DELPHOS Back in the 1980s, when Louise
Sroufe worked at Martys Jewelers on the corner of
Second and Main streets, the company got into the
spirit of Old Fashioned Canal Days by setting up
tables on the walk in front of the store.
It was so much fun, Sroufe said. Martha and
I had outfits made, we decorated the store windows
and displayed old jewelry. It was like dress-up days
from when you were a kid.
She said in the 1960s, downtown streets of
Delphos were filled with enthusiastic retailers who
embraced the celebration and decorated their store-
front windows with antiques, pictures of Delphos
families and memorabilia.
It really impressed me, she said. Pictures of the
town and families who lived here.
Sroufe reminisced about Odenwellers Clothing
Store displaying photos of family members,
Westrichs had different pictures of historical figures
and W. T. Remlinger Drug Store had old fashioned
mortar and pestles in their storefront windows.
I remember Bill Remlingers father, Harold, walk-
ing around town in his stove top hat during Canal
Days, she said.
Sroufe said some years later, her sister, Linda,
bought it and then returned it back to the family.
I really enjoyed the rides uptown and the grand
parade, she added.

FORT JENNINGS Fort Jennings
School Board members sent a big thank you
out to the Musketeer Athletic Boosters who
donated new soccer bleachers to the school
and all the volunteers who gave their time for
the recent installation of the new bleachers
during Wednesdays school board meeting.
High School Principal Nicholas Langhals
said everyone did a fantastic job; the bleach-
ers fit the field great.
We want to thank everybody who came
out, he said. It was a great experience all
the way around.
Board members accepted a $500 dona-
tion for fertilizer from the Soccer Boosters
and $50 to the Building Fund in memory of
Alphonse Schroeder.
They also approved the activities budgets,
2014-15 bus routes/stops as presented and
the high school and elementary book bills as
presented.
Review updated NEOLA policies as pre-
sented.
The only change is the wording,
Langhals said. Our representative will be
here for a safety training including Epi-
pens.
As I understand it, if my son would be
stung, administration can make the decision
to use an Epi-pen? Board President Karl
Schimmoeller asked.
Elementary School Principal Matthew
Dub said the only time an Epi-pen is used
is when a student is experiencing anaphylaxis
and they cannot breathe.
Members also approved the use of the
school cafeteria for the Band Supper on Oct.
5.
Board members commended the high
school marching band for its performances
at the Ottoville Park Carnival and Kalida
Pioneer parades.
They have done a fantastic job and
received many compliments on their perfor-
mances, Langhals added. They have a great
instructor and parents are engaged with the
students.
The schools administration wanted to
thank Subway of Ottoville for the Welcome
Back Breakfast for the staff.
The next meeting will be held at 7:30 p.m.
on Oct. 15 in the schools library

Ottoville receives
$50K anonymous
donation
BY NANCY SPENCER
DHI Media editor
nspencer@delphosherald.com
CLOVERDALE The sports
complex at Ottoville Local School will
receive some enhancements thanks to
a $50,000 anonymous donation rec-
ognized at Wednesdays school board
meeting.
According to Superintendent Scott
Mangas the money has been ear-
marked for press boxes for the base-
ball and softball diamonds and soccer
shelters.
We are going to see if the Big
Green Athletic Boosters will help
us out a little with those projects,
Mangas added.
The school board passed a motion
to approve bidding out the press
boxes.
The district also received
$10,548.62 in casino tax revenue. That
figure is down from 2013s $11,357.
Overpayment into Workers
Compensation will net Ottoville
$10,000. The districts also received a
rebate several years ago and used the
money for safety upgrades.
The school board also approved a
motion to accept the rate of $64 per
day for students at the Wood County
Juvenile Detention Center and $64 per
student per day for students in long-
term care at the Juvenile Residential
Center of Northwest Ohio. The district
does not have any students attending
either center.

Sisters unite to save lives
Sisters Diane Turtle Eickholt, Bonnie Merschman, Janet Siefker and Elaine Wehri came together
to donate blood to the American Red Cross at the Sept. 4 blood drive at the Delphos Eagles. The
goal for the day was 34 pints of blood and 46 pints were collected. Those reaching gallon levels are:
Therese Rahrig, three gallons; Elaine Wehri, 10 gallons; and Donald Lehman, 11 gallons. The next
blood drive at the Delphos Eagles is scheduled for Nov. 6. A month ago, the four sisters all went to
the Delphos Nursing Home to entertain the residents with music, song and dance for an hour. They
are uncertain where they will go next month but it will be somewhere that will benefit our commu-
nity. Above: Nurses help the four sisters give blood. Included are, front from left, Bonnie Merschman,

EarthTalk E - The Environmental Magazine
Dear EarthTalk: I thought that putting ethanol in our
gas tanks was going to help fight climate change, but lately
Ive heard reports to the contrary. Can you enlighten?
Bill B., Hershey, PA
Ethanol and similar biofuels made from corn and other
crops seem like a good idea given their potential for reducing
our carbon outputs as well as our reliance on fossil fuels. But
recent research has shown that the federal governments push
to up production of corn-derived ethanol as a gasoline additive
since 2007 has actually expanded our national carbon footprint
and contributed to a range of other problems.
U.S. corn producers started ramping up ethanol production in
2007 as a result of President George W. Bushs Renewable Fuels
Standard (RFS), which mandated an increase in the volume of
renewable fuel to be blended into transportation fuel from nine
billion gallons in 2008 to 36 billion by 2022. Ethanol now makes
up 10 percent of the gasoline available at filling stations.
But environmentalists now say that the promise of ethanol
has turned out to be too good to be true. For one, there is the
issue of net energy produced. According to Cornell University
ecologist David Pimentel, growing and processing corn into
a gallon of ethanol requires 131,000 BTUs of energy, but the
resulting ethanol contains only 77,000 BTUs. And since fossil-
fuel-powered equipment is used to plant, harvest, process and
distribute ethanol, the numbers only get worse.
The non-profit Environmental Working Group (EWG)
warns that continued production of corn ethanol is not only
worse for the climate than gasoline but also bad for farmers,
the land and consumers: It is now clear that the federal corn
ethanol mandate has driven up food prices, strained agricultur-
al markets, increased competition for arable land and promoted
conversion of uncultivated land to grow crops.
Additionally, the group reports that previous estimates dra-
matically underestimated corn ethanols greenhouse gas emis-
sions by failing to account for changes in land use, citing a
2012 study documenting the conversion of eight million acres
of Midwestern grassland and wetlands to corn fields for etha-
nol between 2008 and 2011. These land use changes resulted
in annual emissions of 85 million to 236 million metric tons
of greenhouse gases, says EWG. In light of these emissions,
many scientists now question the environmental benefit of so-
called biofuels produced by converting food crops.
Given the potential negative impacts of so-much corn-based
ethanol, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is report-
edly weighing a proposal to cut the amount currently required
by law to be blended into gasoline by 1.39 billion gallons. If
the federal government decides to do this, it could lower U.S.
carbon emissions by some three million tonsequivalent to
taking 580,000 cars off the roads for a year.
The federal governments push to increase produc-
tion of corn-derived ethanol as a gasoline additive
since 2007 has actually expanded our national car-
bon footprint and contributed to a range of other
problems. (Michael Cote photo)

Latta, Olson introduce bipartisan ozone bill
INFORMATION
SUBMITTED
WASHINGTON, D.C.
Congressman Bob Latta
(R-OH) and Congressman
Pete Olson (R-TX) intro-
duced Wednesday bipartisan
legislation that would require
the Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) to include
feasibility and economic
impacts when issuing major
rules. EPA has indicated they
intend to propose a National
Ambient Air Quality Standard
(NAAQS) for ozone, from the
current level of .75 down to
as low as .60 parts per billion.
These levels are so low that
most of America - including
most of our national parks -
will be out of compliance. The
Clean Air, Strong Economies
(CASE) Act, would require
EPA to protect health and con-
sider feasibility when issuing
rules under the Clean Air Act.
We all want clean air and
a healthy environment, Latta
said. When proceeding with
new regulations, they must
be achievable and without
significant harm to our econ-
omy. Manufacturers should
not be faced with the choice
of complying with EPA regu-
lations or staying in busi-
ness. Not only would these
new standards put much of
America out of compliance,
but they also fail to take into
account the $270 billion and
millions of jobs that would be
lost nationwide. The CASE
Act would ensure we con-
tinue to improve our air qual-
ity, while also factoring in the
feasibility of compliance and
economic harm.
America has made
important gains in air qual-
ity over the last 30 years and
should continue to do bet-
ter, Rep. Olson said. But
this new level puts most of
America out of compliance.
The National Association of
Manufacturers recently esti-
mated that compliance with
this new rule could reduce
annual GDP by $270 billion
dollars and cost 2.9 million
jobs. Our bill will simply
update the Clean Air Act to
allow EPA to consider eco-
nomic costs when issuing
rules, something they are cur-
rently not allowed to do. It
would bring the proper bal-
ance to improving air quality,
while doing so with achiev-
able technology and ensur-
ing the process does the least
harm to our economy.
In a letter of support for
the CASE Act, the U.S.
Chamber of Commerce
stated that, This legislation
would improve the rulemak-
ing process involved with the
Environmental Protection
Agencys review and set-
ting of National Ambient
Air Quality Standards
(NAAQS) for ground-level
ozone by requiring better
scientific data, more trans-
parency and considerations
of feasibility and economic
impact.

Farmers must have certification to apply fertilizer
BY JAMES HOORMAN
Putnam County Extension Ag Educator
news@delphosherald.com
The following information came from the
Ohio Department of Agriculture.
In June, Governor Kasich signed the Ohio
agriculture nutrients law which will require
farmers applying fertilizer to become certi-
fied. The new law is Ohio Revised Code
905.321-322 and can be accessed at: codes.
ohio.gov/orc/905.322 and codes.ohio.gov/
orc/905.321.
This certification is part of a broader ini-
tiative developed by a task force convened
in 2012 with several Ohio agencies par-
ticipating. The task force focused on develop-
ing recommendations for improving Ohios
waterways while maintaining the integrity of
the regions agricultural industry. A fact sheet
about the new law is available from ODA
at: agri.ohio.gov/apps/odaprs/doc/Senate%20
Bill%20150%20FAQs.pdf.
Who needs a fertilizer certification?
Fertilizer certification is required if you
apply fertilizer (other than manure) to more
than 50 acres of agricultural production
grown primarily for sale. The law also allows
for an uncertified person to apply fertilizer
if they are under the direct supervision of a
person who is certified. If you have the co-op
or other custom applicator to make your
fertilizer applications, you do not need the
certification.
When do I need the certification?
The certification must be obtained by Sept.
30, 2017. Farmers have three years to get cer-
tified to apply fertilizer. Farmers will be able
to get certified in conjunction with their Ohio
pesticide applicators license.
How will the certification process work?
There are three steps in the certification
process.
You must: fill out an application form, pay
an application fee and attend a training ses-
sion. A person that already has a valid com-
mercial or private pesticide applicator license
must apply for the certification but will not
be required to pay the application fee. The
fertilizer training session will also be included
in the pesticide license training beginning in
early 2015.
If you DO NOT have an Ohio Pesticide
Applicator License, follow these steps: 1)
Attend an initial fertilizer certification train-
ing class. 2) Complete and sign a fertilizer
certification form at the end of the training
class. 3) You will receive an invoice for $30
from the Ohio Department of Agriculture for
your license. You will need to recertify for
fertilizer certification every three years.
If you DO have an Ohio Pesticide
Applicator License, follow these steps: 1)
Attend a fertilizer certification training class
offered with your pesticide recertification.
Classes will begin this winter. 2) Complete
and sign a fertilizer certification form at the
end of the training class. 3) Youre done.
Because you already have an Ohio private
applicator license, there is no charge for the
fertilizer certification. You will recertify your
fertilizer certification every three years along
with your pesticide license.
How often do I have to renew my certi-
fication?
All certifications will be valid for three
years, at which point the applicator will need
to be recertified. The recertification procedure
will be the same as the initial certification
procedure.
If I hire someone else to apply my fertil-
izer do I still have to be certified?
No, however the person hired to apply
fertilizer must be certified or under the direct
supervision of someone who is certified.
What happens if I dont get certified?
Applying commercial fertilizer after Sept.
30, 2017, without a certification could result
in fines and/or being charged with a misde-
meanor offense.
How much will it cost?
The initial application fee for fertilizer
certification will be the same as the pesticide
license fee: $30. A person that already has a
valid commercial or private applicator license
will not be required to pay the application fee.
Do I have to keep records of my fertil-
izer usage?
Export customers commit to buy $2.3 billion of U.S. soy
INFORMATION
SUBMITTED
MILWAUKEE Buyers
from China at the second-
annual, soy-checkoff-funded
U.S. Global Trade Exchange
have agreed to buy $2.3 bil-
lion of U.S. soy totaling 176
million bushels of U.S. soy-
beans, marking the second
consecutive year that the
gathering has generated sig-
nificant export sales for U.S.
soybean farmers in their own
backyard.
This is very exciting news
for U.S. soybean farmers,
said Jim Call, soybean farmer
from Minnesota and United
Soybean Board (USB) chair-
man. This shows that we
continue to meet the needs of
our international customers,
and theyve certainly taken
notice.
The event where foreign
buyers gather in the heart
of the American Soybean
Belt to make deals and learn
about U.S. soy is co-spon-
sored by the U.S. Soybean
Export Council (USSEC),
the Midwest Shippers
Association and the American
Soybean Association (ASA).
It continues through today.
This week is really a
great example of the whole
picture of U.S. soys work
with our export partners,
said Randy Mann, USSEC
chairman and soybean farmer
from Kentucky. Of course
the new sales are a boon for
farmers, but were also laying
groundwork for future sales
by helping our current and
prospective customers learn
more about the sustainabil-
ity and quality advantage of
American soybeans.
During the event, inter-
national representatives will
meet with U.S. soy farmer-
leaders and will also attend
a variety of presentations to
learn about the sustainability
and quality of U.S. soybeans.
This event is a great
opportunity for U.S. farm-
ers to interface with our cus-
tomers overseas, says Ray
Gaesser, ASA president and
soybean farmer from Iowa.
They continue to demand
the soybeans we produce, and
we continue to innovate to
bring higher quality and bet-
ter beans for them. The rela-
tionships were strengthening
here in Milwaukee are a huge
part of why soybeans are the
leaders in U.S. farm exports.
USB chairman
commends soybean
farmers for meeting
customer demands
Soybean exports
brewing in Milwaukee
ST. LOUIS - Brew City recently became Soy City as
more than 270 representatives of major international compa-
nies interested in importing U.S. soy came together for the
second annual U.S. Soy Global Trade Exchange in Milwaukee.
Areas represented included China, the Middle East, Vietnam
and many others.
Every other row of U.S. soybeans is exported, so it is
imperative to build and retain strong relationships with our
international customers, says Jim Call, soybean farmer from
Minnesota and United Soybean Board (USB) chairman. The
Global Trade Exchange gives U.S. soybean farmers a great
opportunity to meet face to face with these valuable customers
and prospective buyers as they commit to buying millions of
bushels of our soybeans.
International representatives committed to buy $2.8 billion
worth of U.S. soy during last years U.S. Soy Global Trade
Exchange in Davenport, Iowa.
In the most recent marketing year, U.S. soybean farmers
exported more than 1.7 billion bushels of U.S. soy to customer
beyond our borders. The value of these exports set a record of
more than $28 billion.
The event, which is co-sponsored by USB, the American
Soybean Association (ASA), the checkoff-funded U.S.
Soybean Export Council (USSEC) and the Midwest Shippers
Association, continues through today. Besides meeting with
U.S. soy farmer-leaders, attendees will also attend a variety of
presentations to learn about the sustainability and quality of
U.S. soybeans.

Patronage lowers borrowers
net cost of borrowed funds
INFORMATION
SUBMITTED
FOSTORIA The Board
of Directors of Ag Credit,
ACA recently approved
the redemption of the 2008
Nonqualified Allocated
Surplus (NQAS) in the
amount of $6.78 million.
This distribution is consis-
tent with the Boards plans
to maintain a strong capital
position for the Association,
yet return profits to its mem-
bers in a timely manner. This
patronage distribution is pos-
sible due to the cooperatives
continued strong financial
performance and the ongoing
support of each of its mem-
ber-borrowers. This action
by the Board brings the total
cash patronage returned to the
member-owners of Ag Credit
during 2014 to $20.47 mil-
lion. It is the largest total
distribution in Ag Credits
history.
Retirement of this
Nonqualified Allocated
Surplus is significant because:
This allocation reduces
borrowers net cost of borrow-
ing from Ag Credit below the
competitive market rate we
charge up front. The low up-
front rates, coupled with the
profits returned as patronage,
result in a low cost source of
financing.
The distribution of this
allocation indicates Ag Credit
is financially strong. The
Board approved this retire-
ment of Allocated Surplus
because the Association
has met financial standards
deemed appropriate by the
Board as well as applicable
regulatory standards.
Ag Credit is proud to be
able to return this allocation
to its members. The coop-
erative has declared $189.8
million of patronage over the
past 27 years.

I watched Joan Rivers: A Piece of Work
recently. It is amazing. Really.
I was already deeply saddened by her
death, as I enjoyed her humor, as acerbic as
it was. I just liked her carefree, say whatever
she wanted attitude. I only knew that side of
her, though. When I watched this documen-
tary, I learned so much more about her the
real her. The stripped-down, vulnerable, open
her.
The very beginning of the documentary
grabbed my attention, the commanding music
and the bare-faced Joan, right before a make-
up artist begins to cake her face with thick,
nowhere-near-her-natural-complexion foun-
dation.
The documentary
then launches into
what might be the
most revealing film
of this genre I have
ever seen. We learn
some general infor-
mation about Rivers,
going through her
history and early comedy routines. But things
soon shift into uncharted territory, delving
into her personal life, events that have left
her scarred and hurt. Her relationship with
Johnny Carson, which began as a magi-
cal friendship, one that began with her first
appearing on his show and causing him to tell
her as soon as she got offstage that, Youre
gonna be a star! Their relationship soured,
however, after she became his permanent
guest host, but then accepted an offer for her
own show on Fox. She called Johnny first, to
tell him the great news, and he promptly hung
up on her. And didnt speak to her ever again.
It is obvious that Rivers was extremely hurt
by this, still in a state of disbelief, wondering
what shed done wrong.
We see many instances of Rivers being
hurt throughout her life. How people make
fun of her plastic surgery. How another of
her best friends simply deserted her one day.
How her husband committed suicide after her
Fox show was cancelled. These instances all
support a Joan Rivers I had never seen. She
was known as being an abrasive comedienne,
holding nothing back, coming across many
times as really having no feelings at all. That
couldnt be further from the truth. She actu-
ally reveals herself to be possibly the most
sensitive person Ive seen. She just overcom-
pensated for her inse-
curities by portraying
herself as the opposite.
I was glued to the
screen the entire time,
fascinated by this
multi-faceted star who
had such a charismat-
ic, daring way about
her and one that sealed
her fate by being the first female comic who
really paved the way for so many female
comics to follow her. She, in actuality, paved
the way for comedians in general, both female
and male. And she never stopped working.
Joan was a workaholic, and I never knew this,
either. She never turned down a gig.
Rivers was one-of-a-kind, one with such
a dynamic personality that its hard to even
believe shes gone. If youve never seen this
documentary, you should. It sheds new light
on the life of someone who was light years
away from boring. One of the most interesting
people to ever live.
Rest in peace, Joan.

salt. Using a butter knife,
spread some cream cheese
in each jalapeno. Place a
rectangle of Colby Jack
cheese over the cream
cheese. Top with bacon
and grill on low-medium
heat until cheese is melted
and the outside of the jala-
peno is soft and cheese is
melted. Remove from grill
and sprinkle some fresh
cracked pepper to taste.
Serve immediately with
ranch dressing or BBQ
sauce for dipping.
Jalapeo Chicken Curls
3 large chicken breasts,
skinned, boned and halved
1 tablespoon butter or
margarine, softened
1 container (8 ounces)
whipped cream cheese
with chives, at room tem-
perature
6 fresh or canned jala-
peos, seeded
6 slices bacon
Flatten chicken breast
halves to 1/2-inch thick-
ness by hammering them
with a kitchen mallet.
Spread butter on each
chicken piece, then spread
about 3 tablespoons cream
cheese on each. Place a
jalapeo at the edge of
the cheese-topped side,
then roll up chicken piece
around the jalapeo (with
the cheese on the inside
of the roll). Repeat with
remaining chicken pieces
and jalapeos.
Wrap a slice of bacon
around each chicken roll.
Place rolls, seam-side
down, in a shallow bak-
ing dish. Bake at 400
degrees for 40 minutes,
or until chicken is ten-
der. Complete cooking
by broiling 5 minutes,
or until bacon is crisp.
Makes 6 servings.

Delphos Police Chief Kyle Fittro, left, was the guest speaker at the
Delphos Optimist meeting. Fittro spoke about the changes that have taken
place at the Delphos Police Department, noting the biggest change moving
the dispatch out of the office. That has worked very well and most call-
ers do not notice any difference. Calls are handled fast, accurately and
efficiently. Delphos Optimist member Kevin Wieging thanks him for his
presentation. (Submitted photo)

Falcons speed too much for Lady Dawgs
By JIM METCALFE
DHI Media Sports Editor
jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com
ELIDA Speed kills on the soccer
pitch.
Just ask the Elida Lady Bulldogs.
Riverdales speed put them up 2-0
in the first half and helped the Lady
Falcons stay that way for a 4-2 vic-
tory Wednesday night under the lights of
Elida Athletic Complex on Youth Night.
Riverdale had a couple of
girls up front we knew were
going to be tough to handle and
we had a couple of defensive
breakdowns in the first half that
led to breakaways, Elida coach
Brady Overholt said. I thought we did a
better job of controlling them the second
half with ball possession but they ended
up catching us twice on quick counters
the second half that led to breakaways; I
think they scored on three.
The Falcons (7-1-1) used speedsters
such as Katie Conley, Taylor Frey, Gabi
Rodriguez and Lexie Wright to bedevil
the Lady Bulldogs (6-3-0) all during the
first half.
Rodriguez had the first opening at
38:31 but sophomore goalkeeper Lydia
Burnett (7 saves versus 11 shots on-
goal) made the stop of the 16-yarder.
Elida had a chance to go up at 31:22
when senior Brett Pauff who also was
a bother to the Falcon defense all night
from her midfield spot launched a
28-yard free kick that hit the crossbar,
bounced high into the field of play
and allowed freshman netminder Jenna
Livingston (8 saves vs. 14 shots on-
goal) to come up with the orb.
At 28:58, Kelsey Martin let
fly with a 30-yarder on the left
wing that Burnett deflected for-
ward but couldnt control; the
freshman Rodriguez was there
to slide a 10-yarder past Burnett
and a 1-0 edge.
Riverdales attack was just quicker
than the Bulldogs the rest of an increas-
ingly rugged half and got that important
second goal at 6:19. Lexi Bahn made a
terrific run down the middle of the pitch
and nearing the goal, veered right and
drew Burnett slightly out. Her 20-yarder
just outside the right post went over the
top and into the back of the net for a
2-0 edge.
Whatever Overholt told his troops and
how he adjusted his teams attack at half-
time worked wonders as the hosts con-
trolled the pace of the second half. They
were the aggressors and attacked the goal.
However, either their shots were off-
target or Livingston got saves.
One particularly good chance came at
23:51 when sophomore Hope Carter had
a 10-yarder after passing to herself in
the box that hit the bar and bounced
out of bounds.
The Orange and Black halved its defi-
cit at 21:26. Pauff, on a free kick from
just outside the right post, looped a
22-yarder over the top of the keeper and
into the twine for a 2-1 deficit.
The hosts pressed the attack even
more especially Pauff but couldnt
berak through.
That set up the next goal for the visi-
tors. On a quick counterattack started
by Frey, she found Rodriguez for a long
dribble down the middle of the pitch.
As she neared the goal, Burnett came
out and deflected an initial 15-yarder;
however, she couldnt control the orb
and Rodriguez kept coming to put it into
an open goal for a 3-1 edge.
I spoke too soon - sigh!
By JIM METCALFE
DHI Media Sports Editor
jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com
I spoke too soon in my column last week about Ray
Rice appearing to take responsibility for the second video
that showed him punching his then-fiancee in the face on
the elevator and being summarily suspended indefinitely
and dropped by the Baltimore Ravens.
The NFL Players Union field an appeal of the verdict.
OK, I guess I get that. It is the unions job any
unions job to protect its workers, even on something
as outrageous as this behavior.
I was hoping that maybe he really would accept the
verdict at least for a time to cool off and let the emo-
tions calm down, not that Im saying people shouldnt be
outraged and then maybe appeal.
Heres the thing: if he does win, think any team will be
crazy enough to pick him up?
I think there is more than enough blame to go around
but Im not really sure how much to each. Did law
enforcement and the justice system drop the ball when it
came to making sure they had ALL the facts, videos, etc.,
and allowed Rice to even be considered for the decision
eventually made; in all honesty, from what Ive gathered
about that program hes in, its very suspicious but I am
also willing to give them some benefit of the doubt until
proven otherwise.
Did the NFL and Roger Goodell drop the ball for the
same things: having all the facts and figures as to what
really happened or perhaps ignoring something they
hoped would go away?

Key developments in NFL controversies
Associated Press
NEW YORK The NFL
is under pressure from spon-
sors, fans and lawmakers
for its handling of domestic
violence allegations against
several players. At issue is
whether the league is acting
swiftly enough to investigate
or discipline players.
Here is a look at key
developments Wednesday:
VIKINGS: WE MADE A
MISTAKE
The Minnesota Vikings
reversed course and indefi-
nitely benched star running
back Adrian Peterson, claim-
ing they made a mistake in
reinstating him as he faced a
child abuse charge in Texas
for spanking his son with a
tree branch. In an interview
with the Houston Chronicle,
Petersons mother said the
player was trying hard to be
a good parent and that she
had used her hand, branch-
es and belts to discipline
Peterson and his siblings.
When you whip those you
love, its not about abuse, but
love, Bonita Jackson said.
DWYER ARRESTED
Arizona running back
Jonathan Dwyer was arrested
on aggravated assault charges
in connection with two
altercations at his home
in late July involving
a 27-year-old woman
and an 18-month-
old child. One of the
counts was aggravated
assault causing a fracture.
The Cardinals said they
became aware of the situation
Wednesday and are cooper-
ating with the investigation.
Dwyer has been deactivated
from all team activities.
HARDY REMOVED
The Carolina Panthers
removed Greg Hardy from
the teams active roster until
his domestic violence case
is resolved. Hardy was con-
victed July 15 of assault on
a female and communicat-
ing threats after the victim
claimed the 6-4, 275-pound
player threw her in the bath-
tub and onto a sofa covered
with guns before threatening
to kill her. Hardy is appeal-
ing. We have attempted to
be thoughtful about this but
there is no rule book
for this, Carolina
general manager Dave
Gettleman said.
SPONSOR WATCH
Nike suspended its
sponsorship deal with
Peterson. In a statement, the
company said that it in no way
condones child abuse or domes-
tic violence of any kind and has
shared our concerns with the
NFL.
MARSHALL CASE
RESURFACES
The father of a woman
who once dated Bears receiver
Brandon Marshall recounted
abuse allegations from 2008 in
a news conference and claimed
he wrote the NFL about his
daughters case but never got
a response. Marshall served a
1-game suspension in the case.
Attorney Gloria Allred, who
called the news conference,
told reporters she is asking the
league to come up with a better
investigation procedure.
COULD CONGRESS
INTERVENE?
House Minority Leader
Nancy Pelosi says the NFLs
investigation into the Ray Rice
case is appropriate for now.
But the California Democrat
didnt rule out that Congress
may reconsider the NFLs anti-
trust exemption, which allows
teams to negotiate radio and tele-
vision broadcast rights togeth-
er. The NFL players union
appealed Rices indefinite sus-
pension Tuesday night, saying
that he shouldnt be punished
twice for punching his fiancee
in a casino elevator. Rice was
originally handed a 2-game sus-
pension in July under the NFLs
personal conduct policy after he
was charged with assault for
the Feb. 15 attack.
Carrasco Ks 12 in 2-hitter, Indians top Astros
HOUSTON (AP) Carlos Carrasco threw
a 2-hitter with a career-high 12 strikeouts to
lead the Cleveland Indians over the Houston
Astros 2-0 Wednesday night.
Yan Gomes had an RBI single in the fourth
inning and a run-scoring triple in the sixth.
Carrasco (8-5) walked one in his first
career complete game. His previous best
for strikeouts was 10 on Sept. 2 against
Detroit and his longest outing had been
8 2/3 innings on Sept. 7 against the
Chicago White Sox.
The right-hander retired his first seven
batters before walking Jon Singleton in
the third. Carrasco did not allow a hit
until Jose Altuves infield single leading off
the fourth.
Altuve had another infield single with
two outs in the ninth, snapping a streak of 17
straight batters retired by Carrasco.
In eight August and September starts,
Carrasco has allowed seven runs in 54 innings
including four in his previous start Friday
at Detroit. He has not permitted a run in four
of those eight starts.
Altuve leads the majors with 213 hits,
which ties Dustin Pedroia for the most by a
second baseman since 1974. Pedroia had 213
hits for Boston in 2008, when he won the AL
MVP award.
Houston starter Brett Oberholtzer (5-12)
gave up two runs and seven hits with three
strikeouts in 7 2/3 innings. The left-hander
retired 11 of the first 12 batters he faced
before Carlos Santana got the games first
hit with a double in the fourth.
Gomes reached on an error in the second.
TRAINERS ROOM
Indians: OF Ryan Raburn had an MRI
on his left knee that revealed a menis-
cus injury, manager Terry Francona said.
Raburn will have season-ending surgery. He
needs to get the meniscus fixed, so we are in
the midst of having that set up to have the
scope, and it will be done sooner rather than
later, Francona added. Hopefully real soon.
Ligaments are good, all intact.
Astros: RHP Brad Peacock, scratched from
his scheduled start Monday with lower back
tightness, will start Friday against Seattle.

(Continued from page 6)
I hope that is not the case and some low-level person
dropped the ball and should be fired, fired and oh yeah
fired.
Again, lets hope the outside investigation will uncover all
those responsible for a seeming contradiction about no one in
the league office seeing that darned video.
Then you have the Adrian Peterson situation, punishing his
4-year-old with a small tree switch.
I am of the age that I can remember the older folks talking
about that kind of corporal punishment back then but its
most definitely frowned upon these days.
I dont know what would cause this man to use this kind of
punishment on his child. He claims it was done to him when
he was a lad and it saved him from being just another statistic.
I cant speak to that because I dont know what it was like
to be born and raised where he was. Maybe thats the only way
he couldve survived in that environment but I wonder if that
is true for his child.
I believe the Vikings made a smart move in deactivating
him even if it seems that its only been done to soothe
angry voices that are descending on the NFL and its teams in
spades.
How many other teams wouldve done the same thing
before being forced to?
Good question.
One I cannot figure out is how Greg Hardy almost made
the field Sunday until owner Jerry Richardson put the kabosh
on that.
He was convicted of a crime and is appealing.
That is a no-brainer to me; you dont play.
It all brings to mind something that Dallas Mavericks
owner Mark Cuban warned the NFL about a while back a
friend of mine reminded me of this in that the League were
basically gettting too big for its britches.
In other words, does the league think it is too powerful to
fail or be toppled?
Maybe this is a reminder that it is not.
Musings
Elida
Golf
Television: Golf Channel (Today, 2-5 p.m., 8-11 p.m.; Friday-Saturday, 2-5 p.m.,
10:30 p.m.-1:30 a.m.; Sunday, 2-5 p.m., 11 p.m.-2 a.m.).
Last year: Chesson Hadley won the season-ending tournament, and John
Peterson topped the money list in the four-event series.
Last week: Justin Thomas won the Nationwide Childrens Hospital Championship
in Columbus, Ohio, beating Richard Sterne with a birdie on the first hole of a playoff.
Notes: The tournament ends the four-event series for the top 75 players from the
Web.com Tour money list and Nos. 126-200 in the PGA Tours FedEx Cup standings.
The top 25 on the Web.com money list have earned PGA Tour cards. They are compet-
ing against each other for PGA Tour priority, with regular-season earnings counting in
their totals and the final leader getting a spot in The Players Championship. The other
players are fighting for another 25 cards based on their earnings in the series. Bud
Cauley won the series-opening event in Fort Wayne, Indiana, and Adam Hadwin took
the second in Davidson, North Carolina.
Online: http://www.pgatour.com
Still, Elida was not done and
got within 3-2 at 8:42. Pauff, near
the left sideline, fired toward the
goal and senior Abby Waddle (at
10 yards on the wing) redirected it
off a defender and into the net for a
1-goal deficit.
They nearly tied it at 5:32. Off a
corner kick from freshman Jaydon
Hollstein from the left side, she
nearly curled it into the right side
of the net but Martin headed it away
just before it crossed the goal line.
Finally, with the hosts pushing
hard for the equalizer, that left them
vulnerable to another quick counter
and thats what happened, opening
up a chance for another corner kick
(5 for the Falcons, 4 for Elida). On
the left sideline, Rodriguez launched
a brilliant curler over the keeper and
Frey was point-blank to put the pass
into the net for the final score.
We do have good speed up
front. The only thing that hurt us
throughout the night was we lost
two key players during the match to
injuries and had one out already,
Lady Falcon coach Andrew Snook
said. That caused us to use some
younger players the second half,
especially in the midfield and up
front, but we re-asserted ourselves
on those quick counterattacks; we
were looking for them since Elida
was pressing for a tying goal.
Overholt felt his team had chanc-
es that got away.
We controlled the second half
but didnt finish enough shots, he
added. That is one area we must
get better at; finishing and putting
the ball in the net. Our shots were
right at the keeper instead of good
placement. The second is control-
ling those counters and breakaways.
Third, we just seemed out of the
flow too much; when we had good
crosses, we werent there to con-
nect.
Elida hosts Van Buren 1 p.m.
Saturday, while Riverdale hosts

DEAR ABBY: My dad
died in April after a brief ill-
ness. Before he passed, my
stepmother encouraged him
to donate his body to science
because she is to be buried
with her rst husband, and
she didnt want the expense of
burying Dad.
I went to pick up my fathers
ashes as she requested. When I
got there, she invited me into
her bedroom to see that she
had made a shrine to her rst
husband, who had died three
years before she and Dad were
married. The one photo she
had of Dad was 2 inches by 3
inches, and was the one from
his memorial invitation.
With a broken heart I made
my way to the door. Abby, she
was married to my dad for 30
years. He supported her, took
care of her, and worked to the
age of 75 to keep her happy --
and that was a task!
As I reached the front door,
I remembered what I was there
for in the rst place -- my dads
ashes. They were still in the
UPS wrap, in a bench that he
kept his shoes and boots in by
the door. Seriously, who does
that? -- GRIEVING DAUGH-
TER IN NEW YORK
DEAR GRIEVING
DAUGHTER: Please accept
my deepest sympathy for the
loss of your father. Unless he
spent the entire 30 years of
his marriage sharing his bed-
room with the shrine to your
stepmothers rst husband,
inviting you in to see it was
beyond insensitive on her part.
The only bright side I can see
to this is that youre now in
possession of your beloved
fathers ashes, and you will
probably never have to see her
again.
DEAR ABBY: I am the fa-
ther of an 8-year-old daughter,
Lindsey. She is my world.
Her mom and I split when
Lindsey was 2. She has re-
married. We are all civil, and
things are good.
Lindsey is getting to the age
in which sleepovers at friends
houses are happening, which
is ne because I know a few
of them and their parents. Im
worried about the fathers or
older brothers of the ones I
dont know. How do you ask
or tell an 8-year-old about the
dangers of pedophiles without
scaring her? This is my big-
gest fear. -- DAD IN LOUISI-
ANA
DEAR DAD: I assume
that, as a conscientious parent,
you are not sending your little
girl off to stay with complete
strangers. Make it a point to
meet and talk with the parents
of the girls who are having the
sleepovers. If thats not pos-
sible, your ex should do it so
you can both be assured that
the party will be properly su-
pervised.
You should also make sure
your daughter knows that she
can talk to you anytime about
ANYTHING and you will lis-
ten, answer her questions and
support her.
I assume that Lindseys
mother has already started
the dialogue about the facts of
life. Talk to your ex about your
concerns and ask what she
has discussed with Lindsey
about boundaries, inappropri-
ate touching and that Lindsey
knows she can come to either
of you if anyone makes her
uncomfortable. The most ef-
fective way to protect a child
is to ensure that there is open,
comfortable communication
on any subject.

Ask Mr. Know-it-All
Earthquake location requires lesson in geography
Q: I was told an earthquake in
Madrid was the strongest ever felt in
North America. How is that possible?
-- N.H., Bar Harbor, Maine
A: I bet are you thinking of Madrid,
Spain. Dont -- the strongest earthquake
in North America happened in New
Madrid, Mo., in the 1800s.
The earthquake was actually a series
of three severe earthquakes that would
have measured in excess of magnitude
8 on the Richter scale, had there been
a Richter scale back then. Collectively,
the rumblings are known as the New
Madrid earthquakes. The first quake
hit on Dec. 16, 1811; the second
occurred on Jan. 23, 1812; and the
third, the strongest of the three, was on
Feb. 7, 1812. Tremors continued for
several months after the final quake.
The vibrations were felt as far north as
Boston and as far south as Mexico. For
a time, the Mississippi River flowed
backward, river islands disappeared
and lakes formed where
there had been none before.
The San Francisco
earthquake of 1906, which
measured 8.3 on the Richter
scale, was felt in an area
of 6,200 square miles. The
New Madrid earthquakes
were felt in an area of
1 million square miles.
Because of the sparseness
of the area at the time, there was little
property damage and few deaths.
Scientists say its not a matter of if
another earthquake will hit the area,
but when. When it does, the loss
figures will be a bit different.
Q: I know of several athletes with
the nickname Dizzy. I once came
across the name used for a politician. I
think it was an affectionate term. Who
was the statesman? -- J.L., Midland,
Texas
A: Friends of former English
Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli
called him Dizzy.
DID YOU KNOW? Daniel
Craig, who is 5 feet 10 inches tall,
is the shortest actor to play James
Bond.
Q: In relationship to current-
day geography, where is
Mesopotamia? Does the name
have a meaning? -- H.E.C.,
Chandler, Ariz.
A: In Greek, Mesopotamia means
between two rivers. Those rivers are
the Tigris and Euphrates. Mesopotamia
is mostly located in present-day Iraq.

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 2014
Its time to realize your
potential. Keep your outlook
realistic, and dont spread
yourself too thin. A focused
approach, combined with your
talent and determination, will
help you make big strides
toward your dreams, hopes and
wishes. Keep your eye on the
big picture.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
-- Think outside the box. You
will be pleasantly surprised
by a new or unusual venture
presented to you. Dont be
afraid to try something new.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23)
-- Slow and steady will be
your best approach. You will
be frustrated if you take on
too many projects. Nothing
will be accomplished to your
satisfaction if you dont pay
attention to detail.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-
Nov. 22) -- An unexpected
change will result in an
exciting venture. Find a way to
incorporate the old and the new
into your plans for the future, to
better suit your needs.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-
Dec. 21) -- You will need to
take good care of fnancial
matters. A joint venture will
have an unfavorable outcome.
An in-depth look at your
documents and records will
ensure that nothing has been
overlooked.
CAPRICORN (Dec.
22-Jan. 19) -- A personal
relationship will cause
dissatisfaction. Dont get
sidetracked from your
professional duties. Once you
are outside the workplace, you
will have more time to do some
soul-searching.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
19) -- Social activities, love and
romance are all highlighted.
Dont be afraid to show your
romantic side. An escape
from your regular routine will
contribute to a happier personal
life.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March
20) -- Your compassion will
shine in dealings with those
you care about. Feel confdent
to enable benefcial changes to
take place. Make a difference
by reaching out to those in
need.
ARIES (March 21-April
19) -- You are always ahead
of the crowd. Dont be too
hard on people who cant keep
up. Showing patience and
understanding will result in
appreciation and admiration.
TAURUS (April 20-May
20) -- Aim high. Take an active
role and see your commitments
through to completion. A
leadership position will be
offered and will help get you
where you want to go.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
-- Dont be dissuaded if others
dont see things your way. Keep
on top of your professional
responsibilities. Maintain your
focus, be diligent and accept
the changes that lie ahead.
CANCER (June 21-July
22) -- Keep busy and avoid
trouble. If you are too idle,
you will end up stressing over
personal problems that you
cannot fx. Avoid emotional
scenes by pursuing your own
projects.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
-- You can show generosity
without opening your wallet.
Offer your time and advice
rather than money. Your
fnancial situation will
deteriorate if you are too free
with your cash.

This event offers a taste
of American ag that they
dont get every day, Call
says. This experience should
give them a better under-
standing of the pride we take
in our farms and product and
how U.S. soybeans will ben-
efit them for the long haul.
Choosing U.S. soy is a win-
win situation for all of us.
The 70 farmer-directors
of USB oversee the invest-
ments of the soy checkoff to
maximize profit opportunities
for all U.S. soybean farmers.
These volunteers invest and
leverage checkoff funds to
increase the value of U.S. soy
meal and oil, to ensure U.S.
soybean farmers and their
customers have the freedom
and infrastructure to operate,
and to meet the needs of U.S.
soys customers. As stipu-
lated in the federal Soybean
Promotion, Research and
Consumer Information Act,
the USDA Agricultural
Marketing Service has over-
sight responsibilities for USB
and the soy checkoff.
Exports
Soy
Certification
In the most recent marketing year, U.S. soybean farmers
exported more than 1.7 billion bushels of U.S. soy to customers
beyond our borders. The value of these exports set a record of
more than $28 billion. Representatives from China committed
to buy $2.8 billion worth of U.S. soy during last years U.S.
Soy Global Trade Exchange in Davenport, Iowa.

Meanwhile, researchers
are trying to develop green-
er forms of ethanol, but
none are ready for market
yet. The lifecycle emis-
sions of ethanol from seed
to tailpipe depend on how
the ethanol is made and what
it is made from, reports
the Union of Concerned
Scientists (UCS). The best
ethanol, they say, can pro-
duce as much as 90 percent
fewer lifecycle emissions
than gasoline, but the worst
can produce much more.
So there still may be room
for ethanol in our energy
future, but not if we keep
doing it the way we are
now.

On Sunday, officers took a third
report of a vehicle being broken into in
the 1200 block of Ft. Jennings Road.
Once again, items were removed, but
no damage was done to this vehicle.
On Monday, officers took a report
from a male in the 800 block of West
Clime Street who told officers that
a female known to him came to his
residence to visit. A short time, later he
discovered that an item was missing.
The male told officers that he did not
want the female to return to his resi-
dence. The female was advised of the
Criminal Trespass statute and advised
not to return.
On Tuesday, officers responded to
the 200 block of South Pierce Street to
investigate a breaking and entering at a
building in this area. Nothing was miss-
ing from the building but the incident
remains under investigation.
On Tuesday, officers were dis-
patched to the 900 block of Lima
Avenue in reference to a neighbor mak-
ing a threat to residents.
Upon arrival, officers met with all
parties involved and got their state-
ments. A report was made, but no
charges are expected to be filed at this
time.
On Wednesday, the Delphos Police
Department was made aware of an
active warrant out of Allen County for
Ronald E. Burk III for non-payment of
child support.
Officers located Burk and took him
into custody. Burk was turned over to
a Deputy and transported to the Allen
County Jail.
Elmer E. Allen of Van Wert, formerly of Delphos, went
to Cincinnati Sunday with a group of employees of the
Kennedy Manufacturing Company to see Cincinnati play
baseball. It was the longest trip he has ever made in his
life, the first time he has been more than 29 miles away
from Van Wert in 40 years. Older residents of Delphos
will probably remember Allen. He was born here on Feb.
24, 1869, and lived in Delphos for 30 years. He was a
salesman for a buggy concern.
A large attendance marked the open house held Sunday
afternoon by the members of the Young Ladies Sodality
of St. Johns parish. The clubrooms, located in the former
home occupied by the Notre Dame Sisters, have been
newly painted and decorated by the sodality members.
The quarters consist of three rooms, library, sitting room
and a large recreation room.

WASHINGTON The Republican-
controlled House voted grudgingly
Wednesday to give the administration
authority to train and arm Syrian rebels
as President Barack Obama emphasized
anew that American forces do not and
will not have a combat mission in the
struggle against Islamic State militants in
either Iraq or Syria.
The 273-156 vote crossed party lines
to an unusual degree in a Congress
marked by near-ceaseless partisanship.
Top Republican and Democratic leaders
backed Obamas plan seven weeks before
midterm elections, while dozens of rank-
and-file lawmakers in both parties opposed
it.
The provision was added to spending
legislation that will ensure the federal gov-
ernment operates normally after the Sept.
30 end of the budget year. Final approval
is expected in the Senate today.
Even supporters of the military plan
found little to trumpet. This is the best of
a long list of bad options, said Rep. Jim
Moran, D-Va.
One Republican supporter noted the
measure includes strict limits on Obamas
authority. Members on both sides of the
aisle are very concerned that too much
of Congress warmaking power has gone
to the president, said Rep. Tom Cole of
Oklahoma.
Obamas remarks and similar com-
ments Wednesday by House Democratic
Leader Nancy Pelosi of California seemed
designed to reassure liberal lawmakers that
the new military mission would be limited.
In a statement following the vote,
Obama said the House took an impor-
tant step forward as our nation unites to
confront the threat posed by the Islamic
State group, showing bipartisan support
for a critical component of his strategy
against the extremists.
Only a day earlier, Gen. Martin E.
Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs
of Staff, drew widespread attention when
he told Congress he might recommend
the use of U.S. ground combat forces if
Obamas current strategy fails to stop the
militants.
Across the political aisle from the presi-
dent and Pelosi, Speaker John Boehner,
R-Ohio, and House Majority Leader Kevin
McCarthy of California swung behind
the plan. Yet many other Republicans
expressed concerns that it would be insuf-
ficient to defeat militants who have over-
run parts of Syria and Iraq and beheaded
two American journalists.
Study: Americans
endure unwanted
care near death
WEST PALM BEACH,
Fla. (AP) Americans suf-
fer needless discomfort and
undergo unwanted and cost-
ly care as they die, in part
because of a medical system
ruled by perverse incen-
tives for aggressive care
and not enough conversa-
tion about what people want,
according to a report released
Wednesday.
Though people repeatedly
stress a desire to die at home,
free from pain, the opposite
often happens, the Institute of
Medicine found in its Dying
in America report. Most
people do not document their
wishes on end-of-life care and
even those who do face a
medical system poorly suited
to give them the death they
want, the authors found.
The result is breathing
and feeding tubes, powerful
drugs and other treatment that
often fails to extend life and
can make the final days more
unpleasant. The report blamed
a fee-for-service medical sys-
tem in which perverse incen-
tives exist for doctors and
hospitals to choose the most
aggressive care; inadequate
training for those caring for
the dying and physicians who
default to life-saving treat-
ment because they worry
about liability.
Its not an intentional
thing. Its a systemic prob-
lem, said David Walker, the
former U.S. comptroller gen-
eral, who co-chaired the com-
mittee that issued the report.
Advance directives includ-
ing living wills have been
unpopular and ineffective, the
report said. It urged repeated
conversations about patients
wishes beginning far earlier
than many would think
perhaps as teenagers and
continuing the talks through-
out life.
The fee-for-service
model, the lack of coordina-
tion between medical and
social services, the challenges
that individuals face in finding
a provider whos willing and
knowledgeable to speak with
them about death and dying
all conspire against them com-
ing up with the right individu-
al plan, said Dr. Philip Pizzo,
a co-chair with Walker.
USDA approves new
modified corn, soybean seeds
By MARY CLARE JALONICK
Associated Press
WASHINGTON The Agriculture Department has
approved the use of genetically modified corn and soybean
seeds that are resistant to a popular weed killer.
However, farmers wont be able to take full advantage of
the seeds until the Environmental Protection Agency issues a
second ruling allowing the use of Enlist, a new version of the
2,4-D weed killer thats been around since the 1940s. The EPA
has said it will rule this fall on Dow AgroSciences application
to market the chemical.
The agriculture industry has been anxiously awaiting the
approvals, as many weeds have become resistant to glypho-
sate, an herbicide commonly used on corn and soybeans now.
Herbicide-resistant seeds introduced in the 1990s allowed
farmers to spray fields after their plants emerged, killing the
weeds but leaving crops unharmed.
Critics say they are concerned the increased use of 2,4-D
could endanger public health and that more study on the chemi-
cal is needed. The USDA has said that if both the seeds and
herbicide are approved, the use of 2,4-D could increase by an
estimated 200 percent to 600 percent by the year 2020.
While the Agriculture Department only oversees the safety
of the plants, the EPA oversees the safety of the herbicide for
human and environmental health. The agency already has
found the chemical safe for the public and agricultural workers.
The department on Wednesday said it had decided to
approve the seeds in an online posting first reported by Politico.
Groups lobbying the agency to prevent the herbicides
expanded use say they are concerned about the toxic effects of
the herbicide and the potential for it to drift. Corn and soybeans
are the nations largest crops, and the potential for expanded
use is huge.
With this approval comes millions of more pounds of
toxic herbicides dumped onto our land. Its an unacceptable
outcome, said Andrew Kimbrell, executive director for Center
for Food Safety.
Dow AgroSciences says the new version has been re-engi-
neered to solve potential problems, like drift before and after
the herbicide hits the plant.
Weve used the latest science and technology to address prob-
lem weeds, said Dow AgroSciences President Tim Hassinger.
Enlist will be a very effective solution, and were pleased to
have this technology one step closer to the farm gate.

Emotions mount on final day of Scottish campaign
EDINBURGH, Scotland (AP) For Scots, Wednesday was a day of excitement, apprehen-
sion, and a flood of final appeals before a big decision. In a matter of hours, they will determine
whether Scotland leaves the United Kingdom and becomes an independent state.
A full 97 percent of those eligible have registered to vote including, for the first time,
16- and 17-year-olds in a referendum that polls suggest is too close to call.
A phone poll of 1,373 people by Ipsos MORI, released Wednesday, put opposition to inde-
pendence at 51 percent and support at 49 percent, with 5 percent of voters undecided.
That means neither side can feel confident, given the margin of error of about plus or minus
three percentage points.
Former Prime Minister Gordon Brown, himself a Scot, told a No campaign rally that the
quiet majority of pro-Union Scots will be silent no more, while pro-independence leader
Alex Salmond urged voters to seize a democratic opportunity 307 years in the making.
In its final hours, the battle for Scotland had all the trappings of a normal election campaign:
Yes Scotland and No, Thanks posters in windows, buttons on jackets, leaflets on street
corners and megaphone-topped campaign cars cruising the streets blasting out Scottish songs
and Children of the Revolution.
But it is, both sides acknowledge, a once-in-a-generation maybe once-in-a-lifetime
choice that could redraw the map of the United Kingdom.
The gravity of the imminent decision was hitting home for many voters as political leaders
made passionate, final pleas for their sides. More than 4.2 million people are registered to vote
in the country of 5.3 million people.
Cathy Chance, who works for Britains National Health Service in the Scottish capital,
Edinburgh, said she would leave Scotland if it became independent.
I dont want to live under a nation thats nationalistic, she said. I dont think the world
needs another political barrier.
On the other side, Yes campaigner Roisin McLaren said she was finally letting herself
believe independence might be possible.
Study: Artificial sweeteners may promote diabetes
NEW YORK (AP) Using artificial
sweeteners may set the stage for diabetes
in some people by hampering the way
their bodies handle sugar, suggests a
preliminary study done mostly in mice.
The authors said they are not recom-
mending any changes in how people use
artificial sweeteners based on their study,
which included some human experiments.
The researchers and outside experts said
more study is needed, while industry
groups called the research limited and said
other evidence shows sweeteners are safe
and useful for weight control.
The study from researchers in Israel was
released Wednesday by the journal Nature.
The work suggests the sweeteners
change the composition of normal, ben-
eficial bacteria in the gut. That appears
to hamper how well the body handles
sugar in the diet, which in turn can
result in higher blood sugar levels. This
impairment, called glucose intolerance,
can eventually lead to diabetes.
Some experts who didnt participate in the
work urged caution in interpreting the results.
James Hill, an obesity expert at the
University of Colorado, called the work
good science. Still, overall, I do not
think there is enough data yet to lead to
a definitive conclusion about artificial
sweeteners and the bodys handling of
sugar, he wrote in an email.
I certainly do not think there is sufficient
evidence to conclude that they are harmful.
But Yanina Pepino of Washington
University in St. Louis said the results make
a convincing case that sweeteners hamper
the bodys handling of sugar by altering gut
bacteria. And it adds to her belief that sweet-
eners and sugar should be used in modera-
tion, especially by children, she said.
Its really providing strong data suggest-
ing we need to do more research, she said.
Researchers began by testing three
widely used sweeteners: saccharin, sold
for example as Sweet N Low; sucra-
lose, sold as Splenda, and aspartame,
sold for example as NutraSweet, in
20 mice. Some animals got one of
those substances in their water, and
others got sugar water or just water.
After 11 weeks, researchers gave all the
mice a dose of sugar and monitored the
response in their blood sugar levels.
The mice that initially got sugar
showed about the same response as
those that got plain water. But mice that
got any of the sweeteners showed mark-
edly higher blood sugar levels, indicat-
ing impairment in handling of the sugar
dose. Further mouse experiments linked
that outcome to an effect on gut bacteria.
