Senator Rand Paul to keynote Allen County BBQ Rally
INFORMATION SUBMITTED
LIMA The annual Allen County Republican
BBQ and Rally will be held Oct. 21 at the UNOH
Event Center in Lima. The BBQ Rally will begin
at 6:15 p.m.
The keynote speaker for this years Republican
BBQ Rally will be US Senator Rand Paul. Senator
Paul is a leading contender for the 2016 Republican
presidential nomination.
Paul has proven to be an outspoken champion
for constitutional liberties and fiscal responsibility
and a warrior against government overreach. Paul
has also been a vocal advocate for a balanced bud-
get amendment, a Read the Bills Act and an audit
of the Federal Reserve.
Attendees of this years BBQ Rally will
have a unique opportunity to hear from Senator
Rand Paul, one of the early frontrunners for the
Republican presidential nomination in 2016, said
Chairman Keith Cheney. I am confident Senator
Paul will rally our Republicans as we head to
Election Day.

Farmers almanacs
get to the root of
the weather
BY BECKY LEADER
DHI Media Correspondent
news@delphosherald.com
PUTNAM COUNTY
Farmers almanacs have been
a staple of American history
since the 1700s. The periodi-
cals predict long-range weath-
er forecasts, provide sunrise
and sunset times, astronomy
and astrology accounts, moon
phases, planting charts and
recipes, in addition to other
useful and sometimes humor-
ous information.
The first annual almanac
printed in early America was
The Astronomical Diary and
Almanac. First published in
1725 in Boston by Nathanael
Ames, it was the most
famous of the early almanacs,
along with Poor Richards
Almanac by Benjamin
Franklin, who is known as
The Father of Almanacs.
In Colonial America, since
the country was an agrar-
ian society, nearly every home
owned an almanac. People
relied on almanacs to predict
the weather, determine the best
time to plant crops and whether
it would be a wet spring or a dry
summer. Almanacs gave direc-
tions to important places and
provided schedules of univer-
sity vacations and court dates
for traveling judges. The weath-
er predictions were based on
astrology, as people measured
and recorded seasonal changes
by reference to astronomical
cycles. Because almanacs were
so important to colonists, print-
ers would pay an astrologer a lot
of money to do the calculations-
almost as much as a Justice of
the Peace was paid.
This story is part one in a
two-part series.

Justices term has expectations on gay unions
WASHINGTON (AP) A Supreme
Court term that is starting with a lack
of headline-grabbing cases may end
with a blockbuster that helps define
the legacy of the court under Chief
Justice John Roberts.
While same-sex marriage is not yet
on their agenda, the justices appear
likely to take on the issue and decide
once and for all whether gay and lesbian
couples have a constitutional right to
marry.
When the justices formally open
their new term Monday, Roberts will
be beginning his 10th year at the
head of the court, and the fifth with
the same lineup of justices. He has
been part of a five-justice conservative
majority that has rolled back campaign
finance limits, upheld abortion restric-
tions and generally been skeptical of
the consideration of race in public life.
But his court has taken a different
path in cases involving gay and les-
bian Americans, despite his opposi-
tion most of the time.
The courts record on gay rights
is comparable to its embrace of civil
rights for African-Americans in the
1950s and 1960s under Chief Justice
Earl Warren, said University of
Chicago law professor David Strauss.
The court will go down in history as
one that was on the frontiers of estab-
lishing rights for gays and lesbians,
Strauss said.
The justices passed up their first
opportunity last week to add gay
marriage cases to their calendar. But
they will have several more chances
in the coming weeks to accept appeals
from officials in Indiana, Oklahoma,
Utah, Virginia and Wisconsin who
are trying to preserve their state bans
on same-sex marriage.
Those prohibitions fell one after the
other following the high courts June
2013 decision that struck down part of
a federal law that defined marriage as
between a man and a woman.
On the courts plate in the new term
are cases involving:
religious, employment and
housing discrimination.
the drawing of political districts
in Alabama and Arizona.
a dispute between Congress and
the president over passports that is
heavy with Middle East politics.
a faulty traffic stop over a cars
broken brake light in North Carolina.
the use of a law to prevent docu-
ment shredding against a fisherman
accused of throwing undersized red
grouper overboard.
the prosecution of a self-styled
rapper whose Facebook postings
threatened his estranged wife, an
FBI agent and area schools.

Iraq War veterans can
claim Ohio Veterans Bonus
COLUMBUS Veterans who served
in Iraq have taken advantage of the Ohio
Veterans Bonus in increasing numbers this
year, but time is rapidly running out to claim
this benefit the deadline for those who
served in Iraq is Dec. 31.
Through Sept. 30, the Ohio Veterans
Bonus program has paid 83,399 total claims,
amounting to more than $67.4 million. While
some claims are for multiple periods of eligi-
bility, claims for Iraq service represent 23,876
of this total, the most of any period. The
Bonus team is approving an average of more
than 160 applications each week.
The eligible period of the Ohio Veterans
Bonus for service in the country of Iraq is
from March 19, 2003, through Dec. 31, 2011.
The deadline of Dec. 31 is for applications
made for this service.
No deadline has been announced for the
Ohio Veterans Bonus for those who served
in Afghanistan or anywhere else in the world
since Oct. 7, 2001.
Were grateful that so many Iraq veterans
have taken advantage of the opportunity to get
the Ohio Veterans Bonus, but we dont want
to leave anyone behind on this, said Ohio
Department of Veterans Services Director
Tim Gorrell. Other veterans, county veteran
service offices and the veterans organizations
have been great about getting the word out.
But everybody in Ohio is close in some way
to veterans someone in their family is serv-
ing, or a neighbor or friend has someone in the
military. So Im asking everybody to reach out
to the veterans they know, and to the active
military from Ohio they know who are serv-
ing outside the state or overseas and make
sure they know about the Bonus.
The Ohio Veterans Bonus is open to veterans
who served anywhere in the world during the
time of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. The
amount of the Bonus is higher for those who
served in Iraq or Afghanistan. It is also open to
the next of kin of those who were killed in action
or died of disease as a result of in-country ser-
vice. The Bonus is not subject to federal or state
taxes and can be used for any purpose.
The specific criteria for award of the
Ohio Veterans Bonus is service in the Armed
Forces, anywhere in the world, of more than
90 days active duty not for training dur-
ing the periods of the conflicts in Iraq and
Afghanistan. For Iraq, the eligible period
is from March 19, 2003, through Dec. 31,
2011; for Afghanistan, it is from Oct. 7,
2001, through a date to be determined by the
President. Eligible veterans must have been
Ohio residents at the time of their entry into
the service, and must be Ohio residents at the
time they apply.
The bonus pays $100 a month to veterans
who served in Iraq or Afghanistan, up to a
maximum of $1,000. For veterans who served
elsewhere, the payment is $50 a month up to
a $500 maximum. Veterans medically dis-
charged due to injuries sustained in-country
can receive $1,000, plus up to $500 for
months of service elsewhere.
Family members of those killed in action
or who died from disease as a result of their
in-country service can receive a bonus of
$5,000 plus whatever the service member was
eligible for, up to a total of $6,500.
Veterans needing more information or to
request an application can call toll-free to
1-877-OHIO VET (1-877-644-6838), option
2; visit www.veteransbonus.ohio.gov or
visit any county veterans service office (see
www.dvs.ohio.gov for an interactive map
of the county offices). The Department has
advertised the program extensively statewide
through public service announcements on
television and radio, newspaper and online
ads, social media, at veterans events, and
through partnerships with veterans service
organizations and other agencies. Postcards
reminding Iraq veterans of the end of the
Bonus were sent in June and July to veterans
whose birth dates matched the likely age
range of Iraq veterans.
Ohio voters approved the Ohio Veterans
Bonus by an overwhelming margin in
November 2009. The law implementing the
Bonus set a deadline for Persian Gulf War
era veterans of Dec. 31, 2013. This same
law set the deadline for Iraq War veterans as
the third year following a date determined
by the President as the end of the conflict.
This date was set as the termination date of
the Iraq Campaign Medal, which was Dec.
31, 2011, making the deadline for Bonus
applications for service in Iraq Dec. 31.
The clock will not start on a deadline for
Afghanistan veterans until the President
determines a date for the wars end.
The Ohio Veterans Bonus continues a tra-
dition of bonuses to reward Ohio veterans that
dates back to the Civil War; however, these
other war bonuses are now closed.

Farmers face big
property tax hike
COLUMBUS (AP)
Many Ohio farmers will see
their property taxes take a
big jump next year because
of imperfections in a formula
used to determine farm taxes.
For some, those tax bills
will double or go up even
more.
Sticker shock is a very
good way to describe this,
said state Sen. Bob Peterson,
a Republican from southwest
Ohio who farms about 2,000
acres in Fayette County.
The Ohio Department
of Taxation has a pro-
gram cal l ed Current
Agricultural Use Value
that is designed to make
farming financially easier
for operators.
It calculates with farmland
values based on crop yield,
soil conditions and market
prices. But low interest rates
and swings in grain prices
are revealing imperfections in
the formula and adding up
to higher property taxes next
year.
Most of Ohios 75,000
farmers take part in the vol-
untary program because it
saves them thousands of dol-
lars annually, The Columbus
Dispatch reported.
The formula used by the
program is based on a rolling,
seven-year average of crop
prices, soil values and other
measures of farm productiv-
ity. The higher bills are based
on past performance.
Bill Cox, a farmer in
Delaware County in central
Ohio, said the formula should
be adjusted to better reflect
current conditions rather than
what happened years ago.
His property tax will rise
from $2,446 to $5,412 next
year.
The money we get for
our crops this year pays for
our taxes next year, he told
The Dispatch. If theyve got
a formula, theyve probably
got some third-grader work-
ing on it.
The Ohio Farm Bureau,
which represents about two-
thirds of Ohio farmers, is
looking into the situation,
said Amy Milam, director of
legal education.
We certainly empathize
with those members who are
alarmed and concerned, she
said. Theyre seeing this
higher valuation now, when
the farm economy isnt as
good as it was. Some are just
wondering if theres a need to
review some of the methods
for the formula.

Girl nabs No. 1 at box
office from Annabelle
LOS ANGELES (AP)
Annabelle couldnt scare
off Gone Girl at the week-
end box office.
The Fox thriller star-
ring Ben Affleck as a man
whose wife goes miss-
ing overcame the Warner
Bros. possessed-doll horror
movie with a $38 million
debut, according to studio
estimates Sunday.
Both films join the recently
released The Maze Runner
and The Equalizer in cross-
ing the $30 million mark this
fall, a typically low-earning
season at the box office.
It was virtually a
photo finish, said Paul
Dergarabedian, senior media
analyst for box-office tracker
Rentrak. These two movies
couldnt be more different.
It shows how if the market-
place presents a diversity of
product, audiences will come
out. Its the third and fourth
$30 million debut of the past
two weeks. Its been a great
post-summer run.
Gone Girl is based on
the best-selling novel by
Gillian Flynn and was direct-
ed by The Social Network
and The Curious Case of
Benjamin Button filmmak-
er David Fincher. The film
earned an additional $24.6
million internationally.
I think David Fincher
made a very provocative,
thought-provoking film,
said Chris Aronson, head of
distribution for Fox. I think
there was this crescendo of
publicity and social-media
chatter that made Gone Girl
into a zeitgeist-y movie that
you have to see to be part of
the conversation.
Annabelle debuted
closely behind Gone Girl
with $37.2 million. The
movie stars Ward Horton and
Annabelle Wallis as new par-
ents who bring the creepy
porcelain plaything seen in
last years haunted house
horror The Conjuring into
their home.
Sonys The Equalizer,
last weeks top performer,
came in third place in its sec-
ond weekend with $19 mil-
lion, bringing its total domes-
tic haul to $64.5 million.
The revenge thriller starring
Denzel Washington reteams
him with director Antoine
Fuqua, who helmed 2001s
Training Day, the film that
earned Washington an Oscar
for best actor.
Left Behind, the week-
ends other big debut, opened
in sixth place with $6.8 mil-
lion. The Rapture-set film
starring Nicholas Cage is
based on the novel of the
same name.
Dergarabedian said overall
ticket sales for the weekend
box office were $149 million,
an 18 percent increase from
the same weekend last year.
Estimated ticket sales

for Friday through Sunday
at U.S. and Canadian the-
aters, according to Rentrak.
Where available, the latest
international numbers are
also included. Final domestic
figures will be released today.
1. Gone Girl, $38 mil-
lion ($24.6 million interna-
tional).
2. Annabelle, $37.2
million ($20 million interna-
tional).
3. The Equalizer, $19
tional).
4. The Boxtrolls, $12.4
tional).
5. The Maze Runner,
$12 million ($16.5 million
international).
6. Left Behind, $6.8
million.
7. This Is Where I Leave
You, $4 million.
8. Dolphin Tale 2, $3.5
million.
9. Guardians of the
Galaxy, $3 million ($2.4
million international).
10. No Good Deed, $2.5
million.
Estimated ticket sales for

Friday through Sunday at
international theaters (exclud-
ing the U.S. and Canada),
according to Rentrak:
1. Breakup Buddies,
$38 million.
2. Gone Girl, $24.6 mil-
lion.
3. Bang Bang,
Dearest, $24.2 million.
4. Dracula Untold, $21
million.
5. Annabelle, $20 mil-
lion.
6. The Maze Runner,
$16.5 million.
7. The Equalizer, $13
million.
8. Black & White: The
Dawn of Justice, $10 mil-
lion.
9. Dearest, $6.5 million.
10. The Boxtrolls, $6
million.
Netflix takes aim at
the theatrical window
NEW YORK (AP) Hollywoods
carefully controlled system of movie
rollouts is officially under siege.
Windowing the practice of
opening a movie first in theaters and
then in other stages of home video,
streaming and television release
has been under increasing pressure
as smaller screens fight against the
prominence of the theatrical big
screen. Now, Netflix has fired the
most notable missive across the bow
of windowing, announcing plans to
release a sequel to Crouching Tiger,
Hidden Dragon on the day it hits
Imax theaters next August.
The film, produced by the
Weinstein Co., isnt a studio pro-
duction, so its in many ways only
marginally more significant than the
plethora of independent films regu-
larly released on video-on-demand.
But the announcement constitutes the
biggest move yet by a major digital
outlet to blow up Hollywoods tradi-
tional release pattern.
This is a very unique opportunity
for somebody from the outside com-
ing in to shake up what appears to
be an increasingly antiquated release
strategy, says Rich Greenfield, a
media analyst for BTIG Research.
They had to get into the movie
business to reduce windowing, and I
think this is an important Step 1 for
Netflix.
Exhibitors, in tandem with the
major studios, have long sought to
guard the theatrical window. On
Tuesday, two of the countrys largest
theater chains, Regal Cinemas and
Cinemark, which both included some
Imax theaters, promptly refused to
carry the film.
We will not participate in an
experiment where you can see the
same product on screens varying
from three stories tall to 3 inches
wide on a smartphone, said Regal
spokesman Russ Nunley. We believe
the choice for truly enjoying a mag-
nificent movie is clear.
The same chains also declined to
screen Warner Bros. day-and-date
release Veronica Mars earlier this
year. Warner Bros. instead bought
up the 270 AMC theaters it played in
while it was also released on VOD.
The sequel Crouching Tiger,
Hidden Dragon: The Green Legend
is no sure bet despite the sensation of
its 2000 precursor. Crouching Tiger,
Hidden Dragon won four Oscars,
including best foreign-language film,
and earned $214 million worldwide.
The films international appeal surely
also motivated the ever-expanding
Netflix, which has recently made
inroads into Europe.
But sequels released so long after
the original often struggle to keep
audience interest. And, perhaps most
importantly, The Green Legend
will not be helmed by the acclaimed
director of Crouching Tiger, Ang
Lee. Instead, its directed by Yuen
Wo-Ping, the martial arts choreogra-
pher of The Matrix and both parts
of Kill Bill. Its currently being
shot in New Zealand.
Weinstein Co. co-chairman Harvey
Weinstein said in a statement, The
moviegoing experience is evolving
quickly and profoundly, and Netflix
is unquestionably at the forefront of
that movement.
Netflix has dabbled in releasing
movies before, including distribut-
ing the 2013 documentary about the
Egyptian revolution The Square,
which was nominated for a best-
documentary Academy Award. And
its most celebrated entry into original
television, House of Cards, too, has
had a widespread effect in the movie
business, alerting the industry to a
new avenue for big-name talents such
as Kevin Spacey and David Fincher.
Netflixs entry into the movie busi-
ness comes at a potentially fragile
time for the movie industry, follow-
ing a summer in which the box office
was down 15 percent from last year.
But one of the summers buzziest
successes was a smaller science-fic-
tion thriller, Snowpiercer, released
by the Weinstein Co. boutique label,
Radius. It made nearly $11 million on
VOD, more than double its theatrical
revenue.
California officials
unveil Johnny
Cash Trail
SACRAMENTO, Calif.
(AP) The city of Folsom
has completed the first sec-
tion of the Johnny Cash
Trail that will pay tribute
to the country music icon
and his 1968 album At
Folsom Prison.
City officials unveiled
the first section of the 2.5-
mile trail on Saturday a
pedestrian and bike bridge
designed to echo Folsom
State Prisons east gate
guard towers, according to
the Sacramento Bee.
The trail will traverse
prison property and link to
area trails.
The newspaper reports
that the city is planning
a $3 million fundraising
drive to pay for a 2-acre
park next to the bridge and
art installations along the
trail including a 40-foot
steel statue of Cash.
Nobel Prize in literature:
Oh really? Or finally?
STOCKHOLM (AP) Its soon time for
the highbrow culture event of the year: the
Nobel Prize in literature. But dont worry if
you are left scratching your head when the
winner is announced.
While the Swedish Academy sometimes
picks well-known authors long lauded by crit-
ics, just as frequently it surprises the world
with unknowns plucked from obscurity. The
secretive academy drops no hints on who they
are considering but Permanent Secretary Peter
Englund said this years long-list started with
210 nominees, including 36 first-timers.
The academy is expected to announce the
winner on Thursday, but has not yet con-
firmed the date.
Heres a look at the potential surprises and
the old-time favorites:
POTENTIAL SURPRISES
Even literary critics were taken aback by
announcements of winners such as Austrias
Elfriede Jelinek in 2004, who was largely unknown
outside the German-speaking world at the time,
French writer Jean-Marie Gustave Le Clezio in
2008 and Chinese novelist Mo Yan in 2012.
Part of the reason for this is that the acad-
emy aims to include literature from all the
worlds corners in their considerations, even
those not widely translated into English. They
also seek to award poets, playwrights and
other types of writers. Who could surprise
this year? Check out: Norwegian playwright
Jon Fosse, Belarusian investigative journalist
and author Svetlana Alexievich or Croatian
novelist and essayist Dubravka Ugresic. Other
writers that may have caught the attention of
the academy are Finnish author Sofi Oksanen,
Nigerian writer Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
and Jamaica Kincaid of Antigua, according to
Maria Schottenius, a critic at Swedish daily
Dagens Nyheter.
ESTABLISHED AUTHORS
The academy works off of a constantly
evolving list of candidates, and sometimes a
big name resurfaces again and again. While
some may have been overlooked early in
their careers, widely known authors such as
Britains Doris Lessing, Perus Mario Vargas
Llosa and Canadas Alice Munro eventually
did walk off with the coveted prize. Among
the frequently mentioned candidates who are
still waiting are: Czech author Milan Kundera,
Albanian writer Ismail Kadare, Algerian nov-
elist Assia Djebar and South Korean poet
Ko Un. Swedish literature critics have also
suggested Israeli writers Amos Oz and David
Grossman, as well as Americans Richard Ford
and Philip Roth.
BETTORS FAVORITES
Kenyan writer Ngugi wa Thiongo and
Japanese author Haruki Murakami frequently
top bettors lists ahead of the announcement.
While Thiongo may indeed be a strong can-
didate, Murakamis position in the rankings is
probably more a reflection of the fact that he
is widely read, says Elise Karlsson, a critic at
Swedish daily Svenska Dagbladet. Although
the academy has stepped up efforts to prevent
leaks before the announcement, the winner is
still sometimes among those getting the most
attention by bettors.
On Saturday, Murakami was the favorite
to win at betting firm Ladbrokes, followed by
Djebar, Kadare and Syrian-born poet Adonis,
pen name for Ali Ahmed Said.

DELPHOS Fall has
officially arrived.
Jefferson and Lima Senior
hooked up in a girls soc-
cer clash on a wet, windy
and chilly Saturday morning/
afternoon at St. Johns Annex
and the host Lady Wildcats
grabbed a 4-0 non-league
shutout.
In the first half, we cre-
ated a lot of opportunities
for ourselves and put the
ball in the back of the net
three times. Weve been
focusing on getting back to
Jefferson soccer; the basics,
Jefferson coach Josiah Stober
explained. We stress move-
ment, communication, inten-
sity and doing the little things
right. I really liked what we
did the first half because we
were doing all those things.
Spartan coach Rosie Paris
wasnt nearly as pleased with
her teams effort.
Its disappointing how
we played today; we simply
didnt come ready to play
soccer, she added. Were
getting into the time of the
season where Im finding out
who still wants to play; were
battling commitment issues
we have 25 on the roster
and only 16 were here today
for various reasons, not just
injuries; some simply decid-
ed not to come because of
other reasons. Im trying to
change the culture here and
thats a difficult thing.
The hosts (8-4-2) had
seven shots on-goal and the
Lady Spartans (4-6-4) also
registered seven.
Jefferson junior Jessica Pimpas
had five saves and Limas Essence
Cowan had three.
Jefferson put three scores
on the board in the first 40
minutes.

Lady Lancers hold off Rockets in soccer
BY JOHN PARENT
MIDDLE POINT - A stiff wind
played a big factor in Saturdays Western
Ohio Soccer League match between
host Lincolnview and the Anna Lady
Rockets.
The Lady Lancers used a pair of first-
half goals to build a lead, then hung on
for a 2-1 win.
We wanted the wind behind us to
get a lead, Lancer head coach Mark
McCleery stated following the match.
We over-packed the offense in the first
half, then in the second half we padded
the defense.
The Lancers didnt take long to
strike, as senior Hannah McCleery
worked a give-and-go with classmate
Julia Thatcher. The deft passing left
McCleery with an opening from 15
yards in front of the net and she beat the
Anna keeper to the lower left corner to
put Lincolnview up 1-0 just 1:12 into
the contest.
The Lancers added a second score at
the 9:19 mark. Speedy forward Autumn
Proctor found herself 1-on-1 with the
keeper and won that battle to the left
side of the net, giving Lincolnview some
breathing room.
Theyd need it.
Before the half came to a close,
Anna (5-9) struck back. Playing
into the wind, the Rockets mount-
ed a flurry of offensive activity
late in the half. With three min-
utes to play, a Rocket shot found its
way to the keeper, Maddie Gorman,
but Gorman couldnt control the ball
cleanly. Lancer senior Claire Clay was
there to clean up the rebound, however,
and keep the Rockets off the board.
Less than a minute later, Gorman
was tested again, this time by Nichole
Blackfords 14-yarder. Gorman came
up with the stop on that attempt but
wouldnt be as fortunate on the next
Anna try.
With 1:51 remaining in the half,
Annas Raquel Bollheimer streaked up
the right side and fired a shot past
Gormans dive, cutting the Lancer lead
to 2-1.
In the second half, with the wind
now favoring the Rockets, Coach
McCleery made a lineup change, put-
ting the more experienced Thatcher in
goal, replacing Gorman, who had four
saves against six Anna shots-on-goal
in the first half.
Whichever way the coin toss went,
(Thatcher) was going to be in goal when
the wind was in our face and shed
be on the field (as a midfielder) when
the wind was at our back, McCleery
explained. That way, wed get an
offensive boost and (Anna) probably
wouldnt have as many shots when
the wind was in their face.
The move paid dividends, as the
second half brought consistent pressure
from the Rocket offense. Thatcher han-
dled the ball frequently, either through
coming up to intercept an Anna pass, or
collecting a save.
The Rockets fired nine second-half
shots, seven of which were on goal.
Thatcher and the Lancer defense, how-
ever, made the 1-goal lead stand up and
improved to 6-7 overall this year.
With the tournament drew taking
place Sunday, Coach McCleery knows
how important it is to be playing well at
this time of the year.
Its big. Our upperclassmen are
going to go hard (everyday); its getting
those freshmen (to follow), McCleery
added. Theyve come a long way;
theyve really improved and theyre get-
ting the hang of how I want them to play.
Its been big for us.

Pioneers score 3 in 2nd half to down Lancer boys
By JIM METCALFE
jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com
LIMA Lima Temple
Christian spotted Lincolnview
a goal in the first half on
a miserable Saturday after-
noon, then knocked home
three goals in the second for
a 3-1 Western Ohio Soccer
League boys soccer triumph.
Shots were about even as
the Pioneers (5-7-1) outshot
the Lancers (0-12-1) 10-9.
We had a hard time trying
to score the second half. We
couldnt quite make the con-
nections to get good shots;
yes, it was tough weather-
wise but once the adrenaline
gets going, the kids dont
feel it, Lincolnview coach
Britt Munson noted. We had
two point-blank shots that
we couldnt score on that we
should have; its a different
game if we do. Thats kind
of been the theme for us this
season; close but not finish-
ing on great opportunities.
We have focused so much
on shoring up our defense
we had a couple of break-
downs today the
last couple of weeks
that our offense has
suffered because of it.
Honestly, though, this
was the best Ive seen
us play this year overall.
Pioneer coach B.J.
McPheronfelt his teams
depth was crucial.
I felt we had more depth
and fresher legs than they did.
We also started to find feet
with our passes the second
half, instead of just kicking
it and hoping it was to some-
one, he added. We were
celebrating our Homecoming
today and it was nice to get a
win today.
Shots were especially tough
to come by in the first half.
The Lancers nearly scored
early as senior Jacob Pollack
had point-blank effort inside
the 6-yard box with an
open goal but his effort
was off-target.
Seni or Tyl er
Wannemacher also had a
great chance at the 6-min-
ute mark as he fired from the
doorstep of the right post but
a Pioneer defender deflected
it out of harms way.
The Lancers finally broke
through at 1:20 of the first
half. Wannemacher on
a free kick from the right
wing fed senior Dalton
Schmersal to the middle for
an 8-yarder past goalkeeper
D.J. Clay (6 saves).
The shots were more plen-
tiful the second half but the
Lancers drew blanks, thanks
to Clays five saves (6 shots).
The Pioneers tied it at 1-1
with 35:24 remaining. Cameron
Worsham who was a pain
to the Lancers was tackled
in the box for a penalty kick
and Jeremy Lyu went low and
hard to the left side past junior
Chandler Adams (4 saves).
The Pioneers, using a
cross wind to their advan-
tage, kept attacking and
broke through again at 24:06.
Christian Engle used a great
individual effort on the left
wing inside the 18 juking
past two defenders and
wrong-footed Adams to the
left side for a 2-1 edge.
Grove netters shoot down Lady Rockets
By DAVE BONNINSEGNA
DHI Media Correspondent
COLUMBUS GROVE The
Columbus Grove Lady Bulldogs vol-
leyball team already has a stronghold on
the Northwest Conference.
On Saturday, they were trying
to keep pace in the Putnam County
League as the Pandora-Gilboa Lady
Rockets visited The Dog Pound.
The home team succumbed to the
Rockets in the first set 25-22 but came
back to sweep the next three 25-19,
25-21, 25-11 to gain the victory.
Briana Glass had 22 assists, five
aces and nine digs in the contest, while
Kristen Wynn collected 10 kills and 15
blocks. Hope Schroeder added 15 digs
and nine digs, Carlee McCluer nine
kills and four aces, Sydney McCluer 16
digs and Jade Clement 13 assists in the
victory.
Kayla Rieman led the Lady Rockets
with 20 assists, 15 digs and nine kills,
along with Makayla Diller (8 kills, 6
assists), Serena Maag (12 blocks), Alexa
Maag (11 blocks) amd Brittany Hovest
(10 kills, 10 blocks).
The first set was a see-saw battle
from the start with neither team able to
gain full control. The Rockets
took a 10-9 lead on a Grove
hitting error and never relin-
quished the lead. Grove got back
to within one at 18-17 on a
Sydney McCluer kill but a pair
of Katelyn Conine aces gave the visi-
tors a 24-19 lead before finishing off the
final point of the set.
The Bulldogs took early control of set
two, getting seven of the first nine points
with Schroeder and Carlee McCluer pro-
viding the points. However, P-G would
battle its way back as Shana Hovest
delivered back-to-back aces to make it
an 8-6 contest. The set would stay within
three for most of the way. Glass gave
the home team a 23-19 advantage with
an ace before Wynn finished off set two
with a spike to the Rockets side of the
net to even the sets at one apiece.
Set number three would be the clos-
est of the four with the teams tying
on eight different occasions and never
more than a 3-point lead on either side.
The Rockets went up 19-16 on an Alexa
Maag kill but the home team went on a
4-0 run; after trading kills on each side,
the set was tied at 21-21. Grove rattled
off the final four points of the set with
the help of three aces by Glass to give
the Dogs a 25-21 win and a 2-1 advan-
tage in sets.
The home team set the tone early
for the final set, taking a 10-2 lead and
cruising to a 25-11 win. Carlee McCluer
nailed consecutive aces, Schroeder made
it 24-11, then Mikayla Roman finished it
off with a spike to the P-G side of the net
to finish off the contest.
The Lady Bulldogs won the junior
varsity match 25-19, 25-11.
The Bulldogs face Kalida today.
See LANCERS, page 7
(Continued from page 6)
After only one shot on-goal by each team in the first
13-plus minutes a 15-yarder by Jefferson sophomore
Arianna Knebel that was denied by Cowan at 35:11 and the
Spartans only try at 34:00 by Kienna Brown that Pimpas
deflected the hosts went up 1-0 at 26:06 . Senior Kylee
Haehns switch thru ball from midfield found Knebel on the
right side. She did the rest, dribbling along the right post;
when Cowan came off her line, Knebel slid the ball under her
and found the left side from 15 yards.
The next Red and White shot found its mark. At 22:19,
junior Logan Hamilton crossed from the right side to Haehn
on the left post for a good run; she slotted the 14-yarder to the
right side for a 2-nil scoreboard.
At 3:20, the lead reached 3-0. From deep on the left side,
Haehn led Knebel down the middle, where she simply beat the
defense to the orb. She veered to the right and from 12 yards
on the wing, slipped a lower ball to the left side.
That score stood for most of the second half as the midfield
became the area of most contention.
Pimpas stopped four of six shots on goal with a defender
knocking down one other clear effort and another just off-
target.
The Wildcate only had two scoring tries the second half,
with Cowan denying Knebel from 15 yards at 39:45.
The hosts second try was more successful. With 3:40
remaining, freshman Kendall Marquiss stole the ball in Lima
space and made a nice individual effort to put a 14-yarder
from the right post into the left side of the net.
We were playing girls in other spots than theyre used to
the second half, Stober added. We want to get them that
experience just in case and also to keep players fresh. Its a
long season and we want to keep girls healthy. I was pleased
with our effort from start to finish today.
Jefferson visits Allen East 5 p.m. today, while Lima Senior
visits Toledo Whitmer Thursday.

Crestview beats St. Johns in 4 sets
By LARRY HEIING
DHI Correspondent
DELPHOS The final score of the Crestview vol-
leyball match vs. St. Johns Saturday at Robert A. Arnzen
Gymnasium looks like a total domination by the Knights on
paper. The reality is that the match was a battle of kills and
digs by both squads and the Knights headed back home with
a 4-set victory: 25-16, 23-25, 25-18, 25-9.
Pacing the Lady Blue Jays were Maddie Buettner (9 kills,
12 blocks, 9 digs), Jessica Geise (7 kills, 8 block, 21 digs),
Olivia Kahny (5 kills, 1 ace, 10 digs), Maddie Pohlman
(5 kills, 1 ace), Bekah Fisher (3 kills, 6 blocks), Hayley
Jettinghoff (3 kills), Maya Gerker (18 assists), Colleen
Schulte (16 assists) and Kestley Hulihan (15 digs).
Tough match against a very good Crestview team, Lady
Blue Jay coach Carolyn Dammeyer noted. We played
extremely well at times but had too many missed serves and
lack of communication the third and fourth game. Crestview
beat us by playing better defense. I am seeing a lot of posi-
tives in my players going into tournament time soon.
With the victory, the Knights are now 18-2.
Leading the Knights were: Tianna Rager (22/22 serving,
2 aces; 17 digs), Mackenzie Riggenbach (19/19 serving,
2 aces; 15 assists), Brady Guest (11/11 serving, 1 ace; 13
assists), Claire Zaleski (7 kills; 11 digs), Courtney Trigg (17
kills), Megan Hartman (9 kills) and Haley Helm (14 digs).
The two teams began the contest fighting to a 7-7 tie as
St. Johns got kills from four different players (Pohlman,
Buettner, Kahny and Geise) with Zaleski and Hartman
getting Crestview kills. The Knights then outscored the
Blue Jays 8-3 with an ace by Guest and kills by Trigg and
Hartman. Buettner notched three touches on a back-and-
forth volley but Crestview got the hard-earned point when
a return by St. Johns landed in the net. St. Johns scored
on kills by Kahny and Geise and a combo block by Geise/
Hayley Jettinghoff. Crestview countered with a quick tip by
Riggenbach and kills by Hartman and Guest to win the first
set by nine.
After Crestview jumped out 2-0 early in the second set,
St. Johns stormed back with five straight points as Buettner
had two kills and a block, along with a Pohlman ace. Trigg
played well with her court smarts by placing a gentle tip in
the center of the defense to stop the run. Both sides traded
slams: Trigg and Jettinghoff. St. Johns blew it open as
Gerker made a great play at the net to save the volley to spark
a 9-2 run. After a Crestview timeout, the hosts matched their
biggest lead of the set 19-12 as Buettner and Geise
got slams. The Knights began a furious comeback with a
Hartman block, Zaleski kill and an ace by Rager. Crestview
finally tied it at 21 as Guest got the assist on a kill by Trigg,
followed by a block that fell in for the point. But two blocks
by Geise and Buettner preserved the slim set victory.
The third set was much of the same as the teams were
evenly-matched at 13. Crestview took the lead for good on
a set by Guest for the Helm kill. Helm recorded another kill
(assist by Riggenbach) and the Knights reached set point. A
Geise kill and an ace by Kahny pulled the Jays within 24-18
before their serve landed out of bounds to end the set.
The final set was unlike the initial three as Zaleski was
perfect on five straight serves to open a 5-point lead. A
combo block from Buettner/Rebekah Fischer stopped the
Crestview streak. Undaunted, the Knights continued to roll
with a pair of aces by Riggenbach and a Trigg kill (assist
by Guest). Blue Jay kills by Buettner, Jettinghoff and
Geise werent enough as the Knights led 13-5. The Knights
wrapped up the match as Trigg got three more slams and
Zaleski had a pair of aces.
Crestviews junior varsity also won 25-20, 25-16, making
them 11-6 overall.
Both teams return to the court 5:30 p.m. Tuesday: St.
Johns (7-11) hosts New Bremen (MAC) and the Knights
will travel to Columbus Grove (NWC).

The Lancers struggled
to string together a scoring
sequence and LTC added
a third second-half goal at
15:01. With Lyus thru ball
out of the middle, he found
Worsham on the left wing.
The freshman got a defender
on his hip and went right side
from 11 yards for a 3-1 edge.
Lincolnviews best efforts
to retaliate came at 3:28,
when Wannemacher had a
tough angle from the left
side and his 6-yarder was
denied by Clay; and at 1:00,
when junior Austin Leeths
20-yarder along the right
post was deflected by a
defender and Clay gobbled
it up.

When it comes to the number of retirement

not necessarily true. In fact, if you hold multiple
accounts with various brokers, it can be difcult to
keep track of your investments and to see if youre
properly diversied.* At the very least, multiple
accounts usually mean multiple fees.
Bringing your accounts to Edward Jones could
help solve all that. Plus, one statement can make it
easier to see if youre moving toward your goals.

DEAR ABBY: I am a male
in the training department at my
office. A lot of times, because
the people I train are new hires,
there are dress code violations
from people who appear to
be testing the limits. Most of
the violations involve women
who wear clothing thats too
revealing, in spite of the fact
they receive a document at
the start of training explaining
what is and is not appropriate
attire.
I feel uncomfortable
addressing dress code issues
with the opposite sex. I have
always asked a female in the
department to do it for me. My
problem is, my manager has
told me I need to be able to deal
with issues like this if I want to
move forward in my career.
My question to you and your
readers is, as a woman, would
you feel more uncomfortable
with a male boss addressing a
too much cleavage or skirt
too short issue than you would
with another female? And
have you any suggestions for
wording in these situations? --
DRESSED FOR SUCCESS
IN VIRGINIA
DEAR DRESSED FOR
SUCCESS: Speaking for
myself, I think Id prefer to
hear that message from another
woman -- however, MY
preference is beside the point.
You have a job to do, and that
is to enforce the rules of your
company. So when you tell a
female employee that shes not
complying with the dress code,
use the wording in the employee
handbook or the document the
person received when she was
hired. (Hopefully, the wording
is specific.)
DEAR ABBY: I have a
question about where and when
to have a retirement party. I
know its inappropriate for
families to host a baby shower,
but is that true of a retirement
party?
My husband has worked for
a nonprofit for 14 years and
will retire in a few months.
There isnt an appropriate site
for a party at his work. I have
suggested an open house at
our home a couple of weeks
after his retirement date. My
daughter thinks her house
would be better because we are
not supposed to have it.
My son-in-law dislikes
entertaining at home, so I know
it would be stressful for them.
If we have it at our house, we
can encourage friends and co-
workers to come over again
and stay in touch. I love to
entertain and would happily
prepare the food and decorate.
Am I on the right track, Abby?
-- HAPPY THAT HUBBYS
RETIRING
DEAR HAPPY: Youre
absolutely on the right track.
No rule of etiquette forbids you
from hosting the party for your
husband if you wish.
According to Emily Post:
A retirement party may ... be
given by family and friends
instead of -- or in addition to --
a company party. Its generally
a good idea to invite a few of
the retirees close work mates.
Because they share a work
history with the retiree, theyll
be able to speak of specific
accomplishments in any
speeches and toasts.

Getting a leg up on
question about statues
Ask Mr. Know It All
By Gary Clothier
Q: Many times
during my life -- which
has been long -- I have
heard the position of
a horses legs in an
equestrian statue of
a fallen solder tells
how he died. Is there
any truth to this?
-- C.G., Bethesda,
Maryland
A: The
quick answer is
no. According
to the urban
legend, if
the horse is
rearing, the
rider died in
battle; one leg
up means the
rider was wounded
in battle or died of
battle wounds; and
if all four hooves are
on the ground, the
rider died outside
battle. Im told this
was created to be the
guide for monuments
at Gettysburg
N a t i o n a l
Military Park,
in Gettysburg,
Pennsylvania,
but there
are several
exceptions to
the rule.
LETS LEARN
ENGLISH
In the U.K., they
say plonk, while in
America, its poor-
quality wine.
Kids in the U.K.
are in Girl Guides,
while in America,
theyre in Girl
Scouts.
Q: Im watch-
ing reruns of
E m e r g e n c y !
When the station is
called, particulars of
the emergency are
given and the radio
caller says KMG-
365 when he is
finished. Its never
been explained as far
as I know. What is
KMG-365? -- J.N.L.,
Saratoga, Flordia
A: KMG-365
is the Federal
Co mmu n i c a t i o n s
Commission station
license number for the
base radio. It is similar
to call letters used by
radio and TV stations,
as well as HAM
operators, which must
be announced as per
FCC regulations. The
call sign is real, and
it is used by the Los
Angeles County Fire
Department.

DID YOU KNOW?
Before Danny DeVito
became an actor,
he was a qualified
hairdresser.
Q; Whatever hap-
pened to Ronnie
Burns, the son of
George Burns and
Gracie Allen? Didnt
they have a daughter,
too? -- B.N.L.,
Palmdale, California
A: Ronald
R o n n i e
Jon Burns
(1935-2007)
was born in
Ev a n s t o n ,
Illinois, and
a d o p t e d
by George
and Gracie
when he
was 2 months old.
When he was 17, he
joined his parents on
the The Burns &
Allen Show from
1950 to 1958. After
Gracie Allen retired,
Ronnie appeared on
The George Burns
Show with
his father. He
dabbled in a
few projects
before retiring
from the
industry. He
got into real
estate, and in
later years, he
raised horses.
Sandra Jean
Burns (1934-2010)
worked briefly with
her adoptive parents
before deciding to
leave acting and raise
a family. She was
twice married and had
four children.
Q: In a fashion
magazine, there was
an individual wearing
thick-soled shoes; the
caption called them
brothel creepers.
Why that name?
-- S.G., Beaverton,
Oregon
A: The shoes were
inspired by the crepe
rubber-soled desert
boots worn by North
African soldiers in
World War II. Because
of the intense heat
of the sand, thicker
soles helped protect
their feet. The name
brothel creepers
does not make sense
to me. Sources say
they were so named
because of the soldiers
who found themselves
in unsavory parts of a
city. If thats the case,
Im sure glad they
were not wearing
Oxfords. Creepers
were popular in the
1950s and are now
making a comeback
with various
subcultures.

at home will be less expensive,
much more intimate and greatly
appreciated by your guests.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
22) -- Be extra vigilant with
your house, car and other
belongings. If you are too

off the stove, with dangerous
results.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov.

pleasantly surprised by the
cooperation you get from
people who can back your

while. Favorable outcomes are
likely if you mix business and

19) -- Investments will pay off.
Scout around for real estate
ventures or make purchases
that will grow in value. A
lot will be learned from an

20) -- Children will fgure
prominently in your plans.
This is a great time to initiate
personal changes. A makeover,
ftness program or exercise

whats expected in return.

20) -- Keep a balance between

multitude of tasks with speed

There were hundreds of almanacs, each
one specific to a region. Most printers
would publish Bibles and an almanac.
The books were carried around and sold
by peddlers. Two almanacs have sur-
vived over the years: The Old Farmers
Almanac and The Farmers Almanac. The
Old Farmers Almanac, which has a yel-
low cover and the year printed in red,
was first published in 1792 in Dublin,
New Hampshire. It is the oldest con-
tinuous publication in North America.
The cover has been basically unchanged
since 1850 and features pictures of the
periodicals founder, Robert B. Thomas,
and of Benjamin Franklin. The two men
did not work together, nor did they even
live in the same time period, but both are
important in the almanac world. Current
editor (and the first female editor) Janice
Stillman said The Old Farmers Almanacs
mission is to be useful with a pleasant
degree of humor, which is in keeping
with Thomas mission. It is a combination
of data, including moon phases, eclipses,
weather forecasts and entertaining arti-
cles, and always has been.
A true almanac is a calendar of the
heavens. Astronomy defines every day
by the number of minutes, minutes in an
hour, et cetera. Months define seasons
and, therefore, the weather. There is a pat-
tern. This speaks to the kind of content we
embrace, Stillman explained.
The Old Farmers Almanac includes
forecasts for 16 regions of the continen-
tal United States. For the first time, the
2014-15 publication has included fore-
casts for Alaska and Hawaii. It also has
a Canadian edition for five regions (two
more Canadian regions are included on
the website).
Farmers Almanac has been published
every year since 1818 in Lewiston, Maine.
Its cover is a trademark orange and green.
Farmers Almanac goes beyond todays
experts and enlightens readers with gen-
erations of perception, experience and
common sense. It, too, includes long-
range weather predictions for the United
States and Canada. Managing Editor
Sondra Duncan related Farmers Almanac
is different from the competition because
it focuses on natural living and natural
remedies; its articles inform readers how
to live organically.
Duncan said Farmers Almanac is
always looking for what is appealing in
this day and age.
The key is our almanac goes out on a
limb and predicts for the seasons ahead,
not just for farmers, but for everyone,
such as the people who grow tomatoes
on their balconies. There is a nostalgic as
well as a trendy appeal to the almanac,
Duncan said.
Most people turn to almanacs for their
long-range weather forecasts. Amazingly,
both boast an accuracy rate of at least 80
percent.
We were pleased with last winters
prediction, Duncan declared. Our accu-
racy is 80-85 percent.
Last year, our accuracy rate was 80.6
percent, Stillman countered. Our dif-
ference was 1.78 degrees. We were within
one day of predicting the Super Bowl
storm.
Farmers Almanac utilizes a prediction
formula that dates back to 1818 and is
a tightly-guarded secret. Duncan hinted
that sunspot activity and the alignment of
the planets are utilized in contriving the
forecast.
Stillman provided the history of The
Old Farmers Almanacs forecasts. Robert
B. Turner used a telescope or other primi-
tive equipment. He based his forecasts on
sunspots, which were first discovered by
Galileo.
We still use this formula, she
described. It is a major distinction for
The Old Farmers Almanac.
The Old Farmers Almanac also uses
the latest satellite data, as it has for sever-
al decades. It gathers evidence from three
methodologies: solar science, climatology
and meteorology. Stillman affirmed that
some folks swear by quirky methodology
to predict the weather: wooly worms, pig
spleens, persimmons and goose breast-
bones are among the unconventional tech-
niques utilized. Folklore has it that if
a wooly worm has wide black stripes,
winter will be severe; if the stripes are
wide and brown, look for a mild winter.
Some swear the size of a pigs spleen
will predict the next six months weather.
Others cut open a persimmon to look at
the shape of the kernels; if the kernel is in
the shape of a spoon, expect a heavy, wet
snow. If the kernel is fork-shaped, look
for powdery, dry snow. A knife-shaped
kernel means cutting winds will prevail.
Lastly, a blue, black, or purple dried
goose breastbone indicates a cold winter,
while a white bone suggests a mild win-
ter. Plan on a cold spring if the tips of the
bone turn purple.
And what about the almanacs predic-
tions for the upcoming winter?
Look for days of shivery and shov-
elry! Duncan announced, relating
Farmers Almanacs forecast. There will
be below normal temperatures for most of
the nation and stinging cold conditions.
Duncan added that our areas snowfall
would be normal.
Stillman divulged The Old Farmers
Almanacs prediction for our neck of the
woods. I can sum it up with one word-
REFRIGER- NATION. The vast part of
the U.S. will be colder than normal but
you will be in the freezer! she said,
apologetically. In addition to colder-than-
normal temperatures, our region will have
more snowfall. There will be a snowstorm
early in January.
Next week: Does anyone take heed in
almanacs forecasts?
Trivia
Answers to Fridays questions:
At the time, in 1877, the lowly cabin was meant to evoke thoughts of an all-Amer-
ican hero Abraham Lincoln and thus increase sales. Grocer P.J. Towle, inventor
of the syrup, had rejected the idea of naming his creation Abraham Lincoln syrup but
the log cabin idea worked and determined the shape for the syrups tin container until
World War II, when tin was needed for the war effort.
The Maxwell House coffee phrase good to the last drop belongs to President
Theodore Roosevelt, who, while visiting Andrew Jacksons home, the Hermitage, in
Nashville, Tennessee, drank a cup of Maxwell House coffee and was offered a refill. He

Monty Pearson was the outstanding figure of the
second ball game of the World Series Thursday. The
pitching of the big right-hander gave the Yankees
their second consecutive win in their contest with the
Cincinnati Reds. He pitched no-hit, no-run ball for
seven innings and allowed only two hits in a shut-out,
4 to 0.
The Ohio Pipe Line Company recently purchased a
series of 28 oil wells in Jennings Township, Van Wert
County, which have been non-producing for several
years. The wells were drilled in 1900 during the oil
boom in that territory. The work has been started on
the T. M. Berry and Allen Wright farms. The wells on
the farms of Howard Richards, Frank Simindinger and
John Elias will also be closed.

Americans worry can govt protect us?
By JILL COLVIN and
JENNIFER AGIESTA
Associated Press
WASHINGTON
Americans lack confidence in
the governments ability to pro-
tect their personal safety and
economic security, a sign that
their widespread unease about
the state of the nation extends
far beyond politics, according
to the latest Associated Press-
GfK poll.
With Election Day about
a month away, more than
half those in the survey said
Washington can do little to
effectively lessen threats such
as climate change, mass shoot-
ings, racial tensions, economic
uncertainty and an unstable job
market.
I think what weve got
going on here in America is
the perfect storm of not good
things, said Joe Teasdale,
59, who lives in southwest
Wisconsin and works as an
assistant engineer at a casino.
For many of those ques-
tioned in the poll, conducted
before doctors in Texas diag-
nosed a Liberian man with the
Ebola virus, the concern starts
with the economy.
The poll found that 9 in 10
of those most likely to vote
in the Nov. 4 election call the
economy an extremely or very
important issue. Teasdale is
among those who say the slow
recovery from the recession is a
top concern.
Despite improvements
nationally, business is far from
booming in his state, Teasdale
said. Hes been supplementing
his stagnant salary by renovat-
ing and renting out duplexes
and has little faith the situation
will improve soon. He wants
government to get out of the
way of business.
If youre putting so much
restriction on them where
it isnt practical for them to
expand or grow, why should
they? Teasdale asked.
Those surveyed also pointed
to events such as the protests in
Ferguson, Missouri, that fol-
lowed the fatal police shooting
an unarmed black 18-year-old
and the beheading of a woman
in an Oklahoma food process-
ing plant, apparently at the
hand of a suspended co-worker.
This is the first time Ive
felt insecure in my own coun-
try, said Jan Thomas, 75,
of Stevensville, Montana.
Especially after the beheading
in Oklahoma. Thats scary.
The poll found that
Democrats tend to express
more faith in the governments
ability to protect them than do
Republicans. Yet even among
Democrats, just 27 percent are
confident the government can
keep them safe from terrorist
attacks. Fewer than 1 in 5 say
so on each of the other issues,
including climate change.
Theres too many people
who still dont believe that
its happening, bemoaned
Felicia Duncan, 53, who lives
in Sharonville, Ohio, a suburb
of Cincinnati, and works as an
office manager at a mechanical
contracting company.
Urbanites tend to be more
confident the government will
keep them safe from terror-
ist threats than do people liv-
ing in suburbs and rural areas.
Younger Americans are more
confident than older people that
the government can minimize
the threat of mass shootings.
When it comes to quelling
racial tensions, Hispanics are
more confident than are blacks
and whites.
Thirteen years after the
Sept. 11 attacks, and as the
Obama administration con-
ducts airstrikes against Islamic
State militants in Syria and
Iraq, only 1 in 5 in the poll say
they are extremely or very con-
fident the government can keep
them safe from another terrorist
attack. Four in 10 express mod-
erate confidence.
While there has not been a
large-scale terrorist attack on
U.S. soil since 9/11, roughly
one-third of Americans say
they are not too confident or
not confident at all in the gov-
ernments ability to prevent
another.
Bill Denison, 85, who lives
in Bradenton, Florida, is among
the minority who thinks the
government is doing a good job
keeping citizens safe, at least
when it comes to preventing
domestic attacks.
