GROVER HILL An FAA report has
confirmed that three people were killed
in the crash of a small plane Thursday
night around 6 p.m. near the intersection
of Paulding County Roads 60 and 137,
northwest of Grover Hill.
The pilot and two passengers are listed
as dead. The plane, a Cirrus R22, is registered in Delaware and began its trip in
Iowa headed for Findlay. This leg of the
trip was from Fort Wayne International
Airport and was headed for Toledo. Reportedly, Fort Wayne had the plane on radar and lost sight of it. Toledo lost contact
with the plane at 5,000 feet.

Witnesses reported seeing flames before the aircraft hit the ground.No other
structures or persons were damaged in
the impact.
Paulding County Sheriff Jason Landers issued a press release at 2:25 a.m.
Friday. Shortly before 6 p.m., 911 calls
were received about a possible explosion
near Road 60 and Road 137 located in
Latty Township. First responders located
a crash involving a small aircraft in an
open field at the above intersection.
At this time, due to the level of destruction at the scene, we are investigating
this as a fatal airplane crash. Investigators
with the Federal Aviation Administration

(FAA), National Transportation Safety
Board (NTSB), Paulding County Coroners Office, Grover Hill Fire Department
and a Aviation Crash Investigation team
within the Buckeye State Sheriffs Association are actively working the scene.
Numerous fire departments and EMS
squads were on scene Thursday night, as
well as the Paulding County Sheriffs Office, the American Red Cross, Paulding
County EMA and state troopers. Later,
the local Red Cross chapter was called to
assist as emergency responders worked A Butler County Sheriffs Office helicopter flies

New outreach program serves

military families
by StePHaNIe GroveS
DHI Media Staff Writer
sgroves@delphosherald.com
LIMA - Veterans are all around us. They
are family members, neighbors and friends
who have diverse experiences in the Armed
Forces and share a willingness to serve our
country through military service.
The Partnership for Violence Free Families
(PVFF) in Lima is offering a free-of-charge
community outreach program called Family
of Heroes geared toward assisting West Central Ohio military family members to learn the
essential skills to manage the challenges they
may face when helping a veteran returning
home to adjust to post-deployment life.
Prevention Program Facilitator Tim Ulrick,
who is an Army veteran, said the program is
a six session avatar-based workshop in a supportive group setting and each session runs for
one hour. Ulrick is teaming up with facilitator
Katie Murphy, LISW who is the daughter of an
Air Force veteran.
Family of Heroes is an online role-playing
training game designed to help families of re-
turning veterans learn essential skills to manage common challenges in adjusting to postdeployment life and connect more veterans
experiencing post-deployment stress with VA
services.
In the game, players enter a virtual environment and engage in three conversations with
emotionally responsive avatars that exhibit
signs of PTSD, TBI, depression, and thoughts
of suicide. The avatars act and respond like
real veterans experiencing post-deployment
stress, thereby providing users with hands-on
practice within a realistic and risk-free learning environment.

Light, heat and the

war on cleaning
Dear Readers: Here is a test
of your HELOISE HINT IQ:
Which cleaning product can
be affected by heat, light and
time?
Hints
A) Hydrogen peroxide
from
B) Ammonia
Heloise
C) Bleach Do you know?
The correct answer is A and
B. Both chemicals lose much
of the cleaning strength as well
as the ability to kill germs after
time, especially if exposed to light and heat. So when using
them, remember to make up enough to use in only a day or
so. Heloise
PET PAL
Dear Readers: Annie in San Antonio sent in a photo of her
cat, Semira, curled up on the bed and peering up at the camera with her big, green eyes. She is a crossbreed of a domestic
cat and a serval (large-eared African cat), and has a beautiful,
unique pattern to her coat. To see the photo, visit my website,
www.Heloise.com, and click on Pets. Heloise
SAFETY HINT
Dear Heloise: For your readers, especially those who live
alone, keep this in mind: When new service people come to my
house, I go through afterward and double-check window locks
and entry doors. You never know when someone might have
opened a window or gone in and out a door. Lives Alone in
Columbus, Ohio
Most repair people are honest, but its always a good idea to
check doors and windows regardless. Heloise
NEW KITTEN
Dear Heloise: Regarding your recent column printed in the
San Angelo (Texas) Standard-Times about litter-box training a
kitten, here is an additional hint: Keep the kitten confined to a
small area for a few days to let it get accustomed to its new family and surroundings. Gradually increase its surroundings so it
can start exploring new territory. Leave the added rooms open
to the kitten when it begins exploring adjoining rooms. This
way, it can explore at its own pace and have its original safe
place to return to. Turning a tiny kitten loose in a new house is
a scary thing for it. Even a small house will appear huge to a
tiny kitten. A Cat Lover, via email
Meow! Good advice, and say Hi to my friends in San Angelo. I always have a lovely time when I visit for a speech.
Hugs, Heloise
SLIDING CHAIR
Dear Heloise: I have a large lounge chair that would not stay
put. I remembered your hint
about using a piece of mesh
liner. I cut pieces to fit the bottom of the chair legs and used
sticky tape to attach them. No
more sliding around. Ron
B., San Bernardino, Calif.
STAYING SAFE
Dear Heloise: When ironing, I set out my cookie cooling
rack. When done or between
garments, I put the iron on it as
a precaution. We had a small
mishap when I forgot to turn Annie in San Antonio
off the iron and unplug it. Nev- sent in this photo of her

Blonde sees red in

battle over hair color
DEAR ABBY: Im 17 and
my mom wont let me dye my
hair! Earlier this year she finally let me color it red, which
I have wanted for years. I went
blond for my sisters wedding,
but Im naturally blond and I
dont like it because its boring.
A ton of people compliment me
on my hair, but I dont care what
people think, I just want to be
me and not anyone else.
So, my mom is being too
controlling. She says I have to
stay blond until I can pay for it
myself, and I dont have a job.
My parents are very strict and
I would never be allowed to
get a tattoo, but I want my red
hair back. How do I go about
convincing her that no matter how much people love the
blond, I dont like it and I want
a change? NATURAL
BLONDE IN PENNSYLVANIA
DEAR
NATURAL
BLONDE: When a person
changes hair color more than
twice in one year, it can seriously damage the hair. Also,
red is the hardest color to keep
up because it tends to oxidize and turn brassy. (I am
speaking from experience.) It
can also be expensive. If you
want to go red once youre
working and can afford it, you
can make your own decision.
But in the meantime, listen to
your mother shes looking
out for your interests.

DEAR ABBY: I am a woman in my 20s and finishing up
two degrees at university. I am
an only child, and my mother
is one of the youngest among
10 siblings, so I have many
cousins.
I have always been the
good one, the one who is
responsible, not addicted to
drugs and who has a promising future. Because of this,
my childless aunts and uncles and those with irresponsible children have looked
to me for moral support and
guidance during their golden
years. Many of them are now
in their 60s.
Abby, I already have to
take care of my parents as
they grow older. This stress
as an only child and the responsible cousin weighs
heavily on me. What would
Dear
abby
with
Jeanne
Phillips
you advise? THE GOOD
ONE
DEAR GOOD ONE: Recognize what your limitations
are and pace yourself accordingly. As you start your professional life and, eventually,
your own family, its important that you not allow yourself to be spread so thin you
make yourself sick. Your first
responsibility must be to yourself, your immediate family
and your parents. If looking
out for your aunts and uncles
becomes more time- and energy-consuming than you can
handle, consider enlisting the
help of a social worker.
** ** **
DEAR ABBY: During
meals, my girlfriend uses her
fingers to push the food on her
plate onto her fork. She does it
not only when were at home
just the two of us but also
out in public at restaurants.
This cant be proper manners,
can it? How can I get her to
stop without upsetting her? Or
am I better off not bringing up
the subject? UNCERTAIN
IN SAN FRANCISCO
DEAR
UNCERTAIN:
What your girlfriend is doing
is considered poor table manners. Because shes having
trouble maneuvering her food
onto her fork, suggest to her
that she should do what some
Europeans do push it onto
the fork using the blade of her
knife.

InformatIon submItted
November is National Hospice and
Home Care Month, but most of us would
never know it.
Home care and hospice services continue to be shrouded in mystery and are
frequently misunderstood, despite it
touching hundreds of area families, and
despite the many volunteers who devote
hours of their precious time to it.
For the aged, disabled or ill, remaining in the homes they know and love can
become increasingly difficult unless they
can obtain services they need to support
them. Whether its for two days a week,
for continuous twenty four hour care or
end-of-life support, home care can allow
patients to remain in their homes, protect
their independence, and preserve their
dignity.

ideal for individuals, especially seniors,

who would prefer to remain in their own
home rather than move into a nursing facility but need some assistance to do so
comfortably and safely.
This type of home care is usually referred to as personal care or companion
care, and services range from transportation, errands, light housekeeping, meal
preparation and assistance with activities
of daily living.
For the most part, non-medical home
care is a private pay service, meaning it
is not covered by Medicare or Medicaid
programs and must be paid for independently, said Zalar. However, there are
some state government programs, like
Passport that individuals may qualify for
that will assist in payment for these services.

Medical home health care or visiting
nurses is appropriate for people suffering from chronic illness and/or recovering from acute injury or illness and
needing skilled care to remain at home.
Skilled home health services are covered
by Medicare, Medicaid, most private insurances and veterans benefits.
Home health services include medication management; wound care; physical, occupational, and speech therapies;
and other skilled services provided by
licensed individuals, said Zalar. It requires a physicians order, and that the
patient is under the care of a physician.
In most cases, insurance providers
stipulate that a patient must be homebound and need intermittent, skilled
services to qualify for visiting nurses

services. Home bound doesnt mean that
a patient must be bedbound or confined
to home, but it must be difficult for the
patient to leave home unassisted.
Hospice care provides a combination of
care to help patients and families focus on
living when a loved one is terminally ill.
The notion of the end of life being
near can certainly be scary and lonely
for the patient and their loved ones, said
Zalar. Hospice sees this time as an important time of living.
The hospice team relieves those feelings of loneliness and anxiety; helps provide comfort and security with expert
medical care and can even help attain
last wishes. By helping patients live the
last phase of their journey fully, hospice
allows patients to feel a sense of much

needed dignity and respect. At the same
time, hospice recognizes and attends to
the needs of family members providing
care.
Theres an inaccurate perception that
hospice means youve given up, said Zalar. Those of us who have worked in the
field have seen firsthand how hospice and
palliative care can improve the quality
of life and may even prolong the lives of
some people who receive care.
Community Health Professionals offers a complete range of home health and
hospice services throughout northwest
and west central Ohio. Home health, hospice and related services can begin with

Veterans Day begins as a remembrance of the World War I armistice

BY KIRK DOUGAL
DHI Media Group Publisher
kdougal@timesbulletin.com
The 11th hour of the 11th Day of the
11 month it sounds too poetic for
the end of something so horrific.
Originally known as The Great
War or The War to End All Wars,
the reason for the beginning of
World War I is still debated by historians. The simplistic answer is that
the assassination of Austrian Archduke Ferdinand by Bosnian militants
started the hostilities. In reality, the
brutal shooting was only a match to
the powder keg that comprised the
political landscape of 1900s Europe.
Britain and Germany continued
a naval arms race in 1906 with the
launching of the technologically advanced battleship, the HMS Dreadnought, making all other warships
obsolete overnight. The British Empire had dominated the European
economy for decades but Germany
and her allies like Austria had surpassed Englands domestic Gross
National Product by 1912 and was
only held in check by Britains grip
on the world-wide economy through
its colonies. Also, a nationalistic
fervor had swept across Europe followed by an irrational romanticism
of war, encouraged by the political
elite and popular culture. To further
inflame passions on each side, by
1914, Germany, Russia, and Britain
had devised detailed battle plans to
use against each other in the event of
war. With all communications of the
time limited to telegraph and faceto-face meetings between ambassadors, military commanders in the
field had only these preparations to
guide them, assuring that small skirmishes could quickly escalated into
full-scale war.
The turn of the century witnessed
an explosion of technological and
industrial developments and most
of them found military applications.

fenses made rapid advancements of
troops nearly impossible. Barbed
wire evolved into as much of a deterrent for infantry movements as it had
proven for cattle in the American
West. Defensive positions coupled
with more deadly artillery and reliable machine guns quickly turned
crossing open territory into suicide
missions. Poison gas attacks made
their debut during World War I with
more than 5,000 Canadians dying
from chlorine gas at the Second Battle of Ypres.
Old military commanders had no
answer for these defensive advancements and continued to use tactics
devised during the Napoleonic Wars
and earlier. French officers appear to
have been particularly inept, deciding the only way to defeat entrenched
positions was to throw wave after
wave of infantry into the enemy until
the emplacements were overrun. The
resulting casualty toll led to abysmal

world war came to an end this
morning, at six oclock, Washington time. The Allied terms for an
armistice were signed at midnight
by the envoys representing the
German government, according
to an official announcement made
by the State Department. The
State Department issued an oral
statement as follows: The armistice has been signed. The signatures of the representatives of
Germany were affixed at eleven
oclock, Paris time. The terms of
the armistice were not made public. Military men here, however,
regard it as certain that the terms
include:
Immediate retirement of the
German military forces from
France, Belgium, and AlsaceLorraine.

desertion and insubordination charges. It was not until the introduction of
the motorized tank and more widespread use of bi-planes that offensive
maneuvers were once again possible and each sides armies began to
move again.
Approximately 9 million soldiers
died during World War I with an additional 21 million wounded before
the Armistice was signed on November 11, 1918. Agreed to by the
German delegation at 5 oclock in
the morning, it did not take effect
until 11AM. Frenchman Ferdinand
Foch, the commander-in-chief of all
Allied forces on the Western Front,

Occupation of the principal
German naval bases by sea forces
of the victorious nations.

associated governments.
There was no information as
to the circumstances under which
the armistice was signed, but

telegraphed the commanders in the

field that all fighting would cease
at that time. This led to reports that
some officers stood by artillery stations with watches in their hands,
rhythmically shouting Fire! until
the second hand swept to the top of
the face and announced the end of
the war.
Armistice Day became a national
holiday in most of the Allied nations,
celebrated on the anniversary of the
end of the Great War. On November

within the French lines had been
instructed by wireless to sign the
terms.
Forty-seven hours had been
required for the courier to reach
German headquarters, and unquestionably several hours were
necessary for the examination of
the terms and a decision. It was
regarded as possible, however,
that the decision may have been

transmitted from there by the new
German government.

THOSE WERE THE DAYS

25, 50, and 75 Years Ago
BY DHI MEDIA STAFF
25 Years Ago
This week in 1989, the doors swung open and thousands of
East Germans streamed into West Germany as the Berlin Wall
was opened to citizen traffic for the first time in 28 years. Some
residents were so thrilled they were seen dancing on top of the
barrier that had been put in place to seal off the democratic
portion from the Communist-controlled side of the city. The
border opening occurred after new Communist leader Egon
Krenz and the Central Committee met. President Bush praised
the reforms and predicted that soon this wall built in 61 will
have very little relevance.
More than 100 tips were received as law enforcement authorities continued to search for the killer of three women from
the Willshire area. The most recent clues led police to release
the sketch of a suspected rapist in another case with similarities. The bodies of Joan, Michelle, and Christie Rogers had
been found near St. Petersburg, Florida, where they had been
on vacation before going missing.
Members of the Ottoville Limited Edition chapter of the
Ohio Child Conservation League were given a demonstration
by Cindy Becker on how to paint and decorate sweatshirts at
a recent meeting. President JoAnn Horstman conducted the
meeting, held in the home of Del Knippen. Lunch was served
by co-hostess Lynn Horstman.

Volunteers keep aging WWII planes flying

BY JAY REEVES
Associated Press
MONTGOMERY,
Ala.
(AP) World War II veterans
are aging, and so are the airplanes they flew.
Keeping the old warbirds in
the air is an unusual challenge
for crews who maintain planes
such as the B-17 bomber Aluminum Overcast, which is
touring the Southeast.
Only a handful of World
War II airplanes are still airworthy, and crew members
such as Terry Tucker and Meredith Whitlock travel with the
planes to keep them going. The
two aviation industry retirees
were busy when the 69-year-
old Aluminum Overcast had

engine problems during a stop
in Alabama.
Were all volunteers,
Tucker said. Just for the love
of aviation we come out.
The pilots had to feather
one of the planes four ninecylinder engines when it was
arriving in Montgomery because of an oil pressure problem, and the same problem
cropped up again when the
plane attempted to take off on
a flight for World War II veterans.
This is part of the experience of what they actually went through in combat.
Hurry up and wait, pilot Ken
Morris said after turning off
the planes engines because of

the problem.
Tucker and Whitlock
worked until after dark at the
Montgomery airport cleaning
filters so the plane could take
off for flights the next day.
Flights cost $449 a person,
and the plane holds a maximum of 10 passengers. Tucker
said it costs more than $3,000
an hour to keep the plane in
the air, so the revenue is important.
While mechanics sometimes have to fabricate parts,
the Experimental Aircraft
Association owns the B-17
and has a warehouse full of
replacement parts to fix it in
Oshkosh, Wisconsin.
The most trying problems

are engine problems, Tucker
said. If you lose an engine
or lose a cylinder or anything
its quite time-consuming, and
then hunting up parts to get for
it.
The work can be tough,
and its nothing for crew
members to be splattered with
oil after a repair. But its all
worth it once a veteran such
as Robert Scroggins climbs
aboard.
Scroggins, 92, served as
a B-17 bombardier during
World War II and was on
three planes that went down
under enemy fire, including
one that ditched in the North
Sea.

This week in 1964, officials at the Kremlin said it was time
to end the narrow-mindedness and bickering between Communist countries. The appeal was made on the eve of several
Communist leaders converging on Moscow for talks, including
Chinese Premier Chou En-lai. This apparent reversal in policy
followed years of acrimony between Chinese leaders and recently-ousted Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev.
The Van Wert Civic Theatre announced its first production
of the season would be the comedy, Visit to a Small Planet.
Ted Bunn was the director of the show while starring Lawrence Conley, Donna Goedde, and Dorothy Bowersock. The
Theatre performed at the Junior Fair building.
Oliver Lundgren, owner of the Kaufman Studio on West
Second Street, presented a program at the weekly meeting of
the Delphos Rotary Club held Wednesday at NuMaudes Restaurant. Lundgren was introduced by Rev. John Wilcox, program chairman for the day. Club singing was led by Dr. Ralph
Best.
75 Years Ago
This week in 1939, fire raced through Runkle Cakes &
Candy Co. factory in Kenton, completely destroying the structure. An estimated $65,000 worth of sugar and raw materials
and $50,000 in finished candies were lost along with all of the
companys manufacturing equipment. Total damages were set
at $250,000 and 200 people lost their jobs in the blaze. Firefighters were able to stave off complete disaster by stopping the
fire from spreading to the nearby fuel oil storage facility where
thousands of gallons of fuel was kept.
The Van Wert American Legion Hall was alive with stories
as 45 ex-soldiers of Company D, Second regiment of Ohio met
for their annual banquet. Mayor John Morrison, captain of the
company and president of the organization, led the meeting
where experiences from the Mexican Border War in 1916 and
the World War were told.
The Delphos Band Mothers re-opened their rummage sale
in the Heiss building on West Third Street. The sale continued until Saturday night. A variety of articles was offered for
sale by the organization. The proceeds were used to further the
work of the Jefferson High School band.

Talking
Mud slinging is always in season

Its been quite a week for
people who like to argue. First
of all, the political campaign
commercial season came to a
close on Tuesday. The search
for positive campaign messages was officially discontinued
in a cloud of dried mud.
I dont watch much TV at
all, but I saw maybe a dozen
of these statewide candidates
blowing off about how a victory by his appointment would
certainly mean the existence
of civilization within hours
after the polls close. I saw it
coming from both sides, so
as far as Im concerned, there
is no one on the moral high
ground.
The arguing went on
throughout the early-election
period, through the earlyballotting, and now through
the after-ballotting. Its funny
that there are people who are
so party-centric that their lives
have become all about win-
ning. Not themselves winning,

but the political party they
prefer.
The arguments continue to
this minute in coffee shops,
bars, and of course, the Internet. After all, the Internet was
invented for cat videos, celebrity nude pictures and political
arguments. I see a good many
of these arguments, and let me
summarize them for you:
X: Did you see what that
YY candidate said? Thats
outrageous! Thats what all
those YYs think they hate everybody I agree with!
Y: Oh, theres nothing
wrong with that! Hes right!
Besides I heard that X candidate called some womans
baby ugly and refused to kiss
the beautiful child!
X: Probably didnt want to
catch some disease from that
Y kid! Theyre so hateful and
they only care about themselves!
Y: You people are the selfish ones. And you call people
names, you stupid
The intellectual discussion
usually escalates from there.
I sort of understand the sentiment about being ashamed of
my country around this time
of year. Not that Im ashamed
of the United States of America, mind you, but many
Americans make me want to
keep my head low and wear a
Maple Leaf.
Locally, we had a voter
turnout of 35.5 percent,

An all too familiar event took place this past weekend in

Van Wert. Four young people, in this case high school students,
overdosed and needed medical attention. All four were taken
to the hospital to be treated with two of them being rushed to
care by Lifeflight.
This most recent life-or-death event follows several other
similar instances over the past few months. The trend mirrors
the dramatic increase of drug-related cases making their way
through the local court systems. The Times Bulletin has been
monitoring and writing about the leap in drug events for three
years, ever since the number of court cases more than tripled
from 2011 to 2012. The drugs involved also changed, moving

in an increasingly harder direction with substances such as
bath salts, heroin, and prescription drugs.
And the ages of those involved continues to go down.
The local D.A.R.E. programs do a great job of getting out to
the younger students in the area to warn them of the dangers of

The Starr Campus part two

Heres the idea in a nutshell: Ohio State Extension
and Northwest State Community College partnering to
establish a hybrid of an agricultural research center and
a college campus at the Starr
Commonwealth facility east
of town.
Last week, I quickly covered the synchronicity that
could make this happen and
promised some elaboration
this week. To do this, Im going to draw from some of my
prior columns, so if you feel
like youve seen some of this
before, thank you for reading.
Van Wert County taxpayers finance OSU Extension
more than surrounding counties. Much more. We provide
$200,000 annually through
a levy that is due to expire at
the end of next year. That is
on top of what the city pays
Extension for an economic
development program. If it is
not renewed or replaced by
the electorate in the spring or
the fall, the levy financing just
ends. By statute, a countys
board of commissioners has to
approve an Ohio State Extension levy request before it is
even presented to voters.
Our initial discussions with

Extension involved trimming
the levy with an understanding that 4-H, nonetheless,
would receive heightened financing. There are things that
could be eliminated to make
this happen. There is a position at our local Extension that
has been vacant for almost a
year, for example, and no one
has really noticed. You pay for
that.
Of
course,
Extension
would prefer not to have the
levy reduced. Well, in that
case, perhaps instead of a
smaller purpose, how about a
larger one? One more befitting of such Van Wert County
taxpayer largesse. OSU likely
would not be interested in the
Starr on its own. Its just too
big of an investment. For the
same reason, Northwest State
would not be interested. Together, and with the levy and
some other funding options,
its an affordable risk.
Heres what OSU has to
gain: Its an opportunity to
place an agricultural research
center in the midst of some
of the states best land and
livestock. And with the algae
problem throughout the re-
gion, manifested most alarmingly in Toledo last summer

and Grand Lake St. Marys
for several years, this area is a
prime target for state research.
This was Ohio State Dean
McPherons observation, not
ours.
There is land around the
Starr that could be made
available for crop research.
As stated last week, the Starr
sold its 130 acres to the Marsh
Foundation, which owns even
more farmland nearby. During
the Farm Focus years, the land
at the main Marsh site was
used for exactly the type of
research Extension conducts.
We learned recently that, near
the end of the Farm Focus
years, OSU had proposed a research center similar to what
is being discussed now at the
Marsh but talks never fully
developed.
It should be made clear that
The Marsh board has made no
definite commitment to this
project, but it will certainly
be included in the talks. Even
if the Marsh land proves unavailable, the county owns
300 acres two miles east of the
Starr Campus. Other entities
with the general welfare of the
citizen WolfruM
county in mind and with huge
tracts of land could be encouraged to participate. Im looking at you, Van Wert County
Foundation.
On the educational side of
things, the traditional university branch campus model has
peaked and is in decline. In
Van Wert County, we have no
traditional college presence,
but residents can go to established branches like Wright
State in Celina, IPFW, or the
specialized UNOH on our
side of Lima. The Internet options slice away at all of these.
Many that go to these nearby
branches or study on the web
would have gone to OSUs
campus on the far side of Lima
twenty years ago. OSU-Lima
has shown a steady decline in
enrollment over the past few
decades.
For OSU, a presence in Van
Wert County draws students
from Paulding County, west
Putnam County, and Delphos
and turns its declining Lima
campus into a second stop.
A student can get a four-year
degree in Lima in any of the
following: biology, business,
education, English, health
sciences, history, psychology,
social work, and theater. (Yep,

theater.) If students tie into
these programs in Van Wert to
get the general education out
of the way, more students funnel into the Lima campus or
to the 175 majors that can be
pursued in Columbus.
Which brings us to Northwest State Community College, the other major player
in all of this. Recently designated as Van Wert Countys
community college provider,
Northwest State is now looking to invest in Van Wert. It
has resources of its own but is
also looking at multiple government funding options. In
a partnership with OSU, that
kind of funding becomes attractive to the kind of people
that dispense it. Bureaucrats
love other bureaucrats.
Northwest State already
teaches general education
courses which transfer to any
state college in Ohio. The idea
of taking community college
gen ed courses to save a ton of
money seems to have a slow
gestation, however. It hasnt
caught on yet, but it will, because there is a slow train
coming - the grand default on
college loans. That is the next

entirely unavoidable. When
it happens, the concept of the
value of college will change
quickly.
A student can spend
$23,000 for a freshman year
at Bowling Green or that student can spend under $5,000
to get the same college credits at Northwest State. Heres
a question What do you do
with a $100,000 philosophy
degree when bankruptcy is
not an option? My guess is
that Plato aint got an answer
for that. What happens is that
your life gets awful practical
awful fast.
If OSU gives its stamp of
approval on Northwest States
general education courses,
the idea of affordable college
close to home becomes a credible goal for our kids.
That is the expanded nutshell. Therell be more soon.

I miss those simpler times.
Im the kind of girl who
likes the feel of a newspaper,
of a book. The smell of a newspaper and a book. The smell
of a library. I could walk around there and inhale for hours. I
also prefer old typewriters to computers, and real encyclopedia
books to online sources.
I know. Im weird.
As I currently teach in my middle school classroom where
each student is equipped with his or her own iPad, its a bit of a
culture shock for me when I reflect on my glory days in school.
Im still getting used to technology. Im just an old-fashioned
gal.
As much as I love looking back and romanticizing the
good ol days, I am grateful every day that my students come
equipped with iPads. Everything is a double-edged sword, of
course, so while there is much good to be gleaned from such
a technological advancement and convenience, there is also
some monitoring that must be going on while the iPads are in
use. There is a blocking system which prevents students from
visiting inappropriate sites (which sometimes works against us,
too, in trying to research something that is not inappropriate,
yet a key word alerts the system that we might be searching
for immoral content,) but more often than not, it is the noneducational games the kids like to use their iPads for which
we incessantly must advise otherwise. Despite these kinks in
the system, I am very glad we have this technology to use in
my classroom.
As a language arts teacher, there is so much more I can do
now, with so much more freedom, than I could have ever done
if these kids didnt have iPads. I teach at a religious school, so
we are instructed to incorporate God into our lessons whenever
we can. I have had students read works of literature and then
look up Bible verses that relate. Weve researched authors of
stories weve read or books were reading. Weve looked up
famous quotations and written about the ones we like and can
relate to. We did research for Breast Cancer Awareness Month
and Bullying Awareness Month and talked about all of the information we hadnt previously known. Allowing them to do
this on their own or with a partner or group not only provides
socialization in learning, but it makes it more fun than if I were
to just stand in front of the room and ramble on about bullying
while they took notes.
iPads allow the classroom to morph into more than just a
room with walls. We can travel to Paris as we research Hemingway, we can delve inside the mind of a breast cancer survivor,
we can open the floor to a meaningful discussion and then apply the life skills were always stressing (examples are caring,
effort, friendship) and how we might use some of these skills
in different situations we could find ourselves in.
If we still had the technology we had when I was in
school, Id spend every waking hour researching all of this on
my own, having students miss out on learning critical thinking
skills like how to determine if a website is valid. How to cite
a source. How to paraphrase. How to Google a list of possible
narrative or descriptive essay topics if a student is dealing with
some writers block. Not to mention how much more fun and
engaging this is for them, and for me.
I love any chance I get to incorporate the iPads into lesson
plans, and I know they do, too. So maybe they sometimes miss
the non-school-related games they like to play. I try to make up
for that with some of the fun, educational apps we can use, like
Mad-Libs, to learn the parts of speech. Maybe it can be challenging at times to find what we need, due to the strict blocking
system. Weve managed.
And maybe Im not so against technology after all.

Recently there has been a

lot of talk about the Common
Man. It has been drummed
into us that this is the Century
of the Common Man. The idea
seems to be that the Common
Man has come into his own at
last.
Thus we are in danger of
developing a cult of mediocrity. But there is at least one
hopeful sign: I have never
been able to find out who this
Common Man is. In fact, most
Americans will get mad and
fight if you try calling them
common. This essay was first
brought to my attention in
1988 and is still true today.
This is hopeful because it
shows that most people are
holding fast to an essential
fact in American life. We believe in equal opportunity for
all, but we know that this includes the opportunity to rise
to leadershipin other words,
to be uncommon.
Let us remember that the
great human advances have
not been brought about by
mediocre men and women.
They were brought about by
distinctly uncommon people
with vital sparks of leadership.
Many of the great leaders were, it is true, of humble
origin, but that alone was not
their greatness.
It is a curious fact that
when you get sick you want
an uncommon doctor, if your
car breaks down you want an
uncommonly good mechanic;
when we get into war we want
an uncommon admiral and an
uncommon general.

and mother who wanted their

They wanted them to possess

May it always be so. For the
future of America rests not in
mediocrity, but in the constant
renewal of leadership in every
phase of our national life.

Now, after being married

Well, said the man, now

The advice you get sometimes can be a little confusing. Take the following, for
example.
(From page 6)
Now, lets think of all the people of the above mob the
nonvoters, the nonregistered, the too-lazy-to-vote-or learnabout-the-candidates, the funny name folks, and the drunk
grandpa-devotees and understand a very important point: these
are the same people in the insulting discussions and yelling
contests in the coffee shops, the bars, and especially the Internet.
Thats right, friends, you dont need facts or intelligence to
engage in political debate. All you need is a side to support
and a side to insult. But if you are sad that the insult-and-argue
season just concluded, dont worry. It has already started again.
One potential presidential candidate has been made the subject of insults and disagreeable name-calling. And now, weve
moved up a step. A presidential candidate from the other side
has declared and the insults and mudslinging against him has
already begun (less than 24 hours into the campaign.)
America, were almost 250 years old. Maybe its time we
grew up.

Have you put a value on
your smile? It costs nothing,
but creates much. It enriches
those who receive, without
impoverishing those who give.
It happens in a flash and the
memory of it sometimes lasts
forever. None are so rich they
can get along without it, and
none so poor but are richer for
its benefits.
It creates happiness in the
home, fosters goodwill in a
business, and is the countersign of friends. It is rest to
the weary, daylight to the discouraged, sunshine to the sad,
and natures best antidote for
trouble.
Yet it cannot be bought,
begged, borrowed or stolen,
for it is something that is no
earthly good to anyone till it is
given away.
And if in the hurly-burly
bustle of todays business
world, some of the people you
meet should be too tired to
give you a smile, may we ask
you to leave one of yours?
For nobody needs a smile
so much, as those who have
none left to give!!

Spencerville exacts revenge, eliminates Knights

bY JoHN PAReNT
DHI Media Sports Editor
sports@timesbulletin.com
CONVOY Moments after the final whistle sounded, Spencerville head coach John
Zerbe was overcome as he reflected on the
Bearcats 36-7 win over Crestview in a Division VI playoff game in Convoy. The win was
the first ever in the postseason for the Spencerville program.
Its just incredible. I started my career
0-20. Its not about me, its about our players,
and to get to this point now is just a testament
to them, Zerbe explained. For the school and
the community to stick by me, it means a lot.
The Bearcats were sloppy, turning the ball
over four times in a 21-0 loss to Jefferson in
week ten. There was none of that sloppiness on
Friday night, as the Spencerville took care of
the ball and forced four Crestview turnovers in
the game. Zerbe attributed that to his players
being loose coming into the contest.
We had nothing to lose tonight, there was
nothing on the line for us, Zerbe said. We
just laid it all on the line tonight. We made a
few changes this week and tried to stir things
up a little bit; we got back to playing Spencerville football.
One of those changes was a shift in the
vaunted Bearcat backfield. Junior Zach
Goecke moved from fullback, where he gained
over 1,400 yards during the regular season, to
half back. The result was 141 rushing yards
on 24 carries for Goecke, including a 40-yard
touchdown run. That scoring jaunt came on
Spencervilles first drive of the second half, on
a 4th-and-5 play. It was the second 4th-down
Spencervilles Zach Goecke takes the handoff from the quarterback Mason
Nourse during Friday nights opening playoff game against Crestview. The
Bearcats beat the Knights 36-7. (DHI Media/Tina Eley)
conversion of the drive and put the Bearcats
up 22-7.
It was a gamble, but it paid off, Zerbe said
of the move of Goecke to half back. (Crestview) is a great team, but we knew we could
get some creases, we knew we could get some
yards, but we had to score. We couldnt just
get down there and then turn the ball over.
Tonight, we seemed to punch it in, especially
when we really needed it.
Goeckes touchdown came one series after
Crestview had a 65-yard scoring run by quarterback Preston Zaleski called back due to an
illegal motion penalty. Had the play stood,

Crestview would have tied the score early in
the third quarter. Instead, the Knights were
forced to punt and Spencerville went on a
9-play, 70-yards drive that featured a fake punt
before Goeckes long run gave the momentum
to the Bearcats.
Zaleski had a 28-yards touchdown run
called back on a tripping call in the first half.
We had two touchdowns taken off the board,
Crestview head coach Jared Owens noted. From
that play, and that drive (early in the third quarter), and really from then on out, it kind of took the
Wildcats fall to Royals in regional quarters

BUCYRUS Playoff football.
That is when things such as turnovers and penalties take on an added
importance.
Jefferson found that out the hard
way Friday night at Bucyrus Wynford,
committing three big turnovers and
eight penalties in falling 29-12 to the
Royals in a Region 20 quarterfinal.
You just cannot commit turnovers and penalties this time of year,
especially against a well-coached and
physical Wynford team. We knew how
good they were coming in, Jefferson
coach Chris Sommers explained. We
hurt ourselves with those kind of mistakes and good teams know how to
capitalize. We moved the ball pretty
well but we bogged down too much
but we struggled stopping them.
The Royals (10-1) used a 33-yard
return by Braxton Tea on the opening
kickoff to set up shop at the 42. Aided
by two offsides calls against the Wildcats (8-3), they went the distance in
10 plays, including overcoming their
own holding penalty. At the Delphos
4, Nick Looker took a sweep to the
left side, cut up outside the tackle and
found paydirt. With a two-point conversion, the Toyals took an 8-0 edge at
8:04 of the first period.
The Jeffcats got a nice 29 yard kickoff return from Brenen Auer to start
its drive at the 44. Six running plays
found them at the Bucyrus 25 but on
the seventh, a fumble was recovered
Tinora takes advantage of

7 Raiders turnovers in win

DEFIANCE Wayne Trace committed only 16 turnovers
total in their ten regular season football games this year. The
Raiders had almost half that many Friday night at Justin F. Coressel Stadium on the campus of Tinora High School.
Tinora defenders Nathan Drewes and Brevin Renollet each
recorded two interceptions while Justin Flory added a fumble
recovery and an interception as the Ram defense forced seven
Raider turnovers in a 47-20 victory over
Wayne Trace in Division VI regional quarterfinal action.
The Rams took advantage of the turnovers for 27 unanswered points to move to
11-0 on the season and advance to regional
semifinal action next Friday. Tinora will
play Spencerville, though the location has
yet to be announced. Wayne Trace closes
its season with a record of 8-3.
It was a night that saw the Raiders gain
more first downs and almost as many yards but
the Raiders could not overcome the miscues.
We didnt take care of the football and
that was the difference in the game, noted
Raider head coach Bill Speller. You cant
have that many turnovers against good
football teams, and they took advantage of
it. They are a very good football team.
After an interception by Renollet on Wayne
Traces first possession, the second possession
didnt end any better as Flory tipped a Tyler
Showalter pass before picking it off.
The Rams proceeded to drive 70 yards
in eight plays, denting the scoreboard on a
three-yard touchdown run by Riley Nagel
with 4:52 left in the opening stanza. Josh
Camp added the extra point kick for a 7-0 Tinora advantage.
A short Raider punt set up the hosts for their second score.
Taking over at its own 46, Tinora needed only three plays
to score again as Renollet hooked up with Nathan Drewes on a
43-yard touchdown toss to make it 14-0 after one quarter.
Wayne Trace never would recover, but would make things
interesting.
The Raiders pulled within 14-6 when Showalter found Seth
Saylor for a 56-yard scoring strike at the 4:05 mark of the second stanza. However, Tinora would answer when T.J. Gares
rumbled eight yards for a score to put the Rams on top 20-6
with 1:35 left in the first half.
Despite five first half turnovers, Wayne Trace went to the
locker room only down one score after Showalter hooked up
with David Sinn on a 21-yard touchdown pass to get the Raiders
within 20-14.
We felt like we were in pretty good shape there at halftime,
especially having five turnovers and only down one score, Speller
continued. Our defense kept us in it there in the first half.
Renollet and Nagel each scored on touchdown runs to put
the game away in the third quarter for Tinora.
Renollet plunged in from the one-yard line with 5:02 remaining before Nagel scored on a seven-yard carry to give
Tinora a 33-14 advantage entering the final stanza.
After another Renollet sneak for a score from the one
pushed the margin to 40-14, Wayne Traces final score of the
season came on a four-yard run by Jacob Dingus.
Gares then finished the scoring on a 49-yard scamper to set
the final margin.
You have to give Tinora a lot of credit, added the Raider
head coach. They are a good football team and they took advantage of our mistakes. Their defense was very aggressive tonight and they forced us to do things we didnt want to do. They
put pressure on Tyler all night long and that was a big key.
Showalter finished the night 21 of 41 through the air for 301
yards while also running for 100 yards on 11 carries. Dingus
topped Raider receivers with six catches for 102 yards, and David Sinn added five receptions for 53 yards. Seth Saylor and
Cole Shepherd each chipped in four catches.
Seniors seeing their careers in a Wayne Trace uniform end
were Nick Glass, Darius Hale, Matt Baxter, Jacob Dingus, Tyler Showalter, David Sinn, Nick Mansfield, Jake Arend, Cassidy Hilkey, Daron Showalter, Hank Sinn, Josh Reel, Justin
Pierce, Grant Gillett, Riley Moore and Chuckie Chastain.

promising drive.
Bucyrus pieced together a 9-play
drive to add another score. At the 49,
Keaton Teynor dropped to pass and
threw down the middle for Tony Watson. Two defenders tipped the ball at the
20 but the tip drill worked to perfection
as the junior receiver hauled it in for the
score. Brown kicked the point-after for
a 15-0 edge with 6:57 to go in the half.
Delphos replied keyed by a 33yard Auer return to the Wynford 42

with a 9-play sequence, with a 21-yard
connection from Jace Stockwell to
Binkley the key play. At the 5, Adam
Rode swept the right side, stretched
it to the sideline and found the pylon.

Playoff hopes on line for Spartans, Buckeyes

bY NoAH TRISTeR
AP Sports Writer
EAST LANSING, Mich.
(AP) Mark Dantonio and
Urban Meyer downplayed
the rivalry between Michigan State and Ohio State this
week.
Michigan, the coaches insisted, is the main rival for
both. While thats certainly
true, the stakes of Saturday
nights game between the No.
7 Spartans and No. 13 Buckeyes speak for themselves.
To say this is a rivalry
game, that would diminish the
rivalry thats been here for 100
years, Meyer said. This is a
great game because its two
teams battling for first place.
First place in the Big Tens
East Division and a possible spot in college footballs
new four-team playoff. Thats
whats on the line, and theres
no need for extra incentive or
ill will.
The rivalry talk has picked
up because these same teams
met in the Big Ten title game
last year and theyve dominated the conference the last
few seasons. Michigan State
has not lost to a Big Ten team
since 2012. The Buckeyes are
wind out of our sails. They had all the momentum,

and just continued to do what they do.
What they did was pound the ball with a
rushing attack that came in averaging more
than 330 yards per night. Crestviews stout
defense, playing the bulk of the second half
without injured starters Jordan Roop and Nate
Owens, held firm for much of the night, but
Spencervilles Logan Vandemark broke off a
56-yard scoring run in the fourth quarter to
seal the game.
Spencerville finished with 292 rushing
yards on the day, though it took them 53 carries to get there.
Our guys got worn down. We just couldnt
match their intensity there at the end, Owens
acknowledged. Two seniors taken from our defense, two guys that have played tons of snaps.
Jordan is our best defensive player, or one of
them, so it certainly hurt. I thought the guys that
came in did a wonderful job. Seth Moser came
in at linebacker, played physical, played hard.
The Bearcats showed early that they werent
deviating from the blueprint theyve used this
season. A 9-play, 57-yard drive to open the
contest was capped by quarterback Mason
Nourse scoring on a 2-yard run. Spencervilles
2-point try was unsuccessful, but the Bearcats
were up early at 6-0.
The Knights came marching right back,
however, with Zaleski scoring on his own
2-yard scamper to end a 32-yard drive after
Malcolm Olivers kickoff return gave Crestview tremendous field position. Jake Tatums
extra point gave the Knights what would be
their only lead of the game, 7-6, with 3:27 to
play in the opening period.

game against Michigan in East Lansing, Mich.,
Saturday, Oct. 25, 2014. (AP Photo/Carlos Osorio)
20-0 in conference during the
regular season under Meyer,
but their loss to the Spartans
in that 2013 title game stands
out.
Theres a healthy respect

between the two programs
with a hint of an enemy-ofmy-enemy-is-my-friend sentiment. Dantonio didnt dis-
pute Meyers contention that

Michigan is Ohio States main
rival. He went a step further
by saying Michigan States
rivals are Michigan and Notre
Dame. The Spartans dont
play the Irish this year.
There are certain football
teams that you start to begin
to take shape as a rivalry as
you play them, Dantonio
said. I think it goes back and
forth, but I think you need to
have a very long history.
Michigan State (7-1, 4-0)
is No. 8 in the latest ranking
from college footballs playoff committee, and a victory
this weekend is necessary if
the Spartans want to remain
in serious consideration. Ohio
State (7-1, 4-0) has even more
ground to make up at No. 14,
but a road victory over Michigan State would be a start.
Last year, it was the Spartans who denied the Buckeyes
a spot in the BCS championship game by beating them for
the Big Ten title. This weeks
rematch also figures to eliminate the loser.
Who knows? A few more
matchups of this magnitude,
and maybe Michigan State vs.
Ohio State really will become
a major rivalry.

James insists no feud with Cavs point guard No joke: Browns open
eyes with dominant win
By PAT GRAHAM
AP Sports Writer
DENVER (AP) LeBron James sat at one end of

the court, listening to music.
On the other end, about as far
away from James as possible,
Kyrie Irving leaned back in
his seat.
Quite a distance between
the Cleveland Cavaliers teammates.
Means we hate each other, Irving said Friday after
the morning shootaround,
hours before tipoff against
Denver. He was only joking,
of course.
James shot down reports
that he and his point guard
got into a heated disagreement
after the Portland game on
Tuesday.
We have not had a verbal
exchange, said James, whose
team has dropped two straight
road games. But I understand
that negativity sells. No one
wants to hear a good story.
Those reports are not true.
Theyre very false.
Irving had some fun with
their reported rift. He goodnaturedly said the dispute
with James was actually over
which show is better: Sur-

Guy. Irving is a big fan of the about Survivors Remorse,
animated series.
because its his show. I love
Family Guy, Irving said.

Heated exchange. Words
were said. No blows this time.
Unlike James, Irving has
never really been through
anything like this, where all
eyes are constantly on him.
We attract a lot of hoopla.
Always something to blame,
Irving said. The only thing
that matters is whats going on
within our locker room. Thats
the only thing that matters.
And fine-tuning on his oncourt chemistry with James.
Were two dynamic players and its coming along well,
I believe, James said. Its
going to continue to get better
and better. Its just four games.
Its our first time playing together. Every game is going
to be a learned experience for
both of us. Its not just me and
Kyrie. Its myself and the rest
of the guys, and Kyrie and the
rest of the guys as well.
To calm some of the angst
over their sluggish start,
James posted a message on
his Twitter page Thursday:
In the words of the great @
AaronRodgers12 RELAX.
James said that wasnt directed at anyone in particular,
simply, how I was feeling at
the time.

COLLEGE
B AY L O R :
Bears
coach
Art Briles knows
how to recruit for
that system of
offense. As long
as his defense
can at least
slow down the
opponent, they
win. They get
it done on the
prairie.
A R I Z O N A
STATE: I dont hate the Fighting Irish at all
(Take that, MCW!), like some that would
not pick them if they were playing the Little
Sisters of the Poor (they bring a wallop!).
Sun Devils are simply better, especially in
the desert.
TCU: Who am I to argue with an offense that
can put up zillions of points? And can still
play some decent defense?
LSU: Maybe this is a heart pick but the
Bayeaux Tigers seem to be picking up steam.
Plus, being in front of 10 trillion nut-jobs at
Tiger Stadium, well, it does something to
you; plus, they loathe, hate, despise some
might even say dislike intensely! Crimson
Tide!
OHIO STATE: This may also be a heart pick
but I think the Buckeyes will play loose and
free they are the dogs on offense and
score some points. Question is, can this
defense step up like they must? I hope so.
OREGON: Utah has been surprisingly good
but apparently, they have questions under
center. Not good facing a fast defense like
this and an offense that is getting its ..
together.
PROS
but Ill say so.

TCU: Now that I know what TCU stands for, I
cant turn my back on them.
LSU: Picking teams with abbreviations is so
much easier.
MICHIGAN STATE: I feel like I havent got to
share my dislike of the Luckeyes enough this
year. (EN: I wish she would reveal her true
feelings about the Buckeyes, you know? I
think she holds back too much!)
UTAH: Ive really been liking Utah this year. It
just feels right to pick them.
PRO:
CAROLINA: With Foles out, hopefully Dallas
can stay in it with an Eagles loss.
TAMPA BAY: The Buccaneers are due for
win.
NEW ORLEANS: I usually dont like to pick
the Saints but theyre calling me. (EN: Calling
you what?)
DETROIT: Reggie and Calvin should be back
this week for the Lions so they will run to a
win.
BALTIMORE: Do I have to have reason? B
comes before T. (EN: Works for me!)
BUFFALO: Im liking the Bills this year since
I didnt even know they existed until this year.
JOHN PARENT
COLLEGE:
Baylor - There
probably wont
be much defense
in this one,
so Ill take the
Bears in a 60-48
shootout.
Notre Dame The Irish may not
be as good as
their ranking, but
neither is ASU.
TCUThe
m a r q u e e
PHILADELPHIA: Panthers may be most

frustrating team of many in NFL. I think
new starting QB for Eagles, Mark Sanchez
free from the zoo that is NY will make
a monkey out of Rex Ryan for letting him go.
TAMPA BAY: Falcons are just bad.
Buccaneers are somewhat bad. Lesser of
two evils, I guess, cuz someone has to win.
NEW ORLEANS: 49ers are finding out
Kaepernick still has a ways to go. Plus, Drew
Brees is just dynamite in the Dome and Mark
Ingram is finally living up to expectations.
DETROIT: I wrote Miami couldnt score
last week (it turns out Chargers cant!) but
they wont have the emotional lift of literally
playing for their coach. Plus, Lions D is darn
good and Megatron is back.
BALTIMORE: Ravens should be downright
angry, embarrassed, ticked off, angry, vile
put any bad name here after debacle in
Heinz Field last week. Tennessee cant seem
to find a QB.
KANSAS CITY: For the first 2-3 games,
everyone thought Chiefs were the worst team
in NFL. My, how that changes now that their
defense and special teams plus Jamaal
Charles are back to normal. Who are the
Bills RBs?
ERIN COX
COLLEGE:
OKLAHOMA:
Sooners sounds
cooler than da
Bears. Can I use
that here even if
its not Chicago?
(Editors Note:
Youse has my
permission!!)
NOTRE DAME: I
know at one point
this season Notre
Dame was doing well; Im not really sure now
matchup in the Big XII and I am staying on

the TCU bandwagon. Get this team into the
playoff.
Alabama- LSU is down. They are talented,
but not as much as the Tide. Close and
probably low-scoring, but Tide rolls (sorry).
(EN: Thou art evvvviiiiiilllll!!)
Michigan State- MSU feels ready for prime
time and they need a win over OSU to make
a statement, if only to themselves.
Oregon- Too much offense. Ducks in another
barnburner.
PRO:
Eagles- Home game for Philly, but with Mark
Sanchez behind center. Still a lot of people
will be expecting Carolina to win in this spot,
but the Sanchize steps up, even if only for
one game.
Falcons, I guess- Tampa and Atlanta, really?
This will be unwatchable football, and I dont
just mean because the game will be blacked
out (or should be, anyway). But hey, I hear
Josh McCown is starting again in Tampa
No reason to watch this dud. (EN: I try to pick
the most competitive games I can, even if air
quotes need to be inserted! LOL)
Saints- the Niners have been weird this year,
losing to teams they really shouldnt lose to.
Sooner or later, you have to think maybe they
just arent that good anymore.
Lions- Detroit has a strong defense and
enough firepower to come from behind when
it has to. These aint Wayne Fontes Lions.
(EN: Tell me about it. He cost me more than
a few fantasy games because he was an idiot
with Barry S.)
Ravens- Because the Ravens are pretty
good and the Titans, well, arent. Hows that
for analysis? (EN: Works for me, too!)
Bills- If you cant beat the Buffalo Bills, who
can you beat? - CBS analyst Bart Scott
last week. The Bills are 5-3 (dont tell Bart).
Theyre actually not all that bad.

(From page 8)
The Royals answered with an 8-play,
77-yard drive, with Hayden Rhoades
putting in a 38-yard carry to lead the
way. At the Delphos 11, the Royals ran
a Statue of Liberty play, with Rhoades
doing the honors around the left side
for the tally with 1:34 left in the half.
Brown made it 22-6 at the half.
Delphos opened the second half by
recovering a short kick at the 30 and
commencing to move to the Royals
13 in nine plays all rushing. However, a holding call stymied the drive
and Stockwell was sacked for a 7-yard
loss on 4th-and-15 from the 23.
Bucyrus gained the Delphos 3 in
five plays on its next drive, fumbling

on the seventh play and Warren Poling recovered at the 10 with 10:03
left. However, Jefferson could only
gain one first down before punting.
The defense forced a 3-and-out
and the offense commenced at the 32.
Eight plays later at the host 22, Stockwell rolled left, stopped and threw to
a wide-open Mike Cline in the middle
of the end zone for the tally. However,
the conversion run failed as the score
stood 22-12, Royals, with 4:07 left.
Hunter Miller recovered Jeffersons onside kick at the 49 and Wynford put it away with a 6-play drive.
At the Delphos 21, Teynor took it
straight up the gut, spun out of a

tackle and found the right side to the
end zone. Brown made it 29-12 with
2:02 to go.
Its tough to lose in the palyoffs;
you want to keep wininng, Sommers,
completing his first season at the
helm, added. I as a coach am truly
blessed to be here in this game with
my players and coaches; they have all
done a great job. We lose 11 seniors
and they get all the credit for leading
this team this year. Well learn from
this and keep building for the future.
The Royals advance to take on
Van Buren 7:30 p.m. Friday at a site
to be determined.

(From page 8)
On the next Spencerville drive, an offsides call
on Crestview prolonged the
Bearcat drive, and, facing a
2nd-and-8 at the Crestview
nine, Nourse eluded Roops
rush, the lofted a pass over the
outstretched arms of a Knight
pass rusher. That pass eventually landed in Goeckes arms,
as the junior back tight roped
the sideline in the end zone for
the score. a 2-point try succeeded and Spencerville took
a 14-7 lead into halftime.
Spencervilles only other
score came as Nourse sneaked
in from one yard out with 8:09
to play in the fourth quarter.

By TOM WITHERS
AP Sports Writer
CLEVELAND (AP) Theres no coaching change on the
horizon. The Johnny Manziel-must-play chants have quieted
for the moment and for the first time since 1994, when
a young, hoodie-wearing Bill Belichick coached them, the
Browns have at least six wins in their first nine games.
And Cleveland is showing early symptoms of playoff fever.
Laughable losers for years,
these Browns are no joke.
With a dominating win on
Thursday night in Cincinnati,
the Browns (6-3) moved into
a tie with Pittsburgh atop the
AFC North and pushed themselves into the playoff conversation. Theyre legit, and
a national TV audience got a
chance to see firsthand that this
is a Cleveland team to be taken seriously.
I know last night came as a surprise to people outside,
rookie coach Mike Pettine said Friday, but it didnt come as a
surprise to us.
The Browns took it to the Bengals from the start, ending a
17-game road losing streak inside their division and validating
their record after a three-week stretch of games against Jacksonville, Oakland and Tampa Bay, teams a combined 2-23. No,
this wasnt a grind-it-out-just-get-by victory. This was a quality
win over a quality opponent.
Clevelands rushing game, which had stalled the past few
weeks following a season-ending injury to Pro Bowl center
Alex Mack, churned out 170 yards with three running backs
scoring touchdowns. The Browns defense forced four turnovers, including three interceptions of Bengals quarterback
Andy Dalton, who finished with an embarrassing 2.0 passer
rating.
And Browns quarterback Brian Hoyer, playing without
three of his top receivers, improved to 9-3 as a starter. He also
won over a few more of those Cleveland fans who still believe
Manziel would be doing better.
Theres a lot of football left to be played, but the Browns are
showing signs of a team getting better by the week.
Browns safety Donte Whitner and his teammates know they
can play with anyone, but such a complete win will only boost
Clevelands esteem as the season progresses and the games become more meaningful.
Its huge, Whitner said. I think a win like last night on
a national stage in the fashion in which we won you can only
breed confidence from that. We understand that the teams that
make it to the playoffs and win and advance are the teams that
get hot in November and get hot at the right time. We just want
to get hot at the right time, and last night was a good start to
that.
Whitner grew up in Cleveland and knows what the
Browns mean to the city. He spent part of Friday at a barber
shop where more than razors were buzzing as Browns fans
talked about celebrating until the wee hours after a regularseason win. Cleveland is fired up about a team opening eyes
nationally.
It means everything to me, Whitner said. Thats the reason I came here. Anybody thats from anywhere and has any
pride about where theyre from, they would love the opportunity to come to their hometown and win. Not only win its
about the people of the city and making the people happy.
Thats why we do this. Thats why I do what I do. Thats why
its good to be home.
Pettine has been careful not to make more of Clevelands
strong start. He has preached a game-by-game ethos to his
players, reminding them that if they do their work and take
care of that weeks opponent, bigger goals are reachable the
playoffs are possible.

These seniors have left a
mark on the program, concluded Speller. They graduate having posted more wins
in their careers than any class
in Wayne Trace history. They
finished their careers with 35
victories over four years so
that is an incredible accomplishment.

FBI says it impersonated AP reporter in 2007 case

By CHris grygieL
Associated Press
SEATTLE (AP) The
FBIs creation of a fake
news story and impersonation of an Associated Press
reporter during a criminal
investigation
undermine
media credibility, blur the
lines between law enforcement and the press and raise
questions about whether the
agency followed its own
guidelines, free press advocates say.
In a letter to The New
York Times on Thursday,
FBI Director James Comey
said an agent portrayed
himself as an employee of
The Associated Press in
2007 to help catch a 15-yearold suspect accused of making bomb threats at a high
Monroe County Sheriff Dale Malone speaks at a

news conference for an update on missing Maybee
resident Chelsea Bruck, Tuesday, Nov. 4, 2014. The
officials showed a similar party from June that she
attended at the corner of Post and Williams Rds.

Volunteer searches
planned for
Michigan woman
NEWPORT, Mich. (AP)
Volunteer searches are
planned for a Michigan woman who disappeared last month
from a Halloween party.
Searches are scheduled
starting Friday morning, Saturday morning and Sunday
morning, with volunteers to
gather at the Monroe Bank
and Trust building in Newport. The nonprofit Texas
EquuSearch group is involved
in the search effort.
The Monroe County sheriffs department has said
theres no evidence that

22-year-old Chelsea Bruck
was hurt or killed, but her Oct.
26 disappearance prompted
authorities to look for her in
Michigan, Ohio and Indiana.
The party drew about
600 people and took place in
Frenchtown Township, about
35 miles southwest of Detroit. Bruck attended the party
dressed as the comic villain
Poison Ivy and was wearing
a leaf-covered top and dark
purple wig.
Inmate gets 5 more years

for Ohio prison escape
LIMA, Ohio (AP) A man who fled an Ohio prison
with a convicted school shooter and another inmate has
pleaded guilty to escape and been sentenced to five more
years behind bars.
Forty-five-year-old Clifford Opperud was sentenced
Wednesday in Allen County court. Hes already serving
time for robbery, burglary and kidnapping.
His attorney confirmed the case is resolved and didnt
have additional comment.
Authorities say Opperud, 20-year-old Chardon High
School shooter T.J. Lane and another inmate escaped a
Lima prison on Sept. 11 by scaling a fence in a recreation
yard. They were caught within hours.
The prosecutor said Lane wasnt charged with escape
because his victims families didnt want him to have an
opportunity to mock them again.
The third inmate also wont be charged. Hes already
serving a life sentence.
Businesses
(From page 1)
The Business Plan Challenge is a two-part educational
series beginning with various
workshops and secondly, the
Business Plan Competition.
The program consists of 10
hours of group instruction
workshops delivered by business consultants at Wright
State University Business Enterprise Center. In addition,
individual coaching sessions
are provided to help the new
start-up business develop the
strategies, goals and plans to
prepare for the demands of
starting a business.
Vicki Schulte, owner of
the downtown business, Once
I Was said that the things she
learned participating in the
2013 Business Plan Challenge
helped her open her store successfully.
Joining the Business Plan
Challenge made my micro
business a reality, she stated.
We ran our business for many
years from home and it was always a dream to actually be in
a brick and mortar establishment. Attending classes every
week, putting my business
plan on paper, presenting it to
the panel of judges ~ turned
that dream into reality.
Last years winner and
owner of The Embroidery
Coop, Shelly Becker, agreed.
The entire Business Plan
Challenge process, from the
Entrepreneur Fair through
the presentation of our plan,
was very educational and eyeopening. We definitely gained
a lot of knowledge while preparing a projection of the future, Becker said. She also
noted that her business used
the winnings from the Business Plan Challenge to purchase software and equipment
that has made it easier to embroider on some items, such as
the quilted Stephanie Dawn
bags which the store now carries.
Over the past three years
of the challenge, participants have been successful in
launching their new businesses with the help of the monetary award presented to the
winners of the challenge. In
2012, Juli Hamilton owner of
Something From the Garden
was awarded first place for her
outstanding business plan. In
2013, the award went to Dennis and Vicki Schulte owners
of Once I Was, and in January
2014, The Embroidery Coops
owners, Shelly Becker and Ernie Geyer took first place.
Each of the past winners
created, submitted and presented a business plan to a
panel of judges for the chance
to win up to $2500 in business
development funds.
This year the due date for
submitting business plans is
February 27, 2015 with awards
being announced in early
March 2015. For more information, contact Cindy Leis in

Development Office at (419)

school near Olympia, Washington. It was publicized last

week that the FBI forged an
AP story during its investigation, but Comeys letter
revealed the agency went
further and had an agent pretend to be a reporter for the
wire service.
Comey said the agent posing as an AP reporter asked
the suspect to review a fake
AP article about threats and
cyberattacks directed at the
school, to be sure that the
anonymous suspect was portrayed fairly.
The bogus article contained a software tool
that could verify Internet
addresses. The suspect
clicked on a link, revealing his computers location
and Internet address, which
helped agents confirm his
identity.
That technique was
proper and appropriate under
Justice Department and FBI
guidelines at the time. Today,
the use of such an unusual
technique would probably
require higher-level approvals than in 2007, but it would
still be lawful and, in a rare
case, appropriate, Comey
wrote.
Kathleen Carroll, executive editor of the AP, said the
FBIs actions were unacceptable.
This latest revelation of
how the FBI misappropriated the trusted name of The
Associated Press doubles
our concern and outrage, expressed earlier to Attorney
General Eric Holder, about
how the agencys unacceptable tactics undermine AP
and the vital distinction between the government and

the press, Carroll said in a
statement.
In a letter to the Justice
Department last week, the
AP requested Holders word
that the DOJ would never
again misrepresent itself as
the AP and asked for policies to ensure the DOJ does
not further impersonate news
organizations.
On Friday the Committee
to Protect Journalists said in
a statement it was deeply
concerned by the FBIs actions and called for a review
of policies.
The Reporters Committee
for Freedom of the Press, in
its own letter on Thursday
to Comey and Holder, asked
the agency for full disclosure
about the incident.
Pilots survival from fall is no minor miracle

By Brian meLLey
Associated Press
MOJAVE, Calif. (AP) There were
no ejection seats and no easy ways out of
SpaceShipTwo if disaster struck.
As the doomed flight rocketed past the
speed of sound some eight miles high and
then shattered seconds later, the odds of
survival were slim. Remarkably, as sections of the cockpit, fuselage, a wing and
motor rained down over the Mojave Desert and pieces of the lightweight craft tiny
enough to travel 35 miles were picked up
by the winds, a single parachute was seen
in the sky.
Pilot Peter Siebold was alive and drifting to safety.
Its no minor miracle that he did
survive and survive in relatively good
shape, Virgin Galactic chief executive
George Whitesides said this week.
How Siebold, 43, outlasted the fall
from extreme altitude a week ago while
co-pilot Mike Alsbury, 39, died is not yet
clear, but Siebold is not the first to live
through such a harrowing ordeal.
Bill Weaver has been telling a similar
story for decades.
The former Lockheed test pilot was
torn from the seat of an SR-71 Blackbird
at 78,800 feet above New Mexico on Jan.
25, 1966. The plane was going more than
triple the speed of sound.
As Weaver banked into a turn, a malfunction caused one engine to lose thrust.
He lost control of the jet and knew he
was in trouble as the plane began to pitch
and break up. He didnt have time to be
scared.
I knew we were going to just be along
for the ride, he said.
Weaver tried to radio to the reconnaissance and navigations officer in the back
seat that there was no way to safely bail
out, so they should stick with the plane
and eject when it got lower. But the severe gravitational forces made his speech
In this undated photo released

Saturday, Nov. 1, 2014, by Scaled
Composites, shows Peter Siebold,
the Director of Flight Operations
at Scaled Composites. Siebold
was piloting SpaceShipTwo on
Friday, Oct. 31, 2014, when it
exploded in flight. The surviving
pilot was identified as Siebold,
43. Siebold was to undergo
surgery, on Saturday, Nov. 1,
2014, but there were no other
details on his condition, Kern
County Sheriff Donny Youngblood
said. Siebold also is a veteran of
Scaleds spaceship test program.
(AP Photo/Scaled Composites)
unintelligible and then he blacked out.
The whole event to that point took two
to three seconds.
When Weaver regained consciousness, he first thought he was dreaming.
With the face plate on his helmet iced
over from temperatures as cold as minus
55, he could only see a hazy white light
and in a detached sense of euphoria, he
thought he was dead. He was relieved

when he realized he was alive and plunging toward Earth.
I had no idea how I got out of the airplane, he said. I had no idea how long
I had been free falling. Had no idea how
high I was or low I was.
How Siebold got out of SpaceShipTwo is also unknown, according to National Transportation Safety Board Acting Chairman Christopher Hart, who said
the pilot hadnt been interviewed because
hes recovering from injuries originally
characterized as moderate to major.
Initial findings show the Virgin Galactic plane designed to take tourists for
$250,000 joyrides beyond the edge of
Earths atmosphere, broke apart after the
crafts re-entry braking system prematurely activated during its rocket blast,
Hart said.
Alsbury had unlocked the system earlier than called for. A second lever must
be moved to engage the system, but it
deployed on its own for some unknown
reason. The craft broke up a few seconds
later.
SpaceShipTwo did not have ejection
seats, but there was an evacuation procedure.
Typically, the pilot would stay with the
controls and the co-pilot would depressurize the cabin and then they would both
unbuckle and bail out with parachutes,
said Brian Binnie, a former test pilot for
Scaled Composites, which designed and
built the craft for Virgin.
But an aircraft that violently tears
apart around you isnt something you
prepare for.
All bets are off. Now youre back to
DNA. What do you think is your next
best move? If youve been knocked out
or unconscious you dont have a next best
move, said Binnie, who flew five times
in the spaceship and knew the pilots. Peter, whatever he did, in my mind, he had
a patron saint of a particular strength or
influence.
Program
(From page 1)
We will teach family
members how to identify the
signs of post-deployment
stress, including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression and thoughts of suicide, Ulrick said. We will
give them the tools to manage
conversations with the goal
of de-escalating arguments,
negotiating family respon-
sibilities and motivating the

veteran to seek help for postdeployment stress, PTSD or
thoughts of suicide.
Ulrick said suicide is a
huge concern with 20-30 veterans in the US taking their
lives every day.
The program is supported
by a grant from Ohio Mental
Health and Addiction Services. Currently, groups are
meeting in Lima, Wapakoneta

and Kenton. The program
runs every two months and
family members are welcome
to join the groups at any time.
Peoples lives change the
very moment he or she leaves
their families for their military deployment, Ulrick explained. What will be special
about this program is that it
will help families identify is-
sues that their loved one might

endure during their time away
from home and to understand
how to give and seek professional help to keep their families together and safe.
Contact Ulrick at (419)

Zimmerman
(From page 1)
Shortly after graduation, Zimmerman joined the Air Force and after 8 1/2
weeks of gruelling basic training, she
graduated with honors.
That was the first time I graduated
with honors from anything, Zimmerman shared. It felt good.
She spent three years at McConnell
AVB and while there, she was deployed
to Kuwait and spent six months working with the Kuwaiti military. She was in
charge of going off base to search and inspect vehicles for explosive materials to
prevent them from making it on the base.
Upon her return stateside, she applied
to become a flight medic and take care of
wounded patients in flight. This require
more schooling, including water survival, Survival Resistance Evasion and Escape (SERE) and flight school. She was
then stationed at Pope Army Airfield in
North Carolina.
I was so eager to get in the air and
take care of patients and couldnt wait for
my first deployment. Before I would get
to, I had to make a couple of cool trips
to Puerto Rico and Hawaii, Zimmerman
recalled. Finally, I was given orders to
deploy but the joke was on me; they were
sending me a unit in San Antonio, Texas.
Zimmermans older brother, Sonny, a
2005 Waynesfield-Goshen grad, was in
the Army and deployed to Afghanistan
the same day.
He picked on me quite a bit during
our time in the military, as older siblings
usually do, she said with a laugh.

A short time later, she received phone
call letting her know her brothers unit
had been attacked and he had been injured but was OK.
He told his guys who were being
flown back the U.S. that his litter sister
was going to take care of them and I did,
she said. I was so honored to have these
brave men and women on my plane and
being able to take care of them.
On July 16, 2013, she got another call
Sonny had been killed in Afghanistan.
Losing a sibling has been one of
the hardest things I have ever had to
work through. I went a while without really knowing what do to without my big
brother but then an opportunity appeared
and finally, after six months, I saw a light
at the end of the tunnel, she said.
The Air Force was looking for one
representative to sing with a country music artist in the ACM Presents: An All
Star Salute to the Troops.
I was not the singer in the Air Force
but my friends talked my into applying,
she said. My audition and background
story was channeled up through hundreds
of entries and after two month of waiting,
I was finally told I was going to represent
the Air Force on stage with Kellie Pickler
at the MDM Grande in Las Vegas!
Zimmerman said the moral or her
story is she never really planned for the
paths her life has taken so far but when
the opportunities arose, she knew what
she wanted to do.
You guys dont have to know exactly

what you are going to do right after high
school, she said. Its OK to let life lead
you once in a while. Some of you know
what you want to be and what college you
want to attend and thats great. If youre
not sure, thats OK, too. Creating your
own path in life can be scary. Taking
that first step toward your own happiness
comes with many unknowns.
Zimmerman left the students with a
few quotes from Michael Eisens Creating Your Own Life Path.
This sums up my life path and I
wanted to share this with you, she said.
Most of us spend our time living a
life that was laid out for us, step by step.
Get our high school diploma, go to college/university, get a degree, get a job,
make a living to support ourselves, find a
partner, have a family, support our family, work hard so we can enjoy life later,
kids grow up and move out, retire from
our jobs and finally you can enjoy your
lifeor what is left of it!
One of the first lessons I learned was
that life is a journey, not a race, and that
every experience should be savoured
along the way, not rushed through to get
to the proverbial finish line. This allowed
me to ease my way step by step into uncharted waters, not knowing where I was

I would end up where I was supposed to
be, when I was supposed to get there.

More troops
for Iraq
WASHINGTON (AP)
President Barack Obama authorized on Friday a broad
expansion of the U.S. military mission in Iraq that
could boost the total number
of American troops there to
3,100 and spread advisory
teams and trainers across the
country, including into Anbar
province where fighting with
Islamic State militants has
been fierce.
The presidents decision to
escalate the U.S. effort in Iraq
comes just three days after
midterm elections that were
bruising for Democrats and
amid persistent arguments that
more U.S. troops are needed
to bolster the struggling Iraqi
forces. In particular, the Iraqi
government, members of Congress and others have called
for troops in Anbar in western
Iraq, where extremists have
been slaughtering men, women and children.
Obama authorized the
Pentagon to send up to 1,500
more troops to Iraq, adding to
the 1,600 previously allowed.
There are currently about
1,400 there.
The plans are all contingent on Congress approving
his nearly $5.6 billion request
to fund the expanded mission.
The troops will not be able to
deploy until legislation passes
and the president signs it.
Congress hopes to complete the defense policy bill in
the postelection, pre-holiday
session and will consider the
Iraq funding along with the
administrations request for
billions more for military operations overseas. Lawmakers
are still pressing the White
House for additional details
on how the money would be
spent.
Rear Adm. John Kirby, the
Pentagon press secretary, said
the military will set up several
sites across Iraq to train nine
Iraqi Army brigades and three
peshmerga brigades, which
are made up of Iraqi Kurdish forces. The military will
also establish two operations
centers where small advisory
teams can work with Iraqi
forces at the headquarters and
brigade levels.
Kirby said one of those
centers will be in Anbar province, where U.S. troops fought
al-Qaida extremists in brutal
fighting in 2004 to 2007, costing more than 1,000 American lives and 9,000 Iraqi lives,
mainly in the cities of Fallujah
and Ramadi.
STORY OF THE DAY
US economy
fueling strong
hiring if not pay
By CHRISTOPHER S. RUGABER
AP Economics Writer
WASHINGTON (AP) Healthy job growth in the United
States has reached a level of consistency unseen in nearly two
decades.
In the same week that voters signaled discontent with the
U.S. economy, the government issued a report that showed
employers have added at least 200,000 jobs for nine straight
months the longest such stretch since 1995.
Combine it with an unemployment rate that has slid to 5.8
percent the lowest since 2008 and the picture that emerged
Friday was of a job market gaining increasing distance from the
recession that officially ended nearly 5 years ago.
The job gain for October was a solid 214,000, on top of a
combined 31,000 more in August and September than the government had previously estimated.
The steady improvement contrasts with the struggles of
economies overseas, a key reason the Federal Reserve is withdrawing its stimulus just as other central banks ramp up theirs.
This week, for example, the European Central Bank opened the
door wider for further help for a eurozone economy that may be
on the brink of another recession.
The U.S. job market is hardly without its own weaknesses.
Americans average hourly pay rose only slightly last month, a
negative note in an otherwise solid report. Stagnant wages have
been a chronic weakness in the job market since the recession
ended.
Voters listed the economy as their top concern in Tuesdays elections, and the sluggish pace of pay growth was a
likely factor. Average hourly pay rose 3 cents in October
to $24.57. Thats just 2 percent above the average wage 12

months earlier and barely ahead of a 1.7 percent inflation
rate.
Some economists say, though, that theyre seeing early
signs of rising pay, especially as more jobs emerge in higher-paying sectors. If so, more workers could begin to enjoy
thicker paychecks in coming months. A broad measure of
pay and fringe benefits, which captures bonus pay that the
jobs reports gauges miss, has risen in the past six months at
its fastest pace since 2008.
We think that there is plenty of evidence to suggest that
wage growth is accelerating, said Paul Ashworth, an economist
at Capital Economics.
The U.S. unemployment rate fell in October even as more
Americans began looking for work. That suggests that more
out-of-work people were encouraged by the brightening jobs
picture.
SAN FRANCISCO (AP)

No sooner had authorities
announced the shuttering of
an alleged illegal online drug
bazaar than another popped up
claiming to take its place.
Welcome to the dark Web,
an increasingly popular corner
of the Internet where thousands
of computer users from around
the globe interact anonymously
and, in many cases, illegally.
On Thursday, the U.S. Department of Justice charged a
26-year-old San Francisco man
with operating Silk Road 2.0,
an anonymous website that authorities say rang up $8 million
in monthly drug sales.
On Friday, an underground
website calling itself Silk Road
3.0 Reloaded claimed to be
open for business on the TOR
network, which is linked globally through special browsers
that encrypt Internet traffic.
Several other websites on the
TOR network also claimed to
be open for drug transactions.
The dark Web poses new
and formidable challenges
for law enforcement agencies
around the world that have been
dealing for decades with more
conventional international drug
trafficking. The reach and anonymity of these 21st century Internet operations is difficult to
penetrate.
Immigration dispute erupts at White House lunch

WASHINGTON (AP) A White
House lunch aiming for cooperation
boiled into a fresh dispute with newly
empowered Republicans over immigration reform Friday, with GOP leaders warning President Barack Obama
to his face not to take unilateral action.
The president stood unflinchingly by his
plan to act.
Republicans attending the postelection lunch at Obamas invitation said
they asked him for more time to work on
legislation, but the president said his patience was running out. He underscored
his intent to act on his own by the end
of the year if they dont approve legislation to ease deportations before then and
send it to him to sign.
The Republicans approach, three
days after they resoundingly won control of the Senate in midterm elections,
seemed to fall on deaf ears, Sen. John
Cornyn of Texas said in a telephone interview. The president instead of being
contrite or saying in effect to America,
I hear you, as a result of the referendum on his policies that drove this last
election, he seems unmoved and even

defiant.
I dont know why he would want to
sabotage his last two years as president
by doing something this provocative,
said Cornyn. Senate Republican Leader
Mitch McConnell earlier this week said
the presidents stance was like waving a
red flag in front of a bull.
Obama press secretary Josh Earnest
said there was no reason that executive
action on immigration should kill opportunities for the president and Republicans to find common ground.
I could stand up here and say Republicans to vote once again for the 50th
time to repeal the Affordable Care Act,
that thats playing with fire or waving a
red flag in front of a bull. Im not really
sure what that means, Earnest said.
The White House said lawmakers went home from the meeting
with a parting gift a six-pack of
beer brewed at the White House. The
White House also said Obama laid out
three areas where he and Congress
could work together before the end
of the year emergency funding to
combat the Ebola outbreak, approval
of a federal budget and quick action

on spending to fight the Islamic State
militant group.
House Speaker John Boehners
office said he told Obama he was
ready to work with the president on a
new authorization for military force
against the IS group if the president
worked to build bipartisan support.
The White House announced soon after lunch ended that the U.S. was sending as many as 1,500 more troops to
Iraq to serve as advisers, trainers and
security personnel as part of the mission. Obama is also asking Congress
for more than $5 billion to help fund
the fight.
Fridays two-hour meeting was
tense at times, according to a senior
House Republican aide. Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid, about to lose
his grip on the upper chamber, barely
said a word, the aide said. The aide said
at one point as House Speaker John
Boehner was making an argument on
immigration, Obama responded that
his patience was running out and Vice
President Joe Biden interrupted to ask
how long Republicans needed. Obama

angrily cut Biden off, the aide said.
The aide was not authorized to describe the back-and-forth publicly by
name and spoke only on condition of
anonymity.
Publicly Obamas tone was more
upbeat as he opened the gathering. He
pledged to work on ending long-running partisan gridlock and to be open
to Republican ideas. The president
said the lunch was a chance to explore where we can make progress
after Americans showed in the midterm elections that they wanted to see
more accomplished in Washington.
Theyd like to see more cooperation, Obama said, sitting at the middle of 13 lawmakers in the Old Family Dining Room set with the Truman
china. And I think all of us have the
responsibility, me in particular, to try
to make that happen.
Reporters were ushered out before
any lawmaker spoke or the lunch of
sea bass was served. Republican descriptions of the meeting were provided after they returned to Capitol Hill.
A new Supreme Court challenge for Obamacare

WASHINGTON (AP)
The Supreme Court agreed
Friday to hear a new challenge
to President Barack Obamas
health care law a case that
threatens subsidies that help
millions of low- and middleincome people afford their
health insurance premiums.
The justices said they will
review a federal appeals court
ruling that upheld IRS regulations that allow health-insurance tax credits under the
Affordable Care Act for consumers in all 50 states. Opponents argue that most of the
subsidies are illegal.
The long-running political
and legal campaign to overturn or limit the 2010 health
overhaul will be making its
second appearance at the Supreme Court. The justices upheld the heart of the law in a
5-4 decision in 2012 in which
Chief Justice John Roberts
provided the decisive vote.
The case probably will be
argued the first week in March,
with a decision expected by late

June.
White House press secretary
Josh Earnest promised a vigorous defense before the high
court.
This lawsuit reflects just
another partisan attempt to undermine the Affordable Care
Act and to strip millions of
American families of tax credits that Congress intended for
them to have, Earnest said.
In the appeal accepted Friday, opponents of the subsidies
argue that the court should resolve the issue soon because it
involves billions of dollars in
public money.
The need for a quick and
final resolution of this question is undeniable. This subsidies-for-everyone rule affects
nearly every person across the
country, health insurance policyholders, workers and employers, taxpayers, and state
and local governments, said
Sam Kazman, general counsel
of the Competitive Enterprise

Institute, which is paying for

the legal challenges to the
health care law.
The health care law provides
taxpayer-subsidized
private
health insurance for people
who dont have access to coverage on the job. More than 7
million people are currently
enrolled and most are getting
help, which is keyed to household income and the cost of a
benchmark plan.
The issue at the Supreme
Court is whether the wording
of the law limits insurance tax
credits only to consumers who
live in states that have set up
their own insurance markets,
known as exchanges.
Only 16 states have set
up their own exchanges, the
Obama administration said in
court papers. In the other 34
states, more than 4.5 million
people are receiving subsidies
to pay their insurance premiums. And the aid is considerable, covering an average of
76 percent of the premiums.
Customers now pay an average of $82 on total monthly
premiums averaging $346.
The federal subsidy of $264
a month makes up the difference.
What made the courts intervention on Friday surprising
was the lack of disagreement
among federal appeals courts
that typically is a requirement
for Supreme Court review.
Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg
cited the absence of conflicting rulings when the justices
rejected gay marriage appeals
last month.
But at least four justices,
needed to grant review, apparently agreed with the challengers that the issue is important
enough to decide now.
