Eco-dev group looking

for local leadership
DELPHOS The Delphos Community and
Business Development meeting drew close to
30 residents, business owners and city officials
to the Delphos Eagles Tuesday night to discuss
the structure, vision and mission of the organization.
The first key issue addressed was a topic
that has come up in the two previous meetings, which was the water issue. After a meeting with Delphos Safety Service Director
Shane Coleman, facilitators Cindy Metzger,
First Federal Banks Community Banking

Center manager, and Peter Ricker, DHI Media
advertising manager, gave their views.
It is an asset and Delphos has a big capacity
that can supply a lot of people, Ricker said.
We have what we have an abundance of
good water we have to deal with it and move
forward, Metzger said.
Discussion turned to finding a point person
to lead the initiative. Ricker said the ideal candidate would be an individual who has lived in
Delphos the majority of their life and understands the nuances of the city.

COLUMBUS A delay
in Ohios early voting schedule appears to be felt most
by candidates with political
futures at stake and their
constituents eager to cast
their ballots as soon as possible.
Democratic gubernatorial contender Ed FitzGerald
and his running mate planned
to vote early Tuesday and
encourage others to do the
same. But his campaign canceled the plans after an order
from a divided U.S. Supreme
Court put off the start of early
voting in the swing state by
a week.
In their 5-4 vote, the justices on Monday granted a
request from Ohio officials
to delay a judges ruling that
had lengthened the states
early voting schedule and
had moved early voting to
Tuesday for the November
election.
Voting will now start Oct.
7. Ohioans can vote absentee
by mail or in person ahead of
Election Day.
The high courts order
came as Gov. John Kasich
and other prominent Ohio
Republicans sought a campaign boost from New Jersey
Gov. Chris Christie at a get-
out-the-vote rally in suburban Cleveland. The gathering

took place Monday in suburban Independence, the political backyard of FitzGerald,
who is the Cuyahoga County
executive.
Just how disruptive the
schedule delay is remains to
be seen.
At least four people
arrived Tuesday morning to
vote at the Franklin County
Board of Elections site in
Columbus, while three others called to complain about
the court ruling, said board
spokesman Ben Piscitelli.
In Hamilton County, home
to Cincinnati, an elections
official said no one showed
up in the morning to cast an
early ballot. Several county
boards reported the same.
Elections officials in
Lucas County, which includes
Toledo, put up signs at their
voting center notifying voters
about the change in hours.
We stayed late last night,
posted the new hours and
took down all the old hours,
said Gina Kaczala, director
of the Lucas County Board of
Elections.
Republican Secretary of
State Jon Husted reissued
voting times following the
high courts order.

His schedule scraps evening hours and an additional Sunday required by
U.S. District Judge Peter
Economus decision. Ohioans
will have two Saturdays and
the Sunday before the Nov.
4 election to cast an early
ballot.
On Tuesday, Husteds
office said almost 583,000
Ohioans have requested
absentee ballots so far.
The American Civil
Liberties Union of Ohio
brought the lawsuit in May
on behalf of several black
churches and the states chapters of the NAACP and the
League of Women Voters.
The groups are challenging a directive from Husted
that set uniform early voting
times and restricted weekend
and evening hours. The plaintiffs also want to overturn a
GOP-backed state law eliminating so-called golden week,
a time when people could
both register to vote and cast
ballots. Without those days,
early voting would typically
start 28 or 29 days before
Election Day, instead of the
previous 35-day window.

DeWine, a Republican
running for re-election, said
Monday during a Gannett editorial board meeting that a
law is also needed to provide immunity to doctors
who provide legal support
in the execution process such
as consulting on drug dosage
amounts.
Executions are on hold
until February after a federal
judge temporarily stopped
them as questions mounted
about the effectiveness of
Ohios new, two-drug execution process.

COLUMBUS Ohio Secretary of State
Jon Husted reminds Ohioans they have until

be delivered in person to boards of elections no
later than the close of the polls on Election Day.
They may not be returned at polling locations.
Those who have not yet requested their
absentee ballots have until noon Nov. 1 to
request one by mail, though they should do

plenty of time to receive, complete
and return their ballot. Voters can
get an absentee ballot by contacting

more information or by downloading an absentee ballot request form
at MyOhioVote.com.

Northwest Physical Therapy offers free screenings

for National Physical Therapy Month in October
COLUMBUS Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine
announced Tuesday the formation of a new task force to
address issues regarding the real-time reporting of drug
overdose deaths in Ohio.
The Overdose Prevention Task Force, which held its
first meeting Tuesday morning, is chaired by Montgomery
County Coroner and Ohio State Coroners Association
Chief Forensic Officer Kent Harshbarger, M.D.
Attorney General DeWine formed the task force after
efforts by his office to gather
up-to-date statewide statistics on heroin overdose deaths
revealed that Ohio lacks a
standard protocol for classifying drug overdose fatalities.
There is also no method in
place to publicly report overdose deaths in real time.
It is critical that law
enforcement, policy makers and members of the public have up-to-date access to
data regarding drug overdose
trends so that we can address
these problems as they are
happening, said Attorney
DeWine
General DeWine. We have a
very diverse group of representatives on this task force who will look at what needs to
happen to allow uniform data to be readily available.
Statistics gathered by the Attorney Generals Office
from coroners offices in Ohio revealed that heroin killed
910 people in 2013; however, because tracking and classification methods vary across the state, the actual number of 2013 heroin overdose deaths is believed to exceed
1,000 lives lost. Other than this data, the most recent
public statewide data regarding opiate overdose deaths is
in regards to fatalities that occurred in 2012.
I am honored to be a part of this effort to improve
upon the already unique and professional death investigation system in the State of Ohio as it relates to heroin
overdose deaths, said Dr. Harshbarger. The Coroners
Association is looking forward to working in partnership
with public health and the others on the assembled team
as real-time data collection allows for emerging trends to
be better understood. Also, I am personally grateful for
the support offered by Attorney General DeWine in this
and other initiatives to improve death investigations.
In addition to Dr. Harshbarger, the 15-member task
force also includes the following representatives from
the Ohio State Coroners Association, Ohio Department
of Health, Ohio Association of Chiefs of Police, Buckeye
State Sheriffs Association, Ohio Prosecuting Attorneys
Association and Ohio Attorney Generals Office:
David Applegate, M.D., Union County Coroner
Christie Beeghly, Ohio Department of Health
Jennifer Biddinger, Ohio Attorney Generals Office
Tedd Frazier, Jackson County Sheriff
Jonathan Fulkerson, Ohio Attorney Generals Office
William Goslee, Logan County Prosecutor
Joseph Morbitzer, Westerville Police Chief
Morris Murray, Defiance County Prosecutor
Judy Nagy, Ohio Department of Health
John Paulson, Ohio Department of Health
Stewart Ryckman, M.D., Richland County Coroner
James Sabin, Madison County Sheriff
Kevin Sharrett, M.D., Greene County Coroner
Brandon Standley, Bellefontaine Police Department
Following their discussions, members of the task
force will issue their recommendations for strengthening current overdose death classification and tracking
procedures.
OTTAWA Northwest Physical Therapy, Inc., will offer free therapy screens to the public
during the month of October. These screens will be available at all four outpatient locations in
Delphos, Ottawa, Bluffton and Lima.
A physical therapy screening takes approximately 10-15 minutes and will be performed by
a licensed clinician. A therapy screening helps identify issues that may be causing unnecessary
pain.
People dont often realize that the pain they deal with everyday doesnt have to be a part
of their life, stated Wanda Dean, physical therapist and owner of Northwest Physical Therapy.
A physical therapist is a highly-trained medical professional that is able to identify key factors
that may be attributing to chronic back pain, headaches, knee pain, etc. Once these factors are
identified, the therapist works with the patient to provide long-term relief through education
and very specific interventions.

Ohio Wal-Mart where cops

shot man pulls air rifles
CINCINNATI (AP) Pellet guns have been pulled from

shelves at the Ohio store where a 22-year-old man holding
an air rifle was fatally shot by police, a Wal-Mart Stores Inc.
spokesman said Tuesday.
Spokesman Brian Nick said the move last week at the
Beavercreek location near Dayton was store-specific, not a
change in national policy for the worlds largest retailer. He
said the stores customers can still buy air guns, although they
are not on display. The store also continues to sell firearms,
which were already kept locked up, he said.
There are no national changes, Nick said. It was a decision that the store made.
A special grand jury in the racially charged case decided
last week that the Beavercreek police officers actions Aug. 5
were justified. Police responded to a 911 call that a man was
waving what appeared to be a rifle, and officers have said John
Crawford III was shot after he didnt respond to repeated commands to drop his weapon.
It turned out to be an air rifle hed taken off a shelf.
Crawford family attorney Michael Wright called WalMarts action about eight weeks too late.
He and the family have said Crawford did nothing wrong
and that it was incomprehensible that police werent indicted.
In written narratives about the shooting, two Beavercreek
police officers stated that Crawford was holding a weapon.
Officer Sean Williams wrote that he believed his life and the
lives of others in the crowded store were in immediate danger
when he fired at Crawford. Sgt. David Darkow described what
Crawford held as appearing to be a black assault rifle.

Vantage students help with Day of Caring

INFORMATION

VAN WERT Even
Mother Nature couldnt
keep Vantage students and
staff from helping out at the
16th annual United Way Day
of Caring. Sure, there were
two- and 3-hour delays for
fog, and even a few school
cancellations, but it all came
together. Vantage is proud to
have been part of such a successful day.
In a new twist this year, the
Medical Office Management
students and their teacher, Mrs. Paula VanTilburg,
directed the schools food
drive blitz challenge with
Braun Industries that was
held on Student Appreciation
Day.
Braun dropped off an
ambulance and teams of
Vantage students and staff
competed to stuff the ambulance with food items. At the
same time, Braun employees were stuffing an ambulance in their parking lot also.
Although Vantage won the
competition, the real winner
was the Salvation Army Food
Pantry. Over 4,500 items
were donated by Vantage
and Braun in one morning.
The Vantage Medical Office
Management team donated
the most items and won a
pizza party.
An additional $1,600 was
raised to purchase more groceries. Vantage students and
staff were able to contribute
over 5,000 non-perishable
food items to the Salvation
Army this year.
Providing some muchneeded muscle to load and
unload the donated food
on and off the collection
trucks were students from
the Vantage Building and
Grounds program and their
teacher, Mr. Larry Mengerink.
The Vantage Student
Ambassadors, along with
teacher aide, Mrs. Nancy
Keith, and American Studies
teacher, Mr. Tony Unverferth,
worked at the Salvation
Army Food Drive helping
to unload, sort, count, box
and store donated food items
from around the county.

DELPHOS Got some
time to kill after school but
before supper?
School is back into full swing
and so is the teen room at the
Delphos Public Library. Grades
six and up are welcome to join
the fun 3-5 p.m. Mondays,
Tuesdays and Wednesdays in
the library basement.
While it can get a little
crowded some days, some
teens may still be wondering what exactly happens in
the teen room after school.
The answer is: more than you
think! Mondays are always
movies. Then on Tuesdays
and Wednesdays you might
find teens constructing elaborate worlds with Minecraft on
the Xbox. Others play cards,
make crafts, draw and even
do homework.
If there are enough people, a
game of Frog Murder or Wink
Murder usually breaks out.
For those teens who just cannot make it after school, there
are other scheduled activities.
In October, teens can get
how to work well with others. Being able to give help

without expecting anything
back in return is an important
lesson in life.
Thank you to all Vantage

blood to help make this special day a success in Van Wert

LIMA - Rhodes State
College has received a $1
million grant to increase
industrial maintenance technology training in the tool
and die and food science technology industries. Dr. Debra
McCurdy, president of Rhodes
State College, announced the
award Monday.
The four-year grant, from
the U.S. Department of
Labor, was part of $15 million awarded to a consortium
of 11 Ohio two-year colleges
focused on providing additional training support for
advanced manufacturing. The
consortium will be led by
Lorain County Community
College.
This was a significant
opportunity for us to partner
with other two-year institutions, McCurdy said. This
is really a part of a vision for
expanded collaboration coming from the college presidents working together.
McCurdy added that the
initiative supports Governor
John Kasichs vision for
workforce development and
it really is all about skill
development and how we can
use our resources to provide
a competitive edge for our
trained workforce.
The $15 million is part of
$450 million awarded during

the fourth round of grants
from the Trade Adjustment
Assistance
Community
College and Career Training
program. Including Mondays
announcement, about 700
colleges nationwide have
received money since its
inception.
Dr. Matthew Kinkley,
executive
director
of
Workforce and Economic
Development and Continuing
Education, said the grant will
allow Rhodes to help emerging workers and incumbent
workers to take the next step
in their skill development.
Rhodes will use the funds
to hire full-time and parttime faculty and staff and
purchase equipment for
training for credit and noncredit courses. The goal is to
create hands-on and workbased advanced manufacturing training programs and
opportunities.
Within the past two
years, Rhodes State has
received more than $2.6 million in grants for equipment
and training initiatives in
advanced manufacturing.
McCurdy said in addition
to working with industry partners in advanced manufacturing, the college has been
developing more initiatives in
the culinary arts, food science
and health sciences areas.

A lovely Tuesday evening! It was a chilly

41 degrees this morning but warmed up into
the 70s
Right now it is pretty quiet in this house.
Six of our children decided to go the four
miles to sister Emma and Jacobs house.
Some rode the ponies
and some biked. They
wanted to go see
Jacobs new pony.
Joseph volunteered
to stay home and do
the evening chores.
Elizabeth stayed to
help me with supper.
On our menu tonight
will be fish, French
fries and onion rings.
That is always a favorite meal around here.
The wedding for niece Elizabeth and
Samuel is now over. We wish them Gods
blessings as they join hands for life. They had
a beautiful wedding day. Barbecued chicken,
mashed potatoes, gravy, chicken and noodles,
dressing, mixed vegetables, lettuce salad, carrot salad, homemade bread, butter, strawberry
jam, celery sticks and Nothings were on the
menu for dinner. Nothings are a sweet, thin
pastry that has been deep-fried. Dessert was
cake, cinnamon pudding, zucchini bars, a
variety of cookies, mixed fruit and pies
cherry, Dutch apple, pecan and vanilla crumb.
In the evening smoked sausage was added
to the menu. My job was to help with the
dressing. One hundred eggs were put into the
dressing. I will share the recipe with you readers, but I had to reduce the recipe of 20 eggs
down to 5 eggs so it will be easier for smaller
batches.
There was plenty of food left over. Its
always easier to have too much than not
enough. It is probably a big relief for sister Liz
and Levi to have this over with. A lot of work
is involved in preparing for a wedding.
The day before the wedding, daughter
Verena and I traveled the two hours to Berne,
Ind., to help prepare food for the wedding. A
group of us helped make the Nothings, baked
80 pies, peeled potatoes, and chopped a lot
of vegetables such as celery, carrots, onions,
cauliflower, broccoli and radishes. This makes
it easier to prepare salads, dressing, etc. On
the day of the wedding, carrot salad was also
prepared in serving bowls.
In other news, my husband, Joe, and sons

Benjamin, Joseph and Kevin cleared out one
of our gardens and hauled manure on it. It is
now ready to till, and we will plant a cover
crop. In the other garden we still have tomatoes, but otherwise I think everything is done
for the season. We had a nice crop of cabbage
this year, but our potatoes didnt do so well.
The boys and
daughter Lovina built
a campout area by the
big tree in the middle
of our cornfield earlier
this summer when the
corn was short. They
had a path through the
corn to their camp.
If I called for them,
they could hear me.
Sometimes they would
go back there to read.
Since it wont be too
long before the corn is harvested, they decided
to take down their camp for the winter.
Gods blessings to all!

Bearcats down Wildcats in 5-set marathon

By LARRY HEIING
DHI Media Correspondent
news@delphosherald.com
SPENCERVILLE The Northwest

Conference volleyball match between host
Spencerville and Jefferson Tuesday night
at Spencerville wasnt a typical bump, set,
spike, fast-paced high school contest.
It did feature incredible digs and
hustle for balls to keep the volley going
until the other team made a mistake.
The two teams committed a total of 68
unforced errors as the Bearcats survived
the 2-hour marathon: 25-20,
25-19, 21-25, 21-25, 15-11.
The start of the match set
the tone for the evening as the
first four points were scored on
unforced errors as the Bearcats
led 3-1. The Wildcats tied
the score on a punch return by Macy
Wallace and a Danielle Harman tip.
Spencerville led
20-15 with aces by Cierra Adams,
Megan Miller and Grace Hollar. Delphos,
meanwhile, got aces by Claire Thompson
and Wallace. Jeffersons Sarah Miller and
Thompson recorded assists as Andrea
Geise got her second and third kills
of the first set but it wasnt enough as
Spencerville got the win.
The Bearcats got on the board first
in the second set on a block by Katie
Merriman. Tiffany Works kill with an
assist by Schylar Miller gave the hosts
the early lead, 3-1. Jefferson fought
back to tie the set on a Geise kill with
the set by Brooke Culp. The Lady Cats

opened up a 3-point lead until consecutive aces by Megan Miller and a block
by Schylar Miller knotted the score at
nine. Spencerville took control of the set
from that point and won it with the combination of Schylar Miller setting
to Merriman for the kill.
Wallaces kill got the Wildcats
going in the third set as they lead
2-0. Spencerville took the lead
with a 6-0 run, culminating with
an ace by Schylar Miller. Jefferson came
back to even the score at 10 on a soft tapper by Wallace and a Culp tip.
Both teams fought with long volleys
back and forth but Jefferson was able
to open up a lead with a Wallace kill
and an ace by Miller. The Bearcats cut
the deficit with kills by Megan Miller
and Hollar. After Jefferson coach Joy
DeVelvis called time, the Wildcats scored
the next four points on kills by Thompson
and Devyn Carder, a Thompson ace and a
Culp tip as the visitors took set three.
Spencerville jumped out to a 4-0 lead
in the next set before Jefferson came
back to even the set. The set remained
close as the two teams were again deadlocked 13 all. Jefferson took the lead for
good with an assist by Culp to Miller for
the kill and the Lady Cats forced a fifth
and deciding set with the 4-point win.
Fatigue in the ultimate set may have
become a factor as Merriman landed
an ace for the Bearcats and Jeffersons
Wallace scorched an ace of her own.
The next seven points were on unforced
errors as Jefferson clung to a 6-5 lead.

Spencerville appeared to tie the score on
a block by Work but an alert reaction by
Jefferson kept the ball alive as Wallaces
return fell in for a point. Work was perfect on her next seven serves, including
an ace, as Spencerville rallied
to lead 13-8. Another ace for
the Bearcats by Adams gave the
Bearcats an exciting 3-2 victory
over their conference foe.
I give a lot of credit to
Spencerville as they came out ready to play
tonight, DeVelvis said after the long match.
We came out flat but we stepped it up with
our backs to the wall and made a great comeback.
Jefferson had balanced scoring with
Geise (8 kills), Wallace (7 kills) and Culp
and Carder (6 kills each). Thompson and
Miller each had 14 digs.
Spencerville Coach Shelby Cox described
her teams effort as scrappy: We had way
too many hitting errors but our defense hung
in there and made some great plays.
The Millers sparked the Bearcat defense
as Schylar recorded 37 digs and Megan
had 26. Megan also had 10 kills and was
46-of-50 hitting. Hollar and Merriman each
scored with seven kills apiece.
The next game for Jefferson (3-11,
0-6 NWC) is home to Allen East 5:30
p.m. Thursday, while Spencerville
(6-12, 3-4 NWC) will be at LCC.
The junior varsity squads also battled
as Jefferson won the first set 25-17 but
Spencerville won the final two sets-2517 and 25-20.
Elida, Kalida boys draw in soccer

By JIM METCALFE
DHI Media Sports Editor
jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com
ELIDA Elida had the

better of the first half Tuesday
night under the lights of the
Elida Athletic Complex.
Its opponent, Kalida, had
the better in the second 40 minutes.
Thats why their
boys soccer tussle
ended up in a 2-2 tie.
Both Elida head
man Tom Thomas and Kalida
mentor Mark Czubik agreed
it was a tale of two halves.
Its disappointing to lose
a 2-goal lead at the half after
playing so well the first half
but you could tell we were
showing the effects of playing
last night at Ottawa-Glandorf.
We lost our legs as the match
wore on; we are in the midst
of six games in 10 days,
Thomas explained. Kalida
put on the pressure the second
half. However, our Achilles

heel all season has been not
finishing opportunities. We
create a lot of scoring chances
for ourselves but dont finish
them off consistently enough
and it comes back to bite us,
like it did tonight.
Czubik acknowledged his
opponents weariness.
They played a
very tough opponent
the night before; Im
not taking anything
away from our effort but that
is just tough to do for them,
Czubik explained. We did
not play very well the first
half but I credit Elida for a
lot of that. The second half,
we could have not showed up
but we came out ready to go.
I am proud of that effort by
the kids. We competed much
better and made better decisions with the ball and what
we did with it. You have to
remember were dealing with
15- to 17-year-olds and they

will make mistakes; our only
focus is improving every day
in all those areas.
Elida (6-3-3) had two
prime shots from senior
Adam Ordel early in the
opening half: at 37:20,
when his 14-yard blast
was denied by Wildcat
(6-1-6) senior keeper Brent
Hovest (3 saves vs. 5 shots
on-goal the first half); and 20
ticks later, when his 18-yarder was stymied.
Kalida had its first opening at 29:29 when Drew
Hovest took a chance from
well out on the left side that
floated over the crossbar.
The hosts scored at 24:07.
Senior Jerod Houston got possession in the middle of the pitch
in his offensive end, maneuvered to the right post and lofted
a 20-yarder over Hovest and into
the net for a 1-0 edge.
Kalidas first shot on-goal
was at 22:25 when senior Luke
Local Roundup
Langhals tried a header from

10 yards but senior netminder
Garrett Brinkman (7 saves vs.
10 shots on-goal) was there.
Elida nearly went up 2-0 at
2:20 when senior Chase
Watson showed good
patience in working for
a 12-yarder but Hovest
deflected it away.
They did get that 2-goal
edge at 1:48 when junior
Gaerid Littler beat Hovest on
a 12-yarder.
In the second half, Kalida
began to take advantage of
Elidas clearly tiring unit, even
though Elida had a couple of
openings early in the half.
At 36:43, Houstons 30-yarder was punched away by new
Kalida keeper, junior Nathan
Meyers (2 saves vs. 3 shots).
At 32:28, Watson had
another opening from 16
yards in front but a defender
was there to knock it wide.

Grove sweeps Lady Jays in volleyball

By LARRY HEIING
DELPHOS Columbus Grove traveled to Delphos on Monday evening for
a non-league volleyball matchup with St.
Johns at Robert A. Arnzen Gymnasium.
The Bulldogs went home victorious
after winning a tight match in three sets:
25-22, 25-23, 25-23.
The contest began as both teams
fought to a 14-all tie before kills by Kristin
Wynn and Madison Vorhees opened up
a 4-point lead for the Bulldogs. Maddie
Buettners slam stopped the Grove run
but a soft tapper by Vorhees helped the
Bulldogs maintain the slim lead. The
Blue Jays cut the lead in half with a
kill by Hayley Jettinghoff and a Olivia
Kahny ace. Columbus Grove outscored
St. Johns 4-1 to set up set point but the
Blue Jays scored on a Rebekah Fischer
kill and an ace by Ally Gerberick to keep
it interesting. Wynn stepped up again to
win it for the Bulldogs with her fifth kill
since the last tie at 14.
The Blue Jays jumped up to a 10-1
lead to begin the second set as Madison
Ellis served up an ace, Fischer put up
a block and Maddie Pohlman notched
an ace. Columbus Grove began to chip
away at the lead as Hope Schroeder
scored on a soft tapper and a kill off an
assist by Becca Endicott. The 9-1 rally
by the Bulldogs continued as Endicott
landed a tap, Schroeder scored on a
cross-court return and a kill by Vorhees
to cut the deficit to one. The Blue Jays
fought back with a kill by Buettner with
an assist by Maya Gerker, a block by
Ellis and a Jettinghoff kill, with the lead
growing back to five on kills by Kahny
and Pohlman that was set up spectactular digs by Kennedy Clarkson and
Gerker. Unfazed, the Bulldogs battled
back to even the score and 21 and went
on to win as Schroeder fired an ace and
a soft touch by Vorhees landed between
the Jays defenders.
The third set had a total of 10 tied
scores and the biggest lead by either team
was no more than four points. The last
even score was at 18 as Columbus Grove

took the lead for good on a kill by Carlee
McCluer. Three unforced errors in a row
by St. Johns forced a timeout by coach
Carolyn Dammeyer to stop the Bulldogs
momentum. Pohlman smacked a kill but
miscommunication by St. Johns on the
next play kept the lead at four. The duo of
Briana Glass setting to Wynn for the kill
set up match point. Once again, the Blue
Jays rallied under pressure to pull within
two before Schroeders kill won the set
and match for the Bulldogs.
We started slow in each game,
said Bulldog coach Susan Jones. But
we kept control and stayed focused. We
arent known as a tipping team but we
used the tip tonight to score points when
we needed them as we did a good job
finding the holes in their defense.
Columbus Grove (11-3) was led by
Wynn with 11 kills and 5 blocks. Other
leaders for the Bulldogs: Vorhees (8
kills, 5 blocks), Schroeder (8 kills, 11
digs), Glass (13 assists) and Sydney

McCluer (11 digs).
Coach Dammeyer was disappointed:
We just couldnt finish each game after
starting out with leads in all three. We
also lost back row player Jessica Geise
to injury and she couldnt return. I did
see a lot of good things out of the young
bench players that stepped in and contributed on many good plays.
Buettner paced the Blue Jays with
nine kills and eight blocks. St. Johns
other top players: Kahny (6 kills), Ellis
(3 kills, 3 blocks), Fischer (4 blocks),
Gerker (12 assists), Colleen Schulte (10
kills) and Kestley Hulihan (16 digs).
Columbus Grove has games against
Bluffton, Ada and Pandora-Gilboa this week.
The next game for St. Johns (7-10)
will be Thursday at home against Minster
in Midwest Athletic Conference action.
The junior varsity match went to
Columbus Grove as well, 25-16 and 25-12.
Lady Lancers triple-up visiting Ada

By BRIAN BASSETT
MIDDLE POINT The

Lincolnview Lady Lancer
soccer team has made strong
defense a point of emphasis
all season long and it showed
Monday evening in a 6-2 win
over visiting Ada at Lancer
field.
Lincolnview held the
Lady Bulldogs to two goals
on only seven shots-on-goal
all evening en route to the
Northwest Conference victory.
Weve been working
really hard on our defense,
marking up and pushing up,
and getting back all at the
same time. The defense did
a really good job tonight. I
think the shots-on-goal shows
that, said Lincolnview coach
Mark McCleery.
The Lady Lancer (5-7, 3-2
NWC) offense was nearly
as effective as the defense,
recording 17 shots-on-goal
and possessing the ball for a
majority of the match.
It was a little bit disappointing, explained Ada
coach Marty Clum. We came
Soccer
out of the last two matches

playing position-ball much
better than we had been.
Today we kind of fell apart.
We got that first goal and
started running. But as soon
as the Lancers put one in on
use we kind of panicked.
The first goal of the
match came off the foot of
senior Lincolnview midfielder Hannah McCleery at
the 35:32 mark of the
first. The goal marked
the beginning of a big
night for McCleery.
Ada countered six
minutes later, however, when senior midfielder
Terra Hunter got the ball at
midfield and took it all the
way down for a goal, firing it
in from 15 yards out, knotting
the match at one.
The Lady Bulldogs (2-10,
1-5 NWC) suffered a tough
loss in the early minutes of
the first half when junior
sweeper Sidney Faine took
a ball to the face off the foot
of Ada sophomore keeper
Rielyn Castle. Faine was lost
for the match.
After the McCleery goal,
the match experienced a
22-plus minute scoreless
(Continued from page 6)
Elida had one more shot on-goal the second half: at 27:01,
when Ordels 16-yarder was deflected away by Meyers.
Kalida then started to assume command and had more
chances at the goal.
At 19:13, junior Austin Swift from near the left sideline
crossed well forward to senior Devin Kortokrax on the right
post, from where his 8-yard header found the left side of the

The Lady Lancers

ball to Thatcher. Thatcher
then found senior defender
Claire Clay who snuck the
ball just under the crossbar
for a goal with 42.7 seconds
to play in the half.
The Lady Lancers opened
the second half with a goal
from McCleery at the 38:45
mark when the midfielder

around 10 yards out.
The Lady Bulldogs then

36:37 mark when Hunter had
the ball deep in Lincolnview

territory. However, Lady
Lancer freshman goalie
Maddie Gorman came way
out of the box to take the
ball out from under Hunter to
preserve the lead.
McCleery picked up a hattrick with a goal at the 27:12

just over a minute later, at the
26:09 mark, when she put one
in 10 yards out off her left foot to

Meanwhile, Ada earned a
free kick from 40 yards out at

kick at the 13:16 mark, but
could convert neither.
Finally

Kalida kept up the pressure in an increasingly tougher contest and finally got the tying goal at the 12-minute mark. In

DELPHOS Cory-Rawson scored its all-important third

goal at 16:26 of the second half for a 3-1 edge and then held
off a late charge by Jefferson for a 3-2 girls non-conference
victory on a sunsplashed Monday afternoon at the St. Johns
Annex.
We just talked to the girls about being ready to play mentally from the start. This wasnt a league match but we still
have to be focused to play Jefferson soccer, which we did not
do today, Wildcat coach Josiah Stober observed. We talked
about the things we preach about all the time: communicating,
moving, passing, simple soccer. We have to get back to that
basic soccer. We also have to be more consistent; we occasionally did the right things today but we did not do that enough.
The Lady Hornets (5-6-2) were up 2-1 to start the second half.
The Wildcats (7-4-2) had a couple of early chances to knot it up.
The first was at 38:24 when junior Logan Hamilton shot
from 18 yards but Hornet freshman keeper Hannah Bixler (10
saves, 14 shots) got the save.
The second was at 33:35 when senior Bailey Miller got a
15-yard opening in the middle and Bixler deflected it; senior
Rachel Welch kicked the orb out of danger.
The Hornets - who lost Hayley Waltz to injury at 23:38
also had a couple of chances but couldnt find the mark.
That is, until 16:26. Brooklyn Shoemaker led Becca Schutz
for a dribble down the middle to the left post; with junior
netminder Jessica Pimpas (4 saves vs. 9 shots) coming out,
the junior Schultz slid a 12-yarder into the goal for a 3-1 edge.
The veteran and deeper Lady Wildcats then took advantage
of a younger (2 seniors) and injury-depleted Hornets (2 players
were injured prior to the start of the match and Caroline Schutz
went down at 10:10 of the second half) to try and rally.
They got within 3-2 at 13:25. Started by a pass by senior
Kylee Haehn, Hamilton had a great run down the right side and
from the wing, her 20-yarder went over a leaping Bixler (10
saves, 14 shots) and into the cords.
Try as they might, the Red and White could not get the
equalizer as they pressed the attack the rest of the way, either
missing the target or having Bixler make the stops.
Cory-Rawson went up 1-0 just 1:15 into the match. Welch,
on the left side near the touch line, passed inside to Caroline
Schutz for a 15-yarder from the wing into the right side of the
net.
Delphos nearly tied it at 35:36 off a corner kick from the
right side by Haehn, finding Hamilton in the center. With the
keeper out, she tried a 1-touch on the high-bouncer but the
keeper deflected it over the crossbar.
They did tie it at 1 at 34:59 on almost the exact same play.
On a corner kick from the right side by Haehn, she found
Hamilton on that post for an 8-yarder.
The keepers remained strong with the defenses in front
also not giving open looks until 5:37 of the opening half.
With the ball in the 18, the Wildcat defense failed to clear the
orb and Haley Waltz got possession in the middle and slipped
a 12-yarder by Pimpas for a 2-1 edge.
We were very organized today; weve been working on
that lately. We have to play ball possession and I felt we did,
Hornet coach Mark Schwemer noted. Because we lack depth
the four girls we had on the bench today were playing their
first matches in about three weeks, so we know we dont have
the depth to play up and down. Plus, you could tell those girls
were rusty.
CR returns to the pitch Thursday on the road at Bluffton.

Wildkitten volleyballers use

steady hitting to sweep Jefferson
By JIM METCALFE
DELPHOS Bath used a

steady hitting attack Monday
night to down Jefferson
25-12, 25-13, 25-11 in volleyball action at Jefferson
High School.
The Wildkittens (7-9) of
head coach Mandy Green
used the steady setting of
sophomore setter Abby
Cosart (25 assists) and junior
Megan Boedicker (8 assists)
to utilize the attack of junior
Haylee Brenek (12 kills),
senior Aries Riley (7 kills),
junior Aejha Curtis (6 kills)
and sophomore Kennedy
Metcalf (6 kills) to keep the
Jefferson (4-12) blockers and
back row busy.
On the other side of the
net, the Wildcats (4-12) of
head coach Joy DeVelvis
struggled to find the range,
being led by sophomore
Danielle Harman (7 kills),
senior Brooke Culp (6 kills, 2
assists), senior Andrea Geise
(4 kills) and freshmen Devyn
Carder (6 assists) and Macy
Wallace (6 assists).
It was a typical Monday
blah match where there
wasnt much emotion; we
need to break out of that.
We had some changes in our
lineup starting three freshmen and were using three
setters at different times,
DeVelvis explained. Im
happy with how those girls
are playing after being put
into different situations. It all
comes down to us not being
able to score points. We dig
well and we get a lot of
touches at the net, especially
considering we are out-sized
most of the time. We just
cant put the ball down on
the other side; I dont know
if we get afraid because we
dont want to make mistakes
Roundup
Jefferson sophomore Danielle Harman goes for the kill versus Bath Monday
night at Jefferson High School despite the block of Baths Aries Riley. (DHI Media/Kenny Poling)
after we miss a hit or two or
were just tentative to begin
with but we have to work
through it.
The visitors opened the
first set scoring the first five
points and never looked back.
They took advantage of a
struggling offensive attack
by the hosts eight hitting errors (21 for the match),
two net violations (4 for the
match) and only eight total
kills. Meanwhile, though the
hosts dug well led by Geise,
Wallace and junior Claire
Thompson, the Wildkittens
kept batting away at the net,
with four kills by Brenek and
three from Boedicker. In the
end, a serving error on set
point put the Kittens up 1-0.
A kill by Harman on the
first volley of the second set
was the only time Delphos

led in that frame. A hitting
error gave the serve to Baths
Cosart and a 6-0 spurt (2 on
her aces) gave them control.
Try as they might, the Red
and White simply couldnt
find the hitting attack consistently enough to challenge
their foe, committing nine
miscues in the set. On set
point, Metcalf won a joust
over the net for a 2-0 lead.
Jefferson stayed close
in set 3; after the first 18
points, it was tied at 9 on a
Harman kill on an overpass.
However, a hitting error gave
Bath a lead they never ceded.
It was still close until a kill
by Brenek gave Bath a 17-12
lead and the serve to Metcalf.
They surged 8-0 three aces
by Metcalf; two kills and a
Its a nice day to run. I know the fans

dont like it when it gets cool, but the boys
do. The temperatures come down and so
do the times, Schnipke said.
Kalida was led by Adam von der Embse
with an eighth-place finish in 18:17. Grant
Zeller finished 12th in 18:39.
Eric Von Sossan led Ottoville with a
17th place in 18:56.
On the girls side, Bulldog freshman
Taylor Ellerbrock continued her fine season by winning the race in 20:22, 17 seconds in front of Pandora-Gilboas Olivia
Velasquez (20:39).
Macy McCluer finished fifth for the
Bulldogs in 21:40, while Baily Dunifon
was 10th in 22:19 and Leah Myerholtz
was 11th in 22:37. Megan Langhals rounded out the top five for the Bulldogs with a
13th place finish in 22:59.
We ran really well today, Grove
coach Jason Jay said. We put the challenge out there to them and they responded. Our number three runner didnt run
today (medical) but the other girls really
stepped up and ran really well today.
Taylor has been getting more confidence as the season has gone along as
well as the other girls. Our second place
runner was a sophomore, our number was
another freshman, so we are looking good
for building for the future.
Katelyn Siebeneck led the Kalida girls
with a third-place finish in 20:48. Kelly
Doepker finished seventh in 21:50 and
Becca Brinkman was 16th in 24:04.
The kids (boys and girls) ran well and
competed hard and thats what we are asking for, Kalida coach Scott Miller said.
Its not a day you are going to set too
many PRs but they ran well. The boys did
an exceptional job today and the girls, who
were missing their number three runner,
ran hard and competed.
McKenna Byrne had a top-10 finish for
the Big Green as she was ninth in 22:16.
Elizabeth Luersman was 12th in 22:48.
Ottoville coach Bob Kaple was slightly
disappointed with the times his runners
turned in at the meet.
Our times were kind of so-so today,
Kaple said. We had three days off because
of the funeral and at practice Monday I
could tell the layoff had affected them. We

Lady Bulldogs knocked from unbeaten perch in NWC by Lancers

By Cort Reynolds
ADA - The 18th-ranked Ada volleyball
team (Division IV) was stunned by visiting
Lincolnview 25-23, 25-21, 23-25, 25-17
Tuesday evening in a crucial Northwest
Conference match.
The Lady Lancers came from far
behind to win the first two sets, then led
most of the way in the clinching game to
knock Ada from the undefeated ranks in
league play.
The upset loss dropped the Lady
Bulldog record to 16-3 overall and 5-1 in
the NWC.
Underdog Lincolnview came in hungry
for the upset, played loose and improved
to 7-11 overall and 3-3 in the NWC with
the upset win. They moved well and dug
up several would-be kills with hustle and
quickness.
Ada seemed to have game one under
control as they led from the outset and
built an 18-11 edge behind several kills
from senior Lindsay Walden. However,
the Lancers gained momentum on a 7-0
flurry to tie it and took
their first lead at 20-19 on a tip. Ada
freshman Melina Woods retied it on a
tip of her own to the open middle, yet
Lincolnview ran off four of the next five
points.
Walden kept Ada alive with consecutive big kills to inch the Bulldogs within
24-23. But the Lancers came up with a big
block kill on set point to win it behind a
14-5 closing run.
Ada junior Rachel Wildman and Woods
came out hitting strong in game two. A
two-hand tip to the sideline by Wildman
gave Ada a 12-3 edge as senior Alexis
Amburgey served seven points in a row.
The lead was 16-9 when again the spunky,
quick Lancers began to rally. A 5-0 spurt
cut it to 16-14, yet two big kills by Walden
seemed to right the Bulldog ship as they
edged back in front, 20-16. However,
the visitors reeled off seven unanswered
points to take a 23-20 lead. A passing
error and a Lancer tip finished it off 25-21
as they shocked Ada once more via a late
comeback.
stuff by Riley; and two kills

by Brenek to take a 24-12
edge. A push over the block
by Culp briefly stopped the
run but a bomb by Brenek
finished the match.
Aries has come a long
way for us. Haley is also
improving all the time,
Green said. For us, were
realizing we dont have to
pound the ball every time; we
need to be more into placement and finding holes in
the defense. We were pretty
effective with that, as well as
using tips; those can be just
as difficult to defend.
In junior varsity action,
the visitors won a tough
2-setter: 26-24, 25-22; as the
hosts fell to 6-8.
Jefferson hosts Allen East
5:30 p.m. Thursday.
The teams battled to a 10-10 tie in

set three before Lincolnview ran off four
points in succession. This time it was
Adas turn to came back and they tied it
on a Woods block kill, then took the lead
16-15 when she came up with a tip. Later,
a Woods block inched the hosts on top
18-17. Consecutive kills by Walden gave
the Bulldogs a 21-20 lead. Two Lancer
errors put Ada in front 23-21. Lincolnview
then won the longest rally of the match,
but a serving error helped Ada gain set
point. Woods appeared to clinch the game
on a tip but her play was waved off for
being over the net on a disputed call. Yet
on the next point, Amburgey made the
argument moot when she hammered a
cross-court kill to win the set.
Lincolnview took control of game four
from the start, racing to a 10-2 lead. A 7-0
flurry later extended the margin to 17-6
before Ada started to rally. Ashley Sumner
made a block, yet the Lancers pushed
ahead 19-9. Two Walden kills and one by
Wildman brought Ada within 21-16. The
Lancers stopped the momentum with two
kills for a 23-16 cushion. Woods answered
with a kill but Ada hit long to reach match
point. Lincolnview then closed the upset
on a big kill before their enthusiastic
crowd.
Lincolnview hosts Paulding Thursday.
Jays compete at Allen County
Invitational
LIMA The St. Johns cross country
runners had good showings at Tuesdays
Allen County Invitational held at hilly
Faurot Park in Lima.
Sophomore Baylee Lindeman was the
top Lady Blue Jay finisher in setting a
new personal record of 23:54 and 15th
place overall. Also placing in the girls race
was Breece Rohr (7th) and Lexi Pohlman
(20th).
In the boys race, Curtis Pohlman lead
the way with a 6th-place finish. Nick
Pohlman 15th and Anthony Hale 18th finished in the top 20.
The St. Johns junior high girls team
took home the 2nd-place trophy with the
following girls finishing: Caroline Kopack
(4th), Josie Schulte (5th), Jenia Freewalt
(8th), Kayla Pohlman (15th) and Sophia
Giambruno-Fuge (20th).
We ran fairly well tonight considering
that this is a very challenging course with
the hills on the course, St. Johns coach
Steve Hellman explained. We do not
get much training on hills so it is something the kids are not used to; for some,
it is tough to get good times. For Baylee
Lindeman to set a new PR today is great.
In my years of coaching, very few runners
have set a PR on this course. We go from
this slow course tonight to a very fast
course on Thursday at Coldwater so it will
be fun for the kids to see how much a fast
course makes a difference in their times.

Microsoft skips
Windows 9 to
emphasize advances
SAN
FRANCISCO
(AP) The next version of
Microsofts flagship operating system will be called
Windows 10, as the company
skips version 9 to emphasize
advances it is making toward
a world centered on mobile
devices and Internet services.
The current version,
Windows 8, has been widely
derided for forcing radical
behavioral changes. Microsoft
is restoring some of the more
traditional ways of doing
things and promises that
Windows 10 will be familiar
for users regardless of which
version of Windows they are
now using.
For instance, the start menu
in Windows 10 will appear
similar to whats found in
Windows 7, but tiles opening to the side will resemble
whats found in Windows 8.
Joe Belfiore, a Microsoft
executive who oversees
Windows design and evolution, said Windows 10 will
offer the familiarity of
Windows 7 with some of the
benefits that exist in Windows
8 to help business users make
the transition.
Microsoft offered a glimpse
of its vision for Windows at a
San Francisco event Tuesday
aimed at business customers.
Microsoft is making a technical preview version available to selected users starting
Wednesday. It plans to unveil
details about consumer features early next year, with a
formal release in mid-2015.
FTC to retailers:
Drop your
caffeinated drawers
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP)
If you purchased caffeineinfused underwear because of
promises it will make you
thinner, federal regulators
say you were hoodwinked
but at least you can get your
money back.
The
Federal
Trade
Commission
announced
Monday that two companies
Norm Thompson Outfitters
of Oregon and Wacoal
America Inc. of New Jersey
have agreed to refund $1.5
million to consumers who
purchased shapewear that
supposedly can reduce cellulite and fat because it is
infused with caffeine, vitamin
E and other things.
Caffeine-infused shapewear is the latest weight-loss
brew concocted by marketers, Jessica Rich, director of the FTCs Bureau of
Consumer Protection, said in
a statement. If someone says
you can lose weight by wearing the clothes they are selling, steer clear.
Neither company could be
reached for comment.
Norm Thompson, based
in Hillsboro, Oregon, sold
womens bike shorts, tights
and leggings made of a fabric
called Lytess for $49 to $79,
according to the FTCs complaint. The company claimed
a woman could take 2 inches
off the hips and an inch off
the thighs in less than a month
without effort.
No diets or pills. Lose
inches just by wearing these
cellulite-slimming Lytess leggings, the company said in
an online catalog, according
to the FTC. The unique fabric is infused with caffeine to
metabolize fat.

Court mulls legality of

firing for pot use off job
DENVER (AP) Pot may be legal in
Colorado, but you can still be fired for using it.
Now, the states highest court is considering whether workers off-duty use of medical
marijuana is protected under state law.
Colorados Supreme Court on Tuesday
heard arguments in a case involving Brandon
Coats, a quadriplegic medical marijuana
patient who was fired by the Dish Network
after failing a drug test in 2010.
Coats said he never got high at work. But
pots intoxicating chemical, THC, can stay in
the system for weeks.
Coats says his pot smoking is allowed
under a little-known state law intended to
protect employees from being fired for legal
activities off the clock. But the company
argues that because pot remains illegal at the
federal level, medical marijuana isnt covered
by the state law.
The case is being watched closely around
the country and could have big implications
for pot smokers in the first state to legalize
recreational sales of the drug. Though the
Colorado case involves medical marijuana,
the courts decision could also affect how
companies treat employees who use the drug
recreationally.
Tuesdays arguments highlighted the clash
between state laws that are increasingly
accepting of marijuana use and employers
drug-free policies that wont tolerate it.
This case need not be an endorsement
or an indictment of medical marijuana but
a chance to set standards for employee conduct, Dish attorney Meghan Martinez told the
justices, who could rule in the coming weeks
or months. Its a zero-tolerance policy. It
doesnt matter if he was impaired or not.
Coats, 35, was paralyzed in a car crash as
a teenager and has been a medical marijuana
patient since 2009, when he discovered that
pot helped calm violent muscle spasms. Coats
was a telephone operator with Dish for three
years before he failed a random drug test in
2010 and was fired. He said he told his supervisors in advance that he probably would fail
the test.
Coats case comes to the justices after a
trial court judge and Colorados appeals court
upheld his firing, saying pot cant be considered lawful if it is outlawed at the federal
level.
Were getting very confused and mixed
messages from everywhere, Coats attorney,
Michael Evans, told justices.
He asked the court to issue a narrow ruling
that would apply to people like Coats: those
in nonhazardous jobs who are not impaired at
work and whose employers dont have federal
contracts that could be jeopardized.
Twenty-three states and Washington,
D.C., allow medical marijuana. Colorado and
Washington state also now allow recreational
sales, though court cases so far have involved
medical patients.
Colorados constitution specifically says
that employers dont have to amend their policies to accommodate employees marijuana
use. But Arizona law says workers cant be
punished for lawfully using medical marijuana unless it would jeopardize an employers
federal contract.
State Supreme Courts in California,
Montana and Washington state have all ruled
against fired patients. A lawsuit filed by a
physician assistant in New Mexico who said
she was fired for using medical marijuana,
which helps with her post-traumatic stress
disorder, is still pending.
Denver labor and employment attorney
Vance Knapp said a Coats win would turn
employment policies into chaos. Other states
with lawful-activity laws could see them challenged as a result.
Coats, who has been unable to find steady
work because of his marijuana use, said after
the hearing that he was hopeful he would prevail. At the very least, he said, the court will
offer clarity on the issue.
Im not going to be able to get a job in
the near future, so if I can fight the fight and
hopefully change that, thats what I am going
to do, he said.

Complicated estate tax

questions call for expert help
DEAR BRUCE: My
father left me an IRA worth
$1 million. The rest of the
estate outside the IRA is less
than $75,000. My parents had
exhausted their gift exclusion
of $10,250,000, so the estate
will owe $400,000 in estate
taxes.
Can I pay the taxes with
other monies that I have in
order to keep more in the
IRA? And if yes, will I be
able to deduct it as if the
estate had paid the taxes? My
tax people dont have any
idea about this, and I am
going crazy trying to figure it
out. -- Colleen
DEAR COLLEEN: Your
final sentence is the one that
bothers me the most. The best
help I can give you is to
urge you to find some new
tax people because, clearly,
folks who specialize in this
area should have appropriate
information.
As far as what my people tell me, it doesnt matter
where the monies come from
as far as it being declared
or providing any further tax
benefits, but you should very
quickly sit down with an
established tax consultant and
figure out what is the best
way to protect your interests.
You may say you can
look that up and thats probably true, but the difficulty
is that nuances can make all
the difference in the world.
When you are talking about
$400,000, nuances or minor
things are very important. Do
yourself a kindness and find
some people who can help
you. They are out there, and
they are not cheap.
DEAR BRUCE: What
does it mean for a company
I have an account with to
have flagged my account?
Bruce Williams
Smart
Money
I disputed an incorrect charge
to my account, and the agent
got mad and I got madder.
Now I am told the company
has flagged my account. Does
this damage me? Does the
company charge me higher
fees as a result of this flagging? -- James
DEAR JAMES: The
answers to your questions are
yes, no and maybe! The fact
that the company flagged
your account means that the
account is now receiving special attention from all of its
people and they may, because
of your dispute, charge you
as much as the account will
allow.
You have another option:
Find a new company to do
business with. You must have
started some kind of action
that made the company angry,
and as a consequence it is giving your account undo attention. This may or may not be
harmful, but if you feel it is
harmful, please find a new
company. There are lots of
them out there.

Study: Gambling industry

worth $240B, 1.7M jobs
LAS VEGAS (AP) U.S. casinos and the makers of the
games found inside had a $240 billion economic impact and
employed 1.7 million people in 2013, a study shows.
That includes $38 billion in local, state and federal taxes
the industry said it paid last year in gambling fees, property
taxes, income taxes and more. Unlike prior studies, the report
included the impact tribal gambling and some legal online
gaming has had on the economy.
The American Gaming Association was expected to
announce the results of the study at a Tuesday news conference. The Associated Press obtained an advance copy.
The groups annual G2E Global Gaming Expo is being held
this week at the Sands Expo and Convention Center in Las
Vegas.
The study, done by Oxford Economics, took into account
everything from wagers by gamblers doubling-down to tourists
buying gas, meals or tickets to a show.
The numbers didnt surprise David Schwartz, director of
the Gaming Research Center at the University of Nevada, Las
Vegas.
I think its an important part of telling the whole story,
he said.
That story, he said, includes not only casino gambling but
the industrys impact as hoteliers, retailers and others.
What got the gambling industry to this point isnt going
to keep it thriving, though, said Geoff Freeman, the associations president. With growing competition, Freeman said the
industry needs to seek regulatory changes that can help make
the business more efficient and free up companies to be more
innovative, he said.

Much as you might wish to, theres nothing you
can do to control your former spouses behavior. My
doctor tells me that herpes is most contagious during
an outbreak. The risk is far less when the person is
not shedding the virus. Valtrex further decreases the
chances of spreading it, although its still possible.
If the result of the blood test you were given
was negative, then you have never been exposed.
However, if you have any symptoms, such as
itching or swollen lymph nodes in your groin, you
should let your OB/GYN know right away.

DEAR ABBY: My 57-year-old sister has had

many career problems. Shes well-educated,
personable, professional and punctual, but she
quits or is let go from one job after another within
weeks because it wasnt a good fit. She seems to
be holding out for what she had 25 years ago -- a
well-paying position supervising clerks. But jobs
like that dont exist anymore.
Shes excellent at working with small children
and the elderly and has significant experience
doing so, but she believes such jobs are beneath
her. Im her only close relative, and Im afraid
shell eventually turn to me for financial support
-- something my husband and I cannot afford to
provide. What can I do or say to make her realize
that a STEADY JOB is what she really needs for the
next 10 years? -- SENSIBLE SIB IN ARIZONA
DEAR SENSIBLE SIB: Tell your sister
exactly what you have written to me: Sis, what you
need is a steady job for the next 10 years, because
if youre counting on support from me, Im telling
you now my husband and I cant afford to give it to
you. Its short, sweet, and it may be the wake-up
call she needs before its too late.

Ask Mr. Know-it-All
Have questions will answer

Q: Have Gun -Will Travel was my
favorite old TV show.
The main character,
Paladin, used a calling
card with a chess
knight on it along with
the slogan. What was
the significance of the
knight? -- L.O.S., Tyler,
Texas
A: The symbol of
the chess knight refers to
the heros name, Paladin.
I turned to the dictionary
for a description:
Paladin is defined
as 1. Any of the
12
legendary
peers or knightly
champions
in
attendance
of
Charlemagne. 2.
Any knightly or
heroic champion.
3. A determined
advocate or defender of
a cause. I believe Nos.
2 and 3 appropriately
describe
Paladins
missions.
An
avid
chess player, he often
compared himself to the
playing piece.
Have
Gun
-Will Travel was an
American Western series
starring Richard Boone
that aired from 1957
to 1963. In the
early days of
television, it was
common for a
show to have its
origin in radio,
but this series
was an exception
-- it was one
of
the
few
television shows
to
spawn
a
successful radio version.
The radio series debuted
Nov. 23, 1958.
Q: What can you tell
me about Gracie Allen?
Where and when was
she born? I once heard a
story about her teaming
up with the wrong person
for a performance. Can
you explain that for me?
-- W.E.Z., Flagstaff,
Ariz.
A: Most sources say
that Grace Ethel Cecile
Rosalie Allen was born

July 26, 1895, in San
Francisco, though the
exact year of her birth
remains a mystery:
All
public
records
were destroyed in the
earthquake and fire of
1906. Allen made her
stage debut with her
father, a local entertainer,
at age 3. She dropped
out of school at 14 to
join the family on stage.
In time, she became
dissatisfied with
her stage career
and quit the
entertainment
field.
In 1922, while
in
secretarial
school,
Allen
visited backstage
at the Union
Theater in Union
Hill, N.J. She had
learned that the comedy
group of George Burns
and William Lorraine
was going to break up
and Lorraine would need
another partner. Gracie
confused the two men
and approached Burns
about forming a team.
After three days, Burns
confessed his identity,
but Gracie still wanted
to give the
new group a
chance. They
opened at the
Hill
Street
Theater
in
Newark, N.J.
Burns quickly
realized
his
partner
was
a
natural
comedienne;
he rewrote their sketches
to give her the witty
lines. After three years
traveling together, they
married on Jan. 7, 1926,
in Cleveland. The duo
brought top vaudeville
billing and later moved
to radio, television and
movies. Allen retired
from show business in
1958. She died of a heart
attack in her sleep on
Aug. 27, 1964.

California becomes
first state to ban
plastic bags
SACRAMENTO, Calif.
(AP) Gov. Jerry Brown on
Tuesday signed the nations
first statewide ban on singleuse plastic bags at grocery and
convenience stores, driven to
action by pollution in streets
and waterways.
A national coalition of
plastic bag manufacturers
immediately said it would
seek a voter referendum
to repeal the law, which is
scheduled to take effect in
July 2015.
Under SB270, plastic bags
will be phased out of checkout counters at large grocery
stores and supermarkets such
as Wal-Mart and Target starting next summer, and convenience stores and pharmacies in 2016. The law does
not apply to bags used for
fruits, vegetables or meats, or
to shopping bags used at other
retailers. It allows grocers to
charge a fee of at least 10
cents for using paper bags.
State Sen. Alex Padilla,
D-Los Angeles, credits the
momentum for statewide legislation to the more than 100
cities and counties, including Los Angeles and San
Francisco, that already have
such bans.
The law marks a major
milestone for environmental activists who have successfully pushed plastic bag
bans in cities across the U.S.,
including Chicago, Austin
and Seattle. Hawaii is also on
track to have a de-facto statewide ban, with all counties
approving prohibitions.
Government confirms
first case of Ebola in US
LAURAN NEERGAARD
Associates Press
DALLAS The first case of Ebola

diagnosed in the U.S. was confirmed
Tuesday in a patient who recently traveled
from Liberia to Dallas a sign of the
far-reaching impact of the out-of-control
epidemic in West Africa.
The unidentified man was critically ill
and has been in isolation at Texas Health
Presbyterian Hospital since Sunday, federal health officials said. They would not
reveal his nationality or age.
Authorities have begun tracking down
family and friends who may have had
close contact with him and could be at
risk for becoming ill. But officials said
there are no other suspected cases in
Texas.
At the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention, Director Tom Frieden said
the man left Liberia on Sept. 19, arrived
the next day to visit relatives and started
feeling ill four or five days later. He said
it was not clear how the patient became
infected.
There was no risk to anyone on the airplane because the man had no symptoms
at the time of the flight, Frieden said.
Ebola symptoms can include fever,
muscle pain, vomiting and bleeding, and
can appear as long as 21 days after exposure to the virus. The disease is not contagious until symptoms begin, and it takes
close contact with bodily fluids to spread.
The bottom line here is that I have no
doubt we will control this importation,
or this case of Ebola, so that it does not
spread widely in this country, Frieden
told reporters.
It is certainly possible that someone
who had contact with this individual, a
family member or other individual, could
develop Ebola in the coming weeks, he
added. But there is no doubt in my mind

that we will stop it here.
In Washington, President Barack
Obama was briefed about the diagnosis in
a call from Frieden, the White House said.
Four American aid workers who
became infected in West Africa have been
flown back to the U.S. for treatment after
they became sick. They were cared for in
special isolation facilities at hospitals in
Atlanta and Nebraska. Three have recovered.
Also, a U.S. doctor exposed to the
virus in Sierra Leone is under observation in a similar facility at the National
Institutes of Health.
The U.S. has only four such isolation
units. Asked whether the Texas patient
would be moved to one of those specialty
facilities, Frieden said there was no need
and virtually any hospital can provide the
proper care and infection control.
Dr. Edward Goodman, an epidemiologist at the hospital, said the U.S.
was much better prepared to handle the
disease than African hospitals, which are
often short of doctors, gloves, gowns and
masks.
We dont have those problems. So
were perfectly capable of taking care of
this patient with no risk to other people,
he said.
After arriving in the U.S. on Sept. 20,
the man began to develop symptoms last
Wednesday and initially sought care two
days later. But he was released. At the
time, hospital officials did not know he
had been in West Africa. He returned later
as his condition worsened.
Blood tests by Texas health officials
and the CDC separately confirmed an
Ebola diagnosis on Tuesday.
State health officials described the
patient as seriously ill. Goodman said he
was able to communicate and was hungry.

NEW YORK (AP) No

one watches live television
anymore, right? Apparently,
many people still do, judging
by results from the first week
of a new television season.
CBS, NBC and ABC all
had more viewers last week
than during the first week
of the 2013 fall TV season,
according to the Nielsen
Co.s measurement of people
watching live or before midnight on the same evening.
Only Fox saw its numbers
slip among the four largest
broadcast networks.
Five of the 20 mostwatched programs were
brand new, with three on CBS
and two on ABC, according
to Nielsen.
Maybe the networks are
putting out better shows,
said Brad Adgate, a ratings
analyst for Horizon Media,
or at least theyre putting out
a better marketing strategy.
Some of the successful
new series, like Madam
Secretary on CBS and How
to Get Away With Murder on
ABC, were the subject of big
campaigns by their networks
to drive early viewership.
The numbers were surprising only in the sense that
networks have been arguing
that live viewership no longer is the best measurement
of a programs value. Some
networks have driven the
point home by supplementing overnight ratings reports
with estimates on how many
people will watch a program
on a time-shifted basis.
People are time-shifting,
too, of course. ABC said
How to Get Away With
Murder set a record by
increasing its audience from
an estimated 14.3 million to
20.3 when viewing over a
three-day period is added in.
Besides the Sunday night
Madam Secretary, CBS has
done well with the new series
Scorpion and the spinoff
NCIS: New Orleans. The
comedy Black-ish on ABC
has shown strength in the time
slot after Modern Family,
which has been problematic
for the network.
NBC had its most-watched
premiere week in eight

years, according to Nielsen,
with Debra Messings The
Mysteries of Laura its top
new series.
Foxs biggest priority,
Gotham, had a strong start,
but the network has to be concerned with the weak showing of its sophomore drama,
Sleepy Hollow, and the
new Red Band Society.
For the sixth year in a row,
CBS won premiere week,
averaging 10.9 million viewers in prime time. NBC had
10 million, and won among
the 18-to-49-year-old demographic upon which it bases
its advertising sales. ABC
had 8.3 million and said it
won among young viewers
if football is taken out of the
equation. Fox had 5.2 million, Univision 2.9 million,
Telemundo 1.4 million, ION
Television 890,000 and the
CW 780,000.
ESPN was the weeks most
popular cable network, averaging 2.91 million viewers
in prime time. USA had 1.83
million, Fox News Channel
had 1.67 million, the Disney
Channel had 1.64 million and
TBS had 1.62 million.
NBCs Nightly News
topped the evening newscasts with an average of
8.2 million viewers. ABCs
World News was second
with 8 million and the CBS
Evening News had 6.3 million viewers.
For the week of Sept.
