Ferguson officer resigns

with no severance package
FERGUSON, Mo. (AP) Ferguson police Officer

Darren Wilson did not receive a severance package when
he resigned over the weekend, the St. Louis suburbs mayor
said Sunday.
Wilson, 28, wont receive any further pay or benefits, and
he and the city have cut their ties, Mayor James Knowles told
reporters a day after Wilson tendered his resignation, which
was effective immediately.
Wilson, who is white, had been on administrative leave
since he killed Michael Brown, an unarmed black 18-year-old,
during an Aug. 9 confrontation. A grand jury decided Monday
not to indict him, sparking days of sometimes violent protests
in Ferguson and other cities.
Wilson wrote in his resignation letter that his continued
employment may put the residents and police officers of the
City of Ferguson at risk, which is a circumstance I cannot
allow.
His lawyer, Neil Bruntrager, told The Associated Press that
Wilson decided to step aside after police Chief Tom Jackson
told him about the alleged threats on Saturday.
The information we had was that there would be actions
targeting the Ferguson (police) department or buildings in
Ferguson related to the police department, Bruntrager said.
He said Wilson, who had worked for the department for less
than three years, and the city were already discussing an exit
strategy, acknowledging that Wilson staying on as an officer
there would be impossible.
Many have criticized the authorities handling of the case,
but Knowles said no leadership changes were in the works.
Asked if he would resign, Jackson said flatly, No.
Benjamin Crump, an attorney for Browns family, said
Wilsons resignation was not a surprise.
It was always believed that the police officer would do
what was in his best interest, both personally and professionally, Crump said. We didnt believe that he would be able
to be effective for the Ferguson community nor the Ferguson
Police Department because of the tragic circumstances that
claimed the life of Michael Brown Jr.

For The Record
Spain soccer fan clash

leaves 1 dead, 11 injured
MADRID (AP) One
man died and 11 others
suffered minor injuries
after a fight broke out
outside Atletico Madrids
soccer stadium between
its fans and those of visiting team Deportivo La
Coruna, officials said
Sunday.
Madrids Clinico San
Carlos hospital said a man
died of injuries sustained
in the clash between rival
fans that broke out hours
before the game near the
Vicente Calderon stadium. Police made several
arrests.
The man, identified
only as a 43-year-old
Deportivo fan, had to be
removed from Madrids
Manzanares River and
attended to by emergency
services, which initially
resuscitated him before
transferring him to hospital where he died hours
later.
Televised images on
Canal Plus showed large
groups of men wielding
what appeared to be metal
poles, tossing chairs and
firing flares on the wide
pavement along the bank

of the river. Images also
showed at least one man
falling into the water.
The presidents of both
clubs appeared together
on television to lament
the incident.
This has nothing to
do with football, said
Atletico president Enrique
Cerezo. Neither Atletico
nor Deportivo have anything to do with these
incidents, they are organized by radical groups
who have their histories
and accounts to settle.
Sports minister Jose
Ignacio Wert also said the
clash was not linked to
sport, but it nevertheless
tarnished its image and
had to be eradicated.
Two people who were
at a bar linked to Atleticos
fan club in the northwestern city of A Coruna were
slightly injured in a separate incident at noon when
they were involved in a
barroom brawl with six
hooded men, Europa Press
news agency reported.
Police said on its
Twitter account they had
made 24 arrests among

four radical groups linked
to football clubs, and
named them as: Riazor
Blues, Atletico Front,
Buccaneers, and Alkor
Hooligans.
The 11 injured included a police officer who
suffered a broken finger.
We are very sad, and
we condemn this completely, said Atletico
coach Diego Simeone.
We hope these types of
situations dont happen
again.
The Spanish league
said in a statement that it
had tried to suspend the
match before it began.
The Spanish football league was firm in
its conviction to suspend
the match, but that wasnt
possible, the league said
in a statement without
explaining why the match
started as scheduled at
1100 GMT.
In December 1998 a
Real Sociedad fan was
killed outside Atleticos
stadium and a man was
sentenced to a 17-year jail
term for his murder.

Traficant
remembered
as man of
the people
YOUNGSTOWN (AP)
Hundreds have turned
out to pay tribute to the late
James A. Traficant Jr., the
former Ohio congressman
who served time in prison
after his conviction on corruption and racketeering
charges.
More than 500 people
attended the tribute Sunday
at a performing arts center in Youngstown. They
remembered him as a man
of the people who worked
hard to help his beloved
and beleaguered city and
the Mahoning Valley.
The
7 3 - y e a r- o l d
Democrat died in September,
several days after a vintage tractor tipped over on
him at his familys farm.
The former football star and
county sheriff spent seven
years in prison after his
expulsion from his House
seat in 2002.
His conviction made
him only the second person expelled from Congress
since the Civil War.
All schools not

under new Ohio
snow-days rules
DAYTON (AP) A new

Ohio law on school snow days
is rolling out in a piecemeal
fashion with the rules not taking effect simultaneously for all
school districts around the state.
The new law requires students to spend a minimum number of hours in school each year
instead of a minimum number
of days. But the rules dont take
effect until schools union contracts expire, the Dayton Daily
News reports.
The Dayton district in southwestern Ohio will keep using the
previous five calamity days
rule for another three winters.
The Springfield district in western Ohio has switched to the
hours-based calendar, but it still
plans to make up any school
days missed over five.
The reality is our children
need all the time they can get,
and even additional time before
and after school and in the summer because many of them
come in behind, Springfield
Superintendent David Estrop
said.
Ohio schools previously had
to schedule 178 days of instruction. They could miss up to five
days because of snow or some
other calamity, but had to
make up additional days missed.
The new law requires 1,001
hours of instruction for grades
7-12 and at least 910 hours for
all-day kindergarten through
sixth grade. Students in half-day
kindergarten must spend at least
455 hours in school.
Some school leaders like the
new flexibility for making up
lost time.
We still have some opportunities identified for makeup days
if we lose a considerable amount
of instruction, but now its about
the instruction, not about meeting a minimum number of
days, Greenon Superintendent
Dan Bennett said.
But some confusion continues. Some schools contacted by
the newspaper had to doublecheck which system they were
using, and others werent sure
what fringe school events count
toward the minimum.

Young hunters harvest 2015 Polar Plunge

more than 6,400 deer
registration open
during youth gun season
9 events to be held in January, February and
March to benefit Special Olympics Ohio
INFORMATION
SUBMITTED
COLUMBUS Ohios
young hunters checked 6,453
white-tailed deer during the
two-day youth gun season on
Saturday and Sunday, according to the Ohio Department of
Natural Resources (ODNR).
This season provided youth
hunters with their first opportunity to pursue deer with
specific straight-walled cartridge rifles and young hunters, taking advantage of these
rifles, harvested 378 deer
over the weekend.
The Ohio counties that
reported the most checked
deer during the 2014 youth
gun season were: Coshocton
(282), Tuscarawas (220),
Holmes (218), Knox (207),
Guernsey (191), Muskingum
(187),
Licking
(168),
Ashtabula (167), Carroll
(145) and Meigs (143).
Coshocton was also the top
county in 2013. Last year
youth hunters checked 6,640
deer.
Youth hunters could pursue deer with a legal shotgun, muzzleloader, handgun
or specific straight-walled
cartridge rifle and were
required to be accompanied
by a nonhunting adult during the two-day season. The
youth deer-gun season is one
of four special youth-only
hunting seasons designed to
offer a safe and early hunting
experience for young hunters.
Youth hunting seasons are
also set aside for small game,
wild turkey and waterfowl.

TOLEDO (AP) A state prison troubled by

a rise in violence, including four fatal attacks on
inmates in 13 months, has seen a drop assaults
and disturbances over the past year, according to
a prisons oversight committee.
The Toledo Correctional Institution also is
making improvements in security, management
of maximum security prisoners, health-care
services and employee turnover, said a report
from the Correctional Institution Inspection
Committee.
Joanna Saul, the committees executive
director, said the prison has made an extraordinary transformation. The institution is overall
safer, with a perceptibly more secure environment, she said.
The prison in October 2013 stopped accepting some new prisoners in a move aimed at
cutting down on the number of prisoners who
share a cell.
Violence soared after the facility started doubling up prisoners in the same cell to deal with
overcrowding beginning in 2011.

The change in accepting some prisoners
came just after a man serving a 40-year sentence
for attempted murder and robbery was attacked
and killed by his cellmate.
That was the fourth inmate death in just over
a year. There have been none since then.
According to the committees latest report
that covers the year ending June 30, there were
50 inmate-on-inmate assaults in 2014 down
from 53 during each of the two previous years.
The number of assaults by inmates on staff
increased slightly to 58, one more than the year
before, The Blade in Toledo reported.
Changes have been made to improve employee morale and retain employees, including the
management of maximum security inmates,
Saul said.
The prison, she said, also has shifted administrative personnel, hired more staff and underwent a comprehensive review since the committees last inspection.

Part 1 Contd
That
Delphos.
In the 1996 Pohlman article by Helen Kaverman, the
whereabouts of Bernard Joseph
Pohlman, son of Casper and his
first wife, Josephine (Koordt),
were unknown. Research since
then has located him having
lived in Arizona, working as
a ranch hand and obtaining a
lease to a silver and gold mine.
Joseph died 1 February 1943
in Prescot, Yavapai County,
Arizona.
The main Pohlman family mystery is the fate of the
daughters of Mathias by his
first wife. Did they marry?
If so, whom did they marry?
What happened to them in
the years between the 1850

COLUMBUS Special Olympics Ohio announces the
lineup and site list for its 2015 Polar Plunge season. This
popular event, held on Saturdays during January, February
and March at locations throughout the state, is among the
largest fundraisers for Special Olympics Ohio. All money
raised by Polar Plunge events benefits more than 23,000
Special Olympics athletes in Ohio.
There are nine opportunities across Ohio this winter to
participate in Special Olympic Ohios Polar Plunges.
The first 2015 Plunge is scheduled for Jan. 24 at
Mosquito Lake in Cortland.
On Jan. 31, plungers will be Freezin for a Reason at
the Thirsty Pony in Sandusky.
Feb. 7 is when Special Olympics Ohio and Special
Olympics Kentucky team up for a plunge to benefit the
Special Olympics athletes of both states. The KY/OH
Plunge is held at Joes Crab Shack in Bellevue, Kentucky.
Ohio University will have a Valentines Day Plunge
on Feb. 14 at Lake Snowden and the Columbus Zoo and
Aquarium, in Powell, has its Plunge Feb. 21.
The Law Enforcement Torch Run Plunge, scheduled for
Feb. 28 in Geneva-on-the-Lake, will finish out the month.
The 2015 Polar Plunge season concludes in March as
Grand Lake St. Marys in Celina hosts its plunge on March
7.
Caesars Creek in Waynesville has a plunge on March
14, while Indian Lake in Lakeview hosts the final plunge
of the season on March 21.
As part of the Polar Plunge experience, participants
obtain monetary pledges and then agree to jump or slowly
crawl (whatever the case may be) into the frigid waters
of an Ohio lake or waterway or the special Polar Plunge
pool, depending on location, to earn their pledges. Another
opportunity to participate is Too Chicken to Plunge. To
participate, one raises a minimum of $30 and is awarded
with a Too Chicken to Plunge T-shirt as well the
opportunity NOT to plunge.
Or, teams of chickens may be formed in support of
favorite plungers.
A minimum in pledges ($50, $75 or $100 depending on
age and location) is required to participate. All plungers
receive a T-shirt, food and non-alcoholic beverages at a
post-plunge party. There are also incentive prizes for those
who raise more than the required minimum in pledges.
Individuals and groups are welcome to participate; personalized online fundraising pages are available.
Information and links to registration sites for all Polar
Plunges are available at sooh.org or by phoning Special
Olympics Ohio at 614-239-7050. Also, watch for social
media posts about the Polar Plunge events. Special

Mockingjay tops Penguins,

Horrible Bosses at box office
Engagement
BY DERRIK J. LANG
Associated Press
LOS ANGELES Moviegoers wanted another

helping of The Hunger Games.
The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part One ruled
the Thanksgiving box office for a second weekend in a
row with $56.9 million, according to studio estimates
Sunday. The total haul for the latest installment of the
Lionsgate dystopian series starring Jennifer Lawrence
as Katniss Everdeen stands at $225.7 million domestically and $254.4 million internationally.
Penguins of Madagascar opened in second place
with a chilly $25.8 million. The animated spin-off
centers on the penguin characters from DreamWorks
Animations Madagascar franchise. Penguins fared
better overseas, where the film earned an additional
$36 million.
Disneys animated romp Big Hero 6 and
Paramounts space-time saga Interstellar respectively
held onto the third and fourth positions with $18.7 million and $15.8 million in their fourth weekend at the
box office. The domestic total for Big Hero 6 has ballooned to $167.2 million, while filmmaker Christopher
Nolans Interstellar is orbiting $147 million.
The Warner Bros. comedy sequel Horrible Bosses
2 with Jason Bateman, Jason Sudeikis and Charlie
Day reprising their roles from the original 2011 movie
debuted in fifth place with $15.7 million.
Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst for box
office tracker Rentrak, noted the overall box office
was down 21 percent from last year when The Hunger
Games: Catching Fire and Frozen dominated the
box office.
It was a situation where there was no way the box
office could live up to the strength of the marketplace
a year ago at Thanksgiving, said Dergarabedian. We
had two unusually strong films at the top last year that
completely knocked it out of the park.
Miller/Beaupre
Steve and Jeanne Miller of Venedocia announce the

engagement of their daughter, Dr. Jessica E. Miller of
Nashville, Tennessee, to Thomas C. Beaupre of Nashville,
son of Tom and Bernadette Mohan of Shallotte, North
Carolina.
The couple will exchange vows in December in
Nashville.
The bride-elect is a graduate of the University of
Findlay, earning a doctorate of physical therapy. She
is a physical therapist at Select Specialty Hospital in
Nashville.
Her fiance is a graduate of Bloomsburg University,
earning a bachelors of music. He is a musician and music
producer in Nashville.
Snooki ties the Cosby offers refunds

knot in New Jersey for NY show ticket
Associated Press
Associated Press
EAST HANOVER, N.J. Snooki has officially tied the

knot.
Former Jersey Shore star Nicole Snooki Polizzi married boyfriend Jionni LaValle in a church ceremony Saturday
in East Hanover, about 15 miles west of New York City.
The Record (http://bit.ly/1FGNdEC) reports that among
the guests were Jersey Shore castmates Sammi Giancola
and Deena Cortese and Jenni Farley. Polizzi currently stars
with Farley in MTVs Snooki and JWOWW.
A few dozen onlookers waited outside the church.
Seventeen groomsmen and 15 bridesmaids attended the
ceremony, which had a Great Gatsby theme.
Polizzi and LaValle have two children, ages 2 and 2
months.
TARRYTOWN, N.Y. (AP) Bill Cosby is still performing

at a suburban New York venue next weekend but the embattled
comic is offering refunds to ticket holders who dont want to
go.
The Journal News reports Cosbys two Saturday shows at
the Tarrytown Music Hall are going on as scheduled.
But ticket holders got an email from the box office Friday
offering refunds.
The email said Cosbys management would reimburse
patrons who dont want to attend the show.
Cosby shows in some other states have been canceled after
women came forward alleging he sexually assaulted them.
More than 30 shows remain on his schedule through May
2015.
Cosby has denied the allegations against him.

Mark Strand, prize-winning

poet, master of elegy, dies
in New York City at 80
BY HILLEL ITALIE
Associated Press
NEW YORK Mark
Strand, a Pulitzer Prize winner and former U.S. poet laureate widely praised for his
concentrated, elegiac verse,
has died. He was 80.
Strand, whose works were
translated into more than 30
languages, died Saturday
morning at his daughters
New York home from liposarcoma that had spread throughout his body, just weeks after
entering hospice care, said his
daughter, Jessica Strand.
He was a funny, elegant,
generous and brilliant man,
she said of her father. A
man who lived to work and
to be with his friends and the
people he loved.
A distinctive presence
even at the end of his life,
with his lean build, white hair
and round glasses, Strand
received numerous honors, including the Pulitzer
in 1999 for Blizzard of
One, a gold medal from the
American Academy of Arts
and Letters and a National
Book Award nomination this
fall for Collected Poems.
He was appointed poet laureate for 1990-91, although
he did not count his time in
Washington among his great
achievements.
Its too close to the government. Its too official.
I dont believe that poetry
should be official, he told
The Associated Press in 2011.
There are poets who aspire
to such positions; I never
did.
Author of more than a
dozen books of poetry and
several works of prose, Strand
was haunted by absence, loss
and passage of time from the
beginning of his career, sometimes peering just beyond
the contents of the page and
wondering what, if anything,
was out there. Some of his
most famous lines appear in
Keeping Things Whole, a
poem from Sleeping With
One Eye Open, his 1964
debut:
In a field
I am the absence
of field.
This is
always the case.
Wherever I am
I am what is missing.
Strand also wrote childrens books and art criticism,
helped edit several poetry
anthologies and translated the
Spanish poet Rafael Alberti.
He was a committed doubter,
even about poetry. He went
through occasional peri-
ods when he stopped writing verse and once quarreled

with his publisher, Alfred A.
Knopf, because he considered
his 2012 collection Almost
Invisible to be prose, not
poetry.
I dont make the same
demands of prose as I do with
poetry, he told the AP. You
dont have to worry about
sustaining a cadence. You
dont have to worry about
the specific creativity of each
word.
He was born in Prince
Edward Island in Canada, his
mother a painter, his father
a salesman whose work
led to the family living in
many locales from Peru to
Cleveland. Strand thought of
himself first as an artist, and
would dismiss his adolescent
poetry as feverish attempts
to put my feelings on paper,
and little more.
He majored in art at Yale
University, but felt stifled
and by graduate school had
decided he was better suited for writing, with Philip
Larkin and Thomas Hardy
among the poets he was reading. He received a masters
degree from the University
of Iowas prestigious Writers
Workshop, and later taught
at Iowa, Columbia University
and the University of Chicago
among other schools.
The
most
profound
absence in his work was that
of god, his atheism passed
down to him from his father,
who had terrified his young
son with stories of heretics
burned at the stake. In Poem
After the Last Seven Words,
from the 2006 collection
Man and Camel, Strand
imagined how it felt To open
the dictionary of the Beyond
and discover what one suspected, that the only word in
it is nothing.
I havent met God and
I havent been to heaven, so
Im skeptical, he told the
AP. Nobodys come back to
me to tell me theyre having a great time in heaven
and that theyve seen God,
although there are a lot of
people claiming that God is
telling them what to do. I
have no idea how God talks
to them. Maybe theyre getting secret emails.
His daughter said Saturday
her father found comfort in art.
We werent religious people, but we worshipped at the
foot of culture, she said. He
was always an artist.
Besides his daughter,
Mark Strand is survived by a
sister and a son, Thomas, who
lives in Seattle.

OHSAA Football
State Championships
kick off Thursday
Ohio Stadium to host

championships for the
first time since 1989
INFORMATION
SUBMITTED
COLUMBUS The final

week of the 2014 OHSAA
football season has arrived
and 14 teams have earned the
right to play for a state championship in Ohio Stadium.
After 723 teams began the
season in August and 224
earned playoff berths, these
14 teams have advanced
through four weeks of the
playoffs and will now end
their season in Ohio Stadium,
which is hosting the championships for the first time
since 1989.
Ohio Stadium hosted
47 OHSAA playoff games
from 1972-89, with 37 of
those being state championship games. When natural
grass was installed in 1990,
the OHSAA was asked to
move its football state championships to another location. The OHSAA found a
home in Stark County, with
Canton Fawcett Stadium and
Massillon Paul Brown Tiger
Stadium sharing the state
championship games for the
last 24 years. When FieldTurf
was installed in Ohio
Stadium in 2008, the conversation began to have the
games return to the famous
Horseshoe stadium.
The OHSAA state championship games in 2014 and
2015 will be hosted in Ohio
Stadium. The location of the
finals after 2015 has not yet
been determined.

Kirtland (Div. VI) and Marion Local (Div.
VII). There is one match-up of No. 1 vs.
No. 2 ranked teams, that coming in Div. V
(Canton Central Catholic vs. Coldwater).
The 14 state finalists had the following seeds when the playoffs began: No.
1 (7), No. 2 (2), No. 3 (2), No. 4 (2) and
No. 5 (1, Huber Heights Wayne). The
Div. I state final is a rematch of the 2010
championship game, won by Lakewood
St. Edward 35-28.
Lady Bearcats claw

Musketeers in cage action
By JIM METCALFE
DHI Media Sports Editor
jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com
SPENCERVILLE One
might have figured that the Fort
Jennings girls basketball team
would have had an advantage
having already played a game
the night before when they
visited the New Walk-In Closet
of Spencerville High School
Saturday night.
Not so fast.
The host Lady Bearcats,
opening the 2014-15 season,
came out ready to go and went
on to a 50-36 non-league victory.
The Bearcats came out looking to push the tempo, while
the Lady Musketeers (0-2)
wanted to slow it down. Check
goes on the visitors side: they
came out and took a 17-6 lead
at the end of eight minutes
of basketball. Junior Caitlyn
Probst led the Black Attack
with seven of her nine markers in the period and classmate
Jacey Grigsby notched six of
her 11 game points.
For the Lady Musketeers,
the only two scorers were
senior Hannah Clay with four
and senior Erin Osting two.
There wasnt much different about the second period
as far as the Bearcat attack
they scored 17 markers
as well, with senior Emilee
Meyer getting hot by burying
three triples (11 points in the
canto, a game-high 18 overall)
against the Musketeer zone.

The Orange and Black just
started to get untracked offensively with junior Kasidy
Klausing (8 counters) downing six and senior Gabby
Clippinger (8 markers) five.
In the end, after a Meyer bomb
doubled up the score at 34-17
late, Klausing scored from the
block with a minute left for a
34-19 halftime score.
The Bearcat scoring pace
slowed down in the third
period, netting only 10 points.
Alas for the visitors, theirs did,
too; they managed a mere five.
The largest Spencerville lead
was 21 and the lowest was 18
as a single by junior Jessica
Young at 30 seconds reduced
the Musketeer deficit to 44-24.
All that was left in the fourth
stanza was the final margin of
victory as the Musketeers simply didnt have the firepower
this night to mount a challenged. The closest they got
was the final score as Young
made the nights final basket.
We played St. Marys last
night (a 56-48 loss) and it was
more of a tempo we liked.
Tonight, they pushed the tempo and we struggled to adjust
to it, Fort Jennings coach
Rhonda Liebrecht said. We
fell behind and had to battle
from behind. We started to get
back better the second period.
We did a decent job offensively
but we didnt get many second
shots.

Columbus Grove falls to

3-time champs in State semis
By Charlie Warnimont
DHI Media Correspondent
LIMA Columbus
Grove was looking to make a
big defensive stop after scoring to grow some momentum
they felt they were getting.
Against Marion Local,
that is easier said than done.
The Flyers answered
the Bulldog touchdown
and continued to add to it
as they pulled away from
the Bulldogs for a 55-7 win
in their Division VII State
semifinal contest at Spartan
Stadium Saturday night.
The win sends the Flyers
(14-0) back to the Division
VII State finals Saturday at
10 a.m. against Norwalk St.
Paul (13-1) at Ohio Stadium
on The Ohio State University
campus in Columbus.
Marion Local will be
looking for its fourth straight
state championship.
The Bulldogs ended their
season at 9-5.
Columbus
Groves
Flyers were back in business after Wilker intercepted

a Reid Stechschulte pass at
the Bulldog 44. It took only
one play for Marion Local
to get back to the end zone
as senior running back Jacy
Goettemoeller found an opening around right end and basically was untouched on his
scoring run. The extra point
made it 14-0 with 5:12 left in
the opening quarter.
Columbus Groves offense
produced its only scoring
drive of the night on the next
possession. It appeared the
Bulldogs would have to punt
after three running plays left
them facing 4th-and-1. With
Joey Warnecke in punt formation, he took the snap and
ran around right end for six
yards for a first down.
On the next play,
Stechschulte dropped back
and found receiver David
Bogart behind the Flyer
defense. Bogart caught the
pass and went into the end
zone to complete a 64-yard

defense forced the Flyers
to punt after three plays on
their first possession but after
a Bulldog punt, the Flyers
put together an 8-play drive
that ended with wide receiver Hunter Wilker tossing a
12-yard touchdown pass to
Kyle Homan with 6:20 left in
the opening quarter. Wilker
had come in motion across
the field and took a pitch from
quarterback Dustin Rethman
as he continued across the
field.
That was a big play. We
have been practicing that
some throughout the year,
Marion Local coach Tim
Goodwin said. Hunter is
such a dangerous threat to
run it, it worked really well.
The old man (Flyer assistant
coach Bill Goodwin) came
up with it; I have to give him
some credit. When he first
came up with it, I thought he
was crazy and I thought if it
wasnt there, Hunter could
get the first down. It was a
good call.
Three plays later, the
touchdown play. With the

extra point, it was 14-7 Flyers
with 3:16 left in the first quarter.
With the Bulldogs looking for a stop to gain more
momentum, they were unable
to do it as the Flyers went 80
yards in nine plays, all running, before Goettemoeller
capped the drive with an
18-yard touchdown run on
4th-and-2. It was one of several fourth downs the Flyers
converted in the game.
When we punted the first
time, it wasnt very impressive, Goodwin said. I didnt
think we would gain much
field position, with this wind,
and I have a lot of confidence
in our offense. Sometimes it
works, sometimes it doesnt.
Marion Local punted just
the one time in the game for
15 yards, into a strong wind.
Columbus Grove punted six
times for an average of 28.2
yards a kick.
There were a few times
in the first half where we had
them in fourth-down situa-

tailback Jacy Goettemoeller.
tions and they went for it and
got it. That kind of killed us a
little bit, Grove coach Andy
Schafer said. When you get
them in fourth down, you
want them to punt to make a
stop but we couldnt and they
kind of hurt us the first half.
Football is a game of momentum and when youre playing
the 3-time State champs and
you cant swing the momentum, you are in trouble. We
just couldnt get the momentum swung our way.
After the Bulldogs second punt of the half, the
Flyers added to their lead as
Goettemoeller scored on an
8-yard run with 6:57 left in
the half.
The Flyers stopped themselves on their next two possessions as they couldnt
convert on fourth down and
fumbled on their next drive
with the Bulldogs recovering.
Columbus Grove was
unable to take advantage of
the turnover and after another
punt, they had the ball at their
own 45 and less than a minute
left in the half. Despite two
sacks of Rethman and one
timeout, the Flyers scored
with time running out in the
half.
After the Bulldogs second
sack of Rethman, by Brant
Follas, Rethman dropped
back and fired a pass towards
the left corner of the end zone
and Wilker. Bogart was back
there for the Grove defense
and appeared in a great position to intercept the ball.
However, it went through
his hands and into the hands
of Wilker for a touchdown
with zeros on the scoreboard
clock. With the extra point it
was 35-7 at the half.
The Flyers continued to
pull away in the third quarter as Wilker scored on a
69-yard run to cap another
1-play drove by Marion Local
commencing the 30-point
mercy rule and running
clock and Homan had a
4-yard run as Marion Local
started to rest its first-team
players.
Backup running back Nate
Moeller finished the scoring
in the fourth quarter.
Goettemoeller led the
Marion Local offense with

177 yards on 15 carries, all
in the first half. Wilker had
69 yards on two carries and
Aaron Nietfeld 63 yards on
11 carries. Rethman was 6-of15 passing for 112 yards as
Wilker caught four passes for
95 yards.
When youre looking at
scouting before the game,
youre just trying to find their
weaknesses, Schafer said.
There just really arent a
lot, which is why they are in
week 15 the last few years.
Hats off to them.
Columbus Grove had just
173 yards of offense for the
game as they were held to 49
yards rushing on 27 carries.
Warnecke finished the night
with just 29 yards rushing
and Stechschulte was 3-of-12
passing with two interceptions.
They were really doing
a good job of being aggressive, Schafer said. They
blitz on every single play.
This is the first time all season where we saw a blitz. It
was kind of a challenge for
us. To be flat honest, they are
just good.

Crestview captures tip-off title with win over Lady Green

By Kevin Wannemacher
DHI Media Group Business Manager
kwannemacher@timesbulletin.com
VAN WERT In a battle of perennial northwest Ohio girls basketball

powers, Crestview jumped in front
of Ottoville early and made their
lead stand up in a 54-40 victory over
Ottoville Saturday night at Van Wert
High School.
With the victory, the Lady Knights captured the championship of the McDonalds
Tip-Off Tournament.
Crestview used a pair of early 3-pointers from Mackenzie
Riggenbach, along with one by Emily
Bauer, to grab a 16-8 advantage after
one quarter.
It was a lead that the Lady Knights
kept the rest of the night.
We were able to get off to a good

start, noted Knight head coach Greg
Rickard. We hit some shots early on and
did a good job of executing what we
wanted to do.
Ottoville coach Dave Kleman
thought Crestviews experience
was a big factor in the contest.
That is the type of team we
are working to become, commented Kleman. Theyve got a
veteran group of girls that have played
together for a while now and it shows.
That is a good basketball team.
The Lady Knights widened the
margin to 26-10 early in the second
quarter.
After a pair of free throws by
Ottovilles Bridget Landin, the
Knights answered with two more
Riggenbach treys to make it 22-10.
Lindsey Motycka then added a bucket and

a pair of foul shots as Crestview pushed
the lead 16.
Ottoville would work its way back into
the contest, however.
A basket by Lexie Wannemacher and
two Landin free throws cut the deficit to 26-14 before Motycka picked
up two more baskets for Crestview.
Three-pointers by Nicole Kramer
and Annie Lindeman, along with a
bucket by Lyndsey Wannemacher,
pulled Ottoville within 32-23 at the
intermission.
We played well in spurts but we have
to become more consistent, continued
Rickard. Developing consistency and taking away the stretches where dont execute
are areas we need to improve.

Lincolnview Lady Lancers roll past Continental

Fort Jennings junior Kasidy Klausing and

Spencerville senior Audrey Bowsher battle for the
ball Saturday night at Spencerville. (DHI Media/
Randy Shellenbarger)
CONTINENTAL Led by
senior forward Julia Thatcher,
Lincolnviews Lady Lancers
stormed out of the gate with a
62-32 win at Continental
on Saturday night.
We did a lot of good
things on both ends of
the floor, Lancer head
coach Dan Williamson
said following the game.
I thought our effort was
good, said Pirates coach Chris
Hoeffel. We start a freshman
and a sophomore and come
off the bench with basically
all sophomores, so it was a
big-time learning experience
tonight.
The Lancers jumped ahead
early, outscoring Continental
23-7 in the opening quarter largely on the back of a
19-1 run during the period.
Baskets by Hannah McCleery
and Bowersock preceded a
Thatcher
3-pointer
to establish an early
7-2 Lancer lead, and
Thatcher added two
more quick hoops to
make it 11-2.
Julia had an allaround good game, which is
what weve got to have from
her, Williamson added.
Hannah McCleery, same
thing. She does such a good
job defensively, and she does
so many good things for us.
The Lancers used a physical defense that often resulted in foul calls. The Lancers
were over the limit early in
the first half and the Lady
Pirates wound up taking 17
free throws, though they managed to convert on only seven
of them. Additionally,
the Lancers got strong
play from their post
players, with Katlyn
Wendel and Stephanie
Longwell providing
toughness on the glass.
Lincolnview outrebounded
the Pirates 40-26 in the game,
including a 16-7 advantage
on the offensive boards. The
Lancers held a 13-0 advantage
in second-chance scoring.
Katlyn Wendel dove on the
floor so many times (tonight);

you cant ask for anything more
as a coach, Williamson continued. Stephanie Longwell
played a heck of a game - she
got some offensive boards.
Thats a credit to (assistant
coach Al Arnold), hes really developed the post
players. He works with
them everyday in practice and you can really
tell.
Thatcher paced the
Lancer effort with a
team-high 16 points while collecting five rebounds. Ashton
Bowersock added 14 points
and senior Stephanie Longwell
scored seven points and
grabbed seven rebounds.

LANCERS
(Continued from page 6)

The Lancers held a 38-17 lead
at the break, but continued to
widen the margin in the second half. Strong play off the
bench by a trio of Lincolnview
freshmen, Alana Williams,
Alena Looser and Kayla
Schimmoeller, contributed to
the victory.
The freshmen came off the
bench, even in the first quarter,
and gave us good minutes,
Williamson noted. They did
some good things out there.
Leading the way for
Continental was senior guard
McKenna Scott, who led all
scorers with 18 points. Scotts
BEARCATS

Having good depth is the
key to the Bearcat attack.
We play nine girls that we
are very comfortable with. Our
level of play doesnt drop off
at all, first-year Bearcat coach
Greg Ekis explained. I really
liked how we executed our
offense tonight; we got a lot
of back-door layups and good
shots. The last month, we have
worked on team chemistry;
these girls like each other and
work so well together.
In junior varsity action,
Vanessa Wallenhorst dropped
in 13 and Haley Wittler 10 to
pace the Musketeers to a 38-31
triumph.
Carleigh Hefner led the

Ohio State player found dead

of self-inflicted gunshot
By RUSTY MILLER and

LISA CORNWELL
Associated Press
COLUMBUS An Ohio
State football player who disappeared shortly after sending a text message about his
concussions was found dead
Sunday in a dumpster, apparently of a self-inflicted gunshot wound, police said.
Police spokesman Sgt. Rich
Weiner said police received
a call around 2:30 p.m. from
someone reporting a body
found in the trash bin, adding
a woman and her son apparently were looking for items
in the dumpster when they
found the body.
At this time we are able
to confirm through tattoos
here at the scene that it is the
body of Kosta Karageorge,
Weiner said.
The police spokesman said
the preliminary investiga-
tion showed that Karageorge

apparently died of a selfinflicted gunshot wound,
adding a handgun was found
in the dumpster.
Police found the body near
the campus after a search
began when Karageorge went
missing Wednesday. The
senior defensive tackle had
last been seen at his apartment in Columbus, when his
roommates said he left to go
on a walk.
The body was found within
a couple hundred yards of
Karageorges home and about
a half block from High Street,
the main artery of the campus. Sunday evening, no one
answered when an Associated
Press reporter knocked on the
metal door of Karageorges
apartment.
Karageorges parents filed
a missing-person report
Wednesday evening and his
Associated Press
GREEN BAY, Wis. Aaron Rodgers
threw for two touchdowns, Eddie Lacy powered for key yards in the fourth quarter
and the Green Bay Packers fended off the
New England Patriots 26-21 Sunday in a
high-profile matchup between Super Bowl
contenders.
Rodgers bested Tom Brady in the first
meeting between the star quarterbacks as
starters. Rodgers connected with Richard
Rodgers and Jordy Nelson for long touchdowns.
Leading by five, the defense held firm
late for the Packers (9-3). Mike Daniels and
Mike Neal combined to sack Brady on third
down for a 9-yard loss and kicker Stephen
Gostkowkski pushed a 47-yard field-goal
attempt wide right with 2:40 left.
The Packers sealed it after Rodgers converted to Cobb on third-and-4 with the
Patriots out of timeouts.
Brady finished with two touchdown
passes to Brandon LaFell for New England
(9-3), which had its 7-game winning streak
snapped. The second score came from 15
yards early in the fourth quarter to get within
23-21.
Green Bay settled for four field goals
from Mason Crosby of 35 yards or less,
including a 28-yarder to make it a 5-point
lead with 8:41 left. That kick came after
rookie Davante Adams dropped a potential
touchdown pass on third-and-5 from the New
England 10.
Bengals 14, Buccaneers 13
TAMPA, Fla. Andy Dalton ran for
one touchdown and threw to A.J. Green
for another, helping the Bengals overcome
numerous mistakes.
Dalton shrugged off three first-half interceptions and the Bengals (8-3-1) weathered
10 penalties and an ill-advised onside kick
that cost them momentum after taking the
lead in the second half to win on the road for
the third consecutive week.
The Bengals lead the tightest division
race in the NFL, with a 1 -game lead over
each of their AFC North rivals all of
whom lost.
Tampa Bay (2-10) threatened in the closing minutes. However, a 21-yard completion
that would have put the Bucs in field goal
range was overturned after a replay review
confirmed the Bucs had 12 men on the field
on the play.
The ball was moved back to the 46, an
additional 14 seconds were added to the
clock and Tampa Bay turned over the ball
on downs.
Chargers 34, Ravens 33
BALTIMORE Philip Rivers capped
a frantic drive with a 1-yard touchdown
pass to Eddie Royal with 38 seconds to go.
The Chargers (8-4) trailed 30-20 with 6:13
remaining and 33-27 with 2:22 left before
Rivers brought them back.
TIP-OFF

Crestview led by as much
as 38-25 in the third quarter
but the Big Green would hang
around.
Brooke Mangas connected
on a bucket and added 3 of 4
free throws in the quarter to go
along with a basket and free
throw by Alicia Honigford as
Ottoville closed the quarter on
a 10-4 run to get within 42-35
entering the final period.
Ottoville actually pulled
within 44-40 on a Haley
Landwehr bucket with 5:22
remaining, but it would be the
final points of the night for the
Big Green.
They were able to answer
any run we had and thats what
veteran teams do, Kleman
noted. I told the girls after
the game that Crestview is an
example of what we are striving to become.
The Lady Knights ended
the game on a 10-0 run, including connecting on 6 of 7 free
throws down the stretch to seal
the victory.
Riggenbach led the way for
Crestview with 19 points while
Emily Bauer added 13 and
Motycka chipped in a dozen.
Motycka
topped
the
Knights with seven rebounds
with Terra Crowle, Riggenbach
and Bauer each getting four.
Kennis Mercer recorded three
steals.
Weve got some things to
work on, Rickard concluded.
With not having a game next
week, it gives the opportunity
Karageorge
mother, Susan Karageorge,

told police he had had several
concussions and a few spells
of being extremely confused,
according to the report. She
said that at about 1:30 a.m.
Wednesday he texted a message apologizing and saying
the concussions had messed
up his head.
NFL Capsules
Following a pass interference call against

Anthony Levine in the end zone, Rivers hit
Royal to conclude an 80-yard march to the
Chargers third straight win.
Baltimore (7-5) lost at home in November
for the first time since 2009.
Rivers went for 34 for 45 for 383 yards
and three touchdowns, two to Keenan Allen.
Joe Flacco threw for two scores for
Baltimore, which wasted four field goals
from Justin Tucker and 106 yards rushing
from Justin Forsett.
Saints 35, Steelers 32
PITTSBURGH Drew Brees threw
five touchdowns for the ninth time in his
career as the Saints dominated the sloppy
Steelers.
Kenny Stills caught five passes for a
career-high 162 yards and a score as the
Saints (5-7) ended a 3-game losing streak.
The Steelers (7-5) kept New Orleans
tight end Jimmy Graham without a catch but
it hardly mattered. Ben Watson, Marques
Colston, Erik Lorig and Nick Toon hauled in
touchdowns.
Ben Roethlisberger passed for 435 yards
and two touchdowns but also threw two
interceptions for the Steelers.
Bills 26, Browns 10
ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. Quarterback
Kyle Orton and defensive end Jerry Hughes
scored touchdowns 10 seconds apart in the
third quarter.
Orton put the Bills ahead 7-3 with
a 3-yard pass to Chris Hogan. Buffalos
defense scored on the next play from scrimmage when Hughes stripped the ball from
running back Terrence West and returned the
fumble 18 yards.
It was too deep of a hole for Browns
rookie quarterback Johnny Manziel to dig out
of. Taking over with 12:01 left after starter
Brian Hoyer threw his second interception,
Manziel capped an 8-play, 80-yard drive with
a 10-yard run that cut Buffalos lead to 20-10.
The Bills (7-5) won their second straight.
Cleveland (7-5) lost for only the second time
in six games.
Falcons 29, Cardinals 18
ATLANTA Julio Jones had a career
day, catching 10 passes for 189 yards and a
touchdown to keep the Falcons in first place
in the NFC South.
Arizona (9-3) still leads the NFC West
after its second straight loss but its lead over
defending Super Bowl champion Seattle
dwindled to a single game.
More troubling for the Cardinals, they
had gone more than 11 quarters without an
offensive touchdown until a meaningless
score with just over a minute remaining.
Steven Jackson broke off a 55-yard run
his longest since 2009 to set up a
touchdown on the Falcons opening possession.
Jones hauled in a 32-yard scoring pass
to focus on areas we need to

improve in.
Mangas paced the Big
Green with 13 points and
Lindeman chipped in seven.
Bridget Landin paced Ottoville
with five rebounds while
Mangas, Kramer and Alexis
Thorbahn each picked up three.
Mangas also recorded five
steals for Ottoville.
Ottoville hosts Lincolnview
1 p.m. Saturday.
In the consolation game,
Van Wert outscored Wayne
Trace 49-29 over the final three
quarters and posted a 56-48
victory over the Raiders.
After trailing 19-7 after
eight minutes of action, the
Cougars controlled the final
three quarters in moving to 1-1
on the season. Wayne Trace
drops to 0-2 on the year.
It was all Raiders early in
the game.
Leading 4-3, Wayne Trace
scored ten straight points to
push the margin to 14-3. After
Van Werts Emily Bair hit
one of two free throws and
Emma Kohn scored a basket,
the Raiders added a Danae
Myers basket and an Erin Mohr
3-point play to post the 19-7
first quarter lead.
The Cougars, though,
would rally with an 11-0 run in
the second quarter.
An early 3-pointer in the
period by Wayne Traces Leah
Sinn made it 22-9 Raiders
before Van Wert responded.

and Erin Morrow, two Morrow
I am sorry if I am an
embarrassment, he said.
University athletic officials said they and the team
were grieved to learn of
Karageorges death.
Ohio State Athletic Director
Gene Smith wrote in a text
message when asked about
any plans to honor the player or logistics for the team
to attend the funeral that it
was too soon to answer those
questions. The Buckeyes will
play Wisconsin in the Big Ten
championship game Saturday
at Lucas Oil Stadium in
Indianapolis.
A former Ohio State wrestler, Karageorge joined the
football team as a walk-on
this season. He played in one
game and was among two
dozen seniors slated to be
recognized at the final home
game Saturday against rival
Michigan. The Buckeyes
won, 42-28.
and Matt Bryant kicked a career-best five

field goals for the Falcons (5-7).
Texans 45, Titans 21
HOUSTON Ryan Fitzpatrick threw
for a franchise-record six touchdowns and
DeAndre Hopkins had a career-best 238
yards receiving and two scores. Fitzpatrick
returned to the lineup after being benched for
two games for Ryan Mallett, who suffered a
season-ending chest injury last week.
Tennessees Zach Mettenberger injured
his right shoulder playing behind a makeshift
offensive line missing three starters. Jake
Locker took over in the third quarter and
threw for 91 yards with a touchdown and two
interceptions for the Titans (2-10).
Rams 52, Raiders 0
ST. LOUIS Tre Mason scored two
long touchdowns and Shaun Hill accounted
for three TDs in the rout. St. Louis had an
out-of-nowhere 38-point first half that tied
for second biggest in franchise history.
Mason had 113 yards rushing on six carries in the half with an 89-yard score, plus a
35-yard jaunt on a screen pass that opened
the scoring. Hill was 12 for 15 for 178 yards
and two TDs and ran for a 2-yard score.
Colts 49, Redskins 27
INDIANAPOLIS Andrew Luck threw
a career-high five touchdown passes and
topped the 300-yard mark for a franchiserecord 10th time this season.
Indianapolis (8-4) won for the eighth
time in 10 games since starting 0-2.
He did all that while Robert Griffin
III, the No. 2 overall pick behind Luck in
2012, watched from the sideline. Griffins
replacement, Colt McCoy, was 31 of 47 for
a career-best 392 yards and three TDs, also
a career high.
Vikings 31, Panthers 13
MINNEAPOLIS Adam Thielen and
Everson Griffen each returned blocked punts
by Minnesota for touchdowns, the fifth time
in league history one team had two in the
same game.
Teddy Bridgewater threw for two scores
without a turnover and Griffen had two of the
four sacks by the Vikings (5-7) against Cam
Newton.
This was the seventh-coldest game in
Vikings history, with a kickoff temperature
of 12 degrees. Theyre playing outside this
year for the first time since 1981.
Jaguars 25, Giants 24
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. Josh Scobee
kicked a 43-yard field goal with 28 seconds
remaining and the Jaguars rallied from a
21-point deficit.
The Jaguars (2-10) ended a 4-game losing streak and dealt the Giants (3-9) a
seventh consecutive loss that could raise
more questions about coach Tom Coughlins
future.
free throws and a trey from

Riley Jones got the Cougars
within 22-18.
Following a Raider miss, a
pair of Elizabeth Keirns foul
shots pulled Van Wert within
22-20.
Wayne Trace answered with
two free throws by Temple
along with a basket and two
foul shots from Estie Sinn in
pushing the margin back to
28-24 at the intermission.
I thought the girls did a
good job of competing tonight,
commented Raider head coach
Bethany Hughes. We showed
a lot of positives and we also
saw some areas where we need
to get better. Now we have to
go back to work and improve
in those areas.
With the Raiders in front
36-31 early in the third quarter, Van Wert answered with
consecutive baskets by Kohn,
Cassidy Sinning, Kohn again
and Morrow to grab a 39-38
lead at the end of three quarters. The Cougars took advantage of 11 Raider turnovers in
the third quarter.
We didnt take care of the
ball very well there in the third
quarter, Hughes added.
Wayne Trace rallied to tie
the contest at 42-42 on a Mohr
bucket in the fourth quarter but
Van Wert quickly responded.
A Morrow trey and a Bair
basket put the Cougars back on
top 47-42 and the hosts would
never trail again.
The Raiders cut the deficit
to three twice, pulling within
47-44 on a Temple basket and

49-46 after a pair of Gracie
Gudakunst foul shots, however, Van Wert answered with a
Kohn basket and two Morrow
free throws to seal the 56-48
victory.
I thought we did a better
job of rebounding tonight and
we improved from (Friday),
concluded the Raider head
coach. Weve got a week off
next week and we will work
hard to get better.
Mohr led all scorers with
21 points for the Raiders while
Temple chipped in ten and
Myers added eight. Temple
also had nine boards for Wayne
Trace, which outrebounded
the Cougars 35-27. Myers and
Mohr both picked up eight
rebounds in the loss.
Morrow topped the Cougar
efforts with 19 points with
Kohn adding 16 and Jones
posting nine. Morrow also
recorded nine rebounds for Van
Wert and picked up five steals.
Van Wert committed 19
turnovers compared to Wayne
Traces 25. The Cougars finished the night 19 of 44 from
the field (43 percent) but connected on 17 of 34 (50 percent) after the first quarter.
Meanwhile, Wayne Trace was
20 of 52 overall (38 percent)
but only 11 of 37 (30 percent)
in the final three periods.
Van Wert returns to action
on Thursday as the Cougars
host Delphos Jefferson. Wayne
Trace returns to the court on
December 9, when it hosts
Bryan.

DEAR DOCTOR K: Im a man in my 60s. I

had a heart attack a few months ago, and now
Im afraid to have sex. Is it too strenuous for
my heart?
DEAR READER: Your question is a
common one. Many of my patients whove
had a heart attack wonder if and when it will
be safe to resume sexual activity.
I can understand why. Physical exertion
causes the heart to work harder, and if youve
had a heart attack, your heart has been injured.
My patients often worry about having another
heart attack, or about dying during intercourse.
These concerns are understandable. But
according to my Harvard Medical School
colleague, cardiologist Thomas Lee, they are
unfounded.
Less than 1 percent of all heart attacks occur
during sexual activity. The risk is as low for
men who have suffered a heart attack as it is
for those without heart disease.
The risk of dying during intercourse is

And please, dont forget that the holiday

My answer: The greatest gift a person can
give is the gift of yourSELF. If you know
someone who could use an outing, offer the
most meaningful gift of all -- an invitation to
share a meal with you or your family.

even lower. But interestingly, according to

the American Heart Association, extramarital
sexual activity increases this risk. That may
be because extramarital sex is more likely to
happen with a younger partner in an unfamiliar
setting, and anxiety about having extramarital
sex may add to the surge of adrenaline that
makes the heart work harder.
If youve had angioplasty or bypass surgery,
your doctor will tell you how long to wait
before resuming sexual activity. In general,
if you have had angioplasty, wait until the
puncture site has healed. After open coronary
artery bypass surgery, wait about six to eight
weeks, until your breastbone has healed.
Dr. Lee notes that if youve had minimally
invasive or robotic bypass surgery, most
doctors will advise you to resume sexual
activity once you feel ready. Thats because
minimally invasive surgery does not involve
cutting the breastbone.
As always, let your symptoms (or lack
thereof) be your guide. For example, if you
dont have symptoms of heart disease -breathlessness or palpitations, for example
-- you are likely at low risk of having a heart
attack during sex. The same is true if you can
pass a stress test without experiencing chest

pain. Relative to any vigorous exercise -jogging, biking, swimming -- the amount of
exertion during sex (and, hence, the need for
your heart to work harder) is pretty small.
On the other hand, do not have sex if you
experience symptoms of heart disease at
any time. Your heart attack was caused by
disease of the arteries of your heart. Having
symptoms of heart disease after youve had a
heart attack can mean, unfortunately, that the
disease in your arteries is still threatening your
heart. You need to bring this to the attention of
your doctor! Delay sexual activity until your
condition is stable.
More important, everyone recovering
normally from a heart attack actually needs
regular exercise. It is a part of every cardiac
rehabilitation program. Regular exercise
under medical supervision strengthens the
heart. Dont be afraid of exercising after a
heart attack: Its good for you. And when your
doctor has cleared you to do it, sex is good for
you, too.

Congress crams unfinished

agenda into final days
Fans go wild
over Star
Wars teaser
WASHINGTON (AP) Like a student who

waited until the night before a deadline, lawmakers resuming work today will try to cram two
years of leftover business into two weeks, while
also seeking to avoid a government shutdown.
Their to-do list includes keeping the government running into the new year, renewing
expired tax breaks for individuals and businesses
and approving a defense policy measure that has
passed for more than 50 years in a row.
Also pending are President Barack Obamas
requests for money to combat Islamic State
militants, battle Ebola and deal with the influx of
unaccompanied Central American children who
have crossed into the U.S.
Among the lower-profile items on the agenda
are renewing the governments terrorism risk
insurance program and extending the ban on state
and federal taxes on access to the Internet.
Thats a lot to get done before the current
Congress adjourns in mid-December. The new
Congress, with Republicans in charge of both
the House and Senate, will be seated the week
of Jan. 5.
Obamas move to protect millions of immigrants from deportation proceedings and make
them eligible for work permits appears to have
made it more difficult to navigate the mustdo items through a Capitol where cooperation
already was in short supply.
The No. 1 item is preventing a government closure when a temporary funding measure expires Dec. 11. The House and Senate
Appropriations committees are negotiating a $1
trillion-plus spending bill for the budget year that
began Oct. 1 and are promising to have it ready
by the week of Dec. 8.
The tax-writing committees are trying to
A long time ago in a galaxy far, far

away, a helmetless storm trooper appeared
in frame, panicked and sweaty in the middle of vast desert landscape, kicking off the
first official look at Star Wars: The Force
Awakens.
After months of leaked images and idle
speculation around director J.J. Abrams
film, Disney and Lucasfilm on Friday
debuted an 88-second teaser trailer for the
seventh entry into the blockbuster franchise
online and in about 30 North American
theaters.
The dark, energetic teaser, which has
been watched nearly 3 million times on
YouTube, blasts viewers with quick, disjointed images of classic and slightly altered
Star Wars images, like TIE Fighters,
X-Wings, droids and the Millennium
Falcon.
Set to a new John Williams score,
audiences get a peek at newcomers John
Boyega (the storm trooper in question),
Daisy Ridley, Oscar Isaac and a mysterious caped man in a frozen forest carrying
a three-pronged light saber. Many assume
the sinister, lumbering figure to be Adam
Driver, who is rumored to be playing a villain in the highly secretive movie.
Andy Serkis is responsible for the
haunting voiceover narration throughout
the short spot, which previews a world 30
years after the events of Return of the
Jedi.
Despite some negative reaction, overall,
fans were not disappointed, even with the
sobering knowledge that the actual film
doesnt hit theaters till Dec. 18, 2015.
Fame

This is just a wonderful day, Dr.
Lauf said Sunday. Im proud to be part
of it and part of the group that is part of
the Hall of Fame.
Sue (Youngpeter) Hohenbrink and
her Blue Jay teammates walked into St.
John Arena for their first girls basketball
state semifinal game in March 1977.
They looked up into the massive arena
at the twinkling lights far overhead.
Then the Blue Jays got down to business and rolled to a 21-point win on
their way to their first state championship.
Hohenbrink developed a love for the
game in grade school and just knew that
someday she and all other girls would
get their chance to play. That chance
came in the 1975-76 school year, the
first year of OHSAA-sanctioned girls
basketball in Ohio. She was a freshman
in a St. Johns program in only its third
year of existence. Under the direction
of first year coach Fran Voll, the young
Blue Jays experienced modest success
with a 12-6 record. In the next three
seasons, Hohenbrink and classmates
Jeanne Arnzen, Deb Elwer and Laura
Cork Grothouse got noticed. The Blue
Jays went to three consecutive state
final fours, winning two state titles and
compiling a record of 74-1. As a senior,
she became the first girls basketball
player at St. Johns to score 1,000 points
with a 28-point effort vs. St. Marys her
senior year. She finished her career
with 1,246 points and earned All-State
honors three years including First-Team
All-State her senior year.
Hohenbrink received offers to play

renew a bundle of expired tax breaks such as

the deduction for state and local sales taxes and
the research and experimentation credit. Some,
like tax credits for renewable energy projects
such as wind farms, are a hard sell for GOP
conservatives, but eagerly sought by Midwestern
Republicans such as Sen. Charles Grassley of
Iowa.
The House has passed legislation that would
make several of the tax breaks permanent; the
Senates approach has been to extend them only
for 2014 and 2015. Negotiators appeared to
near an agreement last week only to have the
White House put it on ice with a veto threat. The
administration said an emerging plan by House
Republicans and top Senate Democrats was tilted
too far in favor of businesses.
The presidents authority to arm and train
moderate Syrian rebels to fight Islamic State
militants in Iraq and Syria expires Dec. 11.
Lawmakers probably will renew it while postponing action until 2015 on a broader, new
authorization to use military force.
Obama also is requesting more than $5 billion
to pay for sending additional noncombat troops
and munitions to Iraq and cover other military
and intelligence costs associated with fighting the
militants. He wants $6.2 billion to tackle Ebola at
its source in West Africa and to secure the U.S.
against any possible outbreak. Also pending is
a $3.7 billion request to address the immigrant
children.
Legislation to renew the governments terrorism risk insurance program, which expires
at years end, is eagerly sought by the construction, real estate and hospitality businesses. But

struggle for the Flyers who had only
one senior (a transfer) and Hohenbrink

season at Dayton, the Flyers finished
20-10 with a berth in the now NCAA

was again voted captain of the team as

in the event of a terrorist act that causes more
than $100 million in losses.
The annual defense authorization bill has
passed every year for more than five decades and
the chairmen of the House and Senate Armed
Services committees are eager to avoid breaking the streak. Rep. Howard Buck McKeon,
R-Calif., and Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich., are
both retiring after long tenures in Congress.
Negotiators remain at odds over the Pentagons
cost-saving proposals to trim military benefits.
Facing diminished budgets, three defense
secretaries Robert Gates, Leon Panetta and
Chuck Hagel have insisted that the cost of
personnel benefits have become unsustainable
and threaten the Pentagons ability to prepare the
military for fighting a war. Military pay and benefits account for the largest share of the budget,
$167.2 billion out of $495.6 billion.
The Defense Department has proposed a
slight increase in pharmacy co-payments and
a gradual reduction in the basic allowance for
housing, from 100 percent for off-base housing
costs to 94 percent.
The Senate Armed Services Committee
endorsed the cuts, but the House committee
rejected them.
Theres some modest changes requested
of our personnel side that makes sense, Sen.
Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., said in an interview.
Lawmakers opposed to the changes and powerful outside military organizations argue that
the benefits help attract men and women to the
all-volunteer force where they and their families
make unique sacrifices.
Santa
was shortly after that the long history

of the Sisters of Notre Dame in Delphos
began.
On Aug. 2, 1876, the Sisters of Notre
Dame arrived in Delphos. Their first
duty was to care for the elderly but by
September they had also begun teaching two girls classes in the German
Department School. It was at this time
that the Sisters of Notre Dame became
a fixture in St. Johns School, a tradition
which continues today.
More than 50 daughters of St. Johns
have answered the call to become Sisters
of Notre Dame.
We are honored and excited to be
here today, Provincial Superior Sr.
Mary Delores Gatliff said. We are
approaching our 140th year at St. Johns
and the faith of the families and support
of the parish have been wonderful.
Gunder was a fixture at St. Johns for
43 years teaching speech, television
programming and film appreciation. He
also directed 40 senior class musicals.
I am very proud of the successes
of my students who went on to careers
in television, radio and marketing, he
said. In my years at St. Johns, I
worked with fantastic faculty, administrations and staff. St. Johns is a remarkable place with a committed parish
and student body working together to
further our Catholic, Christian and educational goals.
Gunder was humbled to join the Hall
of Fame.
This is an excellent day, he said. I
am very proud to be a part of St. Johns
Hall of Fame and grateful for all the
opportunities I had here as a teacher.

Crump said the family is still considering civil litigation such as a wrongful death lawsuit,
but dont let that get confused with the fact that they really wanted the killer of their child to
be held accountable.
Victoria Rutherford of Ferguson said she believed Wilson should have not only resigned, but
been convicted of a crime.
Im upset. I have a 16-year-old son. It couldve been him. I feel that he was absolutely in
the wrong, she said.
Others residents were more sympathetic. Reed Voorhees said he hoped Wilson could find
similar work someplace where he would enjoy life, and move on with his life.
Wilson has spent his career as a police officer, first in neighboring Jennings, then in
Ferguson. Bruntrager said its all hes ever wanted to do.
In terms of what it (the resignation) means, it means at this point he doesnt have a paycheck, Bruntrager said. He has no income so hell have to make some decisions pretty
quickly.
Wilson fatally shot Brown in the middle of a Ferguson street after the two scuffled inside
Wilsons police SUV. Browns body was left for more than four hours as police investigated
and angry onlookers gathered.
Some witnesses have said Brown had his hands up when Wilson shot him. Wilson told the
grand jury that he feared for his life when Brown hit him and reached for his gun.
The U.S. Justice Department is conducting a civil rights investigation into the shooting and
a separate investigation of police department practices. It isnt clear when those results will be
announced.
The White House said President Barack Obama will hold meetings on the Ferguson situation today. A Cabinet meeting will focus on his administrations review of federal programs
that provide military-style equipment to law enforcement agencies. Meetings with civil rights
leaders, law enforcement officials and others will focus on ways to build trust and strengthen
communities.
After the grand jurys decision was announced, 12 commercial buildings in Ferguson were
destroyed by fire. There have been well over 100 arrests at St. Louis-area protests in that time.
Knowles said there hasnt been a cost assessment of the damage in Ferguson yet, and he
promised residents and businesses that the city will do all it can to seek financial help.
We are committed to rebuilding our city, he said.
Reverberations of the Ferguson events were evident at the St. Louis Rams game.
Inside the dome, five Rams players engaged in their own apparent show of solidarity for
Ferguson protesters, standing with their arms raised in a Hands Up gesture before trotting
onto the field for pregame introductions. All five Tavon Austin, Kenny Britt, Stedman
Bailey, Jared Cook and Chris Givens are black.
After the game, about 100 protesters marched in the area near the Edward Jones Dome,
chanting, Ram fans join the movement. When about three dozen St. Louis officers in
riot gear showed up to make sure things didnt get out of hand, many of the fans broke out in
spontaneous applause for the officers.

As always, the Delphos EMS will be serving up their delicious Ham and Bean Supper at the EMS building beginning at
5 p.m. for only $4 a dinner.
The Canal Commission Museum on Main Street will open
its doors at 5:30 p.m. for the annual Christmas Tree Festival.
Entertainment and activities will start at 6 p.m.
As a special treat this year, Mrs. Claus will join Santa
and the pair will be welcomed to town atop a fire truck
with a parade starting at 6:30 p.m. from the Delphos Herald
parking lot, proceeding down Main Street, turning east on
Second Street and ending at Santas house in front of the First
Financial drive through.
At the end of the parade, Santa will light the official
Christmas Tree at his house and Mrs. Claus will hold storytime
with a new Christmas story every 15 minutes.
Another new activity is the Christmas Train by Romick
Railway. Train rides will begin after the parade.
Free refreshments will be available and Santa will have his
sleigh and one of his reindeer for the kids to see. Parents and
grandparents can bring their cameras to take pictures with the
reindeer and sleigh.
A professional ice-carving artist of Ice Creations will create
a Christmas ice sculpture in the fire department parking lot
across from Santas House. The ice sculpture will remain on
site as long as Mother Natures temperature allows.
Old-fashioned Christmas carolers will stroll the streets
singing Christmas carols and spreading Christmas cheer in oldfashioned clothing and new characters including the Grinch,
Frosty and Rudolph.
Free horse and wagon rides will be available beginning after
the parade and Schrader Realty will offer a Santa workshop
with Letters to Santa at their office at 202 N. Washington St.
The Delphos Area Art Guild will welcome children to decorate Christmas cookies.
Activities will wrap up around 8:30 p.m. unless children
are still waiting to see Santa or ride in the horse-drawn wagon.
Letters can also be dropped off any time at the Santa House
in the special Santa mail slot.
Its an Old Fashioned Hometown Christmas in downtown
Delphos on Friday.
Pope, patriarch demand end to IS attacks

ISTANBUL (AP) Pope
Francis and the spiritual leader of the worlds Orthodox
Christians demanded an end
to the persecution of religious
minorities in Syria and Iraq
on Sunday and called for a
constructive dialogue with
Muslims, capping the pontiffs
three-day visit to Turkey with a
strong show of Christian unity
in the face of suffering and
violence.
Francis and Ecumenical
Patriarch Bartholomew I
issued a joint declaration urging leaders in the region to
intensify assistance to victims
of the Islamic State group, and
especially to allow Christians
who have had a presence in
the region for 2,000 years to
remain on their native lands.
The terrible situation of
Christians and all those who
are suffering in the Middle East
calls not only for our constant
prayer but also for an appropriate response on the part of the
international community, they
wrote.
Specifically, Francis told
reporters on the way home from
Istanbul that all Islamic leaders
political, religious, academic
should clearly condemn terrorism so that their people hear
it directly from their mouths.
We need a global condemnation including from
Muslims who say This
isnt who we are. This isnt the
Quran, he said.
Francis, who represents

the 1.2 billion-strong Catholic
Church, and Bartholomew,
the spiritual leader of the
worlds 300 million Orthodox
Christians, called for constructive dialogue with Islam
based on mutual respect and
friendship.
Inspired by common values
and strengthened by genuine
fraternal sentiments, Muslims
and Christians are called to
work together for the sake of
justice, peace and respect for
the dignity and rights of every
person, especially in those
regions where they once lived
for centuries in peaceful coexistence and now tragically suffer
together the horrors of war,

they said.
Francis outreach
to
Muslims in the Muslim nation,
and his comments about the
Islamic assault on Christians
next door, took center stage
during his brief visit: His prayer
in Istanbuls Sultan Ahmet
mosque was replayed again and
again on Turkish television in a
sign that his gesture was greatly
appreciated. And it seemed that
the message was reciprocated:
The grand mufti of Istanbul,
Rahmi Yaran, who received
him at the mosque, said he
hoped that Francis visit would
contribute to the world getting
along well and living in peace.
