LIMA Failed levies and cuts to staff

and programming didnt stop Delphos

schools from not only maintaining its
rating on this years state report card but
jumping up to the top spot.
The district earned the highest designa-
tion, Excellent with Distinction, according
to preliminary report card data released
Wednesday. It is a first for the district,
which has had a tough few years. Super-
intendent Frank Sukup calls it a tribute to
the districts teaching staff.
I have to give a lot of credit to these
people, he said. They did not get down.
It could have been easy to say, Heck with
it, and, I dont care, but it just shows the
quality of people that we have in this sys-
tem.
The state released additional state report
card data, including school and district rat-
ings, Wednesday. The information comes
nearly two months later than usual.
Some information came out last month,
but ratings, Performance Index and atten-
dance rates were held as the state auditor
investigated allegations of data manipula-
tion by some districts. The investigation
continues, and the official report cards
wont be released until later. The investiga-
tion does not involve any local schools.
Twelve districts in the nine-county area
moved up a designation, while 12 dropped.
The rest maintained their designation.
The lowest rating went to Quest
Academy in Academic Emergency.
Lima schools dropped from Continuous
Improvement to Academic Watch, and
Upper Scioto Valley schools dropped from
Effective to Academic Watch.
The rating didnt surprise Lima schools
officials, who have been evaluating pre-
liminary data since the beginning of the
school year. Superintendent Jill Ackerman
said principals and staff are already break-
ing down data.
Everyone is under a tremendous
amount of pressure, but they need to be
and they recognize that they need to be,
she said.
Lima fell because it did not meet Ade-
quate Yearly Progress, which measures
success of pupil subgroups such as racial
minorities, special education and economi-
cally disadvantaged.
KEY CONCERNS
Many panelists talked about the uncer-
tainty of the reform itself, with the presiden-
tial election still undetermined, particularly
if Gov. Romney were to take
office and appeal the
legislation. Bob
Armstrong,CEO
of Lima Memo-
rial Health
System, along
with Kevin Hinkle, of
Anthem Blue Cross Blue
Shield, both expressed
concerns regarding the
individual mandate to be
implemented in 2014. The
idea is for everyone to have
health coverage by requiring
it. However, that may not
necessarily be the case if
people instead opt to pay the penalty (which
is smaller in the beginning) of not taking
insurance. While the reform will introduce
new solutions to health care, it may also
perpetuate problems, such as continually
rising premium costs.
LIMA A Lima man has died
from the West Nile virus, the
Allen County Health Department
reported.
David Kim Sunderhaus, 58,
died Saturday at Kindred Hospital
in Lima, surrounded by his family,
according to his obituary.
His death was reported
Wednesday to the Allen County
Health Department, which did
not release his name, and marks
Ohios sixth death attributed to
the virus.
We would like to extend our
condolences to the family and
friends of this individual, said
Kathy Luhn, Allen County health
commissioner.
Also on Wednesday, the Cen-
ters for Disease Control and Pre-
vention reported the number of
West Nile virus cases nationally
has reached 4,531, making 2012
the nations second-worst year on
record for the disease.
There were three individuals
in the county who were infected
with the virus in August, accord-
ing to officials at Septembers
Allen County Health Board meet-
ing.
Becky Dershem, Allen County
Health Department director of
nursing, said people were con-
tinuing to be hospitalized and in
critical condition at the Sept. 14
meeting.
The three cases she described
were a 40-year-old man who
thought he contracted the virus in
Allen County, a 56-year-old woman
who believed she was exposed to
the virus in Texas, and an 84-year-
old woman who thought she was
exposed in Allen County. All three
were hospitalized.
We do have reports of people
continuing to be hospitalized,
Dershem said, And some of them
are now in critical condition. So
just be aware.
The milder form of the mos-
quito-borne disease causes flu-
like symptoms and is rarely lethal,
but the neuroinvasive form is
much more severe.

LIMA More than 100 small-business own-
ers and professionals gathered at the City Club
in downtown Lima on Wednesday afternoon
to discuss how the health care reforms of the
Affordable Health Care Act would affect them.
Health care professionals also addressed their
concerns, good and bad, about the health care
reforms.
The primary purpose of the luncheon was for
local employers to understand what they need
to be doing right now with their employees,
particularly with W-2 forms, information about
small businesses that could be eligible for a
health care tax credit, and what else needs to
be filed to keep proper records. The event was
organized by the Lima/Allen County Chamber
of Commerce.
The panel included Kevin Hinkle, of Anthem
Blue Cross Blue Shield, Bob Armstrong, the
CEO of Lima Memorial Health System, John
Renner, vice president and chief financial offi-
cer at St. Ritas Health Partners, Connie Miller
and Becky Waggamon with Webb Insurance
Agency, and Randee Henson with Stolly Insur-
ance Group.
Electronic medical records are being
expanded during the next few years, providing
a central database for physicians all across the
country. But attendees were concerned about
the safety and confidentiality of medical files.
The challenge we all face is that so many
people have access to it, Armstrong said.
There are people that know how to hack into
those things.

The Lima News
I will be surprised if there is a
symphony in this town five years
from now. They get rid of the Mae-
stro and its over.
There, I said it. Those are my
own words. Sharp, certain and
leaving no room for error.
And 17 years old.
I spoke those words almost two
decades ago as news began to
spread through the community
that the Lima Symphony Orches-
tras board was preparing to end
its contract with its beloved, long-
time conductor. They seem ridicu-
lous now, the hyperbole of a kid
with too much enthusiasm for one
man and not enough faith in his
community. I bring them up, not
because I enjoy publicly acknowl-
edging how wrong I can be, but
because Ive heard similar lines
spoken in recent weeks, and some-
times, addressing the past can put
todays news in perspective. I sus-
pect this is one of those times.
A few weeks ago, it became
public knowledge that the current
symphony board of directors has
decided not to offer its conductor
and musical director another con-
tract, meaning this will be his last
season in front of Limas orchestra.
Crafton Beck has been on that
podium for the past 16 years and
has earned a reputation as a great
leader, a thrilling conductor, and
a bright and genuine man. And so
now we see a repeat of the same
debate that took
place before Beck
came to town, a
pitched and public
bout between the
board and a body of
fans and musicians
who fear, as I once
did, that the man
makes the band.
I am here to
assure you, he does not.
Before I go any further, I will
offer up the mandatory full dis-
closure. In addition to my work
at this paper, I have been, for the
past 12 years, the director of the
Council for the Arts of Greater
Lima. It is a volunteer position,
but one that requires I serve as a
cheerleader of sorts for local arts.
The council, like all community
arts providers, has a responsibility
to support all groups who work to
enrich and animate this commu-
nity through the arts. There is no
question that the Lima Symphony
belongs near the top of that list, so
I have some skin in the game.
That said, as a fan and ticket
buyer, I also have a vested interest
in having the very best local orches-
tra we can stage. And there is not
a doubt in my mind that Crafton
Beck has given us that. When Joe
Firszt stepped down after almost
three decades as conductor, many
of us were convinced no one could
fill his tails. But Beck brought new
energy and a fresh
sense of musical-
ity to the stage. In
time, he began to
pull in new musi-
cians who, in turn,
brought new life to
the orchestra. The
result is an orches-
tra today that is
markedly better
than it was in 1996. My apocalyptic
commentary from 17 years ago has
been proved decidedly wrong.
So the people who are out there
today, passing petitions and writ-
ing letters in an effort to keep
Beck are right. And as a man who
has often felt alone in my enthu-
siasm for local arts, I have to tell
you, its pretty damn great to see
people talking publicly, even get-
ting riled up, over an orchestra.
I am sure the symphony board
members are sick of the clamor,
but they should take heart in
knowing that there are people out
there who care passionately about
their product.
The symphony board no doubt
has reasons for making its decision
to end Becks contract. I would
argue theyve done a poor job of
communicating those reasons to
the public, but that is not really
their responsibility. As trustees of
a nonprofit, board members have
two main responsibilities, to direct
the long- and short-range planning
for the organization and to assist in
raising funds to assure the group
can continue to fulfill its mission.
Becks responsibility is to make
sure he has a great orchestra and
to program what he considers to
be the best musical offerings his
players can perform. The two jobs
should never cross over. Beck may
offer his suggestions, but he has
no vote in the decisions made to
make the symphony a sustainable
organization. And the volunteer
board members, no matter how
much they may think they know,
should never interfere with Becks
artistic decisions.
That is the arrangement all
arts organizations should adhere
to and, if they ever hope to get
money from major granting institu-
tions, they will. But it can also lead
to conflict when trustees decide
the conductors artistic decisions
are hurting their efforts to raise
money. They cannot and should
not tell the director what to do,
so the alternative is to find a new
director who shares their views.
I do not know for a fact that is
the case with the Lima Symphony,
but I suspect it plays some role.
It is unfortunate, but it is also
unavoidable.
In the end, we all need to under-
stand a few things.
First, there are no bad guys in
this scenario. Both the board and
Beck have a job to do, and both
are doing it in the way they believe
is best for our community. We
should be grateful for that.
Second, no one decision should
alter our support for an organiza-
tion as vital to our community as
the Lima Symphony. Threatening
to withhold support because they
make a decision with which you
disagree is the act of a petulant
child and serves no useful pur-
pose. If they make this move and
the orchestra sucks, then you
have my permission to put your
season tickets on Craigslist. Until
then, feel free to state your case,
but understand that when you are
dealing with nonprofits, the most-
heard voices are those that offer
answers and support.
Finally, we need to look to the
past and realize we are in a steady
loop of events. When Maestro
Firzst left town, many of us were
certain it was the end of the orches-
tra as we knew it. We were right,
because we ended up with some-
thing that was different and mea-
surably better. I would hate to see
Maestro Beck go, but if he does,
the orchestra will continue to play.
It may be worse for awhile, it may
be better, but the important thing is,
it will play on. And, with any luck,
two decades from now, well be
having his debate all over again.
Hopefully next time, Ill be able
to look back on these words and
say I was right.
The orchestra will play on, no matter who the maestro is

Its not right, its defiantly true

that make any sense? Jayden
Bess, on LimaOhio.com
These folks have completely
missed the point! The point of a
plea bargain is to accept a lesser
sentence. It can work for both
sides. If you risk a trial, you
might get off but you might get
a stiffer penalty. Going to trial
ALWAYS carries that RISK. Who
DOESNT know this? And if you
are looking for a role model, pick
another family. Judge Warren got
THIS one right. Michael Ste-
phen Williams, on LimaOhio.

If you choose to go to trial
instead of pleading & are found
guilty then you should have a lon-
ger sentence or a bigger fine. That
is way its suppossed to work. If
people are so upset about how
the system works maybe they
should try to stay out of trouble.

LAS VEGAS Entertainer
Flavor Flav was arrested
Wednesday on felony and
misdemeanor charges after
arguing with his fiancee and
threatening to attack her
teenage son with a knife, Las
Vegas police said.
The
53-year-old
former rap-
per, hip-hop
and reality
television
star, whose
legal name
is William
Jonathan
Drayton Jr.,
was taken
into custody about 3:30 a.m.
Wednesday at a home several
miles southwest of the Las
Vegas Strip, Las Vegas police
Officer Bill Cassell said.
Drayton faces a felony
assault with a deadly
weapon charge carrying a
possible penalty of up to six
years in prison and a mis-
demeanor battery-domestic
violence charge that could
get him six months in county
jail, according to jail records.
He was being held on
$23,000 bail at Clark County
jail pending an initial court
appearance on Thursday. It
was not immediately clear if
he had a lawyer.
Drayton, whose public
persona includes wearing a
big clock on his chest, was
an original member of the
politically and socially mili-
tant rap group Public Enemy
in the 1980s and 90s.
In recent years he has
starred in several reality
TV series and lent his name
and recipes to short-lived
chicken and soul food res-
taurants in Clinton, Iowa,
and Las Vegas.

MOUNT VERNON, Iowa
(AP) One day after their
contentious, finger-pointing
debate, President Barack
Obama and Republican Mitt
Romney vied aggressively
for the support of women
voters Wednesday, as they
and their running mates
charged across nearly a half-
dozen battleground states in
the close race for the White
House with 20 days to run.
Not even Republicans dis-
puted that Obamas debate
performance was much
stronger than the listless
showing two weeks earlier
that helped spark a rise in the
polls for Romney. The two
rivals meet one more time,
next Monday in Florida.
The first post-debate polls
were divided. At least some
of the voters who asked the
questions in the town-hall
style encounter remained
uncommitted. If Gov. Rom-
ney could actually provide
the jobs, that would be a
good thing because we really
need them, said Nina Gon-
zalez, a 2008 Obama voter,
neatly summarizing the
uncertainty confronting vot-
ers in a high-unemployment
economy.
Obama wore a pink wrist-
band to show support for
Breast Cancer Awareness
Month as he campaigned in
Iowa and then Ohio, and
reminded his audience that
the first legislation he signed
after becoming president
made it easier for women
to take pay grievances to
court.
Romney took no position
on that bill when it passed
Congress, and his campaign
says he would not seek its
repeal. But Obama chided
him, saying, That shouldnt
be a complicated question.
Equal pay for equal work.
He also jabbed at Rom-
neys remark during Tues-
day nights debate that he
received whole binders full
of women after saying he
wanted to appoint more of
them to his administration.

WASHINGTON
Violent crimes rise
18% in 2011
Violent crimes unexpect-
edly jumped 18 percent
last year, the first rise
in nearly 20 years, and
property crimes rose for
first time in a decade. But
experts said the new gov-
ernment data fall short of
signaling a reversal of the
long decline in crime.
The U.S. Bureau of
Justice Statistics reported
Wednesday the increase
in the number of violent
crimes was the result
of an upward swing in
simple assaults, which
rose 22 percent, from 4
million in 2010 to 5 million
last year. The incidence of
rape, sexual assault and
robbery remained largely
unchanged, as did serious
violent crime involving
weapons or injury.
Property crimes were up
11 percent in 2011, from
15.4 million in 2010 to 17
million, according to the
bureaus annual national
crime victimization sur-
vey. Household burglaries
rose 14 percent, from 3.2
million to 3.6 million. The
number of thefts jumped
by 10 percent, from 11.6
million to 12.8 million.
NEW YORK
Man arrested in
bank bomb plot
A Bangladeshi man who
wanted to destroy Amer-
ica tried to detonate what
he thought was a 1,000-
pound bomb in front of
the Federal Reserve Bank
in Manhattan on Wednes-
day, but the explosive was
a dud provided by agents
as part of an FBI sting,
authorities said.
The FBI and New York
police said the would-be
bomber and al-Qaida loy-
alist, Quazi Mohammad
Rezwanul Ahsan Nafis,
was arrested in a hotel
room after several futile
attempts to detonate the
fake bomb by remote con-
trol. He was arraigned in
federal court hours later
on charges of attempting
to use a weapon of mass
destruction and attempt-
ing to provide material
support to al-Qaida.
AUSTIN, Texas
State backs Bible
cheer banners
Texas Attorney General
Greg Abbott said Wednes-
day he will defend high
school cheerleaders who
want to use Bible verses
on banners at football
games.
Abbott has filed court
papers to intervene in a
lawsuit that cheerleaders
at Kountze High School
filed against the school
district complaining that a
new policy violated their
freedom of speech. In Sep-
tember, district officials
told the cheerleaders to
stop using Bible verses at
football games after the
Freedom From Religion
Foundation complained.
The atheist group
argued using banners with
phrases such as, I can do
all things through Christ
that strengthens me,
violates the First Amend-
ment prohibition on the
government establishing a
religion.
PHILADELPHIA
Lawyer: Penn State
accuser a fraud
A man who says he was
the unidentified victim in
the 2001 shower assault
by Jerry Sandusky is a
charlatan seeking to
profit from the suffering
of real victims, a lawyer
for one former Penn State
administrator said.
Attorney Tom Farrell,
who represents former
university Vice President
Gary Schultz, questioned
the mans claims in a state-
ment released Wednesday.
Citing discovery mate-
rial obtained in his clients
defense against perjury
and other charges, Farrell
charted several instances
in which the alleged vic-
tim changed his story with
investigators prompting
doubt among prosecutors
about his credibility.

NATIONwatch
9/11 defendant lectures judge
GUANTANAMO BAY
NAVY BASE, Cuba The
accused architect of the 9/11
attacks was allowed to wear
a camouflaged vest to the
war court Wednesday then,
cloaked in the costume of
a fellow combatant, lectured
his Army judge on national
security.
Your blood is not made of
gold and ours is not made out
of water. We are all human
beings, Khalid Sheikh
Mohammed said in an unin-
terrupted monologue that
mocked U.S. sadness at the
loss of nearly 3,000 people on
Sept. 11, 2001.
Governments can torture,
detain kids and do targeted
assassination in the name of
national security, he said at
the end of daylong legal argu-
ments on whether the CIA
program that water-boarded
Mohammed 183 times, to
uncover al-Qaida plots, can
be made public at his even-
tual death-penalty trial.
Col. James Pohl, the judge,
made no decisions on what
classification restrictions
would govern the trial of
Mohammed and four alleged
accomplices. But he rebuked
Mohammeds attorney, David
Nevins, that his clients com-
mentary was not permitted
in court.
Mohammed, 47, made clear
he knew about last years
death and disposal of Osama
bin Laden. The president
can take someone and throw
them in the sea in the name
of national security, he said.
It was Day 3 of a week of
pretrial motions and specta-
tors got a taste of the con-
troversial 40-second delay
and sound kill-switch at the
special court designed by the
Pentagon to prevent release
of state secrets.
As a Navy lawyer described
hypothetical interrogation
techniques a court censor
cut the sound to specta-
tors. Pohl ruled the descrip-
tion fit for the public. Sound
restored, the lawyer repeated
himself for court watchers.
An American Civil Liberties
Union lawyer, Hina Shamsi,
had earlier in the day called
the sound delay unconstitu-
tional. If the accused speak
in court about what they
claim the CIA did to them,
the public has a right to hear
it, she said. The government
can gag the agents and inter-
rogators, but not those who
want to allege what was done
to them.
Thoughts, experience and
memories belong to human
beings, she said. They do
not belong to the govern-
ment.
Justice Department attor-
ney Joanna Baltes defended
the governments right
shield properly classified
top secret information and
called Shamsi disingenu-
ous for saying federal courts
dont have the same rules.
She called the 40-second
delay a convenience created
specially for Guantanamo
because no courtroom in
the United States has the
same type of technology.
Americas favorite dietary supplements, multivitamins,
modestly lowered the risk for cancer in healthy male doc-
tors who took them for more than a decade, the first large
study to test these pills has found.
The result is a surprise because many studies of indi-
vidual vitamins have found they dont help prevent chronic
diseases and some even seemed to raise the risk of cancer.
In the new study, multivitamins cut the chance of devel-
oping cancer by 8 percent. That is less effective than a
good diet, exercise and not smoking, each of which can
lower cancer risk by 20 percent to 30 percent, cancer
experts say.
Multivitamins also may have different results in women,
younger men or people less healthy than those in this
study.
Its a very mild effect and personally Im not sure its
significant enough to recommend to anyone although it is
promising, said Dr. Ernest Hawk, vice president of cancer
prevention at the University of Texas MD Anderson Can-
cer Center and formerly of the National Cancer Institute.
At least this doesnt suggest a harm as some previous
studies on single vitamins have, he said.
Hawk reviewed the study for the American Association
for Cancer Research, which is meeting in Anaheim, Calif.,
where the study was to be presented on Wednesday. It
also was published online in the Journal of the American
Medical Association.
About one-third of U.S. adults and as many as half of
those over 50 take multivitamins.

Republican vice presidential candidate, Rep. Paul Ryan,
R-Wis., is accompanied Wednesday by former Secretary
of State Condoleezza Rice at a campaign rally at Baldwin
Wallace University in Berea.
A district that does not
meet AYP for two consecu-
tive years and is at Continu-
ous Improvement or higher
drops a designation. This is
the case with Lima, but Ack-
erman said she believes it
can meet it this school year.
She said officials knew last
years district restructuring
would likely impact scores in
the first year.
We just have to stay
focused, she said. We have
to continue to know where
every single individual kid
is and where they need to
go. And if we stay focused
and stay on course, it is not
going to be difficult now
that we are settled.
When coming to Upper
Scioto Valley schools in
May, Superintendent Den-
nis Recker started looking
at data and working on cur-
riculum, including using an
existing staff person to work
directly with teachers on
designing lessons. Recker
believes the hard work will
pay off.
Teachers are really work-
ing hard and they were
devastated with these pre-
liminary results, he said. I
think we will start seeing
the uptick in performance
this year and after next year,
the corner will be turned for
these people.
Five local districts are
in Continuous Improve-
ment, while 15 are Effec-
tive. Thirty-five are deemed
Excellent, including every
district in Putnam County.
St. Marys dropped to effec-
tive last year, missing indica-
tors in fifth-grade math and
eighth-grade science. The
school picked those back up
this year and moved back to
Excellent.
It is important. It makes
the school feel good about
itself and obviously the
community feel good about
what the schools are doing,
Superintendent Shawn
Brown said. It is our report
card and when the state says
we are doing an excellent
job, we are proud to have
them say that.
Delphos was joined by six
other districts in the region
to earn Excellent with Dis-
tinction ratings. Shawnee
earned the rating for the sec-
ond year and New Knoxville
moved up from Excellent.
Sukup said Delphos staff
members were ecstatic with
its results, saying it shows
that their hard work paid
off.
I am just extremely proud
to be part of this fine organi-
zation, he said. I think they
are prepared to continue to
do the hard work necessary
to achieve as good as we
can get.

DEFINITIONS
Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP): This federal mandate holds schools accountable in the areas of reading and mathematics
prociency and test participation for schools and districts as well as students in sub groups, such as ethnic and racial minorities,
economically disadvantaged or students with disabilities. Graduation and attendance goals are not evaluated for sub groups. Failure
to meet any of the goals results in missing AYP.
State Indicators: There are 26 performance indicators that schools and districts can earn. Indicators are based on achievement
tests, Ohio Graduation Test, graduation rate and attendance rate.
Performance Index Score (PI): This measure rewards the achievement of every tested student, not just those who score procient or
higher. Schools and districts earn points based on how well each student does on all tested subjects in grades 3 to 8 and on the
OGT. The score can range from 0 to 120.
Value added: Recognizes that districts and schools may be making signicant academic improvements even though they may not
have met the standard for student achievement. The measure reects how much progress was made since the prior year in fourth-
through eighth-grade reading and math.
+ A plus symbol indicates that a district or school has achieved more than one year of expected growth in student progress
A check symbol indicates that a district or school has achieved one year of expected growth in student progress
A minus symbol indicates that a district or school has achieved less than one year of expected growth in student progress.

THE RATING
Excellent with distinction (ED): Earned when a school or
district has been designated excellent and is above expected growth
for value added.
Excellent (EX): Meets 94 to 100 percent of indicators or scores
100 to 120 on the Performance Index (PI).
Effective (EF): Meets 75 to 93.9 percent of indicators or scores
90 to 99.9 on the PI.
Continuous Improvement (CI): Meets up to 74.9 percent of
indicators or scores up to 89.9 on the PI and meets AYP, or meets
50 to 74.9 percent of indicators or scores 80 to 89.9 on the PI and
missed AYP.
Academic Watch (AW): Meets 31 to 49.9 percent of indicators
or scores 70 to 79.9 percent on the PI and missed AYP.
Academic Emergency (AE): Meets up to 30.9 percent of
indicators and scores up to 69.9 on the PI and missed AYP.
26 possible indicators can be met by school districts.
The lowest a district can be rated if it meets AYP is CI. A district
that does not meet AYP for three or more consecutive years, and
does not meet AYP for goals for more than one student group in
the most recent year, can be rated no higher than CI.
A high school in AW or AE that improves its PI by at least 10
points over two years, with at least a three-point increase in the
current year, can move up one designation, but no higher than CI.
If a district achieves above expected growth for value added, then
it can be bumped up a designation. A district or school may have
its designation reduced if it receives a below expected growth
value added score for three consecutive years.

The Lima News
Neither candidate
scored the clear vic-
tory Tuesday night
that Mitt Romney
racked up in the
first presidential
debate 13 days ago.
But this is life. And
in life, there are winners and losers:
Winners
President Obama: It was a near certainty that he
would improve on his mystifyingly bad performance
in Denver. And he did. But he did more than that.
After coming out a little too hot Obama was on
the wrong side of the passionate/angry divide the
president moderated his tone to the sober yet force-
ful persona that he needed to project in this debate.
Debates are about moments, and Obama had
three: his line about how his pension wasnt as big as
Romneys; winning, against all odds, the scrap about
the Benghazi attack (with an assist from moderator
Candy Crowley); and his strong close in which he
used Romneys 47 percent comments as a cudgel.
Obamas performance wasnt flawless, and he
didnt score a clean win as Romney did in the first
debate. But he was the better performer this time
around.
The questions: Town-hall formats tend to be hit
or miss. When regular people get to ask the ques-
tions unedited by that darn mainstream media
you either get blunt queries that force the candidates
to think or banal generalities that dont. With a few
notable exceptions gas prices, gun control and
why are you so misunderstood the questions on
Libya, whether we are better off than we were four
years ago and how Romney differs from George W.
Bush were pointed and interesting.
There werent enough of them, but that was a func-
tion of the two candidates talking too much. And
although Romney seemed to get the tougher ques-
tions, but complaining about the rules is a losers
game. (More on that below.)
Apple: iPad and iPhone both get mentions in the
debate! As if Apple needs more free publicity!
Binders: Not since Trapper Keepers heyday have
binders been such a big part of the public dialogue.
Losers
Mitt Romney: The Republican nominee abso-
lutely had his moments in this debate. He was excel-
lent when laying out the case for why we are not
better off than we were four years ago and why he
has a better claim to a track record of success than
the president does.
But as noted above, these debates are about
moments. Romney thought he had one when it
came to what Obama said on the day after the Libya
attack. But while trying to catch the incumbent in
what he thought was a clear mistake, Romney was
hoisted on his own petard at Crowley in what will be
the single most memorable (and replayed) interac-
tion of the debate.
Yes, we are aware that there is considerable con-
troversy already over whether what Crowley said
regarding Obamas statement was accurate, but
remember that the average viewer simply isnt going
to read everything written about the subject to get to
the bottom of it.
Most viewers are going to watch the debate and
think: Obama looked strong there. Allowing Obama
to win or come close to it on what should have
been his weak spot in the debate was a miss by Rom-
ney. And he was clearly jarred about how the Libya
fight turned out; he didnt regain his footing for 10
minutes or so afterward.
Bickering about rules: These are the two men
who are competing to be the leader of the free
world. Do we really need to see them reduced to
fighting over who gets to speak last or who is or isnt
following the rules of the debate? Both men did it
although Romney did it a bit more and it looked
small and unseemly. Can we please ban this in the
future?
Undecideds: Can you say with a straight face that
there was anything in that debate style or sub-
stance that would convince an undecided voter to
get off the fence? We cant. The argumentative tone
from both candidates is the sort of stuff undecided
and independent voters dont like a bit and affirms
for them why politics is broken.
Apple: Yes, the tech company got lots of free pub-
licity, but Crowley noted that its products are made
in China! Ouchy.
Chicago Tribune
Confronted with a do-or-die
debate on Oct. 3, an energized
Mitt Romney surprised America
and that lifeless opponent
standing to his left. You knew
that President Barack Obama,
confronting a similar ultimatum
Tuesday night at Hofstra Univer-
sity, would display more energy.
Asked and answered.
As these minutes unfolded,
though, we tried to look past
the reassuring theatrics yes,
this debate engaged both men,
and neither stumbled to
explore three hard questions
facing voters:
Would Obama talk about Rom-
ney or about Obama? On Oct.
3, the president spoke four min-
utes longer than Romney did, but
obsessed on trying to undercut his
opponent rather than defending
his own record. This time Obama
offered stronger defenses of his
policies and performance and four
times accused Romney of saying
things that are not true.
For all the jousting, we wish
Obama had acknowledged that his
plan to raise taxes on high-income
Americans would eliminate only
about one-tenth of the annual
federal deficit. That said, we also
wish Romney had offered more
specifics on the deductions and
loopholes hed limit to pay for his
most ambitious goal, broad cuts in
tax rates.
Neither man told Americans
about the sacrifices on the hori-
zon: Obama didnt admit that
federal spending, and specifically
spending on Medicare and Social
Security, is unsustainable without
major reforms. Romney didnt
admit that his tax plan includes
anticipated revenue increases from
a growing economy a pleasant
hope but still a hope to avoid
creating more debt.
Which Romney would take the
stage optimistic and command-
ing, or flummoxed and remote
from his audience?
The presence of a stronger
Obama didnt create a weaker
Romney. He was at his best
when repeatedly steering atten-
tion to promises that Obama
had made but hasnt fulfilled.
Romney ticked off a long list: the
pledge to halve annual deficits
that instead have doubled, the
prediction that unemployment by
now would be well below 6 per-
cent, the promise to put forth a
comprehensive immigration plan
in Year One, the assurance that
the agony of home foreclosures
would diminish, the suggestion
that household income would
rise. If you elect President
Obama, you know what youre
going to get, Romney told Amer-
icans. This is a president who
has not been able to do what he
said he would do.
Do voters have a choice of two
agendas, or merely of two men?
Liberal pundits in particular had
goaded Obama to specify fresh
ambitions that would justify a
second term (When did Obama
lose the vision thing? snapped
The Washington Posts Ezra
Klein). But this format proved an
inclement place for new propos-
als. The discussion was spirited,
the talking points familiar. View-
ers did, though, see both men at
their best, taking questions from
Main Street Americans worried
about issues close to their lives:
jobs, gasoline prices, taxes and
the unifying theme fears for
the United States of tomorrow.
Well know soon whether Obama
stopped the bleeding that began
Oct. 3: Romney holds a small but
persistent lead in the RealClear-
Politics polling averages thanks
in part to a swing toward him
among women in battleground
states. That trend explains both
mens overt appeals to women vot-
ers Tuesday night.
Choose your own winner, then,
and be grateful: This months
debates have animated what had
been a dispiriting slog to Nov. 6.
The final round comes next Mon-
day in hard-fought Florida.

A few observations
worth sharing
Did you ever notice its easy for peo-
ple to find you to borrow money, but
its hard in finding them when you want
paid back? The Facebook in The Lima
News is great. I enjoy your views and
you people are awesome. I love reading
editorials and Facebook. Keep it up.

What? Josh Mandel
tell a lie!
What a shock. Josh Mandel was caught
lying again. Now he says he has no opin-
ion on the auto bailout or his opinion
depends on who he is talking to.
In August, he told a Columbus news-
paper Sherrod Brown was un-Ameri-
can for voting for the auto bailout. The
Wall Street Journal wrote his campaign
has been one of the most dishonest in
the country and has been awarded 14
Pants on Fire awards. Sending people
like him to Washington is what got us in
this mess in the first place.

Two-way streets
a needed improvement
Thank you to Lima City Engineer Kirk
Niemeyer and staff for the wonderful
transition of Elm and Spring streets
to a two- way traffic pattern. Travel
from Central Avenue West to Wood-
lawn (shortly to Cable) has never been
quicker. The old one way streets have
long ago lost usefulness.
When the business district was full of
commercial activity, the one way system
was of benefit. Now most of the time
only one or two vehicles are traveling in
a given block (certainly no need for two
lanes in the same direction). Im looking
forward to the next phase for Wayne
and West Streets, to proceed shortly.

Lima Symphony gives
unforgettable concert
Saturday night proved to be a phe-
nomenal Lima Symphony Orchestra
concert. If you were unable to attend,
you missed a world-class performance
that will be remembered for years.
Russian Pianist Alexander Ghindin
worked with Maestro Crafton Beck of
the Lima Symphony Orchestra enter-
taining the audience with the rare and
difficult Piano Concerto No. 3 in D
Minor by Rachmaninoff. Ghindin then
concluded with FOUR encore pieces to
the delight of all. His final solo encore
was La Campanella from Violin Con-
certo No. 2 by Liszt, arranged by Paga-
nini and it was spellbinding.
Many have told me that Lima has little
to offer in the area of the arts. I submit
that more of our residents should get
season tickets to the Lima Symphony
every concert is a memorable production.
Michael J. Ayers, Lima
A handgun can be
your best friend
The plethora of domestic killings
recently causes me to consider a solution.
I suggest the potential victims arm
themselves with a Concealed Carry
Weapon (CCW) permit and appropri-
ate handgun. When the potential victim
requests a protection order a police offi-
cial could offer guidance on the value of
self-protection. An officer, preferably a
female, could provide a brief handgun
introduction and its use.
Handgun dealers are willing and expert
in the types available, advantages of each
type, use by a female and cost. They also
provide practice shooting ranges, instruc-
tion and classes necessary for obtaining
the CCW permit. Many folks say they
could never shoot another person. The
choice is between being shot or confront-
ing a potential killer with a well-aimed
gun and willingness to defend yourself
and your children. Guns are safe when
properly handled. Training provides the
comfort level to know how and when to
use a gun to provide the protection when
the police cant.

Atlas Shrugged II
a must-see movie
I had the pleasure of watching the
movie Atlas Shrugged II twice this
weekend. I would encourage anyone
concerned about the state of our nation
to pay for a ticket.
The movie is based on the novel
Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand. It
depicts what our nation could become
if the progressive movement continues
to gain control of our government.
The subtle inferences of phrases we
hear on the news fair share, the Con-
stitution being the old way, government
takeover of industry and the 99% group
make it very timely.
Sadly, Atlas Shrugged I did not play
in Lima. We drove to Perrysburg to see
it. We spoke to others at the theatre
who had driven to Fort Wayne last year
to be able to view it. Luckily, it is avail-
able on DVD and Netflix for anyone
needing to catch up.
Spend the time, spend the money and
listen to what it is saying.
I am looking forward to Atlas
Shrugged III .

Its time to take
your vote elsewhere
When a business wants to survive amid
competition in the market, theres an
incentive to provide reliable goods or ser-
vices at prices compelling to consumers.
Doesnt it stand to reason when a politi-
cal party wants to win elections its leader-
ship seeks the best candidates for the high-
est offices? If they want your continued
support, shouldnt you rightfully expect
them to earn it as long as they promote
reliable individuals with track records that
match their campaign rhetoric?
If this makes sense to you, I then must
ask why are so many conservatives, who
supposedly believe in smaller government,
supporting Mitt Romney so fervently?
His track record, as governor of Mas-
sachusetts and prior to that, are the polar
opposite of his platform. Im supposed to
believe that Romney has experienced a
change of heart on abortion, gun control,
taxation, spending and the individual
health insurance mandate and business
regulation and TARP and other corporate
bailouts and raising the debt ceiling and
overall growth of government?
Im supposed believe hes seen the
light on all nine of those issues? That
defies common sense and you know it.
But, I see instead of holding firm on
principles people endlessly making
excuses for Romney. That is not conserva-
tism: thats capitulation to the status quo.
So, while they enjoy all this blind
support, what incentive is there for the
Republican Party to alter their ways?
Ive taken my business elsewhere. Im
taking a stand for true liberty and voting
for Gary Johnson. Be Libertarian with
me for just one election. You can always
go back to the status quo if freedom is
that unappealing.

Most cases in Allen County
have been neuroinvasive in
nature, Dershem said. That
means the patients have
taken on a more serious form
of the virus, with symptoms
such as headache, high fever,
neck stiffness, stupor, dis-
orientation, coma, tremors,
convulsions, muscle weak-
ness and even paralysis.
The majority of cases
weve seen in Allen County
have required hospitaliza-
tion, Dershem said. The
individuals have been very
sick, some requiring exten-
sive treatment. And as I said,
we do have reports now of
some folks currently hospi-
talized and in bad condition.
The CDC reported another
15 deaths from the virus last
week, bringing the total to
183 deaths nationwide.
According to Allen County
health officials, Ohio had 110
recorded human cases as of
Oct. 11. In 2011, there was
a total of 21 cases in the
state. They said four out of
five people infected with the
virus will not develop any
symptoms of the disease.
With the cooler tempera-
tures, mosquito activity and
the cases of West Nile virus
are declining.

health care reform are going to be
implemented until as late as 2015 and
2018, if its not repealed before then.
Theres a lot of uncertainty with this
reform with the presidential election
still undetermined.
For Armstrong, in addition to men-
tioning the changes taking place, he
said his concerns from a hospital per-
spective at Lima Memorial stem from
problems that still exist in health care,
reform or not.
The real issue is there are so
many different variables that go into
why our health care cost is going
up: demand, expectations, the baby
boomer population. But the biggest
problem we have in our health care
system [is that] the person using the
care is not the person paying the full
ride for the care. Otherwise, I dont
think wed be having this conversa-
tion, he said. Its an ethical issue, its
a societal issue. Unless youre paying
for the service, youre not going to be
focused in on what youre getting.
Renner said that big health care
costs come from preventable causes,
including the results of tobacco use
and physical inactivity.
Weve got to have solutions and
ideas, Renner said.
Armstrong and Renner said there are
also many positive things being imple-
mented with reform. For instance,
Renner said everyone is given the
opportunity to have access, one way
or another.
I like the fact that theyre starting
to address the concerns that patients
have, which is being able to exclude
people with pre-existing conditions. I
think its a good thing that were doing
away with that, Armstrong said.
He also cited more transparency and
reimbursement incentives to make
hospitals more quality competitive as
examples of things in the health care
world that are much needed that the
reform will provide. However, there
are consequences. Allowing people
with pre-existing conditions drives up
premiums.
Things to take effect in 2013 as
far as the reform goes includes
improvements on electronic medical
records, which is to reduce paper-
work administrative burdens and
costs, an increased hospital insur-
ance tax for high-wage workers, an
increased income threshold for claim-
ing itemized deductions for medical
expenses, and establishing a medical
device excise tax.
A big concern of Armstrongs is that
employers may decide to pay penal-
ties rather than providing insurance to
employers, because there would be a
significant cost savings in doing that,
at least at the beginning of the imple-
mentation in 2014. Same for employ-
ees. These individual mandates were
a topic that Hinkle also discussed in
detail.
In 2014, Armstrong said employ-
ees can bypass health insurance for
an average of $400, saving perhaps
thousands of dollars that health care
would inevitably cost. Those fines
continually increase year by year. But
that then begs the question, will more
people have insurance in the United
States than before if mandates can
easily be bypassed? The trends will
only be truly known these implemen-
tations begin to take effect.
One of the key challenges for us
is just trying to figure out where this
is going because were driving in the
dark, Armstrong said. Its a little bit
unnerving.

LOS ANGELES (MCT)
Scientists may never know
exactly how the moon and
Earth were formed 4.5 bil-
lion years ago, but this week
their understanding of the
cataclysmic event made a sig-
nificant leap forward.
In a slew of studies pub-
lished Wednesday, planetary
scientists provided new evi-
dence supporting the long-
standing but imperfect
theory that the Earth and
moon formed after the proto-
Earth collided with another
huge planetary body, some-
times referred to as Theia.
Some of that evidence
comes from super-precise
measurements of the zinc in
lunar rock samples collected
by Apollo astronauts. These
findings, reported in the jour-
nal Nature, support the idea
that the moons birth had to
have resulted from a big
event with lots of energy,
strong enough to vaporize
rock, said study leader Fred-
eric Moynier, a geochemist at
Washington University.
Separately, two studies
published in the journal Sci-
ence detailed two scenarios
of what such a powerful
crash might plausibly have
looked like.
Both collision-simulation
papers may solve an intrac-
table problem with the clas-
sic story scientists told about
the moons birth. That story
goes something like this: Two
planets, one Earth-sized and
one Mars-sized, slammed
together. The smaller body,
Theia, was obliterated com-
pletely, its materials flung
asunder to form a disk around
the Earth that before long
coalesced to form the moon.
The theory explains the dis-
tance between the two bod-
ies, their relative sizes and
other physical properties. But
in the last decade or so, a
problem arose: The chemis-
try didnt match up with the
physics.
Whats happening now
is an attempt to salvage the
theory, said Erik Asphaug, a
planetary scientist at the Uni-
versity of California, Santa
Cruz.
Reports put a new spin on moons creation
Skydivers feat could
influence spacesuits
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla.
(AP) Now that the dust
has settled in the New Mex-
ico desert where supersonic
skydiver Fearless Felix
Baumgartner landed safely
on his feet, researchers are
exhilarated over the possibil-
ity his exploit could someday
help save the lives of pilots
and space travelers in a disas-
ter.
Baumgartners death-defy-
ing jump Sunday from a bal-
loon 24 miles above Earth
yielded a wealth of infor-
mation about the punishing
effects of extreme speed and
altitude on the human body
insights that could inform
the development of improved
spacesuits, new training pro-
cedures and emergency med-
ical treatment.
A NASA engineer who spe-
cializes in astronaut escape
systems said Baumgartners
mission gives us a good
foundation for improving
the odds of survival for pro-
fessional astronauts, space
tourists and high-altitude
pilots and passengers.
What I would hope is that,
perhaps, this is just the first
step of many, many advance-
ments to come in emergency
bailouts, said Dustin Gohm-
ert, who heads NASAs crew
survival engineering office at
the Johnson Space Center in
Houston.
In an interview after
Baumgartner became the
first skydiver to break the
speed of sound, Gohmert
noted that researchers have
spent decades working on
self-contained space escape
systems, with no significant
advances since Joe Kittinger
in 1960 jumped from 19.5
miles up and reached 614
mph, records that stood until
Sunday.
Baumgartners feat was
sponsored by energy drink
maker Red Bull, and NASA
had no role. But Dr. Jonathan
Clark, a former NASA flight
surgeon who lost his wife,
Laurel, in the space shuttle
Columbia accident and dedi-
cated himself to improving
crew escape systems, was
in charge of Baumgartners
medical team.
And he was thrilled at how
much was learned.
By going well beyond Mach
1, or the speed of sound,
Baumgartner provided even
more data than anticipated.
Wearing a pressurized suit
and helmet, he accelerated
to an astonishing 834 mph
and was supersonic longer
than expected. The speed of
sound at that altitude is close
to 700 mph.
It was Mach 1.24, which
is really huge. I mean, thats
a much higher level than
wed ever anticipated, so we
learned a lot by going faster
and higher, said Clark.
RIO DE JANEIRO (AP)
Days after police stormed one
of Rio de Janeiros most dan-
gerous shantytowns to seize
back territory long held by a
powerful drug dealing organi-
zation, city health and welfare
workers are working to ease
the despair and devastation
left behind among hundreds
of crack cocaine addicts sud-
denly without drugs.
Since Sunday, when more
than 2,000 heavily armed
officers stormed into the
Manguinhos and Jacarezinho
complexes, crews work-
ing with police support by
Wednesday had rounded up
231 crack users, and another
67 who had migrated else-
where looking for the drug.
The area had been Rios
biggest open-air crack mar-
ket, known as cracolandia,
or crackland, where hun-
dreds of users bought the
drug, consumed it and lin-
gered in shacks and on blan-
kets, picking through trash
for recyclables to sell so they
could buy more.
These people have to be
cured and treated, Jose
Mariano Beltrame, who heads
security for Rio state, said dur-
ing a Tuesday visit to the area.
Theyre not coming back to
Jacarezinho and Manguinhos;
the area is now occupied.
Drug dealers tired of the
hassle posed by the addicts
and by incursions of city
health and welfare workers
earlier this year banned crack
in Mandela, one of the slums.
Police now have taken over
the entire complex housing
about 70,000 people as part of
a state program to make Rio
safer before the 2014 World
Cup and the 2016 Olympics.
In the days after the occu-
pation, officers were still
searching for guns, drugs
and suspects, but other city
services were already mak-
ing headway. The garbage
removal company ran its
own mega-operation, remov-
ing 220 tons of trash. City
utility workers replaced
more than 300 street lights.
The crew of welfare work-
ers, psychologists and others
who provide help rounded up
drug users found in the streets
and took them to shelters.

U.N. Syria envoy calls on
government to start truce
BEIRUT (AP) The international envoy
to the Syrian conflict on Wednesday called
on President Bashar Assads regime to take
the lead in implementing a cease-fire during
a major Muslim holiday later this month.
Lakhdar Brahimi said rebel represen-
tatives have assured him they will also
observe the truce if the government takes
the first step.
The Syrian people are burying hundreds
of people each day, so if they bury fewer
people during the days of the holiday, this
could be the start of Syrias return from the
dangerous situation that it is continuing
to slip toward, he told reporters in Beirut.
Brahimis push to get Assad and rebels
seeking to topple him to stop fighting for the
four-day Eid al-Adha feast set to begin Oct.
26 reflects how little progress international
diplomacy has made in halting 19 months of
deadly violence in Syria. Activists say more
than 33,000 people have been killed.
Unlike his predecessor as joint U.N.-Arab
League envoy, Kofi Annan, Brahimi has said
he has no grand plan to end Syrias civil war.
Instead, he presented the truce as a micro-
scopic step that would alleviate Syrian
sorrow temporarily and provide the basis
for a longer truce.
Even a short-term cease-fire faced hur-
dles. Both sides in the past have verbally
signed on to cease-fires only to then bla-
tantly disregard them. And before Brahimi
spoke, Syrias government dismissed the
plan, saying the rebels lack a unified leader-
ship to sign the truce.
There is the state, represented by the
government and the army on one front, but
who is on the other front? asked an edito-
rial in the Al-Thawra daily.
The scores of rebel units fighting a brutal
civil war against the regime have no single
leader, and many dont communicate with
each other.
Brahimi spoke following meetings with
top Lebanese officials as part of a regional
tour. He said all countries must work to
stop the bloodshed by halting arms ship-
ments so the conflict doesnt spread.
Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Qatar are sym-
pathetic to the rebels and are believed to be
facilitating their acquisition of weapons or
arming them directly. Iran and Russia are
Assads biggest supporters and provide the
Syrian military with most of its advanced
weaponry.
These countries need to realize, as we
heard today in Lebanon, that it is not pos-
sible that this crisis will stay inside Syrian
border forever, Brahimi said. Either it has
to be taken care of or it will spread and spill
over and consume everything.

CINCINNATI College campuses have
become more than a backdrop for the presi-
dential campaign in Ohio as both sides are
vying to sway young voters to their side.
President Barack Obama continued his cam-
pus tour of Ohio on Wednesday with an evening
rally at Ohio University in southeastern Ohio. It
was the fifth Ohio college the Democratic presi-
dent has visited in less than a month.
Not to be outdone, GOP vice presidential
candidate Paul Ryan has made the rounds to
the states universities.
Ryan, a graduate of Miami University in
Oxford, spoke Wednesday at Baldwin Wallace
University near Cleveland, where he talked
about the growing debt and lack of jobs for
young people getting out of college. He blamed
Obama for both.
He gives us a growing debt and no solu-
tions, Ryan said.
Republican presidential nominee Mitt Rom-
ney and Ryan recently visited several Ohio
campuses. Last weekend, Romney had a rally
at Shawnee State University, while Ryan tail-
gated with Bowling Green State University
football fans and then spoke at Youngstown
State. Ryan, a Wisconsin congressman, made
his alma mater one of his first stops after being
named as Romneys running mate, and he also
visited with fans at the Miami-Ohio State foot-
ball game in Columbus soon afterward.
At Ohio University, Obama told the crowd he
has two daughters and doesnt want them to
be paid less for the same job as a man.
Student Paris Aaron said he is voting for
Obama because he wants to help give the pres-
ident a chance to finish what he has started.
I dont think starting all over again will
help out the country at all, said Aaron, 19, of
Columbus.
LIMA Hes spent his share of
time in the last two and a half years
driving the short distance to ham-
burger row, but now University of
Northwestern Ohio student Tyler
Wright has a better option.
For a small college, something
like this is very nice, Wright said
Wednesday from the schools new
food court, located inside the new
Student Commons. Students
sometimes complain that there are
not enough things to do. Having
something like this is sort of an
icon for this small campus.
UNOH and community officials
dedicated the new 55,000-square-
foot Student Commons on Wednes-
day. The building has been open
to students for just more than
a month. It came out of neces-
sity, President Jeffrey Jarvis said,
because of the schools growth.
This was necessary to enhance
our students academic and more
important social growth in the cen-
ter of the campus, he said.
The 400-seat food court is open to
the public and features items from
six different food stations, includ-
ing a grill, sandwich bar, salad bar
and complete hot meal bar. The
Student Commons is located off
Hartzler Road on campus.
A highlight of the building is the
Dr. Cheryl A. Mueller Library. Muel-
ler is vice president of academic
affairs/provost. The new library
LIMA After pleading guilty halfway through
his trial, a man who tried to shoot another man
to death spoke Wednesday of issues he said are
plaguing the black community.
View the big picture. This is all in refer-
ence to drugs and alcohol. Drugs, alcohol
and guns. My life is filled with drugs, guns
and alcohol, said Terry Felton after entering
his guilty plea in the Sept. 25, 2011, shooting
that wounded a Lima man.
Felton, 38, pleaded guilty to felonious
assault with a gun and aggravated robbery
with a gun after shooting Markese Davis.
Felton was sentenced to 10 years in prison.
Davis was shot four times in the body and
once in the head during a robbery prosecu-
tors said was over drugs. The shooting took
place inside a house at 607 Fairview Ave.
Felton said he is not the only person on the
south side of Lima with this experience.
We need to get it together as black people,
period, and thats all I have to say, he said.
Judge Jeffrey Reed seemed taken back by
Feltons remarks.

Los Angeles Times
LOS ANGELES Non-
sense was big business for
Larry Sloan, who co-founded
a Los Angeles publishing
company in the 1960s to
print books that were blue-
prints for silliness.
The series of word-game
books, Mad Libs, became
absurdly popular and marked
its 50th anniversary in 2008.
More than 110 million of the
slim paperbacks have report-
edly been sold.
Sloan, the last survivor of
the trio of founders of Price
Stern Sloan publishing, died
Sunday at Cedars-Sinai Medi-
cal Center in Los Angeles after
a brief illness, said his daugh-
ter, Claudia Sloan. He was 89.
He was looking for a
career that was more distin-
guished than being a Holly-
wood press agent, Sloan told
Publishers Weekly in 1973,
when he was by contacted by
two men who had come up
with the idea for Mad Libs
TV writer Leonard Stern
and television personality
Roger Price.
In the early 60s, Larry
Sloan, a dear friend from high
school who had always been
a grammarian par excellence,
joined us as a partner and
CEO, Stern wrote in an offi-
cial Mad Libs history, and
we became the publishing
company Price Stern Sloan.
Sloan eventually became
the business man behind
Mad Libs, Stern told The
Washington Post in 1994.
Working from offices in West
Hollywood, Sloan directed the
editing of manuscripts that
often emphasized humor. As
of 1973, the company had
150 titles mainly original
softcovers that sold for a dol-
lar and expected to gross
about $1.6 million that year.
In the late 1970s, Sloan
discovered a hand-made
Wee Sing book that led
to the firms popular line of
Wee Sing books, audio-
tapes and videos for children,
his daughter said.
Commissioner
candidates focus
on health care at
Shawnee Manor
By SARAH STEMEN
419-993-2101
sstemen@limanews.com
LIMA What was designed to be a question-and-
answer session for Allen County commissioner candi-
dates at Shawnee Manor turned into a health care debate
on Wednesday.
Republican candidate Cory Noonan and Democratic
candidate Connie Miller stood in front of Shawnee Manor
residents and staff members and fielded questions, which
were mostly concerning health care and the budget.
There were also two members from President Barack
Obamas campaign there.
Both candidates went over the ballot for their parties
and the offices for which they were running.
Both spoke to why health care costs were not going
down and insurance premiums were steadily increasing.
Miller said she knows firsthand that insurance premiums
are still increasing.
I sell health insurance for a living. Health insurance pre-
miums have been increasing exponentially for years. The
people who oppose the changes that have come about
because of the Affordable Health Care Act, are saying that
its going to increase your premiums, Miller said. Person-
ally, the increases that Im seeing on my plans are no larger
or smaller than the increases that Ive been delivering to
them for the last eight years.
Noonan pointed out the penalty that companies and
individuals would face if they elected out of coverage,
should the Affordable Health Care Act stay in effect.
Youll have to pay $1,400 if you dont get the health
care. We havent had anything to drive the cost of health
care down. But what you also have to understand is that
Obamacare is not fully implemented. There are things that
dont go into effect until 2014. Ask yourself, why 2014? The
election is over, he said. So theres a lot of things that
have yet to come into effect, like the penalty, and other
things that we havent seen yet.
But he highlighted the Republican partys promise to
reform many major social programs if Romney were to
take the White House in November.
When it comes to our country, were dealing with
some serious fiscal issues and reforms need to happen,
he said. And youve seen through the debates the gover-
nors vision and the congressmans vision of where theyd
like to see the United States go. I know there are a lot of
concerns with Medicare and Social Security. I can assure
you, the plan that they have proposed, for people over 55,
it will not affect the plans, the premiums of what you are
receiving.
Miller also chimed in on what she referred to as a life-
style problem in Allen County.
We have a lifestyle problem here in Allen County. We
have a lot of people who have unhealthy lifestyles
smoking, obesity, alcohol, she said. What were being
told now from our economic development leaders is that
its costing businesses more money to do business in Allen
County than in other places and its having an impact on
our ability to get new businesses to come here.
Don Kissick is also running for county commissioner,
listed on the ballot as the Libertarian candidate. The elec-
tion is Nov. 6 and the newly elected commissioner will
take his or her seat Jan. 2.

The Columbus Dispatch
MARYSVILLE It took
several hours preceded
by a scrapped plan to hold
the court hearing in a garage
but a man accused of
burning down a Union
County church in January
pleaded guilty Wednesday.
Stephen Beightler, 31, was
in Union County Common
Pleas court Wednesday for
a routine hearing to set a
date for his expected trial on
charges related to his burn-
ing of the New Horizons
Baptist Church. Instead, he
pleaded guilty to charges of
arson, vandalism and break-
ing and entering.
He waived a pre-sentence
investigation and Judge Don
Fraser sentenced him today
to three years in prison on
the vandalism charge and 17
months on an arson charge
to be served consecutively,
for a total of 53 months.
The breaking and entering
charge was not considered
because sentencing rules
wouldnt allow it.
In exchange for his
plea, prosecutors dropped
charges of receiving stolen
property and possession of
criminal tools.
Beightler, who grew up
in Union County, stole a
BMW from his roommate
in Philadelphia and drove
the car through the night to
Marysville, where he drove
through the doors of the
church on Paver Barnes
Road. Then he set the
building ablaze on Jan. 10.
He was arrested at the
scene, swinging on a swing
set and watching the fire
after he called 911 from a
cellphone. He had a dispos-
able lighter in his pocket
and gasoline on his clothes.
The church was destroyed,
at a loss topping $968,000,
but no one was injured.
Court officials were set
up Wednesday to hold
Beightlers hearing in the
garage connected to the
Union County Courthouse,
a first as far as anyone
could recall.
The extraordinary set-
ting was because when
Beightler was in court in
Champaign County in May
to answer to charges that
he assaulted a jail guard
and a police officer while
in custody on this case, he
urinated on the floor of the
holding cell.
The planned garage hear-
ing was only the latest tac-
tic used by court officials to
keep Beightler under con-
trol. At a hearing in Union
County in April, Beightler
was heavily shackled and
wore a mask to prevent him
from biting or spitting on
others. Several extra dep-
uty sheriffs were on hand,
and they wore protective
gloves, also an uncommon
courtroom practice.
He also had repeatedly
made in appropriate ges-
tures while in court and has
made inflammatory state-
ments toward prosecutors
and judges.

Fungal meningitis
update
The Ohio State Depart-
ment of Health has released
a list of 64 health care pro-
viders who purchased medi-
cations from New England
Compounding Center, linked
to spreading fungal meningi-
tis to hundreds of people in
the United States.
This list included two facil-
ities in the region: The Eye
Surgery Center of Western
Ohio, Lima, and the Findlay
Surgery Center, Findlay.
The Ohio Department of
Health is encouraging all
health care providers to fol-
low up with patients who
received any injectable prod-
ucts from the Massachusetts
facility.
Unlike bacterial or viral
meningitis, fungal meningitis
cannot be spread person
to person. Ohio has seven
cases of fungal meningitis
(no deaths), all linked to
back injections with ste-
roids distributed by NECC.
The case numbers for Ohio
could change as the Centers
for Disease Control and
Prevention adjusts its case
definition and Ohio further
evaluates each patient.
The list of all Ohio facili-
ties that carried products
from the NECC can be
found at http://j.mp/QtSyWH.
CINCINNATI
Man charged with
stabbing at bus stop
Police say a Cincinnati
man is in jail after alleg-
edly stabbing one woman
numerous times and slap-
ping another at a bus stop
in what authorities say were
apparently random attacks
in southwest Ohio.
Cincinnati police said
in court documents that
Jerome Raven told them
he intended to kill 24-year-
old Tiara Metcalf and she
wouldnt hold still.
Police say Metcalf is
expected to recover.
Police say the 31-year-old
Raven allegedly stabbed
the woman at a downtown
bus stop Tuesday and was
arrested on charges of
attempted murder, felonious
assault and assault.
WARREN
Woman, 500 pounds,
hospitalized
A 500-pound Warren
woman is in hospital inten-

try to determine how she
ended up bedridden in filthy,
bug-infested conditions.
Police also expect today
to question the 41-year-old
womans four children, who
are now staying with an
aunt, according to Warren
Police Commissioner Jere
Green.
Officials said she has been
bedridden for about two
years and that she had a bro-
ken hip.

COLLEGE VOTE from B1
Breanna Williams, from Jackson,
said she also is supporting Obama.
Williams, 20, says she believes
he is really geared toward col-
lege students and that funding and
affordability of higher education are
among the top issues for her.
Exit polling in 2008 indicated
Obama won two-thirds of the vote
among college-age adults as he car-
ried Ohio, a state expected to be
close this year and possibly crucial
to winning the White House. Under-
scoring the importance of Ohio and
its college vote, Obama officially
kicked off his re-election campaign
in May at Ohio State University.
In a return visit to OSU last week,
Obama urged students to take buses
provided for them at the rally to
go to early voting locations, saying:
Everything we fought for in 2008 is
on the line in 2012.
But the Romney campaign thinks
it will make inroads with young
voters this year, and a campaign
official said it is well-organized on
campuses across the state.
We are making a huge push on
the campuses, said Scott Jennings,
Romneys state campaign director.
This is a different environment for
Obama than it was in 2008. The
economy is sputtering along, and
these college kids know they are
about to graduate into a world that
may not have a job for them.
Obama campaign officials say
they are well-positioned on cam-
puses. They say the president has
been getting enthusiastic crowds,
with students waiting for hours to
see and hear him.
University of Cincinnati student
body president Lane Hart recalled
that the campus excitement in 2008,
when Obama spoke at a huge UC
rally, was really palpable. But Hart,
who said he is impartial on the
presidential campaign, disputed that
students arent as interested in this
years race.
Hart, a 22-year-old Lewisburg
native who majors in information
systems and finance, pointed to an
enthusiastic, larger-than-expected
turnout Tuesday night at a campus
center to watch the second presi-
dential debate. Organizers were
kept busy adding hundreds of chairs
for arriving students, with more than
500 on hand by the time it started.
I would say more young people
are engaged, he said. I think every-
one here understands the impor-
tance of Ohio; and Cincinnati, Ham-
ilton County and the young vote. I
sense a feeling of duty and respon-
sibility.
First-year Ohio State student
Emily Rees of Chagrin Falls said
she has been pushing her fellow stu-
dents to vote, even if they disagree
with her support of Obama.
Im like: Listen, you need to vote.
Its your duty to your country. Obvi-
ously, I want the president to win.
Like, I dont care who you vote for,
but its your voice. You just need to
vote, she said.
Despite the ability to vote early,
shes going to wait until Nov. 6 to
cast her ballot for president for the
first time.
I just want to be caught up in the
election craziness, said Rees, 18,
dual-majoring in music education
and Russian.
Man pleads guilty in
Marysville church arson
Lancaster girl injured in fall
LANCASTER (MCT) An 11-year-old Lancaster girl is
hospitalized at Nationwide Childrens Hospital in Colum-
bus after she fell 40 feet from Mount Pleasant Tuesday and
landed in a tree.
Lancaster police said they were told Wednesday that Eliza-
beth Fuller is in critical condition.
The girl suffered a broken leg and arm, and head trauma,
according to the police incident report.
The girl slipped and fell from the Devils Kitchen area of
Mount Pleasant at about 6 p.m. Tuesday. A friend with her
called 911.
Medics could not find Elizabeth immediately. Two police
officers then scaled down 40 feet from the summit and found
the girl tangled in a tree. The officers placed a neck brace on
her, and lowered her about 10 feet down from the tree to the
waiting medics.

VEGGIE BUS from B1
GUILTY from B1
will be involved along with the Lima Family YMCA in
healthy living and eating education for the project while
pupils at Apollo Career Center will be involved designing
and fabricating the inside of the bus.
Its a wonderful hands-on learning activity that gives them
real life skills. Its not something we just make and then throw
away when theyre done, said Doug Bodey, high school direc-
tor at Apollo Career Center. Theyre going to see the bus out
on the road and know that over 100 students had an oppor-
tunity to participate in the design or fabrication of doing this.
Our students are also so good about helping the community.
They have a genuine desire and a real care to help the com-
munity. This is another way for them to give back.
Bright said officials are hopeful the bus will be ready to hit
the road sometime early next year.
It will be neat to see this in the neighborhoods, Berger
said. I think the mere fact it will be out in the neighbor-
hoods will self-advertise as well as the fact that once its
there the community will come to rely on it.
Ive been on the bench 13 years and Ive been trying to
figure this out, Reed said. I wish it would stop. It doesnt
seem like anybody wants to stop it. Its not only destroying
one and two families at a time, but its destroying a whole
community.
Davis mother, Cynthia Davis-White, told Felton he
destroyed their family.
I just want you to look at my son. You know what hap-
pened that day, she said. You changed our lives forever. My
son is here and he cant see anymore.
Davis-White urged Felton to take the 10 years in prison to
change his life in a positive way.
The path you have walked is not the right path, she said.
Take this opportunity to get it together.
The shooting victim, Davis, 30, sat in the courtroom in
front of his mother. He declined to comment. The shooting
left him blind in both eyes.
The plea came before testimony resumed Wednesday
morning when Felton asked his attorney about a plea deal.
After the hearing, Assistant Allen County Prosecutor Dan
Berry said he believes Felton saw the evidence piling up
against him during the first day of trial.
I think he decided the best thing he could do was to just
try to cut his losses, Berry said.
Berry met with Davis and his family after Felton asked for
a plea deal to make sure they were OK with it.
UNOH from B1
brings the book collection from 10,000
to 25,000 and has 48 computers, up
from 16 in the previous library.
It is just so much more open, said
library assistant Amanda Johnson.
Students can appreciate the amount
of books and computers we have now.
Johnson also points to the addition
of six group study rooms. It allows
students to work in small groups or get
tutoring. The rooms are almost always
full, she added.
Tyler Wright, a freshman business
and administration student, worked
on a project in the library Wednesday
night.
I think it is beautiful, he said of the
building, being equally impressed with
the library and food court. Now you
can actually sit down and eat and have
a good meal.
The Student Commons also houses
all medical information technology
and Master of Business Administration
classes, the Academic Skills Center
and counseling services. An outdoor
gathering area for students will be
completed in the spring.
Jed Metzger, president of the Lima/
Allen County Chamber of Commerce,
said during the dedication ceremony
that UNOH is one of the countys great
assets.
It is not just all the contractors,
all the jobs, students who come here
and spend their money at the various
businesses in town, he said. But it is
the quality of life that this university
presents to our community.

Target, Best Buy to match
online prices at holidays
Los Angeles Times
Target and other brick-and-mortar retail-
ers are treating this holiday season as an
offensive against online rivals such as
Amazon.com, using tactics such as price-
matching to win back dominance of the
Christmas shopping season.
Tired of being used as showrooms by cus-
tomers testing products in person before
buying them online for less, Target and Best
Buy have both pledged to offer the same
prices in stores as major Internet shops.
This week, Target said its debut price-
matching program would run between Nov.
1 and Dec. 16, with prices on in-store items
meeting the same prices offered online at
Amazon, Wal-Mart, Best Buy and Toys R Us.
Target also said that it will extend the same
policy for products in its stores available for
less on Target.com or in printed advertise-
ments from local competitors. That program
runs from Nov. 1 through Dec. 24.
Last week, Best Buy said it would match
prices for appliances and electronics Nov.
4-17 and again from Nov. 27 through Dec. 24.
The big-box chain said it will also offer free
shipping for products out of stock in stores.

Wine experts: worst grape harvest in 50 years
BRUSSELS (AP) Winemaker Cherie
Spriggs had watched the bad weather over
southern Englands vineyards all season long.
It just wasnt good enough for Nyetimber, her
award-winning sparkling wine.
Spriggs was left with only one option and
the company decided to forego the 2012
harvest.
Few have gone as far as Nyetimber but
drought, frost and hail have combined to
ravage Europes wine grape harvest, which
in key regions this year will be the smallest
in half a century, vintners say.
Thierry Coste, an expert with the Euro-
pean Union farmers union, said Wednesday
that Frances grape harvest is expected to
slump by almost 20 percent compared with
last year. Italys grape crop showed a 7 per-
cent drop on top of a decline in 2011.
Frances Champagne and Burgundy
regions were hard hit by weather conditions
that particularly affected the prevalent Char-
donnay grape, used to make the worlds most
famous sparkling wine and the luxurious
whites from those regions. Nyetimber also
depends on Chardonnay.
Stock market edges up
NEW YORK (AP) A surprisingly strong
housing report helped push the stock market
mostly higher Wednesday, while weak earn-
ings reports from Intel and IBM weighed on
the Dow Jones industrial average.
Even though the two tech giants disap-
pointed, overall earnings results have come in
much better than some investors had feared,
said Dan Veru, chief investment officer at
Palisade Capital Management in Fort Lee, N.J.
Everyone is breathing a sigh of relief that
things arent all that bad, Veru said. Thats
what you see happening now.
The Dow edged up 5.22 points to close at
13,557, barely managing its fourth straight
day of gains. The broader Standard & Poors
500 index gained 5.99 points to 1,460.91.
Better results from Mattel, Goldman Sachs,
and Johnson & Johnson shot the stock market
higher Tuesday. For the week, the Dow is up
1.7 percent and the S&P 500 is up 2.3 percent.

Stronger housing
report gives boost
BOWLING GREEN Police said one boy
made an admission to involvement in at
least one of two racially charged incidents of
graffiti and vandalism this week.
Police Lt. Brad Biller said four juveniles,
ages 15 to 17, were questioned about a
swastika and white power being written
in chalk on the driveway of Bowling Green
State Universitys mens basketball coach
Louis Orr. One of the juveniles reportedly
admitted to participation in the graffiti, Lieu-
tenant Biller said.
The juvenile told police it was a prank, and
that one of their classmates who they con-
sider to be a friend lives at that house. The
boy also reportedly said the suspects were
engaged in other criminal mischief Saturday
night, including smashing pumpkins.
The teens have not been linked to the sec-
ond incident, which was reported to police
Monday afternoon.
Chad M. Franklin, 24, told police that
someone smashed a watermelon on his car
in the 200 block of East Merry Avenue and
left a note with a racial epithet.
Lieutenant Biller said information would
be given to the Wood County Prosecutors

ITS TIME FOR A CHANGE
Our current State Representative has had every opportunity to help our community
grow but has FAILED.
The list of legislation sponsored by our VOICE at the State House has been such a
disappointment.
The over-reaching regulations he has pushed on Ohio families are Unfair, Unsafe, and
Hurt Us All.
I have a wholesome and positive outlook of LIFE here and the hardest working people in
the Midwest.
I believe Allen County is the JEWEL of Ohio.
With your support on November 6th ROBERT HUENKE will support you in the legislature.

Playoff berths on the line as Celina visits Elida
By TOM USHER
419-993-2089
tusher@limanews.com
ELIDA Elida freshman Logan Alex-
ander is growing up in a hurry.
Two weeks ago Alexander took over
as the Bulldogs starting quarterback.
He proved he could run en route to
rushing for 113 yards in a last-minute
14-13 loss to unbeaten Ottawa-Glandorf.
Then last week in a 42-20 win over Bath,
he engineered several big drives, includ-
ing throwing for 187 yards and four TDs.
This week its the matchup of Elida
and its rookie quarterback and Celina
and its three-year starting quarterback
Braden Billger.
Celina (6-2, 5-2 Western Buckeye
League) travels to Elida (6-2, 5-2 WBL)
at 7:30 p.m. Friday at Kraft Stadium.
Elida is scoring 26.6 points and is
giving up 16 points-per-game. Celina is
scoring 38.1 and giving up 22.
The game also has plenty of computer
points on the line for the playoffs. Elida
stands eighth in region 10 of Division III.
Celina stands 10
th
in region 8 of Division II.
For the year, Alexander has com-
pleted 34 of 73 for 504 yards. Hes
thrown seven TDs and has five inter-
ceptions. Hes also run for 182 yards
and two TDs.
Helping Alexander ease into the tran-
sition is a standout receiving unit that
now includes former quarterback Clark
Etzler. The group is led by Brandon
Stinson (43 receptions, 605 yards, seven
TDs), who made another leaping grab
over a defender for a TD last week.
Nick Pauff has 35 receptions for 476
yards and six TDs. Tight end Quentin
Poling has 14 catches for 193 yards and
two TDs.
The offensive line did a nice job last
week in giving Alexander time to throw.
Defensively, the Bulldogs are led by
the linebacking unit of Poling (102 tack-
les), Dominic Painter (57 tackles) and
Kevin Russell (41 tackles). Lineman
Chance Weitz (40 tackles, three fumble
recoveries) can dominate the line of
scrimmage.
Celina has made a U-turn after
going 2-8 last year. The Bulldogs had
13 returning starters including Billger,
who threw for 2,700 yards last year.
Celina is coming off a 46-42 shoot-
out loss to Kenton last week. Billger
completed 30 of 42 for 246 yards and
four TDs. Three of the TD passes went
to Mason Ross, who finished with six
catches for 62 yards.
For the season, Billger has thrown for
2,248 yards and 29 TDs. The Bulldogs
leading receiver is Bralen Bader (40
receptions, 582 yards, nine TDs).
Last year Elida routed Celina 56-0,
but that was a graduated Reggie McAd-
ams at quarterback. Elida has won the
last three meetings, with Celinas last
win in the series coming in 2008, 34-13.

Shawnees Venegas
set to end prep

SHAWNEE No one
gets very far in golf without
patience and mental tough-
ness.
It is something every
player and coach will tell
you.
Shawnee senior Raven
Venegas has learned this,
and it is a big reason why she
will be competing again in
the Division I state girls golf
tournament on Friday and
Saturday at The Ohio State
University Gray Golf Course.
Venegas will tee off on hole
No. 10 at 9:48 a.m. Friday.
Ive really gotten strong
mentally, Venegas said.
Before this year, I would
count my strokes at the end
of every nine, and I would
always panic a little bit if I
wasnt doing well. This year
Ive relaxed a lot more and
had more fun.
Two years ago, Venegas
went to the Division II state
tournament with Shawnees
team as a fifth man in the
rotation. Shawnee finished
third that year. Venegas fin-
ished tied for 49th at that

Shawnee, Celina wins set up finals showdown
By MARK ALTSTAETTER
419-993-2085
sports@limanews.com
LIMA Experienced volley-
ball players tend to step up at the
right moment.
Each time Elida made a run,
Shawnees veteran players made
the big play en route to a 25-15,
22-25, 25-19, 25-21 victory over
Elida in a Division II sectional
semifinal Wednesday at Lima
Senior.
With the win, Shawnee
advances to Saturdays sectional
final at 4:45 p.m. against No.
1-seed Celina. Celina defeated
Bath in three straight games in
Wednesdays other sectional
semifinal at Lima Senior.
Senior Bethany Pohjala led
Shawnee with 14 kills and seven
blocks. Senior Ashley Strawn
dished out a game-high 23 assists
for the Indians.
After Shawnee (7-16) controlled
the first game, Elida (9-14) came
back in the second set, putting
Shawnee on its heels.
Shawnee coach Amy Knight
said her team made too many
unforced errors in the second
game.
We made too many mistakes in
a row. You cant have that many
mistakes in a row and expect to
win, Knight said.
In both the third and fourth
games, Shawnee fought off Eli-
das runs to slip out with the
victory.
Credit them. They know
how to put the game away and we
didnt know how to finish points,
Elida coach Kevin King said. I
thought we came out dead and
they came ready to play. That was
the difference in my mind.
We played a competitive game,
but we didnt rise above it and
finish the points. I just really
thought they wanted it more than
us, tonight.
Torie McAdams led Elida with
13 kills. McAdams and Aubrey
Williams each had two blocks.
Katie Hawk had 28 assists. Erika
Kiel had 22 digs. Ally Bader served
up three aces for the Bulldogs.

October bat with him.
Turns out they had the per-

Matt Carpenter hit a two-

Beltran and the Cardinals
chased Matt Cain before
a 3-hour rain delay in the
seventh inning of a 3-1 vic-
tory over the San Francisco
Giants on Wednesday night
for a 2-1 NL championship
series lead.
Beltran strained his left
knee running out a double-
play ball in the first innings
and the Cardinals said he
was day to day.
Kyle Lohse worked around
a season-worst five walks in
5 2-3 innings. Mitchell Boggs
struck out Hunter Pence and
Brandon Belt with two on to
end the seventh. Jason Motte
earned the first two-inning
save of his career to reward
what remained of a sellout
crowd of 45,850 perhaps a
third that stuck around for
a game that lasted 3 hours,
2 minutes, about a half-hour
shorter than the delay.
They said if we didnt
score I was going to go out
there. I was in the clubhouse
running around, Ive never
really had to sit around like
that, Motte said. It was
probably the most nervous
Ive ever been.

S P O R T S
SecondQuarter
It had been quite a while since I
had gone to a Cleveland Browns
game in person.
In fact, I cant even remember
the last time.
All I know is that they probably
lost.
Since returning to the NFL in
1999, the Browns win-loss record
is abysmal how about 69 wins
and 145 losses. And that includes
a 10-win season in 2007.
So when the invitation came
from friend Steve Maurer to join
him for the Browns-Bengals game
this past Sunday, I was not opti-
mistic of seeing a victory.
The Browns had already lost
once to their state rival, and had
not won a regular season game
since last November.
But how could I not turn down
the offer to watch a Browns game
in person?
We left at 7:30a.m., which with a
1 p.m. kickoff, I thought was more
than enough time to tailgate before
the game. But
after stopping for
breakfast, and park-
ing near Quicken
Loans Arena, which
is nowhere near
Cleveland Browns
Stadium, our time of
arrival was 12:30 p.m, which meant
tailgating would be reduced to $7.50
beers inside the stadium.
Taking the escalator to our
seats, which were in the 500 sec-
tion of the stadium, the moving
stairwell suddenly stopped. Is that
an omen of what was going to
happen with the Browns today?
Again? Ugh.
No, the Browns are going to
win, said my friend Steve. I have
been telling you that since Tuesday.
Based on what? They hadnt
won a game in nearly a year.
Hello.
I hope you are right, I
responded. But I dont see it or
feel it, for sure.
Thats the
negative part of
a Cleveland pro
sports fan.
You believe some-
thing bad is always
going to happen.
Your optimism is
going to turn into disappointment.
Once in our seats, high atop the
stadium, I look around and am
dumbounded by (a) the amount of
empty seats, and (b) the amount
of people whoare walking outside
the stadium, coming to the game
late. Do you know how much a
ticket is to a Browns game?
Standing for the national
anthem, I start to get emotional.
I harken back to my days as a
kid, going to a Cleveland pro
sporting event in person, with my
dad, with friends, with my fam-
ily. I love this town and I love my
Browns, Indians and Cavaliers. It
is a tough love, but I continue to
stick by them.
The game starts bad for the
Browns. After driving on their
opening possession, QB Brandon
Weeden has a pass deflected and
then intercepted. Here we go,
again, I yell to Steve.
We are going to win this game,
he reiterated.
He would be right. But even the
guy who was optimistic about the
Browns winning their first game in
nearly a year had a weak moment.
The Browns had intercepted a
pass and ran it in for a touchdown
to take a 17-point lead in the
fourth quarter.
But the Bengals scored on a
long pass play and after holding
the Browns to a three and out,
were driving again with a chance
to get even closer.
And there was Steve-so posi-
tive earlier, shaking his head in
disbelief. We can lose this game,
unbelievable.
Thats what happens to Cleve-
land pro sports fans. Its happened
before and it can happen again.
Defeat snatched from the jaws of
victory.
But this time the Browns won.
It was disappointing to see a
half empty stadium as the clock
wound down.
The teams first win since last
November how could you not
sit there and enjoy the moment.
We stayed long after the game
had ended.
My voice was hoarse from all of
the barking and cheering.
And I loved every moment of it.
We even got to stay in Cleveland
that night and continued to revel
in a rare win.
You always feel better after the
Browns win a game, dont you?
We just havent had that feeling
very often since 99.
Steve, when are we going back
to Cleveland?
Im ready to watch another one.

AUSTIN, Texas Lance Arm-
strong stepped down as chairman of
his Livestrong cancer-fighting charity
and Nike severed ties with him as fall-
out from the doping scandal swirling
around the famed cyclist escalated
Wednesday.
Armstrong announced his move at
the charity in an early-morning state-
ment. Within minutes, Nike said that
it would end its relationship with him
due to the seemingly insurmountable
evidence that Lance Armstrong par-
ticipated in doping and misled Nike
for more than a decade.
Nike said it will continue to support
Livestrong.
The U.S. Anti-Doping Agency
released a massive report last week
detailing allegations of widespread
doping by Armstrong and his teams
when he won the Tour de France
seven consecutive times from 1999 to
2005.
The documents purpose was to
show why USADA has banned him
from cycling for life and ordered 14
years of his career results erased
including those Tour titles. It contains
sworn statements from 26 witnesses,
including 11 former teammates.
Armstrong, who was not paid a
salary as chairman of the Lance Arm-
strong Foundation, will remain on its
15-member board. His duties leading
the board will be turned over to vice
chairman Jeff Garvey, who was found-
ing chairman in 1997.
This organization, its mission and
its supporters are incredibly dear to
my heart, Armstrong said in a state-
ment. Today therefore, to spare the
foundation any negative effects as
a result of controversy surrounding
my cycling career, I will conclude my
chairmanship.
Foundation spokeswoman Kather-
ine McLane said the decision turns
over the foundations big-picture stra-
tegic planning to Garvey. He will also
assume some of the public appear-
ances and meetings that Armstrong
used to handle.
Armstrong strongly denies doping,
but did not fight USADA accusations
through arbitration, saying he thinks
the process is unfair. Once Armstrong
gave up the fight in August and the
report came out, crisis management
experts predicted the future of the
foundation, known mainly by its
Livestrong brand name, would be
threatened. They said Armstrong
should consider stepping down to
keep the charity from getting dragged
into a debate over doping.
Armstrongs inspiring story of not
only recovering from testicular cancer
that had spread to his lungs and brain
but then winning the worlds best-
known bike race helped his founda-
tion grow from a small operation in
Texas into one of the most popular
charities in the country.
Livestrong says it had functional
expenses totaling nearly $35.8 million
last year and 82 percent of every dol-
lar raised went directly to programs, a
total of more than $29.3 million.
Sister: Earnhardt could be
back next weekend
CHARLOTTE, N.C. Dale Earn-
hardt Jr.s sister says NASCARs most
popular driver could be back racing
next week at Martinsville Speedway.
Earnhardt will miss his second
consecutive race Sunday at Kansas
because of two concussions suffered
in a six-week span.
Kelley Earnhardt Miller wrote in
a post Wednesday on JRNation.com
that Earnhardt is on schedule to test
a car early next week. If all goes well,
said says he can race again Oct. 28 at
Martinsville.
Earnhardt Miller says her brother
has been resting per doctor orders,
but has been allowed to watch some
television and play some video games.
NFL responds to Vilma,
NFLPA lawsuits
NEW ORLEANS The NFL is
again urging a federal judge to avoid
interfering in Commissioner Roger
Goodells efforts to discipline four
players for the Saints cash-for-hits
bounty pool.
In a response Wednesday to papers
the players filed earlier this week,
the NFL says its collective bargaining
agreement with the players union
gives Goodell the power to handle dis-
cipline involving conduct detrimental
to football at his discretion.
U.S. District Judge Ginger Berrigan
is considering the players request
to overturn varying suspensions to
Saints linebacker Jon Vilma (full sea-
son), Saints defensive end Will Smith
(four games), free agent defensive
lineman Anthony Hargrove (seven
games) and Cleveland linebacker
Scott Fujita (one game). The players
also want Berrigan to appoint a neu-
tral arbitrator to handle any disci-
pline in the matter.
The NFL argues that the players
request turns the CBA (and the law)
on its head.

OWINGS MILLS, Md. The Bal-

Lewis tore his right triceps in Sun-

scheduled to undergo surgery on
Wednesday. Although coach John
Harbaugh said Monday that the
37-year-old linebacker is out for the
year, the Ravens placed Lewis on
injured reserve with the designated
to return tag.
Wednesdays move makes Lewis eli-
gible to return in six weeks. He does
not count against the 53-man roster.
The loss of Lewis coincides with
the return of linebacker Terrell Suggs,
the 2011 NFL defensive player of the
year. Suggs practiced Wednesday for
the first time this season after miss-
ing months with a torn right Achilles
tendon.

Venegas has made
remarkable strides since
her sophomore year, when
she shot scores of 101 and
91 at the state tournament.
Though those scores were
good for a sophomore, this
years scores have been
consistently well below
those numbers. She shot
a third-best 82 at section-
als,andasecond-best86at
districts. Her best score of
the season was a 79 in the
Thunderbird Invitational at
HawthorneHills.
Its been a pretty typical
season for her, Clum said.

Bowling
season
gets rolling
By JACK HAMMILL
419-993-2085
sports@limanews.com
The Lima Bowling Asso-
ciation Officers Tourna-
ment used to be the event
that opened the Lima
area bowling season. This
Singles event will be rolled
Saturday at Norada Lanes
in Ada.
In recent years different
tournaments have gotten
the season rolling prior
to this one, most notably
the professional events
in the area and the 600
Club, which is an event for
women in our area who
have topped the 600-mark
in league and tournament
play.
Now, there is also the
collegiate play of The Rac-
ers from UNOH, making
the early part of the sched-
ule busy.
The 600 Club event
remains a handicap tour-
nament with even greater
impact on that category as
this season it lacked the
occasion of bowler of the
year points for the victors
in the A Division.
Elaine McBeth grabbed
the top handicap honors
with a four-game total of
944. Liz Behnke grabbed
second place with an 875
demonstrating the domi-
nance of McBeth in the
event.
Shelley Ambroza
repeated her title of last
season taking the Actual
honors and the coveted
Jeannie Miller award.
Amy Muniz took both
honors in the B Division,
which this season actually
had fewer participants
than the A Division. She
rolled a handicap score of
673 to outdistance Audra
Pyles who shot 626.
The disparity in the
scores is due to some
extent that the A Division
rolls four games and the B
Division scores are based
on three games.
UNOH conquers
WHAC season opener
Their season opened
with the third annual
Racer Classic, with teams
from around the United
States.
Since that time the Rac-
ers battled in a Tier One
contest in Milwaukee,
Wisc. and then traveled
this past weekend to
Adrian, Mich. for the first
tournament in this sea-
sons Wolverine-Hoosier
Athletic Conference.
The Racers had a
modest performance in
Milwaukee with the men
ranking in the top third
of the large field and the
women in the top half.
The Milwaukee tourna-
ment featured a highly
competitive field.
In the event at Lenawee
Lanes in Adrian, the
UNOH men won the title
and the ladies grabbed
third.
Phil Austin said the pat-
tern in Adrian was difficult
and voiced pride that the
men took the title with an
average just under 190 for
the weekend.
The Racers will be in
Dayton this weekend at
another premier event, the
Black and Orange Invita-
tional of Pikeville State.
Looking for just that
right bowling artifact
I had the opportunity
this past summer to write
a brief series on bowling
for the Reminisce section
of this paper. We explored
the history of bowling in
the Lima area. I wish that I
would have happened into
Relics a vintage store, on
Auglaize Street in Wapak,
at the time of the article.
While the store is filled
with a broad array of
items it is the bowling
objects in the store that
caught my attention,
especially a lamp with a
bowling pin base. There
were items as well ranging
from repurposed bowling
balls to old Brunswick era
settees to a vintage bowl-
ing game that would be
the perfect centerpiece
for any bowlers man cave.
Make the trip to Wapak
and check it out.
Columbus Grove spikes Continental in sectional semis
PREP ROUNDUP
Temple, Ottoville advance to sectional finals
By MIKE MILLER
419-993-2085
sports@limanews.com
ELIDA It is usually about which
team can control the net and both
Temple Christian and Ottoville
accomplished that Wednesday night
at Elida in Division IV volleyball
action.
Temple knocked off Waynesfield-
Goshen in five games in the opener
before Ottoville bested Perry in three
games in the night cap.
In a repeat of regular season action
that also went 5 games, the Pioneers
won by scores of 26-24, 25-15, 25-27,
26-28, and 15-8 over the Tigers and
the right to advance to play Ottoville.
Temple Christian and Ottoville will
meet at 7:15 p.m. Saturday at Elida
for the right to advance to the Van
Wert district.
The tight match came down to
sophomore Lynnea Clay and junior
Amanda Sutton taking over in the
fifth set with blocks and kills as the
Pioneers pulled away for the victory.
Temple Christian (14-7) was led
by Clay with 15 kills, 3 blocks and
7 aces while Sutton complimented
that effort with 14 digs and 14 kills.
The Tigers (6-16) bounced back
from losing the first two games to
win the next two and force the fifth
game.
There were times they got down
but they pulled themselves back up
and played competitively, Waynes-
field-Goshen coach Karen Dunson
said. Im proud of what they did and
how they played tonight.
The Tigers were led by Chelsea
Spencer with 11 digs while Kiersten
Wilcox had 12 kills and Bailey Col-
lins added 11 kills. Taylor VanHorn
led the Tigers with 10 assists.
We werent getting the ball to our
hitters and then we started to get it
to Clay and Sutton, Pioneers coach
Tim Acklin said. Those two were
keys for us tonight.
The nightcap saw Ottoville, with a
huge size advantage, knock off Perry
25-13, 25-18, 25-21.
They were led by 6-foot-2 senior
Abby Siefker, who has committed
to play basketball at Bowling Green
State University.
Siefker had eight kills, four blocks
and five aces while Tonya Kaufman
added 13 assists and Annie Linde-
man chipped in with seven kills and
two aces.
The Big Green improved to 9-13 on
the year and must continue to find
the right girls with the ball if they
wish to move on in postseason play.
We play a really tough schedule so
our record is a little deceiving, Big
Green coach Kirt Martz said. When
we serve and receive well we play
very well, we have to be able to get
the ball to the target.
Perry (6-16) refused to quit despite
their tallest player measuring only
5-foot-7.
We tried to make them play away
from the net in order to keep their
height advantage to a minimum,
Perry coach Gina Shively said. I had
four seniors who played their hearts
out and gave it their best shot.
The Commodores were led by
seniors Haley King with 25 digs
and Abbie Patton with 9 kills, while
junior Autumn Fetter chipped in
with 8 assists.

SOUTH BEND, Ind.
Notre Dame tight end Tyler
Eifert has had to work a lot
harder this year to accom-
plish a lot less personally,
discovering that being the
best receiver on the field
draws a lot more attention.
Defenders are double
teaming him and forcing him
out of his routes, making it
harder to be as productive as
last season when he set the
school record for catches by
a tight end with 63. He was
held without a catch against
Michigan State, had just one
against Michigan and two
against Miami, a span where
sometimes his contribution
came as more of a blocker
than a receiver.
The soft-spoken senior
from Fort Wayne doesnt
let it faze him, though. After
mulling a decision to turn
pro after last season, hes
just happy to be part of the
unbeaten fifth-ranked Fight-
ing Irish (6-0) as they prepare
to play Brigham Young (4-3)
on Saturday.
Its just nice to be win-
ning, he said. Id rather
come back and be winning
than losing. But either way
I would have been happy to
be back.
The Irish could use a big
game by Eifert against the
Cougars, who rank third
in the country in rushing
defense at 68 yards a game.
Eifert hasnt let the lack
of production frustrate him,
saying it simply isnt his
style. He said he learned that
last season from watching
receiver Michael Floyd, a
first-round draft pick with
the Arizona Cardinals. Thats
when Floyd was the focus of
opposing defenses and Eif-
ert flourished from being the
guy who was getting single-
coverage.
You just keep playing. Its
a long game. Be patient, Eif-
ert said.
Linebacker Manti Teo said
his teammates notice Eiferts
work ethic and lack of self-
ishness.
He hasnt had the kind of
receptions and numbers that
he would like, but you never
would see Tyler complaining.
As long as were winning,
hes happy, Teo said. He
leads by example. He leads
by his work ethic, and just
really, really doing his best to
ensure that our team wins.
While the number of
catches he is making this sea-
son has dropped, the plays
he is making have been big.
Eifert has only 15 catches
this season, yet 10 of those
have been for first downs or
touchdowns.
Against Stanford, Eifert
tied the score at 10-10 on the
first play of the fourth-quar-
ter with a 24-yard TD recep-
tion on third-and-18 where
he used his 6-foot-6 height to
get above a pair of 6-1 Stan-
ford defenders to catch the
pass from Everett Golson.
His only reception against
Michigan was a 38-yard catch
on a third-and-4 that allowed
Notre Dame to run out the
clock and make sure Michi-
gan, which had won three
straight games in the final 27
seconds, didnt get a chance
for a comeback.
He also had four catches
for a career-high 98 yards in
a victory over Purdue, where
his father was a former bas-
ketball standout.
Coach Brian Kelly said
hes enjoyed watching Eifert
develop from being a quiet
player who sat in the back of
the room into one of the best
players on the team who sits
up front and is a leader.
You know youre moving
your program along when
your best players are your
best workers, Kelly said.
Eifert continues a growing
list of standout tight ends
at Notre Dame that includes
former second-round draft
picks Anthony Fasano and
John Carlson and Kyle
Rudolph in the past seven
years.
If Eifert can raise his pro-
ductivity a bit he can break
the school record of 128
career receptions by a tight
end set by Ken MacAfee
from 1974-77. Eifert has 105
career catches now.
That would be pretty
amazing when you really
think about it, he said.

S P O R T S
By TOM WITHERS
The Associated Press
BEREA Joe Banner didnt
want to make any promises or pre-
dictions. Its not his nature.
But just as he helped transform
the Philadelphia Eagles into consis-
tent winners, the new CEO of the
Cleveland Browns has a plan to fix
a franchise trapped inside a vortex
of failure.
He just hopes it doesnt take five
years.
Ill be in a straitjacket if it takes
that long, Banner joked.
On the same day GOP vice
presidential candidate Paul Ryan
rerouted his campaign trail through
Clevelands practice, the Browns
ushered in a new administration
as Banner was introduced by new
owner Jimmy Haslam III, whose
$1 billion purchase of the fran-
chise was approved at the NFLs fall
meetings on Tuesday.
Banner spent 19 years with the
Eagles, spending the final 12 sea-
sons as team president. During his
time in Philadelphia, the Eagles
went to the playoffs 11 times, won
six NFC East titles, advanced to
five NFC title games and one Super
Bowl. The 59-year-old knows that
other than losing, the only constant
in Cleveland over the past decade
has been change.
Hes aware that other executives
have tried and failed to turn around
the Browns, who have made the
playoffs just once since 1999. Ban-
ner isnt going to dwell on past mis-
takes or make any rash judgments
as eases into his new position. Hes
only interested in delivering a win-
ner to Clevelands long-suffering
and passionate fans.
I dont want to be the next per-
son to make a bunch of promises,
he said. I want to go out, do the
work and let them see the result.
Banner wont officially begin han-
dling the Browns day-to-day operations
until Oct. 25, when Haslams acquisition
of the team from Randy Lerner will be
finalized. By then, the Browns (1-5)
will have played seven games and both
Haslam and Banner will have a better
sense of the work ahead.
After resigning as Philadelphias
president in June, Banner stayed
on as a consultant to owner Jeff
Lurie with the Eagles and kept
one eye on his next challenge. He
met with Haslam, and from his
first conversation with the truck
stop magnate, Banner knew he had
found something worth pursuing.
The Browns had everything he
wanted: a franchise with untapped
potential, a passionate owner and
fervent fan base. For Banner, it was
so much like what he had experi-
enced almost 20 years ago when he
started in Philadelphia.
I thought this would be a year or
two process to find the situation I
was looking for and the right own-
ership and the right city and every-
thing like that, he said. To be hon-
est, I wasnt even sure I would ever
find it. But I certainly thought it
would take a while. To have found
somebody like Jimmy and to be in
a market like Cleveland, with a love
of the team and love of the game
like this, in a matter of four or five
months to me is remarkable and
very, very lucky.
Banners arrival signals the end
of Mike Holmgrens tenure as
Browns president and could lead
to a further shake-up in Cleve-
lands front office. Holmgren is
expected to stay on until the end
of this season, his third with the
club, and then retire.
While Holmgrens future is known,
the prospects for Browns coach Pat
Shurmur and general manager Tom
Heckert are uncertain.

CINCINNATI (AP) Cornerback
Dre Kirkpatrick is getting close to his
injury-delayed debut.
The Cincinnati Bengals top draft
pick hurt his left knee while working
out during the summer, forcing him
to miss out on the chance to compete
for a starting job during training camp.
Finally, the knee is healed and the 17th
overall pick in the draft is ready to get
on the field for the first time.
It could happen Sunday night
against Pittsburgh.
Its possible, coach Marvin Lewis
said on Wednesday. Well see what
happens through the week.
The Bengals (3-3) have struggled to
overcome injuries to defensive backs
all season, starting with Kirkpatricks
knee. They have only two intercep-
tions, tied with Pittsburgh, Indianap-
olis and Detroit for second-fewest in
the league. Dallas has only one.
Cincinnati has repeatedly shuffled
its secondary, finally deciding to
start Terence Newman at corner-
back opposite Leon Hall and mov-
ing cornerback Nate Clements to
safety, which has been a problem
area. They also brought back safety
Chris Crocker, who has one of the
two interceptions. Defensive line-
man Michael Johnson has the other.
Kirkpatrick expected to be playing
long before now. He recovered from
the knee injury in time to practice in
August and was hoping to play in the
final preseason game at Indianapolis.
He developed tendinitis in the knee
after a few practices, forcing him to
back off the workouts.
He was cleared to resume practice on
a limited basis two weeks ago, and has
gradually increased his number of plays.
Im coming along, Kirkpatrick
said Wednesday before practice. Im
getting there. Every day is a process,
and Im managing it well and going
as hard as I can every day.
Kirkpatrick still gets treatment on
the knee, but said it hasnt given him
any problems. He found it easy to be
patient when he was just starting his
rehabilitation program.
Early on it was because I knew I
couldnt go out there, he said. Now
it gets frustrating sometime, but my
dad is a pastor and he is putting wis-
dom and the right things in my head.
The Bengals have to decide
whether to let him play on Sunday
night against Ben Roethlisberger and
the Steelers (2-3), or sit him one
more game and then give him the bye
week to do more catching up. The
Bengals play against Denver and the
Giants coming out of their bye.
Kirkpatrick knows that Roeth-
lisberger, Peyton Manning and Eli
Manning will make a point to test a
rookie cornerback.
Its not going to be easy, he said.
Every day is a challenge. Thats why
I look up to the leaders to help me in
the film room and show me what Im
not doing right.

Younger baby boomers cant get
a break and now some are going
broke just as they are nearing retire-
ment.
During their critical pre-retire-
ment years, theyve been hit hard by
the technology bust, the real estate
meltdown, the financial crisis, and
the deepest recession since the
1930s, said Boca Raton, Fla., finan-
cial planner Mari Adam, herself a boomer.
In her latest newsletter, she details five sur-
prises costing a fortune to the younger boomers,
who are 45 to 54.
1
Real income for the boomers has barely
increased in the last 20 years, Adam said.
Some boomers have lost jobs or been forced to
take wage cuts or shorter hours.
2
Education costs have increased over the
last 20 years a whopping 80 percent for
the boomers as they continue to pay off pricey
college educations for themselves and their chil-
dren, Adam said.
3
Adult kids are needing financial help after
five years of economic hard times: Many
are having a hard time finding jobs to support
themselves. As a result, more than half of par-
ents are giving financial support to their adult
children, pitching in to cover student loans,
transportation and medical costs, and living
expenses, Adam wrote in her newsletter.
4
Housing expenses including mortgages,
taxes, insurance, and maintenance have
jumped 25 percent, even though mortgage rates
have fallen over that same period, Adam said.
Meanwhile, some of South Floridas younger
boomers have lost their homes to foreclosure or
a short sale.
5
Healthcare costs have climbed 30 percent,
especially insurance premiums, The increase
has essentially wiped out the gains in median
family income over the past decade, Adam
quotes research by the National Center for
Policy Analysis.

Boomers budget busters: 5 surprises cost them a fortune
By JOHN-JOHN WILLIAMS IV
The Baltimore Sun
BALTIMORE After years of watching
Lynn Weisberg purchase garment after
garment, boutique manager Karen Ciurca-
Weiner finally told her loyal customer a
hard truth she needed to stop buying
and start looking at what she had.
Ciurca-Weiner suggested that what Weis-
berg really needed was to organize her
closet.
She kept buying all these clothes,
Ciurca-Weiner said as she stood inside her
clients closet, a 9-by-12-foot converted
office space that now has shelving and
drawers to accommodate Weisbergs
clothes. I told her to stop buying items
and make outfits out of clothes she
already had.
Since their initial session five years ago,
the two have come together twice a year
to organize Weisbergs clothes once at
the beginning of spring and once at the
beginning of fall. The nearly four-hour
sessions allow Weisberg to maximize her
closet space while planning her outfits for
the upcoming season.
She cleans out and refreshes my closet
every season, the Pikesville, Md., resident
said about Ciurca-Weiner. Its a time-saver
and a huge money-saver.
More and more people are seeking the
help of closet organizers to create order
and save money, according to experts. In
addition to purging closets of space-eating
out-of-date garments, the experts are using
their knowledge to identify hidden gems to
create fresh looks for their clients.
Although more attention is being paid
to the closet, it still remains one of the
least-used rooms in the home, according to
Ciurca-Weiner, who works at the Baltimore
womens clothing boutique Jones & Jones.
Clear the clutter

For the past six years, Karen Ciurca-Weiner (left) has been helping her clients organize. Here she assists Lynne Weisberg with her closet in Pikesville, Md.
Organizing your closet can help fatten your wallet
Organizing your closet begins during
shopping, according to experts. Dont buy
over-the-top trendy, Karen Ciurca-Weiner
said. Buy trendy pieces that will be pre-
served over a period of time. People go
discount shopping and they buy things that
dont coordinate. Its better to buy a couple
great pieces that you can style around as
opposed to pieces that you dont know
what to do with.
Must have items:
Every womens closet should contain
these items, according to Karen Ciurca-
Weiner.
White shirt: A fitted clean white shirt is a must.
Boyfriend blazer: Everyone should own a
black or white go-to jacket.
Belt: A belt that is the right length
preferably black patent leather com-
pletes any wardrobe.
Nude-colored shoes (taupe or beige):
They go with everything.
Little black dress: Its a no-brainer.
Ruffled blouse: Its timeless.
Things to throw out:
Our experts have no problem getting rid
of items especially when the threads
have seen better days.
Things that dont fit and stained clothes:
No matter what you paid, it had its day.
Its over, Judy Pressman said.
Outdated clothes: I dont care what you
paid for it, Pressman said. You really
think it will come back, but its like an old
boyfriend: Even when it comes back, its
never the same.
SHOPPING FOR AN ORGANIZED CLOSET
See CLOSET D2
The biggest problem is that
people dont know how to
utilize their space, she said.
They dont have enough cube
space. And they dont stack
things such as sweaters.
You dont have to have a
lavish Sex And The City-
type closet to use the ser-
vices and suggestions of a
closet organizer, according
to experts. With the addition
of several hooks for clothes
and jewelry, a few shelves
for shoes and even a curtain
rod to hang scarves, anyone
can maximize their closet
space, said Ciurca-Weiner.
Its very important to cre-
ate closet and drawer space,
she said. You must utilize
every space. You have to
have a need for each space.
Ciurca-Weiner organizes
closets by garments and col-
ors arranging items from
light to dark. I organize a
closet like its like a store. I
make it easier to shop your
closet, she said.
Weisbergs closet reveals
Ciurca-Weiners handiwork.
Behind the sliding door is a
space filled with outfits pieced
together by Ciurca-Weiner.
One wall is lined with cus-
tomized shelving and stacked
with 100 heels and wedges
by designers such as Jimmy
Choo and Stuart Weitzman.
On the same wall, drawers
are neatly organized by items
including jewelry and exercise
clothes. A hanging rack on
the back of the door is filled
with assorted ballet flats and
sandals. A vanity and comfy,
plush chair allow Weisberg to
coordinate her makeup with
her ensemble for the day.
I use every little bit of
space there is, Weisberg
said. This is not storage.
Image consultant Judy Press-
man would agree that closets
shouldnt be used just for hang-
ing clothes that get little wear.
As founder of the Baltimore-
based J.P. Images, Pressman
has fine-tuned her closet orga-
nizing over the past 30 years.
After you work with me,
youll feel great. The confu-
sion is gone. It will take you
two seconds to get dressed
in the morning, said Press-
man, whose roster of clients
includes professional women
in Baltimore, Washington
and Virginia, and can swell
to up to 100 at the start of the
spring and fall seasons.
Pressmans sessions, which
run $150 per hour for an aver-
age of three hours, include
a consultation, an overall
cleaning and organization of
the closet, a mission state-
ment where she assigns cli-
ents labels such as elegant
chic and glamour spice,
and creation of a look book
charting every item of cloth-
ing in the closet.
Q
How do I accept a child my
husband had with another
woman while we were sepa-
rated? I love kids and I feel bad
for the feelings I have toward
this child, but theres been so
much drama and pain caused
because of this child (rather
than the actions of the parents).
How can I not feel resentment
toward her? And just looking at
the baby reminds me of the time
we separated. Can you shed
some light on this dark situa-
tion?
A
I get hundreds of questions
each week and the sub-
jects often come in waves. For
the last month
or two I have
received count-
less emails like
yours from
people who were
together, broke
up, someone
either got preg-
nant or got someone pregnant,
they reconciled, and now theres
a baby that neither expected.
Understanding this is a gut-
wrenching situation to face, I
first have to say this: Condoms,
people! Morals aside, everyone
has an opinion about when it
is appropriate to have sex, but
most agree in this day and age,
safe sex is the way
to go. The most
unpredictable time
in ones life is right
after you break
up with someone.
Rarely do people
make a clean break
of it. There are lots
of reconsiderations before the
final decision is made, and in that
time, if youre sleeping with other
people, be responsible! Babies
are forever. So are some STDs.
Both can be avoided by using
condoms.
Now to address the issue: How
do you accept this child? I cant
tell you how to accept her, but I
can tell you why you should. In
your initial communication you
said, There is a lot of drama as a
result of the child, not the actions
of the parents. On the contrary,
it IS the action of the parents
who have caused this, not the
child. You love the guy so you
are attaching blame to the child.
Doesnt make it true. If you have
decided to stay with this man,
then you accept everything about
him. This is his child. How she
got here is irrelevant if you
have decided to stay with him.
And, simply because she is here,
she deserves the same amount
of love and acceptance in your
home as any child either of you
have brought into the world.
Finally, to help you deal,
remember, looking at something
a little differently often helps us
cope. Breaking up and starting
over is messy business. Rather
than look at the baby and let it
remind you that you once sepa-
rated, why not look at her and
realize that you are together
against all odds? You always have
the option to walk away.

Husbands other child a painful reminder
L I F E S T Y L E
BY ELIZABETH WHITEHEAD
CHAPTER TWELVE
On the Eve of
Independence
When the darkness lifted, Sam and
Isabel found themselves in a large
room, surrounded by 50 or 60 men
sitting in chairs or talking in small
groups. One man sat at a desk at the
front of the room. A long document
lay before him. Sam peered over
his shoulder and read the first line:
The unanimous Declaration of the
thirteen united States of America
What is this, Professor?
Why, the Declaration of Indepen-
dence. Many Americans believe the
colonies should break away from
Great Britain and form their own
nation. They hope other countries
will help them if they explain all
the ways Britain has treated them
wrongly. Young Thomas Jefferson of
Virginia was asked to write the Dec-
laration.
What about Ben? Isabel asked.
Oh, he helped, which was a good
thing because there were few people
whose opinion Thomas Jefferson
respected more than Ben Franklins.
In fact, the professor said pointing,
There they are.
Isabel looked up and sure enough
70-year-old Ben was stretched out
in a chair. His eyes were closed. He
seemed asleep, as men talked and
argued around him. Beside him was
Thomas Jefferson, a tall, thin young
man with sandy reddish hair. At the
moment he looked very unhappy.
Why is Jefferson upset, Profes-
sor?
He worked very hard on the Dec-
laration, Isabel. But now that hes fin-
ished, the other representatives keep
changing more and more of it.
As the debate continued, Isabel
watched Ben. He still seemed to be
asleep. When she pointed this out to
the professor, he just laughed.
Dont you worry about Ben. He
never believes in talking simply to
hear his own voice. But when he
does choose to speak, people listen
carefully.
Sam was getting bored, so he
plopped down into one of the free
chairs near Ben.
Ouch! he yelped, falling to the
floor. Gosh, I keep forgetting these are
phantom chairs. They seem so real.
Isabel barely heard him. She
was watching intently as another
speaker stood up to demand still
more changes in the Declaration. She
looked over at Thomas Jefferson. He
had dropped his face in his hands.
Turning, she saw Ben Franklins eyes
were now wide open. He watched Jef-
ferson for a moment. Then he tapped
him on the shoulder. Leaning over,
Franklin began telling him a story. Soon
the frown began to lift from Jeffersons
face. By the time Franklin had finished,
the young man was smiling.
The professor laughed. Good old
Ben.
What did he say? What did he
say?
Well, Isabel, he told Jefferson a
story about a young man who once
made a sign for his business. It had a
picture of a hat and the words: John
Thompson, Hatter, makes and sells
hats for ready money. Thompson
asked his friends what they thought
of his sign.
Each person told the young man
that it was too long. He kept cutting
more and more words until finally all
that was left was his name and a pic-
ture of the hat. His friends said that
was all that was needed for people to
know it was a hat shop.
What does that have to do with
the Declaration of Independence,
Professor?
Ben wanted Jefferson to under-
stand that no matter how many
changes were made in the Declara-
tion, it would still carry a powerful
message. And he was right. The del-
egates will approve it two days later
on
The Fourth of July!
Independence Day!
Exactly. Soon church bells will
ring as the Declaration of Indepen-
dence is read to cheering crowds
throughout the colonies.
So, is that when the colonies
became the United States of America?
Not quite yet, Isabel. They still
must fight and win the war
against the British. Only then can
they be free. Since Great Britain is
so strong, the Americans need other
countries to support them. Once
again, Ben Franklin will step forward
on Americas behalf. But will he suc-
ceed yet again?
Prof. McDougal took out the Time
Stone. Now, my friends, we are about
to journey across the Atlantic Ocean,
all the way to France, March 1778.

Time Stone Series of American
Heroes: Benjamin Franklin
THURSDAY, OCT. 18, 2012
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Look for
a little excitement. Traveling in search
of knowledge or meeting new people
from different backgrounds will lead to
an adventure. However, as much as you
desire change, you must not make an
impulsive decision or move.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Do what-
ever it takes to improve your personal
life. Travel plans or socializing with
friends will lead to higher self-esteem
and greater confidence. Use past experi-
ence to recognize an opportunity and
leap into action. Love is in the stars.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): A straight-
forward approach to what youve been
asked to do will be necessary if you
dont want to be criticized for your tardi-
ness. Too much detail will be just as
unacceptable as too little. You must
strive to balance whatever you do.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): Follow
through with your promises and enjoy
the praise you deserve. Love is on the
rise. Making a subtle change at home
that will enhance your surroundings or
setting the stage for romance will pay
off, as well as boost your confidence.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You may have
the energy and the passion to take
on a challenge, but expect to face a
very worthy opponent. Precision and
knowledge coupled with quick wit and
action will determine who wins. Join
forces with someone who compliments
your skills.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You will learn
a great deal from the people you interact
with. Dont let an emotional connection
you have with someone upset your plans.
Consider what you can do to improve your
outlook and your physical appearance.
Professionalism will be required.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Talks will
lead to information that will encourage
you to expand some of your interests.
What you have to offer will turn out to be
a viable source of income in the future
if you dedicate time and effort to honing
your skills.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Have
fun. Show how creative, imaginative and
spontaneous you can be. Romance is
apparent, and plans to meet someone
new or enhance your current relation-
ship should be in the works. A personal
change will lift your spirits.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Too
much of anything will be your downfall.
Dont make promises you cannot keep
or share information that is not verified.
The changes you make at home will help
encourage you to alter your lifestyle and
enhance your well-being.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Deter-
mination and hard work will pay off. Take
on responsibilities that allow you to show
your attributes. You can secure your posi-
tion by handling whatever arises without
making a fuss or showing frustration.
Expertise will count. Love, romance and
commitment are highlighted.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Take
your time. Dont feel pressured to make
a hasty decision. Work at home and on
self-improvement and enhancing your per-
sonal relationships. A change in status or
vocational direction will lead to bigger and
better opportunities. Avoid excess.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Keep
your emotions in check. Arguments will
not solve problems, but finding solutions
that suit everyones needs in a manner
that is civil will make an impression on
someone that may have overlooked your
talents in the past.
CLOSET from D1
By SUSAN CARPENTER
Los Angeles Times
LOS ANGELES Call it
the H&M effect, or fast fash-
ion. Americans are buying,
and discarding, clothes more
quickly than ever. On aver-
age, each of us throws 54
pounds of clothes and shoes
into the trash each year. That
adds up to about 9 million
tons of shoes, jackets and
other wearables that are sent
into the waste stream annu-
ally, according to the U.S.
Environmental Protection
Agency.
Traditionally, the options
for dealing with that waste
have started with an R:
Reduce, reuse or recycle.
But a clutch of designers are
pursuing a different tack.
Theyre producing cloth-
ing and accessories that are
biodegradable or at the
very least, have parts that
are capable of decompos-
ing into natural substances.
The movement is still in its
infancy, but its an important
development in an industry
thats increasingly scruti-
nized for its wastefulness.
Gucci began selling sun-
glasses and footwear made
with biodegradable plastics
over the summer. This fall,
Stella McCartney debuted
several styles of heels with
mock croc and faux leather
uppers anchored with
chunky, biodegradable rub-
ber soles. And, in the near
future, Puma says it will pro-
duce a new line of T-shirts
and sneakers that can be
ripped up and buried in the
ground as fertilizer.
Everyone is beginning to
appreciate the need to reduce
fashions impact on the envi-
ronment, said Alex McIn-
tosh, business and research
manager for the Centre for
Sustainable Fashion at the
London College of Fashion.
Compostability is part of a
wider waste management
agenda that is likely to grow
in coming years, even if its
use is only beginning in the
$774 billion global apparel
manufacturing business.
Of course, its unlikely that
anyone who invests $500 in
a pair of designer shoes or
glasses would throw them
in the trash and even less
likely that such a rarefied
buyer would toss a luxury
item onto a compost pile.
But its great that high-end
designers are exploring these
ideas as their influence has
an impact on the collective
psyche of the design com-
munity, McIntosh said.
Thats certainly the case
with Stella McCartney, the
well-known vegetarian
designer whose shunning of
leather and fur created more
acceptance of synthetic
alternatives in high fashion.
McCartney is often credited
with turning faux furs and
leather handbags into a fash-
ion do when such materi-
als had long been consid-
ered too down-market. Now
designers including Calvin
Klein and Michael Kors regu-
larly work imitation furs into
their designs. And the idea
has trickled down to mass
retailers such as H&M and
Forever 21, where most of
the leather goods are, in
fact, pleather.
McCartneys partially bio-
degradable pumps, which
feature 4-inch heels and thick
white soles reminiscent of
gym sneakers, went on sale
in September. Only the soles,
made from plant-derived
plastic, are biodegradable.
But their inclusion reflects
McCartneys philosophy that
doing a little something is
really a lot better than doing
a lot of nothing.
Her new Stella lingerie line
incorporates recycled metal
hardware and organic cotton
gussets. All of her sunglasses
are now eco-friendly, made
with more than 50 percent
organic materials derived from
castor oil seeds and sugar.
Gucci began incorporating
more castor oil seed plastic
into its sunglasses in 2011.
This year, the company intro-
duced sunglasses made with
biodegradable frames and
plant-derived, bio-plastic bal-
lerina flats and sneakers.
Like Stella McCartneys
pumps, though, Guccis Liq-
uid Wood sunglasses and
California Green sneakers
arent entirely biodegrad-
able. Theyre made from a
mix of materials. Only the
soles of the low- and high-
top mens sneakers are made
from plant-based plastics
that decompose over time
without leaving chemicals
or other harmful substances
behind. As for the sunglasses,
the frames are made from
wood fiber and natural wax.
The metal joints are con-
structed with recycled metal,
which points to the difficul-
ties of making items that will
entirely decompose: Only
100 percent natural fash-
ions, such as cotton T-shirts
stitched with cotton thread,
can easily, and completely,
break down in combination
with heat, moisture and time.
Not everything can be made
so simply; indeed, consum-
ers have come to expect cer-
tain performance levels from
sophisticated fabrics, such
as cotton-spandex blends.
With textiles, you get mon-
strous hybrids, said Susanna
Schick, owner of Sustainable
Fashion L.A., an environmen-
tal consulting firm. Having
spandex in something makes
it much easier to wear, but if
you put spandex in cotton,
its a petroleum-based fiber
with an organic fiber, so the
cotton will decompose but
the spandex wont. Its a dif-
ficult situation.
Fashions that readily bio-
degrade may be better suited
for the most disposable,
least recyclable items in a
wardrobe, such as under-
garments, swimsuits or so-
called fast fashion, which is,
by its very nature, cheap and
disposable.
Almost 13 million tons of
textile waste are generated
annually, according to the
EPA. Of that, just 14 percent
of the textiles used in cloth-
ing and footwear is recov-
ered for reuse or recycling.
Statistics do not exist for
how much textile waste is
composted, but its probably
minuscule. Still, more design-
ers are seeing its potential
and not only at the high end.
Many small start-ups are also
experimenting.
The Dutch footwear com-
pany Oat has been mak-
ing entirely biodegradable
sneakers since 2011. Dizm
Eyewear, in Hermosa Beach,
began selling sunglasses
with biodegradable frames
this spring. Last year, fashion
and engineering students at
Sheffield Hallam University
in England jointly developed
a wedding dress knitted from
biodegradable polyvinyl alco-
hol thread thats designed to
dissolve into water without
releasing harmful chemi-
cals into the environment.
Another British designer,
Suzanne Lee, has experi-
mented with growing
fabric. She uses a bacterial
cellulose made from kom-
bucha, a fermented tea that
Lee grows into sheets that
can be molded into a seam-
less garment and buried in
the garden at the end of its
useful life.

By KIM ODE
Star Tribune
MINNEAPOLIS Linda
Warner disconnected the
land-line phone in her Min-
neapolis home. In South St.
Paul, Minn., Shirley Munz is
avoiding local or network TV
until after the election.
With less than four weeks
before Election Day, only this
much is certain: More ads,
more phone polls, more fli-
ers and more door-knockers
will result in more interrup-
tions, more shouting, more
litter and more intrusions
when all you want to do is
sip a glass of wine and actu-
ally finish the last chapter
before book club this month.
Is this how democracy is
supposed to feel?
How a campaign enters our
field of vision has moved far
beyond bumper stickers and
lawn signs. On Pinterest, doz-
ens of boards are devoted to
both Barack Obama and Mitt
Romney this on a website
more often about cool shoes
and hot hors doeuvres.
If you play online video
games, you might see
Obamas face on a billboard.
In 2008, he became the first
presidential candidate to
embed a political ad in an
online video game, in states
allowing early voting. This
year, the president may be
glimpsed on 18 online games
purchased by players in
swing states in an effort to
target males between ages
18 and 34.
Granted, some folks are
avid fans of the horse race.
They yearn to be polled, and
carefully parse each leaflets
claims. Their Facebook posts
always mean to illuminate,
even when they pontificate,
denigrate or agitate.
For others, though, the
horses cant cross the finish
line soon enough.
One factor in the campaign
fatigue simply may be how
long the candidates have
been on the stump. It can
seem like they started run-
ning for re-election as soon
as they were sworn into
office.
Hillary Robertson of St.
Paul wishes we had a six-
week election season instead
of a two-year one.
I mean, (an election) is
important, but it doesnt
need to be important for
two years, she said, add-
ing that she rather likes the
British system that enables
elections to be called when
warranted by Parliament. I
just love that they say, Elec-
tion in six weeks. Go!
I wish we could have a fed-
eral mandate that says no cam-
paigning until a certain point,
she said. It would never fly,
but its a lovely pipe dream.
How did elections come
to feel so onerous to some?
One reason is how easily
campaigns can reach us,
albeit with our invitation. We
answer the phone, turn on
the TV, log on to a computer,
follow our Twitter peeps.
Therein lies the issue: It
can feel as if our daily rou-
tines have been hijacked by
Vote for me. Or, as likely,
My opponent is an idiot.
Theres a great temptation to
lash out or simply check
out, which hardly feels like
engaged citizenship.
The challenge is how to
culturally cope, said Mark
Daniels, a counselor at
Genesys Counseling Minne-
apolis who often sees clients
stressed out by the modern
world. The first step may
be in recognizing how cam-
paigns work.
Everyone gets wrapped up
in whether this is Republican
or Democrat, and they dont
realize that both parties really
are about the same in what
theyre doing to us, Daniels
said. Theres class warfare
going on all over the place,
with political parties having a
vested interest in keeping vot-
ers at odds with one another.
Its causing an enormous
amount of stress among nor-
mal, everyday people who
are just trying to live their
lives in the midst of this con-
stant anger over everything,
he said.
A Facebook query ask-
ing how people cope with
campaign overload provided
some insight.
Avoiding network TV was a
common response, but cable
is hardly an oasis. There
may not be candidate ads,
but some story lines wear
their politics quite plainly on
their rolled-up sleeves. Some
praised caller ID, enabling
them to answer only familiar
numbers and avoid pollsters.
Robertson, an event plan-
ner, clicked the Hide option
on some Facebook friends
whose incessant political
posts became tiresome;
shell disinter them after the
election.

LIMA Failed levies and cuts to staff
and programming didnt stop Delphos
schools from not only maintaining its
rating on this years state report card but
jumping up to the top spot.
The district earned the highest designa-
tion, Excellent with Distinction, according
to preliminary report card data released
Wednesday. It is a first for the district,
which has had a tough few years. Super-
intendent Frank Sukup calls it a tribute to
the districts teaching staff.
I have to give a lot of credit to these
people, he said. They did not get down.
It could have been easy to say, Heck with
it, and, I dont care, but it just shows the
quality of people that we have in this sys-
tem.
The state released additional state report
card data, including school and district rat-
ings, Wednesday. The information comes
nearly two months later than usual.
Some information came out last month,
but ratings, Performance Index and atten-
dance rates were held as the state auditor
investigated allegations of data manipula-
tion by some districts. The investigation
continues, and the official report cards
wont be released until later. The investiga-
tion does not involve any local schools.
Twelve districts in the nine-county area
moved up a designation, while 12 dropped.
The rest maintained their designation.
The lowest rating went to Quest
Academy in Academic Emergency.
Lima schools dropped from Continuous
Improvement to Academic Watch, and
Upper Scioto Valley schools dropped from
Effective to Academic Watch.
The rating didnt surprise Lima schools
officials, who have been evaluating pre-
liminary data since the beginning of the
school year. Superintendent Jill Ackerman
said principals and staff are already break-
ing down data.
Everyone is under a tremendous
amount of pressure, but they need to be
and they recognize that they need to be,
she said.
Lima fell because it did not meet Ade-
quate Yearly Progress, which measures
success of pupil subgroups such as racial
minorities, special education and economi-
cally disadvantaged.
KEY CONCERNS
Many panelists talked about the uncer-
tainty of the reform itself, with the presiden-
tial election still undetermined, particularly
if Gov. Romney were to take
office and appeal the
legislation. Bob
Armstrong,CEO
of Lima Memo-
rial Health
System, along
with Kevin Hinkle, of
Anthem Blue Cross Blue
Shield, both expressed
concerns regarding the
individual mandate to be
implemented in 2014. The
idea is for everyone to have
health coverage by requiring
it. However, that may not
necessarily be the case if
people instead opt to pay the penalty (which
is smaller in the beginning) of not taking
insurance. While the reform will introduce
new solutions to health care, it may also
perpetuate problems, such as continually
rising premium costs.
LIMA A Lima man has died
from the West Nile virus, the
Allen County Health Department
reported.
David Kim Sunderhaus, 58,
died Saturday at Kindred Hospital
in Lima, surrounded by his family,
according to his obituary.
His death was reported
Wednesday to the Allen County
Health Department, which did
not release his name, and marks
Ohios sixth death attributed to
the virus.
We would like to extend our
condolences to the family and
friends of this individual, said
Kathy Luhn, Allen County health
commissioner.
Also on Wednesday, the Cen-
ters for Disease Control and Pre-
vention reported the number of
West Nile virus cases nationally
has reached 4,531, making 2012
the nations second-worst year on
record for the disease.
There were three individuals
in the county who were infected
with the virus in August, accord-
ing to officials at Septembers
Allen County Health Board meet-
ing.
Becky Dershem, Allen County
Health Department director of
nursing, said people were con-
tinuing to be hospitalized and in
critical condition at the Sept. 14
meeting.
The three cases she described
were a 40-year-old man who
thought he contracted the virus in
Allen County, a 56-year-old woman
who believed she was exposed to
the virus in Texas, and an 84-year-
old woman who thought she was
exposed in Allen County. All three
were hospitalized.
We do have reports of people
continuing to be hospitalized,
Dershem said, And some of them
are now in critical condition. So
just be aware.
The milder form of the mos-
quito-borne disease causes flu-
like symptoms and is rarely lethal,
but the neuroinvasive form is
much more severe.

LIMA More than 100 small-business own-
ers and professionals gathered at the City Club
in downtown Lima on Wednesday afternoon
to discuss how the health care reforms of the
Affordable Health Care Act would affect them.
Health care professionals also addressed their
concerns, good and bad, about the health care
reforms.
The primary purpose of the luncheon was for
local employers to understand what they need
to be doing right now with their employees,
particularly with W-2 forms, information about
small businesses that could be eligible for a
health care tax credit, and what else needs to
be filed to keep proper records. The event was
organized by the Lima/Allen County Chamber
of Commerce.
The panel included Kevin Hinkle, of Anthem
Blue Cross Blue Shield, Bob Armstrong, the
CEO of Lima Memorial Health System, John
Renner, vice president and chief financial offi-
cer at St. Ritas Health Partners, Connie Miller
and Becky Waggamon with Webb Insurance
Agency, and Randee Henson with Stolly Insur-
ance Group.
Electronic medical records are being
expanded during the next few years, providing
a central database for physicians all across the
country. But attendees were concerned about
the safety and confidentiality of medical files.
The challenge we all face is that so many
people have access to it, Armstrong said.
There are people that know how to hack into
those things.
We have the exact same standards that the

CINCINNATI College campuses have
become more than a backdrop for the presi-
dential campaign in Ohio as both sides are
vying to sway young voters to their side.
President Barack Obama continued his cam-
pus tour of Ohio on Wednesday with an evening
rally at Ohio University in southeastern Ohio. It
was the fifth Ohio college the Democratic presi-
dent has visited in less than a month.
Not to be outdone, GOP vice presidential
candidate Paul Ryan has made the rounds to
the states universities.
Ryan, a graduate of Miami University in
Oxford, spoke Wednesday at Baldwin Wallace
University near Cleveland, where he talked
about the growing debt and lack of jobs for
young people getting out of college. He blamed
Obama for both.
He gives us a growing debt and no solu-
tions, Ryan said.
Republican presidential nominee Mitt Rom-
ney and Ryan recently visited several Ohio
campuses. Last weekend, Romney had a rally
at Shawnee State University, while Ryan tail-
gated with Bowling Green State University
football fans and then spoke at Youngstown
State. Ryan, a Wisconsin congressman, made
his alma mater one of his first stops after being
named as Romneys running mate, and he also
visited with fans at the Miami-Ohio State foot-
ball game in Columbus soon afterward.
At Ohio University, Obama told the crowd he
has two daughters and doesnt want them to
be paid less for the same job as a man.
Student Paris Aaron said he is voting for
Obama because he wants to help give the pres-
ident a chance to finish what he has started.
I dont think starting all over again will
help out the country at all, said Aaron, 19, of
Columbus.
LIMA Hes spent his share of
time in the last two and a half years
driving the short distance to ham-
burger row, but now University of
Northwestern Ohio student Tyler
Wright has a better option.
For a small college, something
like this is very nice, Wright said
Wednesday from the schools new
food court, located inside the new
Student Commons. Students
sometimes complain that there are
not enough things to do. Having
something like this is sort of an
icon for this small campus.
UNOH and community officials
dedicated the new 55,000-square-
foot Student Commons on Wednes-
day. The building has been open
to students for just more than
a month. It came out of neces-
sity, President Jeffrey Jarvis said,
because of the schools growth.
This was necessary to enhance
our students academic and more
important social growth in the cen-
ter of the campus, he said.
The 400-seat food court is open to
the public and features items from
six different food stations, includ-
ing a grill, sandwich bar, salad bar
and complete hot meal bar. The
Student Commons is located off
Hartzler Road on campus.
A highlight of the building is the
Dr. Cheryl A. Mueller Library. Muel-
ler is vice president of academic
affairs/provost. The new library
LIMA After pleading guilty halfway through
his trial, a man who tried to shoot another man
to death spoke Wednesday of issues he said are
plaguing the black community.
View the big picture. This is all in refer-
ence to drugs and alcohol. Drugs, alcohol
and guns. My life is filled with drugs, guns
and alcohol, said Terry Felton after entering
his guilty plea in the Sept. 25, 2011, shooting
that wounded a Lima man.
Felton, 38, pleaded guilty to felonious
assault with a gun and aggravated robbery
with a gun after shooting Markese Davis.
Felton was sentenced to 10 years in prison.
Davis was shot four times in the body and
once in the head during a robbery prosecu-
tors said was over drugs. The shooting took
place inside a house at 607 Fairview Ave.
Felton said he is not the only person on the
south side of Lima with this experience.
We need to get it together as black people,
period, and thats all I have to say, he said.
Judge Jeffrey Reed seemed taken back by
Feltons remarks.

LIMA Eat healthy. Be

Activate Allen County initia-
tive that is working to improve
the health and wellness of
Allen County residents.
Its also going the slogan
thats going to be emblazoned
on the side of a donated
Allen County Regional Tran-
sit Authority bus thats being
transformed into a mobile
produce market as part of
the Activate Allen County
effort. The partners involved
unveiled the project Wednes-
day during Lima Mayor
David Bergers weekly news
briefing.
Its important to mention
what an innovative program
this is for a community this
size. As far as were aware, I
dont believe theres another
community our size that has
taken on a project like this,
Gary Bright, chief executive
officer of the West Ohio Food
Bank, said. The places were
looking at our places like Chi-
cago, Kansas City. I under-
stand there may be buses in
Columbus and in Cleveland.
For a community our size, I
think this is pretty new.
The concept is to take
fresh produce out to so-
called food deserts, places
that are underserved or not
served by a market that has
fresh produce or where the
population cant afford fresh
produce, Bright said. The

Woman falls off cycle,
driver flees scene
After a passenger fell off the back
of a motorcycle on Interstate 75 Tues-
day evening, the driver of the motor-
cycle took off, the Lima post of the
Ohio State Highway Patrol reported.
Terry King, 63, of Lima, was
northbound on I-75 near milepost
127, the state Route 81 exit, riding a
1984 Honda motorcycle, when Erin
M. Mulcahy, 31, of Lima, fell off the
back of his motorcycle around 8
p.m., patrol officials said.
She landed in the right lane of
northbound traffic on the interstate.
The vehicle behind Kings motor-
cycle swerved to miss Mulcahy and
struck the concrete median wall,
according to patrol officials.
Officials said King left the scene of
the crash. He was later arrested at
his home on Metcalf Street in Lima.
He is being charged with operating
a vehicle under the influence and
aggravated vehicular assault.
Mulcahy was taken to Lima
Memorial Health System by Bath
EMS, with serious injuries, patrol
officials said.
WAPAKONETA
Woman dies after
Monday I-75 crash
A Texas woman died after a
crash on Interstate 75 Monday just
south of Wapakoneta, the Wapako-
neta post of the Ohio State High-
way Patrol reported.
Lorraine Harrison, 62, of San
Antonio, was taken to Lima Memo-
rial Health System, where she died.
The crash happened near the U.S.
Route 33 exit at 11:15 a.m. Monday.
Susanne Borders, 47, of Wawaka,
Ind., was eastbound on Route
33 in a tractor-trailer when she
attempted to exit onto I-75.
Borders lost control on the exit
ramp and crossed both southbound
lanes of traffic, crossed the median
and crashed through the median
cable to enter the northbound
lanes of traffic, where she struck a
Lincoln MKS head-on, according to
patrol officials.
The Lincoln MKS was operated by
Randy Harrison, 64, of San Antonio.
He was also taken to Lima Memorial
Health System, where he underwent
emergency surgery Monday.
Borders was taken to St. Ritas
Medical Center. Lt. Scott Carrico of
the Wapakoneta post of the Ohio
State Highway Patrol said she was
talking to officers and alert at the
scene of the crash.

The Columbus Dispatch
MARYSVILLE It took
several hours preceded
by a scrapped plan to hold
the court hearing in a garage
but a man accused of
burning down a Union
County church in January
pleaded guilty Wednesday.
Stephen Beightler, 31, was
in Union County Common
Pleas court Wednesday for
a routine hearing to set a
date for his expected trial on
charges related to his burn-
ing of the New Horizons
Baptist Church. Instead, he
pleaded guilty to charges of
arson, vandalism and break-
ing and entering.
He waived a pre-sentence
investigation and Judge Don
Fraser sentenced him today
to three years in prison on
the vandalism charge and 17
months on an arson charge
to be served consecutively,
for a total of 53 months.
The breaking and entering
charge was not considered
because sentencing rules
wouldnt allow it.
In exchange for his
plea, prosecutors dropped
charges of receiving stolen
property and possession of
criminal tools.
Beightler, who grew up
in Union County, stole a
BMW from his roommate
in Philadelphia and drove
the car through the night to
Marysville, where he drove
through the doors of the
church on Paver Barnes
Road. Then he set the
building ablaze on Jan. 10.
He was arrested at the
scene, swinging on a swing
set and watching the fire
after he called 911 from a
cellphone. He had a dispos-
able lighter in his pocket
and gasoline on his clothes.
The church was destroyed,
at a loss topping $968,000,
but no one was injured.
Court officials were set
up Wednesday to hold
Beightlers hearing in the
garage connected to the
Union County Courthouse,
a first as far as anyone
could recall.
The extraordinary set-
ting was because when
Beightler was in court in
Champaign County in May
to answer to charges that
he assaulted a jail guard
and a police officer while
in custody on this case, he
urinated on the floor of the
holding cell.
The planned garage hear-
ing was only the latest tac-
tic used by court officials to
keep Beightler under con-
trol. At a hearing in Union
County in April, Beightler
was heavily shackled and
wore a mask to prevent him
from biting or spitting on
others. Several extra dep-
uty sheriffs were on hand,
and they wore protective
gloves, also an uncommon
courtroom practice.
He also had repeatedly
made in appropriate ges-
tures while in court and has
made inflammatory state-
ments toward prosecutors
and judges.

Fungal meningitis
update
The Ohio State Depart-
ment of Health has released
a list of 64 health care pro-
viders who purchased medi-
cations from New England
Compounding Center, linked
to spreading fungal meningi-
tis to hundreds of people in
the United States.
This list included two facil-
ities in the region: The Eye
Surgery Center of Western
Ohio, Lima, and the Findlay
Surgery Center, Findlay.
The Ohio Department of
Health is encouraging all
health care providers to fol-
low up with patients who
received any injectable prod-
ucts from the Massachusetts
facility.
Unlike bacterial or viral
meningitis, fungal meningitis
cannot be spread person
to person. Ohio has seven
cases of fungal meningitis
(no deaths), all linked to
back injections with ste-
roids distributed by NECC.
The case numbers for Ohio
could change as the Centers
for Disease Control and
Prevention adjusts its case
definition and Ohio further
evaluates each patient.
The list of all Ohio facili-
ties that carried products
from the NECC can be
found at http://j.mp/QtSyWH.
CINCINNATI
Man charged with
stabbing at bus stop
Police say a Cincinnati
man is in jail after alleg-

in what authorities say were
apparently random attacks
in southwest Ohio.
Cincinnati police said
in court documents that
Jerome Raven told them
he intended to kill 24-year-
old Tiara Metcalf and she
wouldnt hold still.
Police say Metcalf is
expected to recover.
Police say the 31-year-old
Raven allegedly stabbed
the woman at a downtown
bus stop Tuesday and was
arrested on charges of
attempted murder, felonious
assault and assault.

COLLEGE VOTE from B1
Breanna Williams, from Jackson,
said she also is supporting Obama.
Williams, 20, says she believes
he is really geared toward col-
lege students and that funding and
affordability of higher education are
among the top issues for her.
Exit polling in 2008 indicated
Obama won two-thirds of the vote
among college-age adults as he car-
ried Ohio, a state expected to be
close this year and possibly crucial
to winning the White House. Under-
scoring the importance of Ohio and
its college vote, Obama officially
kicked off his re-election campaign
in May at Ohio State University.
In a return visit to OSU last week,
Obama urged students to take buses
provided for them at the rally to
go to early voting locations, saying:
Everything we fought for in 2008 is
on the line in 2012.
But the Romney campaign thinks
it will make inroads with young
voters this year, and a campaign
official said it is well-organized on
campuses across the state.
We are making a huge push on
the campuses, said Scott Jennings,
Romneys state campaign director.
This is a different environment for
Obama than it was in 2008. The
economy is sputtering along, and
these college kids know they are
about to graduate into a world that
may not have a job for them.
Obama campaign officials say
they are well-positioned on cam-
puses. They say the president has
been getting enthusiastic crowds,
with students waiting for hours to
see and hear him.
University of Cincinnati student
body president Lane Hart recalled
that the campus excitement in 2008,
when Obama spoke at a huge UC
rally, was really palpable. But Hart,
who said he is impartial on the
presidential campaign, disputed that
students arent as interested in this
years race.
Hart, a 22-year-old Lewisburg
native who majors in information
systems and finance, pointed to an
enthusiastic, larger-than-expected
turnout Tuesday night at a campus
center to watch the second presi-
dential debate. Organizers were
kept busy adding hundreds of chairs
for arriving students, with more than
500 on hand by the time it started.
I would say more young people
are engaged, he said. I think every-
one here understands the impor-
tance of Ohio; and Cincinnati, Ham-
ilton County and the young vote. I
sense a feeling of duty and respon-
sibility.
First-year Ohio State student
Emily Rees of Chagrin Falls said
she has been pushing her fellow stu-
dents to vote, even if they disagree
with her support of Obama.
Im like: Listen, you need to vote.
Its your duty to your country. Obvi-
ously, I want the president to win.
Like, I dont care who you vote for,
but its your voice. You just need to
vote, she said.
Despite the ability to vote early,
shes going to wait until Nov. 6 to
cast her ballot for president for the
first time.
I just want to be caught up in the
election craziness, said Rees, 18,
dual-majoring in music education
and Russian.
Man pleads guilty in

Lancaster girl injured in fall
LANCASTER (MCT) An 11-year-old Lancaster girl is
hospitalized at Nationwide Childrens Hospital in Colum-
bus after she fell 40 feet from Mount Pleasant Tuesday and
landed in a tree.
Lancaster police said they were told Wednesday that Eliza-
beth Fuller is in critical condition.
The girl suffered a broken leg and arm, and head trauma,
according to the police incident report.
The girl slipped and fell from the Devils Kitchen area of
Mount Pleasant at about 6 p.m. Tuesday. A friend with her
called 911.
Medics could not find Elizabeth immediately. Two police
officers then scaled down 40 feet from the summit and found
the girl tangled in a tree. The officers placed a neck brace on
her, and lowered her about 10 feet down from the tree to the
waiting medics.
LIMA Failed levies and cuts to staff
and programming didnt stop Delphos
schools from not only maintaining its
rating on this years state report card but
jumping up to the top spot.
The district earned the highest designa-
tion, Excellent with Distinction, according
to preliminary report card data released
Wednesday. It is a first for the district,
which has had a tough few years. Super-
intendent Frank Sukup calls it a tribute to
the districts teaching staff.
I have to give a lot of credit to these
people, he said. They did not get down.
It could have been easy to say, Heck with
it, and, I dont care, but it just shows the
quality of people that we have in this sys-
tem.
The state released additional state report
card data, including school and district rat-
ings, Wednesday. The information comes
nearly two months later than usual.
Some information came out last month,
but ratings, Performance Index and atten-
dance rates were held as the state auditor
investigated allegations of data manipula-
tion by some districts. The investigation
continues, and the official report cards
wont be released until later. The investiga-
tion does not involve any local schools.
Twelve districts in the nine-county area
moved up a designation, while 12 dropped.
The rest maintained their designation.
The lowest rating went to Quest
Academy in Academic Emergency.
Lima schools dropped from Continuous
Improvement to Academic Watch, and
Upper Scioto Valley schools dropped from
Effective to Academic Watch.
The rating didnt surprise Lima schools
officials, who have been evaluating pre-
liminary data since the beginning of the
school year. Superintendent Jill Ackerman
said principals and staff are already break-
ing down data.
Everyone is under a tremendous
amount of pressure, but they need to be
and they recognize that they need to be,
she said.
Lima fell because it did not meet Ade-
quate Yearly Progress, which measures
success of pupil subgroups such as racial
minorities, special education and economi-
cally disadvantaged.
KEY CONCERNS
Many panelists talked about the uncer-
tainty of the reform itself, with the presiden-
tial election still undetermined, particularly
if Gov. Romney were to take
office and appeal the
legislation. Bob
Armstrong,CEO
of Lima Memo-
rial Health
System, along
with Kevin Hinkle, of
Anthem Blue Cross Blue
Shield, both expressed
concerns regarding the
individual mandate to be
implemented in 2014. The
idea is for everyone to have
health coverage by requiring
it. However, that may not
necessarily be the case if
people instead opt to pay the penalty (which
is smaller in the beginning) of not taking
insurance. While the reform will introduce
new solutions to health care, it may also
perpetuate problems, such as continually
rising premium costs.
LIMA A Lima man has died
from the West Nile virus, the
Allen County Health Department
reported.
David Kim Sunderhaus, 58,
died Saturday at Kindred Hospital
in Lima, surrounded by his family,
according to his obituary.
His death was reported
Wednesday to the Allen County
Health Department, which did
not release his name, and marks
Ohios sixth death attributed to
the virus.
We would like to extend our
condolences to the family and
friends of this individual, said
Kathy Luhn, Allen County health
commissioner.
Also on Wednesday, the Cen-
ters for Disease Control and Pre-
vention reported the number of
West Nile virus cases nationally
has reached 4,531, making 2012
the nations second-worst year on
record for the disease.
There were three individuals
in the county who were infected
with the virus in August, accord-
ing to officials at Septembers
Allen County Health Board meet-
ing.
Becky Dershem, Allen County
Health Department director of
nursing, said people were con-
tinuing to be hospitalized and in
critical condition at the Sept. 14
meeting.
The three cases she described
were a 40-year-old man who
thought he contracted the virus in
Allen County, a 56-year-old woman
who believed she was exposed to
the virus in Texas, and an 84-year-
old woman who thought she was
exposed in Allen County. All three
were hospitalized.
We do have reports of people
continuing to be hospitalized,
Dershem said, And some of them
are now in critical condition. So
just be aware.
The milder form of the mos-
quito-borne disease causes flu-
like symptoms and is rarely lethal,
but the neuroinvasive form is
much more severe.

LIMA More than 100 small-business own-
ers and professionals gathered at the City Club
in downtown Lima on Wednesday afternoon
to discuss how the health care reforms of the
Affordable Health Care Act would affect them.
Health care professionals also addressed their
concerns, good and bad, about the health care
reforms.
The primary purpose of the luncheon was for
local employers to understand what they need
to be doing right now with their employees,
particularly with W-2 forms, information about
small businesses that could be eligible for a
health care tax credit, and what else needs to
be filed to keep proper records. The event was
organized by the Lima/Allen County Chamber
of Commerce.
The panel included Kevin Hinkle, of Anthem
Blue Cross Blue Shield, Bob Armstrong, the
CEO of Lima Memorial Health System, John
Renner, vice president and chief financial offi-
cer at St. Ritas Health Partners, Connie Miller
and Becky Waggamon with Webb Insurance
Agency, and Randee Henson with Stolly Insur-
ance Group.
Electronic medical records are being
expanded during the next few years, providing
a central database for physicians all across the
country. But attendees were concerned about
the safety and confidentiality of medical files.

people have access to it, Armstrong said.
There are people that know how to hack into
those things.

CINCINNATI College campuses have
become more than a backdrop for the presi-
dential campaign in Ohio as both sides are
vying to sway young voters to their side.
President Barack Obama continued his cam-
pus tour of Ohio on Wednesday with an evening
rally at Ohio University in southeastern Ohio. It
was the fifth Ohio college the Democratic presi-
dent has visited in less than a month.
Not to be outdone, GOP vice presidential
candidate Paul Ryan has made the rounds to
the states universities.
Ryan, a graduate of Miami University in
Oxford, spoke Wednesday at Baldwin Wallace
University near Cleveland, where he talked
about the growing debt and lack of jobs for
young people getting out of college. He blamed
Obama for both.
He gives us a growing debt and no solu-
tions, Ryan said.
Republican presidential nominee Mitt Rom-
ney and Ryan recently visited several Ohio
campuses. Last weekend, Romney had a rally
at Shawnee State University, while Ryan tail-
gated with Bowling Green State University
football fans and then spoke at Youngstown
State. Ryan, a Wisconsin congressman, made
his alma mater one of his first stops after being
named as Romneys running mate, and he also
visited with fans at the Miami-Ohio State foot-
ball game in Columbus soon afterward.
At Ohio University, Obama told the crowd he
has two daughters and doesnt want them to
be paid less for the same job as a man.
Student Paris Aaron said he is voting for
Obama because he wants to help give the pres-
ident a chance to finish what he has started.
I dont think starting all over again will
help out the country at all, said Aaron, 19, of
Columbus.
LIMA Hes spent his share of
time in the last two and a half years
driving the short distance to ham-
burger row, but now University of
Northwestern Ohio student Tyler
Wright has a better option.
For a small college, something
like this is very nice, Wright said
Wednesday from the schools new
food court, located inside the new
Student Commons. Students
sometimes complain that there are
not enough things to do. Having
something like this is sort of an
icon for this small campus.
UNOH and community officials
dedicated the new 55,000-square-
foot Student Commons on Wednes-
day. The building has been open
to students for just more than
a month. It came out of neces-
sity, President Jeffrey Jarvis said,
because of the schools growth.
This was necessary to enhance
our students academic and more
important social growth in the cen-
ter of the campus, he said.
The 400-seat food court is open to
the public and features items from
six different food stations, includ-
ing a grill, sandwich bar, salad bar
and complete hot meal bar. The
Student Commons is located off
Hartzler Road on campus.
A highlight of the building is the
Dr. Cheryl A. Mueller Library. Muel-
ler is vice president of academic
affairs/provost. The new library
LIMA After pleading guilty halfway through
his trial, a man who tried to shoot another man
to death spoke Wednesday of issues he said are
plaguing the black community.
View the big picture. This is all in refer-
ence to drugs and alcohol. Drugs, alcohol
and guns. My life is filled with drugs, guns
and alcohol, said Terry Felton after entering
his guilty plea in the Sept. 25, 2011, shooting
that wounded a Lima man.
Felton, 38, pleaded guilty to felonious
assault with a gun and aggravated robbery
with a gun after shooting Markese Davis.
Felton was sentenced to 10 years in prison.
Davis was shot four times in the body and
once in the head during a robbery prosecu-
tors said was over drugs. The shooting took
place inside a house at 607 Fairview Ave.
Felton said he is not the only person on the
south side of Lima with this experience.
We need to get it together as black people,
period, and thats all I have to say, he said.
Judge Jeffrey Reed seemed taken back by
Feltons remarks.

Woman falls off cycle,
driver flees scene
After a passenger fell off the back
of a motorcycle on Interstate 75 Tues-
day evening, the driver of the motor-
cycle took off, the Lima post of the
Ohio State Highway Patrol reported.
Terry King, 63, of Lima, was
northbound on I-75 near milepost
127, the state Route 81 exit, riding a
1984 Honda motorcycle, when Erin
M. Mulcahy, 31, of Lima, fell off the
back of his motorcycle around 8

The Columbus Dispatch
MARYSVILLE It took
several hours preceded
by a scrapped plan to hold
the court hearing in a garage
but a man accused of
burning down a Union
County church in January
pleaded guilty Wednesday.
Stephen Beightler, 31, was
in Union County Common
Pleas court Wednesday for
a routine hearing to set a
date for his expected trial on
charges related to his burn-
ing of the New Horizons
Baptist Church. Instead, he
pleaded guilty to charges of
arson, vandalism and break-
ing and entering.
He waived a pre-sentence
investigation and Judge Don
Fraser sentenced him today
to three years in prison on
the vandalism charge and 17
months on an arson charge
to be served consecutively,
for a total of 53 months.
The breaking and entering
charge was not considered
because sentencing rules
wouldnt allow it.
In exchange for his
plea, prosecutors dropped
charges of receiving stolen
property and possession of
criminal tools.
Beightler, who grew up
in Union County, stole a
BMW from his roommate
in Philadelphia and drove
the car through the night to
Marysville, where he drove
through the doors of the
church on Paver Barnes
Road. Then he set the
building ablaze on Jan. 10.
He was arrested at the
scene, swinging on a swing
set and watching the fire
after he called 911 from a
cellphone. He had a dispos-
able lighter in his pocket
and gasoline on his clothes.
The church was destroyed,
at a loss topping $968,000,
but no one was injured.
Court officials were set
up Wednesday to hold
Beightlers hearing in the
garage connected to the
Union County Courthouse,
a first as far as anyone
could recall.
The extraordinary set-
ting was because when
Beightler was in court in
Champaign County in May
to answer to charges that
he assaulted a jail guard
and a police officer while
in custody on this case, he
urinated on the floor of the
holding cell.
The planned garage hear-
ing was only the latest tac-
tic used by court officials to
keep Beightler under con-
trol. At a hearing in Union
County in April, Beightler
was heavily shackled and
wore a mask to prevent him
from biting or spitting on
others. Several extra dep-
uty sheriffs were on hand,
and they wore protective
gloves, also an uncommon
courtroom practice.
He also had repeatedly
made in appropriate ges-
tures while in court and has
made inflammatory state-
ments toward prosecutors
and judges.

Fungal meningitis
update
The Ohio State Depart-
ment of Health has released
a list of 64 health care pro-
viders who purchased medi-
cations from New England
Compounding Center, linked
to spreading fungal meningi-
tis to hundreds of people in
the United States.
This list included two facil-
ities in the region: The Eye
Surgery Center of Western
Ohio, Lima, and the Findlay
Surgery Center, Findlay.
The Ohio Department of
Health is encouraging all
health care providers to fol-
low up with patients who
received any injectable prod-
ucts from the Massachusetts
facility.
Unlike bacterial or viral
meningitis, fungal meningitis
cannot be spread person
to person. Ohio has seven
cases of fungal meningitis
(no deaths), all linked to
back injections with ste-
roids distributed by NECC.
The case numbers for Ohio
could change as the Centers
for Disease Control and
Prevention adjusts its case
definition and Ohio further
evaluates each patient.
The list of all Ohio facili-
ties that carried products
from the NECC can be
found at http://j.mp/QtSyWH.
CINCINNATI
Man charged with
stabbing at bus stop
Police say a Cincinnati
man is in jail after alleg-

in what authorities say were
apparently random attacks
in southwest Ohio.
Cincinnati police said
in court documents that
Jerome Raven told them
he intended to kill 24-year-
old Tiara Metcalf and she
wouldnt hold still.
Police say Metcalf is
expected to recover.
Police say the 31-year-old
Raven allegedly stabbed
the woman at a downtown
bus stop Tuesday and was
arrested on charges of
attempted murder, felonious
assault and assault.

Police also expect today
to question the 41-year-old
womans four children, who
are now staying with an
aunt, according to Warren

bedridden for about two
years and that she had a bro-
ken hip.

COLLEGE VOTE from B1
Breanna Williams, from Jackson,
said she also is supporting Obama.
Williams, 20, says she believes
he is really geared toward col-
lege students and that funding and
affordability of higher education are
among the top issues for her.
Exit polling in 2008 indicated
Obama won two-thirds of the vote
among college-age adults as he car-
ried Ohio, a state expected to be
close this year and possibly crucial
to winning the White House. Under-
scoring the importance of Ohio and
its college vote, Obama officially
kicked off his re-election campaign
in May at Ohio State University.
In a return visit to OSU last week,
Obama urged students to take buses
provided for them at the rally to
go to early voting locations, saying:
Everything we fought for in 2008 is
on the line in 2012.
But the Romney campaign thinks
it will make inroads with young
voters this year, and a campaign
official said it is well-organized on
campuses across the state.
We are making a huge push on
the campuses, said Scott Jennings,
Romneys state campaign director.
This is a different environment for
Obama than it was in 2008. The
economy is sputtering along, and
these college kids know they are
about to graduate into a world that
may not have a job for them.
Obama campaign officials say
they are well-positioned on cam-
puses. They say the president has
been getting enthusiastic crowds,
with students waiting for hours to
see and hear him.
University of Cincinnati student
body president Lane Hart recalled
that the campus excitement in 2008,
when Obama spoke at a huge UC
rally, was really palpable. But Hart,
who said he is impartial on the
presidential campaign, disputed that
students arent as interested in this
years race.
Hart, a 22-year-old Lewisburg
native who majors in information
systems and finance, pointed to an
enthusiastic, larger-than-expected
turnout Tuesday night at a campus
center to watch the second presi-
dential debate. Organizers were
kept busy adding hundreds of chairs
for arriving students, with more than
500 on hand by the time it started.
I would say more young people
are engaged, he said. I think every-
one here understands the impor-
tance of Ohio; and Cincinnati, Ham-
ilton County and the young vote. I
sense a feeling of duty and respon-
sibility.
First-year Ohio State student
Emily Rees of Chagrin Falls said
she has been pushing her fellow stu-
dents to vote, even if they disagree
with her support of Obama.
Im like: Listen, you need to vote.
Its your duty to your country. Obvi-
ously, I want the president to win.
Like, I dont care who you vote for,
but its your voice. You just need to
vote, she said.
Despite the ability to vote early,
shes going to wait until Nov. 6 to
cast her ballot for president for the
first time.
I just want to be caught up in the
election craziness, said Rees, 18,
dual-majoring in music education
and Russian.
Man pleads guilty in
Marysville church arson
Lancaster girl injured in fall
LANCASTER (MCT) An 11-year-old Lancaster girl is
hospitalized at Nationwide Childrens Hospital in Colum-
bus after she fell 40 feet from Mount Pleasant Tuesday and
landed in a tree.
Lancaster police said they were told Wednesday that Eliza-
beth Fuller is in critical condition.
The girl suffered a broken leg and arm, and head trauma,
according to the police incident report.
The girl slipped and fell from the Devils Kitchen area of
Mount Pleasant at about 6 p.m. Tuesday. A friend with her
called 911.
Medics could not find Elizabeth immediately. Two police
officers then scaled down 40 feet from the summit and found
the girl tangled in a tree. The officers placed a neck brace on
her, and lowered her about 10 feet down from the tree to the
waiting medics.
