50 daily www.delphosherald.com BY STEPHANIE GROVES Staff Writer sgroves@delphosherald.com DELPHOS According to the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (AAFPRS), in the United States, a woman is beaten every nine seconds by an intimate or former partner and over 75 percent of women who are in an abusive relationship receive a battering to the face and head area. In Allen County, the number of responses by the Sheriffs Department to Domestic Violence Incidents (DVI) since the beginning of 2013 stands at 144. With each of those, a Domestic Violence or Protection Order or Consent Agreement Violations charge were filed by a reporting agency. Delphos Police Chief Kyle Fittro said 2013 is on track to exceed last years statistics. In 2012, police were dispatched to 120 domestic violence calls, where 58 of those were written reports which resulted in 22

arrests. Since January, Delphos police have been dispatched to 100 calls and written 35 reports which resulted in 17 arrests. It is the only crime that police need nearly no evidence to make an arrest, Fittro detailed. We ultimately have the discretion and with good, sound judgement, officers determine if the situation does not sound right and whether he or she did it. Fittro said on the surface its great but there are some who know the system and use it to their advantage. He also stated that since females are more inclined to sign a complaint, males who decline to sign cannot dispute the claim. Maybe a male punches a female and splits her lip after she scratched and clawed him and both are equally banged up, Fittro painted a scenario. He, the male, holds some sense of chivalry and does not want to see the female in jail. See DOMESTIC, page 10

Judge upholds decision to suppress Fay statements

BY NANCY KLINE DHI Correspondent news@delphosherald.com OTTAWA Putnam County Common Pleas Judge Randall Basinger has denied a request to overturn his decision to suppress statements made by Michael Fay on May 10. Judge Basinger rejected Putnam County Assistant Prosecutor Todd Schroeders request to allow comments made by Fay on May 10 to be used as evidence. The judge previously allowed statements from Fays May 9 interrogation to be used at trial. During the suppression hearing, Judge Basinger ruled the statements made on May 10 cannot be used as evidence in the trial. On May 9, Fay was informed of his Miranda rights and signed a written waiver before talking to police, Basinger wrote. On May 10, during another interview law enforcement had with Fay, he was asked if he still understood his rights. Fay said he did and the interview began. Basinger indicated in his ruling that a full reading of the rights to remain silent and to legal representation is required prior to each interview. It was indicated that less than 24 hours had passed since the Miranda rights had been initially stated to the defendant, who was a minor at the time. See FAY, page 10

Jennings seniors present The Rest-In-Peace Retirement Home

Staff reports Under the direction of music teacher Rose Mary Warnecke, Fort Jennings Senior Class of 2014 will present The RestIn-Peace Retirement Home, a satire of the old and feisty. Its pretty deadly at the Old Folks Home until Larry wins the lottery. Or at least thats the way the women hear it. They need a good sense of rumor to keep life interesting when theyre not searching for their teeth. The old ladies flirt with old farts, are insulted, then whomp the grumps with their canes. These old cronies can barely walk, hear or remember what they do. Teen players have fun portraying the crotchety actions, voices, expressions and the freedom to be someone else. This version of The Old Folks has funny situations and hilarious one-liners. Senior cast members are Garrett Berelsman, Spencer Dray, Ashley Gable, Marisa Good, Emily Grone, Cassie Horstman, Emily Kehres, Kelsey Klausing, Lucas Luebrecht, Min Metcalfe, Kaylynn Noriega, Ryan Rau, Andrea Ricker, Nicole Ricker, Jamie Saum, Alyssa Schimmoeller, Logan Sickels, Craig Stewart, Alex Vetter and Josh Wittler. Stage crew members are Nathan German, Jared Hoersten and Alex Ketcham. Both performance are at 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday in the Auditeria. Pre-sale tickets are $5 for adults and $4 for students Pictured from the left is Larry, played by Craig Stewart; Tom, played by Logan and will be available in the High School Office from 8 a.m. to Sickels; and Harry, played by Alex Vetter, discussing lottery winnings while playing 1 p.m. through Friday. All tickets at the door will be $5. checkers. (Delphos Herald/Stephanie Groves)

STATE/LOCAL Marsh unveils advertising campaign Tearful WWII veteran turned in effort to recruit foster families away from Ohio museum
Information submitted VAN WERT This fall, The Marsh Foundation is making a concerted effort to grow its Foster Care Program by recruiting more foster families. Throughout the state of Ohio, there are more than 22,000 children in the foster care system. Last year, The Marsh alone, turned away more than 100 kids because of a lack of placement options. In an effort to serve more children, The Marsh Foundation has developed an advertising campaign to attract more families that can help care for these children. A video and television commercial are currently being viewed on area cable networks. The videos can also be viewed on The Marsh website athttp://marshfoundation. org/about-us/video/. In addition, billboards have been developed to draw attention to the fact that many children dont have parents to help them make normal, lasting childhood memories. Foster parenting is filled with opportunities to care for children who can greatly benefit from the love and support of a family. We are looking for people who can be good parents, not perfect parents, but DAYTON (AP) An 88-year-old veteran who traveled to Ohio from New York to see the plane he flew in during World War II has been turned away because of the partial federal government shutdown. The Dayton Daily News reports Joe McGrain of Rochester, N.Y., went to the National Museum of the United States Air Force on Tuesday to see the B-26 he flew in as a bombardier and navigator in Europe. He also wanted to show the aircraft to his wife and two sons, who came from New Orleans and Washington for the trip. But with museum staff on furlough because of the shutdown, the McGrains were turned away. It never occurred to me that it would be shut down, he said, adding that he was extremely disappointed as he held back tears. I wanted to show them a little bit about Air Force history while Im still around to do it. My husband served in the service all those years and to come this distance and to have this happen . just is a shame; terrible shame, said his wife, Toni McGrain. All but three of 95 civilian museum staffers went on unpaid leave Tuesday, with three remaining for security purposes at the home of vintage military aircraft and other items from Air Force history. The museum drew some 1 million visitors last year, and is a popular site for veterans reunions.

You may see The Marsh Foundation billboards in the tri-county area. (Photo submitted) good parents who are willing to share their home and family with a child in need, said Kim Mullins, executive director of Child and Family Services at The Marsh. If you are interested in learning more about the opportunities to foster, visit http://marshfoundation.org/ helpkids. By visiting the website, you can learn more about the basic requirements and the many rewarding benefits to fostering. If you know someone who is willing to consider sharing their home and family with a foster child, please encourage them to call or visit our web site. We would very much like to answer questions or chat with anyone interested, said Mullins.

Rally pushes abortion rights, womens health

COLUMBUS (AP) With her two-week-old son in hand, Cleveland gynecologist Lisa Perriera told demonstrators at the Ohio Statehouse on Wednesday that new laws limiting access to abortions and other womens health care are creating unnecessary hurdles for her patients. Perriera said that because of the laws she recently had to require a couple forced to end a pregnancy for medical reasons to listen to the fetal heartbeat and undergo an ultrasound to determine the pregnancys viability before sending them out of state for a legal late-term abortion. Im here today to speak in opposition to the continuous assault on comprehensive reproductive health care by our state elected officials and to demand that Ohio politicians get out of my exam room, Perriera told the crowd of several hundred at the We Wont Go Back rally.

Grants available for teachers to develop WILD School Sites

Information submitted COLUMBUS The Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) now has grants available for Ohio teachers who have successfully used Project WILD in their classrooms. These funds will allow teachers more opportunities to provide students with hands-on learning about wildlife and habitat. Grants totaling $500 each will be awarded by the ODNR Division of Wildlife on a competitive basis to 40 schools that have participated in Project WILD, a supplemental environmental education curriculum for grades K-12. A WILD School Site project allows teachers to bring conservation education concepts to life for students by taking lesson plans outdoors, said Jen Dennison, wildlife education coordinator for the ODNR Division of Wildlife. It also improves schoolyard habitat for wildlife while providing an outdoor learning experience. Project WILD uses wildlife and wildlife management techniques to teach traditional school subjects, such as math, science and language arts. Now in its 10th year, the grant program provides teachers with funding to purchase the materials, equipment and activities needed to develop WILD School Sites on their campuses. The grants are awarded to applicants who best meet the WILD School Site criteria. Criteria includes participation in one of Ohios Project WILD programs, direct improvement of the habitat on the school grounds, involvement of the students in the projects as much as possible and correlation of the projects to the schools curriculum. Funding for the WILD School Site grant program comes from the sale of Ohio hunting and fishing licenses. Ohio has 133 certified Wild School Sites around the state. The ODNR Division of Wildlife has awarded 232 grants since 2004, when the grant program was introduced. Interested educators should submit an application anytime between now and May 31, 2014, to the ODNR Division of Wildlife, Outdoor Education Section, 2045 Morse Road, Building G, Columbus, Ohio 43229. Complete details of the grant program and an application packet can be found at ohioprojectwild.com. Go to wildohio.com or call 800-WILDLIFE (945-3543) for more information.

unions and elsewhere hoped the rally would draw the attention of Republican Gov. John Kasich and GOP lawmakers who control both chambers of the Legislature and favor restrictions on abortion. Demonstrators waved signs attacking Kasich and other male leaders for effectively defunding Planned Parenthood and passing abortion-related restrictions on Ohios publicly funded hospitals and on counselors at taxpayer-funded rape crisis centers. The president of Ohio Right to Life predicted the event would do little to sway opinions on abortion. Its a political stunt. Its nothing more than a charade, Mike Gonidakis said. It wont move the needle at all in the state. Gonidakis said Ohio has a history of preventing public money from being spent on abortions and of enacting tough laws against the procedure, including a late-term abortion ban.

New noxious weed emerges in Ohio

BY JAMES J. HOORMAN Ag Educator OSU-Extension Putnam County A new noxious weed has emerged in Ohio called Palmer amaranth. Palmer amaranth looks like many pigweed species and can reach a height of 6-8-feet tall and is extremely competitive and aggressive. Sprague, 2011 at Michigan State reports: Palmer amaranth has a rapid growth rate (up to 2.5 inches per day), high drought tolerance, and high seed production (40,000 seeds per plant), has the ability to cross-pollinate with other pigweed species and it has developed herbicide resistance (Roundup and/or ALS). Palmer amaranth has smooth stems and leaves with no hairs that help to distinguish it from redroot pigweed, smooth pigweed and Powell amaranth. OSU Weed Scientist Dr. Mark Loux (CORN Newsletter) writes: The epicenter for new Palmer amaranth infestations is in an area southwest of Columbus, bordered roughly by Midway on the north and Washington CH on the south. There is a dairy in the area that has been using cottonseed products for protein feed from the south, so try to avoid importing cottonseed. If you farm in this area, be sure to take some time to scout fields and roadsides now for Palmer amaranth and take appropriate action as necessary. Palmer amaranth is a prohibited noxious weed in Ohio. The Palmer amaranth plants found so far do not appear to have formed mature seed yet, which would be indicated by the presence of small black seeds. The residual from pre-emergence herbicides may have prevented the early flushes of Palmer amaranth and later-emerging plants are still reaching maturity. This means that there is still time to dig up or chop down plants and ideally, also remove them from the field. The weed control strategy changes from plant removal to isolation and remediation

USDA Grant to develop Youth Farm Safety curriculum

Information submitted MINNEAPOLIS The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) recently announced funding to provide safety training for the more than 2 million youth working in agricultural production. Working on the farm or ranch is hard work, and it can also be dangerous, said USDA Secretary Tom Vilsack. By working together, we can be sure that young people in rural America have the opportunity to reap the many benefits of helping out on the farm, while also staying safe. Todays grant announcement expands our ongoing farm safety partnership and will help further educate and protect young workers who represent the future of American agriculture. USDA Deputy Under Secretary for Research, Education and Economics Ann Bartuska made the announcement at the North American Agricultural Safety Summit in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Dr. Bartuska noted Agriculture is one of the most dangerous industries in the nation, as such, thousands of youth are injured and hundreds are killed every year by hazards found on the farm. She continued, As these youth play a vital role in the productivity of American agriculture, USDA has a responsibility to the education and resources needed to train youth in safe farming practices. USDAs National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) awarded $600,000 to Pennsylvania State University to develop a national training curriculum that lessens agricultural hazards to young workers. The training will align with Career Cluster Standards (CCS) of the National Council for Agricultural Education for a unified approach to a national farm safety education and curricula-certification program for youth. The project will establish a national steering committee to engage the Department of Education, Department of Labor, FFA, Farm Bureau, Farmers Union, Ag Safety and Health Council of America, National Council for Ag Education and other relevant partners. The committee will work to identify curriculum and testing gaps, certification needs and industry-recognized credentials. Curriculum materials will be placed on the extension website in the new Ag Safety and Health Community of Practice to be used in both formal and non-formal settings. A national outreach strategy will promote use of the curriculum from youth and farm safety instructors to parents and 4-H youth programs. Additionally, the project will determine the resources required to sustain a clearinghouse for national youth farm safety and education curriculum, state certification requirements and testing. NIFA made the award through the Youth Farm Safety Education and Certification (YFSEC) Program, which was established in 2001. Agricultural education is an important part of an individuals career and technical education. As such, it needs to provide instruction that leads to industry-recognized credentials. In addition, vocational agricultural program curricula need to be aligned with current career standards and curricula that integrate agricultural safety and health. Through federal funding and leadership for research, education and extension programs, NIFA focuses on investing in science and solving critical issues impacting peoples daily lives and the nations future. More information is available at: www.nifa.usda.gov.

Palmer amaranth of infestations once mature seed has formed. The OSU weed science website (agcrops.osu.edu/ specialists/weeds) has information on Palmer amaranth, including a short video on identification and a new 11-minute video that explains the risk from this weed. Similar information can be found on the Purdue weed science website. If you find plants that you believe to be Palmer amaranth, contact Dr. Mark Loux or the Extension office to confirm identification and to manage new infestations. The following was taken from a University of Florida fact sheet (SS-AGR-338) by Ferrell and Leon (2011). All populations of this weed are not resistant to commonlyused herbicides but some populations are resistant. Since resistant pollen and seed moves so easily by wind and farm machinery, it is important to consider all Palmer amaranth populations to be resistant until proven otherwise. Some Palmer amaranth herbicide control programs in corn and soybeans can effectively manage this weedy pest but a program approach is essential to success. This means that simply adopting Liberty Link technology, for example, is not sufficient by itself. The technology must be used in combination with a well-planned burndown, preemergence, post-emergence program. Targeting large weeds, regardless of herbicide resistance, can easily lead to lack of control and lost crop productivity, so time post-emergence applications to small (13 inch) weeds. Although some atrazineresistant populations have been found, atrazine resistance is not as widespread as ALS resistance (acetolactate synthase inhibitor, Pursuit, Scepter etc.) or glyphosate resistance. So control is possible in corn production with atrazine as the key component to a Palmer amaranth control strategy. Atrazine can be applied at a maximum rate of 2.5 pounds active ingredient (ai)/A/yr if applied at two timings. No single application of atrazine can exceed 2 pounds ai/A. If possible, soybeans should be planted in narrow rows (7.5 to 15 inches). Narrow-row spacing allows shading of the soil surface to occur faster and helps prevent Palmer amaranth seed germination. There are many ways to manage herbicide-resistant Palmer amaranth, however; the key to being successful with Palmer amaranth is to develop a diverse program approach. Having a plan prior to planting that incorporates many herbicides or other techniques to control Palmer amaranth will give the crop producer the best opportunity to maximize production and minimize Palmer amaranth interference. In roundup ready (RR) soybeans, 2-4D plus Treflan or Prowl preplant plus Valor, Canopy, or Authority pre-emergence plus Dual Magnum, Cora, or Relfex post-emergence is required. In Liberty Link soybeans, a similar program can be followed with Liberty Link as the post-emergence herbicide. Do not let this weed go to seed because controlling Palmer amaranth is expensive and time consuming. In places in the south, the weed is so dense they have to use machetes to cut it down or the field is abandoned.

Water cleaning site helps address Ohio lake algae

MONTEZUMA (AP) A man-made wetland that mixes engineering and natural filtering of water headed to Ohios largest inland lake is helping to reduce chemicals that contributed to the lakes toxic algae problem, according to state and local officials who hope to replicate the system on other creeks that feed Grand Lake St. Marys. In the so-called treatment train, water from Prairie Creek is treated with alum and sent through farmland thats been repurposed as wetlands to naturally filter the flow before it reaches the lake. Different types of plants, organisms and rock barriers aid the filtering process, The Lima News reported. Grand Lake restoration manager Milt Miller said the system cleans more than a million gallons of water daily. It shows you the power of Mother Nature when we give it some help, Miller told the newspaper. The beauty of these wetlands are they are long-term strategies and long-term benefits.

Officials hope to replicate the system on five more creeks around the western Ohio lake. The project cost $1.9 million covered by federal, state and local funds and the two-year state budget provides $2.1 million for one more treatment train in the lakes watershed, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources. Officials also have farm outreach and other tactics, such as dredging the lake bottom, to combat the algae and reduce levels of the phosphorus that feeds the type of toxic blooms that plagued the lake in recent years and hampered tourism. Phosphorus from farm fertilizers and livestock manure ends up in runoff and is blamed for feeding algae blooms at Grand Lake and others, including Lake Erie. Officials acknowledge Grand Lake has a long way to go. But the drops in phosphate levels from the Prairie Creek project prove it is money well-spent, Ohio Department of Agriculture Director David Daniels said in a statement.

Monsanto loss widens, announces $930M acquisition

WASHINGTON (AP) Agricultural business giant Monsanto Co. reported worse-than-expected losses for its fiscal fourth quarter on Wednesday due to lower sales of its genetically engineered seeds. The company forecast for fiscal 2014 also came in below Wall Street expectations, and it revealed plans to buy farming software and data firm The Climate Corporation. The combination sent shares lower in morning trading. Monsanto said separately it would pay $930 million in cash for the Climate Corporation, which was founded in 1996 by engineers from Google and other Silicon Valley companies. The companys technology uses weather forecasting and data analysis to help farmers plan their growing seasons. Company executives said the purchase is part of a broader strategy to combine the companys biotechnology with the emerging field of agriculture-focused information technology.

JIM METCALFE
By JIM METCALFE Sports Editor jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com Obviously, us Cincinnati Reds fans are severely disappointed with the teams loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates in Tuesday nights National League wild card game. They had a chance to play the contest at home but lost their last five games of the regular season, including two to the lowly New York Mets. I think Brandon Phillips comments after the game spoke volumes for all of us when he was quoted as saying the team choked and he didnt care what his teammates thought, that any criticism fans leveled at the team now was deserved. It just seemed that they were playing their worst ball of the season period at THE worst time possible. When they needed to finish strong, they finished weakly and mildly, on offense, pitching and even defense in Tuesday nights game. It was clear that the Pirates fans got to Johnny Cueto because he never even came close to settling down, just when he needed to be the shutdown starter the Reds required to silence the home crowd and give his crew a chance. It seemed that no one really got comfortable in that game, the wrong place at the wrong time for that to happen collectively. They have made the playoffs three of the last four seasons but making the playoffs has never really been enough for Reds fans it was triply-painful during the Marge Schott era when the team wasnt making them at all who got used to winning NL pennants and World Series regularly. I will not write its time to break up the team and rebuild, that Reds management has to blow this team up because they have gone as far as they can. I also wont write that its time to get rid of Dusty Baker as manager. We can argue about whether or not he should have started Cueto with only two starts after coming back from

Dont be rash, Reds!

three months off but I dont have access to scouting reports, to where he is physically and mentally after rehab, etc. Baker made what is a reasonable decision that simply didnt work out, plain and simple. There will be fodder for forums and talk shows until spring training but that is the nature of the new beast. I was basically happy with their strategy during the last off-season, staying put and figuring that most of the players would improve. I do think there have to be a couple of changes, mostly getting players to live up to the high standards they have set, such as Joey Votto. He had a pretty good year but not what we fans had become accustomed to. What about the two biggest free agents-to-be: Shin-Soo Choo and Bronson Arroyo, an innings-eater that generally gives you 6-7 innings and keeps you in the game? I remember the old Baltimore Orioles when Earl Weaver was managing and how they sometimes let stars go when the price got to high: Doug DeCinces and Bobby Grich leap to mind (I AM showing my age!); trusting that the replacements were ready to go, like Rich Dauer. They generally were correct and they were playoff contenders every year. Understanding that the Reds have a few stars locked up but they do not have the resources of, say, the Yankees or Dodgers, I believe they will make a reasonable effort to sign both of them; however, when the aforementioned Evil Empire East, Evil Empire West, Angels, etc., come calling, they will have to hope those two guys are willing to take less. If not, then they have to trust that super-speedster Billy Hamilton and Tony Cingrani are ready for full-time, primetime work; or else look for a free agent that fits their salary limitations. Personally, promote from within. As they say, we shall see. See MUSINGS, page 7

Aussie punter has found second home at Ohio State

By RUSTY MILLER Associated Press COLUMBUS There are many college football players who dont like Saturday night games. C a m e r o n Johnston is not one of them. The Ohio State punter welcomes the fourth-ranked Buckeyes second consecutive primetime game this week, this one at No. 16 Northwestern because it makes it a whole lot easier on his parents back in Geelong, Australia. We had an 8 oclock game (last week), so that was Sunday morning at 10 a.m. for them, he said. It saved them because the other games at 12 oclock noon, they were up at 2 in the morning. With his folks glued to the TV, the 21-year-old punted six times for a 39.8yard average pinning Wisconsin inside its own 20 on each one. It was a huge factor in the Buckeyes 31-24 victory and earned him the Big Ten player of the week honors on special teams. The 21-year-old Aussie has a knack for putting backspin on his punts, allowing him to pinpoint his punts rather than have them bound end-over-end into the end

Browns for real? Bills for real? Well see

By BARRY WILNER Associated Press The Browns might be for real. So might the Bills. Or neither of them should be believed. Hard to tell,and regardless of their credentials, Cleveland and Buffalo enter tonights game with 2-2 records and off impressive victories. The Browns (No. 19 in the AP Pro32) beat division favorite Cincinnati last Sunday, while the Bills (No. 20, AP Pro32) stunned defending Super Bowl champion Baltimore. Cleveland which got both of its victories after trading away its best offensive player, running back Trent Richardson is a 4 1/2-point favorite. Credit a stingy defense that ranks third overall for the Browns turnaround. The Browns are allowing just 2.9 yards per carry, a league low. No one is going to be able to run on us this year, linebacker DQwell Jackson said. As long as we stay healthy and continue to grind the tape out and do what we need to do on Sunday, I dont think anyone will be able to run on us. Buffalo might not be the best test. Starter C.J. Spiller is battling an ankle problem and fellow run-

zone. Hes actually better at that than driving it, coach Urban Meyer said. His last punt was a 4.5- or 4.6-second hang time and thats what we expect all the time. Hes a very valuable weapon for us. Hes a freshman, too, so weve got him for a long time. How Johnston came to Ohio State is an epic story on its own. With Ohio States punter graduating after last season, Meyer turned to specialteams and cornerbacks coach Kerry Coombs with a simple directive: Go find your punter. I dont care where you find him, go find your punter.

Bills and Browns primed for national spotlight

By TOM WITHERS Associated Press CLEVELAND When the NFL announced its TV schedule, the BillsBrowns matchup on a Thursday night in October didnt figure to shatter any ratings records. It still wont but its much more watchable than it figured to be. The Bills and Browns are two of the leagues early surprises at 2-2 under first-year coaches. Buffalo and Cleveland have been sparked by opportunistic defenses and one team will emerge from a short week and with momentum before the leaves drop and the weather along Lake Erie turns harsh and unforgiving. The chance to play in the national spotlight has Browns nose tackle Phil Taylor revved up. Oh, yeah, the whole world is watching, he said. Every little thing you do, you know everyone is going to see it. Two weeks ago, the Browns seemed ready to slide into a hole and disappear. After dropping to 0-2, they traded star running back Trent Richardson to Indianapolis, a stunning move that had some Cleveland fans ready to storm the teams training facility with pitchforks and torches. But just when things seemed bleakest, quarterback Brian Hoyer, a lifelong Browns fan himself, rode to the rescue. Displaying poise and leadership he learned as Tom Bradys understudy in New England, Hoyer has been a revelation for the Browns and now must deliver again. He kept the starting job this week despite Brandon Weeden being cleared to play after spraining his right thumb. As a competitor, you want to be the guy out there on the field, so Im obviously excited about that, Hoyer said. For the Bills to keep making progress, theyll need more consistency from rookie quarterback EJ Manuel. He passed for just 167 yards last week against Baltimore, but Buffalos defense intercepted Joe Flacco five times to win. While all 32 NFL teams play on a Thursday not so for Sunday or Monday nights this is a chance for the Bills and Browns to prove worthy of future exposure. If youre on Sunday or Monday nights it means you are bringing in the Ws, Taylor added. Weve got to keep winning. Five more reasons for tuning in to see the Browns host the Bills: RUNNING ON EMPTY: Buffalos robust rushing attack may not be so healthy this week. Running backs C.J. Spiller (left ankle) and Fred Jackson (sprained left knee) both got hurt last Sunday against the Ravens. They were limited in practice this week and Jackson plans to play in a brace. The Bills are averaging 152 yards per game second in the league and theyll be facing a stingy defense limiting teams to just 79 yards and 2.9 per carry, a league low. Theyre very strong, Bills coach Doug Marrone said. They do a very good job of holding the edges. M-I-N-G-O, MINGO IS HIS NAME-O: Browns rookie linebacker Barkevious Mingo is a rising star. In just three games, the No. 6 overall draft pick has three sacks, knocked down a couple passes and would have blocked a punt if he wasnt held. The 6-5, 250-pounder seems to be playing in a different gear as he has blown past offensive linemen with ease. Mingo is the first player with a sack

See LEADERS, page 7

in his first three games since 2004. ROOKIE THIEF: The Bills have a special rookie linebacker, too. Kiko Alonso is a ball magnet. Alonso had two interceptions last week, including the clincher with 57 seconds remaining to secure Buffalos stunner over Baltimore. Through four games, Alonso has four picks and leads the team with 32 tackles, 19 solo. Alonso is the first rookie linebacker to have an interception in three straight games since 1980, and just the fourth linebacker to have four interceptions in September. HAPPY RETURNS: Browns CB Joe Haden hasnt returned an interception for a touchdown in his career pro or college and he wouldnt mind getting his first on national TV. Haden, whose coverage on Bengals wide receiver A.J. Green keyed Clevelands win said hes been planning a TD celebration dance for years.

Decision on BC-Army, AFA-Navy games by today

By RALPH D. RUSSO Associated Press The service academy football teams prepared Wednesday for games that might not be played, while military and school officials considered ways to avoid postponements caused by the partial government shutdown. Armys trip to Boston College and Air Forces game at Navy in Annapolis, Md., on Saturday are in jeopardy. The Defense Department temporarily suspended sports competition at the service academies Tuesday as a result of the budget impasse in Congress. Academy officials are hoping the football games will be played regardless of whether the shutdown is lifted. Were optimistic things are moving in the right direction, Navy athletic director Chet Gladchuk said Wednesday. He added the athletic department has provided information to Pentagon officials to assure them that no government funds will be spent on any aspect of the game, noting a Navy home game brings in about $4 million from tickets, sponsorship, television and radio rights fees and other revenues such as parking and concessions. The game essentially pays for itself, he explained. Football revenue also funds most of Navys 32 other sports teams. It would be devastating to our budget, Gladchuk noted of

CINCINNATI Something important is missing from the Cincinnati Bengals offense. No, not just the touchdowns. Theres something more to it. Theyve got more options than theyve had for years but theyre not quite sure how to make them fit together. Simply put, they lack an identity. A 17-6 loss in Cleveland on Sunday left Cincinnati (2-2) with some X-and-O soulsearching. The Bengals have to figure out what they want to be as an offense. The problem is right now, we arent doing anything exceptionally well, offensive coordinator Jay Gruden said. We are not throwing the ball exceptionally well. We arent running the ball exceptionally well. Weve got to do something good. We are a jack of all trades, master of none right now. We have to master something. And they have to do it fast. On Sunday, they host the New England Patriots (4-0), who are known for taking apart teams that are unsure of themselves. Any time you play a New England football team, if youre up and down about who you are and what your style is, youre going to get your tail whipped, left tackle Andrew Whitworth said. So youve got to know what youre good at and youve got to go in and do it. Thats the only way you beat New England. And thats the truth. If youre wishy-washy on what you want to do or what kind of team you want to be, youre in trouble. In a sense, the Bengals are still trying to figure out what they can do with some newcomers. They reached the playoffs last season behind BenJarvus Green-Ellis straight-ahead running and a passing game built around All-Pro receiver A.J. Green. They added rookie tight end Tyler Eifert and running back Giovani Bernard to give quarterback Andy Dalton more options in the passing game but it hasnt fit together very well so far. The Bengals rank 22nd on offense 22nd in running, 15th in passing. Dalton ranks 21st in passer rating at 83.2. Bernard ranks 32nd in the league in rushing, Green-Ellis 33rd. Green is tied for 10th in catches and tied for 20th in yards.

NFL

having a home game canceled, adding ultimately the decision will be made by the secretary of defense. The deadline to save the games is today at noon. BC athletic director Brad Bates announced in a statement that the school was considering providing financial assistance to Army for travel to Chestnut Hill, Mass. We have been told by officials at the US Military Academy, however, that this is not solely a financial decision, Bates wrote. The coaches and players involved were still preparing for the games to be played. I wouldnt say theyre oblivious, but they are practicing and trying to maintain that laser focus, Gladchuk said. Boston College coach Steve Addazio said: In my mind, we are playing on Saturday. Its just how I feel. Earlier Wednesday, the Naval Academys Twitter account erroneously posted that Saturdays game with Air Force was on. Athletic department spokesman Scott Strasemeier shot that down quickly, saying there had been no decision made yet and that the academy was looking into the false tweet. And on a lighter note, United Airlines in a tweet offered to provide free transportation to the Air Force team from Colorado Springs to Maryland. We hate cancellations, so were offering to fly (at)AF Academy to this years Air Force-Navy game. Retweet if you agree, the companys official Twitter account posted. RAMS, 27-9 2013 RECORD: Against spread: 8-7 (31-29-3). Straight up: 7-8 (40-23). Best Bet: 3-1 against spread, 4-0 straight up. Upset special: 1-3 against spread, 1-3 straight up.

Think that the University of Southern California will inevitably hire their new football coach from within? When a coach gets fired as soon as the team plane lands, even after the coach begs for his job, you know they were unhappy for a long time and the boiling point was reached after only five games. I wont presume to know who will eventually be hired but USC is one of the prime jobs in college football, with its resources, weather, recruiting base and tradition. Will another current occupant of perhaps THE job in college football, Mack Brown of Texas, be next? Talk about a team with incredible resources, etc.?

Who wears the sweatpants in this house?

After Sue wrote Wash me with her finger in the dust on the most expensive piece of exercise equipment I own, I joined the health club. At home, I just wasnt getting it done. Id walk past the equipment 20 times a day and say to myself, Ill do that right after lunch. After lunch, Id think, It can wait till after dinner. But should you really exercise after a heavy meal? Ill do it in the morning. Besides, theres so much other stuff to do at home, so many distractions -- answer the phone, let out the cat, vacuum the carpets, let in the cat, do the laundry, let out the cat, go on an errand, let in the cat, shop for dinner, let in the cat, oh, hes already in, visit Facebook, check my email, let out the cat, and watch that TV infomercial about how much better Id feel and look if I just bought this one piece of exercise equipment that does everything the other one doesnt. But it turns out that lying on the sofa, watching Duck Dynasty, eating Hot Pockets and listening to the cat snore next to a piece of exercise equipment doesnt really melt away the pounds. Owning it isnt enough: Apparently, you have to use it. Who knew? Unless youre a truly motivated person, its almost impossible to stick to a regime at your own house. Besides, you dont really need any fancy equipment to do pushups, crunches or squats; you just have to do them. If

youre not already exercising without the equipment, you wont suddenly start exercising with it. Thats why I joined the health club. Once youre there, theres not much else to do but exercise. The thing I like about my health club is that I am not the most out-of-shape person there. They seem to have gone to great lengths to find people who are as lazy and paunchy as I am, or worse, which is a comfort. And absolutely no one there looks like they are going to win a gold medal in weightlifting or beach volleyball in the next Olympics. Its full of normal people like schoolteachers and bank tellers, trying to keep one step ahead of dreaded couch potato buildup. I had to buy a new gym bag and some sweats, so Im pawing through the sweatpants at the Shop and Go Away and everything on the shelf is size 4XL, 3XL or 2XL. Obviously, if you are buying the 4XL, you are either a professional athlete or you dont sweat very much. Ive also noticed that a lot of people in this store are wearing sweatpants even though theyre not at the gym. When I was in school, after we exercised, we changed back into our school clothes and put the smelly gym clothes in our lockers. Sweatpants werent something youd wear when you werent actually in the gym or on the field. Now people go to the mall in sweat clothes; they fly across the country in

them. Its so common to see people who obviously dont run wearing running gear, to see people who dont play tennis wearing tennis togs, to see people who dont play football or basketball wearing football and basketball jerseys that we dont even notice it anymore. I dont know what youre wearing as you read this, but however casual it is, theres probably somebody in line down at the bank wearing something even less appropriate. It strikes me that the fashion industry should take note of what the sportswear designers are doing -- that is, name their clothing for what people should be doing when they wear it. If they can make running shorts and swimsuits and yoga pants, why cant they make Flying On An Airplane clothing? Supermarket Shopping clothing? Waiting For The Bus clothing? Applying For a Job clothing? They could do it without breaking a sweat. (Contact Jim Mullen at JimMllenBooks.com.)

Seniors visit Presbyterian Church during tour of Delphos

Millie Spitnale said she thoroughly enjoyed hosting the seniors on the annual tour Wednesday. She snapped a photo of each group as they prepared to move on to their next destination.

Fay
(Continued from page 1) Fay, now 18, is accused of killing brothers Blake, 17, and Blaine Romes, 14, on the morning of May 9. The three teens and their mothers shared a house trailer in Ottawa. Judge Basinger also ordered that any negotiated change of plea has to be done by Oct. 15. The trial date has been set for Nov. 11.

Domestic
