Govt forecasts rising health care inflation

BY RICARDO ALONSO-ZALDIVAR
Associated Press
WASHINGTON The nations respite

from troublesome health care inflation is
ending, the government said Wednesday in a
report that renews a crucial budget challenge
for lawmakers, taxpayers, businesses and
patients.
Economic recovery, an aging society, and
more people insured under the new health
care law are driving the long-term trend.
Projections by nonpartisan experts with
the Health and Human Services department
indicate the pace of health care spending will
pick up starting this year and beyond. The
introduction of expensive new drugs for the
liver-wasting disease hepatitis C also contributes to the speed-up in the short run.
The report from the Office of the Actuary
projects that spending will grow by an average
of 6 percent a year from 2015-2023. Thats a
notable acceleration after five consecutive
years, through 2013, of annual growth below
4 percent.
Although the coming bout of health-cost

inflation is not expected to be as aggressive
as in the 1980s and 1990s, it will still pose a
dilemma for President Barack Obamas successor. Long term, much of the growth comes
from Medicare and Medicaid, two giant government programs now covering more than
100 million people.
The United States is expected to spend
more than $3 trillion on health care this year,
far above any other economically advanced
country. Yet Americans are not appreciably
healthier, and much what they spend appears
to go for tests and treatments of questionable
value. Fraud also siphons off tens of billions
of dollars a year.
Because health care spending is so high,
shifts of a couple of percentage points have
significant economic consequences. Health
care inflation has recently been in line with
overall economic growth, keeping things
manageable.
As spending rebounds, health care again
will start consuming a growing share of the
economic pie, crowding out other worthy pri-
orities. From 17.2 percent of the economy in

2012, health care is expected to grow to a 19.3
percent share by 2023, the report said.
The period in which health care has
accounted for a stable share of economic
output is expected to end in 2014, primarily
because of the (health care laws) coverage
expansions, it concluded.
Yet if Obamas Affordable Care Act is an
immediate trigger for rising costs, the analysts
who produced the report said it is not the only
factor. Its probably not the most important
one when placed next to a recovering economy and an aging population. Traditionally, the
state of the economy has been the strongest
driver of health care spending.
The report estimated that 9 million uninsured people gained coverage this year as
the health care laws big coverage expansion
got underway, and another 8 million will be
added next year.
More people insured translates into higher
demand for medical services and more spending, so White House claims of dramatic
savings from the health law were always
suspect. But the fiscal doomsday warnings

from Obamacare detractors have not materialized, either.
Part of the reason seems to be a push-andpull effect within the health overhaul. Obamas
insurance expansion increases spending, but
Medicare cuts under the same law help keep
other costs down. And Congress reinforced
Obamas Medicare cuts with a round of its
own during recent budget battles.
The analysts said they did not see much
evidence that payment reforms encouraged by
the health law are having an impact on costs
yet. Medicare is experimenting with how it
pays hospitals and doctors to reward efficiency while maintaining or improving quality.
The White House may take comfort that
the report does not foresee a return to inflation rates of 7 percent a year or more. We
are not projecting that growth will get back to
its rapid pace of the 80s and 90s, said Sean
Keehan, a senior economist who worked on
the report.

Local firefighters advance their education

Delphos firefighters sit in the Firemens Clubhouse Tuesday evening during Level One Transition
classes as Fire Instructor Andy Hefner goes over dry chemical extinguishers. The class is offered
through Apollo Career Center. The firefighters will move from 36-hour to Level One Firefighter. The
classes are paid for with a grant from the Ohio Fire Marshalls Office and any incidental costs will be
covered with a Dienstberger Foundation Grant received in December. Fire Chief Kevin Streets said
the training will bring three-fourths of the department up to Level One. The goal of the department
is to have everybody be no less than a Level One, Streets said. (DHI Media/Nancy Spencer)
KALIDA The Ohio State

Highway Patrol is currently
investigating a two vehicle
fatal crash involving a commercial vehicle that occurred
Wednesday at approximately
5:22 a.m. The crash occurred
on SR 115 near Road M in
Union Township in Putnam
County.
A 2004 Ford Ranger, driven by Adrian W. Birkemier,
80, of Columbus Grove was
northbound on SR 115 when
he struck the left side of a
2015 Volvo semi truck driven by Shane M. Baker, 36, of
Fremont, Indiana. Baker was
backing his commercial truck
and trailer on SR 115 from
the south to the east into a private drive near Sarka Electric.
Bakers trailer was completely across the roadway when
Birkemiers vehicle struck
the trailer, lodging the pickup
underneath the semi-trailer.
Birkemier was trapped in
his vehicle and the jaws of
life were utilized by the Kalida
Fire Department in order to
remove him from the wreckage. Birkemier succumbed to
his injuries at the scene of the
crash.
The Lima Post of the Ohio
State Highway Patrol was
assisted on scene by the Putnam
County Sheriffs Office, Kalida
Fire and EMS and Meyers
Towing.
Birkemier was not wearing
a properly adjusted seatbelt
and alcohol is not considered
a factor in the crash. The crash
remains under investigation.
Study links polar vortex chills to shrinking ice

BY SETH BORENSTEIN
AP Science Writer
WASHINGTON Remember
the polar vortex, the huge mass of
Arctic air that can plunge much of
the U.S. into the deep freeze? You
might have to get used to it.
A new study says that as the
world gets warmer, parts of North
America, Europe and Asia could
see more frequent and stronger
visits of that cold air. Researchers
say thats because of shrinking ice
in the seas off Russia.
Normally, the polar vortex is
penned in the Arctic. But at times it
escapes and wanders south, bringing with it a bit of Arctic super
chill.
That can happen for several reasons, and the new study suggests
that one of them occurs when ice in
northern seas shrinks, leaving more
water uncovered.
Normally, sea ice keeps heat
energy from escaping the ocean
and entering the atmosphere.
When theres less ice, more ener-
gy gets into the atmosphere and

weakens the jet stream, the highaltitude river of air that usually
keeps Arctic air from wandering
south, said study co-author JinHo Yoon of the Pacific Northwest
National Laboratory in Richland,
Washington. So the cold air escapes
instead.
That happened relatively infrequently in the 1990s, but since
2000 it has happened nearly every
year, according to a study published Tuesday in the journal
Nature Communications. A team
of scientists from South Korea and
United States found that many such
cold outbreaks happened a few
months after unusually low sea ice
levels in the Barents and Kara seas,
off Russia.
The study observed historical
data and then conducted computer simulations. Both approaches showed the same strong link
between shrinking sea ice and cold
outbreaks, according to lead author
Baek-Min Kim, a research scientist at the Korea Polar Research
Institute. A large portion of sea

ice melting is driven by man-made
climate change from the burning of
fossil fuels, Kim wrote in an email.
Sea ice in the Arctic usually
hits its low mark in September
and thats the crucial time point
in terms of this study, said Mark
Serreze, director of the National
Snow and Ice Data Center in
Boulder, Colorado. Levels reached
a record low in 2012 and are slightly up this year, but only temporarily, with minimum ice extent still
about 40 percent below 1970s levels, he said.
Yoon said that although his
study focused on shrinking sea
ice, something else was evidently
responsible for last years chilly
visit from the polar vortex.
In the past several years, many
studies have looked at the accelerated warming in the Arctic and
whether it is connected to extreme
weather farther south, from heatwaves to Superstorm Sandy. This
Arctic-extremes connection is
cutting edge science that is hotly
debated by mainstream climate scientists, Serreze said. Scientists are

meeting this week in Seattle to
look at the issue even more closely.
Kevin Trenberth, climate analysis chief at the National Center for
Atmospheric Research in Boulder,
is skeptical about such connections
and said he doesnt agree with
Yoons study. His research points
more to the Pacific than the Arctic
for changes in the jet stream and
polar vortex behavior, and he said
Yoons study puts too much stock
in an unusual 2012.
But the study was praised by
several other scientists who said it
does more than show that sea ice
melt affects worldwide weather,
but demonstrates how it happens,
with a specific mechanism.
Katharine Hayhoe, a Texas Tech
climate scientist in Lubbock, said
the study provides important
insight into the cascading nature
of the effects human activities are
having on the planet.

animal control officers hunted Wednesday for a highly venomous cobra that bit a dog and then slithered off into a suburban Los Angeles neighborhood.
Authorities warned that the neurotoxin venom from the
albino monocled cobra can be deadly and urged people to call
911 if they saw the snake.
Do not approach it, do not try to capture it, do not try to kill
it, said Brandon Dowling, a Los Angeles County spokesman.
If the snake does bite someone, antivenom will be flown in
from the San Diego Zoo, Dowling said.
The cobra, photographed near a wall, appeared to be several
feet long. It bit a dog on Monday evening, but the owner didnt
report it until Tuesday, Dowling said.
Television news reports showed the dog, named Kiko, with
a large red wound on its neck Wednesday but otherwise the pet
appeared healthy.
State wildlife officials and county animal control officers
searched the area for the snake without luck but planned to
keep looking into Wednesday evening, authorities said. They
had not located the owner.

September is Safe
Driving Awareness Month
VAN WERT September has been designated as Safe Driving

Awareness Month in Ohio and the Ohio State Highway Patrol is
reminding motorists to do their part in keeping roadways safe by
driving defensively, while never driving distracted or impaired.
The Patrol is also encouraging motorists to always buckle
up. There is simply no disputing that wearing a safety belt can
save your life. Additionally, motorists should take their time
and be knowledgeable of all traffic safety laws.
By devoting their full attention to the road, motorists
can reduce their risk of getting into a crash, Lt. Brode Post
Commander said. We need all motorists to practice safe driving habits to make the roadways safe all across Ohio.
From 2009-13, an average of 290,556 motor vehicle crashes
occurred on Ohios public roadways. Over 900 involved fatalities with 1,046 people being killed.
Last year was the first in Ohios history recording fewer
than 1,000 fatalities in a year, with 990 people killed in 918
motor vehicle crashes.
September was designated by Senate bill 294, signed by
Governor John Kasich in June 2014, to honor Maria Tiberi and
other victims of motor vehicle crashes. Tiberi was a 21-yearold college student who died in a distracted driving crash in
September 2013. She is the daughter of Columbus television
sports anchor, Dom Tiberi.

COLUMBUS September is National
Preparedness Month (NPM). NPM was originally created by FEMAs Ready Campaign
in response to the tragic events of Sept. 11,
2001, in order to educate the public on how
to prepare for all hazards and emergencies.
The Ohio Emergency Management Agency
and ReadyOhio have committed to participate in National Preparedness to increase
readiness throughout Ohio and the United
States.
The Ready Campaign established four
universal building blocks of emergency preparedness:
Be Informed. Make a Plan. Build a Kit.
And Get Involved. Americas PrepareAthon!
builds on this foundation by encouraging
millions of Americans to focus on a simple,
specific activity that will increase preparedness.
Americas PrepareAthon! is a new national community-based campaign for action
that focuses on increasing emergency preparedness through hazard-specific drills,
group discussions and exercises. National
PrepareAthon! Days are held every spring
and fall. The first PrepareAthon! Day was
held in April and highlighted hazards that
can occur in the country during spring and
summer months.
During National Preparedness Month, the
Ready Campaign and ReadyOhio ask that
emergency responders, emergency managers, and all Ohioans take action by planning
a National PrepareAthon! Day during the
month of September.
This years NPM theme is Be Disaster
Aware. Take Action to Prepare. Each week
throughout September, NPM will focus on a
different activity:
Week 1: How to reconnect with family
after a disaster.
Week 2: Know how to plan for specific
needs before a disaster.
Week 3: How to build an emergency
kit.
Weeks 4 and 5: How to practice for an
emergency.

EPA adds another

$12M for battling
Lake Erie algae
TOLEDO (AP) The U.S.
Environmental Protection
Agency says federal and state
agencies will be getting another $12 million to deal with the
harmful algae in Lake Erie.
The EPA said Wednesday
that Ohio, Michigan and
Indiana will be able to get a
share of the money along with
federal regulators.
Some of the funding will
be for monitoring drinking
water and tracking pollutants in waterways that go into
Lake Erie.
The EPA also says a part
of the $12 million will go
toward encouraging farmers
to cut down on the fertilizer
and manure runoff that contributes to the algae problem.
The announcement comes
just a little over a month after
the city of Toledos water supply was contaminated by toxins from algae on the lake.
BUCYRUS (AP) A suspect in the beatings of

four men found dead in separate homes in the same
Ohio community has been taken into custody but not
been charged, authorities said Wednesday.
Police say the deaths in Bucyrus, about 65 miles
north of Columbus, were likely related but they dont
know if the men knew each other.
Two bodies were found Monday. Authorities said
the suspect came into the police station and led officers
to two more bodies Tuesday morning.
Crawford County Sheriff Scott Kent, whose office is
assisting local police, said Wednesday that the suspect
gave some information as to why the killings occurred,
but authorities werent releasing the details.
One (slaying) can be complicated. Four is overwhelming, Kent said.
The town of 12,000 is unaccustomed to violent
crime but battling a heroin problem. Some residents
said after the slayings that they were worried about
their safety.
Crawford County Coroner Michael Johnson said
Billy Jack Chatman, 55, and Freelin Hensley, 67, were
found dead Monday. The next day the body of 65-yearold Darrell Lewis was found in his apartment and the
body of 65-year-old Gerald Lee Smiths body was
found in an apartment in the same complex.
Johnson said the cause of death in the four homicides hasnt been determined yet. He said a preliminary
autopsy report would be available today.

Delphos FFA members shine at Allen County Fair

INFORMATION
SUBMITTED
LIMA Delphos FFA
members hard work throughout the past year was rewarded as many of them were successful at the Allen County
Fair. The chapter was represented very well as over
85 members exhibited shop,
crop and livestock projects.
Delphos FFA was well represented with members placing
at the top in their respective
livestock classes.
Also, several members
placed at the top in showmanship with their respective
species and the chapter was
awarded several top places in
the shop area as well.
The projects that FFA
members exhibit at the fair
are the result of numerous
hours of hard work and dedication. While preparing for
the fair, members practice
and improve life skills, such
as responsibility, time management, decision making,
cooperation, team work and
others. This is just another
example of how the FFA and
Agricultural Education help
prepare students for a successful future.
Justin Siefker received champion Senior

Beef Showman, Champion of Champion

Consider crops, cover crops to plan herbicide program

BY JAMES HOORMAN
Putnam County Extension Ag Educator
news@delphosherald.com
Several farmers have commented that their

early seeded cover crop stands that were
broadcast or aerial seeded often look worse
than cover crops that were seeded four to six
weeks later. The cover crop seeds appear to
germinate, then the stands get weak and in
some cases disappear.
If the field has had adequate rain or moisture, herbicide carryover may be an issue.
There are several corn and soybean herbicides
that have longer residual activity that may be
detrimental to fall seeded cover crops.
When planning your herbicide program,
make sure you consider what crop or cover
crop will follow your spring seeding. Consult
your herbicide label; however, many labels
do not have much information on specific
cover crops species. One place to start is to
look at the half-life of the herbicide or how
long it takes on average for that herbicide to
degrade in the soil. Environmental factors
like rain and drought, humidity, sunlight and
other factors can change the time it takes for
a herbicide to degrade.
In general, most herbicides degrade faster

under warm and moisture conditions if soil
microbes are involved in the chemical degradation.
For corn herbicides, the triazines (Atrazine
and Simazine or Princep) can be a major
problem if applied at high rates. The half-life
is 60 days with activity out to 120 days. If
applied May 1, these herbicides may affect
cover crops seeded Sept. 1 or even later,
especially if dry weather occurs. Crops that
are most affected include cereals, ryegrass,
legumes (includes most clovers) and mustards
(radish, rape, kale), which includes almost all
of our cover crops. Atrazine and Simazine are
more persistent in high pH soils (>7.0). Rates
less than 1 pound per acre active ingredient
allow more flexibility.
Other corn herbicides that can cause problems include Balance Pro 4L, Capreno 3.45SC
and Corvus 2.63SC with a half-life of 50-120
days. With Capreno and Corvus herbicides,
most grasses like cereal rye, ryegrass and fall
planted cereal grains (wheat) are generally
safe to plant; however, legumes and mustards
may be harmed. For Balance Pro, only fall
cereal grains are labeled for fall planting.
These three herbicides need 15 inches of
cumulative precipitation from spring planting until the next crop to degrade. Stinger,
Hornet and Surestart (40 days) are also deadly
to legumes with a 10- to 18-month re-crop
interval needed before they can be planted.
Read the herbicide label for more details and
restrictions for all herbicides.
Farmers should be wary of post-emergent
herbicides that are sprayed late in the growing season. Peak 57WG and Spirit have a
half-life of 9-152 days. Small seeded legumes
and mustards are the most at risk along with
high pH soils (>7.0). Another corn herbicide,
2-4D has a 30-day waiting period before
planting sensitive broadleaves (mustards and
legumes). The later herbicides are sprayed,
the greater the chance that they will have an
effect on the following crop.
Soybean herbicides can also be a major
concern. Authority or Spartan (half-life
32-302 days) is a major concern for small
seeded legumes, mustards and sorghum but
NOT for cereals and ryegrass. Scepter and
Pursuit have a 60-90-day half-life and are a
major concern, especially during dry periods
for all legumes and mustards. Reflex (100 day
half-life) and Classic (chlorimuron, 40 days)
are often applied post-emergence and can
surprise producers on legumes and mustards.

Assure II/Targa has a 60-day half-life but
most broadleaves and all grasses after 120
days should be safe, if lower rates are used.
Herbicides that can be applied to both
corn and soybean that may cause problems to
cover crops include Prowl (44 days), Python
(Hornet and Surestart, 14-120 days) and
Sencor (Metribuzin, 14-60 days). All cereal
grains and most grasses are safe but legumes
and mustards are at risk. Some of the safest herbicides to use before planting cover
crops are Glyphosate, Gramoxone, Harmony,
Liberty, Outlook, Sharpen, Select, Harness,
Impact, Laudis and Resolve; either because
they have a short half-life or they have little
to no soil residual activity.
The Putnam County OSU Extension
office will offer a new program to agricultural farm women called Annies Project.
Classes start Sept. 22 and end Oct. 27 and
the educational programs will be held from
6-9 p.m. Monday evenings with a light meal
starting at 5:30 p.m. The classes will be held
at the Putnam County Extension office, 1206
E. Second St., Ottawa. The cost is $35. Call

Shaw learns valuable Lady Jeffcats broom away Miller City

Musings
By JIM METCALFE
Why did he do it?
I refer to now-suspended University of Southern
California senior captain Josh Shaw and his fabrication
about leaping from an apartment balcony to save his
drowning 7-year-old nephew, injuring both his ankles
in the process.
Why would he weave such a tall tale of heroism and
later admit he lied?
Because he can?
That might be part of the answer; we humans do
things many times simply because we can.
Another is that he wants to be a hero and hoped he
could be one, though falsely, if he could get away with
it.
A third is he did something dumb as college students are wont to do and compounded the problem
by lying about it.
How about the me-first, the world-owes-me, doyou-know-who-I-am? mentality that seems to be gripping more and more of our young athletes heck, our
young people?
That because they are who they are, they
should be able to do things us peons cant or be held
to their own standards and be beyond criticism.
Look what it took for the National Football League
to be embarrassed into addressing the domestic violence
issue amonst its players?
Lets face it: many of these big-time college athletes
have been big-men-on-campus their whole lives and it
can/does change their attitude toward themselves and
others. In other words, their head cant fit through the
door and why dont you bow at my feet?
It also seems that with social media continuing to
explode through the stratosphere, the thinking is more
and more that ANY news even bad stuff is
good news; it gets your name out there and everyone
is talking about you.
What used to be frowned upon is almost a badge of
honor anymore, as in street cred and such.

MILLER CITY Jefferson has

played its first three volleyball matches
on the road in 2014.
Based on the Lady Wildcats 3-0
mark, they havent minded it.
The latest victim was Miller City
Wednesday night at J. Harry Leopold
Gymnasium at Miller City/New
Cleveland High School, a 25-13, 25-16,
25-10 sweep.
Tonight was the best Ive seen us
play this year. We were comminucating
and moving our feet, acting Jefferson
head coach Josh Early explained. The
one thing I liked the most was we had
very few mental errors. In the past, even
when we started well and played well,
wed have those mental errors, the type
that when one player makes one, another
does the same and it snowballs. We did
not do that tonight nor all year.
Miller City coach Cheryl Kreinbrink
knows her team isnt there just yet.
We beat ourselves; its that simple.
The other team doesnt have to do anything, she explained. We have three
seniors one of them is our libero
and they do a great job of leadership.
However, when they are off their game
like tonight we fall apart. We are so
young overall and we dont have the big,
powerhouse girls to pick up the slack and
finish it. We seem to have hit a lull after
we had such a great start against Tinora
and everything has gone downhill.
Coaches talk about spurtability
being able to put together a string of points
to take control of a match, especially in
such a momentum sport as volleyball.
That was what keyed the Lady
Jeffcats in all three sets.
Jeffersons Danielle Harman follows through on a kill attempt versus

Miller City Wednesday. (DHI Media/Jim Metcalfe)
In the opener, the teams battled on
even terms, with the host Wildcats (1-5)
getting a kill by Haley Lammers (7 kills;
8 digs; 3 solo blocks) to tie it at 10.
However, Jeffersons Danielle Harman
(5 kills; 3 blocks) put down a pair of kills
to jump-start a 5-0 spurt for the hosts to
take a 15-10 edge. After a Lammers kill
stopped the bleeding briefly, a stuff by
Harman kicked off another 5-0 spurt to
give the Red and White a commanding
20-11 edge. After a 2-0 mini-run, a kill
by Andrea Geise (5 kills) touched off a
closing 5-0 surge, finished on an ace by
Desteni Lear, for a 1-set lead.
Set two was very similar. Actually, it

was almost at the same spot in the score
that the visitors put together a killer spurt.
Down 10-8 on a stuff block by Kristin
Schmenk (3 kills), a serving error gave
senior Brooke Culp (10 assists; 5 digs)
the serve. Keyed by six hitting errors by
the hosts, by the time Lammers stuffed
a hit, the Jeffcats were up 17-11. From
then, it was only a matter of time as
Miller City committed 16 hitting/serving errors in the set, including one on set
point, for a 2-set Jefferson advantage.

Kalida girls whitewash young MC on the pitch

By JIM METCALFE
KALIDA Kalida has a
much more experienced and
upperclass-laden girls soccer
unit than Miller City in 2014.
The LadyCats took advantage of that to the tune of a
2-0 Putnam County League
shutout on a warm and sunny
Wednesday at Kalida Soccer
Stadium.
That domination took the
form of a 31-5 shots on-goal
advantage.
The host LadyCats (2-21, 1-0-0) had dominated the
first half but had nothing to
show for it, with a 0-0 tie
entering the halftime.
We were getting the
opportunities but they were
either not on target or we
were kicking it right to their
keeper. For me, I like that we
were taking those shots; we
want the girls to keep shooting, Kalida coach Dave
Kehres said. Weve been so
focused on defense, especially the last week or so because
we are breaking in a new
keeper (sophomore Morgan
Knapke) and we want to help
her out to get confident in
goal. Now that I think were
comfortable with her in there
and our defenders are in sync
with her, we are going to
focus more on offense.
The LadyCats kept up the
pressure in the second half
but they were more in control
of their shots, not taking as
many but being more accurate.
At 31:20, senior Jackie
Gardner had a good shot
from the right wing but her
at 16:18. Again inside the

18, junior Alexa Ellerbrock
quick-touched a pass to
Vorst, who took a dribble to
just outside the right post and
set up a 12-yarder that found
the left side of the cords.
Miller City had an opening at 9:05 when Niese got
behind the defense and had
a 1-on-1 just inside the 18
but senior defender Mariah
Doepker came out of nowhere
to steal the orb.
At 7:58, the guests had
a final look but junior Liz
Klears 18-yarder on the right
wing bounced just wide left.
We were more looking for ball possession the
second half and connecting
the dots, Kehres added.
Obviously, coaches would
like to connect on 100 percent of their teams shots,
even 50 percent, but thats
not going to happen. We
know we need to be more
efficient but when you look
at who we started with:
strong programs like Van
Buren, Liberty-Benton and
LCC plus were battling
injuries and scoring is at

BU drops pair of soccer matches

WOOSTER The Bluffton
University womens soccer team struggled to mount an offensive at the College
of Wooster on Wednesday afternoon,
dropping an 8-0 decision at the hands of
the Fighting Scots. Bluffton slipped to 0-2 on the year, while
Wooster upped its mark to 2-1.
Four different Wooster women found the back of the
net in the first 45 minutes as the home team opened up
a commanding 4-0 lead at the break. Bluffton held serve
for over 30 minutes to open half two before the Fighting
Scots cashed in with four late tallies for an 8-0 shutout of
the Beavers.
Sophomores Terrill Webb (Kenton) and Kristen Tropf
(Findlay/Van Buren) both put shots on goal but Wooster
finished the contest with a dominating 35-2 edge in total
attempts, including 18-2 on frame.
Freshman Katie Neeley (Huber Heights/Wayne)
turned back 10 shots for the visitors.
The Beavers wrap up a 3-match road swing to open
the season when they travel to Wilmington College on
Saturday afternoon. Kickoff is slated for 2 p.m.
Later on, the Beaver mens soccer team went up 1-0
early before two second-half Wooster goals added up to a
2-1 victory for the Fighting Scots.
Bluffton fell to 0-3, while Wooster improved to 2-1 on

T-Birds surge past Jays in volleyball

By LARRY HEIING
DHI Media Correspondent
news@delphosherald.com
LIMA Killer instincts.
The good teams have them and use it
to put away opposing teams.
Young teams, like the St. Johns
volleyballers need to develop the confidence that will lead to doing the little things that will be the difference
between winning and losing.
So far this season, St. Johns looked
ready for the sweep in their non-league
matches only to allow the competition
to win when the match was on the line.
It was the same story at Msgr. Edward
C. Herr gymnasium Wednesday night as
the Blue Jays took the first set against
Lima Central Catholic 25-20 but dropped
the final sets by the same scores of 25-22.
The Lady Jays jumped out to a 3-0
lead in set one as the Thunderbirds were
unable to get the ball back across the net.
L.C.C. came back to tie the score at five
but an ace by Maddie Buettner and an alert
play by Olivia Kahny in reaching over
the net for the return slam put the visitors
back in front. Later, Rebekah Fischers
block fell in for a point and Maddie
Pohlmans ace extended the margin to
15-10. Back-to-back blocks for points
by Fischer and Buettner was enough for
L.C.C. coach Wes Horstman to call time
out. The T-Birds rallied for a pair of points
but a fantanstic dig by Jesse Geise preserved the volley for the Blue Jays to lead
again by five. Pohlman slammed two kills
on sets by Colleen Schulte and Fischer as
St. Johns won the first set.
The Thunderbirds led 11-2 to start the
second set before the Blue Jays began
to claw back beginning with a Buettner
block and a kill by Madison Ellis off
an Ellie Csukker assist. With the home
team leading 13-4, St. Johns scored
six straight points, including a kill by
Pohlman and an ace by Kahny, to pull
within five points. The rally continued
as St. Johns briefly took the lead on
a Fischer assist to Pohlman. The Blue
Jays failed to keep the momentum as
unforced errors led to a second-set loss
and a tie match.
The third set was back and forth with
the score tied at 11. The T-Birds went on
a5-point run as they appeared poised to
take control of the match. St. Johns had
other ideas as kills by Kahny, Buettner
and Ellis combined with a Geise block
and Kahny ace deadlocked the set at 21.
L.C.C. outscored St. Johns down the
Musings
The third set was much easier for the Lady Jeffcats. They
gained the first two points, then Miller City four straight. An
MC serving error gave Macy Wallace (3 aces) the controls; two
aces and three other points later, Jefferson was in command at
7-4. Using a pair of 3-0 spurts and a 6-0 run as many on good
hits as on errors a tap by Culp gave the visitors a 19-7 edge.
Again, Miller City did not have the consistency or firepower to
dig itself out and Jefferson wouldnt let them as a bump
winner by Lear on a scramble point sealed the deal.
stretch 4-1 to take a 2-1 lead.

L.C.C. came out strong in set four
to lead 8-3. A kill by Buettner, an ace
from freshman Kennedy Clarkson and
another ace from Kahny sparked the
Jays within one point, 9-8. The L.C.C.
hitters began to find the open holes
in the St. Johns defense to jump in
front 18-13, prompting coach Carolyn
Dammeyer to call time out. The pep
talked worked as Buettner slammed
down a shot and Maya Gerker fired an
ace. More unforced errors by the Jays
gave away points as the T-Birds lad by
five until Hayley Jettinghoff leaped high
over the net for the return kill shot. A set
from Jettinghoff to Geise for the slam
and more kills by Pohlman and Fischer
moved the Jays within 23-20 but thats
as close as they would get dropping set
four and the match.
We had a lot of unforced errors
That leads to bucks, TV appearances, reality (are they

really real?) shows, books and movie deals.
In this case, it backfired for Mr. Shaw and now, he may go
down in the annals of infamy.
I am reminded of the movie based on Sir Thomas More
A Man for All Seasons in which he is on trial and
knows his fate after being betrayed by Richard Rich, the new
Attorney General of Wales: More quotes Scripture What
does it profit a man to gain the whole wide world but lose his
soul and adds but for Wales?
Mr. Shaw didnt even get Wales.
Heres hoping others learn a needed lesson: its OK to make
mistakes; just admit to them, take the punishment that comes
and move on.
Its OK; weve all been there, done that OK, maybe not
all of it but you get my drift and lived to tell about it.
Or this: its only a game, not life itself, and its a gift. Use
it wisely and humbly.
It looks like the Cincinnati Reds officially gave up on

the 2014 season.
Sigh!
The Reds traded set-up man Jonathan Broxton to fellow NL
Central colleague Milwaukee bad move, folks! for a cup
of coffee and a cigarette, aka two bums er, players to
be named later.
I get that for a set-up guy for a small-market team, he is
making $9 mil a year and that is a bit steep. This is a salary
dump, supposedly to help pay for re-signing Johnny Cueto,
Aroldis Chapman and others this off-season and next season.
By that token, why dont you get trade overpaid Sean
Marshall ($5.6 mil), though his shoulder woes from the last
two seasons and surgery this season make that very unlikely?
the season.
Senior Ben Knotts (Carrollton) capitalized on an early
yellow card issued to Wooster as he found the back of
the net with a penalty kick less than 15 minutes into the
contest. Bluffton limited the home team to just one shot in
the first half while maintaining the slim one-goal advantage
at the break.
Wooster broke into the scoring column in minute 53 to
knot the contest and with just over four minutes to
play, the home team banged in tally number two
for the 2-1 victory. Bluffton finished with a commanding 11-5 edge in shots but the Beavers were
unable to make it stand up.
Senior Peter Carlson (Toledo/Springfield) finished with
three shots, while both of Knotts attempts were on
frame. Blake Drewes (Archbold) and Grant Stutzman
(Sugarcreek/Hiland) both chipped in with a pair of shots.
The Bluffton men welcome Cincinnati Christian
University for the 2014 home opener at 5 p.m. Friday.
Wiricks 20 digs pace Owens Volleyball
Toledo The Owens Community College womens
volleyball team came back from a 24-20 second-set deficit
en route to sweeping the conference opener from Lorain
County Community College in the Student Health and
Activities Center (SHAC) Wednesday night.
In the first set, Owens cruised to a 25-15 victory behind
five kills fromErika Hartings (Coldwater/Coldwater, Ohio),
as well as seven assists from Deanna Smith (Riverview/
Riverview, Mich.).
Then, late in the second half, Owens blew a lead and
fell behind 24-20. Four straight points by Owens tied the
set up before each team took turns scoring points. During
that stretch, Lorain County had a couple set points nullified

against L.C.C. while setter Colleen Schulte looks on. (DHI Media/Larry
Heiing)
by Owens. Then, with the match tied at 29, Owens took

advantage of their first set point and won the set 31-29.
In that second set, Hartings added five more kills, while
Smith added five more assists. Ciarra Wirick (Benjamin
Logan/West Liberty, Ohio) added five digs in the set, including a running one-handed dig deep beyond the baseline to
save the set.
In the third set, Owens cruised to an easy win despite
making four attack errors with just four kills. They had 10
digs in the set, including three each by Wirick and Macy
Reigelsperger (Coldwater/Coldwater, Ohio).
Additionally, Owens combined for 15 assisted blocks
over the final two sets.
Overall, Hartings led Owens with 11 kills, while Reigelsperger
added nine. In assists, Jessica Cooper (Brandywine/Niles,
Mich.) had a team-high 15, while Smith added 14. The team
produced six aces as a team, with Amara Hemenway (Bellevue/
Bellevue, Ohio) leading the way with two.
In fact, Hemenways top spin ace serve ended the
second set win for her team.
Wirick led the team with 20 digs, while Reigelsperger
added 12 andAricka LaVoy (Eastwood/Pemberville,
Ohio) had eight. Hartings and Ally Mikesell (St. Henry/St.
Henry, Ohio) split the teams only two solo blocks, while
Reigelsperger (6) and Mikesell (4) led the way in assisted
blocks. Hartings and Kayla Siefker (Kalida/Ottawa, Ohio)
each added three assisted blocks.
Owens improved to 7-4 overall and 1-0 in Ohio Community
College Athletic Conference (OCCAC) play with tonights win.
Looking ahead, they will be in action again Friday in the SHAC
at 6 p.m. against Sinclair Community College. Then, on
Saturday, Owens will host Edison Community College at 11
a.m. and St. Clair County Community College at 2 p.m. Sinclair
and Edison are both OCCAC opponents.
Even though it was a small crowd tonight, this is a loud

gym. Our girls handled that well, Early added. Im looking forward to havibg our first home match (today) against
Ottoville. Its been a long time since weve beaten them and
were looking forward to a good match.
Makenna Ricker and Taylor Roth each had three aces for
the hosts, while libero Jana Schroeder had 17 digs.
Both units return to home action tonight: Jefferson hosts
Ottoville in its first home match of the season and Miller City
welcomes in Antwerp.
The Jefferson junior varsity is also 3-0 off a 25-16, 25-17 sweep.
tonight at the wrong time but Im happy

with the positive things and the improvement by the girls with this tough schedule, said Coach Dammeyer. We fought
hard tonight against a good L.C.C. team
and didnt give up when we were down.
St. Johns offense was a team effort
as Maddie Pohlman scored 10 kills and
Maddie Buettner had nine kills along
with 18 blocks. Schulte dished out 23
assists.
The defense was also wel- rounded as
Geise hit the floor with 20 digs and eight
blocks. Rebekah Fischer jumped up for
11 blocks and libero Kestley Hulihan
recorded 22 digs.
With the win, L.C.C. improves to
4-3 after playing in the tough Lehman
Catholic Labor Day Invite.
St. Johns falls to 2-3 and travels to
New Knoxville tonight for a Midwest
Athletic Conference matchup.
However, who do you have to even come close to replacing

Broxton for next year? They just expanded their roster to 40,
so a minor-league-salary guy or JJ Hoover (see my column
from two weeks ago) replaced him. Plus, if the Reds deal
Chapman in the off-season, which Marty Brenneman and I
believe Mark Sheldon were discussing on the radio Tuesday
night perish the thought! or make him a starter, who is
now your closer?
Its already apparent either Mat Latos or Mike Leake
heck, maybe even Cueto the way its going will be traded
in the off-season.
Homer Baileys elbow woes, if the Reds dont get off the
pot, may carry over into next season.
Jay Bruce was recently quoted as saying this season has
been the most embarrassing of his life.
What? Batting under .220 and will likely finish under 20
home runs for what only around $10 million this year?
Maybe thats one argument against giving so much moolah
to one person remember the small market? on a 25-man
roster when you better have a lot more than one good player.
Understood, he had arthroscopic knee surgery in May and
you wonder how healthy he is but at the same time, us peons
are expected to plug away and do our best every single day,
injuries/illnesses be darned.
Everybody in this lineup has struggled mightily, so that
hasnt helped; they dont have the guys to allow slumps to one
of your highest-paid players.
Anything that could go wrong this season has: injuries,
slumps, guys not living up to past excellence.
Who knows if Joey Votto will ever be the same after his
injury.
One has to wonder Im trying to stop myself from writing
this but my evil twin is taking over! if we may be seeing the
(gulp!) dismantling of the Reds and entering a rebuilding phase!
The sky is falling!

DEAR
WORRIED:
I
dont think you did anything
inappropriate. I suspect the
stepsisters mother was jealous
that she wasnt the person in the
pool, which is why she didnt
speak up during the party and
you had to hear it weeks later
secondhand.
DEAR ABBY: On July 31
you printed my question about
throwing a 25th anniversary party
for my parents. I want to let you
know that instead of taking on
an expensive dinner that I cant
afford right now, Im collaborating
with a cousin to have a chef come
into their home to prepare a nice
meal for them and the people who
participated in their wedding. I
felt it was a much more personal
and cost-effective way to give
them the nice anniversary they
deserve. Thank you for your
advice! -- SON OF SILVERS
DEAR S.O.S.: Im delighted
you wrote to share your solution.
The idea is terrific. I am sure
your parents will be thrilled and
other readers will appreciate your
ingenuity. Thank you!

Van Buren, also known as Jeanne

snoring problem, and Im a very

light sleeper. I cannot sleep with
a snorer! I dont want to ruin
my time at my sons wedding,
and shes upset about the added
expense of another room, which
neither of us can really afford, but
I dont know what else to do. -MOTHER OF THE GROOM
DEAR MOTHER OF THE
GROOM: The separate room
may be a luxury you cant really
afford, but incurring the expense
may be worth it so you wont
sleepwalk through your sons
wedding. Im not recommending
earplugs because, while they
may dull the racket, they wont
completely eliminate the sound of
severe snoring.
P.S. If your mothers physician
doesnt know about her snoring, it
should be discussed so the doctor
can make sure it isnt a symptom
of a serious health problem.
DEAR ABBY: My son has two
children who are in temporary
foster care, and has visitation
with the exs stepsister, who
got the right to grant visitation.
Recently we had a birthday party
for them. All the grandparents,
aunts and uncles were invited. It
was a kiddie party, of course, and
I jumped into the pool and played
with the children. We had a ball!
A few weeks later, I heard the
stepsisters mother had said I had
no business playing in the pool
with the kids. I was taken aback.
Isnt that what grandmas are for?
I love playing with the little ones.

Sellers turned to
comedy during war
by Gary Clothier
Q:
Did
Peter
Sellers break into
show business as a
funnyman? -- K.M.,
Brady, Texas
A: No. Sellers'
parents were both
vaudeville performers
who took their son on
the road with them.
By age 16, he was
touring as a jazz band
drummer. In 1943,
he was drafted into
the British Royal Air
Force and spent his
war years playing
in the RAF band,
which is when he
started doing comedy
sketches.
After
the
war,
Sellers
became
a
sought-after
radio
performer. In 1951,
he had his own radio
program called The
Goon
Show.
In
1963, he achieved
an
international
reputation
with
the release of Dr.
Strangelove.
The
following year, he
appeared in the first
of five Pink Panther
films. He was 54
when he died of a
heart attack on July
24, 1980.
Q: I know the
Wright Brothers flew
their plane at Kitty
Hawk, N.C., but what
was the name of the
plane? -- I.L., Rome,
N.Y.
A: On Dec. 17,
1903, the Wright
Brothers successfully
flew the first sustained
powered flights in
a
heavier-than-air
machine called the
Wright Flyer.
Q: According to a
biography of Jackie
Gleason, he starred as
Chester A. Riley on
the TV show "The Life
of Riley." I thought
William
Bendix
played that role. Is
there something I'm
missing? -- C.H.Z.,
Montpelier, Vt.
A: There is -- about
four years. "The Life
of Riley" started out
on radio in 1944,
with William Bendix
voicing the lead role.
In 1949, the show,
starring
Gleason,
was brought to TV.
Though the show
won an Emmy, it
was dropped after 26
weeks. In 1953, the
program returned to
TV with a whole new
cast, this time starring
Bendix. The show
lasted five years.
Q: Was Tennessee
Williams born in that
state? Is that his given
name? -- E.J., Mesa,
Ariz.
A: Thomas Lanier
Williams
(19111983) was born in
Mississippi.
His
father was born in
Tennessee.

GREEN
Two Delphos students
who attended the American
Legion Buckeye Boys State
held in June at Bowling
Green State University
served in appointed and
elected offices.
Carter Mox from Jefferson
High School served as state
auditor. Logan Hesseling
from St. Johns High School
served as senator.
Buckeye Boys State is
a 9-day hands-on experience in the operation of the
Democratic form of government, the organization of
political parties and the relationship of one to the other
in shaping Ohio Government.
Founded in 1936, Buckeye
Boys State is the largest Boys
State program in the nation
with an attendance of 1,300
young men annually. Through
the Boys State goal of learning by doing, young men
learn about city, county, and
state government through a
non-partisan objective education approach.
Regulators set rules meant

to ward off bank crisis
WASHINGTON (AP) Federal regulators are requiring big banks to keep enough
high-quality assets on hand to survive during a severe downturn, the latest move
under congressional mandate to lessen the
likelihood of another financial meltdown.
The Federal Reserve adopted rules on a
5-0 vote Wednesday that will subject big U.S.
banks for the first time to so-called liquidity
requirements. Liquidity is the ability to access
cash quickly. The Federal Deposit Insurance
Corp. and the Treasury Departments Office
of the Comptroller of the Currency adopted
the rules later in the day.
Comptroller Thomas Curry, who also
is a member of the FDIC board, said the
new requirements will help ensure that
a banking organizations cash resources,
and not taxpayers money, will provide
the support necessary for it to withstand
short-term funding stress.
At a meeting of the Fed governors,
Chair Janet Yellen called the rules a very
important regulation that will serve to
strengthen the resilience of internationally
active banking firms.
The 15 largest banks those with
more than $250 billion in assets will
have to hold enough cash, government
bonds and other high-quality assets to
fund operations for 30 days during a time
of market stress. Smaller banks those
with more than $50 billion but less than

$250 billion in assets will have to keep
enough to cover 21 days. Banks with less
than $50 billion in assets and nonbank
financial firms deemed by regulators as
posing a potential threat to the system will
not be subject to the requirements.
Separately, regulators also are proposing to give banks leeway in requiring
collateral from companies that use derivatives to guard against price swings.
The liquidity rules for banks will begin
to take effect in January, and the requirements will be phased in over two years.
Fed officials say the rules are stronger
than new international standards for banks.
Combined, the largest banks will have to
hold an estimated $2.5 trillion in highquality assets to meet the requirements.
The banks already hold all but about $100
billion of that amount, according to the
Fed. Banks have sharply improved their
cash-ready holdings in the past few years,
and about 70 percent now meet the full
requirement, the Fed estimates.
The requirements were called for by
Congress in the sweeping overhaul law
responding to the 2008 financial crisis.
They are part of new regulations intended
to prevent another collapse severe enough
to require taxpayer-funded bailouts and
threaten the broader financial system.

Obama vows unyielding

commitment to Baltic allies
TALLINN, Estonia (AP) -- President Barack Obama on
Wednesday harshly condemned Russian aggression in Ukraine
as a threat to peace in Europe and pledged that NATO will protect allies who fear they will be Moscow's next target. Standing
on Russia's doorstep, Obama declared "this is a moment of
testing" for the Western alliance to stand up to the Kremlin.
At the same time, the Pentagon announced that 200 U.S.
soldiers would participate in an exercise in western Ukraine
starting next week. Though largely a symbolic move, distant
from the conflict with Russian-backed separatists, it would
mark the first presence of American ground troops in Ukraine
since the crisis began.
Obama's tough words set the stage for a pivotal summit of
the 28-nation NATO alliance beginning today in Wales. For
years, Moscow seethed as NATO expanded its membership
and pushed its reach to Russia's borders, encompassing former
republics of the Soviet Union. The backlash from Moscow was
a long time coming, but now Vladimir Putin seems determined
to assert Russia's role as a great power.
Obama offered no new prescriptions for solving the central conflict that has put Eastern Europe on edge: Russia's
months-long incursion in Ukraine. Multiple rounds of U.S.
and European economic sanctions have done little to shift
Putin's tactics, and Obama remains staunchly opposed to U.S.
military intervention. Unlike the Baltics and other Eastern
European nations, Ukraine is not a member of NATO, meaning the U.S. and other allies have no treaty obligation to come
to its defense.
A new prospect of a cease-fire emerged shortly after Obama
arrived in Tallinn. But any potential agreement quickly fizzled
when pro-Moscow separatists rejected the move and Russia
-- which has denied affiliation with the rebels -- said it was
not in a position to agree to the cease-fire because it was not a
party to the conflict.

decades in prison in girl's killing
Slain US journalist was also an Israeli citizen

JULIE PACE
Associated Press
JERUSALEM Israel confirmed on Wednesday that slain
American journalist Steven Sotloff was also an Israeli citizen,
while President Barack Obama vowed to build a coalition to
degrade and destroy the extremist group that carried out the
videotaped beheading.
Sotloffs Jewish faith and Israeli citizenship were not widely known before his death in part because Israels military
censor apparently kept a lid on the story for his safety and
his killers may not have known about his background either,
since they made no mention of Jews or Israel in the footage
released Tuesday.
Sotloff, a 31-year-old from suburban Miami who free-
lanced for Time and Foreign Policy magazines before he was

captured in Syria a year ago, became the second American
newsman to be beheaded by Islamic State militants in two
weeks, killed in retribution for U.S. airstrikes against the
group.
The video horrified Americans and journalists around the
world and touched a nerve in Israel, where news that Sotloff
had connections to the country dominated newscasts and
brought condolences from Israelis who knew the Miami-area
native.
Steve was part of a group of young Jewish Americans who
are enamored with Israel and enamored with the Arab world,
said Ehud Yaari, an Arab affairs commentator for Israeli
Channel 2 who met Sotloff. They were dying to know and
enter all the dangerous places, and thats how he behaved.
Inflation
Again, factors other than the health
care law seem to be involved. For
example, employers have significantly
increased deductibles and copayments,
so working families must pay more out
of their own pockets when they use
medical care.
The report was published online by

the journal Health Affairs.
Among other findings:
Medicare and Medicaid will drive
costs from 2016-2023, with average
annual increases of 7.3 percent and 6.8
percent respectively. For Medicare, its
partly due to the retirement of the babyboom generation, while Medicaid will
see higher use of services by elderly

and disabled beneficiaries.
The federal, state and local government share of health care spending will keep steadily rising, from 44
percent in 2012 to 48 percent in 2023.
The share of costs covered by businesses will decline from 21 percent to
19 percent.
