BUNGE contains sulfuric acid spill

BY NANCY SPENCER
DHI Media Editor
nspencer@delphosherald.com
DELPHOS A sulfuric
acid spill at BUNGE North
America Wednesday morning
kept local and area emergency
response personnel busy for
several hours.
According to BUNGE
Director of Communications
Deb Seidel, approximately 175
gallons of sulfuric acid spilled
when a container slipped from
a tow motor in the agribusiness and food ingredient companys parking lot off South
Clay Street shortly before 11
a.m.
An employee was moving
the container and it shifted
and toppled over, Seidel said.
We immediately started our
own spill response and notified the authorities.

ELIDA While making his report at Tuesday nights

meeting, Mayor Kim Hardy presented the Elida Village
Council with what he referred to as a bit of Christmas
cheer.
Trihalomethane, a contaminant in potable water and,
ironically, a by-product of the chlorination process used to
treat drinking water, has proven a constant source of concern
for the village. Ohio Environmental Protection Agency mandates concerning the contaminant have frequently forced the
village to issue written warnings about its elevated presence
along with residents water bills.
However, a system designed and implemented by the
villages water superintendent, Mike Suever, appears to be
affecting the problem. So much so, in fact, that the familiar
warning notice was unnecessary in this latest billing cycle.
Hardy remarked that testing revealed a nearly 35-percent
decrease in the presence of the contaminant in water received
from the City of Lima after the treatment process was implemented.
Im thrilled with it, Hardy said. It shows that it does
work; it will aid us in trying to keep the trihalomethanes
down in our system.
Although a home-grown remedy, the process received
a stamp of approval from the villages engineering firm and
was accepted by the OEPA. Should the process continue to
provide similar effects in the future, it stands to save the village a considerable amount of capital. At present, costs for
the process have yet to exceed $40,000, roughly one-tenth of
what the village could have spent, as estimated by the OEPA.
Well watch it, but to me its a good indication that its
going to at least help us considerably, Hardy said.

DELPHOS Library
employees will see a 1.8-percent base pay increase and
some will see a 1-percent merit
raise following an executive
session by the Delphos Public
Library Board of Trustees on
Wednesday.
The board addressed an
otherwise light agenda with
Director Kelly Rists items
highlighting the afternoon.
All the tree trimming is
done and the stumps will be
removed once the ground
freezes so the yard isnt rutted by the equipment, Rist
said. There is one tree with

a white mark on it. That was
marked by American Electric
for trimming.
Rist also said the two new
boilers came online Tuesday
and working well.
The
library
recently received a $1,200
Deinstberger
Foundation
Grant for a new digital message board to be placed on
the library lawn and Rist said
coverage by the local newspaper has spurred two additional estimates for the sign
from local companies.
We are gathering quite
a few estimates and well
have a lot to work with, Rist
added.
The board also agreed to
the annual retire/rehire of custodian Norb Renner. Renners
service now runs from Jan.
1-Dec. 31, 2015.
In Rists report, monthly
circulation in November
was up 3,135 and circulation to-date was up 16,950
from this time in 2013. The
average daily circulation for
November was up 202.

Jobless rate for men AAA sponsoring

Holiday Happy Hours
increases to 5.4%
BY STEPHANIE GROVES
DHI Media Staff Writer
sgroves@delphosherald.com
The Bureau of Labor and Statistics reports
in November 2013, the unemployment rate
held at 5.8 percent and the number of unemployed persons held at 9.1 million. Over
the course of the year, the unemployment
rate decreased by 1.2 percent or 1.7 million
people/jobs.
Among the major worker groups, the
unemployment rate for adult men 20 years
and older rose to 5.4 percent last month, a
.3-percent increase from October 2014 and a
1.3-percent decrease from November 2013.
Novembers unemployment figures for those
25 years and older with less than a high
school diploma decreased by 2.1 percent as
compared to the 10.6 percent rate for that age
group one year ago.
The report also reflects these unemployment statistics:
adult women (20 years and older), 5.3
percent;
teenagers (16-19 years old), 17.7 percent;
whites, 4.9 percent;
blacks, 11.1 percent;
Hispanics, 6.6 percent; and
Asians, 4.8 percent.
Statistics from Generation Opportunitys
(GenOp) November Millennial Jobs Report
indicates the effective unemployment rate for
18-29 year olds - which adjusts for labor force
participation by including those who have
given up looking for work - is 14.5 percent,
down .2 percent from Octobers figure of 14.7
percent.
Director of Outreach at Generation
Opportunity, Patrice Lee said its always
encouraging to hear about people getting back

to work.
Its important to remember that young people are still suffering out there and we still have
a long way to go to rebuild the kind of dynamic
economy that will allow my generation to create and innovate, she said. Last month the
American people and young people in particular told Washington that we believe far more
in our own ability to create opportunities for
ourselves than we do in government-centric
solutions to grow the economy.
The unemployment rate for the Millennia
has remained constant at 9 percent the
past two months - 1.1 percent lower than
Septembers rate.
The declining labor force participation rate
has created an additional 1.871 million young
adults that are not counted as unemployed
by the U.S. Department of Labor because they
are not in the labor force, meaning they have
given up looking for work due to the lack of
jobs.
GenOps report also shows:
The effective unemployment rate for
18-29-year-old African-Americans is 21.4
percent and the unemployment rate is 16.1
percent;
18-29-year-old Hispanics is 15.1 percent and
the unemployment rate is 9 percent;
18-29-year-old women is 12.3 percent and the
unemployment rate is 8.7 percent.
As people reflect on what economists
are deeming a good month for job creation,
we shouldnt forget about the 14.5 percent of
young people who are still out of work, Lee
proposed. Lets build a better future for all
of us.

Heartbeat abortion bill fails
COLUMBUS (AP) A bill that would impose some of

the nations most stringent abortion restrictions has failed in
the Ohio House.
Representatives voted 47-40 on the so-called heartbeat
bill, falling short of the 50 votes needed for passage.
The legislation would prohibit most abortions after the first
detectable heartbeat, or as early as six weeks into pregnancy.
Similar measures have faced legal challenges elsewhere.
The divisive measure passed the House last session but
died in the Ohio Senate. It failed to get traction in this General
Assembly until last month, when a GOP-led House Health
Committee passed the bill after several emotional hours of
testimony and debate.
Common Core repeal maneuver fails
once and so could not technically be amended

again. That prevented Adams from being
successful, with House Speaker William
Batchelder ruling his proposed change out
of order.
Adams and other Common Core opponents
had hoped to pass legislation this session
repealing and replacing the standards. With
the Senate expected to adjourn today, that
effort appears dead.
Consumers can find options during

open enrollment for health insurance
INFORMATION
SUBMITTED
New choices and more
competition in the Health
Insurance Marketplace are
giving Ohio consumers
affordable options during
Open Enrollment this year,
and the majority of returning consumers who shop can
save money on premiums,
according to a report released
by the Department of Health
and Human Services (HHS).
With 25 percent more
issuers participating in the
Marketplace in 2015, based
on analysis of 35 states, more
than 90 percent of consumers
nationwide will be able to
choose from three or more
issuersup from 74 percent
in 2014. In Ohio, consumers
can choose from 16 issuers
in the Marketplace in 2015
up from 12 in 2014. Ohio
consumers can choose from
an average of 54 health plans
in their county for 2015 coverage up from 30 in 2014.
Nearly 8 in 10 current
Marketplace consumers can
find coverage in the 2015
Marketplace for $100 or less,
taking into account any applicable tax credits. In 2014, 85
percent of Ohio consumers
who selected a Marketplace
plan received financial assistance. For returning customers, it pays to shop.
More than 7 in 10 current
Marketplace enrollees can find
a lower premium plan in the
same metal levelbefore tax
creditsby returning to shop.
If all returning consumers
switched from their current plan
to the lowest-cost premium plan
in the same metal level, the total
savings in premiums would be

over $2 billion.
The Health Insurance
Marketplace is open for business, and Ohio consumers
have affordable choices for
renewing their coverage and
signing up for the first time,
said HHS Secretary Sylvia
M. Burwell. In todays
Marketplace, issuers are competing for business. With additional quality, affordable plans
available, returning Ohio customers may find an even better deal if they shop and save.
A recent report finds that
premiums for the secondlowest cost, or benchmark,
silver plan held stable in Ohio
for 2015 coverage, with a
2-percent increase on average
before tax credits. Nationally,
premiums for the second-lowest cost, or benchmark, silver
plan also held stable for 2015
coverage, with only a modest
2-percent increase on average
before tax credits in 35 states.
Many consumers will be eligible for tax credits to help with
the cost of monthly premiums.
Before the Affordable
Care Act, people who purchased health insurance plans
in the individual market
often saw double-digit rate
increases on average, with
very limited options for shopping around because plans
could deny them coverage,
or charge them higher rates
based on pre-existing conditions or their gender. This
year, consumers have the
option to renew their current
plan or shop around to select
the plan that best meets their
needs and their budget. And
with the new window shopping tool at HealthCare.gov,
its easier than ever.

Open Enrollment in the
Marketplace is going on
now through Feb. 15, 2015.
Consumers should visit
HealthCare.gov to review and
compare health plan options.
All consumers shopping for
health insurance coverage for
2015even those who currently have coverage through
the Marketplaceshould enroll
or re-enroll by Monday in order
to have coverage effective on
Jan. 1, 2015.
The report reflects individual market health plan premium data for 35 states. It does
not include Oregon or Nevada,
which are using the federal eligibility and enrollment
platform this year, and other
State-based Marketplaces.
Findings are presented at the
county level, rather than by
rating area, to better reflect
plan service areas and the consumer experience.

ACRE brings several policy innovations

BY JAMES HOORMAN
Putnam County Extension Ag Educator
news@delphosherald.com
The new farm bill is more complex and farmers will need
to understand it to make good decisions.
Zulauf et al 2014 in Choice Magazine explains the difference between DCP+ML and ACRE options:
Under the old farm bill, the direct payment program paid
farmers a fixed dollar amount per historical base acre. This
dollar amount does not change with market prices or with
production on the farm. Like direct payments, countercyclical payments are based on historical production. In contrast,
marketing loan payments are based on current production.
Both the countercyclical and marketing loan programs are
pricebased programs and create a floor or lower bound as
payments are triggered when market price drops below them.
The creation of a floor reflects the policy objective of traditional price support programs, which is to assist farmers with
managing low market prices that extend over a long period of
years. The combination of direct payment, countercyclical,
and marketing loan programs will be referred to as acronym
DCP+ML.
In contrast, ACREs policy objective is to assist farmers
with managing the systemic risk of a decline in revenue of a
crop over a short period of years. Revenue is defined as U.S.

ping payments and for farm programs to reduce the incentive

to buy crop insurance. ACREs farm revenue benchmark
includes crop insurance premiums, thus providing an incentive to buy crop insurance. In addition, capping the state revenue payment at 25 percent of the state revenue guarantee is
an attempt to minimize double payments from crop insurance
and ACRE because farmers commonly buy crop insurance
with a 75 percent or lower coverage level.
For farmers making a decision on participation in ACRE, a
key question will be: Does the ACRE suite of farm programs
provide revenue to fill the gap in years when actual farm revenue is significantly below average farm revenue? Adding
the crop insurance premium to a farms revenue benchmark
increases the revenue benchmark, and thus increases the
chance of receiving a payment from ACRE. The impact of
adding the insurance premium is usually minimal, although
the insurance premium increases relative to the crops revenue
per acre. Neither ACRE nor DCP+ML are substitutes for crop
insurance.
For most farmers, a central question will frame their decision regarding ACRE: Over the period of participation, does
ACRE improve the management of revenue risk relative to
current programs enough to compensate for the 20-percent
reduction in direct payments and 30-percent reduction in loan
rates? Our analysis finds that ACRE generally provides larger expected average annual total revenue and smaller variation
in total revenue. The differences can be small and if prices
and revenue continue to increase, the current traditional programs (DCP +ML) will provide higher payments than ACRE
because of ACREs 20-percent reduction in direct payments.

In summary, ACRE has several policy innovations: (1)
ACREs target is revenue not price, (2) ACREs revenue guarwww.edwardjones.com

receive an ACRE payment, and (4) ACRE is partially coordinated with crop insurance.

price times state yield. ACREs policy objective is implemented by establishing the following revenue guarantee for
each state and crop combinations (Ohio crops are barley, corn,
oats, pulse crops, sorghum, soybeans and other oilseeds, and
wheat):
(90%) x (2year moving average of U.S. crop year cash
price) x (5year Olympic moving average [excludes high and
low values] of state yield per planted acre)
A state revenue payment is triggered for a given crop and
year when actual state revenue (state yield per planted acre
times U.S. crop year price) is less than the states ACRE revenue guarantee. This difference is the states ACRE payment
rate. For any crop in any year, the payment rate cannot exceed
25 percent of the crops state revenue guarantee. The ACRE
state revenue program has several important departures from
DCP+ML:
ACREs target is revenue not price. Revenue is more
closely related to financial position and risk than price because
revenue includes both price and yield.
ACREs revenue target is not fixed; it changes with
U.S. prices and state yields.
A farm level revenue loss condition must be met for a
farm to receive an ACRE payment. This requirement is an
attempt to address the concern that a farm can receive marketing loan and countercyclical payments even when it has
aboveaverage revenue.
ACRE is partially coordinated with crop insurance.
Historically, farm support and crop insurance programs have
been enacted independently, creating the potential for overlap-

Are Alabama, Oregon, Florida State and Ohio State the
four best teams in college football this year and deserve to
be in college footballs version of the Final Four?
As an OSU homer, I agree with them being included.
I give Them credit for doing what they told us they
would last week: wait and see what the Buckeyes did
against Wisconsin in the Big 10/14 Title Game with their
third-team quarterback and judge accordingly.
A lot of Buckeye partisans were pretty sure that wasnt
going to happen and wed get nipped at the end, finishing
fifth.
I, for one, and I probably speak for ALL of Buckeye
Nation in writing that no one expected that kind of dominant performance.
That was totally beyond even our wildest dreams and
I think the committee really saw how good the Buckeyes
can be.

IRVING, Texas NFL owners moved quickly and unanimously

Wednesday to change the leagues personal conduct policy. Now the question
is how, or whether, the players union
responds.
The league announced it will hire a
special counsel for investigations and
conduct to oversee initial discipline
but Commissioner Roger Goodell will
retain authority to rule on appeals. The
commissioner also may appoint a panel
of independent experts to participate in
appeals.
Amid questions over his handling of
domestic violence cases involving Ray
Rice and Adrian Peterson, the union
wants Goodell removed entirely from
the disciplinary process. The players
believe any changes to the personal
conduct policy should be part of labor
negotiations.
Asked whether he anticipated a challenge from the union, Goodell deferred
to NFL general counsel Jeff Pash, who
replied the owners decision was entirely consistent with the collective bargaining agreement.
I dont know whether the union will
challenge it or not but weve given it a

lot of thought. And I would hope they

dont challenge. Wed be happy to sit
down with them again tomorrow if they
wanted to have some further conversations about it. I dont think theres any
need for legal challenges.
The union has sought negotiations
with the NFL on any revamping of the
policy and said Tuesday it would
reserve the right to take any
and all actions should the owners act unilaterally. The union
could consider the vote by owners a violation of the collective
bargaining agreement reached in
2011, giving the union cause to
file a grievance.
Among the unions options is
pursuing an unfair labor practice charge
with the National Labor Relations
Board. The players could argue this
policy is a change in terms and conditions of employment; the National
Labor Relations Act says such changes
in unionized situations are subject to
collective bargaining.
Our union has not been offered
the professional courtesy of seeing the
NFLs new personal conduct policy
before it hit the presses, the union wrote
in a statement issued after Wednesdays
vote. Their unilateral decision and con-
duct today is the only thing that has been

consistent over the past few months.
Seattle cornerback Richard Sherman
reiterated criticisms from other players
Wednesday that the NFL was making
things up as they go along by not pursuing policy changes through collective
bargaining.
You would think, you would
hope anything having to do with
the players and especially discipline and things like that players
would have some say so in the
policy, Sherman said. At least
something we could agree on,
everybody is comfortable with,
but obviously that isnt what
they saw fit.
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said he
was aware of a lot of the things that the
union is an advocate of.
This differs in some respects. At the
end of the day, were all trying to do the
same thing. Were trying to influence
and diminish domestic violence.
After the Rice and Peterson cases, a
more extensive list of prohibited conduct will be included in the policy, as
well as specific criteria for paid leave
for anyone charged with a violent crime.

Scherzer could be seeking

more than Kershaw
By RONALD BLUM
Associated Press
SAN DIEGO Clayton Kershaw is considered the top pitcher in baseball, with three
Cy Young Awards in four years for the Los
Angeles Dodgers, an NL Most Valuable Player
award and a $215 million, 7-year contract.
Max Scherzer may be seeking an even bigger deal as his talks on the free-agent market
move forward.
Im not sure Kershaw is relevant, agent Scott Boras said
Wednesday at the winter meetings,
because hes not a free agent.
Jon Lester became the first top-level, freeagent starting pitcher to reach an agreement
this offseason, a $155 million, 6-year deal
with the Chicago Cubs that came together late
Tuesday night.
Scherzer turned down an offer from Detroit
last March that would have paid $144 million from 2015-20. Kershaw has the largest
contract for a pitcher in both total dollars has
the sports highest average salary at $30.7
million.
The prominent pitchers that have signed,
(Justin) Verlander or (Felix) Hernandez or
Kershaw, were not free-agent players, Boras

said. And certainly if you put a performance
like Kershaw into a free-agent market, youre
going to get a much, much different calibration of value.
Scherzers negotiations figure to stretch on
for weeks or even into next year.
But other players were on the move or
close to switching teams.
In trade talks, the Dodgers were trying to
acquire shortstop Jimmy Rollins from
Philadelphia and send All-Star second
baseman Dee Gordon and right-hander Dan Haren to Miami. The Phillies
started retooling by dealing left-handed reliever Antonio Bastardo to Pittsburgh for
minor-league lefty Joely Rodriguez.
Among free agents, Houston agreed to
an $18.5 million, 3-year contract with Luke
Gregerson and a $12.5 million, 2-year deal
with Pat Neshek, people familiar with
the negotiations said, speaking on condition of anonymity because the deals with
the right-handed relievers were subject to
physicals.
And the Chicago White Sox finalized a
$46 million, 4-year contract with closer David
Robertson.
Manziel moves into

starters role with Browns
By TOM WITHERS
Associated Press
BEREA Johnny Manziel seemed a little taller. Not in height but

definitely in stature.
The playmaking, headline-making, love-him-or-hate-him sensation
who has spent the majority of his rookie season as an orange-helmeted
spectator, Manziel is now the Browns starting quarterback No. 2 is
No. 1.
And just like when he was college footballs most electrifying player,
Manziel is again in the spotlight and not scrambling away. As he prepares
for his debut start Sunday against Cincinnati, Manziel said the pro version of Johnny Football is new.
I dont think youre going to see the Johnny that you saw at Texas
A&M because this isnt Texas A&M, he said Wednesday following his
Manziel
first practice as a starter. This is a different point in my life. Im a different person than I was.
Hes been a different quarterback since Monday, when Browns coach Mike Pettine informed
the 22-year-old Manziel that he was benching struggling starter Brian Hoyer after a 4-game
funk. Pettine nearly made the move last week but stuck with Hoyer because he had gotten the
Browns (7-6) into playoff contention.
Pettines counting on Manziel to keep his team there.

New look for Franklin

Templeton Shootout
Associated Press
NAPLES, Fla. The Franklin Templeton Shootout has had
a makeover.
Greg Normans tournament has a new format, course look
and TV partner and will run from today-Saturday instead of
Friday-Sunday.
After Matt Kuchar and Harris English took the suspense out
of the final round last year by shooting a record 34-under 182
and winning by seven shots, Norman and tournament officials
tweaked the format order from modified alternate shot, better
ball and scramble to scramble, modified alternate shot and
better ball.
I completely understand the idea that the scramble format,
theres not a whole lot of separation that happens, Kuchar
said. You dont get the big differences in scores. The best ball,
you might have guys go 2-under to 12-under, or even better.
For the first time, Fox Sports is getting into the golf business. Norman will join Joe Buck in the broadcast booth. They
also will work the U.S. Open this summer.
Fox will employ 73 microphones, 24 cameras, 10 replay
machines, seven broadcasters and five audio mixers for the
tournament.
The switch to Fox forced the Saturday finish. After
Saturdays broadcast, Buck will fly to Seattle to work the
Seahawks game against the San Francisco 49ers.
Norman calls the broadcasting venture one of the top five
things he has done in his life.
I think going in Ill be as nervous as I was walking the first
tee at Augusta National and teeing it up for the first time, he
added.
With several greens showing early signs of disease, both
of the Norman-designed Tiburon courses will be used. The
front nine will start on Tiburons Black course, using holes 1-7
and 17, 18. Closing holes Nos. 13-18 will remain the same on
Tiburons Gold course.
English and Kuchar are teaming again in the 12-team field.
The other pairings are: Ian Poulter-Billy Horschel, Graeme
McDowell-Gary Woodland, Keegan Bradley-Camilo Villegas,
Jason Day-Cameron Tringale, Patrick Reed-Brandt Snedeker,
Ryan Palmer-Jimmy Walker, Jerry Kelly-Steve Stricker, Sean
OHair-Kenny Perry, Retief Goosen-Mike Weir, Charles
Howell III-Scott Verplank and Justin Leonard-Rory Sabbatini.
Unassuming Mariota puts

up brag-worthy season
Associated Press
About the flashiest thing quarterback
Marcus Mariota has done off the field all
season is wear a T-shirt boldly emblazoned with the word Success.
His showy moments have instead
come during games for the playoffbound Oregon Ducks: His touchdown
flip against Wyoming, a creative onthe-run shovel pass against Michigan
State, or a perfectly faked handoff for
a keeper in the Pac-12 championship
game against Arizona.
Spartans coach Mark Dantonio
summed it up: Mariota is an outstanding quarterback. What he does is lead.
What he shows is toughness. And what
he does is create.
Like Dantonio, all of Oregon and
Mariotas opponents this season became
big fans.
Hes tough to contain. You put pressure on him and he doesnt feel it. He
escapes the pocket, throws the ball down
the field, Stanford coach David Shaw
said after Mariota and the Ducks routed
the Cardinal 45-16 this season, summing
up: Hes special.
Mariota goes into Saturdays Heisman
Trophy ceremony as the clear front runner. Heres how he did it: Mariota set a
Pac-12 record this season with 53 total
touchdowns, including a school-record
38 via pass, 14 keepers and one TD
reception. He leads the nation with 10
games of four or more touchdowns this
season. His 38 touchdown passes are
also an Oregon record.
Overall, Mariota has thrown for an
Oregon record 3,783 yards and just
two interceptions, and hes the Ducks
second-leading rusher with 669 yards.
The mobile junior from Hawaii has
thrown for at least one touchdown in
each of the first 39 games hes played
in at Oregon, an FBS-level record. Hes
only lost four games as Oregons starter.
He has set seven different career and
season Oregon records and his 129 total
touchdowns to date surpassed former
Trojan Matt Barkleys previous Pac-12
career record of 122.
Hes so good. Somebody was talking to me the other day about how easy
he makes it look sometimes. What hes
doing is really difficult. His decisionmaking, competitiveness, his command

over then-No. 7 Michigan State.
And although the Ducks would lose 31-24
to Arizona back on Oct. 2, Mariota got creative
to start the second quarter when he handed off
Freeman, who lobbed the ball back to Mariota for
a 28-yard touchdown.
HELL LOSE VOTES FOR:
Its just not in Mariotas nature to promote
himself. So it really came as no surprise when he
was consulted about a Heisman Trophy campaign
remember the Ducks went all out with the
Times Square Joey Heisman billboard for Joey
Harrington in 2001 and he said he didnt want
Oregon to do anything. I didnt really want all that
attention, he added. Im glad they were kind of
able to accept that and respect that decision.
He may be downgraded for his turnover on
what would turn out to be Oregons final drive
in the loss to Arizona. Pac-12 Defensive Player
of the Year Scooby Wright sacked Mariota and
stripped him of the ball for a turnover with 2:11 to
play to seal the Wildcats upset.
NFL PROSPECTS:
to The Associated Press. Both parties stated they

did not want to file charges at the scene.
Ohio has a policy of preferred arrest, which
means an officer can make an arrest if theres
reasonable grounds to believe a crime has been
committed, said Nancy Neylon, executive director
of the Ohio Domestic Violence Network. Other
states have mandatory arrest standards.
Barrett set Ohio State records for touchdown
passes and total offense before breaking his
ankle in the Buckeyes regular-season finale
against Michigan. He is out for the Jan. 1 national
semifinal against Alabama in the Sugar Bowl.
Ohio State football team spokesman Jerry
Emig said Wednesday he didnt anticipate coach
Urban Meyer commenting on the situation.

MADISON, Wis. Wisconsin running back
and Heisman Trophy finalist Melvin Gordon made
it official Wednesday, skipping his senior season
to enter the NFL draft.
Unlike the departure of coach Gary Andersen
for Oregon State, this move was expected in
Madison.
Gordon has run for a Big Ten record 2,336
yards going into the Outback Bowl on Jan. 1,
when the 17th-ranked Badgers will face No. 19
Auburn.
When asked on the Dan Patrick radio show

The fourth-year

Despite nearly a third of

And Cleveland has done the

With Joe Haden guarding

games combined, both losses.
Most recently, the Browns

apparently, others) on his own.

It always kills me that in articles like
this, the person under fire always wishes
it had been handled differently or that the
people in question (the FS, in this case)
would have been notified before it went
public as if the proverbial Not Me

Duh you were the one that was

Apparently, the situation has brought consternation to NCAA President Mark Emmert.

have yet to see mentioned
is a community-based arts
organization.
Someone who is musically
inclined might look for a local
band, orchestra or community
chorus. But Id like to put in
a word for community theater.
A person doesnt have to be a
performer; these groups need
people to build sets, make
costumes, locate props, run the
backstage operations during
a performance, etc. In the
front of the house, they need
people for promotion, selling
tickets, ushering and soliciting
donations from sponsors.
I met my husband of
30-plus years through a
community theater group,
and know of several other
long-term marriages that
came about the same way.
Im a seamstress, so I have
made my share of costumes.
But I have also learned how
to frame a wall and build a
staircase while working on
set construction.

DEAR DESPERATE: If
you love your wife and dont

accept that you are going
to have to accommodate to
some degree her insufferable
daughter and son-in-law.
This does not mean you must
love them or even enjoy

working out a compromise
that includes spending some
time with them.
You and your wife are
not joined at the hip. Every

you. Take up some hobbies
you can enjoy on your own.

where they are concerned. If
you do, you wont force your

You can reduce blood-pressure

medication through lifestyle changes
DEAR DOCTOR K: Is it possible to get off
blood pressure-lowering medication through
diet and exercise?
DEAR READER: Yes, it is. Ive seen many
patients commit to lifestyle changes and get off
blood-pressure medicines entirely. More often,
Ive seen that a commitment to a healthier
lifestyle allows people to greatly reduce how
much medication they take, even though they
still need some medicines to control their blood
pressure.
While many people, myself included, would
like to not have to take medicines at all, being
able to reduce the dose is a big deal. Many of
the side effects of medicines are reduced or
eliminated by reducing the dose.
Regular exercise is one of the best ways to
reduce high blood pressure. Still, its important
to talk to your doctor before starting a new
exercise program. If you are taking certain
blood pressure medications, you may have
to take extra precautions when you exercise.
For example, thiazide diuretics slightly lower
blood volume, so you may be more prone to
dehydration with exercise.
Aerobic exercise, which boosts your heart
rate and breathing, is best for lowering blood
pressure. Aim to do 30 minutes or more of
moderate-intensity activity on most days of the
week. Brisk walking, jogging and swimming
are all good activities.
Some resistance training is fine, but dont
strain. Do more repetitions at lighter weights to
prevent temporary blood pressure spikes.
Many of my patients have started exercise
programs to lose weight. But if they didnt lose
weight, they stopped. They thought the only
value in exercise was losing weight. They didnt

DEAR ALWAYS BUSY:
I love your suggestion. Not
everyone is meant to be in
front of the footlights, but that
doesnt mean one cant be
an important member of the
team. And community theater
is definitely a team effort.
DEAR ABBY: I find my
wifes daughter and son-inlaw, who live nearby, to be
very unlikable. Her daughter
is gossipy, arrogant, smug
and superficial. The husband
is ill-mannered, devoid of
social skills, lazy, impossible
to carry on a normal
conversation with and, worst
of all, a liar.
Naturally, I am expected to
see them often, and the more
I am around them, the less I
like them. This has become
apparent to my wife. We have
had more than a few spirited
discussions about it, which
I view as a real threat to the
long-term well-being of our

sake to overlook their major

realize that exercise produces enormous health
benefits. Regular exercise lowers a persons risk
of heart disease and stroke, diabetes and many
common types of cancer.
Good nutrition can help lower blood pressure.
A blood pressure-friendly diet includes plenty
of fruits, vegetables and whole grains; several
servings daily of low-fat dairy products; some
fish, poultry, dried beans, nuts and seeds; and
minimal red meat, sweets and sugary beverages.
Limit your salt intake to no more than 2,300
milligrams (mg) of sodium a day.
You should also aim to:
-- Attain and maintain a healthy weight.
Exercise alone can help drop your blood
pressure, and so can weight loss alone, by
reducing your calories. But the combination
of regular exercise and weight loss is more
powerful than either alone.
-- Limit alcohol. No more than one drink a
day for a woman and two drinks a day for a man.
-- Stress less. Relaxation techniques such as
meditation, deep breathing and yoga can help
relieve stress.
Lifestyle changes can have a powerful
beneficial effect in lowering your blood pressure
and the risk of diseases worsened by high blood
pressure -- particularly heart disease and stroke.
This is not sanctimonious preaching: Its solid
science.

Q: On The Flinstones, what were
Wilma and Bettys maiden names? -- N.B.,
Harrisonburg, Va.
A: Wilmas maiden name is Slaghoople;
however, during at least one episode, several
friends remember her as Wilma Pebble. Fans of
the show seem to accept the inconsistency and
recognize Slaghoople as her maiden name. As
for Mrs. Rubble, she was known as Betty Jean
McBricker before tying the knot with Barney.
Q: What is the real name of former Seinfeld
star, Julia Louis-Dreyfus?
When and where was she
born? -- N.L., Flagstaff,
Ariz.
A: Her real name? Its
Julie Louis-Dreyfus. She
was born on Fri., Jan. 13,
1961, in New York City but
was raised in Washington,
D.C. Louis-Dreyfus studied
theater at Northwestern
Julia LouisUniversity. She worked
Dreyfus
with several comedy groups
and landed a job with Saturday Night Live
in 1982. She married SNL writer Brad Hall,
who she knew in college, in 1987. She made
her movie debut in 1986 in the Woody Allen
film Hannah and Her Sisters. On Seinfeld,
she played the role of Elaine Benes, the exgirlfriend of Jerry Seinfeld. She now lives in
Los Angeles with her husband and two children,
Henry and Charlie.
Q: Who is Robert of Roberts Rules of
Order? -- T.A., Bishop, Texas
A: On May 2, 1837, Henry Martyn Robert
was born in South Carolina. Twenty years
later, he graduated with honors from West
Point, receiving his commission in the Corps of
Engineers. He went on to have a distinguished
career in the Army, retiring in 1901 as a
brigadier general.
In the 1860s, he was asked to hold a church
meeting but didnt know how. After doing some
research, he discovered there were no set rules,
so he decided to establish a set of guidelines,
which he published in 1876. Roberts Rules
of Order quickly became the authority on
parliamentary procedure. Robert died on May
11, 1923, in Hormel, N.Y.
Q: I am positive I saw Robert Redford in the
Broadway play Barefoot
in the Park in 1963. My
husband and dinner guests
say I am wrong; they claim
he was in a film of that
name. Who is right? -G.H., Boulder, Colo.
A: You are both right.
Redford was a co-star in Robert Redford
the Neil Simon play, which
opened in 1963. In 1967, he was in the movie
with Jane Fonda.
Q: What was the first name of former U.S.
Surgeon General C. Everett Koop? -- J.K.,
Atlantic City, N.J.
A: Charles.
Q: The wife of actor Vincent Price was
supposedly in the movie Auntie Mame. Who
was she? -- J.W.J., Chandler, Ariz.
A: Coral Browne played the role of Vera
Charles, Mames best friend, in the 1958 film.
Browne and Price were not married at the time.
Browne and Price met when she co-starred
with him in Theatre of Blood (1973); they
married the following year. The two appeared
together in the short-lived 1979 TV series
Time Express. The couple remained together
until her death from breast cancer at age 77 on
May 29, 1991, two days after Vincent Prices
80th birthday. Vincent Price succumbed to lung
cancer on Oct. 25, 1993.

CIA fights back on torture report
The Delphos Animal Hospital is taking pet food donations to be given to The
Allen County Dog Wardens (ACDW) office. It is sponsoring the third annual
Pet Food Donation Drive this holiday season to help local families in need with
help to feed their pets. The hospital will accept donations of dog and cat food,
treats, pet toys, leashes and collars until Dec. 23. Above: Office Manager Kerrie

WASHINGTON (AP) Top spies past

and present campaigned Wednesday to discredit the Senates investigation into the CIAs
harrowing torture practices after 9/11, battling
to define the historical record and deter potential legal action around the world.
The Senate intelligence committees report
doesnt urge prosecution for wrongdoing,
and the Justice Department has no interest
in reopening a criminal probe. But the threat
to former interrogators and their superiors
was underlined as a U.N. special investigator demanded those responsible for systematic crimes be brought to justice, and human
rights groups pushed for the arrest of key CIA
and Bush administration figures if they travel
overseas.
Current and former CIA officials pushed
back, determined to paint the Senate report
as a political stunt by Senate Democrats tarnishing a program that saved American lives.
It is a one-sided study marred by errors of
fact and interpretation essentially a poorly
done and partisan attack on the agency that
has done the most to protect America, former CIA directors George Tenet, Porter Goss
and Michael Hayden wrote in a Wall Street
Journal opinion piece.
Hayden was singled out by Senate investigators for what they said was a string of misleading or outright false statements he gave in
2007 about the importance of the CIAs brutal
treatment of detainees in thwarting terrorist
attacks. He described the focus on him as
ironic on so many levels as any wrongdoing
predated his arrival at the CIA. They were far

too interested in yelling at me, Hayden said
in an email to The Associated Press.
The intelligence committees 500-page
release concluded that the CIA inflicted
suffering on al-Qaida prisoners beyond its
legal authority and that none of the agencys
enhanced interrogations provided critical,
life-saving intelligence. It cited the CIAs own
records, documenting in detail how waterboarding and lesser-known techniques such
as rectal feeding were actually employed.
The CIA is now in the uncomfortable
position of defending itself publicly, given its
basic mission to protect the country secretly. Its 136-page rebuttal suggests Senate
Democrats searched through millions of documents to pull out only the evidence backing
up pre-determined conclusions. Thats like
doing a crossword puzzle on Tuesday with
Wednesdays answers key, the CIA said in
an emailed statement.
Challenging one of the reports most
explosive arguments that harsh interrogation techniques didnt lead to Osama bin
Laden the CIA pointed to questioning of
Ammar al-Baluchi, who revealed how an
al-Qaida operative relayed messages to and
from bin Laden after he departed Afghanistan.
Before then, the CIA said, it only knew
that courier Abu Ahmad al-Kuwaiti interacted
with bin Laden in 2001 when the al-Qaida
leader was accessible to many of his followers. Al-Kuwaiti eventually led the U.S. to bin
Ladens compound in Pakistan.

pet food donations
Time Person of the Year
BY STEPHANIE GROVES
DELPHOS The Delphos Animal

Hospital is taking pet food donations to be
given to The Allen County Dog Wardens
(ACDW) office. It is sponsoring the third
annual Pet Food Donation Drive this holiday season to help local families in need
by donating dog and cat food and other pet
supplies.
The Delphos Animal Hospitals Office
Manager Kerrie Harrison said the hospital
will accept donations of dog and cat food,
treats, pet toys, leashes and collars until
Dec. 23. Drop-off hours are: 8:30 a.m.-5:30
p.m. Monday-Friday and 8:30 a.m.-2:30
p.m. Saturday.
Chief Dog Warden Allen County Julie
Shellhammer said this is the time of year

when families are facing hardships with the
holidays.
They may have lost a job and are struggling to pay their bills and take care of their
families, she said. We want to help them
take care of their pets.
Shellhammer said the communitys
response has been great; many groomers, veterinarians and pet stores have volunteered to
accept public donations.
Last year, we helped 125 families with
their pets needs, she said. We will gladly
accept monetary donations and people can
also choose to sponsor a pet.
The ACDW would like to thank all who
donate and to those willing to be a drop-off
location.

Spill
This spill did not warrant a call to the EPA but we always
err on the side of caution, Seidel added.
BUNGE uses sulfuric acid in the treatment of its wastewater before its sent through the municipal lines. Delphos
Wastewater Superintendent Todd Teman said the spill was
treated with lime to neutralize the acid and then BUNGE
flushed its system with additional water to hasten the process.
Sulfuric acid dissipates very quickly outside but it would
have caused our pH to go way out of whack, Teman said.
BUNGE acted immediately and what reached the system was
already diluted and neutralized.

were cited for tireless acts
of courage and mercy, for
buying the world time to
boost its defenses, for risking, for persisting, for sacrificing and saving.
Antoine Petibon, head
of international programs
for the French Red Cross,
which has been active in
Guineas anti-Ebola efforts,
called it great recognition
for all these people who
have been toiling in the
shadows.
If it helps us wipe out
this epidemic faster, all the
better, Petibon added.
The disease has taken its
toll in myriad ways.
In September, a team
trying to inform villagers
about Ebola in the forests of southern Guinea
was attacked by a mob.
The bodies of eight people
two local administrators, two medical officers, a
preacher and three journalists, were found stuffed in
a latrine.
Less than a month after
arriving in Guinea, Cuban
Dr. Jorge Juan Guerra
Rodriguez died of malaria.

Henry Gray, MSF operations coordinator for the

Ebola response in Guinea
and Liberia, said the spotlight should be on the
patients and the thousands
of people in Sierra Leone,
Guinea, Liberia and Mali
who are doing their best
to deal with this horrendous
outbreak.
Gray, speaking by phone
from Conakry, the Guinea
capita, said, We are happy
for this recognition but will
be even happier when the
last Ebola treatment center
is closed and the crisis is
declared over.
Birte Hald, head of emergency operations for the
International Federation of
Red Cross and Red Crescent
Societies, said front-line
fighters deserve recognition.
People like myself,
we are working hard, but
we are not at risk, Hald
said from Nairobi. People
doing the safe and dignified
burials, the contact tracing and the transport of the
sick, working in the treatment centers these are
the people who deserve our
