AKRON A Texas nurses Ebola diagnosis

after a visit to Ohio prompted public health
alerts, precautions and worries Wednesday as
officials tried to determine who had close contact with her and keep the illness from spreading.
Officials in Summit County, where the
woman visited family over the weekend, said
one individual in Ohio who had household contact with 29-year-old Amber Joy Vinson selfquarantined at home Tuesday after Vinsons
family was notified that she developed Ebola
symptoms. Officials didnt identify the isolated
person.
Vinson had treated the Liberian man who
died of the disease in a Dallas hospital. Medical
records provided to The Associated Press by
Thomas Eric Duncans family show Vinson was
actively engaged in caring for Duncan and that
she inserted catheters, drew blood and dealt with
Duncans body fluids.
Officials say Vinson didnt exhibit Ebola
symptoms while in Ohio. Passengers who were
on Mondays Frontier Airlines Flight 1143 from
Cleveland to Dallas with Vinson have been
asked to call the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention.
In Ohio, local and state officials at multiple

press conferences sought to ward off any public
panic by emphasizing that the state has no cases
of Ebola and many steps are being taken to limit
further infection.
Officials said Cleveland Hopkins International
Airport disinfected key areas of its facility and
was providing personal protection for equipment
employees. The airport director said the plane
on which Vinson flew back to Dallas was decontaminated twice and would be used for a flight
on Wednesday, but that flight was canceled.
Cleveland Mayor Frank Jackson urged people
to be reasonable and rely not on rumors but on
facts.
Is there a need for people to have precaution? Yes, there is, Jackson said.
The Cleveland airport is implementing its
infectious disease protocol, and the city said its
emergency medical responders added Ebolaspecific questions to better screen incoming calls
for medical help.
Kent State University, Vinsons alma mater,
was abuzz about its links to the Ebola case
after the school announced that three employees
related to Vinson have been asked to remain off
campus for three weeks. Vinson didnt visit campus during her recent trip, the school said. It isnt
identifying the related employees.

Ebola is spread through direct contact with

Ottoville to retire
bond early; save
taxpayers 1.6 mills
BY NANCY SPENCER
DHI Media Editor
nspencer@delphosherald.com
OTTOVILLE Property owners in Ottoville Local School

District will see a lighter tax sooner than expected. The school
board passed a resolution Wednesday evening approving the
retirement of the bond on whats left of the former school
building to a tune of $581,050. The resolution transferred
$303,867.76 to the Bond Retirement Fund to bring the account
to the amount needed to pay off the bond.
The move will eliminate interest the district would have
paid until the bond naturally retired in 2022 and reduces the
millage collected by the district through property taxes by
1.6 mills. That will save taxpayers approximately $50 per
$100,000 of valuation per year.
This is a good time to pay down some debt, save the district some money and pass along savings to our taxpayers,
Treasurer Bob Weber said.
Board President Kevin Landin said the option was a sound
financial move for the district.
With the limited options we have in investing and the poor
returns with those investments, this is a good use of that money
and it gives money back to the taxpayers, he said.
With the bond retirement, the district will have eliminated a
little more than 7 mills. The districts didnt renew its Permanent
Improvement Levy in 2012 or Emergency Levy in 2013.

Dear EarthTalk: Whats the latest on

efforts to ban plastic bags? How many
U.S. locales have instituted some kind of
ban, and have these initiatives made a
dent in the amount of plastic litter?

Putnam County Leadership Day spurs

volunteerism in teens, communities
MILLER CITY Some
of the best and brightest students Putnam County has to
offer converged on Miller
City on Tuesday, participating in the fifth annual Putnam
County Leadership Day.
The brainchild of three
influential county residents
Pathways Beth Tobe, Jason
Hedrick of the Ohio State
University Extension Office
and Fort Jennings School
District faculty member Jeff
Jostpille the 2014 conference was designed to instill
an even greater sense of civic
responsibility in high school
students already predisposed
toward such a mindset.
Roughly 100 students
representing seven of the
countys nine school districts Columbus Grove,
Continental, Fort Jennings,
Kalida, Miller City-New
Cleveland, Ottoville and
Pandora-Gilboa participated
in the event. Students participating in the conference were
selected from all four grades,
freshman through senior, and
were often chosen based on
participation in such activities
as student council, National
Honor Society, Key Club,
Future Farmers of America
and other similar activities.
The contingent representing
Fort Jennings was a disparate group nominated by the
schools faculty with the students receiving the most nominations elected to attend.
The day began with a series
of both physically energizing
and team-building exercises
intended to invigorate and develop a network of mutual support
between the students, many of
whom had never met before that
morning. Then, in the afternoon,
participants were provided the
opportunity to meet representatives of a variety of charitable

and community service-oriented organizations operating in
Putnam County.
The goal of this is to
get the high school students
in Putnam Count together to
learn about volunteerism and
service leadership and to recognize that our county has
a lot of opportunities where
they can do those kinds of
activities, Jostpille said.
To that end, seven organizations were invited to discuss their programs and goals
with the participants: Habitat
for Humanity, Challenged
Champions, Columbus Grove
Leo Club, Kalida Cats Who
Care, the Putnam County
Thrift Store, the Putnam
County YMCA and the
Putnam County chapter of
Big Brothers/Big Sisters.
After rotating through
each organizations presentation in groups of 10 to 15,
the students, returned now
to their home-school contingents, were challenged to
prepare a service/volunteer
project plan within a 45-minute time frame. Provided
for them was a framework
that raised questions about
the nature of the project, its
cost, the frequency of planning meetings, number of
necessary participants and
other key concerns for the
development of a successful
campaign.
For Fort Jennings senior
and student council treasurer
Jenna Calvelage, the event,
while somewhat familiar,
was a success.
Our school is heavily
involved in the Ohio Association
of Student Councils, so this is
very much review, she said.
Once the games got going,
everybody was interacting well
and we all came out of our
shells. This helped open up our
personalities.
In addition, attendants were

encouraged to return to their
communities with information
about the organizations that
presented during the event.
The intent behind these discussions is to not only provide
a boost to the participating
organizations, but to engender
the self-same volunteer mentality in the students home
communities as they were
encouraged to develop over
the course of the day.
That is a definite must,
Jostpille emphasized. Thats
the first thing we said when
we started today; that whatever they learn here could
be personal growth for them
in any activity, including in
their school and community.
Littered plastic is also a huge problem

for the health of wildlife, as many animals ingest it thinking it is food and can
have problems thereafter breathing and
digesting. The non-profit Worldwatch
Institute reports that at least 267 species
of marine wildlife are known to have
suffered from entanglement or ingestion of marine debris, most of which is
composed of plastic; tens of thousands
of whales, birds, seals and turtles die
every year from contact with oceanborne plastic bags. A recent European
Commission study on the impact of
litter on North Sea wildlife found that
some 90 percent of the birds examined
had plastic in their stomachs.
Another reason for banning plastic bags
is their fossil fuel burden. Plastic is not
only made from petroleumproducing
it typically requires a lot of fossil-fuelderived energy. The fact that Americans
throw away some 100 billion plastic grocery bags each year means we are drilling
for and importing millions of barrels worth
of oil and natural gas for a convenient way
to carry home a few groceries.
Its hard to measure the impact of preexisting plastic bag bans, but some initial
findings look promising. A plastic bag tax
levied in Ireland in 2002 has reportedly
led to a 95 percent reduction in plastic
bag litter there. And a study by San Jose,
California found that a 2011 ban instituted
there has led to plastic litter reduction of
approximately 89 percent in the storm
drain system, 60 percent in the creeks and
rivers, and 59 percent in City streets and
neighborhoods.
Environmental groups continue to push
for more plastic bag bans. As U.S. natural
gas production has surged and prices have
fallen, the plastics industry is looking to
ramp up domestic production, reports the
Earth Policy Institute. Yet using this fossil fuel endowment to make something so
short-lived, which can blow away at the
slightest breeze and pollutes indefinitely,
is illogicalparticularly when there is a
ready alternative: the reusable bag.

DHI Correspondent
California made big news recently

when it announced the first statewide
ban on plastic shopping bags set to kick
in during the middle of 2015. Beginning
in July, large grocery stores, pharmacies
and other food retailers in the Golden
State will no longer be able to send shoppers home with plastic bags, while convenience markets, liquor stores and other
small food retailers will join the ranks a
year later
Back in 2007, San Francisco became the
first U.S. municipality to ban plastic shopping bags. In intervening years upwards of
132 other cities and counties in 18 states
and the District of Columbia instituted
similar measures. Of course, Americans
are late to the party when it comes to banning plastic bags: The European Union,
China, India and dozens of other nations
already have plastic bag bans or taxes in
place.
But the trend here toward banning plastic shopping bags comes in the wake of
new findings regarding the extent and harm
of plastic in our environment. Since plastic
isnt biodegradable, it ends up either in
landfills or as litter on the landscape and
in waterways and the ocean. Plastic can
take hundreds of years to decompose and
releases toxins into the soil and water in
the process.

OFBF examining CAUV formula
INFORMATION SUBMITTED
COLUMBUS The Ohio Farm
Bureau Federation (OFBF) is bringing
together experts to intensify its examination of the complex formula used
in calculating Current Agricultural
Use Value (CAUV). Many landowners have raised concerns as values are
rising at the same time crop prices
are falling. OFBFs goal is to provide
solutions to those concerns
while preserving the integrity and purpose of the program. CAUV is designed to
accurately value land as farm
ground rather than as development property.
Forty-one counties underwent reappraisals and updates in 2014.
Record high crop prices in preceding years combined with record low
interest rates have created significant
spikes in values under CAUV. Farmers
in other counties experienced similar
increases in 2012 and 2013.
The CAUV program has worked
very well over the past 40 years and
is a program that must be preserved.
While the recent increases in values
have been anticipated, it doesnt make
them easier to stomach, especially at a
time when crop prices are declining,
said Jack Fisher, OFBF executive vice
president.
The challenge is how to address the
factors that have caused todays drastic
increases in taxes while ensuring that
the aspects of this program that have
contributed to its long-standing usefulness to farmers remain intact. Farm
Bureau is working to make sure that
any changes will consider both shortand long-term ramifications.
During its September meeting,

OFBFs state policy development
committee talked extensively about
the CAUV formula and heard presentations from three other state Farm
Bureaus on how their states agricultural property tax programs are conducted
and calculated. OFBFs board of trustees plans to address CAUV during its
October meeting.
In addition, Farm Bureau members
are encouraged to provide
additional data about their
situations and suggestions
for changes to the formula by completing an
online CAUV survey at
ofbf.org. The survey must
be completed by Oct. 31.
The accumulated information will
be used in the state policy development session in November to formulate policy proposals for consideration at OFBFs annual meeting in
December.
Over the past year, Ohio Farm
Bureau has conducted more than 20
informational meetings and webinars
statewide to help members understand
the CAUV formula and the reasons for
recent increases.
Additionally, Ohio Farm Bureau
has reached out to lawmakers who
have been hearing concerns from constituents about rising property taxes on
farmland. OFBF conducted a CAUV
educational session for members of
the Ohio General Assembly and their
staffs, met individually with numerous legislators and sent a letter to all
lawmakers this month making them
aware of the organizations research
and seeking their input for possible
improvements.
Peanut farmers deal with

fallout from salmonella
ALBUQUERQUE,
N.M. (AP) There will be
significantly fewer peanuts
pulled from the ground in
eastern New Mexico this
harvest season because of
lingering fallout from the
bankruptcy and sale of a
peanut-processing plant
that was at the heart of a
2012 salmonella outbreak
and nationwide recall.
Peanut farmers are
expected to bring in 6
million pounds less this
year, according to forecasts released this week
by the U.S. Department
of Agriculture. That represents nearly a 30-percent drop in production in
New Mexico from the year
before.
The forecast calls for
nationwide production to
approach 5 billion pounds,
an increase over last year,
but those numbers wont
include as many Valencia
peanuts as in years past.
Grown along the New
Mexico-Texas border, the
sweet variety is coveted for
making natural butters and
is what fueled the processing plant in Portales before
it closed.
With no plant, there
were no contracts and no
bonuses for farmers to
grow Valencia peanuts this
year.
Portales
residents
remain anxious because

its unclear whether the
plants new owner, Golden
Boy Foods, will resume
operations.
Theyve got a new sign
up, but theres still no activity there at all. We dont
know what their plans are,
said Wayne Baker with
the New Mexico Peanut
Growers Association. I
wish theyd either get with
the program or sell it to
somebody else because we
need the industry to get
going again.
The closure of the
organic peanut butter plant
has had a significant effect
on the industry, with lost
jobs, income and tax revenue, New Mexico State
University peanut expert
Naveen Puppala said.
Retailers
including
Costco and Trader Joes
have since found other
peanut butters to fill their
shelves, and Portales-area
farmers have found ways
to stay afloat this year by
planting cotton, grain and
corn for silage.
The community is also
getting relief from the
drought, the dairy business is picking up and a
highway project that hampered downtown business for over two years is
nearly done all reasons
for spirits being so high as
Portales gets ready for a

weekend celebration that
will mark 100 years of
peanut production in the
region.
People have weathered it all really well
in Portales style, with a
stiff upper lip, said Karl
Terry, executive director
of the Roosevelt County
Chamber of Commerce.
The annual Peanut
Valley Festival is expected to attract about 5,000
people from throughout
the region. Visitors will
be able to find everything
from Cajun-flavored peanuts to green and red chile
brittle.
Peanuts have been synonymous with the Portales
area for decades. In fact,
its still home to a processing plant operated
by North Carolina-based
Hampton Farms, which
contracts with Major
League Baseball to provide
nuts to ballparks across the
country.
Stuart Ingle, a Portales
resident and minority floor
leader of the New Mexico
Senate, said the region has
a century of experience
and the type of sandy soil
required for growing peanuts.
The industry is going
to be here for a long while.
It sure is, he said.
FAA working on plan to

integrate UAVs in agriculture use

al photographs of their fields.

Farmers can scout for weeds,
insects, diseases, plant stands
and plant health. Farmers can
document wildlife damage,
drainage issues, and map and
find existing tile lines. Farmers
also can use drones to tailor
their use of pesticides, herbicides, fertilizer and other applications based on how much is
needed at a specific point in a
field, a process known as precision agriculture, saving the
grower money from unnecessarily overusing resources while
at the same time reducing the
amount of runoff that could flow
into nearby rivers and streams.
With new technology, there
are many components to learn
about including onboard equipment and ground stations.
Onboard equipment can include
your flight camera for fixed
photographs, video cameras
for real time motion, camera
gimbals (gyroscope to determine location), anti-vibration
dampners, infra-red cameras,
flight controllers (autopilot,)
RC (radio controlled) receivers,
video transmitters, GPS (global
positioning systems) antennas
and batteries. Ground station
equipment may include remote
control equipment, tripods,
video monitors, data link transmitter, video antenna/receivers, googles for controlling the
AUV equipment and iPad for
auto flight. If you like gadgets
and new technology, drones and
UAVs are constantly changing
and being upgraded.
Iain Butler, drone and UAV
specialist, offers these UAV tips:
1. Preplan your mission, do a
site visit or use Google Earth for
site info. Look out for powerlines, airports, tree lines, towers
and other safety hazards.
2. The higher you fly, the less
images you need, which means
less processing time. Also, the
higher you fly, the larger the
area you can map. Currently,
Drones are becoming more

important in agriculture every
day. The Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) has been
authorized by Congress to finalize a plan for safe integration
of UAVs (Unmanned Aircraft
Vehicles) by Sept. 30, 2015.
According to John Dillard
with Farm Journal, FAA will
release its proposed regulations
for drones that weigh less than
55 pounds this fall. Current
altitude limits are 400 feet for
flying drones and fixed wing
aircraft. Current FAA regulations say you can fly a drone
for fun, but you cant use one
to make money for business
decisions. That interpretation
is being challenged and changed
with new regulations. However,
current drone use is not legal,
even for farm use, because it is
regulated by the FAA.
John Barker, OSU Knox
County Extension Educator
specializes in drone education.
Barker says there are two types
of aerial vehicles: fixed-wing
or airplanes and rotary-wing or
helicopters.
Each have pros and cons.
Airplane pros are they fly faster,
they have longer range, generally longer battery life and can
carry a larger payload. Airplane
cons are they need a mechanical
launching assistance, require a
bigger landing area, cant hover
and durability is an issue.
Helicopter pros include vertical takeoff/landing, precise
positioning (hovering) and low/
variable speed capabilities.
Helicopter cons include shorter
battery life, shorter range and
much smaller payloads.
UAVs have a number of
agricultural uses. They can help
farmers gather data about their
farm including real-time aeri-
400 feet is the maximum altitude.

3. Always check your images
when in the field to make sure
your equipment is working. Fly
at noon to limit shadows from
vegetation and to maximize
your data collection.
4. Use an observer to make
sure the equipment is working
correctly. It is easy to lose sight
of your AUV equipment. Paint
your AUV equipment orange.
Sooner or later you will crash
and orange is a bright color and
easier to find.
5. Crop analysis is 20 percent flying and 80 percent data
processing. Flying is fun but
for agriculture, the payoff is in
using the data to increase crop
yields. Spend the time using the
data to improve your farm.
Agricultural drones range in
cost from $2,000 for a cheap
plane to around $25,000 for
equipment with infrared cameras, sensors and other technology controlled by a pilot.
The cost may be steep, but
the data collected (from identifying insect problems, watering issues, assessing crop
yields) help farmers recover
the investment, often within
a year.
If you are going to operate a
UAV make sure you have adequate insurance. Liability insurance should include personalinjury protection and invasion
of privacy. Property insurance
covers aircraft damage and
whole insurance coverage is
more comprehensive but it is
difficult to predict what drones
will or wont do. (Potter, Farm
Journal, 2014)

EPA approves new weed killer for engineered crops

WASHINGTON (AP) The Environmental
Protection Agency has approved a new version
of a popular weed killer to be used on genetically
modified corn and soybeans.
The EPA said Wednesday that it will allow the
use of a 2,4-D weed killer called Enlist Duo, a
new version of the popular herbicide used since
the 1940s. It is designed to be used with genetically modified corn and soybeans approved by the
Agriculture Department last month.
The seeds are engineered to resist the herbicide, so farmers can spray the fields after the
plants emerge and kill the weeds while leaving
crops unharmed.
The agriculture industry has anxiously awaited
the approvals, as many weeds have become resistant to glyphosate, an herbicide commonly used
on genetically modified corn and soybeans now.
Enlist includes a combination of both the new
version of 2,4-D and glyphosate.
Critics say theyre concerned the increased use
of 2,4-D could endanger public health and more
study on the chemical is needed. The USDA has
predicted that the use of 2,4-D could increase by
an estimated 200 percent to 600 percent by the
year 2020.
The EPA said in a release that the agencys
decision reflects a large body of science and that
officials used highly conservative and protective assumptions to evaluate human health and
ecological risks. The EPA said the herbicide
meets safety standards for the public, agricultural
workers and endangered species. This is the third
time EPA has reviewed the safety of the herbicide
in recent years.
2,4-D is now used on other crops, including
wheat, and on pastures and home lawns. It is the

worlds most popular herbicide and the third most
popular in the United States, behind atrazine and
glyphosate.
Groups lobbying the agency to prevent its
expanded use say they are concerned about 2,4Ds toxic effects and the potential for it to drift.
Corn and soybeans are the nations largest crops,
and the potential for expanded use is huge.
Dow AgroSciences, which manufactures
Enlist, says the new version has been engineered
to solve potential problems, like drift before and
after the herbicide hits the plant.
To further address concerns, the EPA is requiring a 30-foot buffer zone where the herbicide
cant be sprayed. The agency is also requiring
farmers to stop spraying if wind speed is over
15 miles an hour. And the approval announced
Wednesday only allows the use of the weed killer
in six states: Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Ohio, South
Dakota and Wisconsin.
The agency said it is taking comments on
whether to register the herbicide in 10 additional
states: Arkansas, Kansas, Louisiana, Minnesota,
Missouri, Mississippi, Nebraska, Oklahoma,
Tennessee and North Dakota.
Critics have expressed additional concern that
weeds will eventually become resistant to the
herbicide, as they have glyphosate. EPA says it is
requiring better surveying and reporting of weeds
to try and get ahead of that problem, and the
approval will expire in six years, allowing EPA to
revisit the issue of resistance.
Opponents were unmoved. The advocacy
groups Center for Food Safety and Earthjustice
each indicated they were considering lawsuits.

The Royals are really

royal in MLB playoffs
JIM METCALFE
Metcalfes
Musings
By JIM METCALFE
DHI Media Sports Editor
jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com
Are the Kansas City Royals making it to the World
Series one of sports any sport? all-time surprises?
Like The Mazing Mets of 1969?
They perhaps clinched that possible auspicious honor
Wednesday night by finishing off the sweep of the
Baltimore Orioles.
I can remember ahem, vaguely; I was awful young
then! the last time the Royals made the playoffs and
won the World Series in 1985, beating the dreaded St.
Loius Cardinals of the Show Me State title.
Yeah, I know; those who remember recall the Don
Denkinger boneheaded call that helped lead the way but
that is for another time and place.
Think about it: it had been 29 years a generation
and a half since the Royals had even made the playoffs
again.
They have broken the hearts of many a Royal fan in
what I consider one of the all-time best baseball towns of
MBLs glorious and at moments, inglorious times.

NWC title, postseason still in play

as Knights await Spencerville
By JOHN PARENT
CONVOY Since early
in the high school football
season, this weeks contest
between the host Crestview
Knights and Spencerville has
been highly-anticipated.
While both schools navigated through the first six weeks
without a blemish on their
record, Spencerville moved to
7-0 with a rout of Bluffton last
week while Crestview suffered
a loss at Ada.
Even with a loss, however,
the Knights control their own
destiny and are still in line
for at least a share of the
Northwest Conference crown.
Beyond that, Crestview
currently sits fourth in the
Division VI, Region 20 computer rankings. The top eight
teams in each region advance
to the playoff, with the top
four receiving a home game
in the first round.

Musketeers blank Lincolnview

in D-III soccer tournament
BY JIM COX
DHI Media Correspondent
FORT JENNINGS The

Fort Jennings Musketeers
blasted 45 shots (25 on-goal)
at Lincolnview in Division
III sectional boys soccer
action Wednesday, resulting
in a 7-0 victory.
The win moves the fourthseeded Ft. Jennings (8-5-4)
boys into a 3 p.m. Saturday
afternoon matchup with
third-seeded Lima Central
Catholic at Spartan Stadium.

The Lancers season ends at
0-14.
Any match against a
Putnam County League
team is certain to be a
tough one. Of the 11
teams in the Kalida
Division III soccer district tournament, the five
PCL teams are seeded one
(Continental), two (Kalida),
four (Fort Jennings), five
(Ottoville) and six (Miller
City).
With only 30 seconds
elapsed in the match, the

Lancers Tyler Wannemacher
launched a long,
high pass into
a crowd five
yards in front of
Lincolnviews
net and it looked
like a 50/50 chance for
a goal. In the ensuing melee,
however, a Lancer was called
for a violation and it would
be a long time before the ball
got that close to the net again.
Fort Jennings broke the
ice at the 31:00 mark when
Austin Wisner eluded his

defender, then Lincolnview
goalie
Chandler
Adams, and blasted a
15-yard shot into the
empty net from a sharp
right-side angle.
The
Musketeers
quickly added a second
goal at 28:50 when Wisner
dropped a pass to Mark
Metzger, whose 10-yarder
from straight away deflected
into the net off of the right
post.

Lady Tribe oust Dawgs in girls soccer

By JIM METCALFE
jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com
ELIDA A sense of urgency.

That is what coaches seek when the
second season in Wednesday nights
case, girls soccer is in full swing.
As well, when you have two league
teams meeting up Elida and Shawnee
from the Western Buckeye League
records and regular-season results are
thrown out the window.
The fact that the Lady Bulldogs beat
the Indians 2-0 in the first season meant
nothing.
A young Shawnee 14 freshmen and
eight sophomores among a roster of 30
got its revenge at Elida Athletic Complex,
scoring with 2:53 remaining to seize a 2-1
Division II victory on a soggy pitch.
They played harder for 80 minutes
than we did, Elida head coach Brady
Overholt explained. They have a young
team and played as if they had nothing
to lose, while we had everything to lose.
We had opportunities but didnt capitalize; we never really got in a rhythm
tonight. We played hard but needed
our veterans to step up and change the
course of the match; that didnt happen.
We didnt have our sweeper (senior)
Kaylee Klinger and that affected us
some defensively. Along with that, I
didnt enjoy the weather. I had concerns
and they came true.
Shawnee head coach Caroline OBrien
acknowledged her young team is starting
to put it together at the right time.
Elida senior Brett Pauff looks for ball possession as Shawnees Julia
Hardy looks for containment in Division II girls soccer action Wednesday at Elida. The visitors escaped with a 2-1 triumph. (DHI Media/Jim
Metcalfe)
We are starting connect, which we
werent earlier this season, she added.
I told the girls that its a new season;
throw out everything before, especially
playing a familiar foe. The key tonight
was the job (junior) Julia (Hardy) did
on (senior) Brett Pauff; she followed her
everywhere and did not let her dictate

the match. My back four was amazing
and Nikki (goalie McPheron) did a great
job of smothering. I told the girls to
attack because you never know with a
slick pitch like this.

7 Time Winner
in NASCAR coverage
By DAN GELSTON
Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA High above the city in

Philadelphias tallest skyscraper, NASCARs
potential future zooms into focus on a 140inch screen.
Its also just as clear on a mobile device.
There could be a channel dedicated to
your favorite driver. Want the latest news on
Jimmie Johnson? Maybe a replay of old interviews or his winning races? Or how about live
scanner traffic between Johnson and his crew
chief during a race?
It could all be just a push of a remote control button away.
Im going to be bold and say were going
to do all of that, said Matt
Strauss, Comcasts senior vice
president of video services.
Philadelphia-based Comcast
has innovative plans to beef up how NASCAR
fans follow the sport, from routine news stories flowing on a ticker during the week to
expanded coverage from inside the pits on the
weekends. Comcast Corp. signed a 10-year
agreement to replace Nationwide Insurance
as the title sponsor of NASCARs second-tier
racing series beginning next season.
The series will be known as the NASCAR
Xfinity Series through 2024. The deal matches
the longest single agreement around title sponsorship of any NASCAR national series in its history
and Sports Business Daily valued the package at
worth close to $200 million. Xfinity is Comcasts

residential cable and Internet provider.

Unlike most sponsorship branding that has
no impact on the average fan, Comcast is trying to make its X1 platform as necessary for
fans as four wheels on a stock car.
At Philadelphias Comcast Center, Strauss
showed on the big screen how the X1 service
could work as a computer-on-TV. Search
engines, apps, real-time scores, even the latest trends on Twitter can be customized to fit
almost any driver or hot topic in NASCAR.
And X1 works on mobile devices.
Strauss said it would be possible to create
on-demand content of drivers and races could
be viewed live on the mobile app.
Xfinity becomes just the third title sponsor in series history. Anheuser-Busch spent
26 years as title sponsor and
Nationwide has been sponsor the
last 11 but is transitioning into
team sponsorship next season.
Its the importance that live sports brings
to our business in general as the reason were
involved here, said Matt Lederer, Comcast
senior director of sports brand marketing.
Were going to make a NASCAR experience
unlike anything else. Were in a very strong
position with our product right now, as strong
as its ever been. How were going to market
the series? Well have to see what happens.
One speed bump: Xfinity does not carry Fox
Sports 2 on its cable systems, which the company
hoped to have straightened out in time for 2015.

The teams had battled to a 1-1 tie in the

first half and took the pitch for the second
half.
Both back lines were playing lock-down
defense, not giving their opponents many
looks let alone wide-open efforts in
the half.
Most of the shots they did give up were
off-target.
Elida (9-7) had two shots on-goal in the
half: at 30:38 when senior Jenna Halpern
had a good look on the left wing from 17
yards but McPheron (4 saves vs. 6 shots
on-goal) gobbled it up; and at 21:08, when
Halpern tried a 6-yarder but was denied.
Shawnee (7-9) had three, with its first try
at 24:59 when freshman Maddie OConnell
put in a 14-yarder from the right wing but
Elida sophomore Lydia Burnett (2 saves, 4
shots) garnered the stop.

Royals hold off Orioles 2-1

By DAVE SKRETTA
Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. Crown these
Royals the American League champions.
After nearly three decades spent trying to return to the playoffs, Kansas City
is taking its perfect postseason ride all
the way to the World Series.
With more dominant defense, an
opportunistic offense that plated two
runs in the first inning and a bullpen that
shut down the Baltimore Orioles once
again, Greg Holland and the wild-card
Royals wrapped up a sweep of the AL
Championship Series with a 2-1 victory
on Wednesday.
Next stop: The Royals first Fall
Classic since 1985. Theyll face the
winner of the NLCS between the Giants
and Cardinals. San Francisco leads that
series 2-1.
Its been an amazing run. This is
great, said left fielder Alex Gordon,
who made another jarring catch. Weve
been playing pretty good baseball. Its
nothing better than when you win.
Today, same old story: good pitching,
good defense and scratch out a win.
Outfielder Lorenzo Cain was selected
MVP of the ALCS, batting .533 and
leading an outstanding defense.
After holding the Orioles to three
hits in Game 3 on Tuesday night,
Jason Vargas and the Royals bullpen
nearly turned the trick again. Kelvin
Herrera and Wade Davis ushered the
game to Holland, who matched Dennis
Eckersleys record by saving his fourth
game of the best-of-seven series.
After Holland got J.J. Hardy to
ground out to third base for the final
out, the Royals spilled onto the infield in
a wild celebration. Fireworks shot over
the crown-shaped scoreboard in center
field, and a blue-clad sellout crowd that
NWC
Sitting in front of the Knights in the

rankings are Tinora, Lima Central
Catholic and those Bearcats.
Crestview head coach Jared Owens
isnt interested in any of that. He knows
that if his Knights take care of business
on the field, the rest will fall into place.
This is the only thing going on in our
football universe, Owens explained.
The only thing we are focused on is
preparing to play well against a very
formidable Spencerville team.
The Bearcats (7-0, 5-0 NWC) ran
all over Bluffton last week, turning a
24-20 halftime lead into a 60-40 final
score. Along the way, running back
Zach Goecke piled up 231 rushing yards
on 21 carries. Goeckes performance
versus the Pirates moved him ahead of
Crestview quarterback Preston Zaleski
for the most rushing yards in the league
this year.
Its not just Goecke that the
Knights have to worry about, however. Spencerville features two additional rushers, Andrew Emery and
Trevor McMichael, that rank among
the top seven in the conference. Emery
has gained 602 yards this year while
McMichael has added 590 yards on the
NASCAR
advance both of the runners.

It was a questionable decision so
early in the game. But like almost every
unorthodox move that Yost has made
this postseason, it worked out perfectly
for the first sacrifice of
Cains career.
Hosmer followed with a
chopping groundball, and first
baseman Steve Pearce went
home with it. Escobar slid
safely and the ball bounded
away from catcher Caleb
Joseph, allowing Aoki to follow his teammate home and
giving the scrappy, small-ball Royals a
2-0 lead.
After that, it was up to their defense
and bullpen.
Escobar turned a pair of double plays
early in the game to help Vargas escape
jams and Gordon made a spectacular
catch while crashing into the left-field
wall to rob Hardy of extra bases leading
off the fifth inning. In the sixth, second
baseman Omar Infante was in perfect
position to snag Nelson Cruzs line drive
and leave runners on the corners.
Herrera breezed through the seventh
and Davis handled the eighth, just as they
have all season, and Holland slammed
the door on his fourth save of the series.
And set off of a wild celebration that
had been 29 years in the making.
In the midst of it all was Yost, the
often-criticized Royals manager who
has guided a collection of budding
young stars to baseballs grandest stage.
In doing so, Yost became the first manager in major league history to win his
first eight postseason games.
Now, just four more stand in the way of
an improbable World Series championship.
TIGHT GAMES
The Royals win was the 14th decided by one run this postseason, topping
the record set in 2011 and tied last year.
ground. The Bearcats average better

than 380 rushing yards per game.
That type of relentless rushing attack,
combined with the rigors of the season
already, has Owens using this week to
get his players as healthy as possible as
they look ahead to Friday night.
Weve just been focused on getting
healthy; we have a lot of people banged
up, Owens noted. We have a lot of
bumps and bruises, a lot of people hurting. Weve been focused on the mental
part of the game and trying to get people
healthy.
Crestviews defense has been at its
best versus the run, limiting opponents
to 126 yards per game on the ground.
The last time the Knights played a rundominant offense, they held Delphos
Jefferson to 143 rushing yards in a week
six victory.
If the Knights can force Spencerville
to the air, it will be a great sign for
Crestview. No team in the NWC has
thrown fewer passes than the Bearcats
with just 47 pass attempts this season.
When he has had to throw, however,
quarterback Mason Nourse has been
highly efficient. Nourse has completed
61 percent of his throws and has tossed
six touchdowns versus just one interception.
On offense, the Knights will face the

stingiest defense in the conference, with
Spencerville allowing a mere 55 rushing yards per game and only nine first
downs to their opponents on average.
Only Jefferson has allowed fewer points
than Spencervilles 115 (16.4 per game)
and the Bearcats yield just 228 total
yards per contest.
While those numbers sound daunting, dont expect Crestviews run-oriented offense to change its stripes.
We dont necessarily ever use any
trickery, Owens said. Were just going
to line up and do what we do, and try to
do it well.
Crestview gains 316 yards on the
ground per game and average 411 total
yards per night. Apart from Zaleskis
prowess, the Knights will use as many
as four rushers out the backfield, including Malcolm Oliver, who averages 7.6
yards per carry, and Jordan Miller, who
has gained 6.5 yards per run this year.
Crestview tight end Nate Owens has
been the focus of the passing game, on
the rare occasion that Zaleski is forced
to the air. Owens gained 66 yards last
week on a pair of catches and has 307
yards receiving on the year. Owens is
second in the NWC with nearly 28 yards
per catch.
Xfinity currently operates in 40 states and provides cable

and broadband services in several cities near NASCAR

DENNY DELIVERS: The Deliverminator has shipped to

his FedEx TV ads for Sundays race, from the paint scheme on
the No. 11 to a firesuit straight out of Fonzies closet.
consternation. The second came at 2:57 off

a clear from senior Lauren Buettner, finding
McConnell behind the defense for a 1-on1 with the keeper. Burnett came out and
deflected the 23-yarder but couldnt control
it, with senior Sydney Gronas getting the
ricochet and finding the mark from 14
yards with a wide-open goal for a 2-1 lead.
The Shawnee defense did not allow a
real effort at their goal the rest of the match.
In the first half, with a light rain falling
for the first 20 minutes, Elida had the better
of the ball possession but didnt get much
going.
Neither team had a shot the first 13 minutes, including at 27:06. Sophomore Hope
Carter had a chance with a 1-on-1 with the
keeper; she passed it to herself as the keeper
fell down but Buettner got there first to kick
the ball out of danger.
At 24:32, the Orange and Black got on
board first. After a Shawnee defender tried
to clear the ball from inside her box, fresh-

and every game.
included Royals great George Brett let

out a roar.
Kansas City will host the first two
World Series games beginning Tuesday.
Coincidentally, it was the Cardinals who
the Royals beat for their only
World Series title in a dramatic 7-game series.
Regardless of the opponent, the Royals will carry an
11-game playoff win streak
into the World Series, one shy
of the major-league record.
That includes winning their
first eight games this season,
something that had never been done in
postseason history. Kansas City beat
Oakland in the wild card and swept
the Los Angeles Angels in the Division
Series.
Man, its incredible, said Royals
first baseman Eric Hosmer, who drove
in a run. These guys every day come to
play. If theyre not doing it offensively,
theyre doing it defensively with the
glove, just playing complete games and
weve got guys stepping up right now.
The Orioles, meanwhile, will limp
into the offseason after their first sweep
in 21 playoff series, dating to the days
when the club was called the St. Louis
Browns.
Making his first start in nearly two
weeks, Vargas shut down the vaunted
Orioles lineup. The only damage he
allowed came in the third inning, when
Ryan Flaherty led off with a home run
that just skirted the foul pole in right
field.
By that point, the Royals had already
manufactured a pair of runs.
Alcides Escobar singled off Orioles
starter Miguel Gonzalez to open the
game and Nori Aoki was drilled on the
right knee a couple pitches later. Royals
manager Ned Yost then opted to bunt
with Cain, one of his hottest hitters, to
man Aubrey Etzler got possession outside

the right post and launched a 22-yarder
over the top of the keeper and into the net
for a 1-0 edge.
Elida had three more efforts that could
have added a big second goal: at 14:44,
when junior Mychaela Johnson was denied
on a 16-yarder; at 9:55, when Halpern had
a defender on her hip from 14 yards on the
left side that hit the post and a defender
booted the orb out of danger; and at 9:01, as
Etzler got behind the defense for a 1-on-1
from the right wing but McPheron deflected her 14-yarder toward the other side.
Halpern tried to follow but was wide left.
Shawnee only had one shot on-goal
the first half but made good on it: at
5:14. Off a corner kick by freshman Madi
Wohlgamuth from the right side, she found
classmate Bella Fusillo inside that post and
her 67-yarder header wrongfooted Burnett
inside that same post for a 1-1 tie.
Shawnee will play 7:15 p.m. Tuesday.
Were the Orioles without

their three top stars? Yes. They
also surprised everyone with
their playoff run, so that is moot.
They play great defense
how many runs have they
stopped with outstanding fielding? and their pitching is
ridiculously lights-out. They also
make things happen the bunt
and stolen base are again part of
baseballs lexicon! and dont
depend on the 3-run homer, like
my Os of yesteryear (to great
effect) and this year (didnt work
the last four games) did.
And yes, they get breaks but
most coaches will tell you that
happens because you make

them.
Am I coronating them as
MLBs World Series champs?
Perish the thought.
Of course, they could all of
a sudden wake up and realize where they really are and
fold like a wet deck of cards.
The longer the Cardinals/
Giants series goes, the more
likely that could happen.
If I were KC, Id hope the
Giants clinch the next two
days.
Still, it makes for an interesting Series no matter what
happens.
Jennings
With 12:10 left in the first half, Troy Ricker hit the right
corner of the net from 10 yards directly in front. He repeated
that feat 21 seconds later to make it 4-0 and that left little doubt
as to the final outcome.
After 40 minutes, the home team already had fired 26 shots
(13 on-goal) to the Lancers two (one on-goal).
With 36:15 remaining in the match, Metzger struck a perfect cross from the right corner and Brad Rice whacked it in
from point-blank range to make it 5-0, Jennings.
Metzger got his second goal of the match at 33:56, a long
beauty from the left angle that curled into the upper right corner of the net.
The final Musketeer score came at 28:54 when Adams
leaped high to deflect a Fort Jennings shot but Dylan Weichart
kicked in the rebound.
Lincolnview ended the match with only seven shots, four of
which were on goal.
Musketeer goalkeepers Ryan Koester and Kyle Hellman
combined for three saves, none of them difficult.
Adams, on the other hand, had 11 saves, several of them of
the acrobatic variety.
Although the outcome was decided early, the match was a
hard-fought one to the final whistle. The officials dealt out four
yellow cards and several warnings.

thoughts
of her ex linger
We accept
DEAR ABBY: I have a serious problem

thats consuming my life. I know people say
you never really get over your first love, but
I dont know why after six years I still think
about my ex on a daily basis.
Abby, I am happily married. My husband
is the perfect man for me -- understanding,
sweet and patient. My ex, Chad, cheated
on me with other women and recently
married the one who effectively ended our
relationship.
I thought I had moved on, but I cant
seem to stop thinking about him. My ex
and I had a strong chemistry -- not just a
physical one -- that my husband and I dont.
Somehow I wonder if, while my husband is
the man of my dreams, Chad was my true
soul mate.
I dont want to jeopardize my marriage
because of a lurking shadow from my
past. How do I get over this and move
on? -- DESPERATE FOR ADVICE IN
CALIFORNIA
DEAR DESPERATE: Old habits are
hard to break, and sometimes memories do
linger to the point of being intrusive. While
it can be frustrating, this is not an indication
that someone who cheated on you multiple
times was your soul mate. If you had been
meant to be together forever, you would
still be together. Consider yourself lucky
that another woman freed you from that
unhealthy relationship so you could find the
man you married.
What you may miss is tension, drama,
uncertainty and pain, and thats not love.
The sooner you quit idealizing your ex, the
more clearly you will recognize this. And
if the unwanted thoughts persist, consult
a therapist because your problem is not
unique.
DEAR ABBY: While I was growing up,
my parents taught me and my siblings to
always keep a years salary (pre-taxes) in a
savings account that one never touches.
The problem is my bride and I feel that
were ready to buy a home, although we
dont have enough in our joint savings to
make a down payment. She feels I should
use my savings to make the down payment.

I dont feel right about it because this
savings technique has saved me twice in
my life. Once when I was a child and my
parents lost their jobs, and again when I
lost my job in the recession. Am I selfish
for wanting to keep my savings off limits?
-- MR. SAVINGS
DEAR MR. SAVINGS: No. I happen
to agree with your fiscally conservative
philosophy. You learned from experience
how important an emergency fund can
be. Because buying a home is not an
emergency, wait until you and your wife
have saved enough for the down payment.
Also, because the money in that savings
account was yours before marriage, it may
not be a joint asset, and it could save you a
third time if you dont spend it.
DEAR ABBY: My stepdaughter, age
18, has recently begun to send her father
text messages while we are in the same
room, rather than speak to him. Its as if she
doesnt want me in on the conversation. I
find her behavior rude.
If they need to speak privately, so be it
-- she can wait until Im out of the room
or request to speak to him elsewhere. But
I find it impolite of her to send him texts.
They are nothing confidential in nature, just
general conversation.
What are your thoughts on this? -BYSTANDER IN NEW YORK
DEAR BYSTANDER: What your
stepdaughter is doing is as rude as when
two people whisper to each other in front
of a third person. My thought is that your
husband, out of consideration for your
feelings, should either tell her -- or text her
-- to cut it out.

Unreal estate
Byron plans to sell his cows soon and retire. He

has his heart set on selling his farm for twice what
its worth to some rich city people, who will use it
as a weekend house during the summer. Then hell
spend his golden years making lawn whirligigs in his
workshop and drinking coffee down at the diner.
His farm wont be advertised for sale locally. No
one around here can afford to pay Byron double what
its worth, which is what hes asking. Instead, he has
his agent take out ads in the big city newspapers.

hours from the city, this historic house could be yours.
Come smell the roses.
Whats historic about it? I asked him.
The plumbing and the wiring, he said. Theres
a sign on the fuse box that says Thomas Edison slept
here. Is that historical enough for you?
The first city couple to see the place (he was a
television producer, she was a conceptual artist) told
Byron that they loved the house, that they loved the
400 acres, that they would love to pay him twice what
it was worth, but they couldnt buy it because its feng
shui was all wrong.
Byron was puzzled. My fung schwhat is wrong?
I been around cows all my life, and if you think you
can fung shway them better than I can, have at it!
The couple couldnt climb back into their giant black
SUV fast enough.
Byrons real estate agent tried to explain to Byron
that feng shui was the ancient, and now very popular,
Chinese theory of a houses energy. That the angles
and doors and windows of his old farmhouse were in
all the wrong places to trap all the good energy and
keep out the bad.
Your house is not on the dragons back like it
should be, Byron; its sitting right on the dragons left
nostril.

Horoscope
By Eugenia Last
THURSDAY, OCT. 16, 2014
Blondie
This will be an exciting year.

Everyone will be interested in
your plans and opinions. Your
unique ideas and creativity
will make you the center of
attention. Mixing business with
pleasure will bring favorable
results and lead to new,
prosperous proposals.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct.
23) -- You wont need to look
far for help. Your family and
friends will do everything
possible to assist you. Take the
advice given to you seriously,
without offense.
For Better or Worse
Beetle Bailey
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.

22) -- It is easy to get carried
away when you go out shopping
or spend time with someone
who has more money than you.
Plan ahead, be prudent and
limit your expenses.
SAGITTARIUS
(Nov.
23-Dec. 21) -- You may have
strong opinions, but you
shouldnt expect everyone to
agree with you. The qualities
that outsiders find so attractive
in you may not be so appealing
to your relatives.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19) -- Expect to encounter
a troubling relationship issue.
If you have been insensitive
to someone who looks up
to you, its best to do a little
backtracking
and
make
amends.

Obama: Ebola monitoring must be more aggressive

By JIM KUHNHENN
Associated Press
WASHINGTON President Barack
Obama vowed Wednesday that his administration would provide much more aggressive monitoring of Ebola cases in the United
States and warned that in an age of frequent
travel the disease could spread globally if
the world doesnt respond to the raging epidemic in West Africa.
In his most urgent comments on the spread
of the disease, Obama also sought to ease
growing anxiety and fears in the U.S. in the
aftermath of a second nurse being diagnosed
with Ebola after treating a patient in a Dallas
hospital. He said he had directed the Centers
Expands
Christmas tree and

wreath displays will go on
sale next week, Haggard
said. Keep an eye out for
trees and wreaths on display and for sale throughout the store.
In addition, the new
store departmental signage
will be installed this week.
The signs will be highly visible and hang from
the ceiling to identify our
departments, Haggard
said. This will help
streamline people from
one department to the next
and give them more space
to shop.
The
stores
Retail
Coordinator
Kelly
Williams said holiday/
party clothing, like formal
dresses, sweaters, fancier
shoes and suits, will be
on display and for sale in
mid-November.
The Annex is now our
storage area, which allows
us more retail space,
Williams said. We really
appreciate our customers
patience during our reorganization.
The Boutique is also
going through a transformation. Boutique Manager
Loise Sroufe said by moving the existing glass display cases and adding a
newly-purchased display
case, almost 200 square
feet of retail space will be
added to the department.
It will make shopping
much more convenient and
allow us to display and
sell more merchandise,
she said. The plan is to
have Christmas trees integrated into the Boutique,
as well.
Strayer said Christmas
sales went very well last
year and in turn, it helped
them help many people.
Because of the generosity donations of the
community and our dedicated workforce, we were
able to assist many people
without jobs with utility
and rent payments and provide them with groceries,
Strayer said.
Store hours are Thursday
3-7 p.m., Friday 1-4 p.m.
and Saturday 9 a.m.-noon.
Lawyer
for Disease Control and Prevention to step up

its response to new cases.
We want a rapid response team, a SWAT
team essentially, from the CDC to be on the
ground as quickly as possible, hopefully
within 24 hours, so that they are taking the
local hospital step by step though what needs
to be done, he said.
Obama spoke after cancelling a political campaign trip to convene a session of
top Cabinet officials involved in the Ebola
response both in the U.S. and in the West
African region where the disease has been
spreading at alarming rates.
Participants in the meeting were a roster of
Cabinet secretaries and top Obama advisers,
including Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel,
Attorney General Eric Holder, Health and

Human Services Secretary Sylvia Burwell
and Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen.
Martin Dempsey.
Hours before Obama canceled his trip,
officials confirmed that a second nurse at a
Dallas had tested positive for the virus after
treating an Ebola patient who later died.
The disclosure raised new fears regarding
the exposure by other health care workers.
Officials also revealed that the nurse was on
a commercial flight the evening before being
diagnosed.
The Texas developments added a new
domestic element to what has developed into
an Ebola crisis in the West African countries
of Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia. Obama
has been pressing the international community to step up its assistance in combating the
disease.
On Wednesday, Obama spoke by
phone with British Prime Minister David
Cameron, French President Franois
Hollande, German Chancellor Angela
Merkel and Italian Prime Minister Matteo
Renzi. The White House said Obama
stressed that the world must provide the
finances and personnel needed to bend
the curve of the epidemic and said it
amounts to a human tragedy as well as a
threat to international security.
He made a similar case to Japanese Prime
Minister Shinzo Abe on Tuesday, the White
House said.
Nurses in safety gear got Ebola; why wouldnt you?
WASHINGTON (AP) How

come nurses wearing protective gear
can catch Ebola from a patient, but
health officials keep saying you almost
certainly wont get it from someone sitting next to you on a plane?
First, the odds of an Ebola-infected
seatmate in the U.S. remain tiny, even
after the news that a nurse coming
down with the disease flew commercial
across the Midwest this week.
Then theres the extra screening
thats begun on airline passengers arriving from West Africa.
But even if you were to draw that
unlucky spot next to a traveler with
a yet-unknown infection, the disease
experts would consider you at little or
no risk.
Heres why:
THAT PERSON ON THE BUS

OR PLANE MIGHT NOT BE
CONTAGIOUS YET
People infected with Ebola arent
contagious until they start getting
symptoms, such as fever, body aches or
stomach pain, research shows.
So far, two infected travelers are
known to have flown U.S. commercial
airlines:
The Liberian man who died in a
Dallas hospital Oct. 8 wasnt ill when
he flew to the United States, according
to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention. So passengers on his
United Airlines flights arent considered at risk.
The nurse who flew Frontier
Airlines from Ohio back to Dallas on
Monday night wasnt experiencing
symptoms, either, the CDC said. But
by Tuesday morning she had a fever.
Because her temperature rose so
Bond
soon after traveling, everyone on her

flight will be interviewed by health
officials, and passengers determined to
be potentially at risk will be monitored.
CDC Director Tom Frieden says thats
for an extra margin of safety.
We think there is an extremely
low likelihood that anyone traveling on
this plane would have been exposed,
Frieden said Wednesday.
He also said the nurse shouldnt
have taken a commercial flight because
she was among the hospital workers
being monitored after potential exposure to the Liberian patient.
BUT WHAT IF THAT GUY ON

THE PLANE IS SICK?
Even if a traveler is already feeling
sick, Ebola germs dont spread through
the air the way flu does.
Ebola is transmitted through direct
contact with bodily fluid, such as getting an infected persons blood or vomit
into your eyes or through a cut in the
skin, experts say.
What if a sick persons wet sneeze
hits your hand and then you absentmindedly rub your eyes? Could that
do it?
Asked about such scenarios recently, Frieden allowed that, theoretically,
it would not be impossible to catch
the virus that way. But its considered
highly unlikely. No such case has been
documented.
Should you be worried you might
have gotten it by sitting next to someone? he said Wednesday. The answer
to that is no.
Frieden said what actually happens
in the real world and he cited four
decades of dealing with Ebola in Africa
is that the disease is spread through

Weber also shared good news on the districts 5-year Forecast he will file with the Ohio
Department of Education by Oct. 31. Ending balances are well into the black for all five years,
with $4,649,997 on June 30, 2015; $4,912,244 in
2016; $5,042,863 in 2017; $5,002,895 in 2018; and
$4,828,491 in 2019.
An addition to the Treasurers Report was the
districts receipt of $10,545 in the form of a Bureau
of Workers Compensation rebate.
The board also approved a Memorandum of
Understanding between Ottoville Local Board of
Education and Ottoville Education Association as
follows: The Board of Education, in agreement
with teachers employed by the board, adopts the
standards based evaluation procedure in conformance with the framework for evaluation of teachers developed and maintained by the State Board
of Education. The OLEA and Administration will
follow procedures for evaluation as outlined in the
local NEOLA policies 3220 and 1530.
Superintendent Scott Mangas said the MOU

Runser is also accused of not filing
an inventory of Kochs real and personal
assets in a timely manner. As executor of
Kochs estate, he did not file the inventory by Nov. 9, 2011, as required and did
not respond to an April 2, 2012, notice
from Probate Court. After an extension
was granted until Aug. 24, 2012, that
deadline was also missed. The inventory was filed in November, more than
15 months after Koch was appointed as
executor/administrator. The account of
Kochs estate, due Feb. 9, 2012, was not
filed until January 2014.
Questions about the bank account
for the estate were also raised in the
case. The account was opened Jan. 12,
2012. A check for nearly $112,000 was
deposited at the end of May from the
sale of Kochs residential property in
Van Wert; however, instead of distributing the receipts of the sale according to
the instructions in her will, Runser is
accused of writing a series of checks to
either himself or to his law firm totaling
$80,965. Another deposit was made in
September 2012 of over $28,000 from
other possessions.
After making partial payment from
the account to those entities named
in the will and the payment of estate
taxes and assorted debts, there was
only $4,000 remaining in the account.
A $4,000 check to the law firm reduced
the balance to approximately $57. The
account was overdrawn by a $900 check
written to the law firm a few months
later. Then after depositing more than
$71,000 into the account from personal

funds, the check writing resumed. After
another infusion of funds from either a
personal account or from another fund
Runser was managing, estate distributions totaling over $100,000 were finally
made over 18 months after the original
account deposit was made.
The charge states, Throughout the
entire administration of the estate, at
least two of the three beneficiaries of
the estate had been attempting to reach
[Runser] regarding the status of Kochs
estate. They had an extremely hard time
reaching [Runser] and when they were
able to speak [with him], he was unable/
unwilling to provide them with any
substantive information regarding the
estate.
The accusation of misusing the funds
is bolstered by the following statement
from the Supreme Court complaint:
When relator inquired into the funds
that [Runser] has withdrawn from the
Koch estate account, [Runser] attempted
to minimize his conduct by stating that
the funds were for attorney and executor
fees for him and Putman. [Runser) neither requested, nor received, permission
from the Van Wert County Probate Court
to receive attorney or executor fees from
the Koch estate.
The second count deals with irregularities with a trustee of a trust fund for
Barbara Mary Shackley. This charge
contains many similar violations as
charged in the first count. A trust beneficiary, Mary Ann Jensen, hired a law
firm to get to the bottom of issues she
was having with Runser. Over almost 19
much more direct contact with a sick

person.
The World Health Organization says
the same thing, and notes that few studies have found Ebola in an infected
persons saliva, generally in patients
who were severely ill.
Still, the CDC identifies someone
who spends a prolonged period within
3 feet of a person who is sick with
Ebola as a contact who should be
watched for signs of catching it for 21
days, just in case.
Pity the poor guy whos prone to air
sickness will other fliers suspect its
Ebola?
NURSES, ON THE OTHER

HAND, WORK WITH PATIENTS AT
THEIR MOST CONTAGIOUS
As Ebola patients get sicker, they
become more and more infectious.
The amount of virus in their bodily
fluids climbs, and the disease progresses to projectile vomiting and extreme
diarrhea, and sometimes bleeding.
All the while, hospital workers are
drawing blood, inserting IVs, changing
diapers, wiping up.
Doctors, nurses and family caretakers have suffered an especially heavy
toll in the West African nations where
Ebola is spreading out of control, and
where there isnt enough protective
equipment or help.
So far, the three people in this outbreak known to have caught Ebola
outside of West Africa two in Dallas
and one in Spain all are hospital
workers.
All three tended fatal Ebola cases,
in hospitals where health care workers
were supposed to be safeguarded by
their protective equipment.
will alleviate frequent changes to the district and

OLEAs negotiated agreement when changes come
down from the state.
A motion was approved to acknowledge the
Ottoville Athletic Boosters for all the hard work
and funds they have donated to the school to benefit the students. The total contributed since 2002
is $419,859.30. Mangas said the boosters have
recently approved press boxes and soccer shelters.
These projects will add approximately $50,000
to that total when they are completed, Mangas
added.
Mangas also announced Ron Miller had placed
second in Small School Transportation in the Ohio
State Highway Patrols Bus Inspection. Miller
placed first last year.
I think we need to acknowledge Ron has been
in the top two the last two years, Mangas said.
He does a really good job keeping our buses in
tip-top shape.
In other business, the board:
Accepted and thanked the following individuals/businesses for their generous donations to
Ottoville Local Schools:
USING THE PROTECTIVE

GEAR IS TRICKY
Putting on a gown, gloves, hospital
mask and clear face shield might not
sound that hard.
But once the equipment is contaminated, the steps for carefully removing
each piece without infecting yourself
are painstaking. Its easy to slip up.
Spains health authorities suspect the
assistant nurse in Madrid was infected
after touching her gloved hand to her
face while taking off her gear.
U.S. officials are still investigating
what went wrong in Dallas. Frieden
acknowledged that the CDC did too
little to help the hospital train and protect its staff when they were confronted
with the first Ebola case diagnosed in
the U.S.
WHOS MOST AT RISK NOW?

More than 70 other workers who
might have been exposed while treating the Liberian patient, Thomas Eric
Duncan, at Texas Health Presbyterian
are being monitored for symptoms of
Ebola.
Meanwhile, Frieden offers optimism about the people in Dallas who
interacted freely with Duncan before he
was hospitalized.
There are 48 people being watched
because of their potential exposure,
including the family he was staying
with when he got sick. They have
passed symptom-free through the time
period when infected people most often
come down with the illness.
As they approach the ends of their
various 21-day incubation periods,
Frieden said, its decreasingly likely
any will develop Ebola.

Award
months, Runser wrote check from the

trust fund account to himself or his law
firm totaling $471,350.
In a conversation with a representative of the law firm representing Jensen, Runser allegedly admitted
that he had: inappropriately borrowed
funds from the trust. On another
occasion, Runser wrote to Jensens
attorney that he had not done a good
job in handling trust activity during
the last several years, and that he had
not responded to requests for information from Jensen and that he had not
completed annual trust accountings
due to the anticipated time involved
in creating reports.
The third count involves Runsers
Interest on Lawyer Trust Account
(IOLTA), which was overdrawn several
times in 2014.
The complaint contends, At a minimum, [Runser] used funds from his
IOLTA to repay a personal and/or business line of credit. He also withdrew
funds from his IOLTA on an as-needed
basis, rather than as-earned, and he ran
estate funds through his IOLTA rather
than depositing them into a separate
estate account. Furthermore, [Runser]
misappropriated client funds from his
IOLTA resulting in a shortage of at least
$15,739.36.
The case against Runser is not on the
schedule of the Board of Commissioners
on Grievances and Discipline posted
online. This body is the same one former
Judge Phil W. Campbell was brought
before in 2010 on judicial misconduct
charges.
