ELIDA Upgrades to the village wastewater treatment plant highlighted the Elida Village Council meeting Tuesday evening. The Ohio Environmental Protection Agency is mandating the plant have a screening process. Village Administrator Scott Fessler reported three different engineering firms have been interviewed and he visited two sites to check on their work. I would like to go with the recommendation to contract with Jones & Henry for work at the wastewater treatment plant, not to exceed $60,000. The goal is for them to suggest current status and what the plant should be doing in 20 years and how we achieve that goal. This will make our plant more efficient and have fewer maintenance issues, Fessler said. Fessler also proposed to council the annexation of property currently in the village to American Township. We have been approached by attorney Younkman representing a resident who wants to have his property at 2641 Baty Road annexed into American Township. Fessler said. By annexing this corner lot, it would make it feasible to split his lot for building purposes. Council took the proposal under advisement. Council President Kim Hardy presented a vote on

Railfans to host Train Show

Information submitted LIMA Since 1999, the Putnam Association of Railfans has gathered locally to promote the hobby of model railroading and the preservation of railroad history. The clubs home base is the Fort Jennings Depot, where recently an open house organized by the group entertained and educated almost 400 visitors. Now the Putnam Railfans invite the general public to their annual train show at the Allen County Fairgrounds. Featured will be model railroading material of all gauges, railroad memorabilia and operating model railroad layouts for the youngsters and for those just young at heart. This is a great time to grab that hard-to-find Christmas gift or to just take in the nostalgia of an old train set around the Christmas tree. Its truly an American classic, and its right here for everyone to come out and enjoy, club Vice President Wes Klir noted. The train show will be held at the Allen County Fairgrounds from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday. Admission is $5 for adults with free for children 12 and under.

STATE/LOCAL Marion Township waits for response from Delphos on fire contract
Information submitted MARION TOWNSHIP The Marion Township Trustees met Monday with the following members present: Joseph Youngpeter, Howard Violet and Jerry Gilden. The purpose of the meeting was to pay bills and conduct ongoing business. The minutes of the previous meeting were read and approved. Trustees then reviewed the bills and gave approval for 17 checks totaling $22,300. Road Foreman Elwer spoke with the county regarding helping with the trees and brush removal from the ditch in the Cremean Road area and they will provide help where needed. Fiscal Officer Kimmet gave the trustees the Fund Status and Bank Reconciliation reports from Nov. 30 for their review and signature. He gave trustees Youngpeter and Violet their bonds needed to get sworn in for their next term. Two representatives from the Delphos City Council were present to see why the township has not contacted the city regarding the Fire Contract. The trustees presented the letter that was emailed to all of them plus the mayor and safety service. A hard copy was also delivered to the City Building, all of which was done on Oct. 16, which asked the city to get back with the township regarding the level of services the township will receive due to the reduction in personnel. The trustees stated no one has contacted the township regarding this and this is what the township is waiting on before a contract can be negotiated. There being no further business a motion to adjourn by Violet was seconded by Gilden and passed unanimously.

E - The Environmental Magazine Dear EarthTalk: What are some ideas for being greener this holiday season? Beth Livingston, Camden, NJ

While the holidays are festive and fun, they can take a toll on the environment. All that shopping, decoration, food preparation and travel adds up to more carbon emissions and more waste. But there are ways to minimize our impact and still celebrate the season in grand style. For starters, buy fewer gifts. Homemade, personal gifts are always appreciated as much or more than something store-bought. Paint a painting, bake a cake, or make a playlist of favorite songs. EarthEasy.com recommends giving services instead of goods to cut down on the materialism of the holidays: A great gift could be an hours massage at a local spa, or music lessons for a budding musician. Other service gift ideas include childcare or tutoring, dog walking, cooking, window-washing, a car wash and vacuum or even Internet/computer lessons. Another way to cut down on the amount of stuff passing under your tree is by having a Secret Santa exchange among grown-ups so that every adult doesnt have to get gifts for several others. The kids, who participated in the Nov. 25 Fun Day at the Y, are showing the crafts that Another way to save energy and waste is they created during the activity filled day.

The smaller light emitting diode bulbs dont get hot to the touch (and are less likely to start a fire) and consume a fraction of the electricity of their incandescent predecessors while lasting 10 times longer. HolidayLEDs. com gives customers who recycle their old holiday lights with them a voucher for 15 percent off a new order of LED lights. Believe it or not, your choice of a Christmas tree affects your environmental footprint as well. The Epoch Times reports that artificial trees are not necessarily the answer, as most are made out of petrochemicals, PVC, metals or sometimes even lead, and cant usually be recycled so end up in landfills after a few years of useful life. Furthermore, some 80 percent of artificial trees are made in China, meaning shipping them on trucks, railways and container ships uses a lot of fuel and emits a lot of carbon dioxide accordingly. Getting a real tree, preferably one that is organic and sustainably harvested by a local tree farmer, is a better choice. After all, real trees provide habitat for wildlife while they are growing, and they filter dust and pollen out of the air while producing oxygen and absorbing carbon dioxide. The Epoch Times adds that typically one to three tree seeds are planted for every Christmas tree harvested in the U.S. And if you get a potted (living) Christmas tree, you can keep it for years after the holidays pass, either in its pot (or a bigger one as it grows) or in the ground outside. Of course, another way to keep your carbon footprint down over the holidays is by just staying home. A third of the carbon emissions we generate in our daily lives come from driving our cars, so why not stay off the roads over the holidays? And air travel is one of the biggest carbon splurges any of us indulge in, so not jetting across the country to visit in-laws might be the best environmental action you take all year.

VW First Presbyterian to host Christmas open house

Information submitted VAN WERT The First Presbyterian Church of Van Wert will host their Christmas open house An Old Fashioned Christmas from 4-6 p.m. Dec. 22. Fun, food, music and fellowship will be found Sunday afternoon as the church opens its doors to welcome all to celebrate together the true meaning of Christmas. This will be the churchs first year for a Christmas Open House and members hope to make this celebration a yearly tradition.

The Presbyterian Church is one of Van Werts finest examples of 15th century Gothic architecture which features grand spires, flying buttresses, ribbed vaulting, lancet arches and 22 beautiful stained glass windows.

For more information, please contact the church office at 419-238-3670.

Holidays are festive and fun, they can take a toll on the environment. One way to be greener is to get a real tree, especially a potted (living) tree, which you can keep for years after the holidays pass. (Leonora Enking photo, courtesy Flickr)

Lawmakers OK Move Over measure for drivers

COLUMBUS (AP) A bill passed by Ohio lawmakers would require drivers approaching construction and maintenance vehicles to slow down and shift lanes if possible, as theyre already required to do when nearing emergency vehicles on the roadside. The House passed the updated Move Over Law on Wednesday, sending it to the governor for consideration. It would apply when motorists approach construction, maintenance and public utilities commission vehicles parked on the side of the road with their alert lights turned on. The directors of the state Department of Transportation and the Ohio Turnpike say the measure would boost safety for roadway workers. The Department of Transportation says motorists have had more than 600 collisions with its vehicles and equipment since 2008. In one case last April, a 27-year-old employee was killed.

Double-amputee vet helps stranded motorists

FAIRBORN (AP) A Marine veteran who lost his legs in Afghanistan is again being called a hero this time for helping stuck motorists out during a snowstorm. Larry Draughn, 26, used his pickup truck to pull out three vehicles that ran off the road and into ditches during Sundays ice and snow in southwest Ohio, the Dayton Daily News reported. He said he saw the slide-offs from his backyard, where his son was sledding. I didnt want to see anybody stranded on the side of that road; it wasnt safe, he said. It was a sheet of ice and people kept going into ditches behind my house. I wouldnt call it heroic. But 77-year-old Wendell Ledbetter and his wife, Mildred, disagree. He said other vehicles were sliding past them when Draughn arrived to help, joking that he wasnt worried about getting into the soggy ditch to hook up to their car. He said, Dont worry about it. Ive got metal knees. They dont get wet, Ledbetter recounted.

Corn performance results released

BY JAMES J. HOORMAN Ag Educator OSU-Extension Putnam County The 2013 Ohio Corn Performance tests have been released. This article is a summary of the results and is written by Geyer, A; Minyo, R; Thomison, P; and Lohnes, D. 2013. In 2013, 240 corn hybrids representing 28 companies and 33 commercial brands were evaluated in the Ohio Corn Performance Test (OCPT). Four tests were established in the Southwestern/West Central/ Central (SW/WC/C) region and three tests were established in the Northwestern (NW) and North Central/ Northeastern (NC/NE) regions (for a total of 10 test sites statewide). Hybrid entries in the regional tests were planted in either an early or a full season maturity trial. These test sites provided a range of growing conditions and production environments. The 2013 growing season throughout much of Ohio was characterized by favorable conditions for corn growth and development. Rainfall was generally below normal in May but was near normal to well above normal in June and July, during mid-to-late vegetation stages, pollination, and early grain fill. Near normal to below normal temperatures in July and August mitigated the impact of dry conditions in August and September. At most test sites, rainfall was below normal in September and above normal in October. Persistent rains in October delayed harvest at several locations. Disease and insect pests were not a significant factor at most test sites. Record high yields were achieved at most test loca-

COLUMBUS Nutrient management, agricultural drainage and state tax policy were among issues voting delegates addressed at the 95th annual meeting of the Ohio Farm Bureau Federation. Delegates also established a committee to study changes to the membership model for the organization. The organizations policy, enacted by the 346 delegates, will direct Farm Bureaus actions for the coming year. The meeting took place Dec. 4-6 in Columbus. OFBF reiterated its commitment to assist farmers as they take steps to improve water quality. Without approving any specific legislation, delegates supported nutrient management education programs that include certification for fertilizer applicators. Farm Bureau policy also states that Ohio should have a comprehensive reduction strategy for all nutrient sources. The agricultural portions should be based on the 4 - R principles, be economically feasible for farmers and provide clear criteria regarding suspension of certification. On taxes, delegates recognized that tax reform is often a trade-off between taxing methods; they created policy that prioritizes income taxes over property taxes as revenue sources for state and local governments. Delegates also prioritized how oil and gas severance tax revenue should be used: First use should be for oil and gas regulatory programs, followed by local economic development and then income tax reduction. Delegates also called for any tax credits offered on new severance taxes to proportionally benefit producers and landowners with royalty interests. Farm Bureau delegates voted to support streamlining of the petition ditch process and development of a statewide plan that provides consistency to petition ditch easements and maintenance. In addition, delegates called for an alternative funding mechanism for Ohio State Universitys Agricultural Technical Institute. Other state policies approved pistol caliber rifles during deer gun season, called for improved transparency in electric choice programs and supported steps to protect chemical sensitive crops, bees and other pollinators. Delegates also voted to support market-based commodity programs in the farm bill. See POLICY, page 10

Shanahan vs. Snyder the next WWE pay-per-view?

Metcalfes Musings
JIM METCALFE
ently, Snyder is very fond of Griffith? Particularly more so if RG III strongly expresses a desire to be traded? Snyder is less hands-on than he used to be but he still puts his two cents in. I wish a certain owner who I wont name (Jones) but I will give you (Jones) three guesses (Jones) to the south and east of our nations capital would follow those steps! This was an interesting tidbit I ran across the other day. It seems that three former University of Southern Mississippi soccer coaches sued alleging sexual harassment and discrimination, as well as for retaliation from school employees. Nothing out of the ordinary, right? It seemingly happens all the time these days and there are legitimate reasons for doing so; no one wants people to be mistreated in their jobs. What caught my eye is that all three were males and they coached the womens soccer team. In this context, the US Supreme Court declined to hear arguments disputing a Mississippi Supreme Court ruling reversing a lower courts $1.2 million judgement against the university.

By JIM METCALFE Sports Editor jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com So, Robert Griffith III is being shut down for the rest of the season. This just leads more credence it was pretty apparent watching RG IIIs press conference after Sundays game and other reports that there is a war going on between head coach Mike Shanahan and owner Daniel Snyder on the direction of the team. I guess that makes sense if you are afraid your franchise QB is playing hurt and could get hurt more in the last three games, especially if the Redskins tank the. However, Griffith apparently is not pleased with this decision but is playing the good team guy. Guess who will win that war, especially since, appar-

Winston humbled by Heisman talk, awards attention

Associated Press LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. The first time Florida State quarterback Jameis Winston ever thought about winning the Heisman Trophy, he was a 12-year-old kid playing video games. Playing NCAA 2006 was the first time I was aware of the Heisman, he said Wednesday. When you could create a player and do the Road to Glory and you could get the Heisman. Now that road could end with him holding the real thing, and several other big awards. Winston is the overwhelming favorite to win the award now that a sexual assault complaint against him in Tallahassee has been closed without charges being filed. Winston enters todays College Football Awards Show at Disney nominated for two of the nights top awards the Maxwell Award for the nations top player and the Davey OBrien quarterback award. He joins Texas A&M quarterback and reigning Heisman winner Johnny Manziel, as well as Alabama quarterback AJ McCarron, who are both nominated for the same awards. The now 19-year-old Winston described the week since Florida State secured its spot in the BCS national championship game as a whirlwind but acknowledged he goes into college footballs version of awards season humbled even as a huge Heisman favorite. Obviously, all the Heisman stuff, I really admire the people that have voted for me and all that stuff, Winston said. So, like I said, its overwhelming to me. Should Winston claim the Heisman, it would be the second consecutive year that the award went to a freshman. Though that would also mean his name isnt called, McCarron said it would be a feat that would not be derided by the fifth-year senior, who just missed a shot at leading Alabama to a third consecutive national championship. It doesnt make me feel any way. Im happy for those guys, he said. Johnnys one of my good friends. Jameis, Id be happy for him, too. I dont have any hatred against anybody, or against the Heisman committee or whoever votes on it. Theyre going to vote how theyre going to vote. Im happy and like I said, I go home at night and I can pull out my three national championship rings and smile pretty big and be pretty happy. I dont need an individual award to tell me what Ive achieved. Still, he said the invitation to New York, which will be his first trip to New York, is something he will savor. Of course it made me feel good. I kind of smiled, proved a lot of people wrong. But I also feel like I earned it and I deserve it, McCarron added. I think if you look atthe three years of me starting, Id put my numbers up (against) anybody in the countryWhat, 13 interceptions my whole three years starting? I mean, a lot of guys throw that in one year. I feel like Ive taken care of the ball, Ive done all the right things on and off the field. So if the award goes by

Woods yardstick for playing Masters: Can he win?

By DOUG FERGUSON Associated Press

their mission statement, I feel like I fit it pretty well. Wednesday was also a lot more low key this time around for Manziel, who had his hopes of a Heisman repeat clouded by less than stellar performances late in the year and four losses by the Aggies. Though hes granted a vote this year as a Heisman winner, Manziel said he was going to follow the Heisman Trust and not reveal his vote but added he didnt vote for himself in first or second place. Its a possibility, Manziel said of the chances of seeing consecutive freshmen win. I guess well find out on Saturday. But its crazy to have that long of a barrier and then potentially we could have two back-to-back. So definitely a neat deal, though. While there is lots of intrigue about whether he could enter the NFL draft after the season ends, Manziel said he will take time after the season to discuss it with his mentors and coaches but likes his readiness. In my mind, I feel like Im playing for the most part at a high level, he added. Im putting the ball where I want it to be, and Im throwing it with a lot of velocity. So in my mind, I think I am. As for Winston, he said he hasnt started to envision holding the Heisman at the end of the week. It would be an honor, man, Winston added. If that happens, just to look in the stands and see my family and see my coach, and say Hey, I made you happy. I made your proud. Its not really for me. Its for my family and my teammates. My teammates, theyre going to like that, because my teammates want me to get it and my family, of course they want me to get it. So its more about them than me.

Football Roundup
left disappointed by the way the season went for his team. The Crimson Tide was knocked out of a chance to play for a third straight national title after losing to Auburn. Mosley will end his college career when Alabama meets Oklahoma on Jan. 2 in the Sugar Bowl. He leads Alabama with 102 tackles, has seven tackles for losses and broke up five passes. Sam, who grew up in nearby Hitchcock, Texas, enjoyed returning to his home state for the ceremony. Sam became the first player from Missouri to be a finalist for the Lombardi Award after piling up 18 tackles for losses and 10 sacks. He also returned a fumble for a touchdown. Barr is tied for fifth in the nation with 20 tackles for losses. He also has 10 sacks, 62 tackles and forced five fumbles this season. He was honored to be a finalist for the award. Michigan States Narduzzi wins Broyles Award LITTLE ROCK, Ark. Michigan State defensive coordinator Pat Narduzzi won the annual Broyles Award given to the top college assistant coach. Narduzzi, in his seventh season for the fourth-ranked Spartans, was honored at a luncheon in Little Rock. Hes responsible for guiding a Michigan State defense that earned a spot in the Rose Bowl against No. 5 Stanford with a 34-24 win over Ohio State in the Big Ten Conference championship game. The Spartans (12-1) were first in the country this season in total defense, allowing an average of 248.2 yards per game. Its the third straight season Michigan State has ranked among the top 10 nationally. The Spartans were fourth in the country in allowing 12.7 points per game. Narduzzi has served as defensive coordinator under Mark Dantonio for the past 10 seasons, including three years together at Cincinnati from 2004-06. The Spartans also led the nation in rushing defense this season, allowing just 80.8 yards on the ground per game. The award is named for former Arkansas coach Frank Broyles, who is noted for developing assistants into head coaches. A number of his aides went on to stellar careers, including Hayden Fry, Joe Gibbs, Jimmy Johnson, Johnny Majors, Jackie Sherrill and Barry Switzer. Fry, Majors and Switzer were on this years selection committee. See ROUNDUP, page 7

THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. Tiger Woods said long ago he would give up golf when he felt he could play his best and still not win. That includes his lifetime invitation to the Masters. Let me put it to you this way, Woods explained last week at his World Challenge. Im not going to beat Arnolds record. Im not playing that long, thats for sure. Palmer set a record in 2004 by playing in his 50th consecutive Masters. Woods won his first green jacket when he was 21 and with reasonable health (a big assumption considering his injuries), he would seem to be in the best position to break that record. Even with his injuries, the Masters is the one major Woods has never missed. He just doesnt appear the least bit interested in that kind of a record. For me, I always want to win, he said. So if I cant win, why tee it up? Thats just my own personal belief. And I know what it takes to prepare to win and what it takes to go out there and get the job done, and theres going to become a point in time where I just cant do it anymore. We all as athletes face that moment. Im a ways from that moment in my sport, but when that day happens, Ill make a decision and thats it. But for Woods or any golfer, its tough to know when that day happens. See GOLF, page 7

Associated Press Pitts Donald wins Lombardi Award HOUSTON Pittsburghs Aaron Donald picked up another award Wednesday night, winning the Rotary Lombardi Award. Donald beat out Alabama linebacker C.J. Mosley, Missouri defensive end Michael Sam and UCLA linebacker Anthony Barr for the award given annually to the nations top college lineman. Its already been a big week for Donald, a senior defensive tackle who won the Bronko Nagurski award given to the nations top college defensive player Monday. Its a true blessing and a true honor for people to notice me and notice the hard work I put into this game, Donald said. The 6-foot, 285-pound Donald leads the nation with 26 tackles for losses and his 28 career sacks are tops among active players in the Football Bowl Subdivision and fourth in school history. Donald has 10 sacks, 54 tackles and has forced four fumbles this season. Though Pittsburgh is headed to the play Bowling Green in the Little Caesars Pizza Bowl on Dec. 26, Donald was disappointed that his 6-6 team didnt do better. Mosley was another finalist who was

Ohio State, Clemson set for Orange Bowl

By SANDRA HARWITT Associated Press HOLLYWOOD, Fla. The last time Ohio State and Clemson got together in a bowl game, Buckeyes coach Woody Hayes punched a Tigers player and was fired the next day. On Wednesday at the Orange Bowl news conference, Ohio State coach Urban Meyer and Clemson counterpart Dabo Swinney traded compliments, praising each others teams. Clemson won the previous meeting, 17-15 in the 1978 Gator Bowl. In that game, Hayes punched Clemson nose guard Charlie Bauman after he intercepted a late pass. Meyer has led the Buckeyes to a 12-1 record this year, losing to Michigan State 34-24 on Saturday night in the Big Ten championship game. Clemson lost two games this season, to top-ranked Florida State and the regular- season finale to South Carolina. This is a great reward for another excellent season, Swinney said at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel. Its great to be competing against a great quality opponent like Ohio State. I dont have any doubt that this will be a great matchup. Meyer offered similar praise, saying: Ohio State hasnt been here in a long time and we have a lot of fans in South Florida. I think Clemson and my good friend Dabo Swinney will be a great opponent and it should be an exciting game. At stake for Meyer is a chance to finish a fourth season at 13-1 since 2006. Meyer is the first coach to lead three different teams - Utah, Florida and Ohio State - to a BCS Bowl game. Its been a two-year magical run, Meyer said. We experienced some incredible success over the last two years and were going to try and get our 13th win. I can tell you this, every team in America wakes up in August and wants to play in a BCS Bowl game and were one of the few teams that get to do that so were honored to be here. The Buckeyes won their sole Orange Bowl appearance in 1977, beating Colorado. This is Clemsons fifth invitation to the Orange Bowl and second in three years. The Tigers most recent Orange Bowl outing will not bring back good memories. They allowed West Virginia a BCSrecord 70 points in their 70-33 loss. Ohio State and Clemson come into the Orange Bowl led by star quarterbacks. Both teams have relied heavily on their offense during the season and both have averaged 40 points per game. The Buckeyes Braxton Miller threw for 1,860 yards and 22 touchdowns and rushed for 1,033 yards and an additional 10 touchdowns. When you can count on one finger how many losses you have as a star quarterback its pretty good, Swinney said about Miller. Hes a thousand-yard rusher and I think he missed three games this year. Tajh Boyd passed for 3,473 yards and 29 touchdowns. He rushed for 273 yards and managed an additional nine touchdowns for the Tigers. Ive been watching Tajh Boyd play for many years now and I think hes transitioned from a good player to a great player, Meyer added. Hes a dynamic thrower. And as with most excellent quarterbacks his surrounding cast might be the best in America. The Orange Bowl is Jan. 3 at Sun Life Stadium.

Other finalists were Auburns Rhett Lashlee, Baylors Philip Montgomery, Florida States Jeremy Pruitt and Dukes Kurt Roper. Auburns Malzahn wins Home Depot Coach of the Year ORLANDO, Fla. Auburns Gus Malzahn has been named Home Depot Coach of the Year and Washingtons Austin Seferian-Jenkins was selected the John Mackey Award winner for the nations outstanding tight end. The announcements were made Wednesday. Both awards will be presented today as part of the College Football Awards Show at Disneys Boardwalk. In his first season as Auburn coach, Malzahn led the Tigers to a 12-1 record and berth in the BCS national championship game against Florida State on Jan. 6. A win in the title game would make Auburns improvement from 3-9 in 2012 the best in FBS history. Malzahn is only the second first-year coach to lead his team to the national championship game. Seferian-Jenkins becomes the first Mackey Award winner from Washington and third from the Pac-12. Malzahn, Mason receive SEC awards BIRMINGHAM, Ala. Southeastern Conference coaches have voted Auburns Gus Malzahn coach of the year and picked

his star tailback Tre Mason as the top offensive player. Alabama linebacker C.J. Mosley and Missouri defensive end Michael Sam are co-defensive players of the year. The SEC released the winners on Wednesday. Alabama receiver/return man Christion Jones is special teams player of the year. Mississippi receiver Laquon Treadwell is freshman of the year. Texas A&M left tackle Jake Matthews receives the Jacobs Blocking Trophy. Georgia quarterback Aaron Murray is ScholarAthlete of the Year. Malzahn and Mason have led No. 2 Auburn into the national championship game Jan. 6 against No. 1 Florida State. Mason is a Heisman Trophy finalist. Coaches were not allowed to vote for their own players. ACC coaches vote FSUs Winston player of year GREENSBORO, N.C. The Atlantic Coast Conferences coaches have selected Florida State quarterback Jameis Winston as the leagues player of the year and Dukes David Cutcliffe as the coach of the year.

Palmer never won another PGA Tour event after the Bob Hope Classic in 1973, though he remained competitive for many years. Several players eligible for the Champions Tour are hesitant about moving on. When is it time? In golf, you can still win golf tournaments in your 50s and guys have done it, Woods replied. Probably the more difficult thing is that you can still finish top 10, top five, but youre probably just not quite as efficient as you need to be to win golf tournaments. But you can still be there. Might he change his mind about the Masters as he gets older? It doesnt sound like it. Mellowing on that? No. Ill be on that first tee starting out the event, Im sure, he added with a smile and a dose of sarcasm. So I mean, you hit a good drive and you cant get to where you can see the flag? I dont know why its even fun. STENSON AWARD: Henrik Stenson has won the Golf Writers Trophy from the Association of Golf Writers, awarded to the top golfer who was born or lives in Europe, along with European teams. Stenson became the first player this year to win the FedEx Cup on the PGA Tour and the Race to Dubai on the European Tour. Nearly two-thirds of the AGW members made Stenson their first choice on a ballot that included U.S. Open champion Justin Rose and Europes Solheim Cup team that won on American soil

Musings

for the first time. Stenson was the first Swedish male to win the award. Annika Sorenstam won the award twice. Stenson primarily lives at Lake Nona in Orlando, Fla. IN THE BAG: Jack Nicklaus wont have a bouquet of head covers in his bag when he plays the PNC Father-Son Challenge this weekend, though the 14 clubs in his bag have changed from his prime. Nicklaus noted when he played on the PGA Tour, he carried a driver and a 3-wood, a 1-iron through a 9-iron, pitching wedge, sand wedge and putter. Now Ive got a driver, a 3-wood, a 4-wood and a 5-wood, he explained last week in a conference call. Im not a big hybrid guy, although Im playing with one right now and I took out the 2-iron. Thats pretty much where I am. Im usually a 3-iron through 9-iron, pitching wedge and sand wedge. I dont know if thats 14 or 15 (clubs) but itll be 14 when I tee it up. No other player hit more memorable shots with a 1-iron than Nicklaus, a club that featured in three of his majors the 1972 U.S. Open at Pebble Beach, the 1975 Masters and the 1967 U.S. Open at Baltusrol. But there were times when he benched the

1-iron. I used to even go to Augusta when I carried a 1-iron a lot and sometimes Id put in maybe a 4- or 5-wood, simply because you needed some elevation to stop it on the greens and some of the lies you played, Nicklaus added. THE HANEY SHOW: Hank Haney has gone from writing a book on his years with Tiger Woods to hosting his own radio show on SiriusXM. The radio network continues to beef up its programming. It already has shows for Henrik Stenson and Ian Poulter, along with 2-time Masters champion, architect and golf savant Ben Crenshaw. Haney will host Hank Haney Golf Radio, an instructional-based show that will air Saturday and Sunday at 10 a.m. ET starting on Jan. 3. The program will be geared around Haneys teaching philosophy and he will take calls from listeners who want help with their games. Haney also will offer his analysis on todays players and take on current topics, which are sure to include Woods. TWEETING TIGER: Jason Dufner jokingly tweeted to Woods that the schedule of the World Challenge be changed so Dufner could watch Auburn in the SEC title game last week. Woods replied on Twitter, Petition denied.

It was a significant only because it was Woods first tweet in more than a month. It was his 35th tweet in the span of a year, most of them commercially related. And that Dufner tweet was the first of get this FIVE tweets in two days. Woods said girlfriend Lindsey Vonn is trying to persuade him to tweet more. Progress remains slow. I grew up in a different era and its a little bit different for me, Woods added, who is 9 years older than the downhill ski champion. Im still a little bit old-school. Im kind of getting it but still not grasping the whole concept yet. But Ill get there eventually. DIVOTS: K.J. Choi donated his $100,000 from the World Cup to help with relief efforts in the Philippines. I wanted to represent Korea in sharing the sentiment of my fellow countrymen to our friends in the Philippines, Choi said. I send my deepest condolences to the people of the Philippines who have lost their families and homes. The donation from the KJ Choi Foundation was sent to the American Red Cross. Redstone Golf Club is now called Golf Club of Houston under a contractual requirement when it changed ownership. It still is host of the Shell Houston Open, the final PGA Tour event before the Masters. Cal coach Steve Desimone has been selected U.S. captain of the Palmer Cup next year. The Palmer Cup, which matches college players from the United States and Europe, will be June 26-28 at Walton Heath.

They came to this conclusion on technical grounds, so whether there was merit to the case is in dispute. I guess for me, the question is: if this had been vice versa, what would have been the response from the usual suspects? As far as I know, these men werent interviewed on the usual shows, the usual reporters, etc. In fact, they may have ended their careers; they made noise and perhaps wont have a snowballs chance in the other place to get another job in their chosen profession. My complaint is that men are supposed to suck it up, to take it like a man and move on. Wrong! Whats wrong is wrong,

no matter who. Men are people, too! This is something I fear we will by necessity, should? see more of as we go into our politically correct future. I dont like it but thats how it is. Just like this item that I came across a while back. It is in regard to a disputed mascot. It seems Coachella Valley (Southern California) High School is nicknamed the Arabs, featuring a snarling, black-bearded mascot wearing a head scarf. According to information I have perused, the mascot was chosen as a recognition of the areas datefarming reliance, which apparently is traditionally a Middle Eastern

crop. There is also a nearby community named Mecca which also pays homage to the Middle East. They have had this personage for almost a century but has NOW become a controversial figure as a stereotype and offensive in the views of an anti-discrimination group. Apparently, the nearby school district will keep the nickname Arab but adopt a new mascot, which is yet to be determined. There are those who, good for them, are not happy with this because the original intent was to honor their areas legacy, a good thing or so you might think. They also feature belly dancers at halftime, which also is in danger of going the way of the do-do. Is nothing sacred anymore?

Wonder if they will be forced to change the name of the nearby town from Mecca because that is discriminatory? Or is that OK? People have too much time on their hands. I am waiting for all these nattering nabobs of negativism to go after Notre Dame for its Fighting Irish after all, since I know of at least one writer in the Washington Redskins baloney who claimed that if ONE person is offended, it needs to go because I am Irish and I dont fight, so I am offended. Or the San Diego Padres or New Orleans Saints because, as a Catholic, I am offended at these demeaning and debasing stereotypes, so they must go! Forget the lack of a mascot; the NAME is offensive!

I dont want them called Golden Eagles (Marquette when they changed from the Warriors) because that is demeaning they are now animals, not human beings, and everybody should be offended by that, including their players! or Red Storm (as St. Johns University changing from the Redmen) because that is a destructive, violent storm on Jupiter and is that want we want to be? Violent? Murderous? One person is offended by anything and everything. What is the old maxim: 10 percent of the people (or so) in the world hate you simply because you exist! See how far this can go once you allow bullies to get their way? Is this where we REALLY want to go?

New study casts doubt on fish oil supplements

DEAR DOCTOR K: I have risk factors for heart disease. Ive been dutifully taking fish oil supplements for years to reduce my risk of a heart attack. Now I read that they dont help. Should I stop taking them? DEAR READER: Fish oil, loaded with omega-3 fatty acids, has garnered a reputation as an easy way to protect the heart. But a recent study published in the New England Journal of Medicine found that fish oil pills dont reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke in people at increased risk. The new study focused on about 12,500 people who never had a heart attack or stroke. But they had high blood pressure, a family history of heart disease or other factors that increased their risk. Study participants were randomly divided into two groups. One group took a daily capsule containing omega-3 fatty acids found in fish. The other group took dummy pills that contained olive oil. During the next five years, about 12 percent of people in each group died or suffered a heart attack, stroke or other heart-related problem. People who took fish oil did not fare any better than those who didnt. One study rarely settles a controversial question. There are hundreds of studies of fish oil supplements, and they dont all point in the same direction. This new study was a very strong one, but it can be criticized. For example, there is evidence that olive oil also is hearthealthy. If the truth is that both fish oil capsules and olive oil capsules can protect the heart, then perhaps the study would have been more convincing if fish oil were compared to a capsule with a substance not thought to be hearthealthy. Nevertheless, based on this study, I wouldnt rely on fish oil pills to lower your risk of heart attack and stroke.

However, taking fish oil capsules is not the same thing as eating fish. There is very strong evidence that people who regularly eat fish have lower rates of heart disease. Multiple well-done studies have shown that a diet including fish leads to lower rates of heart disease and stroke. So I advise my patients to keep eating fish, especially fatty fish that are rich in omega-3 fatty acids. Examples of fatty fish include salmon, sardines, mackerel, char and halibut. You might still decide to take an omega-3 supplement. At low to moderate doses (1,000 milligrams or less per day), this appears to

be quite safe. Since fish oil has a mild blood-thinning effect, check with your doctor if youre also taking a blood thinner as well as fish oil capsules. In the meantime, stick to proven ways to lower your chance of heart attack and stroke: -- Quit smoking. -- Exercise more. -- Eat smaller portions. -Decrease saturated fats and eliminate trans fats. -- Keep your blood pressure in the normal range, with medicines if needed. -- Lower your LDL cholesterol with medication if needed. -- Ask your doctor if you should take a baby aspirin.

LAPD to officers on duty: Buckle up, its the rule

LOS ANGELES (AP) If youve ever been pulled over by a police officer for not wearing a seat belt, theres a decent chance the officer also wasnt buckled up either. While 86 percent of Americans now wear seat belts, an upcoming study that will be published by Californias Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training estimates that roughly half of law enforcement officers dont wear them. With traffic-related fatalities the leading cause of death of officers on duty, departments nationwide are buckling down to get officers to buckle up. Something that can save a persons life should be on a high priority of being enforced, said Richard Ashton, a former police chief who has studied officer safety for more than a decade with the International Association of Chiefs of Police. The Los Angeles Police Department has a new seatbelt education effort after Inspector General Alex Bustamante found that up to 37 percent of officers involved in accidents in 2012 werent wearing seatbelts. State laws mandating seatbelt use often exclude police, but the LAPD and most other departments require them in all but certain circumstances. The costs of not doing so are clear. In 14 of the last 15 years, it wasnt a shooting, but a traffic incident that was the leading cause of officer deaths, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Of the 733 law enforcement officers killed in a vehicle accident from 1980 through 2008, 42 percent werent wearing seatbelts. This is such low-hanging fruit. This fruit is on the ground almost, said Steve Soboroff, president of the Police Commission at a recent meeting of the civilian oversight board. New recruits grew up wearing seatbelts, but often dont on the force because senior officers dont use them. Some cut old ones off cars and buckle them in to disable the alarm, belt them out of the way, or cut them out entirely. Part of the problem is blamed on what experts call the myth of a ninja assassin, an assailant whose ambush attack would leave officers vulnerable because their seat belts would interfere with their ability to get their gun. No one can tell you an actual story about it (and) I havent been able to document it at all, Ashton said. LAPD is using the 25th anniversary of a tragedy to highlight the problem. On Dec. 12, 1988, three officers died after being thrown from the two LAPD cruisers they were in that collided at a Skid Row intersection. One officer left behind a pregnant fiancee; another left a pregnant widow.

Key support for budget deal; deficits would rise

DAVID ESPO Associated Press WASHINGTON A newly minted budget deal to avert future government shutdowns gained important ground Wednesday among House Republicans who are more accustomed to brinkmanship than compromise, even though it would nudge federal deficits higher three years in a row. There was grumbling from opposite ends of the political spectrum conservatives complaining about spending levels and liberal Democrats unhappy there would be no extension of an expiring program of benefits for the long-term unemployed. Yet other lawmakers, buffeted by criticism after last Octobers partial government shutdown, found plenty to like in the agreement and suggested it could lead to future cooperation. The plan was announced Tuesday evening by Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., and Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., and quickly endorsed by President Barack Obama. A House vote was expected as early as today as lawmaker race to wrap up their work for the year. A lot of folks will probably vote for it even though they would rather not support this type of legislation, but we have to get the spending issue completed so that there is some consistency in the future, said Rep. Jeff Miller, R-Fla. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., called the agreement a breath of fresh air that could lead to further prog-

FDA takes steps to phase out antibiotics in meat

ress. Added House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, If youre for more deficit reduction, youre for this agreement. Boehner also took a swipe at outside groups that helped steer Republicans toward the politically damaging shutdown and opposed the current deal before it was sealed. Theyre using our members, and theyre using the American people for their own goals. This is ridiculous, he said, evidently referring to the Club For Growth, Heritage Action and other organizations. Modest in scope, the deal underscores how much ambitions have shriveled since the summer of 2011, when Obama and Boehner held private but unsuccessful talks on a grand bargain to reduce deficits by $4 trillion over a decade. In the current climate, though, it means a return to something approaching a routine, where spending committees will be able to write and pass individual bills each year, removed from the threat of a shutdown. As drafted, the bill would reverse $63 billion in across-the-board spending cuts scheduled to take effect in the current budget year and the next one, easing a crunch on programs as diverse as environmental protection and the Pentagon. It would offset the higher spending with $85 billion in savings over a decade from higher fees and relatively modest curtailments on government benefit programs. Nearly a third of the total savings would come almost a decade from now, in 2022 and 2023, partly from extending a current two percent cut in payments to Medicare providers.

Health care sign-ups pick up but may not close gap

RICARDO ALONSO-ZALDIVAR Associated Press WASHINGTON With time running short, the nations health care rolls still arent filling up fast enough. New sign-up numbers Wednesday showed progress for President Barack Obamas health care law, but not enough to guarantee that Americans who want and need coverage by Jan. 1 will be able to get it. Crunch time is now, as people face a Dec. 23 deadline to sign up if they are to have coverage by New Years. That means more trouble for the White House, too, after months of repairing a dysfunctional enrollment website. Next year could start with a new round of political recriminations over the Affordable Care Act, Obamacare to its opponents. The Health and Human Services Department reported that 364,682 people had signed up for private coverage under the law as of Nov. 30. That is more than three times the October figure but still less than one-third of the 1.2 million that officials had projected would enroll nationwide by the end of November. The administrations overall goal was to sign up 7 million people by next March 31, when open enrollment ends. Secretary Kathleen Sebelius assured Congress on Wednesday that we are seeing very, very positive trends now that HealthCare.gov is working reasonably well. She also announced that shed asked the departments inspector general for an independent investigation into contracting and management factors that contributed to the technology failure. Yet the revamped federal website serving 36 states continues to have issues, and some states running their own sites also face problems. Oregon had signed up only 44 people as of Nov. 30.

WASHINGTON (AP) Citing a potential threat to public health, the Food and Drug Administration is taking steps toward phasing out the use of some antibiotics in animals processed for meat. Many cattle, hog and poultry producers give their animals antibiotics regularly to ensure that they are healthy and to make the animals grow faster. Now, the agency has announced that it will ask pharmaceutical companies to voluntarily stop labeling drugs important for treating human infection as acceptable for that growth promotion in animals. If the drug companies sign on and two major companies have already signaled they will using those antibiotics to promote growth in animals would be illegal. Prescriptions would be required to use the drugs for animal illnesses. The FDA has been debating how to address the issue of antibiotics in meat for several years as antibiotic-resistant diseases have risen and consumers increasingly have clamored for antibiotic-free meat. McDonalds, among other companies, has moved to limit the drugs in their meat, pushing many animal producers to go along. The restaurant chain Chipotle also has tried to use meat raised without antibiotics, but has cited challenges in finding enough of it. FDA officials said the move is designed to limit antibiotic-resistant diseases in humans as antibiotic resistance has become a growing public health problem. Repeated exposure to antibiotics can lead germs to become resistant to the drug so that it is no longer effective in treating a particular illness. In September, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released sobering estimates that more than 23,000 people a year are dying from drug-resistant infections. The biggest risk is from germs spread in hospitals, and its not clear how much of the problem is related to the use of drugs in meat. Still, the FDA says this is one step toward decreasing resistance. We need to be selective about the drugs we use in animals and when we use them, said William Flynn of FDAs Center for Veterinary Medicine. Antimicrobial resistance may not be completely preventable, but we need to do what we can to slow it down. The new guidance will give the companies three years to comply.

Interpreter for deaf at Mandela event called fake

RAY FAURE Associated Press

JOHANNESBURG As one world leader after another paid homage to Nelson Mandela at a memorial service, the man standing at arms length from them appeared to interpret their words in sign language. But advocates for the deaf say he was a faker. The incident, which outraged deaf people and sign-language interpreters watching the service broadcast around the globe, raised questions of how the unidentified man managed to crash a supposedly secure event attended by scores of heads of state, including President Barack Obama. It also was another example of the problems plaguing Tuesdays memorial, including public transportation breakdowns that hindered mourners going to the soccer stadium and a faulty audio system that made the speeches inaudible for many. Police also failed to search the first wave of crowds who rushed into the stadium after the gates were opened just after dawn. The man, who stood about a yard (one meter) from Obama and other leaders, was moving his hands around, but there was no meaning in what he used his hands for, Bruno Druchen, national direc-

tor of the Deaf Federation of South Africa, told The Associated Press on Wednesday. When South African Deputy President Cyril Rampaphosa told the crowd that former South African President F.W. de Klerk was among the guests, the man at his side used a strange pushing motion unknown in sign language that did not identify de Klerk or say anything about his presence, said Ingrid Parkin, principal of the St. Vincent School for the Deaf in Johannesburg. The closest the mans gestures came to anything in sign language at that point might possibly be the words for running horse, friend or beyond, she said, but only by someone who signs terribly. The man also used virtually no facial expressions to convey the often-emotional speeches, an absolute must for sign-language interpreters, Parkin said. Collins Chabane, one of South Africas two presidency ministers, said the government is investigating alleged incorrect use of sign language at the National Memorial Service, but has not finished because it has been overwhelmed with organizing the public viewing of Mandelas body in Pretoria and his funeral Sunday in his hometown of Qunu. He did not identify the man, but said the government will report publicly on any information it may establish.

Elida

Thats created stress and uncertainty not only for the uninsured but also for other people who now have insurance but are seeking to avoid an interruption in coverage in January. Those who are trying to preserve their coverage include some of the more than 4 million people whose individual plans were canceled because they didnt measure up under the law as well as hundreds of thousands who are in federal and state programs for people with serious health problems, from cancer to heart disease to AIDS. Unless there is a proactive attempt to enroll these groups, you are likely to see a significant number of people whose coverage will lapse in January, said Dan Mendelson, CEO of Avalere Health, a market analysis firm following the rollout. That might not be a big deal, because they might not get sick, but some of them will.
