WASHINGTON Claiming new momentum 48 hours
before polls open across America, Republicans on Sunday
assailed President Barack Obama in a final weekend push to
motivate voters as Democrats deployed their biggest stars to
help preserve an endangered Senate majority.
GOP officials from Alaska to Georgia seized on the presi-
dents low approval ratings, which have overshadowed an
election season in which roughly 60 percent of eligible voters
are expected to stay home.
This is really the last chance for America to pass judgment
on the Obama administration and on its policies, the GOPs
2012 presidential nominee, Mitt Romney, said in a message
echoed by Republicans across the country on the weekend.
The president has avoided the nations most competi-
tive contests in recent weeks, but encouraged Democrats to
reject Republican cynicism during a Sunday appearance with
Connecticut Gov. Dannel Malloy.
Despite all the cynicism America is making progress,
Obama said, imploring Democrats to vote on Tuesday. Dont
stay home. Dont let somebody else choose your future for
you.
While the elections will determine winners in all 435 House
districts and in 36 governors seats, the national focus is on the
Senate, where Republicans need to net six seats to control the
majority in the Congress that convenes in January. The GOP
already controls the House, and a Senate takeover could dra-
matically change Obamas last two years in office.
Republicans appear certain of picking up at least three
Senate seats in West Virginia, Montana and South Dakota.
Nine other Senate contests are considered competitive, six of
them for seats in Democratic hands.

August was Suppers on Us. The
first meal was served the Thursday
after Canal Days.
That first meal we had vegetable
soup and we had 32 people come,
Taylor said. By November 2009, we
had more than 60. For a long time, our
target was to prepare for 125. This year
on Oct. 24, we served 180. I think our
target will be moved to 150.

New bishop leads St. Barbaras ground-breaking
BY ANNE COBURN-
GRIFFIS
DHI Media Editor
agriffis@putnamsentinel.com
CLOVERDALE Just
two weeks shy of the one-
year anniversary of the
storm which leveled their
sanctuary, the members
of St. Barbaras Catholic
Church in Cloverdale gath-
ered to witness the ground-
breaking of the new build-
ing.
During the evening of
Nov. 17, 2013, an F2 tor-
nado tore through the small
community west of the
juncture of St. Rts. 114 and
634. St. Barbaras Church,
located at the southwest
corner of Cloverdale on
Main Street, was in its path.
The sanctuary was reduced
to a corner of rubble and
the outer walls of the rec-
tory were sheered to reveal
offices and living quarters.
The parish center, a few
steps south of the sanctuary,
was also left standing.
On Sunday, the Most
Rev. Daniel E. Thomas,
Bishop of the Diocese
of Toledo, turned three
spadesful of earth as he
blessed the ground upon
which the new sanctu-
ary will stand. Thomas
was named Bishop of
Toledo by Pope Francis
on Aug. 26 and was for-
mally installed on Oct. 22.
He had also visited other
areas of Putnam County on
Sunday.
Father Jerry Schetter,
pastor of St. Barbaras, also
picked up a shovel to com-
memorate the occasion. He
remarked that All Hallows
Eve groundbreaking is a
happy part of rebuilding the
church for whom he min-
isters.
From when the tornado
took this church down til
today, its been an ongo-
ing process, he said. Its
another step forward. I
think everyones excited
about the aspects of it.
Schetter added that,
other than the removal of a
driveway, most of the work
on the church will begin in
2015. Father Jerry Schetter (foreground, second from right) and Bishop Daniel E. Thomas break ground on Sunday
with members of St. Barbaras Catholic Churchs building committee. The celebration took place before a
crowd that filled and extended outside a tent erected for the occasion. (DHI Media/Anne Coburn-Griffis) See GROUND, page 10

Kiwanis
serve up a
hearty meal
The Delphos Kiwanis Club
held its annual Pancake &
Sausage Dinner Saturday at
Jefferson Senior High School
where they served over 2,100
hungry patrons a hearty
meal. The take-out line was
very busy all morning with
workers flipping pancakes,
serving sausage and packag-
ing to-go orders as quickly as
they good. Club member Jim
Fortner said the turnout was
overwhelming this year and
the proceeds will be used for
kids projects. Club Treasurer
Cindy Metzger reported 7,000
pancakes were flipped, 55
dozen eggs broken and 50
gallons of orange juice, 80
gallons of milk and a half-ton
of sausage was served. The
club would like to extend a
thank you to the community,
Jefferson High School and
Kiwanis members for making
the event such a huge suc-
cess. (DHI Staff/Stephanie

Today is Monday, Nov. 3, the 307th day of
2014. There are 58 days left in the year.
Todays Highlight in History:
On Nov. 3, 1964, President Lyndon B. Johnson
soundly defeated Republican Barry Goldwater to
win a White House term in his own right.
On this date:
In 1839, the first Opium War between
China and Britain broke out.
In 1852, Emperor Meiji of Japan was born
in Kyoto.
In 1903, Panama proclaimed its indepen-
dence from Colombia.
In 1911, the Chevrolet Motor Car Co.
was founded in Detroit by Louis Chevrolet
and William C. Durant. (The company was
acquired by General Motors in 1918.)
In 1936, President Franklin D. Roosevelt
won a landslide election victory over Republican
challenger Alfred M. Alf Landon.
In 1954, the Japanese monster movie
Godzilla was released by Toho Co.
In 1957, the Soviet Union launched
Sputnik 2, the second manmade satellite, into
orbit; on board was a dog named Laika who
was sacrificed in the experiment.
In 1960, the Meredith Willson musical
The Unsinkable Molly Brown opened on
Broadway with Tammy Grimes in the title role.
In 1970, Salvador Allende was inaugurated
as president of Chile.
In 1979, five Communist Workers Party
members were killed in a clash with heavily
armed Ku Klux Klansmen and neo-Nazis dur-
ing an anti-Klan protest in Greensboro, North
Carolina.
In 1986, the Iran-Contra affair began to
come to light as Ash-Shiraa, a pro-Syrian
Lebanese magazine, first broke the story of
U.S. arms sales to Iran.
In 1994, Susan Smith of Union, South Carolina,
was arrested for drowning her two young sons,
Michael and Alex, nine days after claiming the
children had been abducted by a black carjacker.
Ten years ago: President George W. Bush
claimed a re-election mandate a day after more
than 62 million Americans chose him over
Democrat John Kerry; Kerry conceded defeat in
make-or-break Ohio rather than launch a legal
fight reminiscent of the contentious Florida
recount of four years earlier. Hamid Karzai was
declared the winner of Afghanistans first-ever
presidential election after a three-week probe
into vote fraud found no grounds to invalidate
his triumph. Sgt. Charles Jenkins, whod spent
nearly 40 years in North Korea, pleaded guilty
to deserting the U.S. Army in 1965 (he served
25 days in jail and was discharged).
One Year Ago

The exotic cities of the east, added to the fabled cities of
Europe, plus South America and the cities of Canada and the

LOCAL GRAINS
Patrol reminds
motorists that safety
belts save lives
INFORMATION
SUBMITTED
VAN WERT - There is no dis-
puting that wearing a safety belt
can save your life. That is why
the Ohio State Highway Patrol
is encouraging all motorists to
buckle-up this upcoming holiday
season and continue to do so
throughout the new year. From
2011-13, 1,160 people were
killed in crashes who were not
wearing an available safety belt.
Its simple safety belts save
lives and reduce injury in crash-
es, said Lt. Brode, commander
of the Van Wert Post. It is the
easiest thing you can do to protect
yourself, your family and your
friends.
The National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration
estimates 379 lives were saved
in Ohio and 12,174 were
saved nationwide in 2012 as
a direct result of motorists
buckling up. Using a safety
belt remains the single most
effective thing you can do to
protect yourself in a crash.
According to Ohios 2012
Observational Seatbelt Survey,
nearly 85 percent of motorists
were found to be in compliance
with Ohios safety belt law.
This is the highest usage rate
seen since observational stud-
ies began in 1991. While these
rates appear high, far too many
Ohioans still do not buckle up.
Ohios safety belt law
remains a secondary violation;
however, troopers continue zero
-tolerance enforcement when
motorists are stopped for other
violations and are found to not
be wearing their belt. Last year
troopers wrote 97,463 citations
for failure to wear a safety belt.
Troopers ask that you wear
your safety belt every time and
insist that those who travel with
you buckle up as well. For a
complete statistical analysis
of safety belt violations, visit:

Dear Abby
Grandfathers to-do list
creates special family day
DEAR ABBY: I am a
62-year-old grandfather of
a 5-year-old granddaughter.
The other day I had her for the
entire day. I decided to make
a list of the things we were
to accomplish throughout the
course of the day. It turned out
to be a great success. After
completing each task, she
would ask, Whats next on
the list?
The first item, No. 1, was
to do our strong (thats
what we call exercise). No. 2
was to write her alphabet and
numbers. No. 3 was to go
on an adventure (thats what
we call walking the dog and
exploring the nearby field).
Nos. 4, 5 and 6 -- go to the
bank, get the car washed, then
go to the park to swing, slide,
etc. After the park, she asked
if we could go to our favorite
restaurant across the street. I
replied, How did you know
that was next on the list? Her
expression was priceless.
After lunch we went home
and did No. 8 -- another
adventure, which was take
the dogs for a walk again.
No. 9 was painting time
(what 5-year-old doesnt like
to paint?). After cleaning up
it was time for No. 10, wash
the dishes and Swiffer the
floor. No. 11 she could choose
something to do. We spent the
next two hours playing with
her dolls.
At about 5:30 my daughter
came to pick her up from an
exhausted grandpa. Lists will
be part of our routine from
now on. I slept like a log that
night and hope to have many
nights and days just like it
in the future. -- GRANDPA
ROBERT IN LEXINGTON,
KY.
DEAR GRANDPA
ROBERT: Your grandchild
is lucky not only to have
such a loving and dedicated
grandpa, but also one with
your stamina. I sometimes
hear from grandparents -- and
other adults -- who ask me
for suggestions about how
to better connect with their
young children. Your letter is
a road map that will take them
in the right direction.
DEAR ABBY: During
one of their stay up all night
drinking beer and talking
sessions six months ago, my
husband, Ralph, and his
best friend of more than 20
years, Jim, had a huge fight.
They havent spoken since.
Ralph has tried at least three
times to contact Jim by phone
and email with no response. If
Ralphs version of the story is
true, they both behaved badly.
Ralph has sincerely tried to
apologize, but Jim refuses to
speak to him.
It breaks my heart to see
how much this has upset my
husband. I am still Facebook
friends with Jim, and every
time I see him online Im
tempted to say something to
him, but so far I have resisted.
Would it be crossing the line
for me to reach out and see
if hell talk to me about this?
Or should I stay out of it? --
HOPEFUL PEACEMAKER
IN ARIZONA
DEAR HOPEFUL
PEACEMAKER: I know
you mean well, but it would
be a mistake to put yourself
in the middle. Whatever
happened between your
husband and his friend must
have been a doozy.
You state that this happened
during one of their all-night
drinking and talking sessions.
To me this indicates that one
or both of them may have
alcohol issues that need to
be addressed. This is what
should be mentioned, but only
to your spouse. If the loss of
his long-standing friendship
has been painful enough, he
may be willing to listen.
Dear Abby is written by
Abigail Van Buren, also
known as Jeanne Phillips, and
was founded by her mother,
Pauline Phillips. Contact

Avoid future bouts of
sciatica with regular exercise
DEAR DOCTOR K: I have sciatica.
Is it safe for me to ride a stationary bike for
exercise?
DEAR READER: Sciatica is persistent
pain felt along the sciatic nerve. This nerve
runs from the lower back, down through the
buttock and into the lower leg. Pain results
when this nerve is compressed or injured. It
most commonly results from inflammation,
bone chips caused by arthritis, or a herniated
(slipped) disk in the lower spine. (Ive put
an illustration showing some common causes
of sciatica on my website, AskDoctorK.com.)
Sciatica causes sharp, burning pain, or
tingling or numbness along the nerve. In many
cases, symptoms are worse at night. And the
pain is aggravated by motion.
Many people with sciatica avoid exercise
altogether for fear of making things worse.
Thats usually not the best option. I commend
your approach of exercising while being
thoughtful about which exercise you choose.
As for which exercise, my advice is no
different probably than what your grandmother
might have given: Avoid exercises that hurt,
and seek exercises that make you feel better.
You ask specifically about riding a stationary
bike. Sciatica pain is often worse when sitting
on a firm surface because the sciatic nerve
passes right through the buttock. When you
sit on a bicycle seat, it can put pressure on
the nerve. But sitting does not always make
symptoms worse. For example, if your sciatic
nerve pain results from a problem higher up
near the spine, you may tolerate riding a bike.
So let your symptoms be your guide. If
biking makes your symptoms worse, then try
something else for exercise. Good choices may
be walking or swimming, as they dont put
pressure on the nerve -- particularly swimming.
In the meantime, try alternating hot and
cold compresses to ease inflammation
around the nerve. You also may need to take
acetaminophen (Tylenol) for pain. Or try anti-
inflammatory drugs such as naproxen (Aleve,
Anaprox), ibuprofen (Motrin, Advil, others) or
aspirin for pain and inflammation. Prescription
medications that treat chronic nerve pain may
also help. Talk to your doctor about those.
In severe cases, an injection of a long-acting
anesthetic with a steroid medication can
provide relief.
Some people with sciatica find relief from
chiropractic manipulation, acupuncture,
massage and yoga. The value of these
alternative or complementary therapies
has been shown in several studies.
Sciatica usually improves within six weeks.
Once the pain passes, specific exercises and
stretches may prevent it from returning. Your
doctor may refer you to a physical therapist
who can guide you through a personalized
exercise program. Exercises that strengthen
the muscles of the back and abdomen are often
prescribed. This stabilizes the spine bones and
eases the pressure on the sciatic nerve.
Most people get relief with todays
treatments for sciatica. Still, one of the most
potent ways of reducing future bouts of sciatica
is exercise. Dont stop your exercise program
once your pain has subsided: Keep it up!

Got a news tip? Want to promote an event or business?
Monday, November 3, 2014
The sky is the limit for you
this year. If you follow your
intuition, you will make your
way down a promising path.
There will be many surprises
and changes, but you will
remain in control. You will
have the most success if you
are open to doing things
differently.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
22) -- Resist the urge to fare
up in the heat of the moment.
Jealousy will cause you to
judge a situation in the wrong
light. Dont look for problems
where none exist.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov.
23-Dec. 21) -- A demanding
family member may not
be aware of your situation.
Express your feelings and
take a moment to re-evaluate
your position. Resentment will
ensue if you arent open and
forthcoming.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-
Jan. 19) -- You have several
choices to make, but before
you take a leap of faith,
ensure that you have all the
information needed to make
the right decision. Turning
back wont be an option.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-
Feb. 19) -- Dont let lethargy
drag you down. Spark your
enthusiasm by taking a trip
or educational course, or
beginning a creative project.
The longer you sit, the harder
it will be to get motivated.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March
20) -- Look for people who
share your interests. There is
no shortage of groups you can
investigate. Find something
that appeals to you and make
a point to get involved.
ARIES (March 21-April
19) -- Problems will surface
if fnancial matters are not
handled properly. Gather
the relevant parties in your
household and allocate who is
responsible for what.
TAURUS (April 20-May
20) -- Give your morale a
boost. A trip to a fea market
or local shopping area will
help to break up the routine
and reduce your stress level.
GEMINI (May 21-June
20) -- If you spend extra time
at work, make sure you clear
it with someone who counts
on your assistance. You will
face unwanted demands if you
dont use your time wisely.
CANCER (June 21-July
22) -- Keep your priorities
in order. You have a creative
project to work on, but make
sure you take care of your
primary responsibilities frst
to avoid interference once you
start it.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
-- You should make time for
family today. If you have been
too caught up with your own
needs, someone you love will
feel left out. A day trip will
help bring you closer together.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.
22) -- Rely on the help of
friends and relatives to help
you complete everything on
your to-do list. The feeling of
accomplishment will make
you realize the importance of
your relationships with others.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23)
-- You will discover some
unsettling news. Dont judge
or criticize before checking out
the source of the information
to determine if whats being
said is fact or fction.

Taylor said for those who would like
to help, donations are always accepted to
purchase food and groups are needed to
provide man-power to serve and clean
up. Donations can be made to the Zion
Outreach Fund. To donate time, food or
money, contact Taylor at 419-419-339-
1951 or the Rev. David Howell at 419-
236-1371.
St. Peters hopes offering its Summer
Kids Breakfast when school is not in ses-
sion. Children can enjoy a free hot or cold
breakfast, including pancakes, French
toast or scrambled eggs, cereal, fruit roll-
ups, juice or milk and on Fridays, sweet
rolls, and the camaraderie of friends.
Its food for the belly and food for the
soul, Fritz said.
Added this last year was a sack lunch
for those who chose to take one.
Laborers R Us was outlined by co-
founder Ellen Ditto. In 2009, she and her
husband Buzz sold their house and most
of their belongings and began life and
missionaries traveling the eastern portion
of the country rebuilding after natural
disasters and assisting Appalachian com-
munities with home repairs, financial
education, emotional support and more.
God told us, Sell what you have,
leave what you know. I have work for
you, Ellen said.
On a visit home several years into
their missionary work, the Dittos learned
there was work to be done at home as
well.
Three years ago, it was brought to
attention that there was a project that
needed done for one of our church mem-
bers, Ditto said. We had one volunteer,
Buzz, and one project. The second year
we had 17 volunteers and seven projects.
This past event included more than 100
volunteers giving more than 800 labor
hours on 18 projects.
Ditto said the fulfillment of helping
others is immeasurable.
You feel the spirit reaching out and
touching people and touching you, she
said.
The work is handyman projects and
includes weeding, trimming bushes, yard
work, painting, washing windows and
two wheelchair ramps were built.
We help people who dont have the
ability, physical stamina or the funds to
do the work needed. We help the least,
lost and the last, Ditto concluded.
Interfaith Thrift Shop Social Services
Director Becky Strayer spoke on the
shops past year.
So far, we have given more than
$90,000 to help people with rent, utilities,
prescriptions and some miscellaneous
items like eyeglasses and home repairs,
Strayer began. Our food pantry received
$1,500 in donations and we gave out
$1,700, so the need is still there.
The Thrift Shop and its programs
exist solely on donations and the sale of
donated items.
Strayer said Delphos is lucky to have
so many avenues to help people.
We have the food distribution, the
suppers, St. Vincent de Paul, the Thrift
Shop and we also get 10 percent of what
is collection by the Salvation Army of
Lima, she said.
Kelly Baeza introduced a program in
the works that will be hosted at Delphos
Wesleyan Church the first of the year.
Celebrating Recovery is a faith-based
program that offers healing for hurts,
hangups and habits.
We are working to put this together
to offer those suffering a place to come
and use their faith to heal, Baeza said.
I cant tell you how it works, just that it
works. Something happens when Gods
people come together.
Baeza said she had searched for a
group that was more centered on Scripture
and not just 12 steps and coffee.
All those groups you attend they tell
you to call to your higher power but they
dont want to talk about who that power is,
she said. Celebrate Recovery is different.

Democratic Party leaders are predicting victory despite
disappointing polls.
Im very proud of this president, head of the Democratic
National Committee, Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Fla.,
said. I think were going to win the Senate.
In New Hampshire, former secretary of state Hillary
Rodham Clinton headlined a rally for Gov. Maggie Hassan
and Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, a Democrat locked in a tough
re-election battle against former Massachusetts Sen. Scott
Brown.
Clinton, who is weighing a 2016 presidential bid, charged
that Republicans are running a campaign of fear.
Fear is the last resort for those who have run out of ideas
and hope, she said in her first appearance in New Hampshire
since October 2008.
And in Georgia, where Democrats see an opportunity to
gain a seat in traditionally GOP territory, Republican David
Perdue repeatedly called Democrat Michelle Nunn a rubber
stamp for Obama during a Sunday debate.
Nunn mockingly told Perdue he sounds like hes running
against the president.
Youre running against me, David, Nunn said.
In Colorado, Democratic Sen. Mark Udalls best hope
remains a robust ground game. He made four stops at cam-
paign offices to fire up door-knockers, reminding them,
in classic Colorado fashion, to knock on doors before the
Broncos game.
Were going to bring this one home in the next 72 hours,
Udall said in the suburb of Centennial, telling volunteers to
disregard polls that find him narrowly trailing Republican
Rep. Cory Gardner.
While the campaigns costly voter turnout operations
were in full swing, large percentages of younger voters and
minorities groups that typically support Democrats are
expected to sit out the elections altogether.
None of the last four midterm elections drew more than 38
percent of the voting-age population.
Early voting has been strong, however.
At least 16.7 million people have voted so far across
31 states, according to early voting data monitored by
The Associated Press. Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Iowa,
Louisiana, Maryland, Montana, North Carolina, Wisconsin
and Utah already surpassed their 2010 advance totals; party
registration is divided about equally among those who have
already cast ballots.
Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell cited encour-
aging polls as he campaigned across Kentucky, where hes try-
ing to hold off a challenge from Democrat Alison Lundergan
Grimes.
We expect to win, McConnell said after riding in a
Veterans Day Parade. This election is largely a referendum
on the president of the United States. Most people in my state
and I hope around the country believe we need to go in a dif-
ferent direction.
The final Sunday before the election was bringing out big
names, including some who arent on the ballot now but could
be in 2016.
While Clinton and Obama were on the trail, Vice President
Joe Biden campaigned with Florida Republican-turned-
Democrat Charlie Crist, whos trying to unseat Republican
Gov. Rick Scott.
Stand up and show it! Speak up! Vote! Biden said at a
Florida International University event aimed at Hispanic vot-
ers.
On the Republican side, former Gov. Jeb Bush, another
2016 primary prospect, campaigned with Scott.
Romney, who reiterated on Sunday that he would
not make a third White House run, was campaigning in
Alaska with Senate candidate Dan Sullivan and Gov. Sean
Parnell.
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who is expected to enter
the 2016 Republican presidential primary, made stops in South
Carolina, Illinois, Maryland and Pennsylvania. And Kentucky
Sen. Rand Paul was campaigning in Kentucky.

Rita Wannemacher of Cloverdale, who at 96 is the old-
est living member of congregation, said this will be the
third St. Barbaras Church she will worship in during her
lifetime. She enjoyed a chat with Bishop Thomas follow-
ing the groundbreaking, then compared the design for the
new church to those of the past.
The first church had base burners and pipes going
through the church, she laughed. Its a little different
from now.
The tornado that all but leveled the worship center of
St. Barbaras left a boulder-mounted statue of the Virgin
Mary untouched. Parishioners trust that, at this time next
year, they will pass that symbol of their faith as they enter
for Mass.

Gates Foundation boosts
aid to stamp out malaria
NEW ORLEANS (AP)
Philanthropist Bill Gates says he wants
to end malaria in his lifetime and will
give more money toward that goal, part of
his broader fight against tropical diseases
that are getting unusual public attention
because of the Ebola epidemic.
In an interview with The Associated
Press and in a speech Sunday at a glob-
al health conference in New Orleans,
the Microsoft co-founder said his Bill &
Melinda Gates Foundation would increase
its malaria program budget by 30 percent,
to more than $200 million per year. Thats
on top of the foundations other dona-
tions to the Global Fund to Fight AIDS,
Tuberculosis and Malaria.
Small steps wont get the job done,
and scientists dont have all the tools they
need to eradicate malaria, Gates said.
His plan includes developing a drug
or vaccine to purge the malaria parasite
in people who carry it without showing
symptoms a human reservoir that
helps spread the disease.
I really do believe that malaria can
be eradicated in my lifetime, said Gates,
who just turned 59.
Gates spoke at the annual meeting
of the American Society of Tropical
Medicine and Hygiene, a conference that
usually gets little public notice, about
diseases often referred to as neglected.
That is not the case this year. On
Wednesday, Louisiana officials created a
stir by asking the 3,500 people registered
for the conference to stay away if they
have been to certain West African coun-
tries or have had contact with an Ebola
patient in the last 21 days, the maximum
incubation period for Ebola.
Conference organizers called the stance
an overreaction to Ebola fears, and said it
would prevent some scientists from pre-
senting studies on the outbreak, which has
killed about 5,000 Africans this year.
In all, Gates said his foundation will
commit more than $500 million this year
to fight malaria, pneumonia, and diarrheal
and parasitic diseases in poor countries.
Here are some he discussed.
EBOLA
The conference comes at a pivotal
moment in the history of global health
because of the worlds largest outbreak of
Ebola, Gates said. He and his wife have
pledged $50 million to help contain it and
for research on treatments, rapid tests and
vaccines. Another Microsoft co-founder,
Paul Allen, has pledged $100 million, and
Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and
his wife Priscilla Chan, $25 million.
Terminally ill death with
dignity advocate dies
TERRENCE PETTY
Associated Press
PORTLAND, Ore. A
young woman who moved
to Oregon to take advantage
of the states assisted-sui-
cide law took lethal drugs
prescribed by a doctor and
has died, a spokesman said
Sunday.
Brittany Maynard, 29, was
diagnosed with brain cancer
on New Years Day and was
later given six months to live.
She and her husband, Dan
Diaz, moved from California
because that state does not
allow terminally ill patients
to end their lives with lethal
drugs prescribed by a doctor.
Maynard became a nation-
ally recognized advocate
for the group Compassion
& Choices, which seeks to
expand aid-in-dying laws
beyond a handful of states.
Sean Crowley, a spokes-
man for Compassion &
Choices, said in a statement
late Sunday that Maynard
died Saturday as she intend-
ed peacefully in her bed-
room, in the arms of her
loved ones.
Crowley said Maynard
suffered increasingly fre-
quent and longer seizures,
severe head and neck pain,
and stroke-like symptoms. As
symptoms grew more severe
she chose to abbreviate the
dying process by taking the
aid-in-dying medication she
had received months ago.
Maynards story, accom-
panied by photos from her
pre-illness wedding day, got
attention across the globe
while igniting a debate about
doctor-assisted suicide.
She told reporters she
planned to take her life Nov.
1, less than three weeks
before her 30th birthday,
but later said she was feel-
ing well enough to possi-
bly postpone. She said she
wasnt suicidal but wanted
to die on her own terms,
and she reserved the right to
move the death date forward
or push it back.
She said her husband and
other relatives accepted her
choice.
I think in the beginning
my family members want-
ed a miracle; they wanted a
cure for my cancer. she told
The Associated Press in early
October. I wanted a cure for
my cancer. I still want a cure
for my cancer. One does not
exist, at least that Im aware
of.
When we all sat down
and looked at the facts, there
isnt a single person that loves
me that wishes me more pain
and more suffering.
Oregon was the first U.S.
state to make it legal for a
doctor to prescribe a life-
ending drug to a terminally
ill patient of sound mind
who makes the request. The
patient must swallow the
drug without help; it is illegal
for a doctor to administer it.
More than 750 people in
Oregon used the law to die as
of Dec. 31, 2013. The median
age of the deceased is 71.
Only six were younger than
35, like Maynard.
Wallenda completes Chicago
skyscraper wire walks
CHICAGO (AP)
Daredevil Nik Wallenda
wowed Chicago and the
world Sunday with two hair-
raising skyscraper crossings
on high wires without a safety
net or a harness.
Thousands of cheering
fans packed the streets around
the citys Marina City tow-
ers to watch the 35-year-old
heir to the Flying Wallendas
family business complete the
back-to-back walks, includ-
ing one wearing a blindfold.
As he stepped from the
wire after completing the sec-
ond leg, he tore off his blind-
fold and waved to the crowd
below that erupted in cheers.
The spectacle was telecast
almost-live on the Discovery
Channel so producers could
cut away if Wallenda fell.
Wearing a bright red
jacket, Wallenda tested the
tension of the first wire. It
took him about six and a half
minutes to walk the 454 foot
stretch from the Marina City
west tower to the top of a
building on the other side of
the river. The tightrope began
at 588 feet from the ground
and ended at 671 feet a
19-degree incline.
I love Chicago and
Chicago definitely loves me,
said Wallenda as he walked
the wire, with the crowd of
thousands screaming in sup-
port. What an amazing roar!
The next stage of
Wallendas high-wire event
he undertook blindfolded a
94-foot walk, 543 feet from
the ground, between the two
Marina City towers, Chicago
landmarks with Hollywood
credits. At a fast clip, he made
the stretch in little more than
a minute.
The Discovery Channel
used a 10-second delay for
the broadcast, which would
have allowed producers to cut
away if anything went wrong.
At around 6:40 p.m., just
minutes before the antici-
pated start of his high-wire
feat, Wallenda, who lives in
Florida, said the chilly condi-
tions in Chicago would not
stall him.
Yes theres some wind,
yes its cool, but its not
unbearable, he said.
Months of preparations
have meant helicopters lift-
ing cable to the rooftops,
road closures and clearances
from the Federal Aviation
Administration and U.S.
Coast Guard. Residents of
Marina City have been asked
not to use laser pointers,
camera flashes or drones that
could interfere. Even grilling
has been prohibited.
Chicago city officials
ignored a state law requir-
ing safety nets for aerial acts
higher than 20 feet, saying
the law wasnt intended for
elite performers like him.
Two of his previous tele-
vised tightrope walks over
the brink of Niagara Falls in
2012 and across the Little
Colorado River Gorge in
2013 drew about 13 mil-
lion viewers each.

Ferguson no-fly zone aimed at media
JOAN LOWY
Associated Press
WASHINGTON The U.S. govern-
ment agreed to a police request to restrict
more than 37 square miles of airspace
surrounding Ferguson, Missouri, for 12
days in August for safety, but audio
recordings show that local authorities
privately acknowledged the purpose was
to keep away news helicopters during
violent street protests.
On Aug. 12, the morning after
the Federal Aviation Administration
imposed the first flight restriction, FAA
air traffic managers struggled to rede-
fine the flight ban to let commercial
flights operate at nearby Lambert-St.
Louis International Airport and police
helicopters fly through the area but
ban others.
They finally admitted it really was
to keep the media out, said one FAA
manager about the St. Louis County
Police in a series of recorded tele-
phone conversations obtained by The
Associated Press. But they were a little
concerned of, obviously, anything else
that could be going on.
At another point, a manager at the
FAAs Kansas City center said police
did not care if you ran commercial traf-
fic through this TFR (temporary flight
restriction) all day long. They didnt
want media in there.
FAA procedures for defining a no-fly
area did not have an option that would
accommodate that.
There is really no option for a
TFR that says, you know, OK, every-
body but the media is OK, he said. The
managers then worked out wording they
felt would keep news helicopters out of
the controlled zone but not impede other
air traffic.
The conversations contradict
claims by the St. Louis County Police
Department, which responded to dem-
onstrations following the shooting death
of 18-year-old Michael Brown, that the
restriction was solely for safety and had
nothing to do with preventing media
from witnessing the violence or the
police response.
