DHI Media Staff Reports
news@delphosherald.com
FINDLAY Chief Super Market has

changed hands. Fresh Encounter, Inc.
announced Wednesday it had entered into
a definitive agreement to acquire the retail
grocery chain headquartered in Defiance with
stores located in West Central and Northwest
Ohio. The acquisition incorporates all Chief
Super Market, Inc. retail locations, Boots
BBQ, Chief Kitchen and Chief Smokehouse
operations into the Fresh Encounter retail
business.
Chief Super Market, Inc. was founded in
1951 by Ted Hench, Karl Hench and John
Nolan. The company has remained family

owned for over 60 years.
Fresh Encounter is an obvious succession plan for our organization. We have been
colleagues for many years and respect their
approach to the challenging, yet rewarding,
grocery business. We look forward to watching the combined organizations continue to
grow and prosper, President and CEO of

Chief Super Market, Inc. Stephanie Skylar
said.
Michael Needler Sr. and the late Susan
Needler founded Fresh Encounter in 1995,
after the acquisition of CWC Companies
from Carroll Cheek. CWC Companies was
founded in 1964. The chain of grocery stores
celebrated 50 years of continuous service to
Ohio and Indiana residents in 2014, operating
under the banners of Great Scot, Community
Markets and Sack n Save.
This acquisition will be transformative
for Fresh Encounter, Inc. The Chief locations will increase our retail footprint in
Ohio as well as onboard premier grocery

OTTOVILLE Students schooled

Ottoville School Board members Wednesday
on software they use in class and can access
from home to do homework, complete projects and study for and take tests.
Third-grader Jace Langhals from Diane
Wurths class and fifth-grader Will Horstman
from Krista Schomaekers class showed off
Schoology, which includes different subjects
put in by teachers, tests and worksheets, notes
for class and study materials; Newsela, a nonfiction literacy and current events program
which can be adjusted for grade levels; and
Xtramath, where students can work at their
own pace to go through addition, subtraction,
multiplication and division flash cards and
more.
Wurth said the technology assists her by
allowing students to work at their pace so
more advanced students are challenged and a
student who moves at a slower pace can still
feel they are accomplishing something.
I can see where students are and push
those who are doing well and assist those who
are having problems, she said. The programs keep track of a childs level and allows
them to build on their strengths.
Schomaeker said her students have excelled
and when they forget something at school,
they can access the programs from home and
still complete assignments on time.
Parents can also access the programs and
track their students progress and find where
they may need help.

retail locations into our operation, said

Michael Needler Jr. CEO and President of
Fresh Encounter, Inc. Fresh Encounter operates 25 stores in Ohio and Indiana. Chief
Supermarkets operate 11 stores in Ohio. It is
difficult to create a merger of this size in such
close proximity and not overlap retail locations, but this is one of those rare instances
when we can consolidate resources without
sacrificing any retail operations.
The retail stores will continue to operate
under their existing brands. The combined
companies will now operate 36 stores in Ohio
and Indiana and employ approximately 2,200
people.

Obama to announce
immigration action today
WASHINGTON (AP) In a broad test of his executive

powers, President Barack Obama declared Wednesday he will
sidestep Congress and order his own federal action on immigration in measures that could spare from deportation as
many as 5 million people illegally in the U.S. and set up one
of the most pitched partisan confrontations of his presidency.
Obama declared that Washington has allowed Americas
immigration problem to fester for too long.
The president will use an 8 p.m. EST address today to
announce his measures and will sign the executive actions
during a rally in Las Vegas on Friday. In doing so, Obama will
be taking an aggressive stand that he had once insisted was
beyond his presidential power.
As many as 5 million people in the country illegally are
likely to be protected from deportation and made eligible for
work permits under the plan. They would not have a path to
citizenship, however, and the actions could be reversed by a
new president in two years. Officials said the eligible immigrants would not be entitled to federal benefits including
health care tax credits under Obamas plan.
The 5 million estimate includes extending deportation protections to parents and spouses of U.S. citizens and permanent
residents who have been in the country for five years. The
president also is likely to expand his 2-year-old program that
protects young immigrants from deportation. The administration had considered extending the executive action to parents

What Im going to be laying out is the things that I can do

them to get a bipartisan, comprehensive bill that can solve the
entire problem, Obama said in a video on Facebook.
Laying the groundwork for his actions, Obama invited

Melvin Kloeppel was also in the
Battle of the Bulge and he was really in
the thick of it.
From the time they landed on Omaha
Beach on D-Day, 6 June 1944, they were
in combat all the way to Lenz, Austria.
They arrived in Lenz two days before
the war in Europe ended in May, 1945.
Many soldiers and sailors lost their lives
during the Normandy Invasion. Several
other countries took part in the invasion. Allied casualties on D-Day were at
least 12,000 with 4,414 confirmed dead.
This was an all-out effort to stop Hitler,
who started WW II with the deliberate purpose of subjugating Europe and
establishing eventual world rule with his
master race.
From Normandy, he was in combat in Pattons Third Army through
France, Belgium, Luxemburg, Germany
and Austria, including the Battle of the
Bulge. Kloeppels means of transportation was mostly in the half track tank
but often times they had to sleep in the
snow and it was very, very cold. It was
December. Christmas was spent during
this Battle of the Bulge and there was no
turkey dinner. This fierce battle did send
the Germans on the run.
After the Battle of the Bulge, they
crossed the Rhine on a pontoon bridge
made by the Army Corp of Engineers.
They crossed many rivers on pontoon bridges. One especially dangerous and difficult trek was the Siegfried
Line, where they had to travel 176
miles through the Dragons Teeth. The
Dragons Teeth were pillboxes and
mines set up close together on the road,
making it very difficult to drive through.
The Germans didnt think the Americans
could get through but they did. This was
in February 1945.
Patton really pushed his men. On
one given day in March they advanced
40 miles in 51 hours. The fighting continued. They finally arrived in Lenz,
Austria two days before the war ended
in Europe in May, 1945.
Lenz was the site of one of Hitlers
Nazi concentration camps. Kloeppel
witnessed first-hand the atrocities committed by the Nazi regime, including the
dead bodies in the gas chambers. Melvin
had pictures too gruesome to print with
this article. U.S. Soldiers made the SS
men, whom they had taken prisoners,
bury the bodies of the dead, victims of
the gas chamber.
Kloeppel suffered an injury, on Easter
Sunday, while in Germany. It took 69
years for him to be awarded the Purple
Heart. The Purple Heart arrived in the
mail this past summer, after his daughter
wrote to the headquarters, describing
the incident. It was in the records but
dangerous circumstances prevented him
from receiving it at that time.
During his tour of duty, Kloeppel
received the Bronze Star, the Combat
Infantry badge, ETO Ribbon, W/5 Battle
Stars and several other medals.
Let us never forget what these men
and women went through. All Gave
Some and Some Gave All.
Ralph Hoehn was a bomber pilot
during World War II. He piloted a B-24
Liberator for 35 missions over Europe.
Ralph enlisted in the Army Air Force
in October, 1941. He went to basic
training the following February. He
entered flying training in San Antonio
and earned his wings in late 1943.
In May, 1944 he boarded a train for
New England. This troop train took us
right through Delphos. He was among
10,000 airmen who set sail from Boston
Melvin Kloeppel
to Birmingham, England, on D-Day, 6
June 1944. Ralph recalled that the ship,
the New Amsterdam, was very fast, was
not escorted and had to zigzag across
the Atlantic to avoid U-Boats (German
submarines). He said that despite the
rough seas, he never got seasick and was
one of only two people who showed up
for one of the meals during their fiveday voyage.
Upon their arrival he was assigned to
a bomber group stationed at Metfield,
England. Hoehn said that his first mission was as a co-pilot to bomb Munich.
He was the pilot on all the subsequent
missions and he bombed just about
everywhere but Berlin. Ralph recalled
that We were shot at on almost every
mission. Sometimes the skies would
be dark with smoke from FLAK (antiaircraft fire) ahead of us and behind us.
The FLAK would shake the plane.
Ralph said that he didnt encounter
German fighters very often and that he
did have P-51 Mustang escorts. He said
he did see one German jet. He said:
Of course wed never seen jets before,
but they were fast. Its a good thing the
Germans werent able to produce very
many. Hoehn added that a mission he
was not on resulted in 17 of 27 B-24s
shot down.
Of his 35 missions, the most memorable took place just after the Allied forces stormed the beaches of Normandy.
Allied air crews launched as assault
from above. The sky was overcast on
this July morning in 1944, so orders
to drop were reeled in. Some planes
didnt follow the plan because they were
supposed to go in at 9,000 feet but our
boys were in trouble and decided to
bomb. This was a disaster. Some of the
planes accidently dropped the bombs
on our own troops. We were dropping
lower and lower because we couldnt
see. We finally pulled up and didnt
drop our bombs. The Germans fought
back. Hoehn said his navigator was shot
down in a plane flying next to his and
was taken prisoner until the end of the
war. Hoehns aircraft was also damaged.
My plane got shot up pretty bad and I
didnt have any navigation system to get
back, so I went back across the channel toward home and I started losing
oil pressure on three engines. I wanted
to drop my bombs, but they said too
many of our ships were in the channel.
It was still overcast and we had to go
through 10,000 feet of clouds to get to
our base. A fighter pilot said you stay
on my wing and Ill take you down, so
I did that and when I saw the ground all
I had to do was drop the throttle and put

mission I had. Once when they had a
lowlevel mission over Holland to drop
supply ammunition to our troops, We
went in at tree tops and I had an engine
shot out. Hoehn said he also flew tactical missions to annihilate bridges, dams
and construction areas used to build
U-Boats.
Hoehn had put in his 35 missions
and was sent back to the United States
just after The Battle of the Bulge. He
went home for 30 days, married his
fianc, Alice Martz, and then went on
to California, where he was to train on
B-29 Superfortresses to bomb Japan.
As it turned out, the war ended with the
Atomic Bomb in August. He was discharged in October of 1945 and returned
to Ohio. He worked at BP Chemical
in Lima until his retirement in 1982.
Throughout much of his working life
and after, Ralph kept bees, growing from
seven to 500 colonies. He said that in his
best year, he collected 60,000 pounds of
honey, which sold for five cents a pound
at that time.
When asked about his fears during World War II, Ralph replied that
he prayed a lot. There was a chaplain
who would be at the end of the runway
when we were leaving on a mission and
hed bless each plane as the pilot hit the
throttle to take off.
The Distinguished Flying Cross
medal is awarded to anyone in the U.

Ag Credit partners with NRCS

to provide cover crop signs
INFORMATION
SUBMITTED
FOSTORIA Ag Credit
is partnering with the Natural
Resources
Conservation
Service (NRCS) to provide metal signs to be
placed in cover crop fields
funded by NRCSs special Environmental Quality
Incentives Programs (EQIP)
cover crop project.
Last August, NRCS created the EQIP project in
response to the drinking
water ban in Toledo. The
project covered 20 Ohio
counties in the Western Lake
Erie Basin with the goal of
reducing agricultural phosphorus entering Lake Erie
by increasing the amount of
land planted to a cover crop.
Cover crops improve agricultural productivity by improving soil health and reducing
soil erosion which in turn
protects water quality.
The Farmers Protecting
Our Lake signs promote
awareness about conservation tied to Lake Erie water
quality. State Conservationist
Terry Cosby said, Many
people dont know what
cover crops look like. These
signs will help spark conversation about cover crops and
what farmers are doing to
help improve water quality.
Brian Ricker, Ag Credit
CEO, and Terry Cosby,
NRCS State Conservationist,
met at the farm of Ag Credit
member, Jerry McBride, in
Hardin County, to place the
Delphos FFA awards

Greenhand degrees
At the November FFA meeting 49 members received their Greenhand degrees. To receive the Greenhand degree, students have to meet the following requirements: a member must be regularly enrolled in an agriculture
education class for an agriculture occupation; have plans for a satisfactory
supervised agricultural experience; and have learned and can explain the
meaning of the FFA creed, colors, motto and salute. They must be able to
describe the FFA emblem, colors, and symbols; explain the proper use of
the FFA jacket; have knowledge of the history of the organization; know
responsibilities of FFA members; maintain a satisfactory scholastic record
in the agricultural course; and finally submit a written application. Members
who were present to receive the degree include Shayna Sanchez, Sarah
Cline, Marie Mueller, Cody Wright, Collin Will, Gavin Seffernick, Madison

OFBF proposes improvements

to farmland tax rules
INFORMATION
SUBMITTED
COLUMBUS Ohio
Farm Bureau Federation
(OFBF) has presented its
official recommendations to
the Ohio General Assembly
and Ohio Tax Commissioner
Joseph W. Testa that will
improve and modernize the
Current Agricultural Use
Value (CAUV) program.
Under CAUV, farmland
is taxed on its agricultural
productivity rather than its
development value.
There are a lot of farmers
and landowners facing huge
increases in their tax bills at
the same time their incomes
have fallen drastically, said
John C. (Jack) Fisher, Ohio
Farm Bureaus executive vice
president.
Because Farm Bureau
is the leading resource of
information for landowners,
county auditors and members
of the General Assembly,
the organization constantly
reviews and evaluates the
CAUV formula to ensure that
farmland is being accurately
valued. The process intensified this year.
Our primary goal is preserving the integrity of the
CAUV program, Fisher
said. But we also know there
Description
are areas where the CAUV

formula could be modernized
and improved.
Following
extensive
research and meetings with
tax experts, state and local
tax officials, accountants,
attorneys, appraisers, farmers, landowners and other
stakeholders, Farm Bureau
identified and recommended
a number of specific adjustments to the formula that will
improve and strengthen the
program. The changes, when
enacted, would be implemented for 2015 values and
affect taxes paid in 2016 and
beyond.
OFBF gave detailed recommendations to change the
CAUV formula to:
1) More closely tie tax
values to current economic
conditions in agriculture.
2) Include more recent
data on crop mix, prices,
yields and production costs.
3) Better represent the true
value of woodlands compared
to cropland.
These recommendations,
when enacted, will more
accurately value farmland
and provide a more stable,
predictable tax amount for
landowners to plan for in the
future, Fisher said.

first sign.
This year, thanks to
the help of this program,
McBride planted 374 acres of
cover crops including cereal
rye, hairy vetch, and tillage
radishes. McBride says, We
do all we can for the environment. The more I can do to
help, the better it is for everyone downstream. He has
been planting cover crops for
five years and participates in
other NRCS EQIP projects.
Ricker added, Part of
being a cooperative is reaching out and creating partnerships with others in the community to benefit our 6,000
farm family members. These
signs will be a great talking
point and benefit to Lake Erie
and the community.
An
unprecedented
response from watershed
farmers resulted in applications to plant cover crops
on 86,000 acres. NRCS had

funding for 60,000 acres of
cover crops, although many
farmers planted cover crops
on their own or as part of the
State sponsored cover crop
program.

Area farmers finish harvest

BY JAMES HOORMAN
Putnam County Extension
Ag Educator
news@delphosherald.com
Ed Lentz wrote this article with
minor revisions by Jim Hoorman.
The cool wet fall conditions delayed
harvest and farmers have worked day
and night to get the fields harvested.
In general, farmers have been pleased
with yields of all the grain crops grown
in the area, which includes corn, soybean and wheat. Farmers needed extra
yield in 2014 to partially offset the
lower grain market prices this year.
The relatively dry spring early was
ideal for corn planting and allowed
young seedlings to develop deep roots.
Deeper roots allowed the corn to get
adequate moisture when conditions
became dry late in the season. Some of
the later planted corn was affected by
dry August conditions and may have
seen reduced yields, particularly in the
north/northwestern parts of the county.
The cool wet fall conditions may have
reduced kernel size and test weight
resulting in lower yields and grain
quality. However, many parts of the
county have had above average corn
yields (over 200 bushel per acre and
some 300 bushel/acre). Again, timely
summer rains and good genetics make
grain.
Grain farmers are receiving less for
their corn this year, but the livestock
industry has been taking advantage
of the lower prices. It will be several
years before cattle numbers recover
from the herd reductions that occurred
during the 2012 drought and years of
high grain prices, so beef prices should
remain high at the grocery store. The

area farmers produce more corn than is
needed by the local livestock industry
and the excess is loaded on trains to
be used for livestock feed, particularly
in the Southeast. Ethanol also utilizes
corn and local farmers receive better
prices for their corn because three ethanol plants are located nearby.
Soybeans had a tougher start in the
area than corn in 2014. Emergence
was a problem for some fields
because soils were too dry or too wet
and surface crusting affected fields
that received heavy rains before
emergence. Soybeans have the ability to adapt during the growing season since they produce flowers over
a six week time period. Good yields
generally occur if adequate rainfall
accumulates during this time period.
Most of the county received timely
rains during the critical part of the
soybean growing season in August.
As a result, soybean yields of many
farmers will be above the county
average and larger in 2014 than 2013
with yields ranging from 50 to 70+
bushel per acre.
In the area, soybeans are primarily
grown for protein meal and oil. The
grain is not directly used by local farmers and will be shipped to a soybean
crushing facility to extract oil and
produce protein meal. The oil may be
used for foods, industrial purposes and
biodiesel. In this area a large amount of
it is further refined to make vegetable
oil, similar to the general cooking oil
one buys at the grocery store. The meal
is an important protein source for livestock rations.
Despite the past cold winter, most
of the wheat crop survived because

of abundant snow cover. The drier
spring conditions resulted in less
disease problems for the crop. In
general, wheat yields were good in
the area in 2014 and the grain was
of higher quality than recent years.
Local mills in the area have utilized
most of the local crop because of
the good grain quality, so crackers or cakes at the store may have
been baked from locally grown wheat
flour. Planted wheat acres this fall
will be similar to last year and less
than the historical acreage. Farmers
were unable to get many wheat fields
planted because weather delayed the
soybean harvest. Since wheat follows
soybeans, this delay allowed too few
days for planting and establishing
wheat before winter. In summary,
farmers in the area have been blessed
with respectable crop yields in 2014.
However, farmers will be paid less
for their grain and their income will
be considerably lower than previous
years.

Herbed Turkey Breast

2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons granulated sugar
1 1/4 pounds turkey breast tenderloin
1/4 cup finely sliced green onions (green and white
parts)
2 tablespoons minced fresh thyme or cilantro
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon finely grated fresh ginger (or 1 teaspoon ground ginger)
1 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
1 teaspoon grated lime peel
3 teaspoons olive oil, or as needed
Lime wedges
Sprigs of fresh thyme or cilantro
Combine salt and sugar on a plate; rub thoroughly
into the turkey. Place turkey in a bowl or plastic bag;
refrigerate 2 to 3 hours.
In a small bowl, combine green onions, thyme,
garlic, ginger, pepper and lime peel. Mix well; set
aside.
Remove turkey from refrigerator; rinse off as
much salt-sugar mixture as possible. Pat turkey dry
with paper towels. Cut turkey into 4-5 serving pieces.
Place turkey pieces between two sheets of plastic;
pound to 1/2-inch thickness with a flat mallet, flat

pieces with reserved green onion mixture, pressing it
firmly onto the turkey meat.
Heat 2 teaspoons of the oil in a large skillet. Add
turkey in a single layer, taking care not to crowd the
pan. Cook until brown on both sides. Reduce heat;
cook until thoroughly done. Add remaining oil, if
needed. Total cooking time is about 6 minutes.
Place turkey pieces on a serving platter or individual plates. Garnish with lime wedges and thyme
sprigs. Makes 4 to 5 servings

character. It helps me feel not so alone.

I have hope that there will continue to be
people who speak out, people who are not
so afraid anymore of what others will think
when they admit to being diagnosed with
mental disorders. We shouldnt be ashamed
to speak out about this. Its not like we asked
for it. This is the way we
came. And Im just now
learning to be accepting of
it myself. The more people
who speak out, the more
the media and pop culture
portray it in an accepting
and accurate way, the more
we will all understand and
be accepting of it.
As far as Homeland
goes, a show that is depicting a character diagnosed
with bipolar disorderwell, I applaud it. I
definitely relate to itto the rapid speech pattern, the racing thoughtsthe, at times, help
of wondrous Ativan.
Its hard to say how much I relate when
Im the one living it. I asked Andy. He said
when Im manic I am a busybody, that Im
doing a bunch of stuff at once.
I totally relate to the depressive episodes.
Its unreal. Its just nice to have anyone to
relate to, really, anyone who can vouch for the
symptoms, even a fictional character.
I love my real-life bipolar friends, and
I love my so-called life bipolar friends the
same. And I highly recommend the show.

I think my family (husband included) is

finally starting to understand bipolar disorder a little better. For so long, I felt like they
thought I was making it up. Its not like diabetes or cancer, where theres a physician who
can vouch for the symptoms. The symptoms
in this case are highly subjective; my family
can rely on the accounts
of other people with the
disorder, and they can rely
on me. I think with my
explanation and the help
of others in the media who
are coming forward, people are beginning to understand mental disorders a
little better.
Its always bothered me
that there has largely been
a lack of understanding
when it comes to mental disorders but I guess
I cant fault people who dont understand
when so many people diagnosed are afraid
to speak out. I just dont like feeling like Im
alone here; like Im making this up.
Andy and I watch Homeland, and Claire
Danes portrayal of bipolar disorder is so right
on, its unbelievable. I have loved her since
My So-Called Life and felt like I was Angela
Chase in high school. So its crazy that I can
relate to her character so well now, in a completely different series (Minus the brilliant
CIA stuff). Still, I think it helps the public to
understand mental disorders better when there
are amazing depictions of them in popular
culture. It helps me, too, even if it is just a TV

There is nothing to write about in the world of sports
this week.

The players and owners are all getting along, everybody
has cleaned up his or her act and its rather boring, to say
the least.
Tick, tock!

the false claim by University of Southern California cornerback Josh Shaw about saving his nephew from drowning by jumping from a balcony is back.
It seems that Shaw has been suspended since that
incident Aug. 23 it turns out he had been in some kind
of argument with his girlfriend and hurt both his ankles

there is a possibility he could be re-instated.

Law enforcement has decided Shaw wont be

charged with domestic violence, though Trojan coach
Steve Sarkisian has indicated no change in his playing
status.
Maybe Coach Sark could cut him some slack for this
as well.
Hey, who cant sympathize with the guy for getting
caught doing something stupid of which I am sure (or at
least hope) he is ashamed of and will NOT do again and
then trying to cover up for it?
This may have been a perfect time to learn a lesson: no
one else was hurt but himself and apparently everything is
reasonably fine.
Who cant use a second chance?
I guess thats why Coach Sark gets paid the big bucks.
Here is another item that I think needs to be
addressed.
Defending Heisman Trophy winner Jameis Winston
has had his student code of conduct hearing moved for a
second time, this time to Dec. 2.
It has originally been set for this week before being
moved at the request of the Winston camp.
Why it was apparently moved again, I dont know.
This was for the incident from December 2012 in which
a former female student accused him of assault and if he
violated four sections of the code.
The matter was not pressed by law enforcement but
there is still a matter of the college code there is a
higher standard of burden of proof for questions of law and
other such matters.

Earnhardt wants more

success in 15 with new chief
By DAN GELSTON
Associated Press
Dale Earnhardt Jr. imagined his Nationwide Series

trophy was a chalice, tipped
it back and acted like he was
taking a big swig of champagne or beer the beverages of choice for NASCAR
winners and champions.
Earnhardt had plenty of
practice chugging this season.
He left Homestead-Miami
Speedway with one more
keepsake for the home office
hes running out of room
with a corner of his North
Carolina home
occupied with
a Martinsville
grandfather clock and
validation that his foray into
team ownership was the right
call nearly a decade ago.
Earnhardts career renaissance in 2014 was capped
with the Nationwide championship he won with JR
Motorsports driver Chase
Elliott and crew chief Greg
Ives. He opened the season
with a Daytona 500 victory, swept at Pocono and
won for the first time in 30
career races at Martinsville
Speedway.
All he missed
was a spot in the
final four and a
shot at the Sprint Cup championship.
With his sunglasses on
for a series of poolside interviews in the hours before
the Nationwide banquet,
Earnhardt should have been
basking in the glow of his
greatest all-around season
since jumping to Hendrick
Motorsports in 2008.
But the season-ending parties were also a bleak reminder that Wednesday marked 93
days until the Daytona 500.

Nothing settled going into LPGA Tour finale

Associated Press
NAPLES, Fla. Stacy Lewis has never
been closer to a $1 million payoff, in points
or in person.
Lewis is leading the inaugural Race to
CME Globe that will be decided this week
in the LPGA Tours season finale. The top
three players Lewis, Inbee Park and Lydia
Ko need to win the CME Group Tour

The offseason always kind of throws me into a funk,
Earnhardt said. You want to go to the track the next weekend.
Earnhardt can take solace in all the success of 14, even as
he looks ahead to a bit of an uncertain 2015. Earnhardt and
crew chief Steve Letarte clicked on and off the track this season, talking about championship contention from the moment
they took the checkered flag at Daytona. Letarte, though, will
be making his calls next season for NBC Sports instead of atop
the pit box and Ives will take over after one season as Elliotts
crew chief.
Letarte posted an Instagram photo of a checkered flag
sticker on a computer keyboard in his old office.
Cleaned out my office today. Left this sticker for the new
guy. I expect a lot of these next year Greg & @DaleJr #winners, Letarte tweeted.
Ives, who has paid his dues at Hendrick, gets his turn to try
and guide Earnhardt to his first Cup championship.
Ives has been successful at JRM, winning two races last
year with Regan Smith and leading the 18-year-old Elliott to
the Nationwide crown his rookie season. Ives also was race
engineer for Jimmie Johnsons record run of five consecutive
championships and worked under Johnson crew chief Chad
Knaus and alongside Earnhardts No. 88 team on the Cup side.
While Ives has leaned on Letarte for advice, he planned on
calling races and building a relationship with Junior his own
way.
Gordon
Being out there with

him today you can see hes
excited to be out there, said
Hoyer, who targeted Gordon
19 times in the game against
the Vikings last season. He
wants to be a part of the team.
Pettine is downplaying
how much Gordon will be
used this week but Falcons
coach Mike Smith expects
the Pro Bowler to have an
immediate impact.
Pettine cautioned that
Gordon may not be ready
mentally or physically.
The Browns intend to keep
Gordon on a pitch count in
practice and build up his reps
as the week moves on.
There needs to be a progression, Pettine said. The
trap to fall into is, Hey, hes
back and lets just go ahead
Musings
and throw him out there for

a bunch of plays. Theres
certainly danger inherent in
doing that and we have to be
smart with how we do it.
Gordon was on the cusp
of superstardom last season,
when he amassed 1,646 yards
receiving and scored nine
touchdowns. However, he
failed another test for marijuana and wound up being
punished by the league.
Gordon was initially banned
by the league for a year but
had his suspension reduced in
September.
Gordon said he considered
suing the league but believes
the penalty against him was
fair.
The time away made
Gordon more patient and
appreciative. Hes paid his
price and doesnt want to let
anyone down again.
I dont know if he did or didnt do it I guess I give Jameis

and law enforcement the benefit of the doubt until proven otherwise, though that matter remains under heavy scrutiny and
probably will for some time to come.
I just think that he cannot want this matter or any of
them, for that matter! to remain over his head like the
proverbial ax ready to fall; I would want the decision to be
made once and for all and either let me be a college student/
athlete and let the questions about it slowly die because you
and I both know they wont stop right away; that is how sports
media work! or kick me out.
He has been punished for some things he has done and
hopefully, he is better for it.
I am sure not everyone will like the decision either way.
There will be those maintaining he is just another spoiled rotten athlete getting away with it because of what he does and
the money he brings in; others will say he is being targeted
because he is who he is/does what he does and is held to a
ridiculous standard, that he is out there and open to this sort
of thing.
He is now the target of what he claims are forgeries of his
signature for items being sold on-line.
Welcome to the New Age of Athletics as opposed to
Aquarius!
The Arkansas fans that rushed the field after Saturdays

beating of LSU are being fined $25,000.
What, are the school officials going to up student fees
whatever they are to cover the cost?
Listen, I can understand the excitement of fans that their
team beat big, bad LSU and they want to let everyone know.
I do wonder, though, when the first football player from
either team or even fan is going to get seriously hurt.
It is amazing to me that we havent had one yet or at
least one I have heard about.
In the end, probably the school will eat this.

Union, NFL at odds over

personal conduct policy
Associated Press
The NFL players union wants the
league and its owners to take disciplining players out of the hands of
Commissioner Roger Goodell.
Already at odds over the process
used to punish Ray Rice, the dispute
heightened Tuesday when the league
suspended Vikings running back Adrian
Peterson for the rest of the season for
using a wooden switch to discipline his
4-year-old son.
The central issue remains the same
for both sides: Finding a way to fairly
hold players accountable for transgressions that damage the credibility and
image of the league and its players.
The union wants disciplinary power
now held by Goodell to be handled by
a neutral arbitrator. The league, so far,
doesnt agree.
And while both the league and the
NFL Players Association want to change
the personal conduct policy, the sides
disagree on how to do it. The union
wants to bargain for changes to the policy, while the NFL wants to implement
changes with union input the same way
it changes rules on the field, like when it
moved kickoffs to the 35-yard line.
Union chief DeMaurice Smith told
The Associated Press in an email that
the league indicated it was open to
discussing the policy as recently as two
months ago but didnt follow through
in coming to the table. He wrote those
discussions were distinct from the union
representing Peterson in his case, though
on a parallel track.
There is one fact that does make
those things similar, though, and that is
the NFL is clearly making things up as
they go along, Smith said. Our goal is
to pursue a new personal conduct policy
that is fair, transparent and consistent.
The only way that happens is if the NFL
and the owners commit to collective
bargaining.
Troy Vincent, the NFLs executive
vice president of football operations,
countered that Goodells authority was
collectively bargained with the union in
2011, while the personal conduct policy
in place nearly 20 years has never been
part of contract negotiations.
The union agreed to the
Commissioner maintaining authority to
discipline. The league believes it is in
LPGA
the best interest of football to retain that

authority, Vincent said. The league is
following the process dictated by the
CBA.
The union and players helped revise
the personal conduct policy in 2007,
Vincent said, adding the league has had
multiple meetings with the union this
year on revising the policy using the
same approach.
The rules in place now have
some players and agents wondering if the NFL has too much
power and whether the union
fell short by agreeing to give
Goodell central power over discipline in 2011.
Agent Jerrold Colton, who
represents 4-time All-Pro tackle Jahri
Evans of the Saints, Steelers cornerback
William Gay and 6-time Pro Bowl kicker David Akers, said the unions failure
to negotiate changes to the personal conduct policy in 2011 was a tremendous
oversight.
I felt strongly at the time that it was
a mistake and clearly its turned out
to be one for the players the way its
played out and were stuck with it for
another six years. Due process exists in
most places in the United States except
in the NFL.
Colton added he thinks the players
and league absolutely need an independent, third-party arbitrator.
Peterson pleaded no contest Nov. 4 to
misdemeanor reckless assault in Texas
for injuries to his 4-year-old son with a
wooden switch. He said he intended no
harm, only discipline.
Goodell told Peterson he will not
be considered for reinstatement before
April 15 for his violation of the personal
conduct policy the first example of
a crackdown on players involved with
domestic violence since stricter rules
were put in place earlier this season.
The union, which announced it plans
an appeal on behalf of Peterson, is
demanding a neutral arbitrator oversee
the hearing in the same way Rices
case was handled. Rice is waiting for
an arbirtrator to decide whether his
indefinite suspension should be upheld
or overturned. Goodell made Rices suspension more severe when video of Rice
hitting his then-fiancee was released
online.
Goodell has said he hopes to have
Winning takes care of everything.

The Race to CME Globe is similar to the FedEx Cup on
the PGA Tour, except the numbers are easier and the payout
substantially smaller.
The points have been reset so that the top three players
have to win the tournament to capture the bonus and only the
top nine have a mathematical shot at the $1 million. Karrie
Webb is holding down the final spot. Webb would have to win
and have Lewis finish out of the top 40, so its a long shot.
Much more compelling than cash are the awards.
Lewis has a 3-point lead in LPGA player of the year. Her
scoring average is 69.476, compared with 69.571 for Park.
U.S. Womens Open champion Michelle Wie is not too far
behind at 69.795. Depending on the scoring, this could be the
first time the LPGA Tour has four players with a sub-70 scoring average.
Lewis looks to be relatively safe to win the money title with
a lead of nearly $300,000. Park would have to win to surpass
her. Lewis has a chance to become the first American in 20
years to win the Vare Trophy, player of the year and the money
title. Beth Daniel swept them in 1994.
The advantage might fall to Park, who recently replaced
Lewis atop the world ranking and has nine consecutive top10s. Lewis has slowed considerably in the second half of the
season, with only four top 10s in her last 12 tournaments.
It was so much easier on Park a year ago. She wrapped
up player of the year before arriving to Florida for the sea-

Lawyer asks judge to approve NFL concussion

deal
PHILADELPHIA If the NFLs estimated $1 billion
settlement of concussion claims isnt approved, the
league will pursue scorched-earth litigation, a lead
lawyer for former players said Wednesday.
Christopher Seegers arguments opened a daylong fairness hearing on the plan in federal court in
Philadelphia. The deal would settle thousands of lawsuits that accuse the NFL of
long hiding what it knew about concussion
risks to rush players back on the field.
It would have been an expensive,
scorched-earth litigation (without a settlement). We know that because of other
parties that have litigated with the NFL,
Seeger said.
The NFL has deployed several strong
legal defenses already: the dispute belongs
in mediation under the contract; that former
players cant prove which concussion caused which
injury; and that many ex-players filed suit too late. On
the other hand, the NFL would have to open their files if
the case goes to trial and potentially disclose damaging
information.
What matters now is time and many retired players
do not have much left, former Philadelphia Eagle Kevin
Turner wrote in a statement urging the plans passage.
Turner, at 45, has battled Lou Gehrigs disease
since 2010 and was too ill to attend the hearing.
The NFL expects about 6,000 former players to
develop Alzheimers disease or moderate dementia in
the coming decades. Their awards could reach $3 million but would likely average $190,000, given reductions
for advanced age, other medical conditions and years
in the league.
Some critics feel thats not enough to cover their
needs, while others complain that there are no awards
for depression, mood swings, dizziness and other problems they link to football concussions.
Another chief concern is that the plan leaves out
future payments for chronic traumatic encephalopathy,
or CTE, which some call the signature disease of
football. The estates of players who died and were diagnosed with CTE from 2006-14 can seek up to $4 million
but future deaths are excluded to avoid incentivizing
suicide. The problem cannot currently be diagnosed
in the living.
Thomas Demetrio, a lawyer representing the family
of former Chicago Bears safety Dave Duerson, argued
that CTE is not going away. Duerson, a fan favorite
whose life derailed into increasingly erratic behavior,
shot himself in the chest in a 2011 suicide. He left
behind a note asking that his brain be tested for CTE.
The tests were positive.
The NFL by this settlement will never have to say
what they knew, when they knew it and CTE Poof!
Its gone, Demetrio argued.
Demetrio ridiculed the $112 million in legal fees the
players lawyers could split, suggesting the only person
who earned it was NFL lawyer Brad Karp.
Senior U.S. District Judge Anita Brody gave preliminary approval of the plan in July after the NFL lifted a
proposed $765 million cap. The total includes $75 million for baseline testing and $10 million for research.
With inflation and lawyer fees, the NFL could pay out
$1 billion or more over 65 years.
The case involves only retirees who played under
earlier contracts. About 200 retired players opted out
and could sue on their own.

Scott opens with 1-over 73 at Australian Masters
MELBOURNE, Australia Defending champion Adam
Scott struggled in the blustery conditions at Metropolitan Golf
Club on Thursday for a 1-over 73 in the first round of the
Australian Masters.
Scott, who won the Masters the past two years at other
nearby sand-belt courses Royal Melbourne and Kingston
Heath began play on the back nine Thursday and shot 38,
including a double-bogey on the 18th after his approach found

After all, isnt college football supposed to be about the

pageantry, the excitement, the incredible passion that it brings
to college campuses across the nation?
For example, I remember reading a stat that when Nebraska
has a home football game, Memorial Stadium (capacity 87,000
or so) is the third-largest city in the state?
Where else do you get crowds that large on a regular basis?
And yet, there still has to be a semblance of control and
keeping emotions in check.
A fine line, isnt it?

New girlfriend is eager to rid

garage of ex-girlfriends stuff
DEAR ABBY: My boyfriend, Ron,
and I have been together for more than a
year, and we now live together. His garage is
full to overflowing with his ex-girlfriends
belongings. She apparently left him and all her
stuff -- including her four cats -- to marry some
guy she met online. She no longer lives in this
country.
Im fine with taking care of the cats; they are
innocent and I love them. However, I want her
stuff out of the garage. Ron thinks its the right
thing to do to keep it until she can arrange for
it to be moved to her new place.
Abby, it has been a year and a half! Shes not
going to move this stuff. I want to donate it or
trash it as appropriate, and I dont think legally
we have any responsibility to tell her or ask her
before we do. What do you think? -- WANTS
IT GONE IN OKLAHOMA
DEAR WANTS IT GONE: It would be
neither appropriate nor kind to do anything
to Rons ex-girlfriends belongings without
warning. Ron should contact her, inform her
that he wants to use his garage for the purpose
it is intended, and ask if she wants the items she
left to be disposed of or put into storage at her
expense. He should allow a reasonable time for
her to respond before doing anything, and you
should distance yourself from the process.
DEAR ABBY: I have a friend with one
annoying habit. Whenever we have a party,
shell invite friends without asking first, or by
saying, I told them it was OK to come. It
creates a problem because we plan our parties
for a certain number of guests, and now there
are two, three, sometimes even four more -often on short notice.
I like her friends, but they are not close
friends of mine. Sometimes I just would like
to have an intimate gathering with four to six

people.
At my last gathering she invited not only
her friends but also their children. It went from
an intimate brunch for six to a party of 12. We
even had to set up a second table.
How can I get her to stop, short of not
inviting her to any more of our parties? I feel
stuck in a situation that no matter what I do,
Im going to P.O. somebody. Any suggestions?
-- PARTY PLANNER IN GEORGIA
DEAR PARTY PLANNER: Your friend
has a lot of nerve and no manners. She appears
to be using you to entertain her other friends,
which is not only rude, but also extremely
presumptuous. She will continue treating you
this way until you call a halt by telling her to
cut it out because you dont like it. If she cant
respect your wishes after that, see her only on a
one-on-one basis.
DEAR ABBY: I know someone who receives
Social Security for her disabled children. She
uses that money to feed a slot machine. Those
children could have so many opportunities if
their money was used appropriately and its
going down the drain. What can I do about it?
It saddens me. -- THINKING ABOUT THE
KIDS
DEAR THINKING ABOUT THE KIDS:
It appears the woman is addicted to gambling.
What shes doing may sadden you, but as a
taxpaying American it infuriates me because
her children arent getting the assistance that
money is meant to provide. So please, pick up
the phone, call the Department of Childrens
Services and clue them in to whats happening.
Im betting theyll be interested.
COPYRIGHT 2014 UNIVERSAL UCLICK
The unhandy man
Sue can always find some

silly excuse to go to the
building supply store. Like: If
we dont fix the leak in the roof,
the living room ceiling will
collapse. If we dont replace
the three missing risers on the
front porch steps, someone will
trip, break a leg and sue us. If
we dont fix the freezer, all the
food will melt and spoil.
Im a city boy; I know
nothing about this stuff. When
she said she needed to get grout
and spackle, I thought she
needed them to finish making
dinner.
Pick up a nice little wine,
dear, were having Braised
Grout Stuffed with Spackle
on a Bed of Wilted Frisee and
Sauteed Wild Mushrooms.
And I dont want to know
anything about fixing the
house. The three scariest words
in the English language to me
are Do It Yourself. Why on
Earth would you want to do
it yourself when you can pay
someone else to do it for you?
The sheer size of home
improvement stores prove Im
in the minority here, but their
size should also be a warning
sign to all homeowners. It
means youre going to spend
a fortune improving your
home, which you already paid
an arm and a leg for.
When we were renting
an apartment in the city, our
friends would always wag
their fingers and say, Youre
just throwing money away on

rent. If you bought a house,
all that rent money would be
equity. So we bought a house
in the country. Now all that
money is equity. For the home
improvement stores.
Dont believe me? Try to
find a parking space at one.
You have to drive around for a
half-hour waiting for someone
to leave. Some of them are
open 24/7. I saw a sign in the
lumber department once that
said, No wood cut after 10:30
p.m. If so many people want
their wood cut after 10:30 p.m.
that they had to make a sign, we
are in the middle of a national
do-it-yourself epidemic. No
contractor I know is working at
10:30 p.m. Its hard enough to
get them to work at 10:30 a.m.
The DIY set is obsessed
with kitchens and bathrooms.
If theyre not remodeling them,
theyre adding new ones. I
expect to start seeing real estate
ads soon that read, Ninebathroom, two-bedroom home,
newly remodeled professional
kitchen with cathedral ceiling,
granite countertops, Viking
stove, sink carved from a
solid block of Carrara marble.
Second bedroom could be
turned into a tenth bathroom.
These stores are full of guys
(well, except for my wife and
many women like her, who
married lazy, loser, good-fornothing,
glued-to-the-sofa
husbands) who are going to
Jim Mullen
The
Village
Idiot
install Jacuzzis by themselves.
Guys who are buying pressure
hoses to clean their decks
-- decks that they built with
wood that they bought here
and presumably had cut before
10:30 p.m. There are guys
buying tools to cut bathroom
tile, tools to cut pipe, tools to
cut wire.
On one trip, I had to use the
restroom, which always seems
to be a 2-mile walk from the
front door, past guys who are
buying screen doors, plywood,
miter boxes, arc welders, PVC
pipe, crushed marble and
dropcloths. I get to the mens
room, walk up to the urinal, and
its full.
It seems I have discovered
the one thing do-it-yourselfers
cant do. Im in a store full of
guys who know how to install
a toilet, but dont know how to
flush one.

Ohio Farm Bureau, other farm organizations
and Ohio State Universitys College of Food,

committed additional millions of dollars to the
effort to protect water and preserve farming.
As farmers continue to adapt to additional
regulations and adopt new voluntary measures, Ohio Farm Bureau is calling on municipalities, homeowners and others who impact
water quality to become equally active in
finding solutions to Ohios water challenges.

Most of all, we will

maintain the integrity of the
CAUV program, which for
more than 40 years has been
an excellent tool for preserving farmland through fair
landowner taxation, he said.
OFBFs recommendations
can be accomplished through
administrative action and
will not require legislation.
OFBF is continuing to
research additional improvements to the formula and is
working through its grassroots policy development
process where members will
analyze and debate tax policy issues such as CAUV.
We anticipate that further recommendations will
surface through our ongoing policy development process, Fisher said.
