NEW BREMEN — Lock One Community Arts
with main sponsors Crown and Dianne Komminsk
brought Big Nate to New Bremen High School’s
Dicke Auditorium on Friday for students wrapping
up the school’s Right to Read Week.
Big Nate is adapted from the popular books and
comic strips by Lincoln Peirce. When Beth Poppe,
of Lock One, opened the performance she asked,
by a show of hands, which students had read the Big
Nate books, hands across the auditorium went up.
“And lots of you have read several of them right?”
she said.
Many students nodded.
WAPAKONETA — The lawyer representing
Charles Wycuff filed a motion for modification of
bond on Thursday in an attempt to lower the amount
his client must pay to be released from Mercer County Jail.
Rob C. Wiesenmayer II submitted an official
document with the Auglaize County Common Pleas
Court that states his desire to reduce his client’s current bond, set at $500,000 without the option to pay a
10 percent cash provision, to $150,000 with a 10 percent cash provision.
If Auglaize County Common Pleas Judge Fred

Inmates built
ladder to escape
TOLEDO (AP) — A convicted school shooter
and two other Ohio inmates managed to get inside
a maintenance access area and spent several months
building a makeshift a ladder that they used to escape in September, according to a report released
by the state on Friday.
The inmates climbed the ladder to get on the
roof of the prison’s administration building and
then jumped about 15 feet to freedom.
All three were caught within hours of the escape.
The Department of Rehabilitation and Correction’s investigation also found a security camera at
the unit where the escape happened wasn’t working
because of an earlier lightning strike and that some
lighting near the prison needed to be repaired.
T.J. Lane, 20, was serving a life sentence for
opening fire and killing three students in a cafeteria
at Chardon High School near Cleveland in 2012.
Lane, who wore a T-shirt with the word “killer”
scrawled on it at his sentencing last year, was captured in a wooded area about six hours after the
prison break on Sept. 11.
Another inmate was found within minutes just
outside the Allen-Oakwood Correctional Institution in Lima while the other was discovered hiding
under a boat across the road nine hours after the
escape.
A video released Friday by the corrections department showed all three running through a soybean field just outside the prison fence.
The maintenance access area the inmates got
into was described in the report as being similar to
a crawl space. The inmates were able to open a padlock on a door to the maintenance area, the report
said.
The prison department has since repaired lighting at the prison, updated the alarm system and
added razor ribbon on top of the administration
building and other areas, the report said.
The state also has reassigned the warden at the
prison and demoted the deputy warden.

BUCKLAND — Buckland Village Councilors met this week to
discuss several village projects.
Mayor Dan Lambert shared information from Andrew Shuman
of Choice One Engineering in Sidney regarding replacement of the
roof on the sewer building at the
south end of the village.
Concerns were raised at the
Sept. 11 meeting about the pitch on
part of the roof, which was judged
as being too flat to be able to handle an accumulation of snow.
Council voted at that meeting
to approve the plans for the new
roof at the September meeting,
pending the development of an appropriate pitch and receipt of all
necessary approvals.
Lambert had shared emails at
the at the October meeting stating
that the engineers had reviewed
the plans and approved them as
created.
Since that council meeting, a
meeting was held with Choice One
to go over options.
The cost to make the required
revisions to the plan would be between $3,200 and $3,500. Councilors voted to accept the changes
and increase the pitch of the roof.
Concerns were raised Thursday
regarding the condition of the rear
wall of the building. Councilors
decided to get appraisals of its condition. The overall contract for the
new roof would be bid out with and
without the rear wall in the event it
has to be removed.
The project timeline is set for
spring of 2015. Sewer tie-ins are
requested to be completed by May
1, but Lambert suggested residents
may want to get it done sooner.
Lambert told councilors that the
county will institute a new permit
process regarding sewer lines as of
Jan. 13, 2015.
Lambert was not sure what the
fee would be for the new permit.
The new process is designed to ensure that the transfer of lines and
abandonment of the septic system
is done properly.
The elephant remaining in the
room was the failed levy.
Residents on Nov. 4 voted down
a 4-mill, 5-year levy that was estimated to have raised $9,120 per
year over the life of the levy, if approved. The vote was 48-41.
Lambert discussed a few options:
r-PXFSUIFUBYDSFEJUGPSUBYFT
paid to other jurisdictions to 50
percent, 25 percent, or eliminate
the credit entirely.
r.PWFUIFWJMMBHFPđDFTPVUPG
the former school to save on utility
costs.
r 4FMM UIF GPSNFS TDIPPM BOE
possibly other buildings the village owns.
r &MJNJOBUF UIF QPMJDF EFQBSUment.
r$POTJEFSBNJMMZFBSMFWZ
for the May ballot.
Lambert has already agreed to
take a pay cut.
Legislation regarding options
for the tax credit cut and lowering
the mayor’s salary will be provided
at the next council meeting, Lambert said. Also to be discussed will
be the proposed sale of properties,
the possible elimination of the police department and the move out
of the former school building.
The next meeting will be held at
6:30 p.m., Dec. 11, at the village office in the former school.

History Highlights
The Associated Press
Today is Saturday, Nov. 15, the 319th day of 2014.
There are 46 days left in the year.
Today’s Highlight in History:
On Nov. 15, 1864, during the Civil War, Union
forces led by Maj. Gen. William T. Sherman began
their “March to the Sea” from Atlanta, with the goal
of crippling the region’s military and economic resources; the campaign ended with the capture of Savannah on Dec. 21.
On this date:
In 1777, the Second Continental Congress approved the Articles of Confederation.
In 1806, explorer Zebulon Pike sighted the mountaintop now known as Pikes (cq) Peak in present-day
Colorado.
In 1889, Brazil was proclaimed a republic as its
emperor, Dom Pedro II, was overthrown.
In 1939, President Franklin D. Roosevelt laid the
cornerstone of the Jefferson Memorial in Washington, D.C.
In 1942, the naval Battle of Guadalcanal ended
during World War II with a decisive U.S. victory over
Japanese forces.
In 1954, actor-director Lionel Barrymore, 76, died
in Van Nuys, California.
In 1958, actor Tyrone Power, 44, died in Madrid,
Spain, while filming “Solomon and Sheba.” (Power’s
part was recast with Yul Brynner.)
In 1959, four members of the Clutter family of Holcomb, Kansas, were found murdered in their home.
(Ex-convicts Richard Hickock and Perry Smith were
later convicted of the killings and hanged.)
In 1964, Bonanza Air Lines Flight 114, a Fairchild
F-27A, crashed outside of Las Vegas, killing all 29
people on board.
In 1974, the disaster movie “Earthquake” was
released by Universal Pictures in “Sensurround,”
which bombarded the audience with low-frequency
sound waves during the quake scenes.
In 1984, Stephanie Fae Beauclair, the infant
publicly known as “Baby Fae” who had received a
baboon’s heart to replace her own congenitally deformed one, died at Loma Linda University Medical
Center in California three weeks after the transplant.
In 1989, Polish labor activist Lech Walesa (lek
vah-WEN’-sah) addressed a joint meeting of the
U.S. Congress. Time Warner launched The Comedy
Channel, which later merged with Viacom’s HA! network to form Comedy Central.
Ten years ago: The White House announced
that Secretary of State Colin Powell was leaving
President George W. Bush’s Cabinet, along with Education Secretary Rod Paige, Agriculture Secretary
Ann Veneman and Energy Secretary Spencer Abraham. The U.N. Security Council imposed an arms
embargo on Ivory Coast’s hard-line government after
its violent confrontation with France.
Five years ago: President Barack Obama
concluded a two-day summit with Asia-Pacific leaders in Singapore, where they pledged to persist with
stimulus spending until a global recovery was assured. Kosovo’s first independent elections ended
peacefully, with Prime Minister Hashim Thaci (HAH’shihm THAH’-chee) claiming victory for his party.
Michelle Wie earned her first win on the LPGA Tour,
closing with a 3-under 69 to finish two strokes ahead
of Paula Creamer in the Lorena Ochoa Invitational.
One year ago: Toronto Mayor Rob Ford vowed
to take the City Council to court after it voted overwhelmingly to strip him of some of his powers over
his admitted drug use, public drinking and increasingly erratic behavior. China’s leaders announced
the first significant easing of their one-child policy
in nearly 30 years and moved to abolish its labor
camp system. Dressed in a black Batman costume,
5-year-old leukemia patient Miles Scott fulfilled his
wish to be his favorite superhero, fighting villains and
rescuing a damsel in distress in an elaborate fantasy
staged by the city of San Francisco and arranged by
the Make-a-Wish Foundation. (The event cost the
city $105,000, but the tab was picked up by the John
and Marcia Goldman Foundation.)
Letter to the Editor
Dear Editor,
Mercifully the November elections are behind us.
The departure of political ads makes it possible to
explore other issues. This letter addresses one critical to any community — its children’s education and
preparation for life.
New Bremen’s Mayor Jeff Pape, its Village Council, and its Administrator have listened to the community, carried out their responsibilities masterfully
over the last years. The Village’s infrastructure has
been both renewed and augmented, resulting in what
has to be one of the most attractive small communities in Ohio. Add the economic stability provided
by a world-leading logistics systems manufacturer in
Crown Equipment.
How could there be trouble in paradise? Not unexpectedly, it happens when open-mindedness takes
a vacation, when ego and self-righteousness replace
communication, or fear of transparency prevails. That
describes New Bremen’s successive school boards and
administration over more than a decade.
This is not simply entitlement; it penetrates the
system’s education strategies and tactics. It should
trouble the entire community, and challenge its parents, because the performances impact their children’s future capacities to compete, have a good life.
I think that is serious business, of greater importance
than smugness over questionable standardized test
scores, than belaboring operating trivia, or plugging
slogans and banners, and whether NBHS wins football games.
Given word limits, this assessment focuses initially
on the NBS board, and two failed attempts at a grade
1-8 replacement facility levy. There were multiple
reasons these levies failed but topping the list, they
were both inflated, flawed offerings. Residents either
did not see the immediate need to replace the present structure, or were gobsmacked by the amount of
school tax increase; others were turned off by what
appeared to be trickery to slip a new football facility
into the levy, for a sport where NBS may never be able
to compete. Looking at the votes, the conclusion is
that the majority of Village voters acted a lot smarter
than its school board.
Fast forward to November 2014: The representation by the present board is that the replacement
facility levy will not be back on the ballot for two to
three years. Add design and construction lead times,
and that strategy could delay replacement possibly till
the end of this decade. Some will applaud a delayed
but still inevitable tax bite. Some, especially parents,
should be very angry.
Angry, because public education is in transition.
How early learning occurs is increasingly linked to
its buildings’ designs, and the needed 21st century
classroom is not what’s serving New Bremen. What
happens in those classrooms doesn’t stay there, but
impacts all downstream. Where the nation is calling
for collegiate opportunities for all who wish it, even
that is impacted. As a teacher, professor, and administrator at major universities for a quarter century,
what will come out of systems that fail to think will
cripple or impede your child’s future ability to make
it in those higher education classrooms and labs.
Whether this board’s choice, to delay replacing an
obsolete structure with a modern learning facility, is
the delusion of seeing NBHS football rise from the
dead so a new football stadium can be slipped into
your tax bill, or there is some other agenda not properly being made public, this board is failing worse
than the two levies.
If a school board can’t get its head into this century, and include the community in deliberations,
then that oversight may need all new players. That’s
termed “recall,” and if the need is there Ohio law allows it.

Sheriff warns of recent scams
ST. MARYS — Auglaize County Sheriff Al Solomon urged residents to be aware of new scams
out in the area. Two new scams
have surfaced causing lots of computer viruses and costing residents
money.
The first is a UPS/Federal Express e-mail scam. Victims receive
an e-mail from UPS or Federal Express stating they have a package
to be delivered but delivery cannot
be made until they open an attachment that has a routing number.
When the attachment is opened it
starts a virus on the computer that
has caused millions of dollars in
loss and damage around the state.
Do not open or reply to any e-mail
like this. Delete it. These are not
from UPS or Federal Express.
The second is an e-mail sent
with a photograph of an attractive
female asking for a donation to
help her with a modeling career or
career of that type. Money is sent
and it is also a scam.
“There are a lot of scams and
with the holidays approaching it
may increase,” Solomon said in a
news release.
“Remember this, you have the
right to hang up on people who
call trying to sell something or
asking for donations. These scammers prey on the elderly and kind
people. Tell them no and hang up.
We were all raised to be polite and
listen and these criminals prey on
that. There are plenty of legitimate organizations to donate to if
you feel the need. You can contact
them. If you are ever suspicious
talk to a family member or call
the sheriff’s office and talk with a
deputy. There is also a national “do
not call list” you can be placed on
and a deputy can give you the information and direction on doing
this to eliminate some of the unwanted calls. The best advice on a
suspicious e-mail is hit the delete
button.”

Do Not Call List Registry, visit
DoNotCall.gov or call 1-888-3821222.
House approves Keystone bill
WASHINGTON (AP) — Congress inched closer
Friday to a possible showdown with President Barack
Obama over the Keystone XL oil pipeline as the Republican-controlled House approved the project. Supporters in the Democratic-run Senate predicted they
will get the 60 votes needed to pass it next week.
The House vote was 252-161 in favor of the bill,
which was sponsored by Rep. Bill Cassidy, R-La., in
an effort to boost his chances to take a Louisiana Senate seat away from Democrat Mary Landrieu. The two
are headed for a Dec. 6 runoff and have been touting
their energy credentials in the oil and gas-producing
state.
Should the Senate send the bill to Obama for his
signature, he would face a decision that pits some
of his environmental concerns about the pipeline,
mainly its consequences for global warming, against
potentially helping a fellow Democrat making a longshot bid to retain her Senate seat.
The House bill was supported by 221 Republicans,
with not a single GOP lawmaker voting against it.
Thirty-one Democrats backed the bill, while 161 rejected it.
“This will make it easier for the Senate to do right
by the American people and finally vote on building
the pipeline,” Cassidy said in a statement after the
vote.
The bill’s passage marked the ninth time the House
had passed a bill to speed up the pipeline’s construction.
Landrieu pushed the Senate to hold its upcoming
vote on the measure. In a call with reporters from
Louisiana, where she was campaigning, Landrieu
called herself the “sparkplug” to get the Keystone bill
through Congress. The House bill is identical to one
introduced by Sen. John Hoeven, R-N.D., and Landrieu in May.
“This bill was drafted to go the distance,” said Landrieu.
As of Friday, supporters of the measure appeared
to have at least 59 of the 60 Senate votes they would
need for approval next week. That included all 45 Republicans and 14 Democrats.
Landrieu conceded, though, that it is unlikely the
Senate or House will have the two-thirds majorities
that would be needed to override an Obama veto of
the bill. She said she did not know Obama’s plans.
“He most certainly understands my position,” Landrieu said. “He understands that there are 15-plus
Democrats in the Senate that really want to build the
Keystone pipeline.”
If the bill fails to pass the Senate next week, Hoeven said he would reintroduce it next year when Republicans will control the chamber. That would make
it one of many showdowns expected with Obama
over energy and environmental policy after Republicans take full control of Congress in January.
The $8 billion pipeline has become a symbol for the
divisions on the country’s energy and environmental
policy. Environmentalists have framed the issue as a
significant test of Obama’s commitment to address
climate change.
rendered unable to assist

his defense or provide for
his family.
In addition, Wiesenmayer stated that his client believes the present
bond is excessive, which
violates the United States
and Ohio constitutions.
Wycuff’s bond was set
at $500,000 because he
“supposedly” posed a
danger to the community and the alleged victim,
and presented a risk of
flight, the motion stated.
Wiesenmayer writes
the facts do not support
the court’s ruling for seven reasons:

life.
r)FIBTMJWFEJO"VHlaize County without any

r*UJTOPXWFSZVOMJLFMZ
he will have contact with
the sole, alleged victim
in this case, who is now
in his 30s and currently
lives in New Jersey.
The motion goes on to
state that Wycuff is the
owner of C&C Weld Fabrication, Ltd., a business
located in Wapakoneta,
from which he derives
most of the income needed to provide for himself
and his wife.
Wiesenmayer notes
that Wycuff maintains he
is innocent of all charges.
If convicted, he could
face life in prison.
The motion was sent
to the prosecutor who
has been assigned to
this case, Angela R.
Canepa, of the Ohio Attorney General’s Office.
She has until Nov. 21 to
respond. Wiesenmayer
said Pepple will make a
ruling after Canepa files
her response, should she
choose to do so. If she
chooses to respond, Pepple could require an oral
hearing that would be set
as early as Nov. 24 or 25.
“I apologize for everything that I have done,”
Ball told Pepple during
the hearing. “Heroin
has really messed up my
life.”
Ball was indicted on
two counts of theft and
one count each of aggravated robbery and kidnapping.
As part of a plea agree-
ment, Ball pleaded guilty
to the theft and aggravated robbery charges in
exchange for prosecutors
dismissing the remaining charges.
In the burglary case,
Ball was indicted on
a total of 10 criminal
charges. As part of a plea
agreement, Ball pleaded
guilty to the four charges
in exchange for prosecutors dismissing the other
six counts.
Before handing down
his sentence, Pepple addressed the fact that Ball
victimized a senior citizen outside the bank.
“You robbed this woman at knife point,” Pepple
said. “(You) traumatized
this older woman.”

$500,000 he would currently owe. Wycuff’s
ex-wife, Lori Anderson,

bond with a 10 percent
cash provision. Anderson paid the $15,000 she
owed and was released
from jail Nov. 10.
Wycuff faces 54 counts

“Because they’re fun,” Poppe said. “We want you
to sit back and relax. When it’s funny we want you to
laugh ... but we especially want you to listen.”
She explained that with this being a musical, the
important information would be in the song lyrics.
The professional production showcased the flexibility of a talented cast, with the 10 actors playing
a total of almost 20 characters, with one actor, AJ
Whittenberger, taking on five characters, transitioning from German exchange student to father to
teacher for example. Many of the cast can slip into
characters they don’t currently play to serve as understudies for one another, the program noted.
The success of the play hinged, however, on the absolute clarity in the way the cast communicated the
story line to the audience, pulling the students along
with the kind of big gestures and unambiguous body
language that gave the energy and forward momentum, keeping the students invested in the action.
The plot follows the quest of Nate to live up to the
promise in his fortune cookie that he will be great.
His plans are threatened, however, by the local battle
of the bands in which his band Enslaved Mollusk
will face his arch nemesis’s band Rainbows and Unicorns.
Even more complication arise when Nate teeters
dangerously close to the 25 detention limit that
would disqualify his band.
Which isn’t to say older audiences wouldn’t enjoy
the musical — there are many sly, winking-at-theparents jokes referring to the Beatles or even, once,
Rocky and Bullwinkle. At the end of the performance
the children were able to ask performers questions.
For anyone who didn’t make Friday’s showing,
another performance is planned for 1 p.m. today in
Dicke Auditorium at New Bremen High School at a
cost of $5. Lock One has several more performances
in their “Spectrum of Entertainment” season. Next
month, “Rocky Mountain Christmas” with Jim Curry will be at 3 p.m. Dec. 7.

“It’s a great accomplishment
for our entire program and
our community,” Moyer said.
“Like I told our kids, we’re going somewhere we haven’t been
before. It’s an accomplishment
for everybody. It’s a lot of hard
work and energy that’s gone
into this.”
After the Red Devils scored
inside 1 minute before halftime,
Tippecanoe had an opportunity to continue its momentum
by receiving the second half
kickoff.
Wapakoneta’s defense quickly established control to start the
second half by forcing Tippeca-
noe into a three and out.
An 18-yard run by Cameron
Lauck put Wapakoneta in the
red zone. After no gain on first
down, Wapakoneta called a
timeout.
The Redskins’ benefitted
greatly from the break in action, as Lauck returned the lead
to Wapakoneta with a 19-yard
rushing TD with 5:53 left in the
third quarter.
A mishandled kickoff left
Tippecanoe with its worst starting field position of the night, at
its own 15.
The Red Devils again went
three and out. Wapakoneta,
however, spoiled its best start-
ing position of the night, the
Red Devils’ 36, with an intentional grounding penalty on
third down, leading to another
punt.
Wapakoneta caught a huge
break right away, however.
Red Devils wideout Jakob
Krall tipped a pass from quarterback Zack Blair high into the
air, snatched by Lauck and returned for a 20-yard TD, giving
the Redskins a two-score lead,
21-7, with 2:12 left in the third.
Blair ended up throwing a
season-high 16 pass attempts

Minster’s Jacob Dues goes up for pass against two Versailles defensive backs on Friday.
Minster buries
Versailles 45-19
By BRIAN SMITH
Sports Editor
PIQUA — Minster’s front seven set the tone.
The Wildcats’ ball-hawking secondary and bigplay passing game took it home in an emphatic
45-19 win over the Versailles Tigers in a Division VI second-round playoff win at Piqua’s Alexander Stadium on Friday night.
“We had a great week of practice and our
seniors had us locked in,” Minster head coach
Geron Stokes said.
Minster held Versailles standout running
back Collin Peters to negative 10 yards on his
first four carries of the game, forcing Versailles
and Peters — who ran for 221 yards the week
before against Miami East — to punt on its first
two offensive possessions.
While Peters finished the game with 151
yards rushing, much of it came when Versailles
was already trailing by multiple possessions.
“We stopped the run and won first down,”
Stokes said. “We put them in second and long
and third long and if we did that we felt like
we’d be alright.”
The back half of the Minster defense did its
part, too. Minster intercepted four Jared Nieka-
mp passes — including three in an eight-minute
span of the third quarter that saw Minster extend its lead to 45-7. Jared Thobe had two picks.
Standing on the pristine field turf at the center of Piqua’s jewel of a football facility, Stokes
pointed to his defense coordinator Bret Buchanan.
“We have a 21-year old defensive coordinator,” Stokes said. “He’s 21 freaking years old and
doing a great job. I don’t think to many teams
can say that. I’m really proud of what’s taking
place.”
Minster quarterback Josh NIxon and his talented receiving weapons again made big plays
down the field in the passing game. Nixon went
15-for-27 for 283 yards and three touchdowns
to go with two rushing scores. Eli Wolf caught
six passes for 105 yards and a touchdown. Bryce
Schmiesing had four catches for 98 yards and a
touchdown. Jacob Dues caught four passes for
77 yards and a TD.
Minster also used the balanced rushing attack of Sam Dues (11 carries, 52 yards and a
touchdown) and Evan Huelsman (eight carries,

Meanwhile, as a majority of people look at
inclement weather as a
challenge, outdoorsmen
seem to take it as an inconvenience. For example, fishing has been
excellent at all of the
canal lakes this fall. St.
Marys is producing a lot
of big crappies, and the
walleye and saugeye have
been stacked below the
spillway on the west side.
Indian Lake has been
producing a lot of pan
fish and limits of keeper
saugeye are being caught
once the small ones are
weeded out. Lake Loramie’s crappie fishing is improving and some saugeye are also being picked
up. Hardcore fishermen
aren’t worried about the
weather. Instead, they
dress for it and go about
their business. Catching
fish is more important
than being forced inside
by an early cold spell, and
I don’t know of many outdoorsmen who tremble
when they’re attacked by
the polar vortex.
I’ve heard some waterfowl hunters complain that these current
cold temperatures will
freeze the channels and
backwaters ending their
season early like it did
last year. There might
be a skim of ice here and
there this week, but the
weather forecasters are
calling for low temperatures in the 40s when the
season opens again on
November 22. Chances
are that this cold blast
isn’t going to be permanent. Besides, snow and
cold temperatures north
of here should help move
waterfowl in this direction. Aerial surveys conducted by the Division of
Wildlife show big jumps
in waterfowl a week ago
and that should continue.
Having birds to hunt depends on many factors.
Weather moves birds and
weather
concentrates
birds. It would seem
that this early cold blast
might actually be a good
thing in the long run for
waterfowl hunters.
The bottom line is
that weather can be challenging, and there will
always be extremes. Personally, winter weather
doesn’t particularly worry me. I don’t like the

cold and the snow, but I
can deal with it. I’m actually more concerned
during spring and summer when a severe storm
can potentially explode
my house into a million
pieces with me in it. The
bottom line is that I’ll listen to weather guys like
Kyle Adams who are going to give me a forecast
and call it a day. Besides,
Adams has a degree in
atmospheric
science
from Ohio State. I like
Al Roker, too, but he’s
more of an entertainer
than a weather guy. If
not, why would he beat
himself to death breaking a Guinness record
for the longest weather
forecast…34 consecutive hours? He’s a million-dollar weather presenter and a good one. I
don’t know his weather
credentials, but if he
had a science degree, I’d
probably pay a little more
attention to what he was
offering. Besides, I don’t
particularly like it when
he says, “And now, let’s
see what’s happening in
your neck of the woods.”
You never know who he’s

Spencerville bows out of playoffs
LIMA — Spencerville’s dream season came
to an end on Friday night
at Spartan Stadium with
a 37-0 loss to the Tinora
Rams.
A week after earning
the program’s first-ever
playoff win, five turnovers
plagued the Bearcats.
Spencerville lost four
fumbles and had a pass
intercepted.
Tinora rolled up 352
yards of total offense
Wapak

Friday, as the run-oriented
Red Devils tried to catch
up.
“It was huge,” Moyer
said about the pick-six.
“That’s a momentum
swing. It got them in a
situation where they had
to start throwing the ball
a little bit. That’s not their
strength. That helped us.
Any time you get a momentum swing play in the
playoffs it’s critical.”
Tippecanoe advanced
past midfield on each of its
next two possessions before turning the ball over
on downs both times. Wapakoneta, however, squandered the two ensuing
possessions with a turnover on downs itself and a
lost fumble.
On a 2nd and 2 from
the Redskins 26, Clack
picked up first down yardage but lost a fumble at the
very end of the play, with
Landon Hall on the recovery — ruining Tippecanoe’s chance to reduce its
deficit.
The turnover was costly, as four plays into Wapa-
koneta’s next possession,
Keaton Metz broke loose
behind the Red Devils’ defense for 79-yard TD run,
effectively clinching the
Redskins’ bid for a regional final appearance at 2:09
left in the game.
Before Metz’s TD run,
five Redskin ball carriers
were averaging 40 yards
each against the Red Devils’ defense. The 79-yard
gain put Wapakoneta’s
rushing total at 279 for the
night.
With four punts, two
turnovers and two turnovers on down, Tippecanoe posted a season-low 7
points Friday.
Krall, the Red Devils’
top playmaker totaled 93
yards of offense, managing
66 yards on 16 carries, a
few of them attempted after receiving a direct shotgun snap.
“We had not seen that,”
Moyer said. “He’s one of
their better players. They
were going to do whatever
they can to give him the
ball.”
Wapakoneta scored a
TD on each of its initial
possessions of both halves.
After establishing a 7-0
lead, Tippecanoe held a
7-0 advantage to finish
the first half. When the
Redskins retook the lead
at 14-7 in the second half,
they added 14 more unanswered points to end the
game.
Wapakoneta produced
a picture-perfect scoring
drive to open the game.
The Redskins used 15
plays and 8 minutes, 10
seconds, of the first quarter clock to take the lead
right away.
Wapakoneta picked up
four first downs and converted a 4th and 1 on a
Kodi Morgan QB sneak.
Adam Henderson capped
the drive with a 11-yard
touchdown run.
Wapakoneta allowed
one first down on each of
Tippecanoe’s first two offensive series, but the Redskins hurt themselves with
one personal foul penalty
on each of their two ensuing possessions, both resulting in punts.
After the Redskins’ second punt — which netted
only 19 yards — Tippecanoe assumed possession
with 4:01 left before halftime at the Wapakoneta
38-yard line.
The Red Devils were set
up with 1st and goal from
the Redskins’ 4 after a 13-
yard completion to Prall
from Blair.
After two runs plays
and timeouts after each attempt, Tippecanoe found
the scoreboard on a 1-yard
run by Clack.
The Red Devils’ momentum
effectively
stopped there before Wapakoneta scored 21 unanswered to post their school
record 12th win.
The Redskins will
meet the TrotwoodMadison Rams at 7:30
p.m. Friday in the regional final at a site to be
announced Sunday.
T-M
has
rolled
through its first two
playoff games, winning
by a combined score of
96-19.
“They’re as good as
advertised,” Moyer said.
“We’ll have a huge challenge, but I know we’re
there. We have an opportunity. We’ve talked
about
opportunities
with this group a lot. “
The two schools met
in 2011 in a Division II,
Region 8 semifinal at Piqua, with the Rams notching a 27-6 win en route to
a state title and undefeated
season.

half for Minster’s second

season. Minster won the
Week 5 match-up 34-19.
That one saw Minster

only to watch Versailles

Friday night had no such
drama.
“We were a little worried about the kids getting back up for this one
emotionally, especially
after we had already
beaten them,” Stokes

finish the game the way
we did, that was huge.”

To
Your
Good
Health
Lending a hand
Dear
Abby
Abigail Van
Buren
Dr. Keith Roach,
M.D.
DEAR
DR.
ROACH: For quite
some time now, I
have been suffering
from a persistent urinary tract infection,
accompanied by an
elevated PSA. This
resulted in a biopsy,
which was positive for
early-stage cancer of
the prostate gland. My
urologist recommended a radical prostatectomy. Because of
the high probability
of impotence and incontinence associated
with this procedure,
I declined in favor of
vigilance over the progression of the cancer.
My doctor said that
this was “reasonable”
but it would be insufficient to address my
UTI.
Since he explained
that continuing on
antibiotics is not an
option, he started me
on a regimen of selfcatheterization,
to
be done four times
per day (in addition,
I normally void every two hours). He is
not the sort of fellow
who invites discussion, and certainly
not disagreement. I
began the regimen
but did it only three
times per day. The
results were great: no
infection, felt better
off the antibiotics and
sexual function was
excellent. The first
time in the morning,
I had 250 cc left after
voiding, but after that
100-150 cc.
Here is my question. I want to reduce
the catheterizations
to twice per day, but
I am afraid of re-introducing the UTI.
In your opinion, will
twice per day meet
my needs? -- O.A.
ANSWER:
In
men with an enlarged
prostate,
whether
from benign enlargement or from cancer,
the bladder sometimes is unable to
empty all of the urine.
This prevents a major
defense action of the
body against urine
infections, which is
to continually drain
the bladder and any
bacteria that may be
present. With leftover,
“stale” urine, the risk
becomes much higher, so your doctor has
taken an uncommon
but well-known step
of getting you to remove the urine by
self-catheterization.
The more often
you self-catheterize,
the more effective the
technique is; however,
there is no clear answer to how often you
need to do it.
If the volume of
urine leftover after
voiding is high (near
500 cc), then you
should be performing
a self-void more frequently. Twice daily
may be a reasonable
amount for you. That
may be totally inadequate for someone
else.
However, I am concerned that you don’t
feel comfortable talking to your urologist
about this. He has to
know what it is you
are doing, since only
he knows your anatomy.

DEAR
ABBY:
Thanksgiving is fast approaching and I would
like to share some advice with your readers
from someone who has
volunteered in shelters
for many years.
1. Please do NOT
volunteer on Thanksgiving. It’s the day most
people volunteer, and
there are always more
volunteers than homeless people.
2. If you want to
make donations, please
drop them off a few
days before or a few
days after. It will allow
the shelter time to store
all the donations and
to take an inventory of
what is still needed.
3. Shelters need not
only food, but also
paper goods such as
plates, napkins, toilet
paper and plastic utensils.
4. Because refrigerator space is limited,
don’t bring anything
that must be refrigerated.
5. Most shelters pay
rent, water, electric
and telephone bills and
lease office equipment,
etc. A check or cash
donation is ideal. It’s
also tax deductible.
If in doubt, call
ahead (at least a week in
advance) and ask what
is needed. — YEARROUND VOLUNTEER
DEAR VOLUNTEER: Kudos to you
for so generously giving your time to help
others who are in need.
I’m sure my readers
will appreciate your insight. Planning ahead
and knowing what is
needed make perfect
sense.
DEAR ABBY: I’m
writing you on behalf
of a friend. No matter
where her husband is -at home, at a friend’s,
walking into a store or
walking around town
-- he’s always dropping
his pants to tuck in
his shirt. One of these
days someone is going
to think he’s flashing
and have him arrested.
His wife is afraid it will
happen.
My friend has
made comments to
him about it, but he
still continues. Please
give me some advice
because someone else
may have the same
problem, and it may
save another family
from this embarrassment. -- A FRIEND
IN ST. PAUL
DEAR FRIEND:
Your friend’s concerns
are legitimate. A man
dropping his pants in
a public place is, to
say the least, attentiongetting. If his concern
is really that his shirts
creep up, suggest that
your friend talk to a
tailor -- many cleaners have them in their
shops -- about how to
prevent the problem
from happening. During a Minnesota winter, she could save him
from catching pneumonia from the bottom up.

HELOISE’S HOT COCOA
Dear Heloise: I can’t find your
recipe for HELOISE’S HOT
COCOA MIX. Cold weather is
here where I live, and I’m
ready to make up a big batch.
-- K.C. in North Dakota
Never fear, the cocoa mix is
here! Boy, a big mug of hot
cocoa on a cold day is just
the yummiest treat! Here is
what you need:
1 cup of powdered sugar
1/4 cup of cocoa
A dash of salt
2 cups of powdered milk
Mix the ingredients and put it
in a nice container, or even a
zip-top bag for easy travel,
and add the date made.
When ready for a warm treat,
put about 4 tablespoons
(more or less, to your taste)
into a cup and then add 8
ounces of boiling water. Top
with some mini marshmallows or a dollop of whipped
cream and you’re set! Want
to know more of my all-time
favorite recipes (including
some old family ones)? Order
my pamphlet and get them
all! Please send $5 and a

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18)
Things might be stalled in the water this
morning, but the afternoon is quite productive, even pleasantly so. Plan your day
accordingly for the best success.
As this day wears on, it will become better
for business and commerce. The morning,
however, is dicey. Postpone money decisions until late afternoon.
Travel for pleasure or a chance to escape
somewhere different appeals to you today.
At the very least, be a tourist in your own
town.
TAURUS (April 20 to May 20)
LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22)
Start this day gently, and don’t expect too
much of yourself in the morning. By the
afternoon, you get into the rhythm of
things and will be productive. A female coworker might help.
Later today, the Moon moves into your
sign, making you diplomatic and charming.
As for the morning, sleep in if you can.
GEMINI (May 21 to June 20)
This is a playful day, and you might want to
play hooky, especially this morning. By the
afternoon, things get back on track, and
you are in control.
CANCER (June 21 to July 22)
You might enjoy being at home among
your own things. You feel the need for
privacy and a chance to cocoon. If not, it
still can be a pleasant day at work, especially this afternoon.
LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22)
Discussions with siblings, relatives and
neighbors will go well today. Wait until the
afternoon to agree to anything important or
to volunteer for anything.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21)
You have been out there flying your colors,
and it’s been exhausting. That’s why today,
if you can work alone or behind the scenes,
you will welcome this seclusion.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21)
A female colleague might have good advice
for you today that makes you think about
your future. This advice might help you to
look more attractive or present yourself in
a better light.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19)
Personal details about your private life
might be made public today, but not to
worry. Basically, whatever anybody learns
will make you look good in their eyes.
PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20)
Intimate relationships will be cozy and
warm today. Meanwhile, financial arrangements with others can benefit you today,
especially in the late afternoon.
YOU BORN TODAY You know how to bring
people together and also how to get the
best out of them. You have a strong moral
code and feel gratified in helping others.
Good news! This is a year of accumulation,
and perhaps one of the most powerful
years of your life. You will reap what you
have sown, because it’s a time of fruition
and a good time to buy and sell.

(MCT) — Can public health experts
tell that an infectious disease outbreak
is imminent simply by looking at what
people are searching for on Wikipedia?
Yes, at least in some cases.
Researchers from Los Alamos National Laboratory were able to make
extremely accurate forecasts about the
spread of dengue fever in Brazil and flu
in the U.S., Japan, Poland and Thailand
by examining three years’ worth of
Wikipedia search data. They also came
up with moderately successful predictions of tuberculosis outbreaks in Thailand and China, and of dengue fever’s
spread in Thailand.
However, their efforts to anticipate
cases of cholera, Ebola, HIV and plague
by extrapolating from search data left
much to be desired, according to a report published Thursday in the journal
PLOS Computational Biology. But the
researchers believe their general approach could still work if they use more
sophisticated statistics and a more inclusive data set.
Accurate data on the spread of infectious diseases can be culled from a variety of sources. Government agencies
typically get it from patient interviews
and laboratory test results. Other data
sources include calls to 911 lines, emergency room admissions and absences
from work or school.
The problem with these methods
is that they can be time-consuming
and costly. By the time the numbers
are crunched, an outbreak may be in
full swing. If you want to stop an outbreak before it starts—and if you want
to save lives and money, you certainly
do—what you need is a forecast that is
both accurate and timely. And so the
Los Alamos researchers turned to the
treasure trove that is Wikipedia.
In addition to the about 30 million
articles on topics ranging from quantum foam to the First English Civil
War to Kim Kardashian, Wikipedia
also collects data on the approximately
850 million search requests it gets each
day. In previous studies, researchers
have used this publicly available data to
predict ticket sales for new movies and
the movement of stock prices.
When it comes to health, people have
found correlations between interest
in certain health topics on Wikipedia
and sales of medications. Others have
linked searches for flu-related topics by
American Wikipedia users to actual flu
spread in the U.S.
Five members of the LANL’s Defense Systems and Analysis Division
thought they could do more. Their goal
was to get a read on current and future
trends not just for flu in the U.S. but
for several diseases in several countries. Ideally, they hoped to come up
with a model that could be “trained”
with data from a place where it’s available and then applied to another place
where it wasn’t.
The researchers decided to focus on
seven diseases (cholera, dengue fever,
Ebola, HIV/AIDS, influenza, plague
and tuberculosis) in nine countries
(Brazil, China, Haiti, Japan, Norway,
Poland, Thailand, Uganda and the
U.S.). They mixed and matched to get
models for 14 “location-disease contexts.”
The researchers collected publicly
available data on Wikipedia searches
between March 2010 and February
2014. They zeroed in on articles related to the seven diseases and calculated what fraction of all searches in
any given hour were for these articles.
The search data didn’t indicate where
searches were done, so the researchers used search language as a proxy for
country.
Then they used official disease incidence reports to see whether the patterns of searches predicted current and
future disease spread in real life.
Their models had predictive value
for eight of their 14 location-disease
combinations, as measured by a statistic called r-squared that is measured on
a scale of 0 to 1 (the closer the value is
to 1, the better the correlation between
the model’s data and real-life data). For
instance, when it came to predicting
the spread of the flu in Japan seven days
in the future, the Wikipedia searches
scored an r-squared of 0.92. For forecasting cases of dengue fever in Brazil
two weeks out, the r-squared was 0.77,
and for TB cases in Thailand a month
in the future, the r-squared was 0.69.
