As high school students gaze into theirfutures contemplating what direction to go

with a college career, admissions officersare pouring over submitted applications andweighing the attributes each potential under-graduate will bring to the campus community.

The Ohio State Universitys Lima CampusAssociate Director of Enrollment ServicesBryan M. Albright said a students academicrating is very important. The academic ratinglooks at issues like what the students GPAis, what classes they took for that GPA, howcompetitive their high school is and their testscores.

We hold our academic standards high,Albright detailed. The courses taught on ourcampus are the same courses taught on theColumbus campus and our faculty are partof their respective departments in Columbus.Each are held to the same high standards asColumbus faculty.

He said students choose to attend OhioState-Lima for three main reasons; afford-ability, a strong academic reputation and thecampus location close to home for manystudents.

The US News and World Report has usranked first in Ohio and 16th nationwideacademically among public universities and

colleges, Albright said proudly.Bowling Green State University (BGSU)

Interim Director Cecilia Castellano says thatthe colleges general admission requirementsare a cumulative GPA of 2.5 and ACT scoreof 20.

We look at the entire academic record,she detailed. The fall 2013 class has an aver-age GPA of 3.31 and 22.6 ACT score.

Schools look for students who have chal-lenged themselves and expressed a passionfor learning.

We review both the GPA and test scores,as well as academic curriculum and classrank, Castellano emphasized. A studentshigh school grades are very important factors,also.

Albright explained that The Ohio StateUniversity at Lima holds to the tradition ofOpen Enrollment and any Ohio resident whohas graduated from high school or earneda GED and not attended any other post-secondary school will be admitted.

Castellano said review of high schooltranscripts of students taking rigorous course-

work and challenging Advanced Placement(AP) and International Baccalaureate (IB)shows many of these courses provide weight-ed grades in the cumulative GPA. In addition,students that complete an IB diploma are eli-gible for a scholarship at BGSU.

In honor of all veterans,past and present, I wouldlike to devote this columnto a few of the organizationswhose purpose it is to thank,remember and aid veteransand their families.

Why do we have to havewar? Its so sad when wehave to send our men andwomen off to war. Maybeif more of our leaders orpoliticians had to be on thefront lines of battle, theywould think a little harderbefore they send our menand women off to battle.

We all know we wouldstill be ruled by Englandif those Patriots had not

fought the RevolutionaryWar. Then there was theWar of 1812, which wasreally a continuation ofour War for Independence.Many of us had ancestorsin the Civil War. Then there

was the war to end allwars and the war to keepHitler from taking controlof the whole world. Thencame Pearl Harbor. Sincethen, we had Korea andVietnam and all those otherwars in the Middle East.I have a grandson in theAir Force and a nephew inthe Army over there in oneof those fighting countries.Another grandson served

four years in the U. S. Navyaboard the submarine, TheUSS Toledo. With all theyhave to do and see, its nowonder many veterans suf-fer the post traumatic stresssyndrome.

Nov. 11 is the officialdate to remember our vet-erans but we need to sayThanks! to them moreoften.

The American Huey 369Organization was formedfor the specific purpose ofpreservation, education andpaying tribute to ALL vet-

erans/patriots. Vietnam vet-erans have a special placein the hearts of many mem-bers.

Last year, the AmericanHuey 369 was brought toFort Jennings to help cel-ebrate the Bicentennial. Bypopular demand the Hueyreturned in 2013 for FortFest. Many of you flewin the Huey or a memberof your family did. Someof you might say Whatis the Huey? Its one ofthe helicopters that flew inVietnam.

The American Huey369 Organization is based

in Peru, Ind., where theyhold an annual reunion ofmembers. Brothers, Johnand Dave Walker are co-founders of the Huey 369Organization. John is a vet-eran, who flew a helicop-ter in Vietnam. He saw anad in a paper or magazinethat a Huey was for salein Bangor, Maine. The twobrothers drove to Maine andhauled it home. Since that

time they have acquiredanother Huey and havebuilt a temporary museumin Peru. The organizationhas grown to over 3,000members and they are in theprocess of building a largermuseum, which will housethe history of the use ofthe Bell Helicopters whichwere used by all branches ofthe service.

You can become a mem-ber of the organization for$100, which entitles themembers to have a ride inthe Huey.

They started their muse-um in 2005 and reallybelieve that God has calledthem to do this because therides in the Warbird andthe camaraderie with otherveterans helps vets to expe-rience healing from theexperiences they had whileserving in the war or wars.You can visit their websiteat www.americanhuey369.com or by calling JohnWalker at 765-469-2727 orcall Jim Dickman at 419-692-2236.

How many of you had theprivilege to visit The Eyesof Freedom when it was on

display at the fire station inFort Jennings? If you havenot seen it, it will return toFort Jennings in 2014. It isa very touching and impres-sive display of paintings. Itconsists of eight paintingsof 23 fallen Marines fromthe Lima Company, out ofColumbus.

The Eyes of Freedomwas created by an Ohioartist, Anita Miller, after

she heard of the tragedy ofthese men losing their lives.Between May and August of2005, 22 Marines and oneNavy Corpsman of the LimaCompany, 3rd Battalion,25th Regiment, died inthe service of their coun-try while deployed to Iraq.Though the Marine ReserveUnit was mostly from Ohio,these fallen heroes representseven states from Alaska tothe East Coast.

Miller had a career asa Clinical Medical SupportHypnotherapist where she

could further her interest inhelping people utilize theirmind-body connection forhealing. She began draw-ing and painting aroundthe age of 30 and had alittle studio, Artists Roost inWesterville. After she heardof The Lima Company, shehad a dream in which shesaw the finished product,the memorial paintings inthe Rotunda of the OhioState Capitol, and felt shewas being called to createit. With the help of familiesof the fallen or survivorsof the L3/25, she createdand unveiled it in the State

House Rotunda in 2008,as her vision had foretold.Mike Strahle, after retiringfrom Lima Company, sawthe display and knew he hadwitnessed something specialas he viewed this memorial.Three years later he contact-ed the artist and requestedher to share her memorialpaintings with the rest ofthe world. Mike had beenseverely injured while fight-

ing along with those fellowMarines. A friend of theartist, Liz Branender cre-ated a not-for-profit organi-zation, The Lima CompanyMemorial, which helps take

the memorial on tour acrossthe country. The mensspirits live on through thismemorial and their eyes tellsuch a story. This is a mustsee when it returns to FortJennings. For more infor-mation, call Kurly Burgei at419-286-2974.

Randy Gasser, US NavyRetired, introduced us andprospective employers toESGR, Employer Supportof the Guard and Reserves.Randy is the lesionbetween The Universityof Northwestern Ohio andthe military to help vet-erans and their families

attending the University.The Mission of the ESGRis to have employers signthe Statement of Supportin regard to their employ-ees who are members ofthe National Guard or theReserves and need to go totheir training on week-endsor annually and still havetheir jobs when they return.Some men get deployed andserve for longer periods oftime and need to have nofear of losing their jobs,while they are away servingtheir country. The organi-zation also advocates thehiring of the members of

the Reserves or NationalGuard and also veteranswho need employment afterserving their country. Thesemen and women makegood employees becausethey have learned to beon time, are physically fit,understand diversity, areloyal and have a can-doattitude. They have beenthrough it and have seeneverything so sometimesthey have a problem withthe Post Traumatic StressSyndrome. They need spe-cial understanding.

the website, www.esgr.milor phone 1-800-336-4590 orcall Gasser at UNOH. Theemployees are required togive notice to their employ-er when they know of pend-ing service.

The specialty plates generallycost $15 to $25 more than a stan-dard one. Specialty plate sales gen-erated $3 million last year for uni-versity scholarship funds, researchefforts, childrens sports leagues,foundations, counseling programsand more. State records showed

they generated $2.6 million in feesfor the motor vehicles bureau.

Some specialty plates do not gen-erate revenue for outside organiza-tions. For example, no one profitedfrom the sale of 10,242 One NationUnder God plates issued last year.

Some of the tags require member-ship or licenses, such as the RealtorSold on Ohio plate or the CivilAir Patrol or Amateur Radio plates.Others are reserved for militaryservice members and their families.

Ohio has 8.9 million licenseddrivers and 11.8 million registeredvehicles. All license plates are madeby inmates at Lebanon CorrectionalInstitution. Prisoners there makeabout 172,200 plates a year.

Jury convicts husbandin hospital shooting

AKRON (AP) An Ohio man who said he fatally shot hishospitalized wife out of love because of her debilitated conditionthat left her unable to speak, was convicted by a jury on Fridayand could face life in prison.

Police say John Wise, 68, calmly walked into Barbara Wiseshospital room on Aug. 4, 2012, and shot her at her bedside. Shedied the next day.

Barbara Wise, 65, was in the intensive care unit at AkronGeneral Medical Center after suffering triple cerebral aneurysmsthat had left her unable to speak, a family friend has said.

Wise testified that he couldnt stand to see his wife of 45 yearsin pain in the hospital.

She opened her eyes and looked at me like she was in painand a tear rolled down her cheek, Wise told the jury this week. Idecided then what I was going to do.

Hours later he returned to the hospital with a gun.My recollection is that I walked in there, and within two min-

utes, I kissed her on the cheek and shot her, he said.Mercy is not a defense to a murder charge in Ohio. However,

defense attorney Paul Adamson said in closing arguments Fridaythat Wise acted out of love.

He was not there out of hate. He fully believed he was doingthe right thing, not the wrong thing, Adamson told jurors.

Summit County Assistant Prosecutor Brian LoPrinzi saidWises attorneys were asking jurors to decide the case on mercy.

They are asking you to ignore the law and find him notguilty, LoPrinzi said.

After the verdict, LoPrinzi said Wise declined an offer of areduced charge of manslaughter, which would have carried a max-imum 14-year sentence. Wise will have to serve a minimum of 23years, LoPrinzi said. Hes scheduled to be sentenced on Nov. 18.

If youve been on Facebook the lastcouple of days, youve seen the posts ofwhat people are thankful for. During themonth of November, you are supposed tosay something you are thankful for eachday, not just on Thanksgiving. Im threedays behind so I better get busy and catchup.

Day 1: I am thankful for my wonderfulhusband. He drives me mad, makes melaugh, makes me smile and makes it worthcoming home every day after work. We areenjoying each others company and work-ing on some small improvements aroundthe house. It feels good.

Days 2: I am thankful for the rest of myfamily from the top on down to the littleguy, Ringo.

Day 3: I am thankful for all I have. Thistime of year really makes you take stock ofwhat you have and what you may think youneed but dont. We never truly appreciatewhat we have until we realize how muchwe have compared to others.

Day 4: I am thankful for all my wonder-ful friends. To know crazy is to love crazy.

Day 5: I am thankful the fall seasonis upon us. Aaaaah. The crispness of themorning air. The crunch of leaves under-foot.

The only problem is now comes the pre-winter cleanup. The bushes need trimmedor the Christmas lights will look funny.The flower beds need weeded and every-thing cut back. Who knows, with the weird

weather weve been having, we might haveto mow one more time.

Day 6: I am thankful I am healthy andfeel pretty good most of the time.

Day 7: I am thankful for my co-workerswho make each and every day worth get-ting up and coming in to work.

Day 8: I am thankful for my job (that Ihave one and I truly enjoy it).Day 9: I am thankful for my husbands

job. It takes two, baby.Im just going to go ahead and do

Sunday and Monday, too. Why not. Imon a roll.

Day 10: I am thankful I can now wearmy layers. I love layers.

Day 11: I am thankful its snuggleweather!

Try it for the month and see what allyoure thankful for. You dont have to logon to Facebook to make a list. Its just asgood if its sitting on the counter or thetable. It just matters that youve thoughtabout it and perhaps shared a few withsomeone else.

BY U.S. SENATOR

SHERROD BROWN

Ohios heroes who fought forour country shouldnt have to fightfor a job when they return home.Unfortunately, many do. And itsnot right.

Recently, at the SuperJobs Centerin Cincinnati, I met MarianneLinardos, a Hamilton native and aNavy veteran who struggled to findfull-time employment after returningfrom serving our nation in the mili-tary. Following eight years of unsuc-cessful job searching, Linardos tookthings into her own hands quiteliterally. She made herself a sign that read, Hire Meand walked through the streets of her hometown, with thehopes that a potential employer would see the sign andoffer her an opportunity to prove that the skills she devel-

oped while serving could be translated into a civilian job.Unfortunately, Mariannes struggle to find work is not

unique. In fact, after spending a week traveling through-out Ohio, I met with veterans who spent months and insome cases like Mariannes years looking for workafter returning home to their communities.

Thats because in our state, the unemployment rateamong Iraq-Afghanistan era veterans is 13.9 percent almost twice Ohios unemployment rate. And the numberof veterans across the country receiving unemploymentbenefits has more than doubled since 2002.

Just as we invest in and train our servicemembers whilethey serve, we should continue to do so when they returnto their communities, hang up their uniforms, and embarkon the next phase of their lives.

Ive held many hearings across the state where we havediscussed how veterans could fill in the skills gap thatso many emerging industries are concerned about likeadvanced manufacturing. While the economy is beginning

to show signs of recovery, many industries are facing ashortage of qualified workers. Our veterans have technicaland leadership skills that easily translate to the workforce.Iraq-Afghanistan era veterans combine technical masterywith proven leadership skills that are extremely valuableto the workforce.

Thats why Im fighting to pass the Troop Talent Act of2013. This bill would ensure servicemembers are updatedthroughout their military careers about how their special-ized military training can lead to a credentialed or licensedjob back home . Our serv iceme mbers would get a headstart on their careers, easing their transition from militaryservice back to civilian life.

The Troop Talent Act would also expand governmentprograms that match veterans with credentialed positions

in high-growth occupations.Its also important to reward the businesses who put

our unemployed veterans back to work. Thats why I sup-port more funding for programs through the VOW to HireHeroes Act which gives businesses a tax break whenthey hire veterans.

Our servicemembers and veterans deserve our nationsfull support. They deserve elected officials who are will-ing to put partisan battles aside to ensure that returningveterans have jobs to ease their transition into civilian life.

In previous generations, Ohio veterans returned to theirhometowns and started small businesses or became fire-fighters, astronauts, factory workers, or police officers.Half a dozen became President of the United States. ForOhios returning veterans today, we have much work to doto ease their transition into civilian life. The Troop TalentAct of 2013 is a great first step. Putting veterans to workwill create the stronger economy and better communitieswe all want.

Among individuals, as among nations, respect for the rights of others is

peace. Benito Juarez, President of Mexico

Moderately confused

KATHLEEN PARKER

Point

of ViewNANCY SPENCER

On the

Other hand

Brown

A sorry state of affairsWASHINGTON

President Obama is nolip-biting, tear-streaking,

chin-trembling apologist.When he said he was

sorry for the health caremess-up in an interviewwith NBCs Chuck Todd,he performed the meaculpa as well as ifnot better than any-one in recent history. WithTrumanesque resolve, hemay as well have said,The devalued dollar stopshere.

Hes sorry that somepeople have been incon-venienced by HealthCare.govs computer disaster.Hes sorry that some peo-ple have lost the policies

he promised they couldkeep. Hes sorry thatthe Affordable Care Actwasnt adequately craft-ed.

But is he sorry that heintentionally misled peo-ple? I must have missedthat part. Heres what hesaid:

I am sorry that they[people] are finding them-selves in this situationbased on assurances theygot from me. Weve gotto work hard to make surethat they know we hearthem and that were goingto do everything we can

to deal with folks whofind themselves in a toughposition as a consequenceof this.

A well-delivered apol-ogy can often be enough toabsolve the misleader.Key to redemption, how-ever, is the sense that theapology is heartfelt andsincere. Most important,the apology must be spe-cific to the affront. In thiscase, the sin isnt the messbut the promise the WhiteHouse knew as early as2010 it couldnt keep.Harsher critics would callit the deliberate intent to

deceive.I tend to be generouswith benefits of doubt.Can I imagine a discus-sion in the White Housewherein speechwriters andadvisers told the president

that full disclosure of thenuts and bolts that mil-lions would lose policies,which werent that good tobegin with; that their rateswould go up so insurancecompanies could cover thepreviously uninsured would be too confusing?

Yes. I can imagine itbecause thats exactlywhat happened, accordingto former White House

speechwriter Jon Favreau.Moreover, the aides reck-oned, the next severalparagraphs that wouldbe required by the truthwould drag audiencesthrough weeds consid-ered too high for mostattention spans. Suchhubris puts one in mindof an exchange in WoodyAllens Manhattan:

This is an audiencethats raised on television,their standards have beensystematically loweredover the years. These guyssit in front of their setsand the gamma rays eat

the white cells of theirbrains out!

Given such thinking, thetruth was too much for TV.Not only would people beconfused, but the tea-par-ty crazies would re-enactthe summer of 2009 whentown-hall meetings turnedinto circuses of screechingmalcontents.

If theres one thingBarack Obama dislikesmore than schmoozingCongress, its having toexplain his brilliant ideasto mortals of lesser intelli-gence. Come to think of it,the latter may be viewed

as justifying the former at least from the presi-dents perspective. Thus,his advisers said, keepit simple for the stupids,though not necessarilywith that precise wording.

So they did. So sim-ple, in fact, that it wassimply wrong. Did they

really think no one wouldnotice when they receivedcancellation notices andtheir premiums suddenlydoubled?

The other rule of effec-tive apologies is that theymust come from authenticremorse rather than at thetip of a sword. Obamahad no choice once caughtand it was no longer pos-sible to deny reality.That reality was furtherenhanced when 16 SenateDemocrats, including 15who are up for re-elec-tion in 2014, stormed theWhite House barricades to

express their outrage tothe president.

Commenting after-ward, Sen. Mark Udallof Colorado sent out arelease saying he urgedthe president to extendthe enrollment period andensure that the ACA insur-ance exchange website issecure.

The White House issuedits own release, saying themeeting was to discussthe progress thats beenmade and hear theirinput on existing chal-lenges.

Well, thats one way of

putting it.Some consent to regret

is better than none, I sup-pose, but the ultimate testof an apology is wheth-er it results in restoredtrust. It isnt at all clearthat Obama accomplishedthis with his exclusive,one-on-one interview.A straight, detailed talkdirectly to the Americanpeople would seem a bet-ter bet for the longer run.

Detailing the overhaulof a sixth of the economymay not make good TV,but the American peopledeserve better than Sorry

about the mess.True contrition swellsall hearts.

OHIO DIVISION OF NATURAL RESOURCESDivision of Wildlife

Welcome to the Weekly Fish Ohio Fishing Report!INLAND LAKES AND RIVERSThese reports are updated April through October. The Lake Erie fishing

report is delivered weekly year-round.LAKE ERIERegulations to Remember:The daily bag limit for walleye on Ohio waters

of Lake Erie from March 1 through April 30 is 4 fish per angler with a 15 mini-mum size limit. The daily bag limit for yellow perch is 30 fish per angler onall Ohio waters of Lake Erie. The trout and salmon daily bag limit is 2 fishper angler; minimum size limit is 12. The black bass (largemouth and small-mouth bass) daily bag limit is 5 fish perangler with a 14 minimum size limit.

Lake-wideWalleyeWhere: Most walleye being caught

have come from around Kelleys Island;from Cedar Point to Lorain within 5 milesof shore; and in or around Cleveland har-bor at night.

How: Troll using deep-diving crankbaits such as Reef Runners or DeepHusky Jerks, fished in the middle portion of the water column or higher.

Yellow perchWhere: For some of the biggest perch of the year, try traditional fall spots

such as the green buoy off Catawba State Park; Green, Rattlesnake and Ballastislands; Kelleys Island shoal; east of Kelleys Island airport; between KelleysIsland and Lakeside; the Marblehead lighthouse; north of Cedar Point; the southend of the sandbar offshore between Vermilion and Lorain; and just off most of

the ports from Huron to Conneaut.How: Perch-spreaders with shiners, near the bottom.Smallmouth bassWhere: Bass start moving shallow to feed as water temperatures drop; try

fishing rocky areas along both island and mainland shorelines to find feedingsmallmouth bass. Areas with gizzard shad, shiners or gobies will be best.

How: Tube jigs, drop shots with goby imitations, crankbaits or jerkbaits.SteelheadsWhere: River conditions deteriorated as rain and gusty winds moved through

the area earlier this week. Streams are moderately to highly turbid but riverconditions should improve to fishable levels. Steelhead are moving upstream.Spin-fishing anglers have been using spoons, spinners, salmon or trout eggs, orsmall marabou jigs tipped with maggots under a bobber. Fly anglers have beenusing streamers, nymphs, wooly buggers and egg patterns.

Vermilion River: Fish from the Vermilion boat ramp upstream to MillHollow Park.

Rocky River: Fish from the Metroparks marina up to the Cedar Point Pools.Cuyahoga River: Fish in Cleveland Harbor up to the State Route 82 dam.Chagrin River: Fish from the soccer fields upstream to Daniels Park.Grand River: Fish from the Fairport and Mentor Headlands piers and the

harbor breakwalls up to Hidden Valley Metropark.Arcola Creek: Fish the river mouth, estuary and creek in the metropark.Ashtabula River: Fish from the breakwall, river mouth, and up to Indian

Trails Park.

Conneaut Creek: Fish from the breakwall and in the river up to the state line.The water temperature is 48 degrees off Toledo and 55 degrees off

Cleveland, according to the nearshore marine forecast. Anglers are encouragedto always wear a U.S. Coast Guard-approved personal flotation device whileboating.

Dressing for cold-weather boatingEveryone has stood in front of the closet at one time or another and

exclaimed, I dont know what I should wear today! Usually the worst outcomeis a good scolding from the fashion police. But when preparing for a day ofboating, not making the correct choice could be a life-threatening mistake.

Any outdoor activity in cool or colder weather conditions presents a risk ofhypothermia. That risk is greater while boating because water robs the bodysheat 25 times faster than air of the same temperature.

When preparing to boat, clothing choices go a long way towards keeping theexperience safe and pleasant. Each person is subject to hypothermia at a differentrate. Recognize your bodys thermal capabilities or inadequacies; consider the cur-rent air, water and wind-chill temperatures; and dress accordingly. This serves thedual purposes of comfort and safety. Being comfortable adds to any experience.

Fabrics that protect against exposure to cold air and water can be broken intotwo categories: insulating materials and protective materials.

Insulating materials are fabrics that trap the bodys heat. Layering severalgarments is not only more effective at retaining the heat but also more comfort-able, as items can be added or removed as needed.

Types of Insulating Fabrics:A variety of man-made and natural fabrics actas good insulators. Avoid 100 percent cotton garments, as they are most effec-tive at drawing heat away from the body. Start with thin layers of polypropyleneclose to the skin. Add fabrics that retain heat even when wet, such as wool orsynthetic fleece.

When boating in any water less than 70 degrees, a neoprene wetsuit shouldbe part of the layer system. Cold water and weather may also require a dry suit,which keeps the body dry with the exception of the head, hands and feet.

Types of Protective Layers:A good protection layer prevents the elementsfrom cooling the insulating layers.

There are a variety of products available that provide excellent wind andwater protection. Parkas, rain suits, paddling gear, and jackets made of nylon,Gore-tex and some of the new microfibers are ideal.

The final layer for any cold-weather water activity should be a life jacket.The immediate risk of falling into the water is drowning after becoming disori-ented from the shock of the cold water. In addition to providing vital buoyancy,a life jacket also serves as a good insulator. In fact, several styles of coats areCoast-Guard-approved devices that have built in flotation.

Remember that each boating outing presents a different combination ofweather and water conditions. Choosing your attire wisely helps make any out-ing a pleasantly memorable experience.

Life Jackets: Knowing the facts about the different types of life jackets (alsoreferred to as PFDs Personal Flotation Devices) can help you decide which

are appropriate for you. ODNR strongly encourages all boaters to wear lifejackets, whether or not the law requires it.

Ohio law REQUIRES life jackets to be worn while riding a personalwatercraft; while waterskiing or being towed on a similar device; for childrenless than 10 years of age on any vessel less than 18 feet in length.

It is particularly important to wear a life jacket in the following situations:When the boater cannot swim or is a weak swimmer; When boating alone; Whenthe water is dangerously cold (the months of October through May in Ohio);During rough water/waves and severe weather conditions; When boating atnight; In emergency situations; In swift and fast current situations.

Life jackets fall into five different categories, each with different featuresthat serve a variety of needs.

Type I - Offshore Life Jacket: Designed for extended survival in large, roughwaters where rescue may be slow in coming, this life jacket is required on com-mercial craft. This type can turn an unconscious person to a vertical or slightlybackward position. Unless its inflatable, this life jacket tends to be bulky anduncomfortable in warm weather.

Chudzinski has Brownsbelieving they can win

By TOM WITHERSAssociated Press

CLEVELAND Shortlyafter he was hired as a rookie NFLcoach, Rob Chudzinski lookedBrowns linebacker DDqwellJackson in the eyes.

In laying out plans for hisfirst season, Chudzinski promisedJackson his team would attack on offense and defense. Hevowed the Browns would takechances in the kicking game and

not be afraid to go for it on fourthdowns. He assured Jackson, oneof Clevelands most respectedveterans and a captain,things were going tochange.

The Browns, peren-nial losers, would bedifferent. They wouldwin. As long as theyfollowed his plan.

Everything, Jackson said,has held true.

Under Chudzinskis steadyinghand, the Browns, kicked around

and mostly ignored for years,reached the bye week lookingand feeling like a different team.

At 4-5, theyre one win frommatching last seasons total andfor the first time since 2007,legions of suffering Clevelandfans are talking about next weeksgame in Cincinnati not nextAprils draft.

Two weeks ago, the Brownstook the unbeaten Kansas CityChiefs down to the wire beforelosing on the road. Last Sunday,

they ended an 11-game losingstreak to the Baltimore Ravens.Not only did the Browns beat

the defending SuperBowl championsbut the AFC Northskid brother asChudzinski calledhis team, stood upand returned everyextra shove and

forearm shiver the Ravens threwat them.

Bengals still measure successby showing vs Ravens

By DAVID GINSBURGAssociated Press

BALTIMORE (AP) TheCincinnati Bengals have long admiredand respected the success of theBaltimore Ravens, their accomplishedrival in the AFC North.

That feeling hasnt changed, eventhough the defending Super Bowlchampion Ravens bring a 3-5 recordinto Sundays matchup against the first-place Bengals.

Cincinnati (6-3) has far outshined Baltimore this season, yetthe Bengals still believe the true test of how far theyve come will

be determined by how they fare against the desperate Ravens.I always use the Baltimore Ravens as a measuring stick, said

Cincinnati coach Marvin Lewis, who earned a Super Bowl ring in2001 as Baltimores defensive coordinator.

Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton has thrown four intercep-tions and only two touchdown passes in four career games againstthe Ravens. Although the Baltimore defense has changed dramati-cally since that Super Bowl victory last February, Dalton knowshe must be at his best on Sunday at a stadium where Cincinnatihasnt won since 2009.

The Ravens have been one of the best teams in this divisionfor a while, Dalton said. Anytime you can go against teams liketheyve had, you see where youre at and see what kind of teamthat youve got. We dont expect anything less this year.

Ada gets best of Jefferson once moreBy JIM METCALFE

Staff [email protected]

DELPHOS Ada needed a score with45 seconds left in the fourth period to beatJefferson 25-20 in week 9 of the regular seasonat Stadium Park.

Friday night in Region 22 quarterfinal actionback at Stadium Park matching up thesesame teams the Bulldogs (seeded seventh didnt need quite the same heroics, at least aslate as the first time.

A 100-yard interception return by Ada seniorsafety Matt Wilcox with 3:12 left gave theBulldogs enough cushion to hold off a lateWildcat surge and emerge with a 27-22 victoryand move on in the tournament with a 8-3 mark.

With Ada leading 22-16 with 7:33 to goin the contest, the Wildcats behind seniorquarterback Austin Jettinghoff (21-of-35 pass-ing, 313 yards; connecting with 7 differentreceivers) marched from their own 11 to a

4th-and-4 at the Ada 9 in 11 plays. Jettinghoffwas 5-of-9 on the series for 79 yards. However,on the fateful 12th play, he rolled left from theshotgun but his intended receiver slipped; theaerial bounced off his hands and into the wait-ing arms of Wilcox at the goal line. He tore offdown the sideline behind a convoy. He slippeda couple of tacklers and kept going, finishing inthe end zone 100 yards away with 3:12 left. The2-point pass failed as Ada led 27-16.

Thats what it came down to; we needed

to make a couple more plays. Ada did and theydeserve the credit; theyre a good team and itsucks someone had to lose tonight, Jefferson

coach Bub Lindeman said.After the final penalty of the night for the

Wildcats (10 for 93) on the kickoff, they had to

start at their 24. Jettinghoff was 6-of-7 on thedrive for all 76 yards. He connected with juniorJordan McCann (4 catches, 67 yards) threetimes for 30 yards, including the scoring play: a

13-yarder to the junior in the left side of the endzone where he outjumped the defender for theball. The 2-point pass failed as Jefferson trailed27-22 with 1:32 left.

The attempted onside kick went out ofbounds at the Ada 48. Jefferson with twotimeouts left needed a stop but a 12-yardWilcox run gave the visitors the game-clinchingfirst down.

We had way too many penalties; we reallyput ourselves behind the 8-ball with them,Lindeman continued. We also had way toomany turnovers to beat a team like Ada withthe way they can move the ball. We moved theball well; we just take advantage of the manychances we had.

Jefferson got on board first. After seniorTyler Mox ran back the opening kickoff 75yards to set up the Wildcats at the Ada 10,

the first of those 10 penalties set them backand forced a 25-yard field goal by junior KurtWollenhaupt for a 3-0 lead just 2:06 into thecontest.

Ada moved from its 35 to the Jefferson 16in five plays but a pair of sacks of Wilcox (bysenior Isaac Illig and McCann) and a 4-yardcompletion to Spencer Archer (5 grabs, 49yards) ended the drive on downs at the 16.

Jefferson senior Ross Thompson tries to slip past Ada defender Matt Wilcox duringaction in the teams Region 22 quarterfinal Friday at Stadium Park. Thompson caught 8passes for 146 yards but it wasnt enough as the host Wildcats fell 27-22. (Delphos Herald/Randy Shellenbarger)

These arent the same Browns, who have lost at least 11games in each of the past five seasons and are on their fourthcoach since 2008.

These Browns have some swagger and it starts at the top,from the man they call Chud.

An offensive coordinator in Cleveland and Carolina whosename didnt surface as a serious candidate until the Brownshired him, Chudzinski has been a revelation in his first stint asa head coach.

In the seasons first two months, Chudzinski has effectivelyand efficiently handled a number of dicey topics, includingwide receiver Josh Gordons 2-game drug suspension, majorinjuries, starting three quarterbacks, the stunning trade of run-ning back Trent Richardson and the uncertainty created by theongoing federal investigation involving Browns owner JimmyHaslam.

Hes such a good leader, said Pro Bowl tackle JoeThomas. Chud has found a way in his rookie season to be agood head coach. I think he probably has surpassed even myhigh expectations.


With a victory, Baltimorecan move within a game ofCincinnati in the loss column.A defeat would all but end theRavens chances of repeatingas division champs.

Were kind of in a cornerbut youre always in a cor-ner, coach John Harbaughsaid. How we handle it willbe whats remembered.

The Ravens are teeteringon the edge of a cliff. TheBengals are poised to givethem a hefty push.

This game is more impor-tant to them, Cincinnati lefttackle Andrew Whitworthsaid. We realize we have achance to go in and take con-trol of our division.

Five things to knowabout the Bengals-Ravensmatchup:

ATKINS OUT: TheBengals will play their firstfull game without standoutdefensive tackle Geno Atkins,who tore his right ACL ina loss to Miami on Oct. 31.

Geno is definitely the oneguy who has stood out forthem, Ravens quarterbackJoe Flacco said. Its a shamethat hes not going to be ableto be out there and Im surethat will affect them in someway. But theyve got a bunchof guys over there that canget after the quarterback.Brandon Thompson replacedAtkins against Miami and fin-ished with seven tackles.

RICE GROUNDED: TheRavens hope running backRay Rice returns to formagainst a team hes dominatedin the past. Rice has only 259yards rushing this season andis averaging a paltry 2.7 yardsper carry. But he averages 5.0yards per carry in 10 careergames against Cincinnati andhis eight rushing touchdownsare the most against anyteam. I still believe wellget the run game going,Rice said. We have the guys.Weve just seen some prettygood fronts and Ive battledthrough some stuff (includinga hip flexor injury) this year.

BrownsWildcats

Jays, Vikings readyfor playoff tussle

By JIM METCALFEStaff Writer

[email protected]

The St. Johns football team stood at 2-4 after week 6 andknew that for them to play in week 11, they couldnt affordto lose another game.

The Blue Jays did just that, arriving at tonights DivisionVII Region 26 quarterfinal matchup at top-seeded Leipsicwith a 6-4 mark (6-2 in the Midwest Athletic Conference).

No doubt, they are led by their 3-year starting quarter-back, Zac Kuhlman; he is a senior and plays like it. Youthink they would do it mostly through the air but when yousee they stats, they are even in both the run and the pass;Schulte explained. This is a very balanced offense that keepsyour defense on its toes. (Jordan) Chamberlin is an excellentback; he doesnt run with power at most hes 160 yards but hes more of a scat-back whos tough to bring down.Kuhlman also has two primary targets outside. Up front, theyhave good size on both sides of the ball.

Defensively, we have seen them in multiple front, whichis always a concern because you have to always be alert.Whatever they are in, they want to be aggressive, get intoyour backfield and disrupt. That makes it very important thatwe limit that penetration so we can establish our running

game; that is who we are and teams know that. Kuhlman isalso a very good player at safety.

The Blue Jay offense, averaging 23.6 points, 216.2 yardsrushing and 51 yards passing per game, will rely on tailbackTyler Jettinghoff (186 rushes, 1,040 yards, 20 touchdowns;6 catches, 55 yards), fullback Luke MacLennan (76 carries,581 yards, 6; 14 grabs, 243 yards, 2), quarterback Nick Martz(108 totes, 503 yards, 3; 38-of-98 passing, 491 yards, 2 TDs,9 picks), wideouts Evan Hays (6 grabs, 69 yards), AndyMay (5 for 82) and Ben Wrasman (5 for 15; 27-of-32 extrapoints, 1 field goal; 34 punts, 36.9-yard average) and linemenSpencer Ginter (13 pancake blocks) and Wes Buettner (5).

The Blue Jay defense, ceding 23.1 points, 198.7 yardsrushing and 152.7 yards passing, ispaced by linebackers Cody Looser(71 solo tackles, 42 assists) andAustin Heiing (48 and 27), sec-ondary mates Hays (42 and 28, 2picks) and Jordan Mohler (44 and

13), linebacker/safety Jettinghoff(29 and 19) and ends MacLennan(35 and 10) and Jason Wittler (19and 26).

We viewed the last four gamesas playoff games; it was do-or-die,so weve faced playoff pressuresince week 7. We had two barn-burners overtime at Versaillesand last week versus Minster inthose four games where we had to battle to the end; if its aclose game, I dont see us getting tight because we havent,Schulte added. Last week, we couldnt stop Minster the firsthalf but that was a different defensive team we had the secondhalf. We have been a defense that has given up yards but forus (tonight), the second key is not giving up the big play. Ifthey can drive the field on us in 12 plays, so be it; we need toadjust. But we need to make them earn their points.

Leipsic football coach Joe Kirkendall figures his team has

grown up over the course of 2013 as his Vikings compiled an8-2 mark, 6-2 in the Blanchard Valley Conference.

We had a young team at the beginning of this season;we had a lot of new faces that needed to get varsity gameexperience. We have five sophomores starting and sev-eral inexperienced juniors reallygetting their first varsity taste,he explained. Around week 4,against Arlington, we did notplay very well and we made somechanges in personnel and schemes,particularly on defense. We movedpeople around; we had defensivelinemen moving to linebacker andvice versa, for example, all in aneffort to get more speed on thefield. At the beginning of the year,we knew the defense was going tohave to come a long way because

thats where most of our losses tograduation were.

We made some changes on offense as well, though wehad more back there at the beginning. We figured out ourlimitations scheme-wise, what we do well and what we dont.That did the trick for us. I felt that put our players in betterpositions to succeed. Of course, we built the offense aroundour senior quarterback, Zac Kuhlman, and the rest of theoffense has gelled with him.

The Vikings have a symmetrical offense that averages33.6 points per game: 181.7 yards rushing and passing.Kuhlman leads the way (104-of-174 passing, 1,589 yards, 20scores, 8 picks) but gets plenty of help from scat-back JordanChamberlin (5-8, 155; 1,206 yards rushing 9.1 yards percarry - 26 TDs), sophomore receiver Nate Brecht (47 grabs,809 yards, 9 scores) and receiver Dylan Schey (17 grabs, 300yards, 3) operating behind a veteran and nice-sized offensiveline led by 6-5, 265-pound tackle Kyle Berger and 6-6, 271-pound center Gavin Cupp.

For the Purple and Gold defense, who gives up 20 points,115.9 yards rushing and 133.1yards passing an outing, is ledby Kuhlmans six picks out of ateam total of 16. As well, Schey(defensive back), Ryan Santana(linebacker) and Paul Gerdeman(line/linebacker) have also beenbellwethers for the defense.

Kuhlman also averages 31.1yards per punt.

Kirkendall is very familiar withthe Blue Jays, having faced themthree times in the previous fourseasons before tonights matchup.

He knows the particular prob-lems they present his Vikings.

They have a tremendous backfield with the tailback andfullback with a lot of size and speed, then with a quarterback

that is very shifty and runs the option well. They have as gooda backfield trio as weve seen, Kirkendall added. They alsoshow a lot of patience as runners. They also are very soundin what they do on both sides of the ball; they dont beatthemselves.

I feel that size-wise, its a good matchup. The only dif-ference is, their speed guys are bigger than ours. However,overall, we have some nice speed as well.

I think we can compete with them; weve shown in thepast that we can. What it comes down to is which players canhandle the atmosphere and environment; it will be intense.You would think that both teams have been in plenty of biggames but they are still 16 and 17. You have to stay poisedand composed; when you do that, you dont turn the ball over,you dont commit penalties, you dont make mistakes.

Kickoff is at 7 p.m. tonight.


The Wildcats who out-gained their foe 432-335,including 313-231 in theair appeared set to scoreagain, traveling from there tothe Ada 15 for a 1st-and-10in five plays helped byan Ada penalty (5 for 37).However, a crucial sack ofJettinghoff and fumble recov-ery by Luke Long-Green gavethe ball to Ada at the 28.

From there, it took thePurple and Gold seven playsto go in front. From theDelphos 30, Wilcox (22-of-28 passing, 231 yards; 5 dif-ferent receivers) threw downthe left hashmark t
