winners named

INFORMATION SUBMITTED
DELPHOS The results of the
third annual Betty Honigford Make
Christmas Bright Decorating Contest
have been announced. The family of Betty Honigford did not vote for
Peoples Choice or act as judges in any
category. Judges are varied from year to
year to guarantee fairness.
Peoples Choice Award was a very
close race this year. Three participants
were neck and neck and every participant
received a number of votes. The house

receiving the most votes was the Schulte
house, 12453 South Clay Road. The lane
leading to the house was marked with
a sign and lighted with bows and white
lights. The house has lights on the garage
and around a large tree trunk in the front
yard. It is worth the drive down the lane to
see the happily-decorated house.
First place went to the Gable house,
508 W. Second St. The judges liked the
simple elegance of the Gables decorations and its understated beauty. The
First place went to the Gable house, 508 W. Second St. The judges
liked the simple elegance of the Gables decorations and its understated beauty.
judges felt the decorations were befitting the architecture of the house and
had to look closely around all sides of
the house to make certain not to miss
any of the decorations. A real classic.
Second place was won by the
Deitering house, 6060 Defiance Trail.
The judges were impressed with the
sheer number of decorations in the
display. Although the house contained
many different components, the judges
felt the house had an overall unified
and neat appearance. Most of the judges
felt they needed to park in front of the
house to take in the grandeur of all the
decorations of this house. Many of the
decorations appeared homemade, which
the judges noted.
Third place went to the Larry
and Chris Wisher home, 1003 Park
Avenue. The judges felt very nostalgic
when viewing the decorations at this
house. They liked the consistency of
the house, the choice of light color and
the way the lights and other decorations
were coordinated. They liked that most
of the house was covered in lights and
yet the house had a very neat and pleasing appearance.
Judges Honorable Mention went to
the Heiing house, 501 E. Third St.
The judges felt the Heiing House was
deserving of mention for exemplifying
the special SPIRIT of Christmas. For
sheer volume of decorations, the Heiing
House was ranked very high. The judges
liked the extra efforts reflected in the
Heiing House, especially the station
wagon made to look like a woody
with contact paper. The Heiing house
reflected a sense of pure fun and holiday
joy.

WASHINGTON (AP)
President Barack Obamas
push to cover Americas uninsured faces another big test
today.
This time, its not only how
the website functions, but how
well the program itself works
for millions who are starting to
count on it.
Midnight Monday, Pacific
time is the deadline for new
customers to pick a health plan
that will take effect Jan. 1, and
for current enrollees to make
changes that could reduce premium increases ahead of the
new year.
HealthCare.gov and state
insurance websites are preparing for heavy online traffic before the deadline, which
gives consumers in the East
three hours into Tuesday to
enroll.
Wait times at the federal
call center started creeping up
around the middle of last week,
mainly due to a surge of current customers with questions
about their coverage for next
year. Many will face higher
premiums, although they could
ease the hit by shopping online
for a better deal. Counselors
reported hold times of 20 minutes or longer for the telephone
help line.
About 6.7 million people

now have coverage through
Obamas signature law, which
offers subsidized private insurance. The administration wants
to increase that to 9.1 million in
2015. To do that, the program
will have to keep most of its
current enrollees while signing
up more than 2 million new
paying customers.
People no longer can be
turned down because of health
problems, but picking insurance still is daunting for many
consumers. They also have to
navigate the process of applying for or updating federal subsidies, which can be complex
for certain people, including
immigrants. Many returning
customers are contending with
premium increases generally in
the mid-to-high single digits,
but much more in some cases.
Consumers understand its
complicated but they appreciate
the ability to get health insurance, said Elizabeth Colvin of
Foundation Communities, an
Austin, Texas, nonprofit that
is helping sign up low-income
residents. People who havent
gone through the process dont
understand how complicated
it is.

For The Record

Cancer patients testing drugs on mouse avatars
Associated Press
Scientists often test drugs in mice. Now some cancer
patients are doing the same with the hope of curing their
own disease.
They are paying a private lab to breed mice that carry bits
of their own tumors so treatments can be tried first on the customized rodents. The idea is to see which drugs might work
best on a specific persons specific cancer.
The mice may help patients make what can be very hard
choices under difficult circumstances. Studies can suggest a
certain chemotherapy may help, but patients wonder whether
it will work for them. Often theres more than one choice, and
if the first one fails, a patient may be too sick to try another. So
hundreds of people have made mouse avatars over the last
few years to test chemotherapies.
What Im doing is personalized cancer treatment. Its the
wave of the future, said Eileen Youtie, a Miami woman using
mice to guide care for her hard-to-treat form of breast cancer.
Part of this is trying to eliminate chemos that are not going
to work on me. I dont want to waste time taking them and
poison my body.
But there are no guarantees the mice will help.
Theres not a lot of science to say how well this works,
and it should be considered highly experimental, said Dr. Len
Lichtenfeld, deputy chief medical officer of the American
Cancer Society.
There are some early encouraging reports, he said. One
study of 70 patients found the mice generally reflected how well
patients responded to various drugs. But there is no evidence that
using mice is any better than care based on medical guidelines
or the gene tests that many patients get now to help pick drugs.
Mouse testing costs $10,000 or more, and insurers dont
cover it. It takes several months, so patients usually have to
start therapy before mouse results are in.
I do see promise, but its very time-consuming, its very
expensive. For the average patient, standard care is going to

be the way to go, said Alana Welm, a cancer researcher at
the Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation. She gave a talk
on mouse avatars last week at the San Antonio Breast Cancer
Symposium. It was the third major cancer meeting this year to
feature work on customized cancer mice.
Several labs breed these mice but the main supplier to
patients has been Champions Oncology, a company based in
Hackensack, New Jersey, that also operates in London, Tel
Aviv and Singapore. About 7,000 mice are kept in a Baltimore
lab with six rooms that resemble stock rooms of a shoe store,
with tall shelves that hold row upon row of plastic cages
labeled with each cancer patients name.
Most mice are white-haired females with beady red eyes,
but others are hairless. Some live alone while others climb
over one another and sleep in small piles. All have easy access
to food and water, and many bear signs of the tumor graft a
shaved portion of hair, an incision scar and a lump growing
off one side.
Patients have a tumor sample sent to Champions, which
charges $1,500 to bank it, plus $2,500 for each drug tested in
groups of mice implanted with bits of the tumor. Most patients
try three to five drugs and spend $10,000 to $12,000, said
Champions chief medical officer, Dr. Angela Davies.
Youtie spent $30,000 because I want them to test all the
possible drugs, even some for other types of cancer.
That approach helped Yaron Panov, a 59-year-old Toronto
man diagnosed four years ago with liposarcoma, a soft-tissue
cancer. No specific drugs were recommended, and I was
given six months to live, he said.
Tests on his avatar mice suggested the first drug he was prescribed would not work but that one for colon cancer might.
It was working on the mice so I knew it would work on
me, he said. Its such a boost of confidence and it makes
it easier to endure side effects, said Panov, whose cancer is in
remission.

Back-to-school tax holiday heads to governor
COLUMBUS (AP) Ohio back-to-school

shoppers would get a three-day reprieve from
Ohios sales tax under a bill headed to Gov. John
Kasichs desk.
The measure cleared the Republican-controlled
Ohio Legislature last week.
It exempts back-to-school clothing, school supplies and instructional materials from state sales tax
for three days in August 2015, creating the holiday
as a one-year pilot program.
Backers estimate the tax holiday would save
Ohio shoppers some $78 million. Opponents say
sales tax holidays are political and represent bad
tax policy.
A separate bill was introduced in March by
Democratic state Sen. Edna Brown. It proposes
exempting purchases of Energy Star qualified
products from sales tax during the first weekend in
April. With less than a week to go in the session,
its prognosis is dim.
During sponsor testimony this month, Brown
said her bill would encourage increased economic
activity, provide consumers with short and long
term savings, and reduce pollution and energy

consumption. Energy Star qualified products are
considered energy efficient.
The back-to-school tax bill, sponsored by state
Sen. Kevin Bacon, a Columbus Republican, first
cleared the Ohio Senate in February. Last week, the
Ohio House passed an amended bill and the Senate
agreed to its changes.
The National Retail Federation estimates
that the average U.S. family with children in
grades kindergarten through 12 was expected
to spend $688.82 on back-to-school purchases
in 2012. A July 2013 report by the University
of Cincinnatis Economics Center found that if
Ohio waived its 5.5 percent sales tax on these
items, and all the spending took place during
the sales-tax holiday, the average household
would save $38.
Sales tax holidays have been used in 18 states
around the country, said Gordon Gough, president
and CEO of the Ohio Council of Retail Merchants.
Its real tax relief that has helped taxpayers and
consumers around the United States.
The centers study also found that retail sales

volume would increase by close to 5 percent during
the month of a 3-day sales tax holiday.
At the same time, its analysis suggested Ohio
wouldnt see its sales tax revenue drop by a statistically significant amount during the month of
the holiday. Thats because consumers who are out
taking advantage of the tax break tend to buy more
items. Legislative analysts differ, estimating that
the states general revenue fund would lose $36
million as a result of the holiday.
The liberal Cleveland-based think tank Policy
Matters Ohio lobbied lawmakers to substitute a
sales-tax credit for the sales-tax holiday. Research
Director Zach Schiller said the sales tax is regressive, falling more heavily on lower- and middleincome taxpayers, yet it would be wealthier taxpayers who would benefit from the sales-tax holiday
because theyre able to shift their buying patterns
most easily.
A sales-tax credit, in place in five states, is a set
amount for each member of a family to offset some
of the cost of a sales or similar tax.
Health care centers receive awards Non-profit organization

seeks community reps
On Tuesday, Health and Human Services

Secretary Sylvia M. Burwell announced
$853,797 in Affordable Care Act funding to 33
health centers in Ohio to recognize health center
quality improvement achievements and invest
in ongoing quality improvement activities. Ohio
health centers receiving awards are proven leaders in areas such as chronic disease management, preventive care and the use of Electronic
Health Records (EHRs) to report quality data.
This funding rewards Ohio health centers
that have a proven track record in clinical
quality improvement, which translates to better patient care, and it allows them to expand
and improve their systems and infrastructure to
bring the highest quality primary care services
to the communities they serve, said Secretary
Burwell. With these funds, health centers in
Ohio will continue to provide access to high
quality, comprehensive primary and preventive
health care to the patients that need it the most.
Ohio Health centers receiving these funds
are being recognized for high levels of quality
performance in one or more of the following
categories.
Health center quality leaders received awards
if they were among the top 30 percent of all
health centers that achieved the best overall
clinical outcomes, demonstrating their ability
to focus on quality in all aspects of their clinical operations; 14 Ohio health centers received
funding in this category for approximately
$362,652.
National quality leaders received awards
for exceeding national clinical benchmarks
(Healthy People 2020 objectives and health

center national averages) for chronic disease
management, preventive care, and perinatal/
prenatal care, demonstrating the critical role that
health centers play in promoting higher quality
health care nationwide; one Ohio health center
received funding in this category for approximately $31,070.
Clinical quality improvers received awards if
they demonstrated at least a 10-percent improvement in clinical quality measures between 2012
and 2013, showing a significant improvement
in the health of the patients they serve; 30 Ohio
health centers received funding in this category
for approximately $445,068.
Electronic Health Record reporters received
funding if they used EHRs to report clinical quality measure data on all of their patients, a key
transformational step in driving quality improvement for all health center patients across the
nation; one Ohio health center received funding
in this category for approximately $15,000.
These funds reward and support those
health centers that have taken steps to achieve
the highest levels of clinical quality performance
and improvement, said Health and Resources
Administration (HRSA) Administrator Mary K.
Wakefield, Ph.D., R.N.
In Ohio, 40 HRSA-supported health centers
operate more than 208 service delivery sites
that provide care to nearly 508,333 patients.
Nationally, nearly 1,300 HRSA-supported
health centers operate more than 9,200 service
delivery sites that provide care to nearly 22
million patients in every state, the District of
Columbia, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands,
and the Pacific Basin.
COLUMBUS (AP) Ohio Democrats elect a

new party chair this week as they seek to recover
from a punishing statewide election that saw
campaign missteps, dismal turnout and across-theboard losses.
WHY THE VACANCY?
State Democratic Chairman Chris Redfern
announced his resignation on election night after
watching his party lose every statewide race and
several seats in the already Republican-dominated
Ohio House, including his own.
Redfern is a two-time state representative and
former House minority leader from Catawba
Island. He instituted an 88-county strategy as
chairman that helped Democrats win statewide
victories, including for governor, in 2006 and take
back the Ohio House majority for the first time in
14 years in 2008.
He took heat this year for fielding Cuyahoga
County Executive Ed FitzGerald to run for governor. FitzGeralds campaign featured a series of
political gaffes and scandals that helped dishearten
Democrats, depress turnout and sink the partys
state ticket. Redfern faulted a vetting firm for not
doing its due diligence.
WHO WANTS THE JOB?
Competition for the job has been fierce. Redfern
is known for his acerbic oratory and has been the
target of an unsuccessful ouster. Many veteran
party loyalists speak of Redferns departure as a
chance to instill fresh perspective and racial and
gender diversity in the partys power structure.
Others foresee a full overhaul. Candidates vying
to replace him include state Rep. Bob Hagan,
of Youngstown; longtime Democratic campaign
adviser Antoinette Wilson; Geauga County

Democratic Chairwoman Janet Carson; 2014 lieutenant governor candidate Sharen Neuhardt; and
2014 attorney general candidate David Pepper,
who says he would work with fellow 2014 candidate Nina Turner. When Redfern ran in 2005, there
were two main candidates.
WHO DECIDES?
The winner is selected by a majority vote of
the partys 148-member Executive Committee, a
group of party insiders. Labor leader Ron Malone
is among those known to control blocks of votes
on the panel, but the process will ultimately come
down to individual votes, Pepper said. Anyone
who approaches this thinking theres one kingmaker or queenmaker is going to lose, and lose
badly, he said.
WHOS THE FAVORITE?
Various candidates have gotten important
endorsements from elected Democrats in Ohio.
U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown, the states highest-ranking sitting Democrat, says he wants Neuhardt to
get the job. Shes an attorney and former congressional contender who worked hard as FitzGeralds
running mate this fall. Brown has signaled his
interest in seeing someone other than a white man
get the job.
Hagan touted his endorsement by his fellow
Mahoning Valley Democrat U.S. Rep. Tim Ryan.
But last week, Ryan announced he was joining
U.S. Reps. Marcia Fudge and Joyce Beatty in
backing Pepper. The son of a former Procter &
Gamble CEO, Pepper is considered the front-runner headed into Tuesday, if verbal commitments to
back him stick.

Exodus: Gods and Kings

conquers the box office
Anniversary
Mr. and Mrs. Carl Trenkamp

Mrs. and Mrs. Carl Trenkamp celebrated 40 years of
marriage on Dec. 14.
Carl and the former Chris Fischer were married
on Dec. 14, 1974, at St. John the Evangelist Catholic
Church in Delphos, celebrated by Father John Blaser at
the 2 p.m. Mass.
They have three children: Amanda (Robert) Mosely
of Columbus, Cory Trenkamp of Fort Jennings and
Abby (Chris) Nichols of Fort Jennings. They also have
four grandchildren: Evan and Izak Mosely of Columbus
and Ben and Lindsey Nichols of Fort Jennings.
Carl is presently working for Vorst Paving in
Cloverdale. Chris retired from teaching through the
Allen County Educational Service Center.
LOS ANGELES (AP) After three

weeks of box office dominance, The
Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part
1 ceded its reign to Exodus: Gods
and Kings. The biblical epic easily
ruled the weekend with a $24.5 million
debut, according to box office tracker Rentraks Sunday estimates, while
The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five
Armies dominated international charts
with a staggering $117.6 million from
38 territories in advance of its North
America release this week.
The Hunger Games: Mockingjay
Part 1, down 40 percent from last
weekend, came in a distant second,
earning $13.2 million.
With an expensive $140 million production budget, Exodus: Gods and
Kings met expectations in its first
weekend. But it failed to live up to the
precedent set by some recent biblically
themed films, including Noah, which
opened to $43.7 million in March.
I think Hollywood is learning that
putting epic, biblical stories on the big
screen comes at a pretty heavy price. Its
not easy to do this, said Rentrak senior
media analyst Paul Dergarabedian.
Foxs domestic distribution chief
Chris Aronson said he is happy about
the performance of his studios film.
Were feeling great, Aronson said.
We came in right where our expectations were.
According to the studio, opening
weekend crowds for the film were
divided fairly evenly down gender
lines, but they skewed older with 65
percent over the age of 25.
Its a very diverse audience, said
Aronson, noting that 20 percent were
African-American and 18 percent
Hispanic. Its a movie for everyone.

Also new in theaters, Top Five,
from writer, director and star Chris
Rock, opened strongly. The Paramountdistributed comedy took in an estimated
$7.2 million from only 979 locations to
take the fourth-place spot right behind
Penguins of Madagascar.
Its exactly what we needed to
get this movie up and running, said
Megan Colligan, Paramounts president
of worldwide distribution. It gives us
the right rhythm to keep building and
building. I think its going to benefit
from great word of mouth.
Top Five will expand each weekend before hitting 2,000 screens by
Jan. 1.
Despite the fact that nearly all
expectations were met for this weekends new openers, it paled in comparison to last year, which saw the opening
of the second Hobbit film. Also, the
overall box office is still down over 5
percent for the year, and the deficit is
only growing.
Were running out of racetrack,
Dergarabedian said. Were not going
to have a record-breaking year.
But there is a silver lining, he said.
For me, the hot spots are in the indie
world, said Dergarabedian, noting the
impressive five-screen, $300,000 debut
for Paul Thomas Andersons Inherent
Vice, and the stunning growth of
awards-friendly films such as The
Imitation Game, Birdman and
Wild, which expanded to 116 screens
and cracked the top 10 with $1.6 million.
Estimated ticket sales for Friday

through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian
theaters, according to Rentrak. Where

available, the latest international numbers are also included. Final domestic
figures will be released today.
1. Exodus: Gods and Kings, $24.5
million ($18.8 million international).
2. The Hunger Games: Mockingjay
Part 1, $13.2 million ($16 million
international).
3. Penguins of Madagascar, $7.3
4. Top Five, $7.2 million.
5. Big Hero 6, $6.1 million ($3.9

6. Interstellar,$5.5 million ($11.4

7. Horrible Bosses 2, $4.6 million
($5.9 million international).
8. Dumb and Dumber To, $2.8
9. The Theory of Everything, $2.5
10. Wild, $1.6 million.
Estimated ticket sales for Friday

Got kids? Make your wedding a family affair Grown-ups find coloring
Associated Press
When Angelina Jolie
wed Brad Pitt in one of the
most publicized nuptials
of the 21st century, she
wore a jaw-dropping silk
and satin gown designed
by Donatella Versace.
Embroidered on her floorlength veil were colorful
drawings by the couples
six children. One even read
Buttock Fatock.
Eldest sons Maddox and
Pax walked Jolie down the
aisle, daughters Zahara
and Vivienne tossed flower
petals, and daughter Shiloh
and son Knox were ringbearers. Pax baked the
wedding cake.
It all sounds very
Hollywood. But its not
just Brangelina.
Many brides and grooms
have children from previous relationships, and
are going beyond the traditional to find ways to
incorporate them into their
weddings.
Yes, the kids add cuteness. But its often more
about blending families.
The need to create
a family bond early is
vital to stepparents success, says Stacey James
Wheeler, a Californiabased family dynamics
researcher and author,
whose wife had two
daughters when they married more than 12 years
ago. Involving the children in our marriage was a
great way to do that.
The girls were flower girls, and received an
engraved locket and a
verbal commitment from
Wheeler after he proposed
to their mother.
I let them know I was
committing to be there as
a parent and to raise them
as my own, he says.
Like Jolie and Pitts
brood, many children take
part in the ceremony as
flower girls, ring bearers

Children also can help

bride, groom and children

sand into a container to
symbolize a new union.
San Francisco physician Kyra Bobinet and
her fianc, Josh Leichter,
designed wedding bands
with a diamond for each of
their four children.
Our kids will be our
only bridesmaids and
groomsmen, setting them
apart as special attendants
to the wedding, Bobinet
says. Were inviting them
to offer words of support
for our partnership . so it
gives them a voice and a
choice in the matter.
Instead of having a
traditional
processional, event planner Sandy
Sloane and her husband,
Bob Czworka, danced
down the aisle with their
four children to the song
Love is Strange. All

planner Amanda Morris
created a semi-sweetheart
table for a newly married
couple and their 4-yearold daughter. The little
girl sat between her mom
and dad at the reception,
and each sat in a chair
with signs that read, Im
his, Im hers or Im
theirs.
Morris also created a
favorite things station
instead of a traditional
dessert table. What was
cute is that it even had
items like mini Heinz
ketchup
packets
and
Starbucks pink cake pops
because their daughter
loved both, she says.
Cupcake stations are
another kid-friendly dessert idea. The children of
the bride and groom can
play host and help other
kids decorate cupcakes
during the reception.
And then theres the
first dance. Not between
bride and groom, but
between each of them and
their children and/or stepchildren.

books a break from stress

COLUMBUS (AP) Twice a week or so, Amanda Ghiloni
pulls out a coloring book and gussies up an animal, a Disney
princess or a simple scene from a dollar-bin tablet.
Her coloring utensils of choice: I love crayons.
Not any type of crayons will do, however.
Im only a Crayola girl, she said.
Ghiloni is 27.
She keeps her crayons organized in a plastic container and
nicely sharpened ready for use when the urge hits.
I have a good 100 or so that cover the whole rainbow, plus
black, grays and browns, she said. I probably have 10 different shades of each color.
The occupational therapist, of Pataskala, sees coloring as
mindless fun or stress relief.
Its repetitive, and it doesnt require a lot of thinking, she
said.
Apparently, the enduring childhood pastime isnt just for
youngsters and their parents.
Many other central Ohio adults also acknowledge a passion for coloring. (A recent Dispatch query about the topic on
Facebook quickly drew more than 60 responses.)
Because of its therapeutic benefits, some mental-health
professionals endorse the activity.
I encourage any executive to say, Im going to spend
the lunch hour coloring, doodling, said Leslie Marshall,
a licensed professional clinical counselor with Directions
Counseling Group in Worthington.
Coloring, she said, opens the frontal lobe of the brain the
home of organizing and problem solving and focuses the
mind.
It allows us to not be too regretful of the past or too anxious about the future, Marshall said. Its not that we want
people to forget what its like to be in reality, but, for 20 minutes we can push aside that stress.
Such a notion probably explains the range of coloring books
geared toward adults.
Included are books and websites devoted to geometricshaped designs called mandalas; humorous options designed
by comedians (Coloring for Grown-Ups and The Hipster
Coloring Book for Adults); and posh alternatives priced
at $160 no less sold by the French fashion house Hermes.
Earlier this year, Scott OBrien a Euclid, Ohio, native and
Los Angeles resident raised more than $23,000 on the crowdfunding site Kickstarter to create Why Is Daddy Sad on Sunday?
The coloring book depicts disappointing moments in
Cleveland sports history and allows adults to share the
moments with children. (Recently released is a companion
coloring book, Why Is Daddy Happy on Sunday?)
Three months ago, central Ohio illustrator Katie Barron
released a 98-page coloring book with scenes from Downtown,
the Clintonville neighborhood, German Village and the Short
North.
She had started the project in the spring of 2013 as a senior
at the Columbus College of Art & Design, viewing it as an
effective way to share her art without having to sell originals
or produce commissions.
Coloring its kind of interactive, said Barron, 24.
Her book, sold on Amazon.com and at eight area shops,
includes activities, too.
Because of the intricate drawings, she said, she doesnt recommend the book for anyone younger than 8.
Adults do jigsaw puzzles, she said. There isnt anything
nerdier about coloring than (there is about) doing jigsaw
puzzles.
One day recently, Barron hosted a coloring night with a
retailer, State & Third, that stocks her book.
Diane Lazor and Susan Brown, friends from Grove City,
were among the 10 people at the event with wine, colored
pencils and a few pages from the book.
Ive always loved to color, Lazor, 56, said as she shaded
the leaves of a tree in an Ohio Theatre scene.
Well color when the guys are watching football.
Brown, a 48-year-old mortgage-company employee,
receives crayons and a coloring book each year for Christmas
from her family.
It does relieve stress, she said. No two pages are ever
the same.
In recent weeks, New Albany resident Susan Clark has
worked in a 368-page activity book called Scribbles by
Japanese illustrator Taro Gomi.
Coloring books take the intimidation out of creativity, the
43-year-old said.

Show choir
entertains
retired teachers
The Ottawa-Glandorf High School Show Choir, under
the direction of Ted Ellerbrock, entertained the Putnam
County Retired Teachers Association on Thursday at Pike
Run Golf Course near Ottawa. The singers and dancers
delighted their family members and former teachers with
their well-prepared holiday selections.
PCRTA President Roger Luersman thanked the Pike
Run staff for its preparations and led prayer before the
meal. The business portion of the gathering began with
the Association minutes and reports. Members who are
interested in the position of Corresponding Secretary may
contact any PCRTA officer about the job.
Items for bingo prizes at O-G Meadows were collected
at the meeting. Local 2015 membership fees are due and
can be sent to Treasurer Marie Gerding.
Under new business, members enjoyed the Ohio
Northern University Holiday Spectacular which was a
scholarship fundraiser for the group. An afghan made by
PCRTA member Dorothy Hanefeld was also raffled to
benefit the Scholarship Fund. Bill and Linda Bockrath
were the winners with nearly $300 benefiting the fund. A
memorial service was held for former PCRTA members
and teachers from Putnam County who passed away during
2014. The poinsettias that decorated the tables were given
as door prizes.
The next Putnam County Retired Teachers Association
meeting will be held at the Glandorf Fellowship Hall,
103 N. Main St. in Glandorf on April 9. Member Janet
Schroeder will give a presentation on the Holy Land.

He now has 1,002 points.
To begin with, both teams defenses
had marked men: Perrys was Smith and
Jeffersons was 6-4 senior Jared Poling.
Coach Smith alternately assigned a couple of players espcially Teman and
also used a box-and-1 and 3-2 zone to
the job and though Poling scored 15
counters (4 triples; 7 boards), 11 the first
half, he never really got loose. Poling
got five in the first period as both teams
were seeking a high-tempo game but it
didnt materialize. A putback by Jakoby
Lane-Harvey (14 markers, 9 dimes) at
one tick gave the hosts a 13-10 edge.

Wayne Trace wins Lancer Invite,

Buettner notches 100th win
By LARRY HEIING
DHI Media Correspondent
news@delphosherald.com
RURAL MIDDLE POINT The Wayne Trace wrestlers

ran away with the Lincolnview Lancer Invitational Saturday
afternoon with 302 team points, which easily outdistanced
second-place Spencerville with 222. St. Johns was fifth
and Jefferson sixth, followed by Paulding, Van Wert and
Columbus Grove.
The finals began with the 106-pound weight class and
all four championship matches were decided via the pin.
Pauldings Ryan Woodring finished in the runner-up spot after
suffering a fall to Armon Haver of Hicksville in 1:25. Preston
Brubaker of Columbus Grove stopped Spencervilles Waylon
Sligh in 2:40, Brett Mahlie (Jefferson) over Cody Wright (St.
Johns) in 1:41 and Luke Bollinger (Lincolnview) defeated
Tristen McKee of Parkway in 4:16.
Wayne Trace scored their first points in the final round with
Marcus Rassman placing second after being pinned by Kage
Seals of Paulding. Jeffersons Andrew Foust scored a 6-2 decision over Kade Cortez of Ada in the 113-ponders.
A premier matchup was featured in the battle for first place
in the 120-pound class as George Clemons of Wayne Trace
faced Adas Chase Sumner. Clemens outlasted Sumner to take
his first of many championships to come this season, winning
4-1. Alexander Rodriquez from Lincolnview pinned Jacob
Laguna of Fairview and Columbus Groves Justin Calvelage
stopped Pauldings Clay Dockery in 50 seconds.
Wayne Trace got their second champion in a row as Ruger
Goeltzenleuchter tech-falled Aldo Barrera 22-6. Spencervilles
Peyton Ford finished third to round out the local finishers in
the 126-pound class.
In the 132-pounders, Spencervilles Cody Dickerson
dropped a 11-5 decision to Reilly Heater to finish in the runner-up spot. Wyatt Place from Jefferson pinned Titus Miller of
Van Wert to place third.
Van Werts lone Lincolnview champion was 138-pound
Andy Hammond as he defeated Derrick Smith of Spencerville
10-5. Wayne Trace had two wrestlers place in the final four as
Hunter Showalter and Caleb Schultz placed for the Raiders.
Senior Wes Buettner of St. Johns got his 100th career victory at the Lincolnview Wrestling Invitational
held on Saturday and finished 1st in the 195-pound
weight class. Here he wrestled and defeated Noah
Hanson of Van Wert in the fourth round to qualify
for the finals. (DHI Media/Larry Heiing)
Jeffersons David Grant finished in fifth place.
Justin Siefker defended his 2013 Lincolnview title when
he pinned Abel Esparza of Defiance in 3:30 to keep the title
at 145 pounds.
Justin really turned it up a notch today and wrestled with
new aggression, Blue Jay coach Derek Sterling said.

LadyCats fire
away vs. Jeffcats
By JIM METCALFE
DHI Media Sports Editor
jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com
DELPHOS Jefferson
girls basketball mentor Dave
Hoffman felt his Lady Jeffcats
had to stop Kalidas inside
game Saturday afternoon to
have a chance for a non-conference win at Jefferson High
School.
Unfortunately for the host
Lady Jeffcats, the LadyCats
were hot from the perimeter
and downed the hosts 59-35.
The LadyCats (3-2) were a
torrid 21-of-38 from the floor
including 10-of-22 beyond
the arc for 55.3 percent.
Pacing Kalida were a trio
in double digits: Brittany
Kahle sank five treys for
15 markers, while Kylie
Osterhage added two en route
to 14 counters and Allison
Recker 10.
Senior Brooke Culp was
the sole Jefferson (2-3) performer in twin figures with 17
(2 bombs).
Jefferson employed a
2-1-2 zone at the start in an
effort to neutralize Kalidas
inside game. It did work some
as the LadyCats only hit one
3-pointer (out of 4 tries).
However, with Gardner and
Osterhage scoring five points
each, they were 6-of-6 inside
the arc. There was one tie
12-12 as Bailey Gorman
drive for two at 58 ticks.

However, Recker put back
an offensive board at 35 ticks
and Gardner hit an 18-footer
at the 7-second mark for a
16-12 advantage.
Kalida began to open up
its advantage in the second
canto. Part of it was 6-of-13
shooting including 4-of10 outside the arc as six
players scored at least two
markers and Kahle drilled
two trios. The second part
was the Jeffcats committing
five miscues (22 total) and
Culp scoring five as only two
other teammates netted two
each. When Recker laid one
in with 12 ticks showing, the
Maroon and White led 34-21.
Jefferson managed to slow
down the LadyCats in period
3, allowing only 11 markers.
However, they struggled on
the other end: six turnovers;
along with 1-of-7 shooting,
with Gorman (6 markers,
3 boards) scoring the only
basket at 3:45 on a second
chance. When Gardner put in
a transition layup at 3.0 seconds, Kalida led 45-23.
Delphos went to its more
familar 1-2-2 half-court trapping zone to try and get back
in the contest in the fourth
and they had some success,
forcing four turnovers (12
for the game) and limiting
Kalidas scoring chances.

FORT JENNINGS It was with

aggression, well-placed shots and a
whole lot of hustle that the Spencerville
Bearcats beat the Fort Jennings
Musketeers 69-53 in Saturday night
boys basketball action at The Fort.
Spencerville came out and dominated
the first quarter, holding Jennings to
three points until 3:39, while racking up
seven of its own. Jennings went into a
2-2-1 full-court press that couldnt slow
down Spencerville and at 1:50, junior
Mason Nourse (17 markers, 7 boards,
5 assists) hit a three to keep the tempo
rolling. Spencerville pushed out its
defense and picked up the pace, giving

junior Zach Goecke (21 points, 3 assists,
3 steals) and sophomore Bailey Croft a
steal each. Goecke hit a jumper from the
middle of the paint at the buzzer to bring
Spencerville to a 21-7 lead.
In the second quarter, the Bearcats
seemed to hit a wall both defensively
and offensively. Fort Jennings seized the
momentum and fought back, taking their
cue from senior Conner Wallenhorst (20
markers), who scored 10 points in the quarter. By the time Spencerville called a timeout at 4:56, Fort Jennings had gone on a
9-point scoring spree. Goecke led his team
with five of its seven points in the quarter
but it wasnt enough to stop the Musketeers
from tying the contest 28-28 at half.
The third quarter saw the two teams
on more even footing. Goecke came

out strong in the first minute and a
half with a jumper mid-paint, a crucial
steal and a far-out three from the wing.
Jennings Nick Von Sossan (17 counters,
6 rebounds, 3 assists) and Austin Kehres
brought in six points apiece for their
team, helping to keep the score close,
ending the quarter down 47-43.
The fourth quarter saw Spencerville
dig deep. Goecke commenced driving
into the paint and kicking the ball out to
find Nourse, who had three 3s in a row
and 11 total points in the quarter. Fort
Jennings tried a full-court press again and
saw the same results from the first quarter: Spencerville pulling away at the end.
See SPENCERVILLE, page 7
everybody an opportunity to
score.
The Lady Green ended the
day with 25 team fouls, 10 of
which came in the third quarter. The fouls were not the
worst part about Ottovilles
play on Saturday, though, as
they shot 57 percent from the
free-throw line.
In the big games, the
close games, and tournament
games, the game is usually
won at the free-throw line
and weve got to fix that,
added Kleman. We need to
get a lot better at the freethrow line if we want to go
somewhere in the tournament
and in the league standings.
ELIDA The St. Johns Blue Jays and the Elida Bulldogs
boys basketball teams were in a good, old-fashioned dogfight
on the Union Bank Court of the Fieldhouse Saturday night as
the lead was no more than four points for nearly the first three
quarters.
The Blue Jays used nearly perfect free-throw shooting and
timely rebounding in the final period to
grab the bone with a 56-46 victory.
With the score tied 22 at halftime, St.
Johns took the lead briefly with a jumper
inside by senior Andy Grothouse. Elida
answered as Josh Press landed a triple
from the corner and Jazz Howell followed
with a left-handed jumper for a 27-24
Elida lead. The Jays took the lead back by
attacking the bucket as Grothouses layin
fell in after the foul and Evan Hays drove
down the right side. Elidas Clark Etzler and Alex Odenweller
of St. Johns exchanged 3-pointers. Hays was the playmaker
for the Jays with an assist to Tim Kreeger for the easy basket
under the board. Odenweller popped an NBA three to give St.
Johns the momentum and a 37-30 lead. After a free throw by
Etzler, Press hit a clutch triple to pull the Bulldogs closer as
the third quarter ended.
Howell landed a 10-footer and Masha Lusters layup put
the Dawgs back in the lead as Jays coach Aaron Elwer was
forced to call time. Fouls became a factor as Peyton Smith and
Baylen Stinson picked up their fourth foul for Elida and Tyler
Conley went to the bench for St. Johns. Grothouse continued
to score with a pair of free throws and a bank shot from the
paint but Howells jumper knotted the score again at 41. Senior
Austin Heiing gave the Blue Jays the lead for good with a key
offensive rebound/putback. Elida was in the bonus first with
4:35 remaining in the game but it was St. Johns that hit 11 out
of 12 free throws in the final minutes to turn a close game into
a 10-point victory.

Lady Green dominate Pirates 79-38

By DANIEL JOSEPH
BLUFFTON Almost
everything seemed to go right
for the Ottoville Lady Green
as they hosted the Bluffton
Lady Pirates in a non-league
contest Saturday at L.W.
Heckman Gymnasium.
Few things didnt go their
way, such as the amount of
fouls committed and their
low free throw percentage,
as the Lady Green pelted the
Pirates 79-38.
Bluffton started off hot
with a layup from Andie
Schmutz and a 3-point field
goal from Abbie Parkins
(assisted by Kearstin Barry).
Ottoville got on the board

just two minutes into the
game as Lexi Wannemacher
and Bridget Landin had field
goals on back-to-back possessions. The Lady Green
then took its first lead of the
game on an Annie Lindeman
3-point basket. Bluffton went
on to take a 9-7 lead before
Ottoville took the lead and
never looked back.
Dave Klemans club forced
31 turnovers while surrendering just 12. Ottovilles fullcourt press seemed to really
hurt the Lady Pirate offense
as they struggled to get the
ball much past the half-court
line before turning the ball
over. The Lady Pirate turnovers led to 28 points for the
Lady Green.
Thats why we press, said
Ottoville head coach Dave
Kleman. We want to make it
as fast as possible, not ragged
necessarily, but to get the other
team out of what theyre comfortable with and hopefully
take advantage of that.
The Lady Green showed
great selflessness as four
players reached double digits
and 11 total Ottoville players
reached the scoring column.
Ottoville also managed to get
14 assists on the day.
We very seldomly have a
player that is going to average in the high teens or twenties, said Kleman. We share
the ball a lot with the type of
offense we play which lends

However, despite shooting 5-of-8 from

the field Culp scoring eight they
committed seven miscues in short-circuiting their rally. The closest they could get
was 46-31 on a Culp 3-ball at 6:16.
That was our game plan; take away
the paint. We had to pick our poison
because Kalida has a good team and can
score inside and out, Hoffman explained.
Unfortunately for us, they got hot from
the outside, especially Kahle. We had not
played the 2-1-2 before but I felt we did
well in it. I am not disappointed defensively because we executed what we wanted; it
just wasnt good enough to win today but
it will help us down the road. Offensively,
the turnovers were the killer. Still, we are
making progress each day; that is the goal
for this team.
Kalida downed 7-of-11 free throws
(63.6%); grabbed 19 rebounds (5 offensive) as Osterhage had six; and nine fouls.
Jefferson finished 14-of-32 shooting
(2-of-6 long range) for 43.8 percent and
5-of-8 singles (62.5%); secured 20 off the

Fairview. Evan Mohler finished fourth for St. Johns.
Pauldings Aaron Mock won
the 160-pound championship,
defeating Dylan Hannah of Ada
5-1. Brett Vonderwell rebounded from his loss to Mock in
the preliminaries to finish third
with a pin of 2:40 of Brandon
Laney of Wayne Trace in 2:40.
The local showing in the
Jays
four; and 10 fouls.

We were taking good shots; we had
tremendous patience, which is what we
are looking for. We had great ball movement, which set up our good shooting,
Kalida coach Adam Huber said. What I
thought was key, though, was our defense.
We started out with a more aggressive
defense and we gave up some easy stuff.
We backed off into man and was much
sounder; we forced turnovers and that
opened up the running game and also got
us into a better offensive rhythm.
In junior varsity action, Kalida (1-4)
grabbed a 38-35 triumph over Delphos
(2-3).
Sarah Klausing and Morgan Knapke
tallied 13 each for the victors, while Greta
Fitch answered with 12 for the Lady
Jeffcats.
Jefferson returns to the court Thursday
at Columbus Grove (NWC) at 6 p.m. (JV
tip), while Kalida hosts Fort Jennings at
noon Saturday (noon).
Also, the Jefferson home game Saturday
versus New Bremen will be a varsity-only
game, tipping off at 1 p.m.
VARSITY
170-pounders was Adam

Deatrick of Paulding with a pin
of Columbus Groves Andrew
Burgie to place third. Dakota
Sutherland
(Spencerville)
notched a 9-0 major decision
over Jeffersons Josh Kroeger.
Jeffersons Tyler Foust continued his success from last season as he won the 182-pound title
with an 11-4 victory over Peyton
Hamrick of upstart Parkway.
Alex Haunhorst placed third for
St. Johns and Wayne Traces
Josh Reel finished in sixth place.
St. Johns senior Wes
Buettner a State qualifier
from last season came into
the Lincolnview tournament as
the second seed in the 195-pound
class. He demolished top-seeded
Jarod Woodland 17-0 for the tech
fall and also won his 100th career
We had St. Johns right where we

wanted them when we took the lead 41-40
in the fourth quarter, Elida coach Denny
Thompson said. With the lead, we missed
an opportunity with four foul shots and
couldnt convert. Our lack of varsity experience with injuries to key players hurts
our intensity on the court and it leads to
mental mistakes. St. Johns made mistakes, too, but with five seniors starting,
that experience pays off by playing hard to
correct the errors.
The first quarter scoring got underway
with a layin by Grothouse and Stinson put
Elida on the board with a 3-point bomb.
Odenweller scored on a nice drive after
a Hays steal and Conley followed with a
short jumper. Stinson popped his second
triple and Odenweller was focused in on
the bucket in the first eight minutes, shooting 3-of-5 from long range and scoring 11
points to give St. Johns the 15-11 lead
after one period.
Elida took the lead on a great back-door
pass from Stinson to Etzler and an offensive rebound and shot by Stinson. The
Blue Jay ballhandlers had little trouble as
Elida came out in a full-court press and
St. Johns up 19-16. Smith tied the contest with a triple from the corner before

and saw Spencervilles Tyler
Dues get a quick pin in 44
seconds of Quinton Stabler of
Wayne Trace to finish third.
Kaleb Cantrell defeated Van
Odenweller continued to be deadly beyond

the arc to keep the Jays lead at three.
Elida set up for the final shot of the half
and Etzlers triple as the halftime buzzer
sounded tied the game at 22.
We are learning from our mistakes,
Elwer said. It was a combination of
fatigue from our first double weekend of
the season against tough competition and
our lack of experience on the bench that
led to lack of concentration on the floor
at times. We are still trying to develop a
rotation with our players but for now we
just need to survive our errors with smart
play.
Shooting percentages for both squads
were nearly identical as Elida shot 44
and St. Johns was 45. Neither team was
spectacular from the charity stripe but St.
Johns had more attempts, hitting 14-of-22
compared to 8-of-14 for Elida. The Blue
Jays gained a slight edge with those key
rebounds in the fourth quarter to win the
battle of the boards 20-19.
Elida (0-4) will open Western Buckeye
League play Friday night at home against
a tough Defiance squad.
St. Johns (2-0) will also be at home

I have the utmost respect for Jared Poling. He and Trey
have been on the same AAU team and we know what kind of
player he is, Coach Smith added. He works extremely hard at
the sport and we knew what he us capable of. We knew we had
to slow him down or wed get beat. The thing about this team
is its willingness to accept and grow into its roles, like Jace,
Drew, Dalton, Grant; we did that tonight. I also know we are
going to have to go deeper at some point; I told those guys that
it will be their time at some point and to be ready.

DEAR DOCTOR
K: I have constant
knee and hip pain.
How can I relieve my
pain without drugs or
surgery?
DEAR READER:
For several years,
I asked myself the
same question. I had
severe arthritis in my
right hip, the result of
a sports injury when
I was a young adult.
The pain really was
interfering with my
life. I was limping,
and that made me
feel old. Worse, I
loved long walks -particularly in new
places, on vacation
-- and I just couldnt
do it anymore. But I
didnt want to have
surgery.
The pain from a bad
hip or knee can come
from the hip or knee
joint itself. But it also
can come from tissues
and muscles near the
hip or knee that are
strained by trying to
compensate for the
bad hip or knee. In my
case, almost all of my
pain came not from
the bad hip joint, but
from the leg muscles
and tendons that were
being
overworked
because my hip could
not bear my weight
normally.
Fortunately, there
are ways to relieve
pain without drugs or

most important ingredient in any

relationship is communication, and
you and Alex have been together long
enough that you should be able to
level with each other. His reluctance
to move forward may be something as
simple as a case of cold feet. It could
also be that hes had a change of heart
and doesnt want to be married. Not
all gay people do.
I dont think it would be pressuring
him to calmly ask if the idea of
being married is something that no
longer interests him. If this level of
commitment is what you want and
he cant give it to you, you deserve to
know.
DEAR ABBY: I have a teenage
grandson with an upcoming birthday.
For several years we have taken him
to a major sporting event for his
birthday. I get complimentary tickets
for this from work.
Last year he noticed that the
tickets were complimentary and
acted very disappointed. We had
spent more than $50 on refreshments
and souvenirs. Should we take him to
the game again this year, or opt for

something else? -- CANT WIN FOR

DEAR
CANT
WIN:
Your grandsons reaction was
disappointing. He should have been
grateful to have been invited to share
the experience. It would have been
best to discuss his reaction at the time
it happened.
Before making up your mind about
what to do this year, ask him why he
acted the way he did. Feel free to tell
him it hurt your feelings. If it turns
out he was looking a gift horse in the
mouth, make plans to do something
else for his birthday this year, at your
discretion. Shame on him.

particularly helpful:
ULTRASOUND.
T h e r a p e u t i c
ultrasound
sends
sound waves into
tissues near your hip
or knee. The sound
waves help to increase
blood flow, relax
muscle spasms and aid
healing. The therapist
applies gel to your
skin and glides an
ultrasound wand over
your skin around the
painful area. The wand
gives off sound waves,
which penetrate the
skin and enter the
deeper tissues.

Strengthening
the
muscles around a
damaged knee or
hip can help reduce
stress on a joint. For
example, your hips
have to do less work
to support your body
weight if the muscles
in
your
thighs,
buttocks and abdomen
are strong. Strong
thigh muscles can also
take on some of the
shock-absorbing work
normally done by
the knee. The proper
balance of strength in
surrounding muscles
can hold the knee and
hip joints in the most
functional and least
painful position.
Flexibility
exercises (to stretch
and relax specific
muscles) are another
important component
of an exercise plan
to
improve
joint
function. Ive put

DEAR ABBY: Recently, our state

became one that allows same-sex
couples to wed. My partner, Alex,
and I have been together for 18 years.
We had planned to be married last
spring, but a death in the family put
our wedding on hold.
When I found out about the ruling,
I expected Alex to be excited and
suggest we go ahead and marry. To
my disappointment, he didnt seem to
care. He hasnt mentioned marriage
once, and when I bring it up, hes
quiet and doesnt respond.
Were older, and because of health
issues we dont have an active sex
life. Im wondering if my relationship
with him has been downgraded to
roommate without me realizing it.
Do I push this? Do I let it alone and
settle for what I have now?
I feel like Im too old to start over,
but I have to admit that suddenly
feeling like the relationship I thought
I had may be an illusion has me
very depressed. -- LET DOWN IN

You will need to streamline

your schedule in order to
triumph this year. Doing too
many things for others will
restrict your time to work on
your own priorities. Maintain
your focus and keep your life
simple. Figuring out how to say
no diplomatically will be your
lesson to learn.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23Dec. 21) -- It will be easier to

complete projects if you work
alone. Asking questions will
lead to interference. No one
needs a step-by-step accounting
of your actions. Dont make
unrealistic promises.
CAPRICORN
(Dec.
22-Jan. 19) -- Trust in your
judgment. You will not feel
satisfied if you try to live up to
someone elses expectations.
Reconsider your past choices
and make adjustments that suit
your current needs.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 19) -- Money will come
to you from a quite unusual
source. Your knowledge will
be instrumental in helping
someone get a project off the
ground. Make sure you get
credit for your contribution.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March
20) -- Resist the temptation to
get romantically involved with
a co-worker. Relationship woes
could lead to a costly mistake
if you mix your business and

commented on the gold accents and the placement of decorations. They liked the blue and gold light combination.
Tracy Cantner, 615 S. Cass St. The judges liked the cute
look of the house and the use of multi-colored lights. The
house reminded them of Christmases of the past.
Leonard and Shirley Jarman, 604 N. Franklin St. This
house had a very pleasing appearance and the judges liked the
use of the blue lights against the white house.

Last years open enrollment
season turned into a race to
salvage the reputation of the
White House by fixing numerous technical bugs that crippled HealthCare.gov from its
first day. With the website now
working fairly well, sign-up
season this year is a test of
whether the program itself is
practical for the people it is
intended to serve.
New wrinkles have kept
popping up, even with seemingly simple features of the
Affordable Care Act.
For example, most current
customers who do nothing will
be automatically renewed Jan.
1 in the plan they now are in.
At this point, it looks like that
is what a majority intends to
do.
While that may sound
straightforward, its not.
By staying in their current
plans, people can get locked
into a premium increase and
miss out on lower-priced plans
for 2015. Not only that, they
also will keep their 2014 subsidies, which may be less than
what they legally would be
entitled to for next year.
Doing nothing appears to
be a particularly bad idea for
people who turned 21 this year,
according to the Center on
Budget and Policy Priorities,
a Washington group that advocates for low-income people.
Researchers at the center
estimate that 21-year-olds will
see a 58 percent increase in
the sticker price for their premiums just because theyre a

year older. An age-adjustment
factor used to compute premiums jumps substantially when
a person turns 21. A 20-yearold whose premium was $130
per month in 2014 will see
the premium climb to $205 a
month in 2015, solely because
of that years difference.
Tax-credit subsidies can
cancel out much or even all of
the impact. But if consumers
default to automatic renewal,
their tax credits will not be
updated and they will get the
same subsidy as this year.
Even in the best possible
scenario of how many people
we can expect to come in, we
will still see a substantial number
of people defaulting, said Judy
Solomon, a health care policy
expert at the center. She worries
that some young adults may get
discouraged and drop out.
Reviews of HealthCare.
gov and state health insurance
exchanges are mixed.
An Associated Press-GfK
poll this month found that 11
percent of Americans said they
or someone else in their household tried to sign up since
open enrollment began Nov.
15. Overall, 9 percent said the
insurance markets are working
extremely well or very well.
Twenty-six percent said the
exchanges are working somewhat well, and 39 percent said
they were not working well.
The remaining 24 percent said
they didnt know enough to
rate performance.
