held their wedding receptions at the hall attended Sarah and Daniels wedding reception at the hall, which is filled with a rich history of graduations, concerts, plays, roasts, and later, countless wedding receptions and parties. My favorite memory from having our reception was when we arrived at the hall and everyone was waiting outside for us with the sparklers, Sarah said with a huge smile. There were 165 in attendance for the receptions. Instead of a sit-down meal, they opted for an evening ceremony followed by an appetizer and cocktail reception. The bar was tended by various family and friends and Ted Verhoff was the DJ for the dance. Mike Nichols provided late-night sandwiches as the dance was winding down. We knew we wanted to have an evening fall ceremony and we really wanted to have our reception in a space that we felt had character, Sarah said. We appreciated the history that went with the hall and it was very important to us that we had a space that felt open and fresh. Becky Pothast, mother of the bride, said Jennings Memorial Hall is part of the great heritage of the town. See HALL, page 12

DELPHOS Two full-time firefighters and a fulltime police officer received lay-off notices Friday afternoon. Delphos Mayor Michael Gallmeier said delivery of paperwork to an additional full-time firefighter is pending. The three who received notices today will be laid off Nov. 4. The pending lay off will be 30 days from the date it is delivered. According to the Ohio Revised Code, the action also means 30 part-time firefighters and six police officers will be laid off. The fire department will be reduced by 33 employees and the police department seven. The action leaves the fire department with three fulltime firefighters and the chief and the police department with seven officers, two staff officers and three dispatchers. EMS services are not affected. The lay offs come on the heels of three others in the service department last week, a 3-hour furlough for city employees at the city building, in the maintenance department and at the water and wastewater plants. Hours in those offices were also cut three hours. The furloughs will keep approximately $15,500 in the city coffers for this years budget and if continued, will save more than $60,000 in 2014. The reduction in hours affects 27 city employees. The administration has also taken a voluntary 7 1/2-percent pay reduction. Office hours for the municipal building changed to 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Friday. Service (maintenance, wastewater and water) departments hours are from 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 7:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Friday. The city is looking at more than $1 million in red ink in the next 15 months and the administration is looking at all departments for cost-savings measures.

The majority of reported cooking fires were small and confined to a single room; however, 10 percent of the cooking fire deaths and 41 percent of the cooking fire injuries resulted from these small fires. Ranges were the equipment involved in three of every five reported home fires, 87 percent of the cooking fire deaths and 76 percent of the reported cooking fire civilian injuries.

DELPHOS October 6-12 is Fire Prevention Week and this year The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) has chosen to focus and educate the general public on kitchen fire prevention. In 2012, U.S. fire departments responded to an estimated 1,375,000 fires which resulted in 2,380 civilian fire deaths equating to one civilian fire death every 3 hours and 4 minutes. Two-thirds of home fires involving cooking equipment began with the ignition of cooking materials such as fat, grease, cooking oil and related substances, which were first ignited in one-half of the home cooking fires. Seventy-two percent of the civilian deaths and 77 percent of the injuries associated with cooking material or food ignitions resulted from fat, grease or cooking oil fires. Delphos Fire Department Platoon Chief Don Moreo said that since the beginning of the year, the department has responded to 195 fire incidents, one of which was attributed to unattended cooking.

Food cooking in a dry skillet ignited, Moreo described the scene. Although there was not a lot of fire damage, the amount of smoke in the kitchen and throughout the house caused a large amount of cleanup costs. Moreo said there have been no injuries or deaths associated with any fires. U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commissions (CPSCs) study of range fires shows that frying foods tops the list of cooking material ignitions and accounts for 63 percent of the 218 reported range top cooking material ignitions. Eighty-three percent of the food ignitions by frying occurred during the first 15 minutes of cooking. Grease fires will ignite when left unattended, Moreo detailed. The temperature of the oil heats up and turns into vapor. The vapor

reaches its ignition point, flashes and ignites. Clothing was the item first ignited in less than 1 percent of these fires but clothing ignitions led to 16 percent of the home cooking equipment fire deaths. When cooking, it is important to wear short, close-fitting, or tightly-rolled sleeves. Loose clothing can dangle onto stove burners and can catch fire if it comes in contact with a gas flame or electric burner. It is also important to keep the cooking area clean and free of combustible materials. Built-up grease can catch fire in the oven or on the stove top. Wrappers and other materials on or near the stove may also catch fire. Unattended equipment was a factor in 34 percent of reported home cooking fires. An additional 10 percent occurred when something that could catch fire was too close to the

WASHINGTON (AP) A man set himself on fire on the National Mall in the nations capital as passers-by rushed over to help put out the flames, officials and witnesses said Friday afternoon. The reason for the selfimmolation was not immediately clear and the mans identity was not disclosed. But it occurred in public view, on a central national gathering place, in a city still rattled by a mass shooting last month and a high-speed car chase outside the U.S. Capitol on Thursday that ended with a woman being shot dead by police with a young child in the car. The man on the Mall suffered life-threatening injuries and was airlifted to the hospital, said District of Columbia fire department spokesman Tim Wilson. He was standing by himself in the center portion of the Mall when he emptied the contents of a red gasoline can on himself and set himself on fire moments later, said Katy Scheflen, who witnessed it as she walked across the area. Police say they responded around 4:20 p.m. Friday. Scheflen said the man was clearly alive as the fire spread, and passing joggers took off their shirts in an effort to help put out the flames. It was not clear who actually extinguished the flames. A police department spokesman said the man was conscious and breathing at the scene. MedStar Washington Hospital Center tweeted that the man was taken there and he was in critical condition Friday night.

The library and The Delphos Herald are teaming up this month for the Read One Program which promotes literacy. We are encouraging all Delphos area residents to visit the library and check out at least one book this month. The patron then may send the title and author of the book to The Herald or may turn the information in the Read One container at the library. We would love to fill the container to the rim! The Page Turners Book Club will meet at 10 a.m. on Oct. 12 at the library to discuss The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot. The club is always welcoming new members and meets on the second Saturday of each month. DVDs added to the collection this month: Adventures in Odyssey: Live Admission Amour Back to the Sea Emperor The Great Gatsby Love is all you need Mud No place on Earth Now you see me Snitch Teen Beach Movie Thomas & Friends: King of the Railway Tom and Jerrys Giant Adventure Video Pizza: How to make pizza at home Music CDs The Blessed Unrest by Sara Bareilles Songs from St. Somewhere by Jimmy Buffett Kids Bop 24 Now thats what I call music 47 Under the Covers by Gretchen Wilson Books on CD Never Go Back by Lee Child A Cruise to Die for by Charlotte Elkins W is for Wasted by Sue Grafton Fiction Deadline by Sandra Brown Dawson Scott is a wellrespected journalist recently returned from Afghanistan. Haunted by everything he experienced, hes privately suffering from battle fatigue which is a threat to every aspect of his life. But then he gets a call from a source within the FBI. A new development has come to light in a story that began 40 years ago. It could be the big story of Dawsons career! Soon, Dawson is covering the disappearance and presumed murder of former Marine Jeremy Wesson, the biological son of the pair of terrorists who remain on the FBIs Most Wanted list. As Dawson delves into the story, he finds himself developing feelings for Wessons ex-wife, Amelia, and her two young sons. But when Amelias nanny turns up dead, the case takes a stunning new turn, with Dawson himself becoming a suspect. Haunted by his own demons, Dawson takes up the chase for the notorious outlaws and the secret, startling truth about himself. Never Go Back by Lee Child Former military cop Jack Reacher makes it all the way from snowbound South Dakota to his destination in northeastern Virginia, near Washington, D.C.: the headquarters of his old unit, the 110th MP. The old stone building is the closest thing to a home he ever had. Reacher is there to meetin person the new commanding officer, Major Susan Turner, so far just a warm, intriguing voice on the phone. But it isnt Turner behind the COs desk. And Reacher is hit with two pieces of shocking news, one with serious criminal consequences, and one too personal to even think about. Kiss Me by Jan Romes Running late for her spoiled stepsisters bachelorette party, Lacy Goodlow is forced to speedsnagging a hefty traffic ticket and the interest of Officer Jared Kelly. Their paths collide again in the middle of the bachelorette party when Lacy plays an embarrassing game of Fact or Fun and she hands him a napkin that simply says Kiss Me. A full-blown attraction takes off, but so does conflict once its revealed that Jared and Lacys stepsister, Angela, had a tumultuous fling and she still claims territorial rights. The author is a resident of Fort Jennings. This is a wonderful read. Kings Mountain: A Ballad Novel by Sharyn McCrumb John Sevier had not taken much interest in the American Revolution. Homesteading in the Carolina mountains, Sevier was too busy fighting Indians and taming the wilderness to worry much about a far-off war, but when an arrogant British officer sends a message over the mountains, threatening to burn the settlers farms and kill their families, the war becomes personal. That abrasive officer is British Army Major Patrick Ferguson, who is both charmingly antagonistic and surprisingly endearing. The younger son of a Scottish earl, Ferguson suffers constant misfortunes, making his dedication and courage count for nothing. When he loses the use of his arm from an injury at Brandywine, his commander sends him south, away from the warwhich, in 1780, George Washington and the Continental Army are losing. Ordered to recruit wealthy Southern planters to the British cause, A. J. Hawk can isolate the game of his life, the 2006 Fiesta Bowl against Notre Dame, not because of individual statistics, but because of what the game represented. I think the fact that it was the end of an amazing four yearsfour big Bowl wins; three Michigan wins; lots of victories in those four years; and an amazing group of teammates and coachesis why it felt like the game of my life, Hawk said. Jan White has a different reason for the game of his life: He scored his first touchdown as a Buckeye, playing a position he didnt necessarily want to play. It became a footrace I was determined to win, White says of his 72-yard reception from Rex Kern against Northwestern in 1968. Whoever they are and whatever the reason, there always is the game in a players memory bank. The folks, whose stories are chronicled in Game of My Life Ohio State Buckeyes, tell you why a certain game was the best, providing the detail, the color, and the emotion that only a player can share. Football fans, most especially those cardcarrying members of Buckeye Nation, will be enlightened and entertained by these stories. Buckeye greats such as Archie Griffin, Cris Carter, Mike Lanese, and Bob Hoying relive their legendary momentsfrom the sidelines to the huddle, from the depths of impending defeat to the pinnacle of glory. It just doesnt get any better.

Do you know the difference between education and experience? Education is when you read the fine print; experience is what you get when you dont. Pete Seeger, American folksinger

Facebook follies, etc.


Im sure what Im about to tell you is nothing you havent heard before. Beware of whats posted on Facebook. People use the social network for all kinds of things. They keep in touch with family, they share photos and other media, they us it as a soapbox for their views and its a forum for upcoming events. What you dont know is if what people say on their status is true. Im not calling anyone a liar, I just know that embellishment is much easier if you dont have to look someone in the eye while you are spinning tales. You also have to be careful what you say about co-workers, family, etc. Even though you may not have the person you are talking about in your friends list, they may be in someones who comments on your post and the next thing you know, everybody knows. Here are five dos and five donts concerning Facebook from hongkiat.com Do: Message private matters instead of posting on the wall Be mindful of what you post Call rather than post personal news Reply to comments, especially if they are questions Avoid posting comments on every post Dont Make friend requests to strangers Tag your friends in unglam shots Overshare yourself Vent about work Post chain status updates On another matter entirely, Im getting concerned at the number of thefts from vehicles. What

NANCY SPENCER

On the Other hand


sticks out to me on these police reports is that fact that either the vehicle is unlocked and/or the structure housing the vehicle is unlocked. We all know these are crimes of opportunity. If you take the opportunity away, you have less crime. Pretty simple. I used to make unlocked in the reports bold or all-caps or italicized. I kept thinking that if I draw attention to the fact that we need to be proactive in some cases it might do some good. However, fast forward to today and people are still leaving their purses, wallets, tables, laptops and GPS units in their unlocked vehicles and unsavory characters are walking by, seeing them, opening the door and taking them. We are making it entirely too easy for other people to steal from and take what we work hard to get. Lock your cars, people. Those who steal from vehicles dont usually mess with ones that are locked unless there is something pretty special they see inside. Its time-consuming and too noisy to break a window or windshield out of a vehicle. They dont want to draw attention to the fact that they are doing something wrong. Ill step down off my soapbox now. Thanks for listening.

Income inequality gap grows


BY BYRON MCNUTT Vilas County New Review The pay structure of the professional sports leagues such as the NFL, the NBA and the MLB seem to be a microcosm of the overall U.S. economy. That being the rich get richer at the expense of the middle class. The top 1 percent get a disproportionate share of the pie. U.S. income inequality has been growing for nearly three decades, according to IRS figures studies by University of CaliforniaBerkeley economists. Ill get back to the pro sports comparison a little later. There seems to be a growing resentment in America about this income inequality. A successful economic system works best when the middle class is healthy and growing. That is not the case today. We should be concerned about that to a great extent. Our middle class is shrinking for a number of reasons, mostly through no fault of their own. Many middle class families are treading water, if not losing ground. Lower income families are slipping below poverty levels. They feel a frustration with the situation. Surveys show 42 percent of Americans consider themselves middle class. The last five years, our incomes have stagnated making it hard to maintain our standard of living. We can understand the current culture of income distribution. The focus is on rewarding the top performers, the risk takers. We can also sense a growing tension, an unease building among the middle class. Thats not healthy and will make sustaining the status quo very difficult down the road. Since the Great Recession ended in 2009, incomes for the top 1 percent has risen 31.4 percent while incomes for the other 99 percent rose only 0.4 percent, according to an academic study released earlier in September. The study said the wealthiest 1 percent of Americans earned more than 19 percent of the countrys household income last year. The top 10 percent captured a record 48.2 percent of total earnings in 2012. A big part of this was because the wealthiest Americans have enjoyed recovering stock gains and increasing dividend payouts. Heres a typical example of this economic cycle. A few weeks ago, International Paper announced a $1.5 billion stock buyback and a plan to raise its dividend by 17 percent. Both will reward shareholders. A few days later, the company announced plans to lay off 10,000 employees by closing a paper mill in Alabama. See INEQUALITY, page 12

One day at a time. Thats the key to staying sober. Oct. 8 is my two-year sobriety anniversary. I honestly cant believe it. At times, its seems like every day just dragged on and on but now that its been two years, it feels as if it went so fast. Im the proudest of myself that Ive ever been. Getting sober wasnt easy. I should have done it long before I did. Like most people whove quit drinking, I had to really hit rock bottom to realize the only solution was to quit. Every day is still a challenge, but its the best decision Ive ever made. No one can really prepare you for what its like to live sober, though, after youve been used to a drinking lifestyle. I never understood what a focal point alcohol was in my life until I quit. Fall is my favorite season. I used to strongly associate it with the seasonal beers that come out every year, the pumpkin ales and Oktoberfest brews. I looked forward to this. They were my favorite and I cant say that my heart doesnt ache a little when I pass them in the grocery store. But I also now associate fall with my getting sober. It was a glorious time. My Sobriety Honeymoon, as my therapist calls it. I completely changed my life. I started doing yoga every day. I woke up early. I began

One day at a time


to teach myself how to play guitar. I became obsessed with tea different varieties and flavors drinking that instead of beer or wine or liquor. I sat outside on our back porch and breathed in the crisp air, gazed at the changing colors of leaves and looked at the sun shining down through the tree in our yard, casting a soft glow of rays onto the ground. I sipped my tea. In that moment, I was content. I was sober and I was content. Happy, even. Sublimely happy. I took walks around town. I started walking often. It invigorated me. I felt brandnew, like I was learning how to live again. I was discovering life again. The biggest thing that came out of this life change was my writing. As soon as I got sober, I began writing furiously. I couldnt stop. The words poured out of me. The ideas came faster than I could keep up with. I will forever remember my early days of sobriety as being magical. Full of fall leaves and my most prolific writing period to date. Now, for today. Well, the honeymoon is over. It ended a long time ago. Real life began. I lost interest in yoga. And the guitar. I no longer started waking up early and looking forward to the new day. I do still drink tea, how-

ever. The thing is, sobriety is hard. Its an emotional roller coaster. Its not even describable to another person unless he or she has experienced it. For me, it is a struggle every day. I believe it will be for the rest of my life. Sometimes it just feels surreal. Do I really not drink? Will I really not drink ever again? Thats when I feel myself on the verge of a panic attack. And this is why they say to take it one day at a time. Thats hard for me to do. Yet its the only way to do this and survive. The Serenity Prayer is my most valuable resource. I bought a necklace with the entire thing printed on it. I love it. I need the constant reminder. Even though this is the most difficult thing Ive ever done, its also the most rewarding. Had I continued down the path I was on before I made this change, I would no longer be married. Who knows what else would have happened. So now, two years later, I can say that its been a ride. Both good and bad. The good far outweighs the bad, and the bad is usually temptation to drink. Every time I resist it is a victory. And thats what its about. The small victories. Every day, one day at a time.

Hello, fellow Virginians! No, I am not lost; and yes, I can read a map. The reason you might be confused is that I am going back in time to July 4, 1776. Yes, Virginia covered an area that included several states West Virginia, Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois and parts of Pennsylvania and Michigan. Why is that significant? I just returned home yesterday from our latest excursion with MPH Tours. We toured the mansion and estate of our third US President, Thomas Jefferson, better known to many as Monticello. I have been here many times and find the breadth of his genius fascinating with each visit. I wonder what he would say about our current events in Washington. I recently read an op-ed stating that politicians can be characterized more by those involved in the oldest profession known to man rather than as one following a noble pursuit. But back to postal history. Benjamin Franklin is one of the first names everyone thinks of when it comes to the postal service of the colonial period. Yes, he was the first Postmaster General of the United States but not the first after the creation of the USA with the ratification of the Constitution. But lets go back to the very beginning. In 1607, you had Jamestown as an English settlement. At that time, people relied on friends, family, Native Americans and slaves to transport letters between the colonies. Truthfully, most correspondence ran between the colonists and England. In 1639, the first official notice of a postal service in the colonies came from the General Court of Massachusetts. It designated

Williamsburg
Richard Fairbanks tavern in Boston as the official repository of mail brought from or to overseas. As was the practice in England and many other nations, coffee houses and taverns served as mail drops. In 1673, the governor of New York set up a monthly post between New York City and Boston. In 1683, William Penn established the very first post office in Pennsylvania. It was some time before the service became more organized when Thomas Neale, an Englishman, purchased the rights to run the service in 1691. Neale received a franchise or contract to operate for 21 years at a cost equivalent to only $.80 per year. Ironically Neale never stepped foot in America and he hired Andrew Hamilton of New Jersey to be Deputy Postmaster General. Just eight years after receiving the franchise, Hamilton died heavily in debt. Another eight years and Hamiltons widow and a gentleman named R. West sold the rights back to the crown. John Hamilton (Andrews son) took over that operation until 1721 when he was succeeded by John Lloyd of South Carolina. A former Lt. Governor of Virginia, Alexander Spotswood assumed the post as Deputy Postmaster General in 1730. His most notable achievement was the appointment of Benjamin Franklin as postmaster of Philadelphia in 1737. Franklin was only 31 years old at the time, the struggling printer and publisher of The Pennsylvania Gazette. Two more Virginia statesmen served as Deputy Postmaster Generals before Franklin: Head Lynch in 1739

and Elliot Benger in 1743. When Benger died in 1753, Franklin and William Hunter, postmaster of Williamsburg, Va., were appointed by the Crown as Joint Postmasters General for the colonies. Hunter died in 1761, and John Foxcroft of New York succeeded him. However, the beginning of the revolution had a profound effect on that. In 1774, colonists were beginning to distrust the Royal Post and moved swiftly to dissolve that relationship. The King fired Franklin for his political concepts. Shortly after, William Goddard, a printer and newspaper publisher set up a Constitutional Post for intercolonial mail service. Colonies funded it by subscription and net revenues were to be used to improve the postal service rather than to be paid back to the subscribers. By 1775, when the Continental Congress met at Philadelphia, Goddards colonial post was flourishing, and 30 post offices operated between Portsmouth, New Hampshire and Williamsburg. While visiting the Jamestown Settlement and Colonial Williamsburg this week, it became very evident that the colonists were not at all prepared for the rigors of mail delivery. Thanks to all of you who attended our fundraising trip to Virginia. We certainly hope you enjoyed our tour.

Buzards 5 TDs paces Jefferson past Knights


By JIM METCALFE Staff Writer jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com DELPHOS Every time Jefferson needed to rally against Crestview, they did so Friday night. The Wildcats then put it away with 13 points in the fourth period to finally subdue the Knights 34-21 in Northwest Conference gridiron action on Homecoming Night at wet Stadium Park. Tied at 21-21, the Wildcats (6-0, 4-0 NWC) used a Ross Thompson interception of Preston Zaleski and subsequent 17-yard return (to Crestviews 38) at the end of the third period to score the go-ahead touchdown. Senior tailback Zavier Buzard (24 totes, 175 yards, 5 scores) the lone running back in the Wildcats shotgun spread offense took a counter inside left guard and got great blocking at the point of attack as he found wide-open spaces to the end zone just eight ticks into the fourth. Kurt Wollenhaupts kick was wide left as the Wildcats led 27-21. Malcolm Oliver returned the kickoff 56 yards to the Delphos 29 but an illegal formation penalty one of nine penalties on the Knights for 70 yards versus 10 for 86 for the hosts set them back and they could not covert a fourth-and-1 at the 20. The teams traded punts, with the Red and White commencing their next drive at the 45 with 5:18 remaining. With all but one of the 12 plays a run a 20-yard connection from Austin Jettinghoff (13-of-24 passing, 118 yards) to Joe Gorman (2 catches, 30 yards) the Wildcats put it away as Buzard took a sweep off the left end and found the end zone with 22 ticks left. Wollenhaupt tacked on the final point. Josh Teman picked off Zaleskis desperation heave at the horn. We did some uncharacteristic things we havent done all year; turn the ball over. Again, it was a team effort against a team we knew would be tough to beat, Jefferson coach Bub Lindeman noted. Our defense did a nice job of limiting their running game, our offense responded and never let them add to their lead and we got some nice plays out of our special teams; it was all three facets. Crestview coach Jared Owens gave credit where it was due. Sometimes, you have to tip your cap to players making great plays, he explained. We throw a pick at the end of the third when their guy is standing on the line of scrimmage and he makes a great effort. Thats what it comes down to; we played a great team. The Wildcats turned it over on their very first play from scrimmage Jettinghoffs first interception of the season as Isaiah Simerman did the honors at the Delphos 41. Four plays later at the 3 set up by a 32-yard Zaleski (9-of-16 passing, 151 yards) aerial to Oliver Oliver took a handoff inside right tackle and powered to the end zone. Kameron Grubaugh kicked the point-after for a 7-0 edge with 9:58 left in the first.

Crappie are becoming more active as the water cools this fall; Fishing with minnows in the old creek channel or around woody cover is best. Bluegill are also being taken around aquatic vegetation and cover using wax worms and redworms. OShaughnessy Reservoir (Delaware County) - This 912-acre reservoir north of Columbus is a good place to catch largemouth bass and channel catfish. For largemouth bass, try tubes and creature baits around shoreline cover targeting drop-offs and points. Channel catfish can be caught on cut baits, nightcrawlers and shrimp fished on the bottom. Crappie are also being caught around woody cover using minnows and jigs. NORTHWEST OHIO Killdeer Plains Pond #33 (Wyandot County) - This pond is located northeast of the village of Marseilles, 1 mile east of SR 67 on former County Road 75. Now is a good time to try for largemouth bass. Anglers usually have the best success early in the morning along the south dike and on the fishing piers; try fishing with a jig-and-pig slowly off points, logs and other structure, or casting buzzbaits over weedbeds. The pond has a boat ramp with a floating dock; boats are limited to 10-HP motors. Shore fishing is available from the dike and piers; wading along the north shore is also popular. Willard Reservoir (Huron County) - Walleye and perch should be biting now at the reservoir which is located on SR 61, 2 miles north of New Haven. As the water temperature begins to cool this fall, fish for walleye along the contour breaks locate throughout the reservoir; try casting diving crankbaits and jigs with minnows or vertical jigging blade bits. Anglers can fish from shore or from a boat. There is a boat ramp available but only electric motors may be used; a boat permit must be obtained from the city of Willard at City Hall. For maps and fishing forecast, visit the Divisions website at wildohio.com. NORTHEAST OHIO Berlin Lake (Stark/Mahoning/ Portage counties) - Anglers are seeing some good action here. Vibees and jig-and-minnow combos are producing mixed bags of fish, including mostly walleye, crappie and white bass; anglers are also having success catching black bass, leaning heavily on crankbaits, jigs and top-water baits. Lake Erie tributary streams (Ashtabula/Cuyahoga/Lake/Lorain counties) - Reports are flowing in of steelhead trout being caught in the rivers and streams in northeast Ohio. Ohios primary steelhead streams are Vermilion, Rocky, Chagrin and Grand Rivers and Conneaut Creek. Several other rivers, including the Ashtabula, Cuyahoga, Huron and Black rivers, and Arcola, Cowles, Wheeler,

Fish Ohio

French, Euclid, Turkey, Beaver and Cold creeks, get runs of stray steelhead. Popular baits this time of year include casting spoons, jigand-maggots, spawn sac bags and other live bait. SOUTHEAST OHIO Dillon Lake (Muskingum County) - Cooler weather can mean some great opportunities to catch largemouth bass in this 1,376-acre lake; try using spinner baits, jigs or crankbaits that imitate gizzard shad or crayfish. Fall is also a great time to start looking for crappie again; drif- fishing with minnows is recommended to locate schools of crappie. Shovelhead and channel catfish can still be caught on suckers, small bluegill and worms. Dont overlook the Dillon tailwaters this time of year as saugeye and hybrid-striped bass fishing can be very good. Hammertown Lake (Jackson City Reservoir) (Jackson County) Fishing should be picking up in this 157-acre lake and will continue to improve as the water temperatures cool, especially in the bay area and in the evening hours. Largemouth bass are feeding heavily this time of year preparing for winter; to capitalize on this feeding frenzy, try using lures that imitate forage fish and crayfish. Spinner baits or any topwater lures like buzzbaits or floating Rapalas are good choices this time of year. Remember that there is a 5-fish limit for largemouth, smallmouth and spotted bass at this lake and that none may be taken between 12-15 inches. For channel catfish, use chicken livers or nightcrawlers fished on the bottom. SOUTHWEST OHIO Great Miami River (Miami/ Montgomery/Warren counties) Smallmouth bass fishing can be excellent as the water cools and river conditions remain clear and stable. Look for areas with water deeper than 4 feet around bridge pilings, submerged logs and undercut banks; try drifting a live nightcrawler or minnow fished under a bobber. Plastic crayfish or crank baits in crawdad patterns are also effective. Rocky Fork Lake (Highland County) - Saugeyes are being taken in 8- to 15-foot depths near the islands and along main lake points; try trolling silver-colored crank baits so that the lure occasionally bumps bottom. Largemouth bass can be found along rocky shorelines and near fallen trees; cast jigs, rubber worms and crankbaits. OHIO RIVER Clermont County - Fishing for striped bass and catfish is hot right now. Fish above or below the Meldahl Dam using chicken liver or nightcrawlers fished on the bottom. LAKE ERIE Regulations to Remember: The daily bag limit for walleye on Ohio waters of Lake Erie is 6 fish per angler; minimum size limit is 15 inches. The daily bag limit for yellow perch is 30 fish per angler on all Ohio waters of Lake Erie. The trout and salmon daily bag limit is 2 fish with a minimum size limit of 12 inches. The black bass (largemouth and smallmouth bass) daily bag limit is 5 fish per angler with a 14-inch minimum size limit.

Flyers present major issues for Blue Jays


By JIM METCALFE Staff Writer jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com DELPHOS St. Johns has had a slow first half of the 2013 season, putting together a 2-3 record, including 1-2 in the Midwest Athletic Conference. That is why Blue Jay head football coach Todd Schulte knows what his team faces as they entertain 2-time defending Division VI State Champion and top-ranked Marion Local tonight in MAC play. All the hype you hear about Marion Local, they deserve. They are a very good football team, Schulte explained. They are very balanced offensively with a 1,000-yard rusher back off of knee surgery, Jacy Goettemoeller. They have the quarterback, (6-6) Adam Bertke, who the offense revolves around. He has a ton of receivers to throw to and several with great size that really pressure a defense. Throw in a bigger than usual offensive line for them 270, 250, 240 and they are very potent on offense. They line up in the I and then can spread you out with the same personnel. Defensively, they just put so much pressure on your offense. They are physical and run to the football very well. Schulte figures that his Jays, coming off a late 34-27 victory over Anna, must get off quickly. Thats the first thing. We dont want to have to play uphill, he explained. We really have to shorten the game as much as possible by

Jettinghoff got rolling on the Wildcats next series, completing 5-of-6 passes for 48 yards to guide a 13-play, 67-yard equalizer. At the Knight 16, Buzard took a counter inside right guard, broke through traffic at the line and was off to the end zone. Wollenhaupt added the kick for a 7-7 tie with 4:59 left in the opener. After a Crestview punt, Oliver set up their next drive by picking off Jettinghoff at the visitor 39. They overcame two penalties for 20 yards aided by a personal foul on the Wildcats to score in eight plays. On first-and-goal at the Wildcat 3, Justin Overmyer powered in up the gut for the six and Grubaugh made it 14-7 with 10:46 left in the half. Zaleski found Simerman for a 30-yard connection to key the drive. Though the Wildcats couldnt respond on their next drive, they forced a 3-and-out and commenced at their 45. Buoyed by a 12-yard Jettinghoff-to-Buzard fake-punt pass from the 48 (Jettinghoff is the punter) they went the distance in six plays. At the Crestview 35, Buzard again took a counter, this time inside left guard, and once again found wide-open spaces past the line of scrimmage and was gone with 3:23 to go. Wollenhaupt tacked on the conversion for a 14-14 tie. Crestview tried to take the lead by driving from their 38 to the Jefferson 27 in seven plays but a holding call and then Trevor Dudgeons pick of Zaleski deep in Wildcat space all but

A Crestview defender cannot prevent Jefferson senior tailback Zavier Buzard from scoring his fifth touchdown Friday night. (Delphos Herald/Randy Shellenbarger) ended the half. Crestview took the second-half kickoff and marched from its 34 to paydirt in seven plays. Keyed by two Zaleski completions to Simerman for 50 yards, Zaleski finished it from the Jefferson 1 with a sneak up the gut with 8:53 showing in the third. Grubaugh made it 21-14. Again, Delphos had the reply: a 9-play, 66-yard series. On fourth-and-1 at the Knight 27, Buzard now the tailback in the power-I took a handoff inside left guard, powered through arm tackles at the line and was off to the house. Wollenhaupt made it 21-21 with 4:53 showing in the third. Austin doesnt always get the press but he does a nice job of running our offense, getting us into the right sets and making good decisions, Lindeman added. Zavier does what he does; he runs downhill and runs hard. Our offensive line once again gave him big holes to run through. We got behind the 8-ball a few times and answered each time. Drew Wannemacher recovered a fumble by Oliver on the ensuing kickoff, giving the home team possession at the Crestview 41. However, penalties hurt both sides and the Wildcats could not take advantage, turning the ball over on downs at the 29 and eventually setting up the fourth-period heroics. See CATS, page 8

Rodriguez sues, citing witch hunt


By LARRY NEUMEISTER and RONALD BLUM Associated Press NEW YORK Alex Rodriguez sued Major League Baseball and Commissioner Bud Selig, accusing them of pursuing vigilante justice as part of a witch hunt designed to smear the character of the Yankees star and cost him tens of millions of dollars. The lawsuit, filed Thursday in New York State Supreme Court, seeks unspecified compensatory and punitive damages for what it alleges was a relentless campaign by the league and Selig to destroy the reputation and career of Alex Rodriguez. The suit was filed during the first week of hearings in the grievance by the Major League Baseball Players Association to overturn the 211-game suspension of Rodriguez imposed by MLB on Aug. 5 for alleged violations of baseballs drug agreement and labor contract. The suspension stemmed from baseballs investigation of the Biogenesis of America anti-aging clinic, headed by Anthony Bosch. A decision on the grievance by arbitrator Fredric Horowitz is not likely for several months. Albert Pujols also filed a lawsuit. The Los Angeles Angels slugger sued Jack Clark on Friday over comments on a local radio show accusing the 3-time NL MVP of using steroids. The lawsuit between former Cardinals stars was filed in Circuit Court in St. Louis County, where Clark lives. It seeks unspecified damages and asks for a determination and declaration that Clarks statements are false. MLB issued a statement Friday that called Rodriguezs actions desperate and that his suit was a clear violation of the confidentiality provisions of the Joint Drug Agreement between MLB and the union. Rodriguez spokesman Ron Berkowitz shot back in a statement of his own that the leagues violation claim was preposterous. Many of the bases for the complaint filed by Mr. Rodriguez last night arise from MLBs willful and persistent violations of those very confidentiality provisions over the past six months and beyond, Berkowitz wrote. The suit claims Selig and MLB tried to smear the 3-time AL MVP reputation to gloss over Seligs past inaction on performance-enhancing drugs, which the lawsuit said had turned the Golden Age of Baseball into the Golden Age of Steroids. The lawsuit, calling baseballs probe faulty and prohibited, said Selig hoped to redeem himself and secure his legacy as the savior of Americas pastime at the expense of Rodriguez. Taking down Mr. Rodriguez would vividly demonstrate that Commissioner Selig had learned from the errors of his previous explicit or tacit tolerance of steroid use, the lawsuit said. The lawsuit claimed MLB is paying Bosch $5 million in monthly installments to buy his cooperation. Federal and Florida state prosecutors are probing Bosch. Such are the lengths that Commissioner Selig and MLB have stooped to in their witch hunt against Mr. Rodriguez paying and protecting someone under investigation for providing steroids to minors, the lawsuit reads. It also accused Selig and the league of intimidating witnesses and providing cash for evidence and testimony. Joyce Fitzpatrick, a spokeswoman for Bosch, denied the allegations against her client. Mr. Bosch is cooperating fully with Major League Baseball. He did request that security be provided because he feels his life is in danger, she said. However, the allegation that he was paid for his testimony is absolutely untrue. He hasnt received $5, let alone $5 million. The lawsuit reads that two potential sponsors Nike Inc. and Toyota Motor

grinding out first downs and not giving up the big plays. We got a big win last week on the road. I dont like using the term must-in for a game but that was as close to it as you can get. We needed it for our self-confidence and our mental approach. A win can overcome a lot of things and it gave us a hop to our step in practice. We had a solid week of practice again this week; we have to hope we can carry it over like we did last week. Kickoff tonight is 7:30 p.m.

Corp. have terminated negotiations with Rodriguez for potential sponsorship contracts and Rodriguezs voice work as a hero for an animated movie, Henry & Me, has been cut. The movie chronicles the Yankees history and features baseball stars, past and present. There are two legal claims made in the suit: that MLB and Selig interfered with Rodriguezs existing contracts and that they interfered with his prospective business relationships. Baseballs gratuitous leaks and public statements concerning Mr. Rodriguezs alleged actions have ensured that Mr. Rodriguez will not secure any endorsement contracts in the future, the lawsuit continues. The suit accuses the league and Selig of planting negative stories about Rodriguez in the media and trying to muddy his name and intentionally and maliciously subject him to a trial in the public arena. MLBs public persecution of Mr. Rodriguez has known no bounds, the lawsuit claimed, adding the league had repeatedly breached confidentiality itself and went as far as to place negative news stories about Mr. Rodriguez one of the leagues best players on his very own website. The actions, the lawsuit continued, were consistent with Bud Seligs goal of cementing his legacy as the commissioner who cleaned up baseball. In its statement, the league said none of the allegations is relevant to the real issue: whether Mr. Rodriguez violated the Joint Drug Prevention and Treatment Program by using and possessing numerous forms of prohibited performanceenhancing substances, including testosterone and human growth hormone, over the course of multiple years and whether he violated the Basic Agreement by attempting to cover up his violations of the program by engaging in a course of conduct intended to obstruct and frustrate the Office of the Commissioners investigation.

Cole, Pirates reverse roles, Harvick qualifies on pole top Cards, tie series for Cup race at Kansas
By R.B. FALLSTROM Associated Press ST. LOUIS Gerrit Cole and the Pittsburgh Pirates played a game of role reversal and pulled even with the St. Louis Cardinals. The hard-throwing rookie gave up two hits in six dominant innings and also had an RBI in his postseason debut, Pedro Alvarez homered for the second straight day and the Pirates beat the Cardinals 7-1 Friday to even their NL division series at one game apiece. Just what weve been seeing all year, Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said. You saw a focused man that was ready to go. A day after St. Louis got a strong effort from its starter and took advantage of mistakes to romp 9-1 in the opener, the Pirates showed poise for their first playoff win since 1992 while the Cardinals looked tentative in the field. The Pirates now head home for Game 3 Sunday in the best-of-5 series. Wildcard game winner Francisco Liriano faces Cardinals right-hander Joe Kelly. Cole faced the Cardinals for the first time and left most of them shaking their heads, striking out five and walking one. After allowing Carlos Beltrans double with one out in the first, the 22-year-old retired 11 straight before Yadier Molina led off the fifth with his third career postseason homer. Relying on a fastball that peaked at 99 mph on the stadium radar gun and one that TBS had at 100, Cole had hitters helpless at times even without shadows that benefited pitchers early in Game 1. I just trusted myself and tried to keep it as simple as I could, Cole said. You just try and clear you mind after every pitch and just look forward. When he got in the least bit of trouble, Cole ignored chants from a second straight sellout crowd at Busch Stadium. You just have to take a deep breath, Cole added. Rip off the rear-view mirror on the car. Cardinals starter Lance Lynn needed some help. He hasnt lasted long enough to qualify for the victory in any of his three career postseason starts and yielded five runs and seven hits in 4 1/3 innings. It was a bad game, Lynn said. I made four bad pitches for four extra-base hits. When I made a mistake with the fastball, they were ready for it. Lynn was manager Mathenys choice for Game 2 ahead of rookies Shelby Miller and Michael Wacha, the decision based on the right-handers strong September and 9-3 record at home. Wacha (4-1, 2.78) will oppose Charlie Morton (7-4, 3.26) in Game 4 Monday. Alvarez doubled and scored on Coles single in the second to put the Pirates ahead eighth-place hitter Jordy Mercer was walked intentionally ahead of Cole. Alvarez then hit a 418-foot, 2-run homer in the third. Pirates pitchers totaled 10 RBIs during the season and Cole had five of them, including two in his final start. Third baseman David Freese dropped Marlon Byrds pop fly for an error in gusting wind in the seventh inning, leading to a run. Lynn made it to the fifth for the first time but just barely. Miller warmed up in the third and Lynn was yanked with one out after back-to-back doubles by Justin Morneau and Byrd that put the Pirates up 5-0, followed by a 4-pitch walk to Alvarez that gave reliever Seth Maness a little more time to warm up. Miller worked the eighth and gave up a homer to Starling Marte. Liriano is 4-0 with a 1.16 career ERA in four starts against the Cardinals. Kelly (10-5, 2.69) thrived as a fill-in starter for the second straight season and won eight straight decisions. NOTES: Injured Cardinals pitcher Chris Carpenter threw the first pitch to his son, Sam, and was accompanied to the mound by his daughter, Ava. Daniel Descalso made the last out in the second inning and the first out in the Cardinals NL division series-record seven-run third in Game 1. Molinas last postseason homer came in Game 7 of the 2006 NLCS against the Mets. Associated Press KANSAS CITY, Kan. Kevin Harvick turned the fastest lap in qualifying for Sundays race at Kansas Speedway and will sit on the pole for the first time since the 2006 season. Harvick, who is tied for fourth in points, negotiated brutal crosswinds entering Turn 3 that ruined several good qualifying runs to post a lap of 187.526 mph on Friday. Ricky Stenhouse Jr. was second-fastest at 187.480 mph, followed by Jimmie Johnson with a lap of 187.162 mph. Harvick was fastest in practice earlier in the day and his first pole since Sept. 17, 2006, gives him the first pit stall for Sundays race. That could prove especially important at a place where track position is of the utmost importance. Points leader Matt Kenseth qualified seventh. Bowyer finding some peace as he returns to Kansas: To some, Clint Bowyer has become a pariah. To those in Kansas, hes still one of their own. The native of Emporia, Kan., insists his spin at Richmond that set off a chain of events that rattled NASCAR to its core was unintentional. NASCAR failed to prove that Bowyer was attempting to manipulate the finish to get teammate Martin Truex Jr. into the Chase for the Championship. But the fallout from Richmond still resulted in harsh sanctions against his Michael Waltrip Racing organization that included knocking Truex out of the Chase. In the eyes of some, the whole situation turned Bowyer from one of the most popular drivers in the series to one worthy of contempt. Not at Kansas, though, where hes still as popular as ever. Patrick, Stenhouse join up for country music video: NASCAR power couple Danica Patrick and Ricky Stenhouse Jr. tested out their acting chops in a country music video for Colt Fords new single Drivin Around Song. In the video, Patrick and Ford are waiting for Stenhouse, playing an auto repair man, to fix their broken-down vehicle. Patrick flirts with Stenhouse and then steals a set of keys to an all-terrain vehicle parked outside, then takes Ford on a spin through Mooresville, N.C. Patrick said she was not acting when she flirted with Stenhouse, whom shes been dating for a while. When I look at him I smile, she explained, so that was not hard. Patrick is certainly accustomed to mainstream spotlight. Shes graced numerous magazine covers and been involved in countless photo shoots, not to mention prominently displayed in the sometimes racy Super Bowl commercials for her sponsor, GoDaddy. The attention is a little more new to Stenhouse, a Sprint Cup rookie, which makes it a bit odd that hes the one who has to deliver some lines in the video. Patrick never speaks. Its cool to see it out. It was a lot of fun to do. It was a beautiful day in Mooresville that day, Patrick said. Those are the fun things that you get to do outside of the car. I enjoyed that, that was good fun and obviously I had a pretty hot mechanic working on the car. Ford, whose real name is Jason Brown, released his first album in 2008. He also co-wrote and originally recorded the song Dirt Road Anthem that Brantley Gilbert turned into a hit. His styles a fusion of country and rap, and it seems to suit Patrick just fine. I grew up listening to rap, she added. I like rap, especially the kind of rap you can understand. 79-year-old Hylton says good bye to racing: James Hylton gingerly climbed out of his No. 48 car after an ARCA test at Kansas Speedway on Friday and nobody could blame him for moving a little bit slower than his competitors. Hes 79 years old, after all. The oldest driver to race in each of NASCARs three highest divisions, Hylton was calling it a career after Friday nights race. The Cup rookie of the year in 1966, Hylton has spent the last several years of his career racing in the ARCA series. I know its going to be very painful, especially the way this car drives. To be out there running with some of the top guys before Id see them disappear, now I can keep them in sight, Hylton told The Associated Press. Its a tremendous feeling. To know at the end of the day itll all be kind of like a dream. Itll be gone but Im going to make the best of it. Hyltons friends put together a car they believe can compete at Kansas and it even sports a gold paint scheme that honors the early years of his racing career. Im retiring at the end of the day,but my heart is wanting to keep going, he said. But its a done deal. I wont be back as a driver. Born on his familys farm in Virginia in 1934, Hyltons family had to work hard to make ends meet during the Depression. Hylton remembers toiling in the fields all day to help out. He started driving in his fathers Ford Model T his brother taught him how to work the pedals. And from that humble beginning, Hylton embarked on a winding career in motorsports. He served as a mechanic for Rex White and then a crew chief for Ned Jarrett in the early days of NASCAR, then got back behind the wheel and placed second in the Cup standings in 1966. Hylton also finished second in points to Richard Petty in 1967 and 71 and won twice in more than 600 Cup starts: at Richmond in 1970 and Talladega in 1972. In all, the good-natured Hylton racked up 140 top-five finishes and 321 top-10s in the Cup series. Every time I see him out there in that 48, it brings a smile to my face, Jimmie Johnson said. He got that number off to a good start. Hes truly passionate and loves our sport and its nice to see him out there one last time. When asked what he hoped to be doing at age 79, Johnson replied: Breathing. I admire anybody thats out on the track, Jeff Gordon added with a smile, whether theyre at full speed or whatever minimal speed. I think it says a lot about someone who wants to go out there and has a passion to do that especially now working with AARP. Hylton announced at Daytona in February that he would be retiring at the end of the season and NASCAR president Mike Helton joined ARCA president Ron Drager in presenting him a framed photo commemorating his six decades in racing on Friday morning. Hes accomplished a tremendous amount, Drager said. We couldnt be prouder that he chose to finish his career with ARCA. Hylton is hanging up his helmet but he intends to stick around the sport. He owns his own team and wants to turn it over to a younger driver, and he has friends who own a local track in South Carolina who have promised to let him get his racing fix. Im not going to retire complete to where I dont want to try a racecar out, Hylton added. Ill go down there in the middle of the week and do me some laps so I just totally dont forget about it. As far as competition is concerned, Im done. Kimmel wraps up 10th ARCA title before Kansas race: Frank Kimmel wrapped up his record 10th ARCA championship before Friday nights race at Kansas Speedway simply by turning practice laps earlier in the day. That gave Kimmel enough points to secure the points title before the season finale. Kimmel won his first championship in 1998 and at one point won eight straight. But he hadnt won the title since 2007 and went a couple of years without even winning a race. Kimmel added there were times he wondered whether he would ever get to Victory Lane again but last year he bounced back to finish second to Chris Buescher in the championship. He has 79 career wins, tied with Iggy Katona for the most in ARCA, and has won twice at Kansas.

Red Sox win ALDS opener 12-2


By JIMMY GOLEN Associated Press BOSTON One ball fell between two outfielders. Another took a bad hop off the Green Monster standings. One batter reached safely on a dropped third strike and another when the pitcher was slow to cover first. By the time it was over, the Boston Red Sox had scored five runs in the fourth inning, taking advantage of Tampa Bays bad luck and bad defense to overcome an early deficit and beat the Rays 12-2 on Friday in Game 1 of the AL division series. Needing a 163rd game to earn a wild-card berth, the Rays won three winor-go-home games in three different cities to reach this series. Now they need a victory in Game 2 on Saturday to tie the best-offive series before it shifts to St. Petersburg, Fla., for Games 3 and 4. Jon Lester allowed three hits in 7 2-3 innings for the AL East champions, giving up solo homers to Sean Rodriguez and Ben Zobrist to spot the Rays a 2-0 lead through the top of the fourth. Tampa Bay starter Matt Moore had still not given up a hit. But Dustin Pedroia led off the bottom half with a single up the middle, and then David Ortiz hit a high fly ball that center fielder Desmond Jennings and right fielder Wil Myers converged on. The Rays rookie raised his right hand to call off Jennings but let it fall behind him and bounce off the warning track and into the bullpen for a double. With a derisive cheer of Myers echoing through the ballpark, Mike Napoli popped up to second base for the first out before Gomes hit a fly ball that scraped the left-field wall on the way down. Pedroia held to tag up, then scored easily with Ortiz coming in just a few steps behind him to make it 2-2. Jarrod Saltalamacchia struck out before Stephen Drew hit a slow hopper to first that James Loney fielded and flicked to Moore. But the pitchers foot came down a split second after Drews; with Moore facing the wrong way, Gomes never slowed down as he rounded third and scored without a throw. Will Middlebrooks followed with a line drive to left that took a bad hop off the Monster where the AL East standings are posted, and it got past Rodriguez on the rebound. That allowed Drew to score and make it 4-2, while Middlebrooks went into second with a double. Jacoby Ellsbury reached on a passed ball on strike three which would have been the third out of the inning and Middlebrooks moved to third, where he scored on Shane Victorinos single to make it 5-2. None of the misplays was scored an error. The Red Sox added three more runs to chase Moore in the fifth inning, when they sent nine batters to the plate the first time in franchise history they have batted around

in consecutive innings in a postseason game. In all, Moore was charged with eight runs seven earned on eight hits, two walks a hit batter and a wild pitch, striking out four in 4 1-3 innings. Lester struck out the first four batters he faced, but gave up homers over the Monster to Rodriguez in the second and Zobrist in the fourth. In all, he allowed three hits and three walks while striking out seven before leaving with two on and two out in the eighth. Junichi Tazawa got Myers on a line drive to right to end the eighth, and extra starter Ryan Dempster got the last three outs. Victorino had three hits and Saltalamacchia had three RBIs for the Red Sox, who tied for the best record in baseball this season a year after finishing last. Every Boston starter got a hit and scored a run, the first time a team had done that in the postseason since Lou Gehrig, Joe DiMaggio and the Yankees in the 1936 World Series.

Braves stumble early, lose to Dodgers 6-1 in NLDS


By PAUL NEWBERRY Associated Press ATLANTA The Atlanta Braves flopped and staggered their way to another October debacle. With Dan Uggla watching from the dugout, this one was downright ugly. Clayton Kershaw struck out 12 during seven dominant innings, Adrian Gonzalez hit a two-run homer and the Los Angeles Dodgers blew out the bumbling Braves 6-1 in Game 1 of the NL division series Thursday night. The Braves havent won a postseason series since 2001, losing seven in a row, and this is going to be another short stay if they dont turn it around quickly in the best-of-five series. Kris Medlen fired up the less-thancapacity crowd of 43,021 by striking out the side in the first inning, but it was all downhill from there for the Atlanta starter. The Dodgers had a 5-0 lead by the fourth inning and put it on cruise control with Kershaw on the mound. The Braves struck out 15 times in all not all that surprising, really, for a team that tied for the third-highest total during the regular season. Game 2 is Friday night at Turner Field, with Zack Greinke (15-4) starting for the Dodgers against Mike Minor (13-9). Kershaw, who had a 1.83 ERA this year, limited the Braves to Chris Johnsons run-scoring single with two outs in the fourth. That just seemed to make the pitcher mad he struck out Andrelton Simmons to end Atlantas only serious threat, and the next five Braves hitters for good measure. Appropriately, Kershaw finished up by striking out the side in the seventh, matching his season high for Ks. He allowed just three hits. Uggla watched it all from the dugout. The three-time All-Star was left off the Braves playoff roster after a dismal season in which he batted just .179 with a franchise-record 171 strikeouts. He wasnt the only big-money flop for the Braves, who had to juggle their outfield because of B.J. Uptons seasonlong slump. After signing a five-year, $75.25 million deal during the offseason, he batted just .184 and was finally benched late in the year. Merely a backup in the playoffs, he took a called third strike as a pinch-hitter in the fifth and walked slowly toward the dugout to a chorus of boos. Even though slugger Matt Kemp is out for the playoffs and Andre Ethier is hobbling with an injured ankle, the Dodgers had no trouble piling up runs against Medlen and the Braves. The Atlanta starter, who came into the playoffs riding a five-game winning streak, gave up nine hits and five runs in four-plus innings. Medlen finally got the hook when he plunked Yasiel Puig with a pitch right between the shoulder blades. Of course, Medlen wouldve fared better if hed gotten any help from the guys behind him. The Braves played some truly atrocious defense, though they were not charged with an error. In the second, rookie left fielder Evan Gattis flopped to the ground in an attempt to catch a sinking liner, only to look very much like the converted catcher he is. The ball hit by A.J. Ellis rolled all the way to the wall for an RBI double, putting the Dodgers ahead 2-0 on a play that an outfielder with even a modest amount of experience probably wouldve grabbed fairly easily. Adrian Gonzalez began to put it out of reach in the third, driving a pitch over the center-field wall for his first postseason homer, a two-run shot that made it 4-0 as a sense of doom fell over a Turner Field crowd that had been so raucous in the beginning. Not that Atlanta fans havent seen this all before. The Braves are perhaps best known for winning only one World Series championship during a historic run of 14 straight division titles. Now, more October misery. At least theyre not done yet.

After losing to St. Louis in a one-anddone wild-card game last season, which was marred by a disputed infield-fly call, the Braves have a chance to bounce back. But they cant afford another loss before they head to Los Angeles for the next two games, if the series lasts that long. In addition to Gattis stumbling attempt at a catch, second baseman Elliot Johnson taking Ugglas old spot bobbled Carl Crawfords grounder leading off the third, a play that was generously ruled a hit by the official scorer. Medlen retired the next two hitters, but Gonzalez drove the next pitch over the wall, with Jason Heyward making a futile leap that left him hanging from the top. Heyward, who was moved from right field to center as part of the outfield reshuffling, had his own problems. Twice, he overthrew the cutoff man on throws to the plate, allowing runners to advance. Just to add to Atlantas outfield woes, Justin Upton wasnt even close on a sliding attempt when Ellis doubled down the right-field line in the fourth. He wound up scoring on Mark Ellis two-out single, stretching the lead to 5-0. Gattis, who was one of Atlantas most pleasant surprises during the regular season, had a miserable night in his postseason debut. He ended the second by somehow getting doubled off first on a lazy fly to short right field. NOTES: The Dodgers put Ethier on their 25-man roster even though he can likely only be used as a pinch-hitter because of an ankle injury. He came up in that role in the eighth, batting for Kershaw and grounding out to first base. ... After Medlen struck out the first three hitters of the game, Los Angeles didnt have another 1-2-3 inning until the seventh against Braves rookie Alex Wood. ... Skip Schumaker started in center field for the Dodgers and drove in the first run with a sacrifice fly in the second. ... Brian Wilson and Kenley Jansen finished up with one scoreless inning apiece. Jansen struck out three.

I caught up some with a couple of my competitors last week. Just not regular Dave Boninsegna, who finished the best of the quartet at 8-4 (5-1 college, 3-3 in the pros). That makes him now 26-22 (14-10, 12-12) I and Guest Picker Frank German were second-best at 7-5 (5-1, 2-4) to keep inching above .500 at 26-22 (15-9, 11-13). He was 4-2, 3-3 to improve the GPs overall to 45-38 (22-19, 23-19). Regular Bob Weber was 6-6 (4-2, 2-4) to move to 32-16 (18-6 and 14-10). I have two new victims er, uh, GPs: our own sweet, mild-mannered (but dont cross her or her Reds) Erin Cox who will probably pound us all into gristle! and Delphos Board of Education member Michael Good to his mother Wulfhorst. Here are the Games: College: Maryland at Florida State; Washington at Stanford; Ohio State at Northwestern; Arizona State vs. Notre Dame at Dallas; Air Force at Navy; Ole Miss at Auburn. JIM METCALFE COLLEGE FLORIDA STATE: The Terrapins are a national surprise but so is FSU freshman Jameis Winston. Take the home team in Tallahassee. STANFORD: The Huskies are no slouch but Pacific Northwest teams dont necessarily do well in California, especially against a superb all-around Cardinal team. OHIO S TAT E : The Buckeyes will lose another game eventually. I just dont think it will be in Evanston a supposed road game as they outscore the Wildcats. ARIZONA STATE: Notre Dames offense struggled with turnovers last week. Sun Devils use speed and power to get big national win. AIR FORCE: Im glad this game is on. I like the Falcons offense. AUBURN: I almost picked the Rebels but they got their heads handed to them last week. My guess is they dont bounce back right away. PRO: GREEN BAY: Packers come off a bye and are at home on the Not-So-Frozen Tundra of Lambeau Field. They are just better at home. NEW ORLEANS: The Bears rely too much on turnovers. The way the Saints are playing, Da Bears wont get any help. DENVER: The Cowboys totally fell apart in the second half last week. Not good against the hitting-on-all-cylinders Broncos. KANSAS CITY: The Tuxedos were a surprise team but with a backup QB in there against a vastly-improved Chiefs team, KC gets the road win. PHILADELPHIA: Whod have ever thunk these two NFL beasts would be a combined 1-7? The Giants are simply worse. NEW ENGLAND: The Patriots simply find a way to get it done, no matter what. They keep getting it done. DAVE BONINSEGNA Florida State: The Terps have a slim to slimmer chance to pull off a win here; State just the better team. Stanford: Stanford lost to the Huskies last season and look to avenge that defeat; the Cardinal are at home for no other reason going to give them the edge. Ohio State: Ohio State has won 28 of the last 29 meetings; its riding a nation-best 17-game winning streak. Buckeyes win. Arizona State: The Sun Devils offense took off last week in a 62-41 win at home over USC. State is still going to be riding high from last week. Navy: Navy has had the upper hand in the past and the Midshipmen have possible bowl implications on the line. Navy continues its dominance. Ole Miss: The Rebels had won five straight games before last Week, dating back to last season, and started this year 3-0 for the first time since 1989. I am going for them to make it six in a row. NFL: Green Bay: The Lions will try to snap a 22-game Wisconsin skid against the Green Bay Packers on Sunday. The Packers have had a couple of weeks to think about their loss to the Bengals and come out at home to even their record. New Orleans: The Saints must end a 3-game road skid against the Chicago Bears to stay unbeaten. It is crucial for the Saints defense to continue to play well. I am going to take them to do that Sunday in Chicago. Denver: Two words: Peyton Manning. Kansas City: The Chiefs are trying to maintain their best start since going 9-0 in 2003. The Titans are banged up. After the Chiefs win on Sunday, they will go 5-0. New York Giants: Something has to give for one of these teams; I think this week it will be for the Giants. New England: The Bengals were pathetic last week against the Browns. The Pats played very well against the Falcons last week and will do again this week in the Jungle. BOB WEBER Florida State - Seminoles are 21-2 against Maryland, having won the last six meetings. Stanford - Cardinals are one of the best teams in the country. Ohio State - Thank God were talking about football and not ACT/SAT scores Buckeyes stay undefeated. Arizona State - Too much offensive ability on Sun Devils; also game played on neutral field. Navy - Thank God our government did one thing right this week by not cancelling these games. Go Midshipmen! Auburn - Not sure what happened at Ole Miss this week but I think it could affect the outcome of this game Saturday. Green Bay - Two weeks for Aaron Rodgers to prepare. New Orleans - Even though the Saints have struggled at Soldier Field, going with Drew Brees Denver - I hope this game is a blowout - cant stand Cowboys QB Romo and owner Jerry Jones (Editors Note: I concur with the latter). Kansas City - If Jake Locker would not have gotten hurt I would have went with Titans: however, Chiefs are a really good team. NY Giants - I think the Giants will get their first win of the year against the Eagles. Cincinnati - Brady will probably burn me again like last week but still going with Bengals. ERIN COX College: Florida State: The Seminoles have the home advantage in a big game, so the crowd should help slow Marylands offense. Stanford: Im just going with the rankings on this one. Northwestern: I could never pick OS-Lose to win a game; it is simply not in my being. The Luckeyes almost lost it last week and hopefully Northwestern will get some advantage from the hype surrounding the game (EN: Tell us how you really feel! I cant tell!). Arizona State: The fact that the Irish dont have green in their team colors just makes no sense whatsoever and for that, Im going with Arizona State. Navy: This wasnt in ESPNs Top 25 overview so I have no clue which is supposed to be the better team. I do like the Navy uniforms though, so go Navy! Ole Miss: I went back and forth on this forever and Im going to be mad when Auburn wins. So if you want to bet on a game, go with this one. NFL: Green Bay: As much as I love watching Aaron Rodgers get beat, I have to go with Green Bay on this. Chicago: Drew Brees hasnt had to face the Chicago defense yet, so hes breezed through the first games of the season. The Bears will stop him and take the win. Dallas: I cant go against my boys on this. Peyton Manning may have the best season going but he has to falter sometime and might as well be for my Cowboys. Kansas City: The Chiefs are having a pretty impressive season and the Titans have, too, but Tennessee has suffered some injuries, so Im going with the Chiefs. New York Giants: If Dallas loses, at least they can say theyre better than the Giants and the Eagles, so lets go with that option. Cincinnati: I do not like the Patriots ever. Lets hope that Belichick doesnt throw a pity party. MIKE WULFHORST College: Florida State: The Terps should have revenge on their mind going into this titanic struggle with Florida State and be well prepared coming off the bye week; however, they do not have the athletes to compete with The Florida S t a t e . Marylands return to the top 25 wont last long as Florida State and super Frosh James Winston will roll big in this one. Stanford: Stanford certainly wont take Washington lightly after suffering one of its two losses to its Pac-12 nemesis last season. I am picking Stanford to win this old-fashioned slobberknocker by a score of 31 to 21. Ohio State: The matchup between Braxton Miller and the Northwestern secondary is the key matchup; the Northwestern passing defense ranks 119th in the country but is tied for first averaging 2.5 interceptions per game and leads the country with four interceptions returned for touchdowns. Ohio State faces its first ranked opponent on the road; we should get a good idea of how they can play on the road. I am picking the Bucks 38-27. Notre Dame: I look for the Irish and Tommy Rees to rebound in this one and upset the Sun Devils in Dallas. This wont be as close as people expect 38-24. Navy: Navy rolls in this one with a big 30-21 victory. Ole Miss at Auburn; The Ole Miss Rebels got a reality check last week in a shutout loss at Alabama but are still much improved; the Auburn Tigers are also much improved. The Tigers will show the Rebels how much further they have to go to compete with the Big Boys of SEC with a 31-27 upset victory. NFL: Green Bay: Packers Head Coach Mike McCarthy is an all-time 15-1 against the Lions and to add insult to injury, the Lions have lost 22 straight to the Packers when the game is played in the state of Wisconsin. This will be a shootout type of game with the Packers coming out on top 38-27. Chicago: Chicago is looking to rebound off their loss to the Lions but face a red-hot Saints team. One thing the Bears have going for them this week is that the game is in Chicago. This will be a close game but the Bears will come out victorious 24-21. Denver: Denver comes into Dallas as the early favorite to represent the AFC in Super Bowl 48. The Cowboys have games that they too look like a top-tier team, only to lay an egg the next week. I foresee a lot of points scored, with Denver coming out on top 48-31. Kansas City at Tennessee; The Chiefs look to remain undefeated as they take on the a 3-1 Titans. Tennessee could be in trouble as they will be without starting quarterback Jake Locker who suffered a strained hip last week against the Jets and Ryan Fitzpatrick will get the start for Tennessee. The Chiefs prevail 20-13. New York Giants: The Giants and Eagles are both coming into this game needing a win desperately. In a game such as this, where both teams are not playing their best ball, you have to take a look at the quarterbacks. Would you rather have Eli Manning or Michael Vick? I would pick Eli every time: Giants 23-14. New England: Through the first three weeks of the season, the Patriots did not look like themselves but that all changed with a huge win against a good Falcons team. The Bengals are another team that can look good one week, only to look bad the next. This will come down to the last possession as Tom Brady drives the Patriots for the winning score 27-24.

We got off to a quick start, getting a turnover to start the game. We simply couldnt sustain it, especially the second half, Owens added. We hurt ourselves with turnovers the second half, as well as penalties. Those are game-changers when you have two evenly-matched teams.

Bath runs to 27-13 victory over Van Wert


By John Parent Times Bulletin Sports Editor sports@timesbulletin.com VAN WERT It what was probably the most disappointing and demoralizing loss in head coach Keith Reckers two seasons at the helm of the Van Wert football program, a 27-13 loss by the visiting Bath Wildcats on Friday night at Eggerss Stadium. The game began promisingly enough, with Van Wert reaching inside the Bath 30. However, a bad snap resulted in a turnover. On Baths second possession of the first half and facing a third-and-15 from the 39, quarterback Cam Jenkins threw a quick slant to Eric Heffner; Van Werts safety overran the action, leaving nothing but wide-open space to the end zone. After Bath took over after a punt on their 20, Nicholas Krugh picked off a Jenkins pass, returning it inside the Bath 5. On the next play, Smith found the corner of the end zone on a 4-yard scamper. The extra point was good and the Cougars led 7-6. On the next Cougar possession, Colin Smith hit Terrance Branson for a 62-yard catch and run that gave Van Wert a 13-6 advantage with less than two min-

utes to play in the half. Bath responded and got into the end zone just before time expired; a Jenkins connection to Heffner coming out of the backfield as the game was knotted at 13-13 going to the half. Bath came out of the gate in the third quarter with an 11-play drive, Nate Stonehill punching it in from a yard away. After a punt, Bath went on the march again from the 20, keyed by questionable pass interference flag thrown on Van Wert. Stonehill scored from the 5 with mere seconds to go in the quarter. The loss moves Van Wert to 0-6 on the season and 0-5 in WBL play.

CINCINNATI (AP) One very bad week clinched Dusty Bakers fate. The Reds decided they werent going to bring him back. Not after they ended the season with six losses in a row, including the wild-card playoff game. Not after they failed to get past the opening round of the playoffs for the third time in a row. Not with all the booing at Great American Ball Park. Instead of keeping Baker around for one more try, the Reds fired him on Friday, parting ways with the manager who led them to their best stretch of success since the Big Red Machine but couldnt get them deep into the postseason. The move came after the Reds lost the wild-card playoff in Pittsburgh 6-2 on Tuesday night, their sixth straight loss. The final-week fade was a major factor in the decision, general manager Walt Jocketty said in a phone interview. The Reds are the fourth team with an opening at manager. Davey Johnson retired after the Nationals season, Eric Wedge left the Mariners and the Cubs fired Dale Sveum after finishing last in the NL Central. Baker took over a rebuilding team in 2008 and led it to

Reds fire Baker after playoff loss

three 90-win seasons and three playoff appearances in the last four years, their best run since Sparky Anderson managed the Big Red Machine to two World Series titles in the 1970s. The lack of playoff success built pressure for change. Though stunned by the late fade Baker said he felt very helpless as the offense went into a slump and the rotation fell apart he expected to return for the final year on his contract. Baker went 509-463 in his six seasons with Cincinnati, finishing third on the Reds list for wins by a manager behind Anderson (863) and Bill McKechnie (744). His 1,671 wins rank 16th on the career list. He won three NL Manager of the Year awards. The former Braves and Dodgers star outfielder is one of only six managers to win at least 300 games with three different teams. He took the Giants, Cubs and Reds to the playoffs seven times without winning a World Series. His closest brush came in 2002 with the Giants, who beat the Braves and the Cardinals before losing to the Angels in a seven-game World Series. Hes 19-26 all-time in the postseason.

Hall

(Continued from page 1)

To have so many generations using this beautiful historic building is something we dont see now a days, Pothast explained. I personally have memories of attending so many weddings, anniversaries, New Years Eve dances, Santa visits and even my 4-H meetings. I am so thankful a group of dedicated people from our town have given so much of their time, talent and funding to bring this building back to life. Sarahs aunts and uncles Ginnie Hellman, Barb Grothouse, Mary Ann Garber and Dale Good were married in St. Josephs Church during the 70s and held their receptions at the hall. Chuck and I were married in St. Josephs Catholic Church in 1970 during the Vietnam War, Hellman detailed. We had 250 guests at the reception. Hellman said that the beautiful restoration work completed by volunteers is very impressive. My wife and I were married on July 21, 1973, Good detailed. The photographer lined our family mom, dad, brothers and sisters on the steps of Memorial Hall, which made a very nice picture. Good said that there were 300 guests at the reception and his neighbors served and cooked the dinner and his friends bartended. After the dinner, the couple held a dance for which they had to purchase a $5 dance permit. The renovations of the hall are very nice, Good said. We are excited to have the hall being used again. Garber and her husband, Robert, were married in 1978 when the hall was being utilized extensively and the upstairs and both rooms downstairs were used for wedding receptions. I am so happy to see the hall being used for receptions again, Garber detailed. There is a lot of history there. In 1979, when Jimmy Carter was president, Grothouse held her reception at the hall. The couple invited 350 guests and held a dance after dinner. The renovations of the hall are very nice and the amount of work volunteers put into the hall is commendable, Grothouse explained. Sarahs grandparents, Robert and Alma

Answers to Fridays questions: The first U.S. Census was taken in 1790. It included six questions and recorded a population of 3,929,214 persons of whom 2,172,006 were white and 757,208 were black. The white population was evenly divided between males and females. Virginia was the most populous state with 747,610 inhabitants. The greatest earthquake in American history was the Great Alaskan Earthquake of 1964. The quake, on March 28, 1964, had its epicenter near Anchorage and measured 9.2 in the Richter scale. This is the second highest magnitude ever recorded, behind a 9.5 earthquake in Chile. Todays questions: How many people died at the infamous Andersonville Prison? When was the Gilded Age? Answers in Mondays Herald.

Trivia

Good, were married by the Reverend John Miller on Nov. 25, 1948, two years after Robert, who served in World War II in the South Pacific, was discharged from the Navy. Though we were married in November, the weather was exceptionally warm, Alma sifted through the images in her mind. Our pictures were taken outside without coats. During that time, Alma said that nearly all of their friends held wedding receptions at Memorial Hall. I am so glad Memorial Hall has been restored, Alma said excitedly. It is a great honor to our veterans. Getting the building ready to host wedding receptions and other gatherings was no easy task. Renovations of the historic building were long overdue and by 2006, renovations were seen as cost-prohibitive. From 2007-11, the building sat empty and unheated leading to an array of structural damage. Jennings Memorial Association member Dr. Wesley Klir said 85 years of wear and tear on the structure took its toll, there was no upkeep. When I entered the hall in January 2011, it was about 15 degrees in the building, two windows were open to the elements upstairs and much of the downstairs ceiling was on the floor, Klir detailed. Klir said demolition had been discussed and those costs were more than Jennings Township could afford. In March 2011, local history buffs reformed the Fort Jennings Historical Society and subsequently formed a committee dubbed the Jennings Memorial Association. After some 4,000 hours of donated time and $40,000 in material costs, which were accomplished solely on donations, hall usage and fundraisers, the building renovations were completed in time for the rededication of the building at the towns bicentennial celebration in August 2012. Jennings Memorial Association is planning the next project, which is a wheelchair/handicapped lift that will serve as an elevator for the building. Currently, the building is leased and operated by the Jennings Memorial Association and all income from the hall goes to its maintenance or improvement. The building is on the Ohio Historic Inventory but is not registered federally. Klir said

Prospect for quick end to shutdown is remote


WASHINGTON (AP) Prospects for a swift end to the 4-day-old partial government shutdown all but vanished Friday as lawmakers squabbled into the weekend and increasingly shifted their focus to a midmonth deadline for averting a threatened firstever default. This isnt some damn game, said House Speaker John Boehner, as the White House and Democrats held to their position of agreeing to negotiate only after the government is reopened and the $16.7 trillion debt limit raised. House Republicans appeared to be shifting their demands, de-emphasizing their previous insistence on defunding the health care overhaul in exchange for re-opening the government. Instead, they ramped up calls for cuts in federal benefit programs and future deficits, items that Boehner has said repeatedly will be part of any talks on debt limit legislation. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., also said the two issues were linked. We not only have a shutdown, but we have the full faith and credit of our nation before us in a week or ten days, he said. Reid and other Democrats blocked numerous attempts by Sen. Ted Cruz to approve House-passed bills reopening portions of the government. The Texas Republican is a chief architect of the Defund Obamacare strategy and met earlier this week with allies in the House and an aide to Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va., to confer on strategy. In a lengthy back-andforth with Reid and other Democrats, Cruz blamed them and the White House for the impasse and accused them of a my way or the highway attitude. But Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich., likened the Republican strategy to smashing a piece of crockery with a hammer, gluing two or three bits back together today, a couple more tomorrow, and two or three more the day after that. For all the rhetoric, there was no evident urgency about ending the partial shutdown before the weekend. The Republicancontrolled House approved legislation restoring funds for federal disaster relief on a vote of 247-164. Another allowing the resumption of the Women, Infants and Children nutrition program was approved 244-164. Todays agenda called for passing a bill to assure postshutdown pay for an estimated 800,000 furloughed federal employees off the job since mid-day Tuesday, then turning off the lights on the House floor until Monday night to allow lawmakers to fly home for two days. After issuing a string of veto threats against GOP spending bills, the White House did not object to the one to assure pay for furloughed employees. There was no doubt about the political underpinnings of the struggle. Democrats and most Republicans have assumed the GOP would be hurt by a shutdown, citing the impact of the last episode, in 1996. But Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., said of Democrats, I dont think theyve poll tested we wont negotiate. I think its awful for them to say that over and over again. His words recorded on videotape, he said, I think if we keep saying we wanted to defund it (the new health care law), we fought for that and now were willing to compromise on this were going to win this, I think. The shutdown caused the White House to scrub a presidential trip to Asia, and the Bureau of Labor Statistics delayed its customary monthly report on joblessness as impacts of the partial shutdown spread. According to warnings by the administration and Wall Street, failure to raise the debt limit, by contrast, had the potential to destablize financial markets and inflict harm on the economy quickly. Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew has said that unless Congress acts, the government will be unable to pay all its debts and will run the risk of default. He has urged lawmakers to act by Oct. 17.

We see this income inequality reflected in major pro sports. The current culture in the NFL is to pay the very best players, usually the franchise quarterbacks, a boat-load of money while asking mid-level players to take pay cuts so the team can stay within the leagueimposed salary cap. For now, the players seem to accept this dynamic. In the future, however, wont players be resentful when they are called upon to play for less when one or two superstar teammates are getting $140 million contracts? For the Green Bay Packers, Aaron Rodgers new contract calls for him to receive $40 million. Clay Matthews also hit the lottery.

He will take $22 million to the bank. For that to happen, Packers executives had to let a few veterans go and ask several other players to make salary concessions or be cut from the team. The salary cap squeeze is a constant problem for professional team franchises. As the Packers develop future superstars, such as Randall Cobb, Jordy Nelson and B.J. Raji, how will they be able to pay them mega-contracts to keep them without demanding concessions from other veterans? Its a puzzle all professional teams must solve. According to figures published last week by USA Today Sports from NFL sources, heres what franchise quarterbacks are being paid this season: Tom Brady

of New England and Matthew Bradford of Detroit are making $31 million; Matt Ryan of Atlanta and Joe Flacco are getting a cool $30 million; Tony Romo of Dallas receives $26.5 million; and Payton Manning is drawing $20 million. Franchise quarterbacks are rare and may be worth money but if you are a midlevel player with a $5 million salary and are forced to take a $2 million pay reduction to keep your job, wouldnt you feel a little resentful? Basically, the same thing is happening every day across America as hard-working middle class people are being asked to work for wages that do not support their families. These are business models that my not end well.

(Continued from page 4) Optically, symbolically and every other way, this seems too little too late. Shutting out veterans from their memorial touchstone was more than a bad call, a lapse of judgment, a mere moment of tone deafness. In reality, it may have been the tidy effort of a boxchecking bureaucrat but it reeked of the small work of a petty bully. Ditto the closing of the D-Day cemetery in Normandy, France, where more than 9,000 Americans are buried. And this is the president who recently declared that The American People are not political pawns to be used to score political points? Barack Obama must have been an inkling in the prescient mind of H.L. Mencken when the curmudgeon from whom all op-eds flow once described democracy as the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard. While one may sympathize with Obamas contempt for his congressional adversaries, he may have cut off his own nose with an unforced error of magnified proportions. Spite is unbecoming a president, as Richard Nixon proved in another era of national disruption. But beyond personality, it is baffling to imagine anyone thinking that the way to winning hearts and minds is by disrespecting the nations most beloved demographic.

world without my parents generation, not because they were perfect but because these mothers and fathers take with them a national treasure their personal experiences and memories of The Great Depression and World War II and the lessons of sacrifice, thrift, courage and duty that defined them. In their place, we have a bickering, twittering, snarling, snarky, toxic public square that has contaminated even our highest offices. How surreal it must seem to our oldest and wisest citizens to witness the breaking bad of America. Nearly any but the die-hardest tea party member regrets the shuttering of the U.S. government. It was unnecessary, counterproductive, and punishes all the wrong people including federal employees, who do yeomans work for which they receive little credit. Tying the defunding of Obamacare to the shutdown was folly, which sensible House Republicans knew even as they ignored their better judgment. Even so, the White House and Democrats seem determined to prove their own toughness by punishing the leastdeserving. As we approach the next battle over the debt ceiling, would that all of Washington remember the rule of the savvy negotiator: Always leave your opponent an exit.

In 2011, the NFPA reported that unattended kitchen fires moved up to the second-leading cause of home fire deaths. Most cooking fires are due to human error; falling asleep, unattended or just plain forgetting something was on the stove, Moreo stated. In 2010, cooking caused 44 percent of reported home fires, 16 percent of home fire deaths and 40 percent of home fire injuries. Moreo said the best way to extinguish a grease fire if it can be safely done is to turn off the burner and slide a lid over the fire. This takes away the heat source and oxygen and will suffocate the fire. Do not ever throw water on a grease fire! Moreo said adamantly. Always call the Fire Department because it is better to have us on the way and not to be needed than to lose a life or an entire home. Chief Moreos Kitchen Fire Prevention advice: Do not leave the stove unattended and when finished cooking, be sure to turn off the stove and remove the pan/pot from the burner used Remember, all you can save by not having a cooking fire; your life, your familys life and your home, Moreo reasoned.
