Library one step closer to hosting training site

BY NANCY SPENCER Herald Editor nspencer@delphosherald.com DELPHOS The Delphos Public Library Board of Trustees and library personnel are still navigating through the process of becoming a training site for DigitalWorks, an initiative of Connected Nation, Inc., the parent organization of Connect Ohio. Connect Ohio is a technology organization committed to bringing affordable high-speed Internet and broadband-enabled resources to all Ohioans and raises awareness of the value of broadband. It is funded by federal and state grants, as well as private donations. Jeff Beebe, a Connect Ohio representative, gave a presentation to the trustees at the August meeting. He outlined what the program would need including 12-15 work stations, 1,500-2,400 square feet and highspeed Internet. Beebe had first expressed interest in using the First Edition Building for the work area. Library trustees were concerned with security and someone being in the building when the library was unoccupied. Library Director Rist told trustees Wednesday afternoon she had taken the Connect Ohio contract to the librarys legal advisor and outlined the changes the trustees asked for and the advisor had added and changed items. Trustees approved the contract and decided Connect Ohio will be offered the librarys assembly room just inside the east doors. The contract also has a 30-day out clause for both parties. They will be inside the library and only here when the library is open, Rist said. I dont think this will be a problem for them. They seemed willing to work with whatever we could give them. Rist said Beebe hoped to have the training site ready by Nov. 1. Sites are already established in Zanesville, Portsmouth and Logan. DigitalWorks is looking for a total of 10-12 in Ohio. The trustees received good news about the leaky basement. The leak is in the southwest corner of the boiler room and in close proximity to a gas line and where the power comes into the building. Rist presented an estimate of $2,586 for the repair from Trisco Systems, Inc., of Lima. The board had feared the repairs could cost more and were pleased to approve the estimate. Rist presented three projects she will write a Dienstberger Foundation Grant request for more than $14,000 this month. The library is in the process of designing a teen area with the input of more than a dozen local middle and high school students. The effort is in hopes of growing services for teen library patrons, including space, programming and circulation. The area will be located in the basement activity room and include room for watching DVDs and playing video and board games. The majority of the cost ($3,500) will be for furnishings, including a table and chairs, gaming chairs, an area rug and game system and games. The Teen Advisory Board will meet Saturday morning at the library to make plans for the area. See LIBRARY, page 10

Allen County Public Health has announced the community season flu shot clinic schedule for everyone 6 months of age and older. The vaccine will be available at the Allen County Health Department from 8-9 a.m. and 3-4 p.m. Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays or by appointment. Appointments can be made by visiting allencountyhealthdepartment. org or by phone at 419228-4457. All clinics are contingent upon vaccine supply availability. This year, the flu vaccine is being recommended for everyone ages 6 months and older. The cost of a flu shot is $30 cash or check. Medicare/Medicaid, Anthem, and Med Mutual insurances are also accepted. It is important for everyone to bring their insurance cards with them. No one will be turned away for inability to pay while supplies last. To help keep clinics running smoothly and effectively, participants are asked to come dressed in short sleeves or other clothing that makes the upper arm more easily accessible. The vaccine will begin to provide protection

within about two weeks. A flu vaccine not only protects you, it protects everyone you come in contact with family, friends, co-workers and clients. Preventing the spread of flu keeps us all healthier, Health Commissioner Kathy Luhn, MS, MCHES, said. In Ohio, the traditional flu season is considered to be from November through April, with the peak months being January and February. The Center for Disease Control recommends Take Three to fight the FLU: 1) Take time to get a flu vaccine; 2) Take everyday precautions to prevent the spread of influenza; 3) Take antiviral drugs if they are prescribed for you. Everyday ways to prevent getting the flu including avoiding contact with people who are sick, avoiding touching the eyes, nose and mouth and practicing good health habits like disinfecting frequently-touched surfaces at home, work and school. Getting plenty of sleep, being physically active, managing stress, drinking plenty of fluids and eating nutritious foods also helps.

TODAY IN HISTORY
Associated Press

75 Years Ago 1938 The New York Yankees blasted their way to their third consecutive world championship by knocking off the Chicago Cubs, 8 to 3, in four straight games. Joe Gordon, who should have been shaking with the jitters because it was his first World Series, had a batting average of .400. He knocked in six runs. He hit two double plays. He stole a base. He made two errors but he made them by going after stuff and trying for throws that your average second baseman would not stab at. Frank Howard Weaver, 75, a native of Lansingburgh, now Upper Troy, New York, stopped in Delphos Sunday enroute from New York to Iowa. He is traveling on foot and pulls his belongings in a small wagon. The aged man is not a tramp but plies his trade as a tinker. Since he has been struck with wanderlust, he has worked in 34 states from coast to coast. The Daughters of Reformation, a class of the Lutheran Church, held their monthly meeting Saturday evening at the home of Janis Powell, Douglas Street. Alice Mox was in charge of devotionals. Excerpts from the life of a missionary in India were told in story form by Mae Rausehart. Emma Vera Mittermaier entertained with a piano selection.

Mary Taylor, a Republican and one of the states more vocal critics of President Barack Obamas health care overhaul, told a group of small business owners that her insurance department is asking people to be patient and to try the healthcare.gov website during off hours. Maybe if we all get up at midnight and try to get on the system well, if we all do, it wont work, she joked to Ohio members of the National Federation of Independent Business. Consumers can get private health insurance, subsidized by the federal government, through the new insurance markets created by the 2010 law. The markets opened on Oct. 1. Consumers have until Feb. 15 to enroll in a health care plan to avoid penalties for not having insurance. Coverage

Ohio wont ask drivers if they want off organ list

COLUMBUS (AP) Drivers renewing their licenses in Ohio will no longer be asked if they want to remain on the list of organ donors in a move designed to increase the states donation registry. Donors still can take themselves off the list by requesting a change when they renew their licenses or by visiting the Bureau of Motor Vehicles website. The change comes after a state lawmaker added an amendment to the state budget signed by Republican Gov. John Kasich. Rep. Cheryl Grossman, a Republican from Grove City, said the goal was to cut time at the BMV counter and add to the donor registry. About 5.24 million Ohioans are registered organ donors, up from 5.19 million last year. Ohio joins nine other states that dont ask registered donors about continuing. Lifeline of Ohio, which maintains Ohios organ donor registry, pushed for the policy switch because it wanted people to gather more information first, said Marilyn Pongonis, a spokeswoman for the organization. Older donors have dropped off the list because they wrongly

You know, it is frustrating. Those promoting the nations new health insurance system have said that consumers still have months to make decisions and that its more important for people to take their time and make an informed choice even if that means waiting a month or more. Taylor told the business owners that she started bracing for problems this summer, when the insurance department struggled to send Washington information by computer on Ohios health plans. This is what we expected, she said. Taylor said she doesnt know how many Ohioans have successfully enrolled in the new markets because Washington is running them.

Our real hope is that people wont pull themselves out without making an informed decision, she told The Columbus Dispatch. Over the last year, 233,103 names were added to the registry and 69,302 were removed, she said. Across the nation, about 120,000 people are waiting for organ transplants, said Pongonis, who added that state registries must increase to meet the demand for organs.

Ohio State researchers clone a gene that regulates fruit size in vegetable, fruit crops
Information submitted fruit size by increasing cell layers and delaying ripening. According to van der Knaap, this gene promotes extra cell divisions during the process of fruit development, immediately after fertilization. These extra cell divisions lead to enlarged fruit, while the delay in ripening is likely the result of an extension of the cell division stage. A majority of the research was conducted by Ohio State postdoctoral researcher Manohar Chakrabarti and Ph.D. student Na Zhang, working in van der Knaaps lab. Other scientists based in the U.S., France and Spain collaborated as well. The research team also identified a potential regulatory element in the promoter of SlKLUH that is hypothesized to control gene expression. The promoter is a region of DNA that is responsible for initiating the transcription of a gene. Our findings suggest that the allele giving rise to large fruit arose in the early domesticates of tomato and became progressively more abundant upon further selections, van der Knaap said. Domestication of crop plants some 10,000 years ago had a significant effect on the development of humans and their societies. However, even today scientists know little

WOOSTER Do you enjoy big, plump tomatoes? If so, you should give thanks to a gene that arose thousands of years ago as early farmers in South America began domesticating this popular fruit, according to Ohio State University crop scientists. Esther van der Knaap, a geneticist with the universitys College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences, led an international research team that discovered and cloned a gene that regulates fruit size in tomato. This is only the second domestication gene involved in fruit size ever cloned in any vegetable or fruit crop. The discovery was reported Sept. 30 in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. This work represents an important improvement in the understanding of the regulation of fruit size and how domestication played a role in the selection of this gene, said van der Knaap, who is based on the Wooster campus of the Ohio Agricultural Research and Development Center (OARDC), the research arm of the college. The cloned gene, known as SlKLUH, impacts

USDA warns CA poultry producer linked to outbreak

WASHINGTON (AP) The Agriculture Department is threatening to shut down three California poultry processing facilities linked to a salmonella outbreak that has sickened 278 people across the country. USDA said Wednesday that Foster Farms, owner of the three facilities, has until tomorrow to tell the department how it will fix the problem. The company was notified Monday. Sampling by USDA in September showed that raw chicken processed by those facilities included strains of salmonella that were linked to the outbreak. But the company has not recalled any of its products. In a letter to Foster Farms, USDA said those samples coupled with illnesses suggest that the sanitary conditions at the facility could pose a serious ongoing threat to public health. The first illnesses in the outbreak were reported in March and the outbreak has had a high rate of hospitalizations. The CDC said 42 percent of victims were hospitalized, about double the normal rate, and it is resistant to many antibiotics, making it a more dangerous outbreak. The Agriculture Department can halt production by withdrawing government inspectors who are required to be in meat processing plants every day. In the letter, Yudhbir Sharma of USDAs Alameda, Calif. district office said Foster Farms has failed to demonstrate that it has adequate controls in place to address the salmonella issue. He said that in one of the facilities, 25 percent of the samples taken were positive for salmonella. The letter said that prior to the outbreak, USDA inspectors had documented fecal material on carcasses along with poor sanitary dressing practices, insanitary food contact surfaces, insanitary nonfood contact surfaces and direct product contamination. In a statement Monday, Foster Farms President Ron Foster said the company regretted any illnesses and was taking steps on its own to ensure food safety. He said the company is working with USDA. According to CDC, the most recent illness began two weeks ago and the outbreak is ongoing. The majority of illnesses have been in California but people in 17 states have been infected, from Texas to Michigan to North Carolina. The USDA had originally said the outbreak was in 18 states. So far, despite other evidence they have gathered, USDA and CDC have not been able to definitively link the illnesses to a specific Foster Farms product. Washington State found outbreak strains of salmonella in a leftover sample of raw Foster Farms chicken in an ill persons home, but USDA officials say they werent able to decipher the label on

about the molecular mechanisms involved in changes in fruit appearance size, shape and other factors as a result of domestication and selection by early farmers. Despite the importance of fruit mass in the evolution of fruit and vegetable plants, cloning of domestication genes of fruit and vegetable crops has lagged behind that of cereal crops, van der Knaap said. For that reason, insights into the molecular mechanisms that led to the transition of the fruit from small to large remain mostly unknown. The cloning of SlKLUH is expected to increase scientists understanding of fruit development processes, not only in tomato but in other crop species as well. We show in this paper that the same gene may have been selected during domestication of chili pepper, leading to increased fruit size in this vegetable crop as well, van der Knaap said. In 2008, van der Knaap reported the discovery of a gene that controls fruit shape in the journal Science. This basic research also has important implications for vegetable and fruit production, as it could allow breeders to manipulate genes to create new varieties with desired size and shape characteristics.

the chicken, so they could not prove which of Foster Farms specific products caused the illnesses. The CDC said the salmonella illnesses appear to be linked to another Foster Farms outbreak last year and earlier this year, when 134 people in 13 states were sickened with one of the same strains of salmonella that has made people ill in the current outbreak. Even though the meat hasnt been recalled, some grocery stores are taking it off their shelves anyway. Kroger Co. (NYSE:KR) said it is taking some Foster Farms products from the shelves in certain stores and calling customers who it knows may have purchased the products. The company owns several chains, including Ralphs, Fred Meyer, Frys and others. Salmonella is a pathogen that contaminates meat during slaughter and processing, and is especially common in raw chicken. The infections can be avoided by proper handling and cooking of raw poultry. The pathogen can be life-threatening to those with weakened immune systems and causes diarrhea, abdominal cramps and fever within a few days of eating a contaminated product. Consumer advocates have for several years petitioned the department to change the way salmonella outbreaks in meat are handled. Because salmonella is so prevalent in poultry and is killed if consumers handle and cook it properly, the government has not declared it to be a so-called adulterant, or illegal, in meat, as is E. coli. Outbreaks of salmonella in poultry can take longer to discover and recalls dont happen as quickly. If the outbreak had been E. coli, or if the salmonella had been found in food that wasnt meat, then the government would have had more authority to force a recall. Thats because USDA, which oversees meat safety, classifies most of the main types of E. coli as illegal. The Food and Drug Administration oversees the safety of most other food and doesnt distinguish pathogens in foods salmonella is treated as seriously as any other contaminant. With the evidence they have, withdrawing meat inspectors and shutting down the plant is the best regulatory recourse the agency has, officials said. If USDA decided to force a recall, it would most likely have to go through the courts. The federal shutdown has also been hampering the government response to food safety issues. While USDAs meat inspectors are on the job, the CDC had furloughed many of those who work to investigate outbreaks. But the agency recalled many of those workers Tuesday to work on the salmonella outbreak.

Whats all this?

The energy in food is measured in units called calories. When you take in about the same number of calories your body needs to function properly, your weight stays the same. If you take in fewer than you need, youll lose weight. More, and youll gain weight (one pound for every 3,500 extra calories). As a pre-teen or teen, you may not be worried about high blood pressure, heart disease, and other illnesses linked with obesity. However, overweight teens often become overweight adults who are at risk for these diseases. Eating a balanced diet is only a part of the healthy weight equation: Getting enough exercise is the other part. Exercise burns up calories more effectively than dieting alone. When you exercise, calories burn at a faster rate. How much exercise is enough? Experts recommend at least 30 minutes of aerobic exercise (exercise that increases oxygen consumption) most days of the week. Children and teenagers should be physically active for 60 minutes every day, or most days. You dont have to run a marathon. A brisk walk, a bike ride, or a game of basketball burns calories and also helps strengthen your heart, lungs, and muscles. Choose an athlete or fitness expert youve read about and find out what he or she does to stay fit. Include information on diet, exercise, etc. If the person you select lives in your community, see if you can interview him or her in person. Watch for articles or advertisements about nontraditional ways of exercising for example, yoga or tai chi. Pick one and find out more about it. Share your findings with your class.

Its important to pay attention to what you eat, but its possible to become too concerned with food. Two eating disorders sometimes seen in teenagers, especially girls, are anorexia nervosa and bulimia. Both are serious illnesses. A person with anorexia nervosa will sometimes diet to the point of Media starvation. She may weigh only half what her normal body weight should be, but she believes shes fat. In Education She or he will deny herself food until she becomes very sick. Bulimia is a disorder in which a person binges on high calorie foods and then tries to get rid of them by vomiting or using laxatives. A healthy diet helps you maintain the weight thats right for you. Its always best to talk to your family doctor before starting any reducing diet. She can help you decide what you should weigh and how best to reach your healthy weight.

JIM METCALFE
By JIM METCALFE Sports Editor jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com I was hoping that the Alex Rodriguez fiasco would simply go away. I was hoping that the only thing I would have to write about this personage is whether his 211-game suspension was upheld or knocked down a few games. Sweet dreams are made of these, to quote Annie Lennox. Fat chance, in other words. He is now suing Major League Baseball and Commissioner Bud Selig for what he terms a witch hunt for going after his alleged violations of the leagues drug agreement and labor contract, as well as some other stuff about impeding his chance to make millions of dollars and forcing him from the game. In other words in my humble opinion, to be sure for having rules

dent all but admitted you got caught with your hands in the cookie jar if anyone has seen all the evidence that MLB has against you, he has, the grievance filed by the union notwithstanding since they are doing their job speaks volumes. Either you broke the rules in MLB or you didnt. Whether Selig came too late to the party in regards to cracking down on PEDs and such which is part of this suit and no one disputes that but he wasnt the only one and I leave that to the imagination of my 11,341 faithful readers is irrelevent; he got there and your union agreed to it. This is all in my most humble opinion. Now he is also suing the team for botching his medical care in the playoffs last season. Good grief, Charlie Brown! Breathe now! See MUSINGS, page 7

Hubers punt during storm saves Bengals

Associated Press CINCINNATI Huge drops of rain pelted the field, falling so hard that players had to blink to protect their eyes. The wind made the yellow uprights on the goal posts bob and weave. Punt in these conditions? Thats exactly what Kevin Huber had to do on Sunday. With a game on the line, no less. That was probably the heaviest (downpour) Ive ever been in, the Bengals punter said. That was pretty insane that it rained that hard for that long of a period. He came up with one of the best punts of his career, sending the ball 57 yards in the air through the driving rain. His kicked pinned the New England Patriots for those final wet minutes of a 13-6 victory at Paul Brown Stadium. The defenses performance was impressive, ending Tom Bradys streak of 52 consecutive games with a touchdown pass. Hubers kick was as good as anything the defense did. Oh, man, that was huge for us, defensive tackle Domata Peko said on Wednesday. A big punt and it came at the perfect time. We were going to give them a short field but he booted that thing all the way down. That was amazing, man. It was up there forever. That he got it off at all was impressive. The Bengals had a fourth down at their 17-yard line coming out of the two-minute warning. A storm had just moved in at Paul Brown Stadium. Big raindrops came down so hard that players felt like they were being pelted with hail.

Local Round Up
Toledo Jill Burkholders penalty kick goal got the Express womens soccer team going as they defeated Delta College 3-1 at home Wednesday. Burkholder nearly had two more goals in the first half as one shot was a laser off the left post, while another was a shot off the crossbar. Her penalty kick goal, which came after Kendyl Christian was taken down in the box, occurred at the 6:17 mark. Brittany Powell then scored what turned out to be the game winning goal at the 20:56 mark. Amber Burnette assisted on the play, which occurred directly in front of the net on the left side. Jessica Grindle added her team-high 16th goal just before the end of the first half with a header from left of the goal over the goalkeepers head. Haley Gasser was credited with an assist on the play. Delta would add a goal in the 75th minute but it was too little, too late as the Express won their eighth straight game. Megan Soncrant started her second game of the season in goal for the Express. She did not face a shot on goal in the first half before b e i n g replaced by Kalida g r a d u ate Erika Brinkman for the second half. Brinkman Brinkman allowed the lone goal, while also making one save. The Express had 11 shots on-goal, while Destiny Wallace made eight saves in goal for Delta.

Notes: The Express women (10-2) havent dropped a match since Sept. 4 as they continued their program-record winning streak. Their next action will be on Saturday at Kellogg Community College at 1 p.m. Grindle now has 16 goals and four assists this year. Burkholders goal was her ninth of the season. Powells goal was her fourth of the season. Gassers assist was her sixth of the season, while Burnettes assist was the first of the season.

Weeden getting second chance to impress

Associated Press BEREA The disgust came quickly, boos raining down from every corner of the stadium on Browns quarterback Brandon Weeden before he had barely broken a sweat. Forced into last weeks game against Buffalo after Brian Hoyer went out with a season-ending knee injury, Weeden, who began the year as Clevelands starter only to lose his job to injury and be demoted, threw a couple incompletions and then felt the enormous pressure of more than 70,000 demanding fans breathing down his neck. He could have cracked or crumbled. Instead, Weeden conquered. He turned the game and perhaps his career around. Facing adversity, it makes you stronger as a person, Weeden said. Thats life. Weedens season has turned 360 degrees in just five weeks. After spraining his right thumb in Clevelands second game, Weeden sat for two weeks while Hoyer, the lifelong Browns fan who dreamed of leading his hometown team, led Cleveland to consecutive wins. Weeden recovered but Browns coach Rob Chudzinksi decided to stick with H o y e r , dropping Weeden to a backup role. H e went into Thursdays nationallytelevised game against the Bills as Clevelands No. 2 quarterback but was thrust into action when Hoyer tore his anterior cruciate ligament. Weeden came in rusty, missed on his first two passes and then jogged to the sideline amid jeers. Weeden, though, rallied himself along with the Browns (3-2). He threw a 37-yard touchdown pass to Josh Gordon and led the Browns to a 37-24 win, putting them in first place after five games for the first time since 1995. Clevelands comeback and Weedens rebirth. Chudzinski said Weeden grew from all that he has experienced already this season. You look at being the starter, getting injured and having to sit and watch, he added. And then get thrown out into the game, early in the game where he didnt get a lot of practice time; getting booed; back and forth; and him ultimately making some big plays that helped us win that game. I think thats growth and I think that he has a sense of confidence of what hes been able to do. Well get him back out there for another week of practice and I think that will help him get better and get ready to play even more so. Weeden, who will start this week as the Browns host the Detroit Lions (3-2), said the time spent off the field was invaluable to his development.

See LEADERS, page 7

Huber jogged onto the field holding a towel, hoping to keep his hands dry so he didnt fumble the wet ball. He immediately realized that was wishful thinking. The goal: Catch the snap cleanly and get it away without having it blocked or hitting it off the side of his foot. And try not to let the wind blow it down a few yards past the line of scrimmage. Every yard was vital at that point. He got the snap and got it off so smoothly that the ball took off, cutting through the rain and wind as though it were a sunny day. Even punt returner Julian Edelman was surprised hed expected a much shorter kick and had to turn and run backward to catch up with it. He grabbed it at the New England 26-yard line and was run out of bounds at the 35, leaving the Patriots with too far to go under the worst type of weather. Even Huber was surprised the ball sailed that far. The Patriots had trouble completing passes in the downpour. Several passes were dropped and Bradys desperation pass was picked off in the closing seconds. NOTES: DE Michael Johnson, who missed the game because of a concussion, sat out practice on Wednesday. CB Leon Hall missed the last two games with a hamstring injury but returned to practice on a limited basis. Asked if he could play on Sunday at Buffalo (2-3), Hall replied, I hope so. Two weeks is long enough. RT Andre Smith also was limited in practice Wednesday by a sore shoulder.

Verlander gets ball for Cardinals beat Pirates 6-1 in Game 5 to win NLDS Game 5 against As again
By R.B. FALLSTROM Associated Press ST. LOUIS Adam Wainwright went all the way and the St. Louis Cardinals got 2-run homers from David Freese and Matt Adams to beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 6-1 on Wednesday night, advancing to the NL championship series. Wainwright scattered eight hits in his second dominant win of the division series, coming through for the Cardinals in a winner-take-all Game 5. St. Louis gets to stay at home to open the NLCS against the well-rested Los Angeles Dodgers on Friday night. The last three seasons, the Cardinals are 8-1 when facing elimination. They also won Game 5 of the NL division series at Washington last year and at Philadelphia in 2011. Freese homered in the second inning off rookie Gerrit Cole and Adams connected in the eighth against reliever Mark Melancon to make it 5-1. Pete Kozma added an RBI infield single and Wainwright finished it off by striking out Pedro Alvarez with two on. Alvarez became the first player with an RBI in his first six postseason games on a fluke hit that caromed off first base in the seventh. But the Pirates were held to one run in each of the final two games in their first playoff appearance in 21 years. They havent won a postseason series since the 1979 World Series. The 23-year-old Cole beat the Cardinals with an impressive effort in Game 2. They got to him early this time even though his fastball hit 100 mph in the first inning against Matt Holliday. Freese made the kid pay for a full-count walk to Jon Jay with two outs in the second, lining a 1-2 pitch into the visitors bullpen in left. The Pirates had the bullpen up in the fourth after Yadier Molinas infield hit and a throwing error put runners on second and third. Cole gave up just three hits over five innings but was lifted for a pinchhitter in the sixth. Freese struggled this season to overcome a back injury in spring training and had nine homers and 60 RBIs. But just like teammate Carlos Beltran, hes an October star with seven homers, 29 RBIs and a .325 average in 36 career postseason games. Adams power hitting helped the Cardinals overcame a mid-foot sprain to cleanup man Allen Craig in early September and he hammered a first-pitch fastball from Melancon well over the right-field wall for his first RBIs of the series. The Pirates scratched out their lone run on two infield hits and the single by Alvarez that looked to be a harmless inning-ending groundout before it hit the bag. Freese was a hometown hero in 2011, both the NLCS and World Series MVP. He singlehandedly got the Cardinals to Game 7 of that World Series with a 2-run triple with two outs and two strikes in the ninth and then ended Game 6 with a leadoff homer in the 11th. The snapshot moment from the title run came when Freese joyously flung his helmet between the legs a few steps from the celebration waiting at the plate. At 23 years, 31 days, Cole was the youngest NL pitcher to start Game 5 of a division series and the fifth-youngest NL pitcher to start a winner-take-all postseason game, according to STATS. Counting the postseason, Cole didnt allow a homer in six straight starts. That ended when Freese connected for a 2-0 lead in the second. By JANIE McCAULEY Associated Press OAKLAND, Calif. Its Justin Verlander and Sonny Gray, the encore. These decisive Game 5s sure are becoming familiar for Verlander. Not so much for the Oakland rookie. Just like last October in Oakland, the Tigers have been pushed to a winner-take-all fifth game in their AL division series against the Athletics. And Detroit will have Verlander on the mound again tonight after he pitched a 4-hit shutout in the 2012 clincher at the Oakland Coliseum. Well, you dont pretend. Its not just another game, Verlander said after the Tigers evened the series with an 8-6 win Tuesday at Comerica Park. The season is on the line. It was on the line for us tonight, too. This whole season, the way we battled and played as a team, comes down to one game; may the best team win. The As will counter with Gray against Verlander a second time after these two put on a pitching show Saturday night at the Coliseum. Hes a little bit of a bulldog, hes scared of nothing, manager Bob Melvin said, noting Grays experience on the big stage just last week. Everything that went on in that game factored into it. When he came up, we were into the season and a pennant race already and we threw him right into the fire and right away he pitched very well with a lot of confidence and always has that mound presence. Melvin added he doesnt know how he might use, if at all, 18-game winner and Game 1 loser Bartolo Colon, who is willing to do anything. Verlander dominated in a thrilling pitchers duel with Gray, who matched the ace as each threw zeros but had nothing to show for it in a 1-0 As win. Im not really sure we liked what we saw; it was pretty good, Tigers manager Jim Leyland said of Gray. At least weve seen him now. Verlander is riding a 22-inning postseason scoreless streak against the As and has 33 strikeouts over the past three playoff matchups with Oakland, 11 in each outing. Verlander acknowledged it would have been great to pitch the playoff opener, while also noting 21-game winner Max Scherzer more than earned the nod. Now, Verlander gets the ball for his most meaningful start this year to extend the season tonight. With Scherzer pitching in relief Tuesday, Verlander became the automatic Game 5 choice for manager Jim Leyland. Who to start was quite a choice for 2012 AL Manager of the Year Melvin, whose team is trying to avoid having the season end at the hands of Detroit for the third time in as many postseasons last year and also a 4-game sweep by the Tigers in the 2006 AL championship series. The last time the As won a winner-take-all postseason game was in Game 7 of the 1973 World Series against the New York Mets. Oakland has lost its last five Game 5s in the AL division series since 2000. The AL West champion As know whats at stake and realize full well the challenge of facing Verlander again. Last falls frustrating finish is still fresh for everybody. Verlander has hardly had the kind of dominant season like he had the past two years, including 2011 when he won both AL MVP and Cy Young Award honors. Yet that hardly affected Leylands decisionmaking as he insisted Verlanders 13-12 record was hardly indicative of how well he pitched much of the season aside from a couple of rough stretches. The Beavers will hit the road again on Saturday when they head to Richmond, Ind., to take on the Earlham College Quakers ,who currently sit at 2-0 in conference play. The match will begin at 3:30 p.m. Bluffton returns to the Sears Complex next Wednesday as Anderson University comes to town. The Ravens are currently 4-8 overall but 0-2 in HCAC play. The match is slated to start at 4 p.m. other times fans can mix it up with the players) and as close as the fans are to the court, basketball doesnt really have this going on. Whether Baseball can force teams to do such a thing, I dont know, but I imagine the powers-that-be can. In all honesty, I cant necessarily blame a fan for reaching out and trying to catch a souvenir, especially that close to the action; I imagine they are not thinking in terms of interference. Of course, the fact that this fan in particular was having Tiger fans chanting MVP! is interesting, to say the least.

Bears looking tame, Giants looking small

By BARRY WILNER Associated Press The Chicago Bears have two reasons to be in a nasty mood consecutive losses to Detroit and New Orleans. The Giants have five reasons to be ornery defeats in every game so far this season. New York is 0-5 for the first time since the 1987 strike-interrupted season and on merit. The Giants cant protect Eli Manning, who has been looking around for where the rush is coming almost as much as hes been concentrating on receivers downfield. New York already has 20 turnovers, on pace to set a humiliating league record, and Manning has been picked 12 times. Plus, the Giants cant run the ball and their only real threat at running back, David Wilson, wont play tonight because of a neck problem. On defense, the Giants rank 26th and cant manufacture a pass rush. The secondary has been a mess and is ravaged by injuries. Not a pretty picture. You just keep working and keep trying to improve and find out the mistakes Im making and correct those, Manning said. If there are mistakes within the offense that are mental, if there are things we can do better, get everybody on the same page and how do you fix those mistakes? Just have a positive attitude and keep working, knowing that we can get to play at a better level. Chicagos level hasnt been very high since winning its first three games. It cant have helped the Bears mindset that top receiver Brandon Marshall complained about not seeing the ball enough after teammate Alshon Jeffery set a Bears record with 218 yards receiving. Two weeks ago in Detroit, we didnt take care of the football, first-year coach Marc Trestman said. We moved the football but didnt take care of the football. Our defense turned it over for us and we didnt take advantage of that. Last week, we had a poor start. We werent consistent throughout the game. Chicago (No. 12 in the AP Pro32) is an 8-point favorite over the spiraling Giants (No. 31, AP Pro32). Poor starts, inconsistency even with those traits, the Bears can handle the Giants. BEARS, 30-20 No. 9 Cincinnati (minus 7 1/2) at No. 23 Buffalo Not the best defense for QB Thad Lewis to make Bills debut against. BEST BET: BENGALS, 20-7 No. 26 (tie) Washington (plus 5 1/2) at No. 14 Dallas Just a feeling the Redskins will be ready after their bye, Cowboys will be down after brutal loss to Denver. UPSET SPECIAL: REDSKINS, 30-28 No. 2 New Orleans (plus 2 1/2) at No. 7 New England Brees vs. Brady. Drew has far more to work with right now. SAINTS, 31-23 No. 32 Jacksonville (plus 27) at No. 1 Denver Time to swallow hard and lay the points. BRONCOS, 47-13 No. 24 Oakland (plus 9) at

Round up

No. 4 Kansas City Shouldnt be too much of a test for Chiefs, despite bitter rivalry. CHIEFS, 20-13 No. 7 Green Bay (minus 3) at No. 10 Baltimore Packers making too many mistakes on road. RAVENS, 24-21 No. 11 Detroit (minus 2 1/2) at No. 16 Cleveland Lions making too many mistakes on road as well. BROWNS, 24-21 No. 29 Pittsburgh (plus 1) at No. 17 New York Jets Pittsburgh off bye, New York off short week, Jets rarely beat Steelers. STEELERS, 20-17 No. 5 Indianapolis (minus 1 1/2) at No. 20 San Diego, Monday night No way Colts looking ahead to Peytons visit next week. Well, maybe a little. COLTS, 24-23 No. 15 Tennessee (plus 13 1/2) at No. 3 Seattle Seahawks just too tough at home for a so-so opponent with injuries.

Beaver men stunned in OT By Ryan Schadewald Sports information assistant CINCINNATI, Ohio - A goal with less than a minute left in regulation and another with a

little over a minute left in the first overtime for Mount St Joseph stunned the Beavers who were looking for their first conference win in over two calendar years on Wednesday. The 2-1 loss was a heartbreaker for the Beavers, who fell to 0-9 overall and 0-2 in HCAC play. The Lions improved to 2-10 and earned their first HCAC win (1-1) of the season. After a scoreless first half, Beaver freshman Grant Stutzman was able to power one into the back of the net with the assist from Peter Carlson to give the visitors a 1-0 lead in the 66th minute. The Beavers looked set for a victory until a free kick during the final minute. The Lions

were able to get the ball into the box and power a header into the back of the net and stun the Beavers, tying the match at 1-1 and sending the contest to extra time. The overtime period was dominated by the home team as they outshot Bluffton 4-0. The MSJ goal finally came in the 99th minute off of a corner kick from Christopher Earls. He centered a pass that Shane Hall put in the net to give the Lions a 2-1 victory.

I watched replays of the disputed call in Tuesday nights Oakland Athletics at Detroit Tigers playoff series, the non-fan interference call on the homer hit by Victor Martinez; rightfielder Josh Reddick felt he was in position to make what would have been a great catch to rob the homer. There wasnt much to really decide one way or the other. I could see where he might have caught it and yet, he might not have. The umps, after using the very same replays I was see-

ing, ruled that he wouldnt have caught the ball, there was no interference and thus calling it a home run. Replay is not a panacea, that is for sure. There will still be plays that come down to human judgement, rightly or wrongly. What most of the comments I have heard were about that I somewhat agree is that Baseball needs to somehow stop this from happening, like putting in mesh fences to keep fans from reaching into the field of play. In football and hockey, this is a non-issue (as far as interrupting play; there are

WASHINGTON (AP) House Republican leaders are considering a shortterm increase in the U.S. debt limit as a possible way to break the gridlock that threatens the nation with an unprecedented default in as little as a week, officials said Wednesday night. These officials said there is far less urgency inside the leadership about ending the current nine-day partial government shutdown, which has caused inconvenience and financial concern for many individual Americans but appears not to threaten the widespread economic damage a default might bring. The officials declined to say what conditions, if any, might be attached to legislation to raise the $16.7 trillion debt limit for an undetermined period, perhaps a few weeks or months. The GOP rank and file is expected to meet privately to discuss the issue today, before a delegation led by Speaker John Boehner goes to the White House to meet with President Barack Obama. The officials describing the developments late Wednesday spoke only on condition of anonymity, saying they were not authorized to disclose details of private deliberations. Obama has said he wont agree to sign a debt limit increase if conditions are attached. Republicans indicated several days ago they intended to seek spending cuts to reduce deficits, measures to roll back environmental regulations and changes in the nations 3-year-old health care law. More recently, the GOP-controlled House has passed legislation to create a 20-member group of lawmakers from the House and Senate to negotiate over those and other issues. The bill makes no mention of an

AP Sources: GOP weighs short-term debt limit hike

increase in the debt limit, but the two topics could be combined in a potential face-saving way out of the impasse. The disclosures came as Obama met at the White House in late afternoon for more than an hour with House Democrats. He told them that while he would prefer legislation extending the Treasurys borrowing ability beyond the next election, he would also sign a shorter-term bill. Treasury Secretary Jack Lew has told lawmakers they must raise the debt limit by Oct. 17 to avoid risking a default, but neither house has yet scheduled a vote. In the Senate, Democrats have proposed a no-strings-attached $1 trillion increase in borrowing authority that is designed to prevent a recurrence of the current confrontation before the 2014 elections. A test vote is scheduled for the weekend, and Republicans have yet to indicate how vigorously they might oppose it. In addition to House leadership conversations, a group of conservatives met privately during the day for what several officials described as a wide-ranging discussion on the debt limit and the threat or lack of it posed by default. No consensus was reached, but among those who spoke was Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., the 2012 GOP vice presidential candidate who is chairman of the House Budget Committee and a prominent deficit hawk. In an op-ed article published during the day in The Wall Street Journal, he wrote, We need to pay our bills todayand make sure we can pay our bills tomorrow. So lets negotiate an agreement to make modest reforms to entitlement programs and the tax code. Raising the cost of Medicare for better-off beneficiaries and making changes to the tax code are perennials in budget negotiations, and precisely the type of item Obama says he is willing to discuss but only after the government is open and the debt limit raised. The private conversations stood in contrast to political maneuvering that characterized the day at the Capitol. Its approval ratings scraping bottom, Congress took no discernible steps to end the nine-day partial government shutdown or to head off threatened default. Instead, the House passed legislation that the Obama administration already had rendered unnecessary on providing death benefits to families of military forces who die while Boehner and Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi met face-to-face and promptly disagreed even about which side had requested the get-together. Enough is enough, said Barry Black, the Senate chaplain who has delivered a series of pointed sermonettes in recent days as lawmakers careen from crisis to crisis. Evidently not. With Lew on tap to testify before lawmakers today, officials said he was expected to reiterate that Congress needed to raise the governments borrowing limit by Oct. 17 to be sure of preventing default. Despite warnings from leaders of both political parties that a financial default could plunge the economy into recession, cause interest rates to rise and home values to plummet, one Republican lawmaker, Rep. Mo Brooks of Ala., said a default wouldnt be the worst calamity to befall the country. Insolvency and bankruptcy would be worse, he said, warning that that would be the result of yet another increase in the debt limit without attaching measures to bring down the federal budget deficit. The nations largest manager of money market mutual funds was taking no chances. It said it had been selling off government debt holdings over the past couple of weeks and no longer held any that would come due around the time the nation could hit its borrowing limit. Fidelity Investments expects Congress to take the necessary steps to avoid default, but we have to take precautionary measures, said Nancy Prior, president of Fidelitys Money Market Group The partial shutdown ground on, although an Associated Press-GfK poll suggested the impact was anything but uniform. Only 17 percent of those polled said they or their households had experienced any impact, while 81 percent said they had not. Whos fault? Some 62 percent said Republicans were mostly or entirely to blame for the partial shutdown, which began on Oct. 1, while 49 percent said as much for President Barack Obama. There was widespread agreement on one point. The country is widely dissatisfied with elected lawmakers. A new Gallup poll put approval for Congress at 11 percent, a mere one in every nine adults. The AP-GfK survey made it 5 percent approval and only 3 percent among independents, whose votes are the main prize in next falls midterm elections. Nationally, a whopping 83 percent of adults disapprove of Congress actions. Inside the Capitol, neither private meetings nor public votes offered any hint of progress toward ending the latest gridlock.

US cutting hundreds of millions in aid to Egypt

WASHINGTON (AP) The United States on Wednesday cut hundreds of millions of dollars in aid to its Mideast ally Egypt, responding to the military ouster last summer of the nations first democratically elected president and the crackdown on protesters that has sunk the country into violent turmoil. While the State Department did not provide a dollar amount of what was being withheld, most of it is linked to military aid. In all, the U.S. provides $1.5 billion in aid each year to

It can be operated with the keyboard, touch screen or stylus. The system costs $3,100 and a new desk and chair will be needed. The final item on the list is a generator to keep the librarys heating and cooling systems running as well as some lighting. The availability of the alternative power source will make the library a safe area in the event of a widespread power outage. The generator is $6,500 installed. Trustees also passed a resolution to be sent to area Congressmen concerning the cost of purchasing eBooks. A average price of a hardcover book is $15. The average cost to a library for an eBook is $75. Following an executive session, the trustees rehired custodian Norb Renner.

Egypt. Officials said the aid being withheld included 10 Apache helicopters at a cost of more than $500 million, M1A1 tank kits and Harpoon anti-ship missiles. The U.S. also is withholding $260 million in cash assistance to the government until credible progress is made toward an inclusive government set up through free and fair elections. The U.S. had already suspended the delivery of four F-16 fighter jets and canceled biennial U.S.-Egyptian military exercises.
