50 daily www.delphosherald.com BY STEPHANIE GROVES Staff Writer sgroves@delphosherald.com DELPHOS Allen County voters are being asked to support a .3-mill 5-year replacement Senior Citizen Services levy on the ballot on Nov. 5. Director of the Delphos Senior Citizens Center Joyce Hale said the replacement levy is something different than past levies. The levy is a replacement based on current land valuation as compared to the original 1989 levy. Monies generated from this levy will provide services and facilities for senior citizens in Allen County served by the following agencies: Allen County Council on Aging, Inc.; Delphos Senior Citizens, Inc.; Senior Citizens Services, Inc.; and Senior Citizens Association of Bluffton. The $616,365 generated by the levy will remain in Allen County and all of it comes back to our communities, Hale said. All the money that comes to us comes with an obligation to meet the communities needs. The agencies work very closely together and offer different services and assistance. Each facility provides information and referrals to residents guiding them to any programs and services offered at the other county and state agencies. For example, Delphos Senior Citizens Center does not have a

swimming pool, Hale said. If a resident in Delphos needs a pool for water therapy, we can give them all the information they need and even transport them to the Lima facility, which does have a pool. Delphos Senior Citizens provides many services at no charge and do accept donations for services. Funds received by the agencies from the levy will be used to provide services for Allen County elderly residents. Funds are also matched with federal and state grant monies to increase local service dollars and bring taxpayers dollars back into our county. Elderly persons in our county have given much of themselves to make Allen County a wonderful place to live, Hale said. We provide services to help seniors live productive, healthier and independent lives so that they may remain living in their own homes with dignity and choice as long as possible. As the population ages, the demand for service increases. Service dollars are stretched to their limits. The services provided contribute to a better quality of life for senior citizens within Allen County. Passage of the replacement levy will help provide services and assistance, including the Elderly Day Care Center, living wills, durable power of attorney/health-

Hale said the levy passed the last time with 75 percent of the vote. Although times are hard, she is confident that if people get out and vote, the levy will pass. An Allen County resident owning a $50,000 home would pay $5.25 per year, Hale said. For more information, call Hale at the center at 419-6921331.

Putnam County EMS places levy on November ballot

BY NANCY KLINE DHI Correspondent news@delphosherald.com GLANDORF Putnam County EMS is asking for voter approval for a .65-mill continuing levy on the Nov. 5 ballot. The levy would cost $22.50 per year for the owner of a $100,000 home. Steve Odenweller, the Putnam County EMS Coordinator, said the levy is necessary to provide additional staffing to reduce run response times, increase volunteer reimbursement and to increase education opportunities. Odenweller indicated that recent changes in the economy and the aging of EMS Putnam County volunteers has made it necessary to employ additional full-time EMTs and paramedics. He said more women working and the increased requirements of continuing education for volunteers put a time crunch

Proceeds from the show benefit CHPs Van Wert Inpatient Hospice Center. Applications are available online at www.comhealthpro.org/Ohio_has_Talent. php. For more information, call Kim Mason at 419-238-0200.

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 419-228-4457. All clinics are contingent upon vaccine supply availability. This year, the flu vaccine is being rec-

ommended 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.

on volunteers who try to maintain a full-time job. Also, since 1977, Putnam County has seen a 200-percent increase in run volume, while seeing a decrease in volunteerism. In 1977, there were 1,559 EMS runs in the county. Last year, the county had 3,090 EMS runs. The number of volunteers in the county in 1980 was 131 members. This number is currently at 103 volunteers. Unfortunately, this increased number of runs and decreased number of volunteers has resulted in an increase in response time for EMS calls, Odenweller said. In 1992 the average response time in Putnam County was 8.5 minutes. Last year the average was 13.16 minutes. We are going in the wrong direction, the EMS director indicated. When there is a medical emergency, it is critical that we get there as quickly as possible. See EMS, page 10

Sandwich Spread FDA wants limits on most prescribed painkillers

WASHINGTON (AP) The Food and Drug Administration is recommending new restrictions on prescription medicines containing hydrocodone, the highly addictive painkiller that has grown into the most widely prescribed drug in the U.S. In a major policy shift, the agency said in an online notice Thursday that hydrocodone-containing drugs should be subject to the same restrictions as other narcoticIn drugs oxycothelike Deli done and morphine. The move comes more than a decade after the Drug Enforcement Agency first asked the FDA to reclassify hydrocodone so that it would be subject to the same restrictions as other addictive painkilling drugs. The FDA did not issue a formal announcement about its decision, which has lb. long been sought by many patient advocates, doctors and state and federal lawmakers. For decades, hydrocodone has been easier to prescribe, in part because it is only sold in combination pills and formulas with other non-addictive ingredients like aspirin and acetaminophen.

BRIEFS

States senators split on reaction to health overhaul

CINCINNATI (AP) Ohios U.S. senators disagreed Thursday on what should happen to President Barack Obamas health care overhaul in the wake of technical problems that have plagued the Healthcare.gov website. Democrat Sherrod Brown, of Cleveland, said longtime opponents of the law want to use the technical problems as an excuse to try again to block it. Republican Rob Portman, of the Cincinnati area, said the malfunctions are an indicator of whats ahead if rollout of the complex health care law continues. A number of politicians, all of whom have good taxpayer-financed health insurance, have wanted to kill this, and not just delay it, but out-and-out kill it, Brown said. Ultimately, weve got to make this work. Portman said the overhaul is a big government program that will hurt the U.S. economy, and the websites technical malfunctions highlights that the Obama administration doesnt have its act together on the health care plan. Its not a glitch. Its a breakdown, Portman said. Its much more serious than

STATE/LOCAL

the kind of a glitch you might have on some app on your iPhone that doesnt work the first day, but the second day gets fixed. The Obama administration has said the computer system wasnt properly tested and blamed a compressed time frame for meeting the Oct. 1 deadline to open the insurance markets. Two contractors responsible for building the site testified in front of Congress Thursday that they would have liked more time to test it. U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said her agency is bringing in more experts and specialists from government and industry to improve the system. Portman said the Obama plan should be replaced with something that works better. Brown said there is strong public interest in carrying out the overhaul. Neither lawmaker wants Sebelius, daughter of late Ohio Gov. John Gilligan, to be ousted. I dont think shes done a great job, Portman said, but I dont think firing her is going to solve the problem.

4 The Herald

It was in 1775 that General George Washington authorized chaplains in the Continental Army. Purity of Morals, he wrote, three years later, provided the only sure foundation of publick happiness in any Country and thus was highly conducive to order, subordination and success in an Army. Purity of Morals might have provided unity during the American Revolution, but chaplains face more divisive issues decades after the Sexual Revolution. No Catholic priest or deacon may be forced by any authority to witness or bless the union of couples of the same gender, wrote Archbishop for the Military Services Timothy Broglio, in guidelines released last month. No Catholic priest or deacon can be obliged to assist at a Strong Bonds or other Marriage Retreat, if that gathering is also open to couples of the same gender. A priest who is asked to counsel non-Catholic parties in a same-gendered relationship will direct them to a chaplain who is able to assist. The archbishops missive followed a remarkably similar memorandum from Southern Baptist Convention leaders, including former U.S. Army Chief of Chaplains Douglas Carver, a retired two-star general. It stressed that Southern Baptist chaplains must teach that all forms of sexual immorality, including adultery, homosexuality and pornography, are equally destructive to healthy marital relations.

Military chaplains back on front lines

TERRY MATTINGLY

On Religion
However, the documents main purpose was to offer guidance on issues emerging after Pentagon decisions to embrace same-sex marriage and to allow gays and lesbians to openly serve in the armed forces. Southern Baptist chaplains, stressed the guidelines, could not conduct or attend same-sex union rites or join in counseling sessions or retreats that give the appearance of accepting ... sexual wrongdoing. The document also drew a stark line between the work of SBC chaplains and those representing liberal traditions, saying they should not lead worship services with any clergyperson who personally practices or affirms a homosexual lifestyle or such conduct. While one Army manual says chaplains are not obligated to perform duties contrary to their faith traditions, tenets and beliefs, other regulations stress that all chaplains must be willing to provide religious support for all personnel in their care.

The Chaplain Activities in the United States Army volume notes, for example, that while chaplains remain fully accountable to the code of ethics and ecclesiastical standards of their endorsing faith group this does not relieve them from their duty to provide adequate religious support to accomplish the mission. Thus, its significant that Army materials promoting the chaplain-led Strong Bonds program indicate that its mission is to help all soldiers -- singles, unmarried couples and families -- thrive in the turbulence of the military environment. It will be impossible for doctrinally conservative clergy to avoid same-gender couples and families in that context. Thus, its time for some chaplains to quit, according to a manifesto from the Military Association of Atheists and Freethinkers entitled, Didnt Southern Baptists Just Resign as Military Chaplains? The SBC policy is encouraging because it is an honest representation of the previous unwritten anti-gay stance of the SBC ... but is discouraging in that it does not take full responsibility and resign explicitly from a military chaplaincy they clearly do not wish to partake in, said the MilitaryAtheists.org analysis. The policy as written may potentially be copied by other endorsing agencies who share the same view of scripture. If other agencies

follow suit, potentially 50 percent of military chaplains may be affected. Clearly, the nations two largest churches do play crucial roles in the chaplaincy program. A mere 234 priests serve the 25 percent of all military personnel who are Catholics. The Southern Baptist Convention has more than 1,500 approved chaplains, more than any other faith group. Americas military leaders will have to decide if doctrinally conservative chaplains will be allowed to honor their religious vows or not, said the Rev. Russell Moore, leader of the SBCs Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission, in a forum last week. The current trend, he said, is to view chaplains as carriers of the American civil religion, in a way that seeks to counsel and to do some religious duties but not to actually be Roman Catholics or Evangelicals or Latterday Saints or Muslims or what have you. I think that is troubling. ... I believe in religious pluralism in the public square where everyone comes as he or she is into the public square for more dialogue and not less.

To their credit, at the 2012 annual meeting the board voted that as of Sept. 1, 2013, all Southdown sheep consigned to national level sales will have to be ectodermal dysplasia free and as of Jan. 1, 2014, all sheep entered in national level shows will have to be free as well. Never again will Southdown enthusiasts have to suffer the emotional and financial disappointment of hairy lambs. Dont rock the boat? No. If the boat needs rocked, then rock the hell out of it. Thats how things get done. Thank you, Dad. And thank you, Dr. Beever.

Kirkpatrick gets Joseph, Pohlman, other locals CB bigger role with Bengals prepping for Tiffin Regionals
By JIM METCALFE Staff Writer jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com St. Johns cross country runners Megan Joseph and Curtis Pohlman will be in somewhat familiar territory at Saturdays Diviaion III Regional meet at Tiffins HedgesBoyer Park. Joseph, a senior, will be running in her third regionals; the only time she did not make it this far was as a sophomore, when she was injured. However, she knows she hasnt exactly set the world on fire when she has run in the regionals before I havent set any personal records at regionals; I havent run my best times there, she explained. I usually dont mind running when its colder which it generally is at regionals but when you throw in the strong competition, of how the atmosphere and course are more fan-friendly but how difficult the course actually is, of how talented the runners are and how well you have to run to stay within reach of the leaders, I think I let all that get to me. Last year, it was so muddy at Tiffin; you had to worry so much about slipping and that distracts you. I got a little disoriented. For example, when I got to the 2-mile break, I thought it was the first mile, thats how out of it I was. Joseph, who qualified to regionals with a 21:23.9 on the muddy Ottawa Memorial Park turf (good for 11th), knows that this is her final scholastic cross country race and how she has to be mentally tough. I just have to be really focused on running, no matter the weather, the competition or the crowd. I think that is an area I have improved a lot this year, she added. I had my PR this year, so I know I can run well. I just have to run my race and not think about anything else. I think I was overwhelmed last year; I hope it wont happen again. I have to run and not think about the pain or the cold or anything. For Pohlman, a sophomore, he ran in the regionals as a freshman but that was all the way across the state at Youngstown. That course was really slippery because of all the rain they had there. I also didnt know any of my competition and as a freshman, with the environment and everything, that all got to me, he explained. I will be at Tiffin this year; we had a practice run Wednesday to get acclimated and I hope it helps me come Saturday. Pohlman, who clinched 13th place at the Ottawa District with a clocking of 18:07.1, figures that By JOE KAY Associated Press CINCINNATI Dre Kirkpatrick is getting his chance to show that he was worth a first-round pick. The Bengals need help at cornerback with Leon Hall sidelined by another Achilles tendon injury. Theyre counting on Kirkpatrick, who has missed much of his first two seasons with injuries. Now, its his chance. I feel like I have been ready, Kirkpatrick said. I am not going to broadcast it or get pouty about it. I am just going to continue to work, continue to practice and just go every day like its my last day out there. The 2012 17th overall pick from Alabama hasnt been on the defense very much. He missed most of his rookie season with knee injuries and a concussion that limited him to five games. With the knee fully recovered, he made impressive plays during training camp, an indication he was ready to start playing a part in one of the leagues best defenses. With Hall, Terence Newman and Adam Pacman Jones established as the top three cornerbacks, Kirkpatrick was still limited mostly to special teams when the season started. He missed two games with a hamstring injury. Kirkpatrick got in for nine plays on defense during a win at Buffalo two weeks ago and had a season-high 10 plays during a 27-24 victory in Detroit, where Hall severely injured his right Achilles tendon. Kirkpatrick would cover top receivers at Alabama. The Bengals have used him more as an extra cornerback covering receivers in the slot, something hed never done until he got to the NFL. The Bengals have to decide how theyre going to reconfigure their secondary safety Chris Crocker also can play as an extra cornerback. The Bengals (5-2) play the New York Jets (4-3) on Sunday at Paul Brown Stadium. Kirkpatrick I think well be all right, Jones said. Of course well miss Leon. He made a whole bunch of plays, so theres no way you replace that guy. But theres a lot of guys in here that are just ready to step up. Kirkpatrick had an especially tough time during a preseason game against Dallas that has stuck with him. Hes gone back and reviewed the video on several occasions to remind himself what happens when he doesnt do everything correctly in coverage. It was one of those games and one of those days that lots of great players have, added Kirkpatrick, who repeatedly gave up completions. Youve got to continue to work through it and improve every day. I learned my lesson. I look at my notes and continue to still watch that game. I know what a butt-whipping feels like and I dont want that feeling no more. Calvin Johnson, the leagues top receiver, caught a 27-yard touchdown pass with Kirkpatrick in coverage Sunday but there wasnt much any cornerback could do to stop it. He played good this week when he had to come in the fire, Jones added. The one catch Calvin caught, he had perfect coverage on him. He came in and played the nickel (defense) real good for his first time coming in. As long as hes playing with confidence, hell be all right. Defensive backs coach Mark Carrier said Kirkpatrick has improved a lot since that bad game in Dallas. Leaps and bounds better, Carrier explained. And its ironic because after that situation in Dallas, one of the first persons to go up to him and share some things with him was Leon Hall. He kind of let him know about his tough day he had back when he first came into the league. He said you can learn from it and get better from it and I think Dre did. Given his limited time on the field last season, Kirkpatrick is still a rookie in terms of on-field experience. Carrier has watched him improve in practice as this season goes along. Hell be the first one to tell you: When hes healthy, he can go out there and play (well), Carrier added. Everyones time comes, and he knew his time was coming soon. Notes : DE Wallace Gilberry (knee) and WR Marvin Jones (shoulder) were held out of practice Thursday. Jones landed hard on his left shoulder while making a touchdown catch in Detroit. CB Terence Newman (ankle) and MLB Rey Maualuga (hamstring) were limited in practice.

St. Johns senior Megan Joseph (right) and sophomore Curtis Pohlman (left) will be running in Saturdays Division III Regional cross country meet at Tiffins Hedges-Boyer Park. (Photos submitted) familiarity will help his efforts come Saturday. I know who my competition is because Ive been running against them a lot. I have something to compare myself against and how I have done over the last two years, he added. Last year, I didnt have a clue who I was really up against outside of seeing their times from districts. I fell behind and couldnt catch up. The goal this year is to not let that happen. I ran a 17:46 this year and my goal is a 17:31. I think that would put me in the top half of the meet. Other locals getting ready to rumble at Tiffin in the Division III race include the Lincolnview boys team second in the District 1 race at Ottawa led by Bayley Tow (3rd; 17:08.9), Alex Rodriguez (9th; 17:27.9), Ben Bilimek (17th; 18:12.6), Travis Lippi (18th; 18:24.5), Trevor Neate (19th; 18:31.5), Colton Snyder (22nd; 18:39) and Tracey West (28th; 19:07). The Crestview boys finished third in the District 1 race at districts: Mycah Grandstaff (7th; 17:24.8), Charles Thornburg (10th; 17:44.5), Branden Clayton (14th; 18:08.5), Bryce Richardson (16th; 18:10.6), Cody Mefferd (30th; 19:12.1), Adam Saylor (35th; 19:30) and Copsey Bogle (43rd; 19:55.8). In the District 2 boys race, Columbus Grove grabbed top honors: Colton Grothaus (3rd; 17:06.5), Jerry Kesselmayer (7th; 17:39.6), Logan Douglas (8th; 17:40.8), Lee Altenburger (9th; 17:50.7), Bryce Sharrits (18th; 18:10.12), Alex Tabler (29th; 19:04.7 and Zach Shafer (35th; 19:14.8). On the girls side, Spencervilles crew tied for fourth in the District 1 race and advanced: Cierra Adams (8th; 20:53.9), Karri Purdy (13th; 21:26), Tori Hardesty (19th; 22:32.6), Kacie Mulholland (29th; 23:10.6), Megan Miller (39th; 23:51.2) and Tesa Horton (57th; 26:26.8) Kalidas Katelyn is the lone LadyCat to advance as she finished fourth at districts (20:33.8). In Division II, both Van Werts boys and girls teams clinched runner-up status. On the boys side: Connor Holliday (3rd; 16:36), Connor Shaffer (9th; 17:07.7), Jordan Butler (11th; 17:22.9), Cade Fleming (12th; 17:23.2), Daniel Perry (14th; 17:24.7), Eric Easley (28th; 18:27) and Ryan Rice (34th; 18:43).

Sports Briefs

Associated Press BASEBALL BOSTON With the Boston Red Sox back in the World Series, television ratings jumped for the opener. Bostons 8-1 win over the St. Louis Cardinals drew an 8.6 national rating, a 14 share and 14.4 million viewers, Nielsen Media Research announced Thursday. The rating was up 13 percent from the 7.6/12 for San Franciscos 8-3 victory over Detroit last year, which was a record low for a World Series opener. Wednesday nights game was seen by 14.4 million viewers, an 18 percent increase from 12.2 million last year and the most-watched Series opener since the Giants 11-7 win over Texas in 2010 was seen by 15 million. Wednesdays game peaked with 16.9 million viewers during the second inning, when the Red Sox scored twice and took a 5-0 lead. The rating is the percentage of television households tuned to a program; the share is the percentage tuned to a broadcast among the TV households with sets on at the time. BOSTON Jake Peavy will start Game 3 of the World Series for the Boston Red Sox. Red Sox manager John Farrell confirmed before Game 2 that he is flipping Peavy and Clay Buchholz. Farrell said Buchholz, who has an undisclosed ailment, could use an extra day of rest. Buchholz gave up five runs in eight innings and two runs in five innings in his AL championship series starts against Detroit. Peavy gave up seven runs in three innings in his only ALCS start. PRO FOOTBALL LONDON The Dallas Cowboys, Detroit Lions and Miami Dolphins will travel to London next year to take part in the NFL International Series, the league announced Thursday. The NFL will hold three games at Wembley Stadium in 2014, with the Jacksonville Jaguars, Atlanta Falcons and Oakland Raiders as the designated home teams. The lineup: Cowboys vs. Jaguars, Lions vs. Falcons and Dolphins vs. Raiders. Dates are to be determined. Last month, the Minnesota Vikings beat the Pittsburgh Steelers at Wembley. NEW YORK MetLife Stadium has passed a power test in preparations for Februarys Super Bowl, an organizer announced Thursday, as the NFL hopes to avoid a repeat of last winters power outage at New Orleans Superdome that delayed the game a half hour. A recent test of electrical systems at the Meadowlands sports complex in East Rutherford, N.J., was successful but for a few minor issues, announced Al Kelly, head of the host committee for the Super Bowl. He would not be more specific. Speaking at a meeting of business leaders in midtown

Manhattan, Kelly said the test was conducted on a recent weekend when both the New York Giants and New York Jets played road games. All the buildings in the Meadowlands complex, including the Izod Center and Meadowlands Racetrack, were powered up at the same time to simulate conditions for the Super Bowl. Other tests were also done. At last Februarys game, the partial power outage delayed the Super Bowl matchup between the Baltimore Ravens and San Francisco 49ers by 34 minutes. An outside expert hired by New Orleans utility Entergy and Superdome management concluded the outage was caused by a design flaw in an electrical relay device. Entergy said it had installed the device specifically to prevent a power failure at the game. Kelly said he has had numerous meetings with Public Service Electric & Gas, the utility that provides power to the Meadowlands, adding safeguards have been taken, including replacing some equipment and adding others, planning for bringing in additional generators and adding extra security to guard against the possibility of sabotage. The Super Bowl next year will be the first held outdoors in a cold-weather locale. Kelly joked that as soon as the power failure occurred at the Superdome, he almost welcomed the opportunity to talk about something other than the weather. Organizers have dubbed the game the first public transportation Super Bowl and are encouraging fans to take trains or buses, noting that about half of MetLife Stadiums 25,000-plus parking spaces will be taken up by security personnel and equipment. ST. LOUIS St. Louis Rams coach Jeff Fisher declined to address reports he tried to lure Brett Favre out of retirement to replace Sam Bradford, who is out for the season with a knee injury. Fisher changed the subject after practice Thursday, then replied Nice try when asked whether the 44-year-old Favre could be ready to play. Kellen Clemens, the backup the past two seasons, makes his 13th career start Monday night against the Seattle Seahawks. The Rams also signed Brady Quinn and Austin Davis. Fisher added he wouldnt discuss players contacted after Bradford tore his left ACL on Sunday at Carolina, although he confirmed Tyler Thigpen also worked out.

NASCAR to mandate baseline concussion testing

By JENNA FRYER Associated Press CHARLOTTE, N.C. NASCAR will require baseline concussion testing for its drivers starting next season. NASCAR had only recommended the testing this season but indicated to drivers that a preseason baseline screening could become mandatory as early as 2014. The baseline test will be compared with test results taken after a driver has crashed to help diagnose a concussion. NASCAR made this decision because we think it is important to drivers health for doctors to have the best information and tools available in evaluating injuries, said Steve ODonnell, NASCAR vice president of racing operations. Drivers were informed of the mandate during a Thursday meeting at the R&D Center in Concord with top NASCAR officials that lasted nearly two hours and covered a variety of topics concerning 2014 changes. The baseline testing will be performed through the widely used neurocognitive assessment ImPACT test, which evaluates an athletes verbal and visual memory, processing speed and reaction time. Before announcing this rule, we provided drivers concussion and baseline testing education and created opportunities for them to ask any questions they may have to a top neurosurgeon that specializes in traumatic brain injuries, ODonnell explained. ImPACT tests are not new to our sport and have been used for treatment through the years. See NASCAR, page 7

Wacha, Cards top Red Sox, tie World Series at 1

By BEN WALKER Associated Press BOSTON Michael Wacha won again in October and the St. Louis Cardinals got just enough help from Boston, beating the Red Sox 4-2 Thursday night to tie the World Series at 1-all. Down 2-1 after David Ortiz hit a 2-run homer in the sixth, the Cardinals rallied for three runs in the seventh to end Bostons 9-game winning streak in the World Series that started with a sweep of St. Louis in 2004. Matt Carpenters tying sacrifice fly set off a chain of Red Sox misplays. Catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia let the wide throw home skip off his glove, then pitcher Craig Breslow made a wild toss that wound up in the Fenway Park seats. Carlos Beltran followed with an RBI single. Wacha improved to 4-0 this month, pretty impressive for any pitcher, let alone a 22-year-old rookie. Trevor Rosenthal struck out the side in the ninth for a save. John Lackey took the loss. Game 3 is Saturday night at Busch Stadium. Jake Peavy is set to start for Boston against Joe Kelly. Wacha had already extended his scoreless streak to 18 2/3 innings a record for a rookie in a single postseason before Ortiz tagged him in the sixth. A day after Ortiz homered after nearly hitting a grand slam earlier in an 8-1 romp, Big Papi connected for his fifth home run of this postseason and 17th of his career. Dustin Pedroia drew a 1-out walk and, with the Fenway Park crowd on its feet, Ortiz hit a full-count changeup over the wall in left-center field for a 2-1 edge. Ortiz acknowledged his faithful fans, emerging from the dugout for a curtain call. It was just Bostons third hit off Wacha, who slammed his glove onto the bench when the inning ended. Lackey worked around four hits in slowing the Cardinals. He pitched a day after turning 35 it was his first Series start since 2002 when, as a rookie for the Angels, he beat Barry Bonds and San Francisco in Game 7. Matt Holliday lined a leadoff triple into the oddly configured triangle in center field in the fourth and scored on Yadier Molinas chopper. The Cardinals 1-0 lead marked the first time theyd been ahead of the Red Sox in October for quite a while. Boston never trailed while sweeping St. Louis in the 2004 Series and was ahead from the beginning Wednesday night. Beltran started for the Cardinals in right field, returning from an injury that forced him out of the opener. Beltran exited in the third inning and went to a hospital, shortly after bruising his ribs when he rammed into the short bullpen wall while taking away a grand

By RUSTY MILLER Associated Press best games ever: 22-of-27 passes for 222 yards and 2 TDs with no interceptions and 18 rushes for 102 net yards. Miller spoke with friends and family about his mindset. He recalled his father told him, Just like last year, lets have fun. Just make plays, go out there and have fun with your teammates. He also spoke with his teammates. Me and him talked about that during the week. I was just telling him, Just relax. You cant worry about making mistakes while youre out there. Thats the last thing that anybody should be worried about. You cant be nervous. Weve been playing this game all of our lives, so theres no reason to be nervous, Brown recalled he told Miller. I told him to just go out there, have fun, dont worry about making mistakes, dont try to be perfect. It doesnt really matter what the critics say because whether you do good or do bad theres always going to be something wrong. Penn State coach Bill OBrien believes Miller is better than hes ever been. Hes obviously a hard-working kid whos throwing the ball very well, OBrien said. Hes accurate. Hes making plays on third down in the passing game. He obviously understands coverage, and hes just doing a really, really good job of running that offense in all facets. OBrien said it figures that a talented team would have a talented QB. You dont win 19 games in a row or you dont get to 7-0 and No. 4 in the country without being an excellent quarterback, he added. And thats what he is. SCARLET, GRAY AND PINK: Pink will be added to the color scheme of the Buckeyes when they play Penn State Saturday at 8 p.m. at Ohio Stadium. Players will wear pink towels, gloves, wristbands and socks, while coaches and staff will have shirts with pink accents. All are to promote the Breast Cancer Awareness campaign. THE PANCAKE MAN: Former Buckeye and NFL star Orlando Pace will be honored at Saturdays game. Pace, voted into the College Football Hall of Fame, starred with the Buckeyes from 1994-96. He was known as the Pancake Man for flattening his opponents with his exceptional blocking techniques. Pace finished fourth in the 1996 Heisman balloting, the highest finish for a lineman since 1980. Orlando Pace is not only the best offensive lineman I have ever coached but he is the best I have ever seen, said former Ohio State coach John Cooper, also a College Football Hall of Fame inductee. Every game was a highlight reel for him. We ran a lot of counter sweeps and a lot of screens and on many of those plays, Orlando had to be out in front of the ballcarrier. And we had some pretty good ballcarriers. I dont know how you could play the position any better than he did. He was just a fantastic football player.

slam from Ortiz. Both teams made changes to their lineups. Cardinals manager Mike Matheny benched shortstop Pete Kozma after making two errors in the opener and put Daniel Descalso in his place. Jarrod Saltalamacchia replaced David Ross as Bostons catcher. After the Cardinals played a most sloppy game in the opener, Wacha restored early order to the NL champions. The right-hander flashed a 95-mph fastball and a diving changeup while holding Boston hitless until Jacoby Ellsburys broken-bat bloop single with two outs in the third. No one in the Boston lineup had ever hit against Wacha and it showed, as the Red Sox struck out four times in the first three innings and took a lot of weak, awkward swings. Wacha had his own cheering section at chilly Fenway Park, too. His mom, dad and younger sister bundled up in the stands after arriving from Texarkana, Texas.

NASCAR

Barry Rogerson was one of several fans arrested after violence erupted following Newcastle Uniteds 3-0 loss to Sunderland on April 14. Clashes between their fans arent uncommon because of the fierce rivalry between both teams. The 45-year-old Rogerson, who was drunk, first clapped in the face of, then punched Bud, a horse working for West Yorkshire Police. Judge Paul Sloan sentenced him Thursday to 12 months in prison for violent disorder and banned him from attending any soccer matches in the U.K. for six years. Sloan ruled the officer riding Bud could have easily been thrown off the horse and been badly hurt. COLLEGE NEW YORK Hall of Fame coach Don Haskins, womens basketball pioneer Theresa Grentz and former coach George Raveling have been selected as recipients of the Joe Lapchick Character Award. AP Basketball Writer Jim OConnell also was selected Thursday for the Lapchick Foundation Leadership Award. The awards will be presented Nov. 21 at Madison Square Garden during the during the 2K Sports Classic. Haskins coached Texas-El Paso, then Texas Western, to the 1966 NCAA title, leading an all-black starting five past all-white Kentucky in the championship game. He died in 2008. OLYMPICS COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. Olympic champion swimmer Katie Ledecky has won the U.S. Olympic Committees SportsWoman of the Year award. The award was announced Thursday. It will be presented on Oct. 29 in New York. The 16-year-old from Bethesda, Md., won four gold medals and set two world marks at last summers world championships in Spain. She won the 800- and 1,500-meter freestyles with world records and also earned gold in the 400 free and 800 free relay. In the 1,500 free, Ledecky lowered the old mark by more than six seconds, winning in 15 minutes, 36.53 seconds. In the 800 free, she cut nearly a quarter of a second off the old record. Ledecky is the first female swimmer to win USOC SportsWoman of the Year honors since Natalie Coughlin in 2008. GOLF SHANGHAI Luke Guthrie took only 19 putts in his round of 7-under 65, giving Americans the top three spots on the leaderboard Thursday in the BMW Masters. Only three Americans are in Shanghai for the European Tour event. And one of them is John Daly, playing for the first time in nearly four months since surgery to repair a torn tendon in his right elbow. Equally surprising was Guthrie, a promising young American who is taking a break from the start of a new PGA Tour season because he wanted more experience in the growing world of golf. He showed plenty of game on a day of 30-mph windS so difficult that only 13 players broke par. Daly relied on knockdown shots to cope with the wind and kept bogeys off his card for a 68. One shot behind was the one American that could have been expected to contend at Lake Malaren Peter Uihlein, a European Tour member who already has one win this year and is 10th on the money list. The wind was relentless and contributed to threesomes taking some 5 1/2 hours to finish. Graeme McDowell, trying to chase down Henrik Stenson in the Race to Dubai, holed a 90-foot eagle putt on the 13th hole in his first tournament as a married man. McDowell was at 70, part of a group that included Paul Casey, Thongchai Jaidee and Wales Open winner Gregory Bourdy. Rory McIlroy, equipped with a new golf ball, drove the ball beautifully in the blustery conditions and shot 71. Stenson opened with a 72. KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia Ryan Moore had 10 birdies in a 9-under 63 to take a 2-stroke lead after the first round of the PGA Tours CIMB Classic. Keegan Bradley opened with a 65 on Kuala Lumpur Golf & Country Clubs West Course in the event also sanctioned by the Asian Tour. Sergio Garcia was another stroke back and Rory Sabbatini, Boo Weekley, Kiradech Aphibarnrat, Chris Kirk and Chris Stroud shot 67. Phil Mickelson had a 71.

ODonnell added in February that NASCAR had identified 32 concussions in its top three national series since 2004, including three in 2012. One suffered by Dale Earnhardt Jr. forced NASCAR concussions into the spotlight. Earnhardt was injured in a crash during an August 2012 tire test at Kansas, but didnt seek treatment for a mild concussion. His stubborn streak instead kept him behind the wheel and he was then part of a 25-car pileup in October at Talladega that triggered lingering headaches and other recognizable warning signs. Earnhardt went to a doctor and was ultimately benched for two races. Earnhardts plight led 4-time series champion Jeff Gordon to voluntarily take the ImPACT test, which has long been mandatory in the IndyCar Series. I just think whether its voluntary or not, its a good idea to have, Gordon said in February. I dont think that NASCAR necessarily has to make it mandatory, but if youre a race car driver and you feel youre going to be here for a while, you need to make it mandatory to yourself. Drivers this year were invited to two concussion education sessions featuring Dr. Vinay Deshmukh of Carolina Neurosurgery & Spine Associates, a member of NASCARs medical advisory group. Drivers were presented with an overview of what concussions are, their causes, treatment and the role that baseline tests play in the comprehensive evaluation of concussions. We are extremely confident that our concussion protocol is among the best in sports, ODonnell ended. We regularly review all of our practices involving safety and health to see if there is anything that we can do better, or should do differently moving forward. Implementing baseline testing is a primary example of our philosophy to protect our competitors the best that we can.

Obama calls for immigration Study: Gold star nutrition law by end of the year
WASHINGTON (AP) President Barack Obama made a plea for Republican cooperation on immigration Thursday, seeking common ground by years end in the aftermath of the divisive partial government shutdown. Yet prospects for success this year remain a long shot even as a handful of House GOP lawmakers push for more limited measures. Obamas renewed focus on immigration comes amid mounting criticism of the White House over computer problems that have plagued insurance enrollment under the 3-year old health care law. It also comes nearly four months since a bipartisan majority in the Senate passed a comprehensive immigration bill that would tighten border security and provide a path to citizenship for the 11 million immigrants living here illegally. Rather than create problems, lets prove to the American people that Washington can actually solve some problems, Obama said during an event devoted to immigration at the White House. The Senate measure has stalled in the House, where most Republicans reject a comprehensive approach and many question offering citizenship to people who broke U.S. immigration laws to be in this country. Still, White House officials say they believe that the partial government shutdown, rather than poisoning the political atmosphere, may have created an opportunity for collaboration with Republicans seeking to repair their image, which polls show took a hit during the prolonged fight over financing the government and extending the nations borrowing limit. Moreover, Obama made a point of underscoring support for an immigration bill from the members of the business community, traditional Republican allies who criticized GOP tactics that led to the partial shutdown and to brinkmanship over a potentially economy-jarring default on U.S. debt. The White House took notice when Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, indicated on Wednesday that he was hopeful that immigration legislation could be done before years end. But Republican strategists also say the most opportune time to act might not come until after next years 2014 primary elections, when lawmakers will be freer to vote without fear of having to run against a more conservative challenger. And while Obama called for the House to pass a large bill that could then be reconciled with the Senate version, House Republicans want to approach any changes in piecemeal fashion, a process that at best would push any significant progress into next year. Boehner spokesman Brendan Buck said Thursday that the House will not consider any massive, Obamacare-style legislation that no one understands. He said the House is committed to a deliberate, step-by-step approach. Obviously, there is no appetite for one big bill, Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart told a group of reporters Wednesday night. The Florida Republican, who had been a member of the unsuccessful bipartisan gang of eight, is working with other Republicans on a set of bills that would allow undocumented immigrants to get right with the law. Diaz-Balart avoided using the word legalization because it has become so politically fraught.

ratings appear to work

PORTLAND, Maine (AP) A nutritional rating system using gold stars affixed to price labels on grocery store shelves appears to have shifted buying habits, potentially providing another tool to educate consumers on how to eat healthier, according to a new study. The independent study examining a proprietary gold star system used in Maine-based Hannaford Supermarkets suggested it steered shoppers away from items with no stars toward healthier foods that merited gold stars. Our results suggest that point-of-sale nutrition information programs may be effective in providing easy-to-find nutrition information that is otherwise nonexistent, difficult to obtain or difficult to understand, the researchers wrote in the study, published last week in the journal Food Policy. Its the most rigorous scientific study focusing on Guiding Stars, which was instituted in 2006 in Hannaford stores and is now licensed for use in more than 1,800 stores in the U.S. and Canada. Researchers from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the Food and Drug Administration and the University of Florida focused on the cereal aisle, where it can be challenging to make healthy choices amid conflicting health claims and a multitude of sugary offerings targeting children. They compared data from 134 Hannaford grocery stores in the Northeast against an equal number of similar stores across the country. During the first 20 months of the program, sales of no-star cereals fell in both groups: 13 percent at Hannaford stores and 10 percent at the other stores. Likewise, the shift to healthier cereals

was slightly greater at Hannaford stores, compared with the others. The studys authors said they believe the additional shift in sales was due to the influence of Guiding Stars. Although the percentages are small, if you think in terms of the actual quantities or boxes of cereal sold in the national market, this could have some important implications on the nations health, said Jordan Lin, an author of the study and scientist at the FDA. Hannaford, consumers and others have touted the rating system as simple and easy to understand. My daughter, Emily, shell count the stars. The more stars, the better the food, Angela Buck said this week while shopping with her 3-year-old daughter in a Hannaford store in Colonie, N.Y. Besides Guiding Stars, the United Kingdom experimented with a traffic light system that uses the colors red, yellow and green to highlight calories, fat, saturated fats, sugar and salt on labels; the NuVal system ranks food on a scale of one to 100; and Grocery Manufacturers of America and Food Marketing Institute have created a Facts Up Front system. Unlike nutrition labels on the products themselves, these programs aim to put easier-to-understand nutritional information in consumers faces, on shelves or in aisles. Some nutrition advocates want the federal government to step in to avoid confusion caused by competing systems. FDA officials said in 2009 that they were working on federal standards for front-of-package calorie labels, but those labels are still in the works.

Website contractors point fingers at Obama admin. Oswald wedding ring sells for $108,000 at auction
WASHINGTON (AP) Contractors who built the web portal for the Obama administrations health insurance marketplace said Thursday the sites crippling problems trace back to insufficient testing and changes that government officials made just prior to going live. Whos to blame? The first congressional hearing into what went wrong dug into issues of website architecture and testing protocols but also re-stoked the partisan battle over President Barack Obamas signature expansion of health coverage for millions of uninsured Americans. Republicans whove been trying to kill the program the past three years sounded outraged that it is being poorly carried out, while Democrats jeered them as political hypocrites. What was clear after more than four hours of testimony was that the contractors had only partial answers, and only the Obama administration can eventually put the entire picture together to explain the botched rollout. Better times are coming, said executives from CGI Federal, which built the HealthCare.gov website serving 36 states, and from QSSI, which created a component that helps verify applicants incomes and other personal details. They said problems are being fixed daily and expressed optimism that anybody who wants coverage will able to get it by Jan. 1. The system is working, people are enrolling, said CGI vice president Cheryl Campbell. But people will be able to enroll at a faster pace. Asked for a timetable, she side-stepped, saying: I dont like to raise expectations. The online insurance markets were meant to be the portal to coverage for people who dont get health benefits on the job. Middle-class people are to pick from subsidized private insurance plans, while low-income people are steered to Medicaid in states that have agreed to expand that safety-net program. But the administration is now urging consumers to apply via call centers or on paper forms as the website problems are being addressed. Lack of testing was the main thread emerging from Thursdays hearing before the House Energy and Commerce Committee. But questions were also raised about a decision by the administration to not allow window shopping, as e-commerce sites generally do. Requiring consumers to open accounts and calculate subsidies before they could shop greatly increased the volume of traffic. That precipitated the crash of an accounts registration feature that became an early bottleneck. The site is now allowing limited window shopping. DALLAS (AP) Lee Harvey Oswalds gold wedding band, which he left in a cup on the dresser as he headed to work at the Texas School Book Depository the morning of President John F. Kennedys assassination, sold at auction on Thursday for $108,000. The ring that belonged to the man who killed Kennedy in Dallas on Nov. 22, 1963, was among nearly 300 items linked to the president auctioned by RR Auction in Boston. The New Hampshire-based auction house said that Oswalds ring, which has a tiny hammer and sickle engraved on the inside of the band, was sold to a buyer from Texas who wished to remain anonymous. Relatively recently, Oswalds widow, Marina Oswald Porter, recovered the ring, which apparently sat forgotten for decades in the files of a Fort Worth lawyer who once did work for her. Accompanying the ring is a five-page handwritten letter dated May 5, 2013, in which Porter writes: At this time of my life I dont wish to have Lees ring in my possession because symbolically I want to let go of my past that is connecting with Nov. 22, 1963.

Merkel: US spying has shattered allies trust

BRUSSELS (AP) European leaders united in anger as they attended a summit overshadowed by reports of widespread U.S. spying on its allies allegations German Chancellor Angela Merkel said had shattered trust in the Obama administration and undermined the crucial trans-Atlantic relationship. The latest revelations that the U.S. National Security Agency swept up more than 70 million phone records in France and may have tapped Merkels own cellphone brought denunciations from the French and German governments. Merkels unusually stern remarks Thursday as she arrived at the European Union gathering indicated she wasnt placated by a phone conversation she had Wednesday with President Barack Obama, or his personal assurances that the U.S. is not listening in on her calls now. We need trust among allies and partners, Merkel told reporters in Brussels. Such trust now has to be built anew. This is what we have to think about. The United States of America and Europe face common challenges. We are allies, the German leader said. But such an alliance can only be built on trust. Thats why I repeat again: spying among friends, that cannot be. The White House may soon face other irked heads of state and government. The British newspaper The Guardian said Thursday it obtained a confidential memo suggesting the NSA was able to monitor 35 world leaders communications in 2006. The memo said the NSA encouraged senior officials at the White House, Pentagon and other agencies to share their contacts so the spy agency could add foreign leaders phone numbers to its surveillance systems, the report said. The Guardian did not identify who reportedly was eavesdropped on, but said the memo termed the payoff very meager: Little reportable intelligence was obtained, it said. Other European leaders arriving for the 28-nation meeting echoed Merkels

2 shot at Natl Guard armory; gunman in custody

MILLINGTON, Tenn. (AP) A member of the National Guard opened fire at an armory outside a U.S. Navy base in Tennessee, wounding two soldiers before being subdued and disarmed by others soldiers, officials said Thursday. Millington Police Chief Rita Stanback said the shooter was apprehended Thursday by other National Guard members, and that he did not have the small handgun used in the shooting in his possession by the time officers arrived. Stanback said two National Guard members were shot, one in the foot and one in the leg. Im sure there could have been more injury if they hadnt taken him into custody, Stanback said. Maj. Gen. Max Haston, Tennessees adjutant general, said at a news conference that the victims were being treated at a local hospital and he expected them to be released. Authorities havent released the name of the shooter or the victims. But Haston said all three of the men were recruiters (Continued from page 1)

displeasure. Swedish Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt called it completely unacceptable for a country to eavesdrop on an allied leader. If reports that Merkels cellphone had been tapped are true, it is exceptionally serious, Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte told national broadcaster NOS. We want the truth, Italian Premier Enrico Letta told reporters. It is not in the least bit conceivable that activity of this type could be acceptable. Echoing Merkel, Austrias foreign minister, Michael Spindelegger, said, We need to re-establish with the U.S. a relationship of trust, which has certainly suffered from this. France, which also vocally objected to allies spying on each other, asked that the issue of reinforcing Europeans privacy in the digital age be added to the agenda of the two-day summit. Before official proceedings got underway, Merkel held a brief one-on-one with French President Francois Hollande, and discussed the spying controversy.

and that the shooter was a sergeant first class who had been in the Guard about six or seven years and that the victims one a major and the other a sergeant major were his superiors. Haston characterized Thursdays activity as disheartening. You never think something like this is going to happen on your watch or in good old Tennessee here, he said. Stanback said at an earlier news conference that the soldiers conditions were not immediately known, though the Navy said on its official Twitter account that neither had life-threatening injuries. The shooter was a recruiter who had been relieved of duty, said a law enforcement official briefed on the developments. The official was not authorized to discuss the investigation publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity. Asked about this at the news conference, Haston would only say that there were administrative policies and procedures that we were going through with him. He did not elaborate. He said 65 percent of runs are paged out multiple times and/or given to another squad. This new crew would respond as backup to the volunteers, Odenweller said. We are not eliminating our volunteer program, The levy would also provide volunteers with a $2 per hour increase for their hourly reimbursement for time on runs. The levy money would also be used to provide community CPR, First-aid and other appropriate courses to aid in the overall well-being of the residents. These funds will also provide additional continuing education opportunities to PCEMS personnel.

The vaccine will begin to provide protection within about two weeks. In Putnam County, the health department is now billing most major insurance companies, so users may not have to pay anything at the time of service. These insurance companies include Aetna, Anthem, Medical Mutual, Ohio Health Choice, NGS and United Health Care. It will be beneficial to know if insurance covers the flu vaccine prior to vaccination. There is a limited amount of free vaccine for those unable to pay and have chronic medical conditions. To schedule an appointment, call the health department at 419-523-5608.

In 1998, the Medic 300 program was started in the county to maintain emergency care for Putnam County residents. The programs currently provided with this service include a round-the-clock Medic 300, which is a paramedic intercept unit that provides advanced life support. The county also has a roundthe-clock Unit 301, which is an EMT intercept unit to ensure a full crew available for EMS runs. There is also a Unit 303 EMT, who is hired to relieve the volunteer squad from the burden of non-emergency runs. All of this is funded by billing for

runs. This levy will be the first time the PCEMS has gone to the voters for operating monies. If county voters approve the levy, the PCEMS program will be able to hire two additional full-time positions 24/7 which would include one paramedic and one EMT. This would decrease current response time and increase advanced life support coverage in the county. Sometimes there is a shortage of volunteers on call in a community when a medical emergency occurs, Odenweller said. Then we have to call out to another community for mutual assistance. This increases the response time.
