DELPHOSAs they
enter their last year of
high school, seniors often
spend the majority of their
time thinking about the
future and what it holds.
The Delphos Rotary Club
believes its important to
consider the past, as well,
which is why theyve held
the Senior Walking Tour
the last 15 years.
Starting at 8 a.m.
Wednesday, 160 seniors
from Jefferson and St.
Johns learned about the
influence of the Miami-
Erie Canal on the growth
of Delphos and visited a
number of historical sites
throughout the city while
dodging raindrops.
We really want these
kids to dig into the histo-
ry, Rotary Tour Chairman
JoAn Smith said. Its
important to let them
know what Delphos was,
is and will be. We think
its important to do this
tour every year so they
can know the history of
Delphos and see and feel it.
We take them to places that
the public doesnt usually
get to see.
The tour is orchestrated
solely by volunteers from
the schools, community
organizations and clubs.
It takes 60 to 70 peo-
ple to pull this off and
theyre all volunteers,
Smith said. The Rotary
Club is pleased to do it and
its so much easier with
everyone who helps out.
We get retirees and people
from service groups and
also people who take time
off work to be here.
Ordinarily the Rotary
picks a new theme for the
tour every year but Smith
said they decided not to
create one for this year.
Its just way too time
consuming to re-write
everything each year, she
said.
Some stops on the tour
were the Canal Commission
Museum, the old Walsh
and Remlinger buildings,
the former city building,
the old movie theater on
Main Street and Lock 23.
The group took a break at
noon to have lunch at the
VFW.
After lunch, they went
on to visit the Veterans
Memorial, a building on
Third Street that was used
as a speakeasy, the Postal
Museum and Delphos Area
Art Guild.
Although some of the
old buildings downtown are
falling into disrepair, Smith
says its important that the
younger generations know
they can be saved.
We want them to know
these buildings dont have
to be torn down, she said.
Some of them, like the one
that held the speakeasy, are
under restoration. If you go
through downtown, youll
see an architectural style
you wont have in a newer
building.
One thing Smith hopes
the students take from the
tour is the importance of
remembering the past and
preserving history.
You cant know where
youre at or where youre
going if you dont know what
came before, she said.

streets Wednesday during the annual Rotary Senior Tour.

A tour group heads to the third floor of the building
that houses CR Golf on Main Street, which was used as
a speakeasy during Prohibition. Volunteer Judy Fischer
told her group about the concept of the underground
bar. They were called speakeasies because you needed to
speak a special code to get in the door, she said. There is
actually a tiny door they would slide open that you would
speak the code through.
At the VFW, the groups were greeted by members of the VFW and American Legion
as well as two World War II veterans who recently rode the Honor Flight to Washington
DC. Thomas Buettner, left center, stands with his grandson Will Buettner; and Arthur

Preliminary State Report Cards show area districts did well
BY NANCY SPENCER
nspencer@delphosherald.com
Although not complete,
preliminary date from the Ohio
Department of Education on
the State Report Cards show
area districts have kept in line
with past performances.
Delphos City, Elida, Fort
Jennings, Lincolnview and
Ottoville schools all met the
Adequate Yearly Progress
and Value Added markers.
Delphos, Fort Jennings and
Ottovile met all 26 markers
and Elida came up short on
fifth-grade math and science
and Lincolnview on fifth- and
seventh-grade math.
Delphos City Schools
Interim Superintendent Frank
Sukup said he is pleased with
the preliminary report.
Our grade card is a tribute
to our teachers, students,
parents and community, he
said. We all worked hard
and did an excellent job. The
community can be proud of its
school system.
Sukup attributed this years
scores and several of the
past years on a curriculum
mapping initiative.
When we started mapping
throughout the grades, it was
difficult. Anything of this
magnitude is hard to get started
but once you have it, you can
build on it from year to year
and you dont have to reinvent
the wheel, Sukup said. Our
curriculum mapping has
started to pay dividends and I
believe it will continue to do
so.
Ottoville Superintendent
Scott Mangas was equally
pleased with his schools
performance.
We have dedicated parents,
students and teachers, Mangas
said. The parents make sure
the students are coming to
school prepared and ready to
work and our teachers work
hard on core standards and
curriculum mapping.
Elidas Don Diglia is
pleased with his districts
overall performance but said
there is room for improvement
across the board.
We are really focusing
on fifth-grade math and
science, he said. Weve
known we have work do in
those areas for several years.
Weve been mapping in K-5
and did see an improvement
from last years scores,
which had us at 57.2 percent
on math and now were at
66.7 percent.
Diglia said he was glad to
see the districts improvement
on AYP and Value Added.
Im pleased with meeting
those two markers, he
said. Student growth and
improvements is important.
Thats what its all about.
Lincolnview Interim
Superintendent Doug Kartst
said he is also pleased with his
districts grade card but sees
room for improvement.
We are just getting into
curriculum mapping and our
teachers are making use of
information and training from
the state, he said. We have
seen the lower numbers in
fifth- and seventh-grade math
and knew those scores were
going to be lower.
He added that the districts
meeting the AYP and Value
Added is always a goal.
We are really pleased with
meeting those two markers.
We wont become complacent,
though. We always want to
improve, he added.
The ODE released only
a portion of the report card
for districts around the state
Wednesday.
ODE is committed to
releasing data when available
so that students, parents,
educators and the public
can be informed about the
progress of our schools,
said Michael L. Sawyers,
acting superintendent
of Public Instruction.
Schools and districts have
had access to preliminary
student achievement data on
standardized assessments
throughout the summer. It is
time to share this preliminary
information with others, with
the understanding that the
data is not yet final.
Additional report card data
for districts and schools will be
released at a later date, pending
the progress of an investigation
by State Auditor David Yost
into alleged irregularities in the
reporting of student attendance
by districts.
Value-Added results show
whether students meet the
expected one year of growth
for students in Grades 3-8 in
reading and math.
AYP is a federally required
component that measures
achievement of each student
subgroup, including racial
and ethnic components.
Information submitted
Consumers have reported
to the BBB that they have
been receiving pop-ups on
their computer with a dire
warning from the FBI say-
ing they have been visiting
pornography websites and are
in trouble. The pop-up locks
up the computer and the per-
petrators demand a payment of
$200 to make it go away. The
consumer is warned that they
have had their computer activ-
ity monitored and recorded.
This is NOT from the
FBI but from something the
Internet Crime Complaint
Center (IC3) has identified as
malware used to deliver ran-
somware, named Reveton.
This is not only an attempt
to extort money from web users,
but to also mine their database.
The victim is told to pay a fine
to the US Department of Justice
using prepaid money card ser-
vices. Meanwhile, the perpetra-
tors continue to operate on the
compromised computer and
attempt to access online banking
services the victim may be using.
The BBB is advising any-
one who receives this kind of
fake FBI message to discon-
nect the power and modem
for the computer and call their
computer service technician
to assist with removing the
Reveton malware. This also
needs to be reported to IC3 by
going to their website at www.
ic3.gov and filing a complaint.
The bottom line is, the FBI
does not contact citizens in this
fashion. This is a vicious scare
tactic to get the unsuspecting
to pay the money and compro-
mise their computer database.

Neil Winget at 419-223-7010.

Dear EarthTalk: What is
the scientific consensus on all
the extreme weather weve
been havingfrom monster
tornadoes to massive floods
and wildfires? Is there a
clear connection to climate
change? And if so what are
we doing to be prepared?
Jason Devine, Summit,
PA

Extreme weather does not
prove the existence of global
warming, but climate change
is likely to exaggerate itby
messing with ocean currents,
providing extra heat to form-
ing tornadoes, bolstering heat
waves, lengthening droughts
and causing more precipitation
and flooding.
A changing climate leads
to changes in the frequency,
intensity, spatial extent, dura-
tion and timing of extreme
weather and climate events,
and can result in unprece-
dented extreme weather and
climate events, reports the
Intergovernmental Panel on
Climate Change (IPCC), an
independent group of leading
climate scientists convened by
the United Nations to provide
the world with a clear scientif-
ic view on the current state of
knowledge in climate change
and its potential environmental
and socio-economic impacts.
While most scientists
dont dispute the link between
global warming and extreme
weather, the once skeptical
public is now starting to come
aroundespecially following
2011, when floods, droughts,
heat waves and tornadoes
took a heavy toll on the U.S.
According to a poll con-
ducted by researchers at Yale
Universitys Project on Climate
Change Communication, four
out of five Americans report-
ed personally experiencing
one or more types of extreme
weather or a natural disaster
in 2011, while more than a
third were personally harmed
either a great deal or a moder-
ate amount by one or more
of these events. And a large
majority of Americans believe
that global warming made
several high profile extreme
weather events worse, includ-
ing record high summer tem-
peratures nationwide, droughts
in Texas and Oklahoma, cata-
strophic Mississippi River
flooding, Hurricane Irene and
an unusually warm winter.
The IPCC wants world
leaders to err on the side of
caution in preparing their
citizens for extreme weather
events that will likely become
more frequent; earlier this year
they released a report enti-
tled Managing the Risks of
Extreme Events and Disasters
to Advance Climate Change
Adaptation to help policy-
makers do just that. The report
is considered a must read in
coastal, arid and other espe-
cially vulnerable areas.
As for the U.S. govern-
ment, the National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration
(NOAA) tracks weather and
storms, while the Federal
Emergency Management
Agency (FEMA) deals with
the impacts of extreme weath-
er and other disasters. But crit-
ics would like to see Congress
and the White House do more
to increase Americans pre-
paredness. The U.S. [in 2011]
experienced a record fourteen
weather-related disasters each
in excess of a billion dollars
and many more disasters of
lesser magnitudes, reports
the non-profit Climate Science
Watch (CSW). Yet the U.S.
has no national climate change
preparedness strategy; and
Federal efforts to address the
rising risks have been under-
mined through budget cuts and
other means. CSW and oth-
ers are calling for the creation
of a new cabinet-level agency
called the National Climate
Service to oversee both cli-
mate change mitigation as well
as preparedness for increas-
ingly extreme weather events.

What do Ohios white
working-class voters want?
By JESSE WASHINGTON
The Associated Press
BRIDGEPORT To look
at Ohio is to glimpse America
in a nutshell a state full of
places where laborers, truck driv-
ers, cooks, store clerks and busi-
ness owners form the backbone
of small-town life. Places where
the deli cashes checks, cars and
trucks are vehicles and the
NFL takes a back seat to high-
school football.
It also is a place where presi-
dents are made. No candidate has
won without Ohios 20 electoral
votes since John F. Kennedy in
1960. Barack Obama won here
in 2008 by about 260,000 votes,
52 percent to 47 percent.
Thats why Ohios white,
working-class voters have taken
center stage in the election, with
Obama and Mitt Romney criss-
crossing the state this week as
they enter the campaigns home-
stretch.
These voters may well decide
who wins the White House. So
what do they want? About two
dozen interviews in eastern Ohio
revealed some answers:
They are looking for a presi-
dent who understands what its
like to punch a time clock all
month and still come up short on
the bills, for a leader who will
help the people in work boots as
much as those in wingtips. They
see money being doled out, from
welfare to bank bailouts, and
ask why nobody has lent them
a hand. They talk of getting rid
of everyone in Washington and
starting fresh.
Generations of sweaty work
and union membership make
many deeply skeptical of a
Republican multimillionaire
CEO like Romney, and polls
show he trails among white work-
ing-class Ohioans. But there also
is widespread frustration with the
Democratic president and pes-
simism about the future.
If the election was right
now, Id choose none of the
above, says coal miner J.R.
Cross, leaving a payday loan
store in Bridgeport with money
for his oldest sons college bill.
He voted for Obama in 2008
but thinks the president helped
Wall Street and the auto industry
instead of the working class. He
thinks Romney favors the rich
and that he bankrupted compa-
nies to make investors a profit.
His vote will be a last-minute
decision and he doubts that it
will make a difference.
Whoever gets elected, were
screwed, Cross says.
Nationally, Romney holds a
strong edge among white vot-
ers with jobs and no college
degree: Sixty-three percent
favored Romney, compared with
28 percent for Obama, according
to an Associated Press/GfK poll
conducted Sept 13-17.
But the president does much
better in union-heavy Ohio,
where Obamas auto bailout has
helped keep unemployment a
point below the national rate.
Fifty-one percent of white voters
with no college education pre-
ferred the president, compared
with 45 percent who backed
Romney in a recent University
of Cincinnati/Ohio Newspaper
Organization poll. The margin
of error was plus or minus 6
percentage points.
I think Obama can bring
things back. I really do, said
Valinda Liggett, an electrician,
as she shopped in a dollar store in
Dillonvale. Hes trying. Rome
wasnt built in a day. He can only
do so much.
Still, conversations with peo-
ple along the hills and in towns
around state Route 7, which hugs
the Ohio River on the Ohio-West
Virginia line, showed much frus-
tration with the economy.
Shuttered steel mills and the
Great Recession have drained
businesses and jobs from what
once were vibrant towns. Many
dislike the Obama administra-
tions stance on the coal industry,
which puts food on thousands of
tables in this region. Along the
two-lane roads that curl through
the hills west of Route 7, yard
signs reading Stop the War on
Coal Fire Obama are a com-
mon sight.
Millie Brown, who
tends tables and the grill at a
Steubenville truck stop, has some
choice words for both candidates.
When you make $20,000 a year,
she says, every day is a struggle.
Its hard to make enough
to buy gas to drive to work, let
alone pay bills, she says, pull-
ing on a generic menthol ciga-
rette. A gallon of milk is $4.29.
Thats ridiculous. I never thought
Id see the day when eggs are $2
a dozen.
God loved the birds and invented trees. Man loved the birds and invented
cages.

IT WAS NEWS THEN
POLITICS
By THOMAS
BEAUMONT
DES MOINES, Iowa
Republican Mitt Romney
is struggling in swing-state
Iowa at a perilous point: just
as voters here start casting
early ballots in the presiden-
tial race.
President Barack Obama
has a clear lead in Iowa opin-
ion polls, helped by the fact
that the states economy is far
more robust than other battle-
ground states. The presidents
polling edge is so wide it has
prompted grumbling among
Iowa Republicans who fault
Romney for failing to take
advantage of Obamas stand-
ing, which had been weak-
ened in the four years since
Iowa launched his bid for the
White House in 2008.
There still is time to win,
but we are in the fourth quar-
ter, said Nick Ryan, a vet-
eran Iowa Republican strate-
gist who was a top adviser
to Pennsylvania Sen. Rick
Santorums caucus cam-
paign.
Iowa is hardly the larg-
est prize in the race for 270
Electoral College votes. But
the six it offers could be piv-
otal if the race is close.
Iowans today can begin
voting in person at early vot-
ing sites and returning absen-
tee ballots theyve requested
by mail or in person. Iowa
Republicans are mindful that
the perception of Romney in
deep trouble could sway vot-
ers already casting ballots
or dissuade volunteers from
encouraging backers to turn
out at the polls.
The state knows Romney
and Obama well; both com-
peted here in 2008. And
Romney came close to win-
ning its caucuses in January.
A lot of people I know are
excited about Romney, said
Susan Geddes, a Republican
from Indianola, just south of
Des Moines. And a lot of
people I talk to are like me,
and just want it over with.
Since locking up the GOP
nomination in the spring,
Romney has visited the state
six times and has poured $8
million into television adver-
tising here. GOP-leaning
groups have tried to help,
spending $20 million in TV
ads criticizing Obama. But
Romney hasnt been to the
state since Sept. 7, when he
made a trip to the Republican-
heavy northwest. And he
has paid scant attention to
the blue-collar voters along
Iowas eastern edge, where
unemployment is running
higher than in the state over-
all and where he needs a big
turnout to overtake Obama.
The Republicans team
insists that he hasnt given up
on the state and that he and
his running mate, Paul Ryan,
plan to spend more time in
Iowa in the final weeks of the
campaign.
Youre going to see the
governor and Paul Ryan talk-
ing a lot directly to voters,
having more opportunities to
do that, campaign spokes-
woman Sarah Pompei said.
Aides argue that Romney
has built a more sophisticated
voter-contact system than
Republican John McCain did
in 2008, when Obama carried
Iowa by 9 percentage points.
And although Romney has
only 14 staffed state cam-
paign offices, compared with
Obamas 67, Republicans say
they have made more than 1
million contacts with voters
by telephone and in person.
If the polls are right, the
GOP ticket has a lot of ground
to make up.
A Wall Street Journal/
NBC News/Marist Poll taken
last week found Romney trail-
ing Obama by 8 percentage
points, a finding that mirrored
recent internal polls from
Democrats and Republicans
alike. The poll also found
that only 40 percent had posi-
tive feelings about Romney,
down from 43 percent in May.
Conversely, Obama saw his
favorability rating improve to
53 percent from 48 percent
over that same period.
Those figures illustrate
why Obamas campaign is
increasingly confident about
its Iowa prospects even as
aides say they expect the
race to tighten somewhat as
undecided voters focus on the
election.
Democrats say Obama has
benefited from his Iowa strat-
egy of blanketing the state
with eight presidential visits
ahead of early voting. Obama
hoped that his frequent visits,
as well as constant appear-
ances by Vice President Joe
Biden and first lady Michelle
Obama, would help him
build a lead over Romney
ahead of Election Day, when
Republicans traditionally
have had an edge.
Obama ahead of Romney
in Iowa polls as vote starts
By BEN FELLER
and STEVE PEOPLES
WESTERVILLE
Slipping in states that could
sink his presidential bid,
Republican Mitt Romney
declared Wednesday that
I care about the people of
America and can do more
than President Barack Obama
to improve their lives. In an
all-day Ohio duel, Obama
scoffed that a challenger who
calls half the nation victims
was unlikely to be of much
help.
Romneys approach
reflected what he is up
against: a widening Obama
lead in polls in key states such
as Ohio, the backlash from
a leaked video in which he
disparages Obama support-
ers as government-dependent
people who see themselves
as victims, and a campaign
imperative to make his policy
plans more plain.
With under six weeks to
go, and just one week before
the first big debate, Obamas
campaign reveled in the latest
public polling but tried to
crush any sense of overcon-
fidence. If we need to pass
out horse blinders to all of
our staff, we will do that,
said campaign spokeswoman
Jen Psaki.
The days setting was Ohio,
where Obamas momentum
has seemed to be growing.
Its also a state no Republican
has won the White House
without carrying.
Romney, eager to project
confidence and brush aside
suggestions that he was falter-
ing, went after working-class
voters outside Columbus and
Cleveland before rolling to
Toledo. Obama rallied col-
lege crowds at Bowling
Green State University
and Kent State University,
reminding Ohioans their state
allows them to start cast bal-
lots next week. Early voting
has already begun in more
than two dozen other states.
For Romney, in his appear-
ances and in a new TV ad in
which he appeals straight to
the camera, it was time for
plain talk to contrast himself
with Obama, and to mince
no words about his expecta-
tions.
There are so many people
in our country who are hurt-
ing right now. I want to help
them. I know what it takes,
Romney told the crowd in
Westerville. I care about
the people of America, and
the difference between me
and Barack Obama is I know
what to do.
Asked in an interview
about his ability to empathize
with ordinary Americans,
Romney cited the health care
law he championed while
governor of Massachusetts.
Its a topic Romney usually
doesnt raise because Obama
cites the initiative as the basis
for his own health care over-
haul. Conservatives despise
what they call Obamacare
Romney has vowed to
repeal and replace it if elected
and tend to oppose the
idea of universal health cov-
erage.
Dont forget I got
everybody in my state
insured, Romney told NBC
News while in Toledo. One
hundred percent of the kids
in our state had health insur-
ance. I dont think theres
anything that shows more
empathy and care about the
people of this country than
that kind of record.
That message so late in the
campaign a presidential
nominee declaring his con-
cern for all the people of the
country was part of his
widening effort to rebound
from his caught-on-video
comments at a fundraiser.
In those comments, made
last May but only recently
revealed, Romney said 47
percent of the people pay no
federal income tax, will vote
for Obama no matter what,
see themselves as victims,
think the government must
care for them and do not
take personal responsibility
and care for their lives.
Slipping in polls, Romney assures voters I care
By KEN THOMAS
and STEVE PEOPLES
WASHINGTON
Trying to command attention
and build his lead in the polls,
President Barack Obama
unveiled a new two-minute
TV commercial today calling
for an economic patriotism
he hopes will sweep him to
a second term, urging vot-
ers to compare his plan with
Republican Mitt Romneys
and decide for yourself.
Romney, campaigning
in Ohio while polls showed
him slipping in key states,
declared that I care about
the people of America and
can do more than Obama to
improve their lives.
Romneys approach
reflected what he is up
against: a widening Obama
lead in polls in key states such
as Ohio, the backlash from
a leaked video in which he
disparages Obama support-
ers as government-dependent
people who see themselves
as victims, and a campaign
imperative to make his policy
plans more plain.
With under six weeks to
go, and just one week before
the first big debate, Obamas
campaign reveled in the latest
public polling but tried to
crush any sense of overcon-
fidence. If we need to pass
out horse blinders to all of
our staff, we will do that,
campaign spokeswoman Jen
Psaki said.
Obama readied a new ad
in seven battleground states,
a lengthy spot designed to
cut through the clutter and
outline a second-term agenda
to create manufacturing jobs,
promote U.S.-made ener-
gy resources, train workers
and reduce the deficit. He
uses the ad to remind voters
that the nation was losing
nearly 800,000 jobs a month
when he took office and was
mired in Iraq but now the
nation, he says, is moving
forward again. He charges
that Romneys plan would
double-down on the same
trickle-down policies that
led to the economic crisis.
Its time for a new eco-
nomic patriotism rooted in
the belief that growing our
economy begins with a
strong, thriving, middle class.
Read my plan. Compare it to
Gov. Romneys and decide
for yourself, Obama says in
the ad, which directs view-
ers to a campaign website.
The ad was appearing in New
Hampshire, Virginia, Florida,
Ohio, Iowa, Nevada and
Colorado. Campaign aides
said voters in those states
would see it frequently.
Much of Wednesdays
activities were centered
on Ohio, where Obamas
momentum has seemed to
be growing. Its also a state
no Republican has won the
White House without carry-
ing.
Romney, eager to project
confidence and brush aside
suggestions that he was falter-
ing, went after working-class

Obama makes new appeal in 2-minute ad
NEW YORK (AP) New
Republican-leaning inde-
pendent groups entered the
presidential advertising fray
Wednesday as polling sug-
gests Mitt Romneys campaign
may be losing ground against
President Barack Obama in
key swing states.
The commercials, aimed at
voters who supported Obama
in 2008 but are undecided now,
join those from the campaigns
and outside groups swamping
a narrow and possibly shrink-
ing map of competitive states
in the fast-moving presiden-
tial contest.
Americans for Job Security
launched an ad in six swing
states as part of an $8.7 mil-
lion ad buy disclosed last
week. The group, which
does not have to disclose its
donors, has actively support-
ed Republican congressional
candidates but has stayed
out of the presidential cam-
paign until now. The Ending
Spending Action Fund, a new
conservative group bankrolled
by billionaire Joe Ricketts,
was set to debut a $10 mil-
lion, four-state ad campaign
beginning Thursday.
The two groups have joined
a crowded field of players
in a presidential advertising
landscape that has largely nar-
rowed to nine states: Colorado,
Florida, Iowa, Nevada, New
Hampshire, North Carolina,
Ohio, Virginia and Wisconsin.
All are states Obama car-
ried against Republican John
McCain in 2008 but have been
tightly contested this time.
A pro-Romney super PAC,
Restore Our Future, is adver-
tising in Michigan, while
another Republican-leaning
group, the American Future
Fund, announced Wednesday
it would run ads supporting
Romney in Minnesota. But
polling shows those states
tilting heavily toward Obama
and neither is considered a
top-tier battleground this time
because the candidates them-
selves arent on the air in
those states.
Its a vast change from
2008, when the Obama and
McCain campaigns advertised
in 21 states that were consid-
ered competitive. Several of
those have seen virtually no
advertising this year, includ-
ing Arizona, Georgia, Indiana,
Maine, Missouri, Montana,
New Mexico, Pennsylvania
and West Virginia. Polls show
Georgia, Indiana, Missouri,
Montana and West Virginia
all safe for Romney this time
Obama carried Indiana in
2008 but is not expected to
again because hes not com-
peting in earnest there
while Maine, New Mexico
and Pennsylvania are expect-
ed to favor the president as
they did in 2008.
The decision by Romneys
campaign and allied groups
to abandon advertising in
Pennsylvania particularly
surprised political observers,
since the state was a top bat-
tleground 2008 and is home
to many of the white, work-
ing-class voters who polls
show have been skeptical of
Obama since his first run for
the presidency. Pro-Romney
independent groups includ-
ing Crossroads GPS and
Restore Our Future advertised
there but have since pulled
out, as did the pro-Obama
group Priorities USA Action.
Neither the Obama nor the
Romney campaigns actively
advertised in the state.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
DEAR EDITOR:
I am writing this letter in response to a recent letter about
our countys debt. It suggested that Putnam County would not
be in debt if elected officials had the taxpayers interest in
mind. I want to inform the writer and all citizens in Putnam
County that our county is no longer in debt. The jail bonds
final payment was due in 2021. It has been refinanced to be
paid off in 2016 with all the necessary payments transferred
out of the general fund and into a special fund that can only be
used for jail payments. Since the money is set aside, I consider
the jail paid in full. The landfill closure debt bonds scheduled
to be paid off in 2031 was also paid in full.
Paying these debts early required a sacrifice by all of us
in the county. All the elected officials took a 15 percent bud-
get cut which was very difficult, but they buckled down and
worked harder with less money. I personally thank all of them
for our county being out of debt. The cooperation was com-
mendable.
The commissioners also had to raise the sales tax 25 cents
on every $100 spent on taxable items for the purpose or pay-
ing the long term county debt. This was a good investment
since it saved around $1,500,000 in future interest payments
for our county. In 2013, it may be possible to lower the sales
tax. It actually is too early to responsibly promise a reduction
in taxes since the state is reducing local government funds,
sending more mandates to the counties and future health care
cost is an unknown at this time. That possibility will be evalu-
ated in 2013.
Another little fact I havent noticed in any of the letters to
the editor is that Putnam Countys 2012 budget is less than in
the year 2005. I credit all elected Putnam County officials for
these achievements.
Vincent T. Schroeder

Plans for corn husking in Allen and Van Wert counties
are being completed. The Van Wert County contest will be
held Oct. 19, but the site has not been selected. R. S. Oetzel,
Jack Cowgill and Ray Pangle are members of the committee
in charge of the field arrangements. The Allen County contest
will be held Oct. 14 on the W. T. Agerter farm on State Route
198 north of its intersection with State Route 117.
A number of Delphos people will be in attendance at the
30th annual meeting of the Only Social Order of Rushmore.
Once each year this association meets at Rushmore. A pro-
gram will be presented after the banquet. Special entertain-
ment will be provided by Billy James and his gang from
Columbus. James is a noted theatrical producer.
An intensive drive is being planned by S. F. Bailey, Van
Wert County Dog Warden, to ride the county of dogs that are
permitted to run at large during the night season. The sheep
loss in Van Wert has reached a new high during the past few
weeks and repeated warnings have failed to stop the practice
of permitting dogs to run at large.

These Tuna Cakes are so easy
to make and the flavor will sur-
prise you. There is plenty of
cake to share with the Buttermilk
Blueberry Bundt Cake.
Tuna Cakes
2 cans (5 ounces each)
light tuna in water, drained,
flaked
1 package (6 ounces)
Stove Top Stuffing Mix
for Chicken (with cran-
berry is a good choice)
1 cup shredded mild
cheddar cheese
3/4 cup water
1 carrot, shredded
1/3 cup miracle whip
2 tablespoons sweet
pickle relish
Mix all ingredients.
Scoop 1/4 cup to 1/3 cup
portions and flatten into
patties. Refrigerate at least
1 hour. Heat large non-
stick skillet sprayed with
cooking spray on medium
heat. Add tuna patties, in
batches, to skillet. Flatten
patties with back of spatu-
la. Cook 6 minutes or until
golden brown on both
sides, carefully turning
patties after 3 minutes.

Buttermilk Blueberry
Bundt Cake
1 cup unsalted butter,
at room temperature, plus
additional for greasing the
pan
2 2/3 cups flour
1 tablespoon baking
powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking
soda
1 3/4 cups sugar
4 large eggs, at room
temperature
2 teaspoons pure vanil-
la extract
1/2 cup buttermilk
2 pints blueberries,
washed and dried
Preheat the oven to 350
degrees. Grease or spray
with cooking spray a 5
quart bundt pan. Sift the
flour, baking powder, salt,
and baking soda into a
medium bowl. In a bowl,
beat the butter and sugar
until fluffy and soft. Add
the eggs, one at a time,
beating well after each
addition. Add the vanilla
and beat to combine. With
the mixer set on low speed,
add the flour mixture and
buttermilk alternately to
the butter mixture. Scrape
down the side between
additions. Remove the
bowl from the mixer and
gently fold in the berries.
Scrape the batter into the
prepared bundt pan. Bake
for 55 minutes, or until a
toothpick inserted near the
center of the cake comes
out clean. Cool the cake in
the pan for at least 20 min-
utes and then turn out onto
a rack to cool completely.
Serves 10 to 12.

NEW YORK The NFLs
regular officiating crews are
back. Their return couldnt
have come soon enough for
many players, coaches and
fans.
After two days of marathon
negotiations and mount-
ing frustration throughout the
league the NFL and the
officials union announced at
midnight today that a tenta-
tive 8-year agreement had been
reached to end a lockout that
began in June.
The deal came on the heels
of Seattles chaotic last-sec-
ond win over Green Bay on
Monday night in which the
replacement officials struggled.
Commissioner Roger Goodell,
who was at the bargaining
table Tuesday and Wednesday,
said the regular officials would
work the Browns-Ravens game
at Baltimore tonight.
We are glad to be get-
ting back on the field for this
weeks games, NFL Referees
Association president Scott
Green said.
And plenty of players
echoed that sentiment.
Welcome back REFS,
Buffalo Bills running back C.J.
Spiller tweeted shortly after
the news broke.
The tentative deal must
be ratified by 51 percent of
the unions 121 members.
They plan to vote Friday and
Saturday in Dallas.
For the Packers, Redskins,
Lions and other teams who
voiced their displeasure with
calls that might have swayed
games, the agreement doesnt
change their records. But after
having replacements for the
first three weeks, triggering a
wave of outrage that threat-
ened to disrupt the
rest of the season,
Titans quarterback
Matt Hasselbeck
probably spoke for
his peers by sim-
ply echoing Spiller:
Welcome back.
The agreement
hinged on work-
ing out pension and
retirement benefits
for the officials,
who are part-time employees
of the league. The tentative
pact calls for their salaries to
increase from an average of
$149,000 a year in 2011 to
$173,000 in 2013, rising to
$205,000 by 2019.
Under the proposed deal,
the current defined benefit pen-
sion plan will remain in place
for current officials through
the 2016 season or until the
official earns 20 years service.
The defined benefit plan will
then be frozen.
Retirement benefits will
be provided for new hires
and for all officials beginning
in 2017 through a defined
contribution arrangement. The
annual league contribution
made on behalf of each game
official will begin with an
average of more than $18,000
per official and increase to
more than $23,000 per official
in 2019.
Beginning with the 2013
season, the NFL will have the
option to hire a number of
officials on a full-time basis
to work year round, including
on the field. The NFL also
will be able to retain addi-
tional officials for training and
development, and can assign
those officials to work games.
The number of additional offi-
cials will be determined by the
league.
As you know, this has to
be ratified and
we know very
little about it, but
were excited
to be back. And
ready, referee Ed
Hochuli told The
Associated Press
in a telephone
interview. And
I think thats the
most important
message that
were ready.
The longest contract with
on-field officials in NFL histo-
ry was reached with the assis-
tance of two federal media-
tors.
Replacements have been
used both to play and officiate
NFL games before. In 1987,
the players went on strike and
three games were played with
replacement players. In 2001,
the first week of the regu-
lar season was officiated by
replacements before a deal was
worked out.
One big difference: The
replacements 11 years ago gen-
erally came from the highest
levels of college football. These
officials were from lower col-
lege divisions or other leagues
such as Arena Football.
After Seattles 14-12 vic-
tory against the Packers, their
ability to call fast-moving NFL
games drew mounting criti-
cism, with ESPN analyst Jon
Gruden calling their work
tragic and comical.
The Seahawks beat Green
Bay on a desperation pass into
the end zone on the final play.
Packers safety M.D. Jennings
had both hands on the ball in
the end zone, and when he
fell to the ground in a scrum,
both Jennings and Seahawks
receiver Golden Tate had their
arms on the ball.
The closest official to the
play, at the back of the end
zone, signaled for the clock
to stop, while another official
at the sideline ran in and then
signaled touchdown.
The NFL said in a statement
Tuesday that the touchdown
pass should not have been over-
turned but acknowledged
Tate should have been called
for offensive pass interference
before the catch. The league
also said there was no indis-
putable evidence to reverse the
call made on the field.
That drew even loud-
er howls of disbelief. Some
coaches, including Miamis
Joe Philbin and Cincinnatis
Marvin Lewis, tried to restore
some calm by instructing play-
ers not to speak publicly on
the issue.
Fines against two coaches
for incidents involving the
replacements were handed out
Wednesday.
Patriots coach Bill Belichick
was docked $50,000 for try-
ing to grab an officials arm
Sunday to ask for an explana-
tion of a call after his team lost
at Baltimore. And Washington
offensive coordinator Kyle
Shanahan was tagged for
$25,000 for what the league
called abuse of officials in
the Redskins loss to Cincinnati
on Sunday. Two other coaches,
Denvers John Fox and assis-
tant Jack Del Rio, were fined
Monday for incidents involv-
ing the replacements the previ-
ous week.
I accept the discipline and
I apologize for the incident,
Belichick added.
Players were in no mood for
apologies from anyone.
Ill probably get in trouble
for this, but you have to have
competent people, Carolina
receiver Steve Smith said.
And if youre incompetent,
get them out of there.
And now they are out.
Regular refs to work tonights
game after marathon negotiations
You just KNEW what this
column partly was going
to be about, didnt you?
The debacle of Monday
night that finally got the
National Football League and
its referees union into seri-
ous and eventually successful
negotiations on a new con-
tract.
I somewhat understand
what the 32 owners through
Commissioner Roger Goodell
(which may be the REAL
problem, in my humble and
correct opinion!) was after;
the chance to improve the offi-
ciating down the road.
Us football fans know that
this has to happen and The
League needs to be able to
fire incompetent officials
or those that simply cannot
do the job any more due to
physical limitations and
bring in newer officials (as
long as they have been proven
somewhere along the line) to
bolster the pool.
However, with the flags
a-flyin in the first three weeks
of the season and the terrible
inconsistency, the pressure
had to be mounting.
Game times are up.
Monday nights fracas
HAD to be the final straw, no
matter what anyone is saying.
I dont think I need to rehash
what happened probably
everybody with a cable TV
set or Internet access around
the globe has seen the final
play of the Seattle/Green Bay
battle in the Pacific Northwest
but needless to say, in no
known universe was that a
touchdown.
They missed the obvious
OBVIOUS offensive
pass interference on Seattle; I
loved Golden Tates pathetic
and laughable response to a
reporters question about the
shove with I dont know what
you are talking about!
Makes you wonder what
universe he was living in. The
best response would have been
no comment but dont lie
about it; it doesnt become
you!
Im not trying pick on Mr.
Tate other players have
uttered some inane things in
the past but it just seemed
so ... wrong!
However, it was other bad
calls: a roughing-the-passer
call to begin the last drive
that was not a penalty in any
known cosmos; a defensive
pass interference that clearly
was not except in the anti-
matter universe; etc.
Then the discrepancy
between the officials on
whether it was a TD or a
touchback the head man
not even bothering to go check
it out but heading straight for
the replay booth!
Throw in the expected criti-
cism from football pundits and
junkies that have been going
on non-stop ever since.
For the most part, it
has gone to the people that
deserved it: not the officials
who were simply out of their
league and over their heads
but to Goodell and the own-
ers for not thinking that this
would happen.
Some of it was over the
top I know of one Packers
fan that claimed he would not
watch another Packer or
NFL game, for that matter
again!
Seriously. I do think the
guy needs to take a chill pill!
Toss in the definite empha-
sis on illegal and even border-
line hits that were not called
the first three weeks.
Plus the supposed billion
dollars that changed hands or
had to be reimbursed by the
gambling community because
of the debacle which is
another issue.
I know I am not the first to
write this but only because
my column goes in Thursday!
but all these poor decisions
and the backlash were seri-
ously threatening the integrity
of the game.
The powers-that-be know
that the NFL cant allow its
product to be watered down or
come into question on a daily
basis.
It was starting to.
You also cannot have the
culture of utter disrespect that
was starting to germinate.
We all know that the regu-
lar guys have made mistakes
in the past and will do so in the
future; its human nature.
However, they commu-
nicated with the players and
coaches and there was a level
of respect; the players knew
these guys were doing their
best.
That all stopped and that is
what I think most flustered the
players and coaches.
Personally, I think the
replacement referees were a
bit intimidated. I would be, no
matter what I might say.
I dont ever remember Bill
Totem Pole Belichick get-
ting that irate during a game.
Through it all, Mike
McCarthy was saying the right
some may say politically
correct or avoid the fine
things. The Packers made too
many mistakes offensively
and it should not have come
down to that last play.
All true.
I guess this column was
ALL about this!
Welcome back to the
NFL, real refs

CINCINNATI Shaun
Marcum was wheeling his
bag of belongings past the
bank of televisions in the visi-
tors clubhouse when a final
score flashed on the screen.
The Milwaukee Brewers
had just gained a game, keep-
ing their wild-card chances
flickering.
Marcum got his first
win since returning from
an elbow problem,
and Ryan Braun
hit his NL-leading
41st home run on
Wednesday night for
an 8-1 victory over
the Cincinnati Reds
that allowed the Brewers
another day to dream.
They moved to 3 1/2
games behind St. Louis for
the final NL wild-card spot
when the Cardinals lost to
Houston 2-0, a game that
ended as the Brewers headed
for the bus. The Dodgers also
are 3 1/2 back.
At this point, its a matter
of playing well enough to
extend the NLs final race.
The Brewers have done their
part, winning 26 out of 34
while keeping the Cardinals
in range.
Marcum (6-4) went six
innings for his first victory
since returning from an elbow
problem, allowing only four
hits, including Joey Vottos
RBI double.
Marcum had his best con-
trol since hes been back.
Cincinnati managed only
six hits and stranded nine
runners, the Reds most dis-
appointing game offensively
since they clinched the NL
Central on Saturday night.
Norichika Aoki homered
to start a 3-run third inning
off Bronson Arroyo (12-
9) and added an RBI dou-
ble. Braun, the NLs Most
Valuable Player last season
as the Brewers won the NL
Central, hit a 2-run shot in the
seventh off Logan
Ondrusek.
Jonathan Lucroy
also homered and
had three hits.
The Reds played
all of their healthy
regulars even though they
have clinched. Bench coach
Chris Speier made out the
lineup and checked with
manager Dusty Baker, who
changed it slightly.
Baker was hospital-
ized four days in Chicago
last week for treatment of
an irregular heartbeat and a
mini-stroke. The 63-year-old
manager visited the ballpark
in the afternoon. Baker hopes
to return to managing for the
final series in St. Louis next
week.
Cincinnati fell a game
behind Washington for best
record in the majors and the
top seed in the NL playoffs.
The Reds conclude the series
against Milwaukee today,
then end the regular season
Braun homers, Brewers
beat Reds 8-1

CHICAGO For two
months, the Chicago White
Sox had been ahead or tied
for the lead in the AL Central.
Now, with just a week left,
theyre looking up at the
Detroit Tigers.
Their pitching was wild
Wednesday night, issuing
12 walks in a 6-4 loss to
the Cleveland Indians that
knocked them into second
place for the first time since
July 23. Losers of seven of
their last eight, the White
Sox now have seven games
left to regroup or a success-
ful season will end in the
ultimate disappointment with
no playoffs.
Detroit, which beat Kansas
City 5-4 Wednesday night,
has a 1-game lead.
The White Sox had a 3-1
lead after the first inning but
they couldnt hold off the
Indians because their pitchers
couldnt throw strikes. And
for the second straight game,
their starter didnt get out of
the fourth inning.
Shin-Soo Choo had a go-
ahead RBI grounder in the
seventh off Matt Thornton
(4-9) and Vinny Rottino hit
his first homer for Cleveland
in the eighth off Brett Myers.
The Indians who are 21-50
since the All-Star break
won two out of three at U.S.
Cellular Field.
Lou Marson drew his third
walk of the game with one
out in the seventh and after a
double by Ezequiel Carrera,
Choo hit an RBI grounder
to first.
Alexei Ramirezs 2-out
RBI double in the fifth put
Chicago ahead 4-3.
But Choo doubled to open
the sixth and then the Indians
drew three straight walks
the final one on a 12-pitch
at-bat by Carlos Santana
against reliever Nate Jones
to force in the tying run.
With the bases still loaded,
Thornton got Travis Hafner
to hit into a 1-2-3 double
play.
Tony Sipp (1-2) pitched
one-third of an inning for
the win and Chris Perez fin-
ished in the ninth for his 38th
save in 42 chances. He issued
the Indians sixth walk of
the game and after a throw-
ing error by shortstop Brent
Lillibridge, he retired Paul
Konerko on a fly to shallow
left to end it.
Chicago now plays four
at home against another
team still in the running for
the postseason, the Tampa
Bay Rays, and then finish-
es the season with three at
Cleveland.
The Tigers finish a series
with Kansas City at home
today and then close the
season with six road games
against the Twins and the
Royals.
The White Sox scored
three in the bottom of the first
off Cleveland starter Justin
Masterson, loading the bases
on a walk and back-to-back
singles by Kevin Youkilis
and Adam Dunn. Konerko
drew a walk to force in a run,
Alex Rios hit a sacrifice fly
and A.J. Pierzynski had an
RBI double for a 3-1 lead.
Masterson lasted 4 2/3
innings, giving up seven hits,
four runs and four walks.
Chicago starter Hector
Santiago was in trouble
throughout, struggling with
his control from the outset
and making it through only 3
1-3 innings.
He gave up two walks and
an RBI single to Russ Canzler
in the first. And Cleveland
White Sox lose, fall out of AL Central lead

Agr i-business
Drought-stricken farmers,
ranchers have more time
to replace livestock
Information submitted
WASHINGTON
Farmers and ranchers who
previously were forced to sell
livestock due to drought, like
the drought currently affect-
ing much of the nation, have
an extended period of time
in which to replace the live-
stock and defer tax on any
gains from the forced sales,
the Internal Revenue Service
announced today.
Farmers and ranchers
who, due to drought, sell
more livestock than they
normally would may defer
tax on the extra gains from
those sales. To qualify, the
livestock generally must be
replaced within a four-year
period. The IRS is authorized
to extend this period if the
drought continues.
The one-year extension
of the replacement period
announced today generally
applies to capital gains real-
ized by eligible farmers and
ranchers on sales of livestock
held for draft, dairy or breed-
ing purposes due to drought.
Sales of other livestock, such
as those raised for slaughter
or held for sporting purposes,
and poultry are not eligible.
The IRS is providing this
relief to any farm located in a
county, parish, city or district,
listed as suffering exception-
al, extreme or severe drought
conditions by the National
Drought Mitigation Center
(NDMC), during any weekly
period between Sept. 1, 2011,
and Aug. 31, 2012. All or
part of 43 states are listed.
Any county contiguous to a
county listed by the NDMC
also qualifies for this relief.
As a result, farmers and
ranchers in these areas whose
drought sale replacement peri-
od was scheduled to expire at
the end of this tax year, Dec.
31, 2012, in most cases, will
now have until the end of their
next tax year. Because the
normal drought sale replace-
ment period is four years,
this extension immediately
impacts drought sales that
occurred during 2008. But
because of previous drought-
related extensions affecting
some of these localities, the
replacement periods for some
drought sales before 2008
are also affected. Additional
extensions will be granted
if severe drought conditions
persist.
Details on this relief,
including a list of NDMC-
designated counties, are
available in Notice 2012-62,
posted today on IRS.gov.
Details on reporting drought
sales and other farm-related
tax issues can be found in
Publication 225, Farmers
Tax Guide, also available on
the IRS web site.
NOTE: This news applies
to farmers/ag businesses
in several counties in Ohio
as follows: Allen, Auglaize,
Brown, Butler, Clermont,
Clinton, Darke, Defiance,
Fayette, Franklin, Fulton,
Greene, Hamilton, Hancock,
Hardin, Henry, Logan, Lucas,
Madison, Mercer, Miami,

By JIM METCALFE

One gridiron team St.
Johns rebounded from a
potentially devastating loss
the week before with a big
win.
The other Marion
Local comes off a loss that
knocked them out of a tie for
the top spot in the Midwest
Athletic Conference race.
These two teams
will meet up Friday
in Maria Stein in an
effort to stay or
get back on the
right track.
Blue Jay (3-2, 2-1
MAC) coach Todd
Schulte doesnt know
if its such a good
thing that the Flyers
(4-1, 2-1 MAC) are
coming off a loss.
Many times, that
just makes you step back and
re-evaluate things. You dont
want it to happen again, so
you work a little harder and
prepare a little better; I expect
them to be very ready to play
us, Schulte explained. What
stands out for Marion is their
quarterback, Adam Bertke.
They have gone to more of
a spread attack because of
his abilities back there, either
running or throwing. They
have good speed and quick-
ness in their skill positions
and they have a good amount
of size up front that protects
him very well. Even though
they spread you out more,
they can still line it up in the
I and run the typical Marion
Local stuff.
Defensively, they just run
to the football so well. They
have a solid line and they
have two good linebackers in
(Kyle) Mescher and (Alaric)
Keller that run and pursue
well. They maybe arent
as blitz-reliant this year as
theyve been in the past but
they remain aggressive.
The Jays will counter
that defensive unit with an
offense led by Tyler
Jettinghoff (80
rushes, 698 yards,
10 scores; 9 grabs,
124 yards, 1), Luke
MacLennan (27 totes,
168 yards, 1), Mark
Boggs (17-of-49
passing, 238 yards,
3 TDs, 5 picks),
Andrew Metzger (4
catches, 53 yards, 1)
and Luke Wrasman
(4 pancake blocks).
However, MacLennan is day-
to-day with an injury, with
tackle Dylan Stump and skill
player Ben Wrasman also
still out.
Brett Schwinnen is the top
defender (28 solos, 21 assists),
along with Cody Looser (23
and 20), Ben Youngpeter (26
and 14), Troy Warnecke (18
and 19), Metzger (24 and 11)
and Kody White (13 and 17;
3 fumble recoveries).
We have to get our
offense moving forward on a
consistent basis. It seems that
we take two steps forward
and one back, Schulte con-
tinued. We have to get better
at the things we can control
and not worry about what we
cannot. We have to eliminate
penalties and turnovers; those
kill and end drives.
At the same time, special
teams come up big in games
like this; whether its a field
position battle or you can get
a big play out of your speci-
alities.
The Jays come off a 28-7
defeat of Anna.
We challenged the play-
ers after the loss to Coldwater
on how they would respond.
We got off to a
quick start and led
22-0 at the half,
Schulte added.
It was frustrating
when the weather
hit because I felt
we were playing
very well and had
the edge but then we
couldnt maintain it
after that. We lost our
edge sitting around
so long before we
restarted the game. We have
to keep our intensity up, no
matter what.
The Flyers were humming
along until a 24-14 loss to
Versailles over two days.
We had five turnovers;
that wont win you a lot of
games. Up until then, we
had taken to our new offense
pretty well, Marion coach
Tim Goodwin said. We have
a lot of good skill players but
we didnt have a traditional
tight end and we were thin
at fullback coming into the
season, which is why weve
spread it out. Plus, we have
a quarterback we are very
high on.
Defensively, we strug-
gled early on. We have so
many young players on both
sides of the ball; we have
eight sophomores and a
freshman in there a lot, so we
are experiencing the expected
growing pains. Were coming
along and had a bump past
week.
Bertke (83-of-130 pass-
ing, 944 yards, 5 TDs, 6
picks; 63 totes, 424 yards, 8)
leads the attack as a return-
ing junior, along with
running back Jacy
Goettemoeller (87
rushes, 392 yards,
9 scores) and Troy
Homan (18 catches,
204 yards). However,
top receiver Jordan
Rethman is out with
an injury.
Mescher (53 tack-
les) and Keller (47) are
two of the veterans back
for the 3-4 defense.
Were pretty sore coming
into this week: we only got
three plays in Friday before
it ended up being postponed
and basically played the
entire game Saturday, so we
started the week a little more
banged up, Goodwin added.
What you worry about with
St. Johns is their ability to
make the big play. Not many
teams have stopped that.
Plus, they play the typically
good defense.
Turnovers cost us the
game last week and we have
to work on making sure that
doesnt happen again. That
will be the key for us, plus
continuing to get better.
Kickoff is 7:30 p.m.
Jays face off with rival Flyers in MAC
Metzger
Schwinnen
got two in the fourth to tie
it. After a single and two
more walks loaded the bases,
reliever Brian Omogrosso
was greeted by Jason Kipnis
2-run single.
NOTES: Rottino, who
entered the game in the sev-
enth, had two homers ear-
lier this season while with
the Mets. ... The Indians left
14 on base. ... Cleveland SS
Asdrubal Cabrera left the
game after batting in the top
of the first because of a mid-
back strain. Lillibridge took
over at short. ... Indians CF
Michael Brantley (sore groin)
was out of the lineup for
the third consecutive game.
After todays day off, manag-
er Manny Acta said Brantley
should be ready to play
Friday. ... INF Jason Donald
(right hand) hit Wednesday
during a simulated game and
might be available for full
duties on Friday.
TIGERS 5, ROYALS 4
DETROIT Jhonny Peralta
brought home the go-ahead run
when Andy Dirks hard slide broke
up a potential inning-ending double
play in the eighth inning and the
Detroit Tigers beat the Kansas City
Royals 5-4 Wednesday night.
Triple Crown candidate Miguel
Cabrera was robbed of a tie-break-
ing homer in the fifth inning by
Alex Gordons catch above the left-
field wall. Detroit, which started
the day tied with the Chicago White
Sox atop the AL Central for the
first time since Sept. 2, found a
way to break through the eighth,
though.
Delmon Young hit an infield
single with one out in the eighth
off Kelvin Herrera (4-3) and was
replaced by Kelly, who stole sec-
ond base and took third on Dirks
single.
Alex Avila hit a 2-run homer
and Austin Jackson had a solo
shot in the fourth inning to tie the
game.
Luis Marte got two outs in the
fifth and Al Alburquerque gave
up only one hit over 2 1-/ innings.
Joaquin Benoit (4-3) allowed one
hit in the eighth. Jose Valverde
closed the game for his 32nd save
in 37 chances.
ORIOLES 12, BLUE JAYS 2
BALTIMORE Chris Davis
and Manny Machado each connect-
ed twice and the Baltimore Orioles
tied a team record with seven home
runs and stayed within 1 1/2 games
of the AL East lead.
The Orioles ended a 2-game
losing skid against the Blue Jays
and remained close to the division-
leading New York Yankees.
Nate McLouth hit a leadoff shot
in the first inning and Jim Thome
and Mark Reynolds also homered.
Baltimore has hit seven home runs
three times, most recently on Aug.
26, 1985.
Davis 3-run drive gave the
Orioles a 5-run inning and finished
Carlos Villanueva (7-7). Davis fin-
ished with a career-high five RBIs.
Miguel Gonzalez (8-4) allowed
two runs and five hits in seven
innings. He allowed Edwin
Encarnacions 42nd home run with
two outs in the top of the first.
ATHLETICS 9, RANGERS 3
ARLINGTON, Texas Yoenis
Cespedes had one of Oaklands two
triples in the first inning and the
Athletics pulled within three games
of AL West-leading Texas.
The Athletics, who had played
five consecutive 1-run games, led
5-0 only eight batters into the game.
They chased Martin Perez (1-3)
before the rookie left-hander got all
the way through the batting order.
Oakland has won two of three
in the series that wraps up with a
day game today. After that, the As
go home for a 3-game weekend
series against Seattle before host-
ing the Rangers for the final three
games of the regular season.
Rookie righty Jarrod Parker
(12-8) won his third consecutive
decision over four starts. He struck
out eight in six innings.
RAYS 4, RED SOX 2
BOSTON Carlos Pena and
Ben Francisco hit back-to-back,
tape-measure homers in the fifth
inning on Wednesday night to lead
the Tampa Bay Rays to their sev-
enth consecutive victory, 4-2 over
the Boston Red Sox.
The Rays remained 3 1-2 games
behind Baltimore for second place
in the AL East. Tampa Bay began
the day three games behind Oakland
for the second wild-card spot.
It was the final home game of
the season for the Red Sox, perhaps
the last at Fenway Park for Boston
manager Bobby Valentine. Hired to
inspire a fractious clubhouse after
the team went 7-20 last September
under Terry Francona, Valentine
instead presided over what could
be the worst Red Sox team since
1965.
Alex Cobb (10-9) allowed
one run on three hits and a walk,
striking out five in five innings.
Fernando Rodney pitched the ninth
for his 45th save in 47 chances.
Jon Lester (9-14) gave up three
runs on four hits and a walk, strik-
ing out five in six innings. He didnt
allow a hit until Jeff Keppinger
singled to left with one out in the
fifth, then he gave up back-to-back
home runs.
YANKEES 8, TWINS 2
MINNEAPOLIS CC
Sabathia struck out 10 batters over
eight innings and New York beat
remained 1 1/2 games ahead of
Baltimore in the AL East.
The Yankees visit the Blue
Jays for four games starting today.
Baltimore, after an off day, plays
Boston at home this weekend.
Sabathia (14-6) threw 89 of his
118 pitches for strikes. Robinson
Cano hit a 2-run double and Curtis
Granderson added a 2-run triple
during a 6-run third inning against
Brian Duensing (4-11). Sabathia
took care of the rest. The burly
lefty gave up six hits, two runs and
one walk.
ANGELS 4, MARINERS 3
Torii Hunters RBI singles tied
it in the seventh inning and ended
it in the ninth and the Los Angeles
Angels rallied to keep pace in the
AL wild-card race with their fifth
consecutive victory.
Erick Aybar had an early 2-run
double before Hunter ended it for
the Angels (86-69), who remained
two games behind Oakland (88-67)
after the other three teams in the
AL wild-card race all won earlier.
Pinch-hitter Maicer Izturis
opened the ninth with a single off
Stephen Pryor (3-1) and advanced
to third on a wild pitch and Peter
Bourjos bunt. Seattle walked rook-
ie Mike Trout to face Hunter, who
coolly stroked a single to center.
Ernesto Frieri (4-2) pitched the
ninth for the Angels.
INDIANS
REDS
(Continued from page 6)
(Continued from page 6)
with three games in Pittsburgh
and three in St. Louis.
The Brewers play their
final six games at home
against Houston and San
Diego.
Marcum saved their slim
hopes for another day by
emerging from his rut. The
right-hander went on the dis-
abled list in June with tight-
ness in his right elbow. He
was 0-1 with a 5.16 ERA in
his first six games back but
finally got that elusive win on
Wednesday.
Vottos RBI double in the
first caromed off the wall in
left field, a few feet from the
top. It was an encouraging
sign for Votto, who hasnt
homered in his 18 games back
from knee surgery. The first
baseman missed 48 games
because of torn cartilage and
doesnt expect the knee to
be back to normal until next
season.
Votto, the NLs Most
Valuable Player in 2010, is
batting .339 with 20 walks
and one hit-by-pitch since his
return.
The Reds loaded the bases
in the fifth on a single and two
walks but Marcum got Scott
Rolen to go down swinging
on a 2-2 pitch, ending the
Reds last chance.
Arroyo had been in one of
his good stretches, going 5-1
in his last eight starts with a
2.60 ERA. The Brewers put
together five consecutive hits
with two outs in the third for
a 3-1 lead. Aoki hit his 10th
homer to start the rally.
NOTES: Reds C Ryan
Hanigan was back after miss-
ing one game with a bruised
shoulder.

celebration after clinching an
NL wild-card spot the night
before.
The Braves who only
had four hits remained
four games behind first-place
Washington in the NL East.
Prado hit a first-inning
homer off Josh Johnson (8-14)
and drove in Jose Constanza
with a third-inning single.
Johnson allowed three runs,
two earned, four hits and five
walks in six innings.
Maholm (13-10) earned
only his second win in his
last seven starts. The left-
hander gave up five hits with
no walks and six strikeouts in
6 2/3 innings. Chad Durbin
recorded the final out in the
seventh. Eric OFlaherty
pitched the eighth and Craig
Kimbrel earned his 40th save,
matching Jason Motte for the
NL lead, with a perfect ninth
inning.
NATIONALS 8, PHILLIES 4
PHILADELPHIA (AP) Bryce
Harper hit his 20th homer, Ian Desmond
and Kurt Suzuki also connected and
Washington moved closer toward win-
ning its first division title since moving to
Washington.
The 19-year-old Harper joined Tony
Conigliaro as the only teenagers to reach
20 homers in big-league history. The
Nationals reduced their magic number in
the NL East to four with seven remain-
ing.
John Lannan (4-0) gave up two runs
anDODGERS 8, PADRES 2
SAN DIEGO Matt Kemp had four
hits, falling a triple shy of the cycle, and
four RBIs as Los Angeles used a rare
offensive outburst to keep its slim playoff
hopes alive.
Kemp singled and scored in the first
inning, hit a 2-run double in the fourth and
drove a 2-run homer well over the fence in
center in the sixth, his 20th. His four hits
and four RBIs tied his season highs.
Aaron Harang (10-10), San Diegos
opening day starter in 2011, held San
Diego to four singles in 5 1/3 innings,
walked four and struck out three.
METS 6, PIRATES 0
NEW YORK David Wright broke
the Mets record for hits and Jeremy
Hefner bounced back from a horrendous
start in a victory that eliminated Pittsburgh
from playoff contention.
Ruben Tejada tied a career high with
four hits, including two RBI singles, and
Scott Hairston doubled home a run as
the Mets took advantage of some shoddy
Pittsburgh defense to win for the fifth time
in six games.
ASTROS 2, CARDINALS 0
HOUSTON Bud Norris pitched
into the eighth inning for his first win
since May 21 and Jose Altuve homered as
Houston avoided a sweep.
Norris (6-13) allowed two hits and
struck out seven without a walk in 7 1/3
innings to snap a career-long 12-game
losing streak which spanned 18 starts in
the last National League game in Houston
with the Astros moving to the American
League West for 2013.
GIANTS 6, DIAMONDBACKS 0
Matt Cain pitched seven innings and
had two hits and an RBI to lead the San
Francisco Giants over Arizona.
Brandon Belt added three hits, Pablo
Sandoval singled twice and drove in two
runs and Marco Scutaro extended his
career-best hitting streak to 14 games
while helping Cain to his career-best 16th
win. Cain (16-5) looked sharp in his next-
to-last start in the regular season. He scat-
tered four hits and struck out six.
ROCKIES 6, CUBS 0
DENVER Drew Pomeranz tossed
five scoreless innings for his first win in
more than two months and the Colorado
Rockies beat Chicago. The game was
delayed by rain in the seventh inning for 1
hour, 24 minutes.
Charlie Blackmon homered and Chris
Nelson had two hits and two RBIs in the
Rockies third straight win. Pomeranz
(2-9) allowed three hits in his first win
since July 6.

Horoscope
By Bernice Bede Osol
Aunt thinks
church is for
nosiness
Dear Annie: I am a single
mother in my mid-30s and
recently graduated from col-
lege. Because of the current
job market, I am having dif-
ficulty finding a permanent
full-time position in my field.
I will most likely need to
relocate to another state.
The problem is my great
aunt. She is a nosy
gossip and occa-
sionally puts me
on the spot, ask-
ing me all kinds
of questions. I am
not, nor have I
ever been, close to
this woman. I usu-
ally see her only in
church, so this is
where these grill-
ings take place. I
find it highly inap-
propriate, but she
backs me into a corner, and
I end up answering her. She
had the nerve to ask whether
I will be allowed to move
to another state. When I
asked her what she meant,
she alluded to the fact that my
ex-husband may not want me
to take my son elsewhere.
Annie, this woman knows
perfectly well that my ex
wants nothing to do with our
son, and it is extremely hurt-
ful when people bring up the
subject. This man has chosen
to remove himself from our
sons life for the past two
years. Why would she insinu-
ate that hed block me from
moving?
I do not care to air my per-
sonal business to my drama
queen of an aunt so she can
have fodder for her gossipy
life. But she is also family,
and I do not want to cause
controversy by telling her to
mind her own business. How
can I get her to stop her
inquisitions in a tactful way?
-- Niece in the Hot Seat
Dear Niece: There are
ways to avoid answering nun-
ofyerbizness-type questions
by obfuscation and chang-
ing the subject while remain-
ing sweet and pleasant. But
it sounds like you need to
practice in front of a mir-
ror because you get too flus-
tered when cornered. Smile
and say sweetly, Why, Aunt
Bee, when I have news to
share, Ill be delighted to tell
you. Where did you get that
lovely dress? You look 10
years younger. Then give
her a big kiss on the cheek
and walk away before she
recovers. Repeat as needed.
Dear Annie: I have a
scholarship that makes my
private college experience
cost nearly the same as my
sisters public education.
Recently, my father told me
that Im on my own in terms
of paying for grad school,
should I decide to go.
This surprised me because
he and my mother are cur-
rently paying for my sister to
receive her masters degree.
Even though I could handle
taking out loans, Im a little
hurt that theyd pay for my
sisters entire education and
not mine.
How should I deal with
this? -- Feeling Unloved in
Kansas
Dear Kansas: Its possible
that your parents
financial situation
has changed recent-
ly, and although
they feel obligated
to continue with
your sisters tuition,
they cannot afford
to take on any more
expenses. The only
way to find out why
they appear to show
favoritism is to ask
them. But frankly,
neither you nor your
sister should depend on your
parents to cover the cost of
post-graduate degrees. Please
look into scholarships, grants
and other financial aid.
Dear Annie: Faithful
and Upset was besieged by
a girlfriend who objected to
his online friendships with
women. While you agreed
that she is insecure, you also
suggested that he examine his
friendships and ask himself
whether she has a point.
As a 64-year-old straight
male in a monogamous rela-
tionship, my friendships are
almost entirely with women
and gay men. Why? I dont
relate well to guys who
want to talk sports, cars and
how to barbecue. Women
are much more interest-
ing, with two of these rela-
tionships lasting decades.
Fortunately, my fiancee has
no issue with my friend-
ships, which is one of the
reasons I love her.
In my view, Faithful
is liberated from societys
illogical, constraining norms.

Annies Mailbox
FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 2012
Some of your greatest benefits are
likely to come through partnership
arrangements in the year ahead. There
is a strong likelihood that some of
them could turn out to be extremely
important in furthering your interests.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) --
There are two big factors operating
in your favor that will enhance your
probabilities for success. First is your
desire to be helpful, and second is the
pride you take in your work.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) --
Youre an especially good organizer,
especially in promoting and regulating
an activity that can promote one of
your special interests. It wont take
long for others to join in.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec.
21) -- Although you will be lucky
with most of your endeavors, you
wont necessarily be so fortunate in
promoting a material interest. Success
will come in your intangible affairs.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19) -- Your hopes and expectations
are likely to have some marvelous
chances of fulfillment. Dont let a
negative occurrence or down-at-the-
mouth friend convince you otherwise.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) --
This is an excellent day to devote your
efforts to matters that could either
enhance your financial position or
better your career in some way. Youll
be lucky in either case.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20)
-- You wont be inclined to take
a backseat to anyone, which will
quickly become evident to anyone
who attempts to usurp your authority,
no matter how slight it might be.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) --
Go ahead and team up with others, as
long as you know they will do what is
required of them. However, it would
be best if you supply the plan and they
furnish the force.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
-- Even though we live in a self-
contained society, when you do things
that put the needs of others above your
own, you will come out a winner.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) --
Although you might have to contend
with a number of disturbing factors,
your determination will make sure
theyll have little or no influence over
your ambitions.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- A
great way to start your day is to get
going on that exercise program youve
been promising yourself youd start. If
you cant, at least include something
that is physically invigorating in your
day.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- This
is an excellent day to finalize all
those projects youve left dangling
-- just dont attempt to do too many
at the same time. Make quality more
important than quantity.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) --
Persons with whom you associate
will have a strong influence on your
performance and the quality of your
work. If they are doers, youll be one
as well.
