Elida preparing for new school dedication
BY STACY TAFF
[email protected]
ELIDA The dedica-
tion of the new Elida High
School on Sunday domi-
nated the schools board
meeting Tuesday evening.
Superintendent Don Diglia
gave the board an idea of
what to expect on the day.
It will start at 2 p.m. this
Sunday in the new gymna-
sium. The public is welcome
and there will be a formal pre-
sentation with the board and
several guests who helped
out during the course of the
project, he said. Weve also
invited Alexandria Hamilton,
the senior class president and
president of student council,
to come and say a few words
on behalf of the students.
We thought that would be a
nice gesture since we built
this building for the students.
The ceremony will conclude
with a ribbon-cutting and we
will have each of the board
members cut a section of the
ribbon, with Alexandria as
well. We will also provide
organized tours for those who
havent seen the building yet.
It should be exciting.
Board President Brenda
Stocker shared her observa-
tions of the months leading
up to the first day of school.
We were really fortunate
to have those two months this
summer to move in and get
settled, she said. I can only
imagine having to do that
over the course of two weeks
during Christmas break as
other schools have had to
do. Ive been in the building
now that the kids are back
and they just seem happier.
I dont know if its the fact
that they dont have to carry
all of their books around with
them so they can get to class
on time or what but they just
seemed happy. I think its
great. This was a great invest-
ment.
In other news, the board
accepted the following res-
ignations: Non-certified

Federal agents
raid 8 IHOP
restaurants
The Associated Press
The IHOP restaurants
in Lima and Findlay and
several others in north-
western Ohio were raided
Tuesday morning by the FBI
and Homeland Security.
A spokesman for the
FBIs Cleveland division said
he could not discuss what
prompted the raids because
the federal search warrants
were sealed. FBI agent Scott
Wilson said he did not know
if anyone was detained as
a result of the searches.
Besides the Lima and
Findlay restaurants, searches
were conducted at five IHOP
locations in the Toledo area
and one in Evansville, Ind.
All the locations are
owned by the same company,
an IHOP spokesman said.
They were all raided about
the same time. Search war-
rants were issued at 6 a.m.,
Homeland Security reported.
Findlay Courier media
partner, WTOL-TV, reported
authorities were investigat-
ing possible money laun-
dering, funding of terrorist
organizations, and possible
undocumented workers.

City pondering solution to
large duck population
BY NANCY SPENCER
[email protected]
DELPHOS City offi-
cials have begun ground-
work for options on what
to do with the 140-plus
ducks residing in Delphos.
Safety Service Director
Greg Berquist told Delphos
City Council Monday he
had spoken with the Ohio
Department of Natural
Resources Wildlife Division
and also a representative
of an area soup kitchen as
possible avenues for reduc-
ing the duck population. No
action was taken.
Mayor Mi chael
Gallmeier announced trick
or treat for 6-7:30 p.m.
Oct. 27.
The city is consider-
ing a road resurfacing and
widening project for Elida
Avenue and a Gressel Drive
water line loop project for
2012.
Council heard legisla-
tion to apply for grants
through the Ohio Public
Works Commission State
Capital Improvement and/
or Local Transportation
Improvement programs for
the projects. This was the
second reading.
The Elida Avenue work
is expected to cost $210,000
with the citys 20 percent
share being $42,000. This
does not include approxi-
mately $25,000 for engi-
neering.
The Gressel Drive
work is expected to cost
$125,000 with the citys
share being 35 percent, or
$43,740. Engineering costs
were not discussed.
Berquist will prepare
and submit funding appli-
cations to the OPWC for
the two projects. The fil-
ing deadline is Sept. 30
and grants are awarded in
February.
Jennings to submit grant
application for park sewer line
BY NANCY SPENCER
[email protected]

FORT JENNINGS
Plans for a new sanitary
sewer line at Fort Jennings
Park will be submitted
to the Ohio Public Works
Commission State Capital
Improvement and/or Local
Transportation Improvement
programs for Issue I match-
ing funds on Sept. 30, Fort
Jennings Village Council
learned Tuesday.
Surveyor Mike Howbert
presented plans drawn by
Engineer Brad Niemeyer
to council in August to run
a sanitary sewer line from
Second Street north of Fort
Jennings Bank to and under
the Auglaize River and to the
Fort Jennings Park Board rec-
reation building at the west
entrance of the park. The line
would then extend to a lift
station just south of the ten-
nis courts.
The proposed line would
make it possible to install
new restrooms at the park in
the future.
The projects estimated
cost is $42,525.
Funds are awarded each
February.
Kincaid Painting will
begin work on the mainte-
nance building on Monday.
The structure will be prepped
and painted. Kincaid won the
bid for $2,760.
Council also approved
transferring $10,000 from
the General Fund to the
Park Fund to meet payroll
and other expenses. Mayor
Jim Smith said the amount
should be sufficient to carry
the account over through
Spring.
Park Board President Jerry
Siefker relayed Stephanie
Miller from the National
Forestry Division will visit
the park on Oct. 16 for a haz-
ardous tree evaluation. Smith
said he would contact Miller
about some tree issues in the
village.
Smith also told council
an insurance audit was com-
pleted on the park and for the
first time, no concerns were
raised.
The Ohio Department of
Transportation will upgrade
paving on State Route 189
in the near future and will
address some small issues
within the village, according
to Smith.
Council entered into exec-
utive session to discuss legal
matters and adjourned with
no further business.
The next meeting will
begin at 7:30 p.m. Oct. 18
in the Fort Jennings Branch
Library.

The only true measure of success is the ratio between what we might have done and what we
might have been on the one hand, and the thing we have made and the things we have made of our-
selves on the other. H.G. Wells, English author (born this date in 1866, died 1946.)

One Year Ago
Every year since 1989, supporters of St. Johns parish
and schools have participated in the K of C/St. Johns Golf
Benefit. This year, the benefit was held on June 4 at the
Delphos Country Club. The proceeds of this years benefit
totaled $9,200. Grand Knight of the Delphos K of C Council
Jim Mesker and Dr. Mike Martz, representing the organizers of
the event, presented the Rev. Mel Verhoff, pastor of the parish,
with the check.

Penalties, miscues and big plays continued to haunt St.
Johns as the Blue Jays dropped a 13-6 homecoming decision
to New Bremen Friday night. The Jays may have suffered
another serious injury as senior Randy Stemen was taken from
the field in an ambulance. Last week the Jays lost tackle Joe
Krendl for the season with a broken leg.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
By BETH FOUHY
and KASIE HUNT
Associated Press
NEW YORK Rick
Perry, Mitt Romney and
their GOP presidential rivals
slammed President Barack
Obamas Middle East poli-
cies Tuesday while emphati-
cally declaring their ownsup-
port for Israel as the United
Nations considered a bid for
Palestinian statehood.
Republican front-runner
Perry, the Texas governor,
denounced the presidents
Israel policy as misguided
and dangerous, speaking to
supporters in New York as
the Obama administration
worked a few miles away to
thwart a U.N. vote to grant
formal recognition to the
Palestinian Authority.
Perry also accused
Obama of appeasement, as
did Minnesota Rep. Michele
Bachmann, who assailed the
president from the Midwest.
Perrys chief rival for
the nomination, former
Massachusetts Gov. Romney,
issued a statement accusing
Obama of throwing Israel
under the bus.
The Republican campaigns
have similar goals: establish
contrasts with Obama on an
issue where hes struggled;
chip away at American Jews
support for Democrats and
prove their conservative, pro-
Israel bona fides with the
evangelical voters who will
play a significant role in the
GOP presidential primaries.
During the 2008 election
campaign, Obama worked
hard to reassure nervous
Jewish voters that he would
defend Israel as president.
But hes faced doubts and
criticism since then.
Perry criticized Obamas
stated goal that any nego-
tiations should be based
on Israels borders prior to
the 1967 Mideast war, with
mutually agreed adjustments
and land swaps to accom-
modate population shifts and
some homebuilding since
1967. Perry called that stance
insulting and naove.
Obama angered Israel
earlier this year by endors-
ing a Palestinian demand
that negotiations over future
borders begin with the lines
Israel held before capturing
the West Bank, Gaza and
East Jerusalem in 1967.
In regard to potential offi-
cial recognition, the admin-
istration has been working
intensively behind the scenes
to restart direct negotia-
tions between Israelis and
Palestinians and to persuade
Palestinian leader Mahmoud
Abbas to drop his push and
avoid an explosive confron-
tation at the U.N. later in the
week.
But Perry had strong criti-
cism nonetheless, speaking to
a group of ultraconservative
Jewish and Israeli leaders at a
New York hotel.
Simply put, we would not
be here today at the precipice
of such a dangerous move
if the Obama policy in the
Middle East wasnt naove,
arrogant, misguided and dan-
gerous, Perry said, flanked
by U.S. and Israeli flags.
The Obama administration
has appeased the Arab Street
at the expense of our own
national security interests.
They have sowed instability
that threatens the prospect of
peace.
Romney said, What we
are watching unfold at the
United Nations is an unmiti-
gated diplomatic disaster. It is
the culmination of President
Obamas repeated efforts
over three years to undermine
its negotiating position. He
called for an end to U.S. for-
eign aid to the Palestinian
Authority if the U.N. vote
went the Palestinians way.
The candidates remarks
represented their efforts to
win over the conservative and
evangelical voters who care
deeply about GOP support
for Israel. They back Israel as
a U.S. ally in the fight against
terror and as a rare democ-
racy in the volatile Mideast.
Some also support Israel for
theological reasons.
Perry told reporters his
support for Israel was in part
driven by his religious faith.
Republicans who describe
themselves as evangelical
prefer Perry over Romney
33 percent really like Perry
while just 17 percent real-
ly like Romney, according
to an August AP-GfK poll.
Republicans who arent evan-
gelical like both men about
the same.
Embracing Israel, GOP
candidates assail Obama
By STEPHEN
OHLEMACHER
Associated Press
WASHINGTON
President Barack Obama says
he wants to make sure mil-
lionaires are taxed at higher
rates than their secretaries.
The data say they already
are.
Warren Buffetts secre-
tary shouldnt pay a higher
tax rate than Warren Buffett.
There is no justification for it,
Obama said as he announced
his deficit-reduction plan this
week. It is wrong that in the
United States of America, a
teacher or a nurse or a con-
struction worker who earns
$50,000 should pay higher
tax rates than somebody pull-
ing in $50 million.
On average, the wealthiest
people in America pay a lot
more taxes than the middle
class or the poor, according to
private and government data.
They pay at a higher rate, and
as a group, they contribute
a much larger share of the
overall taxes collected by the
federal government.
The 10 percent of house-
holds with the highest
incomes pay more than half
of all federal taxes. They pay
more than 70 percent of fed-
eral income taxes, according
to the Congressional Budget
Office.
In his White House address
on Monday, Obama called on
Congress to increase taxes
by $1.5 trillion as part of
a 10-year deficit reduction
package totaling more than
$3 trillion. He proposed
that Congress overhaul the
tax code and impose what
he called the Buffett rule,
named for the billionaire
investor.
The rule says, People
making more than $1 mil-
lion a year should not pay a
smaller share of their income
in taxes than middle-class
families pay. Buffett wrote
in a recent piece for The New
York Times that the tax rate
he paid last year was lower
than that paid by any of the
other 20 people in his office.
Middle-class families
shouldnt pay higher taxes
than millionaires and billion-
aires, Obama said. Thats
pretty straightforward. Its
hard to argue against that.
There may be individual
millionaires who pay taxes
at rates lower than middle-
income workers. In 2009,
1,470 households filed tax
returns with incomes above
$1 million yet paid no fed-
eral income tax, according to
the Internal Revenue Service.
But thats less than 1 percent
of the nearly 237,000 returns
with incomes above $1 mil-
lion.
This year, households
making more than $1 mil-
lion will pay an average of
29.1 percent of their income
in federal taxes, including
income taxes, payroll taxes
and other taxes, according
to the Tax Policy Center, a
Washington think tank.
Households making
between $50,000 and $75,000
will pay an average of 15
percent of their income in
federal taxes.
Lower-income households
will pay less. For example,
households making between
$40,000 and $50,000 will pay
an average of 12.5 percent of
their income in federal taxes.
Households making between
$20,000 and $30,000 will pay
5.7 percent.
The latest IRS figures are
a few years older and lim-
ited to federal income taxes
but show much the same
thing. In 2009, taxpayers
who made $1 million or more
paid on average 24.4 percent
of their income in federal
income taxes, according to
the IRS.
Those making $100,000
to $125,000 paid on average
9.9 percent in federal income
taxes. Those making $50,000
to $60,000 paid an average of
6.3 percent.
Obamas claim hinges on
the fact that, for high-income
families and individuals,
investment income is often
taxed at a lower rate than
wages. The top tax rate for
dividends and capital gains
is 15 percent. The top mar-
ginal tax rate for wages is
35 percent, though that is
reserved for taxable income
above $379,150.
Are wealthy taxed less than secretaries?

WASHINGTON The
number of young adults
without health insurance has
dropped significantly, a new
survey finds, thanks to a pro-
vision of President Barack
Obamas health care law
allowing them to stay on their
parents plans.
The new Gallup poll find-
ings translate to about 1 mil-
lion more young adults with
health insurance.
While the bleak economy
has made it hard for young
people trying to enter the
workforce, fewer are being
forced to also go without
medical care.
A Gallup survey released
today finds that the share
of adults ages 18-25 with-
out health insurance dropped
from 28 percent starting last
fall to 24.2 percent in the
second quarter of this year.
That defies the disheartening
trend of rising numbers of
working-age Americans with-
out coverage.
While we did not see
a drop-off in any other age
group, we did see a drop in
this age group, said Frank
Newport, Gallups polling
director.
Public opinion remains
divided about Obamas health
care overhaul, but coverage
for young adults has proven
to be a popular and relatively
low-cost benefit that fami-
lies were eager to sign up for
in these days of prolonged
school-to-work transitions.
Health and Human Services
Secretary Kathleen Sebelius
planned her own announce-
ment today about health
insurance for young adults. A
Census report last week hinted
at an increase in coverage.
The new law allows adult
children to remain on a par-
ents plan until they turn 26,
a provision that technically
took last effect last fall but
wasnt implemented by most
workplace health plans until
Jan. 1.
The big change started in
the last quarter of 2010 and
continued further in the first
two quarters of this year, said
Newport. Bingo, it started
going down.
Young adults some-
times termed the invinci-
bles are still more likely
to be uninsured than any other
age group.
Some are making the
switch from school to work.
Others are in low-wage jobs
that dont usually offer cover-
age. And some pass up work-
place health insurance because
they dont think theyll use it
and would rather get a little
extra in their paychecks.
Census figures show near-
ly 35 million people are in the
18-25 age group, so Gallups
4 percentage-point drop
would translate to an increase
of roughly 1 million or more
getting health insurance.
The Gallup findings are
in line with other reports. A
survey of employers this sum-
mer by Mercer, the benefits
consulting firm, found a 2
percentage-point increase in
health plan enrollment as a
result of extending coverage
to workers young adult chil-
dren. Young adults are gen-
erally inexpensive to cover.
Survey: Signifcant drop in uninsured young adults
WASHINGTON (AP)
The U.S. military passed a
historic milestone Tuesday
with the repeal of the ban on
gays serving openly in uni-
form, ending a prohibition
that President Barack Obama
said had forced gay and les-
bian service members to lie
about who they are.
Defense Secretary Leon
Panetta pledged not to allow
other issues of equal opportu-
nity, such as allowing women
to serve in combat roles, to be
ignored or set aside.
Repeal of the 18-year-old
legal provision commonly
known as dont ask, dont
tell, under which gays can
serve as long as they dont
openly acknowledge their sex-
ual orientation took effect
Tuesday at 12:01 a.m. EDT.
Appearing with Panetta for
what was probably his final
news Pentagon conference as
chairman of the Joint Chiefs
of Staff, retiring Navy Adm.
Mike Mullen said that with
the new law allowing gays
to serve openly, the military
is a stronger, more tolerant
force with greater character
and honor.
Some in Congress still
oppose the change, argu-
ing that it may undermine
order and discipline, but top
Pentagon leaders have certi-
fied that it will not hurt the
militarys ability to recruit or
to fight wars.
Obama issued a statement
saying he is confident that lift-
ing the ban will enhance U.S.
national security, that hence-
forth our armed forces will
no longer lose the extraordi-
nary skills and combat expe-
rience of so many gay and
lesbian service members.
Later Tuesday, at a New
York City Democratic fund-
raiser, the president said he
had met backstage with some
young Americans who had
been discharged from the mil-
itary because of the dont
ask, dont tell policy.
As of today, that will
never happen again, Obama
said. As of today, no one
needs to hide who they are
to serve the country that they
love.
The head of Pentagon per-
sonnel policies issued a memo
to the work force at a minute
after midnight Tuesday. All
service members are to treat
one another with dignity and
respect regardless of sexual
orientation, the memo from
Clifford Stanley said.
Gay advocacy groups cel-
ebrated across the country.
A lingering question is
whether disciplinary proce-
dures are adequate to deal with
any future instances of harass-
ment of gays in the ranks.
Michael Corgan, a professor
of international relations at
Boston University and a U.S.
Naval Academy graduate,
said its mainly a matter of
leadership.
Discipline problems that
might arise from gays serv-
ing with an overwhelming-
ly straight population in the
military should be able to be
handled the way any other
disciplinary problems are, if
commanders are up to their
jobs, Corgan said.
In Iraq, a spokesman for
U.S forces put out a statement
noting that all troops there had
been trained for the change.
For weeks the military ser-
vices have accepted applica-
tions from openly gay recruits,
while waiting for repeal to
take effect before processing
the applications.
With the lifting of the ban,
the Defense Department pub-
lished revised regulations to
reflect the new law allowing
gays to serve openly.

A Saturday
with the Eichers
BY LOVINA EICHER
This is a diary of this past
Saturday.
6:30 a.m. Time to get
up. We are going to go help
Jacob and Emma today. They
will have church
services at their
house next week-
end.
8 a.m. Our
family begins the
four mile ride to
Jacobs. Some of
the children take
Tiger, our minia-
ture pony and the
pony wagon. Some
of the girls take the
single buggy pulled
by Diamond, our 17-year-old
horse. Joe and I and a few of
our children take the surrey,
which is our big two-seated
buggy pulled by our 7-year-
old horse, Ginger. The girls
stay on the road behind the
children with the pony wagon
to make sure they dont have
any problems. It is a cool
morning and the horses are
eager to run.
9:30 a.m. Breakfast
is ready at Emmas. On the
menu is homemade biscuits,
sausage gravy, fried eggs,
fried potatoes, cheese, sliced
tomatoes, hot peppers, V8
juice, orange juice, coffee
and sugar cookies.
10:15 a.m. A few of
the girls wash the dishes, the
rest of us start cleaning win-
dows, washing screens, etc.
The men and the boys haul
manure. After the windows
are clean, we hang up all the
curtains Emma washed the
day before.
1 p.m. The windows
are done so we go outside to
the building where they will
have church services. The
windows there get cleaned
and the floors get swept and
mopped. Also there is some
organizing to do. The men
and boys are still hauling
manure. Jacob helps show
us where to put his tools and
so forth.
3 p.m. I help Emma get
lunch prepared. It will actu-
ally be our lunch and supper
together. We ate a late break-
fast so no one was hungry
earlier. They still
have sweet corn in
their garden, so we
prepare that. We
also make potato
soup with pota-
toes and onions
from their garden.
Also on the menu
is barbecued pork
steak and ham,
tomatoes, cheese,
watermelon, Oreo
cookie dessert and
sugar cookies.
3:45 p.m. Ready to
eat. Everyone comes in and
cleans up.
4:30 p.m. The men and
boys are back outside hauling
manure while we wash the
dishes.
5:15 p.m. The five girls
leave for home with some
taking the single buggy and
others taking Tiger and the
pony wagon.
6 p.m. Our neighbor
comes over to Jacobs to get
Joe to take him back home
to help the girls. They were
taking Diamond off the sin-
gle buggy and somehow his
harness caught on the shaft.
This was enough to get him
all shook up and he started
kicking. When 17-year-old
Elizabeth tried to hold on
to him, he kicked at her
and took off with the buggy
which was only hooked by
a strap on his harness. This
spooked Diamond even
more taking a circle through
our yard, tipping the buggy
on its side. He then tore his
harness to get away from
the buggy, took off down
the drive and into our hay
field. He was very skit-
tish and wouldnt let the
girls get close to him. Our
neighbor drove his truck
with Joe in the passenger
seat. They drove very close
to him and after Joe did
some coaxing and talking to
Diamond, he settled down.
We are very thankful that
all ended well and no one
was hurt. Needless to say
we had some very shook up
girls. The buggy will need
a lot of repair and so will
Diamonds harness. We are
just glad it is all fixable.
It is always surprising that
your oldest, calmest horse
can turn into a wild one if
something unusual happens.
Joe thinks when Diamond
felt himself still caught to
the buggy he must have pan-
icked
7 p.m. Our neighbor
brought Joe back to Jacobs
and we started for home
with Ginger and the buggy.
Everyone gets cleaned up and
after the excitement we decide
to call it a day. Our thoughts
also go back to 9 years go
today when we heard about
dear Mothers passing.
This is recipe is a great
way to use up end-of-the-
garden green tomatoes before
the first frost hits.
GREEN TOMATO JAM
6 cups ground green toma-
toes
4 cups sugar
6 ounces raspberry or
strawberry gelatin
In a large mixing bowl,
mix green tomatoes and
sugar. Boil over medium heat
for 20 minutes. Add gela-
tin. Remove from heat and
stir well. Put into sterilized
jars and seal. (Proper can-
ning procedures should be
followed. Consult canning
guidelines at USDA.gov or
contact your local county
extension agent.)

DELPHOS The Kalida
Wildcats used their quickness
against St. Johns Tuesday
night as they came away with
a 5-0 girls soccer victory at St.
Johns High School.
Summer Holtkamp scored
three goals for the Wildcats
while keeper Erica Brinkman
had seven saves (vs. 7 shots
on-goal) as they improved to
7-0-1 on the season, while the
Lady Blue Jays fell to 2-7.
After we scored the first
goal, the girls were excited
and kept playing hard, Kalida
coach David Kehres said.
Brinkman had some really
nice saves and she is starting
to come into her element a
little more and feeling more
comfortable.
Kalida had five shots on-
goal before they could get one
past St. Johns sophomore
goalie Madison Kreeger (12
saves versus 18 shots on-goal):
at the 27:53 mark when fresh-
man Jackie Gardner had a cor-
ner kick right to Holtkamp,
then she made it in the back
left corner from about four
yards away.
Five minutes later,
Holtkamp was tripped inside
the box, receiving a penalty
kick. Holtkamp made it just
past Kreeger as she dove but
couldnt save it as Kalida went
up 2-0.
Not even four minutes
later, Gardner got the ball to
Holtkamp once again and she
darted a 20-yard laser back in
the right corner of the net as
Kreeger dove but just missed.
At 10:18, St. Johns Kati
Wrasman was just left of the
goal on an 8-yarder and at
8:55, her 16-yard bullet was
deflected and controlled by
Brinkman. With five minutes
to play in the opening half,
Kalida sophomore Nicole
Reindel got the ball down to
classmate Sarah Verhoff and
she scored from six yards out
just over the top of Kreegers
head.
The Lady Blue Jays quick-
ly got the ball down to the
other end for a good attempt
by Wrasman as she was left
wide open on the right side
but Brinkman was there once
again as she came up with the
save.
The second half was a more
aggressive play as neither team
wanted to back down. The
defense was tighter as Kalida
only got three shots on-goal
and St. Johns attempted four
shots on-goal.
With 12:54 on the clock,
freshman Lindsey Erhart was
wide open on the right side as
she took a shot at the goal from
about 12 yards out and made
it past Kreeger for a Kalida
5-0 lead.
At the 11:49 mark, Ashley
Kroeger used her head to try
and get the ball past Brinkman
but she deflected it and came
up with the save.
St. Johns had another good
look at the goal two minutes
later as Courtney Grothouse
shot from eight yards out but
was right at Brinkman.
We came with a whole
different attitude the second
half even though we were
down in the score, St. Johns
coach John Munoz said. We
came out after the break with a
fighting mentality but it seems
like a broken record lately that
we cannot put the ball in the
back of the net but the chances
are there. The record doesnt
show but I believe we are
getting better and better each
game.
The Lady Blue Jays travel
to Sidney Lehman Thursday,
while Kalida travels to Bath
Township to take on Bath
Saturday.

LIMA Jefferson need-
ed to be perfect to have a
chance against Northwest
Conference volleyball
power Lima Central
Catholic Tuesday night
at Msgr. E.C. Herr
Gymnasium.
The Wildcats put up a
decent fight but too much
experience and depth by
the Lady Thunderbirds
resulted in a 25-14,
25-10, 25-4 sweep.
We started out pretty
well but as the match
wore on, we lost our inten-
sity and focus. Give credit to
LCC, Jefferson coach Joy
Early noted. They are a very
good team. It can get frustrat-
ing when youre playing a good
team.
There wasnt much to real-
ly look at as far as stats go
for Jefferson (1-8, 0-3 NWC):
the leading hitter was senior
Nadine Clarkson with two
kills, while sophomore Kamie
Pulford totaled four digs.
We dominated tonight. We
got almost our entire varsity
team in tonight, giving them
time, and every girl we played
did well, LCC head man Wes
Horstman said.
He had a few more sta-
tistics this night: senior set-
ter Madison George had 19
assists and an incredible 10
aces, with the Jefferson back
row struggling to get to her
variety of serves; junior Sarah
Pajka totaled seven kills; and
junior Shanna Farler added
three digs.
Delphos put up a tougher
fight in the first set but just
found too many experienced
players and height to deal
with, with hitters like Tylyn
Taylor, Nicole Thomas and
Julia Stechschulte. The young
Lady Wildcats; with only
two seniors, four juniors, five
sophomores and two freshmen;
found the going tough as the
Thunderbirds (9-3, 2-1 NWC)
went up a set.
The second set was much
the same: the T-Birds had too
many weapons click-
ing and the Wildcats
struggling to find con-
sistent hitting at the net
and in the back row.
An ace by George on
set point put them in
complete control.
There wasnt much
to the third set accept
LCC domination. They
put down eight more
aces, for example, and
junior Emma Patton
served the last 13 points
four on aces to finish the
sweep.
At the same time LCC is a
fine team, we cant be focused
on who we are playing. We
have to focus on what we are
doing on our side of the net,
Early added. Were incon-
sistent with our hitting, partly
because we are still struggling
with proper form every time
at it and partly due to our
passing and back-row play. I
tried some different girls in the
lineup tonight to try and find
our best passers in the back
row; its hard to get quality
hits when you cant get the ball
forward.
Horstman as a simple rea-
son for his teams success year
after year.
Most of these girls play
volleyball all year around.
They are learning how to play
it before I even get them,
he added. I dont do have to
a lot when I get them in the
summer. Its pretty easy to put
more things in because they
are advanced when they get
to me.
LCC dropped the Jefferson
junior varsity to 2-7 (0-3 NWC)
with a 25-13, 25-14 loss.
Both squads return to NWC
action Thursday: Jefferson at
home versus Lincolnview and
LCC at home versus Ada.

Musings
Its amazing how quickly
superconferences are taking
shape, just as I predicted months
ago I am turning myself into
a pretzel patting myself on the
back!!!!
With the announcement
that Pittsburgh and Syracuse
are leaving the Big East and
headed to the ACC, with
supposedly UConn and
I believe West Virginia
also contemplating
the move, things are
a-happening.
Texas A&M com-
ing into the SEC
seems to have started
the ball rolling this
time around, with supposedly
Missouri possibly going there.
In addition, Texas and
Oklahoma are pondering mov-
ing to the PAC 12, along with
Texas tech and Okie State.
There are a myriad of other
potentialities that will surface in
the near future.
All of this is for football
reasons.
Even Notre Dame is in
the mix as being potentially
forced into giving up its foot-
ball independence but, again
supposedly, they are consider-
ing the ACC and NOT the Big
Ten.
They already have the
rivalries with Michigan, MSU
and Purdue, as well as poten-
tial natural rivalries with Ohio
State, Illinois, Northwestern,
etc. It makes no sense to go
into the ACC, presumedly for
its academic proximity to the
Fighting Irish.
With some of the far-flung
conferences now becoming
reality, what of the average
fans? I am not talking about
the parents of a Pittsburgh-area
football player who is playing
at Ohio State, say, and will go
to Lincoln no matter what to
watch their boy play.
Or the fans who are retired
and drive their Winnebagos to
all the games.
I am talking about the ones
who are fans that have no dog
in the fight, so to speak, and
dont have that luxury.
For example, Craig Krenzel
is taking Buckeye fans on a
3-day bus trip to Lincoln when
OSU plays at Nebraska that
is, for those that can pony up
$1,195!
Its also going to make
things much more difficult as
far as traditional rivalries, the
real lifeblood of college foot-
ball.
We shall see.
By the way, this is my last
column of Metcalfes Musings!
That is, for Wednesdays.
Now that you are all
awake again after passing out,
I am moving this column to
Thursdays.
Due to The Herald no lon-
ger publishing a paper paper
on Tuesday and pushing mak-
ing articles to Wednesday, I
am doing so in the interests of
space.
This will begin next week.
Thanks for your patience
and good attitude about this sort
of thing. No tears, now!

FORT JENNINGS
Visiting Van Buren scored
twice in the second half to
secure a 2-1 boys soccer vic-
tory over host Fort Jennings
Tuesday night at the Fort
Jennings Outdoor Athletic
Complex.
Its disappointing. We
didnt have very good ball
possession and we failed to
switch the field from one side
to the other enough; it was
there, Musketeer coach Gregg
Luthman notrd. We were
making progress this season
and these are things I thought
we had shored up. We didnt
have the patience we needed;
we were not taking our time.
The Musketeers (3-6) had
scored with 26:17 left in the
first half to take the lead but
struggled to put together many
scoring chances throughout the
match.
On the other side, the Black
Knights (6-4) had a solid offen-
sive show, taking advantage of
a lack of possession by the
hosts.
Though they were shut out
in the first half, it took less than
10 minutes of the second to tie
it at 1-1. At the 32:57 mark,
sophomore Daniel
Roberts got posses-
sion of the orb near
midfield and made
a great run down
the middle, veering
toward the post and
making nice moves
to get around defend-
ers. He fired from 15
yards and went opposite to get
past diving senior keeper Nick
Verhoff (8 saves versus 10
shots on-goal) for the tally.
The Knights continued to
have the better and more
numerous scoring chances.
However, either Verhoff was
up to the task or, more likely,
their aim was off-target.
Such as at 13:28, when
Roberts was just wide left on a
9-yarder from the right wing.
Or at 4:53, when he was
just over the crossbar from the
left wing.
However, the visitors put
together a nice 1-2 attack
at 4:07. Senior Zach Rader
launched a crossing pass from
deep down the right side-
line to junior Preston
Wise, who 1-touched
a ball from in front of
the goal to the high
right side past a div-
ing Verhoff for a 2-1
score.
The Musketeers
did have two prime
chances in the sec-
ond half: at 6:07, when senior
Brian Wurst fired a 12-yarder
from the left wing just over
the bar; and at 2:31, when
he launched another one from
the right side but was denied
by Knight freshman netminder
Nathan Maynard (2 saves vs. 3
shots on-goal).
The Black Knight forwards,
especially Roberts, Wise,
senior Brian Davidson and
senior Josh Roberts; gave the
Musketeers fits up front from
the start.
Still, the defense, led by
Verhoff and seniors Jeremy
Schimmoeller, Aaron
Schnipke, Petey Van Loo and
Ethan Schimmoeller, held up
their end.
The Musketeers had their
first shot on-goal at 26:17 of
the first half and made it count:
sophomore Seth Ricker fed
senior Chad Recker for a run;
with the goalie out some, he
fired a 14-yarder from the right
post past the sliding netminder
and into the near side of the
twine for a 1-0 edge.
The best opening the visi-
tors had in the first half was at
22:01, when D. Roberts had a
shot from the doorstep of the
left post but Verhoff made the
stop.
Well get there, I have no
doubt, Luthman added. The
guys played hard as they
always do and gave great
effort. They competed hard.

Knoxville at high noon

DELPHOS Parkway put
St. Johns in the hole from
the start Tuesday night and
grabbed a 25-13, 25-12, 25-14
sweep of the Lady Blue Jays in
Midwest Athletic Conference
volleyball play at Robert A.
Arnzen Gymnasium.
Parkway improves to 13-2,
while Delphos falls to 3-10.
In set one, the Panthers
got off to a quick start with
a Haley Burtch (11 kills)
kill, with an assist by Haley
Roehm (18 assists). The
Panthers moved on to gain a
13-5 lead as Becca Harshman
(6 kills; 4 blocks; 8 digs)
had an easy set-up due to an
overpass from the Lady Blue
Jays.
Junior Heather Vogt (7
kills; 5 digs) had a kill to
bring her Blue Jays within
19-11 but Burtch eventually
caught Delphos on the back
of their heels as she tipped it
over for the first-set victory.
Set 2 was quickly led
by Parkway as Burtch gave
her team an early 10-5 lead.
Lauren Utrup played big at
the net for the Blue Jays as
she had a kill and then a block
to come within eight (18-10).
Junior middle hitter
Morgan Steinbrenner (3 kills;
3 blocks) had a big play at
the net as she tipped the ball
where no St. Johns defenders
were to give the Panthers a
2-set lead.
The third set was led by
the Panthers Bailey King (5
kills; 2 blocks) as she had
five kills and Steinbrenner
contributed with three big
blocks. Miscommunication
and mental errors by the Lady
Blue Jays also helped give
Parkway the MAC victory.
Miscommunication and
consistency is what we lacked
again tonight, St. Johns
coach Kellie Sterling said.
This has been the story of
our season so far; we just
need to work on hustling after
the ball and consistency.
St. Johns junior libero
Katrina Etzkorn had a team-
best 11 digs.
We came out strong
tonight and we wanted to
work on speeding things up
in the middle and outside and
we did just that, Parkway

BULLION

ADA It was wet
and rainy Monday after-
noon when Jefferson visit-
ed War Memorial Park in
Ada Monday night for a
Northwest Conference girls
soccer match.
The field held up quite
well considering the condi-
tions and the visiting Wildcats
moved within a game of .500
with a 2-1 victory.
With the score notched
at 1-1 to start the second
half, the Bulldogs (1-6-1,
0-3 NWC) rode the momen-
tum from the first half and
pressed the attack. They got
three prime looks in the first
eight minutes, especially in
the 37th minute when sopho-
more Annabel Pinkney got a
shot from 18 yards deflected
by Jefferson senior keeper
Cassidy Bevington (6 saves
versus 13 shots on-goal, 15
total); and in the 33rd min-
ute when Pinkneys 10-yarder
from the left post hit the right
post and senior Sara Clums
follow shot went over the
crossbar.
The Wildcats (3-4) then
seemed to take control of the
orb and pressed their attack.
In the 23rd minute, senior
Amanda Vorst had an open
look from 20 yards on the left
side and hit the outside of the
near post and out of bounds.
They also had bad luck
with the frame in the 16th
minute when junior Jenna
Moreo had a 1-on-1 look
from 10 yards and hit the bar
from 12 yards; Vorst had a
follow shot and went
over the top.
The Red and White
finally got the match-
winner at 14:01. Senior
Elizabeth Schosker
launched a free kick
toward the goal from 30
yards; Ada junior keeper
Natasha Long deflect-
ed the orb but right to
Moreo, whose in-close
putback was true.
About a minute hence,
the Wildcats were prevented
from going up by two goals
as Long deflected and finally
controlled a 1-on-1 try from
10 yards by More.
Both teams missed on free
shots due to handballs outside
the box and Adas last real
chance to knot the score was
denied when Schosker back
on defense now deflected
a 14-yarder by junior Annie
Hannah when Bevington was
out of position.
Our defense remains
solid. It just cones down to
our offense right now, finish-
ing shots, Jefferson coach
Lindsey Drerup noted. We
continue to work on that and
we are getting more attempts;
its putting them in the back
of the net that has to happen
now. We had our moments
to dominate; I told the girls
we had to do that the
second half and for
the most part, we con-
trolled the ball. Were
starting to see what
we can do over a lon-
ger period of time.
Im excited as we
move forward in our
season.
Ada coach Marty
Clum also saw posi-
tives.
We started slow today but
we picked it up as we went.
Were also struggling to find
offense and put the ball in
the back of the net, he said.
When they took the lead,
we got more aggressive but
in the second half, Jefferson
was more aggressive overall.
I have a lot of players but a lot
of them are new to the sport
or havent played since they
were on the Under-12 team.
We are making progress and
that is what we need at this
point.
The Wildcats came out of
the gate quickly, especially
Schosker and freshman Kylee
Haehn up front. In the 32nd
minute, Haehns 12-yarder
from the minddle hit the left
post; she had a follow shot
knocked away by a defender.
At 29:46, Haehn made it
1-0. Off a corner kick from
the right side, her bullet hit
off the goalkeepers hands
and into the goal.
Ada replied with a new
sense of urgency and they
began to have the better of
the proceedings, though they
struggled at getting shots.
That is, until 21:45. Off a
turnover on a throw-in from
the left side, Pinkney got pos-
session and lofted a 20-yarder
form the wing over the top of
Bevington and into the twine.
Ada continued to possess
the orb and had several chanc-
es got just wide or high.
In the 11th minute,
Pinkney got a solid opening
from the left wing and her
12-yarder was at first deflect-
ed and finally controlled by
the keeper.
Jefferson is at Continental
10 a.m. Saturday, while Ada
brings Upper Sandusky 5
p.m. today.

BLUFFTON Fort
Jennings scored a goal in
each half and senior keeper
Kelsey Von Lehmden pitched
a shutout Monday, besting
host Bluffton 2-0 in a girls
soccer clash at Steinmetz
Field in Bluffton.
Both teams defenses
limited the others good
shots in the contest, with the
Musketeers (5-2-1) getting
11 shots on-goal to seven for
the Pirates (4-4-0).
Each had their times with
momentum on their side.
The Musketeers final-
ly penetrated the Bluffton
defense enough for junior
Macy Schroeder to net an
unassisted goal in the first
half and put the visitors up
1-0.
The Lady Pirates then
seemed to seize momentum
in pressing the attack against
the Musketeer defense and
senior keeper Kelsey Von
Lehmden (2 stops) but never
seemed to get that needed
open look for the tie.
The Musketeers then
regained the momentum the
second half and had much
better looks at the goal and
Pirate sophomore Abbey
Heslep (5 saves).
That, or the defenders
in front were on their toes
enough to block any other
tries at the goal.
That is, until the 3:37 mark
of the second half. Schroeder
set it in motion with a great
cross pass to sophomore for-
ward Ashley Gable and she
did the rest, With Heslep off
her line enough, Gable one-
touched it over the top from
middle to left for an insur-
ance goal.
Were still not quite
where we want to be offen-
sively. Our passing is not
quite where we want it to get
but its coming; we always
start the season slow and
build as we go, Musketeer
mentor Rodney Wagner
noted. We have a lot of
players up front that can score
and we have a lot of speed
to attack the goal. Were
strong defensively from the
back line on up. We have
some tough matches coming:
Ottoville, Allen East, Van
Buren, Jefferson; that were
going to have to start scoring
a little more. The girls keep
working hard and getting bet-
ter and you want and need to
see that as the season wears
on and the tournament comes
around.
The Pirates of Joel
Steinmetz are also coming
along nicely.
Weve been down for
a couple of years because
weve been playing so many
young girls. Last season,
we started four freshmen,
Steinmetz added. Youre
seeing the results of simply
being a little more physically
mature and having a better
understanding of the game.
Like every other team, were
a work in progress and were
not finished yet were still
a lot of freshmen and sopho-
mores but its coming.
Fort Jennings hosts
Ottoville 5 p.m. Friday.
Bluffton is at Van Buren
Thursday.

COLUMBUS GROVE
Ottoville and Columbus
Grove battled in a long
Putnam County League vol-
leyball marathon Monday
night at Columbus Grove.
The Lady Bulldogs took a
2-0 set lead but Ottoville ral-
lied back for a fifth set.
In the end, Columbus
Grove outlasted the
Lady Green 25-22,
25-22, 16-25, 22-25,
15-13.
The Lady Bulldogs
(4-7, 1-2 PCL) ran off
a key 6-2 lead in the
fifth set but Ottoville came
close with a kill by Abby
Siefker (20 kills; 6 blocks)
to bring her team to a tie
at 13-13. Miscommunication
and a mental error gave the
Lady Bulldogs the PCL win.
The girls did a
really good job of
fighting and coming
back to win the third
and fourth sets and
I was really happy
with them not giving
up, Ottoville coach
Susan Jones said.
We just couldnt finish the
last game. Errors and mis-
communication killed us.
The first two sets were
thrillers between the two
Putnam County rivals as
Grove came out ready to play
in the first set. They took an
early 5-1 lead with a Riley
Eversole (7 kills) kill with
an assist by senior Nicole
Langhals (26 assists).
Ottoville rallied back as
Siefker had five set kills and
two blocks to give Ottoville
a slight 16-14 advantage.
Two mis-hits by the Lady
Green and Columbus Grove
freshman Hope Schroeder
(19 digs; 7 kills) capitalizing
off the errors gave the Lady
Bulldogs the first-set victory.
Hope has just really
been stepping it up and we
noticed her ability and leader-
ship during the junior varsity
matches, so we brought her
up, Columbus Grove coach
Kelly Lepley said. She is an
all-around good player and
we like to have her on our
team.
Set 2 started like the first
as Columbus Grove gained a
6-2 lead with an Anna Ricker
kill. Sophomore Elizabeth
Selhorst (8 kills) was particu-
larly effective at the net with
four kills and a block in the
Bulldogs second victory.
The third set changed pace
as Grove had a few men-
tal errors and the
Lady Green took
advantage. An
overpass from the
Lady Bulldogs gave
Megan Bendele
(11 kills; 12 digs;
3 blocks) an easy set-up as
she pounded it down to give
Ottoville a 22-15 lead. A mis-
hit by Grove kept the Lady
Green alive. Bendele led her
team with four kills, four digs
and two blocks in the set.
Ottoville gained
the momentum
for the fourth set
as Siefker had five
kills while Taylor
Managas (8 digs; 3
kills) had three aces.
Schroeder brought
her team within two
after an impressive dig from
Siefkers attack, which led to
a Ricker kill. Bendele had a
huge block to give her team
the advantage, 23-21, and
lead her team to the fifth set.
We played really relaxed
tonight and we have been
looking for that this season,
Lepley added. Its harder to
teach the girls how to play
relaxed than to teach them
passing or serving.
Columbus Groves Sammi
Stechschulte contributed with
four blocks.
Ottovilles Tonya Kaufman
dished out 16 assists and Sarah
Luersman added 12 digs.
The junior varsity match-
up was won by the Lady
Bulldogs, 25-21, 18-25,
25-17.
The Lady Green visits
Miller City 6 p.m. Thursday,
with Grove entertaining
Spencerville at the same
time.

LOS ANGELES Clayton
Kershaw became the Los Angeles
Dodgers first 20-game winner in 21
years, beating San Francisco 2-1 on
Tuesday night and pushing the Giants
closer to elimination from the NL West
race.
Kershaw (20-5) allowed six hits
and one run in 7 1/3 innings, walked
two and struck out six to go 5-0 against
the Giants this season the first
Dodger to do so since Vic Lombardi
in 1946.
Four of the wins came against Tim
Lincecum, with Kershaw allowing one
earned run in those games. That came
on an eighth-inning homer by Chris
Stewart.
Javy Guerra pitched the ninth to
earn his 19th save in 20 chances.
Lincecum (13-13) extended his
career-high loss total, giving up two
runs and eight hits in seven innings.
The loss ended the Giants 8-game
winning streak and dropped them anoth-
er game behind Atlanta and St. Louis in
the NL wild-card race. They trail the
Braves by 4 1/2 and the Cardinals by 2
with eight games to play.
Pirates 5, Diamondbacks 3
PHOENIX Charlie Morton threw
six scoreless innings and Pittsburgh
slowed Arizonas drive toward the NL
West title.
Any combination of three Arizona
victories or San Francisco losses and
the Diamondbacks will dethrone the
Giants as division champions.
Derrek Lee hit a 2-run homer in
the eighth for the Pirates and Pedro
Alvarez had a solo shot in the second.
Morton (10-10), loser of his previ-
ous four starts, allowed three hits and
struck out five in his first victory since
Aug. 8.
Daniel Hudson (16-11) lasted five
innings for the Diamondbacks, allow-
ing three runs and seven hits.
Joel Hanrahan pitched a perfect
ninth for his 39th save in 42 tries.
Nationals 4, Phillies 3, 10 innings,
1st game Nationals 3, Phillies 0, 2nd
game
PHILADELPHIA Ross
Detwiler outpitched Cliff Lee by toss-
ing 7 1/3 impressive innings in the
second game and Washington swept a
day-night doubleheader from the NL
East champions.
In the opener, Tommy Milone
threw six scoreless innings and pinch-
hitter Ryan Zimmerman delivered
an RBI single in the 10th to lift the
Nationals to a 4-3 victory.
Detwiler (3-5) allowed three hits
in his longest career outing. The left-
hander earned his first road win after
going 0-9 in his first 12 starts away
from home.
Lee (16-8) gave up three runs
two earned and 11 hits, striking out
nine in seven innings. It was his first
loss since July 25.
The Phillies have lost four straight
since clinching their fifth consecutive
division crown. The Nationals have
won nine of 12.
Drew Storen finished off the 3-hit-
ter for his second save of the day and
40th this season.
Braves 4, Marlins 0
MIAMI Rookie Randall
Delgado pitched five innings for his
first major-league win and Atlanta put
the brakes on their recent skid.
The Braves still lead St. Louis by
2 1/2 games in the NL wild-card race
after blowing a ninth-inning lead to
lose Monday. The margin was 10 1/2
games on Aug. 25.
Delgado (1-1), making his sixth
career start, pitched around five hits
and lowered his ERA to 2.70. Cristhian
Martinez and Anthony Vavaro both
retired six consecutive batters to com-
plete the 16th shutout for the Braves,
which ties for third-most in the
majors.
Anibal Sanchez (8-9) lost to the
Braves for the third time in as many
starts this year, allowing three runs in
five innings.
Brewers 5, Cubs 1
CHICAGO Shaun Marcum

NL Central title.

and one run and struck out seven. He
doubled and scored during Milwaukees
4-run third inning.
Rickie Weeks drove in two runs
and Nyjer Morgan reached base three
times, stole a base and scored two runs
to help the Brewers reach 91 wins for
the first time since 1992.
Milwaukee needs a combination of
three wins or St. Louis losses to clinch
the division. The Cardinals beat the
Mets 11-6 on Tuesday night.
Chicagos Randy Wells (7-5)
allowed six hits and five runs in five
innings.
Randy Wells (7-5) was roughed up
in his second straight outing, allowing
six hits and five runs in five innings.
Reds 6, Astros 4
CINCINNATI Homer Bailey
shut Houston down again and came up
with a career-high three hits and Devin
Mesoraco homered to help Cincinnati
snap a 4-game losing streak.
Brandon Phillips also homered
while Jay Bruce had three hits and
Dave Sappelt and Juan Francisco each
added two hits for the Reds.
Bailey (9-7), who went into the
game 3-0 with a 0.86 ERA in three
starts against the Astros this season, set
a career-high in wins while allowing
six hits and two runs in seven innings.
Francisco Cordero pitched the
ninth for his 34th save.
Houston starter Bud Norris (6-11)
left the game two outs into the third
inning with discomfort in his right
shoulder. Norris allowed seven hits
and three runs with two walks and
three strikeouts while setting a career
high in losses.
Cardinals 11, Mets 6
ST. LOUIS Pinch-hitter Ryan
Theriot hit a a go-ahead double with
the bases loaded in the seventh inning
for St. Louis.
Albert Pujols went 4 for 5 to push
his batting average to a season-high
.304. It was the 36th 4-hit game of his
career and seventh of the season.
The Cardinals 11th win in 13
games kept them 2 1/2 behind Atlanta
in the wild-card chase.
The Cardinals scored six times in
the seventh to come back from an
early 4-0 deficit after the Braves beat
Florida 4-0.
Theriot hit a pitch from Tim
Byrdak into the gap in left-center to
bring in Pujols and Lance Berkman,
who both singled against Josh Stinson
(0-2) for a 7-6 lead.
Padres 2, Rockies 1
DENVER Mat Latos tossed
8 2-3 shutout innings and Orlando
Hudson had two hits for San Diego.
Latos (8-14) got just his third win
since June 27 despite stringing together
10 straight quality starts. He struck out
a season-high nine and came within
a pitch of his second career complete
game.
Eric Young Jr. had two hits for
Colorado, which has lost six straight.
The Padres didnt need much
offense against Rockies starter Jhoulys
Chacin to win for the fourth time
in the last five games. Jason Bartlett
scored on Hudsons single in the first
to make it 1-0, and Hudson and Jeremy
Hermida hit consecutive doubles in the
sixth to make it 2-0.
Chacin (11-13) allowed one earned
run and six hits, struck out four and
walked two in six innings.
Rookie Jordan Pacheco singled up
the middle to break up the shutout and
Heath Bell came in for his 40th save.
American League
Yankees 5, Rays 0
NEW YORK Ivan Nova pitched
shutout ball into the eighth inning,
Curtis Granderson drove in four runs
and the New York Yankees moved
within one win of a playoff berth by
beating the Tampa Bay Rays 5-0 on
Tuesday night.
Granderson hit a three-run double
and reached base four times, boosting
his MVP credentials as the Yankees
slowed Tampa Bays charge at rival
Boston in the AL wild-card race. New
York can secure its 16th postseason
trip in 17 years with one victory in
todays day-night doubleheader against
the Rays.
In fact, the AL East leaders are
in with a win over Tampa Bay in any
of their six remaining matchups this
season. And it wont take much more
to wrap up the division title, too. The
Yankees opened a 6-game lead over
second-place Boston, their largest of
the season.
Tampa Bay remained two games
behind the Red Sox for the AL wild
card. Boston lost to the Orioles 7-5.
Orioles 7, Red Sox 5
BOSTON Robert Andinos
three-run double in the eighth inning
gave the Orioles a win and ruined a
chance for the Red Sox to extend their
two-game lead in the AL wild-card
race.
Andinos go-ahead hit came off
Jonathan Papelbon, who had gone 21
games since last allowing a run on July
16. It was his second blown save of
the season and first since May 9, the
last time he entered a game before the
ninth inning.
The Red Sox seemed headed for a
three-game, wild-card lead over Tampa
Bay, which lost to the New York
Yankees 5-0 on Tuesday. But their
struggles continued as they fell to 4-13
since leading the Rays by nine games
on Sept. 3. Boston has seven games
remaining and Tampa Bay has nine.
Angels 10, Blue Jays 6
TORONTO Mark Trumbo hit
a 3-run homer, Vernon Wells added a
solo shot and the Los Angeles Angels
beat the Toronto Blue Jays 10-6 on
Tuesday night.
Trumbo went 2 for 5 with four
RBIs and Erick Aybar stole home as
the Angels kept their faint postseason
hopes alive. Los Angeles remained
five games behind Texas in the AL
West and moved within 3 1/2 games of
Boston in the wild card race.
Rich Thompson, Bobby Cassevah
each worked one inning of relief,
Garrett Richards got two outs in the
ninth and Scott Downs finished for his
first save.
Rangers 7, Athletics 2
OAKLAND, Calif. Adrian
Beltre hit a 3-run homer in the first
that held up for 15-game winner Derek
Holland and the AL West-leading
Rangers beat the Athletics.
Michael Young hit an RBI single in
the third that gave him 200 hits for the
sixth season and drove in another run
in the eighth, Mike Napoli also singled
in a run and Texas won for the seventh
time in eight games and eighth in 10.
The first-place Rangers maintained
their five-game division lead over Los
Angeles after the Angels won 10-6 at
Toronto. Reigning AL champion Texas
is 12-5 in September. The Rangers
magic number to win the AL West is
down to four.
Rookie Michael Taylor hit his first
major league home run in the fifth
his 18th career at-bat for Oaklands
lone run against Holland (15-5), who
won his fourth straight decision.
Indians 4, White Sox 3, 1st Game;
White Sox 5, Indians 4, 2nd Game
CLEVELAND Alexei Ramirezs
seventh-inning single broke the games
final tie and led Chicago to a win over
the Indians, giving the White Sox a
split of the day-night doubleheader.
Asdrubal Cabreras solo home run
and six strong innings from Fausto
Carmona gave Cleveland a victory in
the first game.
The teams, who were eliminated
from the AL Central race last week
when Detroit clinched the division, are
battling for second place. The Indians
lead the White Sox by 1 1/2 games.
Matt Thornton (2-5) pitched 1 1-3
innings for the win in the second game
and Chris Sale went the final 1 2/3
innings for his seventh save.
Cleveland took a 4-3 lead into the
seventh before Chicago rallied against
rookie reliever Zach Putnam (0-1).
Royals 10, Tigers 2
KANSAS CITY, Mo. Eric
Hosmer went 5-for-5 with a 3-run
homer and Luis Mendoza got his first
major-league win in more than three
years in the Royals win over the
Tigers.

Answers to Mondays questions:
In 1964, The Beatles held the top 5 positions on the music
singles chart with (in order) Cant Buy Me Love, Twist
and Shout, She Loves You, I Want to Hold Your Hand
and Please Please Me. That week was the only time a
single person or group held all top 5 positions.
Only 1 in 3 shoppers will return an unwanted item to its

Todays words:
Jouk: a sudden movement
Wanderjahr: a year of traveling before settling down
Todays joke:
A nursery school driver was delivering a van full of kids
home one day when a fire truck zoomed past. Sitting in the
front seat of the truck was a Dalmatian dog. The children
started discussing the dogs duties.
They use him to keep crowds back, said Tommy.
No, said Billy, Hes just for good luck.
Peter brought the argument to a close. They use the
dogs, he said firmly, to find the fire hydrants.

DEAR DR. GOTT: Do you
have any information on bee sting
therapy for the chronic pain of
fibromyalgia?
DEAR READER: This therapy
dates back more than 3,000 years
in China and involves placing live
bees on strategic pressure points of
a patients body. It is similar to the
needles used in acupuncture, but in this
instance, the therapy uses the stingers
to control the pain of diseases such as
rheumatism, arthritis, shingles, lupus,
herniated discs, MS, diabetes and
fibromyalgia. The treatment relies
mainly on the poison of the bees,
which can help blood circulation,
ease pain and reduce inflammation.
Following a sting, our adrenal
glands produce cortisol, a natural
hormone with anti-inflammatory
properties. Supposedly the therapy
jump-starts our immune systems to
trigger the production of endorphins,
the bodys natural painkiller. Some
specialists in the field believe a
characteristic of the venom is the
presence of dopamine, serotonin
and norepinephrine, which help heal
conditions involving nerve disorders.
There are several bee venom
products available on the market,
but topical and ingestible products
apparently will not provide complete
relief, perhaps because our digestive
enzymes break down these products
and render them useless.
Most research and studies have
been directed toward managing
multiple sclerosis, but that field is
expanding to include arthritis and
numerous arthritis-related disorders.
Of importance is that up to 5 percent
of our population is allergic to bees;
therefore, patients seeking to use this
therapy must always be tested first.
One downside is that some patients
simply cant endure the injections
because of the pain involved.
In answer to your question, this
therapy that has been around for
more than 3,000 years is still in its
infancy in the United States, and
because insufficient research has
been documented, the jury is out on
whether it is the answer to a more
pain-free existence for fibromyalgia
and arthritis sufferers.
Readers who would like related
information can order my Health
Reports Fibromyalgia and
Osteoarthritis by sending a
self-addressed, stamped No. 10
envelope and a $2 U.S. check
or money order for each report
to Dr. Peter Gott, P.O. Box 433,
Lakeville, CT 06039. Be sure to
mention the title(s), or print an
order form from my websites
direct link: www.AskDrGottMD.
com/order_form.pdf.
DEAR DR. GOTT: Ever
since I was a youngster, Ive
drank more than other kids. Im
now in my mid-40s, and its not
uncommon for me to drink more
than a gallon of liquids a day --
a cup of coffee in the morning, a
can of Coke during the day, and
close to a gallon of water and other
drinks. Almost all of it is water.
There are times now before I go to
bed when my mouth gets dry and Im
thirsty. I know some of my meds do
cause dry mouth. I have been tested
for diabetes numerous times because
the doctors want to rule it out as soon
as they hear how much I drink. My
blood work is always very good, and
I wonder if my dry mouth is anything
to be concerned about since it is a
relatively new symptom.
DEAR READER: The urge to
drink excessive fluids has many
potential possibilities other than the
diabetes your doctors are looking
for. Heart, liver or kidney failure,
specific drugs such as diuretics
and anticholinergics, psychogenic
polydipsia (excessive thirst), diabetes
insipidus (a condition in which the
kidneys are unable to conserve water)
are but a few possibilities. I assume
you have eliminated salt from you
diet -- both from meal preparation
and adding it to foods when eating.
You should also avoid canned and
other foods high in sodium.
I recommend you make an
appointment with your physician
and request additional lab testing
to possibly include a CBC with
differential, serum calcium level and
perhaps more based on your medical
history.
Dr. Peter H. Gott is a retired
physician and the author of several

Time to Care
About Your
Care
Dear Annie: We all know
that health care is expensive
and that finding good, afford-
able care can be tough. There
is a way your readers can
avoid unnecessary heath care
bills: by learning what high-
quality care looks like.
We spend a whopping $700
billion a year on health care in
America for tests, procedures,
medical appointments, hospi-
tal stays and other services that
dont improve ones health.
As a society, we
get an awful lot
of health care that
helps us feel better
-- even saves our
lives -- but also a
lot that is unneces-
sary or wrong and
can be dangerous.
Sometimes we
dont receive the
care we should be
getting to treat our
conditions.
During the
month of September, we
are asking Americans to
Care About Your Care.
We want people to under-
stand, identify and receive
care that is safe and effec-
tive. Your readers can go to
www.careaboutyourcare.org
to learn how to recognize --
and demand -- high-quality
care. -- Sincerely, John R.
Lumpkin, M.D., Robert
Wood Johnson Foundation
Dear Dr. Lumpkin:
Thank you for giving us this
opportunity to mention your
website, which offers sugges-
tions for readers to learn how
to best manage their health. In
this day and age, it is vitally
important that we recognize
the most effective ways to
protect ourselves and stay
well. We hope your website
will be up and running for a
long time.
Dear Annie: Family get-
togethers have turned into a
big headache. I understand
that some relatives have food
allergies. But my siblings
have become very picky eat-
ers. One has self-imposed
dietary restrictions, another is
a semi-vegan, another wont
eat beef, another only will eat
free-range chicken, and one
doesnt eat vegetables of a
certain color.
Last year I told them that
I will make the main dish-
es, and they can bring side
dishes. They said that would
be too difficult, as they live
too far away and the food
wouldnt be fresh. In order
to accommodate everyone, I
would have to have a per-
sonal chef. Eating out isnt
an option since we live in
a semi-rural area and there
arent a lot of restaurants.
My siblings were not
raised like this. Mom always
had good, balanced meals. It
seems to me they could eat
whats on the table as best
they can. This is really annoy-
ing me. What can I do before
the holidays start? -- Stressed
Out by Picky Eaters
Dear Stressed: There is
a limit to how accommodat-
ing you need to be. Prepare
a meal that the majority will
eat. Have enough side dishes
so no one will starve. Then
tell them you hope they enjoy
the meal, but if not, you will
understand if they choose to
go elsewhere. Smile politely
and ignore all negative com-
ments about the food. We
suspect they will
find a way to nibble
on something.
Dear Annie:
May I add another
story about not get-
ting a condolence
card from the doc-
tors office?
A few years ago,
I received a condo-
lence card addressed
to my family from
my doctors office,
signed by all the
doctors and personnel. They
thought I had died. They said
many nice things about how
I would be missed and how
well I was liked.
I called the office and said
I was still alive and would
be in soon for my annual
checkup. The receptionist
checked her records and said,
Oh, my! It says you are
deceased! I told her at least
I found out what they thought
of me. We both had a good
laugh over that.
I have a fairly common
name and understand how it
might have happened. My
records were changed, and I
breathed a sign of relief. --

THURSDAY, SEPT. 22, 2011
In the next year, you should seek
personal fulfillment by joining a
social organization that has members
who enjoy the same activities as you.
If you like golf, join a golf club, if you
like bridge, join a bridge group, and
so on.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- If
you find yourself to be a bit restless,
put aside your plans and call a pal
who is always ready to do something
interesting. What you dont think of
he or she will.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) --
Channel your efforts toward a single
goal, and youll end up accomplishing
far more than you ever thought
possible. Putting too many things on
your plate could cause an unwieldy
meal.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22)
-- Some knowledge you acquired
by simply being a good listener will
prove to be immensely valuable.
Itll prove how beneficial it is to pay
attention at all times.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec.
21) -- Dont settle for undesirable
terms; instead be prepared to call the
other guys bluff. If the conditions are
unsatisfactory, take a walk and let him
or her do all the sweating.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
-- A business partner will emulate your
mode of operation, so its going to be
up to you to supply the motivating
factors to get what you want. He or
she will then back you up.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19)
-- No one will have to tell you where
your opportunities lie -- youll be
cognizant of them all on your own. Be
imaginative, energetic and enterprising
as to how you claim them.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) --
You should be able to put to rest your
enormous assumption that someone
you like never notices you when this
person starts showering you with all
kinds of attention.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) --
Because you know you have people
in your corner who will back you up,
youre able to be more daring about
what you do and how far you can take
things. You should be able to get what
you want.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
-- Your imagination knows no
boundaries and, as a result, youll be
able to come up with something new
and more daring thatll capture the
exact results youre looking for.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) --
Knowing what you want is only one
part of your goal -- actually going after
it could be a bit more challenging.
It might take a lot of courage to
accomplish your aims.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
-- Unless you are challenged, you
wont actually have any reason to put
forth your best effort. However, if a
gauntlet is thrown down, the Galahad
within you will quickly emerge.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Use an
indirect approach toward achieving
your purposes, especially if there
is someone who always questions
your efforts. Youll have your goal
accomplished before anybody notices
it.
