Zombies invade Delphos

BY STEPHANIE GROVES sgroves@delphosherald.com DELPHOS If you were driving down Main Street late Sunday afternoon, you might have thought the town was under attack or a new Thriller video was in production. This was not the case. Instead, zombies of all ages converged on the Delphos Memorial Park and brought donations of canned goods to participate in the citys firstever zombie walk. The contributions collected for the event will be donated to local food banks. The event was organized by Mike Betz of MyTown and Sonya Osting, an event planner who works with county and volunteer services. Zombie walks are popular in many larger cities, Osting explained, and it is an interesting way to raise community awareness and gain support for good causes. We are looking forward to making each annual event bigger and better each and every year. After gathering at the park, the volunteer planners sold 50/50 raffle tickets and organized the zombies for group photos. The mass of un-dead then lurched, crawled and staggered down to Brentilys Pub south on Main Street where the festivities continued. The 50/50 drawing took place and winners of the best-dressed, scariest, grossest, funniest and most original won prizes donated by Delphos area businesses. The event was highly successful, drawing 75 people with 43 of them in costume.

WASHINGTON (AP) Social Security recipients shouldnt expect a big increase in monthly benefits come January. Preliminary figures show the annual benefit boost will be between 1 percent and 2 percent, which would be among the lowest since automatic adjustments were adopted in 1975. Monthly benefits for retired workers now average $1,237, meaning the typical retiree can expect a raise of between $12 and $24 a month. The size of the increase will be made official Tuesday, when the government releases inflation figures for September. The announcement is unlikely to please a big block of voters 56 million people get benefits just three weeks before elections for president and Congress. The cost-of-living adjustment, or COLA, is tied to a government measure of inflation adopted by Congress in the 1970s. It shows that consumer prices have gone up by less than 2 percent in the past year. Basically, for the past 12 months, prices did not go up as rapidly as they did the year before, said Polina Vlasenko, an economist at the American Institute for Economic Research, based in Great Barrington, Mass. This year, Social Security recipients received a 3.6 percent increase in benefits after getting no increase the previous two years. Some of next years raise could be wiped out by higher Medicare premiums, which are deducted from Social Security payments. The Medicare Part B premium, which covers doctor visits, is expected Delphos City Council will to rise by about $7 per month for 2013, hold a coat drive from 9 a.m. according to government projections. to noon on Oct. 27 at the City Zombies Danni Lynn Van Dyke, 4, Adrianna Van Dyke, 5, and The premium is currently $99.90 a month for most seniors.

ed to announce the premium for 2013 in the coming weeks. The COLA continues to be very critical to people in keeping them from falling behind, said David Certner, AARPs legislative policy director. We certainly heard in those couple of years when there was no COLA at all how important it was. How important is the COLA? From 2001 to 2011, household incomes in the U.S. dropped for every age group except one: those 65 and older. The median income for all U.S. households fell by 6.6 percent, when inflation was taken into account, according to census data. But the median income for households headed by someone 65 or older rose by 13 percent. Thats all because of Social Security, Certner said. Social Security has the COLA and thats whats keeping seniors above water, as opposed to everybody else whos struggling in this economy. Seniors still, on average, have lower incomes than younger adults. Most older Americans rely on Social Security for a majority of their income, according to the Social Security Administration. Its useful to bear in mind that no other group in the economy gets an automatic cost-of-living increase in their income, said David Blau, an economist at The Ohio State University. Seniors are the only group. Still, many feel like the COLA doesnt cover their rising costs. You have utilities go up, your food costs go up. Think about how much groceries have gone up, said Janice Durflinger, a 76-year-old widow in Lincoln, Neb. I See INCREASE, page 10A

Centrist sen. specter died fighting for moderation

By MArC LeVY the Associated Press HARRISBURG, Pa. Arlen Specter, a pugnacious and prominent former moderate in the U.S. Senate who developed the single-bullet theory in President John F. Kennedys assassination and played starring roles in Supreme Court confirmation hearings, lost a battle with nonHodgkin lymphoma at a time when Congress is more politically polarized than anyone serving there or living in America can remember. Specter, 82, died Sunday, after spending much of his career in the U.S. Senate warning of the dangers of political intolerance. For most of his 30 years as Pennsylvanias longest-serving U.S. senator, Specter was a Republican, though often at odds with the GOP leadership. His breaks with his party were hardly a surprise: He had begun his political career as a Democrat and ended it as one, too. In between, he was at the heart of several major American plishments, the health care and political events. He drew the economic stimulus bills. Specter died at his home in lasting ire of conservatives by helping end the Supreme Philadelphia from complicaCourt hopes of former fed- tions of non-Hodgkin lymphoeral appeals Judge Robert H. ma, said his son Shanin.

Mandel, Brown to meet in GOP VP candidate, first lady stumping first Ohio Senate debate
BRIEFS
in Ohio
CINCINNATI (AP) Republican vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan and First Lady Michelle Obama will be reaching out to voters in campaign appearances around Ohio. Ryan is set to hold a rally at an airport in Cincinnati at noon today. The first lady will make stops later today in Cleveland and near Columbus in Delaware. Ryan and GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney campaigned in Ohio on Saturday. Ryans rally will mean the Republican ticket has been in Ohio six of the last eight days. The first lady was last in Ohio on Oct. 2 to speak on the first day of early voting. Democratic President Barack Obama returns to Ohio Wednesday at Ohio University in Athens, while former President Bill Clinton and music star Bruce Springsteen will campaign Thursday for Obama in Parma. CLEVELAND (AP) The candidates in the combative campaign for Ohios U.S. Senate seat are about to face off for the first time. Incumbent Democrat Sherrod Brown and Republican challenger Josh Mandel will meet in Cleveland this afternoon for the first of three debates. Republicans seeking to gain Senate seats are targeting Brown who won a surprise victory six years ago, making this race one of the most costly and closely watched U.S. Senate races.in the country. Brown has accused Mandel of being more concerned about running for a higher office than doing his job as state treasurer. Mandel has countered that Brown is a career politician who is too liberal for the state. Both campaigns and outside groups have spent millions flooding the air waves with campaign ads that have taken on a nasty tone leading up to the Nov. 6 election. A study by the Wesleyan Media Project found that $6 million was spent on more than 10,000 ads in the state during the last three weeks of September alone. Polls have shown that Brown has an edge in the state, but the race remains tight. Brown, 59, has been in politics since 1974 when he became the youngest state representative in Ohio his-

Police: officer who shot Birders woman felt threatened question wind-turbine proposal
CINCINNATI (AP) An officer who fatally shot a woman armed with a knife while responding to a domestic disturbance at an apartment complex in southwest Ohio was faced with an immediate threat to his life, the Cincinnati police chief said Sunday. Chief James Craig told reporters at a news conference on Sunday that the investigation into the shooting is continuing, but that his initial opinion is that Officer Matthew Latzy was justified in the shooting. Erica Collins, 26, of Cincinnati, was shot twice Saturday afternoon as she approached the officer with a butcher knife outside her apartment complex, police spokeswoman Lt. Kimberly Williams said. She died at the scene. Williams said Collins reportedly got into an argument with her sister at the apartment complex around 1 p.m. Saturday and had called police, telling them that her sister was hitting her door and trying to break into her apartment. Latzy was the first on the scene and saw Collins sister loading personal items in an SUV parked in front of the building and Collins standing on her apartment balcony, according to Williams. The police spokeswoman said Collins then ran out of the building with the knife and toward the SUV in an apparent attempt to slash a tire, and Latzy ordered Collins to drop the knife. Several witnesses report hearing the officer tell Collins to put down the weapon, but she did not comply, Williams said. Police said witnesses also report hearing Collins challenge the officer to shoot her as she moved toward him with the knife. Latzy then shot Collins once in the head and once in the chest. Eric Deters, an attorney who is representing Collins family told The Cincinnati Enquirer that witnesses he spoke with told him no one was in imminent harm when Collins was killed. He said in a statement that he expected to file a lawsuit to get full discovery of the facts. When she was shot, she was not near anyone and did not threaten the police officer in any manner, Deters said in the statement. Latzy, who joined the department in 1999, was placed on administrative leave pending completion of the investigation.

tory. He later was elected secretary of state and to Congress. Brown was a big supporter of the auto industry bailout and President Barack Obamas federal health care law. Mandel, 35, was elected to statewide office in 2010. Hed been a Cleveland-area city councilman and state legislator. He has called for fiscal conservatism and criticized Browns support of the health care overhaul. Mandel, a Marine veteran who served two tours in Iraq, has faced criticism throughout the campaign for hiring friends and political operatives into his state office and missing official state duties.

ST. MARYS (AP) A two-year, $8.5 million project to stop toxic algae in Ohios largest inland lake isnt working. The 13,000-acre Grand Lake St. Marys in western Ohio was sprayed with aluminum sulfate in April that was supposed to keep the bluegreen algae from feeding on phosphorous in the water. A similar treatment was applied last year. The Columbus Dispatchreports that this years treatment was spoiled by high winds that helped stir phosphorus-rich mud from the lake bottom. A report due in December is expected to raise questions about whether the state will fund a third treatment. Toxic algae grow thick feeding on phosphorus in manure, sewage and fertilizers that rains wash into nearby streams. They produce liver and nerve toxins that can sicken people and kill pets.

TOLEDO (AP) A proposal for 198-foot wind turbine near Lake Erie is worrying people who flock to the northern Ohio shoreline to view migratory birds. The (Toledo) Blade reports that birders are worrying about what effect the turbines whirring blades will have on bald eagles and migratory birds that gather in the marshes and woods along the lake twice a year. The proposal for the turbine a mile from the lake in Ottawa County is under attack and is being analyzed by wildlife officials. Kim Kaufman, executive director of Black Swamp Bird Observatory in Oak Harbor, says the coastal swath dotted with wildlife areas and refugees is a globally important bird habitat. Officials say the 500-kilowatt turbine would generate wind power, reduce electric costs and aid research.

CLEVELAND HEIGHTS (AP) The late comic book writer Harvey Pekar of the American Splendor series is being honored by two northeast Ohio libraries, with a sculpture featuring the writer at one library and a drawing featuring him imprinted on the other librarys cards. The bronze sculpture featuring a statue of Pekar appearing to be walking out of a comic book panel that is mounted on atop a wooden desk was unveiled Sunday at the main branch of the Cleveland HeightsUniversity Heights Public Library System in suburban Cleveland where Pekar did much of his research. The Cleveland Public Library, where Pekar also spent time, plans to honor him by offering its new cards imprinted with a drawing that features him and the library starting on Monday. Pekar, who died at the age of 70 at his Cleveland Heights home in 2010, wrote comic books and graphic novels that portrayed the lives of ordinary people. His work also chronicled his life as a file clerk in Cleveland and even included his struggle with cancer. Pekar was a repeat TV guest of David Letterman and his American Splendor was made into a film starring Paul Giammati. Pekars widow, Joyce Brabner, who worked to raise the $25,000 needed to finance the sculpture at the library in Cleveland Heights attended the ceremony Sunday. Artist J.T. Waldman also was there. He illustrated the last Pekar graphic novel, Not the Israel My Parents Promised Me that was finished after Pekars death. Its not really about a statue of Harvey, its about the work he did, Brabner said in a telephone interview Sunday. Its about comics as art and literature because Cleveland is a comics town. The desk on which the sculpture is mounted contains paper and pencils

which library patrons can use to write and draw comics, library spokeswoman Cheryl Banks said. The library in Cleveland Heights also installed a plaque Sunday recognizing the branch as a Literary Landmark for its connection to Pekar. The landmark designation was made by the American Library Associations United For Libraries division. Pekar spent a lot of time at the Cleveland Heights library doing research for his work and is deeply missed by the staff who worked closely with him. Now we know that every day people will come here and will be able to learn about him and his work, library Director Nancy Levin said. Pekar also was a loyal patron of the Cleveland Public Library and presented programs there. The new library card imprinted with his image honors him and his work, library spokeswoman Cathy Poilpre said. The illustration of Pekar and the librarys downtown branch that was purchased for use on the library cards was done by Joseph Remnant for the book Harvey Pekars Cleveland. He loved and depicted Cleveland in very touching ways in his books and really believed that libraries were important to the quality of life in this city, Poilpre said.

Justices as campaign issue

By MARK SHERMAN The Associated Press WASHINGTON A closely divided Supreme Court. Four justices in their 70s. Presidential candidates with dramatically different views of the ideal high court nominee. And yet, until late in Thursdays debate between Vice President Joe Biden and Republican vice presidential nominee Paul Ryan, hardly a word about the court had passed the candidates lips. When the presidential candidates debated a week earlier, the Supreme Court was not mentioned even once. Neither President Barack Obama nor Republican challenger Mitt Romney talks about the court in campaign speeches. In the space of a couple of minutes on Thursday, however, the vice presidential candidates touched on the stakes in next months election. The court came up when debate moderator Martha Raddatz asked about abortion. Ryan made a reference that might have been oblique to many viewers but was well understood by advocates on both sides of the abortion debate as a repudiation of the courts decision in Roe v. Wade in 1973 declaring a womans constitutional right to an abortion. We dont think that unelected judges should make this decision, Ryan said. Instead, people through their elected representatives in reaching a consensus in society through the democratic process should make this determination. The tone and substance of Ryans words are similar to the views of Justice Antonin Scalia, who recently reiterated his belief that the Constitution offers no protection for the rights of women who seek an abortion. Biden then specifically invoked Roe v. Wade and the threat he believes Romneys election would pose to that landmark ruling. The next president will get one or two Supreme Court nominees. Thats how close Roe v. Wade is, Biden said. He went on to predict that Romney, if elected, would appoint justices like Scalia who would vote to outlaw abortion. Ryan asked whether Obama imposed a litmus test on his Supreme Court choices, by which he meant whether Obama had required Justices Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor to offer assurances of their commitments to abortion rights

Candidates consumed by debate preparations

By JULIE PACE and STEVE PEOPLES The Associated Press

WILLIAMSBURG, Va. With the White House race barreling toward the finish, President Barack Obama and Republican challenger Mitt Romney were staying out of the spotlight Monday, underscoring the intense focus each campaign is placing on the second presidential debate. Obamas campaign, seeking to rebound from a dismal first debate, promised a more energetic president would take the stage Tuesday at Hofstra University in Hempstead, N.Y. Romneys team aimed to build on a commanding opening debate that gave the Republican new life in a White House race that had once appeared to be slipping away from him. When the two candidates step back into the public eye at the debate, there will be exactly three weeks left until Election Day. But early voting is already underway in dozens of states, including some battlegrounds, giving the candidates little time to recover from any slipups. Much of the pressure in the coming debate will be on Obama, who aides acknowledge showed up at the first face-off with less practice and far less energy than they had wanted. The president and a team of advisers are seeking to regain focus with an intense, three-day debate camp at a golf resort in Williamsburg, Va. It is going great, Obama said of his preparations Sunday, while taking a brief break to greet volunteers at a nearby campaign office. Romney, who has made no secret of the huge priority his campaign puts on the debates, was practicing Monday near his home in Massachusetts.

Why it matters: Auto bailout

The Associated Press The issue: The government bailout of General Motors and Chrysler is one of the most polarizing issues of the presidential campaign. Many Americans wonder why $62 billion in tax dollars went to keeping the two automakers afloat in 2008 and 2009. Theres little doubt the bailout saved the automakers and huge numbers of jobs. But theres also little chance the government will get all its money back. Taxpayers are out about $1 billion on the Chrysler bailout. GM stock is selling for less than half the price needed for the government to recover all of its $50 billion investment. Where they stand: President Barack Obama often boasts about the bailouts success, saying the decision saved about 1 million jobs at automakers, parts companies and other businesses tied to the industry. That estimate is backed by a 2010 study by the Center for Automotive Research, an industry think tank. Obama doesnt want to sell the governments remaining 500 million GM shares at a loss, but says hes not interested in being a long-term investor or running the company. Republican Mitt Romney has argued that GM and Chrysler should have been sent into bankruptcy protection without government money to keep the companies running. Instead, he said private loans should have paid for the bankruptcies. But because of the financial crisis and because both companies were bleeding cash, there was no private capital available at the time. Romney advocated government-guaranteed private loans for both companies after bankruptcy and also said the government should back their warranties. He would responsibly sell the GM shares but has given no time frame. Why it matters: GM and Chrysler are major employers, with most of their operations in the Midwest, including Ohio, a pivotal presidential state. Without the bailout, its likely the companies would have been forced into liquidation. Their factories, office buildings and patents would have been sold at auction and their workers would have lost their jobs. Now, three years after the bailout, both companies are profitable and selling more cars. GM has made almost $14 billion since leaving bankruptcy protection in July 2009. Chrysler has made $440 million since exiting bankruptcy a month before GM. But the automaker is still a private

before he nominated them to the high court. Biden said there was no such test. We picked people who had an open mind, did not come with an agenda, he said. The discussion ended there. Conservative and liberal interest groups have been pressing the candidates to talk more about the court with the argument that just one retirement could move the court decidedly left or right. We might wind up with the first true conservative majority since the 1930s, said Curt Levey of the conservative Committee for Justice. Or, the most liberal court since the (Earl) Warren era in the 1950s and 1960s. Nan Aron, president of the liberal Alliance for Justice, said the next appointment could change the course of the court and the nation, not just for four years but for 40. Still, the last time the Supreme Court was a real campaign issue was Richard Nixons law-and-order campaign in 1968. In that year of antiwar protests and political assassinations, Nixon criticized the Supreme Court, then led by Chief Justice Earl Warren, for rulings in favor of criminal suspects that effectively shielded hundreds of criminals from punishment.

Moderately confused

WASHINGTON After two debates, one presidential and one vice presidential, we can fairly conclude that Obama and Biden are happy warriors. They just smile and smile and smile. Whereas President Obamas smile during his debate with Mitt Romney seemed to be an afterthought, proffered as recompense to relieve the strain of his lackluster performance, Vice President Bidens was an Uzi. From the time he sat down next to Paul Ryan, he was locked and loaded with the pearliest chompers since Matt Dillon donned horse veneers to impress Cameron Theres Something About Mary Diaz. No matter what Ryan said (except when he told a personal story), Biden smiled. Like the Cheshire cat, he smiled. Like an Ultra Brite model, he smiled. Like someone trying to seem friendly, bemused, stunned to hear such malarkey from his debate opponent, fillin-the-blank, he smiled. But Bidens was no friendly smile. It looked like one, otherwise known as acting, but it was no more sincere than Bidens repeated references to Ryan as my friend. It was a tactical weapon intended to intimidate and outpsych his wonky opponent. As we all learn, usually painfully, a smile isnt always a smile. The difference between a smile and a grimace, after all, is a matter of a few

Smile when you say that

company, and it did not report numbers for the second half of 2009. Both companies also are hiring when many employers arent. GM has added roughly 2,000 U.S. workers since leaving bankruptcy and now employs 79,000 in the U.S. Chrysler has added almost 12,000 workers and now has about 44,000 in the U.S. Since the bailout started in early 2008, under President George W. Bush, the number of jobs in U.S. auto and parts manufacturing has grown by 156,000 to 780,700, according to government statistics. Its progress for an industry whose workforce is still far below its peak of more than 1.3 million jobs in 2000. Heres the bottom line on federal money: In exchange for a $12.5 billion bailout of Chrysler and its financial arm, the government got $7.1 billion in debt and 9.9 percent equity stake in Chrysler. Chrysler has repaid the loans and parent company Fiat bought the government stock. The government got back $11.2 billion, but wont get any more. At GM, the government is $27 billion in the hole on a $49.5 billion bailout. Although taxpayers own 26.5 percent of GM stock, the shares are trading for less than half the $53 price needed for the government to recoup all its money.

KATHLEEN PARKER tling away, but one obvious

muscles. Or as Shakespeare had Hamlet say: That one may smile, and smile, and be a villain. No, Im not calling Biden a villain, but when someone employs a smile with purpose, as he obviously did, theres good cause to examine the behavior more closely. What did he intend? What impression was he hoping to make? What was the effect on his audience? Post-debate commentary has included the likelihood that Democrats, deflated since Sub-Obamas encounter with Uber-Romney, saw Biden as a mirthful wonk-slayer. A Goliath in years and stature, he slew young David from Accounting. Which is, of course, not the way the story is supposed to go. Non-Democrats, including Republicans and independents, likely saw Biden as dismissive, rude and unnecessarily condescending. A man confident of his facts doesnt have to deflect a weak argument with a sneer or a smile. A senior statesman can afford to be gracious, especially if he believes the facts are on his side. But were they? Fact-

and potentially harmful error was the vice presidents incorrect assertion that our murdered ambassador and staff in Benghazi hadnt asked for and been denied additional security. In congressional testimony the day before, State Department officials admitted exactly that. Biden did render a satisfying gotcha of his own when he reminded Ryan that the Wisconsin congressman had written the Obama administration two letters requesting stimulus funds. Ouch. Ryan, persistently respectful, managed to maintain as close to a poker face as one can under the circumstances. Bidens smile, though it may be the most remembered part of the debate, probably didnt work as intended. Democrats may have overlooked the inauthenticity of the smile, not to mention Bidens repeated interruptions, because he was projecting the aggression they were feeling. As their agent, he was compensating for the presidents perceived weakness. The anger they feel is really toward Obama, of course; Ryan was merely his stand-in. Research on smiles is extensive and fascinating. Sincere smiles, which have a name the Duchenne smile are related to health and longevity, among other things. But studies show that different kinds of smiles convey different mes-

sages. Our deep brains instinctively decipher smiles and generally know what they mean. A sincere smile conveys confidence, humor and contagious well-being. An insincere smile is hostile and creepy. When Biden and Obama project a Duchenne smile, it is indeed a sunny day. They both are blessed with dazzlers and both obviously have recognized the advantage this gives them in politics. Obamas legendary likability most likely is linked to his billion-buck grin. To receive a warm smile is its own reward. To be on the receiving end of an insincere smile, or one that doesnt fit the message being delivered, is psychological trickery. Think of Nurse Ratched in One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest. She smiled even as she delivered psyche-crushing information. The disconnect between what her victims were seeing and what they were hearing and feeling was torturous. Similarly, the teacher who smiles and says Johnny made a bad choice is confusing and potentially enraging. Finally, a politician who smiles while trying to take you down may be a pro, but hes no friend. Who do you trust? Biden asked Americans as he looked directly into the camera. Well, now, funny you should ask.

Ottoville CLC holds successful fundraisers

Fourteen members and five guests attended the October meeting of CLC Council 30 in the parish center at Ottoville. Speaker for the evening, Beth Huffman, gave a very inspirational talk and told of how she became interested in people with cystic fibrosis (CF) and how the proceeds of the books she has written go to the CF foundation. A check was presented to her a check for that cause. Our business meeting followed. Jean Hilvers gave the secretarys report and Annette Hilvers gave the treasurers report. Discussed was held about recent successful fund raisers: the casino trip in August and the dinner prepared and served for Fr. Kent Kaufmans group from Toledo. Special thanks was extended to all who helped for both activities: the help on the bus trip and those who worked in the kitchen and helped serve the dinner for the Toledo group and those who baked the cakes for dessert. The council served 52 people from the bus and 10 guests and appreciates the wonderful cooperation from the members. The council donated money to the Church of Good Shepherd in Compton, Ky., for the work the nuns do there for the needy in the Appalachia region. Other donation went to the parish for the annual festival and to the St. Marys cemetery fund in remembrance of Fr. Don Mueller. The group will purchase some needed items for the parish kitchen, which will benefit all using it. A special thanks to Dee Schlagbaum for the work she does there and for helping the council.

NorthStar not kind to Kayser, Recker and rest of field

SPORTS

By JIM METCALFE

SUNBURY The PGA always likes to have the toughest courses it can for its hallowed US Open, challenging the best of te best for the United States Championship and one of the four majors on the professional tour. The OHSAA may not have as many options as the PGA and it may not be the professionals they are challenging but it chose a good one for the Division III Boys State Golf Meet Friday and Saturday: the 5-year-old NorthStar Golf Resort in Sunbury. The nearly 7,000-yard, par72 course took its toll on the best golfers the Division III ranks have for 2012. Two Tri-County individuals: St. Johns senior Nick Kayser and Kalida senior Neil Recker; battled not only the length and intricacies of the course but a steady and tricky wind. Kayser finished seventh as an individual (out of 12) with a 2-day total of 162 (81 each day) 18 strikes behind the champion, Andrew Bieber of Gates Mills Gilmour Academy while managing 20th place when all the golfers were thrown in. Kayser felt frustrated throughout his two days of competition. It just never felt right in any part of my game; I felt a little bit off the whole time. It was tough to basically not pick up a club from districts last Saturday to the practice round Thursday (due to an illness this week), he began. Im not making an excuse but it didnt help make me feel comfortable. That stuff happens in the game of golf; you are not always going to be able to play your best or feel your best to play and you have to fight through it. Not only was he not feeling chipper but the course added to his ills. I couldnt get any breaks to go my way. You really also have to be on your game to play well at this course, he continued.

Lancers, Knights butt heads at NWC cross country

16:21. Grove star runner Jake Graham placed first in 15:55. Joel has got a good work ethic and a really good attitude. He takes a really good approach, not only to the race but to the preparation it takes to run well, Bagley said of Genter. Hes been doing a great job of running even splits. I think he even ran a negativesplit last mile today which is really hard to do when you are running at the level he is, . Also earning first-team AllNWC honors with a fourthplace finish was Lincolnview sophomore Bayley Tow, who finished in a time of 16:31. Hes matured a great deal, said Langdon of Tow. He obviously has a lot of talent but his year I think hes learning how to race. He really focused a lot on running smart, using strategy and reacting to some of the things around him. Hid did that. I thought he put himself in a really good position the last mile. Crestview sophomore Mycah Grandstaff just missed first-place all-conference honors, placing sixth in 16:34. Rounding out the Knight top five were, senior Shelby Ripley (13th, 17:29), junior Bryce Richardson (18th, 17:40) and junior Tanner Skelton (22nd, 18:02). You go right down the line: Mycah ran well and Shelby - they both ran PRs. Bryce Richardson had a great race for us, Tanner Skelton had a PR. A lot of guys ran well, so that was nice to see, Bagley said. Finishing behind Tow for the Lancers were, senior Jeff Jacomet (11th, 17:13), junior Ben Bilimek (12th, 17:13), sophomore Alex Rodriguez (15th, 17:31) and freshman Skylar Whitaker (23rd, 18:03). Freshman Trevor Neate just missed the top five, with a 26th-place finish in 18:09. Whitaker and Neate were the top two finishing freshmen. Our top-5 average was 17:18; theres nothing more we could have done. I was really happy with the way the kids responded going into tournament next week, Langdon explained. The Lady Knights placed their top-5 runner in the top 25 of the race on their way to a third-place finish with 69 points. Crestview just missed Bluffton, who took second with 67. Spencerville claimed first with 25 points. We were actually just two points out of second, (two points) away from Bluffton. Thats the way cross country is, a place here or there can make a big difference. I was pleased with the way the girls ran and the way they approached the race, Bagley said. Senior Courtney Perrott took fifth for Crestview, in 20:45, to earn a spot of the NWCs first-team: That was nice for Courtney. That actually tied her PR; thats the best shes run this year. Also scoring for Crestview were junior Jalelle May (16th, 22:22), sophomore Hali Finfrock (18th, 22:31), senior Elizabeth Saylor (24th, 23:08) and junior Chelsea Hancock (25th, 23:09). The Lady Lancers had only four runners finish and did not score as a team. They were led by a 19th-place finish by freshman Anna Gorman in 22:39. Anna had an OK race for us. Its not one of her favorite courses; sometimes that gets in your head. I did notice she was the top-placing freshman in the conference. I told her that when

St. Johns senior Nick Kayser follows through on his birdie putt on 14 Saturday in the second round at the OHSAA Division III State Boys Golf Championship. He finished with an 81 for a 2-day total of 162. tough for everyone and I had the greens as fast as they were a lot of trouble with consis- today they were like glass; Id guess between 10-11 on tency. You have to hit straight on the Stent scale of difficulty, this course because the fair- which is pretty tough for pros, ways are narrow; if youre off, let alone high-schoolers he youre in trouble. The greens couldnt sink enough putts. were definitely faster that any That was the difference today Ive ever played on; the speed between him the ones ahead was tough to deal with and of him. Klausing hopes that in time, they were hard to read consistently. It was just tough for me Kayser will be able to realize to string a lot of good holes how well he did against the together but a lot of people best of the best in Division III and against a very difficult struggled these two days. Still, its definitely a good course. He made it here, which experience to be here at state; it is what I worked for for a is something to be proud of, long time. I just wish I could Klausing added. Considering the conditions: the toughhave done better for myself. His coach at St. Johns, ness of the course, the winds, John Klausing, was a little everything; he did very well. He did better than a lot of good more upbeat than his charge. It looked to me like he did golfers throughout the state but everything solidly from tee to he set such high hopes for green; it was his putting that himself before and throughout let him down. That has been the season he wanted to the story of his whole sea- win this thing I know hes son, Klausing reflected. He disappointed. Recker struggled to his 193 is consistent in most of his game but the putting is where (90-103) to end up last as an he sometimes struggled. With individual and 70th overall.

I wasnt nervous at all coming into Friday. I thought I had a good read on it after the practice round Thursday but theres a difference when theres pressure on, he said. I just struggled managing the course both days; I might have a couple of good holes but then would have a couple of bad holes. I had a 13 today (No. 3) and a 10 (7) and those are hard to make up for. I tried hard but it just seemed the harder I tried, the worse it got; that was true especially today because I knew I had to really do well to move up. Recker was quite philosophical in his feelings after the match. I had so much support today. It meant a lot that so many people came down here to watch the golf, he added. I came in confident today that I was going to do well but it just wasnt happening. Still, this is a great experience. I made it here, so Im not really disappointed. It would have been nice to finish higher but I did what I could. His coach, long-time Kalida mentor Ken Schnipke who has sent seven teams and one other individual to state in his career was also reflective. He had a great year, Schnipke said. He shot an 82 at the PCL with a bad back but healed up and medalled at District with a 74. He had a great year to get here. The course is what everyone was talking about. The course got the best of a lot of players. Its long and with the wind, it makes things much tougher, he added. A lot of people talked about the greens; the kids that play in national tournaments are used to these kinds of greens while the vast majority arent. Thats a big advantage. At the same time, the fairways are narrow and reward a straight hitter; if you are off, you get into a lot of trouble and its hard to scramble out of that. You really have to be smart with your decision-making; when you have that bad shot, you have to be more willing to go for a bogey than try to go for a birdie.

The efforts that both St. Johns and Lincolnview showed in Saturdays first round of the Division III girls sectional at Elida are evident in this one play: St. Johns goalkeeper Samantha Wehri going low to gather in a shot as St. Johns defender Erin Williams who disrupted the try of Lincolnviews Kaylee Thatcher and Thatcher go tumbling. The Jays won a 2-1 shootout victory.

Jays survive in PK shootout; Wildcats fall to Mustangs

COLUMBUS GROVE The Crestview and Lincolnview boys cross country teams have been battling it out all season, each getting the better of the other at several points in the season. Saturday, at the Northwest Conference Cross Country Championships at Columbus Grove, the Knights came out on top, edging Lincolnview by three points, 58-61, securing second place behind Groves 30. We had like 13 out of our 19 guys who ran a PR - we just had a number of great performances, explained Crestview coach Jeff Bagley. It was a day where Columbus Grove does a good job of running the meet, theyve got a nice course, we should be at our best fitness of the year - and it was nice to see people take advantage of that and run well. Lancer coach Matt Langdon credited the Knights with running a strong race: Give a lot of credit to Crestview; they were second and they beat us by three points. It wasnt that we didnt run well. They just, I thought, had their best race of the season. Despite just missing second place to a county rival, Langdon was happy with the way his team ran: Our boys ran well. I think we had a very large majority of our top kids, and our whole team, run PRs. It was a fast course and a perfect day but we took advantage of those conditions and the course and ran really well. Leading the local runners was Crestview senior Joel Genter, who placed second in

we got back to the school, so hopefully that encourages her, Langdon said. Senior Taylor Miller was just behind Gorman, with a 21st-place finish in 22:46. She has had a very solid senior year. Shes been a really strong leader, shes provided some consistency here at the end (of the season) and some toughness, explained Langdon of Miller. Sophomores Mikinzie Dull (55th, 27:16) and Maddie Enyart (60th, 27:48) rounded out the field of Lady Lancers. All four teams will be in action next Saturday as they travel to Liberty Center for the district race. Liberty Center is a new site for the race, which both teams will have to prepare for. Its going to be tough, added Langdon. Weve got a really tough district. Were going some place weve never raced before - Liberty Center. At this point of the season you just focus on yourself. Were starting to rest now and the kids have fresh legs, were backing off. Theyre excited. Theres nothing more I can do at this point. They bought in all season. Weve just got to go out, focus on us the best we ca, and hopefully the results are favorable on us. Bagley added his team has to be ready to go Saturday: Well do some things this week. Youre at the time of the year where youve trying to fine-tune some things and make sure not only that youre fresh but youre trying to race with a lot of confidence. (The course) is going to be brand new to a lot of people. Its going to be exciting to see a different place to compete; that should be fun.

OTTAWA There were mixed emotions around the Van Wert cross country camp Saturday morning at Memorial Park in Ottawa. On one side the Lady

Cougars were happy as they claimed a Western Buckeye League championship, while the boys were disappointed as they came up short in repeating as league champions at the WBL championships. The Lady Cougars won the 2012 WBL championship finishing with 65 points to

beat second-place Defiance by 21 points as the Bulldogs finished with 86 points. This is the first WBL title for the Van Wert girls since the 2009 season. On the boys side, Defiance won the championship finishing with 32 points, while the Cougars were second with 43

points. We knew coming in we were one of the better teams but we tried to give it away with some equipment malfunctions, Van Wert coach Brendon Moody said of his girls win. Schelissa Williams lost her shoe and we were See WBL, page 7A

ELIDA St. Johns and Lincolnview went at it Saturday night in a match that no one wanted to see end and it took a penalty kick from Lady Blue Jay Michelle Hitchcock to decide a 2-1 triumph in the nightcap of the Division III girls soccer sectional at Elidas Soccer Complex. Earlier, Allen East rallied to oust Jefferson 3-1 to open the sectional. In the nightcap, the teams went at it for 120 minutes with a 1-1 deadlock before the penalty-kick shootout to decide matters. It came down to Hitchcock getting what may be the biggest goal of her career, a kick which went over the fingertips of sophomore Lancer goalkeeper Julia Thatcher to seal the deal and advance to play Coldwater 7 p.m. Thursday. We had a rough year. We had so many new girls in our program and we worked all year to try and put something together in the tournament, St. Johns coach John Munoz recalled. The Lancers were having an unbelievable year, so we came into the game knowing we would have to give it our all to win the match. We had a lot of good shots and our girls never gave up. A lot of our girls played 120 minutes and Im very proud of their hard work. It was a great match, They were a great team; we just couldnt capitalize on our opportunities, Lincolnview coach Katrina Smith, the NWC girls soccer Coach of the Year, observed. We had some chances but the wet field didnt help. The second half, we regrouped and played our game and the Jays just beat us on that goal. Tied at 1 at the end of regulation, the match went into the first of two overtime periods. The Lancers got the ball to start but neither team could muster any offense. Only the Blue Jays (4-12-1) got a shot-on-goal and each team got a corner kick in the first overtime. The second overtime saw St. Johns get the ball to start but again neither team could get anything going; the defenses and goalkeeping for both teams (Thatcher and St. Johns sophomore Samantha Wehri) was excellent. Each team got one shot-on-goal in the second overtime as the shootout beckoned. The Blue Jays got the ball to start the first half and it was a battle back and forth between both teams. For much of the first half, both teams tried to get an advantage over the other but neither was successful. With the score tied at zero and the first half looking like it was going to be scoreless, Lancer senior forward Kaylee Thatcher beat Wehri to the left post to give Lincolnview a 1-0 lead with 1:54 showing The Lancers (9-8) had four shots on-goal and two corner kicks; the Blue Jays had two shots on-goal and only one corner kick in the first half. Lincolnview got the ball to start the second half and both teams continued their back-and-forth struggle to take control of the match. With the clock winding down on the Blue Jays season, junior Sam Bonifas beat Lancer Julia Thatcher with

10:26 left on the clock to tie the match at one. Lincolnview defender Hannah McCleery was given a yellow card with 8:32 left to play and St. Johns was given the chance to win the match in regulation. The Lancer defenders and J. Thatcher withheld the Blue Jay attack, ending regulation at 1-1. The Blue Jays had five shots on-goal in regulation and five corner kicks; the Lancers got seven shots ongoal and three corner kicks. The Blue Jays worked all season for that final moment, explained Munoz: We have been prepared for something like this. Being down, the girls know that they still have a chance. The girls were mentally prepared and we didnt want to leave it on the field, so if that meant going to PKs, we were ready. We just didnt want to go home knowing that we could have done more. Smith concurred. If we were going to lose, I didnt want to lose by a lot. I wanted it to go down to PKs and I wanted the other team to try and take the victory from us, she added. In the first matchup, Jefferson (5-10-2) quickly took control of the ball and the match. With 36:26 left in the first half, junior Brooke Hesseling struck for the first goal of the evening when she beat Mustang goalkeeper Kyra Plaugher to make it 1-0, Wildcats. It took Allen East (7-9-1) almost the rest of the first half to get the equalizer. With 12:28 left, Savannah Silone crossed the ball from behind the right side of the net to the middle of the goal, where Cheyenne Bierly got off a beautiful header to beat Wildcat senior keeper Paige Miller to bring the match to a 1-1 tie. For most of the first half, Allen East controlled the ball and the stats proved it: four corner kicks and five shots on-goal compared to just two shots on-goal and no corner kicks for Jefferson. The second half started with Delphos getting the ball but Allen East quickly took control. With 25:05 left in the second half, Silone got a goal of her own when she beat Miller to the right post to give the Mustangs a 2-1 lead. With 24:29 remaining, Allen Easts Erica Fox left the game with an injury and was not able to return. Delphos got a couple of last chances at a goal when freshman Logan Hamilton got two tries,but Plaugher stopped both attempts. The Mustangs got a final goal with 39 seconds left when Abby Joyner beat Miller to the left post to give Allen East a 2-goal advantage and wipe out any hope for the Wildcats. The Mustangs again controlled the ball and the stats for the whole match: nine shots on-goal and seven corner kicks, while the Wildcats got only five shots on-goal and no corner kicks. I thought we played pretty well and Allen East played pretty hard. I felt we got worn down towards the end but we continued to fight, Jefferson first-year coach Josiah Stober said. Im very proud of my girls; they have done a lot this year. Having only 14 girls,

Sanchez, Tigers beat Yanks for 2-0 lead in ALCS

By HOWIE RUMBERG The Associated Press
NEW YORK Anibal Sanchez gave a performance against New York that the Detroit Tigers have come to expect from Justin Verlander. The Tigers ace is next in line for a chance to toy with the Yankees suddenly dreadful offense. Sanchez shut down a Yankees lineup minus the injured Derek Jeter, Detroit scored twice after a missed call by an ump and won without any extra-inning drama, beating New York 3-0 Sunday for a commanding 2-0 lead in the American League championship series. Game 3 in the best-of-7 series is Tuesday night in Detroit, with Verlander, the reigning AL MVP, starting for the Tigers against Phil Hughes. Hitting .192 in the ALCS after putting up a paltry .216 average against Baltimore in the division series, the Yankees have a real challenge ahead. New York did little against Sanchez. He struck out seven, walked three and was never in any real trouble. In the first inning when the Yankees put runners on first and second, he took care of it by reaching around his back to snare a grounder for the final out. He was terrific, Detroit manager Jim Leyland said. This is a tough place to pitch with a tough lineup and a short porch. And a whole bunch of left-handed hitters; it is not easy. That was quite a feat. New York starter Hiroki Kuroda pitched perfect ball into the sixth inning to keep pace with Sanchez. But Robinson Cano and the slumping Yankees hitters were no match for the 28-year-old right-hander a day after their captain broke his ankle in the 12th inning of a 6-4 loss. I try to think backwards, Sanchez said. If the count calls for a fastball, I throw a different pitch. If the count calls for a different pitch, I throw a fastball. I try to mix my speeds. Making his second postseason start, Sanchez threw 3-hit ball deep into the game to make Leylands job easier. Closer Jose Valverde gave up four runs in the ninth Saturday and, only hours later, Leyland said the righty wouldnt close Game 2. Delmon Young gave Sanchez his first run of support in the playoffs with a fielders choice in the seventh. The Tigers then scored twice in the eighth after second-base umpire Jeff Nelson missed a call on a 2-out tag. Yankees manager Joe Girardi argued and was ejected on his 48th birthday. The Tigers led 1-0 in the eighth and had Omar Infante on first with two outs. Austin Jackson singled and when Infante took a wide turn at second, rightfielder Nick Swisher threw behind him. Cano made a swipe tag as Infante dove head-first back to second. Cano missed Infantes arm but caught his body, replays clearly showed. But Nelson called Infante safe. Boone Logan replaced Kuroda and gave up an RBI single to pinch-hitter Avisail Garcia to make it 2-0. Its frustrating. I dont have a problem with Jeffs effort; I dont because he hustled to get to the play. But in this day and age when we have instant replay available to us, its got to change, Girardi said. These guys are under tremendous amounts of pressure. It is a tough call for him because the tag is underneath and its hard for him to see. And it takes more time to argue and get upset than you get the call right. Too much is at stake. Girardi returned to lift Logan for Joba Chamberlain and then he remained on the field to resume the argument. He was tossed by Nelson for his first postseason ejection. Miguel Cabrera added a run-scoring single after the ejection. Cano had no luck at the plate, either. The All-Stars slump extended to a record 26 hitless at-bats in a single postseason, breaking the mark of

The BCS Average is calculated by averaging the percent totals of the Harris Interactive, USA Today Coaches and Computer polls. Team percentages are derived by dividing a teams actual voting points by a maximum 2,875 possible points in the Harris Interactive Poll and 1,475 possible points in the USA Today Coaches Poll. Six computer rankings are used to determine the overall computer component. The highest and lowest ranking for each team is dropped and the remaining four are added and divided to produce a Computer Rankings Percentage. The six computer ranking providers are Anderson & Hester, Richard Billingsley, Colley Matrix, Kenneth Massey, Jeff Sagarin and Peter Wolfe. Each computer ranking accounts for schedule strength in its formula.

Cardinals 6, Giants 4 SAN FRANCISCO The St. Louis Cardinals unheralded bullpen is making quite a name for itself in October right along with proven postseason stars Carlos Beltran and David Freese. A group that takes pride in being ready for anything had six relievers combine to deliver 5 1/3 scoreless innings of relief to lead the reigning World Series champions to a 6-4 victory over the San Francisco Giants in Game 1 of the NL championship series Sunday night. We feel like were an asset. We dont get talked about much, and I guess thats a good thing, said right-hander Mitchell Boggs, who pitched the eighth. We dont have big name guys. Tonight was a good night for us. Beltran and Freese did their part with 2-run homers as the Cardinals built an early 6-0 cushion and held on. Starter Lance Lynn was done after 3 2/3 innings. Edward Mujica, the fifth St. Louis pitcher, struck out the side in order in the seventh for the win, then Jason Motte finished for his second save of the postseason. Game 2 in the best-of-7 series is tonight. Chris Carpenter pitches for the Cardinals against Ryan Vogelsong. This is the first time the previous two World Series winners are facing off in the postseason since the 1958 World Series between the Braves and Yankees. Beltrans fourth-inning drive into the seats in left-center chased San Francisco starter Madison Bumgarner, who has been a far cry from the impressive pitcher he was during the 2010 World Series run. It was Beltrans 14th career postseason home run and third this October. Beltran spent the second half of the 2011 season with San Francisco after a trade from the Mets but the Giants missed the playoffs last fall a year after the capturing an improbable championship the previous season. The orange towel-waving sellout crowd of 42,534 booed him at every opportunity during pregame introductions and each time he stepped into the batters box. Giants center fielder Angel Pagan said. Daniel Descalso, who hit a tying, 2-out single in Fridays 9-7 win, added two more hits. He hit a one-out double in the fourth, then rookie Pete Kozma drove him home with a double of his own. St. Louis 18-game winner Lynn didnt allow a hit until Marco Scutaros single to left leading off the fourth. Hunter Pence singled two outs later and Brandon Belt drove him home with a single. Gregor Blanco followed with a 2-run triple, then Brandon Crawford hit an RBI double. Pinchhitter Aubrey Huff a 2010 postseason star now in a diminished role drew a walk. And, just like that, Lynn was done. Bumgarner and Lynn each lasted only 3 2/3 innings. That made for a long night in both pens. Beltran and Freese each got Bumgarner with two strikes. The pressure is now on for the Giants not to fall behind 2-0 at home again. They lost the first two games of their division series here to the Reds last weekend before winning three in a row at Cincinnati. They went 48-33 at AT&T Park this season. Bumgarner, a 16-game winner for the NL West champs, lost Game 2 of the division series at home to the Reds exactly a week earlier. He pitched a 1-2-3 first on Sunday but ran into trouble in the second when Molina singled on an 0-2 pitch with one out. Freese then drove a 3-2 pitch over the wall in left-center to give the Cardinals a 2-0 lead. Bumgarner needed 30 pitches to get through the second and now has an 11.25 ERA in his two postseason starts this year. Lynn returned to the rotation for the NLCS and his first career postseason start after making four relief appearances in the division series. Matheny needed another starter after left-hander Jaime Garcia injured his left shoulder in Game 2 against the Nationals.

24 set by Baltimores Bobby Bonilla in 1996, STATS LLC reported. There were many empty seats near the foul poles and a subdued crowd spent much of the day venting its frustration, booing the punchless Yankees. The 47,082 in attendance reserved its biggest cheers early for Jeter, who broke his ankle in the last inning of the Game 1 loss. Jhonny Peralta singled in the sixth for the Tigers first baserunner against Kuroda, who was pitching on short rest for the first time in his big-league career. Delmon Young then gave Detroit the lead with a forceout grounder in the seventh, a night after putting the Tigers ahead in the 12th inning with a double. When Ichiro Suzuki reached on Sanchezs fielding error to open the sixth and advanced to third with two outs, Peralta was there to bail out his pitcher with another nifty play, bare-handing a slow grounder for the third out. Former Yankees reliever Phil Coke pitched two innings for the save.

Jefferson junior Brooke Hesseling moves upfield against an Allen East player in Saturdays first first-round sectional girls soccer clash at Elida. She gave the Wildcats an early lead but they couldnt add to her score as the Mustangs rallied for a 3-1 triumph.

Jays

(Continued from Page 6A) they have fought through a lot this year and Im just very proud of them. We were a little sloppy; it was a little wet. We had a couple of missed touches on our behalf but we passed the ball well and scored when we needed to, Allen East coach Lamar Houston said.

WBL

We struggled a little more than the first time we played Jefferson (Oct. 11); that is a credit to them. Weve got a lot of seniors weve got nine seniors on this team so its good that they get to play another game here on Thursday. That would be 5 p.m. Versus Lima Central Catholic.
tough for the guys to swallow. They have been running well all year and knew they had a shot to beat Defiance. Defiance put seven in top of our first five and we knew to beat them we had to do that to them. Senior Jared Fleming led the Cougars as he finished second in 15:57. Defiance senior Abel Flores won the race in 15:42. Flores and Fleming matched stride for stride the first mile before Lopez separated from the pack in the second mile. Senior Kase Schalois finished fourth in 16:18, while sophomore Connor Holiday was eighth in 16:32, sophomore Connor Shaffer was 12th in 17:04 and freshman Cade Fleming was 17th in 17:10. Sophomore Jordan Butler was 18th in 17:29 and sophomore Nick Keber was 19th in 17:30. Abel ran a great race today, Moody added. They were together the first mile, then somewhere in that second mile Abel made a move and Jared didnt cover. The level at which Abel and Jared are running, its more of a tactical race and a strategic race to make sure you are in it. Thats what happened all the way through the lineup. The Defiance runners made a move and we didnt cover. Were at that position if you are running for time and not position we are in trouble. The Elida girls had two runners in the top 20 as freshman Aly Turrentine finished 11th in 21:03 and freshman Sarah Suever was 15th in 21:25. The two Bulldog runners earned WBL honors as they finished in the top 22 runners at the meet. Freshman Tori Bowen finished 35th in the meet in 22:30. The Elida boys were led by sophomore Glenn McVey with an 80th-place finish in 20:13. Freshman Eric Anthony was 85th in 20:27 and freshman Josh Bull was 86th in 20:29.

able to get her shoe back in the middle of the race and she put it back on. Its one of those things where we are going to have to run much better next week at districts to move on. Junior Andi Foster led the Lady Cougars as she won the girls race in a time of 19:49 beating Defiance sophomore Olivia Fett to the finish line by four seconds. Cougar freshman Chloee Gamble finished third in 20:04, while Allish Danylchuck was 18th in 21:34.7 and Williams was 19th in 21:34.8. Freshman Megan Barnhart was 24th in 21:59 and senior Kelsey Wagner was 25th in 22:01. We knew coming in that Andi and Chloee, if they ran well, could go 1-2, Moody said. Olivia Fett ran very well and finished second today. The plan was for Andi to run in the front pack the first mile and she did. I told her I didnt want her leading until after the first mile, then she took over and once she did the race was hers. She ran with a lot of confidence. She was second as a freshman and second as a sophomore; she was the bridesmaid, today she is the bride. Chloee coming out this season is a blessing running cross country and running in the low 20s and running well. Going into the boys race, the Cougars knew they had to stay within reach of the Defiance runners and in some cases have more than one runner finish in front of a Bulldog runner. That didnt happen as the Bulldogs were able to finish in front of the Cougars top three and had their first seven runners finish before Van Werts top five. I think it could have been closer. We have run better, Moody said. We didnt run bad but when you run (against) Defiance, you have to be on your A game or you will come in second. Thats

Win puts Clint Bowyer back in championship hunt

By JENNA FRYER The Associated Press CONCORD, N.C. One of these days, Clint Bowyer might have enough gas in his tank to do a celebratory burnout. Until then, hes just fine walking to Victory Lane. Bowyer and crew chief Brian Pattie stretched a final tank of fuel to the finish for a win at Charlotte Motor Speedway that pushed the Michael Waltrip Racing team back into the championship picture. It was its third win of the season and Bowyer has run out of gas after taking the checkered flag all three times. Its fun to walk to Victory Lane; thats the best walk you could ever have, he said after Saturday nights win. I think thats my new trademark. Ill walk home if it means Victory Lane. Bowyer didnt expect to be in this position at this time last year, when talks on a contract extension broke down with Richard Childress Racing. Neither did Pattie, who was stuck at home unable to work because he had been fired as Juan Pablo Montoyas crew chief but was still under contract to the race team. And team owner Waltrip, he wanted them both because theyd be an upgrade to his organization and allow him to expand to a third team. But he wasnt sure either would even consider joining MWR. Somehow, it all came together and clicked faster than anyone expected. The cars were fast, the chemistry was good and they were in Victory Lane for the first time in June on the road course at Sonoma. They did it again on the short track at Richmond to end the regular season. Saturday nights victory came on the 1.5-mile intermediate Charlotte track and marked that halfway point of the 10-race Chase. It pushed Bowyer up one spot in the Chase standings to fourth, just 28 points behind leader Brad Keselowski as the Sprint Cup Series shifts to Kansas Bowyers home track. It wont be easy for Bowyer to overcome this deficit and win the championship. Standing in front of him is Keselowski, a 2-time winner in the Chase so far, 5-time NASCAR champion Jimmie Johnson and Denny Hamlin, who nearly won the 2010 title but fumbled it away to Johnson in the finale. In 2009, when Pattie led Montoya into the Chase, the crew chief played a game of math to make a run at the title. He chased points and finishes and played it safe and while it worked for the best season in Montoyas NASCAR career, it wasnt enough to win the title. With Bowyer and with five races to go Pattie has a different strategy for catching Keselowski, Johnson and Hamlin. Were going for trophies, he added. Thats the only way youre going to beat (them). That mid-pack, fourth, fifth, sixth in points, were gapped

a little bit from the leaders, so you had to do something special to get back into it. This definitely helps. Maybe it will work for the first championship for driver, crew chief and owner. But if it doesnt, nobody at MWR should be disappointed. This was, after all, an organization that nearly folded midway through its 2007 inaugural season. A cheating scandal involving Waltrip at the season-opening Daytona 500 nearly destroyed his career. Facing bankruptcy and the loss of everything he had built, he was thrown a lifeline by Rob Kauffman, an investment fund manager and racing enthusiast who stepped in late in that season to pump cash into an organization nobody in their right mind should have partnered with. It literally saved MWR and Kauffman continued to answer the call at every level of Waltrips plan to grow the organization into one of NASCARs top teams.

Box Office

Taken 2 takes down Argo Trial to focus on Spears meltdown

By DAVID GERMAIN The Associated Press LOS ANGELES Liam Neesons Taken 2 has defended its box-office title with a narrow win over Ben Afflecks Argo. Sunday studio estimates put 20th Century Foxs action sequel Taken 2 at No. 1 with $22.5 million in its second weekend. Taken 2 raised its domestic total to $86.8 million. Afflecks Argo, an Iranian hostage thriller from Warner Bros., opened in second-place with $20.1 million. Ethan Hawkes Sinister, about a true-crime writer caught up in supernatural horror, debuted at No. 3 with $18.3 million. The movie was released by Lionsgates Summit Entertainment banner. Sonys Here Comes the Boom, with Kevin James as a teacher who becomes a mixed martial arts sensation, started weakly at No. 5 with $12 million. The weekends other new wide release, CBS Films crime comedy Seven Psychopaths, also opened to small crowds, taking in $4.3 million to finish at No. 9. The movies ensemble cast includes Colin Farrell, Sam Rockwell, Christopher Walken and Woody Harrelson. The follow-up to Taken, the hit that established dramatic star Neeson as an action hero, Taken 2 was dinged by critics who called it a replay of the original. The sequel has Neesons exCIA guy up against a gang of Albanian goons out for revenge for their kin that he killed in the first movie. It kind of proves that reviews do not matter, said Paul Dergarabedian, an analyst for box-office tracker Hollywood.com. Audiences just continue to eat this up. They just love Liam Neeson in this role. Argo may prove the opposite, using its great reviews and Academy Awards buzz to settle in for a long stay at the box office. Affleck directed and starred in the real-life story about a CIA operative who concocts a plan to rescue six Americans hiding in Tehran after the 1979 U.S. embassy takeover by disguising them as members of a fake movie crew. Revenues on the film ticked up a whopping 47 percent from opening day Friday to Saturday, a sign that audiences were talking it up exuberantly to friends. This is a really good indication of how quickly word of mouth can spread, said Dan Fellman, head of distribution at Warner Bros. The critical acclaim in this case is going to translate into commercial success. Argo played almost entirely to older crowds that do not necessarily rush out to see movies over opening weekend but often check out well-reviewed films in subsequent weeks. Lionsgate was happy to come in third with Sinister, especially given most peoples projections on the film were in the low teens at best, said David Spitz, head of distribution. Its always nice to come in and over-perform everybodys expectations. Hollywoods business continues to grow as it heads into the busy holiday season. Overall domestic revenues came in at $132 million, up 51 percent from the same weekend last year, when Real Steel led with $16.3 million.

of dollars from Spears and her family, claiming her mothers book lied about him drugging and isolating the pop superstar. He is also seeking a portion of the singers profits, claiming he was a key player in her 2007 album Blackout and had the right to serve as her manager for years. Instead, the singer spent much of that time recovering under a court-ordered conservatorship, with her father and fiance continuing to exert control over her personal life. It is highly unlikely the star will be a witness during the trial, although a judge has said she will consider a request by Lutfis attorney to call Spears as a witness mid-trial if necessary.

Jump from spaces edge provides collective moment

The Associated Press ROSWELL, N.M. Felix Baumgartner stood alone at the edge of space, poised in the open doorway of a capsule suspended above Earth and wondering if he would make it back alive. Twenty four miles below him, millions of people were right there with him, watching on the Internet and marveling at the wonder of the moment. A second later, he stepped off the capsule and barreled toward the New Mexico desert as a tiny white speck against a darklytinted sky. Millions watched him breathlessly as he shattered the sound barrier and then landed safely about nine minutes later, becoming the worlds first supersonic skydiver. When I was standing there on top of the world, you become so humble, you do not think about breaking records anymore, you do not think about gaining scientific data, Baumgartner said after the jump. The only thing you want is to come back alive. The tightly-orchestrated jump meant primarily to entertain became much more than that in the dizzying, breathtaking moment a collectively shared cross between Neil Armstrongs moon landing and Evel Knievels famed motorcycle jumps on ABCs Wide World of Sports. It was part scientific wonder, part daredevil reality show, with the live-streamed event instantly capturing the worlds attention on a sleepy Sunday at the same time seven NFL football games were being played. It proved, once again, the power of the Internet in a world where news travels as fast as Twitter. The event happened without a network broadcast in the United States, though organizers said more than 40 television stations in 50 countries including cables Discovery Channel in the U.S. carried the live feed. Instead, millions flocked online, drawing more than 8 million simultaneous views to a YouTube live stream at its peak, YouTube officials said. More than 130 digital outlets carried the live feed, organizers said. It was a last hurrah for what some have billed as a dying Space Age, as NASAs shuttle program ends and the ways humans explore space is dramatically changing. As the jump unfolded, the space shuttle Endeavor crept toward a Los Angeles museum, where it will become nothing more than an exhibit. Baumgartner, a 43-yearold Austrian, hit Mach 1.24, or 833.9 mph, according to preliminary data, and became the first person to reach supersonic speed without traveling in a jet or a spacecraft. The capsule he jumped from had reached an altitude of 128,100 feet above Earth, carried by a 55-story ultrathin helium balloon. Landing on his feet in the desert, the man known as Fearless Felix lifted his arms in victory to the cheers of jubilant friends and spectators who closely followed at a command center. Among them was his mother, Eva Baumgartner, who was overcome with emotion, crying. Sometimes we have to get really high to see how small we are, an exuberant Baumgartner told reporters outside mission control after the jump. About half of Baumgartners nine-minute descent was a free fall of 119,846 feet, according to Brian Utley, a jump observer from the FAI, an international group that works to determine and maintain the integrity of aviation records. During the first part of Baumgartners free fall, anxious onlookers at the command center held their breath as he appeared to spin uncontrollably. When I was spinning first 10, 20 seconds, I never thought I was going to lose my life but I was disappointed because Im going to lose my record. I put seven years of my life into this, he said. He added: In that situation, when you spin around, its like hell and you dont know if you can get out of that spin or not. Of course, it was terrifying. I was fighting all the way down because I knew that there must be a moment where I can handle it. Baumgartner said traveling faster than sound is hard to describe because you dont feel it. The pressurized suit prevented him from feeling the rushing air or even the loud noise he made when breaking the sound barrier. With no reference points, you dont know how fast you travel, he said. Coincidentally, Baumgartners accomplishment came on the 65th anniversary of the day that U.S. test pilot Chuck Yeager became the first man to officially break the sound barrier in a jet. Yeager, in fact, commemorated that feat on Sunday, flying in the back seat of an F-15 Eagle as it broke

the sound barrier at more than 30,000 feet above Californias Mojave Desert. At Baumgartners insistence, some 30 cameras recorded his stunt. Shortly after launch early Sunday, screens at mission control showed the capsule, dangling from the massive balloon, as it rose gracefully above the New Mexico desert. Baumgartner could be seen on video, calmly checking instruments inside the capsule. The dive was more than just a stunt. NASA is eager to improve its blueprints for future spacesuits. Baumgartners team included Joe Kittinger, who first tried to break the sound barrier from 19.5 miles up in 1960, reaching speeds of 614 mph. With Kittinger inside mission control, the two men could be heard going over technical details during the ascension. Our guardian angel will take care of you, Kittinger radioed to Baumgartner around the 100,000-foot mark. After Baumgartner landed, his sponsor, Red Bull, posted a picture to Facebook of him kneeling on the ground. It generated nearly 216,000 likes, 10,000 comments and more than 29,000 shares in less than 40 minutes.

would love to know how they figure that. The COLA is based on the Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers, or CPI-W, a broad measure of consumer prices generated by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. It measures price changes for food, housing, clothing, transportation, energy, medical care, recreation and education. In the past year, food prices have risen 2 percent while home energy prices have dropped 3.8 percent, according to the CPI-W. Housing costs have gone up 1.4 percent and gasoline prices have increased by 1.8 percent. Blau said its common for seniors to feel like the COLA doesnt reflect their rising costs, in part because older people tend to spend more of their income on health care. Medical costs have risen 4.3 percent in the past year as measured by the CPI-W. Inflation affects everybody differently unless you happen to be that mythical average person who buys the average bundle of goods, Blau said.

Political ads bombard viewers, but to what effect?

By BETH FOUHY The Associated Press ORLANDO, Fla. Is there any escape from all those political ads in the most hotly contested states in the three weeks before the presidential election? The TV ads come in rapid succession and at all hours in the middle of newscasts, soap operas and talk shows. They cover everything from jobs to education to trust, and theyre sharply negative. Its all enough to turn off voters, leaving them frustrated and annoyed. Its just way too much, says Scot French, a history professor at the University of Central Florida. He lives along the swing-voting Interstate 4 corridor that will play an important role in deciding whether President Barack Obama or Mitt Romney wins the state, and perhaps the White House. French is quick to criticize both political parties, calling the homestretch advertising deluge a game of sowing confusion among those who are confusable. This is the risk facing the candidates and their allies as they spend huge sums of money before the Nov. 6 vote. Its a risk that both sides are willing to take, given that polls show the race remains close nationally and in the most competitive states such as Florida. By the end, the campaigns and independent groups will have spent about $1.1 billion on television advertising this year, with $750 million already allocated in the handful of states likely to determine the outcome of the contest Colorado, Florida, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Ohio, Virginia and Wisconsin, the KantarCampaign Media Analysis Group estimates. Florida tops the list, with more than $150 million spent by both sides so far. At least some voters tuned out long ago. In interviews last week, many cited the negativity and lack of specifics in the commercials; others said they had already decided which candidate to support and didnt need to be persuaded. Indeed, many of the commercials at this late stage are aimed at those voters who have not yet locked in on their selection. The target audience includes people such as Felicity Rusnak, a stay-at-home mom from Orlando. But Rusnak, 40, says she pays no attention to the ads and will rely on other sources of information to make up her mind. The ads I just find entertaining, Rusnak said. The debates and what I read about are going to affect my decision. I need to know where the candidates stand. Theres no doubt that TV advertising has the power to shift voter perceptions, particularly when a candidate is not well known. Romney prevailed in the Republican primaries after he and his allies buried his two main rivals with negative advertising in early voting states. Obamas team tagged Romney as a ruthless corporate raider with a flood of negative advertising in the early stages of the general election. The ads may have shaped perceptions in states such as Ohio, where Obama has held a narrow lead in polling for weeks. Even so, the unprecedented level of spending this year on ads hasnt changed many minds, according to one analyst. Theres not much bang for the buck, says John Geer, a political science professor at Vanderbilt University who studies presidential campaign advertising. The public is pretty much set on who they will vote for and only a tiny slice is up for grabs. That was the finding of his YouGov Ad Rating project, which screens political commercials with representative sample of 600 voters, including an oversample of 200 swing voters, who judge them for their fairness, believability and emotional reactions. Few ads, he said, really move the dials. Not that the candidates and their backers arent trying their best to do just that. In the final weeks, Obamas team is running an ad warning that Romney would cut Medicaid money for nursing home care. We have a president who wont let that happen, the ad says. Romney primarily is running a spot in which he promises to boost the economy through manufacturing, energy and cracking down on China. Let me tell you how I will create 12 million jobs when President Obama couldnt, Romney says. Both sides are being buffeted by independent groups. Romney is getting a big assist from two super political action committees, Restore Our Future and American Crossroads. The pro-Obama Priorities USA Action is running an ad saying Romney would cut early childhood education if elected. Among those who arent watching is Paul Gentille, a 67-year-old Obama supporter from St. Petersburg. He said he tuned out the ads months ago. Everyone

I know has already made up their mind. The ads are kind of annoying, he said. Its a shame to see so much money being spent. On the other side is Julie Harris, also of St. Petersburg. The 33-year-old stay-athome mom said she always planned to support Romney and that his ads made her more enthusiastic about doing so. One particular Obama ad stuck out to her: the ad assailing Romneys pledge to end federal support of public television and the Sesame Street character Big Bird. Even though shes a fan of public TV, she says that ad wont affect her vote.

NORFOLK, Va. (AP) The Navy submarine and the Aegis cruiser that collided off the East Coast are both back in port and officials are investigating what went wrong, the Pentagon said late Sunday. Lt. Commander Brian Badura of the U.S. Fleet Forces Command said in a news release that the submarine USS Montpelier arrived at Naval Submarine Base Kings Bay in southern Georgia. The USS San Jacinto arrived at Naval Station Mayport in Jacksonville, Fla. The vessels collided at about 3:30 p.m. Saturday during routine training operations and no one was injured. The news release said now that they are back in port, crews can further determine the extent of the damage. We have had circumstances where Navy vessels have collided at sea in the past, but theyre fairly rare as to how often they do take place, Badura told The Associated Press. Navy officials said the collision was under investigation, but declined to offer more specifics including where it happened.

Tomorrows Horoscope
By Bernice Bede Osol
TUESDAY, OCTOBER 16, 2012 Far more opportunities than usual are likely to come your way in the year ahead. Put everything to good use, and dont make the mistake of taking anything for granted -- waves of good fortune dont last forever. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Instead of assessing things from a realistic, practical perspective, youll be inclined to see things as you would like them to be. That spells trouble. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- For some strange reason, you could feel obligated toward someone to whom you owe nothing. Although this will be readily apparent to onlookers, youll be hard to convince. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- The results arent likely to be any good if you join forces with someone who treats lightly an issue that you take seriously. Be more selective of your allies. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -Its not that youll be plagued with a lack of imagination -- its more likely that your schemes will count for little because you might be too lazy to translate your ideas into action. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -You might be tempted to get involved with someone whom your better judgment tells you to avoid. If you ignore that wise voice within you, youll regret it later. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- The only way you can be successful is to personally manage all your endeavors to their conclusions. The things you dont supervise could quickly run amok. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- This might not be the best day to start a program that requires tremendous self-discipline, such as a diet or an exercise regimen. It isnt likely youll have the necessary staying power. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- If you need to purchase something expensive, it would be a good idea to bring along an adviser who is truly value-conscious. Chances are, you wont recognize a bum deal. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- The best way to be truly effective is to understate things. Being ostentatious or displaying a gaudy taste could severely and permanently damage your image. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -Instead of striving to be realistic as per usual, you could feel that the world owes you a living. Because life disagrees with you, unfortunately, disappointment is likely. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Its OK to get involved in a pleasurable pursuit, just be sure you can afford it. Plus make sure your cohorts are willing to pay their fair share. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Its never a good time to take important things for granted, especially where your work or career is concerned. If you get too complacent, it could quickly lead to your downfall. WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 17, 2012 The course youre presently on looks to be pretty good, and should come to fruition in the coming months. Try not to make any changes without valid reason. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- It doesnt help to worry about how your colleagues are going to handle a specific situation -- you need to find out. Ask them about their past experience with similar situations. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- An arrangement that could be of benefit to you financially should not be treated with indifference. Theres a good chance that the rewards within your reach could slip away. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -If you get careless about researching the experience of an individual who is scheduled to do a job for you, you could end up getting a rookie. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Usually youre pretty smart about when to keep things secret, but you might freely discuss something you shouldnt with those who are deliberately probing you for information. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -Because your resistance to splurging tends to be rather low at present, it might be best to steer clear of stores that offer all kinds of unique items. Once inside, you might go wild. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- When something is really important, you can be a tenacious person who sticks to the course until your objective is achieved. Today, however, these enviable qualities might be missing. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- It behooves you not to act on impulse when it comes to your financial or business affairs. Be sure that what sounds good upon first hearing is able to stand the test of time. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -Youve heard the old bromide Haste makes waste. That could apply to you if you try to take shortcuts in your work. Take your time and do things right. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -Theres a good chance that a purveyor of bad advice could pressure you into making an unwise decision. Keep your own counsel as much as possible. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Try to be tolerant of somebody who doesnt seem to grasp ideas or concepts as quickly as most people. In reality, it might be due to the way you convey the information to him or her. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- It would be best not to borrow any special equipment that youve never used before. You could get yourself in a heap of trouble real fast by destroying both your project and the tool. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- If you are ill-equipped and unfamiliar about a big-ticket item that you want to buy, take more time to learn all you can about it. Dont rush in where bill collectors are apt to tread.
