... the Canal Days Disc Golf Tourney Chairs
BY STEPHANIE GROVES Staff Writer [email protected] DELPHOS — If you’re looking for an outdoor activity mixed with some skill and friendly competition on Saturday morning of Canal Days, there will be a Disc Golf Tournament at Leisure Park with a players meeting at 9 a.m. at the shelter house and a shotgun start at 9:30 a.m. Disc Golf Tournament Chairs Dana Sterling and Jim Vaske have been helping with Canal Days festivities for a few years. Sterling said Disc Golf, the actual organized sport, has been around since the early 60s. In the early days, just tossing a Frisbee back and forth evolved into throwing the discs at trees, then at wooden dowels and now through a standardized target used all over the world. Sterling explained that he and his wife, Diane, have been playing Frisbee/disc golf for a number of years and she thought it would be great to build a course in or close to Delphos. “After visiting all the parks, there just didn’t seem to be enough room anywhere,” Sterling said. “She [Diane] convinced me to check out Leisure Park and it turned out the layout of the park would accommodate a 9-hole course.” Both men were involved with expanding the disc golf course at Ottawa Metro Park in Lima from nine holes to 18. “Jim and I thought we could help

TODAY IN HISTORY
Associated Press

William C. “Bill” Strayer, 83, of rural Elida, died Wednesday at the Roselawn Manor Nursing Home in Spencerville. Funeral arrangements are incomplete at the Thomas E. Bayliff Funeral Home in Spencerville, where funeral services will be at 1 p.m. Saturday. Visitation is from 4-8 p.m. Friday at the funeral home.

Today is Thursday, Sept. 12, the 255th day of 2013. There are 110 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On September 12, 1943, during World War II, German paratroopers took Benito Mussolini from the hotel where he was being held by the Italian government. On this date: In 1846, Elizabeth Barrett secretly married Robert Browning at St. Marylebone Church in London. In 1888, entertainer Maurice Chevalier was born in Paris. In 1913, Olympic legend Jesse Owens was born in Oakville, Ala. In 1938, Adolf Hitler demanded the right of self-determination for the Sudeten Germans in Czechoslovakia. In 1942, during World War II, a German U-boat off West Africa torpedoed the RMS Laconia, which was carrying Italian prisoners of war, British soldiers and civilians. In 1953, Massachusetts Sen. John F. Kennedy married Jacqueline Lee Bouvier in Newport, R.I. In 1960, Democratic presidential candidate John F. Kennedy addressed questions about his Roman Catholic faith, telling a Southern Baptist group, “I do not speak for my church on public matters, and the church does not speak for me.” In 1962, in a speech at Rice University in Houston, President John F. Kennedy reaffirmed his support for the manned space program, declaring: “We choose to go to the moon. We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard.” In 1963, “The Spy Who Came in from the Cold,” a novel by John le Carre, went on sale in Britain. In 1977, South African black student leader Steve Biko died while in police custody, triggering an international outcry. In 1986, Joseph Cicippio, the acting comptroller at the American University in Beirut, was kidnapped (he was released in December 1991).

EarthTalk® E - The Environmental Magazine Dear EarthTalk: What is the new documentary film A Fierce Green Fire about and what does the title refer to? — Gloria Howard, Washington, DC A Fierce Green Fire is a new film documenting the rise of the modern environmental movement from the 1960s through the present day. It premiered at last year’s Sundance Film Festival and will be playing at select theaters across the country beginning in September 2013. Educators, environmental groups and grassroots activists also will be showing the film at small and large events from coast to coast over the course of the fall. Written and directed by Mark Kitchell, Academy Awardnominated director of Berkeley in the Sixties, A Fierce Green Fire (the film) is based on the 1993 book of the same name by environmental journalist Philip Shabecoff. The phrase “a fierce green fire” refers to a longer passage in one of the seminal environmental books of the 20th century, 1949’s A Sand County Almanac.

Ohio looks at new energy developments
BY JAMES J. HOORMAN Assistant Professor OSU-Extension Putnam County million barrels of oil was pumped from Northwest oil wells and over 380 million barrels from 1895 to 1903. In Wood County, over 6,000 wells were drilled. It is estimated that 60 percent of the oil in these deposits are still remaining. At some point, the new drilling methods will be used to recover this oil. Current estimates are that when oil prices reach $120 per barrel (currently $90 per barrel), these deposits will be re-drilled. Many landowners have old oil leases or mineral leases which should be investigated and removed from the deed. If an oil company or representative contacts you in person or by mail and offers to pay an oil royalty check for a new or old past lease, do not cash the check and consult an attorney immediately. Old leases can be reactivated and enforced under the provisions of the old lease with a recent payment. Some companies are offering to pay a small amount of money to reactivate old leases which undervalue your mineral rights. Arnold says oil developers are also in the area trying to buy up new oil rights. If offered an oil lease, consult an attorney first. These developers are offering 1-1.5 page leases that do not protect your rights.-Typically oil, gas and wind leases should be at least 23-26 pages long, and a good attorney should be hired to protect your interest. Here are a couple of guidelines from the Ohio Division of Natural Resources: • Check references from the company you are leasing with because you may be in business with this company for years. • It is a common practice for leases to be “flipped” or sold to another company. You can negotiate for approval of assigning the lease to any third party. If your lease is resold, the terms of the original lease agreement are binding to any successor company and to you. • Landowners with multiple tracts of land should request separate oil and gas leases for separate tracts. • Will you have first approval of the location for any well, pipeline, meter, storage tank and access road on your property? • Will you be fairly compensated for any damage to trees, crops, fences, tile, livestock or buildings damaged by the drilling operations? Consult the Ohio Division of Natural Resources (ODNR) or Ohio State University Extension for more information.

A couple of years ago, Ohio’s energy future looked rather bleak. High energy prices have spurred innovation and now Ohio’s energy prospects look brighter. Agriculture in the 21st century will be a major supplier of food, fiber and energy. From oil and gas, to wind and sun energy, to bio-energy from agricultural feed stocks, to pipelines, or transmission lines; Ohio is in the center of many new energy developments. Due to our aging energy infrastructure, Ohio farmers and consumers will be seeing many changes. Ohio Policy Matters reports that Ohio ranks 28th in the nation for energy productivity and nearly 33 percent of all energy consumed in Ohio ($17 billion dollars) is lost in outdated electronic systems. Ohio’s electrical efficiency for factories and farms is rated to be only 50 to 55 efficient (Ohio Policy Matters). Dale Arnold (Ohio Farm Bureau) shares a couple of recent innovations, including advanced electrical metering on homes, factories and farms; battery backup systems to reduce electrical peak loads; and appliances that share their load through computer reprogramming. Dale predicts that 25 percent of our energy needs will come from on-farm generators by the year 2025. Fuel cells, wind mills, sunlight and ethanol are other examples of energy that are derived from agriculture. Co-energy is a process that recycles heat into power from heat that would otherwise be wasted. In Ohio, we are ranked 44th in recapturing only 2 percent of our power lost by co-energy (Ohio Policy matters). The horizontal hydraulic fracturing (fracking) for oil and gas in Eastern Ohio’s Marcellus and Utica shale deposits is a new energy development. In this process, one well is drilled vertically (1,000-15,000 feet deep) and then several wells are drilled horizontally. One well may replace 30 traditional wells. Water is mixed with sand and chemicals, and the mixture is injected at high pressure to create small fractures for gas and oil to flow. This process is more efficient at removing the oil and gas from the formation. Northwest Ohio was the Sauda Arabia of oil in the late 1890’s. In 1896, over 23

Eichers enjoy Lovina’s family gathering
BY LOVINA EICHER We turned the calendar another page since my last column was written. School doors have opened for a new year. Benjamin is in the eighth grade, Loretta is in the seventh, Joseph in fifth, Lovina is in third, and Kevin is in the second. They all came home on the first day saying school is a lot more fun this year. I’m sure as the days turn to weeks and weeks to months I’ll be hearing a different story. On Sunday morning, Joe and I along with Verena, Loretta, Lovina and Kevin left for Hicksville, Ohio, where we attended church. Four young boys were baptized, including Joe’s cousin Stephen. It was nice to get to visit with Stephen’s parents Jonas and Mandy and all his siblings. I also met some of my readers and we appreciated all the hospitality we received. It’s always nice and interesting to meet new people and make new friends. My cousin Toby’s son Amos, wife and children were also there at church. I don’t think I would have recognized Amos anymore. Nine and a half years ago when we lived in Berne, Amos went to the same church district we did and was just a teenager. This would be a grandson to Aunt Lovina Raber from Ohio. In the afternoon, we stopped to see where Jonas and Mandy live. They have seven children and three with muscular dystrophy. Their son Neal , age 34, has his furniture shop attached to the house. Everything is wheelchair level so he can work from his wheelchair. He showed us some of the furniture he has made which is very nice. We were served punch and a snack. We had a short but enjoyable visit. Jacob, Emma and family also attended church and visited with Jonas and Mandy. Mandy, Jacob’s mother and Joe’s mother are all sisters. We headed for Berne, Ind., around 3:30 p.m. and met up with the rest of our family coming from Michigan. On Monday, we enjoyed the day at brother Amos’ house for our annual family gathering. If I counted correctly, our family member count has reached 90, although three of the nieces and nephews weren’t there. There was lots of food there so I won’t try to mention it all. Amos had a 180pound hog roasted and there was lots of meat left. It was delicious! Volleyball, corn hole and horseshoe games were played. I had never played the corn hole game but sister Verena and I teamed up against sisters Liz and Susan. Needless to say I was on the losing team but we had fun trying. Everyone brought snacks that were enjoyed later in the afternoon. We started for home around 4:35 p.m. and arrived home around 6:40 p.m. Everyone was ready for bedtime early. School bags and clothes were all ready for the next morning. This is an interesting recipe I thought I’d share with you all. CARROT PIE 1 ½ cup cooked mashed carrots 1/2 cup brown sugar 1/2 cup white sugar 1 tablespoon dark molasses 1/8 teaspoon cloves 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon ginger 1/2 teaspoon salt 2 eggs, slightly beaten 1 cup scalded milk Mix in order given and bake in unbaked pie shell at 425 degrees for 10 minutes then at 350 degrees for 45 to 50 minutes. Served with whipped cream or ice cream if desired.

Metcalfe’s Musings
JIM METCALFE
been at such a relatively high level over the last decade — in the freeagency era — seemingly able to rebuild on the fly, but even they aren’t perfect; at some point, every team has to rebuild, as a friend of mine who is a Steeler fan admitted. Can they turn it around and prove these comments moot? Absolutely. They may not but one game won’t tell us that. As to the latter, the answer is … we shall see. I kind of like an offense that likes to get a lot of plays off — like a fast break in basketball — and will utilize all of its weapons — but it’s going to have to. They better have a lot of depth because if they think a running back like LeSean McCoy is going to be able to handle 31 carries a game over 16 games — well, pigs might fly! My guess is that those offensive linemen are also going to have to slim down and get quicker, faster and well-conditioned — I don’t think 330-pound left tackle Jason Peters, for example, is going to be able to stay at that weight over the year and in the future. I don’t imagine that it will also be in Michael Vick’s best interest to expose him to that many extra hits over the course of a game like that, especially since he isn’t necessarily that durable. Two, that defense also better be extremely deep because they may end up playing an awful lot of plays as well, just like the second half Monday night. In all honesty, though, I think the league has been going at a faster pace the last several years anyway, just maybe not trying to get the ball snapped every 20 seconds or so.

A ‘Man Named Suh’
By JIM METCALFE Sports Editor [email protected] Detroit Lions defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh is in hot water with the National Football League again for his boneheaded chop block of a Minnesota Viking offensive lineman, John Sullivan, that nullified a pick-6 by teammate DeAndre Levy during Sunday’s season-opening win over the Six Rulers. He was fined $100,000 for this stunt, running his total of fines and lost game checks to nearly $350,000. The problem is he keeps doing it. He apologized to his teammate for costing him the touchdown but how about to the lineman whose career he could have ended with this cheap shot — 10 yards behind the play when he had NO chance to making the tackle? If you hit him high and decleat him, that is a great play, but you went low. Are you trying to hurt people? At some point, he has to grow up and stop this garbage, no matter how talented he is. He has to control his rage — many players have done it! I think the coaches have to start holding him accountable as well instead of seemingly condoning this because you want a nasty defensive line. Just like in baseball, there are unwritten rules that you don’t break and he did with this play, as well as those in the past. The goal is to win games and not end careers. Players know who is dirty and who isn’t; they know because they go up against these guys. If he is so sorry, I make a suggestion; don’t appeal the fine. Man up to what you did and go from there.

Local Round Up

I wonder if at some point, the players tell the union to NOT support this kind of stuff; after all, it is THEIR careers that are at stake when someone does something ridiculous like this, especially in the age of trying to make the game safer. My guess is that pigs will fly — the GEICO ad notwithstanding! — before this happens, just like the Alex Rodriguez case regarding his 211game suspension still hasn’t been heard and won’t be until the day after the regular season ends, Sept. 30 — or until the Yankees are eliminated from the playoffs, should they make them. The more things “change” … I won’t go into what I think of the lateness of the Rodriguez “hearing” two months after the suspension was supposed to begin — I’ll let “justice” be served in that one. ———Isn’t it amazing how quickly pundits pass judgement on teams? Look at the opening week of the NFL season and how already, pundits are asking “what is wrong with/ how much trouble is (take your pick: Steelers, Patriots, Ravens, etc.) in?” At the same time, they are wondering if the Chip Kelly Philadelphia Eagle offense “60 Minutes of Madness” — my term — can change the NFL or last over the long haul. As to the former, it’s one game. So many teams actually have issues somewhere: I don’t know if you can say that there are any “complete” teams — outside of perhaps San Francisco — in the NFL right now. Everybody has a weakness somewhere, whether it’s in the offensive line, the defensive line, secondary or down the line. For an example, the Steelers have

Big Green notches 8th win of boys soccer season
By BOB WEBER DHI Correspondent [email protected] OTTOVILLE — Wednesday night at the Ottoville Big Green Sports Complex, two teams as hot as the weather met for their annual boys soccer non-league matchup with the Ottoville Big Green coming away with a 1-0 win over the Lima Central Catholic T-Birds. The game marked the fourth time they would play in the two Division III teams’ rivalry that stood at 1-1-1 coming into the night. Ottoville, unbeaten on the year, came into the game with a big PCL win over the Continental Pirates Monday night by a score of 1-0. LCC, on the other hand, came into the evening with only one blemish on its record, a lost to Bluffton last week. The first half saw the Big Green control the action from the start as the T-Birds, without the wind advantage, played more of a defensive strategy on the hosts. Ottoville head coach Eric Gerker encouraged his team to keep the pressure on the T-Birds, which they did with seniors Alex Horstman and Lucus Maag sending several shots and key throw-ins at the LCC goalkeeper, senior Ben Stechschulte. Stechschulte, who has started in goal all four years of his high school career for the T-Birds, saved one shot after another and often picked off throws towards the net before anyone could get their head or foot on them. Stechschulte (7 saves) came into the night with 46 shutouts in goal and his fellow seniors had a record of 41-18-5 over their successful careers so far at LCC. Not to be outdone, Ottoville’s goalkeeper, Colin Bendele (5 saves) played a very strong match. Bendele often came out of the net and challenged the T-Bird attackers and kept the game scoreless with big-time saves.

As the first half came to a scoreless end, both teams needed a much-needed 10-minute rest and water break as the temperatures were in the 90s at game time. Ottoville had four shots on-goal compared to LCC’s three. The second half saw LCC head coach Bryan Burkholder instructing his team to start picking up the offensive pressure on the Big Green as the wind advantage now was with the visitors. The T-Bird’s senior trio of Zach Schroeder, Matt McNamara and Sean Daley used their experience, ball-handling, passing and excellent shooting abilities to put the pressure on the Big Green defense. The Big Green defense was up for the challenge with several T-Bird threats on-goal either saved by Bendele or wiped away by defenders like junior Joe Van Oss and senior Jordan Kelch. The biggest play and call occurred at the 32:04 mark when T-Bird junior Ryan Recker was called for a foul and subsequent yellow card on the evening, giving the home team a direct kick. Big Green junior Joel Beining sent a high arcing shot over the T-Bird wall of blockers that came right at Stechschulte in-goal. Stechschulte blocked the shot and seemed to have controlled the ball; however, there was a skirmish in front of the net with Big Green junior Brandt Landin and the ball trickled into the net, giving the home team a 1-0 lead. The goal was contested from all areas of the T-Bird squad as Stechschulte pleaded with the referee that no goal had occurred and he was interfered with. Coach Burkholder also pleaded his case but to no success as the goal stood. For the next 30 minutes, the play of the match and both teams’ fan bases picked up the intensity on both ends as the T-Birds threw everything they had at the Big Green with shot after shot and the Big Green tried to preserve the 1-0 lead over that same time.

Meyer: Miller still not cleared for takeoff at Cal
By RUSTY MILLER Associated Press COLUMBUS — With less than 72 hours before No. 4 Ohio State plays at California, the status of injured Buckeyes quarterback Braxton Miller is still uncertain. Coach Urban Meyer said Miller got in a little work at Wednesday’s practice but then had another session of rehab for his injured left knee. “We’ll know more tomorrow,” Meyer said. “He’s going on the trip and tomorrow’s going to be the day we’ll find out how much he’ll play.” Miller, who sustained a sprained ligament in his left knee early in the Buckeyes’ 42-7 win over San Diego State last weekend, has been receiving treatment and throwing the ball this week. Meyer said

Gordon, Shields lead Royals past Indians 6-2
Associated Press CLEVELAND — The Kansas City Royals believe they are in the American League playoff chase to stay. They might start convincing others, too. The Royals gained ground in the wild card race on Wednesday with a 6-2 win over the Cleveland Indians. Kansas City took two of three in the series between clubs that are in contention for the second wild card spot in the AL. The Royals, who entered Wednesday trailing Tampa Bay by three games, moved a game closer to the Indians. Cleveland came in 1½ games behind the Rays. “To come in here and win a series against a tough Cleveland team was huge for us,” Royals manager Ned Yost said. “Especially considering where we are at this point of the season. Losses hurt now. You’ve got to try to really keep them at a minimum if you can.” Alex Gordon homered on the game’s first pitch, and James Shields dominated after a shaky first inning for the Royals, who have won 13 of 18. “These guys have developed a lot of experience this year,” Shields said. “We’ve gone through so many ups and downs this year that we’ve been through every situation you can think of almost. These guys know what it takes. They know how to win.” The Royals had a home run, a triple and a single within the game’s first seven pitches to take a 2-0 lead. Kansas City added another run in the first inning. Shields (11-9) gave up two runs, two hits, and hit a batter in the bottom half before he took control. Michael Brantley had a two-run single in the first, but Shields didn’t allow another hit until Jason Kipnis’ leadoff single in the ninth. He retired 16 of 17 going into the ninth, but was removed after allowing singles to Kipnis and Carlos Santana. Shields allowed four hits, struck out seven and walked one. Greg Holland retired the last three hitters for his 42nd save. Gordon jumped on a 90 mph fastball from Scott Kazmir (8-8) and lined it into the seats in right field for his 13th career leadoff homer. “It’s not my first rodeo, so I’ve done it before,” Gordon said. “Sometimes you’ve just got to mix it up, especially with Kazmir with his electric stuff.” “He said he was going to do it,” Yost said. “He picks his spots.” Eric Hosmer and Lorenzo Cain added RBI singles. The Indians won the first game of the series and finished 5-4 on their homestand, but failed to gain ground in the playoff chase for the second straight day. Cleveland will begin a seven-game trip in Chicago on Thursday. The Indians and Royals meet again in Kansas City next week for a three-game series. “They’re a good team,” Indians manager Terry Francona said. “They’re right where we are. They’re a real good team.” Kansas City went 26-18 in a stretch of 44 games in 44 days.

Emilio Bonifacio followed Gordon’s homer with a triple, and Hosmer singled to center to make it 2-0. Kazmir retired the next two hitters, but Justin Maxwell singled, and Cain lined a single to center for the third run. Shields also struggled in the first. Michael Bourn walked and Mike Aviles was hit by a pitch. The runners moved up on a groundout, and Brantley singled to center with two outs. Shields got the start following his shortest outing of the season, a start against Detroit on Friday in which he matched career worsts by allowing 10 runs and 14 hits in 3 2-3 innings in a 16-2 loss. He bounced back Wednesday and improved to 2-5 in 13 career starts against Cleveland. After the first, Shields pitched like the ace the Royals envisioned he would be when they acquired him from the Rays for outfielder Wil Myers, one of baseball’s top prospects. The right-hander leads the AL with 207 2-3 innings pitched. “James comes off his arguably worst start of the year and has arguably his best start of the year,” Yost said. “He just put us on his back today and carried us.” Shields’ biggest problem came with his own defense when he made two errors in the third. He dropped a throw from Hosmer at first base, allowing Kipnis to reach safely. He then threw wildly to first trying to pick off Kipnis, but retired Santana to end the inning. Kazmir allowed four runs and nine hits in four innings. He struck out a seasonhigh 12 over six scoreless innings in an 8-1 victory over the New York Mets in his last outing.

Mesoraco, Hannahan power Reds to 6-0 win over Cubs
Associated Press

Tuesday he was “fairly optimistic” that the junior might play. “I feel about the same (today),” Meyer said. Miller went through light, non-contact practices with the team Tuesday and Wednesday. He wore a big brace on the knee. “It’s not as sore, it’s an MCL so it’s a little unstable,” Meyer said. “He’s got to get used to that brace.” Meyer, who said it was a concern that he didn’t know Miller’s status this late in the week, didn’t disregard that he might start Kenny Guiton and would then insert Miller if possible. The Buckeyes (2-0) will be playing their first road game against the Bears (1-1). Safety Christian Bryant said Miller looked OK in a limited appearance in practice. See OSU, page 7

CINCINNATI — The Reds got power from some unlikely players to complete a 7-3 homestand. Devin Mesoraco hit his first home run in more than a month and Jack Hannahan added his first career pinch-hit homer as Cincinnati avoided a sweep by the lastplace Chicago Cubs with a 6-0 win on Wednesday. Mesoraco, hitless in his previous 13 at bats, had three to lead the Reds. The homestand included a 3-1 record against St. Louis and three-game sweep of NL West Division-leading Los Angeles. “It felt like I got the monkey off my back,” Hannahan said. “The last two years, I hit home runs on opening day. It was huge.” Hannahan didn’t get many pinch-hit opportunities in the American League. “This is all new to me,” he said. The hit turned a close game into a rout. “It wasn’t easy,” Cincinnati manager Dusty Baker said. “Everybody was happy for Hannahan. It was big to get those runs.” Cincinnati entered the game in third place in the Central, three games behind the division-leading Cardinals and two behind Pittsburgh. After winning the first two games of the three-game series, the Cubs were in position for their first sweep of the Reds in Cincinnati since May 2001. Mike Leake (13-6) threw 107 pitches in 5 2-3 innings en route to a career high in wins, despite humid conditions and an 84-degree temperature at game time. Leake allowed four hits and four walks with six strikeouts. He joined relievers J.J. Hoover, Alfredo Simon, Manny Parra and Sam LeCure to produce Cincinnati’s 16th shutout of the season, four more than last season. See REDS, page 7

MLB remembers Sept. 11 with on-field tributes
BY STEPHEN HAWKINS Associated Press Texas Rangers third base coach Gary Pettis still has vivid memories of that day 12 years ago, when two hijacked jets were flown into the World Trade Center towers. Back then, Pettis was a coach for the Chicago White Sox, who had arrived in town only a few hours earlier for a scheduled game that night against the New York Yankees. “You could smell the smoke. It wasn’t a good feeling that day,” Pettis said Wednesday before a home game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. “It’s so sad that so many people lost their lives, and it’s ruined other peoples’ lives. … It’s like it was a movie, it’s like that wasn’t something that actually happened. I still can’t believe it.” What he does believe is the importance for Major League Baseball — and all Americans — to take a moment to remember Sept. 11. Players, coaches and umpires wore American flag patches embroidered on the side of their caps in commemoration of the tragedy. Special lineup cards were used, and patriotic on-field tributes were planned for the day’s 15 games, involving all 30 teams. Flags were half-staff, and there were moments of silence across baseball. There were impromptu remembrances, too. In New York, art students made a chalk drawing in blue and orange on the sidewalk outside Citi Field, showing the Twin Towers, the Mets logo and the words “Never Forget.” New York Mets manager Terry Collins wore an NYPD hat and his players wore caps representing

other first responders during batting practice before hosting Washington. “You’ll always remember how you felt on 9/11,” Collins said. With so many tributes planned at the stadium, a memo was written on a board in the Nationals’ clubhouse — “Note: Everyone on the field @ 6:55.” Both dugouts were filled with applauding players, managers and coaches as members of rescue and security organizations marched onto the field. The Mets and Nationals then lined up along the baselines for a moment of silence and the national anthem. At Rangers Ballpark in Texas, the 531st U.S. Air Force Quintet performed the national anthem instrumentally. The honorary first pitch was thrown out by former prisoner of war Jessica Lynch, who was 19 when she was captured along with five other soldiers after the U.S. Army’s 507th Maintenance Company took a wrong turn and came under attack in Iraq in 2003. She was held for nine days before being rescued. The Cleveland Police Department presented the colors at Progressive Field before the national anthem at the Indians’ game against Kansas City. Cleveland’s Jason Giambi was with Oakland when the Athletics were in the 2001 playoffs against the Yankees. He recalled the atmosphere at Yankee Stadium being “unbelievable,” even more electric than usual for the postseason. “It will always be a time I’ll remember, going out there playing against the Yankees during that time,” Giambi said. “It kind of healed the nation, especially the city of New York, which was hit so hard. There they were, the Yankees playing in the playoffs, going all the way to the World Series.”

“Braxton looks good,” he said. “I saw him throw the ball a few times. But I think he’s just focusing on getting back so he can be ready.” Miller has a history of injuries, leading some fans calling into talk shows or posting on message boards to question his durability. He missed portions of his high school career to injury and has had to leave six games with injuries at Ohio State. He left with a sprained ankle in 2011 at Nebraska with the Buckeyes ahead 27-6 but they ended up losing 34-27. After taking hits, he missed portions of the Michigan State and Indiana games a year ago, but returned each time as the Buckeyes won. In the season-opening 40-20 win over Buffalo, he left the game twice with leg cramps but returned each time, replaced by backup Kenny Guiton.

Adane Spence got the scoring started as he headed in a goal off a throw-in from Watson at the 24:56 mark. The Express took that 1-0 lead into the break. Vijay Gentles put the Express up 2-0 with a goal at the 53:55 mark on an assist from Jacob Martin. Jamison Foos (71:20) and Kalida graduate Tyler Kortokrax (89:06) then gave the Express some insurance goals late. Gentles assisted on the goal by Foos and Watson had his second assist on the final goal. The Express dominated the play as they took 12 shots on goal compared to just one for Lakeland. Joshua Kleinow started in goal for the Express. He made one save through the game’s

The Yellow Jackets fall by a score of 1-0. In a match that only saw eight shots on-goal, Heidelberg’s Christopher Koczak was able to find the lone goal on a deflection from goalie Sean Roberts in the first half with just two seconds remaining. Although Defiance got 11 shots off, only three were on goal in which the Yellow Jackets just couldn’t get it past the keeper. The Yellow Jackets’ continued to play great defense in the second half. After allowing just the one goal and four other shots on goal in the first half, the defense didn’t allow a single shot on goal after intermission. With the loss, DC falls to 3-2 on the season. Defiance next plays at another Ohio Athletic Conference school, Capital, on Saturday at 3 p.m.

“I didn’t have my best stuff,” Leake said. “Sometimes you have a few games where a couple of pitches beat you. I was able to make pitches and it worked out.” Leake appeared to be the odd man out when spring training started. The Reds were grooming Aroldis Chapman for a job in the starting rotation. They changed their minds and Leake has prospered. “It’s an accomplishment,” said Leake of his 13 wins. “You can’t plan how your season is going to go. The winds have blown me in the right direction.” Chicago has been shut out 13 times, three fewer than last season. The Reds used small ball in the second for a 2-0 lead. Jay Bruce led off with a single and went to third on Todd Frazier’s softly lined single down the left field line. Both players scored on RBI groundouts to second by Xavier Paul and Zack Cozart, who went 0-for-4 and ended his career-high hitting streak at 15 games. Mesoraco added his ninth homer in the fourth, a one-out solo shot off a pitch by Jeff Samardzija that sailed 429 feet into the first row of the second deck in left field. The homer was Mesoraco’s first in 25 games since he hit two against St. Louis on Aug. 3. The Reds broke it open in the sixth on Hannahan’s 402-foot, three-run homer into the right field seats off of Samardzija, Hannahan’s first since last July 20 for Cleveland against Baltimore. Samardzija (8-12) gave up eight hits, six runs and three walks with five strikeouts. He threw 114 pitches, including a wild pitch. “I didn’t think he threw the ball bad until the three-run homer,” Chicago manager Dale Sveum said. “They had some bloopers and the other homer (by Mesoraco). Other than that, they didn’t have a lot of hard hit balls.”

As the final minutes ticked off the clock, the night belonged to the Big Green as they were able to come away with a hard fought 1-0 win over the T-Birds and keep their undefeated record. Both teams could possibly meet again in the district tournament. The T-Birds (7-2-0) had five shots on-goal on the evening. The T-Birds will next be in action on Saturday as St. Marys comes to town for a home match against the Roughriders starting at 4 o’clock. The Big Green (8-0-0) had eight shots on-goal for the evening. The Big Green will travel to Lehman Catholic Saturday.

Men with higher resting heart rates may be at risk
DEAR DOCTOR K: I’m a man in my 50s. I’m in good shape and I exercise regularly, but I have a high resting heart rate. Is this cause for concern? DEAR READER: Your heart rate changes from minute to minute. It depends on whether you are standing up or lying down, moving around or sitting still, stressed or relaxed. Your resting heart rate is how fast your heart beats when you are relaxed and sitting still. To answer your question, there is cause for concern. Based on a recent study, even fit men with higher resting heart rates may have a higher risk of early death. The study followed nearly 2,800 middle-aged men for 16 years. Men whose resting heart rates were 80 or more beats per minute died earlier, on average, than men with a resting heart rate of 65 beats per minute. Experts have recognized the link between faster resting heart rates and heart disease and shorter lives for the past few years. Until recently, the leading explanation has been that resting heart rates in the 60 to 70 beats-per-minute range most often reflect better fitness. And with better fitness you are less likely to develop heart problems and more likely to live longer. The new study found that

On Health
higher resting heart rates meant shorter life expectancy -- even in fit people. This was true even for men who exercised regularly when researchers factored in age and health habits. Regular exercise does lower the resting heart rate. But even among regular exercisers, there are those with resting heart rates in the range of 55-75, and those with higher rates. In this study, those folks with higher rates were likely to die younger. So what else causes a higher resting heart rate, besides not being fit? Genes and aging play a role. In my experience, there are some people who respond to the challenges of their daily lives by releasing a lot of the adrenaline hormone. Adrenaline raises heart rate, and constant high levels in the blood may make the heart more irritable. People who smoke or drink too much alcohol generally have higher resting heart rates. Stress, medicines and medical conditions also influence heart rate.

Discuss your resting heart rate with your doctor at your next visit. In the meantime, you can start to lower your heart rate on your own: -- Exercise more. When you take a brisk walk, swim or ride a bike, your heart beats faster during the activity and for a short time afterward. But exercising every day gradually slows your resting heart rate. -Reduce stress. Meditation, tai chi and other stress-busting techniques can lower your heart rate over time. There are medicines that can lower your heart rate. The most widely used are beta blockers. These medicines are effective in treating high blood pressure. In people with known heart disease, they reduce the risk of future heart problems. To my knowledge, there are no studies of whether people who just have high resting heart rates would benefit from taking beta blockers.

Collecting coins is an exciting hobby
by Gary Clothier Q: Do Lincoln wheat back pennies have any value? Which years are the most sought after? -- A.Y.R., Media, Pa. A: As I always say in this column, I don’t give values of items. But I think I can give you enough information to get you started in the fascinating hobby of numismatics. The Lincoln wheat back is also known as the Lincoln Wheat Ear Cent, Straw Penny, Wheat Head and Wheatie. The coins were minted from 1909 to 1958. Condition of the coin is critical. If the coin shows evidence of being used, it is classified as “circulated.” If it was never used, it is classified as “uncirculated.” For instance, a 1922 coin in circulated condition might be worth $600, but that coin in uncirculated condition

Nation pauses on 9/11 to pay tribute to victims Diplomats move on 2 fronts on Syria weapons
MEGHAN BARR Associated Press NEW YORK — Life in lower Manhattan resembled any ordinary day on Wednesday as workers rushed to their jobs in the muggy heat, but time stood still at the World Trade Center site while families wept for loved ones who perished in the terror attacks 12 years ago. For the families, the memories of that day are still vivid, the pain still acute. Some who read the names of a beloved big brother or a cherished daughter could hardly speak through their tears. “Has it really been 12 years? Or 12 days? Sometimes it feels the same,” said Michael Fox, speaking aloud to his brother, Jeffrey, who perished in the south tower. “Sometimes I reach for the phone so I can call you, and we can talk about our kids like we used to do every day.” On the memorial plaza overlooking two reflecting pools in the imprint of the twin towers, relatives recited the names of the nearly 3,000 people who died when hijacked jets crashed into the towers, the Pentagon and in a field near Shanksville, Pa. They also recognized the victims of the 1993 trade center bombing. Bells tolled to mark the planes hitting the towers and the moments when the skyscrapers fell. “Tribute in Light” searchlights, turned on at sunset, illuminated the skies where the twin towers once stood. In Washington, President Barack Obama, first lady Michelle Obama, Vice President Joe Biden and wife Jill Biden walked out to the White House’s South Lawn for a moment of silence at 8:46 a.m. — the time the first plane struck the north tower in New York. Another jetliner struck the Pentagon at 9:37 a.m. “Our hearts still ache for the futures snatched away, the lives that might have been,” Obama said. A moment of silence was also held at the U.S. Capitol. In New York, loved ones milled around the memorial site, making rubbings of names, putting flowers by the names of victims and weeping, arm-in-arm. Former Gov. George Pataki, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and others were in attendance. As with last year, no politicians spoke. Mayor Michael Bloomberg watched the ceremony for his final time in office. Carol Eckna recalled the contagious laugh of her son, Paul Robert Eckna, who was killed in the north tower. “Just yesterday, you were 28,” she said. “Today, you are 40. You are forever young. Dad and I are proud to be your parents.” The anniversary arrived amid changes at the Flight 93 National Memorial in Shanksville, where construction started Tuesday on a new visitor center. On Wednesday, the families of the passengers and crew aboard United Flight 93 recalled their loved ones as heroes for their unselfish and quick actions. The plane was hijacked with the likely goal of crashing it into the White House or Capitol, but passengers tried to overwhelm the attackers and the plane crashed into the field. All aboard died. “In a period of 22 minutes, our loved ones made history,” said Gordon Felt, president of the Families of Flight 93, whose brother, Edward, was a passenger. Outside Washington, hundreds of people gathered for a short, simple ceremony at an Arlington County plaza three miles from the Pentagon. First responders from the county were among the first on the scene that day. Fire Chief James Schwartz said ceremonies like Wednesday’s — which featured an honor guard and a moment of silence— serve as a reminder of why first responders spend so much time preparing for disaster. “I’ve often said this has been the fastest 12 years of my life,” Schwartz said. “But if you are a surviving family member, I’d imagine this has been the longest 12 years of your life, because you’re waking up every day with a hole in your heart.” Bloomberg also spoke at a remembrance service for the 84 Port Authority employees killed on Sept. 11 at St. Peter’s Roman Catholic Church, in the shadow of where the World Trade Center once stood. “On that terrible day, we were united in prayer and compassion for all of you who lost loved ones,” the mayor said. “As we woke up this morning, our first thoughts were with you as well.” Dozens of family members and colleagues filled the pews as the Port Authority Police Pipes and Drums played during the posting of colors. Around the world, thousands of volunteers pledged to do good deeds, honoring an anniversary that was designated a National Day of Service and Remembrance in 2009. UNITED NATIONS (AP) — Key international players were moving on two diplomatic fronts Wednesday to try to put Syria’s chemical weapons under international control, and a fresh effort appeared to be underway to get the government and opposition to peace talks. The five veto-wielding members of the Security Council, who have been deeply divided over Syria, met late Wednesday to discuss what to include in a new resolution requiring that Syria’s chemical weapons stockpile be secured and dismantled. They later left Russia’s U.N. mission without commenting. At the same time, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov were heading to Geneva with teams of experts for broader-ranging talks today about the nuts and bolts of putting Syria’s chemi-

cal weapons under international control and destroying them, diplomats said. The U.N.-Arab League envoy for Syria, Lakhdar Brahimi, was also heading to Geneva to be available to meet Kerry and Lavrov, whose efforts to start peace talks to end the 2 1/2-year Syrian conflict have been stymied by a government offensive and a deadly suspected poison gas attack on Aug. 21. The diplomatic flurry follows the threat of U.S. strikes against President Bashar Assad’s regime and a surprise offer from Kerry that Syria could avert U.S. military action by turning over “every single bit of his chemical weapons” to international control within a week. Russia, Syria’s most important ally, and Assad’s government quickly agreed on the broad proposal, but details still need to be worked out.

Study: Wind farms killed 67 eagles in 5 years Institute: NKorea
WASHINGTON (AP) — Wind energy facilities have killed at least 67 golden and bald eagles in the last five years, but the figure could be much higher, according to a new scientific study by government biologists. The research represents one of the first tallies of eagle deaths attributed to the nation’s growing wind energy industry, which has been a pillar of President Barack Obama’s plans to reduce the pollution blamed for global warming. Wind power releases no air pollution. But at a minimum, the scientists wrote, wind farms in 10 states have killed at least 85 eagles since 1997, with most deaths occurring between 2008 and 2012, as the industry was greatly expanding. Most deaths — 79 — were golden eagles that struck wind turbines. One of the eagles counted in the study was electrocuted by a power line. The vice president of the American Bird Conservancy, Mike Parr, said the tally was “an alarming and concerning finding.” A trade group, the American Wind Energy Association, said in a statement that the figure was much lower than other causes of eagle deaths. The group said it was working with the government and conservation groups to find ways to reduce eagle casualties. Still, the scientists said their figure is likely to be “substantially” underestimated, since companies report eagle deaths voluntarily and only a fraction of those included in their total were discovered during searches for dead birds by wind-energy companies. The study also excluded the deadliest place in the country for eagles, a cluster of wind farms in a northern California area known as Altamont Pass. Wind farms built there decades ago kill more than 60 per year. “It is not an isolated event that is restricted to one place in California, it is pretty widespread,” said Brian Millsap, the national raptor coordinator for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and one of the study’s authors. The study excluded 17 eagle deaths for which there was not enough evidence. And, in a footnote, it says more golden and bald eagles have since been killed at wind energy facilities in three additional states — Idaho, Montana, and Nevada. It’s unclear what toll the deaths could be having on local eagle populations. And while the golden eagle population is stable in the West, any additional mortality to a long-lived species such as an eagle can be a “tipping point,” Millsap said. The research affirms an AP investigation in May, which revealed dozens of eagle deaths from wind energy facilities and described how the Obama administration was failing to fine or prosecute wind energy companies, even though each death is a violation of federal law. Documents obtained by the AP under the U.S. Freedom of Information Act show that in two cases in Iowa federal investigators determined that a bald eagle had been killed by blunt force trauma with a wind turbine blade. But neither case led to prosecution.

nuke reactor likely restarting

WASHINGTON (AP) — A recent satellite image appears to show North Korea is restarting a plutonium reactor, in a move that could raise renewed international alarm over its nuclear weapons program, a U.S. research institute said Wednesday. The 5 megawatt reactor at the Nyongbyon nuclear facility was shuttered in 2007 under the terms of a disarmament agreement. Pyongyang announced plans in April to restart it amid a litany of threats toward the U.S. and South Korea after it faced tougher international censure over its latest nuclear and rocket tests. North Korea has since toned down its rhetoric and stepped up diplomacy with rival South Korea, but Wednesday’s finding by the U.S.-Korea Institute at Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies is a sign that the regime of Kim Jong Un is pressing ahead with its nuclear program.

Beebe assured the trustees background checks are done on all participants and a program facilitator would be on-hand whenever anyone was in the building. “We would hire a facilitator for the program and every applicant is checked thoroughly,” he said.”We want to provide affordable and customizable high-skilled training programs to meet the needs of our corporate partners.” Training sites are already established in Zanesville, Portsmouth and Logan. Beebe said DigitalWorks is looking for a total of 10-12 sites on Ohio. Trustees took information from Beebe and will discuss the proposal at future meetings. Director Kelly Rist said she will call the communities where the other sites are located and get feedback for the next meeting. In Rist’s report, she told the board while August is usually a slower month at the library, this year’s circulation was up 4,000 from 2012. “People are excited about the library and our offerings and we are loaning quite a few more items than we are requesting back through the inter-library loan program,” Rist said. “We are busy.” Rist also announced the library’s participation in the Big Library Read. The program is offered through OverDrive of Cleveland, the nation’s largest distributor of eBooks and audiobooks. From Sept. 16-30, “Fancy Nancy: Nancy Clancy, Super Sleuth” by Jane O’Connor and Robin Preiss Glasser will be available free to eBook and audiobook users. Rist added the program offers free materials every two months. The library will also participate in Canal Days in the Children’s Tent from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Sept. 21 and is holding a book sale in conjunction with the celebration on Sept. 19-21 in the library’s activities room. Rist also talked about the progress on the library’s new website, the availability of the card catalogue on Facebook through an app and a proposal to have the library’s yearbook collection digitized for free. The next meeting will be held at 4 p.m. Oct. 9 in the First Edition Building.

Tough enough to wear pink
Join us in the October PINK Light campaign
We’re looking for companies, families and individuals to help us cast an empowering glow of pink on the trees and bushes around St. Rita’s Medical Center, the Putnam County Ambulatory Care Center and the Delphos Ambulatory Care Center. When you sponsor the lighting of a tree, it will be decked out in dazzling pink lights that will shine brightly through the night until morning. Plus, your name will be featured on a sign recognizing the sponsors of each tree. Proceeds for the Tough Enough To Wear Pink campaign will be dedicated to the purchase of a 3D Mammography unit for The Women’s Wellness Center.

Sterling said he knows the Canal Days core group is always trying to bring new events to the celebration. Vaske and Sterling thought it would be a great thing to have a Disc Golf Tournament and the core group agreed. “When your wife is the Canal Days Coordinator, the only way that you can see your spouse for four days is to be a part of it,” Sterling said. “Once you are involved and you realize how hard the core group works and how passionate they are, you know they need the help.” Sterling said the days leading up to and during Canal Days festivities are long with a lot of work. “When it’s shared by many and they all know what to do and when to do it, the work seems to just flow,” Sterling stated. “The timing seems like it was planned to the minute.” “We are hoping for 15 to 20 teams and will attempt to match players of the same skill level to play together,” Vaske explained. The tournament will host three classes of players, Co-ed, Recreational and Advanced. Everyone that signs up for the tournament will receive a players pack which includes a Disc Golf Disc. Cost is $20 for both Recreational and Co-Ed. Advanced will be charged $30 to

Answers to Wednesday’s questions: The practice of using a string of knots or beads as a memory aid in prayer, developed long before the time of Christ, was popularized among Catholics in the 12th century by Saint Dominic of Spain, founder of the Dominican order. The word rosary may come from one of two sources: the early practice of carving rosary beads from rosewood (and calling them “wreaths of roses”); or the French word for bead, rosaire. The wooden chest that contains God’s laws as presented to Moses was taken on its last trip to Jerusalem by King David. Eventually, King Solomon put it in the Temple. It disappeared when the Temple was destroyed in 586 A.D. Today’s questions: In the British line of peerage, which is more important, a baron or an earl? Who was the last emperor of China?

All individual players are eligible to participate. “It is going to be a bring your own partner scramble playing three rounds,” Sterling detailed. “Scoring is the same as ball golf. You keep track of the number of shots it takes to put your disc in the target and the team with the lowest score wins.” Vaske said the prizes that will be awarded are based on the number of entries in each class. All three classes will win vouchers for new Frisbees. The Advanced may have a cash payout if there are enough teams. The grand prize is a disc golf bag full of discs, which is valued at $250.00. “We are hoping to bring the sport to all ages,” Vaske said with excitement. “It’s an inexpensive sport that is easy to play and most courses are free to play. You bring your Frisbee take a walk through the park and throw at a target.” “We are hoping to raise enough money to put concrete tee pads in at the park,” Sterling added.
