... the Canal Days Quilt Show Chair

BY STEPHANIE GROVES Staff Writer sgroves@delphosherald.com DELPHOS If hand-crafted, artisan projects are a passion, be sure to take a stroll down to the First United Presbyterian Church at the corner of Second and Jefferson streets during Canal Days and take in some exquisite works of art in the form of fabulous quilts. Canal Days Quilt Show Chair Pam Vincent said after the new quilt group formed in town, they wanted to revive the quilt show that had been a part of Canal Days in previous years. I think Ive been involved with Canal Days, off and on, for over 10 years now, Vincent explained. Vincent said that she has been the main organizer, along with fellow founding member Sara Grone, but it is a group project. The group currently has 12 members who will participate, along with a few dedicated spouses. As in the past two years, the group will host the quilt show at the Presbyterian Church. The ministry will enjoy the extra traffic the quilt show brings as they are hosting a public luncheon on Friday and Saturday. The group will accept entries into the quilt show from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. today. Throughout the day, well assemble and set-up the quilt frames to get the show display ready for Friday, Vincent explained. The show will run from 1-6 p.m. Friday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday and 1-4 p.m. Sunday. The Delphos Area Simply Quilters has held shows throughout the years at various venues. Jack and Jane Westrich were gracious hosts for several years, allowing the group to use their vacant, appliance and furniture stores. One of the most memorable of

those was the year my husband and I along with Jim Boog Grothouse and his son, Andrew, designed and built our quilt frames out of PVC pipe, Vincent explained. Were still using them! Vincent said the group took a few years off and then they were invited to host the show at the First United Presbyterian Church. One of our most memorable shows was at the church just last year when we featured quilts made by Brownie Hanf, one of the original members of the quilt shows of the past, Vincent said proudly.

FORT JENNINGS A student achievement program is coming back to Fort Jennings. The school board discussed the Blue Ribbon Incentive Program, in its second year, Wednesday. Elementary Principal Kathy Verhoff said the Blue Ribbon Club positively reinforces students performing academically well and for acts of good citizenship that go above and beyond whats expected on a daily basis. Faculty and staff will be on the look-out for students putting forth extra effort in the classroom and around the school. Students who are recognized will be given a blue ribbon token, thus becom-

ing a member of the club. The token will be placed in the Blue Ribbon box in the office. Students may be recognized for the following: an act of kindness, positive leadership, academic achievement, outstanding role model, extraordinary effort and improved attitude. The students name and reason for receiving a blue ribbon will be written on the token before its placed in the box. A weekly drawing will be held to recognize three students for their outstanding effort. These students will receive a free meal, which will be served at school on Friday during lunch. There will also be a monthly drawing for gift cards. See RIBBON, page 10

Superintendent Scott Mangas told school board members meeting at the Cloverdale St. Barbara Parish Wednesday a group of elementary teachers will take Ohios Third Grade Reading Guarantee practice test. The Third Grade Reading Guarantee is a program to identify students behind in reading from kindergarten through third grade. Schools will provide help and support to make sure students are on track for reading success by the end of third grade. Mangas and High School Principal Jon Thorbahn are also preparing to complete teacher evaluations through Ohios new system for evaluating teachers, the Ohios Teacher Evaluation System or OTES. Evaluations have two components, each weighted at 50 percent: Teacher-performance rating, determined from: A professional-growth plan; Two 30-minute observations;

The evaluation must be completed before the end of the school year. Mangas also announced bus mechanic and driver Ron Miller won first place in bus inspection in the Small Schools Division in Northwest Ohio this month. Miller also works in maintenance at the school. Teachers continue to train to be ready for any threats at the school. On Sept. 27, teachers will attend a Threats Assessment seminar during an in-service. Instruction will include identifying children who may cause harm to themselves or others. Safety improvements continue to be made at the school. Mangas said he will apply for a safety grant from the state for cameras and two-way radios for office personnel and is currently in talks with the Putnam County Office of Homeland Security for grants for MARCS radios for buses. Several doors will also be equipped with card readers instead of key-fob entry. See OTTOVILLE, page 10

Video confessor pleads guilty to fatal DUI in Ohio

COLUMBUS (AP) Confronted at a hospital by police who said hed just killed a man, drunk driver Matthew Cordle was angry and in denial. He became very irate, and began yelling, he didnt kill anyone, he didnt do it, and he wasnt going to give them any blood sample, Franklin County Prosecutor Ron OBrien said Wednesday. Sober and in recovery, Cordle had a change of heart. He decided to plead guilty as quickly as possible, and made an online video confessing to the crime. He didnt waver from the position he took in the Sept. 3 video, and on Wednesday he made good on his pledge and pleaded guilty to aggravated vehicular homicide. I drank so much I was blacked out, Cordle told Franklin County Judge David Fais near the end of a 38-minute hearing. So I would say this was a binge drinking situation, correct, Mr. Cordle? Fais asked. Yes, your honor, Cordle said. His guilty plea came just over a week after he was indicted, light speed compared to most court cases which can drag on for weeks or months. Sentencing was set for Oct. 10. Cordle, 22, faces two to 8 years in prison, a $15,000 fine and loss of driving privileges for life. He also pleaded guilty to operating a vehicle under the influence of alcohol. His blood-alcohol level was more than twice the legal limit of 0.08. In a 3-minute video posted two weeks ago, Cordle admitted he killed a man from another Columbus suburb and said he made a mistake when he decided to drive that night. My name is Matthew Cordle, and on June 22, 2013, I hit and killed Vincent Canzani, he says somberly. This video will act as my confession. Cordle told Fais hed been at a series of bars near downtown Columbus and was on his way home but remembered little else.

Drake, The Game donate to Tiffin mom whose kids died

TOLEDO (AP) Rappers The Game and Drake plan to donate $22,500 to help an Ohio woman pay for the funerals of her five children and boyfriend who died in a mobile home fire. The Game called the Burger King restaurant where the woman works Tuesday and asked what he could do to help her, a spokesman for the family said. Anna Angels five children and her boyfriend were killed early Sunday when a fastmoving fire tore through their mobile home in Tiffin, about 50 miles southeast of Toledo. Angel was working at the time and raced home on her bicycle when she learned of the fire. A funeral for the children was scheduled for today. Its just never right when they leave the earth early, The Game said in a phone interview Wednesday. They shouldnt make caskets that small. The Game said he told Angels boss that he and Drake each wanted to donate $10,000 and asked what else she needed. When the rapper was told that Angel did not have a car, he added $2,500 more to the donation from the producers of his reality TV show, Marrying The Game. Neighbors said after the fire that Angels only transportation was her bicycle. When things like that happen, I never know what to say, The Game said. I send my heart, prayers and my love her way. Community members already have raised about $16,000 for the family. Donations can be sent to the Anna Angel Donation Fund, US Bank, 730 West Market St., Tiffin, Ohio 44883.

Mission team travels to White Oak, Tenn.

Information submitted The Middle Point United Methodist Church and Zion United Methodist Church recently sent a team of 16 on a mission trip to White Oak, Tenn. The White Oak mission in Tennessee is an extension of Henderson Settlement, Frakes, Ky. Henderson Settlement is a mission agency of the United Methodist Church within the Red Bird Missionary Conference, meeting the basic needs in Appalachia. It was started in 1925 by Hiram Frakes, a Methodist minister. The community of Frakes bonded together to build up the Settlement, counteracting the areas reputation for moonshining and feuding. Bill Henderson donated 68 acres of land and several others contributed some of their holdings. The progress of the Settlement was made possible by the support of the Methodist Board of Missions and Churches. Growth continued and many buildings were built to house a school, church, gristmill and sawmill. The emphasis shifted in the late 1960s as Henderson Settlement became a partner with the federal government in the war on poverty. The social worker became part of the staff. At this time the Laurel Fork Health Clinic and Frakes Volunteer Fire Dept. came into existence. In the 1980s to present the settlement saw the beginnings of a community center, outreach service, tutoring and adult education.

The work camp program took on home improvement. There have been new programs added as are needed. Volunteers in Mission (work teams) from all over the country, primarily colleges and churches, come to work on community and campus projects. Housing for almost 200 people is available each week at Henderson Settlement. Because of an increasing need for work teams in the area of White Oak, a lodge was built in that area in 2001. Up to 48 people can be housed and fed at this lodge. Work teams are scheduled at the Work Camp Office of Henderson Settlement and a project manager is on site at White Oak to assist the teams during working hours. Our team bid on and was awarded the job of building an addition on a young couples house trailer. We also painted walls and ceilings inside the trailer. The materials were paid for by donations from our church families. We worked very well together as a team and the Lord saw to our safety. We were able to fellowship with each other and with the family and have stayed in touch with the family. We had two teenage boys with us that were a blessing to work with. They were willing to jump right in wherever they were needed. We are very happy with the work we were able to do in Tennessee and feel very blessed that we were able to make the trip.

92 charged in Cleveland herointrafficking probe

CLEVELAND (AP) Ninety-two people indicted in the biggest heroin bust in northern Ohio ran an operation financed in part by traffickers robbing other drug dealers, according to law enforcement officials and charges detailed Wednesday. All of us up here are confident that this investigation will have a positive impact on the neighborhoods where these individuals ran their destructive, and sometimes violent, operations, said Stephen Anthony, head of the FBI in northern Ohio. U.S. Attorney Steven Dettelbach, the top federal prosecutor in northern Ohio, said it was the single largest heroin takedown in the history of northern Ohio in terms of the number of defendants.

OSU offers safety tips for older farmers

Information submitted As growers prepare for the upcoming harvest season, safety experts from Ohio State Universitys College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences are offering safety tips for senior-aged farmers, particularly those who may have diminished sensory levels but are still very much actively working on the farm. The average age of a farmer in Ohio is 57, with more elderly farmers staying involved with the farm for financial reasons, because they want to remain active, or because its their lifestyle, said Kent McGuire, Ohio AgrAbility program coordinator for Ohio State University Extension. OSU Extension is the outreach arm of the college. Ohio AgrAbility is part of a U.S. Department of Agriculture program that promotes independence for people in agriculture who want to continue farming after experiencing a disabling condition. OSU Extension has partnered with Easter Seals TriState to combine resources, knowledge and outreach to bridge the gap between farmers with a disability and the resources and services available to help them remain productive on the farm. But with increased work during busy seasons such as harvest, older farmers are also at an increased risk of injury or even death, said McGuire, who is also a part of the colleges agriculture safety team. The Farm Fatality Injury Database of Ohio indicates 40 percent of farm-related fatalities in the last 10 years involved farmers ages 61 and over, he said. For older farmers, a physically and mentally demanding harvest season can present a variety of health and safety issues, including a higher risk of injury due to diminished sensory systems. Many farmers may not be aware of changes in their sensory systems since they gradually diminish over time. Some common sensory areas that tend to decline include reaction time, balance, the musculoskeletal and respiratory systems, hearing and vision, McGuire said. Weve worked with farmers who have diminished hearing due to working around loud noise over long periods of time, he said. This is especially true in the left ear because in the past it has been directly in line with the muffler of the tractor as the farmer looks back at the implement being pulled.

Allen SWCD honors Strayer Angus Farms as 2013 Outstanding Cooperator

Information submitted LIMA At the Allen County F a i rg r o u n d s Thursday night, the Allen Soil and Water Conservation District honored Strayer Angus Farms as its 2013 Outstanding Cooperator. William C. Strayer of Amanda Township became a cooperator of the soil and water district in 1971 and son-in-law Brent English joined the Amanda Township farm operation in 1987. The Strayer Angus cattle operation dates back to 1918 but the farm predates that and is one of the oldest in Allen County that is still held by the same family. The farm operation primarily functions around 200 Angus breeding females. Strayer Angus Farms sells breeding animals across the nation. They have made a significant contribution to the quality of countless herds of this distinguished breed of cattle. The Allen SWCD has assisted Strayer and English with a variety of land-based conservation practices over the past 42 years, beginning with a subsurface tile project. Most recently those practices have included pasture and hay planting and management, installation of nearly 4.3 mile of fencing, a heavy use livestock pad, pasture watering facilities and prescribed grazing. The award presentation was a bit poignant, as Strayer had passed away the previous day. Despite that, his wife, daughters, son-in-law and grandchildren were on hand to accept the award in his and the farms honor.

Upcoming classes offer training on cover crops, gardening and more

BY JAMES J. HOORMAN Ag Educator OSU-Extension Putnam County Soybeans leaves are turning color and/ or dropping leaves fast and a few fields of soybeans and corn have been harvested. Early reports for corn harvest are 200240 bu./acre and 50+ on soybeans. A light frost occurred on some fields over the weekend, but generally not enough to hurt crops. Hessian fly free date planting date for wheat is Wednesday, which also reduces the incidence of several other wheat diseases. Several farmers are experimenting with 15-inch wheat which allows for fuller tillering, 20 percent less seed needed for planting, improves air circulation and reduces disease development. Also, a cover crop may be interseeded into 15-inch wheat in late winter/early spring (red clover, sweet clover) or soybeans interseeded in late May/early June for double crop soybeans. Cover crop tips: First, do not broadcast treated wheat seed or other treated cover crop seed into soybeans or corn. Some farmers broadcast some left over treated wheat seed into a soybean field and at harvest they found treated wheat seed mixed in with the soybeans. Also, since the soil is dry, it is best to drill or plant cover crop seeds to get good seed to soil contact and germination. Cover crop plants need 60 to 90 days of growth to get established and/or to survive the winter. Be careful of broadcasting cereal rye or winter rye on dry soil if you are planning to plant wheat after soybeans

Vision also plays a role because many farm tasks are done in early morning or later in the evening when we have low-light conditions. Farmers will work until the job is done and many times can lead to working in those low-light conditions. Low-light conditions coupled with diminished vision can result in serious injury. To that end, members of the colleges agriculture safety team are promoting National Farm Safety Week Sept. 15-21 to publicize programs and other resources available to help protect farm families and farm workers from farm-related injuries and deaths. The weeklong communication efforts, McGuire said, include daily promotions via social media of farm-safety related topics. More information on agriculture safety and farm safety week can be found at http://agsafety.osu.edu. Some safety tips for older farmers include: Minimize machine or background noise. Get regular vision exams. Use sufficient lighting in darkness and reduce glare in extreme brightness. Avoid crossing between dim areas and brightly-lit areas. Exercise caution when working in extreme hot or cold temperatures. Be alert and focus on the task at hand because sense of touch can diminish with age. Keep walking surfaces and working surfaces dry and free from obstacles or debris. Maintain three points of contact when mounting or dismounting equipment that is, use one hand and both feet for support or use both hands and one foot for support. Anticipate changes in ground elevation or rough terrain. When increased efforts are needed, ask for help or use mechanical means. Organize work areas to avoid reaching above shoulder level or from an awkward position. Minimize repetitive tasks and avoid prolonged standing. Make an effort to minimize vibration when using tools or equipment. Be cautious of physically-demanding activities that are not routinely performed. Set a pace and take breaks while performing work tasks over a long period of time. Use personal protective equipment when appropriate, such as ear plugs, safety glasses and gloves

I love Betty White. Love her. I watch The Golden Girls re-runs every night. So the last time I was browsing at the library and came across a few books by her, I had to read some. I immediately read If You Ask Me (And of Course You Wont) because it is her most recent. I was delighted beginning to end. This is a very easy read; I finished it in one sitting. Were not talking deep, philosophical material here. What is here, though, is funny, amusing and entertaining. White offers up many of her own life philosophies, some of which she learned from her mother. She

homes. These were little tidbits I found interesting. White also makes many everyday observations about life. She offers her opinion on love, aging and the fairly recent Facebook campaign that got her to host Saturday Night Live. I just loved reading Betty Whites insights and reading about the way she looks at life, from her theory on exercise to life after death. I knew this wasnt going to be a heavy read but I was surprised at some of the kernels of wisdom I took away from the book. Its like sitting down and having a conversation with the star spending an afternoon with her. This book by Betty White is at times thought-provoking, at other times touching and overall funny. Just like she is. Cooking with Coca-Cola is quick and easy, not to mention the wonderful flavor it adds to our favorite foods.

Bring to a boil, stirring until sugar dissolves. Reduce heat. Simmer until thick and syrupy, about 15 minutes. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Liberally season both sides of ribs with salt and pepper. Arrange on broiler sheet. Bake 30 minutes, brushing occasionally with glaze. Turn ribs over and continue to cook an additional 30 minutes or until meat begins to pull away from bones, continuing to brush with glaze. Preheat broiler or prepare grill. Brush rubs generously with glaze. Broil until glaze is deep brown. Serves 4-6.

Lady Green escape with soccer victory

By JIM METCALFE Staff Writer jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com OTTOVILLE Ottoville scored with 9:55 left in the match, eclipsing Lincolnview 1-0 in girls soccer action on a beautiful latesummer Wednesday evening at Ottoville Soccer Complex. The Lancers (0-6-2) controlled the first half but had nothing to show for it, starting the second half tied at 0-0. The Blue and Yellow had the first couple of attempts in the second half: at 36:31, when junior Hannah McCleery who gave the Lady Green defense fits all night fired a 20-yarder from the left post that just missed to that side; and at 30:10, when senior Kennedy Mengerink (off a corner kick) had a 12-yarder that Ottoville (3-5-0) senior goalkeeper Danielle Trenkamp (7 official saves against 7 shots on-goal) deflected. Senior Cassie Hale had a follow shot from seven yards but this time, Trenkamp snared the ball. After that, the Green and Gold seemed to garner the momentum and started to free up senior exchange student Karin Wendeberg for good forays to the goal. She had a shot at 27:29 but Lancer junior netminder Julia Thatcher (7 saves vs. 8 shots) stopped the 19-yarder. Wendeberg continued to bedevil the Lancer defense and peppered the goal with either shots on-goal that Thatcher stopped, especially at 12:36 when she made a diving deflecting of a 14-yarder or missed her target. Lincolnview thought they had the first goal at 10:53 on a ricochet shot Schroeders attempt was deflected by Trenkamp but sophomore Autumn Proctor was there for the putback; however, she was called for a handball, disallowing the score. Lincolnview again had a try at 10:19 when Schroeders 8-yarder was stymied by the Lady Green keeper. At 9:55, Wendeberg would not be denied. Off a feed by sophomore Dana Eickholt, the senior did the rest on a great run down the left side. She juked a defender near the top of the box, kept going and fired a 12-yarder from the wing to the right side of the twine for a 1-0 edge. Thatcher staved off another Wendeberg 18-yarder at 8:52, diving to get the save. She also denied the last two Ottoville tries:

at 6:56 on a 17-yarder by Wendeberg; and with 18 seconds left, when junior Courtney Von Sossans 25-yarder was nabbed. Lincolnview had one last real chance to tie the contest at 5:21 when McCleery let fly from 22 yards but Trenkamp got the save. I think we just dug deep down the second half, Ottoville coach Tim Kimmet said. We had to; we are down to 13 players and with Karin playing through a groin injury, about 12 1/2. We really didnt do anything different but do that. Lancer coach Katrina Smith felt her team struggled mentally as the match wore on. When we arent scoring, we get to that point where we kind of get lackadaisical, Smith explained. It is a mental thing in that. We arent even doing it consciously; we dont realize that were getting tired and our bodies are slowing down. The Lancers for all but bits and pieces controlled the possession the first half, especially McCleery; however, they simply could not get it past Trenkamp, either by her coming up with saves, missing the target or suffering some tough luck.

Metcalfes Musings

JIM METCALFE

Theyre all after me!

I drunk the Kool-Aid. Mea culpa. I am referring to one Colin Kaepernick and his woeful, hideous, rotten performance against Seattle Sunday night. I get that the 12th Man of the Century Link Field they claim to have set the Guinness Book of World Records for loudest stadium that night can turn even the best offense into jello these days. However, when you play afraid, like it seems he did that night, that is not understandable. Watch what happens after I write these words: he will read them, get angry and tear up the league like never before! I also wrote last week that I thought 49ers might be the most complete team in the NFL this year. I should have taken my own advice about not jumping to conclusions after only one game but I based that on the last couple of years. Boy, was I wrong. No more prognostications about who is the most complete team again at least until next week! I didnt realize how good that Seahawk defense is, either especially cornerback Richard Sherman and they have two of their better players out yet. Not good for the rest of the NFL. I thought the Cowboys removed the play-calling from resident offensive genius Jason Garrett in favor of Bill Callahan in order to balance out this offense. Seriously? Its the same old, same old. Hey, Garrett, some advice here: update your resume. Whenever someone gets a vote of confidence this season isnt Armageddon for Jason, Dallas owner Jerry Jones observed earlier this summer that usually means its a matter of time before they are fired. After all, you were given oodles of cash as an offensive coordinator before you became head coach and now, that duty was removed from you. Hey, when you needed six turnovers in the opener and still almost got beat because you only scored 36 points need I write more?

By JIM METCALFE Sports Editor jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com You know, the way the Wisconsin at Arizona State game ended Saturday night/Sunday morning made me sick. The officials totally blew the last play; the PAC-12 made that clear in their politically-correct way, claiming it wasnt up to the high standard we have set for our officials. You know that I have tried to give the officials every break in my column: these are high-pressure games and mistakes will happen, especially as the games tempo quickens. Heck, I think the referees should go into training to become more athletic! You can argue about holding calls or lack of them pass interference, roughing the quarterback, etc. However, this is something that should NOT happen, especially at the end. How many games come down to the end in todays game. I will write this: perhaps that is a new rule the UW quarterback gave himself up, attempting (but not quite) taking a knee, which apparently is all that matters now and the officials simply forgot. An aside here: I lost that pick in the Pigskin Picks but should I get the win because of that fiasco? Where is my apology? Another aside here: You just KNOW that had I picked ASU, the referees would have gotten it right: theyd have spotted it quickly and called ASU for delay of game as they should have anyway because of the defender that sat there covering the ball while time lapsed. Im not paranoid, either (why are you looking at me that way?), just because everyone is out to get me! However, all this being written, I have to add: what in the world was the Badger coaching staff thinking? Kick the field goal! Are you kidding me? I assume you have a kicker that is capable of doing so at the major-college level: if he cant put it through from that distance with that angle, youd better get a different one. In other words, you allowed the official to botch it with a botched decision.

Ada spikers claw Wildcats

By Cort Reynolds Ada Herald writer

ADA - The Ada volleyball team rebounded from a sluggish start to down scrappy Jefferson over four sets Tuesday night in a Northwest Conference home match, 27-25, 25-20, 20-25, 25-23. Their third straight win upped the Lady Bulldog record to 9-3 overall and 2-1 in NWC play. I was pleased with how we started off tonight. Our intensity and confidence looked to be much improved from last week; unfortunately, we lost a very close first set, Jefferson coach Joy DeVelvis noted. Going into the second set, we were focused on keeping up our fight but several minors errors combined for us to fall short. The third set went well. We came out strong and never looked back; it was nice to see us keep our heads up and earn the win. The fourth set went well but we just couldnt get everything working together and lost another close set. Our consistency is improving but we will continue to work on it. See WILDCATS, page 7

BU soccer teams lose 2 By Ryan Schadewald Sports information assistant BLUFFTON On Wednesday, the Waynesburg University Yellow Jackets made the trip from Pennsylvania to take on Bluffton University at the Sears Complex in womens and mens soccer action. The outcome was not in the home teams favor in either case. On the womens side, Waynesburg scored a couple of goals early and comes away with a 3-0 win. The win pushed the Yellow Jackets to 2-3 on the season, while the home Beavers fell to 2-3. On the mens side, in the 89th minute, Waynesburgs Ray Melone had a corner kick and centered it into Josh Hennigh, who put the ball in the back of the net in handing the Yellow Jackets a 4-3 victory. The win propelled the visitors to 4-1 and denied the Beavers (0-5) their first victory. The scoring began for the Lady Yellow Jackets as Rachel Ball collected a pass from Susie Godwin and drilled it into the back of the net to give the visitors a 1-0 lead just 4:47 in. The second goal of the first half was scored when Becky Hotek centered it to Godwin and she buried it for her second goal of the season and a 2-0 lead in the 33rd minute. Senior keeper Maggie Armstrong (Vevay, IN/Switzerland) struggled in the first half, saving just two of the four shots that came her way. The home team switched goalies to start the second half, putting sophomore Ashley Knippen (Wapakoneta) in the net. The Lady Beavers played much better on the defensive side of the ball but could not get any offense going as Waynesburg out-fired the Beavers 11-3 in the second half. See ROUND UP, page 7

COLUMBUS Urban Meyer couldnt be happier that Carlos Hyde is returning to the field for No. 4 Ohio State even though it might create some minor headaches when it comes to playing time. Hyde missed the first three games when he was suspended after an alleged assault against a female at a Columbus bar this summer that did not lead to charges. Ive got to make this clear: He is welcome back, Meyer said. Its been a terrible three weeks for him. Hes handled his business the right way; if he didnt handle his business the right way, he wouldnt be playing in this game. Hes been very unselfish. Jordan Hall has been very, very good at tailback in place of Hyde, last years leading scorer and second-leading rusher for the Buckeyes. Now Meyer will have to wedge in another quality

back, splitting the workload and tailoring plays for the big senior. Theres only one football, Hall said after Wednesdays practice, acknowledging that Hyde will get his share. He was unsure what the pecking order might be at the position. Were just rotating like we usually do, Hall added. I guess well find out on Saturday. Even though Ohio State is an overwhelming favorite against Football Championship Subdivision Florida A&M Saturday, at least fans ought be entertained by watching the rotation of running backs and quarterbacks for the Buckeyes. Hydes not the only new guy thrown into the mix. Braxton Miller is expected to return from missing most of the last two games with a sprained knee ligament. He will vie with stellar fill-in Kenny Guiton for snaps. Miller was not full speed but did practice on Wednesday.

Former heavyweight champion Norton dies

By TIM DAHLBERG Associated Press LAS VEGAS Former heavyweight champion Ken Norton, who beat Muhammad Ali and later lost a controversial decision to him in Yankee Stadium, died Wednesday at a local care facility, his son announced. He was 70. Ken Norton Jr., a coach with the Seattle Seahawks, confirmed the death to The Associated Press before handing the phone to his wife, too distraught to talk. Norton had been in poor health for the last several years after suffering a series of strokes, a friend of the fighter said. Hes been fighting the battle for two years, said Gene Kilroy, Alis former business manager. Im sure hes in heaven now with all the great fighters. Id like to hear that conversation. Norton broke Alis jaw in their first bout, beating him by split decision in 1973 in a non-title fight in San Diego. They fought six months later and Ali won a split decision. They met for a third time on Sept. 28, 1976, at Yankee Stadium and Ali narrowly won to keep his heavyweight title. Norton came back the next year to win a heavyweight title eliminator and was declared champion by the World Boxing Council. But on June 9, 1978, he lost a bruising 15-round fight to Larry Holmes in what many regard as one of boxings epic heavyweight bouts and would never be champion again. Norton finished with a record of 42-7-1 and 33 knockouts. He later embarked on an acting career, appearing in several movies, and was a commentator at fights. Norton started boxing when he was in the Marines and began his pro career after his release from duty in 1967. He lost only once in his early fights but had fought few fighters of any note when he was selected to meet Ali. At the time, Ali was campaigning to try to win back the heavyweight crown he lost to Joe Frazier in 1973. Few gave Norton, who possessed a muscular, sculpted body, much of a chance against Ali in the fight, held at the Sports Arena in San Diego, where Norton lived. But his awkward style and close-in pressing tactics confused his opponent and Norton broke Alis jaw on the way to the decision that put him in the top echelon of heavyweight fighters. Ali thought it would be an easy fight, Kilroy explained. But Norton was unorthodox. Instead of jabbing from above like most fighters, he would put his hand down and jab up at Ali. Kilroy said after the fight, Norton visited Ali at the hospital where he was getting his broken jaw wired, with Ali telling him he was a great fighter and he never wanted to fight him again. Instead, they would meet two more times,

including the final fight at Yankee Stadium on a night when police were on strike and many in the crowd feared for their safety. The fight went 15 rounds and Ali won a decision. Norton came back the next year to win an eliminator against Jimmy Young and was declared champion by the WBC when Leon Spinks was stripped of the title after deciding to fight Ali in a rematch instead of defending his new title against the mandatory challenger. Norton was badly injured in a near fatal car accident in 1986. He recovered but never regained his full physical mobility. The doctors said I would never walk or talk, Norton announced at an autograph session in 2011 in Las Vegas, lifting his trademark fedora to show long surgical scars on his bald head. Ken Norton Jr. was a star linebacker at UCLA who played 13 seasons for the Dallas Cowboys and San Francisco 49ers in the NFL. Kilroy added Norton was visited at the veterans hospital in the Las Vegas suburb of Henderson by former fighters, including Mike Tyson, Earnie Shavers and Thomas Hearns. Norton fought only five more times after losing his title to Holmes. His final fight came Nov. 5, 1981, when he was knocked out in the first round by Gerry Cooney at Madison Square Garden.

Ada first-year head coach Joanna Snyder had a lot of smiles after the match. Overall, I am pleased with how the girls stayed with it and remained positive, Snyder said. The girls kept working hard and made the hustle plays. It looked like Jefferson might force a fifth and decisive set when they rallied to grab a 23-21 lead late in set four. Ada junior Lindsay Walden came up with a big kill that skimmed the net but the officials originally ruled the point for the Wildcats. After a short conference, they reversed the call for Ada, making it 23-22 instead of set point. Delphos then hit long after a rally to tie it and seemed to lose their poise a bit. Sophomore Carlee Marshall then smacked a clean kill to the open corner to advance Ada to match point. The lanky Marshall then clinched it with another kill when her hit ricocheted off a Wildcat and the back wall on the fly. Marshall knocked down a career-high 19 kills and added four blocks to pace the balanced Bulldog attack. I was really impressed with how she played, Carlee did a really good job, noted Snyder. The Bulldogs had played at Hardin

Round up

Northern the night before and seemed a bit tired at the outset. Upset-minded Delphos pulled ahead 18-13 before Ada turned up its intensity. Tori Wyss hit a cross-court kill and four Wildcat errors inched Ada within 20-19. A one-handed punch to the open corner by Wyss, a Wildcat error and a Rachel Wildman putaway tip put the hosts in front 22-21. Big hits by Walden and Alexis Amburgey advanced the Bulldogs to a pair of set points but spunky DJ tied it each time. Yet an error by the visitors and a kill by Wyss that was tipped out of bounds gave Ada the first set. The Bulldogs rode the momentum into set two as they ran out to a 9-6 lead. The Red and White rallied to tie it briefly but Ada pulled ahead on two hits by Walden and one apiece from Amburgey and Wildman. An Amburgey block, a block kill by Marshall and two Wyss winners made it 21-17. Jefferson closed within 22-20 after two aces by senior Lindsay Deuel (12-of-14 serving with 4 aces). Yet three visitor errors closed the set in favor of Ada. Set three was close early but the feisty Wildcats edged in front 9-7. They extended the margin to 15-9 and later were up 20-14 after winning a long rally. Two big smashes by Walden cut it to 21-17, followed by an Ada error. Wyss hit a fine lunging winner off a ceiling ricochet and Walden fired an ace to bring
saves to earn the win. The Bluffton men will welcome Calvin College to the Sears Complex at 4 p.m. Friday. Grindle leads Express to 5-0 win over Cincinnati State By Nicholas Huenefeld Owens Sports Information Toledo Jessica Grindle provided another hat trick to give the Express womens soccer team a 5-0 win over Region XII rival Cincinnati State Technical and Community College Wednesday. It was Grindles second hat trick in the past three games. The Express came out firing away offensively. They produced eight shots in the games first eight and a half minutes, with three saved by Cincinnati States goalkeeper, Kelsie Lee. The next shot, however, was put in the back left corner of the net by Abby Groll, assisted by Haley Kreger, and gave the Express a 1-0 lead at the 10:15 mark. Later, with just seven seconds left in the first half, Grindle scored her first goal off a cross from Haley Gasser to put the Express up 2-0. In the first half, the Express outshot Cincinnati State 19-1 overall, with the Surge getting zero shots on-goal. After missing quite a few opportunities to add on in the first half, the Express didnt waste much time doing so in the second half. Grindle added back-to-back goals at the 47:40 mark and 48:18 marks to blow the game open. On the first goal, Kendyl Christian crossed the ball to Gasser, who one-timed it to Grindle. On the next goal, Grindle got a through ball from Christian and nailed it past the keeper. Jill Burkholder made it a 5-goal lead with a tally off a header on a cross by Gasser at the 59:40 mark. Overall, the Express outshot Cincinnati State 30-3, including an 11-2 edge in the second half. The Express also held an 18-2 advantage in shots on-goal. Kalida graduate Erika Brinkman made two saves in her only two shots faced on-goal, while Lee made 13 saves on her 18 shots faced. The Express held a 13-1 advantage in corner kicks.

the hosts within 22-19, prompting a timeout by Jefferson coach Joy DeVelvis. A clean kill by Marshall capped a long rally to make it 22-20 but then the guests ran off the last three points to win set three. The Bulldogs fell behind 8-3 in the fourth set but reeled off eight straight points behind the serving of lone senior Hannah Price to take an 11-8 lead. The lead then see-sawed back and forth until Ada got the last run in to pull off a late rally and seal the victory. Also pacing the Wildcats (3-6, 0-3 NWC) were junior Brooke Culp (10-of-10 serving with 2 aces; 18 assists) and senior Katie Goergens (9 kills). Wyss knocked down eight kills and made 22 digs, Walden a dozen kills, Amburgey eight kills, five digs and three blocks. Sutton passed out 39 assists, Megan Simon hustled up 15 digs and Wildman added six kills. The Bulldog reserves rallied to beat Jefferson 2-1 to also improve to 9-3. Katie continues to lead us at the net; she played well again tonight. Its nice to have a go-to hitter when we are in a pinch and need a point, DeVelvis added. Both teams return to the court tonight: Jefferson at Lima Central Catholic and Ada hosting traditional backyard rival Allen East on Volley for the Cure night.
Jarrar, Combs pace Express mens soccer over Cuyahoga By Nicholas Huenefeld Owens Sports Information Cleveland Austin Combs and Ahmad Jarrar each produced two goals and an assist as the Express mens soccer team defeated Cuyahoga Community College 5-3 on the road Wednesday. Combs put the Express up 1-0 with a goal in the ninth minute on an assist from Kalida graduate Tyler Kortokrax. Vijay Gentles added another goal in the 16th minute on an assist from Jarrar to give the Express a 2-0 lead, which they took into halftime. Jarrar opened the second-half scoring with a goal in the 50th minute on an assist from Combs before Cuyahoga got back-to-back goals in the 59th and 62nd minute to pull within one. Express mens soccer head coach Art Johnson, in his 16th year, saw his team answer as Combs netted his third goal of the season in the 68th minute on an assist from Troy Watson. After Cuyahoga answered that goal to make it only 4-3, the Express got their second goal from Jarrar in the 80th minute on an assist from Gentles for the final margin. Notes: Kortokrax picked up his third assist of the season. Thomas stuffs Cuyahoga as Express volleyball wins in sweep By Nicholas Huenefeld Owens Sports Information Cleveland Jazmine Thomas had eight blocks to lead the Express volleyball team to a 25-21, 25-10, 25-12 win over Cuyahoga Community College. Six players added at least five kills for the Express, who were led by Kenzie Kleinhenz and Kalida graduate Kayla Siefker with five each. Siefker and Lisa Urbanski each had two aces, while Urbanski led the team with 11 digs. Jessica Cooper (17) and Ciarra Wirick (10) led the team in assists.

The Yellow Jackets added their final goal of the afternoon in the 78th minute when Taylor Bombalski ripped a shot from the far left wing over the defense and keeper. Knippen saved six of the seven shots that came her way in the second half. The Beavers were outshot for the contest 17-7, including 10-6 on frame. Jefferson graduate Megan Moreo had one shot on-goal for the Lady Beavers. Bluffton will hit the road for its next match as they head to Kentucky to take on the University of Pikesville Lady Bears on Saturday. The contest will begin at 6 p.m. For the men, Waynesburg came out in dominating form as Tim Fields scored the first goal just 21 seconds into the contest for a 1-0 lead. Then in the fifth minute, Cody Lemke added to the scoring for the Yellow Jackets, making it 2-0. The Beavers responded, however, with two goals of their own. Their first was from Peter Carlson (Toledo/ Springfield), who found the back of the net to cut the Yellow Jacket lead to 2-1 in the 12th minute. Then in the 19th minute, Ben Knotts (Carrollton) capitalized on a Waynesburg foul in the box and scored on a penalty kick to tie the match at two goals apiece. Waynesburgs Zack Benedict capped the scoring in the first half on a goal in the 26th minute. The first 15 minutes of the second half made for many scoring chances for both sides but nothing that came to fruition in the scoring column. But in the 63rd minute, sophomore Michael Ralph (Mansfield/Christian) connected for his second tally of the season on an assist from T.J. Kline (Mogadore/Lake Center), knotting the score at three apiece. After a superb performance by the defense and the goaltender for the Beavers, Hennighs goal in the 89th minute sealed the Beavers fate with another loss. The home team was dominated in the shots department 25-11 for the match, with 11 of the visitors shots being on-goal. Matt Hardman-Zimmerman (Forest City, Penn.) tallied seven saves for the home team, while Waynesburgs Brandon Daugherty made two

Ottoville

(Continued from page 6)

They suffered especially bad luck at 34:43 when McCleerys 17-yarder from the right wing hit the crossbar and went out of bounds; and at 13:06, when her high shot from the top of the box hit the bar. The ricochet came back to Schroeder but her 8-yarder was over the top. The Lady Green had a couple of tries but couldnt find the mark, especially at 24:30 when junior Robyn Turnwalds

14-yarder was deflected out of bounds by Thatcher. Lincolnview had a prime opportunity at 2:55 when the Lady Green was called for a handball in the box, with Schroeder getting the honors on a penalty kick. However, Trenkamp came up with a brilliant deflection and on a follow try, gathered in the orb. The first half, they were beating us to the ball. We were on our heels, Kimmet added. We had to be on our toes defensively; thats what you get when your forwards and midfielders

arent playing well. We didnt play well as a unit the first half. Smith was still pleased with her teams effort. Soccer is one sport that you can dominate and still get beat. Thats what happened tonight, she added. Ottoville is a good team and we made one big mistake that cost us. We had a couple of other mishaps that cost us. You can say we let it get away but I say thats why I love the game. Ottoville visits Fort Jennings at 5 p.m. Friday, while Lincolnview hosts Anna at 1 p.m. Saturday.

Berries are little powerhouses of nutrition

DEAR DOCTOR K: Berry season is here again, and I keep hearing that berries are healthy. Whats in them that makes them so good for you? DEAR READER: Here in the Northeast, were enjoying strawberries and looking forward to raspberries, blueberries and even blackberries further down the road. Berries are perhaps the easiest way to follow the fruit part of the eat more fruit and vegetables advice you hear all the time, including from me. Berries naturally come in bite-sized portions. Theyre sweet but have a nice low calorie count, partly because they contain a lot of water. If you dont need to watch your calories -- yes, there are people who are born thin -- you can pig out on them. (Just dont sprinkle much sugar on them.) Berries contain vitamins (C and a little bit of E, because of the seeds) and some lesserknown nutrients. But they also, somewhat surprisingly, contain a fair amount of fiber. A cup of raspberries contains 8 grams of fiber, which is more fiber than youll find in a serving of oatmeal. But what makes berries stand out nutritionally (and visually) are substances called anthocyanins. These substances give berries their vivid red, blue and purplish colors. Anthocyanins are antioxidants, which keep oxygen ions and other unstable molecules from damaging DNA, messing with cells energy-making machinery, stirring up inflammation in the body and having a variety of other harmful effects. Vitamin supplements with antioxidants in them have generally not been proven to benefit your health as many had hoped. However, theres still a lot of evidence that antioxidants are good for you, and foods that naturally contain antioxidants are thought to promote better health. Anthocyanins are concentrated in the skin of berries (as well as other fruits). In

Ask Doctor K
general, the more intense the color, the higher the anthocyanin content. So blueberries and blackberries usually contain more anthocyanins than strawberries or raspberries. And wild berries have more antioxidants than their larger, paler, domesticated relations. Raspberries also contain a substance called ellagitannin, which imparts flavor and has antioxidant properties that add to the effects of anthocyanins. Be sure to wash your berries right before eating them. Berries can harbor viruses, bacteria and other pathogens that cause foodborne illnesses. For me, the best way to start a day is with a bowl of fresh, delicious berries. In fact, thats what I had today -- with toast and coffee. I have a patient who is very knowledgeable about food and reportedly a good cook. She once chastised me for writing about how healthy certain foods were. The point you should be emphasizing is that they are delicious, because they are. The fact that theyre also healthy is the icing on the cake. Shes right. And berries are healthier than the icing on the cake. (Dr. Komaroff is a physician and professor at Harvard Medical School.

Navy Yard on Monday visited two hospitals in the weeks before the rampage but denied that he was depressed or having thoughts of harming himself or others, the Department of Veterans Affairs said Wednesday. Aaron Alexis, a former Navy reservist who died in a police shootout after the rampage, complained of insomnia during an Aug. 23 emergency room visit to the VA Medical Center in Providence, R.I. He was given sleep medication and advised to follow up with a doctor. He made a similar visit five days later to the VA hospital in Washington, when he again complained of not being able to sleep because of his work schedule. His medication was refilled. The VAs statement, presented to lawmakers Wednesday, comes as investigators continue focusing on the erratic behavior of a 34-year-old man who law enforcement officials say was grappling with paranoia and reported hearing voices and being followed. Two weeks before his ER visit, for instance, he complained to police in Rhode Island that people were talking to him through the walls and ceilings of his hotel room and sending microwave vibrations into his body to deprive him of sleep. Navy officials said the Newport police reported the incident to officers at the base security office,

anyone else at the time. Despite the apparent concerns over his mental health and past run-ins with the law, Alexis maintained his security clearance as he arrived in Washington in late August for a job as an information technology employee at a defense-related computer company. Alexis had been a full-time Navy reservist from 2007 to early 2011, and a Navy spokesman said his security clearance, at the secret level, was good for 10 years from when he got it. On the morning of the shooting, he used a valid badge to gain access to the sprawling Navy Yard and Building 197, bringing with him a sawed-off shotgun on which the cryptic messages of better off this way and my ELF weapon were scrawled, according to a law enforcement document reviewed by The Associated Press. The meaning of those words wasnt immediately clear. The motive of the shooting also remains unclear, though investigators have focused on Alexiss mental health and alarming behavior displayed in the weeks before the massacre. Alexis had enrolled in VA health care in February 2011, and received monthly disability payments of $395 for orthopedic problems and ringing in his ears, according to the VA. He never sought an appointment care appointments he had scheduled at VA hospitals, the department said. Meanwhile, Alexiss mother said Wednesday she does not know why her son opened fire on office workers and police. Cathleen Alexis read a brief statement inside her New York home, her voice shaking. She did not take questions from a reporter. Aaron is now in a place where he can no longer do harm to anyone, and for that I am glad, Cathleen Alexis said. To the families of the victims, I am so so very sorry that this has happened. My heart is broken. Alexis had with him during the massacre a handgun he picked up inside the building and a legally obtained Remington 870 Express shotgun. The shotgun was brought into the building disassembled and pieced together by Alexis once inside, according to a law enforcement official and a senior defense official who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the matter publicly. That firearm would not be covered under a proposed weapons ban supported by the White House. The ban was introduced in the Senate earlier this year and would prohibit 157 specific firearms designed for military and law enforcement use, and it would exempt more than 2,200 others.

Court: Clicking Like on Facebook is free speech

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) Clicking Like on Facebook is constitutionally protected free speech and can be considered the 21st century-equivalent of a campaign yard sign, a federal appeals court ruled Wednesday. The 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Richmond reversed a lower court ruling that said merely liking a Facebook page was insufficient speech to merit constitutional protection. Exactly what a like means if anything played a part in a Virginia case involving six people who say Hampton Sheriff B.J. Roberts fired them for supporting an opponent in his 2009 re-election bid, which he won. The workers sued, saying their First Amendment rights were violated. Roberts said some of the workers were let go because he wanted to replace them with sworn deputies while others were fired because of poor performance or his belief that their actions hindered the harmony and efficiency of the office. One of those workers, Daniel Ray Carter, had liked the Facebook page of Roberts opponent, Jim Adams. U.S. District Judge Raymond Jackson in Norfolk had ruled in April 2012 that while public employees are allowed to speak as citizens on matters of public concern, clicking the like button does not amount to expressive speech. In other words, its not the same as actually writing out a message and posting it on the site. Jackson acknowledged that other courts have ruled that Facebook (Continued from page 1)

posts are constitutionally protected speech, but he said in those cases there were actual statements. Simply clicking a button is much different and doesnt warrant First Amendment protection, he wrote. In his ruling, Jackson acknowledged the need to weigh whether the employees speech was a substantial factor in being fired. But the judge wrote that the point is moot if liking something isnt constitutionally protected speech. The three-judge appeals court panel disagreed, ruling that liking a political candidates campaign page communicates the users approval of the candidate and supports the campaign by associating the user with it. In this way, it is the Internet equivalent of displaying a political sign in ones front yard, which the Supreme Court has held is substantive speech. The case was sent back to the lower court. Facebook and the American Civil Liberties Union, which filed friend of court briefs in the case, applauded Wednesdays ruling. This ruling rightly recognizes that the First Amendment protects free speech regardless of the venue, whether a sentiment is expressed in the physical world or online, Ben Wizner, director of the ACLU Speech, Privacy & Technology Project, said in a written statement. The Constitution doesnt distinguish between liking a candidate on Facebook and supporting him in a town meeting or public rally. An attorney representing Roberts, the sheriff, did not immediately return a phone message seeking comment, nor did an attorney representing the employees.

Stock market sets record after Fed keeps stimulus

NEW YORK (AP) The stock market hit a record high Wednesday as investors cheered the Federal Reserves surprise decision to keep its economic stimulus program in place. Stocks traded slightly lower throughout the morning, but took off immediately after the Feds decision in the early afternoon. Bond yields fell sharply their biggest move in nearly two years. The price of gold had its biggest one-day jump in four years as traders anticipated that the Feds decision might cause inflation. Fed policymakers decided to maintain the central banks $85 billion in monthly bond purchases, a program that has been in place since December 2012. The bond purchases encouraged borrowing by keeping interest rates low and encouraging investors to buy stocks by making bonds more expensive in comparison. While the U.S. economy appeared to be improving, the banks policymakers decided to await more evidence that progress will be sustained before deciding to slow the bond purchases. The bank also cut its full-year economic outlook for this year and next. Stock traders shrugged off the Feds dimmer outlook and

WASHINGTON (AP) House GOP leaders Wednesday announced that they will move quickly to raise the governments borrowing cap by attaching a wish list of GOP priorities like blocking Obamacare, forcing construction of the Keystone XL pipeline and setting the stage for reforming the loophole-cluttered tax code. They also, as expected, promised tea party lawmakers a chance to first use a routine temporary government funding bill to try to muscle the Democratic-controlled Senate into derailing President Barack Obamas health care law. That fight will continue as we negotiate the debt limit with the president and the Senate, said House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va. Obama said again that he wont knuckle under to the GOPs demands The GOP strategy appears to assume that the Senate will strip out the defund Obamacare provision and send it back. The House would then face a choice: pass the measure without the health care provision or continue the battle and risk a partial government shutdown when the new budget year begins Oct. 1. Speaking to CEOs of the Business Roundtable Wednesday, Obama called on the corporate leaders to use their influence to avoid a potentially damaging showdown over the debt ceiling. He reiterated his promise to not negotiate over the need to raise the nations borrowing limit, which the government is expected to hit as early as next month. He blamed a faction of the Republican Party for budget brinkmanship designed to undo his three-year-old health care law. You have never seen in the history of the United States the debt ceiling or the threat of not raising the debt ceiling being used to extort a president or a governing party and trying to force issues that have nothing to do with the budget and have nothing to do with the debt, Obama said. So Im happy to negotiate with them around the budget, just as Ive done in the past, he added. What I will not do is to create a habit, a pattern, whereby the full faith and credit of the United States ends up being a bargaining chip to set policy. Its irresponsible. The last time we did this, in 2011, we had negative growth at a time when the recovery was just trying to take off.

focused on the prospect of continued stimulus. The S&P 500 surged 20.76 points, or 1.2 percent, to 1,725.52, slicing through its previous all-time high of 1,709.67 set on Aug. 2. The Dow Jones industrial average jumped 147.21 points, or 1 percent, to 15,676.94, also above its previous record high of 15,658.36 from Aug. 2. The Nasdaq composite rose 37.94 points, 1 percent, to 3,783.64. The fate of the Feds economic stimulus program has been the biggest question on Wall Street for months. It was widely expected that the Fed would cut back on its bond buying at the September meeting. Tom di Galoma, a bond trader at ED&F Man Capital, said he was completely shocked that the Fed decided to wait. Some investors advised caution, even as the stock market hit all-time highs. While the Feds decision is positive for the market in the short term, investors need to take a step back and consider the idea that maybe the U.S economy is on weaker footing than we originally thought, said Marc Doss, regional chief investment officer for Wells Fargo Private Bank.
