VAN WERT If you are
a property owner in Van Wert
County, you have no doubt
seen her name. Nancy Dixon
has served the county as audi-
tor since 1973 the longest
of any county department
head. Although her tenure as
auditor spans almost 38 years,
Dixon has been working in
that office since 1959.
I was right out of school
and I was working in a gro-
cery store that my mom and
dad had leased to another
man, she remembered. My
husband and I were running
the grocery. My dad was
auditor at the time and one
of the deputies up here died
and he asked me to learn that
work, so I came on full time
here then.
Dixon admits that over the
course of the last 52 years,
there is not much that she
has not seen while on the job.
And surprisingly, even with
the technological advances in
that time, much of the audi-
tors job is the same as it was
when she went to work as
a deputy under her fathers
supervision.
We used to do all of our
entries by hand but now we
do it by computer. We used
to typewrite our warrants and
now thats on computer, list-
ed Dixon. We used to have
a big page of all the names
and how much everybody
gets for their payroll and then
they would just go over and
sign for their cash. Of course,
thats done by check now.
They are pretty much the
same results as we had back
then, just a different way to
do it.
Dixon has seen her fair
share of changes, though.
Changes made through the
Statehouse continually keep
her on her toes. But she claims
the biggest change came right
after she took office.
There was a dramatic
House Bill in the 70s that
really changed things with the
taxation process. Then the tax
rates didnt change but now
the rates change as the valu-
ations change. Thats been
the most significant change in
taxation but there have been
a lot of other changes, she
stated.
One of Dixons yearly
tasks is to help the county
commissioners with the annu-
al budget. Over the years,
she has worked with many
different commissioners on
the process, but this part of
her job has remained fairly
stable.
The budgeting process
hasnt really changed, she
insisted. Of course, we do it
on computer now but as far
as the data and what we start
out with and the input from
the departments, the process
hasnt changed much except
that the numbers have gotten
bigger.
The auditors part is to col-
lect the departmental requests
and provide the figures head-
ed into budget consideration.
Lately, the county has been
looking at budget deficits
once the figures are put into
place but Dixon said that is
nothing new. There usually
is a deficit at budget time
because everybody asks for
what they want and every-
body knows they arent really
going to get all they ask for,
she explained. But in the
last 10 years weve had a
deficit budget but that has to
be made up by appropriation
time in January. So, if we
dont have enough carryover
to pick that up, then we have
to cut the budget.

Ohio Senate gave pay raises after cuts
By JULIE CARR SMYTH
The Associated Press
COLUMBUS Staffers
for both Republicans and
Democrats in the Ohio Senate
got pay raises this summer in
the aftermath of state budget
cuts and the passage of a
law limiting public employee
unions, state records show.
Payroll data reviewed by
The Associated Press show
19 Senate caucus employees
not quite 20 percent of the
staff got pay hikes since
July worth about $160,000
combined. Four employees
the chief of staff, dep-
uty chief of staff, finance
director, and clerk saw
bumps of more than $8,000 a
year each on salaries already
around $100,000.
The raises were first report-
ed Tuesday on the liberal
political blog Plunderbund.
Republican Senate
President Tom Niehaus said
he ordered a pay review in
December after experienced
staff members began leav-
ing during the transition of
administrations. He says he
was looking to see if he could
make pay for experienced
employees more competitive
so the Senate could retain
their expertise.
Every member of senior
staff in our caucus was
approached about leaving,
and we almost lost several
other key staff members,
Niehaus said. It became
obvious when I heard what
some of the offers were
that they were in part leav-
ing because of money, so I
asked our chief of staff, Matt
Schuler, to do a review of
salaries.
Niehaus said many among
caucus staff of both parties
were determined to be uncom-
petitive with the private sec-
tor and certain choice govern-
ment positions, he said. Ohio
Gov. John Kasich, a fellow
Republican, was paying sala-
ries for some key positions
above those of his predeces-
sor, Democrat Ted Strickland
though his office says its
overall budget was reduced.
The GOP had also taken over
other statewide offices where
Senate staff were landing top
jobs.
Niehaus said the Senate
was able to bestow the raises
without increasing its bud-
get because the chamber has
saved money over the years
by working efficiently, shar-
ing resources, and being fru-
gal on equipment and other
amenities. It waited until the
budget passed to make sure
that was the case, he said.
In an Aug. 4 email
to Schuler, the Senate
Democrats chief of staff,
Amanda Hoyt, requested rais-
es for nine top aides. The AP
obtained the email through a
records request.
Hoyt listed a dozen office
staffers whom she thought
deserved raises.
In a statement Wednesday,
Hoyt said Democrats sought
pay increases to maintain
some semblance of parity
with Senate Republicans,
who have held the chambers
majority since 1985, and make
more. She also noted that pay

Killer of Van Wert woman dies in prison
By ED GEBERT
Staff writer
NEW CASTLE, Ind.
He was responsible for one
of the most notorious crimes
in the Van Wert area. Now he
is dead, completely serving a
life sentence.
The Indiana Department
of Corrections has con-
firmed that Ernest R. Tope
died last week in New Castle
Correctional Facility in cen-
tral Indiana. Topes cause of
death is officially listed as
end-stage lung cancer. He
was 58.
Tope was responsible
for the abduction, rape and
murder of Cheryl Felger of
Van Wert on Good Friday of
1974. The 19-year-old Felger
was riding her bicycle to a
friends house when she was
confronted by Tope, then 21,
and his accomplice, Timothy
Allen Heckert. She was appar-
ently coerced into Heckerts
car and was driven across
the state line into Indiana.
According to Heckert, both
men raped the young woman
but it was Tope who decided
to kill her. The autopsy report
stated that Felgers body had
90-95 stab wounds. Her body
was found near a deserted
barn west of Berne, Indiana.
Earlier this year, Tope was
denied parole. He was serv-
ing a life sentence for first-
degree murder issued from

By NICHOLAS
K. GERANIOS
SPOKANE, Wash. A
man with extensive ties to
white supremacists pleaded
guilty Wednesday to federal
charges he planted a bomb
that was intended to hurl poi-
son-laced shrapnel into the
multicultural crowd marching
in a Martin Luther King Jr.
Day parade last January.
Kevin Harpham, 37,
reached a deal with federal
prosecutors for a recom-
mended sentencing range of
27 to 32 years in prison just
days before his trial was to
begin in U.S. District Court.
The pipe bomb was load-
ed with lead fishing weights
coated in rat poison, which
can inhibit blood clotting in
wounds, officials have said.
Harpham told U.S.
District Court Judge Justin
Quackenbush that it took
him about a month to build
the bomb. He acknowledged
placing the device along the
parade route in an attempt to
commit a hate crime.
The backpack bomb was
discovered before the parade
by event workers in down-
town Spokane and disabled
before it could explode.
The annual parade drew a
crowd of about 2,000 adults
and children on a cold winter
morning, and was forced onto
an alternative route after the
bomb was found. Harpham
walked in the parade and took
pictures of young black chil-
dren and of a Jewish man
who was wearing a yarmulke,
prosecutors have said.
This community was
terrorized on Jan. 17 when
this occurred, U.S. Attorney
Mike Ormsby said after the
hearing. Hopefully the heal-
ing that needs to occur as a
result of this happening can
begin.
Harpham acted alone,
Ormsby said.
There is no evidence
to suggest anyone else was
involved in this event, he
said.
Ormsby praised the vari-
ous law enforcement agen-
cies that gathered evidence
leading to Harphams arrest
on March 9. There was no
particular tip that led officers
to Harpham, Ormsby said.
Rather, it was evidence from
the bomb itself, he said.
The detonator was a
remote car starter purchased
over the Internet. The shrap-
nel that would have maimed
victims was purchased from
Walmart. Harphams DNA
was on the handle of the
backpack that held the bomb.
After the arrest, officers found
deleted photos in a digital
camera that included pictures
of Harpham and other march-
ers at the parade.
A key was discovering
huge numbers of postings by
Harpham, using a pen name,
over a period of years on a white
supremacist website called
Vanguard News Network.
He told others he was a
white supremacist and white
separatist, said assistant U.S.
Attorney Joe Harrington.
The bomb was planted
to further his racist beliefs,
Harrington told the judge.
The judge asked Harpham if
he placed the bomb in an effort
to hurt people because of their
race, color or national origin.
Yes, Harpham replied.
Ormsby said Harpham has
offered no explanation for
why he chose to commit a
hate crime now.
The plea deal charged
Harpham with attempted use
of a weapon of mass destruc-
tion, and the hate crime of
placing the bomb in an effort
to target minorities. Harpham
spoke in a clear voice when
he said guilty to each of the
two counts.
He will be sentenced Nov.
30.

Dixon
(Continued from page 1)
For many people, num-
bers and accounting entries
are chores, but Dixon is
at home working with fig-
ures. Her office in the Van
Wert County Courthouse is
arranged to allow her quick
access to spreadsheets and
reports.
She admitted, Personally,
I like the bookkeeping depart-
ment. Thats mostly what I
do bookkeeping, taxation
and distribution of the tax
dollars, I do that, too. The
commissioners come to me
for figures, as they should.
Thats what I work in, and
Im happy to help them with
figures.
Dixon realizes she is also
a rarity in Van Wert County
government a Democrat.
With every other elected
county post in control of the
G.O.P., Dixon said the politi-
cal differences simply do not
matter at this level.
For the most part, the
officials in Van Wert County
get along with the rest of
them, Dixon stressed. They
treat me just like everybody
else. Everyone is very good
to our office and we all try to
get along.
Dixon and her team of
full-time and part-time work-
ers handle a lot of work in the
county. Besides budgeting and
real estate assessments, the
auditors office sells licenses,
checks on vendors weights
and measures, and serves as
agent on estate taxes.
Asked if there was some-
thing about her job she would
like to change, Dixon replied,
The hardest thing about this
job is reappraisal. But you
cant change it because you
have to do it by law. But it is
very hard to see peoples taxes
go up and have to explain to
them why they went up. But
I have no idea how to change
that.
Away from the office,
Dixons life focuses on fam-
ily. Her grandchildren are
frequent visitors, and family
trips and outings are sched-
uled when possible.
After all these years in
the auditors office, both as a
deputy and as auditor, Dixon
is coy about how much lon-
ger she would like to stay in
office.
Well, I have three years
left on this term, she laughed.
That gives me three more
years to think about it!
Allen County (IN) Circuit
Court. At the time of the trial,
Indiana did not have the death
penalty, so Tope was eligible for
parole every five years during
his time at prisons in Pendleton
and Michigan City, Indiana. A
local campaign to keep Tope
behind bars was launched by
Kay (Felger) Miller, Cheryls
younger sister. Many local resi-
dents signed petitions placed at
area restaurants and convenience
stores to support the effort to
urge the parole board to deny
Topes request for parole.
According to Indiana Dept.
of Corrections Media Liaison
Amy Lanum, Tope was sent to
Wishard Hospital in Indianapolis
on Aug. 22 and was returned to
Pendleton on Aug. 29 for hos-
pice care. He died the next day.
In recent years, Tope sued
the Indiana Dept. of Corrections
in an effort to overturn a ban
on magazines featuring nudity
and sexual conduct in the prison
system and in a separate class
action suit was a lead plaintiff
in a case challenging conditions
at the Pendleton Correctional/
Industrial Facility.
Murder
levels in Ohios Legislature
rank near the bottom among
similarly sized states.
Republican House Speaker
William Batchelder has not
given raises to any staff mem-
bers this year, said spokesman
Mike Dittoe.
As the Senate pay review
was under way, the chamber
was considering two pertinent
bills: a $50 billion-plus state
budget with a looming multi-
billion deficit; and a collective
bargaining overhaul that limit-
ed the ability of public workers
to negotiate for wages, working
conditions and pension ben-
efits.
During debate over the col-
lective bargaining overhaul,
Niehaus announced the Senate
would concede a key point and
allow unions to still negotiate
for wages. Sick days, working
conditions, and pensions would
still be off the table.
Its quite hypocritical that
the Ohio Senate started looking
at pay raises, they were pro-
posing legislation that wouldnt
allow public workers to even
negotiate pay, said Brian
Rothenberg, executive director
of ProgressOhio, a liberal pol-
icy group. Does anyone over
there walk the walk as well as
talk the talk?
Niehaus said he sees noth-
ing hypocritical about the
raises.
I would say its consistent,
he said. What Senate Bill 5
does is ask that people be paid
based on performance. These
were clearly performance-based
pay increases. Secondly, what
were asking people to do in
Senate Bill 5 is make efficient

WASHINGTON
Americas sickly economy
can be healed with jobs,
jobs and more jobs. On that,
everyone agrees. Figuring out
how to produce them is what
is stumping everyone.
Other than letting time take
its course, Washington lacks
a clear answer on how to cre-
ate permanent new jobs on
a national scale. Forecasters
suggest it will take 20 million
new jobs over the next 10
years just to repair recession
damage and to keep pace with
adult population growth.
Recent streams of bleak
employment and economic
data drive home the difficulty
of the challenge.
As President Barack
Obama prepares to tackle jobs
issues in a speech to Congress
today, deep divisions persist
among economic policymak-
ers on just how to spur job
growth. The speech comes
as national polls show a clear
majority of those surveyed
say they disapprove of the
way Obama is handling the
economy.
Lots of schemes have been
tried or floated first under
Republican President George
W. Bush and now under
Democrat Obama. More than
$2 trillion has been plowed
into stimulus spending, loans
and bailouts to banks, auto
companies and other corpo-
rations, tax cuts for individu-
als and businesses, mortgage
refinancing assistance and
aid to state and local govern-
ments.
But so far, the needle has
barely moved on unemploy-
ment, which has stayed near
or above a frightening reces-
sion-level 9 percent for 29
months. It was 9.1 percent in
August, same as the month
before, with zero net job
gains during the month.
Neither side can make
a definitive case that they
really know what theyre
doing, said Douglas Holtz-
Eakin, a former director of the
Congressional Budget Office
and top economic adviser to
2008 GOP presidential nomi-
nee Sen. John McCain.
Holtz-Eakin said that
while different theories
abound, economists have yet
to satisfactorily explain busi-
ness cycles, predict the dura-
tion of recessions or explain
why some nations econo-
mies grow while others do
not. Its complicated by the
fact that we dont live in a
textbook world and that, in
fact, the governments capac-
ity to do stuff is not infinitely
wide.
Obama favors a mix of
new short-term deficit spend-
ing on tax breaks and jobs
programs, including ones
for roads, bridges and other
infrastructure, to keep the
economy from falling back
into a recession, combined
with longer-term steps to trim
ballooning deficits.
He will make the claim
that these are measures that
have historically had biparti-
san support, can be acted on
very quickly by Congress and
can have a very quick and
positive impact on the econo-
my and employment, White
House spokesman Jay Carney
said Wednesday. Carney said
that Obamas set of proposals
for both short-term job cre-
ation and longer-term deficit
reduction are things that
Americans across the board
are demanding.
The need for infrastruc-
ture jobs is one of the few
areas where theres anything
approaching consensus. The
concept has won the sup-
port not only of Obama, but
such rival groups as the U.S.
Chamber of Commerce and
the AFL-CIO. The differenc-
es come in how to pay for it.
The administration is run-
ning out of ammunition to
invigorate the economy before
the November 2012 presiden-
tial election, especially with a
Congress that seems geared
to block any Obama mea-
sures that increase govern-
ment spending. The Federal
Reserve also has few options
left, having kept interest rates
at near zero for more than
two years.
Getting back to even on
jobs divides US leaders
By ALAN FRAM
WASHINGTON
Democrats on a special con-
gressional debt-reduction
supercommittee want it to
include jobs creation as part
of its work, a task that would
complicate the newly created
panels already formidable
assignment.
The bipartisan, 12-mem-
ber committee was scheduled
to hold its opening meeting
today, a session that was sup-
posed to be limited to opening
statements and approval of its
rules. The initial meeting was
expected to be far less rancor-
ous than this summers bitter
partisan brawl over extending
the federal debt ceiling, which
ended with a deal between
President Barack Obama and
lawmakers that created the
supercommittee.
The panel is charged with
finding, by Thanksgiving,
$1.5 trillion in savings over
the next decade, no easy task
given the capitals sharp par-
tisan divisions. Democrats
want to produce a mix of
spending cuts and revenue
increases. Republicans have
insisted they would oppose
tax increases, though some
have indicated they might
accept the closing of some
tax loopholes.
Failure is not an option,
Senate Minority Leader
Mitch McConnell, R-Ky.,
said Wednesday. He said
congressional leaders have
appointed serious lawmakers
to the panel, and we fully
anticipate they will meet their
goals. And well see wheth-
er they can even go beyond
that.
Many in Washington,
though, are pessimistic that
the panel will take a seri-
ous bite out of the nations
enormous $14 trillion in
accumulated debt, espe-
cially with next years elec-
tions approaching. They note
that Democrats are ardently
against cuts in expensive
benefits like Medicare while
Republicans are adamantly
against higher taxes the
two most plentiful sources of
potential budget savings.
Politically, theres not a
lot of motivation on either
side to produce a major
package, said Chris Krueger,
a political analyst for the bro-
kerage firm MF Global.
Some Democrats on the
supercommittee, though,
want it to go even further and
address voters angst over
the nations stubborn unem-
ployment problem. With the
government reporting that the
economy essentially stopped
generating jobs last month,
next years presidential and
congressional elections are
pressuring lawmakers to do
something about it.
Its part of recov-
ery, said Senate Finance
Committee Chairman Max
Baucus, D-Mont., a super-
committee member who said
in a brief interview that he
wanted the panel to tackle job
creation. Growth will create
revenue, which would help
reduce the debt.
Im not saying it will
be easy, but it should be
addressed, he said.
Another supercommittee
member, Sen. John Kerry,
D-Mass., asked whether he
wanted the panel to tackle
job creation, said he may lay
out that thought at todays
meeting.
I dont think you can
reduce the deficit of the coun-
try to the scope that we need
to without growth of the
economy, he said.
A third Democrat on the
special committee, Rep.
James Clyburn, D-S.C., wrote
an opinion essay this week in
The Washington Post saying
deficit reduction must have
three components: jobs, cuts
and revenue.
Democrats want debt-cutting
panel to address jobs
Its part of
recovery. Growth
will create
revenue ... Im not
saying it will be
easy, but it should
be addressed.

WASHINGTON Two
years after the economic
stimulus law, about one-third
of the money authorized for
an energy efficiency program
has not been spent, a govern-
ment audit found.
The Energy Departments
inspector general said
Wednesday that state and
local governments have left
as much $879 million unspent
from a $2.7 billion program
intended to boost energy effi-
ciency and create jobs. That is
a big change from a year ago,
when less than 10 percent of
the grant money had been
spent, but is far below what
the Obama administration
projected when the stimulus
was approved in 2009.
Inspector General Gregory
Friedman said the unspent
money undermines a basic
premise of the stimulus law:
to promptly stimulate the
economy and create jobs.
The report came as
President Barack Obama pre-
pared for a major speech on
jobs today to a joint session
of Congress. He is consider-
ing a plan totaling about $300
billion in tax cuts and spend-
ing for 2012, people famil-
iar with the plan told The
Associated Press. The pack-
age is designed to increase
consumer demand, speed up
infrastructure construction
and spur hiring.
The report on the DOEs
energy efficiency program
found that less than $1.4
billion of the $2.7 billion
allocated for the Energy
Efficiency and Conservation
Block Grants program has
been spent as of last month.
Another $500 million had
been committed by state and
local governments but not
spent, the report said.
Even so, that leaves $879
million unspent and uncom-
mitted, a full two years
after the stimulus law was
approved. The program is
designed to help states, terri-
tories, local governments and
Indian tribes improve their
energy efficiency and reduce
fossil fuel emissions, through
projects such as retrofitting
buildings.
Ultimately if recipients
fail to utilize their Recovery
Act funding, the Energy
Department should termi-
nate the grants and return the
money to the U.S. Treasury,
Friedman said in the report.
The Energy Department
acknowledged a slow start,
but said aggressive outreach
to state and local govern-
ments has boosted spending
from $270 million last year
to about $1.4 billion as of
last month. The program has
helped pay for more than
5,400 jobs.
Damien LaVera, a spokes-
man for Energy Secretary
Steven Chu, said the depart-
ment is committed to ensur-
ing that energy efficiency and
conservation block grants are
spent quickly, responsibly
and in concurrence with local
laws and regulations.
Govt audit: Stimulus funds for
energy go unspent
WASHINGTON (AP) A
powerful Senate panel moved
to freeze the Pentagons budget
on Wednesday, while House
Republicans signaled that they
will scale back cuts to domes-
tic programs like housing sub-
sidies as Congress sets to work
on implementing last months
budget deal.
At the same time, a top
House GOP leader explicitly
endorsed a new framework for
disaster aid agreed to in the
same bipartisan budget pact
that would permit billions of
dollars to be added to the bud-
get for victims of Hurricane
Irene and disasters dating back
to Hurricane Katrina.
All of the steps involve
writing the details of the day-
to-day budgets for Cabinet
agencies for the budget year
beginning Oct. 1. The work
by the House and Senate
appropriations committees is
separate from a congressional
supercommittee charged with
finding $1.2 trillion of more
in deficit cuts over the coming
decade. The supercommittee
officially begins work today.
The move on defense
spending by the Democratic-
led Senate Appropriations
Committee would freeze the
amount of money available
for an upcoming measure at
$513 billion, the same amount
provided in an April budget
law. The actual details wont
be released until the Pentagon
funding measure is voted on
later, but the move is sure
to rile defense hawks in the
House.
Weve already cut our
capacity, our desire, our ability
to do things. Weve downsized
and cut back and cut back,
said House Armed Services
Committee Chairman Howard
Buck McKeon, R-Calif. No
GOP senators complained,
however.
The welter of activity comes
as Congress returns from an
August recess to confront a
lengthy roster of unfinished
business, including legisla-
tion to set the annual operat-
ing budgets of every Cabinet
agency.
Last months budget pact
has brought a measure of peace
to the appropriations process
for 2012, which was the sub-
ject of a highly contentious
battle earlier this year, when
the tea party-driven House
and President Barack Obama
clashed for weeks before
agreeing on agency budgets
for the current budget year.
The budget pact requires
a relatively small, $7 billion
cut to the total amount of
money available for agency
budgets and requires that they
be spread relatively equally
between security and non-
security accounts. That bud-
get cap was attached to last
months measure increasing
the debt limit and establishing
the budget supercommittee.
According to a recent report
by the White House budget
office, House Republicans
need to strip $10 billion from
previously approved bills
funding security programs
in order to comply with the
budget pact. Such programs
include defense, veterans pro-
grams and foreign aid, among
others.
On Wednesday, the Senate
panel gave overwhelming
approval, 29-1, to three spend-
ing bills covering agricul-
ture, homeland security, and
energy and water programs.

DELPHOS The St.
Johns Blue Jays volleyball
team was looking to stay with
the Lima Central Catholic
Thunderbirds Wednesday
night at the Bob A. Arnzen
Gymnasium but fell in three
sets.
The Lady T-Birds grabbed
a 25-14, 25-9, 25-14 sweep of
the Lady Jays.
Delphos falls to 2-3, while
LCC stands at 4-2 on the
season.
The Thunderbirds got off
quickly in set 1 and never
looked back, scoring seven
straight points, including
six straight aces by setter
Madison George. St. Johns
showed improvement mid-
way through the set with
two blocks by senior Shelby
Reindel but couldnt catch up
as LCC won the first set in
relatively easy fashion.
Madison does a really
good job getting the ball to
the hitters, LCC head coach
Wes Horstman said. Our hit-
ting percentage was up tonight
and that is a good attribute to
the setter. I also think she had
at least eight aces.
Set two started off just like
the first in LCCs favor
with a Sarah Pajka kill giv-
ing her team a 4-2 lead. Four
second-set kills by senior
Tylyn Taylor gave her team
an even easier victory in the
middle set.
The Blue Jays scored the
first point of set three with a
Bailie Hulihan kill but never
got the chance to regain the
lead as LCC roared out to
a controlling 18-7 lead. St.
Johns junior libero, Katrina
Etzkorn, gave her team a spark
with back-to-back digs but
the T-Birds George dished
out an assist to Taylor, who
had four kills in set three, to
help send the visitors onto the
sweep.
As for the Blue Jays, head
coach Kellie Sterling believes
her team needs to live by the
motto they came up with, All
out, all game, all season.
We have our ups and
downs, she added. We just
have to know that with every
team, we have to come out
ready to play and give it all
we got.
Reindel had seven blocks
for St. Johns, while Etzkorn
added 10 digs.
Taylor led the T-Birds
with 12 kills, along with
Pajka who contributed to 11
kills. George played superbly
as she dished out 27 assists
and 10 aces. Senior libero
Kathryn Ferry had a team-
best 17 digs.
It was a really good
game, Horstman added. We
were very aggressive with our
serving and offensively we
played a good game.
The junior varsity match
ended in Lima Central
Catholics favor, 25-16,
21-25, 25-17.
The Blue Jays hosts
Marion Local today, with a
5:30 p.m. JV start; LCC visits
Lima Senior Saturday for a
tri-match against Elida and
Lima Senior.

Lady Pirates knock off

scored twice in the second
half to dispatch Fort Jennings
3-1 in Putnam County
League action Wednesday at
Continental.
Junior Macy Schroeder
scored the Musketeers (3-1-
0, 1-1-0 PCL) only goal, at
12:54 of the first half.
The Pirates had
taken the lead just
2:10 earlier on

However, they
scored twice in the
second half, both
times by Taylor
Niese: at 32:54, on an assist
from Vanessa Koppenhofer;
and the dagger at 6:12 cour-
tesy of a pass from Caitlin
Geckle.
The shots on-goal were
even 11-11.
Kelsey Von Lehmden had
nine saves for the visitors and
Leva Weller had
six for the home

It was a tale

Wildcats (5-2-0, 0-2-0).
Melissa Michel saved five

Kalida entertains Fort

CLEVELAND Victor
Martinez and the Detroit Tigers
found a way to pick up Justin
Verlander.
Verlander won his 10th
straight start and earned his
22nd victory overall, helped
when Martinez hit a late grand
slam that sent the Tigers over
the Cleveland Indians 8-6
Wednesday.
The AL Central-leading
Tigers completed a 3-game
sweep and won their sixth in
a row.
What a great win, said
Verlander, who leaped off the
bench and cheered Martinezs
shot that highlighted a 5-run
rally in the seventh inning.
When he hit it, I said, Its
that kind of year.
Verlander (22-5) gave
up a pair of 2-run homers to
Shelley Duncan and trailed 4-2
before Detroit rallied against
Justin Masterson (11-9) and
the Indians bullpen. Verlander
gave up four runs and three
hits in six innings, striking out
eight.
Verlander is the first Detroit
pitcher to win 10 consecutive
decisions since Jack Morris
in 1983, and first to win 10
straight starts since Hall-of-
Famer Hal Newhouser in 1946.
His 22 wins are the most for
a Detroit pitcher since Joe
Coleman went 23-15 in 1973.
Joaquin Benoit, the Tigers
setup man, struck out two in a
perfect inning and has a 1.58
ERA over his last 43 outings.
Jose Valverde pitched a perfect
ninth for his 42nd save, tying
Todd Jones team record set in
2000. Valverde has not blown
a save this year.
Martinez went 5-for-13
with two homers and 10 RBIs
in the sweep of his former team
as Detroit dropped Cleveland 9
1/2 games back. The Tigers are
16-4 since Aug. 19, going 6-0
against Cleveland and sweep-
ing three in a row from the
Chicago White Sox to take
command of the division.
Masterson left after Detroit
loaded the bases on two singles
around Duncans error at first
base in the seventh. Joe Smith
came on and yielded Miguel
Cabreras RBI single that got
the Tigers within 4-3.
Lefty Tony Sipp replaced
Smith and the switch-hitting
Martinez turned around to
the right side and hit the first
pitch into the left-field seats
for his second career slam,
both against the Indians. The
first was Oct. 3, 2009, for
Boston, a couple of months
after Cleveland traded him to
the Red Sox.
Martinez, Cabrera and Alex
Avila each had two of Detroits
13 hits. The Tigers have had 10
or more hits in 11 of their last
13 games and 31 of 51 games
since the All-Star break.
Duncan had his second
2-homer game this week and
fourth of his career. He also
did it Sunday in Kansas City.
He came in just 2-for-11
(.182) with four strikeouts in
his career against Verlander
before connecting in the second
for a 2-0 lead. The two runs
were more than the Indians
scored in seven of Mastersons
starts this year.
Detroit tied it at 2 in the
fourth. Cabrera singled with
one out for the Tigers first
hit and was doubled to third
by Martinez. Cabrera scored
on a sacrifice fly by Avila and
Wilson Betemit doubled home
Martinez.
Jim Thome lined a 2-out
double high off the wall in left-
center in the Indians fourth.
Duncan followed with his
eighth homer, a towering shot
to left for a 4-2 lead.
Lonnie Chisenhalls 2-run
homer off Tigers reliever Phil
Coke got Cleveland within 7-6
in the bottom of the seventh.
Don Kellys RBI triple made it
8-6 in the ninth.
Blue Jays 11, Red Sox 10
TORONTO Edwin
Encarnacion hit a tie-breaking
double in the eighth inning and
Toronto rallied to deny Tim
Verlander wins 22nd; Martinez, Tigers slam Indians
CHICAGO Carlos Pena
focused on staying calm when
he came to the plate with
two runners on in a tie game
Wednesday night.
That quiet moment of con-
centration quickly turned into a
jubilant jaunt around the bases.
Pena hit a 3-run homer in
the eighth inning to send the
Chicago Cubs to a 6-3 victory
over the Cincinnati Reds.
I think sometimes in those
situations, we tend to get a
little bit anxious and try to do
too much, he said. So my
whole role there was stay under
control and not try to save the
world, you know.
Usually when were able
to stay calm, we give ourselves
the best opportunity possible to
succeed.
Aramis Ramirez had a 2-run
double for Chicago, which
took 2-of-3 against Cincinnati
to earn a split of its 6-game
homestand. Starlin Castro and
DJ LeMahieu each had two hits
for the Cubs.
Castro sparked the win-
ning rally with a leadoff single
against Logan Ondrusek (4-5).
Reed Johnson moved Castro to
second with a sacrifice before
the Reds decided to intention-
ally walk Ramirez and bring in
left-hander Bill Bray to face the
lefty-batting Pena.
Big mistake, at least
Wednesday night.
Pena pulled Brays first
pitch onto Sheffield Avenue
for his 26th homer and third in
his last eight games. The big
first baseman began the day
with a .135 average against
lefties and Bray was holding
lefty batters to a .188 average.
But this time it didnt work out
for the Reds.
The Reds chased Cubs
starter Ryan Dempster with
three consecutive hits to begin
the seventh inning, including
pitcher Johnny Cuetos lead-
off infield single. Votto hit a
sacrifice fly off James Russell
to trim Chicagos lead to 3-2
and Jay Bruce followed with
a bouncer down the third-base
line for an RBI double.
The Cubs brought the infield
in for Yonder Alonso, who had
three hits for the Reds. He hit a
fly ball to medium center field.
Johnson got in good position,
brought it in, then fired a strong
throw to catcher Koyie Hill that
cut down Edgar Renteria at the
plate.
Votto went 2-for-4 and
drove in a run.
Chicago also got a big
inning-ending double play
in the sixth when Ramon
Hernandez lined to shortstop
Castro, who threw to LeMahieu
before Alonso could get back
to second base.
Dempster allowed 10 hits
matching a season high and
is winless in his last five starts.
Kerry Wood (2-5) pitched a
scoreless eighth for the victory
and Carlos Marmol worked a
1-2-3 ninth for his 33rd save.
Pena doubled and scored
on LeMahieus hit in the fifth;
the Cubs went ahead 3-1 on
Ramirezs clutch double in the
sixth.
Cueto allowed seven hits
in seven innings and his major
league-leading ERA increased
from 2.29 to 2.36.
Cincinnati pushed across
a run after Dempster quickly
retired the first two batters of
the game. Votto hit a well-
placed fly ball to left that land-
ed in front of Alfonso Soriano,
then rolled past him for a triple.
Bruce walked before Alonso
hit a liner up the middle for an
RBI single.
Phillies 3, Braves 2
PHILADELPHIA Pinch-
hitter Ross Gload hit an RBI
single with one out in the
bottom of the ninth and the
Philadelphia Phillies beat the
Atlanta Braves 3-2 Wednesday
night to complete a 3-game
sweep and extend their lead to
10 1/2 games in the NL East.
The major league-leading
Phillies (91-48) reduced their
magic number to 12 for clinch-

DELPHOS Experience
versus inexperience.
The Miller City volleyball
team is loaded with it 10
seniors and five juniors on
its varsity roster while
Jeffersons has very little:
two seniors, four juniors, five
sophomores and two fresh-
men.
Miller City proved far
steadier Wednesday night
at Jefferson High School,
sweeping the Lady Jeffcats
25-12, 25-12, 25-14.
The visitors (3-0) had the
better starts in all three sets. In
the first, the Red and Whites
hitting errors crept in early
and often, accounting for 10
of their foes points. As well,
the visitors got four of their
points via aces (12 for the
night versus 6 errors). They
used three runs of 5-0 to take
command and when senior
Marissa Vennekotter (8 kills)
pushed one just over the net
and into the open floor, the
visitors had set 1.
Set two wasnt much dif-
ferent, except that a hitting
error on the first volley gave
senior Samantha Michel the
serve. She had two aces and
Vennekotter a kill as the visi-
tors built a 7-0 edge. The Red
and White werent done as
they rallied within 12-9 on
a hitting error by the guests.
However, a missed serve
gave the serve and the
momentum back to the
guests and four consecutive
aces by junior Bailey Dangler
sent them on their way. A
hitting error the 13th of
the set by the Jeffcats on
set point gave a 2-set lead to
Miller City.
Set three didnt seem to
offer much different than the
previous two, though Miller
Citys attack started to find
its mark on a more regu-
lar basis. Senior setter Emily
Doster (17 assists) began to
find Vennekotter and her
teammates at the net. A 6-0
spurt sparked by two
more aces from senior Taylor
Niese gave the visitors an
11-3 spread and it was just a
matter of time from then on.
A hitting error the 32nd of
the night by the hosts put
the match away.
We had two girls back
with limited varsity experi-
ence from last year; we are
very young and inexperi-
enced. A team like Miller
City out us on our heels a lot,
first-year Jefferson coach Joy
Early noted. Were building
the basics. Our hitters are
learning the proper approach,
the swing, the snap of the
wrist, everything; thats why
were making those mistakes
but that will eventually come.
Were going to take some
lumps until we simply get
the varsity experience, how
to play at this speed of the
game.
Sophomore Rileigh
Stickwell led the hosts (1-2)
with four kills and two stiff-
kills, while senior Nadine
Clarkson had three kills.
We have a lot of girls that
played a lot of volleyball for
us the last couple of years.
Were pretty steady and
poised out there; we know
what were doing, Miller
City first-year coach Cheryl
Kreinbrink explained. As
we get more practice time,
were finding out we have a
lot of options at the net and
our back row is pretty solid.
We dont aim for aces; we
focus on where were going
and who were serving to.
Any coach will take aces; we
just dont necessarily look for
them.
Senior Courtney Niese
had four kills for the visitors,
while senior Kelsey Tripp
had three stuff-kills.
In the junior varsity match-
up, the visitors (3-0) escaped
with a 25-10, 19-25, 25-20
victory over the hosts (2-1).
Both teams are back in
action tonight: Jefferson at
Ottoville and Miller City
hosting Cory-Rawson. Both
commence with 6 p.m. JV
starts.
Veteran Miller City sweeps
youthful Jefferson volleyballers
Wakefield his 200th career
win.
Toronto trailed 8-6 heading
into the eighth against Daniel
Bard (2-6). The Blue Jays tied
it when Bard issued consecu-
tive walks with the bases load-
ed to Eric Thames and Jose
Bautista. Matt Albers came on
and gave up a 3-run double to
Encarnacion.
Encarnacion went 2-for-
4 with a sacrifice fly and
matched his career-high with
five RBIs.
Shawn Camp (4-3) pitched
one inning for the win and
Frank Francisco survived a
2-run ninth to record his 13th
save.
Jacoby Ellsbury homered
and finished with four hits
and David Ortiz and Adrian
Gonzalez also went deep but
the Red Sox couldnt give
Wakefield his first win since
July 24 against Seattle.
Wakefield allowed five
runs, four earned, and three
hits in five innings.
Angels 3, Mariners 1
ANAHEIM, Calif. Maicer
Izturis hit a go-ahead, 2-run double
in the eighth inning to reward Los
Angeles Jerome Williams for pitch-
ing eight innings of 1-hit ball.
Peter Bourjos added a run-
scoring single in the eighth as Los
Angeles trimmed the Texas Rangers
AL West lead to 2 1/2 games with its
10th win in 12 home games.
Williams (3-0) narrowly out-
dueled Seattle rookie left-hander
Charlie Furbush (3-8), who held the
Angels scoreless until the eighth.
Trayvon Robinsons sixth-inning
leadoff homer was the Mariners
only hit off Williams, a journeyman
right-hander who has made three
strong starts for Los Angeles down
the playoff stretch. Williams struck
out five and walked one. Jordan
Walden pitched a hitless ninth for
his 29th save.
Furbush yielded five hits and one
walk, throwing 100 pitches in the
longest start of his career.
Athletics 7, Royals 0
OAKLAND, Calif. Guillermo
Moscoso held Kansas City hitless
until rookie Salvador Perez singled
with two outs in the eighth inning.
Moscoso (8-8) wound up allow-
ing two hits in 8 2/3 innings. The
right-hander walked one and struck
out four. He set an Oakland record
by retiring 30 consecutive hitters
the final 13 against Seattle last
Friday and the first 17 against the
Royals. He walked Kansas Citys
Alcides Escobar with two outs in
the sixth.
Perez broke up the no-hit bid by
lining a clean, opposite-field field
single to right.
Jemile Weeks had four hits and
drove in a run for the As, who won
for the fifth time in seven games.
Sizemore doubled home two runs
and Hideki Matsui, Josh Willingham
and Adam Rosales also drove in
runs.
Bruce Chen (10-7) allowed six
runs and eight hits in his 6 1/3
innings.
Orioles 5, Yankees 4, 11
innings
NEW YORK Baltimores
Mark Reynolds hit a tie-breaking
single in the 11th inning after strik-
ing out four times.
Less than 11 hours after the
Yankees completed a rain-delayed
victory, the teams were back at it.
The showers returned, too, though
the game started on time and was
never interrupted.
Nolan Reimold hit a 2-run homer
off A.J. Burnett and the Orioles took
advantage of four Yankees errors.
New York put runners at the cor-
ners with two outs in the bottom of
the 11th but pinch-hitter Eric Chavez
hit into a forceout to end the game
after 4 hours, 23 minutes.
Pedro Strop (1-1) worked 1 1/3
scoreless innings and Jim Johnson
got three outs for his third save.
Reynolds 2-out RBI single came
off Hector Noesi (2-1).
Rays 5, Rangers 4, 10 innings
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla.
Desmond Jennings homered on the
first pitch in the bottom of the 10th
for Tampa Bay.
Jennings won the game with his
ninth homer of the season off Mark
Lowe (2-3). The win was the 1,000th
overall for the Tampa Bay franchise.
ing their fifth straight division title.
They are 43 games above .500 for
the first time in franchise history.
It may be a costly win for the
Phillies because 5-time All-Star
Chase Utley left the game for pre-
cautionary reasons for a possible
concussion, two innings after he was
hit in the helmet by a pitch from Eric
OFlaherty.
Raul Ibanez drew a 1-out walk
off Peter Moylan (1-1) in the ninth.
Carlos Ruiz followed with a single
to left. Gload then ripped a hard
grounder down the right-field line to
score Ibanez.
Ryan Madson (4-2) pitched a
scoreless ninth to earn the win after
Roy Oswalt tossed seven strong
innings.
Padres 3, Giants 1
SAN DIEGO Aaron Harang
threw seven strong innings and
Cameron Maybin had two hits and
an RBI as the Padres dealt a big blow
to the Giants fading playoff hopes.
The Giants, who have 19 games
left, came into the game trailing NL
West-leading Arizona by six games.
San Francisco rookie Brett Pill
homered for a second straight game
after he hit a home run Tuesday night
in his first major-league at-bat.
Will Venable had a solo homer
and scored twice, while Maybin dou-
bled and tripled in a run in the ninth.
The Padres got clutch defensive
plays by Venable and Maybin.
Mets 1, Marlins 0
MIAMI (AP) R.A. Dickey
made an early run stand up, blanking
Florida for seven innings and pitch-
ing the Mets past the Marlins.
Jose Reyes led off the game with
a single and scored on a 1-out double
down the left-field line by Lucas
Duda.
Dickey (8-11) and relievers Josh
Stinson and Manny Acosta com-
bined on a 5-hitter. Dickey gave up
four hits and three walks. The knuck-
leballer struck out three.
The Mets also managed just five
hits. The Mets played their final
game at the Marlins stadium before
Florida moves into a new home next
season. The Mets finished 75-74 at
the park the Marlins had shared with
the Miami Dolphins since 1993.
Brad Hand (1-6) allowed one
run, three hits and four walks in six
innings.
Pirates 5, Astros 4
PITTSBURGH Andrew
McCutchen homered twice, pinch-
hitter Jason Jaramillo singled home
the go-ahead run in the eighth inning
and the Pirates beat the Astros.
McCutchen hit a solo homer in
the first after Houston had taken a
3-0 lead and a 3-run shot in the fifth
to tie the game at 4.
Jaramillos single off Sergio
Escalona scored pinch-runner Chase
dArnaud, giving Clint Hurdle his
600th career managerial victory.
Carlos Lee, Matt Downs and
Clint Barmes homered for the Astros,
who have lost five of six.
The Pirates bullpen combined
for 5 2/3 innings of scoreless relief,
with Tony Watson (2-2) getting
the final out in the eighth and Joel
Hanrahan working a perfect ninth
for his 36th save in 39 opportunities.
Cardinals 2, Brewers 0
ST. LOUIS Chris Carpenter
pitched a 4-hitter to record his first
shutout in two years and Rafael
Furcal hit a solo home run as the
Cardinals defeated the Brewers.
After losing the series opener on
Monday, the Cardinals won the last
two to move within 8 1/2 games of
the first-place Brewers in the NL
Central with 19 games to play. The
Cardinals are 6 1/2 games behind
Atlanta in the wild card race with the
Braves coming to St. Louis on Friday
to start a 3-game series.
The benches and bullpens emp-
tied in the top of the ninth after
Carpenter (9-9) struck out Nyjer
Morgan. The two had words and
Morgan headed toward the mound
before being restrained by teammate
Prince Fielder. No punches were
thrown and Morgan was ejected.
Diamondbacks 5, Rockies 3
DENVER Joe Saunders tossed
six solid innings, Justin Upton and
Miguel Montero homered and the
Diamondbacks beat the Rockies.
Jon McDonald and Gerardo Parra
had two hits each for Arizona. The
Diamondbacks have won 13-of-15
and increased their lead in the NL
West to seven games.
INDIANS
REDS
By BARRY WILNER
The NFL looks for the big-
gest extravaganza it can find
for its kickoff game. It found a
doozy for tonight: New Orleans
at Green Bay.
Look for lots of points at
Lambeau Field as the two most
recent Super Bowl champions,
led by title game MVPs, go at
it. Also expect a huge, perhaps
record television audience for
the season-opener following
those 4 1/2 months of legalese
that only enhanced Americas
appetite for real football.
The Packers, 4-point favor-
ites, get back several players
who werent even involved in
the Super Bowl run. Most nota-
ble are tight end Jermichael
Finley and running back Ryan
Grant, both potential starters
and key contributors.
Add them to an offense led
by Aaron Rodgers and the Pack
will be formidable when it has
the ball.
Same thing, though, for the
Saints. Joining Drew Brees in
the backfield are rookie Mark
Ingram and explosive veteran
Darren Sproles, each bringing
their specialized touch to an
already potent attack. Dont
underestimate the importance
of standout center Olin Kreutz
being signed, too.
New Orleans also upgraded
its defense, is not fearful of
big road games, having won at
Atlanta and Tampa a year ago,
and wont have nearly as much
pressure on it as the Packers.
A successful trip to Titletown
USA for the Saints.
SAINTS, 30-28
Detroit (plus 2) at Tampa Bay

Looks like Lions have been made
a fashionable pick to be 2011s rising
team. Buccaneers are way ahead of
them right now, however.
BEST BET: BUCCANEERS,
21-17
Pittsburgh (plus 2 1/2) at
Baltimore
OK, not much of a gamble picking
defending AFC champs to handle their
archrivals and main divisional competi-
tion. But Steelers seem to be ahead of
Ravens at this point and any time they
are underdogs, they are worth picking.
UPSET SPECIAL: STEELERS,
17-13
Atlanta (minus 3) at Chicago
Simple logic here: both teams
won divisions last year, Falcons have
improved, Bears have not.
FALCONS, 23-17
Philadelphia (minus 5) at St. Louis
Rams are team to watch in NFC
West. Eagles are team to watch in
entire NFC. Still, this will be close.
EAGLES, 26-24
Cincinnati (plus 6 1/2) at
Cleveland
Even if Carson Palmer was quarter-
backing Bengals, Cleveland would be
the clear choice in this middling Ohio
skirmish.
BROWNS, 16-7
Dallas (plus 4 1/2) at N.Y. Jets
Cowboys began to right their ship
somewhat with win over Giants in
Meadowlands last midseason. Their
revamped OL must deal with perplex-
ing Rex Ryan blitzes.
JETS, 22-20
New England (minus 7) at Miami
Seems like lots of people remember
only Patriots postseason flop, not their
14-2 record of 2011.
PATRIOTS, 35-17
Indianapolis (plus 6 1/2) at
Houston
Once a matchup of most predict-
able of franchises against least predict-
able. With Peyton Manning out, theres
no certainty about Colts anymore.
TEXANS, 28-14
Tennessee (plus 3) at Jacksonville
Jaguars are in third year of retool-
ing, Titans in their first. But it was
Jags who cut their starting quarterback,
David Garrard, this week.
TITANS, 17-16
Buffalo (plus 6 1/2) at Kansas City
Questions about Chiefs QB Matt
Cassels health muddle this picture
just not enough to pick Bills to pull
off upset.
CHIEFS, 17-13
Carolina (plus 7) at Arizona
Big difference in QBs taking over
these teams: rookie Cam Newton for
Panthers versus experienced Kevin
Kolb for Cardinals.
CARDINALS, 30-20
Minnesota (plus 9) at San Diego
After last years turmoil, two teams
expecting to turn it around. Count on
Chargers to get early start toward that
goal.
CHARGERS, 33-17
Seattle (plus 5 1/2) at San
Francisco
Either of these teams could win
NFC West at 7-9 like Seahawks did
last year. Both could also finish last.
SEAHAWKS, 14-13
N.Y. Giants (minus 3) at
Washington
Main thing to avoid in preseason is
injuries. Giants did terrible job of that,
but still are stronger than Redskins.

The 49th annual Farm
Science Review will be held
Sept. 20-22 at the Molly
Caren Agricultural Center in
London.
Exhibitors will have their
products and services on dis-
play to help farmers learn
about and adopt the newest
technologies to improve their
on-farm efficiency and profit-
ability. This years Review
theme, Where Farmers Go to
Dream, will put the empha-
sis on agricultural innovation
and an effort to spark new
ideas and long-term visions
for farmers and the agricul-
tural industry.
The Farm Science Review
attracts more than 140,000
visitors from all over the coun-
try and Canada. Attendees
can look at the 4,000 product
lines from 600 commercial
exhibitors, and learn the latest
in agricultural research, con-
servation, family and nutri-
tion, as well as, gardening
and landscaping. Golf carts
are available to rent so older
farmers can move about more
easily.
Farmers can expect to see
field demonstrations despite
the heaviest rains in the state
this spring in more than a cen-
tury. Chuck Gamble, Farm
Science Review Manager,
stated that corn and soybeans
were planted by June 8, so
it is possible depending on
the weather that some crops
may be ready for harvest dur-
ing the Review. He also
indicated attendees will see
field demonstrations, such as
tillage and GPS, regardless
of whether harvesting is pos-
sible at that time.
In addition to the field
demonstrations, attendees
will also be able to see the
latest in agricultural technolo-
gy, livestock handling equip-
ment, grain and machine
storage and other outbuild-
ing structures. Landowner
conservation presentations in
the areas of wildlife, aquat-
ic, and woodland manage-
ment will be held daily at the
Gwynne Conservation Area.
The Ohio Land Improvement
Contractors Association will
provide demonstrations of
drainage systems, if harvest
takes place.
Tickets are available for
sale from any OSU Extension
office for $5 in advance, or
$8 at the gate. Children 5 and
under are free. The review is
open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on
Sept. 20-21 and from 8 a.m.
to 4 p.m. on Sept. 22.
Complete details about all
the events, exhibitors, field
demonstrations and educa-
tional sessions can be found
on the Farm Science Reviews
website at http://fsr.osu.edu

The Putnam County Extension office will offer the Master

intensive training in horticulture to interested gardeners who
then volunteer their time assisting with educational programs

and Perennials, Vegetable Gardening, Tree Selection and

Identification.
The classes will begin on Oct. 4 and run through Nov. 29.
The classes will be held 6-9 p.m. on Tuesday and Thursday.

Gardeners in the last 16 years and find that it is loads of fun
and excitement.
The fee for the course is $100 per person or $125 per
couple, which covers the cost of an extensive resource book
and other resource materials.
The classes will be held at the Putnam County Educational
Service Center, 124 Putnam Parkway in Ottawa.

By Sara Noel
There always seem to
be a few unpopped kernels
when you make popcorn.
You can save the kernels and
make your own homemade
microwave popcorn. Place
1/4 cup of popcorn kernels
in a paper bag. You can add
1/2 teaspoon of oil or omit
it altogether. If you add oil,
shake the bag to combine the
kernels and oil. Fold the bag
down a couple of times to
close it. Microwave on high
for up to two minutes. Listen
to the popping and remove
the bag from the microwave
when the popping slows
down.
The first reader tip shares
another method that follows
the directions (minus a couple
of steps because the kernels
have been heated before) on a
bag of popcorn for stove-top
popping.
Re-pop popcorn kernels:
We eat lots of popcorn, but
there are a lot of kernels that
dont pop. I have decided that
is such a waste, so I am going
to save the leftover kernels
until I get enough and then
cook the leftovers on the stove
top. For directions, visit:
http://condo-blues.blogspot.
com/2009/03/how-to-repop-
popcorn-kernels.html.
Also, remember to check
the store for day-old rotisserie
chickens. My store sells them
for $5.99 and when they are a
day old the store takes $2 off.
-- A.G.D., via forums
Note from Sara:
Oftentimes, the rotisserie
chickens arent even a day
old. Our stores discount them
later in the evening.
Shop ethnic markets:
Recently, I visited an Indian
grocery store. I bought
fenugreek seeds, 14 ounces
for $1.99. Ive been buying
by the capsule, but recently
discovered a new way to
take it. You pour 8 ounces
of boiling water over
approximately 1 teaspoon
of seeds and leave them
overnight in a container. Then
in the morning, strain and
reserve the seeds and drink
the liquid. Place the seeds in
a container and pour boiling
water over them again, let
steep, strain and drink later
in the afternoon. It can be
consumed hot or cold and
sweetened (with honey, for
example) if its too bitter for
your liking or unsweetened.
I also discovered the
store sold loose-leaf tea at a
substantial savings. And they
sell all kinds of rice. -- Polly,
Pennsylvania
Disclaimer from Sara:
Please consult your doctor
before consuming fenugreek
tea.

Grow a frugal garbage
garden: I had sweet potato
slips that grew roots and were
ready to plant in the garden.
I started these from a sweet
potato harvested from last
years garden, which was
started from the previous
years harvest that went back
about 10 years. I also planted
pinto beans from last years
harvest, which went back
to a single packet of seed
purchased over 10 years ago.
I plant a row along a fence of
two cattle panels and usually
harvest over a gallon of dried
beans -- not bad for a 69-
cent investment. The cattle
panels were given to us by a
neighbor, so the only cost to
us was a few fence posts. --

Horoscope
By Bernice Bede Osol
Health issues press
family nances
Dear Annie: My husband
has had several chronic ill-
nesses during the past 20
years. He takes 15 different
prescription medications a
day and has frequent doc-
tor visits and testing. Our
medical bills are through the
roof. When credit card inter-
est rates went up, we were
unable to meet our monthly
bills. We have cut out all
extras, but we are still having
major difficulties. Both of us
have full-time jobs and I work
as much overtime
as possible, but
we are sinking.
Bankruptcy is not
an option because
it wont leave us
enough money to
buy my husbands
medicines and we
earn too much to
qualify for govern-
ment assistance.
Last Christmas,
we were unable to
buy our teenage
son a gift, but still made sure
to get something for my hus-
bands nieces and nephews
because he refuses to tell his
family of our problems. His
parents are well off, and I have
suggested to my husband that
he ask them for some help,
but he wont hear of it. I even
recommended he borrow the
money and pay them back
with interest, but he doesnt
want them involved. My par-
ents are deceased, and my
siblings have similar money
problems.
I know his parents read
your column. Maybe they will
see this and offer some help
without questions because
my husband is too prideful
to ask. I am at my wits end.
-- Sinking Fast
Dear Sinking: Most par-
ents would feel terrible if they
were kept in the dark about a
problem they could alleviate.
In the meantime, your hus-
band should check with his
doctors office to see if they
can offer assistance, and you
can call the Information and
Referral Service at 2-1-1 and
explain the problem.
It is also often possible
to find free or reduced rates
for medication directly
through the drug manufac-
turers. Check their websites.
Here are a few other sugges-
tions: Needy Meds (needy-
meds.com); Partnership
for Prescription Assistance
(pparx.org); RxAssist and Rx
Outreach Patient Assistance
Programs (rxassist.org); Rx
Hope (rxhope.com); and
Together Rx Access (togeth-
errxaccess.com).
Dear Annie: Our family
has been invited to a recep-
tion celebrating the civil
union of one of our cousins
and her same-sex partner. My
mother showed me the wed-
ding card that she purchased
for the occasion, which pic-
tured the hands of a man and
a woman. I questioned her
about the card, and she said
that the clerk in the store
where she bought it told her
it was appropriate. The clerk
said that where two women
formed a partnership, one of
them would take on the role
of the man.
I am sure that our cousins
partner is not a transsexual,
and both would be offended
if we called one of them a
man. Am I wrong, or should
my mother find another wed-
ding card? -- Straight in
Canada
Dear Canada: Many gay
couples might find this card
insensitive. Since you believe
your cousin and
her partner would
be unhappy with
it, please suggest
that Mom save this
one for a different
wedding and find
another card that is
specifically for gay
couples or is gender
neutral. It shouldnt
be difficult.
Dear Annie:
This is in response
to Theresa in
Florida, whose husband is
apprehensive about receiving
a lung transplant.
I received a lifesaving
liver transplant 11 years ago
and have been in excellent
health since. Her husband can
contact LifeLink Foundation
for Western Florida in Tampa
and Transplant Foundation of
Jackson Memorial Hospital
in Miami. I have volunteered
for both. They offer meetings
for pre-transplant patients
and will help answer any
questions her husband has.
He can also meet others who
have already undergone this
transplant.
I have met lung transplant
recipients, and I am sure they
would tell him to have the
surgery without hesitation. --
Craig in Sarasota
Dear Craig: Our thanks
to you and all who wrote with
words of encouragement. We
hope Theresa and her hus-
band will look into your rec-
ommendations.

Annies Mailbox
FRIDAY, SEPT. 9, 2011
You could be extremely fortunate
in the upcoming solar cycle, through
an arrangement that another has
started and upon which you can build
your own nest egg. Dont hesitate
to take advantage of this unusual
opportunity.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) --
Working hard and giving a job all
that you can might not be enough to
accomplish your goal. Fortunately,
youll have Lady Luck helping you
drive to the post.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- It
behooves you to try to make a game
out of a tedious job that youre trying
to complete. Itll take the edge off of
the boredom, especially if you get a
friend to help you out.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22)
-- When helping another, treat what
youre trying to do earnestly and place
importance on it, even if you have no
stake in it. Itll make you look good in
the other partys eyes.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec.
21) -- We all, upon occasion, find
ourselves in need of a good sounding
board. If you have an issue weighing
on your mind, discuss it with someone
you respect.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19) -- A major objective that youve
been finding to be far more difficult
to accomplish than you had expected
might suddenly get completed, owing
to new forces becoming involved.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) --
Although you might be faced with a
situation similar to one that gave you
fits previously, you learned from it
and can now use the same tactics that
proved to be so successful before.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) --
Why would you settle for the status
quo when your destiny is in your own
hands? Take charge and implement
whatever changes you feel would
improve your life.
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
-- Give a friend the benefit of the
doubt when things arent adding up
the way they should. Until you know
differently, trust what your pal has to
say about a delicate issue that affects
you.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) --
Youre in a good achievement cycle
in terms of your ambitious objectives.
Now is the time to take on that special

make life a whole lot easier.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) --
Letting the one you love know how
much she or he means to you isnt
likely to be accomplished by words
alone, but by how you act and what
you do for him or her. Deeds say more
than words.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
-- It takes dedication as well as skill
to excel to capture the win. Thus, if
youre more determined to take the

can be yours.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) --
If youve been falling short on
accomplishing a major goal, perhaps
its time to bring in someone who has
certain skills you lack. Chances are

Outlet malls a big hit for back-to-school shoppers
By ELLEN GIBSON
NEW YORK Parents have a new goal
this back-to-school shopping season: Buy
their kids the name brands they want without
spending like its 2007.
After the recession began in late 2007,
cost-conscious consumers sought out the
cheapest shirts and shoes they could find at
merchants like Wal-Mart and Target to keep
their budget in check. But these days, value is
the name of the game.
Shoppers who are just as concerned about
style and quality as price are flocking to
factory outlets, where they can snag Gap,
Nike, Vans and other designer clothes and
accessories for 25 to 70 percent off. In fact, a
quarter of parents said they plan to do the bulk
of their back-to-school shopping at factory
outlets and discount stores, compared with
just 16 percent planning to do so at malls,
according to the American Express Spending
and Saving Tracker.
I still want the brand names, says Lisa
Santa, who took a break from her vacation
recently to hit the Jersey Shore Premium
Outlets to find a first-day-of-school outfit
for her third-grade daughter. So I came here
hoping to get lower prices on quality stuff.
Its a major shopping shift from the reces-
sion, when many Americans shunned pricey
designer labels in favor of dirt-cheap buys.
Now, theyre back to shopping for brand
names as the economy slowly recovers, but
are still unwilling to pay full price for Guess
jeans and Oakley sunglasses because of wor-
ries about high unemployment and stock mar-
ket volatility. As a result, clothing sales were
up 18 percent year-over-year in July at fac-
tory outlets more sales growth than every
other retail concept except warehouse stores,
according to research firm NDP Group.
During the back-to-school season, which
runs roughly from mid-July through mid-
September, theres a big opportunity for out-
let centers to cash in on the trend. The aver-
age family with kids in grades kindergarten
through 12 plans to shell out $604 for clothes,
school supplies and electronics this year,
according to the National Retail Federation.
For college students, who also need dorm
furnishings, the budget is $809. Both figures
are a few dollars lower than last year, but
combined will still amount to $69 billion for
retailers and outlet stores are expected to
capture a large portion.
Simon Property Group operates regional
malls and 57 outlet centers across the coun-
try, including Jersey Shore Premium Outlets,
which has stores like kids clothing retailer
Childrens Place and teen clothing chain
Aeropostale. The company said that its total
sales per square foot were up 9.4 percent
to $513 for the three months ended June 30
over the same period last year. It is planning
major expansions at four of its outlet centers
in Seattle, Orlando, Chicago and Southern
California, which will add over 450,000
square feet of space.
(Shoppers) are now re-emerging and
getting back to normal, says Michele
Rothstein, senior vice president of marketing
for the Premium Outlets division of Simon.
However, it is a new normal one that
focuses more on value.
Rival developer Tanger Factory Outlet
Centers Inc., which owns or operates 37 out-
let shopping centers in the U.S., reported on
Aug. 2 that its tenants sales at stores open at
least a year a key indicator of a retailers
health were up 6.8 percent over the previ-
ous quarter to $361 per square foot. Tangers
tenants include Cole Haan Outlet, Coach
Factory and Old Navy Outlet.
Tanger chief executive Steven Tanger said
on the call hes hearing from retailers that
outlet stores are either the most profitable or
one of the most profitable business units in
their corporation.
Indeed, many apparel brands are relying
on outlet divisions for growth. At Ann Taylor,
revenue from its namesake stores open at least
a year was up just 0.6 percent last quarter,
while Ann Taylor Factory stores had a 6.5
percent increase. American Eagle CEO James
ODonnell said on an Aug. 24 call with inves-
tors that 90 percent of the companys new loca-
tions will be so-called off-campus stores, or
outlets. And Gap recently said it was upping the
number of new stores it plans to open this year
from 65 to 75, driven primarily by additional
Outlet store openings in North America.
(Shoppers) are now re-
emerging and getting back
to normal. However, it is
a new normal one that
focuses more on value.

SIMI VALLEY, Calif. Quick to tangle, Republican
presidential rivals Rick Perry and Mitt Romney sparred vigor-
ously over job creation and Social Security Wednesday night
in a feisty campaign debate that marked a contentious new
turn in the race to pick a 2012 challenger to President Barack
Obama.
Far more than in earlier GOP debates this summer, the
candidates mixed it up in their first faceoff since Perry entered
the race and almost instantly overtook Romney as front-runner
in opinion polls. Those two as well as other contenders on
stage sniped at one another, contradicted allegations and
interrupted media questioners to demand opportunities to take
each other on.
Michael Dukakis created jobs three times faster than you
did, Mitt, Perry jabbed in the debates opening moments,
referring to one of Romneys Democratic predecessors as
governor of Massachusetts.
As a matter of fact, George Bush and his predecessors
created jobs at a faster rate than you did, Romney shot back
at Perry, the 10-year incumbent Texas governor.
The debate was the first of three in as many weeks, at a
time when the economy is struggling, unemployment is seem-
ingly stuck at 9.1 percent and Obamas popularity is sinking
in the polls all events that could make the GOP nomination
worth more than it appeared only a few months ago.
Perry and Romney stood next to each other on the debate
stage at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library, a setting
that invoked the memory of the conservative Republican who
swept to two terms as president. And for much of the evening,
the two men were at the center of the action, largely reducing
their rivals to the roles of spectators looking for a way into
the action.
Former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman sided with Perry when he
turned to Romney and said, 47th just isnt going to cut it, my
friend, a reference to the rank Massachusetts had among the
50 states in creating jobs during Romneys term.
But he also sought to rebut Perrys claim to be chief execu-
tive of the countrys top job-producing state.
I hate to rain on the parade of the great Lone Star State
governor, but as governor of Utah, we were the No. 1 job cre-
ator during my years in service, Huntsman said.
Businessman Herman Cain, Minnesota Rep. Michele
Bachmann, Texas Rep. Ron Paul, former House Speaker Newt
Gingrich and former Sen. Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania
shared the stage for the debate hosted by MSNBC and
Politico.
Not surprisingly, the GOP contenders had little good to say
about Obama, either his record on creating jobs or the health
care law they have vowed to repeal if they win the White
House. Perry was an exception, volunteering his praise for
the presidential order that resulted in the death of Osama bin
Laden in a U.S. military raid in Pakistan. He also said he was
happy the U.S. prison at Guantanamo has been kept open.
On another foreign policy issue, Bachmann criticized
Obamas decision to join an international military campaign
in Libya.
Bachman also said she would provide the strong, bold
leader in the presidency who will lead the effort to repeal the
health care law passed at Obamas behest. None of us should
ever think that the repeal bill will just come to our desk, she
said in a pledge that drew applause from the audience.
Gingrich resisted an effort to draw him into conflict with
other Republicans on stage. Im frankly not interested in your
efforts to get Republicans fighting each other, he said, spark-
ing an even louder round of applause. He said all Republicans
should defeat efforts by the news media to spark an internal
struggle when the real objective is to defeat Obama in 2012.
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) Yahoo Inc. has gone through
three different CEOs in five years. Whoever takes the helm now
will face the same challenge: Solve one of the Internets most
perplexing puzzles.
Why is a company that owns some of the worlds most widely
used online services unable to gain traction among Web surfers,
advertisers and investors? Can the company that rode the Internet
boom ever again be where the cool kids go?
Unless Yahoos next regime can figure it out, the company is
in danger of becoming an Internet anachronism that might have to
be broken up to be salvaged.
The challenge confounded Silicon Valley veteran Carol Bartz,
who spent more than 2 1/2 years retooling Yahoo before being
fired over the phone late Tuesday. It also befuddled Yahoo
Chairman Roy Bostock, who embraced Bartz as the exact com-
bination of experience and savvy the company needed when she
was hired in January 2009.
As a stopgap measure, Yahoo appointed its chief financial
officer, Tim Morse, to be interim leader until the companys board
can hire a permanent replacement. Morse, 42, met with Yahoos
employees at the companys Sunnyvale, Calif., headquarters
Wednesday.
The board hasnt set a timetable for finding the next CEO.
The directors took two months to hire Bartz after co-founder
Jerry Yang decided he wanted to end a 1 1/2 year-stint as CEO
in 2008.
Yahoo rode the Internet boom of the 1990s and weathered
the dot-com bust that followed. In the past decade, says Forrester
Research analyst Shar VanBoskirk, the company has spent too
much time clinging to its early success in the 1990s, instead of
adapting to the trends that have reshaped the Internet.
Two companies that helped drive the changes, Internet search
leader Google Inc. and social network Facebook, are now the
places where the cool kids hang out and, more importantly to
investors, where advertisers increasingly spend their money.
Yahoo has become a business stuck in its glory days,
VanBoskirk says. They became so focused on what they used
to be that they cant seem to focus on what they should become.
They just keep refining all the stuff that they have been doing
since the 1990s.
Those legacy services can still draw a crowd. Yahoos email
as well as sections devoted to general news, sports, finance and
entertainment attract the most online U.S. traffic in each of their
categories, according to the most recent data from the research
firm comScore Inc.
But the people using those services arent sticking around as
long as they once did, a pattern that has caused advertisers to seek
marketing alternatives. That in turn has caused Yahoos revenue
to sag even as the overall Internet ad market has been growing at
a rate of more than 20 percent annually.
GULF SHORES, Ala. (AP) BP workers used fishing nets
to scoop tar balls off Alabamas Gulf Coast beaches Wednesday
after the white sands were fouled by gooey, dark gobs churned
up by heavy surf from tropical system Lee.
Both the company and area officials said it would be days
before tests determined whether the tar balls were from last
years massive oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, but BP contrac-
tors were removing the pollution anyway.
Grant Brown, a spokesman for the city of Gulf Shores, said
residents have feared more oil remains on the Gulfs sandy floor
despite months of cleaning, and the appearance of tar balls after
Lee only reinforced those concerns.
Its more proof that there still are offshore tar mats and its
washing ashore ... and its going to continue, it looks like, com-
ing to shore , said Brown.
Meanwhile, thousands of Alabama residents remained with-
out power Wednesday as a result of Lee. Alabama Power Co.
officials said about 200,000 were without power after the storm
hit over the weekend and that about 52,000 remained in the dark
Wednesday afternoon, mostly in the Birmingham area.
Alabama Power spokesman Ike Pigott said the outages
occurred because of high winds and torrential rains in the
Birmingham area when the tropical system collided Monday
with a cold front. He said getting all of the power restored has
taken time because we had significant trees down.
On the Alabama coast, with the summer tourist season over,
relatively few tourists were on the beaches as the cleanup began.
Crews walked the beaches using nets to pick up hundreds of tar
balls, which were dumped into large plastic bags and hauled off
the beach for disposal.

AP: Friend says
jealousy fueled
WVa rampage
By VICKI SMITH
and HARRY R. WEBER
MORGANTOWN, W.Va.
Long before the bloodbath
that left five dead in a rural
West Virginia home, the sus-
pected 22-year-old gunman
visited nursing homes and tried
to cheer up patients. In his
own eyes, Shayne Riggleman
was outgoing, a friend to both
strangers and animals.
By the end of the rampage
that left two others injured miles
away, Riggleman took his own
life along a Kentucky roadside
Monday, police on his tail. It
ended more than three years of
run-ins with the law.
Police wont say what they
believe provoked Riggleman,
but one victims close friend
says it may have been jealousy
over an ex-girlfriend who some-
times lived in the run-down
home in the woods a few miles
west of Morgantown.
As for Rigglemans friends,
they created a Facebook trib-
ute page to him and struggled
to reconcile the violence with
the man they knew who wrote
on his own page, I want to
accomplish something great in
life. I want to help people.
I just want people to know
that he wasnt a monster, said
Amber Faulknier, 24, who went
to Morgantown High School
with Riggleman. ... Something
had to have happened to make
him snap.
Faulknier was Rigglemans
partner in a certified nursing
assistant class in vocational-
technical school. Together, they
visited nursing home residents.
He was always laughing
and joking and trying to make
sure they had a better day and a
better life than what they think
they have, she said.
Though Faulknier defended
her old friend, she said she sus-
pected Riggleman had mental
problems because shed seen
two sides of his personality.
He was that really nice,
funny guy that would do any-
thing for you, she said, but
when that time came that you
would make him mad, he was a
totally different person. He was
almost uncontrollable.
