... the Canal Days Fishing Derby Chair

BY STEPHANIE GROVES Staff Writer sgroves@delphosherald.com DELPHOSBetween 8-10 a.m. on Canal Days Saturday, take a leisurely walk up Second Street past the post office to the canal where there will be kids of all ages lining the banks trying to reel in a prize catch during the Canal Days Fishing Derby. For 10 years, Fishing Derby Chair Tim Williams has been volunteering his time organizing the event. Williams explained that Jim Grothouse approached him, said that they needed a person to take over the event and then asked him to do it. Williams talked it over with his wife and since they both enjoyed attending the event, they decided to help out. My wife and I would take our daughter to the Canal Days Fishing Derby, Williams explained. It was cool seeing the kids excited at the canal bank. Preparation for the event begins with cleaning up the east and west sides of the canal banks behind the post office and making sure there are fish in the canal for the event. On the day of the Derby, Williams makes sure the kids have prizes. His friends and family help measure and record the fishs length. The competition begins at 8 a.m. and as soon as someone catches a fish, they can bring the fish up to the measuring table. That is where we document the length of the fish and the childs name that caught it, Williams said. The event ends at 10 a.m. and at that time, they determine the sizes of fish caught and correlate the appropriate prizes. The kids collect their prizes and get their photo taken with all of

Habitat house siding installed

Employees from Charles Rivers Laboratories in Spencerville volunteer their time to assist with installing siding on the Habitat for Humanity House. Pictured working on cutting, placing and securing siding to the house are, from left, Scott Sanderson, Lindsay Langhals, Marge Broecker and Melissa Schroeder. Sanderson said the company allows workers one paid day off per year to volunteer their time for a good cause. Roger Calvert said that the caulking, electrical, roofing and insulation are done.

Schools staff to receive ALICE Training

BY NANCY SPENCER Herald Editor nspencer@delphosherald.com OTTOVILLE Ottoville Local Schools will concentrate on safety prior to the districts first day for students. School board members learned Wednesday that teachers, administrators and maintenance staff will participate in ALICE Training conducted by the Putnam County Sheriff s Office and Pandora Police Officer Scott Stant on Tuesday. The thrust of the training will be confronting and disarming an armed intruder. Key-card entry on all doors will also be installed in the coming weeks. Indiana Hardware is providing and installing the new card swipers at $17,000. Funding for the safety upgrade will come from the Bureau of Workers Compensation refund ($10,465) and the Classroom Facilities Fund ($6,535). Superintendent Scott Mangas also updated the board in other activities, including a four-hour bus training session held earlier this week in Ottoville and Kalida and a meeting held with teachers by Technology Coordinator Shelley Mumaw

DELPHOS The City of Delphos has received a lowinterest loan from the Ohio Environmental Protection Agencys Water Supply Revolving Loan Account for the Gressel Drive Water Loop Project. The city received $60,257 at approximately 2.3-percent interest toward the project. The city plans to install approximately 1,000 feet of 12-inch diameter water line between the north end of existing lines in Gressel Drive and Marsh Avenue. According to Safety Service Director Greg Berquist, the loop will provide a higher quality of water to businesses and residents along the water main. Right now, the lines on Gressel and Marsh are dead ends and that affects the quality of the water as well as our ability to provide fire service to those areas, Berquist said. Fenton Contracting LLC of Fort Jennings was the lowest bidder for the construction portion of the project and have already had a pre-construction meeting with Berquist and others involved in the project. Berquist estimated the project, once started in a week or two, will take three to four weeks to complete. The majority of the line will be laid in the field west of Gressel Drive so it will go pretty quickly, he added. Ohios Water Supply Revolving Loan Account (WSRLA) provides loans at interest rates below market rate. Over the 20-year life of the loan, the city will save an estimated $17,300 when compared to the market rate. Started in 1998, the Ohio Water Supply Revolving Loan Account has provided more than $900 million in loans with below-market interest rates for compliance-related improvements to public water systems. The program has saved public water systems more than $158 million in interest. Additionally, the WSRLA can provide technical assistance to public water systems in a variety of areas from the planning, design and construction of improvements to enhancing the technical, managerial and financial capacity of these systems.

Today is Thursday, Aug. 15, the 227th day of 2013. There are 138 days left in the year. Todays Highlight in History: On August 15, 1969, the Woodstock Music and Art Fair opened in upstate New York. On this date: In 1057, Macbeth, King of Scots, was killed in battle by Malcolm, the eldest son of King Duncan, whom Macbeth had slain. In 1483, the Sistine Chapel was consecrated by Pope Sixtus IV. In 1769, Napoleon Bonaparte was born on the island of Corsica. In 1812, the Battle of Fort Dearborn took place as Potawatomi warriors attacked a U.S. military garrison of about 100 people. (Most of the garrison was killed, while the remainder were taken prisoner.) In 1914, the Panama Canal opened to traffic. In 1935, humorist Will Rogers and aviator Wiley Post were killed when their airplane crashed near Point Barrow in the Alaska Territory.

Five years ago: Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili grudgingly signed a U.S.-backed truce with Russia, even as he denounced the Russians as invading barbarians and accused the West of all but encouraging them to overrun his country. Michael Phelps won his sixth gold medal with his sixth world record, in the 200-meter individual medley at the Summer Olympics. American Nastia Liukin won the gold in womens gymnastics; friend and teammate Shawn Johnson was second. Record producer Jerry Wexler, who coined the term rhythm and blues, died in Sarasota, Fla. at age 91. National Public Radio commentator Leroy Sievers, whod shared his struggle with cancer, died at his Maryland home at age 53. One year ago: Felix Hernandez pitched the Seattle Mariners first perfect game and the 23rd in baseball history, overpowering the Tampa Bay Rays in a brilliant 1-0 victory; it was the third perfect game and sixth no-hitter of the season. The United States broke a 75-year winless streak at Mexicos intimidating Azteca Stadium with an 80th minute goal and a series of saves that delivered a 1-0 victory.

In a shareable world, things like car sharing, clothing swaps, childcare coops, potlucks and co-housing make life more fun, green and affordable. (Clapstar, Flickr photo) In a shareable world, things like car sharing, clothing swaps, childcare coops, potlucks, and cohousing make life more fun, green, and affordable, reports Shareable. When we share, not only is a better life possible but so is a better world. The non-profit Freecycle Network, which runs a Craigslist-style website where people can list items they want to give away, pioneered using the Internet to facilitate diverting reusable goods from landfills when it launched back in 2003. To date, more than nine million individuals across 5,000 different regions have used the groups freecycle.org website to find new homes for old items. According to Shareable, other examples such as Zipcar, Wikipedia, Kiva and Creative Commons show how successful sharing can be. They show whats possible when we share. They show that we dont act merely for our own good, but go out of our way to contribute to the common good. They show that we can solve the crises we face, and thrive as never before. They show that a new world is emerging where the more you share the more respect you get, and where life works because everyone helps each other. Shareable and the Center for a New American Dream, a non-profit that highlights the connections between consumption, quality of life and the environment, have collaborated on the production of the new Guide to Sharing, a free downloadable booklet loaded with practical ideas about exchanging stuff, time, skills and space. Some of the ideas in the guide include: organizing a community swap; starting a local toy, seed or tool library; launching a skills exchange where community members can swap professional skills like carpentry or grant-writing; or setting up a food, transportation or gardening co-op. Some other sharing tips include carsharing, gift circles, sharing backyard chickens with neighbors and launching a free market where people meet to trade skills and stuff. For her part, Janelle Orsi envisions a future where public land is dedicated to community gardening, public libraries also lend tools, equipment and other goods, and citywide bike sharing, carpooling and wifi programs are all the rage. Orsi and others warn we had better get used to sharing, as it is here to stay.

Dear EarthTalk: Some green groups are promoting the simple notion of sharing as a way to green communities and combat waste. Can you explain? Becky Lipscomb, Centereach, NY The convergence of environmental awareness and consumer culture has created a whole new movement today whereby sharing is cool. Indeed, some environmentalists view sharing as key to maintaining our quality of life and our sanity in an increasingly cluttered world. Sharing is a relatively simple concept and a basic part of human life, reports Janelle Orsi on Shareable, an online magazine that tells the story of sharing. Whats new is that people are applying sharing in innovative and far-reaching ways, many of which require complex planning, new ways of thinking and organizing, and new technologies. In short, people are taking sharing to new levels, ranging from relatively simple applications of sharing to community-wide sharing initiativesand beyond.

The following article was written primarily by Ed Lentz, Hancock County Extension Educator, and supplemented by Jim Hoorman, Putnam County Extension Educator. Late summer can be an excellent time to establish new stands of forage crops. It is also a good time to plant seed in bare or thin spots in stands seeded this past spring. Forages planted in late summer tend to have fewer environmental stresses and less weed competition. Available days for proper seedbed preparation and planting are generally more abundant in late summer than spring. Weather is still a major factor in establishing forages in late summer; however, the following management guidelines should increase the chance for success: Lime and fertilizer should be applied prior to planting, according to a recent soil test. Alfalfa compared to other crops has a higher soil pH requirement and a higher critical soil test phosphorus and potash level. Select premium alfalfa varieties for stand longevity, high yields and good forage quality. Also, proper Rhizobium inoculum (specific for alfalfa) should be applied at planting for future nitrogen fixation. In a no-till situation, minimize competition from existing weeds by applying a burndown application of glyphosate before planting. After the alfalfa is up and growing, late summer and fall emerging winter Save up to $1.81 annual broadleaf weeds should be controlled.

Ag Credit announces strong earnings

Information submitted Ag Credit, ACA, a member-owned cooperative, recently announced financial results for the second quarter of 2013. Net income for the second quarter and first six months of 2013 was $8.4 million and $16.0 million, compared with $9.4 million and $16.8 million, respectively, for the same periods in 2012. Gross loan volume for the first six months was 1.3 billion compared to 1.4 billion on December 31, 2012. The decrease in loan volume is related to the normal, seasonal reduction in production and intermediate-term volume and a slight reduction in real estate mortgage loan volume. From June 30, 2012, to June 30, 2013, volume increased by $105.8 million (8.61 percent). It is important to maintain strong earnings in good times. Strong earnings enable us to build upon our current financial strength and fulfill our mission to serve agriculture, said Neil Jordan, President and CEO. We will continue to focus on being a valued financial partner that provides reliable and competitive financing, working with customers through volatile economic times and providing a significant profitsharing dividend. Ag Credits portfolio continues to show a positive trend in credit quality as members have been careful about acquiring more debt. Non-accrual loans decreased to $28.1 million as of June 30 compared to $32 million on Dec. 31, 2012. The Associations non-accrual loans as a percentage of total loans also decreased to 2.11 percent at the end of the quarter compared to 2.32 percent at the end of 2012. Ag Credits capital ratios remain satisfactory in excess of regulatory minimums. On June 30, shareholders equity totaled $216.1 million and the permanent capital ratio was 20.44 percent, compared with the 7 percent minimum mandated by the Farm Credit Administration (FCA).

Deere 3Q tops views, but 4Q sales worry investors

Associated Press MOLINE, Ill. Deere & Co.s third-quarter net income rose 27 percent and easily beat most expectations as it benefited from the farm boom in North and South America. However, it said that fourth-quarter equipment sales would fall 5 percent compared with a year earlier. The company said last years fourth quarter brought particularly strong sales in part because factories were running quickly to catch up with customer orders. The lower agriculture sales prediction does not indicate any change in our outlook for demand or global ag fundamentals, Susan Karlix, Deeres manager for investor communications, said on a conference call. Deere shares fell $1.57, or 1.9 percent, to close at $82.34 Wednesday. The farm and construction equipment manufacturer earned $997 million, or $2.56 per share, well ahead of the $2.17 per share that Wall Street was looking for. Revenue climbed 4 percent to $10.01 billion, the company said Wednesday, also topping most expectations of analysts polled by FactSet. The company last year booked earnings of $788 million, or $1.98 per share. For the three months ended July 31, worldwide equipment sales increased 4 percent on higher prices. Equipment sales rose 4 percent in the U.S. and Canada and 5 percent in other regions. Agriculture and turf segment sales rose 8 percent on increased prices and higher shipment volumes. Construction and forestry sales fell 11 percent on lower shipment volumes.

with Sarah Berelsman
A Regular Guy by Mona Simpson is about a father who is a millionaire named Tom Owens. Jane comes into Toms life, born out of wedlock, raised in communes, and now thrown into his care by a mother who is no longer capable of providing it. Tom is not ready for this responsibility. The author has won critical acclaim as well as various writing awards for her previous two books, so I thought her third novel would be good. Its not. I do not like Simpsons writing style at all. I muddled through the pages; it was really like trying to walk through mud. It is flowery and full of unnecessary phrases and she often uses words that she seemingly plucked from a thesaurus and threw in just because she thought they sounded eloquent. I have nothing good to say about her writing style. As far as characters go, I cant say I have much good to say here, either. None of the characters were likable: from the distant father, Tom, to the broken daughter, Jane. I tried to like the characters, at least one of them but I couldnt. I think its because Simpson didnt develop any of the characters enough. There was nothing about any of them that made me want to care. The plot is interesting. Only because halfway through the book, I decided to Google it and see if I could find any background on it. What I found was, Simpson is the sister of the late Steve Jobs. This book is based upon him and his family. I found that interesting and although I went back to reading, I didnt enjoy the book any more than I had been. So, no, I do not recommend this book. I do recommend the essay Jobs daughter wrote about the book. Her name is Lisa and you can find that online. She writes about her thoughts of her aunt writing this book, and that essay is very good and well-written. I would say unless youre a huge Steve Jobs fan, skip this book. Read his biography instead.

Thompson keeps going at helm of Elida golf

By JIM METCALFE Staff Writer jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com ELIDA Denny Thompson figured that 2012 would be his final year as the Elida boys golf coach, completing a 29-year career with last falls 8-6 mark and third-place finish in the Western Buckeye League. As long-time college football coach and ESPN analyst Lee Corso might interject, not so fast! Thompson is back for his 30th season with three starters returning from that crew of Division I Bulldogs. Third-year senior Trent Cutlip and third-year senior Nate Cellar boast the best averages: 43 strikes per nine holes; along with third-year junior Jimmie Eblings 44. We have those three solid, experienced players to build around this fall, so thats a strength of this team, he explained. However, after losing four veterans from 2012 who graduated in the spring, including 4-year varsity players like Ian Haidle, Mike Lawler and Aric Thompson, as well as Bryan Romey, along with a couple of others who chose to sit out 2013, the links mentor figures finding depth will be an area of concern as the season progresses. He has a trio of varsity newcomers he is particularly figuring will go a long ways to address that issue: senior Max Stambaugh, junior Conner French and freshman Drew Sarno. As well, a quartet of other newcomers: Carson Hurst, Kaven Hurst, Ben Phipps and Brett Shook; will also be vying for spots. If we establish that fourth and fifth score, we can be in the The Elida boys golf team for 2013 has, front from left, Carson Hurst, Kaven Hurst, Jimmie Ebling, Drew Sarno and upper tier of the Western Buckeye League, Thompson added.

By JIM METCALFE Staff Writer jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com KALIDA Ken Schnipkes Kalida golf unit grabbed the Putnam County League title last fall with a 5-0 mark in his 17th season at the helm. With the departure of three key cogs due to graduation, including Division III State qualifier Neil Recker, along with Cody Mathew and Austin Horstman, Schnipke knows he has some holes to fill as the season goes along in 2013. As well, a couple of other expected players did not go out for various reasons. We are young; we have no seniors. We have two lettermen to build around in junior Zach Erhart and junior Brady Mathew but no other experienced golfers, the coach said. Kalidas golf unit for 2013 has, front from left, Derek Buss, Trent Siebeneck, Kage Bockrath, Evan Recker and However, he does have Nathan Nordhaus; and back, head coach Ken Schnipke, Sarah Cleemput, Jeffrey Knueve, Zach Erhart and Nathan a number of candidates to Meyers. Absent are Brady Mathew, Collin Nartker and Noah Lambert. (Delphos Herald/Jim Metcalfe) try and take the place of Information submitted his departures, among them four sophomores: Nathan Meyers, Nathan Nordhaus, Evan Recker and Kage Bockrath; and a handful of ninth-graders: Jeff Knueve, Collin Nartker, Trent Siebeneck, Noah Lambert and Derek Buss. We are going to be so young, I dont know yet. Ill know more after we complete a couple weeks of the season, the coach added. Still, I feel we can surprise some teams and be competitive by the end of the season. I think our league is going to be more competitive all the way through. There isnt a clear-cut favorite. Kalida, after competing in its own invitational Wednesday, will seek to find more answers to Schnipkes questions at todays Paulding Panther Invitational held at Auglaize Country Club, the site of the Division III Sectional in September.

KALIDA Arlingtons boys golf team probably thought they were sitting pretty after registering a 313 team score at the Kalida Wildcat Invitational Wednesday at Country Acres Golf Club in Kalida. The Red Devils still lost by 21 strikes as the hot-shooting Ottawa Hills Green Bears recorded an incredible 292 to win going away the 19-team field. Ben Silvermans 70 won the medalist honors to pace the victors, while Ben Dayton had a 73 and Michael Denner a 73. Cody Rettigs 73 was low scorer for the runner-up Red Devils. Host Kalida took 10th (350) behind the 87s of Brady Mathew and Trent Siebeneck. Elida was 11th (352) behind the 83s of Trent Cutlip and Nate Cellar. Van Wert registered a 356 for 13th, topped by the 82 of Brandon Hernandez. Wesley Markwards 82 was low man for Ottoville, who took 16th (373), while Fort Jennings was last at 422.

Mallon missed out on celebration as a player

Associated Press PARKER, Colo. One minute, Meg Mallon was running down the fairway, celebrating one of the biggest victories of her career. The next, she was being loaded into an ambulance and rushed to the hospital. The U.S. captains last turn as a player in the Solheim Cup was in 2005, when she made a par putt to clinch the American victory at Crooked Stick outside of Indianapolis. A typically raucous celebration ensued but shortly after, Mallon started feeling lightheaded.

Interested applicants contact: Nancy Spencer at the Delphos Herald 419-695-0015 ext. 134 or stop at the office at 405 N. Main St., Delphos, Ohio

At the time, officials thought it was a simple case of heat exhaustion from a long weekend of golf in the summertime heat of Indiana. As it turned out, Mallons heart rate was buzzing along at 300 beats per minute. She was taken to the hospital and diagnosed and treated for Supraventricular tachycardia, an ailment that causes the heart to beat very fast for reasons other than exercise or rest. See LPGA, page 7

Kasey Kahne was none too pleased after being involved in a wreck at Watkins Glen last weekend. Matt Kenseth, the man who caused it, has apparently reached out to Kahne to express his regret. He texted me, I dont know, five to eight times apologizing, trying to explain what happened, how he felt really bad about how it happened and all that stuff. I understand and I appreciate the texts, Kahne said. At the same time, were trying to get in the Chase. It hurts when you get wiped out when youre minding your own business. Its happened enough this year that I dont know what I can do about it but I definitely am not pleased. Its really annoying and upsetting. Emotions are high right now, with only four races remaining before the Chase for the Sprint Cup Championship. Kahne is in 12th place in the Cup standings, although with two victories hes in good shape for a wild card if he doesnt make the top 10. His 34th-place showing at Watkins Glen didnt help matters, of course. It was the fourth time this season he was taken out by a Joe Gibbs Racing driver, including three times by Kyle Busch, who won Sundays race. Well, just looking at the incidents with (Kenseth) and Kyle, weve always had conversations after the fact. Theyve explained and felt bad about it. Truthfully, Kyle races me really good all the time. Its not really on my mind when Im racing with Kyle, Kahne added. Matt has been pretty tough on me a lot this year. He got me there. Thats definitely on my mind. I just kind of see things the way I see it. Kahne was asked in a teleconference Wednesday if he could recall being on the other end of situations like that and how hed handle it. Its never happened to me, he replied. Kind of makes me think I need to start taking cars out but it hasnt happened to me. I dont know what it would be like on that side of it. GORDONS GOAL: Jeff Gordons visit to Michigan International Speedway in June was marred by an early accident he was out of contention almost immediately when he hit a spinning Bobby Labonte less than 10 laps into the race. Gordon figures that whole mess could have been avoided if he hadnt started so far back in the pack. Qualifying as poorly as we did put us in the position to get caught up in that wreck, Gordon said. We shouldnt have been in that position to begin with. We have to improve our qualifying effort here. Gordon started from the 29th position in June and finished 39th. Heading into another race in Michigan this weekend, Gordon is running out of time if he wants to qualify for the Chase. Gordon is in 13th place in the Cup standings and has no wins this year, which puts him at a disadvantage in the race for the two wild cards. A win would certainly help our chances but I dont think its necessary, Gordon said. I think a string of top fives and top 10s could get us a top-10 spot in the standings. See RACING, page 7

Smoke living the life he loves

He missed his first race in many moons at Watkins Glen and the other drivers were very cognizant of his absence, texting, twittering and tweeting about how much he is missed the day of the race. These men and women know that if it werent for current drivers like Smoke, a Jeff Gordon, a Dale Earnhardt Jr. and the like, or for those that set the tone in the past like Richard Petty, Dale Earnhardt Sr. and other legendary persons, NASCAR is not what it is today. Stewart is one of those guys that has grown up before out eyes. Remember when it seemed as if he was known more for his temper than his driving prowess? I for one like to see people choose the better way; he could have continued in that mode who knows where hed be had he done so? but chose the correct fork in the road and he and racing is better for it. Since I know he is one of the regular readers of this column (!!!), get well, Smoke. As part of a racing story in the paper today, there are those that are wondering about the safety of the drivers after what happened to Stewart and to a couple of other drivers who have died on the track the last few months. No question, these are tragedies and we hope that the

By JIM METCALFE Sports Editor jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com I admit that I am not the greatest fan of NASCAR there are probably four or five others that are greater than I but that is for another column! but outside of maybe a couple of guys, I really have no problem with any of the current drivers. They are good men and women who are trying to entertain the fans the best they can, make a good living and win races, all the while avoiding The One that will end their career or, perish the thought, their life. I think there is an inherent respect for other drivers by most unfortunately, apparently not always by all of these people because they know all it takes is one slip-up, one mistake in judgement. That respect came to the fore last week when Tony Smoke Stewart broke his leg doing what he loves to do racing.

powers-that-be are doing everything they can to make sure these men and women are as safe as possible. At the same time, those men who died on the track like Jason Leffler and Kramer Williamson died doing what they loved to do: racing. They and their families knew the risks and the dangers and kept plugging away, I would hope with the blessing of their families. That, I am not privy to know. It all ties in with the current concern about football players all players for that matter but especially the retired pros who are suffering the effects of concussions and such. I dont know what the ultimate fate of this situation in the courts and such will end up but when you read stories of these men not only regarding their brains and minds but also the damage done to backs, knees and ankles how many would not do it again? These guys played the game they loved from the time they were little and dreamed of playing it at the highest levels. How many of us guys wish we had had that opportunity? They just had the chance to see it through. In the end, you can only make life so safe. The rest requires faith, doesnt it?

Arroyo helps Reds sweep Cubs with 5-0 victory Indians rally to beat
By JAY COHEN Associated Press CHICAGO Most of the swings looked a little off and many missed the ball entirely. The infielders gobbled up the grounders and the outfielders had an easy afternoon. This was Bronson Arroyo at his baffling best. Arroyo pitched seven crisp innings, Todd Frazier homered and the Cincinnati Reds beat the Chicago Cubs 5-0 on Wednesday to complete a 3-game series sweep. Its unbelievable the way he pitches, Frazier said. I just cant understand how he does it and everybodys off-balance and I know Im going to get ground balls so Im ready all the time and he starts striking guys out. Its pretty cool to watch and see a guy like that just work his craft. Arroyo (11-9) allowed two hits, struck out seven and walked none in his second straight win. The sneaky righthander retired his first nine batters and faced the minimum through six innings. Frazier also had one of Cincinnatis four run-scoring doubles as the Reds (68-52) earned their fourth consecutive win to move a season-high 16 games over .500. They improved to 13-3 against the Cubs this year, including a 9-1 mark at Wrigley Field. The defending NL Central champions have won seven out of eight since an embarrassing 15-2 home loss to St. Louis on Aug. 4. They trailed divisionleading Pittsburgh by 3 1/2 games at the start of the day, with the Pirates scheduled to face the second-place Cardinals on Wednesday night. Sometimes a team has to hit rock bottom before you can start rolling, manager Dusty Baker said. The Cubs wasted a solid start by Chris Rusin (2-2) in their fourth straight loss. The left-hander allowed two runs and three hits while throwing just 76 pitches over six innings. With Chicago struggling to score against Arroyo, manager Dale Sveum had Starlin Castro hit for Rusin with two out and none on in the sixth. Castro flied out to left and Zack Cozart hit an RBI double off Carlos Villanueva in the seventh to give Cincinnati a 3-0 lead. David DeJesus rolled a leadoff single into center field in the fourth for Chicagos first hit but was promptly erased when Darnell McDonald bounced into a double play. McDonald singled off the glove of second baseman Brandon Phillips in the seventh and was stranded when Arroyo retired the next two batters. Alfredo Simon worked a perfect eighth and Jonathan Broxton finished the 2-hitter for Cincinnatis 13th shutout of the season. To get shut out and get nothing going at all today, its frustrating, Sveum said. Its frustrating for the guys in the clubhouse, too. Theyre plugging away the best they can. Arroyo improved to 13-9 with a 2.92 ERA in 30 career games against the Cubs, including wins in each of his last four starts. He has been quite good at Chicagos cozy neighborhood ballpark, with an 8-3 record and a 2.83 ERA in 15 appearances. Ive been comfortable in this ballpark for a long time for some reason, definitely the last probably seven years, he added. Its just a lineup that a lot of times Im comfortable against. Frazier helped the Reds get off to a fast start when he drove Rusins third pitch over the wall in left and onto Waveland Avenue. It was Fraziers first homer since July 1 against San Francisco and No. 11 on the year. Frazier and Joey Votto had consecutive RBI doubles in the eighth to cap the scoring. NOTES: Chicago has been shut out 10 times this season. It managed just six hits in a 2-0 loss in the series opener on Monday. Reds CF Shin-Soo Choo got the day off. Baker revealed he wanted to give him some rest and hes also dealing with a hand issue; Baker declined to specify which hand. RHP Jake Arrieta will come up from Triple-A Iowa to start Chicagos game against St. Louis on Friday. The move put Villanueva in the bullpen. Baker said hes not counting on the return of LHP Sean Marshall, who went on the disabled list May 24 with a sore pitching shoulder. You cant expect things; that way youre going to be disappointed, Baker added, and if you get them back, then youre elated. The Cubs are off today before beginning a 3-game series against the Cardinals. The Reds send LHP Tony Cingrani (5-2, 2.87 ERA) to the mound today for the opener of a 4-game series at Milwaukee. RHP Kyle Lohse (8-7, 3.26 ERA) is expected to start for the Brewers.

It turned out to be a blessing because I had been misdiagnosed with (a different) heart ailment for almost 20 years, Mallon explained. Mallon was fine. She got to enjoy a celebration in 2009 when she was an assistant captain on the winning U.S. team. This year, shes running the show and hoping shell get another chance to make up for what she missed in 2005. At the end of the day, it was great for me, she added of the 2005 drama, but it sure was a buzz kill for the party. YOUTH MOVEMENT: Paula Creamer made her Solheim Cup debut when she was 19. She earned a spot on the team and was bold enough to say in the weeks leading up to the matches that the Europeans should prepare to be beaten. Creamer did her part, going 3-1-1 and trouncing Laura Davies in singles. This year, being a teenager is no longer that big of a deal. Europe has the youngest player in Solheim Cup history, 17-yearold Charley Hull of England. The Americans have Lexi Thompson, who is 18 and already a 2-time winner (once on the LPGA Tour, once on the Ladies European Tour). Creamer said she only sounded fearless. I thought I knew what it was like to walk out on the first tee and I was like, I got it. I cant tell you how nervous I really was, Creamer said. It helped that she played before a home crowd at Crooked Stick in Indianapolis. Lexi is really lucky that this is her first one here in the States, Creamer added. Theres nothing better than having the homefield advantage. You really understand that when you do go over to Europe. REDEMPTION: Cristie Kerr has a little extra motivation to win back the Solheim Cup for the

Americans. Two years ago in Ireland, she played four matches with an injured right thumb and could not hit a ball more than 10 yards warming up Sunday morning. Kerr had no choice but to withdraw, conceding the match to Europe. Europe went on to win, 15-13. Nobody knows but me how much I gave that week and how much I played through, Kerr said. Yet again, youve got to play singles. So it was very disappointing. Everybody has incredible motivation but I have a little extra. So I am looking for some special stuff out there this week and I am going to be there for my team. Im looking forward to it. WHATS IN A NAME: Because Inbee Park finished 42nd at the British Open earlier this month, she will not sweep all five of the womens majors. Still, if she wins at the Evian Championship next month, shell win her fourth major of the year. In the mens game, or in tennis, they would call that a Grand Slam. But in womens golf, which added Evian as its fifth major this year, theres some debate of where to rate and what to call the accomplishment. Mallon simply called it an exceptional year. I dont know why we have to get caught up and have to label it, she said. Because it takes away from the performance this girls had this year. Even with her finish at St. Andrews, Park is No. 1 in the world golf ranking and on the LPGA money list. She has six victories this year. She isnt present this week at the Solheim Cup, which is an America vs. Europe event. Only American Stacy Lewis, who won the British and is second on the money list, has an outside chance to say shes had as good a 2013 as Park; even that would be a stretch. Park and Lewis will tee it up at Evian in four weeks.

That string better start soon. Gordon felt like he had a good car at MIS in June but his starting position made it harder to avoid trouble. I feel like weve learned some things recently that will really help our performance in qualifying as well as the race, Gordon added. I was pretty happy with my car when the race started here in June. Hopefully, we have a strong car again. Veteran selected as NASCAR races honorary starter BROOKLYN, Mich. A U.S. Army veteran and Purple Heart recipient from Ohio has been selected as the honorary starter for the Pure Michigan 400 NASCAR race after his hope of honoring his 6-year-old son on race day resonated with voters in an online contest, organizers announced Wednesday. David Balestrino Jr. of Youngstown won the contest on the Pure Michigan Facebook page, getting hundreds of votes for his entry on why he wanted to honor Brady by waving the green flag Sunday at Michigan International Speedway. Pure Michigan is the states tourism campaign. While serving in Iraq I missed the entire first year of Bradys life, Balestrino wrote in a statement. That was the most difficult thing I ever had to go through. With the honor, he added, he hopes he can make everyone who has served or is still serving proud. Balestrino served as a combat engineer from 2003-09 and received a Purple Heart during service in Iraq. For the contest, people submitted entries of 50 words or less explaining why they should be selected as honorary starter. His entry got more than 800 votes. As honorary starter, Balestrino will get a pace car ride from NASCARs official pace car driver and attend the NASCAR Sprint Cup drivers meeting. TV personality and Traverse City native Carter Oosterhouse is Pure Michigan 400 grand marshal of the event. KENSETHS KID: Ross Kenseth, the 20-year-old son of Matt Kenseth, is hoping to make his first start on the ARCA Racing Series on Aug. 25 at Madison (Wis.) International Speedway. Thats just 100 miles from his hometown of Little Chute. Making my first ARCA start at Madison means a lot to me, Kenseth said. Its a great opportunity to get in a Ken Schrader Racing car. They always have good stuff, especially at short tracks. This will be Ross Kenseths first start in a heavy stock car similar to those used in NASCARs top series but hes already won at Madison International Speedways half-mile paved oval five times in various series during his young career. Matt Kenseth was the 1994 track champion and Ross grandfather, Roy Kenseth, has promoted races at the facility. There isnt a greater place for Ross to get his first ARCA start than Madison, Matt Kenseth added. That track has meant a lot to us through the years. We both have enjoyed some great times and have won some big races there. I really appreciate one of my racing heroes, Ken Schrader, giving Ross a chance and his first start in the ARCA series. HONORING LEFFLER: The late Jason Leffler will be honored with a race in his name at Wayne County Speedway in Illinois later this month. Leffler died in June in a dirt track accident in New Jersey. He was a 2-time winner on the NASCAR Nationwide Series and a 1-time winner in the Truck Series.

MINNEAPOLIS The Cleveland Indians hope Wednesdays rally will help turn things around. Michael Brantley hit a sacrifice fly in the 12th inning and the Indians came back to beat the Minnesota Twins 9-8. Carlos Santana and Jason Giambi homered for the Indians, who won for just the third time in 10 games. Joe Mauer tied a career high with five hits for Minnesota. When you get a win like today where you go back and forth its definitely crucial, said Mike Aviles, who had a pair of RBIs. Nick Swisher and Jason Kipnis singled off Ryan Pressly (3-3) to open the 12th. Swisher moved to third on a fly out and scored easily on Brantleys fly out to center field. Chris Perez (5-2) blew a save but got the win. Joe Smith earned his second save, including a strikeout of Mauer to end the game. Santana homered off Glen Perkins in the 10th to give Cleveland an 8-7 lead. Mauer responded in the bottom half with a shot off Perez. The Indians, who trail Detroit by six games in the AL Central, were swept at home by the Tigers last week and then lost two out of three at home to the Los Angeles Angels. After losing 3-0 to the Twins on Monday, Cleveland has won two straight. The Indians open a 3-game series Friday at Oakland before playing three at the Angels. Cleveland trailed 7-3 entering the eighth inning. After the first two batters reached base against Casey Fien, Brantley had an RBI single and Giambi followed with a 3-run homer that tied it. Minnesota starter Kyle

Gibson allowed six hits and three earned runs in 5 1/3 innings, the fourth straight start hes failed to go at least six innings. Josh Roenicke, Caleb Thielbar and Jared Burton pitched 1 2/3 innings of scoreless relief before Fien struggled in the eighth. Caseys been lights out, one of the better setup guys in our league, since we put him in that role, manager Ron Gardenhire said. Looking to build on the confidence gained from pitching one-hit ball in five relief innings last Friday, Cleveland starter Carlos Carrasco allowed 10 hits and four earned runs in 4 1/3 innings. Carrasco, who was recalled from Triple-A Friday, is winless in seven starts this year and hasnt won since June 29, 2011, at Arizona. Consistently, from start to start he holds his stuff very well but he just makes too many mistakes. A lot of times you cant get away with one mistake to good hitters. Theres times where he makes one or two or three during an at-bat and hes paying for it, manager Terry Francona said. Mauer, who singled and moved to third on a double by Justin Morneau, scored on a first-inning sacrifice fly by Josh Willingham. Morneau then scored on a double by Oswaldo Arcia. Brain Dozier and Mauer had RBI singles in the second to give Minnesota a 4-0 lead. The Twins went 6-for13 with runners in scoring position after going 3-for48 over their last six games. Minnesota entered the game last in the American League, hitting .230 in such situations. Mauer hit a 2-run single in the sixth and Chris Colabello an RBI single in the seventh to make it 7-3.

Tomorrows Horoscope
By Bernice Bede Osol

HI AND LOIS

FRIDAY, AUGUST 16, 2013 Speak from the heart and share your plans for the future with those you feel are heading in the same direction as you. New beginnings will lead to greater satisfaction. Explore possibilities and locations that could improve your lifestyle. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -Experience will be your greatest asset. Indulge in activities and events that will broaden your outlook and prepare you for long-contemplated changes. You have several friendships and interests that could be broadened and expanded. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -Dont get caught up in a colleague or family members melodrama. Distance yourself from negativity and embrace people who are trying to do something that will benefit your community or a cause you believe in. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -Protect your rights and back away from people who are demanding too much or trying to control your life. Stick to those who share your concerns and you will be much more effective. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- If you need to lift your spirits, you should take a day trip or make pleasant alterations to your home. Sharing your thoughts with a loved one will lead to travel or educational plans. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Set out on an adventure and share your knowledge and experience with those you encounter along the way. The people you touch emotionally and intellectually will offer just as much in return. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Dont let obstacles hold you back. Size up your situation and turn a lemon into lemonade. A partnership will undergo change, but in the end it will help you make a crucial decision. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Youll be drawn toward people who enjoy discussing ideas and are willing to try new things. The more experimental or challenging someone or something becomes, the more your interest will increase. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Capitalize on what you have to offer instead of helping someone else gain recognition. Focus on your own interests and what you can do with them. You will make a big splash if you work hard. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -Take a break, have some fun and try new things. Embark on a journey that stimulates you mentally, physically or emotionally. Romance is on the horizon, and a positive change is heading your way. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Dont get down; get busy. Look for ways to become involved in your community or help someone in need. If you talk less and do more, you will gain respect. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -Spend your time fixing up your home and taking care of family and personal comfort. An emotional situation with someone you care about will result in positive changes. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -Your interest in diverse subjects will help you deepen your awareness and expertise. Setting up a space at home to work on personal projects will ensure that you finish what you start.

Terrorists turn to online chat rooms to evade US

LARA JAKES Associated Press WASHINGTON Al-Qaida fighters have been using secretive chat rooms and encrypted Internet message boards for planning and coordinating attacks including the threatened if vague plot that U.S. officials say closed 19 diplomatic posts across Africa and the Middle East for more than a week. Its highly unlikely that al-Qaidas top leader, Ayman al-Zawahri, or his chief lieutenant in Yemen, Nasser al-Wahishi, were personally part of the Internet chatter or, given the intense manhunt for both by U.S. spy agencies, that they ever go online or pick up the phone to discuss terror plots, experts say. But the unspecified call to arms by the al-Qaida leaders, using a multi-layered subterfuge to pass messages from couriers to tech-savvy underlings to attackers, provoked a quick reaction by the U.S. to protect Americans in far-flung corners of the world where the terror network is evolving into regional hubs. For years, extremists have used online forums to share information and drum up support, and over the past decade they have developed systems that blend encryption programs with anonymity software to hide their tracks. Jihadist technology may now be so sophisticated and secretive, experts say, that many communications avoid detection by National Security Agency programs that were specifically designed to uncover terror plots.

Job Fair held at Library

R & R Employment, Inc., held a job fair and accepted employment applications at the Delphos Public Library in the Activities Room on Wednesday afternoon.

A U.S. intelligence official said the unspecified threat was discussed in an online forum joined by so many jihadist groups that it included a representative from Boko Haram, the Nigerian insurgency that has loose and informal ties to al-Qaida. Two other intelligence officials characterized the threat as more of an alert to get ready to launch potential attacks than a discussion of specific targets. One of the officials said the threat began with a message from al-Wahishi, head of the Yemen-based al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula, to al-Zawahri, who replaced Osama bin Laden as the core alQaida leader. The message essentially sought out al-Zawahris blessing to launch attacks. Al-Zawahri, in turn, sent out a response that was shared on the secretive online jihadi forum. All three intelligence officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the threat. Rita Katz, director of the Washington-based SITE Intelligence Group that monitors jihadist websites, said its all but certain that neither al-Zawahri nor al-Wahishi would communicate directly online or on the phone. Al-Zawahris location is unknown, but he was last believed to be in Pakistan, and al-Wahishi is said to be in Yemen. Given the nearly 2,000 miles between the two men, Katz said its most likely they separately composed encrypted messages, saved them on thumb drives, and handed them off to couriers who disseminated them on secure websites. Bin Laden, who was killed in May 2011, issued his messages in much the same way.

Hundreds reported killed as Egypt smashes protests

MAGGIE MICHAEL Associated Press CAIRO In Egypts bloodiest day since the Arab Spring began, riot police Wednesday smashed two protest camps of supporters of the deposed Islamist president, touching off street violence that officials said killed nearly 300 people and forced the military-backed interim leaders to impose a state of emergency and curfew. The crackdown drew widespread condemnation from the Muslim world and the West, including the U.S., and Nobel Peace Prize winner Mohamed ElBaradei resigned as the interim vice president in protest a blow to the new leaderships credibility with the pro-reform movement. Today was a difficult day, interim Prime Minister Hazem el-Beblawi said in a televised address to the nation. While he regretted the bloodshed, he offered no apologies for moving against the supporters of ousted President Mohammed Morsi, saying they were given ample warnings to leave and he had tried foreign mediation efforts. The leaders of Morsis Muslim Brotherhood called it a massacre. Several of them were detained as police swept through the two sit-in sites, scores of other Islamists were taken into custody, and the future of the once-banned movement was uncertain. Backed by helicopters, police fired tear gas and used armored bulldozers to plow into the barricades at the two protest camps in different sections of Cairo where the Morsi supporters had been camped since before he was ousted by the military July 3. Army troops did not take part in the two operations, which began shortly after 7 a.m. (0500 GMT 1 a.m. EDT), although they provided security at the locations. The smaller camp near Cairo University in Giza was cleared of protesters relatively quickly, most taking refuge in the nearby Orman botanical gardens, on the campus of Cairo University and the zoo. But it took about 12 hours for police to take control of the main sit-in site near the Rabaah al-Adawiya Mosque in Nasr City that has served as the epicenter of the proMorsi campaign and had drawn chanting throngs of men, women and children only days earlier. After the police moved on the camps, street battles broke out in Cairo and other cities across Egypt. Government buildings and police stations were attacked, roads were blocked, and Christian churches were torched, Interior Minister Mohammed Ibrahim said. At one point, protesters trapped a police Humvee on an overpass near the Nasr City camp and pushed it off, according to images posted on social networking sites that showed an injured policeman on the ground below, near a pool of blood and the overturned vehicle.

La. hostage-taker was a high school football star

MICHAEL KUNZELMAN Associated Press

WASHINGTON Former Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. was sentenced to 2 years in prison Wednesday for illegally spending $750,000 in campaign funds on personal items, the judge scolding the son of the famed civil rights leader for using the money as a piggy bank and sentencing his wife to a year as well. However, Jackson, who emotionally apologized to his father, mother, congressional colleagues and others, was given significantly less prison time than federal guidelines recommend, recognized by the judge as a complex person who has done both good and bad. Sandra Jackson, a former Chicago alderman, was sentenced for filing false joint federal income tax returns. After prison, the former congressman is to spend three years on supervised release and complete 500 hours of community service. If he earns credit for good behavior in prison, he could end up serving closer to two years. He agreed to repay the $750,000 when he pleaded guilty earlier this year. According to court documents, the Jacksons had spent campaign money on TVs, restaurant dinners, an expensive watch and other costly personal items. Jackson, 48, had been a Democratic congressman from Illinois from 1995 until he resigned last November. In an emotional speech to the judge, he choked up and used tissues to blow his nose. He apologized and said he wanted to take responsibility for my actions. I misled the American people. I misled the House of Representatives. I misled the Federal Election Commission, he said. I was wrong. I also want to apologize to my dad and to my mother, Jackson added, stopping to compose himself. The elder Jackson, who sat in the front row during the proceedings, told a crush of reporters outside the courthouse later: This has been an extraordinarily difficult time for our family.

Manning takes stand, apologizes for hurting US Ottoville

PAULINE JELINEK Associated Press to contain his emotions several times Wednesday during testimony from his sister, an aunt and two mental health counselors, one who treated him and another who diagnosed him with several problems. Manning, 25, could be sentenced to 90 years in prison for the leaks, which occurred while he was working as an Army intelligence analyst in Iraq in 2010. The judge will impose the sentence, though exactly when is unclear. The next session, for any prosecution rebuttal testimony, is set for Friday. Speaking quickly but deliberately, Manning took only a few minutes to make his statement Wednesday. He appeared to be reading it from papers he was holding and looked up a number of times to make eye contact with the judge. It was an unsworn statement, meaning he could not be crossexamined by prosecutors. He said he realizes now that he should have worked more aggressively inside the system to draw attention to his concerns about the way the war was being waged. He said he wants to get a college degree, and he asked for a chance to become a more productive member of society. His conciliatory tone was at odds with the statement he gave in court in February, when he condemned the actions of U.S. soldiers overseas and what he called the militarys bloodlust. Defense attorney David Coombs told Manning supporters that Mannings heart was in the right place. His one goal was to make this world a better place, Coombs said. Mannings apology could carry substantial weight with the military judge, said Eugene Fidell, who teaches military justice at Yale. He faces extraordinarily long confinement and if he is coming across subjectively as contrite, I think that may do him some real good with the sentencing, Fidell said. Mannings attorneys contend he showed clear signs of deteriorating mental health before and during his deployment that should have prevented commanders from sending him to a war zone to handle classified information. Manning eventually came out to Capt. Michael Worsley, emailing the clinical psychologist a photo of himself in a long, blond wig and lipstick. The photo was attached to a letter titled My problem, in which Manning described his internal struggle and said he had hoped that a military career would get rid of it.

ST. JOSEPH, La. Fuaed Abdo Ahmed was angry and hearing voices, authorities said, when he wrote the letter detailing his plan to take employees hostage at a rural Louisiana bank. He wrote that he believed his ex-girlfriends family had broken them up and were responsible for putting a device in his head, according to the letter found in a van parked near the bank. The family was among a list of people he believed had caused him problems, and he also wrote demands that included safe passage to another country. What unfolded Tuesday afternoon was an hours-long standoff that left the gunman and one hostage dead of gunshot wounds and another hostage in critical condition. Despite his list of grievances, the 20-year-old gunman had no apparent history with the bank employees he took captive. And while Ahmed may have been privately seething, he gave few outward signs of his violent aims. Several acquaintances, including the towns mayor, said they saw no signs of trouble. His high school football coach and a teammate describe an amicable star running back with good grades.

Bolivia records: Aymara herder is 123 years old

FRASQUIA, Bolivia (AP) If Bolivias public records are correct, Carmelo Flores Laura is the oldest living person ever documented. They say he turned 123 a month ago. The native Aymara lives in a straw-roofed dirt-floor hut in an isolated hamlet near Lake Titicaca at 13,100 feet (4,000 meters), is illiterate, speaks no Spanish and has no teeth. He walks without a cane and doesnt wear glasses. And though he speaks Aymara with a firm voice, one must talk into his ear to be heard. I see a bit dimly. I had good vision before. But I saw you coming, he tells Associated Press journalists who visit after a local TV report touts him as the worlds oldest person. Hobbling down a dirt path, Flores greets them with a raised arm, smiles and sits down on a rock. His gums bulge with coca leaf, a mild stimulant that staves off hunger. Like most Bolivian highlands peasants, he has been chewing it all his life. Guinness World Records says the oldest living person verified by original proof of birth is Misao Okawa, a 115-year-old Japanese woman. The oldest verified age was 122 years and 164 days: Jeanne Calment of France, who died in 1997. Guinness spokeswoman Jamie Panas said it wasnt aware of a claim being filed for the Bolivian. I should be about 100 years old or more, Flores says. But his memory is dim. Flores 27-year-old grandson Edwin says Flores fought in the 1933 Chaco war with Paraguay but he only faintly remembers. The director of Bolivias civil registrar, Eugenio Condori, showed The Associated Press the registry that lists Flores birthdate as July 16, 1890. Condori said birth certificates did not exist in Bolivia until 1940. Births previously were registered with baptism certificates provided by Roman Catholic priests. For the state, the baptism certificate is valid, Condori said. He said he couldnt show Flores baptism certificate to the AP because it is a private document. To what does Flores owe

FORT MEADE, Md. Pfc. Bradley Manning took the stand Wednesday at his sentencing hearing in the WikiLeaks case and apologized for hurting his country, pleading with a military judge for a chance to go to college and become a productive citizen. He addressed the court on a day of often emotional testimony from family members about his troubled childhood and from a psychologist who said Manning felt extreme mental pressure in the hyper-masculine military because of his gender-identity disorder his feeling that he was a woman trapped in a mans body. I am sorry that my actions hurt people. Im sorry that they hurt the United States, he said as he began. The soldier said that he understood what he was doing but that he did not believe at the time that leaking a mountain of classified information to the anti-secrecy website would cause harm to the U.S. Though he often showed little reaction to court proceedings during most of the two and a half month courtmartial, Manning appeared to struggle

his longevity? I walk a lot, thats all. I go out with the animals, says Flores, who long herded cattle and sheep. I dont eat noodles or rice, only barley. I used to grow potatoes, beans, oca (an Andean tuber). The water Flores drinks originates on the snow-capped peak of Illampu, one of Bolivias highest. He says he doesnt drink alcohol, but imbibed some in his youth. Hes eaten a lot of mutton, and though he likes pork it is hardly available. He fondly remembers hunting and eating fox as a younger man. Flores says he has never been farther afield than La Paz, 80 kilometers (50 miles) away, and has never been seriously ill.
