Museum to honor Dr. Wolery
The Delphos Museum of
Postal History will honor Dr.
Walter W. Wolery for his
many contributions not
only to the museum but his
dedication to the art of philat-
ely at 2 p.m. on Sunday.
In 2001, when the muse-
um was located in its former
home, through the generosity
of Dr. Wolery and the Arnold
C. Dienstberger Foundation, a
stamp gallery was established
to display this major aspect
of postal history. Doctor
Wolerys donation of stamps
both domestic and internation-
al, stamp albums, philatelic
stationery and one-of-a-kind
collectables enabled the muse-
um to introduce the wonderful
world of philately. Casual col-
lectors were not even aware of
the existence of these new
items. The exhibits encour-
aged individuals to begin their
own collections.
Over the 17-year history
of the museum, Dr. Wolery
has continued his donations
with complete sets of United
Nations issues, topical collec-
tions such as the first day cov-
ers honoring Sir Rowland Hill
(the inventor of the postage
stamp) and loose stamps to be
given to those visitors inter-
ested in exploring this hobby.
Even prior to the creation
of the Museum of Postal
History, Wolery assisted the
postmaster of Delphos with
various promotions such as
Americas introduction of
semi-postal stamps, items
related to canal history or on
the subject of letters written
in times of war. Dr. Wolery
would provide stamp displays
and make himself available to
the public during these exhi-
bitions.
A granite paver designed
in the form of an addressed
envelope to Dr. Wolery will
be placed in the entryway of
the museum at 339 N. Main
St. The public is invited to
take this opportunity to view
all the new exhibits that were
completed this year and also to
chat with the Wolery family.
Light refreshments will fol-
low the unveiling.
Tax penalty to hit nearly
6M uninsured people
By RICARDO
ALONSO-ZALDIVAR
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON
Nearly 6 million Americans
significantly more than
first estimated will face a
tax penalty under President
Barack Obamas health over-
haul for not getting insur-
ance, congressional analysts
said Wednesday. Most would
be in the middle class.
The new estimate amounts
to an inconvenient fact for the
administration, a reminder of
what critics see as broken
promises.
The numbers from the
nonpartisan Congressional
Budget Office are 50 per-
cent higher than a previous
projection by the same office
in 2010, shortly after the law
passed. The earlier estimate
found 4 million people would
be affected in 2016, when the
penalty is fully in effect.
Thats still only a sliver
of the population, given that
more than 150 million peo-
ple currently are covered by
employer plans. Nonetheless,
in his first campaign for
the White House, Obama
pledged not to raise taxes on
individuals making less than
$200,000 a year and couples
making less than $250,000.
And the budget office
analysis found that nearly 80
percent of those wholl face
the penalty would be making
up to or less than five times
the federal poverty level.
Currently that would work
out to $55,850 or less for an
individual and $115,250 or
less for a family of four.
Average penalty: about
$1,200 in 2016.
The bad news and broken
promises from Obamacare
just keep piling up, said
Rep. Dave Camp, R-Mich.,
chairman of the House Ways
and Means Committee, who
wants to repeal the law.
Starting in 2014, virtually
every legal resident of the
U.S. will be required to carry
health insurance or face a
tax penalty, with exemptions
for financial hardship, reli-
gious objections and certain
other circumstances. Most
people will not have to worry
about the requirement since
they already have coverage
through employers, govern-
ment programs like Medicare
or by buying their own poli-
cies.

Pot could be tax windfall,
but skeptics abound
By KRISTEN WYATT
and JONATHAN
J. COOPER
DENVER A catchy pro-
marijuana jingle for Colorado
voters considering legalizing
the drug goes like this: Jobs
for our people. Money for
schools. Who could ask for
more?
Its a bit more compli-
cated than that in the three
states Colorado, Oregon
and Washington that could
become the first to legalize
marijuana this fall.
The debate over how much
tax money recreational mari-
juana laws could produce is
playing an outsize role in the
campaigns for and against
legalization and both sides
concede theyre not really sure
what would happen.
At one extreme, pro-pot
campaigners say it could prove
a windfall for cash-strapped
states with new taxes on pot
and reduced criminal justice
costs.
At the other, state govern-
ment skeptics warn legaliza-
tion would lead to costly legal
battles and expensive new
bureaucracies to regulate mari-
juana.
In all three states asking vot-
ers to decide whether residents
can smoke pot, the proponents
promise big rewards, though
estimates of tax revenue vary
widely:
Colorados campaign
touts money for school con-
struction. Ads promote the mea-
sure with the tag line, Strict
Regulation. Fund Education.
State analysts project some-
where between $5 million and
$22 million a year. An econo-
mist whose study was funded
by a pro-pot group projects a
$60 million boost by 2017.
Washingtons campaign
promises to devote more than
half of marijuana taxes to
substance-abuse prevention,
research, education and health
care. Washington state analysts
have produced the most gener-
ous estimate of how much tax
revenue legal pot could pro-
duce, at nearly $2 billion over
five years.
Oregons measure,
known as the Cannabis Tax
Act, would devote 90 per-
cent of recreational marijuana
profits to the states general
fund. Oregons fiscal analysts
havent even guessed at the
total revenue, citing the many
uncertainties inherent in a
new marijuana market. They
have projected prison savings
between $1.4 million and $2.4
million a year if marijuana use
was legal without a doctors
recommendation.
We all know theres a mar-
ket for marijuana, but right now
the profits are all going to drug
cartels or underground, said
Brian Vicente, a lawyer work-
ing for Colorados Campaign
To Regulate Marijuana Like
Alcohol.
But there are numerous
questions about the projec-
tions, and since no state has
legalized marijuana for any-
thing but medical purposes, the
actual result is anyones guess.
Among the problems: No
one knows for certain how
many people are buying black-
market weed. No one knows
how demand would change if
marijuana were legal. No one
knows how much prices would
drop, or even what black-mar-
ket pot smokers are paying
now, though economists gen-
erally use a national estimate
of $225 an ounce based on
self-reported prices compiled
online.
Its difficult to size up a
market even if its legal, cer-
tainly if its illegal, said Jeffrey
Miron, a Harvard University
economist who has studied the
national tax implications of the
legalization of several drugs.
In Colorado, the $60 million
figure comes from Christopher
Stiffler, an economist for the
nonpartisan Colorado Center
on Law & Policy. He looked at
the states potential marijuana
market in a study funded by the
pro-legalization Drug Policy
Alliance. The figure comes
from a combination of state
and local taxes and projected
savings to law enforcement.
Marijuana smokers and
dealers, he argued, pay a pre-
mium now because the drug
is illegal, and if government
can find a way to capture that
excess, tax collections should
rise.
Tax
(Continued from page 1)
percent of Americans will not
be affected by the tax penalty
and suggested that those
who will be should face up to
their civic responsibilities.
This (analysis) doesnt
change the basic fact that the
individual responsibility policy
will only affect people who
can afford health care but
choose not to buy it, said Erin
Shields Britt of the Health and
Human Services Department.
Were no longer going to sub-
sidize the care of those who
can afford to buy insurance but
make a choice not to buy it.
The budget office said most
of the increase in its estimate is
due to changes in underlying
projections about the econo-
my, incorporating the effects
of new federal legislation, as
well as higher unemployment
and lower wages.
The Supreme Court upheld
Obamas law as constitutional
in a 5-4 decision this summer,
finding that the insurance man-
date and the tax penalty enforc-
ing it fall within the power of
Congress to impose taxes. The
penalty will be collected by the
IRS, just like taxes.
The budget office said the
penalty will raise $6.9 billion
in 2016.
The new law will also pro-
vide government aid to help
middle-class and low-income
households afford coverage,
the financial carrot that bal-
ances out the penalty.
Nonetheless, some people
might still decide to remain
uninsured because they object
to government mandates or
because they feel they would
come out ahead financially
even if they have to pay the
penalty. Health insurance is
expensive, with employer-pro-
vided family coverage aver-
aging nearly $15,800 a year
for a family and $4,300 for a
single plan. Indeed, insurance
industry experts say the federal
penalty may be too low.
The Supreme Court also
allowed individual states to
opt out of a major Medicaid
expansion under the law. The
Obama administration says it
will exempt low-income peo-
ple in states that opt out from
having to comply with the
insurance requirement.
Many Republicans still
regard the insurance mandate as
unconstitutional and rue the day
the Supreme Court upheld it.
However, the idea for an
individual insurance require-
ment comes from Republican
health care plans in the 1990s.
Its also a central element of
the 2006 Massachusetts health
care law signed by then-GOP
Gov. Mitt Romney, now run-
ning against Obama and prom-
ising to repeal the federal law.
Romney spokeswoman
Andrea Saul said Wednesday
the new report is more evi-
dence that Obamas law is a
costly disaster.
Even more of the middle-
class families who President
Obama promised would see no
tax increase will in fact see a
massive tax increase thanks to
Obamacare, she said.
Romney says insur-
ance mandates should be up
to each state. The approach
seems to have worked well in
Massachusetts, with virtually
all residents covered and dwin-
dling numbers opting to pay
the penalty instead.

STATE/LOCAL
BRIEFS
I know this book really exploded at least
a year ago, so Im a little late to the game.
There are so many books on my to-read
list, though, that I often tend to read the books
everyone is reading a little later than the rest
of the population. Anyway, I just read Heaven
is for Real, the story of a young boy who left
his body during a surgery
when he was not yet four
years old. I really wanted to
like this book. I didnt. For
a few reasons.
One thing that made me
skeptical is the fact that
Colton Burpo never actu-
ally died during his emer-
gency appendectomy. I
thought I was reading a
book about a boy who died
and went to Heavenhow
did he go to Heaven if he
never died? Right there it
was hard for me not to
dismiss everything else fol-
lowing in the book.
Another tidbit that made
me question the authen-
ticity of the book is that
Colton Burpos father is a
pastor. Hmmm. How convenient. To me it
just seemed that this book was written to push
the dads religious agendaoh, and make a
bunch of money. Now keep in mind that Im
a pretty cynical person, and Im only one per-
son. Ive heard lots of people rave about this
book. My mind tends to question everything,
and I definitely question the motive behind
this book.
Colton did describe what Heaven is like,
what Jesus looks like, etc. For all I know,
little Colton Burpo really did visit Heaven.
I will never know for sure. I do know what
its like to have a 3-year-old, however, and
I know how imaginative they
are and how easily it would
probably be to put ideas into
Coltons head. Likecouldnt
these descriptions he used for
Heaven be from something he
gleaned from Sunday school
lessons or bedtime Bible sto-
ries? I dont know for certain
that this is the case with this
book, but this is where my
mind went.
Another book I enjoyed a little
bit more is 90 Minutes in Heaven,
although that was also written by
a pastor. I just find it interesting
that these books were written by
pastors (or relayed by a pastors
child). Again, perhaps its the
cynic in me, but I feel that each
book could easily be a way for
the writers to push their beliefs
by way of convincing others that Heaven is,
indeed, for real.
Maybe Id feel differently if I read a book
of this nature that was written by someone not
affiliated with a church. All in all, upon read-
ing Heaven is for Real, I felt underwhelmed.
Maybe youll feel differently.

Cooper Farms
to put up third
wind turbine
BY ED GEBERT
DHI correspondent
VAN WERT One more
wind turbine is set to be built
to the north of Van Wert, but
like two others nearby, this
one is going to increase the
amount of green energy for
one local company.
Cooper Farms has already
jumped headlong into wind
energy by putting up two
turbines intended to provide
more than half of the plants
electrical usage.
When we built the first
two, we built them with the
idea of supplying about 60
percent of our electric needs
for our plant... and it did.
explained Cooper Farms CEO
Jim Cooper. He went on to
explain that in the two years
it took between the initial
study of using wind power
and the time the turbines were
on line, the firm expanded the
Van Wert plant.
So instead of producing
60 percent of the needs, it was
down to around 50 percent of
the needs, so thats why we
are in the process today of
breaking ground for the third
turbine which will take us up
to around 75 percent of our
production needs at the Van
Wert plant, he shared.
Cooper Farms officially
broke ground for the com-
panys third wind turbine
Monday morning at a site
just north of the companys
cooked meats operation just
off U.S. 127. Jim Cooper was
joined by Dianne Cooper, the
firms corporate secretary,
and Chief Operating Officer
Gary Cooper in turning up
shovels of dirt at the turbine
construction site. Then for
good measure, Jim Cooper
climbed into a backhoe and
did a little more serious dig-
ging to get the project under-
way.
The new turbine will be
identical to the two existing
units. They can be distin-
guished from the turbines of
the Blue Creek Wind Farm by
looking at the top of the tower
on the opposite end from the
blades. The turbines Cooper
Farms are using have a small
button shape while the Blue
Creek turbines are longer at
the nacelle.
The turbines themselves
are 431 feet high with com-
ponents made in both the U.S.
and China. As with the instal-
lation of the first two turbines,
One Energy, of Findlay, is
heading up the construction.
On Monday, Cooper
Farms was given a proclama-
tion from the offices of Ohio
Gov. John Kasich and Lt.
Gov. Mary Taylor. Northwest
Ohio Regional Liaison Chase
Francis made the presentation
at the groundbreaking site.
Also speaking was Ohio 1st
District State Sen. Cliff Hite,
who congratulated Cooper
Farms on this step.
This third turbine is sched-
uled to be ready by the end
of the year. One year ago,
Cooper Farms started con-
struction of the two current
turbines. Those were finished
and operational in approxi-
mately the same time frame.
In all, Jim Cooper noted
that he and the company think
wind power is a good alterna-
tive.
We figured that wind
power would be a good thing
for us. It fit our mentality, he
stated. Weve got an ongo-
ing commitment to providing
the best products while incur-
ring the least environmental
impact in the surrounding
communities and farms and
waterways. We know it is
vital that we are good stew-
ards of the natural resources
all around us, and providing
a good place for our children
and grandchildren to live in
the years to come.
Enrollment drop for Ohio
colleges now on semesters
DAYTON (AP)
Enrollment has dropped by
nearly 13,500 students at 17
Ohio colleges and universi-
ties that began using a semes-
ter schedule this fall, which
could be a financial hit for
schools relying on revenue
from tuition.
The initial enrollment dip
is typical with a schedule
switch that makes it easier
for students to transfer among
Ohio schools, according
to Jeff Ortega, director of
public affairs for the Ohio
Association of Community
Colleges. But there are other
factors affecting enrollment,
including fewer Ohio high
school graduates, eligibil-
ity changes that reduced how
many students get federal
Pell Grants, and an improv-
ing economy that has some
choosing jobs over educa-
tion, the Dayton Daily News
reported Wednesday.
Ortega said that enrollment
dropping from a conversion
to semesters is expected to
stabilize.
Among the latest schools
to turn to the semester sched-
ules, only Ohio University and
Cincinnati State Technical
and Community College
didnt lose enrollment.
Declines in enrollment are
financial hits as schools have
come to rely more on tuition
revenue as state aid dropped
18 percent in the last five
years. It also could threaten
to set back progress toward
a national goal for 60 per-
cent of Americans to hold a
degree by 2025.
The official report on
enrollment statewide will not
be released until Oct. 1, but
some educators expect the
number of students attend-
ing college across Ohio to
decline slightly, the news-
paper reported. If statewide
enrollment is down, it would
be the second year in a row
the number of students has
dropped, after falling 1 per-
cent last year. Prior to that,
enrollment had grown every
year since 2005, according
the Ohio Board of Regents.
Former Ohio Chancellor
Eric Fingerhut supported the
calendar change to semesters
as a way for students to more
easily transfer between the
states 37 public institutions.
The institutions previously
were on a quarter system,
which meant a transferring
student was switching from
a 10-week quarter to a longer
semester when making the
transition.
About 35.8 percent of
Ohioans now have a college
degree, but college propo-
nents say that is not enough
to meet future job demands.
The Lumina Foundation, a
national nonprofit focused
on enrolling and graduat-
ing more students, estimates
that 57 percent of jobs in the
future will require a college
education,
What were seeing in
enrollment statewide is an
indication that we all have
a lot of work to do, Wright
State University President
David Hopkins said. We
have to be relentless as a
system of higher education to
make sure were reaching as
many people as possible.
Fewer than half the stu-
dents who enter higher edu-
cation in the state graduate,
and Ohio Gov. John Kasich
last week charged college
presidents with redesigning
how schools are funded to
encourage improving gradua-
tion rates instead of focusing
funding on enrollment.
Higher education officials
stress the importance of a col-
lege degree in getting a job
especially during times of
recession but the recover-
ing economy apparently is
keeping some from college.
Ortega says some institu-
tions surveys of non-return-
ing students have found some
are not coming back because
they have part-time jobs and
just cant manage school and
work.
Cremated remains from funeral home
CINCINNATI (AP) Boxes
containing the cremated remains
of 56 people stored at a south-
west Ohio house under foreclo-
sure are the same ones that a
state regulatory agency found at
a now-closed funeral home last
year, officials said Wednesday.
Dayton police said a contrac-
tor hired to remove remaining
items from the house co-owned
by the former director of the
funeral home found the boxes in
a closet Tuesday in the city north
of Cincinnati. The boxes labeled
with names and dates of death
of the deceased individuals were
collected by the Montgomery
County coroners office, which
is working to inventory them and
try to find any next of kin.
The remains found Tuesday
were the same ones that were
found at the McLin Funeral
Home in Dayton last October
by investigators for the state
Board of Embalmers and Funeral
Directors, board executive
director Vanessa Niekamp said
Wednesday. She said the board in
January permanently revoked the
licenses of funeral home director
Scherrie McLin and the funeral
home after a state investigation
revealed violations of state laws
and administrative codes.
The board, which is the
court-appointed receiver for
the now-closed funeral homes
prepaid funeral service con-
tracts, had court permission to
enter the funeral home last year
and remove those documents,
Niekamp said.
We saw the boxes then
and recorded the names, said
Niekamp, who called the dis-
covery of the boxes at the house
horrifying.
She said the board had no
authority to remove the remains
but immediately informed the
county prosecutors office about
them. Calls to the prosecutors
office were not immediately
returned Wednesday.
Records with the county audi-
tors office show that the house
where the boxes were found is
owned by Scherrie McLin and
Tanya Anderson. They could
not be reached for comment
Wednesday.
Niekamp and coroners office
director Ken Betz said their agen-
cies and others will be working
together to determine whether
there are relatives to claim the
remains and how to handle any
unclaimed ones. The dates on
many of the boxes date back to
the early 1990s, with the oldest
dated 1982.
Coroners officials also will
check death certificates, on which
funeral homes are to place the final
disposition of remains, he said.
Betz and Niekamp said it
would be up to law enforcement
agencies to determine if any laws
have been broken. Dayton police
didnt immediately return calls
Wednesday.
Niekamp said state law allows
funeral directors to dispose of
remains after 60 days if they
are not claimed, but it doesnt
say they have to be disposed of
at any set time. The law does
say that when the remains are
disposed of, they must be placed
in a grave, a crypt or a niche,
Niekamp said. An example of
a niche would be an alcove or
recess in a wall that might be
used to display remains of some-
one in a museum, she said.
Its very common, unfortu-
nately, that someone passes away
and has no one claiming their
remains, Niekamp said, add-
ing that the law was intended
to enable funeral directors to
make arrangements for handling
unclaimed remains.
FirstEnergy
expects about
200 layoffs
AKRON (AP) Ohio-
based FirstEnergy Corp. says
it expects to lay off about 200
employees as the power com-
pany reevaluates its workforce
and may see more reductions
next year.
FirstEnergy says it will
announce the results of an orga-
nizational study in November,
and affected employees will
be eligible for benefits under
its severance plan. The review
includes corporate support
departments and the subsid-
iary FirstEnergy Solutions,
located mainly in Akron.
President and CEO Anthony
Alexander says the economic
factors that spurred the review
include slow customer load
growth and low power prices
caused by an abundant electric
generation supply.
FirstEnergy says its work-
force likely will shrink more
in 2013 because it will limit
the replacement of employees
who leave through attrition.
OSU students
allowed to
return to dorms
after leak
COLUMBUS (AP)
More than 1,100 Ohio State
University students evacuated
from their dorm rooms because
of a water leak can now return
to their residences.
An underground water line
failure forced the school to
close Park-Stradley Hall on
Sunday night, and the students
had to seek other accommoda-
tions.
The university on
Wednesday said the building
passed all of the necessary
safety inspections after crews
removed water from the sub-
basement and repaired the
facilitys electrical system.
But the school has told stu-
dents in the dorm that hot
water service and drinkable
water will likely take an addi-
tional couple days to restore.

By HOPE YEN
WASHINGTON The
U.S. economy is showing
signs of finally bottoming
out: Americans are on the
move again after record num-
bers had stayed put, more
young adults are leaving
their parents homes to take a
chance with college or the job
market, once-sharp declines
in births are leveling off and
poverty is slowing.
New 2011 census data
being released Thursday offer
glimmers of hope in an eco-
nomic recovery that techni-
cally began in mid-2009. The
annual survey, supplemented
with unpublished government
figures as of March 2012,
covers a year in which unem-
ployment fell modestly from
9.6 percent to 8.9 percent.
Not all is well. The job-
less rate remains high at 8.1
percent. Home ownership
dropped for a fifth straight
year to 64.6 percent, the low-
est in more than a decade, hurt
by more stringent financing
rules and a shift to renting.
More Americans than ever
are turning to food stamps,
while residents in housing
that is considered crowded
held steady at 1 percent, tied
for the highest since 2003.
Taken as a whole, howev-
er, analysts say the latest cen-
sus data provide wide-ranging
evidence of a stabilizing U.S.
economy. Coming five years
after the housing bust, such a
leveling off would mark an
end to the longest and most
pernicious economic decline
since World War II.
We may be seeing the
beginning of the American
familys recovery from
the Great Recession, said
Andrew Cherlin, a profes-
sor of sociology and pub-
lic policy at Johns Hopkins
University. He pointed in
particular to the upswing in
mobility and to young men
moving out of their parents
homes, both signs that more
young adults were testing out
job prospects.
It could be the modest
number of new jobs or simply
the belief that the worst is
over, Cherlin said.
Richard Freeman, an econ-
omist at Harvard University,
said the data point to a frag-
ile recovery, with the econ-
omy still at risk of falling
back into recession, depend-
ing in part on who is presi-
dent and whether Congress
averts a fiscal cliff of deep
government spending cuts
and higher taxes in January.
Given the situation in the
world economy, we are doing
better than many other coun-
tries, he said. Government
policies remain critical.
The census figures also
show slowing growth in the
foreign-born population,
which increased to 40.4 mil-
lion, or 13 percent of the U.S.
population. Last years immi-
gration increase of 400,000
people was the lowest in a
decade, reflecting a minimal
gain of Latinos after many
Mexicans already in the U.S.
opted to return home. Some
11 million people are estimat-
ed to be in the U.S. illegally.
The bulk of new immi-
grants are now higher-skilled
workers from Asian coun-
tries such as China and India,
contributing to increases in
the foreign-born population
in California, New York,
Illinois and New Jersey.
Income inequality varied
widely by region. The gap
between rich and poor was
most evident in the District
of Columbia, New York,
Connecticut, Louisiana and
New Mexico, where immi-
grant or minority groups were
more numerous. By county,
Berkeley in West Virginia
had the biggest jump in house-
hold income inequality over
the past year, a result of fast
suburban growth just outside
the Washington-Baltimore
region, where pockets of poor
residents and newly arrived,
affluent commuters live side
by side.
As a whole, Americans
were slowly finding ways to
get back on the move. About
12 percent of the nations
population, or 36.5 million,
moved to a new home, up
from a record low of 11.6
percent in 2011.
Among young adults 25
to 29, the most mobile age
group, moves also increased
to 24.6 percent from a low of
24.1 percent in the previous
year. Longer-distance moves,
typically for those seeking
new careers in other regions
of the country, rose modestly
from 3.4 percent to 3.8 per-
cent.
Less willing to rely on
parents, roughly 5.6 million
Americans ages 25-34, or
13.6 percent, lived with Mom
and Dad, a decrease from
14.2 percent in the previous
year. Young men were less
likely than before to live with
parents, down from 18.6 per-
cent to 16.9 percent; young
women living with parents
edged higher to 10.4 percent,
up from 9.7percent.
The increases in mobil-
ity coincide with modest
improvements in the job
market as well as increased
school enrollment, especially
in college and at advanced-
degree levels.
Marriages dipped to a low
of just 50.8 percent among
adults 18 and over, compared
with 57 percent in 2000.
Among young adults 25-34,
marriage was at 43.1 per-
cent, also a new low, part of
a longer-term cultural trend
in which people are opting
to marry at later ages and
often cohabitate with a part-
ner first.
Births, on the other
hand, appeared to be com-
ing back after years of steep
declines. In 2011, the number
of births dipped by 55,000,
or 1 percent, to 4.1 mil-
lion, the smallest drop since
the pre-recession peak in
2008, according to Kenneth
Johnson, a sociology profes-
sor and senior demographer
at the University of New
Hampshire. More recent data
from the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention also
show that once-precipitous
drops in births are slowing.
Has US economy bottomed
out? Census suggests yes
By PETE YOST
WASHINGTON
House Republicans investi-
gating a bungled gun-traf-
ficking probe in Arizona see
vindication in a long-awaited
watchdog report that criti-
cizes one of their favorite tar-
gets: Attorney General Eric
Holders Justice Department.
But Justices inspector gen-
eral absolved Holder himself
of blame.
The departments internal
watchdog, Michael Horowitz,
will be the only witness today
before the House Oversight
and Government Reform
Committee, a day after he
faulted the department for
misguided strategies, errors
in judgment and management
failures in an operation that
disregarded public safety and
allowed hundreds of guns to
reach Mexican drug gangs.
The inspector generals
report confirms findings by
Congress investigation of a
near total disregard for public
safety in Operation Fast and
Furious, said Rep. Darrell
Issa, R-Calif., the commit-
tees chairman.
However, committee
Republicans will have to
tread carefully. The IGs
report knocks down some
of the many accusations
Republicans have made
about the Obama administra-
tion during their year-and-
a-half-long investigation of
the operation by the Justice
Departments Bureau of
Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms
and Explosives. In places,
the report reads like a rebut-
tal of House Republicans
past statements.
We found no evidence
that staff at the department or
at ATF informed the attorney
general about Operation Fast
and Furious before 2011, the
report says.
Former Acting Deputy
Attorney General Gary
Grindler received a brief-
ing on Operation Fast and
Furious in 2010.
We found, however, that
the briefing failed to alert
Grindler to problems in the
investigation, the report
says.
We found no evidence
to suggest that Assistant
Attorney General Lanny
Breuer, head of the Justice
Departments criminal divi-
sion, was aware that the
ATF and the U.S. Attorneys
Office in Arizona had adopt-
ed a strategy of not interdict-
ing firearms, the report adds.
Still, the inspector gener-
als report was a form of vali-
dation for the Republican-led
investigation, saying lower-
level officials should have
briefed Holder about the
investigation much earlier.
The inspector general
referred 14 people for pos-
sible department disciplinary
action in Operation Fast and
Furious and a separate, ear-
lier probe known as Wide
Receiver, undertaken during
the George W. Bush admin-
istration Grindler, Breuer
and two other people from
the Justice Department, four
from ATF headquarters, four
at ATF in Phoenix and two
from the U.S. Attorneys
Office in Phoenix.
A former head of the
ATF, Kenneth Melson, and
a deputy assistant attorney
general in Justices crimi-
nal division in Washington,
Jason Weinstein, left the
department upon the reports
release Wednesday the
first by retirement, the sec-
ond by resignation.
Operation Fast and
Furious involved gun-walk-
ing, an experimental tac-
tic barred under longstand-
ing department policy. ATF
agents in Arizona allowed
suspected straw purchasers,
in these cases believed to be
working for Mexican drug
gangs, to leave Phoenix-area
gun stores with weapons
in order to track them and
bring charges against gun-
smuggling kingpins who
long had eluded prosecution,
but they lost track of most of
the guns.
Lawmakers to hear from gun-walking investigator
By JIM ABRAMS
WASHINGTON House
Republicans and Democrats
on Wednesday came together
on at least one way to reduce
government spending by
eliminating federal assistance
for the two parties increas-
ingly expensive and stage-
managed presidential con-
ventions.
The vote was 310-95.
Rep. Tom Cole, R-Okla,
who sponsored the legisla-
tion, says the government has
spent about $224 million on
the quadrennial gatherings
of party faithful since 1976,
when in the post-Watergate
era it was considered a way
to reduce the influence of
money in politics.
He says this year fed-
eral assistance for the two
conventions was about $35
million, slightly more than
20 percent of the total costs
as the parties turn to private
donors to pay for the lavish
events. In 1980 federal grants
paid for nearly 95 percent of
convention costs.
Theres no need to
be writing checks to the
Democratic Party and the
Republican Party, Cole said.
Clearly its an idea whose
time has come and gone.
American taxpayers
should not be subsidizing
political party conventions,
added House Administrations
Committee chairman Dan
Lungren, R-Calif, character-
izing the events as week-
long televised movie sets and
almost entirely symbolic.
One voice of dissent came
from Rep. Marcia Fudge,
D-Ohio, who said pub-
lic financing was designed
to restore confidence in the
political process and the bill
would inject more private
influence over elections even
though the current level is
already appallingly high.
The Senate has approved
similar legislation and the
two sides must now resolve
differences in the two bills.
House bill ends funding of party conventions
WASHINGTON (AP)
A jump in sales of previ-
ously occupied homes and
further gains in home con-
struction suggest the U.S.
housing recovery is gaining
momentum.
The pair of reports
Wednesday follows other
signs of steady progress in
the housing market after
years of stagnation. New-
home sales are up, builder
confidence has reached its
highest level in more than
six years and increases in
home prices appear to be
sustainable.
Sales and construction
rates are still below healthy
levels, economists caution.
But the improvement has
been steady.
And the broader economy
is likely to benefit. When
home prices rise, Americans
typically feel wealthier
and spend more a point
Federal Reserve Chairman
Ben Bernanke made last
week after the Fed unveiled
a plan to lower mortgage
rates. Consumer spending
drives 70 percent of the eco-
nomic growth.
We have a real hous-
ing recovery taking root, and
that has positive implications
for the broader economy,
said Sal Guatieri, senior
economist at BMO Capital
Markets. If home prices
continue to rise, so, too, will
household wealth and con-
sumer confidence.
Sales of previously occu-
pied homes rose 7.8 percent
in August from July to a sea-
sonally adjusted annual rate
of 4.82 million, the National
Association of Realtors said
Wednesday. Thats the high-
est level since May 2010,
when sales were aided by
a federal home-buying tax
credit.
U.S. builders broke ground
on 2.3 percent more homes
and apartments in August
than July. The Commerce
Department said the annual
rate of construction rose to a
seasonally adjusted 750,000.
The increase was driven
the best rate of single-fam-
ily home construction since
April 2010.
Even with the gains, the
market has a long way back
to full health. Sales of pre-
viously occupied homes
remain below the more than
5.5 million thats consistent
with a thriving market. In
better economies, home-
builders start twice as many
homes.
Strict credit standards
and bigger down payment
requirements have made it
harder for many first-time
buyers who are critical
to a housing rebound to
qualify for mortgages. The
number of first-time home-
buyers made up just 31 per-
cent of the market in August.
In healthier markets, the per-
centage is more than 40 per-
cent.
For those who can qual-
ify, the market is tempting.
Mortgage rates are just above
record lows. Prices, on aver-
age, are much lower than
they were six years ago.
The Fed plans to spend
$40 billion a month to buy
mortgage bonds for as long
as it thinks necessary to
make home buying more
affordable. Bernanke said
the Fed will keep buying the
bonds until the job market
improves substantially.

LOCAL ROUNDUP
By JIM METCALFE
jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com
Lima Central Catholic was
the heavy favorite to take the
Northwest Conference grid
title in 2012, its last year in
the conference.
Jefferson is looking to
knock them off Friday night
at Lima Stadium (7:30 p.m.
kickoff) in a battle of league
unbeatens (4-0, 4-0).
However, head coach Bub
Lindeman knows what
his Wildcats (ranked
6th in Region 18) face
on the turf of LCCs
home field.
They dont have
many weaknesses, if
any; this is one well-
rounded football team.
They are back to
being more of a run-
ning team after los-
ing Ty OConnor from last
year: instead of 50/50, they
are more 70/30, Lindeman
began. They are featuring
Mykale Rogers more and he
can flat-out fly; if he gets a
step, were not going to catch
him. He isnt the only one;
they are loaded with athletes
across the board. Add to that
a physical offensive line and
you have a very tough com-
bination.
Defensively, they have
so much speed at every posi-
tion; they just fly to the foot-
ball. They have been mostly
a 4-man line but they can all
move. They are loaded with
playmakers.
That Delphos lineup will
severely test a Jefferson unit
scoring 42.5 points and 442.3
yards per game and ceding
16.3 points and 259 yards
per.
That means standard-
bearers like tailback Zavier
Buzard (85 rushes, 820 yards,
12 scores), fullback Quinten
Wessell (42 totes, 335 yards,
6), quarterback Austin
Jettinghoff (26-of-51 passing,
540 yards, 5, no picks; 17
extra points), tight end Ross
Thompson (12 catches, 275
yards, 2), Drew Kortokrax (8
grabs, 160 yards, 1; 11 punts,
44.7-yard average; 4
punt returns, 28.3 aver-
age), left tackle Geoff
Ketcham (11 pancake
blocks) and left guard
Evan Stant (10) will
have to be even better.
As well, that
defense will have to
even more on its toes,
putting more pressure
on the likes of Dalton
Hicks (31 solo tackles, 17
assists), Wessell (36 and 11),
Thompson (33 and 13, 4 for
loss), Kortokrax (23 and 4),
Jordan McCann (21.5 and 3),
Zach Kimmett (18.5 and 6),
Colin McConnahea (15 and
8), Nick Fitch (15 and 8) and
Chris Truesdale (4 picks).
We really have stressed
containment this week on
defense; we cannot let any
of these guys turn the cor-
ner or get behind us. We
may not be able to be as
aggressive but we have to
be very sound in what we
do because they will be able
to challenge any weaknesses
we have, Lindeman noted.
Offensively, we have to
hang onto the football. We
want to run the ball, which
means establishing the line of
scrimmage. For us, the best
defense is for our offense to
be on the field a lot.
The Wildcats come off a
48-0 pasting of Allen East.
We knew their strug-
gles coming in they are
pretty down right now
but as coaches, we stressed
all week about getting off
quickly and getting a lead.
We did that; we scored 13
points real quick and that got
to them right away,
Lindeman added.
You dont want to
let a team in that situ-
ation hang around and
gain any confidence;
we didnt allow that.
Any time you can
get a shutout and get
your junior varsity at
least a quarterback of
play under the lights
is a bonus.
The Thunderbirds of
coach Jerry Cooper (3rd in
Region 18) seem to be com-
ing into their own, fresh off
a 40-8 drilling of Columbus
Grove.
I didnt think we played
particularly well in our opener
at St. Johns; we had a couple
of special teams breakdowns
and turnovers that almost cost
us but we played well enough
defensively. Then the next
week, we had some break-
downs in defensive cover-
ages in a 42-21 victory over
Crestview, Cooper, sport-
ing a 72-17 record in eight
years, began. Paulding we
beat 48-0 and basically had
our varsity play a half, so its
hard to tell from that. Last
week, we played really well.
Weve been fortunate enough
that we have a lot of athletes
and playmakers on both sides
of the ball but we dont want
to rely on just that. Weve
been working on our weak-
nesses, such as mistakes in
the kicking game, and hope
weve shored those up.
Weve talked a lot about
being more consistent on both
sides of the ball throughout
the game, each and every
play.
Among the key per-
formers for this crew
of T-Birds that Cooper
pointed out were Rogers
(wideout/running back),
quarterback Colin Stolly
(hes made the posi-
tion his own) with
Sam Huffman returning
from injury but relegat-
ed to defense last week
running back Jon
Washington (averaging
8.0 yards per carry; hell
get more as the season wears
on), cornerbacks Ryan Pitts
and Darius West and inside
linebacker Kalito Lasenby.
The first thing you notice
with Jefferson is theyve been
scoring some points this year:
38 at Waynesfield, over 60
versus Paulding, 21 against
Bluffton and then last week.
This is also a veteran team
from last year with that is
more mature physically and
understanding the game,
Cooper added. They are
playing with confidence and
that is always a concern.
We know what we have
to do; buckle our chin straps
and stop the run. They have a
very nice back in Buzard and
they run a lot of double-tight-
end looks.

Musings
jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com
One big controversy of
Week 2 of the National
Football League was the
bull-rush done by the Tampa
Bay Buccaneers in the clos-
ing seconds of their game
with the New York Giants.
The G-Men
were prepar-
ing to down
the ball in their
Victory for-
mation when
the Buccos
defensive line
crashed into
the offensive
line, trying to force a fumble
or something, and knocking
Eli Manning on his keister.
Well, in the post-game
handshake, Giants coach
Tom Coughlin had ... some-
thing to say to new Tampa
coach Greg Schiano to the
effect that it wasnt appreci-
ated.
Schianos response was
that they had done this at
Rutgers many times and it
had worked and that he was
trying to instill that same
kind of play until the refer-
ee signals the game is over
mentality in his team.
He added that his team
would do it again if the
opportunity presented itself.
That is a very good atti-
tude to have but, at the same
time, this is also the pros,
where livelihoods are on the
line.
There is a culture
maybe necessary with all
the concerns about injuries;
its a tough enough sport
in this day and age that
says you dont do this; this
is crossing the line.
There may have been
injuries as a result of this,
too; the offensive line was
not prepared for this and
Coughlin did make a refer-
ence to some linemen com-
ing in late.
I dont think The League
needs to get involved this
is like the unwritten rules
of baseball: for example, if
a batter gets intentionally
hit in one inning, the other
teams batters better be pre-
pared to get plunked in the
next; or you dont try to
bunt to break up a no-hitter
late or their will be conse-
quences.
However, as the Giants
players vowed afterward
we wont forget this
there may be some prob-
lems in they ever meet
again or some other team
may decide to take the law
into their own hands; Mr.
Schiano better not belly-
ache and complain if and
when a team does the same
thing to him.
Not saying he will but I
have read of a few coaches
that had no problem running
up the score but when it was
done to them, it was not so
good; or they didnt stick
around when they knew it
was likely going to happen
to them on a regular basis
and made their successors
pay the price.
The Reds are oh-so-
close to clinching a spot
in the playoffs and Aroldis
Chapman is starting to
throw again.
The Reds are worried
about their new star closer
and his arm troubles, shut-
ting him down the last nine
days.
It appears he will be fine
for the stretch run and the
playoffs.
However, the question of
the Washington Nationals
shutting down their star
starter, Stephen Strasburg,
for the season after he
reached his innings limit
has been a hopt topic.
One, I was surprised they
actually did it in the heat
of a pennant race but they
almost had to after talking
all season about it.
Here is a good question:
if they make it to the World
Series, would they then
decide to bring him back?
My gut says no: unless
he does throwing on the
side, he would have been
out for well over a month
and likely would do more
harm than good.
Plus, that would defeat
the whole purpose of shut-
ting him down to begin
with.
Ostensibly, they did so
in an effort to keep him
healthy and not damage his
chances in the future.
I did not know they did
the same thing with Jordan
Zimmerman, who had the
same Tommy John surgery
a year before done by the
same renowned surgeon,
Dr. Lewis Yocum and
the year after he had his
innings limited, he did not
miss a start.
I have read a few places
that this was also done at
the behest of his agent,
super-guy Scott Boras, for
reasons regarding long-term
contract discussions
especially when free-agen-
cy nears and the like but
that will never be known
for sure.
Its possible but an
agents job is to look out
for the best interests of his
or her client. Most of us
dont like it but I guess we
do understand, especially
someone that has a lot of
potential for injury.
Wonder if it will
happen again?
By BARRY WILNER
Cam Newton is enough reason to
tune into any NFL game. That Newton
and Carolina come off an upset of
New Orleans and now face the incon-
sistent defending Super Bowl champi-
ons tonight makes Giants-Panthers even
more intriguing.
This is a chance for the Panthers to
declare themselves something more than
a fun team to watch.
This is a big stage for us, coach
Ron Rivera said. Its been a long time
coming that weve played a game like
this. Its the type of game that can show
that were really making progress. To
come back and play really well would
speak well as to where were headed as
a football team.
Where the Giants were headed last
Sunday through 30 minutes was 0-2.
Tampa Bays Josh Freeman picked apart
a New York defense that is struggling in
the secondary, in part due to injuries but
also because of weak performances from
usual standouts, especially cornerback
Corey Webster.
Carolina, a 1-point underdog at home,
has Steve Smith and a rapidly develop-
ing Brandon LaFell at receiver.
Hes established himself as a very
good complement to Steve Smith,
Rivera said.
But the Giants (No. 8 in the AP
Pro32) have a way of confounding
everyone, just as they did against the
Buccaneers with an awful first half fol-
lowed by a sensational comeback. In the
same game, Eli Manning went from hor-
rid to spectacular, and the Panthers (No.
17, AP Pro32) need to improve their
pass rush and run defense.
We think they will, making the kind
of statement Rivera is hoping for.

Wednesday night under the

non-league victory.
Elida hosts Van Buren 2
p.m. Saturday.
CLEVELAND Liam
Hendriks finally has a win,
thanks in part to another
productive night for Josh
Willingham.
Willingham had four hits
and four RBIs to help Hendriks
and the Twins beat Cleveland
6-4 on Wednesday, dropping
the Indians into last place in
the AL Central.
Hendriks (1-7) allowed two
runs and two hits in six effec-
tive innings to get the win
in his 18th career start. The
right-hander was pelted with
shaving cream by happy team-
mates after picking up the elu-
sive win.
Willingham belted a tie-
breaking 2-run homer off Zach
McAllister (5-8) in the fifth
inning, giving Minnesota a
4-2 lead. He also had three
singles.
Willingham now has 35
homers and 110 RBIs in his
first year with the Twins.
Its the most homers by a
Minnesota player since Hall-
of-Famer Harmon Killebrews
41 in 1970. His previous career
high for RBIs was 98 set last
season with Oakland.
Willingham moved to
Minnesota as a free agent,
turning down Clevelands con-
tract offer last winter.
Cleveland shortstop
Asdrubal Cabrera homered
but left in the seventh with a
sore right wrist as the Indians
fell to 5-12 against Minnesota.
Manager Manny Acta said
Cabrera will not play today.
Glen Perkins worked the
ninth for his 14th save.
Minnesotas Joe Mauer
went 1-for-4 with a walk and
had an RBI single taken away
when the umpires reversed a
call. Mauer is hitting .324 while
contending for his fourth AL
batting title. Detroits Miguel
Cabrera leads at .333.
Mauer hit a sinking liner to
left with Jamey Carroll on sec-
ond base in the eighth. Vinny
Rottino made a diving catch
but third-base umpire Mike
Muchlinski gave a safe sign as
Carroll scored.
Acta argued with
Muchlinski, a fill-in ump from
the minors. The entire crew
huddled for a moment and
Muchlinski reversed his call,
ending the inning and keeping
the score at 6-2.
Jason Kipnis and Michael
Brantley each singled in runs in
the bottom half but Cleveland
fell to 11-39 since July 26. It
has dropped 11 of its last 13
at home.
Hendriks, who made four
starts in 2011, was the fifth
pitcher since 1920 to go win-
less in his first 17 starts, three
shy of the record shared by Bill
Caudill of the Chicago Cubs
(1979-81) and Mike Mohler of
Oakland (1993-97).
Cabrera put Cleveland
ahead 1-0 with his 15th homer
in the first. He later aggravated
a wrist injury that caused him
to miss four starts last week.
Mauer and Willingham
had consecutive run-scoring
singles in the third to give
Minnesota a 2-1 lead.
Rottino hustled for the
tying run in the bottom half.
He walked, stole second and
advanced to third on a ground-
out. He waited until shortstop
Pedro Florimon fielded the
ball hit by Shin-Soo Choo and
threw to first, then took off and
beat Justin Morneaus throw
Twins win 6-4, drop Indians to last place

Growing the Cure
launched at 50th
Farm Science Review
Information submitted
COLUMBUS What
if the food we ate fought
against cancer?
Recent food-based
research at Ohio State
Universitys College of Food,
Agricultural, and
Environmental Sciences
(CFAES) and Comprehensive
Cancer Center-Arthur G.
James Hospital and Solove
Research Institute (OSUCCC-
The James) has discovered
that fruits and vegetables con-
tain natural cancer-fighting
capabilities when consumed
appropriately.
Five Ohio- and Indiana-
based cooperatives have rec-
ognized these findings and
are collaborating to support
cancer research by develop-
ing Growing the Cure, a pro-
gram that encourages a col-
laborative effort to fund food
research for cancer preven-
tion. Heritage Cooperative,
United
Landmark, Town &
Country, Trupointe and
Jackson Jennings Co-op have
all committed to raise aware-
ness and financial support for
the innovative research being
done at OSUCCC-The James
and CFAES.
Together, the five coop-
eratives of Growing the
Cure presented a check for
$103,301.82 to OSUCCC-The
James at the Vice Presidents
Luncheon during the 50th
Farm Science Review.
Dr. Steven Clinton, leading
researcher and medical oncol-
ogist at Ohio State, reminisced
about his childhood agricul-
ture experience and the dire
importance of a sturdy, three-
legged stool to sit on while
milking dairy cattle.
Those three sturdy legs
are also important in cancer
research: prevention, early
detection and treatment, he
said. All three aspects must
work together to gain success
in finding a cure.
Money raised by these
cooperatives will be split
equally between OSUCCC-
The James and CFAES
through the Cooperatives for
the Cure of Cancer endow-
ment fund, which is account-
ed for through Ohio State.
Contributions can be made
online by going to www.
giveto.osu.edu/growingth-
ecure. More information on
Growing the Cure can be

back across the diamond. He
scored on a single by Kipnis.
Chris Herrmann made it 5-2
with a run-scoring groundout
in the fifth off Chris Seddon.
Willingham added an RBI sin-
gle in the sixth.
McAllister gave up four
runs and eight hits over 4 1/3
innings and dropped to 0-4
in seven starts since beating
Boston on Aug. 11. In 12 starts
since defeating Tampa Bay
on July 16, the right-hander
is 1-7.
NOTES: Cleveland activated DH
Travis Hafner, out since Aug. 6 with back
inflammation.
Orioles 3, Mariners 1
SEATTLE Adam Jones hit a 2-run
homer in the top of the 11th inning and
Baltimore won its 15th straight extra-
inning game with a 3-1 victory over Seattle
on Wednesday night.
A night after the teams played an
18-inning marathon that lasted nearly 6
hours, Jones, the 1-time Mariners pros-
pect, gave Baltimore a huge boost in
its race with the Yankees for the lead
in the AL East. Even with New York
sweeping a doubleheader from Toronto
on Wednesday, the Orioles stayed just a
half-game back in the division race. The
Orioles moved into the top spot in the AL
wild-card race after Oakland was handed a
6-2 loss in Detroit.
According to the Orioles, with infor-
mation from the Elias Sports Bureau, the
15 straight extra-inning wins is the longest
streak since the Cleveland Indians won 17
straight in 1949.
Jones turned on a 3-2 pitch from
Seattles Josh Kinney (0-3) for his 30th
homer.
Jim Johnson pitched the bottom of
the 11th for his major league-leading 45th
save.
YANKEES 4, BLUE JAYS 2, 1st
game; YANKEES 2, BLUE JAYS 1,
2nd game
NEW YORK (AP) Ichiro Suzuki
had a go-ahead single in the eighth
inning, his seventh hit of the day, to
help New York complete a double-
header sweep of Toronto.
Suzuki made a difficult catch with
the bases loaded in the eighth inning of
the opener to preserve a lead for Andy
Pettitte.
Suzuki had three hits in the opener
batting leadoff in place of Derek Jeter,
who rested his sore ankle in the first
game of the day-night doubleheader.
Jeter started at shortstop for the first
time in a week and got his 200th hit on
Ricky Romeros first pitch.
Rafael Soriano closed both games,
notching his 41st and 42nd saves, the
first time he saved two in one day.
The Blue Jays were without short-
stop Yunel Escobar, who began a
3-game suspension for wearing eye
black displaying an anti-gay slur writ-
ten in Spanish during a game last week-
end against Boston. Toronto dropped to
66-81, guaranteeing it will not have a
winning record this season.
With the score 1-1, Curtis
Granderson was walked by Steve
Delabar (4-3) to open the eighth. He
moved up on a sacrifice and stole
third. With two outs, Suzuki slapped
an opposite-field hit to left for the lead.
Suzuki stole two bases in the inning to
give him four.
The Yankees had seven steals in
the nightcap, their most in a game in
three years.
Cody Eppley (1-2) got one out for
his first win since April 27, 2011.
Romero remained tied for the Blue
Jays record with 13 straight losses and
walked five to up his AL-leading total
to 99. It was his third game in which he
allowed one run and didnt win two
no-decisions.
Adeiny Hechavarrias RBI single
in the second after Phelps walked was
just the 24th run Toronto has scored in
Romeros last 13 starts.
In the opener, Pettitte (4-3) gave
up four hits in his first start since a
hot shot off the bat of Clevelands
Casey Kotchman broke his left fibula
on June 27.
TIGERS 6, ATHLETICS 2
DETROIT Miguel Cabrera hom-
ered, Omar Infante drove in three runs
and Justin Verlander pitched six score-
less innings to help Detroit.
Verlander (15-8) allowed five hits
and three walks while striking out five.
The Tigers have won two straight
over the As in their chase to catch the
AL Central-leading Chicago.
Oakland, clinging to an AL wild-
card spot, has dropped three straight
and might have had a costly loss on the
mound because Brett Anderson (4-2)
left the game after 2-plus innings with a
strained right oblique.
Detroit shortstop Jhonny Peralta
had an error in the fifth snapping a
75-game errorless streak but helped
turn a double play to end the inning.
He chipped in at the plate in the home
half, hitting an RBI single to put Detroit
ahead 4-0.
Cabrera hit his 41st home run and
got his 130th RBI.
RAYS 13, RED SOX 3
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla.
Desmond Jennings hit a 2-run triple
during Tampa Bays 7-run sixth-inning
and the Rays snapped a 4-game losing
streak.
Jennings scored following his triple
against reliever Alfredo Aceves when
the throw from the outfield eluded
third baseman Pedro Ciriaco. Four
Boston pitchers walked six in the sixth,
including passes to Carlos Pena and
Jose Molina with the bases loaded.
Luke Scott had a sacrifice fly and Jeff
Keppinger added an RBI single.
Keppinger hit a solo homer and
Pena added a 2-shot off Daisuke
Matsuzaka (1-6) as Tampa Bay went
ahead 5-3 in the fourth.
Chris Archer (1-3) allowed three
runs and five hits over five innings for
the Rays.
CHICAGO On the brink of
clinching a playoff spot, Brandon
Phillips was missing his manager
on Wednesday night.
Drew Stubbs hit a tie-break-
ing RBI single in the 11th inning
and Cincinnati beat the Chicago
Cubs 6-5 without Dusty Baker,
who was diagnosed with an
irregular heartbeat.
Baker left the team before the
game to undergo chest X-rays
that were intended to rule out
pneumonia. Bench coach Chris
Speier brought the lineup card to
home plate and there was no sign
of the 63-year-old Baker during
the game.
Baker, who managed the
Cubs for four seasons, hopes to
rejoin the Reds on Friday.
Phillips lazy popup with two
out in the 11th on a windy night
at Wrigley Field was misplayed
by Cubs rightfielder David
DeJesus, allowing him to reach
second. Stubbs then smoked a
run-scoring single to left against
Alberto Cabrera (0-1).
I had to worry about my
daddy, Phillips said. I cant
have daddy pass out on us. We
cant let that happen. I am glad
he is all right. He is going to be
in my prayers when I get back
to the hotel. Before I go to sleep
make sure I say some prayers for
him and family also. Hopefully I
miss him because I miss him, I
miss him and the toothpicks and
the wristbands, I miss it all.
Logan Ondrusek (5-2) worked
out of a bases-loaded jam in the
10th to earn the win. Jonathan
Broxton earned his fourth save
in six chances since joining
Cincinnati in July.
Joey Votto reached four times
and drove in three runs for the
Reds (90-59), who have won
three straight to become the sec-
ond team in the majors to reach
90 wins. Cincinnati also moved a
season-high 31 games over .500.
Alfonso Soriano hit his 30th
homer for Chicago, which trailed
5-1 after five innings.
Cincinnati lowered its magic
number to clinch a playoff spot
to one with the Los Angeles
Dodgers splitting a doubleheader
at Washington. The Reds magic
number for a second NL Central
title in three years is three.
The Reds used five straight
singles to score three times in the
third. Votto drove in a pair with
a bases-loaded single to left and
Ryan Ludwick singled in Stubbs
to make it 4-0.
Votto also doubled in a run
in the first.
Reds starter Mike Leake
retired his first 11 batters before
Anthony Rizzos 2-out single
in the fourth. After a walk to
Soriano, Starlin Castro singled
in Rizzo.
Castro finished with four sin-
gles and leads all major league
shortstops with 76 RBIs
Soriano hit a long 2-run
drive onto Waveland in the sixth
inning, giving him six career
30-homer seasons, including two
with the Cubs. He now has 103
RBIs, one short of matching his
career high.
Castro followed with a
2-out single and scored on Luis
Valbuenas double down the left-
field line, trimming the Reds
lead to 5-4. Leake then caught a
lackadaisical Valbuena wander-
ing off of second base to end the
inning.
The 24-year-old right-hander
allowed four runs and six hits
over six innings.
The pesky Cubs rallied with
two outs in the eighth against J.J.
Hoover, who walked three bat-
ters including one that forced
in the tying run.
Cubs starter Chris Rusin was
tagged for five runs and 10 hits
in five innings. The 25-year-old
had given up just three runs and
nine hits over his last two starts
both of which also lasted five
innings.
NOTES: Ludwick was taken
out for precautionary reasons in
the fifth inning due to left groin
tightness. ... Reds LHP Aroldis
Chapman said his fatigued left
shoulder feels good after
throwing a bullpen session.
Chapman added through an inter-
preter that he likely needs two or
three more bullpens to work on
his command
NATIONALS 3, DODGERS 1, 1st
game; DODGERS 7, NATIONALS 6,
2nd game
WASHINGTON Matt Kemp
scored a phantom run early, then hit a
go-ahead homer in the ninth inning
right after Washington rallied with a
6-run eighth and the struggling Los
Angeles Dodgers grabbed a 7-6 victory
Wednesday night for a doubleheader
split that prevented the Nationals from
sewing up a playoff berth.
Kemp was credited with crossing
home to give Los Angeles a 6-0 lead
in the fourth, even though TV replays
showed the innings last out already had
been recorded on third baseman Ryan
Zimmermans head-over-heels, reach-
ing tag of runner Adrian Gonzalez.
That extra run loomed large when
the hosts who had won the opener 3-1
thanks largely to Jordan Zimmermanns
six innings of 1-run baseball wound
up sending 12 batters to the plate while
scoring six runs in the eighth.
Michael Morse had a homer and
a 2-run single and Washington chased
Josh Beckett, who had allowed only
two hits through seven innings.
The announced crowd of 26,931
was getting loud, perhaps anticipating
a comeback and playoff-clinching vic-
tory, when Kemp drove an 0-2 pitch
from Tyler Clippard (2-5) over the wall
in center for his 19th homer.
Ronald Belisario (7-1) earned the
win by getting the last two outs of the
eighth inning. Brandon League picked
up his third save with a hitless ninth.
Zimmermann (11-8) allowed one
run and six hits in six innings in the
opener. Clippard pitched the ninth for
his 32nd save.
Dodgers starter Aaron Harang
(9-10) lasted just 4 2-3 innings in the
first game.
BRAVES 3, MARLINS 0
MIAMI Kris Medlen pitched
eight innings of 4-hit ball and the Braves
won his start for the 21st straight time.
Medlen (9-1) lost the first two starts
of his career in 2009. He hasnt taken a
loss in any of his 26 starts since, with
the Braves prevailing in the last 21 of
those making them the first team
since the New York Yankees to have
such a streak, according to STATS
LLC.
The Yankees won 22 straight times
when Whitey Ford started games from
1950 through 1953, a span interrupted
by Ford serving in the Korean War.
Chipper Jones, playing his last
game against Miami, went 1-for-4, get-
ting hit No. 2,721 to tie Gehrig for 58th
on baseballs career list.
Rob Brantly doubled for Miami.
Josh Johnson (8-13) gave up three runs
in six innings.
Craig Kimbrel picked up his 38th
save in 41 chances for Atlanta.
PHILLIES 3, METS 2
NEW YORK Ryan Howard hit
a go-ahead homer with two outs in the
ninth inning and the Phillies rallied for
a dramatic victory.
Jimmy Rollins hit a leadoff home
run but the Phillies went into the ninth
with only two hits. Chase Utley worked
a 2-out walk against rookie Josh Edgin
(1-2), filling in for ailing Mets closer
Frank Francisco and Howard launched
a 93 mph fastball off the facing of the
second deck in right field to give his
team a 3-2 lead.
Jeremy Horst (2-0) got the win and
Jonathan Papelbon worked a 1-hit ninth
for his 36th save in 40 tries.
David Wright hit a solo homer but
the Mets (66-82) dropped their eighth
straight home game and 24th in the last
28 at Citi Field.
BREWERS 3, PIRATES 1
PITTSBURGH Marco Estrada
pitched seven scoreless innings and
rookie shortstop Jean Segura hit a dou-
ble and triple as the surging Brewers
stayed in contention for a postseason
berth.
Estrada (4-6) allowed three hits and
retired his last 10 batters while improv-
ing to 4-1 with a 1.23 ERA in his last
six starts. John Axford worked around
Andrew McCutchens leadoff home run
in the ninth inning while recording his
30th save in 38 opportunities.
Milwaukee has won four straight
games, seven of eight and 22 of 28.
They remained 2 1/2 games behind St.
Louis in the race for the second NL
wild card.
Pittsburgh has lost 14 of 18 and 20
of 27 to drop to 74-74, the first time it
has been at .500 since it was 26-26 on
June 2. Rookie Kyle McPherson (0-1)
took the loss in his first major league
start, giving up two runs and seven hits
in 4 1-3 innings.
CARDINALS 5, ASTROS 0
ST. LOUIS David Freese and
Yadier Molina each hit their 20th home
run of the season and Lance Lynn threw
6 1/3 innings to lift the Cardinals to
the win.
St. Louis now leads the Los Angeles
Dodgers by two games in the race
for the second wild-card spot in the
National League. Milwaukee is 2 1/2
games back.
Lynn (16-7), in his second start
following a demotion to the bullpen,
allowed three hits in a 102-pitch stint.
Freese hit a two-run homer off
Lucas Harrell (10-10) in the second
inning. Molina added a solo shot in
the fourth.
DIAMONDBACKS 6, PADRES
2
PHOENIX Adam Eaton tripled
to spark a 3-run fifth inning and Arizona
rallied to beat San Diego.
Dan Wheeler had an RBI triple and
Miguel Montero and Paul Goldschmidt
added run-scoring doubles for the
Diamondbacks.
Arizona starter Trevor Cahill (12-
11) went six innings, allowing two runs
and five hits with four walks and four
strikeouts.
Max Venable and John Baker had
consecutive RBI singles for the Padres.
Padres starter Edinson Volquez
(10-11) gave up four runs and eight hits
over six innings.
GIANTS 7, ROCKIES 1
SAN FRANCISCO Matt Cain
pitched eight solid innings to earn his
career-best 15th win, Pablo Sandoval
homered for his first time in two months
and San Francisco moved another game
closer to clinching the NL West title.
Sandovals 3-run shot in the first
inning off Tyler Chatwood (4-5) was
his ninth homer of the season and
helped hand Cain (15-5) another mile-
stone in a season full of them.
Cain allowed four hits, struck out
eight and walked four. Chris Nelson
scored Colorados only run on D.J.
LeMahieus flyout in the fifth.
Stubbs leads Reds past
Cubs 6-5 in 11 innings

Horoscope
By Bernice Bede Osol
Rift between
writer, sons
fance
Dear Annie: Our son has
been dating Nicole for sev-
eral years. She has two teen-
age daughters from a previ-
ous marriage. Although they
live several hours from us,
my husband and I have done
everything to make Nicole
feel welcome.
Last Christmas, she and
her daughters opened their
gifts, tossed them
aside and went
to watch TV. In
May, I sent her a
Mothers Day card
wishing her a nice
day with her kids.
She responded
with an e-mail
saying that since
her mother passed
away, she no lon-
ger celebrates
Mothers Day. A
month later, she
was in an accident and spent
a few days in the hospital.
We sent flowers and wishes
for a speedy recovery. Our
son said the flowers were
not her favorite so she threw
them out.
Two months ago, my son
proposed to Nicole. We sent
a nice engagement gift with
a note saying we would be
happy to help with the wed-
ding preparations. After two
weeks, I asked my son wheth-
er the gift had arrived. He
said, Yes. Its sitting on the
table. She hasnt got around
to opening it. A day later she
sent an e-mail that said, I
will be making my own deci-
sions about the wedding. No
mention of the gift.
Last week, the two love-
birds came to a family event
at our home. I mentioned to
Nicole that I have an antique
bridal veil that is a family
heirloom, and I would be
honored to let her borrow it
if she wished. She said it was
too old-fashioned.
Our son shrugs off
Nicoles behavior. I under-
stand that marrying her is
his choice and not ours. Are
we approaching this wrong?
-- Perplexed Parents
Dear Perplexed: No, you
have been very accommo-
dating. Nicole simply seems
rude and unkind, and the
relationship will not get bet-
ter unless your son demands
it. Please continue to be wel-
coming, but back off a bit so
she doesnt feel smothered.
Dont make suggestions or
offer opinions about the wed-
ding. She is not receptive
or appreciative. Instead, find
things to compliment about
her plans so she is less inse-
cure about her status and
taste. Nicole is likely to be
a difficult daughter-in-law.
Our sympathies.
Dear Annie: I am a
57-year-old male in good
health and physical shape.
I have been divorced for 26
years. I have not been on a
date in three years. This is not
because I dont wish to date,
but because I dont want to
just go through the motions.
I am close to my children
and family members, and I
know they care about me and
dont want me to be alone. The
problem is, they constantly say,
You must lower your stan-
dards if you want to find some-
one. What are my standards?
Simply put, I have
no desire to be with
someone I am not
physically attracted
to. They dont think
this should mat-
ter, and maybe they
have a point, but its
my decision. I have
no problem waiting
for the right person
and realize it may
never happen.
I love my family
and dont want to
hurt their feelings. Other than
rudely telling them to butt
out, how can I get them to
stop? -- Enough
Dear Enough: As long
as you understand that you
may be missing out on some
terrific partners for superfi-
cial reasons, this is entirely
your choice. It is not rude
to say, I know you love me
and mean well, but I need
to make my own decisions,
whether you agree or not.
Please stop commenting on
my social life.
Dear Annie: I read the
letter from Omerta in New
York, who sent a monetary
gift to a friend in financial
straits, insisting that he use it
to buy a luxury item. She
was offended when he used it
to pay an outstanding bill.
I wonder whether she ever
considered that, to her friend,
knowing he would have elec-
tricity or telephone use for
the next month might be a
luxury. Ending their 40-year
friendship over this is cer-
tainly her loss. -- Cherish
Your Friends
Annies Mailbox
FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 2012
Make an effort to keep all your
promising avenues
open in the coming
months, especially
with persons for
whom youve done
some big favors in
the past. If theyre hankering to repay
you, they will need a direct route.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) --
Usually youre a pretty good judge
of character, yet for some reason you
could be a bit gullible and taken in by
a person pretending to be something
that he or she isnt.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Its
OK to focus more on the big picture
rather than on its details, but in order
to function effectively, you need to be
cognizant of both.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) --
Youd be wise not to try to keep up
with friends who are able to spend
far more than you can. If you find
yourself along for the ride you might
use funds that would be better saved.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec.
21) -- Its highly likely that youll
allow yourself to be influenced by
a pal who has good salesmanship
abilities but faulty judgment. Youll
regret it if you let this person call the
shots.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19) -- If you find yourself having an
inclination to dominate conversations,
remember, matters that may be
significant to you are not of equal
importance to your friends.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) --
Guard against the urge to overindulge
mentally, physically or financially. If
youre participating with friends in
something fun, dont cram all your
high living into one experience.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) --
Friends and close associates are aware
of your recent accomplishments, so
you should stop tooting your horn.
The noise you produce will begin to
sound sour.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) --
Show enthusiasm and be optimistic
as possible, but also be realistic.
Make sure any rose-colored outlook
is founded upon a truly feasible
premise.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
-- If youre a softie, your generous
nature is likely to be imposed upon.
Someone who picks up on this will
try to manipulate you to his or her
advantage.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
-- Your position with another is not
as strong as you might want to lead
yourself to believe. Take it slow and
dont rely on the other party more than
is warranted.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) --
Be realistic about any problem that
you have to deal with and know that it
wont automatically take care of itself.
Dont sweep it under the rug -- you
might instead create a dust storm.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Why
expose yourself to a large crowd that
could easily bore you when you could
be with a few good pals whom you
always enjoy? Youll be happier with
fun, close friends right now.
