Jennings receives Excellent on ODE Report Card

By NANCY SPENCER nspencer@delphosherald.com FORT JENNINGS School board members were pleased to learn Wednesday Fort Jennings Local School are again rated Excellent on its Ohio Department of Education School Report Card. The district met all 26 indicators, as well as the Annual Yearly Progress and ValueAdded and rated a 103.2 on the Performance Index. The board noted the challenges faced by the ODE with attendance questions from several districts in the Columbus area. Superintendent Nick Langhals told the board he is interested to see how the ODE handles the school ratings next year. They were supposed to change the rating to a letter grade this year but the attendance-reporting scandal made that impossible, he said. Next year they are supposed to ge t a letter-grade rating. I have a problem with that. We dont give our students one grade for the whole grading period; they get a grade in each class. I dont know how fair it is to give districts one grade when there are 26 indicators. Treasurer Val Maag presented the districts 5-year Forecast to be sent to the state by Oct. 31. The guesstimation shows the district with a balance of $447,113 on June 30, 2013; $302,405 on June 30, 2014; $84,944 on June 30, 2015; a negative $235,489 on June 30, 2016; and a negative $954,558 on June 30, 2017. Langhals also gave an update on the schools Race to the Top program.

First Allen County West Nile Virus death reported

St. Johns kicks off 100th Fall Festival

LIMA Allen Countys first 2012 West Nile Virus (WNV)-associated death was reported today by the Allen County Health Department. Five previous WNV deaths have been reported in Ohio. We would like to extend our condolences to the family and friends of this individual, Allen County Health Commissioner Kathy Luhn said. West Nile activity increased in Ohio and the United States this year. The mosquito that easily transmits the virus thrives in dry conditions like those experienced this spring and summer. As of October 11, Ohio has recorded 110 human cases. In 2011, only 21 cases were reported in the state. Mosquito activity in the area has decreased now that the weather has turned colder and cases of WNV are beginning to decline. Because the increase in WNV has been seen in other areas of the country, travelers who plan to visit warmer climates are encouraged to use mosquito repellent to decrease their risk of becoming infected with this and other mosquito-borne diseases. Four out of five people infected with West Nile Virus will not develop any symptoms of the disease. Those who are affected can experience headache, fever, tiredness and body aches that can last from a few days to several weeks.

We had a Value-Added seminar two weeks ago and I am attending an ODE conference Nov. 1 and 2 in Columbus on Race to the Top, he said. The board accepted the resignation of varsity boys baseball coach Jeff Swick. Swick attended the meeting and told the board he was going to focus on his family and is now heading the Hardball for ALS fundraiser with 15-20 games coming up in April. I have been involved in Fort Jennings baseball in one way or the other for the last 25 years. I played, was a volunteer, an assistant coach, ACME coach and head coach. I hope the district has been pleased with my performance. This was a difficult decision, he added. Assistant baseball coach Jared Kleman also tendered his resignation as he has moved from the district. Principal Kathy Verhoff gave her building report, noting fourth-graders are in Grand Rapids today on a Miami-Erie Canal field trip. Students in Pre K-3 will have a chance to go through the Fire Safety Trailer from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Friday; teachers in grades K-8 will attend a seminar on curricular mapping Oct. 23-25; and parent/teacher conferences are Oct. 31 and Nov. 1 with students also on break Nov. 2. Langhals reported on high school activities, noting the fall music concert is at 7 p.m. today; high school parent/ teachers conferences are also Oct. 31 and Nov. 1; and the fall athletic banquet is on Nov. 5.

A 2000 Volvo semi tractor-trailer owned by the University of Northwestern Ohio and driven by Cameron McClellen, 20, of Carrollton, Ky., was westbound on US 30 and was turning right at Convoy Road to go east when he was struck in the rear by another westbound semi, a 1996 Freightliner driven by Joseph Weese, 38, of Carey.

Elida board discusses teacher evaluations

BY STACY TAFF staff@delphosherald.com ELIDA During Tuesdays meeting of the Elida Board of Education, Superintendent Don Diglia took a moment to tell the board about the legislation concerning teacher evaluations. As you are aware, one of the issues we will be dealing with this year is the new teacher evaluations system, he said. The fact that the law that addresses teacher evaluation is in two different pieces, House Bill 153 and Senate Bill 316, does confuse things a bit. We currently have a bargaining agreement that is in effect until September 24, 2014 and we will concentrate on House Bill 153. With the new teacher and principal evaluations, student growth will account for 50 percent and the other 50 percent will be based on teacher performance. New ratings are Accomplished, Proficient, Developing or Ineffective. To further complicate things, we are also a part of Race to the Top, which could move us up a year in the implementation, but I believe we should take it one step at a time and first deal with House Bill 153. The bill clearly requires the district to adopt a standards-based teacher evaluation policy by July 1 and it must conform to the framework for evaluations of teachers developed by the

Suicide attempts worry Ohio school officials

CHARDON (AP) Seven suicide attempts by students at the same Ohio high school where a mass shooting occurred in February have officials concerned. The (Willoughby) NewsHerald reports there were seven suicide attempts by six Chardon High School students from May through September. Administrators are now taking action to try to prevent others. School district superintendent Joseph Bergant told the newspaper he thinks the February shooting at the school that left three students dead has taken its toll on survivors. The district is now increasing efforts to spread awareness regarding the signs and symptoms of those who may be considering doing harm to themselves or others and need help.

BRIEFS

State Board of Education and the district must consult with teachers before adopting the policy. During the remainder of the meeting, the board voted to support Apollo Career Center in its pursuit of a $1-mil bond and tax levy at the Nov. 6 election for the purpose of improving, expanding and renovating the campus to take advantage of Ohio School Facilities funds and meet the needs of 21stcentury learning. Students of the month for October are as follows: Elida Elementary-Ariel Benton, Aidan Graham, Kylie Swallow; Elida Middle School-Whiteney Arseneau, Madison Coulter, Riley Creps, Samantha Finnerty; Elida High School-Clark Etzler, Alaina Jenkins, Megan McDonald. The board approved the resignation of Penny Welenken, bus driver, effective Dec. 31 for retirement purposes. The following personnel were approved for employment: Non-certified- Rebecca Hamilton and Tina Winget (substitute cooks) and Shane Sandlin (substitute custodian); Substitute TeachersMichael McLaughlin, Corey Moody, Angela Hesseling, Kellie Crist, Emily Kerber, Bridget Erdman, Mandy Henderson, Rachael Langhals, Michael Mays, Christine Miller, Melody Kearns, Brian Gephart, Kelsey Greeley, Sherry Kahle and Emily Brodman.

ing ammunition. In response, CBD and six other groups filed suit against EPA in June for refusing to address the problem. Opponents of CBD (such as the National Rifle Association/NRA) are on the offensive, supporting the Sportsmens Heritage Act of 2012 (HR 4089), a bill that aims to open up more fed-

eral land to hunting, limit the Presidents ability to invoke the Antiquities Act to designate new protected lands, and prevent the EPA from regulating ammunition containing lead, among other provisions. The bill recently passed a floor vote in the House of Representatives, but political analysts doubt it will make it through the Senate.

E - The Environmental Magazine Dear EarthTalk: Whats the big deal about lead in hunting ammunition and fishing tackle? If an animal is going to die anyway, its not going to get lead poisoning, right? Bill Joyce, Euclid, OH The issue of lead in hunting ammunition and fishing tackle isnt so much about lead contaminating the spoils of hunters and fishermen but about lead accumulating in our ecosystems and poisoning other animals that ingest it. Lead is an extremely toxic element that weve sensibly removed from water pipes, gasoline, paint and other sources dangerous to people, reports the nonprofit Center for Biological Diversity (CBD). Yet toxic lead is still entering the food chain through widespread use of lead hunting ammunition and fishing tackle, poisoning wildlife and even threatening human health. The group reports that at least 75 wild bird species in the United States including bald eagles, golden eagles, ravens and endangered California condors are routinely poisoned by spent lead ammunition. Meanwhile, every year thousands of cranes, ducks, swans, loons, geese and other waterfowl ingest spent lead shot or lead fishing sinkers lost in lakes and rivers often with deadly consequences. Animals that scavenge on carcasses shot and contaminated with lead bullet fragments, or wading birds that

ingest spent lead-shot pellets or lost fishing weights mistaking them for food or grit, can die a painful death from lead poisoning, while others suffer for years from its debilitating effects, reports CBD. Across the U.S. some 3,000 tons of lead are shot into the environment by hunters every year. Another 80,000 tons are released at shooting ranges, and 4,000 tons in fishing lures and sinkers are lost in ponds and streams. CBD estimates that as many as 20 million birds and mammals in the U.S. die every year as a result. Of course, lead ammunition also poses health risks to people, especially those consuming hunted meat. Lead bullets explode and fragment into minute particles in shot game and can spread throughout meat that humans eat, says CBD. Studies using radiographs show that numerous, imperceptible, dust-sized particles of lead can infect meat up to a foot and a half away from the bullet wound, causing a greater health risk to humans who consume lead-shot game than previously thought. CBD launched its Get the Lead Out campaign in March 2012 to raise awareness about the issue and help build support for a federally mandated transition to non-toxic bullets, shot and fishing gear. The coalition includes groups from 38 different states representing conservationists, birders, hunters, scientists, veterinarians, Native Americans and public employees. In April, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) denied the coalitions request to take toxic lead out of hunt-

According to the Center for Biological Diversity, lead is an extremely toxic element that is entering the food chain through widespread use of lead hunting ammunition and fishing tackle, poisoning wildlife and even threatening human health.

Man gets 4 years for Ohio church arson

MARYSVILLE (AP) A judge has sentenced a 31-yearold man to more than four years in prison for burning down a central Ohio church in January. The Columbus Dispatch reports that Stephen Beightler was sentenced Wednesday after pleading guilty to charges of arson, vandalism and breaking-and-entering related to his burning of the New Horizons Baptist Church in Marysville. Authorities say Beightler, who grew up in the area, stole a car from his roommate in Philadelphia on Jan. 10, drove to Marysville and drove through the doors of the church. Then he poured gasoline around the building, set it ablaze and watched from a nearby playground swing. The church was destroyed. No one has publicly offered a motive for the fire.

For Romney and Obama, one-liners are on the menu

By JIM KUHNHENN The Associated Press WASHINGTON The presidential campaign, which has been a spectacle of fingerpointing and recrimination, is oh so briefly taking a sharp detour so President Barack Obama and Mitt Romney can play politics for laughs. The rivals are quieting the hostilities Thursday evening to address the venerable Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foundation Dinner, a whitetie gala at New York Citys Waldorf Astoria Hotel that has been a required stop for politicians since the end of World War II. In keeping with tradition, both candidates have prepared lighthearted fare for the fundraising event organized by the Catholic Archdiocese of New York for the benefit of needy children. That was the case almost precisely four years ago when Obama and Republican presidential contender John McCain poked fun at themselves and each other just a day after an intense presidential debate at Hofstra University on Long Island. As in 2008, this years dinner comes in the wake of a fiery and confrontational presidential debate again at Hofstra lending an air of drama to the pivot from acrimony to humor. By JOHN SEEWER and JULIE CARR SMYTH The Associated Press Whats more, the dinners host is Cardinal Timothy M. Dolan, the spiritual leader of the Archdiocese of New York and president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, which has clashed with the Obama administration over contraception provisions in the new health care law. Dolan has said he received stacks of mail protesting the dinner invitation to Obama. But Dolan has sought to avoid playing political favorites, even delivering benedictions at both the Republican and Democratic national conventions this summer. The dinner is Romneys only public event Thursday. Obama was campaigning in New Hampshire, one of a handful of closely fought states in the election, before limbering up for his dinner speech with an appearance on Comedy Centrals The Daily Show. Romney and Obama were traveling to New York, a state firmly on the Obama side of the political ledger, two days after their Hofstra debate and one day after they and their running mates fanned out to battleground states to mount an aggressive appeal for undecided female voters. Obama campaigned in Iowa and Ohio on Wednesday, wearing a pink wristband

Not one to stay idle for long, Guthrie now works 20-30 hours parttime for Vanamatic. Guthrie was 20 years old when he began with the company in the Alex Teman building. 25 Years Ago 1987 Vanamatic Company of Delphos was presented the Ford Q1 Preferred Quality Award at a special luncheon held in Dearborn, Mich. Accepting the award were James Wiltsie Sr., and Perry Wiltsie of Vanamatic. The Q1 award, which has been earned by 3-4 percent of Fords suppliers, goes to manufacturing plants that have implemented an effective quality assurance program and received an excellent quality rating. Delphos Young Farmwives met recently at the home of Nora Gerdemann. Following a potluck supper, the members were guided on a tour through the poultry farm of Mr. and Mrs. Joel Gerdemann, who operate a 60,000 chicken laying operation. Dee Dee Shelby donated the raffle item which was won by Terri Miller.

There were 65 dogs entered in the eight heats. The final tree was won by Driver, a black and tan dog, owned by Walter Graham of Spencerville. The final line was won by Lead, a black and tan, owned by David Good of Delphos.

IT WAS NEWS THEN

Presidential candidates focus on Ohio college vote

CINCINNATI College campuses have become more than a backdrop for the presidential campaign in Ohio as both sides are vying to sway young voters to their side. President Barack Obama continued his campus tour of Ohio on Wednesday with an evening rally at Ohio University in southeastern Ohio. It was the fifth Ohio college the president has visited in less than a month. Not to be outdone, GOP vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan has made the rounds to the states universities. Ryan, a graduate of Miami University in Oxford, spoke Wednesday at Baldwin Wallace University near Cleveland, where he talked about the growing debt and lack of jobs for young people getting out of college. He blamed Obama for both. He gives us a growing debt and no solutions, Ryan said. Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney and Ryan recently visited several Ohio campuses. Last weekend, Romney had a rally at Shawnee State University, while Ryan tailgated with Bowling Green State University football fans and then spoke at Youngstown State. Ryan, a Wisconsin congressman, made his alma mater one of his first stops after being named as Romneys running mate, and he also visited with fans at the Miami-Ohio State football game in Columbus soon afterward. At Ohio University, Obama told the crowd he has two daughters and doesnt want them to be paid less for the same job as a man. Student Paris Aaron said he is voting for Obama because he wants to help give the president a chance to finish what he has started. I dont think starting all over again will help out the country at all, said Aaron, 19, of Columbus. Breanna Williams, from Jackson, Ohio, said she is supporting Obama. Williams, 20, says she believes he is really geared toward college students and that funding and affordability of higher education are among the top issues for her. Exit polling in 2008 indicated Obama won two-thirds of the vote among collegeage adults as he carried Ohio, a state expected to be close this year and possibly crucial to winning the White House. Underscoring the importance of Ohio and its college vote, Obama officially kicked off his re-election campaign in May at Ohio State University. In a return visit to OSU last week, Obama urged students to take buses provided for them at the rally to go to early voting locations, saying: Everything we fought for in 2008 is on the line in 2012. But the Romney campaign thinks it will make inroads with young voters this year, and a campaign official said it is well-organized on campuses across the state. We are making a huge push on the campuses, said Scott Jennings, Romneys state campaign director. This is a different environment for Obama than it was in 2008. The economy is sputtering along, and these college kids know they are about to graduate into a world that may not have a job for them. By DAN SEWELL The Associated Press

Ryan: Obama lacked new solutions during debate

COLUMBUS President Barack Obama failed to bring any new ideas that could revive the economy during the second presidential debate, Republican vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan said Wednesday. Ryan told supporters in the Cleveland area that running mate Mitt Romney followed up a strong first debate with another winning performance. The Wisconsin congressman said Obama is out of answers and it showed in Tuesday nights debate. This might be the best President Obama can give us, but its not what we should settle for, Ryan said. Later in Columbus, Ryan appeared at an event tailored to display his strength on fiscal issues. Eleven dinner companions at an Italian restaurant on the citys east side peppered him with questions on the federal debt, taxes and Obamas health care law. Do you have a whiteboard here? Ryan quipped with a smile when he was asked to explain how a Romney administration would tackle the deficit. He inquired when joining the table if diners had already said grace. When the answer was yes, he said hed say his own private prayer. Several dozen protesters organized by SEIU Local 1199 and ProgressOhio chanted, Four more years! and waved signs outside the event. They brought clean pots and pans and displayed signs that said, Soup Kitchen Photo Op - NO. While in northeast Ohio, Ryan mixed politics with football in Ohio two topics that are unavoidable this fall in the prized swing state by dropping in on practice at the Cleveland Browns facility with former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, a lifelong Browns fan. Both took turns talking with the team. Ryan told the players hes been impressed by the play of rookie quarterback Brandon Weeden, but it turns out he was pointing at backup quarterback Colt McCoy. That got a good laugh out of their teammates. Ryan recovered quickly, mentioning the teams victory over Cincinnati last Sunday. Ryan also shared his favorite hunting spots with Browns Pro Bowl tackle Joe Thomas, whos also a Wisconsin native. Ryan lamented that hes missing hunting season this fall. Ive got this election thing going on, he told Thomas. Earlier at Baldwin-Wallace University, Ryan said that Obamas campaign is now trying to scare voters because he cant run on his record. He

to show support for Breast Cancer Awareness Month and mocking Romneys remark during Tuesday nights debate that as Massachusetts governor he received whole binders full of women as he sought to diversify his administration. We dont have to collect a bunch of binders to find qualified, talented women, Obama said. At Ohio University, Obama beseeched a crowd of about 14,000 students to vote early. Youve got to go back to your dorm, grab that guy whos sitting there eating chips, watching SportsCenter, he said. Tell him hes got to vote, too. Romney made his own pitch to women, a play for votes that comes as he moderates some of the conservative stands he took while seeking the Republican nomination. This president has failed Americans women, he told a crowd in Chesapeake, Va. Theyve suffered in terms of getting jobs, he added, saying that 3.6 million more of them are in poverty now than when Obama took office. His campaign also launched a television commercial that seemed designed to soften his opposition to abortion while urging women to keep pocketbook issues uppermost in their minds when they cast their ballots.

Legal path to US from Cuba still complicated

By ALICIA A. CALDWELL The Associated Press WASHINGTON Cubas surprise decision to make it easier for citizens to leave the country doesnt mean Cubans can book tickets on commercial planes and head for Miami. Would-be immigrants and tourists still need permission from the U.S. government to enter America legally. With a multiyear wait for a visa, the average Cuban may not be leaving home any time soon. This may end up being ado about nothing, said a Cuban-immigration expert, Jose Azel of the University of Miamis Institute for Cuban and Cuban American Studies. A State Department spokeswoman, Victoria Nuland, said Tuesday that the U.S. welcomes any reforms thatll allow Cubans to depart from and return to their country freely. We remain committed to the migration accords under which our two countries support and promote safe, legal and orderly migration. Our own visa requirements remain unchanged. Under those 1994 accords, Washington agreed to stop allowing Cubans caught at sea to enter the U.S. In 1995 the U.S. government began its wet-foot, dry-foot policy that allows anyone who makes it to shore to stay, while those caught at sea are turned back. Since then, thousands of Cubans who made the treacherous trip across the Straits of Florida have been rewarded with entry into the United States. Unlike illegal immigrants from almost any other country, most Cubans not only can stay but also seek legal residency and eventually citizenship. The welcoming policy isnt just for Cubans who arrive by sea. In recent years, thousands of would-be immigrants have opted to hire smugglers to ferry them to Mexico, where they head over land to Texas. These dusty foot Cubans are allowed into the U.S. after medical screenings and background checks. Azel said the end of the Cuban exit visa program isnt likely to be a free for all exodus like the 1980 Mariel boatlift, which lasted six months and ended with about 125,000 immigrants, including criminals and mental patients, making it to Florida. Azel noted that nearly every Latin American country, including Mexico, requires an entry visa for Cubans. Cuban President Raul

gives us a growing debt and no solutions, Ryan said. The Romney-Ryan ticket says its economic plan would grow jobs in the energy industry and through small businesses, helping to create 12 million jobs. Obama spokeswoman Jessica Kershaw said Romneys plan would end up hurting the middle class and only benefit the wealthy through $5 trillion in tax cuts. Mitt Romney misled voters time and again last night and refused to explain his indefensible ideas when he was exposed on the emptiness of his own plans, she said. One dinner guest in Columbus asked Ryan if he could dispel the notion that he and Romney would raise taxes on the middle class. He said its a mistaken idea perpetuated by hundreds of millions of dollars in negative advertising. Ryan said he and Romney have records of cutting taxes and plan to continue to do so if elected. Rice also joined Ryan at the rally at Baldwin-Wallace University. She told the crowd that it has been a rough decade, starting with the terrorist attacks in 2001 and the economic collapse near the end of the decade. The last four years have been very tough on people who just want to work hard and make a living, Rice said.

Moderately confused

Castros decision was announced in the Communist newspaper Granma this week. In an accompanying editorial, the newspaper blamed the decades-old travel restrictions on U.S. attempts to topple the islands government, plant spies and recruit its best-educated citizens. The new rules, which will go into effect in January, still let the government deny travel for reasons of defense and national security. The reaction to Castros decision was mixed. People in Cuba and Miamis exile community wondered how significant the change will turn out to be. Dissident Cuban blogger Yoani Sanchez took to Twitter to share her concern that the Cuban government might start denying passports to control who leaves. I have the suitcase ready to travel. ... Lets see if I get a flight for Jan. 14, 2013, to try out the new law, tweeted Sanchez, who said she has been denied an exit visa 20 times over the past five years. Havana-born Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, a Florida Republican, called it nothing more than Raul Castros desperate attempts to fool the world into thinking that Cuba is changing.

Jays eliminated; Bulldogs advance to face Hornets

By JIM METCALFE jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com OTTOVILLE The first set in match 2 Wednesday night was one St. Johns would rather forget. Unfortunately, they could never quite recover as CoryRawson ousted the Lady Blue Jays 25-9, 25-23, 19-25, 25-19 in the Division IV volleyball sectional at Ottovilles L.W. Heckman Gymnasium. We didnt come out with any intensity; we were sluggish and just came out too slow, St. Johns coach Kellie Sterling began. In the opener, Columbus Grove ended the nightmarish Continental season (0-22) with a 51-minute 25-5, 25-8, 25-18 sweep. Sterlings analysis of the Jays (7-16) and their start was right on and the Lady Hornets took advantage. They showed great balance at the net, with sophomore setter Kendra Tuttle (35 assists) using several weapons at the net: Jessie Ream (12 kills, 4 assists, 9 digs), the 6-2 Nicole Hulihan (9 kills), Alexis Gauss (7 kills, 12 digs) and Tessa Heitmeyer (6 kills, 12 digs). They scored the first five points and never looked back, especially with the Blue Jays committing eight errors from their side of the net (35 for the match). They built up their lead until set point, when Hulihan hit a cut shot to the Jays side of the court for a 1-set edge. The Jays did recover in the second set, starting to turn things around by settling down. They led almost the entire way as senior Emily Horstman (8 kills, 11 digs), classmate Heather Vogt (6 kills, 5 stuffs) and sophomore Bekah Fischer (5 kills) started to get loose at the net and the Jays started to dig up kills better, with senior libero Katrina Etzkorn (31 digs) and senior Madison Zuber (9 digs) leading the effort. Still, they could not finish a struggle all season and it came back to get them. After taking a 23-21 edge on a serving error on the Hornets (4 for the night versus 10 aces), Ream put down a spike off the block to start the closing run for the Green and Gold: two hitting errors and a kill from the back row by Heitmeyer to complete the comeback and put the Hornets up 2-0. That was our major problem all season; wed play

Redskins knock out Lady Bearcats in VB

COLDWATER The Spencerville Bearcats and St. Henry Redskins faced off on Wednesday night at Coldwater High School in the first of two Division IV sectional volleyball tournament matches. The Redskins beat the Lady Bearcats 25-9, 25-7, 25-9 to advance on in the tournament. St. Henry came into the tournament match with an 18-3 record and Spencerville had a 5-17 record on the season. The Bearcats came into the match at the Palace as the away team whereas the Redskins were the home team on the scoreboard. The first set was a big sign of things to come in the next three sets as the Redskins got off to a 9-2 lead. St. Henry got kills from Kylie Koesters and Taylor Clune before a Bearcat timeout was called. After the break, Spencerville got a kill from Allison Gilroy and an ace from Abby Freewalt, followed by kills from Lady Redskins Sam Thobe and Ally Mikesell. Spencerville was forced to burn a second timeout with the score 16-5, St. Henry. After that, the Redskin got kills from Kenisa Post, Kami Siefring and Koesters to give them a 24-7 lead. The next two points were scored by kills from Freewalt and Shelby Mulholland before a Post kill gave St. Henry a first-set victory.

For The Delphos Herald

The second set started out a lot closer as Spencerville was down by one with a score of 5-4 after Mulholland kill. From this point on, the Redskins took over the set as Koester went off after a kill gave her the serve and scored 15 straight points, with six of them being aces. The Bearcats ended the run with a kill from Freewalt to make the score 19-5, St. Henry. After the timeout, Spencerville got a kill from Katie Merriman but an ace and kill from Mikesell gave the Redskins a 2-0 lead. The third set was more even to start as the Redskins jumped out to a 10-7 lead. The Bearcats got kills from Abbie Lee and an ace from Schylar Miller and the Redskins got kills from Koesters and an ace from Mikesell. After an ace from Madison Broering brought the score to 14-7, the Bearcats were forced to burn a timeout. Spencerville scored two quick points after the timeout but those were the final points they scored. The Redskins ran off 11 straight points, including an ace from Megan Heitkamp, a kill from Clune and block by two St. Henry players that gave them the sweep. I think that stopping their serving was a big trouble of ours tonight. St. Henry is a very good team with very strong servers and very good defense, Spencerville coach Kari Wicker said. Even when

we did hit some balls hard, they were still there picking something up and hitting it back at us. This is something they have been good at for a long time. I think we definitely put up a good fight because they run the fast offense we have seen all year. I dont think they expected us to do some of the stuff we did to them and get to some of their hits. With the win, the Redskins advance to play New Knoxville Saturday night at the Palace for the right to advance to districts. ---Lady Green dispatch Commodores in postseason ELIDA Ottovilles volleyballers began the second season on the right track Wednesday night with a 25-13, 25-18, 25-21 sweep of Perry in Division IV sectional action at Elida High School.

LOCAL ROUNDUP

dominant in the first set that the only points by the Lady Pirates came on Grove mistakes. Junior Emily Tabler (5 aces; 16 for the match as a team versus 10 missed serves) added three aces in the set and a hitting error on set point (21 for the match versus 13 for the Dogs) put set one in the Grove corner after only 12 minutes. Grove didnt have as great a start in the second set but the results were the same. They simply kept adding to their lead from start to finish as the Pirates as hard as they tried simply couldnt match the Grove level of play. A hitting error on set point put Grove in complete command at 2-0. Lepley felt comfortable enough to try different combinations in the third set, playing some junior varsity performers to get them tourney experience. Continental took advantage and held their first and only lead on the first point. Grove took the lead for good at 3-2 on a spike by Wynn and built it up to 11-5 on a mis-hit but the Pirates fought back. They got within one twice the final time at 14-13 on a hitting error but no closer. Steadily, the Bulldogs pulled away and sealed the deal on their 16th ace, this time by sophomore Sydney McCluer (5 kills, 19 digs). We missed some serves but I am not too concerned. I used some different players that arent used to varsity and Ill live with errors there, Lepley added. Youll have miscommunication and such when you hav e combinations that arent used to each other but I felt it was important to do so. Well focus in practice on those areas of concern the next two days and I expect well be ready Saturday. Junior Elizabeth Selhorst added five kills for the victors. We have played hard all year despite the circumstances. I credit the girls for that; they easily could have given up any time, including tonight, Streicher added. We made the third set close. Well see what we can get done in the off-season; we only lose two seniors Krystle Prowant and Casse Averesch and well keep trying to build. Topping the Lady Pirates were Prowant (9 kills) and juniors Cailah Rickard and Tia Escamilla (8 digs each).

So, the Cleveland JIM METCALFE Browns sale has been finalized for a billion bucks. That leaves Mike Holmgrem, the latest savior of the woebegotten franchise jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com since its return in the late 20th century, out in the cold. I understand the new owner Jimmy Haslam III, wants his own guy in there (Joe Banner apparently is) but does it really make sense to start over again? Was Holmgrem THAT bad? Does this mean that should the Browns end up with the first pick in the National Football League draft in April, Geno Smith will be the top pick? What would that mean for Brandon Weeden, the 29-yearold drafted this year to take over right away as the quarterback? Lets face it, he wasnt taken as a developmental guy! Of course, everyone is saying the right things but if youre a Cleveland Browns fan, whats going through your head? Here we go again? Or is it hope springs eternal? Either the guy is extremely brash/confident or dumb as a box of rocks or a little bit of both. I am referring to young second-year Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman talking trash to 3-time Super Bowl-winning (and future first-ballot Hall-ofFamer) quarterback Tom Brady all during the game with the New England Patriots Sunday at Quest Field, basically about how one guy couldnt beat 11. Mr. Cool may have lost his and responded to the youngster about who was going to win. Shermans Seahawks ended up winning the game and they did meet up after the game; no one really knows what words were exchanged but it probably doesnt take a great imagination to figure that out. OK, Mr. Sherman, you backed it up this time. My thing is this: when you win three Super Bowls and have the success Mr. Brady has had you are not Darrelle Revis, remember, and even Brady has had his share of success against that likely future Hall-of-Famer through his career, then you have the credence to talk trash, though by then, you probably wont feel the need to. At some point, most figure out to let their play do ALL the shouting. Im not saying you need to lionize him or allow him to roll through you like a hot knife through butter but at the same time, have some respect for your fellow competitors. Think if they ever meet again, Mr. Brady wont be a little more motivated to make sure Mr. Shermans mouth stays shut? The Internet is fun to search for interesting things to write about. Take a video on YouTube about the NFL Networks Ian Rapoport. Prior to Sundays Packers-Texans game, he was discussing matters when an errant football smacked him in the face. I can feel for that: when I cover soccer matches at the Annex and there is a small-kids match going on at the same time behind me, I have some paranoia about getting an orb in the back of my head and probably flattening the sphere! Mr. Rapoport handled it with humor. Thats a good reaction instead of some others that might have went berserko. I have seen other reporters have similar events happen to them especially soccer and its funny; when it happens to them! I was watching replays of when Derek Jeter broke his ankle Saturday night in game 1 of the ALCS and I cannot see where he really broke it. It must have been planting it just right when he took off or coming down on it just wrong during the play or both. He has played a tough and physically-demanding position shortstop for a zillion years now and it puts a lot of stress on those joints, especially at the age of 38. I am no Yankees fan but he is a great player. I have read some bloggers and for the most part outside of the one or two usual ... nincompoops most have expressed sadness and hopes for him to come back. If anyone can, he will. Ray Lewis is also in that boat after the future first-ballot Hall-of-Famer (talk about a guy who really turned his life from the dark side from when he was younger, though he remains a ferocious competitor, as you have to be to play in the NFL) tore a pectoral muscle Saturday. Hes 36 but has played a rough position (inside/middle linebacker) with Dick Butkus-like ferocity. However, you just know he will come back eager to show he is not done in the game he loves.

Motte goes 2, makes Cardinals wait worth it

By R.B. FALLSTROM The Associated Press ST. LOUIS Jason Motte had a lot more time than usual to get ready, learning the plan before the grounds crew took the tarp off the field. It was nice to get some advance notice before going for the first 2-inning save of his career under October pressure. The San Francisco Giants went six up and six down against the St. Louis Cardinals hard-throwing closer, thrust into an extended appearance by a rain delay that lasted longer than Game 3 of the NLCS. Motte needed just 19 pitches to complete a 3-1 victory that was worth the wait Wednesday night, putting the defending World Series champions up 2-1 in the series against the 2010 World Series titlists. Ive never had a situation where Ive known that far ahead of time, said Motte, who has saved both of St. Louis victories in the NLCS and has three saves in the postseason. You know, youre usually watching the game and you prepare yourself that way. I went to the bullpen a little early and got my arm loose and I was able to get the job done. Rookie Matt Carpenter hit a 2-run homer in his first at-bat of the NLCS after subbing for the injured Carlos Beltran and the Cardinals chased Matt Cain just before a 3 1/2-hour rain delay in the seventh inning. Beltran strained his left knee running out a doubleplay ball in the first inning and manager Mike Matheny announced he was day-today. Hes had issues with the knee throughout the season but played in 151 games and had 619 at-bats, his most since 2008. Cardinals pitchers made the lead stand up, beginning with Kyle Lohse, who worked around a season-worst five walks in 5 2/3 innings. The 16-game winner is 2-1 with a 1.96 ERA this postseason after escaping several jams and has allowed two or fewer runs in all three of his starts. Setup man Mitchell Boggs pitched earlier than usual, too, bailing out Edward Mujica. Boggs struck out Hunter Pence and Brandon Belt with two on to end the seventh as the storm approached. Motte made it a rewarding finish for what remained of a sellout crowd of 45,850 perhaps a third in a game that lasted 3 hours, 2 minutes. He was ready to go for Game 4, too. Giants second baseman Marco Scutaro had two hits and a clean game in the field, two days after Matt Holliday rammed into him breaking up a double play. Manager Bruce Bochy had said there would be no retaliation and Game 3 was collision- and controversy-free. He was determined to play and made a pretty good recovery, Bochy said of Scutaro. He played well, got some big hits. It says a lot about his makeup and how tough he is. Cain lost for the second time this postseason, giving up three runs on five hits in 6 1/3 innings. The Giants, who entered the game batting just .217 in the postseason, were 0-for-7 with runners in scoring position and stranded 11 runners. Pence, the Giants fifthplace hitter, also grounded into a double play with runners on first and third in the third and grounded into a force play with a man on to end the fifth. Except for a hanging slider to Carpenter, Cain was happy with his outing. Hes allowed three runs in all three postseason starts. The Cardinals snapped the Giants 5-game road winning streak in the postseason, three of them this year. Bochy waited until after Game 3 to announce Tim Lincecum as his starter for Game 4 against Adam Wainwright and also announced Barry Zito would start ahead of struggling lefty Madison Baumgardner in Game 5 against Lance Lynn. Lincecum has allowed one run in eight innings in three relief appearances in the postseason. Beltran is batting .400 in the postseason with three homers and six RBIs but Carpenter had big numbers against Cain. Before the homer in the third that put St. Louis up 2-1, he was 4-for-4 for his career against Cain, all four singles. This one was a much bigger deal, a drive that soared over the Cardinals bullpen in right field and was estimated at 421 feet. The 26-year-old Carpenter entered the game 1-for-5 in the postseason, all five pinchhit appearances, with an RBI single in the wild-card playoff against Atlanta. He got 14 of his 46 RBIs in April as the primary sub at first base for injured Lance Berkman. On Tuesday, Carpenter was among a group of seldom-used hitters trying to stay sharp by facing Jake Westbrook in a simulated game. The rest of the team had the day off. Umpires called for the tarpaulin right after the Cardinals made it 3-1 on a run-scoring single by Shane Robinson and Cain was lifted. It was the third game delayed by rain this postseason and a fourth, Game 4 of the Yankees-Tigers ALCS, was postponed later Wednesday night. Two games between the Yankees and Orioles in Baltimore began late because of inclement weather. The rain intensified less than 10 minutes after the field was covered, chasing most fans who had remained in their seats to that point. Spotters for the National Weather Service reported 60-mph winds in nearby St. Charles County. A highlight of the delay was a Pac-Man-style chase. Ushers pursued and finally apprehended a fan who jumped out of the stands to get a baseball near the warning track in left field and then jutted in and out of aisles to elude several ushers who had been closing in. The storm had been widely anticipated. Some forecasts called for a 70 percent chance of rain. Both managers fielded questions Tuesday and Wednesday about whether the probability of precipitation would affect their selection of the starting pitcher. The Giants entered 70-22 when scoring first, including the postseason, and took the lead in the third on Pablo Sandovals run-scoring groundout after leadoff hits by Angel Pagan and Scutaro, whose legs looked just fine on an opposite-field double flared just over first baseman Allen Craigs glove. Beltran leads all players with eight extra-base hits in the 2012 playoffs and is a career .375 hitter in the postseason, highest ever among players with a minimum of 100 at-bats.
NOTES: Danny Cox, who pitched for Cardinals World Series teams in 1985 and 1987, threw a perfect strike on the first pitch. ... Jay, who was hit by a pitch to start the game, was plunked

Athlete of the Week

Sister: Earnhardt could be back next weekend

The Associated Press CHARLOTTE, N.C. Dale Earnhardt Jr.s sister said Wednesday that NASCARs most popular driver could be back racing next week at Martinsville Speedway in Virginia. Earnhardt will miss his second consecutive race Sunday at Kansas because of two concussions suffered in a 6-week span. Kelley Earnhardt Miller wrote in a post Wednesday on JRNation.com that Earnhardt is on schedule to test a car early next week. If all goes well, she wrote he can race again Oct. 28 at Martinsville. If all goes according to plan and he continues to doctor orders but has been allowed to watch some television and play some video games as long as he doesnt stress his brain, she wrote. Earnhardt did not seek treatment for the first concussion, suffered in an Aug. 29 crash at a tire test at Kansas. He sought treatment following a 25-car crash in the Oct. 7 race at Talladega that left him with a lingering headache. The injury snapped his streak of 461 consecutive starts, which was the fifthlongest active streak in the Sprint Cup Series. His doctor said Earnhardt cannot be cleared to race until hes gone at least four days headachefree, then goes through various tests and spends some time behind the wheel. Earnhardt Miller was with Earnhardt on Tuesday when he went to Pittsburgh to see a specialist at the UPMC Sports Medicine Concussion Program. Afterward, his entourage toured the Pittsburgh Steelers facility and had lunch in the team cafeteria. Then they returned to North Carolina, where Earnhardt has daily therapies hes been assigned to do at home as part of his recovery, she wrote. Earnhardt Miller runs the day-to-day operations at JR Motorports, the Nationwide Series team that she owns with her brother, cousin Tony Eury Jr., and Rick Hendrick. She wrote in the post theyve been grateful for the fan support since Earnhardt announced his concussions last week. The outpouring of support has been great and, well, the criticism, you can learn from that as well, she wrote.
Rain shortens Kansas Speedway test

15 times in the regular season. ... Matheny had 122 lineups during the regular season but has stuck with the same eight throughout the postseason. ... The Cardinals win ended a streak of scoring at least six runs in the last eight postseason victories dating to Game 3 of the World Series last year, the longest streak of its kind in postseason history. St. Louis entered averaging 7.6 runs in 16 wins the last two postseasons and just 2.3 runs in the 10 losses. ... Carpenter and Pete Kozma are the first Cardinals rookie teammates to homer in the same postseason history. Game 4 postponed with A-Rod again out of lineup DETROIT The Yankees were ready to bench Alex Rodriguez again when Game 4 of the AL championship series was postponed by rain. Now, New Yorks top pitcher might face a limited role, making a playoff comeback that already seemed farfetched appear even more unlikely. Game 4 was called off Wednesday night and rescheduled for today, delaying Detroits attempt to win its second AL pennant in seven years. The Tigers lead the best-of-7 series 3-0 and were ready to send Max Scherzer to the mound against Yankees ace CC Sabathia. After the rainout, theres a chance Game 4 could be Sabathias only start of the series even if New York is able to rally. Under the original schedule, he could have pitched a potential Game 7 on three days rest. There was no announcement on when Game 5 would be played if necessary. Yankees General Manager Brian Cashman had plenty to talk about Wednesday even though not a single pitch was thrown. Manager Joe Girardi again left Rodriguez out of his starting lineup and the Yankees also announced that injured shortstop Derek Jeter would have surgery on his broken left ankle. The game which New York needed to win to avoid elimination almost felt like an afterthought. Perhaps it was fitting that it was called off because of rain in the Detroit area. Scherzer and the Tigers will have another chance today, when the teams try again to play Game 4. The first pitch Wednesday night was slated for 8:07 p.m. But shortly before the start, the crowd was informed of a delay. A radar forecast for the Detroit area was eventually posted on the scoreboard video screen, as if to explain to fans why there was no baseball despite what was still pleasant weather at the ballpark. The postponement was announced after a delay of about 70 minutes. A misty rain finally began about 15 minutes after the postponement was announced and steady rain followed shortly thereafter. Most the days drama centered on Rodriguez, who was dropped from the starting lineup again. The Yankees also were planning to bench slumping centerfielder Curtis Granderson if the game had been played. Rodriguez, only 3-for-23 in this postseason, had already been left out of the starting lineup twice and pulled for a pinch-hitter three times in the playoffs. The 37-year-old slugger with 647 career home runs didnt like his seat in the dugout. The firestorm may not end any time soon. He has $114 million and five years remaining on his contract and a no-trade clause. Cashman flatly denied that the team has had trade discussions concerning Rodriguez. Jeter, meanwhile, is set to have surgery this weekend after breaking his ankle Saturday in the opening game of this series. The Yankees say the star shortstop could need four to five months to completely recover, meaning Jeter likely would be ready to return sometime between the start of spring training in mid-February and late in spring training in mid-March. Cashman called that a conservative estimate and left open the possibility that Jeter could come back sooner. Jeter had scans Sunday, which confirmed the fracture, and he saw Dr. Robert Anderson in Charlotte, N.C., on Tuesday.

Subbing for injured starting tailback Zavier Buzard, Jeffersons Drew Kortokrax, a 5-11, 180-pound senior, carried the ball 15 times for 159 yards and 2 scores, as well as adding a 65-yard punt return for another TD, in the Wildcats 47-10 dispatching on non-league foe Perry Friday night.

KANSAS CITY, Kan. Jeff Gordon has enjoyed a good deal of success at Kansas Speedway. On Wednesday, he found himself back on equal footing with his fellow Sprint Cup competitors as they worked to get acquainted with the tracks new surface. Theres not too many people that like a repave, other than the ones who win the race at the end of the day, Gordon said after the first full testing session since the resurfacing. Its just one of the necessary evils of our sport. We understand that tracks have to be repaved eventually. It doesnt last forever. Some drivers got their first experience on the new surface during tire tests in late August. For others, it was their first time to drive it just days before the weekend Nationwide and Sprint Cup race. The tracks a lot different right now than it was for the tire test, Chase driver Matt Kenseth said. They did a nice job. Its getting pretty smooth. It seems like its getting faster. Rain delayed the start of testing for more than 2 1/2 hours, shortening the planned 4-hour session to 2 hours. Still, the drivers got enough track time to see just how much things have changed. This track went from being pretty abrasive and wearing the tires out to now its just smooth and super-fast and the times dont fall off, added Gordon, who won the first two Cup races at the track and has eight top-5 finishes and two top-10s in 13 starts. Its only going to get faster. The 1.5-mile tri-oval, which opened in 2001, was torn up, repaved and reconfigured after the spring Cup race. The track now features variable banking of up to 20 degrees. I noticed the transitions out of pit road onto the racetrack are pretty steep here, said Trevor Bayne, who did not come to Kansas in August and was one of four drivers to test the 2013 car Wednesday. Itll definitely force us to blend on the straightaway later in the race. But other than that, the tracks pretty awesome. I think its going to be fun to race on. Once the weather cleared and the track dried, the test drives passed without major incident unlike the tire testing session Aug. 29, when Dale Earnhardt Jr. hit the wall and sustained a concussion that went undiagnosed until he sustained another two weekends ago at Talladega. Earnhardt missed last weeks race at Charlotte and also will sit out Sunday, with Regan Smith replacing him in the No. 88 Chevrolet.

World Food Prize activities attract Occupy protest

By DAVID PITT The Associated Press DES MOINES, Iowa Its difficult to argue with the goals of the World Food Prize Foundation to recognize people who have helped improve the quality and availability of food to reduce world hunger. But as the Des Moinesbased foundation prepares for its 2012 award ceremony, which will be attended by dignitaries including SecretaryGeneral of the United Nations Ban Ki-moon, dozens of protesters hope to disrupt the activities. Members of Occupy Des Moines plan civil disobedience efforts and expect to be arrested as they obstruct participants at the World Food Prize headquarters today and at the Iowa Capitol on Thursday before the $250,000 prize is awarded to this years recipient. Organizer Frank Cordaro said he expects about 30 people to turn out today, with 10 willing to be arrested. The group opposes what it sees as a focus on corporate agriculture motivated more by profit than food safety or protection of natural resources. The prize is corporate agricultures way of branding themselves in the minds of the American people as the good guys, the people who are feeding the hungry and the best last chance the human race has to meet our basic needs, said Cordaro, 61, a former Roman Catholic priest whos been jailed numerous times for acts of civil disobedience to social issues. The truth is the prize is owned and scripted for corporate agriculture and large corporate entities who want to make a profit first and dont really care about the planet. The protesters say the foundation also supports organizations that promote and sell crops that include genetically modified organisms, known as GMOs. While many scientists say genetic modification has been useful in developing crops resistant to pests, drought and disease, opponents worry it could result in harm to the environment or people. World Food Prize Foundation President Kenneth Quinn, a retired career diplomat and Foreign Service officer for the U.S. Government, said hes dealt with a variety of protests in his career, but hes puzzled that people would object to an organization founded by a man who won a Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts to fight hunger. Norman Borlaug was honored in 1970 for work that boosted agricultural production in what has become known as the Green Revolution. Im greatly disappointed that people would feel that his organization and his prize that he created, his goal of ending hunger in the world would somehow be worthy of disruption and civil disobedience, Quinn said. The prize created in 1986 has grown in stature in recent years, with hundreds of scholars and agribusiness leaders gathering for several days in Des Moines for speeches and seminars. Last year, the private, nonprofit foundation moved to the former Des Moines Public Library after a $30 million renovation paid in part with donations from companies including DuPont and Cargill. Speakers from Monsanto Co., Bayer CropScience, and Syngenta have been invited to participate in events this week. DuPont Pioneer spokeswoman Jane Slusark said the company respects protesters right to voice their o pinions, but to fight hunger, its going to take all of us working together, even if we do not always agree. Spokesmen for Monsanto and Syngenta also defended their companies efforts to develop technologies that boost crop production. Syngenta spokesman Paul Minehart said scientists have

turned to genetic modification and other biotechnologies to boost food production as the worlds population increases. We dont have more land and we dont have more water that can be used efficiently and effectively for agriculture, so how are you going to be able to feed this growing population with limited resources? Minehart asked. Were trying to make sure we are providing farmers what they need to be able to get the most yield and have the most productive crops that they can. Noting that Dr. Borlaug believed in science, Quinn said a panel discussion on biotechnology was planned this week because food production may depend on it as climate change brings more cycles of drought and flooding. Ironically, while the protesters and some panels will focus on biotechnology and other facets of agribusiness, the winner of this years prize is being celebrated for low-tech work. Israeli scientist Daniel Hillel, 81, helped develop drip irrigation methods that conserve water while allowing food to be grown in some of the worlds driest climates. The system Hillel developed, called micro-irrigation, carries water through narrow plastic pipes to plants, where it trickles continuously onto the roots. Over decades, it has dramatically improved farm production and helped thousands of Jewish and Muslim farmers. Like some of those protesting the prize, Hillel has been concerned with preserving natural resources. We need to learn how to manage land so that it will not degrade and do it efficiently. At the same time, we must maintain natural ecosystems without encroaching upon them without excessive deforestation and destruction of biodiversity, he told The Associated Press in a June interview when he was announced as this years winner.

Average debt up again for new college grads

By JUSTIN POPE The Associated Press Its the latest snapshot of the growing burden of student debt and its another discouraging one: Two-thirds of the national college class of 2011 finished school with loan debt, and those who borrowed walked off the graduation stage owing on average $26,600 up about 5 percent from the class before. The latest figures are calculated in a report out today by the California-based Institute for College Access and Success (TICAS) and likely underestimate the problem in some ways because they dont include most graduates of for-profit colleges, who typically borrow more than their counterparts elsewhere. Still, while 2011 college graduates faced an unemployment rate of 8.8 percent in 2011, even those with debt remained generally better off than those without a degree. The report emphasized research showing that the economic returns on college degrees remain, in general, strong. It noted the unemployment rate for those with only a high school credential last year was 19.1 percent. In these tough times, a college degree is still your best bet for getting a job and decent pay, said TICAS President Lauren Asher. But, as debt levels rise, fear of loans can prevent students from getting the education they need to succeed. Students and parents need to know that, even at similar looking schools, debt levels can be wildly different. And, if they do need to borrow to get through school, federal student loans, with options like income-based repayment, are the safest way to go. The latest figures come at a time of increasing alarm about the sheer scope of student debt nationally, which by some measures has surpassed $1 trillion. Recent government figures show nearly 10 percent of borrowers of federal student loans in the most recently measured cohort had already defaulted within two years of starting repayment. The issue has come up on the presidential campaign trail, though the candidates specific plans havent become a major issue. President Barack Obama has touted his record of ending $60 billion in subsidies to private lenders, directing the savings to student aid and implementing an income-based repayment plan that caps federal student loan payments at 15 percent of income and forgives repayment after 25 years. Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, his Republican challenger, argues the flood of federal student aid spending unleashed in recent years has led colleges to raise tuition prices. He wants to return to a system in which the government supports private lenders, arguing its more cost-effective, and his campaign has called the income-based repayment program flawed. In Tuesday nights second presidential debate, Romney repeated an assertion hed made previously that 50 percent of kids coming out of college (are) not able to get work. That is not accurate, though twice earlier in the debate he made an important qualifica-

As Greece heads toward Bible verse banner suit worlds oldest profession is giving a said Yiannis Batziolas, the clubs youth- a sixth year of recession, drastic budAUSTIN, Texas (AP) A group of teenage cheerleaders is expecting to hear today from a Texas district judge whether they will be allowed to continue displaying Bible verses at high school football games. The cheerleaders at Kountze High School sued district officials when they told them to stop using scripture such as, If God is for us, who can be against us? on banners displayed at football games. The district banned the use of religious messages after the Freedom From Religion Foundation complained that the messages violated the First Amendment prohibition on government establishing a religion. State District Judge Steve Thomas issued an injunction allowing the cheerleaders to continue using Bible verses until he made a decision. He set a hearing for today, when he was expected to rule on the cheerleaders case. Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott filed court papers to intervene in the lawsuit, calling the districts prohibition an unconstitutional infringement on the cheerleaders rights to free speech. The Texas Education Code also states that schools must respect the rights of students to express their religious beliefs. The Freedom From Religion Foundation, which is dedicated to the separation of church and state, also intervened saying in the context of a football game it was unclear who was responsible for the messages, the school or the cheerleaders. The speech in question is government speech or, at a minimum, school-sponsored speech, the group said in court papers. If the majority of the cheerleaders were atheists, would a court support their right to hold up a banner insulting Christianity or all believers? The district has every right to simply prohibit all run-through and on-field banners. Gov. Rick Perry also has spoken out in favor of the cheerleaders. Anyone who is expressing their faith should be celebrated, from my perspective, in this day and age of instant gratification, this me-first culture that we see all too often, Perry said Wednesday.

Unfortunately, amateur football has ful chairman, who runs a travel agency and is the teams backup goalkeeper. Its a question of survival. Prostitution is legal in Greece, where brothels operate under strict guidelines. Though garish neon signs advertising their services are tolerated, the soccer sponsorship has ruffled some feathers in the sports-mad city of Larissa. League organizers have banned the pink jerseys during games, saying the deal violates the sporting ideal and is inappropriate for underage fans. Batziolas acknowledges the sponsorship took his team by surprise. They didnt believe it in the beginning, he said. But when they saw the shirts printed, they thought it was funny.

Figures analyzed by Northeastern Universitys Center for Labor Market studies last spring did find 53.6 percent of bachelors degree holders under age 25 were either unemployed or working in positions that dont fully use their skills or knowledge. The latest TICAS report also cites studies that found more than one-third of recent graduates were in positions that did not require a degree, depressing wages, though other government figures cited by Georgetown Universitys Center on Education and the Workforce put the so-called underemployment rate for young college grads much lower at around 10 percent. As for those who have no job at all, according to Georgetown the latest monthly unemployment figure for college graduates under age 24 is 10.5 percent (the figure typically jumps each spring as a new class graduates and declines over the course of the year; last March it was 5.4 percent).

Mexico seeks exhumation Jennings (Continued from page 1) of drug lords parents $1,000 from Bob and Diane
MEXICO CITY (AP) Authorities are seeking permits to exhume the remains of drug lord Heriberto Lazcanos parents to obtain material for DNA testing to convince the public beyond doubt that he is dead, Mexicos top anti-drug prosecutor said Wednesday. Lazcanos body was stolen by a team of armed, masked men from a funeral home in northern Coahuila state on Oct. 8, hours after he was killed by Mexican marines, according to officials. Mexicos navy says Lazcanos body was identified through fingerprints before the corpse was taken. Local prosecutors have said they did not know the body was Lazcanos until after it was stolen. Prosecutor Jose Cuitlahuac Salinas said Lazcanos parents died years ago and are buried in central Hidalgo state. Unfortunately, both parents died many years ago, and that complicates things, Salinas said. He did not say what sample from Lazcanos body would be used for comparison, but an autopsy was performed before the body was taken and officials apparently saved blood or bloody clothing. Lazcano was one of the most-wanted drug traffickers in Mexico and the U.S. for years. He was a former member of the Mexican army special forces who went on to lead a band of assassins he originally called The Company and later the Zetas, named for the radio code given to high-ranking officers.

get cuts have hammered many ordinary people: Retirees have been left to cover their own medical expenses, children have lost school bus services, and sports teams have scrambled to find sponsors as businesses close under the burden of emergency taxes. Brothel owner Soula Alevridou, the teams new benefactor, has already paid more than 1,000 euros ($1,312) for players to wear her jerseys. The team is appealing the game ban, but that doesnt worry the 67-year-old Alevridou, who says shes only in it because she loves soccer. Its not the kind of business that needs promotion, she said, dressed all in white and flanked by two young women in dark leggings at a recent game. Its a word-of-mouth kind of thing.

Although there are many variables, the main problem seems to be the patient/payee disconnect, which has been addressed through payer initiatives promoting outcome-based payment rewards and wellnessbased rewards, which hold care organizations accountable. Another huge step forward is bridging the gap between multistate health information exchanges and ensuring the portability of electronic patient medical information, Armstrong explained. Renner focused on healthcare delivery. Nationally, the federal government spends up to 40 percent and employers chip in upwards of 30 percent on medical benefits. Rising costs are associated with higher levels of these diseases, which are cancer, stroke, heart disease and diabetes. The delivery model is not sustainable and patients must be accountable and live healthier lifestyles, he emphasized.

Boy Scouts perversion files set to be released

Healthcare (Continued from page 1)

Pakistan held, freed militant before girls attack

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) Confidential files kept by the Boy Scouts of America on men they suspected of child sex abuse are set to be released after a two-year-long court battle. The anticipated release of the files on Thursday by Portland attorney Kelly Clark will reveal 20,000 pages of documents the Scouts kept on men inside and in some cases outside the organization believed to have committed acts of abuse. The court-ordered release of the so-called perversion files from 1965 to 1985 has prompted the organization to pledge that they will go back into the files and report any offenders who may have not been reported to the police when alleged abuse took place. That could prompt a new round of criminal prosecutions for offenders who have so far escaped justice. The Scouts have, until now, argued they did all they could to prevent sex abuse within their ranks by spending a century tracking pedophiles and using those records to keep known sex offenders out of their organization. The Scouts began keeping the files shortly after their creation in 1910, when pedophilia was largely a crime dealt with privately. The organization argues that the files helped them track offenders and protect children. But some of the files released in 1991, detailing cases from 1971 to 1991, showed repeated instances of Scouts leaders failing to disclose sex abuse to authorities, even when they had a confession. A lawsuit culminated in April 2010 with the jury ruling the BSA had failed to protect the plaintiff from a pedophile assistant Scoutmaster in the 1980s, even though that man had previously admitted molesting Scouts. The jury awarded $20 million to the plaintiff. Files kept before 1971 remained secret, until a judge ruled and the Oregon Supreme Court agreed that they should be released.

Turkish pianist on trial for insulting Islam

KHAR, Pakistan (AP) One of the two Taliban militants suspected of attacking a teenage girl activist was detained by the Pakistani military in 2009 but subsequently released, intelligence officials said today. Malala Yousufzai, 14, was shot and critically wounded on Oct. 9 as she headed home from school in the northwest Swat Valley. The Taliban said they targeted Malala, a fierce advocate for girls education, because she promoted Western thinking and was critical of the militant group. The military detained Attaullah during the armys 2009 offensive in Swat because of suspected ties with the Pakistani Taliban, which had established effective control over the valley at the time, said two intelligence officials. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk to the media. The military successfully pushed most of the militants out of Swat, but Attaullah was released because of a lack of evidence linking him to specific attacks, said the officials. Its unclear how long he was held. The shooting of Malala outraged people around the world and stepped up pressure on the Pakistani government to intensify its fight against the Taliban and their allies. Malala was airlifted to England earlier this week for specialized treatment and to protect her from follow-on attacks by the Taliban, who have threatened to target her again until she is killed.

Rebels blow up oil and Syrian gas pipelines

ISTANBUL (AP) A top Turkish pianist and composer appeared in court today to defend himself against charges of offending Muslims and insulting Islam in comments he made on Twitter. Fazil Say, who has played with the New York Philharmonic, the Berlin Symphony Orchestra and others, is on trial for sending tweets that included one in April that joked about a call to prayer that lasted only 22 seconds. Say tweeted: Why such haste? Have you got a mistress waiting or a raki on the table? Raki is a traditional alcoholic drink made with aniseed. Islam forbids alcohol and many Islamists consider the remarks unacceptable. Prosecutors in June charged Say with inciting hatred and public enmity, and with insulting religious values. He faces a maximum 18 months prison term, although any sentence is likely to be suspended. Say, who has served as a cultural ambassador for the European Union, rejected the charges and demanded his acquittal, according to the state-run Anadolu Agency. The trial was adjourned until Feb. 18 and the musician was granted the right not to appear at subsequent court hearings due to his concert schedules. The prosecution has caused anger among intellectuals in Turkey and escalated concerns over freedom of expression in the country. Hundreds of his fans, supporters and human rights activists went to the courthouse in Istanbul in a show of solidarity, holding up signs that read: Fazil Say is not alone and Free Art, Free World. Say, 42, is a strong critic of the Islamic-rooted government of Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, a devout Muslim who has preached conservative values, alarming some secular Turks who fear the government plans to make religion part of their lifestyle.

BEIRUT (AP) Syrias state news agency says rebels have blown up two oil and gas pipelines in the northeast near the Iraqi border. The agency, SANA, says the attack hit one oil and one gas pipeline today near the city of Deir al-Zour. The pipelines ran between Deir al-Zour and the city of Palmyra in central Syria. Anti-regime activists posted a video online purporting to show the blast site, with thick smoke billowing into the sky. The video could not be independently verified. SANA quoted an oil ministry official saying the lines were immediately shut off, the fires were extinguished and repairs would begin soon. Rebels seeking to overthrow President Bashar Assad have repeatedly bombed such pipelines. Activists say more than 33,000 people have been killed in 19 months of violence.
