$1.4T in states pension fights foreshadowed

BY DAVID KLEPPER The Associated Press PROVIDENCE, R.I. Retired social worker Jim Gillis was told his $36,000 Rhode Island state pension would increase by $1,100 next year to keep up with inflation. But lawmakers suspended annual increases, leaving Gillis wondering how hell pay medical bills and whether hed been betrayed by his former employer. When youre working, youre told youll get certain things, and you retire believing that to be the case, Gillis said. He and other retirees are challenging the pension changes in a court battle thats likely to have national implications as other states follow Rhode Islands lead. Cities and states around the country are shoring up battered retirement plans by reducing promised benefits to public workers and retirees. All told, states need $1.4 trillion to fulfill their pension obligations. Its a yawning chasm that threatens to wreck government budgets and prompt tax hikes or deep cuts to education and other programs. The political and legal fights challenge the clout of public-sector unions and test the venerable idea that while state jobs pay less than private-sector employment, they come with the guarantee of early retirement and generous benefits. The actions taken by states vary. California limited its annual pension payouts, while Kentucky raised retirement ages and suspended pension increases. Illinois reduced benefits for new employees and cut back on automatic pension increases. New Jersey last year increased employee retirement contributions and suspended pension increases. Nowhere have the changes been as sweeping as in Rhode Island, where public sector unions are suing to block an overhaul passed last year. The law raised retirement ages, suspended pension increases for years and created a new benefit plan that combines traditional pensions with something like a 401(k) account. This saved $4 billion for the people of Rhode Island over 20 years, said state Treasurer Gina Raimondo, a Democrat who crafted the overhaul. Rhode Island is leading the way. I expect others to follow, frankly because they have to. Public employee unions say Rhode Island is reneging on promises to workers. What they did was illegal, said Bob Walsh, executive director of the National Education Association Rhode Island. Were deep into a real assault on labor. It worries me that people who purport themselves as Democrats do this. The court case foreshadows likely battles elsewhere as states grapple with their own pension problems. In the past two years, 10 states suspended or cut retiree pension increases; 13 states now offer hybrid retirement plants that combine pensions with 401(k)-like plans. Forty-three states from 2009 to 2011 did something, but in many cases something was not enough, said David Draine, a researcher who tracks pension changes at the Pew Center on the States. States are discovering the political challenge of reining in pensions is only one step in a battle ultimately won or lost in the courts. A plan to enroll new Louisiana state workers in a

Jerry Brown last month approved higher retirement ages and contribution rates for some state workers and a $132,000 cap on annual pension payouts. The states two main pension funds the California Public Employees Retirement System and the California State Teachers Retirement System are underfunded by $165 billion. Brown said the changes may lead to bigger pension reforms in the future. Unions are ready for a fight.

Freeze, drought take bite out of fall tourism

By RICK CALLAHAN The Associated Press INDIANAPOLIS Devastating spring freezes and a historic drought have stripped some charm from rustic fall destinations, leaving some corn too short to create mazes, orchards virtually devoid of apples and fall colors muted. Extreme weather has forced agritourism ventures in the heart of the country to scramble to hold onto their share of an industry that generates hundreds of millions of dollars each year. Pat Schaefers, who runs Schaefers Corn Maze near Lollie, Ark., hopes visitors to the farms two mazes wont mind that the corn is just 6 to 8 feet this fall up to 4 feet shorter than the wall of corn families and school groups normally pay to get lost and turned-around in. Its just not up to par, she said of the corn in her two mazes. Its not anything like its been in past years. Yet Schaefers was one of the lucky ones. Even though the corn in her 30 acres of mazes is shorter than normal, she was able to open them for a seventh year thanks to a

summerlong irrigation effort at the 1,000-acre farm she owns with her husband, Bob. Sam Brown, who owns A-Maizeing-Farms in Mayfield, Ky., said the summer drought and 100-degree days ruined his farms 20-acre corn maze, leaving stalks knee- to waist-high far too short for use as a maze. Instead, hes offering a petting zoo, pedal cart races and hay rides. The object of our maze is to find hidden checkpoints, and our checkpoints literally would have been taller than the corn in some of the fields, he said. It would have pretty much been pointless. For many farms and orchards, autumn is the peak agritourism season as families seek out a taste of rural life with outings to explore corn mazes, take hay rides and pick their own apples or pumpkins. Tourism generated about $566 million for more than 23,000 U.S. farms in 2007, according to the U.S. Department of Agricultures most recent agriculture census a survey conducted every five years.

Pensions

For The Record

in their pensions than in their final years of work. Before Rhode Islands reforms passed in November, its pension costs were set to jump from $319 million in 2011 to $765 million in 2015 and $1.3 billion in 2028. The states annual budget is $7 billion. Passing the changes wasnt easy. Public employees rallied at the Statehouse and jeered lawmakers during floor debate. Firefighters lined the walls of committee hearings. Rep. Donna Walsh called the vote the most heart-wrenching, gut-wrenching vote shed cast in 12 years as a lawmaker. One of the biggest changes involved putting off pension increases for five years, and then only if pension investments perform well. North Providence retiree Jamie Reilly left her job as a secretary at age 50, thinking her 30 years of state employment would mean good benefits during her later years. But now she said she may be forced to re-enter the workforce at age 55 because the state has put off pension increases. I counted on that money, Reilly said of the increases, which she estimates would have started at $700 to $1,000 a year. I retired knowing I was going to get a certain amount of money. You work all your life and you plan, and they take it away from you. Cranston firefighter Dean Brockway said higher retirement ages mean he will have to work several years longer than he expected, and he wonders how hell climb stairs in heavy gear in his 60s. Brockway, who has nearly 30 years on the job, said reducing benefits could make it harder to recruit public safety employees. Could I do something else? I dont know, he said. A lot of us chose to dedicate our lives to public service because to us its an honor. Could I be a carpenter? I dont think so. This is what I do.

agritourism can be stung by the weather. Apple orchards across the Midwest and New England suffered huge losses when blossoms lured into early bloom by a warm March were killed in April freezes. Indiana apple growers have had one of their worst crops in eight decades. Many orchards canceled their U-pick apple seasons and shipped in apples from out of state or traded varieties with other orchards to meet customers demand. Tuttle Orchards, a central Indiana farm with 30 acres of trees, lost all but about 10 percent of its apple crop in April. Mike Roney, who co-owns the orchard near Greenfield, Ind., said it might have been the worst freeze damage ever at the farm his family has

owned for 84 years. At Crane Orchards, a 120acre top U-pick tourist destination in Fenville, Mich., co-owner Rob Crane said just 5 percent of his apple crop survived the icy nights on his familys fifth-generation farm a few miles from Lake Michigan. With so few apples, its normal 60-day U-pick season shrank to a couple of weeks, and the last trees were picked clean before October. Despite the lack of apples, Crane is hoping people still come to the farm for a hay ride along its lake and rolling hills, to navigate its corn maze or indulge in fruit pies and other homemade treats served at its restaurant. The fall is about making memories, family gatherings and outings to see the colors. Its that inner clock thats ticking that wants you to do

that before winter, Crane said. Were hoping people still come and do that. The colors wont be so bright in some places. Felicia Fairchild, executive director of the Saugatuck/Douglas Convention and Visitors Bureau in southwestern Michigan, said some droughtstressed trees in her area dropped their leaves early. But despite a less brilliant landscape and lack of apples, she expected bustling fall business in an area often called the Art Coast of Michigan because of Saugatuck and Douglas art galleries, shopping and bed and breakfast inns along Lake Michigan. I dont think its going affect our business at all, but it always adds to it if theres really beautiful foliage, Fairchild said.

homeless activists. Philadelphia banned feedings in public parks in June but the ordinance was put on hold the following month after homeless groups sued the city. And theres a new curfew for pets that help their owners beg on the Las Vegas Strip. Matyja, in Costa Mesa, has gotten multiple tickets for smoking in the park where he camps out since the law took effect earlier this year. When I was in the military, Im golden. When I was working, I was golden. When Im not working and Im out here, Im a piece of garbage as far as these people are concerned, said Matyja, 50, as he walked past a row of neatly manicured lawns on a sweltering day. They figure if they dont see you, then the problem dont exist and then they can say, We dont have a homeless problem. The Newport Beach Public Library, nestled in a coastal city better known for its surfing and miles of wide beaches, recently updated a policy that says staff can evict someone for having poor hygiene or a strong aroma. The policy also bans lounging on library furniture and creates strict limits about parking shopping carts, bikes and other wheeled conveyances outside the premises. Library Services Director Cynthia Cowell insists the policy isnt aimed at the homeless, but the action has nonetheless stirred anger among homeless advocates. They become very clever about it and try to blanket it because they say strong aroma could be perfume also, but in the end its an attempt to keep people out of where the neighborhood and community folks feel uncomfortable, said Scott Mather, director of Haven, a program for Orange Countys chronically homeless. Some cities have seen a legal backlash as homeless advocacy groups sue. Last week, the homeless in Sacramento got checks ranging from $400 to $750 apiece to settle a class-action lawsuit brought after police destroyed property seized during cleanup operations. In a similar case, a federal appeals court ruled last month that the city of Los Angeles cannot seize property left temporarily unattended on sidewalks by homeless residents. For cities struggling with large homeless populations, the solution involves walking a tightrope between complaints from the voting public and the possibility of a lawsuit.

Report: Debt agencies wrongly ruin credit reports

COLUMBUS (AP) Debt collectors have ruined the credit reputations of thousands of people over debts they never owed or already paid according to consumer complaints filed with federal and state agencies, an Ohio newspaper reported Sunday. Some debt collectors have forced consumers into paying debts that are erroneous or fraudulent, The Columbus Dispatch reported as part of an ongoing investigation into the nations credit-reporting system and the lack of federal regulation over it. The newspaper looked at more than 22,500 complaints filed with the Federal Trade Commission since January 2009. They were filed by people who said they had a problem one of the nations three largest credit-reporting agencies: Equifax, Experian and TransUnion. About 6 percent said their complaint involved a debt in collection, the newspaper said. Nearly 10 percent of the complaints 11,400 since 2009 made with the Ohio Attorney Generals office over debt collectors involved a collection account reported to a credit bureau. Government regulators, watchdogs and consumer advocates have called for changes to the federal law that governs debt collection and allows debt collected almost unregulated access to credit reports. They dont abide by any rules, said Richard Rubin, a consumer-law attorney in New Mexico and an expert on the federal law. Their job is to squeeze money out of people, and their business model is to go as close to the edge as they can. And they do it with the complicity of the credit bureaus. The FTC and the Government Accountability Office want Congress to create more safeguards, including requiring debt collectors to have proof of all debts. When debt-collection companies take over delinquent debts, the original creditor gives them consumers names, contact information and how much they owe. Sometimes the information is wrong, but debt collectors still report consumers to the credit bureaus, the newspaper said. Debt collectors maintain that such instances are rare and the fault of the original creditors. We are completely reliable on the validity of the information we are provided, said Mark Schiffman, spokesman for the industry trade group, ACA International, based in Minneapolis. Weve advocated that creditors hold onto original information longer. The debt-collection industry says less than 0.002 percent of the 4 million consumers it contacts each year file formal complaints, according to the industry. Our members take a great deal of time talking to consumers. They are serving as counselors, Schiffman said. The Consumer Data Industry Association, which represents the three big national credit-reporting agencies, said a 2011 study funded by the industry found that their information is more than 99 percent accurate. The statements being made about collection items in a credit report dont ring

Ohio Senate faceoff proves to be nasty, expensive

By JULIE CARR SMYTH The Associated Press COLUMBUS Job experience has surfaced as the defining issue of the hotly contested, super-expensive fight for Ohios Senate seat this fall. Incumbent Democratic Sherrod Brown faces Republican Josh Mandel in the race, which is one of the highest-profile contests in the country. Browns liberal voting record and surprise victory six years ago over incumbent Mike DeWine in a closely divided battleground state make him a prime target for Republicans seeking to gain Senate seats. In a fight infused with outside money, Brown has painted Mandel as ignoring his job as state treasurer in a continual quest for higher office. Mandel says Brown has been on his job too long and Washington needs new blood. The spat has played out in millions of dollars of television ads across the state. The Wesleyan Media Project found that $6 million was spent on more than 10,000 ads in the state Sept. 9-30 alone. Mandels youth and background made him a prime contender to take on a popular incumbent. Besides being a U.S. Marine veteran who served two tours in Iraq, hes proven a gifted fundraiser. Married into the well-heeled Ratner family of Cleveland, Mandel has raised $8.4 million to Browns $10.5 million, according to the most recent federal election filings. But more than half the money being spent on the race is coming from outside groups. Wesleyan found more than 53 percent of the September spending came from non-campaign entities. On behalf of Mandel, theyve included the GPS Crossroads organization affiliated with former Bush strategist Karl Rove and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. On

Trio of justices run for Ohio Supreme Court seats

COLUMBUS (AP) Two Ohio Supreme Court veterans and one newcomer who is also the courts lone Democrat are up for election in November. The races for the most part have been quiet affairs, far from the vicious campaigns of a decade ago when business interests sought to change the political makeup of the court. Republicans now control the court 6-1. The court rules on issues that affect many aspects of daily life in Ohio, such as the way criminal laws are enforced, schools are funded, damages from lawsuits awarded and custody issues worked out. In one race, Justice Terrence ODonnell of Cleveland, a Republican who joined the court in 2003, faces suburban Cleveland Democrat and state Sen. Mike Skindell. In a second, Justice Robert Cupp of Lima, a Republican first elected to the court in 2006, faces Democrat William ONeill, a retired appeals court judge who now works as a registered nurse in Cleveland. Justice Yvette Magee Brown of Columbus, a Democrat appointed in 2010 to fill a vacancy left when Maureen OConnor became chief justice, faces Republican Sharon Kennedy, a Butler County domestic relations judge. The winner of the BrownKennedy race would need to run again in two years for a full six-year term. The only substantive issue in this years race comes from criticism ONeill has made of ODonnell and Cupp over the potential influence of campaign contributions on their decisions. He has questioned a combined $44,000 in contributions tied to Akron-based FirstEnergy this year that both have received during a time the utility had cases pending at the court. Its impossible to avoid the appearance of impropriety when you accept money from a litigant and then rule on their case, ONeill said at a can-

true, said Norm Magnuson, the groups vice president of public affairs. FTC officials told Congress two years ago that the number of complaints against debt collectors may be understated. Complaints about debt collectors to the agency have increased 73 percent since 2008.

COLUMBUS (AP) A proposal on whether to lease the Ohio Turnpike or get more money out of the toll road some other way is coming soon, Gov. John Kasich said. The governor said last week that hes looking at options that could bring the state more than $1 billion, and a formal proposal could be announced within the next month. The Columbus Dispatch reported that its believed that the governors administration is studying whether to lease the turnpike over a period of years or issuing bonds against it. The bottom line is there may be some real money lying out there if we do this thing the right way, Kasich said on Friday. Hes been pushing the idea of using the turnpike that crosses northern Ohio to bring several billion dollars to the state for new road and bridge projects.

behalf of Brown, the National Education Association and other unions are putting money into the race. At a September rally with AK Steel workers and other unions, Brown ripped the blitz of negative campaign ads aimed at him. You cant turn on your TV without seeing these nasty ads, he said. The ads take on someone well-known to Ohio voters. Brown began his political career in 1974 as the youngest state representative in Ohio history, and went on to serve as secretary of state and congressman. Brown has campaigned alongside President Barack Obama, touting their shared support for the federal health care overhaul and the bailout of the auto industry so pivotal to the manufacturing states economy. Married to Pulitzer Prizewinning journalist Connie Schultz, Brown had opened up a lead of 7 to 10 points in polls taken before the first presidential debate.

ODonnell said ONeill failed to mention that a threejudge panel rejected a grievance ONeill filed over the issue. Cupp defended the need for contributions, while noting that justices themselves are banned from directly seeking campaign contributions. Instead, a separate campaign committee solicits donations. Ive not found any TV or radio outlets or newspapers in this state who are willing to run advertisements for candidates without charging them, Cupp said at the forum.

Presidential race rumbles into final four weeks

By BEN FELLER and STEVE PEOPLES The Associated Press LOS ANGELES Rumbling into its final four weeks, the presidential campaign is playing out on both coasts and multiple fronts, with Republican Mitt Romney seeking stature on foreign affairs and President Barack Obama raising political cash by the millions. Negative ads, charges of dishonesty and dwindling time are all setting the tone. Joining celebrities for fundraising in Los Angeles on Sunday, Obama for the first time needled himself over a poor debate performance. But he declared he had the right focus and I intend to win. Romney was in Virginia, trying to bury the memories of his fumbled trip abroad this summer and knock Obama back on national security. Hope is not a strategy, he said in excerpts of a Monday speech at the Virginia Military Institute. The campaigns already had eyes on the next debate, the sole faceoff between Vice President Joe Biden and Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan, which will grab attention as the Thursday night showdown nears. The election hangs as ever on persuadable voters in fewer than 10 states, with Iowa, Ohio, Virginia and Florida all set for candidate visits this week. In an election-year display of incumbents power, Obama on Monday was declaring a national monument at the home of Latino labor leader Cesar Chavez, the United Farmworkers Union founder who died in 1993. Sure to appeal Hispanic voters in swing states, Obamas move comes at the start of a day in which he will later raise political cash at events in San Francisco. Romney was after the bigger stage of the day. His foreign policy speech seeks to send tough signals on Iran and Syria and portray Obama as weak for his administrations changing explanation for the deadly attacks on the U.S. consulate in Libya. Were not going to be lectured by someone who has been an unmitigated disaster on foreign policy, Obama campaign spokeswoman Jen Psaki said. Voters give Obama higher marks than Romney on questions of national security and

Northeast Region Humanitarian Award for the districts 2011 Cancer Walk during the OSBA Northeast Region Fall Conference Thursday. The sixth annual walk was held on May 6 and to date, the event has raised more than $25,000. 25 Years Ago 1987 Delphos mealsite at Delphos Senior Citizen Center, 301 E. Suthoff St., is celebrating its fifth anniversary Wednesday. A special program is planned for the event. Preschool children from Jeannes School of Dance will perform under the direction of Jeanne Randall and the Senior Citizen Hum-A-Tunes will entertain with several songs, followed by a sing-a-long. The Fort Jennings Lions Club held its fourth annual sweepstakes banquet and drawing at Fort Jennings Elementary School. Top winner of the $1,500 cash or a trip for two to Las Vegas was won by Harry Howbert from Fort Jennings. Second-place winner of $400 went to Donnie Albrittain from Lima, and third-place winner of $200 was Don Good of Fort Jennings. Tom Liebrecht of Fort Jennings was the winner of the 50-50 drawing. Twenty-three members of the Delphos Chapter of Office Education Association will attend the annual Fall Leadership Conference Wednesday at Bluffton College to support the campaign of local junior president Kelly Dunlap, who is running for president of Region 16. Kelly qualified to run for president through a screening process held in mid-September at the Wright State Branch Campus in Celina. 50 Years Ago 1962 Oliver Lundgren, of the local Kaufman Studio, will speak to the Certified Professional Photographers Society of Columbus Monday night. Lundgren will demonstrate the advantages of interchangeable lenses using his own equipment. He will show pictures on photomacography engineering, commercial, advertising, portrait and public relations photographs both in color and black and white. A go-go-go Blue Jay football squad is primed to take on the Norwalk St. Paul team Friday night fresh from a resounding 28-14 win over the Commodores of Perry. It was the first half which was St. Johns for the scoring was accomplished during this period. Piloted by Dan Thithoff, the Blue Jays performed remarkably well defensively with Ron Baumgarte, John Rupert, Dennis Lause, Jim Etzkorn, Tom Noonan and Ed Haehn combining to hold off the Perry Commodore threat in the second half. Bill Stafford played a grat game, but the Giants always will regret the big double play they didnt make. Stafford, 24-year-old flame thrower from Athens, N.Y., showed lots of talent in his four-hit, 3-2 victory over the Giants in Sundays third game of the World Series that put the Yankees out front in the Series, two games to one. 75 Years Ago 1937 The Giants again found it impossible to withstand the onslaught of the big guns of the Yankees in the second game of the World Series and again went down to defeat by a score of 8 to 1, the same count as in the first encounter Wednesday. Red Ruffing was on the firing line for the American League contingent and turned in as good a battle as did Lefty Gomez in the opening game. A softball tournament is in progress at St. Johns School under the direction of Jake Schulte, coach and head of the physical education program for boys. The Sophs have defeated the Freshmen and the Juniors won over the Seniors. The eighth graders also won a game from the seventh grade students. Marguerite Moenter, east of this city, entertained the members of the Entre Nouz Club and two guests, Mrs. Paul Moenter and Juanita Corbin, at her home Wednesday evening. Margaret Kurber held high score in pinochle, Mrs. Paul Moenter, second, and Mary Louise Kurber, low.

IT WAS NEWS THEN

Romney: US should be more assertive on world stage

By KASIE HUNT The Associated Press WASHINGTON Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney is proposing the U.S. take a more assertive role in Syria, put conditions on aid to Egypt and tighten sanctions on Iran as he looks to use a planned foreign policy address to paint President Barack Obama as a weak leader who has limited Americas influence on global affairs. Declaring that its time to change course in the Middle East and accusing Obama of passivity, Romney plans to call Monday for the U.S. to work with other countries to arm rebels in Syria with weapons that can defeat the tanks, helicopters and fighter jets that make up President Bashar Assads army. Romney also plans to call for tougher sanctions on Iran than those already in place, and plans to say he will condition aid to Egypt on continued support for its peace treaty with neighboring Israel. He will emphasize his commitment to a two-state solution for peace between Israelis and Palestinians, a process he dismissed during a secretly videotaped fundraiser in May. Romney plans to make the comments at a major foreign policy speech at Virginia Military Institute. His campaign released excerpts of his prepared speech in advance. Aides previewing the speech in a conference call with reporters emphasized that the Republican, who took a hawkish tone throughout the GOP primary, would outline a mainstream foreign policy vision. Hope is not a strategy. We cannot support our friends and defeat our enemies in the Middle East when our words are not backed up by deeds, Romney plans to say in the address, adding that the U.S. should use its influence wisely, with solemnity and without false pride, but also firmly and actively. Romneys attempt to outline his approach as commander in chief comes amid turmoil in the Middle East and North Africa. Iran is believed to be pursuing a nuclear weapon, Syria is locked in a civil war, peace talks between Israel and the Palestinians are moribund, and anti-American protests have erupted in several countries. Attackers linked to al-Qaida killed four Americans in Benghazi, Libya, last month, including U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens. The Republican has given several foreign policy speeches throughout the campaign, including one in Reno, Nev., ahead of a weeklong trip abroad in the summer. That trip was fraught, with Romney offending his British hosts by questioning their security preparations for the Olympic Games and raising hackles among Palestinians who charged him with racism after he said culture was part of the reason Israelis were more economically successful than the neighboring Palestinians.

CBO tallies 2012 deficit at $1.1T

By ANDREW TAYLOR The Associated Press WASHINGTON A new estimate puts the deficit for the just-completed 2012 budget year at $1.1 trillion, the fourth straight year of trillion dollar deficits on President Barack Obamas watch. The result was a slight, $207 billion improvement from the 2011 deficit of $1.3 trillion. The bleak figures from the Congressional Budget Office, while expected, add fodder for the heated presidential campaign, in which Obamas handling of the economy and the budget is a main topic. Fridays release came as the government announced that the unemployment rate dropped to 7.8 percent last month, matching the rate when Obama took office. President Obama once promised to cut the deficit in half by the end of his first term, but ... hes broken that promise, and has presided over his fourth straight trillion-dollar budget deficit, said GOP vice presidential nominee Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis. The Presidents reckless spending habits have burdened the American people with another $5.4 trillion in debt while failing to bring a real recovery for the 23 million Americans struggling for work or the 15 percent of Americans living in poverty. The 2012 deficit was 7 percent of the size of the economy, an unsustainably high level. The figure is lower than the first three years of Obamas presidency, but higher than any other year since 1947. The administration will release the official deficit numbers around mid-October, but they should line up closely with the CBO estimate, which showed that the government borrowed 31 cents for every dollar it spent. The CBO estimate predicts a modest 3 percent increase over 2011 in both income tax and payroll tax receipts, reflecting the sluggish economic recovery. Corporate income tax receipts are way up almost 34 percent but most of that is a result of tax rules governing write-offs of business equipment. Spending fell across a broad array of categories, the CBO said, but not Social Security and Medicare. Social Security payments rose by 6 percent, while Medicare grew by 3 percent, slightly less than in prior years. Lower war costs meant a 3 percent decline in defense outlays, however, and the cost of unemployment benefits dropped 24 percent because fewer people have been receiving benefits recently.

crisis response, and world affairs in general are a distant priority compared with economic woes, polling shows. Romney, though, is seeking to broaden his explanation about how he would serve as commander in chief. After polls recently suggested Obama had narrow leads in several swing states, the Romney campaign says the race is tightening following his strong performance in last weeks debate. To help maintain his momentum, Romney has tweaked his message over the last week, highlighting his compassionate side and centrist political positions. Beyond his speech, Romney has a Virginia rally scheduled for Monday, then events in Iowa and Ohio later in the week. Obama displayed a little self-deprecation Sunday night to account for his own showing in last Wednesdays debate. Taking to the Nokia Theatre stage after some musical stars performed, Obama said the entertainers seemed to have flawless nights all the time. I cant always say the same, he said. Everyone in the crowd of thousands seemed to get the joke.

Officials reject conspiracies on unemployment rate

WASHINGTON (AP) When conspiracists suggested Friday that the Obama administration had engineered a sharp drop in unemployment to aid President Barack Obamas re-election, the response was swift. Career government officials, economists and even some Mitt Romney supporters issued a collective sigh. The staffers who compute the U.S. unemployment rate work in an agency of the Labor Department. Officials who have overseen the work say its prepared under tight security with no White House input or supervision. To think that these numbers could be manipulated. ... Its impossible to do it and get away with it, said Keith Hall, a former commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the agency that calculates the unemployment rate. These numbers are very trustworthy, said Hall, who was appointed by President George W. Bush and whose four-year term ended in January. The figures that produce the unemployment rate are crunched by several dozen people at the bureau. The only BLS employee appointed by the White House is the commissioner, who operates independently of the White House. The job is now vacant but is being handled by Acting Commissioner John Galvin, who has worked at the BLS for 34 years. Yet conspiracy theorists came out in force Friday after the government reported a sudden drop in unemployment a month before Election Day to 7.8 percent for September from 8.1 percent in August. Their message: The Obama administration would do anything to ensure a November victory, including manipulating unemployment data. Labor Department officials, joined by Democrats and some Republicans, called the charges implausible. That didnt stop the chatter. The allegations were a measure of how politicized the monthly unemployment report has become near the end of a campaign thats focused on the economy and jobs. The conspiracy erupted after former General Electric CEO Jack Welch, a Republican, tweeted his skepticism five minutes after the BLS announced the unemployment rate at 8:30 a.m. Eastern time. Unbelievable jobs numbers..these Chicago guys will do anything..cant debate so change numbers, Welch tweeted, referring to the site

Medicaid costs dropped as well, because the federal government stopped paying a higher share of the programs costs. Obama inherited an economy in recession and a deficit in excess of $1 trillion. He promised to cut the deficit in half by the end of his first term, but deficits have instead remained at eye-popping levels, including a record $1.4 trillion deficit in 2009 and deficits of $1.3 trillion in each of the past two years. In Wednesday nights debate, Obama said he has a budget plan to shave $4 trillion from the deficit over the coming decade, but he counts $1 trillion from savings already accomplished in budget deals with Republicans last year and $848 billion from winding down wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney promises to balance the budget within eight to 10 years, but hasnt illustrated how he would do so. His budget claims are suspect as well since he promises to cut the overall budget by about $500 billion in 2016 alone, while also promising to sharply boost military spending and restore more than $700 billion in Democratic cuts to Medicare over the coming decade. Romney has ruled out increasing taxes.

Moderately confused

of the Obama campaign headquarters. The drop in unemployment was announced two days after Obamas lackluster performance in his first debate with Romney. Republican Rep. Allen West of Florida soon announced via Facebook that he agreed with Welch. Somehow by manipulation of data we are all of a sudden below 8 percent unemployment, a month from the presidential election, West wrote. This is Orwellian to say the least. The Obama administration was forced to defend Labors statisticians and economists against accusations that came without supporting evidence. No serious person ... would make claims like that, said Alan Krueger, chairman of the White House Council of Economic Advisers. The monthly jobs report is prepared with raw data collected by Census workers. The workers interview Americans in about 60,000 households or visit them door-to-door. People are asked whether theyre employed and, if so, whether their jobs are full or part time. The Census workers gather other information about the respondents education, age and gender and ask whether theyre self-employed.

Grove volleyballers shoot down Rockets

By Dave Boninsegna The Delphos Herald zsportslive@yahoo.com COLUMBUS GROVE After an exciting Friday night of football for the Columbus Grove Bulldogs and the Pandora-Gilboa Rockets, the volleyball squads for each school took to the court at Columbus Grove High School to battle it out in Putnam County League action Saturday morning. The Bulldogs took the match 25-12, 25-15, 23-25, 25-22. Julia Wynn had 17 kills for Grove, while Sydney McCluer added 13 kills and 19 digs; Rachel Schumacher accounted for 49 assists. The teams battled evenly early in the contest but after taking advantage of a Pandora-Gilboa hitting error, the Bulldogs took a 6-5 lead and never relinquished it. Grove went on an 11-2 run to take a 17-7 advantage in that stretch: Schumacher delivered two aces and Faith Huff had a pair of kills. Sammi Stechschulte sealed the set with a spike to the Rockets side of the court, giving the home team a 1-0 lead. Set two had the same flavor of the first, with the teams battling evenly until the Bulldogs broke a 9-9 tie on a hitting error by P-G. The home team took 12 of the next 13 points with Wynn and Emily Tabler providing the kills. Huff delivered a shot to the open court of the Rockets side, giving Grove a 20-10 lead. Megan Maag provided a pair of scores for the Rockets late in the set but a serve into the net gave the Bulldogs the 10-point set win and put them one set away from a sweep of their PCL foe.

Big Green boys notch 10th win of season

By BOB WEBER The Delphos Herald btzweber@bright.net OTTOVILLE Saturday afternoon, the Ada Bulldogs boys soccer team traveled to the Ottoville Sports Complex to take on the Big Green in a non-league matchup. The Big Green controlled the match from start to finish in a 5-1 win over the Bulldogs. The Big Green, coming off of an emotional Putnam County League win over Kalida Friday night, was able to guard against a letdown and score four first-half goals. Big Green head coach Eric Gerker knew this day would be a test: We really wanted to stress that there could be no drop-off from last nights game against the Wildcats. We came out the first half and really possessed the ball well and were able to get an early lead. Ottoville scored its first goal at the 30:47 mark from an excellent throw-in by senior Bryan Hohlbein that found fellow senior Dylan Klima, who headed the ball into the back of the net. At the 20:02 mark, host senior Logan Gable, from 30 yards out, sent a sharp line drive shot that eluded Bulldog junior goalie Tate Anspach for the second goal of the afternoon. The Big Greens leading scorer on the season, senior Anthony Eickholt, got his teams third goal at the 11:57 mark. Freshman Drew Williams rounded out the scoring in the half with a goal at the 2:56 mark, sending the Big Green to a 4-0 lead into halftime. During the second half, Gerker emptied his bench, giving his starters a muchdeserved rest after two matches in the last 24 hours. Nine seniors played their last home match of the year for the Big Green. Klima got his second goal of the match at the 19:58 mark, stretching the lead to 5-0 The Bulldogs, who were outshot 9-5 for the game, got their lone goal with 2:15 to go after a Big Green foul awarded the Bulldogs a penalty kick. Junior Caleb Garmon beat the Big Green goalie to score the lone goal for his team in the 5-1 loss. As the regular season comes to an end next week, the tournament draw was

of the third; Maag and Mackenzie Swary provided a kill and ace, respectively, for the guests. Grove got its first point on a Rockets hitting miscue but an Oliva Maag kill got momentum headed back in the Rockets direction. The Bulldogs got back to within one at 7-6 but Hunter Hermiller smacked a shot to the home team side of the court. Grove tied the contest at 9-9 and the squads battled back and forth from there. The set was tied on 10 occasions later in the set; with the set tied at 21-21, Hermiller put the Rockets up 23-21. However, the Bulldogs were intent on ending the day early, tying the contest at 23-23 on a Wynn kill. The guests rallied for the last two points on back-to-back kills by Megan Maag, sending the match to a fourth set. The Rockets took control of the fourth set early; after a Vivian Nofzinger ace, the guests led 5-2. PandoraGilboa led by 11-5 after Olivia Maag served up an ace but the Bulldogs began to make a move. Huff served up consecutive aces, cutting the deficit to 16-15. Grove tied the set at 19-19 on a McCluer kill; the Grove sophomore continued her dominance with three kills in a row to put the Bulldogs up 21-19. The home team would not give up the lead the rest of the way as Wynn ended the contest on a tapper to the Rockets side of the court. The Bulldogs moved to 14-5 overall and 4-1 in the PCL; Pandora-Gilboa drops to 12-6 in all games and 3-2 in league play. Huff had three blocks and Kelli Vorst three aces.

Jefferson whips Spartans on pitch FORT JENNINGS The Jefferson Lady Wildcats won their soccer match against the Lima Senior Spartans 3-1 on Saturday at Keith Hamel Memorial Field in Ft. Jennings. The Lady Cats started the match well when sophomore forward Kylee Haehn booted the ball into the back of the net off a timely assist by freshman forward Logan Hamilton. The Lady Cats scored another goal when senior defender Jenna Moreo launched the ball into the air off a direct kick from about 25 yards away from the goal. The ball soared into the frame just out of the reach of the Spartan goalie for Moreos second goal of the season. Although the Lady Cats only gave up one goal, the Spartan offense had many opportunities to put the ball in the net. They just couldnt take advantage of those opportunities. Jefferson scored again when a miscommunication between Spartan defenders allowed Haehn to tap the ball loose from two Spartans. The ball trickled over the goal line slowly but out of the goalies reach. The Ladycats didnt play a perfect game by any measure, as head coach Josiah Stober put it: We still need to work on the fundamentals: looking up, making good passes on offense and being in the right spots on defense. The Lady Cats will play their last home match today (5 p.m.) against Cory-Rawson. ---T-Birds shut out Bearcats LIMA Four different Lima Central Catholic players scored a goal and Kyle Smith pitched a shutout as the Thunderbirds downed Spencerville 4-0 in boys soccer action at home.

notched tallies for LCC (8-51). Smith stopped all six Bearcat shots on-goal, while Byron Gay grabbed three saves (11 shots).

Not only did the LadyCats (13-0-1) keep the Tigers off the scoreboard but they also did not allow a shot on-goal, while launching 20 themselves. Summer Holtkamp had two tallies and Justine Verhoff, Lindsey Erhart and Courtney Buss one each. Holtkamp had an assist. Mahala Haughn had 14 saves for the Tigers.

SATURDAY ROUNDUP

TERRE HAUTE, Ind. The Beavers won an insane Heartland Conference matchup at Rose-Hulman Institue of Technology on Saturday. After three straight missed field goals at the end of regulation and in the first two overtimes, junior Austin Sweeney (Adrian Mich./ Whitmer) quickly turned into the hero when he made the game-winning 21-yard field goal in the third extra session. The win moved Blufftons record to 4-2 (3-1 HCAC), while the loss dropped RoseHulman to 2-4 (2-2 HCAC). It marked the first-ever 3-overtime game for the Beavers. The Beavers began the game on fire with two quick scores. The first was a 1-yard touchdown run by Airic Steagall (Hillsboro); the second an 11-yard touchdown pass from Tyler Wright

(Troy) to Ryan Sabin (Canal Winchester). The two scores gave the Beavers a 14-0 lead midway through the first quarter. Rose-Hulman responded in the second quarter with consecutive 15-play drives. However, these drives both ended in field goals by Craig Larew as the Bluffton defense refused to break. On the Engineers third drive of the second quarter, Greg Lee got free in the red zone for a 12-yard touchdown run, cutting the Beaver lead to a single point. The visitors responded before they went to the locker room when Steagall hooked up with Shawn Frost (Edison/ Mt. Gilead) for a 15-yard touchdown pass to give Bluffton a 21-13 lead after two periods. The beginning of the third quarter was dominated by Bluffton. Calib Alexander (Ocala,Fla./St. John Lutheran) broke free for a 41-yard touchdown run. After a Sweeney 22-yard field goal, the Beavers were out to a comfortable 31-13 lead with four minutes to go in the quarter. Rose-Hulman was not ready to cash in its chips, however. A 64-yard touchdown pass from Mitch Snyder to Jacob Dye cut the Beaver lead to 31-19. Then, on the first play of the fourth quarter, Snyder threw a 31-yard touchdown to Marcus Washington, trimming the Beaver lead to single digits at 31-26. After Sweeney made a 24-yard field goal for the Beavers, Rose-Hulman began another big drive which was capped by a Danya Francis 1-yard scoring plunge. Shane Boschert hauled in the 2-point conversion to knot the game at 34. Bluffton put together a 14-play, 64-yard drive while moving the chains five times. However, Sweeneys 37-yard field goal went wide right and with that miss, the game was sent into overtime.

Both teams traded 3-andouts, followed by missed field goals during the first two overtime periods. During the third overtime, Rose-Hulman converted a first down but Larew missed the 20-yard field goal, his third straight following regulation. During Blufftons drive in the third overtime, Steagall picked up 10 yards for a first down on the first play. Three runs later and he had the Beavers on the 4. From there, Austin Sweeney capped the victory by making a 21-yard field goal to get the Beavers their third conference win. Tyler Wright was the leader in this game for the Beavers, completing 16 of his 22 passes for 245 yards and a touchdown. He also rushed for 52 yards. Steagall also had a monster day with 25 rushes for 127 yards and a touchdown. Ryan Sabin was the leading receiver for the Beavers with six receptions for 109 yards and a touchdown. For the Engineers, Snyder also had a big day at quarterback, completing 30 of his 50 attempts for 342 yards and two touchdowns, while also rushing for 49 yards. Running back Danya Francis picked up big yardage, rushing 28 times for 117 yards and a touchdown. Jacob Dye had a solid day with seven catches for 127 yards and a touchdown. The offenses combined for over 1,000 yards on the afternoon with Bluffton going for 498 of them and 25 first downs. The Beavers had a 238-230 edge on the ground, while RHIT finished with a 342-260 advantage through the air. On the defensive side of the ball, senior Ben Kaufman (Ottawa/Ottawa-Glandorf) led the way with 16 tackles, including 10 solos. Junior Josh Runda (Lima/Bath) chipped in with 11 tackles, two of them for losses. Bluffton will be back in action Saturday for their See ROUNDUP, page 7A

Arroyo gem puts Reds up 2-0 on Giants in NLDS

By JANIE McCAULEY The Associated Press SAN FRANCISCO Dusty Baker walked down the hallway in his former ballpark to cheers from Giants fans. He smiled, waved hello, offered handshakes, highfives and hugs even a few hang loose signs. Baker is still beloved in the Bay Area 10 years after managing the Giants within six outs of a World Series title before falling short. That didnt change even after his Cincinnati Reds routed San Francisco 9-0 on Sunday night for a commanding 2-0 lead in their NL division series. This time, its the Reds riding some serious postseason momentum. Two years ago, the Giants made an improbable run to the citys first World Series championship and Cincinnati got swept out of the first round by the Phillies. Youre not comfortable at all until its over, Baker said. Weve been there before. Its hard to take the last breath out of anything. Game 3 in the best-of-5 series is Tuesday at Great American Ball Park. Homer Bailey (13-10), who pitched a no-hitter Sept. 28 at Pittsburgh, takes the mound as the Reds try to close out the series against Giants right-hander Ryan Vogelsong (14-9). The Reds headed home to Ohio on quite a roll, thanks to a bunch of memorable firsts. Bronson Arroyo won his first game in seven tries at San Francisco. Ryan Ludwick hit his first postseason home run, while Ryan Hanigan had his first playoff RBI. More than anything on this night, it was Arroyos turn to celebrate on what he figured to be a fun flight back to Cincinnati. We couldnt put ourselves in a better situation, he said. It doesnt mean youre going to close it out but for us personally, I know the fans are going to be as jacked as they have ever been in that ballpark since it has been built, which is going to be nice. Arroyo retired his first 14 batters and delivered a gem a day after 19-game winner Johnny Cueto went down with a back injury. A pair of Ryans provided the big hits. Ludwick connected leading off the second inning and Hanigan hit a 2-run single in the fourth and a later RBI single. Jay Bruce added a 2-run double and Joey Votto had three hits in his first multi-hit postseason game. Many fans didnt stick around until the end to see the Giants get handed their worst playoff shutout in franchise history. The Reds got their first playoff victory in 17 years by taking Game 1 without their ace Saturday night and now theyre going back home looking for their own sweep after the Phillies eliminated them in a frustrating 3-game first round two years ago. The shaggy-haired Arroyo, the right-hander with that high leg kick slightly resembling the familiar motion of Giants Hall-of-Famer Juan Marichal, went untouched before Brandon Belts 2-out single to the gap in rightcenter with two out in the fifth. San Francisco didnt get another hit until Pablo Sandoval lined a double off the right-field arcade with two outs in the ninth. You hate to get beat like that, especially at home, Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. It happened. We know where were at right now. We know our backs are to the wall. We have to come out and be ready to play once we get to Cincinnati. I know they know whats at stake. Theyve done a great job all year bouncing back. The 35-year-old Arroyo worked ahead and had four straight strikeouts during one stretch to baffle the Giants. His seven innings marked his longest postseason outing in five starts and 13 appearances. Cueto threw all of eight pitches in Saturdays 5-2 win before leaving with back spasms and Mat Latos and a patchwork pitching staff handled the rest. Arroyo thoroughly outpitched Madison Bumgarner to beat the Giants for the first time since 2008. He had gone 0-2 with a 2.42 ERA in four starts since, getting two nodecisions this season. Cincinnati beat San Franciscos two best pitchers on the Giants home field. Matt Cain lost Game 1. Bumgarner had pitched a 1-hitter June 28 against the Reds at home but was nothing close to that dominant this time. Baker has felt good about these Reds all along, even more so after recently missing 11 games while recovering from a mini-stroke, including when they clinched the NL Central. He is getting contributions from throughout his lineup and a ready-for-anything pitching staff. The Reds added on late in Game 2 against the Giants typically reliable bullpen with Bruces eighth-inning double, a run-scoring triple from Drew Stubbs and an RBI single by Phillips.
Nationals rally past Cardinals in Game 1 ST. LOUIS Given zero wriggle room, Nationals reliever Ryan Mattheus had realistic expectations. Entering with the bases loaded, nobody out and the cleanup man coming to the plate in the seventh inning, it was all about not letting the game get out of hand. He needed just two pitches to diffuse the crisis and keep it close for a deciding rally in Washingtons 3-2 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals in a division series opener on Sunday. Allen Craig, who batted an NL-leading .400 with runners in scoring position, grounded into a force at the plate and Yadier Molina bounced into an easy double play. Rookie pinch-hitter Tyler Moores big moment came just a few min-

utes later. Moore, who had two of the Nationals three pinch-homers, looped a 2-out, 2-run single off Marc Rzepczynski for the go-ahead hit. There are just four players with postseason experience on the roster but the Nationals led the National League with 98 wins. Its a huge step for a franchise that hadnt even come close to making the postseason since moving from Montreal in 2005 and brought postseason baseball to the nations capital for the first time since 1933. Washington overcame a wild start by 21-game winner Gio Gonzalez, who matched his career worst with seven walks. Five pitchers combined on a 3-hitter against the Cardinals, who made it to the best-of-5 division series by beating the Braves in a 1-game playoff. Tyler Clippard skirted an error in the eighth and Drew Storen got the save with a 1-2-3 ninth against the top of the order. The NL East champions go for a 2-0 series lead today when Jordan Zimmerman, whose 2.92 ERA ranked among the league leaders, faces Jaime Garcia, whose career 2.48 ERA is the best among major-league starters at 7-year-old Busch Stadium. The Cardinals wasted a 10-strikeout gem by Adam Wainwright, failing to capitalize enough on Gonzalezs career high-tying seven walks and frustrating their towel-waving fans. A standing room crowd of 47,078, among the largest at 7-year-old Busch Stadium, bundled up for a game that began in a 54-degree chill and featured kaleidoscope late-afternoon shadows that bedeviled hitters for several innings. Rookie shortstop Pete Kozma misplayed Michael Morses grounder for an error to open the eighth and set up the Nationals go-ahead rally. Desmond followed with a single off Mitchell Boggs, putting runners at the corners. Danny Espinosa sacrificed, putting runners at second and third with one out. Nationals manager Davey Johnson sent up Chad Tracy with two outs and switched to Moore after Cardinals manager Mike Matheny opted for Rzepczynski, his lone bullpen lefty. Rzepczynski was happy with his pitch but Moore poked it to right field and both runners scored easily. Wainwright became the first Cardinals pitcher to reach double digits in strikeouts in the postseason since Bob Gibson also fanned 10 to beat the Tigers in Game 4 of the 1968 World Series. Wainwright was a 14-game winner coming off reconstructive elbow surgery that sidelined him all of 2011, with 10 of the wins coming at home. Hes been a postseason ace with a microscopic 0.77 ERA and 32 strikeouts in 23 1-3 innings. Gonzalez allowed just one hit in five innings, David Freeses full-count bouncer between third and short to start the fourth. But he had trouble finding catcher Kurt Suzukis glove and keeping warm. The second inning was his shakiest, when he allowed the Cardinals to score twice and take the lead without a hit. Gonzalez walked four of the first five hitters, putting St. Louis in position to score one run on a wild pitch and a second on Jon Jays bases-loaded sacrifice fly.

(Continued from Page 6) Homecoming contest as they take on the Hanover Panthers, who are undefeated in the HCAC. The game is slated to start at 1:30 p.m. in Salzman Stadium. ----Earlham rallies with three second half goals for 4-3 win over Beavers By Adriane Bruner Sports information assistant RICHMOND, Ind. - The Earlham College womens soccer team opened with its first goal just over two minutes into the match but the Beavers responded with two scores for a 2-1 lead at the break. After a back-and-forth scoring spree midway through the final period, the Quakers ended up on top 4-3. Bluffton dropped to 2-7-1 (0-1-1 HCAC) on the season, while Earlham improved to 6-4-1 (2-0-1 HCAC). Earlham scored the first goal in the opening minutes of the match before Bluffton senior Maddie Moore (Linn Grove, Ind./South Adams)

capitalized in minute 10, tying the match at one. With less than two minutes to play in the first period, Moore buried her second goal, putting Bluffton on top at the half. Earlham added a pair of tallies five minutes apart in period two to take the lead. The Beavers quickly responded with a goal by sophomore Taylor Fultz (Camden/ Preble Shawnee), making the score 3-3. However, another Earlham goal with 16 minutes to play cinched the 4-3 victory for the home team. Earlham finished with a 17-11 advantage in shots and a 7-1 advantage in corner kicks, while committing six fewer fouls (12-6). Taylor Fultz led the Beavers with four shots, followed by Maddie Moore with three attempts. The Quakers were called for offsides 16 times in the match. Bluffton will look to get back into the win column when the Beavers travel to Indiana to battle Anderson University on Wednesday. The contest is slated for 6:30 p.m.

DETROIT Don Kelly is on Detroits postseason roster because he can play any position in the field, so it was with some irony that he stood at the plate as the designated hitter with the bases loaded in the bottom of the ninth inning. Kelly hit .186 during the regular season but all the Tigers needed was a fly ball. Kellys sacrifice fly lifted the Tigers over the Oakland Athletics 5-4 Sunday for a 2-0 lead in their AL playoff series. Kelly entered the game as a pinch-runner an inning earlier and scored the tying run on wild pitch. He stayed in the game in the DH slot and with Detroit almost out of position players, Kelly delivered to put the Tigers one win closer to a second straight trip to the AL championship series. Detroit overcame three As leads and seesawed to victory. It was 1-all before a wild final three innings that included a key error by Oakland centerfielder Coco Crisp, two gametying wild pitches and several momentum changes. Tigers reliever Al Alburquerque kept it tied in the ninth when he got Yoenis Cespedes to hit a comebacker with men on first and third and two outs. Omar Infante and TripleCrown winner Miguel Cabrera hit back-to-back singles off Grant Balfour with one out in the bottom half. With runners on first and third, Prince Fielder was intentionally walked, bringing up Kelly, who was designated for assignment in early August but returned to the Tigers less than a month later. Kellys fly to right was

plenty deep enough to score Infante without a play at the plate. It was Kellys first RBI since June and another big playoff moment for him his home run last year helped the Tigers beat the New York Yankees in the decisive fifth game of the division series. On Sunday, Kelly became the first player to score a run and have an RBI in a postseason game with no official atbats since Baltimores Gary Roenicke in Game 3 of the 1983 ALCS, according to STATS, LLC. Detroit will go for a sweep of the division series matchup in Game 3 on Tuesday at Oakland. The As were left to lament a poor performance by their bullpen and some crucial mistakes in the late innings that allowed this game to slip away. Cliff Pennington gave the As the lead with an RBI single in the seventh but Crisp dropped Cabreras 2-out fly ball in the bottom half, allowing two runs to score. Oakland tied it in the eighth on a wild pitch by Joaquin Benoit and Josh Reddick followed with a solo homer to give the As a 4-3 lead. Then it was Ryan Cooks turn to throw a tying wild pitch, allowing Kelly to score. Pennington nearly came through again for Oakland in the ninth,but his deep drive down the left-field line was just foul. Alburquerque missed most of the season after offseason surgery on his throwing elbow. He came on to face Cespedes with the Tigers in a jam and that one out was enough to earn him the win. The As have taken the lead four times in this series but on each occasion they failed to

hold it through the bottom half of the inning. Doug Fister allowed two runs and six hits in seven innings for Detroit, striking out eight. Rookie Tommy Milone was impressive for the As, allowing a run and five hits in six innings. He struck out six. Fister gave the As trouble early with his slow, sweeping breaking ball but Oakland hit four singles in the third. Crisps slow roller to third turned into an infield hit when Cabrera threw wide to first. Stephen Drew struck out looking and had words for plate umpire Mark Wegner but Cespedes followed with a runscoring single. Cabrera hit a 1-out double in the bottom of the third. He went to third on a single by Fielder and scored on a dribbler by Delmon Young that was too slow to be a double play.
Yankees 7, Orioles 2 BALTIMORE The New York Yankees earned the AL East title by pulling away from the Baltimore Orioles in the final week of the regular season. That scenario repeated itself in the first game of their AL playoff series and now the Orioles are again forced to play catch up against their division rivals. Russell Martin led off the ninth inning with a tie-breaking home run off Jim Johnson, CC Sabathia turned in a sparkling pitching performance and the Yankees gained the upper hand with a 7-2 victory Sunday night. For eight innings, the teams engaged in a tense duel that could have gone either way. Then came the ninth inning, when the Yankees scored five runs off Johnson, Baltimores AllStar closer, to ruin the Orioles first home playoff game since 1997. New Yorks Robinson Cano contributed a 2-run double in the ninth. The Yankees have been to the playoffs in 17 of the last 18 years. This is Baltimores first trip in 15 years, following 14 successive losing seasons. Sabathia allowed two runs and eight hits, coming within an out of his first career complete game in the postseason. He was 0-2 in three starts against Baltimore during the regular season but in this one the husky left-hander returned to form and improved his lifetime record against the Orioles to 17-4. He is 6-1 with the Yankees in the postseason, 4-0 in the division series. With the score 2-all, Martin drove a 2-0 pitch from Johnson into the

left-field seats. It was the first of four straight hits off Johnson, who led the majors with 51 saves. Raul Ibanez and Derek Jeter followed with singles, Ichiro Suzuki drove in a run with a swinging bunt and one out later, Cano hit a 2-run double. In his seven prior appearances against New York, Johnson allowed one run in seven innings and had three saves. Nick Swisher capped the 5-run ninth with a sacrifice fly off Tommy Hunter. The start of the game was delayed by rain for 2 hours, 26 minutes; that did nothing to lessen the enthusiasm of the 47,841 fans who waited so long for the Orioles to play a postseason game at Camden Yards. Orioles starter Jason Hammel allowed two runs, four hits and four walks in 5 2/3 innings. The righthander underwent knee surgery in July and returned to pitch two games in September before his right knee began to bother him again. After working his way back into form, Hammel donned a knee brace and gave Baltimore a solid 112-pitch outing in his first start in nearly a month. New York missed an excellent chance to take the lead in the seventh. After Troy Patton walked Martin and Ibanez, Darren ODay entered and Jeter dropped down a perfect 2-strike sacrifice bunt. With the infield drawn in, Suzuki hit a sharp grounder to second baseman Robert Andino, who threw home. Matt Wieters grabbed the ball on the short hop and tagged out Martin. ODay then struck out Alex Rodriguez. Neither team got a runner in scoring position again until J.J. Hardy started the Baltimore eighth with a double. He did not advance. Immediately after Orioles fans cheered and waved their orange towels following a first-pitch strike by Hammel to open the game, the Yankees went to work. Jeter hit a leadoff single and Suzuki followed with an RBI double into the gap in left-center. But Suzuki was thrown out trying to steal third and Hammel settled down by striking out Rodriguez and retiring Cano on a broken-bat fly to right. Sabathia retired the first six batters he faced without allowing a ball out of the infield, then ran into trouble in the third inning. Chris Davis led off with a single, Lew Ford singled and both runners moved up on a bunt before Nate McLouth bounced a two-run single into right field for a 2-1 lead. New York promptly tied it in the fourth but another potential big inning was short-circuited when a runner was thrown out on the base paths. After Hammel walked two of the first three batters, Mark Teixeira ripped a liner off the right-field scoreboard. The hit brought home a run but Teixeira who only recently returned from a strained left calf was thrown out at second by Davis. That left Swisher at third base with two outs and after an intentional walk to Curtis Granderson, Martin hit a fly to center. Singles by Davis and Andino put runners at the corners with one out in the fifth before McLouth looked at a third strike and Hardy grounded out.

TALLADEGA, Ala. The championship contenders said Talladega Superspeedway would be the wild-card race in the Chase for the Sprint Cup. That was an understatement. Talladega delivered yet another big one Sunday, when defending NASCAR champion Tony Stewart triggered a 25-car pileup as he tried to protect the lead. His bid to block a long line of traffic on the last lap backfired and his car was sent sailing through the air in a chaotic crash that collected 10 of the 12 title contenders. Daytona 500 winner Matt Kenseth won under caution; everyone else was left wondering when NASCAR will do something dramatic to alter the dangerous racing at restrictor-plate tracks. Its not safe. Its not. Its bloodthirsty, Dale Earnhardt Jr. said. If thats what people want, thats ridiculous. Stewart, who assailed the

wreckfests at Talladega with a sarcastic diatribe in May, took full responsibility for creating the latest carnage. He had charged to the lead on the first lap of a 2-lap sprint to the finish but got too far ahead of the pack to hang on to any drafting partners. Kenseth was charging on the outside of him and Michael Waltrip was leading a line of traffic on the inside. Stewart was blocking all over the track and said he mistakenly chopped across the front of Waltrips car to trigger the accident. The contact hooked Stewart to send him into a spin; his car lifted into the air and sailed on its roof and then on its side over several other cars. It created chaos through the pack, which was running 3-wide in a frantic dash to the finish. I just screwed up. I turned down and cut across Michael and crashed the whole field, Stewart said. It was my fault, blocking and trying to stay where I was at. Stewart gamely waved to the crowd as he climbed from his battered car, while Jimmie Johnson sat on the ledge of Earnhardts window for a lift back to the garage. Everywhere they looked, they saw crumpled cars. Five-time Talladega winner Earnhardt said enough is enough with the carnage. He was credited with a 20thplace finish that dropped him four spots in the standings to 11th. If this was what we did every week, I wouldnt be doing it, he added. Ill just put it to you that way. If this was how we raced every week, Id find another job. Thats what the package is doing. Its really not racing. Its a little disappointing. It cost a lot of money right there. Of the 12 Chase drivers, only race winner Kenseth and second-place finisher Jeff Gordon avoided the final wreck and it pushed Gordon up four spots in the standings to sixth with six races remaining. But there was little change beyond that as everyone else ended up with a sub-par finish. That was the craziest, craziest finish Ive ever experienced at Talladega, Gordon said. It was just insane. I remember when coming to Talladega was fun and I havent experienced that in a long time. That was bumpercars at 200 mph. I dont know anybody who likes that. It took NASCAR more than an hour to sort the final finishing order. When the results were finally posted, Kyle Busch was third and was

followed by David Ragan and Regan Smith, who grabbed a season-best fifth-place finish in his final race with Furniture Row Racing. Chase driver Greg Biffle was sixth, followed by points leader Brad Keselowski, Travis Kvapil, Ryan Newman and Jeff Burton. Keselowski considered himself lucky to be leaving with a 14-point lead over Johnson. Keselowski added he was holding on trying to stay in the bottom lane because he figured that would be his escape route when the inevitable accident happened. He was credited with a seventh-place finish but his Penske Racing team had a photo that showed Keselowski on the apron in fourth with the caution lights on when the field should have been frozen. Both owner Roger Penske and team president Tim Cindric believed the driver wasnt awarded the proper finish. Most of the race was tame, which seems to be the norm anymore as drivers use varying strategies to ensure they are still running at the end. The highlight before the final drama was Kurt Busch being parked by NASCAR for driving away from safety workers as they attempted to check on him after he wrecked. Busch had lost fuel pressure while leading, which led to his accident in his final race with Phoenix Racing. Hes scheduled to join Furniture Row Racing, the team that signed him for 2013, next week but could face sanctions from NASCAR. Busch wasnt wearing his helmet, which he said prevented him from hearing a NASCAR official telling him to not to move. When he drove away, a safety workers bag fell off the back of his car. Because Talladega is the fourth race in the Chase for the Sprint Cup, the championship-contending drivers had to do everything in the power to leave with a good finish. It meant Denny Hamlin spent most of the race at the back of the pack so far back, he was in danger of not being able to make up any ground when he needed to hustle. A spin by Jamie McMurray brought out the final caution and bunched the field together, which gave Kasey Kahne, Martin Truex Jr. and Hamlin a chance to salvage their day. They had two laps to get to the finish line and Stewart darted from fifth to first on the restart. But he couldnt win without some serious defensive driving and it led to the accident that is part of Talladegas legacy.

Anniversary

Phoning home again: E.T. 30 years later

By CHRISTY LEMIRE The Associated Press LOS ANGELES How old is too old to sob like a little girl at E.T. the ExtraTerrestrial? Not 40, apparently. The Steven Spielberg film that would become a 1980s pop-culture phenomenon is coming out on Blu-Ray for the first time Tuesday 30 years, four Academy Awards and nearly $800 million after its theatrical release. To commemorate this, theaters across the country recently showed a digitally re-mastered version of the film for one night only. Being a total geek for E.T., I jumped at the chance to see it again in a theater. And yes, I dug up my old red hoodie and bought some Reeses Pieces for the occasion. Having worked as a film critic for a while now and with a child of my own I wanted to find out whether the movie would still have the same emotional impact on me as it did when I was a kid. I wondered whether I looked back fondly at it as a piece of nostalgia, or if the film itself truly was as original, wellmade and heart-tugging as I remembered. Thinking about the movies I watched repeatedly growing up The Wizard of Oz, The Karate Kid, The Breakfast Club its always E.T. that stirs something deeply within me. I recall experiencing an aching sense of longing when 10-year-old Elliott (Henry Thomas) says goodbye to the best friend hed ever had this impish, inquisitive alien from far away knowing hed never see him again. I wanted to see whether Id feel that again and I was far from alone. My theater was packed with viewers of every type. Some came in groups while others sneaked in alone in the dark; still others brought their own children to share this movie they loved. Once the film began, I realized pretty quickly that it wasnt a question of whether Id cry, but rather how many times. The answer is four: When the spaceship takes off and E.T.s heart light goes out at the sad realization that hes been left behind on this strange planet. Alone. In the San Fernando Valley. The first time E.T. makes Elliotts bicycle fly across the sky, with John Williams iconic score soaring in the background; people in my audience erupted into spontaneous applause. When E.T. is dying. We all know E.T. doesnt die, but it reduces me to a puddle every time. Finally, when E.T. says goodbye to everyone, waddles aboard his spaceship and flies away. Tears just streaming down my face. No shame. Seeing E.T. again also made me noticed things about it from a professional standpoint that I hadnt before; like the fact that most of the film is shot from either Elliotts or E.T.s perspective, or from their eye level. The only adults face we see for about 80 minutes is that of Elliotts mom (Dee Wallace); other grownups are faceless or shrouded in darkness. Elliotts science teacher is just a torso and a voice, while Peter Coyotes character, who eventually reveals himself to be a sympathetic, kindred spirit, for a long time is little more than jangling keys on the waistband of a pair of jeans. Fundamentally, though, theres a great authenticity to the kids in E.T. that makes it so universal, and that comes from the honesty and purity of Melissa Mathisons script. There is zero irony here; they wholeheartedly goof on each other. They dont have cellphones. Theyre not overscheduled. Elliott, his older brother Michael (Robert

Mr. and Mrs. Gerald Lindeman of Delphos will celebrate 25 years of marriage on Oct. 10, with a family dinner. A vacation to Texas is planned for later in the month.

Neeson doubles the take with $50M Taken 2 debut

By DAVID GERMAIN The Associated Press LOS ANGELES Critics dont like Taken 2, but Liam Neesons action sequel has proved twice the hit among fans as the original movie was. Taken 2 led the box office with $50 million domestically over opening weekend, according to studio estimates Sunday. Thats double the haul for Neesons Taken, which took in $24.7 million in its U.S. debut in early 2009. Taken went on to become a $145 million smash for Neeson, the Academy Award-nominated star of Schindlers List who has become an unlikely action hero in his 50s. In Taken 2, Neeson returns as a retired CIA agent using his expert espionage and killing skills to take on a gang of thugs out for revenge against him and his family. He gives hope to aging men, said Paul Dergarabedian, an analyst for box-office tracker Hollywood.com. Hes done the reverse of most actors, where you do the action stuff when youre younger then do the more introspective work when youre older. Hes sort of turned it around. When hes 80, hell probably be kicking even more butt. Taken 2, which began rolling out overseas a weekend earlier, added $55 million more in about 50 international markets to raise its worldwide total to $117 million. The previous weekends No. 1 movie at the U.S. box office, Adam Sandlers animated hit Hotel Transylvania, dropped to second-place with $26.3 million. The Sony release raised its domestic total to $76 million, and it has taken in $29.3 million overseas for a worldwide haul of $105.3 million. Expanding into nationwide release after a limited debut a week earlier, Universals music tale Pitch Perfect moved up to thirdplace with $14.7 million. The movie stars Anna Kendrick as a college freshman spicing things up for her a cappella singing squad. Sonys sci-fi thriller Looper, starring Bruce Willis and Joseph GordonLevitt, fell from second-place to fourth with $12.2 million, lifting its domestic haul to $40.3 million. Tim Burtons animated monster tale Frankenweenie had a slow start, taking in $11.5 million to round out the top-five. The Disney release is an update of Burtons 1984 live-action short film, about a boy who brings his dead dog back to life. Released by 20th Century Fox, Taken 2 gave a big boost to Hollywood revenues, which have lagged most weekends since late summer. Domestic business totaled $138 million, up 45.5 percent from the same weekend last year, when Real Steel led with $27.3 million. While the first movie got respectable reviews, Taken 2 was panned by critics as a replay of the original. Audiences rarely care what critics say, though. Most people go to the movies for a certain dose

MacNaughton) and younger sister Gertie (Drew Barrymore, displaying impeccable comic timing at age 6) truly believe in this creature. It makes absolute sense to them that hed show up and be their friend. Why shouldnt he be able to cobble together a phone using a Speak and Spell, a coat hanger, a record player and a fork? This was the childlike wonder of early Spielberg. This was the optimism of the decade. Anything seemed possible. E.T. similarly looks very of-its-time technically and that includes some forgivably cheesy green screen during the flying scenes. As in Spielbergs Raiders of the Lost Ark, the effects have a quaint tangibility. Today, E.T. would be rendered with CGI or performance capture. It would probably be in 3-D. Thomas himself told me recently that only now, at 41 with three kids of his own, can he finally appreciate the films enduring nature. Its my great hope that the message of compassion and friendship, and that kind of being a universal thing that crosses all boundaries that, to me, is the great thing about the film and the reason its stuck with audiences for so long.

of escapism, said Chris Aronson, head of distribution for 20th Century Fox. It doesnt have to be high art. It doesnt have to be serious and contemplative. They go to the movies to be entertained, and my gosh, thats what this movie does. Frankenweenie had a modest debut compared to Burtons last animated feature, Corpse Bride, which took in $19.1 million in its first weekend of wide release in 2005. Both films were made through stop-motion animation, using puppets moved incrementally and photographed a frame at a time.

ROSWELL, N.M. (AP) Experienced skydiver and extreme athlete Felix Baumgartner hopes to take the leap of his life on Tuesday, attempting the highest, fastest free fall in history. If he survives, the man dubbed Fearless Felix could be the first skydiver to break the sound barrier. If he doesnt, a tragic fall could be live-streamed on the Internet for the world to see. Rigged with cameras, the 43-year-old former military parachutist from Austria is scheduled to jump from a balloon-hoisted capsule 23 miles near Roswell on Tuesday morning. He wants to break the record set in 1960 by Joe Kittinger, who jumped from an open gondola at an altitude of 19.5 miles. Kittingers speed of 614 mph was just shy of breaking the sound barrier at that height. Baumgartner, who has been preparing for the jump for five years, has made two practice runs from the Roswell area, from 15 miles high in March and 18 miles in July. And while he and his team of experts recognize the worstcase scenarios including boiling blood and exploding lungs they have confidence in their built-in solutions. Those solutions are something NASA is watching closely. The space agency is interested in the potential for escape systems on future rocket ships. Baumgartners top medical man is Dr. Jonathan Clark, a former NASA flight surgeon whose wife, astronaut Laurel Clark, died in the space shuttle Columbia accident in 2003.

Ask Mr. Know-it-all

By Gary Clothier

He was a legitimate hanging judge

the bar at the age of 21. He headed west on a steamboat to St. Joseph, Mo., where he began to practice law. In 1868, he won a six-year term as judge of the Twelfth Missouri Circuit. Two years later, he was elected to Congress. By late 1874, the political winds had shifted in Missouri, and he decided not to seek a third term. President Grant appointed Parker as judge of the federal district court for the Western District of Arkansas, in Fort Smith. He arrived in Fort Smith on May 4, 1875, and held court for the first time six days later. Eighteen people came before him charged with murder -- 15 were convicted. Of those, eight were sentenced to the gallows. He sat on the bench for 21 years; he is said to have tried 13,490 cases, and 160 were sentenced to hang, though 79 were actually hanged. Q: In an interview with Drew Carey, The Price Is Right host, he said that he was engag-ed. Do you know if he ever got married? Every so often on the show, he will come onstage with a young boy whom he introduces as his son. Is this boy his stepson or his actual son? -D.M., Pekin, Ill. A: In October 2007, Carey proposed to Nicole Jaracz. No date for a wedding has been set; it will be the first marriage for both and they have no children of their o w n . Jaracz has a s o n , Connor, from a previous Drew Carey relationship. Connor has appeared on the TV show several times, and Carey has referred to him as his son. Q: I saw the movie Meet My Mom on TV, and one of the actors was Johnny Messner. I had never heard of him. What can you tell me about him? -- J.A., Bridgewater, Mass. A: Johnny Messner entered the world in Syracuse, N.Y., on April 11, 1970. His first film appearance came in 2000; since then, hes appeared in at least two dozen more, including three movies with Bruce Willis. He has also been in at least a dozen TV series, including The Guiding Light, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, Friends, The O.C., Law and Order: SVU and Cold Case.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW FOR A SUCCESSFUL HUNTING SEASON

PRACTICING GUN SAFETY GEARING UP FOR HUNTING SEASON HUNTING DATES & BAG LIMITS PROCESSING AND TAXIDERMY CHOICES

Deer Checking
The automated game check and permanent tagging process no longer requires hunters to transport their deer to an official game-check station for permanent tagging. License agents will process game-check transactions, but will not visually inspect or permanently tag deer on behalf of hunters. Metal tags have been discontinued. Hunters will not receive a metal tag for their deer. Hunters are encouraged to complete the automated game check and permanent tagging process in a sheltered area. The hunter must complete the automated game check and permanent tagging process by 12 p.m. (noon) the day after the kill or 11:30 p.m. the last day of the season. Hunters must have their permit with the attached permanent tag in hand to complete the game-check and permanent tagging process. Hunters can complete the automated game check and permanent tagging process in one of three ways: Call 1-877-TAGITOH (1-877-824-4864) Visit wildohio.com. Click on Wild Ohio Customer Center and then click on Game Check: Report a Deer or Turkey Harvest. To game check a harvest online, make sure to use a computer connected to a printer. A game check receipt will be issued and SHOULD be printed. When using a smartphone for game check, you must access your customer account at wildohio.com when you are at a computer, click on the Game Check button, and print your game check receipt. Visit any authorized license sales agent. A list of sales agents can be found here. Hunters do not need to take their deer to the agent for the game check. Authorized license sales agents will be available for game check during normal business hours. Call for exact hours of operation. Regardless of the game check method, the hunter must provide the 10-digit permit number, which is printed in large numbers on every permit. The hunter must answer a series of questions like those traditionally asked at game check stations. At the end of the process, the hunter will be issued an 18-digit permanent tag number. The first six digits are pre-printed on the permanent tag(s). When a hunter has game checked their deer by Web or agent, they will receive a game check receipt with their per-

New license paper no longer weatherproof/tear proof

In an effort to reduce costs, hunting and fishing licenses will no longer be printed on weatherproof/tear-proof paper. Protective License Holders Special Consideration For Deer & Turkey Hunters Immediately upon harvest of the animal or bird, hunters have a legal obligation to record the time and date of harvest on the temporary kill tag and attach it to the carcass see current Hunting & Trapping Regulations for details. The information on the temporary kill tag must not be obliterated or made illegible by weather or environmental conditions. Therefore, hunters should at least have a zip lock clear plastic bag or other protective license holder in his or her possession in order to protect the temporary kill tag from harm, and to help secure it to the carcass. The Ohio Division of Wildlife does not provide protective license holders. License Agents may choose to sell protective license holders to our mutual customers, but may not require customers to purchase a license holder or any other product or service as a condition of sale of hunting and/or fishing licenses. Lamination Do Not Laminate Deer or Turkey Permits The Ohio Division of Wildlife encourages hunters and anglers to carry licenses and permits in a protective pouch. Another option is lamination. License Agents who choose to provide lamination services to our mutual customers must abide by the following rules: License Agents may not require customers to purchase lamination services (or any other product or service) as a condition of sale of hunting and/or fishing licenses. License Agents who use heat-activated lamination machines must use a heat setting of 215 degrees or lower, otherwise it will destroy the license. Do not laminate deer or turkey permits/tags. Deer and turkey hunters are required to fill-in certain information on the temporary kill-tag before attaching it to the carcass see License Holders above.

Automated game check and permanent tagging

manent tag number printed on it. Hunters using the telephone game check method will receive the final 12 digits of the number over the phone. The first six digits are pre-printed on the permanent tag(s). The 18-digit permanent tag number must be written on the permanent tag(s) in the spaces provided on the permanent tag(s). Remember, the first six digits are pre-printed on the permanent tag(s). The hunter must write the date and time of kill on the permanent tag and sign it. DEER HUNTERS must write the permanent tag number on BOTH permanent tags. The completed permanent tag must then be attached to the deer. The temporary tag can be discarded. The game check and permanent tagging process is complete.

STAY SAFE
(StatePoint) Hunting season is underway, and both beginners and old pros are gearing up for adventure. But even the most seasoned hunters dont know everything about their sport. Hunting can be dangerous, and experts warn that there is such a thing as getting too comfortable with firearms. Everyone needs instruction, says David E. Petzal, co-host of the Outdoor Channel show The Gun Nuts and co-author of the new Field & Stream book, The Total Gun Manual: 335 Essential Shooting Skills. Admitting what you dont know is actually one of the most crucial steps toward becoming an expert shooter and a safer hunter. With that in mind, Petzal and co-author Phil Bourjaily are providing crucial safety tips to anyone planning to go hunting this season: Every time you see a gun, pick one up or point it, assume that its loaded and treat it accordingly. Make sure your safety is always on and that the barrel is pointing down when you are walking or transporting your gun. When hunting with dogs, be sure the muzzle is level with the ground at the

very least and preferably angled up in the air. Never shoot at a sound or movement. Be absolutely sure that youre shooting at an animal and that no people are anywhere near your target. Wear at least the required amount of orange so you dont become another hunters target. Make sure all animals are dead before strapping them onto your vehicle. Wait until your kids are old enough to understand and follow rules before bringing them hunting. Never climb a tree or over a

this hunting season

fence with a loaded gun. Keep your finger off the trigger until youre ready to shoot. Save those beers until the end of the day, its just plain common sense. Look well beyond your target before you shoot. High-powered ammunition can travel up to three miles and still be deadly. Hunt with a trusted buddy. If youre alone, make sure that someone knows where you will be and when to expect you back. If youre hunting with an unsafe shooter, you dont need an excuse to leave. If using a tree stand to hunt, dont forget to wear a safety belt. Be sure all your equipment is working properly and you know how to operate it before hunting. Store and transport ammunition separately from guns. Keep everything under lock and key when its not in use. It doesnt take much effort to elevate your heart rate into the danger zone. Make sure you exercise regularly for better fitness on your hunt. Thorough safety tips, buying guides and practical gun handling advice can be found in The Total Gun Manual: 335 Essential Shooting Skills by Phil Bourjaily and David Petzal. For more information, visit Bourjaily and Petzals blog, www.fieldandstream.com/ blogs/gun-nut. Before heading out for your next big hunt, lock and load for your adventure by reviewing life-saving safety rules.

As you join thousands of hunters heading into the woods, fields and marshes during the fall hunting seasons, ODNR safety experts remind you to review and think about firearm safety each and every time you head out. Essential to any responsible hunting trip is an ironclad adherence to the four basic rules of firearm safety that can be easily remembered using the TAB-K formula. T = Treat every firearm as if it is loaded. Never assume a firearm is unloaded and never treat it that way, even if you watch as it is unloaded. Make it a habit to treat guns like they are loaded all the time. A = Always point the muzzle in a safe direction. About one third of all hunting incidents are self inflicted injuries. That means the muzzle was pointed at some part of the hunters body. A safe direction is a direction where the bullet will travel and harm no one in the event of an unwanted discharge. There are no accidental discharges with firearms, only unwanted discharges. B = Be certain of your target and whats beyond it. Positive target identification is a must. To shoot at something you only think is a legal target is gambling. In the case of human injury, that means gambling with human life. You must be absolutely certain and correct in judgment before deciding to shoot. Otherwise, its reckless behavior. In addition to identifying the target, a hunter must know that a safe backstop for their bullet is present in every shooting situation. We dont always hit our target, and, in some cases, the bullet passes through the target. A safe backstop guarantees that no one will get hurt. K = Keep your finger outside the trigger guard until ready to shoot. If a hunter stumbles with a firearm in one hand and nothing in the other, whatever that person does with their free hand will automatically happen with the hand holding the gun. If a finger is inside the trigger guard, that hand is likely going to close around the pistol grip of the Be sure to keep these gun and on the trigger causing an unwanted discharge. important safety Planning your fall hunting trip also means having your basics in mind to gear in proper working order.

Tomorrows Horoscope
By Bernice Bede Osol
TUESDAY, OCTOBER 9, 2012 Revive an old relationship with someone whom youre likely to run into again in the year ahead. This person always had what you lacked, and vice versa. You both are likely to do wonders for each other. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- If you believe your schemes arent working out as well as they should, it might be best to revise your plan of action in favor of something else that you know will work. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Do a little extra probing, if thats what you believe it takes, to figure out a solution to a problem. Youll be glad that you kept at this particular dilemma. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Be extremely careful that you do not prematurely rush to judgment, especially if you have to make a critical decision. Weigh and balance every facet of the situation. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -Its one of those days when it might be wiser to listen to your sentiments rather than your logic when dealing with some co-workers. Your heart could be smarter than your brain. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Sometimes when we try too hard not to make a mistake, it causes us to make foolish errors. Thus, the smart thing to do is to relax and just do the best that you can. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- It is likely to take solid commitment on your part in order to effectively complete something. If you allow outside factors to steer you off course, youll accomplish nothing. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -Think for yourself, and dont be afraid to let others know youll be doing just that. If you dont, you could get caught up in supporting a situation that you find distasteful. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -There are a lot of things you can do yourself instead of paying someone else to do them. However, know your limitations and dont attempt the impossible. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Dont make winning unduly important when engaged in competitive activities with friends. The focus should be on fun at all times. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -Instead of moaning and groaning about a bad hand that you believe has been dealt you, take your mind off yourself and try doing something purely for enjoyments sake. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Dont confuse self-doubt with shrewd analysis. The latter is letting a constructive mind do the thinking, while the former invites failure. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Your rewards are likely to be proportionate to what you achieve, unless you fail to get off the ground by listening to a negative associate who discourages you from the start. WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 10, 2012 Several projects that have been long in the making could finally come to fruition in the year ahead. Youll be happy that you didnt throw in the towel when things were difficult. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Dont be reluctant to say what needs saying. Youre not just a capable teacher, but an excellent salesperson as well. Others can benefit from many of your ideas and comments. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -Hunches or perceptions should not be ignored, especially if they pertain to your commercial affairs. Theres a good chance your intuition will zero in on things your logic overlooks. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Some of your bigger expectations might have a better chance of fulfillment than will your lesser ones. It behooves you to not put any limitations on your thinking. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- When it comes to your work or career, you could be exceptionally fortunate when working on vital projects. Dont be afraid to handle more than one task simultaneously. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -Something in which youre involved has excellent potential for success, as long as its reorganized. This is an especially good day to take some time to make improvements. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -There is a good chance that you could reap some rather substantial benefits from shifting conditions. Even a few sudden changes could prove to be lucky for you. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -Things could work out quite well in a partnership situation, if the ideas you have mesh well with the course of action your partner wants to take. Work together. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You are likely to discover that what you have to offer, whether it is an idea or a product, could be more valuable than you first realized. Rethink the deal you made with another. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You wont just be a good leader, youre also likely to be a very capable manager. Make sure youre both when dealing with sticky situations. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -Things will work out in the long run if you are patient enough to wait it out. Dont get disturbed over a matter that gets off track -- its just a temporary mishap. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Because youll know how to make everyone you encounter feel that he or she is special, your popularity is likely to reach a high point. Youll deserve the pats on the back you receive. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -Although it might come as a surprise, Lady Luck will tend to favor you. The two areas in which she is likely to reward you pertain to your status and finances.
