Tri-County sees unemployment drop in August

BY KIRK DOUGALDHI Media Group Publisher

[email protected]

The unemployment rates in Allen and Van Wert counties and the surrounding area dropped in August, according to a report released on Tuesday from the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services and the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Unlike some previous months, the lower percentages are due to more people finding jobs.

The jobless rate in Allen County fell a full percent from 6.1 to 5.1 percent. In August, of the 48,700 labor force, 2,500 were unemployed compared to 3,000 unemployed of 48,800 in July.

Past decreases in the jobless rate for area counties have occurred because people had stopped their search for a job and no longer counted in the labor force number. However, in Van Wert County, the total number of people in the county labor force remained the same from July to August (14,100), while the employed number went up by 100 (to 13,400) and the unemployed number fell by 100 (to 600). This resulted in the jobless rate falling from 5.3 percent to 4.5 percent. The drop broke a two-month streak of rising unemployment and equaled the jobless rate from May of this year.

That same trend continued across all the neighboring coun-ties from July to August of this year. Mercer (3.3% to 3.0%), Paulding (5.2% to 4.5%), and Putnam (5.0% to 4.0%) counties all showed dips in their respective unemployment rates that were mirrored with increases in employed residents and stable or growing labor force numbers.

Buckeye Trail Assoc. to host canal trail clean-upsBY STEPHANIE GROVES

DHI Media Staff [email protected]

OTTOVILLE — On Saturday, volunteers around the nation, including The Buckeye Trail Association’s trail work crew, along with Ottoville and Delphos volunteers at Ohio State Parks - Miami and Erie Canal Lands, will chip in to help improve public treasured places and to celebrate National Public Lands Day (NPLD), the largest, single-day volunteer event for public lands in the country.

Buckeye Trail Association member Sam Bonifas spoke with Ottoville Village Council members during Monday night’s meeting and said work crews will be clearing the tow-path on Saturday, Sunday and Monday.

“It’s the First Annual North Country National Scenic Trail Day,” he said. “We will work on approximately one-half mile of the trail picking up trash and pruning trees; basically clear-ing the towpath for relocation of the trail.”

Bonifas said the objective is to relocate the stretch of the Buckeye Trail/North Country National Scenic Trail from its current on-road Road 25-P location to off-road at the north edge of the Village of Ottoville.

“Specifically, the work will be moving the trail onto the State of Ohio’s property of the Miami and Erie Canal Lands and the village of Ottoville property of the Miami and Erie Canal Lands,” Bonifas said. ”The towpath will be used as much as possible.”

Delphos, Putnam pool resources for training

FORT JENNINGS — Area fire and rescue personnel tested a low head dam in the Auglaize

River Wednesday evening during water rescue training. Delphos and Fort Jennings fire depart-ments and the Putnam County Sheriff’s Office participated in the evening of drills at one of two dams behind Fort Jennings

Park.“We are working on dam res-

cue and boat control near a dam tonight,” Putnam County Sheriff Mike Chandler said. “Right now the water is down. If there was another three or four feet in

there, you’d see the guys strug-gling to keep that boat off the dam and the water might even take the front of the boat down and put them in.”

BRIEFSVirus behind respiratory illness confirmed

COLUMBUS (AP) — Health officials say two hos-pitals in Ohio have confirmed cases of an uncommon virus causing severe respiratory ill-ness for children in about two dozen states.

Columbus Public Health says the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention con-firmed the germ, entero-virus 68, in samples from Nationwide Children’s Hospital.

An Ohio Public Health spokeswoman also says at least one sample from Akron Children’s Hospital tested positive for the germ.

The Ohio Department of Health says the state has seen increased respiratory ill-ness cases, especially in chil-dren. Samples also have been sent to the CDC from hospi-tals in Chillicothe, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Coldwater, Dayton, Gallipolis, Lima and Sandusky.

The virus can cause coldlike symptoms. It’s an uncommon strain of a common family of viruses that typically hit from summertime through the fall.

ODH: Avoid mosquito-borne illnesses


COLUMBUS — While the risk of contracting mosquito-borne illnesses may be low, the Ohio Department of Health (ODH) is reminding Ohioans about how to avoid mosquito bites and the pos-sibility of such diseases. Cases of mosquito-borne diseases in Ohio typically occur in late summer and early fall when mosquitoes are most abundant.

Diseases that individuals can contract from infected mosquitoes in Ohio include West Nile virus (WNV), Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE), La Crosse Encephalitis (LAC) and St. Louis Encephalitis (SLE). Ohio currently has six con-firmed cases of WNV, including one death. Three horses in Ashtabula County and one in Trumbull County recently tested positive for EEE – but such infections in people are rare, and Ohio has no confirmed human EEE cases. Two children in Athens County are suspected to have contracted LAC and are being treated while testing is under way. Ohio has no confirmed cases of SLE.

Individuals may contract these diseases if bit-ten by an infected mosquito. These diseases can-not be transmitted from person-to-person, and EEE cannot be transmitted from horse-to-person.

“While the risk of contracting these mosquito-borne illnesses may be low, it’s a good idea to take precautions to reduce the likelihood of get-ting mosquito bites,” said Dr. Mary DiOrio, ODH State Epidemiologist.

These precautions include:— When outdoors, use insect repellent that

contains an EPA-registered active ingredient such as DEET or picardin on exposed skin and on clothing. On children, use insect repellents that have no more than 10 percent DEET.

— Avoid being outside during dawn and dusk.— Wear light-colored long sleeves, pants, and

socks.— Eliminate all standing water from flower

pots, buckets, and barrels to prevent mosquitoes from breeding in stagnant water.

— Change bird bath water weekly.— Make sure all window and door screens are

in good repair.— Keep gutters clean and free of debris.Most people infected with mosquito-borne

viruses show no symptoms. However, some peo-ple may have a mild fever, headache and muscle aches that will last up to a week. A small number of infected people may develop severe illness requiring hospitalization, with symptoms includ-ing confusion, weakness, stiff neck, tremors and convulsions.

New cases of such diseases confirmed in northeastern Ohio; Suspected in southeastern

Prepare for upcoming Medicare open enrollment


COLUMBUS – A free Ohio Department of Insurance educational program that helped Ohioans with Medicare save a record $16.4 million last year is holding events across Ohio now and through the Oct. 15 to Dec. 7 annual open enrollment period, Lieutenant Governor and Department of Insurance Director Mary Taylor said. The events are intended to help people better understand their Medicare cov-erage options.

The Department’s Ohio Senior Health Insurance Information Program (OSHIIP) will visit Henry County to hold a presen-tation-only Medicare Check-up Day event on Tuesdayat 1 p.m. at the Henry County Senior Center, located at 130 E. Clinton St. in Napoleon.

“Our aggressive statewide efforts have begun and we are excited to help Ohioans as they make decisions about Medicare coverage,” Taylor said. “We are doing Check-up Day events in every county to make it easier for Ohioans to access the information they need.”

OSHIIP is Medicare’s designated free and impartial educational and enrollment assis-tance program in the state for those utilizing Medicare, family members and health care professionals. At the Check-up Day event, attendees can learn about recent Medicare changes, such as the new deductibles, co-

pay, and coinsurance amounts, the Medicare Advantage and Part D plan options (begin-ning in October), and about financial assis-tance programs, such as extra help with prescription costs and for Part B premium savings.

Taylor encourages Ohioans satisfied with their current Medicare plan to still com-parison shop coverage for 2015 because plan costs and benefits can change. She said people comparing Medicare coverage should ensure a plan’s covered drugs include their needed prescriptions and to consider the con-venience of having pharmacies in network near where they live. It’s also important to consider all out-of-pocket expenses before making a decision.

Ohioans should watch for high pressure, and predatory sales practices, such as indi-viduals claiming to be Medicare representa-tives, Taylor said.

Mercer County retains the honor of the lowest jobless rate in Ohio at 3.0 percent. Putnam is now the sixth-lowest, followed by Van Wert (17), Paulding (20) and Allen (45) out of the 88 counties in the state. Despite a 1.5-percent drop in their unemployment rate, Monroe County main-tained the worst employment numbers with 10.7 percent of the labor force out of work. Following Monroe were Meigs (8.1%), Pike (7.8%), Scioto (7.6%) and Jefferson (7.2%) counties.

The number of people in the labor force total will remain key in the movement of the unemployment rate in the future. For example, while the August 2014 labor force in Van Wert County equaled 14,100, the number stood at 16,200 in August 2009 at the height of the recession, a difference of 2,100 potential workers.

Chandler said he’s seen cases where an outboard motor would just barely keep a rescue boat stable near dam. The men were working with a rope and pulley system using snap hooks.

Delphos Fire Chief Kevin Streets and several of his crew provided the boat and other equipment for the exercise with the counties on standby. Delphos has had a water res-cue unit for more than 20 years and it was put into action five times in the last three years — twice in Ottoville and on one occasion each in Willshire, Middle Point and Putnam County during flood situations.

Wednesday’s training brings the number of person-nel on the Delphos squad equipped to deal with water rescue to 80 percent. The unit has four trained divers along-side five in Putnam County. Putnam County started the first team in the area in the 1980s.

“We are getting to the point now where we can cover all three counties with water rescue,” Streets said. “Allen County has a unit as well.”

Captain Lee Ulm heads the unit that is equipped with a 21-foot trailer, a boat, dry suits and other gear. He said there are two things with water rescue.

“The first thing you have to look at is the risk versus the benefit,” Lee began. “Is it worth risking one of my people to perform the rescue? It is feasible. Can it work?”

He said the second is just as hard to think about.

“You have to plan to fail. Water rescue is the second most dangerous job; dive res-cue is the first,” he said. “You have to go through a lot train-ing and keep training. Water is unforgiving.”

AGRIBUSINESS

Spiny amaranth found near ContinentalBY JAMES HOORMAN

Putnam County Extension Ag [email protected]

A nasty noxious weed was discovered in Putnam County last week near Continental called Spiny amaranth.

It is a close relative of an even worse weed called Palmer amaranth.

Spiny amaranth, sometimes called spiny pigweed, is a troublesome weed of veg-etables, row crops and pastures. Its sharp spines, which deter grazing and interfere with manual weeding and harvest, have earned spiny amaranth designation as the world’s 15th worst agricultural weed (Holm et al., 1991).

Spiny amaranth is an erect, often bushy, branched summer annual, growing to heights of 2–5 feet. Stems and leaves are smooth and hairless, sometimes shiny in appearance. Each leaf node along the stem bears a pair of rigid, sharp spines ~0.5 inch long. Like other pigweeds, spiny amaranth develops a strong taproot with a network of fibrous feeder roots. The taproot may or may not be distinctly reddish in color.

Spiny amaranth thrives in loamy soils high in organic matter and nitrogen (N) and can produce up to 235,000 seeds per plant (Holm et al., 1991).

In cooler regions, spiny amaranth does not grow as rapidly as other pigweeds. The

seeds of spiny amaranth are very small (~0.03 inch diameter), which is smaller than the seeds of some other pigweeds (Uva et al., 1997).

Seeds may be carried by wind, water or animal manure. Cottonseed meal pur-chased from the South can be infested with Palmer and or Spiny Amaranth seed. Spiny amaranth is most likely to cause yield losses in shorter crops that cannot shade out the weed. Spiny amaranth is generally glyphosate-resistant but herbicides such as Dicamba (Banvel, Clarity), 2-4D, Liberty and ALS herbicides (Classic, Pursuit, Sceptor) have been found to be effective.

Spiny amaranth is bad but farmers who find even one Palmer amaranth weed in their farm fields need to pull up the this damaging weed immediately, said Dr. Mark Loux, Ohio State University’s Weed Specialist. Palmer amaranth, a glyphosate-resistant weed has already started show-ing up in Ohio fields. Because of its fast growth (3 inches per day), herbicide resis-tance and ability to destroy entire crops, Ohio growers are going to have to take a zero tolerance approach to prevent Palmer amaranth’s further spread across the state.

“We’ve already identified Palmer ama-ranth in multiple sites in Ohio, ranging from a few plants to one site that had multiple plants on several fields,” Loux said. “This weed has more potential to impact the profitability of our corn and

soybean production than any of our other resistance weed problems.”

At this point, Palmer amaranth has been found in southern Ohio, near Portsmouth and in Madison County, and in several northeast Ohio counties. If growers take aggressive action now, the weed’s spread statewide can be lessened. If it takes hold, Palmer amaranth could become even harder to control than the glyphosate-resistant weeds already in Ohio, Loux said. The weed has caused entire cotton and soybean fields to be mowed down in some Southern states.

An Arkansas cotton field study where 20,000 Palmer seeds were planted the first year infested 20 percent of the entire area in the second growing season, Loux said. By the third growing season, Palmer amaranth had completely colonized the fields, making cotton harvest impossible, he said.

“Prevention requires that not even a single plant be allowed to go to seed,” he said.

Palmer amaranth, which can grow 3 inches a day, can release nearly a half-million seeds per plant. And because

the weed is glyphosate-resistant, many growers in Southern states, in addition to spraying, have had to hire workers to go into their fields to chop down the weeds with hoes and pull them by hand, Loux said.

The best thing farmers can do is scout their fields before it produces seed and pull them out. Growers with fields that have been spread with manure from ani-mal operations using cottonseed products as a feed need to be particularly aware, as this manure may contain Palmer amaranth seed and/or Spiny Amaranth seed.

The potential financial impact for growers is a resistance weed problem with high yield losses because the weed couldn’t be controlled, Loux said, along with permanently higher weed manage-ment costs. Growers could find them-selves in a position of having to pay an additional $15 to $30 an acre to control Palmer amaranth, and in some cases even higher costs have been incurred, ranging from $20 to $40 per acre.

State veterinarian: 4 horses die of virus

COLUMBUS (AP) — The state veterinarian says four horses in northeast Ohio have died of eastern equine enceph-alitis, a mosquito-borne illness that also can affect humans.

Dr. Tony Forshey says the horses were from Ashtabula and Trumbull counties. He’s urging horse owners to contact their veterinarians to ensure that animals’ EEE vaccines and boosters are up to date.

The virus attacks an ani-mal’s central nervous system. Symptoms can include erratic behavior, loss of coordination and seizures. It can cause seri-ous illness in other animals as well as humans.

Ohio’s departments of agri-culture and health say they are monitoring the outbreak.

The state says there are no confirmed human cases asso-ciated with the illness in Ohio. Officials are encouraging resi-dents to protect themselves by using mosquito repellant and getting rid of standing water.

Agriculture fertilizer training course scheduled for FridayINFORMATION SUBMITTED

COLUMBUS — State Representative Tony Burkley (R-Payne) announced that the Ohio Department of Agriculture (ODA) and The Ohio State University (OSU) will hold a training course locally for the newly created Agricultural Fertilizer Applicator Certification Program. Meetings have already taken place in Hancock and Fulton counties.

Senate Bill 150, which was signed into law in May of this year, requires farmers with 50 or more acres to attend a course on fertilizer application.

“I encourage farmers in the 82nd House District to attend this informational and practical class on fertil-izer application,” Rep. Burkley said. “We have the opportunity to learn new and improved farming prac-tices in order to limit costs and protect the environment. By working together with experts, state officials and

fellow farmers, we can make changes that benefit Ohio and its future.”

The training class, which is in conjunction with OSU Extension, is scheduled from 8:30–11:30 a.m. Friday at the OSU Extension Office, 503 Fairgrounds Drive, Paulding, OH 45879.

Ban sought on children working on tobacco farmsWASHINGTON (AP) — Thirty-five

House Democrats are urging the Obama administration to prohibit children from working on tobacco farms, citing con-cerns about ill health effects.

The lawmakers, led by Reps. David Cicilline, D-R.I., and Matt Cartwright, D-Pa., made their plea in a letter to Labor Secretary Thomas Perez. A copy of the letter was obtained by The Associated Press on Tuesday.

In 2012, the Labor Department with-drew a proposed rule that would have banned children under 16 from sev-eral kinds of agriculture work, including tobacco farms. In their letter, the law-makers, all Democrats, urged a narrower

ban that would deal solely with children on tobacco farms.

The letter doesn’t specify an age limit, but a spokesman for Cicilline said he and other lawmakers would prefer the ban apply to children under 18. Cicilline has a bill in Congress that would amend the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 to ban kids under 18 from jobs where they have direct contact with tobacco plants or leaves.

The lawmakers cited a Human Rights Watch report issued in May which said nearly three-quarters of the children it interviewed reported vomiting, nausea and headaches while working on tobac-co farms. Those symptoms are consis-

tent with nicotine poisoning often called green tobacco sickness, which occurs when workers absorb nicotine through their skin while handling tobacco plants. The report was based on interviews with more than 140 children working on farms in North Carolina, Kentucky, Tennessee and Virginia, where a major-ity of the country’s tobacco is grown.

“Children working in tobacco are among the nation’s most vulnerable and we must do more to protect them,” wrote the lawmakers, who called the Human Rights Watch report “deeply troubling.”

The Labor Department declined comment.

Life’s hard lessons learned

By JIM METCALFEDHI Media Sports Editor

[email protected]

Life has a way of getting our attention, doesn’t it?I was going to write a whimsical column — musings,

get it? — but other things present themselves for further exploration.

I didn’t know Jacob E. Guy, the Ottoville High School student who lost his life Monday in an auto accident.

However, many others did and they have been in mourning ever since — and likely will be for some time to come.

The sports teams at Ottoville decided to not play their games/matches that day in honor of his passing.

When it all is said and done, a sports event and a life — especially of someone that is supposed to have their whole lives in front of them — don’t even come close to comparing as to their importance and that is one lesson those youngsters had to learn the hard way.

Think about it: some of us adults still haven’t learned that lesson in its entirety.

It isn’t always easy.I realize my job is dependent on 15-, 16-, 17- and

18-year-olds playing a game to the best of their abilities and hopefully playing it well.

A strength vs. a weakness in UC-OSU matchupBy RUSTY MILLER

Associated Press

COLUMBUS — It’s unlikely that anyone at Ohio State last winter had ever heard of Gunner Kiel.

Now the unique moniker of the Cincinnati quarterback is on every Buckeye’s lips.

“It’s one of those names,” linebacker Joshua Perry said. “It’s like (with a name like) Gunner, he’ll throw the ball around.”

Kiel and his pass-happy Bearcats (2-0) come to Ohio Stadium on Saturday night to provide a daunting challenge for 22nd-ranked Ohio State and a defense that has had troubles with throwing teams in the past and is hoping to prove it has found a solution.

It’ll be an interesting matchup. The Buckeyes (2-1) will try to get to Kiel before he can duplicate his incredible numbers from his debut three weeks ago. And Kiel will try to pick his spots against a young Ohio State secondary that has yet to be really tested.

After surrendering 38.33 points and 380 passing yards per game in the final three games a year ago, Ohio State replaced safeties coach and co-defensive coordinator Everett Withers, who took the head coaching job at James Madison, with Chris Ash, who completely rethought and rebuilt the defensive philosophy. The Buckeyes, supposedly, are more aggressive and less reactive on defense, although that hasn’t been apparent in the first three games.

Now it’s time to find out whether the new approach works.“This team is a real legitimate throwing team,” head coach

Urban Meyer said. “This will be a giant test for us.”

There are good reasons why everyone is talking about Kiel, a 6-4 sophomore out of Columbus, Indiana. He leads the Football Bowl Subdivision in points responsible for per game, 30 a contest. In his two career starts, he has completed 50-of-76 passes for 689 yards and 10 touchdowns, including a glittering 25-of-37 for 418 yards and a school-record tying six touchdowns in a 58-34 win over Toledo in his debut.

“He’s a guy who has a lot of confidence and looks through all his reads,” said Ohio State cornerback Doran Grant, who’ll

likely see a lot of Kiel’s passes on Saturday. “He’s a talented guy. He didn’t play much last year, so we’ll see what he’s got.”

Safety Tyvis Powell added, “For the secondary, this is big. Because this is the best quarterback with the best wide-receiver group we’re going to see all season. So this is the best time to show the fans that the pass defense has improved.”

Of course, the Buckeyes are well aware it’s not just the secondary that’s under the microscope. The line has to apply some pressure and the linebackers must do their part, too.

“We’ve got to make him feel uncomfortable,” said tackle Adolphus Washington, a Cincinnati native. “We’ve got to make him move around a little bit so he can’t just stand there and lock onto a target and get the ball down the field on us.”

Perry seconded that.“We’ve got to put some pressure on him,” he added. “We’ll

have to find some new ways to maybe get after him a little bit so they can’t throw the ball out to some of those receivers. Hopefully, the stadium will be a little loud and get in his head.”

Bengals kickers divided on UC/OSU gameBy JOE KAY

Associated Press

CINCINNATI — The Bengals’ kickers have divided loyalties heading into their bye weekend. One thing is known: Either punter Kevin Huber or kicker Mike Nugent is about to have an embar-rassing photo posted the next time they get together.

Huber went to the University of Cincinnati. Nugent was the kicker on Ohio State’s national champion-ship team in 2002. There’s no way that they were going to take the high road with their schools playing on Saturday in Columbus.

One of them is going to end up looking bad. Publicly.

“Whoever loses, there’s going to be something on Twitter,” Nugent said. “That’s all I can say at this point. I’ve got to leave some build-up for you guys.

“We have a good Twitter bet going. We didn’t want to do anything money-wise, we want it to be more pride and maybe have to do something to sup-port the other team if you lose.”

The game will be front-and-center this weekend with the Bengals (3-0) on their bye week. Nugent will be at a friend’s wedding and won’t get to see the game but plans to keep up on it through text updates from friends.

Their bet will be settled when they get

back together Monday in Cincinnati and begin preparation for a Sunday night game in New England.

It’ll be only the fifth time since 1931 that Ohio State (2-1) and Cincinnati (2-0)

have played in football but it’s a game that has a lot riding on it. The Buckeyes haven’t lost to an in-state school since a 7-6 defeat against Oberlin in 1921. They’ve gone 44 games without such a loss.

Cincinnati came the closest to ending the streak. Playing at the Bengals’ Paul Brown Stadium in 2002, the Bearcats dropped two passes in the end zone during the closing minutes, allowing Ohio State to hold on for a 23-19 win.

Ohio State went on to win the national championship.

“Oh my gosh, I think it came down to the last play five or six games that season,” Nugent said. “One of those things that we could lose it here or we could win it here and move on. That was at the point in college where if you lose one game, your chances of going to the national championship are pretty slim.”

Paul Brown Stadium was a grass field back then, in only its

third season. There were so many problems with the grass — it pulled

loose from a sandy base very easily — that it was eventually replaced with artificial turf.

Haden looks to rebound after slow startBEREA (AP) — For

the first time in his career, Browns Pro Bowl cornerback Joe Haden is facing questions about his play on the field.

“I’m one of my biggest critics and I know that I haven’t been playing up to my ability,” Haden said. “I’m down, I feel like I could play better. I know I could play better.”

The latest example: In Cleveland’s 23-21 loss on Sunday to the Ravens, Haden allowed a 32-yard catch by veteran wide receiver Steve Smith late in the fourth quar-ter, setting up Baltimore’s game-winning field goal.

“It was unfortunate that it happened because we’re in a bottom-line business,” Browns coach Mike Pettine said. “Joe, for the most part throughout the game, played very well.”

“That’s life in the NFL.”And cornerback is one of

the most bottom-line posi-tions in the sport.

Either you make the right play or you make a wide receiver look great.

“Being in man-to-man press, you’ve got to be ready for the ball to come at you at all times,” Haden said. “You can play linebacker and miss a gap a little bit. You can play D-tackle and get moved out of your gap. You’re at corner, every single play matters.”

And when you’re considered one of the best corners in the league, any mis-takes you make are amplified.

But Haden has already faced some of the top receiv-ers this season.

In addition to Smith’s 101-yard day last week, the Steelers’ Antonio Brown had 116 yards and a score against the Browns in Week 1. And Saints tight end Jimmy Graham scored on Haden in

Week 2.If Haden, in his fifth sea-

son, is going to remain one of the best corners in the league, he’ll have to play his best in the key moments of games.

“He’s played well at times but as you can see, at some inoppor-tune times he’s not played well,” Pettine said. “I think he’ll admit that as well. That’s what we talk about. The great ones are going to make big plays when it’s needed and I think that’s

one area where Joe will look to improve.”

Haden echoes his coach’s sentiment,and trusts things will turn around.

“I want to be great,” he added. “I just need to keep working hard and those plays are going to come. It’s noth-ing mysterious that I need to do differently.”

Americans get perspective from Wounded WarriorsAssociated Press

GLENEAGLES, Scotland — The American team got a dose of perspec-tive even before the Ryder Cup began.

Captain Tom Watson invited two “Wounded Warriors” to speak to his team Tuesday night, which he referred to as a time filled with inspiration and a reminder that no matter how great the pressure will be at Gleneagles, it’s still just golf.

“The players, they went up to them and asked questions. They thanked them,” Watson said. “But it was a very sobering experience. In this cauldron of pressure, it’s great to have that. We make it a big deal but it’s not that big a deal. It is the Ryder Cup. It is the event of golf. Yeah, there’s pressure there. But you look in perspective of what those men did … they work for a living.

“There are people out there doing work that very few other people will do in the world.”

One of them was Noah Galloway of Birmingham, Alabama, who was on the front line of ground troops in 2003 in Iraq. Galloway lost his left arm above the elbow and left leg above the knee from an IED attack in Iraq in 2005. Unconscious for five days, he woke up

on Christmas Eve to find out he had lost two of his limbs. Galloway rehabili-tated and took part in the Marine Corps Marathon two years ago.

The other was Josh Olson of Spokane, Washington, who lost his right leg in an ambush in 2003 in Iraq. Two years later, he joined the Army Marksmanship Unit as an international rifle shooter and instructor and has earned numerous shooting accomplishments. In 2012, Olson became the first active-duty service member wounded in combat to compete in the Paralympics. He com-peted in two rifle events.

“Josh and Noah gave two of the best speeches that we’ve had,” Phil Mickelson said. “We’re playing a game and we are trying to overcome challenges to succeed in a game. These two gentlemen have overcome some of the greatest chal-lenges that any individual could deal with in life. They’re dealing with loss of limbs, they’re dealing with near-death experiences, they’re dealing with life challenges, and they’re overcoming those challenges. So we, as players, found this to be very inspirational.

“It makes the challenge of overcom-ing an incredibly strong European Team

seem not as great a challenge.”SENIOR PLAYER: European cap-

tain Paul McGinley referred to Sergio Garcia as a “senior player.”

He was talking about the Ryder Cup. Garcia is only 34.

But the Spaniard is play-ing in his seventh Ryder Cup, having made his debut as a 19-year-old at Brookline. McGinley still remembers how exuberant Garcia was in 2002.

“He played 36 holes and he’d come back, and there was one TV in the team room down in the corner,” McGinley recalled. “He would get his food, he’d go down and he’d sit with his food on his lap and he’d watch the highlights. And every time he would come on, he’d stand up and he’d tell everybody to watch the TV. ‘Watch this shot I’m about to play, watch this, watch this, what I did, watch the American, watch what he did after I did this.

“That innocence is something that will always remain with me and that’s something that I feel such a connection with Sergio, because he was so raw back then. He still has that exuberance, not to the same level, but he still has that exu-berance, which I really like about him.”

Tony Stewart will not face charges in deadly crashBy JENNA FRYER and

CAROLYN THOMPSONAssociated Press

CANANDAIGUA, N.Y. — After more than six weeks in limbo, NASCAR star Tony Stewart finally got the news he had been hoping for.

A grand jury that heard testimony from more than two dozen witness-es, including accident reconstruction experts and drivers, and looked at photo-graphs and video decided against bring-ing criminal charges against Stewart for the death of 20-year-old sprint car driver Kevin Ward Jr. during an Aug. 9 race.

That doesn’t mean it’s over.A few hours after Ontario County

District Attorney Michael Tantillo announced the grand jury’s decision in this upstate New York hamlet, the Ward family indicated in a statement read over the telephone by sister Kayla Herring that they will seek civil damages in the young driver’s death.

“Our son got out of his car during caution when the race was suspend-ed. All the other vehicles were reduc-ing speed and not accelerating except for Stewart, who intentionally tried to intimidate Kevin by accelerating and sliding his car toward him, causing the

tragedy,” the family added Wednesday. “The focus should be on the actions of Mr. Stewart. This matter is not at rest and we will pursue all remedies in fair-ness to Kevin.”

The family might have a dif-ficult task: Tantillo disclosed that Ward was under the influ-ence of marijuana the night he died and said two different videos were enhanced, frames were isolated and viewed at at least three different speeds and finally overlaid with grids and data. Both showed Stewart had done nothing wrong.

“The videos did not dem-onstrate any aberrational driv-ing by Tony Stewart until the point of impact with Kevin Ward, at which point his vehicle veered to the right up the track as a result of the colli-sion. Prior to that, his course was pretty straight,” said Tantillo. “Toxicology evi-dence from Ward’s autopsy indicates that at the time of operation he was under the influence of marijuana. The levels determined were enough to impair judgment.”

Stewart’s reaction was not one of cel-ebration and his statement had the same twinge of sadness that he’s carried since

he returned to NASCAR three weeks ago following three weeks of seclusion after Ward’s death.

The 43-year-old NASCAR superstar acknowledged the investiga-tion was “long and emotionally difficult” but noted it allowed time for all the facts to be pre-sented.

“This has been the toughest and most emotional experience of my life and it will stay with me forever. I’m very grateful for all the support I’ve received and continue to receive,” he added. “While much of the attention has been on me, it’s important to remember a

young man lost his life. Kevin Ward Jr.’s family and friends will always be in my thoughts and prayers.”

David Weinstein, a former state and federal prosecutor in Miami who is not involved in the case, said the toxicology evidence will make it difficult for the Wards to win a lawsuit against Stewart, noting the Ward statement showed the family was “clearly upset and at a vul-nerable point.”

“Hopefully, someone will explain to them that Kevin will be dragged through the mud during a civil trial,” he added.

There are the other three: Brandon J. Kimmet, Matthew S. Niemeyer and Christopher J. Mohr; that were in the same vehicle as Mr. Guy.

Their pain is also unique and I can only imagine that par-ticular suffering.

Rest in Peace, Jacob.————These further thoughts aren’t quite the same as the

above but they are about endings.The Hall-of-Fame career of Yankee shortstop Derek Jeter

is nearing its end.The iconic pro will play — weather permitting — his

final game at Yankee Stadium tonight against the Baltimore Orioles.

I am no Yankee fan but I don’t dislike them as I used to.It’s always sad to see a Boy of Summer – or an NFL/NBA

star — decide to leave the field of play permanently.Even his most ardent critics — and Yankee haters — have

to acknowledge that, love him or hate him, he was one of the best shortstops to ever play the game.

His 3,461 hits definitely puts him up there and he was pretty solid defensively.

Will I say he was THE greatest? No.As I have written before, the game has changed so much

over the years — the Dead-ball Era; the great pitchers of the 1950s, 60s and 70s; the Steroids Era; and now the Post(hopefully)-Steroids Era — that it really is hard to quan-tify things.

However, he is a future first-ballot HOFer and anyone that doesn’t vote for him just so there is no unanimous pick should no longer be allowed to vote.

He — and all the other lesser lights that will hang them up after Sunday or the playoffs — will be missed, whether we like it or not.

Musings

Indians keep playoff pulse going, beat Royals 6-4By TOM WITHERS

Associated Press

CLEVELAND — Yan Gomes hit a 3-run homer, Michael Brantley got three more hits and the Cleveland Indians stayed in the AL wild-card chase for at least one more day with a 6-4 win over the Kansas City Royals on Wednesday night.

A loss would have eliminated the Indians but after blowing a 3-0 lead, they rallied and moved within 3½ games of Kansas City and Oakland in the wild-card standings. There are four days left in the regular season.

The Royals, who haven’t made the playoffs since 1985, fell two games behind first-place Detroit in the AL Central.

Zach McAllister (4-7) pitched 2

1/3 scoreless innings and Cody Allen worked the ninth for his 23rd save.

Brantley has hit safely in 15 straight games and needs one more hit to be the first Indians player with 200 in a season since Kenny Lofton in 1996.

The Indians took the lead in the fifth off rookie Brandon Finnegan (0-1) on Carlos Santana’s RBI groundout. Cleveland added a run in the sixth on pinch-hitter David Murphy’s sacrifice fly.

Cleveland entered the unusual series — the teams completed a suspended game on Monday — 3½ games behind the Royals and the Indians ended in the same place. Unfortunately for them, they wasted a chance to pull closer and now have to win their final three games and hope for help from other teams to play in the postseason.

Billy Butler had three RBIs for Kansas City, which can lock up one of the two wild cards by winning one of four games in Chicago against the White Sox starting today.

Their flimsy playoff hopes fad-ing, the Indians scored twice in the fifth to take a 5-4 lead.

Jason Vargas hit Michael Bourn with a pitch to open the inning and Royals manager Ned Yost pulled the left-hander, who has just one win in

his last seven starts.Jose Ramirez doubled off the wall

and the speedy Bourn, waved around by third-base coach Mike Sarbaugh, scored the tying run on a headfirst dive into the plate, reaching in with his left hand to avoid catcher Salvador Perez’s tag. Ramirez moved up on a fielder’s choice and scored on Santana’s grounder.

Lohse throws 2-hitter, Brewers beat Reds 5-0By JOE KAY

Associated Press

CINCINNATI — Kyle Lohse made the most of another wasteful day for Milwaukee’s offense, throwing a 2-hitter and driving in a run on Wednesday night for a 5-0 victory that forestalled elimination from the playoffs a bit longer.

Milwaukee will be eliminated from the wild card race with a loss or a win by San Francisco, which played later Wednesday at Los Angeles. Pittsburgh clinched at least the other wild card spot on Tuesday night.

The Brewers led the NL Central for 150 days but fell apart at the end. Since June 28th, they’ve gone 30-45. The offense has unraveled, scoring two or fewer runs in each of the previous six games.

Lohse (13-9) gave up a pair of singles by Jack Hannahan in his second shutout of the season. Lohse was 2-1 in five starts against the Reds this season with a 2.13 ERA. He also had a sacrifice fly during Milwaukee’s 3-run eighth inning, which was highlighted by Jean Segura’s 2-run double.

Rickie Weeks had a pair of singles and drove in a run and Carlos Gomez had an RBI double off Daniel Corcino (0-2),

who made his third start in the majors.The Brewers got a run in the fourth but even that came with

a misplay. Aramis Ramirez doubled, advanced on a groundout and scored on Weeks’ single. Weeks was thrown out by more than 10 feet as he tried to stretch it to a double.

Gomez doubled home a run in the fifth, when the Brewers left the bases loaded. The Brewers loaded the bases again in the seventh with two outs but Ramirez grounded out, keeping it 2-0.

Billy Hamilton made the game’s best play. He stretched above the fence in center to steal a home run away from Ryan Braun in the third inning, slamming the right side of his head hard against the fence. He held the side of his head as he left the field and came

out of the game in the fifth with a mild concussion.TRAINER’S ROOM: Reds: Right-handed starter Mat

Latos is slowly recovering from a bruised right elbow that has sidelined him since Sept. 12. “He’s been able to throw but not completely pain-free,” manager Bryan Price said.

ON DECKBrewers: Milwaukee plays its final road game today.

Yovani Gallardo (8-10) is 0-4 in his last six starts.

Dear AbbyIllusion of perfect marriage isshattered by man’s discovery

DEAR ABBY: I always thought that “Lana,” my wife of 14 years, and I had the perfect marriage. When I discovered she was having an affair, it hit me like a train wreck. After many weeks of trying to discover who she really is, I found out she has had several affairs throughout our marriage.

I still love my wife and feel I could forgive her and regain my trust in her. The problem is, she says she is trying to recover from her actions, so she can no longer hear about my problems or respond to any of my questions.

Lana is now saying I need to see someone to discuss our issues with. We are already seeing a marriage counselor, but I suspect he is too connected to us as a couple. What do you think? -- LOST IN LIMBO

DEAR IN LIMBO: I think the marriage counselor should have made clear to you and your wife that in order for trust to be rebuilt it takes LOTS of dialogue and listening on the part of both spouses. And painful as it may be for Lana, she owes you the answers to your questions.

That said, I think she is correct in suggesting you talk to someone individually. With the help of a licensed psychotherapist -- someone who is there JUST FOR YOU -- you may be able to rationally decide whether your wife is capable of being the person you assumed she was, and if staying married to her is the best thing for you.

DEAR ABBY: My mother died a few years ago after a prolonged illness. My father has found a new lady (“Colette”) to share his life, and they are now engaged.

My problem is my sisters. We are all adults with families of our own. They don’t like Colette at all. They are rude to her and behave like spoiled children. Colette is very different from Mom, but

our family has always been open-minded and taken pride in our conviction that “normal” is just a setting on the dryer.

Colette isn’t after Dad’s money, nor is she forcing her way into our lives. She’s also not trying to replace Mom. It appears she genuinely cares for our dad, which I can understand. He’s a good man, smart, attractive and fun to be with.

Dad is happy as a clam. He’s enjoying life and has lots more life to live. The only thing that mars his happiness is my sisters’ attitudes. What can I do to help them? I don’t want to be too harsh because I know they are still grieving, but I hate to see them drive a wedge into what remains of our family. -- JOY IN TEXAS

DEAR JOY: Please accept my sympathy for the loss of your mother. Perhaps you should remind your sisters how grateful they should be that your father has been able to find happiness after losing your mother. Not all widowers are able to do that. Stress that his desire to remarry is a tribute to the relationship he had with your mother, because men who had unfulfilling marriages usually don’t want to commit again.

Point out that they have nothing to gain by alienating Colette and a lot to lose, because the more they treat her with disrespect, the farther away they will drive her -- and your dad. Then suggest that if they can’t resolve their grief, they join a support group or consult a therapist for help.

Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

DEAR DOCTOR K: You’ve written about “superfoods” that deliver a lot of nutritional bang for their buck. Do you have a list of superfoods for heart health?

DEAR READER: Many foods -- from the everyday to the exotic -- are rich in nutrients that help keep heart disease at bay. That’s good news, and it’s been documented in many scientific studies.

My colleagues in nutrition science at the Harvard School of Public Health and Harvard Medical School have published the following list of heart-healthy superfoods. They and I use the word “superfoods” advisedly. Obviously, no food offers anything like perfect protection against any illness. But many foods, when they are regularly consumed as part of your diet, improve your odds of escaping heart disease.

Since heart disease is the No. 1 cause of premature death, I’d call foods that reduce that risk “super.” I might even call them “super-duper.” Here’s a list:

-- OATMEAL. Oats help lower cholesterol. They also keep blood sugar steady, reducing the risk of obesity and diabetes, both linked to heart disease.

-- ORANGES are rich in cholesterol-reducing soluble fiber; in potassium, which helps control blood pressure; and in vitamin C.

-- BEANS provide hearty doses of protein, fiber and minerals. They can help lower cholesterol and blood pressure, and keep your blood sugar from spiking.

-- SPINACH AND KALE. These dark, leafy greens are packed with vitamins, minerals and fiber, and contain omega-3 fatty acids. They deliver a lot of nutrients without a lot of calories.

-- AVOCADOS are a rich source of heart-healthy monounsa tu r a t ed fat. They contain substantial amounts of fiber, potassium, several vitamins and compounds that help lower cholesterol.

-- EXTRA-VIRGIN OLIVE

OIL is rich in LDL cholesterol-lowering monounsaturated fat. It discourages blood from clotting and helps steady blood sugar levels.

-- NUTS are an excellent source of fiber, healthy fats, vitamins, minerals and phytochemicals, all known to protect heart health. Nuts lower harmful LDL cholesterol, raise protective HDL cholesterol and lower blood pressure.

-- SALMON. Fatty fish such as salmon are a great source of omega-3 fatty acids. People who eat more fish have a lower risk of dying from heart disease.

-- BERRIES are packed full of substances that help block plaque from forming inside arteries.

-- QUINOA (KEEN-wah) is an excellent plant-based source of protein. It also contains plenty of fiber, vitamins and minerals.

-- DARK CHOCOLATE (70 percent cocoa or higher) is rich in flavonols, which may help lower blood pressure.

I first began hearing about healthy eating from my kindergarten teacher. I wondered how she knew what foods improved your health. In fact, at that time nutrition science was in its infancy. Today, studies of the eating habits of millions of people, and of their subsequent health, have given us information we can confidently use to protect our hearts.

The Delphos Herald eEdition

THURSDAY, SEPT. 25, 2014 This year will be a dynamic one if you are prepared to take on new challenges. Your talents will go to waste if you are too casual in presenting what you have to offer. Strive to get ahead by honing your skills and mastering the arts of promotion and networking.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- You have the ability to influence others to do things your way. Once you have determined what you need, initiate a discussion with people in a position to help you out.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- You will waste time if you are bouncing back and forth between different tasks. Formulate a concrete plan and cross off each step as you move along. Organization will lead to success.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- An unusual pathway will reveal itself via a new acquaintance. You will reap the benefits from something you’ve been working on for a long time. Minor health issues will cause a setback.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- There will be tension in your personal relationships. Rather than try to influence those around you, let them do their own thing. Occupy yourself with a personal project instead.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- A partnership with someone you admire will produce lucrative results. Be ready to act when the opportunity arises. Engage in projects that you can do with someone you love. Romance looks promising.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Practical matters will keep you busy. Save yourself some anguish by clearing up health or legal issues as soon as they crop up. A renovation venture will bring favorable results.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- If you feel something needs to be said, speak up. Your frankness may catch a colleague off-guard, but most people will admire your honesty.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Be optimistic, and leave the past behind. Focus on the positive people and activities in your life, and reject negative thoughts and people who bring you down.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Take a pleasure trip. Unfamiliar surroundings will spark your creative imagination and influence your way of thinking. A novel direction appears to be possible. Embrace new beginnings.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Don’t rush into a delicate situation. Remain in control and try to find an arrangement that will be agreeable and fair to everyone concerned. Your candor will be appreciated.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You’ll be distressed about business deals, financial issues or health matters. Don’t confide in a close friend when going to an experienced source for advice is what’s required.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- If you investigate an interesting career possibility, you could find a way to instigate some forward motion. It’s up to you to make things happen.
