Crash kills Fort Loramie man FORT LORAMIE — One person was killed and another injured on Saturday evening in a two-vehicle head-on collision.

Kenneth Fleckenstein, 56, 9982 Barhorst Road, Fort Loramie, was pronounced dead at the scene by the Shelby

County Coroner’s Office.

The accident occurred on the 5000 block of Cardo Road at 5:50 p.m. Fleckenstein was driving a 1985 Ford F-150 and was traveling eastbound on Cardo Road. He lost control of the vehicle and crossed the center line into the path of a

westbound 2000 Ford F-250.

Fleckenstein’s vehicle rolled over one time and rested on its passenger side.

Fleckenstein’s body was transported to the Montgomery County Coroner’s Office.

The other driver received

minor injuries and was treated at the scene by Fort Loramie Rescue.

Members of the Ohio State Highway Patrol and Fort Loramie Fire also assisted at the scene. The accident remains under investigation by the Shelby County Sheriff’s Office.

Langenkamp wins 2011 SDN cook-off

BY PATRICIA ANN SPEELMAN pspeelman@sdnccg.com

HARDIN — When it comes to championship cooking, Marci Langenkamp, of Russia, can no longer use the metaphor, “Always a bridesmaid, never a bride.” After winning in her category in two previous editions of the Sidney Daily News annual cook-off, Langenkamp at last earned top honors — and

$350 in prize money — Saturday, during the 27th contest, for her pecan pie pumpkin shells.

The event, at the Crossroads in Hardin, celebrated 27 cooks whose recipes had been chosen as semi-finalists in nine categories.

Langenkamp’s won the Holiday Traditions category on its way to the grand prize.

Judges Vicki Kipker, work and family life teacher in Jackson Center for Upper Val-

ley Career Center; Michael Anthony Delligatta, executive chef at Midmark Corp.; and Gwen Rose, chef at The Backyard Bistro in Piqua, cited the originality of the recipe, its beautiful presentation and its exceptional sweetness. Lagenkamp’s recipe calls for a variation of pecan pie filling to be served in a baked, whole, mini pumpkin.

“Our decision was unanimous,” Kipker said.

As in the past, this year’s event will give all children throughout the county a day to dress as their favorite characters, trick-or-treat around the courtsquare and enjoy many free activities at Amos Memorial Library.

Sponsored by the Downtown Sidney Business Association, Amos Memorial Library and the Sidney-Shelby County Chamber of Commerce, Kids Fall Festival will be held from 10 a.m. until 1 p.m. in downtown Sidney.

There will be a costume-judging contest for ages 0 to 12 years beginning at 1 a.m. on the north side of the courtsquare. Trick-or-treating begins at 11 a.m. at participating downtown businesses; kids should look for the orange pumpkin in the window. Costumes are required for trick-or-treating.

From 11 a.m. until 1 p.m., children can enjoy activities such as pumpkin decorating, games and refreshments at the Amos Memorial Library.

Prizes for the costume contest are donated by area restaurants and businesses and The Spot Restaurant annually provides the pumpkin pies as part of the treats enjoyed at the library.

CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS

Did You Know?

Born in 1451 - Died in 1506

• Christopher Columbus never set foot on mainland North America. The closest he got was one of the islands in the present day Bahamas.

Christopher Columbus was born in Genoa (JEN oh uh), Italy. He was the oldest of five children in his family.

His father was a wool weaver. He helped his father with the weaving, but he always wanted to sail the seas.

He didn’t get to go to school very much, but he learned to read and write Spanish during his travels.

He also taught himself Latin because all the geography books were written in Latin.

Some people thought he was trying to prove the world was round, but this is not true. Most people already knew the earth was round. He wanted to find a short way to get to the

Indies by ship.

He was a Christian and wanted to tell the story of Christ to the people he would find in the far away lands. He also wanted wealth for himself and for Spain, and he wanted to be famous.

He tried for eight years to get King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella to supply him with ships and money.

Finally they agreed, but he made more demands.

He wanted to be made a knight,* admiral * of the Ocean Sea. He wanted to be the viceroy * and governor * general * of all lands he would discover. Also he wanted one-tenth of everything he found of value in the new lands.

He even boldly told them he wanted all of this in writing. This was rather brave of him because they could have had him killed because of his demands.

They finally agreed and he got three ships ready to

First voyage

• Columbus did not have any women on his first two voyages. In 1498, Columbus recruited one woman for every 10 men on his third voyage.

• Neither Columbus nor the Vikings discovered the “New World” as it was settled by people centuries before them. The best claim that can be made is they “encountered” a world which was in his 20s. sail — the Santa Maria and two smaller ships, the Pinta and the Nina. He took enough food for a year. In four months he was ready to sail.

They left Spain on Aug. 3, 1492. They made one stop, then sailed on toward the west. After many days, the sailors were ready to turn around and start back home.

“Just three more days,” he said. “Then if we don’t

see land, we’ll turn around and go back home.”

Two days later they saw land; an island Columbus named San Salvador. He thought he had found the Indies and called the people he saw there “Indians.”

When they got to Cuba, he thought he was in China.

The world was a lot larger than he thought.

On Christmas Eve, the Santa Maria was wrecked near Haiti. Columbus built a fort and left 40 men to hunt for gold. Then he returned to Spain on the Nina. The Pinta also returned. The people of Spain welcomed him as a hero.

He made three more voyages across the ocean.

His 13-year-old son, Ferdinand went with him on the fourth voyage.

Columbus did not become rich as he had hoped. At the end of his life he only had a pension the king and queen had given him because he was the first to reach the New World.

He spent the last few months of his life in bed because of the pain of arthritis.

Columbus not only discovered a New World, but he led the way for other explorers.

• Columbus’ first voyage included mostly seasoned sailors but the Spanish Crown did grant amnesty to criminals in case Columbus had trouble recruiting a crew. Four such men were members of his crew.

• Columbus consulted an almanac and used the knowledge of a pending total lunar eclipse to convince natives in Cuba that he had supernatural powers.

• Ramone Pane, a monk who accompanied Christopher Columbus on his second voyage in 1493, is credited with introducing tobacco to Europe.

• Columbus calculated the earth’s circumference to be nearly 16,000 miles (it’s slightly over 25,000 miles around). He estimated the distance between Europe and Japan to be around 2,300 miles instead of the 12,000 it really is.

• Despite popular belief, a 55 year-old Columbus didn’t die a pauper in 1506, but a relatively rich man.

Columbus Day always falls on the 2nd Monday in October Nearly everyone knows that "Columbus sailed the ocean blue in fourteen hundred ninety two (1492)."

The question is — Was Columbus smart about safety?

Can you imagine what it would be like to live on a crowded school bus for eight long months? Columbus and his men had a little more room than that, but not much. It was an amazing adventure.

He built sturdy ships. It is a matter of record that Columbus carefully planned the construction of his three ships —

the Santa Maria, the Pinta, and the Nina. He even ordered "crooked pines" from the Pyrenees to be dragged down to the sea to be used to make the frames, beams, and decks, for extra sturdiness. He had no idea what dangers he would face, but he was sure that one of them might be storms at sea.

He protected his maps and charts.

Columbus had a small cabin built on the Santa Maria that held his bed, a few personal belongings, and his maps and charts. It was the only cabin on board.

He built space below the deck to store ample supplies. The hold — the

wall beside the steps.

Unfurling his map, Hector excitedly showed them places where they would stop to eat and rest. A big X marked the spot of the treasure, located in the nearby town of Gallinas.

“OK – which way, then?”

Felix asked anxiously.

“My cousins live in Gallinas and we always drive down Highway 54 to visit them,” Karol suggested.

“That’s the long way!”

Hector interrupted. “Let’s just go down Main Street to where it meets the county road. The county road is a straight shot to Gallinas and we’ll save hours of time!”

Both Hector and Karol looked over at Felix to make the decision.

“Saving time does sound good,” Felix considered, not completely sure he should listen to Hector. The three explorers began walking through town, passing the few shops that lined Main Street. When they reached the intersection of Main Street and the county road, they all hesitated.

“Here we are – the point of no return.” Felix said softly.

“Quit being such a baby,” Hector said, giving Felix a shove.

Felix lunged forward onto the county road. He felt a surge of excitement as he imagined himself traveling through the untamed wilderness that Coronado had explored. Karol and Hector immediately joined him on the rough, unpaved road.

The Brass Bell Written by Cathy Sewell and illustrated by Blaise Sewell of The Curriculum Closet Chapter Two: The Expedition Begins “Francisco Vásquez de Coronado was a Spanish conquistador who explored the southwestern United States [in] 1540-1542, in search of the Seven Cities of Gold. He had with him hundreds of Spaniards, natives, monks and slaves.”

– Coronado and the Golden Cities The next morning, Felix jumped out of bed and quickly got dressed.

“I’m going over to Hector’s house for the day,” he told Grandma. “I might just stay the night, too,” he added, with his mouth full of cinnamon churros.

“All right, Felix, but be careful,” Grandma said. Felix wondered if she had noticed his overstuffed backpack sitting by the door. “Here are a few snacks … just in case,” she said with a wink. Yes, she was definitely on to him!

He walked out the door, searching through his goodie bag. There were several sandwiches, fruit snacks and Felix’s favorite: licorice.

Karol was waiting on the steps of the school with an equally full backpack. “Hey Felix, are you ready?”

“Hey, you two!” Hector startled them both as he jumped onto the concrete

space below deck — was used to store food, tools, ropes, extra sails, cannon balls, guns, and other supplies Columbus felt they might need on the trip.

He ordered the crew to catch fresh fish every day, to avoid illness. The crew caught fresh fish every day they could.

Along with fish, they ate salt meat, cheese, beans, rice, almonds, honey and raisins.

He told his men that they could not drink the ocean water. Instead, Columbus and his crew drank water from wooden barrels they had brought on board, and wine from big casks.

After several quiet miles, Karol finally broke the silence. “I brought beef jerky and some trail mix with chocolate pieces!”

“I have peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, licorice and fruit snacks,” Felix said proudly. But anyone who knew Felix would have guessed there would be licorice in his bag, because of his long obsession with the twisted treat.

“And I brought a frozen pizza!” Hector reached in his bag to show the partially thawed box.

“Exactly where do you plan on finding an oven out here, Hector?” Felix laughed.

“Laugh now, Felix, but you’ll be asking me for a slice soon enough!” Hector said, putting his soggy snack away as they continued walking.

Suddenly, the dirt road ended: no stop sign, no turn, no intersection. The three stood at the edge of rocks, sand and grass.

“Oh, great – now we’re lost!” Karol tried to sound more angry than scared.

“Hey, no worries!” Hector said, pointing west. “If we just head across here, we’ll eventually run into Highway 54.”

“Fine, let’s go,” Felix mumbled, walking across the rocky surface. “It’s starting to get hot out here.”

“Let’s aim for those big rocks and take a lunch break

there,” Hector suggested.

“Some of those rocks look a little dangerous,” Karol started to say, but she only got out part of her sentence before Felix slipped.

“Hey, you OK?” Hector stumbled over to Felix, who was now flat on his back.

“Yeah, I’m fine,” Felix winced. But he wasn’t fine.

His ankle hurt and immediately began to swell.

“Wh … what’s that?”

Hector started to sway back and forth.

“Sit down, Hector, before you faint.” Karol ordered.

“I’ve got a bandage in my first-aid kit. Let me wrap that up for you, Felix.”

“Thanks, Karol. I think we should go ahead and eat lunch right here,” Felix said, sharing his rations with his friends.

After they inhaled lunch, Hector was ready to get going. They picked up their trash and prepared to continue their hike.

“Should we take a siesta?”

Karol asked.

“Nope, explorers must push through the pain, vámanos!” Felix stood up to show he was strong enough to walk.

He ordered his men to cook their meals. All meals were cooked in small fireplaces on deck called sandbox cookers, to reduce the risk of illness.

Sandbox cookers were designed to allow cooking on deck safely, without catching the wood ship on fire.

He had at least one man on watch at all times. At least one member of the crew was always on watch, on the lookout for any danger including pirates, men overboard, reefs, and land. The man on watch was tucked high up on the 80-foot mainsail, in the "crow's nest."

Everyone arrived safely! Once he set sail, it took Columbus only two months to catch his first sight of the New World. Still, that was a very long time for 90 men to live in a space about the size of a school bus.Yet, there is no record of any outbreak of disease. No one fell overboard.

When they spotted land, they did not rush in. They must have been glad to spot land for many reasons! Still, they did not land right away. Columbus and his crew sailed along the shoreline.

They stopped at a couple of places and established some base camps. They met the natives — some friendly, some not.

His careful planning and sturdy ships saved their lives. When Columbus and his men decided to leave the New World and return to Spain, they ran into a little trouble. By then, they were down to only two ships, which made things even more crowded. A storm had wrecked the Santa Maria on Christmas Day that year. (Columbus returned to Spain on the smaller ship, the Nina.)

They ran into another storm as they were returning to Spain. They were tossed about by waves higher than a sixty foot building! The Nina and the Pinta were separated in the storm. Yet, both ships safely found their way home.

The round trip, including their adventures in the New World, took eight months. Columbus was paid well for his trip.

Columbus was highly respected and, thanks to his adventures, he was also quite wealthy. He was happily married. He had a couple of kids. He was incredibly stubborn. To the day he died, he never once admitted that he had found a New World. He insisted that he had, in fact, discovered the back door to China.

City pins hopes on new policy

Pumpkins in demand but prices may not jump CLEVELAND (AP) — Pumpkins are plentiful in Ohio this fall and the healthy crop is finding a receptive market, not only within Ohio but also in neighboring states where crops were devastated by Hurricane Irene and other foul weather, growers say.

But the higher demand does not necessarily mean steeper pumpkin prices for consumers.

“We raised our prices a little this year but we hadn’t increased the price for about four years,” said pumpkin wholesaler Meade Huck, co-owner of Huck’s Produce Farm in Marietta.

“In this economy we don’t want to raise the prices too much,” Huck noted to The Marietta Times.

However, a pumpkin farmer in northwest Ohio’s Fulton County said he has been able to boost his prices by about 10 percent because the wholesale market is hungry for the gourds.

“I’m getting a lot of demand for my pumpkins,” grower Doug Keil told The Blade of Toledo.

“I’ve been getting a lot of phone calls lately.”

Hurricane Irene hammered the Northeast in late August, dumping large amounts of rain that pushed rivers out of their banks and flooded fields along the East Coast and into southern Canada.

Pumpkin patches were ruined in places such as western New York, eastern Pennsylvania and parts of New Jersey. Some Ohio growers are shipping product to areas that now find themselves with pumpkin shortages.

Even as wholesale prices come under pressure, Ohio consumers may not be forced to fork over much more for their pumpkins, said Lisa Schacht, president of the Ohio Produce Growers and Marketers Association. Merchants may not pass along any addi-

tional cost because they like to have pumpkins on hand at this time of year to lure shoppers.

“Without pumpkins, they may not get as much activity in their stores,” Schacht told The Plain Dealer of Cleveland, adding that consumers may have to pay a little extra but are not likely to see skyrocketing prices.

At the Cleveland area Heinen’s supermarket chain, produce buyer Terry Romp said customers are not paying more than last year, despite slightly higher prices being charged by suppliers.

Heinen’s stores are selling the gourds for between 29 cents and 49 cents per pound, depending on the size. Smaller, pie pumpkins cost more than the larger ones used for decoration.

——— Information from: The Plain Dealer, http://www.cleveland.c om

tion dropped by about 15 percent from roughly 166,000 in 2000 to nearly 142,000 in 2010, according to U.S Census figures.

The proportion of foreignborn residents is relatively small, just under 4 percent, or about 5,000, according to a 2010 Census survey.

Some planned recommendations aimed at boosting that number include increasing interpreter services in courts, government and health care agencies; creating a neighborhood district as a center for immigrant businesses; and recruiting tutors to help with language and literacy issues.

Riordan said he has received some critical emails — most from outside Dayton — concerned that the community-wide initiative will attract illegal immigrants, but he says the plan is not about that.

“What we are trying to do is help hard-working people and our city,” he said. “We don’t view it as our job to enforce immigration law.”

Steve Salvi, founder of Ohio Jobs & Justice PAC, is critical of the plan he believes will attract illegal immigrants to Dayton and possibly other parts of the state.

CINCINNATI (AP) — Officials in a southwest Ohio city hope a plan for branding the city as immigrant-friendly will help bolster a shrinking population and rejuvenate its ailing economy.

City commissioners in Dayton approved what City Manager Tim Riordan said is a framework for creating a more welcoming atmosphere at a time when all segments of the population are needed to help the city grow and prosper.

“Immigrants are already here, and banks, hospitals, police and landlords have been dealing with language and cultural issues,” Riordan said. “But I think we can do better.”

The hope is to entice immigrants to live in Dayton and invite others of their nationality to join them, increasing the population and establishing businesses that would create jobs in an area hurt by lost manufacturing and other employment.

“For a Midwest city like ours that has been hard-hit, this is a way to grow,” Riordan said.

4 arrested in Amish attack

The Pittsburgh PostGazette reported that the Mullets are the sons of 66-year-old Sam Mullet, who heads the splinter group of several families on a compound in Bergholz in Jefferson County. The paper said the Mullets and Levi Miller were charged with kidnapping and burglary. They were being held on $250,000 bond pending extradition to Holmes County.

KDKA television station in Pittsburgh reported that investigators believe the group traveled in buggies and horse trailers to carry out the attacks.

Jefferson County Sheriff Fred Abdalla could not be reached for comment Saturday. But he said recently that men and sometimes women from the group have terrorized a halfdozen or more fellow Amish, cutting the

beards off men and the hair off men and women. Several victims suffered minor injuries.

The attacks occurred over the past three weeks in Carroll, Holmes, Jefferson and Trumbull counties, which form the heart of Ohio’s Amish population, one of the nation’s largest.

Abdalla said the motive may be related to unspecified religious differences involving the 18 Amish families on the compound in Bergholz, 17 of them related, that have drawn previous attention from law enforcement, including a threat against the sheriff and a relative convicted of sexual contact with a minor.

2225596

STEUBENVILLE (AP) — Four men believed to be members of a breakaway Amish group were arrested Saturday for allegedly going into the home of an Amish man and cutting his hair and beard with scissors.

It’s common practice for married Amish men to have beards and the attack on the 74-yearold man in his Holmes County home Tuesday night was believed to be an attempt to degrade and insult him. Likewise, women do not cut their hair based on biblical teaching.

A Jefferson County deputy said authorities arrested 38-year-old Johnny Mullet, 26-yearold Lester Mullet, 53year-old Levi Miller, and Lester Miller. Lester Miller’s age was not immediately available nor were the charges against him or his relationship to Levi Miller.

COLUMBUS (AP) — Experts say a perfect storm of political circumstances this year — including an angry public and several supportive politicians — means efforts to change the process Ohio uses to redraw its congressional and legislative boundaries have the best chance ever of passing, even if it’s 10 years before it will be used.

Critics say the current system gives too much power to the political party in charge when the boundaries must be redrawn. They say politicians in the controlling party are free to gerrymander districts.

Republicans currently have a majority in the Ohio Legislature and on the state board that draws the state’s legislative maps. And Democrats say Ohio’s recently-approved new legislative map was gerrymandered to favor Republicans. The GOP defends the map as legal.

While the new map is being challenged by Democrats and criticized by some citizen groups, political experts and some legislators are looking 10 years out when the next redrawing will occur.

They are optimistic that the process can be changed before then, making it less partisan and the resulting districts fairly representing the state’s diverse residents.

Although a bill to change the process hasn’t been drafted yet, legislative leaders in both parties have expressed interest in seeing a proposal debated before the end of the legislative session in 2012. GOP Sen. Frank LaRose has asked Senate President Tom Niehaus, a fellow Republican, to work on a measure and said he’s confident that changes can be made.

Herb Asher, professor emeritus of political science at The Ohio State University, said the public support from high-profile, charismatic leaders like Secretary of State Jon Husted — a GOP rising star and former state senator — means there’s a good chance for a bill next year.

It also helps that most lawmakers will have been term-limited out of office by the time the maps have to be redrawn again, said Richard Gunther, professor of political science at Ohio State.

As a state senator, Husted introduced a joint resolution in 2009 that would have increased participation from the minority party and require its approval in the legislative map-making process.

The panel that now approves legislative districts is comprised of four Republicans — the governor, auditor, secretary of state and one legislative GOP member — and one legislative Democrat.

Husted’s proposal would have put more members of the minority party on the panel, and a map could not pass without at least one member from the minority party voting for it.

Though Husted’s measure passed the Senate, it died in the House.

A similar House Democratic proposal passed that chamber, but died in the Senate.

Under 18?

No more tanning beds SACRAMENTO, Calif.

(AP) — California has become the first state to make it illegal for teenagers under 18 to use tanning beds.

Gov. Jerry Brown said Sunday that he has signed SB746 into law. It goes into effect Jan. 1.

Currently, children 14 and under cannot use tanning beds in California.

Children ages 15-17 can tan with their parents’ permission.

The bill’s author, state Sen. Ted Lieu, says California is the first state to set a higher age limit.

Texas has the next highest age limit, banning tanning bed use by teenagers under 16.

Robots No. 1 at box office LOS ANGELES (AP) — Boxing robots are the undisputed champions at the weekend box office.

Hugh Jackman’s “Real Steel,” set in a near-future when robot fighters have replaced humans in the ring, debuted at No. 1 with $27.3 million, according to studio estimates Sunday.

A DreamWorks release distributed by Disney, “Real Steel” added $22.1 million in 19 overseas markets for a worldwide total of $49.4 million. The movie casts Jackman as a former boxer reluctantly thrown together with his young son as they turn a junkyard robot into a world-class contender.

George Clooney’s political saga “The Ides of March” was the runnerup, opening at No. 2 with $10.4 million.

Unemployed seek protection against job bias WASHINGTON (AP) — After two years on the unemployment rolls, Selena Forte thought she’d found a temporary job at a delivery company that matched her qualifications.

But Forte, a 55-year-old from Cleveland, says a recruiter for an employment agency told her she would not be considered for the job because she had been out of work too long. She had lost her job driving a bus.

“They didn’t even want to hear about my experience,” said Forte. “It didn’t make sense. You’re always told just go out there and get a job.”

Forte, scraping by now as a part time substitute school bus driver, is part of a growing number of unemployed or underemployed Americans who complain they are being screened out of job openings for the very reason they’re looking for work in the first place. Some companies and job agencies prefer applicants who already have jobs, or haven’t been jobless too long.

She could get help from a provision in President Barack Obama’s jobs bill, which would ban companies with 15 or more employees from refusing to consider — or offer a job to — someone who is unemployed. The measure also applies to employment agencies and would prohibit want ads that disqualify applicants

Fake cop pulls over real cop ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — Police say a New Mexico man pretending to be police officer pulled over a real Albuquerque Police Department detective and is facing charges.

KOB-TV reports that Tyree Appleberry was given the citation Wednesday on charges of impersonating a police officer then arrested for an outstanding warrant.

According to police, the 42-year-old turned on his strobe lights on his white Chevy Tahoe in an attempt to stop a driver, who turned out to be an undercover officer.

But Appleberry said he was not impersonating an officer and was instead asking the driver why he was in the parking lot next to an auto auction yard where his friend works.

the wealthy and other spending provisions. Should the bill fail, Democrats are sure to remind jobless voters that the GOP blocked an attempt to redress discrimination against

them at a time when work is so hard to find.

The effort to protect the unemployed has drawn praise from workers’ rights advocates, but business groups say it will just stir up needless litigation by frustrated job applicants. The provision would give those claiming discrimination a right to sue, and violators would face fines of up to $1,000 per day, plus attorney fees and costs.

“Threatening business owners with new lawsuits is not going to help create jobs and will probably have a chilling effect on hiring,” said Cynthia Magnuson, spokeswoman for the National Federation of Independent Business. “Business owners may be concerned about posting a new job if they could face a possible lawsuit.”

A survey earlier this year by the National Employment Law Project found more than 150 job postings on employment Web sites such as CareerBuilder.com and Monster.com requiring that applicants “must be currently employed” or using other exclusionary language based on current employment status.

“It’s really alarming to us that employers continue to ignore the strong public condemnation of this practice,” said Maurice Emsellem, the legal group’s policy co-director.

Israel’s new attacks JERUSALEM (AP) — A new rogue element has emerged in the IsraeliPalestinian gallery: Unknown assailants, widely assumed to be Jewish extremists, have vandalized Muslim cemeteries, mosques and farmlands in a spate of attacks that have put the country on edge.

These attacks, which in recent days have spread from the West Bank into Israel proper, have stoked fears of heightened violence and sparked increasingly agitated calls to find and punish the assailants.

On Sunday, Israeli leaders chimed in with condemnations, and police said they were stepping up efforts to halt the violence.

A WOMAN grieves at a hospital morgue for protesters killed during clashes with Egyptian security forces in Cairo Egypt, Sunday. Fierce clashes erupted Sunday between Christians protesting a recent attack on a church and the Egyptian military, leaving more than a dozen people dead and scores injured, Health Ministry officials said.

EGYPT ousted Mubarak. On Sunday night, they battled each other with rocks and firebombs, some tearing up pavement for ammunition and others collecting stones in boxes.

At one point, an armored security van sped into the crowd, striking a half-dozen protesters and throwing some into the air.

Protesters retaliated by setting fire to military vehicles, a bus and private cars, sending flames rising into the night sky.

After midnight, mobs roamed downtown streets, attacking cars they suspected had Christian passengers. In many areas, there was no visible police or army presence to confront or stop them.

Christians, who make up about 10 percent of Egypt’s 80 million people, blame the country’s ruling military council for being too lenient on those behind a spate of anti-Christian attacks since Mubarak’s ouster. As Egypt undergoes a chaotic power transition and security vacuum in the wake of the uprising, the Coptic Chris-

From Page 1 tian minority is particularly worried about the show of force by ultraconservative Islamists.

Prime Minister Essam Sharaf, addressing the nation in a televised speech, said the violence threatened to throw Egypt’s post-Mubarak transition off course.

“These events have taken us back several steps,” he said.

“Instead of moving forward to build a modern state on democratic principles we are back to seeking stability and searching for hidden hands — domestic and foreign — that meddle with the country’s security and safety.”

“I call on Egyptian people, Muslims and Christians, women and children, young men and elders to hold their unity,” Sharaf said.

The Christian protesters said their demonstration began as a peaceful attempt to sit in at the television building.

But then, they said, they came under attack by thugs in plainclothes who rained stones down on them and fired pellets.

LONDON (AP) — A hint of autumnal Beatlemania was in the air Sunday as Paul McCartney, for the second time in his improbable life, climbed the steps of venerable Old Marylebone Town Hall to take himself a bride.

True, thousands of heartbroken female fans crowded the columned building in 1969 when he married Linda Eastman, and only a few hundred showed up Sunday as he wed another American, Nancy Shevell, at the very same registry office.

But the feeling this time was not regret at the loss of a bachelor heartthrob. Instead there was joy that McCartney, regarded as a national treasure and revered the world over, seemed happy again.

The 69-year-old former Beatle appeared proud, content and eager to share his joy with the crowd, raising his bride’s hand in triumph as he walked down the steps after they became man and wife in a simple civil ceremony attended by close family and friends, including drummer Ringo Starr and Barbara Walters, a second cousin of the bride.

“I feel absolutely wonderful,” McCartney told fans as he arrived at his home after the ceremony. He was expected to sing a new song he had composed for his bride at the reception.

Gone was the memory of McCartney’s terribly unhappy marriage to Heather Mills, which ended in 2008 in an ugly public divorce. Remembered was his marriage to Eastman, a serene union that lasted nearly three decades until her life was cut short by breast cancer, leaving McCartney alone and adrift despite his fame and wealth.

The ceremony Sunday afternoon was everything his wedding to Mills was not: simple, understated, almost matter of fact. By contrast, McCartney and Mills married in an overthe-top lavish spectacle at a remote Irish castle that was disrupted several times by news helicopters flying overhead, hoping for a glimpse of the A-list guests.

This time, the smiles seemed genuine.

The affection — and rose petals and confetti — showered on McCartney and his bride captured his particular place in British life.

Famed pianist dies at 87 LOS ANGELES (AP) — Roger Williams, the virtuoso pianist who topped the Billboard pop chart in the 1950s and played for nine U.S. presidents during a long career, died Saturday. He was 87.

Williams died at his home in Los Angeles of complications from pancreatic cancer, according to his former publicist, Rob Wilcox.

Known as an electrifying stage performer and an adept improviser, Williams effortlessly switched between musical styles.

“Roger was one of the greatest pianists in the world and could play anything to classical music to jazz. He was one of the greatest personalities I’ve ever known,” said Sen. Orrin Hatch of Utah, a longtime friend of Williams and himself a musician. “He could touch any audience, from teenagers to senior citizens.”

Williams’ 1955 hit “Au-

tumn Leaves” was the only piano instrumental to reach number one on the Billboard pop charts. It remains the best-selling piano record of all time, with more than 2 million sold.

Nicknamed the “pianist to the presidents,” Williams played for every commander in chief from Harry Truman to George H.W. Bush. His last trip to the White House was in 2008, when he performed at a luncheon for then-first lady Laura Bush.

Williams was good friends with Jimmy Carter, with whom he shared a birthday.

When the two men turned 80, Williams played a 12hour marathon at the Jimmy Carter Library and Museum in Atlanta, with the former president in attendance.

Born Louis Wertz in Nebraska, Williams started playing piano at age 3. By age 9 he was prolific with several instruments and could play anything by ear.

Brown told the group that during the 1970s, Dr. Seymour Marco developed a new material, etafilcon A, and began making soft contact lenses. Marco sold his company to Johnson and Johnson in 1981. Utilizing stabilized soft molding (SSM) technology, the Acuvue contact lens was introduced in 1986. The lens was originally indicated for seven-day extended wear and later became a daily wear lens.

It takes coinciding lack of forage more low quality hay to growth, especially with sustain an animal than our cool season grasses. high quality hay, alThose with extra pad- though they will eat docks that are domi- high quality hay faster!

With fall comes the nated by a fescue species set aside the paddocks first frost of the season. for winter stockpiling. If In a grazing situation you were lucky enough frost brings with it two to have the extra grass considerations for gra-

ziers. According to Rory Lewandowski, AgNR Educator Athens County, frost can severely impact the safety of weeds and forages in the sorghum family. Forages like sudangrass and sorghum sudan mixes and weeds like johnsongrass and shattercane can produce prussic acid after a frost.

The compound contains cyanide and is very toxic to livestock. According to Rory animals should not graze sorghum plants “…on nights when frost is likely as high levels of prussic acid are produced within hours after a frost after a killing frost.” Rory recommends waiting 5 to 7 days after a frost event to graze areas. Also note that if a new frost occurs the cycle starts all over again.

Dr. Marc Sulc, OSU

Extension Forage Specialist, warns us that livestock should not graze a pure legume stand after a frost. After a frost pure legume stands have an increased risk to cause bloat. Dr. Sulc recommends waiting several days after the frost to let damaged plants dry and to include hay in the diet of animals eating pure legume or high legume stands.

Another fall management point for pastures is to make sure pasture species have the fertility they need to continue healthy growth. Fall is an optimal time to soil sample pastures to determine their nutrient needs. Soil fertility is of the utmost importance for pastures.

In a mixed grass and legume pasture a concentration of 35 percent legumes can provide the

nitrogen needed for the mixture. However, these legumes require optimal conditions to produce the nitrogen including a soil pH range between 6.5 and 6.8 and a good grazing management program.

Recycling of phosphorus and potassium under a management intensive grazing system is typically 80 percent, with 20 percent leaving the forms of meat and milk. If open grazing is utilized manure will be concentrated in loafing areas. This manure will either need to be spread or substituted with commercial fertilizer. The easiest way to manage manure is to manage the animals. A rotational grazing system will reduce the need to spread the manure mechanically.

Finally fall is an opti-

mal time to control perennial and biennial weeds. Thistles, dandelion, and locust are currently pumping carbohydrates from the leaves to the roots. Systemic herbicides like glyphosate and 2,4-D will catch a ride with the sugars and kill the roots of the plants.

For more information on fall pasture management there are many options. The first is the BEEF Newsletter at http://beef.osu.edu. Three guides available at the extension office are the Ohio Agronomy Guide, The Weed Control Guide, and the Forage Field Guide. The best resource we have in Ohio is Bob Hendershot. He will be at 4007 Route 66B in Houston, Ohio, on Thursday at 6 p.m. for the Shelby County Pasture Walk.

OSU Extension will lead Ohio Farm to School Program COLUMBUS — As students head back to school, they may be eating more fresh Ohio foods in their school lunch, breakfast and snack programs.

The Ohio State University Extension program in the College of Food, Agricultural and Environmental Sciences will now provide leadership for the statewide Farm to School program, tapping into the strength of state, county, regional and national networks. The program was

formerly administered through the Ohio Department of Agriculture.

Ohio’s Farm to School program provides youth, pre-kindergarten through college, with access to nutritious food while supporting local farmers and communities. This program not only provides young people with fresh, local food, but also helps them understand where their food comes from and how food choices affect their health, environment

and community.

“OSU Extension and their partners will be able to provide guidance and help make connections that result in healthy young people, healthy economies and healthy communities,” said OSU Extension Director Keith Smith. “With a presence and partnerships in all 88 Ohio counties, Ohio’s Farm to School program correlates well with our expertise.”

“The Ohio Department

of Agriculture created a solid foundation for the program and will continue to work closely with OSU Extension and a growing list of partners and advisors,” said Julie Fox, OSU’s Farm to School Program Director.

“A team of Extension professionals is bringing an apinterdisciplinary proach with research and education in nutrition, youth development, food production and distribution and local food systems.”

Ohio schools, farmers and youth advocates are

making a difference in cafeterias, classrooms and communities around the state with a variety of Farm to School programs.

Students taste the difference in the Granville School District where they work with local farmers and other Ohio food companies to serve fresh food in their meal programs.

October is the first National Farm to School Month, thanks to a resolution passed by Congress last November. To celebrate, schools across Ohio and the country will be

inviting farmers and chefs to visit their school during the month.

“There are many great Farm to School projects in Ohio,” said Fox. “We look forward to working with agencies, nonprofits, education and industry to expand the benefits of a statewide and national network.”

Earned payments are to be disbursed by direct deposit to a producer’s designated financial institution. Producers that elect not to receive a direct deposit of program payments will be issued a debit card.

The direct deposit method is a safe, reliable, convenient and more efficient way to receive these subject payments. Any earned payment or compensation should be credited to your financial institution account within 48 hours.

To enroll for direct deposit, a blank check marked VOID should be submitted to the FSA office. Concerns or questions relating to the direct deposit procedure may be submitted to the FSA office at anytime.

Safe Fall Work Season During this fall work season, please be mindful that farming is one of the most dangerous occupations in our United States.

Mechanical, chemical and environmental hazards may increase the risk of an accident.

Most accidents are preventable.

Think safety — Don’t become a statistic!

FINALISTS IN the 2011 Sidney Daily News Harvest Holiday Cook-off were (back row, l-r) Pat Woolley, of Jackson Center, 4 for $10; Caleb Wendel, of Troy, Soups & Sides; Beth Monnin, of Troy, Fabulous Fruit; Margie Wuebker, of Fort Loramie, Appetizers and Snacks; Gavin Kemper, of Fort Loramie, Kids in the Kitchen; and Elaine Fisher, of Wapakoneta,

Desserts. The three winners in the cook-off were (front row, l-r) Nancy Morgan, of Sidney, Main Dishes, first runner-up; Marci Langenkamp, of Russia, Holiday Traditions, grand prize winner; and Nicole Schaffer, of Quincy, Vegetarian Dishes, second-runner up.

COOK-OFF They gave the second place prize, a year’s subscription to the Sidney Daily News, to Nancy Morgan, of Sidney, for orange-cranberry-glazed pork tenderloin, which won the Main Dish category. Nicole Schaffer, of Quincy, earned third place honors and a $60 gift certificate to VandeMark Farms for her Vegetarian Dish category winner: vegetable stew.

Lagenkamp said she was taught by her mother and has been cooking since she was little.

“I cook for my family,” she said, “my husband, Jim, and my children, Shelby, Jack, Dean and Rudy.” She discovered the winning recipe online and liked it because, she said, “It’s a new twist on an old tradition. And it can be served warm or cold.”

This is the second cook-off championship for the Langenkamp family. Daughter Shelby was the grand prize winner in 2003 when she was 12 years old. Her dish, Back-by-PopularDemand Stromboli, was entered in the Appetizers & Beverages category.

The younger Langenkamp was a semi-finalist this year in the Main Dish category with her Can’t Go Wrong Lasagna.

Second-place finisher Morgan has been cooking since her 4-H days in 1948.

“I’m a scratch cook and cook almost every night,” she said. Her recipe, from Southern Living Christmas Cookbook, “sounded so good,” she said, “and when I made it the first time, I knew it would do well at the contest.”

Schaffer concocted her stew by using vegetables fresh from her garden.

“I remember watching my mom and grandma cook and bake ever since I was tall enough to see what they were doing on the counter,” she said.

The judges also gave special recognition to Caleb Wendel, son of Jen and Matthew Wendel, of Troy. A student in the culinary arts program of Upper Valley Career Center, Wendel adapted one of his teacher’s recipes to win the Soups and Sides category with French onion soup.

Each category winner took home a $50 cash prize. Others included

Walkers ‘Walk to End Alzheimer’s’ The sun was shining on Saturday morning’s A Walk to End Alzheimer’s as walkers pounded the pavement around Sidney’s court square, raising money and awareness in the battle against Alzheimer’s disease.

The event was held at courthouse square and started at 9 a.m. at the Senior Center of Sidney and Shelby County, 304 S. West Ave. This year’s goal was to reach $16,000 but organizers were unavailable for comment at press time.

The association provides free educational

opportunities, a support group, literature and assessments. home Teams of people and individuals are eligible to participate. Those who raised $100 or more received commemorative T-shirts.

According to the Alzheimer’s Association, the malady is the sixthleading cause of death in the U.S. Some 5.4 million people currently suffer from it and the number is expected to rise dramatically as the boomer generation ages.

More than 1,000 people in Shelby County have Alzheimer’s.

HOROSCOPES

BY FRANCIS DRAKE What kind of day will tomorrow be? To find out what the stars say, read the forecast given for your birth sign.

For Tuesday, Oct. 11, 2011 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Some Full Moons are easier than others, but this ain’t one of them. Therefore, tread carefully.

Relations with partners and close friends might be difficult today.

Don’t fly off the handle.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) You might feel irritated or out of sorts today. Not to worry; it’s because of the Full Moon. It could create a little tension with coworkers. Easy does it.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Problems dealing with females, especially in group situations, are very likely today. Don’t react to what others say, because today’s Full Moon can create tension.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Because the Moon is your ruler, naturally you will feel things stemming from today’s Full Moon. That’s why it’s hard to choose between home and family versus career and reputation.

BY FRANCIS DRAKE What kind of day will tomorrow be? To find out what the stars say, read the forecast given for your birth sign.

For Wednesday, Oct. 12, 2011 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) This is the perfect day to make up for any nasty words spoken yesterday, under the pressure of the Full Moon. It’s time to kiss and make up.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) You might feel sympathetic toward a coworker today. Or vice versa — perhaps someone will feel sympathetic toward you, especially if it involves health issues.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) What a romantic day!

This is the stuff of movies. You might develop a crush on someone, because you have a longing for tender love in your life. (Sigh.)

CANCER (June 21 to July 22)

REAL

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Avoid arguments about politics, religion or racial matters today. Feelings are running high because of the Full Moon. Don’t make an issue of anything.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Quarrels about inheritances, shared property, taxes, debt, who knows what or who is responsible for what easily might arise today.

Don’t even go there.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Today, the only Full Moon directly opposite your sign all year is taking place. Naturally, this will encourage stress between you and partners or close friends.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Health issues or even stress between you and co-workers is likely to arise today because of the Full Moon. Fortunately, this kind of tension is gone in 48 hours.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Avoid stress with children, romantic partners and any groups you’re dealing with, especially women! It’s the Full Moon today, and people are emotionally raw.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Avoid quarrels with authority

Conversations with family members will be mutually sympathetic today. (This is a good time to discuss a problem you might have been reluctant to mention.)

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Your imagination is in high gear today. Don’t worry if you spend a lot of time daydreaming. We all need days like this now and then. (But daydreams can be time-consuming!)

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) You have imaginative ideas about earning money today. They might be far-fetched, but they also might be geniuslike. Who knows?

LIBRA Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) You will find that you’re more sensitive to others today. It’s as if your antennae are more attuned. Conversations with others will not be practical; instead, they’ll be mystical and magical!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21)

figures today. This includes parents, bosses, teachers, VIPs and the police. Wait until the Full Moon is over. (Ya think?)

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Difficulties with publishing, the media, medicine, the law and anything having to do with higher education are very likely today. Be tolerant of others, because they are touchy.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) It won’t be easy to reach an agreement today about shared property or anything you own jointly with others. Obviously, this includes inheritances. Therefore, postpone these discussions for another day.

YOU BORN TODAY You want to find your proper place in the world. You want to make a contribution, yet you want to have fun! You love excitement, and you’re charming and easygoing. Plus, you work so well with others. Essentially, you prefer to choose a relaxed lifestyle. Get ready for a fabulous year ahead, because you’re entering one of the most powerful years of your life.

Dream big!

Birthdate of: Stephen Moyer, actor; Eleanor Roosevelt, humanitarian; Michelle Trachtenberg, actress.

This is a magical, mysterious day, which is why you feel a bit otherworldly. If you can get some time to be by yourself to contemplate your navel, by all means do so. You need some solitude.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Discussions with friends will focus on idealistic subjects, especially how to join efforts to relieve the suffering of others. You might be inspired by a noble cause.

(It’s that kind of day.)

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) If you can use your influence with someone in authority to improve the conditions of others, you will. You feel genuine concern for someone, or perhaps even a group.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Your ideals are aroused today. Discussions about religion, philosophical subjects or consciousness-raising ideas will appeal to

you. You might even meet a teacher who inspires you.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) You are quite open to the possibility of using shared funds or shared property to benefit someone today. You feel sympathetic and selfless.

YOU BORN TODAY You have a generous heart. This, combined with your charming personality, inspires others. You value tradition, you have financial savvy and you are excellent in management.

You’re also very comfortable being adored! Many learn to depend on you.

In the next year, something you’ve been involved in for nine years will end or diminish, in order to make room for something new.

DEAR DR. DONOHUE: My grandson was diagnosed with a seizure disorder at age 3 and had been on medication since.

Last week, he was found dead in bed at age 34. The cause of death was listed as grand mal seizure. I have researched this and did not find any reports of grand mal seizures being fatal. What are your thoughts on grand mal seizures causing death?

— C.L. ANSWER: Grand mal seizures are now called generalized seizures of

the tonic-clonic variety.

Such seizures often start with the person making a grunting noise. The individual falls to the ground with initially quite stiff muscles — tonic. Then the arms and legs thrash about, contracting and relaxing — clonic. Most people with this disorder do not die from it. If a person happens to develop a seizure that lasts for hours and hours or longer, a condition called status epilepticus, death results in 20 percent to 30 percent of these people.

Another cause of death in generalized seizures is SUDEP, sudden unexpected death in epilepsy patients. It, too, is rare and mostly happens to young people with hardto-control seizures. It frequently occurs during sleep. The cause isn’t known.

If you have any more details of your grandson’s death, write, and I’ll try to make the answer more specific. You and your family have my sympathy on the death of this young man.

DEAR WAFFLING: As far as I know, you broke no rule of etiquette. What you encountered was a hungry woman who was taking her impatience out on you. She is lucky you didn’t hand her an egg and tell her to go suck on it.

DEAR ABBY: Two weeks before our youngest child’s wedding, my husband of more than 40 years suddenly became obsessed with worry that I was unfaithful. It was unfounded and nearly ruined the wedding for both of us. This continued for two weeks after the wedding, until he finally vowed to “let it go.”

October 10, 1911 Considerable excitement prevailed about the city Sunday morning when it was learned that the office of the Klipstine Lumber Co. on South Walnut Avenue had been burglarized. The burglary was committed some time during the night and was discovered

by George Schaub, who is employed at the lumber yard and who went into the building about 5 o’clock Sunday morning to get ready to go hickory nut hunting. A hurried investigation established the fact that the burglars got little for their trouble. hounds were Blood brought from St. Marys, but the trail was lost in the vicinity of the electric plant.

——— The Memorial window in memory of Rev. F.M. Quatman has been placed in a prominent position in the church. The figure of the Immaculate Conception together with the portrait of the beloved pastor is represented in the work of art.

The piece of art is the work of Reardon & Co., of Cincinnati, and is very fine.

——— The Board of County Commissioners has filed an answer in the case of Charles Timeus vs. C.H. &D. Railroad and the commissioners, in which they say they were to bear no expenses in putting up the new bridge over the railroad at the St. Marys Pike north of Sidney. Timeus also filed a reply that he had no agreement with anyone concerning the improvement.

75 Years Ago October 10, 1936 Harry Gilfer, the North Main Avenue tailor, has recently improved the appearance and convenience of his place of business, by doing some remodeling, redecorating and adding new fixtures.

——— Delegates and alternates to the district convention of Kiwanis International to be held in Dayton later this month were selected at the regular weekly luncheon meeting of the Sidney Kiwanis club yesterday noon. Delegates include: Arnold Henke, and Gilbert Carle, President and vice-presidentelect, and William Couser. Alternates are, Roy Harmony, Harry Tahl, and William Amos.

speaker at the luncheon meeting of the Sidney Optimist Club, at the Hotel Wagner, according to program chairman James Buck. Editor Amos is expected to discuss the recent “briefing” given in Washington to American newspaper editors.

——— A party of area Sidney sportsmen have returned from a recent big-game hunt in the wild regions around Buffalo, Wyo. Taking part is the venture were Huffman Dearth, Harley Clark, and Burton Smith all of Sidney. Cyril Ely and Emory Finkenbine of Anna were also part of the group.

——— The seventy-fifth year for the Shakespeare Club opened Friday afternoon for another year of study with Mrs. Lloyd Lutz entertaining in her country home on Russell Road.

Organized in 1887, the Shakespears Club is the oldest study group in Sidney and its programs have centered on the works of William Shakespeare.

25 Years Ago October 10, 1986 The J.C. Variety Shop has undergone a steady evolutionary process in the nearly two years that Carol Snider has owned the business. It has gone from a used clothing store to a shop featuring a variety of hand-crafted and other gift ideas. Many village residents are surprised when they enter the store. People coming into the store didn’t know they had such a nice store in Jackson Center.

——— Sidney High School football players are gearing up to play their biggest rival Piqua this Friday night. It seems like only yesterday that Sidney players and fans were caught up in the ecstasy of five straight wins over the Indians. But that streak ended in 1980 and Piqua has won the last six meetings. Hopefully the tide will turn for Coach Bryan Deal.

——— The Sidney-Shelby County YMCA held a grand opening celebration to mark the completion of the expansion at 300 Parkwood Street.

“This expansion is the fulfillment of a dream held by many in the YMCA and the community.” stated Dennis Ruble, YMCA executive director. The ceremonies featured remarks from Richard Henke, the first president of the YMCA in Sidney, as well as the current president Robert Zielsdorf.

October 10, 1961 William T. Amos, editor of the Sidney Daily News, bending over backward is schedule to be the main to make it up to me. He is as thoughtful and passionate as if we were on our honeymoon again.

While I’m enjoying the attention, I can’t help but wonder if he is the guilty one. What do you think? — TURNING THE TABLES IN ILLINOIS DEAR TURNING THE TABLES: What I think isn’t nearly as important as what YOU think. If you think he has been unfaithful, you may be right. The question now is, what do you intend to do about it? If you no longer trust your husband, then marriage counseling would be appropriate.

Bucks collapse in 2nd half

BY JIM NAVEAU jnaveau@limanews.com

AP Photo/David J. Phillip

MILWAUKEE BREWERS’ Prince Fielder lifts Yuniesky Betancourt after Betancourt hit a two-run home run during the fifth inning of Game 1 of baseball’s National League championship series against the Cardinals Sunday in Milwaukee.

Brewers whip Cards MILWAUKEE (AP) — The barbs already were flying.

Come Sunday, the Milwaukee Brewers bashed the St. Louis Cardinals with their bats.

Needing a rally in the NL championship series opener, Milwaukee turned to its power duo of Ryan Braun and Prince Fielder, then got a clutch hit from Yuniesky Betancourt to beat the St. Louis Cardinals 9-6.

Braun launched a two-run, 463-foot homer in the first inning and added a two-run double during a six-run burst in the fifth. Fielder hit a tworun homer and the typically Betancourt light-hitting added a two-run homer to cap the big comeback.

The midgame turnaround came so fast that the crowd wasn’t done cheering Braun’s big hit when Fielder went deep.

“I don’t even know if I heard the ball come off Prince’s bat,” Brewers manager Ron Roenicke said. “I knew it was a good swing and came off nice, but when you can’t hear the ball, the sound of it, because of all the people yelling. I wasn’t sure what was going to happen there until I saw the ball flight.”

At least for one game, the bitter NL Central rivals avoided any on-field confrontations in their first postseason matchup since the 1982 World Series.

That’s despite an already tense atmosphere that gained some steam when Brewers starter Zack Greinke let it slip on Saturday that some of his teammates don’t like the Cardinals’ Chris Carpenter ‚Äî a comment that drew a stern rebuke from Cardinals manager Tony La Russa.

Greinke hinted that he heard a few comments from the Cardinals’ dugout Sunday, but said it was “no big deal.”

The atmosphere was tense even before the first pitch, as La Russa was showered with boos during pregame introductions. He calmly tipped his cap to the crowd.

La Russa said afterward that he hoped the tension wouldn’t overshadow the competition.

“I don’t want our players and their players to be egged on, and I don’t think they will,” La Russa said. “We’re going to play as hard and good against each other as we can.”

Greinke struggled, but reliever Takashi Saito got Cardinals star Albert Pujols to ground into a key double play in the seventh.

LINCOLN, Neb. – Who let the Boston Red Sox into Ohio State’s uniforms? Move over Philadelphia Phillies.

When it comes to late-game collapses, Ohio State is right up there with those underachieving baseball titans after giving up 28 unanswered points to lose 34-27 to Nebraska on Saturday night.

Ohio State (3-3, 0-2 Big Ten) appeared to be on its way to dispersing the cloud of pessimism that had hung over its football program since hitting rock bottom in a 10-7 loss to Michigan State a week ago.

OSU jumped out to a 27-6 lead with 10:53 left in the third quarter to stun the Cornhuskers and silence the crowd at Memorial Stadium.

But it was all downhill for Ohio State after that when Nebraska (4-1, 1-1 Big Ten) put together the biggest comeback in school history.

“I don’t know that I’ve seen a game that changed like that,” Ohio State coach Luke Fickell said. “When the momentum shifts, you’ve got to make a play and we just didn’t do it.”

The turning point might have come when on one play with 4:46 minutes left in the third quarter.

On that play, OSU freshman quarterback Braxton Miller suffered an ankle injury that knocked him out for the rest of the game.

That was the end of Miller’s night and the end of Ohio State’s offense. The Buckeyes gained 305 yards with Miller in the game and 36 yards in the final 19 minutes without him. replacement Joe His Bauserman was 1 of 10 passing and threw the interception that allowed Nebraska to begin its game-winning drive.

But it wasn’t just the offense that stuggled. OSU’s defense gave up 28 points in a span of 17 minutes, 13 seconds in the second half.

Instead of turning the corner, Ohio State stumbled deeper into the dark alley its

OHIO STATE’S Carlos Hyde (34) runs past Nebraska’s Lavonte David (4) and Andrew Green (11), for a touchdown in the first half of their NCAA college football game in Lincoln, Neb., Saturday. season has become.

Ohio State led 20-6 at halftime and pushed that edge to 27-6 on a 1-yard run by Carlos Hyde to end a 47-yard drive that began after Nebraska was forced to punt on its first possession of the second half.

The Cornhuskers began their comeback when linebacker Lavonte David stripped Miller and recovered his fumble at OSU’s 23-yard

line. That led to an 18-yard touchdown run by Nebraska quarterback Taylor Martinez to make it 27-13.

A 36-yard touchdown throw from Martinez to Quincy Enunwa brought Nebraska to within 27-20 with 1:44 left in the third quarter and a 30-yard screen pass from Martinez to Burkhead for a score tied the game 2727 with 7:35 left to play.

An interception by Stanley

Jean-Baptiste at Nebraska’s 22-yard line with 6:29 left in the game was the beginning of the end for Ohio State.

It took Nebraska only four plays to take the lead – an 18yard run by Martinez, followed by a facemask penalty, a 22-yard run and a 1-yard run by Burkhead and a 17yard touchdown run by Burkhead with 5:10 to play.

Bengals rally, win over Jags JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Reggie Nelson ran around the field with his arms held high.

Sure, it was a great feeling to win in his return to Jacksonville. Nelson had another reason to celebrate: the comefrom-behind victory got him off the hook.

Andy Dalton threw two touchdown passes, Bernard Scott scored with 1:56 remaining and the Bengals rallied to beat the Jacksonville Jaguars 30-20 Sunday.

The Bengals (3-2) took advantage of Matt Turk’s 22yard punt into the wind to set up the winning score, a touchdown that was needed because Mike Nugent missed an extra point in the first half and because Nelson blew coverage on a 74-yard touchdown pass in the fourth.

“I’ve had a lot of success on this field and had some good wins here, so it was nice to continue that trend,” Nelson said.

“Bottom line, it’s a W. A win is a win, even if we did make some mistakes out there.”

Cincinnati’s mistakes were overshadowed by Jacksonville’s gaffes, which resulted in a fourth consecutive loss and more questions about coach Jack Del Rio’s future with the franchise.

CINCINNATI BENGALS running back Bernard Scott (28), second from right, scores a rushing touchdown past Jacksonville Jaguars free safety Dawan Landry (26) during the second half of an NFL football game in Jacksonville, Fla., Sunday. The Bengals won 30-20.

“At the end of the day, he’s not playing,” Jaguars running back Maurice Jones-Drew said. “If somebody has to go, obviously it’s going to be one of the players. You can call whatever you want, we have to execute the play. It’s not on the coach. It’s sad to say that he has to take the heat, but he shouldn’t because he’s not out there strapping it up, going out there to play. All he can do is sit and watch.

“It ain’t on him. He’s not wearing a jersey number.”

The Jaguars (1-4) had plenty of blame to go around.

Tight end Marcedes Lewis

had a pass stripped from his hands in the end zone in the second quarter, and the Jaguars had to settle for a short field goal. Mike Thomas and Jason Hill dropped balls.

Rookie quarterback Blaine Gabbert failed to handle a botched snap in closing minutes, denying Jacksonville a chance to tie the game with a field goal. And then there was Turk.

“It’s not going in our favor,” Thomas said. “A couple of things happened down the stretch and y’all know the end result.”

The Bengals came up big

down the stretch, something that eluded them in close losses to Denver and San Francisco earlier this season.

After Turk’s punt bounced out of bounds, Dalton hooked up with Jermaine Gresham on a fourth-and-6 play to keep the drive alive. He then found Andre Caldwell for an 8-yard gain, and with the Jaguars expecting a pass on third down, Scott weaved his way into the end zone to make it 23-20.

“The more experience I have going out and seeing different looks, I feel like I’m becoming comfortable,” Dalton said.

The Buckeyes rediscovered their offense in those two quarters, rolling up 246 yards, more than double the 117 yards Nebraska got.

They scored on their first three possessions of the game, then turned an ill-advised throw by Martinez into a field goal as time ran out in the first half.

Martinez, who hit his first 10 passes, missed his last three of the half.

“We were our own worst enemy in the first half, especially defensively,” Nebraska coach Bo Pelini said.
