City moves toward closing budget gapBY NANCY SPENCER

Herald [email protected]

DELPHOS City AuditorTom Jettinghoff had good newsfor Delphos City Council at

Wednesdays special meeting. Loanpayments totaling nearly $1.5 mil-lion have been deferred for sixmonths.

The Ohio Water DevelopmentAuthority granted the deferment toextend the loans out six months pastthe scheduled last payment, keep-ing $525,000 in the Water Fund andnearly $900,000 in the Sewer Fund.

The good news came on the heelsof an executive session that openedthe meeting. The session was calledto discuss personnel matters, com-pensation of employees and con-tract negotiations.

When council returned to regularsession, Mayor Michael Gallmeierand Safety Service Director GregBerquist announced a Memorandumof Understanding was reached withthe firefighters union to delay thelayoffs of the part-paid personnel

for 45 days until the city receivesword if it has been awarded a SafeGrant from Homeland Security andthe Federal Emergency ManagementAgency for the full salaries andbenefit packages of three full-timefirefighters.

We received a call from FEMAon Friday with questions for us toanswer and then received a secondcall the same day to answer more,Berquist said. I would say theyare giving us a good look for thesefunds.

The grant would re-employ thethree full-time firefighters who

received lay-off notices in earlyOctober for two years.

This would keep our fire depart-ment staffed at the previous levels,Berquist said.

Berquist said the administrationis in progressive talks with the fire-

fighters union for upcoming con-tracts.

Berquist also reported ActingFire Chief Kevin Streets has goneover the standard operating guide-lines for reduced staff. On an emer-gency medical call, the firefighteron duty will still act as a firstresponder with paramedics andEMTs to follow. On a fire call, twofull-time firefighters will take twopieces of equipment and respondto the scene with part-paid person-nel responding to the station foradditional equipment and then tothe scene. With the previous staff-

ing levels, the part-paid personnelwould respond directly to the scenewith the equipment brought by thefull-time personnel.

Council also voted 4-3 to havecity employees pick up 4.75 per-cent of the estimated 9.43-percent

increase in health insurance pre-miums. Councilman Mark Clementwas one of the no votes. He statedthat he didnt believe the publicwould go for not passing on thefull increase to employees with thecitys finances in their current state.

We are going to have to put inplace water and sewer rate increasesand were asking them to pass a.25-percent income tax increase,Clement said. I just dont agreewith not passing the full increase onto the employees.

The next regular city councilmeeting will begin at 7 p.m. Nov. 4.

Staff [email protected]

OTTOVILLE Board ofPublic Affairs member PhilHilvers presented a quoteto council members for thepurchase of a new SensusAutoRead water meter read-ing device, software andsupport during the villagecouncil meeting Mondayevening.

BPA members originally

spoke with council about pur-chasing the new equipment atSeptembers council meetingand explained the benefits ofthe system. BPA member DanHonigford said the handheldreader records the serial num-ber of the meter and takesthe reading of 100 metersat a time. After reading thedata, it is uploaded and thereis no handwritten informa-tion. In addition, the systemwont charge a homeownertwice and notifies the user of

missed meters and flags high-usage levels. Honigford saidthe handheld reader currentlyin use only takes eight read-ings and then the results haveto be handwritten.

Given the benefits ofupgrading, council agreedto approve the purchase ofthe Sensus AutoRead for$12,069.

Hilvers also reported inlast months meeting thatthe villages water tow-ers were recently inspected.

The 1,000-gallon tower wasfound to be in good shape andthe 2,000-gallon tower is inneed of interior and exteriorpainting. He said the paintwas flaking off and needsattention. Hilvers said BPAmembers are still working ongetting quotes for the paint-ing of the towers so they havea plan of action and can getthe painting completed beforethe next inspection.

Using various fundraising activities, (Turtle Races, Gun Raffles, and FiremensConvention), along with generous donations from Ottoville VFW Post 3740 and OttovilleLady Otts, the Ottoville Fire Department was able to purchase a set of HURST Jawsof Life extrication tools for $22,050. This is a heavy-duty tool that can cut throughmetal or pry apart sections of an automobile. It is used especially to free people trapped inwrecked vehicles. During emergencies, when a few wasted seconds can cost lives, the Jawsof Life are brought in to remove victims from the crashed vehicle. These devices are alsoused to extricate victims from collapsed concrete and steel structures. Before being putinto service, the department will go through extensive training in the proper and safe useof these tools. State Certified instructors will be used to conduct this class at an additionalcost of more than $3,500. The department will continue to have fundraisers to purchaseadditional equipment that will enhance the usefulness of these tools. (Submitted photo)

Mark Loux, OSU weedspecialist wrote the follow-

ing article for fall weed con-trol.

Farmers who have existinginfestations of winter annu-als or marestail, or need tocontrol biennials (wild carrot,poison hemlock) or peren-nials (dandelion, quackgrass,Canada thistle) should applyherbicides in the fall. Theprimary value of fall herbi-cide treatments is to preventthese weeds from getting tootall and hard to control in thespring. Fall emerged mares-tail tends to be the highestweed seed producer the fol-lowing year.

Here is a core group offall applied herbicides thatwill control emerged weeds:For soybeans planted in thespring: Canopy EX or DF+ 2,4-D, Glyphosate + 2,4-D, or Metribuzin + 2,4-D(excluding dandelions). Forcorn planted next spring:Basis + 2,4-D, Glyphosate +2,4-D, or Simazine + 2,4-D(except dandelion).

Its possible to use othertreatments in the fall, suchas dicamba + 2,4-D, Autumn+ glyphosate or 2,4-D, orExpress + 2,4-D, but theseare not more effective thanthe treatments listed above

(and can be less effectiveon dandelion). Glyphosate +2,4-D is the most effective forcontrol of most perennial andbiennial weeds, and glypho-sate can be added to the othertreatments to accomplish this.Combinations of 2,4-D plusCanopy or Basis have beenthe most consistently effec-tive on dandelion.

Only Canopy productsprovide substantial residualcontrol of annual weeds thatemerge in spring or earlysummer. Our research showsthat it is largely a waste of

money to apply residual soy-bean herbicides other than

Canopy in the fall with thegoal of controlling weeds thatemerge after soybean plant-ing the following spring,because they all largely dis-sipate during winter to thepoint of providing little to noactivity the following spring.

In most soybean fields it isa big mistake to apply all ofthe residual herbicide in thefall, with the goal of makingonly post emergence glypho-sate applications the follow-ing year. It is possible to dothis with Canopy products infields with low populationsand no glyphosate resistanceissues, but most fields ben-

efit from use of residual her-bicides in the spring, alongwith some additional burn-down herbicide if needed.This program (fall residualfollowed by POST glypho-sate next year) is frequentlydoomed to fail in fields withmarestail problems. Most ofthe marestail in the state isnow glyphosate-resistant, andmany populations are resis-tant to ALS inhibitors also.This means that it is impos-sible to control marestailafter soybeans have emerged,unless the field is plantedwith LibertyLink soybeans.

In those fields requiring

a fall herbicide treatment formanagement of other winterannual weeds, dandelion, etc.,where marestail also occurs,it is essential not to apply allof the residual herbicide inthe fall. The majority of theresidual herbicide should beapplied in the spring, to maxi-mize control of marestail thatemerges in May and June.The most effective residualherbicides include two modesof action, to ensure effec-tiveness on ALS-resistantmarestail. Examples: Envive,Valor XLT, Gangster, Sonic,

Authority First, Canopy DF+ metribuzin.

Where the marestailis resistant to ALS inhibi-tors as well as glyphosate,fall application of Canopywill fail to provide controlof spring-emerging mares-tail. This will usually not beimproved with applicationof a premix such as ValorXLT/Envive, Authority First/Sonic, etc. Our researchshows that the best approachwhere marestail are resistantto both glyphosate and ALSinhibitors: Apply glyphosate+ 2,4-D in the fall and followwith broad-spectrum residualherbicides in spring com-bined with enough burndown

herbicide to ensure completecontrol of marestail. This canbe a challenge in the parts ofthe state where wet soils inspring can result in late plant-ing and big marestail. Butapplying more residual her-bicide in the fall wont solvethis problem, and we haveburndown options that canwork on big marestail (Ignite+ Sharpen, Ignite + metribuz-in, glyphosate + Sharpen,etc.). See our factsheet onmarestail control at: http://agcrops.osu.edu/specialists/weeds/marestail/marestail-fact09_000.pdf/view

Some farmers wonder

whether they should spraytheir fields before or afterplanting cover crops. If youare using cereal rye as acover crop, drop out theglyphosate and apply onlythe 2-4D to take out themarestail. Since cereal rye isa grass, the 2-4D has only anegative effect on broadleafweeds. You can also applythe 2-4D in the early springif you want the cover cropto continue growing OR use2-4D with glyphosate to killoff the cover crop and weedsin the spring.

Continental farmer growinginnovative new soybeans


CONTINENTAL Hybrid cars,iPads and drones are just a few tech-nologies developed to revolutionizevarious industries. Ohio farmers haveadopted the same approach to inno-vation in their fields with high oleicsoybeans.

One example is Continental farmerDan Heitzman. He planted this newtype of soybeans this year to providebenefits to the food industry, as well asother soybean customers.

It feels great to be on the cuttingedge of innovation for the U.S. soy-bean industry, said Heitzman. Weare promoting the use our soybeanoil and developing new uses for it, aswell.

From restaurants to food manufac-

turers and grocery stores, soybean oil isthe most commonly used vegetable oilin the United States. But, the oil fromthe Heitzmans new soybeans will givethose same restaurants and food manu-facturers an improved oil with betterfunctionality that avoids trans fats andcontains less saturated fats. For theproduct to be available in local storesand appear on food labels, farmers likeHeitzman need to take advantage of theopportunity to grow these cutting edgevarieties.

As farmers, it is our responsibil-ity to grow a product that is better forend-users and for our neighbors, saidHeitzman.

Ohio is one of few states chosen toroll out this innovation, which comes

with the same proven genetics andagronomic packages farmers have cometo expect. Seed companies developedhigh oleic soybeans during the lastdecade to ensure they perform compa-rably with farmers on-farm averages.And, Heitzman is taking the opportu-nity to be on the cutting edge of thistechnology.

These high oleic varieties performcomparably with my on-farm average,said Heitzman. They are also compa-rable with the pest and disease pack-ages my other varieties come in.

Growing a product with advantagesfor customers will grow demand for

U.S. soybeans and increase farmersprofit potential. High oleic soybeanoil even has the potential to open upnew industrial markets for farmers,with uses such as motor oils. Heitzmanis growing a product that will meetcustomer needs and grow not only hisbusiness, but also the profitability ofthe entire industry.

I like growing these new soybeans,said Heitzman. Its good for me as afarmer and for the industry to open up

new potential markets.It takes food companies two years

to incorporate a new ingredient intotheir products, so consumers may notsee the results right away. But, Ohiofarmers can begin filling the demandnow. Farmers who are interested injoining Hei tzm an in thi s innova tionshould contact their local seed or pro-cessor representative today to find outabout marketing contracts suitable fortheir individual operations. Or, visitwww.SoyInnovation.com for contactinformation for elevators and proces-sors ready to collect and contract higholeic soybeans.

The 69 farmer-directors of USBoversee the investments of the soycheckoff to maximize profit oppor-

tunities for all U.S. soybean farmers.These volunteers invest and leveragecheckoff funds to increase the value ofU.S. soy meal and oil, to ensure U.S.soybean farmers and their customershave the freedom and infrastructure tooperate, and to meet the needs of U.S.soys customers. As stipulated in thefederal Soybean Promotion, Researchand Consumer Information Act, theUSDA Agricultural Marketing Servicehas oversight responsibilities for USBand the soy checkoff.

Farm Bill should addressrural Americas needs

BY JOHN CRABTREE

Center for Rural Affairs

With the Farm Bill final-ly moving forward, theCenter for Rural Affairsurges the House-SenateConference Committee toensure that the bill addressthe needs of family farm-ers, ranchers and small

towns while also protectingour natural resources.

The Committee mustreform the farm safety net,including farm programpayments and federallysubsidized crop insurance.There are important provi-sions included in one orboth bills that will provideneeded reforms to theseprograms. These reformsshould move forward intothe final bill. We urge theconferees to: adopt the his-toric payment limits andactively engaged in farm-

ing reforms adopted inboth bills with substantialbipartisan support; acceptthe Senates modest reduc-tion in crop insurance pre-mium subsidies for million-aires; include the SenatesSodsaver provision thatprotects against destructionof prime grasslands andnative prairie nationwide;

and reject the House provi-sion to obliterate the farm-er and rancher protectionsprovided by the Packersand Stockyards Act.

Real federal investmentin helping small towns andrural entrepreneurs hasfallen by half over the lastdecade. The ConferenceCommittee should reversethis trend with direct fund-ing for the Value-AddedProducer Grant program atits historic level of $20 mil-lion annually and increasedirect spending for the

Rural MicroentrepreneurAssistance Program, whichprovides loans and techni-cal assistance to rural smallbusinesses, to $10 millionannually.

These reforms andinvestments have broadsupport in Congress andperhaps more importantly,throughout rural and small

town America. They shouldbe included in the finalFarm Bill.

Established in 1973, theCenter for Rural Affairs is aprivate, non-profit organi-zation working to strength-en small businesses, fam-ily farms and ranches, andrural communities throughaction oriented programsaddressing social, eco-nomic, and environmentalissues.

Herbicide treatmentin fall helps in spring

Congress beginstalks on foodstamps, farm aid

WASHINGTON (AP) House and Senate negotiatorshave begun talks on crafting acompromise farm bill, includingcuts to the food stamp program.

The talks opened Wednesdayafternoon, just two days beforefood stamp recipients will seea separate, unrelated cut in theirmonthly benefits. On Friday,a temporary benefit from the2009 stimulus that boosted foodstamp dollars will expire.

According to the AgricultureDepartment, that means a familyof four receiving food stampswill receive $36 less a month.The cuts are expected to reducethe almost $80 billion programby almost $5 billion next year.

If passed, the farm bill cutswould be on top of that amount.The cost of the program hasmore than doubled since 2008as the economy has struggled,and Republicans say it needsto be better targeted to only theneediest people. Legislationpassed by the GOP-controlledHouse would cut food stampsby an additional $4 billionannually and change eligibilityand work requirements.

From the hilarious to theserious and in between

By JIM METCALFESports Editor

[email protected]

When I saw this article, I started laugh-ing.

It reminded me of a famous or is itinfamous? moment in movie history.

A British soccer fan was sent to jail fora year for drumroll, please punchinga police horse in the head after his team Sunderland lost a derby match.

It seems one Barry Rogerson got rather,well, upset he was already drunk afterhis team lost 3-0 to fierce rival NewcastleUnited and violence to these hooligans that is a loving nickname for these parti-sans is far from rare.

He was accused of first clapping in theface of the horse, Bud, then punched thepoor beast working for West YorkshirePolice.

Not only does Rogerson have to spenda year in jail but, worst of all, he cannotattend any soccer matches in the Kingdom

for six years.It reminded me of when the late Alex

Karras, playing Mongo, bashed a horse inthe head and knocked him out.

Wonder if Mr. Rogerson knocked Bud

out or if he broke his own hand? Did theman even feel it?

-I changed my mind.At first, I was going to write about

the two scenes Dallas Cowboys widereceiver Dez Bryant threw on the sidelinein Sundays loss to the Detroit Lions.

I was going to term them tantrums thatchildren would be punished for, let alonehow adults should not act.

Then I heard the audio and somewhataltered my perception.

It still is not the way to address issuesduring a game; having to be restrained . Iunderstand that he is passionate and wants

to win badly but, I assume, so does every-one else on that team. If not, they should besummarily fired.

Slumping Dolphins face 1st-place BengalsBy STEVEN WINE

Associated Press

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. Emerging from the MiamiDolphins complex througha back door, Ryan Tannehillwrinkled his nose as he walkedpast a stack of fertilizer for thepractice fields.

Ugh, it smellslike sulfur, Tannehillobserved.

The Dolphinsaroma is becomingtough to ignore. Aftera 3-0 start, Miami(3-4) has lost four consecutivegames, with each defeat morepungent than the last.

Especially odoriferouswas the latest loss, when theDolphins blew a 2-touchdownlead in the second half at NewEngland. With little time toregroup, theyll try to revivefading playoff hopes today

against AFC North leaderCincinnati (6-2).

We are in a tough spot,obviously, coming off fourlosses, Tannehill added. Athome, short week, a very goodopponent its a big gamefor us.

The Bengals are happilyheading in the

opposite direc-tion with fourc o n s e c u t i v ewins. Anothervictory wouldgive them a3-game lead,

which would be the biggest inany division.

Its a lot of fun to comeout and play the way wevebeen doing, quarterbackAndy Dalton said. It has beena lot of fun for the fans andeverybody thats in Cincinnatithat is rooting for us. Theres alot of pride about our team and

theres a lot of pride in thiscity. If we can keep deliveringand we can keep playing likewe have been, I think therewill be a lot of happy people.

Here are five keys to watchas the Bengals try to continuetheir streak and the Dolphinstry to end theirs:

WHO CAN GET OPEN?:

Speedy Marvin Jones set aBengals record against the Jetslast week with four touch-down catches, which is fourtimes the number he totaled asa rookie last year.

It was a breakout perfor-mance by the former fifth-round draft pick.

Jones emergence ensuresadditional headaches for adefense that must also contendwith Bengals All-Pro receiverA.J. Green.

Wildcats heading to Regional finals with OT thrillerBy Charlie Warnimont

DHI [email protected]

TIFFIN Kalida and Ottawa Hillswere involved in a defensive struggleWednesday evening.

After both teams scored a first-halfgoal, the two defenses took over thisDivision III boys soccer regional semi-final.

Playing through a scoreless second halfand one overtime period, 15 minutes sepa-rated the two teams from going throughthe penalty kick phase of the match.

However, a defensive foul on theGreen Bears gave the Wildcats an oppor-tunity to win the game on a penalty kickin overtime.

After a Kalida player was fouledgoing into the box against two GreenBear defenders, Kalida was awarded apenalty kick. Senior Ian Richey convert-ed the opportunity for the Wildcats, set-ting off a celebration as Kalida advancedin the tournament with a 2-1 win overOttawa Hills at Frost-Kalnow Stadium atColumbian High School.

The win sends Kalida (15-2-3) tothe Division III regional finals Saturday

at noon at Findlays Elmer GrahamStadium against Mansfield Christian (19-1). Mansfield Christian was a 2-1 winnerover Elyria Catholic. Ottawa Hills endsits season at 12-8.

Kalida had the ball to start the sec-ond overtime period and immediatelywent on the attack, sending a long passinto the Ottawa Hills end of the field.After a throw-in by the Green Bears, theWildcats were able to get the ball backas a Kalida player dribbled into the box,where he was tripped by an Ottawa Hillsdefender. The referee immediately sig-naled for a penalty kick to the dismay ofthe Ottawa Hills squad 36 seconds into

the second overtime.Kalida coach Mark Czubik sentRichey, a senior, up to take the shot andhe had to wait a little longer as OttawaHills goalie Jack Hylant argued aboutwhere the ball was being spotted. Oncethe referee signaled for play to resume,Richey struck the ball and snuck it pastHylant into the left corner of the net,keeping the Wildcats season going.

When you are in that situation, youhave to keep under control and I settleddown, Richey said. I just had to put itaway. The mark was about 15 yards outand I thought that was a little too far. Istepped it off and he (Hylant) didnt likethat. What he was doing didnt work. Mydad puts me in those situations, so I wasready. I can go anywhere with the ball

and I put it in the lower left corner.Czubik was confident Richey was theplayer he wanted at the PK line in thatsituation.

I wont say I knew he was going to

make it but I was pretty confident he wasgoing to make it, Czubik said. Hesdone that his entire career for me. He is afantastic, wonderful player.

While Czubik was pleased with theoutcome, he knows the call could havewent either way at that point in the con-test.

It looked like a trip to me, Czubikadded. You could play that over with10 different referees and get 10 different

opinions; he made the call. Its a toughway to lose, obviously, but were notgoing to give it back.

The goal ended a night where bothteams were unable to capitalize on thefew scoring chances they had in thecontest.

Kalida appeared to score a goal with25:13 left in the opening half when DevinKortokrax knocked in a shot. However,the Wildcats were called for a foul, negat-ing the goal.

Kalida scored with 19:22 left in thefirst half when Austin Swift knocked ina shot after getting a pass from AndrewKrouse.

Ottawa Hills tied the match with 4:52left in the half on a 35-yard shot byNick Hauck. Kalida keeper Brent Hovest

appeared to have a bead on the ball, untilit took a bad hop in front of him andglanced off his shoulder and into the net.

That would be all the scoring until thesecond overtime.

Kalida senior Ian Richey approaches a penalty kick late in the second overtime Wednesday of the Wildcats boys soc-cer Regional semifinal, while an Ottawa Hills player appeals to a higher authority. However, Richey was on target to giveKalida a 2-1 victory and advance them in the tournament. (Delphos Herald/Charlie Warnimont)

Gordon and Gustafson gunning for the leadersBy JENNA FRYER

Associated Press

CHARLOTTE, N.C. As JeffGordon crossed the finish line atMartinsville Speedway to pick up hisfirst win of the season, the chemistry wasclicking between the No. 24 crew.

You guys are awesome! Gordonscreamed on his radio. Never give up!What a fight!

Thats right, champ! replied crewchief Alan Gustafson.

The relationship wasntso rosy three months ago,when driver and crew chiefhad a talk following a 10th-place finish at New Hampshire. Gordonhad expected a win that day, at minimuma strong finish, and he failed to lead asingle lap.

I had a bad attitude and he and I hada heart-to-heart conversation afterward,and Im so proud of him for stepping up,Gordon said. The things that I said, theattitude I had, was just not the way wewere going to get ourselves into VictoryLane. To me, that turned things around.

I was like, You know what? Ivegot to go and work as hard as I can, givethese guys everything Ive got becausetheyre working their butts off and lets

pull it together. I think from that raceon, we started seeing improvement andsometimes youve got to have thosemoments, and Im proud that we did.

Gordon slowly pulled himself intocontention for the Chase for the SprintCup Championship and might have madeit in if not for late-race shenanigans byseveral different drivers in the decid-ing race at Richmond. NASCAR chair-man Brian France ultimately ruled thatGordon was unfairly affected by themanipulations and took the unprecedent-ed step of adding him to the Chase fieldas a 13th driver.

Hes made the most of his chance,slowly climbing through the standingsthrough the seven Chase races. Gordonswin on Sunday moved him into thirdplace, just 27 points behind Matt Kensethand Jimmie Johnson, who go to TexasMotor Speedway tied for the lead.

Gustafson called the post-NewHampshire talk a reset.

We said, Hey, being negative isnot going to do any good, were goingto have to go at this and be positive andfight hard and put ourselves in position

and try to win some races,Gustafson recalled.

Once France put theminto the Chase two days

before the opening race, the focus hasbeen forward.

It is a special chance to compete for achampionship at this level and you dontknow how many of those youre goingto get, Gustafson added. When wedidnt have it for a couple days, that wasone of the most terrible feelings in theworld. Were not going to squander thisopportunity.

It wont be easy to catch Kenseth andJohnson; Gordon knows he needs to racefor wins over the final three stops.

Gustafson broached splitting withGordon during their discussion but

Gordon said he believes in his crew chiefand is proud of what theyve accom-plished this season.

When youre Jeff Gordons crewchief, a lot of people like to say thingswhen things arent going well and it makesit even tougher to be in his position,Gordon added. So when things arentgoing well, the toughest thing is to see himgo through criticism or to criticize himself.When were not doing well, I can tell you,Im not questioning him, Im questioningmyself. Once he stops believing in meand I stop believing in him, then weredone. Luckily for us, that has not been the

case this year and thats why I think wevebeen able to stay so strong and come backand be where were at today.

___CONTACT SPORT: NASCAR

chairman Brian France has made it clearhe likes exciting racing and an on-trackproduct that has fans talking for days.

He got it at Martinsville Speedwayin the Truck Series race when Ty Dillonspun Kevin Harvick while the two werefighting for position late in the race.Harvick was running second at the time

and the contact from Dillon led to flaredtempers on pit road and harsh words afterthe incident.

All of that is a part of NASCAR,France said Tuesday on SiriusXMNASCAR Radio. When youre talk-ing about late in the race, listen, this isa contact sport. We have gotten whereweve gotten because were able to havethe best drivers in the world, the bestteam owners, then give them a packagethat creates the most exciting racing. Wedont always get it right but were reallyworking diligently to make sure that wedo as much as possible.

France expects that level of intensityto carry over into the final three SprintCup Series races of the season. Kensethand Johnson go into Texas this weekend

tied for the points lead, with Gordon 27points behind in third and Harvick justone point behind Gordon.

I hope the last three events go downto the wire and it looks like they will,France added. This is a very close battlegoing down to the wire and what we sawabout Martinsville, again, this is a contactsport. You are going to have times late inthe race where things are going to happen.

We expect in a truck race or anyrace, drivers with a faster car to havecontract. Thats NASCAR thats whatwere about, so I expect tight racingover the final three.

Leaders


All I am writing is do it with some class. Be professional

and act like a man, not a spoiled brat; treat your teammates thesame as you want them to treat you. Slamming your helmet isa childish act, especially when you might be just as guilty ofany breakdown as anyone else.

Also probably not a smart thing to protect your head in agame!

Instead of claiming you have no problem with it, owner/GM/director of player personnel/true coach/etc. Jerry Jonesneeds to start taking these guys to task instead of trying to betheir buddy. You are paying these guys good money that, quitefrankly, I am not sure ANY of them are truly earning.

Unless you dont give a rats rear end about your belovedBoys and want to continue this ridiculous mediocrity forAmericas Team!

By the way, I have always, always need I add always? hated that putrid moniker.

-Sometimes, good things do end up happening.It seems that NFL Hall-of-Fame wide receiver Lance

Alworth had his Super Bowl VI ring for the Cowboys 24-3win over Miami stolen 21 years ago.

Well, he finally got it back the other day.Good for him.Must be stinking nice to have this kind of money!Or get it from someone!I am referring to the approval for the Atlanta Falcons pro-

posed new stadium to replace the Georgia Dome.It seems they want to eventually demolish the Georgia

Dome what the heck is wrong with it? after they build anestimated $1.2 billion (expect that to grow to $2 billion beforeits all said and done!) multi-purpose open-air stadium in timefor the 2017 season.

Personal-seat licenses and the citys hotel-motel tax willsupposedly pay for $200 million, while the team and the NFLwill pay the rest.

Hmmmm! Think it will happen exactly that way?You wonder if this will be something to really worry

about by the powers-that-be in the NFL.I am referring to Washington Redskins safety Brandon

Meriwethers earlier comments about taking out a receiversknees instead of paying another fine and/or getting anothersuspension for a helmet-to-helmet hit.

You wonder if that is NOT on the minds of other defen-sive backs in The League because they are afraid of hittingANYONE high, even when it isnt H-to-H.

I almost cant blame them.At the same time, one of the unwritten rules of professional

football is you dont take a guys knees out and possibly endtheir careers.

In fact, any survey I have seen suggests that players preferto get hit high rather than low.

Tannehill, meanwhile, hashad trouble finding an opentarget, which helps explainhis NFL-high 32 sacks. MikeWallace, the Dolphins $60million newcomer, is onpace for career lows in yardsreceiving and touchdowns,with only one score this year.

Red Sox win WS title, beat Cards 6-1 in Game 6By RONALD BLUM

Associated Press

BOSTON There hasnt been a party like this in NewEngland for nearly a century.

Turmoil to triumph. Worst to first.David Ortiz and the Boston Red Sox, baseballs bearded won-

ders, capped their remarkable turnaround by beating the St. LouisCardinals 6-1 in Game 6 on Wednesday night to win their thirdWorld Series championship in 10 seasons.

Shane Victorino, symbolic of these resilient Sox, returned froma stiff back and got Boston rolling with a 3-run double off the GreenMonster against rookie sensation Michael Wacha.

John Lackey became the first pitcher to start and win a Seriesclincher for two different teams, allowing one run over 6 2/3innings 11 years after his Game 7 victory as an Angels rookie in2002.

With fans roaring on every pitch and camerasflashing, Koji Uehara struck out Matt Carpenterfor the final out. The Japanese pitcher jumpedinto the arms of catcher David Ross while RedSox players rushed from the dugout and bullpenas the Boston theme Dirty Water played on thepublic-address system.

And the Red Sox didnt have to fly the trophy home. For thefirst time since Babe Ruths team back in 1918, Boston won thetitle at Fenway Park. The 101-year-old ballpark, oldest in themajors, was packed with 38,447 singing, shouting fans anticipatinga celebration 95 years in the making.

There wasnt the cowboy-up comeback charm of The Idiotsfrom 2004, who swept St. Louis to end an 86-year title drought.There wasnt that cool efficiency of the 2007 team that sweptColorado.

This time, they were Boston Strong playing for a city shakenby the marathon bombings in April.

After late-season slumps in 2010 and 2011, the embarrassingrevelations of a chicken-and-beer clubhouse culture that contrib-uted to the ouster of manager Terry Francona and the daily tumultof Bobby Valentines 1-year flop, these Red Sox grew on fans.

Just like the long whiskers on the players faces, starting withJonny Gomes scruffy spring training beard.

Across the Northeast, from Connecticuts Housatonic River upto the Aroostook in Maine, Bostons eighth championship will beremembered for all the beard-yanking bonding.

Ortiz, the only player remaining from the 2004 champs, had aRuthian World Series. He batted .688 (11-for-16) with two homers,six RBIs and eight walks including four in the finale for a.760 on-base percentage in 25 plate appearances.

Even slumping Stephen Drew delivered a big hit in Game

6, sending Wachas first pitch of the fourth into the right-centerbullpen.

By the time the inning was over, RBI singles by Mike Napoliand Victorino had made it 6-0 and the Red Sox were on their way.

The win capped an emotional season for the Red Sox, oneheavy with the memory of the events that unfolded on PatriotsDay, when three people were killed and more than 260 woundedin bombing attacks at the Boston Marathon. The Red Sox woreBoston Strong logos on their left sleeves and erected a largeemblem on the Green Monster as a constant reminder.

A B Strong logo was mowed into center-field grass at Fenway.Among the players blamed for the indifferent culture at the end

of the Francona years, Lackey took the mound two days shy of thesecond anniversary of his elbow surgery and got his first Series winsince the 2002 clincher. He pitched shutout ball into the seventh,when Carlos Beltrans RBI single ended the Cardinals slump with

runners in scoring position at 0-for-14.Junichi Tazawa came in with the bases loaded

and retired Allen Craig on an inning-endinggrounder to first. Brandon Workman followed inthe eighth and Uehara finished.

St. Louis had been seeking its second titlein three seasons but the Cardinals sputtered.Symbolic of the teams struggles, reliever Trevor

Rosenthal tripped while throwing a pitch to Ortiz in the eighth,balking Dustin Pedroia to second.

Pedroia had brought back memories of Carlton Fisks 1975Game 6-winning home run, sending a first-inning drive about 10feet foul of the Green Monster foul pole and waving his left arm

once to try to urge the ball fair as he came out of the batters box.Lackey escaped a 2-on, none-out jam in the second when he

retired Matt Adams and David Freese on flyouts and, after a wildpitch, struck out Jon Jay.

Boston wasted a similar threat in the bottom half, then wentahead on the third.

Jacoby Ellsbury singled leading off and went to second onPedroias grounder. Ortiz was intentionally walked, Napoli struckout and Gomes was hit above the left elbow with a pitch, loadingthe bases.

Victorino, wearing red, white and blue spikes with an Americanflag motif, had been 0-for-10 in the Series and missed the previoustwo games with a bad back.

Dropped from second to sixth in the batting order, he took twoballs and a called strike, then turned on a 93-mph fastball and sentit high off the Green Monster, the 37-foot-high wall in left. Gomesslid home as Yadier Molina took Matt Hollidays 1-hop throw andapplied the tag, then argued with plate umpire Jim Joyce.

Victorino, pumped with emotion, went to third on the throw and
