DAVAO, Philippines(AP) — Philippine Presi-dent Rodrigo Dutertedeclared a “state of law-lessness” Saturday aftersuspected Abu Sayyafextremists detonated abomb that killed 14 peopleand wounded about 70 inhis southern hometown.Duterte, who inspected

the scene of Friday night’sattack at a night market indowntown Davao city, saidhis declaration that coversthe southern Mindanaoregion did not amount toan imposition of martiallaw. It would allow troopsto be deployed in urbancenters to back up thepolice in setting up check-points and increasingpatrols, he said.An Abu Sayyaf

spokesman, Abu Rami,claimed responsibility forthe blast near the Jesuit-run Ateneo de Davao Uni-versity and a five-starhotel, but Duterte saidinvestigators were lookingat other possible suspects,including drug syndicates,which he has targeted in abloody crackdown.“These are extraordi-

nary times and I supposedthat I’m authorized toallow the security forces ofthis country to do search-es,” Duterte told reportersat the scene of the attack,asking the public to coop-erate and be vigilant.“We’re trying to cope up

with a crisis now. There isa crisis in this countryinvolving drugs, extrajudi-cial killings and thereseems to be an environ-ment of lawless violence,”said Duterte, who servedas mayor of Davao foryears before elected to thepresidency in June.The attack came as

Philippine forces were onalert amid an ongoing mil-itary offensive against AbuSayyaf extremists insouthern Sulu province,which intensified lastweek after the militantsbeheaded a kidnapped vil-lager. The militants threat-ened to launch an unspeci-fied attack after the mili-tary said 30 of the gunmenwere killed in the week-long offensive.Some commanders of

the Abu Sayyaf, which isblacklisted by the UnitedStates and the Philippinesas a terrorist organizationfor deadly bombings, ran-som kidnappings andbeheadings, have pledgedallegiance to the IslamicState group.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) —An analysis of IndianaState Police data showsthe number of state resi-dents who hold activelicenses to carry hand-guns has grown by nearly50 percent since 2012.The Indianapolis Star

analysis also shows an

increase in the number ofHoosiers who want theoption to carry a handgunin public. The stateapproved more than 50,000carry permits in the firstthree months of the year.That’s more than half ofthe total number of per-mits approved in 2015.

The number of womenholding permits has alsoskyrocketed. By the firstquarter of 2016, more than174,000 Hoosier womenheld permits, up nearly 90percent from the roughly92,000 women who heldpermits in 2012.According to the data,

populations in rural areastend to hold more activepermits, while that num-ber falls in urban areasand college towns.Morgan County Sheriff

Robert Downey said hisrural area is low on crime,but carry permits have apublic safety utility.

“We may be 15 to 20 min-utes away in the worst casescenario,” he said, referenc-ing law enforcementresponse times.Authorities say applica-

tions for permits tend tospike after mass shootingsand ensuing talk about guncontrol.

By JOSH LEDERMANAssociated PressHONOLULU — Opening his

final trip to Asia, PresidentBarack Obama is expected to joinChinese leader Xi Jinping inannouncing their countries areformally taking part in a historicglobal climate deal. Yet thornierissues like maritime disputes andcybersecurity shadow Obama’svisit.The president departed Friday

for Hangzhou, China, where hewill meet on Saturday with Xiahead of a summit of the Groupof 20, a collection of industrialand emerging-market nations.Environmental groups andexperts tracking global climatepolicy said they expected the twoleaders would jointly enter thesweeping emissions-cutting dealreached last year in Paris. Unlike-ly partners on addressing globalwarming, the U.S. and China have

sought to use their collaborationto ramp up pressure on othercountries to take concrete actionas well.Entering the climate agree-

ment has been an intricate exer-cise in diplomatic choreography.As Obama crossed the Pacific, thestate-run Xinhua News Agencyreported China’s legislature hadvoted to formally enter the agree-ment. The White Houseannounced Obama would speakabout climate change shortlyafter landing in the eastern city.The deal was reached in

December, and the U.S., Chinaand many others signed it inApril, on Earth Day. Even thethird step — formally participat-ing in the deal — doesn’t bring itinto force in the U.S. or China.That won’t happen until a criticalmass of polluting countries joins.Aiming to build on previous

cooperation, the U.S. and China

have also been discussing a glob-al agreement on aviation emis-sions, though there’s some dis-agreement about what obliga-tions developing countriesshould face in the first years. Theaviation issue is expected to beon the agenda for Obama’s meet-ing with Xi, along with ongoingefforts to phase out hydrofluoro-carbons, another greenhousegas.The alliance on climate has

been a rare bright spot betweenthe U.S. and China in recentyears, a relationship otherwisecharacterized by tensions overChina’s emergence as a key glob-al power. Washington has beendeeply concerned about China’sterritorial ambitions in watersfar off its coast, while Beijinglooks warily at Obama’s efforts toexpand U.S. influence in Asia,viewing it as an attempt to con-tain China’s rise.

Continued from page 1“We are touching a lot of lives

in every corner of this county,”said Vicki Tague, who is co-chair-ing the campaign with CindyDenney. “Every community inthis county is touched by theUnited Way.“We have a lot of new members

on the cabinet this year and thosenew members, along with somemembers that have been with usfor a while, are bringing a lot ofexcitement to this campaign. Sowe’re really looking forward to agreat campaign with a lot of par-ticipation for the community.”

Friday’s kickoff of the cam-paign, which is themed “Youcan do Magic,” included toss-ing T-shirts and mini footballsto the fans in the stands.Organizations participating

in the Pacesetter campaignhave already made $39,703 inpledges toward the campaigngoal. They include MainSourceBank, Jay County REMC,Moser Engineering, Perform-ance Tool, POET Biorefining,The Graphic Printing Compa-ny, First Merchants Bank andJay School Corporation.

That number is nearly$12,000 more than in 2015.“It makes me feel really good,”

said United Way of Jay Countyexecutive director Jane AnnRunyon of the increase, “and Ithink it’ll make our cabinetwant to get out and work thatmuch harder.” United Way of Jay County has

set a fundraising goal of$175,000, the same as for 2015. Inprevious years it had been$200,000, but Runyon noted thata decision was made to adjust itafter losing some major donors.The 2015 campaign brought in

$166,170 — 94 percent of its goal— following a $190,253 campaignin 2014.“We lost Hartzell Fan. That

was about a $20,000 campaign,”said Runyon of the companythat shut down its Portland site.“And we actually had anotherindustry that did not do anemployee campaign last year.When you lose $40,000, there’snot place to go get it. It’s hard tofind it.“I would rather hit the goal, or

maybe go over, than set it so highthat we can’t reach it.”Other members of the cam-

DEAR ABBY: My husbandand I have three children.Before we were married, we dis-cussed that I wanted a big fami-ly. He said he didn’t want kids atall. This didn’t bother mebecause I had been told I wouldnever be able to have children.We ended up not only havingone “surprise” baby, but three. My dilemma is I desperately

want to have more children. Myhusband has not only said no —he’s said HELL no, over his deadbody. Then he got a vasectomy. Ifeel I’m between a rock and ahard place. I am consideringgoing through a sperm bank.What is your advice? — MOMOF SURPRISE BABIESDDEEAARR MMOOMM:: YYoouu kknneeww bbeeffoorree

funeral and had a conversationwith my cousin, who said hewas concerned about possibledementia in his mother because— among other things — shehad asked him about his oldersister.

One of themworked on his motorcycle andtruck; the other rebuilt anantique truck from the groundup. Both created excessive noise

with their projects. One of the men eventually

moved his bed into the garageand, not surprisingly, the mar-riage ended in divorce. The sec-ond man spends more time withhis youngest son (who also staysin the garage most of the time)than with his wife. Have your other readers made

By KARIN BRULLIARDThe Washington Post Your dog gets you. I

mean, he really gets you.No, really — he actually

does. So say scientists inHungary, who have pub-lished a groundbreakingstudy that found dogsunderstand both the mean-ing of words and the into-nation used to speak them.Put simply: Even if youuse a very excited tone ofvoice to tell the dog he’sgoing to the vet, he’ll prob-ably see through you andbe bummed about going.It had already been

established that dogsrespond to human voicesbetter than their wolfbrethren, are able to matchhundreds of objects towords, and can be directedby human speech. But thenew findings mean dogsare more like humans thanwas previously known:They process languageusing the same regions of

the brain as people, accord-ing to the researchers,whose paper was pub-lished in Science.To determine this, Attila

Andics and colleagues atEötvös Loránd University

in Budapest recruited 13family dogs — mostly gold-en retrievers and bordercollies — and trained themto sit totally still for sevenminutes in an fMRI scan-ner that measured their

brain activity. (The pupswere not restrained, andthey “could leave the scan-ner at any time,” theauthors assured.)A female trainer famil-

iar to the dogs then spoke

words of praise that alltheir owners said theyused — “that’s it,” “clever,”and “well done” — andneutral words such as“yet” and “if,” which theresearchers believed weremeaningless to the ani-mals. Each dog heard eachword in both a neutral toneand a happy, atta-boy tone.Using the brain activity

images, the researcherssaw that the dogsprocessed the familiarwords regardless of into-nation, and they did sousing the left hemisphere,just like humans. Tone, onthe other hand, was ana-lyzed in the auditoryregions of the right hemi-sphere — just as it is inpeople, the study said.And finally, they saw that

the dogs’ “rewards center”— which is stimulated bypleasant things such as pet-ting and food and sex — didthe brain equivalent ofjumping and yelping when

positive words were spokenin a positive tone.“It shows that for dogs, a

nice praise can very wellwork as a reward, but itworks best if both wordsand intonation match,”Andics said in a statement.“So dogs not only tell apartwhat we say and how wesay it, but they can alsocombine the two, for a cor-rect interpretation of whatthose words really meant.”The researchers said it’s

unlikely that human selec-tion of dogs during theirdomestication, whichoccurred at least 15,000years ago, could have led tothis sort of brain function;instead, they say, it’s proba-bly far more ancient.That means we aren’t as

special as we like to think,at least when it comes tohow our brains deal withlanguage. What makeswords uniquely human,Andics said, is that wecame up with using them.

Study finds that dogs understand words

By NATHAN RUBBELKEThe Commercial Review What the heck is a Hoosier? If like me, you tried getting an

answer to that puzzling questionat last week’s Tri-State GasEngine and Tractor AssociationShow, you probably came upshort. An informal survey of nearly a

dozen folks at Jay County Fair-grounds brought no definitiveconclusion. “I don’t know how to explain

it,” Wayne from Berne told me. “It’s somebody from Indiana,”

the next guy said. Other answers were similarly

unhelpful.Dave from Muncie admitted he

had “no idea” while Beth, a long-time Indiana transplant from Illi-nois, realized she’s never figuredout the moniker’s meaning. When asked, a Michigan

woman referenced the IndianaUniversity Hoosiers while Edfrom Fort Loramie, Ohio, bluntly

described Hoosiers as “our neigh-bors.” However, the surveying wasn’t

a complete wash. A few substan-tive answers were sprinkled inamongst the others. Cathy from Rushville said the

term goes back to people shout-ing, “who’s you?” on the farmyears ago. Somehow, it meldedinto “hoosier.” One man told me the term

comes from a guy who owned alarge portion of land, referred toas “Hoosier’s land.” Yet, he alsomentioned a tale that someone’sear was cut off in a bar and peo-ple yelled “whose ear?”

Some quick online searchesdebunk those legends, but alsoprovide no hard truths. Informational web pages from

Indiana Historical Society andIndiana Historical Bureau notethe term “hoosier” gained wideuse in the 1830s, but the term’sdefinitive origins remain elusive. With an unclear history, one

can’t blame those at the fair-grounds for their incompleteanswers. However, none matchedthe definition of hoosier I learnedduring my years in St. Louis. Under the arch, there’s a dis-

tinctive meaning attached to theterm. Urban Dictionary, the crowd-

sourced internet repository forslang terms, defines it candidly. “Hoosier — St. Louis Meaning:

white trash of the worst kind.Also used as an adjective todescribe anything several notch-es below your own perceivedsophistication,” reads the web-site.

A 1990 article from the ChicagoTribune describes the term as a“time-honored St. Louis insultthat can be applied as almost anypart of speech.” Here’s an example:A few weeks before I left for

Indiana, my cousin used the termat a family function. He was telling the story of a

guy whose guns fell out of an oldbeat up van. The guy, who hedescribed as having few teeth, ranonto the road to retrieve his guns. “What a hoosier,” my cousin

said. Tracing back the roots of such

usage in St. Louis yields just asfew results as the term’s genesisin Indiana. It’s unclear how or why

“hoosier” became a derogatoryterm back home.But after three months in Indi-

ana, I can now say its use is mis-taken. I’ve realized I didn’t need to go

to the fairgrounds to mine the

meaning of hoosier. My threemonths in Jay County have toldme plenty. What the heck is a Hoosier?It’s a newspaper reader ask-

ing, “are you the new guy at TheCommercial Review?” and pro-ceeding to give me a warm wel-come to town. It’s the neighbors who, when I

moved in, told me to stop by any-time I needed something. Sureenough, when my car needed ajump start, they were there tohelp. It’s sources and local officials

who don’t just give informationneeded for stories, but also takea genuine interest in my ownstory and my path to Indiana. Those are just a few of a

dozen examples I can provide.They send a strong messageback to St. Louis. Next time Ivisit home, I’ll have to pass italong.There’s absolutely no shame

in being a Hoosier.

What exactly is a Hoosier anyway?Off andRunning

Bloomberg View Barack Obama and Xi

Jinping have obvious dis-agreements over how tohandle North Korea’s illicitweapons program. China is angry about U.S.

plans to deploy advancedmissile defenses in SouthKorea to counter thethreat, while Obama facespressure to sanction Chi-nese banks and companiesthat help sustain Kim JongUn’s nuclear ambitions.But the two presidents

still have plenty of room tocooperate on this issue, ifthey can zero in on actionsthat are in both countries’interests.North Korea’s successful

recent launch of a sea-based ballistic missile isdepressing proof that thecountry continues toimprove its weapons sys-tems, despite the punishingadditional sanctions thatthe United Nationsimposed in March. And itis indeed tempting toblame China.Yet the evidence that

China isn’t upholding themost recent sanctions is, atbest, mixed; along the bor-der, there are as manysigns that China’s long-standing commercial tieswith the North have frayed.While violations no doubtcontinue, at least some ofthem are probably due tolocal officials’ ignoringcentral government diktats— an all-too-familiar prob-lem.In any case, it’s unrealis-

tic to expect China tosqueeze Kim hard enoughto cause the North Koreanregime to collapse. That’ssimply not in China’s inter-ests. Yet China does sharethe U.S. desire to preventkey nuclear and ballistic-missile technology fromreaching the North.The bad news, as new

research points out, is thatNorth Korea has recruitedmore sophisticated andcapable Chinese middle-men to source and deliversuch so-called dual-usetechnology. Rather thantravel back and forthacross the border, NorthKorean agents now live inChina and work almostentirely through theseintermediaries, using Chi-nese banks.The good news is that

this in theory makes it eas-ier to disrupt the agents’operations. Rather thandemand that Chinese lead-ers abandon Kim’s regime,the U.S. should press them

to rein in these middlemenas energetically as theywould any other citizenswho defy their authority.Xi’s busy anti-corruptioninvestigators could expandtheir campaign to borderareas to pursue bank offi-cials, customs agents andothers involved in the illic-it weapons trade. Directingsting operations at counter-feiters and drug dealerscould address a domesticlaw-and-order problem, aswell as cut off some of theNorth’s sources of hardcash. Stronger signalingfrom Beijing could help dis-courage businessmen whomight be tempted by NorthKorean money.If the U.S. were to black-

list a Chinese bank or com-pany, it would be better tofirst consult quietly withChinese leaders, to preventneedless friction betweenthe two countries. Othergestures might be moreproductive: The U.S. couldoffer to bolster China’sability to inspect cargo atports near the border andto track ship traffic to andfrom North Korea. Ameri-can officials would want tosimultaneously do more tohelp Southeast Asian gov-ernments monitor NorthKorean agents operating intheir countries, so theweapons trade doesn’t justmove south.China may be in no mood

to cooperate. But if its lead-ers really want to under-mine the case for missiledefense, they’d be wise todo all they can to makesure Kim’s missiles don’twork.

U.S., China canwork together

By JENNIFER RUBINThe Washington PostWhile Donald Trump sends mil-

lions of Americans fleeing the GOP,Hillary Clinton scoops up moreendorsements of the type Republi-can nominees usually enjoy. TheClinton camp announced endorse-ments from two retired four-star gen-erals, Bob Sennewald (former com-manding general, U.S. Army ForcesCommand) and David Maddox (for-mer commander in chief of the U.S.Army in Europe).In a joint statement they said,

“Having each served over 34 yearsand retired as an Army 4-star gener-al, we each have worked closely withAmerica’s strongest allies, both inNATO and throughout Asia.” Theyexplained, “Our votes have alwaysbeen private, and neither of us hasever previously lent his name orvoice to a presidential candidate.”They nevertheless announced, “Hav-ing studied what is at stake for thiscountry and the alternatives we havenow, we see only one viable leader,and will be voting this November forSecretary Hillary Clinton.”The endorsements follow Clinton’s

hawkish speech at the AmericanLegion Wednesday and Trump’s con-fusing and meek appearance in Mex-ico. As to the latter, former Mexicanpresident Vicente Fox chided Trump,“He comes to Mexico, he plays atotally different music, very diplo-matic. … And he comes back to thestates and then he comes back to hisnow very old message.” He added,“We are not going to pay for that Fwall. … It’s a crazy idea. … No wayMexico is going to pay for it.” Trumpseems not to understand that one

cannot say something to a foreignleader in the morning, somethingtotally different a few hours laterand expect not to cause a diplomaticflap.Trump’s behavior in his sole trip

to meet a head of state — even hisspokesman’s statement suggestedthat Trump was misleading aboutwhether payment of the wall wasraised — only underscored Clinton’spoint. “You don’t build a coalition byinsulting our friends or acting like aloose cannon. You do it by putting inthe slow, hard work of building rela-tionships,” she cautioned Wednes-day. “Getting countries workingtogether was my job every day asyour secretary of state. It’s morethan a photo op. It takes consistencyand reliability.” She was slightly offin one regard when she said: “Peoplehave to get to know that they cancount on you; that you won’t say onething one day and something totallydifferent the next.” Actually, withTrump, it was only a matter of hoursand a short plane trip before heshowed his true colors.Likewise, when Trump declares,

as he did in Arizona last night, that itwas a mistake to take refugees fromtwo allied countries, Iraq andAfghanistan, and insists on“extreme vetting” of Muslim appli-

cants, including quizzing them ontheir views on “respect for womenand gays and minorities” (a testmany think Trump would fail), heonce again risks inflaming the veryMuslim allies we need to defeat theIslamic State. He also manages tooffend loyal American Muslimswhose cooperation law enforcementrelies upon to detect lone wolves andgroups of plotters.Judging from her latest ad, Clinton

will continue pounding away at thetheme that Trump himself is a riskto American security and standingin the world — someone who enragesand confuses allies and denigratesour military:So far, a slew of former military

and civilian foreign-policy guruswho would normally be advising theRepublican nominee are now sign-ing on with Clinton. Whether thattranslates into actual votes remainsan open question. Nevertheless, withonly 79 percent of Republicans sup-porting him, according to the latestFox News poll, it does appear that anunusually high percentage of Repub-licans cannot bring themselves tovote for Trump.Each vote taken out of Trump’s

column moves Clinton one step clos-er to the White House, and if she canactually get those Republicans —enthusiastically or not — to castvotes for her, she will go a long waytoward running up the electoral votescore in November.

Correlation foundA study by an assistant

professor of sociology at

Columbia University hasfound a correlationbetween the worst Wal-mart stores and low-income minority commu-nities.The study evaluated

Box score

Continued from page 10Another Raider punt led to the

play of the game — a reverse pass.Quarterback Holton Hill took thesnap and handed off to Stigleman,who ran left before flipping theball to Parker Grimes. The sopho-more back-up quarterback hadlined up at receiver, and instead ofcontinuing the reverse run heturned his attention downfield.Bryan Stancliffe was left all alonebehind the defense, and Grimeshit him for a 46-yard gain to the 5-yard line. Two plays later,Geesaman scored again for a 20-0lead.Southern Wells (1-2, 0-1 ACAC)

was unable run out the remaining1:37 of the half, giving the ball

back to JCHS on a fumble with 51seconds to go. The home teamneeded just two plays, asSchlechty ran 37 yards for the firstof his three touchdowns.Schlechty added two more TDs

— 2 and 1 yards — to go along witha 42-yard run in the second half ashe led the way with 163 yards on 12carries. Stigleman had six carriesof 10 yards or more as he scoredtwice and totaled 143 yards and 15attempts, and Geesaman finishedwith 11 rushes for 102 yards.“One of the things that we’ve

struggled a little bit with is main-taining and controlling the line ofscrimmage, and we’ve challengedour offensive line a lot the last cou-ple weeks and I was very, very

pleased with the way they played,”said Millspaugh. “Some of thoseholes were pretty large. I think Icould have run through them, andthat’s saying something.”Southern Wells got its only big

play of the game on a 62-yard scor-ing run by Briar Beeks on theopening drive of the second halfwhen he broke a tackle in thebackfield and then outran thePatriot secondary. Beeks finishedwith 126 yards on 18 carries andthe Raiders gained 280 yards onthe ground in all, but were hurt bylosing four fumbles.The visitors also committed

seven penalties for 49 yards.“The biggest thing is the stuff

that we can control — putting the

ball on the ground, offsides, allthat stuff,” said Southern Wellscoach Steve Yencer. “We’ve got toclear up all that stuff before weeven worry about anything else.“That’s the biggest concern

with the young team that we have.We just have to execute better andcontrol the things that we can.”Jay County’s three-headed rush-

ing attack led it to 472 total yardswhile Ethan Theurer racked up 16tackles to pace a defense that hasallowed a combined 20 points inthe last two games.The Patriots will travel Friday

to Adams Central to take on theundefeated Flying Jets, who areconsidered a favorite for the ACACtitle.

Continued from page 10Teeter then found Cameron

Cook on a 43-yard touchdown passwith 28 seconds left in the half,then scored from the 5-yard line 17seconds later for a commanding49-0 Starfire lead at halftime.Groh had 60 yards on six car-

ries, Teeter rushed the ball five

times for 63 yards and Baumgart-ner totaled 28 yards on five car-ries. Joe Stuber, who scored late inthe first quarter, led all playerswith 90 yards on eight carries. Hisbrother Nick also found the endzone during the third quarter andfinished with 66 yards on sevencarries.

South Adams racked up 454total yards — 334 on the ground —compared to just 28 total yards forBluffton (1-2, 0-1 ACAC). Teetercompleted five of his six passattempts for 120 yards. Eleven Tigers rushed the ball,

led by Brandon Lockwood’s 11yards on seven carries. Quarter-

back Timmy Davis was 2-for-7passing for 16 yards. The Tigers lost one of their

four fumbles.South Adams travels to Mon-

roeville on Friday to meet theHeritage Patriots, who lost toClass 2A No. 2 Woodlan 45-10.Bluffton hosts Woodlan.

Continued from page 10Homan joined Martin by

eclipsing the century mark,rushing for 115 yards on 14carries. He made his pres-ence known on the defen-sive side of the ball too,making seven tackles, mostof which were hard hits onFort Loramie running backJake Ward. Late in thequarter, Homan hit Ward sohard it knocked his mouth-piece out, and the Redskinsenior was slow getting tohis feet. “Their style of offense

makes you use all 11 guys tostop the run,” saidNiekamp. Ward carried theball 33 times for 179 yards, abig chunk of which was a60-yard run around theright edge on the first playfrom scrimmage.“Those guys had to be

disciplined, make theirread and come in and filltheir alley hard,” Niekampsaid of the defense.

“(Homan) did a good job ofthat.”Following Ward’s big

play that got the Redskinsto the Fort Recovery 17, afalse start, a facemask andblock in the back penaltypushed Fort Loramie backto the 25-yard line. Thedrive stalled there whenRoessner picked off aNathan Raterman pass inthe end zone.Fort Recovery’s defense

buckled down after that, asFort Loramie only gained61 yards the remainder ofthe game.Curt Grube led the Indi-

ans with 11 tackles andAndrew Stocker was sec-ond with nine including 11/2 in the backfield.“One thing we always

preach is … you can’t let abig play become a score,”Niekamp said. Fort Recov-ery’s backside corner DavisWill chased down Ward pre-venting him from reaching

the end zone. “You have gotto believe that if you can

get him down and makethem run a few more plays

that we can stop them andwe did that.”

By CHRIS SCHANZThe Commercial ReviewFORT RECOVERY —

The Indians needed twodrives to get the offensegoing.Once they did, the Red-

skins had no answer.Caleb Martin threw for

two touchdowns and ranfor two more, led the Tribeto 500 yards of totaloffense and the defensesettled down after one bigplay as the Fort RecoveryHigh School football teamshut out the Fort LoramieRedskins on Friday night,32-0.“We struggled to get

stuff going in the firstquarter,” said Martin,who threw, ran and caughtthe football. The Universi-ty of Toledo commit was10-for-18 passing for 230yards, rushed five timesfor 123 more and caught a18-yard pass from runningback Will Homan. “After that we picked it

up and started trusting(the offense) more,” hesaid. “Things really paidoff.”Brent Niekamp, whose

team is 2-0 and opens Mid-west Athletic Conferenceplay Friday at homeagainst the Parkway Pan-thers, said his team stillhas a ways to go despitethe shutout.“We’re still learning in

a lot of positions,” hesaid. “I felt like our guysdid a good job of adjustingto the pace of the game,figuring things out andcontinuing to work andmake plays throughoutthe course of the game.“Eventually good things

will happen if you can dothat.”The first such occur-

rence was on the Tribe’sthird drive of the game,when Martin connectedwith sophomore DerekSiefring for a 52-yardtouchdown. Siefring ran apost over the middle ofthe field and a FortLoramie defender felldown at the 27-yard line,leaving the 6-foot, 3-inch,receiver wide open andable to trot into the endzone.Martin connected with

Homan for a 72-yard pass

on fourth-and-10 from theFort Recovery 12, but itwas called back becauseof a penalty. Ethan Schoencaught a Martin pass for35 yards to get the Indiansinto the red zone, andHoman scored his lonetouchdown from the 3-yard line three plays later.From there, Martin did

the rest. He scampered 52 yards

for his first rushing touch-down to make it 20-0 Indi-ans, found Jason Roessneron a 19-yard post route fora 26-0 Tribe lead, thenturned on the jets for a 67-yard TD run early in thefourth quarter to cap thescoring.“First, I was looking for

Will down the sideline,”Martin said of his pro-gression on the pass playhe turned into the 52-yardtouchdown.But Homan wasn’t

open.“Then Payton Jutte on

the post route,” he contin-ued. “It opened up in themiddle so I figured I’d takeit.”

By RAY COONEYThe Commercial ReviewAfter being pushed back for

negative rushing yards in theopener, the Patriot offensivelineman were issued a chal-lenge.They needed to a better job of

controlling the line of scrim-mage.They improved in a week-two

win over Blackford, and thenbroke open holes that allowedRyan Schlechty, Cole Stiglemanand Jacob Geesaman to runwild Friday night.Each of the three Jay County

High School running backs sur-passed the 100-yard mark, withSchlechty finding the end zonethree times in a 40-12 victoryover the visiting SouthernWells Raiders.It was a key game for the

Patriots, who could have had awinning regular season a yearago if not for blowing a double-digit halftime lead in Poneto.“It said, ‘Revenge game,’”

said JCHS coach TimMillspaugh of his scoutingreport this week. “Because wewere up 12 points at halftime.And things were going reallywell …“And then we turned the ball

over a lot and they did not. Theytook care of it and they turnedour turnovers into points andbeat us.

“We talked about that allweek. This is a really, really biggame for us. Our kids knew it,and I thought they did a reallynice job of executing to give us achance to win the ball game.”Jay County (2-1, 1-0 Allen

County Athletic Conference)

got on the board first midwaythrough the opening quarter,but it wasn’t until late in thesecond that it took control.The Patriots started their

scoring blitz after SouthernWells shanked a punt that rolledbackward beyond the line of

scrimmage before Ivan Hem-melgan picked it up andreturned it to the JCHS 46-yardline. Stigleman busted a 38-yardrun on the first play of the ensu-ing drive, and Geesaman was inthe end zone two plays later.
