Eagles to host
health screenings
Delphos residents will have
the opportunity to be screened
for P.A.D. as well as stroke
and other vascular diseases on
Nov. 10.
In addition, a new disease
risk assessment that predicts
an individual’s risk for devel-
oping 6 major chronic condi-
tions in the next 5 years is
also available. This patented
assessment is being used on
the “Biggest Loser” and is
designed for persons 21 and
older. The “Know Your 5”
screening as seen on the Dr.
Oz show will also be available
that day.
These ultrasound screen-
ings are recommended for
anyone 50 and older or 40 and
older with cardiovascular risk
factors. One in 15 people over
the age of 55 have P.A.D. and
by age 70, that number is 1 in
5. These screenings are non-
invasive, painless, safe (with
no radiation) and affordable.
Allow 60 to 90 minutes to
complete.
The results, which are
mailed directly to participants,
will help them and their doc-
tor protect their health.

tions/dates or to schedule an

Haiti wants
evacuated ahead of storm
By JONATHAN M. KATZ
The Associated Press
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti
— It was the jewel of Haiti’s
post-earthquake recovery: an
organized relocation camp
with thousands of tents billed
as hurricane-resistant, lined up
in neat rows on graded moun-
tain soil.
Now, staring down an
expected hit later this week
from a hurricane, officials say
Corail-Cesselesse is not safe.
On Tuesday, the government
advised the estimated 7,850
residents of its primary reloca-
tion camp to ride out the storm
somewhere else.
“We’re asking people in
Corail to voluntarily move
from where they are and go to
the houses of family or friends.
The places the government has
identified are churches and
schools that are available for
shelter from the storm,” Haiti
civil protection official Abel
Nazaire told The Associated
Press.
Camp managers held a
“loudspeaker meeting” with
megaphones to tell resi-
dents about the evacuation
order, said Bryant Castro, the
American Refugee Committee
staffer managing the camp.
Residents were told to seek
any home they could find and
are expected to start leaving as
soon today.

US judge: no Argentine extradition in killings
BY CURT ANDERSON
The Associated Press
MIAMI — A federal judge
has denied Argentina’s extradi-
tion request for a former mili-
tary officer accused of taking
part in a 1972 massacre of left-
ist guerrillas in his homeland.
The decision released
Tuesday means, for now, that
Roberto Bravo will not be
returned to Argentina to face 16
murder charges arising from the
killings at a military base near
the southern Argentine city of
Trelew.
U.S. prosecutors said no
decision had been made on a
possible appeal.
U.S. Magistrate Judge
Robert Dube ruled there are
doubts about “the credibility,
reliability and truthfulness” of
VAN WERT COURT NEWS
Two individuals went to
prison Tuesday after appear-
ing before Judge Charles D.
Steele in Van Wert County
Common Pleas Court on vio-
lations of community control
and a treatment program vio-
lation.
Haley J. Moser, 20, Van
Wert, who had originally
entered guilty pleas to two
counts of possession of drugs
and then was placed in an
intervention program for drug
rehabilitation was sent to pris-
on for 10 months for violating
the treatment program.
Moser went into a long
dissertation as to how she has
realized that she has a serious
drug problem and how she
had plans to go to school and
turn her life around. Judge
Steele didn’t buy into her plan
that she put forth and advised
her that she had an attitude
problem. Judge Steele told her
that he had been made aware
that she had caused numerous
problems at the jail and had
even provided another inmate
some of her prescription med-
ication.
Judge Steele gave her cred-
it for 73 days for which she
had spent in jail on the origi-
nal charges.
Jason Grunden, 30, Van
Wert, was sent to prison for
12 months on a charge of vio-
lating his community control

For The Record
major camp Blast
with maximum sustained
winds near 35 mph (55 kph).
“This short-term trend is
sort of baffling at this point,”
said Dave Roberts, hurricane
specialist at National Hurricane
Center in Miami. “We expect-
ed it to at least maintain tropi-
cal storm strength, but it really
has weakened considerably.”
The depression, which the
hurricane center described
as being disorganized, was
located about 410 miles (660
kilometers) southwest of Port-
au-Prince, Haiti, and moving
west-northwest near 5 mph (7
kph).
Forecasters predicted it will
veer north toward Haiti and
slow in its forward movement.
The forecast said Tomas was
likely to strengthen over the
next 48 hours, and could regain
hurricane strength by Friday.
A hurricane watch was issued
for Jamaica, and the center
said the storm could dump up
to 8 inches (20 centimeters)
of rain on Aruba, Bonaire and
Curacao.
“The models are still sug-
gesting that this system will
re-intensify later tonight
or into the Thursday-Friday
time frame as it approaches
the Windward Passage, Haiti
coastline,” Roberts said early
today.
Tomas has already killed
at least 14 people and left
seven missing in the eastern
Caribbean nation of St. Lucia,
where it caused more than $37
million in damage. In nearby
statements made by three survi-
vors shortly after the shootings.
The three died in the 1970s,
Dube noted, and “there has
never been any way to test their
allegations or subject them to
cross-examination.”
Dube also ruled that Bravo,
now 68, had been cleared by
a military investigation at the
time and said he is covered by
an Argentine amnesty law that
applies to events prior to 1973,
including the Trelew shootings.
Argentina’s human rights
office said Tuesday that it was
aware of the ruling, and had no
immediate comment.
According to the deci-
sion, the judge also found that
Bravo’s actions could be justi-
fied because they occurred as
part of a political disturbance
— an attempt by leftist guerril-
required.
Judge Steele gave Grunden
credit of 41 days of time he
served on the original charge.
Theodore Bleeke, 25, Van
Wert, was resentenced to five
years of community control
and ordered held in jail for up
to 12 months or until he could
enter the Elvis House program
in Columbus, which is a sex
offender program.
Bleeke had violated the
terms of his community con-
trol by having in his posses-
sion pornographic material.
Assistant Prosecuting
Attorney Kevin Taylor asked
the court to keep Bleeke in
jail for the safety of the com-
munity.
Bleeke had originally been
indicted on charges of dis-
seminating matter harmful to
juveniles and the illegal use
of minors in nudity-oriented
material or performance.
Dan J. Swoveland, 56,
Ohio City, was placed on one
year of community control on
a charge of domestic violence,
a misdemeanor of the first
degree.
Swoveland allegedly
caused or attempted to cause
harm to his wife on July 14 at
their home.
Judge Steele also gave
Swoveland a 180-day jail sen-
tence and a fine of $1,000
with the imposition of the jail
and fine being deferred pend-
ing the successful completion
of the community control pro-
gram.

Delphos,
St. Vincent, the storm wrecked
more than 1,200 homes and
caused nearly $24 million in
damages to crops, especially
bananas — one of St. Vincent’s
top commodities.
It would be the first big
storm to strike Haiti since the
Jan. 12 earthquake killed as
many as 300,000 people and
forced millions from their
homes. It would also be the
first tropical storm or hurri-
cane to hit since 2008, when
Fay, Gustav, Hanna and Ike
battered Haiti in the space of
a month, killing nearly 800
people and wiping out 15 per-
cent of the economy.
If it follows its predicted
track it could hit every major
Haitian city including Port-au-
Prince, Les Cayes, Gonaives
and Cap-Haitien. The U.N.
Office for the Coordination
of Humanitarian Affairs said
rainfall of up to 5 inches (13
centimeters) could cause cata-
strophic floods in the severely
deforested country.
Aid workers are scrambling
to prepare but are badly short of
supplies including shelter mate-
rial because of the responses
already under way to deal with
the aftermath of the earthquake
and an unprecedented cholera
outbreak that has killed more

ized more than 4,700.

“Because extradition
requests are usually granted,
this is a significant legal vic-
tory,” said Bravo’s attorney,
Neal Sonnett, in a statement.
“More important, however, is
that it will allow Roberto Bravo
to close this unfortunate chapter
and resume his life.”
Bravo, formerly a lieutenant
in the Argentine navy, has lived
in South Florida since 1973 and

morning — prompting some
scientists to say pressure inside
the crater was easing.
The danger zone was wid-
ened from 10 kilometers (six
miles) from the glowing crater
to 15 (9) because of the height-
ened threat. Soldiers and police
blocked all roads leading up
the mountain, shooing away
television crews and reporters.
“I (didn’t) think of anything
else except to save my wife
and son. We left my house
and everything,” said Tentrem
Wahono, 50, who lives in
Kaliurang village, about 10
kilometers (6 miles) from the
peak.
He and his family fled on
a motorbike, “racing with the
explosive sounds as the searing
ash chased us from behind.”
The last eruption has raised
Merapi’s status to “crisis” con-
dition, said Andi Arief, a spe-
cial staff at the presidential
office dealing with disaster and
social assistance.
Merapi, one of the world’s
most active volcanoes, has
erupted many times in the
last century, killing more than
1,400 people.
Indonesia, a vast archi-
pelago of 235 million people,
is prone to earthquakes and
volcanos because it sits along
the Pacific “Ring of Fire,” a
horseshoe-shaped string of
faults that lines the Pacific.
As a reminder of that, a
6.0-magnitude quake hit
waters off the eastern province
of Papua this evening, rattling
several villages but causing no
known damage or casualties.
The volcano’s initial blast
on Oct. 26 occurred less than
24 hours after a towering tsu-
nami slammed into remote
islands on the western end of
the country, sweeping entire
villages to sea and killing at
In both cases, relief opera-
tions are expected to take
weeks, possibly months.
More than 800 miles (1,300
kilometers) west of the volcano,
helicopters and boats were deliv-
ering aid to tsunami survivors
in the most distant Mentawai
islands, which lies almost direct-
ly over the fault that spawned

COLUMBUS — dents. Suburban residents and
Republican John Kasich won
big among Ohio’s indepen-
dents and conservatives and
whittled away a sizable chunk
of Democratic incumbent
Gov. Ted Strickland’s sup-
porters from four years ago to
capture the state’s governor’s
race.
Ohio’s lousy economy
played a big role in why
Strickland lost after winning
in 2006 with the promise of
turning around the state’s job
situation.
Kasich beat Strickland
among those who think the
country is going in the wrong
direction and are worried about
the direction of the economy
in the coming year, according
to preliminary exit poll results
for The Associated Press.
Kasich, a believer in
smaller government and lower
taxes, had a slight edge among
those who called the economy
the nation’s most pressing
issue.
The former Fox News
commentator who says his
political views were like the
“tea party before there was
a tea party,” won four out of
five votes from people who
call themselves tea party sup-
porters.
Roughly 4 in 10 Ohio vot-
ers consider themselves con-
servative.
Strickland won easily four
years ago so it’s no surprise
his support dropped among
several groups in this year’s
close race.

Voters carry anxiety, rage to the polls
By ERIN McCLAM
The Associated Press
The millions of Americans
voting in midterm elections
Tuesday were not always
sure what they wanted, or
even whom. But many knew
they were unhappy — uneasy
about the economy, frustrat-
ed with the direction of the
country and dissatisfied with
politics.
On an Election Day that
seemed a long way from
2008, disappointment was
the theme.
“I’d like to find somebody
to blame,” said Kimberly
Abrudan, a customer service
manager who had voted at
a Delaware charter school
for Democrat Chris Coons
for Senate. “It would make
things a lot easier. But I’m
not convinced that it’s any
one man.”
Abrudan said she voted
for Barack Obama and felt
let down that he had not been
able to bridge the partisan
divide and bring Americans
— Pliny the Elder, Roman scholar.
He saw huge losses this
time around among voters
65 or older and indepen-
wealthy voters also abandoned
the governor in his re-election
bid.
Women and middle-
income voters — swing
groups that Strickland won
by a large margin in 2006 —
were roughly divided between
the two.
Strickland and Kasich split
the vote among seniors even
though the governor warned
that Kasich had spoken pub-
licly as a lawmaker about his
support for privatizing Social
Security.
Around the state, Kasich
won among suburban resi-
dents who accounted for a
little less than half of all vot-
ers in the state and the two
split the vote in Ohio’s small
cities and rural areas.
Strickland spent much
of his campaign saying that
Kasich displays “Wall Street
values” because he is a for-
mer Lehman Brothers manag-
ing director. But voters didn’t
make the connection.
About one-third of Ohio
voters said Wall Street bank-
ers were to blame for the cur-
rent economic problems —
though about half of those
people backed Kasich.
Strickland did manage to
break about even with Kasich
with two groups struggling to
get by — voters who live in
a house with someone who
been laid off in the last year
and those who are worried
someone in their family will
lose a home to foreclosure.
across the aisle for accom-
modation.
The Democrat, who sur-
vived a tough challenge in
Nevada from tea party-backed
Republican Sharron Angle,
told NBC’s “Today” show he
planned to speak today with
Senate Republican Leader
Mitch McConnell on ways to
“build a consensus and move
this country along.”
Reid said he has a “good
relationship” with McConnell,
but said he asked Republicans
to be more open to compro-
mise, telling ABC’s “Good
Morning America” that “just
saying no doesn’t do the
trick.”
Striking a collegial tone
late Tuesday, Obama bowed
to the new reality of divid-
ed government in a brief
phone call late Tuesday, tell-
ing Boehner he was “look-
ing forward to working with
him and the Republicans to
find common ground, move
the country forward and get
things done for the American
people.”
Boehner, in turn, sug-
gested the GOP’s coopera-
tion was conditional, saying:
“We hope President Obama
will now respect the will of
the people, change course
and commit to making the
changes they are demanding.
To the extent he is willing to
do this, we are ready to work
with him.”
Rhetoric aside, the onus
is on Republicans and
Democrats alike to prove
to Americans who are sour
together. If she could speak
to the president in private, she
conceded, “I might shake him
around a bit.”
The sentiment was not
hard to find across the country
in an election that took place
against a backdrop of per-
sistently high unemployment,
no sign of real improvement
in the economy and politics
roiled by division.
Vicki Goode of Boyle
County, Ky., had voted for
Obama as well, and said
she felt disappointed by his
first two years in office and
by what she characterized
as a legislative logjam in
Washington.
“I expected more sweep-
ing change,” she said after
voting for Jack Conway, the
Democratic candidate for
Senate, over tea party-backed
Republican Rand Paul.

called Magnolia Cottage.

In the race for Ohio’s open
U.S. Senate seat, Republican
Rob Portman’s strong sup-
port among key swing groups,
including independents,
helped him win.
The former congressman
from Cincinnati also did
well with middle age voters
and those at retirement age,
according to preliminary exit
poll results for The Associated
Press.
The economy weighed
heavily on the minds of vot-
ers.
Ohio has lost 400,000 jobs
since 2006. Unemployment
hasn’t dipped below 10 per-
cent this year and has stayed
above the national average.
The state also set a record in
2009 for foreclosures.
Almost every voter indi-
cated they’re worried about
the direction of the nation’s
economy in the next year and
just under half said they’re
concerned that a family mem-
ber could lose their home to
foreclosure.
Nearly two-thirds said the
economy was the top issue in
the election.
The survey of Ohio vot-
ers was conducted for AP
by Edison Research. This
includes results from inter-
views with 3,367 voters from
a random sample of 45 pre-
cincts statewide Tuesday; 450
who voted early or absentee
were interviewed by landline
or cellular telephone from Oct.
22 through Oct. 31. Results
for the full sample were sub-
ject to sampling error of plus
or minus 3 percentage points;
it is higher for subgroups.
on both political parties that
Washington isn’t broken.
In short: Both Obama and
Boehner need to show results
to keep their jobs in 2012
and, in a split government,
the only way to get results is
to compromise.
Nothing will get done
in Washington without the
two meeting somewhere in
the middle. And from there,
divides also will have to be
bridged in the Senate, which
will have nearly as many
Republicans as Democrats.
Could this two-party gov-
ernance force politicians
with diametrically opposite
viewpoints to find common
ground?
Maybe.
There’s no doubt Obama’s
predicament will invoke com-
parisons to presidents who
also faced a Congress run by
the opposition party. But for
all the similarities, there are
stark differences, too.
In the 1990s, Bill Clinton
and Newt Gingrich partnered
to enact welfare reform.
But the Republican House
speaker then was a personally
polarizing figure — one who
alienated the electorate — in
a way that Boehner is not, at
least not now. Unlike Obama
and Boehner, Ronald Reagan
and Tip O’Neill easily devel-
oped an amicable relationship
that took the edge off their
partisan differences in the
1980s. But even Reagan had
to moderate his conservative
ideas after Republican losses
in the House.
finding what they want and
buying that one thing. Her
husband was out of work for
16 months.
Just about everywhere,
this election felt far removed
from the last. Two years ago,
after all, there was no tea
party. Now it’s a force in
American politics. Two years
ago, the nation was in finan-
cial shock. Now hard times
are all too familiar.
“You still have a lot of
people out of work,” said
James Price, a lawyer in
Indianapolis who voted a
straight Republican ticket.
“We’re losing a lot of jobs.
We have massive amounts
of debt.”
In Denver, there were
those like Josie Hart-Genter,
who said the administration
had done exactly what it
promised to — expand health
care and pass an economic
stimulus bill — and were
proud. And those like Javier
Flores, who wished Obama
had been more aggressive on
gay rights.

A busy Saturday
for the Eichers
BY LOVINA EICHER
I thought I would share
a diary of a recent day with
you readers.
6:30 a.m. — It is
Saturday, October 30. Today
is my oldest brother, Amos‘s,
49th birthday. I can always
remember his age because
he is 10 years older than I
am. Brother-in-law
Jacob will be 38 on
Monday. It is time
to start another day.
It feels good to have
heat in the house
on this chilly morn-
ing. My husband
Joe started our coal
stove in the base-
ment on Thursday
and it makes the
house more comfortable.
7:45 a.m. — We have
breakfast that consists of fried
eggs and potatoes, bacon,
cheese, toast, butter, straw-
berry jam, milk and cider.
Mornings like this are always
special when we can all eat a
relaxing meal together and do
not have to think of anyone
needing to leave.
8:45 a.m. — Daughter
Elizabeth, 16, and I start
gathering laundry to wash.
The other girls wash dishes
and start the weekly cleaning.
Joe and the boys are cleaning
out the barn and the horse-
stalls. Joe needs to get our
one-horse manure spreader
fixed so he can spread the
manure in the gardens and
fields.
12:30 p.m. — We finally
have the laundry all done.
Elizabeth hung it all outside
while I washed it. It is windy
and some of the clothes don’t
want to stay on the line. It is
cold on the hands to hang
COMMUNITY
that we will have to start dry-
ing the clothes in the base-
ment. In the meantime, we
will appreciate all the nice
days we have left. Uncle
Joe and Aunt Betty drove
in just as we were finishing
with the laundry. They vis-
ited us awhile and then left
to go visit with sister Emma
and Jacob and sisters Verena
and Susan. I told
them to come back
tonight for supper.
1:30 p.m. — I
fix a late lunch of
homemade vegeta-
ble soup and bar-
becued beef sand-
wiches.
2:15 p.m. —
Elizabeth and
I start getting in
the laundry to fold and put
away. The other girls fin-
ish the weekly cleaning.
Joe and the boys are finish-
ing up in the barn. Earlier
while Joe and Betty were
here, we had some anxious
moments when the horses
got out through an open gate
in the barn. The three horses
and our pony found their
way out and started down the
road to our hay field. They
were busy eating in the hay
field and didn’t want to go
into the fenced in pasture. I
guess they thought the grass
looked greener on the other
side of the fence.
4:30 p.m. — Joe and
Betty are back. They got to
visit with Jacob and Emma
but Verena and Susan were
not home. I mixed together a
meatloaf and made scalloped
potatoes. The girls start
helping the younger ones get
cleaned up.
5:15 p.m. — The meat-
loaf and the scalloped pota-
6:30 p.m. — Elizabeth’s
friend Tim joins us for sup-
per too. We have meatloaf,
scalloped potatoes, corn,
cheese, and peaches. I didn’t
get time to get anything
baked because we were just
too busy. I don’t like to do
laundry on a Saturday but
Joe, Elizabeth and I decided
to go have lunch with the
children at school yesterday
so we couldn‘t do it then.
We picked up sister Emma,
daughter Elizabeth and son
Steven along the way. Joe
didn’t have any work and
will be off all of next week
too.
8 p.m. — Joe and Betty
left and we are all ready to
call it a day. Elizabeth and
Tim leave to join the other
youth at the local community
center.
God’s blessings to all.

Three generations of Stockwells celebrated the Delphos
Vikings’ championship-game romp over the St. Marys
Broncos Sunday at Skip Baughman Stadium: assistant
coach Jeff Stockwell, a Vikings’ “graduate”, current player
Jace Stockwell and long-time head coach Jim Stockwell,
who won his fourth Tri-County Midget Football Association
title.
Jim Stockwell reaches
milestone in midget football
By JIM METCALFE

DELPHOS — Jim
Stockwell has been coach-
ing in the Tri-County Midget
Football Association a long
time.
He just finished his 42nd
year as a coach in the system,
his 40th as the head man of
the Delphos Vikings.
That’s a long time in any
sport at any level.
“It never gets old. The kids
keep me coming back and I
will stick around as long as
no one kicks me out or fires
me,” he said. As long as I’m
healthy, I’ll continue to coach
because of them and the
enjoyment I get from them.
“What I like the most is
watching a 9-year old develop
along and become a 12-year-
old, then watching him play at
the high school level.”
He won his fourth title as
head man of the Vikings with
Sunday’s 36-0 romp over
the St. Marys Broncos. He
Dena Martz photo
watched as his backfield tan-
dem of Hunter Binkley scored
the first two touchdowns —
finishing off a solid 2010
campaign — and then took
even more pleasure as his
grandson, Jace, threw three
touchdown passes to Adam
Rode to finish the game off.
The defense pitched a
shutout as well to add to the
proceedings.
“We were figuring out my
record; after the game Sunday,
we found out that I was now
200-81-5 when I thought it
was 199 wins or something.
That’s a lot of games,” he
added. “Again, it’s all about
the players. It’s nice to be
able to coach my sons in the
past and now my grandson. I
have a great-grandson that is
about three years away from
being eligible to play and my
grandson tells me he wants
me to coach him. We’ll see.”
He was ably assisted this
season by his son, Jeff, as
well as Greg Gossman, Eric
Wallace, Doug Fitch and
Todd Teman.

Green Bears eliminate Big Green
By JIM METCALFE
jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com
FINDLAY — It was green
all around Elmer Graham
Soccer Stadium Tuesday
night as the Ottoville Big
Green battled the Ottawa
Hills Green Bears in a boys
regional soccer tossup.
It was all about opportuni-
ties: those that were missed
(Ottoville) and those that
weren’t (Ottawa Hills) as the
Green Bears ousted the Big
Green 2-0.
It was the second time
in three years that Ottawa
Hills (16-2-2) put out the Big
Green (18-2) in the regional
round.
The Green and Gold
seemed to have the better of
the proceedings in the first
half but could not get the orb
past Green Bear sophomore
keeper Michael Gieger (7
saves versus 10 shots).
He dove to defend a shot
by junior Sam Beining at
35:18.
His leaping deflection of
a 25-yarder by junior Josh
Schroeder at 2:12 seemed to
galvanize the Green Bears.
Ottoville senior Kyle
Kroeger (4 saves vs. 7 shots)
stopped three shots in the
final 12 minutes of the first
half, the best coming at 5:00
when he came off his line
to deflect away a shot from
the right wing by freshman
Blake Pappas.
“We had our chances,
especially the first half and
early in the second. We just
couldn’t get the ball past
Geiger; he is one of the best
we’ve seen,” Big Green
coach Eric Gerker observed.
“Their defense helped him
out a couple of times as well.

FORT WAYNE — The
14th-ranked Indiana Tech
women’s volleyball team
improved to 32-5 with a
25-20, 25-14, 25-16 thump-
ing of the University of
Northwestern Ohio Tuesday
at the Schaefer Center in Fort
Wayne.
Leading the way for
the hosts (15-1 Wolverine-
Our defense was great; our
game plan was to mark their
forwards and not give them
a lot of space, which we did.
We played with great effort;
we just couldn’t put the ball
in the back of the net.
Green Bears coach Francis
Stephens credited his keep-
er for keeping them in the
game.
“For a sophomore, he
does very well back there.
We seemed to get some ener-
gy from his saves,” Stephens
acknowledged. “Our prob-
lem is that we are not a great
first-half team. I just told the
players at the half to keep
attacking and the chances
will come.”
The Big Green nearly went
up 1-0 at 35:25 of the second
half on a corner kick; senior
Scott Pohlman’s header from
10 yards was heading to the
goal when a defender headed
it away just inches from the
goal line.
At 34:50, Geiger again
made a diving save, this time
on an 8-yarder header by
senior Nate Turnwald.
He also stopped a 20-yard-
er by senior Matt Honigford
at 33:51.
That seemed to send the
Green Bears to another gear.
They broke onto the board
at 29:35 when junior Logan
Glosser found sophomore
Brandon Zakeri, who made
out outstanding move to get
a look from the left wing and
went over the keeper to the
right side from 15 yards and
a 1-0 edge.
“You just have to credit a
player that can volley the ball
up over a defender, go get it
and put it in the net. That was
a great move,” Gerker said.
Kroeger kept it there at
25:03 when he stopped a

shot by junior Ahmed Abdel-
Halim, while Turnwald was
denied by the keeper from 14
yards at 18:02.
However, a defensive
breakdown proved costly to
the Big Green at 16:35. On
a free kick from the right
sideline from their own terri-
tory, Abdel-Halim launched
it and the ball got through
to Pappas on the left side
well within Ottoville space.
He fired from the left wing
and his 16-yarder got by the
keeper for a 2-0 lead.
“Our scouting report told
us to attack them and we did.
Some coaches might tell you
to play a defensive match but
we attacked,” Gerker added.
“When we didn’t score on
the header early in the second
half — it was right there —
that was frustrating. When
they scored their first goal,
time lead but the likes of D.
Sawyer-Davis (26 points, 12
boards) and Q. Owens (23
markers) led a 51-30 edge in
the second half for USF to
give them the 9-point season-
opening win.
Bolyard ended up with 26
points, while Wes Gelhaus

we had to push forward a
little harder and that’s what
led to their second goal.”
The Big Green had two
chances to snap the shutout:
at 10:09 and 10 seconds; but
Geiger denied Honigford and
Pohlman was just wide right.
“We didn’t get a lot of
shots against Ottoville but we
got the two to go,” Stephens
added. “I didn’t like our
defensive shape the first half
and we addressed that at the
half. We were a lot better
overall the second half. I
don’t like to substitute a lot
during the tournament, so it
means our guys have to go
more minutes. I credit them
for not letting down.”

Fall Classic a dud

I really thought the Fall
Classic would be a true fall
classic — I think most major-
league baseball fans did, too.
It turned out to be a dud,
not only on the field but in the
TV ratings.
Not that the Giants beat-
ing the Rangers in 5 games
is necessarily a bad thing
but everyone expected the
Rangers to put up more of a
fight. Instead, they seemed to
go down with a whimper.
The Giants had some tra-
dition on their side, though
most of it was way back when
they were still in The Big
Apple and Hall-of-Famers
like Willie Mays and Willie
McCovey were part of the
team. They did make it this
far in 2002 but didn’t win.
The Rangers really have
nothing in comparison.
Perhaps the old saying
goes: you have to learn how
to crawl before you can walk,
etc. It’s one thing to win in the
regular season, the divisional
playoffs and even the LCS.
It’s quite another when
the spotlight is just on two
teams.
Still, Texas has a chance
to have a long line of success,
though it likely won’t be with
ace pitcher Cliff Lee. Perhaps
this loss will be a positive
thing in the future, a lesson
learned about what it takes to
win at that level.
The Giants are also poised

WASHINGTON — John Wall
had 29 points, 13 assists, nine steals
and eight turnovers in his home
debut, outshining fellow rookie
Evan Turner as Washington beat
Philadelphia 116-115 in overtime
Tuesday night in the first matchup
of the top two picks in this year’s
draft.
No. 1 choice Wall’s eventful
game gave the Wizards their first
win of the season. Cartier Martin
caught Wall’s inbounds pass and
hit a 3-pointer with 0.3 seconds
remaining in regulation to send the
game into overtime.
No. 2 pick Turner, who came
off the bench and wasn’t a factor
until the second half, scored all of
his nine points in the fourth quarter
and finished with six rebounds for
the 76ers, who are 0-4 for the first

NEW YORK — The Orlando-

safety concerns after debris fell into
the arena during overnight cleaning
of asbestos-related materials.

ceiling following the New York
Rangers’ game and prevented work-
ers from laying down the hardwood
floor. The ice surface was still
down as of Tuesday afternoon.

and others not likely to get

We have seen many a team
be a flash in the pan because
they simply can’t handle suc-

heads; they believe their press
clippings.
Now we see what will hap-

od begins to heat up. What
kind of money will be tossed
around once the bidding
begins — outside of the New
York Yankees, who throw it
around like water — and per-

Will Jones can Wade

awfully silent over the last

that will continue.

The Associated Press
COLUMBUS — Mathieu Garon stopped 29 shots for his 17th career
shutout, extending his strong play at home in leading the Columbus Blue
Jackets to a 3-0 victory over the Montreal Canadiens on Tuesday night.
Rick Nash, Derick Brassard and Kyle Wilson had goals and Jake
Voracek added two assists for the Blue Jackets, who have won 6-of-8.
Garon, a second-round pick by the Canadiens in the 1996 draft,
played three seasons for Montreal. He improved to 8-0-4 in home games
since joining Columbus as a free agent in 2009.
The Canadiens were shut out for the second time this season. Carey
Price made 21 saves.
Wild 1, Sharks 0
ST. PAUL, Minn. — Niklas Backstrom stopped 36 shots, Andrew
Brunette scored the game’s only goal and Minnesota shut out the power-
ful San Jose Sharks.
The Sharks held an 18-4 shots advantage midway through the second
but found themselves trailing after Brunette scored a 5-on-3 goal with 7
minutes left in the period.
The Wild killed five power plays, highlighted by a key stop with 7
minutes remaining in the third. The Sharks entered as the top power-play
team in the NHL at 31.6 percent.
It was Backstrom’s first shutout since March 3 at Calgary.
Senators 3, Maple Leafs 2
TORONTO — Sergei Gonchar and Erik Karlsson scored power-play
goals 2:26 apart in the second period as Ottawa beat slumping Toronto.
Mike Fisher had the other goal for the Senators on a penalty shot.
Brian Elliott appeared poised to become the third straight goalie to
blank the Maple Leafs until Francois Beauchemin trickled a point shot
by him at 5:15 of third period. That ended the team’s goal drought at 167
minutes, 39 seconds, the franchise’s longest in 83 years, according to the
Elias Sports Bureau.
Clarke MacArthur also scored for the Maple Leafs, who have man-
aged only nine goals while going 1-5-1 in their last seven games. Toronto
captain Dion Phaneuf left in the second period with an apparent injury
to his left leg.
Canucks 4, Oilers 3
EDMONTON, Alberta — Raffi Torres had a hat trick against his
former team and Vancouver withstood a late charge to beat Edmonton
for its fourth straight win.
Daniel Sedin also scored for the Canucks (6-3-2).
Dustin Penner, Ryan Jones and Gilbert Brule scored for the Oilers
(3-5-2).
