SALEM - City council voted 6-1 Tuesday to prohibit scrap yards in M-1 and M-2 zoning districts, with Councilman Clyde Brown the lone dissenter.
"There's no need - just enforce the ordinance we have," he said regarding his "no" vote.
Brown has been very vocal in his opinion against a metals and recycling business on West Pershing Street which he contends has been violating the rules with its operation and should have never been approved in the first place.
The idea behind the change to the ordinances dealing with M1 light industrial and M2 heavy industrial zones was to prohibit auto wrecking lots, scrap yards or junk yards in the city from happening. Other city officials said the change will prevent what happened from happening again, making it clear what's permitted and what isn't.
Council also held second reading on a proposed ordinance restricting the drilling of oil and gas wells to M-2 industrial sites in the city and at least 500 feet from any structure in the city.
The city Planning Commission had sent all three zoning changes back to council after agreeing to move them forward. During a public hearing prior to the council meeting, council heard comments from a handful of people regarding the ordinances.
Caitlin Johnson, an organizer with the Ohio Organizing Collaborative, had addressed the drilling issue during a Planning Commission meeting and addressed it again during the public hearing.
"I think it's great that the city of Salem wants to assert itself and protect the citizens," she said, even though the state of Ohio retains sole control over the permitting of oil and gas wells after taking away local control.
She said the city still has some things it can do, noting that the city controls whether any city-owned land inside the city limits can be leased for drilling. The city already signed a lease deal with Chesapeake earlier this year for acreage outside of the city limits, restricted to non-surface mineral rights.
She said the city needs to also consider air emissions and the fact that people are living and working in the M-2 zone on West Pershing Street.
"Passing this ordinance is not the way to ensure protection of the citizens," she said, adding there's a lot more the city should be doing and paying attention to, especially air quality.
When asked about her stance after the hearing, Johnson said if they're going to ban drilling, they should ban it altogether in the city. She said it's probably not the most effective way to exercise control over oil and gas development.
Prospect Street resident Diane Bates expressed concern about health issues, especially if there's any drilling in the Industrial Park area close to the former Nease Chemical site and what would happen to the water as a result. She doesn't want to see an oil rig in the city.
West Pershing Street resident Patty Fortune questioned why council would want to have a well in the city and asked "why not just say it's not allowed in the whole city?" She contended that if the city is restricting it to M-2, then the city is saying it's okay in M-2 and issuing an invitation for it.
As a resident in an M-2 district, she said they're already dealing with the scrap yard and now council is saying it's okay to drill there, too. Johnson said she agreed with Fortune, saying it doesn't seem fair to restrict the drilling to an area already with environmental problems.
Councilwoman Cyndy Baronzzi Dickey reiterated that the state of Ohio has control over where wells can be drilled - the city has no control. Lewis Dowd, of Southeast Boulevard, asked how the proposed ordinance gives the city any control.
Councilman Dave Nestic admitted they were right, that the state has legislated away the local control, but he also said while nobody wants to hurt the citizens of Salem, he doesn't want to inhibit or prohibit development. He doesn't want to hurt small driller operations.
According to Nestic, the state did what it did for a reason, saying if everybody had their own laws and resolutions on where the drilling can happen, the industry wouldn't come in. Johnson begged to differ on that, saying that Pennsylvania has local control and that didn't seem to stop the industry there.
She suggested people come to a showing of "The Triple Divide," a movie made from a journalist's standpoint about the oil and gas fracking in Pennsylvania at 6 p.m. Monday in the Memorial Building gym. David Celebrezze, an expert on Ohio rules and regulations from the Ohio Environmental Council, will be there also.
As for comments on the scrap yard legislation, Fortune and fellow West Pershing Street resident Richard Gfeller spoke out, with Gfeller saying he didn't know why the city allowed the scrap yard on his street.
"I think the city ought to be ashamed for putting it there," he said, complaining about the noise.
Fortune questioned whether the new building the company purchased will fall under the new rules or be grandfathered like the current business.

Cysts of the mesentery are rare occurrences,1-2 probably the rarest of all abdominal tumors.3 Wood4 and Mattioli5 have each recently reported two cases and contributed excellent summaries to the literature. Wood has pointed out the pathological similarities between enterogenous and mesenteric cysts. He states that the most important distinguishing feature between these two types of cysts of the mesentery is the type of lining membrane. Multiple mesenteric cysts are exceedingly rare conditions.6-7 However, they are apparently being reported with increasing frequency since Callaghan and Farley8 were able to add their case to seven others reported between 1950-1958. We wish to report the following case of enterogenous cyst and multiple mesenteric cysts since it was complicated by pneumococcal abscess of one of the cysts.

Capcom has done it again, this time with the release of Resident Evil 6. When I first heard of Resident Evil 6, my ideas of grandeur reached such a high peak. As the months wore on of anticipation gamers were greeted with Reisdent Evil Operation Racoon City with a few cheap thrills and crappy AI. Frustrated gamers began to throw controllers and eventualy scream and yell at the TV asking their AI counterparts "WHY!!!!"
Enter the release of Resident Evil 6, which is a truly work of genius as I would say. Well not a real work of genuis, but you kind of get the idea.
As much as I love playing this game, there are a few game tweaks I'd like implemented in the game. The first would be a dedicated cover system. The cover system is pretty weak as you have to get close to the wall then then cover unlike gears of war, ghost recon and spec ops the line, the cover system is really good. Aside from that, the gameplay is pretty smooth and it plays like resident evil 5 and resident evil 4 with a few set pieces to instill an holy s*** moment or two. You point, shoot and hope for the best.
The various modes of gameplay will also keep this game active if you're an avid resident evil fan. The game is broken up into 4 campaigns. Chris and Piearce (I probably miss spelled his name, but who cares, bring back Barry!), Jake and Sherry (character from Resident evil 2, all grown up now), Ada Wong campaign and the best of the bunch the Leon Campaign. Now the Ada Wong campaign will be unlocked when you beat all the three campaigns, but capcom is releaseing an update to allow the Ada Wong campaign to be playable from the start. The mercenaries mission is an added bonus to the game as well. In order to get unlimited ammo, beat all four campaigns and you should be able to get unlimited ammo.
As far as story, each campaign gives you a great resident evil experience with plenty of thrills and surprises. The main thing I took away from the experience is the concept of another Resident Evil title in the works.
Character models in resident evil 6 looks great. The zombies and the mutated soldiers look fantastic. Capcom paid a great amount of detail in the game which shows. Another complaint I'd say is I wanted more zombies! Most of the enemies you will face are mutated soldiers. Also crimson mode would be fantastic, guess it's just a few ideas I'd like to see in Resident Evil 7.
Overall: A+
This game was a thrill ride from start to finish with each campaign. But I do urge gamers to play the Leon campaign last because in fact, it is the best campaign of the game. Til then I'll probably be the only person wishing for a Resident Evil game to star Barry. On a serious note, where is Barry anyway...The last time I saw him was resident evil 1, did he take a vacation to the bahamas?
Anyway this is a great experience that will have you screaming for joy.
Til Nextime...
Happy Gaming!

Police are investigating the death of a 3-month-old boy found in a Milwaukee home on Sunday.
VIDEO: Toddler's death under investigation
Officers found the child inside the first-floor unit of a duplex near Howard and Clement avenues around 8:30 a.m.
Investigators have not said how the child died, but they did say the circumstances are mysterious.
Dominic Eliopoulois, the father of one of the other children who lives in the home, said the children's mother is not someone who would harm her kids.
He said the child who died was named AJ.
Eliopoulois said two other children live in the home, including his 12-year-old son.
WISN 12 News will update this story when new information is available.

|US Rules of Engagement/Iraq's Violations of the No-Fly Zones
QUESTION: New subject, if everyone doesn't mind, on Iraq. I know Sandy Berger was talking to defense reporters about this expanded US policy in - the US and Britain policy in Iraq. Can you elaborate on what that is for us here?
MR. FOLEY: No, I can't. I would have to refer you to the Pentagon for any discussion of rules of engagement. You've been with us a short amount of time and you will understand that our normal practice is to refer operational military details to the Pentagon. I can certainly assure you, though, that the United States is and will continue to respond decisively to any provocative attacks on our pilots. As I indicated yesterday, there seems to be a systematic pattern of violation of the no-fly zones in both the north and south of Iraq. The United States is resolute in its commitment not only to enforcing the no-fly zones, which serve a humanitarian purpose of protecting the people of northern and southern Iraq from the repression of their government, but also to do everything necessary to protect our pilots as they do this important work.

The mayo was a definite fail. Not sure why, it usually turns out so nice. Ah well. The carnitas were really good, and a hit with all my boys. I wouldn't call the pork "amazing", but it was good. Had it in romaine lettuce wraps with guacamole, salsa, and the cilantro pesto, with a side of the carrot salsa/slaw. Plenty left for tonight's dinner as well. Yesterday's eats were pretty random until dinner, a nibble here and there as I was working in the kitchen, plus a big mug of bone broth.
As I was chopping up the slightly frozen lamb liver for pate, I had a weird thought about tossing back a few frozen, raw chunks, haha, but couldn't bring myself to go there. The pate turned out very well, some went into the freezer and the rest will be lunch fare for the week.
I have a ton of stuff to get done today, so better get to work! I've been distracted of late, and need to get focused.

1898 Cameo Pepsin Gum Buck Ewing Pin
Starting Bid - $500.00, Sold For - $2,937.50
1898 Cameo Pepsin Gum pin of Hall of Famer Buck Ewing, one of the nineteenth century's greatest stars, featuring him with the Cincinnati Reds. All Cameo Pepsins are extremely rare. This is an outstanding high-grade example of one of the key Hall of Famers in the set, with an exceptionally sharp portrait, a few very minor spots of foxing (extremely minor and mentioned strictly for the sake of accuracy), otherwise in Nr/Mt condition, and with the reverse advertising back paper perfectly clean and intact. Much rarer than their "card counterparts," key player Cameo Pepsin gum pins such as this prize example appear to many to offer a far better value than ninteenth-century baseball cards of the same players (which in many cases are actually more common), but this is likely to change in the years to come. Diameter: 1.25 inches. Reserve $500. Estimate $1,000/$1,500. SOLD FOR $2,937.50

I THINK Christian Hackenberg made an excellent choice in attending Penn State and we will find out just how good he is. Just like Tom Brady, Drew Brees and Russell Wilson who came out of the Big Ten along with an undrafted free agent named Matt McGloin.
AFTER PENN STATE'S exhilarating and hard fought win, its hard to read all the negative comments about Penn State in the Fan Line. These callers must have a miserable life.
I'M JUST calling to the Fan Line about Penn State, Notre Dame and all the other teams that don't go to the National Championship like the SEC teams because of the academic standards. If they had the same standards they wouldn't have half they players they currently have. The teams that do it right are the teams that should be playing in the National Championship game.
TO THE knowledgeable sports fan from Shipoke; the Big Ten has many teams in the Top 20 because people who know football have them as some the best teams in the country.
PRIOR TO the Baltimore Ravens game last Thursday only some of us Steeler fans disliked Mike Tomlin. Now we all know why we dislike Mike Tomlin.
I'M NOT a Steelers fan, I'm an Eagles fan, but I think the six figure fine and a loss of a draft pick is a bunch of baloney. Especially, with all the stuff New England's coach gets away with.

Research Professor in the Humanities
History Department
Michael Perman teaches courses at the undergraduate and graduate
levels on American history in particular the American South, the Civil
War and Reconstruction, slavery and race relations, and citizenship
and immigration policy.
He has published three books based on archival research. Two of them
covered politics in the Reconstruction South. Reunion Without
Compromise: The South and Reconstruction, 1865-1868 (Cambridge
University Press, 1973) explained the former Confederates' response to
the federal government's terms for their readmission to the Union,
while The Road to Redemption: Southern Politics, 1869-1879 (University of North Carolina Press, 1984) investigated the political
system established in the South under Reconstruction, showing how it
operated and how it was later overthrown. The third, Struggle for
Mastery: Disfranchisement in the South, 1888-1908 (University of
North Carolina Press, 2001), examined the movement undertaken by the

A key player in one of the most prolific passing seasons in Texas Panhandle high school football history was honored with a selection to the Texas Associated Press Sports Editors Class 4A all-state team Wednesday.
Caprock senior wide receiver Addison Bustos was voted to the first-team offense to cap a season and career in which he and the Longhorns put up mind-boggling numbers through the air. Bustos caught 97 passes for 1,717 yards and 19 touchdowns as Caprock victimized opposing secondaries.
The only other Texas Panhandle player to earn a spot on the first two teams was Canyon junior linebacker Dylan Douglass, who had 143 tackles this season.
Last season, Bustos was an honorable mention all-state selection. This year he stepped his game up, as early in the season against Lubbock Estacado, Bustos had 13 catches for 392 yards, 2 yards short of a state single-game record.
The only downside was the Longhorns lost their next seven games and finished the season 3-7, missing the playoffs after making them two years in row to break a 35-year playoff drought.
"I didn't really think about it," Bustos said. "I thought I gave myself a chance to make all-state. Since we didn't make the playoffs I thought it might affect me in a way. There's not that many people who've put up that kind of numbers in a game this year."
Bustos and senior quarterback Michael Guerrero, who was an honorable mention selection, were the key elements of Caprock's high-octane passing attack that put pressure on defenses the past two seasons. They gave the Longhorns a reputation for being a dangerous offensive team that enjoyed some success in the win column.
"I'm pretty happy for the legacy I left for the younger guys," Bustos said. "Being a leader for them and showing what they can do in this offense give them some high hopes for when they become seniors."
Such success is a big product of the passing game built by coach Seth Parr, who led the Longhorns to the playoffs in 2010 and 11, the first time since 1975 Caprock went to the postseason and the first time the school made back-to-back playoff appearances.
"For Addison, this should mean a lot to him because it's not something which happens every day," Parr said. "It comes from a lot of hard work he put in. It's a team deal, because any time you get to represent your school and organization in positive manner it helps the kids in this cluster.
"We're hoping every receiver who comes through here hopes they have the game put in their hands a lot. We're hoping they look at (Bustos) and see that they can do something productive."
Guerrero, who briefly held the Texas Panhandle's career passing yardage record after the end of the regular season, wasn't the only District 3-4A quarterback who was an honorable-mention pick. Randall's Collin Bowen, who had more than 1,000 yards passing and rushing and was 3-4A's offensive player of the year, was also honored.
Amarillo High senior running back Josh Woods and Canyon junior guard Rylan Veigel were honorable-mention selections.

The Carolina Hurricanes debuted their black third jerseys during Monday's home-opener, but the Raleigh News-Observer's Luke DeCock says that the jerseys didn't provide any luck against the Red Wings:
October 14, Raleigh News-Observer: It was a first night for black, all right: The first black mark on the Carolina Hurricanes' record.
The on-ice debut of the Hurricanes' new black alternate jerseys had everything to recommend it, from the marquee opponent -- the defending champion Detroit Red Wings -- to the sharp new sweaters themselves.
Without the eye of the storm on their chests, though, all the Hurricanes ended up with was a 3-1 black eye, their first loss of the season.
"It was a nice change," Hurricanes goalie Cam Ward said of the third jerseys. "I thought we looked good. It would have been nice to win with 'em."
The Canes had their chances in this one despite being outshot 28-15 through two periods. It was a winnable game the way Ward was playing, keeping them within a goal heading into the third, bolstered by the best performance yet by Carolina's new-look defense.
But that goal never came in 13 third-period shots against Ty Conklin, whose last appearance in this building was one to forget -- his disastrous relief appearance for the Edmonton Oilers in Carolina's Game 1 win to open the 2006 Stanley Cup finals.
The Hurricanes' special teams failed them, as the Raleigh News-Observer's Javier Serna notes in the "Lord Stanley Blog" (he also penned an in-game "live blog"):
October 13, Raleigh News-Observer: The Hurricanes didn't make it easy on themselves in a 3-1 loss to the Red Wings, committing six penalties -- four of which came in the second period. The Red Wings' first two goals both came during power plays.
"We came out with a better stride in the second period and started to generate a little more chances, but then you have guys sitting for six minutes," said Carolina coach Peter Laviolette. "You're out of the role of the bench and out of the synch of the bench. It just took away from it. We've been taking lazy penalties for the first three games. These hooking and holding penalties have to stop because they're going to kill us."
The Red Wings went ahead 2-1 during Sergei Samsonov's slashing penalty early in the second period. And seconds after the Canes killed Ray Whitney's two-minute slashing penalty, Tim Gleason was put in the box for four minutes on cross checking and unsportsmanlike conduct penalties. Still, Canes goalie Cam Ward came up with some big saves during that stretch.
"The penalty kill needs to be better," said Laviolette. "You're picking a bright spot. We didn't execute very well in the first couple, and they end up scoring. That one went well. Again, too many penalties, too many times in the box.
Rod Brind'Amour agreed, as he told CarolinaHurricanes.com's David Droschak:
October 13, CarolinaHurricanes.com: "It takes us out of the flow; it seemed like we didn't have any even-strength shifts the whole period," said Rod Brind'Amour. "Guys are just sitting there and you just never get any kind of rhythm going. Their power play is just too good to give them that many chances."
Carolina surrendered a second power-play goal five minutes into the second and trailed 2-1 before Tim Gleason went to the box for cross-checking and an additional two minutes for unsportsmanlike conduct. Gleason's four-minute penalty occurred just 17 seconds after the Canes killed off a Ray Whitney slashing call.
But the tired penalty killers, led by Eric Staal, Brandon Sutter and Brind'Amour, allowed just three Detroit shots and no real good scoring opportunities to get the crowd back into the game.
Carolina had 13 shots in the final period, but Detroit kept the pressure on, hitting two posts before finally sealing it with an empty-net goal with 15 seconds left.
Therein lies the rub--the Red Wings' surprisingly porous defence gave the Hurricanes enough "looks" at Ty Conklin to require spectacular saves from the Red Wings' netminder, but that served as cold comfort for Cam Ward, who stopped 33 of 35 shots against, putting on a clinic of his own:
"This goes to show that we're capable of playing with the defending Stanley Cup champions," Ward said. "Everybody in this locker room would probably agree that this wasn't our strongest game, so we'll try to learn from this. We need to realize we've got to play a full 60 minutes and not just play in spurts."
"Detroit played a hard skating game and they have got great speed everywhere," added Laviolette. "I don't think we hit full stride tonight. A lot of that has to do with the way they play defense and taking away our time and space. We didn't win enough of those battles from the circles on down. We needed to step on the gas a little bit more."
Corvo told the Durham Times-News that a little inside information allowed him to blast a puck through the otherwise-bulletproof Conklin...
October 14, Durham Times-News: Carolina, which rallied from multiple-goal deficits two win its first two games, held a 13-8 in third-period shots but never scored after defenseman Joe Corvo's blast from a cleared-out slot 57 seconds into the second period.
"You're going to lose some games," Corvo said, "but you'd like (more to show) in a hard-fought game like this."
Hurricanes goalie Cam Ward stopped 33 shots. Nicklas Lidstrom opened the scoring for the Red Wings.
The Hurricanes entered Monday night's game with 14 players with at least one point this season. That was the most of any NHL team. Corvo's goal against Detroit made it 15 players in the points column for the Hurricanes.
"I actually went to high school with him so I got to shoot against him a lot," Corvo said, explaining his goal against Red Wings goaltender Ty Conklin.
And the Raleigh News-Observer's Chip Alexander took note of the fact that Mike Babcock raved about the dominance of Hurricanes forward Eric Staal...
October 13, Raleigh News-Observer: Staal had 30 shifts and more than 26 minutes of ice time. He played 19:31 at even strength and 3:05 on the power play, but he also was used for 3:40 on the penalty kill. On one shift, the Canes center was on the ice for 1:45. It seemed it was all he could do to get back to the bench.
"I thought Staal was fantastic," Wings coach Mike Babcock said. "He's going to be dead by Christmas if you play him that much, but he was really good."
Babcock also said he was "very impressed" with the Canes, who were credited with 32 hits to the Wings' 23 and wasn't lacking any energy despite playing their third game in four days.
"I like their team," Babcock said. "I never thought their back end was as good as it was. They played well tonight. I think their team is well-coached, they were prepared and they worked hard."
But Conklin saved the Wings' bacon on several occasions, stopping all 13 shots that he faced in the third period. Alexander discussed Conklin's somewhat redemptive efforts in his game recap:
October 14, Raleigh News-Observer: Ty Conklin was once the goat in one of the biggest hockey games played in the RBC Center. On Monday night, he was one of the heroes, chosen the game's "first star." In his first start in goal for the Detroit Red Wings, Conklin made big save after big save in a 3-1 victory over the Carolina Hurricanes. He was here, there, everywhere for the defending Stanley Cup champions in a tense, tight game with playoff intensity.
"There's always more nerves than usual in your first game with a new team," Conklin said.
Nerves? In the first game of the 2006 Stanley Cup finals, playing for the Edmonton Oilers, Conklin came in late for injured goalie Dwayne Roloson. Conklin promptly botched an exchange with a defenseman behind the goal, allowing the Canes' Rod Brind'Amour to collect the loose puck and easily score the winner.
"But that was a few years ago," Conklin said. "I was over that a long time ago."
After Corvo's goal, Conklin made a save that had everyone in the building stunned, thanks in part to a quick-triggered goal judge:
[Brandon] Sutter nearly gave the Canes the lead a minute later on a two-on-one rush, with Conklin making a hustling pad save. Sutter's quick shot in front fooled the goal judge -- the horn sounded and the light came on to signal a goal.
"I felt the puck hit my pad pretty hard," Conklin said. "I knew it was a mistake."
Conklin told the Associated Press that getting into game action early in the season was a relief...
October 13, Associated Press: Conklin, who signed as a free agent in July, sat the first two games behind Chris Osgood for the defending Stanley Cup champions. He came through with a solid performance against the Hurricanes, from his stop of Brandon Sutter on a 2-on-1 rush in the second period to several saves as the Hurricanes pushed for the tying score in the third.
"There's always more nerves in the first game with a new team," Conklin said. "You always want to impress, too. You try not to do too much and play outside of yourself. It's nice to contribute. It was nice to get in there early instead of sitting."
Coach Mike Babcock saw enough from Conklin to be encouraged about Detroit's depth in net.
"We wanted to get him in early," he said. "We didn't want to wait because he's the new guy here to our program."
Conklin definitely displayed a few jitters, as the Detroit Free Press's Helene St. James notes...
October 14, Detroit Free Press: Conklin nearly got into trouble early when he left the net to play the puck only to see it take a fluky bounce and redirect right in front of Detroit's very empty net. But the Hurricanes failed to capitalize, and Conklin got to play with a lead when, during the Wings' first power play, Lidstrom wound up and blasted a shot from the left point that sank into the net at 6:55 of the first period.
Conklin made back-to-back stops on Ray Whitney and Eric Staal near the end of the first period. Less than a minute into the second period, with each team at four skaters, Whitney sent the puck out front to Joe Corvo, who had no one defending him as he took a shot that whipped by Conklin. The Wings responded with a power-play goal straight out of a textbook: Brian Rafalski fed the puck to Marian Hossa in the bottom of the left faceoff circle, and Hossa smacked it straight to the crease, where Holmstrom was waiting to tap it by Cam Ward for a 2-1 lead at 5:04 of the second period.
"That was great first pass by Rafalski to me," Hossa said. "I just tried to look before and Tommy was open, and he made sure he got a good shot and the puck went in. That was a nice tic-tac-toe."
Conklin absorbed former Spartan Rod Brind'Amour's redirection attempt early in the third period and followed immediately with a quick glove save on Frantisek Kaberle to stymie the Hurricanes.
But Babcock saw positives in Conklin's play, gaffes included:
"We didn't want to wait [to start him] because he's new to our program," Babcock said. "It was more just about this guy getting the weight of the world off early. Now next time he plays he'll feel real good, and that puts us in a good situation. He did a good job for us. He made a great save on a two-on-one, and he made another really good save late in the game when the puck bounced and their guy walked in. I was impressed with him. He gave us a chance, and that's all you can ask of a goaltender."
The Detroit News's Dave Dye says that Babcock hopes to start Conklin on a regular basis:
October 14, Detroit News: Ideally, Babcock plans to play Conklin every third game in relief of starter Chris Osgood.
"My play will dictate if that holds up," Conklin said. "If I'm not playing well, he's not going to play me."
Babcock said: "If one guy's on fire and one guy can't stop a beach ball, things change."
For now, the plan is to give Conklin more than 25 starts. Babcock decided it would be extremely beneficial in Conklin's case to give him a game early in the season.
"It was more about getting the weight of the world off him," Babcock said. "Now, next time he plays, he'll feel real good. In my opinion, the job he did in Pittsburgh last year, he's not a backup goalie. He's just a good goalie."
And the Macomb Daily's Bruce MacLeod points out that the Wings had some bad luck, too:
October 14, Macomb Daily: The Red Wings had several chances to add to their lead after Holmstrom's go-ahead goal, but couldn't' until Henrik Zetterberg scored into an empty net with 15.5 seconds on the third-period clock.
Johan Franzen and Brad Stuart both hit posts in a six-minute span of the third period. Holmstrom and Dan Cleary had empty-net shots blocked by defenders later in the stanza.
Conklin, however, needed just the first two Red Wing goals to post his first victory of the season.
While DetroitRedWings.com's Michael Caples fittingly raves about Conklin in his "three questions," he also mentions why Nicklas Lidstrom merited third-star status:
October 13, DetroitRedWings.com: Who was the star of the game?
Excluding Conklin, Lidstrom gets the nod for star of the game. He scored the first goal of the game with a rocket from the point, but it was his defensive play that reminded his audience why he wins the Norris Trophy year after year. On a 5-on-3, Lidstrom interrupted the Hurricanes drive into the Detroit end three times in a row, stealing pucks and interrupting dump-ins, and on the third attempt actually drew a penalty on Brind'amour, thus negating the powerplay. Plays like that are commonplace with the Red Wings captain, but they are never overlooked.

Americans still hold a strong belief in the Bible, according to a recent Gallup poll.
Three in 10 say it is the literal word of God, while 49 percent say it is the inspired word of God but should not be taken literally.
Only 17 percent believe it is an ancient book of stories recorded by man.
Although the number of people who believe the Bible is literally true has fallen in the last two decades, Gallup points out that the dominant view in America is that the Bible is the word of God, whether inspired or literal.
Highly religious Americans, particularly those of Protestant faiths, still commonly believe in a literal interpretation of the Bible.
The polling company has tracked whether Americans take the Bible literally for the past 40 years.
Respondents to the Gallup poll were given three options as responses to the poll:
Results for this Gallup poll are based on telephone interviews conducted May 5-8, 2011, with a random sample of 1,018 adults, aged 18 and older.

A law allowing same-sex couples to adopt children was upheld by the Mexican Supreme Court in a 9-2 vote Monday.
Protesters of the law argue that children are being denied their right to having a traditional family. Gay rights advocates, however, say that the preferences of the parents don't impact a child's sexual orientation. Nine of the court's 11 justices agreed.
"There is no reliable evidence that sexual orientation determines, by itself" any other type of behavior," Justice Arturo Saldivar said, adding "the preferences of the parents do not determine (a child's) sexual orientation ... that is a discriminatory argument."
However, the court's dissenters, Chief Justice Guillermo Ortiz Mayagoitia and Justice Salvador Aguirre Anguiano, said the institution of marriage existed prior to Mexico's Constitution.
They added that traditional marriage permanently joins a man and woman with the willingness to procreate - something that would be broken should gay adoption be allowed to go forward.
Monday's ruling comes after a same-sex marriage law was passed in Mexico in March allowing married couples to adopt children, have joint bank loans, inherit wealth, and be covered by their spouses' insurance policy.
"Today, institutionalized homophobia has been buried," said Jaime Lopez Vela, a leader of the group Lesbian, Bisexual, Gay, Transsexual and Transgender Agenda. "We are happy, because now we have the same rights and responsibilities of any other married couple."

THE OWNERS of 22 bodegas and corner stores across Philadelphia believed that the narcotics officers who had sliced the wires to their surveillance cameras before allegedly looting their stores would be charged with theft and vandalism.
Three women thought they, too, would find justice after one of the officers, Thomas Tolstoy, allegedly sexually assaulted them during raids.
So yesterday, when these victims learned that federal and local prosecutors had decided not to file criminal charges against the cops, they were shocked and outraged.

at Carey
Records: Mohawk 1-2; Carey 2-1
Coaches: Mohawk, Erik Baker; Carey, Todd Worst
Last Year: Carey 55, Mohawk 7
Outlook: If you're planning on attending this game, make sure you don't get there late. With two schools that like to run the football, the game has the potential to be over in an hour and a half.
Even though Mohawk has been trying to incorporate more of a spread attack, during last week's loss to Upper Sandusky, Baker made the move back to Mohawk's traditional power style.
"We were never in the spread per se, but we were using shotgun sets trying to use our weapons in different ways," Baker said. "We want to try to be more efficient. We were trying to do too much with it I think, and it was taking away from our identity. For whatever reason, the DNA at Mohawk is power football. Our kids are comfortable in our I, Wing stuff. It seemed that after we made the switch last week, even our defense hit harder.
"The gun stuff that we wanted to incorporate, the things we do well out of it we were keeping. Some of the things that were kinda accessories, we're de-emphasizing, just trying to get the most of the skills Drew Loose has."
The ability to run either style of offense gives Worst a number of things to prepare for, although he says he's expecting more of a power game.
"We're going to have to try to prepare for both, but knowing he's probably leaning more towards his typical power game," Worst said. "That's what's worked well for him traditionally. If they got the kids to execute it, I think they'll come out in the power game."
Carey's known for their wishbone attack, but Baker sees a more diverse Blue Devil team.
"In their own way, they are more multiple this year than I've ever seen them," he said. "They'll get in the I Flat and run toss and sweep. They got a couple gun sets, a trips and a double, their traditional wishbone. ... All their formations though, they still like to run option out of all of them."
Worst's team has rebounded with two-straight victories after an opening week loss to Upper Sandusky. He sees it as a sign his young player are gaining experience.
"Our kids are trying to get better one week to the next," he said. "We hope our kids are going to get better with experience. We got some young kids coming into their own. In the next couple weeks, we don't want to talk about how young we are but rather a traditionally strong Carey football team.
One player gaining experience is quarterback Matthew Holsinger, who's improved each week as the Blue Devil starter.
"It's kind of typical of our offense. The more looks you get, the better you get at making reads, and making good decisions in our passing game," Worst said. "The stats don't show the number of passes we called, where we made good decisions to tuck it away and run, or made the right reed on the play."
North Baltimore
at Hopewell-Loudon
Records: North Baltimore 1-2; Hopewell-Loudon 1-2.
Coaches: North Baltimore, Dino Woodruff; Hopewell-Loudon, Jeremy Nutter.
Last year: Hopewell-Loudon 56, North Baltimore 6.
Outlook: The games between these two squads haven't been that competitive recently, with the Chieftains being a perennial playoff contender and North Baltimore having a string of difficult seasons.
But the teams come into Friday's Midland Athletic League opener with matching 1-2 records, and the Tigers having one of the better running backs in the league. Dalton Ishmael is averaging more than 82 yards rushing a game and six yards a carry.
"He's tough to tackle one-on-one and we're gonna have to hustle to the ball," Nutter said.
Not that Nutter is expecting it to be the Ishmael show Friday night.
"(The Tigers) seem to be a little more mixed in their pass and run," Nutter said. "They put some stress on your defensive backs. That's a concern for us."
In Hopewell-Loudon's 35-7 loss to Northwood, Nutter said the Chieftains' struggles related to the offense's miscues.
"I thought overall, we played well enough to win defensively," he said. "We turned the ball over entirely too much; when we get the chance to score we need to score."
Fremont St. Joe
at Seneca East
Records: Fremont St. Joe 2-1; Seneca East 3-0
Coaches: Fremont St. Joe, Scott Knisley; Seneca East, Ed Phillips
Last Year: Seneca East 26, Fremont St. Joe 10
Outlook: The Midland Athletic League schedule is just beginning this week, and kicking off the conference year is a game that looks to go a long way into deciding who's standing on top seven weeks from now.
The Streaks and Tigers have had two of the most impressive runs through non-conference play and are ranked one and two in the MAL in offense.
Phillips is expecting a solid team all the way around to come into Attica Friday night.
"St. Joe is a pretty good football team, pretty well-rounded," Phillips said. "They're big up front and skilled in skilled positions. Same thing goes for them on the defensive end of the ball. They got good size on their line and got some real good athletes at linebacker and in the defensive backfield."
St. Joe comes into the game as the league's top passing team by a wide margin. Its 286 passing yards a game is nearly double the next highest team (Calvert with 146.3).
They have three of the top receivers in the league in Luke Stierwalt (1st), Jordan Sessler (2nd) and Alex Veleba (5th). Phillips feels they are most dangerous after they catch the ball.
"They sling it around pretty good," he said. "We know they're going to complete some passes, we just need to make sure after they catch it, they don't get extra yards. That's when they do their most damage, after they make the catch. They're a good run after the catch football team.
"We're not fooled though, we know they can also run it pretty good. They like to spread you out, get guys out of the box. Then their quarterback is a good runner and they got a couple good running backs too."
Seneca East though has its own fair share of weapons. Starting quarterback Ethan Caudill, who was injured week one, is getting healthier each week. However, his backup, Jordan Phillips, has shown to be more than just a capable fill-in.
"Ethan's pretty much full-go. Jordan gives us something different back there and we like him back there too," Phillips said. "He's a good weapon to put back there for a change up every once in a while. Ethan's foot is getting better each week so now he can do more of those things too."
at Buckeye Central
Coaches: Gabe Helbert, Wynford; Jason Ratliff, Buckeye Central.
Record: Wynford, 3-0; Buckeye Central, 1-2.
Last year: Wynford squashed the Bucks, 38-6.
Outlook: When it comes to curing the Bucks' ills this season, Ratliff said one needs to look no farther than execution.
"I think we have found out that we need to do things the correct way all the time. If we aren't able to do that, it's going to cost us a lot of ballgames," he said. "These kids are getting a lot of experience and at this point should be able to step up and be ready to play."
If the Bucks want an example of how that's done, they can look across the line this week as Wynford comes to New Washington.
"We play a team that doesn't make any mistakes where all 11 guys on the field do their job all the time," Ratliff said.
As much as Wynford changes personnel the more things stay the same. After three straight college-bound quarterbacks, the Royals have yet another quarterback who can run and pass. Junior Brock Williamson has thrown for 464 yards and five scores through three weeks. He's also rushed for 191 yards and another two TDs.
In the backfield, Corey Brown has rushed for 269 yards and three touchdowns.
"They have a nice team and they have good offensive and defensive lines," Ratliff said. "Their offensive line up front, gets the job done."
Ratliff said the other change that hasn't had any effect is the retirement of Travis Moyer.
"Gabe was an assistant and he's followed the same blueprint and their kids do a good job following the same gameplan," Ratliff said.
The veteran Bucks' coach said there will be some changes on offense this week. One kid who won't be moving around is sophomore Seth Ollis. He's been playing on both sides of the ball for the Bucks so far and Ratliff said he's impressed out of the gate.
"I think Seth does what he's asked to do and he listens to what we have said to him," Ratliff said, "and if a lot of kids can follow in his footsteps and do what they are asked to do, that will help us down the road."
at Upper Sandusky
Coaches: Chris Hawkins, Galion; Jake Moyer, Upper Sandusky.
Record: Galion, 2-1; Upper Sandusky, 2-1
Last year: Galion annihilated the Rams, 47-14.
Outlook: Despite being 2-1, Moyer doesn't feel the Rams have reached their pinnacle yet.
"We have not played our best football as a team. We have to get both sides playing well at the same time," Moyer said. "We have to have our offense play more consistent and the defense not give up the best pass play."
If the Rams want to make it 3-1, Moyer said his team will have to do some very specific things against a Galion team that was pegged in the preseason to be one of the North Central Conference's best.
"Our primary objective is going to be control the clock," Moyer said. "We're going to need to have long drives and finally score and keep them from the quick strikes. If we can do that, we have a chance."
After a 14-7 loss to Mansfield in the season opener, the Tigers have scored 108 in their next two games.
"Galion has two very outstanding athletes, David Nay and Dareian Watkins," Moyer said. "They can take the ball the length of the field in a moment's notice."
Nay has rushed for 294 yards on 47 carries and found the end zone four times. Meanwhile, Watkins has thrown for 168 yards and four scores and added another 107 on the ground with two touchdowns. Both players are being looked at by Division I schools for their football prowess, including some Big Ten schools.
In fact, because of Nay being back on kickoffs, Moyer said their strategy may be modified since Nay is averaging 37 yards a return.
"I told our kickoff team, if we kick it out of bounds every time, you'll get a gold star," Moyer said.
Moyer said Galion's defense is just as vicious.
"The defense is dynamic because it's very aggressive," he said. "They rush up the field very hard and try to keep you from the big play."
Genoa at Fostoria
2012: Genoa 3-0; Fostoria 0-3.
Coaches: Mike Vicars, Genoa; Jim Kelly, Fostoria.
Last year: Genoa 55, Fostoria 0.
Outlook: There have been two constants for Fostoria so far this year: Tough opponents and camaraderie. The first won't change Friday, and Kelly feels the second won't either.
"I think it's been pretty good. Certainly you get down when you lose, but the one thing is, we've stuck together. Our kids are here, we're still getting at it," Kelly said.
"Our message with the the kids has been 'stay with it, we're going to be fine,'" he said.
That will get challenged in Friday's Northern Buckeye Conference opener.
Genoa enters averaging 50 points per game in its march for another playoff appearance, shooting for that goal with a very familiar approach.
"They're very physical. They've been there and run that system in Genoa for the better part of eight years. They run it in high school and junior high, they have a system that they know. They've run it, they're accustomed to it," Kelly said.
"We're going to have to tackle and play good fundamental football. We can do that," he said. "We need to keep with it and keep hanging with it and get better."
Despite last week's weather-shortened 47-0 loss to Columbian, Kelly said he saw positives from his Redmen, such as a goal-line stand at the end of the first half against TC's starting offense and a sustained drive in the second half that ended on downs inside Columbian's 20.
He said Fostoria needs more of that effort throughout the game this week, especially as the Redmen try to improve an offense that's scored just once this year.
"The big thing for us is, we faced opponents that were just so good. Because of that we've had to do some things that took us away from our spread offense," Kelly said. "It's made it difficult. We've tried to get back to our spread offense and be more proficient."

Live updates
Somerset pensioner came face to face with gunman who killed 38 tourists in Tunisia
A Somerset pensioner has spoken exclusively to ITV News West Country about the moment he came face to face with a gunman in the Tunisian terrorist attack in which 38 holidaymakers died.
Keith Hawkes, a former Gurkha from Highbridge, risked his own life when he ran towards the gunfire to see how he could help those being shot. He says there was a second gunman firing at tourists.
Mr Hawkes said: "All of a sudden there was three or four very loud bangs. I recognised these bangs as gunshots straight away having experienced it many, many times during my army service. I looked down across the pool and I could see people running towards us."
"Everybody then got up and started to run. I grabbed hold of my wife and we both took cover behind a wall."
"I looked round and saw a man with an AK47 rifle slung across the front of his body. He wasn't actually looking at me, he was looking down at a phone that he had in his hand. Someone shouted that he was another gunman."
"There was an injured person just to our right and we were talking to him, telling him to keep quiet and not to move."
"Then there was another loud bang and he'd fired a shot in the reception area. We were just so, so lucky. The bullets came in our direction. I know that because we were immediately below the glass doors"
"I looked down to my left and I saw there was a man with his head in his hands who was sobbing. He told me he had just lost his wife. He said they just shot her through the neck and what could I do? I just had to console him. That's all I could do."
"I then went down to the swimming pool and picked up some towels and began to cover the bodies."
Run away mum will not be jailed after ex-partner drops proceedings
Roger Williams has dropped legal proceedings against his former partner after she went on the run with their three-year-old son.
Rebecca Minnock will now face no further action after she breached court orders by fleeing her home on May 27, following a ruling her son Ethan should live with his 39-year-old father.
After handing herself in two weeks later, Mr Williams said he wished to pursue the 35-year-old for breaching 10 court orders made during the custody battle for Ethan
But today, his barrister told Judge Stephen Wildblood QC, sitting at Bristol Magistrates' Court, that he wished to drop the application and "draw a line".
Rebecca Minnock appears in court
Rebecca Minnock is due in court this morning as she faces committal proceedings launched by her ex-partner, Roger Williams.
Two court hearings will take place in Bristol - with the second tomorrow - which could see the mother-of-one jailed for being in contempt of court.
Runaway mum could face jail
Rebecca Minnock, who went on the run with her three-year-old son during a bitter custody battle could be jailed.
The 25-year-old is facing committal proceedings launched by her ex-partner Roger Williams after she defied two court orders concerning their son Ethan Williams.
Two court hearings will take place in Bristol this week, which could see the mother-of-one jailed for contempt of court.
Judge Stephen Wildblood QC said would there would be a directions hearing on Wednesday, ahead of the full hearing on Friday. Both will be heard at Bristol Magistrates' Court.
Man jailed over runaway mum could be prosecuted
A man jailed for lying about his role in the disappearance of a mother and her son from Highbridge could face perjury charges.
Andrew Butt has been freed, after apologising for lying in court about the whereabouts of his partner's daughter, Rebecca Minnock and her three year old son Ethan. The judge at Bristol Crown Court told Mr Butt he had disgraced himself and could still be prosecuted.
On leaving Bristol Crown Court, Mr Butt had this to say:
Meanwhile, the boy's father, Roger Williams, had until today (17 June) to decide whether or not he feels Rebecca Minnock should face contempt proceedings or not.
Ms Minnock will be told tomorrow (18 June) if she will face the charges - after breaking a court order and taking off with her son.
WATCH: Orphaned baby rabbit rescued in Somerset
A wildlife rescue centre in Somerset is appealing for support after finding record numbers of animals needing its help this summer.
1,000 casualties have come through Secret World Wildlife's doors in Highbridge in the last month, including 80 in one day alone.
They include an orphaned baby bat the size of a 50p piece, a little owl on antibiotics for respiratory problems and a baby rabbit who needs feeding.
Herman, who is almost three weeks old, weighed just 70g when he was taken in, but has been growing steadily, and is now up to 98g. He's being syringe-fed goat milk, which tries to imitate his natural diet. Looks like he likes it!
The centre hopes to get all its patients back to the wild by the end of the summer, and has launched a fundraising appeal to help it do that.
Find out more here.
Runaway mum could face jail
A mother from Somerset who went on the run with her three-year-old son during a bitter custody battle, could be jailed if her ex-partner starts legal proceedings against her.
Roger Williams has until 4.30pm to decide if he wants to bring contempt proceedings against Rebecca Minnock - for defying two court orders.

Ethan's dad speaks of his relief at having his son home
The father of a three-year-old boy who went on the run for 17 days with his mother during a bitter custody battle has spoken of his "huge relief" that his son has been returned safely.
Roger Williams, who is 39 and from Burnham-on-Sea, described the last few weeks and months as a "time of immense anxiety and distress" and said he is grateful to everyone who helped bring his son Ethan home.
He released a short statement days after his ex-partner Rebecca Minnock, 35, handed herself into the authorities with their son Ethan.
Mr Williams will have the final say whether Ethan's mother, Rebecca Minnock, should be prosecuted for Contempt of Court.
Runaway mum's behaviour "utterly irresponsible"
A Somerset mother who went on the run with her son after losing a custody battle has been called "utterly irresponsible" by a judge.
Rebecca Minnock, 35, from Highbridge, appeared at Bristol Crown Court today as a hearing was held to decide her three-year-old son Ethan's immediate future.
She went into hiding with him for over two weeks after a judge ruled that Ethan should live with his father Roger Williams, and that Ms Minnock only be allowed supervised contact after she made a series of false allegations against her former partner.
Judge Stephen Wildblood QC said her actions in running away had amounted to an irresponsible publicity stunt.
Rebecca Minnock, who previously said she had "felt trapped", handed herself and her son in to the police on Friday night after 17 days in hiding and a nationwide search. Ethan is now with his father. The judge has said he will do everything possible to ensure the boy has "an effective relationship" with both parents.
There were no criminal proceedings against Ms Minnock today, and all subsequent family hearings will be held in private.

MADISON, Wis. - A Wisconsin father convicted of abuse for starving his teenage daughter down to 68 pounds was sentenced today to five years in prison.
Before being sentenced by Dane County Circuit Judge Julie Genovese, the 42-year-old man read a statement insisting his daughter suffered from severe emotional and behavioral problems that he couldn't handle, that his job as a trucker kept him away from home and that he didn't notice how thin she had become.
"There was no master plan against my daughter," the man said, his voice breaking at times. "I was bailing water from a sinking boat with my bare hands."
The case came to light in February 2012 when the girl, then 15, ran away from her family's Madison home and was picked up by a passing motorist. The girl told investigators had spent most of the previous five years confined to the home's basement and was denied food.
Genovese said it was clear the girl had problems and that everyone who encountered her failed her. But, she told the father, "it's your turn to accept your part in this."
"What I think you did was put your head in the sand. It's your job as a dad to see it and you didn't. Really, the buck stops with you," the judge said.
The girl also told investigators that stepmother beat her, her stepbrother repeatedly forced her to perform oral sex on him and she was forced to eat her feces and drink her own urine.
"They made me feel like I was dehumanized a lot," the girl said in a letter to Genovese. "It's all thanks to my stupid dad and stepmom for not giving me an education and keeping me locked up for most of my life and making me feel like I was in a scary spot in my life."
The Associated Press generally doesn't name potential sexual assault victims and isn't naming anyone in the family to avoid identifying the girl.

In the days leading up to Saturday's NJSIAA Central Jersey Group III title game, they are directors of the research and development department.
On game day itself, they are the commanders of the football equivalent of a SWAT team — using special tactics and rapid response to quell in-game emergencies.
When Lawrence High tangles with Hopewell Valley at The College of New Jersey Saturday, 7:30 p.m., the strategic matchup between Hopewell Valley offensive coordinator Todd Smith and Lawrence defensive coordinator Dean Mason should be one of the most interesting and critical microcosms in a game between the two premier teams in the Times' area.
Without a Thanksgiving Day game to interrupt sectional final preparations, Smith and Mason — along with their unit colleagues — spent a week poring over game tapes looking for clues and developing a plan. Along the way they added and subtracted, tested and tried, discussed and debated.
Yet as important as what they did before the game will be, what they do once it begins will probably decide the outcome of the first sectional championship game between two Mercer County teams.
"When I was a younger coach, it was like putting the round peg in the square hole," Smith said. "But as I've gotten older, you see things faster. But the challenge of making adjustments is a fun part of the game. It's all about responding to what you see on the field and I think it's pretty much par for the course in today's game."
Mason, a 30-year coach with Lawrence, has experience coaching nearly every position. He returned to the defensive coordinator's job during the 2012 season and takes a simple approach to defense out of a 4-3 alignment.
"I'm not a big blitz guy," said Mason. "We've gotten pressure with our front four and I'm hoping we can do that again."
Smith pointed out, however, that when Lawrence does blitz it has had smashing results.
"Lawrence has done a good job of getting after the quarterback with their front four," Smith said. "But Dean does a great job of choosing when to bring pressure. Last week, he brought it, they created a turnover and scored off it.
"The Lawrence guys up front are athletic and make plays," Smith added.
Running out of pro and multiple-I sets, HoVal's mantra has been offensive balance.
"I was a little heavy on the passing side with some of my South teams," Smith said. "But this is the most balanced team I've ever coached.
"All we want to do is make the calls that get the ball into the hands of our playmakers as often as possible." And Smith has plenty to choose from.
"Todd (Smith) is very good at what he does. Hopewell isn't as crazy with formations as say a Burlington Township, but he will use multiple sets, shotgun, motion and empty sets. We'd like to try and keep it simple, but Todd makes it complicated for a defense."
With the return of Anthony Ammirata, a former Lawrence defensive coordinator, Mason has turned the Cardinals into a dominating defensive team.
"I will point out a few things, but Dean has complete autonomy," said Lawrence head coach Rob Radice. "We don't think we can stop Todd and Hopewell Valley, but are looking to slow them down a little."
Mason will tell you that isn't going to be easy.
"They have a north-south runner in Andrew Yuska, who always seems to hit the hole quickly and hard," Mason said. "They have a quarterback (Austin Fellows) with a big arm. The have a big-play wide receiver in Mike Gies, who is dangerous after the catch and other receivers who keep you guessing. They're very good."
Smith and Mason also believe it comes down to execution and doing the little things.
"This week will about fine-tuning the things we've done since August," Smith said. "But we will try to keep the defense guessing."
"I believe defense comes down to winning your own personal battle on every down," Mason added. "To me, defense is all about desire."
The Cardinals have had plenty of it, too. Cameren Kitchen and Lester Miller are disruptive forces at defensive end, Jordan Fleming is a run-stopper in the middle of the defensive line and while unheralded, the Lawrence linebackers are effective and strong tacklers.
"You know Todd is going to have some wrinkle you haven't seen before," Mason said. "I'm impressed with their screen game. We know the things Hopewell does well; it's the unexpected things that will keep us guessing."
Both coaches, like the way they run their teams, were trying to keep it simple yesterday.
"Let's just see how the game unfolds," Smith said.
