What National Ag Day Means to Me
National Ag Day is being celebrated today, and it is a poignant celebration for my family this year. Dad suffered a brain injury when he fell in his farm shop in Maryland in January. After a month in hospitals, he is recovering steadily at home under the watchful care of my mother, but the future of the farm is uncertain.
Dad, 76, was farming full time when he had his accident, raising pick-your-own strawberries and raspberries (strawberryfarm.com). He was in the fields at dawn every day hoeing weeds, moving irrigation pipe, pruning, and doing all the chores necessary to produce a top quality crop.
Now he struggles to navigate the front porch steps, and uses a cane to walk slowly to the end of the lane to get the mail. As I walked with him up the lane on Saturday, I saw my sister working in her cherry trees on the hill. She produces pick-your-own sweet cherries under high tunnels. The job of managing Dad's farm, including the finances, has now been added to her duties (she also has a full-time career in ag lending).
I live 1,100 miles away on a small farm in Iowa. All I can do for my parents is fly in every few months for moral support. If you are the "far-away" child in your family, you know what I mean.
Spring is here, and there are a multitude of chores to be done to prepare the fields for the picking season. My sister was installing row covers on Saturday, with the help of a hired crew, to keep deer from eating the strawberries. Dad has been watching the deer out the living room window, and says they are extra thin and desperate after the hard winter.
The farm's standing order for new strawberry plants was cancelled last week. The field prep and other chores with new plants are more than my sister can manage. Dad hopes to plant another variety in the fall.
Yesterday in Washington D.C. I listened to Deputy Secretary of Agriculture Krysta Harden speak at the kickoff for National Ag Day. Her family farm in Georgia has similar transition challenges. "I'm faced with issues a lot of farmers and ranchers are faced with," she said. "I want to make sure the farm stays in the family and stays in agriculture."
Young farmers are her special focus at USDA. "We need to make sure we have a bench in agriculture," said Harden. "It's personal for me."
Farming is personal. Celebrate National Ag Day. Hug a farmer.

ŌĆ£ThereŌĆÖs a lot of perplexity in ŌĆśHillbilly Blood,ŌĆÖŌĆØ Bolejack said. ŌĆ£On one hand, it can be silly and entertaining, and on the other is a lot of valid information on how to survive and thrive in the outdoors.ŌĆØ
With the second season currently hitting the airwaves, the premise of the program follows Bolejack, 36, and Runkis, 44, around the woods of Haywood County, where they cross paths with skilled craftsman and figure out planned scenarios or get out of surprising situations.
ŌĆ£We concentrate on community, fellowship with neighbors, helping people out when youŌĆÖre supposed to, which are all Southern Appalachian values,ŌĆØ Runkis said. ŌĆ£Spencer and I come up with and build ideas, figure out storylines and invite guests into the show.ŌĆØ
Each episode features another member of the local community, ranging from a blacksmith to moonshiner to sawmill operator. One day, theyŌĆÖre making a canoe out of a burned out log; the next, theyŌĆÖre creating electricity with firewood or finding the ideal method to distill moonshine.
ŌĆ£With this show, we want people to see that hillbillies are intelligent people and not necessarily stupid, grass-chewing people,ŌĆØ Runkis said. ŌĆ£If somebody calls me a hillbilly, I look at it as a badge of honor because theyŌĆÖre telling me IŌĆÖm intelligent.ŌĆØ
Taking the outdoors online
The show all started two years ago when the duo, who didnŌĆÖt know each other previously, were approached by the television channel 3net, which is a 3D station owned by the Discovery Channel.
ŌĆ£When we first did this, there was no other 3D show like ours,ŌĆØ Runkis said. ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs a run and gun camera operation where you get 3D moments like when IŌĆÖm chopping wood and a chip flies ŌĆśout of the screen.ŌĆÖŌĆØ
After a successful first season, the program moved up the ladder to the Destination America channel. As the notoriety and success began to snowball, so did the exposure with episodes now airing on the Discovery Channel to a lot of viewer curiosity.
ŌĆ£Honestly, I think the show is happening on some deep level that people are able to perceive, where once they get past the humor you can get into things about community friendship and start to see lessons within lessons,ŌĆØ Bolejack said.
Before they became television stars, both men had found Internet success during the past several years by posting survival videos on YouTube to millions of views and thousands of subscribers. Bolejack (under the online handle ŌĆ£WindRider707ŌĆØ) would post clips of his martial arts and outdoor skills, while Runkis (ŌĆ£TrapperJackSurvivalŌĆØ) uploaded dozens of videos showcasing his survival techniques.
Through his videos and Land of the Sky Wilderness School summer camps he conducts throughout the region, Bolejack, a resident of Bethel, was soon contacted by the television network about doing a series. It would be another year of talks before Runkis, hailing from Little Canada in Jackson County, was brought in as the last piece of the puzzle.
ŌĆ£The network found my videos, liked what I was saying and contacted me to see if I wanted to do a series,ŌĆØ Runkis chuckled. ŌĆ£I really didnŌĆÖt know what to think about the whole thing. But, I stuck my neck out and told them IŌĆÖd participate.ŌĆØ
With the plans in motion, Runkis had one last obstacle to overcome, which was to demonstrate to Superfine Films ŌĆö the Manhattan-based production company behind the show ŌĆö just how good his outdoor skills really were. For his presentation, Runkis made a shotgun out of part of a princess tree. He hollowed out a branch, stuffed it with gunpowder and shells, and lit the fuse to a successful blast. With that, Superfine had found their perfect co-star for Bolejack.
Into the wild
An 11th generation North Carolinian, Bolejack was raised on a tobacco farm, the family business, in Pilot Mountain. After the farm went under, he and his parents relocated to the forest outside of Asheville, where they lived off the land and enjoyed the fruits of not only their labor, but also of the natural beauty encapsulating them.
ŌĆ£I was a Boy Scout and an only child, so being the only child in a family that doesnŌĆÖt buy a lot of things, you get outside and do things,ŌĆØ he said. ŌĆ£My father would always take me into the mountains. It was hard for me to stay focused in the classroom because I liked being outdoors too much.ŌĆØ
Those academic hardships put Bolejack at odds with the school. He was soon placed into an outdoor survival program aimed at reaching troubled youth, helping them find their inner potential on missions and treks in the great outdoors.
ŌĆ£A kid with ADHD, they have this big turbine in their mind and not enough water to run it, so they create their own information, and thatŌĆÖs what causes problems,ŌĆØ he said. ŌĆ£But outside, the turbine starts to run correctly, and they quickly realize their value as a human being.ŌĆØ
After graduating from UNC-Asheville, Bolejack went into teaching, only to be let go a few years later due to budget constraints. While he was teaching, he held martial arts seminars and started up Land of the Sky. With his layoff came the opportunity to find a way to make his hobbies into a career. The classes grew in popularity, with Bolejack teaching anyone interested in learning the discipline, patience and humility of truly being one with your surroundings.
ŌĆ£There are a lot of similarities between martial arts and being in the wilderness,ŌĆØ he said. ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs about being aware, being humble. You can get knocked down in martial arts as easy as you can in the woods.ŌĆØ
Heading South
Runkis got his first taste of the outdoors growing up on his grandfatherŌĆÖs 80-acre property in the isolated forests of the Upper Peninsula in Michigan. He joined the Boy Scouts and ran around the woods, learning the proper techniques in trapping and orienteering, all the while harboring an ever-growing appreciation for nature.
ŌĆ£We all participate in nature, the trees and all of the animals participate in it,ŌĆØ he said. ŌĆ£Everything has its place, and by just making use of everything you can find out there, wild plants and animals, you help the natural cogs of the machine function.ŌĆØ
As a teenager, Runkis relocated to Florida, where he began to apprentice as a carpenter. He built restaurants, churches and homes around the South, eventually finding his way to Western North Carolina, a place where he had family and soon came to adore after several trips to the area. After 14 years in Jackson County, he had grown as attached to the forest as a mature tree tucked away in the deep wilderness of Southern Appalachia.
ŌĆ£I was learning a lot about bush craft, where I was building log cabins using all the traditional pioneer methods, woodworking, splitting logs, healing logs,ŌĆØ he said. ŌĆ£I learned it all, and I enjoyed it as much back then as I do today. ItŌĆÖs a big part of what I teach.ŌĆØ
In 2008, he launched his ŌĆ£TrapperJackSurvivalŌĆØ channel (after a wilderness mentor in Michigan named Jack) channel on YouTube to great fanfare. The initial intent of the videos was to promote an outfitter store he had hoped to open in Florida. The store never really got off the ground, but the videos kept being made. It was an outlet that would soon prove worthwhile once television came knocking on his door.
ŌĆ£IŌĆÖm always discovering something new,ŌĆØ he said. ŌĆ£The more you use the techniques, the more you learn from it.ŌĆØ
Roll camera
Throughout each of the 12 episodes of season two, Bolejack and Runkis bring on one person whose background provides the storyline of the program. Owner of CheyenneŌĆÖs Corner (located in the Bethel Grocery), Cheyenne Keener specializes in hunting and fishing supplies. Hillbilly Blood used his shop on a couple of episodes, where Keener became a character that helped the duo find what they needed for their next quest.
ŌĆ£I was pretty surprised that they wanted to a film a show here,ŌĆØ Keener laughed. ŌĆ£But, it all went pretty great, and IŌĆÖve made a lot of good friends with members of the production company over the two seasons.ŌĆØ
And though the series is meant to be educational entertainment, something to be taken with a grain of salt and hearty laugh, controversy has risen with local residents and viewers alike pointing out the falsity of the show, where at some plot points it seems that southern ŌĆ£hillbillyŌĆØ stereotypes may be perpetuated.
ŌĆ£Everybody is going to have their own opinion, and thereŌĆÖs never going to be a time where everybody is in agreement,ŌĆØ Keener said. ŌĆ£It was something fun to do, and Spencer and Eugene never set out to do something that would offend people.ŌĆØ
ŌĆ£Everything that we show is almost always something weŌĆÖve done in real life,ŌĆØ Bolejack added. ŌĆ£In one episode, we were ŌĆślost in the woods,ŌĆÖ and I donŌĆÖt feel disingenuous because it was staged. I lived in the woods for a very long time, and guided wilderness tours for most of my life. IŌĆÖve been in those situations, wandering through swamps, lost, hungry, scared, so to make a show about it doesnŌĆÖt feel false to me at all.ŌĆØ
Brought on for three episodes, Caleb Burress was not only a character but also found work as a member of the build crew. Burress and his father were brought on as blacksmiths. Bolejack and Runkis came to fix a pigpen when their tomahawk broke, and the blacksmiths had to make another one to be able to complete the project.
ŌĆ£We had already slaughtered the pigs, so the production company had to rent a couple from Asheville,ŌĆØ Caleb smiled.
No stranger to the spotlight, Caleb had done a lot of community theatre and productions for his blacksmithing during the years. When brought on the show, he had to play coy, as if everything was a surprise. His band SoldierŌĆÖs Heart, a Haywood County-based ŌĆ£down home porch and soulŌĆØ group, performed for the season two finale.
ŌĆ£I acted like I showed up, was a character on the show, then built part of the stage as a member of the crew, then got up there and played on it,ŌĆØ he said. ŌĆ£If youŌĆÖre looking for truth in television, youŌĆÖre barking up the wrong tree.ŌĆØ
David Burnette, a skilled craftsman in many different trades known for his work at Cradle of Forestry, was incorporated into the program with his old-time functioning sawmill in Canton. Bolejack and Runkis had recovered a valuable white oak log submerged in a nearby lake. They came to Burnette to get the log cut and see what it was worth.
While the log was getting cut, the belt on the machine snapped and the duo came to the rescue by rigging a toe strap in place of the belt, thus kicking the saw back into gear.
ŌĆ£Hollywood puts its spin on it to get people to watch. If it was something that was going to make fun of mountain people, I wouldnŌĆÖt have done it,ŌĆØ Burnette said.
So why does the viewing public have such a fascination with Hillbilly Blood?
ŌĆ£My daddy always said some people today forgot how to live, people have lost their way and are searching for something,ŌĆØ Burnette said. ŌĆ£People living here in the mountains could have lived anywhere, but we stayed here and are happy with what we have, and a lot of people donŌĆÖt seem to understand that mindset.ŌĆØ
Onward and upward
With season two expected to wrap up on-air in the coming weeks, plans are already in the works for the production to return to Haywood County for season three filming this summer.
ŌĆ£I do take it in stride, and I donŌĆÖt take it to seriously,ŌĆØ Bolejack said. ŌĆ£ThereŌĆÖs both criticism and praise for our characters, and IŌĆÖm just me and try to stay removed from that to stay sane.ŌĆØ
Runkis looks forward to ŌĆ£upping the anteŌĆØ in story concepts and characters involved. HeŌĆÖs excited about doing bigger builds and being able to share even more special experiences one can cross paths with in these majestic mountains.
ŌĆ£This place is a gem and people here live by older values,ŌĆØ he said. ŌĆ£The communities here are like they were a hundred years ago ŌĆö nothing changes, nothing goes unused, and nothing gets wasted.ŌĆØ
Though the show is scripted, and many of the scenarios staged in order to move the filming process and viewer interest along, what remains at the end of the day are real life people with intricate skills and talents, living in Southern Appalachian communities as unique as the characters themselves.
ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs about using whatŌĆÖs around you and learning to become humble about it; itŌĆÖs about feeling alive while building and creating,ŌĆØ he said. ŌĆ£WeŌĆÖre not guaranteed a lot of things we take for granted, and when you learn to build a fire yourself, when you learn the plants around you, then you learn to appreciate nature more, and thatŌĆÖs empowering.ŌĆØ
EditorŌĆÖs Note: Superfine Films was contacted by The Smoky Mountain News for comments on this story but had not responded by presstime.

Dawn Valdes is a very arrogant person. She had the attitude that because I need help with addiction problems I was somehow beneath her. She seemed very pleasant until my check cleared. Bottom line. She is not in the business to help others. Only to profit off of the misery of others.

4-21-09 PNC Park
I had several things working in my favor today.
1) The Penguins had a playoff game at the same time the Pirates had their game today. This would lead to drastically reduced attendance figures.
2) The weather forecast was menacing. With dark clouds and some rain showers moving through around 4 PM. Rain tends to keep folks at home also.
3) It was a weekday game. The Pirates do not draw on well on weekday night games.
4) There was only one other decent ballhawk in attendance.
5) I had plenty of space in my backpack.
I got to the stadium around 4:15PM and was second in line. When the gates opened, I was the second into the bleachers. I went over to my spot in left center field and hoped for a home run to come. A Pirates batter drove a ball to left center field. There were maybe four people there for the first ten minutes, so I ranged far to my left towards the bullpen. The ball skipped off the bullpen wall. Oh well. I walked back and looked down. I saw a speck of white under a bleacher. A ball was lying tucked up against the concrete step and a bleacher support. It was well hidden, but not anymore. I reached down and picked up ball #1.
Craig Monroe was the next batter. He hit a drive to deep left center. The ball hit off a bleacher and bounced back onto the field. Matt Capps walked over and picked it up. I called out for the ball and Capps flipped it to me. I had ball #2, and #199 of my career.
The Pirates ended their BP at 5:10. I had two balls after 10 minutes. Not bad. The Marlins came out to take Batting Practice. I changed into the Marlins gear that I wore yesterday. Coach Bo Porter came out with a bat and started hitting line drives off the wall so Brett Carroll could get a read on how to play the richochets. Bo's second hit was a hard line drive that cleared the wall. It literally almost took out two ushers who were standing in the aisle cleaning the water off the seats. I didn't get that ball, but moved over to the spot that Bo was hitting the ball so I could snag one if he hit it over the wall again. Porter started hitting hard grounders at the wall, wary of what he had just done minutes early. After Porter and Carroll were done playing balls off the wall, I asked Brett Carroll for the ball. He briefly glanced at me and saw my Marlins gear and tossed me ball #3, and #200 of my ballhawking career.
The first group of Marlins weren't hitting many home runs, so I tried to get some more baseballs from the pitchers. I received ball #4 from an unidentified Marlin.
Can anyone help me out? I got his attention and asked for the ball. He looked at me and waved. I asked him one more time for the ball in case he didn't hear the first time. He then flipped the ball up to me.
Another ball rolled to the wall and Renyel Pinto walked over to pick it up.
I made my way over to the bullpen area. There was a ball laying in the Pirates bullpen. It was directly below me, about 5 feet out from the wall. The ball was laying in a groove of dirt between the grass and a green carpet walkway. It was in an indention of about maybe an inch or less. I wanted to try the glove trick but I didn't want to struggle with it. It would've been hard to bat the ball closer to the wall with the glov
e to begin with because of the groove it was in. Also, the main security office is directly behind the bullpen with large windows. I felt I was being watched. I didn't want to risk it so I waited for someone to come out to the bullpen. I waited for about 20 minutes until finally Jason Jaramillo and Joe Kerrigan came out to remove the bullpen tarp and get ready for Jeff Karsten's warm up. I asked Jaramillo first for the ball, but was ignored. I then asked Joe Kerrigan and he picked the ball up, looked up to see who asked, and flipped me the ball. It was ball #8 on the day, and a new personal one day record for me.
I decided to try for double digits, and stadium domination. I asked John Baker for his warm up ball in center field before the game, but I don't think he heard me.
The game then began. I stood in center field for most of the game. My plan was to try and get the outfielders' warm up balls.
This was my view. (picture was taken in about the 4th inning – notice the empty seats!)
Before the first inning began, I found a fairly empty section in center field and stood with my glove ready, awaiting Nate McLouth's warm up ball.
When he was done tossing with Brandon Moss, Nate turned and threw me his warm up ball. It was ball #9.
I continued to roam the outfield in hopes of catching a home run ball or another warm up ball. I snapped a few more pictures of random things, like Pittsburgh at night.
In the 4th inning, I decided to try for a Marlins warm up ball.
I walked over to this unknown pitcher
and asked for a warm up ball when he was done throwing. He looked at me, saw my Marlins T-shirt and threw me ball #10. Reynel Pinto whistled at me and called me over to the bullpen. I thought he was going to scold me because I heard him telling someone earlier in batting practice, "You already got one!" I walked over and talked to him through the chain link fence.
"Aren't you cold man?" He said. I told him I was, but I'd be alright. I wanted to show my Marlins shirt off. "You're crazy man, this weather is terrible." I thought about asking him for a Marlins bullpen jacket, but that would've been a ridiculous request.
I was now 1 ball away from the PNC Park record for most balls in one game (as known to me). A ballhawk with initials MG got 11 balls on 9/20/08 last year, the last batting practice of the regular season. I would've liked to tie or beat him, as I was getting dissed earlier in the day by the same ballhawk.
I went over to the right field wall in the 6th inning.
It was Brandon Moss' turn to throw. He threw the ball to the cluster of fans seated to the left of the foul pole, near the top of the section. None of them had a glove. I was standing half way up in the second section to the left of the foul ball. The ball hit off someone's hands, and bounced two rows down and rolled right to my feet. I picked it up for ball #11.
I didn't get any more warm up balls, so come the 9th inning, I was forced to decide to go to the Marlins dugout, or the Pirates dugout. I decided to try my luck at the Marlins dugout, since I had been shutout every single game this homestand at the Pirates' one. No luck. The Marlins weren't in the mood to toss anything up after losing their second consecutive game to the Pirates.
No matter. I had set a new personal record for balls in one day, and bounced back from my 2 ball performance yesterday in a big way.
Some pictures of the balls:
Game: 11 balls (2 hit, 9 thrown)
Season: 42 balls (15 hit, 21 thrown, 6 device)
Games: 9 games (7 with BP, 2 without)
Average: 4.67 balls per game
Career: 208 balls
Attendance: 9,917

Wow. You were having a heck of a day there young man! What a bummer about the rain. I'm hoping you snagged more later that we'll read about in part II? I saw Doumit got injured. Sorry about that. I'm liking my chances with Monroe. Well, talk to you later….
erik: what is your email so i can email you my stats?
I was gonna go to the game and record the hockey game, i wanted to go because I knew there was not gonna be alot of people there, and I wanted to catch some baseballs.
So McLouth actually decided to show you some love again? Nice.
Now THAT'S a good day. Nice snags. 11 balls would be an awesome day anywhere. Congratulations on breaking your record and tying the stadium record. Pirates here in two days….
Wow Erik, I have 11 on the YEAR and you get 11 in one outing. Nice job. Sounds like you put some miles on walking around vying for balls.
i like how you took a picture of the 11 balls in seat number 11. i think i have seen you at games patrolling the outfield. you always wear the new black alternate jersey and i think to myself how much i want one.
Double-digits-nice work. Wouldn't mind making a trip out to Pittsburgh this year. Nicest stadium I have seen to date.
Wow! Congrats on 11 brotha! Hopefully I can accomplish that same fete, since I need to bounce back from not attending Tuesday's game at Yankee Stadium. But, sadly a TON of people go to BP on the weekends in New York, and that can definitely spoil 11 baseballs in one game. I'll shoot for four. My lucky number, and what you shoot for every game. Hopefully it will bring me some luck. Also, congrats on the sweep. The Marlins look serious this season so far, but the Pirates look like they are hungry too. This should be a fun season.

The marlins player is Matt Lindstrom!!

School Safety
SAFETY IN schools is of paramount importance. That point was emphatically reinforced this past December in the mass murder at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut.
School officials across the country have revisited their security programs since that fateful day. The Ohio Valley has seen many local districts beef up safety measures, several realizing the need and benefits of a resource officer. Bridgeport and Buckeye Local, in fact, are seeking levy approval to fund such a position.
The St. Clairsville School District is proactive with its safety system. That point came to light at Monday's St. Clairsville City Council meeting.
St. C. School Resource Officer Jeff Gazdik presented city officials with an overview on safety improvements within the district. He presented an updated emergency management plan, noting the improvements were a result of two years of planning. It was put in place prior to the Connecticut shooting.
St. C. safety game plan features a wide variety of disasters and responses in and around the school, including evacuation plans. Gazdik also notes a quick communications system is in place. It has proven a model for other school districts, as many have contacted St. C. schools for input.
Two other important pieces play into the St. Clairsville safety plan.
One is a $90,000 Homeland Security funded program to provide extensive blueprints of all Belmont County schools for the use of law enforcement and first responders in the event of an emergency. Secondly, a city safety committee, composed of school officials and emergency responders, meets monthly. We view that as a great way to get all those involved on the same page.
Gazdik, meanwhile, has also taken an extra safety step by guiding law enforcement officers from diverse agencies on tours of the school buildings. Such a move may pay dividends in time of emergencies.
It's safe to say St. Clairsville school officials place a premium on the well-being of their students and staff.

The 10-megapixel Olympus E-420 is a purposely compact DSLR that features Live View and Shadow Adjustment technology.
Olympus E-420 Review
Olympus has been at the forefront of this, most notably pioneering live view and its dust reduction system, technologies later adopted by other DSLR manufacturers for their own models. Needless to say its new E-420 and Olympus E-520 models features both of these, and continue the evolution of the live-view system. Their announcement came as a bit of a surprise – not least because of Olympus's prolificity in releasing three DSLRs last year – though their keen price points stand to threaten the entry-level market, an area most manufacturers are muscling in on now more than ever.
As with the two models they replace, they vary in few areas from each other. Both have been therefore tested together, to avoid repetition and to gain a better understanding of the differences between them. In either case, I'm keen to find out what's been tinkered with under the bonnet and whether their respective upgrades have been justified.
More info:
Features: Page 1
Four Thirds System
For the benefit of those unfamiliar with the Four Thirds system, the format was jointly devised by Olympus and Kodak, announced in 2002 and commencing a year later with the launch of the Olympus E-1. The system is unique in that it has been designed entirely for digital from scratch, breaking most of the constraints posed by 35mm-based cameras. We say 'most' because support is still offered for legacy Zuiko lenses via adaptors, though one of the system's key points is that its lenses can be telecentric – that is, designed to direct light to hit the sensor at a perpendicular angle – as well as smaller and lighter, to correspond with the smaller size of the sensor. The E-420 was billed as the 'world's smallest DSLR' on launch.
LiveMOS Sensor
The E-420 houses an 11.8 megapixel LiveMOS sensor with an effective pixel count of 10MP. This allows for images measuring 3648 x 2736 pixels at their maximum resolution, equating to a print size of 12.1 x 9.1in. The LiveMOS sensor is said to have been redesigned to bring the dynamic range closer to that of the semi-pro Olympus E-3, while a new amplifier circuit is said to reduce noise and capture fine image details in highlight and shadow areas.
Shooting in Raw
Raw images are stored in Olympus's ORF format, while JPEG capture allows the user to customise the four JPEG options available within the image quality menu, with regards to pixel count and compression ratios. So, for instance, you could set a large JPEG with fine compression, a medium JPEG with low compression and so on. Simultaneous Raw and JPEG recording is also available, with the option of varying the JPEG's pixel count to either small, medium or large.
Features: Page 2
New AF Modes
The E-420's main upgrade over its predecessor, the E-410, is that its live view system incorporates two new autofocusing modes. The E-410 (and also the E-3) have just one option – sensor AF – which used phase detection in between a temporary mirror blackout to achieve autofocusing. This has been carried over here, and is joined by an Imager AF mode, the default setting which uses contrast detection working off the main sensor, and a Hybrid AF mode which combines both phase and contrast detection.
The former focuses in real time, with the mirror staying put until the shot has been taken. This happens automatically once the camera senses it has focused correctly, though at default, compatibility is only offered with three Zuiko lenses – one of which being the kit lens. Those with existing lenses needn't worry about this, as a firmware update may be downloaded to provide support for additional lenses. The second mode, Hybrid AF, is said to be a touch slower than the Imager mode alone, but is compatible with all Zuiko lenses straight 'out of the box'. The live view may be magnified by a factor of either 7x or 10x, to aid focusing and to check detail, with the effects of altering exposure and image stabilisation settings also visible in real time.
LCD Display
Live view and captured images are displayed on a 2.7in LCD screen, featuring the second generation of Olympus's HyperCrystal technology. With a 230,000-pixel resolution, this is the same as that of the models these cameras replace, though the physical size of the screens now puts them in line with many other entry-level DSLRs such as the Sony A200 and Pentax K200D. An impressive viewing angle of 176° off centre is claimed, as is 100% coverage of the scene.
Features: Page 3
Olympus has stuck with the same metering system seen in the predecessors; a 49-zone multi-pattern system offering evaluative, centre-weighted and spot options. In addition, the shadow and highlight spot metering options first seen on the OM series of Olympus's film bodies are also available, allowing for more accurate metering in particularly dark or light conditions.
Dynamic Range Controls
The E-420 features Auto and PASM exposure options as well as 18 scene modes and sensitivity-based image stabilisation. Alongside this, Olympus has added Shadow Adjustment Technology, which is claimed to optimise the dynamic range, capturing highlight and shadow details more effectively. This can be set to Auto, with Normal, High Key and Low Key options also available.
There are eight white balance presets, plus an Auto mode and a manual 'shoot a white object for reference' setting. Colour temperature may also be adjusted over the Kelvin scale, which ranges from 2000K to 14000K.
Memory Buffer
With the TruePic III processor seen in the last few Olympus DSLRs, the E-420 manages to shoot JPEGs up to the capacity of the card and up to eight Raw images at a constant pace, though burst speed sees a slight increase now at 3.5fps. Lacking the 11-point biaxial AF system of the E-3, no claims are made of world's-fastest focusing, with focusing limited to three horizontally arranged points. This expands to 11 points when used in conjunction with live view in Imager AF mode.
ISO Range
Sensitivity may be adjusted in full-stop increments over a range of ISO 100-1600. This is augmented by both a long-exposure noise reduction option and a high-ISO noise filter, with the latter's intensity adjustable over three levels.
Features: Page 4
Built-In Flash
The built-in flash has a guide number of 12 (at ISO 100) and is operated automatically through the camera or manually via a button on the top plate. An assortment of slow-sync, rear-curtain-sync and flash compensation options may be selected.
Wireless Flash
As was the case with the E-3, wireless flash operation is also possible. The camera is able to synchronise safely with up to three compatible off-camera flash units – at present, this will work with the FL36R and FL50R wireless flashguns. This allows individual positioning and control over each separate unit and is clearly something Olympus is pushing, having also recently made it possible on its SP range of bridge models. The camera is also compatible with Olympus's non-wireless units, including the two ring and twinflash options, but not the FL-40 flashgun.
Misc Features
Face Detection and Perfect Shot Preview modes are both available, allowing you to view a preview of an image at different exposure and white balance settings so that you can select the most appropriate settings. Images are whisked onto the user's choice of either CompactFlash, xD or the less common Microdrive media formats.
OM-1 Influence
The influence of the 35mm film SLR Olympus OM-1 is ever present with the E-420. The mode dial and right selection wheel fall in the same place as the film speed dial and film advance level were on the OM-1, while the shutter release is also in a similar place.
The camera is housed in glass-reinforced plastic that helps to keep overall weight down, yet provides a feeling of solidity. Cosmetically, the changes between the E-410 and the E-420 are slight. The new model sports a redesigned grip to provide a better purchase, while the larger LCD screen has caused the thumb rest to be slightly smaller. Also, the sides of the mode dial and selection wheel have lost their grooves, now replaced by a fine dimpled patterning.
Minor Flaws
For the most part the camera handles well, with its buttons giving good travel and a satisfying click when depressed. Small aspects of its design, though, work against comfortable handling and general operation. For example, having the two strap eyelets positioned on the front of the body means that unless you're holding the camera exactly the way the grip dictates, the right eyelet gets in the way of a comfortable hold, digging into the side of your forefinger. One way around this would be to have the option of unscrewing these, but unfortunately this isn't possible.
Size Compatibility Issues
Perhaps more of an issue is that a number of compatible accessories – lenses, flashguns etc – can imbalance the body; this is because they were not designed specifically with the E-420 in mind. This wasn't an issue with more substantial offerings such as the E-300 and E-330, but here it's more noticeable. These issues stem from the E-420 being built for (a compact) size, and so it follows that some compromises with regards to handling are to be expected.
Of course, it's advisable to handle any camera before you buy it but this is especially the case for the E-420. Having said this, it's worth bearing in mind that together with the 25mm f/2.8 pancake lens it's one of the few DSLRs that you'd be able to fit into a roomy coat pocket, and so it makes for a perfect 'walkaround' camera – much like the manual OM cameras were.
Performance: Page 1
Menu Navigation
Powering up the camera automatically activates the dust-busting Supersonic Wave Filter (SSWF), after which the shooting settings are displayed on the 'Super Control Panel'. This is basically the LCD's interface containing all key (and some not so key) settings. Changing these is simple and quick, with the layout allowing you to quickly jump from one setting to the next, though in some cases you need to right-click through all the available options for the selector to zig-zag its way down to the one you want. Why can't you simply press the 'down' button when you want to go down? The Graphic User Interface is also looking rather dated, and something which would benefit from a revamp. Olympus hasn't deviated too far from its previous implementations and it shows; it's very much the MS-DOS of menu systems.
AF Performance
We didn't find the three AF points too limiting, though it's worth noting that the three-point system is a little behind the times. Possibly as a result of the points not being biaxial (sensing focus along both vertical and horizontal axes) and lacking a cross-sensor centre point, it also seems as though they aren't as sensitive as they could be. This was something we noticed more in impromptu situations. With the 7-14mm f/4 lens we also encountered a couple of false focuses, where the camera claimed to be in focus despite the viewfinder telling a different story.
Disadvantages of Four Thirds
Thankfully, Olympus is slowly kitting its lens range with the faster-focusing Supersonic Wave Drive (SWD) technology, though as of yet only three fairly pricey lenses feature this. This is one of the disadvantages of investing in a relatively new system such as Four Thirds. Olympus needs to catch up with other manufacturers to provide faster AF performance for both the enthusiast and semi-pro end of its market. Other manufacturers have made the piezo-electric based technology more accessible over a variety of more affordable lenses.
We suspect the average Four Thirds consumer may need to wait a while for this technology to filter down to more affordable options. The important point though is that this technology is available – and with the 12-60mm SWD and 50-200mm SWD lenses, autofocusing shows not just an improvement but an impressive performance.
Dust Control
Autofocusing aside, we didn't notice a single speck of dust on any images depsite frequently changing lenses on both bodies. Olympus has long claimed that its Dust Reduction is the most effective available, and given what we've seen we won't argue otherwise.
That said, we would appreciate a better viewfinder as trying to see both the entire frame as well as the exposure information along the right-hand side can be tricky.
Performance: Page 2
Burst Speed
With the minimum processing employed (deactivating noise reduction and so on), we managed to capture an average of eight Raw frames and six Raw+JPEG frames onto a formatted 133x speed CompactFlash card, before the buffer slowed down. The buffer also takes a good five seconds or so to clear after this, though JPEGs are captured at a slower but more consistent pace.
LCD Display
With the LCD screen having seen improvements, we still found it a little tricky to view images clearly in brighter conditions – particularly with regards to contrast. This meant that we often thought an image was underexposed when reviewing it, when in fact flatter lighting conditions showed it to be accurate. Nevertheless, brightness and contrast may be adjusted in the cameras' menu system, and we'd suggest that in strong light this is used.
Live View
With live view, the addition of the two new AF modes is most welcome, with the system in itself appearing refined and capable. Focusing in Hybrid AF mode doesn't quite match the benchmark set by Sony's A350, but for more sedate subjects this type of system is still impressive and more than usable. It's a touch noisy, though in good light the system works swiftly to find focus and the ability to zoom in to the image tenfold makes distant subjects and very fine detail easy to home in on.
Image Quality
JPEG quality is good in comparison with the Raw files, with punchy colours and adequate sharpness. The supplied trial of the Studio software features a wide array of adjustment options, though it's a shame it's only a trial. If you're spending this sort of money on a DSLR, you should expect it to come with a program that can open and manipulate all its files, without any additional expense.
The E-420 fares well with regards to exposure, with only the occasional underexposed image. Highlight control, at default, is still not too great, and means that either Shadow Adjustment Technology (SAT), Raw shooting or exposure compensation needs to be called upon to ensure detail is rendered. In most conditions, there shouldn't be many issues.
Up to ISO 800, noise is generally well controlled, despite a little texture even at lower settings. ISO 800 seems to be the drop-off point, where noise begins to degrade images, and at ISO 1600 there's plenty of it. Even so, one benefit of having a relatively more populated sensor is that noise shows quite a fine texture and evenness, and so is easier to remove. Perhaps what's most impressive is how well detail and sharpness manage to hold up, with JPEGs after ISO 800 receiving a visibile sharpening boost to counter the effects of noise. I wouldn't recommend using the noise filter on any three of its settings; detail is severely compromised and a good deal of chroma noise still remains even on the 'High' setting.
Tone And Contrast
Images generally have nice colour to them, with the Natural picture mode not being too dissimilar to the more saturated Vivid mode. SAT does a good job bringing out tones at either end of the scale, though we found its effects a little extreme in certain situations. SAT may also be applied to images in-camera after they have been shot.
Colour And White Balance
We generally found Auto white balance to be accurate. At times, it produces a more accurate result than some of the preset settings, although a slight magenta cast sometimes can unexpectedly form over lighter tones. Even so, it fares very well under mixed conditions and means that it can be generally relied upon.
Sharpness And Detail
At times the E-420 really impressed with the sharpness of JPEGs produced, with JPEGs on the whole needing less sharpening than would usually be expected. Predictably, the worst performance came with the kit lens, though the sensor is clearly capable of capturing a lot of detail with good lenses.
Value For Money
Value For Money
Whatever else that's said about the E-420 it's hard to dispute the value on offer. Body-only options for the E-420 are currently retailing for around £330, while even the E-420's double zoom kit – with the 14-42mm and 40-150mm lenses – can be found for around £480. As the price of the camera drops, we imagine this will be something potential bridge-camera purchasers would consider investing in, even if it means paying a little more and sacrificing a little of the focal range.
ISO Comparison
Olympus E-420 Controls Layout
It?s rare to come across a camera that both pleases and irritates you in roughly the same proportions, and here I have found two. There is a lot to like about each; the E-420 for providing masses of features and a good standard of images in such a cheap and compact package, and the E-520 for its handling and effective image stabilisation and equally good image quality.
But as much as I?d like to report that it?s all roses, the 3-point AF system and limited ISO range are still disappointing. There are many other foiblies ? the E-420?s awkward handling, the inability to delete images straight after you?ve taken them and so on ? though once you get to know each camera these aren?t huge concerns. I am, however, concerned that as the last few Olympus models have all sported effective pixel counts of 10 megapixels, it may suggest that the technology may be reaching some sort of spatial plateau. This is despite the use of different sensors with increasing total pixel counts, and indicates that those manufacturers moving towards full-frame sensors may well have more scope for future development. I hope Olympus proves me wrong, and I?m genuinely interested to see what the Four Thirds future holds.
Nevertheless, as models in their own right they still impress, and being launched at such aggressive price points makes their features-to-price ratio particularly impressive. I won?t pretend that they?re for everyone, but as they are they both stand to make an good impression in today?s DSLR market.

There will be no booze, no parking, no trespassing. Those are some of the public safety issues addressed in the Lackawaxen township board's proposal regarding use of a parcel of land on the Lackawaxen River owned by Kittatinny Canoes (KC). Whether it can be used as a commercial launch for watercraft had been previously answered by the property's history.
Known locally as the Threshman property, it was bought by the Threshman family in 1954. Records of its use as a boat launch date back at least to the early 1970s. It was operating when the town passed an ordinance banning such businesses on the Lackawaxen in 1992, but the important historical event happened in the late '90s.
"There's an affidavit from our former zoning officer acknowledging it is a non-conforming use. Makes it a little difficult to say it's not," said township solicitor Anthony Waldron.
Having the non-conforming use status means the business is legitimate. Supervisor chairman Brian Stuart is looking forward and said, "Now, it's just a matter of imposing reasonable conditions."
An agreement, crafted by the town based on dialogue with the attorney for KC, is an attempt by the town to try to keep control of a situation landowners along the banks of the river fear could be chaotic and unsafe. No alcohol will be permitted; only KC employees and KC vehicles carrying watercraft can park on the property; and KC has to instruct its riders not to trespass on private riverbank property.
Resident Cathy Reicheg was not pleased. In a reference to KC drivers, she said, "Those kids drive like maniacs. They are going to be dragging these big trucks with canoes on them up the road, and that's one of our big concerns."
Not so, said KC operations manager Allen Crouthamel. "We do driver training because we're not only concerned about the transportation of our equipment, we're more concerned with the transportation of our guests as well as the general public on the road. It does no one any good if there's an accident."
Reicheg has complained in the past about KC passengers. Excessive drinking, trespassing and people relieving themselves on her property have topped the list. But Crouthamel says alcohol use is not part of the KC boating experience. "On the Lackawaxen, we do not allow it. But we are not bound by that, it is not the law, we have been doing that to be good neighbors." Now that the town is trying to make it a law, will they continue that policy? "Yes, yes, we will," Crouthamel said.
There is a question about who can enforce rules on the river, and the answer is apparently not the Pennsylvania State Police (PSP). When attempts were made to report bad behavior, residents said, PSP said they were not going to respond. Others said when the police did arrive, it was an hour or so later, and nothing could be done. The reigning authority on the Lackawaxen is the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission, and according to residents it is also not responsive.
The town is the last line of defense. Residents can file complaints with the town, whose code enforcer can initialize an investigation and fine KC or revoke their non-conforming use permit. KC can be contacted directly as well.
After making small corrections, the proposal goes back to KC attorneys. When agreed on and the board approves it, a permit will be issued.

Student Pharmacists to participate in Medication Adherence Challenge
Ohio Northern University's chapter of the American Pharmacists Association-Academy of Student Pharmacists (APhA-ASP) has scheduled a number of events as part of the Medication Adherence Challenge, a national effort to raise public awareness of the importance of taking medications as prescribed.
The ONU APhA-ASP chapter will team up with students and faculty from the ONU nursing program to consult and distribute information concerning medication adherence on Saturday, Feb. 2, at 8 a.m. during the ONU Health Fair in the McIntosh Ballroom and on Saturday, Feb. 23, at 11 a.m. at the Community Market in Ada.
In addition, the ONU chapter will hold two events in Lima: at the Lima Rescue Mission on Saturday, Feb. 9, from 4:30 to 6 p.m. and at Ray's Pharmacy on Tuesday, Feb. 12, from 3 to 7 p.m.
Throughout February, the group also will distribute information at the Rite Aid in Ada, as well. Customers should consult the wallet cards distributed with their prescriptions for additional information.
This nationwide project, sponsored by the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy (AACP), is inspiring students to spread word to their communities in as many ways as possible.
The ONU chapter is focused on improving medication adherence at Allen County Health Partners in Lima through education, counseling, pill boxes, timers, refrigerator magnet reminders, calendar stickers, handouts, phone calls and text messages.

Roundup: BoSox come back again, topple M'sAP PHOTO
Seattles Dustin Ackley scores as Boston Red Sox catcher Ryan Lavarnway waits for the throw in the fourth inning on Thursday in Seattle.
SEATTLE Daniel Nava hit a two-out single in the top of the 10th inning to score pinch-runner Jackie Bradley Jr., and the Boston Red Sox rallied from a four-run deficit for the second time in a four-game series to beat the Seattle Mariners 8-7 in 10 innings on Thursday.
Ryan Lavarnway walked to open the 10th against Seattles Tom Wilhelmsen (0-3) and was replaced by Bradley. Brady Holt laid down a sacrifice bunt to get Bradley to second base with one out. Wilhelmsen struck out Iglesias on the eighth pitch of the at-bat then intentionally walked Jacoby Ellsbury.
Nava fell behind in the count, but was able to roll a 1-2 pitch back up the middle and past the dive of second baseman Brad Miller to give Boston the lead.
Koji Uehara pitched the 10th for his seventh save as the Red Sox took three of four in the series.
Boston also rallied from a 5-1 deficit to win the second game of the series 11-8.
Steven Wright (1-0) was the reason Boston was able to rally, shutting down the Mariners after replacing starter Ryan Dempster in the fourth inning. The knuckleball throwing right-hander allowed just three hits in 5 2-3 innings of relief. He struck out three, including Mike Zunino for the final out of the fourth inning with runners on second and third. Seattle got just one baserunner to second against Wright, and that was via an error.
It was just the second major league appearance for Wright.
Ellsbury hit the eighth leadoff homer of his career to extend his hitting streak to 19 games, the longest in the American League this season. Seattle also got a solo homer from Kyle Seager leading off the second inning to give the Mariners a homer in 19 straight games, matching the longest streak in franchise history set in September 1999. Its the longest streak in the majors since Toronto also had 19 straight with a homer in 2010.
Seattle led 5-1 and then watched Boston rally against Mariners starter Erasmo Ramirez to pull even for the second time in the series. Boston scored three times in the fourth on two-out hits from Holt, Jose Iglesias and Ellsbury, then scored three more in the fifth. Boston loaded the bases with no outs on singles by Dustin Pedroia and Jonny Gomes sandwiched around a walk to Ortiz. Mike Carps sacrifice fly scored Pedroia before Holt and Iglesias came through again with two-out RBI singles.
Ramirez was expected to compete for a spot in Seattles rotation out of spring training, but ended up on the disabled list with soreness in his right elbow. His debut lasted just 4 2-3 innings.
Dempster allowed a season-high nine hits, although only four of the seven runs Seattle scored off him were earned because of Holts two-out error in the second that kept the inning alive. Miller followed the error with an RBI double before Endy Chavezs two-run single.
Dempster was pulled after just 3 1-3 innings, his second-shortest start of the season
Yankees 8, Royals 4
NEW YORK Derek Jeter was back, and the New York Yankees felt a whole lot better.
The Yankees captain singled on his first pitch of the season, scored a run and went 1 for 4 with an RBI groundout in his return from a nine-month layoff to help New York beat the Kansas City Royals 8-4 Thursday for a four-game series split.
Andy Pettitte (7-6) settled down after another shaky first inning to win consecutive starts for the first time since April, and Lyle Overbay hit a go-ahead, two-run single in a four-run fifth against Ervin Santana (5-6) as New York overcame a 3-0 deficit.
Jeter was the designated hitter and batted second in his first big league game since he broke his left ankle during the AL championship series opener Oct. 13. He said after the initial injury he would return by opening day, then fractured the ankle again in April during his rehabilitation and missed the first 91 games of the season.
New York cut short the 39-year-old shortstops rehabilitation assignment in the minor leagues after just four games following injuries Wednesday night to Travis Hafner and Brett Gardner.
Jeter turned on a 95 mph fastball in the first and sent a three-hopper up the third-base line that fell from Miguel Tejadas throwing hand. Jeter didnt acknowledge the crowd of 40,381, which chanted De-rek Je-ter! De-rek Je-ter! as he ran up the line well past first base, then returned to the bag.
Jeters ankle got more tests when he raced to third on Robinson Canos single up the middle and came home without a throw on Vernon Wells sacrifice fly to right.
The Yankees all-time hits leader grounded out in the second and again in the fifth, when second baseman Johnny Giavotella made a diving stop to prevent an RBI single. Jeter hit a sharp grounder to shortstop with the infield in during the sixth. Alcides Escobar bobbled the ball as Luis Cruz scored from third, and Jeter was thrown out as he jogged up the first-base line.
Jeter had not been introduced at Yankee Stadium by Bob Sheppards recording in 271 days, since he sprawled onto his stomach while trying to field Jhonny Peraltas 12th-inning grounder up the middle, immobile on the infield dirt and yelled out in pain. He hobbled off the field on his good ankle, one arm draped around manager Joe Girardi and the other around trainer Steve Donahue.
Yankees general manager Brian Cashman made the decision to bring back Jeter when he was driving home after New Yorks 8-1 win Wednesdays and spoke with Jeter by phone. Jeter went 1 for 9 in his tuneup at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, including 0 for 3 with a throwing error during seven innings Wednesday night.
I think its easy to say that you would expect with his age and a double break that I think hed lose a step or two or half a step, but I think hes moving extremely well from what Im told, Cashman said.
Girardi said Jeter is likely to start at shortstop for Fridays series opener against Minnesota.
I think Derek would run himself out there the next 70 games if it was up to him, Girardi said. I mean, thats just who he is. He expects to play every day. So from that standpoint I think we have to guard against rushing him back too much, and we have to pick days off, and we have to pick DH days. In the perfect world, you have a month of spring training, but this has not been a perfect world around here this year.
Jeter did not speak with reporters before the game.
A 13-time All-Star with a .313 career average, Jeter hopes to jolt a batting order that is next to last in runs in the AL. The Yankees started Thursday fourth in the AL East at 49-42.
Six players have appeared at shortstop in his absence, hitting a combined .211 with two homers and 25 RBIs, according to STATS. Only Seattle shortstops had a lower batting average.
New York hopes to get third baseman Alex Rodriguez back this month following January hip surgery and center fielder Curtis Granderson next month after his broken pinkie has healed. First baseman Mark Teixeira is out for the season following wrist surgery.
Rodriguez began Thursday 2 for 15 (.133) with one RBI in six minor league games for Tampa and Charleston, both Class A farm teams.
Cashman said Rodriguez will be given the full 20 days of the rehab assignment, which runs through July 21.
Theres a reason hes in A-ball, and theres a reason we were able to put Derek in Triple-A right from the start, because Derek was obviously much farther along, Cashman said.
Kansas City took a 3-0 lead in the first, when Salvador Perez hit a two-run double and Lorenzo Cain had a sacrifice fly. Pettitte has allowed nine runs in the opening inning of his last six starts, with batters going 14 for 31 (.452). The Royals only other run was unearned, set up by Pettittes throwing error in the second.
Pettitte gave up eight hits in 5 2-3 innings, and three pitchers combined for two-hit relief.
Santana allowed eight runs and 10 hits in five-plus innings, the most runs off him since July last year against Cleveland. New York closed to 4-3 in the second when Austin Romine hit an RBI double and scored on Eduardo Nunezs single.
After Overbays two-out, go-ahead hit, Zoilo Almonte and Nunez followed with run-scoring singles for a 7-4 lead.
NOTES: The Yankees cleared a roster spot by designating 1B Travis Ishikawa for assignment. ... Hafner bruised his left foot and Gardner his right leg when he was hit by a pitch for the second time in the game. Gardner pinch-hit for Jeter in the eighth and flied out. ... LHP Donnie Joseph made his big league debut for the Royals, getting one out in the seventh. RHP Wade Davis was put on the paternity leave list.
Indians 4, Blue Jays 2
CLEVELAND Rookie Danny Salazar pitched six superb innings to win his major league debut, leading the Cleveland Indians to a 4-2 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays on Thursday.
Salazar, who began the season in Double-A ball, allowed just one run and two hits. The right-hander didnt give up a hit until the sixth and struck out seven. The hard-throwing 23-year-old was shocked at being called up, but he pitched with the nerves of a seasoned veteran and gave the Indians a much-needed strong outing.
Chris Perez gave up a run in a shaky ninth but got his 11th save.
Asdrubal Cabrera homered in the first off R.A. Dickey (8-10) and Lonnie Chisenhall drove in a run in Clevelands two-run sixth.
Jose Bautista hit an RBI double for Torontos only run off Salazar, who was recalled earlier in the day from Triple-A Columbus and is likely to be headed back to the Clippers.
If Salazar was nervous, he certainly didnt show it.
Unleashing a fastball that registered 99 mph on the stadium radar gun, he coasted through the first five innings, striking out seven and not letting the Blue Jays get many good swings. A few of his pitches were way out of the strike zone, but just when it appeared he might come unraveled, Salazar settled down.
Salazars seven strikeouts were the most by a Cleveland pitcher in his debut since Luis Tiant struck out 11 New York Yankees on July 19, 1964.
Salazar held Toronto without a hit until the sixth, when Josh Thole, batting just .108 slapped a pitch into left field. Salazar received a nice ovation from Cleveland fans, who havent seen many quality starts lately from the Indians rotation. Munenori Kawasaki sacrificed and Salazar retired Jose Reyes on a liner to second.
Bautista then tied it 1-1 by ripping an RBI double to left. Salazar recovered and got the final out before heading to the dugout, where he was warmly greeted by teammates. Salazar took some pressure off a tired Indians bullpen dragging itself to the All-Star break.
Rich Hill pitched a hitless seventh, Cody Allen struck out the side in the eighth and Perez allowed Colby Rasmus RBI single and put the tying run at first before getting Rajai Davis on a liner to left for the final out.
The Indians pushed two runs across in the sixth against Dickey to take a 3-1 lead and make Salazar a winner.
Chisenhall came through with a blooper to left with the bases loaded that hung in the air long enough that the runners had to freeze.
When it dropped in, Michael Brantley sprinted home and left fielder Davis, thinking he had a chance at a forceout at home, sailed his throw to the backstop. The ball ricocheted toward the plate, and Ryan Raburn scored from second before the Blue Jays could retrieve it.
Cleveland tacked on an insurance run in the eighth on Carlos Santanas RBI triple.
The Indians had Dickey on the ropes early, but couldnt land a knockout. They put two runners on in the first and loaded the bases in the second, but scored only once.
Rays 4, Twins 3
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla Matt Moore won his 13th game this season, Luke Scott and Evan Longoria hit back-to-back homers, and the surging Tampa Bay Rays completed a four-game sweep by beating the Minnesota Twins 4-3 on Thursday.
Moore (13-3), who was added to the AL All-Star team after initially being left off, gave up three runs, three hits, two walks and had 10 strikeouts over 7 1-3 innings in winning his fifth straight start and setting a team record for victories before the All-Star break.
Two of the runs charged to Moore scored when reliever Alex Torres gave up a two-run single in the eighth to Joe Mauer that cut the Twins deficit to 4-3. Jake McGee got his first save pitching a scoreless ninth
Scott and Longoria hit solo shots in a span of three pitches off Mike Pelfrey (4-7) as the Rays took a 3-1 lead in the sixth. Longoria, bothered recently by plantar fasciitis, stopped a career-high stretch of 14 games without an extra base hit.
Rookie Wil Myers had three hits and two RBIs for Tampa Bay, which climbed to a season-best 13 games over .500 with its eighth straight victory. The second-place Rays also improved to 10-1 during a stretch of 14 consecutive games against the Twins, Chicago White Sox and Houston Astros teams with the three worst records in the American League
Pelfrey allowed three runs and eight hits in six innings. The Twins have has lost 11 of 12, including five straight.
Brian Dozier got the Twins first hit off Moore when he lined a double with two outs in the sixth down the left-field line that just got past the reach of Longoria at third base. Dozier then scored to tie it at 1 on Jamey Carrolls run-scoring single.
The run ended Moores scoreless streak at 22 1-3 innings.
The Twins struck out six times and had only one well hit ball, a third-inning fly near the warning track in center by Aaron Hicks through five innings. The lone baserunner during the stretch came when Mauer drew a two-out walk in the fourth.
Tampa Bay took a 1-0 lead on Myers broken-bat RBI single in the third.
Myers extended the lead to 4-1 with a seventh-inning run-scoring single.
The teams started the series finale just over 12 hours after the Rays won Wednesday nights 4-hour, 47-minute marathon 4-3 in 13 innings.
A number of regulars, including Tampa Bays Ben Zobrist, Desmond Jennings and Yunel Escobar, along with Minnesotas Justin Morneau and Ryan Doumit were not in the starting lineups.
ChiSox 6, Tigers 3
DETROIT Joshua Phegleys sixth-inning grand slam gave Chris Sale some long-awaited run support, and Chicago went on to beat the Detroit Tigers 6-3 on Thursday in a game that included a bench-clearing altercation shortly after the White Sox took the lead.
Chicago trailed 3-1 when Phegley cleared the bases with a homer off Detroit starter Anibal Sanchez (7-6). Luke Putkonen came on and got one out before throwing a pitch behind Alexei Ramirez, who started toward the mound before being restrained.
Benches and bullpens emptied, but the situation didnt really escalate.
Sale (6-8) allowed three runs in 6 2-3 innings. Addison Reed pitched the ninth for his 23rd save in 27 chances.
Detroits Miguel Cabrera hit his 30th homer of the year, a solo shot in the fifth that gave the Tigers a 3-1 lead. Prince Fielder was up next, and Sale threw a pitch high and inside to the Detroit slugger.
The White Sox rallied off Sanchez to take the lead, and then Putkonens pitch nearly hit Ramirez. Detroit manager Jim Leyland looked fired up during the brouhaha that followed, and he twice came back out to argue with umpires. The umps didnt make any definitive signal, but it appeared both Putkonen and Leyland were ejected. Putkonen began walking off the field and was replaced by Al Alburquerque, and Leyland eventually disappeared from the dugout.
With the crowd booing, Ramirez hit a single to right field and then left the game himself because of cramping in his right leg.
Sale was 0-6 in his previous seven starts despite a 3.10 ERA over that span. It looked like hed be left with poor run support again before the White Sox broke through against Sanchez.
Detroit center fielder Austin Jackson couldnt come up with Jeff Keppingers sinking liner and was charged with an error. After a walk and a strikeout, Gordon Beckham singled and the 25-year-old Phegley followed with a grand slam in his 18th major league at-bat.
Phegley is 4 for 20 now with three homers.
Sale allowed 10 hits, walked two and struck out eight. He left in the seventh after allowing a double by Torii Hunter, and Matt Lindstrom came on and got Cabrera on a flyout.
Alejandro De Aza made it 6-3 with a homer in the eighth off Phil Coke. De Aza also hit a single and a double.
Ramirez opened the scoring in the first with an RBI double, but Matt Tuiasosopo put the Tigers ahead with a two-run homer in the second. Sale got out of a jam in the third when Fielder hit into an inning-ending double play with men on first and third.
Chicago left fielder Dayan Viciedo threw Detroits Victor Martinez out at the plate to end the fourth.
Cabreras solo shot increased his RBI total to 94. Hes the first player to reach 30 homers and 90 RBIs before the All-Star break, according to STATS. A pair of Cincinnati Reds Tony Perez in 1970 and George Foster in 1977 made it to 29 and 90.
