Beautiful autumn Saturday afternoon at Bexley stadium. Crisp temperature and overcast sky.
The only remarkable thing about the first half was a constant stream of substitutions from the Bishop Hartley bench. Bexley fans said the coach was using substitutions to run the clock down hoping for zero-zero tie followed by a shoot-out finish.
Accompanying the steady stream of substitutions on the field, the Bishop Hartley fans provided the cricket chatter of novelty noisemakers. A Bexley fan says the noisemakers are “clackers.”
Despite the Bishop Hartley clackers, score at the half is still zero-zero.
The second half begins.
Bexley parent Dave Banks notes that forty-seven seconds into the second half, the Bishop Hartley coach sends in his first substitution. More of the same.
In rapid succession, the Bexley girls get two goals. The remainder of the contest is scoreless. The teams are well matched and struggle for goals to no avail.
At one minute forty six seconds to go in the match, the Bishop Hartley clackers go silent.
Final score Bexley girls two, Bishop Hartley zero.
An afterthought. With this win, the Bexley girls team takes the district championship.

Bexley, Ohio. WCRX-LP’s Amy Maurer interviews professional rain-catcher Jonathan Meier on her “Noontime Gardener” Show.
Amy Maurer’s guest on her October 9 show was Jonathan Meier a professional rain-catcher.
Meier provides homeowners and renters with the ability to collect rainwater for use on lawns and gardens.
Meier and his business partner reconfigure used fifty-five gallon food-grade plastic drums from the food industry and transform them into barrels for collecting rain water.
When it rains, roof run-off usually empties into storm sewers and escapes into the rivers and streams.
The run-off water completely misses the lawns and gardens that need it. Meier helps people save this rainwater and put it to good use.
One rain shower can fill a barrel, then keep the water available for use on a lawn and garden.
Meier and his business partner have been in business since July. They operate as Rain Brothers.
The product that they sell is the reconfigured barrels and the barrels will be delivered to Columbus customers. Beginning next Spring delivery will be on bicycles specially equiped to carry the fifty-five gallon drums.
The sight of these young men bicycling with fifty-five gallon drums pulled behind their bicycles is all of the advertising that these two budding entrepreneurs will need.
Amy didn’t ask whether the barrels will have a distinctive logo displayed on them.

Bexley, Ohio. Joan Taylor is guest on Katy Taylor’s WCRX-LP program.
Monday guest was Joan Taylor who discussed children’s literature with her daughter, Katy Taylor. Katy offered her memories about the books of her chlldhood and youth. Katy’s list included Dr. Seuss, Wizard of Oz, and Harriet the Spy.
Joan and Katy then discussed the Nancy Drew series of stories (which Katy didn’t find interesting).
Joan described stories about Pippi Longstocking one of her favorites protagonists.
Pippi Longstocking is the heroine in a series of children's books written by Astrid Lindgren.
Pippi is assertive and strong, being able to lift her horse one-handed without difficulty.
Pippi mocks adults and regularly dupes the adults who encounter her.
Pippi reserves her worst behavior for the most arrogant and condescending of adults.
Joan said that as an adult, she had reread stories of her childhood written by Hans Christian Anderson. She said she was surprised at how gory some of the stories were.
She also recalled that her own mother had started her on the stories of Charles Dickens. She said that the Dickens books are now considered by many to be “heavy,” or “too heavy” for modern tastes.
Katy offered the thought that the Dickens books seem long to modern tastes probably because of the influence of movies on reading tastes. Stories in movies are much easier to take in than three hundred page books. Joan then recalled for WCRX-LP listeners that Dickens books were offered to readers as newspapers serials where only a short piece of each story was offered to readers on a daily basis.
Joan and Katy then continued their discussion of the influence movies on the reading habits of children and youth. Rather than discouraging children from reading long books, the Harry Potter phenomenon drew children to both movies and very long books. They also discussed the charm of watching Harry Potter grow up thorough both the books and movies.
Joan Taylor then offered listeners a report on what the children’s librarian at Bexley Public Library identified as popular fiction for children and youth. The librarian’s list includes the “Warriors” series. This is a group of books involving four competing clans of cats. The cats share the same forest but have conflicts when they come in contact with one another. A second recommendation from the librarian is “Among the Hidden.” This is a story set in an unidentified country that has a population law like that in China limiting a husband and wife from having more than two children. Despite the law, families have more than two children. The additional children are hidden, hence the name of the book “Among the Hidden.” Joan said this book is a “boy meets girl” tale. The girl uses a computer to email other hidden children and a protest demonstration is organized. The girl anticipates hundreds of fellow hidden children as protestors. Only a few dozen show up to protest. The government responds. All of the hidden child protestors are killed by the government troops.
Joan said she was stunned by this plot development and recalled how children’s literature once portrayed government as a source of protection and security. Government representatives such as policemen and firemen always brought safety and order to dangers. “Among the Hidden” in contrast identifies government representatives as sources of injury and death.
Katy then offered her insights about violence and media and how the Vietnam War ended the media’s reticence about violence. Where once the media focused on events, Vietnam marked the opening of the door to sensational coverage of carnage, blood and the savagery of conflict. Katy commented that her generation remembers the vivid photograph of a young girl standing naked and scarred by napalm burns.
Joan observed that much of the modern point of view involves portraying governments as the bad guy rather than as a friend.
Joan finished her discussion of the librarian’s list by noting that for children the popular items are the perennial pop-up books and picture books. No changes there.
Joan mentioned that among her favorites as a youth was a series of stories about the X-Bar X-Boys. The stories were set on a western ranch and involved two brothers and their younger sister. Since Joan was a younger sister to brothers, she enjoyed these stories about the young girl keeping up with the adventures of the older boys.
Katy then brought up the absence of a reference to any of the books by Judy Blume such as “Are you there God, I’m Margaret.” Joan said that Blume was a ground-breaking writer in creating stories about real situations that children confront. Joan gave an example of the story where a 6th grade girl moves to a new town and the difficulties of adjusting to a new community and finding new friends. Joan said that Blume also pushed the envelope by discussing some sexual matters and other controversial topics in children stories. Joan finished by observing that Blume’s stories are well-written.

Bexley girls soccer team wins game against West Jefferson girls.
The evening was damp and cool, a beautiful night for autumn sports.
Final score was Bexley thirteen to West Jefferson zero. The West Jefferson team made an understandable showing. Not particularly enthusiastic but still understandable.
Against itself, the Bexley team was evenly matched.
If the Bexley squad had been divided into two teams for the evening, the final score would have been seven to six. Or possibly six to seven. What a game that would have been.
And either way it would have been the worst game ever for Bexley's goalie K T Sarvus. A night to remember. A devastating night to remember for K T.
But none of that was the game that was this evening. The real game was Bexley girls thirteen. West Jefferson girls zero.

Bexley, Ohio. Bexley artist Linda Burns awarded top honors by WCRX-LP editorial collective for Mayor Madison retirement sculpture.
Mayor David Madison is retiring in 2008. A distinguished career of public service ends after thirty two years.
Mayor Madison’s retirement year is also Bexley’s centennial year.
Somehow we have forgotten the Mayor in our discussions of how to commemorate the city’s anniversary.
The question that we should be asking is “What is an appropriate gift to commemorate Mayor Madison’s tenure as our city mayor.”
The gift that the WCRX-LP editorial collective chooses is a public sculpture of Mayor Madison.
The community should commission a grand sculpture of the man.
Not something like the prosaic bronze memorial to the late Governor Rhodes in downtown Columbus, a life size representation of the Governor walking with a brief case.
The work of art appropriate to Mayor Madison should be of heroic proportions.
Thirty two years is a long time to serve the Bexley public. That alone is an heroic endeavor successfully endured by this remarkable man. We are a handsome people in Bexley; we are cheerful, friendly and generous but we can be very demanding of our public servants and their time.
The sculpture of Mayor Madison should be at least twice life size.
The Mayor should be on a horse. A rearing horse.
And the Mayor should be represented in a manly posture with an unsheathed sword in his right hand.
And his face should have the stern look of authority like when he laid down the law to the Bexley girls soccer team and their parents last year.
Mayor Madison has been a very important part of keeping Bexley an easy place to live, a comfortable place to raise a family and a living place of beauty.
But who among us should sculpt this memorial work of art?
The WCRX-LP editorial collective knows of only two well-known sculptors in the Bexley area.
Alfred Tibor and Linda Burns.
Tibor is well-represented in Bexley, both in many public spaces and in even more private homes.
Tibor is almost the sculptor laureate of Bexley.
Tibor’s public sculpture can be viewed at Trinity Lutheran Seminary and the Ohio governor’s mansion in North Bexley.
Also in Bexley is Tibor’s recent work at Congregation Agudas Achim.
Tibor’s works are important views of significant events. But they are dolorous and introspective.
Not like the happy and inspiring incumbency of Mayor Madison.
Sculptress Linda Burns does not have any public works in Bexley.
Her sculpture appears in private homes.
Her pieces are strong and gentle. They are easy to feel and show us perfection.
Burn’s art informs us that we can touch perfection if only we will reach for it.
And isn’t that the message of Bexley that Mayor Madison represents?
After discussion, the question was called by the WCRX-LP editorial collective and the vote for the appropriate sculptor to commemorate Mayor Madison’s tenure goes to Bexley resident Linda Burns.

Bexley, Ohio. Hannah Sassaman of Prometheus Radio Project is guest of WCRX-LP host John Manning.
On Friday October 5, 2007, Hannah Sassaman of Prometheus Radio Project was a guest on WCRX-LP. She discussed the low power FM radio movements with WCRX-LP radio host John Manning.
Sassaman is active throughout the U.S. in helping individuals and organizations establish local radio services. She is also active in Washington D.C. lobbying efforts on radio issues for Prometheus Radio Project.
Prometheus Radio Project is headquartered in Philadelphia. Its core activity is providing technical advice and physical assistance to groups establishing community radio stations.
Sassaman said that Prometheus Radio Project has helped farm worker organizations, civil rights groups and neighborhood groups establish low power FM radio stations. The kind of physical assistance Prometheus Radio Project has provided new stations is called a “barn-raising” where volunteers travel to the proposed station location and help the local group assemble equipment, raise the antenna tower and begin broadcasting. All of this work is accomplished by volunteers in a single weekend.
Sassaman came to her work for Prometheus Radio Project while she was a student at University of Pennsylvania.
Sassaman described her experience of street dynamics during the 2000 Republican national convention in Philadelphia. In confrontations, news reporting and subsequent legal proceedings, Sassaman recognized how the interaction of journalism and law enforcement define events.
On last Thursday evening at Ohio State University, Sassaman offered insights into local radio with a group of about seventy five listeners. She said that most of the audience were students and faculty. Her presentation was by invitation of a local group called Democracy Matters and was done in conjunction with a media conference at the Moritz College of Law at the Ohio State University.
She discussed Congressional legislative efforts to permit the Federal Communications Commission to open up the airwaves to more LPFM stations. In particular, she said that the legislative effort is directed at increasing the number of LPFM stations in the major metropolitan areas. Sassaman discussed the “Local Radio Bill of 2007” identical versions of which have been introduced in to the House as H2802 in the Senate as S1675.
Columbus, Ohio is fairly unusual in that it is licensed in one of the top fifty radio markets and is one of only two or three major radio market with a LPFM producing local material.

Columbus, Ohio. Crew Stadium. Bexley girls soccer team wins over Bishop Hartley.
A hot early autumn Saturday afternoon. Wishing that the Bexley girls soccer game was in a small field with open bleacher seats that give full advantage to a breeze.
But the game is at the Crew Stadium. A metal oven. A solar metal oven.
This is one of the big games for the Bexley girls. Probably a rivalry because many of the girls on both teams have played with and against each other since their CESA club beginnings.
The entrance to the Crew Stadium is a bit confusing.
Too many activities in a large field going on at once. A young man who appears to be a parking lot gatekeeper is counting a large roll of currency. We stop to ask the charge for parking and he motions us into the parking lot.
The first building is the Ohio Historical Society. There are cars parked in front of the large floating block building but no sign that the building is open. What appears to be the frame for an Indian dwelling is built in a shady area on the west side of the Historical Society building.
Then the Highway Patrol Training Academy. Two student officers direct traffic through a stop sign to parking areas. Their directions are inconclusive. Much to learn for these student. The Ohio Quarter Horse Congress is in the fair grounds below 17th Street but the horse trailers are parked in the field near the Crew Stadium entrance. There are hundreds of the oversized trailers in the field.
My wife notes that “for sale” signs are on most of the horse trailers in the row that we pass on the way to the stadium.
We pass some parking spaces that are demarcated with Bexley banners. Later we figure out that the location is set aside for a Bexley tail gate party after the girls and boys games are over and before the Crew match begins in the evening.
We easily find a parking space in the third row from the entrance to the stadium. Row X, two cars west of a large oak tree. The only tree in that part of the field. Since we will leave the car keys with our daughter, Row X and the oak tree will serve as easy landmarks for her to recognize.
Parked in the third row are the Bexley Blue Boys, greasing up with their Bexley Blue grease paints.
As we walk to the entrance, we notice there are even empty parking spaces in the first row. That is an indication of the crowd size. As the sun moves to the western horizon, the shade from the tree is already disappearing where we are parked.
We are a little bit late, The loudspeaker is calling out the names of the Bexley team starting line-up.
When we step into the stadium, the Bishop Hartley team is being introduced.
The crowd, Bishop Hartley and Bexley fans, are sitting generally together. It is a large crowd for high school girls soccer. The rivalry might explain some of the crowd size. Also the ticket “sales” that financed the use of the Crew Stadium. The tickets weren’t sales really. A lot of friends and neighbors received comps I’m sure. Comps helped to build the audience.
Still, for the larger than usual crowd size, the Crew Stadium is eighty times too large for this crowd. Most Bexley backyards would have been suitable for the game field and crowd.
The Bishop Hartley coach has a reputation for being boisterous. Ten minutes into the game he is angry and his loud voice fills the stadium.
Twenty seven minutes into the game, Bexley player Brynn Kolada is down. Too long for her fans’ comfort. Finally, she gets up and walks to the sideline. Her mother walks back from the side line and offers neighbors the hopeful insight that Brynn doesn’t want Advil so it isn’t too bad.
This contest is very physical. The Hartley girls are larger and more muscular than the Bexley girls. When there are collisions and bumps, the Bexley girls go down on the field. But the Bexley girls spring back up and, frequently, have control of the ball. Two Hartley girls are down for extended periods of time. In the second half one Hartley player is carried off the field on a stretcher. A neighbor notices that a trainer is holding the player’s ankle so it won’t move. At another moment, Rachel Crane is hit by a larger Hartley player and she is spun 360 degrees around on a horizontal plane. I catch just the last moment of Bea Weiland in what was probably a full flip. Rachael Crane was back up immediately. So was Bea Weiland.
This is a physical game.
At the half, the score is zero to zero. Bexley dominated the first half and kept the ball on their offensive. But no goal. The same in the second half: Bexley dominates the field and keeps the ball on the offensive. At one point the Hartley fans were noticeably excited merely because the Hartley girls had the ball on offensive. To no avail.
Twenty minutes into the second half Jessie Linger scores Bexley’s first goal.
With only nine minutes and thirty seconds left in the game someone in the Hartley area screams. The scream ends quickly. No reason for the scream is apparent. A mystery scream at a soccer game.
Other than the single incident in the first half, the Hartley coach has been quiet in this game. Was the Hartley screamer the coach’s wife perhaps?
With thirty seconds to go in the game Jessie Linger scores the second goal for Bexley.
Final score: Bexley 2. Bishop Hartley 0.

Homer, Alaska. WCRX-LP Alaska culture correspondent Joanna Tornes victim of earthquake.
Joanna Tornes opened her monthly culture dispatch from Alaska with a startling announcement.
Tornes had been awakened this morning by earthquake tremors. She was quick to reassure listeners that she had suffered no physical harm or property damage. She also estimated the strength to be in the range of four or five on the Richter scale. “Insignifcant” she reassured listeners.
Tornes said that the big local story is the Homer Jackpot Halibut Derby. The top halibut caught this year weighed 360 pounds and the victory-fish was captured by a non-resident.
It is always a disappointment for the Homer community when one of their own fishermen is not the Derby victor.
The Derby winner is Clayton McDowell of Eagle River, Alaska.
McDowell takes home a Derby jackpot of $48,675.
Joanna Tornes then informed listeners that it is election week in Homer, Alaska.
Voters in the City of Homer are waiting for results for two city council seats out of a field of five candidates.
A ballot question will also be decided whether to raise the sales tax one quarter of one percent for capital improvements to recreational facilities and the development of a proposed town plaza and city hall.
There are three borough-wide issues on the ballot: a proposed cap on the senior citizens' property tax exemption to $300,000 of assessed value but to also provide an exemption for hardship cases. Another proposal will place term limits for serving in the assembly; and a third proposal will place term limits on the school board. In both proposals, the limitations are two consecutive terms.
There are also service area board seats on the ballot.
The broadcast day ended too quickly and the WCRX-LP culture correspondent agreed to call in a special supplement next Wednesday October 10 during the noon to 1:00 p.m. program segment.

Berwick, Ohio. Kriss Galloway updates the Jewish Community Center events calendar.
Kriss Galloway, manager of marketing and communications began her on-airpresentation with a very practical and festive announcment. The Jewish Community Center of Grater Columbus will be closed on Thursday and Friday for Shemini Atzaret and Simchat Torah.
The JCC will reopen on Saturday at 1:30 p.m.
She then offered a brief explanation of the holidays to the WCRX-LP audience.
In Israel, Shemini Atzeret is also the holiday of Simchat Torah. Outside of Israel, where extra days of holidays are held, only the second day of Shemini Atzeret is Simchat Torah.
Simchat Torah means "Rejoicing in the Torah." This holiday marks the completion of the annual cycle of weekly Torah readings.
Each week in synagogue a few chapters from the Torah are read publicly, starting with Genesis Chapter 1 and by the end of the year completing the reading with Deuteronomy Chapter 34.
On Simchat Torah, the last Torah portion is read and then the reader proceeds immediately to the first chapter of Genesis, reminding the listeners that the Torah is a circle, and never ends.
Galloway said that completion of the readings is a time of great celebration. There are processions around the synagogue carrying Torah scrolls and plenty of high-spirited singing and dancing in the synagogue with the Torahs.
Galloway then gave an update on the progress of the first annual Juried Member Art Show. Since her last report, the juror had selected the artworks for exhibition, the show has been hung and the show is open to the public and on display in the JCC lobby.
Thirty-two pieces were chosen from among the more than 60 works of art submitted by JCC members.
The exhibit is open now through November 4 during the JCC’s normal hours of operation: Monday through Thursday, from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m.; Friday, from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m.; Saturday, from 1:30 to 6 p.m.; and Sunday, from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.
The JCC, in conjunction with the League of Women Voters, is sponsoring a “Meet the Candidates” day at the JCC on Friday, October 12, beginning at 9:30 a.m. with a candidates’ reception.
Expected to speak are candidates for Bexley and Columbus mayoral races, as well as those for Columbus City Council.

The JCC will reopen on Saturday at 1:30 p.m.
She then offered a brief explanation of the holidays to the WCRX-LP audience.
In Israel, Shemini Atzeret is also the holiday of Simchat Torah. Outside of Israel, where extra days of holidays are held, only the second day of Shemini Atzeret is Simchat Torah.
Simchat Torah means "Rejoicing in the Torah." This holiday marks the completion of the annual cycle of weekly Torah readings.
Each week in synagogue a few chapters from the Torah are read publicly, starting with Genesis Chapter 1 and by the end of the year completing the reading with Deuteronomy Chapter 34.
On Simchat Torah, the last Torah portion is read and then the reader proceeds immediately to the first chapter of Genesis, reminding the listeners that the Torah is a circle, and never ends.
Galloway said that completion of the readings is a time of great celebration. There are processions around the synagogue carrying Torah scrolls and plenty of high-spirited singing and dancing in the synagogue with the Torahs.
Galloway then gave an update on the progress of the first annual Juried Member Art Show. Since her last report, the juror had selected the artworks for exhibition, the show has been hung and the show is open to the public and on display in the JCC lobby.
Thirty-two pieces were chosen from among the more than 60 works of art submitted by JCC members.
The exhibit is open now through November 4 during the JCC’s normal hours of operation: Monday through Thursday, from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m.; Friday, from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m.; Saturday, from 1:30 to 6 p.m.; and Sunday, from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.
The JCC, in conjunction with the League of Women Voters, is sponsoring a “Meet the Candidates” day at the JCC on Friday, October 12, beginning at 9:30 a.m. with a candidates’ reception.
Expected to speak are candidates for Bexley and Columbus mayoral races, as well as those for Columbus City Council.

Granville, Ohio. Bexley girls soccer team defeats Granville Blue Aces.
The evening drive from Bexley to Granville is during rush hour. The amount of traffic on SR 16 from Hamilton Road to Summit Station surprises.
Near the Reynoldsburg East Broad Street Giant Eagle, just before Reynoldsburg-New Albany Road, two police officers are walking in the bushes along the roadway.
With rifles.
Is there an injured deer from a collision with an auto? Escaped convict? Stopped speeder fleeing on foot?
Or has hunting season begun early?
By the time we reach Pataskala, the rush hour traffic has broken up. We realize, it is the early evening of a beautiful Autumn day.
Perfect for a girls soccer match. Or a boys soccer match or football for that matter.
Conversation turns to picking apples at the Lynd Fruit Farm just north of Pataskala. The apple crop was devastated by the Easter frost last Spring.
Most central Ohio orchards have cancelled pick-your-own harvest this year. The Lynds have only three weeks of pick-your-own scheduled: last week and the next two weekends. On their website they caution that there isn’t much of a crop.
We arrive in Granville at dusk. Retail commerce in downtown Granville bustles. The Alladin Restaurant has repaired and restored its sidewalk neon light. A period piece from the 1920s.
Simple black and white painted metal with white neon light giving a warm glow to the evening.
The Granville Inn parking lot is almost full and the Buxton Inn front porch is busy. Cocktails anyone? Perhaps a scotch and soda?
We turn on North Pearl Street. SR 661. A short distance further we enter the sports fields zone.
Granville is tidy but how they developed their local sports facilities has not been too orderly. An aesthetic of freedom. The design of liberty.
To the west of SR 661 are the Denison university fields. For football, soccer, lacrosse. All well maintained but not arranged with any pattern. Same for the Granville municipal fields to the northeast. A clutter of fences and surfaces. And then to the west again, yet more sports fields.
This time they are the fields of Granville schools. These are the ones we are looking for. The lighting on the soccer field casts a blue silver light. Spectators ignore the parking lots and use the lane running to the soccer fields. Seems to be both the Bexley guests and Granville natives who prefer parking close to the fields on the edge of the gravel lane.
Autumn chill is in the air. I take a blanket from the car.
Admission is $5.00 each. The ticket clerk is jovial. He is a little apologetic about the price of admission. I wonder why. Five dollars isn’t out of the typical range for high school sports.
Then I recall the ticket costs for the Bexley-Hartley game at the Crew stadium next weekend. Now those are prices that need apology.
The concession stand is nearby. It is clean and conveniently located. The menu is pretty standard. I get a hotdog with mustard. I want a Coke but they have only Gatorade and water. The hotdog is larger than usual, sweet and hot. Mustard jar is low on mustard. The mustard I use is a bit runny. I think someone has diluted the mustard to stretch it through the night’s sales.
The walk from the concession stand to the bleachers passes a group of six Granville fans. Baseball caps and jackets with Blue Aces logos and “Granville” embroidered into the fabric. Men, too old to be fathers of team members. Just local Blue Aces fans. They look like they might be the local bookies. I suppress the impulse to ask if I can place a bet.
The bleachers are wooden and well-maintained. A small press box is on the fifty yard line across from the bleachers. Fifty yard line? Is that the right expression? Mid field markers perhaps? The press box is small enough for maybe four reporters. The press box is elevated only about four feet off the ground. It looks like a toy. I really need to get a press pass for this WCRX-LP assignment. So I can sit in the smallest press box I’ve ever seen.
The unusual feature of the Granville field is that there is no fence separating the field from the bleachers. The effect is to make the game very personal, the fans are close to the action. Shouts of encouragement don’t have to work their way through a chain link to reach an athlete.
As the night progresses, we learn that the absence of any barrier restraining the fans doesn’t improve the calls of the referees. You would think that the absence of a fence would create a threat of imminent danger from the fans and would improve refereeing. But it didn’t.
The spectators for both teams share the same bleachers. The spectators are about equally divided between Granville and Bexley fans. The almost equal balance in part is because the Bexley junior varsity squad is sitting in the stands with the Bexley parents.
There are chain-link backstops behind both goals. A feature that make a lot of sense and isn’t widely used on soccer fields. Throughout the game I am surprised at how frequently the backstops prevent the soccer ball from leaving the stadium. This is particularly important on one end of the field that dips into a wooded declivity where soccer balls might easily disappear.
The game begins after the National Anthem. A recording by a choir, probably the Navy Chorus.
The sun has set in the west, but at the start of the game, the sky is pink and the clouds are purple. There is Autumn color in the trees. The air is moist and chilly. I wrap the blanket around my shoulders.
The first goal is scored nine minutes into the game. The point seems to relieve the tension among the Bexley fans. It confirms that Bexley can score against Granville. The second goal is thirteen minutes into the game. The third goal is with eight minutes to go in the first half. Some how I miss the fourth goal and then the fifth is scored in the second half.
At halftime, my wife tries the pizza offered at the concession stand. She says the sauce is sweet.
Rachel Crane is my stand out player. No. 10. She’s a sophomore and has a magnetic relationship with the soccer ball. Blue Aces slide off her. She gets through crowded moments without elbowing the opponents. Admirable sportsman.
In the final eight minutes, Granville puts in a new goalie who is loud and very verbal.
Her shouts of “I’ve got it. I’ve got it” fill the chilly night air.
In the last minute of the game, one of the Bexley j.v. girls jumps from her bleacher seat and shouts “Spider! That’s the largest spider I’ve ever seen.”
The stands rustle with movement as the j.v. girls scramble to flee the spider. Other girls spot some more spiders. The spiders are big. Enormous. Healthy spiders in Granville.
We’ve been sitting over a colony of giant spiders.
Then someone identifies the spiders as daddy-long legs and says they are harmless. The excitement dissipates into the chilly air.
We all miss the last minutes of the soccer game because of the spiders.. But the Bexley Lions have beat the Granville Blue Aces. Lionesses.
Final score is five to nothing.
As we are leaving the field the jovial ticket clerk informs us that the Bexley j.v. team has set a record at the Blue Aces field for eating the most pizza ever.
