“the facts, which are largely
procedural, are undisputed,”

and how long he will remain
in jail. Using this expert
testimony Zielinski can
now use extreme emotional
disturbance (EED), as a
defense which, if successful,
could reduce his crime
from murder to fi rst-degree

Today in History
John F. Kennedy becomes the fi rst U.S. president to have a
direct phone line to the Kremlin in Moscow. The “hotline”
was designed to facilitate communication between the
president and Soviet premier. The hotline came in the
wake of the October 1962 Cuban Missle Crisis, in which
the U.S. and U.S.S.R had come dangerously close to all-out
nuclear war.

“If... many infl uential people have failed to understand, or

and how we overcame it, they are not going to be capable of

CORN: ‘I’ve been down 18-6 in a
game and come back to win’
(Continued from Page A1)
because softball doubleheaders
and tournaments started taking
a toll on the bodies of he and
his teammates. He connected
with another acquaintance, Joe
Ross, who wanted to start up a
cornhole league.
“I learned about it through
tailgating down at OSU games,”
Ross said. “I started seeing
cornhole boards, then I made
some for myself. Pretty soon
I wondered why we weren’t
playing when we weren’t
tailgating.”
The Cherry City Cornhole
League was born not long
after. It started with 16 players,
there’s now 70 regular players
with a waiting list, and Ross
is considering adding a third
night.
Modern cornhole evolved
from older games and is played
with two sets of bags, two
boards and two to eight players.
Competitors take turns trying
to sink 6-by-6-inch bags in
holes on the boards that are
placed 27 feet apart. Points are
scored by landing bags on the
board (1 point) or in the hole
(3 points). Players alternate
between sides of the fi eld and
can cancel each others points
by scoring ones of their own.
The game ends at 21 points.
The game took its name from
corn that once fi lled the bags,
but beans or plastic pellets took
its place as players discovered
the corn dust that built up on
the boards and affected play.
The rules are relatively
straightforward, but playing
strategically begins immediately
after deciding who goes fi rst.
“If I’m right handed, I
want to pick the right side of
the board so I can throw over
the center of the board. If my
opponent is also right-handed,
they’ll have to throw at an
angle,” Wenning said. “That can
dictate a lot of other things.”
The ideal throw is called an
“air mail,” it’s akin to swishing
a ball in basketball and means
the bag goes directly into the
hole without sliding on the
board. Players can also “bowl”
bags into the hole by hitting
lower on the boards and sliding
them into the hole. Professional
cornhole bags come with a slick
side and a sticky side that can
be key to blocking or sliding
past opponents’ bags.
While scoring points quickly
is often the goal because it puts
pressure on your opponent, the
board becomes cluttered with
other bags that players need

Points pile up on a cornhole board in Tom Hammerschmith’s backyard.
to shoot around. Sometimes, it
doesn’t happen by accident.
“In tournaments where you
can watch the brackets, you
can scout opponents and see if
they are shooting in a certain
spot most of the time. If they
are, you can put a bag in that
location and force them to
adjust,” Wenning said.
There’s also psychological
warfare. Asking a competitive
player “what their number
is” can erect the a subliminal
roadblock. The number in
question is the one that the
player most often gets hung up
on during play.
“If someone says their
number is 18, they might end
up throwing fi ve ends trying
to get those last three points,”
Wenning said. “Ends” are
cornhole lingo for throwing a
complete set of bags from one
side fi eld before switching to
the other.
While players can run hot
and cold as in any other sport,
Wenning said, the key is not
giving up.
“I’ve been down 18-6 in a
game and come back to win,”
he said.

“We usually just try and get

said.
For those interested in
dabbling in the sport beyond
the backyard, the Shangri-La,
a group that supports those
with developmental disabilities,
is hosting the fourth annual
Capital City Cornhole Classic
on Saturday, Sept. 7, from 11
a.m. to 5 p.m.
Spectators are welcome
and some limited spots are
available to participate in
the competitive and social
divisions, there’s also a number
of slots still available in the
newly-created youth division.
Registration is available at
www.shangrilaoregon.org.
Ashley Erb, community
engagement coordinator for
Shangri-La, said the goal this
year is raising $10,000, but the
event pays out in a variety of
ways for Shangri-La clients.
“It’s about people interacting
with each other, who maybe
wouldn't necessarily cross paths,
and the understanding and
awareness that happens through
those interactions,” Erb said.
In addition to the formal
competitions, organizers set up
an obstacle course that gives
attendees a chance toss bags
double the distance of a normal
fi eld or make an air mail shot.
