The
50 daily www.delphosherald.com BY NANCY BENAC and NEDRA PICKLER The Associated Press WASHINGTON President Barack Obama faces a new urgent task now that he has a second term, working with a status-quo Congress to address an impending financial crisis that economists say could send the country back into recession. You made your voice heard, Obama said in his acceptance speech, signaling that he believes the bulk of the country is behind his policies. Its a sticking point for House Republicans, sure to balk at that. The same voters who gave Obama four more years in office also elected a divided Congress, sticking with the dynamic that has made it so hard for the president to advance his agenda. Democrats retained control of the Senate; Republicans kept their House majority. House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, spoke of a dual mandate. If there is a mandate, it is a mandate for both parties to find common ground and take steps together to help our economy grow and create jobs, he said. Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky had a more harsh assessment. The voters have not endorsed the failures or excesses of the presidents first term, McConnell said. They have simply given him more time to finish the job they asked him to do together with a balanced Congress. Obamas more narrow victory was nothing like the jubilant celebration in 2008, when his hope-and-change election as the nations first black president captivated the world. This time, Obama ground it out with a stay-the-course pitch that essentially boiled down to a plea for more time to make things right and a hope that Congress will be more accommodating than in the past. The most pressing challenges immediately ahead for the 44th president are all

Obama now facing new urgent task


dent isnt saying which party hell side with, and races in Montana and North Dakota were not yet called. Votes also were being counted today in the Montana and Washington gubernatorial races. Obamas list of promises to keep includes many holdovers he was unable to deliver on in his first term, such as rolling back tax cuts for upper-income people, overhauling immigration policy and reducing federal deficits. Six in 10 voters said in exit polls that taxes should be increased, and nearly half of voters said taxes should be increased on incomes over $250,000, as Obama has called for. Its very clear from the exit polling that a majority of Americans recognize that we need to share responsibility for reducing the deficit, Maryland Rep. Chris Van Hollen, the top Democrat on the House Budget Committee, told CNN. That means asking higherincome earners to contribute more to reducing the deficit.

Telling The Tri-Countys Story Since 1869

HERALD
Delphos, Ohio Even before Obama gets to his second inaugural on Jan. 20, he must deal with the threatened fiscal cliff. A combination of automatic tax increases and steep acrossthe-board spending cuts are set to take effect in January if Washington doesnt quickly reach a budget deal. Experts have warned that the economy could tip back into recession without an agreement. Newly-elected Democrats signaled they want compromise to avoid the fiscal cliff. Sen.-elect Tim Kaine, a former Virginia governor who defeated Republican George Allen, said on NBCs Today show that voters sent a message they want cooperative government. But he also says the election results show that the public doesnt want all the levers in one partys hands on Capitol Hill. From Massachusetts, Elizabeth Warren said on CBS This Morning that those who voted for her oppoSee OBAMA, page 2

Elida braces for more cuts after levy failure


BY STACY TAFF staff@delphosherald.com ELIDA Elida Local Schools worst fears were realized Tuesday night as the election concluded: voters chose not to grant the districts plea for new money. The proposed .75-percent earned income tax wouldve generated around $2.06 million a year to help Elida maintain what programming and personnel it has retained, despite losing $1.6 million alone in the last state budget. Over the past decade, Elida has reduced spending by $3 million, taking pay freezes, cutting 43 personnel positions, closing the Gomer kindergarten building, reducing and condensing bus routes and eliminating vital programming, including the much-lauded Success service program that gained the district national recognition. Superintendent Don Diglia says the cuts that will come now will be far more dire. Were at the point where theres nothing left that we can cut without negatively affecting the students, he said. The next three or four months well have to make some very difficult decisions to find ways to reduce expenditures to make up for less revenue. Possible cuts could include extracurriculars, phys ed, arts and music and possibly full-day kindergarten. Another tough decision the district will need to make is whether or not to seek another levy in the spring. The biggest question we have is when to try again, Diglia said. We will no doubt have to go back to the ballot because we just dont have the money. Well most likely have to go back in the spring. The sad thing is that even if we do that and were successful, well still need to

Mock election peaks Landeck students political interests


BY STEPHANIE GROVES sgroves@delphosherald.com LANDECK Landeck Elementary students held a mock Presidential Election Tuesday morning. First-grade teacher Sue Barclay, who has taught at Landeck for 8 years, held the schools first mock Presidential Election 4 years ago. She believes and teaches her students that everyone has their own voice and it is their right to speak up. The first time we did it, Barclay reflected back, McCain won.

We thought we had been transparent with the community about the cuts weve made, especially in the last four years. Weve put off going back to the voters, we know these are difficult economic times.

For The Record Fear of looting grips NYC Obama

as new storm threatens


By TOM HAYS and COLLEEN LONG The Associated Press NEW YORK Richard Chan prowled around his cold, dark Staten Island home with knives and a sword to protect it from thieves, standing his ground as another East Coast storm threatened and police went through neighborhoods with loudspeakers warning people to get out. I still have some valuables. I just cant leave it, he said Tuesday. I just dont want to lose my stuff to some dirtbag. While city officials strongly encouraged stormravaged communities to seek higher ground before todays noreaster, Chan was among a group who adamantly refused to leave, choosing to stick close to the belongings they have left. Since the superstorm made landfall more than a week ago, killing 40 people in the city, more than 100 in 10 states and leaving millions without power, police said overall crime has actually gone down, not up. There are few reports of looting storm-damaged homes. But Alex Ocasio wasnt convinced. The nursing home worker planned to ride out the latest storm in his first-floor Rockaway apartment even after seeing cars float by his front door during Sandy. As the water receded, men dressed in dark clothes broke down the door and were surprised to find him and other residents inside. They tried to say they were rescue workers, then took off, he said. He put up a handmade sign Have gun. Will shoot U outside his apartment and started using a bed frame to barricade the door. He has gas, so he keeps on the oven and boils water to stay warm at night. It gets a little humid, but its not bad, he said. Im staying. Nothing can be worse than what happened last week. In the Rockaways, one of the worst-hit areas, nightfall brings with it fears of looting, burglaries even armed robberies. The idyllic seaside boardwalk was in ruins, streets were covered with sand and cars scattered like trash. You cant go there after

dark anymore, said 57-yearold construction worker William Gavin, pointing to a battered, lower-income section of his beachfront community. Its a good way to get a gun pulled on you. Earlier this week, a retired police officer fired warning shots at someone trying to break into her home in the middle of the night, said Sean Kavanagh. I dont blame her, said Kavanagh, also a retired officer. I would have done the same. Kavanagh says hes staying home, in part to protect it. I leave and anything can happen, he said. Its open season. Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said it wasnt wise to stay put. I think your life is more important than property, he said. Kelly said police have arrested 123 people citywide since the storm blew in last week, 54 burglary arrests and 41 others stemming from gas line disputes. Police said the majority were in areas suffering from the storm.

nent, Republican Sen. Scott Brown, expressed a desire for lawmakers to work together. She says: I heard that loud and clear. Obama repeated his campaign slogan of moving forward repeatedly in a victory speech early today in his hometown of Chicago. We will disagree, sometimes fiercely, about how to get there, he said. As it has for more than two centuries, progress will come in fits and starts. Its not always a straight line. Its not always a smooth path. By itself, the recognition that we have common hopes and dreams wont end all the gridlock, or solve all our problems, or substitute for the painstaking work of building consensus, and making the difficult compromises needed to move this country forward. But that common bond is where we must begin. Former Obama adviser Anita Dunn told CBS This Morning that the president made it clear in his acceptance speech that he will be reaching out, and she warned GOP House leaders, representing Ohio, Virginia and Wisconsin, to keep in mind that their voters also wanted to keep Obama. Clearly theres a lot of momentum and a lot of incentive for people to work together to really find answers to the

Teacher in student sex case seeks early release


LEBANON (AP) A high school teacher convicted of having sex with five students is seeking early release from prison. Stacy Schuler was sentenced in October 2011 to four years for the encounters with the Mason High School students at her Springboro home in southwest Ohio in 2010. The 34-year-old health and gym teacher was sentenced on 16 counts of sexual battery and three counts of

challenges, she said. The vanquished Republican, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, tried to set a more conciliatory tone on the way off the stage. At a time like this, we cant risk partisan bickering, Romney said after a campaign filled with it. Our leaders have to reach across the aisle to do the peoples work. Obama won at least 303 electoral votes to 206 for Romney, with 270 needed for victory, and had a near-sweep of the nine most hotly contested states. But the close breakdown in the popular vote showed Americans differences over how best to meet the nations challenges. With more than 90 percent of precincts reporting, the popular vote went 50 percent for Obama to 48.4 percent for Romney, a businessmanturned-politician. Romney had argued that Obama failed to turn around the economy and he said it was time for a new approach that combined lower taxes and a less intrusive government. Obamas re-election means his signature health care overhaul will endure, as will the Wall Street overhaul enacted after the economic meltdown. The drawdown of troops in Afghanistan will continue apace. With an aging roster of justices, the president probably will have at least one more nomination to the Supreme Court.

Ohio again supports Democrats No change in Putnam commissioners office Obama, Sherrod Brown
By KANTELE FRANKO The Associated Press COLUMBUS Swingstate Ohioans who endured months of seemingly nonstop campaign visits and ads are sending President Barack Obama, Sen. Sherrod Brown and U.S. House Speaker John Boehner back to Washington, along with two Republican congressmen who won hotly contested races. Voters on Tuesday supported some new faces, too, as challengers unseated two Ohio Supreme Court justices and Republicans secured enough seats to keep control in the state Legislature. People waited in lines at some polling places for more than an hour to cast a ballot amid reports of heavy turnout, but few Election Day problems were reported. In the biggest races, Democrats came out on top. Despite an onslaught of attacks from conservative outside groups, Brown defeated GOP state Treasurer Josh Mandel. Hours later, Obamas victory over Republican Mitt Romney was announced. Republican Gov. John Kasich congratulated the president in a statement and urged the Democrat to seek bipartisan solutions to the nations economic concerns. Working together we can tear down the barriers to growth that are holding Ohio and America back, Kasich said. Obamas bailout of the auto industry was popular with Ohio voters, with most saying they approved of the decision. Voters looking for a strong leader and someone who shared their values went with Romney, according to preliminary exit poll results. A University of Phoenix administrator, Richard Spinner, voted for Obama in suburban Cleveland and said the economy is moving in the right direction. I think were moving forward, said Spinner, 64. I think were making positive movement and I want us to continue to make positive movement. In the same area, Barb Draves, an outpatient surgical center manager and Republican, said she had voted for Romney and respected the business success he had from hard work. Im sick and tired of working hard and seeing people who arent doing anything. Its just ridiculous, said Draves, 57. The states two hotly contested U.S. House races ended in victories for Republican congressmen. Rep. Jim Renacci won a costly battle of incumbents in northeast Ohio to oust Democratic Rep. Betty Sutton, whose district was eliminated under redrawn political maps. In a rematch, Rep. Bill Johnson defeated former U.S. Rep. Charlie Wilson in eastern Ohio. Boehner was unopposed for re-election. In other races, former Democratic state Rep. Joyce Beatty was elected in the newly drawn 3rd Congressional District, and Democratic incumbent Marcy Kaptur beat Samuel Joe Wurzelbacher, the man who became known as Joe the Plumber during the 2008 presidential campaign. Republicans secured enough seats to maintain their control in each chamber of the Ohio Legislature, according to unofficial results. Theyll be joined at the Statehouse by current Ohio Democratic Party Chairman Chris Redfern, who won a House seat in northern Ohio. The Ohio Supreme Court will get two new members but have the same political makeup. Republican Sharon Kennedy, a Butler County domestic relations judge, unseated the lone Democrat, Justice Yvette McGee Brown, to serve an unexpired term through 2014. The courts new Democrat will be William ONeill, a retired appeals court judge from Cleveland who beat Republican Justice Robert Cupp, of Lima. Republican Justice Terrence ODonnell, of Cleveland, defeated Democratic state Sen. Mike Skindell to keep his seat. Ohioans rejected the two statewide issues on the ballot. Issue 2 proposed having a 12-member commission of residents redraw congressional and legislative maps. Issue 1 asked voters if theyd like an Ohio Constitution convention to make changes. BY LESLIE NOIA Putnam Sentineal staff Writer PUTNAM COUNTY Tuesday was a good night in Putnam County for current commissioners Vince Schroeder and Travis Jerwers. Schroeder won his race to continue serving the people of Putnam County as a commissioners. He has served as commissioner for the last eight Schroeder years. During his time as a commissioner he has helped balance the budget by paying off the jail construction debt and landfill closure debt early which in turn saved the county half a million dollars in interest. I want to thank the people of Putnam County for putting trust in me. I appreciate this opportunity to serve them all, Schroeder stated. Jerwers, also held onto his

I appreJerwers ciate the support of the tax payers and for those who voted for me and those who did not, Jerwers said after his win. Jerwers placed a need for government to stay out of the way of small businesses and the private sector so they can expand without government limits. The final vote counts were as follows: Travis Jerwers, 7,478; Mark Schmiedebusch, 3,958; Mike Lammers, 3,132; and Dan Honingford, 2,943. Vince Schroeder, 10,999 and Barry Woodyard, 5,669.

BY MARLENA BALLINGER Putnam Sentinel Editor OTTAWA Voters spoke as they voted down a county-wide fire protection levy. The levy was rejected by voters by a 3 to 1 margin. If passed, the levy was going to pay for the purchase and maintenance of two county-wide heavy rescue vehicles that were expected to be housed in Leipsic and Kalida. A county-wide ladder truck was also going to be purchased with the money generated and would have replaced the truck in Ottawa. Ottawa fire chief Dan Rieman was disappointed that the levy did not pass. I was hoping the county would have done better than it did, said Rieman. Rieman said the current ladder truck in Ottawa continues to cost the village money for repairs. According to Rieman the truck was put back into operation but only after many costly repairs. We have it fixed as best as it could be but it could die tomorrow, said Rieman, The truck is 33 years old and when the repairs cost too much then well have to make a decision on whether or not we need to continue putting money into it.

Rieman added that all the decisions regarding the villages ladder truck will have to be finalized by Ottawa Village Council. Were disappointed but that doesnt mean we cant carry forward, he said. Rieman was happy, however, voters supported the Ottawa fire levy. Its great that the community backs us on this. The guys are away from families for long periods of time and are greatly appreciated, he said. The money generated for the Ottawa Fire levy is for payment of the fire fighters and not for equipment.

Remember always that you not only have the right to be an individual, you have an obligation to be one. Eleanor Roosevelt (1884-1962)

Americans face prospect of status quo Congress


By DONNA CASSATA and ALAN FRAM The Associated Press WASHINGTON A barrage of negative ads, more than $2 billion in spending and endless campaign stops all come down to this: Americans likely will elect a Congress as divided as the one theyve been ranting about for two years. In Tuesdays voting, Republicans are poised to hold the 435-seat House, with Democrats expected to gain a small handful of seats at best from roughly 60 competitive races but fall well short of the net 25 needed for the majority. House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, is poised to wield the gavel again. Senate Democrats are likely to maintain their narrow advantage as two Republican candidates clumsy comments about rape and abortion could cost the GOP Indiana and dampens its prospects of winning Missouri two major roadblocks in the Republican path to the majority. Republicans hoped the math would work in their favor Democrats are defending 23 seats, the GOP 10 but solid Democratic recruits and the close presidential race, added to the GOP candidate stumbles may ensure that Nevada Sen. Harry Reid remains majority leader. Thats extremely frustrating for what everyone thought was a Republican advantage, Ron Bonjean, a Republican consultant and former top Capitol Hill aide, said of the developments in Indiana and Missouri. No matter who wins the presidency President Barack Obama or Republican Mitt Romney the nations chief executive will be dealing with a Congress no closer to bridging the ideological chasm and showing no inclination to end the months of dysfunction. Tea party numbers are certain to tick up in the Senate with Republican Ted Cruz heavily favored in Texas and Deb Fischer looking to grab the Nebraska seat. In the House, the movement that propelled the GOP to the majority in 2010 will be even more emboldened even if a few of the big-name tea partiers lose. Sal Russo, head of the Tea Party Express, likened the group to the anti-Vietnam War movement of the late 1960s and early 1970s that he said remade the Democratic Party. He envisions the same with the GOP. In the sense that the antiwar movement brought out millions of people that had not been involved in politics and they became engaged in a material way, Russo said in an interview as he headed to what he expects will be a victory party for Cruz in Texas. When the Senate votes are counted, moderate Republicans and Democrats

One Year Ago Delphos newest Habitat house at 715 W. Wayne St. was dedicated Saturday morning as Susan Bonifas and her son Anthony took ownership. The Bonifas home is the sixth Habitat house built in Delphos within the last five years. 25 Years Ago 1987 An open meeting was held in the Immanuel United Methodist Church, Elida, when the Elida Garden Club members met with Phil Hugo, naturalist, speaker.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

LONDON (AP) From his old school in Indonesia to a Japanese beach town that happens to share his name, many around the world cheered President Barack Obamas re-election Wednesday while others said stubborn conflicts and deepening economic and environmental woes will not be helped by his success. Perhaps nowhere was the joy so simply expressed as at Jakartas Menteng 01 Elementary School, where a statue of the young Obama stands outside the school in tribute to its most famous alumni. Jubiliant students happily marched with a poster of the president from one classroom to another after hearing that he had won a second term: Obama wins ... Obama wins again, they shouted. I want to be like him, the president, said student Alexander Ananta. The reaction elsewhere was much more reflective. The second Obama administration faces a troubling crisis in Syria, deepening tensions with Israel over how to cope with Irans nuclear program, a difficult military pullback from Afghanistan, and daunting economic challenges as Pacific power rises. Mohammad Qassim, a carpet seller in the Afghan capital Kabul, said Obamas first four years saw a substantial worsening of the bloodshed there. Obama hasnt done anything good for Afghanistan, he said. He didnt bring pressure on Pakistan. The centers of terrorists are still active across the border. He must make sure that fighting ends before the troops leave in 2014. Mohammad Wali, a paramilitary policeman, was more blunt: We dont care if he won or not, he said.

Obamas re-election celebrated around world

Measure of US home prices rises most in 6 years


By CHRISTOPHER S. RUGABER The Associatec Press WASHINGTON A measure of U.S. home prices jumped 5 percent in September compared with a year ago, the largest yearover-year increase since July 2006. The gain reported by CoreLogic offered more evidence of a sustainable housing recovery. The real estate data provider also said Tuesday that prices declined 0.3 percent in September from August, the first drop after six straight increases. The monthly figures are not seasonally adjusted. CoreLogic says the monthly decline reflects the end of the summer home-buying season and not a softening in the housing recovery. Steady price increases should give the housing market more momentum when home sales pick up in the spring. Rising prices encourage more homeowners to sell their homes and entice wouldbe buyers to purchase homes before prices rise further. Other measures have also shown healthy gains in home prices over the past year. The Standard & Poors/Case Shiller 20-city index rose 2 percent in August compared with a year ago, a faster pace than the previous month. The price gains in the past year reported by CoreLogic were widespread. Prices have risen in all but seven states. And they declined in only 18 out of 100 large cities that are tracked by the index. Some of the biggest increases were in states that suffered the worst from the housing bust. Home prices in Arizona jumped 18.7 percent in the past year, the most of any state. Home prices in Idaho rose 13.1 percent, the second largest. Nevadas home values rose 11 percent. Home prices jumped 22.1 percent in Phoenix, the metro area with the biggest gain. Prices in Houston rose 6.6 percent, the second-highest increase. The states with the biggest drops were Rhode Island (3.5 percent) and Illinois (2.3 percent). CoreLogics price index is based on repeat sales of the

from Massachusetts and Montana could be gone, leaving the chamber with just a handful of the lawmakers inclined to reach across the aisle. Republican Sen. Olympia Snowe of Maine decided to retire earlier this year, frustrated with the partisan gridlock in Congress. New Englands three other GOP senators are New Hampshires Kelly Ayotte, Maines Susan Collins and Massachusetts Scott Brown, now an underdog against Democrat Elizabeth Warren in a race for the late Sen. Edward M. Kennedys seat. The few Republicans who are in office in New England are an endangered species, said veteran Democratic strategist Dan Payne, who is working for independent Angus King. Their party has shifted so far to the right. King is favored to win the three-way race for Snowes seat. A Bloomberg poll in September found that 55 percent of Americans said Congress will continue to be an impediment no matter who is elected president. Just 32 percent said Congress would get the message and work together. Democratic strategist Steve McMahon said he worries that with a divided Congress we can probably expect hyper partisanship and gridlock everywhere. It seems like Americans can expect more of the same.

Moderately confused

WASHINGTON Fouryear-old Abigael Evans spoke for millions when she sobbed, Im tired of Bronco Bamma and Mitt Romney. Her mother, who posted a video on YouTube of her crying daughter, consoled her, saying, The election will be over soon, OK? There, there, Abby. Bronco and Mitt are all done now. The ads can cease. Mormons can exhale. Pinocchio can take a vacation and the tides can do whatever the hell they want. Call me a grouch, but Im basically sick of everybody. One more mention of the ground game, and I was going to shave David Axelrods mustache. Give me a choice of company between the savviest political prognosticator and Jimbo at the bait shop, and Ill take a carton of those worms, please. The morning after the worst presidential race in memory, we now know the true meaning of the peace that passeth all understanding. No matter which man you preferred, there is something unsatisfactory about the end of this race. Victory isnt so much an uplifting story of hope or change but of survival. We The People werent so much participants in a great democratic experiment as we were spectators at a blood sport where everyone got hurt, none so much as our nation, exhausted and battered

same homes and tracks their price changes over time. Several reports last month showed that the housing market is improving, though from depressed levels. Home builders started construction on new homes and apartments at the fastest pace in more than four years in September. They also requested the most building permits in four years, a sign that many are confident that home sales gains will continue. New home sales jumped last month to the highest annual pace in the past two and a half years. Sales of previously occupied homes dipped in September but have risen steadily in the past year. Sales of both new and previously occupied homes are still below levels that are consistent with a healthy housing market. Thats partly because the supply of available homes for sale remains low. And many prospective home buyers are struggling to qualify for a mortgage or scrape together the bigger down payments that many banks are requiring.

Point of View
by cynicism and snark. Rather than elevating our spirits, this election diminished the currency of our aspirations. It was a campaign of mosts: The most money ever spent, somewhere in the neighborhood of $2 billion. Thats a lot of health insurance and a lot of hurricane recovery. The most negative ads and the most media coverage. By the infusion of millions from self-promoting .01 percenters, democracy was mocked. As for statesmen, our children will have to conjure their likeness as they do monsters. Greatness is not much apparent. The respective campaigns insulted our intelligence by making false promises and telling halftruths. They manipulated us by preying on our fears, prejudices and anxieties. They made little girls cry. And yet, both are good men. Decent, smart, gifted men. Good husbands and fathers. But our political system could suck the goodness out of a saint. There was one brief, glimmering moment, a flicker of light in the darkest of hours, when Hurricane Sandy came

ashore and showed what real tides, oblivious to mans vanities, can do. Pushing over houses like so many sand castles, the storm reminded us that the gods care little for politics. Neither do hurting people who need housing, food, fresh water and dry socks. The flicker: President Obama and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, Democrat and Republican, came together in common cause to confront a common enemy. Weather. This is when were at our best: When something outside of us, beyond our power and unrelated to our selfish interests, reminds us of our mortality. Memento mori: Do the right thing, the good thing, the kind and remarkable thing, for you may not get another chance. Many Republicans, of course, were apoplectic that Christie, keynote speaker at the Republican convention, would befriend the Democratic president so close to the election. Infamously, Christie declared that he didnt care about the election. What?! Heretic. Traitor. Blasphemer. Obama and Christie suddenly were having a bromance. Notably, Rush Limbaugh referred to Christie as Obamas Greek column and questioned their manlove. Could his insinuation be any more clear?

What Christie meant, of course, is that politics wasnt his most pressing concern under the circumstances. Saving lives and restoring order were, and he and the president shared in that mission. But two men actually doing their jobs together couldnt possibly be only that. Immediately, the sideshow was on as politicos began quantifying the political ramifications. Obviously, there are political repercussions to anything candidates do in the final days of a campaign. When one candidate happens to be the president and his job happens to intersect with a catastrophic event he gets the benefit of performing outside the usual fray. But the notion that Christie should have been aloof toward Obama to score GOP points wins the limbo contest of contemporary politics. As we begin the next leg of this journey, we might keep in the back of our minds the idea of a common enemy. For now, that enemy is our stubborn refusal to work together to solve our massive problems. If this election provided any mandate at all, it is that we set aside our special interests and work together before its too late. Memento mori, indeed. And while were at it, tempus fugit, too.

Family finishes painting; ready to visit relatives in Ohio


BY LOVINA EICHER We have entered the 11th month of this year already. Where did time go so fast? Every year seems to go faster than the year before. A happy 40th birthday goes to brother-in-law Jacob. His birthday is today, Nov. 1. It is a nice and sunny but cold day here in Michigan. Our thoughts and prayers are with the ones in New York and New Jersey who experienced such devastation from last weeks storm. Susan and I did the laundry and hung most of it in the basement. Susan hung some of it out on the line. We also hanged dresses and shirts on hangers and then hung them on a chain on the porch. The breeze dries them really fast there. Yesterday we finally finished up with our painting. Most of it had been done but we still needed to get some small places such as behind the stove and refrigerator. While we had everything pulled out we gave the stove and refrigerator a thorough cleaning. Next on our list to do is clean out in the cabinets and wash curtains and windows before the snow starts to fly. We have raked some of our leaves but most of them have blown away or are gathered in piles by our out-building. Joe and the boys cleaned out the garden and tilled both on Saturday. That makes garden things for 2012 history now. I still do have some tomatoes and hot and green peppers left from the garden. Loretta has started therapy now. She also has the AFO braces, which are a lot more comfortable than the air cast. She has a splint which she has to wear during the night while she sleeps. Those are a little bit harder for her to get used to. Her therapy is weekly but she does some every day at home. Some of the therapy she needs someone to help her with it. So far we are seeing good results from the surgery. We hope she will keep getting her strength back. We need to get busy packing because tomorrow we leave for Sugarcreek, Ohio. We plan to stay until Sunday. We will sleep at Joes Uncle John and Susies house both nights. Aunt Lovina wants us to come for dinner at her and her husband Abes house on Sunday. She told her children that live close by to come, also. We also want to visit with Joes Uncle Solomon. He is still recuperating from an 11-foot fall while he was at work. And then well visit Joes sister Esther and his brother, Benjamin. We look forward to seeing everyone again. The children are excited about going. Kevin asked if they have cougars or bears in Ohio. He said he hopes they do because he wants to see one. I imagine he would change his mind if he would ever see one up close. Next week, we have someone coming to look at my grandfathers clock. It hasnt worked for quite a few years

Jays seek to stop Crimson Streaks


St. Johns, seeded sixth in Region 22, rallied to oust third-seeded Leipsic 36-29 a week ago in the opening round of the playoffs. Next up for the Blue Jays (7-4) is a matchup with second-seeded Fremont St. Joseph Central Catholic (10- Youngpeter 1) a 27-3 conqueror of Ottawa Hills 7:30 p.m. Friday at Bowling Green State University. Jays coach Todd Schulte is concerned about two things from the Crimson Streaks. They run the spread offense and this version is a quick-passing attack. It revolves around Zack Yeckley at quarterback and he has thrown for (2,230 yards and 29 touchdowns), Schulte explained. He gets the ball out quickly and its about getting the ball to a lot of quick receivers, especially Jordan Sessler; hes got 45 catches. They are more quick than fast but they have the ability to make plays in space; making tacklers miss for big gains is an area of concern. You really have to tackle these guys well. We are also concerned about their size up front on both sides of the ball. Their offensive line averages around 240; at times, they protect the quarterback really well and other times, they have struggled with pressure. On the defensive side, they use a 4-4 base and their front four is big overall. They start Wil Buettner two tackles that are around 220 pounds each but they rotate two in that go 320 and 310. They dont blitz a lot from what weve seen but they will vary the looks by walking linebackers up on the line of scrimmage and covering the offensive linemen up. The Blue Jay offense will need to deal with that group led by senior guard linemen Seth Bockey (9 pancake blocks), junior center Ryan Shumaker (4) and senior guard Luke Wrasman (4). They pave the way for an attack that averages 22.8 Points and 300.8 yards (223.5 rushing), especially junior tailback Tyler Jettinghoff (212 rushes, 1,528 yards, 17 scores; 18 grabs, 192 yards, 1), junior fullback Luke MacLennan (64 carries, 456 yards, 6), senior quarterback Mark Boggs (93 rushes, 289 yards, 4; 59-of-134 passing, 841 yards, 5 scores, 12 picks), senior tight end Jake Hays (10 catches, 205 yards, 2) and senior wideouts Andrew Metzger (8 for 127, 1; 25-of28 extra points, 28 points) and Will Buettner (8 for 126, 1). For a defensive unit that cedes 15.3 m a r k e r s Luke Wrasman and 259.8 yards (113.6 passing), linebackers Brent Schwinnen (senior; 71 solos, 39 assists) and junior Cody Looser (52 and 40) lead the way, along with senior end Kody White (45 and 31, 6 for loss; 7 sacks, 5 QB harrassments), senior back Ben Youngpeter (43 and 26), senior linebacker Troy Warnecke (38 and 27; 37 punts, 33-yard average), sophomore safety Evan Hays (39 and 20; 2 picks), senior tackle Brock Bonifas (34 and 24; 8 harrassments) and safety Metzger (40 and 17; 3 picks). Offensively, we need to establish the running game thats no secret so we are concerned with our lines ability to move their front four off the football. Their

size, especially with the two bigger guys inside, is a major concern, Schulte continued. Defensively, we have some good athletes up front and we need to use that against their size. We have to pressure Yeckley to throw the ball a little bit quicker than he might want to, even in this offense, or make him hold it a little bit longer with good coverage. In the end, we have to tackle well when they do complete passes, which you know they will. The Jays went through the gamut of emotions in last Fridays road triumph over the Vikings. We get off so quickly 21-0 which is exactly what we wanted to do. I dont believe they had given up a point in the first quarter all year, so that was key for us, he added. We went on a good drive to start the game. Even up 21-0, youre still not feeling good because all it took for them to make it a game was two touchdowns in 1:17. In the end, we needed to make plays on both sides of the ball. They were up one and running the ball down our throats; it wasnt looking good. Then the defense made a couple of stops to get us the ball back and the offense came up with some big plays to get us the touchdown. We showed so much heart and grit in those final minutes.

Big names in sports thrown for losses by voters


By FRED LIEF The Associated Press

On a night when sports and politics went 1-on-1, name recognition scored few points with voters. Linda McMahon, linked with her husband to pro wrestlings world of slams and smackdowns, lost her U.S. Senate race in Connecticut again. Connie Mack IV, who carries one of the most venerated names in baseball, was defeated in a bid for a Senate seat in Florida. George Allen, with familial links to the Washington Redskins past and present, also was blocked from the Senate. Ben Chandler, the grandson of onetime baseball commissioner Happy Chandler, was out of his U.S. House seat in Kentucky. Tuesday was hardly an All-Star night for sports. Long gone are the days when the likes of basketballs Bill Bradley served in the Senate. More recently, footballs J.C. Watts and tracks Jim Ryun were in Congress. Two years ago, Hall-ofFame pitcher and Kentucky Sen. Jim Bunning retired. This year, sports lost more of its sizzle in Congress: Wisconsin Sen. Herb Kohl, the owner of the Milwaukee Bucks, retired; North Carolina Rep. Heath Shuler, a 1-time NFL quarterback, chose not to run again after his district was redrawn. McMahon, a Republican who once ran World Wrestling Entertainment with blustery husband Vince McMahon, was beaten by Democrat Chris Murphy. She also lost in 2010 and the two defeats came with a hefty check nearly $100 million from her personal treasury. Murphy, a 3-term congressman, made an issue of the 64-year-old McMahons wrestling roots, dismissing the enterprise as a vulgar and violent spectacle that belittled

women. WWE, as the wrestling extravaganza is now known, tried to clean up its image during the Senate campaign in an attempt to make itself more presentable as family fare. Still, Democrats found ways to remind the electorate of an online scene featuring a wrestler simulating sex with a corpse in a casket. Mack, the great-grandson of Hall-of-Fame manager Connie Mack, was beaten by Democrat Bill Nelson, who won a third term. Mack has made much of his baseball lineage. On his web page, the O in his first name is replaced with a baseball. The congressmans great-grandfather managed the Philadelphia Athletics for 50 years, starting in 1901, and with his suit and straw hat was always an impeccable presence in the dugout. The younger Macks reputation was hit hard in TV ads. Nelson depicted Mack as a bar brawling party-boy. In 1992, Mack was involved in a barroom brawl with thenAtlanta Braves outfielder Ron Gant. Mack insisted he was sober and minding his own business. Ben Chandlers grandfather was commissioner from 1945-51, a period when Jackie Robinson joined the Dodgers and broke the games racial barrier. Ben Chandler, a fiscally conservative Democrat, lost to Republican Andy Barr, who linked his opponent to the president in a state where Barack Obama is decidedly weak. Allen, turned back in Virginia by Tim Kaine, is the brother of current Redskins general manager Bruce Allen and the son of former Redskins coach George Allen. The inability to draw on a prominent name extended to Nevada. The Tarkanian name once counted for a lot on the basketball court but not so much in politics these days. See NAMES, page 8

Ex-University of Texas coach Royal dies at age 88


By JIM VERTUNO The Associated Press AUSTIN, Texas Darrell K. Royal, the former Texas football coach known as much for his folksy, simplistic approach to life as for his creative wishbone offenses and two national championships, has died. He was 88. University of Texas spokesman Nick Voinis on Wednesday confirmed Royals death. Royal had suffered from Alzheimers disease and recently fell at an assisted living center where he was receiving care. Royal took over as head coach at Texas at age 32 in 1956 after starring as a halfback for Oklahoma and then taking head coaching jobs at Mississippi State and Washington. In 23 years as a head coach, he never had a losing season, with his teams boasting a 167-47-5 record in his 20 years at Texas, the best record in the nation over that period (1957-1976). Royal won 11 Southwest Conference titles, 10 Cotton Bowl championships and national championships in 1963 and 1969, going 11-0 each time. The national title season in 1969 included what was dubbed the Game of SWC games (109) and more overall games (167) in 20 years at Texas than any coach in league history. Royal also served as Texas athletic director from 196279 before becoming a special assistant for athletic programs to the UT president. In that capacity, he was influential in the hiring of Mack Brown as football coach in 1997. Texas honored Royal in 1996 by renaming Texas football stadium, Darrell K. Royal-Memorial Stadium. In announcing the name change, UT System Chancellor William Cunningham explained, No individual has contributed more to athletics at UT-Austin than Darrell Royal. He is a living legend. Royal was close friends with former President Lyndon B. Johnson, who attended Texas football games once his presidency ended. Im not a football fan, Johnson said. But I am a fan of people and I am a Darrell Royal fan because he is the rarest of human beings. Royal, who acknowledged being unconcerned about racial discrimination for much of his life and had allwhite teams up until 1969, credited Johnson with turning around his viewpoint. Royal had a folksy,

Moore named 1st-team All-Heartland Conference BLUFFTON Senior Maddie Moore (Linn Grove, Ind./South Adams) capped her outstanding career at Bluffton by being named first-team All-Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference for the 2012 womens soccer season. Junior Aimee Whitmer (Grand Rapids/Otsego) and freshman Laura Fish (Findlay/Liberty-Benton) were both selected second team All-HCAC. Moore is a 4-time AllHCAC honoree, while Whitmer was honored by the Heartland coaches for the third consecutive season. Moore had her most productive season as a senior, tying Fish for team-high scoring honors with seven goals and 15 points. She fired 56 shots and buried one matchwinner during her final campaign. Moore climbed the all-time scoring list, moving up to number 4 with 43 total points. Her 16 career goals is the fifth-highest total in

Bluffton womens soccer history. In addition, Moore ended her career tied for third all-time with 11 assists. Whitmer collected her third consecutive All-HCAC honor when she was again named second-team AllHCAC. While spending the bulk of her minutes in the backfield her first two seasons at Bluffton, Whitmer emerged as a scoring threat from midfield during her junior campaign. She finished with 37 shots, just four fewer than her first two years combined. Whitmer currently stands ninth all-time with five assists and 15th with 19 career points. Fish had a monster freshman campaign for the Beavers in 2012. She equaled Moore for top scoring honors with seven goals and one assist (15 total points). Fishs seven goals tied her for 11th all-time on the single-season scoring list. She knocked in the match-winner in Blufftons win at conferencerival Anderson University and converted the Beavers

only penalty kick of the year at Shawnee State. In conjunction with the All-HCAC selections, the Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference also announced the All-HCAC Sportsmanship Team for the fall of 2012. Senior Kirsten Egts (Rawson/CoryRawson) was selected from Bluffton. This award has been developed as part of a conference-wide sportsmanship initiative. Members of the All-HCAC Sportsmanship team are selected by the coaches and their teammates as individuals who demonstrate the ideals of positive sportsmanship both on and off the field/ court of competition. Bluffton wrapped up its season with a 3-12-1 record, including a 1-6-1 mark in the conference. ---Jackets push NCAA Division I Oakland in exhibition loss ROCHESTER, Mich. The Defiance College mens basketball team hit over 50

percent of its shots from the floor on Tuesday night at NCAA Division I Oakland University and was only outrebounded by a 38-36 margin in a 90-77 exhibition defeat to the Golden Grizzlies. The Yellow Jackets never led in the contest but faced only a 49-38 deficit at the break. Defiance then connected on 14-of-26 attempts from the field in the second half to hang around in the 13-point loss. The difference came via a 42-22 edge in the paint for the Grizzlies, while 26 Defiance turnovers led to 32 points for the home squad. Logan Wolfrum ended with 21 points, six rebounds and two blocks, while Drew Frizell put up 20 points on 6-of-12 shooting from beyond the arc and added seven rebounds and three assists. Mason Roth cracked double figures with 11 points to go with six assists and two steals. Ryan Hicks also performed well with a gamehigh 10 rebounds with eight points.

the Century, a come-frombehind, 15-14 victory by the top-ranked Longhorns over No. 2 Arkansas in the final game of the regular season. Always a proponent of a strong running game, Royal is often quoted as saying: Three things can happen when you pass and two of em are bad. Asked later in his coaching career if he might switch to a passing attack, Royal replied, youve got to Dance with the one who brung ya. In 1968, Royal installed the wishbone, with the fullback lined up two yards behind the quarterback and a step up in front of the other two backs. With that formation, Royals teams won 30 straight games and a record six straight SWC championships. His teams won more

straight-forward approach to football and life that credited hard work as well as luck for his success. He was among the first football coaches in the nation to hire an academic counselor to ensure athletes went on to graduate. He also set aside a fund for a special T ring, which he personally awarded to his players upon their graduation. He was a stickler for following the rules, even when he disagreed with them. In 1976, Royal accused then-Oklahoma coach Barry Switzer of sending a spy to Texas practices, a violation of NCAA rules if the scout was reimbursed for his work. Royal challenged Switzer to take a lie detector test over the matter and said he would resign as coach at Texas if Switzer passed it. Switzer refused and the Texas-Oklahoma rivalry took on added intensity Royal was the youngest of six children born to Katy and B.R. Burley Royal and grew up in tiny Hollis, Okla., where he chopped cotton as a young boy to help his family through the Depression. His mother died before he was even 6 months old and lost two sisters to a fever epidemic before he reached the age of 11.

Deng, Bulls hand Magic first loss


By BRADFORD DOOLITTLE The Associated Press
CHICAGO For nearly three quarters, the Orlando Magic looked like the team that has been the surprise of young NBA season. Then, the Chicago Bulls found the right mix. Luol Deng scored 15 of his 23 points in the second half to lead the Chicago Bulls to a 99-93 win over Orlando on Tuesday night, the Magics first loss of the season. Deng and Nate Robinson keyed a 15-2 second-half burst when Chicago turned a 5-point deficit into an 8-point lead. Robinson hit two straight jumpers to put Chicago ahead 74-70 early in the fourth, the Bulls first lead since midway through the third period. We executed well, Deng said. I thought Nate did a good job of looking for his shot and running the plays we were calling. Deng teamed with fellow starter Joakim Noah and three reserves for most of the run, with Robinson, Jimmy Butler and Taj Gibson making key contributions. The guys we had in, Taj and Jimmy, gave us a big lift, Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau said. Nate also was really good out there. I thought in the second half, we played a

Late TD costs No. 23 Toledo in loss to Ball State


TOLEDO Toledo coach Matt Campbell tried his best to put a good spin on a deflating loss. The silver lining is every goal weve had is still right there in front of us, Campbell said after his 23rd-ranked Rockets gave up a late touchdown and lost to Ball State 34-27 on Tuesday night. True, the Rockets can still win their final two games, including a huge showdown next Tuesday at Northern Illinois, to earn a spot in the Mid-American Conference championship game. And theres still a bowl invitation waiting in the future. I think it could be a wakeup call, linebacker Dan Molls said. Obviously, no loss is a good loss but theres a lot we can take away from this game and theres a lot we can learn from that is going to help put us in the best situation next week to win the game. But it was still painful, at least so soon after a defeat, to consider what was lost. The Rockets (8-2, 5-1) had waited almost 11 years to get back into The Associated Press Top 25. Yet within three days, they likely got knocked right back out. We look at this as a huge learning lesson, Campbell said. Jahwan Edwards scored untouched on a 15-yard run around left end with 1:43 left to propel the Cardinals (7-3, 4-2) to the win, ending Toledos 8-game winning streak. It wasnt hard to find the problematic errors for the Rockets. Time and time again they had huge penalties that either ended their own drives or extended Ball State possessions. They were flagged 10 times for 111 yards. Despite outgaining the Cardinals 526-446 and picking off three of Keith Wennings passes, they still came up short at the end. The entire nights misery was encapsulated in the Rockets last big push for a go-ahead touchdown. With the score tied at 27, Toledo drove to a fourthand-2 at the Cardinals 15 with 6:02 left. Campbell passed up an almost certain 32-yard field goal with the accurate Jeremiah Detmer warming up on the sideline. Instead, the Rockets went for it. David Fluellen, who danced and juked for 200 yards on 34 carries with a touchdown, carried up the middle and was stacked up, running into the back of one of his own blockers before being snowed under by defenders. He came up a foot short. Hindsight is 20/20, Campbell said. I really felt we were in a groove. We had just made a fourth-and-1 (on their final touchdown). Was it the right decision? Obviously not. Fluellen was crestfallen. The hole was there and I had one guy to beat, he added. My job was to get the first down no matter what and I didnt do that. Ball State coach Pete Lembo wasnt a bit surprised by the decision to go for it. He said he would have done the same thing. They have a lot of confidence in their offense, he said. And they should, with those players. With Edwards picking up good yardage on the ground

lot harder. Noah had 20 points, nine rebounds and five blocks for Chicago, while Robinson added 11 points and six assists off the bench. Robinsons layup with 2:35 to play put Chicago up 91-81, its biggest lead of the game. (Winning is) all that counts but we need to play better, Noah said. This isnt going to cut it against a better team. Weve just got to keep fighting. Theyre an underrated team. I feel like theyve got a lot of offensive firepower, they spread the floor. It was a good win tonight. Arron Afflalo led the Magic with 28 points, 19 in the second half. ETwaun Moore added a career-high 17 points. Our lull offensively gave them an opportunity to hit some shots in the fourth quarter, Afflalo said. Its unfortunate because it was a game I thought we could have won. Glen Davis, who entered the game fourth in the NBA with 25.5 points per game, scored 16 points but shot just 7-of-22 from the floor and fouled out. Nicola Vucevic had 16 points and 10 rebounds for the Magic, who had won three of their last four in Chicago entering the game. Orlando had started the

season 2-0, surprising many around the league after trading star center Dwight Howard to the Los Angeles Lakers over the summer. The Magic came up short in its bid to go 3-0 for just the fourth time in franchise history. The Magic led 70-65 when the Bulls started their decisive run late in the third quarter. Deng tied the game with a jumper with 10:58 to play. Later, Robinson capped the run with a layup in transition. Orlando trimmed the lead to four on Affalos 3 in the final minute but Chicago held on down the stretch. Gibsons dunk and free throw with 39 seconds remaining iced it for the Bulls. The Magic pushed the lead to seven in the second quarter behind seven points from Moore before Richard Hamilton closed the lead to 48-45 with a pull-up jumper in transition to close the first half. J.J. Redick continued his hot shooting early with a 3-pointer and a midrange jumper during the spree. Redick hit 16-of-25 shots in Orlandos first two games. After making his first two shots, Redick hit just one of the next seven before hitting a 3-pointer in the fourth quarter, with Butler sticking to him for most of the second half. The Bulls needed the win after losing to New Orleans on Saturday and with Oklahoma City visiting the United Center on Thursday. The Bulls have

not lost two straight at home since a 5-game skid from March 1 to 19, 2010. This was a tough game, Deng added. Theyre playing well and we lost our last game. Its one of those we needed to win. You dont want to lose two, then weve got Oklahoma (City) coming in. The fourth quarter was really good for the team.
THUNDER 108, RAPTORS 88 OKLAHOMA CITY Russell Westbrook shrugged off a sore shoulder to score 19 points and Oklahoma City cruised past Toronto. Wearing a black padded sleeve to protect his bruised left shoulder, Westbrook held Torontos leading scorer, Kyle Lowry, to two points on 1-of-4 shooting. Lowry exited with 1:29 left in the second quarter with a right ankle sprain and did not return. Serge Ibaka added 17 points for Oklahoma City. Kevin Durant and reserve Kevin Martin each scored 15. The Thunder led by as many as 29 points and never trailed after Durant converted a pair of free throws with 7:44 remaining in the first quarter. Oklahoma City coach Scott Brooks rested his starters in the fourth as the Thunder improved to 2-2 with their highest-scoring game of the season. Jonas Valanciunas led the Raptors with 18 points. NUGGETS 109, PISTONS 97 DENVER Andre Iguodala scored six of his 17 points over the final 3 minutes to help Denver hold off Detroit and snap a 3-game skid. The Nuggets broke out their new canary yellow uniforms for their home opener and played pretty snazzy, especially late in the third quarter when they began opening up a 17-point lead. The Pistons rallied late, before Iguodala closed the door with two baskets and a pair of free throws. He also finished with 10 rebounds. Greg Monroe scored 27 points for the Pistons, who dropped their fourth straight. Detroit and Washington (0-2) are the only winless teams in the NBA. The Nuggets avoided their first 0-4 start since 1998.

The Associated Press NEW YORK Negotiations between the NHL and the locked-out players association lasted deep into Tuesday night and went well enough that the sides agreed to return to the bargaining table for more talks today. Both sides kept details close to the vest after the meeting that lasted more than seven hours. That also could be taken as an optimistic sign that the second round of talks in four days went well. The marathon session on Day 52 of the lockout was held at an undisclosed location in New York, at request of the NHL, in order for

SPORTS BRIEFS
the sides to be able to talk without distractions. COLLEGE BASKETBALL INDIANAPOLIS No. 1 Indiana will open its season Friday night without two key freshmen players. The NCAA suspended 6-8 forward Hanner Mosquera-Perea and 7-foot center Peter Jurkin for the first nine games this season and will require them to repay a portion of the impermissible benefits they received to a charity of their choice.

and Wenning hitting timely passes, the Cardinals drove from their own 14. They converted a third-and-19 on Wennings 19-yard completion to Connor Ryan and later Wenning hooked up with Zane Fakes for a 4-yard gain on third-and-3 at the Toledo 19. Two plays later, Edwards took a handoff and outraced one tackler at the edge to score the pivotal TD. The only thing that worried Lembo was that the Cardinals might have scored too soon. But the defense made the lead stand up. Toledo quarterback Terrance Owens, who was 14-of-27 for 215 yards with no interceptions and a 24-yard touchdown pass to Bernard Reedy, gained seven yards on first down but was sacked for a 5-yard loss by Nathan Ollie. Two incompletions, both while being pressured, sent a smallish crowd of 18,211 home unhappy from the Glass Bowl. Its disappointing and tough to deal with but we have to give credit to Ball State, Molls added. Their guys made the big plays in critical situations. And we didnt.

Braxton Miller uneasy with Heisman hype


The Associated Press COLUMBUS Whats brewing with the 2012 Ohio State Buckeyes ... BUCKEYES BUZZ: Braxton Millers statistics hes 15th in the nation in rushing with 117 yards per game and his teams record (10-0) mark him as Heisman Trophy material. But hes not comfortable talking about himself. Ohio State has tried hard to make Miller more available to media around the country, hosting a national teleconference on Monday night, but Miller remains a reluctant participant in the Heisman talk. Man, its tough. A lot of guys come to me about it, he said of his Heisman candidacy. I try not to talk about it because I dont really like talking about myself. Asked if there was a play this season where he might have even surprised himself with what he had done, he pointed to the short touchdown run at Penn State where he disdained a handoff to running back Carlos Hyde, took a step toward the line, pulled back so a defender would miss him, then restarted and dived into the end zone. It was highlight-reel quality. It wasnt a designed keeper. It wasnt a designed quarterback read or anything like that, Miller replied. It was basically just a jet handoff to Carlos. I think that they just bull-rushed and some guy came through and hit Carlos and I just pulled it (back) because Carlos got tackled. So I just (took) it on my own and I made some type of move to make somebody miss and I just dove into the end zone.
MEYER ON BIG TEN CALL: Urban Meyer addressed a variety of topics during Ohio States bye week on the Big Ten coaches teleconference on Tuesday. But one thing he made clear was that he hoped to watch some football this weekend as a fan, not just the opposing team on video clips. I love watching college football, so I sure will, Meyer said. He actually was able to watch some games last weekend. Since the Buckeyes played at

Browns QB Weeden wobbles, wont fall down


By TOM WITHERS The Associated Press
need to do more to help this team win. Weeden still seemed upset about his uneven performance against the Ravens. He drove the Browns inside Baltimores 20-yard line five times but Cleveland couldnt get into the end zone and had to settle for five field goals from Phil Dawson in dropping its 10th straight game to one of its bitter AFC North enemies. Weeden finished 20-of-37 for 176 yards and two interceptions, dropping his passer rating to 67.9 the leagues second-worst mark. He did throw one touchdown pass in the fourth quarter but it was wiped out by an illegal formation penalty. Its been that kind of season for Weeden, who has had more passes dropped than any other quarterback but he has also missed his share of wide-open receivers. There were chances for big plays against Baltimore but Weeden didnt make them. On Clevelands second series, he overthrew running back Chris Ogbonnaya (on a play that was nullified by a penalty) and later missed tight end Benjamin Watson, who was streaking uncovered down the field for what could have been a long TD. They were mistakes, Weedens mistakes and he took the blame for them. When the guys are open, you have to make the throws, he said. And when theyre open, you have to be routine with those. When theyre wide open, you have to be 100 percent. You know I missed Obi. Thats a wide-open throw. Ive
team headquarters in time to deal with a variety of unsettled personnel issues and off-the-field distractions. His immediate tasks include clearing up the status of Sean Paytons 5-year contract extension, which NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has so far refused to approve since the coach signed it in 2011. Loomis also will have to oversee contingency plans in the event defensive end Will Smith and linebacker Jonathan Vilma have to serve their own bounty suspensions, which so far have been delayed. PITTSBURGH The Pittsburgh Steelers will likely be without leading receiver Antonio Brown next Monday night when they host the Kansas City Chiefs. Brown sprained his right ankle in last Sundays 24-20 victory over the New York Giants. Coach Mike Tomlin called Browns status very much in doubt. Brown leads the Steelers with 42 receptions and is second on the team with 499 receiving yards.

3:30 p.m. against Illinois, he was able to catch a huge night of top teams in action. I did not watch Kansas State (the third-ranked team, which beat Oklahoma State). I did not have a chance, Meyer said. I did watch the second half of the Alabama game (against LSU) and I did watch some of the USC-Oregon game. Theres some great football teams out there right now. Asked if, when watching such games, he wonders if his Ohio State team is in the same class, he answered, Aw, sure. I try to visualize how we would do. The teams that you just mentioned are playing at a very, very high level. The one common denominator on those teams is speed. Thats an area where we need to improve a little bit. But I certainly like to think we could play with those teams. INJURY UPDATE: Meyer said there was better than a 50-50 chance that LB Etienne Sabino (broken bone in his right leg) would be available to play against Wisconsin on Saturday, Nov. 17.

BEREA Browns quarterback Brandon Weeden received a vote of confidence on Election Day from his coach. Hed happily trade it for a win. Although the riflearmed rookie failed to lead Cleveland to a touchdown during a 25-15 loss to Baltimore on Sunday, Browns coach Pat Shurmur offered his unwavering support to the 29-year-old QB, whose first nine games in the NFL have included some moments of brilliance and others hed love to have back. As the Browns (2-7) headed into their bye week with a long list of problems, a quarterback controversy is not one of them. I do believe in him, Shurmur said Wednesday. He is our guy. Its not going to be perfect. Its not going to be perfect all the time. During a season in which rookie quarterbacks are making a major impact around the league, Weeden has yet to make a significant dent. He ranks behind fellow first-year starters Andrew Luck, Robert Griffin III, Russell Wilson and Ryan Tannehill in many statistical categories and he trails them all in the thing that matters most wins. Im frustrated, Weeden said following practice. Weve won two games. Weve been in games when weve had a chance to win and weve come up short too many times. As a quarterback, thats frustrating. I feel like I

gotta make that. I missed Ben on a crossing route. Simple throw. Ive gotta make that. Stuff like that, thats the stuff that eats away at me more than anything. Its guys that bust their tail to get open and Im not able to give them a chance. While Shurmur attempted to put a positive spin on things, Weeden may have regressed some. He wasnt as accurate as he needed to be and when the Browns did venture into Baltimores red zone, Weeden did not throw a single pass into the end zone, rather using his checkdowns and threw short. He finished 3-of-6 for 8 yards inside the 20. Weeden had to be careful with Ravens All-Pro safety Ed Reed lurking in coverage. He had to weigh risk vs. reward and instead of gambling and possibly getting picked off, Weeden chose the safer course. He knows that if he had thrown an interception in those situations, fans and critics would have been tougher on him than they already are. Shurmur feels Weeden has made huge strides since throwing four picks in the season opener against Philadelphia. Weeden seems to be learning from his mistakes and not repeating them. A former quarterbacks coach, Shurmur says it can be tough for players to take criticism when things arent going well. He said thats not a problem for Weeden. He handles it fine, in a way that promotes learning, Shurmur added. Hes very quick to say he made a mistake. Thats where its tough, when you have to convince a guy, Hey listen, this was
ASHBURN, Va. Mike Shanahans players are supporting their coach after he seemingly wrote off the Washington Redskins season and then claimed his comments had been misinterpreted. Washington co-captain London Fletcher said that Shanahan is a proven winner, a 2-time Super Bowlwinning head coach. Hes not a person who gives up on a season. PRO BASKETBALL NEW YORK New Orleans Hornets coach Monty Williams was fined $25,000 by the NBA for public comments criticizing the leagues concussion policy. DALLAS Mavericks forward Shawn Marion will miss at least three games with a sprained left knee ligament. TENNIS LONDON Roger Federer opened his quest for a seventh season-ending tour title again looking like the man to beat. The 17-time Grand Slam cham-

wrong. Thats when its hard for a player to get better, if he wont admit that he screwed the thing up. Clevelands bye came at a good time for Weeden and his teammates, many of whom are younger than him and could use a physical and mental vacation. Its a time for reflection, self-analysis and a chance to regroup before playing seven more games. Weeden needs the break. There are still those who doubt him, vocal detractors who believe the Browns wasted a first-round pick on him and critics who feel Colt McCoy should be starting. Weeden has heard it all and hes not surprised by any of it. When youre in a situation like I am, a first-round guy, starting quarterback, theres 31 other guys in this world that do what I do, he added. Were all under the same microscope. So theyre just like I am. They dont let it get to them. They dont let it bother them. Has he blocked it out? Oh, yeah, he replied. Im way over that. Way past that. Weeden will spend a few days at home in Oklahoma, where he intends to play golf and get away from the chill hes felt lately in Cleveland.
NOTES: Browns RB Trent Richardson, who has rushed for more than 100 yards in the past two games, said hell be even better once his rib injury has fully healed. I havent been at 100 percent yet so Im waiting for that moment, he added. When they heal I dont know if it will be over this bye week but whenever it do, its going to be a whole other Trent. ... Browns K Phil Dawson and DT Phil Taylor were excused from practice by Shurmur. The Phils are fine, he said.

Danny Tarkanian was the star point guard in the early 80s at UNLV, where he was coached by his celebrated towel-chomping father, Jerry Tarkanian. Danny Tarkanian lost his race for a House seat in Congress, his fourth straight political defeat. Breaking with the family trend was Tom Rooney. The nephew of Pittsburgh Steelers owner Dan Rooney, easily won re-election to

his U.S. House seat from Florida. Four ex-NFL players were in the mix: Jon Runyan, a lineman who spent most of his 14 NFL seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles, held his New Jersey seat in Congress; Clint Didier, once a star tight end for the Redskins, lost his race to become public lands commissioner in the state of Washington; Phil Hansen, a defensive end who played on three Super Bowl teams for the Bills, was in a tight race

for the Minnesota Legislature; and Jimmy Farris (Falcons, Redskins) was trounced in his bid for a U.S. House seat from Idaho. In college basketball, Al Lawson, once a Florida A&M star and assistant coach to Hugh Durham at Florida State, was beaten in a bid for the U.S. House of Representatives from Florida. Jim Tedisco, a Union College star in the early 70s, was on his way to victory in the New York Legislature.

A one-time Harlem Globetrotter provided some razzle-dazzle in Arkansas. Fred Smith, of the Green Party, was elected to the Legislature when a judge ruled no votes would be counted for his opponent because of a felony conviction.

MOSCOW Vladimir Putin fired his powerful defense chief over a corruption scandal Tuesday, but a heady mix of sex, power struggles and military vendettas dominated talk in Russia about what was really behind the downfall of the man who has overseen the nations most radical defense reform in decades. The dismissal of Anatoly Serdyukov was a surprise because the burly politician was widely regarded as having the presidents blessing for a military modernization that has won the enmity of generals and arms makers with connections to members of Putins inner circle. Adding intrigue was the fact that Serdyukov is married to the daughter one of Putins close allies, a former prime minister who wields enormous influence as chairman of state-run oil giant Gazprom. Media reports suggest that Serdyukovs alleged

DEAR BRUCE: Our 26-year-old son is attending college in another state. He has found a part-time job, and we give him money every month for his rent. In addition, we sometimes lend him money for extra things. Does he have to declare all of this extra money that he receives from us on his taxes? -- Reader, via mail DEAR READER: I would be more concerned about when this guy is ever going to cut the cord, grow up and pay his own bills. Be that as it may, obviously you can lend as much as you wish. But if you give him money, which is what youre doing, you are limited to $13,000 a year under ordinary circumstances. Unless youre trying to claim him as a dependent (hes too old), I cant imagine there is going to be any problem -- other than what he is going to do when you finally decide that enough is enough. DEAR BRUCE: A couple of times, with two completely different companies, I have purchased something but was not billed for many months after the fact. Isnt there a certain amount of time that a company has to bill you before you are not obligated to pay? Is this legal for companies to come after you eight months later, when youve never received a bill to begin with? -- T.R., via email DEAR T.R.: The fact that you have not been billed for months for a service or product that you received does not excuse you in any way from that obligation. Computer glitches and sloppy bookkeeping are not good business practices, but they are not illegal. If you called the company to inquire and it still didnt provide you with a bill, you will owe the amount due, but the company cannot charge you any interest for late payment. If, however, you just ignored that you werent billed and never brought it to the companys attention, you may be hard-pressed to argue that you dont owe interest if the company tries to charge it.

Couple can give son thousands of dollars tax free but why?
BRUCE WILLIAMS

philandering angered Viktor Zubkov and may have been a factor in the sacking. But most experts see a behind-thescenes power struggle at the root of Putins decision. Serdyukov has masterminded a campaign to drastically cut the ranks of officers and overhaul an antiquated military structure to create a leaner, meaner force that might restore Russias faded military glory. In particular, he has aggressively demanded higher quality and cheaper prices from the military industry ruffling powerful business interests. That is seen as having set off an internal struggle in which Kremlin allies of leading arms makers have conspired to bring Serdyukov down. He angered the leaders of defense industries, refusing to sign new contracts until they make their prices fully transparent, said Alexander Golts, an independent Moscowbased military expert. And he told them that the military will buy the

weapons it needs, not the weapons they want to sell. Dmitri Trenin, director of the Carnegie Moscow Center, told The Associated Press that Serdyukovs moves to replace the very foundation of the Russian military system won him powerful enemies. A lot of entrenched interests benefited from that system, Trenin said. Putin made the announcement in a meeting with Moscow regional governor Sergei Shoigu, whom he appointed as the new minister. Some observers predict that Shoigu may take a less radical approach to military reform. While giving few details, the president linked the move to a probe announced by the countrys top investigative agency last month into the sale of military assets, including real estate. The Investigative Committee says the state suffered damages of 3 billion rubles ($95 million) in just a few cases reviewed.

Smart Money
DEAR BRUCE: We have two children. Our daughter is the executor of our estate, because she lives closer than our son and we thought it would be easier for her to handle our affairs. We are in our late 60s. The majority of our estate is in our home. My husband and I are in disagreement on whether we should have a living trust or just a will. What do you think? We want to avoid probate if at all possible. -Reader, via email DEAR READER: You can avoid probate by putting your home and other assets in a living trust, but I cant see any reason in the world to do that. Probate really is a relatively painless process for an uncomplicated estate, which is what you have described. I understand there have been many books, papers, articles, etc., written about the horrors of probate, but in most cases, they are enormous exaggerations. A properly executed will, drawn by an attorney and indicating that your son and daughter are your heirs, should be sufficient. I see no reason for the expense of a living trust other than the privacy that a trust affords. (Send questions to bruce@brucewilliams. com or to Smart Money, P.O. Box 7150, Hudson, FL 34674.

Simple measures treat symptoms of hiatal hernia


DEAR DOCTOR K: I had heartburn, and my doctor told me I have a hiatal hernia. I thought hernias caused pain and swelling in the groin. Could my doctor be wrong? DEAR READER: Any doctors diagnosis can be wrong, present company included. Of course, I cant know for sure if your doctors diagnosis is right, but Ill bet it is. There is a common condition called inguinal hernia (or just hernia) in which the intestine bulges out through a hole in the muscle of the groin. Thats the kind of hernia youre describing. A hiatal hernia is different. Its a condition that affects your stomach and esophagus. Hook the tips of your fingers underneath the lowest rib. At about that spot is the diaphragm, a flat muscle that separates your chest from your abdomen. By moving down and up, the diaphragm helps your lungs take in and blow out air. The diaphragm has a small hole in it. (The word hiatal is an ancient word for such holes in body tissue.) The esophagus, the tube that connects your mouth to your stomach, runs through the hole. Normally, the stomach starts just below the diaphragm. In fact, tough tissue around the hole normally tethers the top of the stomach to the diaphragm, keeping the stomach below it. In people with a hiatal hernia (like you, if your doctor is right), the tissue holding the stomach below the hole in the diaphragm weakens. This allows part of the stomach to slide up into your chest. Thats most likely to happen when you do something that raises the pressure in your abdomen, like persistent or heavy coughing, vomiting, or straining while having a bowel movement. (I have a picture of hiatal hernia on my website.) Fortunately, many people with a hiatal hernia do not get symptoms from it. But some do, and you may be one. The symptoms usually are heartburn, belching, bloating, a sense of fullness in the upper part of the abdomen after a meal, or even nausea and vomiting. Usually the heartburn is felt in the abdomen, but sometimes its felt below the breastbone, in the chest. The symptoms are caused by gastroesophageal reflux disease, commonly called GERD. GERD often occurs in people with hiatal hernia, although many people with GERD do not have hiatal hernia. The diagnosis of a hiatal hernia sometimes can be made by a simple chest X-ray that shows part of the stomach

Dr. Anthony L. Komaroff, M.D.

Ask Doctor K
where it shouldnt be: in your chest. Another type of X-ray, called a barium swallow, also can pinpoint the problem. Maybe your doctor has ordered one of these studies. If your hiatal hernia causes reflux symptoms, such as heartburn, it may help to eat smaller, more frequent meals. Avoid eating for at least two hours before going to bed, and sit up for at least one hour after eating. If these changes dont help, antacids or acid blockers usually will. Rarely, surgery may be necessary if you have persistent reflux or inflammation of the esophagus that does not heal with medication. Most of the time, however, simple measures can fix your symptoms.

Tomorrows Horoscope
By Bernice Bede Osol
THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 2012 Like most Scorpios, you should be rather fortunate in terms of your material interests during the coming months. A number of new, wonderful channels could open up that would instantly increase your earnings if you take advantage of them. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- There are strong indications that you may learn about someone who is strongly attracted to you. If youd welcome a new relationship, check things out. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- The financial trends seem to be much more stable than they were yesterday. If there is a fiscal matter that needs to be discussed or revised, do so now. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Someone who loves you as much as you love him or her wouldnt mind hearing you express your feelings, especially if you havent been as demonstrative as usual. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Do more detective work regarding an arrangement or a relationship that you deem dubious. It could be far more beneficial than you think, which youll quickly discover. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -You can gain the support of friends regarding a deeply important issue if you discuss it with them on a one-onone basis. Dont try to sell everyone on your plan at the same time. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -Think of your hard work on a difficult project as a labor of love, and your toil will seem much easier. A positive, happy attitude will enhance your abilities. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- There is a possibility that many of you Bulls who are unattached could rekindle a past romance at this time. From out of the blue, you might encounter or hear from an old flame. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -One of your greatest assets is your ability to finalize historically tricky situations with a minimum of fuss. Finish with the old before starting the new. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -An arrangement you enter into should be long-lasting and of equal benefit to both parties. This will be especially important if youre dealing with a member of the opposite gender. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Should you be in need of an expensive service requiring an expert, shop around before committing. Theres a good chance youll save yourself some money. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -Regardless of the involvements you might have, youre likely to make a good impression on all those you encounter. Bask in your well- deserved popularity. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- A better understanding of what is best for you, as well as for your entire family, can be achieved. Bring any constructive, common interests to the forefront for maximum effect.
