Telling The Tri-Countys Story Since 1869

More kids skip school shots in 8 states
By MIKE STOBBE The Associated Press ATLANTA More parents are opting out of school shots for their kids. In eight states now, more than 1 in 20 public school kindergartners arent getting all the vaccines required for attendance, an Associated Press analysis found. That growing trend among parents seeking vaccine exemptions has health officials worried about outbreaks of diseases that once were all but stamped out. The AP analysis found more than half of states have seen at least a slight rise in the rate of exemptions over the past five years. States with the highest exemption rates are in the West and Upper Midwest. Its really gotten much worse, said Mary Selecky, secretary of health for Washington state, where 6 percent of public school parents have opted out. Rules for exemptions vary by state and can include medical, religious or in some states philosophical reasons. Reasons for skipping some school shots vary. Some parents are skeptical that vaccines are essential. Others fear vaccines carry their own risks. Some find it easier to check a box opting out than the effort to get the shots and required paperwork schools demand. Still others are ambivalent, believing in older vaccines but questioning newer shots against, say, chickenpox. The number of shots is also giving some parents pause. By the time most children are 6, they will have been stuck with a needle about two dozen times with many of those shots given in infancy. The cumulative effect of all those shots has not been studied enough, some parents say. Many of the vaccines are unnecessary and public health officials dont honestly know what the effect of giving so many vaccines to such small children really are, said Jennifer Margulis, a mother of four and parenting book author in Ashland, Ore. But few serious problems have turned up over years of vaccinations and several studies have shown no link with autism, a theory from the 1990s that has been widely discredited. To be sure, childhood vaccination rates remain high overall, at 90 percent or better for several vaccines, including those for polio, measles, hepatitis B and even chickenpox. In many states, exemptions are filed for fewer than 1 percent of children entering school for the first time. Health officials have not identified an exemption threshold that would likely lead to outbreaks. But as they push for 100 percent immunization, they worry when some states have exemption rates climbing over 5 percent. The average state exemption rate has been estimated at less than half that. Even more troubling are pockets See SHOTS, page 3 Delphos, Ohio

St. Johns inducts four into Hall of Fame

Staff reports DELPHOS St. Johns Alumni Association inducted the class of 2011 into the Hall of Fame on Sunday. This years inductees include: Dr. Joseph P. Myers, M.D. professional achievement; Monsignor Bertrand J. Shenk service to mankind; Deb Elwer Lindeman athletic achievement; and Angeline Mom Miller service to St. Johns. Dr. Myers is a 1968 graduate of St. Johns High School, a 1972 graduate of the University of Notre Dame and a 1975 graduate of the Ohio State University College of Medicine. He completed his residency in Internal Medicine at the Riverside Methodist Hospital, Columbus, in 1978 and his fellowship in Infectious Diseases at the University of Cincinnati Hospitals in 1980. He is currently chair, Department of Medicine at Summa Akron City/ St. Thomas Hospitals and Professor of Internal Medicine. Myers and his wife, Gwen, live in Akron and are the parents of four children Emily, Caitlin, Bill and Paul. I am now and will forever be indebted to the dedicated and talented teachers and administrative personnel at St. Johns High School. These wonderful people set no limits to what their students can accomplish through hard work, dedicated study and a strong sense of social responsibility and community service, he said. These characteristics as taught by family, school, church and the townspeople as a whole are the building blocks of success for each and every student who walks through the doors of St. Johns High School. These building blocks are indeed woven into the fabric of life within the community. Msgr. Shenk was ordained to the priesthood in 1937 and he did not retire from active ministry until March 1995, serving the Lord and the church for 58 years. Over the past 50 years, Shenk has worked at numerous Diocesan assignments: St. Peter Parish, Huron; Cathedral Chapel Parish, Toledo, as assistant pastor; St. Peter Parish, Mansfield, as assistant pastor; St. Joseph Parish, Fremont, as assistant pastor; St. Patrick Parish, Bryan,

Cyber Monday Green Tuesday: Black Friday isnt the only game in town
By SARAH SKIDMORE The Associated Press PORTLAND, Ore. Cyber Monday. Green Tuesday. Black Friday. Magenta Saturday. Chances are you wont find any of these holidays on your calendar. Yet retailers are coming up with names for just about every day of the week during the holiday shopping season. During T-Mobiles Magenta Saturday, the event named for the companys pinkish-purple logo earlier this month offered shoppers the chance to buy cellphones and some tablets on a layaway plan. Mattel lured customers in with discounts of 60 percent off toys for girls and boys on Pink Friday and Blue Friday. And outdoor retailer Gander Mountain is giving shoppers deals on camouflage and other gear every Thursday through December during Camo Thursdays. There are hundreds of promotions going on this time of year, says Steve Uline, head of marketing for Gander. We needed to do something a little bit different. Its difficult to get Americans to spend money when many are struggling with job losses, underwater mortgages or dwindling retirement savings. But merchants are hoping some creative marketing will generate excitement among shoppers during the last two months of the year, a time when many of them make up to 40 percent of their annual revenue. And they know that a catchy name can make a huge difference. The more special you make it sound, the more you might be able to get people, says Allen Adamson, a managing director at brand consulting firm Landor Associates. Its tricky to come up with something simple and sticky. Retailers have done it before. Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving, in the 1960s became known as the point when merchants turn a profit or operate in the black. Later, retailers began

marketing it as the start of the holiday shopping season with earlier store hours and deep discounts of up to 70 percent off. Its since become the busiest shopping day of the year. This past weekend, Black Friday sales were $11.4 billion, up 7 percent, or nearly $1 billion from the same day last year, according to a report by ShopperTrak, which gathers data from 25,000 outlets across the country. It was the largest amount ever spent on See GAME, page 3

Ohio jobseekers learn blackjack

STATE/LOCAL

(Continued from page 1)

TOLEDO (AP) Dozens of unemployed and other workers hoping to get a spot behind a blackjack table when casinos come to Ohio are working to learn the craft of dealing and preparing for required auditions. More than 100 people gathered at class today, practicing at a makeshift casino at Owens Community College in northwest Ohio, where Penn National Gaming is training the potential employees for work in the Hollywood Casino it plans to open next year in Toledo. The Blade reports that Jose Pardo had worked 23 years for Cooper-Standard Automotive when he lost his job earlier this month as the company moved hose production from a plant in Bowling Green. Penn National Gaming expects to hire about 500 dealers at the Toledo site for poker, blackjack, craps and other games, said Neal Perry, director of table games for the casino. He said the casino has received about 3,500 applications for the jobs, expected to pay $16 to $22 an hour including tips.

Man gets 2nd chance to avoid death penalty

CINCINNATI (AP) A man convicted in 1998 of fatally beating a woman is getting a second chance to escape death row in a new sentencing trial that begins today in southwest Ohio. Rayshawn Johnson was convicted and sentenced to death for murdering neighbor Shanon Marks, 29, of Cincinnati, The Cincinnati Enquirer reported. His conviction stands, but his sentence was thrown out in 2008 by a federal appeals court in Cincinnati. The court ruled that Johnsons lawyers didnt fully investigate his abusive childhood. The appeals court agreed with a district courts ruling that an effective defense could have humanized Johnsons case during sentencing by presenting information about physical abuse and drug use in his family. The appeals ruling noted that Johnsons attorneys did such a poor job in the penalty phase of Johnsons trial that he deserved a new trial but only to determine his sentence.

that day. But Black Friday has been a blessing and a curse: In recent years, its become so popular that its known for its big crowds, long lines, and even disorder and violence among some shoppers. Black Friday has become a victim of its own success, says Adamson, the branding expert. It has been successful to the point where it has created the opportunity that if you dont want to deal with the madness, come out on Tuesday or some other day. Cyber Monday was coined in 2005 when a retail trade group noticed a spike in online sales on the Monday after Thanksgiving when people returned to their work computers and shopped. While more people now have Internet access at home, retailers still offer discounts and other online promotions for the day started by Shop.org, part of The National Retail Federation. The day has grown increasingly popular. Last year, it was the busiest online shopping day ever, with sales of more than $1 billion, according to research firm ComScore Inc. During this weeks Cyber Monday, the NRF says nearly 80 percent of retailers plan to offer special promotions. And a record 122.9 million of Americans are expected to shop on the day, up from 106.9 million who shopped on Cyber Monday last year, according to a survey conducted for Shop.org. Marketers are hoping to strike gold again. Many are doing so by appealing to Americans whove become disenchanted with big business and commercialism. Nonprofit Green America is launching Green Tuesday this week to encourage people to buy gifts with the environment and local communities in mind. The group is planning to push the event every Tuesday through December.

AA Tournament Most Valuable Player; and Western Buckeye League First Team. And her talents were being watched by university coaches, too. She received a full scholarship to Northern Kentucky University and continued her playing career there for four years. Now in her role as an assistant coach for Ottoville, she has turned to teaching her skills. I enjoy coaching, watching the young girls grow and watching them succeed not only in basketball but in life, as well, she said. When she is not giving back to the community or coaching future all-stars, she enjoys spending time with her children: Christina, Stephanie, and Annie. She and her husband, Randy, run a successful custom cabinet business. I am living a wonderful life and must credit my parents, Virgil and Rita Elwer, for their love and support, as well as my community, the teachers, St. Johns and my teammates, she concluded. Mom Miller joined the

staff and students at St. Johns in 1969 as study hall monitor. With her children still in school, Miller was reluctant but decided to try the job for a year. She retired from St. Johns 24 years later. During that time, along with raising all the students in school, she also found time to raise her five boys and two girls. She credits former student Rod Moorman, a nephew, with giving her the title Mom Miller. Her official title was study hall monitor. It was a job where Miller got to know the students. She could learn if they had any problems and she would give them motherly advice. I could write a book with all the stories I know about St. Johns, she said with a smile. But knowing all that, I have only good things to say about the school. St Johns has a great tradition and students should appreciate the privilege of attending such a wonderful school. During the 2010 commencement ceremonies, to rousing applause, Mom Miller received her honorary diploma from St. Johns.

in some states where exemption rates much higher. In some rural counties in northeast Washington, for example, rates in recent years have been above 20 percent and even as high as 50 percent. Vaccine refusers tend to cluster, said Saad Omer, an Emory University epidemiologist who has done extensive research on the issue. While parents may think it does no harm to others if their kids skip some vaccines, they are in fact putting others at risk, health officials say. No vaccine is completely effective. If an outbreak begins

in an unvaccinated group of children, a vaccinated child may still be at some risk of getting sick. Studies have found communities with higher exemption rates sometimes are places where measles have suddenly re-emerged in outbreaks. Vaccinated kids are sometimes among the cases, or children too young to be vaccinated. Last year, California had more than 2,100 whooping cough cases, and 10 infants died. Only one had received a first dose of vaccine. Your childs risk of getting disease depends on what your neighbors do, said Omer.

US to probe NATO airstrike in Pakistan

By ANNE FLAHERTY Associated Press WASHINGTON The U.S. is planning its own investigation into NATOs deadly airstrikes in Pakistan, while two senior lawmakers called for tough diplomacy after Islamabad turned away supply convoys into Afghanistan and demanded that the U.S. vacate a drone base. Gen. James Mattis, head of U.S. Central Command, which oversees American military operations in the region, was expected by today to name an investigating officer to examine the incident, according to a defense official who was not authorized to discuss the matter publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity. A key question to be examined by the U.S. is who approved the airstrikes and why. The attack could become the deadliest friendly fire incident against Pakistani troops since the war began a decade ago. It also raises serious questions about the extent of cooperation between supposed close allies in fighting terrorism. Theres a lot of diplomacy that has to occur and it has to be tough diplomacy in the sense that they need to understand that our support for them financially is dependent upon their cooperation with us, said Sen. Jon Kyl of Arizona, the Senates No. 2 Republican. Afghan officials say their soldiers called for help on Saturday after being fired upon from the direction of Pakistani border posts. Pakistani authorities claim the airstrikes were unprovoked. NATO has said it is conducting an investigation of the incident. The alliance has not commented on Pakistani claims that the attacks killed 24 soldiers, but it has not questioned them. Alliance officials previously have complained that insurgents fire from across the poorly defined frontier, often from positions close to Pakistani soldiers, who have been accused of tolerating or supporting them. The incident threatens to send U.S.-Pakistani relations to an all-time low. U.S. officials were already reeling in the wake of the raid in May on Osama bin Ladens hideout in a Pakistani garrison town. The Pakistan government was outraged it hadnt been told about the operation

IT WAS NEWS THEN

One Year Ago Santa will arrive in Ottoville at noon Saturday at the Immaculate Conception Catholic Church, Ottoville Parish Center, for the villages annual Winterfest. Children will enjoy decorating cookies, games and Banjo the Clown with his juggling and balloon-twisting magic. 25 Years Ago 1986 When most families were popping their turkeys into the oven Thanksgiving Day, such was not the case at the Michael Schulte residence. Mike has found it easier to roast the four turkeys for the annual family get-together with his outdoor grill. Three gas-fueled rotisseries were used to prepare turkeys for 47 guests. Trinity United Methodist Church will hold its annual dinner and bazaar Dec. 3 in the church social rooms. General chairman is Edna Jane Sadler. The Rev. and Mrs. John Hoover, Polly Conlon, Jean Ash and Maggie Harter are in charge of hospitality. The November meeting of the Growing Together Ohio Child Conservation League was held recently in the home of Jenny Turnwald with 18 members attending. Co-hostess was Ruth Honigford and the prelude was given by Bonnie Turnwald. Speaker for the evening was Jose Flores, principal at Ottoville Elementary School. 50 Years Ago 1961 Mayor Richard F. Wulfhorst and Coach Bob Arnzen of Delphos St. Johns High School were officially commissioned Kentucky Colonels by order of Kentucky Gov. Bert Comis Saturday night. Scrolls, Kentucky Colonel hats and string bow ties were presented to Wulfhorst and Arnzen by Tom Zimmer, former football coach here, at the Arnzen home. The Delphos Chamber of Commerce has taken initial steps to form a Delphos Credit Bureau for the benefit of every businessman in the community, according to an announcement from William Gladen, secretary of the chamber. Chamber spokesmen point out that the more businessmen who join the bureau, the greater the protection against bad accounts they will receive. Linda Knerr, daughter of F.D. Knerr of Delphos, has been chosen from a student body of 481 to be in the 35-voice Revivaltime choir, according to a release from international headquarters of the Assemblies of God. A freshman at Central Bible Institute, Knerr is majoring in religious education. 75 Years Ago 1936 Plans for the annual American Legion high school pupil essay contest were made Wednesday night at the regular meeting of Commemorative Post. Pupils from both St. Johns and Jefferson high schools will be eligible to enter the contest. John Lloyd and Oscar Kolkmeyer were named to have charge of the contest in Delphos. A letter was received recently at this office from Rev. Joseph C. Richards, pastor of the local Methodist church, who is enjoying a hunting trip to Colorado. He was accompanied by C. W. Cordermann, Frank McCure and Fred Lehman. He stated that on the first day out, the party bagged 30 jack rabbits. Two Jefferson High School cage teams went to Van Wert Wednesday night and mixed with the Union aggregations at the YMCA gymnasium. The Delphos teams brought back generous portions of the Turkey by defeating the Union teams. The Red and White Varsity defeated the Union team by a score of 24 to 15 and the Jefferson Reserves egged out the Union Reserves by a close score, 16 to 15.

Gov. scrambles to keep his job

Moderately confused

MADISON, Wis. (AP) Embattled Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker may not face a recall vote until next summer, but hes already campaigning to keep his job in the face of a major challenge by organized labor and the Democratic Party. With petitions for a recall election now circulating, Walker is running television advertising defending his record during his first 11 months in office. Soon, Republican volunteers will begin going door to door, making phone calls and writing letters to the editor arguing that his most controversial initiative, which stripped public employee unions of most of their bargaining rights, was justified by the states fiscal problems. The Walker recall effort, which will be one of the most fiercely contested races in the 2012 national campaign, will serve as a gauge of the publics support for confrontational measures used by new Republican governors to balance state budgets. In only two weeks, petitioners here are on pace to gather more than enough signatures to put Walker on the ballot against a yet-to-be-determined opponent. Walkers backers are trying to take lessons from the only two successful gubernatorial recalls in U.S. history against California Gov. Gray Davis in 2003 and North Dakota Gov. Lynn Frazier in 1921. Those governors were too slow to fight back, said David Schecter, a political scientist at California State University, Fresno, who has studied recall campaigns. Their races were mostly lost before the signatures were submitted. Theres this momentum that builds and once it builds its very difficult for things to reverse, Schecter said. The signature stage is really the election before the election. In that stage, voters are letting their choices be known. Walker will try to stop the recall election, or delay it for months, by challenging the validity of signatures that must be turned in by Jan. 17. Recall supporters must gather 540,000 names of registered voters. State elections board workers will manually review all the signatures for obvious mistakes or missing information. Republican Party officials said they also will scour the petitions but would not elaborate on their methods. The effort to recall Walker echoes the other successful gubernatorial recalls, which were well financed and conducted when the electorate was frustrated. The campaign is expected to cost far more than the $44 million spent on nine recall efforts targeting Wisconsin state senators this summer. The earliest a Walker recall election could be held is March 27. But most expect it to be later, given the expected petition challenges and lawsuits. Lawsuits were filed on both sides alleging wrongdoing in the petition process in the nine state Senate recall elections. The elections were allowed to proceed and two GOP incumbents lost. Along with the effort to recall Walker and Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch, petitions are being circulated targeting four more Republican state senators. Democrats need to win one seat to take over majority control of the Senate, but Republicans also control the Assembly.

Drawdowns wreak havoc for Guards

By LOLITA C. BALDOR Associated Press WASHINGTON Two months ago, Demetries Luckett left his job in Michigan, turned in his cable box, sent his daughter to live with her mother, and headed for Camp Shelby in Mississippi. As a 1st lieutenant in Michigans National Guard, he was being deployed to Afghanistan. But just a month after he arrived for training, the Army decided Uncle Sam didnt need him after all. Now Lucketts unemployed and back home in Harper Woods, Mich. a victim of the Obama administrations ongoing effort to pull at least 33,000 U.S. troops out of Afghanistan by next fall. Unlike active-duty soldiers who are stationed at U.S. military bases across the country and can be sent on a moments notice to a conflict anywhere in the world the nations citizen soldiers have civilian jobs and lives they have to set aside when they get those deployment notices. And unlike active-duty soldiers, Guard members may have little to go back to, if their country changes its mind. Luckett is not alone. In the last 60 days, as many as 8,900 Army National Guard soldiers were either sent home early from Iraq or Afghanistan, By PHILIP ELLIOTT Associated Press or were told that the Pentagons plans to send them to war had either been shelved or changed. As a result, U.S. military and Guard leaders have been scrambling to find alternative missions for many of the soldiers particularly those who had put their lives and jobs on hold and were depending on the deployment for their livelihood. If youre a 25-year-old infantryman, and youre a student at Ohio State University, and you decide not to register for school in July because you were going to mobilize, and we say your services arent needed anymore that becomes a significantly emotional event in that persons life, said Col. Ted Hildreth, chief of mobilization and readiness for the Army National Guard. Guard members scheduled for deployment, he said, often quit or take extended leaves from their jobs, put college on hold, end or break their apartment leases, sell or rent their houses, and turn their medical or legal practices over to someone else. And in some cases, in this flagging economy, Guard members who may be unemployed or underemployed are relying on the year-long paycheck, which can include extra money for combat pay or tax-free benefits. These are commitments and contracts that have been signed, and so when these a promotion of Gingrich as a discreet rebuke of Romney. The Union Leaders editorial telegraphed conservatives concerns about Romneys shifts on crucial issues of abortion and gay rights were unlikely to fade. Those worries have led Romney to keep Iowas Jan. 3 caucuses where conservatives hold great sway at arms length. At the same time, the endorsement boosts Gingrichs conservative credentials. He spent the week defending his immigration policies against accusations that they are a form of amnesty.Today, Gingrich takes a campaign swing through South Carolina, the Souths first primary state. Romney, taking a few days break for the Thanksgiving holiday, has kept focused on a long-term strategy that doesnt lurch from one development to another. Last week, he picked up the backing of Sen. John Thune, a South Dakota conservative, to add to his impressive roster of supporters. The Union Leaders rejection of Romney wasnt surprising despite his efforts to woo state leaders. The newspaper rejected Romney

beforehand, and U.S. secrecy surrounding the operation underscored a deep mistrust between the two allies. Frustration is particularly acute among members of Congress, who amid an economic recession are being asked to support billions in military and civilian aid for Pakistan. Sen. Dick Durbin of Illinois, the second-ranking Democrat, said Pakistans latest move to punish coalition forces for the airstrikes is further evidence that the U.S. must end its military involvement in the region and bring troops home. As difficult as it is to fight our way thru this diplomatic morass between the incompetence and maybe corruption of Afghanistan and the complicity in parts of Pakistan, our soldiers are caught right in the middle of this at a time they are trying to bring peace to the region, Durbin said. While calling for tougher diplomacy with Pakistan, Kyl said he would stop short of cutting off U.S. aid entirely to Pakistan. He said that severing ties in the past has only led to an increased influence of Islamic extremists among Pakistans military ranks.

Gingrich wins NH backing as Romney plugs along

WASHINGTON Republican presidential hopeful Newt Gingrich landed the endorsement of New Hampshires largest newspaper on Sunday while rival Mitt Romney earned a dismissive wave, potentially resetting the race in the state with the first-in-the-nation primary. For Gingrich, the former House speaker, the backing builds on his recent rise in the polls and quick work to build a campaign after a disastrous start in the summer. Romney, the former Massachusetts governor who has a vacation home in the state and has been called a nearly native son of New Hampshire, absorbed the blow heading into the Jan. 10 vote thats vital to his campaign strategy. We dont back candidates based on popularity polls or big-shot backers. We look for conservatives of courage and conviction who are independent-minded, grounded in their core beliefs about this nation and its people, and best equipped for the job, The New Hampshire Union Leader said in its front-page editorial, which was as much

changes happen, they are not insignificant, he said. So we work with the unit, the country team and the joint force headquarters to define who are no-kidding hardships and who we had to work to find other employments opportunities to fulfill the 400-day mobilization commitment that we made to that soldier. In the coming weeks, as America works to extricate itself from two wars, the U.S. will pull the remaining 18,000 troops out of Iraq, and withdraw 10,000 forces from Afghanistan. Another 23,000 or more will come out of Afghanistan by next fall. And while the political ramifications of the war drawdowns are hotly debated topics, there is often little said or known about the cascading effects such decisions have on the lives, jobs and schooling of the National Guard and Reserve troops. Guard units are notified of their deployments as much as two years in advance, so they make long-term plans to meet the year-long military commitment. But to meet the oftenchanging withdrawal timetables for Iraq and Afghanistan, the Pentagon has had to abruptly shuffle units, and even individual soldiers, around. The major moves include shifting forces from Iraq to new missions in Kuwait or to Afghanistan. four years ago in favor of Arizona Sen. John McCain, using front-page columns and editorials to promote McCain and criticize Romney. It helped McCain a lot because it buttressed the time he spent there. McCain camped out in New Hampshire and was able to make good with The Union Leader, said Craig Stevens, a spokesman for Romneys 2008 bid who is not working for a presidential candidate this time. Now, the speaker has to spend the time there, too, Stevens said. Since his first run, Romney courted publisher Joseph W. McQuaid. Earlier this year Romney and his wife, Ann, had dinner with the McQuaids at the Bedford Village Inn near Manchester, hoping to reset the relationship. It didnt prove enough. Romneys advisers were quick to point out that Gingrich went into October with more than $1 million in campaign debt. Romney, meanwhile, was sitting on a pile of cash and only last week began running television ads a luxury Gingrich cant yet afford. The duos rivals, meanwhile, tried to gain traction.

Flyers rescue victory from the jaws of defeat

By JIM METCALFE jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com WAPAKONETA It likely will be a week that the St. Johns football team and the entire community will never forget with the death of junior starting center Kent Staup Wednesday in the midst of preparing for a Division VI state semifinal clash against archrival Marion Local. With junior Brock Bonifas leading the Blue Jays onto Harmon Field in Wapak prior to kickoff carrying Staups helmet, it started an emotional and exhausting battle. The Blue Jays fell behind by 13 points and seemed on the verge of a riveting comeback to take the lead with 7:03 to go but the Flyers spoiled things with a touchdown with 32.6 seconds left to grab a heart-fought and heart-breaking to the defending champion Jays 21-14 victory. The Flyers (12-2) head to the state title game 11 a.m. Saturday at Cantons Fawcett Stadium versus Buckeye Central, who defeated Western Reserve 22-21. I have talked all year about the grit and character this team has shown when many people never gave them a chance. For them to deal with everything they had to this week and still prepare for a football shows that to an incredible degree, an emotional St. Johns coach Todd Schulte related. I will say this again and again; I am so proud of the effort these kids gave today under very trying circumstances. We asked them to play as hard as they possibly could and they did so. Marion Local mentor Tim Goodwin could relate. We had a similar thing happen to us several years ago when we were getting Jays 19, Bertke stood in the pocket and found Lee Pierron (3 catches, 59 yards) over the middle at the 2 and then the goal line. Bertke hit Kellen Goettemoeller for the pointer and a 21-14 edge. Adam is the most accurate passer weve ever had; that is what we see every day in practice, Goodwin added. It seemed that every break went against us. Part of that is the defense St. Johns plays every year; that is why this is such a great game every time we play. The Jays had to go 80 yards with three timeouts but only reached the 25 before turning it over on downs, effectively ending the game and their season at 10-4. A fumble on the second play from scrimmage that was recovered by Marions Justin Rutschilling set the Flyers up at the Blue Jay 34. Seven plays later at the 1 keyed by an 11-yard pass from Bertke to Goettemoeller Jake Heitkamp took a handoff off left guard to the end zone.

At the Jays gained the Flyer 37 but on fourth-and-2, Clark was incomplete on a pass. On the third play from there, a Bertke pass was tipped by Warnecke and senior linebacker Kyle Neumeier picked it off, putting the Jays in business at midfield. Tyler Jettinghoff (25 rushes, 129 yards) ran for 11 but a sack of junior quarterback Mark Boggs (9 yards) knocked the Jays out of range and they had to punt, with Calvelage (5 punts, 37.4 average) pinning the foe at the 9. A shanked punt (21 yards) by Mitch Kremer gave the Jays hope at the Flyer 30. Four plays hence at the 2 set up by senior Jordan Bergfelds 19-yard run he finished it by taking a toss off right tackle with 39.3 ticks to go. Senior Josh Rode made it 13-7 to seal the half. Blue Jay senior Garth Lucius recovered a fumble on the second-half kickoff at the Flyer 30. However, Boggs was sacked for minus11 yards to again stymie the Jays. After three punts, including another shank by Kremer (3 yards), the Jays started at the Flyer 21. Seven running plays later, Bergfeld was stopped at the 1 on 4th-and-4 from the 4. After forcing a punt, the Jays commenced an 8-play, 64-yard drive aided by a personal foul on the Flyers to take the lead. Jettinghoff got untracked, running four times for 37 yards, and the finisher came with Clark in the shotgun throwing to Calvelage (3 grabs, 37 yards) in the right corner of the end zone and making a great catch for the six. Rode gave the Jays a 14-13 edge with 7:03 remaining. A fumble on a reverse on the kickoff pinned the Flyers at the 11 and they had to punt. They also lost Heitkamp, who was helped off the field with an ankle injury. The Jays then rode Jettinghoff (8 rushes, 41 yards) and a facemask penalty from the 25 to the Flyer 19 but a costly fumble was recovered by Keller to commence the game-clinching score. A lot of people didnt think wed have the type of year we did, especially when you consider what we lost from last year and how we started at 0-2. These kids didnt accept that, Schulte added. They simply kept getting better and fought every game. We had a lot of tough games throughout the year and we gutted through so much. It is just so unfortunate we couldnt finish this one.

Big Green rolls to Tip-Off title

By KEVIN WANNEMACHER The Times Bulletin VAN WERT For one quarter, host Van Wert gave Ottoville all it could handle in Saturdays McDonalds TipOff Classic girls basketball championship. However, the Big Green took the momentum late in the stanza and ran away from there to a 57-37 win over the Lady Cougars to move to 2-0 on the season. Van Wert jumped on top early, scoring eight of the first dozen points of the contest. A trey by Alex Morrow, a basket and free throw from Molly Gamble along with an Alexis Dowdy basket put Van Wert on top, 8-4. With the Cougar lead at 12-8 late in the period, Ottoville seized the momentum. A trey by Lauren Kramer pulled Ottoville within 12-11. Following a Cougar turnover, the Big Green used a Nicole Vorst basket just before the buzzer to grab a 13-12 advantage after eight minutes of action. We were able to get two big plays there right before the end of the first quarter, noted Ottoville head coach Dave Kleman. That was big and I think it helped us get a little momentum there going into the second quarter. Van Wert did take the lead back on a Morrow trey as the Cougars went in front, 16-14. Ottoville, though, answered with a 10-0 run to seize control of the game. A Kramer trey, a Lauren Koch foul shot and a Rachel Turnwald made it 20-16, Big Green. Two Abby Siefker free throws followed by a Siefker basket widened the lead to 24-16 with the green and gold on top. The Putnam County squad added a Taylor Mangas basket, a Kramer trey and a Vorst bucket in grabbing a 34-21 advantage at the intermission. We kind of got away from what we wanted to do, noted Van Wert head coach Lance Moonshower. Ottoville was a reason for that. They are just so well-coached and they turned up the heat on us and we didnt handle it very well. Dave does such a great job with them and fundamentally, they are very, very good. Van Wert got as close as 38-30 in the third quarter on a Dowdy bucket but the Big Green quickly responded. Ottoville finished the period on a 9-2 run, with four different players scoring in the spurt, to take a 47-32 lead into the final quarter. We have a lot of girls who are capable of scoring and making plays, Kleman added. This team has a lot of depth and we are able to bring girls off the bench who are very capable. Ottoville had nine girls score in the contest, led by 13 from Siefker and a dozen by Kramer. Vorst (nine), Turnwald (seven), Megan Bendele (six), Tonya Kaufman (five), Mangas (two), Rachel Beining (two) and Koch (one) provided the other points. We were able to get production from a lot of girls tonight, concluded the Big Green mentor. Its a good start for us but we also have to keep getting better. Well go back to practice this week to try and improve and come back ready to play next week. Alex Morrow scored nine points to pace Van Wert with Livia Butler adding eight. Gamble (seven), Dowdy (six), Erin Morrow (four), Claire Butler (two) and Cheyenne Handy (one) rounded out the scorers for Van Wert. We have shown improvement these first two days but we have to continue to do so, Moonshower noted. I am proud of the girls effort tonight and they came out and battled with them. Ottoville visits Lincolnviww 1 p.m. Saturday, while Van Wert hosts St. Johns Dec. 6. In the consolation bracket, for three of the four quarters, Crestview and Wayne Trace played virtually even. However, it was a key Crestview spurt in the second quarter that lifted the lady Knights to a 42-34 win over the Lady Raiders. A low-scoring first quarter saw the Knights post a 7-5 lead after eight minutes of action as the two teams combined to make 3-of-19 field goals and commit 10 turnovers. The second stanza opened with a pair of free throws by Wayne Traces Ashley Saylor to knot the contest at 7-7. From that point on, though, it was all Knights the rest of the first half. Crestview outscored Wayne Trace 15-8 to close the stanza and take a 22-15 advantage at the intermission. Kirstin Hicks and Lindsey Motycka each found the basket on consecutive possessions for the Knights before a Krystal Wannemacher bucket kept Wayne Trace within 11-9. After the two teams traded a pair of buckets each, Danica and Kirstin Hicks scored on back-toback Knight possessions to widen the margin to 19-13. Wayne Traces Sarah Feasby cut the deficit to four with a bucket but the lady Knights closed the first half with a Danica Hicks trey for the 7-point lead. We were able to put a little bit of a run together there in the second quarter, noted Crestview head coach Greg Rickard. Danica made a couple of shots in that run and we also got solid play from our younger girls as well. The Raiders closed the deficit to five points at 30-25 on a Feasby bucket but would get no closer. A Mackenzie Riggenbach trey along with a Kirstin Hicks basket helped put the Knights on top 36-27 at the end of the third quarter. One of the things we talked about was taking care of the basketball and being aggressive defensively, noted Rickard. I thought we did a good job of that tonight for the most part. Wayne Trace got within 37-31 early in the fourth period following a Saylor basket but the Knights would hold on from there. Motycka hit 1-of-2 free throws and a Danica Hicks bucket widened

Also, free throw shooting is something we need to get better at. Mackenzie Richard led the way for the Lady Knights with 11 points, four rebounds and three steals. She had a nice game and really did a lot of things for us tonight, Rickard commented on Richard. We ask a lot out of her and she stepped up tonight. Kirstin Hicks added eight markers with Danica Hicks and Motycka chipping in seven. Kirstin Hicks also had seven boards with Riggenbach picking up four steals and five points. Catelyn Mefferd also had a bucket. Mackenzie did a nice job of stepping up and controlling the point for us, concluded Rickard. She had to play more than what we anticipated but did a pretty good job for us despite being a little fatigued. Crestview senior guard Madison Etzler left the game in the third quarter to an apparent knee injury after recording two points and a steal. We really dont know anything at this point, commented Rickard. Once there is a MRI done, we will have a much better picture of how it actually is. Feasby recorded 10 points and a dozen rebounds for the Lady Raiders. Saylor added eight points and Wannemacher added seven markers and six boards. Lauren Speice (five), Becca Habern (two) and Kari Myers (two) completed the Raider scoring. I thought we did a better job tonight than we did last night, commented Raider head coach Greg Davis. We knew coming in that we were going to be playing some inexperienced kids and there would be an adjustment period. The big thing for us is to just continue improving and working hard to get better. Wayne Trace returns to action on Tuesday as they visit Parkway. Crestview also plays Parkway in its next game on Tuesday.

BLUFFTON The Bluffton University mens basketball team knocked off a previously-undefeated Hiram College squad 73-68 on Saturday, improving to 4-0 on the year. The offense was powered by senior Mychal Hill (London/Jon. Alder) as he dropped in 17 points and dished out three assists. Hiram started the game quickly as the visitors bolted to an early 18-6 lead with 14:53 left in the first half. A jumper by sophomore Josh Johnson (Ottawa/ Ottawa-Glandorf), followed by a layup from Dillon Long (Rockford/Parkway) closed the gap to 18-10. Two Hiram free throws pushed the lead back to 10 at the 12:20 mark. The Beavers proceeded to go on a 14-0 run. Senior Nick Lee (Mt. Blanchard/ Vanlue) dropped in a three, cutting the deficit to 20-17 with 8:53 remaining first half. Back-to-back layups by Brent Farley (Lima/ Shawnee) and Dustin Kinn (Alvada/New Riegel) gave Bluffton a 21-20 lead at the 7:44 mark. The home team ended the half on a 27-8 jag over the final 13:50 of the period to take a 33-26 advantage at the break. Bluffton opened its largest lead of the game, 51-42, with 9:34 remaining in the game but Hiram would not go away. A trey by leadingscorer Andrew Wiegand at the 5:49 mark cut the Beaver lead to 61-60. The teams exchanged baskets down the stretch before Bluffton went up 68-64 with 54 seconds remaining. Hiram missed a three and the carom came off to Lee who was fouled. The senior guard stepped to line and knocked down both free throws, pushing the lead to 70-64 with 29 seconds remaining. Hiram got a quick deuce and then fouled Hill with 21 seconds left. He took his turn at the stripe and all but sealed the

game as he knocked down both free throws, making it 72-66. The Terriers added a Wiegand deuce as the clock wound down on Blufftons 73-68 victory. The Beavers had four players in double figures, led by Hill with 17. Farley and Lee each added 12, while Kinn dropped in 11. Will Pope (Somerville/ Preble Shawnee) chipped in with eight points and six boards off the bench and Johnson tallied seven counters. Farley and Kinn also pulled down six rebounds apiece, while senior Steve Swick (Lima/Elida) grabbed a career-high five boards. Bluffton connected on 24-of-54 from the field (44.4 percent), compared to 26-of-61 (42.6 percent) for the Terriers. However, both teams hit 50 percent or better during the final 20 minutes. Hiram and Bluffton both knocked down seven shots from distance, but the Beavers were 18-of-26 (69.2 percent) from the charity stripe, while Hiram finished 9-for-12 (75 percent). The home team pulled down five more rebounds (37-32) but the Beavers also turned it over four more times (117). With the 73-68 victory, the Beavers stay perfect at 4-0 on the season.

Jays beat Lady Dawgs, Wildkittens win own Classic

By JIM METCALFE jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com BATH TOWNSHIP Either St. Johns (3 times) or Bath (4) had won the seven previous Bath Tip-Off Classic girls basketball tournaments held at The Tub of Bath High School. Make that five for the Wildkittens as they shellacked Lima Central Catholic (1-1) 60-27 in Sundays finals. The Lady Jays (1-1) pelted Elida (0-2) 47-19 in the consolation game. The games were held Sunday due to the success of both the Blue Jays and Bulldogs football teams. In the consolation bracket, both the teams started slowly as it was only 6-0 at the midway part of the first period. While the Lady Bulldogs never did heat up (7-of35 for the game, 3-of-12 long range, for 20%), the Jays did, using the long ball 4-of-8 in the canto, 8-of-19 for the contest to get going. Sophomore Eric Saine hit two of them (3 overall for 9 markers; 3 steals) and junior Jessica Recker (3 assists) tacked on one from the left wing with 41 seconds to go for a 19-6 edge after eight minutes. Junior Osha Owens (10 counters, 8 boards, 4 steals) and classmate Bo Kim had treys for the Bulldogs. With a combination of cold shooting 0-of-10 and solid Blue Jay defense out of a 3-2 zone and man-to-man halfcourt schemes, the Lady Dawgs couldnt dent the scoreboard in the second stanza, running their scoreless streak to 10 minutes by the end of the half. The Jays, with junior Katie Vorst scoring six of her team-high 13 (6 boards), led 31-6 after 16 minutes as senior Courtney Grothouse (11 markers, 9 assists, 5 boards) banged in a triple. The Bulldogs added 3:03 to their drought before Owens hit a bucket at 4:57 for a 34-8 deficit. The Jays cooled off as well, leading 39-10 on a triple from the right wing by Saine before Owens netted a trio from the right wing with 7.1 ticks showing for a 39-13 score. With nothing but the final margin of victory to decide in the fourth, the Jays won that edition 8-6. The Bulldogs added 2-of-6 singles (33.3%); 27 caroms (10 offensive) as sophomore Torie McAdams added eight); 28 turnovers; and 12 fouls. Elida is off until Dec. 6 when they visit Spencerville. The Jays were 17-of-45 overall (37.8%) and 5-of-10 at the line (50%); secured 34 off the glass (12 offensive) as senior Shelby Reindel added seven rebounds; 21 errors; and 16 fouls. St. Johns hosts St. Marys Memorial 6 p.m. Saturday. Both coaches used this opening weekend to figure some things out for their overall young teams. We have a lot of girls that have not played varsity before; thats why you like to get the first game over (a loss to host Bath Friday). We knew there would be growing pains but we did get better from the opener, Jays mentor Dan Grothouse noted. We were a lot better offensively; we had our moments when we moved the ball very well, found the right person and knocked down some shots. Then we had our lulls; we need to work on being more consistent. We are experimenting, too, with the 3-2 zone. We may need to use that more, especially against a quick guard like Owens; we dont have the quickness we might have had in the past, so it is a better matchup. Elida coach Deb Stetler is in the same boat. We have no seniors and are all-but starting over. However, I wont allow the girls to use that as an excuse, Stetler added. We have to adjust quickly to the speed, intensity and physicalness of varsity ball; we might not be so worried about the scoreboard. We need to just focus on what we can do and the fundamentals, things we can control, and not worry about the fancy parts of the game. In the finals, the Wildkittens used the size of 6-0 junior Emily Ruhe in the paint (12 markers, 10 boards) and their dreaded full-court pressure (16 turnovers versus 7 of their own) to wither the Thunderbirds. However, it was close for a quarter. The Birds only turned the ball over three times in the first stanza while Bath had four different girls score. They only led 9-3 at one point before a 3-ball by Stacia Allen (11 counters, 3 treys) made the score 9-6 to end the stanza. All that went out the window in the second canto: Bath

upped the pressure with their full man-to-man look and when they werent turning the Thunderbirds over (7 times), they forced bad shots (10-of-33 total, 6-of14 long range, for 30.3%) and rebounded the miss. That fueled the running game, as well as opened up lanes in the LCC 2-3 zone for Ruhe (6 counters) and slasher Taylor Dackin (6 of her game-high 17) as they shot 10-of-13 in the period (25-of-54 overall, 5-of-19 downtown, for 46.3%). Two freebies by Ruhe with 5.5 seconds left made the halftime score 34-10, Bath. If LCC had any hopes of the comeback in the third, they were quickly quelled as Bath kept up the pressure and owned the backboards 12-6 (37-20 overall, 16-2 on second chances). They used a 16-9 spread to open up a 50-18 margin late on a basket by Jess Johns (6 points, 5 boards, 5 assists, 4 steals) before Shanna Farler (4 rebounds) hit 1-of-2 free throws with 44.8 ticks to go for a 50-19 scoreboard. Both Bath mentor Greg Mauk and LCC coach Bill Taflinger emptied their benches in the fourth period. LCC finished with 1-of-2 at the line (50%); and nine fouls. Kelly Ahman had three assists. Bath was 5-of-10 from charity (50%); and had three fouls.

Twilight keeps shining with $42M second weekend

By DAVID GERMAIN The Associated Press LOS ANGELES The latest Twilight movie has plenty of daylight left with a second-straight win at the weekend box office. The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1 took in $42 million domestically over the three-day weekend and $62.3 million in the fiveday Thanksgiving boom time from Wednesday to Sunday. That raised its domestic total to $221.3 million, while the Summit Entertainment release added $71.5 million overseas to lift the international total to $268 million and the worldwide take to $489.3 million. Debuting at No. 2 was Disneys family flick The Muppets, with $29.5 million for the three-day weekend and $42 million over the five-day holiday haul. Three other family films rounded out the top-five: the Warner Bros. sequel Happy Feet Two at No. 3 with a three-day total of $13.4 million and $18.4 million for five days; Sonys animated comedy Arthur Christmas at No. 4 with $12.7 million for three days and $17 million for five days; and Paramounts epic adventure Hugo at No. 5 with $11.4 million for three days and $15.4 million for five days. Between Breaking Dawn and the blitz of family films, analysts thought Hollywood had a shot at record revenue over Thanksgiving, one of the years busiest weekends at movie theaters. But viewers did not come in anywhere close to record numbers. I was pretty surprised by this. I just thought this was the perfect combination of films in the marketplace, said Paul Dergarabedian, analyst for box-office tracker Hollywood. com. Maybe there was just too much out there. Domestic revenue totaled $234 million from Wednesday to Sunday, well below the $273 million record set two years ago, when The Twilight Saga: New Moon led the Thanksgiving weekend, according to Hollywood.com. Receipts also fell short of last Thanksgivings $264 million haul, when Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 finished on top. Studio executives concede its growing harder to lure fans into theaters given all the portable games, devices and other electronics people have to fill up their entertainment time. A so-so Thanksgiving on a weekend with such a good variety of movies could be a sign that Hollywood simply has to live with diminished expectations. I dont know that choice is ever a bad thing, and in terms of a weekend for families, this is one of the best, said Dave Hollis, head of distribution for Disney, which brought The Muppets back to the bigscreen after a 12-year absence. The challenge is breaking through and being relevant and meaningful and fresh enough to take the more finicky customers and have them choose you. Disney reported that The Muppets drew a good mix of families and couples without children who fondly remember Kermit, Miss Piggy and the rest of the gang on The Muppet Show. The film stars Jason Segel and Amy Adams as fans helping to reunite the Muppets for a telethon to save their decaying studio. Breaking Dawn was holding close to the pattern set by New Moon two years ago, though domestic revenues were off slightly. Factoring in higher ticket prices since New Moon, the audience shrank even further for Breaking Dawn. I think the audience has changed a bit. Everybodys grown a little older, and I guess we lose a few of our patrons to age, said Richie Fay, head of distribution for Summit. With no big new releases coming next weekend, though, Breaking Dawn has a shot at making up some ground, Fay said. Happy Feet Two has failed to live up to its Academy Award-winning predecessor, a

blockbuster that took in nearly $200 million domestically. The sequel about dancing penguins has managed just $43.8 million since opening Nov. 18, a 10-day total that barely matches the opening-weekend gross of the 2006 original. Arthur Christmas, from the British animation unit Aardman that made Chicken Run and the Wallace and Gromit films, has long-haul potential because of its good reviews and holiday story line. The voice cast includes James McAvoy, Hugh Laurie and Jim Broadbent in a Christmas Eve romp about a childs present that falls through the cracks in Santa Claus high-tech delivery operation. Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to Hollywood.com. Where available, latest international numbers are also included. Final domestic figures will be released today. 1. The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1, $42 million ($71.5 million international). 2. The Muppets, $29.5 million ($1.6 million international). 3. Happy Feet Two, $13.4 million ($10 million international). 4. Arthur Christmas, $12.7 million ($11.9 million international). 5. Hugo, $11.4 million. 6. Jack and Jill, $10.3 million. 7. Immortals, $8.8 million ($8 million international). 8. Puss in Boots, $7.5 million ($9 million international). 9. Tower Heist, $7.3 million ($7.3 million international). 10.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Help a disagreeable old friend to look for the good in people instead of always dwelling on whats wrong. Its just a bad habit, and life can be a whole lot nicer if they can learn to brighten up. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- If you can keep your mind riveted on the results that everyone desires, it will help overcome any obstacles that might periodically get in the way. Dont let anything impede your progress. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -Concentrate on and emphasize the facts, not the frills when trying to present a case to others. Doing so would help sway to your cause the people whose help you need. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -Get your mind off all the small details and focus on a profitable purpose as a whole. Once you do, everything else will automatically fall into place. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Your peers recognize that you have the leadership abilities to steer everyone through what might be a difficult situation. Take the reins and guide them through the maze. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- An opportunity, albeit of a limited nature, will present itself to you through the offices of a grateful person whom you assisted in the past.

Medicares drug coverage gap shrinks

By RICARDO ALONSO-ZALDIVAR Associated Press WASHINGTON Medicares prescription coverage gap is getting noticeably smaller and easier to manage this year for millions of older and disabled people with high drug costs. The doughnut hole, an anxiety-inducing catch in an otherwise popular benefit, will shrink about 40 percent for those unlucky enough to land in it, according to new Medicare figures provided in response to a request from The Associated Press. The average beneficiary who falls into the coverage gap would have spent $1,504 this year on prescriptions. But thanks to discounts and other provisions in President Barack Obamas health care overhaul law, that cost fell to $901, according to Medicares Office of the Actuary, which handles economic estimates. A 50 percent discount that the law secured from pharmaceutical companies on brand name drugs yielded an average savings of $581. Medicare also picked up more of the cost of generic drugs, saving an additional $22. The estimates are averages, so some Medicare recipients may do worse and others better. Also, its still unclear if the discounts will start to overcome seniors deep unease about the law. Concern over cutting Medicare to expand coverage for the uninsured helped push older voters toward Republicans in the 2010 congressional elections. Obama and the Democrats have been trying to woo them back ever since. For people with high drug expenditures, the 50 percent discount offers real savings, said Tricia Neuman, director of Medicare policy for the nonpartisan Kaiser Family Foundation. Its certainly more helpful than no coverage at all, which is what they had previously. More than 2 million beneficiaries already have gotten some help, discounts that have gone largely to middle-class seniors, because the poor are covered in the gap at taxpayer expense. For retired elementary school teacher Carolyn Friedman, it meant she didnt need a loan to pay for drugs that keep her epilepsy under control. What a change for the better, said Friedman, 71, of Sunrise, Fla. This year it was easier to pay my bills, whereas last year I had to borrow money to pay for my medications when I was in the doughnut hole. One of her brand-name anti-seizure drugs cost about $370 in the gap last year, and the other about $270. This year Friedman paid about $150 and $130, respectively, for a months supply. Medicare covers about 47 million older and disabled people, and about 9 in 10 have some kind of prescription plan. Most rely on the drug benefit, also known as Part D, which is delivered through private insurance plans. Beneficiaries have until Dec. 7 to change their drug plans for 2012. Consumer advocates recommend that seniors check their coverage during open enrollment to see if their current choice remains the best for next year. Many families start the process around the Thanksgiving holiday. The coverage gap, a money-saving idea from a previous Congress, never has been popular. It starts after an individual beneficiary and his or her drug plan have spent a total of $2,840 on medications for the year. Seniors are then on their own for the next $3,600. Once total spending reaches about $6,440, Medicares catastrophic coverage kicks in and beneficiaries pay only a token amount. Most

people do not spend enough in the doughnut hole to qualify for catastrophic coverage. Although few private insurance plans still cap the amount they spend on medications, Medicares hole-in-the-middle approach is highly unusual. The Republican-led Congress that passed the drug benefit under President George W. Bush was trying to balance coverage and costs, as many conservatives fretted about creating a new unfunded entitlement. Supporters wanted all beneficiaries to get some initial benefit from the program, and they wanted to protect those with overwhelmingly high costs. The resulting compromise led to the doughnut hole. Under Obamas health care law, the gap will be gradually phased down by 2020. This year, the law provides a 50 percent discount on brand name drugs and 7 percent break on generics. Next year the discount on generics rises to 14 percent. When the changes are fully phased in, beneficiaries will still be responsible for their annual deductible and 25 percent of the cost of their medications until they reach catastrophic coverage.

US student beaten after Cairo arrest

By KELLY DASCHLE Associated Press Forced to lie still for hours in the dark, the American students held during protests in Egypt were told they would be shot if they moved or made any noise, one of them said Sunday on his first full day home. It was the most frightening experience of my life, I believe, Derrik Sweeney said. Speaking to The Associated Press by Skype from Jefferson City, Mo., Sweeney said the evening of Nov. 20 started peacefully in Cairo, with Tahrir Square abuzz with ideas of democracy and freedom. The three wandered the streets and wound up in a large group of protesters outside the Interior Ministory, Sweeney said. The demonstrations escalated, with the protesters yelling and perhaps throwing stones, he said. Eventually the police shot back something, Im not exactly sure what, he said. We didnt wait to see. But as soon as we saw some sort of firing coming from the gun and heard it, the whole crowd stampeded out and we sprinted away. He said they fled to an area that seemed calmer and were approached by four or five Egyptians in plain clothes. The Egyptians offered to lead them to safety but instead took them into custody, Sweeney said.

They were threatened to be force-fed gasoline, beaten and forced to lie in a near-fetal position in the dark for six hours with their hands in cuffs behind their backs, Sweeney said. He said they were told: If you move or make any noise, we will shoot you. They were hitting us in the face and in the back of the neck, he said. Not to the point of bleeding or I cant say I have any lasting major scars at this point, but they were hitting us.
