DARE students help needy at Thanksgiving Just in time for the Thanksgiving holiday, the Shelby County Sheriff’s Office Drug Abuse Resistance Education (DARE) program is preparing to distribute numerous food baskets to local families in need.

Food for the baskets was collected by fifth-grade students from Botkins, Fort Loramie, Jackson Center and Houston School districts. The students recently received classroom instruction on “Good Citizenship” and “Helping Others” while participating in the DARE program.

The students were given a voluntary assignment where they would donate a nonperishable food item and 50 cents.

The students were required to earn 50 cents by doing chores or tasks for family members and neighbors. As a result of a lot of hard work, the students were able to generate enough items and money to make numerous food baskets to local needy families, Sheriff John

Info sought on Piqua neighborhood PIQUA — Rebecca Torsell, an Americorps volunteer in Piqua, has begun an architectural survey of Shawnee, an area of Piqua originally known as Huntersville.

The project will create an overview of the historic significance of the area and information collected will be added to an Ohio Historical Society database and filed in the Piqua Public Library.

Torsell will work on the survey for the next year, through the end of September.

She is interested in pho-

tos, documentation and histories of the families who lived or worked in buildings constructed in Shawnee in 1963 or earlier. The buildings must still have original building materials visible.

“If they’ve been aluminumsided, they won’t work,” she said. She has already identified several properties and given homeowners brochures about her proejct.

People who have information about appropriate Shawnee properties that could be helpful to the survey should contact Torsell at 937-773-6753, ext. 231.

Health center hosts Hoelscher VERSAILLES — Dan Hoelscher, certified financial planner and certified senior advisor, discussed Medicare enrollment when he spoke Nov. 13, at Versailles Health Care Center during a Power Over Parkinson’s meeting.

He shared his presentation, “Attention Retirees … Beware of Sharks.”

Hoelscher, founder of Seniormark LLC, discussed five ways retirees can protect themselves during this year’s Medicare annual enrollment period which runs to Dec. 7.

“There are a lot of rules surrounding Medicare, so be careful when you do make any changes,” he said.

“Some changes could get you disenrolled from a plan you didn’t intend to get disenrolled from. Don’t assume all agents know these rules.

Agents cannot contact you uninvited, except by mail.

Be careful requesting free information by mail or on the Internet. When you complete a form, you have given an agent permission to contact you.”

Miriam Slonkosky, of Fort Loramie, won the door prize.

Power Over Parkinson’s meets on the second Wednesday of each month at 4 p.m. It is open to people with Parkinson’s disease and their families.

Baltes addresses Kiwanis Club Jessica Baltes, community employment coordinator at S & H Products, addressed members of the Kiwanis Club of Sidney during the group’s Nov. 13 meeting.

The purpose of her position, she said, is the help prepare those with developmental disabilities for the working world.

Individuals with disabilities who wish to work in the community can take advantage of community employment services that will help them gain skills through classes and hands-on experiences.

Efforts begin with those who are 14 and older.

Baltes said, “The time to prepare is not at age 18.” Among the services provided are preparation for transition from school to work; connecting to resources, evening classes where work and life skills are taught; summer work experiences; on-thejob training and lifelong supports for employers and employees; and a job club for support and recreational activities.

Local businesses are encouraged to get involved through community bases assessments; job trails; job shadowing; business tours and summer work experience, Baltes said.

Prior to Baltes’ remarks, the invocation was given

by Ed Ball and the group was lead in song by Ralph Bornhorst, accompanied

by DiAnne Karas on the piano. Karen Tennery led the Fun & Games activities.

Nancy Deafenbaugh, Key Club coordinator at Sidney High School, introduced this year’s Key Club officers: Sara Beck, president; Bethany Erickson, vice president; Emily Dotson, secretary; and Nowal Hijazi, treasurer.

Sidney High School on Nov. 20.

Iran From page 6 in the private U.S.-Iranian talks.

The AP has learned that at least five secret meetings have occurred between top Obama administration and Iranian officials since March.

Deputy Secretary of State William Burns and Jake Sullivan, Vice President Joe Biden’s top foreign policy adviser, led each U.S. delegation.

At the most recent face-to-face talks, they were joined by chief U.S. nuclear negotiator Wendy Sherman.

It was at the final get-together that the two sides ultimately agreed on the contours of the pact signed before dawn Sunday by the so-called P5+1 group of nations and Iran, three senior administration officials told the AP. All officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they weren’t authorized to be quoted by name talking about the sensitive diplomacy.

The AP was tipped to the first U.S.-Iranian meeting in March shortly after it occurred, but the White House and State Department disputed elements of the account and the AP could not confirm the meeting. The AP learned of further indications of secret diplomacy in the fall and pressed the White House and other officials further. As the Geneva talks appeared to be reaching their conclusion, senior administration officials confirmed to the AP the details of the extensive outreach. They spoke only on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss by name the secret talks.

The Geneva deal provides Iran with about $7 billion in relief from international sanctions in exchange for Iranian curbs on uranium enrichment and other nuclear activity. All parties pledged to work toward a final accord next year that would remove remain-

ing suspicions in the West that Tehran is trying to assemble an atomic weapons arsenal.

Iran insists its nuclear interest is only in peaceful energy production and medical research. The U.S. and Israel have regularly threatened military action if they believe Iran is about to develop a nuclear weapon.

While the agreement early Sunday — late Saturday in Washington — was concluded to great fanfare and global attention, with Secretary of State John Kerry joining fellow foreign ministers in signing the deal and Obama then presenting it to the nation in a televised White House address, the path there couldn’t have been more secret.

With low expectations, mid-level American officials began in 2011 meeting their Iranian counterparts in Muscat, one of the Arab world’s most tranquil if overlooked metropolises.

The process was guided by Sultan Qaboos, Oman’s diminutive but wily monarch, who has cultivated decades of good relations with the United States and his region’s two rivals: Sunni-controlled Saudi Arabia and Shia-dominated Iran.

Qaboos had endeared himself to the Obama administration after three American hikers were arrested in 2009 for straying across Iraq’s border.

As a mediator he was able to secure their freedom over the next two years, prompting U.S. officials to wonder whether the diplomatic opportunity was worth further exploring.

Expectations were kept low for the initial U.S.-Iranian discussions. The officials skirted the big issues and focused primarily on the logistics for setting up higher-level talks. For the U.S., the big question was whether

Iran’s leaders would be willing to secretly negotiate matters of substance with a country they call the “Great Satan.”

The private talks were also a gamble for the United States, which cut off diplomatic ties with Iran in 1979 after the Islamic Revolution and the taking of 52 American hostages held for 444 days after rebels stormed the U.S. Embassy in Tehran. To this day the State Department considers Iran the biggest state supporter of terrorism in the world.

When Obama decided to send Burns and Sullivan to Oman, Iran was still being governed by the hardline President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, whose inflammatory rhetoric severely worsened the Islamic republic’s relations with the West.

Ahmadinejad’s contested re-election early in Obama’s presidency, followed by the violent Iranian crackdown on proreform protesters, had already severely tested the American leader’s inauguration pledge to reach out to America’s enemies.

The goal on the American side, the U.S. officials said, was simply to see if the U.S. and Iran could successfully arrange a process for continued bilateral talks — a low bar that underscored the sour state of relations between the two nations.

Burns and Sullivan were accompanied in Muscat by National Security Council aide Puneet Talwar and four other officials. The senior administration officials who spoke to the AP would not identify whom the delegation met with, but characterized the Iranian attendees as career diplomats, national security aides and experts on the nuclear issue who were likely to remain key players after the country’s summer elections.

100 years Nov. 25, 1913 Frederick Elsner, of Turtle Creek Township, scored the highest among the Shelby county boys in the corn contest, with a yield of 98.261 bushels to the acre.

Leo Stewart, Perry Township, was second, with 96.476 bushels and Frank W. Melvin, Salem Township, third, with 94.904 bushels.

––––– The vaudeville bunch at the Lyric last night did not come up to representation and Manager Sarver fired the aggregation, except the single song and danceman, who is okay and has a clever act. He will appear tonight with the regular picture program and the price will be 5 cents to all. If all managers would shut down on vaudeville acts of this character no doubt the public would be rid of them.

75 years Nov. 25, 1938 The matter of a traffic light in Parkwood at the intersection of Russell Road and the Dixie highway was discussed at some length at the city council meeting last evening.

Councilman Dillman pointed out that although the council as a whole was highly in favor of the installation of a traffic light at the intersection, it was unable to act due to the fact that the intersection is outside the city limits. A motion was made, however, that the state traffic board in Columbus be advised that council favored the installation of a light at the intersection as quickly as possible. The motion carried unanimously.

––––– The Sidney High School building was entered by burglars sometime last night and several of the rooms broken into.

The locks on the doors to the office of the principal, O.R. Findley; the room occupied by Miss Helen Michael, and on the door to the room where band instruments are kept were broken and the rooms entered. Nothing was reported taken except about $3.00 in cash in Miss Michael’s room.

How entry was gained into the building has not been determined.

50 years Nov. 25, 1963 WA S H I N GT O N – The soul of John Fitzgerald Kennedy was commended unto God today at a simple Roman Catholic funeral Mass attended by world leaders. Last rites for the assassinated President were conducted at St. Matthew’s Cathedral

by Richard Cardinal Cushing of Boston, the lifelong friend and pastor who performed Kennedy’s marriage ceremony and baptized his children. Kennedy’s flag draped casket was borne to the cathedral from the White House, six blocks away, by the same horse-drawn caisson that brought the remains from the Capitol. Mrs. Jacqueline Kennedy, who was at her hus-

band’s side when a sniper’s bullet cut him down Friday, followed on foot behind the caisson. Walking behind her to the mournful cadence of muffled drums were President Johnson, former Presidents Eisenhower and Truman, and foreign heads of state.

––––– Sidney and area residents joined millions throughout the nation and world today in paying final tribute to the late President John F. Kennedy. The local observance was to reach its climax with memorial services at 1 p.m. this afternoon in the First Methodist Church under the sponsorship of the Shelby County Ministerial Association. The Rev. James Tyler was to officiate at the memorial with special music planned.

––––– The flag was halfstaff today at the Shelby County jail even though it necessitated the erection of a flagpole to bring about the lowering of the colors. Lack of a flagpole had been worrying Sheriff Robert Gearhart since the President was assassinated last Friday in Dallas. Lowering of flags on all county buildings had been requested and the jail certainly fell into that category, the sheriff thought. As far back as he and his deputies could recollect, there had never been a flagpole on the Shelby County penal institution – only radio and TV antennas. Wherein came the solution. Gearhart, assisted by Deputies Cletus Magoto and Lee Slonkosky, made use of two pieces of unused antennas.

Splicing them together, the law enforcers clamped them to the iron railing at the jail entrance on the north side of the building. At the top, a pulley had been attached. Finding a rope was no problem and soon, a flag was flying in the breeze – at half-staff.

25 years Nov. 25, 1988 The Sidney Dane Company will be presenting the Nutcracker ballet next week. Cast members include Erin Lakso, Kevin Anderson, Andrew Balough, Dotreen Schrolucke, Tom Elsass and Kendra Wittenberger. There will a number of performances.

––––– The son of Sidney residents Edgar and Sally Teets has become a member of the American Academy of Family Physicians. Dr. Mark Teets completed 600 hours of study.

There are 60,000 members of the Academy nationwide. Dr. Teets graduated from Sidney High School in 1969.

Rove From page 1 2004 campaigns, he was president of Karl Rove + Company, an Austin-based public-affairs firm that worked for Republican candidates, nonpartisan causes and nonprofit groups. His clients included more than 75 Republican U.S. Senate, congressional and gubernatorial candidates in 24 states, as well as the Moderate Party of Sweden.

As a Fox News contributor, Rove provides a “genuine feel of inside knowledge,” said David Zurawik, Baltimore Sun television critic.

Megan Garber, of the Columbia Journalism Review, said Rove has “focused his punditry on what he knows best: strategy.” The New York Times said “Rove’s substantive contributions may now inspire a little work ethic among the celeb-

rity talking heads who may be forced to bring to the news a little more data and a little less opinion, a recalibration that would be welcome to its devoted viewers.”

Rove writes a weekly op-ed for the Wall Street Journal and is the author of the New York Times bestseller, “Courage and Consequence: My Life as a Conservative in the Fight.” He has written for various publications, including The Daily Beast, Financial Times, Forbes, FoxNews.com, HumanEvents. com, The Times, Washington Post and The Weekly Standard.

A Colorado native, he attended the University of Utah, the University of Maryland-College Park, George Mason University, and the University of Texas at Austin. Rove has taught graduate

students at UT Austin’s Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs and undergraduates in a joint appointment from the Journalism and Government departments at the university. He was also a faculty member at the Salzburg Seminar.

He was previously a member of the Board of International Broadcasting, which oversaw the operations of Radio Free Europe and Radio Liberty, and served on the White House Fellows regional selection panel. He was also a member of the Boards of Regents at Texas Women’s Union and East Texas State University.

Rove now serves on the University of Texas Chancellor’s Council Executive Committee and on the Board of Trustees

for the Texas Parks and Wildlife Foundation and the Texas State History Museum Foundation. He is a member of the McDonald Observatory Board of Visitors and the Texas Philosophical Society.

The Lehman High School Foundation dinner has nearly always featured a speaker. Past speakers have included Pulitzer Prize-winning editorial cartoonist Mike Peters, NBC weatherman Al Roker, U.S. Naval Academy Commandant Rear Adm. Thomas Lynch, Dodgers Manager Tommy Lasorda, retired Army Gen. Barry MaCaffrey, Archbishop of Chicago Joseph Cardinal Bernardin, Ohio State University football coach Woody Hayes, Treasurer of the United States Katherine Ortega, and of others.

Colleen Gilardi, Stacy Scott and Juli Smith, are again co-chairing the event. Tickets are $150 per person, and are available from any of the ticket captains. For those who have never attended the event, tickets may be obtained by contacting Carol Meyer at the school, 498-1161 or 937-773-8747.

The Lehman High School Foundation was chartered by the state of Ohio in 1973 to provide funds for capital improvements for the school. The foundation later assumed the oversight of funds established for student tuition assistance (the Lehman High School Scholarship Fund) and for enhanced faculty salaries.

Information about the foundation’s important work can be obtained by contacting the school.

Recognize that you might be unduly serious at times. If you are single, you are strikingly visible to the person who might be your next sweetie. This person eventually will let you know how he or she feels. If you are attached, the two of you will enjoy being out and about as a couple, especially if you’re involved in a mutual commitment or cause.

VIRGO fusses over details to such an extent that he or she loses sight of the big picture.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-Soso; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHH You’ll act as if it is your destiny to dive head first into a project in an attempt to move it forward. Try not to get frustrated at others’ lack of vision or creativity. Experiment with a different route, or communicate differently.

Tonight: Do not bring your stress home with you.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH Your imagination and drive is limitless, or so it seems. You might try to entice others to think like you. Forget it. Your uniqueness makes you special and also more in demand. A partner will want to have a serious talk with you. Tonight: No need to be serious; it is only Monday.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

HH You can’t seem to get energized about anything at the moment. If you can take the day off and relax, that might be best. Don’t take that attitude into work or even into a friendly lunch with a pal. Evaluate what is at the root of your malaise.

Tonight: Go with the flow.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Be clear and direct.

If confusion ensues, you’ll know that you have done your best! Also make it a point to confirm meeting times and places. Tread lightly with a child or new friend. This person definitely seems to be in an off mood.

Tonight: Catch up on calls and emails.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH You could give some troublesome issues power if you focus too much on them. Be as clear as possible.

Bone up on your listening skills, and repeat anything that seems off. Tonight: Free yourself from a difficult situation by dealing directly with the other parties involved.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH A sudden surge greets you in the morning with your first cup of joe. You might feel as if others are speaking pig latin, as they don’t seem to understand what you’re saying. You might want to stop and decipher what could be an important message. Tonight: A longoverdue chat.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HH No one needs to tell you that it’s Monday -- you know by

the way you feel. Stay out of the problems around you; instead, focus on accomplishing one task after another. It might be necessary to have a longoverdue conversation about your finances. Tonight: Play it low-key.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHH You come off as very serious to those around you.

Approach each moment as new and maintain a methodical approach. If a situation seems ludicrous, know that it probably is. Maintaining your distance will work well. Tonight: Call a friend and catch up on his or her news.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHH Your ability to get through a hassle elevates your value to a higher-up.

Once more, this person might dump a problem on you. Confusion could surround a personal issue as well. Do what you must, but remember to take care of yourself, too. Tonight: Attend to personal matters.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Keep reaching out for a new solution. It is out there for you to find; you just haven’t hit upon it yet. Detach and refuse to feel pushed. Back away from a pressure-cooker atmosphere, and much more will reveal itself. A meeting demands your presence.

Tonight: Find your friends.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH A loved one might mean well, but you will have a difficult time believing that when you see what is going on behind the scenes. Take a step

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Your intentions are good, but your actions just might create more of a fog around an already unclear situation. Make a point to detach, and you’ll gain a new perspective. The end result will be better if you do. Tonight: Get through some paperwork you’ve been avoiding.

State/Nation/World Today in History The Associated Press

Today is Monday, Nov. 25, the 329th day of 2013. There are 36 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Nov. 25, 1963, the body of President John F. Kennedy was laid to rest at Arlington National Cemetery; his widow, first lady Jacqueline Kennedy, lighted an “eternal flame” at the gravesite.

On this date: In 1783, the British evacuated New York, their last military position in the United States during the Revolutionary War. In 1908, the first issue of The Christian Science Monitor was published.

In 1940, the cartoon character Woody Woodpecker made his debut in the animated short “Knock Knock.”

In 1952, the play “The Mousetrap,” a murder mystery

by Agatha Christie, first opened in London’s West End; it is the longest continuously running show in history.

In 1957, President Dwight D. Eisenhower suffered a slight stroke.

In 1973, Greek President George Papadopoulos was ousted in a bloodless military coup.

In 1980, Sugar Ray Leonard regained the World Boxing Council welterweight championship when Roberto Duran abruptly quit in the eighth round at the Louisiana Superdome.

In 1986, the Iran-Contra affair erupted as President Ronald Reagan and Attorney General Edwin Meese revealed that profits from secret arms sales to Iran had been diverted to Nicaraguan rebels.

In 1999, five-year-old Elian Gonzalez was rescued by a pair of sport fishermen off the coast of Florida, setting off an international custody battle.

In 2001, as the war in Afghanistan entered its eighth week, CIA officer Johnny “Mike” Spann was killed during a prison uprising in Mazar-e-Sharif, becoming America’s first combat casualty of the conflict.

In 2002, President George W. Bush signed legislation creating the Department of Homeland Security and appointed Tom Ridge to be its head.

Ten years ago: The Senate gave final congressional approval to historic Medicare legislation combining a new prescription drug benefit with measures to control costs before the baby boom generation reaches retirement age. Yemen arrested Mohammed Hamdi al-Ahdal, a top al-Qaida member suspected of masterminding the 2000 bombing of the USS Cole and the 2002 bombing of a French oil tanker off Yemen’s coast.

(Al-Ahdal was later sentenced to three years for the French tanker attack, but was not charged in the Cole case.)

Out of the Blue

Christmas tree is ‘alive’ with children BANGKOK (AP) — Christmas is not a holiday in predominantly Buddhist Thailand, and its palm trees outnumber pines, but the country still set a world record with its holiday spirit.

One of the country’s largest shopping malls arranged a publicity stunt involving 852 schoolchildren dressed in green and red hoodies to break the Guinness World Record for the largest human Christmas tree.

They outdid a German record of 672 participants in 2011.

To the relief of parents, and the chagrin of a few teenagers, the children were not hoisted onto a human pyramid shaped like a conifer.

It was more an exercise in crowd control, grouping the assembled 6- to 15-year-olds into a tree-like formation on the ground.

“I kind of thought we’d get to stand on each other’s shoulders,” said 13-year-old Nattakit Liewkulnattana. Like most participants at the event, he doesn’t celebrate Christmas. He wasn’t sure whose birthday the holiday marks (“Santa Claus?”) but was excited to take part in a world record, and maybe get something in return.

“I want presents!” the teen said. All participants got to keep their hoodies.

The record was set in 15 minutes, 29 seconds.

Guinness representative Fortuna Burke certified the feat, counting on a clicker as children filed onto an outdoor verandah at Siam Paragon mall, the event’s organizer. Once in place, the children waved as a drone flew overhead to capture aerial images.

Iran deal leaves Israel few options Josef Federman Associated Press

JERUSALEM (AP) — After feverishly trying to derail the international community’s nuclear deal with Iran in recent weeks, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu now has little choice but to accept an agreement that he has derided as deeply flawed.

Netanyahu believes the six-month deal leaves Iran’s military nuclear capabilities largely intact, while giving Iran relief from painful economic sanctions, undermining negotiations on the next stage. At the same time, Israel’s strongest piece of leverage, the threat of a military strike on Iran, seems to be out of the question despite Netanyahu’s insistence it would remain on the table.

“Today the world became a much more dangerous place because the most dangerous regime in the world made a significant step in obtaining the most dangerous weapons in the world,” Netanyahu told his Cabinet on Sunday, calling the deal a

“historic mistake.”

He said Israel was not bound by the agreement, and reiterated Israel’s right to “defend itself by itself,” a veiled reference to a possible military strike against Iran.

Netanyahu has spent years warning the world against the dangers of a nuclear-armed Iran, calling it an existential threat due to Iranian references to Israel’s destruction, its support of hostile militant groups on Israel’s borders and its development of missiles capable of reaching Israel and beyond.

Israel also believes that a nuclear-armed Iran will provide militant groups like Lebanon’s Hezbollah an “umbrella” of protection that will embolden them to carry out attacks.

As momentum for a deal built the past week, Netanyahu delivered speech after speech and held meeting after meeting, urging the world to seek better terms from Iran. Last week, he hosted French President Francois Hollande, then rushed off to Moscow for talks with President Vladimir Putin

Abir Sultan, Pool | AP

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu chairs the weekly cabinet meeting at his office in Jerusalem, Israel, Sunday. After feverishly trying to derail the international community’s nuclear deal with Iran in recent weeks, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu now has little choice but to accept an agreement that he has derided as deeply flawed.

in a last-ditch attempt to alter the agreement.

Netanyahu had said that any deal must ensure that Iran’s enriching of uranium — a key step toward making a nuclear bomb — must end. He also said all enriched material should be removed from

the Islamic Republic, and called for the demolition of a plutonium reactor under construction.

But after the deal was announced, it was clear that Netanyahu made little headway. While freezing parts of Iran’s enrichment capabilities, it will leave

others, including the centrifuges that are used for enrichment, intact. The deal relies heavily on Iranian goodwill, a stillto-be-defined system of international inspections and the continued pain of sanctions that remain in place.

Storm threatens holiday travel Ramit Plushnick-Masti Associated Press

A large storm already blamed for at least eight deaths in the West slogged through Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico and other parts of the southwest Sunday as it slowly churned east ahead of Thanksgiving.

After the storm plows through the southwest, meteorologists expect the Arctic mass to head south and east, threatening plans for Tuesday and Wednesday as people hit the roads and airports for some of the busiest travel days of the year. Already, flight delays were expected at DallasFort Worth International Airport, and a spokeswoman said deicing equipment was being prepared as officials planned for the worst in a flurry of conference calls and meetings.

“It’s certainly going to be a travel impact as we see the first few people making their way for Thanksgiving,” National Weather Service meteorologist Tom Bradshaw said.

The National Weather Service

has issued a winter storm warning for chunks of North Texas from noon Sunday until midday Monday. Parts of Oklahoma are also under a winter storm warning, while an advisory has been issued for other parts of the state.

A mix of rain and sleet began falling north of Dallas on Interstate 35 by midday Sunday, and areas of southwestern Oklahoma woke up to several inches of snow.

Several inches of snow fell overnight in Altus in far southwestern Oklahoma, said Damaris Machabo, a receptionist at a Holiday Inn motel.

“It looks great. I love the snow,” Machabo said. The snow and freezing temperatures made driving in the area treacherous, but Machabo said she had no problems getting to work early Sunday.

Forecasts called for more snow in the area later in the day.

Portions of New Mexico — especially in some of the higher elevations — also had several inches of snow, and near white out conditions were reported along stretches of Interstate 40 west of Albuquerque.

Then along the New MexicoTexas border, into the El Paso area, a mix of snow, sleet and ice forced some road closures and created messy driving conditions.

Flagstaff in Arizona had 11 inches of snow by early Sunday, and was expected to get another inch by the end of the day before the storm petered out. Metro Phoenix and other parts of central Arizona received between 1 ½ to 2 ½ inches of rain over the course of the storm. The storms caused cancellations of sporting events and parades and damaged the roofs of homes across Arizona.

In Tucson, firefighters on Friday recovered the body of a man who was swept away by high water in the Santa Cruz River.

By early Sunday, the weather was blamed for at least eight deaths in several fatal traffic accidents. The storm also caused hundreds of rollover accidents, including one that injured three members of singer Willie Nelson’s band when their bus hit a pillar on Interstate 30 near Sulphur Springs, about 75 miles northeast of Dallas. In Arizona, when 8,000

cyclists participated in a rainy biking race, one cyclist died in a collision with a vehicle.

Dallas prepared for the storm by declaring “Ice Force Level 1,” code for sending 30 sanding trucks to trouble shoot hazardous road conditions.

At Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport, spokeswoman Cynthia Vega said American Airlines and American Eagle were planning to delay or cancel flights as the day progressed. The possibility of ice on the runways led to a series of conference calls and meetings early Sunday, she added, noting the airport had liquid and solid deicers ready for use.

The storm system, though, was particularly hard to predict because a couple of degrees here or there with the temperature will determine whether regions see rain, sleet or snow, Bradshaw said.

“It’s very difficult to pin those down,” Bradshaw said. “It’s slow moving and it’s sort of bringing its energy out in pieces so it’s kind of hard to time these as they come across with a great deal of accuracy.”

2 Ohio students among 32 US Rhodes Scholars Amanda Lee Myers Associated Press

CINCINNATI (AP) — When Ohio’s two new Rhodes scholars heard their names called during a live announcement of winners, they looked at each other in disbelief. One of them thought she was hallucinating, the other had to ask: “They called my name, right?”

Courtney Wittekind, of Mason in southwestern Ohio, and Adam Mastroianni, of Monroeville in northern Ohio, are among 32 college students nationwide to win the prestigious scholarships, announced Sunday, and will enter England’s Oxford University next October.

“We actually had the

same reaction, which was, ‘Is this actually happening,’” Wittekind said in an interview on Sunday from her family’s home in Mason.

She, Mastroianni and a handful of other hopefuls from Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky learned Saturday whether they’d won or lost after final interviews were held in Indianapolis — a process that Wittekind described as slightly awkward for those who didn’t win and surreal for the ones who did.

“The first thing that went through my head was, ‘Did I make that up?’ Maybe I’m hallucinating or dreaming,’” she said.

Then Mastroianni turned to her to doublecheck that he had just heard his name, she said.

Wittekind, 23, graduated last year with an anthropology degree from Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh.

She has been working full-time as an intern at the Brookings Institution in Washington on a project involving natural disasters, conflict and the conflict-induced displacement of people.

Wittekind wants to continue studying anthropology in Oxford, focusing on conflict resolution, political transition and how that plays into displacement in Myanmar.

Wittekind said she was inspired to get into the field after she lived in Thailand in 2009 with a Burmese refugee family who would help incoming refugees navigate their new lives. She

said her ultimate goal is to give a voice to those refugees.

“There are a lot of people in these communities who are dispossessed or povertystricken, but people in these communities have their own solutions and their own ideas about how their suffering can be best relieved, and I think quite often their voices don’t get heard,” she said.

Wittekind graduated from Mason High School. Her mother is a school nurse and her father owns his own business selling large cutting tools.

Mastroianni, 22, is a senior studying social psychology at Princeton University in New Jersey.

Mastroianni and

Wittekind were selected from 857 applicants endorsed by 327 colleges and universities.

Rhodes scholarships provide all expenses for two or three years of study at Oxford. The value of the scholarships averages about $50,000 a year.

Rhodes Scholarships were created in 1902 by the will of British philanthropist Cecil Rhodes.

Winners are selected on the basis of high academic achievement, personal integrity, and leadership potential, among other attributes.

The American students will join an international group of scholars selected from 14 other jurisdictions around the world. Approximately 80 scholars are selected annually.

Americans not willing to spend without deals Anne D’innocenzio AP Retail Writer

NEW YORK (AP) — This holiday season, Americans may not spend their green unless they see more red.

Despite signs that the economy is improving, big store chains like Wal-Mart and Kohl’s don’t expect Americans to have much holiday shopping cheer unless they see bold, red signs that offer huge discounts.

As a result, shoppers are seeing big sales events earlier and more often than in pre-

vious holiday seasons.

Retailers are trying to lure shoppers like Marissa Anwar, who has been doing more bargain hunting compared with last year.

The operations consultant, who lives in Toronto and New York City, said the economy “hasn’t been great” and she’s lost clients.

As a result, she cut her shopping budget to $2,800 from last year’s $4,000.

“I was a former ‘spend-aholic,”’said Anwar, 29. “Now, I want to make sure I have the money before I spend it.”

It’s a problem that retailers know all too well. Since the recession began in late 2007, stores have had to offer financially-strapped Americans ever bigger price cuts just to get them into stores. But those discounts eat away at profits.

So far, Wal-Mart, Target and Kohl’s are among more than two dozen major chains that lowered their profit outlooks for either the quarter or the year.

A big reason is the expectation that they’ll have to offer huge discounts in order to get shoppers to spend.

Shoppers riding an escalator, approach Old Navy store at Atlantic Terminal Mall on Saturday in New York.

Despite signs that the economy is improving, big store chains like Wal-Mart and Kohls’ don’t expect Americans to have much holiday shopping cheer unless they see bold, red signs that offer huge discounts.

Ohio State won 42-14. and Forisse Hardin during the second quarter Saturday in Columbus.

Bucks get record-setting 23rd in a row Win clinches first appearance in Big Ten championship game Jim Naveau

jnaveau@limanews.com

COLUMBUS — First they put their footprints on the thin blanket of snow on the artificial turf at Ohio Stadium.

Then they left their mark on OSU’s football program.

With a 42-14 win over Indiana on Saturday, Ohio State (11-0, 7-0 Big Ten) established the school record for most consecutive football wins at 23.

Win No. 23 meant they surpassed the old streak of 22 in a row they shared with the Ohio State teams of 1967-69. That streak began in November 1967, continued through the national championship season of 1968 and ended in the epic 1969 Michigan game.

Outdoing that streak left footprints that will last much longer than

those in the snow on the field.

“Ohio State is going to be Ohio State forever. Ohio State has been playing football since 1890-something. Just to have people look back and know that this team holds the longest winning streak and to know I was part of that team is going to be really special for me,” senior offensive tackle Jack Mewhort said.

“I don’t think it has really sunk in yet. It’s a great day for us,” he said.

Running back Carlos Hyde looked at the streak from a historical perspective, too, and said, “That’s huge. Ohio State has been here for years.

To be the first team to have this long a winning streak, that’s huge.”

The outcome and the establishing of a new benchmark for consecutive wins were never in doubt.

Ohio State jumped out to a 28-0 halftime lead and added on two more second-half touchdowns to go up 42-0 before Indiana got two scores in the final 5:59 of the game.

Quarterback Braxton Miller rushed for 144 yards and two touchdowns and completed 11 of 17 passes for 160 yards and two more TDs. Hyde became the first running back to go over 1,000 yards in a season on an Urban Meyercoached team. He needed 53 yards and got 117 on 18 carries. It was the sixth game in a row over 100 yards for the 230pound senior.

Hyde’s 1,000 yards came in eight games.

He was suspended for OSU’s first three games after being involved in a dispute with a woman in a Columbus nightclub last summer.

“During my suspen-

sion I told myself it was still possible,” Hyde said. “I told myself, ‘You just have to go harder now.’ ”

Ohio State clinched its first trip to the Big Ten championship game against Michigan State on Dec. 7 in Indianapolis with the win. It was 6-7 in 2011, the first year for the championship game, and was ineligible for postseason play last year when it went 12-0.

Meyer called consistency the key to winning 23 games in a row.

“Every once in a while, you take a peek at the scoreboard and you see scores, you see what happened there.

And for this team to do it 23 times in a row, that’s an incredible testimony first of all to the players,” he said.

“We kind of talked around that thing like a team going through a no-hitter,” he said, with

a smile.

Indiana (4-7, 2-5 Big Ten) came into the game second behind Ohio State in the Big Ten in scoring and last in defense.

The Hoosiers showed some offensive skills, rolling up 442 yards of total offense, but those yards didn’t produce any significant points.

And while IU’s defense wasn’t shredded as badly as it was in a 51-3 loss to Wisconsin a week earlier, it allowed touchdowns the first two times Ohio State had the ball, setting a tone for the game.

Miller brought some excitement – and a little fear – to Ohio State fans with two touchdown runs in the first half that both ended with him diving headfirst into the end zone.

The first came on a 37-yard run on which Miller somersaulted across the goal line.

On the second, a 5-yard run, he lined up as a receiver, took a pitch from Kenny Guiton, hurdled Indiana’s Tim Bennett and landed on his head in the end zone.

“I was just having a little fun,” Miller said.

He said this was the first time he had played without a knee brace since spraining a knee ligament against San Diego State, which allowed him to run freely.

Meyer said, “He’s a great athlete. I’d rather he not do that, but he’s got to do what he’s got to do. He played really well today.”

Ohio State will dive into a game against its biggest rival, Michigan, this Saturday in Michigan Stadium.

The Wolverines dropped to 7-4 overall and 3-4 in the Big Ten after a 24-21 loss to Iowa on Saturday.

Buckeyes still in the race Well, that thought of Baylor leapfrogging Ohio State for the third spot in the BCS rankings over the weekend disappeared quickly after the Bears were shocked by Oklahoma State.

The Buckeyes tossed aside visiting Indiana 42-14, notching a school-record 23 consecutive victories, a spot in the Big Ten Championship game, and a rivalry game on the horizon. How about a shot at a National Championship? Stay tuned on that one.

Miller, who missed nearly three full games early in the year because of a knee injury, was taken out of the Heisman discussion early. The Buckeye signal caller continues to play well and on Saturday had a pair of amazing jumps into the endzone for touchdowns.

He finished with 144 yards on 13 carries and was 11 of 17 passing.

Carlos Hyde became Urban Meyer’s first-ever running back to top 1,000 yards. The senior ran for 117 yards and

two TDs on 18 carries on Saturday and now has 1,064 yards on the season. Hyde needed just eight games to top the mark after being suspended for the first three games of the season. “During my suspension, I told myself it’s still possible, you just have to go harder,” Hyde said. “That’s exactly how I play. My mindset is I have to make up time,” said Hyde.

While no Buckeye names are being kicked around during the Heisman hardware chatter, it certainly would be interesting to see how high on the list Miller or Hyde would be if they played a full season.

Couple players react to Peralta’s signing Associated Press

Free agent shortstop Jhonny Peralta and the St. Louis Cardinals have agreed on a four-year contract, giving the All-Star a fresh start after his Biogenesis drug suspension last summer.

The Cardinals filled

a need by getting a tophitting shortstop a month after losing the World Series in six games to Boston. Pete Kozma and Daniel Descalso, while generally good fielders, are light hitters.

The deal was expected to be worth more than $50 million.

“We are pleased to announce that Jhonny has agreed to terms and I know he is equally excited to be joining the Cardinals,” general manager John Mozeliak said in a statement. “Jhonny is among the game’s top offensive shortstops, he’s a steady defender and he has experi-

ence playing for a contender. He gives us proven veteran experience and brings balance and versatility to our everyday lineup. “ But the move drew a different reaction from a couple other big leaguers.

“It pays to cheat…

Thanks, owners, for encouraging PED use,”

Arizona pitcher Brad Ziegler tweeted.

“Apparently getting suspended for PED’s means you get a raise.

What’s stopping anyone from doing it? (hashtag) weneedtomakeachange,” free agent pitcher David Aardsma tweeted.

The 31-year-old Peralta

was suspended 50 games last season as a result of Major League Baseball’s investigation in the Biogenesis case involving performance-enhancing drugs. He returned to the Detroit Tigers in late September and played in the postseason, both in left field and at shortstop.

Borchers runs to All-American honors Rob Kiser Civitas Media

TERRA HAUTE, Ind. — Katie Borchers can’t deny that distance running has taken her on an amazing journey.

And she has to laugh when she thinks back to her freshman year at Russia High School when she wasn’t even sure she was going to run cross country.

On Saturday, on the Indiana State University campus, the Ohio State junior became the first Lady Buckeye to earn All-American honors in the sport.

With a top 40 finish required for the honor, Borchers finished 40th in 20:46.0 in the 6K race.

“Who’d have thunk it,” Borchers said with a laugh about that high school freshman going on to be Ohio State’s first All-American in the sport. “You know, I had set it (All-American) as a goal for the race. I’m not sure I really believed it. I know my coach (Sarah Vergote) believed in me, but I’m not sure I really thought I would do it.”

And you might think the less-than-ideal course conditions would have discouraged Russia graduate Katie Borchers runs for Ohio State this season in cross country. On Saturday, she Borchers, but it was just the opposite. placed 40th in thenationals to earn All-American status.

“It wasn’t the best condi-

tions,” Borchers said. “It was cold and muddy. But for some reason, that really made me feel like I had an advantage.

It’s hard to explain, but I knew some of the runners from southern schools probably hadn’t run in those conditions and I had.”

And Borchers went out and did exactly what her coach expected.

“I couldn’t be more proud of Katie (Borchers) and the season she has had,” Vergote said. “To be Ohio State’ first female All-American in cross country is a tremendous accomplishment. Today’s race conditions were some of the toughest I have seen with both the temperature and extremely muddy conditions.

Katie put herself near the front of the race and fought the entire time.”

As the race went on and to the very end, Borchers knew she was right on the edge of her goal.

“I knew I was somewhere close to 40,” Borchers said.

“I could hear the coaches of all the runners around me yelling them and encouraging them to be in the top forty and I could hear my coach yelling. There was no way to be sure exactly where I was.

There were so many runners bunched together at the end.

I was just going as hard as

I could and going to get as many girls as I could.”

When the race ended, she learned she had achieved her goal on the number.

Borchers said she wasn’t thinking about just her personal accomplishment.

“I was thinking about the program (Ohio State) and what we had been able to accomplish this year,” she said. “And that being AllAmerican made this a really good year.”

It has been an amazing three-race run for Borchers, who along with teammate Michelle Thomas, became Ohio State’s third and fourth All-Big ten runners when she finished sixth at that meet.

“We are trying to build a program here (at Ohio State),” Borchers said. “I knew I could make All-Big Ten, but I never expected to finish sixth. That was a really big deal. I think it did gsve me confidence to go out and do what I did at regionals and nationals.”

Borchers will take a short time off now, before heading into indoor track.

She has already heard from a number of Russia supporters since the race.

“They have always been so supportive,” she said. “Social media is a good thing.”

However, she didn’t get much help offensively as no other Lady Jet managed more than five points.

Sidney made it two in a row to start the season, with a 49-32 win over crosstown rival Lehman in high school girls basketball action Saturday night at Lehman.

The Lady Jackets are off until Dec. 4, when they travel to Beavercreek.

Lehman lost for the second time in as many nights and will return to action Saturday at home against a strong New Knoxville team.

The Lady Cavs hung with Sidney for a half, trailing just 23-19 at the break.

But Sidney outscored them 17-4 in the third quarter to Hudson blow the game open at 40-23.

“We controlled the game from the start, but I was worried about how our legs would be after playing a tough Russia team Friday,” said Sidney coach Megan Mummey. “We were able to execute when we needed to and still apply full-court pressure.”

Sylvia Hudson and Kaitlyn Davis were a lethal one-two punch for the Lady Jackets.

Hudson had 21 points with big first and third quarters, and Davis finished with 15.

“Sylvia did a great job of taking her man one-on-one and finishing inside on second shots,” said Mummey.

“She also did a much better job of staying out of foul trouble. Kaitlyn has really stepped up and made an impact offensively for us.”

She also credited Miaya Foy for her defensive pressure at the point. “Her energy is what gave us a spark in the third quarter,” Mummey said.

Sidney ended up 18-for-30 from the free throw line, and all its points in the fourth quarter came from there, on 9-for-17.

Lehman had two players in double figures but only three dented the scoring column. Julia Harrelson had 15 and Ava Schmitz 13.

Browns no match for Steelers 27-11 CLEVELAND (AP) — Their horrendous start has long been forgotten, erased with an equally unexpected turnaround.

The Steelers are in contention, right back where they belong. The playoffs are possible.

Ben Roethlisberger threw touchdown passes to Antonio Brown and Emmanuel Sanders and beat Cleveland for the 16th time as Pittsburgh, which opened the season with four straight losses, pushed deeper into the postseason picture with a 27-11 win over the Browns on Sunday.

The Steelers (5-6) have climbed back with a onegame-at-a-time philosophy that they’re not about to abandon.

“I’m not looking around,” Roethlisberger said, quickly dismissing any postseason speculation. “It’s all about focus. This game is over now.

That’s all we can control.”

Roethlisberger connected on a 41-yard TD pass to Brown in the first half, and hit Sanders on a 4-yarder in the third quarter for the Steelers,

who only have a few days to get ready for a Thanksgiving game at Baltimore — a matchup that didn’t look as if it would be very meaningful a few weeks back.

Roethlisberger finished 22 of 34 for 217 yards and improved to 16-1 against the Browns (4-7), who have lost five of six and seen a promising season turn into yet another miserable one.

An Ohio native, Roethlisberger relishes beating a team from his home state.

“It’s homecoming, you know, a home game,” he said.

“So it does feel good.”

The Browns (4-7) lost starting quarterback Jason Campbell to a concussion in the third quarter when he was sacked by cornerback William Gay. Campbell was struck in the helmet by Gay and his head snapped back and banged the turf. He spent several moments flat on his back in the middle of the field, a symbolic moment for the Browns, who were smashed again by their AFC North rival.
