Today is Friday, Nov. 29, the 333rd day of 2013. There are 32 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Nov. 29, 1961, Enos the chimp was launched from Cape Canaveral aboard the MercuryAtlas 5 spacecraft, which orbited earth twice before returning. On this date: In 1864, a Colorado militia killed at least 150 peaceful Cheyenne Indians in the Sand Creek Massacre. In 1924, Italian composer Giacomo Puccini died in Brussels before he could complete his opera “Turandot.” (It was finished by Franco Alfano.) In 1929, Navy Lt. Cmdr. Richard E. Byrd, pilot Bernt Balchen, radio operator Harold June and photographer Ashley McKinney made the first airplane flight over the South Pole. In 1947, the U.N. General Assembly passed a resolution calling for the partitioning of Palestine between Arabs and Jews. In 1952, President-elect Dwight D. Eisenhower secretly left on a trip to Korea, keeping his campaign promise to assess the ongoing conflict first-hand. In 1972, the coin-operated video arcade game Pong, created by Atari, made its debut at Andy Capp’s Tavern in Sunnyvale, Calif. In 1981, actress Natalie Wood drowned in a boating accident off Santa Catalina Island, Calif., at age 43. In 1986, actor Cary Grant died in Davenport, Iowa, at age 82. In 1987, a Korean Air 707 jetliner en route from Abu Dhabi to Bangkok was destroyed by a bomb planted by North Korean agents with the loss of all 115 people aboard. In 1989, in response to a growing pro-democracy movement in Czechoslovakia, the Communist-run Parliament ended the party’s 40-year monopoly on power. In 2001, George Harrison, the “quiet Beatle,” died in Los Angeles following a battle with cancer; he was 58. Ten years ago: Gunmen in Iraq ambushed and killed two Japanese diplomats; seven members of Spain’s military intelligence agency were killed in Mahmudiyah. Thirty-three people were killed in the crash of a military plane in Congo. Five years ago: Indian commandos killed the last remaining gunmen holed up at a luxury Mumbai hotel, ending a 60-hour rampage through India’s financial capital by suspected Pakistani-based militants that killed 166 people. Architect Joern Utzon, who designed the iconic Sydney Opera House in Sydney, Australia, died at age 90. One year ago: The United Nations voted overwhelmingly to recognize a Palestinian state, a vote that came exactly 65 years after the General Assembly voted to divide Palestine into separate states for Jews and Arabs. President Barack Obama had lunch with defeated Republican nominee Mitt Romney in the White House’s private dining room; the White House says they discussed America’s leadership in the world.

COLUMBUS — The Ohio Department of Health has released the second draft of proposed sewage rule changes for 2014, along with an overview to help people better understand what to expect. The fact sheet starts out warning Ohio residents not to “let rumors lead you into expensive repairs and unnecessary sewage system replacements.” The new sewage rules will not require every resident of Ohio to automatically replace their current systems. New sewage rules are going into place for several reasons, including the fact that they haven’t been updated since 1977, and while some counties have modernized their own rules, the new rules will set a minimum standard for all counties that is

The most important thing to note, Fugitt stated, is that if a homeowner’s system is working properly and not creating a public health nuisance, is not missing parts, or creating a backup in the home, it is deemed a working system, so until someone makes a complaint, and the system is tested, the system will not need to be replaced. A failing system also does not automatically mean that the entire system needs to be replaced, Fugitt noted; it could indicate that

in Meigs County. Rates declined in 74 of the 88 counties statewide. The comparable rate for Ohio was 7.0 in October. Six counties had unemployment rates below 5.5 percent in October. The counties with the lowest rates, other than Mercer, were Holmes, 4.7 percent; Geauga, 5.0; Auglaize, 5.1; and Delaware and Union, 5.2. Meanwhile, five counties had unemployment rates above 10 percent in October. The counties with the highest rates, other than Meigs, were Pike, 11.9 percent; Monroe, 11.6; Scioto, 11.2; and

missing or broken parts may need to be replaced, or that an additional treatment system may be needed. It should be noted, though, that replacement parts should be made by the same manufacturer, Fugitt added. “The new rules are going to bring statewide standards to 2014,” Fugitt commented. “Septic systems will eventually fail; they have a design life just like anything else. … The new rules just give homeowners tools and options for what they can do.” Most septic systems are designed to last 20-30 years, assuming proper maintenance, Fugitt said, comparing it to a roof on a house; people know they’re going to need to replace their roof, she said, and just like they save to do that, they need to consider that for their septic system. Information from the Ohio Department of Health indicates that improper maintenance of systems is the most common reason for system failure, and the new

rules will bring common-sense measures into the rules, expecting that homeowners should be responsible for the operations and maintenance of their septic system. Those who worry about how they’ll be able to afford replacing a septic system when the time comes, are assured that there are assistance programs available to those who qualify, including Community Development Block Grants, Community Housing Improvement Program, and Rural Housing and Rural Utilities Programs. Contact the local health department for more information. More information can be found at w w w. o d h .O h i o . go v / H o m e S e w a g e Ru l e s , or by contacting the Ohio Department of Health. The new rules will be open for comment until Dec. 12 at w w w. o d h . o h i o . g o v / r u l e s /d r a f t s /d r a f t s . aspx. Those without access to Internet may request a copy of the rules from the Ohio Department of Health.

believe that disbanding the police department is the right thing to do and we had a petition drive to show the village council how we feel … when we had a Shelby County Fire Department, the residents of Anna would never have voted to get rid of our local fire department. Chief (Anna Fire Chief Tim) Bender and his staff do a great job … we would never want to take that away.” “We want to make it very clear this has nothing to do with the (Shelby County) Sheriff’s Department. They do a great job and we appreciate everything they do. The residents want a local police department, locally managed and run and they spoke loudly and clear with this petition,” Stiefel said. Council voted to table

the ordinance during the meeting, with council member Kurt Ehemann abstaining. Following the meeting, Ehemann said, “you should see the emails I got” which resulted because he is married to a Shelby County Commissioner. “I think the petition did what the people wanted it to do,” but Ehemann added, “time will tell.” Council President Richard Eshleman said he is forming a committee to look at the problems at the Anna Police Department and reportedly two Sidney Police officers are going to serve on the committee. Anderson told the crowd, “as far as I know, until a further date, we’ll stay like we are” and said he needed to do a “better job” of keeping an eye on the police department. “I

think we can get along a lot better.” When a resident asked Anderson what he meant by a further date, he said, “We’re going to have to discuss” that. He said the matter would be tabled “until such a time as it’s not tabled.” The Shelby County Sheriff’s Office taking over law enforcement duties would have potentially saved the village money and would have allowed village residents to have the resources of the Sheriff’s office available at any time. Prior to Tuesday’s decision, Shelby County Sheriff John Lenhart promised that regardless of the council’s decision his office would continue to work with the village to provide whatever help is necessary.

In addition to her two daughters, Metzler’s husband also takes part, and this year they were encouraging friends to participate. Metzler said they hoped to get eight others. Will she be at next year’s Turkey Trot? “Oh, yes, absolutely,” Metzler said. Janet Martin and her husband, David, are Turkey Trot veterans. “We’ve probably done

They aren’t members of the church; event organizer Sarah Steenrod is a friend of hers. “We also run on our own,” she said. “That’s how we heard about it, too.” “It’s just a good way to start the morning,” Martin said. “It’s just nice because we know there is a need in the community. … It’s just something fun to do Thanksgiving morning.” Martin said her daughter and some of Martin’s siblings and their families

have been taking part in the Turkey Trot, also. It’s usually cold for the event, but otherwise, the weather has been OK over the past few years. “I don’t think we’ve ever had bad weather,” she said. One year there had been a lot of rain, so the route had to be changed because of standing water in Tawawa Park, she remembered. The Martins plan to continue running in future Turkey Trots. “You just like to be able to help,” she said.

Council From page 1A formed following the town hall meeting, with emails and notices being sent to all Anna residents asking them to support the petition and asking all residents to attend the meeting. Craig Stiefel, an Anna resident, who spearheaded the committee, presented council with a petition with 511 votes, more than half of the 803 registered voters in Anna, requesting that the Anna Police Department not be disbanded. Reportedly, Mayor Robert Anderson signed the petition, which raised questions from some regarding whether he was eligible to sign such a petition in his position as mayor. Stiefel spoke Tuesday evening and told council members, “The residents of this community do not

“I saw an advertisement for it at a local restaurant and decided to run,” said Metzler, who runs yearround for exercise. “The Turkey Trot is a great time. … You get to help other people. … It’s also a great way to exercise before you sit down and eat all that turkey,” she said. “I actually take my kids with me and they run and walk with me,” she said. The route includes Tawawa Park. “It’s beautiful there.” Runners gather in the parking lot behind the

a 19-year-old young man who had brain cancer. And it came out in conversation that he had never received a gift — not for his birthday, not for Christmas, nothing,” Alloway said. “So Doug (Metcalfe, executive director of SafeHaven) asked him what he wanted. And it was some movie, nothing major. Doug saw that the young man got that movie. It was the first gift he had ever received in his life, and the first time anyone had ever asked him what he wanted.” To Grandmother’s House We Go When extended families get together for the holidays, unfamiliar dynamics and settings can present themselves as opportunities or temptations for drug and alcohol abuse. “Maybe somebody visiting Grandma goes into the bathroom and decides to check out the medicine cabinet,” Alloway said. Abuse of prescription pain medications is one of the fastest growing drug problems, and it’s directly connected to the explosion of heroin spreading throughout Miami, Darke and Shelby counties. Prescription opiate abuse takes several forms. Someone with a legitimate prescription for pain may take more than the prescribed dose; someone may use prescription medications intended for another person; or individuals may “doctor shop” to secure multiple pain medicine prescriptions. Prescription pain medication abuse is connected to heroin use, said Mark McDaniel, executive director of the Tri-County Board of Recovery and Mental

Health Services, based in Troy. The Tri-County Board plans, funds, monitors and evaluates mental health and recovery services in Miami, Darke and Shelby counties. “Prescription painkillers like Percocet and Vicodin have value on the street. Young people are looking for and finding these drugs in their relatives’ or neighbors’ medicine cabinets and stealing them to either use or sell on the street,” McDaniel said. “But as controls on prescription opioids get stricter, people already addicted to opiate drugs are turning to heroin. It’s available and it’s cheap.” Alloway has seen the same thing at SafeHaven. “People are self-medicating,” Alloway said. “If you don’t have insurance, it can be cheaper to buy heroin on the street than to fill a prescription. And it’s everywhere — even out in the small towns.” McDaniel suggests that families hosting gatherings in homes, where there may be prescription painkillers, secure medications in a safe place, out of sight. “Families can use drug drop-off boxes for any unused and unneeded pills,” McDaniel said. “It would be a good idea to scan your old prescription meds to see if any should be securely disposed of.” In Shelby County, the drop box is located at the Sheriff ’s Office on Gearhart Road. The Ohio Attorney General’s website lists prescription drug drop box locations for locations throughout Ohio.

100 years Nov. 29, 1913 Frank S. Foster, representative of the Wagner Park Nurseries Co., has returned from Washington, Indiana where he has completed a large landscape planting on the D.M. Kelley estate. ––––– The first gun of the campaign instituted by the dry forces of the city to make Sidney dry was fired at the high school auditorium last evening before a large audience. Most of those in attendance were men, although there were a few women sitting about the audience. The speaker for the evening was Sam Small, of Atlanta, Ga., well known lecturer, editor and humorist. At the conclusion of the address, members of the audience were invited to sign the petitions to be presented to the council asking for an election in the city under the Beal law. 75 years Nov. 29, 1938 One hundred boys and girls were present at the story hour Saturday morning at the public library to see the puppet play presented by Mrs. Melvin Schiff. “Alice in Bookland” was the title of the play which was arranged and written by Mrs. Schiff. The part of Alice was taken by Miss Jo Ann Zimpfer, with the puppets representing famous characters of Bookland made and costumed by Mrs. Schiff. ––––– Stanley C. Vorpe, son of Mr. and Mrs. E.C. Vorpe, R.R. 3, Sidney, a student at Green Township School, will represent Spring Creek Christian Church in the county wide prince of peace declamation contest. 50 years Nov. 29, 1963 LAKEVIEW – Timothy Charles was named president of the newly organized Indian Lake Kiwanis Club at a dinner meeting Tuesday at the Arrowhead restaurant in Russells Point. Jack Holland of Lakeview and the Sidney Kiwanis Club are sponsors of the club. Taking part in the installation were Thermal Chiles, president of the Sidney Kiwanis Club, Leroy

Biship, immediate past president of the Sidney Club and lieutenant governor of the third division, George Schram, Covington. On Thanksgiving Day, here and throughout the state, American Cancer Society volunteers observed Ohio Cancer Research Day. In a local ceremony, E.E. Rhees, 1963 Cancer Crusade chairman of the Shelby County units, American Cancer Society, turned over to Gus Cordonnier, unit president, $3,136, representing this county’s share in the all out national research attack. Similar ceremonies took place throughout Ohio’s 88 counties. Rhees, commenting on the occasion, noted that the ACS has 397 national research grants currently in effect and valued at more than $12 million. This, he added, swells the society’s total cancer research investment, since 1945, to more than $127,000,000. 25 years Nov. 29, 1988 The Sidney Board of Education will once again try to sell the Orange Township school building. It was on the auction block a few weeks ago and no one bid the required minimum figure of $30,000. Board members are researching what the minimum bid needs to be this time. ––––– The Sidney Noon Kiwanis club members heard a presentation on Direct Graphics, a local business. This maker of printed materials traces it’s origin to Amos Press in 1948. This part of the business was sold in 1987. Direct Graphics currently has 165 employees. The business runs three shifts 6 days a week. The presentation was made by president John Dunlap. –––––

But school since then, but I discovered mostly, we hope you realize how very that Cindi is telling her own version fortunate the two of you are to have

escaped this robbery unharmed. Dear Annie: The letter from “New York” described dumpster diving for food. My husband is an experienced “dumpster diver,” although he doesn’t look for edible items. We live in a small college town. Annie, you would not believe what students throw into dumpsters when they go home for the summer or move into their own apartments. My husband has found brand-new appliances, clothes, and unopened cake mixes, cereal, spices and canned meats. It’s astonishing. We have found microwave ovens, computers, video games, patio furniture, linens -you name it. When we were both out of work, this was a lifesaver to us. We are in a better financial situation now, but I remember those days fondly. -Mel in Michigan

Horoscope HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Friday, Nov. 29, 2013: This year friends, family and loved ones play a significant role. You love to socialize, and you will do a lot of networking. Review your priorities and goals frequently in the next 12 months. You are changing, and so will they. Make sure you are in the swing of things. If you are single, you will have many opportunities to change your status. If you are attached, relating to your significant other is important and satisfying. Be sure to stay on the same page. SCORPIO understands you a little too well. 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) HHHH You can’t seem to indulge someone enough, whether you are participating in the Black Friday shopping frenzy or simply hanging back with this person. Don’t worry -- there is no question about your feelings, or his or hers. Tonight: How about leftovers for two? TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH You can do only so much, and then you need to pull back and observe the results. Know that you can’t always tweak a situation to your liking. Screen your calls, as many people could be seeking you out. Be present in the moment. Tonight: Hang out as long as you want.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHH You are so upbeat about every facet of the long weekend that you might feel like a kid who is waiting for Santa. Do not forget to check in with a loved one. Your presence makes all the difference to this person. Tonight: Finally, you are able to kick back and relax. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Understand that it could be hard to make a family member happy. This person could be vested in staying grumpy, and there is little that you can do. In fact, if you keep trying to change his or her mood, you can be sure that he or she will repeat this act! Tonight: Time for you. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH Plans made yesterday probably still will work. Getting together with a special friend over a long meal puts a smile on both your faces. Before you know it, hours will have flown by. Take advantage of Black Friday, or at least check it out. Tonight: Exhausted at home. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH You might be quite busy dispensing funds today as you buy one great gift after another. Try to resist playing the “one for you, one for me, one for Sally, another for me” game. Schedule a late meal with a loved one before he or she leaves town. Tonight: Slow. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH You might feel as if you are on top of the world.

Jackets face Beavercreek in season opener Ken Barhorst kbarhorst@civitasmedia.com

Sidney and its new head coach Nathan Short face a monster early-season schedule, and that challenge gets underway Saturday night at home against perennial Dayton-area powerhouse Beavercreek. The Jackets face Beavercreek, Wayne, West Carrollton, Springboro and Trotwood in their first five games this season, so it’s baptism under fire for their young coach. “We just try to create scenarios in practice that are going to be tougher than they face

in a game,” said Lorenzo in explaining his approach to such a tough early schedule. “We try our best to create situations where they’re playing against 7 or 8 junior varsity guys instead of five. And we’re trying to replicate the kind of pressure we’re going to see because teams are going to play us close. The first couple times in preseason the kids were overwhelmed, but they got used to it after a while. I think a few of our scrimmages were good, specifically at working against pressure.” The Jackets have one advantage, however small, over Beavercreek. The Beavers play

Friday night at Middletown while the Jackets won’t open until Saturday night. “We’ll at least get to see them play once,” said Short. “But being a new guy I really want to get good at what we do. So I’ll do my best to prepare whatever is thrown at us. I know Beavercreek is good. A couple of the guys they have coming back are very talented and it’s going to be a big challenge.” Another thing the Beavers have is size. Zach Rower is a senior that stands 6-foot-9, and two others, Austin Johnson and Jared Watkins, are both 6-5. But the most amazing thing

about this Beavercreek squad is its roster. There are 13 players listed on it and 12 of them are seniors. “Having 12 seniors, they know how things have been run in that program for a long time,” Short said. “They’re going to put pressure on us and they will guard us really hard in the half court and trap us on the wings.” Short likes the direction is own team is going. “From when I came in during the summer to now, it’s pretty evident that the kids have gotten better,” Short said. “It’s good that they’re playing

together and getting used to the system. Everybody is helping each other out. I think our main obstacle has just been getting on the same page. With the new stuff we’re learning, that’s been the biggest obstacle. And we only have three seniors.” Short is glad to be at the helm of his own program. “It’s definitely been a goal of mine to have a program,” he said. “The administration and everyone has been really great to me. And we’ve got good kids.” But they have a big challenge ahead of them.

is playing at Ohio Northern University and Chase is playing for coach Eric Harlamert at Sidney High. And Lorenzo also runs the Ohio Blitz, which fills a need by focusing on high school players in U15 through U19. Most youth soccer programs, like Shelby County Youth Soccer, are for U8 through U14. There are eight teams in the Ohio Blitz this year, and with 16 to 18 players per team, that’s around 140 players participating. “I wasn’t 100 percent Lorenzo sure that Tony was going to step down,” said Lorenzo. “He said this would probably be his last year and that if I wanted to stay on board, (being head coach) would probably be an option. It’s going to be a challenge because we’ll lose a lot of seniors to graduation. But I feel like we’ve laid a foundation for the years to some” His one season as an assistant was an eye-opener. He’s spent his entire coaching career with club teams, and

he noticed a big difference this season. “I didn’t really realize it until I coached on the high school side this year,” he said. “When you’re coaching high school, you have them every day so there are a lot of things you can do as far as practices and training. With club teams, you only have them a couple times a week and sometimes only half the kids are there because of other soccer events going on. “And a major difference is that in high school, it really means something to win,” he continued. “You’re representing your school and your community. I don’t think it’s quite taken that way in club soccer. There’s just a lot more focus and intensity on the high school side.” He’s already excited about the opportunity. And he’s certainly going in confident. “We’ll be in a league next year and we expect to win it and get back to the district championship,” he said.

Lehman girls soccer coach retires KEN BARHORST

kbarhorst@civitasmedia.com

It’s the end of an era at Lehman in girls soccer. It wasn’t a long era, just a couple of years. But was it ever successful! Tony Schroeder announced his retirement earlier this week as head coach of the Lehman Lady Cavs after the greatest season in Shelby County soccer history. His team was ranked near the top of the Division III state poll all season long, and was the top-ranked team in the Miami Valley. And the season didn’t end until the regional finals in a 1-0 loss to eventual state champion Hamilton Badin. Combine this season’s 17-21 mark with the 16-3 record last season, and Schroeder finished 33-5-1 in his two years at the helm. He was also the head boys coach in 2008 and 2009, and finished 24-9-5, winning a district championship in a 15-4-1 season in ’08. That district title and the one this year with the girls are the only two in

Foundation of Meyer’s plan same at OSU and BG Jim Naveau COLUMBUS – The plan has been modified, tinkered with, expanded in some areas and reduced in others. But Urban Meyer today still does a lot of the same things in a lot of the same ways he did them in his first job as a head coach at Bowling Green State University from 2001-2002. It started at BGSU with a job Meyer was at first hesitant to take. At the time, he was Notre Dame’s receivers coach, a job Lou Holtz hired him for in 1996. Meyer called Holtz after he was offered the job and said he was worried. “This is not a very good job,” he said. Holtz replied, “Of course not. If it was a good job do you think they’d be calling you?” One of the first similarities between Meyer at Ohio State and Meyer at Bowling Green begins with a call. At OSU, he called the Buckeyes in for a 5 a.m. meeting the first day he was in charge of the program the day after a Gator Bowl loss dropped them to 6-7. A day or two after he took over at Bowling Green, the players got a call from the football office telling them to report to the indoor practice field at 5 a.m. the next morning. It was the infamous “Black Wednesday” at Bowling Green, where Meyer began sorting out who was going to buy into his plan after a 2-9 season and six straight losing seasons and who wasn’t. St. Henry High School athletic director Dennis Wendel, a starting offensive lineman on both of Meyer’s BGSU teams, was one of the players summoned to that 5 a.m. session. “I showed up at 5 a.m. and the next 2 ½ hours were just brutal. We started running gassers and you just kept running

until you could hardly walk anymore,” Wendel said. “The whole point of that was that you’re either going to be a part of this team or you’re not. You’re either all in or you’re not,” he said. “You’re either going to do it the right way and you’re going to do it the right way all the time, or you’re going to walk out the door.” Actually, one of the players who decided Meyer’s way wasn’t for him ran out the door. “We were coming back from running a gasser and somebody just kept running straight out of

the door of the building and I never saw him again in my life,” Wendel said. Bowling Green had an 8-3 record in 2001 and went 9-3 in 2002, launching Meyer into the job as Utah’s head coach, which led to the Florida job and eventually to Ohio State. “There was a complete culture change,” Wendel said about Meyer’s two years at Bowling Green. “He left no stone unturned. “The first thing I remember about him is his walk when he walked into the room when

he was introduced. As soon as he walked into the room he definitely had a presence about him. He commanded the room immediately,” Wendel said. There are other similarities between Ohio State and Bowling Green. Earlier this season, Meyer called Ohio State’s offensive linemen “my favorite guys on the team.” The Bowling Green lines Wendel played on earned a similar sort of affection from Meyer. “The first six months were really rough. Our offensive line

was really bad. We had to come in and lift on Saturday when nobody else did,” Wendel said. “Once we got past that first six months and he saw that the core of us were really buying in, we were his guys. At team meals, we got to eat first and he always sat with us and talked to us a lot. “Once you earned his trust, he treated you like a million bucks. If you’re a guy who does things the right, if you’re a good person who goes to class and is committed to the program, he’s going to know you forever.”

Lions rout Packers 40-10

AP Sports Writer

DETROIT (AP) — The Detroit Lions were dominant after a shaky start and snapped a few losing streaks. Matthew Stafford made up for some mistakes with three touchdown passes, including one to Calvin Johnson, to help Detroit score 37 straight points to beat the Green Bay Packers 40-10 on Thursday. The Lions (7-5) had lost their last two games, five consecutive against Green Bay and a franchise-record nine straight in their annual showcase on Thanksgiving. The Packers (5-6-1) have a five-game winless streak for the first time since 2008, showing how valuable Aaron Rodgers is for the franchise. Rodgers has missed four-plus games since fracturing his left collarbone. Matt Flynn became the fourth starting quarterback for Green Bay this year and was sacked seven times, once by Ndamukong Suh for a safety. Flynn didn’t fare as well as he did in his last start for Green Bay against the

same opponent. He was 10 of 20 for 139 yards with an interception and two fumbles. In the last game of the 2011 regular season, while Rodgers rested for the playoffs, Flynn threw for 480 yards and six touchdowns in a 45-41 win over Detroit. Stafford was 22 of 35 for 330 yards with two interceptions and a fumble that was returned by Morgan Burnett to put the Packers up 10-3 early in the second quarter. After that, Detroit did whatever it wanted on both sides of the ball. Reggie Bush bounced back from a fumble deep in Green Bay territory with a go-ahead, 1-yard TD run to give Detroit a 17-10 lead late in the first half. He finished with 117 yards rushing and 65 yards receiving. Detroit’s Joique Bell ran for 94 yards and a score. Johnson had six receptions for 101 yards and a 20-yard TD to put the Lions up 24-10 early in the third quarter. The Packers have been leaning on rookie running back Eddie Lacy lately, but he was limited to 16 yards on 10 carries against one of the NFL’s

best defenses against the run. If Detroit didn’t start the game so poorly, the score could’ve been even more lopsided. Bush ended what was a productive opening possession by fumbling at the Green Bay 6 after former USC teammate Clay Matthews knocked the ball out of his hands. Detroit also had a firstand-goal from the Packers 7 and lost 2 yards on three plays, in part because of Brandon Pettigrew’s false start, and settled for David Akers’ field goal. On Detroit’s next snap, Nick Perry stripped the

ball away from Stafford, and Burnett’s 1-yard return gave Green Bay its last lead. Stafford ended the next drive with an interception that was thrown directly at Tramon Williams as if the quarterback didn’t see the cornerback. The Lions gained 561 yards and gave up just 126. Green Bay didn’t have more than 100 yards of offense until there was a little more than a minute left, then Flynn fumbled in a fitting end for a game that he and his banged-up team would like to forget.

SAY WHAT?

RECRUITING UPDATE

“I think this is the best I’ve ever played.”

The number of Ohio State recruits for next season still playing high school games is getting smaller every week as the playoffs head toward determining state champions around the country. Quarterback Stephen Collier (Lee County, Ga.), a 2014 OSU verbal commitment, was one of those who saw his season come to an end last week when his team lost 41-35 to Jonesboro Mundy’s Mill. Collier passed for 238 yards and two touchdowns and rushed for 154 yards and three TDs. He will enroll at Ohio State at the start of the second semester. Curtis Samuel (Brooklyn Erasmus Hall) also saw his season end in a 41-33 playoff loss to Staten Island Tottenville. Samuel rushed for 129 yards on 10 carries. Chad Mavety (Nassau Community College) made an official visit to Ohio State last weekend when the Buckeyes beat Indiana 42-14. Mavety, one of OSU’s top targets with four starting offensive linemen graduating, reportedly has the Buckeyes and Florida State as his top two teams and could make an announcement as soon as in the next two weeks. Jerome Baker (Cleveland Benedictine), an outside linebacker in the 2015 recruiting class, was at the OSU-Indiana game. He is rated a 4-star prospect by espn.com and has offers from Ohio State, Penn State, Nebraska, Iowa, Arkansas and several other schools. Trevion Thompson (Durham N.C. Hillside), a 2014 class wide receiver, was at the OSU-Indiana game but OSU could be only No. 3 behind Clemson and North Carolina for him.

— Ohio State linebacker Ryan Shazier, talking about having 36 tackles in the last two games.

No. 3 Ohio State at Michigan, noon, ABC < OFFENSIVE LINE Maybe the only negative thing about Ohio State’s offensive line is that four of them are seniors and will have to be replaced next year. They are a big reason OSU is averaging 48.7 points and 530 yards a game. Michigan’s offensive line has struggled all season and the Wolverines have tried five different starting combinations. They have allowed 32 sacks and rank No. 123 nationally in tackles for losses allowed. Tackles Taylor Lewan and Mike Schofield have been the most consistent performers. Advantage: Ohio State

< DEFENSIVE LINE Ohio State’s 36 sacks lead the Big Ten. Noah Spence (7.5 sacks), Michael Bennett (5.5 sacks) and Joey Bosa (5 sacks) could add to those numbers against Michigan’s embattled offensive line. Michigan’s front seven has kept the Wolverines Don Speck | The Lima News Senior wide receiver Corey Brown had a big game against Michigan last year with in games its offense has done its best to play them out of. Frank Clark (12 8 catches for 95 yards and a touchdown. tackles for losses, 4.5 sacks) and Jibreel Black (7.5 tackles for losses) lead the way.

For Michigan, Jeremy Gallon (71 catches, 1,109 yards, 8 TDs) and Devin Funchess (43 catches, 686 yards, 5 TDs) will be a challenge for OSU’s pass defense. Advantage: Michigan

Too soon for new Big Two They were half right. Two years ago when Michigan broke a 7-game losing streak against Ohio State and two days later Urban Meyer was hired as the Buckeyes football coach, the conventional wisdom was that those two football programs were going to dominate the Big Ten again like they did in the 1970s. Michigan finished 11-2 that season in Brady Hoke’s first year as the Wolverines’ coach. The future looked bright. And by hiring Meyer, Ohio State all but guaranteed there would be no repeat of the 6-7 record it had during a suspension-riddled 2011 season. Meyer’s teams have produced a school-record 23 consecutive wins. But since that brilliant first act, Hoke’s teams have had a 15-9 record and are 2-5 against Top 25 teams. Michigan was 8-5 in 2012 and was regarded as the favorite to win the Legends Division of the Big Ten this year and go on to battle Ohio State in the Big Ten championship game one week after their annual season-ending game. Ohio State held up its end of the bargain by winning the Leaders Division. But Michigan (7-4, 3-4 Big Ten) finds itself one spot away from last place in the Legends Division going into Saturday’s game between the two rivals. There have been big headaches in The Big House this season. Offensive line. Running game. Turnovers. They’ve all been problems. The gap between Ohio State and Michigan is smaller than it was during the failed Rich Rodriguez experiment but it hasn’t narrowed as quickly as Michigan hoped it would. And now it appears it might be growing again. Of course, Michigan could put a stop to that by upsetting Ohio State on Saturday. It certainly wouldn’t be the first time an Ohio State team that was a big favorite took a knockout punch from Michigan. Most famously, it happened to OSU in 1969. It also happened to unbeaten Ohio State teams in 1995 and 1996.
