Send troops a little taste of home for the holidays

Having been through a battle with cancer himself, Darl Blevins understands exactly the physical and mental toll it can take on people.

“You have your good days and your bad days,” Blevins explained.

“Some days your up and some days your down.”

That’s why he wanted to do something to help those affected by it.

Blevins, a 1973 graduate of Piqua High School, recruited some co-workers from ConAgra Foods to get their hair cut for Locks of Love — a nonprofit organization that provides hairpieces to financially disadvantaged children in the U.S. and Canada under 21 who are suffering from long-term medical hair loss from any diagnosis.

“You lose a lot with chemo,” said Blevins, who just recently completed his last session of

chemotherapy for bone cancer. “It knocks you down physically and mentally too. I know it’s a lot harder for the little kids. I know when I lost my hair, I couldn’t even go to Walmart without my cap on.

“For kids, it has to be hard. They have a lot of issues when they get cancer in terms of self image … and I thought maybe we could get a couple wigs and help make them smile.”

And Troy’s own Studio 45 was more than happy to help out by providing free haircuts to the handful of ConAgra employees that came in Saturday afternoon.

“Studio 45 has been really cooperative,” Blevins said. “Atlantis in Piqua has also printed out t-shirts below cost for me since I didn’t have any sponsors.” “(Darl) from ConAgra called me and asked if we would be willing to do free haircuts for Locks of Love,” said Ann James, manager at Studio 45.

Sarah Wion, seated, donates ten inches of her hair Saturday as Studio 45 stylist Kaitlin Houck cuts her hair. “I wanted support my friend Darl (Blevins) and make the kids happy,” Wion said. She added it was her second time getting her hair cut off for a good cause as the first time she donated 13 inches of hair.

“He actually had cancer himself. He was going through the battle — and he thought he could make a difference.”

Well, the difference has been made.

Blevins said he appreciated everybody at ConAgra who has helped him out with the project and during his time battling bone cancer. The doctors caught Blevins’

bone cancer in stage four. He is still recovering and will continue making trips to the hospital to receive shots to help his bone mass grow back.

Miami County Board of Developmental Disabilities Superintendent Karen Mayer visits with Ralph Hill during a senior program Friday at the Riverside of Miami County.

A job well done Mayer to retire from Riverside David Fong

Executive Editor dfong@civitasmedia.com

TROY — Karen Mayer has never known what it is like to flip off her computer, organize her desk, head home for the day and not have to worry about her job until the next morning.

For the past 17 years, Mayer has worked at The Miami County Board if Developmental Disabilities — the last 13 and a half as super-

intendent. For Mayer, however, it’s been far more than just a job. It’s been an allconsuming passion to which she’s dedicated nearly two decades of her life.

“Even when I’m not actively working, it’s Mayer something I’m always thinking about,” Mayer said.

“It’s not something you ever really stop thinking about. I like to joke that even when I’m sleeping, I’m often dreaming about work — what needs to be done and what needs to be taken care of.”

At the end of this year, however, Mayer finally will step

away from MCBDD — more commonly known as Riverside — as she retires. While she’s certainly sad to be leaving, she said she knows the program is in good hands.

“I’m going to miss all the people and all the activities,” Mayer said. “Being superintendent has been very rewarding. It is a little sad to be leaving. But overall, this is a great organization with great people. It’s grown in a lot of ways. There are so many great people working here — I know they’ll be See JOB | 2

PIQUA — A late-night chase that began and ended in Piqua resulted in the arrest of a Piqua resident Friday night.

Piqua police report that James Green, 26, faces a number of charges following the pursuit.

Lt. Jason Preston said that Green’s girlfriend reported he had taken her car without permission earlier in the evening.

As officers responded to take the report, Green was spotted and an officer attempted a traffic stop. Green Preston said that Green took off at a high rate of speed, westbound toward Covington. Speeds reached upwards of 90 miles per hour as units from the Miami County Sheriff’s Office joined in the pursuit.

Sheriff’s deputies set up stop sticks between Covington and Bradford, succeeding in deflating one tire, but Green continued to run.

Piqua officers set up another set of spikes on U.S. 36 at the west edge of Piqua, deflating both front tires on the vehicle. Green managed to make it as far as Wood Street before the vehicle was stopped and he surrendered to authorities.

No one was injured in the pursuit which lasted 22 minutes and covered 26 miles.

Green is incarcerated at the Miami County Jail and is facing a variety of charges, including unauthorized use of a motor vehicle, felony failure to comply with a police officer, driving without an operator’s license. Other charges will include several counts of speeding and stop sign violations.

Green allegedly told officers that he ran because he did not have a driver’s license.

Troy City Council to hear rezoning issues Melanie Yingst Staff Writer myingst@civitasmedia.com

Job From page 1 ready for the next person.”

After graduating from Miami University with a bachelor’s degree in sociology and a master’s degree in public administration from Nova Southeastern University, Mayer spent her entire career in government and social service organizations, including the positions of Chief of the Office of Residential Contracting and the Office of Program Design and Evaluation for the Ohio Department of Development al Disabilities. She arrived at Riverside 17 years ago and served as Director of Human Resources until taking over as superintendent.

She said she’s seen many changes and improvements at Riverside in her time as superintendent — and laughed when asked which change she’s most proud of during her career.

“I always laugh and say when I first started here, there wasn’t any air conditioning on the buses,” she said. “A lot of people may not think that’s a big deal — but if they ever rode on those buses, they would know how important that really was. So I always joke that if I’ve done nothing else tangible, I’ve made sure we had air conditioning on the buses.

“But we’ve also done a lot with getting employment for our clients. In the past few years, we’ve really gotten involved with the state’s Employment First program. It’s something we’ve really focused on.”

According to to the mission statement on Employment First’s website (www.ohioemploymentfirst.org), “Statewide coordination and collaboration makes it possible to change policy in order to create pathways that lead to community employment. All state agencies providing supports and services to Ohio’s individuals with developmental disabilities are required to align policies and procedures to support community employment and fulfill the Employment First requirement that community employment is the preferred outcome for working-age adults.”

Mayer will retire at the end of this year.

The Miami County Board of Developmental Disabilities already is accepting resumes for the superintendent position.

Resumes can be accepted weekdays at Riverside’s 1625 Troy-Sidney Rd. facility or mailed to: Riverside of Miami County, Attention: Steve Baker, 1625 Troy-Sidney Rd., Troy OH, 45373.

As for Mayer, she said she doesn’t have any longterm plans for retirement, but does have something in mind for the short term.

“This winter I’m going to Florida,” she said. “I’ll start with that.”

Kennedy’s vision for mental health care never realized

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — The last piece of legislation President John F. Kennedy signed turns 50 this month: the Community Mental Health Act, which helped transform the way people with mental illness are treated and cared for in the United States.

Signed on Oct. 31, 1963, weeks before Kennedy was assassinated, the legislation aimed to build mental health centers accessible to all Americans so that those with mental illnesses could be treated while working and living at home, rather than being kept in neglectful and often abusive state institutions, sometimes for years on end.

Kennedy said when he signed the bill that the legislation to build 1,500 centers would mean the population of those living in state mental hospitals — at that time more than 500,000 people — could be cut in half. In a special message to Congress earlier that year, he said the idea was to successfully and quickly treat patients in their own communities and then return them to “a useful place in society.”

Recent deadly mass shootings, including at the Washington Navy Yard and a Colorado movie theater, have been perpetrated by men who were apparently not being adequately treated for serious mental illnesses. Those tragedies

AP Photo In this Oct. 31, 1963 file photo, President John F. Kennedy signs a bill authorizing $329 million for mental health programs at the White House in Washington. The Community Mental Health Act, the last legislation that Kennedy signed, aimed to build 1,500 mental health centers so those with mental illnesses could be treated while living at home, rather than being kept in state institutions. It brought positive changes, but was never fully funded. Former U.S. Rep. Patrick Kennedy will host a conference on Oct. 24, 2013 in Boston, to mark the 50th anniversary of the act, and formulate an agenda to continue improving mental health care.

have focused public attention on the mental health system and made clear that Kennedy’s vision was never fully realized.

The legislation did help to usher in positive lifealtering changes for people with serious illnesses such as schizophrenia, many of whom now live normal, productive lives with jobs and families.

In 1963, the average stay in a state institution for someone with schizophrenia was 11 years. But only half of the proposed centers were ever built, and those were never fully funded.

Meanwhile, about 90 percent of beds have been cut at state hospitals, according to Paul Appelbaum, a Columbia University psychiatry professor and expert in how the law affects the practice of medicine. In many cases, several mental health experts said, that has left nowhere for the sickest people to turn, so they end up homeless, abusing substances or in prison. The three largest mental health providers in the nation today are jails: Cook County in Illinois, Los Angeles County and Rikers Island

in New York.

“The rhetoric was very highfalutin. The reality was a little more complicated, and the funds that were provided were not adequate to the task,” said Steven Sharfstein, president and CEO of Sheppard Pratt Health System, a nonprofit behavioral health organization in Baltimore.

“The goals of deinstitutionalization were perverted. People who did need institutional care got thrown out, and there weren’t the programs in place to keep them supported,” said former U.S.

Rep. Patrick Kennedy, the president’s nephew.

“We don’t have an alternate policy to address the needs of the severely mentally ill.”

He is gathering advocates in Boston this week for the Kennedy Forum, a meeting to mark the 50th anniversary of his uncle’s legislation and an attempt to come up with an agenda for improving mental health care.

The 1963 legislation came amid other changes in treatments for the mentally ill and health care policy in general, Appelbaum said.

Chlorpromazine or Thorazine, the first effective antipsychotic medicine, was released in the 1950s. That allowed many people who were mentally ill to leave institutions and live at home.

In 1965, with the adoption of Medicaid, deinstitutionalization accelerated, experts said, because states now had an incentive to move patients out of state hospitals, where they shouldered the entire cost of their care, and into communities where the federal government would pick up part of the tab.

Later, a movement grew to guarantee rights to people with mental illness. Laws were changed in every state to limit involuntary hospitalization so people can’t be committed without their consent, unless there is a danger of hurting themselves or others.

Shutdown not to be repeated, alternative elusive WASHINGTON (AP) — Leaders from both parties insist a sequel to the government shutdown must be avoided although a plan to dodge it is still elusive.

“This can never happen again,” Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew said.

Added Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell: “There’ll not be another government shutdown, you can count on that.”

The 16-day partial shutdown ended last week although a possible repeat may be on the horizon. Lawmakers approved a budget that keeps the lights on through Jan. 15 and lets Treasury continue to pay its bills through Feb. 7.

That’s not to say there is a solution at hand, and no one is rushing forward with alternatives to a potential repeat of the gridlock that shuttered parts of the government and pushed

the nation toward a default on its debt. The political price has been high ahead of 2014’s midterm elections, especially for Republicans.

“I think there was some ground lost from the political point of view,” said former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, a potential 2016 presidential contender for the GOP. Democratic House Leader Nancy Pelosi of California reiterated the public’s reaction to the partisan gamesmanship that played out over more than two weeks: “I join the American people in their disgust at what happened in terms of the shutdown of government.”

But there’s no real way forward to dodge a repeat and its chief architect, Republican Sen. Ted of Cruz, is urging one. Hundreds of thousands of government workers were sent home amid the shutdown and national parks were barricaded while politicians

negotiated. The whole situation could be repeated — combined with economic consequences — early next year, perhaps with more severe consequences.

“The deal this week was a lousy deal for the American people,” Cruz said.

It’s not ideal, but no one has a tangible way to avoid it.

“We just went through an awful period for our country,” said Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C. A standoff between President Barack Obama and a group of Republicans over spending for the budget year beginning Oct. 1 and defunding the nation’s health care overhaul led to the shutdown. Lawmakers also pushed the country to the edge of economic default by threatening the Treasury Department’s authority to continue borrowing the money needed to pay the nation’s bills.

The bitter feuding ended

on Wednesday, and a group of House and Senate lawmakers has until Dec. 13 to produce a spending deal to stave off another shutdown and possible default in early 2014.

“There were really no winners,” said Sen. Mark Warner, D-Va. “I mean, our country took an economic hit.”

The public won’t tolerate a repeat, said Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz.

“I am very confident the American people will not stand for another reputation of this disaster,” he said.

Lew appeared on NBC’s “Meet the Press.” McConnell, Warner and Graham were on CBS’ “Face the Nation.” Bush and Pelosi spoke to ABC’s “This Week.”

McCain and Cruz were on CNN’s “State of the Union.”

Bacteria found in breast milk sold on Internet CHICAGO (AP) — Human breast milk is sold for babies on several online sites for a few dollars an ounce, but a new study says buyer beware: Testing showed it can contain potentially dan-

gerous bacteria including salmonella.

The warning comes from researchers who bought and tested 101 breast milk samples sold by women on one popular site. Three-fourths of the samples contained high amounts of bacteria that could potentially sicken babies, the researchers found. They did not identify the website.

The results are “pretty scary,” said Dr. Kenneth Boyer, pediatrics chief at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago, who was not involved in the study. “Just imagine if

the donor happens to be a drug user. You don’t know.”

The research cites several cases of infants getting sick from strangers’ milk published in medical literature.

Breast milk is also provided through milk banks, whose clients include hospitals. They also charge fees but screen donors and pasteurize donated milk to kill any germs.

With Internet sites, “you have very few ways to know for sure what you are getting is really breast milk and that it’s safe to feed your baby,”

said Sarah Keim, the lead author and a researcher at Nationwide Children’s Hospital in Columbus, Ohio. “Because the consequences can be serious, it is not a good idea to obtain breast milk in this way.”

The advice echoes a 2010 recommendation from the federal Food and Drug Administration.

“When human milk is obtained directly from individuals or through the Internet, the donor is unlikely to have been adequately screened for infectious disease or contamination risk,” the FDA says. “In addition, it is not likely that the human milk has been collected, processed, tested or stored in a way that reduces possible safety risks to the baby.”

The researchers believe theirs is the first study to test the safety of Internetsold milk, although several others have documented bacteria in mothers’ own milk or in milk bank donations. Some bacteria may not be harmful, but salmonella is among germs that could pose a threat to infants, Boyer said.

Sources for bacteria

found in the study aren’t known but could include donors’ skin, breast pumps used to extract milk, or contamination from improper shipping methods, Keim said.

The study was published online Monday in the journal Pediatrics.

There are many milksharing sites online, including several that provide milk for free.

Sellers or donors tend to be new mothers who produce more milk than their own babies can consume. Users include mothers who have difficulty breast-feeding and don’t want to use formula and people with adopted infants.

Breanna Clemons of Dickinson, N.D., is a donor who found a local woman who needed breast milk through one of the online sites where milk is offered free.

“A lot of people are like, ‘Ewww, it’s weird,’ but they haven’t been in a situation where they didn’t want their child to have formula,” or couldn’t produce enough milk, Clemons said. She said she shared her medical history with the recipient.

Stockings for Soldiers Send troops a little taste of home for the holidays

Bethany J. Royer Staff Writer broyer@civitasmedia.com

PIQUA — A program to honor and support Ohio troops overseas began with a soup, stew and chili cook-off Saturday. A proper start to the fourth annual Stockings for Soldiers program held by Gover Harley-Davidson and Melcher-Sowers Funeral Home. A collaboration that will seek donations from Piqua and the surrounding Miami County area for Christmas stockings to be sent to troops serving overseas.

“The stockings program was initiated by Melcher-Sowers Funeral Home in 2010,” stated Tracy Gover, Owner/ General Manager of Gover Harley-Davidson, in a written correspondence that provided a sneak-peek into the program. One originally facilitated by the funeral home on their own including, “Promotion within the community, collection of donations, preparing the packages and paying for all of the shipping.”

However, during a Gover Harley-Davidson Hero Day where the Melcher-Sowers Funeral Home encouraged people to take a stocking to fill, they also asked the motorcycle dealership to become a partner. And as stated in a press release, while sad to see these young men and women going overseas, both businesses consider it an honor to be able to support them.

“Our goal is to send a stocking to as many of our overseas troops as possible , so they will know they are in our thoughts and prayers,” said Gover with the American Legion, Kiwanis and Rotary to help with the expense of shipping the stockings this year and several other local groups and organizations having already pledged their help.

While aid has been immense, there is always room for others to join and in a variety of ways, too. In the past, students of Piqua Catholic school have assisted by making Christmas cards to put in each stocking while

another year the local art club provided dozens of beautifully decorated stockings to send.

“It is great having our community reach out to our overseas soldiers this way as they work to keep us free. We are honored to have this opportunity,” said Jerry L. Sowers, Funeral Director, Melcher-Sowers Funeral Home, with any left-over supplies to be donated to Blue Star Mothers of Miami and Shelby Counties for use in care packages to other soldiers who have ties to the community.

According to Gover, in 2010 stockings went to the unit of Staff Sgt. Randy Haney whose mother and grandmother are from Troy. He was killed in line of duty in Afghanistan. The next year the stockings went to Bravo Battery while they were deployed, and last year they went to the 1486th which is the Ohio National Guard unit that the 1487th Transportation Company replaced during their recent deployment to Afghanistan.

“This year we’re planning to send them to sailors that are at sea on a Navy submarine, including Cody Keith, the son of Sherrie Robbins of Sidney who is also the Motorclothes Manager at Gover H-D,” says Gover with more than 600 stockings having been delivered over the past three years, with notes of appreciation from soldiers and their families thanking everyone for sending cheer and reminders of home to them over the holidays.

The stockings will be available at both Gover Harley-Davidson, 1501 E. Ash Street, and MelcherSowers Funeral Home, 646 W. High Street, during regular business hours between now and Oct. 25.

Filled stockings need to be returned to either location no later than Nov. 8.

There are three ways to participate: Make a monetary donation at either Gover HarleyDavidson or MelcherSowers Funeral Home and they’ll take care of the rest Visit either business website to review a recommended list of items and drop them off to either business

by Nov. 8 Pick up stocking(s) between now and Oct. 25 at Gover HarleyDavidson or MelcherSowers Funeral Home to fill with goodies and return to either location by Nov. 8 Each empty stocking will include a list of items that will make good stocking stuffers such as snacks, games, word puzzle books, batteries, toiletries, powdered drink mixes, and candy.

Each soldier gets a stocking filled with goodies packed in its own box.

ONLINE POLL

(WWW.TROYDAILYNEWS.COM)

Question: Do you think the government will have another shutdown within the next three years?

Watch for final poll results in Sunday’s Miami Valley Sunday News.

Watch for a new poll question in Sunday’s Miami Valley Sunday News

PERSPECTIVE

EDITORIAL ROUNDUP The Concord (N.H.) Monitor When the reckless and nauseating spectacle in Washington finally ended, here’s what House Speaker John Boehner had to say: “We fought the good fight. We just didn’t win.”

His glib summation shows better than nearly anything how out of touch those Republicans responsible for this month’s government shutdown are with the American people and with common sense itself.

Good fight? It’s hard to even understand what the tea party crowd was fighting for. Surely they didn’t believe they would actually succeed in convincing President Obama to undo his signature accomplishment, the Affordable Care Act. Surely they didn’t believe Americans wanted the government they’re paying for to be shut down. Surely they didn’t predict broad approval for their scheme to bring the country close to a crash of the economic markets and inflict pain on federal workers, private contractors and the many, many other Americans who rely on the government in ways small and large. Surely they didn’t imagine that underscoring what a dysfunctional mess Washington has become would improve the nation’s standing in the world.

The reprieve — a deal to reopen the government and lift the threat of default — is temporary, of course. Lawmakers agreed to fund the government through Jan. 15 and raise the debt ceiling through Feb. 7. And Boehner’s mischaracterization of the situation doesn’t bode well. Yet the serious players in the House, Senate and White House must persevere. What’s needed now is what’s been needed for years: a big, long-term deal to balance the federal budget that will no doubt need to include some new revenue, some cuts in spending and some rethinking of federal entitlement programs. This should not be news, especially to elected officials, even as many of them have spent long careers avoiding committing to a deficitreduction plan that might include some political risk.

Amid the gloom, voters can be heartened by the conduct of several members of Congress who rejected the zealotry of their colleagues and pushed for a bipartisan compromise. They include Sens.

Kelly Ayotte and Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire and Sen. Susan Collins of Maine. All showed themselves to be practical-minded when it counted. And all seemed to know instinctively what was lost on the Ted Cruz crowd: Most Americans want their leaders to work together for the good of the country. They expect them to be civil, open-minded and reasonable. They have limited tolerance for political nonsense.

The bigger budget battle has yet to be joined. We encourage Shaheen and Ayotte to seek out leadership roles in persuading their colleagues to make an even harder, longer-term commitment to doing the right thing.

The Republican-American of Waterbury (Conn.)

Yes, congressional Republicans blundered by linking the continuation of government services and, later, the next raising of the national debt ceiling, to defunding Obamacare. One didn’t need to be a liberal Democrat to discern the GOP’s peril.

“The GOP appears to have made a horrendous strategic error,” the Republican-American asserted in an Oct. 3 editorial. “At this point, the party can only hope this fiasco doesn’t damage its longterm prospects.”

Well, the damage is done. A minority of House Republicans broke from the herd Wednesday night and joined united Democrats in approving a compromise drawn up by Senate leaders. The GOP got almost nothing for its efforts: reinstatement of an incomeverification provision in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, and a promise to negotiate other budget and debt-ceiling issues in the coming months. Both sides kicked the federal government’s impending fiscal calamity down the road, as they agreed to fund the government through Jan. 15 and revisit the debt ceiling in February or March.

Assuming the upcoming negotiations are a bit less apocalyptic, the deeper question is: what impact will the events of September and October 2013 have on the general election in November 2014 — in which the identity of 33 senators and all 435 House members will be decided? If Republicans truly want to dismantle Obamacare, they’ll need control of the House and Senate after the 2014 election, at a minimum. Their tactics during the past month may have sabotaged their own hopes for the next two elections.

LETTERS Please vote for untion To the Editor: I’m writing in response to the recently published letter to the editor about the upcoming union election at the ConAgra Foods processing plant in Troy. I have worked at this plant for four years. I believe that we need a union contract to make sure we have job security and a voice at work.

As it stands right now, everything we have could be taken away at any time. Our wages, benefits, or our 401(k) could change or be taken away without notice and without our input. I also believe that having a union would make our plant safer, which would benefit everyone.

Since we started organizing a union,

ConAgra has hired consultants to come in and talk to employees every day, all day long, to persuade us that we don’t need a union. I have to ask myself why they would spend all this money on consultants to keep us from organizing a union, if, as they tell us, having a union contract wouldn’t change anything or make our jobs better. I wonder why they would rather pay these lawyers than negotiate with their own employees.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion and to their vote, but I would encourage everyone to remember that we have “benefits” like breaks, weekends, and basic safety protections because working people just like us organized unions.

— Cindy Bowling Troy

Please support your local library I’ve had a number of friends visit me at my home recently.

Let’s see, there was Isaac Asimov. And Shelby Foote.

Batman and Robin. Not to mention Tony Horwitz and John Grisham, some guy named Tolkien – and Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. I would have invited Earnest Hemingway and F. Scott Fitzgerald but to tell you the truth I never have liked them very much – too depressing.

No, my house is not haunted nor do I have a bunch of friends with odd names – I have enough trouble keeping friends with normal names.

All my visitors were at my house because of the library.

I’ve always loved libraries.

You can explore the entire world without leaving home. Plus, there’s no admission charge.

I can remember when I was young I would go to the Hayner Mansion, which housed the library at the time. It was like stepping into another world. I’d always find my books then go to

I don’t try to convince people You’ve probably figured out how to vote very often, but the what I’m leading up to here – library levy is one issue that the Troy-Miami County Public deserves everyone’s support — Library has a 0.6 mill tax levy even the support of those who renewal on the November bal- might not use the library. It

provides so much opportunity to so many people that it greatly improves our community and makes the lives of everyone who lives here better. Everyone benefits from a good library. And, yes, since the levy is a renewal it is not a tax increase. I should also mention that the Tipp City library also has a levy renewal on the ballot next month. It’s the same story there as it is in Troy – the library is a vital part of the city and deserves your support.

So vote for the levy and then have a little celebration at your house – I bet you can get J.K. Rowling and James Michener to come. Or, if you prefer, swing by the library and pick up Tom Cruise, Scarlet Johansson and maybe even Crosby, Stills and Nash (with or without Young) or Modest Mussorgsky. If you’re the more serious type, you can learn about science or math or foreign languages – or just about anything, really. They’re all there just waiting for an invitation.

Work begins on California bullet train, locals angry FRESNO, California (AP) — Trucks loaded with tomatoes, milk and almonds clog the two main highways that bisect California’s farm heartland, carrying goods to millions along the Pacific Coast and beyond. This dusty stretch of land is the starting point for one of the most expensive U.S. public infrastructure projects: a $68 billion high-speed rail system that would span the state, linking the people of America’s salad bowl to more jobs, opportunity and buyers.

Five years ago, California voters overwhelmingly approved the idea of bringing a bullet train to themost populous U.S. state. It would be America’s first high-speed rail system, sold to the public as a way to improve access to good-paying jobs, cut pollution from smog-filled roadways and reduce time wasted sitting in traffic while providing an alternative to high fuel prices.

Now, engineering work has finally begun on the first 30-mile (48-kilometer) segment of track here in Fresno, a city of a half-million people with soaring unemployment and a withering downtown core littered with abandoned factories and shuttered stores.

Rail is meant to help Fresno, with construction jobs now and improved access to economic opportunity once the project is finished. But the region that could benefit most from the project is also where opposition to it has grown most fierce.

“I just wish it would go away, this high-speed rail. I just wish it would go away,” says Gary Lanfranco, whose restaurant in downtown Fresno is slated to be demolished to make way for rerouted traffic.

Such sentiments can be heard throughout the Central Valley, where roads are dotted with signs such as: “HERE COMES HIGH SPEED RAIL There goes the farm.” Growers complain of misplaced priorities, and residents wonder if their tax money is being squandered.

AP Photo In this photo taken July 16, cows feed at a dairy owned by Lucas Loganberg and his family, that sits on one of the proposed routes of California’s high-speed rail system, near Hanford, Calif. The state needs to buy hundreds of properties or seize them through eminent domain to make way for the rail line, causing many owners to become resentful after years of what they say are confusing messages about the project.

Aaron Fukuda, a civil engineer whose house in the dairy town of Hanford lies directly in one of the possible train routes, says: “People are worn out, tired, frustrated.”

Voters in 2008 approved $10 billion in bonds to start construction on an 800-mile (1,300-kilometer) rail line to ferry passengers between San Francisco and Los Angeles in 2 hours and 40 minutes, compared with 6 hours by car now during good traffic. Since then, the housing market collapsed, multibilliondollar budget deficits followed, and the price tag has fluctuated wildly — from $45 billion in 2008 to more than $100 billion in 2011 and, now, $68 billion.

Political and financial compromises led officials to scale back plans that now mean trains will be forced to slow down and share tracks in major cities, leading

critics to question whether it will truly be the 220-mph (355-kph) “high-speed rail” voters were promised.

The high-speed rail business plan says trains will run between the greater Los Angeles area and the San Francisco Bay Area by 2029. But construction has been postponed repeatedly, and a court victory this summer by opponents threatens further delays; a Sacramento County Superior Court judge said the state rail authority’s plan goes against the promise made to voters to identify all the funding for the first segment before starting construction.

Even the former chairman of the California High-Speed Rail Authority, Quentin Kopp, has turned against the current project, saying in court papers that it “is no longer a genuine high speed rail system.”

In the Central Valley, there is intense distrust of the authority, which has started buying up property, land and businesses, some of which have been in families for generations.

At the dimly lit Cosmopolitan Cafe, office workers line up alongside farmers and paramedics to order sandwiches as waitresses expeditiously call out order numbers. Four decades’ worth of memorabilia and yellowing newspaper restaurant reviews line the faux-wood walls in the space that Lanfranco has owned for most of his life.

Lanfranco says the sum he was offered to buy the property does not come close to replacing the space he owns, debtfree. The adjacent parking lot — a rare commodity — is packed with pickup trucks and cars each day at lunchtime.

Lanfranco declined to say how much he was offered, and the offers are not public record.

“It’s not like it’s just a restaurant that I’ve owned for a couple of years and now I can just go replace it. It’s something that I’ve put the last 45 years of my life into,” the 66-year-old says.

His is just one of hundreds of properties the state needs to buy for the rail project or seize through eminent domain if they cannot reach a deal.

Many owners are resentful after years of what they say have been confusing messages and misleading information.

Rail officials acknowledge that the agency hasn’t always communicated with those most affected by the project, and part of their work in the Central Valley is strictly public relations.

“Frankly, it set us back, because we, in effect, created questions and even opposition by just failing to give people answers,” says Jeff Morales, the authority’s chief executive officer since 2012.

For supporters, high-speed rail is the solution to California’s future transportation needs, when the state’s already jammed, rutted highways and busy airports won’t be enough for a population expected to hit 46 million by 2035.

Signs of rift between Two convicted killers taken into custody in Florida Israel and U.S. over Iran JERUSALEM (AP) — Just days after the first round of global nuclear talks with Iran, a rift appears to be emerging between Israel and its closest ally, the United States.

Israel’s prime minister on Sunday called on the U.S. to step up the pressure on Iran, even as American officials hinted at the possibility of easing tough economic pressure.

Meanwhile, a leading Israeli daily reported the outlines of what could be construed in the West as genuine Iranian compromises in the talks.

The differing approaches could bode poorly for Israel as the talks between six global powers and Iran gain steam in the coming months.

Negotiators were upbeat following last week’s talks, and the next round of negotiations is set to begin Nov. 7.

Convinced Iran is pursuing nuclear weapons, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu believes the Iranians are trying to trick the West into easing economic sanctions while still pushing forward with their nuclear program.

Iran insists its program is for peaceful purposes.

“I think that in this situa-

tion as long as we do not see actions instead of words, the international pressure must continue to be applied and even increased,” Netanyahu told his Cabinet. “The greater the pressure, the greater the chance that there will be a genuine dismantling of the Iranian military nuclear program.”

Israel considers a nucleararmed Iran a threat to its very survival, citing Iranian references to Israel’s destruction.

Netanyahu says pressure must be maintained until Iran halts all enrichment of uranium, a key step in producing a nuclear weapon; removes its stockpile of enriched uranium from the country; closes suspicious enrichment facilities and shutters a facility that could produce plutonium, another potential gateway to nuclear arms.

Despite Netanyahu’s warnings, there are growing signs that any international deal with Iran will fall short of his demands.

Over the weekend, U.S. officials said the White House was debating whether to offer Iran the chance to recoup billions of dollars in frozen

assets if it scales back its nuclear program. The plan would stop short of lifting sanctions, but could nonetheless provide Iran some relief.

In an interview broadcast Sunday on NBC, U.S. Treasury Secretary Jack Lew said it was “premature” to talk of easing sanctions. But he stopped short of endorsing the tough Israeli line and suggested the U.S. would take a more incremental approach in response to concrete Iranian gestures.

Asked whether he was worried the U.S. might ease the sanctions prematurely, Netanyahu urged against a “partial deal” with Iran. “I don’t advise doing that,” he said on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”

Details from last week’s talks in Geneva have remained tightly guarded, but short-range priorities have been made clear. The U.S. and allies seek to roll back Iran’s highest-level uranium enrichment. Iran wants the West to start easing sanctions.

The Israeli daily Haaretz on Sunday reported what it said were the key Iranian proposals last week.

PANAMA CITY BEACH, Fla. (AP) — With two convicted killers back in police custody, authorities have shifted attention to finding out who made the phony court documents that led to the mistaken inmate releases that rocked Florida’s judicial system.

Joseph Jenkins and Charles Walker, both 34, were captured Saturday night without incident at the Coconut Grove Motor Inn in Panama City Beach, a touristy area of putt-putt courses and gokart tracks. Hours earlier, their families had held a news conference in Orlando — 300 miles away — urging them to surrender.

“While the manhunt is over, there is still a lot that we do not know. I can tell you, there will be more arrests,” Florida Department of Law Enforcement Commissioner Gerald Baily told a news conference Sunday. Bailey said authorities will be interviewing the two prisoners all day. “We will be backtracking to those who helped carry out this fraud and along the way we will be looking closely at anyone who may have helped harbor these fugitives.”

A woman who answered the phone at the motel said she saw police coming and they went into room 227. After authorities left, the parking lot of the two-story motel next to Big Willy’s Swimwear was mostly empty. Bailey said the men had been in the area for two days.

The two prisoners had not been traveling together, but hooked up once word of the forgeries became public and traveled from Orlando to Panama City, said

Frank Chiumento (Sha MENTO), chief of the U.S. Marshals Service for Florida and the Caribbean.

Chiumento told The Associated Press on Sunday that Joseph Jenkins and Charles Walker knew their time on the run was limited once their ruse had been uncovered. They were under surveillance for about two and a half days, and the men were surprised when authorities finally knocked on their motel door.

Both appeared briefly in court Sunday on the escape charges. They were both being held without bond, and were scheduled to make another appearance Friday.

Jenkins has a court-appointed lawyer, but Charles Walker declined to fill out the application to get a court-appointed lawyer.

Bailey said authorities were able to track down the men through interviews with people who visited them at the prison, called them there or made deposits into their canteen account. Those people included relatives, ex-girlfriends and others, he said.

“The key piece of this was an individual or individuals that had made deposits into their canteen accounts at the prison,” Bailey said.

Jenkins and Walker were both serving life sentences at the Franklin Correctional Facility in the Panhandle before they walked free without anyone realizing the paperwork, complete with case numbers and a judge’s forged signature, was bogus. The documents seemingly reduced their life sentences to 15 years.

Arab League: Syria conference planned for Nov. 23 BEIRUT (AP) — An international conference aimed at ending Syria’s civil war is planned for Nov. 23, the head of the Arab League said Sunday, although the U.N. envoy to Syria said the date has yet to be finalized and that peace talks will not be held “without a credible opposition.”

For months, the United States and Russia have been working to bring the Damascus government and Syria’s divided opposition to Geneva to discuss a political solution to the civil war, but the meeting has been repeatedly postponed. Even now, it remains unclear whether either side is really willing to negotiate while the conflict, now in its third year, remains deadlocked.

The main Western-backed opposition umbrella group, the Syrian National Coalition, is scheduled to meet Nov. 1 to decide whether or not to attend the proposed Geneva conference.

One of the most prominent factions within the Coalition, the Syrian National Council, has said it has no faith in such talks and won’t attend.

Many rebel fighters on the ground flatly refuse to negotiate with the regime. The government, meanwhile, has refused to talk with the armed opposition.

Speaking at Arab League headquarters in Cairo, League chief Nabil Elaraby said the Geneva conference would be held on Nov. 23. He added that “many difficulties” face the proposed peace talks, but stressed that “it’s time that the killings and the bloodshed stopped.”

The Arab League-U.N. envoy to Syria, Lakhdar Brahimi, struck a more cautious tone and emphasized that the timing of the conference is not yet set. He said he must first visit Qatar and Turkey — two key supporters of the rebellion — and then meet with U.S. and Russian officials in Geneva before a final date will be announced.

On the key issue of who will take part in the talks, Brahimi said the negotiations “will not be held without a credible opposition, representing an important part of opposition within Syrian people.”

But at the same time, he said: “It is not important that all — either armed or non-armed opposition — join in the meeting as those who won’t participate will be included in Geneva 2 subsequent phase.”

Now in its third year, Syria’s conflict has killed more than 100,000 people, devastated the nation’s economy and forced some 2 million Syrians to seek refuge abroad.

The Geneva talks have been put off repeatedly for months, in part because of fundamental disagreements over Assad’s fate.

In the past, the Coalition has said that it will only negotiate if it is agreed from the start that Assad will leave power before the transition period can begin.

The regime has rejected demands for Assad to leave, saying the president will stay at least until the end of his term in mid2014, and he will decide then whether to seek re-election. The regime has refused to negotiate with the armed opposition.

Islam Alloush, a spokesman for one rebel group, Liwaa al-Islam,

said that holding a conference that involved the Syrian regime could make the conflict worse, by emboldening government forces to act more harshly on the ground.

“This is very, very sensitive.

We have to be extremely careful,” Alloush said. “It could produce more negative results.”

While the international community tried to convene peace talks, the fighting on the ground has shown no sign of abating.

On Sunday, rebels drove a truck laden with more than a ton of explosives into a government checkpoint on the outskirts of the central city of Hama, the state news agency SANA said.

A nearby truck carrying gasoline cylinders was caught up in the explosion, prompting a series of other blasts. Footage aired on Syrian television showed rubble, fires, and bodies on the ground.

The British-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the al-Qaida-linked Jabhat al-Nusra carried out the attack.

Both SANA and the Observatory said at least 30 people were

killed.

It was the second deadly assault on a government post in two days. On Saturday, rebels led by fighters from Jabhat al-Nusra set off a car bomb while assaulting a checkpoint near Damascus, killing 16 soldiers.

The high-profile role played

by Jabhat al-Nusra and other alQaida-linked militants, who have become some of the most powerful rebel factions and do not acknowledge the Western-backed Coalition, underscores the challenges of brokering a political settlement to the conflict.

Also Sunday, activists said they were still searching for news of imprisoned Syrian women who Lebanese officials say were to be freed as part of an ambitious three-way hostage release deal implemented.

A pro-government Syrian newspaper, al-Watan, said Sunday that 128 women were released, citing “media sources.”

But Syrian activists contacted throughout the country said they had not been able to confirm if any women were freed.

Get fit without blowing a bundle NEW YORK (AP) — It’s easy to lose weight by joining a fancy gym or exercise class — in your wallet, at least.

But since everyone can’t afford pricey fitness programs, it’s fortunate that there are cheaper options to get in shape: — Look online. There are lots of exercise tips, videos and workout plans online, it just takes a little sleuthing to find quality information. Jenna Bergen, Prevention magazine’s fitness editor, recommends web sites like dailyburn.com, which streams a variety of workouts, from dance to Pilates to cardio, for $10 a month. Other sites to check out for streaming classes include gaiam.tv and yogaglo.

“What’s cool about these sites

is if you don’t live in a city and have access to good classes, these give access to top instructors,” Bergen says.

— Use free smartphone apps.

There are many apps designed to help you get in shape. Bergen recommends apps including Tabata Trainer, a $1.99 interval training app focused on high intensity short bursts of exercise; Yog, a free app that helps you plan a run with anyone anywhere in the world in real time; and Nike (NYSE:NKE) Training Club’s free app that features 100 strength workouts. Prevention magazine also has an app for the iPad called Flat-Belly Express for $2.99.

— Check stores, parks departments and local recreation

centers for inexpensive classes. Stores such as Lululemon, Reebok and Nike stores often offer free yoga and other classes.

Senior programs at the YMCA or YWCA can also be good options. And state and national parks often offer exercise classes. “There are tremendous facilities all over the country,” says Dr. Michael Joyner, an exercise researcher at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, N.Y. — Use outdoor gyms. In a growing trend around the country, some parks have outdoor fitness equipment. These so-called “adult playgrounds” can be accessed for free. The outdoor fitness equipment can include seats with bike pedals, chin-up bars, elliptical trainers, leg-press

machines and other weatherproof equipment.

— Check with your employer.

Many companies are beefing up the incentives they offer employees to get in shape. Check with your employer to see if you can get gym membership discounts, free nutritionist visits, health coaching and other perks.

— Walk or run. Walking is the easiest and cheapest workout there is. And it works, says Bergen, with Prevention magazine, who suggested signing up for a 5K to get motivation to stick with it.

“Walking is an amazing workout,” Bergen says. “If you can do five to ten minutes two or three times a day, it can make a huge difference in your energy level.”

Roll out a good massage Sally Anderson Tampa Bay Times

A deep-tissue massage helps to relieve muscle soreness and joint stress, but it does come with a price tag. This is not to suggest you eliminate massages, but to share with you an inexpensive technique, using a foam roller that will release muscle tightness, to get you through until your next massage appointment.

The foam roller not only stretches muscles and tendons, but also breaks down soft-tissue adhesions and scar tissue that can limit everyday movement.

The now-popular foam rollers were originally associated with elite athletes and physical therapists, but have since graduated into gyms, Pilates studios, yoga classes and the home.

You will be using your own body weight by lying on the roller and moving back and forth on selected areas you want to target; pressure may be controlled by putting more or less body weight on the rollers. Foam rollers are cylinder-shaped, highdensity foam that come in varying lengths, shapes and firmness. The cost ranges from $12 to $40, and they may be found online or at most any sportinggoods store.

Exercises: Hamstring (back of thighs) and calves: Sitting, place roller under back of thighs. With hands

SHNS Photo Marga Menzies demonstrates a foam-roller workout for hamstrings and calves.

on floor behind you, lift buttocks slightly off floor. Slowly roll back and forth from buttocks to back of knees. For calf muscles, place roller under calves. Lift hips slightly, using hands for support, and roll from below knee to ankle.

Quadriceps (front of thighs): Place roller under front of thighs, with lower arms resting on floor, head in alignment with spine, eyes facing downward. Contract abdominals to prevent the lower back from sagging. Using arms, roll back and forth from bottom

of hip to top of knee.

Back and chest: This is an awesome stretch for posture. Lie on a long foam roller, shoulders and hips in alignment and spine straight, knees bent and feet on floor to prevent stressing lower back, head supported by foam roller. Place a pillow or small towel under your head if you need more support. Allowing arms to fall to the sides, palms up, will stretch the chest. Taking deep breaths, relax for several minutes. Be aware that lying on a foam roller should never be

painful. A good alternative for stretching exercises would be half rollers, as one side of the roller has a solid base.

How to Use Foam Rollers: 1. Always warm up muscles before beginning.

2. Place roller under soft-tissue area you want to target to release tension.

3. Always roll on soft tissue.

Avoid rolling over bones or joints.

4. To roll with less pressure when working the lower body, sit near end of roller and roll with one leg.

5. Gently, roll back and forth over targeted area five to 10 times.

6. When you find a noticeably tight area, hold that position a few seconds, until it begins to soften.

7. If an area is too painful for direct pressure, work the area around it.

8. Drink water when finished.

9. If you have any chronic pain or cardiovascular issues, check with your physician before beginning a foam-roller workout.

If you are 50 or older and have not been exercising, check with your physician before beginning any exercise program. Trainer Sally Anderson is happy to hear from readers but cannot respond to individual queries. She can be reached at slafit@tampabay. rr.com.

Food issues often misunderstood Lavinia Rodriguez Tampa Bay Times

We make assumptions about people all the time and even may act on those assumptions.

But sometimes our assumptions are wrong, and I have found that’s particularly true when it comes to beliefs about people who are obese or have eating disorders.

My patients who struggle with food and weight share the most intimate details of their lives with me. They reveal what it is like to be seriously misunderstood by so many.

On a recent plane trip, I observed an obese young woman struggling to get out of a window seat while annoyed fellow passengers waited.

As she tried her best to hurry, the despair plain on her face, her movements caused her jeans to slip down a little and her top to ride up, exposing

some of her body.

Despair turned to humiliation as she frantically tried to cover herself while also trying to get out of everyone’s way.

Once she made it to the gate, the young woman looked close to tears.

If she is at all like many of the patients I treat, her emotional struggles didn’t start or end that day. Living with obesity in a society that makes the wrong assumptions can be difficult and isolating.

A frequent false belief is that obese people don’t care about themselves and choose to eat too much when they could easily stop. Closely related to this is the assumption that obese people are lazy.

Nothing could be further from the truth.

I have spoken with many obese people who constantly criticize themselves. They think con-

stantly of their weight and wish it were different. They constantly search for new diets and strategies, and they blame themselves when they don’t work.

Even obese individuals who don’t experience this kind of self-inflicted emotional pain still must contend with treatment based on beliefs that are plainly wrong.

False assumptions about people with anorexia and bulimia also are rampant. Since these folks are usually thin or normal weight, those around them often assume nothing’s wrong.

In fact, what they may see is a high-achiever, an attractive person who seems to have it all together. There may be no sign of the emotional pain within until thinness turns to emaciation, or binge and purge behaviors become too obvious to ignore.

Even once the disorder is discovered, emotional reality is disregarded by false assumptions. All an anorexic needs to do is eat a little more, many people believe. All a bulimic needs is a little self-control over bingeing and purging.

But patients who suffer from these conditions frequently are filled with anxiety and fear of losing control, not just over food, but over any number of frightening emotions they’ve tried to contain for most of their lives. They must deal with low self-esteem, selfrejection and criticism — even if they appear thin, beautiful and completely together.

This emotional turmoil has usually been going on for years before any problem is detected.

Jumping to conclusions about another person’s life is never smart. What is smart is learning to

question our assumptions. If we look within, we’ll acknowledge that we all have issues and emotions we don’t share.

We may know what it’s like to be badly misunderstood, and even rejected or dismissed.

Try to summon up those feelings if you feel tempted to judge someone based on their appearance — negatively or positively. You might share a lot more in common with the woman struggling out of a tight plane seat — or the woman in the next row who looks perfectly put together — than you know.

On hearing loss and sound research Lee Bowman

Scripps Howard News Service

Hearing loss can come from decades of exposure to loud music at concerts or on earphones, or from a single loud bomb blast or industrial explosion.

Damage starts with sustained noise levels of about 85 decibels, equal to the racket of a hair dryer or food blender. Improvised explosive devices pack something like 170 decibels. So a single blast can deliver as much damage as results from lower levels of noise exposure over time.

But researchers studying mechanisms of hearing loss in mice are discovering that it may be possible to reverse or prevent damage to the microscopic hair-like cells, or cilia, inside the ear that make hearing pos-

sible.

Loud explosions don’t actually destroy the cochlea — the auditory portion of the inner ear — but instead damage the cilia and nerve cells that help convert and send along to the brain the nerve impulses representing sounds, Stanford University researchers noted in findings published in the journal PLOS One in July.

The work was supported mainly by the Defense Department. More than 60 percent of service members wounded in action have injuries to their eardrums, tinnitus — ringing in the ears — hearing loss or a combination of the three, according to the researchers.

They exposed anesthetized mice to loud blasts and then looked at the inner workings of the rodents’ ears.

Inside the cochlea, they found some hair cells and nerve cells were damaged, the rest destroyed.

Once scar tissue forms, it limits the ability of any remaining hair cells to vibrate and pick up sounds. But if the body’s immune response and inflammation around the damage could be stopped quickly or slowed, it might limit the damage and retain some hearing, the researchers said.

A second study showed that an experimental drug was able to at least partially regenerate cilia in mice that were completely deaf, researchers at Massachusetts Eye and Ear Hospital and Harvard Medical School reported in the journal Neuron in January.

The drug, labeled LY411575, works by blocking a protein. Called Notch, it ordinarily prevents stem cells, which

normally function to support the hair cells, from becoming new cilia within the cochlea.

The study confirmed that the cells were generated from differentiating stem cells. And brain scans showed the new cells partially restored hearing in the mice. Though the their hearing fell far short of the normal range, the rodents could detect loud noise at low frequency, like a door slamming or a thunderclap.

Finally, in September, researchers from the Hearing Research Center at the Oregon Health and Science University, again working with mice, found that injections of a protein prior to noise exposure at 120 decibels caused cells within the ear to change how they arranged themselves in response to loud noise.

Nugent nails it Former OSU kicker lifts Bengals past Lions, 27-24 DETROIT (AP) — Andy Dalton and Matthew Stafford combined to throw a lot of highlight-worthy passes — especially to A.J. Green and Calvin Johnson.

But the Cincinnati Bengals used superior special teams for a second straight hardfought road win, 27-24 against the Detroit Lions on Sunday.

Mike Nugent’s 54-yard field goal as time expired won it, but two punts and a blocked field goal also were crucial.

“We wrote a pretty good script there at the end,” Bengals coach Marvin Lewis

said.

The AFC North-leading Bengals (5-2) won a game for the second straight week by the same score thanks to Nugent’s right foot. He made an overtime kick to give Cincinnati a win after it blew a 14-point, fourth-quarter lead at Buffalo.

“I love how confident everyone always is,” Nugent said.

“Nobody freaks out. I think it all begins with (Marvin Lewis) because he and his staff don’t get too high or too low.”

Troy to host big XC meet Saturday Many local runners qualified for the regional cross country meet, which will be held this coming Saturday in Troy.

In Division I, the Troy boys qualified for regional as a team. In Division II, the Tippecanoe girls and boys teams — which both won district titles on Saturday at Miami Valley CTC — will look to earn

The Division III regional is always packed with local runners, and this year is no exception.

Pretty neat face-off in this World Series.

Cardinals-Red Sox, once again in October.

Fully rested, they’ll start Wednesday night at Fenway Park with Boston opening as a slim favorite.

Postseason stars from past and present — Carlos Beltran, David Freese, John Lackey, David Ortiz and Adam Wainwright.

Juicy plotlines — can Gold Glove catcher Yadier Molina shut down Jacoby Ellsbury and the runnin’ Red Sox? Can all-world closer Koji Uehara stop Matt Holliday and the Cardinals?

Plus, plenty of history — think Stan Musial vs. Ted Williams in 1946, Bob Gibson vs.

Carl Yastrzemski in ‘67 or Pedro Martinez vs.

Albert Pujols in 2004. Or, perhaps more memorably that last time, Curt Schilling and the bloody sock vs. The Curse.

The Red Sox and Cardinals are hardly arch enemies, however. They haven’t played since Kevin Youkilis homered over the Green Monster in the 13th inning on June 22, 2008.

This year, Boston and St. Louis bounced back from disappointments and tied for the most victories in the majors with 97. Not since the Braves

and Yankees in 1999 have league win leaders met in the World Series (the Cardinals and Red Sox were the top-scoring teams in their leagues, too).

Mike Napoli, Shane Victorino and Boston’s scraggly band rose under first-year manager John Farrell, a season after the team hit bottom under Bobby Valentine with its most losses in nearly five decades.

Matt Carpenter, Matt Adams and St. Louis rebounded a year after wasting a 3-1 lead in the NL championship series against the Giants.

Manager Mike Matheny got lots of help from a rookie-laden staff.

Wacha was the MVP of the NLCS and is 3-0 with an 0.43 ERA in the postseason. Rosenthal took over the closer role with a 100 mph fastball. Shelby Miller, Carlos Martinez and others also made major contributions.

The Cardinals captured their 19th NL pennant by trouncing Clayton Kershaw and the Dodgers on Friday night in Game 6 of the NLCS. “Watching them last night, they’ve got a fantastic team. And a lot of young power arms that will walk to that mound,” Farrell said.

The Red Sox earned their 13th pennant Saturday night, riding Victorino’s go-ahead grand slam to a 5-2 victory over Detroit in Game See WORLD | 13

Rodgers finished 25 for 36 in methodically carving up Cleveland (3-4) despite already being without two of his top targets in injured receivers James Jones and Randall Cobb.

Then Finley left with about 10 minutes to go with a neck injury after a late hit

Nugent From page 11 an 11-point, third-quarter deficit and looked as if they did enough to send the game to OT, but rookie Sam Martin shanked a punt just 28 yards to midfield in the final minute.

“I thought they were going to try blocking the punt and I rushed myself,” Martin said. “I was trying to put the ball on the sideline and keep it away from the returner and I pulled it.”

Dalton threw two short passes to gain 15 yards and called the team’s last timeout with 4 seconds left to set up Nugent’s game-winning field goal.

“Pretty clutch kick, two weeks in a row,” Dalton said.

Dalton was pretty good again, too.

He was 24 of 34 for 372 yards, the third-highest total of his career and threw three touchdown passes for the second straight game. He didn’t have an interception to help him reach a careerhigh 135.9 QB rating.

After Dalton was sacked for the first and only time Sunday, Bengals punter Kevin Huber hit a perfect, 45-yard punt that pinned Detroit to its 6 with 1:43 left.

“We were in a tough spot,” Stafford said. “If we would have dropped back in a pass play on that first play, I would have been in my own end zone.”

The Lions gained just 17 yards, then Martin sent a punt out of bounds at the Bengals 49.

“I told him what I told the rest of the team,” Detroit coach Jim Schwartz said. “This is a tough, bitter loss, and we need to learn from these mistakes and not make them again.”

Detroit will work on ways to avoid allowing a player to bust through the middle of its line on a field goal because that’s what Carlos Dunlap did when he blocked David Aker’s

kick from the Cincinnati 16, leading to a return that gave the Bengals the ball at the Detroit 40 with 2:17 left in first half.

Dalton took advantage, lofting a 12-yard pass into the back of the end zone, where only Marvin Jones could catch it with 41 seconds left in the first half.

“The biggest turnaround in the game was the blocked field goal because it ended up being a 10-point swing,” Schwartz said.

Stafford was 28 of 51 for 357 yards with three TDs and didn’t throw an interception.

Johnson caught nine passes for 155 yards and two TDs, the second of which was one of the most impressive of his career because he leaped to catch a 50-yard pass while surrounded by three Bengals in the end zone to make it 24-all early in the fourth.

“It was one of the best catches I have ever seen,” Stafford said.

The Bengals had a pretty good pitch-and-catch combination, too.

Cincinnati scored the first time it had the ball when Dalton connected with Green on an 82-yard TD, the second-longest pass of his career, after the receiver got past cornerback Chris Houston.

Green finished with six catches and 155 yards receiving.

“I put this loss on me, not anybody else,” said Houston, who was benched for part of the game.

NOTES: Bengals CB Leon Hall left the game early with an Achilles tendon injury. “It seems pretty significant,” Lewis said. … The Lions lost starting OTs Riley Reiff (hamstring) and Corey Hilliard (knee) during the game, but Reiff was able to return. … Bengals DT Devon Still (elbow) and Lions CB Rashean Mathis (groin) were also hurt.

World From page 11 6 of the ALCS. Uehara was the MVP with a win and three saves.

“It’s been a special ride,” Pedroia said, “and we’re still going.”

For Beltran, this will be his first time in the World Series. For the Cardinals, it’s their fourth trip in 10 years.

For the Red Sox, it’s their third Series visit in the last decade. And they hope for a repeat performance from 2004, when they never trailed during a four-game sweep of the Cardinals and won their first championship since 1918.

Johnny Damon playfully called his Boston teammates a bunch of “idiots” and Kevin Millar exhorting them to “Cowboy Up!” Manny Ramirez was the MVP of the series while Ortiz showed he

Browns

was more than a slugger, switching from designated hitter to snazzy fielder at first base when the Series shifted to old Busch Stadium.

There are just a few leftovers from that fall.

Ortiz lined a key grand slam in this ALCS. Molina is now regarded as baseball’s best defensive catcher — he was 21 in that ‘04 matchup and a backup to Matheny.

Now, their teams are set to meet for the fourth time in a World Series.

Aside from DodgersYankees, there hasn’t been a more common pairing since that initial Red Sox-Cardinals meeting in 1946.

Here we go again.

“We’ve still got one more step,” Victorino said.

From page 11 Cobb out, finished with eight catches for 103 yards.

The Browns did have two nice fourth-quarter kickoff returns that helped set up drives into Green Bay territory, including an 80-yarder

by Travis Benjamin that led to Cameron’s score.

Otherwise, bad luck lingered over the Browns like the dark clouds that drenched Lambeau Field with a steady shower most of the game.

On an earlier drive, a fourth-down pass from the 31 to Josh Gordon was broken up after Davon House reached up to knock the ball loose at the last second. House also had the first-quarter interception of Weeden.

Still, Green Bay penalties kept the Browns in the game well into the second half. Tramon Williams’ sack of Weeden on a corner blitz was negated by 15-yard face mask penalty on A.J. Hawk.

But Cleveland settled for a 44-yard field goal from Billy

Cundiff to make it 17-6.

Penalties had bogged down the Packers after jumping out to a 14-point halftime lead. Good thing they got off to such a hot start.

Rodgers connected with Finley for a 7-0 lead after the athletic, 6-foot-5 tight end spun around one defender, then caromed off two others like a pinball into the end zone. A Lambeau leap was next, of course.

Lacy followed on the next drive with a 1-yard score to give Green Bay a twotouchdown lead.

It looked as if the Packers were pulling away for an easy victory, especially with Cleveland receivers dropping passes in the first half on a dreary evening.

The Browns couldn’t muster anything on the ground, either, against the Packers’ tough run defense.

Willis McGahee had 11 carries for 39 yards.

Buckeyes falter at times but keep streak going After barely slowing the Hawkeyes down in the first half, the defense did make some critical plays afterward even thought it was gashed for an 85-yard touchdown from Jake Rudock to Jake Duzey that tied the game at 24 heading into the fourth quarter.

Ohio State’s offense suddenly started controlling the line of scrimmage and running at will — Carlos Hyde had 106 of his 143 yards after the break and both of his touchdown runs.

At the same time, the defense stiffened. Iowa’s four secondhalf possessions ended with two punts and Tyvis Powell’s interception in addition that long doozy to Duzey.

The Buckeyes had started extraordinarily fast in each of their four non-conference games which, granted, were played against teams that were lopsided underdogs. Since then, however, the Buckeyes have taken a while to get going in conference games.

“We have to start fast,” linebacker Curtis Grant said. “The defense is at our best when we start fast, and we feed off the momentum. We didn’t do that today and we didn’t put it all together until the second half — and that can’t happen.”

stuff. He knows that even though few have much regard for the Big Ten or Ohio State’s nonconference schedule, it’ll be hard to turn away the Buckeyes at the end of the season if they have a zero in the loss column.

“I try to stay away from that,” Meyer said of all the peripheral talk. “I want us to be one step closer to where we want to go.

Where we want to go is to beat Penn State.”

The Buckeyes (7-0, 3-0) host the Nittany Lions (4-2, 1-1), who were idle last week, on Saturday at Ohio Stadium.

After that the Buckeyes have only one remaining home game, playing three of their final four on the road with another bye week thrown in.

This week the coaching staff will undoubtedly be cranky about the defensive effort and another plodding start.

Iowa (4-3, 1-2) led 10-3 after a quarter and 17-10 at the half.

By that point the Hawkeyes had outgained the Buckeyes 222-189, had a 17-9 bulge in first downs and had controlled the ball 6 minutes longer.

Then came halftime.

“I’m more of a yeller and screamer,” Meyer said. “(Then I) let the defensive coaches make their adjustments.”

COLUMBUS (AP) — No. 4 Ohio State’s not perfect — except for its record.

“We don’t want to lose,” linebacker Ryan Shazier said after a closer-than-expected 34-24 win over Iowa on Saturday. “We know someone might make a mistake but we’ve got his back.”

Mistakes were made, but the bottom line is no matter how they play or who they play the Buckeyes just keep winning under coach Urban Meyer.

They have all kinds of streaks going — three tight conference wins in a row, a perfect 7-0 mark this season and a nation’s best 19 consecutive victories.

At the same time, they haven’t been overpowering in Big Ten play — their three wins are by seven points, 10 (with a lastsecond touchdown) and 10 — and that’s not enough to convert poll-voting doubters or the computers that analyze teams in the Bowl Championship Series.

That’s the biggest reason why the Buckeyes remain No. 4 in The Associated Press media poll and the USA Today coaches poll.

The latter factors into the BCS rankings which determine the two teams who will play in the national championship game.

For now, Meyer isn’t worrying about any of that extraneous

Alabama and Florida State hold the top two spots in the first BCS standings of the season.

Oregon was a close third behind second-place Florida State.

The Seminoles (.9348 BCS average) are coming off their biggest win of the season, a 51-14 victory at previously unbeaten Clemson.

The Ducks (.9320) have only played one team that was ranked at the time,

but could get a boost in the next two weeks with games against UCLA and at Stanford.

Ohio State is a more distant fourth, followed

by Missouri in the standings released Sunday night.

The top two teams in the final standings after the end of the regular season play in the Rose Bowl for the national title in January.

Alabama is a comfortable No. 1 on the strength of being top-ranked by a wide margin in both the USA Today coaches’ poll and Harris poll. The twotime defending champion Crimson Tide is second in the computer ratings.

If the Tide can stay unbeaten, it should reach the BCS championship game for the third straight year and for the fourth time in five seasons.

The polls count for twothirds of a BCS grade.

Florida State is No. 1 in the computer ratings and third in each poll. Oregon is second in the polls and fourth in the computers.

The race between the Ducks and Florida State is shaping up to be a close one if both keep winning.

The Seminoles still must play unbeaten Miami, rival Florida and potentially in the ACC championship game, which could be a rematch with Miami or maybe a game against Virginia Tech (6-1).

In addition to Oregon’s next two tough games, the Ducks play Oregon State and potentially the Pac-12 title game against perhaps UCLA or Arizona State.

Ohio State is probably relegated to hoping for the teams in front of it to fall. The Big Ten is not affording the Buckeyes many opportunities for resume-boosting victories.

Stanford was sixth and Miami seventh. Unbeaten Baylor starts the BCS race eighth.

Only twice since the BCS started in 1998 have the top two teams in the first standings played in the title game.

The BCS is in its final season. It will be replaced by a four-team playoff next season.
