LIMA — For years, corn ethanol has been a centerpiece of America’s green energy strategy.

An Associated Press investigation found the ethanol era has proved far more damaging to the environment than the government has acknowledged.

In Ohio, for instance, farmers planted 750,000 more acres of corn last year than they did the year before the ethanol mandate was passed. About 6,500 acres of conservation land were lost, according to the AP. Advocates for the industry in Ohio dispute the findings, saying the AP’s calculation is wrong

that conservation ground has been lost to corn production for ethanol.

“The assertion that farmers are taking virgin land to make more corn for ethanol, it’s just not happening. It can’t happen,” Ohio Corn & Wheat Executive Director Tadd Nicholson said.

Just after the ethanol mandate went into effect in 2007, the federal government also lowered the acreage that could be kept in the Conservation Reserve Program, Nicholson said.

“I can see why you’d draw some assumptions, but the government put a new cap on the land, which brought some of the land back into production,”

Nicholson said.

At the same time, farmers have responded to the market and higher corn prices and planted more corn. The higher prices have come from more demand, which includes ethanol production, but it also includes drought conditions and poor production.

“The price has gone up, so farmers have planted more corn, but it hasn’t come at the expense of virgin land,” Nicholson said.

“The market will move again and farmers will plant more soybeans and wheat. It shifts back and forth all the time in agriculture.”

Northwest Ohio is home to two ethanol production facilities, Guardian in Lima and Poet

Biorefining in Leipsic.

The Lima facility employs about 30 people and the Leipsic facility employs about 40 people.

Much of the ethanol produced at the two plants results from corn grown in the region. The neighboring Husky Lima Refinery and other refineries in Ohio are customers of Guardian.

Guardian Plant Manager Tracy Olson declined comment on the story, because he had not yet seen The Associated Press report.

Poet’s General Manager Mark Borer is also president of the Ohio Ethanol Producers Association.

Farm owner gives tips on preparing holiday bird

Melody Vallieu

Staff Writer vallieu@tdnpublishing.com

NEW CARLISLE — Other areas of the country may be experiencing a shortage of birds this Thanksgiving, but locally we’re still talking turkey.

Thanks to Bowman & Landes, the local turkey farm located at 6490 E. Ross Road, area residents can still enjoy their favorite tom — or hen — this season.

Carl Bowman, one of four owners of the 65-year-old farm, said not that there

haven’t been trials this season in the turkey growing business — because there definitely have been.

Bowman said not only do more people seem to want more turkeys this year, but the turkeys didn’t cooperate as well as in past years. He said the small turkeys got too big and the big turkeys didn’t get big enough, making it a bit harder to provide the array of turkeys he’s used to offering.

“Every year it’s a little different. It’s been a tight market this year,” he said.

MIAMI COUNTY — For most gardeners, harvest ended weeks ago. All the bounty of the garden has been frozen or canned to be enjoyed through the winter months.

For one local man, harvest is a grand affair.

Josh Scherer, of Piqua, holds the World Wide Giant Growers’ Record for the largest cantaloupe grown in 2013.

Scherer, a member of the World Wide Giant Growers organization was notified on Nov. 15 that he grew the world’s largest Carolina Giant Cantaloupe this year.

The fruit weighed 47 pounds.

“It was grown organi-

cally, too,” Scherer said. “I just used beneficial bacteria and fungicides and just left it alone.”

This year’s record holder’s 47-pound cantaloupe isn’t the largest fruit Scherer has grown. Scherer holds the state record for cantaloupe with a fruit that weight 50.5 pounds a few years ago.

Scherer said all six of the garden’s cantaloupe plants fared well. Scherer also said organic practices with the fruit have benefited the growth of the fruit as well.

Scherer said the 2013 record breaking cantaloupe was weighed by Crop Production Services of Kirkwood.

Scherer is not a stranger to giant fruits and vegetables. He started the hobby several years ago after a

neighbor who grew giant pumpkins shared a few secrets. His garden is full of giants including pumpkins, gourds and other hefty fruits and vegetables.

His daughter Anna Ray won this year’s Bradford Pumpkin Show with a 358pound pumpkin, which means a lot of pumpkin pie being served at the Thanksgiving table this year.

Scherer won $750 and a plaque for his green thumb this month. Scherer said after he submitted the weight of the cantaloupe to officials, he “took a few bits of it” and did what any other county boy would do.

“I took a few bites of it, saved all the seeds and fed the rest to the chickens,” he said.

Turkey From page 1 “But, in the end, we’re gonna work this out and certainly people will be extremely happy with the delicious, tender, juicy turkey we can provide for their holiday celebration.”

Bowman said the business, started in 1948, has sold 35,000 — and counting — free range, antibiotic free turkeys already this season.

The turkeys come fresh from one of seven flocks they raise annually, he said. Baby turkeys, called poults, are started in climate controlled barns, Bowman said. As the turkeys mature, they are moved to an outdoor range where they are provided with feeders, waterers and shelters.

The vegetable-fed turkeys thrive on the open range, he said, where they have plenty of room to roam in the fresh air and sunshine.

A male turkey, or tom, is raised to market age in 18-20 weeks. A female, or hen, is raised in 14-17 weeks of age.

Bowman said people are experimenting with the way they prepare turkeys more than ever these days, including deep frying, grilling, brining and using cookers and smokers. Bowman said no matter how the bird is made, there are three easy rules to preparing a good turkey.

“No. 1, don’t overcook it. No. 2, don’t overcook it. And, No. 3, don’t overcook it,” he said, laughing.

Bowman, who predicts they will sell about a third as many turkeys for the Christmas season, said using a meat thermometer is a must

and the best guide he can provide is that the bird should be brought to a 170 degrees F in the thickest part of the breast and 175 degrees in the thigh.

“Turkey has so little fat, almost no marbling,” said Bowman, who co-owns the business with his, Anita Bowman Hamber, and the Landes brothers, Steve and Stan. “To good a nice, juicy bird in the end, you need to be dedicated with the cooking of a turkey.”

And, although Bowman spends his days raising turkeys, he can’t imagine not having one of the same at his holiday table.

“I would be really disappointed if I didn’t,” said Bowman, who said they also prepare several kinds of oysters for their meal. “Turkey, mashed potatoes and dressing are my favorite. Followed by a good, long nap.”

He also dispelled the myth that tryptophan, an amino acid in turkey, is what makes turkey gobblers so tired following the big feast.

“Turkey has a lot of trytophan, but not that much. I think it’s actually the mashed potatoes … and pie,” he said, again laughing.

The family-owned business, which already is grooming its next generation of turkey growers, has a retail store and market for purchasing product at its New Carlisle location.

• General turkey tips Buy the right size turkey: Whole turkey — 1 pound per person Turkey breast — 1/2 pound per person Thawing turkey — The quickest safe way to thaw a turkey is in cold water. Change the water every hour. This method takes approximately 30 minutes per pound. Another way to thaw it is in the refrigerator. Place your turkey on a tray and allow one to three days to thaw, depending on size. A third way is by placing it in a large paper bag, which will provide some insulation. Allow one hour per pound for thawing.

Storing turkey — Turkey can be held 3 to 4 days in the coldest part of the refrigerator. To hold an extra day or two, place in freezer for several hours to chill and then place in the refrigerator.

• Roasting the whole turkey To prepare — Discard plastic bag. Remove neck and giblets from body cavities, rinse turkey and wipe dry. Cook neck and giblets for broth, to add to dressing and for giblet gravy.

To roast — Place turkey with the breast up on a rack in a shallow roasting pan with approximately 1/2-inch water on the bottom. Brush with melted butter, if desired. Rub body cavity lightly with salt if roasting unstuffed. It is recommended that a meat thermometer be used. Place thermometer in the thickest part of the breast or thigh; the bulb should not touch any bone.

Cook at 450 degrees F uncovered for 45 minutes.

Cover and reduce the temperature to 325° F until meat thermometer registers 170 degrees F, using the chart below as a guide for length of roasting time. A “tent” of foil placed loosely over turkey may be used and will eliminate need for basting, although turkey may be basted if desired. Remove foil last half-hour for browning. If V-rack is used, place turkey breast down. Fat from back tends to permeate the breast meat to keep it from drying. NOTE: Our free-range turkeys do cook faster, especially when using a roaster, do check for doneness with a meat thermometer beginning one hour before the anticipated finish time.

• Turkey is done when: (a) roast-meat thermometer registers 170° to 175° F in the breast meat or 180° F in the thigh meat (b) juices are clear when probed with a knife or fork.

To stuff a turkey safely — Stuffing should be prepared and stuffed into the turkey immediately before it is placed in the oven for roasting. If preparing the stuffing ahead of time, wet and dry ingredients should be refrigerated separately and combined right before stuffing the turkey. Stuff the turkey loosely, about 3/4 cup stuffing per pound of turkey. Once the thermometer shows the correct reading for the turkey, move the thermometer to the center of the stuffing. The stuffing should reach 160° to 165° F before the turkey is removed from the oven.

• Turkey breast and boneless turkey roast To roast — Remove from bag; do not remove the netting from the roast. Place on rack in a shallow baking pan. Brush with melted butter or margarine (optional). Rub lightly with salt. Roast at 325° F until thermometer registers 170° to 175° F. If the breast or roast becomes too brown during roasting, cover loosely with foil. Allow to stand 20 to 30 minutes before slicing. Using cooking bags or the covered roaster method is also acceptable.

Brining For a flavorful and juicy alternative way of preparing your turkey or turkey breast, prepare a brine using: 1 cup brown sugar 1 cup kosher salt 1 gallon water 1 teaspoon rosemary 1 teaspoon thyme 1 sliced orange Put in a container (cooler, plastic bucket, cooking pot, etc.) for 8-12 hours (1 hour per pound), keeping it cold. Take turkey out of container, rinse and place in cooking container and cook as usual.

“Improved learning and the ability to then apply the information in the patient care area results in better patient outcomes,” she noted. Also on the UVMC campus, demolition began last week on portions of the former Dettmer Hospital building.

The area undergoing demolition is locat-

ed on the south end of the Dettmer structure and includes portions deemed too outdated for further use. Construction of the original Dettmer Hospital began more than 60 years ago, with nine major expansions and renovations added through 1991.

Acute care hospital services were discontinued in the 1980s, and the building had been used primarily for non-acute

care services and office space in subsequent years. UVMC Pastoral Care, Lifeline Services, EMS Education and Project Search will continue to be located in the remaining north portion of the Dettmer building.

The area being cleared on the south will be planted with grass and, with existing trees, will offer a park like environment.

“That’s extremely sustainable,” Borer said.

“You’re taking non-value feedstock and producing fuel from it.”

The EPA is soon expected to reduce the amount of ethanol required to be added to the gasoline supply. Ethanol interests are pushing back hard at the federal level against the decision, the AP said.

Borer and Nicholson said lowering the mandate level would be a bad idea

for the farming economy now and innovation in the future.

Borer said farmers being able to get a good price for their corn at ethanol facilities means they don’t need subsidies through the Farm Bill, and ethanol helps reduce dependence of foreign oil.

“It’s absolutely the wrong way to go,” Nicholson said. “The administration would be going backwards on its commitment to innovating. The signal sent by lowering the standard would be that we want to stop innovating, and that’s not where we want to go with energy policy.”

Farmers recognize their environmental responsibility, and balance that with a need to be economically viable, said Ohio Farm Bureau spokesman Joe Cornely. How farmers have responded to the algae issues at Grand Lake show that, Cornely said.

“We know we have a nutrient problem, and instead of throwing up their hands and saying, ‘This isn’t our fault,’ farmers have been aggressive in taking ownership of their share of the problem,” Cornely said. “Farmers recognize they have a responsibility to their neighbors to take care of our natural resources.”

One of Poet’s facilities is about to launch ethanol production at an Iowa facility from corn stalk and cob, essentially waste product from an agricultural perspective. The company is considering expanding the technology at its other facilities.

PIQUA — A pickup truck was struck by a freight train on Garbry Road early Sunday afternoon, leaving one man injured.

Piqua police say that an eastbound pickup truck was unable to stop in time to avoid an oncoming northbound train. Lt.

Bill Collins of the Piqua Police Department said that the driver apparently saw the train when it was about 100 yards away and attempted to stop but could not. Collins said that they are looking to determine if a medical condition could have possibly played a part in the crash.

The train struck the pickup on the right front and forced it off the high-

way, ripping a truck cap off and strewing items from the vehicle all over the surrounding area.

The engineer of the CSX train was not injured.

The name of the truck driver has not been released. He was transported to Upper Valley Medical Center with nonlife-threatening injuries.

The crash is under investigation by the Piqua Police Department.

The Republican of Springfield (Mass.), Nov. 20 Everything bad is good again. Until we are told by the experts that it has been changed back.

In our era, we’ve grown accustomed to having one study supersede another; to seeing one recipe for health turned completely on its head when another body of experts takes a second look at something that had seemed settled.

But it used to be that changes were years, or decades, in the making.

Not these days. Last week’s big news on cholesterol didn’t even make it through the weekend.

The headlines last week: Millions more may need statins to lower cholesterol.

The headlines on Monday: Never mind.

One problem with these kinds of changes, of course, is that the people will soon enough simply tune out.

It’s unfortunate because there are, in fact, a few verities, though it’s not a little difficult to get a handle on them when recommendations seem to come and go like the tides.

She was not, in truth, a consistent or consistently polished prose stylist. But she attempted, as she put it, “to break a form; to break certain forms of consciousness and go beyond them.”

She is best known for her 1962 breakthrough novel, “The Golden Notebook,” a multilayered narrative about an emotionally fragile single mother striving to make sense of her personal, professional and political life — much like Lessing herself at the time. “The Golden Notebook” has been called the founding novel of the feminist movement, avidly read by women seeking to raise their consciousness during the stirrings of the late 1960s and 1970s.

“The Golden Notebook for some reason surprised people but it was no more than you would hear women say in their kitchens every day in any country,” Lessing said somewhat dismissively of her most critically acclaimed and enduring book. When, in 2007, Lessing won the Nobel Prize at age 88 for a body of work that included dozens of novels and short stories, she was praised as “the epicist of the female experience” and as having “personified the woman’s role in the 20th century.”

Lessing, ever the contrarian, wasn’t much interested in accolades from the literary establishment; nor, ironically, was she all that sympathetic to popular feminism. She was irritated by the characterization of “The Golden Notebook” as a feminist work, according to the obituary in The New York Times, and she often had harsh words for WRITELater, TO US: when The Troy she Daily took News welcomes signeddystopian letters to the editor.

XXXXX Black Friday to be renamed Whack-o Friday XXXXX Oh, it would have to be in Ohio, wouldn’t it?

Those in the coastal parts of our country already think there is nothing between L.A. and New York except for dangerously inbred rednecks and corn. We who live here know there is far more than that. We have famous inventors, military bases brimming with the right stuff, and world-class football teams. We have spacious skies and amber waves of grain. True, there isn’t much grain right now and even mentioning grain sort of plays into the whole corn thing even though corn isn’t strictly a grain but try telling that to someone who thinks civilization ends at the New Jersey border.

So the good news is, Ohio is not the state with the senator arrested for doing cocaine while in an alcohol-induced haze.

(Disclaimer: this article is being written four days in advance of publication. It is entirely possible, if not probable, that one of our fine legislators will, in the intervening four days, distinguish him or herself by being hauled in

If he doesn’t have a job, how can he afford to spend hundreds of dollars on gifts? It’s all a big mystery and, as I mentioned, fraught with questions.

The subject had some sort of plan in place whereby friends would come and hold his spot in line while he dashed out to take a shower. Other details of hygiene and bodily functions were mercifully left unsaid but it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out things are going to get very unpleasant in that tent by November 29th. Let us hope his friends are more reliable than his math skills.

Horoscope HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Monday, Nov. 25, 2013: This year you focus on a long-term goal. Your friends also will play a significant role in your year. Recognize that you might be unduly serious at times. If you are single, you are strikingly visible to the person who might be your next sweetie. This person eventually will let you know how he or she feels. If you are attached, the two of you will enjoy being out and about as a couple, especially if you’re involved in a mutual commitment or cause.

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

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

Tonight: Do not bring your stress home with you.

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

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

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

Tonight: Go with the flow.

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

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

Tonight: Catch up on calls and emails.

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

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

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

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

heavyset female, and there are some parts of my body that I can’t reach to wash. Because of that, I have an odor that I hope no one else can smell, but I’m not sure. Is there any place where I could get these private parts shaved? I am sure that would help a lot. -- Ms. Bit Dear Ms. Bit: You would have to ask at a salon whether they would shave you. You might have better luck with a bikini wax. For permanent hair removal, you can check into laser therapy or electrolysis, although both require multiple treatments and are not inexpensive. In the meantime, look into installing a handheld shower sprayer and check online for easily available hygiene products geared toward those hard-toreach places. Please talk to your doctor about your weight and see whether you have a treatable medical condition, and ask for a referral to a dietician.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Tonight: Find your friends.

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

back and chill out. Imagine what it would be like to walk in the other party’s shoes. You will understand. Tonight: With a favorite person.

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

(AP) — A large storm already blamed for at least eight deaths in the West slogged through Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico and other parts of the Southwest on Sunday, leading to hundreds of flight cancellations as it slowly churned east ahead of Thanksgiving.

After the storm plows through the Southwest, meteorologists expect the Arctic mass to head south and east, threatening plans for Tuesday and Wednesday as people hit the roads and airports for some of the busiest travel days of the year.

More than 300 flights were cancelled at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport, representing about one-third of the scheduled departures, and a spokeswoman said deicing equipment had been prepared as officials planned for the worst in a flurry of conference calls and meetings.

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

The National Weather Service has issued a winter storm warning for chunks of North Texas from noon Sunday until midday Monday.

Parts of Oklahoma are also under a winter storm warning, while an advisory has been issued for other parts of the state. A mix of rain and sleet began falling north of Dallas on Interstate 35 by midday Sunday, and areas of southwestern Oklahoma woke up to several inches of snow.

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

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

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

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

Flagstaff in Arizona had 11 inches of snow by early Sunday, and was expected to get another inch by the end of the day before the storm petered out. Metro Phoenix and other parts of central Arizona received between 1 ½ to 2 ½ inches of rain over the course of the storm. The storms caused cancellations of sporting events and parades and damaged the roofs of homes across Arizona. In Tucson, firefighters on Friday recovered the body of a man who was swept away by high water in the Santa Cruz River.

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

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

At Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport, spokeswoman Cynthia Vega said most of the cancelled flights were in the afternoon and evening hours and were with American Airlines and American Eagle. The possibility of ice on the runways led to a series of conference calls and meetings early Sunday, she added, noting the airport had liquid and solid deicers ready for use.

Everything else pales as Michigan game approaches COLUMBUS (AP) — Ohio State defensive lineman Noah Spence is from Harrisburg, Pa. He wasn’t steeped in the enmity that grips fans of the Buckeyes and Wolverines about this time every year.

But now in his second season in the heart of Ohio, he has a good grasp of it now.

“It’s a huge rivalry even if you’re a guy from out of state like me,” he said.

Then he added, “It’s everything.”

Ohio State and Michigan clash for the 110th time on Saturday,

at Michigan Stadium. It’s already been a long, grueling season. But, as it should be, the best and biggest game has been saved for last.

Ohio State (11-0, 7-0), which moved up to No. 3 in all major rankings on Sunday, won its school-record 23rd straight game and also earned a spot in the Big Ten championship game with a 42-14 win over Indiana in snowglobe conditions at Ohio Stadium on Saturday.

Almost immediately, the Buckeyes’ thoughts turned to the opponent that — like Lord

Voldemort in the Harry Potter books — no one in Ohio refers to by name. Instead, they follow the lead of late coach/curmudgeon Woody Hayes and call it “That School (or Team) Up North.”

From a distance, it might look like a trap game: The Buckeyes have little to play for beyond holding on to what they’ve already got — an unbeaten season and conference and national title aspirations.

On top of that, the Wolverines (7-4, 3-4) have lost four of their last six games and have had major problems running the ball and

CLEVELAND (AP) — Their horrendous start has long been forgotten, erased with an equally unexpected turnaround.

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

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

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

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

That’s all we can control.”

Roethlisberger connected on a 41-yard TD pass to Brown in the first half, and hit Sanders on a 4-yarder in the third quarter for the Steelers, who only have a few days to get ready for a Thanksgiving game at Baltimore — a matchup that didn’t look as if it would be very meaningful a few weeks back.

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

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

“It’s homecoming, you know, a home game,” he said. “So it does feel good.”

The Browns (4-7) lost starting quarterback Jason Campbell to a concussion in the third quarter when he was sacked by corner-

back William Gay. Campbell was struck in the helmet by Gay and his head snapped back and banged the turf. He spent several moments flat on his back in the middle of the field, a symbolic moment for the Browns, who were smashed again by their AFC North rival.

In his first season, Browns coach Rob Chudzinski has cycled through three starting quarterback because of injuries. He had to play Brandon Weeden again and may have to start the beleaguered second-year QB next week against Jacksonville.

Weeden got booed when he came off the bench and things got tougher for him in the fourth, when Gay intercepted his pass and returned it 21 yards for a TD, giving the Steelers a 27-3 lead.

“You’ve just go to laugh at it,” Weeden said of the booing.

One bright spot for Cleveland was wide receiver Josh Gordon. He tied a team record with 14 receptions and set a club mark with 237 yards.

After losing to Minnesota on Sept. 29, the Steelers looked old, slow and a shell of themselves. Things didn’t look any better when they gave up 55 points and 610 yards to New England earlier this month.

But with three straight wins, they’re where they usually are when the schedule moves toward December.

“When we were 0-4, we knew we couldn’t get four straight wins in one week,” said rookie running back Le’Veon Bell, who gained 80 yards. “We had to chip away at it and take it one game at a time. Now we’re 5-6, so we’re just going to keep grinding and grinding.”

The Steelers have turned one of the NFL’s best rivalries into a laughable, one-sided affair, going 25-5 against the Browns since 1999.

North Carolina knocks off No. 3 Louisville Rivals Alabama, Auburn gear up for Top-5 matchup AUBURN, Ala. (AP) — Alabama quarterback AJ McCarron insists Auburn is merely “the next team in our way,” whatever the Tigers’ record.

UNCASVILLE, Conn. (AP) — Louisville came into Sunday’s game with No. 24 North Carolina riding high on a 21-game winning streak.

Coach Rick Pitino says he hopes the defending national champions leave with a bit of humility after a 93-84 loss to the Tar Heels in the final of the Hall of Fame Tipoff tournament.

“I think this loss is really good for us tonight,” he said. “I think that last year we were one of the most humble teams. To win 16 in a row you have to have great humility, not get stuck on yourselves.

And this type of defense, it was a lack of humility.”

It was also a lot of Marcus Paige. The UNC guard scored 32 points, putting up a career high

for the second straight day in the tournament. He had 26 Saturday in a win over Richmond.

Brice Johnson added 13 points and Kennedy Meeks had 13 points, 12 rebounds and seven assists for the Tar Heels (4-1), who lost a week ago at home to Belmont.

“We just wanted to come here and give better effort. We had a bad taste in our mouth, cause we had to watch the whole film of the Belmont game,” Paige said. “We wanted to come here with the mindset that we can change our season and get back in the right mind frame that we’re one of the best teams in the country if we play together and hard.”

Russ Smith had 36 points for Louisville (5-1). Chris Jones added 20 points.

It was a three-point game with just over 13 minutes left when Louisville’s Montrezl Harrell picked up his fourth foul. North Carolina scored the next eight points.

Harrell fouled out driving to the basket with 7 ½ minutes left, exiting the game with just five points and 10 rebounds. With the sophomore star out of the game, North Carolina pushed the lead to 16 points at 83-67, outmuscling the Cardinals under the basket.

“They weren’t good fouls, especially that fifth one” said Pitino.

“You give it to people open or you go around them, you don’t try to pull a Michael Jorden at that point.”

Harrell was coming off the first double-double of his career, a 14

point, 12 rebound effort in a 71-57 victory over Fairfield in the semifinals.

The 6-foot-8 sophomore from Tarboro North Carolina grew up idolizing Ty Lawson and Tyler Hansbrough, and was looking forward to playing against the Tar Heels, who did not heavily recruit him.

“I’m a local kid from that area and they didn’t offer me,” he said.

“You can’t dwell on things like that.

You’ve got to move on.

The teams combined for 50 fouls and that affected Louisville’s press, forcing the Cardinals to play further off their men.

North Carolina also thwarted Louisville’s transition game, getting several easy baskets by keeping a big man back near half court.

Rivals Alabama, Auburn gear up for Top-5 matchup AUBURN, Ala. (AP) — Alabama quarterback AJ McCarron insists Auburn is merely “the next team in our way,” whatever the Tigers’ record.

Auburn H-back Jay Prosch says preparation for this Iron Bowl has felt like any other game so far.

The hundreds of RVs already parked down the street from Jordan-Hare Stadium a week before kickoff offered a different perspective. Business-asusual denials aside, No. 1 Alabama and No. 4 Auburn are preparing for perhaps the biggest game ever in this rabid in-state rivalry on Saturday.

The teams that have hoarded the last four national titles have only met once before when both were ranked in the top five. No. 3 Alabama beat No. 5 Auburn and Heisman Trophywinning quarterback Pat Sullivan 31-7 in 1971.

Bear Bryant’s Crimson Tide then routed by No. 1 Nebraska 38-6 in the Orange Bowl.

Both teams are contenders going into this one, though Auburn (10-1, 6-1 Southeastern Conference) likely needs No. 3 Ohio State or No. 2 Florida State to lose.

Losses by Oregon and Baylor helped the Tigers move up a couple of spots in the shrinking line of title hopefuls, but the Iron Bowl winner still must get past either No. 5 Missouri or No.

AP Photo In this Sept. 7, 2013 file photo, Auburn head coach Gus Malzahn talks with his players in the first half of an NCAA college football game against Arkansas State in Auburn, Ala. Auburn will play Alabama this week in the “Iron Bowl.”

10 South Carolina in the SEC championship game.

Nick Saban’s Alabama team controls its own destiny in the program’s pursuit of a third straight BCS championship and fourth in five years.

McCarron insisted it was easy remaining focused on FCS Chattanooga last week and said the heightened stakes don’t change his approach to the game.

“I really don’t care what their record is,” he said.

“They’re still the next team in our way trying to take what we’ve worked for.”

Prosch offered a simi-

lar mind-set on preparing for the game, which is only the seventh top-10 matchup in a rivalry that has been played 77 times.

“It feels like we’ve been preparing for every other team, not really anything different,” he said. “We all know it’s a huge game and we’re going to play our hearts out, preparing like we normally do.”

Auburn tight end C.J. Uzomah said every player learns the significance of this rivalry early in their careers, even minus the high rankings. But he said with the losses by Baylor — a game Uzomah watched on TV — and

0, 7-0) was romping over Chattanooga 49-0 Saturday, Auburn had an open date following a thrilling win over Georgia in another matchup of traditional rivals.

Saban quickly turned his attention to the regular-season finale after Chattanooga, even if players mostly cited the coaches’ 24-hour celebration window allowing them to savor even that win.

“Our focus obviously needs to immediately shift to the opportunities that we have created for ourselves and the games that we have in the

Oregon and the high rankings, the game has been magnified even further.

“You step on the campus and that’s the first thing you hear,” Uzomah said. “You get recruited and that’s the focal point that can define the season, like it is this upcoming Saturday.”

Uzomah said when he saw the packed RV lot a week before the game he realized, “This is going to be huge.”

“It’s going to be the most unbelievable atmosphere I’ve ever gotten to play in,” he said.

future,” Saban said after the game. “Obviously the one that we have this week coming up against Auburn is a very important game. They have a great team. They’ve had a great season.

“It’s going to be important for everybody in our organization to make a commitment to doing their very best job to play their best football, because that’s probably what it’s going to take to have success against a very good team.”

It’s taken the biggest turnaround of the college football season to restore this game into a high-stakes affair for both teams.

Alabama’s 49-0 win last season was the secondbiggest margin in Iron Bowl history. Alabama won 42-14 in 2011 after the Tigers pulled off a huge comeback to win 28-27 the year before to continue their own national title run with Cam Newton.

Tide receiver Kevin Norwood said the game’s significance could bring out the best in both teams. But, he added, the priority is “to really focus on doing our job, like coach Saban always preaches.”

“It’s definitely good because when you have something to play for, you just have a lot of motivation to play your best,” Norwood said. “And we know they’re going to play their best.”

She had already captured three MAC championships — the only runner in conference history to accomplish that feat. Last week she won her secondconsecutive Great Lakes Regional title in a school record 20:00, becoming the first runner in school history to capture two regional titles. She’s a two-time Great Lakes Regional Runner of the Year, as named by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Association. She’s also been named MAC Female Scholar Athlete of the Week in numerous occasions.

Up next for Accurso will be the indoor and outdoor track and field seasons, where she’s again expected to excel for the Bobcats.

Last year during the indoor season, Accurso kicked off the 2013 indoor season with a fourthplace finish in the 3,000m at the prestigious Meyo Invitational, placing in a season-best 9:32.9. She also was as part of the Ohio distance medley relay team that captured the MAC title in a meetrecord time of 11:26.80.

Accurso also won titles in the mile (4:53.33) and 3,000-meter (9:36.43) at the league event. She wrapped up the indoor season with a fourth-place finish in the 5,000-meter at Notre Dame’s Alex Wilson Invitational (16:31.56).

Last spring during the outdoor season, she opened the season by breaking the school record in the 5,000-meter run (16:13.56) en route to a first-place finish at the Wake Forest Open. She followed up that recordsetting performance with a personal-best time in the 10,000-meter run (33:52.33) at the Stanford Invitational, which stood as the 36th-best time in the nation at season’s end She captured the 10,000-meter title at the All-Ohio Championships (34:38.93) and won the 1,500-meter run at the Ohio Open (4:33.99). She earned a first-place finish in the 5,000-meter run at the MAC Championships (16:36.65) and finished eighth in the 1,500m run in a personal-best time of 4:32.16. She qualified for the NCAA East Regional in the 5,000-meter and 10,000-meter runs.
