Man allegedly rapes Troy teens Springfield resident faces three counts vs. juveniles BY MELANIE YINGST Staff Writer myingst@tdnpublishing.com
Try loaded sweet potatoes Much as I love mashed white potatoes, my favorite “potato” is the sweet variety. I’ve been cooking and eating sweet potatoes as long as I can remember. And when I found out that they were loaded with vitamins and other good-for-you stuff like fiber, I immediately thought … Here’s a great excuse to eat sweet potato pie! Kidding aside, sweet potatoes are just as good if not better than traditional baking potatoes in savory applications. My favorite one-bowl meal in winter is a loaded baked potato. And I often make it with sweet potatoes. See Page 8.
A Springfield man is being held in Miami County Jail with a $160,000 cash bond after being charged with allegedly committing three counts of rape with three juveniles under the age of 16 in a Troy home on New Year’s Eve.

degree felony rape and one count of underage consumption and furnishing alcohol to minors. According to officials, all three victims are female minors under the age of 16.

Dalton seeks redemption CINCINNATI (AP) — Andy Dalton is getting a second chance to shine in a hometown playoff game. The first one didn’t turn out very well for him at all. The Bengals quarterback had one of the worst games of his rookie season in front of a lot of family and friends in Houston last year. He threw three interceptions, including one that J.J. Watt returned for a touchdown, in the Texans’ 31-10 victory in the wild card round. Dalton grew up in suburban Katy, Texas, and had never lost a game at Reliant Stadium, where he played twice in high school and once at TCU. He’s excited to be going back for what amounts to a second chance to look good in the playoffs. See Page 12.

The first baby of 2013 for Miami County was born at Upper Valley Medical Center at 11:11 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 1, to Brittany Slack and Travis Huffman of Piqua. about her baby sister’s arrival, which was an early one, as Sariah’s original due date was February, a not entirely unexpected event as Brittany explained how older sibling Jaxson, 1, was born five days early. “He came quick,” Brittany said of Jaxson, so the experience let her know that tiny Sariah, “was coming.” Proud dad Travis is employed at Industry Products while Brittany is a busy stay-at-home mom to
their growing family. The parents of the new year baby were both content and at ease amongst five of their seven children Wednesday afternoon at UVMC. Or, as grandma Paula Huffman called them with a smile — the stair steps — as she held the new year baby swaddled in a pink and white polka-dotted blanket before the siblings gathered for their photo shoot in a corner of the room. Travis and Brittany are
engaged. A wedding date is still in the works as the couple will be busy with little Sariah, a unique Hebrew name Brittany found on the Internet. As the first baby of 2013, Sariah was also welcomed via a gift basket laden with goodies from area businesses: Great Clips, Meijer, Piqua Pizza Supply, Curves of Troy, Beppo Uno, Coldwater Cafe, La Fiesta, El Sombrero, The Caroline, Pizza Hut of Piqua, Wendy’s, Culvers and Walgreens.
“I bring to this council the ability to look at issues from a business management perspective,” said Kendall, who is first ward councilman. “With over 35 years of management experience, I have learned to take the emotion out of decision making and to make decisions based on facts presented.” Kendall lives in Troy with his wife Beverly. They have two grown daughters, Kristi Quinn and Lisa Maxson. He is founding board member of Ohio’s Great Corridor Association and a board member of Treasure Island Adventure Series. Doug Tremblay Second ward councilman Tremblay said economic development will continue to be the leading issue for Troy. Tremblay plans to file his petition for second ward by Jan. 8. “Economic development — business retention and attraction — has been and will be the No. 1 issue. Balancing the budget, while maintaining a level of service that is needed and wanted is an issue that is just as important,” Tremblay said. Tremblay was a pharmacist and then owner of M&R Drugs before becoming a pharmacist with CVS until he retired in 2011. Tremblay is currently a member of St. Patrick Church and the Troy Noon Optimists Club and is a volunteer with Troy Health Partners and the Museum of Troy History. He has served as an officer or member of several other organizations in the past. “I have the time, the desire, and ability to serve the citizens and city of Troy and feel a civic obliga• See COUNCIL on 2

The modest gain suggests the economy entered the new year with some momentum. The Institute for Supply Management said Wednesday that its index of manufacturing activity rose in December to 50.7. That's up from a reading of 49.5 in November, which was the lowest reading since July 2009, one month after the recession ended. A reading above 50 indicates growth, while a reading below signals contraction. The ISM is a trade group of purchasing managers.

tion to do so,” Tremblay said. John Schweser Third ward councilman Schweser said participating on city council is his way of giving back to the city he moved to 22 years ago, where he raised three successful young men. “I was able to do that because they there were people watching over the city and watching over my boys. This is my way of paying it forward and giving back,” Schweser said. He will be running for his fourth term on council. Now more than ever, keeping a watchful eye on spending is important, he said. “It’s what every city in Ohio faces,” Schweser said. “When you consider that the local government fund has been decreased by almost half and Troy is facing a $1 million loss in (annual) revenue, somehow we have to make that shortfall up. It’s about how you keep the services the same for the citizens without charging them more.” Schweser has participated on the board of the Troy Historical Society and was on the Boy Scouts’ search committee for Miami County. He also is reporting secretary for the Martin Luther King Team, an organization commemorat-
ing the life of the civil rights leader. Bobby Phillips During his time as fourth ward councilman, Bobby Phillips said he is most proud of council’s commitment to rescinding the Adams Street permissive tax for the construction as soon as the fund balance showed the fee would no longer be needed to cover costs. Phillips said such situations demonstrate the importance of city council, which serves as an interface between the public and city staff. Phillips, a retired police officer from California who moved to Troy in 2007, said contract negotiations with employee bargaining units is an issue the city is facing — “being able to fairly compensate our hard-working employees yet be responsible with taxpayer money.” Other issues Phillips said the city faces include “attracting new business and keeping current businesses in the city of Troy, advancing Troy’s communication with our residents via all available social media and communication outlets at a reasonable cost…and being able to take care of infrastructure needs on a proactive basis instead of reactive, or worse, letting things slide.” Phillips is a member of First United Methodist Church of Troy and is the
upcoming president of Kiwanis of Troy. Al Clark Clark is seeking his sixth term on council, which he said demonstrates his commitment for the city and knowledge of council. “I think it’s crucial at this point to continue to have experienced leadership, and I’ve got a great track record in terms of fiscal responsibility and being fiscally conservative, especially with times being how they are with the state and federal government reducing funds to cities,” said Clark, who retired from the Troy Police Department and now works for the Miami County Educational Service Center. Clark is membership chairman for the Miami County Men’s Republican Club and is also a member of Troy Rec’s board of directors, the Community Corrections Board and the mayor’s Downtown Round Table. “I have the time, energy and enthusiasm, along with the experience needed to understand the workings of city government. I feel the community has given our family so much, that I am honored to continue to give back in the capacity of a city councilman,” he said. Lynne Snee Member-at-large Lynne
Snee said the city of Troy faces difficult budget constraints, but she and other members have worked to plan responsibly for the future. “One of the continuing issues facing the city is planning for the current budget while considering future revenue and spending projections,” Snee said. “I think by taking a comprehensive approach to determining goals and then translating those goals into decisions on the budget, including difficult decisions on spending cuts and rate increases, city council has made balanced and responsible decisions,” said Snee, a fifth grade math teacher at Forest Elementary School. As a member of council, Snee said she would continue to work to make economic development a top priority. Snee is a member of Forest Elementary’s PTO and the Festival of Nations committee, in addition to being secretary of Miami County Children’s International Summer Village. Robin Oda After her first term on city council, member-atlarge Robin Oda said she’s learned much about the workings of government and is looking forward to serving again, this time with the added confidence
experience brings. Oda said she is proud of her commitment to doing her own research before council meetings and attending as many committee and board meetings as possible. In addition to balancing the budget, Oda said council faces two other key issues, which include “making sure that we as a council do nothing privately/publicly that will hurt the trust of those who have elected us (and) taking into account the pros and cons of every decision that comes upon us.” Oda worked as an administrative assistant to the vice president of nursing at a hospital in Indiana prior to becoming a stay-athome mom and homeschooling her three children through the sixth grade. In late November, council President Marty Baker announced her plans to seek her third term as president. Prior to being elected president, she served four terms as second ward council member. Nominating petitions from the Miami County Board of Elections must be filed at least 90 days before the primary election. The number of council seats will increase from seven to nine because of a population increase, with wards five and six being added.
Cliff averted, it’s on to the next fiscal crisis WASHINGTON (AP) — Onward to the next fiscal crisis. Actually, several of them, potentially. The New Year’s Day deal averting the “fiscal cliff” lays the groundwork for more combustible struggles in Washington over taxes, spending and debt in the next few months. Barack President Obama’s victory on taxes this week was the second, grudging round of piecemeal successes in as many years in chipping away at the nation’s mountainous deficits. Despite the length and intensity of the debate, the deal to raise the top income tax rate on families earning over $450,000 a year about 1 percent of households and including only $12 billion in spending cuts turned out to be a relatively easy vote for many. This was particularly so because the alternative was to raise taxes on everyone. But in banking $620 billion in higher taxes over the coming decade from wealthier earners, Obama and his Republican rivals have barely touched deficits still expected to be in the $650 billion range by the end of his second term. And those back-of-theenvelope calculations assume policymakers can find more than $1 trillion over 10 years to replace automatic across-the-board spending cuts known as a sequester. “They didn’t do any of the tough stuff,” said Erskine Bowles, chairman of Obama’s 2010 deficit commission. “We’ve taken two steps now, but those two steps combined aren’t enough to put our fiscal house in order.” In 2011, the government adopted tighter caps on day-to-day operating budgets of the Pentagon and other cabinet agencies to save $1.1 trillion over 10 years. The measure passed

A trader works on the floor at the New York Stock Exchange in New York Wednesday. The “fiscal cliff” compromise, for all its chaos and controversy, was enough to send the stock market shooting higher Wednesday, the first trading day of the new year. Tuesday prevents middleclass taxes from going up while raising rates on higher incomes. It also blocks severe across-the-board spending cuts for two months, extends unemployment benefits for the longterm jobless for a year, stops a 27 percent cut in Medicare fees paid to doctors and prevents a possible doubling of milk prices. The alternative was going over the cliff, an economy-punching halftrillion-dollar combination of sweeping tax increases and spending cuts. Despite the deal, the government partially went over the brink anyway with the expiration of a two-year cut in Social Security payroll taxes of two percentage points. Action inside a dysfunctional Washington now only comes with binding deadlines. So, naturally, this week’s hard-fought bargain sets up another crisis in two months, when painful across-the-board spending cuts to the Pentagon and domestic programs are set to kick in and the government runs out of the ability to juggle its $16.4 trillion debt with-
out having to borrow more money. Unless Congress increases or allows Obama to increase that borrowing cap, the government risks a first-ever default on U.S. obligations. Republicans will use this as an opportunity to leverage more spending cuts from Obama, just like they did in the summer of 2011. House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, vows that any increase in the debt limit which needs to be enacted by Congress by the end of February or sometime in March must be accompanied by an equal amount in cuts to federal spending. That puts him on yet another collision course with Obama, who has vowed anew that he won’t let haggling over spending cuts complicate the debate over the debt limit. The cliff compromise represented the first time since 1990 that Republicans condoned a tax increase. That has whipped up a fury among tea party conservatives and increased the pressure on Boehner to adopt a hard line in coming confronta-

tions over the borrowing cap and the spending cuts that won only a two-month reprieve in this weeks’ deal. Put simply, House Republicans are demanding new spending cuts possibly through changes in Social Security and Medicare benefit formulas as a scalp, and they’re dead set against raising more revenues through anything less than an overhaul of the tax code now that Obama has won higher taxes on the wealthy. “Now the focus turns to spending,” Boehner said after Tuesday’s vote, promising that future budget battles will center on “significant spending cuts and reforms to the entitlement programs that are driving our country deeper and deeper into debt.” Obama is just as adamant on the other side, saying higher revenues have to be part of any formula for further diverting the automatic spending cuts. While conservative activist Grover Norquist gave Republicans a pass on violating his anti-tax pledge with this week’s

vote, he and other forces on the right won’t be so forgiving on any future effort to increase revenues. The refusal of Republicans to consider additional new taxes is sure to stir up resistance among Democrats when they’re asked to consider politically painful cuts to so-called entitlement programs like Medicare. Democratic protests led Obama and Boehner to take a proposal to increase the Medicare eligibility age off the table in the recent round of talks. The upshot? More scorched-earth politics on the budget will probably dominate the initial few months of Obama’s second term, when the president would prefer to focus on legacy accomplishments like fixing the immigration problem and implementing his overhaul of health care. The relationship between Boehner and Obama has never been especially close and seemed to have suffered a setback last month after the speaker withdrew from negotiations on a broader deficit deal. The two get along personally, but politically, a series of collapsed negotiations has bred mistrust. The White House has the view that Boehner cannot deliver while the speaker is frustrated that matters brought up in his talks with the president are not followed through by White House staff. And on the debt limit, Boehner and Obama at this point are simply talking past each other. “While I will negotiate over many things, I will not have another debate with this Congress over whether or not they should pay the bills that they’ve already racked up through the laws that they passed,” Obama said after the deal was approved. Said Boehner spokesman Michael Steel: “The speaker’s position is clear. Any increase in the debt limit must be matched by spending cuts or reforms that exceed the increase.”

EDITORIAL ROUNDUP The Seattle Times on U.S. Arctic interests: Changing environmental and political conditions in the Arctic reinforce the need for the U.S. Coast Guard to have the equipment and vessels appropriate to the hazardous conditions. Sen. Maria Cantwell, D-Wash., and Rep. Rick Larsen, D-Wash., joined forces to secure passage of a Coast Guard authorization bill that maintains the nation’s capacity to deploy icebreakers to represent U.S. interests. Melting polar ice caps are creating a new commercial and political dynamic, with the prospects of greater Arctic access as a trade route.

Republican caucus to support a proposal that would have raised taxes on a relative handful of the highest-earning Americans, it is likely that President Barack Obama will need to look to the Senate to avert the fiscal calamity that’s approaching like a runaway freight train. For the good of the nation, leaders there must rise to the challenge. Recently, it appeared that Boehner and the president were moving toward a deal that would increase revenues and rein in spending enough to avoid a series of massive, automatic and across-the-board tax hikes and expenditure cuts that many analysts fear will trigger a new recession. But then Boehner abruptly stopped negotiating with the White House and focused on what he called Plan B, a budget package that would have raise taxes on Americans who earn $1 million or more a year. Presumably, he was trying to show Obama and other Democratic leaders that his caucus was willing to go only so far on taxes. Since Obama and Boehner were within shouting distance of a deal to cut the deficit by $2 trillion over the next decade, there’s at least a chance the president can now reach an accord with leaders of the Senate before serious damage is done… It is imperative that all sides return to Washington after Christmas ready to prove that they can indeed negotiate, compromise — and govern.

Put God back where He belongs To the Editor: God has truly blessed America, but how long will it last? We’ve take God out of our schools and out of our govern-
ment. He has also been removed as “CEO” of our business. Because He’s been taken out out of our schools, we see more randon killings and the removal from our government means same-sex marriage is now “OK.” Since He is no longer head of
our companies, our hearts are black and we no longer care for our brethren. So let’s put God back in His rightful place so that He can continue to bless America!

DOONESBURY
New year and a new life for this old-timer I had just returned from the restroom to find a drink waiting for me at our table. I looked across the table at my friend Joe and said, “I didn’t order this.” “I know,” he responded. “None of us did. The waitress just brought us another round of drinks. Dude … all the drinks are free tonight.” The year was 1994 and Joe, our friend Shawn and myself were in Orlanda, Fla., to cover the Ohio State Citrus Bowl game against Alabama for our college newspaper, The Lantern. As it was our first bowl game and we were basically a bunch of dumb college kids who didn’t understand how bowl games worked. Basically, here’s the protocol for college bowl games and the host cities: The weeks before the actual game, the bowl comittee and the host city does everything it can to kiss up to the media in the hopes all the journalists there will either write or broadcast something positive about the city. All the sightseeing is free, all the meals are free and all the alcohol — and lots of it — is free of charge. So we did what any other three college kids on tight budgets would do in the same situation — we took advantage of every last second of it. That week we went to Disney World, MGM Studios Florida and Sea World for free. We ate steak and lobster every day. And — it bears mentioning that
David Fong Troy Daily News Executive Editor all of us were of legal drinking age at the time — we drank free alcoholic beverages until we were pretty sure we had sufficiently pickled our livers. And that’s just what we did before 6 p.m. In the evenings, we would hit the nightlife in downtown Orlando. None of us were married — heck, at that point, I still hadn’t even had my first kiss — and we would spend the our nights using every awful pick-up line we could on the Ohio State and Alabama coeds who were in town for the game. Essentially, we were three college kids with no real work responsibilities, no families to take care of and no real sense of the world who had been dropped down into the middle of a tropical paradise filled with free-flowing alcohol, endless amounts of high-quality food and more beautiful women than the three of us knew what to do with. Needless to say, it was — up
— Cheryl Eernisse Troy
until that point — the greatest week of our lives. I would spend the next decadeplus trying to re-create that perfect moment. I would try to fill my New Year’s Eves with as much dabauchery as I possibly could. Sure, I never could quite approach the time I had in Orlando, but it didn’t mean I wasn’t going to try. To me, New Year’s Eve was an opportunity to find happiness at the bottom of a bottle in the loudest, most racous bar I could find. Turns out I was looking in all the wrong places. Fast forward 18 years from that fateful trip to Orlando, Fla. Much has changed since that bowl week. Since then, John Cooper has been fired, Jim Tressel led the Buckeyes to a national championship before being forced to resign in disgrace and Urban Meyer has arrived on the scene and appears poised to make the Buckeyes into a perennial national power. Much has changed for Joe, Shawn and I as well. All three of us have since gotten married — Joe and Shawn both ended up marrying their college sweethearts — and had children. Shawn is the father of twin girls, Joe has four children and I’ve got Max and Sophie. As you might imagine, my idea of New Year’s Eve revelry has changed quite a bit, too. This year, my New Year’s Eve consisted of cooking dinner for the wife and
kids — popcorn shrimp and french fries, for anyone who is keeping track — and then singing on our new karaoke machine as the ball dropped in Times Square. There was no late night out on the town, no mass consumption of alcohol and no trying to meet women. I had everything I needed and wanted right there in my family room. Forget about all the other stuff — I had my wife and my kids by my side. I was as content as I could be. Which I guess is my way of saying I’m finally ready to accept this new chapter in my life. I’m not the same kid I was nearly two decades ago. Somewhere along the, the guy everyone just called “Fong” became “Mr. Fong.” The guy who used to burn the beer joints down became a husband and a dad. Happiness isn’t shots of Jack Daniels — it’s watching your daughter singing a Selena Gomez song on the karaoke machine. I still think a lot about that week I spent in Orlando — and have no regrets about anything I did. OK, most of what I did. Some of what I did. The point is, those days are behind me now. I’m not the same person I was 18 years ago. I am — dare I say? — growing up. Hey — I’m as suprised as you are. Troy’s very own David Fong appears on Thursdays in the Troy Daily News. Happy New Year!

PAUL L. WOLFRUM AP
A man walks past a small commercial strip that burned down during Superstorm Sandy in the Rockaways section of New York, Wednesday.
Boehner agrees to vote House Speaker says vote will come Friday WASHINGTON (AP) Under intense pressure from angry Republicans, House Speaker John Boehner agreed Wednesday to a vote this week on aid for Superstorm Sandy recovery. The speaker will schedule a vote Friday for $9 billion for the national flood insurance program and another on Jan. 15 for a remaining $51 billion in the package, Republican Rep. Peter King of New York said after emerging from a meeting with Boehner and GOP lawmakers from New York and New Jersey. The votes will be taken by the new Congress that will be sworn in Thursday. King left the session with Boehner without the anger that led him to rip into the speaker Tuesday night. “It was a very positive meeting,” King said, adding that Boehner, R-Ohio, assured the lawmakers present that the money from the two House votes would roughly equal the $60 billion package of aid that passed the Senate. Since the votes will be taken in the new Congress, the Senate also will have to approve the legislation. If the House, as expected, approves the $9 billion flood insurance proposal, the Senate plans to move quickly in hopes of approving the aid on a voice vote Friday. The flood insurance money will help pay for claims by home and business owners with coverage. Sandy was the most costly natural disaster since Hurricane Katrina in 2005 and one of the worst storms ever in the Northeast. “Getting critical aid to the victims of Hurricane Sandy should be the first priority in the new Congress, and that was reaffirmed today with members of the New York and New Jersey delegations,” Boehner said in a joint statement with House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va. Boehner’s decision Tuesday night to cancel an expected vote on Sandy aid before Congress ends its current session provoked a firestorm of criticism from New York, New Jersey and
adjacent states where the money will go, including many lawmakers in his own party. According to King, Boehner explained that after the contentious vote to avoid major tax increases and spending cuts called the “fiscal cliff,” Boehner didn’t think it was the right time to schedule the vote before the current Congress went out of business. “What’s done is done. The end result will be New York, New Jersey and Connecticut will receive the funding they deserve. We made our position clear last night. That’s in the past,” King said. Rep. Chris Smith, RN.J., added, “We do believe we have an iron clad commitment.” The Senate approved a $60.4 billion measure Friday to help with recovery from the October storm that devastated parts of New York, New Jersey and nearby states. The House Appropriations Committee has drafted a smaller, $27 billion measure for immediate recovery needs and a second amendment for $33 billion to meet longer-term needs. The $9 billion in flood insurance money to be voted on Friday was originally in the $27 billion measure. The votes on Jan. 15 will be for $18 billion in immediate assistance and $33 billion for longer-term projects, including projects to protect against future storms, King said. Much of the money in the proposals is for immediate help for victims and other recovery and rebuilding efforts. The aid is intended to help states rebuild public infrastructure such as roads and tunnels and help thousands of people displaced from their homes. Some $5.4 million is for the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s disaster relief fund, $5.4 billion is to help transit agencies in New York and New Jersey rebuild and another $3.9 billion is for the Housing and Urban Development Department’s development fund to repair hospitals, utilities and small businesses. New Jersey Gov. Chris
Christie, a Republican, was among those sharply criticizing Boehner before the speaker changed course. Christie said he was frustrated after Boehner withdrew the bill Tuesday night and tried to call him four times that night, but none of the calls were returned. Christie complained about the “toxic internal politics” of the House majority. Christie said he had worked hard to persuade House members to support Sandy aid, and was given assurances by GOP leaders that the bill would be voted on before Thursday. “There is no reason for me at the moment to believe anything they tell me,” Christie said before Boehner announced there would be votes this month. King had branded Boehner’s initial decision to pull the bill a “cruel knife in the back” to New York and New Jersey. King was among an angry chorus of New York and New Jersey lawmakers from both parties who blasted Boehner, with some saying his move was a “betrayal.” In considering the Sandy aid package, the speaker was caught between conservative lawmakers who want to offset any increase in spending and Northeast and midAtlantic lawmakers determined to help their states recover more than two months after the storm hit. The criticism of Boehner on the House floor was personal at times, and reflected in part the frustration among the rank-and-file over the decision to press ahead with a vote on the fiscal cliff deal engineered by the White House and Senate GOP leader Mitch McConnell. Boehner had been struggling with conservatives who complained that the economic package didn’t include enough spending cuts. Reps. Michael Grimm, a Republican, and Jerrold Nadler, a Democrat, said in angry House floor remarks that while they did not agree on much, Boehner’s decision amounted to a “betrayal” and a crushing blow to states battered by the storm. President Barack Obama also called for an immediate House vote. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., raised the political temper-
ature even more. She said Boehner should come to Staten Island and the Rockaways to explain his decision to families whose homes and businesses were destroyed. “But I doubt he has the dignity nor the guts to do it,” Gillibrand said. Obama, meanwhile, called for House Republicans to vote on the Sandy aid “without delay for our fellow Americans.” The president said in a written statement that many people in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut are trying to recover from the storm and need “immediate support with the bulk of winter still in front of us.” The White House said Obama spoke Wednesday with Christie about the importance of the disaster aid bill, and that the president’s staff was in touch with New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s team too as Obama lobbied for House action. Christie and Cuomo, a Democrat, issued a joint statement, saying, “The fact that days continue to go by while people suffer, families are out of their homes, and men and women remain jobless and struggling during these harsh winter months is a dereliction of duty.” Rep. Frank Pallone Jr., D-N.J., blamed tea party lawmakers and conservatives who were reluctant to approve new spending soon after the debate over the “fiscal cliff” budget issues for the sudden move by GOP leaders. He said the move was “deplorable.” More than $2 billion in federal funds has been spent so far on relief efforts for 11 states and the District of Columbia struck by the storm, one of the worst ever to hit the Northeast. The Federal Emergency Management Agency’s disaster relief fund still has about $4.3 billion, enough to pay for recovery efforts into early spring, according to officials. The unspent FEMA money can only be used for emergency services, said Pallone. New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, District of Columbia, West Virginia, Virginia, Maryland, New Hampshire, Delaware, Rhode Island, Pennsylvania and Massachusetts are receiving federal FEMA aid.

Dear Annie: I am a 22-yearold adoptee. My grandparents raised me from 6 months old and officially adopted me when I was 10. They have three sons — my biological father and his two brothers. This is where the problem lies. My "uncles" have never accepted that their parents are my parents. They never refer to me as their sister and frequently refer to my parents as my grandparents. Most of these things I ignore, but there is one thing I cannot. My parents are in their early 60s, and the subject of their death comes up often. Their sons have decided that when our parents die, I have no say in anything. Annie, these are the only parents I've ever had. I am legally adopted, so I have a legal right as well as a given right. How do I calmly explain that they are my parents, too? — Their Child Dear Their Child: You are not going to make your uncles treat you like a sibling. They see you as their brother's child. And although your parents are not that old, it is never too soon to prepare a will and other necessary legal documents. Your parents' wishes and the distribution of their assets are things they get to decide, and they should discuss it with a lawyer. They should also have a family meeting and make sure that ALL of their children are aware of how they want this to be handled. Dear Annie: I recently attended a cocktail party at the home of a former colleague from our deaf program. The speaker was a campaign worker for one of the presidential candidates. The party hostess made arrangements in advance for a sign language interpreter. When the speaker was done with his presentation, I waited for my turn to talk to him. As I got clearance, I was interrupted by three hearing female guests who showed no respect for a deaf guest while the conversation took place. I managed to maintain a professional attitude by containing my emotions, but their rudeness took me by surprise. The speaker was fully aware of this, and his facial expression hinted to me that he was not pleased by this episode. If I were to attend another such event and get the same treatment, what should I do? — Deaf Professor Dear Deaf: This type of situation can occur whether a guest is deaf or not. People interrupt, block you from the conversation and behave rudely. An alert host would have interceded, and the speaker should have made every effort to be more inclusive. He allowed these women to hijack the conversation. You also could have enlisted the assistance of the interpreter. If you feel you were treated poorly solely because of your deafness, please discuss this with your host at the next such event. Dear Annie: The letter from "Heartbroken Mother," whose 36year-old son is a drug addict, hit home. That son could've been me. I'm glad you told her to take care of herself first. I would also like to mention that The Salvation Army offers a free, sixmonth-minimum in-patient adult rehabilitation program. It's a tough, spiritually based 12-step program that includes a full day of hard work and counseling. I have seen so many people who are hopeless and helpless renewed to strong, contributing members of the community. When one shows up for intake, they have to test clean for drugs and alcohol. Maybe her son is not ready, but there may be thousands more who are reading this column. It is challenging but literally lifesaving. The rewards for those who take the walk and for the families who take it with them bring me to tears every time I witness the change and hope that come. — Doug Annie's Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

HINTS FROM HELOISE
Tips will help make bedding down for the winter easier Dear Readers: Winter is in full swing! It’s time to pull out down and feather bedding to keep warm, which will help you save money on your energy bill. The American Down and Feather Council has a few hints to ensure that your down and feather products are cared for correctly: 1. If your comforter or pillow is looking flat, fluff it up. A daily shake will restore the product’s fluffiness, or loft, and will help increase its performance. 2. If you need an extra fluff, use the dryer. Down comforters and blankets, as well as down or feather pillows, can be placed in a dryer set on low heat. Putting
Hints from Heloise Columnist a few clean tennis balls into the dryer will help fluff up the product while it tumbles around. 3. Storage of down and feather comforters, blankets and pillows can be tricky — you don’t want it to lose its luster while in storage. By storing bedding in a breathable bag, the products will retain their natural attributes and will
be like new when you pull them out again. Visit online at www.downandfeather.org to learn more about bedding and how to care for it. — Heloise TIME MANAGEMENT Dear Heloise: As a college student, I’ve been taught the lesson of how to manage time. Balancing classes, clubs, practices and social activities makes me feel overwhelmed. So, here is my hint: Map out plans for the week. Every Sunday (YES, even after partying all Saturday night), take the time to list all of the things that need to be done in the coming week. This creates a clear and visible guide for
what needs to be done! — Allison D., via email REMOVING GRIME Dear Heloise: I would like to share a hint I learned as a graphic-arts student. Printmaking inks are difficult to get off your hands, and I don’t like strong chemical cleaners. I found that cooking oil works well. Pour a small amount on your hands and rub it in. The oil combines with the dirt and lifts it out of the skin, the way cold cream removes makeup. Wipe off with a paper towel, and wash your hands with soap. It works with many kinds of paints, adhesives, dirt and even tar. — K.L., Falls Church, Va.

TODAY IN HISTORY In 1521, Martin Luther was excommunicated from the Roman Catholic Church by Pope Leo X. In 1777, Gen. George Washington’s army routed the British in the Battle of Princeton, N.J. In 1861, more than two weeks before Georgia seceded from the Union, the state militia seized Fort Pulaski at the order of Gov. Joseph E. Brown. The Delaware
Try this loaded sweet potato Much as I love mashed white potatoes, my favorite “potato” is the sweet variety. I’ve been cooking and eating sweet potatoes as long as I can remember. And when I found out that they were loaded with vitamins and other good-for-you stuff like fiber, I immediately thought… Here’s a great excuse to eat sweet potato pie! Kidding aside, sweet potatoes are just as good if not better than traditional baking potatoes in savory applications. My favorite one-bowl meal in winter is a loaded baked potato. And I often make it with sweet potatoes. Around 5 p.m., I throw the potatoes in a 350 F oven. I find that a lower oven temperature keeps the skin from falling apart, allowing you to split the potato in half and load it up! However, it does take twice as long for the potatoes to cook. This year, I have been topping my potato with sauteed kale, which not only looks stunning all that orange and green but also is a perfect complement to the sweet “meaty” potato. But that’s not all. I also roast garlic and make it into a paste to flavor the potato, folding in just a touch of butter and a pinch of sage. I scoop out half of the potato, mix it all together, add half the cheese and put it back into the shells like you would a twicebaked potato. At this point, the recipe can be made in advance and re-heated another day. Just before serving, you sprinkle on more cheese, add a healthy spoonful of the sauteed kale and, if you like, top with toasted pumpkin seeds for a welcome crunch. If you don’t like kale, you can saute spinach instead. And while I have specified fontina and Gruyere for the cheeses, Parmesan, cheddar and mozzarella are great, too. I generally make this loaded potato a “meatless meal,” but you could easily
W.VA.
1 bunch (about 5 ounces) baby or chopped Tuscan kale 1/2 cup grated fontina cheese Ground black pepper, to taste 1/2 to 1 cup shredded white cheddar, Gruyere or mozzarella cheese 3 tablespoons toasted pumpkin seeds (optional) Roasted chicken (optional) Heat the oven to 400 F. Remove the outer layer of papery skin from the heads of garlic. Slice off 1/4 inch from the narrow end of each. Place each head of garlic, cut side up, on a square of heavy-duty foil. Drizzle each with olive oil, then sprinkle with salt. Wrap the foil
loosely up and over the garlic heads, then roast for 1 hour, or until golden-brown and soft. Remove and let cool. Meanwhile, prick the sweet potatoes with a fork, then rub them with oil. Add them to the oven and bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until tender. Once the garlic has cooled enough to handle, remove the cloves from their skins. The most efficient way to do this is to squeeze the whole head from the bottom. In a small food processor, combine the garlic, butter, sage and a pinch of salt, then pulse until chopped and combined. Set aside. About 15 minutes before the potatoes have finished, in a medium saute pan over medium-high, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the shallot and saute until soft, about 4 minutes. Add the kale, and saute for a few minutes, stirring constantly, until tender. Set aside. When the potatoes have finished baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool until easy to touch. Leave the oven on. Cut the potatoes lengthwise down the middle and scoop out about half of the flesh from each, making sure to keep a thick layer of sweet potato within the skin so that it can stand on its own. In a bowl, mash the sweet potato, the roasted garlic mixture and the fontina cheese. Season with salt and pepper. Divide the filling between each potato, spooning it into the shell of each. Top with your choice of shredded cheese and the hot sauteed kale. Arrange the potatoes on a baking sheet and return to the oven until hot, about 15 minutes. They also can be microwaved for 2 minutes. Serve hot, garnished with pumpkin seeds and chicken, if desired.

House and Senate voted to oppose secession from the Union. In 1868, the Meiji Restoration re-established the authority of Japan’s emperor and heralded the fall of the military rulers known as shoguns. In 1949, in a pair of rulings, the U.S. Supreme Court said that states had the right to ban closed shops.
THE AMISH COOK
Lovina Eicher Troy Daily News Guest Columnist
Soups, stews a delicious winter treat I hope everyone had a blessed and healthy Christmas Day. I’ve been struck with the same flu that has been going around this household. Hopefully I’ll be on the mend soon. With Joe off this week and the kids home from school, the house has been full. We’ve had snow and cold the past few days, perfect weather for some soups or stews. Thought I’d share recipes for a couple of our favorites this week! WINTER’S DAY SOUP 1 T. vegetable oil 2 medium yellow onaions (chopped) 3 cloves garlic 5 c. homemade chicken broth 2 t. Worcestershire sauce 4 T. flour 1 medium head cauliflower (chopped) 1 medium bunch broccoli (chopped) 3 medium potatoes (diced) 2 c. heavy cream 2 c. grated extra sharp cheese Salt and pepper to taste In a large pot, heat the oil and add the onions and cook for five minutes. Add the garlic and cook for one minute. Add the chicken stock, Worcestershire sauce and vegetables and simmer gently for approximately 20 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Stir flour with a little soup broth and add mixture along with the cream to the broth, stirring through. Add cheese a little at a time, stirring until completely melted. Enjoy with thick sliced bread. AMISH BEEF STEW 3 cups cubed beef 1 onion 8 large cut potatoes 2 cups cut carrots 2 cups cut celery 1/2 cup all-purpose flour 1/4 cup margarine Salt to taste Brown beef and onion in flour. Put into pot. Heat on low for two hours. Add vegetables and 1 cup tomato juice. Continue cooking for one or two more hours

CAUTION Whether posting or responding to an advertisement, watch out for offers to pay more than the advertised price for the item. Scammers will send a check and ask the seller to wire the excess through Western Union (possibly for courier fees). The scammer's check is fake and eventually bounces and the seller loses the wired amount. While banks and Western branches are Union trained at spotting fake checks, these types of scams are growing increasingly sophisticated and fake checks often aren't caught for weeks. Funds wired through Western Union or MoneyGram are irretrievable and virtually untraceable. If you have questions regarding scams like these or others, please contact the Ohio Attorney General’s office at (800)282-0515.

A second chance Dalton gets shot at redemption CINCINNATI (AP) — Andy Dalton is getting a second chance to shine in a hometown playoff game. The first one didn’t turn out very well for him at all. The Bengals quarterback had one of the worst games of his rookie season in front of a lot of family and friends in Houston last year. He threw three interAP PHOTO ceptions, including one that J.J. Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton (14) passes against Watt returned for a touchdown, the Pittsburgh Steelers in Pittsburgh Dec 23, 2012. in the Texans’ 31-10 victory in
the wild card round. Dalton grew up in suburban Katy, Texas, and had never lost a game at Reliant Stadium, where he played twice in high school and once at TCU. He’s excited to be going back for what amounts to a second chance to look good in the playoffs. “It’ll be fun,” Dalton said. “There’s a lot of family and

Ohio State’s Amir Williams (23) works for a rebound against Nebraska’s Ray Gallegos during the first half in Columbus Wednesday.
OSU dominates Buckeyes blast Nebraska in Big Ten opener COLUMBUS (AP) — Ohio State coach Thad Matta was asked how good it was that his team had a relatively easy time of it in cruising to a lopsided win in their Big Ten opener. “Hopefully the next 17 are exactly (like that),” he cracked, his voice trailing off as he flashed a smile. Deshaun Thomas outscored Nebraska 18-17 in the first half and finished with 22 points to lead the eighth-ranked Buckeyes past the Cornhuskers 70-44 on Wednesday night. The Buckeyes led by at least 20 points for almost all of the second half.
How bad was it for the Cornhuskers (9-5, 0-1)? Only 8:27 remained when they finally exceeded the 31 points that their football counterparts scored in a 14-point loss to Georgia in the Capital One Bowl a day earlier. “If you don’t have any (questions), you won’t hurt my feelings,” first-year coach Tim Miles joked when he first sat down with reporters after the game. There were plenty of questions, but not many answers. The Buckeyes (11-2, 1-0) dominated at both ends while the Cornhuskers had difficulty finding the basket. They shot
just 26 percent from the field in the opening half while falling behind big and finished at 30 percent. Thomas and Ohio State’s sticky defense made certain the Buckeyes had an easy time of it. “Coach (Matta) told me, ‘I need you to start out well,’” said Thomas, who played only sparingly in the second half. “The whole team got off fast. And our rotations were good on defense and we got stops when we needed. It was on from there fastbreaks and dunks and everybody was just rolling.”

CLEVELAND (AP) — Jason Thompson scored 19 points and DeMarcus Cousins had 18 points Wednesday night, leading the Sacramento Kings to their second road win of the season, 97-94 over the Cleveland Cavaliers. John Salmons’ 3-pointer from the corner with 52.9 seconds remaining gave Sacramento the lead for good, 92-90. The win broke a seven-game losing streak away from home for the Kings, who are 2-13 on the road and played without injured guards Tyreke Evans and Marcus Thornton, their second and third leading scorers. Kyrie Irving scored 22 points to lead Cleveland, which has lost nine of 11 and is 3-11 at Quicken Loans Arena, where it has dropped five straight. Cavaliers center Anderson Varejao, the league’s leading rebounder, missed his seventh straight game with a bruised right knee. Cousins, who had 16 rebounds, sparked a dominant frontcourt performance by Sacramento, which outscored Cleveland 52-36 in the paint. Irving’s two free throws gave Cleveland a 90-89 lead with 1:12 remaining, but Salmons broke free in the right corner and nailed his only 3-pointer of the game. Following a turnover, Aaron Brooks’ layup made it a four-point game. Irving hit a shot in the lane with 12.3 seconds left, cutting the lead to 94-92. Jimmer Fredette’s two free throws with 8.9 seconds remaining made it a four-point game. Dion Waiters’ basket cut the lead to two. Brooks split two free throws with two seconds remaining. Irving fired a desperation shot from beyond halfcourt that hit off the rim at the buzzer, but the officials ruled the shot would not have counted.

Union responds to NHL’s latest offer Alabama, Notre Dame has all the makings At a time when college football was generally considered the domain of eastern blue bloods, Notre Dame and Alabama were upstart teams that gave blue collar fans a chance to tweak the elite. See Page 14.
NEW YORK (AP) — The NHL players’ association delivered its latest counteroffer to the league Wednesday as the two sides try to resolve the lockout. That makes four offers between the sides since the NHL restarted the negotiation process Thursday with a new contract proposal. What has
become a major point of contention is how a player’s pension will be funded. A small group meeting on the pension issue was held Wednesday morning before the players’ association presented its latest offer to the league during a one-hour afternoon meeting. A group of players arrived
at the NHL offices around 8 p.m. as the union and league prepared to meet again. A deal can’t be done without a resolution on pensions. The league presented the players with a counteroffer Tuesday night. The lockout has reached its 109th day, and NHL
Commissioner Gary Bettman has said that the league told the union a deal needs to be in place by Jan. 11 so a 48-game season can begin eight days later. All games through Jan. 14 along with the All-Star game have been canceled, claiming more than 50 percent of the original schedule.

Ravens’ Lewis retiring after playoffs
Dalton
OWINGS MILLS, Md. (AP) — Ray Lewis spent 17 seasons instilling fear in his opponents while serving as an inspirational leader for the Baltimore Ravens. Now he’s poised and eager to become a fulltime dad. L e w i s announced Wednesday he will end his bril- LEWIS liant NFL career after the Ravens complete their 2013 playoff run. Lewis has been sidelined since Oct. 14 with a torn right triceps. The 13-time Pro Bowl middle linebacker intends to return Sunday to face the Indianapolis Colts in what will almost certainly be his final home game. “Everything that starts
has an end,” the 37-year-old Lewis said. “For me, today, I told my team that this will be my last ride.” Lewis will walk away from the game because he wants to spend more time with his sons. While working to return from his injury, Lewis watched two of his boys play on the same high school football team in Florida. He intends to see Ray Lewis III perform as a freshman next year for the University of Miami, where the elder Lewis starred before the Ravens selected him in the first round of the 1996 draft. “God is calling,” Lewis said. “My children have made the ultimate sacrifice for their father for 17 years.
I don’t want to see them do that no more. I’ve done what I wanted to do in this business, and now it’s my turn to give them something back.” That’s why Lewis will pull off his No. 52 uniform for the last time after the Ravens lose or claim their second Super Bowl title. “It’s either (that or) hold onto the game and keep playing and let my kids miss out on times we can be spending together,” Lewis said. “Because I always promised my son if he got a full ride on scholarship Daddy is going to be there, I can’t miss that.” Lewis was the AP Defensive Player of the Year in 2000, the same season he was voted Super Bowl MVP following Baltimore’s 34-7 rout of the New York Giants. Lewis was also Defensive Player of the Year in 2003,
and is the only player in NFL history with at least 40 career sacks and 30 interceptions. “I never played the game for individual stats,” Lewis said. “I only played the game to make my team a better team.” Lewis has been with the Ravens since they moved from Cleveland. After being drafted 26th overall in Baltimore’s first draft, Lewis became a fixture at middle linebacker — and a beloved figure in Baltimore. He remained that way even after his alleged involvement in a double-murder in Atlanta in early 2000. In June of that year, a judge approved a deal allowing Lewis to avoid murder charges and jail time by pleading guilty to a misdemeanor and testifying against two co-defendants.

An instant classic? Alabama-Notre Dame BCS title game has all the makings MIAMI (AP) — At a time when college football was generally considered the domain of eastern blue bloods, Notre Dame and Alabama were upstart teams that gave blue collar fans a chance to tweak the elite. About 90 years later, the Fighting Irish and Crimson Tide are the elite two of college football’s signature programs, set to play a national championship next Monday in Miami that could break records for television viewership. No. 2 Alabama vs. No. 1 Notre Dame. Even casual sports fans understand this is a college football classic. “I think it’s basically because they’ve won more championships national than anybody else, and they’ve been doing it since the ’20s,” said Dan Jenkins, an award-winning sports writer and author who is also the historian for the National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame. “Plus they’ve had a bunch of gods coaching them Rockne, Leahy, Ara in South Bend, and Wallace Wade, Bear Bryant, and now Saban at Alabama.” He’s right. And to understand just how Notre Dame and Alabama became touchstones for their uniquely American sport, you have to look back to the 1920s, when beating an Ivy League team was a huge deal and there was nothing bigger than playing in the Rose Bowl. “Up to that point college football was important, but only in the fall,” said Murray Sperber, a professor at the University of California, Berkeley, who has written two books about the history of Notre Dame football. “The fans tended to be only alumni of the schools and local middle class people. “And that was true of Notre Dame before Rockne became coach.” Knute Rockne was a Norwegian-born former end for Notre Dame, who helped his school to a head-turning upset of Army as a player and then took over as coach in 1918. He was media savvy, and intent on turning the football program into a national power. Part of his

It’s definitely cool to come back and play where I’m from.” Those friends and relatives and those Texans will see a quarterback who has grown up a lot in the last year. Dalton made the Pro Bowl last season after leading the Bengals to a 9-7 record and a wild card berth. The Bengals went 10-6 in his second season and snagged another wild card spot, with Dalton improving in every statistical category. He completed 62.3 percent of his passes for 3,669 yards, 27 touchdowns and an 87.4 passer rating, all improvements from his rookie season. The only negative: Dalton threw 16 interceptions this season, 13 as a rookie. Dalton received an unexpected challenge at midseason. With the Bengals off to a 3-4 start, coach Marvin Lewis challenged the quarterback and middle linebacker Rey Maualuga to assert themselves and lead the team out of its mediocre malaise. Neither one is very vocal, preferring to let the coaches take control. With the pressure on,
Dalton and Maualuga improved their performances and led a turnaround. The Bengals won seven of their last eight games to reach the playoffs. Instead of trying to blend in, Dalton led the way. “He’s a guy that’s grown,” offensive tackle Andrew Whitworth said. “He’s matured. I think he’s ready for his opportunity. The truth is, we’re going to be behind him and he’s going to lead us. Like Marvin said earlier in the year about him and Rey, where they take us is where we’ll go. Those guys continue to elevate their play.” Lewis was so pleased with how Dalton and Maualuga responded to his challenge that he designated them team captains for the rest of the season, putting a small “C” on the front of their game jerseys. “I think he’s done a great job of being the leader of the offensive group and really the football team,” Lewis said. “He has continued to be very demanding, but he’s got a lot of pressure he keeps on himself. I think he’s getting the players around him to understand and get it right all the time and play to his standard.”

In 1923 an era so long ago the nickname “Ramblers” competed with fan favorite “Fighting Irish” in press reports Notre Dame won two landmark victories that help cement its place as America’s team. First, it beat Army 13-0 at Ebbets Field in Brooklyn as its rivalry with the Cadets blossomed into one of the fiercest in sports. The next week, the Fighting Irish won at Princeton 25-2. “This became one of the great moments for the fans,”
Sperber said. “It was Yankee, snooty Princeton against working class Notre Dame. Notre Dame had a lot of first generation-American players. “This was played up by the press and the press loved it.” Notre Dame was the college football team for the people who didn’t go to college. Rockne became an American hero, with his “Win One For the Gipper” speech (to inspire a 1928 victory over, you guessed it, Army). His death in a 1931 plane crash was a national tragedy, prompting statements of sympathy from President Herbert Hoover and the king of Norway. Yet for all the mythology and folklore around Notre Dame football, the biggest
reason for its popularity was quite basic. “An absolutely crucial element is winning,” Sperber said. Few programs have won like Notre Dame. Alabama is one of them. The Tide made a similar breakthrough in the 1920s under coach Wallace Wade. The Tide’s big victory against the Ivy League came in 1922 against Penn. “Back in those days, Alabama beating Penn was as surprising as if Penn were to beat Alabama today,” said Kirk McNair, who worked as sports information director for Alabama during the 1970s and now runs Bama Magazine. “It started to put southern football on the map,” he said.
what we were doing. They made it tough for us, inside and out.” Wake Forest 66, Xavier 59 WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. — All those freshmen at Wake Forest have had to grow up in a hurry and now they finally might be figuring out how to win. Codi Miller-McIntyre had 16 points, fellow freshman Devin Thomas added a season-high 14 rebounds and the Demon Deacons beat Xavier 66-59 on Wednesday night for their

CLEVELAND (AP) — The Browns may strike quickly to get Chip Kelly, Oregon’s coach who does everything in a hurry. Kelly, whose up-tempo, fast-paced offense has captured the imagination of several NFL teams and maintained the Ducks’ status as a national power, appears to be near the top of Cleveland’s list of candidates to replace Pat Shurmur, fired earlier this week after going 9-23 in two seasons. According to several reports, Browns CEO Joe Banner is already in Arizona and intends to interview Kelly, who is preparing the fifth-ranked Ducks for Thursday night’s Fiesta Bowl against Kansas State. An interview could take place as early as Friday. Kelly has been deflecting questions about his future all week. He did so again on Wednesday when he was asked if he expects to be contacted by NFL teams in the days ahead. “I don’t expect anything,” said Kelly, 45-7 in four years at Oregon. “I said this a million times. I’m never surprised by anything. I do not know what the future holds. I do know we have a football game tomorrow night and I’m going to be there.” After that, his next stop isn’t certain. Kelly and Alabama’s Nick Saban are the hottest commodities in the college game. It’s possible that new Browns owner Jimmy Haslam may make a strong run at Saban, who worked in Cleveland as an assistant under Bill Belichick in the 1990s. Saban would not be
available for an interview until after next Monday’s BCS title game, and the Browns could risk losing out on Kelly if they wait that long. The Philadelphia Eagles are also believed to be interested in Kelly, who came close to taking Tampa Bay’s job last year. Browns safety T.J. Ward knows the 49-year-old Kelly as well as anyone. Ward, who walked on with the Ducks, believes his former coach is ready to make the leap to the pros. “I think the players in the NFL would respect him and they will respect how he approaches you,” Ward said. “He lets you do your job. In college, he treated us like pros. I think that’s what players respect and appreciate about him.” It is not known if Haslam is with Banner in Arizona. Haslam said earlier this week that only he and Banner know which candidates may become Cleveland’s sixth coach since 1999. The Browns, who have lost at least 11 games in each of the past five seasons, are not confirming any interviews. On Tuesday, the Browns interviewed Arizona defensive coordinator Ray Horton, who said his meeting with the team was “fantastic.” Haslam and Banner made it clear that their next coach will have final say of the team’s 53-man roster, a perk that could entice Kelly to leave Oregon. Kelly’s pedal-tothe-metal offensive system is intriguing to the Browns and other teams who have already borrowed aspects of Oregon’s no-huddle, gogo-go approach.

Buckeyes ■ CONTINUED FROM 12 Lenzelle Smith Jr. added 17 points for Ohio State, which won its 15th consecutive Big Ten home opener. The Buckeyes have a tough test on Saturday at No. 11 Illinois. Matta was happy he was able to substitute liberally in the second half to rest his starters. “Honestly, with three games in six days, and two of them on the road, that was probably advantageous for us,” he said. Thomas’ big half spelled
doom for the Cornhuskers, who came in 6-1 when holding opponents to 60 or fewer points and 3-3 when they did not. Nebraska, last in the Big Ten in scoring (61.7 points per game), never had the firepower to get back in the game. Ray Gallegos had 14 points to lead Nebraska. He said the Buckeyes’ defense made everything difficult. “They were just pressuring everybody,” he said. “They were tuned in to
