Football frenzy: Troy tops Piqua

Unemployment rate hovering around 9 percent

Crackdown on pot dispensaries picks up steam Federal prosecutors announced an aggressive crackdown against California pot dispensaries Friday, vowing to shut down dozens of growing and sales operations and saying that the worst offenders are using the cover of medical marijuana to act as storefront drug dealers.

Officials described it as the first coordinated statewide offensive against marijuana dealers and suppliers who use California’s 15-year-old medical marijuana law as legal cover for running sophisticated drug trafficking ventures in plain sight. See Page 12.

Jobs crisis idle

WASHINGTON (AP) — The jobs crisis in the United States isn’t getting worse. But it isn’t getting much better, either.

The economy added just enough jobs last month to ease fears of a new recession. But hiring is still too weak to bring down unemployment, which has been stuck at about 9 percent for more than two years.

The nation added 103,000 jobs in September, an improvement from the month before, the Labor Department said Friday.

But the total includes 45,000 Verizon workers who were rehired after going on strike and were counted as job gains.

Even counting those workers, the job gains weren’t enough to get the economy going. It takes about 125,000 jobs a month just to keep up with population growth.

For September, the unemployment rate stayed stuck at 9.1 percent.

“Well, the sky is not falling just yet,” Joel Naroff, chief economist at Naroff Economic Advisors, said in a note to clients.

But there was nothing great about the report, he added. “It’s incredible how low our sights have been set.”

On one hand, the unemployment report was encouraging for economists. Some of them had feared the nation would lose jobs in September, raising the risk of a painful second recession.

But everyday Americans can’t take much solace from it, either. The Great Recession has been over for almost two and a half years, and while corporate profits and the stock market have bounced back in that time, unemployment is still high.

There are 14 million people counted as unemployed in the United States. An additional 9.3 million are working part time and would rather work full time. And 2.5 million more have simply given up looking for a job.

The Labor Department said the economy added more jobs than first estimated in July and August.

located at the corner of Garfield Street and Drury Lane, in a quiet neighborhood just southwest of downtown.

Haren said he began working in the shop and caught on quick.

“I started learning the trade and I started really enjoying it, which surprised me,” Haren, now 20, said, laughing as he recalled those early days. “I mean, how many 18-year-olds do you know who like their part-time jobs.”

Haren said Liette became “my mentor” and began giving him more and more responsibility. “He gave me the key (to the store) and said, ‘hey, here’s some responsibility, do something with it.”

Haren then began to place orders for meats, cheeses and other items for the store, and it was right about that time that his worldview changed.

“Right about then it hit me.

This is a really cool place. I thought this place had a lot of potential, but it was just kind of in limbo. It had no real direction,” Haren said.

Out of the blue, at the end of 2010, Liette broached the idea of Haren buying the shop.

“At that time, I blew it off. I said, ‘Dude, you’re full of it,’” Haren said laughing. “But as time went on, I started thinking this place was cool and a lot could be done with it. So we started talking about it again and once we realized we were both serious, I got a price. Then me and my Dad sat down and hashed out some plans and started deciding if it was really possible, and how do we do it.”

Haren and Liette put together a deal and on Aug. 1, Haren offiLOCALLY PRODUCED cially became the owner of the When he’s not at the shop, Troy Meat Shop.

Like people could come in and I could make suggestions so that people would know what to eat if they plan to run, or this is what to eat if you’re doing this or that with your body.

“Not necessarily a health food store, but a health conscious store,” he said.

Haren, though, said he’s learning how to be a business owner and cater to the customer’s needs, too.

For instance, neighborhood kids and others can still get those items everyone has come to expect from the neighborhood grocery, like chips, pop and candy.

“I haven’t had a pop in years,

but I’m not going to stop selling that, because that’s what the customer wants. But I’m going to emphasize our meats and fresh produce and things like that, because customers want that, too,” he said.

Diana Miley, who lives in the neighborhood, said she’s been coming to the Troy Meat Shop “for years. I just love this place.

It’s convenient and they’re always willing to take the extra step.”

Reminded that the slogan of the Troy Meat Shop is, “The best kept secret in town,” Haren said he hopes to change that eventually.

“I want everyone in town to know we’re here,” he said.

Jobs • CONTINUED FROM A1 The government’s first reading had said the economy added zero jobs in August.

While the report was clearly better than feared, it also showed the economy is not gaining much momentum, said Tom Porcelli, chief U.S. economist at RBC Capital Markets.

“It moves you away from the ledge,” he said.

It was also discouraging news for President Barack Obama, who will almost certainly have to wage his 2012 campaign under the highest unemployment of any president running for re-election

since World War II. Gene Sperling, a White House economic adviser, said the administration was “slightly comforted” that the jobs figure came in better than expected. But he said it was not good enough.

Obama, adopting a combative tone as he waits for the Republicans to settle on a nominee to oppose him, has challenged Congress to get behind his $447 billion jobs bill or risk being run out of Washington.

The Obama plan aims to jolt the economy by cutting taxes and increasing spending on schools, roads and other public projects. He has proposed paying for it in

part by raising taxes on the wealthy and corporations.

Obama’s Republican rivals are trying to persuade voters that he is to blame for high unemployment and the sluggish economy. Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney told Fox News Channel on Friday that Obama is criticizing Congress simply because he is “looking for someone to blame.”

The report initially sent the stock market higher.

Stock prices later fell after a credit rating agency downgraded Italy and Spain, adding to concern about Europe’s debt crisis. The Dow Jones industrial aver-

The shop is just a couple of blocks from the main Hobart plant, and for years has been a popular destination for Hobart workers, so he plans to expand the lunch offerings with a higher quality, locally produced bread, which also will be for sale by the loaf.

“And I want to start carrying fresh, locally-produced produce, and expand the specialty sausage we make. I want to get a smoker in here. One day I want people to walk in and see meats and sausages hanging up drying and curing,” he said.

Haren said his particular passion is producing custom sausages using a decades-old stainless steel, hand-cranked F Dicke meat grinder. For instance, on a recent weekday, he was selling unusuallooking green-colored sausages made from spinach, chicken and feta cheese.

Haren sells about a half-dozen different varieties of sausages, including traditional fare such as Italian, chorizo and traditional pork, but says he’s experimenting with a sausage made with apricot.

“And I’m working on an Hawaiian, with pineapple and pineapple juice. And a guy up north told me about one with cherries, so I’m thinking about maybe trying that,” he said.

Right now, though, Haren — who mans the shop six days a week and employs four part-time workers — said his plans for the interior and exterior facelift is on hold. “I’ve been so busy I can’t get to it,” he said.

age was flat in afternoon trading.

The figures offered some evidence that business activity is increasing. The temporary help industry added almost 20,000 jobs. And the average workweek lengthened slightly. Wages also rose a bit.

More hiring and better pay could boost consumer spending, which drives about 70 percent of the economy. When people spend more, it generates demand for businesses, which then step up hiring.

The private sector added 137,000 jobs, up from August but below July’s revised total.

Governments shed 34,000 jobs. The cuts came mainly from local governments, which laid off teachers and other school employees.

State and local govern-

ments usually add jobs during economic recoveries.

This time, they have cut more than a half-million jobs since the recession ended in June 2009. Without those cuts, overall job growth would be much healthier.

For example, after the recession of 1990 and 1991, state and local governments added about 18,000 jobs a month.

If they had done that this month, overall job growth would have been more like 150,000 probably enough to lower unemployment some.

In the first four months of this year, the economy added an average of 180,000 jobs a month. But then manufacturing slowed, consumer confidence crashed and Washington fell into gridlock, first over whether to raise the nation’s borrowing limit and then on how best to strengthen the economy.

If you have any of the above, there are effective treatment options, covered by insurances.

Scholarships available for graduate academy MIAMI COUNTY — The Miami County Foundation is making available a limited number of scholarships to the Graduate Academy for Community Leadership at Edison Community College. This community leadership seminar is based on the book “The Board Member’s Guide, Making a Difference on Your Board and in Your Community,” authored by Miami, Shelby and Darke county community leaders in cooperation with the Duke Foundation. The program is designed for executive directors, board members and volunteers of notfor-profit organizations.

“Class participants will learn from experienced and

MIAMI COUNTY trained professionals about recruiting and selecting board members, staffing, budgeting, evaluation, board meetings, community awareness and collaboration and much more,” said Cheryl Stiefel-Francis, executive director of the Miami County Foundation.

Classes are held the third Wednesday from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. beginning Jan. 18, 2012, and concluding on May 16, 2012.

Dr. Richard N. Adams explained the importance of this leadership course by saying, “Communities characterized by quality are not the result of good luck nor

do they occur accidentally.

Outstanding communities are created and maintained by a number of factors.

Among the most important factors are dedicated notfor-profit board members who perform their duties with enthusiasm and competence.”

Individuals eligible to apply for scholarship assistance must serve a taxexempt organization located in Miami County in either a volunteer or paid staff position.

Registration is limited.

To apply for a scholarship, register for the academy or for more information contact Julie Slattery at Edison Community College at 778-7805.

“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”

— First Amendment, U.S. Constitution

EDITORIAL ROUNDUP The Seattle Times on Amanda Knox’s acquittal: The case against former University of Washington student Amanda Knox was always just too far-fetched. A seemingly normal college girl turned she-devil. Drug-fueled sex games gone bad. Her DNA nowhere in the room where her roommate, Meredith Kercher, was killed.

An Italian jury concluded what many have long suspected: Knox certainly was guilty of goofy, insensitive behavior and pot use. But there was never sufficient evidence to prove she murdered her roommate, whom she knew only a few weeks.

A lot has been written about the Italian justice system, much of it negative about the overzealous prosecutor, Giuliano Mignini. His conduct was over the top.

But say this, the Italian courts allow for two automatic appeals and the first one freed Knox and her former boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito.

Both consistently denied involvement in the case.

The 2007 murder case is a tragedy on many fronts. Kercher’s family has every right to want justice for their slain beloved daughter and sister. The family has ached deeply for four years.

Still, a Senate bill, with strong bipartisan support, to punish countries that manipulate their currencies is a bad idea. It could do even more damage to the American economy if — as is all too likely — China decides to retaliate.

Stiff retaliatory tariffs or other punishments are also very unlikely to persuade Beijing to swiftly abandon a policy that has been at the core of its economic strategy for two decades. Instead, it could add an explosive new conflict to an already heavy list of bilateral frictions.

The Senate bill is intended to limit the executive branch’s discretion.

It would require the Treasury Department to identify countries whose currencies were grossly misaligned — with China everyone’s favorite culprit. If Beijing persisted, Washington would be required — with a delimited presidential waiver — to stop spending federal dollars on Chinese goods, and consider the renminbi’s undervaluation in antidumping cases against Chinese imports. The Treasury Department would also be required to ask the Federal Reserve to consider acting in currency markets to counteract the undervaluation of China’s currency. And the bill would increase the pressure on the Commerce Department to impose tariffs on undervalued Chinese products.

Given Beijing’s history of meeting fire with fire, many experts fear that China would retaliate on other fronts, like dragging its feet on customs inspections of American imports, opening new antidumping investigations against American goods or slowing its promised efforts to halt the stealing of American intellectual property. …

Beijing is not immune to pressure. But the Senate bill is too blunt an instrument.

DOONESBURY

I may need a vacation from my vacation I think I’m going to need a vacation from my vacation When you have a child, there is no such thing as a vacation.

It doesn’t matter where, when or how many of you go away on a trip, there is no such thing as a true ‘vacation’ with children.

Don’t get me wrong — I am in no way upset to be spending the next week in Hilton Head with my husband, little girl and another awesome couple and their son – but let’s face it, the amount of work involved in planning and packing for a beach vacation for four adults and two toddlers is pretty extensive.

And that’s not even factoring in the 12-hour drive (which doesn’t account for the multiple stops we’re going to have to make so my daughter – and husband – can go to the potty) we’re going to have to tackle to get to said beach getaway.

Needless to say, this ‘vacation’ is going to be amazing once we’re actually there, enjoying our friends, the beach and the free condo.

But until then, I’m going to go ahead and start a list of

Amanda Stewart Troy Daily News Columnist things that will make the whole getting there and surviving part a little easier.

For starters, we need a DVD player and about 138 episodes of “Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.”

And since we don’t have the time or funds to actually have one built into the car, we’re going to have to settle for one of those portable DVD players that straps to the headrest ( if we just let Pearyn hold it she’d end up programming it to Spanish and somehow sending a message to aliens because that’s what children do, they mess up your electronics).

Which, I’m honestly OK with this, because you can find a decent one online for less than

— Grant Kerber Troy

$100. Trust me, I’m incredibly frugal, but if a $100 portable DVD system and some incessant Mickey Mouse DVD’s will give me just a few hours of peace, it’s well worth the money.

And you can’t forget the snacks. Sure, our 17-month-old daughter might look small and dainty, but girl can put down some food. We’re talking a coconut yogurt, banana, two muffins and a diced up apple – just for breakfast. So if we’re going to be stuck in the car with our little bottomless pit for nearly half a day then we better make sure we have enough food to distract her with.

Let’s not forget about how we’re going to actually make it an entire week away from our house — you know — the one loaded up with all the toys Pearyn (and 50 other children) could ever need; the crib our child sleeps 12 miraculous hours a night in and the enormous gate we have sprawling through our living room to keep her from getting into our entertainment system. I have a feeling mommy and daddy will be sharing more of our bed than

we’d like with our little girl in Hilton Head.

And lastly, we’re still not sure how to get around this whole “Pearyn hating the ocean with the fury of 1,000 wildfires” thing. We spent a short vacation in April with my brother and his children at Pensacola Beach.

Needless to say, Pearyn was not the biggest fan of the ocean.

In fact, she wasn’t exactly even on tolerable terms with the ocean, the sand, the waves or basically anything that looked, smelled or sounded like the beach, so I’m not sure how she’s going to handle our condo being literally 10 steps away from it.

Maybe she’s developed a magical love for the salty water in the last six months?

I suppose we could always just stick by the kiddy pool, I mean, who goes to the beach to actually see the ocean?

If it’s anything like our last vacation, I’m banking on my child.

Afghan war anniversary draws attack KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — A suicide bomber and rocket fire struck U.S.-run outposts near the Pakistani border as the war in Afghanistan hit the 10-year mark Friday.

The Afghan president said there will be no end to the war until militants can no longer operate freely in Pakistan.

No deaths were reported among U.S. service members at the three outposts in Paktika province, and it was unclear if the attacks were timed to coincide with the anniversary of the start of the war. But the continued violence was a reminder of the resilience of the insurgency, which thrives in part because of sanctuaries in Pakistan.

A suicide bomber detonated a vehicle packed with explosives near the entrance to Combat Outpost Margah, which had also been hit with 22 rockets, accord-

ing to an Associated Press reporter at the scene. Combat Forward Operating Base Tillman was hit with a half-dozen rockets and Forward Operating Base Boris was struck with two.

In Washington, President Barack Obama noted the anniversary in a quiet style, offering a written statement and holding no public events to mark the moment. He said the United States is safer thanks to the sacrifice of troops, diplomats and intelligence analysts during the war.

Obama saluted the more than 1,700 U.S. troops who have died, along with the coalition and Afghan forces killed. He said that because of the effort, “our citizens are safer and our nation is more secure.”

Afghan President Hamid Karzai claimed the Taliban are being propped up by Pakistan,

saying the militants can’t lift a finger without the Pakistanis.

The war will only end when something is done to rout insurgents from their sanctuaries across the border in Pakistan, Karzai said in an interview with the BBC that aired on Friday, exactly 10 years after the U.S. and its allies invaded Afghanistan on Oct. 7, 2001.

The invasion was aimed at toppling the hard-line Taliban regime and punishing it for giving safe harbor to al-Qaida, which orchestrated the Sept. 11 attacks on the United States.

Over the years, the U.S.-led coalition became mired in a battle against insurgents who have been weakened by international troops yet continue to plant bombs and stage suicide attacks and assassinations of top Afghan figures.

“Definitely, the Taliban will

not be able to move a finger without Pakistani support,” Karzai said. “The fact is the Taliban were and are stationed, in terms of their political headquarters and operational headquarters, in Pakistan. We all know that. The Pakistanis know that. We know that.”

Militant sanctuaries in Pakistan won’t go away unless the government of Pakistan cooperates with Afghanistan and the international community finds an effective way to remove the hide-outs, he said.

“We’re not saying this in a manner of accusation and reprimand,” Karzai added, trying not to inflame already strained relations between the two nations.

“We are saying this in a manner of a statement intended towards a solution of the problem.”

Pakistan maintains it cut off ties to the Taliban and other mil-

itants following the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan, but Washington and Kabul say otherwise.

Obama said Thursday that Pakistan was “hedging its bets” by maintaining ties to militant groups trying to undermine the Afghan government. Obama also acknowledged that the United States has not been able to persuade Pakistan that the U.S. goals of a stable Afghanistan pose no threat to Pakistan.

Just-retired Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Adm. Mike Mullen went further, recently calling the Taliban-affiliated Haqqani insurgent network a “veritable arm” of the Pakistani intelligence agency. Mullen also alleged that Pakistani intelligence supported militants who mounted a recent 20-hour rocket attack on the U.S. Embassy and NATO headquarters in the capital, Kabul.

Rescued oil workers describe Gulf ocean ordeal

AP

Army 1st Sgt. Jason Friedly of New Bethlehem, Pa., hugs his son Tanner, 11, as daughter Lakyn looks on during 82nd Airborne Combat Aviation Brigade deployment to Afghanistan from Fort Bragg, N.C., Sept. 12.

Army aviators in high demand on the battlefront

By The Associated Press n the crowded hangar at Simmons Army Airfield at Fort Bragg, N.C., Aaron Williams is saying goodbye to his family.

Again.

It’s his third deployment to war, and the first since eight-month-old Derek was born.

“I’m getting out after this one,” he says, as his son, Tristan, 2, energetically waves the small flags he’s holding tightly in each hand.

“It’s too hard on the kids, too hard for me.”

For the members of the 82nd Airborne’s Combat Aviation Brigade, three war tours in the past five years is not uncommon.

On this hot and sticky September day at Fort Bragg, about 200 members of the brigade got their final medical checks, hoisted rucksacks and squeezed in their final farewell hugs with few outward signs of the strain wrought by the long and repeated deployments.

Army aviators the soldiers who fly attack missions, ferry troops and supplies and evacuate the wounded are in ever-increasing demand even as America eyes the exits in Afghanistan. The Afghanistan conflict, which marked its 10th anniversary Friday, is in many ways a helicopter war.

“This war is so helicopter-centric,” said Col. T.J. Jamison, the brigade commander. “We’re just limited in the number of helicopters we have. And, they are absolutely needed. You can’t get enough aviation into Afghanistan right now.”

The pilots are flying roughly 63 hours a month, nearly five times the peacetime average, and often through rugged Afghan mountain terrain in the pitch-black night.

Top Army leaders are well aware of the combat demands on their aviation brigades war requirements that have forced long and repeated tours to Iraq and Afghanistan. And they know that as the Pentagon works to extend the time soldiers spend at home between deployments, the aviation units will be among the last to see the longer breaks.

According to Army officials, their flight crews have flown more

I

than 1.2 million hours in Afghanistan as of mid-August, and triple that number in Iraq. The bulk of those are in Black Hawk and Apache helicopters.

To meet the war demands, the Army increased the number of aviation brigades, and now has 12 active duty and eight National Guard units. A 13th active duty brigade will be ready next year.

The grueling deployment pace is a key contributor to the devastating mental and emotional toll the wars are taking on America’s military people. The suicide rate has escalated across the services, along with incidents of post-traumatic stress disorder and traumatic brain injuries.

Officials estimate that as many as a fifth of the active duty troops has suffered acute stress, anxiety, depression or other mental problems from a war zone deployment.

But many don’t seek help, and commanders struggle to monitor their troops and recognize any early signs of distress.

Still, it’s difficult to predict who might be affected, or when.

Maj. Stanton Trotter, the aviation brigade’s chaplain, is moving through the hangar talking with soldiers and their families. He’ll go to these goodbye ceremonies until all 2,500 members have deployed.

On this day, there are the wideeyed, eager first-timers among the soldiers boarding buses that will take them on the first leg of a nearly weeklong journey to Afghanistan. There are also a lot of veterans who can tick off the dates of their multiple deployments, punctuated by asides on whether they were home or away for holidays or when their children were born.

When Lt. Col. John Cyrulik was figuring out the leave schedule for his Task Force Wolfpack battalion over the next year, he gave priority to those who had the most months at war since 2006.

“We have over a dozen that have been deployed nearly three years of the past five,” said Cyrulik. Others, he said, have seen as many as 30 months at war since 2006.

Pilot Charles Irving, a chief warrant officer 4, has 36 months under his belt. Next to him, Chief Warrant Officer 4 Keith Matz lists

33 months at war.

“This is the worst part getting there,” said Irving, referring to the weeklong succession of flights, changing planes and airport waiting they will do before landing in eastern Afghanistan. They will be there a year.

Asked about the stress, Matz shrugs, “It’s a job. I know what I’m getting into. You get into the daily routine, and the working time flies.”

According to Trotter, the problems with stress are about evenly split between the veterans and the first-timers.

The veterans, he said, can recall in detail their first battle, the first casualty, the first buddy they lost in combat “For those with more deployments, each incident brings up other intense times,” said Trotter, who is on his fourth deployment since 9/11. “And when they have a loss, they are grieving the losses from earlier deployments.”

In many cases, he said, the experienced ones become resilient and figure out how to manage their time and balance their activities.

The new ones, he said, find that it’s not what they thought it would be.

“There are long periods of dullness broken up by short periods of fear and intense combat,” said Trotter.

Sometimes, it’s those who don’t get out into combat who find it harder to cope.

For the air crews, there’s a bit of a release in going out on a mission.

But for the analysts or support staff back at the base, there are endless days sitting at desks, staring at computer screens, sorting through data. Commanders say that often those are the soldiers they need to watch, to make sure they get out, have exercise and break up the monotony.

Specialist Breeanna Taylor is one of the first-timers, and she doesn’t know exactly what to expect. She’s been told about the down time, but the 21-year-old is eager to get to the battlefront.

“This is what I wanted since I was five,” said the petite soldier, as the lines start to form near the buses. “The reason I joined was to go to war. I want to protect my country.”

HOUSTON (AP) — When waves as high as 40 feet disabled the 94-foot research vessel Jeremy Parfait and nine other oil workers were on in the Gulf of Mexico last month, he knew there was only one place they could go into the water.

But their boat, which normally would be elevated above the water by several metal legs, had toppled in the tropical storm and was floating helplessly, beaten by waves and wind. The 10 men jumped into the Gulf and clung to a 6foot-by-3-foot raft.

“We know we don’t want to go in that water. I can see it in their eyes. They are scared to death. They don’t want to go in that water. I don’t want to go in that water,” said Parfait, the boat’s captain.

Parfait, 39, and Ted Derise Jr., 32, told The Associated Press on Friday that the ordeal was a nightmare in which they saw friends and co-workers slowly die. The workers abandoned their vessel Sept. 8 about eight miles off shore from Frontera in the southeastern Mexican state of Tabasco. It was nearly four days before they were rescued. Three died in the water, and a fourth died later at a hospital.

As the men floated, Mexico’s state oil company, Petroleos Mexicanos, or Pemex, and the Mexican navy mounted a nearly 10,000-square-mile search by air and sea. Most were found just before noon Sept.

11 about 50 miles off the coast of the Mexican state of Campeche.

Derise and Parfait, who are from Louisiana, said they were pushed to the breaking point but never lost hope they would be rescued.

“When we hit the water, I kept telling them, ‘They are going to come find us,’” Parfait said.

Along with Derise and Parfait, four Mexican oil workers and a Bangladeshi were rescued alive. Craig

Myers, 32, and another American, Nicholas Reed, 31, were found dead. The Bangladeshi man, Nadimuzzman Khan, later died of exposure in a Mexican hospital. The body of another worker, Aaron Houweling of Australia, who had floated away earlier, was found three days later.

Parfait said that when he realized they would have to abandon their vessel, a liftboat called the Trinity II, he wasn’t worried because a standby ship about three miles away could come and get the workers. But he said that ship and another one that was also nearby failed to come to their aid.

Parfait, Derise and the family of one of the workers who died, Craig Myers, have filed a federal lawsuit in Houston against the companies involved in the operation, claiming they were abandoned. The companies sued, including being Geokinetics Inc., a Houstonbased company that provides seismic data to the oil and gas industry; Trinity Liftboat Services, a Louisiana-based company that operated the liftboat and that Parfait and Derise work for, did not return telephone calls seeking comment Friday night.

In addition to Derise, Parfait, Myers and Khan, the other workers were: Nicholas Reed, 31, of Louisiana; Aaron Houweling, of Australia; and Ruben Martinez Velasquez; Eleaquin Lopez; Luis Escobar; and Ruben Lopez Villalobos, four Mexican contract workers.

The men jumped in the water on Sept. 8, after their vessel became disabled.

Derise and Parfait say they are still dealing with psychological and medical issues from their ordeal.

“My wife wakes me up and I’m screaming. No matter what the dream is, I’m trying to get to them. The outcome is still the same. I can’t change nothing,” Parfait said.

AP

Ted Derise Jr., left, and ship’s captain Jeremy Parfait talk Friday in Houston about the four days they spent in the waters of the Gulf of Mexico waiting to be rescued after being forced to abandon ship in a tropical storm Sept. 8.

CHIROPRACTIC CARE

SPECIAL ADVERTISING SUPPLEMENT

Does chiropractic care really make sense?

Do you have the same nagging injury that never seems to go away?

Are you suffering needlessly with pain? Are you fed up with taking painkillers? Do you want to find out what is causing your pain? If your answer is ‘yes’ to any of these questions, then chiropractic may be a solution for you.

Typically, the chiropractic patient enters the office with some kind of pain. Back pain, neck pain, hip pain, leg pain, arm pain, shoulder pain, etc. comes in all different shapes and sizes. However, all of these pains share one common thread — they are all symptoms.

Symptoms tell you that something in your body has gone wrong. They serve as a warning system to alert you of a deeper problem. Healing occurs regardless of the symptoms experienced.

The quality of healing depends on the effectiveness of locating and addressing the cause.

Many people in today’s society experience pain due to abnormal structure of the neuromusculoskeletal system. The neuromussystem culoskeletal comprises the human

frame and posture.

Abnormal postural structure not only predisposes the human body’s systems to abnormal function but may ultimately result in an injury or chronic condition.

Altered alignment of the human frame may lead to poor healing and repair of the body tissues. These architectural and pathological

changes may occur in muscle, ligament, bone and central/peripheral system. nervous Chiropractic aims at therapeutically restoring these pathological deformations of the neuromusculoskeletal system and spine to allow for optimum function of the human frame and nervous system.

Correct spinal mechanics and the

Chiropractic care for your child

BY DR. JOHN KEEFE “Chiropractic care for my child? Why? His back doesn’t bother him.” How often chiropractors have encountered parents who appreciate the importance of regular checkups for their child’s teeth, hearing, eyes and ears but draw a blank when it comes to a spinal checkup. In fact, a spinal checkup could be one of the most important checkups your child will ever have.

Your child’s spine is his/her lifeline because running through it is the spinal cord, containing billions of nerve fibers that send messages and energy from the brain to every part of their body.

If there is blockage of any of the nerves along the spinal cord, any nerve damage at all, then a state of ” dis-ease” will develop. Dis-ease means dis-harmony in the body that will cause generalized weakening of your child’s body, lowered resistance to disease, and consequent body malfunction and sickness.

Blockage of nerves in the spinal column are usually caused by tiny fixations and misalignments of the spinal vertebrae that are called vertebral subluxations. Only chiropractors are trained to detect and correct subluxations, much like only a dentist finds cavities.

Subluxations can be caused by the birth process, the very physical childhood activities of running and jumping, falls and accidents.

Because your children (and you) may have spinal subluxations and not know it, all children need periodic spinal checkups. There are however certain warning signs indicating that the spinal column may be out of alignment: one hip or shoulder is higher than the other, hyperactivity and can’t sit still, frequent falling, a foot turned in or out (foot flare), neck tilt, one leg shorter than the other, chronic fatigue, “noisy bones” or joint aches, and

skin conditions. Some other indicators are increased allergies, colds and flu, asthma and ear infections. A recent study of 332 children showed that chronic ear infection sufferers under chiropractic care had no more infections in 80 percent of the cases (Journal of Clinical Chiropractic Pediatrics, Vol.2, No.2 1997).

The Chiropractic Approach By releasing stress on the nervous system with very gentle and safe chiropractic adjustments, the body will work more effectively and be able to express better health.

The nervous system controls EVERY function of the body (Gray’s Anatomy) and thus the nervous system when not interfered with by subluxations can enable the body to heal itself and be healthy.

No matter what health concerns you or your children may have, you can benefit from a healthy spine. Spinal health can be as important for your overall healing as proper nutrition. Are you and your family carrying vertebral subluxations in your spines? A spinal

checkup can tell. Among the many things contributing to your health: the quality of the air, food and water you take in, how you handle stress, your inherited weaknesses, strengths and activity levels — a healthy spine is absolutely essential. In some people and children it is a major factor and can make the difference between a life of health, strength and vitality or a life of disease, weakness and disability.

More and more families are finding that chiropractic care for their children makes a big difference in their health.

Every day we see children in our office getting healthier as they receive adjustments, because their parents who saw benefits from chiropractic care for themselves wanted their children to have the same. One of the comments that we hear over and over again is “My child doesn’t seem to get sick as often since getting adjusted.”

Why not include chiropractic spinal checkups for you and your children? It may be the best move for your family’s health you’ll ever make.

health of the whole neuromusculoskeletal system are interdependent.

Therefore, chiropractic treatment focuses on restoring proper spinal mechanics which will, in turn, influence the function of the nervous system.

Chiropractic rehabilitation enhances the healing process and assists the body in its efforts to heal itself by controlling the longterm degenerative changes in the human frame and posture. Care is based upon the human process of healing. The healing process is categorized into fairly distinct progressive stages. Consequently, conservative chiropractic rehabilitative care flows with these stages.

It is not the intention of this article to provide an in-depth review of rehabilitative chiropractic care and/or the healing process; rather, the purpose is to highlight some of the pertinent concepts in understanding how one can achieve better health through chiropractic care.

Acute inflammatory stage This initial stage of

response to injury lasts up to 72 hours. The goals of care during this phase of healing are directed at reducing the reactive inflammatory response and eventual removal of debris from the tissues. Clinical management includes the use of chiropractic adjustments, ice, heat, gentle range of motion exercises and passive stretching.

Repair stage The repair stage lasts from 72 hours up to 6 weeks and is characterized by the synthesis and deposition of collagen (scar formation) in an attempt to regenerate damaged tissue.

During this stage the body’s main concern is the increase of the quantity of collagen to replaced damaged tissue. However, this new scar formation is not fully oriented in the right direction and is of a mechanically inferior quality.

Clinical goals during this phase include freeing early adhesions and maintaining muscular tone and ligamentous integrity.

Remodeling stage This stage lasts from

3 weeks to 12 months or more (depending on the severity of the injury), during which time the collagen scar is remodeled to increase the function of the new tissue.

The rehabilitative goals primarily involve improving the quality, orientation and strength of the collagen.

This is accomplished by alignment of global body positions and posture, increasing functional capacity, reducing stress/strain on involved injured structures and management of disability.

So, when does the healing occur? It starts immediately after the injury and can last for over a year depending on the severity of the injury and the action steps taken to help the body heal efficiently.

Addressing an injury as early as possible using chiropractic care can result in the best possible scenario of full recovery. your Addressing chronic injuries now results in the return of a pain-free lifestyle, doing all the things you love to do.

Chiropractics heals a host of ailments naturally

BY RAY LA FOY If you’re tired of taking a pill for every ache and pain, perhaps it’s time to consider chiropractic.

This form of medicine relies more heavily on natural supplements and the body’s own ability to heal itself when the right adjustments are made.

Finding a good chiropractor can be a task in and of itself, but there are literally thousands of them in America alone. The Internet can be a great tool for locating those in your area and finding those that come with high marks from past and present patients.

Chiropractors adjust the body by putting the spine back into alignment, work muscles and help relieve tension and pain without resorting to heavy prescriptions, in most cases. Good chiropractors will do everything within their power to help patients avoid the use of unnecessary drugs and chemicals and even surgery but will admit when more “conventional” medicine can make a difference. Oftentimes, they work in conjunction with more mainstream doctors to ensure a patient’s overall health is in good hands.

There are a number of

conditions that chiropractors can help with and some can seem a little surprising. But, considering the fact that the spine, muscles and nerves are greatly affected by most major illnesses, injuries and even minor afflictions, it should come as no surprise that chiropractic is beneficial for more than just stiff necks.

This form of medicine is effective in treating everything from back pain and muscle weakness to headaches, colds and beyond. When the body’s bones and muscles are manipulated correctly a whole host of illnesses can be relieved and possibly even eliminated.

A typical appointment will involve an assessment, muscle relaxation, adjustments and possibly even a massage or more, depending on the ailment.

Finding a good chiropractor takes a little common sense. The Internet is a good tool to use for doing so. When looking for a doctor in your area, check into the following: What is the doctor’s b a c k g r o u n d ?

Chiropractic is not quackery. Serious medical study and advanced degrees and licensing are required to practice this. Doctors should be licensed and

members of chiropractic boards. Check into any complaints filed against the doctor. Remember, that even the best doctors get an occasional black mark from a patient that quite likely no one could have made happy. Look for trends rather than one-instance complaints.

Does your insurance cover chiropractic? Most companies do cover at least a portion of treatments.

Whether automobile policies following accidents or regular medical insurance, chiropractic is considered a viable alternative to regular medicine.

Does the chiropractor accept your insurance? If not, check around for one that does.

Is the chiropractor recommended by others? Friends? Family?

Your physician? Find a doctor you can have trust in and you should be all set.

By relying on the body’s own ability — with a bit of assistance — to mend itself when the kinks are worked out, chiropractic is a very viable option for treating a whole host of illnesses.

Getting a reliable doctor is fairly simple, too, as long as a little bit of research goes into the search.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

You might consider going back to counseling Dear Annie: More than 40 years ago, I was the target of cruel bullying. A girl who hated me started a vicious rumor that ruined my reputation.

She said I slept with the entire football team. If that wasn't enough, she and a carful of girls drove by my house one night while I was sitting with my parents and blurted out this terrible lie.

My father went to her house and told her to stop, but it didn't help. My own mother questioned me about the truth of it.

This lie has trailed me my whole life. It has haunted me for years, and I have had moments of self-loathing to the point of wanting to die. At the time, I even went to the police station, but they thought it was funny.

This "girl" now is the pillar of the community and a do-gooder, but I've been told she is hateful.

My question is: How do I get over this? I went to therapy once and asked about confronting this person.

I was told it was pointless, that she doesn't even remember.

This rumor destroyed my life.

What should I do? — Strong but Broken Dear Broken: If confronting this woman would make you feel better, go right ahead. However, she seems the type who would derive great satisfaction from knowing how much power she has had over your life for the past 40 years. And you have given her that power by clinging to your hurt.

The best revenge is to live a terrific, rewarding life in which this woman is insignificant. You need to heal from this grievous wound, and it requires forgiveness and acceptance so you can move forward without anger and regret.

Please return for counseling.

One session is not enough to work through this.

Dear Annie: My husband is a retired supervisor from a local government job. As a result, we often go to functions where all employees are invited, both the retired and those still working.

One of the people my husband hired before he left singles me out and makes embarrassing remarks about me in front of the group, but only when my husband is out of the room.

I have tried to politely ignore him and have also asked for some support from my husband.

He thinks I should just suck it up. As a result of this unkind behavior, I no longer wish to attend these functions.

Now my husband is angry with me. What am I supposed to do? — Sad Dear Sad: When adolescent boys had a crush on a girl, they would pull their pigtails. When this man makes inappropriate comments about you, put on your sultriest look, smile and say loudly for everyone to hear, "My, my. You are really desperate for my attention, especially when my husband isn't around."

No matter what he says after that, you should respond as if he is trying to hide an infatuation.

That should do it.

Dear Annie: This is in response to "Spell Check," whose college friend cannot spell and is a special-ed teacher.

I, too, am a special education teacher and can't spell to save my life. But it has never impeded the ability of my students to learn.

I even use my weakness to my benefit. I announce at the beginning of the school year that I am dyslexic.

I explain that if I misspell something, they may politely raise their hand and correct me and receive an extra-credit point toward their next quiz. You should see the additional participation and improved grades!

Being a bad speller does not mean I'm unintelligent, nor does it mean I cannot teach. I have earned my degree and my job. — Dyslexic and Proud in Utah Annie's Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

YESTERDAY’S SOLUTION:

HINTS FROM HELOISE

The handicap debate continues to rage Dear Readers: A letter from a reader about not finding a handicap van space available when shopping sparked a lot of comments. I mentioned that not all handicapped people “look” handicapped.

This topic, as always, struck a nerve. Here are what just a few readers had to say: • Linda, via e-mail, says: “I am one of those seemingly ’able-bodied’ people who have a handicap tag. I suffer from conditions where I am unable to walk more than a dozen feet without getting out of breath. I get dirty looks from people because my handicap is not apparent. I wish people would not be so quick to judge, because not all handicaps are vis-

Hints from Heloise Columnist ibly apparent.”

• Christine, via email, says: “Thank you for pointing out that all disabilities are not always visible. I was accosted in a parking lot by a woman who apparently has amazing powers of medical deduction. One look and she ’knew’ I was either perfectly healthy or miraculously healed.

The state determines eligibility

for who gets the placards or plates. I make a point of parking in smaller spaces than those used by vans with a ramp because I know that there are those who need the extra space.”

• Judy in Ohio says: “I beg to differ with the reader who objects to vehicles other than vans parking in the van-accessible spots.

The signs, at least in my state, don’t say ’Van only.’ When a person is disabled, as in my case, I say, ’First come, first served.’”

Thanks to all who wrote. — Heloise REFRIGERATOR MAGNETS Dear Heloise: After reading a hint about refrigerator magnets, I had to let you know how we

solved the problem. My husband hated the clutter on the refrigerator. We have a small cabinet off to the side in the kitchen. We bought brand-new cookie sheets that would fit on the cabinet. He installed them on the front of the cabinet, and that is where my decorative and favorite magnets are kept. They are still in the kitchen and fun to look at. — Jo Ellen Keller, Vincennes, Ind. EASY HINT Dear Readers: When you have boxes of dry milk, instant potatoes or other food, sometimes you get down to the bottom only to find that the food will no longer come out of the spout. I cut the box in half and then pour out what’s left. No waste! — Heloise

ARLO AND JANIS

HOROSCOPE Saturday, Oct. 8, 2011 Certain factors or elements that will pass your way in the coming months and that are meaningless to others could be great contributors to your success. Watch for the unusual, discarded and forgotten to provide some tasty opportunities.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Usually it can be more effective to use a soft sell, but if this isn’t the case for you at this point don’t hesitate to assert your points and/or position. Go for the mattresses, and you’ll end up quite comfy.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Working in close conjunction with a cohort can make things easier for both of you, but if you have to do an assignment all on your own, don’t fret. You’ll do a bang-up job.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Even if you get off to a tardy start, you’ll still be capable of accomplishing all that you want to get done. You should be remarkably efficient and productive.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — As much as you may be tempted to burn the candle at both ends, it may not be such a good idea to do so. Your energy, initiative and luck may all have their limitations, and besides, you’re low on wax.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Tasks that are too difficult or more than anyone wants to handle could all be dumped in your lap. Yet it’ll be exactly these kinds of jobs that put you in such a good light with the powers that be.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — Listen carefully when conversing with friends. There is a good chance that some kind of information could be mentioned in passing that is meaningless to others but very valuable to you.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) — By utilizing your smarts in all your endeavors, both in business-related issues as well as personal ones, this can be one of your more successful days. Keep your gray cells a-popping.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Just because a difficult objective isn’t achieved on your first try doesn’t mean you should chuck the old terry cloth.

Your resolve and persistence could pay off.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — By doing what you said you would do, you will show others just how trustworthy and reliable you really are. It’s our mode of behavior that wins us the respect of our peers.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) — Should you hear through the rumor mill that a pal of yours is feeling neglected and forgotten, make the necessary time to assuage this fretful friend. Chums are too valuable to lose.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Even if you see yourself as an underdog, don’t let up on your efforts to accomplish your goals. You should do rather well, even in competitive developments, by never giving up.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — If you want things to work out in a positive manner, you must remain confident of being able to reach your goals, even if you are challenged beyond what you thought. You’re luckier than you suspect.

TODAY IN HISTORY (AP) — Today is Saturday, Oct. 8, the 281st day of 2011. There are 84 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Oct. 8, 1871, the Great Chicago Fire erupted; fires also broke out in Peshtigo, Wis., and in several communities in Michigan.

On this date: • In 1869, the 14th president of the United States, Franklin Pierce (puhrs), died in Concord, N.H. • In 1918, U.S. Army Cpl. Alvin C.York led an attack that killed 25 German soldiers and captured 132

others in the Argonne Forest in France.

• In 1934, Bruno Hauptmann was indicted by a grand jury in New Jersey for murder in the death of the son of Charles A. Lindbergh.

• In 1945, President Harry S. Truman announced that the secret of the atomic bomb would be shared only with Britain and Canada.

• In 1956, Don Larsen pitched the only perfect game in a World Series to date as the New York Yankees beat the Brooklyn Dodgers in Game 5, 2-0.

California pot dispensary crackdown begins SACRAMENTO, California (AP) — Federal prosecutors announced an aggressive crackdown against California pot dispensaries Friday, vowing to shut down dozens of growing and sales operations and saying that the worst offenders are using the cover of medical marijuana to act as storefront drug dealers.

Officials described it as the first coordinated statewide offensive against marijuana dealers and suppliers who use California’s 15year-old medical marijuana law as legal cover for running sophisticated drug trafficking ventures in plain sight.

“California’s marijuana industry supplies the nation,” said U.S. Attorney Benjamin Wagner, who represents the state’s Central Valley. “Huge amounts of marijuana grown here in this state is flowing east to other states, and huge amounts of money are flowing back in the opposite direction.”

Landlords leasing property to dozens of warehouses and agricultural parcels where marijuana is being grown and retail spaces where pot is sold over the counter are receiving written warnings to evict their tenants or face criminal charges or seizure of their assets, the state’s four U.S. attorneys said.

“The intention regarding medical marijuana under California state law was to allow marijuana to be supplied to seriously ill people on a nonprofit basis,” said U.S. Attorney Melinda Haag, the top federal law enforcement officer for the San Francisco Bay area. “What we are finding, however, is that California’s laws have been hijacked by people who are in this to get rich and don’t care at all about sick people.”

The crackdown comes a little more than two months after the Obama administration toughened its stand on medical marijuana.

For two years before that, federal officials had indicated they would not move aggressively against dispensaries in compliance with laws in the 16 states where pot is legal for people with doctors’ recommendations.

The Department of Justice issued a policy memo to federal prosecutors in late June stating that marijuana dispensaries and licensed growers in states with medical marijuana laws could face prosecution for violating federal drug and money-laundering laws.

• In 1957, the Brooklyn Baseball Club announced it was accepting an offer to move the Dodgers from New York to Los Angeles.

• Today’s Birthdays: Civil rights activist Rev. Jesse Jackson is 70. Comedian Chevy Chase is 68.

Author R.L. Stine is 68. Actor Dale Dye is 67. Actress Sigourney Weaver is 62. Actress Kim Wayans is 50.

THE WORLD IN BRIEF

Search team comes up empty

AP

Laura Duffy, the United States Attorney for the Southern District of California, displays photos of marijuana cotton candy found for sale at a medical marijuana dispensary in her district, during a news conference Friday in Sacramento, Calif.

The effort to shutter California dispensaries appeared to be the most far-reaching effort so far to put that guidance into action.

The crackdown will likely unify marijuana growers and sellers in a drive to change federal policy, National Cannabis Industry Association spokeswoman Melissa Milam said.

“We’re not going anywhere.

We’re mothers, we’re patients, we’re family members of patients,” she said. “We want to pay taxes, we want to be able to make deposits at our bank, we want to be a business.”

Not all of the thousands of storefront pot dispensaries thought to be operating in the state are being targeted in the crackdown, which also involves new indictments and arrests of marijuana growers throughout the state over the past two weeks, said Wagner, who represents the state’s Central Valley.

The strategies they are using vary somewhat, with warning letters issued by the U.S. attorney in San Diego giving recipients 45

days to comply and property owners in Los Angeles and the Central Coast given just two weeks to evict pot dispensaries or growers.

Haag said she is initially going after pot shops located close to schools, parks, sports fields and other places where there are a lot of children.

Wagner also is targeting what he termed “significant commercial operations,” including farmland where marijuana is being grown.

Andre Birotte Jr., U.S. attorney in the Los Angeles area, is prioritizing dispensaries in communities where local officials have been trying unsuccessfully to shut down marijuana businesses.

Three of the four prosecutors declined to reveal how many dispensaries are subject to closure orders, saying only there were dozens in each of their four districts. Birotte said 38 property owners in his district were sent warnings.

Birotte said his office already had initiated property forfeiture proceedings involving three properties whose owners had received

prior warnings. One is an Orange County strip mall where eight of the 11 second-floor suites are occupied by dispensaries and doctors’ offices for doctors where healthy individuals obtain “sham” recommendations to use medical marijuana.

It is “a Costco, Walmart-type model that we see across California,” Birotte said, alleging that some people making money from medical marijuana openly revel in what some have called “the new California gold rush.”

Haag said the move is not designed to clamp down on patients who grow their own marijuana for medical use. But dispensaries that were not part of the initial wave of warning letters “shouldn’t take any comfort,” she said. “They are illegal under federal law.”

“I understand there are people in California who believe marijuana stores should be allowed to exist, but I think we can all agree we don’t need marijuana stores across the street from schools and Little League fields,” she said.

ORANJESTAD, Aruba (AP) — A team of cadaver dogs summoned to help search for the remains of a Maryland woman reported missing by her travel companion during a trip to Aruba are leaving the island without finding any clues, officials said Friday.

Prosecutor Taco Stein said he was not concerned that the search did not yield any evidence.

The dogs searched a southeastern section of the Dutch Caribbean island known as Seroe Colorado.

It is near the site where Gary Giordano reported 35year-old Robyn Gardner of Frederick, Maryland, missing on Aug. 2.

Giordano, a businessman from Gaithersburg, Maryland, said she was carried away by currents while they snorkeled in the southern tip of the island.

He has denied wrongdoing but remains jailed because police question his account of her disappearance.

Report: Ruins may be church LIMA, Peru — Archaeologists say they’ve discovered the ruins of what is believed to be Peru’s oldest Roman Catholic church.

Archaeologist Cesar Astuhuaman says the church outside the northern coastal city of Piura was built in 1534 but its mud walls deteriorated over time as Spanish conquistadors abandoned the area.

Scientists say historical documents discovered in an archive in Sevilla, Spain, helped them find the ruins, whose rectangular stone perimeter remains intact along with an altar.

Piura was the first city established in Peru by adventurers led by Francisco Pizarro.

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 Union branches are 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.

Passing The Test AVONDALE, Ariz. (AP) — NASCAR Sprint Cup teams completed testing Wednesday at repaved and reconfigured Phoenix International Raceway.

Thirty-five teams hit the mile oval on the second day of the test in preparation for the Kobalt Tools 500 on Nov. 13, the ninth event in the 10-race Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup championship.

“As we ran the track, it got a lot better with rubber,” said Carl Edwards, tied with Kevin Harvick for the Chase lead. “As treacherous as this place was in the Goodyear tire test, as tough as it was to drive, it got better the whole day. I think we have a lot to look forward to once the track gets more rubber on it.”

START/FINISH

New IndyCars are a hit

Bowyer Joins MWR KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) — Clint Bowyer was in a strange predicament a couple months ago.

The veteran driver already had lined up sponsorship for next season, no easy task in a sluggish economy, but he couldn’t seem to work out an agreement to remain with Richard Childress Racing.

So, Bowyer looked elsewhere and took his sponsorship right along with him.

On Friday, Michael Waltrip Racing announced that it had signed Bowyer to a three-year deal to drive the No. 15 Toyota next season. The sponsor, 5-hour ENERGY, will come on board for 24 races beginning with the Daytona 500, leaving the team with a dozen sponsorship dates left to fill.

Jimmie Johnson, left, watches from his hauler during practice for the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at Kansas Speedway in Kansas City, Kan. Friday.

Wide-open Chase No clear-cut favorite for championship DOVER, Del. (AP) — Jimmie Johnson has yet to take off on his traditional run of Chase dominance. Tony Stewart has two wins in the 10-race postseason without a points lead to show for his checkered flags. Kyle Busch’s four wins in the first 26 races have meant nothing the last three weeks.

Three races into the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship, no clear-cut favorite has emerged out of the pack of 12.

The standings are so tight entering the fourth Chase race this weekend at Kansas Speedway that there’s a tie at the top. Kevin Harvick and Carl Edwards have the same number of points but Harvick holds the tiebreaker because of his four season victories compared with Edwards’ one.

The top eight drivers are separated by only 15 points the top nine by 19.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. is in serious trouble, and Ryan Newman and Denny Hamlin are the bottom two drivers and can start planning for next season.

With seven races left, the Chase is wide open.

“I think the competition level is so even,” Harvick said. “I don’t think you’re going to see anybody come in here and dominate like you have, as far as just taking off and running away. It’s just a matter of keeping yourself in it until you get to the last couple of races. If you

can keep yourself in contention, hopefully you’ve eliminated most of the other guys in the Chase.”

The revamped points system has tightened the field and made serious swings in the standings possible. Johnson went from 10th place and 29 points behind the leader entering Dover to fifth place and 13 points out after a secondplace finish to Kurt Busch on the Monster Mile. Busch’s victory moved him from ninth to fourth in the standings, only nine points behind Harvick and Edwards.

More changes are ahead at Kansas.

Stewart, Johnson, Newman, Brad Keselowski and Jeff Gordon all have won races at Kansas.

Harvick, whose best Kansas finish was a third in 2010, considers himself a contender to race into Victory Lane even with a 14.3 average finish at the 1.5-mile speedway.

“Right now, we are looking for a championship, so whatever we have got to do to fight through that is what we’ll do,” he said. “You need to run good at all of them. You can’t run bad at any of them, to tell you the truth, but Kansas has been a place where we have been pretty good.”

After Johnson’s mediocre by his standards start to the Chase, some thought his five-year run atop the Cup standings was over. But the Hendrick Motorsports driver proved he will always be a threat

for the title and saw his bid for another win at Dover throttled only by a pair of poor restarts against Kurt Busch late in the race.

It may have cost him the race, but he thrust himself back into the championship picture.

“The Chase is so tough to know what it’s going to take,” Johnson said. “We look at the 14 car and what he did in the first two races and then he struggles. I think it speaks to how tough these 10 races are going to be and how you think somebody is one fire and the fire can go out.”

Stewart had smoked the field with Chase-opening wins at Chicagoland and New Hampshire, using a strong car and fuel mileage to outlast, as much as outclass, the rest of the field.

At Dover, it all fell apart.

He could never get it going on the track, from practice to qualifying to racing 400 miles on the concrete. He entered in first place with a seven-point lead in the standings and left nine points back and in third after he finished 25th.

Edwards, a Columbia, Mo., native, was one pit road speeding penalty from winning at Dover. The winner of one race and the All-Star race, Edwards led the standings for 14 weeks and hopes a win on the closest thing he has to a home track can be the big momentum builder toward his first championship.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Scott Dixon likes the sound and safety features of the new IndyCars.

Dan Wheldon prefers the way they handle.

Will Power is all for the turbochargers.

Each of the three drivers who have been testing the 2012 cars over the past week has favorite aspects in next year’s model, but they agree on one thing the new cars will be a welcome change for drivers and fans.

“We’ve got a totally new package of technology, it’s closer to what people use in their cars,” Dixon said after Tuesday’s session at MidOhio. “It’s a lot lighter, it’s more nimble and to me, it’s more up-to-date.”

There are many differences between this season’s version and next year’s.

Turbochargers return to the series for the first time since the 1990s, giving drivers a more powerful and efficient V6 engine.

There will be less noise at races, and track records may no longer be just a thing of the past at Indianapolis, the series’ highest-profile venue.

Fans will get to see competition among engine manufacturers.

Chevrolet, Honda and Lotus are all on board for next season, and teams have begun deciding which one they’ll choose.

And safety will be upgraded, too. In fact, Dixon, a two-time IndyCar champ and the 2008 Indy 500 winner for Target Chip Ganassi, believes the new car is built better to handle crashes no matter what speeds drivers achieve.

“The seating is a big safety improvement,” said Dixon, a New Zealand native. “There’s 3 inches of foam surrounding the cockpit before you even put the seat in, so things like what happened with Justin Wilson at Mid-Ohio earlier this year, I think, will be eliminated and you won’t have those big forces being pushed through the drivers.”

Wilson broke a vertebra in his back when he spun off the course and hit a bump between Turns 1 and 2 in August.

Dixon is all for the changes, and he’s not alone.

Power, second in points heading into next weekend’s season finale at Las Vegas, was scheduled to test with Dixon on Tuesday and Wednesday in Ohio. Dixon ran the Honda engine, Power took the Chevy.

Danica Patrick prepared for final IndyCar hurrah KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) — Danica Patrick is ready for one last hurrah in IndyCars before she turns her attention entirely to her blossoming stock car career.

The IndyCar icon has raced a partial Nationwide schedule the past two seasons during her muchpublicized transition to NASCAR. Her final openwheel race is the IndyCar World Championships on Oct. 16 in Las Vegas, and then it’s on to her full-time

ride with Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s JR Motorsports.

“I’m ready for change,” Patrick said Friday at Kansas Speedway, where she was preparing for Saturday’s Nationwide Series race.

“There will be things and people I miss about IndyCar, especially on frustrating weekends,” she said. “I’ll think, ‘Well, I came here in IndyCar and it was so much easier.’ But I’m excited about the change and I’m not afraid

of the change.”

Patrick shot to stardom when she led the Indianapolis 500 in 2005, and then proved its was no fluke when she won in Japan in 2008. But success has often been fleeting for Patrick, who is 10th in the IndyCar points standings and hasn’t finished better than fifth all season.

Part of her struggles are tied to the fact that she hasn’t always had the best equipment. That’s hardly the case with JR

Motorsports, which runs engines from high-powered Hendrick Motorsports.

After running 13 times on the Nationwide Series with middling success last year, Patrick has showed a spark this season. She qualified fourth for the season-opening race at Dayton, finished a careerbest fourth at Las Vegas and notched back-to-back top-10 runs at Chicago and Daytona.

She ran 18th in her last

Nationwide start at Richmond.

“She has what it takes to do it, and I think she’s gotten better every week,” Nationwide points leader Ricky Stenhouse Jr. said.

“You watch her unload at Richmond to where she was in the race and ran a lot faster, better and more consistent I think next year, once she starts racing, you’ll see a big progression from the beginning to the end of the season.”

Troy’s Isaiah Williams slips out of a tackle attempt by Piqua’s Kindric Link Friday during the Trojans’ 27-7 victory over the Indians at Troy Memorial Stadium — the fifth straight win in the rivalry series for the Trojans.

Five in a row for Troy Trojans top rival Indians in 127th meeting

BY DAVID FONG Executive Editor fong@tdnpublishing.com The emotion of the moment did what the Piqua defense could not.

It stopped Isaiah Williams.

“This wasn’t about me — this was about me and my ‘brothers’ on this team,” the Troy football team’s senior halfback said as he choked back tears. “I’m just glad to be a part of this.”

TROY Be sure to catch Sunday’s Troy Daily News for more on the Troy-Piqua game, as well as full box scores from all of Friday night’s action.

Williams was a massive part of Troy’s 27-7 win over rival Piqua in the 127th meeting between the two schools. With the win, Troy (6-1, 2-0 in the Greater Western Ohio Conference North Division) took a 62-59-6 lead in the series over Piqua (3-4, 0-2) in front of an estimated crowd of 10,487 at Troy Memorial Stadium.

Not only did Williams torch the Indians, he drenched his coach.

After the game, Williams dumped a full cooler of Gatorade on Troy coach Steve Nolan, who celebrated his 200th win at Troy by topping the Indians.

“This is a great night,” Williams said. “This is a perfect night. It’s the greatest night of

my career.”

Blown away Bulldogs blast Arrows, 48-22

BY JOSH BROWN Sports Editor jbrown@tdnpublishing.com Tyler Brown could have gone 61 yards untouched for a touchdown.

But he slowed down just so he could deliver a devastating stiffarm to the only defender that could have caught him before coasting in.

“Yes I did, sir,” Brown said when asked if that’s what happened.

Brown had a breakout game, finishing with 176 yards and three touchdowns on 10 carries, Jake Finfrock had a milestone night, passing the 2,000-yard

“We had a nice drive with about five minutes left,” Current said. “We got the ball down to the 10 and we just couldn’t get it in. We held them on defense, they punted to pin us down deep in our territory and we just couldn’t get the ball moving.”

Milton-Union’s Tyler Brown rushed for 176 yards and three touchdowns Friday against Preble Shawnee.

Bulldogs ■ CONTINUED FROM B1 speed and angle to get to Brown before he scored, and Brown seemingly let him catch up — just so he could lay him out with a stiff-arm to the face and ensure the 61-yard score.

“I just wanted to make sure I got the touchdown,” Brown said.

After a three-and-out

by Preble Shawnee, the Bulldogs moved the ball to the Arrows’ 35 in two quick plays. Brown took another handoff up the middle and headed for the left sideline. This time a defender stood between him and the end zone – but Brown lowered his shoulder, blew him backwards and plowed his way in.

“Yesterday I had muscle spasms in my leg and didn’t even know if I’d get to play tonight,” Brown said. “I looked up and saw that we were only up six and knew I had to get into the end zone. Coach (Bret Pearce) calls me a leader on this team, so I knew I had to do it.’

Finfrock needed only 58 yards to reach the 2,000-yard mark – and he had it after four touches. He scored a 14yard touchdown on the Bulldogs’ first play from scrimmage and added a 20-yard score in the first quarter, and Brown added a 15-yard score in between.

Finfrock finished with 137 yards and four scores on 13 carries.He added a 19-yard touchdown on the Bulldogs’ first possession of the second half to make it 41-14 and,

after the Arrows drove 55 yards on eight plays to chip into the lead, scored on an 11 yard run on the first play of the fourth quarter to seal it and send the game into garbage time for the next 12 minutes.

“Those two guys know what to do with the football,” Pearce said of Finfrock and Brown.

“They both have great balance and good strength. And the other nine guys on the field block so well — I can’t say enough about this whole team.”

Milton-Union had 251 yards on 19 attempts in the first half — an average of 13.2 yards per carry.

The defense played a big role, as well, sacking Preble Shawnee quarterback David Hughes a whopping eight times and, after giving up 128 yards passing in the first half, holding Hughes to only 48 through the air in the second half, with Finrock adding an interception.

“We did some things wrong tonight, but we recovered from it,” Pearce said. “The whole team played really well tonight. I couldn’t be more proud of them.”

Now Milton-Union, which entered tonight tied for the lead in the SWBL Buckeye with Waynesville, goes on the road for two straight huge tests. The Bulldogs travel to Dixie next week before facing off at Waynesville in Week 9 in the hopes of playing for a league title.

■ CONTINUED FROM B1 a row over its rival — the first time that has happened since Troy beat Piqua six times in a row from 1976-1981.

“This was a great team effort,” Nolan said. “Our defense has played so well the past two weeks. We came out and we shut them down — which we figured we would need to do, because Piqua’s defense is so good.”

Troy wasted little time jumping out on the Indians. On the third play of the game, Trojan junior defensive back Devin Blakely jumped in front of a pass by Piqua quarterback Taylor Welbaum, picking it off and returning it to the Indian 29. Six plays later, Troy senior Marcus Foster punched it in from 1 yard out to put the Trojans up early.

Late in the first quarter, Troy would extend its lead when senior quarter back Cody May hooked up with Williams on a 60yard strike down to the Indian 4 yard line.

“I saw their safeties coming up and try to jump the hitch route,” May said.

“I know Isaiah has a lot of speed — I know if I put it out there, Piqua didn’t have anybody who could keep up with him. There’s nobody who can keep up with him. We felt confident coming into this game — and it feels good to beat them. I can’t stand Piqua.”

That would be all Troy would need in the game — thanks in large part to Troy’s defense, which stifled Piqua’s offense all night. The Indians were able to move the ball deep into Trojan territory four times on the night — including inside Troy’s 5 yard line in the second half — but only came away with one score. In addition to Blakely’s interception early in the game, Trojan linebacker Ian Nadolny recovered a fumble to thwart a potential Piqua scoring drive.

“This feels great,” senior inside linebacker Zach Butcher said. “It’s pretty much a tradition now that we beat Piqua. We never lost to these guys — not in junior high, not as freshmen, not ever. Piqua was talking reckless all week,

Late in the third quarter — after Nadolny’s fumble recovery gave the Trojans the ball at their own 42, Troy would add another touchdown, this time on a 7 yard strike from May to senior receiver Ian Dunaway. Senior running backs Nick James and Zach Jones did most of the heavy lifting on the drive to set up the touchdown. James finished the night with nine carries for 99 yards, while Jones added five carries for 34 yards.

Early in the fourth quarter, the Trojans would ice the game. Piqua punter Evan Grissom ripped off a 45 yard punt that Dunaway fielded at his own 10. He took off down the left side of the field, picking up a series of bonejarring blocks along the way. He would return the punt 86 yards to the Piqua 4 yard line. Two plays later, Williams capped off his night with his second touchdown, a 7 yard scamper.

“I knew their punter had been outkicking their coverage all night,” Dunaway said. “I know when I got the punt I would have some time to

return it. I just took off down the left side and got some great blocks. Once you get out in front like that, you can’t help but smile.”

Piqua would add a touchdown on a Ryan Hughes run midway through the fourth quarter — but it was far too little, far too late. The last six minutes largely turned into a coronation for the Trojans.

Troy now controls its own destiny both in terms of winning a GWOC North title and making a secondconsecutive playoff run.

Troy faces a huge matchup this coming Friday against TrotwoodMadison, which entered its game Friday night with Xenia undefeated. Troy would need to beat Trotwood and Sidney in Week 10 to earn its first league championship since 2000. A win over the Rams would all but clinch a playoff berth for Troy.

There’s time for all of that in the future, however. Friday night was about celebrating Nolan’s 200th win — and a win over a bitter rival.

“It feels good,” Nolan said. “It’s always good to get this week over with and come out with a victory.”

For some Troy players, it feels almost too good.

Predators top Jackets in opener COLUMBUS (AP) — The flu couldn’t beat Pekka Rinne. How could the Columbus Blue Jackets?

Ryan Suter had a goal and an assist and Craig Smith scored his first NHL goal to lead the Nashville Predators past the Blue Jackets, 3-2 on Friday night in the opener for both teams.

Matt Halischuk also scored for the Predators.

Rinne had 32 saves, many of

highlight-reel quality while the Blue Jackets were frantically scrambling to catch up before a capacity crowd of 18,247.

Rinne, second in the Vezina Trophy voting last season, was almost sidelined by the flu.

“It was just a little stomach flu. It was more precaution, not skating yesterday,” he said. “I was just getting my rest and my energy back.

Nothing serious.”

He said he was 100 percent. He looked even better than that.

“He played well,” Nashville coach Barry Trotz said. “He probably wanted to get that first one back but he was good the rest of the night.”

In the second period, Rinne made three stops from close range to stymie Columbus newcomer Jeff

Carter.

Columbus unveiled its new top line, featuring perennial All-Star Rick Nash, along with summer acquisitions Carter, the former Philadelphia star picked up in a trade, and free-agent signing Vinny Prospal. Nash and Prospal each had a goal and an assist and Carter had two assists in his first game in a Blue Jackets sweater.

Tipp’s Nellessen captures sectional title

BY COLIN FOSTER Sports Writer cfoster@tdnpublishing.com Capturing a first Division II Sectional singles title was a big deal for Tippecanoe’s Sierra Nellessen.

But that wasn’t the only thing motivating her Friday.

Adding even more fuel to the fire was the comments made by her opponent Kenzie Detrick from Springfield Shawnee — a girl Nellessen has beaten on every occasion this season.

TROY “I was a little more fired up because I had found out she said something in the paper along the lines of ‘Oh, she’s (Nellessen) not as good as everyone says she is,’” Nellessen said. “So that got me fired up a little.”

And what Detrick came to find out, is that when you play with fire, you’re bound to get burned.

In an evenly matched first set, Nellessen hung on for a 6-4 win, and followed with a 6-0 thrashing

of Detick in the second set to come away with her first sectional title.

As back-and-forth as the first set was, Nellessen stayed mentally strong in the second set and was able to take control by using a rocket-serve and an aggressive attitude.

“When the line judge came out, I just kept thinking to myself don’t let it get to me because it usually does,” Nellesson said.

“But I was doing a good job of really moving the ball around, cutting to the net and being more offensive (in the second set). I was

doing a good job on keeping my first serve in.

“This feels great,” Nellesson said. “I’ve gotten here in years past, but I’ve always got second. So I’m pretty excited. This will definatly help me get a better seed at district.”

Another area player in Lehman’s Meghan Bennett placed fourth in the singles division.

Bennett lost to Detrick 6-2, 6-2 in the semis, then fell to Northeastern’s Lauren Davy 6-2, 6-2 in the consolation match.

• Double Trouble Lehman’s undefeated

doubles team of Kandis Sargeant and Nicole Larger won the doubles title in division II. But they had to go through two big hurdles in order to do so.

In the semifinals, they defeated Milton Union’s Brooke Falb and Jesica Ferguson 6-2, 6-2, propelling them to the finals where they had to face another Milton team in Jessica Finfrock and Andrea Fetters, who was a part of the doubles team that beat Sargeant and Larger in the sectional title match a year ago.

Neither team could hold serve for much of the first game, but Lehman’s twosome was able to squeak by with a 6-4 win.

In the second set, Larger and Sargeant got on a hot streak and broke the game open to take a 6-2 decision.

Milton’s Falb and Ferguson placed third in the doubles division, defeating Springfield Catholic Central’s Renae Pavlatos and Brenna McCombs in the consolation game.

All qualifiers will play at district in Mason on Thursday.

Morgan’s RBI single in 10th gives Brewers NLDS win

BY COLIN FOSTER Sports Writer cfoster@tdnpublishing.com

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Nyjer Morgan did it again for Milwaukee, delivering an RBI single in the 10th inning to beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 3-2 Friday in Game 5 and send the Brewers to the NL championship series.

Morgan hit a one-out grounder up the middle and Diamondbacks closer J.J. Putz tried in vain to stop it with his leg. Carlos Gomez scored from second, sailing across home plate as a wild throw went high, and Morgan was mobbed by jubilant teammates near the mound.

The latest dramatic finish for baseball’s best home team at raucous Miller Park gave Milwaukee its first victory in a postseason series since it won the AL pennant in 1982.

“We’ve heard all about 1982, so it’s nice to start our own legacy,” slugger Ryan Braun said.

Next, the Brewers move on to face Friday night’s winner of Game 5 between St. Louis and Philadelphia.

The NLCS begins Sunday, with either the Phillies or Brewers opening at home.

Arizona did all it could to extend its surprising season. Center fielder Chris Young made a jawdropping catch in the sixth and the Diamondbacks had one last comeback left in the ninth.

Willie Bloomquist drove in the tying run with a safety squeeze, but Arizona was unable to forge ahead against closer John Axford.

“This was a great baseball game today. I’m not happy to be on this end of it. Yet I’m proud of my team and they played true to the way they played all year,” Arizona manager Kirk Gibson said.

“And the Brewers, they cashed in on their opportunities, what can we say? We had tons of opportunities.”

Morgan was a critical addition for the Brewers this year and had several clutch hits, winning fans along the way with his oversized personality that includes a wildman alterego he calls “Tony Plush.”

But he wasn’t having a particularly productive series until his big moment in the deciding game.

“He’s been getting big hits all year,” Braun said.

“He enjoys the moment.”

With a 2-1 lead and their tough 1-2 bullpen combination of Francisco Rodriguez and Axford lined up for the eighth and ninth, the Brewers appeared to have their ticket punched to the NLCS. But the Diamondbacks had the most comeback vic-

They nearly got the best of Rodriguez in the eighth.

He loaded the bases with two outs for Ryan Roberts, one of two Diamondbacks players to hit a grand slam in the series. But Rodriguez got Roberts to ground into a forceout at second base, ending the threat.

Axford pitched the ninth, allowing a leadoff double to Gerardo Parra.

The reliever nearly hit pinch-hitter Sean Burroughs with a pitch, then Burroughs blooped a single to put runners on first and third.

Bloomquist pushed a bunt to the right side and first baseman Prince Fielder nearly collided with Axford while fielding the ball. Fielder stumbled and was unable to get off a throw to the plate as the tying run scored.

Justin Upton grounded into a forceout at second and pinch-hitter Henry Blanco hit a grounder to shortstop.

Yuniesky Betancourt fielded the ball and barely beat Upton to second base to end the inning although Betancourt paid for it, getting spiked in the left leg.

Axford ended the regular season with 43 straight saves, and saved Game 1 of the series. He had not blown a save chance since April 18 at Philadelphia.

Axford got the win despite a rough outing.

Putz took the loss.

“We’ve had great comebacks all year.

Unfortunately tonight, we weren’t able to finish it off,” Gibson said.

After finally edging Arizona, the Brewers sprayed bubbly in the clubhouse and waited to find out who their next opponent would be. If the Cardinals win Game 5, the first game of the NL championship series would be Sunday at Miller Park. If the Phillies win, Game 1 would be at Philadelphia.

Arizona rallied from a two-game deficit in the series to force a Game 5, yet another comeback for a team that had the most come-from-behind victories in baseball during the season.

Justin Upton’s solo homer gave the Diamondbacks the lead in the third inning.

The Brewers tied the game in the fourth, on a sacrifice fly by Jerry Hairston Jr. that brought home Morgan but Diamondbacks ace Ian Kennedy limited the damage to one run after loading the bases with one out.

Braun led off the sixth with a double off Kennedy, and Fielder walked on four pitches. But Rickie Weeks popped up an attempted sacrifice bunt, back to Kennedy for the out. Young then made a potential game-saving, over-theshoulder catch of a warning track-length line drive from Hairston, prompting him to put both hands on

his helmet in disbelief after what he was sure was going to be an extra-base hit.

Betancourt singled to center on the next play, scoring Braun to give Milwaukee a 2-1 lead.

Brewers starter Yovani Gallardo gave up one run despite laboring through six innings without his best stuff. The right-hander threw 112 pitches, allowing six hits while walking two and striking out five.

Gallardo was outstanding in his last three starts of the regular season and just as good in the Brewers’ Game 1 victory. But his command looked a little off from the start Friday.

In the first inning, he allowed a two-out walk to Upton, who advanced to second on a wild pitch.

Gallardo then ran the count to 3-2 on Miguel Montero before striking him out and getting out of the inning.

Gallardo got in some trouble again in the second, allowing a pair of baserunners, but he was bailed out on a nice defensive play by Braun despite difficult sun glare.

Gallardo then cruised through the first two outs of the third, then went 3-2 on Upton after he took a borderline pitch. Upton then smacked a solo home run to right, pointing to the sky as he took off running.

Trailing 1-0, the Brewers finally put together an offensive threat in the fourth.

Troy’s Hailey Winblad and Ivy Smith knew what they were up against at Friday’s Division I Sectional doubles championship.

During the year, both Winblad and Smith prevailed in tough singles matches against their finals opponents from Butler, Vanessa Burke and Cheyenne Rogers.

“They were tough matches for both of us,” Winblad said. “Mine was tougher than Ivy’s, but hers was quicker. My game went into three sets. I won the first one 62 easily, she won the second 6-3 and I went on to win the third set.”

But it was a whole different ball game this time around.

After beating Wayne’s Edith Chu and Lacey Ross in the semis, Smith and Winblad fell to Burke and Rogers in straight sets.

But in the end, the

TROY youngsters from Troy knew they just were beaten by a solid team, yet remained poised and confident heading into district.

“I think Cheyenne is at doubles stronger because she used to play doubles,” Winblad said.

“She’s really tall and can get to a lot of balls.”

“When you put them together, they are just a really good team,” Smith added.

“We just didn’t come out aggressive in the first set and that was the difference,” Winblad said.

And in at this stage, the little things make all the difference.

Troy’s Amber Smith earned a spot in the district tournament. Smith lost in the semis to Manisha Springfield’s Nezhad and went on to place fourth overall in the singles division.

The Division I District tournament will be played at Centerville high school on Thursday.

Tigers Verlander ready for game 1 ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — No more watching for Justin Verlander. The Detroit Tigers ace is back on his normal routine to start the AL championship series opener.

Verlander will pitch against defending American League champion Texas on regular rest tonight. It’ll be the fifth day after his Game 3 start in the AL division series that was a restart of sorts since rain halted the series opener of aces after only 1 innings.

Tigers manager Jim Leyland was steadfast in sticking with the decision not to use his 24-game winner in the clinching game of the ALDS against the New York Yankees on Thursday night, even though Verlander volunteered to pitch in relief and the manager joked with the big right-hander about doing so during the 3-2 victory.

“It was definitely a little odd situation we ran into. But that’s behind us,” Verlander said Friday.

“It was definitely tough (watching). Any time that you know you’re not going to have anything to do with the outcome of the game, it’s difficult. It’s just like being a fan, except there’s a little bit

more in it for me personally being on the team.”

The Tigers now look to Verlander for an early boost in the ALCS, where Texas has home-field advantage for finishing one game better during the regular season after both teams played well down the stretch.

“Obviously that was important for him starting Game 1 for us,” catcher Alex Avila said. “You can’t ask for anything more.”

The Rangers, in their second consecutive ALCS after having never won a postseason series before last year, counter with C.J. Wilson.

The left-hander won 16 games in the regular season, but he allowed eight runs (six earned) in five innings in losing the playoff opener against Tampa Bay on Sept. 30, the same day the initial matchup between Verlander and CC Sabathia got wet.

“That particular game was my first bad game I had in a while. I had of lot of really good games leading up to the playoffs,” Wilson said. “It was unfortunate. I had extra rest. … I feel like it gives me a chance to get back in my routine and execute.”

NBA won’t talk without 50-50 deal NEW YORK (AP) — The NBA players’ association wanted a meeting and said the league would grant one under one condition.

Just agree first to a 5050 split of revenues.

Players already rejected

that offer once. The league confirmed it wasn’t moving beyond that number but wanted to meet about other issues, and it said the union wasn’t interested.

All that matters: An ontime start to the NBA sea-

son now seems even less likely.

Commissioner David Stern has said the league will cancel the first two weeks of the regular season if the sides can’t reach a labor agreement by Monday, and it now

appears the sides won’t even talk before then.

According to a person close to the union, players were seeking a session before the deadline, but were told it came with a precondition of agreeing to the 50-50 revenue split.
