Romney visits Sidney Estimated 8,500 turn out to see GOP candidate

Two dead in garage collapse A section of a parking garage under construction at a community college collapsed Wednesday, killing two people and trapping two others in the rubble, officials said. One worker was rescued amid the debris, but there was too much concrete around the other to immediately get him out. At least 10 other workers were hurt when the roof of the five-story concrete garage fell.

The play’s the thing Arts program helps boost district test scores

Alex Karras was a man of many roles. Fearsome NFL defensive lineman. Lovable TV dad. Hilarious big-screen cowboy. And in the end, a dementia victim who blamed the NFL for his illness along with thousands of former players in lawsuits accusing the league of not doing enough to protect them from the long-term effects of head injuries. The 77-year-old Karras, who managed to be tough, touching and tragic in the span of a lifetime, died Wednesday at his Los Angeles home. See Page 6.

Studying for tests is driving these students up the wall — both literally and figuratively. For more than seven years, Miami East Junior High sixth grade teachers have used the Muse Machine Elementary Program and the program’s director, Michael Lippert, to help students retain pertinent study criteria in math or language arts to use in the spring’s Ohio Achievement Assessments, which are part of the district’s overall state report card rating. According to sixth grade teacher Stephanie Mitrisin, as part of the Ohio Achievement Assessments next spring, students are required to know many parts of figurative language, such as idioms, hyperbole, alliteration, personification and onomatopoeia. “We look to see what they are deficient in the fifth grade and work from there,” Mitrisin said. “Then we work with the kids to build a show around that part of the test they need to work on.” Each homeroom’s family “buzzed like bees” to chime in their answers for points as the Miami East Junior High School sixth grade students battled in

TROY to a certain day. They can pick one of the three days a week for a total of seven classes,” said Troy Skating Club Director Glenn Replogle. The youngest age groups, Snowplow Sam (3- to 6-year-olds) and Basic Skills 1 (7-year-olds), must wear helmets, such as one for riding a bike. Basic Skills groups consist of levels one through eight, providing fundemental moves

including forward skating, backward skating, stops, edges, crossovers, three turns and the mohawk turn. “A lot of our kids repeat the classes and move up in levels. They have tests and earn badges,” Replogle said. Registration for the upcoming lesson series is available through the night of the class. Replogle said Hobart Arena isn’t too cold, and therefore wearing sweats and gloves will suffice. While skating lessons are

offered throughout the year, open skate runs only in the winter months, starting from 8-10 p.m. Friday, Nov. 9, followed by 2-4 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 11. Director of Recreation Ken Siler said the ice skating rink will see a spike in usage after Thanksgiving. “Normally our busiest time is during the holidays,” Siler said, estimating that about 175-200 people a day use the facility.

• Business Highlights TOKYO (AP) — The craggy island specks in the East China Sea aren’t even an economic backwater. They have no factories, no highways, no shops, no people only goats. But the highpitched row between Beijing and Tokyo over their ownership is exacting a growing toll on Japan, threatening to send its recovery from last year’s disasters into reverse. Sales of Japanese cars in China are in free-fall. At the China Open last weekend, a representative of Sony Corp. (NYSE:SNE) , which is a sponsor of the tennis tournament, was loudly booed at the title presentation for the women’s final. Chinese tourists are cancelling trips to Japan in droves. And some analysts say Japan’s economy will shrink in the last three months of the year.

Condemned man asks parole board for mercy COLUMBUS — (AP) A condemned Ohio inmate asked the state Parole Board for mercy a third time Wednesday ahead of his scheduled execution next month for stabbing an Akron woman more than 100 times, then cutting off her hands. Brett Hartman came within about a week of execution in 2009 before federal courts allowed him to pursue an innocence claim. When that claim failed, Hartman had a new date set last year, but that was postponed because of a federal lawsuit over Ohio’s execution policy. The parole board has twice unanimously denied Hartman’s requests for clemency, citing the brutality of the Sept. 9, 1997, slaying of 46-year-old Winda Snipes and the “overwhelming evidence” of Hartman’s guilt. Snipes was beaten, strangled with a cord, stabbed 138 times, had her throat slit and her hands cut off, according to records submit-

ted to the parole board by Summit County prosecutors. Hartman admitted having sex with Snipes sometime after midnight that day, going back to her apartment the following evening, finding her body and then wiping down anything he had touched, records show. He also called 911 about the body. The county medical examiner testified that Snipes was killed late in the afternoon or early in the evening the same day, according to records. Hartman’s attorneys base their arguments for mercy on three points. First, they say crucial evidence from the crime scene and Snipes’ body has never been tested, raising questions about Hartman’s innocence. The evidence included fingerprints allegedly found on a clock and a mop handle. Hartman also argues the evidence could implicate an alternate suspect.

A Casstown and Fletcher firefighter “rescues” Miami East Elementary school firstgrader Grayce Goodin during their Fire Prevention Week demonstration Wednesday at the Miami East school complex as Christiansburg Fire Chief Bob Hoey, far right, narrates. The annual educational event presented by the three departments to all first grade classes to make them aware of common hazards in their homes, how to react if they have a fire and what to do when the fire department arrives. This demonstration shows the students how a firefighter would appear to them as they made a rescue.

Romney • CONTINUED FROM 1 Romney told the crowd he’d been watching President Barack Obama’s rallies hearing the chants of “four more years,” but he said, “I’ve been looking at my calendar, and I think ‘four more weeks’ is more appropriate.” Romney, who will face the incumbent Obama at the polls in just under four weeks, appealed to his largely rural and workingclass audience with his focus on jobs, health care and the estate tax. “The median income in this country has dropped by $4,300 per family,” Romney said of the past four years. “And with median income around 50 thousand bucks, that’s a huge drop.” Romney said health care premiums are up $2,500, while Obama promised they would drop by that amount. He pointed out the increase in gasoline prices: “double since he’s been president, or more.” “These are tough times. The president’s answer to this is to say

he’s going to save Big Bird,” Romney said to a laugh from the crowd. “My view is it’s better to have a president that’s going to save the American family and help people across this country.” The laughter turned to rousing cheers. The candidate said the country “can’t afford another four years like the last four years have been,” adding that re-electing Obama would mean continued prices and falling incomes. Romney brought up last week’s debate and said he and the president have interests in common but they differ in how they would resolve problems. “We both care very deeply about helping the middle class of America and helping get people out of poverty and into the middle class,” Romney said. “Our process for doing that couldn’t be more different.” Romney said the president wanted to raise taxes. “I want to lower taxes on small business,” Romney said. The candidate said he wanted to eliminate the estate tax, which

he said was an impediment in passing farms down within a family. Romney also expressed his support for energy independence, including taking advantage of all of the nation’s resources and technology from oil to natural gas to nuclear to wind energy. He said he wanted to double the number of licenses for drilling on federal land and open up drilling in Alaska. Romney pointed out the cuts Obama has made to military funding. “I will not cut the military,” Romney said. “Our military must be second to none.” Romney also supported opening up trade to support American manufacturing, particularly in Latin America, and reducing federal spending to balance the federal budget. Small businesses, Romney said, too often see the federal government as “the enemy,” stating that he wants a government that “champions small business,” and passes regulations that support rather than suppress a free mar-

ket system. He said he also wants to get “Obamacare out of the way of creating jobs.” Romney said the president has failed in his leadership and has failed to bring Congress together. He shared anecdotes of the people he has met along the campaign trail and how they have inspired him, including a war widow who held no hard feelings against the protesters at her husband’s funeral. After leaving the stage, Romney walked along the edge of the crowd, shaking hands and posing for pictures with his eager supporters. Even as he approached his motorcoach, he turned and ran back to shake more hands before proceeding on his way. Sheriff John Lenhart said of the event that everything came together smoothly. “I can’t think of anything that fell through the cracks,” Lenhart said. He complimented Sidney’s police force and said there were no problems from anyone in the crowd.

Try this delicious tater tot casserole

Fall in, apple corps! DANIEL NEMAN Toledo Blade It was a bad year for a lot of crops. The drought knocked out much of the corn and clobbered the berries. Local apples fared better against the lack of water, but they were already stunned by the first swing in nature's one-two punch: An unusually warm winter led to early blooms, which then got badly bloodied by late-season winter nastiness. "We had 10 frosts and two hailstorms. It was a mess," said Marlene MacQueen, co-owner of MacQueen Orchards in Holland, Ohio. The untimely sequence of weather â&#x20AC;&#x201D; first good, then bad â&#x20AC;&#x201D; had a terrible effect on local farms, which are seeing only about 40 percent of their usual crop, she said. Her husband, Bob MacQueen, the orchards' coowner and president, said, "We had the Fujis real light. The Jonagolds are about 20 percent of the (usual) crop. The Granny Smiths are probably 40 percent of the (usual) crop. But the Jonathans and Red and Golden Delicious came through pretty good." In other words, things are rough but they could be much worse. Michigan, he said, only grew about 2.9 million bushels of apples this year, compared to a crop of 26 million bushels last

Apple pie is an American classic. year. And the cherry crop was almost completely lost, he said. Erie Orchards in Erie, Mich., was lucky, said owner Steve Elzinger. Because it is located just 2-1/2 miles from the warming air over Lake Erie, it missed the killing frosts. "We have a full crop, we have a 100 percent crop, which is amazing. We even have more than anticipated," he said. And while most years one or two varieties out of the dozen or so they grow do not come in well, "this year, every single variety is there." Meanwhile, Washington state has had such a banner year for apples that they are having trouble finding enough people to pick them, Elzinger said. But with local apples on the opposite side of the supply-demand spectrum, the prices here are going to be higher, he said. The good news, though, is that although the number of apples is smaller, the apples themselves are larger than usual. That's how nature works: With fewer apples on the tree, the trees can devote all of their energy to growing the apples they have. And the drought helped concentrate the sugar levels, making them sweeter than usual, too. Well-established apple trees have roots that go so deep they were not affected by the drought, Bob MacQueen said, but the younger trees required plenty of irrigation to keep them alive. The bottom line is that local apples are going to be fewer this year, and along with being better-tasting they are also going to be more expensive. In other words, when you get them,

make the most of them. In other words, it's time to do some baking. The all-American thing to do with apples, of course, is to put them into an AllAmerican Apple Pie. And making it is as easy as, well, you know. We decided to try a recipe provided by Americraft Cookware, a company that makes pie pans, figuring that these folks would know a good pie when they see one. Their recipe recommends an equal mix of Granny Smith and Gala apples, so you get a blend of the tart and the sweet. These are sliced and tossed with white sugar, light brown sugar and a little cinnamon, and sauteed until just tender in butter and a splash of lemon juice for added zest. That's easy enough, and if you want you can just bake it in a pre-made pie crust. But where is the fun in that? So I also made the crust from a recipe provided by Americraft Cookware, figuring that they would especially know a good pie crust when they see one. Besides, it included a trick I have long wanted to try. Bakers know that to make flaky crusts you need to use ice water. The colder the water, the flakier the crust. But water, by definition, cannot drop below 32 degrees, unless you add a lot of salt. Vodka, however, freezes at about 27 degrees below zero, and most residential freezers are set around 0 degrees. This means that vodka kept in a freezer is much colder than ice water. It is more or less flavorless, and the alcohol will essentially bake out in the oven, so using some vodka to make the dough will create an even flakier crust. Does it work? I think so, yes. At least a bit. And the taste wasn't affected at all. But if you don't drink alcohol or you don't want to waste vodka, plain ice water is fine. Elzinger, incidentally, would not think of making an apple pie without using at least some Northern Spy

apples, which his mother always used in her pies. They are tart, he said, but only moderately so. He also favors such tart apples as Jonathans, Winesap and Red Ida varieties in baking. In making pies or apple sauce, he likes to mix them with sweet apples. Or, because Jonagolds are a combination of tart Jonathans and sweet Golden Delicious apples, he often just uses them by themselves. One of my favorite go-to desserts is an Apple Poundcake. It is basically an ordinary poundcake made with oil instead of butter for extra moisture and a little orange juice for extra flavor. You put the familiar mixture of apples, cinnamon and sugar into the middle, and then bake it all together. For such an easy recipe, it tastes much better than it has any right to. Bernard Clayton Jr.'s recipe for Chopped Apple Bread yields two loaves that are so remarkably enticing, so richly perfumed with the scent of apple and cinnamon, so reminiscent of monkey bread, that you are liable to forget it is bread and think of it instead as dessert. It isn't â&#x20AC;&#x201D; it boasts just a half-cup of brown sugar for two good-sized loaves. Instead, it is a soft and flavorful bread with bits of apple, cinnamon and walnuts scattered throughout like presents under a tree. Try toasting a slice for a special treat. Best of all, it is a blast to make. The dough rises so fast you can almost see it (two packages of yeast in six or seven cups of flour will do that), you get to enjoy the aroma of the cinnamon while you make it, and you get to play with the dough in a way I have never seen before: You roll it into a large square, sprinkle it with the toppings, and wrap it up like a package by folding the corners into the center. Then you hack it into small pieces with a knife or dough scraper, and throw the pieces into loaf pans to rise and bake.

Last night Benjamin and Joseph picked over a 5 gallon bucket of tomatoes. I now have enough to make a batch of homemade pizza sauce today. The tomato plants are still loaded with green tomatoes. Hot and green peppers are still doing great. I am surprised we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get a killing frost yet, but imagine it is not too far off. I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe how many leaves have fallen from the trees this past week. Such beautiful colors of leaves. Autumn is a pretty season when the leaves start changing to yellow, red and orange. These are scenes only our Master Artist could create. The sunsets are also a beauty to see in the evening. The cold air makes us think of winter. The boys went out one chilly morning and said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mom, we smell snow.â&#x20AC;? Then the talk turned to sledding, homemade ice cream, snowmen and all the excitement during the winter months. I remember when the children were younger, winter seemed to go on forever. Now that they are older they seem to fly by too fast. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nice to have the winter months to get caught up with sewing. It also seems things seem to move at a slower pace than the summer months. I have a new pants cut out for Kevin and hope to get it sewed before Saturday. Our plans are, Lord willing, to attend the wedding of Menno and Maggie in Columbia City, Ind. Kevin is getting tall so fast that he is in need of new pants. It will be a full weekend with going to the wedding on Saturday and then church services on Sunday. Last Sunday we spent the day at Emma and Jacobâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. Jacobâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parents spent Saturday evening and overnight at Jacobâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s house. The rest of Jacobâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family came from Berne, Ind. on Sunday morning. Jacobâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parents are an uncle and aunt to my husband Joe, so we joined them for the noon meal. They had a delicious meal consisting of barbecued chicken, hot wings, mashed potatoes and gravy, dressing, mixed vegetables and corn, overnight salad, sliced tomatoes, green and hot peppers, carrots and celery sticks and ranch dip, cheese, bread, butter and jam. Dessert was pecan and pumpkin pie, muskmelon, watermelon and grapes, finger Jell-O and punch and coffee. Jacob and Emma presented Jacobâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dad with a Dairy Queen ice cream cake for his 60th birthday Sunday. The afternoon was spent playing games. Benjamin, Joseph, Lovina and Kevin biked the 4 miles to Jacobâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. The boys biked back in the evening. Lovina couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t as the pedal on her bike

THE AMISH COOK

Lovina Eicher Troy Daily News Guest Columnist broke off. I was surprised that Lovina and Kevin did that well to go that far. This was the first time that they biked to Jacobâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and they were so glad to be able to go. Verena and Loretta took the single buggy and our horse, Diamond. We strapped Lorettaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wheelchair to the back of the buggy. Joe and I took our double-buggy and Ginger. It was good to have the big buggy because we had to bring Lovinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bike home. Our buggy used to be packed with all eight children and a lot of times we picked up my sisters Verena and Susan. Now as they all get older some can drive in the other buggy, bike or take the pony and wagon. Our buggy is hardly ever full anymore. And of course daughters Elizabeth and Susan prefer to drive with their special friends than with their parents. We waited to do laundry until Tuesday as we had my friend Amyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two little ones on Monday. Matthew wanted to go see the pony again so Susan took him to the barn to see the animals. Emily stands by the screen door and watches the horses in the field. Our border collie dog, Buddy, seems to have bonded with her as well. He comes up to the door and stares at her through the glass. He gets all excited when he does that. Matthew soon learned to hold his cookie high above his head when Buddy is around. Buddy loves to snatch cookies out of son Kevinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hand when he plays outside. I think he must like homemade cookies. This is a delicious, easy casserole that we enjoyed this week!

EDITORIAL ROUNDUP The Globe and Mail, Toronto on terrorist Omar Khadr: Omar Khadr was raised to be a terrorist, and became one. But Canada has no cause to loathe him, or punish him anymore. This country should do what should have been done many years ago with him — focus on how to achieve his rehabilitation, safely. Khadr was 11 when his Toronto family took him to live in the Afghan terror camps of Osama bin Laden. At 15, he was apprehended by the United States on the battlefield. He is now 26, and has never known what it is to live an ordinary, constructive life in freedom. He deserves that chance now, within a parole framework that provides for support and sensible rules — such as not living with his family. Canada shouldn’t throw away its young people, even those who have gone terribly awry. It shouldn’t seek retribution because it abhors their families (his late father and several brothers were al-Qaeda members, and his mother and sister have spoken approvingly of terrorism).

Cameron’s call for greater intervention ■ Please in Syria: include your full Prime Minister David Cameron didn’t just name and telefeature on the David Letterman show during phone number. his visit to New York. More important was his speech to the UN General Assembly, an impressive performance. Much of his address amounted to an impassioned call for greater intervention in Syria. While not condemning China and Russia by name for blocking efforts to impose sanctions on the Assad regime, he declared that those who aided and abetted Bashar al-Assad had assisted a “reign of terror” that had resulted in the deaths of up to 20,000 civilians, many of them children. Cameron has put his finger on a genuine problem at the very heart of the world order: how is the international community, an inherently disparate body, to take a stand against a regime that stops at nothing to stay in power, if the UN General Assembly has no clout and the Security Council is stymied by China and Russia? That is the chief problem in mustering an organized UN response to the crisis in Syria: two of the biggest powers on the Security Council are, effectively, on the regime’s side. Cameron is right to condemn the regime’s tactics but it is by no means clear that the rebels, who include jihadist elements, would be a moderate and unifying alternative. We should be thinking harder about containing the war and especially its toxic effects on neighboring Lebanon. Cameron has made a good showing on the world stage. He has not made the mistake of claiming an ethical foreign policy — but that’s effectively what it is.

Vote Romney/Ryan to save America To the Editor: Questions that don't get asked enough ... I wonder how our assassinated Libyan Ambassador's family feels about re-electing a President that said his death, and that of the Navy Seals that tried to come to his rescue, were just "bumps in the road?” I wonder how the Border Patrol Agent's family that was killed last week on the border of the United States and Mexico feels about re-electing Obama? I wonder if he was killed like border agent, Brian Terry, and other Mexican fami-

lies, with guns from Obama's Fast and Furious Gun Run? I wonder how the families of the 1,500 troops that were killed in Afghanistan under Obama's watch feel about re-electing a President that apologizes to our enemies? I wonder how all those coal miners and their families feel about a President that says he will bankrupt anyone that tries to build a coal powered electric plant under his administration? I wonder how all of us will feel about this President, if we are so foolish to re-elect him, when he tells us in a terrible economy that our energy bills will "necessarily skyrocket"? I wonder what all the

Christians and Jews in our country thought when Obama told the world last week at the United Nations meeting that "no one should slander the prophet Mohammad?” Does our President support the First Amendment anymore? I wonder how all the successful people who actually "built" something felt when they heard their President, Mr. Obama, insult them and say, "You didn't build that ... someone else did"? If this guy wins again ... God help us all! Get out and vote Nov. 6. ROMNEY/RYAN 2012!!

DOONESBURY

When the end of the world comes, I’m prepared In just 71 days, the world as we know it is going to come to an end … or so the ancient Mayan civilization would have us believe. And really, have you ever met a lyin’ Mayan? In any event, according to some calendar they devised thousands of years ago, the world as we know it is supposed to end on Dec. 21 (it would have to be a Friday, just to ensure we all get in a full week’s worth of work — couldn’t happen on a Monday, could it?) Anyway, nobody knows exactly how the world is going to end (My guess? Wombats) or what the aftermath will be (I personally will welcome our new wombat overlords), but apparently there are plenty of people preparing for it. There are entire television series devoted solely to people who are preparing for doomsday. These people spend all their waking moments — and a whole lot of their waking dollars — ensuring they will be prepared when the end comes. If I’ve been watching

David Fong Troy Daily News Executive Editor enough of the television shows — and let’s face it, I have (I had to watch something this summer when all “Glee” was showing was re-runs), there are several things you are going to need to survive when the apocalypse comes. The first thing you are going to need when the rapture hits is shelter. Chances are, your domicile is going to be destroyed. You are going to need something to shield you from the elements. When the end comes and my house is destroyed, I’ll probably just go and live with my mom for awhile. I’m always welcome at my mom’s house — mostly because it’s that much less time she has

— Rachel Schaffner Piqua

to spend talking to my dad. I lived there until I was 28 and married; I figure I could live there after the end of the world. Of course, finding shelter is only the first part of surviving in a post-apocalyptic world. You’re also going to need something to eat. Food will be scarce. Many people on the doomsday television shows already have started stockpiling canned foods and military “Meals Ready to Eat.” I’m a pretty picky eater and don’t see myself eating any of that. For food, I’ll probably just head on over to my mom’s house. She’ll probably be making a meat loaf or something. I already eat most of my meals at her house anyway — what’s a few more after armageddon hits? Most of the television shows state you are going to need some sort of protection to keep you safe from the roving hoards of scavengers that will be pillaging the land in an effort to survive. Many of the people on these shows have started stockpiling guns

and ammunition. Now I’ve never actually shot a gun in my life — and there’s a very good chance that if I did, I’d end up blowing off an appendage. So I’ll probably just head on over to my mom’s. She’s pretty mean. One time she made a kid in one of her classes eat Crayons. So I figure she’ll protect me when the end comes. In addition to food, you are going to need water to drink. Well, my mom pretty much only drinks Pepsi, but there’s water in Pepsi, right? So yeah, I’ll probably head on over to my mom’s house if I need water. So, in short, the end of the world is upon us (dirty wombats). If you have not already started preparing, you had better start now. Because there’s only one of my mom to go around — and I’m not planning on sharing her.

Karras, ex-NFL lineman, actor, dies at age 77 DETROIT (AP) — Alex Karras was a man of many roles. Fearsome NFL defensive lineman. Lovable TV dad. Hilarious big-screen cowboy. And in the end, a dementia victim who blamed the NFL for his illness along with thousands of former players in lawsuits accusing the league of not doing enough to protect them from the long-term effects of head injuries. The 77-yearold Karras, who managed to be tough, touching KARRAS and tragic in the span of a lifetime, died Wednesday at his Los Angeles home surrounded by family members, said Craig Mitnick, Karras’ attorney. Karras was one of the NFL’s most ferocious and best defensive tackles for the Detroit Lions from 1958-70, bulling past offensive lineman and hounding quarterbacks. The charismatic bruiser went into acting after his football career, and in his signature scene dropped a horse with a punch as the soft-hearted outlaw Mongo in the 1974 comedy “Blazing Saddles.” He also portrayed the father in the 1980s sitcom “Webster,” along with his actress-wife Susan Clark, and was in the “Monday Night Football” broadcast booth along the way. “Perhaps no player in Lions history attained as much success and notoriety for what he did after his playing days as did Alex,” Lions president Tom

Lewand said. Born in Gary, Ind., Karras starred for four years at Iowa and was later inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame. Detroit drafted him with the 10th overall pick in 1958, and he was a threetime All-Pro defensive tackle over 12 seasons with the franchise. He was the heart of the Lions’ defensive front that terrorized quarterbacks. The Lions handed the champion Green Bay Packers their only defeat in 1962, a 26-14 upset on Thanksgiving during which they harassed quarterback Bart Starr constantly. Karras was All-Pro in 1960, 1961 and 1965, and he made the Pro Bowl four times. He was recognized by the Pro Football Hall of Fame as a defensive tackle on the All-Decade Team of the 1960s and retired from the NFL in 1970 at age 35. But Karras also had runins with the NFL long before his lawsuit. He missed the 1963 season when he was suspended by NFL Commissioner Pete Rozelle in a gambling probe. Karras insisted he only wagered cigarettes or cigars with close friends. For all his prowess as a player, Karras may have gained more fame as an actor. He had already become known through George Plimpton’s behind-thescenes book “Paper Lion: Confessions of a Last-String Quarterback,” about what it was like to be an NFL player in Detroit.

Karras and Plimpton remained friends for life, and one of Karras’ sons is named after the author. Karras played himself alongside Alan Alda in the successful movie adaptation of the book, and that opened doors for Karras to be an analyst with Howard Cosell and Frank Gifford on “Monday Night Football.” In Mel Brooks’ “Blazing Saddles,” Karras played a not-so-bright, rougharound-the-edges outlaw who not only slugged a horse but also delivered the classic line: “Mongo only pawn in game of life.” In the 1980s, he played a sheriff in the comedy “Porky’s” and became a hit on TV as Emmanuel Lewis’ adoptive father, George Papadapolis, in the sitcom “Webster.” Karras also had roles in “Against All Odds” and “Victor/Victoria.” He portrayed the husband of famed female athlete “Babe” Didrikson Zaharias in the TV movie that starred Clark in the title role. Clark has said that Karras started to show signs of dementia more than a dozen years ago, and she said his quality of life had deteriorated because of head injuries sustained during his playing career. He could no longer drive and couldn’t remember recipes for some of the favorite Italian and Greek dishes he used to cook, she said. In April, he became the lead plaintiff in a suit filed in U.S. District Court in Philadelphia. He is among about 3,500 retired football players who accuse the league of not protecting them better from head injuries.

DEATHS OF NATIONAL INTEREST • Paddy Roy Bates LONDON (AP) — Paddy Roy Bates, who occupied an abandoned fort in the North Sea and declared it the sovereign Principality of Sealand with himself as its prince has died at age 91. Bates’ son Michael says his father died Tuesday at a care home in Leigh-onSea in eastern England. He had been suffering from Alzheimer’s. In the 1960s, Bates moved with his family to a disused World War II fort about seven miles (13 kilometers) off England’s east coast. He proclaimed it the Principality of Sealand, with himself as Prince Roy. Bates gave Sealand its own flag, passport, stamps, coins and national anthem.

Bates is survived by his wife Joan, son Michael and daughter Penny. • R.E. “Ed” Brandenburg RAPID CITY, S.D. — A South Dakota state judge who shut down Deadwood’s last brothels in 1980 has died.

Don’t get into a car with him until he gets counseling

Today: 5 p.m.: Community Bulletin Board 7 p.m.: Midwest Crappie 9 p.m.: Mayor's Report

Dear Annie: My husband is a wonderful man in almost every respect. But when we are in the car together, he uses road rage to manipulate me into agreeing to things I don't want. He'll drive threateningly if I don't say it's OK for him to take that fishing trip or go to a movie. When he is the driver, he controls everyone because we are dependent on him. I have pointed this out to him, but it always ends in a terrible fight. Worse, he punishes me by saying, "I will never take that trip again," or "I won't go to that movie with you." He accuses me of provoking him. My husband's nephew was the target of the same abuse when we traveled together recently. The boy was behaving like an angel, when suddenly my husband became enraged and demanded all sorts of concessions from his nephew. For the longest time, I didn't realize what was going on. I thought he just couldn't handle driving. What I didn't understand is that he uses road rage as a form of bullying and abuse. I don't know how I was so blind for so many years. It is the perfect tool to get away with whatever he wants. It also is a form of torture, because he makes us feel responsible should he have an accident. I don't know whether we will ever go on another trip together or even to a movie, but I am willing to go by myself or with a friend -- and my husband knows it. I have no idea where our marriage is headed after 24 years, but I am preparing myself to do whatever it takes. I don't believe he would go for counseling, but I refuse to let him drive me anywhere ever again. — Virginia Wife Dear Virginia: You are wise not to get into a car with this maniac. Since your husband is "wonderful" when he isn't driving, however, please reconsider counseling. You don't know how he will respond until you ask and make it clear how unhappy you are about such manipulative, controlling behavior. (But go in separate cars.) Dear Annie: Members of my family love to extend invitations to birthday parties at a restaurant of their choice, and they expect you to bring a gift and pay for your own meal. It is my understanding that the host handles the food bill in expectation that the guests will bring gifts and have a great time. This is the way I have known it to be done. Now that I live in the South, social etiquette among my family members has become strained and has caused me to decline invitations. — Confused in N.C. Dear Confused: The hosts should pay for the food. Unfortunately, many folks don't realize this or don't care. In your case, however, you already know that your relatives expect you to foot your own bill, so consider these invitations "pot luck" and accept or decline according to your preference. Dear Annie: I'm sorry it has taken me this long to reply to "Clueless on Cancer Etiquette." It is refreshing to hear from someone who cares enough not to ask the wrong questions. I'm an 87-year-old WW II veteran with stage 4 cancer. I'd suggest "Clueless" be friendly, caring and cheerful, and not ask about their illness. Let them open the conversation about cancer if they want to discuss it. We want our friends to behave the same as always so we can enjoy each other's company. When my wife was sick with cancer, her so-called "friends" stayed away as if she were contagious. Only one made any attempt to cheer her up by having breakfast with her every day. That was the only food my wife would eat, as she was otherwise too depressed. Thank you, "Clueless," for your thoughtfulness. — Mike Annie's Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

SUDOKU PUZZLE

HOW TO PLAY: Complete the grid so that every row, column and 3x3 box contains every digit from 1 to 9 inclusively. Find answers to today’s puzzle in tomorrow’s Troy Daily News. WEDNESDAY’S SOLUTION:

HINTS FROM HELOISE

Check the number: Recycling is in the bag Dear Readers: Who doesn’t love chips? But did you know that most “snack” bags are recyclable once the treats are all gone? A major manufacturer states that the bags are a number “7,” which means the bags are recyclable! If you have curbside recycling, check with your city’s trash or recycle program (providers have specific items that they can and will accept) before putting anything out for pickup. Call your provider for a list of accepted and not accepted items, or ask the representative about a specific item. You may be surprised at the things that can be picked up

Hints from Heloise Columnist and recycled right outside your doorstep! — Heloise FOUND MONEY Dear Heloise: Here are a couple of hints regarding money: When I find money on the ground as I’m walking or in a parking lot, I put it in a special container. Twice a year, I count all the found money

and sometimes add to it, and then I make a donation to some deserving organization. Another hint: When I grocery-shop, I look at my bill and see how much I saved with coupons and store sales. If possible, I put that much money in a special envelope and let it add up. When I go on vacation, I take along this money and put it toward meals or souvenirs. — Maryann G., Scotia, N.Y. WRAP UP Dear Heloise: Quilts and comforters have a tendency to crease when stored, no matter how carefully you fold them. Try this hint: Lay the com-

forter or quilt flat. Place a “pool noodle” (Heloise here: A new one, not one that has been used in a chlorinated pool, etc.) against the top hem, and begin rolling it back toward you, wrapping the bedding around it. When you’ve reached the bottom hem, tie the bedding with a ribbon or string, and your quilt or comforter will be crease-free! This also is a great way to store large amounts of fabric for crafting or sewing! — Helen S. in Kentucky It’s also a good way to prevent creases for short-term storage. — Heloise

HOROSCOPE BY FRANCES DRAKE For Friday, Oct. 12, 2012 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Because you feel strong today, your confidence at work is likewise stronger. This invigorated energy will help you get a lot done. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) This is a playful day! (You would rather have fun than work.) However, it can be a productive day for those of you involved in creative projects or sports or who work with children. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You’ll enjoy relaxing at home today; however, if you entertain at home, you’ll enjoy this, too. It’s a laid-back, easygoing day for you. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) The mind is a powerful thing. When you’re full of positive thoughts, you’re happier. That’s what’s happening today: You’re full of happy, positive thoughts. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) You’re feeling more optimistic about your financial scene, because this is where you have put some thought and energy. You like to shop, but you don’t like to be in debt. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) This is a feel-good day for Virgos. You feel energetic, positive and up for anything. Your enthusiasm could cause you to go overboard in some way. Be careful. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Because you have a sense of genuine concern for others, especially those who are less fortunate, you will put the needs of others before your own today. (Call it a Mother Teresa thang.) SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Meetings, classes and casual get-togethers will be upbeat and enjoyable today. Be careful about agreeing to take on more than you might really want to do. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Because you feel confident and strong today, you’re ready to impress bosses and authority figures. Nevertheless, don’t bite off more than you can chew. Don’t give yourself unrealistic deadlines in order to impress someone. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Travel plans look exciting! You are thrilled to be able to expand your world by meeting people from other cultures or by seeing new places. Do something different today. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) If you are dividing or sharing something today, make sure you take care of your own best interests. Don’t give away the farm. Conversely, make sure others get their fair share! PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Relations with others are particularly warm today, because people feel effusive and expansive. Everyone wants everyone to have a good time! YOU BORN TODAY You have excellent money savvy and also are very generous. (You are never petty.) You don’t mind the limelight, because many of you are natural performers. You have comical wit and flamboyance. Because of your larger-than-life qualities, others often depend on you. In the year ahead, something you’ve been involved with for nine years will diminish or end in order to make room for something new. Birthdate of: Hugh Jackman, actor; Alice Childress, playwright/novelist; Martie Maguire, musician. (c) 2012 King Features Syndicate, Inc.

Two dead in parking garage collapse One other worker remains trapped in the rubble MIAMI (AP) — A section of a parking garage under construction at a community college collapsed Wednesday, killing two people and trapping two others in the rubble, officials said. One worker was rescued amid the debris, but there was too much concrete around the other to immediately get him out. At least 10 other workers were hurt when the roof of the five-story concrete garage fell, creating a pancake-style collapse on the campus of MiamiDade College, officials said. “It was a floor upon floor, collapsing all the way down to the ground floor,” Miami-Dade Fire Rescue Capt. Louie Fernandez said. The trapped worker was pinned inside a vehicle. He was receiving oxygen, had an IV inserted into him and was being treated by a physician and a paramedic. Officials did not describe the extent of his injuries. They said it could be hours possibly even days before they can rescue him. “It’s going to be a long, tedious effort,” Fernandez said. Dogs, firefighters and other people in hard hats walked over piles of concrete, plywood and metal to look for other possible victims. Authorities believed at least one more worker was still unaccounted for, and they were trying to make sure everyone else was OK. Many workers left the site without telling authorities. Victoria Buczynski of Miami said she saw the collapse while she was working at Gurkha Cigars across the street from the construction site at the Miami-Dade College. “It fell to the ground like a house of cards,” Buczynski said. “The construction workers started running out, screaming. It was loud. Our entire building shook.” No students were in the area at the time. The campus was evacuated and closed for the rest of the week. Investigators

planned to pick through the rubble to see what caused the garage to crumble. “We just know that the roof collapsed,” Miami-Dade FireRescue spokeswoman Griselle Marino said. William P. Byrne, president and chief executive officer of the garage contractor, Ajax Building Corp., said an internal review was being launched to determine the cause. Byrne said the company would embrace “any additional protocols, policies and procedures that will enhance and ensure the continued priority of safety.” Marino said three people were initially trapped in the rubble, including the man who died. Another eight were taken to a hospital, she said. Two injured workers were treated on the scene. One of the rescued was pulled out from under a steal beam by four firefighters. His face and hands were bloody and he was put on a stretcher and carried away, according to a video shot by Miami-Dade FireRescue and provided to The Associated Press. The construction site looked like a typical one. A large crane stood beside the pile of rubble. Pickup trucks, trash bins and a tractor-trailer were nearby, as were ladders, a cooler and piles of wood. Ground was broken on the $22.5 million project in February, and the 1,855-space garage was to be finished in December, according Ajax’s website. The first floor was to have classroom and office space. The structure is next to the college’s main office building and nestled among other campus buildings. The college serves about 8,000 students and is one of several campuses in the MiamiDade College system. This campus opened in 2006. The identity of the worker who died was not immediately released.

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.

Leaky rotation

October 11, 2012

Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Mike Leake reaches down on the mound as San Francisco Giants’ Angel Pagan, rear, rounds the bases after hitting a solo home run in the first inning of Game 4 of the National League division series Wednesday in Cincinnati.

Giants force Game 5 with 8-3 win CINCINNATI (AP) — Cincinnati’s ace is out of action. His replacement let the Reds down on Wednesday. Now, they are turning to Mat Latos their biggest offseason addition to avoid an unprecedented playoff meltdown. The Reds saw the 2-0 lead they built in San Francisco evaporate as the Giants pounced on emergency starter Mike Leake for five runs in four-plus innings on the way to an 8-3 win that tied their best-of-five National League Division Series, 2-2. Cincinnati now pins its hopes on Latos in Thursday’s decisive Game 5. Latos, helping out after starter Johnny Cueto suffered a

strained muscle in his right side one out into Game 1 of the series Saturday, pitched four effective relief innings in the Reds’ 5-2 win at San Francisco. “It’s another game,” Latos said. “It’s a team that I’m comfortable with a team that I’ve faced before. I’m just looking at it as another start. I’ve just got to go out there and pitch my game.” Right fielder Jay Bruce believes the Reds still have an edge in the series, even after two straight losses. “All you can ask for is an opportunity,” said Bruce, who went 0-for-3 on Wednesday, “We

BEREA (AP) — Browns linebacker Scott Fujita accused Roger Goodell of abusing his power as commissioner for his handling of the New Orleans Saints’ bounty case. Fujita also criticized the NFL’s recent record on player safety and said he plans to appeal the reduced suspension. He expects to play Sunday when the winless Browns (0-5) host the Cincinnati Bengals. Fujita, who had his three-game suspension reduced to one on Tuesday by Goodell, released a s t a t e m e n t FUJITA Wednesday in which he expressed being most angered with a letter he received from Goodell after his suspension was reduced. Before practicing Wednesday, Fujita said in the statement that he’s pleased Goodell acknowledged he never participated in the Saints’ pay-for-hits program. However, Fujita did not like the content or the tone of the letter in which the commissioner chastised him for not stepping in and stopping the program. “For him to come out and say he was disappointed in me for not standing up to my coach,” Fujita said after practice Wednesday. “I haven’t had someone tell me they were disappointed in me since I was 12 years old, and that was my father.” Goodell wrote to Fujita that he was “surprised and disappointed by the fact that you, a former defensive captain and a passionate advocate for player safety, ignored such a program and permitted it to continue. … . If you had spoken up, perhaps other players would have refused

USADA outlines its case against Armstrong By The Associated Press

O-linemen central figures for OSU Andrew Norwell says when he and the rest of Ohio State’s offensive linemen walk into a room, the conversation stops and everyone takes note of the small group of large men. People are noticing them even more these days, now that they’re central figures on a team that is unbeaten and ranked No. 8. See Page 14.

Lance Armstrong challenged the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency to name names and show what it had on him. On Wednesday, it did. The anti-doping group released a report on its case against Armstrong a point-bypoint roadmap of the lengths it says Armstrong went to in winning seven Tour de France titles USADA has ordered taken away. In more than 150 pages filled

with allegations, USADA names 11 former teammates George Hincapie, Tyler Hamilton and Floyd Landis among them as key witnesses. It details the way those men and others say drugs were delivered and administered to Armstrong’s teams. It discusses Armstrong’s continuing relationship with and payments to a doctor, Michele Ferrari, years after Ferrari was sanctioned in Italy and Armstrong claimed to have broken ties with him.

It presents as matter-of-fact reality that winning and doping went hand in hand in cycling and that Armstrong’s teams were the best at getting it done without getting caught. He won the Tour as leader of the U.S. Postal Service team from 19992004 and again in 2005 with the Discovery Channel as the primary sponsor. The report also uses Armstrong’s own words against him. “We had one goal and one

ambition and that was to win the greatest bike race in the world and not just to win it once, but to keep winning it,” the report reads, quoting from testimony Armstrong gave in an earlier legal proceeding. But, USADA said, the path Armstrong chose to pursue his goals “ran far outside the rules.” It accuses him of depending on performance-enhancing drugs to fuel his victories and “more

Armstrong ■ CONTINUED FROM 13 ruthlessly, to expect and to require that his teammates” do the same. Armstrong did not fight the USADA charges, but insists he never cheated. His attorney, Tim Herman, called the report “a one-sided hatchet job a taxpayer funded tabloid piece rehashing old, disproved, unreliable allegations based largely on axe-grinders, serial perjurers, coerced testimony, sweetheart deals and threat-induced stories.” Aware of the criticism his agency has faced from Armstrong and his legion of followers, USADA Chief Executive Travis Tygart insisted his group handled this case under the same rules as any other. He pointed out that Armstrong was given the chance to take his case to arbitration and he declined, choosing in August to accept the sanctions

instead. “We focused solely on finding the truth without being influenced by celebrity or non-celebrity, threats, personal attacks or political pressure because that is what clean athletes deserve and demand,” Tygart said. Some of the newest information never spelled out in detail before Wednesday includes USADA’s depiction of Armstrong’s continuing relationship with Ferrari. Like Armstrong, he has received a lifetime ban from USADA. Ferrari, long thought of as the mastermind of Armstrong’s alleged doping plan, was investigated in Italy and Armstrong claimed he had cut ties with him after a 2004 conviction. USADA cites financial records that show payments of at least $210,000 in the two years after that. “The repeated efforts by

■ National Football League

Armstrong and his representatives to mischaracterize and minimize Armstrong’s relationship with Ferrari are indicative of the true nature of that relationship,” the report states. “If there is not something to hide, there is no need to hide it and certainly no need to repeatedly lie about it.” In some ways, the USADA report simply pulls together and amplifies allegations that have followed Armstrong ever since he beat cancer and won the Tour for the first time. At various times and in different forums, Landis, Hamilton and others have said that Armstrong encouraged doping on his team and used banned substances himself. While the arguments about Armstrong will continue among sports fans and there is still a question of

whether USADA or the International Cycling Union (UCI) has ultimate control of taking away his Tour titles the new report puts a cap on a long round of official investigations. Armstrong was cleared of criminal charges in February after a federal grand jury probe that lasted about two years. Tygart said evidence from 26 people, including 15 riders with knowledge of the U.S. Postal Service team’s doping activities, provided material for the report. Other cyclists interviewed USADA included by Frankie Andreu, Michael Barry, Tom Danielson, Levi Leipheimer, Stephen Swart, Christian Vande Velde, Jonathan Vaughters and David Zabriskie. Tygart said the evidence shows the code of silence that dominated cycling has been shattered.

Getting noticed Buckeye offensive linemen becoming key figures

AP PHOTO

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger rolls out looking to pass during the fourth quarter against the Philadelphia Eagles in Pittsburgh, Sunday. The Steelers won 16-14.

Good time to start streaking NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The Pittsburgh Steelers may have picked the right place to start winning on the road when they visit the punchless Tennessee Titans tonight. The Steelers (2-2) have two home wins and two road losses, and with running back Rashard Mendenhall back in the lineup to complement Ben Roethlisberger, they hope to pound away at a defense that has allowed more points than any other team in the league. “If we are going to be a competitive type of team, the type of team we aspire to be, you have to go into hostile environments and do the job,” Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said. “We haven’t done that. Thursday night in Nashville, we anticipate it to be hostile. We anticipate a certain level of urgency coming from these guys.” Urgency may be putting it mildly. The Titans (1-4) come into the game off a 30-7 loss to the Minnesota Vikings, a game in which quarterback Matt Hasselbeck was ineffective replacing the injured Jake Locker and Chris Johnson was held in check with 24 yards on 15 rushes. Even with safety Troy Polamalu missing his third game with a strained right calf and linebacker LaMarr Woodley possibly out with a strained right hamstring, the Steelers are looking to begin a winning streak. “We’ve just got to play good football,” Steelers defensive back Ike Taylor said. “We’re 0-2 on the road, that’s what the resume says about our 2012 season.”

Ryan Mundy is expected to replace Polamalu again, though Will Allen might get more playing time. Linebacker James Harrison returned last week from a left knee injury. And through the injuries, the Steelers are still fifth in the NFL, allowing 280 yards a game. The Titans, meanwhile, are 30th in rushing at 65.4 yards a game, and Johnson added to his struggles by losing a fumble in last week’s loss. The former 2,000-yard rusher is averaging all of 2.9 yards per carry with 210 yards and no touchdowns. Hasselbeck is starting his second straight game with Locker sidelined with a dislocated left shoulder. The good news is receiver Kenny Britt is healthy, and has practiced the past couple days. He is returning from a torn right knee ligament last season followed by a sprained left ankle last month. The Titans are ready to get back on the field early after last week’s loss. “Having no time to really harp on all the stuff the last couple weeks, it’s good,” Titans left tackle Michael Roos said. “It’s going to be a physical fight. Everyone here’s played against them before in the offensive line. You know what’s coming. Just get ready for it.” The Steelers have dominated this series between the former AFC Central rivals, winning three straight and six of their last nine with Tennessee. Having Mendenhall back after a knee injury in January should help. He debuted against Philadelphia and averaged 5.8 yards a carry.

COLUMBUS (AP) — Andrew Norwell says when he and the rest of Ohio State’s offensive linemen walk into a room, the conversation stops and everyone takes note of the small group of large men. People are noticing them even more these days, now that they’re central figures on a team that is unbeaten and ranked No. 8. Coach Urban Meyer credits the line for the Buckeyes’ big wins the past two weeks against nationally ranked Michigan State and Nebraska. Meyer used to denigrate the position. No more. Last spring, he said the front wall was “nonfunctional.” Slowly but surely, he has become the unit’s biggest fan. “Our offensive line is the whole reason why we’re where we are today,” Meyer said this week. “Tell it the way it is. Our offensive line is coming on. We called that group nonfunctional, because they were.” After the Buckeyes’ 1716 win at Michigan State two weeks ago a game in which the line allowed Ohio State to run off the last 4 minutes while playing keep-away with the ball every member up front was designated by the coaching staff as a player of the game. In the wake of Saturday’s 63-38 beatdown of No. 21 Nebraska, Meyer again heaped praise on the big guys after they forged the openings that led to 372 rushing yards. For a coach famous for his spread attack, for fleet receivers and sprinters who line up in the backfield, he also said something curious. “We’re kind of a ‘pound you’ offense right now,” he said after midnight on a crisp Saturday at Ohio Stadium. “I don’t mind that. I’ve not had a lot of those. But that’s a ‘pound you’ offense.” So, it’s almost as if the offensive line tackles Jack Mewhort and Reid Fragel, guards Marcus Hall and Norwell and center Corey

Ohio State running back Carlos Hyde, left, celebrates his touchdown against Nebraska with teammate Reid Fragel during the second quarter Saturday in Columbus. Linsley has changed Meyer’s mind as much as he’s changed his mind about it. There are a lot of theories why the line has gotten so much better. Some say it’s because it goes up against the likes of John Simon and Johnathan Hankins, the Buckeyes’ two man-eating D-linemen, every day in practice. Others say it’s because the linemen are so close they are almost indistinguishable from each other. “All of us are friends, all of us came in in the same recruiting class except for Norwell, and he’s one crazy dude and fits right in with us,” Linsley said. “There’s no separation within the line. There’s nobody looking at each other: ‘Oh, man, why isn’t he playing well?’ There’s none of that on the sideline or in the locker room or anywhere. It’s all positive reinforcement, we all know each other. We all feel like we’re brothers.” Fragel, converted from tight end to starting right

tackle this spring, is the tallest at 6-foot-8, although the group averages 6-6. Linsley is the “lightest” at 295 pounds, even though there’s only a 20-pound variance between him and the heaviest, Hall. They’re used to standing out. “When we walk into a room together, go out to eat, all eyes are on us because we’re not average people,” Norwell said. He said it’s not togetherness but plain old effort that made them more than functional. “It was just hard work, coming in every day and getting coached hard,” said Norwell, his long hair tied back in a ponytail. “You take baby steps and just move forward.” Even opposing coaches have noticed the transformation. The Buckeyes play at Indiana (2-3, 0-2) on Saturday night. “Everybody talks about the spread. You can talk tempo, you can talk shotgun, but the game is still a

physical game,” Hoosiers coach Kevin Wilson said. “It’s (requires) a physical presence and it starts in a couple of areas. (Up front) they’re making some great strides. I’ve been very, very impressed with their line.” Now if there was just more of them. Meyer frets that even the slightest injury to anybody arrayed along the front wall could be a disaster for the paper-thin Buckeyes. “Our backups are nonfunctional,” Meyer said. “God bless us, if a shoe string breaks or something, we’re going to call timeout and get a new shoe string because we just don’t have the depth there right now (to sub somebody else in).” The starters, however, continue to play every down and make every play. They’ve helped turn quarterback Braxton Miller into a Heisman Trophy contender and the running attack into a facsimile of what it used to be back in the glory days of Archie Griffin and Eddie George.

may have accepted the lesser suspension without a fight. “I’ve got to admit, the condescending tone really sent me over the edge,” Fujita said. “I thought it was uncalled for and inappropriate. We had a very respectful, productive meeting last week but the redetermination to come out the way it did and for me to be resuspended for not standing up to my defensive coordinator didn’t make sense to me.” On Tuesday, Goodell

upheld the suspensions of Jonathan Vilma and Will Smith and reduced penalties for Fujita and Anthony Hargrove. Vilma will sit out the entire season and Smith’s punishment stands at four games. Hargrove, a free agent defensive lineman, will face a two-game suspension once he signs with a team. He originally was hit with eight games, but that was reduced to seven with five games already served.

Fujita ■ CONTINUED FROM 13 to participate and the consequences with which we are now dealing could have been avoided.” A member of the NFL Players Association’s executive board, Fujita, who met with Goodell on Sept. 28 in New York, was most bothered that Goodell’s “condescending tone used in his redetermination letter was neither accurate nor productive.” Fujita went on, “Additionally, I am now purportedly being sus-

pended for failing to confront my former defensive coordinator for his inappropriate use of language. This seems like an extremely desperate attempt to punish me. I also think it sets a dangerous precedent when players can be disciplined for not challenging the behavior of their superiors. This is an absolute abuse of the power that’s been afforded to the Commissioner.” Fujita said if the wording in Goodell’s letter had not been so offensive he

Red Devils win outright title

Trojans

Finish off Shawnee, 7-0 Staff Reports

SPRINGFIELD

Even with a pair of draws, no one in the Central Buckeye Conference Kenton Trail Division was good enough to beat the Tippecanoe Red Devils. Tippecanoe (10-3-3, 90-2 CBC Kenton Trail) traveled to Springfield on Wednesday night and closed out yet another outright division championship with a 7-0 win over Shawnee. “This was good for us,” Tippecanoe coach Scott Downing said. “We had games earlier where we struggled to score goals, so this was nice.” John Pfister led the Red Devils with two goals and an assist and Zach Vinski had a goal and an

assist. Ben Felter and Eric Ramos both added goals for Tippecanoe. Ryan Kagy and Glen Asbury each had an assist. The Red Devils also benefited from two Shawnee own-goals. Tecumseh was the runner-up in the division with an 8-1-1 record — with the lone loss coming at the hands of the Devils. With the win, Tippecanoe is finished with regular season play and will be preparing for its Division II Sectional tournament opener Tuesday against MiltonUnion. Editor’s note: The Tippecanoe-Springfield Shawnee girls result was not available at time of press.

Reds ■ CONTINUED FROM 13 control our destiny. We feel like their backs are against the wall. This isn’t their home field.” Rookie third baseman Toddd Frazier echoed Bruce. “We’ve just got to keep thinking we’re still ahead,” he said. “We know what we’re capable of and know what we can do. “They’ve got a little momentum, but we’re at home, and the fans aere going to be behind us 100 percent.” The Reds hoped to bring Cueto their leading winner at 19-9 in the regular season back for Wednesday’s game. Instead, they were forced to scratch him and replace him on the

roster with Leake less than five hours before Wednesday’s game. Angel Pagan hit Leake’s second pitch for a home run and Gregor Blanco added a two-run shot in the second inning to give San Francisco the lead for good. Leake, making his post-season debut, allowed six hits and five runs with two walks and one strikeout in 4 1-3 innings. “It felt like there were more fans, but it was still another game,” he said about his first postseason appearance. “I would like to have done a little better. They were putting good swings on the ball, but it was mainly me missing spots and them taking advantage.”

■ CONTINUED FROM 13 The Indians (6-9, 2-3 GWOC North) held Troy to one goal in the first 40 minutes and threatened a number of times themselves, but in the end the Trojans poured on five second-half goals — including a pair of penalty kicks — to claim the GWOC North championship with a 6-0 victory in Piqua Wednesday night. “We knew going in, with it being a rivalry game, how highly seeded we are (in the tournament), our record in the GWOC North … we knew we would get their (Piqua’s) best effort,” Troy coach Michael Rasey said. “And we knew it would be extremely physical. It got really physical in the second half.” But by then Troy (13-2, 5-0 GWOC North) had already taken total control. Still, after Catelyn Schmiedebusch stole the ball in front of the Piqua net, won a 50-50 ball to get around the person she stole it from and drove it home a mere 2:34 into the game, the Indians kept things interesting by limiting Troy’s chances for the rest of the first half. “Give Piqua credit. They got us out of our game for a big chunk of the first half,” Rasey said. “We were being very defensive and they kept us back on our heels a bit.” But Troy’s defense was up to the task, holding Piqua scoreless, as well. And oonce the second half began, it was all over. Kasey Copas set up Madison Burchfield for another quick score five minutes into the half. And with the Indians pressing and getting more aggressive in an attempt to fight their way back into the game, Copas cashed in a penalty kick with 20 minutes to play to make it a 30 game. Burchfield then scored on another assist from

Troy’s Catelyn Schmiedebusch (4) heads the ball in front of a pair of Piqua defenders Wednesday night. Copas, and Leah Soutar scored a pair of goals in the game’s final three minutes — one on an assist from Ashley Rector and the final one on another penalty kick — to close things out. “The girls stepped up in the second half,” Rasey said. “We regrouped after that first half and showed the kind of team we are.

A championship team. Sidney won the title outright for the past two seasons, while Troy won it outright in 2009. “It feels really good,” Rasey said of winning the title outright. “This was a goal we set for ourselves at the beginning of the season. These seniors hadn’t won the title outright since

they’ve been up on varsity. They’ve worked hard for this. They deserve a lot of credit for attaining the goal they set.” Now Troy — the No. 3 seed in the upcoming Division I Sectional tournament — finishes the regular season on Saturday night by hosting top-seeded Beavercreek.

Sandusky’s pension revoked By The Associated Press

Pennsylvania’s public employee pension system said Wednesday it will revoke Jerry Sandusky’s $59,000 annual pension in the wake of his conviction and sentence in the child sexual abuse scandal. The State Employees’ Retirement System notified Sandusky by letter that his crimes triggered forfeiture of his pension. The former Penn State assistant football coach was sentenced Tuesday to at least 30 years in prison for molesting 10 boys. The retirement system told Sandusky he will no longer receive his $4,908 monthly annuity and informed his wife, Dottie, she is no longer entitled to a survivor’s benefit. Sandusky’s lawyer, Karl Rominger, contended the agency has no legal grounds for revoking the pension and said Sandusky will fight any attempt to do so. “It’s my inclination to believe that they are just going through the motions to try to throw some red meat to the public, but they know they are going to lose,” Rominger said.

Pennsylvania’s pension forfeiture law, originally passed in 1978, primarily applies to public employees convicted of a financial crime related to the office “or when his public employment places him in a position to commit the crime.” Since 2004, it has also applied to any public school employee convicted of a sex crime against a student. In its letter to Sandusky, the retirement system said it had determined that two of the criminal charges of which Sandusky was convicted involuntary deviate sexual intercourse and indecent assault fell under the forfeiture law. It also said Sandusky maintained extensive ties to Penn State after his 1999 retirement, qualifying him as a “de facto” employee subject to forfeiture for crimes committed even when he was no longer on the university’s payroll. SERS’ letter to Sandusky was released to The Associated Press in response to an open-records request. Rominger argued in part that since Sandusky wasn’t convicted of molesting a Penn State student, the forfeiture law does not apply to

him. Sandusky’s young victims came to him through The Second Mile, his charity for troubled youth. “It did not involve students where he worked, and that’s going to be the crux,” Rominger said. But Philadelphia attorney Alaine Williams, an expert on public employee labor law, said courts have broadly construed the forfeiture law. “I think he’s got a very serious problem,” she said ahead of the retirement system’s announcement. Sandusky entered the State Employees’ Retirement System when he began working as a Penn State football coach in 1969. He collected a $148,000 lump sum payment when he retired from the university in 1999, and began receiving a monthly annuity, according to records provided by SERS. Sandusky received a total of $900,000 in pension payments between 1999 and September 2012. The forfeiture statute permits an employee to keep his or her contributions without interest, minus any fees or restitution association with the employee’s conviction.
