Destination shopping Ladies consignment store opens downtown

BY NATALIE KNOTH Staff Writer nknoth@tdnpublishing.com roy’s newest ladies consignment store, The Savvy Squirrel, 1 E. Main St., offers upscale second-hand designer clothing at reasonable prices — something shoppers will go nuts over in this economy.

Owner Cherry A. Murwin said the name is indicative of the smartminded (savvy) consumers shopping at a store that is “always planning for the next season” — like a squirrel.

The grand opening Thursday was “fantastic,” Murwin said.

“I think everyone — the who’s who — of Troy showed up,” she said, jokingly adding, “We had record sales — it was the first day.”

Murwin also owns C. Murwin Travel, which has organized shopping trips to the Snooty Fox chain of stores in the Cincinnati area, which is how she came up with the idea for the shop.

She found Troy to be the perfect place for the destination shopping boutique.

“I didn’t want a strip mall. I wanted somewhere with character — the perfect space and perfect building. I came around the corner (in Troy) and just got tears in my eyes. I knew it was the right place,”

T

Along with a line of clothes, antiques also can be found at The Savvy Squirrel. she recalled.

The selection of couture and readywear designers includes St. John, Gucci, Tommy Hilfiger, Gap and Anne Klein, among others in women’s, plus, maternity and junior sizes. Shoes, handbags and household items including crystal, dinette sets and coffee tables also are available.

Items can be brought in to be redeemed for 50 percent of the price at which the item is sold.

“It’s fun for ladies because they

can clean out their closets and make money and buy new clothes while saving,” Murwin said.

Karin Manovich, director of Troy Main Street, said she was pleased to have another retailer downtown, especially one that offers designer clothing at deep discounts.

The building had been vacant since February 2011, when a chocolate store closed.

“We had been working for a quite a while to get a unique, destination business,” Manovich said.

Murwin’s travel business meshes well with the boutique-style store, given that she can now include The Savvy Squirrel as part of the shopping tours, which in addition to the Snooty Fox include stops at David Fair on the Square and consignment shops in Tipp City and Centerville. She is currently planning the next trip, set for spring, with three total planned for Sundays throughout the year.

Private tours can be arranged on other days as well.

Opening The Savvy Squirrel is only one part of Murwin’s plans for the building. Phase 2 will be leasing and renovating the second floor within the next couple years, and Phase 3 is turning the third floor into a ballroom or entertainment room.

Employees and customers at Home Depot, 1200 E. Ash St., did a double take Thursday night after a strange customer pranced in through the front doors.

That’s right, the buck stopped there.

A confused deer walked into the store through the automatic doors and began roaming the business from aisle to aisle, surprising many workers and customers before the police were called to respond at 6:25 p.m.

Once police arrived the wild animal was ushered into a fenced-in, outdoor lawn and garden area, where it became trapped.

“The deer panicked and began jumping against a big steel fence and it became injured and was bleeding,” said Piqua Deputy Chief Marty Grove. “While it was attempting to get out through the fence it became lodged behind one of the racks and some pallets of gardening materials. His antlers were lodged in the fence as well.”

Police evacuated the outdoor area so no employees or customers would be in the area so they could better handle the situation, but the deer continued flailing around after he was caught up in the fence and caused serious injury to itself.

“Officers, unfortunately, didn’t have any other choice except to put the deer down,” Grove said.

An Ohio state wildlife officer called to the scene took possession of the deer carcass for testing.

Driver commits suicide in moving van; vehicle hits cars, pole

BY WILL E SANDERS Ohio Community Media wsanders@dailycall.com Police said the driver who was found dead in his van after careening into several parked cars along Wood Street before crashing into a utility pole Thursday night died as a result of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

6

PIQUA The authorities identified the deceased driver as Phillip M. Roll, 32, of Piqua, who was pronounced dead at the scene.

“Our preliminary investigation leads us to believe that he died from a selfinflicted gunshot wound and through a subsequent

investigation we discovered that he had made some suicidal comments (earlier that day) due to some personal problems,” said Piqua Deputy Chief Marty Grove.

The Miami County Coroner will officially determine the cause of death.

Police responded to the intersection of Young and Ellerman streets at around

8 p.m. after numerous vehicles along Wood Street were damaged by a series of crashes Mr. Roll caused before his vehicle struck a utility pole and came to a rest.

There were no other injuries reported as a result of the crashes, police said.

Grove said he hopes the death is a teaching and

learning situation for others who might need help but are too afraid to get it or know how to go about it.

“If there is anyone who is distraught due to personal problems, we strongly encourage them to seek out the help that is very accessible in this area,” Grove said. “We will also help them seek out the type of assistance that they need.”

Shirts • Continued from 1 in the Shenandoah National Park in Virginia as a part of a men’s backpacking trip from Grace Baptist Church in Troy.

The DDPT students who assisted in the fundraiser for the Stace family consisted of Haley Smith of Covington, Shelby Ross of Covington, Amanda Cruse of Piqua and Emily Snyder of Troy.

Smith said she wanted to help the family as soon as she heard about Mr. Stace’s untimely death.

“I thought about it the rest of the summer, and I just knew we could do a fundraiser,” said Smith, who added instructors Ralph Ash and Randy Weaver assisted.

The four students designed a silk-screened shirt featuring a computergenerated drawing that Smith made of Mr. Stace.

Afterward, the four students used a paper printout of a double imprint shirt and then began holding a sale of the shirts to fellow students and instructors with the proceeds going directly to the Stace family.

Smith said she and the others were surprised and delighted by the response they received.

“The whole project went bigger than I ever expected,” Smith said.

The four seniors have nearly completed production, which includes silk

screening both front and back sides of the shirt, drying, folding and packaging the individual orders.

Ash and Weaver said they were pleased with how the students showed such initiative and for using what they learned as a result of the program to help someone else.

To date, the four seniors have raised $1,100 “They were determined to make a difference, and they did it,” Ash said. “This kind of student achievement would have really made Dave happy.”

No one is more pleased with the outcome than the four entrepreneurs. Smith, Ross, Snyder and Cruse said they appreciated everyone who bought shirts and supported the effort.

“It would never have been possible without everyone coming together on this, so thank you,” Smith said.

Mr. Stace is survived by his wife, Tamara L. “Tammy” (Evans) Stace, and three daughters, Talia, Keara and Josalyn Stace.

Also, the Miami East National Honor Society is sponsoring a benefit dinner and silent auction for Mr. Stace’s family.

The benefit will be from 5-8 p.m. Nov. 17. The dinner will begin at 5:30 p.m. and a silent auction will run from 5-7:30 p.m. Tickets are $10 for adults and students and $5 for children 6 and under.

Suspects apprehended Piqua police take two individuals into custody in the 700 block of South Main Street in Piqua on Friday afternoon in connection with an alleged shoplifting at the Troy Meijer store. A third suspect was apprehended after a foot chase. Arrested were Abby Lingo, 27, of Piqua, who was charged with failure to comply and was wanted on a warrant for driving under suspension, and Henry Ward Jr., 31, Piqua, who was charged with his alleged involvement in the crimes. A third suspect was taken into custody at the scene by the Troy Police Department and his name was not immediately available.

Grandma claims $23M lotto prize just in time SAN BERNARDINO, Calif. (AP) — For more than five months while Julie Cervera struggled to pay a $600 electrical bill, feed her family and keep the cable company from shutting off her service because she couldn’t pay, she was a millionaire without knowing it.

Meanwhile, her $23 million lottery ticket languished forgotten in the

glove compartment of her car.

On Thursday, someone texted her a photo of her daughter, Charliena Marquez, buying the winning ticket for her at a Palmdale Liquor store.

The photo had been released by lottery officials searching for the mysterious winner of the May drawing.

“I put my 99-cent glass-

es on, and I had to put two pairs on to see it,” said Cervera, 69, of Victorville.

She recognized her daughter in the grainy photo, but she still couldn’t read the caption.

“I thought she robbed a bank because I couldn’t see the words on top,” Cervera said with a laugh.

“So I put on a third pair (of glasses) and it said she won. I was like, ‘No way!’”

Piqua family appears on the ‘Dr. Phil’ show Staff reports

PIQUA

A Piqua family displaced by a Sept. 16 house fire appeared on the national morning television show “Dr. Phil” on Thursday morning and aired some of their dirty laundry.

Piqua resident Jennifer Stotler, 37, appeared on the show with her sister, Suzanne, her 16-year-old daughter, Alyssa Kuykendall, and several other members of her family who said Stotler is a neglectful parent of three children.

Stotler’s home caught fire Sept. 16 and 10 people were inside at the time of the blaze, including four adults and six children between the ages of 1 and

16.

The title of the show was, “House on Fire: A Family Divided.”

According to the show’s synopsis, “Suzanne says when the family’s home caught fire, (Stotler) saved her daughter’s friend’s baby and left her own children to fend for themselves.

(Stotler’s) 16-year-old daughter, Alyssa, suffered a broken ankle after jumping from the second story, and her 12-year-old son ran back into the burning house to save his 9-year-old sister.” “(Stotler) maintains she is a good mom, and says there was too much smoke

and fire to go back for her kids,” it continued.

At the time of the fire everyone inside the home was asleep.

While an official cause of the fire was never given the home was heavily damaged and caused $65,000 of damages to the home with another $15,000 in contents.

In the aftermath of the fire the Northern Miami Valley chapter of the American Red Cross assisted the family.

At the conclusion of the show, Dr. Phil offered professional resources to help Stotler and her family.

In addition, Dr. Phil also surprised Kuykendall with new Oticon hearings aids, which she lost as a result of the fire.

PERSPECTIVE

“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 San Francisco Chronicle on George McGovern: If anyone was entitled to regrets, it was George McGovern, who died at 90.

His 1972 campaign was such a disaster that he once joked that he “wanted to run for the presidency in the worst possible way — and I did.”

It was an experience that today’s poll-tested campaigns are groomed to avoid.

But McGovern stood tall for principles, both political (peace, progressivism, inclusion) and personal (decency, humility), that were oblivious to the winds of the day.

He loosened the rules at the 1972 convention, producing a platform that called for an immediate withdrawal from Vietnam, amnesty for draft resisters and guaranteed jobs and family incomes.

The result was a convention so chaotic that his acceptance speech was delayed until 3 a.m., when hardly anyone was tuned in.

Based on anonymous “Obama-administration officials,” Iran’s leaders have expressed a willingness to enter into direct negotiations after the US presidential election — if the incumbent wins a second term.

One option reportedly under consideration is “more for more” — more restrictions on Tehran’s enrichment activities in return for more easing of sanctions.

Specifically, the U.S. and other Western countries would allow the Islamic Republic to develop a civilian nuclear power program industry on condition it agrees to strict monitoring.

Apparently, this means Iran would be allowed to maintain 3.5percent enriched uranium, suitable for civilian use, and quit producing 20 percent uranium, which has medical uses, but which can also be enriched to weapons-grade 90 percent within two years according to most estimates.

With elections just days off, President Barack Obama does not want to be portrayed as willing to risk yet another American war in the Middle East without first exhausting all positive alternatives.

And biting economic sanctions, while preferable to a military operation, inevitably punish the entire Iranian population — men, women and children.

If the possibility exists to peacefully end Iran’s aspirations for an atomic bomb why not explore it?

DOONESBURY

The good, the OK and the terrible of Halloween I realize that it’s actually November, but there are a crazy number of cities not even holding trick-or-treat until today. (Not Kettering or Troy though, we made our kids tough out the cold, wind and rain!)

So seeing as how more than two handfuls of cities around the area haven’t even seen their fair share of trick-or-treaters, I decided I’d go ahead and warn them of what’s headed their way.

In short, there’s a little bit of good, a tiny bit of OK and a whole lot of downright awful. Well, at least in Kettering there was.

I’m probably biased, but I’m pretty sure that tiny children have the most fun with Halloween anyway. Whether their parents have forced them into some terrible, fluffy butterfly costume (that’s actually what Pear was on her first Halloween) or they decide they want to be a superhero puppy lizard, it seems like toddlers and preschoolers have the best imaginations when it comes to dressing up for the evening.

My husband and I are the kind of (possibly overbearing) parents who insist on being present for everything. This includes taking our daughter costume shopping,

Amanda Stewart Troy Daily News Columnist picking out the tights that go with said costume and the actual walking around the neighborhood together and taking turns walking up to doorways with her.

So we haven’t really passed out candy in a few years. The good thing about this is that not only do we cross paths with a lot of other trick-or-treaters along the way, but we get a peek inside of all the houses with itty bitty newborns who are too little to beg for candy, but so new that the parents want to dress them in some ridiculous get-up.

Case in point: the Godzilla, cotton candy and My Little Pony I saw three charming infants dressed up as. I know, I know, you’re thinking the cotton candy is a little silly, but until you see a lit-

— Susan Funderburg Troy Main Street Events Coordinator and Farmers Market Manager

tle girl covered in fluffy pink cotton all over, you just haven’t truly lived.

The hard part about trick-ortreating is that you’re faced with the “OK.” You can see where some children had a wonderfully cute idea of what they wanted to be for Halloween, but maybe they insisted on making their own costumes or their parents didn’t have much time to weigh in on it (totally understandable).

For instance, we passed one elementary school student who wanted to be, well, I’m not sure, a box of “Frosted Flakes,” maybe? Or maybe he was going for Tony the Tiger, but wanted to be creative and chose to dress Tony the Tiger in his own box of cereal. At any rate, the poor boy had his face painted like a tiger, but was donned in a cardboard box that read “Frosted Flakes” written in thin marker.

And that was it.

The good news is that most of the terrible happened to come with the kids who were far, far too old to be trick-or-treating anyway.

Let me paint a scenario for you.

It was about 34 degrees when trick-or-treat started, an hour

later when Pearyn called it quits, it was about 30 degrees. And with the wind chill, it was probably a whole lot colder than that even. It was spitting rain the entire time and even when it stopped my husband left the umbrella up because the wind was so frigid that we needed it to block our daughter from its gusts.

After making our way down one street we headed back up the other side, when we got mowed down by a group of teenage girls dressed like, well, I don’t know what, a crappy brigade of Rainbow Brites? They had rainbow thigh highs, tight jean shorts (that didn’t really leave a whole lot to the imagination if you know what I mean), a long-sleeve, button-up shirt that was tied up to show their midriff and a rainbow bow tie.

Seriously? How do you even let your child leave the house like that when it’s warm out, let alone when it’s below freezing.

I know one thing is for sure.

Minnie Mouse may be generic, but I’ll take that over half-dressed Rainbow Brite any day.

U.S. economy adds 171,000 jobs in October Unemployment rate rises to 7.9% WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. employers added 171,000 jobs in October, and hiring was stronger in August and September than first thought. The solid job growth showed that the economy is strengthening slowly but consistently.

The unemployment rate rose to 7.9 percent from 7.8 percent in September. That was mainly because many more people began looking for work, and not all of them found jobs. The government uses a separate survey to calculate the unemployment rate, and it counts people without jobs as unemployed only if they’re looking for one.

Friday’s report was the last major snapshot of the economy before Tuesday’s elections. It’s unclear what political effect the report might have. By now, all but a few voters have made up their minds, particularly about the economy, analysts say.

Since July, the economy has created an average of 173,000 jobs a month.

That’s up from 67,000 a

month from April through June. Still, President Barack Obama will face voters with the highest unemployment rate of any incumbent since Franklin Roosevelt and slightly higher than the 7.8 percent on Inauguration Day. The work force the number of people either working or looking for work rose by 578,000 in October. And 410,000 more people said they were employed. The difference is the reason the unemployment rate rose slightly.

The influx of people seeking jobs “could be a sign that people are starting to see better job prospects and so should be read as another positive aspect to the report,” said Julia Coronado, an economist at BNP Paribas.

During a campaign stop in Columbus, Ohio, Obama said the job figures show the economy is slowly healing.

“We’ve made real progress, but we are here today because we know we’ve got more work to do,” Obama said. “Our fight goes on.”

But GOP challenger Mitt Romney pointed out to voters that the unemployment rate is now higher than when Obama took office.

“For four years, President Obama has told us that things are getting better and that we’re making progress,” Romney said.

“For too many American families, those words ring hollow. We can do better.”

Friday’s report included a range of encouraging details.

The government revised its data to show that 84,000 more jobs were added in August and September than previously estimated.

August’s job gains were revised from 142,000 to 192,000, September’s from 114,000 to 148,000.

The unemployment rate has fallen a full percentage point in the past 12 months.

Much of that decline occurred because people gave up looking for work.

That pushed the percentage of Americans working or looking for work to 63.5 percent in August, a 31-year low.

But since then, more

In this Oct. 24 photo, Fabio Magliano, right, fills out a job application as he stands in line at a job fair in Miami. According to government reports released Friday, the U.S. economy added 171,000 jobs in October, and the unemployment rate ticked up to 7.9 percent.

Americans have started or resumed their job hunts and most have found work. The percentage of Americans working or looking for work rose for a second straight month in October to 63.8 percent.

The number of people with part-time jobs who wanted full-time work dropped last month. And the number of discouraged workers also declined. A

measure of unemployment that includes those two groups plus the unemployed dipped to 14.6 percent from 14.7 percent.

The economy has added jobs for 25 straight months.

There are now 580,000 more than when Obama took office.

But there were also signs of the economy’s persistent weakness. Average hourly pay dipped a penny to

$23.58. In the past year, average hourly pay for most workers rose only 1.1 percent. That’s the smallest annual gain on records dating back to 1965.

Because more people sought jobs than found one, the number of unemployed rose 170,000 to 12.3 million.

That pushed up the unemployment rate.

The October jobs report was compiled before Superstorm Sandy struck the East Coast earlier this week and devastated many businesses.

Job gains were spread broadly across most industries. Businesses added 184,000 jobs in October, the most in eight months.

Government overall cut 13,000.

The nascent housing recovery is finally generating jobs. Construction companies added 17,000 jobs, the most since January.

Manufacturers added 13,000 jobs after shedding 27,000 in the previous two months.

Professional services such as architects and computer systems providers also added jobs. So did retailers, hotels and restaurants, and health care.

Space shuttle Atlantis makes a final 10-mile trek CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — Accompanied by astronauts and shuttle workers, Atlantis made a slow, solemn journey to retirement Friday, the last space shuttle to orbit the world and the last to leave NASA’s nest.

Atlantis emerged just before dawn from the massive Vehicle Assembly Building and, riding atop a 76-wheeled platform, began the 10-mile trek to the Kennedy Space Center’s main tourist stop.

About 200 workers gathered in the early morning chill to see the spaceship out

in the open for the final time. They were joined by the four astronauts who closed out the shuttle program aboard Atlantis more than a year ago.

“My opinion is it looks better vertically,” said Christopher Ferguson, the commander of Atlantis’ final flight.

“It’s a short trip. It’s taking a day,” he added. “It traveled a lot faster in its former life. But that’s OK. … it’s got a new role.”

Portions of Atlantis’ final launch countdown boomed over loudspeakers before the shuttle hit the road.

Employees gathered in front of a long white banner that read, “We Made History,” and below that the single word “Atlantis.” They followed the spaceship for a block or two, then scattered as the shuttle transporter revved up to its maximum 2 mph. The convoy included a dozen trucks and vans, their lights blinking.

The fact that several hundred shuttle workers are about to lose their jobs, now that Atlantis is being turned over to the visitor complex, dampened the mood.

Thousands already have been laid off.

“The untold story of the last couple years, the last missions that we flew, is the work force. I mean, the contractors knew that their numbers were going to go down … and yet they kept doing their jobs,” said NASA’s Angie Brewer, who was once in charge of getting Atlantis ready for flight.

Some were too upset to even show up. Friday’s event marked the true end to the 30-year shuttle program.

Seeing so many members of the shuttle team “helps soften the hard edge of seeing Atlantis go off to a museum,” said astronaut Rex

Walheim, part of the ship’s final crew.

Atlantis made its way down broad industrial avenues, most of them offlimits to the public. So the trek did not replicate the narrow, stop-and-go turns Endeavour encountered last month while navigating downtown Los Angeles.

The mastermind behind Atlantis’ slow march through Kennedy was sweating bullets nonetheless.

“It’s only a priceless artifact driving 9.8 miles and it weighs 164,000 pounds,” said Tim Macy, director of

project development and construction for Kennedy’s visitor complex operator, the company Delaware North.

“Other than that, no pressure at all,” Macy said, laughing. “Only the eyes of the country and the world and everybody at NASA is watching us.”

The roundabout loop took Atlantis past Kennedy’s headquarters building for a midmorning ceremony that drew several thousand past and present employees, and their guests, as well as a few dozen astronauts. A high school color guard and band led the way.

Our parents and grandparents deserve better than Obamacare’s cut to Medicare spending.

When Obama signed his healthcare bill into law, he cut Medicare spending 1 by $716 Billion.

Medicare Advantage is also being cut by 2 $156 billion , which could hurt Ohio seniors.

Candidates sharpen closing lines Two candidates, one choice that affects us all

PATASKALA (AP) — Down to a fierce finish, President Barack Obama accused Mitt Romney of scaring voters with lies on Friday, while the Republican challenger warned grimly of political paralysis and another recession if Obama reclaims the White House. Heading into the final weekend, the race’s last big report on the economy showed hiring picking up but millions still out of work.

“Four more days!”

Romney supporters bellowed at his rally in Wisconsin. “Four more years!” Obama backers shouted as the president campaigned in Ohio.

With Ohio at the center of it all, the candidates sharpened their closing lines, both clutching to the mainstream middle while lashing out at one another.

Virtually all of the nine homestretch battleground states were getting personal attention from the contenders or top members of their teams, and Romney was pressing hard to add Pennsylvania to the lastminute mix.

Urgency could be felt all across the campaign, from the big and boisterous crowds to the running count that roughly 24 million people already have voted. Outside the White House, workers were set-

Obama, for the first time, personally assailed Romney over ads suggesting that automakers General Motors and Chrysler are adding jobs in China at the expense of auto-industry dependent Ohio. Both companies have called the ads untrue. The matter is sensitive in Ohio, perhaps the linchpin state of the election.

“I know we’re close to an election, but this isn’t a game,” Obama said from

Hilliard, a heavily Republican suburb of Columbus.

“These are people’s jobs.

These are people’s lives. …

You don’t scare hardworking Americans just to scare up some votes.”

For once, the intensely scrutinized monthly jobs report seemed overshadowed by the pace of the presidential race and unlikely to affect the outcome.

Employers added a better-than-expected 171,000 jobs in October, underscoring that the economy is improving. But the rate is

still short of what will be needed to seriously shrink unemployment. The jobless rate ticked up to 7.9 percent from 7.8 percent mainly because more people jumped back into the search for work.

No issue matters more to voters than the economy, the centerpiece of a Romney message called the closing case of his campaign.

He said an Obama presidency would mean more broken relations with Congress, showdowns over government shutdowns, a chilling effect on the economy and perhaps “another recession.”

“He has never led, never worked across the aisle, never truly understood how jobs are created in the economy,” said Romney, a former private equity firm executive, in a campaign stop in Wisconsin.

“This is why I am running for president,” Romney said. “I know how to change the course the nation is on.”

Democrats sought to kick the legs out of Romney’s late-campaign theme of bipartisanship.

“Mitt Romney’s fantasy that Senate Democrats will work with him to pass his ‘severely conservative’ agenda is laughable,” said Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.

At heart, it’s a choice between bigger or smaller government. Are welfare and food stamps a hand-up for those in need or a handout on the road to dependency? Are Americans better served by consistent national programs or giving control to the states? Do environmental regulations and Wall Street rules protect citizens or hold back businesses from creating jobs? How much of the work of government should be turned over to private enterprise?

Obamacare is on the line. Keeping the president’s program in place means expanding coverage for the low-income and the uninsured and keeping costs down for patients with pre-existing conditions. Romney would repeal Obama’s health care law to get rid of its new costs and taxes and the mandate that almost everyone have health coverage. He doesn’t say what he’d do instead.

Voters are choosing what to do about the runaway national debt, which already tops $16 trillion.

Obama wants to slow spending gradually to avoid sending the economy back into recession, and raise taxes on the wealthiest Americans. Romney wants quick, more dramatic spending cuts across government, exempting the military.

It’s a judgment about what the world needs next from the leader of the United States as America eases out of the war in Afghanistan.

A more aggressive stance against Iran’s nuclear ambitions? A measured response to turmoil in Libya and the Middle East and civil war in Syria? Does success in ridding the world of Osama bin Laden equal strength against terrorists? Would pushing harder against China’s trade policies help U.S. workers or spark a trade war?

And it’s not just the White House. The tilt of the Supreme Court for decades to come may be at stake.

Four justices are in their 70s; whoever is president will probably get to choose one or more replacements.

With Social Security and Medicare on shaky ground, Election Day may shape the future of American retirement. Romney wants to gradually raise the Social Security age and hold down benefits for wealthier retirees; Obama says he wants to protect Social Security but hasn’t offered a plan. Obama wants to keep today’s Medicare but rein in its costs; Romney proposes giving future retirees payments to help buy private insurance as an alternative to Medicare.

WASHINGTON (AP) — It’s a choice sure to touch the lives of all 315 million Americans, some in profound ways their livelihoods, their health, their sense of freedom or confidence in the future, maybe even whether they go to war or live in peace.

On Tuesday, voters will pick a man, a philosophy and a portfolio of plans to shape the United States and influence the world for four years.

In days to follow, the winner will be tested by events perhaps momentous ones that no one can foresee. Voters can only go by what they know now: what Republican nominee Mitt Romney and President Barack Obama say they’ll do for the country, and what’s been revealed about each man along the way.

After six days of political conventions, six hours of debates and a months-long barrage of 30-second TV spots, plenty of people have heard enough. All that talk, talk, talk makes even mammoth issues — 7.9 percent unemployment, Obamacare, income tax rates, Social Security — sound like abstractions. Yet each affects real people, every day.

The voters’ decision is concrete and powerful and, once made, we’ll all live with it.

Some ways to look at that choice: Four years after the U.S. financial system nearly imploded, we’re still figuring out how to heal the economy and help 12 million people find work. On one side is Obama’s plan to tax the wealthy more, end tax breaks for companies that ship jobs overseas, and spend more on job training, education, infrastructure and new energy sources. On the other side are Romney’s ideas for getting the government out of the way of growth by streamlining the tax code, lowering taxes and regulations on businesses, reducing federal deficits, and curbing environmental regulations to encourage oil and gas production.

Insurance scheme puts church in bind

Financial Group and was told there was no market for them, Snell said.

The pattern is typical of life-insurance-finance programs that were promoted and sold to charities and churches across the country in recent years, usually with bad results for buyers, insurance experts said. Total Financial Group appears to have created an entire side business around marketing to charities, and it’s sold products to at least one other Anderson, Ind., church, Castleton United Methodist Church.

Raymond T. Blunk, principal at Total Financial Group, didn’t respond to messages.

Lindberg Road was left in a financial bind when the sale of its policies didn’t pan out. The church still owed $1.9 million with its note coming due Feb. 1, 2010.

Snell said church elders tried to negotiate with the bank before seeking refuge in bankruptcy court this year. Star and its attorney at Bingham Greenebaum Doll LLP declined to comment.

The church’s attorneys want the bankruptcy court to relieve most of the debt, based on the failure of the life-insurance scheme. Star argues that the church can pay what it owes because the loan also was backed by real estate, which the bank values at $2.4 million.

The church’s attorney, David Kleiman at Benesch Friedlander Coplan & Aronoff LLP, proposed an exit plan that calls for the church to pay Star $507,000, plus interest, over 25 years. The remainder of the debt, $1.5 million, would be secured by the life insurance policies.

Star’s objection, filed Oct. 15, doesn’t dispute that the bank promoted the lifeinsurance financing, but argues the policies can’t serve as collateral.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Contact ex-husband to help get ahold of son Dear Annie: My son's father, "Joe," and I divorced when "Bobby" was very young. Joe remarried and moved to another state. When Bobby was 11, I thought it best for him to go live with his dad so he could have a male role model. Joe was always a good father, just a lousy husband.

Despite financial hardship, I eventually moved to the same state. The problem was Joe's wife.

She did everything possible to interfere with my relationship with Bobby, including intercepting phone messages and opening his mail, not giving my name to the school as an emergency contact, giving me false information about Bobby's schedule, and blatantly lying to Joe about everything she and I discussed. Worse, she told Bobby I didn't care about him.

The last time I heard Bobby's voice was a message he left on Mother's Day five years ago. The last time I saw him was at his high school graduation, after which he and his father and stepmother moved to another state where Bobby started college. I have tried to contact him multiple times, to no avail.

I believe he has since discovered the truth, but has not yet called me. At this point, I think he's just embarrassed. But I need him to know something: There is nothing he could do or say that would make me love him less. He is my son. I love him and I miss him.

There will be no blame. All he has to do is walk through the front door and say, "Mom, what's for dinner?" — Waiting Patiently Dear Waiting: We hope he sees this and will do just that.

Meanwhile, please call Joe directly and ask him to tell Bobby that you love him and miss him.

Dear Annie: For anyone who is having difficulty with their student loans, please tell them to check the website ibrinfo.org. It lets you know your rights and explains the ways to lower payments. It also informs debtors about legislation that affects them. — Jacksonville, Fla. Dear Jacksonville: Thank you for this useful information. It's not for everyone, but it's worth looking into.

Dear Annie: "Tired in Toutle" was frustrated with dinner guests who stay too long. The best line I've ever heard to get guests to leave is: "Come on, Mother, let's go to bed so these nice folks can go home" — Sarasota, Fla. Dear Sarasota: That line was the one the vast majority of our readers suggested. We like it.

Here's more: From Florida: Years ago, we had a party, and a few guests were still hanging around at 4 a.m. My husband and I kept looking at each other wondering how to get them to leave. He disappeared and came out brushing his teeth. Hint taken and they left. We laughed about it for a long time.

Boston: Perhaps instead of two hours of conversation before dinner, she should try a half-hour of pre-dinner talk, allowing time for a relaxed and enjoyable conversation afterward. Most people are not inclined to "eat and run." In fact, the guests may want to leave as badly as the hostess seems to want them to, but leaving immediately after dinner seems rude.

New York: We have a friend who, when it's time to leave, takes off her earrings. This has always been a joke among her friends, but it's effective.

Texas: She should do like my late grandfather. If someone stayed past Grandpa's bedtime, he would take off his shoes and tell my grandmother, "If they're gonna be here all night, better make up a pallet for them on the floor." That usually made the guests leave within a few minutes.

Dear Readers: Don't forget to set your clocks back one hour before you go to bed tonight, and replace the batteries in your smoke alarms.

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.

YESTERDAY’S SOLUTION:

HINTS FROM HELOISE

Here’s a few supplies for the next stage of life Dear Heloise: When my nephew graduated from high school and I knew he was going to college, I showed up at the party with a fishing tackle box. (He did not like to fish.)

In the tackle box, I had a hammer, several sizes of nails, a pair of pliers, a multihead screwdriver, a measuring tape and lots of screws and stick-up hangers. I also had paper clips and various paper fasteners. I threw in a few sewing supplies from my sewing room, too.

When I know there is a graduation coming up, I look for items to put in the next fishing tackle box. It’s a hit every time.

Hints from Heloise Columnist — Diane S., Toronto, Ohio PET PAL Dear Readers: Dave and Denise Harner of Swea City, Iowa, sent a photo of their female yellow Labrador retriever, Nuggie.

In the photo, Nuggie looks like she is winking at the camera. To see Nuggie, visit

www.Heloise.com and click on “Pets.” — Heloise DIRT VERSUS SOIL Dear Heloise: Regarding your tips on starting seedlings: You don’t plant seeds in dirt; you plant them in SOIL. Dirt is the stuff you get on your hands or clothes, and that you use soap and water to get rid of! — Julian H., via email This is a great point, Julian!

Most of us refer to them as one and the same, but technically there is a difference.

Soil is the earth and what we walk on. Dirt is what’s scooped up, or all that stuff on our shoes and hands. When planting seedlings, it is best to

first place the small sprouts in planters or peat pots filled with nutrient-rich “dirt” before transplanting them into the ground or soil. Happy gardening! — Heloise MAKEUP FOUNDATION Dear Heloise: I use a foundation that is dispensed with a pump. When it won’t pump anymore, there’s still a LOT of product in the bottle. I remove the pump tube and instead reach in with a cotton swab and apply with my fingertips from that.

I get at least another week of makeup from the “empty” container. — Cheryl B., via email

HOROSCOPE

BY FRANCES DRAKE For Sunday, Nov. 4, 2012 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) This is an excellent day to entertain at home or hang out on your own where you live and enjoy being alive. Don’t take on big projects. This is a good day to kick back and relax.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) All your communication with others will be from the gut. You’ll go with your feelings more than your intellect today. (It happens.)

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Be careful how you handle your money today. This is not a good day to shop for anything except food. Be cautious about impulse purchases. (Keep your receipts.)

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) The Moon is in your sign today, which makes you more emotional. Keep this in mind in case you feel yourself going overboard. But it’s a great day to party!

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) You’ll enjoy working alone or behind the scenes. Actually, you have a need to withdraw and enjoy your privacy today.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Don’t be influenced by discussions with a female acquaintance. Your first reaction might not be as accurate. Wait until tomorrow to draw your conclusions.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Others notice you today, especially bosses, parents and people in authority. In fact, details about your personal life will be evident. Be aware of this.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) This is the kind of day where you want to get outta Dodge. You want to escape anywhere, because you need a change of scenery!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Avoid important decisions about inheritances, shared property or anything you share jointly with others.

This is not a good day to sign on the dotted line or make a commitment.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Keep things light in discussions with others. Everything is all over the map, which means it’s not a good day to isolate one thing and agree to it. Just listen.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Even though you might make your todo list today, good luck getting anything done. Your motivation might be there, but the follow-through isn’t. (Go easy on yourself.)

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Do anything that pleases you or gives you pleasure today. This is a perfect day to indulge yourself and your dreams. In particular, enjoy the arts, playful times with children and romantic get-togethers with others.

YOU BORN TODAY You are charming and have a down-to-earth wisdom that others like. But you can arouse controversy because you provoke others with your candor and wit. In the long run, however, you always win others to your side because of your magnetic charisma. At heart, you are generous.

In the year ahead, your primary focus will be on partnerships and close friendships.

TODAY IN HISTORY (AP) — Today is Saturday, Nov. 3, the 308th day of 2012.

There are 58 days left in the year. A reminder: Daylight Saving Time ends Sunday at 2 a.m. local time. Clocks go back one hour.

Today’s Highlight: On Nov. 3, 1992, Democrat Bill Clinton was elected the 42nd president of the United States, defeating President George H.W. Bush. In Illinois, Democrat Carol Moseley-Braun became the first black woman elected to the U.S. Senate.

On this date: In 1911, the Chevrolet Motor Car Co. was founded in Detroit

by Louis Chevrolet and William C. Durant. (The company was acquired by General Motors in 1918.)

In 1936, President Franklin D. Roosevelt won a landslide election victory over Republican challenger Alfred M. “Alf” Landon.

In 1957, the Soviet Union launched Sputnik 2, the second manmade satellite, into orbit

on board was a dog named Laika who was sacrificed in the experiment.

In 1979, five Communist Workers Party members were killed in a clash with heavily armed Ku Klux Klansmen and neo-Nazis during an anti-Klan protest in Greensboro, N.C. In 1986, the Iran-Contra affair began to come to light as Ash-Shiraa, a pro-Syrian Lebanese magazine, first broke the story of U.S. arms sales to Iran.

DUSTIN LYNCH

NEW YORK (AP) — Gazing at her bungalow, swept from its foundation and tossed across the street, Janice Clarkin wondered if help would ever come to this battered island off the coast of Manhattan.

“Do you see anybody here?” she asked, resignation etched on her face. “On the news, the mayor’s congratulating the governor and the governor’s congratulating the mayor. On what?

People died.”

Staten Island was devastated beyond recognition by Superstorm Sandy and suffered the highest death toll of all of New York City’s boroughs, including two young brothers who were swept from their mother’s arms by the swirling sea and drowned. Yet days after the waters receded, residents feel ignored and forgotten.

That sense of isolation is deeply rooted on Staten Island, a tight-knit community that has long felt cut off from the bright lights of Manhattan the city from which the island once tried to secede.

“It’s always been that

way. We’re a forgotten little island,” said Catherine Friscia, who stood with tearfilled eyes across the street from the Atlantic Ocean in front of homes filled with water and where the air smelled like garbage and rotting fish.

“Nobody pays attention to any of us over here.

Nobody.”

In the shadow of the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge, dazed survivors roamed Staten Island’s sand-covered streets this week amid ruined bungalows sagging under the weight of water that rose to the rooftops.

Their contents lay flung in the street: Mud-soaked couches, stuffed animals and mattresses formed towering piles of wreckage.

Boats were tossed like toys into roadways.

Aside from a few fire trucks scattered along the shore, there were no emergency or relief workers in sight. Residents washed their muddy hands with bottled water and handed out sandwiches to neighbors as they sifted through the soggy wreckage of their

homes, searching for anything that could be salvaged.

Spray-painted on the plywood that covered the first floor of one flooded home were the words: “FEMA CALL ME.” Sticking together in the aftermath of the storm has kept Staten Islanders who lost everything from completely falling apart. Selfreliance is in their blood just as the island’s very geography lends itself to a feeling of isolation from the mainland: the only way to get on or off is by car, bus or ferry.

After the storm, residents who had evacuated had to wait until Wednesday to return, when the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge finally reopened to the public.

Most of the deaths were clustered in beachfront neighborhoods exposed to the Atlantic Ocean along the island’s southeastern shore, an area of cinderblock bungalows and condominiums. Many of these homes were built decades ago originally as summer cottages.

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.

TROY DAILY NEWS • WWW..TDN-NET. TROYDAILYNEWS COM .COM WHAT’S AHEAD:

Patrick must get used to ‘old man’ FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — Danica Patrick will have to get used to being called “old man” sometimes.

That’s the phrase Tony Gibson, her new NASCAR Sprint Cup crew chief, uses to refer to drivers he works with, like Mark Martin and Dale Earnhardt Jr., in the past. That’s not likely to change with Patrick.

“It just comes out for some odd reason,” Gibson said Friday. “If I do say that, I am sorry and I don’t mean it. … I’m probably going to say it a few times, but if I do, I’m sorry, forgive me. As long as we are successful, we can call each other what we want to.”

Sitting at a podium with Gibson at Texas, Patrick laughed and said she won’t mind. She doesn’t really care what people call her. “(Former chief) Tony (Eury) Jr. would call me ‘babe’ and things like that on the radio, and he would apologize,” Patrick said.

“I’m like I really don’t care what you call me. I don’t care if you pronounce my name wrong as long as it starts with a ‘D.’” Gibson has been Ryan Newman’s crew chief for Stewart-Haas Racing, but is going to be the chief for the No. 10 Go Daddy Racing Chevrolet when Patrick moves to the Cup Series full-time next season.

They are getting a jump on 2013 by working together her last two races this year, this weekend at Texas Motor Speedway and then at Phoenix.

“We don’t want her to adapt to our setups, we want to adapt to her driving style. These two races will be crucial in gaining a head start on that,” Gibson said. “She has the capabilities of winning races. She’s a winner, so we don’t have to teach her how to win. We just have to make sure that our race team is solid and can comfort her and give her the things she needs to win in the Cup Series.”

Patrick is going into the ninth of 10 Cup races in a partial schedule co-owner Tony Stewart set up to be challenging while getting her some valuable experience. Her best finish was 25th at Chicago.

Jimmie Johnson climbs into his car in the garage area at Texas Motor Speedway during practice for Sunday’s NASCAR Sprint Cup Series auto race Friday in Fort Worth, Texas.

Standing in the way Keselowski blocking Johnson’s chase for No. 6 CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Denny Hamlin has conceded his championship chances, and Clint Bowyer and Kasey Kahne are fading fast.

So what’s stopping Jimmie Johnson from cruising to a sixth NASCAR championship?

Brad Keselowski.

Johnson’s win last weekend at Martinsville pushed him into the points lead with three races remaining in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship. His margin is just two points over Keselowski, who has given no indication he’s not going to fight all the way to the Nov. 18 season finale.

“We like our role is in this Chase,” Keselowski said. “While we aren’t being overlooked by any means, there are many who think that we are still too young of a team to seriously challenge the 48 team. We like it that way. In reality, we are a very good race team that is primed to take this fight right down to the last lap at Homestead-Miami Speedway next

month.”

The next stop is Sunday’s race at Texas Motor Speedway, where Johnson has a statistical edge. The five-time champion won at Texas in 2007 and has 13 top-10 finishes in 18 career starts.

Keselowski has had some challenges there, with a best finish of 14th in eight career starts. He’s led only 34 laps, too. But he had a good car there in April’s long fuelmileage race and has no reason to believe Penske Racing isn’t sending him back with another strong No. 2 Dodge.

“We had an awesome car in April at Texas, probably the best car I’ve ever had there,” he said.

“But fuel issues kept us from challenging for the win. This weekend, I’m expecting to challenge for the win.”

It’s not a must-win situation, largely because Keselowski and crew chief Paul Wolfe salvaged last weekend at Martinsville.

A poor qualifying effort put him 32nd on the starting grid, with Johnson on the pole. Still,

Keselowski found himself in position for a solid finish when the caution waved 23 laps from the finish. He was sixth, with 18 cars on the lead lap, and unsure how strategy might play out.

Keselowski asked Wolfe if he could make the call whether or not to pit instead of leaving the decision to the crew chief.

Wolfe deferred to the driver, who at the last second stayed out as 16 cars headed for pit road. It allowed Keselowski to lead a lap, picking up a bonus point for doing so, and hang on for a sixth-place finish.

Wolfe said he gives his opinion in those situations, but trusts the driver to make the correct call.

“Brad studies the sport, he understands what’s going on and I think there are only a few guys in the garage that do that,” Wolfe said. “I think if you didn’t have a guy that understood what was going on with his race car, I think those calls could be a lot more risky. He understands what’s going on.”

FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — Earnhardt Ganassi Racing is switching engine suppliers, and going away from its namesake company.

The struggling two-car team with Jamie McMurray and Juan Pablo Montoya is making the move from Earnhardt Childress Racing engines next season, when it will instead get engines from Hendrick Motorsports.

Richard Childress said Friday that he has no plans to change the name of the engine program that is housed at his team’s shop. He says it’s still a strong operation and that there will be new customers for next year that will be announced later.

Earnhardt Childress Racing was formed when Richard Childress Racing merged its engine-building operation with Dale Earnhardt Inc.’s Sprint Cup team in 2007. DEI then merged with Chip Ganassi Racing in late 2008 and changed its team name.

Fire at Marlin’s destroys 3 cars COLUMBIA, Tenn.

(AP) — A fire has destroyed three race cars and caused hundreds of thousands of dollars in damage at a garage in Middle Tennessee owned by retired NASCAR driver Sterling Marlin.

Marlin told The Daily Herald in Columbia that the fire that started Friday morning destroyed his 2,500-square-foot garage in Maury County and three cars that belonged to his son-inlaw, Michael House.

He said he believed that there was a leak on a propane heater and welding sparks ignited the fire. A shop worker who was inside the garage when the fire stared was treated at the scene for minor injuries.

Sprint Cup leader Johnson on top of the pole again FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — Jimmie Johnson finished his qualifying run at Texas with the fastest lap on the day, then stayed in his car while waiting to see if anybody would knock him off the pole.

It turned out the same way it did a week earlier in Martinsville.

When the Sprint Cup points leader finally climbed out of the cockpit of his No. 48 Lowe’s Chevrolet more than 30 minutes later Friday, after Brad

Keselowski and the rest of the field failed to top his lap of 191.076 mph, he was the polesitter for the second week in a row.

“I was ready to get out, and my engine tuner stuck his head in and said, ‘Hey, man, you’re going to be sitting here a long time this week,’” Johnson said. “Oh yeah, that’s right. I’m not superstitious, but I’ll sit here. … It doesn’t mean anything, but at this point in the season, you have to pull out all of the stops.”

Johnson’s 29th career pole is his first at Texas, where he was the runnerup in April.

With his win from the pole at Martinsville, Johnson regained the series points lead, by two over Keselowski.

Johnson was the 20th car on the track for Texas qualifying.

“It was a while-knuckle lap. I can say I didn’t leave anything on the table with that one,” Johnson said. “A couple of opportunities to

kind of lose control there, but staying on the throttle definitely kept the car pointed in the right direction and blasted off a great lap.”

Keselowski was the 44th of 46 drivers who did qualifying runs. His lap of 189.534 mph was good for the eighth spot. He also qualified eighth his last two races at the 1-mile highbanked track, where he has never had a top-10 finish.

It was the best qualifying effort for Keselowski since

the 12-driver championship chase started two months ago. He’s trying to win the first Sprint Cup championship for Roger Penske.

“We’re in strong position to control our own destiny as far as the Chase is concerned and having a shot at winning it,” Keselowski said. “That’s really about all you can ask. Certainly you’d like to have a big lead, but that’s not very realistic when you’re racing the best and competing against the best.”

M-U ‘D’ big in 46-14 win over Westfall Bulldogs run for 483 yards in first-round playoff rout of No. 2 seeded Mustangs

BY JOSH BROWN Sports Editor jbrown@tdnpublishing.com Much maligned through the early part of the season, the Milton-Union defense wanted to make sure everyone knew that it was still a force to be reckoned with.

Williamsport Westfall, particularly quarterback Trent Williamson, found out the hard way.

The Bulldogs (9-2) held the high-octane Mustang offense to a mere 63 first-half yards, giving the Milton-Union offense prime field position time and again — which Tyler Brown and company made short work of, piling up 483 yards on the ground in a dominant 46-14 victory in the

Division IV Region 16 regional quarterfinal round Friday night at Westfall.

“The defense saved its best game for the playoffs,” MiltonUnion coach Bret Pearce said.

“Our defensive line and linebackers put pressure on their quarterback all night long, and our defensive backs broke on the ball and made big plays.

“Our offense may have piled up a lot of yards, but I think the defense gets the credit for this win.”

Even with his 236 yards and three touchdowns on 19 carries, Brown concurred.

“It was all our defense,” the senior Bulldogs running back said. “We had some troubles early in the year, but we’ve been coming out and busting people in

WILLIAMSPORT the mouth. Coach really preached hitting hard and wrapping up, and that’s what we did.”

The Bulldogs scored the first four times they touched the football — even recovering from having a touchdown called back by a penalty.

After stuffing the Mustangs on the game’s opening possession, Milton-Union nearly blocked the punt, forcing the punter instead to kick it straight up in the air for a 6-yard punt and giving the Bulldogs the ball on the Westfall 22. David Karns appeared to score a 10-yard touchdown on the second play of the drive, but a holding call pushed the Bulldogs back to the 20 instead.

That didn’t matter, though, as two plays later Brown scored a 1yard touchdown to put the

Bulldogs on top 7-0.

After another three-and-out, Milton-Union went 70 yards in six plays, with Joe Thoele capping off the drive on a 29-yard carry. The extra point was blocked, though, and the Bulldogs led 13-0.

Another three-and-out gave the Bulldogs another short field to work with, and a 28-yard carry by Brown along with a facemask tacked on at the end set up a 7-yard touchdown by Brown, making it 19-0. Then the defense came through again, this time forcing a turnover on a fumble. An unsportsmanlike conduct call on the Mustangs on the play gave the Bulldogs the ball at the 13, and two carries by Brown later, it was 26-0 Milton-Union before the first quarter even ended.

Buckeyes, Illini set for battle To outside observers, it looks like a mismatch.

No. 6 Ohio State is 10-0, can clinch a share of the title in its Big Ten division and can keep alive any flickering hopes of being the last unbeaten standing when the final poll votes are cast.

Illinois (2-6) has lost its last five games and in conference play is 0-4 this year with a 10-game losing skid. With problems on both sides of the ball, the Illini are four-touchdown underdogs.

Manning tries to stay perfect vs. Bengals

LSU, Alabama to play for high stakes OK, so maybe it’s not the Game of the Century.

No disputing it’s the game of the year.

Nothing new about that.

See Page 18.

CINCINNATI (AP) — Bengals coach Marvin Lewis spent the last day of his bye weekend watching NFL games on television and getting a read on how the rest of the league is doing.

His conclusion?

“You have to play good at quarterback in order to win,” Lewis said. “That stands out if you look at each and every game.

You have to take care of the ball on offense and play efficient at quarterback. Turnovers beat you and if you don’t make plays from that position, you have a hard time.”

It wasn’t so much an epiphany as a foretelling. On

Sunday, the Bengals (3-4) bring a struggling quarterback Andy Dalton and his interception streak into a pivotal game against one of the NFL’s best of all time.

Peyton Manning is back to playing at a best-ever level, leading the Denver Broncos (4-3) to the top of the AFC West.

Manning has passed for at least 300 yards and three touchdowns in each of his last four games, the first to do so since Steve Young in 1998. He’s thrown for at least 300 yards in his last five games, matching his personal best from 2009 with Indianapolis.

The Colts cut their ties with

Manning after a neck injury raised doubts about whether he could ever play at the same level again. No questioning that now.

“It’s hard to say that he’s not,” said Bengals cornerback Leon Hall, who watched the Broncos beat the Saints 34-14 on Sunday night. “He’s been doing well, putting up a lot of good numbers, spreading the ball around to receivers and tight ends, I don’t know how the numbers compare, but as far as how he looks on film, I think he’s pretty damn close.”

The Broncos have scored 37, 21, 35 and 34 points in their last four games, getting a little more comfortable with Manning’s way

of directing things at the line of scrimmage. And Manning has been rounding into form, too, after recovering from his neck problems.

“Well, certainly, it was a lot of unknown before this season,” Manning said. “I think there still is. This is a new team and nobody knew how this team would form chemistry-wise. I didn’t know what my situation would be. I mentioned early on that I’m feeling my way out.

We’re finding out our identity. I think we are still doing that.”

Everyone in Cincinnati knows his identity against the Bengals: Perfect.

Penn St. officials arraigned on new charges HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Two Penn State administrators were arraigned Friday on new accusations they hushed up child sexual abuse allegations against former assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky.

The hearing for Gary Schultz and Tim Curley on charges of endangering the welfare of children, obstruction and conspiracy lasted about 10 minutes in a suburban Harrisburg courtroom.

Bail was set at $50,000.

Afterward, Schultz attorney Tom Farrell talked of the positive things the men have accomplished, along with their co-defendant, former Penn State president Graham Spanier.

“People of this character do not do, have not done

what they’re charged with,” Farrell said.

Curley and Schultz shook hands and greeted each other warmly inside the courtroom but said little during the proceeding, after which they drove away to be fingerprinted.

Spanier has been out of state at a relative’s funeral and will be arraigned on Wednesday, the judge said.

The three men were accused in a withering 39page grand jury report that was made public Thursday of conspiring to conceal complaints about Sandusky, which gave him time and access to molest more boys before his arrest nearly a year ago.

Prosecutors alleged the men decided not to alert

police or child welfare authorities after getting a 2001 report of Sandusky sexually abusing a boy in a team shower.

Attorney General Linda Kelly said at a Capitol news conference Thursday that all three “knowingly testified falsely and failed to provide important information and evidence.”

Spanier is charged with perjury, obstruction, endangering the welfare of children, failure to properly report suspected abuse and conspiracy. Curley and Schultz were first charged a year ago, with perjury and failure to report abuse. Trial on those counts is scheduled for January.

Spanier’s lawyers asserted his innocence and

described the new charges as an attempt by Gov. Tom Corbett to divert attention from the three-year Sandusky investigation that began under his watch as attorney general.

Corbett spokesman Kevin Harley called the defense statement the “ranting of a man who has just been indicted for covering up for a convicted pedophile.”

Sandusky, who spent decades on the Penn State football staff and was defensive coordinator during two national championship seasons, was convicted in June of sexually abusing 10 boys over 15 years. He has maintained his innocence and is serving a 30- to 60-year prison sentence.

Curley, 58, is the athletic

director on leave while he serves out the last year of his contract. Schultz, 63, has retired as vice president for business and finance.

In a pair of pretrial motions filed this week regarding their earlier charges, Curley and Schultz both focused on the role played by Cynthia Baldwin, the university’s then-chief counsel who accompanied them to their grand jury appearances. They argued charges should be dismissed, or grand jury testimony suppressed, because they believed Baldwin was representing them.

Baldwin’s grand jury testimony was a key piece of the evidence used to support the new charges.

“We were stunned, we

were flabbergasted that she would testify against our clients,” said Curley’s lawyer, Caroline Roberto.

Farrell said Baldwin, a former state Supreme Court justice, “has betrayed her clients, her profession and testified falsely.”

Baldwin’s lawyer Charles De Monaco referred a reporter to a statement issued this summer in which he defended her, saying she “at all times fulfilled her obligations to the university and its agents.”

Spanier, 64, of State College, had been university president for 16 years when he was forced out after Sandusky’s November 2011 arrest. He remains a faculty member but was placed on paid leave Thursday.

Stakes high for OSU Buckeyes can clinch share of Big Ten title with win

Alabama quarterback AJ McCarron (10) signals a play during the first half of an NCAA college football game against Mississippi State Oct. 27 at Bryant-Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa, Ala.

LSU, Alabama battle in big SEC showdown BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — OK, so maybe it’s not the Game of the Century.

No disputing it’s the game of the year.

Nothing new about that.

Alabama-LSU has undoubtedly become the greatest rivalry in college supplanting football, Michigan-Ohio State, Florida-Florida State and any of those other annual showdowns with historic overtones. Last year, these Southeastern Conference powerhouses met twice once with the Crimson Tide ranked No. 1 and the Tigers No. 2, the second time with the roles reversed.

Another epic showdown looms Saturday night in Tiger Stadium.

Top-ranked Alabama (8-0, 5-0 SEC) is looking to stay on course for its second straight national title, but a familiar foe No. 5 LSU stands in the way.

“You’ve got your

Michigan-Ohio States and stuff like that, but I feel like those games are not what they used to be,” LSU linebacker Kevin Minter said. “This is the gusto right here.”

The teams have long been SEC rivals, but it was a largely overlooked game on the national stage. That all changed in 2007, when former LSU coach Nick Saban, after a brief stint in the NFL, returned to the college game at Alabama, of all places.

Suddenly, this series took on a whole new level of nastiness and vitriol.

“It has definitely grown,” LSU safety Eric Reid said. “I grew up watching LSU-Bama, and it was always a good game, but since I got here it’s definitely gotten way bigger. Both of our teams have developed and become very good football teams. Whenever we play each other, everybody expects a big game. We can’t disappoint them.”

“We understand Ohio State is a good football team,” he said. “The only thing we can control is what we do. Those are the things that we talk about every day that we step there on the practice field or in the meeting rooms — how can you improve yourself today?

That’s what we ask our players to do.”

The Illini figure if they can put things together for a change it just might be enough. After all, Illinois has won seven of the last 11

meetings at Ohio Stadium.

“They’re undefeated so we’re going to have to go up there and play our best game,” Illini defensive tackle Akeem Spence said. “We can’t make stupid penalties, we can’t turn the ball over and we can’t give up big plays. I think if we do that, we can slow them down.”

All week, Ohio State’s coaches have been showing clips of Illinois highlights, stressing how talented the Illini are rather than how poorly they have been playing. They are last in the Big

Ten in most offensive and return categories.

The point is trying to get the Buckeyes to not look past the Illini to the bye week, to not look ahead them to the upcoming battles at Wisconsin and at home against rival Michigan to close out the season.

“That’s everybody’s mindset, that we can’t be complacent or bad things will happen,” Ohio State left tackle Jack Mewhort said. “I think everybody knows that.”

COLUMBUS (AP) — To outside observers, it looks like a mismatch.

No. 6 Ohio State is 10-0, can clinch a share of the title in its Big Ten division and can keep alive any flickering hopes of being the last unbeaten standing when the final poll votes are cast.

Illinois (2-6) has lost its last five games and in conference play is 0-4 this year with a 10-game losing skid.

With problems on both sides of the ball, the Illini are four-touchdown underdogs.

For both teams, the opponent isn’t as important as how each team plays.

The Buckeyes’ Urban Meyer doesn’t want any letup as his team cruises into its bye week before two last, pivotal games to end the season.

“Here’s the thing: How good are we?” Meyer said.

“That’s the question to ask ourselves.”

The Buckeyes, despite their flawless record, have been less than stellar at times. They’ve played sporadically all year on both offense and defense, surrendering big points and yardage (a 42-39 win over Indiana) and at other times gutting out a low-scoring struggle (17-16 at Michigan State).

As the wins have added up, the Buckeyes say they don’t feel any weight of the expectations.

“No pressure, no pressure. We felt we could win every game, we said it at the beginning of the season, So why not? Why give up?

Why stop right now?” cornerback Bradley Roby said.

“There’s no pressure. We’re putting pressure on ourselves, but there’s no pressure from the outside.”

It’s a different kind of pressure at Illinois. Coach Tim Beckman, a former Meyer assistant, is seeking a sign of hope in an other-

NYC Marathon called due to storm damage NEW YORK (AP) — Under growing pressure with thousands still shivering from Sandy, the New York City Marathon was canceled Friday by Mayor Michael Bloomberg after mounting criticism that this was not the time for a race.

With the death toll in the city at 39 and power not yet fully restored, many New Yorkers had recoiled at the prospect of police officers being assigned to protect a marathon, storm victims being evicted from hotels to make way for runners, and big generators humming along at the finishline tents in Central Park.

Around 47,500 runners 30,000 of them from outside New York had been expected to take part in the 26.2-mile event Sunday, with more than 1

million spectators usually lining the route. The world’s largest marathon had been scheduled to start in Staten Island, one of the storm’s hardest-hit places.

Bloomberg had pressed ahead with plans to run the marathon on schedule, but opposition intensified quickly Friday afternoon from the city comptroller, the Manhattan borough president and sanitation workers unhappy that they had volunteered to help storm victims but were assigned to the race instead.

Finally, about three hours later, the mayor relented.

“We would not want a cloud to hang over the race or its participants, and so we have decided to cancel it,” Bloomberg said in a statement. “We can-

not allow a controversy over an athletic event even one as meaningful as this to distract attention away from all the critically important work that is being done to recover from the storm and get our city back on track.”

City and race officials considered several alternatives: a modified course, postponement or an elite runners-only race. But they decided cancellation was the best option.

Organizers will donate various items that had been brought in for the race to relief efforts, from food, blankets and portable toilets to generators already set up on Staten Island.

The cancellation means there won’t be another NYC Marathon until next year.

Bloomberg called the

marathon an “integral part of New York City’s life for 40 years” and “an event tens of thousands of New Yorkers participate in and millions more watch.”

He still insisted that holding the race would not have required diverting resources from the recovery effort. But he said he understood the level of friction.

“It is clear it that it has become the source of controversy and division,” Bloomberg said. “The marathon has always brought our city together and inspired us with stories of courage and determination.

Bloomberg’s decision came just a day after he appealed to the grit and resiliency of New Yorkers, saying, “This city is a city where we have to go on.”

■ High School Football

Bulldogs ■ CONTINUED FROM 17 total of negative-4 yards of offense, and it took a 75yard kickoff return that led to a 3-yard score on the ground by Williamson to get the Mustangs on the board five seconds before the end of the first.

Milton-Union answered two possessions later, going 65 yards in only five plays and finishing it off with an 18-yard score by Karns to make it 33-7 at halftime. Brown — who has played through countless injuries this season —

already had 147 yards on 14 carries by that point.

“I know it sounds silly, but it’s just my senior year,” Brown said. “I know I have to bust my butt for the team.”

“He’s just such a great leader, and he has so many tools,” Pearce said of Brown. “We can use him in so many different ways. We can line him up at fullback and use his power, or we can put him in the slot and use his speed.”

But it’s using his teamfirst mentality that makes

the Bulldogs so dangerous.

“He’s as good a blocker as he is a runner,” Pearce said. “He really takes joy in clearing the way for everyone else, too.”

And everyone else had big games as a result.

Thoele carried the ball 12 times for 115 yards, including an icing-on-thecake 47-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter that proved to be the final score of the game. Karns added 96 yards and two touchdowns and Brad Stine had 48 yards on five

carries.

Williamson played better in the second half, though, going 10 for 14 for 133 yards in the third quarter alone — more than double the Mustangs’ total offensive output in the first half. It all led to only one score, though, thanks to the Bulldogs defense, and Westfall never really recovered from the pummeling the Bulldogs dished out in the first quarter.

Williamson finished the night 26 for 45 for 200

Cleveland activates DT Phil Taylor

Red Devils

CLEVELAND (AP) — The Browns’ defense got a whole lot bigger, and a whole lot healthier.

Massive tackle Phil Taylor was activated Friday from the physically-unable-to-perform list and will play Sunday against Baltimore.

It will be Taylor’s season debut after missing Cleveland’s first eight games after undergoing surgery on a torn chest muscle he hurt lifting weights in May. The 335pounder practiced all week and coach Pat Shurmur said Friday that Taylor’s “ready to go” against the Ravens.

Taylor’s return will help offset the loss of underrated tackle Ahtyba Rubin, who will miss his second game in a row with a calf injury.

A first-round pick in 2011, Taylor made 16 starts as a rookie in 2011

and made 59 tackles and four sacks. The Browns have missed his size inside, where they’ve had to use rookies Billy Winn and John Hughes.

“It’s great to have Phil back,” defensive coordinator Dick Jauron said.

“As of now, he’ll certainly rotate into the game.

We’ll see how much he can go. We don’t want to overdo it. He’s had two weeks of work and it’s been a long season. He’ll definitely work in, and we’re really excited about seeing him back.”

Also, the Browns placed Brian Sanford on injured reserve. He spent the first seven weeks on the club’s practice squad, before playing last week in a win over San Diego.

Defensive lineman Ronnie Cameron was promoted from the practice squad to the active roster.

Bulls rout Cavs CLEVELAND (AP) — Richard Hamilton and Carlos Boozer each scored 19 points and the Chicago Bulls routed the Cleveland Cavaliers 11586 on Friday night.

Nate Robinson added 16 points and 12 assists for the Bulls, who led the entire game after Boozer hit a jumper 23 seconds in. Chicago made 14 of 19 from the field in the first quarter and led 36-16

with 10:34 remaining in the second.

The Bulls shot 63.8 percent from the field for the game, hitting 44 of 69 shots.

The Cavaliers, who defeated Washington in their opener, struggled on both ends of the floor.

Kyrie Irving had 15 points but Cleveland shot 32 of 79 from the field (41 percent) and committed 17 turnovers.

■ High School Football

Bradford ■ CONTINUED FROM 17 the extra point being no good.

The score remained 6-0 until 4:11 left in the first quarter when Bradford’s James Canan broke open a 57-yard touchdown run on the Railroaders’ third possession of the game to tie the score at 6-6.

Bradford was unable to take the lead, however, as Marion Local blocked the extra point attempt.

Marion Local regained the lead on its next drive, going 67 yards on seven plays with Goettemoeller scoring from 5 yards out to make it 13-6. Marion Local had a big second quarter, beginning with a 2-yard touchdown run by Goettemoeller to make it 20-6.

After a Bradford fumble at its own 13-yard line, the Flyers scored to go up 27-6. On Marion Local’s next possession, it only took the Flyers two plays to go 45 yards with quarterback Adam Berkte throwing a 28-yard touchdown pass to Hunter Wilker to make it 34-6.

After stopping Bradford again, Marion Local got the ball back with less than 30 seconds left in the half. But that was enough time for the

Flyers as Bertke threw a 40-yard touchdown pass to Troy Homan to make it 41-6 going into halftime.

With backup quarterback Dustin Rethman in for Marion Local, the Flyers drove 55 yards on their first possession of the third quarter.

Rethman found Wilker for a 24-yard touchdown pass, and Marion Local led Bradford 47-6.

With 3:12 left in the third quarter, Brandon Wysong threw a 90-yard touchdown pass to Dallas Cassel to get Bradford on the scoreboard again and make it 47-13.

The Railroaders then scored on their next drive, this time with Wysong finding Corey Rench for a 9-yard touchdown pass to make it 47-19.

Marion Local responded on the ensuing drive with a 17-yard screen pass from Rethman to Charlie Fortman going for a touchdown to make it 53-19.

Bradford then went 70 yards on its next possession, with Wysong scoring on a 5-yard run. Canan added the two-point conversion on a run to make it 53-27 as the Railroaders ended their season.

■ CONTINUED FROM 17 year,” Tippecanoe coach Charlie Burgbacher said.

“Everyone is disappointed.

We were expecting more, the kids were expecting more out of it, but we had some unfortunate things happen.”

Turpin opened up the game with an 25-yard option run by their quarterback Connor Jansen.

That was just his opening act.

Jansen then found his receiver for an apparent touchdown, only to have it taken back by a holding penalty. Jansen then ran the ball twice to get the ball to the one-yard line. His running back Ryan Millikan capped off the quick scoring drive and gave the Spartans a 6-0 lead after the missed extra-point.

Tippecanoe was unable to answer all night as they struggled offensively, only tallying one first down in the first half — compared to 11 for Turpin.

After the Red Devils went three-and-out on their first drive, Turpin’s offense appeared to have some trouble moving the ball. Another holding penalty negated a big play, and a sack set up a third-and-31 for the Spartans.

Enter Connor Jansen.

Jansen found Booby Calder open along the right side for a 33-yard first down.

Jansen then ran the ball 12yards down to the Tippecanoe six-yard line. A six-yard loss by Millikan had Turpin 12-yards away from the end zone. Jensen threw to JR Stoll who scampered in for six. A two-point attempt failed, giving Tippecanoe a 12-0 deficit.

“We had a bad quarter and dug ourselves into a big hole,” Burgbacher said.

“That’s tough to do when you’re playing against a good football team.”

Jansen scored a touchdown on a one-yard run to open up the second quarter and give Turpin a 19-0 lead.

On their next drive, Millikan scored from a yard out to make the score 26-0— set up by a 59-yard pass from Jansen to Stoll.

“A decent threat isn’t a good description (of

yards, but the Bulldogs intercepted him three times – twice on consecutive plays in the fourth quarter.

Trevor Klosterman picked off one pass but lost a fumble on the return, only to have Kenton Dickison snatch a ball tipped in the air on the next play. Sam Niswonger added a pick in the first half, as well, and Williamson was sacked five times in the game.

The win was particularly sweet for Brown, who still remembers last year’s

loss to Waynesville in the opening round.

“Oh, this feels about 100 times better,” Brown said. “Last year’s team had a lot of heart. But this team has a lot of heart and athleticism and gets the job done.”

“This whole senior class, they don’t play for themselves. They play for each other,” Pearce said.

“And I think it shows.”

And the Bulldogs will get the chance to show it again next week as a result.

Jansen),” Burgbacher said.

“They came up with some big plays and they had more bullets than we did. We came up with a few but we just didn’t get enough of them.”

With six minutes remaining in the half, the Red Devils were finally able to get a first down when quarterback Ben Hughes rolled right and threw to Nick Fischer for a 47-yard completion. Unable to muster any more offense on the drive, Tippecanoe was forced to kick a field goal.

Taylor Clark was able to put the Red Devils’ only three points on the board with his 35-yard field goal.

Turpin — ranked No. 1 in the Division II Ohio AP Poll — was just too much for the Red Devils on a night where they couldn’t get a big play.

“Our kids played hard,” Burgbacher said. “The second half our kids came back out and played.”

The Red Devils opened up the half with good field position, but a fumble quickly ended that opportunity.

Tippecanoe quarterback Ben Hughes is sacked by a Turpin player Friday night.

Tippecanoe was able to keep Turpin out of the end zone in the second half, and limited them to a 36-yard field goal attempt that was blocked. The offense just couldn’t capitalize. Take away a 29-yard run by Jacob Hall and Tippecanoe didn’t have a play go for more than seven yards in the second half.

While it is a bitter one to swallow, Tippecanoe continued its playoff streak —this

is their eighth straight year in the postseason and second since joining Division II. Turpin and Tippecanoe met last season in the opening round of the playoffs and Tippecanoe — like this year — fell to the Spartans.

Turpin advances to the Region 8 semifinals and will take on either Franklin or Cincinnati Northwest.

For the Red Devils, it is time to prepare for next season.

NHL cancels Winter Classic ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) — The NHL has canceled the 2013 Winter Classic at Michigan Stadium.

The signature event between the Detroit Red Wings and Toronto Maple Leafs, is the latest casualty from the labor dispute that has put the season on hold, a person familiar with the sit-

uation told The Associated Press on Friday. The person, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the league had not yet announced the move, also said the NHL will schedule its next Winter Classic at the iconic stadium that seats more than 100,000 people.

There have been no labor

negotiations since Oct. 18, when the players’ union countered a league offer with three proposals. Those were all quickly rejected by the NHL. Since then, a leagueimposed deadline to play a full season has passed, and the NHL cancelled all games through Nov. 30.

Detroit and Toronto, two

of the league’s Original Six teams, were scheduled to play outdoors on Jan. 1 at the stadium known as the Big House and the league was hoping the matchup would break the world record for hockey attendance. Michigan and Michigan State’s hockey teams drew a record 104,173 fans in 2010.

He’s avoided sacks by getting rid of the ball quickly, but the coaches have stresses holding onto it a bit longer to extend plays.

And, three days after watching other NFL quarterbacks on television, Lewis challenged his own to become more of a leader, along with middle linebacker Rey Maualuga. As a rookie last season, Dalton let the veterans and the coaches handle issues with

the offense.

Lewis wants his quarterback to start asserting himself.

“We want Andy to take control of the football team,” Lewis said. “That’s the thing. A year ago everything was new, and now he has an understanding of everything he needs to do. Now, let’s go do it and let’s be great at it and let’s get the other guys to do their jobs even better.”

Bengals ■ CONTINUED FROM 17 Manning is 7-0 career against the Bengals with 17 touchdowns, only three interceptions and a 107 passer rating. He’s thrown for at least three touchdowns in four of the seven games, including a four-TD game in 2006.

Cincinnati is one of seven teams that have never beaten him. The Bengals are getting him at close to his best again.

“I think what he’s done has been remarkable,” coach John Fox said. “He’s continuing to rehab every day. I don’t know that he’s all the way back, but he’s well on his way for sure.”

The Bengals have concerns about their own quarterback. Dalton has thrown an interception in every game this season and in eight straight overall, including a playoff loss to the Texans last season.
