Ohio to decide 3 issues Voters will head to polls after heated fall campaign COLUMBUS (AP) — A clash of political philosophies will play out at Ohio’s ballot box this fall in questions concerning public employee unions and a federal health-insurance mandate.

Labor unions and their Democratic allies have launched a multi-million-dollar effort to repeal a bill lawmakers passed this spring limiting the collective bargaining abilities of 350,000 government workers around the state, a measure backed by Republican Gov. John Kasich as a way to contain costs.

Tea party groups, joined by Republicans, are pushing a consti-

Starlight Players kick off season The Edison Community College Stagelight Players is kicking off its fall performance in a mysterious fashion at the Edison Theater with a production of “Sherlock Holmes and the Case of the Jersey Lily.” The play pits Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s fictional sleuths Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson against nemesis Professor Moriarty in a case that involves the British royalty, famed Victorian actress Lillie Langtry and the wit and larger-than-life presence of Oscar Wilde.

t u t i o n a l amendment that would prohibit government from requiring Ohioans to buy health insurance, a backlash a g a i n s t President Barack Obama’s federal health care overhaul.

The two campaigns raise sweeping themes — of class equity, the roles of government, labor unions and taxpayers, and America’s partisan divide.

It is an unusually intense offyear election that also includes a third ballot question. Issue 1, endorsed by the Ohio State Bar Association, would increase the age limit for judges from 70 to 75.

On the two sides of Issue 2, the collective bargaining battle, are Building a Better Ohio, a businessbacked group defending the law, and We Are Ohio, the labor-backed coalition fighting it.

According to the latest filings, We Are Ohio had collected nearly $7 million in campaign cash and other contributions. Better Ohio is raising money through a nonprofit arm that’s not required to report

its donors, but the campaign says it will publicize donors at a later date. Experts have projected the combined spending of both sides could exceed $33 million, the amount spent in Ohio’s 2010 governor’s race.

The collective bargaining question places the entire law known as Senate Bill 5 before voters and allows them to vote yes to keep it, or no to reject it.

At a hefty 304 pages, the measure makes significant changes to Ohio law governing public workers, now considered the strongest sector of organized labor nationally. More than 36 percent of U.S.

STATE ISSUES AT A GLANCE

public workers were unionized in 2010, compared to 6.9 percent of private workers, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The bill was introduced Feb. 1 and was signed into law March 31, after protests that packed the Ohio Statehouse.

The law bans strikes, scraps binding arbitration, and eliminates the ability of unions representing teachers, police, firefighters, state employees and other public workers to bargain for sick pay and pension benefits. Employees would be required to contribute at least 10 percent toward their pensions and 15 percent toward their health insurance, and employers would be prohibited from picking up any pension costs — a practice that cost them $2.9 billion in 2009.

Unions could still bargain for wages, hours, terms and conditions and, in some cases, safety equipment.

Building a Better Ohio and We Are Ohio have flooded the airwaves with dueling TV spots as part of their campaigns on Issue 2.

The pro-Issue 2 campaign focuses on the bill giving local governments and school districts the flexibility they need to balance budgets.

Between the lines, that message suggests cities, townships, schools and other public employers have been hamstrung by unionized employees’ demands.

“People are recognizing that we can’t continue down this path and we simply can’t sustain it,” said campaign spokeswoman Connie Wehrkamp. “We’ve gone back to the taxpayers and said do you want to support this levy or that levy, and overwhelmingly they’ve said ‘no.’

Taxpayers have hit the brake.”

The opposition emphasizes the role of public employees — particularly firefighters — in protecting communities, and touts their willingness in recent years to take salary and benefit concessions. State workers, for example, agreed to unpaid furlough days — an effective pay cut — under the state’s last budget.

“SB 5 takes away the rights and

• Issue 1 PROPOSAL: Constitutional amendment to raise age limit for judges from 70 to 75 VOTE: Yes to raise the limit; No to keep the current limit HIGHLIGHTS: State lawmakers sent this issue on the ballot, amid concern that 10 percent of sitting Ohio judges will reach 70 in the next six years.

PRO AND CON: Supporters say longevity and work life have increased since passage of the 40year-old law and older judges have valuable experience; Opponents say age still affects judgment and see no compelling reason to make the change.

PRO AND CON: Supporters say limiting unions will help local governments and school districts save money, and the existing system allows outside arbiters to settle disputes that aren’t always best for taxpayers; opponents say Ohio’s union law has helped government workers move into the middle class, and labor agreements in recent years show the workers are willing to sacrifice in hard times without being forced.

SOURCE — AP Research voices of hardworking Ohioans who have been problem solvers by saving the state and their local communities hundreds of millions of dollars,” said We Are Ohio spokeswoman Melissa Fazekas.

The federal government’s role in health care is being questioned by promoters of Issue 3, the Ohio Health Care Freedom Amendment, which seeks to exempt Ohio from the insurance mandate.

Campaign manager Jeff Longstreth said Ohioans perceive they are less free with each passing day.

“There is a real fear that government is getting too powerful and intruding into different aspects of our lives,” he said.

Opponents of the amendment, including some legal experts, say courts — not voters — will decide whether Ohioans must comply with the health care overhaul’s mandatory health insurance provisions. They warn of unintended consequences from the question’s broad prohibitions against government intervention in the health care system that could hurt Ohio’s ability to enforce related state laws and regulations — such as the requirements involved in providing injured-worker insurance or health care coverage for public university students.

“This is going to clobber a whole bunch of existing laws and regulations that we use to keep our people safe,” said Dale Butland, a

Thespians

spokesman for the liberal think tank Innovation Ohio.

Longstreth pointed to Arizona as an example of a state that has passed a similar amendment without any legal repercussions.

The bar association backs the age increase for judges on grounds that 10 percent of Ohio’s judges — including Ohio Supreme Court justices Paul Pfeifer and Judith Ann Lanzinger — would be forced to retire in the next six years if the change isn’t made. The lawyers’ group says the 40-year-old law should be updated to reflect longer life spans and to retain experienced jurists. Prosecutors oppose the change and say there’s no compelling reason for it.

Imboden agreed with Stapleton and said that while the story line may not have a pin-pointed connection to the audience, there are several underlying references that theatergoers will pick up on.

“It’s got a lot of fun pop culture references, from Starbucks to Jersey Shore and 90210 and Dynasty — depending on where your generation falls there are references there,” Imboden said. “It’s also fun to see the references of the original Shakespeare production mixed in with the pop culture.”

Bethel High School declares the Valedictorian and Salutatorian following the 7th semester of the middle of student’s senior year.

Brandon Pfledderer was edged out of Salutatorian by hundredths of a point after the 7th semester. This young man continued to work hard throughout his senior year and after all grades were in at the end of the school year, Brandon was second in his class. While the Salutatorian was already named and spoke at graduation, we feel Brandon deserved to be recognized for his effort and achievement.

Question: Do you plan on voting next week?

— First Amendment, U.S. Constitution

EDITORIAL ROUNDUP Financial Times, London, on Tunisia’s democracy: On January 14, Tunisians sent shockwaves coursing through the Arab world by ousting their despised dictator, Zine el Abidine Ben Ali. On Oct. 23, with the revolutions it set in train still raging elsewhere, Tunisia has again sent a signal of hope to a troubled region by holding the first election of the Arab spring. The country’s new class of politicians — both the victors and vanquished — must now complete the hat trick by entrenching the habits of democracy in a country that has long been deprived of such freedoms.

Recent elections were a sound start. International observers judged them free and fair. Joyous citizens took part in overwhelming numbers. Just as importantly, the elections were held quickly — just nine months after the fall of the ancien regime. This outcome was by no means guaranteed. In Egypt elections have been postponed, while Libya is only just emerging from eight months of conflict. That Tunisia avoided such pitfalls is a tribute to its people, its politicians, and its admirably restrained military.

Yet even as they celebrate this achievement, As I the country’s new leaders should remember that elections are merely a means to an end.

Kenya’s unprecedented intervention — which has resulted in the killing of 73 insurgents — has the blessing of Somalia’s Western-backed government in Mogadishu. However, by sending troops into southern Somalia, Kenya risks becoming embroiled in its neighbor’s messy civil war, and becoming even more of a target for Islamic terrorists.

The presence of another military actor in the region further complicates the humanitarian crisis and is certain to make the delivery of aid even more challenging.

Tens of thousands of Somalis have died of starvation in the worst famine in 60 years, and the UN predicts that as many as 750,000 could starve to death in the coming months, even with the arrival of the October rains.

Two of those who were kidnapped were Spanish aid workers from the Dadaab refugee camp, in Kenya. The camp, home to 400,000 Somali refugees, is considered to be a recruiting ground for al-Shabaab.

Other foreign interventions in Somalia have ended badly, including the two-year U.S. mission that ended in 1994. The Kenyans would be wise to conduct their operation swiftly, and get out. A political solution to the country’s protracted conflict, and a resolution of the Somali refugee crisis, will pay greater dividends for Kenya in the long run than a sustained military intervention in Somalia.

Vote yes twice for levies To the Editor: Miami East School District residents get the opportunity to vote YES twice for education this fall. Miami East Local and Miami Valley Career Technology Center both have levies on the ballot.

As parents and strong supporters of community activities, we will certainly vote YES for the education of our children.

We have seen the successes of our children at both Miami East and Miami Valley CTC. We want to continue this excellent educational experience that prepares our children for their future education and careers.

We are proud of the programs offered at Miami East and Miami Valley CTC. We feel fortunate to have the opportunity to have our children enrolled in high quality educational programs.

We will be voting YES for two school levies this November. We ask for your support in voting YES to Miami East and YES to the Miami Valley Career Technology Center levies.

DOONESBURY

Sometimes it’s hard not to hover … but I manage The question I have been asked the most the last few weeks wasn’t if I supported this candidate over this one or how do I feel about one issue or the other.

It’s been: Are you moved in yet?

Well, yes, sorta, in a way. Kinda.

Not really.

When one tends to accumulate all one’s possessions into one room, it can be a little overwhelming.

I blame the library.

You see, every time I start digging through mountains of clothes or piles of pictures and reorganizing drawers, I take a break after I feel like I’m not getting anywhere.

So I stop to read a book. You’d think I’d be cleaning or organizing, but I’ve managed to immerse myself in the autobiography of Dolly Parton (read it in two days) or treating myself by reading a few chapters of the Oprah book with her magazine’s short articles.

One of the articles in the book included a piece on “Helicopter Moms.” Now, I’ve caught myself a few times hovering around my son’s homework, making him erase his “sixes” so they didn’t look like zeros or “Gs” but for the most part I try to leave him alone.

I happened to read this article on how mothers were literally driving a few hours to their son’s

Melanie Yingst Troy Daily News Columnist colleges to do their laundry.

Another mother admitted to having her son email her the classes he wanted to take in college and had her schedule them for him.

She did. Her occupation? A college admissions adviser.

As I was sorting my laundry one evening, my mother stopped over to see if I needed any help. As we lined my kitchen cabinets, I shared with her the article I had just read as she drove down the lane (I have a lane!).

“Mom, this mother literally called a college orientation to ask about laundry service. She wanted to know what days and times the laundry service picked up the clothes. The guy had to explain to her that there was washers and dryers on each floor.”

Then I took the opportunity to

— Harold and Amber Furrow Casstown

thank her for teaching me and my twin sister how to operate a washing machine at the age of 12.

“I was tired of seeing all the clean clothes piled up on your floor,” she explained, as she meandered in to the bathroom.

As I handed her a bottle of “Bartender’s Best Friend,” I leaned against the doorway as she started to scour the sink.

“Mom, this one mother called her daughter as she sat in orientation and she put her on speakerphone so she could ask the college adviser about curfews! That’s nuts!” I said. “Wait, you missed a spot.”

Can you tell I love irony? If you want to see real live proof of the “Helicopter Parent” phenomenon, see page 3. Tell me this isn’t an epidemic.

I hate to brag (no I don’t, I love to brag) but the other day, Evan and I went to our new house after school. I had finally gone to the grocery so there was no reason to go into town for a bite to eat or to my mom’s house for a snack.

I watched with a little sense of pride how Evan found the new bottle of ketchup, his “pepperoni” and I helped him locate where the bread would now, and forever, be in a drawer.

I got a little teary-eyed as I watched as he carefully closed the bag of sandwich meat, close the top of the ketchup and returned them to the refrigerator. I watched as he improvised with a magnetic clip to seal the bread up when the twisttie was missing. He’s 7 years-old.

I’m a little proud, what can I say?

Sometimes I feel a little guilty not “hovering” enough and I do find holding myself back from helping at certain times. Yes, I emailed his teacher the other day to make sure he wasn’t hiding papers in his locker (again) and if he happened to bury his report card in the backseat of my car (again). He’s 7 years-old and sneaky, what can I say?

But at least I know that if, for some reason, I’m not around, he can make his own sandwich all by himself.

Then, he went to the fridge to pour himself a glass of milk. It was a full gallon. I just had my carpets cleaned.

Hey, I can at least pour the kid a glass milk for another year or two.

“Twin” Melanie Yingst appears on Fridays in the Troy Daily News.

She’s not a helicopter mom … but sometimes she is like a sinking ship mom.

In 1961, Hubert and Velma moved to the Dayton area.

In 1973, Hubert retired from General Motors, and in 1980, he and Velma moved to Fredericksburg, Texas. Once there, Hubert’s technical abilities were quickly recognized, and he was called on by friends and neighbors to repair their clocks, watches, appliances and electronic equipment. He was always willing to help and found great pleasure in doing so, especially since he could fix anything. Hubert also enjoyed playing “old favorites” on his Gulbransen organ.

In 1999, Hubert’s wife of 59 years, Velma, passed away.

Hubert is survived by his three sons and their spouses: Mike and Susan Magee of Dayton, John and Connie Magee of California, and Butch and Doris Magee of Texas. He is also survived by four grandchildren: Christine Magee, Andrew Magee, Allison Drazsnzak, and Marie Melancon, as well as two great granddaughters, India and Phoebe Drazsnzak, and several nieces and nephews.

Also surviving are five brothers and one sister and their spouses: Galen Magee of Florida, Bob and Alma Magee of Englewood, Miriam Erbaugh of Greenville, Jim and Barbara Magee of Covington, Ralph and Joyce Magee of Bradford, and Don and Dixie Magee of Bradford.

Preceding him in death were his brother, Glenn Magee; and sisters, Mildred Weikert and Alice Haggard.

He called Smoot “one of the most talented guitar players in metal today.”

• Matty Alou Matty Alou, once part of an all-Alou outfield for the San Francisco Giants with brothers Felipe and Jesus, died Thursday in his native Dominican Republic. He was 72.

He died of diabetes complications, according to his former Dominican team, Leones del Escogido. The Giants also confirmed his death and said Alou had been sick for several years with a variety of health issues.

Hall of Famer Orlando Cepeda said he knew his “great friend” had been ailing.

“We roomed together a few times with the Giants,” Cepeda said by phone.

“Very funny guy, hell of a ballplayer. When Matty was playing with the Giants, he was a dead fastball hitter, he could pull anybody, I don’t care how hard they threw.”

A two-time All-Star, Alou became the 1966 National League batting champion with the Pirates when he hit .342. He spent his first six years with San Francisco from 1960-65 and also played for St. Louis, Oakland, the New York Yankees and San

Diego.

“Although he played for six different teams, Matty remained a part of the Giants family as a longtime employee and will be forever linked with his brothers, Felipe and Jesus, as the first all-brother major league outfield, the Giants said.

Alou who worked for a time as an adviser in the Giants’ baseball operations department before his health problems persisted was a career .307 hitter with 31 home runs, 427 RBIs, 1,777 hits and 236 doubles in 15 major league seasons.

“He went to Pittsburgh and switched from a light bat to a heavy bat, and he hit .340 one year,” Cepeda recalled.

The Alou brothers made history in 1963 when they appeared in the same outfield for several games.

Felipe Alou, who managed the Giants for four seasons from 2003-06,

takes pride in how the Alou name has endured in baseball.

“It’s a family legacy,” Felipe said during his time managing the Giants. “The Alou legacy is a legacy in itself. I see all of us together being a force going through this game, and still going. The respect, I’m proud of that, and length of service.”

Leones President Luis Manuel Bonetti added: “Dominican baseball in general and Leones in particular, has lost one of its

most emblematic figures and an extraordinary human being.”

Felipe Alou still believes he cost the Giants a championship in 1962 when he failed to get down a bunt in the ninth inning of Game 7 of the 1962 World Series. It would have moved Matty from first to second. The Giants lost the game 1-0 and the Series to the New York Yankees.

In 2010, San Francisco finally captured the city’s first title since moving west in 1958.

Manager Jack Flanagan and record label Metal Blade said Cory Smoot’s body was discovered Thursday before the bus crossed into Canada on the Richmond, Va.-based band’s tour.

It’s unclear what caused Smoot’s death or how old he was. A person who answered the phone at the Smoot family residence in Richmond declined to comment. Flanagan and Metal Blade’s Kelli Malella, vice president of publicity, said they had no further information to release about Smoot.

Smoot performed since 2002 under the name “Flattus Maximus” with the band known for its comical-

AP MOVIE REVIEWS

TOWER HEIST: This is an ensemble, and a strong one at that, led by Ben Stiller, Alan Alda, Matthew Broderick, Casey Affleck and Tea Leoni.

But Brett Ratner’s blast of an action comedy truly brings out the best in Eddie Murphy, something many of us may have forgotten even existed. Fasttalking, flummoxed and full of false bravado, Murphy gives a performance as a low-level thief that recalls his signature work in the movies that made him a superstar in the mid-1980s — like “48 Hours” and “Beverly Hills Cop.” ”Tower Heist” deflates a bit when Murphy’s not around, but for the most part, Ratner’s movie is slick and crowdpleasing — even more successfully so than his “Rush Hour” films — and it couldn’t be more relevant in exploring the disparity between the haves and have-nots. Stiller stars as Josh, the longtime manager of a luxury high-rise in Manhattan; it’s actually the Trump International Hotel and Tower at Columbus Circle. When penthouse-dwelling financial guru Arthur Shaw is charged with stealing billions from his investors — including the hardworking tower staff — Josh comes up with a plan to steal their money back. Alda plays this Bernard Madoff figure with just the right mix of affability and sleaze. PG-13 for language and sexual content.

The Edison Community College Stagelight Players is kicking off its fall performance in a mysterious fashion at the Edison Theater with a production of “Sherlock Holmes and the Case of the Jersey Lily.”

The play pits Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s fictional sleuths Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson against nemesis Professor Moriarty in a case that involves the British royalty, famed Victorian actress Lillie Langtry and the wit and larger-than-life presence of Oscar Wilde.

A tale of blackmail, intrigue and humor, “Sherlock Holmes and the Case of the Jersey Lily” is a play that has something to appeal to everyone, with plot twists, love trysts and a saber-rattling conclusion that stays true to the spirit of Doyle’s famous works.

Adapted by Katie Forgette from an original script penned by Conan Doyle and William Gillette

A VERY HAROLD AND KUMAR 3D CHRISMTAS: Pot smoke, mounds of coke and little, bitty Ecstasy pills. Urine, feces and semen.

Topless nuns, stoned kids and a bloody Santa Claus. And of course, a singing and dancing Neil Patrick Harris. These are among the many things that get thrown at the wall here — sometimes literally. Very few of them stick. This third film in the “Harold & Kumar” franchise is inordinately jacked up with visual effects and peppy holiday music, but nothing can disguise the fact that this series has run out of steam, that the film’s stars have outgrown the roles that made them famous. Yes, the use of 3-D is supergimmicky, but hey, at least director Todd Strauss-Schulson is consistent in staying with it the whole way through in making his first feature. By this point, John Cho’s Harold and Kal Penn’s Kumar have grown apart. A convoluted set of circumstances involving deflowering a virgin, finding the perfect Christmas tree and outsmarting Ukrainian mobsters creates the opportunity for these two old friends to reconcile. R for strong crude and sexual content, graphic nudity, pervasive language, drug use and some violence. 90 minutes. One and a half stars out of four. — Christy Lemire, AP Movie Critic

Jolie offers housing to refugees ROGATICA, BosniaHerzegovina (AP) — With tears in their eyes, 13 Bosnian refugees moved Thursday into ‘Villa Angelina’ — a brand new U.S.-financed apartment building built after Angelina Jolie drew attention to their plight.

The 13 mainly elderly tenants were the last in their refugee camp, an old rundown school for people displaced by the fighting in Bosnia that ended 16 years ago.

Some cried as they walked over the thresholds of their small flats.

For years, authorities in Rogatica tried to find a permanent solution for them, but it wasn’t until after Jolie and her partner Brad Pitt visited last year that the U.S. agreed to donate $500,000 for housing.

Jolie is a goodwill ambassador for the U.N. refugee agency. The refugees in Rogatica are convinced that her lobbying aided their

cause.

The new tenants could hardly wait for the speeches to be over to receive the keys to the fully furnished small apartments in the bright yellow downtown building.

Villa Angelina is the only building built in Rogatica after the 1992-95 Bosnia war that killed 100,000 people and left hundreds of thousands homeless.

Surrounded by low, grim houses and apartment buildings, the yellow building stands out for its beauty — one more reason to name it after the Hollywood star, people in Rogatica say.

After years of sharing a room with her sister and a bathroom with the rest of the refugees, Lena Babic, 79, finally held a set of keys in one hand and a photo of herself, her 73-year-old sister Mara, and Jolie in the other.

Even after she unlocked the door and sat on a sofa she and her sister now can call their own, Lena never put the photo down.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Don’t wait any longer to seek counseling Dear Annie: I have a year-old son whom I love more than anything in the world. My girlfriend, "Karen," and I are trying to be good parents.

The problem is, Karen and I have broken up several times due to arguments that got out of control. She has a terrible temper.

Usually, a month after our breakups, she pulls out all the stops to get me back.

Since our son's birth, we've stuck together, but we still fight. Twice, Karen has threatened to take our son and leave. The fighting is wearing me down. I have considered proposing because I know it will make her happy. And she really is a great mother. But as soon as I consider finding a ring, we end up having another ridiculous fight.

I've suggested counseling and church, and although she has agreed, I can't get her to schedule anything. Should our son be exposed to our constant fighting and the possibility of a split, or is it better for him to grow up with separated parents who can be civil toward each other? — Balancing on a Cliff in Connecticut Dear Cliff: It's better for kids to grow up in a stable environment with two committed, loving parents. There is still a chance that you can achieve this, but it will require counseling. Don't wait for Karen to schedule an appointment.

She is too afraid that a counselor will blame her for all your troubles, and you should assure her that this is not what a good counselor does.

Make an appointment on your own, and ask her to be there. If she refuses, please go without her.

Dear Annie: All I want to do is get a job so I can have food on the table to feed my family. Yet, every time I fill out an application, they ask about college. If I don't check the box that says I went to college or intend to go, I don't hear from them.

I am retired and need some extra money because my sons can't find work and they are living at home, along with my granddaughter. My wife is already working 60 hours a week. How am I going to support all of them if I can't get some extra money? —Proud Vet Who Can't Find Work Dear Vet: You seem to be searching in the wrong places.

Many jobs do not require a college degree. While the job market is tight right now, please check out these suggested websites for seniors and retirees who need assistance or training: retirementjobs.com, workforce50.com and experienceworks.org. We hope one of them will steer you in the right direction.

Good luck.

Dear Annie: "Miss My Sister" said her bipolar sister didn't think she had any friends, but the funeral was standing room only. How many of those "friends" were in her sister's life before she killed herself?

I, too, have been contemplating suicide. I do not believe I am depressed, but I do feel invisible and that no one would miss me if I died. I have been divorced for five years. I have a good job, my own home, work out regularly and am active in my church. I am close with my family, have many acquaintances and a few good friends. I still feel alone. I would love it if someone would call once in a while and ask me to go to dinner or shopping. If I did commit suicide, it would not be to hurt my family, but to take the hurt away from me. — Lonely Dear Lonely: You may not believe you are depressed, but your letter says otherwise. Someone who has close family and good friends should not feel invisible and alone.

Sometimes it's a matter of perspective or effort. But it could also be a medical or psychiatric problem.

Make an appointment for a complete checkup, and then ask your doctor to refer you to a mental health professional. When suicidal thoughts crop up, please contact the National Suicide Hotline at 1800-SUICIDE (1-800-784-2433) or 1-800-273-TALK (1-800-273-8255).

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

Get taxicab information in a snap

Dear Heloise: This is for anyone who uses a cab while on vacation or in an unfamiliar city.

Most cellphones have camera capabilities. Take a few seconds before you get into your cab to snap a picture of the outside of the cab. It usually shows the name of the company, telephone number and the actual cab number. Should you lose or forget Annie's Mailbox is written by something in the cab, you now Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, have the information to hopefully longtime editors of the Ann Landers recover your items. Later, just column. Please e-mail your quesdelete the picture from your tions to anniesmailbox@comcast.net, phone. — Sandra G., or write to: Annie's Mailbox, c/o Bloomfield, Ind. Creators Syndicate, 5777 W. Century Sandra, you’re brilliant!

Blvd., Ste. 700, Los Angeles, CA Jumping in and out of cabs makes it too easy to lose some90045.

Hints from Heloise Columnist thing. — Heloise LEFTOVER BABY FORMULA Dear Heloise: While I was pregnant, I received many babyformula cans and samples in the mail. I had decided to breastfeed and was puzzled with what to do with the formula. I didn’t have friends or relatives who

might have been able to use it.

I called a women’s shelter.

People there were very helpful and grateful.

They said they would take the cans and samples because they were always in need. I ended up gathering other baby items I no longer needed and added them to my donation as well. — Shawna in San Antonio TEST YOUR HELOISE HINT IQ Dear Readers: Do you know the best way to fold a fitted sheet? Which of these do you think is the Heloise way?

• Roll it into a ball.

• Stuff it into the linen closet.

• Only have one set of sheets so you don’t have to worry about folding them.

The answer is: none of the above. Here’s how to get it done in no time: Place one of the corners, wrong side out, over your hand. Then take the bottom corner of the same side of the sheet and place it, right side out, over the same hand. Do the same thing with the other two corners, only place them over your other hand. Then each fist will be covered with two corners, and the sheet will be folded in half. Move the sheet so that one hand has all four corners. Smooth out any wrinkles and continue folding the sheet. — Heloise

HOROSCOPE Friday, Nov. 4, 2011 Jump at any chances you get in the year ahead to join new clubs, groups or organizations where you can make new friends. Substantial benefits could come your way through contacts you develop at this time.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Be a good listener if someone you know seeks you out to discuss a tasty tidbit of recent vintage. It’ll be to your advantage to check it out with alacrity.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Try to finalize some kind of involvement you have with others that has profitable potential. Stay on top of it and don’t leave anything dangling, because time is not on your side.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Because both your luck and popularity might be waxing, this could be an interesting day for you. Each factor could help produce something good.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Keep at it, because you could be rather fortunate in resolving a critical situation or issue that looked to be hanging in the balance. Once resolved, you’ll feel like a winner.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — Don’t hesitate to help out a friend when he or she requests it. What this person will do for you in appreciation could make the gesture you offer pale in comparison.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) — Adopting a positive attitude always works to your advantage. Have complete faith in yourself and your abilities, and you’ll be able to pull off something that may astound both you and others.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Don’t hesitate to think big and expand your horizons. It’s a time where you could be exceptionally fortunate by thinking in terms of huge ideas and large concepts.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — Something you put together is likely to have ongoing benefits for a long time to come. Because the dividends may be small, this might not be apparent to you at present.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) — Go out of your way to make your friends feel appreciated and you’ll be repaid 10 times over. Duly paid attention is a dynamic bonding agent.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Displaying initiative and imagination can lead to extremely positive results in any area of your life. It behooves you to utilize both in all your financial dealings at this juncture.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — If you’re put in a position where you have to make a decision that would affect someone you love, put this person’s feelings above your own interests and concerns.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — There’s a strong likelihood that you’ll find yourself in a brief cycle of fortunate changes that you might not recognize at first. Two beneficial shifts could take place before you know it.

monster monsoon rains spawned floods that began swallowing areas north of the capital in late July. But experts warn the biggest health threats will likely emerge in the coming weeks after moving floodwaters subside, leaving stale pools.

“There’s a lot of danger around it,” says Mark Thomas, a spokesman for UNICEF, which is assisting with sanitation issues.

“You need to keep kids out of the water, and everybody should stay out of the water as much as possible.”

Mosquito-borne diseases, such as dengue fever, are a concern as well as eye infections and waterborne ailments that can lead to diarrhea and severe dehydration.

Skin diseases and fungal infections are the flood’s biggest plague so far, with nearly 100,000 cases of athlete’s foot reported.

Bouts of diarrhea and respiratory infections are also common, especially with many flood victims sheltering in hot, cramped sites that may not have electricity or clean water.

Trash, sewage boost disease risk in Bangkok floods BANGKOK (AP) — Samroeng Verravanich wades through the rancid brown water in one of Bangkok’s many flooded streets. The garbageman plunges a white-gloved hand into the filth, fishes out a slimy plastic bag and slings it into the red basket he’s towing.

“If you have cuts, it can create infections between your fingers,” Samroeng says of the dirty water, holding out a dripping hand peppered with a red rash. “My hands got infected. It hurts and it spreads too like a virus.”

As Thailand’s worst floods in more than half a century continue to creep into Bangkok, mixing with water bubbling up through drains and spilling over canals, many streets have become floating landfills.

Plastic bags overflowing with waste and rotten food cling to boats, cars, motorbikes and people as they slowly snake through inundated roadways. Raw sewage and animal carcasses can be seen bobbing in waters ripe for disease.

No major outbreaks have been reported since

Devils ready for playoff matchup

BY JOSH BROWN Sports Editor jbrown@tdnpublishing.com Tippecanoe coach Charlie Burgbacher is an old-school coach, a gruff, hard-nosed man reminiscent of the Vince Lombardi era, when the word “iron” in “gridiron” meant something.

But he also knows when to have fun.

And that time is now.

“This is playoff time. It should be fun,” Burgbacher said of his Red Devils’ impending matchup tonight against Cincinnati Turpin at Tipp City Park in the Division II Regional quarterfinal

TIPP CITY round. “We’ve earned the right to play this week. There’s only 192 teams in the state playing this week, and only 32 in our division.

This isn’t work. It’s fun.”

And why is it fun? Because there’s nothing left to prove.

“There’s no pressure — we don’t have to worry about getting into the playoffs or playing for a league title,” Burgbacher said.

“That’s all over. Now we’re just playing to win and having fun at it. And if we win, we play again next week.”

There was plenty for the

Troy’s quarterback Cody May (left) and receiver Ian Dunaway have been a big part of the resurgent passing game the Trojans will take into their Division I playoff game at Upper Arlington Saturday.

Let there be flight May, Dunaway the genesis of passing game

BY DAVID FONG Executive Editor fong@tdnpublishing.com The dreams Ian Dunaway had as a fledging football player growing up in Troy’s system were in stark contrast to the reality he figured awaited him once he reached high school.

As a youngster, Dunaway had visions of catching touchdown pass after touchdown pass from his best friend, quarterback Cody May. He figured those dreams never be realized, however, in the Troy football team’s traditionally run-based offense.

“Did I dream it? Yes. Did I realistically think it would happen? No,” said Dunaway, now a senior receiver for the Trojans.

If there’s one thing this season has taught Dunaway, it’s that dreams can — and sometimes do — come true.

May and Dunaway are the

TROY linchpins in a balanced Trojan offense that Troy will take into Saturday’s Division I, Region 3 playoff game at Upper Arlington. Both have firmly etched their names into the record book this season as the Trojans have thrown the ball more this year than at any other point in head coach Steve Nolan’s three decades at Troy.

May has completed 76 of 141 passes for 1,138 yards, with 14 touchdowns and six interceptions. Coupled with his 1,000yard passing performance last season, May became just the second quarterback in school history to throw for 1,000 or more yards in consecutive seasons, joining Troy legend Tommy Myers.

Dunaway has caught 29 passes for 532 yards and 10

Cavs move on, ready for rematch

BY ROB KISER Ohio Community Media rkiser@dailycall.com The showdown is set.

No. 1 St. Henry will play No. 2 Lehman Catholic in a Division IV Regional final at 2 p.m. Saturday at Tippecanoe High School.

“Definitely, we are looking forward to it after losing to them (in the regular season),” Lehman senior middle Paxton Hatcher said. “And we are playing well right now.”

TIPP CITY But first, Lehman had to get past a young, talented Fort Loramie team Thursday night in the regional semifinals.

And the Redskins scrapped hard in all three games before losing 25-20, 25-18, 25-16.

“This was a good match for us,” Lehman coach Greg Snipes said. “This was good preparation for St. Henry. Both teams are familiar with each other and get up for this match. Fort Loramie always plays us tough, so we knew this would be a good match.”

Cavs ■ CONTINUED FROM 15 the Redskins showed why they will be one of the most feared teams around in the future, putting up an 18-9 record with a roster that was made up mostly of freshman and sophomores.

“You are going to see these girls for another two years, some of them three,” Fort Loramie coach John Rodgers said. “There were a whole lot of people who saw us this summer and didn’t give us much chance of being here (in the regionals).

“I am so proud of these girls. From winning the league, to winning sectionals and district, these girls have really come a long way.”

And all three games seemed to have a pattern to OHIO COMMUNITY MEDIA PHOTO/MIKE ULLERY them.

Redskins rally.

The first game the Cavaliers opened a 15-8 lead with two kills each by Lindsey Spearman and Andrea Thobe.

“Most of the year, we have relied heavily on the middles,” Snipes said. “Tonight, we went to the outsides and they came through, which was good to see. I thought we would be tight early, but we came out and opened up a lead.”

A Lindsey Hilgefort kill and Reggi Brandewie block started a run for Fort Loramie and they got as close as 20-18, before the Cavaliers finished things off.

Consecutive kills by Thobe on Ellie Waldsmith’s serve ended it.

“Our problem was we just couldn’t string points together tonight,” Rodgers said. “We

would get a couple points and Lehman would say OK and run off three or four points.

They have that experience and that is what they do.”

It was more of the same in the second and third games.

In the second game, Lehman led 18-9 after an Ellie Cain ace. A kill by Darian Rose helped Loramie close within 20-16, before the Cavs would put the game away, with kills by Cain and Hatcher.

“That seemed to be the rhythm for the first two games,” Snipes said. “I thought we did a better job closing things out in the third game.” Hatcher began to take control at the net as the match went on, finishing with five blocks.

“After the first couple points, we were able to control the net. Paxton (Hatcher) had

a big match and that is something that will be important Saturday with St. Henry’s size.”

A block and spike by Hatcher gave Lehman an 114 lead in the third game and Fort Loramie could get no closer than 20-15 before the Cavaliers finished things off.

For Lehman, Thobe had 13 kills, 18 assists and eight digs, while Morgan Schmitmeyer had six kills. Waldsmith had five kills and seven digs and Cain dished out 12 assists.

Erica Paulus led the defense with 13 digs and Meghan Earhart added seven.

Now, Lehman (24-3) gets a rematch with 26-1 St. Henry “We are peaking at the right time,” Thobe said. “Yes (we are looking forward to the match).”

Nothing else needed to be said.

Back with a vengeance Tipp’s Wharton ready to take on field at state

BY COLIN FOSTER Sports Writer cfoster@tdnpublishing.com It may be the first time time in a while that Tippecanoe doesn’t have a team at the state cross country meet …

But that doesn’t mean Tippecanoe doesn’t have any representatives.

Sam Wharton qualified as an individual for Saturday’s state meet, placing eighth (16:06.28) in the Division I Regional last Saturday in Troy.

TIPP CITY Though Wharton’s state berth was expected, his place and time at regional were not. Wharton hasn’t lost too many races this year in the Miami County area this year — in fact, he has dominated the area, winning the Miami County Invitational in West Milton by a landslide and surging to a district title on Oct. 22, helping the Tippecanoe team earn a regional berth.

So naturally, when Wharton got passed by a few competitors and dropped to eighth place during the final stretch of regional, there were some eyebrows raised.

“He (Sam) was off Saturday,” Tippecanoe coach Byron Kimmel said. “But he doesn’t make excuses. “He’s only had a handful of bad races, but every time he’s had a bad race, he came back strong. He’s going to come out with a vengence Saturday.”

As a junior, Wharton has already done some pretty amazing things, recording the second-fastest time in school history (15:47) on a list that only includes times

Motivation not a problem STAFF FILE PHOTO/COLIN FOSTER

Tippecanoe’s Sam Wharton builds a lead at the Division I District meet. Wharton qualified for the state meet last weekend at the regional meet in Troy. on postseason courses.

Wharton trails only Jason Salyer (15:42), who established the mark in 2007 and is currently the No. 1 runner for Bowling Green State University. Also among Wharton’s accomplishments include making it to state all three years as a high school runner. The Tippecanoe team qualified in his freshman year, where Wharton went on to become an All-Ohio honoree, an honor he has earned twice in his career.

But at state, which will take place at the National Trail Raceway in Hebron, Wharton will possibly encounter the best field he has ever faced, racing

against the best Division I has to offer in Tippecanoe’s first year in the division.

The competition may be steep, but that doesn’t mean Wharton’s odds aren’t good.

In a pack loaded with talent and future college runners, the current favorite is Tsehaye Hiluf of Reynoldsburg, who won the Pickerington regional in a time of 15:44.03 last Saturday.

“The Reynoldsburg kid I would say is the favorite, but there are a group of about five or six guys that could go out and win it,” Kimmel said. “The Reynoldsburg kid likes to start out kind of conservative, so Sam may go out and push the pack. He’s

going to go out with the lead pack and just try to stay there. That’s just kind of what we’ve been talking about strategy-wise.”

Tippecanoe’s Katie Landwehr won state as an individual in the fall of 2010 in D-II. Whether or not Wharton will accomplish what Landwher did remains to be seen, but Wharton should have a good shot considering he will lead a team back in his senior season that will return its top seven runners.

“He’s got big sights,” Kimmel said. “He’s an outstanding student. He should go big time.”

Big time starts on Saturday.

■ National Basketball Association

Headed back to the table Saturday NEW YORK (AP) — NBA players and owners will start negotiating again Saturday, and the union’s leaders say they’re unified as they seek to resolve the lockout.

President Derek Fisher, executive director Billy Hunter and executive committee members said after meeting for about three hours Thursday that there was no truth to reports of a rift among them.

“We’ve had no problems, and that’s the reality,” Hunter said.

Hunter said they spent

no more than 10-15 minutes total on a conference call earlier this week and during Thursday’s gathering discussing the reports.

“The battle is not within our union,” Bucks guard Keyon Dooling said.

“Derek Fisher’s the best president our union has ever seen. We’ll stand as committee members I’m the first vice president and I stand behind him.”

Owners and players haven’t met since talks broke off last Friday.

Hunter said federal mediator George Cohen contacted him earlier this

week about possibly rejoining the negotiations.

Cohen probably won’t be involved Saturday, but the conversation led to Hunter calling Commissioner David Stern on Wednesday about resuming talks.

Hunter said union leaders had spent the last several days cautioning players that the two sides were still far apart on several system issues, so completing a deal was not as simple as a compromise on the revenue split.

“Our guys are in a position of they still want us to negotiate a fair deal,”

Fisher said. “They’ve given us that power. They’ve given us that support.

“Obviously we’re going to have individual members in individual sets of circumstances that want to get back to play. We want to get back to play.

But we realize the ramifications of agreeing to a bad deal at this moment. … This particular collective bargaining agreement will forever impact the circumstances of NBA basketball players. We can’t rush into a deal we feel is a bad deal just to save this season.”

Toronto routs Columbus, 4-1 COLUMBUS (AP) — It got so bad that the Toronto Maple Leafs almost felt sorry for Steve Mason.

Clarke MacArthur scored twice in his 300th career game, providing all the offense needed to make Ben Scrivens a win-

ner in his NHL debut, and the Maple Leafs beat Mason and the Columbus Blue Jackets 4-1 on Thursday night.

“We scored awful easy,” Maple Leafs coach Ron Wilson said of Mason, lit up for all four goals on just 11 shots. “The other

kid had a tough night.”

Mason was met with derisive cheers on several stops. Finally, he was replaced before the game was even half over.

Even Scrivens, while thrilled to win his first career game, expressed sympathy for his

Columbus counterpart.

“Everyone has those games where you’re just fighting it for whatever reason,” Scrivens said.

“He’s a Calder Trophy winner. He’s a good goalie.

He’s proven himself in this league. I’m just happy I was able to get a win.”

Vikings ready for title game

BY JOSH BROWN Sports Editor jbrown@tdnpublishing.co m The Miami East Vikings know what’s at stake.

They’re just not letting it get to them.

And when the Vikings (26-1) take on Bishop Fenwick — the defending state champion — Saturday in the Division III Regional championship match at Fairmont’s Trent Arena, they don’t expect much to change, either.

“What’s been really impressive about these girls is how they’ve carried themselves,” Miami East coach John Cash said. “They’re out here staying loose and just having fun. We’re definitely going to be ready. I don’t think there’s any motivation needed for this one.”

The Vikings — the top-ranked team in the state in Division III all season long — have spent the whole year proving to everyone that they deserve it. Miami East began the season with an early victory over St. Henry, the No. 1 team in D-IV, in a best-of-three tournament. Their only loss was to Lehman, the then-No. 2 team in the state in D-IV, in a best-ofthree match at the Piqua Invitational. They then came back a few days later and avenged that loss, sweeping the Cavs in three and giving them a victory over both teams that will be playing in the D-IV Regional final the same day.

Miami East then got some vengeance for a loss from last season, beating Anna — the team that knocked the Vikings out in last year’s sectional final — Wednesday night for the team’s first-ever win in the regional tournament.

CASSTOWN It took the Vikings four games to beat the Rockets, though — the first time they’ve been pushed to four all year.

“Our ball control was not where it needed to be,” Cash said. ‘We became one-dimensional.

We were forced to go to our outside or set up the back row every time, and we became predictable. It took us out of our game a little.

“But our setters still put up good balls and we could still get good swings — and, most importantly, we kept points going. We’re built for those long points. It doesn’t matter who we play, if we can keep points going and win 60 percent of those long points, we’ll win the match.”

And while the Falcons aren’t necessarily the same team that won the state title in D-III last year, the Vikings know they’ll have to be ready to play — and that they’ll have to use all of their experience gained throughout the year.

“They’ve (Fenwick) got girls that can put it away, and they can be a finesse team, too,” Cash said. “I don’t think they do anything we haven’t seen, though. We’ve played enough diverse teams that have tried to score on us a lot of different ways. To win, we’re going to have to have ball control and we’re going to have to serve well.”

But the Vikings won’t have to worry about one piece of the championship formula.

“A chance at the program’s first regional title, getting to the state’s final four — which has been our goal all along — motivation is not going to be an issue. Working hard in practice is not going to be an issue,” Cash said.

■ CONTINUED FROM 15 touchdowns. His receiving yardage is the fourth-highest single-season total in school history, while his 10 touchdown catches is only three off the school record of 13 set by Tommy Vaughn in 1960.

“Obviously they’ve both had outstanding seasons,” Nolan said. “Dunaway does a great job catching the ball and Cody makes great reads. Neither one of them make many mistakes.

When we looked at the personnel we had on offense this season, we knew we had a great quarterback and a great receiver and that went a long way in deciding what we were going to do with our offense this season. They both work well together.”

It’s a relationship that dates back nearly a decade — and is to the point now where both frequently know what the other is thinking on the football field.

“We grew up together,” May said. :We never played on the same little league team, but we go way back to the third or fourth grade, playing football together on the playground.

“Sometimes it’s like we know what eachother is thinking.

We’ll give eachother a little look on a passing play and know exactly what the other one is thinking. It’s like a little bond that we have. We’ve got a good connection. We’ve got our timing down.”

Dunaway agreed.

“We’ve definitely got a chemistry,” he said. “We hang out on the field and off the field. We’ve been playing together since the seventh grade. We were actually both quarterbacks, but he obviously beat me out for that job and I was just another running back. In eighth grade, I became a receiver.”’

And the rest, as they say, has been history.

Devils ■ CONTINUED FROM 15 Devils to prove all season, though.

After spending a long time as a Division III team, changing enrollments and OHSAA competition standards forced the Devils to move up to D-II. And although the Red Devils have now been to the playoffs seven years in a row — and eight times overall — there have been detractors all season thanks to their relative youth and inexperience.

“At the beginning of the season, there weren’t many people that gave us a chance, that had confidence in us,” Burgbacher said.

“These kids went out every week and proved they deserve it (the chance to play in the playoffs). They belong here. Winning nine games is not something that’s been common throughout the years. This group has established its place in our history.”

Turpin (7-3) has its own

history, though.

The Spartans have reached the playoffs seven times — including five times in the past six years. In 2006, they even made a state tournament appearance, falling to the eventual state champions, the Piqua Indians.

“They’ve been in on a regular basis the last few years,” Burgbacher said.

“They know what it’s all about.”

But the Devils, while young, have some experience in the playoffs, as well.

“We’ve got a lot of people excited about playing,” Burgbacher said. “For our young kids, it’s their first time being in. But we’ve got some seniors that are excited about being in, too. They were a group that, when they were in seventh, eighth and ninth grade, struggled some.

“But they’re going out winners. They’re going out as a playoff team.”

And having fun doing it.

Browns’ backfield (not) in motion with Hardesty down after tearing a calf muscle last week that could keep him out for several games, the team signed free agent Thomas Clayton earlier this week following a tryout.

The Browns’ 29th ranked running game is hurting. It could be in greater pain Sunday when Cleveland faces the Houston Texans, who have the league’s thirdranked defense.

However, the Browns finally got some encouraging news Thursday when Hillis made it through his first practice in more than a week and said he’s on track to play Sunday after missing Cleveland’s previous two games. It was Hillis’ first practice since Oct. 26, when he pushed his tender hamstring too hard and suffered a setback.

“I went through practice and was smarter about it and came out healthy,” Hillis said. “My mind’s starting to get back to where I feel more comfortable and more confident about going out there and doing what I need to do.”

SPRINGFIELD

BEREA (AP) — Two weeks ago, running back Chris Ogbonnaya was on Houston’s practice squad, waiting for his chance. On Sunday, he’ll play against the Texans.

Such is life in the unpredictable NFL. “It’s crazy. This league is crazy,” said Ogbonnaya, signed by the Browns on Oct. 18. “There are opportunities that come out of nowhere, come out of different circumstances, different situations.”

You want crazy and different? Well, Cleveland’s the place.

The Browns have undergone a maddening makeover in the offensive backfield this season as an eruption of injuries have sidelined running backs Peyton Hillis, Montario Hardesty and Brandon Jackson, who suffered a season-ending toe injury in an exhibition.

With Hillis, who has been a lightning rod for controversy, sidelined by a hamstring injury, the Browns signed Ogbonnaya last month. And

“This week, we’ve had a lot of well-wishes from a lot of those players that graduated that year,” Pearce said. “They’ve been following the team from wherever they happen to be now, and they’ve been saying how much it reminds them of that year.”

But this year’s MiltonUnion team also knows what it’s up against.

The Spartans finished the regular season undefeated and won the Southwestern Buckeye League Buckeye Division title, beating Milton-Union 49-21 at Waynesville in Week 9 to wrap it up. They

defeated teams by an average score of 40.7-15.1, only being tested in a 49-48 double-overtime victory over Carlisle en route to the No. 1 seed in the region.

And while Waynesville quarterback Luke Creditt — who rushed for 219 yards and three touchdowns and threw for 215 yards and three more scores in the first meeting — is a major part of the Bulldogs’ challenge Saturday night, finding a way to move the ball against the Spartans’ punishing defense may be an even bigger key.

The Bulldogs had 213 yards of total offense in the

Friday, November 4, 2011

first meeting, rushing for only 159 — with 57 of those coming on two Tyler Brown touchdowns — and throwing for 59 — 50 of which came on a touchdown catch by Jake Finfrock.

“The first time around, they did a very good job of taking away what we like to do best — our power running game,” Pearce said. “We have to be prepared to move the ball a variety of different ways.”

Still, that Spartan offense is a major concern, too.

“We had some defensive breakdowns and gave them some big plays, plays we didn’t give up all sea-

son,” Pearce said. “That’s a lot of what we’ve been working on, shoring up those miscues. We’ve got to make them work a little harder to put up their points.”

No matter what the case, the Bulldogs know they can’t rely on the fact that they’ve already seen their opponent to lead them through the game.

“I don’t know if it’s an advantage,” Pearce said.

“We just need to show up and play good football. In a lot of other varsity sports, you play the other teams in your league twice and end up splitting those games.

That’s all we’re after. A season split.”

Back where it started ‘Pacman’ Jones to take on former team CINCINNATI (AP) — Adam “Pacman” Jones says his eagerness to play Sunday in Tennessee has nothing to do with what happened during his stormy three years as a Titan.

After a year away because of a neck injury, the Cincinnati Bengals cornerback and punt returner just wants to get on the field for an entire game.

The Bengals (5-2) will visit the place where Jones’ career started with such great promise and crashed so fast. He was the sixth overall pick in 2005 and earned a starting job as a rookie, but let his career quickly unravel with a series of arrests and suspensions.

Now 28, Jones has revived his career with the Bengals, who signed him last season after he’d been out of football for a year.

The game on Sunday is a chance to show Tennessee (4-3) that he’s still around.

“I know people are like, ‘He can’t wait to get back down there and show off’ or this and that,” Jones said. “But I’ve came to past with Tennessee. I have no regrets. I’m happy here in Cincinnati. The city of Cincinnati is what I’m worried about. I could care less about Tennessee.”

His immediate concern is a sore hamstring that could keep him out of the game.

Jones signed a two-year deal with Cincinnati last year, getting a chance to revive his career. He injured a neck disc in October and needed surgery. He had another procedure over the summer, pushing back his return.

Jones finally got back on the field last Sunday in Seattle. The first time he touched the ball, he returned a punt 63 yards to set up a touchdown in a 34-12 win. He grabbed the right hamstring as he ran out of bounds on the return, then spent the rest

AP FILE PHOTO

In this July 30 file photo, Cincinnati Bengals cornerback Adam Jones is shown at training camp in Georgetown, Ky. He expects to play in Tennessee — the place where his career started — despite a sore hamstring. of the game on the sideline.

He said the hamstring was at about 60 percent strength by midweek, leaving him questionable for the game. He worked out on Wednesday and Thursday but didn’t participate in practice.

“I’m not going to do anything to jeopardize myself, first of all, or what we’re trying to do as a team,” Jones said. “If it’s better for me to sit out this week and wait till next week to play for myself and my team, that’s what I would do.

“Like I said, we’ll make decisions accordingly.

Right now, I don’t know.”

The Bengals will try to extend their winning streak to five games, something they haven’t done since their Super Bowl season of 1988. After that

comes a stretch that will define their season games against Pittsburgh, at Baltimore, against Cleveland and in Pittsburgh.

Jones wants to be part of the second-half push.

He was encouraged to make an impact the first time he touched the ball, then extremely discouraged that he’d get only the one play because he got hurt.

“So my mind is racing every which-a-way now,” he said. “But these guys are doing good to keep me positive and keep my spirits up, so just take it one day at a time and let it play itself out.”

Jones said it took him a couple of years to come to peace with what happened in Tennessee, where he was suspended by the team for one game in 2006

and by the NFL for the entire 2007 season because of his arrests. He was traded to Dallas in 2008 and suspended again. Jones was out of football in 2009.

He’s had one arrest while with the Bengals. He pleaded not guilty to misdemeanor counts of disorderly conduct and resisting arrest for a disturbance at a downtown bar last July. He’s scheduled for trial on Nov. 17.

Jones is one of eight NFL players subject to discipline from the league for incidents that occurred during the lockout this summer. Teammate Cedric Benson missed the win in Seattle while serving a one-game suspension for his offseason arrest in Texas.

“My experience with Adam has been excellent,” coach Marvin Lewis said.

“I’m very close with (former Titans coach) Jeff Fisher, really talked with Jeff a lot about Adam before when Adam was still a Titan and once we decided to bring him here.

I think he’s grown up a lot.

I feel he knows he’s made a lot of error in judgment.

It’s unfortunate that a guy could go into college and spend three years on a college campus and not learn some of the things really they should learn.

“But hopefully he’s learned those lessons now.

He’s been a great teammate to the guys here, very supportive of everyone.”

Titans cornerback Cortland Finnegan, who moved into a starting role during Jones’ season-long suspension in 2007, is looking forward to seeing him again.

“You always hope he plays,” Finnegan said. “You never want a guy to be hurt, and he’s just so electrifying in the punt return, what he did there. I want to see him out there. I want to be able to talk to him, see how he’s doing.”
