Four sidewalk assessments under review Committee expected to give recommendation prior to next city council meeting
Former coach Royal dies at 88 A son of Depression-era Oklahoma, Darrell Royal came to Texas to take over a sleeping giant of a football program. Over 20 years, his folksy approach to sports and life, his inventive wishbone offense and a victory in the “Game of the Century” where a U.S. president declared his team national champion made him an icon of college football.

Republicans asking ‘why?’ Having lost the popular vote in five of the last six presidential elections, Republicans plunged Wednesday into an intense period of self-examination, blame-setting and testy debate over whether their party needs serious change or just some minor tweaks. The fallout will help determine whether the GOP might return to heights approximating the Ronald Reagan years or, as some fear, suffer even deeper losses as the nation’s Democratic-leaning Hispanics increase in number.

Eric and Jill, owners of Splish Splash Auto Bath, expressed their frustration in being assessed $7,360 for new sidewalks when sections were some replaced roughly seven years ago and others 10-12 years ago. With extensive construction, Eric said he expected to see a significant effect on his 24-yearold business, which employs about 20 people. Jill said even the city acknowledged the potential for problems with construction, referring to a brochure mailed out to all Troy residents that read, “Please try to avoid the area if possible.” “That’s frustrating,” Jill said. “We’re trying to stay alive, and this is telling me the city isn’t about small businesses.” Swan apologized for the wording of the literature. Swan explained that unlike a regular sidewalk project, in which construction would be limited to old and damaged sidewalk, the upcoming project involves moving sidewalk closer to properties by about 8 to 16 inches, to accommodate widening the street. Elevations will be slightly changed as well. McGarry, chairman of the board, recommended residents be assessed only
The Assessment Equalization Board — established by city council — recommended that the four property owners and couples who filed rejections for the North Market Street project be charged only for front footage that is old and in poor condition, not sidewalk that has been recently repaired. During the Wednesday meeting in city hall, a board comprised of James A. McGarry, Rena L. Gumerlock and N. Lawrence Wolke watched a presentation from City Engineer Deborah Swan and listened to concerns from property owners. About 50 properties were assessed for sidewalk repairs, totally $145,000, and had two weeks to appeal the bill, Swan said. The four properties appealing the assessment were 529 N. Market St., owned by Joseph and Kelly Weaver; 603 N. Market St., owned by Rosemary Woodard; 610 N. Market St., owned by Curtis Heslip; and 702 N. Market St., owned by Eric and Jill Weaver. • See SIDEWALK on Page 2

judges on 2nd District Court of Appeals BY WILL E SANDERS Ohio Community Media wsanders@dailycall.com A former three-term prosecutor and common pleas court judge is now preparing for his new assignment: sitting on the 2nd District Court of Appeals. Jeffrey Welbaum, a Republican, was elected to the appeals court following Tuesday’s election against challenger Carley Ingram, a Democrat, with a total 202,442 votes to 169,949, or approximately 54 percent to 46 percent. Welbaum’s largest vote margin came in Miami County where he served the electorate for decades, first as a prosecutor and then as a judge. He also won the counties of Greene, Champaign and Darke counties. Ingram took Clark and
Montgomery counties by small voting margins. “I was hoping to win by one vote and anything beyond one vote was a bonus,” Welbaum lightheartedly said after all voting precincts reported in final vote tallies Wednesday morning. A practicing attorney for 35 years, Welbaum has served all sides of the legal system, from public defender to prosecutor to common pleas court judge. And he’ll now join four other judges on the 2nd District Court of Appeals beginning Feb. 9, 2013. “Miami County really came through,” Welbaum said. “I am very pleased that the voters supported me like they did and I am very grateful to the voters and all of my supporters. They are the ones who made this victory happen.” He said the race was a “wonderful adventure” and that his campaign volunteers “made it an exciting and pleasurable experience.”

• CONTINUED FROM 1 no one agrees 100 percent with their party’s leader and agenda. “There were some things I thought the President could have done a little better,” Fisher said. Fisher has been the leader of the county’s Democratic Party since last spring. Fisher was defeated in his bid for state representative for the 80th district by incumbent Republican Richard Adams Tuesday. Adams said he was “disappointed” Obama had been reelected for a second term. “Gov. Romney was a supreme administrator, manager, leader and business man and had experience and education,” Adams said. “I felt President Obama, who is an excellent personality and a speaker, lacks the experience in public administration or enterprise.” Fisher said he believes Obama won Ohio by rescuing the auto industry and saving jobs. “Obama policies saved a lot of jobs in Ohio,” he said. Fisher said the government’s bailout not only worked for GM and Chrysler, but for the smaller supply chains and the non-union shops which supply parts to other manufacturers.
Dow loses 313 in postelection sell-off Wall Street greeted a second Obama term the way it greeted the first. Investors dumped stocks Wednesday in the sharpest selloff of the year. With the election only hours behind them, they focused on big problems ahead in Washington and across the Atlantic. Frantic selling recalled the days after Obama’s first victory, as the financial crisis raged and stocks spiraled downward. Four years later, American voters returned a divided government to power and left investors fretting about a package of tax increases and government spending cuts that could stall the economic recovery unless Congress acts to stop it by Jan. 1. The Dow Jones industrial average plummeted as much as 369 points, or 2.8 percent, in the first two hours of trading. It recovered steadily in the afternoon, but slid into the close and ended down 313, its biggest point drop since a year ago — Staff and wire reports p

Tuesday’s flight cargo included loaded four trucks and two trailers, along with 17 men and their equipment. Once loading was complete, the aircraft departed the Pacific Coast base bound for the East Coast and McGuire Air Base in New Jersey, nearly seven flight hours away. With off-duty crew members and power crew members napping wherever they could find a spot, the aircraft flew through the night. As dawn began to break over the eastern seaboard, the giant C-17 descended through a solid cloud cover to its destination at McGuire Air Base.

“One out of every eight jobs in the state Ohio is tied to the auto industry,” Fisher said. “It was the one big reason the president carried Ohio and Romney had said before ‘let them go bankrupt.’” Fisher said while campaigning for state representative, he spoke with employees from Honda and Toyota who expressed concern how General Motors’ demise would have an adverse effect on their outside vendors and suppliers. Adams said he hopes Obama is successful in the next four years yet is still very concerned how the government is heading toward more reliance on the government. “All Americans need to stop and reflect for a minute,” Adams said. “We are slip-sliding running toward (socialism) with some degree of speed.” Yet both Adams and Fisher both said they have high hopes that the nation’s leaders will drop their partisan agendas and compromise to use their leadership to help guide the nation in the next presidential term. “We need to check out partisan politics at the door because we’re still hurting out here, but we’ll see,” Fisher said.

Gumerlock asked how excluding these portions would effect the construction. “If sidewalk is left out, what is the continuity of the project?” Gumerlock asked.

minority after the second election in a row in which they lost potentially winnable races by fielding candidates with views that voters evidently judged too extreme. One major topic for GOP discussion: the changing face of America. “We’ve got to deal with the issue of immigration through good policy. What is the right policy if we want economic growth in America as it relates to immigration?” said former Republican Party Chairman Haley Barbour. Obama drew support from about 70 percent of all Hispanics. That far outpaced Romney, who said during the
Republican primaries that illegal immigrants should self-deport, then spent the general election campaign trying to move toward the political middle on the issue. The maneuvering on the economy the dominant issue by far in the campaign began even before Obama returned to the White House from his home town of Chicago. After securing a second term, the president is committed to bipartisan solutions “to reduce our deficit in a balanced way, cut taxes for middle class families and small businesses and create jobs,” and he told congressional leaders as much in phone calls, the White House said.

Wolke asked if the city would be creating inequity and thus “opening a can of worms” by making exceptions for newer sidewalks only for those property owners who appealed the assessment. Swan responded that everyone had the same opportunity to make an appeal. City Administrator Sue Knight said a draft report would be prepared for the buildings, streets and sidewalks committee to give their recommendation, hopefully by next week. Council would then decide whether to approve, reject or modify the legislation.

Police department to hire new officer BY CECILIA FOX For the Troy Daily News editorial@tdnpublishing.com
TIPP CITY
By next spring, the currently understaffed Tipp City Police Department should be back to full strength. At the city council study session Monday night, council approved Chief Tom Police Davidson’s request to start the search for a new police officer. “There has been a pretty heavy burden on our officers,” Chief Davidson said. Four retirements and a military deployment have left the department understaffed and overworked. Three of those vacancies have been filled and, with the hiring of a new patrolman and the return of another from military duty, by March 2013 the department will be back to full strength. The department has retired four officers since 2011, bringing the total number of officers to 16. So far this year, the total cost of the 1,746 hours of overtime is $142,642, which is up 659 hours and $114,116 from this time in 2011. Current overtime hours do not yet reflect the new hires, since it takes several months to train a new patrolman. Training can even create more overtime because trainees cannot be on patrol alone. The total first-year cost of hiring a new patrolman is between $70,000 and $80,000, depending on factors like the type of health
insurance. Davidson said he would like to hire the new patrolman before the end of the year, however, which would cost about $9,307 in 2012. Although part of that $9,307 would cover one-time expenses like uniform and equipment, which costs about $5,700. Despite the cost of hiring a new officer, council agreed that lessening the overtime burden on current officers is more important. “You have to consider how hard those guys are working,” Mayor Dee Gillis said. Davidson expects that a new patrolman could be hired by December and fully trained by March. During the meeting, council approved a resolution of necessity for the South Third Street reconstruction project. This resolution declares that the improvements—reconstruction of the street base and pavement, new storm sewers, water and sewer mains, curbs and gutters, driveway approaches and sidewalks—are necessary. This resolution is the first step in the assessment process. Once the costs of the improvements have been assessed, the actual cost of the project will be presented to council. Council authorized the purchase of a new 2.5 ton dump truck cab and chassis from Stoops
Freightliner and a new dump truck bed and hydraulics from Henderson Equipment. The cost of the cab and chassis is $72,393, which is below the state bid price by about $5,000, and the cost of the dump bed and hydraulics is $55,005. The total cost of the purchase is $127,393. Council also approved the 2013-2017 Capital Improvement Plan, with several modifications. Council reviewed the plan in September and suggested that several items be changed. The changes include placing the police department’s new Ford Explorer on a 5-year rotation and delaying the purchase of new trucks for the street and electric departments and a new backhoe for the water/sewer department. Council approved the continuation of several contracts for 2013, including a contract with the Miami County Public Defender Commission and another Dayton Pool with Management. The commission contract meets the city’s obligation to provide legal services to residents who cannot afford it. The cost of the one-year contract is $4,068. The city has had a contract with Dayton Pool Management for the operation and management of the Tippecanoe Family Aquatic Center for the last few seasons. The contract price for the standard 84 day season is $314,549.
AREA BRIEFS
Lecture series to continue Nov. 14 TROY — At 7 p.m. Nov. 14, the WACO Air Museum will host a lecture about the World War II Battle of Iwo Jima. Veteran Charlie Baker joined the Marines in June 1944 and arrived at Iwo Jima on Feb. 19, 1945. On Baker’s fourth day at Iwo Jima, he joined Company F, 2nd Battalion, 28th Marines, 5th Division and spent the remainder of his 36 days on Iwo Jima with a machine gunner crew. “There were four of us in a fox hole. Grenades and machine gun bullets seemed to be everywhere. Later we discovered that we had participated in one of the roughest campaigns on the island,” Baker has wrote. Veteran Gailard “Red” Ketcham served with the U.S. Army Air Corp and trained to be a ball turret
gunner on a B-17 Flying Fortress. After the war, he was selected to be an aerial photographer and flew many missions over England, France, Germany and North Africa. Ketcham then worked for General Motors Frigidaire Division in Dayton for 35 years. After retirement, he became interested in the history of Frigidaire and was appointed historian, gathering memorabilia and pictures of any happenings over the years. He discovered that one of the Frigidaire employees was one of the six boys that raised the American flag on Mount Suribachi, Iwo Jima Island, portrayed in the famous photograph. Ketcham also became aware of other Dayton area men who were associated with this historical event. He will explain all these connections during the lecture.
The WACO Air Museum is located at 1865 S. County Road 25-A, Troy. The lecture is free and open to the public. For more information, go to www.wacoairmuseum.org or call 335-WACO.

EDITORIAL ROUNDUP The Courier, Houma, La., on U.S. oil production: The oil production of the United States is on a sharp upward climb, and that should please anyone who is rooting for American energy independence. That won’t happen in the next year or two, but the experts predict that within the next decade, the nation’s oil imports could decrease by half. Right now, the U.S. is producing about 10.9 million barrels of crude and other hydrocarbons — representing a 7 percent increase from last year until this year. That is strong growth that even the experts didn’t foresee. “Five years ago, if I or anyone had predicted today’s production growth, people would have thought we were crazy,” said Jim Burkhard, head of oil markets research at IHS CERA, an energy consulting firm. The recent growth in America’s oil production has placed the U.S. in the running for worldwide leader, a distinction that would have us pass Saudi Arabia and Russia, which have led the world for a decade.

The buyout also marks a serious retreat from an idea born in the West that held immense promise when the Soviet Union imploded two decades ago. … The oil industry sell-offs were slow, but in the first decade a dozen or so privatized companies emerged, often delivered into the hands of Russia’s rapacious oligarchs. The lofty ideals of privatization were sorely tested, and the results not pretty. Still, private ownership and capitalism produced results: Russia this year has hit new post-Soviet highs in crude oil production, more than 10.3?million barrels a day. Rosneft once ranked eighth among the Russian oil companies and was not privatized. In 1998, the year of a currency collapse and debt default, the government tried to sell off 75 percent of Rosneft for as little as $1.6 billion. There were no takers. But the little company gained a valuable ally. After taking office in 2000, Putin decided to push back the pesky oligarchs. He threw tycoon Mikhail Khodorkovsky in prison and crushed his oil major Yukos, the assets of which were scooped up by Rosneft. Today, Rosneft has a market capitalization of some $75 billion. What is happening here? … The consolidation of oil and power in the hands of the Kremlin casts a shadow over the once-bright prospects of the Russian economy. There’s little reason to hope that state ownership will work better for Russia now than it did the last time around.

DOONESBURY
The shortest politicial career in the history of man To all the political candidates who woke up yesterday morning on the losing side of things, let me say this much — I can relate. Also, nanny, nanny, boo-boo. Just kidding. I really have been there. I know the sting of watching the election results come in with high hopes, hoping you have motivated your constituents to get out and vote you into office, only to then know the sting of being rejected by the very same voters with whom you had hoped to curry favor. That’s right — for one brief moment in my life, I was a politician. It was what I like to refer to as my “second senior year” (I also sometimes referred to it as my “third junior year”) at The Ohio State University. I had neither the desire nor the grades to graduate at the time and begin my life as a productive member of society (still don’t, truth be told). I had also been told by my parents, however, they would no longer be footing the bill for my five-year journey through undergraduate life. So I began looking for a way to fund another year of school — without actually doing any work to get the money. That’s right around the same time I learned
David Fong Troy Daily News Executive Editor about The OSU Undergraduate Student Government presidency. Turns out that when the undergraduate student body at The Ohio State University elects a president and vice president, those two people receive free tuition for a year, a living stipend and choice parking passes (no small thing, as anyone who has ever tried to park on or near campus at Ohio State would tell you). When I heard about those perks, I immediately decided politics was the thing for me. Oh, and I also wanted to serve the student body and make my school a better place. Sort of. I suppose. The first thing I had to do was find a running mate. I immediately asked my best friend and fellow school newspaper columnist if she would be my running mate. I

mostly selected her because I had a secret crush on her and figured working on a campaign together would probably make us fall madly in love. I spent many late nights working with that incredibly intelligent, witty, beautiful young lady. And as is usually the case in such situations — nothing every happened between us. Anyway, our next order of business was coming up with a platform on which we would run. We came up with a strategic fivepoint plan (sound familiar?) Our platform boiled down to the following: “1) We want free tuition — for us. 2) We want free campus living — for us. 3) We want free parking — for us. 4) We want professional wrestler Ric Flair to speak at OSU’s spring commencement ceremonies. 5) We want beer to be served in the school cafeteria.” In other words, we became the first completely honest and open politicians in history. We made no pretensions about why we were running or why we wanted to win. We were up front with everyone. Since we were write-in candidates, we knew our chances of winning were slim — mostly because the type of voters we
were trying to reach couldn’t be motivated to actually remember our names, let alone go through the process of writing them in on a ballot. Still, though, we hoped our platform of complete transparency and forthrightness would be enough to carry the day. And how did honesty fare that election day? We got crushed. Sure, we set some sort of school record for most votes ever received by write-in candidates, but we still finished far out of the running. So, in the end, I didn’t get the position, I didn’t get the tuition and I didn’t get the parking pass. Heck, I didn’t even get the girl. Still, though, I learned a lot about politics (and love). I learned I wasn’t cut out for the political scene and I eventually found a girl who was willing to be my “First Lady.” (Who, it bears mentioning, bears a striking resemblance to Tiffany C. Miller — but let’s just chalk that up to coincidence). I’m done with politics. I’ll leave it to the politicians. At least they won’t have David Fong to kick around anymore. Troy’s very own David Fong appears on Thursdays in the Troy Daily News. He is not a crook.

OBITUARIES
Gary Eugene Counts PIQUA — Gary Eugene Counts, 62, of 675 W. Geiserman Road, Piqua, passed away at 7:15 a.m. Monday, Nov. 5, 2012, at his home. He was born Jan. 13, 1950, in Sidney, Ohio, the son of the late Wayne E. and Clarabelle (Denney) Counts. On Nov. 12, 1968, he married Mary Katheryn Scott, who survives along with five children, Dawn Pence and husband Darren, Tracy Forman and husband Charles, both of Sidney, Bradley Counts and wife Briana of Jacksonville, N.C., Matthew Counts of Piqua and Danielle Scherer and husband Derek of Sidney; step mother, Norma (Zweister) Middleton of Sidney; three siblings, Gloria Scherer and husband Rick of Sidney, Dennis Counts of New Mexico AP and David Counts and wife Shelley of In this Dec. 5, 1970, file photo, Texas coach Darrell Royal is carried from the field on Nevada; and 11 grandchildren, Kaitlyn the shoulders of his Longhorns following Texas' 42-7 triumph over Arkansas in and Samantha Forman, Elexis, Aliyah, Austin, Texas.

determined and so direct about things,” said former Texas quarterback James Street. “He was that way to the very end.” Royal and assistant Emory Ballard changed the football landscape in 1968 with the development of the wishbone, which features a fullback lined up behind the quarterback and a step in front of two other backs. The innovation nearly flopped. After a tie and loss in the first two games that season, a frustrated Royal inserted backup Street to take over. “Coach Royal grabbed me and he looked for a minute as if he were having second thoughts about putting me in. Then he looked me straight in the eye and said, ‘Hell, you can’t do any worse. Get in there,’” Street said Texas won its next 30 games. Soon, rival Oklahoma and other schools started using the wishbone as well. “The University of Oklahoma joins the rest of the nation in celebrating the life’s work of Darrell Royal,” said Oklahoma athletic director Joe Castiglione. “We’ve truly lost an icon a champion, an innovator and an educator.” The national title season in 1969 included what was dubbed the “Game of the Century,” a come-from-behind, 15-14 victory by the top-ranked Longhorns over No. 2 Arkansas to cap the regular season. In Texas lore, it ranks as the greatest game ever played. President Richard Nixon, an avid football fan, flew in by helicopter to watch. Afterward, Nixon greeted Royal with a plaque in the Texas locker room proclaiming Texas the national champion. The Longhorns also were named national champions by United Press International in 1970, a year in which Texas lost its final game to Notre Dame in the Cotton Bowl and finished 10-1. Royal faced criticism over the lack of black players on his first 13 Texas teams, although he had coached black players at Washington and in the Canadian football league. At the 1960 Cotton Bowl, Syracuse accused Texas of hurling racial barbs at Syracuse’s black players, which Royal denied. Texas became the first SWC school to announce it would fully integrate the athletic program in 1963, but the football team didn’t have a black letterman until Julius Whittier in 1970. Royal, who acknowledged being unconcerned about racial discrimination for much of his life, credited former President Lyndon B. Johnson with turning around his viewpoint. Johnson, who attended Texas football games after his presidency ended, was close friends with Royal. “I’m not a football fan,” Johnson once said. “But I am a fan of people, and I am a Darrell Royal fan because he is the rarest of human beings.” In 1972, former Texas lineman Gary Shaw published “Meat on the Hoof,” a searing critique of the Texas program that accused the coaches of having a class system within the program and of devising sadistic drills to drive off unwanted players. Royal tried to distance himself from the claims, saying in interviews he had “never heard” of the drills Shaw described. “I want to be remembered as a winning coach, but also as an honest and ethical coach,” Royal said in 1975. Royal was among the first football coaches in the nation to hire an academic counselor sometimes referred to as a “brain coach” in that era to ensure athletes went on to graduate. He also set aside a fund for a special “T” ring, which players received upon graduation. Royal also served as Texas athletic director from 1962-1979.

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — A son of Depression-era Oklahoma, Darrell Royal came to Texas to take over a sleeping giant of a football program. Over 20 years, his folksy approach to sports and life, his inventive wishbone offense and a victory in the “Game of the Century” where a U.S. president declared his team national champion made him an icon of college football. Royal, who won two national championships and turned the Longhorns into a national power, died early Wednesday at age 88 of complications from cardiovascular disease, school spokesman Bill Little said. Royal also suffered from Alzheimer’s disease. Royal didn’t have a single losing season in his 23 years as a head coach at Texas, Mississippi State and Washington. Known for their stout defenses and punishing running attacks, his Texas teams boasted a 167-47-5 record from 1957-1976, the best mark in the nation over that period. “It was fun,” Royal told The Associated Press in 2007. “All the days I was coaching at Texas, I knew this would be my last coaching job. I knew it when I got here.” It almost didn’t happen. Royal wasn’t Texas’ first choice. Texas was coming off a 1-9 season in 1956 still the worst in program history and wanted a high-profile coach to turn things around. The Longhorns were rebuffed by Georgia Tech’s Bobby Dodd and Michigan State’s Duffy Daugherty, but both coaches encouraged Texas to hire the 32-year-old Royal, who was lying in bed the night he got the call summoning him to Austin. “Edith, this is it, this is the University of Texas,” Royal told his wife. Royal led the Longhorns to a 6-3-1 record in his first season, but he was so sickened by Mississippi’s 39-7 thrashing of his team in the Sugar Bowl that he gave away the commemorative bowl watch he received. Under Royal, Texas won 11 Southwest Conference titles, 10 Cotton Bowl championships and national championships in 1963 and 1969, going 11-0 each time. The Longhorns also won a share of the 1970 national title, earning him a national stature that rivaled that of Alabama’s Paul “Bear” Bryant and Ohio State’s Woody Hayes. Royal was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1983. A public memorial ceremony is scheduled for noon Tuesday at the Frank Erwin Center basketball arena. Royal will be buried at the Texas State Cemetery in Austin, an honor typically reserved for the state’s military and political leaders. On Saturday, the Longhorns will honor Royal at their home game against Iowa State by wearing “DKR” stickers on their helmets and by lining up in the wishbone formation, which Royal used to such great success, for their first offensive snap. “Today is a very sad day. I lost a wonderful friend, a mentor, a confidant and my hero. College football lost maybe its best ever and the world lost a great man,” current Texas coach Mack Brown said Wednesday. “His counsel and friendship meant a lot to me before I came to Texas, but it’s been my guiding light for my 15 years here.” As a player at Oklahoma, Royal was a standout quarterback, defensive back and punter, and he credited hard work and luck for his success on the field and later as a coach. He had a self-deprecating style and a knack for delivering pithy quotes or “Royalisms” about his team and opponents. “Football doesn’t build character, it eliminates the weak ones,” was one of Royal’s famous lines. “Luck is when preparation meets opportunity,” was another. “He was a guy who was so strong and so

nights. Aunt Lovina wants us to come for dinner at her and her husband Abe’s house on Sunday. She told her children that live close by to come also. We also want to visit with Joe’s Uncle Solomon. He is still recuperating from an 11 foot fall while he was at work. And then we’ll visit Joe’s sister Esther and his brother, Benjamin. We look forward to seeing everyone again. The children are excited about going. Kevin asked if they have cougars or bears in Ohio. He said he hopes they do because he wants to see one. I imagine he would change his mind if he would ever see one up close. Next week we have someone coming to look at my grandfather’s clock. It hasn’t worked for quite a few years and we just never got it fixed. It will be nice to have it working again. It was a gift from Joe to me almost 20 years go.

ble-ply of bags is insurance in case a handle breaks. • Remove the rings that contain sets of measuring cups and spoons — each item is easier to use and clean. (Use the rings to organize recipe cards or as napkin holders.) • If a gas burner isn't lighting, try giving it a good scrubbing. Remove the grate, cap and burner unit (if there's a third removable part, that is) and clean using soapy water made with dish soap (do not use other cleaners, which may leave flammable residue). Use a paper clip to clean the burner openings; let dry completely. • Lightly wet the underside of a sheet of aluminum foil when lining a baking sheet. The water acts like glue and will help the foil lay flat. • When measuring sticky ingredients like honey, molasses or corn syrup, spray cups and
spoons with nonstick cooking spray for easy cleanup. • Save the feathery fronds from a bulb of fennel and use as an herb garnish on turkey or other meats to layer on some anise-spiked flavor. • In lieu of a roasting rack, use a crumpled wad of aluminum foil snaked around the pan to form grates. Spray with cooking oil to keep foods from sticking. • Pearl onions peel easily once blanched: Trim the ends of onions opposite the root end, then drop into boiling water for 2 minutes before draining. Once cool enough to handle, pinch the onion from the root end and it will slip right out of its skin. • Peel and slice potatoes up to one day in advance — keep them submerged in cold water so they don't discolor. Unless they're being boiled, remember to pat dry before using.

We have entered the 11th month of this year already. Where did time go so fast? Every year seems to go faster than the year before. A happy 40th birthday goes to my brother-in-law Jacob. His birthday was Nov. 1. It is a nice and sunny but cold day here in Michigan. Our thoughts and prayers are with the ones in New York and New Jersey who experienced such devastation from last week’s storm. Susan and I did the laundry and hung most of it in the basement. Susan hung some of it out on the line. We also hung dresses and shirts on hangers and then hung them on a chain on the porch. The breeze dries them really fast there. Yesterday we finally finished up with our painting. Most of it had been done, but we still needed to get some small places such as behind the stove and refrigerator. While we had everything pulled out, we gave the stove and refrigerator a thorough cleaning. Next on our list to do is clean out the cabinets and wash curtains and windows before the snow starts to fly. We have raked some of our leaves, but most of them have blown away or are gathered in piles by our out-building. Joe and the boys cleaned out the garden and tilled both on Saturday. That makes garden things for 2012 history now. I still do have some tomatoes and hot and green peppers left from the garden. Loretta has started therapy now. She also has the AFO braces, which are a lot more comfortable than the air cast. She has a splint that she has to wear during the night while she sleeps. Those are a little bit harder for her to get used to. Her therapy is weekly, but she does some every day at home. Some of the therapy she needs someone to help her with it. So far we are seeing good results from the surgery. We hope she will keep getting her strength back. We need to get busy packing because tomorrow we leave for Sugarcreek. We plan to stay until Sunday. We will sleep at Joe’s Uncle John and Susie’s house both

ANNIE’S MAILBOX
Check with a counselor, then figure out what your next move should be Dear Annie: I have been married to my husband for only one month, and he already has had a brief fling with a woman from his office. This caught me completely off guard. I thought we were happy, and I am pretty sure my husband enjoys being married to me. He always says I am much more than he deserves. I have repeatedly asked him why he would cheat on me. He says he needs more sex with different females to be satisfied. What should I do? — New Bride Dear New Bride: Your husband is telling you quite frankly that he needs more than one sexual partner. This means he is likely to cheat on you multiple times in the future. Unless this is your idea of a good marriage, we don't see much hope. Get checked for sexually transmitted diseases, and then see a counselor and figure out your next move. Dear Annie: I am in my mid20s, married with children. My mother lives with us. In fact, I've never lived without her, and now I want my family to have a place of our own. Having Mom here has been good because it helps cut expenses and she watches our kids. I love her so much, and she is my best friend, but I am really ready to do everything on my own. When I asked my mother about getting a separate place, it really hurt her. She cried because she wouldn't be with her grandchildren every day. She was so upset that I gave in and said maybe we should just get a bigger house. Annie, I don't want a bigger house. I want a small place with just my husband and children. We thought about getting a two-family home so Mom would be close by but separate. We can't afford a brand-new house, although we are saving for one. How can I get Mom to understand? — Lost in Mother's Feelings Dear Lost: You don't need Mom to understand. You are a married woman with a family. You are entitled to have a place of your own. Mom is never going to like it, but she can get used to it. And she will still see the grandchildren as often as you permit, which we suspect will be every day. And it won't be that easy for you, either, but it's time to cut the apron strings. Discuss this with your husband and form a united front. Then tell your mother that this is what you are going to do, you're sorry if she's upset, you love her and she is welcome to visit. Dear Annie: This is in response to "Trying To Avoid a Christmas Circus this Year," whose mother has been giving unequal gifts to the grandchildren. I have six grandchildren who receive different monetary gifts, and it has nothing to do with favoritism or need. I love them all equally, and their parents are well off financially. However, three of them are appreciative and send me thank-you notes. They are three sweet boys who love to hug and visit with me when I'm at their home. The other three, however, are spoiled and wouldn't know a thank-you note from a grocery list. They take my gifts for granted and barely say hello when I visit. I finally decided that I would give everyone presents and try to form relationships with all the grandkids, but would no longer serve as an ATM for the ungrateful, uncaring ones. As far as I'm concerned, a gift is something one chooses to give and should not be expected or judged. — Texas Dear Texas: Although you say it is not a matter of favoritism, you have, in fact, learned to favor those children who are affectionate and grateful (which is not surprising). Young children need to be taught manners. While the parents should be doing that job, you are also in a position to be their instructor. You will be giving them lessons that will serve them well in the future. Annie's Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

SUDOKU PUZZLE
HOW TO PLAY: Complete the grid so that every row, column and 3x3 box contains every digit from 1 to 9 inclusively. Find answers to today’s puzzle in tomorrow’s Troy Daily News. YESTERDAY’S SOLUTION:
HINTS FROM HELOISE
Should I make the bed or strip the sheets? Dear Heloise: When I stay at a friend’s home overnight, I casually make the bed I slept in the next morning. I don’t make it up perfectly, but I put everything back in place. Recently, a friend of mine invited me to her home overnight. I made the bed up the next morning. After the fact, this friend told me that she expects her guests to pull all the sheets and blankets off, leaving them for her to pick up later and launder. I never heard of such a thing. Maybe you have an opinion on the proper way to handle this. — Nancy in Ohio
Hints from Heloise Columnist My opinion is to ask your host, but like you, I usually “slightly” make the bed. I also do this every day that I’m there. I asked my good friend Peggy Post, etiquette expert, and she suggests asking hosts if you should strip the bed before doing it. A host may prefer that you do what you did and make
up the bed. Typically, removing used bedding is a courtesy to the host. Take everything off the bed and fold the sheets. Pull whatever covering is used up over the bare mattress and leave the folded sheets at the bottom of the bed. Readers, what do you think? Write and tell us what you do at Heloise/Guest, P.O. Box 795000, San Antonio, TX 78279-5000, or email Heloise(at)Heloise.com. — Heloise TOP OR BOTTOM Dear Heloise: Colored nail polish can yellow nails, so I’ve always tried to use a clear polish as a base coat.
A friend told me I should be using a specific clear polish for my base coat that differs from my top coat. Is this true? — Kensley in South Carolina Yes, you hit the nail on the head! A base coat is intended to make nail polish adhere to the nail. It’s a little sticky, so the colored polish attaches more easily. A top coat, on the other hand, seals the nail polish, making chipping less likely while adding shine. If you don’t feel like keeping track of which clear polish is which, you can find one that doubles as a base and a top coat. — Heloise

ARLO & JANIS
HOROSCOPE BY FRANCES DRAKE For Friday, Nov. 9, 2012 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Be patient and diplomatic in all your dealings with co-workers today. It’s too easy to lose it and then end up with egg on your face. (Not good.) TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) This is a classic day for lovers’ quarrels or meltdowns with your children. Be tolerant and patient to avoid saying or doing things you might later regret. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Domestic conflicts are likely today. However, it takes two to fight. Be patient with loved ones to promote peace in the family. (For your own good!) CANCER (June 21 to July 22) This is a mildly accident-prone day, but only because you might be impatient or angry. Accidents don’t have to occur if you guard against distractions or emotional upsets. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Quarrels about money or possessions might arise today. Ask yourself if any of this really will matter five years from now? Lighten up. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Today the Moon is in your sign at odds with fiery Mars. (That’s why others seem to have strong, volatile emotions and are easily quarrelsome.) Run for cover! LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) You might feel ill at ease or disgruntled about something today. Be comforted by the thought that this will pass quickly, so no biggie. If you’re patient with yourself and others, you can enjoy this day. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Disagreements with groups (or perhaps just a friend) might take place today. Quite likely, an element of competition or rivalry is at the bottom of this. (Be cool.) SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Don’t lock horns with bosses or anyone in a position of authority today, because it won’t do you any good. Why lose face over something so incidental? Chill out. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Avoid controversial subjects like politics, religion and racial issues, because people are quarrelsome today! Meaning, don’t go looking for a fight. Talk about the weather or other safe subjects. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Disputes about shared property, insurance matters, inheritances and debt might arise today. Best to postpone these for another day. (It’s not a pretty picture.) PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Be patient with partners and close friends today, because bickering and arguing are par for the course. Since you know this, why even go there? Be kind to yourself and others. YOU BORN TODAY Your energy is strong and very physical. You love your creature comforts and the good things in life. Although easily seduced by temptation, you acquire a philosophical wisdom as the years go by. You always like to be in control of things. Good news! Your year ahead might be one of the most powerful years of your life. Dream big! Birthdate of: Erika Mann, author/journalist; Gabrielle Miller, actress; Carl Sagan, astronomer.

TODAY IN HISTORY (AP) — Today is Thursday, Nov. 8, the 313th day of 2012. There are 53 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Nov. 8, 1932, New York Democratic Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt defeated incumbent Republican Herbert Hoover for the presidency. On this date: In 1889, Montana became the 41st state. In 1909, the original Boston Opera House first opened with a performance of “La Gioconda” by Amilcare Ponchielli. In 1913, the play “Woyzeck,” by
Georg Buchner, had its premiere in Munich, Germany, more than six decades after the playwright’s death. In 1923, Adolf Hitler launched his first attempt at seizing power in Germany with a failed coup in Munich that came to be known as the “Beer-Hall Putsch.” In 1942, Operation Torch, resulting in an Allied victory, began during World War II as U.S. and British forces landed in French North Africa. In 1950, during the Korean War, the first jet-plane battle took place as U.S. Air Force Lt. Russell J.
Brown shot down a North Korean MiG-15. In 1960, Massachusetts Sen. John F. Kennedy defeated Vice President Richard M. Nixon for the presidency. In 1972, the premium cable TV network HBO (Home Box Office) made its debut with a showing of the movie “Sometimes a Great Notion.” In 1980, scientists at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., announced that the U.S. space probe Voyager 1 had discovered a 15th moon orbiting the planet Saturn.
Republicans ask ‘Why?’ and ‘Where do we go from here?’ WASHINGTON (AP) — Having lost the popular vote in five of the last six presidential elections, Republicans plunged Wednesday into an intense period of self-examination, blame-setting and testy debate over whether their party needs serious change or just some minor tweaks. The fallout will help determine whether the GOP might return to heights approximating the Ronald Reagan years or, as some fear, suffer even deeper losses as the nation’s Democratic-leaning Hispanics increase in number. “The party is clearly in some sort of identity crisis,” said Rick Tyler, a past aide to former House Speaker Newt Gingrich. Hard-core conservatives, furious at President Barack Obama’s re-election in the face of a weak economy, called for a wholesale shift to resolutely right positions on social and fiscal matters. Some demanded that party leaders resign. Establishment Republicans largely shrugged off the tirades. But they split into two main camps themselves, portending potentially lengthy soul-searching, especially in Congress. One group calls for calm and a steady course. It emphasizes that the party still controls the House, and notes that Obama’s popular-
vote margin was smaller than in 2008. “The Republican Party is exactly right on the issues,” said Terry Holt, a veteran GOP strategist with close ties to House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio. The party mainly needs to nominate candidates who can relate to average Americans better than multimillionaire Mitt Romney did, Holt said. Some other Republicans, however, see bigger problems. The party must shed its “absolutism on issues like tax increases,” which congressional lawmakers oppose at virtually every level, said John Ullyot, a former Republican Senate aide. “The only way the party is going to move more to the middle is when we get sick of losing,” he said. That’s essentially what Democrats did in the 1990s. Demoralized after big losses by presidential nominees Walter Mondale and Michael Dukakis and still mindful of George McGovern’s 1972 disaster Democrats turned to a centrist Arkansas governor, Bill Clinton. He won two elections, repositioned the party and served as Obama’s top surrogate this fall. Some activists in both parties say Republicans eventually must follow suit to survive. But their primaries are dominated by staunch opponents of tax hikes, abortion, immigration reform and gov-
ernment regulations. Until and unless that changes, a shift toward the center may be impossible. “It’s harder for the Republicans, because they are more ideological than Democrats,” said Democratic strategist Doug Hattaway. “The religious fervor of the Republican base makes it hard to change or compromise, even though that’s what’s needed to remain viable as a party.” While Holt and others say the Republican Party is aligned with most Americans on big issues, Tuesday’s exit polls raise doubts in some areas. Six in 10 voters said abortion should be legal in all or most cases, the highest share saying so since the mid1990s. Two-thirds of voters said illegal immigrants working in the United States should be offered a chance to apply for legal status. Nearly half of all voters supported Obama’s plan to raise taxes on couples’ incomes above $250,000. Thirteen percent said taxes should be increased on all Americans, and 35 percent said no one should pay higher taxes. Boehner and Senate GOP Leader Mitch McConnell will stand at the center of the intra-party debate. Within days they must decide how to negotiate with Obama and Democratic lawmakers on the looming “fiscal cliff,” a pack-
age of major tax hikes and spending cuts scheduled for the new year. McConnell issued a defiant statement Wednesday. “The voters have not endorsed the failures or excesses of the president’s first term,” he said. “They have simply given him more time to finish the job they asked him to do together with a Congress that restored balance to Washington.” Boehner was more conciliatory in tone when he addressed reporters Wednesday. But he recommended Romney’s tax package including rate cuts for everyone and the elimination of yet-to-be-named deductions which he said would create a net increase in government revenue. Obama has insisted that the wealthiest Americans pay higher tax rates, as they did under Clinton. Many Democrats in Congress agree. Republican insiders, meanwhile, nervously focused on an approaching problem that could produce even bigger presidential losses in future years. The GOP relies overwhelmingly on white voters, a steadily shrinking share of the population. Hispanics, the nation’s fastest-growing group, have bristled at Republican attacks on illegal immigration, which some people consider a slap at all Latinos, legal or not.
AP
In this Sept 17 file photo, then-Republican presidential candidate, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, addresses the U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce in Los Angeles. Having lost the popular vote in five of six presidential elections, Republicans are plunging into intense self-examination. Republican campaign pros said the party must find a way to temper the talk about immigration without infuriating conservatives who oppose “amnesty” for those who entered the country illegally. “You can’t just say ‘If you fix the tone, you fix the problem,’” said Republican consultant Terry Nelson. “We have to figure out what kind of policy solutions we have for this.” Ullyot said congressional Republicans should embrace more lenient immigration policies immediately. On still another front, many Republicans said their
party must find ways to appeal to women, who voted heavily for Obama. The party cannot give people the impression that opposing abortion is its top womenrelated issue, said Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, R-Fla. “Single moms are part of our American fabric,” she said. “Let’s not keep thinking that the American family is made up of a mom and a dad and two kids and a picket fence and a dog and a cat. It’s made up of a lot of single moms struggling to make ends meet. … We need to get a program to say ‘we care about you.’”
Nashville considers flood protection measures NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — After a devastating flood in May 2010 caused more than $2 billion in damage to Metro Nashville, the city is preparing a plan to keep homes and businesses safe. WPLN-FM reports that possible projects range from a removable six-foot floodwall for the downtown that could cost tens of millions of dollars to simply having businesses elevate their inventory. But what actually gets done will depend on
cost. Officials presented some of their ideas to residents for feedback on Monday night in one in a series of planned meetings around town. In residential neighborhoods, the city is considering more buyouts where the government buys a home and then tears it down, leaving the lot as permanent open space. In places where damage was not as bad, some homes could be elevated by a few feet.
“A home that might have three steps to get into might end up with twelve steps to get into, in order to raise it up above the base flood elevation,” said Shannon Lambert, a local engineer working with Metro on the project. But in most of Nashville’s 22 identified flood zones, Lambert said flood-proofing was probably the best alternative, according to The Tennessean. That includes raising utility and power lines and having
businesses raise their product inventory. “The thing that makes it feasible is the lower cost to people,” he said. “It also generally doesn’t require a long permit process to go there.” Lambert also said flood-proofing would have the fewest social and environmental effects. The next step will be studying the feasibility of specific projects, using money from both Metro and the Army Corps of Engineers.
Lambert said it could be several more years before the projects are funded and implemented. City officials also presented an online emergency notification system called the Nashville Emergency Response Viewing Engine, or NERVE. According to The Tennessean, the NERVE website provides information ranging from evacuation sites and road closures to directions to the nearest shelter during a disaster.

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.

No good answer Vikings solid across the board BY JOSH BROWN Sports Editor jbrown@tdnpublishing.com Allison Morrett — Miami East’s libero — knows a few things about playing defense. When asked how she would go about stopping the Viking offense, though, she couldn’t come up with a good answer. That’s alright. No one else — not even the two teams that picked up wins against the Vikings — has the past two STAFF FILE PHOTO/ANTHONY WEBER years. Miami East’s Abby Cash (40) and Ashley Current (32) go up for a “Apparently, it’s pretty hard,” block during a match this season. Morrett said.

CLEVELAND (AP) — The season is barely a week old and the Cleveland Cavaliers are already down two big men. Rookie Tyler Zeller returned to Cleveland on Wednesday for further evaluation after sustaining a concussion and broken cheekbone when Los Angeles Clippers center DeAndre Jordan elbowed him in the face in the Cavs’ 108-101 win Monday night. In that same game, center Anderson Varejao bruised his right knee in the first quarter. Varejao played through the pain on adrenaline but his knee swelled up later. He sat out Cleveland’s game at the Golden State Warriors on Wednesday night because of soreness. Cavs coach Byron Scott said it’s unclear when either will return. “Tyler was playing great. We know how Andy was playing, unbelievable. You lose not only two of your best players, you lose your size as well,” Scott said before his team faced the Warriors. “Again, we just got other guys who are going to come in and try to pick up the slack for what both those guys brought to the table.” With Varejao sidelined, Scott started Samardo Samuels at forward and Tristan Thompson at center against Golden State. Both are expected to play more minutes at center while Varejao and Zeller are out. Varajeo has averaged 14 points and 15 rebounds in four games this season. As if his loss wasn’t enough of a setback, news earlier in the afternoon handed Cleveland another blow. Zeller was hit under the left eye by Jordan with 5:39 left in the fourth quarter against the Clippers. X-rays taken after the game in Los Angeles were negative, but a CT scan performed in San Francisco revealed a non-displaced fracture of his left orbital cheekbone. The first-round pick from North Carolina has been placed in the NBA’s concussion protocol process. He will have to be cleared by a league doctor before he can resume practicing or playing. The Cavs said there is “no specific timeline” for Zeller’s return and that he will continue to be monitored and evaluated.

Bengals look to snap skid vs. another Manning Kent State closing in on Top 25 showing Alabama coach Nick Saban is elated by a team that’s bowl eligible, leads the nation in turnover margin, just knocked off a hated rival and has an entire campus buzzing. No, not his top-ranked Crimson Tide. Kent State has made him proud. See Page 16.
CINCINNATI (AP) — Peyton Manning came to town last weekend and had his way, sending the Bengals to their fourth straight loss by throwing three touchdown passes. Now, it’s little brother’s turn to try to push Cincinnati one loss closer to a lost season. Eli Manning and the New York Giants (6-3) come to Paul Brown Stadium on Sunday looking to extend the family’s history of success against Cincinnati. Peyton improved to 8-0 against the Bengals by leading Denver to a 31-23 win last Sunday.
Eli is 1-1 career against the Bengals (3-5), who have lost their last three home games. “This week with this Manning, we’ve got to do those things we didn’t do last week with the last Manning,” defensive end Carlos Dunlap said. The back-to-back visits by the Mannings were set up by the schedule rotation. The NFC East plays the AFC North this season, giving Eli a chance to face Cincinnati. And the AFC North plays the AFC West, Peyton’s new place. And they’re taking full advan-
tage. Peyton and Eli talked by phone on Tuesday about their most recent games the Giants lost to Pittsburgh at home on Sunday afternoon. Peyton shared some of his firsthand insights into the Bengals defense, which couldn’t hold a fourth-quarter lead. “So, Eli, we’ve been resources for each other,” Peyton said. “And certainly I pull hard for him and keep up with him and we encourage each other.” The two of them talk a couple of times each week, soon after
the last game and then again a few days before the next one. They catch up on their personal lives and trade tips and ideas about the teams they’ll be playing. Their back-to-back games against the Bengals gave Peyton a chance to provide an in-depth scouting report. “We have a little bit different style of offense, but there always might be a tip or two that you might have eventually found but coming in, you can look for certain things,” Eli said Wednesday

Bulldogs ■ CONTINUED FROM 14 have been playoff-bound had it not been for the Bulldogs. “Our (schedule) really prepares us,” Milton-Union coach Bret Pearce said. “We face a number of schools that are bigger than us in Oakwood, Tipp and Bellbrook. We go against a number of teams like Waynesville and Carlisle who are always in the thick of things. I think we see good coaching in our league, and that means you have to be ready every week.” Last week in the opening round of the playoffs, the Bulldog’ defense shut down a talented Williamsport Westfall offense, ending the game with three interceptions and five sacks. The Milton
offense — which was led by running backs Tyler Brown (236 yards, three TDs), Joe Thoele (115 yards, TD), David Karns (96 yards, two TDs) and a sturdy, physical O-line — grinded out 483 yards on the ground in a 46-14 win. As a result, the Bulldogs are one of four teams remaining in the Division IV Region 16 bracket. The seventh-seeded MiltonUnion team will play No. 3 Norwood in the regional semifinals Friday at 7:30 p.m. at Fairmont High School. “We feel really good (to be in this position),” Pearce said. “We think we’re getting better week by week. We’re not ready for this to end. We’re going to be the only team in Dayton playing on Friday night, so
we’re expecting a good crowd Friday.” The Indians (10-1) enter the game averaging 28.7 points per game on offense and giving up just 9.4 points on defense. Norwood’s defense has been a big reason for its success this year, only allowing opponents to hit double figures on five occasions. One of the key storylines in this game will be Milton’s ground-and-pound attack on offense — which has averaged 40.6 points a game — against a Norwood defense that hasn’t given up much this year. “It’s hard to say (if Norwood can stop us),” Pearce said. “They don’t really play teams that are built like us. But like I said, they’re athlectic and fly to

Norwood suffered its only setback of the season to Mariemont on Sept. 17, losing 15-12. Since then, the Indians have won eight
in a row, including a 39-29 shootout over Western Brown (8-2) in Week 10 and a narrow 21-14 victory over Bishop Fenwick (8-3) in the opening round of the playoffs. “They have a lot of speed and athleticism. They are quick,” Pearce said. “They fly to the football on defense. “They play eight kids both sides of the ball. Hopefully we can stay close in the first and third, and in the second and fourth we can take advantage of them. Hopefully we can wear them down with them going both ways.” But until last week, the Indians hadn’t beaten a playoff team. The Bulldogs, however, have been beating quality teams all season.

Miami East’s Angie Mack serves against Taylor in the Division III District title game this season. ■ CONTINUED FROM 14 has reached the highest level in much the same fashion that it did last year — by being diverse and strong in every facet of the game, by not riding any one, two or even three players and by having talented, smart and capable players at every position on the floor and bench. “You can only be as good as the sum of your parts — and all of our parts have worked hard to be really good,” Miami East coach John Cash said. But it’s the way every last one those parts work together that makes the Vikings truly scary. It all starts with the defense and serve-receive game, where senior Allie Millhouse — the career leader in digs — and Morrett — who earned honorable mention AllOhio this season — key things. Their hustle and ability keeps the Vikings in their offense even during long rallies, and winning those long points has become one of Miami East’s calling cards. “The girls do a great job of preparing themselves mentally first and physically second,” Cash said. “And that’s why we can get into those long points and battle

We know that something will happen where we’ll make a play or you’ll make a mistake and we’ll end up scoring the point. “A lot of teams this year have looked and said ‘how did they beat us?’ Last year, too. And it’s that mental toughness and physical ability to finish.” From there, the ball goes to one of the Vikings’ two setters, Abby and Sam Cash. Both are multi-tool players that can put the ball wherever they want from anywhere on the court, either setting or hitting. Abby Cash, another of the team’s three seniors, was the Cross County Conference Player of the Year, and both her and Sam Cash earned first team AllOhio honors this season. From there, the ball could go to literally anyone. Abby Cash, in addition to being the career leader in assists, is the school’s career leader in kills, and
fellow outside hitters Sam Cash, Angie Mack and Trina Current can put the ball away, too. Or they could go to senior Leah Dunivan — who was honorable mention All-Ohio — or Ashley Current in the middle. And no matter who’s setting it up or putting it down, the Vikings are solid across the board. “Especially with the hitters we have, we know the hitters can handle it really well,” Sam Cash said of the rare two-setter offense. “It’s pretty much the same whoever sets it,” Mack said. “It’s not like you have to adjust your approach if Sam sets it or Abby does. Both do a great job.” “It’s all about having faith and trust in your teammates,” Millhouse said. Even the reserve players are a necessary part of the machine — whether or not they get on the floor in
a match. “We have to have someone on the other side of the net in practice, or we won’t grow,” Dunivan said. “They help push us and prepare us.” “I believe any one of them could play — even start — for any other team,” Abby Cash said. “All the way down to the last person, when we pull people up, the same expectations follow that are on the starters,” John Cash said. “When we put someone in, we expect you to perform. That’s your job. And they understand that. They’ve had great people to look up to so far as work ethic. “They’ve filled their roles. If we need someone to step up and score, they can do it. If we need someone to play great defense, they can do it. And each one of them knows that — that’s the cool part.” And what makes the Vikings so hard to beat.

Golden Flashes back on main stage KENT (AP) — Alabama coach Nick Saban is elated by a team that’s bowl eligible, leads the nation in turnover margin, just knocked off a hated rival and has an entire campus buzzing. No, not his top-ranked Crimson Tide. Kent State has made him proud. “It is my alma mater,” said Saban, class of ‘73. For the first time since Saban played safety on a Golden Flashes squad that included Hall of Fame linebacker Jack Lambert, Kent State (8-1) has climbed back onto college football’s main stage. In its second year under coach Darrell Hazell, Kent State has won seven straight games and is knocking on the door of the AP’s Top 25. With a signature road win two weeks ago at Rutgers (ranked No. 15 at the time) and their longest
winning streak in 72 years, the Golden Flashes have raised the school’s profile, given the underrated MidAmerican Conference something else to brag about and brought excitement to the quaint campus about 40 miles from Cleveland. “It’s crazy,” senior defensive end Jake Dooley said. “It’s amazing what we came into and what we’re leaving with. A lot of that is due to Coach Hazell. He has really turned the program around in a respectable way. Teachers now congratulate me when I come into classes. That’s something that has never happened before. The environment around campus is totally different now than what it was. It’s great. “We have to keep it going.” Hazell deserves much of the credit for Kent State’s turnaround. An assistant for seven
years on Jim Tressel’s staff at Ohio State, the confident Hazell inherited a program that had just six winning seasons since 1974 and hasn’t been to a bowl since the 1972 Tangerine. The Golden Flashes started 1-6 last season, and just when a herewe-go-again attitude was beginning to take root, Kent State got hot. Hazell, a New Jersey native, got his players to believe. He put an emphasis on the running game, and the Golden Flashes took off, winning four of their last five and played for bowl eligibility in the season finale. Five of Kent State’s opponents last season went on to win their bowls, including Saban’s national championship squad at Alabama. “You could feel something change then,” Hazell said, looking back to 2011. “There was a quiet confidence in our locker room. Now, it’s a lot louder. Guys
are having fun. It’s a lot louder in the stands, too. I wear double headsets, but I can see the passion from the fans. And you can just feel it, too. Fans are coming out of the woodwork and I love it.” Before last Saturday’s matchup with Akron, fans tailgated around Dix Stadium, where loud music echoed in the distance and fireworks exploded during player introductions, again after a go-ahead 30-yard touchdown run by speedy junior running back Dri Archer and following a 3524 win over the despised Zips in the annual tussle for the Wagon Wheel trophy. Slowly, fans are returning each Saturday to watch football at Kent State, which in recent years has produced NFL stars James Harrison, Antonio Gates and Josh Cribbs, but hasn’t had many teams worth celebrating.
■ CONTINUED FROM 14 on a conference call. “So we definitely talked a little bit.” What they shared stayed private, but some of it isn’t hard to guess: Watch out for cornerback Terence Newman and expect a better effort out of a defensive line that hardly even touched Peyton. The Broncos quarterback threw a pair of interceptions both to Newman, one of them in the end zone that helped the Bengals pull ahead early in the fourth quarter. Peyton pulled it out with his 48th game-winning drive, the most in NFL history. The Bengals didn’t sack Peyton and hardly touched him with their four-man rush. “If you look at Peyton’s career, he never gets touched,” Dunlap said. “That’s Peyton. His scheme is for him to never touch the ground. We still want to get to him and get him down and touch him, but I didn’t really get a lick on him. “Last week we didn’t get to Peyton, and this week we’ll do everything we can to get to Eli.”
Defensive tackle Geno Atkins put it more bluntly. “We have to get after the quarterback,” Atkins said. “We didn’t do that the last game, but this game there’s going to be an emphasis on trying to rattle him.” The Broncos and Giants run different types of offenses. Peyton makes more decisions at the line of scrimmage and gets rid of the ball fast. Eli’s Giants take more chances with the long pass, leaving the quarterback in play a few seconds longer. Newman, who faced Eli regularly when he played in the same division with the Cowboys, sees similarities between him and his brother. “He’s like any great quarterback,” Newman said. “You’ve got Peyton, you’ve got Tom Brady, you’ve got Drew Brees. Those guys study the game. They know how to get the ball out. They’re not just going to drop back and say ‘Hey, I’m going to go to this guy.’ They know where to put the football, and when to deliver it. “He’s got all those qualities.”

NHL talks will resume today NEW YORK (AP) — Negotiations between the NHL and the locked-out players’ association ended after nearly six hours Wednesday. Just as they did a night earlier, the sides agreed to get right back to the bargaining table. Representatives for the owners and players will resume talks today, marking the third straight day they will meet face-to-face. NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly and union special counsel Steve Fehr also met alone Saturday when in-person talks restarted for the first time since Oct. 18. The sides met for a total of about 13 hours over Tuesday and Wednesday at an undisclosed location in New York. Neither side offered any details of what was discussed on Wednesday. “The NHLPA and the NHL met today to discuss many of the key issues,” NHLPA executive director Donald Fehr said in a statement. “We look forward to resuming talks (Thursday).” Daly also was reserved after the talks ended for the day. “Not providing any specifics on today’s meetings,” Daly said in an email to The Associated Press. On the 53rd day of the lockout, the sides discussed revenue sharing between teams and held talks on the “make-whole” provision, which involves the
payment of player contracts that are already in effect. Those hot-button topics are scheduled to be on Thursday’s agenda, too. Eight players were in attendance for Wednesday’s talks, but a handful of players including Pittsburgh Penguins captain Sidney Crosby who took part Tuesday left New York to try to avoid an impending storm that brought snow to the area, the union said. There was already common ground before negotiations began Tuesday. The players’ union adhered to the league’s request to keep the meeting location a secret. With no outside distractions, the sides talked from afternoon until night. Once they broke for the day, neither side gave any hint of what was discussed or if progress was made, but both pointed to the next round of talks. Steve Fehr met with Daly on Saturday, and neither provided many details of what was discussed, but both agreed that the meeting was productive. Time is becoming a bigger factor every day a deal isn’t reached. The lockout, which went into effect Sept. 16 after the previous collective bargaining agreement expired, has already forced the cancellation of 327 regular-season games including the New Year’s Day outdoor Winter Classic in Michigan.
