County commission to be investigated Ohio Auditor’s Office, Ohio Ethics Commission expected to be involved in probe

BY WILL E SANDERS Ohio Community Media wsanders@dailycall.com The Ohio Auditor’s Office and the Ohio Ethics Commission are expected to investigate the office of the Miami County Commissioners concerning the mishandling and bypassing of the competitive bidding process for several county projects totaling millions over the past sever-

TROY al years, along with other circumstances, according to an investigation by the Miami County Sheriff’s Office.

The sheriff’s office released a series of taped interviews with Miami County commissioners John “Bud” O’Brien, Jack Evans, Dick Cultice, and Leigh Williams, commission clerk/administrator, at the

conclusion of Jarrod Harrah’s sentencing hearing Monday for his convictions of theft in office, tampering with records and tampering with evidence.

What began as a scrap metal investigation involving Harrah, who headed the county’s maintenance department, and his fellow employees soon grew into an investigation that questioned how the county obtained contracts with Waibel Energy Systems and Tremco Roofing,

which totaled in the millions of dollars.

While the commissioner’s office was cleared of any criminal wrongdoing, the sheriff’s office interviewed county commissioners during the course of Harrah’s investigation concerning the “procurement of contracts.” The interviews came after learning Waibel provided numerous “gifts and gratuities” totalling more than

Monday for his convictions stemming from his misusing and stealing publicly-owned property and funds. Harrah’s former team leader, Bruce Ball, 61, of Troy, was convicted and sentenced to six months probation and five days in jail in September.

Charges were never brought against three other maintenance workers placed on suspension in May, and of those only one has been reinstated.

Detectives seized truckloads of materials from Harrah, which either belonged to the county or were purchased with county money. Some of the items included lawnmowers, chainsaws, leaf blowers, weed eaters, edgers, power tools, hand tools, expensive bowling shirts, a $400 shower head, composite saws, water heaters, cabinets, car parts, custom-made windows and Harrah even kept a slush fund in a safe from county scrap metal that was sold totaling about $1,200.

Harrah also had car repairs from a Troy mechanic who has since been charged with tampering with evidence because the repairs were billed to the county.

Another man is expected to be charged with helping Harrah hide some of the equipment.

More than $18,000 worth of county owned or purchased items were recovered from Harrah’s residence.

Lord said authorities may never learn the extent of Harrah’s actions.

“I don’t know if we’re ever going to have a true picture of how bad it was,” he said.

In his 125-page report, also released this week, Lord summarized the entire investigation.

“Assets were not properly tracked, records as to expenditures were falsified, theft and unauthorized usage of county property occurred, gifts and gratuities were solicited and received from vendors, frauds were perpetrated by contractors, and questionable contract procurements were conducted.”

The investigation by the sheriff’s office will now be turned over to the state auditor’s office and the ethics commission.

Honors • CONTINUED FROM 1 Koverman said it was in the early years in the late 1960s that he set up his one room office in downtown Troy on North Market Street with only his college desk, a card table and a telephone “which didn’t ring very much.” Following his mother’s advice, he sought out making connections in the community, starting first with his membership in the Troy Optimist Club.

“Bill Lukens took me under his wing and introduced me to a lot of people,” Koverman said.

Koverman credited his wife of 47 years Ruth, who was his office’s first secretary in the one room office.

Koverman said he was so fortunate to know many of past recipients of the Distinguished Citizen award.

“The Troy community has been extremely kind and good to me,” Koverman said.

Koverman expressed the outpouring support he felt from the Troy community after his grandson had open heart surgery multiple times and a few years ago held a parade in their neighborhood.

concerning the umentation Waibel bid contracts, which even commissioners admitted.

Cultice told Lord he never saw documentation and relied on Harrah since he was the one bringing the commissioners the information.

“I thought we were doing the right thing,” Cultice said. “I know I haven’t intentionally done anything out of line. … We are going to make sure we have some checks and balances sitting in that office over there. This was not documented well.”

In his interview with Lord, Harrah said Waibel had a bigger picture with the gifts they provided him.

“The bigger picture was to try to get all of the county buildings underneath a central HVAC operating system” in “an attempt to procure more work.” Harrah also claimed the gifts from Waibel were “gifts to the county.”

The $15,000 in gifts and other gratuities from Waibel to Harrah included a free HVAC system, two televisions, an Apple iPad, a laptop computer, a digital thermostat, flooring, more than a hundred dollars worth of pizza and Reds baseball tickets.

Once the ethics commission begins their investigation they will turn part of their attention to Waibel for possible violations.

Lord said the investigation found procurements that bypassed the competitive bidding process by millions of dollars, using the figure $4.6 million at one point during the interviews.

“That will be something, when the auditor comes in, it is not going to end real favorable,” Lord told Williams in another taped interview, though noting that since the county discovered the problem first the penalty by the auditor’s office “won’t be as severe.”

Williams told Lord she thought “we did everything clean.”

“It wasn’t done by Ohio law,” Lord said.

Harrah, 40, formerly of Troy but now residing in New Carlisle, was sentenced to one year in prison and given a $7,500 fine

BUSINESS ROUNDUP

$15,000 to Harrah and learned Waibel was later awarded millions of dollars worth in contracts for projects that were not competitively bid out, which is against state law.

The inquiry also found the county used Tremco Roofing for several projects in the past five years, including putting a new roof at the job and family services building, that were never properly bid out. The investigation found the county had been overcharged approximately $510,000 by using Tremco when compared to lower quotes offered by another contractor that was not awarded the work.

In the taped interviews, the commissioners told the investigator, sheriff’s Lt. Detective Steve Lord, they based some of their decisions on the information supplied to them by Harrah and all denied any knowledge of Harrah’s activities.

In fact, O’Brien said he was surprised when he and Williams went to the maintenance department’s office, which is in the old county power plant located behind the courthouse, and found the structure refurbished, complete with a 70-inch TV Harrah claimed was a graphical interface for a HVAC system.

The commission approved the purchase of neither, nor were they aware of the office refurbishment at all, which Harrah claimed to O’Brien was performed with scrap and leftover materials from other jobs.

The power plant received a new heating and cooling system, two bathrooms, drywall, plumbing, flooring and electrical work, all either given to Harrah or purchased by Harrah without the knowledge of the commissioners, who joked that the building should be called the “Taj MaHarrah.”

One way Harrah, a former Troy City Council member, obtained county money for his own personal purchases involved padding purchase orders and over-estimating intentionally jobs. One example Lord gave was

Harrah obtaining a county purchase order for $3,500 for an office remodelling at the Hobart Center for County Government, spending just $600 of it and using the remainder to buy a slew of equipment or for unapproved renovations at the maintenance department’s office.

“I, personally, did not have knowledge of what was happening over there,” O’Brien said during his taped interview.

O’Brien, who is chairman of the Miami County Republican Party, and Evans both told investigators the owner of Waibel Energy Systems, Dave Waibel, had contributed campaign funds to them in the past, attended fundraisers with the commissioners and Evans also said he has played golf with Dave Waibel before. Both men properly documented those campaign contributions on elections paperwork, the investigation found.

Evans said some contracts were awarded based on information provided to them by Harrah and commissioners “reacted with what we were told.” All three commissioners said they were unaware of the Waibel gifts to Harrah and never accepted any gifts from Waibel themselves.

“We know better than to take that stuff,” Evans said during his interview. “You can’t do it. It’s just silly to. … It’s just not worth it.”

Evans also said he now understands the commissioners office mishandled several no-bid contracts and that the state auditor and the ethics commission will be looking into the matter.

“If we get hammered on it, we get hammered on it,” Evans admitted to Lord. “I fully expect to get some backlash because of lack of institutional control, and perhaps now this situation on the bidding. It was always our understanding that it was OK, but apparently we were wrong.”

The auditor’s office or the ethics commission could level administrative code violations against the commissioner’s office as a result of their investigation, according to Lord, and further complicating the matter is the commissioner’s office lack of doc-

EDITORIAL ROUNDUP Union-Tribune, San Diego, on Libya: What did President Barack Obama know and when did he know it? Why has the Obama administration kept changing its story about how Ambassador Chris Stevens, security officials Tyrone Woods of Imperial Beach and Glen Doherty of Encinitas, and information officer Sean Smith, who grew up in San Diego, died on Sept. 11 in Benghazi, Libya? Why won’t the mainstream media treat the incontrovertible evidence of the White House’s dishonesty and incompetence like the ugly scandal it obviously is?

These are all questions that demand to be answered after revelations that demolished the tidy narrative the president has been offering about Benghazi.

Until recently, the White House had taken a moderate hit over the fact that for two weeks after it happened, officials had fostered the impression that the four Americans were killed Sept. 11 in a spontaneous protest triggered by a blasphemous anti-Islam video posted on YouTube — not by a coordinated terrorist attack on the 11th anniversary of As I 9/11.

The two-month pilot program seems to be a smart and responsible improvement over the current deportation policy, one that could save lives and bolster border security. If it proves effective, it should be quickly extended.

Under the temporary initiative, the United States will pay about $1.1 million to fly deportees from El Paso, Texas, to Mexico City.

Mexico will then shoulder the cost of bus fare to return them to their hometowns in the interior of the country, and provide food to them during their journey.

No doubt, some critics will argue that the safety of Mexican deportees is Mexico’s problem, and that the United States shouldn’t incur any costs on their behalf.

That’s shortsighted.

Repatriating migrants closer to their homes and farther from the border would not only protect them, it would also discourage many Mexicans from immediately attempting to recross illegally into the United States.

Dumping migrants in border towns where they have no roots and few prospects for surviving carries a price for both countries.

The United States has a responsibility to protect its border and deport those who violate its laws. But it also has a duty to ensure that those who are repatriated aren’t put in danger. The new program seems to offer an effective way to enforce this country’s immigration laws.

DOONESBURY

How I bungled an election worse than Florida Over the years, election night has become somewhat of a family affair for our little newsroom.

I always enjoy the traditional walk to the courthouse just a few blocks away. I enjoy watching the Boy Scouts who volunteer drag in the ballots.

Although my voting experience this time around was exciting, it still was far from smooth.

Despite having more confidence than most after writing several voting previews, being well-versed on the two state issues, a school levy and countless candidates for office, I somehow managed to hold up the rest of my fellow voters.

Yep folks! It was me who held up the line in the middle of the day on Election Day. Of course I walked by the Miami County Courthouse and its board of elections office a million times a day for the last 35 days of early voting. But I didn’t want to vote early, I wanted to leave everything to the last minute because, well, I could and that’s just human nature.

I do my best work under pressure, folks.

With all this talk about voter fraud, and memories of the hundreds of faceless people or dead

Melanie Yingst Troy Daily News Columnist people voting in the 1960s, there will always be a fear of someone voting twice.

You see, I’m the queen of a million addresses due to my once vagabond life. The address on my license doesn’t match my home address, my checks still list my parents’ address and I’m sure those who have taken my place in various apartments around the county are enjoying my issues of Pottery Barn.

But I was prepared! I had my license with my now-defunct address, but I also had a back-up plan.

I had personally asked Mrs. Bev Kendall, interim election board president, what other I.D. I would need to accompany my rogue photo I.D. She listed several examples of

paperwork, including cell phone bills, utility bills and payroll check.

Once again, I am one of those people who could probably disappear without a trace because I have a small paper trail.

I don’t have a utility bill in my name at my current residence. My electric and heating bill has been built in my rent check. I also don’t have a cell phone bill because it is in a family plan under someone else’s name.

So my paycheck, printed off from a computer because we have direct deposit, was the form I used. Lord help me if I was jobless or received cash.

The problem came about due to the lady not knowing what “box” to check on the roll since it wasn’t a utility bill, government check, etc.

In my mind I’m screaming: Pick a box! Any box! C’mon!

Being a thorough and just poll worker, she had to holler at someone in the back to see what box my secondary identification would best suit the criteria.

So, by virtue, I was “That Girl” who came to the polls on Election Day to really test the knowledge of the volunteers and poll workers.

And then there were five people at the table and someone had already checked my name off the list as I walked to the machines.

Now I was being accused of already voting. I assured them that I wouldn’t have put myself through this pain twice.

As I felt my face turn red, I just kept on walking, leaving them to sort their own mess out.

Despite the many setbacks, I was able to finish my selections in a timely manner Tuesday.

As I exited the church, I couldn’t help but think “No wonder people just avoid voting all together. Something so simple now is so complicated.”

Why do we continue to make things harder on ourselves? It’s no wonder no one has faith in our election process.

There were too many cooks in the kitchen on Election Day at my polling precinct. Let’s hope the next time around I’ll have my license changed (at $35 a pop) and our poll workers get a little more training on how to deal with renegades like me.

Frustration mounts over power outages FARMINGDALE, N.Y. (AP) — Vincent Pina finally saw a couple of utility trucks coming down his street Thursday and started to wave in anticipation. But they just cruised past his house and kept on going.

He hung his head in resignation.

“The thing that gets me the most is that there is no flood damage. I don’t have any branches down. I have no wires down,” said the Long Islander, who put a hand-painted sign out front that read: “Still No Power.”

So why, he wondered, was it taking so long to get electricity?

A week and a half after Superstorm Sandy slammed the coast and inflicted tens of billions of dollars in damage, hundreds of thousands of customers in New York and New Jersey are still waiting for the electricity to come back on, and lots of cold and tired people are losing patience. Some are demanding investigations of utilities they say aren’t working fast enough.

An angry New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo joined the calls for an investigation Thursday, ripping the utilities as unprepared and badly managed.

“Privately I have used language my daughters couldn’t hear,” he fumed. He added: “It’s unacceptable the longer it goes on because the longer it goes on, people’s suffering is worse.”

The power companies have said they are dealing with damage unprecedented in its scope and doing the best they can. And there is no denying the magnitude of what they have done: At the peak, more than 8.5 million homes and businesses across 21 states lost power. As of Thursday, that was down to about 750,000, almost entirely in New York and New Jersey.

And that’s after a nor’easter overnight knocked out power to more than 200,000 customers in New York and New Jersey, erasing some of the progress made by utility crews.

“We lost power last week, just got it back for a day or two, and now we lost it again,” said John Monticello of Point Pleasant Beach, N.J. “Every day it’s the same now: Turn on the gas burner for heat. Instant coffee. Use the iPad to find out what’s going on in the rest of the world.”

The mounting criticism came as New York City and Long Island followed New Jersey’s lead and announced odd-even gasoline rationing to deal with fuel shortages and long lines at gas stations; the Federal Emergency Management Agency started bringing mobile homes into the region; and Cuomo said the storm

Living through another night of possibly freezing temperatures, Michael Pineda, fifteen months old, stands bundled up near a battery operated lantern in his home without power or heat in the Rockaway Park neighborhood in the Queens borough of New York, Thursday, in the wake of Superstorm Sandy. could cost New York State alone $33 billion.

New Jersey did not have a damage estimate of its own, but others have put Sandy’s overall toll at up to $50 billion, making it the second most expensive storm in U.S. history, behind Hurricane Katrina, which swamped New Orleans in 2005.

Sandy killed more than 100 people in 10 states, with most of the dead in New York and New Jersey.

The power industry’s defenders have pointed out that Sandy was huge and hit the nation’s most densely populated corridor. By the Energy Department’s reckoning, it left more people in the dark than any other storm in U.S. history.

It did more than knock down power lines; it flooded switching stations and substations, forcing workers to take apart hundreds of intricate components, clean them, replace some of them, rewire others and put it all back together.

Only after these stations are reenergized can workers go out and repair lines.

In Rockaway Beach in Queens, crews worked Thursday to inspect the flooded, muck-filled utility tunnels that carry current. Before they descended into the manholes, Ed Sellman used a 3,400-gallon vacuum truck to suck up the sand coating the subterranean cables.

“We try to get it clean, so when they go down there to do the inspections, they can see and aren’t working in mud like pigs,” Sellman said.

Around the region, though, customers were frustrated and in some cases furious, complaining that they were being left in the dark about when power would be restored.

Ralph Barone of Staten Island said he saw a Consolidated Edison crew in his neighborhood on Thursday for the first time since Sandy killed the power.

“The problem is that they won’t tell you anything about when the electricity will come back,” he said. “My wife is freezing. You need a flashlight to use the bathroom. It gets old.”

Barone works assembling meters for another power company, “so I understand it’s a big job,” he said. “But nine days is too long.”

New York’s Democratic governor blasted the utilities as “nameless, faceless” monopolies that weren’t up to the job, complaining: “They ran out of poles, believe it or not. … How do you run out of poles?”

“The management has failed the consumers. It is just that simple,” said Cuomo, whose power at his own home in the suburbs has been on and off.

Cuomo appears to be all by himself among the New York area’s big three politicians. New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg defended Con Ed and said it has done a good job in recent years.

And New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie praised the utilities, saying he expects all of the state to have power back by early Sunday.

New Jersey had about 400,000 outages on Thursday.

“The villain in this case is Hurricane Sandy,” Christie said.

On Long Island, where more than 262,000 customers were without power and tempers were rising, Long Island Power Authority spokesman Mark Gross would not comment on the criticism, saying only that the utility is focused on restoring power.

Con Ed CEO Kevin Burke said he expects the outages to be fixed in a couple of days, and added, “I’m very sorry that so many people are suffering because their lights are out.”

The Edison Electric Institute, the industry’s main lobbying group, has called restoring power in Sandy’s wake the “single biggest task the utility industry has ever faced.”

Brian Wolff, EEI senior vice president, said 67,000 utility workers from all around the country are on the job.

“An hour without power is too long. Power is an essential commodity. Our people get that. We are putting every resource to restoring power,” he said. But he added, “This was not a minor event.”

Even David Wright, president of the National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners, sounded a sympathetic note: “There are limits to what a utility can do. A superstorm is an extraordinary event, and in an extraordinary event you get extraordinary circumstances.”

SHERIFF’S REPORTS Information provided by the Miami County Sheriff’s Office: Nov. 5 Home burglarized: Officials responded to the 10000 block of Burr-Oak New Hope Road, Fletcher, on a report of a burglary not in progress.

The resident explained he had left the house at about 7:15 a.m. and arrived at 5:15 p.m. to discover the front door standing open and had already searched the home.

There was no evidence of forced entry into the home. The resident suspected the front

door was locked but not completely pulled shut. The master bedroom had been gone through and the light was left on by the subjects. A number of firearms in the bedroom closet and gold jewelry were taken as well as a jar of change and other money. No leads or suspects were found.

Inmates assaulted: Between 12:50 p.m. and 1 p.m. one inmate claimed two other male inmates assaulted him in his cell at the Miami County Jail.

The fight was over who was going to control or “run” the cell block by taking meal

trays from younger inmates in the cell block.

The assaulted inmate said the other head butted him on the left side of his head near the corner of his left eye, causing a small cut.

Lt. David Norman reviewed the video of the cell block and were unable to determine who was involved and if an assault had occurred.

NO witnesses came forward to support he injured inmate’s allegations.

The inmate was transported to Upper Valley Medical Center for stitched for the cut.

The case was closed due to the lack of evidence and lack of witness statements.

Enjoying the ride After 45 years, classic rock band Chicago still going strong; set to play at Hobart Arena Nov. 17 ee Loughnane had no idea where his career aspirations might take him when he helped form a Chicago-area band in 1967. But he was certain his passion for music would guide him on the journey.

It has. And 45 years later, Loughnane and his fellow members of the classic rock band Chicago are still enjoying the ride.

“There’s no way of knowing when you start out. But I, for one, and for many of us in the band, never thought of doing anything else for a living.

So I put everything I have into this,” said Loughnane, who will join his Chicago band mates for an 8 p.m. show Nov. 17 at Hobart Arena.

Known initially as Chicago Transit Authority, the band later shortened its name simply to Chicago and embarked on a career that has included 33 albums, 21 Top-10 singles and more than 100 million records sold.

Loughnane, who plays trumpet and has written several songs for the Grammy-winning band, said fans can expect to hear many of their favorite Chicago songs during their first-ever visit to Troy.

“We’ll be doing songs from a cross-section from

our career — from the first album all the way up to present day — and we’re going to put a couple of Christmas songs in from the Ultimate Christmas Collection,” he said.

With 30-plus albums of material, condensing that catalog of material down to a manageable set list isn’t always easy. But the band has found a way to keep fans happy during four decades of touring.

“When we first started out we only had a handful of songs, so we played everything we knew,” he said during a phone interview Thursday.

That all changed when radio stations across the country started spinning the band’s music and making it available for the masses. Hits such as “Make Me Smile,” “Beginnings,” “25 or 6 to 4” and “Make Me Smile” helped cement the band’s placement in the rock music world and, subsequently became staples in the band’s live shows.

“People wanted to hear stuff that had put us on the map … and we wanted to keep everybody — and ourselves — excited about the show,” Loughnane said.

“Forty-five years later, we’re still able to walk that tightrope. (The audience doesn’t) get tired of hearing it, and we don’t get tired of playing it.

The old elementary and middle school buildings for Milton-Union Schools are coming down.

Old M-U schools are coming down

BY JOHN BADEN For the Troy Daily News editorial@tdnpublishing.com

WEST MILTON

The old elementary and middle school buildings for Milton-Union Schools are coming down, as work started on the project last week.

Three months ago, Milton-Union Exempted Village Schools began taking multiple construction bids for the removal of the former education outlets for West Milton, located at 112 S. Spring Street.

In the following month, the school accepted a bid from demo contractor Rauch Inc. under a contract of $798,000.

Treasurer Chuck Klein said that this agreement includes paving the area of the old high school after its demolished in March 2013

and repaving parts of the high school parking lot damaged during the project.

While the elementary and middle school buildings are expected to be torn down by the end of December, seeding in grass in the empty area will not happen until the spring season of 2013.

According to Superintendent Dr. Ginny Rammel, the demolition of the two buildings was originally pushed back to Oct. 29 from an early October start date because the removal of asbestos took longer than expected.

Rauch Inc. started tearing down the middle school building on Oct. 25, however, because the company got its equipment set

up faster than they predicted.

With any demolition, one of the challenges will be controlling the amount of dust from the result of tearing down the buildings.

Klein said that Rauch’s key to combating this issue will be water.

“There’s no doubt that there’s going to be dust, no matter what you do, but by specifications, they have to keep it watered down,” Klein said.

According to Klein, the entire project will be finished by the end of April 2013.

At the last board of education meeting, the board leased the future 112 S. Spring St. parking lot, along with five tennis courts on Jay Road, to the village of West Milton for $1 annually.

Tipp resident publishes her first children’s book

BY ASHLEY MOOR Ohio Community Media editorial@tdnpublishing.com Mary Bingamon Haller, a longtime resident of West Milton, has always appreciated the simple beauty of the world around her.

For the past 22 HALLER years, she has shared her backyard with the friendly creatures which inhabit the Stillwater River. Now she is sharing those creatures with mothers through her first book, a children’s read called “The Whispering Sycamore.”

Though she said she had enough inspiration around to last a lifetime, it wasn’t until her mother died that she became interested in the stories her mother had told her while she was growing up.

She started a journal full of the stories her mother had told her about her life and their family heritage.

Throughout all of the time that Haller spent researching her mother’s life, only one event really stood out in her mind. It started when, while exploring her backyard, she spotted an owl that

TIPP CITY

looked like it had been wounded.

Haller said she was fearful that the owl’s life was in danger and so instantly took action. After taking the owl to Brukner Nature Center, she was told that the owl was fine and to put it back directly where she had found it.

She then began to wonder… why was the owl there?

“I looked into the eyes of the bird and I just knew… that my mother was there and watching over me,” Haller said.

She was inspired enough to write “The Whispering Sycamore,” (published by Gypsy Publications and illustrated by Sandra Burns) about the large Sycamore tree on her property and all of the things that it has seen and heard throughout the years.

From the days of the Native Americans to the people of the 21st century, the story tells the tale of a wise old tree on the banks

of the Stillwater River.

Haller wanted to emphasize the importance of having an understanding and respectful relationship with nature.

That also was the reason why she wanted it to be a children’s book, since she strongly believes that children should learn to love and respect the great outdoors. Haller said she loves to share her passion for wildlife with children, being that she is very family oriented.

Haller said she did her best work in early morning writing sessions.

“I would wake up in the middle of the night and I couldn’t get back to sleep, so I would sit down on my computer and write,” Haller said.

“The Whispering Sycamore” is the first book in a series about an owl and stories inspired by her mother and nature. The next book in the series, “The Great Horned Owl,” is due to come out in the upcoming spring or summer.

You can purchase “The Whispering Sycamore” at Browse Awhile Books in Tipp City, Around About Books, Jay & Mary’s, and Reader’s Delight in Troy, and online at www.GypsyPublications.co m, Amazon.com, or Barnes&Noble.com. For more information about the author, visit www.GypsyPublications.com.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

You might try checking with your doctor or a dermatologist Dear Annie: I often feel sharp bites like pinpricks on different places of my body, especially at night. At first, it happened only in the bedroom, but now I get them while sitting in my family room and even in my car. I thought it might be bedbugs, but an exterminator ruled that out. He said he had no idea what was causing the bites and couldn't help. A second exterminator told me the same thing, so I was really disappointed in them. But the bites are becoming worse. I'm not imagining them, because other members of my family have experienced the bites, as well.

We cannot see the bugs, but we know we are being bitten. It is unpleasant living this way, and we certainly don't want to spread the problem to others. I am so frustrated that we cannot get this diagnosed and treated. Can you tell us where to turn? — Twice Bitten Dear Bitten: In many states, it is illegal for exterminators to apply pesticides without knowing the type of bug they are targeting.

Talk to your doctor, and also see a dermatologist to find out whether you have physical evidence of bites and can identify the culprits. Some doctors consider "invisible bugs" to be psychological in origin, but there are plenty of tiny mites that cannot easily be seen.

You may also have an infection or allergy. Have you made any changes to your environment (new shampoo, soap or detergent, recent gardening, getting a pet)? Wash all your clothes, sheets, towels, etc., in hot, soapy water and put them in the dryer. Seal blankets and other items in plastic bags. Clean the floors and carpets. And now we're going to do the same because your letter made us itchy.

Dear Annie: I have given baby showers for each of my close friends. However, these same friends are now expecting showers for their second and third kids, too.

I believe every child is a reason for celebration. But I find it tacky for them to think everyone should attend another large baby shower within two years. I am happy to visit the mother and baby after the child is born and bring a gift. But has etiquette changed so much that there are multiple baby showers within the same family? — Still Friends Dear Still: No, etiquette has not changed that much. The intent of a baby shower is to welcome the new child into the world and provide necessary items for the child's care. With subsequent births, those items can be handed down, making another shower unnecessary.

However, it is OK to have a second shower if the guest list is small and limited to family, very close friends and those not invited to the first one. Also, it's OK if there is a large gap between births (making hand-me-downs less likely) or a couple has moved to a new city with new friends. And some friends host a "shower" for the overwhelmed parents, which is also fine. Of course, whether or not to participate is entirely up to you.

Dear Annie: I read a response to "Disappointed in Ohio," who complained that the husband of one of her friends kept attending their regular all-girl get-togethers.

I am part of a small group of women who worked at a bank together 60 years ago. We have been having lunch for several years. One of the women developed Alzheimer's and lives in a care facility. When she could no longer drive to our lunches, her husband brought her to the restaurant and picked her up when we were done.

After a while, we invited him to stay.

We enjoy his company.

Sometimes another friend's husband comes along, and the two men eat at a separate table and visit, leaving us to have our "girl chat."

I have a feeling that when his wife can no longer come, we will still invite him to join us. — Omaha Annie's Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

HINTS FROM HELOISE

Here’s how to stop the marketing calls Dear Readers: Telemarketers are a pain in the neck!

To help stop them, the Federal Trade Commission has a service called the Do Not Call Registry.

To call and get your phone number on this Do Not Call list, be sure to call from the number you’d like to register.

If you have multiple phone lines (land line or cell line), call from EACH one; dial 888-382-1222 (TTY 866-290-4236).

If you want to register your phone number online, go to

Hints from Heloise Columnist www.donotcall.gov to apply.

The Do Not Call Registry cannot stop calls from places you have given permission to call, places you have business with, tax-exempt nonprofit organizations or calls that are not commercial or do not include unsolicited advertise-

ments. — Heloise P.S.: This is a major annoyance to many folks! Call today (or register online) so you can get some relief!

KEY IDEAS Dear Readers: Here are a few of the many letters and emails that came in about what to do with old keys: Darlene in Wisconsin wrote: “As a fourth-grade teacher, I took our box of keys and used them as a creativewriting activity. Each child selected a key, then imagined what kind of door the key would open and what was

behind it.”

Kim in Texas wrote: “Tie a collection to the bottom of an old chandelier instead of costly crystal drops. Use as an accent on a gift-wrapped package. Use ribbon or twine to create napkin rings (especially cute for a housewarming gift).”

Murray in California wrote: “Buy a cheap picture frame with glass and set the keys on red or black felt, and it becomes a great wall hanging.”

Thanks for all the great hints! — Heloise

HOROSCOPE

BY FRANCES DRAKE For Saturday, Nov. 10, 2012 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Difficulties might arise with close friends and partners because someone wants more freedom or independence.

Perhaps this someone is you (very likely)!

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Computer crashes, power outages, fire drills, canceled meetings and staff shortages are just some of the reasons today might go sideways in a New York minute. Just grin and bear it.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) This is an accident-prone day for your children, so be extra vigilant. Keep an eye on them and know where they are at all times.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Minor breakages might occur at home today. Small appliances might break down. Domestic upsets also could ruin family harmony. Fasten your seatbelt!

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) This is an accident-prone day for your sign, so slow down and take it easy.

Pay extra attention to everything you say and do so that you’ll have no regrets.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Guard against impulse purchases today. In fact, keep your receipts and count your change. Protect your money and possessions against the possibility of loss or theft.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) You’re pretty touchy today! This is why you’re quick to take offense or vice versa, others might act like this as well. Patience is your only recourse.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) You feel vaguely disgruntled and mildly worried about something today.

(You might not even know what.) Don’t worry; this feeling passes quickly.

Relax.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Someone in a group setting might say something that upsets you today. If you practice patience and refrain from a nasty retort, you’ll have nothing to regret later.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) This is a poor day for important discussions with bosses, parents and teachers. It’s also a bad day to quit your day job. (Keep your head down and your powder dry.)

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Travel plans will be canceled or changed today along with school schedules. Expect the unexpected.

Allow extra time for everything. Avoid arguments about politics, religion or touchy subjects.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) You might be upset by the outcome of a decision about inheritances, shared property or anything you own jointly with others. Wait a day or two to settle this properly. Don’t react in defiance today, because you might regret it later.

YOU BORN TODAY You have a powerful, magnetic energy, which makes you appear confident and self-assured.

(Even if this isn’t so.) You never shirk from a challenge because you know that overcoming obstacles creates a personal transformation within you.

You speak your mind, even bluntly. In the year ahead, something you’ve been involved with for nine years might end or diminish in order to make room for something new.

TODAY IN HISTORY (AP) — Today is Friday, Nov. 9, the 314th day of 2012. There are 52 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Nov. 9, 1938, Nazis looted and burned synagogues as well as Jewish-owned stores and houses in Germany and Austria in a pogrom that became known as “Kristallnacht.”

On this date: • In 1620, the passengers and crew of the Mayflower sighted Cape Cod. • In 1872, fire destroyed nearly 800 buildings in Boston.

• In 1918, it was announced that

Germany’s Kaiser Wilhelm II would abdicate. He then fled to the Netherlands.

• In 1961, U.S. Air Force Maj. Robert M. White became the first pilot to fly an X-15 rocket plane at six times the speed of sound. The Beatles’ future manager, Brian Epstein, first saw the group perform at The Cavern Club in Liverpool, England.

• In 1976, the U.N. General Assembly approved resolutions condemning apartheid in South Africa, including one characterizing the white-ruled government as “illegitimate.”

• In 1989, communist East Germany threw open its borders, allowing citizens to travel freely to the West; joyous Germans danced atop the Berlin Wall.

• One year ago: After 46 seasons as Penn State’s head football coach and a record 409 victories, Joe Paterno was fired along with the university president, Graham Spanier, over their handling of child sex abuse allegations against former assistant coach Jerry Sandusky.

• Today’s Birthdays: Actor Lou Ferrigno is 61. Sen. Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio, is 60. Singer Nick Lachey (98 Degrees) is 39.

Loughner gets life sentence for fatal shooting TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) — Former Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, partially blind, her right arm paralyzed and limp, came face to face Thursday with the man who tried to kill her last year, standing beside her husband as he spoke of her struggles to recover from

being shot in the head.

“Her life has been forever changed. Plans she had for our family and her career have been immeasurably altered,” said astronaut Mark Kelly, both he and his wife staring at the shooter inside a packed courtroom. “Every day is a

continuous struggle to do those things she once was so good at.”

Jared Lee Loughner, 24, was then ordered to serve seven consecutive life sentences, plus 140 years in federal prison for the January 2011 shooting rampage that killed six peo-

ple and wounded 13 others, including Giffords, outside a grocery store in Tucson, Ariz.

Loughner pleaded guilty under an agreement that guarantees he will spend the rest of his life in prison without the possibility of parole. He avoids a federal

death sentence, and local prosecutors said Thursday they would not seek state charges.

One by one, survivors of the attack at a Giffords political event approached the courtroom podium to address Loughner, each turning toward him where he sat stoic and emotionless at a table with his attorneys.

“You took away my life, my love and my reason for living,” said Mavanell Stoddard, who was shot three times and cradled her dying husband in her arms as he lay bleeding on the sidewalk after shielding her from the spray of bullets.

Susan Hileman, who was shot, spoke to him, at times visibly shaking.

“We’ve been told about your demons, about the illness that skewed your thinking,” she said. “Your parents, your schools, your community, they all failed you.

“It’s all true,” Hileman said. “It’s not enough.”

“You pointed a weapon and shot me three times,” she said, staring directly at Loughner. He looked back at her. “And now I will walk out of this courtroom and into the rest of my life and I won’t think of you again.”

Loughner’s parents sat nearby, his mother sobbing.

Some victims, including

Giffords, welcomed the plea deal as a way to move on. It spared them and their families from having to go through a potentially lengthy and traumatic trial and locks up the defendant for life.

Giffords didn’t speak, but stood by Kelly and kissed her husband when he was done. He grabbed her hand and they walked away, her limping.

Earlier, Loughner told Burns that he would not speak at the hearing.

Both sides reached the deal after a judge declared that Loughner was able to understand the charges against him. After the shooting, he was diagnosed with schizophrenia and underwent forcible psychotropic drug treatments.

Christina Pietz, the court-appointed psychologist who treated Loughner, had warned that although Loughner was competent to plead guilty, he remained severely mentally ill and his condition could deteriorate under the stress of a trial.

When Loughner first arrived at a Missouri prison facility for treatment, he was convinced Giffords was dead, even though he was shown a video of the shooting. He eventually realized she was alive after he was forcibly medicated.

MOUNT PLEASANT, S.C. (AP) — It’s about much more than pick-and-rolls and double teams for the four teams starting their seasons aboard the USS Yorktown at the Carrier Classic.

Ohio State’s Thad Matta and Jim Foster, Marquette’s Buzz Williams and Notre Dame’s Muffet McGraw aren’t just thinking about getting a win. The coaches agree the trip south is also about giving their players a deeper appreciation for the military and the sacrifice it takes to serve one’s country.

“Sometimes, you’ve got to get out of your box and realize you’re in the education business,” Foster said Thursday.

The event began last fall with North Carolina and Michigan State playing on an aircraft carrier off San Diego. This year, the classic was expanded and moved across country to the USS Yorktown, a carrier turned naval museum in Charleston’s harbor.

Festivities tip off Friday when last year’s national women’s runner-up, No. 7 Notre Dame, faces No. 19 Ohio State. Then a showdown between the fourth-ranked Buckeyes men’s team and Marquette follows on the flight deck turned basketball court.

There are stands for about 4,000 people, about half of those military personnel who received donated tickets in thanks for their service.

“I’m thrilled to be here, even though I’m an Army guy,” said Foster, who served in Vietnam.

The four teams each had about an hour on the converted court, set between the carrier’s large command tower and the warship’s far end. A mesh backing was set up just a few feet from a basket to stop high rebounds or really bad passes from landing in the water some 30 feet below.

“That one end is intimidating.

I didn’t know it would be so close to the edge of the ship,” Matta said. “After watching us pass the ball in practice, I hope they’ll have some extra ones.”

Players snapped cellphone pictures on the court before and after workouts. The court was bathed in bright sunshine and pelicans routinely buzzed the makeshift arena.

“This is one of the top five things I’ve ever done in my life,”

More than just footballs deflated at USC Wi starts fast in final event of year Getting off to a quick start is nothing new for Charlie Wi. The hard part is figuring out how to finish.

Wi took the 18-hole lead for the third time this year and the eighth time in his PGA Tour career by closing with back-toback birdies Thursday for an 8-under 64 on the easier Palm Course at Disney.

See Page 18.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — It’s not just the game balls that are deflated at Southern California this fall.

An unimpressive season reached a new, weird low late Wednesday night when No. 21 USC announced a student manager had been dismissed for underinflating several game balls before the Trojans’ loss to No. 2 Oregon last weekend, earning a fine and a reprimand for the school from the Pac-12.

Coach Lane Kiffin then spent

a soggy Thursday morning on campus explaining why the Trojans’ latest brush with questionable tactics was an isolated misdeed by an overeager student, not an indication of a somewhat sleazy culture building around a program still attempting to emerge from the clouds of heavy NCAA sanctions in 2010.

“I was just disappointed, because it was just a distraction,” Kiffin said. “It was a distraction that nobody knew about here, that had no effect on the

game. If anything, it had a negative effect to be throwing two different types of balls for a quarterback. I was just disappointed, because it was a distraction that we didn’t need.”

Kiffin is telling the truth: With two straight losses, the preseason No. 1 team can’t afford to waste much thought for anything other than the salvage of its season. USC (6-3, 4-3 Pac-12) hosts Arizona State (5-4, 3-3) on Saturday before finishing against No. 17 UCLA and No. 4

Notre Dame, hoping to earn a probable rematch with Oregon in the Pac-12 title game.

Kiffin insists his coaching staff and quarterback Matt Barkley knew nothing about the manager’s actions on the Oregon sideline, where officials apparently discovered three underinflated balls before the game and two more at halftime. Kiffin offered no thoughts about the possible motivation of the

Buccs ■ CONTINUED FROM 17 “Trent (Tobias) does a nice job running the offense, and the guys up front are doing a great job,” Covington coach Dave Miller said. “I am not sure Dixie had seen it (the triple option) all year, and I am not sure Summit has either. It looks like they have seen a lot of spread.

“But we know at some point we are going to run into a really strong defense. It (the triple option) probably gives us a little advantage. It takes discipline and assignment football (to stop it). But Summit has the kind of guys that can do that.”

Which is where the equally dominating Buccs defense comes in.

They have surrendered just 1,669 yards (151.73 per game), including 81.82 rushing per game and 69.91 passing per game.

And the Buccs have

outscored opponents 598 (54.36 per game) to 78 (7.09 per game).

“We always say, offense puts people in the seats, but defense wins championships,” Miller said.

“Those guys on the defensive side of the ball have done a great job.”

Which is why Covington takes an unblemished record into Saturday’s game — just like the Knights.

“Summit Country Day has a really nice team,” Miller said. “No. 2 (Antonia Woods) is a player. They get a lot out of him.”

Woods, a 6-0, 170pound junior, is Summit’s quarterback. He guided Summit to a 35-27 win over Triad last Saturday.

The Knights will show defenses two distinctly different looks.

“They will run a spread, which they like to throw out of,” Miller said.

“Then they will run a double-tight set. They will throw out of it at times, but for the most part that is a running formation for them.”

The Knight defense has a familiar look.

“It is pretty similar to Dixie,” Miller said. “An even front, 4-3. They have guys who can get down low.”

One thing stood out to Miller in watching Summit on film.

“They have the ability to come back,” he said.

“When they get down, they don’t get rattled. They make their adjustments and are able to rally.”

Summit is coming off arguably its biggest win ever — the Knights’ first postseason win in six appearances.

“They are coming into this game with a a lot of enthusiasm and excitement,” Miller said.

“Sometimes that means

Covington is at the other end of the spectrum — playoff football is a long tradition, and the Buccs

have advanced beyond the first round five of the last six years.

“It might be a little advantage,” Miller said of

the experience. “But sometimes that enthusiasm like Summit has (from its first playoff win) can be just as important.”

But one thing is certain — a first-round playoff loss to Coldwater last year left a chip on the Buccs’ shoulder.

“We played a good game for a half,” Miller said. “But we had won our first-round game four years in a row before that, so that was a tough blow. I think that has definitely be a motivator for these guys. And I am really proud of the way they handled everything this year.”

And it is return home for Miller, who played his high school football on the same Centerville field.

“I am pretty excited about it,” he said. “But I am kind of downplaying that. It isn’t about me. It’s about the team.”

Like it has been from the first practice.

“We talk about pressure all the time,” Cash said.

“Pressure is what you make it as an individual. If you want to feel it, you will.

If you don’t, you won’t. If you’ve prepared and are ready, you won’t.”

The Bulldogs, on the other hand, will be the state rookies — which also says nothing.

“It’s hard to say how Bloom will react,” Cash said. “They probably felt like it should have been them going to state last year after the regional final. They’re here now, but they’re not going to be happy with that. They’ll come in hungry.”

All that will matter is who plays better — something both teams are very used to doing.

Bloom-Carroll finished ranked No. 4 in the state in the final D-III poll, with all three of its losses coming in a tournament against outof-state opponents. The Bulldogs even hold a fivegame victory over Bishop Hartley — the lone team to defeat the Vikings this season. Miami East lost to Hartley — last year’s D-II

The USS Yorktown has been moored near Charleston since 1975, five years after she was decommissioned.

The Essex-class carrier first set sail in 1943 and served in the Pacific during World War II. It later took part in the Vietnam War and recovered the Apollo 8 astronauts in 1968.

The Miami East Vikings celebrate after winning the state title last season.

State champ — in five games four days before the Bulldogs beat them.

“They haven’t lost to anyone from the state of Ohio this year,” Cash said.

“They rely a lot on the Hughes sisters — senior outside Cassie and sophomore lefty setter Taylor.

Both are committed to D-I colleges already. They’re talented, they can play ball, they’re very good and the players around them do a good job.

“They pose some problems physically and with their smart play, and they’re all good servers.

They pose some problems.”

But the Vikings — who have only lost three sets all season long — pose plenty of problems, as well. And their potential road to victory begins with the most basic of skills.

“We’ve got to ball control,” Cash said. “If we can do that, we can run our offense, play our tempo and

extend points. We’ve got to play with our heads, too.

It’s all about being mentally tough and knowing what to do with the ball. If the setters can get good clean balls out, we can get some one-on-ones and score the ball. I think we can do all of that if we can ball control.”

And they know they’ve done it all before, too.

“The girls haven’t done anything different than last year,” Cash said.

“They’re ready.”

Wi starts fast in last PGA event of year LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. (AP) — Getting off to a quick start is nothing new for Charlie Wi. The hard part is figuring out how to finish.

Wi took the 18-hole lead for the third time this year and the eighth time in his PGA Tour career by closing with back-to-back birdies Thursday for an 8-under 64 on the easier Palm Course at Disney. That gave him a one-shot lead over Camilo Villegas and Tommy Gainey in the Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals Classic.

This is the 184th career start for Wi on the PGA Tour and he’s still looking for his first win.

Wi atop the leaderboard was a reminder that there’s more at stake in the final PGA Tour event of the year than players trying to keep

their jobs. Each event is another opportunity for him to get his first win, and that’s would it take for him to have a chance of getting into the top 30 on the money list to earn his first trip to the Masters.

Gainey doesn’t have that opportunity. He won for the first time on tour three weeks ago at Sea Island when he closed with a 60, but he was so far down the money list that even a win at Disney wouldn’t be enough for him to get into the Masters.

The top 12 scores came from the Palm, which played about 1.7 shots easier than the Magnolia, where the final two rounds will be played. Henrik Stenson and Charles Howell III were among five players whose 68 was the best score at

Magnolia.

Brian Harman, Scott Stallings and Russell Knox, the rookie from Scotland who is outside the top 150, were at 66. Kevin Chappell, at No. 123 on the money list, overcame an early bogey and was in the group at 67.

• Lorena Ochoa Invitational GUADALAJARA, Mexico — Michelle Wie shot a 6-under 66 for a share of the first-round lead in the Lorena Ochoa Invitational with Angela Stanford and Candie Kung.

The 2009 tournament winner for the first of her two LPGA Tour victories, Wie birdied the first two holes at Guadalajara Country Club and opened the back nine with four straight birdies to match her lowest score of the year. She

got into the 36-player field this year on a sponsor invitation after failing to qualify.

Stanford won the inaugural event in 2008.

Second-ranked Stacy Lewis, coming off her tourleading fourth victory of the season Sunday in Japan, was a stroke back along with Inbee Park, Cristie Kerr, So Yeon Ryu and Karine Icher.

Lewis has a 58-point lead over Park with two events left in the player of the year points race, putting her in position to become the first American to win the award since Beth Daniel in 1994.

Ochoa opened with a 71.

The Mexican star won 27 LPGA Tour titles before retiring at age 28 in 2010.

She missed the event last year before the birth of son Pedro in December.

Williams arrived much earlier than Marquette’s scheduled practice time to check out the court and soak up the setting. His players, he said, were equally in awe as they walked up the narrow staircases and hunched through the tight doorways to the flight deck.

“I think it’s something our guys will always cherish,” Williams said. “It’s bigger than winning and losing.”

Still, these are games involving teams that all reached the NCAA tournament.

Matta’s Buckeyes made the Final Four last year and take the floor without stars Jared Sullinger and William Buford. Williams’ Golden Eagles fell to Florida in the NCAA’s round of 16.

Earlier this week, announced Williams sophomore guard Todd Mayo was academically ineligible. Mayo, the brother of the NBA’s O.J. Mayo, had averaged nearly 8 points a game last year.

■ College Football

USC ■ CONTINUED FROM 17 unidentified manager, saying he hadn’t spoken to the student.

USC athletic director Pat Haden, who took over the department after Kiffin was hired nearly three years ago, was obviously unhappy about the embarrassment.

“We acknowledge the Pac-12’s reprimand and fine,” Haden said in a statement released through Twitter. “We regret this incident occurred. It was unacceptable and we apologize for it. I can assure you this will not happen again.”

Deflating footballs is an uncommon but not unfamiliar bit of gamesmanship on many levels of football. Softer balls are thought to be a bit easier to throw and catch and that’s exactly what the Ducks did while racking up 730 yards during a 62-51 win over USC,

which had the worst defensive game ever at a school that began playing football in the 19th century.

Kiffin said he realizes “conspiracy theories … will think we were behind this,” but thinks the lack of an obvious advantage to be gained from the tactic and the sloppy manner in which it happened should prove the innocence of his coaches and players.

“I don’t think if we were trying to deflate balls, we would be directing a student manager on the Oregon sideline, right in front of them, to be deflating balls, and then playing with some deflated and some nondeflated balls,” Kiffin said. “I’m sure if we knew that, our kickers wouldn’t have been happy with that, either.

No kicker is ever going to happy with a deflated ball.”

■ National Hockey League

NHL, players still talking — to each other at least NEW YORK (AP) — The best that can be said about the ongoing NHL labor negotiations is that they are still going, and will continue for at least a fourth straight day.

The league and the locked-out players’ association got back together Thursday and accomplished enough over fiveplus hours to make plans to meet again today.

“I am not going to discuss the negotiations or the substance of what we’re

talking about,” NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman said Thursday on a wind-blown street corner.

“I really don’t think that would be helpful to the process.

“We have work to do, and my hope is that we can achieve the goal of getting a long-term, fair agreement in place as quickly as possible so we can play hockey.”

Players’ association executive director Donald Fehr didn’t rule out talks stretching into the week-

end, too.

“All I can tell you is we have been meeting, and we will be meeting again (today),” he said. “I can’t say more than that. We haven’t talked about (the weekend), but if there is something to talk about then I expect we will be.”

The lockout reached its 54th day, and this week is considered critical for the season to be saved. The work stoppage is threatening to force the second cancellation of an NHL season

in seven years.

Even if an agreement is reached soon, it isn’t clear if any of this season’s games that have been called off through Nov. 30 can be rescheduled. The NHL has already said a full 82-game season won’t be played.

“Every day that passes, I think, is critical for the game and for our fans,” Bettman said.

During a second consecutive day of marathon negotiations Wednesday, the players’ association

made an offer on revenue sharing, in which richer teams would help out poorer organizations, and another proposal regarding the “make-whole” provision that would guarantee full payment of all existing multiyear player contracts.

“There have been discussions over a wide range of topics,” Fehr said, while occupying the same location on the street that Bettman did.

“We’re recessed for the night and we will be getting back

together tomorrow. I am not going to comment in the substance of the discussions.”

Fehr also declined to say if he felt progress was made in the latest long round of discussions at a Manhattan law firm the location of the negotiations that had been kept secret until Thursday.

“I am not going to characterize it except to say, as I have before, that its always better when you’re meeting than when you’re not,” he said.

RECRUITING UPDATE

OSU AFTER BYE WEEKS

Jeb Blazevich, rated one of the top tight end prospects in the country in the 2014 recruiting class, visited Ohio State for the Illinois game. He is from Charlotte (N.C.) Christian.

Cameron Burrows, a defensive back from Trotwood-Madison who has verbally committed to Ohio State in the 2013 recruiting class, had a fumble recovery in the Rams’ 48-0 win over Mt. Healthy in the first round of the playoffs last Friday night. Trotwood-Madision is the defending Ohio Division II state champion.

Sebastian Larue, a wide receiver from Santa Monica, Calif., in the 2013 recruiting class, remains committed to USC but will visit Ohio State the weekend of the Michigan game.

Here’s how Ohio State has done in its recent games after a bye week: 2011: Beat Wisconsin 33-29 2010: Beat Penn State 38-14 2008: Beat Northwestern 45-10 2005: Lost 17-10 to Penn State 2004: Lost to Northwestern 33-27 2003: Lost to Wisconsin 17-10 2002: Beat Kent State 51-17 2001: Lost 13-6 to UCLA 2000: Beat Wisconsin 23-7 1999: Beat UCLA 42-20 1998: Beat Penn State 28-9 1997: Beat Bowling Green 44-13 1996: Beat Pittsburgh 72-0 1995: Beat Washington 30-20 1994: Lost to Washington 25-16

The best of the Big Ten The Big Ten stretches across 1,075 miles from Penn State in the East to Nebraska in the Midwest, an 18-hour drive if you want to attempt it without a trip to the airport.

In 21 years of covering Ohio State football, I haven’t seen every inch of the Midwest and there are still many soybean fields, small towns and fast food restaurants yet to be explored. But I am a compiler of lists and here is my ranking of the best road trips in Big Ten football.

Caution: Ohio State is not a road trip if you live in Ohio, so it will not appear on this list.

1. Wisconsin. What’s not to like?

Madison is a great city. Camp Randall is a great stadium.

A trip to Madison for a football game is like a trip to Chicago. If you don’t have fun, you’re not trying.

Contrary to the complaints of some OSU fans, I’ve never encountered any problems here, other than figuring out the traffic pattern.

2. Iowa. Kinnick Stadium is one of the most underrated stadiums in college football, maybe because Iowa City is far from the bright lights of the big cities.

The fans are right on top of the field, the neighborhood is right on top of Kinnick and it’s a nice combination of the modern and the historic. And Iowa City is one of my favorite college towns.

3. Michigan. OK, it’s not the loudest stadium around, but The Big House’s best asset might be giving the impression of being really, really big, especially when you stand on its floor.

4. Nebraska. With only one trip to Lincoln, my opinion is still being formed, but I liked what I saw last year. Friendly fans, maybe to make up for having the Big Ten’s grumpiest coach.

5. Penn State. If a first-year architecture student submitted a model of haphazardly-expanded Beaver Stadium, he’d probably get a “C-” on his project. That and being too far away are my two quibbles with

Penn State. World-class tailgating, enthusiastic crowds and decades of success are the positives.

6. Northwestern. The stadium is the smallest in the Big Ten and the crowds are often not very large.

But it’s 10 miles north of downtown Chicago. That makes up for a lot.

7. Michigan State. Catch a game in just the right week in the fall and MSU is one of the more attractive campuses in the Big Ten. The atmosphere at Spartan Stadium is not special, but maybe it suffers in comparison with the Big Ten’s best place to watch a basketball game, Michigan State’s Breslin Center.

8. Minnesota. TCF Stadium is a huge improvement over the Metrodome, but it’s still been 51 years since the Gophers last played in the Rose Bowl. Minneapolis-St. Paul is really nice and the people are, as they self-deprecatingly say, “Minnesota nice.”

9. Illinois. The statue of Illinois legend Red Grange outside the stadium is outstanding in its heroic depiction of “The Galloping Ghost.”

Unfortunately for Illinois, success has been a ghost more years than not and its crowds reflect that.

10. Purdue. When Purdue remodeled Ross-Ade Stadium in 2001, it reduced its seating capacity by 5,500 seats. Even with that, the Boilermakers don’t usually play to sellout crowds.

11. Indiana. They try, they really try, but making Indiana football relevant has been a tough task.

Ohio State fans often outnumber Hoosiers fans when the Buckeyes play there.
