Doctors: Test kids for cholesterol Panel suggests screening children as young as 9

On the brink of history

CHICAGO (AP) — Every child should be tested for high cholesterol as early as age 9 — surprising new advice from a government panel that suggests screening kids in grade school for a problem more common in middle age.

The idea will come as a shock to most parents. And it’s certain to stir debate.

The doctors on the expert panel that announced the new guidelines Friday concede there is little proof that testing now will prevent heart attacks decades

later. But many doctors say waiting might be too late for children who have hidden risks.

Fat deposits form in the heart arteries in childhood but don’t usually harden them and cause symptoms until later in life. The panel urges cholesterol screening

between ages 9 and 11 before puberty, when cholesterol temporarily dips and again between ages 17 and 21.

The panel also suggests diabetes screening every two years starting as early as 9 for children who are overweight and have other risks for Type 2 diabetes,

BY DAVID FONG Executive Editor fong@tdnpublishing.com n a clear, chilly November morning, dozens of people from all walks of life gathered at Riverside Cemetery in Troy for a singular purpose — to remember those who have, and continue to this day, to serve their country.

Local American Legion, VFW and AmVets posts put on a stirring Veterans Day ceremony Friday, honoring all the men and women who have served in all the branches of the United States military.

The ceremony featured a 21-gun salute, the playing of “Taps” by the Veterans Memorial Honor Guard, the National Anthem sung by Betty Tasker, keynote speaker Jeff

“All of you know why this day has been proclaimed — to honor the men and women who have served or are serving this great country, the United States of America,” Troy Mayor Michael Beamish said.

Beamish went on to talk about all the freedoms Americans enjoy — and how those freedoms are protected on a daily basis by service men and American Legion Post 43 women, many of whom put their very Commander Bruce Ball speaks at lives at risk. the Old Soldiers Circle during the ceremony at Riverside Cemetery.

The Miami County Sheriff’s Office has arrested two more people suspected of committing property related crimes against the community.

Just after midnight Thursday night, deputies arrested Zane M. Weaver, 25, of Troy, and charged him with theft, criminal trespass and possession of criminal tools stemming from thefts from vehicles in the area of Barnhart Road in Troy, according to Chief Deputy Dave Duchak. A second suspect got away, and detectives continue to work on finding out his identity, he said.

“They are breaking into cars and getting high-end like GPS equipment devices and other valuables people leave in their cars,” Duchak said. “We are encouraging people to not only lock their doors, but to not leave their garage door openers in their cars, so that no one can gain access to their homes.”

On Friday afternoon, Sara Metcalf, 29, of Troy, was arrested and charged with burglary and receiving stolen property. Metcalf stopped at a home on Bradley Drive near Michaels Drive indicating she was having car trouble and needed to use the

To those who have answered the call to serve, I say thank you to each and every one of you,” Beamish said.

Stapleton followed Beamish’s remarks first by giving a brief history of Veterans Day — once known as Armistice Day — then going on to thank all those who have served or are serving the country.

“This nation still finds itself at war,” Stapleton said.

“After 10 years, we are still fighting the war on terrorism — but never again has the battle returned to American soil.”

Stapleton finished his remarks by imploring local veterans to take advantage of the services available to them. He said there are 8,000 veterans currently living in Miami County — only

Metcalf was later stopped driving a GMC Yukon after fleeing the area in the vehicle. The Yukon was determined to have been stolen from the city of Vandalia.

Duchak said she is well-known to local law enforcement and has been arrested on one count of theft and three counts of burglary on several different occasions in the last several weeks.

“She has been caught between Piqua and Troy and the sheriff ’s department several times in the last few weeks; however, every time she has been released on her own recognizance, gets out of jail and she just goes back at it,” Duchak said.

He said she is known to have a drug problem and uses the stolen vehicles as transportation to get to Dayton to get drugs and the items stolen to sell or trade for drugs.

Duchak said community members have been instrumental in some of

Rozell was born on June 22, 1930, in Middletown.

Her husband, Ronald Alan Rozell, preceded her in death on April 8, 1977. She is survived by her son, William Gardner Rozell of Troy; two daughters and sons-in-law, Mary Elizabeth and Michael Dempsey of Coppell, Texas, and Maura Ellen and Michael McMahon of Arlington, Va.; brother and sister-in-law, Michael Paul and Martha Gardner of

Hunt Valley, Md.; and six grandchildren. (A complete obituary for Mary Catherine Rozell will appear in Sunday’s Miami Valley Sunday News.)

Besides her council and recreation board service, Rozell was on the Hayner Program Committee, Dollar-for-Scholars Board, United Way Board, Stouder Foundation Distribution Board, Leadership Troy Class of 1994, Current Events Club and a founding member of the Miami County Democratic Women’s Club. In 2001, she served as the grand marshal of the Troy Strawberry Festival parade.

their latest breaks in cases and hopes people continue to be aware and call in suspicious activities. Two men also were arrested Wednesday for possible crimes in Darke County — and both suspects were also charged in Miami County with one count of burglary for a burglary that was reported on Iddings Road in Union Township. More charges will be pursued in the future, as they also are suspected in most of the residential burglaries that have occurred in Monroe and Union townships the past several weeks. It is believed these suspects also were using the proceeds from the burglaries to fuel their drug habits.

“We really want to credit the community.

They are doing a fantastic job of calling us and telling us what we need to know. And the deputies are doing a great job of getting there quickly,” said Duchak, who said the sheriff ’s office was conducting neighborhood meetings in Monroe and Union townships this week.

Residents are encouraged to report suspicious circumstances or unusual behavior by calling 9-1-1.

Half of children with high cholesterol will also have it as adults, raising their risk of heart disease.

One third of U.S. children and teens are obese or overweight, which makes high cholesterol and diabetes more likely.

Until now, cholesterol testing has only been done for kids with a known family history of early heart disease or inherited high cholesterol, or with risk factors such as obesity, diabetes or high blood pressure. That approach misses about 30 percent of kids with high cholesterol.

“If we screen at age 20, it may be already too late,” said one of the guideline panel members, Dr. Elaine Urbina, director of preventive cardiology at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center. “To me, it’s not controversial at all. We should have been doing this for years.”

Voters support schools

BY JOYELL NEVINS Ohio Community Media jnevins@tcnewsnet.com With election season over and the votes in, Tipp City and Milton-Union’s Boards of Education will look … exactly the same.

In West Milton, the three current board members beat out the incoming candidate Dan Smiley. The breakdown of voting was Shelley Swigart at 28.24 percent; Chris Long with 25.52 percent; Jodi Minneman with 24.26 percent, and Dan Smiley bringing in 21.98 percent of the vote.

The current board members expressed their gratefulness at being able to stay on the same team.

“We will continue to work together as the cohesive team we have been,” Minneman said. “It is important to be a good team that can make the tough decisions on the road ahead.”

She will be starting her fourth fouryear term. Swigart and Long are both moving into their second term, and glad to be working with the other board members.

“The board is a wonderful group of people,” Swigart said. “I just can’t say enough good things about them.”

The board members feel that the current focus is on furnishing and moving into the new building, and continuing to stay fiscally sound.

In Tipp City, although candidate Jim Hinkle received about 17 percent of the vote, he had actually withdrawn the week before. So current board members Kate

TIPP CITY-WEST MILTON Johnsen, Scott Dixon and Tom Merritt will retain their three seats on the board.

Respectively, their percentage of votes was 31.17 percent, 24.95 percent and 27.14 percent.

Bethel Local Bethel Board of Education also had no contest, as two people were running for two seats. However, both of those faces are new.

Scott Lawson and Michael van Haaren will replace Don Whitaker and Carl Bowman come January. Whitaker has served on the board for 18 years, and Bowman will have been there for 20.

Although Lawson has no board experience, he graduated with the Bethel class of 1976, and has children currently in Bethel schools. He has been a coach for more than 20 years, and currently is head coach for the Bethel Wee Stingers.

“I see this (board position) as an opportunity to serve,” Lawson said.

Van Haaren has served on educational boards such as the Edison College Foundation and engineering advisery committees with both the University of Dayton and Wright State University. He also has been on community boards like the Tipp City Area Chamber of Commerce and Troy’s Habitat for Humanity.

Looking forward to the road ahead, van Haaren commented, “I hope I can be a help in meeting the challenges the school faces in the coming years. It will be an interesting journey to be sure.”

Avenue of Flags to be displayed For the Troy Daily News The Troy Noon Optimists will offer its final Avenue of Flags display today for Veterans Day, with approximately 130 Troy residents already participating.

Although the flags normally will be displayed on the five flag holidays of the year — Memorial Day, Flag Day, Independence Day, Labor Day and Veterans Day — Troy Noon Optimist also displayed the flags this year in celebration of the 10th anniversary of Sept. 11.

Several streets in Troy have a heavy concentration of participation for the Avenue of Flags event. On South Dorset,

TROY Ridge, Peters and Croydon roads, local residents will see a focused collection of the flags. The Optimists will provide flags to all residents of Troy who may be interested. For $40, the Optimists will place a flag in front of a home or business on the five annual flag holidays.

Those interested in participating in the Avenue of Flags campaign may contact Teresa Reed at teresa.reed@edwardjones.com or call 440-0611 or Tom Funderburg at thomas.funderburg@troyohio.gov or (937) 875-2489.

In Our View

PERSPECTIVE

Troy Daily News Editorial Board FRANK BEESON / Group Publisher DAVID FONG / Executive Editor

“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”

— First Amendment, U.S. Constitution

EDITORIAL ROUNDUP The New York Daily News on the Penn State child sex abuse scandal: Horrific crimes were allegedly afoot right under the noses of the leaders of the Penn State University football program, and none of them — not the school’s president, not its athletic director, not legendary coach Joe Paterno — alerted the police.

They should hang their heads in shame.

The figure at the center of the allegations is Jerry Sandusky, a trusted assistant to Paterno for three decades. Before and after his retirement in 1999, he ran a charity for at-risk youth — where authorities say he victimized at least eight boys, over 15 years, in university football locker rooms.

The alleged crimes are sickening … just as awful is the neglect of the higherups.

There was an eyewitness to each of two crimes, in 1999 and 2002. Five youngsters, possibly more, were molested after those episodes, officials say.

The witness to the 2002 crime told Paterno he saw Sandusky molesting a boy in a shower. Paterno referred the incident to Athletic Director Tim Curley.

Paterno has not been charged with anything, nor has university President Graham Spanier, though the Pennsylvania attorney general pointedly refused to say he was not under investigation.

Criminal or not, their legacies are forever stained. They purport to mold young men. They failed dozens of young boys.

The Durango (Colo.) Herald on Cain sexual harassment allegations: Mired in accusations of sexual harassment, Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain told reporters, “(D)on’t even bother me asking me all of these other questions that you all are curious about. Don’t even bother.”

Cain had been speaking — campaigning — to a group of health-care professionals and, reasonably, wanted to talk about health-care policy, or at least not about the persistent allegations. Candidates have every right to refuse to comment or to say, “I won’t be answering questions about sexual harassment at this event.” They have every right to try to guide conversation to topics they want to discuss. Reporters ask, candidates spin; that is the relationship they have. Candidates do not have the power to control the questions asked of them.

Voters will form their own opinions, as they did about President Bill Clinton and many other politicians accused, with varying degrees of proof, of sexual misconduct. Some will conclude that the allegations are false.

Others will decide this is not their business. Some will be sufficiently disturbed to reconsider their support of Cain. And some will decide that even if the candidate has sexually harassed co-workers in the past, he is the best candidate available right now.

All those voters should be able to make their decisions based on factual information, and they deserve to hear the candidate address hard questions to the best of his ability.

The Oregonian, Portland, on the net-worth divide: It is as near a bedrock truth as we have that most Americans build assets in their lifetime despite cyclical swings in the economy. Careers start small and end bigger, or at least higher-paying. Houses are purchased and mortgages are paid off over decades as equity soars — creating a happy multiplication of wealth. Meanwhile, children are sent into the world with similar expectations.

But the first sign that this truth could be seriously shaken over the long term comes in the form of an analysis showing households headed by adults age 65 or older possessed net worth 47 times greater than households headed by adults under the age of 35 — more than double the gap of six years ago and five times greater than 25 years ago.

There is little question the stalled economy, while hard on most everyone, has seriously punished the young. They take on more college debt than ever, scramble for fewer jobs and pay mortgages on homes purchased in the years immediately preceding the housing bust and whose values have plummeted since.

But the downturn only widens a gap occurring over decades, Pew Research Center investigators found after mining data from the U.S. Census Bureau and elsewhere.

The findings are disturbing. They test the durability — or is it illusion — of the American dream.

LETTERS

Thank you for your support To the Editor: On behalf of the Tri-County Board of Recovery and Mental Health Services I would like to offer my thanks and appreciation to all of the residents of the tri-county area who continue to show their support for the Mental Health and Recovery Levy.

The Mental Health and Recovery Levy was first approved in 1973 and continues to be the backbone of the local behavioral health system in Miami, Darke and Shelby counties. The funding for this levy is used to support a wide array of services ranging from hospitalization, housing and

crisis care to outpatient services, prevention and educational services.

The number of tri-county residents who utilize services supported by the Mental Health and Recovery Levy continues to rise. In 1998, 7,500 people were provided services in the tri-county mental health and recovery system. That number has now increased to nearly 11,000.

This increase in demand can be attributed to a greater willingness to seek help by individuals as well as a marked increase in referrals by community partners such as schools, courts, physicians, other social services agencies and of course, families. The levy provides vital services that save lives, help keep our

children healthy and away from drugs and alcohol, help keep families together, help people lead a productive life, and help to make our community a better place to live. So, thank you, for making a difference in our community and in so many lives.

I would also like to thank those individuals who devoted so much time to the levy campaign; your assistance was invaluable in getting the message out through-out the tricounty area on the importance of this levy and the services it supports.

DOONESBURY

I’ve got a serious bone to pick with Barbara Dear Barbara Millicent Roberts, I realize that you might not remember me. It’s been a good 15 years since we spent our summer mornings, after school hours and late night sleepovers together. What we had was really, really special and I’ll never forget it, but your perfect plastic chest and seriously waterproof makeup really cramped my style (or warped my perception of female body image, whichever).

Now that I’m the mother of an 18-month-old little girl, I’m coming to grips with the fact that I’m going to have to accept your presence in our lives for the next 10 years. And since every moral fiber in me objects to her befriending you, I feel we need to set some ground rules from the start.

First off, “Barbie,” it is time for you to grow up and start going by a more respectable name. Is the name Barbara really all that bad? Heck, if it’s still too long for you to remember, wouldn’t Barb work just as well?

It’s short, it’s catchy and it’s a tiny bit more sophisticated than the Barbie we’ve come to know, love and resent.

And while we’re talking about resentment, would it kill you to eat a bag of chips every once and

Amanda Stewart Troy Daily News Columnist

a while? While I‘m pretty sure Mattel has revamped your body to make it slightly more anatomically possible, I’m not convinced that you could actually stand up on your own without some sort of back brace. How you manage to walk in those too-high heels and boots with that tiny waist and generously endowed chest is beyond me. In fact, you’d probably topple over your long, tan legs if it weren’t for little girls holding you up themselves.

Speaking of too-high heels, do you think we could turn the risqué clothing down a notch?

I’m all for looking cute, pretty, even hot every now and then, but don’t you ever get tired of skirts so short your bottom hangs out and shirts so tight you can’t even breathe? And don’t even get me started on your swimsuits and plastic beach heels. Considering you were born

— Mark McDaniel Executive Director, Tri-County Board of Recovery and Mental Health Services

in March 1959, don’t you think it’s time to hang up the twopiece suit and bust out a nice, modest one piece? Wouldn’t it be nice to sport a pair of comfy sweatpants and a hoodie on those chilly nights (or say, after eating an entire bag of Doritos)?

I’ll give you some credit though, “Barbie.” For being half a century old you’re still looking pretty good. And I have to admit, you’ve done a lot in those 52 years of life. From homemaker Barbie to astronaut Barbie, you really provide girls with the message that they can be anything they want (especially if they’re blonde, tan, 5’9” and weigh only 110 pounds – that’s only 35 pounds underweight for your height, you overachiever, you).

And although parents across the globe had issues when you came out as “Tattooed Barbie,” I admire your ability to get with the times. As a tatted up mom herself, it was nice to have someone to relate with. However, I’m not sure I want my 18-month-old daughter hanging out with a rough-looking blonde from the wrong side of town.

Maybe next you could tackle some real-life experiences. Why not come out as “Stressed and sleep deprived Barbie.” Or maybe even “Still needs to drop

20 pounds of baby weight and has five-day-old spit-up in her hair Barbie.” I certainly wouldn’t mind seeing you tackle a few more challenging feats.

I will give you some credit for ditching Ken back in 2004, though. After 43 years together I imagine that took a lot of strength. And despite reconciling two years later, for 730 days you showed little girls that it was OK to be single, that they didn’t need a man taking care of them.

In fact, you tackled a lot of life experiences in those two years, from Canadian Mountie Barbie and swim teacher Barbie, to an elementary school teacher and a presidential candidate.

I know you’re probably under a lot of stress, Barbie. Smiling that much over 52 long years has got to do a number on your face. So if you ever need anyone to talk to, feel free to give me a ring. Seeing as how you’re going to be hanging out with my daughter for the next 10 years, I figure if I want her to be welladjusted I should start with you first.

Laura church renovates Laura Christian Church has completed a major phase of building renovations that, for the first time in its long history, allows all physically challenged individuals full access throughout the facility.

The original church structure, historically referred to as a meeting house, was built in 1873 on property at the north end of Laura. Fourteen years later, in 1887, it was moved to its present location in downtown Laura. The earliest part of the church structure still houses the worship sanctuary, which, unlike the rest of the building, has been handicapped accessible for many years, via a wheelchair ramp at the back entrance. Moving from the sanctuary, however, to any other part of the building required, until now, being able to maneuver multiple sets of stairs, which was impossible for some.

The next phase of construction, the education wing, was added in 1959

Persons confined to a wheelchair or with any ambulatory diffi-

culties, had no access to a restroom, a classroom or any social event that was taking place in the fellowship hall.

Parishioners of the church have worked for almost a decade to raise the capital necessary for

installing an elevator and making other improvements. It has hosted many ice cream socials, fish fry dinners and provides refuse removal services for the Troy Strawberry Festival — with all of the net proceeds going into the handicapped accessible fund. In 2009, the congregation decided to sell its parsonage, which boosted the fund by $91,600.

At a cost of $168,000, the new three-door elevator services four levels within the church building and is located in a large foyer, accessed from a new parking lot entrance at the back of the church. Other improvements such as a handicapped restroom on the lower level convenient to the fellowship hall, some areas of new carpet, paint, furnishings and finish work all added to the sum of the completed project, coming in under budget at nearly $220,000.

A community appreciation open house, for visitors to view the new elevator and other improvements, will be from 2-4 p.m.

Sunday at the church, 1 S. Main St. Free refreshments, including homemade ice cream, will be available.

Open house set at Laura church LAURA — Laura Christian Church has reached its longterm goal of being handicapped accessible. Through fundraisers over the last several years, the church has raised enough money to install a full-service elevator to allow all to enter and access all areas of the church.

In celebration, a community appreciation open house will be from 2-4 p.m. Nov. 13 at the church, 1 S. Main St. Participants will be able to see the elevator, along with other building improvements, as well as enjoy free refreshments, including homemade ice cream.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Keep snacks at work under lock and key Dear Annie: I work in a small office with 10 people. We all work on commission. The problem is the boss's nephew. "Randy" does as little as possible to get by and is a total leech. I know he doesn't make much on commission, because he rarely gets any work done. He's too busy on the Internet.

Here's the problem: We all bring snacks to leave in the kitchen.

Randy eats everything. But if you ask him to contribute a dollar, he claims not to have any money. He looks like he's starving, yet he manages to buy cigarettes and alcohol and will bum off of anyone for his lunch.

I'm tired of buying snack food only to have it disappear. I have told Randy that if he doesn't contribute to the pantry, he shouldn't eat. How can I firmly get this across to him? — Gloria Dear Gloria: You can't get this across to Randy because he will ignore you. His approach to life is to get something for nothing.

Those of you who contribute to the snacks should keep them under lock and key, or have them at your desks so you can control who gets them.

Dear Annie: My brother and his wife have two preteen children. My sister-in-law is a rude, opinionated, controlling, unlikable woman. She seems to take pleasure in making nasty comments to shock people, and she belittles my brother in front of others. My brother is a nice man, but unfortunately, he's meek and allows his wife to handle everything, including the childrearing.

The children have never had any manners. They never say "please" or "thank you," nor do they say hello to us or greet visitors. I realize they may be shy, but they won't respond when asked a question, even by a waiter who wants to know what they are ordering. They glare instead. If we ask them to introduce their friends to us, they say, "No, I don't want to."

Because my sister-in-law is always hovering, my siblings and I don't feel it is appropriate to correct them. We don't want to create a problem. We also won't say anything to my brother because he will tell his wife, who would become angry.

We all realize that a lack of manners is quite common these days, and that most parents do not want others telling them how to raise their kids. Should we look the other way and watch the children grow up to be disagreeable adults like their mother? Should we have a talk with our brother?

Can I say, "Johnny, why haven't you said hello to Aunt Jane?" — Aunt Jane Dear Jane: It's OK to say, "Johnny, I'd love it if you said hello to your Aunt Jane." Beyond that, we strongly recommend you keep quiet. Not only will your sister-in-law resent your comments, but the kids will not respond well, either. When they are a bit older, you can stop giving them presents if they won't acknowledge them and say "thank you." But we hope you realize that whether they grow up to have their mother's personality has little to do with their current manners.

Dear Annie: I'm writing in regard to the letter from "Losing My Family," the 16-year-old who is having a hard time with his mother. He is dealing with some teen issues, but it is not normal for Mom to yell at him for grades in the high 90s.

Unfortunately, too many children have to deal with divorced parents who say bad things about the other parent. That mother sounds as if she is taking all of her anger out on her son. They both could benefit from counseling. But if Mom isn't interested, "Losing" should see someone, even if it's only the school counselor, as you recommended.

I hope things get better for him.

I do understand. I have two daughters and have been divorced and remarried. — A Mom in Texas Annie's Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

YESTERDAY’S SOLUTION:

HINTS FROM HELOISE

Cast a vote for your favorite hints!

Hi, Heloise: I would love to see a once-a-month readers’ “favorite hint” column. Mine is one you printed years ago, which is to add six or eight additional folded plastic trash bags inside the bottom of the plastic trash container under the sink. Saves a trip out to the garage where the spare bags are stored. — Will Johnston, Mission Viejo, Calif.

Wonderful, Will! So, readers, what do you think? What is your favorite Heloise hint? What has saved you the most time, footsteps, money or aggravation? — Heloise GREEN HINT Dear Heloise: The plastic

Hints from Heloise Columnist utensils from fast-food restaurants are actually quite sturdy, and I save a few of them. They are perfect for eating a quick meal at home, and they go through the dishwasher nicely.

— A Reader in Texas SKUNK SOLUTION Dear Heloise: Here’s a great

tip for most any homeowner. A friend spied a skunk wandering around in his backyard. He nearly panicked, as his wife’s card club was due to arrive in about an hour.

Trying to think what might chase it away, he remembered how his cat hates the noise of the vacuum cleaner. He revved that up, and voila — skedaddled skunk! — Betty G., Circleville, Ohio HANDY WASHCLOTHS Dear Heloise: When in the kitchen, I am forever rinsing my hands, wiping off the counters, etc., and paper towels get expensive. I bought a pack of 15 washcloths at the store and placed

them in a pretty basket beside the sink. They work wonderfully for drying hands, wiping up messes, etc. — Jo An S., The Villages, Fla. EASY OPEN Dear Heloise: Why didn’t I think of this sooner? Instead of struggling to get the cap off a fixall adhesive tube or a quick-drying glue container that has dried closed, I now poke a small hole in the body of the tube with a toothpick and use the toothpick to apply the glue. I then just set the tube out to dry... it seals itself closed! Next time, I’ll poke a new hole somewhere else and repeat.

I store the used tube in a plastic bag when dried shut.

HOROSCOPE Saturday, Nov. 12, 2011 In the year ahead, there’s a good chance you will be establishing a number of partnerships for special purposes, which is well and good, as long as everyone you’re involved with can offer something that you can’t provide.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — For the sake of prudence, spend only on essentials. You’ll regret it if you don’t scratch off your shopping list all the things and activities you can’t afford and don’t need.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Be considerate of the desires of persons with whom you’re involved. If you don’t respect the majority rule and insist upon things being done your way, you’ll end up an outcast.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Where normally you might get away with disregarding certain duties and obligations, major complications could come your way if you do so now. Better stay on top of things.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — You could cause quite a stir if you bank too heavily on unverified information that was passed on to you. Chances are it’ll be merely colorful talk meant for entertainment only.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — Don’t do yourself a grave injustice by thinking you have to embellish the facts in order to get others to think highly of you. If anyone perceives the truth, you’ll be embarrassed.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) — Both falsehood and flattery will be ineffective tools, and will get you nowhere if you try to use them for ulterior motives. The only thing that will make an impression is sincerity.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Explore your financial expenditures carefully to see if you can do a better job managing them. Chances are you’ll find some wasteful spending that can be avoided in the future.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — You can be either a direct person who doesn’t mince any words, or someone who will play the game and say what is expected of you. Today the latter will be more prevalent.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) — It’s okay to be a bit self-indulgent, but only as long as you look out for the other guy who can’t do so for himself, and never profit at the expense of another.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — This is one of those days when you need to be extra mindful that you don’t come off as haughty or self-indulgent. It won’t win you any friends or admiration.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Any urges you get to put on airs in hopes of making a favorable impression must be nipped in the bud. These forces come from your ego and will do you no good.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — A slick, flamboyant purveyor might try to sell you one of his or her baubles that will be of no value to you or anybody else.

Don’t be taken in by a pitch of no substance.

TODAY IN HISTORY Today is Saturday, Nov. 12, the 316th day of 2011. There are 49 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight: On Nov. 12, 2001, American Airlines Flight 587, an Airbus A300 headed to the Dominican Republic, crashed after takeoff from New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport, killing all 260 people on board and five people on the ground.

(Investigators later determined that part of the tail assembly of the jetliner had fallen off, and

blamed pilot error, inadequate pilot training and overly sensitive rudder controls.)

On this date: In 1927, Josef Stalin became the undisputed ruler of the Soviet Union as Leon Trotsky was expelled from the Communist Party.

In 1936, the San FranciscoOakland Bay Bridge opened as President Franklin D. Roosevelt pressed a telegraph key in Washington, D.C., giving the green light to traffic.

In 1942, the World War II naval Battle of Guadalcanal began. (The Allies ended up winning a major victory over the Japanese.)

In 1977, the city of New Orleans elected its first black mayor, Ernest “Dutch” Morial, the winner of a runoff.

In 1982, Yuri V. Andropov was elected to succeed the late Leonid I. Brezhnev as general secretary of the Soviet Communist Party’s Central Committee.

Pipeline More teachers, facing low salaries, opt to moonlight still troubled teaching than expected to, combined.

“The second job was to get back what was lost through cuts,” said Brosz, a nationally board certified teacher. “It was tougher and tougher to make ends meet.

I started personal training because it’s flexible hours.”

Second jobs are not a new phenomenon for teachers, who have historically been paid less than other professionals. In 1981, about 11 percent of teachers

were moonlighting; the number has risen to about one in five today. They are bartenders, waitresses, tutors, school bus drivers and even lawnmowers.

Now, with the severe cuts many school districts have made, teachers like Brosz, who hadn’t considered juggling a second job before, are searching the

want ads. The number of public school teachers who reported holding a second job outside school increased slightly from 2003-04 to 2007-08. While there is no national data for more recent years, reports from individual states and districts indicate the number may have climbed further since the

start of the recession.

In Texas, for example, the percentage of teachers who moonlight has increased from 22 percent in 1980 to 41 percent in 2010.

“It’s the economy, primarily,” said Sam Sullivan, a professor at Sam Houston State University, which conducts the survey.

BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) — The White House plan to seek alternate routes for a Canada-to-Texas oil pipeline presents a tangle of new problems for the project’s backers, and any of those obstacles could still sink the proposal before the first spade of dirt is turned.

Shifting the path to avoid a major aquifer could increase the number of perilous stream crossings and put the line closer to populated areas. Major changes also risk alienating pipeline supporters, who tout the economic benefits of creating thousands of jobs. And the most vocal opponents plan to keep up their fight regardless of the route.

The obstacles are tall enough, some observers say, that Canada’s oilsands industry could even decide to bypass U.S. markets altogether and sell fuel directly to China using a pipeline through western Canada to the shores of the Pacific.

TransCanada’s $7 billion Keystone XL pipeline would carry up to 700,000 barrels of crude a day from Alberta’s tar sands to Gulf Coast refineries. The original route crossed six states, including Nebraska, where opponents worried about threats to the massive Ogallala aquifer. The line also would pass through Montana, South Dakota, Kansas and Oklahoma.

Largely because of complaints from Nebraska, the State Department agreed Thursday to look for new routes that would steer clear of the state’s Sandhills region and the aquifer, which flows beneath eight states and provides irrigation to huge farming areas.

MIAMI (AP) — By day, Wade Brosz teaches American history at an Arated Florida middle school.

By night, he is a personal trainer at 24 Hour Fitness.

Brosz took the threenight a week job at the gym after his teaching salary was frozen, summer school was reduced drastically, and the state bonus for board certified teachers was cut. He figures that he and his wife, also a teacher, are making about $20,000 less

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.

Indy In China The Izod IndyCar Series will race in China in 2012, choosing a street circuit in the seaport city of Qingdao to replace its traditional trip to Japan.

The Thursday announcement of the Aug. 19 race in China comes as IndyCar CEO Randy Bernard is trying to fill the 2012 schedule.

The schedule had gaps even before two-time Indianapolis 500 winner Dan Wheldon was killed in the Oct. 16 season finale at Las Vegas. Bernard is waiting for the results of that accident investigation to determine whether IndyCar can continue to race on high-banked ovals such as Las Vegas and Texas.

China gives Bernard one new venue on the 2012 schedule and the return to two previous IndyCar tracks. Bernard previously announced a return to Detroit’s Belle Isle Park next June and to Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, Calif., in September.

Tony Stewart dons a boxing robe given to him after his win in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth, Texas Sunday.

Stewart still smokin’ ‘Smoke’ rising toward 3rd NASCAR title CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — When Tony Stewart passed Jimmie Johnson in the outside lane to win at Martinsville Speedway, he’d made, in his mind, a statement that nothing will get in his way of a third NASCAR championship.

He celebrated with a customary victory lap, and as he came around the final turn, Stewart flipped off his engine to better soak in the roar of approval from fans pressed against the fence celebrating his improbable win.

“I turned the engine off, I coasted, because I could hear (the fans) over the engine when it was running,” Stewart recalled. “So I shut it off, and when I heard it from that crowd, it was like ‘Yep, I know where they are wanting this to go.’ “ Stewart pumped his fist when recalling that moment of adoration at the end of the Oct. 30 race. He leaves no doubt that, despite wins in the first two Chase for the Sprint Cup championship races, Martinsville was the place that convinced him he could run down points leader Carl Edwards and be the driver who dethrones five-time defending NASCAR champion Jimmie Johnson.

It would be fitting, too. Stewart was the last driver to win a title before Johnson’s record run and he’s now within striking distance to be the bookend to Johnson’s titles. With

two races remaining, Stewart goes to Phoenix this weekend trailing Edwards by just three points in the Chase standings.

Regardless of the outcome, his turnaround will rank among the greatest in NASCAR history.

Stewart was seriously on edge nine weeks ago, when he needed a clean run at Richmond to ensure a spot in the 12-driver Chase field.

He’d slumped through the summer typically his strongest part of the season and had openly said his StewartHaas Racing team didn’t deserve a spot in the Chase.

Still, he made it, but refused to look at the 10-race title hunt as a fresh start and a chance to rewrite his disappointing season. When asked days before the Chase opener at Chicago who could win the title, Stewart left himself off the list of contenders. Even now, with four wins through the first eight Chase races, Stewart insists he wasn’t lying.

“I wasn’t, I promise,” Stewart said.

“I looked at that field, and I truly was not on that list. We had runs where we ran good during the race, but we couldn’t finish it off or something would happen. It was like ‘We just don’t have it going on.’ And we were all racking our brains to get there, but we just weren’t getting results and we definitely did not have the consistency to contend in a 10-race format.”

Despite wins at Chicago, where several drivers ran into fuel mileage issues, and New Hampshire, where leader Clint Bowyer ran out of gas in the closing laps, Stewart still didn’t believe he was a credible title threat.

Dover, where he struggled all day and finished 25th, confirmed his belief. He hung around through Kansas, Charlotte and Talladega, but his finishes kept him in the middle of the pack.

Then came Martinsville, where Stewart and crew chief Darian Grubb made massive midrace changes to the No. 14 Chevrolet and Stewart refused to give an inch in a frantic battle with former teammate Denny Hamlin to stave off being lapped. He then worked himself into position to challenge Johnson on a final restart and used the outside pass that he believes will define his season.

“I’ve asked, I haven’t talked to everyone, but in casual conversations, nobody ever remembers anybody passing for the lead on the outside at Martinsville,” he said. “That’s where the excitement came from. I think we did something that nobody has done before and that was a statement of where our mind is. We’re going for it. I just had the attitude ‘I am going to go for it and if it doesn’t work, it doesn’t work.’ I’m not going to try to salvage anything, I am going all out for everything.”

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Kyle Busch will be allowed to race in the final two Sprint Cup Series events but without main sponsor M&M’s, The Associated Press has learned.

Busch will drive Sunday at Phoenix and in next weekend’s season finale at Homestead with Interstate Batteries as his sponsor instead, a person familiar with Joe Gibbs Racing’s plans told the AP on Thursday. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because discussions about Busch’s future are ongoing.

Although M&M’s is Busch’s primary sponsor, Interstate Batteries is heavily involved with the team. M&M’s did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The deal ends a week of wrangling over Busch’s future with his race team all fallout from a road rage incident at Texas. Busch wrecked Ron Hornaday Jr. under caution early in the Trucks Series race and was parked by NASCAR for the rest of the weekend.

Busch has admitted he lost control of his temper and has since apologized.

NASCAR suspended him from all racing at Texas, and this week fined him $50,000 and placed him on probation through the end of the year.

But questions from his sponsors put everything in limbo.

In fact, multiple people familiar with Busch’s schedule told the Associated Press that ZLine Designs asked this week that Denny Hamlin replace Busch in next weekend’s Nationwide race at Homestead. The people spoke on condition of anonymity because the meetings over Busch’s future have been ongoing.

Interstate was JGR’s original primary sponsor and only relinquished its role when Busch signed with the team in 2008. The company was the primary sponsor for Busch in six Cup races this season. It also was his sponsor in a Nationwide and Truck Series race and sponsored Hamlin and Joey Logano in one race each.

GM says Roush-Fenway is poised for success HARTFORD, Wis. (AP) — Like many teams in NASCAR, Roush-Fenway Racing has spent the past five-plus years playing catch up to Hendrick Motorsports.

Robbie Reiser, an Allenton native and Roush-Fenway’s general manager, said he believes teams have closed the gap, especially at the RoushFenway shop. Thus, history could be in the making at Roush-Fenway, not at Hendrick Motorsports.

“This season here, we have put a lot of effort into it,” Reiser said. “I would like to say we put more effort into it than any other year, but that’d be wrong. We put the effort in every season. But this year, to get our company turned around and to have the season we’ve had, not only from the (Sprint) Cup side, but the Nationwide side has been spectacular.”

Reiser spoke at a recent induction ceremony for the Southeastern Wisconsin

Short-Track Hall of Fame where his late father and Reiser Enterprises founder, John Reiser, was honored.

In 1994, Reiser formed Reiser Enterprises in Denver, N.C., as a venture into NASCAR with the hope his son, Robbie, would drive the car. In 1997, the team hired Matt Kenseth. It was Kenseth’s break into NASCAR and six years later he won the then-Winston Cup championship with Robbie

Reiser as his crew chief.

John Reiser died of cancer in 2005.

“It really would’ve meant a lot to him,” said Robbie Reiser about his father’s honor. “It really means a lot to the family. I miss him every day.”

Roush-Fenway Racing is on the verge of winning two series championships in NASCAR this season.

Ricky Stenhouse Jr. leads the Nationwide standings, while Carl Edwards leads the Sprint Cup standings

with two races remaining in the season. Stenhouse leads Elliott Sadler by 17 points, while Edwards leads red hot Tony Stewart, who has won four of the eight Chase races so far, by three points. One car owner has never won a Nationwide and Sprint Cup championship in the same season.

Rick Hendrick, owner of Hendrick Motorsports, won the Sprint Cup and Craftsman Truck Series title in 2001.

East grad Accurso running solid for Ohio

BY ROB KISER Ohio Community Media rkiser@dailycall.com It was a typical humble statement from Juli Accurso after her biggest achievement yet in cross country — and maybe one of the biggest ever for a Miami East runner.

Accurso, a sophomore who runs for Ohio University, ran to a Mid-American Conference title October 29 at the Muncie Elks Golf Course at Ball State University in 20:35.3, a PR for her at the 6K distance.

“I was excited,” Accurso said.

ATHENS “But, mostly, I was just tired.”

And while Accurso left Miami East as one of its most decorated runners, finishing seventh in Division III at the state meet her senior year and capping her career that spring by winning the state title in the Division III 1,600-meter run, she said she never envisioned the success she has had at OU.

Miami East’s Sam Cash (33) and Ashley Current (32) go up for a block during the Vikings’ Division III State semifinal victory over Adena Thursday. The Vikings play for the Division III title today against Gates Mills Gilmour Academy.

Brink of history Miami East, Gilmour Academy play for Division III title

BY JOSH BROWN Sports Editor jbrown@tdnpublishing.com Miami East is no newbie when it comes to the state tournament now.

After knocking off Adena — an eight-time qualifier, two-time champion and two-time runnerup — Thursday in the semifinal round, the Vikings (28-1) earned the right to face Gates Mills Gilmour Academy, another school with a state history, today in the Division III State championship match.

The Lancers (26-2) have been to the state tournament four times — all since 2007 — and have a pair of runner-up finishes, in 2008 and again last year.

In 2010, Gilmour Academy lost in the state championship game to Bishop Fenwick — a team the Vikings beat in the regional final to get to state.

But as Miami East showed

CASSTOWN Thursday, history doesn’t matter.

“Nope, not at this point,” Miami East coach John Cash said. “Now it’s all about just going out and playing ball.

“We survived the semifinal game, and that was a big hurdle.

Now it’ll be a championship match, two teams going punch for punch.”

And the Vikings survived against Adena in pretty unconventional fashion – at least for them.

Miami East – one of the strongest serving teams in the state – struggled with its accuracy. The nine aces were a good sign of their typical aggressive serves, but 13 errors put the Vikings against the wall at times.

The Vikings also didn’t win the kind of points they like to

win. On long rallies that crossed the net 15 or more times, Miami East won one point out of seven.

Also, the Vikings weren’t able to score on tips and pushes like they’ve done in the early part of the tournament run.

In the end, none of that mattered.

“We still found a way to win,” Cash said. “That’s two teams in a row that have done their best homework on us and we’ve still beat them.

“Sometimes, it just comes down to players making plays.

We’ve been fortunate that the girls have been able to do that this season. They’ve done it all season, and there’s no reason to believe that’ll change Saturday.”

But the Vikings — who have been ranked No. 1 in the state in D-III all season — will face their toughest test yet.

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) — Penn State placed assistant coach Mike McQueary on administrative leave, capping a tumultuous week in which his name surfaced as a key witness in a grand jury investigation into child sexual abuse allegations against a former coach.

School president Rod Erickson notified McQueary of the decision Friday, a day after the school said the receivers coach would not be present Saturday when the Nittany Lions play Nebraska because he has received threats.

McQueary testified in a jury grand investigation that eventually led to child sexa b u s e charges being MCQUEARY filed against former Penn State defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky.

The ensuing scandal brought down longtime coach Joe Paterno, who was fired by university trustees amid growing criticism that he should have done more to stop the alleged abuse.

McQueary, who testified that he saw Sandusky sodomizing a boy in the shower in 2002, has endured similar scrutiny.

The university’s athletic department released a one-line statement Thursday night saying it would be “in the best interest of all” if the receivers coach didn’t attend the season’s final home game at Beaver Stadium. The school did not provide details on precisely who threatened McQueary.

Asked if McQueary was placed on leave for his conduct or to ensure his safety, Erickson said it was “a complicated situation.

“What became clear is that, under any circumstances, he would not be able to function in a coaching role,” Erickson said in his first news conference as president. He replaced Graham Spanier who, like Paterno, was fired Wednesday night.

OSU puts three-game win streak on line Buckeyes battle Purdue today Woods leads Australian Open The latest comparison between Tiger Woods and Jack Nicklaus was not about winning majors.

It was about remembering how to win.

Woods took a big step toward putting himself in position Friday in the Australian Open with a second straight day of crisp, controlled shots for a 5-under 67 that gave him a one-shot lead over Peter O’Malley going into the weekend at The Lakes.

See Page 18.

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. (AP) — With little fanfare, things appear to have returned to normal for Ohio State.

The Big Ten season has been dominated by Penn State’s firing of Joe Paterno, Wisconsin’s early run near the top of the polls, Michigan State’s rise and fall, and newcomer Nebraska’s chances at winning the league.

The Buckeyes struggled early while several players were suspended, and seemed a lost team

after an epic collapse led to a 3427 loss at Nebraska.

Now, a three-game winning streak has given the Buckeyes an outside shot at winning the Leaders Division. The Buckeyes are two games behind Penn State and can’t afford to slip Saturday at Purdue.

Ohio State linebacker Tyler Moeller doesn’t expect focus to be an issue.

“We do have a strong identity,” he said. “We’re tough.

Anything that comes our way I think we can handle. We dealt with so many things on the field, off the field this year. If some-

thing happens, I think guys are doing a great job of handling it, kind of just shrugging it off, handling it face up.”

The Buckeyes (6-3, 3-2 Big Ten) had to work for their 34-20 home win against heavy underdog Indiana last Saturday. Ohio State coach Luke Fickell said he hopes his team learned from the close call against the Hoosiers.

“We have to make sure our guys can understand the challenges every week whether we’re home or away,” Fickell said.

“Hopefully that’s one thing we can take out of last week. It doesn’t matter. It’s a new week every

week. Whether you’re on the road, whether you’re at home, it’s about you.”

Daniel Herron’s return from suspension has lifted the Buckeyes. He rushed for 114 yards and a touchdown at Illinois, carried a career-best 33 times for 160 yards in a lastminute upset of Wisconsin and added 141 yards and a score in last week’s win.

“He’s a difference-maker, certainly one of the top backs in the league, and has to be one of the top backs in the country from a

Buckeyes ■ CONTINUED FROM 17 talent standpoint,” Purdue coach Danny Hope said.

Purdue (4-5, 2-3) has to try to stop the run with a defense that allowed 364 yards rushing to Wisconsin.

The Boilermakers will also face an offensive line that averages 307 pounds per starter.

“Their offensive line is pretty big like Wisconsin’s, and they’re shifty and they’ve got quickness,” Purdue defensive lineman Kawann Short said. “We’ve got to take on the challenge and do what we’ve got to do to stop the run.”

Ohio State’s quarterback Braxton Miller has 45 carries for 238 yards the

past three games, “We’ve got to keep him contained and be around him all the time because he’s liable to run,” Short said. “He’s kind of like a young Terrelle Pryor. Once he gets that stride going, he’s going to be hard to catch and hard to bring down.”

But Miller has struggled at

times with the passing game. During the win streak, the Buckeyes have attempted just 27 passes and gained 54 yards per game. Fickell said that needs to change.

“We know we have to get better at it,” he said.

“We know if there’s any chance for us to be where we want to be in the end

we got to do a better job obviously of throwing the football.”

The Boilermakers need to win two of three to become bowl-eligible. Hope has reminded his team that at one point, it won two of three, hung tough in a 23-18 loss at Penn State and was near the top of the Leaders Division.

“We are not that far removed from playing really well just a couple of weeks ago,” he said. “We gave up some big plays on the defensive side of the ball and we made some mistakes against some topquality opponents and lost a couple of games, but I think our confidence is OK and will be OK.”

Woods in lead at Aussie Open SYDNEY (AP) — The latest comparison between Tiger Woods and Jack Nicklaus was not about winning majors.

It was about remembering how to win.

Woods took a big step toward putting himself in position Friday in the Australian Open with a second straight day of crisp, controlled shots for a 5-under 67 that gave him a one-shot lead over Peter O’Malley going into the weekend at The Lakes.

No one from his generation has more experience being in contention than Woods, a winner 82 times around the world. But those occasions have been rare over the last few years.

This is the first time Woods has been atop the leaderboard since the third round of the Chevron World Challenge last December, where he blew a four-shot lead to Graeme McDowell on the last day. It’s the first time he’s had the lead against a full field since his last win two years ago in the Australian Masters.

Woods knows as well as anyone that 36 holes is too early to crown a champion. The question is whether he will react in the manner that once came so naturally when a tournament is at stake.

While in the process of rebuilding his swing and learning to trust it, getting into contention has not been as easy as it once seemed.

“I think experience comes with managing myself and my game,” Woods said. “I’ve been there a few times and I understand how to do it.

All the things that can happen, I’ve experienced a lot of it.”

True, but he hasn’t experienced it since that Sunday at the Masters, when he was tied for the lead going to the back nine, shot even par as everyone behind him made birdies and tied for fourth. And before that was the Chevron World Challenge, when he had only one shot and couldn’t hold off McDowell.

“It comes back,” Woods said of knowing how to win. “When Jack won in ‘86 at the Masters, it came back. You know what it feels like. You know what to do.”

Nicklaus had not won in two years and was thought to be past his time when he shot 30 on the back nine at Augusta National to claim his sixth green jacket and 18th professional major, the benchmark that Woods still at 14 majors

Tiger Woods plays a shot on the 17th fairway during the second round of the Australian Open golf tournament in Sydney, Australia on Friday. now chases. third round The Saturday was shaping up to be important for Woods, who was at 9-under 135.

O’Malley is a member at The Lakes and a familiar name for Woods. The Australian was the No. 64 seed at the Match Play Championship when he knocked out Woods in the first round at La Costa in 2002.

He now closes his eyes over the shorter putts to help his concentration, although it might help block out what was sure to be another massive crowd crammed in along the sand dunes and under the tea trees.

Jason Day, who turns 24 on Saturday, spent the opening two rounds playing with Woods and recovered from a few loose tee shots for a 68 that left him only two shots behind. Nick Watney faded on the front nine and was three shots behind Woods.

There is reason to believe this time that Woods is making greater strides toward returning to his game. The first two

days have been blustery, the kind of wind that can turn mediocre shots into bad ones. Woods didn’t have many of those.

“It feels good,” he said of seeing his name atop the leaderboard. “It feels good that I am there playing properly. It’s not like I’m slashing it all over the place. I’m hitting the ball well.”

And he is hitting shots that few others can, the kind of shots that made Day realize that Woods is capable of doing things he can’t. The best example came from the middle of the fairway on the par-5 eighth hole toward the end of their second round.

Both had about 280 yards to the hole into a 15 mph wind.

Day hit 3-wood into the front bunker. Woods hit 3-wood that looked like a bullet, fading gently onto the green to about 30 feet. It was as pure a shot as he has hit all year, one that brought a smile to his face when asked about it.

“I hit that good,” he said. “A slightly hanging lie. I had to start it into

the bunker and just hammer it, and I did. It slid about three yards. It was the best shot I’ve hit so far.”

He hit enough others to set up easy birdies, and picked up another between his two bogeys with a 25-foot putt on the fourth hole that broke about 6 inches at the end and led Woods to look down and lightly pump his fists.

Day was one of many youngsters who grew up in golf trying to be like Tiger. He finally played with him at a time when Woods is trying to make it back, having slipped to No. 58 in the world.

“He hits shots that the top 1 percent of the PGA Tour players can’t hit, especially that 3-wood,” Day said. “It was a long, long 3-wood, a low bullet.

There are not many players in the world that can hit those kind of shots.”

Also playing with them was Robert Allenby, who seems to get paired with Woods frequently and saw a familiar game even as the Australian was missing the cut.

■ CONTINUED FROM 17 front-row hitters with more than 200 kills this season in seniors Maria Cup and Maddie Kosar and sophomore Jess Janota. And at 6-foot, 5-8 and 6-3, respectively, they will be the first team to compare height-wise with the Vikings this year. And even though setter Megan Polak is but a freshman, the Vikings especially know that age doesn’t matter.

“They play pretty stingy defense, they’re a good serving team and they’ve got some size that matches up to us,” Cash said. “Their lefty, Kosar, gives a different look and has a pretty diverse game, and Cup is a finisher.”

Miami East is already somewhat familiar with Gilmour Academy, too. The

Vikings and Lancers scrimmaged in the preseason – a scrimmage the Vikings won 25-23, 25-22.

But the Vikings also know just how little that win matters now.

“We scrimmaged earlier in the year, so we’re familiar with what they can do and how they play,” Cash said. “But I’m sure things have changed for both of us since then. We weren’t even running our offense then. And their freshman setter has a year of experience now. In the summer, you’re just trying to put everything together.”

At this point, though, all of the scrimmages, regular season matches and tournament games don’t matter. Nor does either team’s history.

Today, history will be made.

■ National Basketball Association

NBA could be sunk or saved in days NEW YORK (AP) — The time for talk in the NBA is over.

David Stern made that clear Thursday, saying the league is done negotiating. The next time he hears from the players’ association, he expects an answer: Yes, players will accept the league’s latest proposal for a new collective bargaining agreement, or no they won’t.

If they do, the NBA will commence with a 72game season on Dec. 15.

And if no? Then the next time LeBron James, Kobe Bryant and the rest of the NBA’s biggest stars are in uniform, it might

be in London during next summer’s Olympics.

So the NBA’s lengthy labor fight could come to an end this week. Or, the next phase might just be beginning.

Should players reject this deal and they certainly don’t love it the next one comes with terms they would never accept, likely sending them into the court system to file an antitrust lawsuit against the league after disbanding the union. That’s far from an assured victory, but it practically assures there would be no 2011-12 season.

East, is not the skinny girl who wore the blue-andwhite back in junior high.

“It is (pretty amazing),” she said. “Just to see the way I have matured — and other runners have matured — that is one of the great things about it.”

Today, Accurso will run in the NCAA regionals with a chance to qualify for nationals.

“I don’t think so,” Accurso said about it being a realistic goal to qualify for nationals. “But, you never know.

“If I qualify, that’s great.

If I go out and run my best

race and don’t qualify, I will be happy with that.

That (winning the MAC), has definitely raised my expectations (for the next two years).”

But as always for Accurso, being a role model for young athletes at Miami East, is the most important thing.

“That is the one thing I always want to do,” Accurso said. “I want them to see what you can accomplish if you work hard.”

And as always, Accurso will let her running do the talking — and her success speaks volumes.

■ College Cross Country

Accurso ■ CONTINUED FROM 17 (high school races are 5K), different training and just overall the adjustment of going from high school to college life.”

She remembers her first 6K race as a freshman.

“I was kind of nervous about it, thinking about it before the race,” she said.

“I remember asking the coaches what the difference was and they told me it is basically, just the same. Just a little longer at the end. So, I was thinking, OK, I need to go out a little slower if it is longer at the end. But, I have learned I

can’t do that.”

She finished 32nd at the MAC meet as a freshman.

But by the start of this fall, she had gotten the attention of her coaches at OU. “My coach told me if I kept it up, I could make first or second team AllMAC, which is the top 14 in the race,” she said.

“Things have just gone really well this year. I ran a 20:43 my first 6K this year and that was a PR for me. I hadn’t beat it again until the MAC race.”

But she had run a

17:55.38 5K two weeks ago to win the All-Ohio Collegiate Championships.

“That definitely did help me,” she said. “I think one of the biggest things this year is my teammates.

We are always encouraging each other and it just helps you so much to be around such a positive environment.”

Still, Accurso knows other runners were not expecting her to do what she did Saturday.

“I don’t think so,” Accurso said when asked if she was one of the favorites. “I think it was

kind of a surprise. I just wanted to stay up with the leaders. About midway through the race, I was with the leaders and I thought I could do pretty good.”

With about 1,000 meters to go, Accurso took the lead and went on to win by 13 seconds. Toledo’s Emma Kertesz finished second.

“It was a cool feeling (when she took the lead),” Accurso said. “But, it was kind of weird (to be in the lead).”

Ohio State’s Jared Sullinger, right, shoots over Wright State’s Johann Mpondo (4) during the first half Friday in Columbus.

Buckeyes throttle Raiders COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Preseason AllAmerican Jared Sullinger scored 19 points to go with nine rebounds in leading No. 3 Ohio State to a 73-42 win over Wright State on Friday night in the Global Sports Shootout.

William Buford added 13 points for the Buckeyes. Point guard Aaron Craft had 10 points and just one turnover in 28 minutes in the opener for both teams.

A.J. Pacher had 13 points and Reggie Arcenaux 11 for Wright State, which was 19-14 a year ago but doesn’t have a player on the roster with more than a year of experience with the Raiders.

Bigger, quicker Ohio State was 26 of 38 at the free-throw line compared to Wright State’s 10 of 15.

The Buckeyes led 3420 at the half, with Sullinger picking up nine of his 13 points at the line.

Ohio State on Tuesday hosts No. 8 Florida, coming off a 99-59 winner over Jackson State.

Nationals’ Ramos rescued CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — Venezuelan police rescued Washington Nationals catcher Wilson Ramos on Friday, two days after he was kidnapped, officials announced.

Justice Minister Tareck El Aissami said on state television that Ramos was “safe and sound” and that he was rescued by police.

He said the circumstances weren’t immediately clear.

Information Minister Andres Izarra initially reported the rescue via Twitter, saying Ramos was “found alive by security forces in mountainous zone.”

Izarra said it was “a rescue operation by air,” which was authorized earlier in the day by President Hugo Chavez. “Ramos free!” said one message on Izarra’s account.

Ramos’ mother celebrated, exclaiming on television: “Thanks to God!” “Thanks to my country, to my neighbors and to my family, who were supporting us,” she said.

Armed men seized Ramos at gunpoint Wednesday night outside his home in a workingclass neighborhood in the city of Valencia. Authorities said Thursday that they had found a stolen SUV used by the kidnappers abandoned in a nearby town.
