Trial begins for Fletcher man Polhamus charged with two felony counts of receiving stolen property Staff Report

Obama defends ambassador Setting an unflinching tone for his second term, President Barack Obama on Wednesday accused two top Republicans senators of lobbing outrageous criticism at his United Nations ambassador instead of confronting him directly over a deadly attack on Americans in Libya. “They should go after me,” Obama said, referring to Sens. John McCain of Arizona, his 2008 White House rival, and Lindsey Graham of South Carolina. See Page 5.

Transit brass cite progress New York transit officials marked a milestone in the aftermath of Superstorm Sandy on Wednesday by restoring limited service to the last of 10 branches of the Long Island Rail Road commuter line and declaring that nearly all New York City subway service was now operational. See Page 9.

Hamas chief assassinated Israel carried out a blistering offensive of more than 50 airstrikes in the Gaza Strip on Wednesday, assassinating Hamas’ military commander and targeting the armed group’s training facilities and rocket launchers in Israel’s most intense attack on the territory in nearly four years. Israel said the airstrikes, launched in response to days of rocket fire out of Hamas-ruled Gaza, were the beginning of a broader operation against the Islamic militants codenamed “Pillar of Defense.” See Page 5.

OUTLOOK

A Fletcher man’s two-day bench trial began in common pleas court Wednesday for his allegedly being in possession of a stolen semitractor from a Texas impound lot, in addition to possessing several other suspected stolen vehicles at his Fletcher farmstead.

Clifford A. Polhamus Jr., 60, has been charged with two counts of receiving stolen property, felonies of the fourth-degree, and one count of having a weapon while under disability, a third-degree felony. He pleaded not guilty to those charges in June at his arraignment. Judge Christopher Gee is hearing the bench trial and is expected to issue a verdict in the

TROY case as early as Friday, according to the judge’s office. Authorities arrested Pohlhamus on April 18 at his property, located at 5345 E. U.S. Route 36, east of Fletcher, while serving a search warrant and seized several semi tractors and at least one vehicle, in addition to a firearm and several financial documents.

PLEASANT HILL McBride said. “I say this from the bottom of my heart how thankful we are for the support you have given over the years.” The Miami County Foundation also awarded the school district the following grants: $128 for Family Consumer Sciences; $2,030 for computer lab software; and $3,376 for the high school physics and chemistry lab accessories. Both Favorite and Dickerson said the rebound of the stock market helped fund more grants for schools and other county agencies this year. “The grant planet lined up this time,” Dickerson said.

The Miami County Foundation awarded 103 separate grants totaling $290,611. Richard E. Hunt established the organization 27 years ago to assist the county’s community organizations and schools. Favorite encouraged the board and McBride to urge teachers and staff members to continue to apply for grants with the foundation. “Newton got one of the largest grants awarded this year,” Favorite said. Nick Hamilton reported to the board the district is in the black by $359,752; last year the district was in the black by $377,676. Hamilton reported the district’s income tax

The Piqua High School gymnasium was packed to the rafters Wednesday morning, just days after Veterans Day, for a Call to Duty ceremony in honor of 165 soldiers with the Ohio Army National Guard’s 1487th Transportation Company. The send-off of the unit, which is stationed in Eaton but operates a detachment from Piqua, was accompanied by the patriotic tunes of an ONG band, spouses waving flags and holding up signs, and tearful children who will spend the next long year waiting for the return of a mother or a father from Afghanistan. The troops, who left by bus after the ceremony, are being deployed to Afghanistan to provide tactical ground transportation security in support of Operation Enduring Freedom after attending training at Fort Hood in Texas. As each of the soldiers filed in one-by-one at the start of the ceremony the crowd cheered and clapped wildly, some even as tears rolled down their faces. “This is truly a fitting ceremony to send off these great warriors, but can you imagine how great it will be a year from now when we are back here welcoming them home?” asked ONG Maj. Gen. Deborah Ashenhurst. “Those are the really good ceremonies.” Ashenhurst thanked each soldier for the sacrifices they have made in the last year as they prepared for deployment and the sacrifices they will make in the coming year. “Thank you for stepping up to the plate and taking up this mission,” she said. “You have been training and preparing for this deployment and your efforts have been nothing short of spectacular, your performance has been remarkable and your service has not gone unnoticed.” The commander of the 1487th Transportation Company, Capt. Stephen Sturgill, who is charged with leading the soldiers, assured friends and families in attendance that he

Her husband, who used to work with Mayor Mike Beamish, added that the yard will actually have a net gain of trees soon, though. They’ll be adding a white birch where the tree used to stand, and a blue spruce will be planted nearby later. Another — a potted Christmas tree — will be planted in the backyard after the holiday season. “I think environmentalists sometimes get upset with Christmas trees being cut down, but soon we’ll have three trees instead of one,� he said. As for the Millers’ own indoor Christmas tree, they’re planning on getting a miniature tree, rather than selecting their own at a tree farm. “We’re putting up a very small one — not like this,� Connie said, gesturing to their tree, now on the semi. “We bought a small potted tree from our granddaughter’s school.�

Obama responds warily to sex scandal, FBI probe WASHINGTON (AP) — Responding warily to his administration’s sudden sex scandal, President Barack Obama said Wednesday he’s seen no evidence that national security was damaged by the revelations that ended his CIA director’s career and imperil that of his Afghan war commander. But the president said he is reserving judgment about how the FBI has handled the investigation that began in the summer but didn’t reach his desk until after

last week’s election. “I have a lot of confidence, generally, in the FBI,� Obama said, qualifying his words of support for the agency and its actions in the case. As Obama spoke about the scandal from the White House, legislators on Capitol Hill were grilling FBI and CIA officials privately about the same issues: whether national security was jeopardized by the case and why they didn’t know about the investigation sooner. “I have no evidence at this point, from what I’ve seen, that classified information was disclosed that

in any way would have had a negative impact on our national security,� Obama said at his first postelection news conference. As for the FBI’s handling of the matter, Obama said: “My expectation is that they follow the protocols that they’ve already established. One of the challenges here is that we’re not supposed to meddle in criminal investigations, and that’s been our practice.� Federal law enforcement officials have said the FBI didn’t inform the White House and Congress sooner about the original investigation because of rules set up after the Watergate

scandal to prevent interference in criminal investigations and that lawmakers weren’t given notice of potential national security problems because the bureau had quickly resolved them. CIA Director David Petraeus resigned Friday, two days after the White House was notified that he’d acknowledged having an affair with his biographer, Paula Broadwell. The FBI’s investigation of the matter began last summer when Tampa, Fla., socialite Jill Kelley turned over anonymous emails that had been sent to her and Gen. John Allen, the top U.S. commander in Afghanistan. The first anonymous email was sent to Allen in May, under the pseudonym “Kelleypatrol,� and he forwarded it to Kelley. That email warned Allen to stay away from Kelley, according to a person close to Kelley who spoke on condition of anonymity because the investigation into the emails is ongoing. That same email later traced to Broadwell said the writer knew about a future meeting Allen and Kelley had scheduled. Allen thought the email was a joke or that it was possibly from Kelley because he didn’t know how anyone else would know

about their planned meeting, the person close to Kelley said. Kelley was a friend of Allen and Petraeus, both of whom she had met in Tampa when the men served there. One of the federal law enforcement officials confirmed Wednesday that FBI agents were concerned that somebody was tracking the movements of Allen and Petraeus, raising the possibility of a national security breach. Kelley’s complaints about the threatening emails triggered the FBI investigation that led to the resignation of Petraeus and the inquiry into her communications with Allen. Officials said Broadwell apparently saw Kelley as a rival for Petraeus’ affections. The official also said Wednesday that Broadwell sent emails to a couple of other senior military officials besides Petraeus and Allen. The official characterized the emails as an attempt to undermine Kelley’s reputation. The FBI found a substantial number of classified documents on Broadwell’s computer, and she has told agents that took classified documents out of secure government buildings, according to the official.

WM police officers honored by council Backs DP & L as the village’s electric provider BY JOHN BADEN For the Troy Daily News editorial@tdnpublishing.com The West Milton Police Department was honored Tuesday night at the village council meeting. Police Chief Garry Kimpel handed out certificates to police officers for their hard work and dedication. Officers Todd Daley, Ross Grove, Michael Morgan, Chase Underwood, Adam Simpson and Jason Stevens were honored as well as Sergeant Tracey Hendricks and Sergeant Randy Shade. After Kimpel finished, municipal manager Matt Kline praised Kimpel for his hard work as well. “It was a team effort, but the team has an excellent leader in Chief Kimpel,” Kline said. Affinity Program Council unanimously passed a resolution that endorsed Dayton Power & Light Energy Resources, Inc. as the entire city’s retail electric provider. The affinity program lowers electric rates by 35 percent. Residents can expect a letter in the mail explaining the program, a rate comparison chart, and how to sign up by the end of the year. Income tax changes Council also discussed an ordinance that will amend five items in West Milton’s income tax code. Kline said that the changes had mostly been recommended to them by Vandalia, which will start collecting the city’s taxes in January. Changes are as follows: • Moving the filing date from April 30 up to April 15. • Individuals who are currently retired and have no income subject to taxation will only have to file one time after retirement;

WEST MILTON and operating losses will not be allowed to be carried over. • Landlords will be required to submit an updated list of all their renters before Oct. 31 of each year, which will help the municipality keep track of residents living in rental properties. • Finally, there will be a penalty of $25 for people who are late in filing or do not file his or her taxes. Building updates The city officially entered a 20-year lease agreement with MiltonUnion Schools with a resolution passage that supported using the land on 112 S. Spring St., which was home to MiltonUnion’s elementary and middle school buildings. The agreement also includes the five tennis courts on Jay Road. The city plans to use the lease to promote recreational opportunities for city residents by making the former school grounds into a splash pad or skate park. With the passage of the Brick House Café expansion earlier this month, West Milton is looking to get the ball rolling in demolishing the former Paul Vance Products building, located at 12 S. Miami St., to make room for more parking in town. Being funded by the

Community Development Block Grant program, Kline said that the county will not get a release of the funds until at least midDecember and will not use any of the money until after the holidays. As a result, Kline and the municipality will start putting together bid specifications, so the city can go out for bids at the end of January and first couple weeks of February. With the need for a city council approval of the finalized bid, Kline said that residents won’t see any tear down of the PVP building until March at the earliest. “Everyone’s anxious, and they want to see things torn down and built and everything,” Kline said. “Unfortunately in government, it just takes time.” Lower your speed The police have recently acquired a speed radar trailer, which was placed on Main Street across from the Milton-Union Public Library for a test run on Tuesday. According to Kline, the brand new trailer works well and can collect data even if it’s turned off. It will be used in neighborhoods that often have speeding complaints and when Ben Herron, Supervisor of Streets and Grounds, and his men are working in the street. “It just has a subconscious effect of slowing down traffic,” Kline said.

PERSPECTIVE

EDITORIAL ROUNDUP The Pantagraph, Bloomington, Ill., on fruit and vegetable consumption: Yet another group has weighed in on organic fruits and vegetables. It’s rather surprising, since it’s clear that eating any fruits and vegetables can only be a benefit. Most recently, the American Academy of Pediatrics said pesticidefree food doesn’t translate to healthier people. An earlier study by Stanford University said eating organic food reduces exposure to pesticides, but “the amount measured in conventionally grown produce was within safety limits.” All sides can agree that unless you grow your own, organic food does tend to be more expensive. Supporters say it tastes better, often is fresher, and has less impact on soil and the environment because of a lack of pesticides and shorter travel distances from farm to store. Detractors note the label “organic” is not well defined and that the price difference and lack of noticeable health benefits make it a questionable and expensive choice. Nutritionists agree Americans eat fewer than the recommended amount of fruits, vegetables and whole grains overall, regardless of the food’s origin If you’re worried about pesticides and pennies, the pediatrician’s group recommends buying organic versions of foods that use higher amounts of pesticides — apples, peaches, strawberries, celery — and buying traditional versions of other items. Organic or not, you need to know what you’re eating and how much is reasonable. If you’re not sure, or are embarrassed to ask, go to www.choosemyplate.gov. The site, administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, has all sorts of fun and informative ways to learn about starting and maintaining a good diet. San Francisco Chronicle on Obama’s re-election: President Barack Obama won re-election in a nation that proved itself even more polarized than when he took office. The outcome was excruciatingly close, both nationally and in the battleground states. Republicans maintained control of the U.S. House of Representatives. GOP nominee Mitt Romney fared better than Obama with independent voters. Obama was the first president in recent history to win re-election by a smaller margin than he received four years earlier. The tone of this campaign — by both sides — was unduly negative on both sides. An appeal to the Democratic base was enough for Obama to prevail in a matchup with Romney. But the challenges facing this nation — starting with an economic plan to avoid the coming “fiscal cliff” — are going to require bipartisan support. And the stakes are too consequential for both parties to retreat into their bad habits of blame and gridlock. Moreover, Obama has plenty of unfinished business that he barely touched in his first term. The nation drifted another four years without making a serious effort to combat climate change. Our immigration policy remains a tangled mess of contradictions and detachment from reality. Social Security and Medicare continue on a collision course with generational disaster. Voters again have put their faith in Obama to take on the challenges of our times, albeit with a tempered expectation of what might be possible. There were many good reasons to believe that he, more than Romney, has the leadership skills and priorities that are needed at this critical time. His first term accomplishments were achieved despite a determined effort by Republicans to stymie him at every turn. The onus is on Obama, as the freshly re-elected president, to take the lead in overcoming this polarization that seems to have turned almost everything into a partisan fight in Washington. … It’s not getting any easier in a nation still deeply divided.

The difference between what’s real and fake If there’s one thing a lifetime spent watching professional wrestling has taught me, it’s the ability to discern between what is real and what is fake. For example, I know the love my big sister has for her little brother is a very real thing. She was the one who held my hand on the way to the bus stop when I was in first grade. When my parents forgot and left me at Troy Memorial Stadium after one of her high school soccer games (long story), she was the one who led the search party to find me. When The Ohio State University wanted to kick me so far off campus I’d never find my way back again (even longer story), she was the one who said she’d “walk to Columbus” if she had to defend her little brother. And when I was to attend my first live pro wrestling event at Hara Arena, it was my big sister my mom sent to watch over me. Her reasoning? “None of the wrestlers would ever mess with Julie.” And she was right. When “Mr. Wonderful” Paul Orndorff and “Cowboy” Bob Orton engaged in a brawl that night that spilled out of the ring and into the seats near where we were sit-

David Fong Troy Daily News Executive Editor ting, she was the one who stepped in between her little brother and more than 500 pounds of untamed wrestling fury. I know about a few other things that are real, too. I know my sister’s love for my children is absolutely real. She loves Max and Sophie like they were her own children. Twice a week she is the one who picks up Max from preschool or the autism center he attends in Fairborn. She cherishes her “dates” with Max, taking him to McDonald’s and watching him devour french fries by the dozen. The deep emotion I see in her eyes every time she squeezes her little buddy close to her is probably the most real thing in the world. And I can only hope

— Ruben Pelayo Owner

Sophie grows up to be a little bit like her Aunt Julie — funloving, compassionate and fiercely loyal. I also know my sister’s battle with cancer two years ago was probably the most real — and scary — things I’ve ever lived through. I still remember waking up on a January morning to a simple, two-word text message: “It’s cancer.” I remember my entire world falling apart in seconds. I immediately called my wife to tell her — but no words came, just sobs and tears. It would be minutes before my poor wife — fearful something had happened to one of the children — was able to get me to calm down long enough to tell her exactly what was wrong. Julie’s subsequent battle with cancer was a very real thing. She fought that horrible disease the same way she would have fought for her little brother. I also remember the way the community came together for her — with dinners brought to her house, offers to drive her back and forth to chemotherapy and radiation treatments in Columbus, fundraisers to help offset her medical bills and loving words

of kindness and encouragement. It became pretty obvious to me through her battle she had touched hundreds of other lives just as she had touched mine. Their love for her was very real. Last month, I tried to come up with a birthday present for my “real” hero and inspiration. A variety of ideas came up, but eventually I settled on a pair of tickets to see the World Wrestling Entertainment’s “Monday Night Raw” show at the Nutter Center. This Monday, my sister and I will have ringside seats to see CM Punk battle Ryback — I just hope, for their sake, they don’t get too close to me lest my sister be forced to step in between us. My sister also has prepared a sign to hold up for the television cameras to see. It reads, “I beat cancer to be here.” I’m thinking about holding up my own sign, “I love my big sister.” It wouldn’t get any more real than that. Troy’s very own David Fong appears on Thursdays in the Troy Daily News. Pro wrestling is real.

Obama blasts senators: ‘They should go after me’ WASHINGTON (AP) — Setting an unflinching tone for his second term, President Barack Obama on Wednesday accused two top Republicans senators of lobbing outrageous criticism at his United Nations ambassador instead of confronting him directly over a deadly attack on Americans in Libya. “They should go after me,” Obama said, referring to Sens. John McCain of Arizona, his 2008 White House rival, and Lindsey Graham of South Carolina. Obama’s comments, at a far-reaching news conference, underscored how much the Libya attack shadows the president, how strongly U.N. ambassador Susan Rice is being considered for secretary of state and how eager Obama is for some fights even as he talks compromise on others. For the first time, Obama reflected on the meaning of his re-election victory, offering a more limited reading of his economic mandate from voters. He promised to begin work on a major immigration bill soon after his January inauguration and said he would at least pursue broader ways to attack the global-warming climate change. Pressed on challenges abroad, Obama said he was not ready to formally recognize Syria’s opposition leadership or arm it. The president also insisted there was still time to peacefully solve a nuclear standoff with Iran, saying he would push again soon for international talks “to get this thing resolved.” Obama sketched out his priorities, most first urgently a plea for Congress to join him in preventing a new year’s tax increase for families earning under $250,000. That issue is part of a broader set of tax-and-spending decisions that must be resolved by Jan. 1 or the economy could tank. Obama himself used the word “recession.” Despite his hopes for an economic focus, Obama’s

postelection began with a scandal unfolding on his watch. He said he has seen “no evidence” of any national security breach in the sex scandal that led his director, David CIA Petraeus, to resign in disgrace over an extramarital affair. The most memorable exchange of the session with reporters involved the U.N. ambassador, Susan Rice. Rarely does such a fight unfold before even an official nomination is made. Obama’s admonishing of McCain and Graham came on a day in which both men had critical words for Rice. To some Republicans, she is the face of the debacle in Libya because of her comments on Sunday talk shows five days after the Sept. 11 attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi that left four Americans dead. “If Sen. McCain and Sen. Graham and others want to go after somebody, they should go after me,” he said. “I’m happy to have that discussion with them. But for them to go after the U.N. ambassador who had nothing to do with Benghazi … To besmirch her reputation is outrageous.” “Mr. President, don’t think for one minute I don’t hold you ultimately responsible,” Graham shot back. Rice’s role is back at the fore because of congressional hearings into the Libya attack and because she is believed to be a front-runner for secretary of state. Hillary Rodham Clinton plans to leave that job soon. McCain has said earlier Wednesday he would seek to block Rice if nominated, and Graham said, “I don’t trust her.” Obama said he if wants to nominate Rice, he will. On Syria, Obama spoke after France became the first Western nation to recognize the new opposition group as the only legitimate representative of the Syrian people. “We’re not yet prepared to recognize them as some sort of government in exile,” Obama

President Barack Obama answers a question during a news conference in the East Room of the White House in Washington, Wednesday. said. “But we do think that it is a broad-based representative group.” The Libya episode is also entangled with the sudden career fall of the CIA chief at the time, David Petraeus. He resigned last week after disclosing an extramarital affair that had been uncovered during an FBI investigation into another matter. The same scandal has also put a cloud of the Afghan war commander, Gen. John Allen. Obama said he hoped the scandal would end up being but a “single sidenote” in Petraeus’ stellar career. He was more measured in his defense of the FBI and in the way he was just notified about the Petraeus investigation last week, saying he was withholding judgment until more facts come. Between the personnel controversy and the effort to prevent a fiscal crisis on Jan. 1, Obama conceded he had not had much reflec-

tion on the campaign. “I think everybody forgets that the election was only a week ago,” he said. “I know I’ve forgotten.” He said he still plans to reach out to his Republican rival, Mitt Romney, to get ideas on improving the government and the economy. And, yes, he must work better with Congress. “All of us have responsibilities to see if there are things we can improve on,” he said. “I don’t exempt myself from needing to, you know, do some selfreflection.” Obama won a second term handily in the electoral college, but about 48 percent of the voting public wanted Republican Mitt Romney in office instead. “I’m more than familiar with all the literature about presidential overreach in second terms,” Obama said. He said the only mandate he got from voters was simple “work really hard to help us.”

Israel assassinates Hamas military chief GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip (AP) — Israel carried out a blistering offensive of more than 50 airstrikes in the Gaza Strip on Wednesday, assassinating Hamas’ military commander and targeting the armed group’s training facilities and rocket launchers in Israel’s most intense attack on the territory in nearly four years. Israel said the airstrikes, launched in response to days of rocket fire out of Hamas-ruled Gaza, were the beginning of a broader operation against the Islamic militants codenamed “Pillar of Defense.” Israeli defense officials said a ground operation was a strong possibility in the coming days though they stressed no decisions had been made and much would depend on Hamas’ reaction. There were no immediate signs of extraordinary troop deployments along the border. The attack came at a time when Israel seems to be under fire from all directions. Relations have been deteriorating with Egypt’s new Islamist government, Egypt’s lawless Sinai desert has become a staging ground for militant attacks on Israel, and the Syrian civil war has begun to spill over Israel’s northern border. Earlier this week, Israel fired back at Syria for the first time in nearly 40 years after stray mortar fire landed in the Israeli-controlled Golan Heights. With at least 10 Palestinians dead, including two young children, Wednesday’s offensive was certain to set off a new round of heavy fighting with Gaza militants, who have built up a formidable arsenal of rockets and missiles. It also threatened to upset Israel’s relations with neighboring Egypt and shake up the campaign for Israeli elections in January. In a preliminary response, Egypt recalled its ambassador to Israel in protest. In a nationwide address, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel could no longer stand repeated attacks on its southern towns. Days of rocket fire have heavily disrupted life for some 1 million people in the region, canceling school and forcing residents to remain indoors.

An Israeli man stands next to a car damaged by a rocket fired by Palestinian militants from the Gaza Strip in the southern Israeli city of Beersheva, Wednesday. “If there is a need, the military is prepared to expand the operation. We will continue to do everything to protect our citizens,” Netanyahu declared. The Israeli military said it was ready, if necessary, to send ground troops into Gaza. The defense officials who said a ground operation was likely in the coming days spoke on condition of anonymity because they were discussing sensitive military plans. “We are at the beginning of the event, and not the end,” Defense Minister Ehud Barak said, in a joint appearance with the prime minister. “In the long run I believe the operation will help strengthen the power of deterrence and to return quiet to the south.” In a sign that the operation was expected to broaden, the military was cleared to call up reserve units. Residents in both Israel and Gaza braced for prolonged violence. Gazans rushed to stock up on food and fuel. After nightfall, streets were empty as the sounds of Israeli warplanes and explosions of airstrikes could be heard in the distance. Israel declared a state of emergency in its south and canceled school across the area for Thursday. Calling it a “special situation,” Barak sought permission to call up special reserve units for

the operations. Israeli police stepped up patrols around the country, fearing that Hamas could retaliate with bombing attacks far from the reaches of Gaza. Hamas has in the past staged dozens of suicide bombings against Israelis and while its capabilities to do so today have been curtailed by Israeli and Palestinian crackdowns, it still has a network in the West Bank. More than 65 rockets landed in southern Israel late Wednesday. One projectile struck a shopping mall in the southern city of Beersheba, causing heavy damage but no casualties, police said. The Israeli military said 25 rockets were intercepted by the “Iron Dome” rocket-defense system. Israeli media said the rockets had been headed toward Beersheba. Israeli aircraft continued to pound Gaza into the night with some 50 airstrikes, with no reports of casualties. The deadly attack on Hamas mastermind Ahmed Jabari marked the resumption of Israel’s policy of “targeted killings,” or assassinations of senior Hamas men. Israel has refrained from such attacks, which have drawn international condemnations, since a fierce three-week offensive in Gaza that ended in January 2009.

Whistleblowing NYPD detective Durk dies at 77 NEW YORK (AP) — A New York City detective who helped expose widespread police corruption in the 1960s and ’70s has died. David Durk died Tuesday at his home in Putnam County, N.Y., at age 77. His death was confirmed by staff members at the Dwyer Funeral Home in Patterson. Durk teamed up with fellow officer Frank Serpico to fight the so-called blue wall of silence that protected police misconduct. After their efforts resulted in front-page newspaper stories, Mayor John V. Lindsay appointed a panel to investigate charges of police corruption. The Knapp Commission

was named after its chairman, Whitman Knapp. It heard testimony from Durk, Serpico and others and recommended reforms. Durk was promoted to lieutenant and stayed in the department for more than a decade. Serpico’s story was turned into a movie.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Seek help for you and your children Dear Annie: Last May, my children's father committed suicide. He and I had split up two years before because of his violent ways. Despite my marrying another man, I still cared for my ex and worried about his welfare. I would even sneak him food and pay his electric bill behind my husband's back. My husband occasionally would forbid my kids and me from having contact with my ex. He had a point. My ex and I had attempted to reconcile in April, but I couldn't do it. During the drive back to my husband, my ex phoned and begged me to return. I told him I was afraid of him. He yelled, "Nobody will ever have to worry about me anymore." Twenty minutes later, I received a call from his brother, who found him dead. I blame myself. His family does, too. I didn't even go to his funeral, because some of his family members had threatened to kill me if I showed up. I feel terrible for my kids and don't know how to cope. What should I do? Will my kids be OK? — Distraught Ex Dear Distraught: We are so sorry that you are experiencing this tragedy, but please know that you are not responsible for your ex's decision to end his life. He sounds like a troubled soul who didn't believe he had any other way out. Please contact Survivors of Suicide (survivorsofsuicide.com) and the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (afsp.org) to find a support group for you and your children. They will be OK, but they could use some help, and they will need you to guide them. Dear Annie: I am a 56-yearold professional man in nonprofit work. I am outgoing and reasonably intelligent, have a great sense of humor and generally like people. My observation and experience is that most men, especially over 40, have a difficult time making new friends. The married ones tend to rely on their wives. Others rely on family or long-term friendships. But men like me who don't have wives, whose parents have died, who have no siblings or children, and whose old friends have moved away find it awkward and difficult to reach out. My trainer is 45, outgoing, happily married with two great children, has both sets of parents still alive, is active in church, etc., and even he says he doesn't know how to make new friends. I realize there is no one-answer-fits-all, but I'd sure like to know what you and your readers suggest for those of us who are trying to get out of the house, but don't know where to go. — Not Anti-Social or Addicted to the Internet Dear Not: Find an activity that you enjoy and that involves other people. Look for community theater or choral groups. Volunteer at hospitals, schools, animal shelters, soup kitchens or for a political candidate. Park districts and local colleges may offer night classes for those who want to improve their education. See whether your health club has a regular spin class or an adult basketball team. If you can afford to travel, sign up for a group tour. We also recommend meetup.com, which facilitates finding people with similar interests of any kind. If our readers have more to add, we're happy to print additional suggestions. Dear Annie: I read the letter from "Frustrated in the Midwest," who is conflicted about his fiancee's four kids and their lack of responsibility around the house. I'd tell him not to consider marrying that woman until her children are grown. I married a man who had custody of two spoiled brats. He and I got along wonderfully, but with his two teenage kids in the mix, it was pure torture. The best day of my life was when the oldest left and the youngest moved to her mother's. — Midwest Evil Stepmom Annie's Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

SUDOKU PUZZLE

HOW TO PLAY: Complete the grid so that every row, column and 3x3 box contains every digit from 1 to 9 inclusively. Find answers to today’s puzzle in tomorrow’s Troy Daily News. YESTERDAY’S SOLUTION:

HINTS FROM HELOISE

How can I make glasses go their own separate ways? Dear Heloise: I stacked two glasses, and now ... help! They are stuck! I don’t want to break them trying to separate them. What can I do? — Milly A. in New York Try filling the top glass with ice cubes and cold water. Now take the bottom glass (with the top glass still stuck in it) and place it in warm, almost hot water. With a slight tug, the glasses should come apart. How does it work? The cold water contracts while the hot water expands. Just be careful as you pull the two glasses apart, because too much pressure could cause them to break. — Heloise

Hints from Heloise Columnist LEAVING PENS Dear Heloise: Restaurant waiters always tell me that their pens have a way of “walking off.� Well, we find ourselves being flooded with free pens from hotels and businesses, and we have too many pens at our house. We leave our excess pens

on the table in restaurants, and the wait staff loves it! In essence, we are replacing their pens that “walk off.� — A Reader, via email SOCK MOP Dear Heloise: Here’s an idea that has worked well for me: I have a dry dust mop that you can buy refill cloths for. Instead of buying the cloths that go with it, I buy footie socks at secondhand stores and church sales. I put one of the footie socks on each end and spray with polish. I turn them over until dirty, then inside out and repeat. When I have a bag full of dirty ones, I just wash them, and they are good to go again.

It’s definitely an eco-friendly solution, and they work amazingly well. — Amy K., Kalamazoo, Mich. IDENTIFYING LAUNDRY Dear Heloise: Rather than embarrass my children by writing their names in their clothes to keep laundry straight, I use a “dot� system. Using a laundry-marking pen, the oldest child’s clothes are marked with one dot. The next oldest gets two dots. The third-born gets three dots, etc. As clothes are handed down, dots can be added to indicate the new owner of the clothes. No more arguing over whose clothes are whose! — Sue S.,

ARLO & JANIS

HOROSCOPE BY FRANCES DRAKE For Friday, Nov. 16, 2012 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) For the next six to eight weeks, your ambition will be aroused! Make the most of this in order to achieve what you want to get done. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Focus on travel plans that come your way in the next month, because you want to get outta Dodge. You need a change of scenery, plus you’re dying to learn something. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Disputes about shared property are likely in the next month. Don’t go looking for fights, because they will find you! CANCER (June 21 to July 22) With Mars opposite your sign for the next six weeks, relations with close friends and partners will be prickly. In part, this is because you are less patient with others. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) You’ll be working so hard in the month ahead, you will delegate as much as possible. Focus on staying strong. Get rest and eat healthy. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) You’re in party mode! For the next six weeks, you want to take a vacation, go on social outings with others, watch sports events and enjoy playful activities with children. Yay you! LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Your home will be more chaotic during the next six weeks due to renovations, redecorating projects or visiting guests. Just do what you can to maintain your cool. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) You’ll be unusually aggressive in all your communication with others in the next month. Be aware of this if people are running away from you when you speak! SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) You’re willing to work extremely hard to earn your money in the next few months. Naturally, you’ll be spending it as well! CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Try to get more physical exercise, because you have energy to burn! Mars in your sign for the next six weeks makes you unusually assertive and forthright. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Many of you will be involved with secret love affairs or private activities that are behind the scenes for the next month or so. (You have a lot of hidden energy now.) PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Groups and physical sports will appeal to you during the next month. However, a dispute with a friend might arise, especially if it’s related to competition or jealousy. YOU BORN TODAY No matter how quiet or gentle you appear, you always have a dignified authority that others respect. Your command is rarely questioned! You’re an individualist, and you’re also a nurturer. You always treat people well. Finding the right partner is important to you. Work hard to build or construct something in the coming year because your success soon will follow.

Every day you’ll see a little bit more and a little bit more of service coming back. — Joseph Lhota

running only one train per hour. Williams said the railroad was working with Amtrak, which owns the East River tunnels that were flooded in the storm, to restore the 19 canceled trains, but said it could be until January before full service is restored. Because of fewer trains overall, each of which can carry as many as 2,000 commuters on average 10-car trains, commuters were contending with standingroom-only conditions during rush hours. In some instances, conductors have been unable to pass through the jammed cars to collect tickets. Johnny Grimmer, 22, who works in advertising sales, said he has had to contend with overcrowded trains since service was restored. “I felt bad. I was squishing this girl into the door of the train, but that was only because this guy twice my size was squishing into me,” he said in a telephone interview from his Manhattan office. “All of us would sway at the same time. There was nothing to grasp onto and people were falling into each other.”

LONG BEACH, N.Y. (AP) — New York transit officials marked a milestone in the aftermath of Superstorm Sandy on Wednesday by restoring limited service to the last of 10 branches of the Long Island Rail Road commuter line and declaring that nearly all New York City subway service was now operational. They also conceded work still needs to be done to alleviate overcrowding and slower than normal commutes since the Oct. 29 storm. “Every day you’ll see a little bit more and a little bit more of service coming back,” said Joseph Lhota, CEO and chairman of the state’s Metropolitan Transportation Authority, which operates commuter trains and the city’s bus lines. “Slowly, but surely, the subway system has come back. We are currently at about 98 percent back to normal.” Lhota joined LIRR President Helena Williams and state and local elected officials on a symbolic train ride to Long Beach on Wednesday morning, trumpeting train restoration to one of Long Island’s hardest hit communities. The oceanfront city just outside New York suffered extensive damage to its picturesque boardwalk and thousands of homes were inundated by rising floodwaters. The LIRR resumed a regular schedule on its nine other branches this week, although 19 trains were removed from the overall daily schedule because of limited access to four tunnels under the East River into Manhattan. The Long Beach branch, which is being operated by diesel trains because electrical service was still not available, was initially

TODAY IN HISTORY (AP) — Today is Thursday, Nov. 15, the 320th day of 2012. There are 46 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Nov. 15, 1942, the naval Battle of Guadalcanal ended during World War II with a decisive U.S. victory over Japanese forces. On this date: • In 1777, the Second Continental Congress approved the Articles of Confederation. • In 1806, explorer Zebulon Pike sighted the mountaintop now known as Pikes (cq) Peak in present-day Colorado. • In 1939, President Franklin D.

Roosevelt laid the cornerstone of the Jefferson Memorial in Washington, D.C. • In 1966, the flight of Gemini 12 ended successfully as astronauts James A. Lovell and Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin Jr. splashed down safely in the Atlantic. • In 1969, a quarter of a million protesters staged a peaceful demonstration in Washington against the Vietnam War. • In 1985, Britain and Ireland signed an accord giving Dublin an official consultative role in governing Northern Ireland. • In 2001, President George W.

Bush and Russian President Vladimir Putin failed to resolve their dispute over U.S. missile shield plans but pledged to fight terrorism and deepen U.S.-Russian ties as their summit, which began at the White House before shifting to Bush’s Texas ranch, came to a close. • Today’s Birthdays: Judge Joseph Wapner is 93. Actor Ed Asner is 83. Actor Yaphet Kotto is 73. Actor Sam Waterston is 72. Actor Bob Gunton is 67. Country singer Jack Ingram is 42. Actor Jonny Lee Miller is 40. Actor Sean Murray (TV: “NCIS”) is 35.

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.

One thing left TC’s Toal, Marshall commit to colleges, still after team state title BY COLIN FOSTER Associate Sports Editor cfoster@tdnpublishing.com

Bruce Toal stands over his son, B.J. Toal (seated, left), while John and Jeanette Marshall look over the shoulder of their son, Jordan Marshall, as both varsity wrestlers commit to colleges Wednesday at Troy Christian High School. B.J. Toal committed to Missouri and Jordan Marshall committed to Old Dominion.

B.J. Toal and Jordan Marshall already cemented their place in Troy Christian and Ohio wrestling history last year when they won individual state titles in Division III. On Wednesday at Troy Christian High School, the seniors announced that they will continue their wrestling careers at the Division I collegiate level. Toal signed a letter of intent to wrestle at the University of Missouri and Marshall signed with Old Dominion University. Old Dominion — a wrestling program that is currently ranked 23rd in the country — will join the Mid American Conference in 2013, which ended up heavily influencing Marshall’s decision. “It came down to two schools, Purdue and ODU,” Marshall said. “I liked the fact that ODU had just joined the MAC. That factored into my decision a lot,

NEW YORK (AP) — David Price of the Tampa Bay Rays and knuckleballer R.A. Dickey of the New York Mets won baseball’s Cy Young awards on Wednesday. Price barely beat out 2011 winner Justin Verlander for the American League prize in one of the closest votes ever. Dickey was an easy choice for the NL honor in balloting by the Baseball Writers’ Association of America. The 38-year-old Dickey became the first knuckleball pitcher to win the Cy Young Award, an achievement mentors such as Hall of Famer Phil Niekro are quite proud of. “I am not a self-made man by any stretch of the imagination,” Dickey said on MLB Network. “This is a victory for all of us.” Runner-up two years ago, Price was the pick this time by the slimmest of margins. He received 14 of 28 first-place votes and finished with 153 points to 149 for Verlander, chosen first on 13 ballots. Other than a 1969 tie between Mike Cuellar and Denny McLain, it was the tightest race in the history of the AL award.

Steelers’ QB ruled out vs. Baltimore Roethlisberger has shoulder, rib injuries PITTSBURGH (AP) — Right arm tucked into a black sling, weary eyes betraying a decided lack of sleep, Ben Roethlisberger tried to stay positive after the worst and by far the most harrowing injury of his career. The Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback believes he can return this season despite spraining his right shoulder and suffering what he called a dislocated rib in Monday night’s overtime win against Kansas City. He’s just not sure when he’ll be ready. And his medical team appears nowhere close to figuring out how exactly to get him there. “From what (the doctor) said he’s trying to talk to experts because there is no case study

because my family can come watch me wrestle. I loved it up there. I had great recruiting visit, and it really just felt like the best place for me to be. “They’re ranked top 25 in the country. We had a great recruiting class, one of the top classes. We have four in the top 100. It was a great recruiting class. I felt at home with those guys, and I felt like there was something special there.” For Toal, his decision came down to three schools: North State, Central Carolina Michigan and Missouri. Toal’s brother, Zach, wrestles for Missouri this season in the 165 weight class. Zach was ranked No. 2 in the 165 class in the 2012-2013 MAC preseason rankings. B.J. Toal will be joining a Missouri team that entered this season as the seventh-ranked team in the country.

■ CONTINUED FROM 14 “It makes me feel great,” Milton-Union coach Bret Pearce said. “I’ve seen all of the work these kids have put in. They got a taste of the postseason last year, and then they worked really hard in the offseason.” For Milton-Union (92), though, it’s been a season of change, of meeting expectations — and of surpassing them. After losing their leading rusher from last season, a season in which they both finished runner-up in the Southwestern Buckeye League Buckeye Division and lost in the first round of the playoffs to the same Waynesville team, the Bulldogs were able to come in under the radar of a lot of teams this year. They used that to their advantage, winning a share of the SWBL Buckeye title and crushing their first two playoff

opponents to earn their first shot at a regional title since 2006. They’re not escaping Clinton-Massie’s radar, though. “They’re (ClintonMassie) definitely the best team we’ve played all year,” Pearce said. “And I suspect their coaches are saying the same thing about us. “We’ve really grown over the course of the year. We’re not the same team that kicked off against Miami East in Week 1. What we’re trying to do is really clicking. The kids have moved on from just memorizing plays to really understanding what we’re trying to do.” The unbeaten Falcons

(12-0) will provide Milton-Union its stiffest test yet. Clinton-Massie averaged 58 points per game this season while allowing only 5.5 points per game. Their closest game came in Week 2, a 39-14 victory over Waynesville, and they knocked off Batavia 4213 to reach Friday’s game. The Bulldogs have ridden their own physical strength to the regional title game, shutting down Westfall 46-14 and Norwood 51-8. “We’re going to match up strength against strength,” Pearce said. “They’re offensive and defensive units are very strong, as are ours. We’re both going to line up and

try to smash it past them. We’ve both muscled our way here.” Milton-Union is the lowest remaining seed in all divisions with a No. 7 seed. Three other seventh seeds — Hilliard Davidson in D-I and Youngstown Ursuline and Hamler Patrick Henry in D-V — are still alive. And D-IV is the only division with all four of its top seeds still alive — with Clinton-Massie being one of them. But the Bulldogs and Falcons have a little history, too. The last time Milton-Union reached the playoffs was in 2007, when they lost to Clinton Massie 18-14 at Fairmont’s Roush Stadium in the regional semifinal. “Last week, we exorcised the Roush Stadium demons,” Pearce said. “Maybe Friday we can exorcise the Massie ones.”

GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Erik Murphy tied a career-high with 24 points just days after dealing with an illness, and No. 10 Florida beat 22nd-ranked Wisconsin 74-56 on Wednesday night. Murphy made all 10 of his shots, including two 3pointers, as the shorthanded Gators enjoyed a double-digit lead most of the night. He also had seven rebounds. Mike Rosario added 15 points, four rebounds and four assists for Florida (20), and Kenny Boynton chipped in 10. Sam Dekker and Jared Berggren had 11 points apiece for Wisconsin (1-1).

Browns want Weeden to cut down on INTs

Eagles

BEREA (AP) — The numbers aren’t good, at least not good enough. Brandon Weeden doesn’t need anyone to tell him that. The Browns rookie quarterback doesn’t have to scan his statistics to know he has to play better. He’s well aware that he’s thrown too many interceptions, won too few games and has yet to convince Cleveland owner Jimmy Haslam and new CEO Joe Banner that he’s the franchise’s future. Weeden understands he must improve. Just don’t bother bringing it up. “I’m not a moron,” he said. Following a bye week to rest his arm, relax his body and mentally block out the bad stuff from the season’s first nine games, Weeden said Wednesday that he’s determined to play at a higher level and lead the Browns to some victories in their last seven games. Maybe because he’s 29, Weeden isn’t always viewed as a rookie, which may explain some of the criticism about his game. “I think lost in all of this is that I’m a rookie,” he said. “I’m still playing teams for the first time. I’m still seeing things for the first time. I’m making a lot of mistakes that I’m making for the first time. I’m trying not to repeat them. But I’m not a nine or 10-year veteran. “Some people might lose track of that sometimes. But it is what it is. I’ve got to play better. I’ve got to do my part to help this team win.” And taking better care of the football should be his top priority. Before practice, Browns coach Pat Shurmur made it clear there is one aspect of Weeden’s game that needs immediate attention. “Don’t throw interceptions,” he said. “Done. End story. I want to be right to the point.” Point taken.

■ CONTINUED FROM 14 “He didn’t want to be a deciding factor, so he wouldn’t talk to me about it,” said B.J. Toal of his 22year-old brother. “He let it come down to my own decision, which was pretty cool.” As juniors, Toal — who finished as runner-up the season before — won the Division III in the 182 class, while Marshall defeated Delta’s Tyler Fahrer to win the 145pound title. The Eagles finished second as a team. For some, that would be the icing on the cake. But both wrestlers say they have one more goal before their high school careers are over — winning a team title. “Our goal is to win state again, of course, and be more dominant at state,” Marshall said. “We both had close matches in the finals, closer matches

Prather (concussion), essentially won the game with fast starts in both halves. Florida scored the first nine points of the game and the first seven after intermission. Murphy was involved in both runs. No. 15 Creighton 77, UAB 60 OMAHA, Neb. — Reserve Josh Jones scored all 18 of his points in the second half to compensate for Doug McDermott’s quiet night in No. 15 Creighton’s 7760 victory over UAB on Wednesday night. Jones matched his career high with four 3pointers. He made two during a personal 10-0 run that tied it 45 and two more during a 15-0 spurt that finished off the Blazers (1-1).

than we expected them to be. Since we have already been there, we can look forward to dominating the opponents we face. “And we want a team title. We don’t want second as a team. We’re really pushing everybody on the team. We never were a part of it when they won it (state) in eighth grade. We saw it, but we weren’t part of it. We want to be part of it.” “We always have to look at that second-place trophy over there, and we know how that feels now,” Toal said. “Having to walk by that trophy case every day without that team title, it (stinks).” And even when their high school wrestling careers are over, Toal and Marshall will continue to see each other from time to time. Both schools will be in the MAC as of next year.

Cleveland Browns quarterback Brandon Weeden throws a pass during a game against the Cincinnati Bengals Sept. 16 in Cincinnati. Weeden has thrown 12 interceptions, tied for the NFL’s second-highest total. The only QB to throw more picks is Dallas’ Tony Romo, who will match up against Weeden on Sunday when the Browns (2-7) visit the Cowboys (4-5) looking to end an 11-game road losing streak. Weeden concurred with Shurmur’s candid and curt assessment that he needs to be smart with the football. “That’s kind of been my priority since I played PeeWee football,” Weeden said. “We never want to throw interceptions. My aggressive manor and mindset sometimes gets me in trouble. I’m not going to take that away from myself. “I have to take care of the football. I have to cut down on them. I think guys that are aggressive like that, sometimes that’s one category they unfortunately may have a couple more

than they’d like. It’s not good, but we’re just being aggressive. Sometimes, making that aggressive throw, sometimes it catapults you and gets you momentum. You get a big throw and kind of spark a drive or something. I agree with him.” The Browns’ game before their bye was testament to Shurmur’s evaluation of Weeden, who has completed 185 of 336 passes (55 percent) for 2,088 yards and nine touchdowns. Weeden threw two interceptions during a 25-15 loss to Baltimore. Those miscues weren’t particularly costly, but he failed to get the Browns into the end zone despite five possessions inside the Ravens’ 20-yard line. There were some who theorized that Weeden played too cautiously in the red zone, perhaps because he was afraid to throw a pick with Ravens safety Ed

Reed lurking. Did the gunslinger get gun shy? Weeden said he took what the Ravens gave him. “If you go watch the tape, no one was open,” he said. “I made smart decisions down there. We were in the red zone and the balls I did throw, I did check down. Windows were small, but if I throw a pick there, you guys are asking me the same questions. Weeden and Shurmur have discussed his decision making and interceptions, but it hasn’t been a major point of emphasis during their talks. “It’s just common knowledge between the both of us, we know you can’t turn the ball over,” he said. “It’s in my forefront, but I don’t let it get to the front of my mind, where I’m so paranoid about throwing interceptions that I don’t take shots.”

time,” Price said. “There’s not an easy out in the lineups every game. It feels like a postseason game.” Weaver came in third with 70 points, but was listed second on a pair of ballots. The right-hander threw a no-hitter and had a 2.81 ERA in his first 20win season but missed time with injuries and totaled only 188 2-3 innings for the Los Angeles Angels. The top pick in the 2007 amateur draft out of Vanderbilt, Price reached the majors the following

year and has made three straight All-Star teams. Despite going 19-6 with a 2.72 ERA in 2010, he finished a distant second in Cy Young voting to Felix Hernandez, who won only 13 games for last-place Seattle but dominated most other statistical categories that year. Verlander was trying to become the first AL pitcher to win back-to-back Cy Youngs since Boston’s Pedro Martinez in 1999 and 2000. San Francisco right-hander Tim Lincecum did it in the

■ CONTINUED FROM 14 over the exact same thing,” Roethlisberger said Wednesday. “We’re just trying to talk to people … because we don’t know.” All Roethlisberger knows for certain is that doctors are concerned the rib which he injured while getting sacked by a pair of Kansas City linebackers in the third quarter on Monday could puncture his aorta if jostled around. He also knows he’ll be a spectator indefinitely while the surging Steelers (6-3) try to track down AFC North-leading Baltimore (7-2). The rivals meet twice over the next three weeks, with the first showdown coming Sunday night at Heinz Field. Veteran backup Byron Leftwich will take the snaps in Roethlisberger’s place, looking for his first win as a starter in six years. “I’m not going to go out there and try and be Ben,” Leftwich said. “We see the game differently. He’s physically able to do some

things that I can’t do but that doesn’t mean I can’t go out there and do my job.” The Steelers have been forced to play with Roethlisberger occasionally over the last nine seasons, going 8-5 without their franchise cornerstone since 2004. Four of those losses, however, have come against the Ravens. Still, Roethlisberger remains optimistic he’ll be back to work at some point over the next seven weeks. Asked if he thinks the injury is season-ending, the two-time Super Bowl winner shrugged his one good shoulder and attempted to remain upbeat. “I don’t think so, I don’t know though but I’m not a medical expert,” Roethlisberger said. “I just know I’m going to do what I can to get back.” At the moment, doing nothing appears to be the smartest course after his season came to a stunning halt early in the third quarter against the Chiefs.

Cy Young ■ CONTINUED FROM 14 Rays closer Fernando Rodney got the other firstplace vote and came in fifth. “It means a lot,” Price said. “It’s something that I’ll always have. It’s something that they can’t take away from me.” Price went 20-5 to tie Jered Weaver for the American League lead in victories and winning percentage. The 27-year-old lefty had the lowest ERA at 2.56 and finished sixth in strikeouts with 205. Verlander, also the

league MVP a year ago, followed that up by going 17-8 with a 2.64 ERA and pitching the Detroit Tigers to the World Series. He led the majors in strikeouts (239), innings (238 1-3) and complete games (six). Price tossed 211 innings in 31 starts, while Verlander made 33. One factor that might have swung some votes, however: Price faced stiffer competition in the rugged AL East than Verlander did in the AL Central. “I guess it’s a blessing and a curse at the same

National League in 200809. Dickey garnered 27 of 32 first-place votes and easily outdistanced 2011 winner Clayton Kershaw of the Los Angeles Dodgers. Gio Gonzalez of Washington finished third. Dickey joined Dwight Gooden (1985) and threetime winner Tom Seaver as the only Mets pitchers to win the award. The right-hander was the club’s first 20-game winner since Frank Viola in 1990. And perhaps most

impressive, Dickey did it during a season when the fourth-place Mets finished 74-88. “It just feels good all over,” he said. Price and Dickey are both from Tennessee, making them the fourth pair of Cy Young winners to be born in the same state, according to STATS. The two MVP awards will be announced Thursday. Verlander’s teammate, Triple Crown winner Miguel Cabrera, is a leading contender in the American League.
