Bicycle adventure returning GOBA plans 2-night stop in Troy BY NATALIE KNOTH Staff Writer nknoth@tdnpublishing.com For the third time, Troy will be a host town along the Great Ohio Bicycle Adventure, with a twonight stay slated for Sunday and Monday, June 16-17, at
TROY Community Park. The news was announced during a press conference Friday morning at Tin Roof Restaurant. Participants bike about 50 miles per day at a leisurely pace
along country roads, stopping to visit local restaurants and tourist attractions. The two-day stop will allow Troy to showcase its riverfront, museums, nature preserves and businesses, with riders projected to spend an average of $30 a day, GOBA reports. Troy Mayor Michael Beamish
said he is proud that Troy was selected as one of the host cities in the 25th annual tour, which will bring tourism revenue to the city. “As you’ve heard me say often, we are a small Midwestern city, but we have big city taste,” Beamish said. The 2012 tour in southern Ohio attracted 2,000 people from 39
Sandy depresses consumer spending
A new life for a Troy landmark After much anticipation, the $6 million Adams Street Bridge has been welcomed by Troy motorists, bicyclists and pedestrians alike, city officials say. “Everything people tell me is positive,” said Mayor Michael Beamish. “Everyone’s really excited about the look and variety of ways to get across the bridge. I’ve heard it’s a nice beautiful fit for the area and it will last a long time, which a lot of people were happy about, because they don’t want to keep doing this again.” Coming

Students learn life lessons at Edison BY MELANIE YINGST Staff Writer myingst@tdnpublishing.com Van Cleve “tweens” would like to show up at work in a brand new Ford Mustang or Dodge Charger, but once they crunched the numbers, many opted to take the bus to work to free up money to put on the table. “I did have a car but I decided I needed to ride the bus,” said Kyesha McKinnon, 12, a sixth-grade student at Van Cleve. “I’m trying to figure out how to make my money last.” McKinnon was one of more than 400 Van Cleve sixth graders who got a life lesson on the value of a dollar at the annual “Real Money, Real World” program at Edison Com-
MIAMI COUNTY munity College Friday. One of the four sessions the students visited demonstrated the value of education as it relates to career choices and, consequently, lifestyle choices available based on income. McKinnon still had to find a way to pay for entertainment, a cell phone and child care to make her monthly pay of $1,010 as a truck driver and part-time house cleaner last as a high school dropout. Students were randomly assigned a career and a family situation and then given a monthly salary based on their career and education. “I still have to pay for child care,” McKinnon said
as the mother of two children in the simulation. “You have to pay for the heat, buy your kids clothes and all that — it’s tough.” The students had budget sheets and calculators as they visited stations manned by local professionals such as real estate agencies, car dealerships, utility organizations, child care vendors and food service specialists. Kaeden Price was assigned the career of home health care aide and also cleans homes to provide for himself and his family on $19,200 a year. “I make $18,600 a year, which a lot of money to me, but not in real life,” Price said. He said he is saving money by taking public transportation.”I’ve been to New York City and we took
the bus, a taxi and the subway when we visited. I would think I would get a car if I have extra money.” The program, in its sixth year at Edison, also provides students with a curriculum that focuses on financial literacy, careers and the value of an education beyond high school. “I think it would be hard to buy food and everything just being a truck driver,” McKinnon shared. Four initial sessions are held at Van Cleve in the weeks leading up to the event to help prepare students for a simulation that requires them to make consumer decisions, pay bills and balance a checkbook. “It teaches them that if you work and have kids,

WASHINGTON (AP) — Americans cut back on spending last month while their income remained flat. The weakness in part reflected disruptions from Superstorm Sandy that could slow economic growth for the rest of the year. The Commerce Department said Friday that consumer spending dropped 0.2 percent in October. It was the weakest figure since May, and it compared with a 0.8 percent spending increase in September. Income had risen 0.4 percent in September. Work interruptions caused by the storm reduced wages and salaries in October by about $18 billion at an annual rate, the government said. The storm affected 24 states, with the most severe damage in New York and New Jersey. Consumers may also be scaling back on spending because of fears about the “fiscal cliff.” That’s the name for automatic tax increases and spending cuts that will take effect in January if Congress and the Obama administration fail to strike a budget deal by then. “The upshot is that although both incomes and spending will probably bounce back in November, the underlying trend is weak,” said Paul Dales, senior U.S. economist at Capital Economics. The depressed spending figures suggest that the economy is growing more slowly in the OctoberDecember quarter than it did in the July-September

Israel’s moves served as a harsh reminder to Palestinians euphoric over the U.N. upgrade that while they now have a state on paper, most of it remains very much under Israeli control. “This is a doomsday scenario,” Daniel Seidemann of Ir Amim, a group that promotes coexistence in Jerusalem, said of the building plans. Israel’s decision was bound to embarrass the United States, which was among just nine countries
in the 193-member General Assembly to vote against accepting Palestine as a nonmember observer state. Accelerated settlement construction could also set a more confrontational tone as Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas weighs his next moves. In Washington, State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland criticized the Israeli announcement. “These actions are counterproductive and make it

• Continued from 1 you have to pay for child care — it’s food for thought for many of them that you can’t just rely on your mom and dad to do it for free,” said Van Cleve guidance counselor JoLynn Scalice. “It’s the little things like when you buy a car, can you afford the insurance or even the gas to fill that car up.” Edison Community College enrollment manager Stacy Bean said during the four sessions held at Van Cleve Sixth Grade is an eye-opening experience for the students. “Their eyes open up in the classroom when they see the wide range of incomes for dropouts, high school graduates and those who go to technical centers and college education,” Bean said. The students were randomly assigned careers ranging from dropouts to college education incomes from $17,000 to $80,000 a year. “Food — definitely food —it’s $491 a month! That’s a lot,” said Price, when asked what was the hardest to budget for in regards to his simulated family of two children and a wife.
“It is a special year for us because it is the 25th annual GOBA,” Van Winkle said. “Troy has been an outstanding host for us in 2003 and 2007.” Theresa McGeady, sustainability coordinator of the Miami Conservancy District, also spoke at the press conference, discussing redeveloping Treasure Island and adding a restroom facility, among other possibilites for development on the riverfront.
Bicyclists will travel from Urbana to Troy on Sunday, June 16, followed by an optional 56-mile route in Troy on Monday.

“It’s interesting how much you spend.” Taylor Coleman was given a technical career education as an eyeglass technician. Coleman’s income was $27,200 a year to help support his makebelieve wife and child. “Man, I spend $406 a month,” Coleman said as he and Price compared food budgets. “My mom goes every other week.” Coleman said the simulation also helped him realize real life expenses in his own home. “I have a lot more respect for what my parents work for,” Coleman said. “We need a way better education to make better money – more than technical school for sure.” Luke Severt gave up his brand new Mustang despite making $23,500 as a medic and emergency medical technician. “I was driving a Mustang but I had to give that up,” Severt said. “I got talked into it.” Severt pointed to Troy Ford’s Greg Taylor and said, “That guy is a pretty good salesman.” Taylor, who has participated in the simulation for several years defended his
sales practices. “He got the Mustang for $50 less than other guys — only for Luke though,” Taylor said as he helped match budgets with transportation. “I think it’s an important lesson for us because a lot of this is a struggle,” Severt said. “It makes us think about it and work hard to be able to live on their own.” There’s a lot of expenses and money doesn’t grow on trees,” he added. Matt Erwin was also helping students choose between driving a new car, a used car or public transportation as a representative of Erwin Chrysler Dodge Jeep in Troy. “I think it’s important for kids to understand budgeting,” Erwin said “They’ll pick a car — like a Dodge Charger — and then go off and try to make ends meet and then they’ll come back and try to make a used mid-size car work or I’ll tell them to take the bus.” It was Erwin’s first year helping with the simulation and “selling cars” to the students. “It’s about choices and that’s the real world and
real money because it is,” said Erwin, adding after he “sells” the students the cars, he reminds them they need to budget for car insurance and other transportation expenses. “This is very good for the kids and I enjoy it.” In addition to the “Real Money, Real World” simulation, Edison faculty and staff provided interactive sessions taught in the college’s classrooms. The program is a joint venture with the Ohio State Extension Office and was funded by the Troy Foundation grant. “When they come here, they see their income at work paying bills and what jobs are out there and what they pay,” Bean said. “Most see how hard Mom works and just because you get paid and go to the bank and get money that it’s actually all there.” The students also participated in a session to teach them the difference between gross and net pay and the various deductions such as taxes, Social Security and health insurance. Another session taught students about savings and how to manage a checking account.

Centers said 18 major retailers reported sales rose 1.7 percent in November compared with the same period a year ago. The group had been expecting sales growth between 4.5 percent and 5.5 percent. The economic damage from the storm may be starting to fade, though. Retailers are reporting solid sales over the Thanksgiving Day holiday weekend. And applications for unemployment benefits have fallen from an 18month high in the first week of November. Still, the increase in unemployment applications earlier this month will likely depress job growth for November. Many economists predict that net job growth for November will range between 25,000 and 75,000 well below the 171,000 jobs that were added in October.

Friday’s decision was taken by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and eight senior Cabinet ministers, according to the Israeli news website Ynet. The plans include 3,000 new apartments in the West Bank and east Jerusalem, as well as preparations for new construction in other large West Bank settlements, including Maaleh Adumim, near east Jerusalem, said an Israeli government official. Among the projects is an expansion of Maaleh Adumim, known as E-1, said the official, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the decision with reporters. Successive U.S. administrations have pressured Israel not to build in E-1 because it would effectively cut off east Jerusalem from the West Bank, and split the northern part of the territory from the southern part.

Apartment where Oswald lived being demolished DALLAS (AP) — A dilapidated Dallas apartment complex where Lee Harvey Oswald briefly lived before the assassination of President John F. Kennedy is being demolished. After a four-year battle over code violations at the uninhabited 10-unit, twostory apartment complex built in 1925, owner Jane Bryant is in the process of taking the building down per a court order. She’s been salvaging building materials and selling off items from Oswald’s three-room apartment. The toilet already has a new owner. Bryant was never able to realize her plans to renovate the building in the Oak Cliff area of Dallas after buying it in 2007, and the next year got caught up in litigation with the city over the state of the building at 600 Elsbeth St. “We’re not just losing a piece of fundamental history to Dallas related to the assassination, we’re also losing a piece of fundamental architecture to this area,” said Bryant, who concedes that at this point she has no choice but to tear the building down, adding, “There comes a time when you just have to cut your losses.” The apartment, where Oswald lived from November 1962 to March 1963 with his wife, Marina, and young daughter, is mentioned in the Warren Commission report, which investigated the president’s death. The report concluded that Oswald acted alone on Nov. 22, 1963, when he fired at Kennedy’s motorcade from the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository as it passed by Dealey Plaza. Oswald then killed Dallas police officer J.D. Tippit 45 minutes after Kennedy was shot, according to the report. Oswald was arrested in the hours after the assassination, but was killed two days later by nightclub owner Jack Ruby. The apartment where Oswald lived had the address of 604 Elsbeth St. in 1963. It was apartment No. 2. The residence was one of several in the area where he lived after returning to the U.S. from Russia in June 1962. “He can’t hold a job for very long. He’s moving around quite a bit, can’t get settled, breaks off relations with his brother and mother soon after coming back. He goes from Fort Worth to Dallas to New Orleans, back to Dallas, basically,” said Max Holland, author of “The Kennedy Assassination Tapes.” David Preziosi, executive director of Preservation Dallas, noted that there are more important buildings associated with Oswald.

PERSPECTIVE
“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 Jerusalem Post on legal loophole regarding Eli Cohen: It appears that nothing can legally be done to prevent the reentry to Israel in a few months of convicted murderer Eli Cohen. He cannot be incarcerated, retried or even denied parental rights. He gallingly beat the system, barring some legislative amendments that would anyhow not be instant and not redress the basic injustice. What Cohen, a dual Israeli-Australian citizen, did to his ex-wife, the mother of his children, in Thailand in 2004 is the stuff of horror movies. He lured Carol Amsalem to Bangkok, tortured her with acid and a hot iron, gruesomely butchered her, dismembered her, stuffed some of her hideously mutilated remains in a suitcase and dumped them. Not all the remains were recovered. This was not a crime of passion but a premeditated atrocity. The couple split up after Cohen demanded they move to Australia. Carol Amsalem refused but, by all appearances, their divorce was amicable. Cohen was sentenced to 150 years. Prison conditions in Thailand are notoriously harsh yet occasionally, especially on royal birthdays, the king grants pardons. As a result of the latest round of reprieves, Cohen is to be set loose in mid-May. Thai justice is not pedantic in protecting defendants’ rights, and the prisons are survival of the fittest nightmares in which abuse, malnutrition and disease proliferate. The only move that could be taken against Cohen would be to revoke his parental rights, but that would hinge on new legislation. At present a released felon, no matter how heinous his crime, cannot be prevented from raising his children, much less from seeing them. This is a dreadful legal loophole that ought to be plugged, although even the swiftest efforts in that direction are unlikely to be of much use in this shameful case. This is a tragedy not of our making — a glaring instance where our intuitive sense of right and wrong and the dry letter of the law do not mesh. China Daily, Beijing, on upgrading cooperation During their meeting on the sidelines of the East Asia Summit held in the Cambodian capital of Phnom Penh on Tuesday, Premier Wen Jiabao and US President Barack Obama reaffirmed the two countries’ commitment to promoting bilateral cooperation. Given that this is their first meeting after China’s leadership transition and Obama’s re-election this month, the significance of their remarks go beyond the bilateral level, as they have positive implications for the world economy and the two countries’ cooperation in the Asia-Pacific region. Business, trade and finance are where the two countries’ interests already converge to a large extent. Bilateral trade is likely to top $500 billion this year. Ironing out the road for greater bilateral cooperation in these fields will obviously benefit both economies. And given the size and clout of their economies, taking concrete steps in this regard and promoting trade ties in a cordial atmosphere, rather than miring them in disputes, would inject much needed confidence in a global economic recovery. The same principle should apply to their cooperation in the AsiaPacific, where China hopes the US will be constructive so the two countries can jointly contribute to regional peace and development. As a global power eying a bigger role in Asia, the US should make sure its involvement mitigates the tensions over maritime territorial disputes and not the opposite. Power politics or the world’s only superpower dictating affairs in the Asia-Pacific would inevitably lead to confrontation and crisis. Cooperation is the only option if the two countries want to contribute to peace and prosperity in the region. Something that benefits all.

It’s beginning to look a lot like ... springtime? It’s December. That means no grinches allowed (except for the Dr. Seuss variety), no more people complaining about holiday decorations being up in stores (because a few lights or some pretty trees in October are just so terrible to look at) and no complaining because the radio stations are playing Mariah Carey holiday tunes every hour of every day (because it’s not the holiday season until you hear Mariah). It also means something else. It means that despite the fact that it’s probably going to be 60 degrees this weekend, in the event Mother Nature decides to dump a foot of snow on us a week later, we don’t get to be grumps about that either. And this is coming from a 37-weekpregnant woman who could have a baby at any time and might have to drive through said foot of snow. But seriously, it’s Ohio, it’s December, it’s winter and it’s time to get over our hatred of snow. Personally, I reserve the right to complain about 60degree weather in December in
Amanda Stewart Troy Daily News Columnist Ohio! Not because I have something against spring weather, but because I like my Christmas to be white. I like my holidays to be spent cozying up in the house with my husband and daughter, watching a movie while we stare at the perhaps gaudy light display decorating our living room. How do people celebrate the holiday season in California? Are there pine trees? Do you walk around in shorts and a Tshirt looking at Christmas lights? It just doesn’t feel the same to me. Pearyn is absolutely obsessed with Christmas lights this year. Actually, all things Christmas. We’re lucky to live in a neighborhood where everyone puts
— Russ Wheeler Troy
up over-zealous Christmas displays that include too many lights, big, inflatable snowmen and giant Mickey Mouses holding presents and wearing Santa hats. Pearyn’s unhealthy fixation probably stems from her time in utero, the year my husband and I went really, really overboard when it came to decorating, shopping and spending a copious amount of time with friends and family. I’m pretty sure we even had our Christmas tree and tiny Christmas village houses up while passing out candy to trick-or-treaters. You can blame it on what you want, but I figure the fact that she’s more enchanted by the lights, the tree and the fun she has picking out toys to give to her cousins and other kids is a pretty impressive sign that she’s not completely wrapped up in just the “present-receiving” part of the holiday season. After adjusting to life with a small child, decorating for Christmas fell a bit off the grid. Don’t get me wrong, we still put the tree, the houses and the annoying, singing wreaths and
snow globes up, we just didn’t get around to it until about halfway through December. (It does bear mentioning that we did leave them up through the end of January, however). It’s hard to believe that Christmas is only 25 days away — even harder to believe that our baby’s due date is only 20. I realize that he might not arrive by Christmas, heck, he might not even be here when we ring in the New Year, but that’s not going to stop this mom from wishing and hoping. Pearyn asked me in the car what I wanted from Santa for Christmas, I told her I just wanted her baby brother to be here by then. She asked me again and I told her I wanted Baby B to be able to wake up on Christmas morning with us. She then proceeded to shake her head at me and ask if I wanted an orange guitar instead. A baby or a guitar, same thing.

No estimate given on the reopening of Liberty Island Statue is OK
2343490
NEW YORK (AP) — The Statue of Liberty survived Superstorm Sandy with every crown spike in place, but its surrounding island was so badly damaged that the National Park Service doesn’t know when the beloved tourist attraction will reopen or how much repairs will cost. A tour of Liberty Island on Friday showed broken railings, torn-up paving stones, damaged equipment and flood-wrecked buildings. The storm destroyed boilers, sewage pumps and electrical systems, said David Luchsinger, the superintendent of the Statue of Liberty and of the neighboring Ellis Island. “Our entire infrastructure on both islands, both Liberty Island and Ellis Island, was under water,” he said. Luchsinger estimated that 75 percent of Liberty Island’s 12 acres was flooded, with water as high as 8 feet. The water would have been chesthigh on the plaza that visitors cross en route from the ferry to the statue itself, he said. Days after the storm, there was a controlled detonation of explosives on Ellis Island. Park Service spokesman Mike Litterst said the explosives were stored there to train bomb-sniffing dogs. They were compromised by the storm and had to be destroyed. The Oct. 29 storm came one day after the Statue of Liberty’s 126th birthday and the grand reopening of the crown though the park was closed at the time in advance of the storm. The crown had been closed for a year for a $30 million upgrade to the monument’s fire alarms, sprinkler systems and exit routes. The rest of the statue was open during that year and had 3.7 million visitors last year, making it the 19th most visited national park in the nation. Luchsinger said Sandy did not damage any of the
work completed during the renovation. “I can tell you that if you walked in there today it would look like we just reopened it,” he said. “Not one dime of it was lost.” Historical artifacts on Ellis Island also survived intact, Luchsinger said. Luchsinger evacuated ahead of the storm and returned Oct. 30, when Liberty Island was covered with mud and debris. Hundreds of National Park Service workers from as far away as California and Alaska have spent the past month cleaning the island and assessing the damage. Friday’s tour showed there is much still to be done. The main passenger dock was splintered but usable on Friday, while an auxiliary dock in back of the island was in pieces. Generators are supplying most power on the island, though one working transformer lights the statue itself. A water line several feet high marked the walls, and dried seaweed was still stuck in the chain-link fence. Luchsinger, 62, has lived on Liberty Island with his wife during his 3 1/2 years as superintendent. But no more. The storm blew the doors and windows out of the lowslung brick house, and the couple lost almost everything they owned. “I had a digital grand piano in there,” Luchsinger said. “I had a whole bunch of stuff. I had a couple of my mother’s antique Tiffany lamps. … The water was about 4 1/2 to 5 feet.” The house and adjoining staff buildings on landfill behind the statue will probably be razed and not rebuilt, Luchsinger said. “One of the things we want to do is rebuild smartly and sustainably,” he said. “The buildings on the back side of the island are not sustainable. … To rebuild and have them flooded out again doesn’t make a whole lot of sense. We probably won’t have anybody living on the island any more. I’m probably the last one.”

Bradford school district beefing up technology BY HEATHER MEADE Ohio Community Media hmeade@dailyadvocate.com Bradford Exempted Village School District is aiming to beef up its technology offerings before the 2014 Common Core Standards come into effect in Ohio, said David Warvel, district superintendent. The district recently was able to acquire 32 Apple iPads for use in the kindergarten through third grades through a Rural Education Achievement Program grant, he said. This has allowed the district to get elementary students up to speed and into a comfortable place with technology, and the students are loving it, said Scott Besecker, the district’s technology director. The big push for advancing technology at Bradford has a lot to do with the new standards and online testing that come with the Common Core Standards, which will hit Ohio schools in 2014, and Bradford wants its students to be prepared for the difference between pen and paper testing and computerized testing, said Besecker. “We’re moving toward mobile technology more and more every day; and we’re doing everything we can to get that technology into our students’ hands,” Besecker said. “The iPads have caught on with the teachers and students much more quickly than I had anticipated, and the demand for time with these tools has the district considering a second cart of iPads.” The district received the iPads nearly three weeks ago, after the election, said third-grade student Tevin Felver. “It was really a surprise when we got them, because it was right after the election,” Felver said. “It’s kind of cool getting to learn new things.” The students still feel like they’re learning, but they’re having fun with it,

Students in Jacci Spencer’s third-grade classroom do group reading exercises on the district’s new iPads, which have been integrated into kindergarten through third-grade classrooms. Students really like being able to use the technology, and according to the technology director for the district, Scott Besecker, they’ve really embraced the iPads in their everyday classroom use, and they’re having fun while doing it. they said, and that makes it so much better. “It’s pretty awesome; I like the games,” said another third-grade student, Abby Fike. Third-grade teacher, Jacci Spencer, said that the iPads are mostly used to reinforce what the students are learning during class time, and also for testing and assessment. Each grade has a folder with appropriate materials for those students, she said. The students mostly use the iPads for reading, math, and spelling, she said, but it’s learning in the form of games. And the iPads are also helping the district be able to accelerate those students who have been identified as gifted, Warvel said. “I’ve never seen kids so excited and interested in learning,” said Besecker.
“And when they use the iPads, they’re on task, they’re doing what they’re supposed to be doing and they’re focused. I’m excited about that.” Along with the addition of iPads, the district has begun switching teachers’ computers to laptops, to allow for more mobility and flexibility, Warvel said. And the district, which built a new facility nearly 10 years ago, also has eight Smart Boards between the elementary, junior high and high schools, Besecker said. The high school is also equipped with 30 Nooks, Besecker said. “Technology is a vital part of the educational process, and the foresight of the board of education, Mr. Warvel and this district speaks volumes,” Besecker said. “Right now not every room is equipped with
Smart Boards or iPads, but that comes down to funding; 10 years ago when this school was built, that technology wasn’t there, it’s amazing how far it’s come.” The Smart Boards were purchased with funds granted through the Miami County Foundation, said Besecker, but he has to apply for those grants on a rotating schedule. Warvel commented that the Smart Boards that they do have are being well utilized by the teachers who have them. “The Miami County Foundation has helped with a lot of our technology; last month we were awarded a grant for iPads for our teachers,” Besecker said. “We’re working on integrating technology into our students’ education … and we make every effort to be as cost-effective as possible, making every penny count.” Another dive into technology will be the district’s updated website, Warvel said, which should be ready to roll out sometime around Christmas at the earliest, and definitely by the new year, he said. The new website will be more user-friendly, and also will be updated 24/7, including the addition of closings and delays, Warvel said, it will be a virtual information hub. There will also be pictures and videos, to let the community know what’s going on with the district, and the daily announcements will be posted, as well. “It’s going to be a one stop shop for parents and community members, and we’re really excited about the updated look,” Warvel said. “The company that’s building it is really tailoring it to our needs.” Overall the district has a lot to offer its students, Besecker said, and the technology just makes the package that much sweeter.
Charges filed against five Piqua businesses Staff report The Piqua Police Department conducted alcohol-related compliance checks on 13 establishments Thursday evening and of those eight were found to be in compliance, said Chief Bruce Jamison. The compliance checks were a part of a comprehensive approach to alcoholrelated crimes where the
PIQUA police department worked with the Ohio Investigative Unit to check the compliance of liquor permit holders in the city of Piqua. Underage sales of alcohol occurred at the following five locations, which have resulted in criminal charges and administrative violations being filed
against each: State Liquor Store, 633 W. High St., Buckeye Chuck’s, 1130 Park Ave., Clark Station, 200 N. Sunset Drive, KwikN-Kold, 608 Weber St., and Kwik-N-Kold, 655 N. Main St. The police department acknowledged the other eight city businesses and commended them for their diligence regarding their actions to prevent the sale
of alcohol to underage persons. Those businesses include Kwik-N-Kold, 538 McKinley Ave., SpringThru Drive Thru, 225 Spring St., Valero, 315 Looney Road, Speedway, 900 Scot Drive, Speedway, 1551 Covington Ave., Lucky’s Bar, 108 N. Main St., Food Mart, 1401 South St., and Z’s Bar, 319 N. Wayne St.
year for drug seizures. Troopers on Thursday confiscated 743 pounds of marijuana after stopping a pickup truck for an improper lane change on Interstate 70 in western Ohio. Troopers say they saw indicators of criminal activity, and a police dog alerted them to the presence of drugs. An Arizona man was jailed in Preble County. The 743 pounds is the second-largest marijuana seizure this year by troopers. Patrol spokeswoman Lt. Anne Ralston says troopers have increased emphasis on drug interdiction and watching for signs of such crime. Marijuana seizures by the patrol are up 151 percent over last year, and heroin is up 295 percent. And last year was a record year for the patrol on drug seizures.
cameras into court. Elmwood Place officials didn’t properly follow legal procedures in starting the camera enforcement aimed at speeders, according to a Hamilton County lawsuit filed Thursday. Twelve people who are suing also say the speeding ticket blitz that has followed is causing them harm, because the cameras are causing people to avoid the village and its businesses. “A good thing for Elmwood to do is say, ‘The people have spoken,’ and end this,” attorney Mike Allen told The Cincinnati Enquirer. Some 13,000 speeding citations were issued in the first two months or so after the cameras began. Elmwood Place has some 2,200 residents. Village Police Chief William Peskin said the legal action wasn’t a surprise, but declined further comment. He has said the traffic cameras are helping make the village near Cincinnati safer by deterring people from speeding through it.

Indiana church restoring century-old organ LAGRANGE, Ind. (AP) — In his thesis, David Wagner of Hillsdale College in Michigan gives a detailed picture of the pivotal role played by the pipe organ in the development of religious freedom and culture in the colonies of the New World. “American history offers only a brief glimpse of the journey of the pipe organs from the ancient Greeks to the present-day,” he wrote. Wagner asserts the organ maintains a certain power. “Though no longer just viewed as a tool for worship, the organ, because of its personality, size, volume, and variety of sound, impresses human spirit in unique and indescribable ways,” he wrote. “It remains a monument to the triumph of human skill and culture: an intersection between science, art, and craftsmanship, an ever-changing bridge between past and present.” With such a rich history, it is no wonder the congregation of First Presbyterian Church of LaGrange is investing in the complete restoration of its huge pipe organ. In 2013 it will have been 100 years since the installation of a pneumatic assist, Hinner Tracker 14 rank pipe organ in their church. The organ had (and still does have) the original “surround-sound” emanating from those 671 pipes. Although it appears as one

Kevin Ramer, who has been playing organ for the First Presbyterian Church of LaGrange for 30 years, plays the organ Oct. 24 2012 in LaGrange, Ind. The organ is going to be completely dismantled, overhauled and restored to its original, century-old beauty and function by next Easter.
First Presbyterian Church. “I see the organ’s restoration as a new beginning for our church,” Schmidt said. “It is like a reformation. We are looking forward. We plan to take an active role in bringing cultural events and music to the community on a regular basis.” The organ’s restoration will be done by the Levsen Organ Company of Buffalo, Iowa. In January the organ will be dismantled and the main wind reservoir bellows removed. Several large pieces of the organ will be transported to Iowa, where they will be repaired at the Levsen workshop. The pipes and other components will be restored at the church by Levsen technicians. Weaver said while the restoration takes place, they intend to renovate the chancel of the sanctuary. The new architectural focus will be on the magnificent oak casework of the organ. The space will be enlarged and other changes will be made to accommodate moving the organ forward a foot or two, providing better access for tuning and maintenance. “It would be wonderful to hold the rededication of the organ on Easter Sunday,” Weaver said. “We feel that our organ is an important piece of the heritage and history of LaGrange. We want to take every opportunity to share the joy and good fortune with our community.”
unit, the Hinner is actually a combination of three organs. “A survey of the instrument by several organ experts showed that many of the original stops, pipes, wood and other components are in relatively good condition,” Pastor Ken Weaver told The Goshen News (http://bit.ly/114T9oz ). “Unfortunately, only one of three ‘organs’ within the instrument is currently working.” Having been the official church organist for the past 30 years, Kevin Ramer knows this organ very well. He manages to play around the instruments disabled parts. “There are keys, keyboards and pedals that no longer work,” Ramer said. “I have had to learn how to play around these problems. “I may have to take lessons again because I am so used to playing around the flaws,” he said. “I won’t know what to do with a completely functioning instrument. I can’t wait to play it after the restoration.” Ramer played the organ’s farewell concert in October to an appreciative audience of LaGrange residents, parishioners and Ramer fans. Gail and Hank Gore praised Ramer’s talents on the instrument. They worked with Ramer in summer-stock theater and read about the concert in the Lutheran church bulletin.

Missouri couple wins $588 million Powerball prize DEARBORN, Mo. (AP) — Cindy Hill, a laid-off office manager who lives in a small town in Missouri, called her husband Thursday with urgent news that would change everything: “We won the lottery.” “What?” he asked. “We won the lottery,” she repeated. But Mark Hill, a 52-year-old mechanic who works at a meat processing plant, is the kind of person who carefully checks the prices for everything he buys, and he needed proof. This is the “Show-Me State” after all. He drove to his mother’s house, where his wife was waiting with their quick-pick ticket, and confirmed for himself that the numbers matched those drawn for a record $588 million Powerball jackpot that they’ll share with an unknown winner who bought a ticket in Arizona. Missouri lottery officials officially introduced the Hills as winners Friday in front of reporters and townspeople gathered at the high school in Dearborn, which is about 40 miles north of Kansas City. The announcement was not a surprise. The Hills’ name began circulating Thursday, soon after lottery officials said a winning ticket had been sold at a Trex Mart gas station and convenience store on the edge of town. The Hills chose to take their winnings in a lump sum, not annual payments. Lottery officials estimated the cash payment at about $385 million, or about $192.5 million for each ticket. The oversized novelty check handed to the Hills on Friday was written in the amount of $293,750,000, but Missouri Lottery spokeswoman Susan Goedde said that after taxes, they will receive about $136.5 million. “We’re still stunned by what’s happened,” said Cindy Hill, 51, who was laid off in June 2010. “It’s surreal.” The couple have three grown sons and a 6-yearold daughter they adopted from China five years ago. They said they are now considering a second adoption with their winnings, and they plan to help other relatives, including their grandchildren and nieces and nephews, pay for college. They’re plan-
ning vacations, and their daughter, Jaiden, wants a pony. Mark Hill has his eye on a red Camaro. More immediately, they’re preparing for “a pretty good Christmas” and anticipating an onslaught of requests for financial help. “When it’s that big of a Powerball, you’re going to get people coming out of the woodwork, some of them might not be too sane,” Cindy Hill said. “We have to protect our family and grandkids.” The jackpot was the second-largest in U.S. history and set off a nationwide buying frenzy, with tickets at one point selling at nearly 130,000 per minute. The other winning ticket was sold at 4 Sons Food Store in Fountain Hills near Phoenix. No one has come forward with it yet, lottery officials said. Before Wednesday’s drawing, the jackpot had rolled over 16 consecutive times without someone hitting the jackpot. Myron Anderson, pastor of the Baptist Church in nearby Camden Point, said he heard Thursday that the Hills had won the huge prize. Anderson said he has known Mark Hill since they attended high school together. “He’s a really nice guy, and I know his wife, and they have this nice little adopted daughter that they went out of their way to adopt,” Anderson said. Funeral services for Hill’s father were at the Baptist church, but the family attends church elsewhere, he said. “I hope it’s good news for them,” Anderson said. “I’ve heard awful horror stories about people who get all that money in their lap and how everybody treats them, and if you don’t mind me saying, I mean just the fact that the press is going to be after them.” Kevin Bryan, a lifelong Dearborn resident, said the only other local lottery winner he could remember was a farmer who won about $100,000 in scratchoff game years ago “and bought himself a combine.” In a Mega Millions drawing in March, three ticket buyers shared a $656 million jackpot, the largest lottery payout of all time.

Jesse Jackson Jr., speaks to Obama supporters during a campaign rally for Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama. At 71, Jackson Sr. still keeps a hectic schedule and speaks extemporaneously on civil rights issues of all kinds. But he struggles when addressing one thing: Jesse Jackson Jr., the son and heir to Jackson’s political influence who abandoned his congressional seat last week because of mental health problems and two federal investigations. 1995, he was viewed as a rising star with potential to seek the nation’s highest offices, following a trail blazed by his father. He held a spot on the powerful House Appropriations Committee and co-chaired President Barack Obama’s first campaign. Then, in late 2008, everything began to change. The investigation that toppled former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich revealed that the younger Jackson may have been involved in discussions about raising money for the governor in exchange for an appointment to Obama’s former Senate seat.

bills out of the economy and replacing them with coins. The GAO’s Lorelei St. James told the House Financial Services panel it would take several years for the benefits of switching from paper bills to dollar coins to catch up with the cost of making the change. Equipment would have to be bought or overhauled and more coins would have to be produced upfront to replace bills as they are taken out of circulation. But over the years, the savings would begin to accrue, she said, largely because a $1 coin could stay in circulation for 30 years while paper bills have to be replaced every four or five years on average. “We continue to believe that replacing the note with a coin is likely to provide a financial benefit to the government,” said St. James, who added that such a change would work only if the note was completely eliminated and the public educated about the benefits of the switch. Even the $1 coin’s most ardent supporters recognize that they haven’t been popular. Philip Diehl, former director of the Mint, said there was a huge demand for the Sacagawea dollar coin when production began in 2001, but as time wore on, people stayed with what they knew best. “We’ve never bitten the bullet to remove the $1 bill as every other Western economy has done,” Diehl said. “If you did, it would have the same success the Canadians have had.” Beverly Lepine, chief operating officer of the Royal Canadian Mint, said her country loves its “Loonie,” the nickname for the $1 coin that includes an image of a loon on the back. The switch went over so well that the country also went to a $2 coin called the “Toonie.”
allegations, Jackson disappeared on a mysterious medical leave, which the family later said was for treatment of bipolar disorder. While the father won’t address the son’s legal issues, he said it was difficult to watch his child struggling with the decision to step down, something doctors at treatment facilities in Arizona and Minnesota recommended immediately. He’s hopeful his son will recover soon and possibly return to public work. In Chicago, questions are being asked about what political role the Jacksons will continue to play and

WASHINGTON (AP) — American consumers have shown about as much appetite for the $1 coin as kids do their spinach. They may not know what’s best for them either. Congressional auditors say doing away with dollar bills entirely and replacing them with dollar coins could save taxpayers some $4.4 billion over the next 30 years. Vending machine operators have long championed the use of $1 coins because they don’t jam the machines, cutting down on repair costs and lost sales. But most people don’t seem to like carrying them. In the past five years, the U.S. Mint has produced 2.4 billion Presidential $1 coins. Most are stored by the Federal Reserve, and production was suspended about a year ago. The latest projection from the Government Accountability Office on the potential savings from switching to dollar coins entirely comes as lawmakers begin exploring new ways for the government to save money by changing the money itself. The Mint is preparing a report for Congress showing how changes in the metal content of coins could save money. The last time the government made major metallurgical changes in U.S. coins was nearly 50 years ago when Congress directed the Mint to remove silver from dimes and quarters and to reduce its content in half dollar coins. Now, Congress is looking at new changes in response to rising prices for copper and nickel. At a House subcommittee hearing Thursday, the focus was on two approaches: Moving to less expensive combinations of metals like steel, aluminum and zinc. Gradually taking dollar
almost all public appearances, and a cloud of suspicion hung over him, even though he has never been formally charged with any wrongdoing. Legal proceedings also revealed that Jackson Jr. had had an extramarital affair, the same type of indiscretion that embarrassed his father almost a decade earlier. Jackson Jr. remained under a House Ethics Committee investigation until his resignation last week and still may face its final report. Earlier this year, just after the arrest of a former campaign fundraiser connected to the Blagojevich
whether they will try to influence who wins Jackson’s House seat in a special election slated for the spring. Another of the reverend’s five adult children, Jonathan Jackson, a Chicago State University business professor, is contemplating seeking the seat. Jesse Jackson Jr.’s wife, Sandi, a Chicago City Council member, has also been mentioned as a potential replacement, though she has remained conspicuously out of sight since her husband’s resignation. No matter who replaces Jackson in Congress, the reverend will almost certainly have to address more questions about his son. “They’re so tied to the hip, and I think that it will paint how people think of Jesse Jackson Sr.,” said Holly Campbell, a 49-yearold woman who lives just south of Chicago and has been a longtime supporter of the family. His presidential runs inspired her to vote. But she’s felt something shift in her perception of the family, particularly after the allegations about the former congressman emerged. “I’m disappointed,” she said. The elder Jackson is still busy, but his work often escapes notice. While he’s a sometimes-polarizing figure in the U.S., he is greeted in many places, including abroad, as an international statesman. He took credit for helping obtain the release of two Americans imprisoned in Gambia this year, though there was little international news coverage. During a recent protest about job-outsourcing with Illinois workers, Jackson intentionally got himself arrested for civil disobedience.

You need to talk to the school counselor about the bullying Dear Annie: Over the summer, I had a falling out with my best friend, "Alicia." I had invited all of our friends to a party, and one of them brought along a boy, "Andrew," whom she specifically wanted me to meet. I liked him. But Alicia literally pushed me out of the way so she could talk to him and made a point of diverting his attention away from me. I didn't get too upset about it. The girls slept over, and Alicia and I were both texting Andrew. I also texted Alicia, asking her to please back off, but saying if she really liked him, I'd back off instead. She threw her phone down, screamed at me and ran off crying. We had a huge argument, and she told me I am ugly, fat and stupid and everyone hates me. Earlier in the year, Alicia had a friends-with-benefits relationship with my boyfriend. It took a while for me to forgive her, and I never forgot. After that fight, I'd had enough. She was constantly criticizing me, making mean jokes about me and ditching me for other people. But, Annie, she's driven away all of my friends. I feel so alone at school. Alicia has already found a new group, and they make fun of me and draw mean pictures of me. While I don't miss Alicia, I do miss the friendship. Any advice? — Lost and Lonely Dear Lost: You are the victim of "mean girl" bullying. Alicia must have been terribly jealous to go after whatever boy was interested in you. We know it's small comfort, but in time, you will be stronger for this experience and will understand what true friendship is. In the meantime, talk to your school counselor about the bullying, which should stop. Also, look to make friendships with others, both in and out of school. And hold your head up. This, too, shall pass. We promise. Dear Annie: We have two groups of friends with whom we dine about every other month in restaurants. There is always someone who suggests separate checks. I find this to be poor manners, since all of these people have been to our home for lunch, dinner or holidays at some point during the year. I also believe it is a burden on the server. And I almost forgot to mention that the host of these restaurant dinners brings the wine. What is your opinion? — RLS Dear RLS: We aren't sure what you object to. Are these restaurant dinners supposed to be a way of reciprocating for your home meals? If so, they are not doing the job. But in general, it is neither poor manners nor a burden to ask for separate checks, provided you do so when you order. Dear Annie: I understand "Concerned Grandpa's" pain. He noticed things on his granddaughter's Facebook page that disturbed him, and his subsequent comments created a rift. I'm 50 and have two kids in college. All four of their grandparents are in their mid-70s and on Facebook. We have found that sometimes it is best for our kids to block not only Grandma and Grandpa, but also us, from their posts. This is easy to do and saves a lot of minor grief for everyone. No one wants to see their child or grandchild at a party playing beer pong, doing shots, dirty dancing or taking off clothing. Honestly, they are not doing anything much different from what their mother and I did when we were in college 30 years ago. But thankfully, that was before the digital age and social media, and we weren't broadcasting our behavior to the entire world. — Scott in Northern California Annie's Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

HINTS FROM HELOISE
Helpful hints: From frozen bagels to car mats Dear Heloise: Here are some of my favorite hints: • When freezing bagels, always cut them in half horizontally and place them front to back in a plastic bag. Makes it much easier to remove one piece at a time. • The cabinet or shelf over the refrigerator is so hard to access. Remove the doors and use it as a display space for special knickknacks. • Our gift for our grandson’s 16th birthday was to underwrite his driver-education course and the fee for a passport. Lasts much longer than another CD or a check. • Use rubber sink mats (usually under $10) under your feet in
Hints from Heloise Columnist the car instead of spending $20 or $30 for the “real” thing. — Harriet Platt, Rockville, Md. PET PAL Dear Readers: Shawn in Fredericksburg, Texas, sent a photo of his feral cat, Susie, while she was snuggling with her litter of four kittens. To see Susie and the kitties, visit my website,
www.Heloise.com, and click on “Pets.” — Heloise BUDGET WISE Dear Heloise: Since we are retired and on a strict budget, I felt our ideas may help some other people who are on a limited income. Each month, we give 10 percent to our church and put 10 percent in a savings account. We live on 80 percent of our income. I budget for groceries and gasoline. We watch what we buy in the grocery store, and try to do all of our errands at the same time we go to the grocery store. I keep a record in my checkbook on a separate page for groceries and gasoline. It helps me not to overspend during the
month. I have a Christmas Club account, so I know how much money I have to spend on the first of November. Thanks for the wonderful, practical advice you give each day. — A Contented Grandmother in Louisiana HOMEMADE GIFT BASKET Dear Heloise: My mother is really hard to buy for. So, I came up with the following gift basket, and best of all, she loved it! A basket filled with bath salts, scented bath oil and soap, body lotion, a favorite perfume, pretty washcloths (rolled), gel eye mask, inflatable bath pillow and a candle with a pretty holder — add to it or put in whatever things you can. — Meryl Ann in Utah

ARLO & JANIS
HOROSCOPE BY FRANCES DRAKE For Sunday, Dec. 2, 2012 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Today you are tempted to make promises that you can’t keep. You might find yourself saying something before you realize that it’s beyond your ability to deliver. (Oops.) TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Be careful how you handle your money today, because you could go overboard. You might give away too much; you might spend too much; you might make an unreasonable commitment hoping to earn more. Caution! GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Don’t tell fisherman stories, and don’t exaggerate too much today, because you will be tempted to do this. One thing leads to another, and before you know it, you’re stringing out a yarn. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You feel pleased with yourself today. (There’s nothing wrong with that.) But complacency can lead to inertia, where you just can’t get off the couch. Be careful. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) In your desire to impress others, you might promise too much to someone. Your efforts to enthuse someone might stretch the truth a little, ya think? VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Family discussions will be happy and upbeat today. Nevertheless, be realistic and keep your feet on the ground, especially if others are asking for a favor. Just do what you can. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) This is a busy, active day for you. Short trips and conversations with everyone will appeal. You’re over the moon about something and want to share your enthusiasm with everyone. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) The only thing that should be in hot water is a teabag. Keep this in mind before you make financial promises to anyone. Don’t stretch things. Deal with reality, and tell the truth. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) You feel cheerful and optimistic today. This could be why you are tempted to spend too much money on indulging in luxuries and other pleasant goodies. Ah, the good life! CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Don’t make promises you can’t keep at work today. Be reasonable with deadlines that you give yourself or others. Make health guidelines realistic for yourself as well. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) It’s a well-known fact that abstinence is easier than moderation. Today you’re tempted to go overboard when gambling, taking chances and flirting. Don’t do anything you’ll regret later. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Be realistic in discussions with bosses, parents and VIPs. Don’t try to impress them with impossible deadlines. YOU BORN TODAY You are physically dynamic and have enormous power, no matter what your size. Your powerful energy immediately influences your surroundings. You work tirelessly to hone your skills. You are personally strong, and you respect the strength of others. When provoked, you rarely back down. Your year ahead will focus strongly on partnerships and close friendships.

Today’s Highlight: On Dec. 1, 1862, President Abraham Lincoln sent his Second Annual Message to Congress, which was read aloud by the Secretary of the Senate. In it, Lincoln called for the abolition of slavery, saying that “in giving freedom to the slave, we assure freedom to the free,” and toward the end of his message, wrote: “Fellow-citizens, we can not
escape history. We of this Congress and this Administration will be remembered in spite of ourselves.” On this date: In 1921, the Navy flew the first nonrigid dirigible to use helium; the C-7 traveled from Hampton Roads, Va., to Washington, D.C. In 1941, Japan’s Emperor Hirohito approved waging war against the United States, Britain and the Netherlands after his government rejected U.S.
demands contained in the Hull Note. In 1942, nationwide gasoline rationing went into effect in the United States. In 1955, Rosa Parks, a black seamstress, was arrested after refusing to give up her seat to a white man on a Montgomery, Ala., city bus; the incident sparked a year-long boycott of the buses by blacks. In 1969, the U.S. government held its first draft lottery since World War II.
Egypt draft constitution sparks mass protest CAIRO (AP) Protesters flooded Cairo’s Tahrir Square on Friday in the second giant rally this week, angrily vowing to bring down a draft constitution approved by allies of President Mohammed Morsi, as Egypt appeared headed toward a volatile confrontation between the opposition and ruling Islamists. The protests have highlighted an increasingly cohesive opposition leadership of prominent liberal and secular politicians trying to direct public anger against Morsi and the Islamists a contrast to the leaderless youth uprising last year which toppled autocrat Hosni Mubarak. The opposition announced plans for an intensified street campaign of protests and civil disobedience and even a possible march on Morsi’s presidential palace to prevent him from calling a nationwide referendum on the draft, which it must pass to come into effect. Top judges announced Friday they may refuse to monitor any referendum, rendering it invalid. If a referendum is called, “we will go to him at the palace and topple him,”

An Egyptian man carries his son during a demonstration in Tahrir Square, Cairo, Egypt, Friday. Liberal and secular parties held major protests against Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi's latest decrees granting himself almost complete powers. insisted one protester, Yasser Said, a businessman who said he voted for Morsi in last summer’s presidential election. Islamists, however, are gearing up as well. The Muslim Brotherhood, from which Morsi hails, drummed up supporters for its own mass rally Saturday. Islamists boasted their turnout
would show that the public supports the push by the country’s first freely elected president to quickly bring a constitution and provide stability after nearly two years of turmoil. Brotherhood activists in several cities passed out fliers calling for people to come out and “support Islamic law.” A number of Muslim clerics in Friday
sermons in the southern city of Assiut called the president’s opponents “enemies of God and Islam.” The week-old crisis has already seen clashes between the two camps that left two dead and hundreds injured. On Friday, Morsi opponents and supporters rained stones and firebombs on each other in the Mediterranean city of
Alexandria and the southern city of Luxor. The Islamist-led assembly that worked on the draft for months passed it in a rushed, 16-hour session that lasted until sunrise Friday. The vote was abruptly moved up to pass the draft before Egypt’s Constitutional Court rules on Sunday whether to dissolve the assembly. Liberal, secular and Christian members and secular members had already quit the council to protest what they call Islamists’ hijacking of the process. The draft is to be sent to Morsi on Saturday to decide on a date for a referendum, possibly in midDecember. The draft has a distinctive Islamic bent enough to worry many that civil liberties could be restricted, though its provisions for enforcing Shariah, or Islamic law, are not as firm as ultraconservatives wished. Protests were first sparked when Morsi last week issued decrees granting himself sweeping powers that neutralized the judiciary. Morsi said the move was needed to stop the courts where anti-
Islamist or Mubarak-era judges hold many powerful posts from dissolving the assembly and further delaying Egypt’s transition. Opponents, however, accused Morsi of grabbing near-dictatorial powers by sidelining the one branch of government he doesn’t control. Anger at Morsi even spilled over into a mosque where the Islamist president joined weekly Friday prayers. In his sermon, the mosque’s preacher compared Morsi to Islam’s Prophet Muhammad, saying the prophet had enjoyed far-reaching powers as leader, giving a precedent for the same to happen now. “No to tyranny!” congregants chanted. Morsi took to the podium and told the worshippers that he too objected to the language of the sheik and that one-man rule contradicts Islam. Friday’s crowd in Tahrir appeared comparable in size to the more than 200,000 anti-Morsi protesters who thronged the central plaza three days earlier. Tens of thousands more marched Friday in Alexandria and other cities.
Supposed Iranian nuke graph off; U.N. still worried VIENNA (AP) — A leaked diagram suggesting that Iran is pursuing a nuclear weapon is scientifically flawed, diplomats working with the U.N. nuclear agency conceded Friday. However they insisted that it still supports suspicions that Tehran is trying to build a bomb, especially when combined with other documents that remain secret. The Associated Press reported Tuesday, citing the document leaked by officials from a country critical of Iran’s atomic program, that it indicated that
Iranian scientists had run computer simulations for a nuclear weapon that would produce more than triple the explosive force of the World War II bomb that destroyed Hiroshima. The diagram showed a yield of 50 kilotons. But subsequent criticism of the AP’s report showed that result was widely inaccurate. Instead, the yield of the hypothetical weapon was much higher and hugely greater than any bomb ever produced meaning it was next to impossible that Iran was contemplating such a weapon.
Nuclear scientists Yousaf Butt and Ferenc Dalnoki-Veress, writing on the website of the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists, sharply criticized the AP’s report and described it as containing a “massive error,” adding that it was “either slipshod analysis or an amateurish hoax.” They said the “level of scientific sophistication” to produce the diagram “corresponds to that typically found in graduate or advanced undergraduate-level nuclear physics courses.” But a senior diplomat familiar with the probe of
Iran by the IAEA told the AP on Friday that the agency suspects that Iranian scientists calculating a nuclear yield intentionally simplified the diagram to make it comprehensible to Iranian government officials to whom they were presenting it. He said that when the right data are plugged in, the yield is indeed 50 kilotons. The diplomat, who is considered neutral on Iran’s nuclear program, spoke only on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to divulge intelligence. As seen by the AP, the
data on the left-hand vertical side of the diagram is listed in kilotons per second. But David Albright, whose Institute for Science and International Security is used by the U.S. government as a go-to source on Iran’s nuclear program, told the AP that when that legend is substituted with another joules per 10 nanoseconds the yield comes out to around 50 kilotons. When told of Albright’s calculations, the senior diplomat confirmed that the agency thought they were correct. He also said
the agency had a spreadsheet thought to have been drawn up by Iranian nuclear scientist Majid Shahriari that contained the data needed to produce a nuclear yield of 50 kilotons. He said Shahriari is also believed to have produced and then altered the diagram, which he said was one of several held by the IAEA showing such yield calculations. Iran denies any interest in nuclear weapons and accuses the United States and Israel of fabricating evidence that suggests it is trying to build a bomb.

Tough one for Troy BY JOSH BROWN Sports Editor jbrown@tdnpublishing.com Troy can’t necessarily be called a tall team, and physical strength isn’t something the Trojans will be able to depend on, either. They’re not worried about all that, though. They’ve got one thing they can call on above all others. Toughness. And no one personified that more than Dylan Cascaden in Troy’s opener.
At no point in the days leading into NASCAR’s season finale did Roger Penske assume his 40-year wait for a championship would finally end. Brad Keselowski had the Sprint Cup title well within reach and a decent day would give Penske Racing its first title at NASCAR’s top level. But weird things happen in racing, and the team owner wasn’t taking anything for granted. See Page 19.
Spurs fined $250K for sitting players Gregg Popovich sent his best players home, deciding they reached the end of the road before the trip was over. For that, and for keeping it a secret, the San Antonio Spurs were fined $250,000 by the NBA on Friday. See Page 19.

The senior dislocated a finger after getting fouled driving to the basket in the third quarter and was forced to exit the game with Troy trailing Centerville by seven. After Tyler Miller and Jalen Nelson shot the Trojans back into the game and the two teams battled back and forth throughout the fourth quarter, Cascaden hit a buzzer-beating 3-pointer at the end of regulation to tie things up at 65-65 and force overtime. But the Elks (1-0) rode the bullish strength of Jake Replogle inside in the extra frame, pulling back ahead and handing the Trojans an 81-74 loss at Centerville Friday. Cascaden scored 11 of his 21 points after having his finger
SPRINGFIELD — The Miami East Vikings couldn’t have asked for a better start to their season. After a tight first quarter, Garrett Mitchell sparked the Vikings with a dunk, igniting a 22-4 second quarter run and East rolled to a 64-44 win on opening night.

Trojans ■ CONTINUED FROM 17 has set before them — and their attitude is trickling down to the team’s rising stars, also. “This has been the best three weeks to start a season that I’ve had as a coach so far as the team’s hustle and work ethic,” Curnes said. “And it all starts with those three captains and their leadership. Everyone on the team looks up to them.” And for Curnes, Schlosser — a returning senior who qualified for district last year at 145 and will likely wrestle at 160 this year — marks the beginning of the era. “This is my fourth year, and he’s the first senior that I’ve had for all four years,” Curnes said. “He’s my first senior that’s been mine and mine alone as a head coach. I want to make sure this senior year is extra special for him.” Another returning district qualifier is junior McGraw, and junior Dalton at heavyweight backed up a third district qualifier last year in departed graduate Ryne Rich. “I hate to use the phrase ‘backed up’ with regards to Alex,” Curnes said. “He and Ryne were always really close in wrestle-offs for that heavyweight spot. Alex has been waiting in the wings, he’s matured a lot mentally and physically and he’s ready to step up this year and do some damage. “With Kevin and Logan having that postseason experience, that’s a couple of guys that won’t be wideeyed once they get there again. Adding that experience into the leadership qualities they already have, they know what it takes to get there — and

Troy’s Kevin McGraw takes down an opponent during a match last season. they’re bringing that to everyone else. That does nothing but help.” Junior Andrew Kostecka at 220 also reached the district level last season, giving the Trojans an extra-tough lineup at the heavier weights this season. “In my coaching experience before now, I’ve always had more success with the lighter and middle weights. This year, it will be the upper weights that anchors the team,” Curnes said. “Having this many talented heavier guys is awesome and a lot of fun. Now I finally get to teach the heavyweight stuff that I do know.” Two other seniors returning to the team are
Ryan Simon at 132 and Tony Lewis at 145, then the Trojans have a wealth of young wrestlers up and down the lineup. Juniors Mason Perkins (126) and Logan Etherington (138) return, as do sophomores Eric Cannady (between 126 and 138) and Cam Kauflin (171). Sophomore Brandon Lee will wrestle at 152 and first-year junior Matt McGillaray will wrestle at 195. Freshmen Shane Love and Ben Andrews will be at the lightweight positions, Zayne Davidson will be between 120 and 126, and Devon Burke will be in the middle-to-upper weight range. And if the Trojans can accomplish some of their
goals throughout the season, a run at a top-five spot in the Greater Western Ohio Conference tournament isn’t out of the question. “The guys know they have to wrestle well throughout the season to get higher seeds. I’m expecting to have a handful of guys place high there (at the GWOC),” Curnes said. “If we can get into the top five, that’d be a double plus. Without a lot of depth, though, it’ll just depend on how the tournament goes. “We’re going to be patient, take our time and build this thing up right.” And he’s got the right guys to do that with this year.

Georgia ready for Alabama Two teams meet for SEC crown, spot in BCS title game ATLANTA (AP) — The national championship could be decided with a dream matchup between two of college football’s most storied programs: Notre Dame vs. Alabama. Of course, Georgia might have something to say about that. The third-ranked Bulldogs are eager to wake up some echoes of their own. Coach Mark Richt’s team will take on No. 2 Alabama in a Southeastern Conference title game that essentially serves as a national semifinal. The winner of Saturday’s contest at the Georgia Dome will surely land a spot against topranked Notre Dame in the BCS title game at Miami on Jan. 7. While Alabama (11-1) is a seven-point favorite to remain on course for its third crown in four years, Georgia (11-1) wants to carve out its own legacy, something beyond the great teams of the early 1980s led by Herschel Walker. “We respect and honor those guys that played ahead of us, but we really need to give the fans some-

The Bulldogs were in position to win another two years later, the running back’s final season between the hedges, but Penn State knocked them off in the Sugar Bowl. In an interesting twist,
Walker announced this week that he’ll soon be opening a restaurant in Athens after the first of the year. By then, the Bulldogs hope they’ve cooked up another national title. All those who’ve come along since Walker will be cheering on this team, including Denver Broncos cornerback Champ Bailey. He played at Georgia in the late ’90s and planned to give the Bulldogs a pep talk by phone.
“We can’t let this one slide,” Bailey said. “This is one of those once-in-alifetime opportunities because I’m tired of people talking about Herschel Walker. That was 30-something years ago. There’s been a lot of things happen between now and then, but no championships. That’s why they still talk about him.” Indeed, even though Georgia finished No. 2 in the AP rankings in 2007, this is the best shot at finishing No. 1 since the Walker era. If the Bulldogs win the next two games, they’re the champions. “We’re hungry,” Robinson said. “We’ve got something to prove.” So does Alabama. A year ago, the Crimson Tide didn’t even make it to Atlanta for the SEC championship game LSU won the Western Division but Alabama got a do-over against the Tigers for the BCS title. Even with a resounding 21-0 victory, there are still those who think the Tide didn’t deserve a second chance after losing to LSU in the regular season. If Alabama beats Georgia and Notre Dame, no one can say the Tide didn’t earn it, despite an upset loss to Johnny Manziel and Texas A&M.
■ CONTINUED FROM 17 hopes to bring another state title back to Troy Christian. “I think the key is we need some of those guys to step up and place,” Morgan said. “We have two very talented sophomores and three very talented freshmen who are all capable of stepping in and being good.” And make no mistake about it, the Eagles’ senior leaders, Toal and Marshall, want nothing more than to go out as team state champions. “Our goal is to win state again, of course, and be more dominant at state,” Marshall said after he signed a letter of intent Nov. 13 to wrestle at Old Dominion University. “We both had close matches in the finals, closer matches 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 were never 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 after he signed
Nov. 13 to wrestle at Missouri. “Having to walk by that trophy case every day without that team title, it (stinks).” Sophomores Zack Davie and Tristan Devlin are two guys who could be crucial to Troy Christian’s success this season. As freshmen, Davie backed up Ganger and Devlin missed the entire year after having surgery. Freshmen Chase Mayhabb (132), Alex Gainer (145) — a junior high state placer last year — Levi Sims (170) and Brayden Moore (106) will provide the Eagles with more depth and talent in various weight classes. And all of those guys will be thrown into the fire right away. “We’ve got one of the toughest schedules that Troy Christian has had in a while,” Morgan said. “So the guys are going to be battle-tested right away, that’s for sure. But that’s going to be good for them. We want them to be challenged throughout the season. That will help prepare them for the postseason. “We are hoping we can have everybody peaking at the right time during sectional, district and state.” And if that can happen, the Eagles just may be hoisting the first-place trophy at the end of the season.

NIU tops Kent State in OT for MAC title DETROIT (AP) — Jordan Lynch ran for three touchdowns, including a 2-yarder in the second overtime, and Demetrius Stone’s interception in the end zone gave No. 19 Northern Illinois a 44-37 victory over No. 18 Kent State in a stirring Mid-American Conference championship game Friday night. Both teams were hoping a win would boost
them into the top 16 of the BCS rankings and give them a berth in one of college football’s marquee bowls. Northern Illinois (12-1) dominated for much of the night, but the Golden Flashes (11-2) tied it at 34 in the final minute of regulation. Kent State trailed 2713 earlier in the fourth before scoring two touchdowns in a 15-second span.

No. 14 Nebraska hoping for title luck vs. Wis. INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Nebraska’s Will Compton may never forget the agonizing details of his first two conference championship game. A third one could finally put those nightmares to rest. On Saturday night at Lucas Oil Stadium, No. 14 Nebraska will rely on some of the lessons from losses in the 2009 and 2010 Big 12 title games as they try to claim their first Big Ten crown. “We’ve been there a cou-
ple times and we’ve even tasted winning a championship because we ran out there the first time against Texas before we got that called back. So we’ve tasted the winning,” Compton said. “We’ve got to do everything necessary to not be in those positions again and get it done this year.” Despite being one of only seven schools with 800 wins (856), appearing in 34 consecutive bowl games from 1971 to 2003 and winning 43 conference championships, the Cornhuskers
(10-2, 7-1) haven’t claimed a conference crown since 1999. It’s not been for lack of effort. In 2009 against Texas, Nebraska started celebrating when Colt McCoy’s errant pass sailed out of bounds as time expired. After a replay review, the officials added 1 second to the clock enough time for Hunter Lawrence to make a 46-yard field goal as time expired again, sending the unbeaten Longhorns into the national championship
game with a 13-12 victory. A year later, Nebraska was back. This time, it jumped to a 17-0 secondquarter lead against longtime rival Oklahoma, surrendered the lead before halftime, got the lead back on a 42-yard field goal with 8 seconds left in the half, and then got shut out in the second half. Oklahoma hung on for a 23-20 victory in Nebraska’s final Big 12 game, preventing the Huskers from reaching a BCS bowl. So when this week
began, Compton and the upperclassmen didn’t need any reminders about championship games past. “It’s very motivating for our team and the whole state of Nebraska, they haven’t had a conference championship since 1999, and we’re really excited to go out and play for our third one in four years,” quarterback Taylor Martinez said. “Hopefully, we can bring this one home.” It’s been such a strange year in the Big Ten that
Nebraska isn’t even facing a ranked opponent in Indy. The league’s best team, No. 4 Ohio State (12-0), can’t play because it is ineligible for the postseason under NCAA sanctions. Resurgent Penn State couldn’t play, either, because of the same reason. The only other ranked teams in the league, No. 21 Michigan and No. 22 Northwestern, are in the same division as Nebraska, putting the stumbling Badgers (7-5, 4-4) in the title game.

Spurs fined $250K by Stern By the Associated Press Gregg Popovich sent his best players home, deciding they reached the end of the road before the trip was over. For that, and for keeping it a secret, the San Antonio Spurs were fined $250,000 by the NBA on Friday. Commissioner David Stern said the Spurs “did a disservice to the league and our fans” when they didn’t bring Tim Duncan, Tony AP PHOTO Parker, Manu Ginobili or San Antonio Spurs members, from left, Richard Danny Green to Miami for Jefferson, Tim Duncan and Tony Parker, watch the final game of the sixaction from the bench during a game Jan. 22, 2011, game trip. in New Orleans. “The result here is dictat-
ed by the totality of the facts in this case,” Stern said in a statement. “The Spurs decided to make four of their top players unavailable for an early-season game that was the team’s only regularseason visit to Miami. The team also did this without informing the Heat, the media, or the league office in a timely way. Under these circumstances, I have concluded that the Spurs did a disservice to the league and our fans.” Teams are required to report as soon as they know a player will not travel because of injury. The league’s statement
said the Spurs were in violation of league policy reviewed with the board of governors in April 2010 against resting players in a manner “contrary to the best interests of the NBA.” The Spurs didn’t comment on the penalty. The issue of resting healthy players has been debated before, though usually at the end of the season, not a month into it. And the Spurs have been right at the center of it, Popovich using the rest strategy for an aging team that could use more time off than the NBA schedule often allows. They even made a joke
out of it last season, the box score listing “OLD” next to the 36-year-old Duncan’s name as the reason he didn’t play. Stern wasn’t laughing Thursday. He has a nearly $5 billion a year industry to protect and can’t like it when teams aren’t willing to put their best product on display in a marquee game televised by national TV partner TNT. Fans and viewers were excited about seeing the Spurs try to complete an unbeaten road trip against the Heat, so there was an understandable letdown when they learned of the absences.

Penske coronation
Panel to eye links between Armstrong, UCI
The Captain has reached pinnacle with 1st Cup title LAS VEGAS (AP) — At no point in the days leading into NASCAR’s season finale did Roger Penske assume his 40-year wait for a championship would finally end. Brad Keselowski had the Sprint Cup title well within reach and a decent day would give Penske Racing its first title at NASCAR’s top level. But weird things happen in racing, and the team owner wasn’t taking anything for granted. And then he slipped, just slightly, admitting two days before the Nov. 18 finale that he’d told his upper management group he was sick and tired of being just another face in the crowd at the season-ending awards ceremony. “I kid these guys and say, ‘I don’t want to sit down in the front row anymore, I want to be up on the stage so I see who’s at the party,’” Penske said. Well, “The Captain” was assured of a spot on the main stage Friday night at Wynn Las Vegas Resort, where the party was very much for Penske. Penske is the titan of motorsports, the gold standard of open-wheel racing. He’s got 23 championships in various series and 15 Indianapolis 500 victories, but his NASCAR operation never could reach the pinnacle. Now he’s done it with Keselowski, and the entire industry couldn’t be more pleased for Penske. “I’ve known Roger Penske since I was a teenager, I have worked with Roger Penske my entire professional life, and it’s really, really exciting for me to know and see Roger because in everything he’s done, he’s done it with high integrity, he’s done it with incredible effort and he’s done it with amazing class,” NASCAR chairman Brian France said in an unscripted moment of a speech during one of the Champion’s Week events. “I couldn’t be more thrilled that Roger, you’re getting your first Sprint Cup championship … way to go. I’m really impressed.” That’s been the senti-

Brad Keselowski hugs owner Roger Penske after winning the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series championship following an auto race at Homestead-Miami Speedway Nov. 18 in Homestead, Fla. ment all week in Las Vegas, where Penske is the toast of the town. “I think for Roger, as long as he’s been in the sport and as hard as he’s tried and all the championships he’s won in the other series, that everybody likes seeing somebody achieve this because he’s worked so hard for this,” said four-time champion Jeff Gordon. “And he’s such an amazing person, and such a successful person, that a lot of this banquet is around him.” At his pristine car dealership inside the Wynn, he was the center of attention at a reception to celebrate the achievement. Surrounded by sparkling Ferrari’s and Maserati’s, the 75-year-old Penske threw back cold Miller Lite’s as he spent most of the evening hanging out by a virtual racing simulator. He kept a running order of who he wanted to next
drive the simulator, and excitedly noted who logged the fastest laps. “I’m buying one of these,” Penske kept repeating. One of those to try the simulator and mingle at the party was IndyCar rival Chip Ganassi, who paid his respects to the owner he’s admired his entire career. “I couldn’t be more happy for Roger because nobody has worked harder and made more effort at trying to do well across all forms of the sport,” Ganassi said. “He’s obviously been a big influence of mine over the years. He’s one of the people you would emulate or want to be like, and he has set the bar at a new level. I am happy, I am jealous, I have a lot of awe, a lot of respect and I’m looking forward to now chasing him in another category.” Penske planes have been arriving daily all week as friends, family, employees and longtime associates
have been arriving to celebrate. The last arrival was a chartered 747 that brought in almost 250 Penske employees who were treated to a trip to Las Vegas. That’s the Penske way reward everyone because this championship belongs to the entire organization. “I never realized the power and the impact of this sport, and I’ve been involved in the Super Bowl in Detroit in 2006 and all the noise that goes on with championships, but this is so special,” Penske said. “For me, thousands of people have sent me communication. But I walked into my office on Monday morning (after the race) and they had a big banner already they’d made up for the championship. You don’t think about walking into your own place and seeing that. That banner is going to hang in every one of our 1,500 locations around the U.S.

Perfect Dawson Browns kicker having super year BEREA (AP) — As Phil Dawson stuffed a seemingly endless supply of cleats into his travel bag, the Browns kicker kept in mind the wicked weather forecast for Sunday’s game in Oakland. Rain is expected to soak the Bay Area. “I keep hearing the word torrential,” the softspoken Texan said. “Where I come from that means a lot.” Figures. There will be less-than-ideal conditions when the Browns (3-8) try to snap a 12game road losing streak as they visit the Raiders (3-8). But that’s nothing new for Dawson, who despite kicking in swirling winds, on soggy, chewed-up fields and for bad teams throughout his career, is having a
perfect season. In his 14th year with the Browns, the supersteady 37-year-old has never been better. He’s made all 21 field-goal attempts, including five from beyond 50 yards. Dawson, unquestionably the best thing about the Browns since their return as an expansion franchise in 1999, has converted 27 straight kicks since last season, and he’s the only fulltime kicker in the NFL without a miss. Yet, when the league recently released fan balloting for the Pro Bowl, Dawson wasn’t among the top, more than 60,000 votes behind Oakland’s Sebastian Janikowski. Dawson won’t campaign for selection, but punter Reggie Hodges isn’t ashamed to stump for his teammate.

AP survey: Bonds, Clemens likely to miss in Hall vote NEW YORK (AP) — Baseball’s all-time home run king and the most decorated pitcher likely will be shut out of the Hall of Fame in January. A survey by The Associated Press shows that Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens, as well as slugger Sammy Sosa, don’t have enough votes to get into Cooperstown. With steroid scandals still very much on the minds of longtime members of the Baseball Writers’ Association of America as they cast their ballots, the trio failed to
muster even 50 percent support among the 112 voters contacted by the AP nearly one-fifth of those eligible to choose. Candidates need 75 percent for election So Bonds, the only seven-time MVP, and Clemens, the only seventime Cy Young Award winner, are likely to remain outside the Hall along with career hits leader Pete Rose, who was banned for betting on baseball as manager of the Cincinnati Reds. “I’m not going to vote for
anybody who has been tainted or associated with steroids,” said MLB.com’s Hal Bodley, the former baseball columnist for USA Today. “I’m just not going to do it. I might change down the road, but I just love the game too much. I have too much passion for the game and for what these people did to it.” The current ballot was announced this week and Bonds, Clemens and Sosa were on it for the first time. Votes will be cast throughout the month and results will be released Jan. 9.
Among voters who expressed an opinion, Bonds received 45 percent support, Clemens 43 percent and Sosa 18 percent. To gain election, Bonds and Clemens would need more than 80 percent support among the voters not surveyed and Sosa would need to get more than 85 percent. “No one would dare say that Bonds, a seven-time National League MVP with 762 home runs, isn’t a Hall of Famer,” Thom Loverro, a columnist for The Washington Examiner,
wrote in a column that explained his decision. “Nor would anyone say that Clemens, with 354 career victories, 4,672 strikeouts and seven Cy Young Awards, shouldn’t be enshrined in Cooperstown. The same goes for Sosa, who finished with 609 career home runs, including 243 of them from 1998 through 2001. “Except they cheated all of them. And this Hall of Fame is not just about numbers. Three of the six criteria for election to Cooperstown are sports-
manship, integrity and character. Bonds, Sosa and Clemens fail on all three counts.” The Denver Post’s Troy Renck doesn’t plan to vote for them, either. “I understand that everyone has their opinion on this issue and I respect those,” he said in a telephone interview. “For me personally, having coached kids for the last decade and talked to them about doing things a certain way, I would feel very uncomfortable voting for anyone that is a known cheater.”

Replogle scored a game-high 30 points and grabbed 15 rebounds — with six of those points coming early in overtime as the Elks built a 73-68 lead. “Their size hurt us, and their strength wore us down at times,” Miller said. “Though I also thought we eliminated a lot of shots for them inside, too. We knew we would struggle matching up with them man-toman thanks to their strength, and the kids did a nice job of following our gameplan.” Nelson — who moved in from Wayne — found himself a home with the Trojans, also, scoring a team-high 22 points and nailing four 3s. One of those 3s was banked in on a halfcourt heave at the end of the third quarter, tying the score at 44-44 — one of 13 ties in the game. Nelson also showed some toughness of the mental variety. After missing his first four free throws — and being hit by an “0 for 4” chant by the Centerville student section — Nelson was perfect from the line the rest of the night, finishing 4 for 8. He also was forced to leave the game after a vicious foul, being mauled by two Elks near the end of regulation, but he re-entered in overtime and knocked down a late 3. “He’s (Nelson) fit right in with us here, trying to do what we’re asking him to do,” Miller said. “We want him to play a major role for us.” But the third quarter truly belonged to Miller — Troy’s leading returning scorer from last year’s sectional championship team. Miller scored 12 of his 19 points in the third, with Nelson scoring eight and the Trojans scoring 21 as a team, to erase an eight-point halftime deficit. “In order for us to be successful, the ball has to go through Tyler’s hands,” Miller said. “The kids did a nice job of looking for him and finding him — and also taking advantage of their own opportunities playing off of him while Centerville was keying on him.” Centerville, however, almost had a lack of mental toughness cost it the game late in the fourth quarter, going 1 for 4 from the free throw line in the final two minutes and blowing the front end of two one-and-ones. That gave Cascaden the chance he needed, and he canned

Cascaden tied the game again in overtime with a pull-up jumper at 67-67, then Replogle went to work with a basket inside. Cascaden drove again for a basket and a foul — but he was not awarded the continuation on the shot, and he made 1 of 2 free throws. Replogle scored again to make it a 71-68 game, but Cascaden — still showing no fear to take the ball into traffic despite his earlier injury — drove for what looked like another basket and a foul. This time, though, a charging call wiped out the points completely, and Repogle converted yet again on the other end to make it a five-point game. A three-point play by Jared Weyler on the next Centerville possession made the score 76-69, and the Elks didn’t look back.

MASSILLON, Ohio (AP) Hunter Wilker had not practiced even one play at running back all year. Pressed into service due to injuries, the freshman wide receiver ran for three touchdowns to lead Maria Stein Marion Local to its sixth state football championship, a 28-21 win over Newark Catholic on Friday. Wilker scored on a 1yard run with 21 seconds left to put the Flyers (13-2) ahead. Newark Catholic (12-3), seeking its ninth state title, incredibly drove into position to tie it, but Nate Nagel broke up a potential touchdown at the goal line with no time left. “This is the toughest game I’ve ever coached,” said Tim Goodwin, whose record at the small school from western Ohio
improved to 154-40. “Of all the championships, this was the hardest, without a doubt.” The Flyers repeated as champions despite losing starting tailback Jacy Goettemoeller to a leg injury on the first drive of the game and his replacement Aaron Nietfeld with a shoulder problem in the third quarter. “Losing Jacy took the wind out of our sails, but the kids stayed focused, worked hard, and did the job,” Goodwin said. “Hunter was a running back in junior high. We played him at wide receiver because we had other runners ahead of him. He hadn’t practiced at tailback all year, but came in and didn’t miss a beat. “And what can I say about Nate? He had not
played much at all, and they went at him with the game on the line. He made the play. That’s not coaching. That’s character.” Chayce Croch threw two TD passes and had a 5-yard TD run for Newark Catholic. TCC 16, Trotwood 12 MASSILLON, Ohio — Amir Edwards has rushed for 185 yards and two touchdowns to help Toledo Central Catholic win its second Ohio state Division II football championship by beating defending champion Trotwood-Madison 1612. The 14-1 Fighting Irish held Trotwood-Madison running back Israel Green to 56 yards on 14 carries Friday night. A year ago, Green had 326 yards and six touchdowns when the
Rams won the title. Trotwood-Madison is 123. It got a pair of touchdown passes from Messiah Deweaver in the fourth quarter. He hit Ryon Lucas from 13 yards with 9:20 to play and connected with Demarcus Wilson from 24 yards with 2:38 left. Toledo Central Catholic also won the title in 2005. Clinton Massie 46, St. Clair 36 CANTON — Bayle Wolf ran for 220 yards and scored five touchdowns to lead Clinton-Massie to its first state football championship, 46-36 over St. Clairsville in Division IV on Friday. Wolf scored on a 9-yard run and 36-yard pass from Tyler Uetrecht in the first three minutes for the Falcons (15-0). They totaled 822 points this year, a state record for any level.
