U.S. job gains defy Sandy, fears Hiring could accelerate if ‘fiscal cliff’ averted WASHINGTON (AP) — It takes more than a superstorm to derail the U.S. job market. Employers added 146,000 jobs in November and the unemployment rate dipped to 7.7 percent, a four-year low, the government said Friday. Though modest, the job growth was encouraging because it defied

Pearl Harbor dead remembered PEARL HARBOR, Hawaii (AP) — More than 2,000 people at Pearl Harbor and many more around the country are marking the 71st anniversary of the Japanese attack that killed thousands of people and launched the United States into World War II. The USS Michael Murphy, a recently christened ship named after a Pearl Harbor-based Navy SEAL killed in Afghanistan, sounded its ship’s whistle Friday to start a moment of silence at 7:55 a.m., marking the exact time the bombing began in 1941.

disruptions from Superstorm Sandy and employers’ concerns about impending tax increases from the year-end “fiscal cliff.” Analysts said the job market’s underlying strength suggests that if the White House and Congress can reach a budget deal to avoid the cliff, hiring and economic growth could accelerate next year.

A budget agreement would coincide with gains in key sectors of the economy. Builders are breaking ground on more homes, which should increase construction hiring. U.S. automakers just enjoyed their best sales month in nearly five years. And a resolution of the fiscal cliff could lead businesses to buy more

United Way on target to hit goal Organizers close 2012 campaign BY MELANIE YINGST Staff Writer myingst@tdnpublishing.com

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Mormon leaders made their most significant outreach yet to gays and lesbians, unveiling a new website Thursday that encourages church members to be more compassionate in discussions about homosexuality

Slow and steady wins the race to meet the 2012 United Way of Troy’s campaign goal of $790,000. According to director Richard Bender, this year’s donations are on target to meet and possibly exceed last year’s campaign goal. “We’re reading the projections and they are on their way up — right now it’s around $792,000,” Bender said at the closing ceremony Friday at the Troy Senior Citizen Center. “Compared to last year — dollar for dollar — once the dust settles we should be good to go.” Bender projects this year’s campaign looks like it will exceed the $790,000 annual goal, but one interesting factor has slowed contributions. “The numbers came in slower this year and when I talked to (former director) Lucy (Di Salvo) she

For parks superintendent Tim Mercer, the perks of working for the parks department can be summed up quite simply: “having the sky as your office.” After nearly 35 years with the city of Troy — plus a few additional years beginning in high school — Mercer will retire this month. “I knew this is where I wanted

TROY to work till I retired. Having the blue sky as your office — you can’t beat that,” said Mercer, 57, who had his first taste of working for the city of Troy during high school, when he was hired by Miami Shores Golf Course for the greens crew. “During those summers the bug bit and I immediately knew I loved the outdoors and working around

turf,” Mercer said. “Not just any kind of turf, but a place where mowing straight lines, striping putting greens and maintaining meticulous grounds was an important daily task.” He then worked worked fulltime for the golf course for 16 months before he “thought the grass was greener on the other side” and decided to dabble in a few other jobs, including working at a factory. But after a few years, he returned to the city of Troy in 1978, this time as a laborer. That’s when Mercer knew the search for a career path was over.

Fund raising continues for new auditorium seating BY JOHN BADEN For the Troy Daily News editorial@tdnpublishing.com Over the last century, Bethel Local Schools’ auditorium has hosted many concerts and musical productions, but now the historic centerpiece to the school’s campus is being revamped. Completed in 1918, the auditorium, which is inside the elementary school building, underwent its first renovation in 1976, when the room had wooden seats and windows on one side of the room. Since this past summer, the auditorium has been repainted and enhanced with new carpet, wiring and green and black curtains, which were put up just last weekend. According to the school website, all of these additions and

A $1,000 haircut Covington Middle School Principal Josh Long has his head shaved and cut into a mohawk by middle school math teacher Jason Ahrens on Friday afternoon. Long agreed to receive the haircut, and dye his remaining hair red, if students could raise $1,000 for the American Red Cross to use for Hurricane Sandy relief. Students met their goal and presented a check to R. Scott Miller, executive director for the Northern Miami Valley Chapter of the American Red Cross, for $1,001.37. Ahrens’ class raised the most money in the effort so he was given the honor of handling the clippers.

Retiring riding bikes and kayaking with his wife LaRayne, who works for Troy City Schools. They have a grown daughter, Megan, 33, who lives in Wisconsin. Mercer and his wife also have applied for summer positions at Yellowstone National Park, in which they would have free room and board in lieu of a paycheck. The city is hosting a retirement reception for Mercer from 1-3 p.m. Thursday in city hall.

going to look so nice that it was a shame not to have it,” Elam said. The plan will remove 295 plastic chairs from the auditorium and replace them with 284 plush, durable chairs and new flooring tiles. “Now everyone will have a comfortable seat to sit in instead of enduring a twoand-a-half hour musical in a hard, plastic seat,” Elam said. Elam said the chairs also will benefit others by bringing the volume of sound down in the room. “It will cut down on the reverberation because the fabric on the chairs will help to knock some of that down,” Elam said. According to Elam, the reason for fewer chairs is because the tech desk in the back will be expanded, and handicapped seating will be installed in some areas in the room.

With a couple months left to go, Elam said the renovations are “looking great so far.” By the end of January, the total amount needed to be raised for the seats will be $42,000. Elam said that after a few months and two successful open houses at the school, which informed the public of the project, $37,000 has been donated and pledged. “We have done very well and I am very appreciative of our township residents and businesses,” Elam said. To donate to the Bethel Auditorium Renovation project, call Elam at (937) 845-9487 or go to www.bethel.k12.oh.us/arp.

Seats • Continued from 1 replacements were done through capital improvement funds. The project is far from done though, as the school expects to replace the room’s seating in late January or early February. This part of the project is not being done by the school, but by Greystone Public Seating LLC, a private company out of Michigan. As a result, the school is turning to businesses, foundations, graduates and residents for donations. Danny Elam, Bethel’s band and choir director for the past 26 years, has been volunteering to raise money for this third phase in the transformation since August. He said the original plan didn’t have new seating on the list. “I just thought it was

from grants from the United Way of Troy, Bender said. Co-chairman Bill Barney said the Troy community once again stepped up to help its neighbors who benefit from the United Way of Troy services and agencies. “The compassion in the town has been phenomenal with the individual support and the corporate support,” Barney said. Barney noted the community support was visible at the Troy Senior Citizens Center, where members helped prepare 13,000 mailers for the United Way of Troy. “We have a phenomenal community and it really comes together in times of need,” Barney said. Ruth Jenkins, president of the United Way of Troy, agreed. “I’m so proud of the response this community has given in times of need – we take care of our own here in Troy,” Jenkins said. “I have so much respect for what the agencies do. The volunteers and the workers are the ones who do the hard work each and every day – it’s just a blessing.” Jenkins said she loves spreading the word of the good works each United Way of Troy agency does on a daily basis. “All the hard work is through these amazing nonprofits. They apply each and every year and if there is something new and it fits our mission, we are open to hear it,” she said.

Jobs • Continued from 1 talks seeking a deal to steer clear of the cliff. The White House used Friday’s mixed jobs report as an argument to push President Barack Obama’s proposed tax-rate increases for top earners, public works spending and refinancing help for struggling homeowners. Superstorm Sandy, contrary to expectations, dampened job growth only minimally in November, the government said. Job gains were roughly the same as this year’s 150,000 monthly average, and the

unemployment rate fell two-tenths of a percentage point to its lowest level since December 2008. That suggests that fears about the cliff haven’t led employers to cut staff, though they aren’t hiring aggressively, either. The economy must produce roughly twice November’s job gain to quickly lower the unemployment rate. Friday’s report included some discouraging signs. Employers added 49,000 fewer jobs in October and September combined than the government had initially estimated.

“I got back on and I thought, ‘This is awesome and this is what I want to do,’” he recalled. He went on to become foreman and was later promoted to parks superintendent. Mercer said the highlight of his career was enhancing the scenery and adding amenities to Duke Park, the largest in the park district, in addition to adding picnic shelters at Kensington Park, Carriage

Crossing Park, Archer Park and Menke Park, which previously didn’t have any. As for his favorite park? That would be Menke. “It’s right off Main Street, but in the summer, when the leaves are out, you can’t even hear the noise from 100 yards away,” Mercer said. “It almost gives you the feeling that you’re out in the country.” With retirement on the horizon, Mercer said he plans to continue spending much of his time outdoors,

said it happens each time it’s an election year,” Bender said. “We’re still real pleased and in some areas we are up and others we are down but it looks like it will all balance out in the end.” Bender said although contributions can be made year round, several companies approached the United Way of Troy staff to see how they could make their contributions bigger and better than in years past. “We had a couple businesses that doubled their campaign contributions this year and we had others come up to us and ask how they could increase their numbers,” Bender said. “So we went out and helped them come up with ways to inspire their employees and their employees got on board with it.” Bender said with the campaign goal met this year, each United Way agency will have its budget filled and several other grants will be awarded to help other nonprofits fill their needs in the Troy community. “We’ve been really blessed with young and new directors who have been a real joy to work with,” Bender said, naming Lincoln Center and the Troy Rec directors Shane Carter and Nicole Haines. Both youth centers have benefited in the past from the Troy United Way through grants for upgrades to their facilities in part from the campaign exceeding its goal. Other non-profits such as the Family Abuse Shelter and the St. Patrick Soup Kitchen also will benefit

Edison scholarship committee collecting used books for sale The Preston Shepard “No Boundaries� Scholarship Committee at Edison Community College is requesting donations of good, clean used books, movies and music. Anyone who has old books in good condition that they want to clear out, the scholarship committee would like to have them for their first used book sale. They also need music and movies. They are looking for familyfriendly paperbacks, hard backs, textbooks, recipe books, Christian books including Christian fiction, such as the Amish type books, children’s books, biographies, sportsrelated books and other books that are fiction or non-fiction, along with movies on VCR or DVD and music of different genres. The group is requesting no pornography or books that would reflect badly on Edison or the scholarship committee. The organization is also requesting no donations of encyclopedias or dictionaries, as they are unlikely to sell. The organization hopes to raise funds for the Preston Shepard No Boundaries Scholarship and award. The award is in honor of Preston Shepard, a 2012 Edison

PIQUA honors graduate who overcame great obstacles in his life to earn a degree. He is now working on his bachelor’s degree at a four-year college and plans to earn a master’s degree. Shepard is an inspiration to many people at Edison and in the community for his determination, energy and positive attitude after he was injured in a fall that left him a paraplegic. The book sale will help to fund a scholarship and award that will be given to an individual who is an Edison student who has overcome obstacles in their life to achieve their educational and career goals. The first Preston Shepard No Boundaries Award was presented in the spring to Shepard and will hopefully be presented by him to the next recipient of the award. Anyone who would like to donate to the Preston Shepard No Boundaries Scholarship Fund can do so by contacting Chris Norman at Edison Community College at 778-8600. Those wanting to donate books or music for the book sale can do so by bringing them to Edison and leaving them

in the large boxes at Edison’s main entrance, inside the third set of doors on the west side facing Looney Road, or at the entrance to the new Emerson addition at the glassed-in area near the front entrance near the “point� of the school. The boxes are marked with a photo of Shepard and are marked for the book sale. The book sale is scheduled for early in the spring semester and will be open to the public. The book donations will be accepted through the first day of the sale. The dates for the sale will be announced soon. Donations are accepted between 8 a.m. and 9 p.m. Monday-Friday and from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Saturdays during school hours. Books can be dropped off during those times except during Christmas break, when the school will be closed, which includes Dec. 24-26 and Jan. 1. Edison Community College is at 1973 Edison Drive off of Looney Road in Piqua. Anyone with questions about donations can contact Ashley Nix at (937) 570-3073 or Kathy Leese at (937) 489-3711.

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 Arab News, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, on Israel: The celebratory gunfire in Gaza that greeted the start of the Nov. 21 truce may have been in part to greet the end of the slaughter of the Israeli onslaught. This has seen at least 162 Palestinians die, the majority of them civilians, and in excess of 1,200 people injured. Some of these will die later and many more will have to live with crippling disabilities for the rest of their lives. But the hail of bullets that was fired into the air also marked a victory. The Israelis had done their worst and had discovered that in return, Hamas rockets had been fired at Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. Once again, the Palestinians trapped in the Gaza ghetto had not been cowed and this time, the Israeli Army had hesitated to send in ground forces, because the Netanyahu government had a good idea of the fierce opposition they would meet. No one on either side has forgotten the humiliating defeat that Israel’s once seemingly invincible troops had met in 2006 in southern Lebanon, at the hands of the more lightly armed, but carefully organized Hezbollah militia. There was however more of a victory than most of the jubilant Hamas fighters realized. That victory is this: Whatever happens now to the cease-fire, Israel has just experienced a psychological and strategic defeat, largely of its own making, which its leaders and generals would do well to recognize and analyze. Egypt is also no longer a friendly neighbor, prepared to help Israel enforce its economic blockade of the Palestinians in Gaza. … The Assad regime can no longer use the issue of the Golan Heights and further Israeli aggression as it levers to keep its own people in order. The upshot is that Israel finally finds itself entirely friendless in the Middle East. … Israel has grown and flourished through the conflict it has manufactured since 1948. It does not have a clue how to survive as a state at peace. The Asahi Shimbun, Tokyo, on women in politics: If Japan is to have any chance of political renewal, it must promote the power of women. We urge the political parties to take bold steps to significantly increase the number of female Diet members in next month’s Lower House election. The Liberal Democratic Party’s election manifesto, for instance, promises to harness the power of women to forge a better society. That being the case, the LDP should be the first to start taking action in that direction. By international standards, the ratio of women legislators in Japan is exceptionally low. The ratio of female members of the Lower House finally surpassed 10 percent three years ago but still stands at only 10.8 percent. Last month, the World Economic Forum released a “Global Gender Gap Report 2012,” which contains indexes showing the degrees of inequality between men and women in various areas. Japan’s overall ranking fell for the second year in a row to 101st among 135 countries covered. While Japan’s rankings in the categories of “health and survival” and “educational attainment” are not so bad, its position is low in “economic participation and opportunity” and especially so in “political empowerment,” where it was ranked 110th. Many countries have raised the ratio of female legislators by setting a rule that requires a certain percentage of lawmakers and candidates for the parliament to be women. This approach is called a quota system. In Japan, too, parties should start by setting this kind of target for increasing female Diet members. Debate on possible future efforts to promote the cause, including new legislation, if necessary, should start immediately. During her recent visit to Japan, International Monetary Fund Managing Director Christine Lagarde said revitalizing Japan requires making greater use of the power of women. Well, that’s so obvious and doesn’t need to be pointed out by a foreign observer.

DOONESBURY

It’s time to question how far we want to go As parents, we want to do what is best for our children. We want them to go to the best schools, grow up in a house where they want for nothing and become not just as good as we are, but better, a lot better. We want them to be the best athlete (if that’s what they want), we want them to be the best trumpet player (if that’s what they want), we want them to be smart, handsome, pretty; we want them to have the perfect lives. And because we want them to have the perfect lives, we throw them alligator pool birthday parties. Wait a minute, what? Yeah, I’m not quite sure what those parents are thinking either. I want my children to have fun birthday parties, but I don’t really think I really need a live, breathing baby alligator with its mouth taped shut to come hang out in their pool either. I wish I was kidding about this. It’s apparently the hottest trend breaking out in Florida. For $175 and upwards a man with his own alligator petting zoo-esque business will tape up the baby croc’s mouth and let him come play in the pool with your birthday child

Amanda Stewart Troy Daily News Columnist and their closest friends. Don’t worry, though, it’s completely safe, because the baby alligator’s mouth muscles are actually so weak that they pose very little threat when it comes to snapping or biting at your child. It’s something that the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission has said isn’t illegal, but also it’s not really something they encourage, either. I’m going to step away from the whole safety aspect of having a baby alligator in your pool for a second and probably annoy you with my vegan rants. Often people think our vegan lifestyle extends merely to what we eat, like we’re masochists when it comes to dining out or family gatherings.

— Cindy Miller Executive Director, Covington Outreach Association

But that’s not really the case. Veganism is a lifestyle and it’s something that entails not just what we put in our bodies, but what we cover them with (not leather or fur), what we wash them with (only cruelty-free, nonanimal-tested products for us) and ultimately, where we take our bodies for entertainment (not the rodeo or circus anytime soon). I understand that a lot of people don’t want to know where their food comes from; heck, some of you probably don’t actually care even. So it’s easy for me to give you a pass when it comes to that hamburger or chicken salad you’re having for lunch. But can you really say that you think a baby alligator, a recently born-into-thisworld, feeling, living being, deserves and on that sentiment, enjoys having its mouth taped up and being hauled from pool to pool while a bunch of rambunctious kids splash around it? Please tell me someone else recognizes the insanity of this idea. Trust me, I’m not going to become an alligator’s best friend anytime soon, but is your kid really going to be scarred for life because you didn’t have an alligator at their ninth birthday party?

This new trend hits its high in the same week that two different sites report dolphin attacks on humans. A little girl at SeaWorld was taking part in the “feed the dolphin” attraction when the dolphin reached out of the water and clamped down on the (empty) container of food and her hand. She was left with dime-sized punctures, but overall unscathed. The video has been viral, with parents everywhere complaining that SeaWorld “didn’t do enough.” It’s a wild animal, folks. I don’t care if it’s all sorts of friendly looking and dances for treats, it’s an animal that was designed to be out in the wild. What do you think a baby alligator would do if you hung a flimsy cardboard container of food over its head and weren’t paying attention? I’m going to bet that the wild animal (dolphin, alligator or peacock for all we know) would probably snap at its food, regardless if your hand was attached to said cardboard container of food. Of course, we’d have to remove the tape from its mouth first.

Taps are played during a ceremony commemorating the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor Friday at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. Pearl Harbor Veterans from all over the country gathered at the World War II Valor In The Pacific National Monument remembering the 71st anniversary of Dec. 7, 1941, surprise attack.

Pearl Harbor dead remembered on 71st anniversary of attack PEARL HARBOR, Hawaii (AP) — More than 2,000 people at Pearl Harbor and many more around the country are marking the 71st anniversary of the Japanese attack that killed thousands of people and launched the United States into World War II. USS Michael The Murphy, a recently christened ship named after a Pearl Harbor-based Navy SEAL killed in Afghanistan, sounded its ship’s whistle Friday to start a moment of silence at 7:55 a.m., marking the exact time the bombing began in 1941. Crew members lined the edge of the Navy guidedmissile destroyer in the harbor where the USS Arizona and USS Utah, battleships that sank in the attack, still lie. Hawaii Air National Guard F-22 fighter jets flew overhead in a special “missing man” formation to break the silence. “Let us remember that this is where it all began. Let us remember that the arc of history was bent at this place 71 years ago today and a generation of young men and women reached deep and rose up to lead our nation to victory,” Rhea Suh, Interior Department assistant secretary, told the crowd. “Let us remember and be forever grateful for all of their sacrifices.” About 30 survivors, many using walkers and canes, attended the commemoration. Edwin Schuler, of San Jose, Calif., said he remembered going up to the bridge of his ship, the USS

Phoenix, to read a book on a bright, sunny Sunday morning in 1941 when he saw planes dropping bombs. “I thought: ‘Whoa, they’re using big practice bombs.’ I didn’t know,” said Schuler, 91. Schuler said he’s returned for the annual ceremony about 30 times because it’s important to spread the message of remembering Pearl Harbor. Ewalt Shatz, 89, said returning to Pearl Harbor “keeps the spirit going, the remembering of what can happen.” Shatz, who now lives in Riverside, Calif., was on board the USS Patterson that morning when the alarm sounded. His more experienced shipmates were down below putting a boiler back together so Shatz found himself manning a 50-caliber machine gun for the first time. The Navy credited him with shooting

a Japanese plane. “That was some good shooting,” said U.S. Pacific Fleet commander Adm. Cecil Haney who recounted Shatz’ experience in the keynote address. “Thank you for your courage and tenacity our nation is truly grateful.” Online, Pearl Harbor became a popular topic on Facebook and other social networks, trending worldwide on Twitter and Google Plus as people marked the anniversary with status updates, personal stories of family and photos. The Navy and National Park Service, which is part of the Interior Department, hosted the ceremonies held in remembrance of the 2,390 service members and 49 civilians killed in the attack. Friday’s event gave special recognition to members of the Women Airforce Service Pilots, who flew

ances that tolls wouldn’t be used as a funding source before they could support the proposal. Chamber officials said tolls aren’t inevitable with a public-private partnership, pointing to options such as a gas tax and vehicle registration fees. Lawmakers, however, expressed skepticism. “The only way that a public-private partnership is viable is if there is a funding source for that public-private partnership, and in every situation that we’ve seen in Louisville and other areas that have advance public-private partnerships, there have been tolls associated with it,” said State Rep. Joe Fischer, R-Fort Thomas. “I do not support any legislation that will lead to local citizens being burdened with the cost of building the bridge.”

Offensive material could include pictures of scantily clad women in calendars, posters and elsewhere. Chief of Staff Mark Welsh told the Air Force Times that he’s heard complaints throughout the service about images, jokes and comments that made women and some men uncomfortable. A base spokesman called the search a “huge undertaking.”

noncombat missions during World War II, and to Ray Emory, a 91-year-old Pearl Harbor survivor who has pushed to identify the remains of unknown servicemen. The ceremony also includes a Hawaiian blessing, songs played by the U.S. Pacific Fleet band and a rifle salute from the U.S. Marine Corps. President Barack Obama marked the day on Thursday by issuing a presidential proclamation, calling for flags to fly at halfstaff on Friday and asking all Americans to observe the day of remembrance and honor military service members and veterans. “Today, we pay solemn tribute to America’s sons and daughters who made the ultimate sacrifice at Oahu,” Obama said in a statement. “As we do, let us also reaffirm that their legacy will always burn bright whether in the memory of those who knew them, the spirit of service that guides our men and women in uniform today, or the heart of the country they kept strong and free.” Daniel Inouye, Hawaii’s senior U.S. senator and a member of an Army unit of Japanese-Americans who volunteered to fight in World War II, said the Pearl Harbor attack evoked anger, fierce patriotism and racism. “Our way of life has always, and will always be, protected and preserved by volunteers willing to give their lives for what we believe in,” the Democrat said.

Builders, contractors, construction companies and engineers had sued over the tax, claiming that Ohio voters have repeatedly rejected the notion of diverting taxes raised from fuel sales to non-road work.

COVINGTON, Ky. (AP) — Northern Kentucky businesses say they want state lawmakers to consider legislation that would allow private funding options for a new Brent Spence Bridge. The bridge linking downtown Cincinnati and Covington is considered functionally obsolete by federal standards, with traffic way over its capacity. A current timetable calls for completion of the $2.4 billion bridge project in 2022, but businesses are campaigning to get it done earlier. The Kentucky Enquirer reports the Northern Kentucky Chamber of Commerce met with state lawmakers Thursday to discuss legislative priorities in advance of the 2012 General Assembly and the proposal topped its list. “This is not a problem that will fix itself,” said Tom Voss, district manager of DHL Global Forwarding in Hebron and chairman of the chamber’s transportation committee. “If we don’t solve the problem now, things will only get worse. People’s everyday lives will change. We will literally choke on our own congestion.” Many lawmakers said they would need assur-

vage jobs and eliminate consumer protection. Opponents of Senate Bill 273 say allowing unlicensed in-state and out-of-state buyers to purchase vehicles from Ohio salvage pools and auctions could cost jobs by creating unfair competition for the salvage businesses that are heavily regulated. Salvage vehicles are typically ones that have been wrecked or damaged and deemed too expensive to repair. Salvage yards usually buy them to sell the parts. The Ohio Auto and Truck Recyclers Association opposes the bill, which is says would drive up the price of vehicles, increasing costs for smaller salvage yards by 20 to 30 percent. Association President Jim McKinney says the damaged cars are dangerous and could be sold to unsuspecting consumers, it was reported Friday.

Mormon church wants more compassion for gays perspective, it can be done.” Gay rights advocates welcomed the effort while expressing hope that the church would someday accept same-sex marriage. “My hope that this assists our most vulnerable, our youth, to have a safe place to be able to talk about their identity and maintain a safe place within their families and communities,” said Valerie Balken, of Equality Utah, the state’s largest gay rights advocacy group. Balken said her organization was alerted earlier this week to the website launch, but was not consulted over the two years the church developed the site.

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Mormon leaders made their most significant outreach yet to gays and lesbians, unveiling a new website Thursday that encourages church members to be more compassionate in discussions about homosexuality. Church officials insist they haven’t changed the Mormon teaching that marriage is only between a man and a woman and that same-sex relationships are sinful. However, the website states that Mormons should be loving and respectful toward gays and lesbians, while appealing to gay and lesbian Mormons to stay in the church. “Reconciling same-sex attraction with a religious life can present an especially trying dilemma,” church leaders wrote on the website. “Anyone who lives in both worlds can attest to its difficulty. But with faith, love and

presentation that gay and lesbian Mormons who are not in samesex relationships can have “full fellowship in the church,” including holding the priesthood and participating in temple rituals a privilege reserved only for church members in good standing. And the church said it would no longer “necessarily advise” gays to “marry those of the opposite sex.” “Same-sex attraction itself is not a sin, but yielding to it is,” the website states. “However, through repentance Jesus Christ will offer forgiveness.” Church officials also posted video testimony from Latter-day Saints who struggled with the issue, either through having gay children or realizing they were gay. Among the testimonies is a lengthy, emotional from a man identified only as Tyler, about how he struggled with hopeless-

ness and alienation from God as he tried to reconcile his attraction to other men with his dedication to the church. The issue is particularly challenging for Latter-day Saints, who believe that Mormons in good standing spend eternity together with their families. A family member who leaves the church, a common occurrence for gay and lesbian Mormons, will remain separated from their relatives. Tyler eventually married a woman, Danielle, who is also featured, and the couple has a baby boy. Danielle said they were able to discuss his homosexuality and find a way to be happy, but “having that eternal perspective was a very important thing for us.” The website is the latest step from LDS leaders to make gays and lesbians feel more welcome in the church. Mormons faced intense criti-

cism after church leaders helped fund and lead the fight for California’s Proposition 8, a constitutional ban on gay marriage that voters adopted in 2008 after the state Supreme Court ruled that gay Californians could marry. Since then, church leaders have been trying to heal tensions. In 2009, a senior LDS spokesman made a rare public appearance before Salt Lake City lawmakers to support regulations protecting gays and lesbians from discrimination in housing and employment. In 2010, the Human Rights Campaign, a major gay civil rights group, protested after a high-ranking LDS leader called same-sex relationships unnatural. The church responded by condemning bias or cruelty toward others over any issue, including sexual orientation.

members and hamper their efforts to maintain drug-free worksites,� wrote Mark Latimer, head of the Rocky Mountain chapter of Associated Builders and Contractors. The havoc Latimer refers to is confusion over a law passed with cigarette smokers in mind. Colorado’s Lawful OffDuty Activities law says workers can’t be dismissed for legal behavior off the clock. A case pending in a state appeals court could settle the question. The case involves Brandon Coats, a telephone operator for Dish Network. Paralyzed in a teenage car crash, he’s also been a medical marijuana patient in Colorado since 2009. Coats was fired in 2010 for failing a company drug test, though his employer didn’t claim he was ever impaired on the job. Coats sued to get his job back, but a trial court dismissed his claim in 2011. The judge agreed with Dish Network that medical marijuana use isn’t a “lawful activity� covered by the law. Coats appealed, and the state Court of Appeals has agreed to hear the case but hasn’t set a date. According to the National Conference of State Legislatures, more than half the states have laws that protect workers who smoke cigarettes off the clock. Colorado’s law extends to all legal activities, though Washington state doesn’t have a similar statute. “If you’re doing it at home and it’s not illegal and it’s not impairing your work performance, you should be protected,� said Coats’ lawyer, Michael Evans. Some employers are required by law to conduct drug testing, including in industries regulated by the U.S. Departments of Transportation, Energy and Defense. In other cases, companies or agencies that receive federal grants or contracts, including universities that get money from the Department of Education and police agencies that obtain grants from the Department of Justice, are required to maintain drugfree workplaces.

U.S. consumer borrowing rises to $2.75T

Legal pot complicates work policies DENVER (AP) — Pot may be legal, but workers may want to check with their boss first before they grab the pipe or joint during off hours. Businesses in Washington state, where the drug is legal, and Colorado, where it will be by January, are trying to figure out how to deal with employees who use it on their own time and then fail a drug test. It is yet another uncertainty that has come with pot legalization as many ask how the laws will affect them. “There’s just an incredible amount of gray right now� about how marijuana legalization affects employers, said Sandra Hagen Solin of the Northern Colorado Legislative Alliance, a coalition of chambers of commerce. Police departments are especially worried. Officers take oaths to protect all laws, state and federal. In this case, pot is still prohibited under federal law. The Seattle police department is reviewing its policies on drug use by officers or prospective officers, spokesman Sgt. Sean Whitcomb said, adding that it’s unlikely off-duty officers will be allowed to use pot. The department might ease its requirement that applicants not have used marijuana in the previous three years. The Denver police department is reviewing Colorado’s marijuana law, which goes into effect in January. The department has no immediate plans to change employment practices, spokesman John White said. “Marijuana is still illegal at the federal level, so officers would not under any scenario be allowed to use marijuana,� White said. White wasn’t sure about pre-employment marijuana use. Other employers, especially those with federal contracts, are concerned what the new laws mean for them. One group of Colorado businesses has pleaded for clarity in a letter to the White House, which hasn’t said if it would sue to block the law. “The uncertainly created will cause havoc for our

Just try to accept your sister for who she is

Today: 6 p.m.: Mountain Heart Bluegrass 7 p.m.: Bookends 9 p.m.: Spotlight

Dear Annie: I have a sister who is 10 years older. "Doris" lives in a retirement hotel, and we speak often on the phone and see each other once a month or so. Recently, my oldest son told me he saw Doris dining in a posh restaurant. Even though I have since spoken to Doris, she never mentioned seeing my son. When I finally asked her why she hadn't told me, she tried to make excuses that he was with business associates, but it still didn't make sense that she never told me he was there. I know she has kept secrets about other people, and when I'd find out from someone else, she would apologize. But why can't she be open and trustworthy? My husband and I try to be considerate and helpful. We take her shopping, but she is always frustrated and negative. She never was a happy person to begin with, but lately she seems worse. Instead of being grateful for her good health, she complains and is inconsolable. Shall I just accept how she is and pretend all is well? I have no desire to share anything with her anymore. — Disgruntled in Calif. Dear Disgruntled: There may be another reason why Doris neglected to mention your son's appearance: She forgot. There seems to be no ulterior motive in keeping it a secret, so we think these things simply slide out of her head, and that's why she doesn't mention them. As she gets older, this is likely to happen more often. Her complaining, unfortunately, may be part of her personality. You could suggest she see her doctor for a checkup and also propose that she concentrate on the good things in her life. You are one of those. Please try to accept her as she is. Dear Annie: We recently hosted an early holiday, and I am still upset with the behavior of my husband's 42-year-old niece. My husband has had some major medical issues. He's doing fine with medication, but he has trouble learning new things, including how to work a complicated cellphone. His family knows all this. My husband opted for a flip phone that's easy for him to understand and use, but it's hardly the latest thing. During the visit, another family member called his phone to say hello. As we passed the phone around, someone accidentally disconnected us, and we had to start over. This niece made fun of the phone in front of the entire family and seemed intent on embarrassing him. My husband is the most special person in my life, and it hurt to see this 42-year-old brat make fun of him. To me, this "teasing" is rude and thoughtless. Am I being oversensitive? How should I address her nasty comments in the future? — Miffed Dear Miffed: You do seem a bit oversensitive. Teasing someone about a phone is not particularly personal, and we doubt the niece connected it to your husband's medical issues, although you obviously did. The best response to this type of thing is to laugh. If she is looking to get a rise out of you, that will put a stop to it. Dear Annie: "New York" was upset because her aunt said she was unreasonable for not attending a destination wedding. You said, "If you cannot afford to attend, it's OK to decline." I don't think it's a matter of being able to afford it. The couple getting married is asking a great deal in terms of time and money. Even if your finances permit such things, it's unfair for people to be expected to attend. — Been There Dear Been There: One does not need any excuse to send regrets for a wedding. But if it's close family, one might wish to make more of an effort to attend, no matter where it is. To all our Jewish readers: Happy Chanukah!

HINTS FROM HELOISE

Quality canning is easy, just be sure to prepare Dear Heloise: I’ve noticed that when I go to the store, I see lots of canning supplies. I guess people are starting to do it again. I have done it for years. It can be some work, but in the end, it is worth it. My family loves to come over and sample my canned items, especially the jellies and fruits. I just wanted to say that if someone is interested in canning, he or she should buy a reliable guide first. Some of the supplies you will need are good-quality jars, rings and seals, and a waterbath canner or a pressure canner. There also are items like funnels, a magnet to use to

Hints from Heloise Columnist remove seals from water when sterilizing, and specialized jarholding tongs. Here are my hints: • Never tap a metal spoon or utensil on the rim of a jar. • When unsealing a jar for the first time, use a bottle opener to pop off the lid. • Wash empty jars, screw a

ring loosely on to protect the rim, and store upside down. • Don’t use jars that have not been made for canning for pressure or boiling-water processing. — A Reader, via email You may want to be careful if you buy jars secondhand, since you can’t be sure how they were cared for. — Heloise PET PAL Dear Readers: Stephanie R. in New Braunfels, Texas, sent a photo of her cat, Big Mike, lying ever the gentleman on his favorite pillow. Stephanie says that Big Mike is the most chill cat she has

ever had. To see cool Big Mike, visit my website, www.Heloise.com, and click on “Pets.” — Heloise TOOTHBRUSH CLEANING Dear Heloise: The handled toothbrushes, manual and electric, can become grimy with residue from toothpaste, etc. I use vinegar, my favorite cleaner, to wipe the surface. A toothpick can be used to clean the unreachable areas of an electric-toothbrush grip. Make certain all electric appliances are unplugged while cleaning them. — Margarette in Texas

HOROSCOPE BY FRANCES DRAKE For Sunday, Dec. 9, 2012 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) No matter how sympathetic you feel toward others, be careful today. You might be tempted to give away the farm. Remember: True generosity is giving what is needed. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) This is a lovely day for important discussions with partners and close friends because people feel mutually sympathetic to each other. That’s why it will be easy to reach an agreement. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Co-workers and people connected with your job will be surprisingly supportive today. Accept this, and offer your own support to them in return. What goes around comes around. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Romance is very sweet and affectionate today. Your idealism is aroused, which means you might put someone up on a pedestal. (It’s probably temporary, but it’s kinda fun.) LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Discussions with female relatives will be gentle and affectionate today. Someone might need you to listen. It’s a small thing, yet so important, isn’t it? VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Because your imagination is heightened today, this is a great day for those of you who are working in creative fields. Nevertheless, imagination is important in many areas of life. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Be careful about major expenditures today, because you might be tempted by luxury and elegance. Why not give things a sober second thought? SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Today you feel kindhearted to everyone you meet. They, in turn, will be friendly to you because generally, the attitude of one person triggers the same in another. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) There is a difference between self-sacrifice and martyrdom. Don’t be a doormat for others if you’re concerned about their misfortunes. Stay strong so that you can help them. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Your connection with a female authority figure will help you today. This person feels sympathetic to your needs and could promote something that benefits you financially in the future. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) People view you as being sympathetic and helpful today. This is never a bad thing because kindness is the most important quality. In fact, it’s a wonderful thing to cultivate. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Because your appreciation of beauty is heightened today, visit beautiful places! Go to parks, art galleries, gorgeous architectural buildings and museums. YOU BORN TODAY You are dramatic, powerful and romantic. Your imagination and sense of theatricality create a world in which you fiercely protect your loved ones. No matter what your job, you fantasize about achieving bold exploits. Personally, you are private and very sensitive. In the year ahead, something you’ve been involved with for about nine years will end or diminish to make room for something new.

TODAY IN HISTORY (AP) — Today is Saturday, Dec. 8, the 343rd day of 2012. There are 23 days left in the year. The Jewish Festival of Lights, Hanukkah, begins at sunset. Today’s Highlight: On Dec. 8, 1941, the United States entered World War II as Congress declared war against Japan, a day after the attack on Pearl Harbor. On this date: In 1854, Pope Pius IX proclaimed the Catholic dogma of the Immaculate Conception,

which holds that Mary, the mother of Jesus, was free of original sin from the moment of her own conception. In 1914, “Watch Your Step,” the first musical revue to feature a score composed entirely by Irving Berlin, opened in New York. In 1980, rock star John Lennon was shot to death outside his New York City apartment building by an apparently deranged fan. In 1987, President Ronald Reagan and Soviet leader Mikhail

UN climate talks go into overtime in Qatar DOHA, Qatar (AP) — The world’s poorest countries, inundated by rising seas and worsening disasters, made a last ditch plea for financial help early today as negotiators at United Nations climate talks struggled to reach an ambitious deal to combat global warming. The two-week U.N. conference in the Qatar capital of Doha was never meant to yield a global climate pact to curb emissions of greenhouse gases that has been put off until 2015. But many developing nations said they were increasingly frustrated with the lack of ambition from rich countries on everything from climate aid to the emissions cuts they will make until 2020. Talks were set to end

Friday but they continued into early today with negotiators set to meet in several hours to assess progress. “The expectations we had for a great deal in Doha is no more. That is dust,” said Mohammed Chowdhury, a Bangladeshi who is a lead negotiator for a coalition of poor nations called the Least Developed Countries or LCD. “We are facing day in and day out the adverse effects of climate change,” he said. “Nobody is nearby to rescue them. You see President Obama asking for huge funding for Hurricane Sandy … But we won’t get that scale and magnitude of support.” The biggest fight swirled around what is called “loss and damage,” a relatively

new concept which relates to damages from climate-related disasters. Island nations and LCD have been pushing for some mechanism to deal with this but the United States has pushed back over concerns they might be held liable for the cleanup bill since they are the world’s second biggest emitter behind China. Many scientists say extreme weather events, such as Hurricane Sandy’s onslaught on the U.S. East Coast, will become more frequent as the Earth warms, although it is impossible to attribute any individual event to climate change. “It’s becoming the last straw for the small island states, the least developed countries,” said Alden Meyer, of the U.S.-based Union of Concerned Scientists. “Seasoned negotiators are coming out of that room in tears, very emotional. They are starting to say what are we doing here? What is the point of these negotiations?” And with the negotiations on the brink of failure, activists said they were giving up hope that any deal would include tough measures to protect the planet from the effects of global warming.

Beavercreek fought back to tie things up early on. But the Trojans know how to put games away. Troy (5-4) scored eight unanswered goals in the final 16:30 of Friday’s home opener, pulling away for a 10-2 victory on Senior Night at Hobart Arena. “We played very well, especially late in the second and

throughout the third period,” Troy coach Larrell Walters said. Senior Brandon Beaty scored five goals and Alex Smith added three. Senior Logan Titterington had a goal and two assists, Jake Uhlenbrock had a goal and an assist, Clay Terrill, Evan Spahr and Will Schober had three assists apiece and Mason Hagen had one assist.

Shopping for a ‘W’ Hot-and-cold Trojans fall to 0-4, lose to Lebanon

The Milton-Union Bulldogs took a more literal approach to defending their home court Friday night. Even first-year coach Rusty Berner got involved in the action. At times, he could be seen doing what appeared to be doing defensive slides on the sideline.

BY JOSH BROWN Sports Editor jbrown@tdnpublishing.com Troy coach Tim Miller’s Christmas list is short. One complete game from his Trojans. “That would be a fair assessment, and that’s what these guys have got to figure out,” Miller said. After keeping pace early, nine second-quarter turnovers put Troy into a significant hole. And although the Trojan defense held Lebanon to only three points in the third quarter, they only managed to score six themTROY selves and could never put everything together at one time to mount a legitimate rally, falling to 0-4 after a 49-34 loss to the Warriors Friday at the Trojan Activities Center.

Vols hire Cincy’s Jones as coach Plenty at stake for Army, Navy

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Butch Jones wasn’t Tennessee’s first choice as its next football coach. The Volunteers believe the former Cincinnati coach will prove he’s the right choice. Tennessee introduced Jones on Friday as its successor to Derek Dooley, who was fired Nov. 18 after going 15-21 in three seasons. Jones becomes the Volunteers’ fourth coach in six seasons, ending a tumultuous couple of days for both parties. The new Vols coach said he was taking over “the best college football program in America.” “We’ll be working to be

champions each and every day,” Jones said. “We will be a champion in everything we do. That’s not only on the field but off the field.” Jones, 44, has a 50-27 record in six seasons as a head coach. He went 27-13 in three seasons at Central Michigan and was 23-14 at Cincinnati the last three years. He now faces the task of rebuilding a former Southeastern Conference power that has posted three consecutive losing seasons. Tennessee went after at least two other candidates before hiring Jones. During the 19-day search to replace Dooley, the Volunteers contacted

ESPN analyst and former S u p e r Bowl-winning coach J o n Gruden, who indicated he wa s n ’ t JONES interested. The Vols then pursued Charlie Strong, who said Thursday he had turned down their offer and would stay at Louisville. “Rarely in life is anything exactly what it seems to be,” Tennessee athletic director Dave Hart said.

“Life doesn’t throw us all fastballs. It throws us curves, and then you’ve got some screwballs. … You’ve got to be able to adjust.” Jones, meanwhile, was apparently waiting for a job like Tennessee. On the same day Strong made his announcement, Jones rejected an offer to take over Colorado’s program. He also had been linked to the Purdue coaching job before withdrawing his name from consideration. Jones jumped at the Tennessee offer. He called it his dream job and didn’t particularly care that he wasn’t the Vols’ first choice.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Army’s Jarrett Mackey hears the same order each day he walks around the barracks at West Point. Beat Navy and bring home the coveted Commander-in-Chief ’s Trophy. “Every single time I pass them, it’s, ‘ArmyNavy. CIC. Let’s go,’” Mackey said. “I wouldn’t say it puts more pressure on us, but it’s time. Let’s do this. We almost need to do it. We’ve got to get out there and get the win. It’s been way too long.” Try 11 years. The Army-Navy series is not only the most patriotic rivalry in sports, it’s turned into one of the most one-sided. Navy has won 10 straight, doubling the previous winning streak of either team in a series that stretches back to 1890. It only seems like the Black Knights haven’t won in 122 years. Army last beat Navy in 2001 at Veterans Stadium. The Vet has since been toppled. So has Army’s all-time lead in the series. Mackey, a junior defensive end, wants so badly to be part of the class that ends the Middies’ dominance. That alone, is incentive enough. But for the first time in nearly two decades, there is more on the line than just bragging rights. Winning this game usually makes a season, but this one would mean more than most. The win-

ner Saturday leaves Lincoln Financial Field with the Commander-inChief’s trophy, awarded to the team with the best record in games among the three service academies. Army and Navy each defeated Air Force, putting the prestigious trophy up for grabs in the regularseason finale for the first time since 2005. Army (29) hasn’t hoisted the CIC trophy since 1996. Navy (7-4) won it a school-record seven straight seasons through 2009 before giving way Air Force the last two seasons. “We didn’t win much, but we won just enough to bring a little extra drama to this game,” Army coach Rich Ellerson said. “From the moment these guys got to West Point, every building and everybody’s front door says, ‘Beat Navy’ and ‘Beat Air Force.’ There is so much on the table for them.” Billed as “America’s Game,” the Linc will be stuffed with Cadets and Midshipmen standing, bouncing and cheering the entire game. Beating Army has become an annual tradition for Navy. None of the Mids want to be associated with a team that ended the streak. “They’re getting closer and closer,” Navy linebacker Brye French said. “The 10 wins have been awesome. But this year is even bigger than all those because it actually means something with the CIC.”

Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te’o, left, and Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel, two of the three Heisman Trophy finalists, pose with the Heisman Trophy during a media availability Friday in New York.

High hopes in Manhattan Te’o and Manziel arrive amid media frenzy NEW YORK (AP) — Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te’o was looking forward to a break after a fivecity-in-five-days tour, during which he has become the most decorated player in college football. “I’m just trying to get a workout in and get some sleep,” he said Friday about his plans for the night. Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel seemed to have more energy when he arrived at a midtown Manhattan hotel with his fellow Heisman Trophy finalist. In fairness, Johnny Football’s week hasn’t been nearly as hectic, though this trip to New York city is different from the first time he visited with his family when he was young. “It’s just taking it up a whole ‘nother level, but happy to be here,” he said. Manziel and Te’o spent about 30 minutes getting grilled by dozens of reporters in a cramped conference room, posed for some pictures with the big bronze statue that they are hoping to win and were quickly whisked away for more interviews and photo opportunities.

Manziel, Te’o or Collin Klein, the other finalists who couldn’t make it to town Friday, each has a chance to be a Heisman first Saturday night. Manziel is trying to be the first freshman to win the award. Te’o would be the first winner to play only defense. Klein would be Kansas State’s first Heisman winner. Manziel and Te’o were on the same flight from Orlando, Fla., where several college football awards were handed out last night. The 6-foot-1, 200-pound quarterback was just happy the 255-pound linebacker didn’t try to record another sack when they met. “He’s a big guy,” Manziel said, flashing a big smile from under his white Texas A&M baseball cap. “I thought he might stuff me in locker and beat me up a little bit.” The two hadn’t had much time for sightseeing yet, but they did walk around Times Square some, saying hello to a few fans. They probably weren’t too difficult to spot in their team issued warmup gear. “We’ve just been talking

about goofy stuff. Playing video games. Playing Galaga. Just some things from back in the day. Messing around with each other,” Manziel said. “Kind of seeing who is going to take more pictures. He’s definitely taking that award right now.” Te’o is already going to need a huge trophy case to house his haul from this week. He has won six major awards, including the Maxwell as national player of the year. He’ll try to become Notre Dame’s eighth Heisman winner and first since Tim Brown in 1987. “I can only imagine how I would feel if I win the Heisman,” he said. Charles Woodson of Michigan in 1997 is the closest thing to a true defensive player winning the Heisman. Woodson was a dominant cornerback, but he also returned punts and played a little receiver. That helped burnish his Heisman credentials. Te’o is all linebacker. He leads the top-ranked Fighting Irish with 103 tackles and seven interceptions. Klein was the front-run-

ner for the Heisman for a good chunk of the season, but he played his worst game late in the season in a loss at Baylor and the momentum Manziel gained by leading Texas A&M to victory at Alabama has been tough to stop. Manziel’s numbers are hard to deny. He set a Southeastern Conference record with 4,600 total yards, throwing for more than 3,000 and rushing for more than 1,000. Klein, by comparison, averages about 100 fewer total yards per game (383281) than Manziel. A freshman has never won the Heisman. Oklahoma running back Adrian Peterson came closest in 2004, finishing second by Southern California’s Matt Leinart. Manziel is a redshirt freshman, meaning he attended Texas A&M and practiced with the team but did not play last year. Still, he’d be the most inexperienced college player to win the award. “It’s surreal for me to sit here and think about that this early in my career,” he said.

Browns’ Cribbs not in favor of banning kickoffs BEREA (AP) — Kickoffs have defined Josh Cribbs’ career in the NFL, and made him an invaluable weapon for the Cleveland Browns. So the thought of the league abolishing the exciting play irritates the return specialist. “They need to call it a different league if they do that,” Cribbs said. “It’ll change the game drastically.” Earlier this week, Commissioner Roger Goodell said the league’s competition committee will consider eliminating kickoffs in the offseason. In an effort to reduce head injuries and protect players, the league previously moved the kickoff from the 30 to 35-yard line to cut down on violent collisions. Tampa Bay coach Greg Schiano has suggested that instead of kickoffs, teams would have the option of punting from the 30-yard line and going for a first down in a fourthand-15 situation. While he coached at Rutgers, Schiano witnessed one of his players, Eric LeGrand, get paralyzed on a kickoff in 2010. Goodell has called Schiano’s idea “interest-

ing.” Browns kicker Phil Dawson believes it’s illogical. “I’m all for player safety,” said Dawson, in his 14th season with Cleveland. “I do think the NFL has done a good job in the past like with the wedge rule. This suggestion doesn’t add up. It doesn’t address what they say the dangers are because punts are just as violent. There aren’t going to be any touchbacks. How many times have you seen a punt returner waiting for the ball to come down and the gunner just kills him? “It doesn’t make sense to me.” Cribbs, who shares the league record (8) for kickoff return touchdowns with Seattle’s Leon Washington, can’t envision the game he has played since he was a kid not having kickoffs. “I couldn’t ever see that,” said Cribbs, sixth on the career kickoff yardage list. “That’s like taking the goal post out of the stadium, taking the whole post and uprooting it. Only play offense and defense, just like intramurals. Then play indoors and put flags in our pants.”

Crosby mulling options as lockout drags on CANONSBURG, Pa. (AP) — Sidney Crosby just wants to get back to work. At this point, where he takes the ice hardly matters. The Pittsburgh Penguins star said Friday the prospect of lacing up his skates in Europe is growing more appealing as the NHL lockout nears the three-month mark. The latest round of talks between owners and players broke down Thursday night, leaving Crosby “disappointed” and considering other opportunities.

“I just want to play hockey,” Crosby told reporters after an informal workout with some of his teammates on Friday morning. “As far as whatever option is best there, I’ll start thinking of it a lot more because this stuff is getting ridiculous.” Crosby spent three days in New York this week as part of the negotiations and felt progress was being made until NHL commissioner Gary Bettman shot down any growing optimism during an emotionally charged press confer-

ence in which the commissioner scoffed at the idea the sides were close to a deal. With no deal in the works, Crosby ended up taking a late-night flight back to Pittsburgh wondering what else the players could have done to move things along. “I think we knew what the issues were and we moved on those,” Crosby said. “I think if it’s the case there like Gary said in his press conference, where they’re going to draw a line in the sand, just say that,

don’t waste guys’ times there.” The lockout has become another setback in a maddening two years for the game’s most popular player. The 2007 NHL MVP and 2010 Olympic gold medalist has been limited to just 28 games since January 2011 due to a series of debilitating concussions. He’s healthy now and signed a 12-year contract extension last summer that would keep him in Pittsburgh until his late-30s. Yet instead of focusing

on getting the Penguins back to the Stanley Cup, Crosby has spent the last three months trying to help salvage at least part of the season. All games through Dec. 14, along with the New Year’s Day Winter Classic and the AllStar game, have been canceled. The last NHL lockout resulted in the 2004-05 season getting wiped out. “The foundation (for a deal) is there and I don’t think we can move any more,” Crosby said. “We’ve done everything from our side to make this work”

Though any foreign team that signs Crosby would also have to take out an expensive insurance policy, Crosby maintains playing overseas — where dozens of NHL players are keeping sharp, including Penguins teammate Evgeni Malkin — is a “practical” alternative. “I think I’ve tried to be optimistic and things like that and given it every chance possible,” Crosby said. “But I’ve got to make sure I keep playing hockey. I haven’t played for awhile.”

We take plays off on the offensive end. And tonight, we settled a lot. “We have flashes, but we don’t sustain. We have these peaks and valleys where we’ll go on a little run but then we’ll let the other team have one right back.” Early in the second, Troy made a brief run to pull ahead. Dylan Cascaden intercepted an errant pass and layed it in to make it 14-13, then a Tre Hudson putback gave the Trojans their only lead of the game at 15-14. Lebanon scored the the next 12 points as Troy simply couldn’t hold onto the basketball thanks to five steals by Bradd Ellis, including Ellis taking the ball right out of a Trojan’s hands after he caught an in-bounds pass and going for a layup to make it 2615. And with leading scorer Tyler Miller going completely empty from the field for the night — he hit two free throws with 6:10 left in the game for his only two points of the game — the Troy offense simply didn’t have the punch to fight back. “I feel bad for him.

The Bulldogs, though, closed the quarter on a 52 run to make it a 15-11 score at half. “Everything they got in the first half they really had to work for, and some of their shots were good shots that we wanted them to take, but they went in,” Berner said. “The biggest thing was defense. Not every night we are going to shoot great, but there’s no reason we can’t come out and defend.” Early in the third, Milton went up eight points after two buckets by Albaugh and a fourpoint play by Ben Stelzer — who hit two 3s in the game and finished with 11 points. Then following that, the game quickly turned into the Albaugh vs. Owens show. For the second time in the game, Owens dumped in six consecutive points to cut the Madison deficit to 26-24 with just two minutes remaining in the quarter. But by quarter’s end, Albaugh had poured in 12 points in the quarter compared to Owens 11, giving the Bulldogs a 3326 lead heading to the fourth.

Vikings, Eagles ride hot starts MIAMI COUNTY

LEWISBURG —Miami East coach Allen Mack hoped the way his Vikings began their first two games was just a passing fad. “We had two first quarters where we were either tied or behind by three. We didn’t want that to be a trend,” he said. So Friday night, the Vikings (3-0, 1-0 Cross County Conference) went on an 18-2 run during the first eight minutes, putting away Tri-County North early in a 61-28 victory. “That (the defense in the first quarter) really set the tone for the night, and we followed that up with a great defensive night overall,” Mack said. And Luke House had a huge night offensively, exploding for a career-high 25 points and adding seven rebounds. Garrett Mitchell had 18 points, six rebounds and two steals and A.J. Hickman had 13 points, three steals and three assists. Miami East travels to National Trail Dec. 14.

“No.” The Eagle defense held a potent Yellow Springs team in check from the getgo, pulling ahead for an 11point first-quarter lead en route to a 67-47 Metro Buckeye Conference victory Friday night. “Right from the start, our defensive intensity said ‘No. We’re not going to let you do anything you want to do,’” Troy Christian coach Ray Zawadzki said. “And our seniors Nathan Kirkpatrick and Christian Salazar were big for us tonight. They’ve won 23 of their last 24 league contests, and they know what it takes to be succesful. “Anytime you can beat the No. 3 team in your area, that’s a great win for your program.” Kirkpatrick led the Eagles (1-1, 1-0 MBC) with 16 points, Salazar added 14 and Grant Zawadzki had 11 points and eight assists.

Staff Reports

talk about him being an xfactor because he’s so versatile. He can step out and shoot it. He can guard. So him getting the confidence, knocking down some shots was key. I mean, he’s missed a few days of school. He’s been sick all week.

The Mohawks cut the lead to six at one point, but it was too little, too late. Owens was the only Madison player in double figures with 18. He accounted for seven out of 11 Madison field goals in the game. Milton (1-0) plays at Tippecanoe (3-0) tonight.

Whether posting or responding to an advertisement, watch out for offers to pay more than the advertised price for the item. Scammers will send a check and ask the seller to wire the excess through Western Union (possibly for courier fees). The scammer's check is and eventually fake bounces and the seller loses the wired amount. While banks and Western branches are Union trained at spotting fake checks, these types of scams are growing increasingly sophisticated and fake checks often aren't caught for weeks. Funds wired through Western Union or MoneyGram are irretrievable and virtually untraceable.
