Ryan Braun certainly doesn’t fit the image fans conjure up when they hear that a baseball slugger has been accused of using performanceenhancing drugs. Since he joined the Milwaukee Brewers in 2007, Braun has belted big home runs not with cartoonishly large muscles, but with a sweet swing and an ultra-quick bat. Last season, he helped drive the Brewers to the playoffs and was voted the NL’s Most Valuable Player. Now Braun finds himself fighting a 50-game suspension after news leaked that he has tested positive for a banned substance. He steadfastly maintains his innocence. See page 15.

River flooding getting worse Flooding along the Cache River in Craighead, Lawrence and Jackson counties seems to be getting worse and more frequent, according to farmers and a state official. A logjam has blocked the Cache south of Grubbs for nearly half a century, but a Bonoarea farmer said that’s not the whole problem. Cleo Watkins Jr. said Friday that further north in Greene and Clay counties and into Missouri, the Cache has been dredged or channeled, allowing water to flow down the river more rapidly until it reaches Craighead County, where it starts to drift out onto the countryside.

Pastor Chris Daum talks about the True Life Community Church, which holds its services in a former banquet center of the Quality Inn in Troy.
Pastor follows calling Begins a church in hometown BY RON OSBURN Staff Writer rosburn@tdnpublishing.com
TROY
Some people struggle with deciding what they want to be in life. Chris Daum knew at an early age he wanted to be a pastor. “When I was just a kid, I’d drive down to Cincinnati with my Dad when he was attending the Cincinnati Bible Seminary. I decided then, at 9 years old, that (being a pastor) was what I wanted to do,” Daum, now, 41, said last week. Chris first moved to Troy in 1979 when his father, David Daum, began a decade of service as pastor of Troy Christian Church. He said he developed a unique and lasting attachment to the Troy community and knew he’d return to the area, even as he followed
a 13-year journey of church service that over the years took him to northeast Ohio, Florida and Indianapolis. “I’ve always had a vision in my heart from my early 20s to have a church in Troy,” he said. An important part of the vision, he said, was a church that “was more than just a religious organization, but a church that reaches out and changes our community for the better by truly being a part of our community.” After eight years in Indianapolis, Daum served for about a year at Ginghamsburg Church in Tipp City. In May, he became lead pastor of Heartland Church, located on Lincoln Avenue in a

Less than three months later, in early August, Daum was informed that due to circumstances beyond its control, the church had to relocate — by the end of the month. He told the
congregation at services in late August that the church had eight days to move and asked that anyone who wanted to help to return that afternoon. “I had no idea if anyone would show up. But that afternoon, to my • See CALLING on Page 2
NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. online sales in the holiday season to date are up 15 percent to $24.6 billion, according to comScore. The research firm said Sunday sales on six individual days during the first 39 days of the November-to-December shopping season have exceeded $1 billion, led by Cyber Monday, the Monday after Thanksgiving, when sales hit $1.25 billion. Sales in the most recent week ended Dec. 9 rose 15 percent to $5.9 billion, the Reston, Va., company said. “As we enter what will be the heaviest week of the season for online retailers beginning with ‘Green Monday’ on Dec. 12 all signs are now pointing to a strong finish to the season,” comScore Chairman Gian Fulgoni said. Over the past six years, “Green Monday” a term coined by eBay Inc. and traditionally the second Monday of December has consistently ranked among the top spending days of the season, although it is no longer the top online spending day. Fulgoni said a possible reason for that change is the emergence of “Free Shipping Day,” which occurs on Friday, Dec. 16 this year. “Online spending during the heaviest week of the season is being more evenly distributed throughout the week, whereas in the past there was a much higher concentration of spending during the early part of the week.”

was judging him on his performance as president. “I’m being judged against the ideal,” he said. “Joe Biden has a good expression. He says, ‘Don’t judge me against the Almighty, judge me against the alternative.’” Obama predicted the fight to the Republican nomination won’t be resolved quickly. “I think that they will be going at it for a while,” he said. He described both of the top GOP candidates, Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney, as political fixtures. Of Gingrich he said: “He’s somebody who’s been around a
long time, and is good on TV, is good in debates.” “But Mitt Romney has shown himself to be somebody who’s … who’s good at politics, as well,” he said. “He’s had a lot of practice at it.” Obama is counting on voters giving him credit for avoiding a second Great Depression, bailing out the auto industry and passing a signature health care law even while acknowledging that the public is hardly satisfied with the direction of the country. He also listed such achievements as ending the Pentagon’s policy of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” for gay service members and the elimination of Osama bin Laden
and other top al Qaida leaders. “But when it comes to the economy, we’ve got a lot more work to do,” he conceded. He rejected Republican criticism that his economic policies amount to class warfare, saying he is simply trying to restore an “American deal” that focuses on building a strong middle class. In a major speech in Osawatomie, Kan., this week, Obama argued that even before the recent recession hit, Americans at the top of the income scale grew wealthier while others struggled and racked up debt. He also has called for spending on jobs initiatives and for an
extension of a payroll tax cut that would be paid for by increasing taxes on taxpayers who make $1 million or more. “There are going to be people who say, ‘This is the socialist Obama and he’s come out of the closet,’” Obama said. But he added: “The problem is that our politics has gotten to the point, where we can’t have an honest conversation about the greatest income inequality since the 1920s. And we can’t have an honest conversation about the irresponsibility that resulted in the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression, without somebody saying that somehow we’re being divisive.”

Even before Kasich took office in January, his team worked on a strategy to exploit the energy riches embedded in the Marcellus and deeper Utica shale formations under eastern Ohio. He’s taken his welcome message directly to Chevron, Exxon Mobil, Shell and Chesapeake, and in April, Ohio opened its parks and other public lands to drilling as part of the push. The state issued a single permit for drilling in the Utica Shale in 2009, and two permits in 2010. As of Dec. 4, 131 permits were issued this year, records showed. A similar trend is occurring in the state’s less pervasive Marcellus Shale deposits, where six permits were issued between 2006 and 2010, and 10 have been issued this year. A combined 87 of those permits are for hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, a drilling technique where

chemical-laced water is blasted into the ground to break the shale and free oil and gas. Twenty such wells have been drilled. Kasich said he is pursuing regulations that protect residents, public health and the environment while encouraging business growth, and he’s warned companies that destroying Ohio’s environment is not an option. “We want to make sure we get this right,” he said. “We can’t have wildcatters just coming in here and stripping us of what we have in the state and leaving.” Ohio residents like Tish O’Dell of the Cleveland suburb of Broadview Heights are skeptical. O’Dell said many of her neighbors were vulnerable to deals offered by lease buyers, known as landmen, because of the down economy. One woman, she said, had no idea such destruction would occur. “One day, they started clearing trees behind her house,” O’Dell said. “She looks out her kitchen window and all she sees is these three wells. This was going to be her dream home.” Some people are trying to form a group they’ll call Mothers Against Drilling in Our Neighborhoods to organize protests and raise awareness , O’Dell said. The 86 traditional wells now permitted in the 13 square miles community have meant clogged roads, downed trees, spoiled views and environmental worries for Broadview Heights’ roughly 17,000 residents. 2235115

amazement, almost everyone (in the congregation) showed back up. In about six hours, we moved most of the church to a storage location,” he said. “We didn’t even know where we would meet the next Sunday, but we are people of faith and we trusted God to provide,” said Daum, still moved and shaking his head as he recalled those events. PERFECT PLAN Daum said he and church members contacted other local churches, schools and businesses in search of a new home, but found nothing that would work. In a last bit of desperation, the church called the Quality Inn, on West Market Street at Interstate 75, to rent their banquet room for the following Sunday services. Daum said Quality Inn owner Robert Patel welcomed the church for services that Sunday and in the days before and after those services, he and Patel agreed on a lease agreement for the use of the banquet room, the unused bar area and an adjacent small meeting room — essentially the entire western wing of the motel. “It’s really interesting to me how God works out his perfect plan. What we thought was a temporary fix has now become our home,” Daum said with a grin, sitting in the former motel bar, that ironically, is now the church youth group meeting room. Daum said virtually all of the approximately 125 church members followed the relocation and he said the new location has provided a unique opportunity to rename the church — it is now True Life Community Church — refocus the church on its mission and reintroduce

True Life Community Church, Daum said, is “striving to become the kind of church described in the Bible, where there’s relevant teaching, heart-felt worship, honest friendships, constant prayer and compassionate care for those in need. “It’s a place that’s open to people of all backgrounds, regardless of where they are on their spiritual journey,” said Daum, who’s married to wife Michelle. They have three school-age sons. To reintroduce the renamed church to the community, the members have launched a 13-week rebranding campaign. They have contacted local media and blanketed the community with door hangers, inviting residents to the church’s Christmas Eve services. And for Daum, it’s especially exciting because his vision is becoming reality — to return to Troy and shepherd a church devoted to spiritual growth and community service. “Troy holds so many good memories for me and my family and it’s my hope that as I lead True Life Community Church that it will be a part of the foundation for the future of Troy and its citizens,” he said.

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
ANAYLSIS
Myanmar gets the respect it craves BANGKOK (AP) — U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton’s groundbreaking visit to Myanmar offers its military leaders something that’s eluded them during decades of iron-fisted rule a little respect from the West. The country’s nominally civilian but military-aligned government may also be seeking self-preservation and avoidance of an Arab Springstyle uprising with its surprising recent political and economic reforms. Clinton’s visit beginning Wednesday signals international recognition of those reforms and could open a new era of friendlier relations. Just six years ago, one of Clinton’s predecessors listed Myanmar among the “outposts of tyranny.” Washington shunned and sanctioned the country after its bloody crackdown on a pro-democracy uprising in 1988, refusing even to call it by its preferred name, Myanmar sticking instead with the colonial-era Burma. In part, Clinton’s historic journey is a culmination of behind-thescenes overtures since a newly elected President Barack Obama told the world’s despotic regimes in 2009 that the “U.S. will extend a hand if you are willing to unclench your fist.” Since then, Myanmar has released pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi from house arrest, and its recently elected government has opened a dialogue with her, giving Washington just enough opening to re-engage. The generals, eager to avoid the kinds of chaotic uprisings faced by authoritarian leaders in the Middle East and hopeful of new friendships as a counterweight to their reliance on China, have lowered their profile and loosened their control over the country. They have opened up the economy after 25 years of disastrously quirky socialist rule, overhauled an antiquated infrastructure, implemented a new constitution and reached cease-fire agreements with more than a dozen fractious ethnic minority groups, although some groups continue to fight. Analysts say the generals want some credit for these gestures. They want U.S. sanctions lifted so they can keep pace with a changing world, get the international respect they feel is their due and be allowed to send their children to American universities. “They do feel that they are in such a solid position that they can begin to do things that they could not do before,” said David Steinberg, director of Asian Studies at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C. The United States hopes the carrot of improved relations will encourage Myanmar’s new government to continue the reforms and ultimately restore true democratic rule. Steinberg and Maung Zarni, a longtime exiled activist who is a visiting fellow at the London School of Economics, agree that the Arab Spring may have put the generals on notice that managed change may be their best bet for survival. They must also be seeing the political churning going on in virtual one-party states such as Malaysia and Singapore as a bad omen. “First and foremost what drives the reforms is the military’s desire to maintain its primacy in a way that is more acceptable to the regional and international community,” said Maung Zarni. The U.S. withdrew its ambassador and stopped all aid after the military, in power since 1962, brutally put down a 1988 pro-democracy uprising that left hundreds dead. The battle lines firmed when the generals locked up Suu Kyi in 1989 and nullified an election that her National League for Democracy party won handily in 1990. However, with huge natural gas reserves, the junta wasn’t short of friends, and neighboring China never one to fuss about human rights moved in to provide aid and diplomatic cover.
EDITORIAL ROUNDUP The Durango (Colo.) Herald on Herman Cain: Even without the scandals, Herman Cain probably was not going to be elected president. He was too much of an outsider, his campaign was too long a shot and the Republican field was too crowded. Nonetheless, his experience has lessons both for candidates and the American public. A man astute enough to be president should have expected his secrets to be revealed. After his 15 golden minutes of fame, Cain should not have been surprised when the attacks began. That is the nature of big-league politics in this country, and Cain cannot claim that his party is
innocent of making it so … Regardless of whether the allegations were true, the sexual harassment settlements were fact, and if the women had not come forward, either an opponent or the press would have discovered them Still, those were not un-survivable mistakes, if Cain had handled them differently. Newt Gingrich, who has risen from the bottom of the large heap of GOP candidates despite early dysfunction in his campaign, has brazened out criticism of his marital and extramarital history. Cain’s problems added up, though. He managed to lose
track of Libya. His 9-9-9 plan was attractive to many because of its simplicity and its promise of lower taxes, but he did not explain it convincingly. Instead, he responded to legitimate questions by pointing fingers at other GOP candidates, Democrats, the media. In some ways, he was right, but voters do not want to hear a candidate say, “It’s someone else’s fault that I’m not the candidate you want me to be.” They do not want a chief executive who paints himself as a victim. They want one who will take charge, right wrongs and fix Washington. Online:

DOONESBURY
Signs designed to make you lose your mind For all this talk of small government, there sure are a lot of rules. With all due respect to PETA, it seems as though you can’t swing a dead cat without smacking into some sort of new regulation. Come to think of it, there is a good probability that somewhere there exists a regulation against swinging a dead anything, even in the privacy of your own ruleladen home. We speak not of the “good” rules, of course. You must stop at red lights and stop signs. Good rule or not, compliance with that one is a little iffy because it has become the norm for cars and trucks to sail through intersections when the light is well past yellow and definitely on its way to a deep pink. It’s also considered bad form to commit murder although I have a friend who would like to amend this. He feels as though there are so many stupid and irritating people in the world that he and a select other few ought to be allowed to do away with five of the most annoying folks they encounter every year. Then it wouldn’t be murder; it would be a mercy killing for the sake of the gene pool. The guy who runs the red light in front of you, for instance, would be fair game. No rule yet about how we choose those select few. But where did all these other (and
Marla Boone Troy Daily News Columnist by “other” I mean “dumb”) rules come from? We spent part of last winter in Florida. The neighborhood clubhouse might have needed an interior paint job but no one will ever know because the walls were plastered with instructive signs. Years ago, The Five Man Electrical Band recorded a song called “Signs.” The artists sang a lament against the proliferation of signage that displayed the world’s biases. Let me tell you Five Men, I feel your pain. The hand-lettered missives in the clubhouse contained such pearls as “Do not use broken equipment.” and “Report broken equipment.” The exercise room was, naturally, rife with broken equipment. After a few weeks
of watching these signs wilt in the humidity there appeared, almost inevitably, a “Please fix broken equipment” sign. Other guidelines directed us to replace what we used, move the weights on the scale back to the left, fold all chairs, align tables, get the approval of the club manager to hang signs (The poor man must have done nothing else although judging by the sheer number of signs, it’s hard to believe even one of those that were proposed missed the cut.), not to let our bingo markers stain the tables, and not to hold block parties because that was what the clubhouse was for. One of the most interesting aspects of all this sign-hanging and rule-making was the overwhelming majority of, shall we say, ultra-conservative political leanings in the community. If the walls hadn’t been covered with “don’t” signs, they could have done the job with their “NoBama” bumper stickers. Now these are the folks who rail mightily against too much government and too much regulation, but here they were governing and regulating themselves to the point of paralysis. They had rules about what time you could put your trash out and what mil trash bags you had to use. Alligators were not to be fed (Duh!), cats were not to be outdoors, dogs over thirty pounds were not to be
owned, and at no time could you walk your dog inside the community proper. Don’t, don’t, don’t. Maybe they were concerned the alligators would eat the dogs, but it all seemed designed (no pun intended) to remove every vestige of common sense from common living. You just don’t see this sort of thing in other countries. The French and the Mexicans and the Canadians and legions of other nationalities know that docks are slippery when wet. Absent dire warnings in 10-inch red exclamation-pointed letters, they realize you should not let your twoyear-old stick his head between the balcony posts and they assume you are smart enough not to stand on those same posts. Without its being harped upon, in other countries the citizenry somehow innately senses you should not dive into the shallow end of the pool. Why, they even seem to grasp the concept that steaming hot coffee is, you know, hot. There is such a thing as being cautious and such a thing as being over-cautious. Then there is such a thing as being teeth-achingly stupid. And we surely don’t want this because my friend will put you on his list.

Needle felting is like a tattoo for a mitten — it uses a sharp barbed needle that fuses another layer of fabric onto the base fabric to make a picture. For a silver-dollar size design, it may take over 1,000 pricks of the needle. After the needle felting, the cuffs get ironed again before they’re ready to go. Chapman’s children have been bitten by the knitting bug as well. 7-year-old Rose and 10-year-old Cora help their mother operate the knitting machine and are experimenting with needle felting. At the most recent art show Chapman attended, her daughters’ work was available for sale right beside her mother’s. Chapman has many in-stock items already that can be used for ready-made Christmas gifts. She offers bags, hats, scarves, mittens, and even bowls. “I don’t want to get bored with it,” Chapman declared, “I do enough different things to keep it fresh.” For custom work, Christmas gifts would need to be ordered before Dec. 18.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX
Decide if you can live with husband’s mistakes Dear Annie: I married "Henry" five years ago. It was my second marriage and his third. Henry thinks he is easy to get along with, but I find it difficult to communicate with him. If he doesn't like what you say, you are wrong. Last year, Henry had an affair, and we went for counseling. He claims I forced him into the affair because I didn't give him enough affection. However, one night he casually mentioned that he also had cheated on his second wife. Even after months of counseling, he didn't change his thinking. He stopped seeing the counselor because he would simply sit there and comment about how I won't change. I've told him it takes two, but Henry thinks he's fine as is. Henry has some erectile dysfunction issues for which he takes medication, and I continue to see the counselor for my own issues. I do love my husband, but find it difficult to trust him, especially since he still considers the Other Woman a friend. I want to have a normal marriage, but I cannot get him to bend just a little more to be a real participant. Do you have any advice for me? — Just Plain Lonely Dear Lonely: Even someone you love isn't necessarily marriage material. A man who cannot be faithful, who insists that he is always right and who refuses to take the necessary steps to work on a relationship is not a good bet for a lasting future. Henry has made it clear that he is not going to change. You must decide if you can live with him the way he is or if you are better off without him. We're glad you are still seeing your counselor. This is one of the issues you can discuss. Dear Annie: My older sister devotes Sundays to father-daughter time. She phones Dad to let him know what the plans are, but my father never passes the word to me, and neither does my sister. According to her, it's "understood" that I'm invited, but I don't feel comfortable inviting myself. One time when I decided to join them, I went to the restroom, and they left without me. My sister claimed it was "miscommunication" and thought I wasn't planning to come. We've been to several wine festivals together and have had a great time, so I was surprised when one came up and they went without mentioning it to me. I was hurt and angry. Finding a picture on Facebook of my father, sister and brother-in-law having a great time there was a slap in the face. My sister thinks it's ridiculous that I insist on an invitation. Other people tell me I'm loads of fun to be around. Am I wrong to want a "hey, let's go," or should I just tag along regardless? — LeftOut Sister Dear Left Out: You are family. You are allowed to tag along on family outings without an engraved invitation, especially when your sister has already made it clear that you are welcome to do so. Please don't let your sibling issues spoil these special times with your father. If you wish to attend, make your intentions clear, and then be the "loads of fun" gal you are and have a good time. Dear Annie: "Twin in Texas" said her brother in New York is raising two grandsons. He not only shows extreme favoritism toward one of them, but the unfavored child sleeps in a "windowless storage room." As a licensed architect, I can tell you it is illegal to use this storage room as a bedroom for two reasons: First, a bedroom needs two means of egress in case of fire. The second reason is that the code requires a window for light and ventilation with specific requirements on the size for each purpose. — W. from Indiana Dear W.: Our thanks to all the architects and contractors who wrote. We are sure many readers learned something today. We did. Annie's Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

SUDOKU PUZZLE
HOW TO PLAY: Complete the grid so that every row, column and 3x3 box contains every digit from 1 to 9 inclusively. Find answers to today’s puzzle in tomorrow’s Troy Daily News. SATURDAY’S SOLUTION:
HINTS FROM HELOISE
Be sure to choose right shade of interior paint Dear Heloise: I have a decorating tip about choosing the right shade of interior paint for the walls in your home. I got this suggestion from a paint-store salesclerk. It can be hard to choose the right shade from a tiny color strip because light and other factors can change the way the color actually looks in a room. If you buy some sample cans, having several shades next to each other on a wall can confuse your eye. The clerk suggested that I buy some white poster boards and paint those. The paint on the poster board would come close to matching the paint on the wall.
Hints from Heloise Columnist I taped the poster board on one wall to see the effects of the light, etc., and then easily moved it to another position in the room. Later, when I was shopping for bedding, bath towels, rugs, etc., I cut a piece of the painted poster boards to carry along to make sure my selections would look good with the room colors. — Beverly
Hebert, San Antonio Beverly, this is a good hint, and I’ve demonstrated this at homeimprovement shows through the years. It’s not perfect, but it’s close! Heloise Update: Use straight pins to hold the poster board, and there’ll be no tape marks. — Heloise FAST FACTS Dear Readers: Hints for recycling old, plastic shower curtains: • Use to cover plants during winter. • Use as a dropcloth when painting. • Use as a blanket for a picnic. • Place under sheets as a mattress protector for children. • Line the trunk of a car when
transporting plants or sod. — Heloise SEWING HINT Dear Heloise: The (Newark, N.J.) Star-Ledger carries your column five days each week, and I learn a lot from it. Here is my contribution: Have a loose button or need a small repair and can’t find thread to match the fabric? Use a strand of embroidery floss. Embroidery floss comes in a wide range of shades for most colors, and it is inexpensive! — Alberta K., Branchburg, N.J. Thanks for the good hint, and hello to all of my readers in Newark! — Hugs, Heloise

HOROSCOPE Monday, Dec. 12, 2011 Even though your earning potential looks pretty good in the year ahead, if you’re not careful, you may be extravagant and end up broke. Keep everything in proper perspective so that you’ll end up with a profit. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Take nothing for granted and probe deeply when assessing any business dealings. Things could be far more complicated than they appear on the surface. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Don’t allow yourself to be unduly influenced by the advice and opinions of some flamboyant friends, especially if it causes you to ignore your own instinctual judgment. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Fatigue after a busy weekend could cause you to let your attention span and work habits slip somewhat. Remember, carelessness increases the chances of mishap. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — Don’t put yourself in a position where you have to gamble on the abilities and/or skills of another. If they can’t live up to what’s necessary, you’ll go down with them. ARIES (March 21-April 19) — It behooves you to get jobs you dislike out of the way first, while you have the energy to handle your disdain for doing them. They’ll be 10 times harder to do when you’re bushed. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — What you say and what you mean are likely to be two totally different things, especially if you’re playing games with yourself. Be honest with others and with yourself. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — It isn’t likely to be a particular expenditure that throws your budget out of kilter; it’s apt to be all the little, thoughtless purchases that cause a ruckus. Try to be more careful. CANCER (June 21-July 22) — Unless you’re just openly playing around with friends, sincerity is always essential when dealing with others. Shrewd ploys will be unmasked and could tarnish your reputation. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Forgo all small talk about things you know should be kept quiet, even when you think no one important is listening. There is always somebody who will squeal and make you look bad. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — It’s foolish to hang out with anyone who historically expects more from you than they’re prepared to give back in return. Someone may take you for everything you’ve got. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Feeling both ambitious and restless at the same time could be cause for concern, because that combination tends to make you spread your forces too thin. You could end up with nothing. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Get your facts straight and don’t jump to conclusions based on juicy but faulty information. Assess developments in a logical, realistic manner, without adding any kind of fanfare. COPYRIGHT 2011 United Feature Syndicate, Inc.

Grubbs for most of his life. “The river floods at least three times a year,” McCoy said. “It’s a lot worse now than it was in the 1980s.” Much of Watkins’ farmland and that of many others west of Bono along Arkansas 230 was underwater Friday. “It’s pretty much like this all the way south to Grubbs,” Watkins said. Wilkins said most of the land outside of the highway right-of-way is privately owned and public entities have no control over it.

done within state right-ofway to alleviate the flooding. Kenneth Clark of Newport represented the Willow Slough Drainage District of Jackson County when he applied in October to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for a permit to remove accumulated sediment and debris from the Cache River. Clark said that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and Environmental Protection Agency found that the area was environmentally sensitive and put the application in the hands of federal officials. He said the Fish and Wildlife Service suggested that land be purchased north of the logjam and reforested in hardwoods before that agency would agree to any kind of work in the area of the Cache River. “I really hate the way things have turned out,” Clark said. “I guess I was kind of apprehensive all along about the project. I asked the Fish and Wildlife Service to work with us to do something, but they said they don’t have the money.”

CAUTION Whether posting or responding to an advertisement, watch out for offers to pay more than the advertised price for the item. Scammers will send a check and ask the seller to wire the excess through Western Union (possibly for courier fees). The scammer's check is fake and eventually bounces and the seller loses the wired amount. While banks and Western Union branches are trained at spotting fake checks, these types of scams are growing increasingly sophisticated and fake checks often aren't caught for weeks. Funds wired through Western Union or MoneyGram are irretrievable and virtually untraceable. If you have questions regarding scams like these or others, please contact the Ohio Attorney General’s office at (800)282-0515.

Reindeer The reindeer (also called the caribou) is a medium-sized member of the deer family. The genus and species of the reindeer are Rangifer tarandus. Reindeer are strong runners and very good swimmers. This deer is found in Arctic tundra, forests, and mountains in Russia, Northern China, Canada, Alaska, and Scandinavia. Some reindeer migrate in huge herds from the coastal Arctic to the tundra. Reindeer have a life span of about 10 years in the wild. Domesticated Reindeer: Reindeer were domesticated in northern Eurasia roughly 2,000 years ago. Today, reindeer are herded by many European and Asian Arctic people. Anatomy: The reindeer is about 4 feet (1.2 m) tall at the shoulder and is about 6 feet (1.8 m) long. Unlike most other types of deer, both bulls (males) and cows (females) have antlers. The antlers are shed each year and regrow. Reindeer have very wide hooves, a broad muzzle, and

thick brown fur. The thick fur traps air, which insulates the reindeer from the cold and helps the reindeer float in water. Behavior: The reindeer is an herbivore (a plant-eater) who
~ Real Reindeer Facts ~ Did you know that male and female (that's the boys and the girls) reindeer both have antlers? Even the calves (babies) produce antlers. Antlers are sometimes called "racks." Caribou are the only other deer where males and females have antlers. The antlers will fall off after several months, but don't worry — they grow back. Reindeer calves weigh about 14 pounds when they are born. Adult females weigh about 162-187 pounds while the males 200-220 pounds on average. An adult reindeer stands about 3 1/2 to 4 feet tall. That is the average size of a typical 7-8 year old child! How tall are you compared to a reindeer? Calves are born between May and

June and grow very quickly so they can keep up with the herd. They can stand and walk within minutes of their birth. Calves are born with teeth so they can start eating right away. They also drink milk from their mothers. Reindeer live in cold, snowy places — like close to the North Pole. Who else do you know that lives at the North Pole? Reindeer can be found in northern parts of North America, Asia, and Europe where it is colder. How do they keep warm you ask? Well they have thick wooly fur. Their hair is hollow inside. This provides them with a form or insulation. It also allows them to lay in the snow without emitting heat and melting the snow. This way they can stay dry (and warmer). In the summer, their fur thins

out to help them stay cool. Reindeer have large hooves that spread apart as they walk on the snow. They act like snowshoes and prevent the reindeer from sinking in the snow! Have you ever tried walking with snowshoes? These special hooves also help them look for food beneath the snow. The tendons in their hooves create a clicking sound when they walk. Wild reindeer are herbivores. That means they eat plants. Reindeer enjoy eating high quality leaves, stems and buds. They really like edible mushrooms. Do you like mushrooms? They also eat lichen which is a moss that grows on the ground. Reindeer can be selective in what they eat. Reindeer are very strong and can carry a load that weighs as much as they do!

CINCINNATI (AP) — Eighty yards to cover, little more than 2 minutes left, no timeouts to help. Rookie quarterback T.J. Yates faced his biggest challenge as he lined up for the snap. With savvy and a scramble, he pulled it off. Yates led the biggest drive in Texans history on Sunday, one that put them in the end zone and the playoffs. He threw a 6yard touchdown pass with 2 seconds left for a 20-19 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals that sent the expansion team into the playoffs for the first time. “It’s pretty crazy,” Yates said. “A lot of people in this organization have waited a long time for this. This is a special day for this team and this organization.” In the span of a few wild minutes, everything broke their way. With their seventh straight
win, the Texans (10-3) moved to the threshold of the playoffs. They hugged on the field then headed to the locker room, where they huddled around a television set and watched the final minutes of Tennessee’s game play out. They needed a Titans loss to clinch the AFC South. When time ran out on the Titans, preserving New Orleans’ 22-17 victory, the Texans screamed, hugged, and donned black championship caps and white T-shirts. Injured receiver Andre Johnson, who didn’t play because of a strained hamstring, got a game ball for his part in turning the team into a winner. “Words really can’t describe it,” Johnson said. “It’s something I’ve been waiting for for a long time.” Since their inaugural season in 2002, the Texans have been little more than a tease. They’d come close to reaching the play-
offs, only to fade and fumble in the big games. They couldn’t quite get that breakthrough win. An unlikely rookie took them the last step. Yates, a fifth-round draft pick, got his chance when Matt Schaub and Matt Leinart suffered season-ending injuries in consecutive weeks. Making only his second start, Yates led the Texans on their biggest comeback of the season. With everything on the line for both teams, the Bengals (7-6) couldn’t stop him. “A rookie quarterback beat us today,” safety Chris Crocker said. “He did it with both his arm and his feet. I don’t even know what to say. Wow.” Wow, indeed. Yates scrambled 17 yards on third-and-15 to keep the drive going. A pass interference penalty on Adam “Pacman”

Troy outlasted Bowling Green on Sunday, as Derrick Bark delivered the game-winning goal in a sudden death shootout after a big save by goalie Jake Eldridge at the other end. After Bowling Green scored the game’s first goal in the first period, Troy’s Will Schober scored a goal to tie the game, with assists by Andrew Stang and Drew Morgan.
BOWLING GREEN Bowling Green scored to take the lead right back in the third, but Troy captain Nick Usserman tied the game back up later in the period, stealing the puck and then taking it right at the goalie to score and knot the game at 2-2, where it stayed going into overtime. “Nick’s goal was a great effort,” Troy coach Larrell Walters said. “It was a great effort on the forecheck, and it came when we were short-handed. He made a great play to steal the puck, then he went right to the net and put the puck in the right corner.” After a four-on-four overtime, the game remained tied. Then, after five shooters went for each team in the shootout, the game stayed tied before moving onto sudden death. Troy outshot Bowling Green 31-20 for the game. “All in all, we played a great game,” Walters said. “I can’t say enough about the kids’ effort. From the first drop of the puck, we were there to play. “I think this is the first time I can recall that Troy has beaten Bowling Green. It’s a great victory — one that we are very proud of.”

Brewers’ Braun doesn’t fit mold Ryan Braun certainly doesn’t fit the image fans conjure up when they hear that a baseball slugger has been accused of using performance-enhancing drugs. Since he joined the Milwaukee Brewers in 2007, Braun has belted big home runs not with cartoonishly large muscles, but with a sweet swing and an ultra-quick bat. Last season, he helped drive the Brewers to the playoffs and was voted the NL’s Most Valuable Player. See Page 15.
Cincinnati suspends Yates for six games CINCINNATI (AP) — Cincinnati forward Yancy Gates got a six-game suspension on Sunday for throwing punches at No. 8 Xavier, and seven other players were disciplined for their roles in a brawl that ended the annual crosstown rivalry game. Four Bearcats and four Musketeers were suspended in all. Three Cincinnati players got six-game suspensions, the longest of those handed out.
Gates punched Xavier’s Kenny Frease in the face, causing a nasty gash below his left eye, and hit at least one other Musketeer during the fracas on Saturday, which prompted the referees to call Xavier’s 76-53 win with 9.4 seconds left. The Bearcats also gave Cheikh Mbodj and Octavius Ellis six-game suspensions. Ge’Lawn Guyn was suspended for one game.
Xavier suspended point guard Tu Holloway for one game, guard Mark Lyons for two, and Dez Wells and Landen Amos for four games each. The brawl left both programs with a black eye, prompting repeated apologies by both schools. It started in the closing seconds when Holloway talked to the Cincinnati bench. Cincinnati’s Sean Kilpatrick had

said during the week leading up to the game that Holloway wasn’t good enough to start for the Bearcats. Holloway wanted the last word, and started talking to coaches and players on the Cincinnati bench with the clock stopped at 9.4 seconds. Guyn was standing by Holloway and pushed him in the face.

Bengals ■ CONTINUED FROM 14 Jones put the ball at the 6yard line with 12 seconds left. After an incompletion, Walter lined up wide right, cut to the middle of the field and was uncovered at the goal line. Offensive tackle Duane Brown ran to Yates and repeatedly slapped his helmet in celebration. The kid had come through when it mattered most. “Hey, we’re champs!” receiver Jacoby Jones said.
“All my years I’ve been playing, I’ve never been on a team that got over the hump.” Only 41,202 fans the second-smallest crowd in Paul Brown Stadium history showed up to watch the Bengals turn themselves into a long shot for the playoffs. They’d lost three of their last four, including a 35-7 drubbing in Pittsburgh last week that essentially eliminated them from the AFC North race.
Now, they’re going to need help getting the final wild card berth. “As far as the team goes, they are very disappointed and I’m going to have to pump some air in them,” coach Marvin Lewis said. “Before this game, we controlled our own destiny, and now I can’t tell you what is going to happen.” The Texans have kept winning while losing quarterbacks. They took the final step into the playoffs
without Johnson, who was inactive Sunday because of a strained left hamstring. Yates and a solid defense pulled them through. Yates went 26 of 44 for 300 yards with two touchdowns, one interception and five sacks. Houston’s defense was the stingiest in the AFC, and came through after the Texans fell behind 16-3 at halftime. Andy Dalton was sacked and fumbled, setting up Yates’ 6-yard touchdown pass that got

the Texans some momentum early in the third quarter. “It did not look like we had any chance of getting out of here with a win,” coach Gary Kubiak said. “But we have a young quarterback who believes in what he’s doing.” Notes: The Bengals managed 81 yards in the second half. Cedric Benson carried eight times and lost a yard overall in the half. … Houston had one sack, leaving it one shy of
the club record of 37 in 2005. … Cincinnati’s Mike Nugent kicked field goals of 22, 47, 49 and 28 yards. … RG Bobbie Williams hurt his right ankle in the second quarter and didn’t return. … The crowd was smaller than one of the University of Cincinnati’s two games at Paul Brown Stadium this season. The Bearcats drew 48,152 fans for a game against West Virginia on Nov. 12. Their game against Louisville on Oct. 15 drew 40,971.

Brains over Braun Brewers’ Braun doesn’t fit steroid user stereotype MILWAUKEE (AP) — Ryan Braun certainly doesn’t fit the image fans conjure up when they hear that a baseball slugger has been accused of using performance-enhancing drugs. Since he joined the Milwaukee Brewers in 2007, Braun has belted big home runs not with cartoonishly large muscles, but with a sweet swing and an ultra-quick bat. Last season, he helped drive the Brewers to the playoffs and was voted the NL’s Most Valuable Player. Now Braun finds himself fighting a 50-game suspension after news leaked that he has tested positive for a banned substance. He steadfastly maintains his innocence. A spokesman for Braun said in a statement issued to ESPN and The Associated Press that there are “highly unusual circumstances surrounding this case which will support Ryan’s complete innocence.” ESPN cited two sources Saturday in first reporting the result, saying Braun tested positive for elevated levels of testosterone, adding that a later test by the World Anti-Doping Agency lab in Montreal determined the testosterone was synthetic. Braun is appealing, according to people familiar with the case. And fans may be inclined to believe Braun, given his clean-cut image and that he hasn’t tested positive or even been suspected of using banned substances in the past. And, perhaps above all, the fact that he doesn’t look like a human science experiment. But there is a long history of athletes accused of taking banned drugs insisting they did so to recover from injuries. Sports medicine experts acknowledge the drugs may help, raising the possibility Braun might have been doing just that. Norman Fost, a professor of pediatrics and director of the bioethics program at the University of Wisconsin, said vigorous exercise breaks down microscopic muscle fibers.

Milwaukee Brewers’ Ryan Braun celebrates after hitting a game-winning home run during the 11th inning of a baseball game against the Colorado Rockies Sept. 13 in Milwaukee. “One theory is that anabolic steroids hasten the repair of those muscle fibers, and allow you to work out harder,” Fost said. Dr. Susannah Briskin, a primary care sports medicine physician with Rainbow Babies and Children’s Hospital in Cleveland, says the potential injury recovery benefits associated with anabolic steroids have been tested on a limited basis but only on animals. “This stuff will never end up being studied with humans,” Briskin said. “Any medical study must start with, ‘Do no harm.’ The problem is, there’s been a lot of harm proven in studying anabolic steroids.” According to a document on the Mayo Clinic’s website, the potential injury recovery benefits of performance-enhancing drugs are part of their appeal to athletes. “Besides making muscles bigger, anabolic steroids may help athletes
recover from a hard workout more quickly by reducing the muscle damage that occurs during the session,” the document says. “This enables athletes to workout harder and more frequently without overtraining. In addition, some athletes may like the aggressive feelings they get when they take the drugs.” Braun has dealt with nagging injuries in recent years, and other players have acknowledged they used performance enhancers to help them recover from injury. One of the most wellknown is pitcher Andy Pettitte, who said he used human growth hormone to recover from an injury, not to enhance his performance. Given the generally positive public reception to Pettitte’s admission, Fost wonders why more athletes accused of using banned substances don’t just follow his lead. “What amazes me and mystifies me is that every athlete hasn’t figured out
that’s a correct answer and an answer that seems to be deemed acceptable,” Fost said. And Fost doesn’t necessarily see anything wrong with athletes taking a substance that helps them recover from their injuries. He believes health concerns about steroids haven’t been sufficiently proved, and blames the media and Congress for creating an atmosphere he likens to the Salem witch trials. “That’s the big question why is it ‘cheating?’” Fost said. Braun did not respond to a request for comment from the AP. “We are dealing with an incomplete set of facts and speculation,” Brewers chairman and principal owner Mark Attanasio said in a statement. “Before there is a rush to judgment, Ryan deserves the right to be heard. We are committed to supporting Ryan to get to the truth of what happened in this unfortunate situation.”
Cronin said after the game that he would decide whether anybody should be kicked off the team for their actions. He also said he took the players’ jerseys away to make the point that their conduct was unacceptable. Babcock, who was hired from Missouri in October, apologized for the fracas. “We hold our studentathletes to a very high standard and take very seriously the role that our entire department plays in reflecting the overall image of this great university,” Babcock said. “We will continue to work diligently to represent the Bearcat family and the Cincinnati community in a first-class manner. There will be zero tol-
erance for a repeat of this behavior.” Gates is Cincinnati’s top frontcourt player. He’ll miss games against Wright State, Radford, ArkansasPine Bluff, Chicago State, Oklahoma and the Bearcats’ Big East opener at Pittsburgh. Cincinnati consulted with the Big East over the penalties. “The very unfortunate events that occurred in the final seconds of Saturday’s Cincinnati-Xavier basketball game have no place within intercollegiate athletics,” Big East Commissioner John Marinatto said. “The University of Cincinnati has responded with swift, expeditious and appropri-
■ CONTINUED FROM 14 Prater’s 59-yarder with 2 seconds left in regulation tied the score. It was Denver’s sixth straight win, and half of them have come in OT since Tebow was promoted to starter. SAINTS 22, TITANS 17 NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Drew Brees threw two touchdown passes to Marques Colston in the fourth quarter to lead New Orleans to its fifth straight victory. The NFC South-leading Saints (10-3) had little trouble picking up yards, but struggled to score until Brees and Colston connected on passes of 35 and 28 yards. PATRIOTS 34, REDSKINS 27 LANDOVER, Md. — Tom Brady threw for 357 yards and three touchdowns, and Rob Gronkowski set an NFL single-season record for most touchdown catches by a tight end as New England won its fifth straight. Gronkowski snagged his 14th and 15th scoring receptions, moving him past Antonio Gates and Vernon Davis. Gates had 13 in 2004, and Davis matched that total in 2009. RAVENS 24, COLTS 10 BALTIMORE — Terrell Suggs had three sacks and forced three fumbles to keep Indianapolis winless. Baltimore (10-3) limited the Colts (0-13) to 167 yards 53 through three quarters. Were it not for a touchdown on the game’s final play, Indianapolis would have been held without a
TD for the second time since the 2003 season opener. FALCONS 31, PANTHERS 23 CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Matt Ryan threw two fourth-quarter touchdown passes to rookie Julio Jones and Atlanta erased a 16-point deficit. Ryan threw for 320 yards and tied a career high with four touchdowns passing. Atlanta (8-5) avoided a costly loss to stay alive in the NFC wild card race. LIONS 34, VIKINGS 28 DETROIT — Backup Joe Webb fumbled deep in Lions territory in the final seconds, and Detroit escaped with a much-need victory. Matthew Stafford threw for two scores in the first quarter to give Detroit one of its threetouchdown leads. The Lions (8-5) had lost five of seven, and played without defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh, who is serving the second game of his two-game suspension. CHARGERS 37, BILLS 10 SAN DIEGO — Philip Rivers threw three touchdown passes, two to Antonio Gates, and the San Diego Chargers beat the Buffalo Bills 37-10 Sunday to keep their playoff hopes alive. CARDINALS 21, 49ERS 19 GLENDALE, Ariz. — John Skelton stepped in for the injured Kevin Kolb and threw for 282 yards and three touchdowns, and the Arizona Cardinals rallied to hand the San Francisco 49ers just their third loss of the season, 21-19 on Sunday.

Brawl ■ CONTINUED FROM 14 responded by pushing down Guyn. Gates was holding the ball and threw it at Holloway’s head, prompting both benches to clear. At a news conference on Sunday, Holloway took responsibility for instigating it. “Coach (Chris) Mack always reminds me, ‘You’re a leader of this team. The young guys are going to do what you’re going to do,’” Holloway said. “If I would’ve never talked to (UC’s) bench or if I wouldn’t have said anything to their players, maybe Dez Wells wouldn’t be suspended four games. The result of what I did, I kind of brought him down, I brought Mark Lyons down, I brought the
rest of my teammates down because of what I did out there on the floor.” Players went at each other in the scrum. As the fight wound down, Gates stood by the Cincinnati bench with fists raised in a boxing pose. The suspensions will affect only one Big East game, the Bearcats’ league opener at Pittsburgh on Jan. 1. “We want to deal with this in a prompt and direct manner and send the message that we will not tolerate this from those who have the privilege of representing the University of Cincinnati,” athletics director Whit Babcock said in a statement. Cincinnati coach Mick
ate action, which the Big East Conference fully supports.” Xavier (8-0) handed out penalties that will extend through the Musketeers’ appearance at the Diamond Head Classic in Hawaii over Christmas. They are off next week for finals, and resume on Sunday at home against Oral Roberts. The following three games are in Hawaii. Holloway and Xavier athletics director Mike Bobinski said on Sunday that they regretted the point guard’s use of the term “gangsters” to describe the Musketeers’ toughness in a postgame news conference. The rivalry has taken on a hard edge over the years,
with trash talking, occasional shoving and technical fouls the norm in games. The first all-out brawl raised questions about whether it should continue. “Should we not play the game anymore?” Bobinski said. “I think that’s a bad idea. I think that’s sort of giving in to the events of yesterday. But I only believe that if we can change the dynamic of the game. “I’ve spoken with Whit Babcock, and we’ve agreed to work together to make this a positive event and a celebration of the Division I basketball that’s played in the city of Cincinnati and not the Hatfield and McCoy event that it’s turned into over the years.”
