Ohio union law falls in sweeping defeat

By JULIE CARR SMYTH and ANN SANNER The Associated Press COLUMBUS Voters of both parties in every corner of Ohio helped defeat the states new collective bargaining law Tuesday by a wide margin, sending a message that Gov. John Kasich said he would need time to fully digest. All but five of Ohios 88 counties opposed the law, more than half with upwards of 60 percent of the vote, according to final unofficial results. The nationally watched campaign dominated the general election, though a largely symbolic amendment to the state constitution snubbing federal health insurance mandates won by an even stronger margin in even more counties. With 99 percent of precincts reporting early today, more than 61 percent of voters had rejected the union-limiting Senate Bill 5. Nearly 66 percent had supported the health care amendment. A third ballot issue raising the age limit for judges from 70 to 75 was rejected with 62 percent of the vote. Victorious issue campaigns said voters of every political stripe are fed up. I think it says people are tired of the excuses and the political games and the attacks on working people and their ability to make a living, AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka said of the

Delphos, Ohio opting out of the 2009 federal health care law for similar reasons. Ohioans and Americans understand. They dont want forced government health care, they dont want to be told what to buy, what to eat, what to drive, he said. What a lot of people in Columbus and Washington, D.C., dont understand is we dont send our elected representatives there to take our liberty away. Kasich congratulated opponents of the contentious, union-limiting law he signed in March and said he would be deciding how to move forward. Ive heard their voices, I understand their decision and frankly I respect what people have to say in an effort like this. And as a result of that, it requires me to take a deep breath, you know, and to spend some time reflecting on what happened here. Cincinnati firefighter Doug Stern said he hopes lawmakers would be willing to work with firefighters and other public workers should they try again to change collective bargaining. We want the ability to sit down at the table, said Stern, who has put in 15 years with the fire department. We live in the communities we serve. We dont want them to do poorly. Unions, Democratic organizations, the Rev. Jesse Jackson and President Obama all praised voters rejection See OHIO, page 9

Rode, Wulfhorst fill school board seats, unexpired term still open
BY NANCY SPENCER [email protected] DELPHOS Joe Rode and Michael Wulfhorst will serve on the Delphos City School Board of Education for the next four years. Rode garnered 2,155 votes; Wulfhorst, 1,512; and Greg Gossman fell short on his bid with 1,187 votes. Rode, 34, has been attending board meetings for nearly a year and said he sees the challenges he and the board face. Hiring a superintendent will be the first. We need to find the right person. We have a unique district and they will need to work with both school systems. He said. He is concerned about the four unsuccessful attempts to raise more operating money. I know the district needs additional funding to give the students every advantage to go on to whatever they want, he added. I hope I can help the district residents understand the need and work to keep our district strong. Rode and his wife Crysti reside in Landeck. They have three children. Rode is employed at PalmerDonovan. Wulfhorst, 37, is ready to roll up his sleeves and get to work. Hiring a superintendent is also on Wulfhorsts short list. I look for the next superintendent of Delphos Schools to have a strong educational background and experience. I want the candidate to be a creative thinker and to have great personal qualities, he said. I am looking for someone that can work with both schools to continue to provide the best educational opportunities to our children. Wulfhorst has an approach to pass a school levy. I will work with the community, business owners and both schools on getting the word out about the need for a new levy to assure that we can continue to provide the quality education the Delphos schools are known for, he said. I will work with the current and new board mem-

DELPHOS Voters gave approval for the Delphos 4.05mill tax levy renewal Tuesday at the polls. The measure passed 1,234 to 757.

Mayor Michael Gallmeier was unopposed and will retain his seat for another four years.

bers in continuing to give our young men and women the best educational opportunities in the state. We need to restore some lost programs due to the last budget cuts and I plan on working hard to find a reasonable, cost-effective solution to these issues. The unexpired term, filled by Deb Gallmeier after no candidate came forward in the 2010 General Election will remain unfilled until the school board appoints someone to fill it on or after the first meeting in January.

Having lost some manufacturing jobs in recent years, economic development may be the villages biggest challenge. We have to do the best we can to make our village attractive, both visually and with possible abatements and whatever we can do at the local level. Since I started running for mayor, elected officials outside Spencerville have contacted me. So, Im networking and Im involved locally. We recently started a community improvement corporation here in Spencerville and I serve on the board. Were doing whatever we can to market the town, he said. The 42-year-old father of two has been married to his wife, Linda, 16 years. He works with the county engineers office as its fleet and facility manager. In Spencerville, he has been involved with one of its largest infrastructure projects that is also important in attracting new businesses: water. Council has now moved forward with a water treatment plant. We have been in the design stage and have had it shelf-ready but recently passed a motion to move ahead. Rather than being built onsite, we will have it built off-site and put it together on-site as a modular, he said.

DELPHOS Van Wert County voters lent their overwhelming support Tuesday to the countys Council on Aging. The passage of two measures included a five-year, .2-mill levy that is split 84/16 with Delphos Senior Citizens, Inc. The measure passed 6,468 to 2,155. Executive Director Joyce Hale says she is grateful to the voters. Were just delighted for the clients. Were very thankful to the voters of Delphos; theyve always helped us and were very thankful for their support. We appreciate it so very much because we use that money for transportation. Without public transportation, its difficult for people to get around and getting to doctors offices and hospitals is so important, she said. Hale said her centers vans are on the road every day. Last year we got roughly $15,000. This year, we trans-

ported 91 different clients in 3,311 trips from January to September. Its hard to tell how much of that was just for Van Wert County; we can only spend each countys levy dollars on residents of that county. Hale said the price of gas can be a heavy burden. The center tries to consolidate trips as much as possible but it does spread its wings to gather in its chicks. We seldom go anywhere with just one person in the van; we may have three or five people in it from any of our three counties. We pick them up where they live; Delphos, Middle Point, Convoy and anywhere between. We take them where they need to go; we bring them up here for lunch and we take them to their doctor. We are in Lima every day, sometimes two vans, and that may mean taking Van Wert County people to Lima, if thats where their doctor is, she said. The other levy that passed is a five-year, .25-mill issue, with 100 percent of the funds going to the Van Wert center.

Coast Guard OKs winding WEATHER Delphos weather down BP spill cleanup
By CAIN BURDEAU and DINA CAPPIELLO The Associated Press NEW ORLEANS BP will no longer be responsible for cleaning up oil that washes up on the Gulf Coast unless officials can prove it comes from the companys well that blew out in 2010, causing the worst offshore spill in U.S. history, according to a plan approved by the Coast Guard and obtained by The Associated Press. The plan marks the near end of the cleanup phase of the oil spill, according to the Nov. 2 agreement obtained by the AP on Tuesday. Now, BP will turn its attention to restoring areas damaged by the spill that began on April 20, 2010, when the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig exploded, killing 11 workers. About $1 billion has been set aside for those projects, an official says. About 90 percent of the Gulf coast has been deemed clean, according to officials. The plan spells out protocol for when an area still needs to be cleaned and when BPs responsibility for that ends. Louisiana officials wouldnt give their approval because they were concerned about what they perceived as a lack of long-term monitoring in the document. They also complained that the Coast Guard gave them only five days to review the plan, according to a letter sent to the agency by Garret Graves, a top aide to Gov. Bobby Jindal for coastal affairs. That concern was echoed by Ralph Portier, an oil spill cleanup expert with Louisiana State University. If we have learned anything from Valdez and Ixtoc, there needs to be an awareness for long-term monitoring, Portier said. He was referring to the Exxon-Valdez tanker spill in 1989 in Alaska and the 1979 Ixtoc oil rig spill in the Gulf of Mexico. He said the Coast Guard should have a plan to respond to problems that may arise. On Floridas Panhandle, some people reacted with skepticism. Kenneth Collins, who rents fishing poles to tourists and spends his days with local fishermen at the Pensacola Beach pier, said he doesnt think the effects of the spill are over. Its not ok at all. We arent scientists or anything but we are out there all the time and we can tell things arent right, Collins said. Red fish, cobia, grouper and other species caught off the beach pier have oily deposits in their intestines when they are carved up for cleaning, he said. Everything is just not how it used to be. When you pull a fish up, it doesnt look like it is supposed to look, like they did before said Ryan Johnson a fishermen on the pier. Johnson said many fish now have an unnatural brownish color. Despite the concerns, the Coast Guard said its finalized plan would apply to Louisiana and all the Gulf states. New oil that shows up on clean shores would be treated as any kind of oil response, said Coast Guard spokeswoman Lt. Suzanne Kerver. Officials would try to determine where it came from. If a link to BPs now-plugged Macondo well was found, then the Coast Guard would ask the oil giant to clean it up. Kerver says the shoreline plan outlines the standard for clean. BP can now start work on restoring areas damaged by the spill. Restoration plans

Comedian gets elected as mayor
HILLSBORO (AP) A veteran standup comedian was elected mayor Tuesday of a small city in southwest Ohio. With Hillsboro reporting complete, unofficial results, Drew Hastings had 773 votes to 440 for John Levo, a retired banker and former city councilman. The 57-year-old Hastings moved from Los Angeles to the community 50 miles east of Cincinnati six years ago, buying a cattle farm. A veteran of TVs Comedy Central, a regular on the syndicated Bob & Tom Show on radio, and familiar in comedy clubs across the country, Hastings became increasingly involved in the city of 6,600 residents, buying and renovating several downtown buildings. He said his celebrity although he jokingly describes himself as a D, E, or F-list celeb could help bring positive attention to Hillsboro. He also suggested boosting tourism with agritainment, such as hay art and hay bale races. Hillsboro has been dealing with double-digit unemployment and other financial issues. Hastings also said his years of performing in similar Midwest cities gives him some insights into what works and what doesnt for economic development. He at times had to fend off criticism of his adult-oriented humor and questions about his motives, such as whether he was seeking publicity for himself or gathering material for new comedy routines. He joked in a pre-election Twitter message that his campaign highlighted sexual harassment issues: I dont think citizens should be touched inappropriately in their wallet. Hastings won a three-way Republican primary in May. Levo, whos 65, filed as an independent. No Democrats ran to succeed retiring twoterm incumbent Richard Zink, a Democrat. Hastings, who grew up in the Dayton suburb of Kettering, will start a fouryear term in January.

Fighting to keep seniors warm this winter

By Sen. Sherrod Brown For more than 30 years, the bipartisan Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) has helped many Ohio seniors and families especially those with the lowest incomes who pay a high proportion of their income on home energy keep warm in the winter. Yet, under a new proposal in the House of Representatives, warm-weather states may receive additional funds at the expense of cold weather states like Ohio. Seniors facing rising home energy costs during Ohios cold winters shouldnt be forced to choose between heating their homes and buying groceries. A bill in the House would slash vital energy resources for low-income and elderly Ohioans to send a large share of energy assistance resources to warmweather states like Florida and Arizona. By setting aside a bipartisan formula for disbursing assistance thats been used for 30 years, the House proposal would result in colder-weather states receiving less help to the tune of $15 million in Ohio alone. Its time to listen to and speak out for the 426,410 Ohioans who dont know how theyre going to keep the heat on this winter. When elderly and low-income Ohioans pay high heating costs to keep their homes warm, they often cut back on other bills like buying groceries or paying for medicine. Recently, I visited with a constituent who lives in Cuyahoga County. The woman I met with at her home is in her nineties and relies on LIHEAP funds to help keep warm as the temperature falls. I also spoke with a senior citizen from Waterford who has a monthly income of about $694 and in the winter spends a large portion of her income on heating. While the debate in Washington has been focused on the budget deficit, what programs we choose to cut have real-world consequences. We cannot forget the challenges faced by Americas seniors and low-income, working families. The senior from Washington County said she doesnt know what elderly Ohioans are going to do if this is cut. Further cuts to LIHEAP could result in Ohio seniors receiving smaller award amounts to help heat their homes this winter or denied assistance altogether. Hypothermia claimed the lives of hundreds of Ohioans over the past five years and this was at a time when LIHEAP resources were more abundant. With heating oil prices expected to rise by 10 percent this winter, we have a responsibility to help keep Ohio families safe. Lets make sure we dont have to get to that point. That is why I led 33 of my Senate colleagues both Republicans and Democrats in writing to the Obama Administration in sup-

STATE/LOCAL

port of the rapid deployment of LIHEAP resources to the communities in cold, Midwestern and Northeastern states that need it most. As poverty rates increase, it becomes even more imperative that America acts to protect our values. In America, no senior should have to worry about freezing in their own home. A single, working parent shouldnt have to choose between keeping the heat on and paying for food for her children. Like most Americans, I care about the budget and the deficit. But we need to cut wasteful subsidies for Big Oil companies or extra tax breaks for giant corporations before cutting lifelines for Ohio seniors.

SANDUSKY (AP) The retiring CEO of the nations third biggest amusement park chain is leaving behind a legacy that will be hard to reach at least in terms of heights and thrills. Under the watch of president and chief executive Richard Kinzel, Cedar Fair Entertainment Co. was transformed from a small collection of amusement parks into an industry giant, and its flagship park along Lake Erie grew into a major destination by opening several record-breaking roller coasters. Kinzel, 70, who is retiring at the end of the year, started his career managing food stands on the midway in the early 1970s and has been the companys chief executive officer since 1986. He told the Sandusky Register he found out early in his career how important roller coasters are to the bottom line when he was director of operations at Cedar Point, midway between Toledo and Cleveland. Attendance topped 3 million for the first time when the park in 1976 opened Memory Corkscrew, one of the first roller coasters that turned riders upside down three times.

US to sanction Iran more

By JULIE PACE and BRADLEY KLAPPER Associated Press WASHINGTON The United States is readying a range of unilateral sanctions against Iran, as well as additional measures with international partners, should the Islamic republic fail to answer fresh questions about its nuclear ambitions posed by a report released Tuesday by a United Nations watchdog. While U.S. officials see the International Atomic Energy Agencys report as a vindication of its long-held assertion that Irans nuclear program is aimed at developing weapons, the new intelligence wasnt likely to be a game-changer. U.S. officials insisted they were still focused on using sanctions and diplomatic channels to punish Iran for its nuclear efforts, and steered clear of any suggestion that the international community was moving closer to taking military action. The IAEA report reveals for the first time that Iran is suspected of conducting secret experiments whose sole purpose is the development of nuclear arms. Its the strongest sign yet that Iran seeks to build a nuclear arsenal, despite Tehrans claims to the contrary. Senior Obama administration officials said much of the intelligence contained in By KIMBERLY HEFLING AP Education Writer the report was already known to the U.S., though the report was unique in its scope and level of details. And it puts the U.N.s imprimatur on some claims and strands of evidence gathered by the U.S., which could prove valuable as the Obama administration lobbies governments around the world to toughen their own sanctions against Iran. One official said the U.S. would be consulting with international partners in the coming days on ways to ratchet up the pressure on Iran, though they offered no detail on what entities in Iran could be targeted. The U.S. already has slapped sanctions on dozens of Iranian government agencies, financial and shipping companies as well as officials over the nuclear program and could target additional institutions like Irans Central Bank. It also has pushed the U.N. Security Council, which previously has imposed four rounds of international sanctions on Iran, for increased penalties. But in light of Irans continued defiance, some, including many in Israel, have argued that military action is the only solution. Speculation has run high in Israel over the past week that the government there is contemplating a strike, and Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak warned of that possibility ahead of the

One Year Ago Preparations for the Landeck Sausage and Sauerkraut dinner start with the Making of the Kraut. More than 25 men from the parish met Oct. 6 at the home of Jake Miller to cut cabbage to be processed into kraut. Arthur Rode, Robert Martin, Jerry Miller, Dave Hiller and Don Kaverman were among those helping make the sauerkraut. 25 Years Ago 1986 Delphos Future Farmers of America initiated five Greenhands (new members) recently. Guest speaker at the initiation meeting was Joyce Scott, state FFA secretary. She spoke on setting goals in FFA. Scott handed certificates to Greenhands, Med Smith, Reid Thompson, Randy Stone, Scott Wurst and Brian Shaffer. Special award winners at St. Johns volleyball team awards program were Cyndi Kortokrax, Beth Gengler and Jill Schimmoeller. Kortokrax received the Blue Jay Hustle Award and was also honored for her selection to first team Midwest Athletic Conference and honorable mention District 8. Gengler was honored for having the highest serving percentage for the varsity. Schimmoeller had the highest serving percentage for the reserves. Becky Krietemeyer of Fort Jennings owns a polar bear or at least part of one. She and other members of the Ohio Northern volleyball team adopted Nia, a live, fully-grown polar bear at the Cleveland Zoo. The polar bear is the ONU mascot. Team members and Coach Sheila Wallace traveled to the zoo to present a check to help in the care of the polar bear and to meet their new furry friend. 50 Years Ago 1961 Delphos voters returned Mayor Richard F. Wulfhorst, Democrat, to office by a plurality of 619 votes over his Republican opponent, Donald Jacomet. In a tight race, they also re-elected Robert J. Hohlbein, Republican, as president of city council over Harold Wieging, Democrat, by a final vote of 946 to 805. Defeated in a bid for re-election to the city treasurer post was Democrat Francis Buck Weisgerber, who was beaten, 1036-817, by Republican Thomas H. Scherger. Lt. Colonel Paul E. Gardner, formerly of Delphos and brother of Mrs. Brooks Louthan, West Third Street, has arrived at the Granite City Engineer Depot to fill the assisnment of Deputy Commander. Colonel Gardner earned a degree in Civil Engineering from Texas A. & A. and entered the Army as a commissioned officer in 1934. Martha Meeker was elected president of the Mary Martha Bible Class of the Christian Union Church during a meeting held Tuesday in the home of Norma Moore on Adam Street. Other officers elected to serve during the ensuing year were Dorothy Miller, vice president; Opal Fry, secretary; Beulah Jacobs, treasurer; and Elizabeth Wiley, assistant secretary.

IT WAS NEWS THEN

Bernanke shows independence with Texas trip

75 Years Ago 1936 Work was started Monday morning to tear down an old Delphos landmark, the Kollsmith building at the corner of Main and Fifth streets, to make way for the erection of a Standard Oil super service station. The building was erected in 1873 by Fred Kollsmith, Sr. For many years the building was used by Fred Kollsmith and his sons, where they carried on a blacksmith business and made wagons, buggies and sleighs. Paul Gardner of Delphos, has been appointed as deputy engineer of Van Wert County by J. F. Mollenkopf, Van Wert County engineer-elect. Gardner, son of the late Mr. and Mrs. George A. Gardner, is a graduate of Jefferson High School and received his degree of civil engineering at Tri-State College at Angola, Indiana. Seven Jefferson High School girls went to Ada Saturday WASHINGTON If morning to participate in the Ohio Northern University Girls Play Day. Those from Jefferson were Pauline Hartlieb, Juanita you were Herman Cain, what Nollan, Lial Druckemiller, Armeda Van Meter, Betty Jones and would you do? Undoubtedly countless Delores Newton. men have pondered this question the past several days. The query got trickier when feminist attorney Gloria Allred presented a fourth woman in person to recount a past sexual transgression involving the former pizza executive. Or, as Allred colorfully put it, Cains idea of a stimulus package. Oh, chortle, chortle. Perhaps finding herself in the Friars Club, where Allred called a news conference, she couldnt resist her inner comic. If true, the experience related by Sharon Bialek, a former employee of the National Restaurant Associations educational foundation, was more than a joke. Allegedly, on the pretense of showing Bialek the restaurant associations offices, Cain parked the car and essentially assaulted Bialek, slipping his hand under her skirt and trying to bring her head toward his lap. Not a very presidential image that. When Bialek protested, reminding Cain that she had a boyfriend, he allegedly said, You want a job, right? Corroborating testimony via written statements from two other individuals, whom Bialek had told about the

WASHINGTON (AP) A town hall meeting with Ben Bernanke and a group of military families discussing family finances wouldnt normally draw much notice. But for this particular event, the Federal Reserve chairman is venturing into Texas. And those who watch the Fed say the visit sends a message to Bernankes critics: The Fed is independent and wont be intimidated. Three months ago, Texas Gov. Rick Perry, who is seeking the Republican presidential nod, had sent a veiled threat: Bernanke would be treated ugly in Texas if he continued to pursue ever-lower interest rates a policy that Perry and some other critics say is akin to recklessly printing money. Now, Bernanke is visiting Texas for the first time since then, to a U.S. Army fort in El Paso. His destination may not be coincidental. There has to be a political significance to this trip, given what presidential candidate Perry said about the Fed chairman and about how badly he would be treated in Texas, said David Jones, head of consultant DMJ Advisors and the author of books on the central bank. The Fed sees Texas as a good place to make a stand to assert the Feds independence. The Fed wouldnt say whether the El Paso town hall meeting was planned before or after Perry made his remarks. Fed officials say only that Fort Bliss was chosen because it has a successful financial literacy program that Bernanke wants to highlight. The town hall meeting is the latest in a series of public outreach efforts Bernanke has made, they say. Over the past 2 1/2 years, Bernanke has attended a half-dozen informal gatherings in Kansas City, Atlanta, Cleveland and other cities. This weeks town hall meeting is his first in Texas.

Bipartisan rewrite of education law sparks debate

WASHINGTON In a divided Washington, theres widespread agreement that the sweeping No Child Left Behind education law needs fixing. But finding a fix hasnt been easy. Civil and disability rights groups have banded together with an unlikely ally, the business-friendly U.S. Chamber of Commerce, to oppose a bipartisan update to the law that has been approved by a Senate committee. They say the bill is weak on accountability. The administration also dislikes it for many of the same reasons. On the other side, many conservatives say the bill gives the federal government too much control. Even some of the Republicans who voted it out of committee, such as Tennessee Sen. Lamar Alexander, a former U.S. education secretary, cite the same concerns. It hasnt always been this way. The law, which was championed by President George W. Bush, was passed in 2002 with widespread bipartisan support. Focused primarily on helping poor and minority children, it required annual testing of students. Schools that dont meet requirements for two years or longer face consequences that become increasingly tough from having to transport children to higher performing schools and offering tutoring to replacing staff. But critics said teachers started teaching to the tests, that there was little flexibility for states and local districts to design systems that might work better and that the requirements were too stringent. They also said it was unrealistic to expect every child to perform on grade level in reading and math by 2014, as required by the law. The bill that passed the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions on Oct. 20 would give states more control and eliminate many of the proficiency requirements. It wouldnt require that states develop teacher and principal evaluation systems something the administration wants but would offer incentives to do so. Federal control would be focused on the bottom 5 percent of schools, which school districts would be required to fix using one of a series of models. The bill also would order states to identify low-performing schools and schools with groups of low-performing students and develop plans to help them. Students still would be tested annually, something Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., said Tuesday at a Capitol Hill hearing that he opposes. Paul said the federal government simply

reports release. Israel considers Iran to be its most dangerous enemy and the only regional power that poses an existential threat to it. U.S. officials said they were consulting regularly with the Israeli government on the nuclear threat posed by Iran, but wouldnt take a position on Israels warning of possible military action. Despite the fresh intelligence showing that Iran appears to be pushing forward in its quest for nuclear weapons, Obama administration officials insist economic sanctions are taking a toll on Tehran. Officials said Tuesday that Irans economy had been severely slowed and the country increasingly isolated under the pressure of sanctions. All of the U.S. and administration officials spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly about the report. Florida Republican Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, chairwoman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, said the IAEA report showed the international community was running out of time to stop Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons. She urged Congress to pass two bills recently adopted by her committee that would tighten and expand sanctions on Irans energy sector.

needs to get out of schools way because the farther we get away from local government to national government the worse the oversight gets. Other Republicans such as Alexander have said that it should be up to states and local districts to develop teacher and principal evaluation systems and to determine when a school is succeeding or failing. I do think theres a large philosophical sort of debate and battle that is part of this, Paul said. Wade Henderson, the president and CEO of the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, testified that he doesnt see fixing schools as a philosophical debate at all. I see it as a practical debate affecting real life students and the consequences of a failure to educate them properly, Henderson said. His organization was among nearly 30 groups that said in a statement that the current bill would allow students to fall through the cracks because states would not have to set a measurable achievement and progress targets or even graduation rate goals. Federal funding must be attached to firm, ambitious and unequivocal demands for higher achievement, high school graduation rates and gap closing, the groups said.
of wine (Bialek recalled that he probably had a couple of glasses with dinner), nothing really justifies this behavior. If Bialek is telling the truth, then Herman Cain is a predator, not to mention a boor, and no man for the presidency. Still we are left with he said/she said and Cain knows that we cant know what happened. He knows that in sexual harassment cases, the sin is in the eye of the beholder. One mans flirtation is another mans unwelcome advance. One womans embarrassment of riches is anothers hostile workplace. Politically and considering the peace in his own home -- Cain has nothing to lose by sticking to his guns. He figures his base hates the media more than they hate whatever he did. And theres ample precedent for this approach. Absent a blue dress, why should he confess? Cain could survive, though whether he should is another question. The claims of four women require a lot of denial, and people are not credulous. They have a sense of things. They know what is is. The beholders eye is now public opinion and the image has been irretrievably set -- of a man and a woman in a parked car.

Moderately confused

Point of View
incident at the time, including her then-boyfriend, further reduces Cains wiggle room. Bialek didnt share details of the assault back then, saying now she was too embarrassed. Cain said Tuesday he doesnt even know Bialek. He also has denied the allegations of two other women who filed complaints and received settlements from the restaurant association, as well as a third, who says she considered filing a complaint. Even as one types three other women, deniability seems less plausible. In journalism, three is a trend. Four is a tipping point. Whereas the other women remained anonymous (until ones name was revealed Tuesday), Bialek is quite real. She has a name. She has a record of employment. She has a son. Most important, she has Allred, whose entrance into any arena does not usually bode well for a man accused. Women, too, may wonder what they would do? Would they file a complaint and settle for a years salary if their boss made sexual advances or oth-

erwise made them feel uncomfortable at work? Would they step forward 14 years later to face a nations scrutiny, including the inevitable questions of their own credibility? Its a nasty business. The male in a sexual harassment equation has two choices: Confess and quit or deny and push on. In his denials, Cain has said repeatedly that he has never sexually harassed anyone, and to his mind, this may be true. In the first three cases, he may well think that his behavior was gregarious and friendly, within the bounds of acceptable. He may even feel that whatever happened in the car with Bialek was not out-ofbounds depending on his perception of the circumstances. Bialek said she contacted Cain to ask for help in finding a job, met him for drinks and dinner, and, having learned that he had upgraded her room to a suite (talk about smooth), went willingly with him in the car. Was she perhaps naive in thinking he had only an office tour in mind? Be still my sisters. Im not suggesting that Bialek was asking for anything more than a job. Im merely trying to put myself in Cains shoes and see things as he might have. And this is where he gets into trouble. No amount of rationalizing, no amount

A Saturday in the life

BY LOVINA EICHER Following is a diary of this past Saturday: 7:30 a.m. We slept in this morning. It was a nice break to sleep later after another week of a busy schedule. Last night we got home later as we went to Jacob and Emmas house for supper in honor of Jacobs 39th birthday which was Nov. 1. They had a delicious supper of barbecued pork steak and ribs and a haystack supper. Emma presented Jacob with a big ice cream cake from Dairy Queen. After dishes were washed, singing was done and some of them played Aggravation. 8 a.m. Everyone is awake now and the girls and I are making breakfast. Joe and the three boys are doing the morning chores. It is relaxing to have a Saturday morning that isnt so rushed. We made a breakfast casserole layering scrambled eggs, potatoes, sausage, bacon and cheese with sausage gravy poured over everything. Yum! 9:15 a.m. Breakfast is ready. We have the casserole along with frosted sugar and ranger cookies, milk, and grape juice. Elizabeth and Susan baked almost 200 cookies on Thursday. Some are for church services on Sunday and the children wanted to take some to their teachers. They are delicious and disappearing fast. 10 a.m. Joe and the boys are working at odd and end jobs outside. Verena and Loretta are sorting potatoes for the winter. We like to sort through all the potatoes we pick up from the fields. We separate the good ones from the ones with cuts and bad spots so they can be used first. Elizabeth and I start with the weekly cleaning while Susan and Lovina wash the breakfast dishes. 1 p.m. The cleaning is done and everyone takes a break from work. We eat a light lunch of sandwiches, apples and bananas. 1:30 p.m. Joe leaves to go get some repairs done on our buggy. 3 p.m. Joe is back home and he and the boys start on the evening chores. Taking care of the stove is another chore on his list during the winter months. 3:30 p.m. Joes brother Junior comes for a visit. We havent seen him in almost 7 years so our younger children do not remember him. He had lived out of the area but recently moved back. Joe tells him to stay for supper. 5:30 p.m. Joe starts the grill outside to prepare some chicken. I make chili soup in the house. 6:30 p.m. Suppertime and Junior joins us and

also Elizabeths friend Timothy. 7:30 p.m. Junior leaves for home and everyone gets cleaned up and ready for church tomorrow. Our time will go back an hour tonight which we will be glad for the extra sleep. Both our buggies are repaired so we will be able to take both of them to church. Our single buggy had not been usable since it flipped over several weeks ago. Our 17-year-old horse, Diamond, felt his harness catch on the shaft and this scared him enough to take off and flip the buggy. But now the damages are all repaired. 8:30 p.m. Everyone is ready for bed. With Thanksgiving on the way I have a great recipe to use up some of the leftover turkey. TURKEY CASSEROLE 3 slices of bread, cubed 2 cups cooked turkey pieces 1 egg 1 can of chicken noodle soup 1 can of cream of mushroom soup 1 cup of cracker crumbs, crushed 1/4 cup of margarine, melted Place cubed turkey pieces and bread in a greased casserole dish. Combine egg and soups and pour over meat and bread. Combine cracker crumbs and melted margarine. Sprinkle on top of the casserole. Bake at 350 degrees for 50-60 minutes.

CL of C to send cookies to servicemen and women

The October 2011 meeting of CLC Council 88 was called to order by President Shelley Hoersten, with 15 members and 4 guests present. Bob and Carol Meyer requested the money normally spent on an anniversary party for them to instead go to the March of Dimes. A motion was made for that money to be donated to the March of

Dimes. The council decided to send homemade cookies to servicemen and women at Christmas. Cookies will be baked ahead of time and then members will get together to pack them in boxes at the beginning of December. Hoersten needs the names of any service personnel from the parish.

Bulldogs expecting tougher challenge Friday

By JIM METCALFE [email protected] Elida dominated Bellevue last week 55-20 by using the big plays and the pinpoint passing of senior quarterback Reggie McAdams. Bulldog head coach Jason Carpenter doesnt expect things to be as easy this Friday as the Bulldogs (8-3) take on the Columbus St. Francis deSales Stallions at 7:30 p.m. at Clayton Northmont High School in Region 10 semifinal action. They run the I formation on offense and they spread it around well. Ball is a very good runner but they dont overuse him, Carpenter noted. They run play-action off of that the dive option and toss sweep that is their bread-and-butter and they have some pretty good wide receivers. They arent real big up front around 200/210 pounds but they are wellcoached; they get off the ball quick. Defensively, they are even more well-coached; they are more of a read-andreact 4-man front scheme. They read the down blocks well and they can get pressure with a 4-man rush. The Bulldogs come in with per-game points averages of 39.1 (offensively) and 17.9 (defensively). They average 120.9 yards rushing and 279.5 yards passing. Leading the way are McAdams (199-of-289 passing, 3,017 yards, 33 scores, 6 picks), Austin Etzler (64 grabs, 1,354 yards, 17 TDs), Brandon Stinson (48 for 688, 7), Jeremy Newby (37

Rodgers, Woodley, Harbaugh worthy of awards

By BARRY WILNER The Associated Press Their work is only half completed, yet they deserve front-runner status for this seasons NFL awards. And yes, we know how everything can change in the next eight weeks. For now, though, heres the whos who of honorees for 2011.
OFFENSIVE ROOKIE: Cam Newton, QB, Carolina. Its hard make that nearly impossible to argue with this choice. From his debut right through the bye week, the top overall draft pick has surpassed early expectations. Newton has been just as dynamic and creative as he was in leading Auburn to the national championship and hes made the Panthers relevant again even if they are 2-6. They are not an easy out for any opponent. Runners-up: Andy Dalton, QB, Cincinnati; A.J. Green, WR, Cincinnati; Doug Baldwin, WR, Seattle; Marcus Gilbert, T, Pittsburgh; Stefan Wisniewski, G, Oakland. DEFENSIVE ROOKIE: Aldon Smith, DE-LB, San Francisco. Smith has been a force as a pass rusher and solid in run defense almost from the beginning of the season and really has stepped up the last few weeks. He played end in college but the transition to pass coverage has gone well, too; of course, it helps having star LB Patrick Willis nearby. Oddly, Smith is not a starter yet. Still, defensive coordinator Vic Fangio estimates Smith is on the field more than he is off it. Runners-up: Chris Conte, S, Chicago; Brooks Reed, LB, Houston; Ryan Kerrigan, LB, Washington; Von Miller, LB, Denver; Patrick Peterson, CB, Arizona. OFFENSIVE PLAYER: Calvin Johnson, WR, Detroit. Megatron to the Max best describes what Johnson has achieved in eight games: 11 TDs, joining Randy Moss as the only players since the 1970 merger with 11 TD catches in his teams first eight games. His combination of speed, size, moves and moxie make Johnson not only the most dangerous receiver in the league this year but the most impressive offensive player. And the competition is fierce. Johnson often draws double coverage, yet has 47 catches for 804 yards (17.1 per catch). Many of those receptions are, well, to say spectacular is an understatement. Runners-up: Aaron Rodgers, QB, Green Bay; Adrian Peterson, RB, Minnesota; Wes Welker, WR, New England; Matt Forte, RB, Chicago; Fred Jackson, RB,

for 534, 5), Nick Pauff (38 for 298, 3), Colin Blymyer (155 rushes, 802 yards, 11) and Nathon Jenkins (51-of56 extra points; 4-of-6 field goals). Defensively, the Bulldogs surrender 152.4 yards rushing (19 TDs) and 124 yards passing (9 TDs, 6 picks). Quentin Poling leads the effort with 154 total tackles (3 picks), along with Anthony Sumpter (85), Jesse Wheeler (75), Dominic Painter (71), Chance Weltz (64) and Etzler (15 punts, 577 yards, 38,5 yards per). Their offense is a tough challenge for us with their ability to spread the ball around. They make you defend the whole field, Carpenter asserted. We are going to need a big game from our defensive line. Chance, Amari (Gooding) and Ian (Dukehart) in particular must have big games, tie up blockers, and let our linebackers flow, just like last week. Offensively, we dont expect the wide-open spaces we saw last week; its going to be tough to get those big plays, so we will have to be patient. We will have to take the 5-yard gains, come back and run another play. It was a different formula last week in the opening round at Bellevue. Reggie was on; he was hitting his receivers in stride where they could make plays after the catch. It does no good to hit a receiver where its simply a possession catch, where they cant do something with the ball, Carpenter added. Our front four dominated the line of scrimmage. That allowed our linebackers to get to the ball cleanly, without interference.

The league is seeking to limit the spending options of teams above the luxury tax threshold, believing that would lead to greater competitive balance. Players want all teams to be options for free agents. When asked if theres still wiggle room on system issues, Stern replied that as of 3 a.m. Sunday there was none left. The players insisted they will not be forced into taking a bad deal by an ultimatum though Stern refused to call it that. The players are saying that we understand their position but unfortunately were not intimidated by all that, Hunter said. With more than 40 players ranging from All-Stars to minimum-salary players behind them, Fisher and Hunter dismissed Sterns warning, had hard words for Michael Jordan and repeated that they are willing to negotiate and believe they have made more than enough economic concessions to get the salary cap system they want. That message was not just for the owners. They also were speaking to the players and agents who advocate disbanding the union in an attempt to take on the league in court. Union leaders said there was very little discussion about decertification, saying they understand there would be differences of opinion with a membership of 450 but that the team representatives summoned to New York knew the best interests of their teammates. The union called the meeting after Stern issued his ultimatum early Sunday morning following an 8-hour bargaining session with a federal mediator. Fisher said 43 players, including superstars Griffin and Carmelo Anthony, attended the meeting and that 29 of the 30 teams were represented. Jordan provided perhaps the most memorable moment of the last lockout, chastising former Washington owner Abe Pollin that he should sell his team if he couldnt make a profit without concessions from players. Jordan now owns the Charlotte Bobcats and is considered one of the hardliners who never wanted Stern to offer the players a 50-50 split. I would give him the advice that he gave to Abe Pollin, Hunter added. Fisher would like to meet with Stern, believing there is room to compromise. After previously saying they wouldnt go below 52.5 percent of BRI, players said Saturday they would be willing to go down to about 51 percent, with 1 percent going to a fund for retired player benefits. They might go even further but only with some movement on the system issues. Were open to discussions, open to negotiation, Fisher added. Were open-minded about potential compromises on our number but there are things in the system that are not up for discussion that we have to have in order to able to get this season going.
Magic Johnson backs Stern after racial suggestion NEW YORK Magic Johnson said its ridiculous to suggest that Stern is racist, saying its OK to disagree with the NBA commissioner but that you cant attack the man and what he stands for. Johnson was responding to comments made by attorney Jeffrey Kessler, representing the NBA players association, who told the Washington Post that owners are treating players like plantation workers during the ongoing lockout. That was similar to the comments Bryant Gumbel made last month on his HBO show, when he claimed Stern always seemed eager to be viewed as some kind of modern plantation overseer treating NBA men as if they were his boys. But Johnson said Stern has always done right by players, noting the number of blacks such as himself, Michael Jordan and Isiah Thomas who have followed their Hall-of-Fame playing careers by going into management or ownership positions. This league is more diverse than any other league and has more minorities in powerful positions than any other league, Johnson said during a phone interview. Thats all about David Stern and his vision and what he wanted to do. He make sure minorities had high-ranking positions from the league office all the way down to coaches and front-office people. Stern did not comment, though he told the Washington Post that Kesslers conduct is routinely despicable. However, players such as Johnson and Bill Russell called the league office to support Stern, who is leading owners in a bitter dispute with the players but who has not lost their support, according to Johnson. It was David Stern who took this league worldwide. And so those guys know it was because of David Stern and what he was able to do, Johnson said. Johnson recalled it was Stern who offered him a place in the 1992 NBA All-Star game, even over some players wishes after he had retired the previous November because of HIV. And it was Stern who included Johnson that summer on the Dream Team that won the Olympic gold medal. And it was Stern, he added, who called him after Johnsons comments about Thomas in his book ignited a public feud between the longtime

Buffalo. DEFENSIVE PLAYER: LaMarr Woodley, LB, Steelers. Woodley is dealing with a left hamstring problem, about the only thing to slow him this season. Forget James Harrison or Troy Polamalu, Woodley has been the best and most influential player on the Steel Curtain. Its amazing how Pittsburgh always seems to find the perfect linebacker for its system. Woodley is dynamite as a pass rusher, in coverage and, especially, against the run. He has become a leader on a defense not lacking for them, and hes only in his fifth year. Runners-up: Jared Allen, DE, Minnesota; Darrelle Revis, CB, New York Jets; Haloti Ngata, DT, Baltimore; DeMarcus Ware, LB, Dallas; Patrick Willis, LB, San Francisco. COMEBACK PLAYER: Steve Smith, WR, Carolina. Nobody has been recharged more than Smith, who was expecting to ask out of Carolina after last seasons 2-win season. He even contemplated retirement. Now, energized by the addition of Newton and a new coaching staff, Smith is as dangerous and dynamic as ever. He is averaging 20 yards a reception for his 46 catches, has scored four times and also has provided guidance for Newton and several other younger Panthers in what could be his fifth Pro Bowl season. Runners-up: Will Smith, DE, New Orleans; Matthew Stafford, QB, Detroit; Chris Houston, CB, Detroit; Alex Smith, QB, San Francisco; DeMeco Ryans, LB, Houston. COACH: Jim Harbaugh, San Francisco. A valid argument can be made for a handful of coaches whose teams have either surged unexpectedly in the standings (Detroit, Buffalo, Cincinnati), improved exponentially from a very good to great team (Green Bay), or overcome a slew of injuries and some locker room tension to be in first place (New York Giants). The best job has been done by a rookie. Harbaugh not only has changed the mindset and attitude in the Bay Area with his enthusiasm but hes turned Alex Smith into a serviceable and, more significantly, winning quarterback. When theres somebody who brings something like that to the table, it gives you, I dont know if its confidence or if it just gives that joy in going out and playing that hard, punter Andy Lee said. You want to go out and play for this guy. Runners-up: Jim Schwartz, Detroit; Tom Coughlin, New York Giants; Marvin Lewis, Cincinnati; Mike McCarthy, Green Bay; Chan Gailey, Buffalo. ASSISTANT COACH: Mike Zimmer, defensive coordinator, Cincinnati.

NEW YORK NBA players made it clear Tuesday: No deal. No fear of Commissioner David Sterns ultimatum, either. The current offer on the table from the NBA is one that we cannot accept, players association president Derek Fisher said. Instead, the players said they will ask for another meeting with owners before Sterns Wednesday afternoon deadline and sound willing to agree to a 50-50 split of revenues under the right circumstances in an attempt to end the lockout and save the season. In an interview on NBA TV, Stern said that whether he agrees to meet would be guided by the labor relations committee. A month of the season has already been lost and the NBA risks losing fans without an agreement soon. Some already appear to have forgotten: Blake Griffin, last seasons rookie of the year, stood around in the lobby of a busy hotel off Broadway and was rarely approached by fans. The leagues current proposal calls for players to receive between 49 percent and 51 percent of basketballrelated income, though union officials argue it would be nearly impossible to get above 50.2 percent. The players are clearly of the mind that its an unacceptable proposal, union executive director Billy Hunter said. But because of their commitment to the game and their desire to play, theyre saying to us that we want you to go back, see if you can go back, get a better deal. If players dont take the deal by 5 p.m. today, the next offer will call for salary rollbacks, a 53-47 revenue split in the owners favor and essentially a hard salary cap. Our proposal on the table now goes away (Wednesday), Stern added. Our next proposal will then go to the players and we will see where negotiations go. Players are willing to negotiate further on the revenue split if they get some concessions on the salary cap system. Without them, Fisher asserted

The Associated Press ST. LOUIS Jaroslav Halak shrugged off his shaky start to the season, making 29 saves as the St. Louis Blues won coach Ken Hitchcocks debut with a 3-0 victory over the Chicago Blackhawks on Tuesday night. Chris Stewart scored on the power play to end a 10-game goal drought. Vladimir

Sobotka and T.J. Oshie also scored and Barret Jackman had two assists for the Blues, whose 6-7 start cost coach Davis Payne his job. Stewarts deflection in the second period was only the fourth goal in 41 power-play opportunities for St. Louis, which entered as the NHLs worst team with the man advantage.

friends, urging Johnson to work it out. Stern, 69, is likely nearing his final years on the job after becoming commissioner on Feb. 1, 1984, just as Johnson and Larry Bird were renewing the long-time rivalry between the Lakers and Boston Celtics. Johnson said hes tired of people taking shots at Stern, especially because so many of them have jobs connected to the NBA that Stern created. Hall-of Famer Easy Ed Macauley dies at 83 ST. LOUIS Ed Macauley, one of the NBAs first big stars who won a championship with the St. Louis Hawks and was traded by the Boston Celtics for Bill Russell, has died. He was 83. Saint Louis University announced Macauleys death on Tuesday. The school had no other details. Easy Ed was a standout player with the Billikens, leading them to the 1948 NIT title. Macauley was elected to the Naismith Memorial Hall of Fame in 1960. A native of St. Louis, he was a territorial pick of that citys Basketball Association of America franchise, the Bombers. He played there for one season and then was selected by the Celtics in a 1950 dispersal draft. Macauley played for the Celtics from the 1950-51 season until 195556. He and the draft rights to future Hall-of-Famer Cliff Hagan were traded by Boston to the St. Louis Hawks on April 29, 1956, for the rights to Russell, a move that changed the power structure of the NBA. The Celtics went on to win 11 titles with Russell dominating in the paint. After the deal, Macauley and the Hawks faced Russell and the Celtics in consecutive NBA finals. Boston won in 1957, then the Hawks took the crown in 1958. The 6-8 Macauley, who had his No. 22 retired by the Celtics, played three seasons with the Hawks before retiring with a career average of 17.5 points per game. He was a 7-time All-Star, six of the appearances with Boston. He was the MVP of the first NBA All-Star game in 1951. He coached the Hawks for two seasons, compiling an 89-48 record with two playoff appearances. Macauley scored 24 points as Saint Louis University, which finished with a 24-3 record under first-year coach Ed Hickey, beat New York University in the 1948 NIT championship game at Madison Square Garden. Three days later, the team arrived at Union Station by train and was greeted by 15,000 fans for a parade. It was like a fairy tale, Macauley told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. St. Louis never had seen anything like that. But we didnt really feel special. It was family, all those people, and you dont feel special with family. The next season Saint Louis, with Macauley starring inside, was ranked No. 1 in The Associated Press poll. He was a first-team All-America selection as a junior and senior. He still ranks 10th on Saint Louis career scoring list with 1,402 points. After his basketball career ended, Macauley worked as an investment banker and a television sportscaster. In 1989, he co-authored a book about writing homilies. When he got his star on the St. Louis Walk of Fame in 2003, he told the story about how he got his nickname when he was a sophomore at Saint Louis. It was the first time I was appointed captain, Macauley explained. We dressed in the basement of West Pine Gym and it was my role to lead the team from the basement locker room through the door. But nobody followed me when I ran down the court and made a layup. Then I heard people shout Take it easy, Ed. I didnt realize it but they were playing the national anthem. That Easy Ed nickname helped me get a lot of attention.

Red Wings 5, Avalanche 2

DETROIT Johan Franzen scored three goals and Detroit rolled over Colorado. Detroit has won two straight with a combined 10 goals after scoring a total of six in a 6-game skid following a 5-0 start. Nicklas Lidstrom started the scoring midway through the first period. Franzen gave the Red Wings a 3-goal lead in the second period and chased goalie Semyon Varlamov.

Dan Cleary scored off his own rebound against Jean-Sebastien Giguere to essentially seal the win with 5:14 left. Milan Hejduk pulled the Avalanche within two goals a couple minutes later but Franzen scored an empty-netter goal with 31.3 seconds left after Giguere was pulled for an extra skater. Gabriel Landeskog scored the only goal for the Avs, who are in a 1-5-1 slide.

AP Source: Paterno to retire at end of season

By GENARO C. ARMAS The Associated Press
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. Penn State football coach Joe Paterno has decided to retire at the end of the season, according to a person familiar with the decision. The person said Paterno will announce his retirement later today, speaking to The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity because the decision has yet to be announced. Paterno has been besieged by criticism since former defensive coordinator and 1-time heir apparent Jerry Sandusky was charged over the weekend with molesting eight young boys between 1994 and 2009. Athletic director Tim Curley and vice president Gary Schultz have been charged with failing to notify authorities after an eyewitness reported a 2002 assault. Paterno decided to retire at age 84, in the middle of his 46th season with the Lions. He won 409 games, a record for major-college football, but now, the grandfatherly coach known as Joe Pa, who had painstakingly burnished a reputation for winning the right way, leaves the only school hes ever coached in disgrace. But Paterno might not be able to execute his exit strategy as the schools board of trustees is considering its options, which could include forcing Paterno to leave immediately. Paterno has not been accused of legal wrongdoing. But he has been assailed, in what the state police commissioner called a lapse of moral responsibility, for not doing more to stop Sandusky, whose attorney maintains his clients innocence. Paterno has been questioned over his apparent failure to follow up on a report of the 2002 incident, in which Sandusky allegedly sodomized a 10-yearold boy in the showers at the teams football complex. A witness, Mike McQueary, is currently receivers coach for the team but was a graduate assistant at the time. Paterno told the athletic director, Tim Curley, who has since stepped down and was charged with lying to the state grand jury investigating the case. The Penn State vice president has also been charged and the university president could follow. But in the place known as Happy Valley, none held the same status as Paterno. And in the end, he could not withstand the backlash from a scandal that goes well beyond the everyday stories of corruption in college sports. If this is true, we were all fooled, along with scores of professionals trained in such things, and we grieve for the victims and their families, Paterno said Sunday, after the news broke, in a prepared statement. They are in our prayers. The coach defended his decision to take the news to his athletic director. Paterno said it was obvious that the graduate student was distraught but added the graduate student did not tell him about the very specific actions in the grand jury report. After Paterno reported the incident to Curley, Sandusky was told to stay away from the school but critics say the coach should have done more tried to identify and help the victim, for example, or alerted authorities. Here we are again, John Salveson, former president of the Pennsylvania chapter of the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests, said in an interview earlier this week. When an institution discovers abuse of a kid, their first reaction was to protect the reputation of the institution and the perpetrator. Paternos requirement that his players not just achieve success but adhere to a moral code, that they win with honor, transcended his sport. Mike Krzyzewski, the Duke basketball coach, said in June for an ESPN special on Paterno: Values are never compromised. Thats the bottom line. His sudden departure leaves both his fans and detractors to ask who the real Joe Pa was. Was he a gentle once-in-alifetime leader with a knack for molding champions? Or was he simply another gridiron pragmatist, a detached football CEO, his sense of right and wrong diluted by decades of coddling from yes men paid to make his problems disappear. It will be a debate for years and history will decide whether the enduring image will be that of Paterno surrounded by all those reporters as he hurried to practice this week, or his signature look on the sidelines. Rolled-up khakis. Jet-black sneakers. Smoky, thick glasses. That famous Brooklyn accent that came off only as whiny as he wanted it to be. Along the road to the wins record, Paterno turned Penn State into one of the games best-known programs and the standard-bearer for college football success in the East. National titles in 1982 and 1986 cemented him as one of the games greats. In all, Paterno guided five teams to unbeaten, untied seasons, and he reached 300 wins faster than any other coach. Elite status finally arrived in the 1980s. The Nittany Lions claimed national titles in 1982, with a 27-23 win over Georgia at the Sugar Bowl, and in 1986, intercepting Miamis Vinny Testaverde five times in a 14-10 win at the Fiesta Bowl. They have made several title runs since then, including the 2005 run to the Orange Bowl and an 11-1 regularseason campaign in 2008 that

ended with a trip to the Rose Bowl and a 37-23 loss to Southern California. He will go down as the greatest football coach in the history of the game. Every young coach, in my opinion, can take a lesson from him, former Florida coach Urban Meyer said after his last game with the Gators, a 37-24 win over Penn State at the 2011 Outback Bowl. Paternos longevity became all the more remarkable as college football transformed into a big-money business. The school estimated there have been at least 888 head coaching changes at FBS schools since Paterno took the job. He is the all-time leader in bowl appearances (37) and wins (24). And he sent more than 250 players to the NFL. On Oct. 29, Penn State beat Illinois 10-7, earning Paterno win No. 409, breaking a tie with Grambling States Eddie Robinson for most in Division I. The terms of his departure conflict significantly with the reputation he built over nearly a half-century of turning a quaint program into a powerhouse with instant name recognition.

We have been ready to go but the union continues its delaying tactics. Patriots release DL Albert Haynesworth FOXBOROUGH, Mass. The New England Patriots took just half a season to decide they didnt need Albert Haynesworth. Two days after he sat out most of the second half against the New York Giants, the Patriots released the defensive lineman they obtained after his rocky 2-year stay with the Washington Redskins. In six games with the Patriots, Haynesworth had just three tackles and no sacks. His last play came in Sundays 24-20 loss to the Giants when left guard David Diehl blocked him to clear the way for Brandon Jacobs 10-yard touchdown run with 9:10 left in the third quarter. Belichick didnt mention Haynesworth during his regular Tuesday conference call. About 4 1/2 hours later, the team announced Haynesworths release. The Boston Herald first reported the news. The Patriots are 5-3, tied for first in the AFC East with the Buffalo Bills and New York Jets, and have been ranked last in the NFL in defense most of the season. They still have another underachieving high-profile acquisition, WR Chad Ochocinco. They obtained the 6-time Pro Bowl player from the Cincinnati Bengals the same day they acquired Haynesworth. Ochocinco has just nine catches for 136 yards and no touchdowns. The Patriots have good depth on the defensive line with Vince Wilfork, Andre Carter, Shaun Ellis, Mark Anderson, Gerard Warren and Kyle Love. They also recently activated two defensive linemen from the physically-unable-to-perform list: Brandon Deaderick, who has played two games, and Ron Brace, who has played one.

Rookie center Adam Henrique scored with 3:19 left to lift New Jersey over Carolina. The Devils earned their third straight win and the Hurricanes dropped their third straight. Henrique inadvertently sent Joni Pitkanens pass past Martin Brodeur for a goal that tied the game at 2-2 at 6:06 of the third period. Henrique made up by skating around goalie Cam Ward and sliding the puck under him for the winning goal. It was the rookies second straight game-winner. Dainius Zubrus and Petr Sykora also scored for New Jersey. Brandon Sutter had a short-handed goal for Carolina. Sabres 6, Jets 5, OT BUFFALO, N.Y. Thomas Vanek scored a power-play goal 4:35 into overtime, tipping in Jason Pominvilles shot, in Buffalos victory over Winnipeg.

Vanek scored twice and Pominville finished with a goal and two assists. Derek Roy had two goals and an assist, forcing overtime by scoring a power-play goal with 6:08 left in regulation to help Buffalo extend its winning streak to three. Bryan Little scored twice and Dustin Byfuglien and Tanner Glass each had a goal and an assist for the Jets, who went 3-2-2 on their longest road trip of the season. Panthers 5, Maple Leafs 1 TORONTO Florida took advantage of shaky Toronto goalie Jonas Gustavsson and routed the Maple Leafs. Jack Skille, Marco Sturm, Tomas Kopecky, Sean Bergenheim and Shawn Matthias had the goals for Florida (7-4-3), off to its best start since the 1996-97 season. The Maple Leafs (9-5-1), struggling without injured goalie James Reimer, were booed by the home fans for the second straight game after Gustavsson surrendered three soft goals.

After being used as working capital, the money is returned to members as patronage capital refunds. It represents each co-op members ownership or equity in their cooperative. Patronage capital is allocated to members in proportion to

reduces your mpg by up to 2 percent. Use websites like GasBuddy.com (which has free smartphone apps) and GasPriceWatch.com, where motorists share up-to-theminute tips on where to find low-priced fuel. Health care tips Consider generic vs. brand-name drugs; copayments are usually much lower. Medtipster.com lets you search for generics by cost, by local zip code. Ask whether your insurance offers quantity discounts for mail-order prescriptions. Often, the copayment for a 60- or 90-day supply is the same as a 30-day supply at a regular pharmacy. Ask your doctor about pill-splitting. Many drugs come in double-dosage tablets that cost the same as a lower dosage. (Caution: Some pills should never be split, so always ask your doctor or pharmacist first.)

Ahmadinejad: Iran wont retreat from nuclear path

By ALI AKBAR DAREINI The Associated Press TEHRAN, Iran President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad vowed today that Iran wont retreat one iota from its nuclear program, denying claims that it seeks atomic weapons. Key ally Russia gave the Islamic Republic a major boost, rejecting tighter sanctions despite a U.N. watchdog report detailing suspected arms-related advances. In his first reaction to the report, Ahmadinejad strongly chided the U.N. International Atomic Energy Agency a day after it claimed Tehran was on the brink of developing a nuclear weapon saying the IAEA is discrediting itself by siding with absurd U.S. accusations. The comments, broadcast live on state TV, were a sharp rebuke to Western warnings that Iran appears to be engaged in a dangerous defiance of international demands to control the Islamic Republics nuclear ambitions. In Paris, Foreign Minister Alain Juppe said France would support boosting sanctions against Tehran to an unprecedented scale if Iran stonewalls investigations, even as Israel and others say that military options are still possible. But Russia, which has veto-wielding power on the

U.N. Security Council, said new sanctions would be unacceptable. Any additional sanctions against Iran would be perceived by the international community as an instrument for regime change in Tehran, deputy Foreign Minister Gennady Gatilov told the Interfax news agency, adding that Russia does not intend to consider such proposals. Gatilov said Russia believes that dialogue with Iran is the only way forward. Israels government remained silent over the report, apparently seeking to keep the focus on international pressures and avoid turning the report into a specific showdown between Israel and Iran. Meanwhile, Irans other chief ally, China, issued cautious statements calling for diplomacy and dialogue. This nation wont retreat one iota from the path it is going, Ahmadinejad told thousands of people in Shahre-Kord in central Iran. Why are you ruining the prestige of the (U.N. nuclear) agency for absurd U.S. claims? A conservative Iranian lawmaker later threatened that the parliament could force the government to pull out of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, or NPT, as a response to the report by IAEA chief Yukiya Amano.

of the bill, which would have limited the bargaining abilities of 350,000 unionized public workers. The health care vote was largely symbolic. Voters chose to let the state opt out of a provision of the 2009 federal health care overhaul, which mandates that most Americans purchase health care a decision thats not really a states decision. Dale Butland, a spokesman of opponents, said the campaign was based on a lie about the Obama-backed bill. And because of that lie, the amendment weve now added to the Ohio constitution will jeopardize and possibly invali-

date a host of already existing laws and regulations that we rely on to protect the vulnerable, ensure public health, and regulate the medical and insurance professions, he said in a statement. Ohio voters also rejected allowing judges to remain on the bench through age 75, keeping the age limit at 70 and potentially affecting 10 percent of sitting judges over the next six years. The fight over the collective bargaining law attracted unprecedented attention for a non-presidential or gubernatorial election year. The effort to turn back the bargaining law pitted unions representing police, firefighters, teachers, prison guards and other government employ-

ees against Republicans at the Statehouse seeking to limit labors reach and reduce government costs. The measure, which appeared as Issue 2 on the ballot, would have allowed bargaining on wages, conditions and some equipment. It would have outlawed public worker strikes, scraps binding arbitration and prevents promotions based solely on seniority. We Are Ohio, the unionbacked coalition opposing the law, had raised $24 million as of mid-October, building off anger over the bill that prompted days of Statehouse protests earlier this year. Building a Better Ohio, the proponent committee, reported raising about $8 million.

Russians desperately try to save Mars moon probe

MOSCOW (AP) A Russian space probe aiming to land on a Mars moon was stuck circling the Earth after equipment failure today, and scientists raced to fire up its engines before the whole thing came crashing down. One U.S. space expert said the craft could become the most dangerous manmade object ever to hit the planet. The unmanned PhobosGround craft was successfully launched by a Zenit-2 booster rocket just after midnight Moscow time today (2016 GMT Tuesday) from the Russianleased Baikonur cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. It separated from the booster about 11 minutes later and was to fire its engines twice to set out on its path to the Red Planet, but never did. Russias Federal Space Agency chief Vladimir Popovkin said neither of the two engine burns worked, probably due to the failure of the crafts orientation system. He said space engineers have three days to reset the spacecrafts computer program to make it work before its batteries die. The mishap is the latest in a series of recent launch failures that have raised con-

cerns about the condition of Russias space industries. The Russian space agency said it will establish its own quality inspection teams at rocket factories to tighten oversight over production quality. The $170 million PhobosGround was Russias first interplanetary mission since a botched 1996 robotic mission to Mars, which failed when the probe crashed shortly after the launch due to an engine failure. Mars has two moons, Phobos and Deimos, and the latest spacecraft aimed to take ground samples on Phobos. James Oberg, a NASA veteran who now works as a space consultant, said its still possible to regain control over the Russia space probe. With several days of battery power, and with the probes orbit slowly twisting out of the optimal alignment with the desired path towards Mars, the race is on to regain control, diagnose the potential computer code flaws, and send up emergency rocket engine control commands, Oberg said in an email to The Associated Press. Depending on the actual root of the failure, this is not an impossible challenge.

Lump in throat is usually the result of reflux or allergies

DEAR DOCTOR K: I often get the feeling theres a lump in my throat. Sometimes in the morning Ill cough up mucus, but it doesnt make the feeling go away. What can I do to get rid of this feeling? DEAR READER: Some use the expression a lump in my throat to describe experiencing a strong emotion such as grief or gratitude. But, as youve discovered, this feeling can be an annoying problem that has nothing to do with how youre feeling at the moment. Your problem is one of those minor maladies that we know only a little about, because medical research tends to focus on major diseases rather than symptoms that constantly bug us, like this one. Because you say you sometimes cough up mucus, Id say the most likely explanation is that you have allergies that are causing the extra mucus. While you sleep, that mucus collects in the back of your throat. Thats why you tend to spit it up in the mornings. The treatment is allergy pills and inhalers. Another cause is acid reflux from your stomach into your throat. This can irritate your throat and create the feeling of a

lump. A bitter taste in your mouth can be a clue that you may have reflux. An allergy to a medication can cause irritation and swelling in the throat. Switching to another medicine can help. A food allergy is another possibility. I had a patient who got a lump in her throat and swollen lips any time she ate a mango. Finally, there is an unusual condition in which a pouch forms in the wall of the back of the throat, where food can collect. This condition is easily diagnosed and treated, usually by an ear, nose and throat specialist. If a patient came to me with a complaint like yours, my red-flag question would be whether this feeling is accompanied by difficulty swallowing.

Tomorrows Horoscope
THURSDAY, NOV. 10, 2011 It behooves you to associate as much as you can in the year ahead with those who could help advance your interests or objectives. Do so by being friendly and accepting help only when and if you really need it. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Being domineering can lead to complications with those who share your day. It can be particularly destructive if you encounter someone who is a trifle more forceful than you. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Even if it causes you some major inconvenience, dont let down those who are depending upon you. Meet your obligations like the responsible person you are. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Dont coerce a friend to agree with you when you know that she or he isnt in accord with your thinking. It does nothing but cause your pal to resent being put in that position. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -An important goal can be achievable when you get past all your doubt and inadequacy. If you want to win, you must think in terms of victory. Otherwise failure takes over. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- If experience has taught you that a certain topic agitates a friend, stay off of it or refuse to engage if another brings it up. Failing to do so could cause a nasty dust-up. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Be on your toes, because someone who knows how to manipulate your generous nature could get you to spend some of your hard-earned money on themselves. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- If you cant avoid dealing with someone who has a faculty for getting under your skin, be as tactful as you can. When this person makes an aggravating comment, consider the source. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -Its going to just be one of those days when neglected duties or commitments are likely to catch up with you. When numerous things clamor for your attention, take it in stride and calmly do one at a time. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Even if the position you take is an unpopular one, dont let your peers pressure you into doing something that goes against your better judgment. Its not worth it. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Keep a cool head when things go awry at home, and encourage other family members to do the same. Unpleasant events can get worse when theyre allowed to run wild. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -Dont allow yourself to blow up over something that youve handled with tolerance up until now. Continue to keep a cool head and encourage others to ice their noggins as well. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -People are a bit touchy right now, making any commercial dealings a bit trickier than usual. If youre involved with someone who is having a hard time keeping cool, help him or her by smiling copiously.

Air Force morgue lost body parts

By ROBERT BURNS AP National Security Writer WASHINGTON The Dover military mortuary entrusted with the solemn duty of receiving and caring for Americas war dead twice lost body parts of remains shipped home from Afghanistan, the Air Force revealed Tuesday. Three mortuary supervisors have been punished for what the Air Force called gross mismanagement, but no one was fired in a grisly case reminiscent of the scandalous mishandling and misidentifying of remains at Arlington National Cemetery. The Air Force, which runs the mortuary at Dover, Del., acknowledged failures while insisting it made the right decision in not informing families linked to the missing body parts until last weekend months after it completed a probe of 14 sets of allegations lodged by three members of the mortuary staff. Gen. Norton Schwartz, the Air Force chief of staff, told a Pentagon news conference he and the services top civilian, Michael Donley, are ultimately responsible for what happens at Dover and for its mistakes. Theres no escaping it, Schwartz said. However, an independent federal investigative agency, the Office of Special Counsel, said the Air Force had fallen short on accountability. That office, which forwarded the original whistleblower allegations to the Pentagon in May and July 2010 and reviewed the subsequent Air Force investigative report, faulted it for taking an overly narrow view of what went wrong at Dover between 2008 and 2010. Several of the Air Forces findings are not supported by the evidence presented and thus do not appear reasonable, the special counsels office said. In these instances the report demonstrates a pattern of the Air Forces failure to acknowledge culpability for wrongdoing relating to the treatment of remains. Special Counsel Carolyn Lerner said her office is investigating allegations by the three whistleblowers that the Air Force retaliated against them in several ways, including an attempt to fire one of them. The three whistleblowers still work at Dover. They are James Parsons, an embalming/autopsy technician; Mary Ellen Spera, a mortuary inspector; and William Zwicharowski, a senior mortuary inspector. There is no suggestion of criminal wrongdoing at Dover, and the Air Force said it found no evidence that those faulted at Dover had deliberately mishandled any remains. They attributed the mistakes largely to a breakdown in procedures and a failure to fix problems that had been building over time. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta issued a statement saying he was deeply disturbed by the matter. Panetta said he supports the Air Forces findings but has asked a separate panel of the Defense Health Board, a Pentagon advisory group, to conduct its own review of how the Dover mortuary is run. That review, to be led by former surgeon general Dr. Richard Carmona, is due within 60 days. As gruesome as the revelations appear, Schwartz acknowledged that its possible that mistakes also were made prior to 2008, during a period when U.S. troops were killed at even higher rates in Iraq. Other Air Force officials said on Monday they knew of no prior cases of mishandled remains at Dover.

I cannot certify with certainty that prior performance met our standard of perfection, Schwartz told reporters. At Dover all U.S. war dead are received in wellpracticed procedures that place a premium on a dignified and respectful handling of remains. Medical examiners then carry out procedures to positively identify remains and determine the cause of death. Teams of morticians and embalmers then prepare the remains for disposition. Investigators found a disconnect between the work of the medical examiners and the morticians, each of which reports to a different military chain of command. One of the two cases of missing parts was in April 2009. It involved fragments of ankle bone embedded in human tissue associated with two crew members recovered from an Air Force F-15 fighter that crashed in Afghanistan. The labeled plastic bag containing this portion of remains was found empty during normal processing, with a slit in the side of the bag. Staff members were unable to account for the missing piece.
