More fiscal clashes loomBY DAVID ESPOThe Associated Press

WASHINGTON (AP) — A new Con-gress opened for business Thursday toconfront long-festering national prob-lems, deficits and immigration amongthem, in an intensely partisan and cri-sis-driven era of divided government.“The American dream is in peril,” said

House Speaker John Boehner, re-electedto his post despite a mini-revolt in Re-publican ranks.

Moments after grasping an oversizedgavel that symbolizes his authority,Boehner implored the assembly of new-comers and veterans in the 113th Con-gress to tackle the nation’s heavy burdenof debt at long last. “We have to be willing— truly willing — to make this right.”

Also on the two-year agenda is thefirst significant effort at an overhaul ofthe tax code in more than a quarter cen-tury. Republicans and Democrats alikesay they want to chop at a thicket of ex-isting tax breaks and use the resultingrevenue to reduce rates.

that the budget is about $25,000less than the existing prosecutor’soffice. Sell’s salary is $58,234 for2013, based on the fact that he in-tends to work as a part-time pros-ecutor and maintain a privatepractice. Bauer had no privatepractice while prosecutor and waspaid $104,135 in 2012. Also lastyear, assistant prosecutor salariestotaled $156,356, compared tothose of Sell’s assistants whichtotal $190,678, an increase of$34,321.“It’s by design,” Sell said, refer-

ring to cost saving measures. “I’mgoing to be a prosecutor with aprivate practice. The salary that Ireceive will be significantly lessthan Mr. Bauer.” Sell campaignedon the fact that he would be apart-time prosecutor. BecauseBauer was a full-time prosecutor,the county received $20,000 peryear compensation from the Stateof Ohio. These funds will nolonger be forthcoming becausethe prosecutor and his assistantsare part-time. Sell stressed that“we want to keep a clear line be-tween the prosecutor’s office andour private practice.”As part of the change, the Pros-

ecutor’s Office will now be locatedin the former Shelby County Vic-tim Services office in the ShelbyCounty Courthouse basement.The Victim Services office willmove to the law library locateddown the hall from the prosecu-tor’s office.

The Prosecutor’s Office will beopen between 8:30 a.m. and 5p.m. Monday through Friday.Phone calls will be taken duringthose hours. Sell’s private prac-tice will continue to be located at108 E. Poplar St.Sell said it is his understand-

ing there has been a delay incases. “I think law enforcementhas been waiting on indict-ing….until we take over.” He saidlaw enforcement has been “hold-ing off” but declined to speculateas to the reason. Sidney PoliceChief Kevin Gessler did not re-spond to a request for commenton the matter.Sell said that Bill Zimmerman

Jr. will act as his chief prosecutor,with former Assistant ProsecutorJeff Beigel joining the staff toserve as chief attorney on civilcases. Breann Zickafoose willhandle Shelby County Children’sServices cases primarily for ap-peal and she will also be respon-sible to work with female sexcrime victims.Also joining the prosecutor’s

staff will be Heath Hegemann,who will handle juvenile delin-quency prosecution and assistShelby County Treasurer LindaMeininger in collecting money.Salaries will be paid as follows:Zimmerman and Beigel, $50,000each and Zickafoose and Hege-mann, $43,000 each. Also work-ing in the prosecutor’s office willbe Pam Kerrigan, who has had

extensive experience working forthe Prosecutor’s Office and willcontinue in that role processingfelonies. She will work full time at$36,006 annually. Kathy Georgewill handle collections for thecounty and also help cross-trainthe staff and organize the office.She will be a part-time employeeand will have a salary of $24,000,of which $20,000 will be paidfrom the DTAX fund.Others to work in the office in-

clude:• Janell Rindler, an assistant

who will also continue as officemanager at $24,000 .• Heather Roe-McClain, who

will work with Beigel on civilmatters part time at $14,000.• Pat Berger, a part-time para-

legal who had previously workedfor the public defender’s office.She will have a salary of $25,000.• Stacey Cottrell, who will as-

sist with Children’s Servicescases and be the receptionist andwork in the front office. A full-time position, she will be paid$21,000.Sell said he is looking forward

to his new job. “I’ve been the pub-lic defender for 18 years. I’m look-ing forward to switching hats. I’vealready met with the local offi-cials and township trustees.” “Iwant to have a really good staff ofpeople to help me get the jobdone.

HOUSE MINORITY Leader Nancy Pelosi of Calif.applauds after handing the gavel to HouseSpeaker John Boehner of Ohio who was re-electedas House Speaker of the 113th Congress, Thurs-day on Capitol Hill in Washington.

swore an oath of office asold as the republic.

Sens. Heidi Heitkampof North Dakota, Eliza-beth Warren of Massa-chusetts, TammyBaldwin of Wisconsin,Mazie Hirono of Hawaiiand Deb Fischer of Ne-braska were among thenewcomers sworn in,raising the number ofwomen in the Senate to arecord 20. Tim Scott ofSouth Carolina becamethe first black Republi-can in the Senate inmorethan three decades.

On the first day of anew term, one veteranmade a stirring come-back. Republican Sen.Mark Kirk of Illinois re-turned to the Capitol forthe first time since suf-fering a stroke a year ago,walking slowly up the 45steps to the Capitol withthe use of a cane. “Goodto see you, guys,” he said.

Across the Capitol,children and grandchil-dren squirmed throughopening formalities thatended with Boehner’selection as the most pow-erful Republican in a gov-ernmentwhere PresidentBarack Obama will soonbe sworn in to a secondterm and his fellow De-mocrats control the Sen-ate.

“At $16 trillion andrising, our national debtis draining free enter-prise and weakening theship of state,” said theOhio Republican, whosestruggles to control hismembers persisted to thefinal weekend of the112th Congress when“fiscal cliff” legislation fi-nally cleared. “TheAmer-ican dream is in peril solong as its namesake isweighed down by this an-chor of debt. Break itshold and we will begin toset our economy free.Jobs will come home.Confidence will comeback.”

Senate MajorityLeader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said he, too, is ready

for attempts to rein infederal spending, but laiddown a few conditions.“Any future budget agree-ments must balance theneed for thoughtfulspending reductions withrevenue from the wealth-iest among us and closingwasteful tax loopholes,”he said.That was in keep-ing with Obama’s re-marks after Congress hadagreed on fiscal cliff legis-lation to raise taxes forthe wealthy while keep-ing them level for themiddle class.

Boehner and SenateRepublican Leader MitchMcConnell have otherideas, both having said inrecent days that the daysof raising taxes are over.

“Now is the time to getserious about spending,”McConnell said. “And ifthe past few weeks havetaught us anything, thatmeans the presidentneeds to show up earlythis time.” People won’t“tolerate the kind of last-minute crises that we’veseen again and again overthe past four years as aresult of this president’schronic inactivity and re-fusal to lead on the press-ing issues of the day.”

While neither Boehnernor Reid mentioned im-migration in their open-ing-day speeches, Obamais expected to highlightthe issue in the first Stateof the Union address ofhis new term.Lawmakersare already working to-ward a compromise theyhope can clear bothhouses.

Most Democrats havelong favored legislation togivemillions of illegal im-migrants a chance at citi-zenship, and Republicanshave stoutly resisted.Now, though, manywithin the GOP appearready to reconsider, afterwatching with alarm asObama ran up an esti-mated 71 percent of theHispanic vote in winningre-election over MittRomney in November.

Farm billextension

evidence oflost cloutWASHINGTON (AP)

—A patchwork extensionof federal farm programspassed as part of a larger“fiscal cliff” bill keeps theprice of milk from risingbut doesn’t include manyof the goodies that farm-state lawmakers are usedto getting for their ruraldistricts.

House and SenateAgriculture Committeeleaders who spent morethan a year working on ahalf-trillion-dollar, five-year farm bill that wouldkeep subsidies flowinghad to accept in the finalhours a slimmed-down,nine-month extension of2008 law with few extrasfor anyone.

With the new Con-gress opening Thursday,they’ll have to start thefarm bill process overagain, most likely witheven less money for agri-culture programs thisyear and the recognitionthat farm interests havelost some of the politicalclout they once held.

“I think there’s a lot ofhurt feelings, that all ofthis time and energy wasput into it and you’ve gotnothing to show for it,”said Roger Johnson, pres-ident of the NationalFarmers Union.

Senate AgricultureCommittee ChairwomanDebbie Stabenow, D-Mich., said it even morebluntly on the Senatefloor just after shelearned that the bare-bones extension would bepart of the fiscal cliffdeal.

“There is no way to ex-plain this,” she said an-grily as the deal cametogether New Year’s Eve.“None. There is ab-solutely no way to explainthis other than agricul-ture is just not a priority.”

After Congress failedto pass a farm bill earlierlast year, the legislationbecame tangled in theend-of-the-year fiscal clifftalks as dairy subsidieswere set to expire Jan. 1and send the price of milkto $6 or $7 a gallon, dou-ble current prices.

OHIO NEWS BRIEFS

Judge dismisses caseCOLUMBUS (AP) — A judge has dismissed an

Ohio jail inmate’s claims that deputies used exces-sive force when shocking him with a stun gun atthe jail and later at a hospital.The allegations by Michael Reed were among

several claims of unconstitutional use of stun gunsbrought in the past two years by inmates at theFranklin County Jail.Reed said deputies improperly used a stun gun

when trying to remove him from his cell for a med-ical appointment following a seizure on Jan. 29,2009 and again later in the day at the hospital.Columbus federal judge Edmund Sargus said

Wednesday that deputies responded appropriatelyto control Reed and that Reed’s claims of excessiveforce aren’t backed up by video evidence.

Obama declares major disasterin Ohio after Sandy

CLEVELAND (AP) — President Barack Obamahas declared a major disaster in Ohio following Su-perstorm Sandy and ordered federal aid to help inrecovery efforts in areas affected by the storm.The federal funds freed by Obama’s order Thurs-

day will be available on a cost-sharing basis forstate and local governments, and certain privatenonprofit organizations in Cuyahoga (ky-uh-HOH’-guh) County, home to Cleveland.Federal funding is also available for hazard mit-

igation measures statewide.About 250,000 Ohio electricity customers were

left in the dark after high winds from Sandy’s outerbands uprooted trees and brought down power linesfrom Oct. 29-30.

Marathon sets one-dayregistration record

DAYTON (AP) — Organizers of Ohio’s Air ForceMarathon say they set a one-day registrationrecord for the event with more than 5,000 peoplesigning up on New Year’s Day.Marathon Director Rob Aguiar also predicts the

race will sell out by the end of April, ahead of lastyear’s sell-out in May.The Dayton Daily News reports Thursday that

organizers offered a one-day online discount Tues-day to attract runners to sign up early for themarathon or half-marathon on Sept. 21 at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base and a 5K race on Sept. 20at Wright State University.Organizers raised the number of total runners to

15,000 last year because of growing demand.The event is in its 17th year.

Judge rules in favor offamily in autism lawsuitCINCINNATI (AP)—The state

of Ohio must provide speech ther-apy and other services to an autis-tic southwest Ohio boy pending aruling on a lawsuit that could af-fect the care that other autisticchildren receive from the state.A federal judge issued the order

Wednesday in the lawsuit filedlast month in U. S. District Courtin Cincinnati by Robert and HollyYoung, of Williamsburg. They ac-cused the state of denying their 2-year-old son federally mandatedtreatment and of discriminatingagainst children with autism andtheir parents by failing to providethem with an intensive treatmentknown as applied behavioralanalysis. Attorneys for the statehave argued that federal guide-lines don’t specifically requirestates to provide the intensivetreatment.Judge Michael Barrett on

Wednesday ordered the state torestore some basic services for theboy that had been terminated, butdid not rule on theYoungs’ request

to provide the applied behavioralanalysis. The judge indicated hewould rule quickly on that re-quest, which would require 46hours of therapy at a cost of about$2,750 a week, the Youngs’ attor-ney, Richard Ganulin said Thurs-day.States are required under the

Individuals with Disabilities Actto provide early intervention serv-ices for children with autism, andstates get federal money to pro-vide the treatment with the goal ofhelping autistic children becomeself-sufficient adults who won’thave to depend on public re-sources. The developmental disor-der is characterized by difficultiescommunicating, emotional detach-ment and excessively rigid orrepetitive behavior, among othersymptoms.“The state did not provide the

services the child needs to put himon the path to self-sufficiency,”Ganulin said. “Instead the statepushed him down the path of de-pendency.”

The attorney representing thestate, Lyndsay Atkins Nash, andattorney general spokesmanMarkMoretti declinedThursday to com-ment on pending litigation, refer-ring requests for comment to thestate’s filings in the lawsuit.The Youngs have said that the

state refused to provide the morecomprehensive therapy and retal-iated in the wake of their com-plaints by stopping all services totheir son inAugust.The state saidin a filing that the couple wouldnot sign its development plan andconsent form that it says is re-quired by law to continue the serv-ices.HollyYoung saidThursday that

the state’s plan was “more defi-cient than the initial one” and in-cluded no mention of the appliedbehavioral analysis.State officials have said that

the state provides several treat-ments but doesn’t provide themore intensive therapy that theyinsist is not required by the fed-eral guidelines.

Kucinich won’t rule out future campaignsCLEVELAND (AP) —

Dennis Kucinich, a lead-ing voice in the left wingof the Democratic Party,left Congress on Thurs-day after 16 years butsaid he wouldn’t rule outanother run for public of-fice.After members of the

new Congress took office,Kucinich said he’s deter-mined to remain a voicefor change even if hedoesn’t have aHouse voteon Capitol Hill.“It remains to be seen”

if he will run for officeagain, he told TheAssoci-ated Press in a phone in-terview from

Washington. “There’s nocampaign in the offing.”Kucinich said he still

has a supply of yellowcampaign yard signs in agarage.The former “boy

mayor” of Cleveland andtwo-time presidentialcandidate said his plansinclude speaking andtending to a political ac-tion committee created tonurture like-minded pro-gressives.“I’m going to continue

my efforts to reach out tounite people,” he said.“I’mmaking plans right now.”Kucinich, 66, lost last

year to U.S. Rep. Marcy

Kaptur of Toledo in aDemocratic primary setup by Republican redis-tricting.With a national follow-

ing among progressives,Kucinich is known for hisoffbeat, brash style sincebecoming Cleveland’smayor at age 31. One ofhis pet projects in Wash-ington called for creatinga cabinet-level Depart-ment of Peace to addressviolence in schools,homes, work places andacross the nation andworld.Kucinich expressed

frustration with thegrowing financial de-

mands of running forpublic office and saideven congressional racescan cost an “obscene”eight figures.Campaign money

makes government “anauction house where thepolicies go the highestbidder,” he said. He saidpublic financing of cam-paigns would make thenation “a true democ-racy.”While the new Con-

gress might show somesupport in that direction,Kucinich said, “The sup-port has to come fromgrassroots, more thanfromWashington.”

U.S. drones kill Taliban leaderISLAMABAD (AP) — An American

drone strike in Pakistan has killed a topTaliban commander who sent moneyand fighters to battle the U.S. inAfghanistan but had a truce with thePakistani military, officials said Thurs-day.

While the death of Maulvi Nazir waslikely to be seen in Washington as affir-mation of the necessity of the controver-sial U.S. drone program, it could causemore friction in already tense relationswith Pakistan because Nazir did notfocus on Pakistani targets.

Nazir was killed when two missilesslammed into a house in a village inSouth Waziristan while he was meetingwith supporters and fellow commanders.Eight other people were killed, accord-ing to five Pakistani security officials,speaking on condition of anonymity be-

cause they were not authorized to talkto the media.

A U.S. official confirmed the death ofNazir, along with an unspecified numberof “trusted deputies.”

Nazir and those killed were “directlyinvolved in planning and executingcross-border attacks on coalition forcesin Afghanistan, as well as providing pro-tection for al-Qaida fighters in SouthWaziristan,” said the official, who spokeon condition of anonymity because hewas not authorized to describe casual-ties resulting from CIA counterterror-ism actions.

Earlier, Pentagon spokesman GeorgeLittle described Nazir as “someone whohas a great deal of blood on his hands.”

At least four people were killed in aseparate drone strike Thursday in theNorth Waziristan tribal region.

America’s use of drones against mili-tants in Pakistan has increased sub-stantially under President BarackObama, and the program killed a num-ber of top militants in the past year.

But the drone strikes infuriate manyPakistanis who see them as a violationof their country’s sovereignty. ManyPakistanis complain that innocent civil-ians have also been killed, somethingthe U.S. rejects.

A Pakistani official said while his gov-ernment continues to object to the dronestrikes, it does not object to removingNazir from the battlefield, because de-spite his reported cooperation with thePakistani government, he was suspectedto have aided groups who attack Pak-istani troops. The official spoke on con-dition of anonymity because he was notauthorized to speak publicly.

Sandy Hook studentsreturn to classroomsMONROE, Conn. (AP) —

For her son’s first day ofschool since last month’s mas-sacre at his Sandy Hook Ele-mentary, Sarah Caron tried tomake Thursday as normal aspossible. She made his fa-vorite pancakes, and shewalked the second-grader tothe top of the driveway for theschool bus.

But it was harder thanusual to say goodbye.

“I hugged him a lot longerthan normal, until he said,‘Mommy, please,’” she said.“And then he got on the bus,and he was OK.”

Her 7-year-old son,William, was among morethan 400 students who es-

caped a gunman’s rampagethat killed 20 first-gradersand six educators at SandyHook on Dec. 14. On Thurs-day, the returning studentssettled in at their old, familiardesks but in a different schoolin a different town.

Returning students, teach-ers and administrators weremet by a large police presenceoutside their new school inthe neighboring town of Mon-roe, where a middle schoolthat had been shuttered fornearly two years was over-hauled and renamed aftertheir old school. Several offi-cers guarded the entrance andchecked IDs of parents drop-ping off children.

5 charged in gang rapeNEW DELHI (AP) — Five

men accused of raping a uni-versity student for hours on abus as it drove through India’scapital were charged withmurder, rape and other crimesthat could bring them thedeath penalty.

The attack on the 23-year-old woman, who died of severeinternal injuries over theweekend, provoked a fiercedebate across India about theroutine mistreatment of fe-males and triggered dailyprotests demanding action.

There have been signs ofchange since the attack.Rapes, often ignored, have be-come front-page news, politi-cians have called for tougher

laws, including the deathpenalty and chemical castra-tion for rapists, and the gov-ernment is examiningwide-scale reforms in thecriminal justice system’s han-dling of sexual assaults. Ac-tivists say the tragedy couldmark a turning point forwomen’s rights.

In a nation where courtcases often linger for years,the government set up a spe-cial fast-track court Wednes-day to deal with crimesagainst woman, and that iswhere the charges against thefive men were filed Thursdayevening.The government saidit planned to open four moresuch courts in the city.

Car bomb kills 9BEIRUT (AP) — Twin

airstrikes by government jetson a large, rebel-held suburb ofDamascus on Thursdaysheered the sides off apartmenttowers and left residents dig-ging through rubble for thedead and wounded.

The bombing of Doumacame amid awave of attacks onrebellious districts of the Syr-ian capital, part of the govern-ment’s efforts to keep rebelfighters out of PresidentBashar Assad’s seat of power.Late Thursday, a car bomb ex-ploded at a gas station insidethe city itself, killing at leastnine people, activists said.

Douma, the largest patch ofrebel-held ground nearDamas-cus, illustrates why the opposi-

tion’s advance on the capitalhas bogged down. Despite cap-turing territory and setting upcommittees to provide basicservices, the rebels lack thefirepower to challenge Assad’sforces and remain helpless be-fore his air force.

That stalemate suggests thewar will not end soon.The U.N.said Wednesday that morethan 60,000 people have beenkilled since March 2011 — afigure much higher than previ-ous opposition estimates.

Rebels took control ofDouma, a suburb of some200,000 located nine miles (15kilometers) northwest of Dam-ascus, in mid-October 2011,after launching attacks on mil-itary posts throughout the city,

Al-Jazeera pays$500M for Current TVLOS ANGELES (AP) — Al-

Jazeera has a growing reputa-tion for serious news gatheringand its reporters have wonsome of the biggest awards injournalism.What the Pan-Arabnews network doesn’t have is asignificant presence in the U.S.

That’s about to change nowthat Al-Jazeera is spending$500million to acquire CurrentTV, the left-leaning cable newsnetwork co-founded by formerVice President Al Gore. Thedeal gives Al-Jazeera access topotentially 50 million newhomes.As part of an expansion,the network is promising tohire more journalists and dou-

ble the number of U.S.news bu-reaus it has.

Still, some big questions re-main for Al-Jazeera, which isowned by the government ofQatar: How will stand it out ina crowded field of cable TVnews channels? And how can itovercome an image thatwas ce-mented for many Americanswhen it gave voice to OsamaBin Laden in the years follow-ing the 9/11 terrorist attacks?

Marwan Kraidy, a professorof communication at the Uni-versity of Pennsylvania and anexpert on the Arab media, saidthe deal is part of an expansionbinge by Al-Jazeera.

No creature toosmall for zoo countLONDON (AP) — In a sea

of flapping black and whiteflippers, Ricky is hard to miss:He’s got spiky yellow feathers,a flamboyant character, andhe’s the only rockhopperamong the dozens of penguinsliving in the London Zoo.

That’s a big help for keep-ers who embarked Thursdayon their annual stock-takingof all the zoo’s residents. It’sno easy task, when there aremore than 17,500 creatures tocount. All animals have to beaccounted for, including thetarantulas, locusts and snails.

The same scene was beingrepeated at zoos throughoutBritain Thursday — the cen-sus is nationwide. No stone isleft unturned, lest there be abeetle below.

At the London Zoo, keepershope the new year will bringsome company to Ricky, whohas been the zoo’s lone rock-hopper since 2011.

“Ricky’s quite a uniquecharacter — he was rejectedby his parents and was hand-reared. He’s more interestedin zoo keepers than in otherpenguins,” said zoological di-

rector David Field. “It’s timeto get him some rockhopperpartners.”

In the meerkat enclosure,11 of the small mammalswere only too happy to becounted, climbing onto akeeper’s clipboard seeking at-tention and food.

An all-female family ofnine otters likewise rushedforward at the sight of theirfavored delicacies: Mice andcrayfish. In the invertebratessection, a palm-sized red-kneed tarantula called Jillcaused a stir among visitorswhen she was lifted out of herbox for inspection.

“This is quite a docile one,”said keeper Amy Callaghan,who held the spider out in herhand for photographers. “Iwas a little bit wary of themat first, but now I thinkthey’re brilliant.”

The census is required aspart of the license terms ofBritish zoos, and the data isused for zoo management andinternational breeding pro-grams for endangered ani-mals. The final tally couldtake weeks.

Swiss gunman kills 3GENEVA (AP) — A shooting in southern Switzerland has

left three women dead, two men wounded and raised ques-tions about how a troubled suspect was able to go on a ram-page with an old military rifle.

The shooting — which came on the eve of students’ returnto classes in Newtown, Connecticut, after a horrific schoolshooting — also highlighted the easy access to firearms ingun-loving nations.

The suspect, a 33-year-old unemployed man living on dis-ability payments, fired about 20 shotsWednesday night in thevillage of Daillon, authorities in the Swiss canton (state) ofValais said Thursday.

He opened fire from his apartment and pursued people inthe street, police said. Armed with a Swiss military rifle anda handgun, he then threatened to shoot the officers sent in tostop him, police said.

“The shooter pointed his weapon at our colleagues, so theyhad to open fire to neutralize him, to avoid being injuredthemselves,” police spokesman Jean-Marie Bornet told Swissradio.

If she can’t beperfect on her diet, sheovereats and then vom-its to get rid of the food

and hershame. Thedesire to beperfect comesfrom a poors e l f - imag e .Many bulim-ics don’t seethemselves aslovable, sothey put agreat deal ofemphasis ontheir appear-ance. The

roots of bulimia are oftenfound in the familystructure. Often bulim-ics want to please theirparents to a degree thatthey become obsessedwith gaining their ap-proval. But bulimia is atreatable condition.Hope and help are avail-able. Medical and men-tal health professionalsuse a variety of plansthat work: group ther-apy, individual counsel-ing, family therapy,behavior modification,anti-depressant medica-tion and support groups.

Many bulimics want torid themselves of thisaddictive food obsession,but are embarrassed toseek help. You and yourparents could pass thisinformation along toyour cousin’s parentsand encourage them todiscuss the illness withtheir family doctor whocan make helpful profes-sional recommendations.

Sidney writer seeks info about bulimia

Dear Read-ers: As cell-phones becomemore and morepopular, manypeople are for-going landlinescompletely. Butin the event ofan emergency,if cellphonetowers go outor there is nopower tocharge yourphone, what will youdo?Research reveals

that you can get basicplain-Jane phone serv-ice for $20 or so amonth. It’s a goodbackup, and it savesminutes (on your cellbill) for local calls. —HeloiseFOUND PHONEDear Heloise: I re-

cently found a cell-phone, the second timethis has happened.Both were locked, andthere was no way to

find the owner.My hint is toput an alter-nate phonenumber on theinside of thebattery cover. Idropped themoff at the cellu-lar provider in-dicated on thefront of thephone. — DawnB. in WisconsinVery good

point! Some phonesmay not have a battery“cover,” but this is avaluable hint. If yourphone doesn’t have aremovable battery,place a note betweenthe phone and thecover. — Heloise

PET STAINSDear Heloise: Do you

have a way to eliminatepet stains on carpet? —L.S. in TexasFirst, you need to get

to the area as soon aspossible! If it’s fresh,you need to blot up as

much liquid as you can,using paper towels.Then mix a solution of1 teaspoon mild dish-washing detergent anda cup of warm water.Dab the stain, workingfrom the outside in. Besure to not soak thearea. Rinse with cleanwater and blot dry.Next, mix a solution

of 1/3 cup white vinegarand 2/3 cup water, anddab the area.Vinegar will help re-

move the odor and anydetergent that is leftbehind.To make a simple

vinegar-based cleanerfor windows and mir-rors, mix 1/2 cup ofvinegar and 1/2 cup ofwater. — Heloise

TRAVEL HINTDear Heloise:When I

was traveling the worldas an airline captain, Ioften would have lay-overs at vacation spots.When I wanted photosof famous landmarks, I

often would first look ata postcard selectionand find the “profes-sional’s” viewpoint. Bytaking my photo fromthe same vantage pointused in the postcard,my photos often turnedout better than theyotherwise would. —Jim in Omaha, Neb.

KEEPINGBLANKETS CLEANDear Heloise: My

hint regards keepingblankets and expensivebedcoverings clean ifyour dog sleeps withyou. My friend sug-gested that rather thanwashing my blanketseach week, I place twoflat sheets over thesheets under my duvet.Now my small dog is

happy to slip betweenthem, and his hairlands there, ratherthan on a dry-cleanduvet or a blanket thatcannot stand up toweekly washing. —Vanessa in Texas

Edison pinsnursing gradsPIQUA —The Edison

State College Nursingprogram honored itsmost recent crop of grad-uates into the professionDec. 13 with a pinningceremony held before apacked gymnasium filledwith family and friendsat the Piqua campus.The pinning cere-

mony is a tradition inwhich the graduatenurse is presented tofamily and friends as aprofessional who isabout to practice nursingand the graduate is usu-ally “pinned” by the fac-ulty members who haveworked with the stu-dents throughout theircourses of study. Eachschool has a unique pin,which serves as a symbolof the successful comple-tion of a rigorous cur-riculum, which preparesits graduates to adminis-ter to the sick and in-jured and promotehealth through the prac-tice of nursing.Edison President Dr.

Cristobal Valdez gave anopening speech praisingthe hard work and deter-mination of the students,while recognizing thesacrifices made by thefamily members whohave supported themalong the way to com-pleting their degrees.“For a nursing stu-

dent, being pinned signi-fies the transition fromstudent nurse to profes-sional nurse and the pin-ning ceremony providesan opportunity for publicacknowledgement of thisjourney,” said GwenStevenson, dean of nurs-ing and health sciences.“Our students tend to

develop close bonds withfaculty members and theceremony provides clo-sure to the end of a long,challenging course ofstudy. With the addedpresence of family mem-bers and friends, the cer-

emony is filled withgreat emotion andmeaning for all.”Each of the 33 gradu-

ates had the opportunityto submit a word ofthanks to those whomade her education pos-sible, which was read asshe received her pinfrom an Edison nursingfaculty member. Manyused the opportunity toshare individual storiesof sacrifice and triumphover adversity, the bondsthat were formed be-tween classmates andthe deep appreciationheld for the Edison nurs-ing faculty.“The pinning cere-

mony is a bittersweetmoment for the faculty,since it’s bringing ourtime with these studentsto a close,” said JulieWil-lenbrink, assistant pro-fessor of nursing. “Weprepare them for thenursing profession andwatch them grow frominexperienced caregiversto graduate nursing stu-dents who are very eagerto learn and begin theircareers.”The nursing program

recently underwent asite visit from the OhioBoard of Nursing, an ac-creditation process that’sperformed every fiveyears. The results of thereview will be made pub-lic in March.In 2011, the program

earned an eight-year ac-creditation from the Na-tional League forNursing AccreditingCommission, the highestlevel a program can re-ceive.Local graduates in-

Gaier is aman of many activities

The Science Olympians Multi-tasking Michael!

BBYY:: AALLYYXX MMEEYYEERRSSA jack of all trades, senior Louis Gaier is very in-

volved at Lehman and well known to most students.Gaier is the second youngest in a family of four. He

has two older sisters - Samantha and Allison - andone younger brother, Derek. They live in Piqua withtheir parents, Dan and Deborah.

Gaier is quite the leader, servingas president of his 4-H program,president of Lehman Pro-Life-guards, and vice president ofLehman Student Council. He wasalso a leader for Kairos 33.

Gaier is also in cross country,soccer, and tennis. But that is notall. He is part of the musical crew,

band, Academia, Mock Trial, Ohio Energy Project, andNational Honor Society. The list goes on and on, butin his spare time (if he has any), Gaier likes playing ul-timate Frisbee, ping-ping, and euchre. He also likes learning about history. His favorite

class is World History taught by Mr. Joe Schmiesing. If Gaier had to pick his favorite foods, he would

choose bread and Orange Nehi. His other favoritesinclude the color green and penguins. Obviously you can tell that Louis Gaier has a good

sense of humor. With everything he does at Lehman,it is hard for him to go unnoticed.

BBYY:: MMAADDIILLYYNN BBRROOWWNNYou may recognize this magnifi-

cent man in the hallways becauseyou remember his super fancy Hal-loween costumes, but it is probablybecause he is one of the most in-volved students at Lehman. He issenior Michael Jacob and he is in-volved in just about everything.Not only is Jacob president of the Student Council,

he is also the president of several service clubs -SAAC (Substance Abuse Advisory Council) and In-teract. He is known for his outgoing personality so itis no wonder that he has so many titles and so manyfriends. He was born on April Fool’s Day in 1995 so itis also no wonder that he is quite the jokester. He is the youngest in his family with all his siblings

- two brothers and a sister - having already graduatedfrom Lehman. His parents, Bill and Peggy, are verysupportive of all his activities and are always cheeringhim on from the sidelines. Living with them at homeare a dog named Gabby and a stuffed pegacorn(which he defines as a cross between a unicorn anda Pegasus) named Blake. Michael can be seen on the football field and the

basketball court, playing for the Cavs, but he also en-joys darts, cricket, and curling. (An example of thatsense of humor!)

Although he seems to be quite the busy guy, hemakes time for his schoolwork and is a member of theNational Honor Society and highly enjoys AP English.

BBYY:: AALLEECC GGRREEVVEESome people are just naturally gifted in science.

Others have a love for it and are always striving tolearn more. Science Olympiad is a great outlet forboth kinds of people, and Advisor Sister GinnyScherer is both kinds rolled into one.Sister Ginny is an avid science teacher, and with

her help, and the help of volunteer engineers who as-sist, the Lehman Science Olympiad team is alwayswell prepared and well coached. “Science Olympiadis a great way for students to get excited and learnabout the way science is used in everyday life,” saidSister. “It can be a great way to learn new things or itcan be an extension of what students already knowand how they can put it into practice.”Lehman has had a Science Olympiad team since

1988. The team competes in at least two invitationalsto get ready for regional and state competition. Thecompetitions involve 23 events covering every area ofscience. This year’s invitationals are coming up onJanuary 5 at Northmont High School and January 12at Wright State University.The Lehman team is very good at what it does. We

have won the regional competition at OSU-Lima thepast three years and have quaified for state competi-tion 16 times. For anyone looking for an outlet for his or her sci-

entific abilities, Science Olympiad is a way to exploreall the branches of science, as well as put skills to thetest and have fun doing it. So get up and get into sci-ence!

‘Tis the season ..... for examsBBYY:: KKEENNNNEEDDYY MMCCIIVVEERRAs the holidays are quickly approaching so are the dreaded exams. Christmas break is supposed to be a time to spend with family and friends while enjoying a

much needed rest and relaxation from the pressures of school. For most of us students at Lehman, we won’t have that opportunity, because we will have to worryabout studying for the exams that soon follow the short lived break. Just as quickly as Christmas will be here, so will the third quarter. Unfortunately, the timing of exams will limit our sanity. This will affect the students taking them

and the teachers who have to prepare the tests and their students for success.It used to be that the exams were taken before Christmas break so there were no worries after the school bell rang on the official last school day of the year. All

of that has changed within the last few years. There are pros and cons to having the exams at the beginning of the New Year. For most students, we would ratherhave exams before the break so there is more time to spend with friends doing what high school kids do such as sledding, going to the movies, or just hanging outwith each other. Students have many different techniques on how they plan to prepare. Some students such as Skylar Brown will diligently study throughout the week they have

off. He has organized note cards that are color coordinated by class, which shows that he is truly dedicated to study. Freshman Clayton Malone is not nervous about exams because his big brother told him what to expect and how to study.Senior Ally Bergman gave some advice for the freshman. “Study hard and prepare ahead of time for the exam because you never know how difficult it could be.”When asked how it felt to have two exams left for college, senior Andrew Gilardi said “it’s exhilarating because I know I’m almost finished with high school and I’m

excited to move on.”

As residents deal with winterstorms, the U.S. Department of Agri-culture’s Food Safety and InspectionService is offering guidance on how tokeep frozen and refrigerated foods atsafe temperatures and how to deter-mine if food is unsafe to eat.

Power outages and flooding thatoften result from weather emergenciescompromise the safety of stored food,and planning ahead can minimize therisk of foodborne illness.

“Keeping food at safe storage tem-peratures is crucial to avoiding food-borne illness, and this can be difficultwithout electricity,” USDA Under Sec-retary for Food Safety Dr. ElisabethHagen said. “Make sure your familyhas appliance thermometers, coolers,and plenty of ice to keep perishablefood below 40 degrees Fahrenheit untilpower is restored to your refrigeratorand freezer. As a last resort for foodsafety, when in doubt, throw it out.”

The publication, “Keeping Food SafeDuring an Emergency,” can be down-loaded and printed for reference dur-ing a power outage. FSIS’ YouTubevideo, “Food Safety During Power Out-ages,” also has instructions for keepingfrozen and refrigerated food safe.

Videos about food safety duringpower outages are available in Eng-lish, Spanish and American Sign Lan-guage on FSIS’ YouTube channel,www.youtube.com/USDAFoodSafety.Podcasts regarding food safety duringsevere weather, power outages andflooding are available English andSpanish on FSIS’ website atwww.fsis.usda.gov/News_&_Events/Food_Safety_at_Home_Podcasts.

Consumers with food safety ques-tions can “Ask Karen,” the FSIS virtualrepresentative available 24 hours aday at www.AskKaren.gov orm.AskKaren.gov on your smartphone.Mobile Ask Karen can also be down-loaded from the Apple and Androidapp stores. Consumers can email, chatwith a live representative, or call theUSDA Meat and Poultry Hotline di-rectly from the app. To use these fea-tures from Mobile Ask Karen, choose“Contact Us” from the menu. The live-chat option and the toll-free USDAMeat and Poultry Hotline, (888)MPHotline (674-6854), are available inEnglish and Spanish on weekdaysfrom 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Eastern Time.

Steps to follow to prepare for a pos-sible weather emergency:

• Keep an appliance thermometerin the refrigerator and freezer to helpdetermine if food is safe during poweroutages. The refrigerator temperatureshould be 40 degrees Fahrenheit orlower and the freezer should be zerodegrees or lower.

• Store food on shelves that will besafely out of the way of contaminatedwater in case of flooding.

• Group food together in thefreezer — this helps the food stay coldlonger.

• Freeze refrigerated items such asleftovers, milk and fresh meat andpoultry that you may not need immedi-ately — this helps keep them at a safetemperature longer.

• Have coolers on hand to keep re-frigerator food cold if the power will beout for more than four hours.

• Purchase or make ice and store inthe freezer for use in the refrigeratoror in a cooler. Freeze gel packs aheadof time for use in coolers.

• Plan ahead and know where dryice and block ice can be purchased.

Steps to follow if the power goes out:• Keep refrigerator and freezer

doors closed as much as possible.• A refrigerator will keep food cold

for about four hours if you keep thedoor closed.

• A full freezer will keep its temper-ature for about 48 hours (24 hours ifhalf-full).

• If the power is out for an ex-tended period of time, buy dry or blockice to keep the refrigerator as cold aspossible. Fifty pounds of dry iceshould keep a fully stocked, 18-cubic-foot freezer cold for two days.

• Take advantage of cold outdoortemperatures to make ice to bring in-side, but do not leave food out in thesnow to keep it cold. Outside tempera-tures can vary, and food can be ex-posed to unsanitary conditions andanimals. Fill buckets, empty milk con-tainers, or cans with water and leavethem outside to freeze. Use this ice to

help keep food cold in the freezer, re-frigerator, or coolers.

Steps to follow after a weatheremergency:

• Check the temperature in the re-frigerator and freezer. If the ther-mometer reads 40 degrees or below,the food is safe.

• If no thermometer was used inthe freezer, check each package. Iffood still contains ice crystals or is at40 degrees or below when checkedwith a food thermometer, it may besafely refrozen.

• Discard any perishable food(such as meat, poultry, fish, softcheeses, milk, eggs, leftovers and deliitems) that have been kept in a refrig-erator or freezer above 40 degrees fortwo hours or more.

• Discard any food that is not in awaterproof container if there is anychance that it has come into contactwith flood water. Containers that arenot waterproof include those withscrew-caps, snap lids, pull tops, andcrimped caps. Discard wooden cuttingboards, plastic utensils, baby bottlenipples and pacifiers.

• Thoroughly wash all metal pans,ceramic dishes and utensils that camein contact with flood water with hotsoapy water and sanitize by boilingthem in clean water or by immersingthem for 15 minutes in a solution of 1tablespoon of unscented, liquid chlo-rine bleach per gallon of drinkingwater.

• Undamaged, commercially pre-pared foods in all-metal cans and re-tort pouches (for example, flexible,shelf-stable juice or seafood pouches)can be saved. Follow the Steps to Sal-vage All-Metal Cans and RetortPouches in the publication “KeepingFood Safe During an Emergency.”

• Use bottled water that has notbeen exposed to flood waters. If bot-tled water is not available, tap watercan be boiled for safety.

• Never taste food to determine itssafety!

• When in doubt, throw it out!

Opinions vary on blood test

Mom uses restaurant table to change baby

DEAR DR.ROACH: I am a72-year-old man.About threeweeks ago, I sawmy primary doc-tor for a checkup.Routine bloodworkwas fine, ex-cept the results ofmy hemoglobinA1c, which was5.7 percent (anormal range is4.8-5.6). I was toldto change my dietdrastically, and was givena brochure with ways todo this. A couple of weekslater I went to the VA,and the doctor therelaughed and told me notto worry, that it is nothingto be concerned about andthat I should stop eatingrice, and that was that.He also told me not to eatbananas, since my potas-sium was 4.5, which theother doctor had notmen-tioned. As you can well

imagine, I’m a lit-tle confused, espe-cially about thehemoglobin A1c.— L.T.

ANSWER: It’ssaid that if youask 10 doctorssomething, youcan get 10 differ-ent opinions. Ithink my opinionis somewhere inthe middle of thetwo extremes youhave gotten al-

ready.The hemoglobin A1c,

also called glycosylatedhemoglobin, is an accu-rate test of your bloodsugar during the past fewmonths, so it gives a bet-ter picture of the risk ofdiabetes than a singleblood sugar level. Yoursfalls in the range of predi-abetes, also called im-paired glucose tolerance.Studies have shown thata careful diet and regular

exercise can drasticallyreduce the risk of predia-betes becoming overt dia-betes. So, while I don’tnecessarily recommend a“drastic” change, look atwhat you are eating andeliminate all the refinedsugar you can — espe-cially all non-diet softdrinks. Rice, bread andpasta are all carbohy-drates, and it’s appropri-ate to limit their intake.Fruit intake of one or twoservings per meal is fine— and I wouldn’t keepyou fromhaving a bananaa day with your level ofpotassium.

But probably most im-portant is for you to getsome regular exercise —walking is as good asanything. An inexpen-sive pedometer can helpyou reach the goal of10,000 steps a day.

DEAR ABBY:Mywife and I runa restaurant in asmall town.

Recently, mywife came homeon my day off andtold me that dur-ing the lunchhour, one of ourservers had comeinto the kitchenand announcedthat they’d needextra sanitizer on table29 because a mother waschanging her baby on it!

What has happened inour society that peopledon’t understand thatthis is unsanitary andrude? Had I been there, Idon’t know that I couldhave kept a civil tongue,and I feel like peopletoday regard my disgustas unreasonable. Is theresomething I’m missinghere? — CAFE CRAZY

D E A R“CRAZY”: I don’tknow who youhave been talkingto, but your dis-gust is NOT “un-r e a s o n a b l e . ”What thatmother was miss-ing was commonsense and cour-tesy for thosearound her. Iagree that chang-

ing a baby on a restau-rant table was out of theballpark—particularly ifa changing table wasavailable in the women’srestroom of your cafe.(I’m assuming there isone, but if there isn’t, thesituation should be im-mediately rectified.)

DEAR ABBY: Myhusband, “Gene,” and Iwere married for fiveyears until our divorce six

months ago. We still livetogether and are datingeach other. We had somany issues, I felt thereneeded to be a fresh start,including filing for di-vorce and living apart.

Now that we havestarted over, moved awayfrom our hometown andgotten rid of several“friends,” our issues aregone and we’re finan-cially stable. In fact, ourrelationship is betterthan ever.

Since things are nowworked out, I’d like us toget remarried. I told himbefore our divorce that Ihoped we could resolvethings and marry again.Now he’s not sure, be-cause he says if we got di-vorced again, he couldn’tbear the hurt. He says hestill doesn’t understandwhy our “fresh start” in-cluded a divorce.

Abby, we love eachother. We want to be to-gether forever and havechildren. I don’t want tobe dating my ex-husbandindefinitely.

Do you have advice forus? — GOINGNOWHERE IN WASH-INGTON

DEAR GOINGNOWHERE: I sure do.In the interest of solidify-ing your fresh start, youand Gene should sign upfor some premarital coun-seling. If you do, you maybe able to help him un-derstand why you felt theway you did. With coun-seling, you can sure thatyour problems are fullyresolved, and it may reas-sure him that this timethere won’t be another di-vorce. If you are thinkingabout a religious cere-mony, the officiant mayeven require it.

CINCINNATI (AP) —Andy Dalton is getting a sec-ond chance to shine in ahometown playoff game. Thefirst one didn’t turn out verywell for him at all.The Bengals quarterback

had one of the worst games ofhis rookie season in front of alot of family and friends inHouston last year. He threwthree interceptions, includingone that J.J.Watt returned fora touchdown, in the Texans’31-10 victory in the wild cardround.Dalton grew up in subur-

ban Katy, Texas, and hadnever lost a game at ReliantStadium, where he playedtwice in high school and onceat TCU. He’s excited to begoing back for what amountsto a second chance to lookgood in the playoffs.“It’ll be fun,” Dalton said.

“There’s a lot of family and(friends) around the Houstonarea and in Texas in general.It’s definitely cool to comeback and play where I’mfrom.”

Those friends and relatives— and those Texans — willsee a quarterback who hasgrown up a lot in the last year.

Dalton made the Pro Bowllast season after leading theBengals to a 9-7 record and awild card berth. The Bengals

went 10-6 in his second seasonand snagged another wild cardspot, with Dalton improving inevery statistical category.He completed 62.3 percent

of his passes for 3,669 yards,27 touchdowns and an 87.4passer rating, all improve-ments from his rookie season.The only negative: Daltonthrew 16 interceptions thisseason, 13 as a rookie.Dalton received an unex-

pected challenge at midsea-son.With the Bengals off to a 3-

4 start, coach Marvin Lewischallenged the quarterbackand middle linebacker ReyMaualuga to assert them-selves and lead the team out ofits mediocre malaise. Neitherone is very vocal, preferring tolet the coaches take control.With the pressure on, Dal-

ton and Maualuga improvedtheir performances and led aturnaround. The Bengals wonseven of their last eight gamesto reach the playoffs. Insteadof trying to blend in, Daltonled the way.

“He’s a guy that’s grown,”offensive tackle AndrewWhit-worth said. “He’s matured. Ithink he’s ready for his oppor-tunity. The truth is, we’regoing to be behind him andhe’s going to lead us. LikeMarvin said earlier in theyear about him and Rey,where they take us is wherewe’ll go. Those guys continueto elevate their play.”Lewis was so pleased with

how Dalton and Maualuga re-sponded to his challenge thathe designated them team cap-tains for the rest of the sea-son, putting a small “C’’ on thefront of their game jerseys.“I think he’s done a great

job of being the leader of theoffensive group and really thefootball team,” Lewis said. “Hehas continued to be very de-manding, but he’s got a lot ofpressure he keeps on himself.I think he’s getting the play-ers around him to understandand get it right all the timeand play to his standard.”

The NFL lockout lim-ited Dalton’s prepara-tion for his rookieseason. The Bengals in-stalled a West Coast of-fense under newcoordinator Jay Grudenlast year and were learn-ing it as the season wentalong.

Dalton has a muchbetter understanding ofthe playbook as he pre-pares for his secondplayoff game.

“I feel like I havemore control over every-thing,” Dalton said.“There is a lot more stuffthat they are asking meto do at the line —

(changing) plays anddoing different thingslike that. That’s defi-nitely an area where Ihave improved.”

He’s got one morething in his favor — afull week to get ready.

The Bengals are themost northern NFL teamwithout a covered prac-tice facility. They prac-ticed in the cold last year— the wind chill was 14degrees one day — andDalton came down withthe flu, forcing him tomiss a day of practiceleading up to the playoffgame.

It had an effect.

“I missed the wholeWednesday practice,”Dalton said. “I wouldn’tsay I wasn’t prepared forthe game. Obviously, youwant to be here for all ofthat stuff.”

The Bengals learnedfrom their mistake, rent-ing the University ofCincinnati’s coveredfootball field this weekto escape the cold andget ready for the re-match.

The biggest downsideheading into the playoffgame is how the offensefinished the season. Thedefense scored twotouchdowns in the last

two games, while the of-fense managed only one.It’s time for the offenseto start making somegame-turning plays in-stead of relying on thedefense to bail it out.

“The big-shot plays,”Whitworth said. “Evenmore now than ever, it’sthe huge plays that winthe playoffs. You can goback to clips from SuperBowls past and playoffspast. It’s time for guys tomake huge plays, that’sthe bottom line.

“You’ve got to go outand do something spe-cial to win in the play-offs.”

CLEVELAND (AP) —Win or lose, once ChipKelly finishes coachingOregon in the FiestaBowl and walks off thefield and likely toward ajob in the NFL, theBrowns will be waitingto court him

They won’t be alone.The Philadelphia Ea-

gles and Buffalo Bills arealso interested in signingKelly, the Ducks coachand offensive master-mind whose break-neck,stop-us-if-you-can systemis already being copied inthe pro game. Therecould be others courtingthe 49-year-old Kelly, butthe Browns, Eagles andBills seem to be the lead-ers to land him.

It’s not yet clear whowill get the first crack atKelly, who has spent thepast few days in advanceof Thursday night’sgame against KansasState deflecting ques-tions about his future.

Browns owner Jimmy

Haslam and CEO JoeBanner have spent thepast few days in Arizona,where they have alreadyconducted at least twoknown interviews inpreparation of theirmeeting with Kelly. OnTuesday, the Browns in-terviewed Cardinals de-fensive coordinator RayHorton, who describedhis meeting with theteam as “fantastic.”

On Wednesday, theBrowns’ brass met withformer Cardinals coachKen Whisenhunt, firedearlier this week aftersix seasons with theclub. Whisenhunt was aspecial teams coach inCleveland under ChrisPalmer in 1999, theBrowns’ first seasonback in the league as anexpansion franchise.

The Browns are notconfirming or commenton any interviews.

When he announcedPat Shurmur’s firingearlier this week,

Haslam was aware thata bidding war might lieahead if Cleveland is toget its top choice ascoach.

Although this may behis first foray into acoaching search, Haslamhas hired many businessexecutives over theyears and he wasn’t con-cerned about any compe-tition. In fact, he seemedto relish a race.

“We’re not going toworry about who else isout there looking for acoach,” Haslam said. “Wehave our people in mindand we’re going to workhard to bring the rightperson here to Cleve-land.”

Kelly’s lack of any procoaching experiencedoesn’t seem to be scar-ing off the Browns. Theyare intrigued by his up-tempo, no-huddle of-fense, which NewEngland coach Bill Be-lichick implemented thisseason after meeting

with Kelly during thesummer.

Before the searchends, Banner may findhimself trying to beatout the Eagles, his for-mer team. Banner spent19 seasons withPhiladelphia, includingthe last 12 as president.

Like Haslam, Bannerbelieves the Browns willbe able to get the coachthey’re after.

“We go into this ex-tremely confident thatwe can go after the toppeople available, at leastthe top people in ouropinion, and that wehave a very good chanceof being successful inconvincing them thatthis is the right situa-tion,” he said. “Most ofthese top coaches are fo-cused on finding a placewhere they think theycan win and we think wecan make a very goodcase why this is the bestopportunity in theleague right now.”

Browns will be waitingfor Kelly, win or lose
