As the year comes to a close andlocal residents review their tax situa-tion, many individuals find making acharitable deduction at the end of 2012would be advantageous. Problems suchas time constraints, difficulties distrib-uting securities to individual charities,or simply not being sure which chari-ties to support can stand in the way.Charitable Distribution Accounts are asimple and convenient way for donorsto help support their favorite charities.The Community Foundation of

Shelby County offers Charitable Distri-bution Accounts to help donors supportlocal or national charities. One of thebenefits for using a CDA is gaining atax deduction for the current year butallowing donors to take their time anddistribute the money in the weeks,months and even years to come. In ad-

dition, donors receive the maximumcharitable gift deduction.“Many donors come to us in Decem-

ber when they have a better idea oftheir tax situation for the year and howmuch they are able to give,” said Mar-ian Spicer, the executive director of theCommunity Foundation of ShelbyCounty. “Charitable Distribution Ac-counts provide a flexible, convenient,and tax advantageous vehicle for han-dling charitable giving.”

Once the cash or securities are con-tributed, donors determine what chari-ties they would like to receive all orpart of the gift. It could be a church,alma mater, or any of the many chari-table organizations inside or outsideShelby County. There is no minimumbalance needed to start an account andgifts to charities can be any amount.

“There are so many charities andcauses that benefit from the generosityof residents here in Shelby County,”Jessica Vaglienti, Donor Relations Di-rector said. “Unfortunately, there arestill many pressing issues that needsupport. Charitable Distribution Ac-counts are an easy way to help in thecommunity.”A Charitable Distribution Account is

often considered a “charitable checkingaccount” because how simple it is touse. The Community Foundation is-sues the checks and mails them for thedonors and streamlines paperwork bygiving one tax receipt to the donor.There is no fee for setting up or using aCharitable Distribution Account.For more information about the

Powerball feverJackpot was $550M for Wednesday drawing

BY M. SPENCER GREENThe Associated Press

CHICAGO (AP) — AsAmericans went on a ticket-buying spree, the Powerballjackpot rose to $550 millionWednesday, enticing manypeople who rarely, if ever, playthe lottery to purchase a shotat the second-largest payoutin U.S. history.Among them was Lamar

Fallie, a jobless Chicago manwho said his six tickets con-jured a pleasant daydream: Ifhe wins, he plans to take careof his church, make big dona-tions to schools and then “re-tire from being unemployed.”Tickets were selling at a

rate of 130,000 a minute na-tionwide — about six timesthe volume from a week ago.That meant the jackpot couldclimb even higher before theWednesday night drawing,said Chuck Strutt, executivedirector of the Multi-StateLottery Association.The jackpot has already

rolled over 16 consecutive timeswithout a winner, but Power-ball officials say they now be-lieve there is a 75 percentchance the winning combina-tion will be drawn this time.

If one ticket hits the rightnumbers, chances are goodthat multiple ones will, ac-cording to some experts. Thathappened in the Mega Mil-lions drawing in March, whenthree ticket buyers shared a$656 million jackpot, whichremains the largest lotterypayout of all time.Yvette Gavin, who sold the

tickets to Fallie, is only an oc-casional lottery player herself,but the huge jackpot meansshe’ll definitely play this time.As for the promises she oftengets from ticket purchasers,Gavin isn’t holding herbreath.“A lot of customers say if

they win they will take care ofme, but I will have to wait andsee,” she said.In the hours before

Wednesday’s drawing, Associ-ated Press photographersacross the nation sought outticket buyers and asked abouttheir lottery fantasies. Here’sa look at what they found:When Atlanta barber

Edison bringsdonors, scholarshiprecipients togetherPIQUA — The long-

standing benefits of acollege education cansometimes be a goal thatseems unattainable tosome, because of the fi-nancial strain that get-ting a degree can bring.As student loan debtcontinues to grow, morestudents are reachingout for assistancethrough scholarship pro-grams.

Through the generos-ity of donors fromthroughout the region,many students at EdisonState College have foundthe resources necessaryto take their dreams andmake them a reality. Atthe annual ScholarshipRecognition Dinner heldin Edison’s RobinsonTheater on Nov. 8, stu-dents and their familieswere given the opportu-nity to connect with thedonors who have helpedshape their futures.

Edison studentNatasha Flaugher, recip-ient of two scholarshipsand currently pursuingher degree in nursing,addressed the audiencefollowing the opening re-ception and dinner.

“Without these schol-arships, a lot of the stu-dents here would have agreat burden on theirshoulders,” saidFlaugher, who receivedscholarships from thePiqua Area Chamber ofCommerce and MiamiCounty Safety Council.“Getting a scholarshiphas been a great motiva-tor for me personally, be-cause I know someonehas put a lot of faith in

me, and I don’t want tolet them down.”

Donors like LindaLong and CarolWood be-lieve in those students,and see the opportunityin providing a scholar-ship to a deserving stu-dent as a way ofhonoring the memory ofa loved one. The HollyHahnMemorial Scholar-ship is set up to providefinancial assistance to astudent for whom Eng-lish is a second lan-guage, a cause that wasvery close to the formerEdison professor’s heartwhen she died in 2005.

“She had a passionand love for teaching,”said Long, who startedthe scholarship sevenyears ago with Wood.“She worked with stu-dents in the Czech Re-public, Russia and thisarea teaching English asa second language andserving as a languagetutor.” Edison PresidentDr. Cris Valdez spoke tothe audience on the im-portance of recognizingthe many individualdonors and organiza-tions that work throughthe college’s foundationto help students succeed.

“We’re building andcreating a culture of phi-lanthropy here thatstarts with our donors,”said Valdez. “Not every-one has the financialmeans to contribute andwe are very appreciativeof those that do. Weknow that higher educa-tion opens up so manyopportunities to stu-dents.”

Statistically, the av-

erage number of stu-dents receiving someform of financial aid atEdison is around 70percent, compared toother major schools inOhio where the numberis more than 90 per-cent. Offering resourcessuch as the Post-Sec-ondary Enrollment Op-tion Program (PSEOP),which allows qualifyingstudents to take collegecredit courses whilestill in high school tu-ition-free, helps stu-dents and familiesreduce future costswhile easing the transi-tion into a higher edu-cation institution.

“We have more than600 students attendingEdison now as PSEOPstudents,” said ChrisNorman, vice presidentof Institutional Advance-ment. “Annually, that’shelping to save morethan 1 million dollars intuition costs for stu-dents.”

Parents like Kim Ma-niaci, whose two daugh-ters Brittany andGabrielle both attendEdison and were recipi-ents of scholarships, ex-pressed her gratitude tothe donors and institu-tion that have provided astrong foundation fortheir academic success.

“Edison has beenvery helpful in findingscholarships to continuetheir education,” shesaid. “As a single parent,it has benefitted all ofus financially. We arevery fortunate to haveEdison here in the com-munity.”

Handmade ornaments followtree to nation’s Capitol

ARVADA,Colo. (AP)—Thousands ofornaments,many of themmade by Col-orado schoolchildren,have accompaniedthe majestic Engelmann spruce sent toWashington, D.C., to grace the lawn ofthe U.S. Capitol building this Christ-mas.

The 73-foot tree is from the WhiteRiver National Forest in northwesternColorado.After it’s lit onDec. 4,many ofthe ornaments will be on public view;others will adorn the nearly 70 smallertrees, also from Colorado, that will dec-orate government office buildingsthroughoutWashington.

WhenColorado residents were askedto craft ornaments for the trees, they re-sponded enthusiastically:Nearly 10,000ornaments poured into the U.S. ForestService office in Meeker, where MaryCunningham coordinated the cam-paign. She had needed only about halfthat number, but starting in early Sep-tember, “it got crazy,” she says. “For twoweeks we were getting 20 to 30 hugeboxes each day of ornaments.”

Ornaments arrived from every cor-ner of the state. The theme was “Cele-brating Our Great Outdoors,” and itinspired ornaments featuring skiing,hiking and fishing; mountain scenes

and blue spruce trees; Western attire,from cowboy boots to moccasins; andbears, bison, wolves and moose.

Liberty High School’s Art Club andNational Honor Society in ColoradoSprings contributed 50 small clay potsand baskets crafted from area clay. Stu-dents at another Colorado Springsschool,DiscoveryCanyonCampus,werechallenged by teachers to use recycledmaterials, so theymade an airplane outof a soda can, a hiking boot from sodapop tabs, and horses made from winecorks, among other ornaments.

FromMount Garfield Middle Schoolin Clifton came more than 100 paintedornaments, including jumping trout, cutfrom plywood in a technical educationclass. The teacher, Kevin Elisha, drovethe ornaments nearly two hours fromClifton to Cunningham’s home inMeeker.

“He kept pulling out individual onesand tellingme about the kid,”Cunning-ham remembers.“It was just really neatthe time and thought they put into it.”

She also tells of a Hamilton man,Ray Durham, who donated 1,200 largeAspen slices, or disks, so every kid in thearea’s school district could make an or-nament.

A DISNEY brand sweater lays among the equip-ment charred in the fire that killed 112 people Sat-urday at the Tazreen Fashions Ltd. factory, on theoutskirts of Dhaha, Bangladesh, Wednesday. Gar-ments and documents left behind in the factoryshow it was used by a host of major American andEuropean retailers, though at least one of them —Wal-Mart — had been aware of safety problems.Wal-Mart blames a supplier for using TazreenFashions without its knowledge.

Wal-Mart, Disneyclothes found in fireDHAKA, Bangladesh

(AP) — The garment fac-tory in Bangladeshwhere 112 people werekilled in a fire had beenmaking clothes for Wal-Mart, Disney, Sears andother major retailers —some of whom say theythought they hadstopped doing businesswith the place.The apparent confu-

sion underscored whatsome industry expertssay is a major obstacle toimproving safety inThird World factories:Many major retailers inthe U.S. and Europe relyon such a long and com-plex chain of manufac-turers, vendors andmiddlemen to keep theirshelves stocked that it isdifficult to keep track ofwhere certain productsare made.Amid the blackened

tables andmelted sewingmachines at TazreenFashions Ltd., an Associ-ated Press reporter dis-covered clothes andaccount books Wednes-day that indicated thefactory was used by ahost of major U.S. andEuropean retailers.Among the items dis-

covered: children’s shortswith Wal-Mart’s FadedGlory label, hoodedsweaters marked “DisneyPixar,” shorts with hip-hop star Sean Combs’ENYCE tag, andsweaters from theFrench company TeddySmith and the Scottishcompany EdinburghWoollen Mill. Sears was

also among the compa-nies listed in the accountbooks.The tragedy at the be-

ginning of the holidayseason is putting a spot-light on dangerous work-place conditions aroundthe world, with no clearanswers to how con-sumers should react orwho is ultimately respon-sible.Wal-Mart said that it

received a safety auditthat showed the factorywas “high-risk” and haddecided well before theblaze to stop doing busi-ness with Tazreen. But itsaid a supplier had con-tinued to use Tazreenwithout authorization.When pressed for an

explanation of how a sup-plier could use a factorywithout the retailer’s ap-proval and whether ithappened often, KevinGardner, a Wal-Martspokesman, did not di-rectly address the issuein emails to The Associ-ated Press.Sears said it learned

after the blaze that itsmerchandise was beingproduced there withoutits approval through avendor, which has sincebeen fired. Walt DisneyCo., which licenses itscharacters to clothingmakers, said its recordsindicate that none of itslicensees have been per-mitted to make Disney-brand products at thefactory for at least a year.Combs’ Sean Jean En-

terprises did not returncalls.

Woman ontrial for killinglottery winnerTAMPA, Fla. (AP) —

Abraham Shakespearecould barely read, wrotehis name in block lettersand had given awaymostof his $17 million in lot-tery winnings when hebecame friends withDorice “Dee Dee” Moore,a calculating womanwho later became his fi-nancial adviser, prosecu-tors said Wednesday.During opening state-

ments in Moore’s first-degree murder trial inTampa, assistant stateattorney Jay Pruner saidMoore swindled whatwas left of Shakespeare’swinnings from his bankaccount in 2009, thenkilled him and buried hisbody under a concreteslab in her backyard.Pruner said when

Shakespeare won the lot-tery, his life “drasticallyand dramaticallychanged”— and that themoney caused all sorts ofproblems, eventuallyleading to his death. Onedetective testified thatMoore told him thatShakespeare was tired ofpeople asking him formoney.Moore, 40, wore a yel-

low button-down blouseand black pants to court,and her long, curly hairframed her face as shehighlighted notes with ayellow marker duringWednesday’s trial.Her attorney, Byron

Hileman, said there is noevidence that ties hisclient to the gun used toshoot Shakespeare.“There are no eyewit-

nesses who can testifythat Ms. Moore shot andkilled Mr. Shakespeareor was present when hewas shot and killed orhad any part carryingout his murder,” Hile-man said, adding thatthe evidence againstMoore is mostly circum-stantial.Later in the day, wit-

nesses included two in-vestigators from thecounty medical exam-iner’s office and a sher-iff ’s detective.Dr. DolletteWhite, the

assistant medical exam-iner that worked onShakespeare’s autopsy,said his body was “mum-mified” and partiallyskeletonized.

Huey said cheat-ing at the casino is the equivalent of stealing from the state.

Bill’sbacker

wants toforce voteCOLUMBUS (AP) —

The chief advocate of ablocked Ohio bill thatwould impose the tight-est abortion restrictionin the nation vowedWednesday to use a leg-islative maneuver to tryto force a vote beforeyear’s end despite theSenate president’s oppo-sition.A host of practical and

political obstaclesquickly arose thatseemed destined to de-rail the effort.Janet Folger Porter,

president of the conser-vative action groupFaith2Action, said she’llwork to collect 17 Re-publican signatures on adischarge petition, whichcan be used to force theso-called “heartbeat bill”out of a committee.“We’ve got three

weeks to find 17 peoplewith the courage to signand say, ‘Yeah, we’regoing to end abortionnow,’” Porter said.“That’s what they ranon, that’s what they wonon, and now we’re justasking them to makegood on their word.”The bill proposed ban-

ning most abortionsafter the first detectablefetal heartbeat, as earlyas six weeks into preg-nancy. Its backers hopedsuch a restriction wouldspark a legal challengethat could lead to over-turning the U.S.Supreme Court’s 1973Roe v. Wade decisionthat legalized abortionup until viability, usuallyat 22 to 24 weeks.Porter claimed that

Republican Senate Pres-ident Tom Niehausbroke a promise to thebill’s backers Tuesdaywith his decision not toschedule a vote on thelegislation, effectivelykilling it — barring spe-cial circumstances — forthe session.Niehaus says he made

the decision to halt thebill in order to keep theSenate’s lame-duck focuson job creation and eco-nomic growth.“He did not break a

promise,” said spokes-woman Angela Meleca.Niehaus is in his final

weeks at the Statehousedue to term limits. Hecited lingering constitu-tional concerns in his de-cision not to move thebill.Porter and her allies

are flouting Niehaus’short-term status, en-couraging proponents ofthe bill to work aroundhim and focus on thenew Senate leadershipthat will take over inJanuary.Porter declined to say

whether she had thecommitment of any sen-ator to sign the dis-charge petition, norwhether one had beendrafted. She called get-ting the names “verydoable.”Porter said Niehaus

aside, 22 senators ran ona “pro-life promise.” Shealso noted that she per-sonally championed thestate’s first successfuldischarge petition in1994, forcing a vote thatled to the nation’s firstban on late-term abor-tion procedures.

COLUMBUS (AP) — New statistics show thatOhio has one of the lowest high-school graduationrates for black students, but one of the better ratesfor white students.The U.S. Department of Education comparable

state-by-state graduation numbers show that onlythree states have a wider disparity between gradu-ation rates for blacks and whites.Ohio’s graduation rate for all students was 80 per-

cent for the 2010-11 school year, the first year inwhich a common calculation was used inmost states.For black students, the rate was 59 percent. For

white students, it was 85 percent. For students whocome from poor families, it was 65 percent.Iowa had the top overall graduation rate, while

Nevada had the lowest.

Court orders1-year suspension

for OSU case lawyerCOLUMBUS (AP) —

The Ohio SupremeCourt on Wednesdaysuspended for one yearthe law license of an at-torney whose emails toJim Tressel triggered anongoing scandal andNCAA investigationthat cost the footballcoach his job at OhioState University.At issue was whether

Columbus attorneyChristopher Cicero vio-lated professional rulesof conduct that prohibitrevealing informationfrom meetings with aclient or a prospectiveclient.The 5-2 court decision

followed the recommen-dation of a disciplinaryboard that argued Cic-ero wrongly discussedinterviews with tattooparlor owner EdwardRife, a potential client.However, the court over-ruled the board’s recom-mendation for asix-month suspension.Cicero sent emails to

Tressel in April 2010,warning him that play-ers were selling memo-rabilia or trading themfor tattoos. The emailtraffic sparked the scan-dal and ended Tressel’sOhio State tenure.An NCAA investiga-

tion also led to a bowlban this year, reduc-tions in scholarshipsand the loss of OhioState’s $389,000 shareof the Big Ten bowl pota year ago. The entire

2010 season also wasvacated.Ohio State just com-

pleted a 12-0 season andis ranked No. 4 in theAP poll.Justice Judith

Lanzinger said the casewent to the heart of theimportance of confiden-tiality between aprospective client andan attorney.“Prospective clients

trust that their confi-dences will be protectedwhen they engage in aninitial consultation withan attorney,” Lanzingerwrote. “Cicero’s almostimmediate dissemina-tion of the detailed in-formation that Rifeprovided on April 15 di-rectly violated thattrust.”Justices Evelyn

Lundberg Stratton andTerrence O’Donnell dis-sented, saying theywould have imposed asix-month suspension.“Cicero’s intentions

were not for personalaggrandizement or per-sonal gain, as found bythe majority, but were toalert the coach aboutmisconduct by his play-ers that could affect theteam,” Stratton wrote.“His request that

such information beheld confidential doesnot support the notionthat he was trying toseek fame,” she said.A message was left

with Cicero’s lawyerseeking comment.

10 charged with cheatingat new Columbus casinoCOLUMBUS (AP) —

Ohio authorities saidWednesday that 10 peo-ple have been chargedwith cheating at the newColumbus casino, includ-ing some defendants whocontinued after theywere warned to stop andone who admitted he wascheating and told inves-tigators, “So what?”More charges involv-

ing the casino are com-ing, including a womanwho tried to use counter-feit $100 bills and a manwho tried to re-enterwith a gun after he wasejected.The counts outlined

Wednesday involve sus-pects who tried to in-crease or decrease theirbets after the results ofa game were known.One type of cheating,

“capping” a bet, in-volves players who seethat they’ve won andtry to secretly increasetheir bet. A relatedtype, “pinching,” in-volves players who tryto reduce their bet afterthey see that they’velost.The charges allege

cheating at table games

including blackjack,craps, roulette and bac-carat.Charges were filed

against repeat offenders,not against individualswho might have triedonce after getting carriedaway or having too muchto drink, said FranklinCounty Prosecutor RonO’Brien. One defendantwas charged with 10counts but was observed23 times, he said.O’Brien said one man

ignored investigators,even after he waswarned.“It was kind of like,

well, ‘So what? I’m enti-tled to cheat to try tobeat the game,’” O’Briensaid.But the opposite is

true, said O’Brien, a Re-publican who’s prosecut-ing the cases eventhough he opposed the2009 initiative that al-lowed casinos in thestate.“Whether it’s marbles

when you’re 7 years oldor whether it’s on thesports field in highschool, everybody knowsthat cheating’s wrong,”O’Brien said. “People

shouldn’t have any kindof attitude that cheat-ing’s OK merely becauseit’s at a casino.”One defendant, Mo-

hamed Farah Waes, dis-puted the 10 charges he’sfacing of cheating at bac-carat. Waes said he wentto the casino Oct. 18 forthe first time to celebratea friend’s birthday. Hesaid he wasn’t entirelysure how the gameworked.“I didn’t even know

what was going on. Ithink morally gamblingis wrong. It was just aspontaneous thing. Myfriends were all justdoing it — I just joined,”Waes, 22, of Reynolds-burg in suburban Colum-bus, told The AssociatedPress onWednesday.He was surprised to

hear about 10 counts,“when I didn’t even thinkI did anything wrong.”But Waes also said hehad a lawyer.Revenue from casinos

goes to cities, countiesand schools in Ohio,added Karen Huey, direc-tor of enforcement for theOhio Casino ControlCommission.

Kasich issuesanimal orderCOLUMBUS (AP) —

Gov. John Kasich hascleared the way for Ohioto enforce temporaryrules set by a board thatwas created under thestate’s new law on exoticanimals.The Dangerous and

Restricted Animals Ad-visory Board establishedinterim rules for cagesizes and the caretakingof regulated animals,such as alligators,cougars and lions. Ka-sich signed an executiveorder Tuesday that en-ables the Ohio Depart-ment of Agriculture toadopt the rules immedi-ately.The advisory board

Report shows disparityin Ohio graduation rates

BY DONNA CASSATAThe Associated Press

WASHINGTON (AP) — Amoderate Republican senator,vital to any White Househopes of getting U.N. Ambas-sador Susan Rice confirmedas secretary of state, saidWednesday she couldn’t backany nomination until morequestions are answered aboutthe deadly Sept. 11 attack inLibya and Rice’s State De-partment role during the 1998U.S. Embassy bombing inKenya.In a fresh suggestion of

eroding GOP support for Rice,Sen. Susan Collins of Maineemerged from a 90-minute,closed-door meeting with theambassador voicing new criti-cism of her initial accountabout Libya. Collins alsoquestioned what Rice, the as-sistant secretary of state forAfrican Affairs in the Clintonadministration, knew aboutrequests for enhanced em-bassy security before theNairobi truck bombing.Pressed on how she would

vote if President BarackObama names Rice to succeedSecretary of State HillaryRodham Clinton, Collins said,“I would need to have addi-tional information before Icould support her nomina-tion.”President Barack Obama

came to Rice’s defense duringa Cabinet meeting, calling her“extraordinary” and saying hecouldn’t be prouder of the jobshe has done as U.N. ambas-sador. Cabinet membersjoined Obama in applaudingRice, who attended the meet-

ing. Obama has not named areplacement for Clinton, whohas said she intends to stepdown soon.At the State Department,

Clinton was asked about herpossible replacement.“Susan Rice has done a

great job as our ambassadorto the United Nations,” Clin-ton said. “Of course, this deci-sion about my successor is upto the president, but I amvery happy he has the oppor-tunity with a second term to

make a decision.”The misgivings from

Collins, the top Republican onthe Homeland Security Com-mittee, came one day afterthree other GOP senators saidthey would try to block Rice’snomination. Sens. John Mc-Cain of Arizona, Lindsey Gra-ham of South Carolina andKelly Ayotte of New Hamp-shire said they were moretroubled than ever by Rice’sanswers on Libya even thoughthe ambassador conceded that

her much-maligned first ex-planation was wrong.In an unusual move, Rice

and acting CIA DirectorMichael Morell have held twodays of private meetings withRepublican senators in hopesof assuaging their concerns.Privately, Senate Republicanssaid they had hoped the con-versations would quiet thecriticism as they want toavoid the spectacle of a post-election challenge to a femaleAfrican-American nominee.

New blow for RiceModerate senator voices concern

Spat with neighbors soursAlbanian century party

TIRANA, Albania (AP) — Albania cel-ebrated 100 years of independenceWednesday with a military parade, fes-tive cavalcades and an 18-ton cake.But the celebrations were soured by

spats with two of the small Balkan na-tion’s four neighbors, whose officials can-celed plans to attend.Prime Minister Sali Berisha had spo-

ken Tuesday of “Albanian lands” stretch-ing from Preveza in Greece to Presevo inSerbia, and from the Macedonian capitalof Skopje to the Montenegrin capital ofPodgorica.The comments were also inscribed on

a parchment that will be displayed at amuseum in the city of Vlore, where thecountry’s independence from the Ot-toman Empire was declared in 1912.

Greek Foreign Minister DimitrisAvramopoulos promptly cancelled hisvisit to Tirana on Wednesday. A ministrystatement said comments like Berisha’s“do not contribute to creating a climate offriendship, confidence and good neigh-borly relations.”Berisha’s spokeswoman, Erla Mehilli,

said the primeminister was speaking in ahistorical context and “in no way ex-pressed any territorial claim towards ourneighbors in the south, north or east.”Separately, Macedonian President

Gjorgje Ivanov called off his visit afterMacedonian Prime Minister NicolaGruevski’s car was hit with an egg lastweek during a trip to Tirana, the Alban-ian capital.Serbian official from Kosovo Oliver

Ivanovic said: “GreaterAlbania cannot becreated without a war. Greece, Macedo-nia, Montenegro and Serbia must react tosuch dangerous aspirations.”Montenegro’s president and the prime

ministers of Hungary, Croatia and Slove-nia turned up, as well as officials fromItaly and Kosovo.Tens of thousands of ethnic Albanians

— some on foot or on horseback— arrivedfromKosovo,Macedonia andMontenegrofor the festivities, which started in Vlore.In Tirana’s central Skanderbeg

Square, an 18-ton cake was distributed tothe public, followed by a military parade.Berisha’s earlier plans to slaughter

2,000 sheep and publicly roast them forthe occasion were scrapped after an out-cry by animal rights groups.

Pot legalizationno free ride to

smoke on campusSPOKANE, Wash. (AP) —

Young voters helped pass lawslegalizing marijuana inWash-ington and Colorado, butmany still won’t be able tolight up.Most universities have

codes of conduct banning mar-ijuana use, and they get mil-lions of dollars in fundingfrom the federal government,which still considers pot ille-gal.With the money comes a re-

quirement for a drug-freecampus, and the threat of ex-pulsion for students using potin the dorms.“Everything we’ve seen is

that nothing changes for us,”said Darin Watkins, aspokesman for WashingtonState University in Pullman.So despite college cultures

that include pot-smokingdemonstrations each year onApril 20, students who wantto use marijuana will have todo so off campus.“The first thing you think

of when you think of legalizedmarijuana is college studentssmoking it,” said AnnaMarum, a Washington Statesenior from Kelso, Wash. “It’sironic that all 21-year-olds inWashington can smoke mari-juana except for college stu-dents.”Voters in November made

Washington and Colorado thefirst states to allow adultsover 21 to possess up to anounce of marijuana, and exitpolling showed both measureshad significant support fromyounger people. Taxes couldbring the states, which can setup licensing schemes for potgrowers, processors and retailstores, tens or hundreds ofmillions of dollars a year, fi-nancial analysts say.But the laws are fraught

with complications, especiallyat places like college cam-puses. At Washington State,students who violate the codeface a variety of punishments,up to expulsion,Watkins said.

NY mayor seeksmore disaster aidWASHINGTON (AP) — New York City Mayor Michael

Bloomberg appealed to congressional leaders Wednesday forquick action on providing tens of billions of dollars in new fed-eral aid to help his city and state and others recover from Su-perstorm Sandy but was told it might be some time before it’sforthcoming — and it likely won’t be all at once.Bloomberg met with more than a half-dozen lawmakers, in-

cluding several who chair or sit on committees controlling thegovernment’s purse strings, as well and both parties’ leaders inthe House and Senate.“Hurricane recovery is not a partisan issue,” he told reporters

at a news conference in between themeetings. “We have to bringtogether both sides inWashington.”NewYork state alone is seeking $42 billion in additional fed-

eral aid. New Jersey is seeking federal aid to cover most of thenearly $37 billion cost for recovery and rebuilding.So far about $2 billion in federal funds— about half for direct

assistance to individuals— have been provided to the twomostheavily damaged states and nine others in the storm’s path.There’s about $5 billion left in the Federal Emergency Manage-mentAgency’s disaster relief fund, but last year’s budget agree-ment permits President Barack Obama to seek another $5.4billion without hitting a ceiling on spending.Sen. Susan Collins ofMaine, amember of theAppropriations

Committee and the top Republican on the Homeland SecurityCommittee that oversees disaster relief, struck a skeptical noteafter her meeting with the mayor.“It’s going to be a hard sell,” she said, given Congress’s pre-

occupation with the fiscal cliff crisis and tight budget restraints.Reflecting a line taken in the past by House Budget CommitteeChairman Paul Ryan and other fiscal conservatives, she said atleast some of the new spending for Sandy relief and rebuildingshould be offset by spending cuts in other government programs.

CANDLE-LIGHTDear Heloise:

If there is apower outageand you need tolight up a room,use those largecandles thatcome in glass

jars. Place one or more ina large, stainless-steelpot for safety. Place thepot on top of a woodencutting board for light ina large space. If youwant to light up akitchen table, then putthe candles in a pot withhandles and place on thetable.You can carry a pot

with a candle in it fromroom to room, but al-ways place the pot on

your wooden cuttingboard to prevent anyheat from possibly dam-aging where the pot issitting. — Beverly G.,The Woodlands, Texas

STORAGE HINTDear Heloise: My hint

is about those nice, plas-tic zippered bags you getwhen you buy a new setof sheets. They’re greatfor storing linens andtablecloths, plus I markthe tablecloth size on thebag.This eliminates the

need to take the table-cloth out of the bag andguess whether it will fit.

I have many tableclothsthat are the same colorbut are different shapesand sizes. This hashelped me out tremen-dously when throwing aparty. — Christie L., viaemail

EMBROIDERYTHREAD

Dear Heloise: Whenyou are doing embroi-dery and don’t have aparticular floss color, youcan substitute regularsewing thread. Just takethe sewing thread anddouble or even triple it.— Doris G., Bloomfield,N.J.

CINCINNATI — TheArchdiocese of Cincin-nati and three of itsparishes (Holy Family,St John the Evangelistand St John the Baptist)recently filed suit inHamilton County Com-mon Pleas Court againsta terminated employeeand former businessmanager,Thomas ShaunMartin.The archdiocese and

the parishes seek the re-turn of not less than

$353,000 allegedly em-bezzled by Martin, whohad worked at eachparish. Extensive,strengthened financialcontrols instituted bythe archdiocese acrossall of its 214 churchesled to the discovery, thelawsuit, and the archdio-cese’s separate pursuit ofcriminal sanctionsagainst Martin throughcounty authorities, arch-diocese officials said.The archbishop, pas-

tors, church employeesand ministry volunteersare committed to employall available safeguardsto protect archdioceseassets and offerings, offi-cials said. When thosesafeguards fail, the arch-diocese will pursue resti-tution through allavailable civil and crimi-nal means.

Lehman CatholicHigh School’s Class of2013 will take a breakfrom their busy livesnext week and shift theirfocus to their relation-ship with God, school of-ficials said.The students will be

traveling to BergamoCenter in Beavercreekfor their senior retreat.A multi-day, overnightretreat in the senior yearis one of the school’sgraduation require-ments.The students will de-

part for Bergamo follow-ing classes on Tuesday.They will return toLehman late on Dec. 7.The retreat — called

Kairos — is a four-day,overnight, peer-led expe-rience geared to highschool seniors. ManyCatholic high schoolsacross the country usethe Kairos model fortheir senior retreats.This is the 19th yearthat Lehman has usedthe program.Kairos is the Greek

word for time — “God’stime.” In Scripture,Kairos is a time of salva-tion. In the context ofthe retreat, Kairosmeans a time away fromchronos or clock time,the ordinary day-to-daytime in which we followschedules and become

immersed in tasks andassignments that needto be completed. AtKairos, the students putthemselves on God’stime and connect withGod and their class-mates without the stressof daily to-do lists. Thechallenge of Kairos is tolive out that message in

everyday life.Joe Schmiesing, him-

self a Lehman grad andcurrent faculty member,is the retreat director.Schmiesing noted thatKairos is a time for stu-dents to “see themselveson a deeper level.”“Students are chal-

lenged to break through

the walls that are oftenconstructed as defensemechanisms betweenthemselves and others,”he said. “The hope is thatthe spirit of Kairos willextend beyond the re-treat, beyond their sen-ior year, and into the restof their lives.”One unique charac-

teristic about the Kairosprogram is that the re-treat is facilitated by thestudents themselves.Students who werecalled to lead their class-mates on this year’s re-treat attended Kairos 32last year as juniors.They have been workingwith Schmiesing sincepreparing to lead theirclassmates this year.Similarly, a group of jun-iors are attending thisretreat with the seniorsto prepare to lead Kairos34 for their class nextDecember.Student leaders for

Kairos 33 include Hay-ley Baker, LaurenBosway, Daniel Davis,Louis Gaier, MichaelJacob, Ethan Jock, KatieRossman and EllieWaldsmith. Adult lead-ers who will accompanythe students from theLehman staff includeSchmiesing, Jack Albers,Scott Greve, Joe Har-rmann, Barb Saluke andSister Ginny Scherer.

Lehman chaplain theRev. Daniel Hess will ac-company the group asthe spsiritual director.Liz Maxson will be at-tending as an observer.Junior students who

will be attending the re-treat so that they canlead their classmatesnext year includePatrick Blenman,Patrick Pudlewski,Kristopher Lee, GabeBerning, Jenna Kronen-berger, Grace Frantz,Katie Heckman,MeghanSafreed, Lauren Vander-horst and OliviaSehlhorst.Students at Lehman

Catholic currently havethe opportunity to par-ticipate in a retreat ex-periences three of theirfour years of high school.“Religious retreats

have been a part of thechurch’s tradition forcenturies,” LehmanCatholic President MikeBarhorst said. “Theyhave their roots in sa-cred Scripture and areas old as Christianity.The Gospels of St. Luke,St. Matthew and St.Mark reflect Christ’sfasting in the desert for40 days, giving rise tothe practice of settingaside time from our ordi-nary work to reconnectwith God in a way nototherwise possible.”

U n f o r t u -nately, in a way,Catholics arekind of wimpy.As Christians,Catholics aresupposed to beall about tellingothers of Jesus,proclaiming theGood News ofthe PaschalMystery: thatthe Father lovesus so much, hesent his Son, toteach us, heal us, forgiveus and, by his suffering,death and resurrection,save us for eternal life.However, truth beknown, Catholics areoften timid. Why sowimpy? There are a cou-ple of reasons.As we get older, we

are naturally less ener-getic. We get set in ourways and retire. The oldage of the church can beboth a blessing and acurse.

Traces rootsIt is a blessing be-

cause the CatholicChurch traces its rootsback over 2,000 years di-rectly to Jesus. MostChristian churches tracetheir roots back to theCatholic Church aroundthe time of the 1500sand through theCatholic Church toJesus. Living and vi-brant institutions thatcan trace roots to thefirst century are slim tonone — a sign of theHoly Spirit’s and Jesus’presence.At the same time, age

can be a curse. Since the

church’s begin-ning, the EvilOne continuesto try to renderthe CatholicChurch ineffec-tive. Somemembers andeven leaders ofthe church havec o o p e r a t e dknowingly andunknowingly inthe Prince ofDarkness’ pri-mary work —

division not unity — di-vide and conquer. Some-times I wonder howhappy the Father of Liesis when a new church isfounded, particularlyfrom a church that expe-riences some kind of adisagreement or division.

Other evilsAlso, with old age can

come other evils like fa-miliarity (which weknow can breed con-tempt), paralysis, smug-ness and loss of identityand energy. These arereal dangers for mem-bers of the CatholicChurch, dangers whichneed to be constantlycountered by the HolySpirit.In short, “as it was in

the beginning, is nowand will be forever” bothblessing and curse, per-fection and imperfectionare present in theCatholic Church. AsCatholic evangelistMatthew Kelly pro-claims, the CatholicChurch is made up of abillion members in everyplace imaginable. Youget that much humanity

together, there is boundto be imperfection: “ ..find a perfect church,join it and guess what?That church isn’t perfectany more!” However,lacking perfection doesnot mean lacking Christ,the Spirit, profound holi-ness and the fullness oftruth.The second reason

members of the CatholicChurch might be a bitwimpy is that the churchhas experienced persecu-tion throughout thecourse of time, just asJesus promised. EvenCatholics in Sidney ex-perienced anti-Catholic-prejudice andpersecution in the mid-1800s, as Holy AngelsChurch was setfire/damaged during theKnownothing movementin the country. Fromtime to time hints ofsuch anti-Catholic senti-ment can be experiencedeven today. Such senti-ment can be intimidat-ing.

Year of FaithThankfully, the

Catholic Church in theArchdiocese of Cincin-nati is using this Year ofFaith, as proclaimed byPope Benedict XVI, as atime to call Catholics outof our timidity.Catholics are beingcalled to realize the im-portance of evangeliza-tion and lifelong faithformation, about whichCatholics can learnmuch from our fellowChristians.In a movement to-

ward greater evangeliza-

tion, as we read in apress release in the Sid-ney Daily News twoweeks ago, from Dec. 14to Jan. 20, the CatholicChurch in the archdio-cese will be reaching outwith a media blitz toCatholics who are not asconnected as they couldbe with the CatholicChurch. Go to catholic-scomehome.org and viewthe TV commercial titled“epic” to rediscoverJesus’ awesome accom-plishments past andpresent in the CatholicChurch.

Better valueCatholics already

faithfully connected tothe church are called tobetter value lifelongfaith formation, for ex-ample, through the giftof Matthew Kelly’s book,“Rediscover Catholi-cism,” which Catholicswill receive at ChristmasMasses in the archdio-cese. Attend Mass onChristmas to receive oneor call a parish near youand ask for a copy.Despite the imperfec-

tions and sins of ourtime, the CatholicChurch is experiencing arenewal. By the grace ofChrist may this Year ofFaith and the NewEvangelization unfold asthe beginning of one ofthe many golden ages ofthe Catholic Church!

Secondhand smoke is hazard

Boyfriend can’t fill father’s shoes for daughter

DEAR DRS.D O N O H U EAND ROACH: Iam 74 years oldand recently washospitalized withpneumonia.Whilethere, I had X-rays and CTscans. I havenever smoked,butI have been exposed to alot of secondhand smoke. Ihave been diagnosed withasthma and emphysema.I would appreciate know-ing the treatment for this,as they say there is nocure.— J.H.

ANSWER: The lungsare the body’s breathingapparatus, and they con-sist of tiny air sacs, calledalveoli, the place whereoxygen and carbon diox-ide are exchanged. Em-physema is a disease thatdestroys the connectivetissue in the lung, leadingto loss of these alveoli.

Fewer alveoli, lessoxygen exchange.In industrial

countries, emphy-sema is almost al-ways caused bysmoking tobacco,and it’s a progres-sive process —with continuedsmoke exposure,

there is further loss oflung tissue.The airway obstruction

in emphysema is due tothe destruction of the con-nective tissue, whichcauses the airways to col-lapse.Asthma also causesobstruction, but it’s gener-ated by constriction ofsmooth muscle inside air-ways. The obstruction byasthma is reversible withrelaxation of the musclefibers, and also by reduc-ing the inflammation in-side the lungs.Your smoke exposure

came from somebody

else’s tobacco, and it is im-portant to note that sec-ondhand smoke is amajorcause of disease: lung dis-ease (both asthma andemphysema), heart dis-ease and cancer. Just likeanyone, the first step intreatment is to stop thesmoke exposure. For asmoker, that means quit-ting, but for people likeyou, exposed to second-hand smoke, that meansthe person exposing youto smoke can’t smoke nearyou or where you live orwork. That is not alwayseasy, but the sooner youdo that, the sooner thedamage to your lung willstop. Still, some peoplearen’t diagnosed untilafter they have alreadyquit (or the person expos-ing them has).There are numerous

medications to help thesymptoms of asthma andemphysema: Many medi-

cines work for both condi-tions. Some are inhaled,like albuterol, which re-laxes smooth muscle inairways, and corticos-teroids, which reduce in-flammation. Others, likeSingulair, which also re-duces inflammation, aretaken by mouth.Emphysema and

asthma both are usuallytreated by an internist ora pulmonologist, a special-ist in lung problems.

DEAR ABBY:Myhusband committedsuicide 2 1/2 yearsago. We had beenmarried for 13 yearsand had two daugh-ters who are now 15and 9.The l5-year-oldseems to be doingfine.The 9-year-old isnot.But my biggest

problem is my live-inboyfriend, “Tim.”While I love him andmostly enjoy his company,he appears to dislike my9-year-old. She needsmale attention becauseher dad was an attentive,wonderful father. I havediscussed this with Tim.His response is he has ahard time doing it becauseshe is “totally out of con-trol and crazy.”Abby, she is none of

that. She is a child with alot of energy.I don’t know what to

do. I know it isn’t fair to

my daughter,but I’m lonelyand miss Timwhen he’s notthere. I’d ap-preciate anyadvice you cangive me. —TRYING TOMOVE ON INOHIO

D E A RTRYING: Iam so sorry foryour loss.

However, parents get onlyone chance at parenting,which iswhy it’s so impor-tant to do it right the firsttime. What is happeningin your household is un-fair to your daughter. Sheshould not be forced to livewith a man who doesn’tlike her and can’t give herpositive reinforcement.That’s why, for her

sake, it would be better foryou andTim to live apart.If you choose him overyour daughter, you will

later regret it and couldcause her serious emo-tional problems fordecades.

DEAR ABBY: Theholidays are right aroundthe corner, and my hus-band and I have had a dif-ficult couple of yearsfinancially. I’m a full-timestudent;he is the only onebringing in an incomewhile we raise two youngboys.I love the holidays —

except for shopping forothers. I hate spendingmoney I don’t have look-ing for that perfect gift foreveryone on my list.Moreoften than not, the giftends up being re-gifted orin the summer garagesale. For the past twoyears I have asked that ifpeople want to give gifts,to please give them to thekids and leave us adultsout of it.My requests havebeen ignored.

I know for a fact thatmy extended family is asstrapped for cash as I am,but they charge on creditcards. Should I refuse agift I can’t reciprocate orthank them and try not tofeel guilty?The name exchange

option didn’t work. I feelthere should be more tothe holidays than goinginto debt for gifts. — MAHUMBUG IN OREGON

To yourgood

healthDr. Paul G.Donohue

andDr. KeithRoach

DR. WAL-LACE: I’m 16and so is myboyfriend, andwe love eachother. Ourfriends call usRomeo andJuliet. Lastweek, he foundout that he’ll bemoving to Ire-land because hisdad’s work istransferring himto Dublin. He’ll be mov-ing in a month. Hewants us to continuebeing a couple and notdate others. He says hewill be returning toBoston when he is 18.Allmy friends are tellingme to stay true to himbecause he’s such a neatguy, but I don’t think Iwant to sit at home andwait two years before Ieven see him again. I’vebeen giving this a lot ofthought. I’d really beupset if I agreed to waitfor him and then hestops contacting me, orhe emails me that hemet this “wonderfulIrish girl” and is going totake her out.

I’m reallyleaning towardtelling him tohave a full so-cial life in Ire-land, and I’ll dothe same inBoston. I’ll tellhim I love him,and if we bothfeel the sameway about eachother when hereturns, we canrenew our rela-

tionship then. I knowyou’ll agree with me, butI’ll feel much better if Isee it in writing. — T.J.,Boston, Mass.

T.J.: You are a verywise and mature younglady. I agree with you100 percent.

DR. WALLACE: I’ma very bright studentand have been acceptedat the University of Vir-ginia in 2013. But I nowthink I’d like to take ayear off from books andschool so I can travel,work part-time and justspend time with myfriends. Then I’d be re-freshed for four intenseyears of college. My par-ents don’t think this is a

good idea. They think I’dbe wasting a year of mylife. What do you think?—Tina, Richmond, Va.

TINA: Spending ayear the way you de-scribe would not bewasted. It could be pro-ductive and extremelyvaluable in terms of youroverall development.While many studentsenter college immedi-ately after high schoolfor no better reason than“it’s the thing to do,”there’s no reason youcan’t do something dif-ferent with your life.Indeed, taking a

break between highschool and college is be-coming increasingly pop-ular.According to a UCLA

study, about 70,000 col-lege freshmen chose totake a year off before en-tering college.

DR. WALLACE:There’s this girl I’mthinking of asking out,but since I’ve never beenon a date before, I’m notsure what kind of date tosuggest.Should we do some-

thing revolving around

what I like (sports,music) or should I findout what she likes andtry to do those things? Ifshe says yes, I don’t wantto wind up just going tothe movies like mostteens do on first dates.—Todd, Brunswick, Ga.

TODD: After she ac-cepts your invitation fora date, tell her whatyour interests are andfind out what she enjoys.Then decide togetherwhat you’d like to do.That way, the chances ofgoing out on a seconddate, and a third, arevery high.

I never get the numbers that come fromthe machine I just play numbers that randomly come to me at that particulartime. Its birthdays and just numbers that I’ve been thinking about. They justsort of pop into my head and so anybody can win, why not me? I’m Just say-ing a little bit a prayer and hoping that I win when they draw tonight.”

was buying her firstPowerball ticket at an-other store in Atlanta,even though she ac-knowledged her oddswere probably “zero tozero.”Still, Powell has spe-

cific plans should shewin: start an Internetcafe in the West Indiesand a learning center inGeorgia.“I’ve been thinking

about winning thismoney and what I’d dowith it,” Powell said.“There’s no ritual, but it’sjust been on my mind. Soit’s like, let me just jointhe hype and just do it.”Atlanta accountant

Benita Lewis, who hadnever played the lotterybefore, didn’t want to bethe only one left in her of-fice without a ticket.“I did feel nervous

buying it like I could bethe one,” she said. “I’m

going to retire and pay offall my family’s debt.”In Philadelphia,

seafood salesman BillyFulginiti bought 50Powerball tickets withco-workers and a fewmore with a small group.He said he only playswhen the jackpot is espe-cially large.“You go to bed at night

POWERBALL From Page 1

Big winners sharelessons, risks ofPowerball win

BY ALAN SCHERZAGIER

The Associated Press

COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP)— So you just won the$500 million Powerballjackpot, the second high-est in lottery history.Nowwhat?Perhaps it’s time for a

tropical vacation or a newcar. There are bills to pay,loans to settle, debts tosquare.Past winners of mega-

lottery drawings and fi-nancial planners havesome more sound advice:Stick to a budget, investwisely, learn to say no andbe prepared to losefriends while riding anemotional roller-coaster ofjoy, anxiety, guilt and dis-trust.“I had to adapt to this

new life, “said SandraHayes, 52, a former childservices social workerwho split a $224 millionPowerball jackpot with adozen co-workers in 2006,collecting a lump sum shesaid was in excess of $6million after taxes. “I hadto endure the greed andthe need that people have,trying to get you to re-lease your money tothem.That caused a lot ofemotional pain.These arepeople who you’ve loveddeep down, and they’returning into vampirestrying to suck the life outof me.”The singlemother kept

her job with the state ofMissouri for anothermonth and immediatelyused her winnings to payoff an estimated $100,000in student loans and a$70,000 mortgage. Shespent a week in Hawaiiand bought a new Lexus,but six years later stillshops at discount storesand lives on a fixed in-come—albeit, at a highermonthly allowance thanwhen she brought homepaychecks of less than$500 a week.“I know a lot of people

who won the lottery andare broke today,” she said.“If you’re not disciplined,you will go broke. I don’tcare how much moneyyou have.”Lottery agencies are

keen to show off beamingprize-winners huggingoversize checks at cele-bratory news conferences,

but the tales of big lotterywinners who wind up infinancial ruin, despair orboth are increasinglycommon.There’s the two-time

New Jersey lottery win-ner who squandered her$5.4 million fortune. AWest Virginia man whowon $315 million adecade ago on Christmaslater said the windfallwas to blame for hisgranddaughter’s fataldrug overdose, his di-vorce, hundreds of law-suits and an absence oftrue friends.The National Endow-

ment for Financial Edu-cation cautions those whoreceive a financial wind-fall — whether from lot-tery winnings, divorcesettlements, cashed-outstock options or family in-heritances — to plan fortheir psychological needsas well as their financialstrategies. The Denver-based nonprofit estimatesthat as many as 70 per-cent of people who landsudden windfalls losethat money within sev-eral years.“Being able to manage

your emotions before youdo anything sudden is oneof the biggest things,” saidendowment spokesmanPaul Golden. “If you’venever had the comfort offinancial security before,if you were really ekingout a living from pay-check to paycheck, ifyou’ve never managedmoney before, it can be re-ally confusing. There’sthis false belief that nomatter what you do,you’re never going toworry about moneyagain.”David Gehle, who

spent 20 years at a Ne-braskameatpacking plantbefore he and sevenConAgra Foods co-work-ers won a $365 millionPowerball jackpot in 2006,used some of his winningsto visit Australia, NewGuinea and Vietnam. Heleft ConAgra three weeksafter he won, and nowspends his time wood-working and playing rac-quetball, tennis and golf.But most of his win-

nings are invested, andthe 59-year-old still livesin his native Lincoln. Hewaited for several yearsbefore buying a $450,000home in a tidy neighbor-hood on the southernedge of town.“My roots are in Ne-

braska, and I’m not allthat much different nowthan I was before,” Gehlesaid. “I’m pretty normal. Inever was the kind of guywho went for big, expen-sive cars or anything likethat. I just want some-thing that runs.”In the first year after

he won, Michael Terpstrawould awaken manynights in a panic. Had heslept in? Was he late towork the night shift?

“At times I’d wake upand this would all seemlike a dream,” the 54-year-old said. “I’d have towalk around the houseand tell myself, I did win.I’m not working anymore,and I do live here. I didn’tget drunk, break intosomeone’s house and go tosleep. This is where I’msupposed to be.”His new home is a

roomy, two-story house insouth Lincoln with a big-screen television andpaintings of Jesus on thewalls. He no longer usesalarm clocks and spendshis days taking his 92-pound black lab,Rocco, onwalks.He was terrified when

he first won, convincedthat he would lose all ofthemoney and have to re-turn to work. So he livescarefully off the interestfrom conservative invest-ments, with help from ac-countants and lawyers.He bought the new houseand a truck, but strugglesto name any extravagantpurchases.“I can’t buy a super

yacht. I can’t buy a Gulf-stream,” he said. “Thenagain, I don’t think I’d useeither one, so whywould Ibuy one?”That said, some mega-

winners still can’t resistthe lure of big jackpots, atleast not the two-buckchances. On Tuesday, for-mer ConAgra workerDungTran, aVietnameseimmigrant, walked intothe same Lincoln U-Stopwhere he purchased thewinning ticket six yearsago and bought 22 morefrom the very employeewho sold him the firstprize-winner, said cashierJanice Mitzner.“We joked about it,” she

said.“I told him, ‘Wouldn’tit be something if youwonagain?’”Hayes is also hoping to

strike rich again — shebought 10 tickets at aDirt Cheap liquor store onher way home Tuesdaywhile speaking with anAssociated Press reporter.Unlikemany big winners,she has kept a visiblepublic profile instead ofgoing underground, ap-pearing on a 2007 realityTV show (“Million DollarChristmas”), writing anonline Life After the Lot-tery blog and self-publish-ing a short book, “HowWinning the LotteryChanged My Life.”“We have this drawing

tomorrow, and if some-body wins, God blessthem,” she said. “They’regoing to need those bless-ings.”

It’s going to be a uniqueopening weekend for Countybasketball, which opens Fri-day night.Both Paul Bremigan at

Russia and Nate Barhorst atAnna will be coaching againstformer players in their seasonopeners, Barhorst Fridayagainst Justin Tidwell of Fair-lawn, and Bremigan Saturdaynight against Eric Rosenbeckof St. Henry.There will be just two

County games on tap Satur-day, with Russia idle, Botkinsplaying in the Ben Logan tour-nament, and Fort Loramieplaying at New Knoxville in anon-league game. County basketball has been

elevated to the top brand in thearea the last couple years, as ev-idenced by back-to-back yearswhere teams advanced to thestate tournament, Houston two

years ago and Jackson Centerlast season.Jackson, 27-1 last season

with a lot of talent returning,takes on Houston, and Annameets Fairlawn in the twoleague games.On Saturday, Botkins will

again be in the Ben Logan tour-nament, Loramie hosts Ansonia,Houston is home to Newton, andRussia hosts St. Henry.

RussiaRussia coach Paul Bremi-

gan is preparing for a home-coming of sorts.His Raiders have Friday

night off and Bremigan andhis staff will, of course, try tosee as many teams play aspossible. Then on Saturday,the Raiders will open the sea-son at home against the St.Henry Redskins, who ad-vanced to the regional tourna-ment last year before losing to

Jackson Center.St. Henry is coached by

Russia graduate Eric Rosen-beck, a former player ofBremigan's. And the Russiacoach is looking forward to themeeting.“Eric and I talked and we

decided if we ever went to 22games, we would scheduleeach other,” he said. “Eric is agreat young coach and did agreat job last year. But asmuch as I like him, I want tobeat him Saturday night.”Bremigan said the Redskins

“didn’t lose too much” from theteam that played in the re-gional last season, so he knowsit’s going to be a battle.“They’re going to be bigger

than us so we’re going to haveto rebound and play well atthe defensive end,” he said.Russia has just three let-

termen back this year butBremigan likes what he seesout of his team so far.“I think we’ve made

progress every scrimmage,” hesaid. “We can still get betterdefensively, can always get bet-ter guarding the ball and beingwhere we’re supposed to be.But this is a good group thatcan go nine deep. It’s a prettyversatile group and each onebrings something different tothe table, which is nice.”Treg Francis heads the re-

turnees after averaging 13.1points per game last season.“He’s our highest returning

scorer but I don’t think teamscan focus too much on him,”Bremigan said. “Nolan Fran-cis and Adam Hoying areplaying well and we have sen-iors like Trevor Sherman,Bryce Dues and Austin Gari-ety that we can get pointsfrom. So I think we can be abalanced team in terms ofscoring. This group has reallybeen sharing the ball well andrunning good offense.”

CINCINNATI (AP) — TheReds signed Jonathan Brox-ton to a three-year, $21 mil-lion contract on Wednesday,giving the NL Central cham-pions a potential closer and achance to reconfigure theirstarting rotation.Broxton came to the Reds

last July in a trade withKansas City and was part oftheir push toward the play-offs. He filled in as the closerwhen Aroldis Chapman camedown with a tired shoulderand had four saves in sixchances overall with a 2.82ERA, impressing the Reds.Now, they have the option

of turning Chapman into astarter, which was the planlast season until closer RyanMadsen tore up his pitchingelbow.Broxton’s deal pays him a

$4 million base salary in 2013,$7 million in 2014 and $9 mil-lion in 2015. There’s a club op-tion for another year at $9million with a $1 million buy-out. He also got a limited no-trade provision. Broxton getsto pick 10 teams each yearthat would be acceptable in atrade. If he’s dealt, the cluboption becomes a mutual op-tion and the buyout increases

by $1 million.It’s Cincinnati’s second big

decision of the offseason. TheReds also brought back man-ager Dusty Baker on a two-year deal. Cincinnati alsowould like to upgrade its lead-off spot in the batting order.The 28-year-old Broxton

missed most of the 2011 sea-son with the Dodgers becauseof a bone spur in his elbowthat required surgery. Heagreed to a $4 million, one-year deal with Kansas Citylast season, starting as asetup man for closer JoakimSoria. He assumed the closingrole in March, when Soria hadto have reconstructive elbowsurgery.Broxton had 23 saves in 27

chances for Kansas City. Hewas surprised when the Redstraded for him, looking to up-grade their setup situationas they closed in on the play-offs.“He wanted to be in Kansas

City long-term because hegrew to like it there,” agentB.B. Abbott said. “When he gotto Cincinnati, he went with alittle bit of a heavy heart.When he got there, he realizedthis is a pretty great place. Hereally liked Dusty and the

guys in the clubhouse, and thefront-office staff was tremen-dous. He and his wife andfamily thought in the back oftheir minds this might be aplace to put down some roots.”Broxton talked to several

teams about a multiyear dealbefore deciding to stick withthe Reds, who expect to be acontender. Cincinnati has wonthe division two of the lastthree years, losing in the firstround of the playoffs bothtimes.“He thinks this team is

plugged in, is ready to win,”Abbott said.The Reds planned to use

Chapman as a starter lastseason, seeing how his 100mph fastball fared in his moreaccustomed role. When Mad-son got hurt along withCincinnati’s two setup reliev-ers during spring training, theReds moved Chapman to thebullpen and Baker eased himinto the closing role.Chapman saved 27 consec-

utive chances and was 38 of43 overall in save opportuni-ties with a 1.55 ERA in 68 ap-pearances. The Reds arehoping to give him a chance tomake the rotation next sea-son.

The Sidney Lady Jacketssuffered their first loss of theseason Wednesday in girlsbasketball, with Beavercreektaking a 58-43 victory.Sidney is now 2-1 on the

year and plays at Wayne nextWednesday.Beavercreek held Sidney’s

Konner Harris without a three-pointer after she hit 15 in thefirst two games. She finishedwith 13 points to lead Sidneyand Monique Hanayik andSylvia Hudson had 12 apiece.“We got down 9-0 in the

first quarter and had to tryand edge back into the game,”said Sidney coach MeganMummey. “Monique got theoffense going by knockingdown a big three from the cor-ner and we made a 15-7 runthat got it down to one at theend of the quarter. But dumbfouls and lack of reboundingreally halted the momentumand we were down 13 at thehalf.”Shooting was a problem for

the Lady Jackets. They werejust 15-for-53 for the game. Inaddition, they were outre-bounded badly, 36-18.“Beavercreek got after us

and played exceptional de-fense,” said Mummey. “Theyreally challenged us. Theywere a very solid team andknocked down shot after shot.”Harris scored eight points

in the opening period but washeld to just one field goal, inthe fourth quarter, and threefree throws after that.She finished 7-for-8 from

the line“We kept it close until mid-

way through the fourth quar-ter,” Mummey said. “It justwasn’t our shooting night. ButI give my girls credit for notgiving up when we got behindby 22.

NASCAR will go backto the dirt for the firsttime since 1970 whenthe Truck Series vis-its Eldora Speed-way in Ohio.The July 24

event at the TonyStewart-ownedtrack in Rossburgwill be a lead-in to theSprint Cup and Nation-wide Series races laterthat weekend at Indi-anapolisMotor Speedway.Stewart, a three-time

NASCAR champion, be-lieved the Wednesdaynight race would attractdrivers from all threeNASCAR national levelsand maybe even otherseries.“Younger drivers and

veterans from the Worldof Outlaws, late models,USAC drivers that willhave an opportunity toland rides for that race... Wednesday night atthat time of the year isnormally a pretty freenight,” Stewart said. “Itgives us an opportunityto get guys in there thatdon’t normally have thatchance.”The deal to race at El-

dora was announcedWednesday as part ofnext season’s 22-raceschedule, which will alsoinclude the series’ firstinternational stop. TheCamping World TruckSeries will visit Cana-

dian Tire MotorsportPark in Ontario in Sep-tember. It will be thefirst road-course trackfor the series since 2000,and ensure a NASCARnational series pres-ence in Canadafor a seventhconsecutive sea-son.“It’s very impor-

tant that we main-tain our national seriespresence in Canada,”said NASCAR senior vicepresident of racing oper-ations Steve O’Donnell.“We’ve accomplishedthat goal while alsobringing a world-classvenue like CanadianTireMotorsport Park onboard. The Canadian fanbase is so passionate andhas a high regard forNASCAR.”The Eldora race has

long been rumored, but adeal could not be put to-gether until safety ex-perts from theUniversity of Nebraskavisited the track Mondayto determine if SAFER

barriers needed to be in-stalled. Although it wasdecided that the trackneeds some minor modi-fications to the insidewalls, actual soft wallswill not be installed.“We are going to be

making changes to theexits and entrances tothe pit areas,” Stewartsaid. “That’s stuff we al-ready started looking at.With the university’shelp, they’re helping usmake that even betterthan what we hadplanned. “The format of the race

is undecided, and itcould include heat races.“We are looking at

how races are competedat dirt tracks historicallywith heat races or lastchance races,” O’Donnellsaid.Stewart and Austin

Dillon participated in anOctober compatibilitytest to determine if thetrucks were a fit at El-dora, and Stewart saidWednesday that rainhad made the conditions

less than favorable. Butaside from removing thesplitter from the trucks,Stewart said there wereno issues.At the time, Stewart

believed it was just atest. But because it wentso well, he quickly deter-mined he had a real shotat landing a race at hisspeedway.“I didn’t actually hon-

estly believe that it wasgoing to gain the mo-mentum that it had,” hesaid. “Obviously, thisyear when the discus-sions came up again, theinterest was there, I wasdefinitely pleased andcaught off guard by it forsure. But definitely atthat point, realizing thateveryone at NASCARwas genuinely interestedin doing it, it was some-thing we put the fullcourt press on.”

AnnaRussia coach Paul

Bremigan isn’t the onlyCounty coach that willbe squaring off with aformer player in the sea-son opener.Ditto for Anna head

coach Nate BarhorstThe Rockets will host

the high-powered Fair-lawn Jets Friday nightto open the season, andthe Jets are coached thisyear by Justin Tidwell,fondly referred to byBarhorst as “JT.”Tidwell played for

Barhorst on the fresh-man team at Anna, andfor him again when hemoved up to coach thejunior varsity.“JT was a hard

worker when I had himand he’s going to bring alot of those same quali-ties to Fairlawn,”Barhorst said. “I thinkhe’ll be good for theirprogram.”The Jets pose a real

challenge defensivelywith the presence of An-thony Gillem and TreyEverett. Gillem is lightsout from anywhere onthe floor and is as big athree-point threat asthere is in the area. AndEverett is an athleticplayer who can do justabout anything on thecourt.Gillem averaged 21

points before his seasonwas cut short by a wristinjury midway throughlast year. Everett aver-aged 13 points a gameand was second in theCounty in assists.“We’re going to have

to bring the defense,”Barhorst said. “I thinkour players are startingto buy into what we’retrying to do on defense.Hopefully things willwork out in our favorFriday, but I won’t besorry to see those twoFairlawn kids graduate.”Barhorst said he sees

the team chemistrystarting to evolve on hissquad.“We’re starting to see

some good things,” hesaid. “Depth is a little bitof an issue but we haveguys stepping into thoseroles. Rebounding is al-ways a concern, too.”Chandon Williams,

who came back from afoot injury to play foot-ball this season, could bethe Rockets’ go-to player.“He’s a guy that willhave to be relied on,”Barhorst said. “We’ll callhis name a lot and wehope he can also give ussome things on defense.”

Jackson CenterThe Jackson Center

Tigers didn’t lose untilthe last possible game ofthe season, the statechampionship game.And with several keyplayers back from thatsquad, one would thinkthis year’s team has atarget on its back.But head coach Scott

Elchert doesn’t see itthat way.“Last year is last year

and this year is thisyear,” he said. “I don’tthink what we did lastyear will play into whathappens this year. Thisis a different team andright now we’re just try-ing to be more consistentthan we were in presea-son. At both ends of thefloor. It’s something weneed to work on becausethey don’t wipe thescoreboard clean aftereach quarter.”The Tigers were 27-1

and return starters likeTrey Elchert, the coach’sson, Alex Meyer andGavin Wildermuth. AndElchert thinks he hasthe depth this season goto as many as nine play-ers deep if he needs to.But the one key

player lost to gradua-tion, Andy Hoying, istough to replace.“The thing about

Andy is we could alwayscount on him for a bigbucket or a big rebound,but moreso we could al-ways put him on the op-

posing team’s bestplayer,whether it be in-side or outside,” Elchertsaid. “So we’re going tomiss him on both ends ofthe court.“But we have a real

nice nucleus comingback and we feel goodabout this team,” headded.Ironically, the Tigers

open with Houston Fri-day, and Houston is justtwo years removed fromits own trip to the statetournament. Elchertsaid he expects a goodone Friday night.“They have a first-

team all-county playerback in Jesse Phlipot. Hedid that as a sophomore,so that says a lot rightthere,” Elchert said. “Weknow they will play hardand play good defense,and we have to matchthat.”

FairlawnThe Jets have a new

coach this year in JustinTidwell, and he’s in anironic situation as heprepares for the seasonopener Friday night.The game is at Anna,

from where Tidwellgraduated. And in hisvery first game as a headcoach, he will be goingup against an old men-tor. He played freshmanand junior varsity ballunder Anna head coachNate Barhorst.“My first game as a

head coach is at Anna,”said Tidwell, letting thestatement hang there awhile. “It will be nice togo back, but it’s all busi-ness. We’re going to gothere and try to takecare of what we need todo.”Tidwell has two of the

league’s top players re-turning in AnthonyGillem and Trey Everett,a pair of all-County sen-iors. Gillem was lightingit up at about 21 pointsper game last season be-fore he was injured mid-way through. AndEverett averaged 13 pergame and is expected to

come up big again thisseason.“Anthony is a great

ball player and everyoneknows he can shoot,”Tidwell said. “Trey is anoutstanding athlete whoreally worked hard overthe summer. I think he’llbe fun to watch this sea-son. Overall, we havegood team speed andquickness and we hopethat will make up forwhat we lack in height.Preseason went well,with a lot of tough com-petition. I felt we playedpretty good half-courtdefense which was reallygood to see consideringthey probably gave uptoo many points lastyear.”The Jets will be tak-

ing on an Anna teamthat’s a bit short on ex-perience this season, butTidwell knows his teamis facing a big challengeon the road.“They graduated a lot

last year but they will bea traditional Anna team,physical and wanting topound it inside,” Tidwellsaid. “And they havegreat athletes as well.Chandon Williams isback and will be toughfor anyone to handle.And Carter Bensman isa good shooter and willhave to be watched.We’re going to need to beready to play defense.”

HoustonHouston and Jackson

Center meet Friday in amatchup of two teamsthat have been to thestate tournament thepast two seasons.But longtime Houston

coach John Willoughbysays there’s a big differ-ence.“When we went to

state two years ago, welost everybody to grad-uation after that sea-son,” he said. “Theyhave four players backwho were a big part ofthat team.”The Wildcats return

one of the County’s bestlast year in 6-foot-4

Jesse Phlipot, still just ajunior.“Jesse has to play his

best for us, but we reallybelieve we have otherkids that will be able tostep up,” saidWilloughby. “Depth willbe a problem. We onlyhave seven right now, sowe’ll have to groom someJV players to come upand be ready by midsea-son.”He said the Cats were

streaky in preseason.“We would have quarterswhere we would score30, then come back andscore eight,” he said.“We’re capable of scor-ing, but we need to beready at the beginning.We started slow toomany times.”He knows his team

has its hands full atJackson Friday.“I think (Alex) Meyer

will pick up where AndyHoying left off last year,”he said. “But they havegreat shooters. We’regoing to have to be ableto guard the perimeter,the jumper and thedrive.”He expects to face a

zone Saturday nightagainst Newton.“That’s always tough

early in the year, but wehave the shooters,” hesaid. “And passing wasprobably the brightestspot coming out of pre-season.”

Fort LoramiePreseason was too

short, says Fort Loramiecoach Karl Ratermann,who is preparing histeam for a double week-end right out of the boxthis season.“It just seems like it

would be nice if we couldget more reps,” he said.“We’ve got some experi-ence back, but at thesame time, we startedthree sophomores and ajunior at the end of theyear. And we’re just nowgetting our basketballlegs back.”The Redskins will

have a tough opener Fri-

and their tallest guy is 6-3,” said Ratermann.“After that, I don’t knowa lot about them, exceptthat they lost their lead-ing scorer from last year(Lucas Leffel).“They’re young but it’s

always a great atmos-phere there,” he added. “Ican see it being a fast-paced game so I justhope we bring some en-ergy.”Ratermann was

SPORTS IN BRIEF

BY ASSOCIATED PRESS

Atlantic Coast Conference leaders got the schoolthey wanted. Louisville was relieved to find a homeamid the latest wave of realignment.The ACC announced Wednesday that its presi-

dents and chancellors unanimously voted to addLouisville as the replacement for Maryland, whichwill join the Big Ten in 2014.Louisville was a candidate to join the Big 12 last

year before that league took West Virginia.But it was’t a lock for the Cardinals.A person familiar with the situation told The As-

sociated Press that ACC leaders also consideredConnecticut and Cincinnati over the past week be-fore the vote to add Louisville during a conferencecall Wednesday morning. The person spoke to theAP on condition of anonymity because the ACC has-n't released details of the expansion discussions.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Royals havetraded right-hander Vin Mazzaro and first base-man Clint Robinson to the Pittsburgh Pirates forminor league pitchers Luis Santos and Luis Rico.Mazzaro was 4-3 with a 5.73 ERA for the Royals

while filling in as a spot starter because of injurieslast season. Robinson struck out twice in his firstfour major league at-bats. Both were designated forassignment on Nov. 20.The 21-year-old Santos pitched for both Domini-

can Pirates clubs last season, combining for a 6-3record and a 2.44 ERA in 14 games, including 12starts. In 62 2-3 innings, he allowed 42 hits, walked20 and struck out 74 while holding opponents to a.184 average.Rico, who turns 19 on Thursday, was 0-1 with a

7.04 ERA for the Dominican Pirates.

ALLEN PARK, Mich. (AP) — Ndamukong Suh’sreputation for being a nasty player was born as anNFL rookie.Suh slammed two quarterbacks to

the ground by grabbing their helmetstwo years ago, and his image becameeven more notorious last season whenhe infamously stomped on an oppo-nent.Just when the Detroit Lions defen-

sive tackle started to improve his abil-ity to play the game cleanly thisseason, he had a setback.But if you think he’s contrite, guess again.The NFL fined Suh $30,000 on Wednesday for

unnecessary roughness because he kicked HoustonTexans quarterback Matt Schaub in the groin area.The previous day, NFL Commissioner Roger Good-ell said the league didn't suspend him because itcouldn't reach a judgment on his intent.

COLUMBUS (AP) — The biggest play of Men-tor's season was in good hands.

Coach Steve Trivisonno knew bylooking into quarterback Mitch Tru-bisky’s eyes that a two-point conver-sion in the regional finals againstmighty Cleveland St. Ignatius — inthe third overtime, no less — wasgoing to be successful.“You looked at him and he walked

out there on the field and made theplay,”Trivisonno said. “It was just likehe expected to do it.”

Such self-assurance is a big reason why Trubiskywas announced Wednesday night as the 26th win-ner of the prestigious Associated Press Mr. Footballaward, given annually to the best high schoolplayer in Ohio.Trubisky, a 6-foot-3, 200-pound senior, and his

team fell a game short of this week’s big-schoolstate championship game.Also an outstanding student,Trubisky passed for

more than 4,000 yards and 42 touchdowns and ranfor 835 yards and 18 TDs as a senior. He completed264 of 393 passes (.672) with 12 interceptions, for astratospheric passer-rating of better than 180.00.He scored 108 points — ironically, the same total ashis two favorite 1,000-yard receivers, BrandonFritts and Conner Krizancic, behind running backNick Delisa’s 126 points.

BEREA, Ohio (AP) —Although his mind wasjumbled, Browns rookiequarterback BrandonWeeden knew exactlywhere he was — and itwasn’t where he wantedto be.Still in his uniform,

but without his helmetafter being forced outwith a concussion in thefinal minutes on Sunday,Weeden turned to theteam doctors in Cleve-land’s locker room andbegged them to let himgo back to the sideline tosee the final snaps of a20-14 win over the Pitts-burgh Steelers.They wouldn’t budge,

so he watched on TV.“It was frustrating. I

wanted to finish thatone,”Weeden said. “But itwas nice to celebrate withthe guys after the game.”Weeden was cleared to

practice Wednesday,three days after sustain-

ing the first concussion ofhis football career. The29-year-old was limitedduring the workout buthe will start this week

when the Browns (3-8)visit the Oakland Raidersand try to snap a 12-game road losing streak.Weeden didn’t appear

to have any restrictionsduring the portion ofpractice open to themedia. He threw passeswith the customary zipon the ball and movedaroundwithout any prob-lems. Afterward, Weedensaid he’s been symptomfree for several days.As tough as it was for

him to leave only Cleve-land’s second win in 18games over the rivalSteelers,Weeden knew itwas the right decision.He had banged his headon teammate JoeThomas’ leg after throw-ing an interception andwas slow getting up.Once he was on the

sideline,Weeden was ex-amined by the Brownsmedical staff and an-swered all their manda-

tory questions to test fora concussion. However,Weeden told them hedidn’t “feel right” andwas taken to the lockerroom for further tests.Backup quarterback

Colt McCoy came off thebench to close out Cleve-land’s win, playing thefinal two series as theBrowns tried to run outthe clock. It was anironic twist for McCoy,whose 2011 seasonended when he suffereda serious concussion on ahelmet-to-helmet hit bySteelers linebackerJames Harrison.Weeden knows hemay

have been able to talk hisway into staying in thegame, but he could haveendangered his health.“You’ve got to be

smart about it,” he said.“You’re talking about abrain. I don’t want to be50 years old and not re-member playing.
