In exchange, the officials said, President Barack Obama will support an un- specified amount of spending cuts this year, to be followed by legislation in 2013 produc- ing savings of as much as $400 billion from Medicare and other benefit programs over a decade. The offer produced a with- ering response from House Speaker John Boehner, R- Ohio, after a closed-door meet- ing in the Capitol with Treasury Secretary Tim Gei- thner. “Unfortunately, many Democrats continue to rule out sensible spending cuts that must be part of any sig- nificant agreement that will reduce our deficit,” he de- clared. Boehner added, “No sub- stantive progress has been made between the White House and the House” in the two weeks since Obama wel- comed congressional leaders at the White House. Democrats swiftly coun- tered that any holdup was the fault of Republicans who re- fuse to accept Obama’s cam- paign-long call to raise tax rates on upper incomes. At the White House, presi- dential press secretary Jay Carney said, “There can be no deal without rates on top earners going up.” Taking a confrontational, at times sar- castic tone, he said, “This should not be news to anyone on Capitol Hill. It is certainly not news to anyone in Amer- ica who was not in a coma during the campaign season.” With barely a month re- maining until a year-end deadline, the hardening of po- sitions seemed more likely to mark a transition into hard bargaining rather than signal an end to efforts to achieve a compromise on the first post- Winner verified BY MARIA SUDEKUM The Associated Press DEARBORN, Mo.

The tickets were sold at a convenience store in suburban Phoenix and a gas station in Dearborn, Mo., just off Inter- state 29, the highway linking Kansas City to the Canadian border.

NY court rejectsinspector liabilityALBANY, N.Y. (AP) —
New York’s top court onThursday rejected dam-ages claims against stateinspectors who continu-ally recertified a tour boatfor 48-passenger capacitybefore it overturned on anAdirondack lake in 2005,drowning 20 people on aleaf-peeping tour.
The Court of Appealsunanimously ruled thatthe state generally isn’t li-able for “the negligentperformance” of govern-ment functions unless ithas some “special duty” tothose hurt.
Federal investigatorsafterward said the 40-footEthan Allen should havebeen limited to 14 passen-gers. The boat tipped overin clear, sunny weather,sending 47 tourists andthe captain into LakeGeorge. The NationalTransportation Safety
Board concluded that “in-sufficient stability,” partlyfrom the passenger load,was the probable cause ofthe accident.
Nineteen of thosekilled were from Michi-gan. One was from Ohio.
“Although the law isclear, the upshot is that,regardless of any negli-gence on the part of thestate, the victims of thisdisastrous wreck are es-sentially left without ad-equate remedy,” ChiefJudge Jonathan Lipp-man wrote for the unani-mous court. “TheLegislature currently hasa proposal before it to re-quire public vessels tocarry marine protectionand indemnity insur-ance.We note that such arequirement — had it ex-isted — might have beenable to provide a mod-icum of relief here.”
Another Yoda statue, Star Wars fans may getSAN ANSELMO,
Calif. (AP) — Star Warsfans might soon haveanother Yoda statue inthe San Francisco Bayarea to visit.
Filmmaker GeorgeLucas plans to helpbuild a small park inMarin County thatwould feature a bronzesculpture of the popularStar Wars character,
along with one of Indi-ana Jones.
Lucas’ estate man-ager, Sarita Patel, saidthe Yoda statue wouldbe similar to one in SanFrancisco’s Presidioneighborhood. That one— a full-sized replica ofthe Jedi sage — liesatop a fountain outsidean arts center whereLucas moved most of his
operations in 2005. Ithas become a big drawfor fans.
Lucas applied for apermit Wednesday todemolish a building onthe site of the plannedpark in San Anselmo,the town where he lives,the Marin IndependentJournal reported.
He announced overthe summer that he
planned to donate theland where the buildingsits to the San AnselmoChamber of Commerce,and donate the statuesfor the proposed park.Lucas has since alsoagreed to pay for thebuilding’s demolition.
The chamber hopes toraise $150,000 to$200,000 to create thepark.
There’s iceon Mercury
CAPE CANAVERAL,Fla. (AP) — Just in timefor Christmas, scientistshave confirmed a vastamount of ice at thenorth pole — on Mer-cury, the closest planetto the sun.
The findings are fromNASA’s Mercury-orbit-ing probe, Messenger,and the subject of threescientific papers re-leased Thursday by thejournal Science.
The frozen water is lo-cated in regions of Mer-cury’s north pole thatalways are in shadows,essentially impactcraters. It’s believed thesouth pole harbors ice aswell, though there are nohard data to support it.Messenger orbits muchcloser to the north polethan the south.

Judge to plotter: Am I biased?AKRON (AP) — A judge
ready to sentence a fourthman in a failed plot to bomba highway bridge asked himon Thursday if he should stepaside from the bench becauseof bias.U.S. District Court Judge
David Dowd asked the attor-ney for defendant AnthonyHayne to discuss the issuewith Hayne before Friday’ssentencing in Akron.The issue involves com-
ments the judge made toCleveland’s The Plain Dealernewspaper that were favor-able to three co-defendantssentenced last week. The
judge said if Hayne, who’sfrom Cleveland, concludesthe comments showed bias,he would remove himselffrom the case.Hayne, 35, hopes his plea
deal gives him half of theeight- to 11-year sentenceshis co-defendants got, nothalf the longer terms soughtby the government. Thejudge called the longer rec-ommendations grotesque.On Thursday, Connor
Stevens, of Berea, becamethe last of the other threemen to appeal his sentenceas too harsh. Stevens, 21,was sentenced to eight years
and one month as the leastinvolved, but the governmentasked for 19 years.The judge had praised
Stevens’ comments court be-fore his sentencing and pre-dicted all three wouldemerge from prison as betterpeople.A spokesman for U.S. At-
torney Steve Dettelbach saidthere would be no commenton the judge’s bias query toHayne. Hayne’s attorney,Michael O’Shea, declined tocomment.Hayne’s plea change re-
quest, filed the day the otherthree men were sentenced,
was conditional on whetherhe gets a more lenient sen-tence than his co-defendants.His attorney said his pleadeal in return for cooperationcould still mean a longer sen-tence than the terms handeddown to his co-defendants.The co-defendants pleaded
guilty after Hayne but with-out plea deals promising co-operation.The men are described by
the government as self-pro-claimed anarchists who actedout of anger against corpo-rate America and the govern-ment. The defense has calledthe investigation a case of
entrapment, with an FBI in-formant guiding the way.The men, who had been
active in the Occupy Cleve-land movement against fi-nancial inequality and whatthey called corporate greed,targeted a bridge over Cuya-hoga Valley National Parkbetween Cleveland andAkron, authorities said. TheFBI has said that the publicwas never in danger and thatthe device was a dud pro-vided by the informant.A fifth co-defendant is un-
dergoing a psychiatric examat a federal prison outsideBoston.

Senator says Romneyloss sunk ‘heartbeat’ billCOLUMBUS (AP) —
The Ohio Senate’sleader said Thursdaythat Republican presi-dential nominee MittRomney’s defeat was akey factor in his decisionto block a vote on strin-gent abortion restric-tions.GOP Senate Presi-
dent Tom Niehaus toldreporters a Romney vic-tory was a condition hehad set with proponentsfor advancing the so-called “heartbeat bill.”The legislation proposedbanning most abortionsat the first detectablefetal heartbeat, as earlyas six weeks into preg-nancy.Niehaus announced
earlier this week that hewould not schedule avote on the bill. Backersplanned a legislativemaneuver to force avote, but Niehaus as-sisted a proceduralmove Thursday that put
a stop to that effort.Niehaus said a Rom-
ney win over DemocraticPresident BarackObama would have in-creased the likelihood ofa lineup of new U.S.Supreme Court ap-pointees that would befavorable to a legal chal-lenge to the heartbeatmeasure.Backers had hoped
the legislation’s passagewould spark a legalchallenge that couldlead to overturning thehigh court’s landmark1973 Roe vs. Wade deci-sion, which legalizedabortion up until viabil-ity, which is closer to 22weeks after conception.Ohio anti-abortion ac-
tivists were fiercely di-vided over the bill, withsome fearing a courtchallenge could undoother abortion restric-tions already in place.“The risk became, do
you send a bill to the
U.S. Supreme Court thathas the potential to un-dermine all of the goodwork that the right-to-life community has doneover the previousdecades?” Niehaus said.“Could it have undoneRoe v. Wade? I don’tknow the answer to thatquestion. That appearedto me to be an extremerisk to take, and I wasnot willing to take thatrisk.”The powerful Senate
Rules committee metThursday — minus twoRepublican pro-heart-beat members thatNiehaus stripped oftheir committee ap-pointments Wednesdaynight — and shut downan effort by the bill’sbackers to force a voteon the legislation. Thepanel voted unani-mously to re-refer thebill to the Rules commit-tee, a move that pre-vented it from being
challenged for 30 days.That’s more time thanremains in the legisla-tive session.Niehaus, a New Rich-
mond Republican de-parting at year’s enddue to term limits, saidhe made the move toprotect his membersfrom unfair attacks.“It’s clear that this
bill saw some of themost intense lobbyingefforts in recent memory— and that’s fine: I’m allfor people advocating fortheir position, and beingpassionate about theirposition,” he said. “Butthreatening, in my opin-ion, goes over the line.And we saw tactics thatI did not appreciate, andmy members did not ap-preciate. And for a smallfaction of the pro-lifecommunity to target themost pro-life group ofsenators in recent mem-ory was to me outra-geous.”
Schools mayget lettergrades
COLUMBUS (AP) —Ohio schools would getold-fashioned A throughF grades under a newperformance rankingsystem that has clearedthe Ohio House.R e p r e s e n t a t i v e s
voted 58-27 to pass thevoluminous ratingsoverhaul on Thursday,sending it to the Senate.Senate President
Tom Niehaus (NEE’-hows) has also made theproposal a priority inthat chamber before thetwo-year session endsnext month.The bill would be-
stow A, B, C, D and Fgrades on school dis-tricts, school buildings,community schools,STEM schools and col-lege-preparatory board-ing schools based on 13performance measures.The grades would be
phased in over threeschool years to replacethe current five-tier sys-tem of excellent, effec-tive, continuousimprovement, academicwatch, and academicemergency.Community schools
serving mostly academ-ically challenged stu-dents would see adifferent scale devel-oped.
Inmate says he’s innocentCOLUMBUS (AP) — A condemned killer trying
to delay his execution because he is obese is nowraising an innocence claim, a prosecutor said in afiling with the Ohio Parole Board.Death row inmate Ronald Post, who weighs more
than 400 pounds, is asking the courts to stop hisJanuary execution on the grounds his weight couldcause him to suffer severe pain during the proce-dure.Post has also attempted to delay his execution to
try to prove that claims he made a full confession toseveral people have been falsely exaggerated.Post told the parole board on Nov. 20 that an-
other man shot hotel desk clerk Helen Vantz inElyria in 1983, Lorain County Prosecutor DennisWill said in a board filing Wednesday obtained byThe Associated Press through a records request.Post said he was “complicit in the robbery” but
didn’t enter the hotel personally,Will said in the fil-ing.
Mom appears in courtCLEVELAND (AP) —A judge set bond Thursday
at $2 million for a mother accused of killing her 3-year-old son by fracturing his skull and putting hisbody in the trash.Camilia Terry, 20, initially told police that her son
Emilliano went missing during a Sunday outing to apark. She came under suspicion one day later whenshe changed her version of how the boy disappeared.The boy’s body was found in trash bags at a waste
processing center Monday, and Terry has beencharged with aggravated murder.Terry,whowas represented by two attorneys as she
appeared before Cleveland Municipal Court JudgePinkey Carr onThursday,must return to court for an-other hearing next week. The initial proceedings inMunicipal Court set the stage to move the case tofelony Common Pleas Court.ADNA sample taken fromTerry confirmed the vic-
tim was her son, Cuyahoga County Medical Exam-iner Dr. Thomas Gilson said Thursday. The geneticsample was used for identification instead of asking arelative to confirm the identity of the decomposingbody, which matched the boy’s description.
Kasich to discuss fundingCOLUMBUS (AP) — Ohio’s governor says college
and university presidents in the state have madeheadway on a plan to achieve better academic out-comes for students, though he’s keeping tight-lippedon the details.Gov. John Kasich (KAY’-sihk) is scheduled to meet
Friday with college leaders to unveil new higher edu-cation funding recommendations.The governor offered few specifics when asked by
reportersThursday about the announcement.Kasichonly said he and school presidents believe thereshould be incentives to get students to graduate.Only about a quarter of Ohioans hold college de-
grees, about five points below the national average.The lag has left many non-degreed Ohioans unem-ployed, even as high-paying jobs open up in fields liketechnology, health care and energy.

Toilet paperreturnedPORTALES, N.M. (AP)
— University officials saya New Mexico collegegraduate, apparently feel-ing guilty over a studentprank years ago, has senta box of toilet paper torepay the school for loottaken from a dormitory.Eastern New Mexico
University says it receivedthe yuletide gift box thisweek along with a Christ-mas card and written apol-ogy.The box contained five
packages of 16 rolls of two-ply, septic-safe tissue for atotal of 80 rolls.The anonymous writer

NEWYORK (AP)—The fu-ture of Twinkies is virtuallyassured.Hostess Brands Inc. got
final approval for its wind-down plans in bankruptcycourt Thursday, setting thestage for its iconic snack cakesto find a second life with newowners — even as 18,000 jobswill be wiped out.The company said in court
that it’s in talks with 110 po-tential buyers for its brands,which include CupCakes,DingDongs andHoHos.The suitorsinclude at least five nationalretailers such as supermar-kets, a financial adviser forHostess said. The process hasbeen “so fast and furious”Hostess wasn’t able to makeits planned calls to potentialbuyers, said Joshua Scherer ofPerella Weinberg Partners.“Not only are these buyers
serious, but they are expecting
to spend substantial sums,” hesaid, noting that six of themhad hired investment banks tohelp in the process.The update on the sale
process came as Hostess alsoreceived approval to give itstop executives bonuses total-ing up to $1.8 million for meet-ing certain budget goalsduring the liquidation. Thecompany says the incentivepay is needed to retain the 19corporate officers and “high-level managers” for the winddown process, which couldtake about a year.Two of those executives
would be eligible for additionalrewards depending on how ef-ficiently they carry out the liq-uidation. The compensationwould be on top of their regu-lar pay.The bonuses do not include
pay for CEOGregory Rayburn,who was brought on as a re-
structuring expert earlier thisyear. Rayburn is being paid$125,000 a month.Hostess was given interim
approval for its wind-downlast week,which gave the com-pany the legal protection toimmediately fire 15,000 unionworkers.The company said theterminations were necessaryto free up workers to apply forunemployment benefits.About3,200 employees are being re-tained to help in winding downoperations, including 237 em-ployees at the corporate level.The bakers union, Hostess’
second-largest union, hasasked the judge to appoint anindependent trustee to overseethe liquidation, saying that thecurrent management “hasbeen woefully unsuccessful inits reorganization attempts.”Hostess had already said

IN THIS citizen journalism image provided by the Homs City Union of The Syrian Revolution,which has been authenticated based on its contents and other AP reporting, Syrian citizenswalk in a destroyed street that was attacked on Wednesday by Syrian forces warplanes, atAbu al-Hol street in Homs province, Syria, Thursday. Two US-based Internet-monitoring com-panies say Syria has shut off the Internet nationwide. Activists in Syria reached Thursday bysatellite telephone confirmed the unprecedented blackout, which comes amid intense fight-ing in the capital, Damascus.
Internet service goesout across Syria
BEIRUT (AP) — Internetservice went down Thursdayacross Syria and internationalflights were canceled at theDamascus airport when a roadnear the facility was closed byheavy fighting in the country’scivil war.Activists said President
Bashar Assad’s regime pulledthe plug on the Internet, per-haps in preparation for amajor offensive. Cellphoneservice also went out in Dam-ascus and parts of centralSyria, they said. The govern-ment blamed rebel fighters forthe outages.With pressure building
against the regime on severalfronts and government forceson their heels in the battle forthe northern commercial hubof Aleppo, rebels have re-cently begun pushing backinto Damascus after largelybeing driven out of the capi-tal following a July offensive.One Damascus resident re-ported seeing rebel forcesnear a suburb of the city pre-viously deemed to be safe
from fighting.The Internet outage, con-
firmed by two U.S.-based com-panies that monitor onlineconnectivity, is unprecedentedin Syria’s 20-month-old upris-ing against Assad, which ac-tivists say has killed morethan 40,000 people.Regime forces suffered a
string of tactical defeats in re-cent weeks, losing air basesand other strategic facilities.The government may be tryingto blunt additional rebel offen-sives by hampering communi-cations.U.S. State Department
spokeswomanVictoria Nulandcondemned what she calledthe regime’s “assault” on Syri-ans’ ability to communicatewith each other and expressthemselves. She said the movespoke to a desperate attemptby Assad to cling to power.Syrian authorities often cut
phone and Internet service inselect areas to disrupt rebelcommunications when regimeforces are conducting majoroperations.
The government sent mixedsignals about the Internet out-age but denied it was nation-wide. The pro-regime TVstation Al-Ikhbariya quotedInformation Minister Omranal-Zoubi as saying that “terror-ists” have targeted Internet ca-bles, interrupting service inseveral cities.Separately, state-run TV
said the outage was due to atechnical failure that affectedsome provinces, adding thattechnicians were trying to fixit.Activists in Syria, reached
by satellite telephones unaf-fected by the outage, confirmedthe communications problems.A young Syrian business-
man who lives in an upscaleneighborhood of Damascus,which some refer to as part of“the green zone” because it hasremained relatively safe, senta text message to an Associ-ated Press reporter Thursdaythat said the Internet hadbeen cut in his area and thatmobile phone service was cut-ting out.
UN vote recognizes state of PalestineUNITED NATIONS (AP)
— The United Nations votedoverwhelmingly Thursday torecognize a Palestinianstate, a long-sought victoryfor the Palestinians but anembarrassing diplomatic de-feat for the United States.The resolution upgrading
the Palestinians’ status to anonmember observer stateat the United Nations wasapproved by a more thantwo-thirds majority of the193-member world body — avote of 138-9, with 41 ab-stentions.A Palestinian flag was
quickly unfurled on the floorof the General Assembly, be-hind the Palestinian delega-tion. Jubilant Palestinianswho crowded around outdoorscreens and television sets towatch the vote hugged,honked and set off fireworksin celebration.Real independence, how-
ever, remains an elusivedream until the Palestiniansnegotiate a peace deal withthe Israelis, who warnedthat the General Assemblyaction will only delay a last-ing solution. Israel still con-trols the West Bank, east
Jerusalem and access toGaza, and it accused thePalestinians of bypassing ne-gotiations with the campaignto upgrade their U.N. status.The United States imme-
diately criticized the historicvote. “Today’s unfortunateand counterproductive reso-lution places further obsta-cles in the path peace,” U.N.Ambassador Susan Ricesaid.And U.S. Secretary of
State Hillary Rodham Clin-ton called the vote “unfortu-nate” and“counterproductive.”
Judgeissuespress
verdictLONDON (AP) — Britain’s
unruly newspapers should beregulated by an independentbody dominated by non-jour-nalists with the power to levysteep fines, a judge said Thurs-day in a report that pleased vic-tims of tabloid intrusion butleft editors worrying aboutcreeping state control of thecountry’s fiercely independentpress.Prime Minister David
Cameron echoed concernsabout government interference,expressing misgivings about akey recommendation of the re-port — that the new regulatorbe enshrined in law. He calledon the much criticized press toshow it could control itself byimplementing the judge’s pro-posals quickly — and withoutpolitical involvement.“I’m proud of the fact that
we’ve managed to survive hun-dreds of years without stateregulation,” he said.Lord Justice Brian Leveson
issued his 2,000-page report atthe end of a media ethics in-quiry triggered by a scandalover tabloid phone hacking thatexpanded to engulf senior fig-ures in politics, the police andRupert Murdoch’s media em-pire.His key recommendation
was to create a new printmedia regulator, which he saidshould be established in law topreventmore people being hurtby “outrageous” press behaviorthat had “wreaked havoc withthe lives of innocent peoplewhose rights and liberties havebeen disdained.”Cameron, under intense
pressure from both sides of anissue that has divided his ownConservative Party, welcomedLeveson’s proposal for a newregulator and said “the statusquo is not an option.”But he said that asking leg-
islators to enshrine it in lawmeant “crossing the Rubicon ofwriting elements of press regu-lation into the law of the land.”“I believe that we should be
wary of any legislation that hasthe potential to infringe freespeech and a free press,”Cameron told lawmakers in theHouse of Commons. “In thisHouse which has been a bul-wark of democracy for cen-turies, we should think very,very carefully before crossingthis line.”Leveson insisted that politi-
cians and the governmentshould play no role in regulat-ing the press, which should bedone by a new body with muchstronger powers than the cur-rent Press Complaints Com-mission.But the judge said it was “es-
sential that there should be leg-islation to underpin theindependent self-regulatorysystem.”

Clydesdales at AirForce Museum
FAIRBORN — Theworld-famous BudweiserClydesdales, the symbolof quality and traditionfor Anheuser-Buschsince 1933, are at theNational Museum of theUnited States Air Forcethrough Sunday.The Clydesdales will
be available for the pub-lic to visit at the mu-seum on the followingdates and times:Today, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Saturday, 3:30 p.m. to 5p.m. Sunday, 9 a.m. to 5p.m.The eight-horse hitch
will be harnessed andhitched to the famousred beer wagon Sunday,from noon-2 p.m. The“gentle giants,” as theyare often referred to, arevisiting several militarybases throughout theUnited States to thankthe troops for all they do
to serve and protect thecountry.The Clydesdales’ ap-
pearance in Dayton isone of hundreds madeannually by the travel-ing hitches. Canadiansof Scottish descentbrought the first Clydes-dales to America in themid-1800s. Today, thegiant draft horses areused primarily for breed-ing and show.Horses chosen for the
Budweiser Clydesdalehitch must be at leastthree years of age, standapproximately 18 hands— or six feet — at theshoulder, weigh an aver-age of 2,000 pounds,must be bay in color,have four white legs, anda blaze of white on theface and black mane andtail.

hitch horse will consumeas much as 20-25 quartsof feed, 40-50 pounds ofhay and 30 gallons ofwater per day.Each hitch travels
with a Dalmatian dog. Inthe early days of brew-ing, Dalmatians werebred and trained to pro-tect the horses andguard the wagon whenthe driver went inside tomake deliveries.The Budweiser
Clydesdales can beviewed at the Anheuser-Busch breweries in St.Louis, Mo.; Merrimack,N.H.; and Fort Collins,Colo. They also may beviewed at Grant’s Farmin St. Louis and atWarmSprings Ranch, the 300-acre Clydesdale breed-ing farm located nearBoonville, Mo.

MAPLEWOOD — Itwould be easy to catego-rize the hamlet of Maple-wood as a villageinhabited by a lot of goodand friendly people, witha strong sense of com-munity.Maplewood is all of
that, but its current con-figuration does not tell ofits historical embrace ofculture and its colorfulpast.Lifetime Maplewood
resident Bernard Cline-hens has been studyingthe history of Maple-wood, and collecting arti-facts from its past formany years. Now Cline-hens plans to share hisknowledge of the com-munity at a dinner meet-ing of the MaplewoodGrange to be held onDec. 11. at 6:30 p.m. atthe Maplewood GrangeHall. The event is opento the general public.In addition to collect-
ing information on hisown, Clinehens said thatMary Scott Ball, a for-mer neighbor who hadbeen another lifetimeresident of the commu-nity, had a collection ofnewspaper articles andother such items regard-ing Maplewood.Clinehens noted that
his mother, who grew upin nearby Montra, hadscrapbooks of newspaperitems containing infor-mation about people andevents in the area. Thatcollection has alsoproven quite valuable tohis study of the past inthe community.Clinehens has even
been teased about hav-ing gathered up all pos-sible Maplewoodmemorabilia. Someitems are even stored atthe local Methodist
Church he at-tends.Clinehens has
a c c umu l a t e dmany photo-graphs showingthe community’spast. Some showthe transition ofMaplewood froman agrarian com-munity wherefarming was done by lit-eral horsepower, to thedays when it was the lo-cation of four farm im-plement dealers.One photo shows the
old livery stable thatlater became a gatheringplace for motorcyclesand versions of the firstautomobiles. That liverystable later became thegarage to house one ofthe school buses. The liv-ery stable was at the siteof the current post office.Another photo shows
a steam locomotive ar-riving at a business inMaplewood as by-standers wait, at leastone of whom obviouslyarrived on horseback.Clinehens can recall
many businesses thathave come and gone inMaplewood. For exam-ple, the community oncehad three grocers inbusiness at the sametime. Maplewood wasalso the location of thefirst Ford auto dealer-ship in Shelby County.There were a tile factoryand sawmill. The millwas destroyed in a fire in1887.There was also a jew-
elry store based inMaplewood. The OliveAiles Company sold fineclothing for women.Some of the historical
tidbits collected byClinehens are gems oflocal history. A playbillfrom a Maplewood pro-duction of the play,
“Deadeye Dick,”not only lists thecast members,but also has a ros-ter of sponsorsthat would makeany local historybuff salivate.Clinehens says
that the old play-bill for the three-act play contains
advertisements for busi-nesses that he had beenpreviously unaware of.For example, he is stillattempting to pinpointthe location of where anadvertised grocery waslocated in the east end ofthe community.Clinehens is also
knowledgeable aboutsome significant eventsin the history of Maple-wood. For example, a firein 1905 nearly wiped outa block of the village.Several businesses weredestroyed in that fire. In-cluded in the destructionwas the old Knights ofPythias Hall that was lo-cated above the grocery.A man by the name ofS.C. Retter was instru-mental in rebuilding onmany of the destroyedsites. A concrete blockbuilding was erected,along with a grocery andbarbershop. Retterowned a hardware busi-ness in Maplewood. Oneof the products he of-fered was a storm buggy,a type of horse buggythat provided more shel-ter from the weather.The Knights of
Pythias went on to builda new hall around 1907,which later became thegrange hall, although anewer grange hall wasconstructed later.That was a cement
block building, andClinehens noted that theconcrete blocks were ac-tually poured on the site.Upon its completion, itwas renowned as one ofthe finest Knights ofPythias halls in WesternOhio.The Knights of
Pythias and the grangeconstructed the buildingin a way that is easilyshared.That building played
a major role in local cul-ture. It was a site ofplays and various lec-tures.Some productions
were of local origin,while others were facili-tated by companies thatwent into communitiesand organized such en-tertainment. One such
local enterprise was theWise Stock Companythat was involved withthe 1912 production of“Deadeye Dick.”Considering that the
event took place in 1912,one gains a sense of thelongevity of some localbusinesses. Many of thesponsors were from Sid-ney, and will still res-onate with many localresidents. Examples arethe White Front, a barand grill operated formany years in Sidney,and the Wagner Hotel,no longer present but awell-established land-mark in the history ofthe town. Even the SpotRestaurant was an ad-vertiser for that 1912venue.One Sidney business
with an advertisementin the playbill sold partsfor Rio and Maxwell au-tomobiles, as well as thelegendary Indian motor-cycles.Culture and enter-
tainment found a homein early Maplewood.There was even an or-chestra composed ofMaplewood residents,known as Cooke’s or-chestra. Cooke was alocal businessman, andhe and his wife were alsoactors in the local plays.One could purchase a
season ticket to theMaplewood Lecture Se-ries for the price of $1.The programs included amusical group, an imper-sonator, a lecture titled“The Man from Mars”and a one-man stageperformance.
A pair of brothers bythe last name of Steen-rod also presented mo-tion pictures in thecommunity hall for ad-mission price of 10 cents.The advertisement em-phasized that it wasclean entertainment.Maplewood also had thefirst Boy Scout troop inShelby County.Churches also played
a major role in Maple-wood’s history. Therewas a German heritageReform Church in thevillage in the past thatwas known as the BethelReform Church. Thatwas later torn down.When some local resi-dents later began talk-ing about thestained-glass windowsthat were in the oldhouse of worship, Cline-hens was able to trackdown one of them, andarrange for it to be usedin the construction of thecurrent MaplewoodMethodist Church.The railroad came
through in 1893, greatlyspurring growth in thecommunity. Henry Fordcame to the village atone time when he was inthe process of attempt-ing to buy the railroad.Clinehens noted that thedeal could not be final-ized, because the federalgovernment felt that ac-quiring the railroadwould give Ford toomuch of a monopoly overthe transportation in-dustry.The boom in the com-
munity lasted through1912. Clinehens noted
that it was expected thatMaplewood was going togrow larger than Jack-son Center.The original name of
the community was Tile-ton, derived from thelocal production of tile.One version of the storythat Clinehens hasheard is that a travelerwas impressed by theabundance of beautifulmaple trees in the com-munity and suggested aname change. Clinehenshas also heard that therewas another Tileton onthe same train line, andthat the name needed tobe changed to stop theinevitable confusion thatresulted.A devastating fire
took place in 1943 inwhich the entire eastend of the communitywas destroyed. Cline-hens said that many ofthe lots were not reusedfor new construction, asthey were too small tohave allowable sewagesystems installed inkeeping with health reg-ulations.Clinehens estimated
that as many as 20 prop-erties were not reused,and resulted in a declinein village population. Headded that the situationmade growth problem-atic.Clinehens obviously
enjoys his Maplewoodresearch, and looks for-ward to his presentationat the grange hall.He and his wife, Phyl-
lis, have two sons, Brentand Brad, and onedaughter, Jennifer.

TEENS: Oneof the saddestof contempo-rary trends inour schools isthe prolifera-tion of violence— against notonly students,but also teach-ers — in theclassrooms andcorridors. Thisis the inevitablespillover of anincreasingly violent so-ciety. Indeed, the once-shocking spectacle ofstudents attackingteachers is becoming acommon occurrence.For instance, a 17-
year-old student se-verely beat a teacherwho was trying to breakup a fight at a highschool in a Californiaupscale community. Theteacher suffered a dislo-cated finger, chippedelbow and bruises onthe face and body. Thewords that echoedthroughout the shockedcommunity afterwardwere, “This shouldn’thappen here.” But it’shappening everywhere.Violence and threats ofviolence to teachers areon the rise across thecountry.How should we disci-
pline a student whophysically attacks ateacher? Should thestudent be suspended,expelled, prosecuted?This school district tookthe matter very seri-ously and filed felonycharges against the at-tacker. If convicted, hefaces up to three yearsand eight months in a
state youth fa-cility.The school
district couldtake the actionit did because inCalifornia, as insome otherstates, it’s afelony to physi-cally attack ateacher. All 50states shouldhave such a law.A growing num-
ber are, indeed, consider-ing one.
DR. WALLACE: Idon’t enjoy going toschool. My grades arepoor, and I miss a lot ofschool because of “ill-ness.” I’m 16, and mycounselor has recom-mended that I attend acontinuation school setup by our school districtfor students with specialneeds.My girlfriend attends a
continuation high schooland really likes it. Shesaid she gets bettergrades because herclasses are smaller andthe teachers can spendmore timewith individualstudents. My parentsdon’t like the idea be-cause they think adiploma from a continua-tion high school doesn’tcarry the same prestigeas one from a regularhigh school. My friendsays the diplomas areequal. Are they? —Clau-dine, GardenGrove,Calif.
CLAUDINE: Adiploma earned at an al-ternative or continua-tion high school isaccepted as equal to oneearned at a “regular”
high school. Suchschools are fully accred-ited by the state andprovide just the sort ofenvironment that manystudents need. Theyoffer students with spe-cial needs a chance toget a good educationand earn a diploma. Ifyou are not learning atyour current school —and dislike it enough tomake yourself “sick” soyou can stay home — byall means consider join-ing your friend at a con-tinuation high school.
DR. WALLACE:Whydo pet dogs need to be li-censed while cats do not?I think this is discrimi-nation of the highestform, and dog loversthroughout the countryshould protest (peace-fully). —Allison, Pitts-burg, Pa.
ALLISON: I’m toldby my local animal shel-ter that dogs are consid-ered to be domesticatedand cats are not. I guessthis is why you can takeyour dog for a walk on aleash, but you can’twalk your cat.

Violence againstteachers rising

COLUMBUS — It’s been said thatwhat you don’t know can’t hurt you, butthat’s certainly not the case when itcomes to the flu. Every year millions ofpeople are either uninformed about theflu or buy into long-heldmyths about it,and end up suffering needlessly.“This is a pretty busy time around
here,” said Dr. Dennis Cunningham, aphysician in Infectious Diseases at Na-tionwide Children’s Hospital. “Ouremergency departments, urgent carecenters and inpatient numbers alwaysgo up because of the flu, althoughmanyof those patients could avoid gettingsick if they’d practice a little preven-tion.”Cunningham says part of the prob-
lem is that many people buy into long-held myths about the flu vaccine, andwill avoid getting immunized because ofthem. Here are four of the most com-mon flu myths:• Myth No. 1 — The flu is only
spread by sneezing. “Germs arepretty easy to pass around and flu is re-ally contagious,” said Cunningham.“It’svery easy for one child to give it to an-other child and the next thing you know,they bring it home.”Because of that, experts say it is im-
portant to clean your hands often dur-ing flu season, and urge children to dothe same. “The easiest way to do that isto use hand gels, but make sure theyhave at least 65 to 95 percent alcohol init,” said Cunningham. Or, if soap andwater are nearby, wash your handsoften. “Honestly, the temperature of thewater doesn’t matter so much as thatrinsing motion and get the soap andvirus completely off your hands.We tellour kids to sing their ABCs and washtheir hands the entire time.That shouldbe enough to get any virus off the sur-face of their hands.”• Myth No. 2 — You should wait
until it’s cold outside to get your fluvaccine. “Some people areworried thatif you get the shot too soon, it will wearoff by the time winter gets here,” saidCunningham.“The truth is, vaccinatingpeople even inAugust will protect themthroughout the entire flu season. Thisalso includes the elderly who typicallyhave been the group people were mostworried about.”•MythNo. 3—Flu vaccines don’t
protect you from current strains.From the H1N1 scare in 2009 to swine
flu to the bird flu, each year, it seems,there is a new strainmaking headlines.But researchers track the most recent,most dangerous strains, and work tostay one step ahead of it.“TheWorldHealthOrganization and
Centers for Disease Control and Pre-vention pick the strains they think aremost likely to circulate in the comingmonths,” Cunningham said. “Everyyear there are two A strains that arepicked for the vaccine, and one B strainof influenza. So, we’re going to be pro-tect against everything that’s likely tocirculate.”• Myth No. 4 — You can actually
catch the flu from the flu vaccine.“This is probably the most commonmyth out there, but it simply is nottrue,” Cunningham said. “The vaccinecan give you some mild symptoms, youmay feel a bit achy and your arm maybe a little tenderwhere you get the shot.But that’s actually a good thing. It tellsyou your body is responding appropri-ately to the vaccine.”“No one should confuse a few slight
symptoms with the actual flu,” he said.“The vaccine can leave you feeling a bitwarm or achy for a day or two, but withtrue influenza, someone is sick and inbed for a week with high fever. It’s justnot the same.”It is especially important for children
to get the flu vaccine, even inmist form,which works just as well. Because theyare around so many people — frompeers to teachers, from siblings to adultsto grandparents — children are thebiggest carriers of the flu, and givingthem the vaccine can protect a widerange of people.“In fact, starting in 1980, Japan re-
quired the influenza vaccine for allschool-age children,”Cunningham said.“Theywound up vaccinating 80 percentof all students through their programand found that the number of flu deathswere four times lower than previousyears, especially among the elderly. So,it is very important to get children vac-cinated.”No one can predict how widespread
the flu will be from year to year, but it isworth noting that the companies whomanufacture the vaccines are appar-ently bracing for a busy flu season thisyear. The CDC says nearly 150 milliondoses will be produced this year, 17mil-lion more than last year.

Heart failure quite treatable
Too much togetherness may cause breakup
DEAR DRS.D O N O H U EAND ROACH: Iam 71 years oldand have been di-agnosed withchronic heartfailure. In Octo-ber of last year, Ihad triple bypasssurgery, but now I’m ingood health. Somethings I have read aboutchronic heart failure areunnerving. Will you giveme your take on whatlies ahead for me? — S.T.
ANSWER: Heart fail-ure, chronic heart failureand congestive heartfailure are the same con-dition. It’s one of themost common reasonswhy older people arehospitalized. The basicproblem is that the hearthas become so weak thatit circulates blood poorly.Such poor circulation
permits fluid toooze out of bloodvessels and “con-gest” tissues inthe feet, anklesand lower legs.The lungs fillwith fluid, whichbrings on heartfailure’s cardinal
feature — gasping forbreath on even slight ex-ertion.
Other signs of heartfailure are breathless-ness when lying in bed,heart enlargement, seenon X-rays, and the doc-tor’s discovery of lungsounds that indicate thelungs have fluid in them.
Numerous conditionslead to heart failure. Atthe top of the list is coro-nary artery disease,blockage of heart arter-ies that often brings on aheart attack. This mustbe why your heart failed.
You did have surgery tocorrect blocked heart ar-teries, but they did theirdamage well before sur-gery took place. Heartvalve problems, highblood pressure and atrialfibrillation are othercauses of heart failure.
Medicines usually canget the heart beatingwith greater vigor andcan lessen or abolishmost symptoms. Any-thing that affects heartfunction must betreated. High blood pres-sure, for example, has tobe lowered.
You might think thatinactivity is best for yourheart; it isn’t. Your doc-tor will outline a pro-gram that keeps youactive to the level thatyour heart can tolerate.Walking is one example,but more strenuous ex-ercise is encouraged
when your heart be-comes stronger. Youshould be on a low-saltdiet.
You ought not to bediscouraged about youroutlook. The life span ofpeople with congestiveheart failure has in-creased by 15 percent inmen and by 5 percent inwomen in just the pastdecade.The increment inwomen’s life span issmaller because womenlive longer, on average,than men.

DEAR ABBY:I’m engaged tosomeone I lovevery much. I am36 and he is 44.We get alonggreat, but he’s ina rush to getmar-ried. It will be myfirst and his sec-ond. We got en-gaged threemonths ago, andhe wants thewedding to be in Febru-ary. The date he picked ishis father’s birthday.
My other problem is,he is always pawing atme. He always needs tobe touching me or callingme his “beautiful angel.”It’s good to hear that oncein a while, but not fivetimes a day.
I love being with him,but sometimes I need myown space. If I say no, hegets defensive and wor-ried that I’m going to
leave him.We spend prac-
tically every wak-ing (andnon-waking) mo-ment together.
I am almost ata breaking point.Help! — OVER-WHELMED INPENNSYLVA-NIA
DEAR OVER-WHELMED: I
hope you realize that thebehavior you are describ-ing is not an indication oflove, but of extreme inse-curity.
His need to con-stantly touch you, hisdefensiveness if you sayyou need some space,and his fear that youwill leave him WON’TCHANGE if you marryhim. I am also concernedabout the way your wed-ding date was chosen,because the decision
wasn’t arrived at mutu-ally.
Ask yourself this: If hemakes what should bejoint decisions, and youhave no space for yourselfbecause of his insecurity,is this the way you wantto spend a LIFETIME?These could be symptomsof an abuser.
DEAR ABBY: I’m 25,have an associate’s de-gree in health manage-ment, completed a CRMA(Certified ResidentialMedication Aide) course,and I’m now on my wayto obtaining my bachelorof science in health man-agement. It sounds likeI’m heading toward agreat future, right?
My problem is I havezero confidence in mysself. I’m scared to death ofmaking mistakes as aCRMA, and equallyscared of being successful.
Everybody says how“proud” they are of meand that I’m headed to-ward great things, but I’mnot sure I can do this. I amstruggling to find self-con-fidence because if I don’tbelieve in myself, I won’tachieve anything. Whatcan I do to put myself outthere and take the steps Ineed to accomplish mygoals? — NEEDS ABOOST IN MAINE
DEAR NEEDS ABOOST: Self-doubt canbe an asset if it causesyou to strive harder tomaster the skills you willneed in your profession.However, because you areafraid of both failureAND success, the surestway to conquer your fearswould be to talk aboutthem with a counselor atyour school or to a psy-chologist.

WES PRINZEN, of Fountain Hills, Ariz., smiles as he takes away his modest$4 winnings, at a 4 Sons Food Store where one of the winning tickets in the$579.9 million Powerball jackpot was purchasedWednesday in Fountain Hills,Ariz.
TICKET From Page 1
someone just passingthrough,” she said. “It’s asmall town where every-one is really nice.”
Kevin Bryan boughthis ticket at the TrexMart and made an extratrip to his mother’s homein Dearborn to verifythat the ticket he left onher counter wasn’t, infact, the winner.
“When I heard it wassold here in Dearborn Iabout fell over,” Bryansaid, as he hung Christ-mas lights outside hismother’s home.
He said the only otherlocal lottery win he couldremember was when anarea farmer won about$100,000 in scratch-offgame years ago “andbought himself a com-bine.”
The winning ticketsold in Arizona was pur-chased at a 4 Sons FoodStore in Fountain Hillsnear Phoenix, state lot-tery officials said. Cus-tomers poured into thestore, to check their tick-ets and share in the bigmoment.
“I think it’s crazy, andI also think it’s great,”said Bob Chebat, whomanages the 4 Sons. “I’mglad that all that workyesterday wasn’t fornothing.”
The store was sweptup in a nationwideticket-buying spree pre-ceding Wednesday’sdrawing, with the bigmoney enticing manypeople who rarely, if ever,play the lottery to buy a
shot at the payout.Clerks at 4 Sons sold
986 Powerball ticketsWednesday, whichChebat said was wellabove average.
Baron Hartell, son ofthe owner of the Mis-souri store, said if thewinner isn’t a local resi-dent it might have beena truck driver. Interstate29 connects Kansas Cityto the Canadian border,so it’s a busy thorough-fare in both directions.
“Even the truck driv-ers who come around, wesee them every day, sothey all feel like all localsto us,” he said.
Store manager ChrisNaurez said businesshad been “crazy” forPowerball tickets latelyand that the store hadsold about $27,000 worthof tickets in the last fewdays.
“This really putsDearborn on the map,”he said.
Kenny Gilbert, thegeneral manager of TrexMart, suggested his staffwould be sharing in the$50,000 bounty that thestore will be awarded forselling one of the win-ning tickets.
“The response fromthe owner was, ‘I guesswe’ll be able to give outChristmas bonuses,’”Gilbert said. “That’s nice,especially at this time ofyear.”
Winners in both stateshave 180 days to claimtheir share of the prizemoney.
The numbers drawnWednesday night were 5,16, 22, 23, 29.The Power-ball was 6. The $587.5million payout repre-sents the second-largestjackpot in U.S. history.
Tickets sold at a rateof 130,000 a minute na-tionwide — about sixtimes the volume from aweek ago. That pushedthe jackpot even higher,said Chuck Strutt, exec-utive director of theMulti-State Lottery As-sociation. The jackpotrolled over 16 consecu-tive times without a win-ner.
Bob Kangas realizedWednesday night thatone of two winningPowerball jackpot ticketshad been bought in Ari-zona, but he didn’t im-mediately check hisnumbers.
“I didn’t want to lookbecause I just wanted todream about being rich,”Kangas said Thursdaywhile checking his tick-ets at the 4 Sons storewhere he bought his tick-ets — and where thewinning ticket was sold.
“I just wanted todream all night,” he said,breathing a heavy sighas he realized his ticketswere not winners.
In a Mega Millionsdrawing in March, threeticket buyers shared a$656 million jackpot.This remains the largestlottery payout of all time.

election challenge of di-vided government.
Boehner suggested asmuch when one reporterasked if his commentsmeant he was breakingoff talks with the WhiteHouse and congressionalDemocrats.
“No, no, no. Stop,” hequickly answered.
“I’ve got to tell you, I’mdisappointed in where weare, and disappointed inwhat’s happened over thelast couple weeks. Butgoing over the fiscal cliffis serious business.”
Republican aides pro-vided the first descrip-tion of theWhite House’soffer, although Demo-cratic officials readilyconfirmed the outlines.
Under the proposal,the White House is seek-ing passage by year’s endof tax increases totaling$1.6 trillion over adecade, including therate hikes sought byObama.
Obama also asked forapproval by year’s end of$30 billion to renew ex-piring jobless benefits,$25 billion to prevent alooming Jan. 1 cut in feesfor doctors who treatMedicare patients and anundisclosed amount tohelp homeowners hit bythe collapse in real estatevalues.
The White House alsowants a new stimuluspackage to aid the econ-omy, with a price tag forthe first year of $50 bil-lion, as well as an exten-sion of the SocialSecurity payroll tax cutthat is due to end on Dec.31, or some way to offsetthe impact of its expira-tion.
In political terms, theWhite House proposal isa near mirror image ofwhat officials have saidRepublicans earlier laiddown as their first offer— a permanent exten-sion of income tax cuts atall levels, an increase inthe age of Medicare eligi-bility and steps to curtailfuture growth in SocialSecurity cost-of-living in-creases.
In exchange, the GOPhas offered to supportunspecified increases inrevenue as part of tax re-form legislation to bewritten in 2013.
The GOP said theWhite House was offer-ing unspecified spendingcuts this year. Thosewould be followed nextyear by legislation pro-ducing savings fromMedicare and other bene-fit programs of up to$400 billion over adecade, a companion toan overhaul of the taxcode.
For the first time sincethe Nov., 6 elections, par-tisan bickering seems totrump productive bar-gaining as the two sidesmaneuvered for position.
Senate MajorityLeader Harry Reid toldreporters, “We’re stillwaiting for a serious offerfrom Republicans,” theNevada Democrat said ata news conference.
Sen. Chuck Schumer,D-N.Y., was more em-phatic.
Referring to a meetingat theWhite House morethan a week ago, he saidboth sides agreed to atwo-part framework thatwould include a signifi-cant down payment in2012, along with a planto expand on the savingsin 2013.

selves never faced re-porters.
“Each man wanted tohave a private conversa-tion,” said White Housespokesman Jay Carney.“They didn’t want to turnit into a press event.”
Much has happenedalready in American poli-tics since the Nov. 6 elec-tion, when voters ended afierce presidential race bychoosing Obama in con-vincing fashion. Romneyis among those who haveopined on why he lost,telling donors Obamawon by giving “gifts” togroups like Latinos,blacks and young voters.
Carney said that com-ment, widely panned asdisparaging by leaders ofboth parties, did not hangover the postelection
meeting of the two men.The spokesman under-
scored Obama’s interestin listening to Romney’sideas.
Obama presumablydid so without accusinghis former rival of having“Romnesia” about his ownpositions, as the presidenthad once charged with awicked smile.
Long gone too, itseemed,wasRomney’s ac-cusation over the summerthat Obama was runninga “campaign of divisionand anger and hate.”
“Gov. Romney congrat-ulated the president for
the success of his cam-paign and wished himwell over the coming fouryears,” the White Housestatement said.
And this: “Theypledged to stay in touch,particularly if opportuni-ties to work together onshared interests arise.”
Romney adviser EricFehrnstrom agreed that itwas a “very friendlylunch” between two menwho spoke about the bigchallenges facing the na-tion.
Still, Romney did notget the warmest of wel-comes coming into the
White House gates.The Secret Service said
a man interfered with hisvehicle as it arrived at asecure checkpoint nearthe White House. Theman was later inter-viewed by an officer andbecame combative, theSecret Service said. Hewas charged with assaulton a police officer and un-lawful entry.
As for themeeting that
followed, aides familiarwith both sides said itamounted to politicalsymbolism and a promisekept but that it had nosubstantive or specificagenda. Obama had toldthe watching world onelection night that hewould sit downwithRom-ney in the weeks ahead.
That they did, in thedining room just off theOval Office.

It’s as tough an early-sea-son schedule one could find,and it begins for the SidneyYellow Jackets on Saturdaynight at Beavercreek.The Jackets have some tal-
ent and experience returning,and they will be tested in a bigway.In describing the early-
season opponents, headcoach Greg Snyder soundedlike the proverbial brokenrecord, saying over and over“They have nearly everybodyback.”“I think we’re ready to play
somebody else,” Snyder saidThursday. “It’ll be fun to getout there, but we play someawfully good teams to startthe year.”Snyder said Beavercreek
returns 60 points from lastyear, spread out among fourreturning starters.“They won 18 games last
year and have four startersback,” he said. “And 60 pointsback... Not many teams cansay that.”Of course, this early it’s
tough to know a lot about youropponent, and Snyder saidhe’s looking forward to watch-ing the Beavers open theirseason tonight against Mid-dletown.“It will be interesting to see
how they play against them,”Snyder said. “I assume theywill try to pressure us andforces some turnovers. So tak-ing care of the ball will bekey.”The Jackets have Tyree
Manley back with his 11.5 av-erage but no one else on thisyear’s team averaged in dou-ble figures. So Snyder is hop-ing for a real “team”philosophy.“We’re going to have to be
very good as a team becausewe’re going to be overmatchedin spots,” he said. “We’ll needsomething from everybody.”
He said he will ask Manleyto do a lot for this team andwill keep him at the pointguard spot.“We’re a better team with
Tyree out there,” Snyder said.“We struggled at times toscore points in preseason, soit’s just a matter of buildingup consistency, on both ends ofthe floor. It’s coming but we’renot quite on the same pageyet.“I look for some young kids
to step up, guys like EricBeigel and Connor Echols out-side,” he added. “And wepulled up a freshman,Lorenzo Taborn, who hassome real good ability.”In addition, he’s looking
for big things from JamesDaniel, who is back on thesquad after not playing lastseason.The Jackets’ size will come
from Gold Barnes, who islisted at 6-foot-8. He’s an ac-complished shot-blocker whoSnyder is trying to get more
involved in the offense thisseason.The Jackets come back
Tuesday night and play theirfirst home game of the season,and Snyder talked in superla-tives about the opponent, theWayne Warriors.“They return virtually
everybody and they’re goingto be awesome,” he said. “Andfrom what I hear, everybodyhas grown three inches. Andtheir loaded with athleticism.They played three or fourfreshmen and three or foursophomores last season.”After that comes a game a
week from tonight againstWest Carrollton, who Snydersays also returns most of itsteam from last year.As if that isn’t tough
enough, following that gamethe Jackets play sevenstraight on the road.“We know we have a chal-
lenge, but our kids are anx-ious to see where they stand,”Snyder said.

superb balance, with ClaireMcCullough and MicahleaKramer scoring 11, CaseyBergman 10 andHannahKochand Logan Pitts nine each.“I was really pleased with
that becausewewere in seriousfoul trouble in the first half,”said Botkins coach Don Mack.“I thought Claire and Hannahreally stepped up for us.”Botins was 13-for-16 from

Challenging early-seasonschedule starts SaturdayYellow Jackets travel to Beavercreek to open season
Lehman and Minstersquare off with each othertonight to open the boys bas-ketball season, the game setfor the Lehman gym.The Cavaliers are again
under the coaching of IsaiahWilliams, and they head intothe season with some bigholes to fill.The Cavs had one of the top
one-two punches in the arealast season in Alex Baker andSolomon King-White. Butboth have graduated, takingnearly 50 points a game withthem.In an attempt to make up
for the loss of King-White,Williams said the point guardspot will be by committee thisseason.In Minster, the Cavaliers
face a team with some veteranplayers who have beenthrough a lot, like playoff foot-ball, and back-to-back statechampionships in baseball.Minster coach Mike Lee
faced much the same thing hehas in the past, getting a latestart at practice because ofthe success of the footballteam. And for his trouble hegets two tough games to openthe season, Friday against theCavaliers and Saturday athome against a goodSpencerville squad“It’s been a rushed presea-
son,” Lee said. “I’d love to saywe could use another two orthree weeks, but in this dayand age with as many gamesas we play, there’s not a wholelot of room to move thingsaround. The biggest thing isjust like this weekend, a dou-ble weekend right off the bat.I’m looking to get the kids intobasketball shape, which is to-tally different from football. Ihaven’t seen anything major,but it’s not like our kids havehad back-to-back toughgames. So we’ll try to figurethings out.”Lee says it will be a good
opener for his squad Friday atLehman.“I don’t know a lot about
them,” he said of the Cavs. “Iknow they lost their top twoscorers but I also know theirkids had a successful summer.I’m sure the excitement willbe there.We’re just going to goin there and be ready to play.”He expects another chal-
lenge Saturday againstSpencerville, a team theWild-cats lost to last season andhas a lot of those same playersreturning this year.

Nebraska and Oklahoma will renew one of col-lege football's greatest rivalries for two seasons.The schools announced Thursday they have
signed a contract that will have the Cornhuskersand Sooners play in 2021 in Norman, Okla., and in2022 in Lincoln, Neb. Both games will be in Sep-tember.“I think it's a great deal,” said Johnny Rodgers,
the 1972 Heisman Trophy winner from Nebraska.“So many people really miss Oklahoma and Ne-braska because they kind of grew up with it onThanksgiving. It was the most viewed of games.”The Huskers and Sooners played 71 straight sea-
sons as members of the Big Six and Big Eight. Thegame decided the Big Eight championship 31 timesin 36 seasons.The teams moved to the Big 12 in 1996 and met
twice every four years. Nebraska went to the BigTen in 2011.
ATLANTA (AP) — Jason Heyward was in theaudience as B.J. Upton was introduced Thursday asAtlanta's new centerfielder.That made manager Fredi Gonza-
lez smile as he realized he didn't haveto worry so much about finding thethird starter in his outfield.“Shoot, we may not even need a left
fielder,” Gonzalez said.Upton was given a No. 2 Braves jer-
sey after finalizing a $75.25 million,five-year contract — the biggest evergiven a free agent by the franchise. Hegets a $3 million signing bonus payable by Dec. 31and salaries of $12.45 million next season, $13.45million in 2014, $14.45 million in 2015, $15.45 mil-lion in 2016 and $16.45 million in 2017.The 28-year-old spent his first eight big seasons
with Tampa Bay. He hit .246 with 28 homers, 78RBIs and 31 steals this year and replaces MichaelBourn in center. He is not expected to fill Bourn'srole as a leadoff hitter.

day at the Myers Brothers Luncheonat The Encore at Wynn. The award ispresented annually by the NationalMotorsports Press Association.Fans vote from February through

ers to win it more than five times. Elliott holds theoverall record with 16 most popular awards.
WALTHAM, Mass.

Portland Trail Blazers and Sunday's against theBucks in Milwaukee. He will also give up $200,000in pay.Celtics center Kevin Garnett was fined $25,000
for his role in the scuffle, and Nets forward GeraldWallace was fined $35,000.Rondo was thrown out of Wednesday night's 95-
83 loss to the Nets in the second quarter when heshoved Nets forward Kris Humphries off the par-quet to retaliate for a hard foul on Garnett. A shov-ing match ensued; Rondo, Humphries and Wallacewere all ejected.
CLEVELAND (AP) — The Cavaliers havewaived forward Luke Harangody and signed rookieforward Kevin Jones.Harangody recently underwent arthroscopic
knee surgery and is expected to be sidelined for an-other month. The former Notre Dame star ap-peared in 42 games over the past two seasons forCleveland, averaging 4.5 points and 3.5 rebounds.He did not play in a game this season.Jones was signed by Cleveland as an undrafted

BEREA, Ohio (AP) —For the past two weeks,Cleveland’s defense hasbeen a swarming massthat will stop at nothingto inflict pain and pun-ishment on its opponent.The Browns have
been ruthless, relentless.“They’re like a bunch
of fire ants,” offensive co-ordinator Brad Chil-dress said.With consecutive
dominant performancesagainst Dallas and Pitts-burgh, Cleveland’s de-fense is establishingitself as one of the NFL’sup-and-coming units.Don’t tell cornerback JoeHaden that, though. Hebelieves the Browns de-serve to be consideredamong the elite already.“I would say we’re one
of the top five defenses,for sure,” Haden saidThursday as the Browns(3-8) continued to pre-pare for Sunday’s gameagainst the Raiders (3-8). “We have people whocan play their position,are really good at it andeverybody’s establishednow and they under-stand what’s going on.“We have playmakers
that can make plays atevery level, and whenwe’re all healthy andeverybody’s doing theirthing, we’re up therewith the best.”They’ve certainly
been at their best thepast two Sundays.Last week, the
Browns forced eightturnovers — five fum-bles, three interceptions— in a 20-14 win overthe Steelers. The eighttakeaways were themost by any team since2001 and most by aCleveland team since1989. Also, the Brownsheld Pittsburgh to 49yards rushing, thefewest by a Clevelandopponent in nine years.One week earlier, the
Browns sacked Cowboysquarterback Tony Romoseven times and allowedDallas only 64 yardsrushing. Prior to theirbye, the Browns were al-lowing 132.2 yards onthe ground per game.Since then, they’re giv-
ing up just 56 — theleague’s best total.It’s no coincidence
that defensive tacklesAhtyba Rubin and PhilTaylor have played inboth games.Taylor missed Cleve-
land’s first eight gamesafter undergoing surgeryto repair a chest musclethe 335-pounder torewhile lifting weights inMay. The underratedRubin sat out threegames with a calf injury.But now that the beefypair have been reunited,the Browns’ defense hasbecome a heavyweight.Cleveland’s defensive
line has become theteam’s strength.The injuries to Taylor
and Rubin allowed rookietackles Billy Winn andJohn Hughes to get more
playing time right away,andwhile theremay havebeen some early growingpains, the two kids havequickly matured into de-pendable players.Also, the return of
Taylor and Rubin hasfreed up ends JabaalSheard and FrosteeRucker to make moreplays, and allowed de-fensive coordinator DickJauron to rotate JuquaParker and Ishmaa’ilyKitchen into the lineupwithout worrying aboutany letdown.It’s taken a while, but
the Browns finally havethe defense on the fieldthey envisioned havingto start the season.It’s all come together.“We’re just flying
around playing as a solidgroup, a big-time unitand we’ve been trying toget a complete game outof us for a while,” saidRucker, signed by Cleve-land as a free agent inthe offseason after sixyears with Cincinnati.“We’ve shown flasheshere and there. Startingthe year, we played somegood ball. It got a littlebit away from us, andnow we’re just right backto where we want to be.We’re getting guys backand we just want tomake something happenthese last couple ofgames.”
