Library floor fixed,
Marks new page
BY STACY TAFF
[email protected]
DELPHOS — The
Delphos Public Library Board
of Trustees has been busy
knocking items off its to-do
list. At Wednesday’s meet-
ing, Director Nancy Mericle
announced the completion of
the meeting room floor repairs
by Vonderwell Contracting,
Inc.; landscaping around The
First Edition building by Mox
Nursery; and the hiring of a
new page.
“The meeting room floor
is now done,” Mericle said
in reference to repairs made
to the floor in the back cor-
ner of the room, which was
sinking. “They said it would
take around four hours to drill
the holes, pump the concrete
in and clean up. Two hours
later, they were done, cleaned
up and everything. We can go
in after the holes have dried
and paint it all to match the
surrounding tile.”
The repairs cost $935.
“After our last meeting, I
called Jimmy Mox about the
landscaping and he came by
and did some groundwork,”
Mericle continued. “Then he
said he had a few other jobs
to complete before he could
get started. He came back
about a week ago and com-
pleted the project. He gave
us exactly what we asked for,
which was low-maintenance
plants.”
Money for the landscap-
ing will be taken out of a
$300 donation from the
Green Thumb Garden Club
and from the remainder of
the library’s funds from the
Dienstberger Foundation.
As for the new page,
Mericle says the selected
candidate should be able to
start soon.
“We narrowed them down
and decided to go with Emily
Marks, a young girl from
Jefferson,” she said. “She’s
still getting her physical and
other things together for her
work release but I’ll be giv-
ing her a call soon and we’ll
maybe get her started next
week.”
Another project the board
saw completed this month
was the wall decorations for
The First Edition Building.
The board hired Sign Pro
Imaging to enlarge old black
and white photographs of
Delphos and make canvas
prints of them to display on
the building’s walls.
BP to pay billions
for Gulf spill
By MICHAEL
KUNZELMAN
NEW ORLEANS (AP) —
Oil giant BP has agreed to pay
the largest criminal penalty in
U.S. history, totaling billions
of dollars, for the 2010 oil
spill in the Gulf of Mexico, a
person familiar with the deal
said today.
The person, who spoke
on condition of anonymity
because they were not autho-
rized to speak on the record
about the deal, also said two
BP PLC employees face
manslaughter charges over
the death of 11 people in the
explosion of the Deepwater
Horizon oil rig that triggered
the massive spill.
The person said BP will
plead guilty to obstruction for
lying to Congress about how
much oil was pouring out of
the ruptured well.
The Deepwater Horizon
rig, 50 miles off the Louisiana
coast, sank after the April
20, 2010, explosion. The well
on the sea floor spewed an
estimated 206 million gallons
of crude oil, soiling sensitive
tidal estuaries and beaches,
killing wildlife and shutting
vast areas of the Gulf to com-
mercial fishing.
The spill exposed lax gov-
ernment oversight and led to
a temporary ban on deepwa-
ter drilling while officials and
the oil industry studied the
risks, worked to make it safer
and developed better disaster
plans.
BP’s environmentally-
friendly image was tarnished,
and independent gas station
owners who fly the BP flag
claimed they lost business
from customers who were
upset over the spill. BP chief
executive Tony Hayward
stepped down after the
company’s repeated gaffes,
including his statement at the
height of the crisis: “I’d like
my life back.”
The cost of BP’s spill far
surpassed the Exxon Valdez
spill in 1989. Exxon ultimate-
ly settled with the U.S. gov-
ernment for $1 billion, which
would be about $1.8 billion
today.
The government and
plaintiffs’ attorneys also sued
Transocean Ltd., the rig’s
owner, and cement contrac-
tor Halliburton, but a string
of pretrial rulings by a fed-
eral judge undermined BP’s
legal strategy to pin blame
on them.
At the time of the explo-
sion, the Deepwater Horizon
was drilling into BP’s
Macondo well. The rig sank
two days later.
After several attempts
failed, engineers finally were
successful in capping the well
on July 15, 2010, halting the
flow of oil into the Gulf of
Mexico after more than 85
days.
The disaster also created
a new lexicon in American
vocabulary — such as top kill

Patton, Calvelage to retire as Red Cross volunteers
Two local blood drive volunteers have decided to retire from the American Red
Cross. Elda Calvelage, who put in 23 years, and Pat Patton, who served 45, will be
missed at future blood drives. Patton, center, stands with successor Janet Elchert, left,
as donor Bill Hirn gives blood behind them. Patton, who started working blood drives
at the American Legion in the early 1960s, will miss the bonds she’s forged while work-
ing with the Red Cross. “I’ll miss the people most,” she said. “Over the years, you get
acquainted with the nurses and the other volunteers and the donors.” Coordinator Pat
Weger commented on behalf of Calvelage, who was unable to attend Thursday’s blood
drive. “Elda is the chairman of the canteen and she has served in that capacity for 23
years,” Weger said. “She has done an exceptional job for the American Red Cross.
Both Elda and Pat have been dedicated workers and their help has been greatly appre-
ciated. They will be missed by all at the blood drive.”
Jennings school board
OKs outdoor lab gift
BY STEPHANIE GROVES
[email protected]
FORT JENNINGS — Fort
Jennings School Board mem-
bers approved a $1,500 dona-
tion from the Mindy Lauf
Memorial Fund for an Outdoor
Science Lab Wednesday and
the creation of the fund. The
board also approved a dona-
tion of children’s books from
the Dan Weyrauch family.
In old business, members
discussed and approved the
biennial band trip contract.
Superintendent Nicholas
Langhals gave an update on
that trip to Disney World
in Florida Oct. 30 through
Nov. 4, 2013. Band mem-
bers will be transported to
Disney World by bus. Each
student has the opportunity
to be involved in two trips
throughout their high school
career — one trip to Disney
and the other to Chicago.
“At this time, there is no
estimated cost for the trip,
which is dependent on the
number of students par-
ticipating,” Langhals noted.
“Funding for the trip will be
made through fund-raisers
held by the Band Boosters.”
In new business, the
approval of Jenn Neidert
as volunteer cheer assistant
will be dependent upon her
completion of certification
requirements.
“She expressed a great an
interest in helping the cheer
team,” Langhals enthusiasti-
cally added.
Elementary students are
keeping busy this month.
Principal Kathleen Verhoff
ran through a list of activi-
ties students have participated
in, including a mock presi-
dential election and opin-
ion polls. Verhoff reported
that the student’s choice for
president did not mirror the
national outcome. The opin-
ion polls encompassed two
separate issues — the con-
tinued use of paper towels
verses electric hand dryers
and 5-day-a-week, 9-month
school year verses 4-day-a-
week, 11-month school year.
With a 48-percent vote for
paper towels, electric hand
dryers won hands down. In
addition, 61 percent of the
students voted to keep the
5-day, 9-month school year
intact.
Also included in Verhoff’s
list of activities is a Bully
Prevention Assembly —
Stand Up, which is scheduled
for 2 p.m. on Monday.
Dean of Students/Athletic
Director Todd Hoehn gave

Today is Thursday, Nov.
15, the 320th day of 2012.
There are 46 days left in the
year.
Today’s Highlight in
History:
On Nov. 15, 1942, the
naval Battle of Guadalcanal
ended during World War II
with a decisive U.S. victory
over Japanese forces.
On this date:
In 1777, the Second
Continental Congress
approved the Articles of
Confederation.
In 1806, explorer Zebulon
Pike sighted the mountaintop
now known as Pikes (cq) Peak
in present-day Colorado.
In 1889, Brazil was pro-
claimed a republic as its
emperor, Dom Pedro II, was
overthrown.
In 1937, the House and
Senate chambers of the U.S.
Capitol were air-conditioned
for the first time.
In 1939, President Franklin
D. Roosevelt laid the corner-
stone of the Jefferson Memorial
in Washington, D.C.

“In conjunction with les-
sons in class, 8th- and 9th-
grade students participate in
a real world learning experi-
ence,” Hoehn explained the
program sponsored by OSU
extension. “They are given a
job, budget and checkbook
and learn those life responsi-
bilities through the activity.”
(Continued from page 1)
“We have the prints here
and all that remains is for us
to hang them up,” Mericle
said. “I left it to them to
determine the sizes of the
prints based on the quality of
the images and they turned
out really well. This is also
a good way for businesses in
town and people who use this
building to see that we have
these pictures at the library,
in case they want to use them,
too.”
As the library finished
three projects, two more
popped up in their place.
“Our boilers are inspected
yearly and this year we didn’t
pass,” Mericle said. “We need
temperature operator con-
trols and water check valves.
I called Reliable Plumbing
& Heating and they ordered
those parts. As soon as they
come in, they’ll be over here
to take care of that.”
Another thing is the dust
problem that’s come up in
The First Edition. Every time
we come over here there’s
a layer of something that
looks a little like sawdust
coating everything. We
called Servpro of Lima, they
do commercial duct clean-
ing, and they said it could
be from the drywall or the
cement. We didn’t notice it
in the summer with the air
conditioning. It’s only with
the heater on. It’s getting to
be a nuisance. Every time
someone uses the building
we have to clean everything
off. Servpro quoted us $625
to fix it.”
The board gave Mericle
permission to approve the
quote by Servpro.
In other news, the board is
seeking a new library direc-
tor to fill Mericle’s shoes
and accepted resignation

BP
(Continued from page 1)
and junk shot — as crews
used innovative solutions to
attempt to plug the spewing
well with pieces of rubber.
As people all over the world
watched a live spill camera
on the Internet and televi-
sion, the Obama administra-
tion dealt with a political
headache, in part because
the government grossly
underestimated how much
crude was spilling into the
Gulf.
U.S. District Judge Carl
Barbier in New Orleans was
assigned to oversee tens of
thousands of court claims
spawned by the explo-
sion. A trial date was set,
but Barbier postponed it
so BP could hammer out
a deal with attorneys for
Gulf Coast shrimpers, com-
mercial fishermen, charter
captains, property owners,
environmental groups, res-
taurants, hotels and others
who claim they suffered
economic losses after the
spill. Relatives of workers
killed in the blast also sued.
Barbier gave his prelimi-
nary approval to that pro-
posed settlement in May and
scheduled a January trial
for the remaining claims,
including those by the fed-
eral government and Gulf
states.
In a pretrial court filing,
the Justice Department said
it would argue that BP’s
actions and decisions lead-
ing up to the deadly blow-
out amounted to gross neg-
ligence.
“We do not use words
like ‘gross negligence’ and
‘willful misconduct’ light-
ly,” a Justice Department
attorney wrote. “But the fact
remains that people died,
many suffered injuries to
their livelihood, and the
Gulf’s complex ecosystem
was harmed as a result of
BP and Transocean’s bad
acts or omissions.”
One of Barbier’s rul-
ings possibly insulates
Transocean and Halliburton
from billions of dollars
in liability. Barbier said
Transocean and Halliburton
weren’t obligated to pay
for many pollution claims
because of contracts they
signed with BP.
The Justice Department
opened a criminal investiga-
tion of the spill. The only
person facing charges so far
is former BP engineer Kurt
Mix, who was arrested in
Texas in April on obstruc-
tion of justice charges. Mix
is accused of deleting text
messages about the com-
pany’s response to the spill,
not what happened before
the explosion.
The companies also sued
each other, although some
of those cases were set-
tled last year. BP has sued
Transocean for at least $40
billion in damages.
And there are still other
claims against BP from
financial institutions, casi-
nos and racetracks, insur-
ance companies, local gov-
ernments and losses caused
by a government-imposed
moratorium on drilling after
the spill.
None of those are covered
by BP’s proposed settlement
with the private lawyers.
A series of government
investigations have spread
blame for the disaster.
In January 2011, a presi-
dential commission found
that the spill was caused
by time-saving, cost-cutting
decisions by BP, Halliburton
and Transocean that created
unacceptable risk. The panel
didn’t point blame at any
one individual, concluding
the mistakes were caused by
systemic problems.
In September 2011,
however, a team of Coast
Guard officials and federal
regulators issued a report
that concluded BP bears
ultimate responsibility for
the spill. The report found
BP violated federal regula-
tions, ignored crucial warn-
ings and made bad decisions
during the cementing of the
well a mile beneath the Gulf
of Mexico.
BP has repeatedly said it
accepts some responsibility
for the spill and will pay
what it owes, while urging
other companies to pay their
share.
BP waived a $75 million
cap on its liability for certain
economic damage claims
under the 1990 Oil Pollution
Act, though it denied any
gross negligence.

Dear EarthTalk: What is the “Bluesign”
standard for textiles? Which if any well
known manufacturers are embracing it?
— Karin Romano, Bristol, CT

Bluesign is an emerging standard for envi-
ronmental health and safety in the manu-
facturing of textiles. The Switzerland-based
organization, officially known as Bluesign
Technologies AG, provides independent
auditing of textile mills, examining manufac-
turing processes from raw materials and ener-
gy inputs to water and air emissions outputs.
Each component is assessed based on its eco-
toxicological impact. Bluesign ranks its audit
findings in order of concern, and suggests
ways to reduce consumption while recom-
mending alternatives to harmful chemicals or
processes where applicable. Textile mills that
commit to verifiably adopting Bluesign’s rec-
ommendations can become certified “System
Partners” and attract business from a wide
range of brands and retailers around the world
looking for greener vendors.
Eco-aware consumers can feel confident
purchasing clothing items with the Bluesign
label that they are buying the most environ-
mentally friendly, socially conscious version
of the jacket, shirt, sweater, pants, hat or
gloves in question. Given the push for greener
products of every kind, Bluesign has gained
serious traction in the last few years among
some of the leading brands in the outdoor
clothing and gear business.
Patagonia was Bluesign’s first “brand”
member and has been supportive of the pro-
gram since its inception in 2000. While only
16 percent of the products in its 2012 line
contain Bluesign-approved fabrics, the com-
pany has set a goal with its suppliers to have
all Patagonia fabrics adhere to the standard
by 2015.
The North Face is a newer partner for
Bluesign, but no less committed: The com-
pany has been going gangbusters for the
standard since 2010, and offers several cloth-
ing items made with at least 90 percent
Bluesign-approved fabrics. Over the two years
it has been converting its supply chain over to
Bluesign-approved vendors, The North Face
has saved 85 Olympic swimming pools worth
of water, 38 tanker trucks worth of chemicals,
and carbon emissions similar to taking some
1,100 cars off the road for a year.
Another leading outdoor clothing manu-
facturer embracing Bluesign is Norway’s
Helly Hansen. In its 2012 line, more than
100 of Helly Hansen’s 500 products contain
fabrics that meet the Bluesign standard; that
number is expected to increase by 50 per-
cent in 2013. Helly Hansen would go fully
Bluesign except that some of its specialty
products that need to be flame retardant
do not meet the standard. The company is
optimistic, however, that textile makers can
solve that problem—and then it can offer a
100 percent Bluesign-approved product line.
Some of the other big outdoor brands that
have teamed up with Bluesign include REI
and Canada’s Mountain Equipment Co-op
(MEC).
Whether Bluesign catches on more widely
in this dog-eat-dog, economically stressed
business climate remains to be seen. “Earning
Bluesign approval costs mills and suppliers
time and money,” reports MEC. “They have
to be convinced they’ll get a return on their
investment in the form of increased demand
for their products from manufacturers like
MEC and ultimately from consumers.”

EPA report troubles Ohio
cancer cluster families
CLYDE (AP) — Soil sam-
ples showing high levels of a
chemical believed to increase
the risk of certain cancers
were found at a former park
in an area of northern Ohio
where cancer has sickened
dozens of children for more
than a decade, according to
environmental regulators.
The U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency report on
the findings, though, doesn’t
link the contaminants with
the cancer cluster that has
been under investigation by
state and federal agencies for
more than six years. Nearly
40 young people have been
diagnosed with cancer since
the mid-1990s in the area.
The odds are against coming
up with an answer, even with
this recent finding, because
pinpointing the cause of a can-
cer cluster rarely happens.
Environmental regulators
began testing for contamina-
tion in the Clyde area between
Cleveland and Toledo ear-
lier this year. State agencies
already had conducted a vari-
ety of tests, including air and
groundwater sampling and
radiation checks at homes
and schools.
The EPA found that soil
samples taken in June near a
basketball court showed met-
als and PCBs, or polychlori-
nated biphenyls, in amounts
exceeding what the EPA con-
siders safe levels.
The park in the village
of Green Springs was built
in the 1950s by Whirlpool
Corp., which has a washing
machine factory in Clyde.
The park closed about five
years ago.
A tip left on a hotline indi-
cated the Benton Harbor,
Mich.-based company used a
black sludge-like material to fill
in the area near the basketball
court, the EPA report said.
Whirlpool said in a state-
ment that the current prop-
erty owner has turned down
requests for additional testing.
“We are prepared to move
forward immediately with the
first steps of the evaluation
once granted access to the
property,” the company said.
Families whose children
were among those diagnosed
with brain tumors, leukemia,
lymphoma and other forms
of cancer said they were trou-
bled by the report.
“Obviously it is upsetting
to learn that such significant
amounts of poison sludge
are dumped anywhere, but to
either dump it in proximity
or cover it over with a chil-
dren’s park and a swimming
pool filled with water coming
from the very spot where the
dumping occurred, is an out-
rage,” said Alan Mortensen,
an attorney working with
some of the families.
Investigators over the past
years have been focusing on a
12-mile-wide circle of mostly
farmland just south of Lake
Erie.
Many of the diagnoses
came between 2002 and 2006,
leading state health authorities
to declare it a cancer cluster
because the number and type
of diagnoses exceeded what
would be expected.
Columbus reports
770 cases of
bacterial illness
COLUMBUS (AP) —
Health officials in Ohio’s
capital city say they’re investi-
gating more than 770 cases of
a bacterial illness that primar-
ily affects young children, and
they’re urging parents to take
precautions to help stop the
outbreak.
Columbus officials say they
haven’t seen such a large num-
ber of Shigella cases in the
past decade. The health com-
missioner says many cases are
linked to childcare centers and
locations where young chil-
dren are in close contact.
Shigella bacteria cause an
intestinal infection that can
lead to diarrhea and dehy-
dration. It can be transmitted
through human waste and can
be spread if care isn’t taken
when changing diapers and
cleaning up after bathroom
breaks.
Officials are urging
increased hand-washing
among children and caregivers
and telling parents to keep sick
kids home from day care.
Boy’s explosive
could bring
criminal charges
JEFFERSON (AP) — The
county prosecutor’s office is
considering bringing criminal
charges against a 16-year-old
boy who brought an explosive
to classes at the Ashtabula
County Technical and Career
Center.
The (Ashtabula) Star
Beacon reports that authori-
ties say dynamite was found
in the boy’s backpack last
Friday after another student
alerted school administrators.
Deputies say the boy told a
student he might detonate it in
auto mechanics class.
The boy, who lives in
Geneva Township, was sus-
pended for 10 days and could
be expelled from school. He
says he stuck the device in
his backpack some time ago,
intending to “blow stuff up”
after school with a friend. He
says he never intended to use
it in school.
The device was given to the
Lake County Bomb Squad for
disposal.
Cleveland casino
gets 2.6M visitors
CLEVELAND (AP) —
Operators say the first of
Ohio’s four new casinos has
had more than 2.6 million visi-
tors during its first six months
of operation.
The Horseshoe Casino
Cleveland opened in May at
the old Higbee department
store with the promise of a
tax windfall and jobs for about
1,600 employees.
The head of the Cleveland’s
marketing and tourism agency
says the casino developers
have followed through on a
promise to incorporate other
city attractions and promote
local tourism.
The downtown casino has
nearly 90 table games, 1,900
slots and a 30-table poker
room. Developers say the
casino plans to add two dozen
more table games.
Casinos have opened
in Toledo and Columbus.
Ohio House passes crackdown on dog breeders
COLUMBUS (AP) — A
bill that would crack down
on high-volume dog breed-
ing operations, dubbed puppy
mills, has cleared the Ohio
House.
The bill passed on a 91-5
vote Wednesday, sending it
back to the Senate to sign off
on House changes.
The measure would bolster
regulations on the care and
treatment of animals housed
in large-scale establishments
and would distinguish the
facilities from traditional dog
kennels. Those considered
“dog retailers” would have to
be licensed.
The bill creates an adviso-
ry board to provide guidance
on animal care standards for
the facilities. It also allows
the director of the state’s
agriculture department to
contract with local veteri-
narians to conduct inspec-
tions. Annual, rather than
biennial, inspections would
be required. And animal res-
cues would have to regis-
ter with the Department of
Agriculture.

COLUMBUS — State
lawmakers moved for-
ward Wednesday with a bill
that would send Planned
Parenthood to the back of
the line for public family-
planning money, even as
crowds of chanting protesters
lined the Statehouse halls to
oppose the measure.
The Health and Aging
Committee planned a vote
later Wednesday on the bill,
which would then go to the
House floor. The Senate
would take up the measure
after Thanksgiving at the ear-
liest.
Chai rman Lynn
Wachtmann, a Republican
from Napoleon, said he
expected the panel to support
the measure.
Protesters in pink T-shirts
chanted “Hear us now!” as
they packed the hall out-
side the committee’s meet-
ing. Some were staffers of
Planned Parenthood. Other
protesters wore shirts reading
“Women are Watching.”
State Sen. Nina Turner,
a Cleveland Democrat, said
at a news conference on the
bill that Republicans in the
Statehouse were ignoring the
message sent by women with
last week’s re-election of
Democratic President Barack
Obama.
“It is absolutely immoral
and unconscionable what the
GOP is doing,” Turner said.
“They have not learned their
lesson. They are at it again,
but it is our job to teach
them.”
She said Planned
Parenthood provides needed
preventive health care to low-
income women that would be
jeopardized by the bill.
Wachtmann said other
quality providers of women’s
health care have sprung up
around the state and the bill
would give those centers a
chance at government funds.
“We have the potential of
a lot bigger offering to a lot
more women,” he said. “This
thought that the way every-
thing is today is the best way
to do it is just such an archaic
thought.”
Republican Senate
President Tom Niehaus said
his caucus is mulling the bill,
as well as what action — if any
— to take on another measure
that would ban most abortions
after the first detectable heart-
beat. The so-called heartbeat
bill, which has cleared the
House and is stalled in the
Senate, was another target
of the Statehouse protesters,
many of them female, on
Wednesday.
NARAL Pro-Choice Ohio
director Kellie Copeland said
if that bill passes, the protests
in Columbus will only get
bigger and louder.
Asked what message on
women’s issues he took away
as a Republican from last
week’s presidential election,
Niehaus left that to others.
“There are a lot of pundits
talking about what the elec-
tion meant. What I try to stay
focused on is what’s impor-
tant to Ohio right now, and
that’s jobs,” he said. “I mean,
what are we doing to help
make Ohio the right place
for people to start companies,
employ people, and how do
they go about getting jobs?
That’s where I want to keep
the focus in the Senate.”
Ohio lawmakers consider family planning bill
By ADAM GOLDMAN
and EILEEN SULLIVAN
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — It
started in May with a spiteful
email to the top U.S. com-
mander in Afghanistan. An
anonymous writer warned
Gen. John Allen that a friend
with whom he was meeting
in Washington the follow-
ing week was trouble and he
should stay away from her.
Allen thought the email
was a joke because he didn’t
know how anybody else
would know about his per-
sonal plans with his friend,
Florida socialite Jill Kelley, a
person close to Kelley said.
That email started a chain
of events that led to the
downfall of CIA Director
David Petreaus, put Allen’s
career on hold and landed
a decorated FBI agent in
hot water for talking about
an ongoing investigation. The
FBI traced that email and oth-
ers of a similar vein to Paula
Broadwell, Petraeus’ biogra-
pher, who agents would
soon learn had also been his
lover.
The fast-moving scandal
broke just days after President
Barack Obama was elected
to a second term in office.
Obama’s administration had
been on the defensive for
weeks because of a terror
attack on the U.S. Consulate
in Benghazi, Libya, that
left four Americans dead.
Briefings on the attack had
been postponed until after
the election and are now
focused more immediately
on Petraeus’ love life than
on how terrorists were able
to attack the poorly defended
consulate.
Obama said Wednesday
he’s seen no evidence that
national security was dam-
aged by the revelations that
ended his CIA director’s
career and imperil that of his
Afghanistan war command-
er. But lawmakers aren’t
taking Obama’s word for
it and grilled FBI and CIA
officials privately about the
same issues: whether national
security was jeopardized by
the case and why they didn’t
know about the investigation
sooner.
The FBI’s investigation of
the matter began last sum-
mer when Kelley turned
over anonymous emails that
had been sent to her and
Allen. The first anonymous
email was sent to Allen in
May, under the pseudonym
“Kelleypatrol,” the person
close to Kelley said, speaking
on condition of anonymity
because of the ongoing inves-
tigation.
In midsummer, Kelley
shared these emails with
an FBI agent, Frederick W.
Humphries, whom she met at
an FBI community program
in 2011.
Concerned that someone
was tracking the movements
of Allen and Petraeus, the
FBI agent set the investi-
gation in motion when he
handed the information to the
FBI’s cyber squad in Tampa.
But Humphries was cut out
of the loop and took that to
mean the FBI was not tak-
ing the case seriously, the
person close to Kelley said.
Humphries would later reach
out to Congress in a whis-
tle-blower role that has now
landed him under internal
scrutiny at the bureau.
But the FBI was taking the
case seriously and continues
to investigate.
The FBI has found a sub-
stantial number of classified
documents on Broadwell’s
computer and in her home,
according to a law enforce-
ment official who spoke
on condition of anonymity
because the official was not
authorized to speak publicly
about the case. Broadwell has
told agents that she took clas-
sified documents out of secu-
rity government buildings, the
official said. Unauthorized
possession of classified
national defense documents
is a crime. The Army has sus-
pended Broadwell’s security
clearance, which she had as
a former Army intelligence
officer.
The FBI also found emails
between Kelley and Allen
that were turned over to the
Defense Department for
investigation. Obama has put
on hold Allen’s nomination to
become the next commander
of U.S. European Command
as well as the NATO supreme
allied commander in Europe
until Pentagon investigators
are able to sift through the
emails that involve Allen and
Kelley.
Gen. Martin Dempsey,
chairman of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff, said today
that he still expects Allen
to eventually take over the
European Command, but
also acknowledged, “I see
this investigation and how
long it could take affecting
that.”
A single spiteful email
unlocks a Pandora’s box
Generals scandal
WASHINGTON (AP) —
Stinging from double-digit
election losses among female
voters, House Republicans
elected a woman to their top
leadership team Wednesday in
a tense test of gender politics
and the clout of the GOP’s
power brokers.
The election of Rep.
Cathy McMorris Rodgers of
Washington state to the No.
4 leadership position among
House Republicans dispatch-
es conservative favorite Tom
Price of Georgia, who had been
endorsed by Mitt Romney’s
running mate, Rep. Paul Ryan
of Wisconsin. House Speaker
John Boehner didn’t take sides,
but McMorris Rodgers was con-
sidered the leadership favorite.
Newly elected Rep. Susan
Brooks of Indiana said it was
important to have a woman in
a top role.
“It does show our party val-
ues strong female leadership,”
Brooks said of McMorris
Rodgers’ election. She said
she expects the party now to
“try and do a better job of
getting our message out to a
broader audience.”
The race for such an
obscure post carried big sym-
bolism after women voted for
Democrats by an 11-point
margin in the presidential and
generic congressional races,
according to an exit poll by
The Associated Press and tele-
vision networks. Republicans
widely decried their party’s
domination by white males,
and Democrats declared them-
selves the party of diversity.
In the Senate, the GOP was
once thought to be poised to
gain control of the chamber
but instead lost two seats to
Democrats. In the House,
Republicans retained the
majority but lost as many as
eight seats, with some races
still uncalled. And Obama
defeated Romney 332-206 in
the Electoral College.
The lessons of the election
weighed heavily on the law-
makers returning this week to
Capitol Hill for a lame-duck,
end-of-year session. McMorris
Rodgers’ supporters had tout-
ed her conservatism and her
work as Romney’s House liai-
son. Ryan touted Price as a
proven leader and advocate of
conservative policies on bud-
get, tax and health care issues.
Vote totals were not released.
Earlier in the day, House
Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi,
D-Calif., surrounded herself
with other female lawmakers
to announce that she will run
again for leader despite her
party’s failure to gain the 25
seats it needed to flip control
of the House. The nation’s
first female speaker of the
House, Pelosi largely skipped
over that disappointment and
focused on election results
that she said made her caucus
the most diverse in history.
“The point is that if America
is going to reach its full fulfill-
ment as a nation, we must
have the further empower-
ment of women,” said Pelosi,
who put the formality of lead-
ership elections off until after
Thanksgiving.
Her motivation was closer
to home, too.
“Being actively involved
in politics at this level is
really insatiable,” Pelosi said.
“There’s so much more I want
to do, I don’t know how to get
any more hours in the day.
You can only sleep so less.”

WASHINGTON —
President Barack Obama
spoke with Israeli Prime
Mi ni st er Benj ami n
Netanyahu and Egyptian
President Mohammed Morsi
Wednesday night about rock-
et attacks being launched
from Gaza into Israel and
escalating violence in the
Gaza Strip.
The White House said
Obama reiterated U.S. sup-
port for Israel’s right to self-
defense from rocket attacks
being launched against its
civilians and urged Israel to
“make every effort to avoid
civilian casualties” in its
response.
Israel carried out a blister-
ing offensive of more than 50
airstrikes in the Gaza Strip
on Wednesday, assassinating
Hamas’ military commander
in the most intense attack on
the territory in nearly four
years.
Israel said the airstrikes,
launched in response to
days of rocket fire out of
Hamas-ruled Gaza, were the
beginning of a broader
operation against Islamic
militants. Israeli defense offi-
cials said a ground operation
was a strong possibility in
the coming days though they
stressed no decisions had
been made.
Obama and Netanyahu
have agreed that Hamas
needs to stop its attacks on
Israel to allow tensions to
ease, the White House said.
The two leaders agreed
to stay in close touch in
the coming days. Earlier
Wednesday Netanyahu also
spoke to Vice President
Joe Biden on the events in
Gaza.
Obama spoke separately
to Morsi, given Egypt’s cen-
tral role in preserving region-
al security, the White House
said. The two men agreed on
the need to de-escalate the
conflict as quickly as pos-
sible.
With at least 10 Palestinians
dead, including two young
children, Wednesday’s offen-
sive was certain to set off a
new round of heavy fight-
ing with Gaza militants, who
have built up a formidable
arsenal of rockets and mis-
siles.
It also threatened to upset
Israel’s relations with neigh-
boring Egypt and shake up
the campaign for Israeli elec-
tions in January. In a prelimi-
nary response, Egypt recalled
its ambassador to Israel in
protest.
Israel’s relations have been
deteriorating with Egypt’s
new Islamist government,
and Egypt’s lawless Sinai
desert has become a staging
ground for militant attacks
on Israel.

“We have the

archaic thought.”

Ottoville senior Abby Siefker, seated second from left, signs her national letter-of-
intent to attend Bowling Green State University and play basketball for the Lady Falcons
in 2013-14. Seated with her from left are her father and mother, Dr. Tom and Cheryl
Siefker, and her brother, Brendan Siefker; and standing, Ottoville assistant coach
Vaughn Horstman, Lady Green head coach Dave Kleman, assistant coach Deb Lindeman
and Athletic Director Mark Odenweller.

[email protected]
OTTOVILLE — Ottoville
senior Abby Siefker had
wanted to go to Bowling
Green State University to
play collegiate basketball
for decade-long head Lady
Falcon coach Curt Miller all
along.
A detour along the way
was when Miller decided to
take the head coaching job at
Indiana University after last
season was completed.
When the administration
decided to move the 11-year
assistant coach Jennifer
Roos, the last eight as associ-
ate head coach, over a seat
on the bench in April, Siefker
solidified her desire to play
for the Lady Falcons.
She made it official
Tuesday afternoon by signing
her national letter-of-intent.
“I felt so comfortable
when I was making my vis-
its. I really wanted to play for
Coach Miller and when he
decided to move, that wor-
ried me,” Siefker explained.
“When they made Coach
Roos the head coach, I was
very relieved. She was my
favorite coach when I visited.
They all — coaches, team,
the other students — made
me feel so comfortable, like
it was one big family. They
have a lot of tradition about
playing good basketball and
having some good players.
They play a lot like what
we do here at Ottoville and
I feel comfortable with that
style. Right now, they like
me playing inside and still
doing things farther from the
basket.
“Plus, I wanted to attend
a Division I school close
enough to home for my fam-
ily to come and watch me
play. That is so important
for me.”
The 1-year-old Stroh
Center also had something
to do with her decision to
pick BGSU over other Mid-
American Conference such as
Kent State, Ohio University
and Miami (University),
as well as the Division II
University of Findlay.
“When they bring in the
prospective athletes, that is
the first thing you see — this
awesome facility,” she con-
tinued. “It has such a great
atmosphere; it’s not that big
and it feels like there‘s a
lot of people there cheering
you on. That is very much
like what I experience here at
Ottoville and it reminded me
of home.”
Siefker, a 3-year letterwin-
ner entering her senior year,
comes off a 23-1 junior year
where she scored 341 points
— shooting 55.4 percent
from the floor and 71 per-
cent from the line — grabbed
276 rebounds and 27 steals,
blocked 71 shots and handed
out 46 assists. That earned
her District 8 and PCL Player
of the Year honors, as well as
first-team Northwest District
mention.
Her overall career mark
stands at 54 percent shoot-
ing from the field and 69
percent from the line, total-
ling 913 points, grabbing
774 rebounds and 99 thefts,
blocking 228 shots and hand-
ing out 86 assists.
In three seasons, she has
been part of a 65-5 mark,
accounting for two regional
appearances and three PCL
titles.
The academics were also
a major part of this equa-
tion.
“I wanted to get into the
health-care field but after
working in my Dad’s (Dr.
Tom Siefker) dental office,
I changed my mind. I plan
on going into pre-dentistry
and some kind of biology pro-
gram and eventually hope
to become an oral surgeon,”
the Lady Green senior said.
As for this season, Siefker
feels her Big Green team-
mates have some “unfinished
business.”
“We lost in the regional
semifinals last season and
feel we have a chance to go
even further this season. Our
goal is always to win the
Putnam County League and
make a long run in the tour-
nament,” she added.
That echoes the attitude of
her head coach at Ottoville,
Dave Kleman.
“Those are always our
goals: win the league and get
to state. With Abby leading
the way, we feel we can meet
those goals,” Kleman said.
“The girls have been working
really hard in the off-season
on their individual and team
skills.”
Kleman is extremely
proud of the first girls bas-
ketball player in his 22-year
career at the school to sign
to play at the Division I col-
legiate level.
“We’ve had a lot of suc-
cess over the years and this
is still the first. She is such
a dominant presence on the
court,” he added. “She is tall
and strong but she can get up
and down the floor. She is a
tough matchup for opposing
center to stay with for four
quarters with her skills. Very
few of our opponents can
play her 1-on-1; she requires
constant double- and triple-
teaming.
“I have no doubt she can
make the transition to play
more on the perimeter next
year if they bring in a 6-5
girl. We have allowed her
a lot more freedom to stray
from the basket; she won’t
be camped under the basket
offensively.”

Let’s hope this dream
becomes reality
This is, indeed a
dream in the making.
I was surfing the
Internet the other day
— it’s fun to see what’s
out there — and came
across this item.
I am sure they
won’t mind me sharing it.
It is entitled, literally, “A Dream in the Making.”
It is the story of a Hudson, New Hampshire, youth named
Zachary Tompkins.
The broke ground — after two years of red tape! — on
“Zach’s Stadium” in honor of the former honor student at the
Presentation of Mary Academy and member of the Hudson-
Litchfield Bears football team.
He had wanted to build a stadium for his team when he
grew up but, alas, he never “grew up” because he died March
10, 2010, from an undiagnosed genetic mutation called Long
QT Syndrome.
Of course, he loved football and not too many weeks
before he died, he made a ceramic plate that reads “Zach’s
Stadium – Home of the Hudson Litchfield Bears”.
Thanks to several members of the community, including
members of his family, a senator, a newspaperman, a con-
gressman and others that make up Zach’s Field Committee,
ground was broken just three weeks ago.
They are hoping to raise a million dollars as part of the
fundraising and have raised $300,000.
There is also a crowdfunding site — never heard of
that before but apparently, it’s a rising phenomena in the
business world — named www.fundageek.com/project/
detail/597/Zachary-M-Tompkins-Memorial-Fund.
His family figures it’s a fitting tribute to their son and the
field will be a reminder, a “visit” if you will, to her son.
I don’t know how common this Long QT Syndrome
is — basically, I just looked it up and it’s a disorder of the
heart’s electrical activity that can cause sudden, uncontrol-
lable and dangerous arrythmias. Now I know why I was
attracted to this story after an episode with something very
similar — though I don’t believe it was genetic — a couple
of years ago.
It seems that Davidson Day High School defeated
Harrell’s Christian 104-80 in North Carolina the other day.
It was a typical boys basketball game — except that it
wasn’t; it was a high school state playoff football game!
Davidson’s Will Grier set a national high school passing
mark of 837 yards — breaking the previous mark of 764 set
in 2000 — and 10 touchdowns.
Descriptions of the game consisted of crazy, explosive,
incredible, etc.
One that I subscribe to is ridiculous.
That isn’t football anymore. I know I’m a bit old-school
but these type of numbers are just nuts.
I like to see a bit of defense and teams having to earn
points somewhat.
By the way, Grier is being recruited by some of the big-
gies — Florida, North Carolina, Tennessee, Wake Forest,
East Carolina, Alabama, Duke, N.C. State and Oregon,
among others — and he is only a junior.
You don’t see baseball trades like this too much any-
more but the Miami Marlins have pretty much completed
their fire sale from last season by trading All-Star shortstop
Jose Reyes, left-hander Mark Buehrle and ace right-hander
Josh Johnson to the Toronto Blue Jays for a cup of coffee
and a pack of cigarettes — oops, top “prospects” — short-
stops Yunel Escobar and Adeiny Hechavarria, right-hander
Henderson Alvarez and several top minor-leaguers.
Unfortunately in trading for prospects, far too many never
get beyond that.
I am not saying that these moves won’t pan out and I
thought owner Jeffrey Loria had a hole in his head for add-
ing that type of payroll — $191 million — in the off-season
last year to coincide with the opening of the Marlins’ new
state-of-the-art — and publicly-funded — park.
My Orioles went for years relying on their farm system
and were right there every year until they tried the free-agent
route — even before Peter Angelos owned the team — and
look where it got them prior to this year.
Of course, as usual, that kind of remaking of the Marlins’
team failed miserably and the payroll purge began midway
through this last-in-the-NL-East season — Loria earlier
traded failed free-agent closer Heath Bell, NL batting cham-
pion Hanley Ramirez, Omar Infante, Anibal Sanchez and
other higher-priced players when the season spun out of
control and after.
The fans never have really followed this team, even
through two World Series titles, and thinking they were
going to by this payroll binge was dubious at best. They
anticipated 3 million fans and instead got 2.2 million for
whatever reason.
I understand that manager Ozzie Guillen didn’t help mat-
ters by being quoted as praising Cuban dictator Fidel Castro
— in an area of many Cuban exiles because of Fidel — but
for them to think that all of a sudden, baseball was going to
be a hot ticket in Miami was a stretch — more like a leap of
faith.
The Marlins are going back to their more thrifty ways of
old and maybe this trade will rebuild their farm system — to
me, even in this day and age of “quick-fix” free-agency, that
is the way to go to build long-lasting success.
The fans have already weighed in and found Mr. Loria
wanting. They are referring to the team as Triple A, among
others.
The payroll is expected to be $34 million next year.
I am one that thinks that there does need to be some fiscal
sanity brought back to baseball but you also do need to pay
for productive players.
Who knows? Maybe in the near future, I will have to
apologize to the Marlins for making a very smart — and
easier on the wallet — trade.
Think they are waiting with baited breath?

NBA GLANCE
By BETH HARRIS
The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — In
their toughest test yet of this
young NBA season, the Los
Angeles Clippers measured
themselves against the Miami
Heat and liked how they
stacked up.
Blake Griffin and
Chris Paul had double-
doubles, with Paul key-
ing a third-quarter spurt
that helped carry the
Clippers to a 107-100
victory on Wednesday
night. They have wins
over Memphis, the
Lakers, San Antonio
and now the defend-
ing NBA champions in
their first eight games.
“These wins are good but
we’re playing at home and
we expect to win,” Clippers
coach Vinny Del Negro said.
Griffin had 20 points and
14 rebounds and Paul had 16
points and 10 assists to lead
five players in double figures
in the Clippers’ fourth straight
win. Jamal Crawford added
22 points off the bench.
“We can even be better,”
Griffin said. “We can’t rest on
a win like that.”
Obviously Griffin has been
listening to Paul, who cautions
an even-keeled approach.
LeBron James scored
30 points for the defending
NBA champions, who lost
their fifth in a row against
the Clippers in Los Angeles.
Ray Allen added 14 points,
including four 3-pointers, as
the Heat dropped to 2-2 on
their current 6-game trip.
“Tonight was not a good
game for us,” Dwyane Wade
said. “We have some good
moments but we have to put
a full game together on the
road. The important thing
right now is to figure out how
we can get better.”
Wade was held to six
points — well below his 18.4-
point average — playing with
a sprained left foot that kept
him out of the morning shoot-
around.
The Clippers were cling-
ing to a 72-70 lead in the third
when Paul switched from dis-
tributor to scorer, running off
13 straight points and extend-
ing their lead to 85-74 going
into the fourth. The Clippers
hit five 3-pointers in building
the game’s first double-digit
lead after neither team led by
more than six points in the
first half.
Wade was called for a
technical after tangling with
Ryan Hollins and then he
missed a jumper over Hollins
on Miami’s last shot of
the third.
The Clippers’
roll continued into
the fourth, with Eric
Bledsoe scoring their
first eight points for
a 93-76 lead. Griffin
and Paul were on the
bench, giving the sec-
ond unit its chance to
dominate the offense
against Miami’s start-
ers. Bledsoe finished
with 12 points and Caron
Butler had 15.
Griffin and Paul returned
after Miami cut its deficit to
104-93 with 3:47 remaining.
But it was only for insurance
as the Heat failed to make
a serious run in the closing
minutes.
“The road just gets tough-
er,” Heat coach Erik Spoelstra
said. “That’s a good team. We
view them as legit competi-
tors for the title.”’
Miami led 54-52 at half-
time. James wasted no time
asserting himself with a driv-
ing dunk 12 seconds into the
game. The Clippers answered
with eight straight points, the
biggest run either team man-
aged in the half.
NOTES: Both teams had 19 turn-
overs. ... Wade hurt his foot in the third
quarter of Monday’s game at Houston
when he stepped on teammate Chris
Bosh. Against the Clippers, Wade
stumbled out of bounds in the fourth
quarter and went down after get-
ting caught on one of the referees.
... Crawford has 164 points off the
bench, making him the highest scor-
ing reserve in the league this season.
... The Heat are 13-12 on the road
all-time against the Clippers. ... The
teams meet once more this season
in Miami.
GRIZZLIES 107, THUNDER 97
OKLAHOMA CITY — Rudy Gay
scored a season-high 28 points,
Zach Randolph added 20 points and
11 rebounds before getting ejected
along with Oklahoma City’s Kendrick
Perkins during a late-game alterca-
tion and the Memphis Grizzlies beat
the Thunder 107-97.
Marc Gasol chipped in 14 points
as the Grizzlies continued the best
start in franchise history by winning
their sixth straight game. They took
control by outscoring Oklahoma City
by 21 in the second quarter.
Kevin Durant scored a season-
high 34 points and Russell Westbrook
had 17 points and 13 assists as
both Oklahoma City All-Stars logged
more than 42 minutes for the second
straight game while trying to lead a
fourth-quarter comeback.
This time it fell short as the
Thunder had their 5-game winning
streak snapped.
BULLS 112, SUNS 106, OT
PHOENIX — Carlos Boozer had
28 points and 14 rebounds to help
Chicago outlast Phoenix in overtime.
Boozer, who scored 31 against
the Suns in the previous meeting last
season, was a force at power for-
ward again. He made 11-of-20 shots
and had his way inside as the Bulls
scored 50 points in the paint. Luol
Deng added 21 points and center
Joakim Noah had 21 points and 12
rebounds.
Chicago scored six points on put-
backs in a 10-0 run that gave the
Bulls a 79-61 lead in the third quar-
ter. But the Suns fought back in the
fourth by being active on the offen-
sive boards. Luis Scola had 24 points
and 14 rebounds, while Sebastian
Telfair scored 17 off the bench.
CELTICS 98, JAZZ 93
BOSTON — Paul Pierce hit two
free throws with 19.5 seconds left and
finished with 23 points, lifting Boston
over Utah.
Jeff Green and Leandro Barbosa
each scored 16 points for the Celtics,
who won for the fifth time in six
games. Kevin Garnett added 11
points and eight rebounds.
Boston guard Rajon Rondo had
10 assists before leaving the game for
good in the third quarter with a right
ankle injury. It was his 32nd straight
game with 10 or more assists.
Paul Millsap led the Jazz with 20
points and 12 boards. Al Jefferson
had 13 points and 14 rebounds. Mo
Williams missed three shots in the
closing minute for Utah, which fell to
1-5 on the road. The Jazz won in tri-
ple-overtime in Toronto on Monday.
The Celtics grabbed a 94-93
edge when Garnett hit the second of
two free throws with 1:08 left.
PISTONS 94, 76ERS 76
PHILADELPHIA — Greg
Monroe had 19 points, 18 rebounds
and six assists to help Detroit beat
Philadelphia for its first win of the
season.
Kyle Singler scored 16 points and
Tayshaun Prince and Brandon Knight
each had 15 for a Detroit team off to
the worst start in franchise history.
Playing their seventh road game this
season, the Pistons (1-8) controlled
the lethargic Sixers from the opening
tip. The Sixers easily played their
worst game of the season, making
only 25-of-84 shots for 30 percent.
Lavoy Allen led them with 14 points.
Four Pistons starters scored
in double digits and forward Jason
Maxiell had 12 rebounds.
ROCKETS 100, HORNETS 96
HOUSTON — James Harden
scored 30 points and Omer Asik
added 15 points and 12 rebounds as
Houston held off New Orleans.
Harden went 10-for-20 from the
field but only 1-of-7 from 3-point
range. He reached 30 points for the
third time in seven games with the
Rockets.
Greivis Vasquez scored a career-
high 24 for the Hornets, despite hurt-
ing his left ankle in the third quarter
and briefly leaving the game. Anthony
Davis had only eight points on 2-for-7
shooting.
The Rockets built a 21-point lead
in the first half. Chandler Parsons
sank a pivotal 3-pointer and fade-
away jumper late to help Houston
win for the second time in five home
games.
MAVERICKS 107, WIZARDS
101
DALLAS — Chris Kaman had
23 points and eight rebounds
in his second start for the Dallas
Mavericks, who held on to beat win-
less Washington.
O.J. Mayo scored 25 as the
Mavericks snapped a 3-game los-
ing streak since Kaman’s only other
start.
Washington (0-7) trailed by as
many as 22 points before a 15-0 run
in the fourth quarter. Cartier Martin
capped that spurt with consecutive
3-pointers to pull the Wizards to
88-85. Kaman hit a short hook on the
next Mavs possession.
Martin made another 3 in the clos-
ing seconds but Kaman had another
strong inside move and made the
free throw.
BOBCATS 89, TIMBERWOLVES
87
MINNEAPOLIS — Kemba
Walker’s jumper with 0.7 seconds
left lifted Charlotte over depleted
Minnesota.
Walker finished with 22 points,
five assists and four rebounds; his
19-footer over the outstretched arm
of Alexey Shved helped the Bobcats
to their first 3-game winning streak
since March 2011.
Byron Mullens had 12 points and
15 rebounds and Ramon Sessions
scored 18 for Charlotte.
Andrei Kirilenko had 26 points and
12 rebounds for the Timberwolves,
who used a 16-2 run to tie the game
with 12.3 seconds left. The Wolves
were without six of their top seven
players: Kevin Love (broken right
hand), Ricky Rubio (left knee), Chase
Budinger (left knee), Nikola Pekovic
(left ankle), JJ Barea (left foot) and
Brandon Roy (right knee).
BUCKS 99, PACERS 85
MILWAUKEE — Brandon
Jennings and Monta Ellis scored
16 points apiece to help Milwaukee
cruise past struggling Indiana.
Beno Udrih had nine points, 10
assists and six rebounds for the
Bucks, who shot 42 percent from the
field and improved to 2-2 at home.
Tyler Hansbrough scored 17
points for the Pacers. Indiana, which
shot 38 percent, lost its fifth straight
on the road after a season-opening
win at Toronto.
The Bucks scored the first seven
points of the game and led through-
out. Their lead was as high as 27 in
the second quarter and 32 early in the
third before they played their reserves
throughout the fourth.
WARRIORS 92, HAWKS 88
OAKLAND, Calif. — Rookie for-
ward Harrison Barnes scored 19
points and grabbed 13 rebounds,
making a pair of critical free throws in
the final minute to help Golden State
hold off short-handed Atlanta.
David Lee added 18 points and 10
rebounds and Stephen Curry scored
12 to put the Warriors ahead by 13
points early in the fourth quarter. The
Hawks hacked that lead to two but
Barnes and Jarrett Jack each made
a pair of free throws to seal Golden
State’s victory.
Lou Williams scored 18 points,
including three straight 3-pointers
that whittled the Warriors’ lead to a
basket with 11.2 seconds remain-
ing. Josh Smith added 16 points
and 10 rebounds for Atlanta, which
had Al Horford and Devin Harris out
because of a stomach illness.

Close of business November 14, 2012
By MIKE FITZPATRICK
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — R.A.
Dickey languished in the
minors for 14 years, bounc-
ing from one team to another
before finally perfecting that
perplexing knuckleball that
made him a major-league
star.
David Price was the top
pick in the draft and an ace by
age 25, throwing 98-mph heat
with a left arm live enough to
make the most hardened scout
sing.
Raised only 34
miles apart in cen-
tral Tennessee,
Dickey and Price
won baseball’s Cy
Young awards on
Wednesday — one
by a wide margin,
the other in a tight
vote.
Two paths to the
pantheon of pitching
have rarely been more dif-
ferent.
“Isn’t that awesome?”
asked Dickey, the first knuck-
leballer to win a Cy Young. “It
just shows you there’s not just
one way to do it and it gives
hope to a lot of people.”
Dickey said he jumped
up and yelled in excitement,
scaring one of his kids, when
he saw on television that
Price edged Justin Verlander
for the American League
prize. Both winners are repre-
sented by Bo McKinnis, who
watched the announcements
with Dickey at his home in
Nashville, Tenn.
“I guess we can call him
Cy agent now,” Price quipped
on a conference call.
The hard-throwing lefty
barely beat out Verlander
in balloting by the Baseball
Writers’ Association of
America, preventing the
Detroit Tigers’ ace from win-
ning consecutive Cy Youngs.
Runner-up two years ago,
Price was the pick this time.
He received 14 out of 28
first-place votes and finished
with 153 points to 149 for
Verlander, chosen first on 13
ballots.
“It means a lot,” Price
said. “It’s something that I’ll
always have. It’s something
that they can’t take away
from me.”
Other than a 1969 tie
between Mike Cuellar and
Denny McLain, it was the
closest race in the history of
the AL award.
Rays closer Fernando
Rodney got the other first-
place vote and came in fifth.
The 38-year-old Dickey
was listed first on 27 of the 32
National League ballots and
totaled 209 points, 113 more
than 2011 winner Clayton
Kershaw of the Los Angeles
Dodgers. Washington lefty
Gio Gonzalez finished third.
Cincinnati right-hand-
er Johnny Cueto
and Atlanta closer
Craig Kimbrel each
received a first-place
vote, as did Gonzalez.
Kershaw had two.
Dickey joined
Dwight Gooden
(1985) and 3-time
winner Tom Seaver as
the only Mets to win
the award. The right-
hander went 20-6 with
a 2.73 ERA, making him the
club’s first 20-game winner
since Frank Viola in 1990,
and became the first major-
leaguer in 24 years to throw
consecutive one-hitters.
Perhaps most impressive,
Dickey did it all during a
season when the fourth-place
Mets finished 74-88.
Dickey switched from con-
ventional pitcher to full-time
knuckleballer in a last-ditch
effort to save his career. It
took him years to finally mas-
ter the floating, darting pitch,
which he often throws harder
(around 80 mph) and with
more precision than almost
anyone who used it before
him.
“It just feels good all over,”
he said on MLB Network. “I
knew what I was going to be
up against in some regard
when I embraced this pitch.”
He was the first cut at
Mets spring training in 2010
but earned a spot in the big-
league rotation later that
season and blossomed into a
dominant All-Star this year.
He led the NL in strikeouts
(230), innings (233 2-3),
complete games (five) and
shutouts (three) — pitching
through an abdominal injury
most of the way.
A member of the 1996
U.S. Olympic team and
a first-round draft pick out
of Tennessee, Dickey was
devastated when the Texas
Rangers reduced their sign-
ing-bonus offer from more
than $800,000 to $75,000
after they discovered during a
physical that he was missing a
major ligament in his pitching
elbow.
Undeterred, perseverance
got him to the big leagues
anyway. When he failed,
the knuckleball brought him
back.
Among those he thanked
ceaselessly for helping him on
that long and winding road to
success were all his
proud knuckleball
mentors, includ-
ing Charlie Hough,
Tim Wakefield and
Hall-of-Famer Phil
Niekro, a 318-game
winner from 1964-
87.
Dickey has one
year left on his
contract at $5.25
million and New
York general manager Sandy
Alderson has said signing the
pitcher to a multi-year deal
is one of his top offseason
priorities. Alderson, however,
would not rule out trading his
unlikely ace.
Price went 20-5 to tie Jered
Weaver for the American
League lead in victories and
winning percentage. The
27-year-old lefty had the low-
est ERA at 2.56 and finished
sixth in strikeouts with 205.
Verlander, also the league
MVP a year ago, followed that
up by going 17-8 with a 2.64
ERA and pitching the Detroit
Tigers to the World Series. He
led the majors in strikeouts
(239), innings (238 1-3) and
complete games (six).
Price tossed 211 innings
in 31 starts, while Verlander
made 33. One factor that could
have swung some votes, how-
ever, was this: Price faced
stiffer competition in the rug-
ged AL East than Verlander
did in the AL Central.
“I guess it’s a blessing and
a curse at the same time,”
Price added. “There’s not an
easy out in the lineups every
game. It feels like a postsea-
son game.”
The No. 1 pick in the
2007 amateur draft out of
Vanderbilt, Price reached the
majors the following year and
has made three straight All-
Star teams.
Despite going 19-6 with a
2.72 ERA in 2010, he finished
a distant second in Cy Young
voting to Felix Hernandez,
who won only 13 games for
last-place Seattle but domi-
nated most other statistical
categories that year.
The two MVP awards
will be announced Thursday.
Verlander’s teammate,
Triple Crown winner Miguel
Cabrera, is a leading contend-
er in the American League.
NOTES: The last AL pitcher to win
back-to-back Cy Youngs was Boston’s
Pedro Martinez in 1999 and
2000. San Francisco RHP
Tim Lincecum did it in the
National League in 2008-09.
... Price and Dickey became
the fourth pair of Cy Young
winners born in the same
state, according to STATS.
The others were Jim Lonborg
and Mike McCormick in 1967
(California), Viola and Orel
Hershiser in 1988 (New York)
and Pat Hentgen and John
Smoltz in 1996 (Michigan). ...
Niekro and his brother, Joe,
both finished second in Cy
Young voting, as did fellow
knuckleballer Wilbur Wood.
Baseball owners quiet on first
day of meetings
CHICAGO — While the Miami
Marlins and Toronto Blue Jays worked
on a blockbuster trade with far-reach-
ing implications, major-league owners
and executives descended on Chicago
Wednesday for two days of meetings.
The deal was the talk of the base-
ball world. But the game’s power bro-
kers didn’t seem too interested in talk-
ing about the trade in public, perhaps
waiting to see its full scope.
Marlins’ owner Jeffrey Loria went
on a spending spree last winter, hand-
ing out lucrative free-agent deals to
All-Star shortstop Jose Reyes, left-
hander Mark Buehrle and closer Heath
Bell. The Marlins thought they would
contend for the NL East title and draw
3 million fans in the first year of their
publicly financed ballpark.
But they flopped, finishing last in
the division. Bell was traded to Arizona
in October, with the Marlins agreeing
to pay $8 million of the remaining
$21 million owed to the reliever. Now
Reyes, Buehrle and Josh Johnson —
probably Miami’s best pitcher when
healthy — are headed to Toronto for a
package of top prospects.
The deal is pending physicals for
the players and Miami could be send-
ing money to Toronto in the trade —
something that likely caught the atten-
tion of the owners at the meetings.
Commissioner Bud Selig said
Wednesday that no deal has been
submitted to him for approval but oth-
erwise declined to address the poten-
tial trade. He is expected to talk at the
conclusion of the meetings today.
Selig and the owners shuffled in
and out of rooms all day but no one
seemed interested in talking about the
topics discussed at the meetings.
Oakland is interested in building
a new ballpark in San Jose but that
area is considered part of the San
Francisco Giants’ territory. Selig added
at the World Series he is working on
the issue and A’s managing partner
Lew Wolff refused to talk about the
situation on Wednesday.
The owners are expected to hear
about expanding the use of instant
replay to fair-foul calls and trap plays
on potential catches and more. But it
was unclear if that topic was addressed
on the first day of the meetings.

COLUMBUS — What’s brewing
with the 2012 Ohio State Buckeyes
...
BUCKEYES BUZZ: Urban
Meyer was taken aback this week.
That’s not easy to do.
On the Big Ten coaches telecon-
ference Meyer was asked if, should
Ohio State finish 12-0, it should be
considered the national champion.
“Oh, no disrespect, sorry,” he
began, sounding flustered.
Then he regained his equilibrium
and responded, “I haven’t given it
any thought and we’re not going to
have any discussion about that with
our players. We are who we are right
now. The good thing about the play-
ers and the guys that are important
to me — and that’s the kids I coach
— they know who we are. We have
a lot of holes that we’re still trying to
patch and put together and become
a better team. At some point that
might be worth discussion, certainly
not now.”
FRIENDLY CONFINES: The
battle with Ohio State (3:30 p.m.
Saturday, ABC) at Camp Randall
Stadium will be Wisconsin’s final
home game of the season.
A lot of people will be watching
and not just because the game pits
the sixth-ranked Buckeyes, trying to
finish unbeaten, against a team they
clearly don’t like which will be repre-
senting the Leaders Division in the
Big Ten championship game.
Wisconsin RB Montee Ball needs
just two touchdowns to become the
all-time leader in major college foot-
ball.
Ball has 77 career touchdowns,
one fewer than FBS record-holder
Travis Prentice of Miami (Ohio).
“It’s going to be extra special to
do it at home — if it happens,” he
said. “It’d be ideal to break a record
like that on home turf, in front of our
fans.”
But coach Bret Bielema isn’t as
concerned with pleasing the home
fans with the record as he is with
winning the game, adding he won’t
change his game plan or gimmick
up a play so Ball can set the mark in
front of friends and family.
“If he breaks it, it’s going to be
in the constant flow of the game,”
he added.
SERIOUS BUSINESS: Ohio
State C Corey Linsley says the
Buckeyes will not be looking past
Wisconsin to the game a week later
at home against rival Michigan.
“They’re all tough dudes that we
all respect. Nobody’s taking them
lightly at all,” he said of the Badgers.
“Definitely we respect the heck out
of their front seven. We’re going to
have to prepare for a tough football
game.”
SCRUBS TO STARTERS:
Nobody from Ohio State is nominat-
ed — although five Big Ten players
are — for the Burlsworth Trophy.
Haven’t heard of it? You’re not
alone, even though this is the third
year for its existence.
It’s given annually to the most
outstanding football player in
America who began his career as
a walk-on. A walk-on is defined as a
player who began his first season of
participation with a Division I (FBS)
football program without financial aid
of any kind from his university’s ath-
letic department.
Among the 50 nominees this
season are Ohio University LB Keith
Moore.
Others up for the award include
a player the Buckeyes will face
this weekend, standout Wisconsin
WR Jared Abbrederis, along with
Penn State QB Matt McGloin and
Michigan’s Jordan Kovacs, a Toledo-
area native.
Ohio State’s Nate Ebner was a
nominee a year ago.
The award is named after
Brandon Burlsworth, who arrived at
Arkansas in 1994 with “no money,
no famous last name and absolutely
no Division I scholarship offers.”
Through hard work, he became a
team captain and a first-team All-
SEC player.
Burlsworth was drafted by the
Indianapolis Colts with the 63rd pick
in the 1999 draft and was projected
to start as a rookie after mini-camp
But Burlsworth was killed in a head-
on collision just 11 days after the
draft.

N. Illinois 31, Toledo 24
DE KALB, Ill. — Jordan Lynch
threw for 407 yards and three
touchdowns Wednesday night and
Northern Illinois defeated Toledo
31-24 to claim a spot in the Mid-
American Conference championship
game.
Lynch also ran for 162 yards
for the Huskies (10-1, 7-0), who
extended the longest home winning
streak in Division I to 21 games. The
defending MAC champions won their
10th straight game and wrapped up
the West Division title to advance to
the conference championship Nov.
30 in Detroit.
Toledo (8-3, 5-2) led 14-7 at
halftime but 18 seconds into the
third quarter, Lynch hooked up with
Martel Moore for a 74-yard touch-
down pass, their second scoring
connection of the game. NIU went
ahead 21-14 on Lynch’s 6-yard TD
pass to Ashford Perez.
The Rockets trailed 31-14 but got
within seven points after Jeremiah
Detmer’s 34-yard field goal with 5:57
left. The Huskies picked up three first
downs and ran out the clock.
Moore had 153 yards receiving
for NIU. Terrance Owens threw for
265 yards and ran for a score for
Toledo.
Ball State 52, Ohio 27
MUNCIE, Ind. — Jahwan
Edwards ran for 169 yards and a
touchdown on 17 carries, Zane Fakes
had a 13-yard touchdown catch with
8:14 to play to give Ball State a
3-score lead and the Cardinals beat
Ohio 52-27 on Wednesday night.
Horactio Banks added 135 yards
rushing and a score on 14 car-
ries for the Cardinals (8-3, 5-2 Mid-
American) and Fakes finished with
seven catches for 58 yards and two
touchdowns, the most important in
the fourth quarter to give Ball State
a 45-27 lead. Ohio (8-3, 4-3) has
lost three of its last four games after
opening 7-0.
Beau Blankenship led Ohio, run-
ning for 161 yards and three TDs on
21 carries.
Meyer not even considering national-title talk

Horoscope
By Bernice Bede Osol
Woman’s ex
had troubled soul
Dear Annie: Last May,
my children’s father com-
mitted suicide. He and
I had split up two years
before because of his vio-
lent ways. Despite my mar-
rying another man, I still
cared for my ex and wor-
ried about his welfare. I
would even sneak him food
and pay his electric bill
behind my husband’s back.
My husband occasionally
would forbid my kids and
me from having contact
with my ex. He
had a point.
My ex and I
had attempted to
reconcile in April,
but I couldn’t
do it. During the
drive back to
my husband, my
ex phoned and
begged me to
return. I told him
I was afraid of
him. He yelled,
“Nobody will
ever have to worry about
me anymore.” Twenty min-
utes later, I received a call
from his brother, who found
him dead.
I blame myself. His fam-
ily does, too. I didn’t even
go to his funeral, because
some of his family mem-
bers had threatened to kill
me if I showed up. I feel
terrible for my kids and
don’t know how to cope.
What should I do? Will my
kids be OK? — Distraught
Ex
Dear Distraught: We
are so sorry that you are
experiencing this tragedy,
but please know that you
are not responsible for
your ex’s decision to end
his life. He sounds like a
troubled soul who didn’t
believe he had any other
way out. Please contact
Survivors of Suicide (survi-
vorsofsuicide.com) and the
American Foundation for
Suicide Prevention (afsp.
org) to find a support group
for you and your children.
They will be OK, but they
could use some help, and
they will need you to guide
them.
Dear Annie: I am a
56-year-old professional
man in nonprofit work. I
am outgoing and reason-
ably intelligent, have a
great sense of humor and
generally like people. My
observation and experience
is that most men, especially
over 40, have a difficult
time making new friends.
The married ones tend to
rely on their wives. Others
rely on family or long-term
friendships. But men like
me who don’t have wives,
whose parents have died,
who have no siblings or
children, and whose old
friends have moved away
find it awkward and diffi-
cult to reach out.
My trainer is 45, outgo-
ing, happily married with
two great children, has both
sets of parents still alive, is
active in church, etc., and
even he says he doesn’t
know how to make new
friends. I realize there is no
one-answer-fits-all, but I’d
sure like to know what you
and your readers suggest
for those of us who are try-
ing to get out of the house,
but don’t know where to
go. — Not Anti-Social or
Addicted to the Internet
Dear Not: Find an activ-
ity that you enjoy and that
involves other
people. Look for
community theater
or choral groups.
Volunteer at hos-
pitals, schools,
animal shelters,
soup kitchens or
for a political can-
didate. Park dis-
tricts and local
colleges may offer
night classes for
those who want to
improve their edu-
cation. See whether your
health club has a regular
spin class or an adult bas-
ketball team. If you can
afford to travel, sign up
for a group tour. We also
recommend meetup.com,
which facilitates finding
people with similar inter-
ests of any kind. If our
readers have more to add,
we’re happy to print addi-
tional suggestions.
Dear Annie: I read the
letter from “Frustrated in
the Midwest,” who is con-
flicted about his fiancee’s
four kids and their lack
of responsibility around
the house. I’d tell him not
to consider marrying that
woman until her children
are grown.
I married a man who
had custody of two spoiled
brats. He and I got along
wonderfully, but with his
two teenage kids in the mix,
it was pure torture. The best
day of my life was when the
oldest left and the youngest
moved to her mother’s. —

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 2012
In your desire to improve you
financial position in the year ahead,
you might be inclined to take a
number of gambles. Even though
most of them will not live up to your
expectations, there is a chance that
one might deliver and then some.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) --
Although you might be the recipient
of an interesting proposal, in order to
take advantage of it, you might have
to disengage yourself from a previous
commitment.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec.
21) -- Even though your compassionate
nature urges you to make a loan to a
friend who is a poor prospect, it would
be better for you to follow your less
generous, more pragmatic instincts.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
-- Try not to get impatient with some
friends who are not living up to your
expectations. Things will get better
eventually, so bite the bullet and hang
on until they do.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19)
-- You could find yourself in a ticklish
position where you’ll be eager to
reveal something that was told to
you in strict confidence. Others will
respect you more if you keep your
trap shut.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) --
If you want to do something that is
a trifle expensive and you have the
money to do it, that’s well and good.
Just don’t borrow what you don’t have
to bankroll your fun.
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
-- Although you’ll expect others to
live up to their words, you might not
feel the necessity for you to do the
same. Life should be a give-and-take
situation, not a lopsided arrangement.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
-- It is more important than usual
to keep pace with your duties and
responsibilities. If you should fall
behind, you’ll quickly discover how
extremely difficult it is to catch up.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
-- The very people you don’t count
on will be the ones who are likely to
step forward and support you in your
endeavors. Those upon whom you
usually rely might not lift a finger.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- It
isn’t advisable for you to seek advice
from too many different people.
Unfortunately, all that might do is
make it difficult to discern the good
counsel from the bad.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- If you
are hawking something that requires
a sales pitch, it’s imperative that you
know when to call a halt to your
presentation. There’s a possibility that
you could talk yourself out of a deal.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) --
Don’t ignore your better judgment and
common sense when you are trying to
make a bargain. If you pay more for
something than you should, it’s apt to
be your, not the salesperson’s, fault.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Your
financial aspects are exceptionally
good, making it a juicy time to do
something profitable, even if you
unconsciously strew your path with
unnecessary obstacles.
