Museum names stamp contest winners
Central
banks
ease
market
strains
By DAVID McHUGH
The Associate Press
FRANKFURT, Germany
Major central banks around
the globe took coordinated
action today to ease the strains
on the worlds financial sys-
tem, saying they would make
it easier for banks to get dol-
lars if they need them. Stock
markets and the euro rose
sharply on the move.
The European Central
Bank, U.S. Federal Reserve,
the Bank of England and
the central banks of Canada,
Japan and Switzerland are all
taking part.
As Europes debt crisis has
spread, the global financial
system is showing signs of
entering another credit crunch
like the one that followed the
2008 collapse of U.S. invest-
ment bank Lehman Brothers.
The possibility that one or
more European governments
might default have raised fears
of a shock to the global finan-
cial system that would lead to
severe losses for banks, reces-
sions in the United States and
Europe, and a stranglehold on
lending.
The purpose of these
actions is to ease strains in
financial markets and thereby
mitigate the effects of such
strains on the supply of credit
to households and businesses
and so help foster economic
activity, the banks said in a
joint statement.
The central banks agreed
to reduce the cost of tempo-
rary dollar loans they offer
to banks called liquidity
swaps by a half percentage
point. The new, lower rate
will be applied to all central
bank operations starting on
Monday.
Non-U.S. banks need dol-
lars to fund their U.S. opera-
tions and to make dollar loans
to companies that need the
U.S. currency. The dollar is
the worlds leading currency
for central bank reserves and
is widely used in international
trade.
Obviously, these moves
are designed to increase the
flow of dollar liquidity to
European banks, which are
struggling to attract short-
term funding because of ques-
tions about their exposure to
potential losses on holdings of
European sovereign bonds,
said Paul Ashworth, chief
U.S. economist at Capital
Economics.

Provisional numbers released
Monday by the Ohio State
Highway Patrol show fewer
motorists were killed on Ohios
roadways this Thanksgiving
Holiday. During the report-
ing period, which began at
12 a.m. Wednesday and ran
through 11:59 p.m. Sunday,
14 people were killed on
Ohios roadways. This is a
decrease from the past two
years when 18 people lost their
lives in 2010 and 20 died in
2009. Additionally, this years
reporting period was longer
as it included the entire day
before Thanksgiving while
last years reporting began at
6 p.m. Wednesday.
Impaired driving arrests
increased more than 14 percent
and drug arrests were up more
than 37 percent when compared
to last years holiday. One inci-
dent that resulted in the seizure
of an estimated $800,000 in
cash began as a traffic stop on
Thanksgiving Day on Interstate
70 in Preble County. Due to the
unusual circumstances discov-
ered during the initial traffic
stop, troopers worked alongside
DEA agents in an investigation
that uncovered the cash in a
motorhome. The investigation
is currently ongoing.
We are encouraged by
the reduction of fatalities and
the increase in the arrests of
criminals using our highways
to carry out their crimes, said
Colonel John Born, patrol
superintendent. I hope that the
success of this holiday week-
end will continue throughout
the remainder of the year.
A complete statistical anal-
ysis of the Patrols enforce-
ment activity over the holiday
weekend and a photo of the
seized cash are available at

Police say officers inter-
viewed the family and kids, and
instructed the youngsters on the
proper use of emergency ser-

Battelle identifies
solutions for Grand
Lake St. Marys
COLUMBUS Ohio-
Battelle, the worlds largest
independent research and
development organization
and home of some of the
worlds foremost environ-
mental remediation experts,
has identified about 10
solutions for mitigating the
harmful blooms of algae
and toxic cyanobacteria
in Grand Lake St. Marys
(GLSM) from a group of
about 75 ideas. While none
of these proposals provided
a complete answer to solve
the problems at the lake,
Battelle is recommending
further evaluation of these
identified solutions.
The Battelle report sum-
marizes the environmental
support services provided by
Battelle under a contract with
the Western Ohio Educational
Foundation (WOEF) funded
by grants from the Grand
Lake St. Marys Restoration
Commission (GLSMRC)
and the Ohio Department of
Natural Resources (ODNR).
The WOEF is located at the
Wright State University, Lake
Campus, which also provided
research support.
Under this contract,
Battelle completed three
tasks:
Task 1: Perform
Suitability Evaluations for
Lake Restoration Proposals
Task 2: Provide Status/
Feedback to GLSMRC and
Stakeholder Groups
Task 3: Assess/Site
Aeration Technologies in
Select GLSM Sheltered
Areas
Under Task 1, Battelle
reviewed more than 70 ven-
dor-proposed solutions for
the states largest inland lake.
Battelle worked closely with
GLSMRC and ODNR to
design a systematic screening
process to rank these pro-
posals. Four configurations
emerged that reflect distinct
lake improvement strategies
arising from the vendor-pro-
posed solutions:
Reduction of external
phosphorus loading by source
reduction or treatment, includ-
ing treatment of tributaries
Reduction of internal
loading by removal or inac-
tivation of phosphorus inven-
tory in lake sediments
Aeration/circulation
Algaecidal agents
Battelles analysis of the
proposed technical solutions
provides a comprehensive
guideline for addressing the
environmental problems at
Grand Lake St. Marys, said
Marty Toomajian, President
of Battelles Energy,
Environment and Material
Sciences Global Business.
We appreciate this opportu-
nity to be a trusted technical
resource for Ohio.
Thomas Knapke, WOEF
Development Officer, said,
Battelle worked closely with
GLSM stakeholders to reach
consensus on the preferred
criteria to classify and rank
proposed solutions. This exer-
cise identified highest priority
solutions and allowed us to
start working with selected
vendors for follow-up anal-
ysis and demonstrations of
their proposed solutions in
both the lake and its sur-
rounding watershed.
Task 2 provided a summa-
ry of various perspectives on
the environmental issues and
contributing factors stressing
GLSM. Conceptual models
were used to describe the eco-
system functions of the lake.
This task provided a frame-
work to support the assess-
ment of the proposed vendor
solutions. Task 3 reviewed
various options and made
specific recommendations for
aerating closed areas of the
lake.
Fall turkey season concludes with 1,375 birds bagged
COLUMBUS Ohios
fall wild turkey season
ended November 27 with
hunters bagging 1,375 dur-
ing the seven-week season.
Ashtabula County led the
state with 67 birds taken,
according to the Ohio
Department of Natural
Resources (ODNR),
Division of Wildlife. Last
years harvest total was
1,425.
The 2011 fall turkey
season ran from October 8
through November 27 allow-
ing hunters to pursue a wild
turkey of either sex using
a shotgun, muzzleloading
shotgun, bow or crossbow
in 48 counties in the state.
Prior to the start of this
falls hunting season, Ohios
estimated wild turkey popu-
lation was around 180,000.
As many as 15,000 people,
not counting private land-
owners hunting on their own
property, enjoyed Ohios
fall wild turkey season.
The top 10 coun-
ties for fall turkey har-
vest were: Ashtabula-67,
Knox-55, Guernsey and
Tuscarawas-53, Noble-50,
Monroe-45, Coshocton-44,
Holmes-42, Licking-40, and
Carroll and Richland-39.

WASHINGTON (AP)
Nonmilitary government
agencies own or lease thou-
sands of aircraft, but they are
often on their own when it
comes to safety oversight of
their operations a situation
that accident investigators say
has contributed to air crashes
and deaths.
Federal, state and local
agencies own or lease more
than 2,400 nonmilitary planes
and helicopters for fighting
forest fires, chasing crooks,
conducting scientific research
and other tasks. By compari-
son, the worlds largest airline
created by the merger of
United and Continental and
its regional carriers operate
fewer than 1,300 planes.
But unlike commercial air-
lines, government agencies are
mostly left to police the safety
of their flight operations them-
selves. The Federal Aviation
Administration has long said
it doesnt have the authority
to apply regulations to govern-
ment agencies as long as their
aircraft are engaged in public
missions like firefighting or
law enforcement. The FAA
also doesnt regulate the air-
worthiness or maintenance of
military surplus aircraft in use
by government agencies.
From 2000 through the
first eight months of this year,
the National Transportation
Safety Board investigated at
least 349 accidents, resulting
in 135 deaths, involving air-
craft owned by or operated
under contract for government
agencies. Problems uncovered
in some of those accidents
have prompted the board to
host a forum beginning today
aimed at getting the FAA and
other government officials to
discuss ways to address the
issue.
The issue for us is who is
responsible (for safety). We
have cases now where we ask
that question and no one seems
to know, said Tom Haueter,
director of NTSBs office of
aviation safety.

WASHINGTON The
Obama administration scram-
bled diplomatically Tuesday
to repair the damage caused by
a NATO air assault that killed
24 Pakistani soldiers, hoping
Pakistan wont play spoiler
in the U.S.-backed plan to
shore up Afghanistans secu-
rity and bring international
forces home.
Senior State and Defense
Department officials were
reaching out to their coun-
terparts in Islamabad, while
the first battlefield accounts
suggested that NATO and
Pakistani forces may have
attacked one another in a trag-
ic case of mistaken identity,
with each believing the other
was Taliban.
A U.S. investigation was
under way into the incident,
the deadliest among allies
in the decade-long fight
against al-Qaida and other
extremist groups along the
Afghan-Pakistani frontier. Its
findings may not come fast
enough as Pakistani repercus-
sions are already mounting:
closed border crossings for
NATO supplies and troops,
and Tuesdays decision by
Islamabad to withdraw from
a U.S.-backed meeting on
Afghanistan taking place next
week in Bonn, Germany.
Pakistan has a crucial
role to play in supporting a
secure and stable and pros-
perous Afghanistan, State
Department spokesman
Mark Toner said Tuesday.
Its absolutely critical that
Afghanistans neighbors play
a role in its future develop-
ment, and certainly its rela-
tionship with Pakistan has
been critical in that regard.
The breakdown of the
U.S.-Pakistani partnership
comes at an awful time, only
weeks after a high-level del-
egation traveled to Islamabad.
Secretary of State Hillary
Rodham Clinton and CIA
Director David Petraeus went
to patch up the relationship
marred by fights over the
arrest of a U.S. intelligence
contractor, the American
operation to kill Osama bin
Laden and repeated disagree-
ments over the links between
Pakistani intelligence and mil-
itant groups in Afghanistan.
Last week, U.S. Army Maj.
Gen. Daniel Allyn reported
improved cooperation along
the border and a tapering in
incidents of gunfire from
Pakistani territory. Officials
also have described better
U.S.-Pakistani understanding
at the political level, which
will only become more signif-
icant as the United States pulls
its troops out of Afghanistan
in the next three years and
relies on Pakistan to broker
reconciliation talks between
the U.S.-backed Afghan gov-
ernment and the Taliban-led
insurgency.
The improvements are
now at risk of unraveling.
Administration officials are
leaving the door open for
Pakistan to reverse course and
commit to the Bonn confer-
ence, but are more perturbed
by the idea of a substantial
change in Pakistani policy
toward Afghanistan. They
dont know if the Bonn deci-
sion reflects merely another
slap at the United States, or
if it reflects a broader move
away from the U.S. strat-
egy for withdrawing from
Afghanistan.
Toner told reporters the
conferences goal of a stable
Afghanistan was a shared
interest. But he demurred on
whether Pakistan saw it dif-
ferently or if it was willing
to sacrifice its own interests
to retaliate against the United
States. He acknowledged:
We are facing a difficult sit-
uation, a difficult challenge.
The Dec. 5 Bonn meet-
ing will still bring together
representatives from 85 coun-
tries and 15 organizations
to forge a strategy to stabi-
lize Afghanistan and smooth
the planned U.S. drawdown
through 2014. Pakistan is
perhaps the most important
regional country because
of its influence on Afghan
Taliban factions on its soil.
Even before Pakistans with-
drawal, few had high expecta-
tions for the conference.

ATLANTA Herman
Cain told aides Tuesday he
is assessing whether the latest
allegations of inappropriate
sexual behavior against him
create too much of a cloud
for his Republican presiden-
tial candidacy to go forward.
Acknowledging the
firestorm arising from an
accusation of infidelity, Cain
only committed to keeping
his campaign schedule for the
next several days, in a con-
ference call with his senior
staff.
If a decision is made, dif-
ferent than to plow ahead,
you all will be the first to
know, he said, according to a
transcript of the call made by
the National Review, which
listened to the conversation.
It was the first time doubts
about Cains continued can-
didacy had surfaced from
the candidate himself. As
recently as Tuesday morn-
ing, a campaign spokesman
had stated unequivocally that
Cain would not quit.
Cain denied anew that he
had an extramarital affair with
a Georgia woman who went
public a day earlier with alle-
gations they had been inti-
mate for 13 years.
It was just a friendship
relationship, he said on the
call, according to the tran-
script. That being said, obvi-
ously, this is a cause for reas-
sessment.
He went on: With this
latest one, we have to do an
assessment as to whether or
not this is going to create
too much of a cloud, in some
peoples minds, as to whether
or not they would be able to
support us going forth.
Saying the episode had
taken an emotional toll on
him and his family, Cain told
the aides that people will
have to decide whether they
believe him or the accuser.
Thats why were going to
give it time, to see what type
of response we get from our
supporters.
Cain has denied the affair
as well as several other accu-
sations of inappropriate sexu-
al behavior that have dogged
his candidacy over the past
month. He had been publicly
resolute about pressing ahead
even as his standing in public
opinion polls and his fund-
raising started to slide.
But in the conference call,
he pledged only to keep his
imminent schedule, includ-
ing a foreign policy speech at
Hillsdale College in Michigan
later Tuesday that he prom-
ised to deliver with vim,
vigor and enthusiasm.
He scrapped at least one
planned event, withdrawing
from a party in New York on
Sunday to meet with some of
the citys top journalists includ-
ing NBCs Matt Lauer and
ABCs Barbara Walters. Cindy
Adams, the New York Post
columnist hosting the dinner,
told the AP she had received a
call Tuesday from Cain adviser
John Coale saying Cain had
decided not to attend. Coale
declined to comment.
Still, Cain was what one
participant described as calm
and deliberate as he addressed
his staff on the conference call.
The participant, Florida
state Rep. Scott Plakon, one
of four chairmen for Cains
Florida campaign, said he
wanted to see more evidence
from the accuser.
If it is true that he didnt
do this, I think he should
fight and kick and scratch and
win, Plakon said.
But if Cain did have the
affair, Plakon said, it would
be unacceptable to Republican
voters.
WASHINGTON When
the Democratic National
Committee circulates an ad
attacking Mitt Romney even
before the Iowa caucuses
and long before his presi-
dential nomination is clear
one can be fairly certain
that Romney is considered
the greatest threat to a second
Obama term.
This alone should be suf-
ficient endorsement to get
reluctant Republicans on
board, except for the fact
that the ad is very effective.
Titled Mitt v. Mitt: The story
of two men trapped in one
body, the ad traces the many
now-familiar flip-flops of
Romneys political career,
from the seminal pro-choice
to pro-life position to his dis-
approval of Obamacare,
which, as the president never
tires of pointing out, was
modeled on Romneycare.
The ad is good. The mes-
sage is profound. And the
effect may be irreversible.
Nevertheless, voters deserve
to know more than what a
spliced-and-diced commercial
suggests. As anyone in public
life knows, a creative (or mali-
cious) editor can create any
impression he or she desires
regardless of context or real-
ity on the ground. Watching
the ad closely, you see not
only a changing position but
also a changing Romney,
from a youngish man with
black hair to an older model
with graying hair. Might the
man have matured?
This is not to suggest that
Romney hasnt changed his
mind. There is a record. Then
again, who but the most-bar-
nacled ideologue hasnt had
a change of heart given new
information (abortion), expe-
rience (Romneycare) or cir-
cumstances (a national versus
a state election)? Ironically,
Romney has become a
more-conservative candidate
because of his shifts, while
the narrative that he is merely
politically expedient rather
than principled seems to be
a contest between the pot and
the kettle. Mirror, mirror.
It is helpful to know more
about a persons position than
a carefully selected sound
bite permits, but Romneys
attempts to explain himself
have failed. So how does a
person change from one posi-
tion to the polar opposite on
such a core issue as abor-
tion? Easy. Countless women
have changed their minds
thanks to pregnancy and birth.
Countless others have suf-
fered the agony of revelation
too late following an abortion.
Men overjoyed by fatherhood,
or crushed by the loss of a
child through abortion, have
also changed their minds.
Romneys change of heart
evolved not from personal
experience but rather from a
purposeful course of study. I
know this because I know the
man who instructed him in
2005 on the basics of embryon-
ic life during stem cell research
debate then taking place in
Massachusetts. As governor at
the time, Romney was under
intense pressure to help flip a
state law that protected embryos
from stem cell research. Some
of that pressure came from
Harvard University, Romneys
alma mater, where scientists
hoped to assume a leading role
in stem cell research.
The politically expedi-
ent choice was obvious, but
Romney took a more-thought-
ful approach and sought to
educate himself before stak-
ing out a position. Enter
William Hurlbut, a physician
and professor of biomedical
ethics at Stanford University
Medical School. For several
hours, Hurlbut and Romney
met in the governors office
and went through the dynam-
ics of conception, embryonic
development and the reper-
cussions of research that tar-
gets nascent human life. It
was not a light lunch.
The result of that conver-
sation and others was a pro-
life Romney, who, though he
kept his campaign promise to
honor the states democrati-
cally asserted preference for
abortion choice, began a new
personal path that happened to
serve him well, at least theo-
retically, among social conser-
vatives. Was his conversion
sincere? No one can know
anothers heart, but Hurlbut is
convinced that it was.
Several things about our
conversation still stand out
strongly in my mind, Hurlbut
told me. First, he clearly rec-
ognized the significance of
the issue, not just as a current
controversy, but a matter that
would define the character of
our culture into the future.
Second, it was obvious
that he had put in a real effort
to understand both the scien-
tific prospects and the broader
social implications. Finally,
I was impressed by both his
clarity of mind and sincerity
of heart. ... He recognized that
this was not a matter of pure-
ly abstract theory or merely
pragmatic governance, but a
crucial moment in how we
regard nascent human life and
the broader meaning of medi-
cine in the service of life.
Whether one agrees
with Hurlbuts appraisal or
Romneys conclusions, this
was at least a flip-flop of a
higher order. Would that all
our politics were so painstak-
ingly crafted.

The care you receive during a heart attack isnt just about saving
your life, its about saving your quality of life. Thats why St. Ritas
Health Partners rmly believes in a higher standard of care for all
incoming heart attack patients. Because of this belief and because we
consistently meet or exceed the rigorous standards set forth by the
American Heart Association, we have been awarded that organizations
top honor.
Making it all possible is seamless teamwork between our EMS, our
talented heart specialists and our dedicated staff. Not to mention
innovative, wireless technology that allows us to diagnose patients
while theyre still in the ambulance. In many cases, were ready to
intervene before patients come through the door and that can make
all the difference.

After some nice 60 degree
weather it has turned colder
again. The clouds look dark
so I wonder if we will get
some snow soon. Other than
those few inches we had ear-
lier this month we havent
had any. The chil-
dren are ready for
some snow but I am
glad it has held off.
Quite a few of the
children need new
boots for the win-
ter but so far it has
not been possible to
buy some. Buying
shoes and boots for
10 people can really
add up in a hurry.
This week my husband Joe
went back to work after being
off for the Thanksgiving holi-
day. The children are also
back in school after being
home last week.
Jacob, Emma, and fam-
ily and our daughters
friend, Timothy, were our
Thanksgiving dinner guests.
We opened our table all the
way and set it for the 18 of us.
It is getting a little crowded
around the table with the chil-
dren all growing up so fast.
Emma and Jacobs deceased
dear little Marilyn is also still
missed at these holiday din-
ners.
On the menu was turkey,
dressing, mashed potatoes,
gravy, mixed vegetables,
corn, broccoli-cauliflower
salad, potato salad, vegetable
dip and veggies, dill pickles,
hot peppers, tea, homemade
wheat and white bread, rhu-
barb jam and butter, pump-
kin roll, strawberry fruit
pudding and an assortment
of pies including cherry,
apple, pecan, butterscotch
and chocolate pie, along with
ice cream. We had a lot of
leftovers and divided them
between our two families for
easy meals the next day. I
fixed a 24-pound turkey so
we had plenty left for another
meal.
The afternoon was spent
playing games and singing.
Friday, we did the laundry
and hung some outside to dry
and some in the basement.
The bed sheets dried really
nicely and smelled fresh to
put back on the bed. While
we were doing laundry, Joes
sister, Esther, husband David
and another of Joes sisters,
Susan, and three sons came
for a visit. Esther and David
live in Ohio but
were out here in
Michigan visit-
ing family. Susan
has a son who is
the same age as
Kevin. Those two
sure make a match
in playing togeth-
er. They were not
ready to part when
it was time for
them to leave.
Friday evening we went
to the visiting of our friend
Linda, 61, who lost her battle
to cancer. Our sympathy goes
to the family.
Saturday was spent just
cleaning up the house and
folding the laundry. The girls
cleaned out some closets
upstairs. We were glad to see
our friend Ruth stop in after
having not seen her in awhile.
The children always enjoy
the treats she brings.
Sunday we had a delicious
brunch at Jacob and Emmas
house. They served biscuits,
sausage gravy, eggs, pota-
toes, sausage links, cheese,
hot peppers, pineapple sheet
cake, milk, coffee, tea, rhu-
barb, grape and V8 juices. It
was a rainy day so the after-
noon was mainly spent play-
ing games like Battleship,
Aggravation, Connect Four,
Skipbo, and Mancala. The
children wanted to go for a
pony ride but the rain did not
let up. Finally they decided to
be a little creative and fixed
a canvas up over the pony
wagon. It looked kind of like
a covered wagon and they
were able to go for a little
pony ride. They said they are
the Ingalls from Little House
on the Prairie. Although most
of them managed to stay dry,
we still had a few with wet
coats but at least they had
some fun.
The following recipe is a
good one for the holidays:
CEREAL CANDY
1 cup sugar
1 cup sweet cream
1 cup corn syrup
5 cups of corn flakes
2 cups of Rice Krispies
2 cups of Cheerios
1 cup salted peanuts
(optional)
1 cup coconut (optional)
In a large pot over medium
heat cook the sugar, cream,
and corn syrup together until
they reach the softball stage.
Then add the other ingre-
dients. Stir until thoroughly
mixed. Drop by tablespoon
onto a cookie sheet lined with
wax paper and let set like you
would a no bake cookie.

BOWLING
By JIM METCALFE

SHERWOOD Though
the calendar reads November,
the area had a fore-
taste of early win-
ter Tuesday night as
accumulating snow
followed the rain of
the previous days.
Jeffersons girls
basketball team
needed time to get
the heat turned up
in its non-confer-
ence road contest at
Fairview but once it
did, its lethal full-court press
did the damage against the
taller but slower Apaches
with a 62-31 blowout.
We knew we couldnt
match up with their size but
we were quicker. We had to
get them going up and down
the floor, Jefferson mentor
Dave Hoffman noted.
It took a while, though.
The Wildcats (2-0) had some
turnover woes themselves in
the first period (8 of their
game total of 19) and it
was 5-2 with five minutes
left. However, a basket by
senior Elizabeth Schosker
got the Lady Wildcats on a
roll thanks to that hounding
trapping pressure defense: a
13-2 spurt. Senior Kennedy
Boggs, one of two starters
and three total letterwinners
back from last seasons state
semifinalists, poured in all
three of her 3-pointers (18
points for the night, 8 steals,
6 assists, 4 boards) in leading
the surge. Her two singles
with four ticks left accounted
for a 17-11 edge after one.
The Wildcats forced 15 of
their 45 mis-
cues the first
period.
Fairview
played pret-
ty well the
first quarter,
while we got
off to a slow
start. Once
we started
forcing turn-
overs, that got
us going, Hoffman noted.
We also got them into foul
trouble. Their big girls had to
sit because of it and we took
advantage of that.
That would mean 6-1
junior Abby Grinnell (12
markers, 13 boards, 4 blocks)
and 6-0 senior Sydney Vance
(5 boards, 2 counters).
The Red and White contin-
ued that trend into the second
period, adding 11 more forced
turnovers (3 of their own).
Plus, they stayed even on the
glass, only losing 37-34 but
winning the offensive glass
17-9. With Boggs and senior
Samantha Thitoff (career var-
sity-high 12 markers, 3 steals)
netting four each, Jeffersons
lead stretched to 35-17 at one
point on a mid-range J by
Boggs. The Lady Apaches
netted the last three include
a banker by Grinnell with 11
ticks left to close within
35-20.
The Lady Jeffcats were
totally dominant the third
period, holding their foe
to a mere fielder early on
by Grinnell. Thitoff and
sophomore Rileigh
Stockwell (varsity
career-high 11 mark-
ers, 6 boards) net-
ted six in the period
as the team canned
8-of-14 shots (21-of-
57 for the game, 4-of-
16 downtown, for
36.8%) to assume a
55-22 edge on a layin
by senior Megan
Gilden (6 points, 7
caroms) with 11 ticks show-
ing.
The Wildcats did not score
from the field in the fourth
but hit 7-of-13 free throws
(16-of-30 for the game for
53.3%).
The Apaches (1-1) other
high scorer was Haley Clinker
with eight.
Senior Courtney Lewis
delivered five assists and five
thefts for Delphos, who com-
mitted 17 fouls. They will be
off until Dec. 8 when they
host Columbus Grove (6 p.m.
junior varsity tip) to begin
defense of their Northwest
Conference titles from the
previous two seasons.
We had some other girls
step up tonight, like Sam and
Rileigh. We are going to need
them and others to do so con-
sistently, Hoffman added.
Right now, with only three
with any varsity experience
from last year, we need to get
them girls playing time at this
level.
Fairview counted 11-of-31
fielders, 2-of-6 long range,
for 35.5 percent; 7-of-14 free
throws (50%); and 21 fouls.
The Jefferson JVs moved
to 2-0 with a 41-6 belting of
the Apaches.
Sophomore Hannah
Sensibaugh dropped in 11 for
the Wildcats.

Lady Cats pressure wilts Apaches
Boggs Thitoff
By KIRK DOUGAL
Times Bulletin Editor

MIDDLE POINT -
Lincolnview used pressure
defense to make turnovers
into baskets and held visiting
Hicksville to only three points
in the third quarter as the Lady
Lancers beat the Aces 60-35 in
non-conference play at home
on Tuesday night.
Against the much taller vis-
itors, Lincolnview head coach
Dan Williamson said they
knew coming into the game that
their exterior defense and team
rebounding would be impor-
tant for a Lancer win. In
fact, while causing 36
Hicksville turnovers in
the game, they also did
not allow a made basket
outside of eight feet until there
was less than a minute to go in
the contest.
We figured we were going
to need that kind of effort
because we are lacking in post
size and post defense, he
explained. We knew coming
in that was something they
would be very strong at. Their
post players have good size
and we wanted to put a lot of
pressure on them and hope-
fully force a lot of turnovers.
That was exactly what hap-
pened as Lincolnview came
out in a full-court man-to-man
press. The Lady Lancers strug-
gled to put the ball in the basket
at first but they had the Aces so
flummoxed, they were unable
to even get a shot off. Kaitlyn
Brant cracked the scoreboard
first for the home team as she
had a steal out front and con-
verted on the runout for a 2-0
lead. She followed the next trip
down the court by rebounding
a missed 3-point attempt and
putting it back in for a buck-
et. She finished off her first-
quarter run when Katie Dye
had a steal and found Brant
flying down the right side for
a lay up and 6-0 lead, forcing
Hicksville into a timeout.
The break did not do the
visitors any good as Claire Dye
had a steal in the back court and
finished off the break for an 8-0
lead. Tara Smazenko finally put
the Aces on the board with a
post move off the block at the
4:30 mark but Lincolnview held
their lead through the end of the
first quarter, 14-9.
The second quarter start-
ed with the only pressure the
Lady Lancers would feel all
night. After Brant and post
player Carley Springer both
picked up their second fouls
and headed to the bench, the
Aces made a run at the home
team. Julia Thatcher hit a free
throw for Lincolnview but then
it was 6-1 Megan Headley who
scored off the block and hit
two free throws for Hicksville
to draw the score to 15-13.
They could not score on their
next two trips down the court
to tie the game, however, and
their opportunity was lost.
Lincolnview adjusted to
their smaller lineup and turned
up the defensive heat even
more. Kaylee Thatcher scored
on two steals and runouts,
Christine Stemen was fouled
twice on the baseline and
canned all four free throws
and K. Dye sliced to the bas-
ket with only 17 seconds on
the clock to push Lincolnview
to a 26-18 halftime lead. The
only bad news in the stretch
was when Brant picked up her
third foul with only 6.1 sec-
onds remaining.
The start of the third quar-
ter was a blitz the Aces could
not withstand. After Headley
hit a free throw, K. Thatcher
stole the ball twice in a row
for runouts, Lincolnview
rebounded a missed Hicksville
shot and hit C. Dye on a fast
break for two points, Springer
hit a turnaround jumper in
the lane and then it was back
to K. Thatcher again as K.
Dye threaded the needle on a
fast break for another bucket.
Just that fast, the Lancers had
jumped out to a 36-19 lead that
did nothing but extend from
there on out. Headley was the
only Ace to score in
the quarter, three points,
and Lincolnview was
up 42-21 going into the
final period.
Williamson called off the
pressure in the fourth quar-
ter and the Lancers worked on
their half-court sets, using the
post players consistently and
even adding in a 3-pointer from
K. Dye. Hicksville finally hit
their only shot outside of eight
feet when Hannah Jurick nailed
a shot from the elbow with
about a minute remaining.
Williamson said all the
turnovers they forced really
fueled the Lancers offensive
effort, as did a nice job on the
boards by the entire team.
The first half we couldnt
hit any outside shots, he
added. But we were able to
convert (on the turnovers).
Then in the second half we
were able to get some continu-
ity and the shots fell. They do
a really good job, even though
were not big, of really getting
after it and rebounding and
using what size we do have,
boxing out and going after the
ball hard.
Headley led the Aces with 19
points in the game. Hicksville
was 11-of-35 shooting (31.4%)
from the field, including an
0-for-3 effort from behind the
arc. They made 13-of-20 free-
throw attempts for 65 percent.
Kaylee Thatcher had 17
points to lead the Lancers while
K. Dye added 11. Lincolnview
was 24-of-57 (42.1%) from the
field with 1-of-4 3-point attempts
going in. The home team made
9-of-15 free throws for an even
60 percent.
Lincolnview won the bat-
tle of the boards 33-29, with
senior Morgan Peel coming off
the bench to grab 10 caroms,
while Brant added seven in her
limited duty.
Jurick led all rebounders
with 11 for the Aces. The
Lancers pressure defense paid
off in the turnover totals as
well, forcing 36 Hicksville
miscues while only giving up
the ball 22 times, just eight
in the second half including
bench-clearing time.
Lincolnview is now 2-0 on
the season while Hicksville
falls to 0-2.
The Lady Lancer junior
varsity won as well, 38-13, to
go to 2-0 on the year.
The Lancers host Ottoville

FORT SHAWNEE The
Spencerville Lady Bearcats
girls basketball team traveled
to take on the Shawnee Indians
and couldnt handle the Lady
Indians defensive pressure,
losing 78-37 Tuesday night.
The Lady Bearcats are 1-1,
while the Shawnee Indians are
1-0.
The Indians took a quick
11-2 lead with a steal and a
layin by senior Shantay Glenn.
Kaitlynn Gronas caused a
Bearcat turnover and scored
at the buzzer for a 22-7 first-
quarter lead.
The Indians forced
Spencerville into eight second-
quarter turnovers. Shawnee
used that defense to its advan-
tage and two quick back-to-
back baskets by Chrystena
Smith and Britt Lauck gave
the Indians a 39-12 lead with
3:48 left in the first half.
Glenn caused the Bearcats to
throw away the ball and Claire
Dahlke was left wide open on
the 3-point line and hit the shot
with 10 seconds left, giving
Shawnee a commanding 45-15
lead at halftime.
The Indians came out on
fire the third quarter with two
back-to-back field goals from
Lauck but the Bearcat offense
was sparked by a triple by
MacKenzie Miller.
The Indians took a 67-27
lead going into the fourth quar-
ter and didnt look back as
they went on to win their first
game of the season.
We are not a very big
team, so we have to focus on
our defense and getting up
and down the court quickly,
Shawnee coach Jeff Heistan
said. Defensively, we really
want to pressure the ball and
force teams to play a tempo
that they are not normally
comfortable with.
Spencerville coach Katie
Krieg was unavailable for
comment.
Glenn and Smith led the
Shawnee offense with 15
points each. Lauck and Liz
Aller each ended with 11 points
and Stacey Sherrick had eight
points and eight rebounds.
Jenn Post and Schylar
Miller both had eight points
for the Lady Bearcats offense.
Miller and Abby Freewalt con-
tributed with five markers.
Shawnee won the junior
varsity contest 50-29.

Dear Bruce: My girlfriend
and I plan to get married. She
has a condo that is upside
down and is possibly doing
a short sale. Are there any
advantages/disadvantages to
doing this after being married?
We live in California. -- Lance,
via email
Dear Lance: I see no
advantage -- and some very
definite disadvantages -- to
waiting until after being
married to do a short sale.
The chief disadvantage is that
once you are married (even
though your finances may be
separate), its possible that
negotiating a short sale can
reflect on your credit as well
as your fiancees. If your
credit is already down the
drain, I suppose it doesnt
matter much. I would get it
done before the nuptials.
Dear Bruce: I have been
married for 28 years. My
husband is in an assisted-
living facility. He is 89 years
old and receives $1,461 a
month from Social Security.
I am 81 years old and living
independently in a city about
150 miles from him. I receive
$734 a month from Social
Security. Unfortunately, I
started drawing early at age
62, because at that time my
husband encouraged me to.
Im disabled and considering
moving to an assisted-living
facility because of my health.
Please tell me whether there
is any way I can change my
options to draw against my
husbands benefits. My rent is
much more than my monthly
income, and I need help. --
Jeanne, via email
Dear Jeannie: When
you started collecting Social
Security at the earlier date, you
received a reduced benefit.
If you live long enough (as
you have), you reach a point
where that didnt work to your
advantage, but there is no way
of knowing in advance.
Its possible you can have
your account re-examined.
You may be eligible to collect
under your husbands account
number, which could result in
a higher monthly statement.
Unhappily, the only way that
I know to determine this is to
either write to or visit a Social
Security office in your area.
There is no right answer
to your question. All the
variables, such as how much
you made and how much he
made, will determine if your
monthly Social Security could
be increased. Yes, this could
be done on the telephone or
computer, but my experience
tells me that you are far better
off investing the time to talk
to someone in person. It may
take a couple of trips, but it
is better to talk to one of the
representatives eyeball to
eyeball. I wish you well.
Dear Bruce: I am a
47-year-old schoolteacher, no
kids and never married. I have
been out of debt for several
months. I have about $15,000
in liquid assets and $12,000
in my emergency fund. I
have $20,000 in my nonliquid
403(b) accounts, $5,000 or
so in mutual funds and a
small Roth IRA that I just
started. I have another $6,000
in surrender value in a life
insurance policy. My income
is $60,000 a year. Being out
of debt, I believe I am finally
able to create a situation
where I can build enough
wealth over the next 10 to 15
years (including my pension)
to achieve financial security.
One thing that several people
told me I am wrong about is
using homeownership as a
powerful way to build wealth.
I have never owned my own
home. Circumstances over the
years have prevented me from
being in the market.
I have been renting a
house for several years now,
and it has been a good deal.
I pay reasonable rent, plus
all utilities, water, sewer and
fire charges. I will at some
point have an opportunity to
buy this place. At my age,
I believe it is a bad idea for
me to saddle myself with
the costs of owning a home.
It will not only put me into
substantial debt, but it will
also increase my monthly
costs dramatically. I expect to
live in this house until I die. I
will never be able to see the
equity/cash in the house. It
may or may not generate over
time. In this economy, the
house values will not rise in
the next 20 years
the way they have the past.
Am I missing something
here? If I were 25 years old,
this would be different. The
house would be almost paid
off by now. -- Lee, via email
Dear Lee: An entire
generation of people has never
seen large hiccups in the real
estate market. The idea was
that homeownership was
the best way to build family
wealth. While that might have
been true, it is clearly not the
correct way to increase your
worth. If youre going to
buy a home, your motivation
should be enjoyment in life,
not profit. It would appear you
are in a home you like, you are
renting for a reasonable rate
and the home will continue
to be available. If all of those
assumptions are correct, then
why in the world would you
want to buy? There is little
question that over a period
of time, the difference you
would pay owning a home,
paying a mortgage, paying
for major maintenance, etc.,
would appreciate nowhere
near as quickly as long-
term investments in the
marketplace. I am sure you
can find exceptions to this.
If you wish to secure the
home so you can be assured
that you can live there, and
if there is some question that
it might go away if you dont
purchase it, thats one thing.
But looking at your situation
from a straight numbers
point of view, I believe you
are doing very well, and I
wouldnt upset that.

Europe delays major debt decisions for 10 days
By GREG KELLER
BRUSSELS European
finance ministers failed to
deliver the broad outlines of
a plan to shore up the euro
today, delaying action until
their bosses meet in less than
a week and a half.
Though the meetings since
Tuesday have not yielded any-
thing concrete about whats
likely to come out of the EU
leaders meeting on Dec. 9,
theres growing speculation
that Europe is readying a plan
to make the 17 countries that
use the euro more unified
and ruled by stricter budget-
ary rules. That, analysts said,
could allow the European
Central Bank to take a more
central role in the crisis
seen as crucial to stabilize the
debt crisis thats seen three
countries already bailed out.
The new mantra seems
to be Build it, and they will
lend, in the sense if they
promise the ECB that they
will gradually move to a fis-
cal union, the central bank
will buy sufficient amounts
of government bonds to sta-
bilise the market, said Gary
Jenkins, chief economist
at Evolution Securities in
London.
Markets appear to be giv-
ing Europe the benefit of the
doubt for now especially after
the worlds leading central
banks said jointly they would
make it easier for banks to
get hold of the dollars they
may need.
The forbearance in the
markets is unlikely to last
long though, especially if the
summit next week fails to
match swelling expectations
of a much tighter eurozone.
The EUs leading econom-
ic official said as much.
We are now entering the
critical period of 10 days to
complete and conclude the cri-
sis response of the European
Union, EU Monetary Affairs
Commissioner Olli Rehn
said.
todays meeting in Brussels
has brought in the 10 non-
euro finance ministers from
the 27-nation EU, who have
been pressing hard for a swift
solution for fear that their
economies will suffer.
Swedens Anders Borg
said there was no more time
to waste and that the markets
dont provide any honey-
moons for any countries that
stray from fiscal austerity. He
stressed that Spain and Italy
need to take out all the skel-
etons from their financial
closets and implement bud-
getary belt tightening mea-
sures.
Many economists say the
17 nations that use the euro
have little choice but to back
proposals for much closer
coordination of their spend-
ing and budget policies.
If the eurozone is to sur-
vive, there needs to be more
fiscal union, said Eswar
Prasad, an economics profes-
sor at Cornell University in
the state of New York.
For struggling economies,
this might be the necessary
price of survival. With such
discipline in place, the ECB
could then agree to make
major purchases of govern-
ment bonds from Europes
troubled countries. Doing so
could help lower their bor-
rowing costs and enable them
to finance their debts.
Potentially, the ECB has
unlimited financial firepower
through its ability to print
money. However, Germany
finds the idea of monetizing
debts unappealing, warning
that it lets the more profli-
gate countries off the hook
for their bad practices. In
addition, it conjures up bad
memories of hyperinflation in
Germany in the 1920s.
So far, the ECB has been
reluctant in taking on a big-
ger firefighting role as it may
let profligate countries off
the hook. Current rules only
allow it to buy up govern-
ment bonds in the markets
on condition that it drains an
equivalent amount of assets.
At a meeting Tuesday
night, finance ministers for
the 17 countries that use the
euro handed Greece a prom-
ised (euro) 8 billion ($10.7
billion) rescue loan to fend off
its immediate cash crisis and
promised to increase the fire-
power of a fund to help bail
out ailing eurozone countries.
The ministers also called
on the International Monetary
Fund for more resources to
help further protect Europes
embattled currency. The IMF
has only about $390 bil-
lion available to lend, which
wouldnt be anywhere near
enough to rescue Italy.
Rubbermaid
center closing
in brands Ohio
hometown
WOOSTER (AP) The
maker of Rubbermaid con-
tainers is closing a distribu-
tion center with more than
100 workers in the Ohio town
where the brand was founded.
Atlanta-based Newell
Rubbermaid Inc. said Tuesday
it plans to shut down the facil-
ity in Wooster by the end
of 2012. The company says
it will expand distribution
functions at its manufacturing
plant in Mogadore, about 30
miles away in northeast Ohio.
Spokesman David Doolittle
says its unclear if any of the
110 distribution center jobs
in Wooster will transfer to
Mogadore.
The Akron Beacon Journal
reports the closing will leave
only a retail store with 14
employees in Wooster, about
50 miles south of Cleveland.
Rubbermaid started there in
1920 as Wooster Rubber. The
company was acquired by
Newell 12 years ago.
Stocks leap on central banks
coordinated action
Stocks are soaring in early
trading after major central banks
acted to avert a credit crunch.
The central banks of
Europe, the U.S., Britain,
Canada, Japan and Switzerland
eased banks access to dollars
by reducing their borrowing
rates. The move responds to
fears that a European country
would default, touching off a
credit crunch similar to what
followed the 2008 collapse of
Lehman Brothers.
Banks need dollars to fund
their daily operations. Their
access dried up as U.S. money
market funds reduced their
lending to European banks.
The Dow Jones industrial
average is up 319, or 2.8 percent,
at 11,874 in early trading today.
The S&P 500 is up 32, or 2.7
percent, at 1,227. The Nasdaq is
up 70, or 2.8 percent, at 2,586.

How many shopping days
until Christmas? You have
plenty of time to make some
gifts for the children on
your list. Odds are you have
some of the supplies already.
Visit www.frugalvillage.
com/2009/08/21/easy-
homemade-gifts-for-kids/ for
some ideas.
Try these fun homemade
gifts:
Puppet theater: In a childs
room, you can suspend a curtain
from a tension rod hung in a
doorway or a closet to make a
puppet theater. Make puppets
by removing some filling from
stuffed animals that have been
forgotten. Simple puppets can
be made from paper bags,
socks, gloves or felt, too.
Suitcases: Kids can use a
suitcase as a dress-up box or
to hold activity books. One
reader, Debbi from New
Jersey, shares: Pick up an old
hard-sided suitcase at a yard
sale or thrift store. Decoupage
pictures on the side to give
it a theme. I did this for my
daughter to hold her American
Girl dolls and accesories. You
can also create a personalized
suitcase to hold Legos or for
craft or scrapbook supplies,
especially if you find an older
suitcase that has the little
interior pockets.
Old sheets: Use a sheet to
create an indoor hopscotch
course or a checkerboard
game. Milk caps or pompoms
make fun game pieces.
Yarn surprise ball: A creative
way to wrap and give a small
gift or money is to wind yarn
around it. These work well
for Secret Santa gifts for co-
workers or to have on hand for
any last-minute gifts. You can
embellish the outside with a
jingle bell, silk flower or gift
tag that tells the recipient to
unwind the ball. Hang them
from your Christmas tree, tuck
them into stockings, give them
as party favors or use them as
place-card holders. You can
use crepe paper streamers
instead of yarn, too.
Reindeer fudge: Another
reader, Denise from Illinois,
shares tips for a fun holiday
treat: Make fudge as usual
and pour it into a circular pie
pan. Cut the fudge into pie-
shaped wedges (like a pizza)
and wrap each wedge with
plastic wrap. Leave extra wrap
at the top and tie each corner
with curling ribbon to form
antlers. Glue two googly eyes
on the wedge and add a red
pompom at the bottom for the
nose. You can also make the
antlers using chenille stems.
Root-beer reindeer: Buy root
beer or any bottled beverage
such as cola, apple juice,
Frappucino, etc. Twist pipe
cleaner antlers just below the
bottle cap, add a red pompom
nose, wiggle eyes and a thin
piece of fleece as a scarf. These
make quick, cute gifts and
can be given in the root-beer
carton or individually. You can
place the bottles on their sides
and make the bottlenecks and
bottle caps the noses of the
reindeer, too. Add a pompom
nose to the bottle cap. Glue on
wiggle eyes and wrap chenille
stems to form antlers.
Pillows: Turn a T-shirt inside
out and sew the bottom and
sleeve openings closed. Turn
the shirt right-side out, stuff
it and sew the top opening
closed. Or cut the body of
the shirt and use it to create a
square-shaped pillow.
You can make a pillow
snowman using a white
pillowcase stuffed with polyfill.
Sew the opening to close or
use double-sided sticky Velcro
so it can be washed easily. Tie
a scarf around the pillowcase
one-third of the way down to
form the body. Add a winter hat
and use glue to attach wiggle,
button, pompom or fabric-
paint eyes and a felt nose.

MOODY
She likely wont get 21,
but Adele is poised to take
the biggest bulk of nods when
the Grammy nominations are
announced tonight.
The British singer-song-
writer has had a great year,
thanks to her sophomore
album, 21. The mournful
album about a failed relation-
ship is the years best-selling
disc with over 4.5 million
copies sold. It has resulted in
two smash singles, Rolling
in the Deep and Someone
Like You.
The Recording Academy
will likely add to Adeles
achievements. She is a strong
contender to get bids for album
of the year and for song and/
or record of the year for the
searing groove Rolling in
the Deep.
But shes not the only favor-
ite for top nominations. Taylor
Swifts multiplatinum Speak
Now is a possible contender
for album of the year, as is
Tony Bennetts Duets II,
which marked the 85-year-
olds first album to debut at
No. 1, making him the oldest
artist to achieve that feat.
Lady Gagas Born This
Way, which had the years
biggest debut with 1.1 mil-
lion albums sold in its first
week, could become her third
straight disc to be nominated
for album of the year. She was
cited for The Fame Monster
this year and for her debut,
The Fame, in 2010.
Then theres Kanye West.
His My Beautiful Dark
Twisted Fantasy was one
of the most highly regarded
albums of 2010, and is eli-
gible for a nomination for
album of the year. So is his
collaboration with Jay-Z for
Watch the Throne, another
contender in the category.
A handful of the nomi-
nations are scheduled to be
revealed during the fourth
annual Grammy nominations
concert special, to air live
from the Nokia Theatre in Los
Angeles on CBS at 10 p.m.
EST. Lady Gaga is slated to
open and close the show.
Other performers include
Katy Perry, who could get a
record of the year nomina-
tion for her hit Firework;
Rihanna, who could snag
a few nominations, includ-
ing album of the year for
Loud; and The Band Perry,
the country sibling trio likely
to be up for best new artist.
(Another strong contender for
that category, Nicki Minaj, is
scheduled to be a presenter on
the special.)
The Band Perry, at rehears-
als Tuesday night, were hope-
ful about getting a nomina-
tion.
Our fingers are crossed.
We kinda dont like to think
too much about that kind of
stuff on nights before nomina-
tions. We dont want to be a
bad luck charm. Ill tell you
what, it would be the cherry
on top of a really wonderful
year, said Kimberly Perry.
We actually just today got
the news that weve been cer-
tified platinum. Weve been
high-fiving and celebrating all
day. If we were honored to be
nominated for best new artist,
we would definitely be cel-
ebrating two days in a row.
This years nominations
will mark the newly trimmed
Grammys. Earlier this year,
amid some protests, the acad-
emy cut the number of cat-
egories from 109 to 78. Some
of the more niche categories,
like best Zydeco or Cajun
music album, were eliminated.
In addition, men and women
will now compete together
in vocal categories for pop,
R&B and country, instead of
having separate categories for
each sex.
The 54th annual Grammy
Awards will be presented
Feb. 12 in Los Angeles, and
will be telecast live on CBS.

HENLEY- ON- KLI P,

Nobiva was raised by her
grandmother in a neighbor-
hood beset by poverty and
crime after her mother died
of AIDS. Now one of the
first to graduate from Oprah
Winfreys school, she is
headed to college in North
Carolina.
Winfrey spent $40 million
to give her girls a campus
with computer and science
labs, a library and a wellness
center. None paid tuition. The
students are high-achievers,
often from communities
where schools are struggling
to overcome the legacy of
apartheid.
And as the South African
school year nears its end, all
72 members of the schools
first graduating class have
been accepted to universities
in South Africa or the United
States. More than a dozen
have received full scholar-
ships.
Winfrey told her students
that when you teach a girl,
you teach a nation.
The first class, my class,
will prove that, said Nobiva,
18, who will study visual and
performing arts at Johnson C.
Smith University in Charlotte,
North Carolina.
Winfrey will be at the
school for graduation ceremo-
nies in January, school offi-
cials said today as students
gathered to reflect on their
experiences over the last five
years.
The school that has drawn
sometimes harsh attention
because of the celebrity who
founded it, and also because
of early problems.
Students have been accused
of being spoiled. Allegations
that a woman employed to
care for the girls in their dor-
mitory had instead abused
teens were the subject of
headlines around the world.
The woman was acquitted last
year.
Adele may be rolling deep

NEW YORK Veteran
stand-up comic Patrice
ONeal, who gained a wider
following through TV and
radio and helped roast Charlie
Sheen, died Tuesday from
complications of a stroke he
suffered last month. He was
41.
ONeals manager,
Jonathan Brandstein, said he
died in a New York-area hos-
pital.
Many of us have lost a
close and loved friend; all
of us have lost a true comic
genius, Brandstein said in a
statement.
ONeal appeared on
Conan OBriens and David
Lettermans TV shows and
was a frequent guest on the
Opie & Anthony radio
show on Sirius XM. His per-
formance was a highlight of
the Comedy Central roast of
Sheen, who had been fired
from the hit CBS comedy
Two and a Half Men, in
September.
Sheen said in a tweet
Tuesday, The entertainment
world as well as the world at
large lost a brilliant man.
He added, Patrice had that
rare light around him and
inside of him. I only knew
him for the few days leading
up the Roast. Yet I will for-
ever be inspired by his nobil-
ity, his grace and his epic
talent. My tears today are for
the tremendous loss to his true
friends and loving family.
Other entertainers also
mourned ONeal on Twitter.
RIP Patrice ONeal. You
made us laugh til we cried,
comedian Sarah Silverman
said.
Actor Jay Mohr said, Just
heard. Goodnight broth-
er. Damn. Just ridiculous.
Terrible. Beyond sad.
Comedian Patrice ONeal dies, had suffered stroke

DEAR DOCTOR K: Im an
80-year-old man who spends
summers on the coast of Maine.
I love to swim in the ocean for
20 or 30 minutes each day. The
water is cold (55 degrees F), but
it doesnt bother me. My real
question is whether doing this
is bad for my heart, because my
heart rate is sometimes irregular.
Are my cold-water swims OK?
DEAR READER: First of all,
congratulations! Anyone who
is 80 years old and is up to the
challenge of a daily swim in the
ocean deserves our admiration.
You obviously have both courage
and a zest for life.
Now, is it wise for you to swim in
the cold ocean water? Swimming
is an excellent exercise for your
heart, arteries, lungs and muscles.
If you enjoy swimming in cold
water and have been doing it for
some time with no ill effects, its
probably fine for you. But I do
have three concerns.
First, immersing your body in
water squeezes blood from your
limbs into your chest. This makes
your heart work harder and raises
your blood pressure. When you
have your face in the water and
are holding your breath, your
heart slows down and your blood
pressure rises. And that is even
more true as the water temperature
gets colder.
Second, the shock of cold water
against your skin automatically
triggers a series of changes in
your body called the fight-or-
flight survival response. The most
important physical change is that
blood vessels supplying your skin
narrow. This also makes your
blood pressure rise.
Third, the fight-or-flight
response can also disturb the
hearts steady rhythm.
Since you are already
prone to an irregular
heartbeat, it could spell
trouble.
For these reasons,
and because ocean water can be
treacherous, I think it would be
healthier for you to swim in a
pool with temperatures in the 70s
or low 80-degree range.
But if you want to continue
to swim in the ocean, I surely
wouldnt advise you to stop.
Swimming daily is most likely
better for your health than not
doing so. I would suggest you
always swim with someone close
by and make sure that person
knows CPR. Be on the lookout
for warning symptoms: If you
feel faint or notice irregular or
missed heartbeats, get out of
the water.
Here in Boston we have a
fearless group of men who, by
long tradition, take a swim in our
salty harbor every New Years
Day. Then they try to get a suntan
-- regardless of the weather. They
enter the ocean at the foot of L
Street, and theyre called the L
Street Brownies. Of course, the
rest of us think theyre crazy.
But their pictures are in the paper
every year, because we all admire
their spirit, too.

DEAR DOCTOR K: Im an
80-year-old man who spends
summers on the coast of Maine.
I love to swim in the ocean for
20 or 30 minutes each day. The
water is cold (55 degrees F), but
it doesnt bother me. My real
question is whether doing this
is bad for my heart, because my
heart rate is sometimes irregular.
Are my cold-water swims OK?
DEAR READER: First of all,
congratulations! Anyone who
is 80 years old and is up to the
challenge of a daily swim in the
ocean deserves our admiration.
You obviously have both courage
and a zest for life.
Now, is it wise for you to swim in
the cold ocean water? Swimming
is an excellent exercise for your
heart, arteries, lungs and muscles.
If you enjoy swimming in cold
water and have been doing it for
some time with no ill effects, its
probably fine for you. But I do
have three concerns.
First, immersing your body in
water squeezes blood from your
limbs into your chest. This makes
your heart work harder and raises
your blood pressure. When you
have your face in the water and
are holding your breath, your
heart slows down and your blood
pressure rises. And that is even
more true as the water temperature
gets colder.
Second, the shock of cold water

blood pressure rise.
Third, the fight-or-flight

hearts steady rhythm.
Since you are already
prone to an irregular
heartbeat, it could spell
trouble.
For these reasons,
and because ocean water can be
treacherous, I think it would be
healthier for you to swim in a
pool with temperatures in the 70s
or low 80-degree range.
But if you want to continue
to swim in the ocean, I surely
wouldnt advise you to stop.
Swimming daily is most likely
better for your health than not
doing so. I would suggest you
always swim with someone close
by and make sure that person
knows CPR. Be on the lookout
for warning symptoms: If you

ful 4-year-old girl. We have
been watching her for the
past three months because
her parents had their water
service shut off due to lack of
payment. A month ago, they
had their gas and electricity
shut off, as well. They are
living off of the welfare sys-
tem with no other
means of support.
In the past, my
wife and I have
paid a lot of money
to keep their utili-
ties on, but this
time we took a
stand and decided
not to. Instead, we
opted to assist in
taking care of their
daughter until they
can fix this situ-
ation, knowing it
will probably happen again.
We want our granddaugh-
ter to have a shot at nor-
malcy, and we feel she will
never get that if we return her
to her parents. Unfortunately,
my wife and I lack both the
finances to raise a child and
the vitality necessary to keep
up with her. We dont know
what to do. If we decide to
seek custody, how do we go
about it? Is there financial
aid available for people in
our situation? We want to do
the right thing for our grand-
daughter. -- Geezer with a
Cause in Los Angeles
Dear Los Angeles:
Instead of seeking custody,
you might want to apply for
legal guardianship of your
granddaughter or become
her foster parents. Would
the parents voluntarily allow
this? That would be the easi-
est way to do it. Discuss
your options with an attor-
ney who specializes in family
law. You can get referrals
for low-cost legal assistance
through LawHelp California
(lawhelpca.org).
Dear Annie: We work in
an office where the employees
(mostly the female employ-
ees) bring treats -- candy or
homemade goodies -- on a
regular basis. This always
has been a nice gesture and
much appreciated.
The problem is a new
employee who doesnt seem
to understand the concept
of taking your share and no
more. Vern is the first one
at your desk if he notices
candy. Then he keeps com-
ing back over and over again,
taking large quantities on
each trip. Those treats are for
everyone.
Vern is really a nice man
in so many ways, but we are
about ready to discontinue
bringing treats to the office
because this is so frustrating.
One of the employees made
special homemade treats for
her boss on his birthday, and
Vern stood at her desk to
get his share before anyone
else, and then returned for a
second helping before others
had their first.
No one wants to hurt
Verns feelings, and he
doesnt seem to get the hint
when comments are made to
others in his presence. Do
you have any suggestions
about how to handle this? We
hate to see a nice tradition
ruined because the
goodies can no lon-
ger be shared with
everyone. -- Didnt
Take This Guy To
Raise
Dear Didnt:
Someone needs to
speak up. If Vern
returns for seconds
before others have
had a turn, say, A
lot of folks havent
had any treats yet,
Vern, so no sec-
ond helpings until everyone
has had one. If he takes six
cupcakes, stop him, saying,
Sorry, Vern, only one per
customer. Be nice, firm and
consistent. We dont think
it will take much to retrain
the guy, so please give him
a chance before you elimi-
nate something that all of you
obviously enjoy a great deal.
Dear Annie: Showerless
in Sheboygan said her retired
military husband refused
to shower or get a haircut.
You suggested he might be
depressed.
My husband is a psy-
chologist with the Veterans
Administration. V.A. ser-
vices are available in most
states for mental health issues
or changes in health status.
Please pass this along. -- V.A.
Supporter in Louisville,
Ky.
Dear Louisville: Thank
you for reminding those read-
ers who have served in the
military that the V.A. (va.

cal as well as medical coun-
sel.

Both your ingenuity and cleverness
will be among the
major qualities that
will contribute to
your success in the
year ahead. Dont be
reluctant to try your
hand at as many new
things as you like.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec.
21) -- Youre starting a new cycle,
which will continue for some time
and could be remarkably profitable if
you play your cards right. Its a spotty
trend, so be able to recognize your
good days.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19) -- This is likely to be a favorable
day for you where new adventures
or enterprises are concerned. Itll be
especially so for anything that youll
have a hand in bringing about.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19)
-- Something that was financially
fortunate for you previously could
be so again. Whatever you do, dont
change anything that worked well the
first time.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) --
A couple of friends could play more
prominent roles in your affairs than
they have done in the past. Its one of
those times when each party could be
lucky for the other.
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
-- One of your greatest assets is your
ability to derive benefits or advantages
from shifting circumstances. Be as
supple as a reed in the wind.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) --
If at all possible, devote some time
to an exciting, fresh interest that has
captured your fancy. This new pastime
could have greater ramifications for
your life than you think.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) --
Couple your will to win with your
imagination, and visualize the type
of results you hope to achieve, along
with some changes you would like to
make. Theyre all doable.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
-- Your ability to absorb and catalog
all types of new information is better
than usual at this time. Strive to
utilize this wonderful gift to your best
advantage.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) --
Chances are youll be luckier than
usual, but not necessarily in ways of
your choosing. Even though benefits
will be influenced by what you cant
control, youll like what occurs.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
-- Team up with others, because
fortuitous developments can be
generated through partnerships,
especially those springing from a
social involvement.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- An
adverse situation that youve been
working hard at changing for the
better is likely to take that turn at last.
Instead of producing negatives, it
could bring you something very nice.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) --
A friend of yours is likely to be the
purveyor of some good news, but
neither you nor your pal will be aware
of this until you talk. It could be a big
surprise to both of you when you do.

LA police raid protest in show of force
Conn. money managers: No secret lottery winner
By JOHN
CHRISTOFFERSEN
Associated Press
NEW HAVEN, Conn.
Three money manag-
ers awarded a $254 mil-
lion Powerball jackpot said
Tuesday theres no fourth
participant despite a claim
theyre covering for a winner
who wants to stay anony-
mous.
Greg Skidmore, Brandon
Lacoff and Tim Davidson,
who work at an asset manage-
ment firm in Greenwich, one
of the most affluent towns in
America, came forward as
the lottery winners Monday.
Their lawyer said they formed
a trust to manage the money
after Davidson bought the $1
winning ticket at a Stamford
gas station.
But Thomas Gladstone,
who identified himself as
the landlord for the mens
company, said he was sur-
prised to learn Lacoff was
among the winners because
he made no mention of it
when he saw him Friday. So
Gladstone called Lacoff on
Monday night.
He said, No, I didnt
win the lottery. Were rep-
resenting the guy who did,
Gladstone said. He said he
represents the guy whos
staying anonymous.
Asked who the real winner
is, Gladstone said, Theyre
protecting him. Thats the
whole purpose of putting this
in this trust.
He said the real winner,
a client of the mens firm,
wants anonymity because
people get harassed and
hounded when they win the
lottery.
His claim was first report-
ed by the Daily Mail newspa-
per of Britain.
A statement from the
mens Putnam Avenue
Family Trust said there has
been much speculation and
quite a bit of misinformation
over the last 24 hours. It said
the trust was established to
manage the winnings to help
those who can benefit from
the money.
And to be clear, there
are a total of three trustees
and there is no anonymous
fourth participant, the state-
ment said.
The trust promised to dis-
tribute $1 million in the next
10 days to organizations in
the New York-New Jersey-
Connecticut area that help
veterans.
The three trustees consid-
er this the first stop on what
we see as a journey of phi-
lanthropy in the months and
years to come, the statement
said. We recognize that we
have been literally blessed
with a winning hand when
it came to playing a simple
game of chance. We also rec-
ognize that, as a result, we
have a moral obligation to
ensure these dollars are put
to their best possible use in
the shortest possible time to
help the broadest number of
people in need.
Gladstone said the anony-
mous winner is the benefi-
ciary of the trust.
But a trust spokesman,
Gary Lewi, insisted there is
no secret lottery winner.
I am afraid Mr. Gladstone
is mistaken, he said.
The mens attorney, Jason
Kurland, did not return
repeated telephone calls, an
email and Facebook messag-
es Tuesday. Messages also
were left with the men.
Connecticut Lottery
Corporation president Anne
Noble said she could not con-
firm or deny rumors swirling
around the prize. She said
officials are processing the
payout for the winners who
came forward Monday.
The Connecticut lottery
followed its policies and pro-
cedures, and we are obliged
to pay the bearer of the instru-
ment, she said.
By CHRISTINA HOAG and KATHY MATHESON
Associated Press
LOS ANGELES In a massive show of force, 1,400 police
officers, some in riot gear stormed the Occupy Los Angeles
camp early today, driving protesters from the park and arrest-
ing more than 200 who defied orders to leave. Similar raids in
Philadelphia led to 50 arrests, but the scene in both cities was
relatively peaceful.
Police in Los Angeles and Philadelphia moved in on Occupy
Wall Street encampments under darkness today in an effort to
clear out some of the longest-lasting protest sites since crack-
downs ended similar occupations across the country.
Los Angeles Police Chief Charlie Beck praised the officers
and the protesters for their restraint and the peaceful way the
eviction was carried out.
Officers flooded down the steps of City Hall just after mid-
night and started dismantling the two-month-old camp two days
after a deadline passed for campers to leave the park. Officers in
helmets and wielding batons and guns with rubber bullets con-
verged on the park from all directions with military precision and
began making arrests after several orders were given to leave.
There were no injuries and no drugs or weapons were found
during a search of the emptied camp which was strewn with
garbage after the raid. City workers put up concrete barriers to
wall off the park while its restored.
The raid in Los Angeles came after demonstrators with the
movement in Philadelphia marched through the streets after
being evicted from their site. About 40 protesters were arrested
after refusing to clear a street several blocks northeast of City
Hall, Philadelphia Police Commissioner Charles Ramsey said.
They were lined up in cuffs and loaded on to buses by officers.
Six others were arrested earlier after remaining on a street police
that police tried to clear.
Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa raised public
safety and health concerns in announcing plans for the eviction
last week, while Philadelphia officials said protesters must clear
their site to make room for a $50 million renovation project.
Defiant Los Angeles campers who were chanting slogans
as the officers surrounded the park, booed when an unlawful
assembly was declared, paving the way for officers to begin
arresting those who didnt leave.
In the first moments of the raid, officers tore down a tent and
tackled a tattooed man with a camera on City Hall steps and
wrestled him to the ground. Someone yelled police brutality.
Teams of four or five officers moved through the crowd
making arrests one at a time, cuffing the hands of protesters
with white plastic zip-ties. A circle of protesters sat with arms
locked, many looking calm and smiling.
Opamago Cascini, 29, said the night had been a blast and he
was willing to get arrested.
Its easy to talk the talk, but you gotta walk the walk,
Cascini said.
Police used a cherry picker to pluck five men from trees.
Two others were in a tree house one wore a crown and
another taunted police with an American flag.
In Philadelphia, police began pulling down tents at about
1:20 a.m. EST after giving demonstrators three warnings that
they would have to leave, which nearly all of the protestors fol-
lowed. Dozens of demonstrators then began marching through
the streets and continued through the night.
Ramsey said breaking up the camp in the early-morning
hours helped minimize any disruption to businesses and traffic.
We acknowledge the fact that we are going to have to leave
this space .... but in another sense this has been our home for
almost two months and no one wants to see their home taken
away from them, Philadelphia protestor Bri Barton, 22, said
before police began clearing out the camp.
Whether or not we have this space or work in the city is
nowhere near done, she said.
Jacksons doctor draws
judges ire, gets 4 years
By LINDA DEUTSCH
AP Special Correspondent
LOS ANGELES It was clear that Michael Jacksons
doctor was going to get the maximum four-year sentence
for involuntary manslaughter before the judge even finished
speaking.
In a nearly half-hour tongue lashing, Dr. Conrad Murray
was denounced as a greedy, remorseless physician who com-
mitted a horrific violation of trust and killed the King of Pop
during an experiment.
Dr. Murray created a set of circumstances and became
involved in a cycle of horrible medicine, Judge Michael
Pastor said in a stern voice.
Pastor said Murray sold out his profession for a promised
fee of $150,000 a month when he agreed to give Jackson a
powerful anesthetic every night as an unorthodox cure for
insomnia.
Murray will likely serve less than two years in county jail,
not state prison, because of Californias overcrowded prisons
and jails. Sheriffs officials said he will be housed in a one-
man cell and be kept away from other inmates.
The tall, imposing Murray, who has been in jail for three
weeks, was allowed to change into street clothes a charcoal
gray suit and white shirt for court. But he wore prison-issue
white socks and soft slippers.
Jacksons family said in a statement read in court that they
were not seeking revenge but a stiff sentence for Murray that
would serve as a warning to opportunistic doctors. Afterward,
they said they were pleased with the judges sentence.
Were going to be a family. Were going to move forward.
Were going to tour, play the music and miss him, brother
Jermaine Jackson said.
