DH 1117

An unidentified male
called the Delphos Herald

Wednesday, claiming to be an
employee of I&K Distributors.
He claimed a company offi-
cial informed employees
that Chief Executive Officer
Robert Fishbein had been
fired. The Herald also spoke
with Human Resources
Director Robin Terhark, who
confirmed the separation had
taken place but would not
specify how. She refused to
make any further comment
and said the company would
not issue a press release to
make further statements. Nor
did she state who Fishbeins
replacement is.
This turn of events may
appear to stand as a direct
contradiction to earlier
events. Ed Gebert reported
Wednesday that Attorney
Bill Kluge told Van Wert
County Common Pleas Court
Judge Charles Steele that he
planned on filing motions
that, if approved, would per-
mit a business consultant to
visit Fishbein at the jail for
a short time on Wednesday
afternoons in order to sign
papers and make some deci-
sions. Another motion would
allow Fishbein to use the

From curfew violations
to crimes like petty theft to
the likes of drug abuse and
beyond, criminals are never
crafted overnight. One law
enforcement official says
there are patterns and com-
mon threads to a criminals
development one of which
is parents who dont set strong
limits with carried-out conse-
quences for breaking rules.
Excessively-lenient parenting
sends children the message
that nothing is their fault;
they are victims and they do
not expect to suffer negative
consequences for bad behav-
ior.
Police Chief Kyle Fittro
said its common for delin-
quency to begin with a cur-
few violation around the ages
of 11-13. He can predict how
likely his department is to see
a child again by the parents
behavior when they come to
the police station in the mid-
dle of the night.
Heres a common scenar-
io: A 12-year-old is arrested
for violating curfew at 3
a.m. We call the parent(s)
to let them know. The par-
ent comes in to pick of the
kid and yells at the police
for picking on their child
or harassing their child
instead of being out catch-
ing real criminals. Those are
the kids well see again,
he said. Theyll grab the
kid and say something like
come on, Johnny, lets get
out of here. They have noth-
ing better to do than to pick
on you. Almost all of the
time, well see that kid again
and again and again.
Perhaps in an effort to
be supportive, some parents
refuse to believe their child
would do anything wrong,
according to the chief. He
says there was one example
when a parents denial simply
defied all logic.
Some parents habitually
stick up for their kids, even
when shown a video of their
child shoplifting in a store.
We had that happen one time
and when the mother came
in, we showed her the sur-
veillance tape. She looked
right at it and swore it wasnt
him. She said you must have
made a mistake; thats not
him. He wouldnt do some-
thing like that, Fittro said.
Well, maybe he normally
wouldnt do something like
that but he did that day. When
parents take that kind of atti-
tude, we see their kid again
because nothing is ever their
fault. Everyone, including the
police, is screwing them over
in some way. Around here,
we call it a victim mental-
ity.
Conversely, if a parent
comes in taking responsibil-
ity for their childs behavior,
officers can tell the child will
be disciplined and that usually
alters the childs behavior in
such way as to prevent future
encounters with the police.
Usually, if the parent
comes in and says OK, offi-
cer; what did he do? and
is immediately upset with

These building blocks
are indeed woven into the

Students use cranberry bounce for math
To harvest cranberries, pilgrims, Native Americans and farmers would fill cran-
berry bogs with water. To check for quality, cranberry farmers would bounce them.
Each cranberry had seven chances to bounce over four inches. Second-graders at St.
Johns Elementary tested their math skills by bouncing cranberries and recording
measurements. Above: Braysen Schulte and Cassidy Beining begin their cranberry

Resers buys
Orval Kent,
Chef Solutions
Resers Fine Foods Inc.
on Tuesday won approval
to buy the assets of a bank-
rupt rival for $70 million in
a deal that will put it within
shouting distance of its $1
billion revenue goal.
A Delaware bankruptcy
judge approved the deal to
sell substantially all of the
assets of Wheeling, Ill.-
based Chef Solutions Inc. to
Beaverton-based Resers. This
includes the Delphos facility.
It is the second major acqui-
sition this year for Resers, a
family-owned company that
expects to earn $750 million
this year. Chef Solutions will
add about $200 million in rev-
enue to the companys totals.
The opportunity to acquire
a major rival arose in October,
when Chef Solutions filed
for protection from creditors
under Chapter 11 of the U.S.
Bankruptcy Code. The filing
included Chef Solutions and
its operating company, Orval
Kent Food Co., which like
Resers, makes refrigerated
food items sold through gro-
ceries and food-service outlets.
Bloomberg reported on
Oct. 5 that Resers bid $36.44
million in cash and $25.3
million in secured debt and
$7.5 million in claims to win
the court-supervised auction
of Chef Solutions assets.
David Lakey, spokes-
man for Resers, confirmed
the figures are accurate.
The deal is expected
to close quickly.

reference
to an
unwanted
guest at a
residence
in that
area.
U p o n
of f i cer s
arrival, they met with the
complainant and Cole Le
Fevre, 26, of Delphos. As
officers spoke with Le Fevre,
he became increasing disor-
derly. After several attempts
to calm Le Fevre, officers
placed him under arrest. As
they did so, Le Fevre began
resisting officers at which
time officers used pepper
spray on Le Fevre. Le Fevre
continued to resist officers
and was ordered several times
to stop. Upon failing to do so,
officers used a tazer on Le
Fevre.
Le Fevre was taken for
medical attention and after-
wards was taken to the Van
Wert County Jail where he
was booked in on charges of
persistent disorderly conduct
and resisting arrest. He will
appear in Van Wert Municipal

Dear EarthTalk: I heard
that species of flora and
fauna are dying at a grow-
ing rate globally. How is
this calculated and which
types of species are dwin-
dling faster?
Colin Gooder,
Franklin, NC

Researchers believe that
the rate of species loss cur-
rently underway is 100-1,000
times faster than what was
normal (the so-called back-
ground rate of extinction)
prior to human overpopula-
tion and its negative envi-
ronmental effects. But thanks
to overhunting, deforestation,
pollution, the spread of non-
native species and now cli-
mate change, we are likely
in the midst of the sixth mass
extinction in the geologic his-
tory of the world. The previ-
ous mass extinction, 65 mil-
lion years ago, wiped out the
dinosaurs and other species;
the previous one, 250 mil-
lion years ago, killed off 90
percent of all species on the
planet.
While the current mass
extinction might in reality not
be that badonly time will
telleminent Harvard biolo-
gist E.O. Wilson predicts that
the rate of species loss could
top 10,000 times the back-
ground rate by 2030, and that
fully half of the planets high-
er life forms could be gone
within 100 years. This jibes
with statistics from the non-
profit International Union for
the Conservation of Nature
(IUCN)keeper of the glob-
al Red List of endangered
specieswhich currently
considers 37.8 percent of
the worlds already classi-
fied species to be threatened.
Of course, this is far from
the whole story, as biologists
think that we have only clas-
sified 10 percent or less of the
worlds total number of plant
and animal species.
Which types of species are
being hit hardest? An analysis
of IUCN statistics from 2008
found that of the worlds
fauna (animals), invertebrates
(animals without backbones,
such as earthworms, shellfish
and insects) were suffering
the most, with 40.5 percent
of those classified considered
threatened. Next hardest hit
were fish species, with 36.6
percent threatened, followed
by reptiles at 30.5 percent
and amphibians at 30.4 per-
cent. Meanwhile, 20.8 per-
cent of mammal species were
threatened and 12.2 percent
of birds.
More shocking was the
statistic that some 70.1 per-
cent of plant species are at
risk. However, a more recent
(2010) study found that only
22 percent of the worlds clas-
sified plants are actually fac-
ing extinction. This finding
has led analysts to question
conservationists estimates in
regard to animal species loss
as well.
In lieu of any direct way
to measure the rate of spe-
cies loss, conservationists
have relied on reversing the
so-called species-area rela-
tionship, whereby scientists
tally the number of species
in a given area and then esti-
mate how quickly more show
up or evolve as viable habitat
increases (or decreases in the
case of reversing the concept).
But lately this method of
tracking and predicting spe-
cies losses has been criticized
for generating overestimates.
The overestimates can be
very substantial, argues
UCLA evolutionary biologist
Stephen Hubbell, ...but we
are not saying [extinction]
does not exist.
However many species
may be dying, its clear we are
in the midst of another mass
extinction, and if you believe
70 percent of biologists,
unlike previous mass extinc-
tions humanity is most likely
the cause. Conservationists
remain optimistic that we can
marshal the resources to turn
the tideand well need to if
the planet is to remain habit-
able for our species, given
our own dependencies on the
worlds biodiversity.

child, and says I will deal
with this; I apologize and
you will not see him or her
again, we usually dont,
Fittro said.
The chief added that bad kids
can come from good parents
and good kids can come from
bad parents but the patterns he
expressed hold true, nonethe-
less. Ohio State University at
Lima Assistant Professor of
Psychology Virginia Tompkins
said there is a lot of research
that supports the patterns Fittro
has observed.
He is describing two of
the four parenting styles iden-
tified in psychology; these
are the authoritative and
permissive parenting styles.
Authoritative parents are lov-
ing and affirming but they
also set clear expectations
and limits for their children,
she said. There are conse-
quences when rules are bro-
ken but the parents couple
discipline with warmth and
understanding. So, they are
affectionate with their chil-
dren but the kids know the
rules and what will happen if
they break them.
Permissive parents are
warm with their children but,
pretty much, let them get
away with everything. There
is a lot of research on these
styles and the authoritative
parenting style is associated
with better adolescent out-
comes, from better grades
in school to having fewer
delinquency problems, as
well. The permissive style
is definitely associated with
greater delinquency because
those parents arent teach-
ing their children impulse-
control. The kids dont know
how to regulate their behav-
ior and because they arent
given consequences, they
dont learn how to behave in
a mature way.
Tompkins said she sees
young people come to college
unable to deal with failure.
When children get a soccer
trophy simply by showing up
for a game, they may not
develop the coping skills
they will need in the adult
world. Parents who give chil-
dren too much affirmation
may set them up for hardship
when they encounter differ-
ent leadership styles in the
workplace.
I think a lot of parents are
torn. They want to give warmth
and support but they are afraid
to be the bad guy. They
want to be their childs friend;
they want to bolster their self-
esteem but they really arent
doing them any favors. There
is a lot of research that sug-
gests rewarding children when
they havent earned it isnt
good for them. That sounds
harsh but thats reality, she
concluded.
I think a lot of
parents are torn.
They want to give

port but they are

bad guy. They

State reaches tentative
agreement with union
By ANN SANNER
The Associated Press
COLUMBUS Ohios
largest state employee union
reached a tentative deal with
state officials on Wednesday
to extend its current contract
until 2015, the first bargain-
ing agreement following the
defeat of the states conten-
tious union law.
Leaders in the Ohio
Civil Service Employees
Association credited last
weeks voter repeal of the col-
lective bargaining restrictions
with allowing them to better
negotiate their contract.
The deal was struck more
than three months before the
current contract is sched-
uled to expire. The unions
president called the extension
unprecedented.
Not only did we win at
the ballot box, now weve
won at the bargaining table,
Kathy Stewart, the associa-
tions secretary-treasurer,
said in a statement.
More than 61 percent of
voters rejected the measure,
which limited the collective
bargaining rights of Ohios
more than 350,000 teachers,
firefighters, state employ-
ees and other public work-
ers. Among other provisions,
public employees would have
been required to pay at least
15 percent of their health
insurance.
The state employees union
represents about 34,000
workers whose jobs range
from administrative to secu-
rity positions.
The unions current
contract already required
employees to contribute 15
percent toward their health
care, but the union says the
laws repeal allowed labor
leaders to discuss their health
care benefits at the negotiat-
ing table.
We have negotiated what
we believe to be a fair and
reasonable agreement, said
Molly OReilly, a spokes-
woman for the states
Department of Administrative
Services. She said additional
details about the deal would
be available later.
The tentative agreement
between the union and state
was reached in 48 hours, the
groups president Christopher
Mabe said in an interview.
The parties typically bargain
over several months to work
out a new three-year con-
tract.
The deal retains many
current contract provisions
between the union and the
state. However, it doesnt
include some of the conces-
sions the union made in the
first two years of its cur-
rent agreement furlough days
or freezes on personal leave
that were contained in the
first two years of the current
agreement that is set to expire
at the end of February.
Union members must still
vote on the agreement, a vote
that will likely come after
Thanksgiving, said union
spokeswoman Sally Meckling.
The State Controlling Board
would also have to have to
approve the contract before it
could take effect.
The union was the first of
the state employees unions
to negotiate their contract
with Ohio officials since the
collective bargaining law was
tossed out, Meckling said.
Mabe said it was the first
time the union has agreed to
such an extension.
But we came to the con-
clusion, you know, weve got
something that really works
here and it works well, Mabe
said. And we didnt want to
get involved in any kind of
battle. We wanted to get back
on to the business of the state
of Ohio and the citizens of
the state of Ohio and keeping
those interests in mind.
State employees wouldnt
see their base wages increase
under the tentative three-
year agreement. Their cur-
rent three-year contract also
didnt increase their base
pay. Certain automatic wage
increases that relatively new
state employees receive under
current law would continue
to apply. The repealed col-
lective bargaining law would
have done away with those
increases and based pay on
performance.
Mabe said the union was
mindful of Ohios budget
constraints in not asking for
a boost in base wages.
We understand the eco-
nomic status of the state,
were aware of it and we
react to it, Mabe said. We
understand that the taxpay-
ers have needs also and we
wanted to acknowledge those
needs.
Ohio mom upset
over police
handling of kids
WESTERVILLE (AP)
Police in central Ohio went
over the top when they hand-
cuffed and placed an 8-year-
old boy and 7-year-old girl in
a holding cell after an incident
on a school bus, a lawyer for
their mother said Wednesday.
Attorney Byron Potts said
Tonya Mitchells children
were terrified, have had night-
mares and are afraid of police
since the Oct. 19 incident, The
Columbus Dispatch reported.
A police report says the
boy shoved a bus driver,
nearly knocking her over, and
the girl pushed and threat-
ened to punch a principal at
Pointview Elementary School
in Westerville.
The children were taken to
the police station after an offi-
cer said they were belligerent,
loud and disruptive. Disorderly
conduct charges filed against
them were dropped at Franklin
County juvenile court because
of the ages of the children,
police said.
Potts says both children
have been expelled for 80
days.
Mitchell is considering a
lawsuit. Westerville police
Chief Joseph Morbitzer and
Westerville schools spokes-
man Greg Viebranz said they
could not comment because of
possible litigation.

phone at the jail for business
and for contact with his legal
team, provided the telephone
numbers of the alleged victim
and her family were blocked
and unable to be dialed. Steele
indicated that those motions
would probably be approved.
Fishbein was arraigned on
21 felony and two misdemeanor
counts of telecommunications
harassment on Nov. 9. Those
charges stem from the accusa-
tion of making 300-400 calls
to a 22-year-old female former
employee, some of those calls
being threatening in nature.
He later was caught violating
terms set by the court when he used
his cell phone from the courthouse
lobby immediately following his
arraignment hearing last week.

NEW YORK The
Republican Party and the tea
party seemed to be a natu-
ral political pairing. But
what may have seemed like
another politically beneficial
alliance Democrats and
Occupy Wall Street hasnt
happened.
Although both Democrats
and the Occupy protesters
have similar views on eco-
nomic inequality and cor-
porate responsibility, each
holds the other at arms
length. Theres little benefit
to Democrats in opening their
arms wide to a scruffy group
that has erupted in violence,
defied police and shown
evidence of drug use while
camping in public parks
across the country much
as the prospect of such a pair-
ing delights Republicans.
Many protesters are con-
temptuous of Democrats,
arguing that both political
parties are equally beholden
to corporate interests and
responsible for enacting poli-
cies that have hurt the middle
class. They are disillusioned
with Obama and have no
interest in helping him or
other Democratic candidates.
The Occupy movement
is rooted in the idea that the
political system is broken to
such a degree that we can
no longer work through the
Republican or Democratic
parties, Tim Franzen, a
spokesman for Occupy
Atlanta, said.
This is not about politics.
This is about people, said
Marsha Spencer, an Occupy
volunteer in New York.
Weve lost our government.
Its not by the people, for the
people anymore. We need to
get it back, and we dont need
a political party to do that.
Such talk has frustrated
some Democratic leaders,
who say engaging elector-
al politics would make the
Occupy Wall Street move-
ment more effective.
I want them to get up
and start registering vot-
ers, start playing towards
the 2012 election, for-
mer Pennsylvania Gov. Ed
Rendell said at a seminar at
Harvard University last week.
Not just the presidential, but
congressional and Senate
elections and state legislative
elections. Thats where they
can make real change.
At least one candidate
seems to be channeling the
energy of the Occupy Wall
Street movement: Democrat
Elizabeth Warren, a Harvard
Law School professor chal-
lenging Republican Sen. Scott
Brown in Massachusetts.
Warrens campaign has
drawn national attention after
she described how the rich
should pay more in taxes
since they had benefited the
most from government poli-
cies. Warren later claimed
to have laid the intellectual
foundation for the Occupy
movement but stressed that
protesters need to obey the
law.
While Warrens campaign
has drawn intense grass-roots
enthusiasm an estimated
1,000 people jammed a vol-
unteer meeting in Boston on
Sunday Republicans are
eager to turn her ties to the
Occupy movement against
her.
Labor leaders say the
movements message of eco-
nomic inequality was a factor
in Ohio, where voters over-
whelmingly repealed a law
curtailing public employees
right to collective bargaining.
And some are crediting the
movement with successfully
pressuring Bank of America
to drop its plan to charge
customers a $5 monthly fee
to use their bank cards.
Occupy Wall Street, Dems not quite buddies

WASHINGTON
Democrats and Republicans
rallied on a rare patch of
common ground Wednesday
and Congress approved leg-
islation helping government
contractors and unemployed
veterans, finally giving
President Barack Obama the
chance to sign the first, tiny
shred of his $447 billion jobs
bill into law.
The House sent the bill
to the White House by an
overwhelming 422-0, six
days after the Senate passed
it 95-0.
The legislation creates tax
breaks for companies hiring
jobless veterans a part of
Obamas jobs plan and
beefs up vets job-training
and counseling programs.
It also repeals a 2006 law
that would require the federal,
state and local governments
to withhold 3 percent of their
payments to contractors. That
statute, which doesnt take
effect until 2013, was sup-
posed to pressure contractors
to fully pay their taxes, but
lawmakers now say the with-
holding would deny cash to
companies that they could
better use to hire more work-
ers.
Obamas signature would
let him and lawmakers claim
credit for protecting jobs at a
time when the public is clear-
ly furious over the nations
unemployment rate, which
has been stuck at around 9
percent. Despite the unity
shown Wednesday, the days
debate underscored the stark
gulf that separates the two
parties over how to fix the
struggling economy, a divi-
sion that is likely to dominate
next years presidential and
congressional elections.
Republicans said it was
time for the Senate to approve
nearly 20 House-passed bills
that they say would create
jobs, mostly by repealing
or blocking energy regula-
tions and others, and touted
Wednesdays vote as part of
that drive.
It sends a message to
Americas job creators that
jobs are our No. 1 priority
and that Congress is commit-
ted to undoing policies that
stand in the way of restoring
prosperity, said Rep. Wally
Herger, R-Calif.
Rep. Sander Levin said the
bills provisions were modest
steps toward resuscitating the
ailing job market and said
Republicans needed to go
much further.
Passage of this bill repre-
sents a challenge to the major-
ity in this House: End your
blockade of comprehensive
jobs legislation proposed
by Obama, the Michigan
Democrat said.
The presidents jobs bill,
introduced in September but
mostly shunned by Congress,
would continue reduced pay-
roll taxes for workers and
employers, extend unem-
ployment insurance benefits
and provide money to build
roads, modernize schools and
hire teachers, police and fire-
fighters.
In a written statement from
the White House, Obama
congratulated both parties
for approving the veterans
tax credits, took credit for
proposing them and prodded
lawmakers to go further.
This is a good first step,
but it is only a step, he said.
Congress needs to pass the
rest of my American Jobs Act
so that we can create jobs and
put money in the pockets of
the middle class.
Senate Minority Leader
Mitch McConnell, R-Ky.,
returned the favor. In a writ-
ten statement, he tweaked
Obama by urging him to hold
a bipartisan signing ceremo-
ny and to invite Sen. Scott
Brown, R-Mass., who had
introduced a 3 percent with-
holding bill.
McConnell said inviting
Brown would spotlight that
there are plenty of House-
passed bipartisan jobs bills
that we can all agree on if
only Senate Democrats would
bring them up for a vote.
Congress easily OKs
bill for vets, contractors

URBANDALE, Iowa
Rising in polls and receiving
greater scrutiny, Republican
presidential candidate Newt
Gingrich found himself on the
defensive Wednesday over
huge payments he received
over the past decade from the
mortgage giant Freddie Mac.
Gingrich, who now is near
the top in polling on the GOP
race, said he didnt remem-
ber exactly how much he was
paid, but a person familiar
with the hiring said it was at
least $1.6 million for con-
sulting contracts stretching
from 1999 to early 2008. The
person spoke on condition of
anonymity in order address a
personnel matter.
Long unpopular among
Republicans, federally backed
Freddie Mac and its larger
sister institution, Fannie Mae,
have become targets for criti-
cism stemming from the hous-
ing crisis that helped drive
the nation deep into recession
and then hampered recovery.
Gingrich himself criticized
Barack Obama in 2008 for
accepting contributions from
executives of the two com-
panies.
Speaking with reporters in
Iowa on Wednesday, Gingrich
said he provided strate-
gic advice for a long period
of time after he resigned
as House speaker follow-
ing his partys losses in the
1998 elections. He defended
Freddie Macs role in hous-
ing finance and said, every
American should be interested
in expanding housing oppor-
tunities.
On Tuesday, a House
committee voted to strip top
executives of Freddie Mac
and Fannie Mae of huge sala-
ries and bonuses and to put
them on the same pay scale
as federal employees. After
disastrous losses, both com-
panies were taken over by
the government in 2008, and
since then a federal regulator
has controlled their financial
decisions.
During the 2008 campaign,
Gingrich suggested in a Fox
News interview that presiden-
tial candidate Obama should
return contributions he had
received from executives of
the two companies. He said
that in a debate with Obama,
GOP presidential nominee
John McCain should have
turned and said, Senator
Obama, are you prepared to
give back all the money that
Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae
gave you?
Gi ngri ch sought
Wednesday to portray his his-
tory with Freddie Mac as a
sign of valuable experience.
It reminds people that
I know a great deal about
Washington, he said. We
just tried four years of ama-
teur ignorance, and it didnt
work very well. So having
someone who actually knows
Washington might be a really
good thing.
At least one of his rivals
assailed him over the matter.
It doesnt matter if its
$300,000 or $2 million, the
point is the money that was
taken by Newt Gingrich was
taken to influence Republicans
in Congress to be in sup-
port of Fannie and Freddie,
Minnesota Rep. Michele
Bachmann said in a telephone
interview. While Newt was
taking money from Fanny and
Freddie I was fighting against
them.
Fannie Mae and Freddie
Mac buy home loans from
banks and other lenders, pack-
age them into bonds with a
guarantee against default and
then sell them to investors
around the world. The two
own or guarantee about half of
all U.S. mortgages and nearly
all new mortgage loans.
Gingrichs history at
Freddie Mac began in 1999,
when he was hired by the com-
panys top lobbyist, Mitchell
Delk. He was brought in for
strategic consulting, primarily
on legislative and regulatory
issues, the company said at
the time. That job, which paid
about $30,000 a month, lasted
until sometime in 2002.
In 2006, Gingrich was hired
again on a two-year contract
that paid him $300,000 annu-
ally, again to provide strate-
gic advice while the company
fended off attacks from the
right wing of the Republican
Party.

WASHINGTON (AP)
U.S. manufacturing is recov-
ering from a slump, and infla-
tion may be peaking.
Data issued Wednesday
point to an economy growing
slowly but steadily. Still, surg-
ing oil prices and a possible
European recession threaten to
drain the economys momen-
tum.
The continued resilience
of manufacturing is encourag-
ing, since this should be the
sector most exposed to the
global economic slowdown,
said Paul Ashworth, chief
U.S. economist with Capital
Economics.
Output at the nations
factories, utilities and mines
rose 0.7 percent last month,
the Federal Reserve said
Wednesday. It was the fastest
growth in three months.
Factory output, the larg-
est component of industrial
production, increased a solid
0.5 percent. That marked the
fourth straight monthly gain.
Factories made more trucks,
electronics and business
equipment.
Manufacturers are ben-
efiting from the strong growth
in emerging markets, and
domestic businesses are con-
fident enough in the future to
continue expanding purchases
of capital equipment, said
Daniel Meckstroth, chief econ-
omist for the Manufacturers
Alliance/MAPI, a trade
group.
A separate report from the
Labor Department showed
Americans paid less for gas,
cars and computers last month
as overall prices fell for the
first time since June.
Slower inflation could give
the Federal Reserve more lee-
way to lower long-term inter-
est rates to help the economy.
In the current soft eco-
nomic environment, inflation
is not an issue for policy-
makers, said Jennifer Lee,
an economist at BMO Capital
Markets.
Factory production was
dragged down this spring after
the Japanese earthquake and
tsunami disrupted key sup-
ply chains for automakers and
other manufacturers. Rising
food and gas costs and shaky
financial markets caused con-
sumers to cut back on big
purchases.
The auto industry has
rebounded to drive most of
the growth in factory output.
Many U.S. auto plants, which
depend upon parts from Japan
to produce various models,
are seeing supply chains flow
more freely.
Production of motor vehi-
cles and parts rose 3.1 percent
in October, the fourth straight
monthly gain. Light trucks
were the biggest contributor.
Higher output at auto plants
has allowed dealers to stock
popular models that were
in demand this spring. As a
result, October sales were 8
percent higher than the same
month last year.
A steep drop in gas prices
was a key reason the Consumer
Price Index dropped 0.1 per-
cent in October. Food prices
rose, but at the slowest pace
this year. Excluding volatile
food and energy costs, so-
called core prices rose 0.1
percent.
Still, oil prices have been
climbing in recent weeks and
hit $100 a barrel Wednesday
for the first time in four
months. They have been ris-
ing as the economy improves
while tensions increase in
countries that hold some of
the worlds major sources of
crude.

Under the Covers ...
With Sara Berelsman
This month I was going
to review a very profound
book on Thanksgiving, a
historical piece that would
shed some light on the real-
ity of how the holiday came
about, something that would
leave everyone in awe of the
truth, and most definitely
make it impossible to view
Thanksgiving
the same way
ever again.
But instead
I decided
to review
P l a n e s ,
Trains and
Automobiles.
W h i l e
this is obvi-
ously not a
new release
(or a book),
it is some-
thing that I
feel would
appeal much
more to most
people as
Thanksgiving
approaches.
No, it doesnt
shed any light on the history
of Thanksgiving but it is a
heart-warming story that is
appropriate for this time of
year, since the plot centers
around two men attempting
to get home in time to cel-
ebrate the holiday with their
families.
Released in 1987, many of
you have undoubtedly seen
this. I urge you, though; if
its been a while, to watch
it again. This has become
Thanksgivings answer to
Its a Wonderful Life at our
house, as Ive been watching
it every year right before the
holiday, starting a few years
ago (which was when I first
saw the
film in its
entirety). I
have shown
this film in
my college
c o u r s e s ,
t h o u g h
(with an
a s s i g n -
ment built
around it,
of course)
and they all
loved it. It
appeals to
many gen-
e r a t i o n s .
(Not for
c hi l dr e n,
t h o u g h .
Theres a
little lan-
guage.)
John Hughes is well-
known for his teen comedies,
but this is one adults can
relate to especially when
it comes to the hassles of
traveling something that
anyone who has ever traveled
would have experienced at
least once. Sure, its over-the-
top. Its goofy. Its cheesy.
But its funny. I truly didnt
appreciate it when I watched
bits and pieces of it years
and years ago as I recall my
parents viewing it. And the
humor of John Candy and
Steve Martin should be appre-
ciated. This movie came out
when comedy didnt have to
try so hard, it didnt have to
beat the audience over the
head with a concept or push
the envelope so far just to
stand out. Its just an outland-
ish, funny movie.
While the overall plot cen-
ters around two men who
continually seem to wind up
together as they try to make
their way home for the holi-
days, and all the shenanigans
that ensue, at the core of
this movie is love. I laugh
my way through for the most
part, but the end does bring
a tear to my eye, as it brings
home the real meaning of
Thanksgiving for most of us
a time to spend with our
families and loved ones, and
a time to really be thankful
for what we have.

Sara Berelsman lives in
Delphos with her husband
and their two daughters and
leads the book club discus-
sions at the Delphos Public
Library. She is thankful for
the above movie, 1 of 10 she
and her husband can agree
on.

Elida senior Reggie McAdams, seated center, officially signs his national letter-
of-intent Wednesday to play basketball for the Akron Zips of the Mid-American
Conference starting next fall. Seated with him are his parents, Brent and Vicki
McAdams. Standing are his grandparents, Ron and Barb McAdams; Elida head coach
Dennis Thompson and his younger siblings, Isaac and Torie McAdams.

Coach K you know, the
Duke mens basketball coach
with the unspellable name
unless you cut and paste it
is now the winningest mens
Division I college basketball
coach of all time, passing the
legendary Robert Montgomery
The General Knight.
Coach K credits what he
learned as a player for Knight
and his assistant at West Point
for his success, how
he prepared so well
and was so intense
about how to do
things.
It is amazing
how he is so unlike
his mentor at
least publicly.
Knight was
known just as much
for his antics on the sideline
and in practice they are just
as legendary as his basket-
ball genius; he knew the game
inside and out and was a great
teacher of the game, no ques-
tion. The motion offense he
ran is quite a bit still in vogue,
alongside the flex, the second-
ary, the triangle and now the
dribble-drive.
I am sure Coach K has
raised his voice a time or two
in practice and in games
but not nearly as much as
Knight, or at least we havent
heard the sordid details from
former players.
Still, his drive for excel-
lence and lets admit it, that
is what Sir Bobby was after
is just as intense, just done in a
different manner.
Just think if youre a
22-year-old (make that about
30) starting as a college head
coach; all you have to do to
pass Coach K who likely
will be around at least a few
more years, God willing, and
with his recruiting prowess
will probably end up some-
where around 1,100 wins
before he hangs up the whistle
is average 27 wins (give
or take a couple) for 40 years.
Good luck!
Congrats.
This Penn State story is
becoming an ever-growing
circle.
NO soap opera could match
this real-life situation.
It is sad that a once-great
football coach Joe Paterno
will forever have his lega-
cy tainted because of ... who
knows what to believe any-
more.
Before its all said and
done, we will know the ins
and outs of who did what, who
didnt do what, shoe sizes,
what kinds of coats everyone
wears, etc.
The 24-hour media chan-
nels wont let us forget it and
they will keep on this story
like a bloodhound on a scent.
In some ways, that is good.
This is riveting and very
important stuff, when you
know what we are dealing
with here; the alleged abuse of
boys. I write alleged because
we do presume innocence until
proven guilty but this looks
fishy somewhere he admit-
ted in his interview with Bob
Costas Monday that he was
involved with horseplay with
the boys in the shower or the
locker room or what have you
and it isnt in Denmark.
His lawyer also claimed
that the alleged victims will
come forward to exonerate
Jerry Sandusky.
I am interested to see
what happens with Mike
McQueary, the assistant coach
for the Nittany Lions who is
on administrative leave. As
you may have heard, he now
claims he stopped the incident
and then called his dad
huh? told JoePa about and
called the police.
Well, neither the PSU police
department OK, probably
not really equipped to handle
something like this nor the
State College department can
apparently back up that claim.
Ouch!
While were at it, I have
heard another claim made to
friends of mine that this is like
the Ohio State University story
but the Buckeye accusations
are worse.
Excuse me but the Penn
State issue is about a CRIME
against a child; OSUs, though
it is bad, is about violations of
NCAA rules.
NOT EVEN CLOSE!
As I wrote last week, there
are some bloggers that have
written that Pennsylvania State
University should impose its
own death penalty at least
for a year and start over
from scratch in 2013.
It isnt fair to the players
and coaches who had abso-
lutely nothing to do with this
situation or are THEY now
under the gun? but life isnt
fair.
I am starting to think that
this may be what has to happen
until it is all straightened out.
The way it sounds just
like in the OSU situation it
gets crazier and more involved
every day that passes.
Here is my final question:
what has been done and is
being done for the children
that were harmed by someone?
Something happened and that
something is disturbing any
way you slice it.
This is not a crime but
it should be; the demise of
the Non-existent ... National
Basketball Association.
The Players Union has
decertified and a couple of
them like Carmelo Anthony
and Kevin Durant have
filed anti-trust lawsuits in
court (now THAT will really
keep the negotiations going!)
because they claim that the
lockout has hindered their abil-
ity to make a living. I guess the
moolah they are making via
endorsements isnt very much
(!) but the longer this does go
on, those dollars will dry up
and they know it, so maybe
they have a point.
Of course, they could go to
Europe.
As I wrote before, some
people have wished this all
along.
It is sad that its come to
this.
They tell us they under-
stand the economy and all that
but do they? Do they know
that it is all-but-impossible to
go to ONE game a year and
not have to save for a year,
becoming even tougher when
many folks are still out of a job
or are under-employed?
I am not giving the owners
a pass, either; they are making
tons of money for sweetheart
lease deals of taxpayer-funded
arenas (most if not all).
Do any of them understand
how many jobs are going
down the drain the so-
called peripheral that pay
the bills for working stiffs
because of this childishness?
Are the players or owners
going to bail those guys and
gals out?
I have a bridge in Brooklyn
...
These grown men should
be ... spanked!!!

ELIDA Reggie
McAdams in preparing for
a Region 10 finals matchup
with Columbus Eastmoor
Academy Friday night in the
OHSAA gridiron playoffs.
That didnt stop him from
putting the finishing touch-
es on his plans after high
school as he officially inked
a national letter-of-intent to
play basketball for the Akron
Zips of the Mid-American
Conference.
Ever since I was little, I
played basketball. I dreamed
about it and played a lot; it
was something I wanted to
do, McAdams, a 6-6 point
guard, explained. Its a bit
ironic that I signed when
were in the football play-
offs but I am relieved to get
this decision over with and
get signed. I can go back to
focusing on what we have to
do Friday.
Though he is a point
guard, he noted that Akron
head coach Keith Dambrot
plans to groom him as a 2 or
3 guard, at least early on.
They like my versatility,
not only on the court but from
other sports. As I get experi-
ence, get stronger and more
mature, they are even talking
about giving me a shot to
be the point guard and even
the 4-man; again, they liked
my versatility on the floor,
McAdams said.
He also liked other things
about the Akron campus.
They have a great engi-
neering department; that is
one thing I looked at. Its also
got the full college experi-
ence but yet its close enough
for my parents, family and
friends to come watch the
games; plus, they also play
teams closer to here, like
Toledo and Bowling Green,
he continued.
When push came to shove,
the final two options did
come down to Akron and the
University of Toledo.
Mostly, the MAC schools,
like Miami, were after me.
I did talk with Dayton and
Wright State for a while but
in the end, it came down to
UT and Akron, he said. Its
big-time basketball.
I havent thought a lot
about my senior year here but
I am looking forward to just
being able to play and help
my team do well.
It is his leadership that
most impressed his coach at
Elida, Dennis Thompson.
For one, he is the first
boys basketball player weve
ever had sign to a Division I
scholarship; I am proud for
him, Thompson noted. I
remember watching him in a
seventh-grade game and how,
instead of shooting all the
time, which he could have,
he worked to make everyone
else better, to get everyone
involved. Hes been a leader
from the start.
Its great to have been
part of seeing him grow, not
just as a basketball player but
also as a person.
Thompson noted the ver-
satility of his player and its
attendant problem when
addressing his future.
He is versatile, which
ended up being a concern for
me when I talked to coach-
es, he added. I couldnt
tell them if he was playing
football or basketball. Once
he decided basketball, then
it was full go, aggressively
going after this.
McAdams joins a 3-man
recruiting class that Dambrot
inked in the early-signing
period, along with Carmelo
Betancourt (San Juan, Puerto
Rico) and Jake Kretzer
(Waverly, Ohio).
We fulfilled our immedi-
ate needs by signing two big
wing players and a true point
guard, Dambrot wrote on
the schools web site. Our
goal was to continue to get
bigger on the wing and main-
tain a solid skill level at the
point.
McAdams is currently the
No. 5 recruit on the 2012
ESPNU Top Ohio Recruits
list.
Reggie is an outstanding
all-around athlete and is a
very diversified player with
the ability to catch and shoot
or create his own shot off
the dribble, Dambrot wrote.
He has a fantastic resume
and was recruited at a high
level.
McAdams headed to Akron for cage career
By BARRY WILNER
Pro Picks slumped like the
Chargers and Redskins, so
the early start to Week 11 is
welcomed.
The NFL put the New
York Jets in a difficult spot,
scheduling them for a Sunday
night game with the archrival
Patriots, then a trip to Denver
for a Thursday-nighter. To
compound things, New York
comes off a thrashing by New
England just when control
of the AFC East was within
reach.
Plus, tailback LaDainian
Tomlinson has a sprained
left knee, diminishing what
already is a spotty offense.
On defense, tackling issues
and an inability to get to
the quarterback resurfaced
against the Patriots.
Of course, Tim Tebow
resembles Tom Brady as
much as the Colts resemble
the Packers this year. Tebow
completed all of two throws
last week in a win at Kansas
City but one of them was
a 56-yarder to emerging
receiver Eric Decker.
With Knowshon Moreno
out and Willis McGahee
uncertain, Denver also has
problems in the backfield.
Which means an even heavi-
er concentration on Tebows
running.
You think of running
quarterbacks and
most guys are a
little more shifty
and kind of got
that make-you-miss
(style), Jets safety
Jim Leonhard said.
Hed rather run
you over than run
around you. Its just
different, a different mental-
ity. Hes more like a fullback
than a true tailback when he
runs the football.
And he will run the ball.
Tebow is 47-of-105 for
605 yards and seven touch-
downs and just one intercep-
tion and is Denvers second-
leading rusher with 320 yards
and two scores on only 48
carries.
I think you have to have
that mentality a little bit as a
football player, that mentality
that weve got to go in there
and set a tone with our physi-
cality and with how we play,
Tebow said. Ultimately, you
have to be ready to do what-
ever is asked of you: run,
pass, whatever it is, and as an
offense, be ready to adjust to
anything.
Anything probably doesnt
include lots of
passing. Nor a
victory for the 4
1/2-point under-
dog Broncos.

STATE COLLEGE, Pa.
Penn State is turning to a mem-
ber of its board of trustees who
played football and wrestled for
the school to serve as its acting
athletic director in the wake of
the Jerry Sandusky child sex-
abuse scandal.
Dr. David M. Joyner, a busi-
ness consultant and an ortho-
pedic surgeon who specializes
in sports medicine, will take
over the job performed until last
week by Tim Curley.
Curley is on leave as he
defends himself against criminal
charges that he failed to prop-

Sandusky allegedly sodomized
a young boy in the Penn State
football showers in 2002 and
that he lied to a grand jury.
PHOENIX The former
chief operating officer of the
Fiesta Bowl has been indicted
on charges of filing false income
tax returns for the bowl game,
the first charges against a former
official of one of the top national
college football bowls and Bowl
Championship Series member
since a scathing report led to the
firing of its president in March.
Natalie Wisneski, 47, also
faces federal campaign finance
and conspiracy charges over
allegations she solicited cam-

employees for federal, state and
local political candidates and
arranged for the bowl to repay
them.
Wisneski resigned from her
job in March, shortly after bowl

COLORADO SPRINGS,
Colo. Green Bay Packers
great Forrest Gregg, a man cel-
ebrated for his durability on the

ficult challenge away from the
gridiron.
Nicknamed Iron Man for
playing in a then-record 188
consecutive NFL games during
his Hall-of-Fame career, Gregg
told The Associated Press hes
been diagnosed with Parkinsons
disease.
Although the cause of the
debilitating neurological dis-

CINCINNATI Even
when A.J. Green is closely
covered, Andy Dalton doesnt
hesitate to throw his way and
let the 6-4 receiver try for a
spectacular catch.
Already, theres a chemistry
and trust between the Bengals
top two draft picks.
Cincinnatis rookie combi-
nation is fast becoming one of
the NFLs best. Theyve con-
nected for five touchdowns,
the fourth-highest total through
nine games for any NFL rookie
duo since 1970, when the AFL
and NFL merged.
These guys are not just
ordinary rookies, offensive
coordinator Jay Gruden said.
These guys are special players
and special athletes and special
at their positions.
They may not get a chance
to add to that touchdown total
this weekend in Baltimore.
Green hyperextended his right
knee while making a 36-yard
touchdown catch Sunday
against Pittsburgh and sat out
the second half.
He was limping slightly on
Wednesday and said itll prob-
ably be a game-time decision
whether he plays against the
Ravens.
Both teams are 6-3. The
winner moves into a first-place
tie with idle Pittsburgh (7-3) in
the AFC North.
Green said he had an MRI
that found a bruise. He lay
on the field when he landed
hard on his right leg Sunday
after catching the ball in the
end zone between two Steelers
safeties.
They say I dodged a bullet
just a bone bruise, Green
added. Everything looks good.
Just time and rest, a lot of treat-
ment and Ill be fine.
He was one of nine
Bengals held out of practice
on Wednesday. Green doubts
hell play if the knee feels the
same as it did on Wednesday.
Also, hes concerned about
making the injury worse.
Without Green, the Bengals
passing game declined. Theres
no one else that Dalton trusts
the way he does Green, who
showed from the first workout
in training camp that he can
adjust to the ball and catch it
over a defender.
Green is usually his best
option.
If we can get him one-on-
one or in a chance where he can
out-jump some people, we will
take that shot, said Dalton, a
second-round pick from TCU.
We will take our chances with
that one. It has paid off for us a
couple times.

AGRIBUSINESS
Farmers avoiding fed loan program
By ROXANA HEGEMAN
WICHITA, Kan.
Extreme drought withered
grain across the Great Plains.
Flooding from the Mississippi
and Missouri rivers drowned
corn and other crops from
Nebraska to Louisiana. A
tropical storm on the East
Coast submerged Carolina
tobacco fields and New
Jersey blueberry bushes.
When it comes to natu-
ral disasters, this has been a
monster year for farmers,
one agriculture official said.
Yet few farmers are taking
advantage of a federal loan
program aimed at helping
them recover. Only six states
have fewer than three-fourths
of their counties covered by
some type of disaster decla-
ration. In nearly half of the
states, every county has been
officially designated a disas-
ter area. That means thou-
sands of farms could apply
for emergency loans.
But an Associated Press
review of disaster loans
issued nationwide found the
Farm Service Agency made
fewer than 300, totaling just
$32.6 million, for the fis-
cal year ending Sept. 30. To
put that in perspective, Texas
alone is estimated to have
$1.5 billion in drought losses
this year.
Some farmers say they
arent taking out the loans
because recent high crop pric-
es have given them enough
money to bounce back on
their own. Others say they
havent applied for loans
because there are better aid
programs available.
Both reasons call into
question what should be done
with the federal emergency
loan program as members
of Congress look at what to
keep and what to cut
in the next five-year farm
bill. Many in agriculture say
the emergency loan program
should be preserved because
it helps those who cant get
other credit. But if Congress
wants it to be useful to most
farmers, it needs improve-
ment.
Vance Ehmke, who farms
near Healy in west-central
Kansas, said many farmers
havent applied for loans
because they dont need them.
Many have money saved after
several years of high grain
prices. And with the drought
in the South creating a hay
shortage, some corn and soy-
bean farmers have been able
to bale their failed crops to
sell as livestock feed.
This is fantastic, how
much money they are making
with failures, Ehmke said.
Farmers in a belt from
Texas to North Dakota also
tend to have crop insurance,
which Ehmke character-
ized as real generous. The
federal government subsi-
dizes farmers premiums,
and crop insurance is avail-
able throughout the nation,
although farmers in other
regions tend to use it less.
Crop insurance is a valu-
able program. That is one
thing with all this budget
cutting that is going on
that we want to make sure
we keep because it would
be pretty difficult to farm in
America without some kind
of risk management program
underneath you, said Steve
Baccus, president of the
Kansas Farm Bureau.
But Baccus, who also
farms, said he was still sur-
prised that no emergency
loans had been issued in
Kansas when the state had
been hit by both drought and
flooding. (This past year has
been a monster, said Arlyn
Stiebe, the Farm Service
Agencys loan director for
Kansas.)
Many farmers also hold
out for grants, and the
clincher for those considering
loans FSAs interest rate
on emergency loans is higher
than on its normal ones.
Along with emergency
loans, FSA offers disaster
grants under its Supplemental
Revenue Assistance Program
that dont have to be repaid
and are not surprisingly
far more popular. The main
problem with that program is
farmers must wait more than
a year to see any money. And,
farmers can only apply for
losses that happened before
Sept. 30 because the program
is ending next year.
Farmers, however, will
still be able to get loans at
lower interest rates through
the FSAs normal farm loan
program. Its at 1.75 percent
now, compared to 3.75 per-
cent for emergency loans.
Usually, its the other way
around, but interest rates
overall have plunged. An
FSA official said if the agen-
cy lowers its interest rate for
emergency loans, however,
less money will be available
to make future loans.
Crop insur-
ance is a valuable
program. That is
one thing with
all this budget cut-
ting that is going
on that we
want to make sure
we keep because
it would be pretty
difficult to farm
in America with-
out some kind
of risk manage-
ment program
underneath you.

NEW YORK Moments
after his team lost a day-
night doubleheader at Yankee
Stadium in late September,
Joe Maddon wandered into
the Tampa Bay clubhouse.
The twin defeats left the
Rays in a precarious position
with only a week remaining
in the regular season. Rather
than raise his voice, Maddon
delivered a simple message.
You guys are great,
Maddon recalled telling them,
and I know you can still do
this.
Eternally optimis-
tic, Maddon won the AL
Manager of the Year award
Wednesday. He certainly
clinched the honor in the last
month, when Tampa Bay
overcame a 9-game deficit
and trumped Boston for the
wild-card spot.
Kirk Gibson, meanwhile,
took a more stern approach
starting in spring training.
He even brought three Navy
SEALs to camp.
The SEALs wrote D, W
and I on a board. The letters
stood for a sense of purpose,
not a traffic offense: Deal
With It.
They bought into
it, Gibson, voted the NL
Manager of the Year after
the guiding the Arizona
Diamondbacks to a worst-
to-first finish, recalled dur-
ing a conference call while
on vacation in northern
Michigan. I certainly had a
vision. Its certainly not all
because of me.
Gibson was a clear choice
for guiding the Diamondbacks
to a runaway NL West title.
A former MVP as a rough-
and-tumble outfielder, he was
honored in his first full sea-
son as a big-league manager.
Maddon was an easy pick
in winning the AL award for
the second time. The Rays
made the biggest September
rally in baseball history for
a team that claimed a playoff
berth, sealing it on the final
day of the regular season.
I like to think of it as a
validation of the Rays way
of doing things, Maddon
said of the award during a
conference call while vis-
iting family and friends in
Hazleton, Pa.
Maddon led Tampa Bay
to the playoffs for the third
time in four years. After
that, his name popped up in
speculation about managerial
openings with Boston, the
Chicago Cubs and St. Louis.
The Cardinals have already
hired Mike Matheny.
The awards were
announced by the Baseball
Writers Association of
America. The NL Cy Young
winner will be revealed
today, with Clayton Kershaw
of the Los Angeles Dodgers
the leading candidate.
Gibson and the
Diamondbacks went 94-68,
a year after he took over in
mid-season as Arizona went
65-97. Stressing fundamen-
tals and details from the first
day of camp, the 54-year-old
Gibson pushed his team into
the playoffs, where it lost to
Milwaukee in the 10th inning
of the deciding Game 5 in the
opening round.
Gibson drew 28 of the 32
first-place votes and got 152
points. He was the only man-
ager in either league to be
listed on every ballot.
Ron Roenicke of the NL
Central champion Brewers
was second with three first-
place votes and 92 points.
Tony La Russa of the World
Series champion Cardinals
was third with the other first-
place vote and 24 points.
Voting was completed before
the start of the playoffs.
The 57-year-old Maddon
added to the AL honor he
won in 2008.
The Rays cut $30 million
in payroll during the win-
ter, losing the likes of Carl
Crawford, Matt Garza and
Carlos Pena. The Rays big
addition, slugger Manny
Ramirez, retired during the
first week instead of facing
a 100-game suspension for
a second positive test for a
performance-enhancing sub-
stance.
The Rays overcame an 0-6
start and injuries to star Evan
Longoria and others, relying
on a pitching staff anchored
by All-Stars James Shields
and David Price and recently
picked AL Rookie of the Year
Jeremy Hellickson.
Tampa Bay won its final
five games, rallying from
a 7-0 deficit against the
Yankees on the last day to
finish 91-71 and earn a play-
off spot. The Rays lost to
Texas in the first round.
Maddon drew 26 out of 28
first-place votes and had 133
points. Jim Leyland of the
AL Central champion Detroit
Tigers got the other pair of
first-place votes and 54 points
and Ron Washington of the
AL champion Rangers was
third with 31.
Gibson was a 2-time
World Series champion, win-
ning with Detroit and the
Dodgers. He was the fourth
former MVP to win the
manager award, joining Joe
Torre, Frank Robinson and
Don Baylor.
As a player, Gibson
acknowledged he sometimes
was a little emotional ... a
little stupid. As a manager,
you cant lose your compo-
sure.
Gibson and Bob Melvin
(2007) have won the manager
award with Arizona. Gibson
received a 3-year contract
extension after the season,
with options for two more
years.
Brewers sizing up future
with or without Fielder
MILWAUKEE The
Milwaukee Brewers are con-
sidering their options while
star slugger Prince Fielder
tests the free-agent market.
With or without him, they
want to be a force again in the
NL Central.
GM Doug Melvin has
plans for both scenarios. He
says the Brewers, who won
the division title in 2011,
are balancing the finances of
Fielders potential salary ver-
sus filling holes for 2012.
The 27-year-old Fielder
and St. Louis star Albert
Pujols are the biggest names
in the market this offseason.
Fielder, teaming with left-
fielder Ryan Braun, who
signed a 5-year, $105 million
extension in April, helped the
Brewers win the division title
and advance to the league
championship series.
Gibson, Maddon win Managers
of Year; La Russa 3rd

PRO BASKETBALL
Former NBA guard Cuttino
Mobley filed a lawsuit against
Madison Square Garden, accus-
ing the New York Knicks of pres-
suring him to retire as a way to
save approximately $19 million.
Mobley retired because of
hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, a
heart disease, shortly after the
Knicks acquired him from the
Los Angeles Clippers on Nov.
21, 2008. He knew he had an
irregularity with the heart but an
MRI exam the team ordered after
his physical revealed the more
serious condition.
The lawsuit filed in the
Southern District of New York
contends the Knicks knew of
Mobleys condition but pushed
to make the trade anyway, then
sent him to specialists they knew
would oppose him playing, so
insurance could pay his contract
and it wouldnt count against the
luxury tax.

Horoscope
By Bernice Bede Osol
Mom stepped
up, now
wants cash
Dear Annie: A few years
ago, my daughter was newly
married and pregnant. Neither
she nor her husband had a
job, so both sets of parents
took them in at various times
and helped when the baby
was born.
My son-in-law went back
to school and got a job, and
they finally moved
into a small house
of their own.
When my daugh-
ter decided to go
to nursing school,
we were delighted.
Again, both sets of
parents pitched in
and took care of
the baby. I also
fed her family
every day so they
wouldnt have
to spend money
they didnt have. When she
became pregnant again, we
stepped back up to the plate
and took care of their little
newborn girl.
My daughter now is an RN
and makes great money. Her
husband does decently, and
they have a lot to be thankful
for. When my daughter asked
me to continue babysitting,
I agreed, but only if I was
paid.
This really upset her, and
she now wont let me see the
kids. Her sister-in-law looks
after them for free, but only
for a few hours a day. My
daughter works nights and
doesnt get enough sleep in
the daytime because she must
attend to her children.
Am I being selfish for
wanting to be paid $400 a
month for child care along
with breakfast, lunch and
dinner? -- Sad Grandma in
Missouri
Dear Grandma: This
isnt about fairness, because
you are certainly entitled to
be paid for your services.
But you have changed the
dynamic between you and
your daughter. Youve turned
babysitting the grandchildren
into a business transaction.
Not only was your daugh-
ter caught off-guard, but
she obviously resents it. If
you need the money, talk
to your daughter about what
she thinks would be appropri-
ate, and see if you can work
this out. If you dont need
the money, we suggest you
babysit when you are willing,
without charge.
Dear Annie: What can
you do when your husbands
driving is driving you nuts?
Most of the time, he is OK,
but the tailgating, speed-
ing and unsafe lane changes
make me nauseated, and the
kids have thrown up more
times than I can count. -- Not
a NASCAR Fan
Dear Not a Fan: We
assume you have told your
husband how frightened you
are by his driving. Many men
equate reckless driving with
manliness, as if they have to
prove something. Tell him
its fine when he is in the car
alone, but you would appreci-
ate it if he would drive more
conservatively when you and
the children are with him. If
he refuses, we recommend
you drive yourself, get a
ride from someone
else, or take a bus,
train or cab to your
destination. He is
placing his family
at risk, and you do
not need to indulge
him.
Dear Annie:
Wish There Was
a Time Machine
said she missed
her college days.
Parents and stu-
dents should not
think of college as a four-
year vacation from real-
ity. The choice of school
and major far outweigh the
social advantages offered
by college campuses. A col-
lege education is an invest-
ment in the students future
that, like any investment,
could result in a financial
and career disaster if not
evaluated objectively. If
there is any doubt about the
students readiness, it would
be wise to enroll in a local
junior college or regional
state college campus.
I suggest Wish re-
enroll in a credible night
school program and select
a marketable major based
on her likes, employabil-
ity and chances of career
success. The next time she
starts feeling depressed and
sorry for herself, she should
go visit the childrens ICU
ward at her local hospital.
Volunteering there would
give her a dramatic shift
in attitude with a complete
loss of depression. -- Crown
Point, Ind.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Two
friends who dont know each other
might be trying to reach you today.
Respond to both because each will
have his or her own special reason for
wanting to touch base with you.

Details unfold in shots fired at White House
By JESSICA GRESKO and
BRETT ZONGKER
Associated Press
WASHINGTON A man clad in black
who was obsessed with President Barack Obama
pulled his car within view of the White House at
night and fired shots from an assault rifle, crack-
ing a window of the first familys living quarters
while the president was away, authorities said
about their still-developing investigation.
The U.S. Secret Service found two bullets
had hit the White House and agents caught
up with Oscar Ramiro Ortega-Hernandez in
Pennsylvania on Wednesday after a four-day
search. Police arrested the 21-year-old Idaho
man at a hotel after a desk clerk recognized his
picture. Ortega was scheduled to make his first
appearance at 2 p.m. today in federal court in
Pittsburgh and many questions remained about
his motive and background.
Authorities are investigating the mans
mental health and say there are indications he
believed attacking the White House was part of
a personal mission from God, according to two
different law enforcement officials who spoke
with The Associated Press. There are also
indications the man had become obsessed with
Obama and the White House, according to the
officials, who spoke on the condition of ano-
nymity because the investigation is ongoing.
Shots were fired at the building Friday night.
Agents discovered Tuesday that one of the two
bullets hit the exterior and a second cracked a
window on the second floor residential level,
just behind the rounded portico visible from
the south side of the White House.
That bullet was stopped by protective bal-
listic glass. The window that was hit is in front
of the so-called Yellow Oval Room, which is
in the middle of the familys living quarters.
Obama and his wife Michelle were on a
trip to California and Hawaii at the time of the
shooting. The president has since traveled on
to Australia on a nine-day Asia-Pacific tour.
The Obamas were in California without daugh-
ters Malia and Sasha, but the White House had
no immediate comment on the shooting or who
may have been home at the time.
Investigators believe Ortega fired the rifle
from his vehicle Friday, according to an official
with knowledge of the investigation. Gunshots
were reported that night on Constitution
Avenue about 9:30 p.m. Soon after, U.S. Park
Police found an abandoned vehicle, the assault
rifle inside it, near a bridge leading out of the
nations capital to Virginia. The car led inves-
tigators to Ortega, and they obtained a warrant
for his arrest Sunday, officials said.
This is not the first time the White House
has come under attack.
In the last 40 years, the landmark has faced
threats ranging from a stolen helicopter that
landed on the grounds in 1974 to a man who
wielded a sawed-off shotgun on a sidewalk
outside in 1984. In 1994 alone, there were five
threats including a plane crash on the lawn and
a suspected drive-by shooting. Another man
fired at least 29 rounds from a semiautomatic
weapon, with 11 striking the White House.
Dan Bongino is a former Secret Service
agent who served on the presidential details
for Obama and President George W. Bush.
He said Fridays shooting would likely mean
tighter security and coordination.
They do an exhaustive review of their secu-
rity procedures every time something like this
happens, he said. Nothing ever works perfect-
ly. They will undress this completely and then
they will find out when they rebuild the incident
exactly what they could have done better.
Bongino, who recently left the Secret
Service to run for U.S. Senate in Maryland,
said it was doubtful that a gunman could strike
a target such as the White House from a mov-
ing car at the distance investigators suspect he
shot. It would require an incredible amount of
training to pull that off, he said, suggesting it
was more likely Ortega stopped his car to fire.
An official who spoke on the condition of
anonymity because the investigation is ongo-
ing said Ortega used a knockoff of an AK-47.
Late Wednesday, however, authorities had
not conclusively linked his gun to the rounds
found at the White House.
In the days after the gunfire, police distrib-
uted photos of Ortega. He had been stopped
and questioned Friday morning just across the
Potomac River from Washington in Arlington,
Va. Arlington police said they stopped him after
a report of suspicious behavior but released
him after photographing him because they had
no reason to make an arrest at that time.
Subsequently, a U.S. Park Police crime bul-
letin said he was known to have mental health
issues.
Ortega should be considered unstable with
violent tendencies, the bulletin stated.
Ortega was arrested Wednesday afternoon
without putting up resistance at a hotel near
Indiana, Pa., about 55 miles east of Pittsburgh,
the Secret Service said. He was in Pennsylvania
State Police custody.
State troopers said Ortega had visited the
hotel in recent days, and investigators believed
he was back in the area Wednesday. The Secret
Service passed out photographs and a desk
clerk recognized his picture and stalled him
while notifying police.
Ortega is from Idaho Falls, Idaho, and was
reported missing Oct. 31 by his family. A mes-
sage left for Ortegas mother Wednesday at an
Idaho Falls restaurant where she works was not
returned. Phone listings for family members in
the city were disconnected.
Ortega has an arrest record in three states
but has not been linked to any radical organiza-
tions, U.S. Park Police have said.
Fame
church and the priests at St.
Johns were instrumental in
him choosing his vocation.
During high school, he
began his transition to the
seminary, first attending St.
Joseph College, Indiana,
then St. Gregory Seminary,
Cincinnati, and finally Mt. St.
Mary Seminary in Norwood.
He was ordained to the
priesthood in 1937 and did
not retire from active ministry
until March 1995, serving the
Lord and the church for 58
years.
After Shenk and his broth-
er, Fr. Joseph, left for the sem-
inary, his mother continued
to live in Delphos and taught
school at St. John Elementary
until 1957. She later retired
and served as housekeeper for
25 years. She passed away at
95 and is buried in St. Johns
Cemetery in Delphos.
Over the past 50 years,
Shenk has worked at numer-
ous diocesan assignments: St.
Peter Parish, Huron; Cathedral
Chapel Parish, Toledo, as assis-
tant pastor; St. Peter Parish,
Mansfield, as assistant pastor;
St. Joseph Parish, Fremont, as
assistant pastor; St. Patrick
Parish, Bryan, Pastor; Sacred
Heart Parish, Fremont, pas-
tor; St. Mary Parish, Norwalk,
pastor; St. Alphonsus Parish,
Peru; and lastly as a chap-
lain at Ohio Veterans Home
Sandusky.
Today, Shenk is semi-
retired and lives in Norwalk.
He is the oldest and the lon-
gest-serving priest (74 years)
in the Diocese of Toledo.
Though Shenk might be
semi-retired, he is always the
active Catholic. He still says
Mass each day at his home and
goes to the nearby Adoration
Chapel to say 15 decades of
the rosary.
Over his many years as a
priest, Shenk has been to Rome
at least 10 times and has visited
the Holy Land numerous times
as well. For a time, he was
even the spiritual director for
an overseas tour company.
Now, nearing 100, Shenk is
remarkably active, reading the
newspaper, plus many books
and Catholic magazines. He
is notable for answering his
emails religiously and using
the internet to keep in contact
with friends, family, associates
and former parishioners. He
also visits the sick and helps to
celebrates funerals of friends.
On Jan. 30, 2011, Bishop
Blair, through a special con-
nection with the Pope, elevated
him to title of monsignor.
His long-time assistant,
Linda Huber, notes, Msgr.
Shenk gave me instructions
in Catholicism and helped me
when I decided to become
a member of the Catholic
church in 1973. He was a great
teacher then and after being
around him almost 34 years,
I find I am still learning from
him. Perhaps he is still doing
missionary work with me
because he seems to always
be promoting the faith and the
Catholic Church.
Athletic achievement
Deb Elwer Lindeman
Miss Clutch was the
nickname given to Deb Elwer
Lindeman during her time on
the state championship St.
Johns girls basketball teams.
She had the ability to pull out
amazing shots in tough games.
The 1970s were a defining
time in womens sport and as
Lindeman recalls it.
The first girls state tourna-
ment was in 1976 - my fresh-
man year. Jeanne Arnzen, Cork
Grothouse, Sue Youngpeter
and I went to the girls state
tournament in Columbus. I
remember looking at the other
girls and saying quietly, One
day the four of us are going
to be playing on that floor,
she said.
From that day forward,
Lindeman and her teammates
dedicated themselves to being
the best at their game. They
succeeded; from their soph-
omore year to their senior
year, they boasted a winning
record of 74-1 a tremendous
achievement.
Lindeman credits a lot of
her success to great team-
mates.
I was very fortunate to be
part of a very successful team
at Delphos St. Johns. I look
at all my teammates as life-
time teammates. I am still very
close to many of them espe-
cially Jeanne (Arnzen) Gulick,
Cork (Grothouse) Ulm, Sue
(Youngpeter) Hohenbrink
and Anne (Metzner) Chung.
I know they would be there to
help if I ever need anything,
she said.
Like many who play sports,
Lindeman improved by watch-
ing her heroes, one of whom
lived very close by.
One of my best role mod-
els was my brother Denny
Elwer (class of 1971) who
played for coach Bob Arnzen.
Growing up, I wanted to be
just like him. Coach Arnzen
built a rich tradition in boys
basketball and he was influ-
ential to the girls program,
she said.
The girls had Fran Voll.
I could not imagine play-
ing for a better coach than
Fran Voll. He was more than a
coach he was a good friend.
His coaching went beyond the
court, and he prepared us for
life after basketball, she said.
But like many successful
people, her good luck came
with a lot of work and prac-
tice.
I remember spending
many hours practicing, shoot-
ing baskets from the stone
court in our barn yard, she
added.
During her years at St.
Johns, she is credited with
some amazing basketball hon-
ors: UPI First-Team All-State;
UPI Player Of The Year;
AP First-Team All-State;
All-State Tournament Team;
Western Buckeye League
First-Team. During 1978-
79, her senior year, she won:
UPI Ohio Class AA Player
Of The Year; Class AA All-
Ohio First-Team; AP and UPI
Class AA Tournament Most
Valuable Player; and Western
Buckeye League First-Team.
And her talents were being
watched by university coaches,
too. She received a full schol-
arship to Northern Kentucky
University and continued her
playing career there for four
years.
Now in her role as an assis-
tant coach for Ottoville, she
has turned to teaching her
skills.
I enjoy coaching, watch-
ing the young girls grow and
watching them succeed not
only in basketball but in life,
as well, she said.
When she is not giving
back to the community or
coaching future all-stars, she
enjoys spending time with her
children: Christina, Stephanie
and Annie. She and her hus-
band, Randy, run a successful
custom cabinet business.
I am living a wonderful
life and must credit my par-
ents, Virgil and Rita Elwer,
for their love and support, as
well as my community, the
teachers, St. Johns, and my
teammates, she concluded.

Service to St. Johns
Angeline Mom Miller
Angeline Mom Miller is a
secret weapon for St. Johns.
It all started back in 1938.
Her family was still feeling the
pain of the (Great) Depression
and was very poor. The family
could not afford even a small
tuition (then called a book
bill) so Angeline and her twin
sister attended public school.
Angeline didnt complain but
I always wanted to go to St.
Johns, she said.
In 1969, she got her wish
sort of. A friend from St.
Johns said, We are looking
for a special person at school;
would you like to join us?
With her children still in
school, Miller was reluctant
but decided to try the job for
a year. She retired from St.
Johns 24 years later. During
that time, along with raising all
the students in school, she also
found time to raise her five
boys and two girls.
She credits former student
Rod Moorman, a nephew, with
giving her the title Mom
Miller. Her official title was
study hall monitor. It was a
job where Miller got to know the
students. She could learn if they
had any problems and she would
give them motherly advice.
Now at age 87, she is still
remembered by all of her for-
mer students; when you touch
a lot of lives you become a
celebrity. She gets noticed
everywhere she goes, like on
a trip to Vegas where one
of her former students, also
there on vacation, spotted her
and called out Hi, Mom
Miller!
Her time dealing with the
staff and the students has
given her plenty of wonderful
memories.
I could write a book with
all the stories I know about
St. Johns, she said with a
smile. But knowing all that,
I have only good things to say
about the school. St Johns has
a great tradition and students
should appreciate the privilege
of attending such a wonderful
school.
And now, more about her
role as a secret weapon. Little
did the opposing teams know
that St. Johns players could
play harder than anyone else
because they had Mom
Millers custom tailored uni-
forms. Any time the basketball
or football uniforms needed
a modification or repairs,
Mom Miller was there to
tune up the threads.
I did some fancy sewing.
I can tell you. I think Bob
Arnzen was my best client,
she said.
Even in 2011, she was
still tailoring and launder-
ing the sports uniforms fol-
lowing school games. What
other team could say they had
Downy fresh uniforms for
their players?
During playoffs, it is
understand Mom some-
times even included a rosary
in the washer just for a little
added help!
During the 2010 commence-
ment ceremonies, to rous-
ing applause, Mom Miller
received her honorary diploma
from St. Johns her child-
hood wish finally came true.
Workers push back against earlier holiday openings
By STEVE KARNOWSKI, MARGERY
BECK and ANNE DINNOCENZIO
Associated Press
MINNEAPOLIS Count your blessings,
then get to work.
That may be Thanksgiving for more retail
workers this year, as stores desperate to pull
in buyers on the first weekend of the holiday
shopping season push their openings earlier
and earlier. Unhappy workers who say it ruins
their Thanksgiving celebrations are trying to
persuade companies to back off, but retailers say
theyre stuck: Its what customers want.
Reporting to work at 11 p.m. on Thanksgiving
Day ruins what is supposed to be a day spent
with family, said Anthony Hardwick, who works
part-time at a Target store in Omaha corralling
carts. His online petition against Target Corp.s
plan to open at midnight on Black Friday had
drawn more than 100,000 signatures from retail
workers and the public by Wednesday, about
two weeks after he launched it.
The folks that work at Target are going to be
working all night overnight on one of the most
hectic retail days of the holidays, Hardwick
said, they need to be well-rested for that, so
they have to miss out on Thanksgiving if theyre
going to be working overnight.
Merchants are competing for shoppers on
a weekend that can be critical for their annual
sales and profits, and a growing number fear
opening at 4 a.m. or 5 a.m., as they have in
recent years, may be too late in this challeng-
ing economy. More than a decade ago, major
retailers used to open their doors around 6
a.m. on Black Friday, but over the past five
years they started to move that up to as early
as 3 a.m.
People in several fields even retail have
traditionally had to work on Thanksgiving, but
it seems to be the midnight openings that shifted
sentiment toward keeping Thanksgiving Day
itself out of the fray aided by the rise of social
media, which have helped spread the word.
I think a lot of people, with these move-
ments like Occupy Wall Street, I think a lot
of people are getting tired of wealthier people
taking advantage of the middle class and poorer
people, said John Stankus, a stocker at the
Target store in Cypress, Calif. who signed
Hardwicks petition.
Its their greed and their wanting to take
advantage of us because theyre not missing
their Thanksgiving dinner.
Stankus, 22, said his extended family gets
together only once a year, so hell miss the
chance to see relatives who probably wont
arrive at his aunts home before he has to leave
to get enough sleep before starting work around
11 p.m. on Thanksgiving night.
Ill just get the crumbs and the leftovers they
leave behind, but I wont get any turkey at all
and wont get time to spend with my family, he
said. Stankus said he had considered not show-
ing up and taking the consequences.
Hardwick said thats typical of the kind of
support hes heard from colleagues, including
some who are afraid to sign because they fear
losing their jobs.
Other retail workers said theyre just glad to
be employed.
Mary Huskey, who has worked at a Wal-
Mart in suburban St. Louis for 21 years, said
most retail employees know theyre going to
have to work on holidays, especially Black
Friday. She plans to have Thanksgiving dinner
with her family early in the day, catch a little rest
and then ring up sales from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m.
Retail is retail. People want to shop, and
if they want to shop, we have to be there for
them, Huskey said. Its a living, and you know
that when you go into it. Im just thankful that
I have a place to work, unlike other people that
dont have a job.
Its not just big box merchandisers that will
be open Thanksgiving. Anneliese Curtis Place
said shell be selling cars at a Toyota dealer
in Santa Barbara, Calif., until 3 p.m. on both
Thanksgiving and Black Friday. The dealer
opens every Thanksgiving, she said, partly
because there are a lot of Jehovahs Witnesses
in the area who dont celebrate the holidays.
She anticipates theyll sell quite a few cars
next today.
Its their greed
and their wanting
to take advantage of
us because theyre
not missing their
Thanksgiving dinner.

No record found of McQueary reporting abuse to police
By MARK SCOLFORO,
MARYCLAIRE DALE
and GENARO C. ARMAS
Associated Press
STATE COLLEGE, Pa.
Penn State campus police
and their counterparts in State
College said Wednesday that
they had no record of Mike
McQueary reporting an
alleged sexual assault by Jerry
Sandusky on a 10-year-old boy
in a campus shower.
The details ran counter to
McQuearys claims in an email
to former teammates and made
available to The Associated
Press this week.
McQueary, then a graduate
assistant, wrote in the email
that he had discussions with
police about what he saw. In
the email, McQueary did not
specify which police depart-
ment he spoke to.
State College borough
police chief Tom King said
McQueary didnt make a report
to his department.
Campus police referred
questions on the Sandusky
case to the universitys public
information office.
At this point we have no
record of any police report being
filed in 2002 by McQueary in
connection with the Sandusky
case, university spokeswom-
an Annemarie Mountz said,
adding police searched their
records Wednesday.
The football building is on
university property, so campus
police would have been the
most likely to respond for a
police call.
Mountz also noted the
23-page grand jury report was
the state attorney generals
summary of testimony, so its
unclear what McQuearys full
testimony was.
The news came after a new
judge was assigned to handle
the child sex abuse charges
against Sandusky, whose tele-
vised defense earlier this week
drew a rebuke from a lawyer
for one of his accusers.
The change removed a
State College judge with ties to
a charity founded by Sandusky
for at-risk children, The Second
Mile.
Harrisburg attorney Ben
Andreozzi said he represents
a client who will testify against
Sandusky, who is accused of
abusing eight boys, some on
campus, over 15 years.
I am appalled by the fact
that Mr. Sandusky has elected
to re-victimize these young
men at a time when they
should be healing, Andreozzi
said in a statement released by
his office. He fully intends
to testify that he was severe-
ly sexually assaulted by Mr.
Sandusky.
Sanduskys lawyer, Joe
Amendola, appeared with him
on NBCs Rock Center on
Monday night and cast doubt
on the evidence in the case.
We anticipate were going
to have at least several of those
kids come forward and say,
This never happened. This is
me. This is the allegation. It
never occurred, Amendola
said.
Andreozzi said he has his
finger on the pulse of the
case and knows of no accusers
changing their stories or refus-
ing to testify.
To the contrary, others
are actually coming forward,
and I will have more informa-
tion for you later this week,
Andreozzi said.
Sandusky, 67, appeared on
the show by phone and said he
had showered with boys but
never molested them.
