MAST EXAMINER STAFF WRITER jmast@examiner.org Bellefontaine could start the new year with a general fund spending plan that equals it revenues, a significant change from recent years in which the city had to use reserves to maintain its workforce and services to residents. “It looks like we could have a balanced budget,” said Council Finance Committee Chairman Mark Fissel, “but not necessarily a sustainable budget.” The proposed $7.5 million general fund appropriation does not provide for additional personnel outside of one firefighter, “It looks like we could have a balanced budget, but not necessarily a sustainable budget.” Mark Fissel Finance Committee chairman pay raises nor new equipment purchases, he said. Service-Safety Director James Holycross said the firefighter hire is in lieu of two open positions. Also, the department moved one firefighter’s salary from the Ambulance Fund, which is an enterprise fund supported by user fees, to the general fund which is primarily supported by local income tax revenues. City Auditor Jack Reser said revenues have improved this year, but it is still too early to tell if it is a continuing trend. Income tax receipts are up $260,000 and the city should end the year with a $2 million reserve. In the past several years, Bellefontaine has used $300,000 or more in reserves each year to meet expenditures. Along the way, the number of city workers has dropped as the administration declined to hire replacements for retirees. A police officer was hired this year, breaking the trend. Council members approved a first reading of the $23.8 million temporary budget which includes the general fund, special revenue funds and enterprise funds. Mr. Fissel and Finance Committee member Deb Baker met in executive session with the administration, Police Chief Brandon Standley and Law Director Howard Traul II to discuss negotiations with the police officers union. To help ease the city’s financial stress and maintain staffing, police officers and firefighters Quincy suspect arrested in federal case Faces charges relating to producing child porn BY THE BELLEFONTAINE EXAMINER STAFF A Quincy area resident who is a registered sex offender was arrested late Thursday on federal charges relating to the production and distribution of child pornography. Mickell E. Close, 31, of 2491 County Road 255, Cottage 4, is currently in federal custody and is awaiting a court date with the U.S. Southern District of Ohio.

Local youths were the driving force behind a community mural that was installed in the city earlier this year. In a similar effort, another colorful creation soon will grace the downtown Bellefontaine area as a result of a second grant received by the Bellefontaine Cultural Arts Commission. The organization recently was awarded a $9,000 Mary Eleanor Morris Fund educational grant for the new project, following the receipt of an $8,000 grant last year for a mural that is displayed on one side of the Allstate Insurance building, 207 S. Main St. “Receiving this second grant is really exciting, as it proves that we had a successful project in the eyes of the foundation,” BCAC director Chloe Manor said. “We’re pleased that they wanted to work with us again. “We’ve gotten a lot of positive feedback from the first mural. We also saw the positive impact that it had on our youth, which was more than enough for us to feel like it was a worthwhile project.” With the first mural project, students in the Ohio Hi-Point Career Center’s printing and graphic arts class created a design centered around the Shawnee Indian war chief Blue Jacket. For the upcoming piece, the location of the mural has not yet been determined, but work will begin in April with Andy Bellomo, an artist and educator from the Chicago area. A former art center director in Boston, Ms. Bellomo’s mural work has been featured in cities in Michigan, Illinois, Massachusetts and Wisconsin. The artist also has more than 10 years of experience working with at-risk youths, which will See MURAL on Page 4 Speeding complaint One pleads, prompts Huntsville to another sentenced look at liability issue Escaped fugitive gets nine months in prison The Huntsville Village Council is looking into what its BY THE BELLEFONTAINE EXAMINER STAFF liabilities are when it comes to the driving habits of its volunteer servants. Mayor William Jenkins reported receiving a complaint about a volunteer firefighter’s use of excessive speed in “very foggy conditions,” adding that the complainant was nearly struck by the driver. Fire Chief Tim Jenkins was asked to speak with the volunteers about the matter. Further, council members raised concerns about what the village’s liability is if such an accident occurs. Officials will contact the village’s insurance representative for clarification on the matter. Council approved the addition of Andrew Newman and Joseph Brenner to its volunteer fire department ranks. A letter requesting to upgrade several road signs within the village has been forwarded to the Logan County Engineer’s Office. Officials noted the new signs are required to meet the new federal guidelines by Dec. 1, 2012. In other business, council accepted a new service contract from the Logan County Sheriff’s Office for 2013, noting a cost increase of 50 cents an hour to $26.50 per hour of patrol service. The Huntsville Neighborhood Watch meeting for Nov. 20 is canceled for the Thanksgiving holiday. The next meeting is at 7 p.m. Nov. 27. BY NATE SMITH EXAMINER STAFF WRITER nsmith@examiner.org A defendant confessed to theft of an elderly man’s wallet and another was sentenced for stealing several thousand dollars from his girlfriend’s father in an abbreviated docket Tuesday in Logan County Common Pleas Court. Jennifer Kindle, 38, of 332 West St., pleaded guilty to a fifth-degree felony count of theft from the elderly. In exchange for the plea, prosecutors dismissed a charge of identity fraud. She admitted to taking a wallet that had been misplaced by Kent Tenant, 68, at the former Rich gas station, 721 N. Main St., on May 3. Law enforcement used video taken from store security cameras to identify the suspect. Charges had been made to the victim’s card in Logan, Union and Franklin counties, assistant prosecutor Dan LaRoche said. The plea agreement submitted to the court recommends a 90-day jail sentence and a restitution order in the amount of $1,325.46.

KUNTREE FRIENDS & KRAFTS 419-648-3747 Dear Annie: Recently, my husband mentioned that he wanted to get together with some friends for a project. I encouraged him to invite the guys to our home to work on it. I thought it would be a few hours, but it ended up taking well over 12. They arrived early in the morning and stayed until late that night, taking over our living room. I suggested in private to my husband that he should have wrapped things up by late afternoon. The project is for fun. It’s not like they had a deadline for work. It is also designed to continue on a weekly basis for the next six months, so committing to only a portion of the day would not have made much difference. My husband, however, is a people pleaser and didn’t feel he could ask his friends to leave before they wanted to. Would it be wise to discuss a lax but scheduled time of arrival and departure with them in the future, or am I being unfair to suggest that the party should move elsewhere after 10 hours? I want my husband and his friends to feel comfortable in our home, but I also don’t want my house invaded for such a long period of time. — East Coast Dear East Coast: It is always wise to discuss time constraints in n advance, particularly when overstaying annoys you so much. Some wives would have no objection to a 12-hour marathon. ANNIE’S They would MAILBOX occupy themselves elsewhere, and this is one option for you. But please discuss reasonable limits with your husband, allowing yourself to be the “bad guy” in order for him to ask his friends to leave when you’ve had enough. There is no point creating ill will with one’s spouse if it could easily be avoided. Dear Annie: My husband has been put on the lung transplant list, and we are praying and waiting. Please remind your readers about donating their organs. They only need to mark the back of their driver’s licenses. Many people are desperate for a lung, and my husband’s time is getting shorter. — Vermont Dear Vermont: People are also desperately waiting for kidneys, livers, hearts and corneas. We urge all of our readers to consider LOCAL NOTES Fashion on the runway at DKG meeting A fashion show featuring clothing from JCPenney was one of the highlights of the recent Delta Kappa Gamma meeting at the West Liberty Church of God.

Dear Annie: I’d like to add another take to “Not a Fan of the Big Gulp.” I agree that a Big Gulp is probably a little over the top. However, I always bring my own canned soda to my family’s parties. You see, I am a recovering alcoholic with 24 years of sobriety. Sadly, my family members cannot be trusted not to add liquor to whatever is served. My sponsor suggested that I bring my own drink and keep it with me at all times. One can then be certain that alcohol-free drinks are neither tampered with nor inadvertently mixed with alcoholic drinks. At a bridal shower for my nephew’s fiancee, I brought my own soda. As I was leaving, my sister took me aside and told me that our niece had spiked the lemonade with vodka so people would “loosen up.” I was shocked and angry that this 37-year-old niece would pull such a juvenile and dangerous trick. Aside from my sobriety, she never considered that some guests may have been taking medication that could be lethal in combination with alcohol. — Recovering Drunk Dear Recovering: We are certain that etiquette would give you a pass. We also heard from someone whose well water was tainted. But in most instances, it is rude to bring your own beverage to occasions where there is a variety served. And it is never appropriate to bring a Big Gulp. Dear Annie: I am a teenager. In our society, the central message is that you need to look perfect and have tons of money. It’s drilled into our heads every day, and I feel the pressure. n Clothing companies tell me I need to wear their labels to be popular, cosmetic companies convince me with airbrushed models that their makeup will make me look flawless, and weight programs promise to give me the perfect body. People undergo surgery to make their faces and bodies more appealing because they have been brainwashed into believing the body they were given isn’t good enough. While all this goes on, there are simultaneous advertisements for suicide hotlines, medication for depression, and help with bulimia and anorexia. I am sick of it. I don’t want to feel like I must look like every Photoshopped model in the magazines to be accepted. I am beginning to question the society I live in. Is there anything to do? — Teen Lacking Self-Esteem Dear Teen: You sound like a pretty smart cookie to us. You already understand that the reason behind such advertisements is to sell product, and that the pressure to be “flawless” is manufactured by companies that benefit from your purchases. This pressure is internalized and can breed insecurity in those who don’t feel they measure up. We know it’s difficult, but remember that those who are interested primarily in superficial appearances aren’t particularly appealing in the long run. Please don’t feel obligated to attract such people. There are plenty who still value integrity, intelligence, confidence and a good personality. If you cultivate those traits, your self-esteem will develop right alongside them. © 2012 Creators.com VETERANS NOTES • Logan County Veteran Appreciation Day — 11:30 a.m. Saturday, Nov. 17, American Legion Harold Kerr Post 173, 120 Colton Ave.; all veterans (not just those who served during war/conflicts, including those currently serving) and their families are invited; lunch provided, commemorative coins presented. Remembering Lisa More than 100 friends and family members of the late Lisa Hirschfeld Rubin recently participated in the annual “Step-Up for Stefanie” Walk/Run event in Columbus. Mrs. Rubin, a daughter of Dale and Sue Hirschfeld of DeGraff, passed away Oct. 4, 2011.

In 1986, the Securities and Exchange Commission imposed a $100 million penalty against inside-trader Ivan F. Boesky and barred him from working again in the securities industry. In 1997, a jury in Fairfax, Va., decided that Pakistani national Aimal Khan Kasi (eye-MAHL' kahn KAH'-see) should get the death penalty for gunning down two CIA employees outside agency headquarters.

Thought for Today: "I never gave away anything without wishing I had kept it; nor kept anything without wishing I had given it away." — Louise Brooks, American actress (born this date in 1906, died 1985). © 2012 The Associated Press Wednesday, November 14, 2012 • BELLEFONTAINE EXAMINER • 3 Local & State eMail: news@examiner.org ONLINE @ www.examiner.org Kids’ mom in murder-suicide wanted them back BY JOHN SEEWER ASSOCIATED PRESS TOLEDO — For the past three years, Mandy Hayes had counted on her mother to care night and day for three of her children after another son at home had become too much to handle. When she decided it was safe to bring all of them back home in recent weeks, her mother snapped, killing her three young grandchildren and herself with the help of her 32-year-old son who also died, police said. Letters left behind indicate 54-yearold Sandy Ford and her son Andy son carefully planned the murder-suicide by barricading the garage in their Toledo home, nailing plywood over the windows and then running two hoses from the exhaust of his pickup truck into the rear window of a car where all five were found dead, police said. Police are waiting for autopsy results. n The family disagreement over where the children should live erupted within just the past week, with police and children services workers being asked to intervene. But both said there was never any indication that the dispute would end in tragedy. Firefighters using a sledgehammer broke down the garage door to find the bodies of 5-year-old Madalyn Hayes, her 6-year-old brother Logan and 10year-old sister Paige slumped inside a car, along with their grandmother and uncle. Two hoses attached to the exhaust of a pickup truck pumped gas fumes through the car’s rear window. Police said letters inside the house indicated the woman and her son plotted the murder-suicide, beginning by picking up the children from school Monday morning after their mother had dropped them off earlier. Toledo police Sgt. Joe Heffernan wouldn’t say what was in the letters, AREA BRIEFS Suspect charged in alleged marijuana growing operation ST. PARIS – Anthony A. Rench, 21, was charged with trafficking in drugs and corrupting a juvenile with drugs for his alleged involvement in a marijuana growing operation in St. Paris. Around 10:30 a.m. Friday, village police responded to 209 Lawn Ave. in response to complaints from neighbors about a high amount of traffic in and out of the residence. After getting a search warrant, authorities found objects and evidence consistent with a marijuana growing operation in addition to drug paraphernalia and marijuana inside the residence. Rench and three other individuals were arrested and taken to the Tri-County Regional Jail on a 48-hour hold. While Rench is still in the jail, the other three suspects were released. Officials said the release of the three individuals does not mean they will not be charged, but they believe Rench is the main suspect in the case and may face additional charges. The search also resulted in the discovery of a grenade outside the residence. Wright-Patterson Air Force Base officers reported to the scene to detonate the grenade. Anyone with additional information about the case or any suspicious activity should contact the St. Paris Police Department at (937) 663-4468. Children’s Hospital expanding to Marysville MARYSVILLE — Nationwide Children’s Hospital has confirmed its intent to construct a Children’s Close to Home facility on north Coleman’s Crossing Blvd. in Marysville’s City Gate development at U.S. Route 33 and State Route 36. Hospital officials said the center would include pediatric urgent care, child labs and child radiology services, at a minimum. The facility would be very similar to other close-to-home centers and offer services not currently available in Marysville. Children’s officials reported having talks with Memorial Hospital of Union County, but could not reach an agreement to work together, although Children’s remains open to future collaborations. There are not yet estimates on the cost to construct the facility, but construction is expected to begin in the spring. Ada program a finalist for most notable in country ADA — The Ada Police Department’s S.A.F.E.R.

Authorities were called to the home by the children’s frantic grandfather after he discovered the letters and was unable to force open the garage door. Despite the grisly scene, investigators found no signs the children were forced into the car and believe all five died of carbon monoxide poisoning. Until last week, the children had spent the last three years living with their grandparents, Sandy and Randy Ford, and their uncle at a house in a residential neighborhood close to the Michigan state line. Mandy Hayes had asked her mom for help caring for the three children because a fourth child was becoming disruptive, said children’s services representatives and a family friend. “She was just being protective,” said BY THOMAS J. SHEERAN ASSOCIATED PRESS CLEVELAND — A Cleveland woman puffed on a cigarette, wore headphones, and ignored passers-by and crowds of reporters as she stood for an hour Tuesday under a judge’s order holding a sign that said, “Only an idiot would drive on the sidewalk to avoid a school bus.” A Municipal Court judge had ordered 32-year-old Shena Hardin to serve the highly public sentence Tuesday and Wednesday for the Sept. 11 citation after she was caught on camera driving on a sidewalk to pass a Cleveland school bus that was unloading children. She arrived bundled up against the 34-degree cold at the intersection near downtown Cleveland as passing vehicles honked. Satellite TV trucks streamed the event live. Hardin refused to comment, as did her mother, who watched from a parked car. A message seeking comment was left for Hardin’s attorneys. Hardin’s license was suspended for 30 days and she was ordered to pay $250 in court costs. Lisa Kelley, whose 9-yearold daughter boards the bus that Hardin had been passing on the sidewalk, said the sen- BY THE BELLEFONTAINE EXAMINER STAFF Tri-County Community Action Commission Champaign, Logan and Shelby Counties of Ohio honors the dedication of Maxine Wingo with a lunch buffet and award ceremony at 11:30 a.m. Wednesday, Nov. 21, at Liberty Gathering Place, 111 N.

Bill Lipold, 37, who works nearby in the blue-collar neighborhood of older homes and factories, yelled to Hardin: “Why do you hate kids?” He hopes the punishment works. “How else are you going to stop her from doing it again?” he said. “She really didn’t show remorse for her action after being caught, so you’ve got to try something.” With two schools located within two blocks of the location and busy commuter traffic, the area can be risky for youngsters walking to class, Lipold said. Girl says she was locked basement, punished HAMILTON (AP) — A 12year-old girl who authorities say was locked in a basement for weeks testified Tuesday that she was held under cold showers, slapped, spanked and fed peanut butter sandwiches for punishment. The girl, her older sister and a social worker were among those who testified on the first day of the trial for Shawn and Joanna Blackston, the 12-year-old’s father and stepmother. The trial was scheduled to continue today in a Butler County court. Shawn Blackston, 40, and Joanna Blackston, 37, of Middletown, have pleaded not guilty to a misde- meanor count of child endangering for allegedly locking the girl in the basement as punishment. The couple could get up to six months in jail if the judge finds them guilty, a court official said. The girl clutched a teddy bear and rocked in a chair as she spoke in court, The Hamilton JournalNews reported. She told the court that she had to ask to use an upstairs bathroom, and her parents would give her two or three pieces of toilet paper. She acknowledged that she sneaked out of the house, found food in a neighbor’s trash can and returned to the basement.

Mandy Hayes and her husband also have a baby who was born just less than a year ago. But the agency had no authority to decide who should keep the children, Sparks said, and the parents had every right to bring them back into their home.

But recently Hayes had decided they should all return home, and the children moved back in with their parents last week, upsetting Hayes’ mother, Turner said. “Mandy wasn’t taking the kids away from her entirely,” she said. “She wanted them home. It wasn’t like she was taking them and grandma could never see them again.” Turner said Hayes had confided that her mother was controlling, but she never seemed alarmed by it. “It doesn’t make sense,” she said. “I can’t imagine.

The three men had just taken off from Hawkins Field Airport in Jackson on Tuesday when a witness said the Piper PA-32 began “spitting and sputtering.” The witness, a Jackson police officer, saw the plane sputtering like it was out of fuel, he would later tell the plane’s owner — a budding pilot whose own life was spared when he decided to go deer hunting instead of flying. The men on board were headed to a Federal Aviation Administration safety conference less than 30 miles away. One of the aviators asked for permission to return to the airport, but just minutes later the plane went down. It crashed through trees before slamming into a house that quickly caught fire, sending long flames and black smoke through the neighborhood of modest single-family homes surrounded by magnolia and oak trees. A deputy fire chief told WJTV-TV that one person escaped the burning home with minor injuries, but it was not immediately clear if anyone else was inside. One patient from the scene was in good condition at University of Mississippi Medical Center, spokesman Jack Mazurak said late Tuesday. He wouldn’t give the person’s name or gender or the extent of the injuries, citing privacy laws. The plane was owned by Roger and Michele Latham, from Superior Pallet Company in Flowood, Miss., both of whom showed up at the crash site, along with their grown daughter, Emily Latham. Emily Latham noted that her father was supposed to have been on board but changed his plans. “He went hunting,” she said. “Thank God.” Michele Latham said all three men on board were pilots. Roger Latham, who is 15 hours short of getting his pilot’s license, identified one of the victims as John Edward Tilton Jr., his flight instructor. “He was one of the finest Christian men I knew,” Latham said. “We had three great men who lost their lives,” he added. “I just want to wake up in a while and say, ‘This didn’t happen.”’ Hinds County Coroner Sharon Grisham-Stewart confirmed three people died in the crash. She said dental records or DNA would be needed to confirm their identities. The plane took off at 5:10 p.m. and shortly after, the pilot asked for permission to return to the airport, according to a news release issued by the Jackson Municipal Airport Authority. It never made it. The plane had departed Hawkins Field Airport headed for Raymond, Miss., for an FAA safety conference. Latham said his plane had been parked in a hangar for a month and they wanted to take it out for a short flight before he flew it to Gulf Shores, Ala., for Thanksgiving. Latham said he had owned the plane for 2 1/2 years and described it as being in mint condition. Latham said a Jackson police officer who was about a block away when the plane was coming down told him “it was spitting and sputtering and ... starving for fuel.” It hit trees on the way down, Latham said, adding, “I’m sure John was doing everything he possibly could to save the lives on board.” Vivian Payne, who lives about six blocks from the crash site, said she heard a loud bang that sounded different from an electrical transformer blowing. “It shook the walls of my house,” Payne said. Mural_________________________ Continued from Page 1 be a major asset for this upcoming endeavor, as the project will involve girls who are a part of the Logan County juvenile probation system. “We were hoping to find an artist who had a background in education and also in working with at-risk teens,” Ms. Manor said. “So when we found Andy, we were just thrilled and couldn’t wait to get started working with her.” More specifically, participants who will work on the mural are involved in the Logan County Family Court’s intervention group called “Girl Talk” for ages 14-18. Girl Talk members meet twice a month for a meal, discussion and other activities to deal with a variety of issues, from peer and parental relationships to decision making, goal setting, money management, job-seeking skills, dating violence, bullying, body image and health education. Community service credit is given to the girls as a reward for their participation. Ms. Manor said she has observed several Girl Talk ses- sions, and wrote the grant specifically to target the teens in the group. “Through the BCAC, we’re looking at how we can serve the youth of our community, and we felt that we wanted to reach out to at-risk girls who are in this group.” One of Ms. Bellomo’s previous efforts included working with a group of homeless teens who were parenting or pregnant. That group created a large project called “Real Eyes Moms,” in which each young woman created a life-size mosaic of herself and then recorded her life story onto an mp3 player that was attached to the mosaic. “We had an exhibit and over 300 people showed up to hear the stories and see their art,” the Chicago resident said in an email. Through her many experiences, Ms. Bellomo, who holds a master of education degree in art and education from Lesley University, has observed the profound impact that art can have on children and teenagers. “I do think these projects effect youth immensely, espe- Court __________ Continued from Page 1 She will be sentenced Jan. 7. Bill Ray Garland, 57, of 1629 S. Township Road 46, was sentenced to 30 days in the Logan County Jail, five years’ community control, and was ordered to pay court costs and attorney fees for theft, a fourth-degree felony. Mr. Garland was convicted of stealing a debit card that belonged to his girlfriend’s father and charging to it $14,283.20. The defendant said the crime occurred as a result of an addiction to crack cocaine, a habit he has since kicked, “cold turkey.” Reading from a presentence investigation, Judge Mark S. O’Connor noted the defendant hasn’t had a full-time job in nine years. Mr. Garland said he has worked a series of odd jobs over that time, and that he is the pri- n mary caregiver for his girlfriend, who is prone to daily seizures. He says he is now seeking employment and anticipates being able to pay between $50 and $100 each month toward the restitution. In a case resolved last week, a convicted sex offender was sentenced for skipping town while on furlough ahead of his original sentence. Shawn Kerns, 33, was sentenced to nine months in prison to be served consecutively with the five-and-a-half years he’s currently doing for two counts of gross sexual imposition. The defendant fled Ohio in April after he pleaded to the GSI charges. He was located in June in the Oglala community of the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota, where he had been living in a tent. Court was pushed back a day in observance of Veterans’ Day. PALLBEARERS Pallbearers for the funeral of Ruth Hesser were Shawn Hesser, Chuck Hesser, Tim Newland, Zach Newland, Grant Mizek, John Baughman and Justin Van Buskirk.

As a society, I’m sure we could do a better job guiding our youth through their accomplishments and giving them more opportunities to create something together and succeed in a common goal.” While the theme and subject matter of the upcoming work will be determined by the Girl Talk members, the mural itself will be a mosaic piece, where each individual has a hand in creating a larger image, the artist noted. “The cool thing about mosaics is that literally every piece is touched by someone on the project, so it couldn’t get done without the personal hard work and touch of each and every teen working on the piece.” After completing mostly urban projects, Ms. Bellomo said she’s looking forward to her time in Bellefontaine this spring. “Over the years, I’ve worked with people from all ages, styles, backgrounds, and communities, and I’ve learned something from each project I have worked on. “I especially love working with young people, because of the sense of inspiration we tend to get from each other. It keeps me going and wanting to create more.” For additional examples of Ms. Bellomo’s public murals, visit her Web site at www.andybartworks.com.

Arrest _________ Continued from Page 1 warrant at his residence Thursday by special agents with the Homeland Security Investigation office out of Columbus. Spokesman Khaalid Walls with the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement office reported today that the defendant was arrested without incident. The criminal complaint against Mr. Close alleges that the illegal activity had occurred since June. Also in the criminal complaint document, the offense description states the defendant allegedly “used, persuaded, induced, enticed or coerced three or more minor children to engage in sexually explicit conduct for the purpose of producing a visual depiction of such conduct, and such visual depiction was produced using materials that traveled in interstate or foreign commerce ... that is by computer and/or the Internet.” The spokesman said he could not release information about what materials might have been uncovered during the execution of the search warrant. Thursday, deputies of the Logan County Sheriff’s Office provided back-up support to federal agents at the scene in Quincy. Mr. Close was convicted in 2000 of gross sexual imposition involving a 3-year-old female victim in Logan County. He is labeled as a sexual predator, according to Logan County Sheriff’s Office Detective Phil Bailey. Mr. Walls said the investigation continues into the federal case. Smokeout ______ Continued from Page 1 U.S., tobacco use is responsible for nearly 1 in 5 deaths, or about 443,000 premature deaths each year. Smokers who quit, regardless of age, live longer than people who continue to smoke. In just 20 minutes after quitting smoking, heart rate and blood pressure drop and in about one to nine months after quitting, coughing and shortness of breath decrease. The American Cancer Society created the trademarked concept for its first Great American Smokeout in 1976 as a way to inspire and encourage smokers to quit for a day. One million people quit smoking for a day at the 1976 event in California. The Great American Smokeout encourages smokers to commit to making a long-term plan to quit smoking for good.

Thus, for months and months, Romney had to spend his energy and, importantly, his money to prevail in the primaries against opponents who had no chance and who ultimately hurt him. During that same precious time, Obama’s campaign was busy pinpointing specific voters, practically learning the names of their dogs, and buying ads in niche markets. More to the point, the GOP seems willfully clueless. There’s a reason there are so few minorities in the party. There’s a reason women scrambled to the other side. There’s a reason Hispanics, including even Cuban-Americans this time, went for Obama. The way forward is about love, not war, baby. Women’s reproductive rights need to come off the table. As Haley Barbour suggested long ago, agree to disagree. Compassionate immigration reform, including a path to citizenship, should be the centerpiece of a conservative party’s agenda. Marginalize or banish those who in any way make African-Americans, gays, single women or any other human being feel unwelcome in a party that cherishes the values of limited government, low taxes and freedom. A large swath of conservative-minded Americans are Democrats and independents by default. Mitt Romney would have been a fine president and might have won the day but for the party he had to please.

The mechanism used by Republicans to accomplish their goals is religion. In the months leading to their action, you could read the editorial pages of any paper and be exposed to a conservative sermon about how awful President Barack Obama and his administration were. The implications being that anyone with a liberal point of view is an atheist, a communist or a socialist. Maybe all three. I keep reminding myself, though, that it was the right wing segregationists in the South all those years who claimed slavery was in their Bible. Most irksome to me in the recent editorials were the A repeated references to religious themes and our Constitution. I’m always asking questions. I think that’s a very good thing to do. This requires two big ones. If religion was so central to our founders’ vision of America, why is even God not mentioned in the Constitution? And why did the chief architect of the Constitution, James Madison, say that where religion had been part of civil government in past times, it had always resulted in “tyranny” and was “needed not.” So, how do the Republicans exploit religion and faith? It’s as simple as human nature. I’ve long believed that we make more important decisions in our lives based on emotions than we do on facts, logic or common sense. What is love if not pure emotion? Religion is a very emotional thing, especially on issues like abortion and same sex marriage. What are we missing by all this though? For instance, how many of those in the anti-abortion movement who care so much about protecting us while we’re on the way, are opponents of universal healthcare? They have to be saying that once we’re here, only those with enough cash on hand deserve it. That’s hypocrisy 101. We hear a great deal in America about “Islamic Terrorism.” Islam being a religion of course. After all the hateful missives I’ve read this fall from other religious zealots, many of them sound like terrorists to me. A threat to anyone — atheists, liberals, gays, etc. — that dares to be or is different. I’m convinced James Madison and our other founders were mindful of such concerns when separating church and state in or civil government. And despite all the noise from the religious right, that alleged socialism/Marxist in the White House, Barack Obama, was re-elected president of the United States on Nov. 6. I think our founders would have approved. Jerry Turner Quincy Why I struggle with sleepless nights ear Friends and Citizens of Logan County, As I set here in the early morning after the election, I want to express some of my concerns and thoughts that are keeping me from a good night’s sleep. I am looking at these thoughts not as a Republican, Democrat or Independent, but as a son of a WWII Vet, a Vietnam Vet, husband, father and grandfather and most of all a proud American. I have been blessed to have been born in this great and exceptional country of the United States of America. This is a country of freedoms and opportunities equaled by none. A country where I was taught by loving parents about religion, work ethic and the fact that I could succeed by working hard and making intelligent decisions. I was also taught early on that making bad decisions had consequences. I was also taught love and responsibility for our country. These are lessons taught by most all parents regardless of political association. We all want our country to be the best it can be, not only for us but for future generations. We all hope and pray that the freedoms and blessings that our forefathers provided for us will provide a safe, happy and successful life for our kids and grandkids. Yet we do not seem to be able to elect representatives to government that secure those hopes. Why? We only seem to elect those who care more for themselves than for us and more for their careers than for serving their country. Why? I can only look at the last four years and wonder how we were led to $16 trillion in debt, how we have D had freedoms taken from us by our representatives enacting laws and regulations and by judge decisions that disregard our Constitution, the same Constitution that was designed to protect us from the government. I see a Christian nation founded on Christian principles being oppressed more and more in schools, at work, by government and in our daily lives for political correctness. I see schools and teachers being required to act as parents and used for social and political teaching rather than teach the skills needed to be successful in the future. I see our great country that was once the hope and leader of the world being laughed at by dictators and enemies when once we were respected for our goodness and feared for our power. I see our country never being energy independent because of laws and regulations that do no let us use the resources God has given us but requires us to buy from countries that hate us. I see a country of hardworking God-fearing Americans with no jobs, on unemployment, food stamps and other kinds of government support, not because they want to be but because our government has put them there by their policies. I don’t believe that any American wants to see this but yet we cannot elect people that agree with us? I truly believe that when over 50 percent of our working population must depend on government for food, housing, health care and many other programs to survive, that our country as we know it will be gone. No doubt you can see that I am very fearful for the future of our country. We are told that everything will be OK and that we can solve our problems if we only pay a little more taxes. That is not the answer. Look at Europe where taxes are being raised higher and higher and it cannot fix their problems. Is this the kind of freedom we want? The kind that requires us to work for the government and not for ourself and family? That is where we are headed. We can no longer vote out of office officials that lie, cheat and buy votes using their policies and our tax money? This is not the future I want to see. Going down this path will lead to a USA that has far less freedoms, is weak financially and militarily with a much lower standard of living for future generations. Is this what any of us want? Who do we have to blame? Only ourselves. This is why I cannot sleep tonight and I wonder how many of you are having the same thoughts? I pray that once again we become a Christian USA and are proud of it. I believe that is the only hope and change that will make a difference.

Hubbard, former Examiner owner/publisher 6 • BELLEFONTAINE EXAMINER • Wednesday, November 14, 2012 Florida socialite at center of general’s sex scandal BY TAMARA LUSH AND MATT SEDENSKY tangled sex scandal involving Petraeus lead back to Kelley, whose complaint about anonymous, threatening emails triggered the FBI investigation that led to the general’s downfall as director of the CIA. And now Kelley is in the middle of an investigation of the top U.S. commander in Afghanistan over alleged “inappropriate communications” between the two. Kelley’s friendship with Petraeus and his wife began when the general arrived in Tampa about 2008. Kelley and her husband, Scott, a cancer surgeon, had moved to the area a few years earlier and threw a welcome party at their home, a short distance from Central Command headquarters, introducing the new Central Command chief and his wife Holly to Tampa’s elite, according to staffers who served with Petraeus. Such friendships among senior military commanders and prominent local community leaders are common at any base, a symbiotic relationship where the officers invite top locals to exclusive military events and functions, and the invitees respond by providing private funding to support troops with ASSOCIATED PRESS TAMPA, Fla. — When news vans camped outside her stately home, a Florida socialite tied to the Gen. David Petraeus sex scandal fell back on her informal credentials as a social ambassador for Tampa society and top military brass: She asked police for diplomatic protection. In the phone call to authorities, Jill Kelley, a party hostess and unofficial social liaison for leaders of the U.S. military’s Central Command in Tampa, cited her status as an honorary consul general while complaining about news vans that had descended on her twostory brick home overlooking Tampa Bay. “You know, I don’t know if by any chance, because I’m an honorary consul general, so I have inviolability, so they should not be able to cross my property. I don’t know if you want to get diplomatic protection involved as well,” she told the 911 dispatcher Monday. Nearly all lines in the increasingly everything from morale-boosting “Welcome Home” parades to assistance for injured troops. She also met Gen. John Allen while he was at Central Command, and now investigators are looking at 20,000-plus pages of documents and emails between Kelley and Allen, some of which have been described as “flirtatious.” The general has denied any wrongdoing. For her part, Kelley has taken a low profile since Petraeus’ affair with his biographer, Paula Broadwell, became public. The Kelleys have retained highpowered Washington lawyer Abbe Lowell, who did not immediately return a call. On Tuesday, Kelley could be seen through the large windows of her South Tampa home. In the driveway was a silver Mercedes with a license plate marked “Honorary Consul.” Kelley’s identical twin sister, Natalie Khawam, also lives there. South Tampa is a conservative Southern community of big houses, big bank accounts, garden clubs and wives who pride themselves on volunteer work. A lot of the brass from MacDill Air Force Base, where Central Command is headquartered, live or socializes in South Tampa, and helping members of the military is a major volunteer activity. Former Mayor Pam Iorio said she went to several parties to benefit the military at the Kelleys’ home, and they drew MacDill’s top brass, including Petraeus. But they were by far not the only parties held around the city for MacDill’s officers. “Our community’s relationship with MacDill is just multi-faceted,” said Iorio, who later invited the Petraeuses over to her own home for dinner. “It’s something that is generational. People sincerely care about the military.” Petraeus aides said Kelley took it to another level, winning the title of “honorary ambassador” for her extensive entertaining. Petraeus even honored Kelley and her husband with an award in a special ceremony at the Pentagon. The Kelleys invited then-Florida Gov. Charlie Crist to their home, but he never accepted. Instead, he had dinner with the Kelleys at a steakhouse in Tampa with Petraeus. “Lovely people. I remember I had a nice dinner with she and her husband and the general and his wife,” Crist said. Ken Walters, a neighbor, said he went to a party the couple had to celebrate their first son’s baptism. The Kelleys have two other children. “Natalie and her sister, they’re certainly not shrinking violets,” Walters said. He recalled that when the sisters first entered the South Tampa social scene, they “rubbed people the wrong way. I think they probably stepped on a couple of toes.” Petraeus’ affair with Broadwell was discovered after Kelley told an FBI agent friend she had received email warning her to stay away from Petraeus. The email turned out to be from Broadwell, who apparently regarded Kelley as a rival for Petraeus’ affections. Kelley’s family and Petraeus aides have said Petraeus and Kelley were just friends. In another strange footnote to the scandal, long before the case involving Petraeus got under way, the FBI agent sent Kelley shirtless photos of himself, according to a federal law enforcement official.

Investigators are focusing on natural gas-fueled appliances as they search for the cause of Saturday’s explosion, which killed two people, leveled two homes and left dozens more uninhabitable. Indianapolis Homeland Security Director Gary Coons said Tuesday that his “investigators believe natural gas is involved” and were “recovering the appliances from destroyed homes to help determine the cause.” He made the announcement after the National Transportation Safety Board said investigators had found no leaks in the gas main or pipes leading into the n house that exploded. “Based on the NTSB statement, our focus is on the houses and appliances,” Coons said in a statement. Some residents expressed frustration at the pace of the investigation Tuesday night during a meeting of about 150 residents of the Richmond Hill subdivision held at a church near the damaged neighborhood. But 51-year-old Helen Upton, who attended the meeting, said she and most of her neighbors are willing to wait while officials sort through the evidence to pinpoint the cause and source of the suspected gas explosion. “It’s only been three days and there’s a lot of debris and rubble where that house blew up, so I’m not surprised they’re still being tight-lipped,” she said. “But I think some of the neighbors are obviously getting anxious. There’s just a lot of questions and a lot of ‘we don’t know yets.”’ Upton said she was at home sleeping while her ex-husband was visiting with their two children when a house about 50 to 60 yards away exploded. The blast nearly tossed her off her bed, she said, and shattered her home’s front windows, blew off its front door and buckled her garage door. Three days after the blast, Upton said, her household is “fully functioning” again and she’s thankful none of her family were injured. But she said her home still has some boarded up windows and other needed repairs and her kids’ nerves are frazzled. “My kids are having trouble sleeping. They’re afraid there could be another explosion since we don’t know what it was,” said Upton, who works at Indiana Farm Bureau. An owner of the house believed to be at the center of the explosion has said the home’s furnace had been having problems, but his estranged wife, Monserrate Shirley, said the furnace was fine.

That was not overlooked when it came to selecting the all-district teams. Lakers’ head coach Jon Shoffstall was named the Division II all-district coach of the year by the Miami Valley Scholastic Soccer Coaches Association. Shoffstall guided the Lakers to a program-high nine wins this fall. Indian Lake freshman Connor Davis was selected to the Division II all-district team along with Bellefontaine’s Zach Gingerich. Davis scored 22 goals, a school record, in his rookie season for the Lakers. He also added three assists. Gingerich turned in another strong campaign in goal for the Chiefs. The senior helped Bellefontaine to 10 shutouts this season, which is a new school record. JON On the girls SHOFFSTALL side, Bellefontaine senior standout Regan Price was named to the Division II first team. She returned from a knee injury she suffered during her junior season to lead the Chiefs in goals this fall. Only 12 players in each division from the entire Miami Valley received all-district honors. Miami Valley all-area teams The area’s soccer teams were well represented on the Miami Valley Scholastic Soccer Coaches Association all-area squads. CONNOR DAVIS ZACH GINGERICH For the boys, Indian Lake’s Shoffstall was named the North coach of the year and Benjamin Logan’s Rob Painter was selected the assistant coach of the year. Shoffstall also was selected to coach in the Miami Valley allstar game. Earning first-team all-North honors in Division II were Indian Lake’s Davis, Bellefontaine’s Gingerich and Ben Logan’s Timon Mannings. Second-team awards for Division II went to Bellefontaine’s Dhaile Ballesteros and Indian Lake’s Tony Carpenter, while third- REGAN PRICE TIMON MANNINGS team selections included Bellefontaine’s Brett Wisner, Josh Neighoff and Ethan Tullis, Ben Logan’s Dan Kuhmer and Indian Lake’s Zach Allison and Dustin Roby.

Buckeyes have a growing dislike for Wisconsin BY RUSTY MILLER AP SPORTS WRITER COLUMBUS — It used to be that Ohio State players despised their longtime enemies to the North, Michigan, and abided everyone else on their schedule. No more. Now the Buckeyes also have a special level of dislike for the Wisconsin Badgers. “I don’t want to go on record saying that I hate Wisconsin more than Michigan,” Buckeyes wide receiver Corey Brown said, “but I hate Wisconsin just as much as Michigan.” A lot of that enmity will likely bubble to the surface when the sixth-ranked and unbeaten Buckeyes travel to play the Badgers at Camp Randall Stadium on Saturday. Blame the antagonism on chippy, close, contentious games the past few years. Each side says the other’s fans are obnoxious. Both have accused each other of grandstanding after victories, such as dancing on the opposing team’s logo at midfield after a rare road win. Along the way, they’ve worked up a heated little rivalry where once there was none. This year’s edition began during the middle of the winter. Wisconsin coach Bret Bielema alleged that Ohio State’s Urban Meyer was swooping in and stealing verbal commitments. Both coaches downplay it now. At the time it seemed like a natural extension of the battles that have been taking place on the field. “We do a lot of recruiting in Ohio. So the kids know each other,” Bielema said of the rivalry this week. “That builds up a little bit of animosity and some feelings out there more than anything. I’ve learned early on in my coaching career you lose more friends in recruiting in the coaching world than you do on game days.” The Badgers have three starters from the Buckeye state, including star linebacker Chris Borland (second in tackles and first in sacks and fumbles recovered), along with tight end Brian Wozniak and defensive lineman Pat Muldoon. Chase Hammond is a backup wide receiver and Darius Hilary is a second-teamer at cornerback as a freshman. Once just a blip on the schedule, now the game’s recent history raises the rancor on both sides. The Buckeyes won every meeting between 1960 and 1980, and have a 54-17-5 lead in the series. That mark does not count one of the most painful losses ever to the Badgers. Two years ago, the last time the Buckeyes visited America’s Dairyland, Ohio State was 6-0 and ranked No. 1 in the nation but David Gilreath returned the opening kickoff for a touchdown and the Buckeyes fell behind 21-3 at the half on the way to a 31-18 loss to the No. 18 Badgers. (Ohio State had to vacate the 2010 season as part of NCAA sanctions for violations committed under deposed coach Jim Tressel.) “I continually think about when we were ranked No. 1 a couple of years ago going into their house,” Ohio State cornerback Travis Howard said. “They took that away. A lot of guys on the team, especially the seniors, are continually thinking about that moment and don’t want it to happen again — especially with the perfect season we’re having.” Meyer is in his first year at Ohio State as head coach, but has a sense of the emotional tug of war between the teams. “I’m learning about it. I think they stole a season,” he said, referring to the 2010 upset. “(The Ohio State players) were telling me that story a little bit. It’s interesting hearing our players talk about it. This is a rivalry game because you have to understand who you’re playing and what they’ve done the last few years.” If you’re looking for omens, the week before that Ohio State team’s perfect season was ended, undefeated Alabama was No. 1 and was upset — just as it was a week ago by Texas A&M.

Watson, left, and Brook Lopez, right, defend the Cleveland Cavaliers’ Kyrie Irving during the second half Tuesday in New York. The Nets won 114-101. Williams, Johnson lead Nets over Cavaliers 114-101 NEW YORK (AP) — Brooklyn’s Backcourt broke out. Deron Williams had 26 points and 10 assists, Joe Johnson scored 25 points, and the Nets beat the road-weary Cleveland Cavaliers 114-101 on Tuesday night for their third straight victory. Expected to be one of the league’s best guard tandems, Williams and Johnson are still trying to find their way together in a new home on a rebuilt team. They know games such as this one are expected, and both said they can be delivered regularly. “It’s probably the best game that we’ve had together,” Johnson said. “It’s still early in the season, but yeah, I’m sure that’s the vision everybody had, that’s the vision I had and I’m sure this won’t be the last (big) game. Like I say man, we’re just figuring things out.” Brook Lopez added 23 points for the Nets, who opened a 20-point lead at home for the third straight game, but this time barely let up and beat the Cavaliers for the sixth time in eight meetings after losing nine in a row, mostly during the LeBron James era. Anderson Varejao scored a career-high 35 points and grabbed 18 rebounds for the Cavaliers, who were wrapping up a six-game, coast-to-coast trip and played much of the game with the urgency of a team that wanted to be home. They haven’t played there since Nov. 2, their second game of the season, and dropped the final four games of the trip to finish 1-5. Williams and Johnson, perennial All-Stars who have been nicknamed “Brooklyn’s Backcourt,” put things together for the first time since the Nets acquired Johnson from Atlanta over the summer. Neither had a 20-point game before Tuesday, and Johnson had been shooting only 36.2 percent. Williams shot 10 of 20, and Johnson was 9 of 16 while adding six assists and five rebounds. “It definitely felt like we played better together today and like I said, we both got going today which was good, so hopefully we can continue to make improvements,” Williams said. “Me and him have been talking a lot the last couple of days trying to get each other going and find out where, you know, our spots are on the court.” The Nets held Orlando below 20 points in a franchise-record seven straight quarters during a home-and-home sweep and were allowing 90.4 points per game, fourth-best in the NBA. But the offense had been spotty, particularly once they got ahead. They blew a 22-point lead last week in a loss to Minnesota and most of a 20point advantage Sunday against the Magic. This time, there was no letup, in part because they just ran by a Cleveland team that didn’t have its legs.

Especially Curry, a senior guard. After Duke let Kentucky back in the game by continuing to put up errant 3-pointers, Curry finally changed things up. He pumped faked and took off for the hoop, drawing a foul on Goodwin with just over 2 minutes remaining. He knocked down both ends of the one-andone, pushing Duke to a 66-61 lead with 2:04 remaining. Poythress gave the Wildcats a semblance of hope, putting back a missed shot, but Curry blew by Goodwin for a layin that made it 68-63 with 1:13 left and essentially sealed it. Calipari called a timeout and screamed at Goodwin as the freshman walked toward the bench. In the final minute, Curry added two more free throws to finish off the Wildcats. Plumlee fouled out near the end, but not before scoring 18 points in 29 minutes. Ryan Kelly and Sulaimon had 10 points apiece. Both Curry and Sulaimon hit three shots beyond the arc, as the Blue Devils finished 8 of 18 from 3-point range. AP SPORTS WRITER ATLANTA — Seth Curry scored 23 points and No. 9 Duke held off a furious comeback by No. 3 Kentucky, beating the defending national champions 75-68 Tuesday night in the first matchup between the storied programs since 2001. Duke (2-0) appeared to be in control, even with Mason Plumlee on the bench in foul trouble. The Blue Devils ripped off a 13-3 run, capped by Rasheed Sulaimon’s 3-pointer that made it 58-44 with 9 1/2 minutes remaining. But Kentucky (1-1) wasn’t done, rallying like the defending champ even though this is essentially a whole new team in coach John Calipari’s one-anddone system. The Wildcats outscored Duke 17-6 over the next six minutes and actually had a chance to tie it. Julius Mays missed a 3pointer with the Blue Devils clinging to a 64-61 lead. Curry made sure youthful Kentucky didn’t get any closer. He schooled freshman guard Archie Goodwin on a drive — using a pump fake to get past the Wildcat — that essentially clinched the win.

Alex Poythress led Kentucky with 20 points, while Nerlens Noel and Goodwin added 16 apiece. All are freshmen, showing this team has plenty of room to grow before tournament time. Even though Kentucky opened the season with a victory over Maryland, Calipari wasn’t happy with his team’s effort — especially on the boards. They were outrebounded 54-38 by the Terrapins, including 28 at the offensive end. That was simply unacceptable given Kentucky’s vaunted frontcourt featuring the 6-foot10 Noel and 7-footer Willie Cauley-Stein. Rebounding wasn’t as much Steelers’ Roethlisberger has sprained shoulder BY WILL GRAVES AP SPORTS WRITER PITTSBURGH — Ben Roethlisberger left Heinz Field on Monday night with his sprained right shoulder in a sling. When he walks back in ready to play is anybody’s guess. Tomlin called Pittsburgh’s franchise quarterback “questionable” but otherwise offered little detail Tuesday, less than 24 hours after Roethlisberger was pounded into the ground by Kansas City Chiefs linebackers Tamba Hali and Justin Houston in the third quarter of Pittsburgh’s 1613 overtime victory. “He is being evaluated,” Tomlin said. “Obviously this injury puts his participation in the questionable category for this week.” Roethlisberger left the game and went to the hospital to for Buckeyes Continued from Page 7 Just last year, the Buckeyes broke the Badgers’ hearts. Quarterback Braxton Miller danced around to avoid a rush and heaved a 40-yard touchdown pass to Devin Smith with 20 seconds remaining to upset No. 15 Wisconsin, 3329, in Ohio Stadium. “It comes up a lot in the players’ minds,” said Wisconsin’s record-setting running back, Montee Ball. “That was a game we felt we could MINNICH FAMILY TRUST AUCTION have won and we didn’t. We just tell everybody that same thing can happen if we don’t go out and execute the way we want to. And way we plan to.” Ohio State has won six of the last 11 meetings and holds a narrow 239-231 edge in points over that span. Don’t expect either side to exchange air-kisses before or after the game. “I really don’t like them, to tell you the truth,” Buckeyes defensive lineman Johnathan Hankins said. “I’m sure they probably hate us too, but I really don’t care what they think.” an MRI-exam. He underwent more tests on Tuesday to determine the severity of the sprain to the sternoclavicular (SC) joint in his throwing shoulder. The SC joint connects the collarbone to the sternum. Treatment can range from a few days of rest and ice to as much as 4-6 weeks according to Dr. Victor Khabie, chief of sports medicine at Northern Westchester Hospital in Mount Kisco, N.Y. “You could tape it, you could do that stuff but the reality is those ligaments just have to heal,” Khabie said. “If you go throwing, you slow down the healing process.” Roethlisberger was scrambling in the pocket to buy time on Pittsburgh’s first possession of the second half when Houston wrapped up Roethlisberger’s legs and Hali slammed into him, driving the quarterback’s right side into the damp Heinz Field turf. Roethlisberger didn’t appear to be hurt walking off the field but quickly made his way to Swimmers Continued from Page 7 For the boys 8-and-under age division, Kelvin Ong was fifth in the 25 breaststroke, eighth in the 25 butterfly, 11th in the 25 freestyle and 12th in the 25 backstroke and Jacob Salyer finished 11th in the 13th in the 25 backstroke and 14th in the 25 freestyle. In the 9-10 division, Jared Salyer placed fifth in the 50 breaststroke, eighth in the 50 butterfly, 11th in the 50 backstroke, 11th in the 100 individ- ual medley and 12th in the 50 freestyle, Ryan Braig finished 10th in the 50 butterfly and 18th in the 100 individual medley and Dylan Jordan was 15th in the 50 backstroke. For the boys 11-12 age group, Collin Jordan finished 19th in the 50 freestyle. In the 13-14 age division, Kohl Moore was 14th in the 100 freestyle and 16th in the 100 backstroke.

Honestly it didn’t seem like it.” If Roethlisberger can’t play, the Steelers (6-3) will turn veteran backup Byron Leftwich, who completed 7 of 14 passes for 73 yards in relief as Pittsburgh won its fourth straight game thanks to Shaun Suisham’s 23-yard field goal 51 seconds into the extra period. The 32-year-old Leftwich hasn’t started a game since 2009, when he went 0-3 for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. His last victory came on Oct. 8, 2006 when the Jacksonville Jaguars beat the New York Jets 41-0. The former first round pick has spent most of the last six years as a backup while dealing with a series of significant injuries. He missed all of last season after breaking his arm in a preseason game and threw seven regular season passes in 2010 after hurting his knee at the end of training camp. <RXFDQVWRS0HGLFDUHIUDXG ,W¶VDVHDV\DV 3527(&7 \RXU0HGLFDUH1XPEHU '(7(&7 5HDG\RXU0HGLFDUH 6XPPDU\1RWLFH 5(3257 <RXU&RQFHUQVWR 1-800-488-6070 www.proseniors.org 3UR6HQLRUV2UJ No-Cost Legal Hotline Dr. Larry and Dr. Gary Kennedy Welcoming New Patients!

You brainstorm easily with others, and you always seem to come up with more ideas as a result. Express your concern for a child or loved one. Allow your imagination to flow, and you will express a more resourceful side. You seem to drop words like “impossible” and “no” from your vocabulary, which creates more possibilities than you could have imagined. If you are single, you might fuss a lot as you spruce up for dates. Toss yourself into the excitement of the moment. If you are attached, most of your problems stem from misunderstandings. SAGITTARIUS always encourages you to take risks. The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult (c) 2012 Tribune Media Services, Inc.

A brainstorming session could be fruitful. The unexpected plays a large role in how events unfurl. You will respond in what might be considered a startling manner. Tonight: Nearly anything is possible. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) ##### You might keep pushing the limit with a partner. A discussion about ideas could be more important than you realize. A friend confuses plans without meaning to. Relax and work with the changes, if you can. Note a sudden insight. Tonight: Dinner for two. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) #### Others seek you out; try to remain responsive. Your imagination could take you in a new direction. Share some of these thoughts with a close associate. You could be surprised by this person’s reaction. You can’t predict what he or she will do. Tonight: Go with the program. CANCER (June 21-July 22) ### You might be unusually focused on your daily life. Somehow, someone shakes up the status quo, and you’ll realize how accustomed you have become to a tried-and-true routine. Allow yourself to be uncomfortable and let some new elements into your life. Tonight: Get some R and R. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) ##### Let your mind expand to other ways of thinking. You will notice the difference and be more positive as a result. A partner could surprise you with an idea, which might be hard to grasp. Your fiery personality emerges when facing the unexpected. Tonight: Let your hair down. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) ### Stay centered, and know what you want. Take some time to get grounded before heading into what could be an unusually busy day. A partner continues to be vague. This fugue state is authentic, but there really isn’t a reason for it. Give this person some space. Tonight: Order in. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) #### Stay on top of your work, an important situation or simply the day’s events. A friend or associate inadvertently could confuse plans or a conversation. You might decide to go off and do your own research in order to confirm what you are hearing. Tonight: Talk up a storm. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) ### Know that you could change your budget and priorities if you so choose. You might not be sure as to what your expectations are with a creative option or dynamic personality in your life. Think less and enjoy more. Tonight: Treat yourself well. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) #### You are energized, and you zoom right through any confusion. You’ll come out on top, no matter what. Your impulsiveness, mixed with your ingenuity, carries you easily through any hassles. A child or loved one could surprise you. Tonight: Let the fun begin. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) ### Your intuition tells you that more information is coming. Remember to assume a passive stance. Though this trait is not innate to you, it could work. Your resourceful mind cannot be turned off, so note the ideas that inevitably come forward. Remain positive. Tonight: At home. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) #### Your immediate concern goes from others’ evaluation of your work or performance to simply letting go and being yourself. You can’t push to the extent that you have without integrating some lighter and easier interactions. Tonight: A friend makes life far more appealing. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) #### Pull back and examine what is happening. Be careful not to make judgments or become triggered. Your eyes will open up to a new perspective, especially if you can accept responsibility for your side of the issue. Tonight: In the limelight.

AP PERSONAL FINANCE WRITER $3.50 $6 ............................................... BOSTON — Thanksgiving could be an opportune time to talk turkey about family finances, rather than merely eat the bird and prepare for the next big holiday. A detailed discussion could prove to be worthwhile, given the strong likelihood that older parents and their adult children have conflicting expectations about issues such as elder care, retirement security and inheritance. Survey results released today by Fidelity Investments found family members frequently disagree when asked privately about these hard-todiscuss topics. Key findings from the Boston-based financial services company include: • Twenty-four percent of the adult children surveyed expected they will have to help their parents financially at some point, yet 97 percent of the parents don’t expect to need help. • Nearly all of the older parents and their grown children — 97 percent — disagreed on $4.50 (Fri & Sat 7–10:30 p.m.) • KEGG’S GARAGE SOLD OUT $50 .................................................... $35 (5 per customer/per visit) $20 .................................................... $15 (Only 25 per month, 5 per customer) $50 cert ............................................. $35 Good toward Stihl chain saw $35 Good toward Stihl trimmer • LIBERTY GATHERING PLACE $10 ......................................................... $7 • MAD RIVER FARM MARKET $10 ............................................ $7.50 • MAD RIVER KNIFE & SUPPLY $7.50 $50 .................................................... $35 $199 ............................................. $149 $10 ............................................ 7pc.

Weather Underground • AP whether a child will take care of the parents if they become ill. One reason for the nearly universal disagreement is the small number of families who discuss their expectations in a comprehensive way. Just 10 percent of the adult children believed the conversations they had were very detailed, and 63 percent of the children and parents disagreed on the level of detail they had covered to date. • Adult children typically underestimate the value of their parents’ estate by more than $100,000 on average, in part because few families have a detailed discussion about how much might be passed down through inheritance. Older parents were more likely to believe a conversation had been detailed. • Expectations differ as to how financially well-off older parents will be in retirement. Thirty-eight percent of children thought their parents will have a very comfortable lifestyle, while just 20 percent of the parents said that about their retirements. Kathleen Murphy, Fidelity’s president of personal invest- ing, said the need for families to discuss these issues is likely to grow as more baby boomers reach retirement age, and as life expectancies continue to increase. “Getting more comfortable with these conversations is going to be really important,” Murphy said. “The burden only gets bigger.” The so-called “fiscal cliff” that’s dominating the postelection national political dialogue could serve as a jumping-off point for many families to shift holiday conversations to their own finances, Murphy says. The fiscal cliff denotes the potential tax increases and government spending cuts that begin to take effect Jan. 1 unless Congress and President Barack Obama can work out a deficit-reduction compromise. “It’s a more comfortable way to start these conversations — a conversation about the national economy can lead into a conversation about your personal economy,” she says. Avoiding the conversation means decisions are put off until there’s a family crisis, often resulting in sharp disagreements. $18 CALL 592-3060 *125 TO FIND OUT HOW!

We Bring You Logan County! Lack of communication was a key theme in the survey findings. Sixty-eight percent of older parents said they were more comfortable talking about these matters to a third-party financial professional than they were with family members. That was the case for 60 percent of the adult children. The lack of discussion contributed to differing views about how often older parents worry about their long-term financial security. Forty-six percent of adult children think their parents worry at least once a month, while just 32 percent of parents reported they worry that often. Adult children may be more concerned about these issues than their parents because many are part of what’s known as the “Sandwich Generation,” middle-aged people trying to care for their elderly parents while also supporting their own children. Such parents “may be grappling with planning for their own retirement, helping to fund a child’s college education and dealing with eldercare and retirement challenges with their parents as well,” Murphy says. Wal-Mart launches food subscription service NEW YORK (AP) — Wal-Mart Stores Inc. today officially launched a mail subscription service, called Goodies, that lets shoppers discover new foods from the comfort of their homes. For a monthly fee of $7 that includes tax and shipping, customers get a box of five to eight hand-picked, sample-size food items, ranging from organic to ethnic products that are not currently carried on Wal-Mart’s shelves. The world’s largest retailer began testing the service three months ago and so far has 3,000 subscribers. For November items include pumpkin souffle mix, white cheddar popcorn and dark chocolate-infused Quinoa bars. It works like this: users can sign up for the service at www.goodies.com. The monthly price is almost half of the total value of the items if they were purchased separately, according to Wal-Mart.
