Firefighters from Sidney Fire and Emer- gency Services, Fort Loramie, Houston, Lock- ington, Maplewood, Port Jefferson, Russia, New Knoxville, Osgood and Shelby County were on hand for the training exercise. The reason for the training was because of the re- cent purchase of a new grain rescue tube. The tube, from Liberty Rescue Tube, will be used in situations where a person becomes trapped in flowing grain such as inside a storage bin, silo or truck. The tube is placed around the victim and the grain left inside the tube is vacuumed out, which then frees the victim. The tool will be kept at Sidney Fire and will be available to anyone in or around Shelby County. Purchase of the equipment cost about $4,000 and the training cost was $3,000.

After conditioning fora month, fourth- andfifth-grade students atNorthwood ElementarySchool recently partici-pated in a one-mileTurkey Trot on schoolgrounds.The Turkey Trot was
held Nov. 9 for all stu-dents. As part of theschool’s physical educa-tion and health program,students worked withteachers Angie Mentgesand Darla Kreitzer toprepare for the event.Starting this year,
younger students ingrades K-3 also partici-pated in a Chickie Trot,allowing these studentsto run approximately200 to 400 yards for asimilar event. This eventwas run by NorthwoodPrincipal Greg Johnsonand Assistant PrincipalEric Finke.“It’s important for
students to learn thevalue of physical activityand setting goals forthemselves,” explainedMentges. “Instead ofcompeting against oneanother, students wereencouraged to beat theirown personal record dur-ing the race.”Many students com-
pleted the race in lessthan 10 minutes, meet-ing their goals and en-joying themselves in theprocess. Dannon Yogurthelped to sponsor theevent, donating yogurtproducts for each stu-dent.“We are extremely
proud of all the studentswho participated in theTrot,” said Mentges.“They all worked veryhard. In our physical ed-ucation classes, studentshave been learningabout heart health. Stu-dents have been chart-ing their times for themile course and record-ing their resting, activeand cool-down heartrates. All students madeimprovements.”Students also created
a personal fitness planso they can continuetheir aerobic workoutsbeyond the Turkey Trot.

IN THIS Wednesday photo, Pam Bialecki works on a 2012 Jeep Wrangler atthe Chrysler Toledo Assembly complex. Chrysler says it will add 1,100 jobs atthe assembly complex as part of a $1.7 billion investment to build a new Jeepsport utility vehicle.
BY JOHN SEEWERAssociated Press
TOLEDO (AP) — Thistown that has been churn-ing out Jeeps since WorldWar II, watching its for-tunes rise and fall withthe well-being of Detroit’sautomakers, is now find-ing itself in an enviableposition within the car in-dustry.Chrysler and General
Motors have promised inrecent months to spendmore than $800million onretooling and expandingtheir factories here.These moves will cre-
ate 1,400 jobs and keepthousands more at thethree factories operatedby the major automakersand at the smaller partsplants that supply them.The auto revival is
raising spirits aroundOhio’s fourth-largest city,where high-paying factoryjobs have dwindled. Justan hour south of Detroit,the city for generationssupplied the auto indus-try with spark plugs,transmissions and glass.But it has lost a third ofits manufacturing jobsover the last decade andunemployment now hov-ers above 10 percent, justabove the state average.That’s why Toledo
Mayor Mike Bell calledChrysler Group LLC’s de-cision announcedWednes-day — to add 1,100 jobsand make its assemblyplant a key part of its fu-ture — “the equivalent ofa blood transfusion for ourcity.”It’s safe to say these
deals would have beenhard to pull off without co-operation among themajor players.“This didn’t happen
overnight,” said KenLortz, who’s in charge ofthe United Auto Workersin Ohio. “It was labor, itwas management, it wasgovernment, it was every-body sitting there sayingwhat do we need. Andthrough that process wegot tremendous invest-ment made all over Ohioand particularly in north-west Ohio.”Ohio Congresswoman
Marcy Kaptur, a Democ-rat from Toledo who iswildly popular amongauto workers, creditedthem for sacrificing payand benefits and accept-ing lower wages for newhires in recent contractsin order to make sure theautomakers didn’t leavetown.“Sacrifice and partner-
ship,” she said. “Sacrificeby all the workers. Part-nership between the com-pany, the union, the city,state and federal govern-ment. They worked to-gether to do something noone of them could havedone alone.”Chrysler worker
Richard Gartee, who’sbeen making Jeeps for 28years, said all sides recog-nized what was at stake.“It’s been a pretty big
turnaround,” said Gartee,56. “We still make a goodwage, but remember wegave up a lot.”Chrysler’s assembly
plant, which opened in2001,nowhas about 1,800workers and produces theJeep Liberty and Wran-gler along with the soon-to-be-discontinued DodgeNitro.The plant will begin
producing a new Jeepsport utility in 2013 to re-place the Liberty. But ex-pectations are that it
won’t be the only newmodel coming to Toledo.Chrysler CEO Sergio
Marchionne said lastweek there will be a newvehicle to replace theNitro and hinted thatother vehicles could bebuilt on the same assem-bly line. He also saidthere’s a chance of ex-panding Wrangler pro-duction if its salesincrease overseas.“This plant has been at
the heart of what we’vedone,”he said,adding thatthe latest expansion “rein-forces the special relation-ship between Chryslerand the city of Toledo.”
DAYTON (AP) — Every school dis-trict in Ohio will be using new onlinestate testing to replace pencil-and-paper versions, but some schools areunsure how the new computers andneeded software will be funded.The online testing will reflect the
Common Core curriculum beingadopted by 45 states and the Districtof Columbia, the Dayton Daily Newsreported (http://bit.ly/uRtm9S ). Thetests are expected to be in place for the2014-15 school year.The curriculum is designed to re-
place standards that often variedstate-to-state.The computer tests will be a major
change from how things have been tra-ditionally done in Ohio. Rather thanfill in bubbles on a multiple choice testor write answers in a blue book or onloose leaf, students will sit in front ofcomputer screens several times a yearanswering questions online. Somequestions will include video.It’s unclear how much the transi-
tion to computerized testing will costthe state or school districts. The dis-tricts must have enough computers toallow a large number of students totake multiple tests.That has some cash-strapped dis-
tricts worried.“We have lots of concerns but not
answers,” Kettering SuperintendentJim Schoenlein told the newspaper.He
said the state could choose to pick upthe cost, or pass it on to districts.“I surely hope that if they are going
to mandate statewide testing thatthey pick up the financial responsibil-ity for that, but that’s surely no guar-antee.”If the state decides to pass on the
cost to local districts, taxpayers wouldhave to foot the bill.While Ohio has federal Race to the
Top money to develop standards andtesting, it is uncertain how much ofthat will be used to help districts getthe technology they need to adminis-ter the new tests, Ohio Department ofEducation spokesman Dennis Evanssaid.“How things are implemented and
what resources there are, that’s a con-versation that is still ongoing,” Evanssaid.Some schools welcome the new test-
ing.“I think online testing is the way to
go,” said Huber Heights Superintend-entWilliam Kirby, who added that hisdistrict will be ready when testingrolls out.“(Teachers) are able to use those re-
sults much more quickly in adjustingtheir instruction.”

BEIRUT (AP) —Rocket-propelled grenadesstruck the headquarters ofSyria’s ruling party Sun-day, bringing the violencethat has engulfed much ofthe country to the heart ofits capital for the firsttime, activists said.The attack on the build-
ing in Syria’s capital ofDamascus apparentlycaused no damage or casu-alties. But if true, it wouldmark a significant shift inthe eight-month uprisingagainst President BasharAssad. Until now, the capi-tal has remained relativelyuntouched.The pre-dawn attack
awoke many Syrians whoreported hearing two loudblasts, but details couldnot be confirmed. The for-eign minister denied an at-tack had taken place, andSyrian television broad-cast footage of the buildinglooking undamaged.
ANAMOSA, Iowa (AP)— The race for the Repub-lican presidential nomina-tion is deeply unsettledwith an anything-can-happen feel six weeks be-fore Iowans start thestate-by-state process ofchoosing a GOP challengerfor President BarackObama.Hoping to sway the
many voters who are stillundecided,most of the con-tenders visited the state inthe past week and the paceof campaigning is certainto accelerate after Thanks-giving, when the month-long sprint to the Jan. 3caucuses begins.A crush ofnew TV ads is certain. Ex-pect mailboxes filled withbrochures and repeatedvisits by candidates to din-ers, town squares andother must-stop venues.

CAIRO (AP)—Egyptian sol-diers and police set fire toprotest tents in Cairo’s TahrirSquare and fired tear gas andrubber bullets in a major as-sault Sunday to drive out thou-sands demanding that themilitary rulers quickly transferpower to a civilian government.At least seven protesters werekilled and hundreds were in-jured.It was the second day of
clashes marking a sharp esca-lation of tensions on Egypt’sstreets a week before the firstelections since the ouster oflongtime authoritarian leaderHosni Mubarak in February.Themilitary took over the coun-try, promising a swift transitionto civilian rule. But the pro-democracy protesters who ledthe uprising have grown in-creasingly angry with the rul-ing generals, and suspect theyare trying to cling to power evenafter an elected parliament isseated and a new president isvoted in.Themilitary-backedCabinet
said in a statement that elec-tions set to begin on Nov. 28would take place on time andthanked the police for their “re-straint,” language that is likelyto enrage the protesters evenmore.“We’re not going anywhere,”
protester Mohammed Radwansaid after security forces triedunsuccessfully to push thecrowds out of Tahrir, the epi-center of the uprising. “The
mood is good now and peopleare chanting again,” he addedafter many of the demonstra-tors returned.Two protesters were killed
on Saturday, putting the tollfor two days of violence tonine. The clashes were someof the worst since the uprising
ended on Feb. 11.They were also one of only a
few violent confrontations to in-volve the police since the upris-ing. The black-clad police werea hated symbol of Mubarak’sregime and after the uprising,they have largely stayed in thebackground while the military
took charge of security.Themilitary,which took over
from Mubarak, has repeatedlypledged to hand power to anelected civilian government,buthas yet to set a specific date.The protests over the past twodays have demanded a specificdate be set.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP)—A California uni-versity placed two of its police officers on ad-ministrative leave Sunday because of theirinvolvement in the pepper spraying of pas-sively sitting protesters, while the school’schancellor accelerated a task force’s investiga-tion into the incident amid calls for her resig-nation.The president of the 10-campus University
of California system also weighed in on thegrowing fallout from Friday’s incident at UCDavis, saying that he is “appalled” at imagesof students being doused with pepper sprayand plans a far-reaching, urgent assessment oflaw enforcement procedures on all campuses.“I implore students who wish to demon-
strate to do so in a peaceful and lawful fash-ion. I expect campus authorities to honor thatright,” UC President Mark G. Yudof said. All10 chancellors would convene soon for a dis-cussion “about how to ensure proportional lawenforcement response to non-violent protest,”he said.Officials at UC Davis refused to identify the
two officers who were place on administrativeleave but one was a veteran of many years onthe force and other “fairly new” to the depart-ment, the school’s Police Chief AnnetteSpicuzza told TheAssociated Press. She wouldnot elaborate further because of the pendingprobe.Videos posted online of the incident clearly
show one riot-gear clad officer dousing the lineof protesters with spray as they sit in a linewith their arms intertwined. Spicuzza told the
AP that the second officer was identified dur-ing an intense review of several videos.“We really wanted to be diligent in our re-
search, and during our viewing of multiplevideos we discovered the second officer,”Spicuzza said. “This is the right thing to do.”Both officers were trained in the use of pep-
per spray as department policy dictates, andboth had been sprayed with it themselves dur-ing training, the chief noted.Meanwhile, UC Davis Chancellor Linda
Katehi said she has been inundated with re-action from alumni, students and faculty.“I spoke with students this weekend and I
feel their outrage,” Katehi said in a statementSunday.Katehi also set a 30-day deadline for her
school’s task force investigating the incident toissue its report. The task force, comprised ofstudents, staff and faculty, will be chosen thisweek. She earlier had set a 90-day timetable.She also plans to meet with demonstrators
Monday at their general assembly, said herspokeswoman, Claudia Morain.On Saturday, the UC Davis faculty associa-
tion called for Katehi’s resignation, saying ina letter there had been a “gross failure of lead-ership.” Katehi has resisted calls for her toquit.“I am deeply saddened that this happened
on our campus, and as chancellor, I take fullresponsibility for the incident,” Katehi saidSunday. “However, I pledge to take the actionsneeded to ensure that this does not happenagain. I feel very sorry for the harm our stu-dents were subjected to and I vow to work tire-lessly to make the campus a more welcomingand safe place.”

ZINTAN, Libya (AP) —Libya’s new leaders said Sun-day they will try MoammarGadhafi’s son at home and nothand him over to the Interna-tional Criminal Court wherehe’s charged with crimesagainst humanity. The gov-ernment also announced thecapture of the toppledregime’s intelligence minister,who is also wanted by thecourt.In one of several emerging
complications, however, theformer rebel faction that cap-tured Seif al-Islam Gadhafi aday earlier is refusing to de-liver him to national authori-ties in Tripoli, raising concernover whether he will get aproper trial and demonstrat-ing the interim leaders’ weakhold over their fractured na-tion.In the capital, Information
Minister Mahmoud Sham-mam said ex-IntelligenceMinister Abdullah al-Senoussi was captured aliveon Sunday by revolutionaryfighters from a southern re-gion called Fazan, not far fromwhere Gadhafi’s son wasseized on Saturday while try-ing to flee to neighboringNiger.Fighters tracking al-
Senoussi for two days caughtup with him at his sister’shouse in Deerat al-Shati,about 40 miles (70 kilometers)south of the desert city ofSebha, said fighter Abdullahal-Sughayer. There were fewother immediate details onhis capture, and it was notclear whether his captorswould also resist turning himover to Tripoli.Though they are wanted by
the International CriminalCourt in The Hague, Nether-lands, Libya will likely seek totry both men at home.Speaking earlier in the day,
before al-Senoussi’s capture,the information minister saidSeif al-Islam, the oustedLibyan leader’s one-time heirapparent, must be tried inLibya even though the coun-try’s new leaders have yet toestablish a court system.

A PROTESTER throws a tear gas grenade back at Egyptian riot police near the interior min-istry in downtown Cairo, Egypt, Sunday. Firing tear gas and rubber bullets, Egyptian riot po-lice on Sunday clashed for a second day with thousands of rock-throwing protestersdemanding that the ruling military quickly announce a date to hand over power to an electedgovernment. The police battled an estimated 5,000 protesters in and around central Cairo'sTahrir Square, birthplace of the 18-day uprising that toppled authoritarian leader HosniMubarak in February.

During the summersof 1960 and 1961, whilea student at the Univer-sity of Hawaii, I workedfor The Honolulu Adver-tiser, first as an officeboy and then as a tempo-rary payroll bookkeeper.One day during my sec-ond summer, I noticedthis seemingly energetichaole woman scurryingalong the hallway.An ad-jacent co-worker told methat she was Heloise,who wrote a column forthe newspaper.
What I noticed mostabout Heloise was thecolor of her hair. Buttime has faded the exactcolor from my memory.Was it pink, orange orgreen? Or all of theabove at different times?Aloha! — George Arita,Oak View, Calif.
Aloha, George!Thanks so much forsharing your memory ofmy mother, the originalHeloise (1919-1977). Shedid like to spray her hairto match her outfit.When she first startedthis column, more than50 years ago, she coloredher hair silver so shewould look older andwiser! But as the yearswent on, green, sapphireblue and orchid were herfavorites. So, it doesn’tsurprise me, because youcould have seen her withany of the above colors. Ican remember her withpurple hair!

Thanks for your letter— you made me smile.— Heloise

Sister’s sex activity upsettingDR. WAL-
LACE: I’m 17and my older sis-ter is 19, and weare very, veryclose. She hasbeen going withher boyfriend forover two years.They are consid-ered the “perfectcouple” by hismom and dadand also by myparents. Lastweek, my sister told methat they have been hav-ing sex for the past
month. Shesaid they bothfeel they aremature enoughto have a sex-ual relation-ship and thatthey love eachother verymuch. It an-swers a lot ofquestions thatI had about hermoody behav-ior the past few
weeks. I’m reallystunned about all this. Iguess you could say that
I’m also very disap-pointed, especially sinceher boyfriend appears tohave a “holier than thou”attitude. My question is,should I keep quiet orshould I tell my parentswhat’s happening? -Nameless, Atlanta, Ga.
NAMELESS: Don’ttell your parents. Thereis little, if anything, theycan do to encourage yoursister to give up her “ex-tracurricular” activities.Do discuss with your sis-ter the need for properprotection.

Members of the Ki-wanis Club of Sidneylearned about Eliza-beth’s New Life Centerduring their meetingNov. 9. David O’Leary,development officer forElizabeth’s New LifeCenter, was the guestspeaker.Elizabeth’s New Life
Center provides posi-tive solutions for thechallenges of unex-pected pregnancies, ac-cording to O’Leary.The New Life Center
has five core programs:women’s centers, pre-natal care; in schoolyouth development;marriage educationprograms; and afterabortion support.There are six
women’s centers, one ofwhich is in Sidney at2579 Michigan St.Women’s Center Sid-
ney has been in exis-
tence, in one form oranother, since 1983,O’Leary told the group.The forerunner was theProblem PregnancyCenter which wasstarted by Henry Cor-donnier, Ken Knapkeand Mike Gilardi.In 2006, the Women’s
Center Sidney mergedwith Elizabeth’s NewLife Center. It has fourpaid staff and 15 volun-teers. The main focus ofthe center is to servepregnant women facingunexpected pregnan-cies.

Cushing’s disease explained
Wife wants to wash her man right out of holiday kitchen
DEAR DR.D O N O H U E :Please give meinformation onCushing’s dis-ease. What areits symptoms?How is it diag-nosed? How is ittreated? — T.D.
ANSWER: Around face re-sembling a fullmoon, weightgain— especiallyin the trunk area,thin skin that’s easilytraumatized, facial hairgrowth in women, loss ofperiods, erectile dysfunc-tion, an outbreak of acne,purple stretch marks, os-teoporosis, a rise in bloodsugar and elevated bloodpressure are some of thesigns and symptoms ofCushing’s disease.
Harvey Cushing wasa famous American sur-geon who died in 1939.He discovered that a pi-tuitary tumor caused theabove signs and symp-toms that now bear hisname. The pituitarygland is a small gland lo-cated on the underside ofthe brain. It releaseshormones that stimulate
other glands, likethe thyroid, adre-nal, ovary andtestes, into ac-tion. In Cush-ing’s disease, thepituitary pro-duces too muchACTH, adreno-corticotropic hor-mone, a hormonethat prods theadrenal glands toproduce toomuch cortisone.Excessive corti-
sone is responsible forall the signs and symp-toms I listed.
The appearance of thepatient is one big clue tothe diagnosis. High val-ues for blood and urinelevels of adrenal glandhormones are anotherclue. An MRI scan of thebrain shows the pitu-itary tumor.
Removal of the tumoralmost always cures thisdisease. Today’s surgeryis much different fromthe surgery of Cushing’sdays. Special instru-ments can be directed tothe tumor through thenose or the roof of themouth to grab it andeliminate it.The surgeon
doesn’t have to cutthrough the skull.
Adrenal gland tumors,not caused by excessACTH, are anothercause of Cushing’s dis-ease. This situation isnot as common as is thepituitary tumor. Sur-geons remove adrenalgland tumors through anabdominal incision.
DEAR DR. DONO-HUE: How do I stop seb-orrheic keratoses fromspreading? They are onall parts of my body.Help! Currently I usesalicylic acid cream andhave used it for morethan a year with no re-sults. — J.L.
ANSWER: Tan,brown and, less often,black, raised, circularspots of skin, about aninch in diameter (3 cm)with a warty surface areseborrheic keratoses.They look like they’vebeen glued to the skin.They pop up on the back,chest, arms, legs, neck,face and scalp. Theirnumbers range from afew to hundreds. Theircause is unknown.
Seborrheic keratoses
are not skin cancers.They most often don’thurt or itch.They are un-sightly.
Even though you havemany, a doctor canscrape them off with aspecial instrument orfreeze them with liquidnitrogen. The treatmentcan be done in stages. Abountiful crop will taketime to remove.
How to stop theirspread? I’m sorry to saythat no one has come upwith a good way of doingso.
As an aside, the sud-den appearance of manykeratoses might be an in-dication of a hidden can-cer. If it comforts you, Ihave them too.

DEAR ABBY:What is a wife todo? My husbando c c a s i o n a l l ypitches in to helpme prepare holi-day meals.
He prideshimself on hisd i s h w a s h i n gskills, but whenhe’s done I haveto rewash most ofthe pots andpans because hedoesn’t check his work. If I ask him toredo them, he reacts as though it’s acriticism and has an over-the-top fit.
At times like Thanksgiving I’mstressed out cooking for the family
and would love his help, but it’s moretrouble than it’s worth. Discussing itwith him hasn’t been successful, andfriends have told me they have thesame problem. Can you provide astrategy that can keep us hummingalong happily with our husbands inthe kitchen? — DREADINGTHANKSGIVING IN L.A.
DEAR DREADING: Perhaps youshould soak the pots and pans imme-diately after you’re done cooking, sowhen the meal is done your husbandwill have an easier job of washingthem. If any food is still hard to re-move, offer to help him by filling theutensils with water and placing themon the stove; let them boil a while,and then wash them again with de-tergent and a brush. That should
solve your problem.
DEAR ABBY: I have wanted ababy for a long time. Now that I’m 31,my desire is growing stronger. Myboyfriend of 11 years, “Chad,” is 35.His daughter lives with us and I haveraised her like she was mine.
Chad and I discussed having ababy and even went to a fertility clinicto make sure we’re healthy and wouldhave no complications trying to con-ceive. Now, almost a year later andstill no baby, he says he has a success-ful business, loves his life and doesn’twant any more kids!
“Maybe down the road” he “might”change his mind. I hate him for this. Ihad two abortions for him five yearsinto our relationship because he felt
we weren’t ready. He was starting hisbusiness and I was still in my lastyear of college.
Abby, please help me. I am furiouswith him, and I’m starting to pullaway from him and his daughter. —CHEATED IN NEW YORK
DEAR CHEATED: I’m sorry, butyour signature indicates you have afirm grasp of your situation. It ap-pears you will never have what youwant if you stay with Chad, so packyour bags and get on with your life.

Exercise To Win
YYooggaa ffoorr tthhee yyoouunnggeerr ggeenneerraattiioonnYoga Is For EverybodyYoga is a Hindu discipline of exercises practiced to promote control of the body and aimedat training the consciousness for a state of perfect spiritual insight and tranquility. Yoga is not areligion. Yoga is a philosophy of life. Yoga is for everybody. Everyone can do yoga, but mostthink of it as twisting the body into knots. Yoga is a safe, effective way to achieve overall fit-ness for everyone.Benefits of YogaThe more you practice yoga, the more benefits you will notice. Breathing techniques improveoxygen intake, making the lungs more efficient. Stretching lengthens the muscles increasingflexibility. The poses use body weight to strengthen and tone the muscles. The breathing andflow of the poses brings about a calmer and clearer mind, which reduces stress. While in theposes, concentration on body positioning, helps with improved posture on and off the yogamat. The contemplative mind-body connection lessens the chance of injury, whether that canbe in athletics or everyday activities.Overall FitnessA metabolic exchange occurs during physical activity when the breathing pattern comes intoplay. Yoga’s rhythm of inhaling and exhaling during physical activity brings oxygen to the mus-cles for better performance. Some exercise programs concentrate on muscle bulk in specificareas of the body, while yoga offsets the unevenness by offering a complete and balancedmind-body workout for all muscle groups. Yoga also helps with the mental game through mind-fulness and meditation.

Flyers blank Minster 28-0BY CHRIS BALLARD
WAPAKONETA — TheMarion Local Flyers and Min-ster Wildcats entered Satur-day night looking forward totheir Midwest Athletic Con-ference rematch against eachother.
For the Wildcats, it was anopportunity to avenge their26-17 regular-season loss tothe Flyers. As for the Flyers,it was an opportunity to knockthe Wildcats out of the play-offs, just as Minster had doneto them last season.
Marion stifled theWildcatsthe entire game on their wayto a 28-0 win. With the vic-tory, the Flyers are set to playMAC foe Delphos St. John’s inthe Division VI state semi-final game.
The rematch of the confer-ence foes will take place Sat-urday at Wapakoneta at 7p.m.
The first play of the gamegave a woeful feeling to theFlyers as sophomore quarterAdam Bertke was interceptedby Minster’s Korey Schultz.This put the Wildcats deep inFlyer territory.
But after a stalled drive,the Cats gave the ball awayon downs. The teams contin-ued to swap possessions forthe remainder of the firstquarter which ended 0-0.
With its offense being ableto find a rhythm, Marioncharged its way downfieldearly in the second quarter.Soon enough, Marion seniorrunning back Jake Heitkampfound his way to the endzoneas he hurried around the leftside for a 4-yard touchdownrun for a 7-0 lead with 10:46
left until halftime.The two teams would swap
possessions again. Soon,Mar-ion found itself with the ballfor another opportunity to ex-tend its lead. On a drive setup by big passes from Bertke,the Flyers were on the 4-yardline again. Just like the lasttime, Heitkamp’s number wascalled.
Going around the left sideagain, Heitkamp was able togrind his way to the endzonewhile bouncing off Minster de-fenders unable to bring himdown. With the extra point,the Flyers were up 14-0 with
3:43 left in the second quarter.Marion got the ball back
with under twominyutes togo in the half, and mounteda backbreaking scoringdrive.
Bertke was able to find re-ceiver Lee Pierron downfieldseveral times. With this, theFlyer offense was rolling onall cylinders.
The last drive of the firsthalf seemed like it was goingto end with Marion having theball on the 35-yard line ofMinster. Instead, Flyer re-ceiver Kellen Goettemoellerhad another idea as he hauled
in a touchdown pass fromBertke on the final play of thehalf. Pierron booted the extrapoint through the uprightsand helped extend his team’slead to 21-0.
From the first snap of thethird quarter, Minster’s of-fense looked new and re-freshed. To begin the drive,junior quarterback AdamNiemeyer found Poeppelmannear the left sideline. Afterthat, Niemeyer continuedfinding open receivers down-field.

COLUMBUS — There isno textbook that tells how tosurvive a season like OhioState’s football team has gonethrough this fall.
There are just individualchapters, written on the fly,the latest of which was theBuckeyes’ 20-14 loss to PennState on Saturday at OhioStadium.
Penn State (9-2, 6-1 BigTen) jumped out to a 10-pointlead in the game’s first 10minutes and OSU nevercaught up. It was the fourthstraight game Ohio State hasfallen behind early and theseventh time overall this sea-son that it had to try to playcatch-up from an early deficit.
This latest chapter looked alot like some of the earlierones.
Ohio State (6-5, 3-4 BigTen) faced adversity, battledhard, but in the end was donein by the other team beingjust a little better and by itsown mistakes.
Stephfon Green rushed for93 yards and scored twotouchdowns to lead PennState to its first victory in thepost-Joe Paterno Era.
With a win at Wisconsinthis Saturday, Penn Statewould win the Big Ten’sLeaders Division and ad-vance to the Big Ten’s firstconference championshipgame. But if the Badgerswin, they’ll go to the champi-onship game.
Freshman quarterbackBraxton Miller rushed for 105yards on 18 carries and had ahand in both Ohio Statetouchdowns. He rushed 24yards for a TD in the secondquarter, then hit tight endJake Stoneburner with a 7-yard pass for the Buckeyes’other score.
Ohio State got the lastavailable piece of the puzzleback on Saturday when seniorwide receiver DeVier Posey (4catches, 66 yards) played for
the first time this season afterserving a 10-game suspen-sion.
But even that wasn’tenough to push OSU over thetop against a Penn State teamdealing with even more ad-versity than the Buckeyeshave faced this season.
Defenses were expected todominate and they did in thesecond half. All the scoringcame in the first two quar-ters.
Two weeks ago, Ohio Statestill had hopes of winning theLeaders Division and playingfor the Big Ten title and a trip
to the Rose Bowl.Now after back-to-back
losses to Purdue and PennState, it must focus on its tripto Michigan this Saturdayand trying to play its way intoa bowl that is not too far fromthe bright lights of the bowlsit has become accustomed toin the last decade.
Center Mike Brewster saysit is possible the constant bat-tles against adversity havetaken a toll on the Buckeyesin recent games.
“You want to say, ‘No,’ butI’m sure at some point (itdoes). At the end of the day,
we’re college kids and we’vebeen through so much,” Brew-ster said. “That’s not an ex-cuse but it is a fact.
“It’s amazing how thisteam has stuck togetherthrough everything and that’swhat I’ll remember mostabougt this team – staying to-gether like we have.”
Probably the Buckeyes’finest hour was a goal linestand in the third quarterwhen Penn State had a first-down at OSU’s two-yard line.

HOMESTEAD, Fla. (AP) —Tony Stewart insisted he was-n't a title contender whenNASCAR's championship racebegan.
When it became clear heactually was a viable threat,he kicked it into anothergear and vowed to go forbroke in his pursuit of CarlEdwards.
Did he ever.Stewart used a powerful
and relentless drive — somemight suggest the best inNASCAR history — on Sun-day in the season finale toseize his third NASCARchampionship. He overcame ahole in the grill of his Chevro-let, a rain delay, used debat-able fuel strategy and made116 passes on the track to winat Homestead-Miami Speed-way.
Edwards led the most laps— 119 of the 267 — but fin-ished a helpless second. Thetwo ended up tied in the finalSprint Cup points standings,but Stewart's five victories —all in the chase — to Edwards'one gave him the champi-onship.
Stewart became the firstowner/driver to win the cham-pionship since the late AlanKulwicki in 1992, and thedriver to end Jimmie John-son's record five-year titlerun.
“Are you kidding me?”Stewart asked in VictoryLane. “We said all week we'djust go out and win the raceand didn't have to worryabout what he did. If thisdoesn't go down as one of thegreatest championship battlesin history, I don't know whatwill.”
If this doesn't go down asone of the greatest champi-onship battles in history, Idon't know what is.”
Edwards was disappointedbut held his head high afterthe race.
“This night is about TonyStewart. Those guys rose tothe occasion and they beatus fair and square,” Edwardssaid. “That is all I had. Wecame here and sat on thepole, led the most laps andTony still managed. That'sit. That's all I got at the end.That's as hard as I can drive.
“I told my wife, 'If I can'twin this thing, I'm going to bethe best loser NASCAR hasever had.' So, I'm going to tryreally hard to keep my headup and know that we'll just gonext year and we'll be just ashard to beat.”

CLEVELAND (AP) —Colt McCoy took a kneeon Cleveland’s sideline,closed his eyes and theyoung quarterbackasked for some help fromabove.This week, the
Browns got it.“There’s nothing
wrong with praying,”McCoy said.Jacksonville rookie
quarterback Blaine Gab-bert’s pass into the endzone on the game’s lastplay was incomplete, al-lowing the Browns to es-cape with a 14-10 winover the Jaguars on Sun-day.As McCoy watched
helplessly, Gabbert rifleda 3-yard pass high overthe middle that was offthe mark and caromedoff wide receiver MikeThomas’ outstretchedhands, and the Browns(4-6) celebrated a winthey nearly gave away.“We deserved this
one,” McCoy said. “Ourteam deserved this.”Last week, the
Browns lost 13-12 to theSt. Louis Rams whenCleveland botched asnap and reliable kickerPhil Dawson missed a22-yard field goal try.This one nearly endedunder similar circum-stances as Jacksonville’sfinal drive was set up byDawson missing a 38-yarder that sailed overthe top of the right post.“Everybody played
their hearts out and it’sabout time it went ourway,” said Browns line-backer D’Qwell Jackson,who covered Thomastightly on the final play.“We knew it was up tous. Right there. We hadto make the play and wedid.”McCoy shook off an
apparent shoulder in-jury and threw a 3-yardTD pass to Josh Cribbsin the fourth to giveCleveland a 14-10 lead.But Dawson’s stunningmiss with 2:49 left gavethe Jaguars (3-7) a finalchance and Gabbert,who had some good andbad moments, nearlypulled off the comeback.“It’s not the ending we
were looking for,” saidJaguars coach Jack DelRio, who defended hisuse of the clock in thefinal minute. “It’s not thefirst time this year we’vehad the opportunity.We’re really looking forthat breakout, game-winning drive. We had achance for our quarter-back to take us down. Hetook us down. We wereknocking on the door.Wejust couldn’t close it out.”Chris Ogbonnaya
rushed for 115 yards andscored on a 1-yard run forCleveland, ending a TDdrought at home thatlasted more than 158minutes.The Browns hadscoring drives of 87 and 85yards, rarities in the of-fense’s first season undercoach Pat Shurmur.But Shurmur knows
he can count on his de-fense, and the Browns’
didn’t disappoint.“I did trust that we
would get them stopped,”Shurmur said. “I trustour defense.”The Browns appeared
in control when Dawsonbooted his 38-yarder to-ward the goal post. How-ever, the officialsstanding directly underthe uprights ruled thehigh kick went wideright. Dawson arguedthat his kick shouldhave counted, but ref-eree Terry McAulay an-nounced the attemptcould not be reviewedbecause it sailed abovethe post.“The way we saw it
was part of the ball wasoutside of the outsideedge of the upright,” saidMcAulay, whose crewhad a few other toughcalls to make.Gabbert then drove
the Jaguars down thefield and Jacksonvillecaught a break whenBrowns cornerback JoeHaden was called for in-terference in the finalminute on third down.Maurice Jones-Drew
was stopped twice insidethe 5, and the Brownswere fortunate whenGabbert’s pass on sec-ond-and-goal went offwide receiver JasonHill’s chest in the backcorner of the end zonewith 3 seconds left.Haden believed he got ahand on Gabbert’s throw.That set up a dramatic
finale, and this one wentCleveland’s way, givingthe Browns a much-needed win before theirschedule gets rougher.Jackson said he was
ready for the pass.“I anticipated the play
and that’s a tough routeto cover because he’skind of going away,”Jackson said. “He cameinto my zone and I wentwith him.His arms wentup, I saw that. I put myarms up. He didn’t catchit, that’s all I know andall that matters.”Del Rio was asked
why he didn’t hand theball to Jones-Drew onthe last play.“You can make a case
for doing that,” Del Riosaid. “You can guess anynumber of plays whenyou don’t connect.We hadtwo guys with the ball inthe air in the vicinity —missed opportunities.”McCoy completed 17
of 24 passes for 199yards. And while hisnumbers were efficient,the second-year QBagain showed he’s agamer by staying in de-spite hurting his rightshoulder.

BALTIMORE (AP) —An uncharacteristic per-formance by the Balti-more Ravens defensewas offset by an uncom-monly effective outing byJoe Flacco and theteam’s oft-criticized of-fense.Flacco threw for 270
yards and two touch-downs, rookie TorreySmith had six catchesfor 165 yards, and Balti-more moved into firstplace in the AFC Northwith a nerve-racking 31-24 victory over theCincinnati Bengals onSunday.Playing without mid-
dle linebacker Ray Lewisfor the first time in 58games, the Ravens (7-3)nearly blew a 17-pointlead in the final 14 min-utes, yielded 483 yardsand let rookie quarter-back Andy Dalton throwfor 373.But Baltimore got 104
yards rushing and twotouchdowns from RayRice, and the defensemade big plays when itcounted most. After Ricewas stuffed on a third-and-1 with just over twominutes left, he re-mained confident.“I just looked at the
clock and I said, ‘Our de-fense will get it done,’”he recalled. “That’s thefaith I have in our guys.”Even without Lewis,
who watched from thesideline after beingplaced on the inactivelist with a toe injury.TheRavens’ spiritual leaderand leading tackler sawhis unit pick off threepasses and turn in agame-saving goal-linestand in the finalminute.Down 31-24, Cincin-
nati reached the Balti-more 7 before TerrellSuggs collared Dalton,
who was called for inten-tional grounding. Onfourth-and-goal, Daltonwas sacked by PernellMcPhee.The Bengals (6-4)
needed seven points be-cause on the previous se-ries, an apparent 9-yardtouchdown pass fromDalton to Jermaine Gre-sham was overturned bya replay that determinedthe receiver didn’t holdonto the ball at the endof a juggling catch. TheBengals settled for afield goal with 5:32 re-maining.“When the receiver
went to the ground, hehad the ball in his righthand,” referee Ron Win-ter said. “The balltouched the ground andhis hand came off theball.”Baltimore is locked in
a first-place tie with
Pittsburgh in the AFCNorth, but the Ravensown the tiebreaker byvirtue of their two winsover the Steelers.“No. 1 in the division,
that’s huge,” Suggs said.“Now we’re the master ofour destiny.”Even though it wasn’t
a banner day for the de-fense, the three intercep-tions set up twotouchdowns.“Whenever we can get
turnovers, it definitelymakes everybody’s jobeasier,” cornerback CaryWilliams said. “It’s justbeing able to capitalizeon opportunities, and wedid that today.”Dalton went 24 for 45
with a touchdown.Cincinnati was withoutstandout rookie wide re-ceiver A.J. Green, whohurt his right knee aweek earlier in a loss to
Pittsburgh.But the Bengals gave
Baltimore all it couldhandle.“We’ve won six games
to this point and we’llwin some more,” coachMarvin Lewis said.“We’ve just got to circlethe wagons, lick ourwounds and go.”One week earlier, the
Bengals came up shortin rallying from a 14-0deficit against Pitts-burgh. It was more of thesame against theRavens.“It comes down to the
fourth quarter. That’show every game’s beenfor us,” Dalton said.“We’ve got to start faster.We can’t wait arounduntil the end of the gameto pick it up, come outand get back in it. It’sdefinitely going to be afocus for us.”

But as the Wildcatsapproached the red zone,the tide began to turn asFlyer penalties sloweddown Minster’s momen-tum and the Cats turnedthe ball over on downs.For the remainder of
the third quarter, Mar-ion had possession of theball as they drove down-field and eventually ranout the clock to holdtheir 21-0 lead going intothe fourth quarter.Shortly into the
fourth quarter, Marion’sBertke scrambledthrough the Minster de-fense while shedding nu-merous tackles, thusfinding his way to theendzone. After anotherPierron kick, the Flyersheld a 28-0 lead with11:13 left in the game,which would be the finalscore.“You have to give
them all the credit in theworld,” said Moore.“That’s a great footballteam, and they just out-played us today.”

On first and seconddown, running backMichael Zordich carriedthe ball but was stoppedshort of the goal line.Quarterback Matt Mc-Gloin carried on thirddown and was stopped,then running back SilasRedd was stuffed onfourth down when he at-tempted to dive over theline.A touchdown would
have put Penn State upand probably sealedOSU’s fate early.“We just dug deep
down in ourselves andstopped them,” defensivetackle Johnathan Hank-ins said. “We just knewwe had to stop them. Itwas going to be the turn-ing point of the game ifthey got it.”The goal line heroics
were preceded and fol-lowed by costly OhioState mistakes.Penn State began that
series at Ohio State’s 11-yard line when Dan Her-ron fumbled as heattempted to hand off toJordan Hall in the wild-cat formation, where theball is snapped directlyto a running back, notthe quarterback.Then four plays after
the big stop, Carlos Hydefumbled the ball away toPenn State at OSU’s 46-yard line.The idea this was des-
tined to be a low-scoringgame looked like it wasgoing to be dispelledwhen Penn State took a20-14 lead.The Nittany Lions
came into Saturday withthe 10th-ranked offensein the Big Ten and OhioState was No. 11.But Penn State scored
the first three times ithad the football and hadthree plays of 38 yardsor more in the first twoquarters.After taking the open-
ing kickoff, Penn Statewent up six plays lateron a 39-yard run byGreen.The next time the Nit-
tany Lions got the ball,Anthony Fera’s 43-yardfield goal made it 10-0.Ohio State responded
with a 10-play, 77-yarddrive that ended with a24-yard scoring run byMiller to cut the lead to10-7.Penn State pushed
the lead back to 10points at 17-7 whenGreen’s 4-yard run wasthe final play in an 81-yard drive.A pass interception by
Orian Johnson set OSUup at Penn State’s 37-yard line and it took onlyfour plays until Millerhit tight end Stoneb-urner with a 7-yardscoring pass.But Penn State’s
Fera’s kicked a 46-yardfield goal (the longest ofhis career) as time ranout in the first half togive Penn State a 20-14lead.“This win isn’t about
me, it’s about the playersand this team,” interimPenn State coach TomBradley said. “I don’tthink any team in thehistory of college footballhas been through somuch in such a shorttime period. And tohang in there and fighttheir way through isgreat.”Bradley replaced Pa-
terno, who was firedafter 46 seasons as PennState’s coach for failingto aggressively pursue
