    DELPHOS DelphosCity Schools Board ofEducation members took thefirst of two steps necessaryto place a 5.5-mill CurrentOperating Expense Levyrenewal on the ballot for theMarch Primary.

    The board approvedretaining the legal services ofSquire, Sanders & Dempseyto provide the legal paperworkto renew the expiring operat-ing levy and approved a reso-

    lution declaring it necessaryto renew an existing currentexpense levy and requestedthe county auditor to certifythe total current tax valuationof the school district and thedollar amount of revenue thatwould be generated.

    The levy was first approvedin 1992 and generates approx-imately $572,211 each year.

    A special board meetinghas been set for 8 p.m. Nov.28 for the second step neces-sary to place the levy on theMarch ballot.

    The Finance Committeereport included discussionbrought up by a citizen con-cerned the district was goingto receive a windfall fromthe Van Wert County tax re-valuation. The members andguests searched and discusseda way to explain that the onlyincrease in tax receipts forthe school comes from the4.7 inside mills. Therefore,the net increase in valuationin Van Wert County from re-valuation is $2,121,310 mul-

    tiplied by .0047, giving theschool an increase in revenueof $9,970.16.

    It is important to notethat several properties in VanWert County will pay moretaxes in the coming year butmany will pay less becauseof the reduction factors fromthe 1976 House Bill 920,Treasurer Brad Rostorfersaid. The district will receiveincreased revenues from the$578,890 of new constructionin Van Wert County, underthe current effective ratesthat would generate $13,858.

    With the HB920 reduction,the effective rate will belower on that, thus producingslightly less.

    The two newly-electedboard members attendedthe meeting. Joe Rode andMichael Wulfhorst will taketheir seats on the board inJanuary.

    In other business, theboard:

    Approved the followinglist of volunteers for the win-ter sports season: girls basket-ball Ryan Carder, ButchLucas; and wrestling CadeBevington, Andrew Swick,Jamie Rassman and Stuart

    Miller; and Accepted the resignation

    of bus driver Pat Recker. Shehas been with the district for35 years. Bus driver BarbHaggard also resigned theafternoon portion of her route.Haggard has accepted anotherposition but has agreed todrive the morning portion dueto a driver shortage.

    Project Coordinator George Mox said theshop has been working on plans for the expan-sion for a couple of years and hopes to havethe new addition closed in before winter hits

    and open in early Spring 2012.The Thrift Shop has been using the

    Jauman building for storage up until now, hesaid. When the addition is complete, every-thing will be under one roof.

    The Jauman building is expected to bedemolished any day.

    According to Thrift Shop CoordinatorBecky Strayer, the total amount in financialhelp to community members this year was

    $78,003.92, including $32,471.19 for rent;$42,175.90 for utilities; $1,030.76 for pre-scriptions; and $2,266.07 miscellaneous. Theshop helped 655 families this year: 416 in

    financial aid and 239 in pantry visits.The purpose of expanding our building is

    the hope to provide more resources to help theneedy. We hope to provide education as wellopportunities to survive this current economicsituation, Strayer said.

    well in the village park wasa topic of concern during

    the November Fort JenningsVillage Council meetingTuesday. Water from thewell tested positive for coli-form in October. The OhioEnvironmental ProtectionAgency walked the villagethrough the procedure todisinfect the well and newsamples taken last week stilltested positive for coliform.

    Coliform is a bacteria that,if left unchecked, will becomeE coli. The Ohio EPA told thevillage they felt the positivereading was most likely fromthe new pump installed thispast summer.

    The EPA will allow thevillage to close the park sys-tem for the season and haveit tested when the park opensnext spring. The village needsto see two consecutive nega-

    tive tests on the well waternext year.Council unanimously

    voted no on a proposal tolease village acreage adja-cent to the Auglaize River atthe wastewater lagoon site.Mayor Jim Smith said a gen-tleman had approached himabout leasing the land forhunting. Smith said he con-tacted Village Solicitor BillWildenhaus, who advisedSmith the village could stillbe liable for any activity onthe property.

    Councilman WaltPitney gave a quick no

    and Councilwoman GraceDickman seconded.

    I think that would beopening a can of worms wedont want open, Dickmansaid.

    Greve Tree Service wonthe bid to remove trees withinthe village. Three ash treesin the park will be cut to thecrown with 8-10 feet of trunkleft standing. A former FortJennings resident has offeredto carve the trunks for theupcoming bicentennial cel-ebration. The other threetrees will be removed and thestumps ground.

    Greve won the bid at$1,100. Our Tree Service bid$1,180 and Dave Niese TreeService bid $2,205.

    VAN WERT The presi-dent and CEO of a Delphosfirm will be able to conductbusiness from the Van WertCounty Jail but will staybehind bars.

    Robert Fishbein, 48, ofLima had his bond revoked byVan Wert County CommonPleas Court Judge CharlesD. Steele on Tuesday. TheI & K Distributors execu-tive was jailed last weekafter an arraignment hearing.Fishbein was arraigned on 21felony and two misdemeanorcounts of telecommunicationsharassment on Nov. 9. Those

    charges stem from the accu-sation of making 300-400calls to a 22-year-old femaleformer employee, some ofthose calls being threateningin nature.

    Fishbein had been releasedafter $200,000 cash was post-ed for him. Conditions for hisrelease included a stipulationthat Fishbein was not allowedto use the telephone unlessanother person placed the calland monitored the conversa-tion. Minutes after he pleadednot guilty to the 23 charges

    against him, Fishbein wasobserved by court officials

    talking on a cell phone in thecourthouse lobby. A warrantwas issued for his arrest andhe was apprehended later thatday at his place of employ-ment. He has been housedin the Van Wert CountyCorrectional Facility sincethat time.

    At an earlier hearing whenthe $200,000 cash bond wasannounced, Steele warnedFishbein that he faced the lossof the $200,000 if bond wasposted and any of the condi-tions of the bond were vio-lated. However, on Tuesday,Steele did not rule that thecourt would keep the cash. He

    explained, Since the defen-dant was not violating forfailure to appear, the courtwill order that the $200,000cash bond be returned to theposter of the bond.

    Although his bond wasrevoked, it appears Fishbeinsparticipation in business mat-ters at I&K will continue.Attorney Bill Kluge toldSteele that he plans on fil-ing motions that, if approved,would permit a business con-

    I&K CEO to stay in jail

    Tuesday protesting the recentclearing out of Occupy campsin New York and other cities.Elsewhere in the state, policesaid they arrested seven pro-testers in Columbus for refus-ing to leave a bank.

    Jackson spoke to about 200people in Cincinnatis PiattPark on Tuesday night, urgingthem to continue their fightagainst corporate greed andsocial inequality.

    Earlier Tuesday, theOccupy group in Columbustook its protest and chantinginto two banks, a Fifth Thirdbranch and a U.S. bank branch,where those who refused to

    leave were arrested. The pro-testers were arrested on crimi-nal trespassing charges, saidpolice Sgt. Rich Weiner. Anorganizer of the group didntimmediately return a call forcomment.

    The Occupy Cincinnatirally came the same day thatOccupy Wall Street protesterswere evicted and arrested in aNew York City park. The parkreopened Tuesday night aftersanitation crews cleaned it,but protesters werent allowedto bring sleeping bags or tentsback in.

    Earlier Tuesday, about 20students at the University ofCincinnati joined the Occupymovement at a meeting oncampus. UC spokesman GregHand said no problems werereported. Roco said studentshelped hand out fliers adver-tising the rally in the down-town park where the Occupygroup camped out for abouttwo weeks last month.

    Occupy Cincinnati stoppedcamping at Piatt Park aftermembers were ticketed andarrested for being there afterclosing hours. The group hascontinued nightly meetingsat the park and filed a fed-eral lawsuit last month againstthe city, alleging violation ofconstitutional rights to freespeech and assembly.

    Jackson joinsOccupy Cincy

    COLUMBUS (AP) Anew forecast says increasingemployment will help makeOhios holiday shopping sea-son the strongest since 2007.

    The study done by theUniversity of CincinnatiEconomics Center predicts a3.3 percent increase in holi-day retail sales in Ohio com-pared to the same period ayear ago.

    The researchers say theirprediction reflects not onlyOhios slowly rising employ-ment but also improving salesin the state throughout thisyear and slightly higher infla-tion.

    The report was commis-sioned by the Ohio Councilof Retail Merchants. It saysgreater Columbus will beresponsible for the larg-est share of the states holi-day sales, followed by theCleveland and Cincinnatiareas.

    Cain commentsraise questions

    Democrats, Republicansfar apart on deficit deal

    By ANDREW TAYLORAssociated Press

    WASHINGTON The topRepublican on a special deficit-cutting panel says GOP nego-tiators have gone as far as wefeel we can go on tax hikes, apublic signal that a debt bargaincould be out of reach despiteweeks of negotiations.

    Texas Rep. Jeb Hensarlingtold CNBC Tuesday that thebipartisan debt supercommit-tee is somewhat stymied forthe moment because panelDemocrats are insisting on taxincreases of up to $1 trillion inexchange for cost curbs on rap-

    idly spiraling benefit programssuch as Medicare and SocialSecurity.

    The top Democrat on thedeficit supercommittee, Sen.Patty Murray of Washington,countered that its up toRepublicans to send a cred-ible offer with real revenueto jump-start talks that seemto have mostly stalled since aswap of offers last week.

    The deficit for the just-com-pleted budget year was $1.3trillion, requiring the govern-ment to borrow 36 cents forevery dollar it spends. Evena successful negotiation thatproduces $1.2 trillion in cuts

    will still leave a deficit crisisthat requires painful choices bypolicymakers on taxes and ben-efits programs, budget expertsagree.

    The backbiting has inten-sified since the exchange of

    offers. The Democrats mostrecent plan called for $2.3 tril-lion in deficit cuts, including a$1 trillion tax increase over thecoming decade. Republicanscountered with almost $300 bil-lion in new tax revenues as partof a $1.5 trillion debt plan, anoffer that even a top Democrat,Majority Whip Dick Durbin ofIllinois, called a breakthrough.

    The Democrats wont puta plan on the table to solve theproblem, and anything they dothat even remotely addresseshealth care, even superficially,theyre insisting on a $1 trilliontax increase, Hensarling said.Its not going to happen.

    The debt panel is chargedwith coming up with at least$1.2 trillion in deficit cuts overthe coming decade as part ofa bargain between PresidentBarack Obama and HouseSpeaker John Boehner, R-Ohio,this summer. Failure wouldtrigger across-the-board spend-ing cuts that especially alarmdefense hawks.

    Boehner publicly blessed theGOP offer on taxes Tuesday,bucking opposition by someGOP presidential hopefuls andcolleagues wary of violatinga longstanding point of partyorthodoxy.

    The supercommittee has

    until a week from today to voteon any compromise, but severalofficials said that in reality, per-haps as little as 48 or 72 hours areavailable to the six Republicansand six Democrats.

    While Boehners voice is

    important, his endorsement doesnot mean all Republicans willfollow him or a deal is in sight.Republicans have been unifiedfor two decades in opposition tohigher taxes, while Democratson the supercommittee insist onadditional revenue before theywill agree to cuts in benefit pro-grams as part of a compromise.

    Boehner said the plan, out-lined a week ago to Democratson the committee, was a fairoffer. Adding an overhaul ofthe federal tax code would gen-erate economic growth, he said.

    The full committee hasntmet in several days, but varioussubgroups have been in near

    constant contact.More than deficit reduction

    is at stake, one year into an eraof divided government.

    Democrats are hoping to addelements of President BarackObamas jobs legislation to anydeficit-cutting deal, includingextensions of a Social Securitypayroll tax cut and unemploy-ment benefits that are due toexpire at the end of the year.But their proposal to use savingsfrom shrinking war spending isopposed by some Republicans.

    A comprehensive rewrite offarm programs may hang inthe balance, too, and lawmak-ers also must pass legislation

    to ensure sufficient funds toreimburse doctors who treatMedicare patients.

    The twin issues of taxes andbenefit programs have longbeen stumbling blocks in bud-get negotiations.

    By PAULINE JELINEKAssociated Press

    WASHINGTON Whatare taxpayers supposed tothink? The Pentagon saysthreatened budget cuts willinvite aggression, endangernational security and devas-tate its operations.

    Though that view hasplenty of adherents, there alsoare plenty of naysayers whocall the Defense Departmentspredictions a scare tactic bybureaucrats desperate to pro-tect their turf.

    This is palpable nonsense... the idea that somehow oranother this is going to beArmageddon, said LawrenceKorb, a former assistantdefense secretary who isa senior fellow at the left-leaning Center for AmericanProgress.

    At issue is the Pentagonseffort to prevent $500 billionin automatic, across-the-boarddefense budget cuts over 10years if a bipartisan congres-sional supercommittee cantagree by Nov. 23 on $1.2 tril-lion or more in deficit reduc-tions over a decade.

    Defense Secretary LeonPanetta has warned Congressthat a half-trillion-dollar cut,on top of $450 billion in sav-ings already planned by themilitary, would be devastat-ing for the department.

    Korb disagrees.Theyre acting like good

    bureaucrats ... trying to protecttheir rice bowls, he said.

    Added Christopher Prebleof the libertarian Cato Institute,The taxpayer should under-stand how much we spend onthe military and how muchthat spending has grown.

    In the 10 years since theSept. 11 terror attacks, annualbudgets for the military havenearly doubled to close to $700billion. The U.S. accountsfor nearly half of the defensemoney spent around the world more than the next 17nations combined. The U.S.naval fleet is as big as the next13 navies combined, accord-ing to various analyses andsome of the Pentagons ownaccounting in recent years.

    Though many believe theautomatic cuts will nevercome to pass, here are somepoints and counterpoints in the

    debate over looming spendingcuts:

    Panetta told senators ina letter this week that after adecade of the threatened cuts,the U.S. would have the small-est ground force since 1940,the smallest number of shipssince 1915 and the smallestAir Force ever.

    But its not about thenumbers, according to ToddHarrison of the Center forStrategic and BudgetaryAssessments. Greater fire-power and tonnage maketodays naval fleet smaller butmore powerful, he said.

    Likewise, Korb suggeststhe U.S. could safely reducethe number of Navy aircraftcarriers and Air Force fight-ers by 25 percent because themilitary can rely on unmannedplanes and precision-guidedmunitions.

    Defense officials have saidthe Army and Marines couldbe decreased by some 65,000troops or more. Korb sug-gests cutting 100,000 troopsto return to pre-Sept. 11 levelsand slashing the nations arse-nal of nuclear weapons from5,000 to 311.

    Pentagon spending cuts: Dangerous or just overdue?

    Winkin, blinkin and noddin offWASHINGTON As the

    GOP candidates have beenthrashing it out in debates thatseem to occur every couple ofhours or so, one almost missesthe iconic wink that enraged orbeguiled the nation a politicalseason ago.

    Admit it. You miss SarahPalin just a little: The wink, thered shoes, the pointing finger,the heck-with-ya attitude and,given the performance of someof her Republican colleagues,her Taser-like intelligence.

    Yes, it has come to this.It helped a lot that

    Palin was an attractive woman.A man winks during a debatefor the highest or second-high-est office in the land, and hesnot cute or flirty or send-ing sparks ricocheting aroundthe living rooms of conserva-tive magazine editors. Hes anidiot.

    Even so, Rick Perry could

    have used a little winkagewhen his mind blanked duringa recent debate and he couldntrecall that in which he pas-sionately believes. Somethingabout government agenciesthat should be dismantled.

    Having stepped in it, as heput it, Perry took the only exitpossible and hit the late-nightcomedy hour. If you cant betaken seriously as a presiden-tial candidate, you may as wellbe funny.Bring it!

    Alas, Perry wasnt as amus-ing as he was comical when he

    appeared on the Late Showwith David Letterman. It wasrather sad seeing the Texasgovernor centered in a carni-valesque spotlight reciting the10 reasons he forgot what heso ardently believes, as thoughthey were merely forgotten

    lines in a memorized poem.Lettermans writers hadsome swell lines for ol Rick,but ultimately, the act was ascringe-inducing as the flubitself. Perry seemed like a childbeing brought out to amusethe adults. The line betweenlaughing with and laughingat was a tightrope stretchedbetween mirth and pity.

    It is one thing to be self-effacing and to have a senseof humor about ones self. Welove that. It is another to be aclown. The thrice-elected gov-ernor of the nations second-largest state has earned better.

    Next in the parade of pain-

    ful moments was HermanCains floundering during aninterview at the MilwaukeeJournal Sentinel. He was askeda simple question: Did youagree with President Obamashandling of Libya?

    Libya, Libya, Libya,Gaddafi, opposition, dang,what was that thing? Anyone?Anyone?

    For minutes that seemedhours, Cain seemed to be shuf-fling through file drawers ofbullet points in his brain andwas coming up empty. He said

    he did not agree with the wayhe handled it for the followingreason.

    Um, nope, thats a dif-ferent one, he said, battingaway an errant thought with

    his hand.It got worse: I gotta go

    back, see, got all this stufftwirling around in my head.

    No doubt. With the sex-ual harassment charges dog-ging his campaign and theexhausting pace of debates,book touring and speeches Cain is surely worn out. Onthe one hand, we sympathize.

    We all have brain freezes. Onthe other, we dont all run forpresident.

    Even a presidential can-didate suffers no dishonorby sometimes admitting hedoesnt know an answer.Giving Cain credit to the lim-ited extent due, he has madeclear that he doesnt knowevery little thing, but haspromised to hire smart peoplewho do. During a Q-and-Afollowing a luncheon speechat the National Press Club acouple of weeks ago, he oddly

    handed off a question abouthis 9-9-9 tax plan to RichLowrie, the plans architect.

    Immediately afterward,he volunteered to me that hecould have answered the ques-tion himself, but he was tired.This had been his third event

    of the day, after all, and hisvoice was weakening. It hadcame back strong at the end ofthe luncheon, however, whenCain closed by singing HeLooked Beyond My Faults.

    Wink.Perry and Cain are both

    talented men who deservemore than our contempt.Nevertheless, it has becomeclear that they are not nowpresidential material. We mayindeed overlook their faults,but we neednt excuse what aremore than mere lapses. Theirlack of knowledge or recallsuggests a lack of depth andan absence of seriousness. We

    expect more from those whopretend to the throne.And though Americans

    admire the self-made who haveexperienced ordinary life, mostdont want an ordinary personto lead the country.

    A funny line is worth alaugh, a song may buy youlunch, but in the end, theresno winking ones way to theWhite House.

    WASHINGTON (AP) Many Republican votersare drawn to Herman Cainsforceful campaign style. Butan examination of his com-ments and proposals raisesquestions about his grasp ofissues he would face if electedpresident.

    Cain has drawn unwantedattention for contradictory orunorthodox comments on abor-tion, China policy, immigra-tion, torture and other matters.

    He has struggled to answersome questions about healthpolicy and Libya, at timesopenly laboring to retrievefacts or talking points.

    On a few occasions he hasquickly corrected his state-ments. Other times he haslaughed off his critics, tell-ing people to have a sense ofhumor.

    His against-the-grain styleappeals to some conserva-tives, especially those wearyof full-time politicians withwell-rehearsed stands. Whatsome find refreshing, howev-er, strikes others as betrayinga troubling inexperience, oreven a lack of seriousness andjudgment.

    His string of puzzling remarkshas created an image of him asnot being up to this task, GOPpolitical strategist Karl Roverecently told Fox News.

    The latest incident involvedCains uncomfortably longstruggle Monday to say wheth-er he agreed with PresidentBarack Obamas handlingof Libya and the ouster ofMoammar Gadhafi. In a wide-ly distributed video interview,Cain fidgeted, stared at theceiling and talked of havingall this stuff twirling aroundin my head.

    Cains recent misstatementsor debatable assertions suggesthe is not surviving the glare ofthe spotlight right now, ChrisChocola, head of the conser-vative Club for Growth, saidTuesday on MSNBC.

    When the high schoolfootball playoff seeds wereannounced Oct. 30 per-haps even before as the play-off picture cleared up apotential St. Johns/Leipsicmatchup was anticipated bymany a fan.

    Both teams had todo some work to getto this point but thematchup was realized.

    Saturday night atDonnell Stadium inFindlay, the Blue Jays(9-3) the secondseed in Region 22 and the Vikings (11-1) (the top seed) willmeet up at 7 p.m.

    We knew it was apossibility but we had somefootball to play; so did they.Our guys have done prettywell taking it one game at atime and were here now, St.Johns head football coachTodd Schulte observed.

    Schulte and his staff arepreparing for a balancedViking attack.

    Statistically, you see thatthey are well-balanced on thatside of the ball. However,they prefer running the foot-ball as their base, Schulteexplained. They run thepistol formation quite a bit

    the running back rightbehind the quarterback in theshotgun and they run a lot

    of powers, traps and coun-ters. Its a different offensethan what were used to.Schroeder is the running backand hes a hard-nosed runnerwith some good speed. Maagis their best weapon outside;they like to get him into space

    and use his speed tomake plays.

    They also have apretty big line; theyhave a couple of guysthat played against usas sophomores in 2009,so they are experiencedas well.

    That offense willchallenge a Blue andGold defense thatyields 11.6 points and

    244.3 yards (116.7 rushing)per game, led by linebackersBrett Schwinnen (67 solos,54 assists), Kyle Neumeier(58 and 59, 7 for loss) andCody Looser (58 and 47),along with Logan Looser (36and 36; 4 sacks), Ryan Densel(37 and 21; 4 picks), GarthLucius (25 and 30), Calvelage(7 interceptions) and ElijahBrinkman (6 sacks).

    From what we haveseen during the playoffs andtoward the end of the regularseason, they have been soliddefensively; theyve banked

    on defense. They are big andstrong up front and Schnipkeis their best linebacker; he

    goes 6-1, 220, Schulte con-tinued. They have a nicekicking game; their kickercan either put it down to the5 or pop it up and land on the20, giving his coverage unittime to get there.

    The St. Johns offense putting up 27.1 mark-ers and 277.2 yards(177.9 rushing) anouting is paced bythe tandem of tailbackTyler Jettinghoff (129rushes, 779 yards,11 touchdowns; 13catches, 192 yards)and tailback/fullbackJordan Bergfeld (106

    for 578, 15; 5 grabs,43 yards). They also have atandem under center: starterMark Boggs (54-of-99 pass-ing, 880 yards, 6 TDs, 8picks) and Alex Clark (16-of-45 passing, 311 yards, 3 and5). The main guys outside areTanner Calvelage (34 grabs,623 yards, 5) and DylanKrendl (5 for 96), with JoshRode (42-of-42 extra points,1 field goal; 45 points) auto-matic on PATs. Alex Wehri(24 pancake blocks), BriceSchulte (10) and Seth Bockey(8) lead the way up front.

    The key for us is the line

    of scrimmage on both sides.We want to run the ball andstop the run and well again

    be outweighed, he said.Field position will be crucialand that is where I hope ourspecial teams can continue tobe a strength for us.

    We wont have Brock(Bonifas), a starting defen-sive tackle. We are consid-

    ering our options. Alexand Drew (Neumeier)can play some there butwe like to keep themfresh for offense. We canmove Adam (Haunhorst)inside from end andAustin (Reindel) is alsoin the mix.

    The Jays startedslowly but ended up

    romping 35-0 overTiffin Calvert a week ago.

    We had some penaltiesearly on and had six all told thats a few more than hasbeen usual this season. Wereaddressing that this week,Schulte added. However,once we got that straightenedout, our offense took over;we were very efficient.

    Defensively, we con-

    trolled the game. They had

    three backs either over or

    near 1,000 yards rushing and

    we held them to 118 yards oftotal offense or thereabouts.

    By BEN WALKERThe Associated Press

    NEW YORK JustinVerlander was ready to jumpinto the debate.

    Shortly after winning theAL Cy Young Award onTuesday in a unanimous vote,the Detroit Tigers ace tookon the far more intriguingquestion: will he capture theMVP trophy, too?

    Do I think its possible?Yes. Would I like to win it?Of course, he replied duringa conference call. Its kindof a weird scenario.

    No starting pitcher haswon the MVP since RogerClemens in 1986, with DennisEckersley the last relieverto get it in 1992. Many saypitchers shouldnt win theMVP, period, contendingthey already have their ownaward.

    Pitchers are on the ballot,Verlander said. Bolsteringthe case for all pitchers,Verlander pointed to the tre-mendous effect we have onthe day of our game.

    His season he won thepitching version of the TripleCrown, led Detroit to its firstdivision crown in 24 years

    and drew every first-placevote in the Cy Young race definitely has ratchetedup the discussion in a crowd-ed MVP field that includesCurtis Granderson, JacobyEllsbury, Jose Bautista,Miguel Cabrera and more.

    Im so different fromeverybody, he said.

    If he doesnt win,Verlander said hed like tosee Granderson, his formerteammate, get the award.

    Clayton Kershaw of theLos Angeles Dodgers isthe favorite to win the NLCy Young when the resultsare released Thursday. He

    won the NL pitching TripleCrown, leading with a 2.28ERA and 248 strikeouts and

    tying for wins at 21.The AL and NL Managers

    of the Year will be announcedtoday.

    Verlander breezed to theCy Young, much the way hehumbled hitters with his 100-mph fastball, sharp curve andwicked slider.

    Verlander led the majorsin wins by going 24-5 andtopped baseball with 250strikeouts. His 2.40 ERA wasthe best among AL pitcherswho qualified for the title.

    The 28-year-old rightywas listed on top on all 28ballots by members of the

    Baseball Writers Associationof America and finished with196 points.

    Jered Weaver (18-8, 2.41)of the Los Angeles Angelswas the only other pitcher list-ed on every ballot and secondwith 97 points. James Shieldsof Tampa Bay was third with66, followed by CC Sabathiaof the New York Yankeeswith 63. Tigers reliever JoseValverde, who was perfectin 49 save chances, was fifthwith 28.

    Verlander pitched hissecond career no-hitter, won12 straight starts down thestretch and helped the Tigers

    take the AL Central.In many games, he was

    simply unhittable. He pitcheda no-hitter on May 7 atToronto, missing a perfectgame just by an eighth-inningwalk on a full-count deliv-ery.

    In his next start, he heldKansas City hitless for 5 2/3innings. Johnny Vander Meeris the only pitcher to throwback-to-back no-hitters.

    Later in the season, the6-5 star took a pair of no-hitbids into the eighth inning one of those came on July31 against Weaver and theAngels, a 3-2 win at Detroit.

    Verlander also led themajors with 251 innings, allwhile issuing a career-low 57

    walks. He pitched four com-

    plete games, including twoshutouts.

    This was the ninth timethere was a unanimous win-ner of the AL Cy Young andfirst since Johan Santana in2006, when he won the ALpitching Triple Crown.

    This was the fourth timea Detroit pitcher won it, withDenny McLain earning theaward in 1968 and tying forthe honor in 1969 and relieverWillie Hernandez winning in1984. McLain, in 1968, andHernandez went on to winthe AL MVP awards, too.

    A 4-time All-Star,Verlander became the first

    former AL Rookie of theYear to also take the CyYoung. This win included a$500,000 bonus to his $12.75million salary in 2011.

    Verlander has started hisoffseason workout programand plans to wait until Januarybefore throwing again.

    The only thing missingfrom Verlanders pitchingresume is a World Seriestitle. He is 3-3 with a 5.57ERA in eight career post-season starts and went 2-1 inthe playoffs this year as theTigers reached the AL cham-pionship series before losingto Texas.

    Astros GM knowsuncertaintyMILWAUKEE Ed

    Wade is focused on conduct-ing the offseason baseballoperations of the HoustonAstros, even if his future withthe team is uncertain.

    With the proposed saleof the team from DraytonMcLane to Jim Crane expect-ed to be approved Thursdayby major-league owners,Wade is not fretting. Hesworking.

    Were business as usual.The proposed change orwhatever which way youwould say it, its been there,he said Tuesday as generalmanagers opened meetings

    at a downtown Milwaukeehotel.

    Wade was the GM inPhiladelphia before takingthe job Houston and knowsthat the games shifts arenumerous. In fact, the Astroswill likely end up in the ALafter the sale is approved.

    Another GM is seeingsome clarity following atumultuous period NedColletti of the Los AngelesDodgers.

    Dodgers owner FrankMcCourt and Major LeagueBaseball have agreed to acourt-supervised sale of theonce glamorous and now

    bankrupt franchise.While the sides hope for a

    quick deal, giving McCourtthe money to pay his divorcesettlement by April, MLBsales sometimes drag on forsix months to 1 1/2 years.Once bidders are identified,the court is likely to conductan auction.

    Colletti said the Dodgerswere still working on detailsfor Matt Kemps 8-year, $160million contract and that itcould be completed beforeThanksgiving.

    Scott Boras, the agentfor Prince Fielder, met withBrewers GM Doug Melvin

    on Tuesday. Fielder andAlbert Pujols are the marqueefree agents this offseason.

    Verlander unanimously wins Cy Young; is MVP next?

    BOWLINGBy JIM OCONNELLThe Associated Press

    NEW YORK MikeKrzyzewski will keep addingto his record victory total.There is no doubt about that.

    How long he stays on theDuke bench and how far hegoes past No. 903 is anyones

    guess.I just play every game the

    same and they just kept add-ing up, Krzyzewski said afterthe sixth-ranked Blue Devils74-69 victory over MichiganState on Tuesday night inthe State Farm ChampionsClassic. That win broke a tiewith Bob Knight, his collegecoach and professional men-tor, for the most in DivisionI. I think it will mean a lotmore when its all over and Idont know when that will be.I want to win a championshipwith each team I coach.

    There were quite few ofKrzyzewskis former players

    at Madison Square Garden tosee him break the record.I cant say Im surprised

    because I saw firsthand thelevel of preparation, the levelof passion he put into hisprogram every single day,said Shane Battier, who wonan NCAA championship withKrzyzewski. I know if yougave him enough opportu-nity, hed give Bobby Knighta run for his money. Its justamazing to be here on thisnight to see the culminationof this work.

    Like many others, Battierdoesnt think the 64-year-old Krzyzewski will be done

    adding to the win total forseveral years.

    Hes ageless. He looksgreat. He looks the same aswhen I was a freshman,Battier said. Theres noreason to think he wont bearound for many years tocome.

    With Knight sitting across

    the court at the ESPN broad-cast table, Krzyzewski movedto the top of the list in front ofa sellout crowd of 19,979 atMadison Square Garden.

    Duke is 26-15 all-time,including a 21-7 mark underKrzyzewski, at MadisonSquare Garden and the BlueDevils have won 12 of theirlast 14 there.

    Setting the record atMadison Square Garden wastruly special, Krzyzewskisaid. To me, this is hallowedground and it just workedout.

    Krzyzewski went rightacross the court to hug

    Knight when the game ended.Krzyzewski, tears in his eyes,broke away and Knight pulledhim back, hands on his shoul-ders, then there was one finalslap of the shoulder.

    I just told Coach I lovehim, Krzyzewski said. Iwouldnt be in this positionwithout him. Its a momentshared. I know hes veryproud and Im very proud tohave been somebody whosworked under him and stud-ied him and tried to be likehim.

    Im not sure how manypeople tell him they love himbut I love him for what hes

    done for me and I thankedhim. He said Boy, youvedone pretty good for a kidwho couldnt shoot. I thinkthat means he loves me, too.At least thats how Im tak-ing that.

    Junior guard AndreDawkins had 26 points forDuke (3-0), which took con-trol with a 20-1 run that gavethe Blue Devils a 61-41 leadwith 9:17 to play. Then it

    was just a matter of countingdown the minutes exceptfor a late run by MichiganState that made it a 5-pointgame in the final minute until the celebration could getunder way.

    It means a lot. Theresonly going to be 13 guys thatcan say they played on theteam that got the 903rd win.I mean, to be one of those 13guys is an amazing feeling,Dawkins said. To be honest,Im not sure that Ive reallygot a grasp of that yet. Imsure down the road, lookingback, when I look back onmy career I can say, Wow,

    thats pretty amazing.Dawkins, who had six

    3-pointers, and Ryan Kellyhit 3s to start Dukes big run.As Michigan State (0-2) keptmissing shots down low, SethCurry hit another 3 for Dukeand then the Blue Devilsclosed the run by making6-of-6 attempts at the free-

    throw line.The Spartans kept

    Krzyzewski coaching to thefinal minute. They final-ly started hitting shots andforcing turnovers to close to74-69 with 12.9 seconds left.

    Curry had 20 points whileKelly added 14 for the BlueDevils, who were 10-of-21from 3-point range.

    Duke led 34-33 at the endof a sloppy first half.

    Its a special moment,Krzyzewski said of his fam-ily and former players beingthere. At halftime, I wasntsure we were going to havethis moment. We beat a really

    good team and Im glad nowwe can just move on and justdevelop our team.

    Keith Appling had 22points for Michigan Stateand Brandon Wood added 15.The Spartans finished with21 turnovers.

    I was in a no-win situa-tion, Michigan State coachTom Izzo said. I was eithergoing to be the guy who threwthe ball to Henry Aaron forthe record-breaker or the guywho shot Bambi.

    Krzyzewski moved to thetop of the list in his 37th sea-son, all but five at Duke. Healso coached at West Point,

    Coach K alone atop Division I list
