County EMA Director

VAN WERT In his 24 years as serving as Van Wert County EMA director, Rick
McCoy still believes the single largest and
most stressful event was forecasting and
cleaning up after the Nov. 10, 2002, massive
tornado that cut a wide swath of destruction
across the county.
It wasnt that we didnt know that something was possible, McCoy recalled. Two
days ahead of time, the storm prediction center had alerted us of the potential for a large
outbreak. That Sunday morning they warned
us of an outbreak from the Gulf of Mexico
into the upper Tennessee Valley. The thought
at that time was that the worst part would go
just south of that area.
I will never forget, when I walked out of
church that Sunday morning, I had a bad feeling about that day, continued McCoy. Still,
when they started putting out watches, we were
not under a tornado watch here. Most people
werent overly concerned. After all, this was
November. Nothing like that happens around
here in November, they thought.
McCoys concern was heightened when
he started noticing the rapid development of
a large super cell between Indianapolis and
Lafayette that was moving to the northeast.

The actual first tornado touchdown was

in Wells County, Indiana, McCoy said. It
appeared to be going up and down across
Blackford and Adams County. My Willshire
spotter saw it on the ground near Monroe but
it lifted around Willshire.
McCoy said that tornadoes like that usually dont come down again once lifted but
the National Weather Service told him to
watch it closely because it was continuing
to strengthen in the clouds. East of Wren,
weather spotters started reporting it coming
down again. Then it formed into the massive
strong EF-4 that barreled into the west side of
Van Wert and beyond.
McCoy highly praised his trained spotters,
who he said did exactly what they had been
trained to do.
The information they were feeding me
helped immensely how to forecast well ahead
of time to our county residents, McCoy said.
They did exactly what they were trained to
do in the spotter classes. Who knows how
many lives might have been saved because of
their keen observations? The storm in all of
its fury finally was on the ground for 29 minutes in Van Wert County and 51 minutes in the
state of Ohio, ranked as a strong EF-4 with
260-mile-per hour winds and headed right for
the Van Wert Cinemas.

DELPHOS With Christmas just

around the corner, the Delphos Area
Art Guild may have the solution with
one-stop shopping on Friday during
the groups annual Holiday Bazaar and
the Holiday Hop on Saturday, which
will take participants to several area
vendors for a one-of-a-kind shopping
experience.
Shoppers at the Holiday Bazaar will
also feel good will toward others as 10
percent of all sales go to the Delphos
Relay for Life while they check off
items on their Christmas lists.
This event really continues a personal conversation between the community and artists in a fun and celebratory manner. Being able to bring
25-plus vendors together of handmade
items is a special, special treat, DAAG
Director Shauna Turner-Smith said.
The Holiday Bazaar is from 6-10
p.m. Friday and tickets are $10 per
person, which gains the holder access
to 25-plus handmade vendors, a wine
tasting from Jubilee Winery, a raffle
ticket and light refreshments. Artists
and artisans range from 7-plus food
vendors to great crafts and fine arts.
Vendors will focus on gift items and
the price range begins at $1 to $25
typical and a couple items in the higher
price ranges.
I personally have moments of awe
when I see the items created by these
artists and artisans. The love they put
into each item is amazing. Shoppers
cant find what will be here on Friday

The DAAG Holiday Bazaar and Holiday Hop will include one-of-a-kind
artisan crafts and homemade goodies. (Submitted photo)
and on the road Saturday anywhere
else, she said. Glass items blown,
formed or soldered by their hands;
felted items starting at the sheering of
the sheep; fiber items with each stitch
lovingly made; bread kneaded and
perfectly baked; crafted items painted
one stroke at a time; and metal-formed
items where you can see each time the
hit the metal. These truly are one-of-akind works of art.
Saturday is the Holiday Hop with
Party Bus from 1-7 p.m. at $25 per
person. Shop in style and hop from
DAAG, to Vino Bellissimo, to Wapak
Riverside Art Center and finally Van
Werts Once I Was shoppe.
Each stop has vendors with more
than 50 total. Enjoy your own bev-
erages on the bus and relax while

being chauffeured from one venue to
the next. Light refreshments will be
offered at each stop.
Turner-Smith says shopping is
inevitable but finding that special
something made by a local artist is
important.
We all have to shop for the holidays and at some point, we will end up
at a box store but before someone does
that, they really need to take a moment
to peruse and perhaps even buy items
that were made by someone right
here, Turner-Smith stressed. You are
supporting our local economy.

DELPHOS The Diocese

Reinhart, pastor of St. John the
Evangelist parish in Delphos
and St. John the Baptist parish in Landeck, cannot exercise public ministry, administer any of the sacraments,

announcement regarding the
administrative leave and his

Lion gives birth

to 3 cubs at
Cincinnati Zoo
CINCINNATI (AP)
An African lion named
Imani has given birth to
three cubs at the Cincinnati
Zoo.
Zoo officials tell The
Cincinnati Enquirer that she
is not letting anyone near
her or the cubs to check
on them, and they havent
determined whether the
cubs are male or female. But
officials say Imani has been
doing all the right things for
a first-time mother.
The lion gave birth
Thursday. Zoo officials
say Imani showed signs of
being pregnant in the weeks
prior to giving birth and
hormone tests indicated a
pregnancy.
Keepers and scientists
at the zoos Center for
Conservation and Research
of Endangered Wildlife
could not be positive that
she was pregnant until the
cubs were born.
The first cub was born in
a breech position, but was
apparently unharmed.

Widening of
Ohio Turnpike
finally comes
to a close
TOLEDO
(AP)
Transportation workers have

finally finished a plan to add
a third lane to both directions along much of the Ohio
Turnpike.
The Blade in Toledo
reports that crews recently
completed the last 4.6 miles
of the project, nearly 20 years
after it was announced.
All lanes in the widening
campaign are scheduled to
open by Monday.
The upgrade to 159 of the
roads 241 miles was slated
to be done in five years when
it was announced at an Ohio
Turnpike Commission meeting in April 1995. The project
was expected to cost $460
million.
But the newspaper reports
the commission walked back
an unpopular toll hike that
it had approved during that
meeting after state lawmakers protested. And turnpike
officials say the reduction in
revenue was a main reason for
slowed progress. Delays in
the late 1990s were blamed on
late deliveries of steel needed
to replace or widen bridges.
The economic recession in the
region also was a factor.
Adam Greenslade, the
turnpikes government affairs
director, said no ceremony is
planned to celebrate the projects completion. And with
light traffic west of Toledo
and east of Youngstown, the
commission has no plans to
widen any more of the roadway.
Robin Carlin, the turnpikes interim executive
director, said he believed customers would see the turnpike
as a better way to travel.

Thanks to Our Veterans

When you meet a veteran..say Thank You! At
this time I would like to pay
special tribute to three veterans of World War II. These
three guys were in the thick
of it back in the 1940s so
we all could be free. Adolph
Hitler was ruling Germany
with an iron fist and trying to
conquer the world for his socalled super race. Many Jews
and others were murdered in
Hitlers Nazi concentration
camps.
Germany first invaded
Poland in 1939. The United
States managed to stay out of
the war until the Japs bombed
Pearl Harbor in December of
1941. Then all men from 18
to 39 had to register for the
draft. Some young men were
drafted before graduation
from high school. A blue star
banner would hang on their
chairs at the commencement
exercises. Soon our country
was fighting the enemies on
two fronts, in Europe and in
the Pacific.
Ray Beining graduated
from Ottoville High School
in 1942, the spring after Pearl
Harbor. His brother, Rudy
was soon drafted into the
Army Air Force. Rays dad
got a job in a defense plant
(Lima Tank Depot) so Ray
stayed home to do the farming. That lasted about a year,
then he got his papers and
had his physical in June,
1943. Soon he was on a train
from Ottawa to Ft. Benjamin
Harrison in Indiana. This was
his first time away from home
and he was really homesick.
From Indiana, it was by train
to Camp Haan, California,
for six weeks training and
maneuvers in the desert.
This was followed with
maneuvers in the swamps of
Louisiana. After that, it was
back across the country to
camps in Massachusetts by
train.
They did get a furlough
before boarding the USS
Mt. Vernon on 1 July 1944,
and getting shipped off to
England. They were part
of an anti-aircraft division.
During their first black out in
England, they got introduced
to their mission real quick
as they could hear and see the
V-1 Rockets (buzz bombs)
going overhead towards
London. Ray was also in
communication. When some
units radar picked up a V-1
launch, it would alert all
guns. He said: We had four
90-mm guns that would be
automatically aimed at the
target. Many rockets got
through. Ray did get to go
to London on a weekend and
saw first-hand the destruction
the bombs did. By September
1944, the Air Force was able

Ray Beining
to knock out the launch sites
of the buzz bombs so their
job in England was over.
So on 20 September
1944, they were shipped
across the English Channel
to Cherburgh, France.
They soon got their moving orders and moved in
convoy 600 miles through
France into Belgium. While
going through Brussels and
Antwerp, they were surprised
to find the people lining both
sides of the streets and cheering because they had just
been liberated. Our job was
to defend the port of Antwerp
against V-1 buzz bombs.
They were set up near the
little village of Nylen. He
said: We were treated like
kings by the local people and
besides we were within walking distance of the village
and a beer joint.
Ray liked the residents of
Belgiumthey were very
friendly. Ray said: The
first Sunday a bunch of us
Catholics walked to town for
Mass. When we walked in
the back of church, an usher,
in sign language, asked us
to wait and then he left. He
soon returned and took us up
to the front pew. We couldnt
understand what the priest
said before Mass but we got
a grand reception.
Ray said they had been
very lucky as an anti-aircraft
outfit but that changed on 18
December 1944.
We were on the outskirts of Leige, Belgium,
under bombardment by the
Buzz Bombs. At this stop

one of our tractors was hit
by a V-1, killing all 12 men.
Hubert Berelsman from Fort
Jennings was one of the men
killed, he said.
Ray and Hubert had gone
into the Army together.
We were sitting ducks,
he said.

Trustees OK football Hall

of Fame development plan
CANTON (AP) Trustees of the Pro Football Hall of Fame
have approved the concepts in a development plan that envisions
adding a hotel and conference center, restaurants, youth football
fields or other features to its northeast Ohio campus.
The trustees approval enables staff to proceed with steps recommended in recent feasibility studies and look for partners to
bring to life whats been dubbed the Hall of Fame Village, hall
President David Baker said in a statement. It includes the planned
renovation of the adjacent stadium, where work is expected to
start next fall.
The statement did not outline any estimated project costs.
Theres hope that the development could help attract the
2019 draft to Canton as the NFL kicks off its 100th season,
The Repository newspaper in Canton (http://bit.ly/1oSvU0V )
reported.
The project has the backing of Canton Mayor William J.
Healy II, who hopes much of the vision becomes reality by 2020.
There is no question that this is one of those scenarios that if
you build it, they will come, he said. We have the Hall of Fame
as the anchor, Fawcett Stadium and the development of what
thats going to be around it.

NEW YORK At the movies, idiocy never goes out of style.

Twenty years after the 1994 original, Dumb and Dumber To
opened with $38.1 million at the weekend box office, according
to studio estimates Sunday. The Universal sequel debuted almost
exactly two decades after the Farrelly brothers first introduced the
Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels low-IQ duo.
Dumb and Dumber To edged out the animated Disney
adventure Big Hero 6, which took in $36 million in its second
week. Christopher Nolans sci-fi epic Interstellar slid to third in
its second week with an estimated $29.2 million.
The top three films took up the lion share of the box office,
with the no. 4 film, the romance Beyond the Lights, opening
with a distant $6.5 million.
In a Hollywood constantly updating, rebooting and sequalizing old properties, Dumb and Dumber To was still unique.
In between installments, there was also a 2003 prequel, though
it was made with different actors and wasnt directed by Bobby
and Peter Farrelly.
This was a gamble, said Paul Dergarabedian, senior media
analyst for box-office tracker Rentrak. Cinematic history is littered with long-lead sequels that just havent worked.
Its always a risky move to wait this long, but in this case, the
casting of Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels really made a difference,
he added.
Most delayed sequels Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps,
Indiana Jones: Kingdom of the Crystal Skull depend on the
addition of a new, younger star like Shia LaBeouf. The closest
comparison to Dumb and Dumber To might be 1998s Blues
Brothers 2000, made 18 years after the original. But with John
Goodman stepping in for John Belushi, it opened with just $6.1
million.
Staying power is rare in comedy, where chemistry is especially
difficult to regain. But Dumb and Dumber To gave moviegoers
a chance to see Carrey back in his old, physically comedic form.
Its his best live-action debut since 2003s Bruce Almighty.
The project, though, took years to get off the ground and was
independently produced by Red Granite Pictures before Universal
signed on to distribute. Made for about $40 million, Dumb and
Dumber To catches up with Lloyd and Harry in middle age.
There was the battle of That was then, this is now, and, Its
not going to work. All those guys keep their job by saying no,
Daniels said in an earlier interview. But we kept going, How
can this miss? Jim and I would look at each other and say, This
is a no-brainer so to speak.
Overall business was up 13.6 percent on the same weekend
last year. The box office was boosted by a handful of independent films including St. Vincent ($4 million its sixth weekend)
and Birdman ($2.5 million in its fifth weekend) as well as
the limited released debuts of Foxcatcher and Jon Stewarts
Rosewater.
Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and
Canadian theaters, according to Rentrak. Where available, the
latest international numbers are also included. Final domestic
figures will be released today.
1. Dumb and Dumber To, $38.1 million ($3.2 million international).
2. Big Hero 6, $36 million.
3. Interstellar, $29.2 million.
4. Beyond the Lights, $6.5 million.
5. Gone Girl, $4.6 million.
6. St. Vincent, $4 million.
7. Fury, $3.8 million.
8. Nightcrawler, $3 million.
9. Ouija, $3 million.
10. Birdman, $2.5 million.
Film Awards honor Oscar hopefuls; ratings dismal
LOS ANGELES (AP) About halfway

through the first televised Hollywood Film
Awards, Chris Rock took the stage to accept
a trophy for his film Top Five. Wow, do
you feel the excitement in the room? he
asked facetiously. The remark elicited the first
real laughter of the night from an otherwise
restrained audience.
The show that has dubbed itself the official launch of the awards season was, even
at a brisk two hours, a subdued, often strained
celebration of celebrities and their films,
many of which have only played at festivals
and some that have yet to be seen by anyone.
The Friday night affair was a strange amalgam of sincere and bizarre moments, including Johnny Depp slurring and cursing through
a pre-written speech. The stars might have
come out to party, but they didnt seem to be
having any fun.
Now in its 18th year, The Hollywood Film
Awards hopes to become one of the major
stops on the annual movie awards trail, now
that its being broadcast on CBS, along with a
pre-show from the red carpet and a post-show
recap. Queen Latifah was this years host.
Ratings for the inaugural show were dismal, however, with CBS reporting Saturday a
peak of only 4 million viewers, far less than
for its usual Friday night lineup, Hawaii 5-0
and Blue Bloods, which drew 11.5 million
viewers last week. Last years Golden Globes
show attracted nearly 21 million viewers.
For years, the non-televised show has
raised eyebrows for awarding honors to unreleased films. Yet the stars have always seemed
to show up, eager to boost industry buzz for
their films. This year was no exception.
Attendees included such A-listers as
Angelina Jolie, presenting an award to Jack

OConnell who stars in her unreleased film
Unbroken, and Benedict Cumberbatch and
Keira Knightley, both of whom picked up acting honors for The Imitation Game, not in
theaters until Nov. 28.
Eddie Redmayne was honored for his portrayal of Stephen Hawking in The Theory
of Everything and Reese Witherspoon presented an award to her Wild director JeanMarc Valle.
Most presenters and honorees read prescripted speeches scrolling on a teleprompter
at the back of the room. Yet that didnt
prevent some embarrassing gaffes, such as
Jennifer Lopezs repeated How to Drain
Your Dragon mistake and censored moments
when stars, like Redmayne, would go offscript.
It was Depp, though, who provided one of
the strangest moments of the evening when he
took to the stage to present the documentary
award for Supermensch: The Legend of Shep
Gordon. He slurred and swayed his way
through a mostly inaudible speech, using the
F-word twice before a clip reel cut him off.
Behind the scenes, The Hollywood
Film Awards was pretty standard fare, with
much mingling and schmoozing among the
tables set up for guests at the Hollywood
Palladium, a venerable Los Angeles music
venue. Redmayne made the rounds during
commercial breaks to chat with Mike Myers,
Steve Carell and Cumberbatch. Ben Affleck,
who accepted the main award on behalf of
Gone Girl, arrived midway through the
show, taking a seat next to co-star Emily
Ratajkowski at a table that included much
of the cast.

scoring with a 33-yard field

goal with 7:37 left in the first
period as Grove broke on top
3-0.
The rest of the first half was
controlled by the Bulldogs but
they had nothing to show for
it.
The next three series ended
in punts and the Bulldogs
turned it over as Alex Keller
picked off Stechschulte at the
Seneca 7.
Tiffin had its best drive
yet, putting together a 12-play
sequence that ran out of gas
and ended in a punt from the
Grove 48.
After a Bulldog punt, Long
fumbled at the 26 and Rece
Roney recovered at the 27.
However, on play three at the
17, Stechschulte was picked
off by Adam Recker with 1:09
showing in the first half to
effectively end it.
After
David
Bogart
returned the second-half
kickoff 16 yards to the 41,
Grove drove the distance in
four plays. At the Tiffin 46,
Warnecke (29 rushes, 180
yards) took a misdirection
draw over the left side and
found wide-open spaces. He
juked a couple of defenders downfield and beat the
defense to the end zone with
10:32 left in the third stanza.
Warneckes conversion kick
made for a 10-0 edge.
Joey is just something
else on and off the field. The
players play so hard for him
because he plays so hard for
them; he is just a warrior and
everybody follows, Schafer

we are in the spread now.
We changed the defense, too.
What you are seeing now is
the kids finally really grasping the concepts and expectations; its been tough but the
seniors of the last couple of
years moved us along in our
process to now.
Eli Schroeder gave Grove
possession again on the next
drive with a pick at the Tiffin
49. However, the Seneca D
stopped Warnecke a yard short
on 4th-and-1 from the 40.
However, Drew Ritzler
fimbled on play four at the
48 and Logan Diller fell on it
at the 49 with 7:39 left in the
period. However, a 3-and-out
followed.
Tiffin drove from the 27 to
the Bulldog 38 but on play 10,
Devin Stith was drilled trying
to haul in a pass from Ritzler
to turn it over on downs with
2:20 showing in the stanza.
After an exchange of punts
that resulted with Grove starting at its 24, Grove finished
its scoring with 9:13 left. At
the 47, Stechschulte, facing
the blitz, underthrew Clement
down the right sideline but
the junior came back to
catch it. He shrugged off the
final defender and finished
the 53-yard catch-and-run.
Warnecke tacking on the conversion.
After a trade of punts, with
Warnecke pinning the Senecas
at their 8, Tiffin moved out to
their 46 but on play seven,
Elisha Jones picked off
Ritzler and returned it to the
Seneca 43.
Keyed by a personal foul
on Calvert, Grove attained the
5 but on play six 4thand-goal Warnecke was

stopped a yard short with 1:09
to go.
The Senecas (9-3) broke
their drought with a 6-play
series aided by a personal
foul that ended with a mere
18 ticks remaining on a 1-yard
run by Long. Michael Smith
added the point-after for the
final score.
Tanner From recovered the
onside kick and Stechschulte
kneeled once to end the contest.

Beaver salvage split in
Webster Tip-Off Classic
ST LOUIS, Mo. The Bluffton University

womens basketball team went down by 11
points midway through the opening half Sunday
but the visitors outscored Webster 44-33 in the
second half to secure its first victory of the season at the Webster Tip-Off Classic while taking
in the St. Louis sights.
Bluffton stands 1-1 after a long weekend on
Interstate 70.
For the second straight day, a slow offensive
start put the Beavers in a sizeable hole before
they could get untracked. Hoops by Rachel
Beining (Ottoville) and Kaitlyn Pennekamp
(Hamilton/Ross) were the only points for
Bluffton in the first eight minutes as Webster
opened up an early 12-4 spread.
Back-to-back buckets by Abby Jerger
(Middletown/Madison) and Taylor Whitaker
(Mansfield/Lexington) made it a 4-point game
before Webster answered with nine of the next
11 counters for a 21-10 lead at the 7:36 mark.
Triples by Whitaker and Pennekamp helped
Bluffton pull within 23-21 with just under three
minutes to play in period one. The Gorlocks
scored the last three points of the half for a
26-21 lead at the break.
Webster was still up by seven (41-34) with
11:18 to play before the Beavers started to
make their move. An 11-0 jag aided by three
Gorlock turnovers put Bluffton up 45-41 at the
8:36 mark. Brenna Kurilec (Mt. Gilead/Gilead
Christian) connected on a pair of deuces and
freshman Macey Sheerer (Bucyrus) capped the
run with a hoop and harm, giving the visitors
their first lead of the afternoon.
With the score tied at 51, Pennekamp dialed
long distance and Taylor Knight (Perrysburg)
followed with a freebie for a 55-51 spread.
Four straight Brittany Harris-Conway foul
shots knotted the score back up 55-55 but
Sheerer sparked a 6-0 run as Bluffton went up
61-55. She scored seven of Blufftons last eight
points as the Beavers sealed their 65-59 win
over Webster.
Sheerer hit 8-of-10 at the line and 4-of8 from the field for a team-high 16 points.
Pennekamp drained 3-of-5 from distance for
15 points and she came up with four steals.
Beining finished with eight points, nine boards
and five steals for the victors. Kurilec chipped
in with eight points and four steals. Knight
handed out three assists to go along with her
six points.
Bluffton picked up 21 steals and pulled
down 36 rebounds. The Beavers were 23-of63 from the field (36.5 percent) and 15-for-21
(71.4 percent) at the line. Webster turned it over
31 times, seven more than the Beavers did.
The Bluffton women look forward to their
home opener on Saturday when they welcome
the College of Wooster. Tip-off is scheduled for
3 p.m. in the Sommer Center.

BLUFFTON The Bluffton
University mens basketball team rode a 46-25
first half to a season-opening victory over

Kalamazoo College on Saturday at the Sommer
Center.
The Beavers were able to hold on in the second half for the 81-69 victory, thanks in large
part to 11 triples.
Billy Taflinger (Lima/Central Catholic)
started the scoring onslaught right away by
grabbing the tip and streaking straight in for
a layup. Bluffton ran out to a 10-2 lead following a jumper from senior Ryan Ebbeskotte
(Delphos/Jefferson) and four free throws from
junior big man Thayne Recker (Arlington).
The next six minutes would see the Beavers
stretch their lead to 32-10. This included six
triples, with Ebbeskotte and Blake Green
(Delta) netting two apiece, while freshman
Joshua Woodrich (Navarre/Central Christian)
and senior Zach Rumbaugh (Lima/Senior) also
hit from deep.
Bluffton added three more deep balls
before the half for a 21-point lead, two coming
from sophomore Austin Rohde (Shelby). The
Beavers drained 9-of-11 for a blistering 81.8
percent behind the arc in the opening stanza.
The Beavers opened their largest lead of
the contest, 27, early in the second half after
an old-fashioned 3-point play by Recker and
another trifecta from Ebbeskote. Kalamazoo
did not go away as the Hornets made it a game
down the stretch, trimming the lead to 17 after
five minutes and eventually eight with 1:36 left
to play. That was when Ebbeskotte broke the

going 12-of-14 from the charity stripe over the
final two minutes.

Harvick wins Homestead to Bengals topple

Saints 27-10
claim 1st championship
By JENNA FRYER
Associated Press
HOMESTEAD, Fla. Kevin
Harvick charged through the field, picking off car after car, passing two other
title contenders on a series of restarts.
As he aggressively chased the victory
and his first Sprint Cup title, it was clear
that winning did indeed matter most in
NASCARs new championship formula.
Harvick won Sunday nights season
finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway
with a desperate drive from 12th to first
over the final 15 laps. He didnt have to
win the race; he only had to finish higher
than the other three title contenders in
this revamped Chase for the Sprint Cup
Championship.
But nothing short of a win was going
to get it done on a night in which
Harvick, Denny Hamlin, Ryan Newman
and Joey Logano all showed up determined to claim their first career championship.
You had all the championship guys
show up at the front of the pack,
Harvick said. I was just going to hold
the pedal down and hope for the best.
The four drivers all found themselves
racing each other at the front of the field
after the sun went down on the 400mile race. It was Hamlin, the Charlotte
Bobcats season-ticket holder who had
Michael Jordan cheering from his pits,
who seemed to have the race in control
until a caution with 20 laps to go.
All four teams were forced to make
tough strategy decisions that ultimately
decided their fate.
Joe Gibbs Racing decided not to pit
Hamlin, which moved him to second
on the restart. Richard Childress Racing
gave Ryan Newman two tires, while
Harvick crew chief Rodney Childers
made the risky call for four tires.
Team Penske had also planned to
give Joey Logano four tires but a problem with the jack destroyed Loganos
chances and he plummeted from sixth to
21st, ending his championship bid.
Harvick restarted 12th with 15 laps
to go and not much time to pick his way
through traffic. As Hamlin passed leader
Jeff Gordon on the restart, Harvick shot
past four cars to move to seventh.
Then came another caution and
Hamlin, on old tires, knew he was in
trouble. Harvick, on the four fresh tires,
rocketed through the middle on the
restart, dicing his way through traffic
to pick up another four spots and move
into second.
Harvick
I loved our chances but they werent

there at the end, said Hamlin. Strategy
is part of winning and the strategy for us
didnt work out with the cautions.
Harvick got by Hamlin, then Newman
passed Hamlin for second and the championship became a battle of drivers who
had essentially swapped seats this year.
There was one more caution, forcing
Harvick to nail one final restart with
three laps remaining, and he eased his
way ahead of Newman and never looked
back.
The victory capped a magical first
season at Stewart-Haas Racing, where
Harvick moved this year after 13 seasons with Richard Childress that failed
to produce a championship.
Harvick, who had to win last week at
Phoenix just to advance into Sundays
final four, wrapped up his third victory
of this Chase and fifth of the season.
He leaned this week on team co-owner
Tony Stewart, a 3-time champion, and
Jimmie Johnson, the 6-time champion
who moved from California to North
Carolina to chase a career in NASCAR
about the same time as Harvick made
the move east.
Been trying for 13 years, an emotional Harvick said. This week ate me
up. If it wasnt for Jimmie Johnson and
Tony Stewart, I would have been in bad
trouble this week. Those guys really
helped me get through the week. After
every practice, Jimmie was in there,
and in our team debriefs Tony was constantly telling me just to go race and that
its just another race.
Stewart shared an emotional hug with
Harvick, then beamed during the cel-
ebration.
Thats about as emotional as you
can get, to have one of your greatest
friends go out in one of your race cars
and win a championship in the toughest
series in the country, said Stewart.
Newman, winless on the season, finished second. Hamlin faded to seventh
and Logano was a distant 16th.
Harvicks wife, DeLana, sobbed on
the pit stand and buried her head in her
hands when Harvick crossed the finish
line. She hugged crew chief Childers,
who dabbed his eyes, before she made
it down to the victory celebration. She
met Stewart, who had retired from the
race earlier with a car problem and was
in street clothes, for an embrace and kiss
before holding her son for the victory
celebration.
Harvick hugged Childers and showered his jubilant crew with Budweiser,
the beer company that followed him
this year from Richard Childress Racing
to Stewart-Haas. Harvick spoke with
a catch in his voice, trying to compose
himself.
Stewart threw his arms around
Harvick and the close friends and teammates held each other tight for several
moments. It was Stewart who in 2012
convinced Harvick that if he left RCR
when his contract expired at the end of
2013, he could help Harvick win his
first title.
Stewart, co-owner Gene Haas and
Childers, who left Michael Waltrip
Racing for the chance to build Harvicks
team, delivered.
They gave us all the resources we
needed, Harvick added. We never
talked about money, we talked about
building a team. It was just go get what
you need.
For Stewart, Harvicks win took the
sting off of his 15-year winning streak
coming to a close Sunday.
It doesnt make up for a bad year,
Stewart added. I mean, Ive had a terrible year. But this makes the end of
November great.
NOTES: Stewarts 15-year streak of winning at least

one NASCAR race ended once the grill got knocked in on
his No. 14 Chevrolet and the engine overheated. Stewart
retired the car and finished last in the 43-car field.
His run began with a victory as a rookie on Sept. 11,
1999, at Richmond International Raceway, and is tied for
fourth-best in NASCAR history. Richard Petty holds the
record with 18 straight years.
Stewart had the worst season of his career and his
struggles continued at Homestead. He fell a lap down
early in the race and was never a threat.
He had a career-worst three top-5s and seven top-10s
but did win a sprint car race in July, extending his streak
of 36 consecutive years with a racing victory in at least
one series.
Browns fall flat, lose 23-7 to Texans

CLEVELAND The

leading to Clevelands locker
room seemed a tad premature.

Not quite.
We just realize were not

Despite starting a new

Houston Texans knocked
Cleveland from its 1-week
reign atop the AFC North
with a 23-7 win over the
Browns on Sunday.
Texans tornado J.J. Watt

time since 1994, the Browns
flat-lined before a raucous
crowd that grew quieter as
the game progressed.
Even the return of Pro
Bowl wide receiver Josh
Gordon from a 10-game suspension today wont dull the
pain from this stinging defeat.
The Browns were outplayed from the start and
failed to build upon the
impressive Thursday night
win in Cincinnati which had
brought them national attention.
The Browns may have lost
more than their division lead.
Linebacker Karlos Dansby
suffered a potentially serious
knee injury. Dansby, who has
had a major impact during
his first season in Cleveland,
will undergo an MRI today.
Pettine said theres concern
Dansbys injury could be
long term.
In the interim, the Browns
didnt look like a team ready
to contend for a playoff spot.
They had no answer for
Watt, who along with his TD
recorded a strip sack, made
five tackles three for a loss
and recovered a fumble.
They couldnt contain
Houstons rushing game as
rookie Alfred Blue ran for
156 yards on a franchiserecord 36 carries.

They got nothing from
their special teams again
as Billy Cundiff missed
a field goal, Marlon Moores
104-yard kickoff return was
nullified by a holding penalty
and long snapper Christian
Yount sailed one over punter
Spencer Lannings head.
Browns running back Ben
Tate was a non-factor against
his former team. He had just
two carries for minus-9 yards.
Hoyer completed 20 passes but had 30 incompletions
and finished with a careerhigh 330 yards and a touchdown. He missed open throws
and never found his rhythm.
Hoyer, who was outplayed by
Ryan Mallett making his first
career start, also took a hard
hit in the fourth quarter from
linebacker Brian Cushing, a
blow that left Hoyer gasping
for air and sent rookie backup
Johnny Manziel scrambling
for his helmet.
Wide receiver Andrew
Hawkins caught a 32-yard
TD and finished with six
catches for 97 yards.
RAMS 22, BRONCOS 7
ST. LOUIS Shaun Hill
was effective in his first start
since regaining the quarterback job and the St. Louis
Rams defense made life miserable for Peyton Manning
in a 22-7 victory over the
AFC West-leading Denver
Broncos on Sunday.
Rookie Tre Mason had
29 carries for 113 yards, the
most allowed by the Broncos
top-ranked run defense.
Kenny Britt had four
catches for 128 yards with
a 63-yard score and Greg
Zuerlein was a career-best 5
for 5 on field goals for the
Rams (4-6).
Manning was 34 for 54
for 389 yards with two interceptions but was held to a
42-yard touchdown pass to
Emmanuel Sanders, end-
ing a streak of 15 consecutive games with at least two

touchdown passes.
The Broncos (7-3) were
held to 28 yards rushing and
failed twice on fourth down
deep in St. Louis territory.
Manning threw incomplete from the 37 in the first
quarter and rookie Aaron
Donalds sack helped end a
drive in the fourth quarter on
fourth-and-4 from the 28.
CHIEFS 24, SEAHAWKS 20

KANSAS CITY, Mo.
Kansas City stopped Seattle
on fourth down three times
late in the fourth quarter,
holding on for a tense victory in a matchup of playoff
contenders.
Jamaal Charles ran for 159
yards and two touchdowns
and Knile Davis also ran for a
score as the Chiefs (7-3) won
their fifth straight game and
moved into a tie for first in
the AFC West.
Russell Wilson threw
for 178 yards and two
touchdowns,and Marshawn
Lynch had 124 yards rushing for Seattle (6-4). But the
Seahawks star running back,
fresh off a 4-touchdown
game, was stuffed twice by
the Kansas City defense with
the outcome hanging in the
balance.
The Seahawks last-chance
drive ended when Wilson
threw incomplete on fourthand-18 at their 20-yard line
with 1:13 left in the game.
PACKERS 53, EAGLES 20
GREEN BAY, Wis.
Aaron Rodgers passed for 341
yards and three touchdowns,
Julius Peppers returned his
second interception of the
season for a score and Green
Bays defense stuffed highoctane Philadelphia for a
rout.
The matchup of NFC
contenders quickly became
a blowout with the Packers
(7-3) racing out to a 30-6
halftime lead. Rodgers threw
for two touchdowns in the
first half, while Micah Hyde
scored on a 75-yard punt
return.
Peppers finished off the
Eagles by returning Mark
Sanchezs pass 52 yards for a
39-6 lead in the third quarter.
Philadelphia (7-3) was
held to 11 points below its

NFC-leading scoring average
by a Packers defense rejuvenated since Clay Matthews
moved to inside linebacker.
Green Bays offense was
in good hands again with
Rodgers, who broke Tom
Bradys NFL record of 288
straight passes at home without an interception.
CARDINALS 14, LIONS 6

GLENDALE, Ariz.
Drew Stanton threw touchdown passes to Michael
Floyd on Arizonas first two
possessions and the Cardinals
held Detroit without a touchdown, beating the Lions in a
matchup of teams with two of
the best records in the NFC.
Stanton, starting after
Carson Palmer was lost for
the season with a knee injury,
threw TD passes of 42 and 12
yards. After that, Arizonas
offense stalled and Stanton
threw two interceptions. But
the Lions couldnt convert
either turnover into a touchdown.
Arizona won its sixth in a
row to improve to an NFLbest 9-1. The Cardinals, with
their best record through 10
games since 1948, have a
three-game lead over Seattle
and San Francisco in the
NFC West.
Detroit (7-3) was held
without a touchdown for the
first time this season.
49ERS 16, GIANTS 10
EAST RUTHERFORD,
N.J. San Francisco rookie linebacker Chris Borland
intercepted a fourth-down
pass by Eli Manning at the
49ers 2 with 4:43 to play,
capping a goal-line stand
in a victory that sent errorplagued New York to its fifth
straight loss.
Borland had two of the
49ers five interceptions as
the Niners (6-4) survived a
game in which a big advantage in time of possession
and takeaways did not translate into a blowout on the
scoreboard.
Colin Kaepernick threw a
48-yard touchdown pass to
Michael Crabtree and Phil
Dawson kicked three firsthalf field goals as the 49ers
won their second straight on
the road.

Associated Press
NEW ORLEANS
Cincinnati Bengals receiver
A.J. Green counted himself
among the least surprised
to see a pair of long Andy
Dalton passes hit him in
stride during a pivotal fourthquarter drive against the New
Orleans Saints.
Dalton rebounded from
one of the worst outings of his
career with a composed, ruthlessly efficient performance,
completing 73 percent of his
throws for three touchdowns
in a 27-10 victory over New
Orleans on Sunday.
Hes our quarterback for
a reason. Hes one of the
best, Green said. We have
faith in him. He has faith in
himself. There was nothing
wrong with him this week.
For Dalton, the game represented a dramatic reversal
from a week ago, when he
completed only 10 passes for
86 yards and had a passer
rating of 2.0 in a 24-3 loss to
Cleveland.
Against New Orleans
(4-6), Dalton was 16 of 22
for 220 yards, did not throw
an interception and finished
with a passer rating of 143.9
as he helped lift Cincinnati
(6-3-1) back into first place
in the AFC North.
You lose and everybody
wants to run you out. You
win, everybody is going to
like you, Dalton said. Im
not too worried about that.
This was a big win for us
and so its good to bounce
back and get a big win on the
road.
Two of Daltons touchdown passes went to tight
end Jermaine Gresham. The
other was a pinpoint 24-yard
pass along the left sideline to
Green, who had six catches
for 127 yards. Greshams first
touchdown required some
extra effort after he fumbled
while trying to stretch for the
goal line.
Saints cornerback Brian
Dixon tried to scoop up the
ball but it slipped through his
hands and into the end zone,
where Gresham recovered.
That gave Cincinnati the
lead for good at 7-3 in the
first quarter.
Drew Brees passed for 255
yards, including a 9-yard TD
to Kenny Stills on the first
play of the fourth quarter.
Despite the loss, the Saints
remained tied with Atlanta
for first place in the anemic
NFC South after the Falcons
(4-6) defeated Carolina (3-61).
Could we go to the playoffs? Yes, we could but we
need to start playing like it,
Brees said.
I feel good about our
chances and our opportunity
that we have, Brees added,
apologizing for his optimism.
Were learning a lot about
how to win. Unfortunately,
its because of failure but failure can be the best teacher at
times.
The Saints most recent
failure represented one
of their worst losses in the
Superdome in a decade. They
havent lost by more than

17 points in the dome since
a 34-13 defeat to Denver in
2004.
Im obviously not doing a
very good job, Saints coach
Sean Payton said. They
clearly outplayed us in every
area.
New Orleans went unbeaten at home for more than a
season before falling in overtime to San Francisco a week
earlier.
The crowd tried to generate chaos-inducing noise
when the Bengals offense
was on the field but Dalton
looked unfazed. He threw
confidently from the pocket
for much of the game, but
also scrambled away from
pressure as needed and completed passes on the run.
Cincinnati converted nine out
of 13 third downs.
The Saints also struggled
to stop former LSU star
Jeremy Hill, who carried
27 times for 152 yards. His
62-yard run set up a field goal
at the end of the first half.
One of Daltons biggest
throws came in the fourth
quarter, when Cincinnati had
the ball and a 20-10 lead but
faced third-and-18 on its 12.
The crowd was roaring,
sensing a chance for the
Saints to sneak back into
the game, but Dalton spotted Green in 1-on-1 coverage
with Brian Dixon along the
right sideline, hitting him in
stride deep downfield for a
38-yard gain. The play sustained a drive that culminated
in Greens TD.
Cincinnatis
defense
entered the game looking
beat up and missing starting linebacker Vontaze
Burfict (knee) and starting
cornerback Terence Newman
(knee).
Still, the unit held Brees
to his second-lowest yards
passing total all season while
also ending Mark Ingrams
3-game streak of 100-yard
rushing games. Ingram had
67 yards on 23 carries.
The Bengals also made a
clutch defensive stand after
the Saints had a first-and-goal
on the 3 in the second quarter. New Orleans came away
from the 17-play drive with
nothing after linebacker Rey
Maualuga, playing through a
sore hamstring, snuffed out
a short fourth-down pass to
fullback Erik Lorig.
Anytime you can keep
a touchdown off the board
against this offense, thats a
doggone big swing there,
Bengals coach Marvin Lewis
said.
Notes: Saints S Rafael
Bush was hurt late in the
fourth quarter and said after
the game he had a fractured
tibia. Bengals DE Margus
Hunt left with an ankle injury
in the first half.

Ohio State survives Minnesota,

now 7th place in AP poll
By DAVE CAMPBELL
Associated Press
MINNEAPOLIS Ohio State
could have found a trap game waiting at
Minnesota, coming off that resounding
win at Michigan State.
The Buckeyes sidestepped a setback
with a resilient performance against the
gritty Gophers, positioning themselves
to move up in the College Football
Playoff rankings after some of the teams
ahead of them had trouble.
That was a really great team that we
just played, Ohio State wide receiver
Evan Spencer said after Saturdays 31-24
victory at cold and snowy Minnesota.
Strength of schedule and style points
will factor into the CFP committees
decision on the final four teams that will
play in the first true national championship format in the history of the sports
top tier. A loss at home to Virginia Tech
has shackled Ohio States resume all
season but the Buckeyes surged back
into contention by decisively beating the
Spartans. Then they survived three turnovers, the wintry weather and a powerful
running game by the Gophers.
The 1-touchdown margin wont stand
out on a list of scores, considering Ohio
State was a 12-point favorite and has lost
only twice to Minnesota since 1966. But
the Buckeyes (9-1, 6-0) were adamant
afterward about the quality of this Big
Ten win.
I challenge any team in the country
that wants to go ahead and schedule this
Associated Press
OHL CLASSIC
PLAYA DEL CARMEN,
Mexico Charley Hoffman
began to wonder if he would
ever win another PGA Tour
event. Even after he rallied
to win the OHL Classic at
Mayakoba on Sunday, he
was reminded of how long it
had been when his wife and
two young daughters joined
in the celebration.
My last win was when
Claire was in my wifes
stomach, Hoffman replied
with a smile.
That would be his oldest
daughter, who just turned 4.
Hoffman rallied from
a 3-shot deficit on the El
Camaleon course, taking
advantage of Danny Lees
mistakes on the back nine
and Shawn Stefani failing to
put any pressure on him at
the very end.
Hoffman closed with a
5-under 66 after taking two
putts for a bogey on the 18th.
It was his third career victory. He had gone 105 starts
between his first and second
win; this time, he went 108
starts until winning the final
PGA Tour event of the calendar year.
Stefani, who closed with
a 69, made an 18-foot birdie
putt on the 17th to get within
one shot. Stefani then hit into
a fairway bunker with a lip
one in November, coach Urban Meyer

said.
Ohio State moved up to seventh in
The Associated Press poll published on
Sunday. The next CFP rankings will be
revealed on Tuesday.
The Buckeyes were eighth on the
CFP list last week and sixth-ranked
Arizona State lost at Oregon State. No. 5
TCU also struggled, needing a late rally
to beat lowly Kansas. The top-ranked
team, Mississippi State, lost to Alabama.
Ohio State finishes the season at
home against Indiana (3-7, 0-6) and
Michigan (5-5, 3-3). Then theres the
Big Ten championship game, assuming
the Buckeyes win at least one of those
next two to clinch the East Division title.
Four teams, including Minnesota (7-3,
4-2), remain alive in the West Division
race. Wisconsin (8-2, 5-1) is the leader.
Outstanding, Meyer replied when
asked what the mood was like in the
Golf Capsules
so steep that he had no option

but to hit sand wedge some
50 yards short of the green.
Hoffman hit driver that rolled
up against the base of a tree,
which forced him to play a
left-handed shot back to the
fairway.
Hoffman safely played
some 30 feet left of the hole.
Stefanis pitch came up woefully short and chipped to 5
feet. That allowed Hoffman
two putts for the win and he
rolled his par putt to within
18 inches for a tap-in bogey.
Hoffman finished at
17-under 267.
Lee. who shot a 67, finished two shots behind in
a tie for third with Andres
Gonzalez, who had a 67 for
his best career finish.
Jason Bohn, the 54-hole
leader, closed with a 74 and
tied for seventh.
Carlos Ortiz (68) and
Oscar Fraustro (69) both
played well in their native
country and tied for ninth.
LORENA OCHOA
INVITATIONAL
MEXICO
CITY
Christina Kim won the
Lorena Ochoa Invitational on
Sunday for her first LPGA
Tour title in nine years, beating Shanshan Feng in a playoff after losing a 5-stroke
lead.
Kim won with a tap-in
par on the par-4 18th on the
second extra hole at Club de
Golf Mexico.
Kim won for the first
time since the Tournament
of Champions in November
2005, ending a 221-tournament victory drought.
Feng, from China, drove
left on the second playoff
hole, with her ball settling
too close to a tree truck for
her to do anything but chip
sideways into the fairway.
With Kim already pin high
20 feet right of the hole, Feng
hit her 9-iron approach to 25
feet also to the right. Her
par putt slid by the right edge
and Kim two-putted for the
emotional victory.
Feng had a birdie putt
to win on No. 18 on the
first playoff hole but left her
15-footer inches short and
left. Kim then made a 5-foot
par putt to extend the playoff.
Kim bogeyed the final
hole of regulation running a 3-footer past the left
edge for a 1-under 71
that left her tied with Feng at
15-under 273.
Feng shot 66.
Top-ranked Inbee Park
was third at 11 under after a
68. Brittany Lincicome and
So Yeon Ryu followed at 9
under. Lincicome had a 69
and Ryu shot 71.
brought the point spread down to

five but the Eagles quickly responded
with a 12-3 run. The half ended with
Spalding on top, 39-25.
Coming out from the locker rooms
the teams were back and forth until
freshman Macey Sheerer (Bucyrus)
made her way to center stage to pull
the Beavers back into striking distance. With a long-range shot for three
from Taylor Whitaker (Mansfield/
Lexington), Bluffton trimmed the
Spalding lead to just six points at
56-50.
This comeback was answered by
Spalding as the Eagles used a 16-7
spurt to finish off Bluffton 72-57.
Leading the Beavers in scoring
were Sheerer with 13 and Coburn with
12, including 5-of-8 shooting from the
field. Leading scorers for the Eagles
were Styles with 23 points and Guy
with 21, both being 8-of-16 from the
field.
The Beavers hit 19-of-66 (28.8
percent) shots from the field, much less
efficient than their components who
were 26-of-59 (44.1 percent). Bluffton
converted 15-of-21 (71.4 percent) at
the stripe, compared to the Spaldings
17-of-25 (68.0 percent).

ST LOUIS, Mo. The Bluffton

University womens basketball team
traveled to Missouri for their season
opener in the Webster Tip-off Classic,
facing the Spalding University Golden
Eagles.
The Beavers fell behind by 14 at
the break and were unable to get any
closer than six points in the second half
in dropping the season opener, 72-57.
Spalding charged out of the gates
quickly, putting up seven points within
the first minute and a half before
Bluffton was able to get any points on
the board. The Eagles continued to bolster their lead as the Beavers struggled
to put the biscuit in the basket. It
took nine minutes before the Beavers
hit their first shot, a Mikayla Coburn
(McGuffey/Upper Scioto Valley) triple
which made the score 17-7.
After Bluffton broke the lid off of
the hoop, the Beavers slowly inched
their way back into the game as
Spalding continued to send them to
the free throw line. With two makes
from the charity stripe, senior Brenna
Kurilec (Mt. Gilead/Gilead Christian)
locker room afterward. Like were

one game away from winning the East
championship. Thats what its like.
The temperature of 15 degrees at
kickoff was the lowest in Buckeyes
records dating back more than a halfcentury. Whether in wintry or summerlike conditions, though, Ohio State has
the fastest team in the Big Ten.
The Gophers were the latest to find
that out first hand. Freshman J.T. Barrett
kept the ball on a third-and-1 readoption play in the first quarter and
burst into a wide-open secondary for an
86-yard run, the longest ever by an Ohio
State quarterback. He threw an interception and Jalin Marshall lost two fumbles,
leading to 21 points for Minnesota, but
the Buckeyes did plenty more right on
an afternoon when it would have been
easy for a lot to go wrong.
Barrett threw for three touchdowns
and ran for a score and 189 yards, one
of three of Braxton Millers records he
broke in another well-beyond-his-years
performance. Barrett completed 15 of
25 passes for 200 yards in another stellar showing by the fill-in for the injured
Miller.
I had no idea that this is who J.T.
Barrett is, Meyer added. Very clear
picture of who he is now.
The country has a clearer picture of
these Buckeyes now, too. Stung by that
loss to the Spartans in last seasons Big
Ten title game, they are still in the hunt
for the ultimate goal of a national championship.

maiden European Tour title

after overcoming a 2-shot
deficit in the final round
to win the Turkish Airlines

The American player shot
a final-round 7-under 65 for
an overall 17 under 271 that

Poulter had a chance to

Koepka jumped from 43rd

Manning threw a 19-yard
touchdown pass to tight end
Larry Donnell on New Yorks
opening possession but the
reeling Giants (3-7) only got
a field goal from Josh Brown
the rest of the way.
BEARS 21, VIKINGS 13
CHICAGO Jay Cutler
threw for 330 yards and three
touchdowns and Chicago
won for just the second time
in seven games, beating
Minnesota.
Ryan Mundy intercepted
Teddy Bridgewaters 29-yard
pass in the end zone in the
closing minute and the Bears
hung on for the win after
suffering two of the worst
blowout losses in franchise
history.
Alshon
Jeffery
had
135 yards receiving and a
touchdown catch, Brandon
Marshall added 90 yards and
two TD receptions and Matt
Forte ran for 117 yards.
Jared Allen had a sack
against his former team and
the Bears (4-6) prevailed after
joining the 1923 Rochester
Jeffersons as the only teams
to give up 50 or more points
in consecutive games with
blowouts at New England
and Green Bay. But it was
a different story against the
Vikings (4-6).
FALCONS 19,
PANTHERS 17
CHARLOTTE, N.C.
Matt Ryan threw for 268
yards and a touchdown, Matt
Bryant added four field goals
and Atlanta moved into a tie
for first place in the lowly
NFC South with a win over
Carolina.
Bryants 44-yard field
goal with 2:08 left put
Atlanta ahead for good and
the Falcons withstood a late
Carolina rally.

SAN DIEGO Philip
Rivers threw a 22-yard touchdown pass to Malcom Floyd
on the games third play from
scrimmage and San Diego
held on for a lackluster victory against winless Oakland,
extending the Raiders losing
streak to 16.
Rivers hurt his right leg
midway through the third
quarter but stayed in the
game. The injury appeared to
get progressively worse and
Rivers was walking gingerly
on the sideline in the fourth
as backup Kellen Clemens
warmed up. But Rivers
went back in after Sebastian
Janikowski kicked a 25-yard
field goal to pull the Raiders
within a touchdown with four
minutes to play.
The
Chargers
(6-4)
snapped a 3-game losing
streak and welcomed back
Ryan Mathews, Manti Teo
and Melvin Ingram, who had
been out since September.
The skid by the Raiders
(0-10) is the equivalent of a
full season. Monday is the
1-year anniversary of their
last win, 28-23 at Houston.

DEAR DOCTOR
K: I sometimes have
dark, strong-smelling
urine. Should I be
concerned?
DEAR READER:
Given
that
this
happens
only
occasionally,
it
probably
is
not
something to worry
about. But before
reassuring you, I
would need answers
to some questions:
-- By dark, do you
mean dark yellow? Or
is your urine brown or
red?
If your urine is just
a dark yellow color
at times, especially
when you dont drink
enough fluids, then
you dont need to
worry. Dark yellow
urine is a sign of
dehydration.

DEAR ABBY: My husband and

I are pregnant with our first child.
We are beyond excited and cant
wait for our little one to get here.
Our problem: My mother-in-law
is getting married two weeks after
our baby is supposed to arrive, and
shes expecting all of us to go.
While Im happy she has found
someone she wants to spend her
life with, I will not be there and
neither will our child. I have told
my husband this and explained
my concerns, but I will support
him if he decides to go since its
his mother.
How can I turn her down in a
polite way so it doesnt sound like
Im a horrible daughter-in-law? -FIRST-TIME MAMA
DEAR FIRST-TIME MAMA:
Unless a woman is having a
C-section, babies dont always
arrive on the expected due date.
Sometimes they can be a week
late -- or more. If you feel you
need time to rest, recuperate and
get your child on a regular nursing
schedule, tell that to your motherin-law.
As a new mother you are
going to have to quickly learn
to prioritize, and your childs
well-being and your health must
come first. Expect her to be
disappointed, but make clear
that you love her and wish her a
lifetime of happiness, but you will
be unable to attend.
DEAR ABBY: Is it OK for
an older woman to wear fancy,
colorful tights? My wife is 5 feet
tall and weighs 110. Shes in good
health and works out at the gym
regularly. She wears her tights
there, or when shes working in
the garden or at the market. She
dresses conservatively for work
and church.

age. Im afraid my wife will
overhear it one of these days and
be hurt. What is your opinion?
She still looks wonderful to me.

DEAR MARRIED: As an
adult -- and in good shape -- your
wife should wear anything that
pleases her, including leopard
tights if she wishes. It appears
the local women are more jealous
kitties than ladies. Nice ladies
dont make catty comments
behind someones back.
DEAR ABBY: On Oct. 11
you printed my letter about
feeling like an overlooked middle
child. In the comments on your
website was an outpouring of
support and friendly tips. I am
happy to say I am now involved
in extracurricular activities. Im
much happier, and would like to
thank all your readers who took the
time to give me so much support.

Must show ID & pay when placing ad. ReguQ: On the show Judge Judy, is there any
lar rates apply
incentive for the participants to appear on the

program and be berated by the
acid tongue of Judy Sheindlin?
-- P.M.R., Mansfield, Ohio
A: Yes, there are incentives
-- in fact, there are thousands
of them. Its an unusual
premise: Do harm to your
fellow man, but get off the
hook because the producers of
the program pay the judgment.
Not only that, but plaintiffs Judge Judy
and defendants receive a daily
stipend as well as coverage for all expenses.
As for the civic-minded onlookers wishing to
see justice being served, they, too, are paid. They
laugh, talk and gasp on cue.
Q: I have an 1886 penny; can you please tell
me what it is worth? -- D.D., Augusta, Kan.
A: First, let me tell you this is an Indian head
penny. Indian head pennies were first minted in
1859 and continued in production until 1909.
Toward the end of 1886, a design change was
made, creating a Type II coin, which is much
rarer and more valuable. Condition is the key
word in appraising a coin. A penny in good
condition is worth a few dollars, while one in
uncirculated condition is worth possibly more
than $200. You need to see a coin dealer.
Q: I love the movie The Green Mile. I watch
it every time its on TV. The last time I saw the
film, there was an In memory of notice for
the actor who played the character John Coffey.
What can you tell me about this actor? -- E.M.,
Mansfield, Ohio
A: Michael Clarke Duncan was born Dec.
10, 1957, in Chicago. While in high school, he
wanted to play football, but his mother wouldnt
let him, fearing he would get hurt. He attended
a community college and got a job as a laborer
before moving to Hollywood, where he got small
parts and acted as a bodyguard to celebrities.
After securing a breakout role in
Armageddon (1998), Duncans co-star Bruce
Willis called the director for the upcoming film
The Green Mile and suggested Duncan for
the role of convict John Coffey. For the role,
Duncan was nominated for an Academy Award
and Golden Globe.
Duncan was a giant of a man, standing 6 feet,
5 inches tall. He died on Sept. 3, 2012, of a heart
attack; he was 54.

urine is dark because

your kidneys are
doing what they are
supposed to do when
you are dehydrated:
conserving water by
making less urine. If
this is the case, drink
more water -- eight
8-ounce glasses each
day.
Certain foods and

medicines can change
urine color and make
it
smell.
Eating
asparagus is a good
example of a food
that causes your urine
to take on a distinct
odor. Eating beets
can turn your urine
red and make you
worry that you might
have blood in your
urine. (We doctors
have manufactured
a
medical
term
for this condition:
beeturia.)
There are times
when a change in the
color or smell of your
urine warrants a visit
to your doctor. For

This could be a sign
of something serious,
like
a
bladder,
kidney, blood or liver
problem.
-- Does it hurt when
you urinate? Do you
have pain high up on
one (or both) sides of
your back, weakness,
fatigue or fever?
If so, you should
see your doctor. You
could be having
intermittent bacterial
infections of your
urinary tract. Usually,
such infections dont
turn urine dark -unless they cause
temporary bleeding -but they can. Urinary
tract infections often
cause pain when
you urinate. Other
symptoms
include
having to urinate
often and feeling a
pressure to urinate.
-- Have the whites
of your eyes turned
yellow?
If so, you could be
having liver trouble.
When the liver is not
working
properly,
increased amounts
of a dark pigment
(bilirubin) appear in
the blood and in the
urine. Your doctor
can check your liver
function with blood
tests.
If
youre
concerned, collect a
fresh urine sample
when you have dark
urine. Any kind of
container is OK.
Bring
the
urine
sample to the doctor
within a few hours
after collecting it. The
doctor will be able
to test the urine for
blood cells (looking
for both bleeding and
infection). The urine
also can be tested to
see if the kidneys are
conserving water, as
they do when you get
dehydrated.
Finally, the urine
can be tested for
chemicals that turn
the
urine
dark,
such as bilirubin
or myoglobin. To
test for a bacterial
infection, its best to
provide a fresh urine
sample collected in
a sterile container at
the doctors office.

Beining
After the attack, they proceeded on to Leige. They
were put on special alert
because Germans had infiltrated the area dressed as
American soldiers. It was
very cold and they could
hear gunfire all night and see
flashes of shells exploding.
Ray said: Thank God the
2nd Armored Division came
along with tanks the next day
and we were relieved. Our
next position was air protection for First Army headquarters. They saw many dog
fights in the air. Christmas
Eve was beautiful with about
four inches of snow and they
were sleeping in pup tents.
Being close to the headquarters they did have turkey for
Christmas dinner. This was
all during what has always
been known as The Battle of
the Bulge.
McCoy
In February, they moved

on to the opposite side of
Antwerp as the V-1s were
being launched from new
sites toward Antwerp. They
kept falling all around them.
By March 1945, the bombers had knocked out the V-1
launch sites, so we were in
a rest mode. I got a 48-hour
Paris pass. Melvin Beining
was in Paris at that time and
knew his way around and we
saw all the sights and had a
good time. We went out of
action on April 20th.
On 7 May 1945
Germany said: We quit!
while Ray and his buddy
were on a pass in Brussels.
We did get back to camp
that night but I dont know
how. They moved on Metz
and Reims, France, and had
plenty of time for passes to
Paris and Reims.
From Sept. 10-20, Ray got
a furlough to Switzerland.

McCoy referred to the days immediately following the tornado as totally
overwhelming but he noted that it
would have been much more so if it
hadnt been for all of the agencies and
individuals that came to the countys
aid in total dedication.
These days, while McCoys responsibilities largely lie in the area of
weather events, he is also in charge of
hazmat (hazardous materials) events
and other dangers that might encroach
on county residents. My job is to plan
for any type of disaster and to train
local personnel to assist with that,
McCoy said. I have to write down
all public-trained plans and coordinate
from those plans if a disaster does actually occur.
Ironically, McCoys first inkling of
becoming interested in weather forecasting occurred when he was a young
boy and his father took him into Adams
County, Ind., to view the massive damage from the Palm Sunday tornado on
April 11, 1965. I was so impressed
by all of that. It was then, as a young
boy, that I immediately became interested in weather and weather forecasting, McCoy said. It was my goal all
through my childhood.
After high school graduation in
Convoy, he became a member of the
Convoy Police Department. Then, from
1980-90, he worked on the Van Wert
County Sheriff Department. In 1990,
00106357
It was beautiful because

Switzerland remained neutral
and there was no destruction.
Following that furlough they
were trained as MPs and spent
the next four or five months
at various camps in France.
Finally in February, they got
word to pack for home. We
sailed from LaHavre, France,
on Feb. 8 and arrived in New
York on Feb. 15, 1946. Got
a royal welcome, with fire
boats spraying water and
sirens blowing. Best thing
though, was seeing the Statue
of Liberty.
The next day Ray got his
discharge papers and boarded
a bus for Lima.
Ray will soon celebrate
his 90th birthday.
To be continued. Stories
from Melvin Kloeppel and
Ralph Hoehn will be featured
in the second portion of this
article.
when former Van Wert County EMA

director Dale Lautzenheiser retired,
McCoy applied for the job and was
hired. He is now in his 24th year as the
countys EMA director.
When I started law enforcement
in 1978, I came out into the country
and spotted storms, said McCoy. I
became real interested in storm events.
It was like I was living in the movie,
The Wizard of Oz.
McCoy told about a time when he
was spotting storms along the IndianaOhio state line when a tornado on the
ground came spiraling across the field
and hit his patrol car.
It didnt hurt anything but the car
was shaking all over the place, said
McCoy. Needless to say, I was sitting
there praying.
After becoming EMA director,
McCoy decided to attend weather
classes at Mississippi State University,
one of the leading weather training universities in the country. He eventually
became affiliated with the American
Meteorological Society that meets in
Fort Wayne. It was there that he met
weather forecaster Sandy Thompson,
from WANE-TV, Channel 15 in Fort
Wayne.
She knew that I had taken weather
classes. She asked me if I wanted to
start working for her at Channel 15,
McCoy said.
For the next several years, McCoy
did weekend and morning weather forecasting for the local television channel.
US review of IS video
confirms Americans death
ABOARD AIR FORCE ONE (AP)
The White House on Sunday confirmed the
death of U.S. aid worker Peter Kassig, a
former soldier who tried to help wounded
Syrians caught in a brutal civil war but ended
up dying himself at the hands of Islamic
State militants.
President Barack Obama, in a statement
issued as he flew back to Washington after a
trip to the Asia Pacific region, said the group
revels in the slaughter of innocents, including Muslims, and is bent only on sowing death
and destruction.
With Kassigs death, IS has killed five
Westerners it was holding. Britons David
Haines, a former Air Force engineer, and
Alan Henning, a taxi driver from northwest
England, were beheaded, as was U.S. reporter
James Foley and American-Israeli journalist
Steven Sotloff.
The U.S. confirmation about Kassig came
after a review of an IS video released Sunday
that purported to show extremists beheading
a dozen Syrian soldiers and concluded with a
militant claiming to have killed the American.

After his capture in eastern Syria on Oct. 1,
2013, while delivering relief supplies for the
aid group he founded, Kassig had converted
to Islam and took the name Abdul-Rahman
Kassig.
Obama said Kassig was a humanitarian who worked to save the lives of Syrians
injured and dispossessed by war.
The president said the 26-year-old
Indianapolis man was taken from us in an act
of pure evil by a terrorist group that the world
rightly associates with inhumanity.
Obama offered prayers and condolences to
Kassigs family. We cannot begin to imagine
their anguish at this painful time, he said.
Obama said IS exploits the tragedy in
Syria to advance their own selfish aims and
that Kassig was so moved by the anguish and
suffering of Syrian civilians that he plunged
into a relief mission.
These were the selfless acts of an individual who cared deeply about the plight of the
Syrian people, Obama said in his statement.
Prince William, Kate to visit NYC
Following his nationally-recognized

expertise in his work following the big
tornado, McCoy received various meteorological awards and EMA awards.
He was flown to Washington, D.C.,
and given a citation in front of National
officials in Washington. He was also
asked to give several programs about
the Van Wert tornado on the nationallyknown Weather Channel.
In addition, he was recognized by
the State of Ohio as having the topnotch EMA program in the state.
These days, McCoy confers with
National Weather Service officials in
Syracuse, Indiana, on a daily basis
to receive updates on a daily and
future basis. The NWS often calls
on him to study potential tornado
touchdowns in northwest Ohio and
northeast Indiana.
When asked about the success of his
weather forecasting, he replied, training, training local personnel to assist
when weather disaster strikes. The success in working with any disaster is
having trained local personnel.
We need resources from local
people that know the area to report
their observations to us, said McCoy.
When reports started coming to me in
that Nov. 10 tornado, they were coming
from trained spotters that were situated in the western part of the county.
They allowed me to give an advanced
warning that allowed people to find
appropriate shelter as the storm came
towards our city.
LONDON
(AP)
British royal officials say

Prince William and his wife,
Kate, are traveling to the
United States next month
on a trip that includes visits
to the National September
11 Memorial and an NBA
basketball game.
The visit, from Dec. 7-9,
will be based in New York,
although William will travel
to Washington, D.C., on his
own on Dec. 8 to attend a
conference against the trade
in illegal wildlife parts.

The
Duchess
of
Cambridge will visit a child
development center, accompanied by New York Citys
first lady Chirlane McCray.
The royal couple will
both visit the Sept. 11
memorial, attend the NBA
game and tour a youth
organization together. The
trip wraps up with a gala
dinner at the Metropolitan
Museum of Art.
Trivia
Answers to Fridays questions:

The MGM lion, developed before the formation of
MGM, was the original trademark for the newly-formed
(Samuel) Goldwyn Pictures Corporation. It was the creation
of a young advertising man named Howard Dietz, who was
inspired by his alma mater Columbia Universitys football
song, Roar, Lion Roar! In 1924 when Goldwyn Pictures
merged with Metro Studio and Louis B. Mayer to form
MGM, the trademark animal, now named Leo, went along.
The first president born west of the Mississippi was Herbert
Hoover, born on Aug. 10, 1874, in West Branch, Iowa.
Todays questions:
Who changed the name of the Maryland presidential
retreat from Shangri-La to Camp David?
What was Geronimos real name?
