POMEROY — It’s beginning to look a lot
like Christmas in downtown Pomeroy. The numerous light posts in downtown Pomeroy are
adorned with lighted greenery and wreaths, the
mini parks feature holiday scenes, and on the
parking lot the stage area and two gazebos are
in the process of being decorated for the holiday season by local church groups. The annual
Christmas parade takes place on Nov. 27 and
will be followed with the children’s visit with
Santa at Peoples Bank, a band concert on Court
Street, story time with Santa in the Court Street
mini-park, and extended hours for shoppers by
the downtown businesses.

RIO GRANDE — The
University of Rio Grande/
Rio Grande Community
College’s Symphonic Band
will hold its annual fall semester concert on Thursday, Nov. 17.
This year’s concert will
include video presentations, a special guest musician and a few Christmas
songs. The concert, which
will begin at 8 p.m. in the
Berry Fine and Performing
Arts Center at Rio Grande,
will be enjoyed by audience
members of all ages.
The Symphonic Band

is a mixture of Rio Grande
students and community
members from around
southern Ohio and West
Virginia, especially the
Point Pleasant area in West
Virginia. The concert is free
and open to the public.
Gary Stewart, director
of instrumental music at
Rio Grande, serves as the
director of the Symphonic
Band and explained that
this year’s concert will use
graphics and video presentations for several of the
songs.
One of the pieces, “Trail

of Tears,” will use images
projected on the big screen
while the music is playing. Students in the Graphics Design program at Rio
Grande created several
of the images that will be
shown.
In addition, Rio Grande
student Mason Traylor will
introduce the piece and will
serve as a narrator during
the song.
The Rio Grande Symphonic Band has a tradition
of featuring an adjunct music faculty member in the
fall concert each year, and

this year’s show will feature
Scott Michal.
Michal is a professional
musician and composer,
in addition to his teaching
work at Rio Grande. He
will play the cello during
the song, “Elegie,” at the
concert.
“It is a special piece that
will feature his expertise on
the cello,” Stewart said. Michal is an outstanding musician who has performed
with several professional
orchestras. In addition, his

POINT PLEASANT —
A preliminary hearing in the
case against Mason County
Sheriff David Anthony will
likely be set on Tuesday by
a Roane County magistrate
appointed to the case by
Circuit Court Judge David
Nibert.
Nibert appointed Magistrate Russell W. Goodwin of
Roane County as a special
magistrate to preside over
the matter. Mason County
Magistrates Gail Roush and
Cheryl Miller-Ross asked
to be recused in the case as
a matter of protocol.
On Monday, a spokesperson for Goodwin’s office said she had just received information on the
case, and a date for Anthony’s preliminary hearing
would likely be scheduled
and announced Tuesday.
Anthony was arrested on
a felony wanton endangerment charge on Thursday
night in Putnam County
where he also appeared before a magistrate who set
his bond at $20,000. Anthony later posted bond on Friday and has been released.
However, even though the
arrest took place in Putnam
County, since the warrant
for his arrest was issued in
Mason County, it was up to
the judicial system in Mason County to schedule the
preliminary hearing, even if
it has to go through Roane
County to do it.
According to two of his
deputies, Anthony allegedly discharged a firearm
near a 13-year old relative
while intoxicated. The deputies reported this incident
to the Mason County Commission which then drafted
a letter, through the Mason
County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office, to the West
Virginia State Police, which
investigated the incident
and made the arrest.
Though Anthony hasn’t
spoken about the incident
publicly, a news media outlet interviewed neighbors
who claim to have witnessed the discharge of the
firearm, saying it wasn’t
discharged near the juvenile, and the incident has
been blown out of proportion. Investigators with the
West Virginia State Police
feel differently and stand
behind the arrest. Post Commander Sgt. EB Starcher of
the Mason County Detachment of the W.Va. State Police told the Point Pleasant
Register the Mason County
Commission and Mason
County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office has also asked
his agency to investigate
another incident regarding
Anthony but did not elaborate further.
The Mason County
Commission, which only
has control over Anthony’s
budget and not Anthony
who is an elected official,
has stated all it can do at
this point is let the justice
system do its part in determining what happens next.
The commission has also
been consulting with the
prosecuting attorney’s office to see if it has any other
legal options in this matter.
Anthony, who was elected
to the post, remains sheriff.

Buffett’s firm reveals
several new investments
OMAHA, Neb. (AP)
— Warren Buffett’s company revealed new stakes
in Intel, DirecTV, General Dynamics and CVS
Caremark to accompany
Berkshire
Hathaway
Inc.’s headline-making
investment in IBM.
Berkshire
disclosed
the new investments
Monday in a quarterly
update it filed on its U.S.
stock holdings. Buffett
announced Berkshire’s
purchase of more than 5
percent of IBM’s stock
during an earlier interview.
Berkshire
estimates
that each of the new investments, besides IBM,
were worth less than
$200 million at the end
of September. That dollar figure suggests those
investments were made
by Berkshire’s new investment manager Todd
Combs, who manages
between $1 billion and
$3 billion.
But it’s not clear who
picked the investments
because the filing doesn’t
differentiate
between
investments
Berkshire
makes, investments any
of roughly 80 subsidiaries make, or investments
made by Buffett himself.

child at McDonald’s in
Ohio
CINCINNATI
(AP)
— An Ohio court official says a 13-year-old
boy charged with raping
a 5-year-old girl at a McDonald’s play area is denying the accusation.
Chief Magistrate Carla
Guenthner of Hamilton
County Juvenile Court
says the boy denied the
charge Saturday at a Cincinnati hearing. The boy
is in juvenile detention
awaiting a Nov. 22 trial.
Sheriff’s spokesman
Steve Barnett says the
alleged assault occurred
Oct. 29 at a McDonald’s
in the Cincinnati suburb
of Anderson Township.
Barnett says the girl’s
grandmother was nearby
in the restaurant at the
time.
The McDonald’s owner says in a statement that
he was upset to learn of
the alleged rape and is
cooperating with investigators.
The boy’s parents
brought him to authorities last week after a security camera photo of
the suspect was released.
Obama urges Congress to reach consensus
on deficit
^

KAPOLEI,
Hawaii
(AP) — President Barack
Obama is urging Congress to reach consensus
on a plan to slash the nation’s deficit, saying lawmakers are continuing
to stick with “rigid positions” rather than solving
the problem.
A committee in charge
of cutting the deficit has
until Nov. 23 to agree on
how to reduce it by at
least $1.2 trillion in the
next decade.
Any amount less than
that would be made up
in automatic across-theboard cuts divided evenly
between defense and domestic programs.
Obama says at a news
conference in Hawaii that
he hopes lawmakers will
“bite the bullet and do
what needs to be done.”
He says it appears
members of Congress
“want to keep jiggering
the math” to get a different outcome.

Death Notice
Gene McQuaid

Gene McQuaid, 74, of
Lorain, formerly of Gallipolis, died Thursday, Nov.
10, 2011, at his residence.
Funeral services are being
held today (Tuesday) at
noon at the Wyers Funeral

time in her adult life.
The Oscar winning
actress tells the December issue of Vogue
magazine this is the
“first time” she’s been
unattached since she
was nineteen. She used
to go from one relationship to another — some
within a month — saying she found a “comfort zone” being monogamous.
The
36-year-old
Theron dated actor Stuart Townsend for nearly 10 years before their
breakup in 2010. She
says she pulled back on
her career as an effort
to save the union when
the relationship began
to go downhill, calling
that “the priority” and
that she “wouldn’t do it
any different way.”
Theron is now ready
to work with the romantic comedy “Young
Adult” written by Diablo Cody and directed
by Jason Reitman. It
opens Dec. 16.
The December issue of Vogue magazine
goes on sale Nov. 22.

the band who want to play it
and people in the audience
who want to hear it.”
The Rio Grande Symphonic Band currently has
65 members, and is made
up of Rio Grande students,
several outstanding high
school students, and community members of all ages.
“Around 10 of our members are band directors
and music educators from
around the region,” Stewart added. The members all

work together well and enjoy rehearsing and performing as a group.
The band members have
been working hard during the fall semester, and
are prepared to present an
entertaining and enjoyable
concert.
The Symphonic Band is
open to the public and area
musicians are invited to join
the group for the spring semester. No auditions are
necessary.
“Just bring an instrument
and show up,” Stewart said,
adding that the group rehearses on Thursday evenings from 7-9 p.m. in the

Power outage reveals Court rejects appeal by Ohio
man who killed three sons
Internet obsession
Dear Dr. Brothers: During the recent hurricane season, I found out something
very disturbing. We had
several power outages, and
one lasted several days. I
thought of myself as a moderate Internet user — I enjoy going online and chatting — but while my system
was down, I just about went
nuts! I ended up spending
hours at a local coffee house
just to keep in touch with
my online friends. I was
anxious and irritable until I
got my power back. Am I in
trouble? — L.W.
Dear L.W.: You may
be heading for trouble, but
at least you have the sensitivity and courage to know
where you stand and face
the music. If you have gradually slipped into depending a great deal on your
interactions with online
friends, it is not necessarily
a bad thing, nor is it something you need to think of as
an addition at this time. Just
knowing that there could be
a potential problem will be
helpful to you if you want
to try to moderate your
computer use. The worst
approach would be to remain in denial until the next
power outage, which may
find you even more crazed
than this time around.
There is nothing like losing your fix to point up a
dependency problem. Try
keeping track of the time
you spend online, and then
set some goals for cutting
down as you go along. Because your time is spent socially interacting, you may
need to plan some activities
that take you out of your

home and your comfort
zone and put you in contact
with real people. Reaching out and getting to know
others face-to-face is sometimes scary, but it seems as
though you could use this
kind of balance in your
life. A gradual withdrawal
to reasonable levels might

By Dr. Joyce Brothers

be better than trying to quit
your Internet activities cold
turkey. Good luck!

Dear Dr. Brothers: I
am dreading the upcoming
presidential election year.
My boyfriend, who was
perfectly normal when I met

Every time I try to get him
interested in our social life,
he has some political event
to attend. I couldn’t care
less about this stuff, and
he knows it, but he keeps
talking politics and ignoring our relationship. I don’t
think I can take this for another year! — M.R.
Dear M.R.: It could be

worse — you could be a
golf widow facing the madness every weekend, yearround. Lucky for you, the
presidential election season
comes around only every
four years! This is one case
where it would have been
helpful to the relationship
to hook up with someone
who shares your values
and/or interests. I’m sure
there are many important
factors that brought you
two together, but you just
may have to suffer through
some isolated feelings if
you can’t bring yourself to
get interested in politics. I
am not suggesting that you
try to squelch your guy’s interest and activities — that
would be much more difficult an undertaking, and he
could just end up resenting
you for trying to manage his
interests.
But since you couldn’t
care less, it may not be
practical for you to get involved beyond the trek to
the booths on voting day.
That still doesn’t mean you
can’t develop your own interests in another area and
keep yourself busy while
the political season is under
way. And it wouldn’t hurt to
at least educate yourself on
some of the main issues that
are exciting to your boyfriend. If your relationship
is a serious one that you
want to succeed in the long
term, I would think that you
would want to do what it
takes to help bring the two
of you closer.

Ohio’s election law foes
fall short on signatures
COLUMBUS,
Ohio
(AP) — Ohio’s top election
official says opponents of
the state’s new election law
do not have the signatures
needed to get a ballot repeal question before voters
next fall, though foes have
another 10 days to submit
more signatures.
Among other changes,
the law shortens the swing
state’s early voting period.
Secretary of State Jon
Husted’s ruling on Monday comes after election
officials reviewed the more
than 333,000 signatures
that opponents submitted
in late September to put the
law on hold.
Opponents,
including
Democrats, needed roughly
231,000 valid signatures
to get a referendum before
voters in 2012, and they
were more than 9,500 shy
of that amount.
Opponents have until
Thanksgiving Day to submit more signatures.
An Ohio Democratic
Party spokesman says they
have collected more than
100,000 additional signatures.

Teen denies raping
child at McDonald’s in
Ohio
CINCINNATI (AP) —
An Ohio court official says
a 13-year-old boy charged

with raping a 5-year-old girl
at a McDonald’s play area
is denying the accusation.
Chief Magistrate Carla
Guenthner of Hamilton
County Juvenile Court says
the boy denied the charge
Saturday at a Cincinnati
hearing. The boy is in juvenile detention awaiting a
Nov. 22 trial.
Sheriff’s
spokesman
Steve Barnett says the alleged assault occurred Oct.
29 at a McDonald’s in the
Cincinnati suburb of Anderson Township. Barnett
says the girl’s grandmother
was nearby in the restaurant
at the time.
The McDonald’s owner
says in a statement that he
was upset to learn of the alleged rape and is cooperating with investigators.
The
boy’s
parents
brought him to authorities
last week after a security
camera photo of the suspect
was released.

FAIRBORN, Ohio (AP) —
The body of a 75-year-old man
was found Sunday after he was
killed in a house explosion in
western Ohio that injured six
others, including four children,
and damaged neighbors’ homes,
authorities said. The explosion
sent debris and the victims into
the yard, and a neighbor reported
seeing a baby burned, bloodied
and covered in glass.Work was
being done on the duplex’s water
line when the gas line was struck,
causing the explosion Saturday,
Fairborn Fire Marshal Carl Day
said.
A 13-year-old was transferred
in critical condition to Shriner’s
Hospital for Children, one of
about four hospitals in the country specializing in pediatric burns,
said spokeswoman Louise Holker.
Two men also were injured. Their
conditions were not given.
The 1-year-old baby was in fair
condition and a 5-year-old was in
good condition Sunday morning, a
spokesman for Dayton Children’s
Medical Center said. A third child,
whose age wasn’t available, was
treated and released Saturday.The
blast was one of three in the Midwest over the weekend. Another in

Benton Township in southwestern
Michigan killed two people late
Saturday and injured four others. Its cause wasn’t immediately
known, but relatives say several
oxygen tanks were inside. And
an explosion in Chicago on Sunday morning flattened one home,
scorched others and sent two
people to the hospital with serious
burns. Fire officials and utilities
were investigating.
A woman who lived about 100
yards from the Ohio home that
exploded, Cybil Poole, told the
Dayton Daily News that the blast
felt like a car hitting it. She said
she saw the infant lying in the yard
and that some of the other victims

were still on fire.
“It was horrible. It was like a
movie scene. You see this huge
fireball and you see people come
out of it on fire,” she said.
Another neighbor, Paula
Corelli, told the newspaper that
she was almost hit by a flying
piece of wood from the explosion.
When she saw two adults running
down the sidewalk carrying three
bloodied children, she offered
to take them while the adults returned to the scene.
“Medics told me to keep them
awake because they had head
injuries, so we sang to them, me
and another woman,” Corelli said.
“And we didn’t let them look

the delay. No new date was
immediately set.
A message has been left
for Woods’ attorney.
Woods is charged with
murdering David Chandler
in Cincinnati last year. Police interviewed Chandler
while he was paralyzed after being shot in the head
and neck. Prosecutors say
Chandler identified Woods’
photo through a series of
eye blinks.
Chandler died about two
weeks later.
The judge ruled earlier
to allow jurors to see the
video. Woods’ attorney argued that the blinks weren’t
conclusive and should not
be allowed in evidence.

COLUMBUS,
Ohio
(AP) — An Ohio court on
Monday denied an appeal
by a man who’s set to be executed for fatally shooting
his three sons while they
slept in 1982, shortly after
his wife filed for divorce.
Reginald Brooks of
East Cleveland appealed a
lower court’s finding that
he was competent for trial
and sought the chance to
seek a new trial. The Eighth
District Court of Appeals
in Cleveland ruled against
Brooks on Monday, and his
attorneys planned to immediately appeal that decision
to the Ohio Supreme Court.
On Tuesday, the 66-yearold Brooks is scheduled
to become the first person
put to death in nearly six
months in Ohio, a state that
often trails only Texas in
the number of inmates put
to death annually. State and
federal courts have upheld
his convictions.
Brooks is appealing to
the U.S. Supreme Court,
and he has other state and
federal appeals pending
regarding his attorneys’ arguments that he’s not mentally competent and that the
government hid relevant
evidence that could have affected his case.
“We’re very disappointed that the state courts
continue to say that this information was something
that the defense has had,”
defense attorney Michael
Benza said.
The defense contends
Brooks is a paranoid
schizophrenic who suffered
from mental illness long before he shot his 11-, 15- and
17-year-old sons in the head

as they slept at their East
Cleveland home on a Saturday morning. The defense
says Brooks believed his
co-workers and wife were
poisoning him and that he
maintains his innocence,
offering conspiracy theories about the killings that
involve police, his relatives
and a look-alike.
Prosecutors
acknowledge Brooks is mentally
ill but dispute the notions
that it caused the murders
or makes him incompetent.
They say he planned merciless killings, bought a
revolver two weeks in advance, confirmed he’d be
home alone with the boys,
targeted them when they
wouldn’t resist and fled on a
bus with a suitcase containing a birth certificate and
personal items that could
help him start a new life.
“It is a travesty that
Reginald Brooks has lived
so long on death row after
cruelly shooting his three
boys to death,” Cuyahoga
County Prosecutor Bill Mason said in a statement after
the Eighth District decision. “Justice demands that
Brooks’ execution go forward tomorrow.”
Prosecutors say Brooks’
insistence that he’s innocent
is a sign that he knows his
rights, not that he’s delusional.
Brooks was found competent for trial, and a threejudge panel convicted him.
Defense attorneys have
argued that prosecutors
withheld information that
would have supported a
mental health defense and
led the court to rule differently. Former Judge Harry

Ohio dad charged in wipe
lodged in baby’s throat
CLEVELAND (AP) — A father who
was charged with felony child endangering when a diaper wipe was found lodged
in his infant son’s throat maintains it was
an accident and will fight the allegation, his
attorney said Monday.
Joshua Rains, 25, of Cleveland, was released on bond following a court hearing
Saturday.
Another court hearing on the evidence
was scheduled for Nov. 22, and his attorney
said Rains would try to show the incident
was unintentional.
“Police believe it might be an accident,”
said his defense attorney, Daniel Margolis.
“And it’s our contention that it was an accident.”
The police report said the 2-month-old
was unresponsive when an ambulance crew
arrived at the family’s home on Nov. 7. The
baby needed to be placed on life support,
but he was listed in good condition Monday
at a hospital.

State urges Ohioans to

The police report said those at the scene
believe “the baby’s injuries are not consistent to the father’s statement.”
The father told police that he cleaned
the baby’s mouth and then the wipe disappeared.
“Once he noticed the child had swallowed the baby wipe, he tried to pull it out,
but only jammed it further down the child’s
throat,” the police report said.
Rains’ other children have been placed
in county custody, Margolis said.
A person who gave a statement to police
at the scene said the infant “was injured
when it was five days and when it was
treated for a detached eye lens, but never
reported to police.” The person’s name and
relationship were deleted from the report
before it was released.
Rains could not be reached for comment. The phone number listed for him in
court documents rang unanswered Monday.

COLUMBUS,

(AP) — Ohio officials say
the freak October snowstorm in the Northeast was
a lesson for Ohioans to start

the time to winterize homes
and vehicles, before the first
big snowfall hits the state.
Gov. John Kasich has
declared this week Ohio’s
Winter Safety Awareness
Week. Officials say homes,

schools, businesses and organizations should review
safety plans and stock disaster supply kits to prepare
for the possibility of snow
and ice storms that can
cause lengthy power outages. Dragani says in a statement that families should

Hanna, one of the three on
the panel, told the Ohio
Parole Board he would not
have voted for the death
penalty if he’d had information from police reports
that were provided to the
defense more recently.
Brooks declined to be
interviewed by the parole
board.
The board recommended that Gov. John Kasich
deny clemency, and he did.
Kasich previously granted
clemency to two death row
inmates and postponed two
other executions as a federal judge weighed objections
to Ohio’s execution policy.
U.S. District Court
Judge Gregory Frost denied
a delay for Brooks last week
and ruled in favor of Ohio’s
execution rules, saying the
state addressed his concerns
about the process.
Beverly Brooks, who
found her sons dead in bed

work, told the parole board
she believes the killings
were an act of revenge for
her divorce filing, not the
result of mental illness, and
she supports the execution.
She is among those scheduled to witness it.

Marijuana as medicine:
Putting public health
and safety first
Marijuana should be subject to the same research,
consideration and study as
any other potential medicine, under the standards of
the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Legalizing marijuana for medical
use should not be decided
by legislative or voter initiative.
Efforts to legalize marijuana as medicine in the
United States have grown
significantly in recent
years. Ap­proximately onefourth of the states have
passed legislation or ballot
issues allowing marijuana
to be prescribed within that
state. However, marijuana
remains a Schedule I substance under federal law —
a classification indicating it
has no currently accepted
medical use in the United
States.
Many people hear of
states legalizing marijuana
as a medicine and assume
this means that medical re-

search supports its medical
benefits. Yet, the controlled
medical studies needed to
confirm any medical benefits have not been conducted; nor is there the level of
research needed to identify
which chemicals are associated with any benefits,
appropriate dosage levels,
and safe means of administration. While there is already a substantial body of
research demonstrating the
health and safety risks from
the use of mari­juana, more
research is needed, not only
on possible medical applications but also on these associated health and impairment risks. Anything less
puts the safety and health of
the general public at risk.
Neither voter nor legislative initiative meets the
scientific standards for approval of medicine. For
example, we would not
consider it rational to go to
the polls to “vote on” a potential antibiotic. Voter and

legislative passage of marijuana-as-medicine
laws
may actually inhibit good
medicine because they
shortcut the necessary step
of researching the marijuana plant and the chemicals
within that may have legitimate medical applications.
Emo­tional testimony and
personal opinion should not
dictate medical treatment.
Drug-Free Action Alliance and the Alcohol
and Drug Abuse Prevention Association of Ohio
(ADAPAO) do not support
marijuana as medicine nor
legislative or ballot initiatives to consider this
policy change. Should future research result in the
FDA changing position
on marijuana as medicine,
ADAPAO and Drug-Free
Action Alli­ance would reconsider this position.
Drug-Free Action Alliance is a statewide, nonprofit substance abuse prevention agency in Ohio.

Chelsea Clinton is
hired by NBC News
NEW YORK (AP) — Chelsea Clinton
began work at NBC News on Monday,
the second daughter of a former president at the network.
NBC said it had hired the 31-year-old
Clinton to work on projects for “NBC
Nightly News” and Brian Williams’
newsmagazine, “Rock Center.” She will
report stories for the feel-good “Making
a Difference” series.
The only child of former President
Bill Clinton and Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton is pursuing a doctorate at Oxford and working for the
Clinton Foundation and Clinton Global
Initiative.
Former President George W. Bush’s
daughter Jenna Bush Hager does stories
for the “Today” show.
NBC said Chelsea Clinton wasn’t
available for an interview, but issued a
statement: “People who imagine and implement solutions to challenges in their

own lives, in their communities, in our
country and in our world have always inspired me.”
Recent “Making a Difference” stories highlighted a 7-year-old boy raising
money for a friend with cancer by racing go-karts, a marathon runner raising
money for his mother who suffers from
Parkinson’s disease and rock star Bon
Jovi opening a restaurant where people
who cannot pay for meals can do volunteer work to earn food.
Besides Clinton and Hager, NBC
News also has just hired Meghan McCain, author of “Dirty Sexy Politics”
and daughter of 2008 GOP presidential
candidate John McCain. She will be an
analyst for MSNBC.

How to fix distrust in government
The latest New York Times/CBS News
poll had bad news for Congress, whose support is down to single digits. But it had even
worse news for the Republic. Americans’
distrust of government, the pollsters found,
is “at its highest level ever.”
A lot of this ire is focused on Congress,
which an overwhelming majority believe is
incapable of acting on behalf of the nation
as a whole, but it has come to take in all
of Washington. The poll’s findings can be
summed up in the words of one respondent,
a small-businesswoman from Arizona.
“Probably the government in Washington
could be trusted at one time,” she told the
Times, “but now it seems like it’s all a game
of who wins rather than what’s best for the
people.”
When so many Americans believe that
their representatives in Washington do not
have their best interests in mind, something is desperately off-kilter. It means that
Americans feel betrayed by how the political class operates.
So the question becomes what can be
done to restore the people’s trust in government. May I suggest it involves more than
changing policies. It means paying attention to the values that people would like to
see embodied in government.
It is a fact of life that American voters respond to likability — a sense of connection
— in their candidates. But that’s not how
they judge politicians once they’re in office. Instead, they really do care about how
elected officials govern.
To start, they want fairness from Washington. Whatever you think of the Tea Party
or Occupy Wall Street, both have touched
a nerve, a sense that our political leaders
have not just grown distant from the concerns of ordinary Americans, but actively
discriminate against them in one way or
another. I’ve always been impressed by the
importance Americans place on fairness;
they strive to be fair to those around them,
and they expect government to do the same.
They also want government to be open.
This is not a blanket pronouncement —
where national security and defense are
concerned, or where congressional negotiators need space to find common ground
without being forced to posture for the
cameras, there is a place for secrecy. But
transparency ought to be the rule. Secrecy
feeds suspicion and distrust of government.
Politicians must be sensitive to this.
Speaking to audiences around the country, I’ve also been struck by the deep thirst
for accountability in Washington. It is very

By Lee H. Hamilton

hard to determine who’s responsible for
any given situation in the federal government — so many people have their hands
on promoting or blocking a given initiative,
it can seem that the entire political system is
designed to shrug off responsibility.
When the economy is floundering,
Americans are desperate for work, and
Washington seems incapable of coming to
grips with the nation’s needs, this is a huge
problem. It is hard to respect institutions
whose leaders refuse a forthright accounting of, or deny responsibility for, their failures.
Americans do not expect miracles or understate the difficulties of governing. They
do not expect a single person to right the
ship of state. Quite the contrary. They want
a collective effort, a sense that people in
government, regardless of party, are rolling
up their sleeves and working together to resolve their differences.
Americans have some tolerance for disagreement, but not to the point of gridlock
— in the end, they prefer cooperation, not
confrontation. And they abhor the sort of
brinksmanship that has become a Washington specialty, with its last-minute negotiations and short-term fixes. We have serious
long-term problems, and Americans want
to see their elected officials working on
them. They want remedies, not filibusters
and scorched-earth politicking.
Finally, they want honesty. Americans
really do want to know the scope of the
problems they confront and to make up
their own minds about them. They resent
politicians who paper over the difficulties
of the problems or toss off inadequate solutions to really tough problems. There is, in
the country at large, a thirst for basic facts,
not spin. The people can handle the truth,
and they deserve no less.
Rebuilding trust in American government will require more than changes in
rules or policy. It will rest on the manner
in which our elected officials conduct the
business of government, and their willingness to embrace fairness, openness, accountability, cooperation, competence and
honesty.
Lack of trust in government is a far more
serious problem than most politicians believe, one that cannot be resolved easily.
The solution can only come from a patient,
long-term effort to return to our fundamental values and instincts.

on Congress at Indiana University. He was

meeting.
“Given her vast experiences, it’s as
though Chelsea has been preparing for
this opportunity her entire adult life,”
Capus said in a statement Monday.
Star power can be attractive to a news
network, although it has pitfalls. ABC

Supreme Court will hear health care case this term
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court said Monday it will hear
arguments next March over President
Barack Obama’s health care overhaul
— a case that could shake the political landscape as voters are deciding if
Obama deserves another term.
This decision to hear arguments
in the spring sets up an election-year
showdown over the White House’s main
domestic policy achievement. And it allows plenty of time for a decision in late
June, just over four months before Election Day.
The justices announced they will
hear an extraordinary five-and-a-half
hours of arguments from lawyers on the
constitutionality of a provision at the
heart of the law and three other related
questions about the act. The central provision in question is the requirement that
individuals buy health insurance starting
in 2014 or pay a penalty.
In the modern era, the last time the
court allotted anywhere near this much
time for arguments was in 2003 for
consideration of the McCain-Feingold
campaign finance reform. That case
consumed four hours of argument. This
argument may spread over two days, as
the justices rarely hear more than two or
three hours a day.
The 2010 health care overhaul law
aims to extend insurance coverage
to more than 30 million Americans,
through an expansion of Medicaid, the
requirement that individuals buy health
insurance starting in 2014 or pay a penalty and other measures. The court’s ruling could decide the law’s fate, but the
justices left themselves an opening to
defer a decision if they choose, by requesting arguments on one lower court’s
ruling that a decision must wait until
2015, when one of the law’s many deferred provisions takes effect.
A White House spokesman said, “We
are pleased that the court has agreed to
hear this case.”
“We know the Affordable Care Act
is constitutional and are confident the
Supreme Court will agree,” communications direct Dan Pfeiffer said in a
statement.
Senate Republican Leader Mitch
McConnell of Kentucky called the law
an “unprecedented and unconstitutional
expansion of the federal government
into the daily lives of every American.”
“In both public surveys and at the
ballot box, Americans have rejected
the law’s mandate that they must buy
government-approved health insurance,
and I hope the Supreme Court will do
the same,” McConnell said.
Republicans have called the Patient
Protection and Affordable Care Act
unconstitutional since before Obama
signed it into law in March 2010. But
only one of the four federal appeals
courts that have considered the health

care overhaul has struck down even a
part of the law.
The federal appeals court in Atlanta
said Congress exceeded its power under the Constitution when it adopted the
mandate. The federal appeals court in
Cincinnati upheld the entire law, as did
appellate judges in Washington, DC, in
recent days.
The case could become the high
court’s most significant and political
ruling since its 5-4 decision in the Bush
v. Gore case nearly 11 years ago effectively sealed George W. Bush’s 2000
presidential election victory.
In addition to deciding whether the
law’s central mandate is constitutional,
the justices will also determine whether
the rest of the law can take effect even
if that central mandate is held unconstitutional. The law’s opponents say the
whole thing should fall if the individual
mandate falls.
The administration counters that
most of the law still could function,
but says that requirements that insurers
cover anyone and not set higher rates
for people with pre-existing conditions
are inextricably linked with the mandate
and shouldn’t remain in place without it.
The court also will look at the expansion of the joint federal-state Medicaid program that provides health care
to poorer Americans, even though no
lower court called that provision into
question. Florida and the 25 other states
say the law goes too far in coercing
them into participating by threatening a
cutoff of federal money. The states contend that the vast expansion of the joint
federal-state Medicaid program and the
requirement that employers offer health
insurance violate the Constitution. No
appeals court has agreed.
“The court recognized the seriousness of these vitally important constitutional challenges by allocating an
extraordinary amount of time for oral
argument,” Florida Attorney General
Pam Bondi said.
Lastly, the justices will consider
whether arguments over the law’s validity are premature because a federal law
generally prohibits challenges to taxes
until the taxes are paid. The federal appeals court in Richmond, Va., ruled earlier this year reasoned that the penalty
for not purchasing insurance will not be
paid before federal income tax returns
are due in April 2015, therefore it was
too early for a court to make a ruling on
the law.
The administration agreed to seek
prompt Supreme Court review of the
health care overhaul, though it had options for trying to delay the court’s
consideration of the law until after the
election. The Justice Department passed
up the chance to ask the appeals court
in Atlanta to reconsider its decision. It
is common for the Justice Department
to seek review by the full appeals court

when a three-judge panel rules against
the government.
Early on, at the district court level,
rulings followed political affiliation.
Judges appointed by Democratic presidents upheld the law, while Republican
appointees struck it down.
But party lines blurred at three federal appeals courts. In Atlanta, Judge
Frank Hull, a Clinton appointee, joined
with a Republican colleague in striking
down the mandate. In Cincinnati, Judge
Jeffrey Sutton, a Bush appointee, was
the deciding vote in upholding the law.
And in the District of Columbia, Senior
Judge Laurence Silberman, named to the
bench by President Ronald Reagan, and
Senior Judge Harry Edwards, a Carter
appointee, voted together to uphold the
law.
Legal experts have offered a range
of opinions about what the high court
might do. Many prominent Supreme
Court lawyers believe that the law will
be upheld by a lopsided vote, with Republican and Democratic appointees
ruling in its favor. Still others predict
a close outcome, with Justice Anthony
Kennedy, a Republican who sometimes
joins his four Democratic colleagues,
holding the deciding vote.
Six separate appeals have been filed
with the high court. Three come from the
Atlanta court, where the administration,
the states and the National Federation
of Independent Business appealed different aspects of the court ruling. From
Richmond, Liberty University and Virginia appealed decisions turning back
their challenges to the law. The Thomas
More Law Center of Ann Arbor, Mich.,
appealed a ruling by the Cincinnatibased court upholding the law.
Ultimately, the court chose the Atlanta court’s ruling as the primary case
to review. That decision means that the
highly regarded former Bush administration solicitor general, Paul Clement,
is likely to argue on behalf of the challengers. The current Solicitor General,
Donald Verrilli Jr., is expected to defend
the law before the justices.
Two justices, conservative Clarence
Thomas and liberal Elena Kagan, who
had been asked by advocacy groups to
withdraw from the case, are going to
take part in it. The court’s practice is for
justices who are staying out of a case to
say so when the case is accepted and no
one has announced a recusal. Thomas’s
wife, Virginia, has worked for a group
that has advocated against the health
care overhaul, and Kagan served as solicitor general in the Obama administration when the law was being formulated.

US-Russian crew
blasts off for space
station
MOSCOW (AP) — A Russian
spacecraft carrying an American
and two Russians blasted off Monday from the snow-covered Kazakh
steppes in a faultless launch that
eased anxiety about the future of
U.S. and Russian space programs.
The Soyuz TMA-22 lifted off as
scheduled at 8:14 a.m. (0414 GMT)
from the Russian-leased Baikonur
cosmodrome to carry NASA astronaut Dan Burbank and Russians
Anton Shkaplerov and Anatoly
Ivanishin on a mission to the International Space Station.
The launch had been delayed
for two months due to the crash of
an unmannned Progress cargo ship
in August. The failed launch raised
doubts about future missions to
the station, because the rocket that
crashed used the same upper stage
as the booster rockets carrying
Soyuz ships to orbit.
NASA had warned that the
space outpost would need to be
abandoned temporarily for the first
time in nearly 11 years if a new crew
could not be launched before the last
of the station’s six residents flew
back to Earth in mid-November.
Russian space officials tracked
down the Progress launch failure to
an “accidental” manufacturing flaw
and recalled all Soyuz rockets from
space launch pads for a thorough
examination. The successful launch
of a Progress ship last month cleared
the way for the crew to be sent off.
The crew said they trusted the
Soyuz, a workhorse of the Soviet
and then Russian space program for
more than 40 years. “We have no
black thoughts and full confidence
in our technology,” Shkaplerov told
journalists before the launch.
The new crew are to arrive just
in time to keep the orbiting station
manned. The three crew members
currently on board the station are
set to return to Earth on Nov. 21.
Another launch next month is to
take the station back to its normal
six-person crew mode.
The 39-year-old Shkaplerov
and 42-year-old Ivanishin are making their first flights into space.
Burbank, 50, who will take over
command of the space station, is a
veteran of 12-day shuttle missions
in 2000 and 2006. The three men
are to remain aboard the space station until March.
Russian Space Agency head
Vladimir Popovkin said the agency

was actively recruiting women to
become cosmonauts. Only one
woman is now in training and Popovkin told journalists at Baikonur
that he was determined to send her
into orbit, Russian news agencies
reported.
Even in the case of an engine
failure like the one that led to the
Progress crash in August, a Soyuz
crew would be rescued by an
emergency escape system. But any
further launch trouble would have
prompted NASA to rethink the
space station program, which now
relies exclusively on Russian spacecraft after the retirement of the U.S.
space shuttle fleet in July.
The Progress crash was one in a
string of spectacular launch failures
that raised concerns about the state
of Russia’s space industries. Last
December, Russia lost three navigation satellites when a rocket carrying
them failed to reach orbit. A military
satellite was lost in February, and
the launch of the Express-AM4, described by officials as Russia’s most
powerful telecommunications satellite, went awry in August.
In the latest failure, an unmanned probe intended to collect
ground samples on Phobos, a moon
of Mars, in the most ambitious Russian interplanetary mission since the
Soviet era, suffered an equipment
failure shortly after Wednesday’s
launch and got stuck in Earth orbit.
Efforts to contact the craft have
been unsuccessful, but Popovkin
said there was still time to prevent it
from crashing down.
“The prognosis shows that it
will fly through January, and we
have until the first days of December (to establish control) so it can
fulfill its intended function,” the
RIA Novosti news agency quoted
the space chief as saying.
Popovkin said engineers were
making the necessary adjustments
to contact the probe as it flies about
200 kilometers (120 miles) above
the Earth. “Therefore I can say that
there is still a chance,” he was quoted as saying.
Russian space officials have
blamed the botched launches on
obsolete equipment and an aging
workforce. The space agency said
it will establish its own quality inspection teams at rocket factories
to tighten oversight over production
quality.

Fast start pushes
Ohio past UT-Martin
74-65

ATHENS, Ohio (AP)
D.J. Cooper scored 12
points and dished 10 assists
as Ohio beat UT-Martin 7465 on Sunday in the season
opener for both teams.
Cooper, who was Ohio’s
leading scorer last season,
was one of three Bobcats to
score in double digits. Walter Offutt scored 17 points
and Reggie Keely added 16
from the bench.
Ohio opened the game
on a 30-13 run. During that
span, Cooper tallied three
points and five assists. Cooper’s fast break layup at the
end of the first half gave
Ohio a 40-21 lead going into
the break.
UT-Martin fought back
in the second half behind
the scoring of Jeremy Washington and Taylor Miles.
Washington scored 12 of his
15 points in the second half,
and Miles’ 11 points came
during the same period.
But Ohio’s defensive
pressure proved too much,
as the Bobcats forced UTMartin to commit 23 turnovers, 15 in the first half.

Marshall gets

Jacksonville
State

HUNTINGTON, W.Va.
(AP) — Robert Goff scored
12 points and Damier Pitts
11 as Marshall pulled away
from Jacksonville State in
the second half for a 58-44
nonconference victory Sunday.
Goff scored eight points
in the second half, including
a dunk with 16:01 remaining that put the Thundering
Herd (2-0) ahead for good,
24-22.
“I’m thrilled with the
win,” Marshall head coach
Tom Herrion said. “I hope
people start listening to
me when I say we’re not
that good yet. Things don’t
need to come easy with this
group. A little adversity is a
good thing.”
Another Goff dunk and
two 3-pointers by Dago
Pena helped build the lead
to 32-26, and Marshall used
a 9-0 run over a 4:35 span to
open a 45-30 lead over the
Gamecocks (1-1).
Marshall picked up its
shooting after leading 21-20
at halftime. The Herd shot
52.2 percent (12 of 23) after
halftime after making 30.8
percent (8 of 26) in the first.
Jacksonville State, which
got 12 points from Tarvin
Gaines, went in the other
direction, making 26.5 percent (9 of 34) in the second
half, down from 38.1 percent (8 of 21) in the first.
Marshall will host Northwestern State at 7 p.m. Saturday.

Big Ten takes
Paterno name
off trophy

PARK RIDGE, Ill. (AP)
The Big Ten has taken Joe Paterno’s name off the Big Ten’s
football championship trophy.
League commissioner Jim
Delany said Monday that it is
“inappropriate” to keep Paterno’s name on the trophy that
will be awarded Dec. 3 after
the first Big Ten title game.
Penn State fired Paterno, its
longtime head coach, last week
and investigations are under
way into allegations of child
sex-abuse involving a former
assistant for the Nittany Lions.
The trophy had been named
the Stagg-Paterno Championship Trophy. Amos Alonzo
Stagg won 319 games in 57
years, most at the University
of Chicago. Paterno’s 409 wins
are the most by a major college
coach.
The trophy will now be
called the Stagg Championship
Trophy.

Wahama battles back
to beat Warriors, 31-20

Players reject
NBA’s offer, begin
to disband union

NEW YORK (AP) — NBA
players rejected the league’s latest
offer Monday and began disbanding the union, likely jeopardizing the
season.
“We’re prepared to file this antitrust action against the NBA,” union
executive director Billy Hunter said.
“That’s the best situation where players can get their due process.”
He said players were not prepared to accept the NBA Commissioner David Stern’s ultimatum, saying they thought it was “extremely
unfair.”
Stern had urged players to take
the deal on the table, saying it’s the
best the NBA can offer and warned
that decertification is not a winning
strategy.
“This is the best decision for the
players,” union president Derek Fisher said. “I want to reiterate that point,
that a lot of individual players have
a lot of things personally at stake in
terms of their careers and where they
stand. And right now they feel it’s important — we all feel it’s important to
all our players, not just the ones in this
room, but our entire group — that we
not only try to get a deal done for today but for the body of NBA players

Tuesday’s TV Guide

Kahne beats Edwards and Stewart to win at Phoenix
AVONDALE, Ariz. (AP)
While Carl Edwards and Tony
Stewart have gone round-forround in their race for the Sprint
Cup title, Kasey Kahne has quietly turned his performance up a
notch outside of the championship
spotlight.
Kahne’s performance the last
nine weeks has trailed only the
two title contenders, and on Sunday, he finally got a win to show
for his efforts.
Kahne snapped an 81-race
winless streak with his victory at
Phoenix International Raceway,
where Edwards and Stewart finished second and third to keep the
title race tight headed into next
weekend’s season finale.
“If I’m in a racecar, I want to
do the best that I can,” Kahne said,
crediting crew chief Kenny Francis for giving him strong Toyotas
that have allowed him “to perform
with and run with Carl and Tony,
who have been probably the two
best.”
They’ve been the only two
drivers better than Kahne, and one
of them will officially unseat fivetime defending NASCAR champion Jimmie Johnson next Sunday
at Homestead.
Edwards will take a three-point
lead over Stewart into the 36th
and final race of the season, marking the closest championship battle since the Chase for the Sprint
Cup championship format made
its debut in 2004.
The two were nearly giddy discussing the title race as they sat

side-by-side in the post-race news
conference.
“As far as I’m concerned, it’s
a dead heat going in there,” said
Stewart. “I want to go to Homestead tomorrow and start. I want
tomorrow to be Friday. I’m
pumped up, I’m excited about it
and ready to go.”
So was Edwards.
“This is going to be a battle.
I truly believe it’s going to be a
good race,” Edwards said. “That
place is magical for us. I really
enjoy going there. I hope it comes
down to the fastest guy winning
the race.”
Stewart, winner of four Chase
races this season, dominated Sunday at Phoenix and led 160 of the
312 laps. But he had to pit for gas
with 18 laps remaining, and was
forced to work his way back to the
front. He needed a late pass of Jeff
Burton to finish third, right behind
Edwards.
“I wasn’t going to give him the
spot. He earned it and he got it,”
Burton said.
It was a critical pass, as it
picked up another point for Stewart and kept his deficit at three
points.
“We had an awesome day. We
came up two spots shy. I don’t
know how you could have asked
for a better day,” he said. “We
led the most laps, we were on the
same pace we were last week, just
to have a perfect day. Just fought
as hard as we could all day.”
Edwards did, too, despite having to chase Stewart most of the

race. He’s not faltered once with
the two-time champion bearing down on him, and he’ll go
to Homestead with his first Cup
championship in reach.
Edwards is a two-time Homestead winner and drives for Roush
Fenway Racing, which has won
seven of the last nine races at
Homestead. Stewart, trying to become the first owner/driver since
Alan Kulwicki in 1992 to win the
championship, won the first two
Cup races at Homestead in 1999
and 2000.
“It’s the best points battle I’ve
been a part of at this level, so it’s
fun for me,” Edwards said. “I still
don’t understand why we’re both
running so good. It’s pretty neat.
Seems like subconsciously we’re
both able to dig down and our
teams are able to give us what we
need and everybody has been performing at a high level.
“It’s been neat that this battle
has brought out the best in us.”
Sunday officially marked the
end of Johnson’s reign: He finished 14th and was mathematically eliminated from title contention.
“It’s been one hell of a run,” he
posted on Twitter shortly after the
race.
Kahne, meanwhile, won for the
first time since Atlanta in 2009,
and it comes in his next-to-last
race with Red Bull Racing. He’s
moving to Hendrick Motorsports
next season, and Red Bull is pulling out of NASCAR.
His win was only the second

for Red Bull, which came into
NASCAR in 2007 amid much
fanfare but never delivered.
Kahne, who won in a brand
new car, said it’s a shame Red
Bull is leaving.
“I wouldn’t say there’s anyone out there that’s building better cars at this time. The Red Bull
guys are doing an awesome job
and they haven’t given up,” he
said. “It’s tough to hear it’s shutting down in eight days. Over the
last three months, you have one
of the top five cars in NASCAR
shutting down and that’s crazy.”
Burton finished fourth and was
followed by Ryan Newman.
AJ Allmendinger was sixth,
and David Reutimann, told two
weeks ago he was losing his job
at Michael Waltrip Racing, was
seventh.
Marcos Ambrose finished
eighth and was followed by Paul
Menard and Clint Bowyer.
Kyle Busch, racing again after
NASCAR parked him at Texas last
weekend for intentionally wrecking Ron Hornaday Jr., worked his
way up to third before his engine
failed. He finished 36th.
“It’s just devastating,” Busch
said. “To go through turmoil like
this, all you can do is group together and pull through it and try
to persevere and move on.”
Busch, who started the Chase
tied with Kevin Harvick as the
top seed, will almost certainly finish 12th in the final standings and
won’t be included in the seasonending awards ceremony held in

his hometown, Las Vegas.
His older brother, Kurt, didn’t
fare any better at Phoenix. He
ran out of gas while leading, was
flagged for speeding on pit road
during his stop to get fuel, and
wound up 22nd.
“What an unbelievable turn
of events,” Kurt Busch said. “We
worked our butts off all race trying to get track position and just
couldn’t cash our ticket in late in
the race.”
The race was also marked by
another incident between Brian
Vickers and Matt Kenseth, who
tangled two races ago at Martinsville. Kenseth was wrecked when
Vickers ran into the back of him,
an act Kenseth called deliberate.
He also wondered why NASCAR
didn’t punish Vickers the way
Kyle Busch was at Texas.
“You have someone that has
been telling everybody for four or
five weeks that as soon as he got a
chance at a fast race track he was
going to make it hurt and wipe
us out and they (NASCAR) do
nothing about it,” Kenseth said.
“It was so premeditated it just
surprises me that they didn’t do
anything. I am disappointed but I
expected it.”
Vickers denied it was intentional.
“If he wants to doubt us, that’s
fine,” Vickers said. “He wrecked
me at Martinsville, he got wrecked
here, but it actually wasn’t (payback). I’m not saying I wasn’t going to pay him back, but I’m just
saying that wasn’t it.”

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Tuesday,
Nov. 15, 2011:
You express the intuitive and wise
side of your personality. Others cannot
help but be drawn to you. You seem
to understand so much, that others
reveal a lot to you. You might not
always be comfortable with the revelations. Travel, education and/or a foreigner could play a major role in your
year. If you are single, you will need
someone quite unique to keep your
interest. You will know when this person comes along. If you are attached,
any fighting you experience is about
separation. Refuse to play into arguments. Remember, you are with the
one you love. CANCER understands
your depth.
The Stars Show the Kind of Day
You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive;
3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
HHHH Your high energy, spontaneity and creativity braid together to
create a close to impossible combination to beat. Someone around you
might feel awkward. Understand where
this person is coming from. An admirer
is the source of a compliment. Tonight:
Fun.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
HHH Anchor in, knowing your limits and where you are heading. Realize
everything could change quickly. Be
more forthright with a roommate or
family member. You might see a situation in a new light once a conversation
starts up. Tonight: Head home.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
HHHHH Communication comes
your way. Express yourself in a clear
manner. You might feel awkward
about a discussion involving money
and/or feelings. You have a way of
handling yourself that makes others
quite insecure. Understanding will
evolve. Tonight: Make it early.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
HHHH Let your imagination flourish. Use care with your finances and
domestic matters. Your creativity flourishes, and you recover from any stumbling blocks very well. Don’t back off
from a conversation. Know that there
is a point of resolution. Tonight: Know
when to call it a night.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
HHH You sense a change coming, but perhaps not right away. You
have a way of affecting others that you
might not be aware of. Listen to what
is being shared by a family member.
Don’t choose to take his or her comments personally. Instead, learn from

them. Tonight: Say what you think.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
HHH Lie back and gain a better
insight into what is really going on. The
less said the better. You gather new
information. The unexpected occurs.

not, you don’t share your feelings.
Tonight: Lie back.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
HHHHH Meetings and friends
gather around you. You feel as if you
are on top of the world, as success
comes toward you after an awkward
moment or two. Don’t lose sight of
your goals. You feel that there are
many options, but don’t take someone
for granted. Tonight: Where the gang
is.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
HHHH You are in the limelight
more than you might be comfortable
with. You could feel out of sorts. Read
between the lines with others. What
isn’t said might be more important than
what is said. Don’t sell yourself short.
Tonight: Could go way late.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
HHHHH Keep reaching out for
others. You tend to make the impossible happen. A partner prefers to deal
with you directly. Listen to this person
carefully. This dialogue has many
gems of possibilities. Let others follow
through on what you think is possible.
Tonight: Go along with another’s ideas.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
HHH Let someone else take the
lead. This person needs to know
whether he or she is capable of handling a situation. You must let go in
order to allow this person to find out. A
get-together proves to be most worthwhile. Say little; listen a lot. Tonight:
Say “yes” to an invitation.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
HHH Listen to what others say
more often. Pace yourself and get the
job done. You feel more relaxed with
a certain associate. Take the lead with
a work project for now, knowing it isn’t
forever. Keep an even pace. Tonight:
Put your feet up.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
HHH Your creativity flows, and
you come up with one solution after
another. Allow your ingenuity to speak
once and for all. If you follow your
emotional sixth sense, you’ll wind up
A-OK. Later on, you will need to get
into some more serious work. Tonight:
Ever playful.

final 24 minutes.
A number of determined
White Falcon defensive
players stood out in the postseason victory with Jamin
Branch, J.R. Jewell, Zack
Wamsley, Matthew Stewart, Zack Killingsworth,
Anthony Grimm, Jousha
Haddox and Joey Kimes all
coming up with huge stops
throughout the contest.
While the WHS defense
was taking care of its business the White Falcon offense shocked the Warriors
with its big play capabilities.

of 68 and 26 yards while
Isaac Lee caught a 19 yard
scoring pass from Trenton
Gibbs before running 22
yards for another six points.
Gibbs also connected with
Kane Roush on a 30 yard
touchdown strike for his
second TD toss of the
evening.
The respect Pocahontas
County had for the White
Falcons special teams also
played an important role in
the post-season outcome
with the Warriors reluctant
to kick the ball to WHS
return specialists Isaac Lee
and Kane Roush. Pocahontas County punter Devin
Rose shanked several short
punts off the side of his foot
trying to kick the ball out of
bounds and not give Lee or
Roush an opportunity for a

return and as a result Wahama was afforded excellent
field position throughout the
night.
In addition to Grimm’s huge
offense night the Bend Area
team received outstanding
offensive performances
from Isaac Lee, Kane Roush
and Trenton Gibbs. Lee
scored a pair of touchdowns
with a 22 yard run and a 19
yard TD pass from Gibbs
while Roush hauled in a
nifty 30 yard touchdown
reception from Gibbs.
The locals offensive line
consisting of Branch, Colton
McKinney, Tyler Nutter,
Wesley Harrison, Jonathan
Hoffman, Zack Killingsworth and Jeremy Cundiff
were instrumental in achieving the grid victory despite
facing overwhelming odds.

Pocahontas County took
the opening kickoff and
behind a steady diet of Doss
marched 67 yards in 15
plays into the end zone. The
Warriors converted three
third down situations and
one fourth down play in the
series before Doss put the
visitors in front with a three
yard burst into the middle.
German foreign exchange
student Georg Fuerber
booted the point after to
give Pocahontas County a
7-0 edge with 4:42 to play
in the opening quarter.
Wahama wasted little time
in answering the Warrior
score as Anthony Grimm
busted through the center of
the line and raced 68 yards
untouched for the Falcons
opening score. A bad snap
on the point after attempt
resulted in an unsuccessful
pass attempt with Pocahontas County maintaining the
lead by a 7-6 margin with
4::26 to play in the first
period..
The visitors took the
ensuing kickoff and again
marched down the field like
a well oiled machine. Again
Doss got the majority of
the work with Pocahontas
County adding to its lead
when Doss rambled in from
three yards out to cap a 70
yard eight play drive. Fuerber booted the point after to
stake the Warriors to a 14-6
advantage with :28 remaining in the first canto.
Wahama scored a pair of
touchdowns in the second
stanza to gain the edge it
would never relinquish.
Isaac Lee hauled in a 19
yard pass from Trenton
Gibbs for the Bend Area
teams’ first touchdown
with 6:41 to play in the half
but again the point after
pass failed. Late in the half
Wahama drove 53 yards in
only four plays with Grimm
capping the series with a 26
yard run with :12 remaining
. Another unsuccessful point
after attempt followed and
Wahama led by four at 1814 after two quarters.
In the third canto a 41 yard
punt by Lee put Pocahontas
County back at its own three
yard line and three running
plays netted the Warriors
just two yards. A short
16 yard punt gave WHS

excellent field position at
the Pocahontas County 21.
A 14 yard run by Grimm
was followed by a 15 yard
penalty against the locals
before Lee added to the
Bend Area teams lead with
a 22 yard run around the left
side. Zack Wamsley booted
the extra point and WHS
experienced some breathing
room with a 25-14 advantage with 2:14 to play in the
third quarter.
A 30 yard Kane Roush punt
return set up the Falcons
final touchdown early in
the final period. WHS was
facing a fourth and four
situation at the Pocahontas
County 30 yard line and
to the surprise of everyone
Gibbs connected with a
streaking Kane Roush who
had got behind the Warrior
secondary over the middle
for a 30 yard touchdown
strike. The point after kick
sailed wide and with 10:41
left in the game Wahama led
by a 31-14 score.
The Falcon defense held
the Warriors in check
throughout most of the final
12 minutes before Pocahontas County tacked on
a late score in the game’s
final minute. Again it was
Doss who carried it in from
a yard away for his third
touchdown of the night with
:25 remaining. The PAT
pass fell incomplete with
Wahama claiming the hard
fought 31-20 triumph.
Grimm finished the outing with 176 yards on the
ground to give the senior
running back his second
consecutive 1000 yard
season. Isaac Lee added 51
yards in seven carries while
Kane Roush picked up 42
yards in seven attempts for
the White Falcons.
Trenton Gibbs also topped
the 1000 yard plateau in
passing yards for the second
straight year after completing three of seven passes for
52 yards and two touchdowns. Lee had two catches
for 22 yards and a score
with Kane Roush hauling in
one reception for 30 yards
and a TD.
Doss paced Pocahontas
County offensively with
104 yards in 34 carries with
quarterback Skylar Knisely
connecting on seven of 11

Steelers
From Page A1

Hall, the Bengals’ top
cornerback, hurt his left
Achilles tendon on that
drive and didn’t return. He
was on crutches after the
game and went for tests that
indicated he had torn the
tendon, which will likely
land him on a season-ending
injury list.
Dalton pulled the Bengals even with a 1-yard
touchdown pass to Gresham
on their opening drive of the
second half. Pittsburgh went
no-huddle and pulled off the
winning drive, covering 81
yards in 11 plays.
Notes: Pittsburgh has
won eight of its last nine in
Cincinnati. … Roethlisberger is 7-1 in his career in Cincinnati. … Mike Tomlin got
his 50th regular-season victory, joining former Steelers coaches Chuck Noll,
Bill Cowher and Raymond
“Buddy” Parker in that category. … Dalton has thrown
for 1,866 yards, passing
Greg Cook for the franchise
record by a rookie. … Bengals coach Marvin Lewis
said Hall would be evaluated further to determine the
extent of his Achilles injury.
