A spokesperson for Roane County Magistrate Russell W. Goodwin said on Tuesday, a motion was filed on behalf of Anthony by his attorney, Michael Shaw, to waive the preliminary hearing. The spokesperson said a decision to either grant or deny that motion had not been made as of Tuesday afternoon and that Goodwin wished to consult with Mason County Prosecuting Attorney Damon Morgan before rendering a decision. Goodwin was appointed as special magistrate to the case by Circuit Judge David Nibert after Mason County Magistrates Gail Roush and Cheryl Miller-Ross asked to be recused as a matter of protocol. As previously reported, Anthony has been charged with felony wanton endangerment after allegedly discharging a firearm near a 13-year old relative while intoxicated. After being asked by the Mason County Commission to investigate the incident, the West Virginia State Police arrested Anthony on Thursday night in Putnam County. He was also served with a domestic violence protection order. Anthony then appeared before a Putnam County Magistrate where his bond was set at $20,000 — he later posted it and was released on Friday. According to the Roane County Magistrate’s Office, a condition of Anthony’s bond is he go to rehab or seek inpatient counseling. Post Commander Sgt. EB Starcher has said his agency was asked by the Mason County Commission and Mason County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office to investigate more than one incident regarding Anthony, though nothing further has been disclosed about this other investigation. Witnesses to the incident with the firearm told another news media outlet the firearm wasn’t discharged near the juvenile and has been blown out of proportion. However, investigators feel there was enough evidence to serve Anthony with a felony warrant on the matter. If Goodwin approves the motion and if a prosecutor decides to move forward, both sides will likely have their day in court when facing a grand jury who will ultimately decide whether to indictment Anthony, who remains sheriff, or not. Obituaries WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 2011 www.mydailysentinel.com Pomeroy Council hears of Monkey Run problems By Charlene Hoeflich choeflich@heartlandpublications.com POMEROY — The proposed sewer problems in the Monkey Run area and the resulting floods and slips were again discussed at Monday night’s meeting of Pomeroy Village Council. Sherman Mills and Sherman Hoschar met with Council with both telling a story of property damage. Hoschar reminded Council that his garage has been flooded about a dozen times resulting in loss of property, and Mills was there specifically to talk about a slip which has the potential to create major damage in the area where he lives. He also cited a sewer hole which he described as a potential hazard for children in the area. Mills said the slip is not new new and charged that the village has been aware of it for eight years and hasn’t taken any action to remedy the problem. He charged at when it first started it would have been an “easy fix” while now it major problem. He also reported that it has slipped another 30 feet in the last three weeks. He talked about exposed water and natural gas lines, and a power pole which is threatened. He described the problems in Monkey Run as “total frustration of everyone.” and contended that it threatens to damage the entire community. Paul Hellman, village administrator, described what the village can do now “as a costly temporary fix” whereas the sewer replacement work in that area which has FEMA funding will be a permanent solution to the problem. FEMA, according to Hellman, has approved funding totaling 87 1/2 percent reimbursement on a loan of $1.6 million for the replacing the collapsed system. Meanwhile, Hellman made arrangements with Mills to meet Tuesday morning to view the problem and see what can be done to alleviate the situation on a temporary basis. Mitch Altier, project manager, for ME Companies. met with Council to discuss the other two projects on the village agenda — the separation of the water and sewer lines in Pomeroy, A project cost of $1.5 million, totally funded with grants, and the replacement of the water line leading from the well at Syracuse to Pomeroy. a $750,000 project to be funded with an EPA grant and a second grant from the ARC with a village EPA village loan of $358,589 at 2 percent interest to be repaid over a 380 year period.

During these hard economic times, the pantry has lost some support they previously received. It was that knowledge that prompted the Farmers Bank and other local businesses to embark on a project of helping to fill the shelves of the pantry this holiday season. Recognizing the need The Farmers Bank and the Bend Area Community Assistance and Relief for Everyone ( C.A.R.E.) have joined in a project called “Fill the Truck.” On Saturday, Nov. 19, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., a large pickup truck will be parked outside of the Walmart Store at Mason and the goal is to load it full of food for the pantry to distribute to families in the area. Employees of Farmers Bank are donating their time to carry out the project of helping others. For those who cannot make it to the Walmart site Saturday, donations can be left at Bob’s Market in Mason or the Riverside Golf Course, or at any of the five Farmers Bank locations during regular business hours. The drive will conclude at the Farmers Bank “Jingle All the Way 5K” event at the Riverside Golf Course on Dec. 10. “The goal of the project is to collect 15,000 pounds of food to be donated to hungry families in the community,” said Heather Crum, Farmers marking manager. “You have the ability to make a change in our community and help fight hunger.” She encouraged everyone to be a part of making Christmas merry for those who are stressed by these current hard economic times.

House Speaker William Batchelder says he and fellow Republicans wanted to pass the measure Wednesday, but spokesman Mike Dittoe says it will not go to the House floor. Wednesday is the last scheduled voting session for the chamber this month. Dittoe says it doesn’t make sense bring the bill before lawmakers without votes needed to make it effective immediately. Republicans would need seven Democratic votes. U.S. House district lines approved in September are in limbo pending a Democratic repeal effort. State lawmakers would need to pass a revised map before Dec. 7 to avoid holding a presidential and U.S. House primary in June and other primary contests in March. Ohio murderer gets nearly 16 years for threats CLEVELAND (AP) — A murderer serving time in Ohio has been sentenced to nearly 16 years in federal prison for threatening to kill a U.S. judge and his family and to blow up federal buildings. The U.S. attorney’s office said 42-year-old Clifton Cousins was sentenced to 188 months on Tuesday, about four years after he was handed a five-year federal sentence for threatening the president and his family. Investigators say Cousins made the new threats in 2006 and 2009 letters sent to U.S. District Judge David Dowd Jr. in Akron, who had sentenced him in the presidential threat case. Cousins, who also goes by Abdullah Jihad Al-Malik, has been convicted in Ohio of killing girlfriends in 1988 and 1989.

(AP) — A Florida man convicted of killing an Ohio woman and her two teenage daughters in June 1989 as the victims returned from a dream vacation to Disney World has been executed. Oba Chandler, 65, was administered a lethal injection and pronounced dead at 4:25 p.m. Tuesday at the Florida state prison, Gov. Rick Scott’s office said. In 1994, Chandler was convicted of killing 36-year-old Joan Rogers and her daughters Christe and Michelle, from the small farming community of Willshire, Ohio. The three were vacationing in Florida when they asked Chandler for directions. Authorities say Chandler lured them aboard his boat, tied concrete blocks to ropes around their necks and dumped their bodies in Tampa Bay. Chandler’s death warrant was the second Scott has signed since taking office.

Rich Weiner says the group on Tuesday took their protest and chanting into a Fifth Third branch and a U.S. Bank branch, where they were arrested. He said they were asked to leave by security, and those who refused were arrested on misdemeanor criminal trespassing charges.

Weiner says the protesters are being held in jail. A phone message left with one of the organizers of the Columbus group was not immediately returned Tuesday.

The Delaware County prosecutor’s office says the boy will be in court Wednesday. Defense attorney Michael Cox said Tuesday the boy likely would change his plea. He declined to discuss any possible plea deal. Authorities say the boy killed 38-year-old Jeffrey Reece in April. He had previously entered the juvenile equivalent of a not guilty plea to a delinquency count of murder. If convicted, he could remain in juvenile detention until age 21.

Dear Dr. Brothers: Before I make any decision, whether I’m in the grocery-store aisle picking out trash bags or deciding what to wear for work, my mind goes into hyperdrive. I seem to overthink everything, and I can’t stop! It’s weird — even on the weekends when I have free time, I think myself into exhaustion and wind up not getting anything done. When Monday comes, I feel drained. Is there any way to stop my head from all this reeling? — H.L. Dear H.L.: You are a perfect candidate to stop — stop thinking, learn to enjoy the moment and reap the benefits. It seems as though you have too many things going on in your head and you are in the habit of analyzing every last piece of data. Try an experiment: Next time you have to make a decision — say, at a restaurant, with that huge menu in front of you — instead of analyzing which food groups you want, or how many calories everything is likely to have, or what three colors would be attractive on the plate, or what your date would think of you eating corn on the cob with your hands — just be, as they say. Let your gut instincts or emotions drive the decision, for a change. In other words, find something that looks good to you, and order it. Done! This may feel like a different process to you — one that may have Dr. Joyce Brothers a bit of discomfort accompanying it, for you haven’t justified the decision to yourself by weighing all the pros and cons. So, you’ll have to get used to it. Obviously you’re still going to want to analyze certain crucial and complex situations, but there’s no reason to use all that brain power on something as silly as lunch. After you stop overusing your gray matter for a while, you might find that you are more relaxed and sleeping better, too. All I can say is just don’t let your brain get out of practice. *** Dear Dr. Brothers: I’ve been dating this guy for four months and he’s never once given me a compliment on my looks. I’m usually not the needy type and don’t need the opinions of others to feel validated, but it hurts my feelings that he never says anything nice. Last week we went to a wedding, and everyone said how great I looked — except him! Am I making too big a deal of this, or should I take it as a sign that he really doesn’t care? — N.F. Dear N.F.: I don’t think you should jump to conclu- sions. Let’s see if we can figure out why he is doing this and whether he can be expected to change. If you have to ask him how you look, it really doesn’t help the old self-esteem, does it? First you need to step back and notice his behavior with other women. Does he compliment them? If so, game over. He’s not into you, or he is taking you for granted. Secondly, do you get a lot of praise about your looks from others, just not him? I’m not checking to see if you are compliment-worthy, but to see what kind of an environment he is working in. If everyone around you comments occasionally on your appearance, it is possible that your friend might need a little push. Don’t be afraid to tell him that you appreciate it when he notices your hair or what you’re wearing or your perfume. Perhaps with a gentle push like that, he will be right there the next time you look fabulous and wonder if he notices. Once you are receiving a little more attention, you can encourage him by giving him some compliments too. Men can use a little emotional stroking as well, so don’t be stingy with your own thoughts and feelings. If there’s anything that should pay off, it’s having your guy realize how good it feels to hear a few nice words from his girlfriend, and that should help you jump-start your welldeserved mutual admiration society. (c) 2011 by King Features Syndicate Southern Local celebrates Veterans Day RACINE — The Southern Local School District held its annual Veterans’ Day ceremonies at both its elementary and high school buildings Friday. Both events featured the Southern High School marching band playing the National Anthem and other patriotic tunes in tribute to the many veterans attending. Special recognition was given to World War II Veteran Delbert Smith who was was honored for his years of service to his country. George Lawrence, Commander of American Legion Post 602 in Racine, was the featured speaker at both events. At the elementary assembly Lawrence gave an informative talk about what each fold in a folded American Flag represented. At the high school he read a Soldier’s Prayer and a Veteran’s Salute in addition to a poem entitled “Old Glory”, a story of the trials and tribulations of the American Flag. Kent Wolfe, Principal, was master of ceremonies for the elementary affair, while Scott Wolfe, director of Federal Programs was the master of ceremonies at the high school event. The principal directed and organized the high school assembly and presented several inspiring power point presentations. Scott Wolfe gave a tribute called “Honoring Veterans”, a speech inspiring students to become patriots and the importance of saying “Thank You” to our American veterans and soldiers. Besides upbeat music by the Southern Band under the direction of . Chad Dodson, the Southern first graders sang “God Bless the USA” and “This Land is My Land”. Southern Superintendent Tony Deem, himself an Iraqi ‘Enduring Freedom’ war veteran, then gave a special presentation to Delbert Smith. Smith entered the Army in July of 1943; he belonged to the 343rd Engineer GS Regiment where he was trained as a truck driver. During his service he served in the Central Europe Theater where he earned a Bronze Star. His awards include the American Theater Ribbon, Good Conduct Medal, Victory Medal WWII, Occupation Medal (Germany). He was discharged from the Army at Camp Atterbury, Indiana with an Honorable Discharge In May of 1946. He has been a member of the American Legion for nearly 54 years. He was a faithful employee of the Southern Local School system for over 40 years and was Deem’s bus driver. He and his wife, Ruth, raised five sons on the family farm near Racine, and have 12 grandchildren and eight greatgrandchildren. “Because you were a special part of my life,” Deem said in tribute, “It is a very special privilege to honor you today. We are proud of you and your service and commitment.” The program concluded with Deem and Technical Director and veteran Ed Baker reading the names of all Meigs Countians who had lost their lives in wars since World War I. Each time a name was read the bell tolled and a candle was extinguished in memory of the fallen soldiers. Taps concluded the program. Vicki Northup/photo Delbert Smith, a veteran of World War II, was given special recognition at the Southern Veterans Day observance. He was presented a plaque by Superintendent Tony Deem. Ohio national forest halts sale of drilling rights COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — The U.S. Forest Service has dropped plans to auction natural gas and oil drilling rights next month on thousands of acres in Ohio’s only national forest because administrators there want to study the possible impacts from the gas extraction method known as fracking, officials said Tuesday. Hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, is a horizontal drilling technique for gas that blasts chemical-laced water deep underground to break up shale and release natural gas locked in the rock. The Wayne National Forest in southeast Ohio will pull together a team of natural resources experts to analyze above-ground effects from the practice, forest Supervisor Anne Carey said. In the meantime, more than 3,200 acres of forest land has been withdrawn from a federal oil and gas lease sale scheduled for Dec. 7, the Forest Service said. The acreage in Athens, Gallia, and Perry counties was to be included in a broader sale of leases for 20,949 acres of federal land in Ohio, Mississippi and Louisiana. The study of fracking and the Wayne National Forest was being undertaken “based on new information and increased public interest on natural gas exploration, especially deep horizontal drilling,” Carey said. The review could take up to six months and lead to revisions in a 2006 environmental impact statement on proper use of the forest, which currently has nearly 1,300 mostly shallow oil I wish to thank everyone who supported me in my successful bid for Orange Township Fiscal Officer, Debbie Watson Paid for by the candidate 42455 Woods Road, Coolville, Ohio and gas wells. The Buckeye Forest Council, an environmental coalition, had said the environmental statement was outdated because it did not mention hydraulic fracturing. The council opposed the forest leasing, as did Athens County, the city of Athens and Ohio University. Putting the auction plan on hold was a smart decision because of concerns about fracking, said Nathan Johnson, staff attorney for the Buckeye Forest Council. “There’s potential for contamination of groundwater, given that the brine and the chemicals that are also down there could, in theory, well up and get into the groundwater. There’s a lot of potential for spills, leaks,” Johnson said. His coalition hopes the forest service will ultimately decide to put a moratorium on gas extraction from shale beneath the Wayne National Forest, at least until the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency completes an exploration of potential hazards.

We are 66 years beyond the moment when nuclear weapons were first used—by the United States—to kill actual people, and 49 years beyond the Cuban Missile Crisis, when the planet came unacceptably close to thermonuclear annihilation. A mutual nuclear paroxysm between Iran and Israel would be a repeat of the holocaust of World War Two, this time in minutes rather than years, incinerating not only the Jewish state but also millions of Iranian men, women and children. More pre-emption might delay that unthinkable possibility, but it will also only intensify the hate and fear that could make holocaust 2.0 inevitable further down the time-stream. Unless the family of nations changes its approach, somewhere, sometime, there will be a terrible error, or accident, or a slide down the slippery slope into nuclear war. One recalls the gripping climactic scene in “Bridge Over the River Kwai” where British prisoners of war complete the great bridge, only to watch British commandos blow it up. Looking on, the camp medical officer cries out “Madness! Madness!” In 1979, the father of the “Muslim bomb,” the Pakistani scientist A. Q. Khan, gave the German magazine Der Spiegel one of the saddest and most revealing interviews ever published. In it he questioned “the bloody, holier-than-thou attitudes of the Americans and the British. These bastards are God-appointed guardians of the world, to stockpile hundreds of thousands of nuclear warheads and have the God-given authority of carrying out explosions every month. But if we start a modest programme, we are the Satans, the devils …” Whether or not Khan had a point, he was so lost in his enraged response to what he saw as colonial condescension that it never occurred to him to look objectively at the utility of nuclear weapons and the impossibility of victory in a nuclear war. Instead, his sense of having been patronized intensified his tragic desire to produce a weapon as a source of national pride. Madness! In the Republican debate, Representative Bachmann and Santorum affirmed their support of foreign aid for Pakistan, saying it must remain an ally because it has nuclear weapons. So the policy debate ties itself in knots: Iran must be pre-emptively bombed to prevent its becoming nuclear, and nuclear Pakistan, whose intelligence service aids groups who are killing American soldiers just beyond their borders, must continue to receive billions of our aid dollars because it is nuclear. It is long past the time when we, the “we” of any particular nation, need to set aside the illusion that because we are the good The Daily Sentinel Reader Services Correction Policy Our main concern in all stories is to be accurate.

This does not mean that the international community should give up unflagging efforts to prevent more nations, let alone non-state entities, from possessing nuclear materials and weapons. What we need to do now is include ourselves as example setters and renounce our exceptionality. Instead, the United States (joined by other nuclear nations) is allocating vast sums to renewing and diversifying its nuclear arsenal. Realizing at last with such luminaries as former Secretary of State Schultz that these weapons have zero strategic value to any nation, all nuclear states should join negotiations toward zero in numbers. The monster in our midst, before it is a deployed weapon capable of reducing a modern city to ash in seconds, is a scientific principle which cannot be unthought. It is with this little planet forever now, an extraordinary achievement which challenges our species to come up with an understanding of our interdependence that is equal to its destructiveness. If it does that, perhaps it will have served a genuinely useful purpose. It is not an Iranian monster or a North Korean monster or an Al Qaeda monster that can be conquered by clever and ruthless preemption. It is a monster created by human minds, and only human minds will conquer it—together. It is our monster. (Winslow Myers is a public peace intellectual.) Page 4 Wednesday, November 16, 2011 Slashing Social Security is NOT a Solution to the Budget Deficit By Joanie Spain My father-in-law is the quintessential southern gentleman. A retired history professor, he is well-read, thoughtful in speech and informed in opinions. After a lifetime in academia, he considers among his major influences the Bible and Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s New Deal. He said, “My mother was an old-fashioned homemaker, totally dependent on my father’s income. She was in her early 50s when my father died, some years before she was old enough to draw survivor’s benefits. During this time, my brother and I helped a little and she took in boarders to provide some income. When she began receiving her survivor’s check each month-small though it was-she was a different person. She felt independent, a matter of great concern for a person in her generation, and one I understand better myself these days. The New Deal restored dignity and self-respect; it transformed lives.” FDR’s administration was the first in the history of our country to consider the welfare of the common man to be as important as vested corporate interests. The New Deal established (among other things) emergency relief programs, the Wagner Act (protecting workers’ rights), the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Agricultural Adjustment Act (protecting farmers) and the Social Security Act. Now, Social Security is under attack by the very people elected to safeguard the interests of the people. Somehow, raising the Social Security eligibility age and slashing benefits has been linked to reducing the Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

According to Dean Baker, co-director of the Center for Economic and Policy Research, equating Social Security cuts to deficit reduction is “close to a non sequitur.” Baker said, “… People paid for those benefits, so in effect what we [are] doing is defaulting on the bonds that are held in the trust fund to pay people when they come due.” Social Security played no part in creating the budget deficit and can in no logical way reduce it. The funds obviously can be raided and used for purposes other than originally intended, but is that the American Way? Speaker of the House John Boehner was elected to represent the Eighth Congressional District of Ohio. I’m pretty sure his constituents did not expect him to throw widows, children and his elderly neighbors under the bus in the name of “fiscal responsibility.” Social Security is a critical antipoverty program for Ohio women and families. According to Social Security Administration and Census Bureau findings, the program lifts 859,000 residents out of abject poverty (including 47,000 children); dramatically reducing poverty rates for women 65+; and for older women living alone. Social Security also reduced the poverty rate for African-American women age 65+ in Ohio. There are two United States senators representing Ohio, Sherrod Brown and Rob Portman, and 18 elected representatives (to find yours, visit www.house.gov/ representatives/). We need to tell them that slashing and/ or robbing Social Security is NOT a solution to the budget deficit. While you’re at it, why not also contact members of the president’s bipartisan National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform (www.fiscalcommission.gov/) and let them know that Social Security is off limits. Social Security did not cause the current crises and misappropriating those funds, in the long run, will create more problems than it will solve. And aren’t we all interested in the long run, really? History records that every significant culture, nation and people had an implicit social contract to care for their most vulnerable members; an imperative supported by every major world religion. Don’t we want to know we are part of a larger social contract that cares about our personal wellbeing? Democracy, by definition, is governance by the people, where ultimate power rests with the interests of the common man. Contrast this with plutocracy, which is government by the wealthy exercising power and influence to benefit the wealthy. Which of these most closely align with your personal interests and those of your parents, neighbors and co-workers?

Reginald Brooks of East Cleveland died at 2:04 p.m., ending a nearly six-month break in the use of capital punishment in Ohio, which often trails only Texas in the number of annual inmate executions. Dressed in the standard white T-shirt and blue pants, Brooks declined to make a final statement and remained silent as he received the lethal injection. Witnesses, which included his former wife and her sisters, had a view of his left hand, its middle finger raised. Prison officials said he was making the same gesture with his right hand. Brooks’ actions appear to have been unprecedent- ed since the state resumed executions in 1999. Condemned Ohio inmates in the past have criticized their sentences, professed their innocence, given angry final statements and pleaded to be spared, but never made an obscene gesture. Brooks’ lawyer said the gesture reflected the inmate’s anger at the final set of court decisions. “That was his reaction to how things had gone down in the last couple of days,” defense attorney Michael Benza said. “Even Reggie, the mentally ill, paranoid schizophrenic, understood how wrong the process was,” he said. “It wasn’t to the family, it was to the system that had treated him so badly these last few weeks.” State and federal courts rejected attorneys’ arguments that Brooks was not mentally competent and that the government hid relevant evidence that could have affected his case. The execution was delayed by more than three hours as attorneys exhausted Brooks’ appeals. The U.S. Supreme Court refused Tuesday to halt the execution. He is the fourth inmate in Ohio to be put to death using the surgical sedative pentobarbital as a standalone execution drug. Beverly Brooks, who found her 11-, 15- and 17-year-old sons dead when she returned from work, and her two sisters sat silently during the execution, gripping each other’s shoulders or hands and occasionally sniffling. They were joined by a close friend, and all four wore white T-shirts printed with a photo of the boys. Beverly Brooks did not comment, but one of her sisters, Monica Stephens, spoke afterward on behalf of the family, saying the execution ended a terrible chapter in their lives. Biden pitches middle-class values to Ohio audience EUCLID, Ohio (AP) — Vice President Joe Biden reveled Tuesday in labor’s big win in the fight to repeal Ohio’s collectivebargaining law and said it was the opening shot in a “mini-revolution” to defend the American middle class. “You fired the first shot. It’s not about Barack Obama. It’s not about Joe Biden,” said Biden, standing before a fire truck parked sideways in a firehouse packed with union supporters in this blue-collar Cleveland suburb. Instead, Biden said, it’s about the middle class, “They’re the ones that make this country move.” Biden repeated the middle-class theme in brief comments to reporters, calling the collective-bargaining fight in Ohio the first shot in a “mini-revolution.” “You are not what you’d call, you know, a liberal state. You are a bellwether state,” Biden said. The vice-president’s visit came the same day Obama’s re-election campaign was opening its first Ohio field office in Chillicothe. Biden told the firehouse audience that a social compact was under attack. “The bargain has said that every worker, public and private, union and non-union, deserves a fair shot,” he said. “A bargain that said everyone could contribute and should contribute their fair share. Not just the poor, but the wealthy. A bargain that said that the deck should not be stacked. Part of the role of government is to unstack the deck against middleclass people.” Republican state chairman Kevin DeWine highlighted Ohio’s jobless rate in criticizing the Biden visit. Ohio’s unemployment rate in September was 9.1 percent, compared with 8.8 percent when President Barack Obama took office and 7.3 percent when he was elected. “The fact that the White House deems it appropriate to hold a campaign rally in Ohio where more than 530,000 people are out of work, just shows how outof-touch they are with the hard-working families of Ohio,” DeWine said in an email. By a 61 percent margin, Ohio voters last week rejected the law limiting the bargaining abilities of more than 350,000 teachers, firefighters, police officers and other public workers. Republican Gov. John Kasich had said the law would help hold down taxes and make the state more appealing to business. He said he respected the ballot decision and would reflect on the result. The union victory was tempered by a separate vote where 66 percent of voters rejected an insurance mandate in Obama’s federal health insurance overhaul. Steve Loomis, president of the Cleveland police union, said the collective bargaining fight might switch some officers from GOP-leaning to Democratleaning, but next year’s political fight will be won in the middle. “It’s these left-wing ideologies and these rightwing ideologies that are killing us,” he said outside the firehouse. “When someone realizes that that has some juice, I think things will get a lot better.” “Our nephews are gone, and they’ll never be replaced,” she said. “The memories we’ll always have. The what-ifs we’ll always have.” Reginald Brooks’ two defense attorneys and two spiritual advisers also watched him die, sharing only whispers during the process. At 66, Brooks is the oldest person put to death since Ohio resumed executions. The defense argued he was a paranoid schizophrenic who suffered from mental illness long before he shot his sons in the head as they slept at their East Cleveland home on a Saturday morning. Defense attorneys said Brooks believed his co-workers and wife were poisoning him and that he maintained his innocence, offering conspiracy theories about the killings that involved police, his relatives and a look-alike. Beverly Brooks has said she believes the killings were an act of revenge for her divorce filing, not the result of mental illness. Prosecutors acknowledged Brooks was mentally ill but disputed the notions that it caused the murders or made him incompetent. They said 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. Brooks was found competent for trial, and a threejudge panel convicted him. Defense attorneys argued that prosecutors withheld information that would have supported a mental health defense and led the court to rule differently. They said newly discovered notes that described Brooks’ erratic behavior and indicated his mental health were not turned over to Brooks’ defense. Former Judge Harry Hanna, one of the three on the original 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’ lawyers filmed Hanna talking about his decision and presented the DVD to Gov. John Kasich as he debated whether to grant clemency. If a three-judge panel hears a death penalty case, it must vote unanimously for a death sentence under Ohio law. The parole board recommended that Kasich deny Brooks clemency, which he did. Brooks’ attorneys showed Brooks the DVD Monday night in Lucasville. Visit us online at www.mydailysentinel.com Wouldn’t you like to shop armed with $100 in grocery coupons of your choice each month?

More than 61 percent of voters rejected the law in last week’s election. The measure restricted the collective bargaining rights of Ohio’s more than 350,000 teachers, firefighters, state employees and other public workers. Among other provisions, public employees would have been required to pay at least 15 percent of their health insurance. The law’s repeal is expected to have “minimal fiscal impact” on the state, Fitch Ratings said in an analysis last week. Part of the agency’s reasoning is that anticipated savings from the legislation were not assumed when lawmakers drafted Ohio’s two-year budget, and state employees already contribute 15 percent toward their health insurance. The state has held the agency’s second-highest AA+ credit rating since at least April 2010. Ohio’s credit outlook has also been stable since that time. Ohio Gov. John Kasich and fellow supporters of the law had promoted the collective bargaining overhaul as a means for city officials, school superintendents and others to better control their costs and keep workers on the job during a time of limited budgets. Opponents had con- tended the collective bargaining restrictions were an unfair attack on public employee unions that had worked cooperatively with their government employers for decades. They also accused lawmakers of exploiting a state budget crisis to pass an unpopular measure unpopular. After speaking on Tuesday at an event in Columbus, Kasich told reporters he was pleased by Fitch’s analysis. “This does not affect our budget,” Kasich said about the collective bargaining law. “This was only designed to give people the tools to deal with the changes that we needed to make in the state.” Kasich, a first-term Republican, said he was still reflecting on the results of the election, and that he planned to speak with the Ohio Municipal League, county commissioners and others about how to move forward. “I’m going to tell them, ‘Anything that you think that you have where we can get tools to help you, we’re open to (them),’” Kasich said. Kasich declined to comment on an effort by tea party groups in the state who are pushing for an amendment to the state’s constitution that would prevent workers covered by union contracts from being required to join unions or pay dues. “I’m in reflection mode,” Kasich told reporters. “And it’s not the time for me to be thinking about those things now.” Cities, townships and other municipalities saw significant cuts in Ohio’s nearly $56 billion budget that took effect in July. While local governments will face continued pressure to offset an estimated $2 billion in reductions from the state budget, Fitch analysts say their agency does not expect the defeat of the law to have an immediate impact on local governments’ budgets. Asked about Fitch’s analysis on the effect of the law’s repeal on local governments, Kasich said the report speaks for itself. State Sen. Keith Faber, who defended the law in public debates, said that schools and municipalities have benefited from the law, despite its repeal. He said as the collective bargaining measure moved through the Legislature, it forced teachers and firefighter unions to make concessions they otherwise might not have been willing to make. Faber, a Celina Republican, said he wasn’t surprised that the analysis found no immediate credit impact on the state or its local governments. “In the long term, it’s yet to be seen,” Faber said in an interview. The ratings agency said it didn’t focus on the strength or weakness of collective bargaining rights in its evaluation, but rather on “how they are exercised and their impact on a government’s operations and decisions.” YES, I want to save up to $1,000 by subscribing to The Daily Sentinel today!

Of the 21 players selected from the respective programs at South Gallia, Gallia Academy, Meigs, Eastern, River Valley and Southern, 11 athletes were honored with first team accolades within their division. Gallia County landed 12 players on the squads and had seven first team selections, while Meigs County had nine all-district honorees and four first team selections. Gallia County finished the 2011 campaign with a combined 15-16 record, while Meigs County collectively posted an 1119 mark. South Gallia — the lone playoff team from either Ohio county — had the most representation in the OVP area with six selections, followed by both Gallia Academy and Meigs with four honorees each. Eastern had three selections, while River Valley and Southern both had two honorees apiece. The Rebels (7-4) had four first team selections in Division VI in seniors Cory Haner, Dalton Matney and Danny Matney, as well as sophomore Jacob White. Seniors Troy Zinn and Josh Cooper were also named honorable mention in D-6. Both Matneys and White were defensive selections, while Haner was picked for his work on the offensive side of the ball. The Marauders (6-4) had three first team selections in Division IV in seniors Jeffrey Roush, Jesse Smith and Charlie Barrett, while junior Dillon Boyer was an honorable mention selection. Roush was an offensive selection, while Smith and Barrett were both named to the first team on the defen- sive side of the ball. The Blue Devils (6-4) had three first team selections in Division III in seniors Aaron Guisinger, Brandon Taylor and Zack Tackett, while sophomore Ty Warnimont was an honorable mention honoree. Both Taylor and Guisinger were named to the offensive first team, while Tackett was selected to the defensive unit. The Eagles (3-7) had one first team selection in senior Tyler Cline, who was named to the offensive squad in Division VI. Junior Max Carnahan and sophomore Chase Cook were both honorable mention selections for Eastern. Neither the Raiders (2-8) nor the Tornadoes (2-8) had a first team honoree in Division IV or Division VI, respectively. River Valley seniors Patrick Williams and Trey Noble were honorable mention selections in D-4, while Southern had two honorable mention picks in D-6 with senior Ryan Tay- lor and sophomore Tyler Barton.

The NBA owners say they’ve made their best offer. The players responded Monday by vowing to file an antitrust lawsuit. The owners are continuing legal action of their own. So, after months of hard feelings, contentious negotiations and downright ridiculous claims (did a union attorney really say owners were treating players like plantation workers?), it’s time for the rest of us to move on. No season? No problem. Trust me, we’ll all be just fine. The next time you hear someone talk about revenue splits or hard salary caps, put your hands over your ears and shout, “La! La! La! La! La!” Sure, it’s a bit childish, but no more so than billionaire owners bickering with millionaire players after one of the most successful seasons in NBA history. Clearly, none of those guys give a flip about the fans, the low-paid arena workers in desperate need of a paycheck, or the nondescript team employees who might soon be out of work as well.

WVU Tech football program discontinued CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) The football program at the West Virginia University Institute of Technology is being eliminated after state lawmakers declined to immediately fund improvements on the Montgomery campus. West Virginia University senior associate provost Russ Dean released a letter to the WVU Tech community Monday evening. It came after the Legislative Oversight Commission on Higher Education Accountability endorsed a report for campus improvements but wouldn’t commit to paying for them. Dean wrote that among the first steps will be eliminating Tech’s football program. “The high cost of operating this program, coupled with low fan attendance and support, makes this decision necessary,” Dean said. A report prepared by an audit team of academic experts for the Legislature had proposed the football team’s elimination to save money. The football program cost $700,000 a year to See NBA, 10 operate. Athletics consumes 11 per- cent of the school’s total operating budget. Scott Tinsley, WVU Tech’s coach since 2008, said he was surprised by the decision to eliminate the program. “I did not expect it,” Tinsley said. “I’m still amazed that they’re shutting down something that makes nearly a $1 million a year for the institution.” Media outlets report student scholarships and employee contracts within the football program will be honored. Tinsley’s contract expires June 30. WVU Tech, a member of the NAIA Mid-South Conference, went 1-9 this season. It joined the conference in 2006 after spending 80 years as a member of the Division II West Virginia Conference. The Golden Bears had considered dropping the program in 2004. The report prepared for the Legislature had cited a 50 percent decline in enrollment over the past decade for leaving WVU Tech “continually starved for operating funds.” The report had sought a short-term cash infusion of up to $35 million and a long-term investment of as much as $100 million to ensure the college’s survival. “I’m quite uncomfortable committing that amount of funding,” said Senate Education Chairman Robert Plymale, D-Wayne. “If I had that much money, I don’t know that I’d put it all into one project or one institution.” The legislative commission said recommendations from the report that require no funding at WVU Tech will be implemented first. Funding for the remainder of the recommendations would now have to be requested after the Legislature convenes in January. Dean’s letter recommended installing an interim leader at WVU Tech by Dec. 15 to replace campus provost Scott Hurst until long-term plans are made for the school.

Sandusky says he only ‘horsed around’ with boys NEW YORK (AP) The former Penn State assistant football coach at the heart of a massive sex scandal said he showered with young boys and hugged them but called the allegedly criminal contact “horseplay.” Jerry Sandusky told NBC News’ “Rock Center” on Monday night that he was not a pedophile but, in retrospect, should not have showered with the boys he’s charged with sexually assaulting. In an interview with Bob Costas, Sandusky, once considered the heir apparent to coaching legend Joe Paterno, proclaimed his innocence in the face of a series of startling allegations detailed in a grand jury report issued last week. “I am innocent of those charges,” Sandusky said. “… I could say that I have done some of those things. I have horsed around with kids. I have showered after workouts. I have hugged them, and I have touched their legs without intent of sexual contact.” Sandusky is accused of sexually assaulting eight boys over a 15-year span, with some of the alleged crimes happening at Penn State, where he had access to campus as an emeritus professor following his 1999 retirement as Paterno’s top defensive assistant. Asked whether he was sexually attracted to underage boys, he said “sexually attracted, no. I enjoy young people, I love to be around them, but, no, I’m not sexually attracted to young boys.” Asked if there was anything he had done wrong, Sandusky said, “I shouldn’t have showered with those kids.” When pressed about how two people could claim to have witnessed Sandusky engaged in sexual contact with boys on two different occasions, Sandusky replied that “you’d have to ask” them. The scandal has hit hard the community called Happy Valley, where “success with honor” is the motto. Paterno and University President Graham Spanier have lost their jobs and Athletic Director Tim Curley and senior vice president Gary Schultz face perjury charges. The interview with Costas was Sandusky’s first public comment on the charges. He had previously maintained his innocence through his attorney, Joe Amendola. “We anticipate we’re going to have at least several of those kids come forward and say ‘This never happened. This is me. This is the allegation. It never occurred,’” Amendola said on the NBC broadcast. The New York Times reported on its website late Monday that close to 10 additional suspected victims have come forward to authorities since Sandusky’s arrest, according to people close to the investigation. The paper said police were working to confirm the new allegations. A spokesman for Pennsylvania Attorney General Linda Kelly declined to comment on the interview, citing the active investigation. Amendola earlier told CNN that his client was just behaving like “a jock.” “Jerry Sandusky is a big overgrown kid,” Amendola said. “He’s a jock, and for anybody who’s ever played sports, you get showers after you work out.” Wide receivers coach Mike McQueary told a grand jury that in March 2001 See PENN, 10 �ORDER OF SALE IN THE ABOVE TITLED ACTION, I WILL OFFER FOR SALE AT PUBLIC AUCTION, AT THE www.mydailysentinel.com FRONT DOOR OF THE SHERIFFʼS OFFICE. 104 EAST SECOND STREET, POMEROY, OHIO, IN THE ABOVE NAMED COUNTY ON THE 2ND DAY OF DECEMBER 2011 AT 10:00 A.M.

Your instincts point to the correct direction. Take stock of your professional or community status. Others look up to you. If you are single, you could meet someone when out or at work. Don’t make more of this bond than exists. Be a skeptic. If you are attached, the two of you might become more visible as you work toward a common goal. LEO pushes you into the limelight. They like your style. 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 You could be more enthusiastic, but it might seem like a big effort at first. Your innate spontaneity will come out. You have a lot to smile about. Extremes mark your plans, yet if you stop and notice, you feel like your old self by the end of the day. Tonight: Midweek break. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHH If you can call in, please do. You would like to work from home if possible. Recognize where a change might be necessary in your schedule and routine. Stop and consider your options; much will come up. Tonight: Happy at home. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH Keep a conversation moving. You might feel as if you cannot get past a problem, and for the moment, that opinion might be true. A friend’s enthusiasm energizes you midday. The importance of support and mutual brainstorming cannot be underestimated. Tonight: Meet a friend. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHH Be more direct. Honor what you feel in a discussion. Sometimes you don’t see yourself clearly. Others’ feedback or attitudes might indicate that your perspective is distorted. You have a strong sense of direction and are in sync with realistic possibilities. Tonight: Stop and buy a token gift. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH You clearly are in your element. Even someone’s mood or seriousness washes over you like water. Unexpected information turns into a very exciting situation. Be careful about making more of an investment than you are comfortable with. Tonight: All grins. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHH Know when to get to the bottom of a situation. You don’t need to be right, but you do need to follow your instincts. Someone with a better perspective gives you feedback. Listen well. Tonight: Vanish while you can. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH Go for what you want. Sometimes you might make a situation more difficult, as you can be negative at the juncture of action. Find a way of turning around negativity and stress. Recognize that a partner does the unexpected almost always. Tonight: Where people are. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHH Be willing to take a stand even though you think you know the outcome. Just make sure you aren’t setting yourself up or creating it. A little more spontaneity can add to the quality of excitement in your life. What is holding you back? Tonight: Burning the midnight oil. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHHH Reach out for a distant associate. You might not like all the news that heads in your direction. If you detach, you will understand more of what is going on here. A child or new friend acts in the most unpredictable manner. Tonight: Be spontaneous. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHHH Deal directly with one other person. You might be questioning which direction is right for you. A boss or a similar authority figure doesn’t seem to have the answers, because they lie within. Let your creativity flow. Try a little less self-discipline. Tonight: One-on-one relating. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Defer to others. You need to observe more and react less. Still, the sign associated with spontaneity cannot stop himself. You certainly listen to your inner voice. You also might need to rethink a judgment that could be impacting you. Tonight: Sort through invitations. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH Stay level and even with your dealings. Communication soars if you can remain open. An offer that seams too good to be true is exactly that. Be careful with your funds, whether counting change or making a major decision. Easily, you could make a mistake. Tonight: Play it easy.

Blah, blah, blah. The fans, meanwhile, are left at the curb, supposed partners who get absolutely no say in the matter. It’s time to start thinking about them. Without further ado, here’s some tips for all those NBA diehards fretting over the idea of going through a long, cold winter without Dirk or Kobe to keep them company. Fol- low these few easy steps, and you should have no problem dealing with your hoops withdrawal: Introduce yourself to those folks who live under the same roof. Officially, they’re known as your spouse and kids. You’d be amazed at how much you have in common. While going out for a romantic dinner with your betrothed or helping the kids with their math homework may seem a bit passe compared to Blake Griffin dunking over a car, in time you’ll come to appreciate these little things they call “real life.” Maybe you’ll even stop screaming “Yes!!!!!” Marv Albertstyle when asked if you’d like more dessert. Work on your jumper. All you need is a ball and goal, and it’s actually quite fun. Most gyms come equipped with a regulation court. So does your neighborhood park. Heck, I went online and quickly found a rim and net that attaches to the side of your house for less than 50 bucks so you don’t have to go anywhere. Or maybe you should go somewhere. Take a walk. Or a jog. Or a bike ride. These next few NBA-free months would be a good time to knock off a few pounds. Improve your bottom line. Forget a 51-49 split. How does a 100-0 split sound? With no need to buy overpriced tickets or NBA’s League Pass so you can watch 14 games a night from the couch, you’ll automatically be putting hundreds, if not thousands of dollars back in your own pocket with nary a greedy owner or player trying to get his share. And in case you didn’t notice, they don’t have these sort of is- sues in the college game, where it’s understood that everyone works for free. There’s not exactly a shortage of THOSE games to watch on any given night, being played by guys who will very shortly realize they should be demanding a piece of the pie. Put the money you’re saving toward a European vacation. NBA stars shouldn’t be the only ones going overseas during the lockout. Granted, you’ll have to pay handsomely for the privilege, while they’re being compensated in the millions for renting out their skills in countries like Italy, Russia and Turkey. Then again, you’ll be able to spend your days in the leisurely pursuit of wine and cheese, while they’ll have to keep themselves in some semblance of playing shape. As an added bonus, you might be able to catch one of your favorite players on the TV in your hotel room, even if you have no idea what the commentators are saying. That sure beats watching a replay of the 1970 game between the Phoenix Suns and Atlanta Hawks on NBA TV. Still not persuaded you can do without the NBA? Well, let’s not forget that with the NFL settling its labor dispute, we’ve still got seven more weeks to go in the regular season, followed by the playoffs, then the Super Bowl. Once we’re done with that glorious American holiday, it’s only another week or two until pitchers and catchers are reporting for spring training. Before you know it, we’re getting ready for opening day. See, we’ll all be just fine. when he was a graduate assistant, he saw Sandusky sodomizing a boy about 10 years old in a shower at the Nittany Lions’ practice center. McQueary did not go to police but instead told Paterno, Curley and Schultz, although it is unclear how detailed a description he gave. Schultz, in turn, notified Spanier. Sandusky told NBC there was no sexual contact. “We were showering and horsing around, and he actually turned all the show- ers on and was actually sliding across the floor, and we were, as I recall, possibly like snapping a towel horseplay,” he said. Amendola accused the attorney general’s office of having “thrown everything they can throw up against the wall.” He said some of the allegations, such as putting a hand on a boy’s knee, do not constitute criminal conduct and other cases include no direct complaint by the boy. “They have other people who are saying they saw something, but they don’t have actual people saying, ‘This is what Jerry did to me,’” Amendola said. “We’re working to find those people, and when the time comes, and if we are able to do that, we think this whole case will change dramatically.” The Associated Press has made several efforts to reach Sandusky by phone and through Amendola, but messages haven’t been returned. The AP also knocked on Sandusky’s door and left messages at least three times over the past week. When Sandusky retired in 1999, at just 55, he cited his desire to devote more time to The Second Mile, a charity he founded in 1977 to help at-risk kids. According to the grand jury report, however, Sandusky was a sexual predator who used the charity and his Penn State connections to prey on young boys. Though he was not particularly close with Paterno, he remained a familiar sight around the Penn State football complex. He was given an office in the East Area Locker building, across the street from the football building, as part of his retirement package, and would take Second Mile kids around the football facilities. The Sandusky interview came on the day when it was announced the president of The Second Mile had resigned. Jack Raykovitz, a practicing psychologist who had led the group for 28 years, said he hoped his resignation, accepted Sunday, would help restore faith in the group’s mission. The Second Mile also announced it had hired Philadelphia’s former longtime district attorney Lynne Abraham as its new general counsel. Separately, the Big Ten has decided to take Paterno’s name off its cham- pionship trophy. League commissioner Jim Delany said that it is “inappropriate” to keep Paterno’s name on the trophy that will be awarded Dec. 3 to the winner of the conference’s first title game. The trophy had been named the Stagg-Paterno Championship Trophy. Paterno had more wins, 409, than any other major college coach while football pioneer Amos Alonzo Stagg won 319 games in 57 years at the University of Chicago. The trophy will now be called the Stagg Championship Trophy. PHILADELPHIA (AP) Welcome to the Phillies, Cinco Ocho. Jonathan Papelbon and his alter ego finalized a $50 million, four-year contract with Philadelphia on Monday. The former Boston Red Sox closer had agreed to terms with the Phillies on Friday. The contract is the largest ever for a reliever, and it actually totals $50,000,058. The deal includes a vesting option for 2016 that could become guaranteed based on games finished and would make it worth $63 million over five seasons. So what about that extra $58? “You’ll have to ask Cinco Ocho that question,” Papelbon joked. “I can give you his phone number if you need it.” Papelbon will wear No. 58, which belonged to lefty Antonio Bastardo last year. His nickname, of course, mimics Chad Ochocinco. The six-time Pro Bowl wide receiver legally changed his name from Chad Johnson to match his uniform No. 85. The Phillies are counting on Papelbon to produce far more than Ochocinco has in New England this year. He has just 11 catches in his first season with the Patriots. Papelbon replaces Ryan Madson, also a free agent. The Phillies were negotiating with Madson’s agent, Scott Boras, last week before going after Papelbon. “He is among the elite closers in the game and someone who clearly has a passion to win,” general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. said. Papelbon, a four-time All-Star, turns 31 on Nov. 23. He had 219 saves over seven seasons with the Red Sox, including 31 this year, when he made $12 million. The right-hander helped Boston to the 2007 World Series title. The Phillies have long been opposed to giving pitchers contracts beyond three years. They made an exception last year when they signed left-hander Cliff Lee to a $120 million, fiveyear deal. “Four years is a little uncomfortable, but on a player like this and a person who has had this pedigree and this background and success, sometimes you go the extra mile to do that,” Amaro said. “We felt he was the right guy to take a risk on.” Papelbon said talks with the Red Sox never really evolved. “The Phillies showed they were interested in me and I wanted to make this decision quick and get it over with,” he said. “I didn’t want to sit there and debate on whether I go back to Boston. “My agents called me every day with what could happen. One day I finally called them and said, ‘Listen, I want to go play for the Phillies. Let’s make it happen.’ They called me two days later and made it happen.” The Phillies have won five straight NL East titles, but are coming off a disappointing end to a season in which they set a franchise record with 102 wins. Philadelphia was eliminated in the NL division series by eventual World Series champion St. Louis. Since winning the 2008 World Series, the Phillies have regressed each season. They lost in the World Series to the New York Yankees in 2009, were eliminated in the NLCS in 2010 and got knocked out in the first round this year. “The biggest thing in me coming here was playing against the Phillies the last four years, I really admired the way they play, I really admired the way they grind it out and I just feel like the guys in this clubhouse, the way they play the game of baseball is the way I play the game of baseball,” Papelbon said. “I’m excited to meet the guys, I’m excited to play with them and I’m excited to compete with them.” Amaro said the Phillies still have payroll flexibility to re-sign shortstop Jimmy Rollins. The 2007 NL MVP is a free agent and said he wants to return to Philadelphia. A starter in the minor leagues, Papelbon has thrived in the bullpen in the majors. He has converted 88.3 percent of his save opportunities to go with a 2319 record and a 2.33 ERA in 396 career appearances. He had a career-high 41 saves in 2008. Papelbon gets $11,000,058 next year, and $13 million in each of the following three seasons. The $13 million option for 2016 becomes guaranteed if he has 55 games finished in 2015 or 100 games finished in 2014-15 combined. Papelbon is the first major free-agent signing this year, and he’s the first player to leave the Red Sox in a turbulent offseason that began with the departure of manager Terry Francona and was followed by general manager Theo Epstein going to the Chicago Cubs. David Ortiz, Jason Varitek, J.D. Drew, Tim Wakefield and Erik Bedard also are free agents. The turmoil in Boston didn’t factor into Papelbon’s decision to leave. He blew a save on the final day of the regular season, completing Boston’s monumental collapse that led to all those changes. “I definitely feel the situation and the way it ended last year with Boston will make me a better pitcher,” Papelbon said. “I’m not the type of player who is going to hide or shy away from being accountable as a pitcher. I’ve always pitched that way and gone about my business that way. I feel like in this role and as a closer you are not going to be perfect every day, but I sure am going to strive to be perfect every day.” If not, he can blame Cinco Ocho. CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) A heavy dose of testosterone temporarily replaced professionalism in the NFL from Chicago to Charlotte. Blowout games brought out the worst in some players on Sunday and not just the losers, but in the winners as well. In Chicago, Detroit quarterback Matthew Stafford got upset after his third interception and grabbed Bears cornerback D.J. Moore by the helmet. Stafford threw him down, setting off a confrontation involving several players. The Bears won 37-13 but Moore was ejected from the game. Panthers coach Ron Rivera a former Bear said Monday he was “embarrassed” by the actions of both his team and the Tennessee Titans. The teams combined for 21 penalties for 191 yards, including four personal fouls and three unnecessary roughness calls in Tennessee’s 30-3 victory in Charlotte. Rivera said he was upset over the “chippiness” of both teams, particularly in the final two minutes in a game high on trash talk and low on sportsmanship. “When the game is that situation just play it out stop talking,” Rivera said. “You’re winning, great. If you’re losing, stop being frustrated and do your job. And that goes for both teams. I don’t want to speak for coach (Mike) Munchak, but I think both teams got chippy at the end. This is professional football, act like professional football players whether you’re winning or you’re losing.” Players involved in the altercations could face possible fines. An NFL spokesman said that each play will be reviewed individually. Rivera said the lack of sportsmanship bothered him. “It really does, because this game is about competition and competing and being the best,” Rivera said. “It’s not about all of that other stuff that goes on. There should be more pride in winning and losing than I saw from both teams. That’s just my opinion.” Rivera removed receiver Steve Smith for the final play after he ripped the helmet off cornerback Alterraun Verner while making a block. NBA From Page 5 posed settlement that was probably about as good as they’re going to get, let’s not digress. It’s impossible to pick sides in this fight. That would be like saying, “Hey, would you rather spend the day with an IRS auditor going over your tax return or at the dentist getting a root canal?” They’re both repulsive options. Same with the NBA lockout, which features rich guys determined to get even richer vs. not-quite-as-rich guys who don’t want to give up their other, other Benzes. Instead of games, all we’re getting is mindnumbing rhetoric.
