During a meeting of Tri Star superintendents, the administrators were updated on the reasons the technical track program wants to drug test. Boeke said the decision is partly based on safety concerns. Students are learning construction, welding and other trades where a compromised attention to safety could en- danger the students. Boeke also said random drug testing mimics the workforce these workers plan to enter. “It would be random,” Boeke said. “Anyone, anytime, any program.” She noted to pinpoint a certain set of students could be discriminatory. The proposed testing is non-punitive, which would mean students testing positive for substances would not be turned over to the police or face academic repercussions. Currently the program has legal counsel and is trying to write the policy. ––––––––––––––– See TEST, Page A5 LAKE CAMPUS The chatterbox: Professor touts Cardinals love snow empowerment “You get to jump in it and make snow angels.” — Abbie Buitton Abbie “I like to throw snowballs.” — Jonny Heitkamp Jonny “I like summer because you can go swimming.” — Larissa Evers Larissa “I like to go sledding and have snowball fights with my dad.” — Mara Lozier By JANICE BARNIAK By JANICE BARNIAK Staff Writer Staff Writer NEW BREMEN — When an inside recess because of snow was announced at New Bremen Elementary on Thursday, a clap, cheer and whistles rose from the crowd eating their lunches in the cafeteria.

A report from the Institute for College Access and Success shows students who received bachelor’s degrees in 2013 at Ohio colleges and universities graduated with an average of $29,090 in student debt, The Columbus Dispatch reported. The report ranked Ohio 11th in the nation for the most college debt, but the state has improved in the rankings in recent years. Just two years ago, it had the seventh-highest student debt. Although 68 percent of students in Ohio graduated with college debt last year, Ohio Board of Regents Chancellor John Carey said Ohio schools are doing more to help students save money. Institutions are advising students to utilize dual-enrollment programs in high school, intervening early in cases of struggling students and providing better information about college costs, he said. Carey said the improvement in rank is a measure of success, but the report showed Ohio’s rank isn’t necessarily improving due to lower student debt, but rather that debt rose faster in other states. Last year’s average was a nominal $53 more than in 2012. Nationally, the average for student debt rose by 2 percent since 2012, showing the situation isn’t improving, said Debbie Cochrane, co-author of the report. Celia Wright, president of Ohio State University’s student government, told the newspaper that state cuts to higher education funding has hurt students. The high cost of college keeps students from pursuing advanced degrees and forces some to take parttime jobs rather than join student groups, Wright said. “It’s unfortunate that Ohio has not been able to make higher education a priority,” she said. McConnell to lead GOP WASHINGTON (AP) — Sen. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky won election by fellow Republicans on Thursday to become Senate majority leader when the new Congress convenes in January, fulfilling a long-held ambition. A Senate Republican official said McConnell, 72 was chosen by acclamation at a closed-door meeting of the rank and file. As majority leader, McConnell will set the Senate’s agenda. Along with House Speaker John Boehner, he will decide what legislation is sent to the White House in the final two years of President Barack Obama’s term. McConnell was elected to a sixth Senate term last week in elections in which Republicans gained a majority for the first time in eight years. He will formally assume his duties as majority leader in January. Democrats have assailed him in recent campaigns as a guardian of gridlock for his opposition to nearly all of President Barack Obama’s initiatives. At the same time, his office in the Capitol is decorated with two paintings and a bust of Henry Clay, a 19th century Kentuckian known as the Great Compromiser who favored government development of roads and bridges in a young America. Senate Republicans had only one contested leadership race, and selected Sen. Roger Wicker of Mississippi to chair the party’s campaign committee for the 2016 elections. He defeated Sen. Dean Heller of Nevada. Neither Republican leader faced public opposition on the eve of Thursday’s party elections in closed door meetings. If the sessions were celebratory occasions for Republicans, they were less than that for Democrats, who took a pounding in the Nov. 4 midterm elections. After eight years in the minority, Senate Republicans picked up at least eight seats from Democrats and are still hoping for a ninth in a Louisiana runoff set for Dec. 6. The party also padded its majority in the House, where a handful of races remain unresolved. Republicans are on track to equal or eclipse the 246 they won in 1946, a figure that stands as a post-World War II high. Despite sizable election losses, Democrats appeared ready to hand their own leaders another two years at the helm, postponing a generational change that appears not far in the future. Sen. Harry Reid of Nevada, a few weeks shy of his 75th birthday, was in line to become the minority leader in the new Congress. He was first elected Democratic leader in 2004. Officials said Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, a favorite of liberals, would be given a seat at the leadership table. At the same time. Sen. John Tester, a second-term moderate from Montana, was in line to become head of the party’s campaign organization for 2016. Rep. Nancy Pelosi of California, 74, is expected to be elected to a new term as House Democratic leader when the rank-and-file meets next week. She first won her post a dozen years ago. She was speaker for four years when Democrats held the majority, and has served as minority leader for eight.

Justice: Time to rethink elections COLUMBUS (AP) — The number of uncontested judicial races in Ohio is reason to once again consider appointing rather than electing judges, the chief justice of the state Supreme Court argues. Supreme Court statistics show that 69 percent of judicial races were uncontested this election, just down from 70 percent during an equivalent election year in 2010. This year’s uncontested races included campaigns for 13 appeals court seats, the state’s second-highest judicial position. Chief Justice Maureen O’Connor said people are casting what she calls “complimentary votes” in such races. “If you inform the voters, do you know that almost 70 percent of the judges that have been on the ballot in 2014 are unopposed, do you still think you’re electing your judges?” O’Connor said in an interview about the most recent elections. The goal is to take politics out of judicial campaigns, O’Connor said. She favors a system where the governor would appoint judges based on recommendations from a screening committee, with voters casting ballots in retention elections two years later to decide whether the judges should keep their jobs. That plan would “still allow the voters to weigh in, but you would be judging the candidate on their record, what have they done for the two years during the interim,” O’Connor said. “That preserves the best of both worlds.” Currently, Ohio judges run in partisan primaries and nonpartisan general elections. O’Connor has also pushed unsuccessfully to eliminate partisan pri- maries. Lawmakers would have to approve such changes and it’s unclear if there’s any appetite for it. Ohio voters have rejected appointment schemes as far back as 1938. In 1987, Ohio voters again declined to change the state constitution to do away with elected judges. O’Connor’s predecessor, the late Thomas Moyer, pushed as recently as 2009 to change the constitution to require the appointment of Supreme Court justices, but the effort went nowhere. The American Bar Association supports appointment of judges. Several studies have found a number of uncontested judicial races around the country, according to the National Center for State Courts. Practices vary from state to state. In Indiana, the governor appoints supreme court justices and appeals court judges based on recommendations, with those judges then facing a retention election. Lower court judges run in partisan elections. Pennsylvania voters elect judges in partisan races, but the judges thereafter face retention elections to stay in office. In Kansas, appeals court and supreme court judges are appointed, while half the state’s district court judges run in partisan elections and half are appointed. O’Connor is pushing other reforms, such as moving judicial races to odd-numbered years to avoid information overload for the public as well as judges’ races getting “lost in the shuffle” of more high-profile elected offices. She also wants the position of judicial races raised on the ballot to increase voter participation. Legislators look to curb war criminals’ benefits WASHINGTON (AP) — A bipartisan group of lawmakers introduced legislation Thursday to strip suspected Nazi war criminals of their Social Security benefits, insisting American taxpayers should not be underwriting the retirement of anyone who participated in the Third Reich’s atrocities. The Nazi Social Security Benefits Termination Act comes in response to an Associated Press investigation published in October that revealed millions of dollars in benefits have been paid to dozens of former Nazis who were forced out of the United States. At least four are alive, living in Europe on U.S. Social Security. The legislation would end benefits for Nazi suspects who have lost their American citizenship, a step called denaturalization. U.S. law currently requires a higher thresh- old — a final order of deportation — before benefits can be terminated. A companion bill to close this so-called loophole was introduced in the Senate. Mike Long, a spokesman for House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, said “we’re eager to get this done” during the lame-duck session that will last until a new Congress begins in late January. AP’s investigation found that the Justice Department used the loophole to persuade Nazi suspects to leave the U.S. in exchange for Social Security benefits. If they agreed to go voluntarily, or simply fled the country before being deported, they could keep their Social Security benefits. The Justice Department denied using Social Security payments as a tool for expelling former Nazis. “Our bill will eliminate the loophole that has allowed Nazi war criminals to collect Social Security benefits,” Rep. Carolyn Maloney, the bill’s main sponsor, said in a statement. “We should work in a bipartisan and expeditious manner to terminate these benefits once and for all.” Republican Reps. Jason Chaffetz of Utah and Leonard Lance of New Jersey joined with Maloney to introduce the legislation. There are 11 other co-sponsors. The Senate bill is sponsored by Sens. Bob Casey, D-Pa., Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and Bill Nelson, D-Fla. The White House and the Social Security Administration have signaled support for denying benefits to former Nazis. The Justice Department said it is open to considering proposals that would terminate the Social Security payments. Records The Evening Leader PAGE A3 Friday, Nov. 14, 2014 Obituary Janet A.

The school currently has seven students who have allergies, some so severe that they carry an Epi-Pen for treatment on the chance they would come into contact with Association seeks playground funds From Staff Reports ST. MARYS — The Lake Improvement Association has announced the purchase of a new playground set to be installed on the banks of Grand Lake St. Marys in Spring 2015. The new playground set will be located on the east side of Grand Lake St. Marys and feature modern equipment, an accessible walkway and ADA-compliant handicap accessibility, on-site educational signage and benches. It will serve as a means to bring families to the banks of Grand Lake St. Marys, reinforce the lake’s prominence as an attractive recreation destination, and also provide an opportunity for the LIA to educate families about the ongoing efforts to restore the lake via on-site signage. The playground will be free for public use during park hours. The LIA is seeking tax-deductible donations to help fund the playground and installation in partnership with The St. Marys Community Foundation.

While it’s never happened, a student could potentially eat something in the cafeteria or be stung by a bee for the first time on the school campus. If the allergy was severe enough, the student might have a limited time frame to receive treatment. However, the difficulty with the school providing that treatment is that the school nurse would essentially have to determine whether the symptoms of the student were consistent with anaphylactic shock and make the judgment of whether to administer the shot, and the potential for a misdiagnoses would be inherent. Minster Superintendent Brenda Boeke said current protocol is for the nurse to call the squad, who will then arrive to make the judgment. Boeke said the school nurse expressed concerns about the potential for repercussions if a student would have a negative reaction to the EpiPen. EpiPen’s website lists possible side effects from injecting epinephrine as adrenaline excess that can cause rapid heartbeat, trembling, shaking and anxiety. The Center for Disease Control estimates allergies cause 300,000 ambulatory emergencies a year. Boeke said there’s no way to be sure if what a student is experiencing is a previously unknown allergy or another condition that could be negatively affected by epinephrine. “(The nurse) would 100 percent love to have this and know it would work,” Boeke said. “By the same token, she doesn’t want to play doctor.” In calls to area doctors, who would have to prescribe an Epi-Pen to the school, none were willing to take on that responsibility or liability, she said.

Police patrol in town with tiger on prowl PARIS (AP) — Scores of police patrolled a small town west of the French capital on Thursday night after a tiger eluded a massive search and remained on the prowl in the region near Disneyland Paris. The small beast was spotted Thursday morning near a parking lot in Montevrain by a woman who snapped a photo of it. Still on the loose by nightfall, some began to doubt whether it really was a tiger. The Parc des Felins, a wild cat animal park 29 kilometers (18 miles) from Montevrain, said none of its cats are missing. EuroDisney, the operator of Disneyland Paris, a top tourist destination in Europe, went out of its way to say the theme park has no tigers. But authorities remained on alert. Montevrain said 100 police would patrol the town of less than 10,000 overnight and the search for the animal would begin anew Friday. However, a helicopter with infrared equipment was to continue combing the area overnight, according to Cedric Tartaud, top aide to the mayor. “We ask you for the greatest prudence,” Montevrain told its residents on the town’s Facebook page. Entrances to the town’s schools also were being guarded ahead of Friday classes. The Evening Leader Opinion PAGE A4 Friday, Nov. 14, 2014 C ongress shall make no law...

Today’s Highlights in History: On Nov. 14, 1889, inspired by the Jules Verne novel “Around the World in Eighty Days,” New York World reporter Nellie Bly (Elizabeth Cochrane) set out to make the trip in less time than the fictional Phileas Fogg. (She completed the journey in 72 days.) Jawarharlal Nehru (juh-wah-hahr-LAHL’ NAY’-roo), the first prime minister of India, was born. On this date: In 1851, Herman Melville’s novel “Moby-Dick; Or, The Whale” was first published in the United States. In 1910, Eugene B. Ely became the first aviator to take off from a ship as his Curtiss pusher rolled off a sloping platform on the deck of the scout cruiser USS Birmingham off Hampton Roads, Virginia. In 1922, the British Broadcasting Co. began its domestic radio service. In 1940, during World War II, German planes destroyed most of the English town of Coventry. In 1944, Tommy Dorsey and his orchestra recorded “Opus No. 1” for RCA Victor. In 1954, the president of Egypt, Muhammad Naguib, was deposed by the Revolutionary Command Council, leaving Gamal Abdel Nasser fully in charge as acting head of state. In 1969, Apollo 12 blasted off for the moon. In 1970, a chartered Southern Airways DC-9 crashed while trying to land in West Virginia, killing all 75 people on board, including the Marshall University football team and its coaching staff. In 1972, the Dow Jones Industrial Average closed above the 1,000 level for the first time, ending the day at 1,003.16. In 1986, the Securities and Exchange Commission imposed a $100 million penalty against insidetrader Ivan F. Boesky and barred him from working again in the securities industry. In 1990, it was revealed that the pop duo Milli Vanilli (Rob Pilatus and Fabrice Morvan) had done none of the singing on their Grammy-winning debut album “Girl You Know It’s True.” In 1997, a jury in Fairfax, Virginia, decided that Pakistani national Aimal Khan Kasi (eye-MAHL’ kahn KAH’-see) should get the death penalty for gunning down two CIA employees outside agency headquarters. Five years later on this date, Aimal Khan Kasi was executed. Ten years ago: Mahmoud Abbas, successor to Yasser Arafat, escaped unharmed when militants firing assault rifles burst into a mourning tent for the deceased Palestinian leader in Gaza, killing two security guards. Usher was honored with four trophies at the American Music Awards in Los Angeles: favorite male soul-R&B artist, best pop-rock album, best pop-rock artist and best soul-R&B album. Five years ago: President Barack Obama, on a mission to repair America’s global standing, told Asian countries during a speech in Tokyo that he was determined to engage them as equal partners in the economy, diplomacy and security.

Other views from around the country Americans of every stripe should echo The Associated Press’ recent demand that the Federal Bureau of Investigation never present its agents as journalists again. This appeal comes after the FBI acknowledged two weeks ago that one of its agents posed as an AP reporter to snare a teenager making bomb threats against a Thurston County high school in 2007. FBI Director James B. Comey argued in a Friday letter to The New York Times that, when such tactics are employed, they are done “reasonably and legally,” and are subject to close court supervision. Journalists disagree, and so should anyone who values the fundamental freedoms of American life. If sources think that journalists are cooperating with law enforcement, or actually are law-enforcement officers, those sources with important information to tell would not trust reporters. Stories would not be shared, investigated, published. The watchdog would not be as strong. The AP’s demand is grounded in the constitutional guarantee that the press be free from any government interference. More fundamentally, that First Amendment aegis preserves the freedom to share ideas and convey information vital to a functioning republic. By impersonating journalists, the FBI directly infringes upon the freedoms the Founding Fathers explicitly safeguarded in the Bill of Rights. And instead of ensuring the safety of Americans, the secretive intelligence agency could be endangering the lives of America’s truth-tellers. Such impersonations could imperil the safety of journalists if violent sources, at home and abroad, suspect they are cops instead. Some of America’s enemies believe that American intelligence operatives often pose as reporters to affect credible and free-ranging cover identities. By using this ruse at home, the FBI legitimizes these suspicions abroad. And American journalists might be endangered because of it. Think of Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl, who was branded a “spy-journalist” by an al-Qaida group in Pakistan and beheaded in 2002. Or American freelance video journalist James Foley, who was beheaded just three months ago. His Islamic State killers later claimed Foley was a spy. No U.S. agency — whether the FBI, Central Intelligence Agency, or some other entity so shrouded in secrecy that we don’t know it exists — should ever allow its agents to masquerade as news gatherers. This deception undermines core American principles. It should stop. — Seattle Times Contact your legislators Jim Jordan Ohio 4th District 1524 Longworth House Office Building Washington, D.C. 20515 202-225-2676 Senate Building 1 Capitol Square, 1st Floor Columbus, OH 43212 614-466-8150 email: [email protected] John Boehner Ohio 8th District 7969 Cincinnati-Dayton Road Suite B West Chester, OH 45069 513-779-5400 Fax: 513-779-5315 1011 Longworth House Office Bldg.

Obama poised to act on immigration WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama administration is considering a plan that would shield possibly around 5 million immigrants living in the country illegally from deportation as part of a broad set of executive actions that President Barack Obama could announce as early as next week, people familiar with the discussions say. Obama has pledged to move on the measures by year’s end, and White House officials are debating whether to act soon after he returns this weekend from his current trip to Asia and Australia or wait until after Congress approves a major spending bill in December. A senior Obama administration official said it’s possible Obama’s immigration announcement could come next week, but the official said the president hadn’t made a decision yet either about timing or content of the decision. Several officials said Obama still hasn’t received formal recommendations from Department of Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson, but they said Obama is well acquainted with the realm of possibilities. The officials spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the status of the decision publicly. The 5 million estimate includes extending deportation protections to parents and spouses of U.S. citizens and permanent residents who have been in the country for some years. The president is also likely to expand his 2-year-old program that protects young immigrants from deportation. Such a step would represent an expansive use of Obama’s executive authority. The step would fall shy of what many immigrant advocates have been demanding, but is sure to enrage Republicans who are already trying to devise ways Power From Page A1 real and what wasn’t (in the movies) at the time,” she said. The black belt’s experiences in rugby and martial arts guided her dissertation on gender in sports. Her current research is focused on groups and led by thinking that empowerment is an equal opportunity experience that can look different for each person — particularly each woman. Follo described teaching martial arts to students, which at Lake Campus can come in a variety of demographics. She said she remembers showing the class a move and seeing a non-traditional student, older somewhat than the direct-from-high-school cohort, struggling with the move, maybe not as to thwart his actions. “We’re going to fight the president tooth and nail if he continues down this path. This is the wrong way to govern. This is exactly what the American people said on Election Day they didn’t want,” House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, said Thursday. “And so, all the options are on the table.” Some conservatives in the House and Senate announced plans to push for language in mustpass spending bills to block the president from acting. But other Republicans warned that such a push could result in another government shutdown like the one last year over Obama’s health care plan. “My sense is that the vast majority of us want to do everything we can to stop it, but also want to avoid outcomes that would prove bad for the country as a whole,” said Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla. It wasn’t clear, though, what other options Republicans had. Traveling in Asia, Obama said Friday Congress could simply undo his executive actions by passing comprehensive immigration legislation. “I would advise that if in fact they want to take a different approach, rather than devote a lot of time trying to constrain my lawful actions as the chief executive of the U.S. government in charge of enforcing our immigrations laws, that they spend some time passing a bill,” he said during a news conference in Yangon, Myanmar. Immigration advocates, who spoke on condition of anonymity ahead of a public announcement, said final details of the plan remained in flux. But the White House is likely to include parents and spouses of U.S. citizens and permanent residents, stipulating much with the physical movement required as giving herself permission to execute the maneuver. She said she met the woman’s eyes. “You can do this,” she recalled saying, and added that the moment is important in her memory, part of the reason she wants to do the work, calling it “the best thing ever.” Follo said what she’s learning about women in martial arts is that some women prefer learning in a mixed sex group and others prefer an all women’s group but both ways can be empowering. Follo also said she’s discovered a move to be more inclusive about what women view as empowering or feminist, whereas in the past there may have been a move to exclude expression of femininity in more traditional ways as not truly feminist. Follo said there’s been a willingness among that they’ve resided in the U.S. for some period of time — possibly as little as five years. That group totals around 3.8 million people, according to the Migration Policy Institute. Although Obama is not able to grant citizenship or permanent resident green cards on his own without Congress, he can offer temporary protection from deportation along with work authorization, as he has done in the past. Adjustments also are expected to the existing Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program that allowed immigrants under 31 who had arrived before June 2007 to apply for a reprieve from deportation and a work permit. More than 600,000 young immigrants have been shielded from deportation to date under the program. Removing the upper age limit so that applicants don’t have to be under 31 — one option under consideration — would make an additional 200,000 people eligible. There may also be tweaks to business visa programs to speed up visas or make more available for high-tech workers or others. Changes are also expected on the law enforcement side, including to a controversial program called Secure Communities that hands over people booked for local crimes to federal immigration authorities. A former administration official with knowledge of the plans said the Secure Communities program would be eliminated or at least renamed, although some of the concepts would remain. Priorities for immigrants to be picked up by immigration authorities will also be revised to eliminate some of the less serious conduct that previously would have caused someone to be detained, said the former official. women to say if a woman wants to put on makeup, for example, before she executes a takedown because it makes her feel good that doesn’t negotiate her status as an empowered person. “Society wants to pit different feminists against each other,” she said. What she’s finding however is a move to be inclusive and empowered, dynamics she’s lucky to study by comparing mixed sex and single sex groups. For some people, Krav Maga, developed by the Israeli military, is empowering because it focuses on meeting people where they are physically at any age and making the focus survival against a potentially more powerful opponent. The empowerment comes through the women giving themselves permission to break societal rules about what is appropriate behavior for women. Even imagining it would be the difference between life and death, it can still be very hard for some women to break through to a point where they could hit someone, essentially asserting their right to live by whatever means necessary. That reticence especially shows up when students are instructed to aim for the groin area, even in a practice situation, as she said she hears a whoosh of air go around the room, and a nervousness arise from people who are afraid they would hurt their attacker. Follo said men are socialized to see themselves as protectors of their families. “One of the things women could become aware of is they don’t have to be in the victim role,” Follo said. “They can make themselves their own protectors, and if they have a family they could choose to defend that family.” From Page A1 said. Larissa Evers prefers summer. “I like summer because you can go swimming,” she said. Noah Kelly said snow days are no competition for summer’s heat, and Joey Kronenberg summed up their feelings. “There’s no school,” he said. Test From Page A1 The measure comes on the heels of New Bremen’s schoolwide random drug testing policy for all students in extracurricular activities, which administrators said would give students an easy way to say no to peers without losing face.

ROACH: I am a 66year-old woman with moderate osteoporosis, according to a bone density test done two months ago. My T-score in the lumbar spine was -0.6; in the left hip -0.3; and in the left femoral neck -1.2. My mother also had osteoporosis and, before she passed a year ago, had sustained many falls, though she did not fracture a hip. I am wondering what your thoughts are on calcium and vitamin D supplements for myself. I have read and heard many opinions about this, some from doctors and nurse practitioners, and am not sure which way to proceed. I am a retired RN and have read and seen many ways of treating osteoporosis, though I seem to remember that it is something that doesn’t go away. Also, do you know of any contraindications to taking calcium supplements with regard to warfarin or increasing the risks of cardiac events? -- C.L. ANSWER: I am glad to tell you that you don’t have osteoporosis. What you do have is low bone mass, or osteopenia. These are similar conditions in that they both refer to bone loss, but the difference is how much bone is lost. The T score is the difference in density between your bones and a healthy young woman’s bones. A T score of zero means no difference, and a minus sign indicates that your bones have less density (meaning less calcium, roughly speaking) than healthy young bone. A T score between zero and -1 is considered normal, -1 to -2.5 represents osteopenia, and a T score below -2.5 is osteoporosis, which has a much higher fracture rate, though it still is possible to fracture a bone with osteopenia, or even a normal bone. Density is not a perfect predictor of fractures. In women with osteopenia, the goal is to prevent progression to osteoporosis. There remains some controversy about calcium supplements, so for several reasons, getting calcium from diet is preferred. The controversy is about a possible increased risk of heart disease in calcium-supplement takers in some, but not all, studies. Also, calcium supplements increase kidney stone risk, whereas dietary calcium reduces it. So, calcium from good dietary sources such as dairy, calcium-fortified juices, beans and dark, leafy green vegetables are recommended. The goal is 1,200 mg of calcium daily. I also recommend 800-1,200 IU of vitamin D for women with osteopenia as a starting point. For most people, I don’t recommend treatment of osteopenia with most drugs used for osteoporosis. —Column by Dr. Roach Auglaize County recycles Auglaize County Recycles For Saturday, Nov. 15, 2014 Minster: Village Barn, Garfield St., 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. St. Marys: City Building, Chestnut St., 8 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. St. Marys Township: Township building, 10752 SR 364, 24-hour drop-off.

Auglaize County Solid Waste Management (419) 394-1270 ‘Dumb and Dumber To’ falls flat By ROGER MOORE McClatchy-Tribune News Service (MCT) — Twenty years after they permanently lowered the bar on broad and dumb character comedies, Lloyd and Harry are back, “Dumb and Dumber” than ever in “Dumb and Dumber To.” And within moments of the opening credits, you may find yourself overcome with sentimental warmth at seeing two 50something actors as characters that the years have not made smarter. Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels energetically reprise their popular roles, and the warmth follows. Sure, it’s only trickling down your leg and never comes close to reaching your heart, but warmth is warmth, right? Those fart-joke farceurs, the Farrellys, re-team with their stars and an equally aged supporting cast for a film of occasional funny lines, random uproarious sight gags and bodily function jokes, all scented with a whiff of sad desperation. They’re “Stooges” in a post”Hangover” world, and the staleness shows. Harry visits a catatonic, bearded Lloyd in a rest home only to learn he’s been the butt of Lloyd’s 20year-long practical joke. His comeuppance? Harry enlists two groundskeepers to help him yank out Lloyd’s catheter (after changing his colostomy bag, with his teeth, of course). And they’re off, doubling up on a Schwinn to visit Harry’s estranged Asian parents and then the aged, bloated floozy (Kathleen Turner, enduring jokes about her current appearance) who supposedly had Harry’s baby and gave her up for adoption, decades ago. Harry needs a kidney donor. So the 50something “10-year-olds” motor to Maryland and then El Paso in search of the dopey bombshell (Rachel Melvin, out of her depth) who might be his donor-daughter, a “genital donor match.” The Farrellys, who peaked with the raunchy, rude and yet romantic “There’s Something About Mary” in 1998, hurl miss-or-hit sight gags and throw-away lines at us. Harry looks over 20 years of mail his parents saved for him. “Oh. I got into Arizona State!” Six credited writers and you get malapropisms such as “It’s all water under the fridge,” and “That’s just a suburban legend!” Carrey ensures that he gets almost all the funny lines here. But the fetching Miss Melvin tries her hand at a couple as her character wonders if she should “go to India and volunteer at one of those Leprechaun colonies!” The road trips, with Rob Riggle playing a malevolent schemer trying to keep them from reaching Harry’s daughter, have an epic fart joke, but too many lame zingers to get them or us all the way across the country. Carrey’s recent appearance on “Saturday Night Live” reminded us of his gift for mimicry, and his postFarrelly films have shown ambition and flashes of brilliance. Daniels has been reliably funny in a wide range of comedies over the decades. They can still bring it. Watching Carrey eat a mustard-drenched hot dog is positively Keatonesque — Buster, not Michael. Truth be told, I was never a fan of the first “Dumber,” but the stars made it endurable and convincingly stupid. Here, they’re sometimes funny, and sometimes just forlorn. They’re better than this, no matter how good they are at hiding the fact that they know it. A whole generation has grown up on the antics of these two Rhode Island rubes, so a little nostalgia isn’t unwarranted. Box office hopes for this pre-packaged but very late sequel should be high. But the strain shows in the wizened-but-not-wiser stars. It’s just that comedy left the Farrellys behind over 10 years ago, and even their best efforts at reviving their PG-13 Three Stooges style feels old-fashioned and tired. And that warmth we feel in those promising early scenes? With luck, it’ll come out in the wash. ‘DUMB AND DUMBER TO’ 1.5 stars (Grade D) Cast: Jim Carrey, Jeff Daniels, Kathleen Turner, Rachel Melvin, Rob Riggle, Laurie Holden Directed by Bobby Farrelly, Peter Farrelly.

Someday I would like to be a stay-at-home mom. I have no interest in going to college. I feel it would be a waste of money for me to go when I don’t intend to use my degree. To say my parents are disappointed in me over this is putting it mildly. They have a life planned for me that includes college. I would also like to move away to somewhere where it’s warm year-round, and they don’t like that idea either. How do I make them understand that this is MY life and everything will be OK? -- UNINTERESTED IN IDAHO DEAR UNINTERESTED: I’ll paraphrase an old proverb: “When man makes plans, God laughs.” What it means in your case is that a smart cookie stays FLEXIBLE. Let’s say, for instance, that you get the life you fantasize about: You marry a man who adores you, doesn’t mind that you have only a high school degree and is wealthy enough to support you. You have two or three beautiful children together and things are going great. But what if, heaven forbid, he becomes seriously ill and can’t work -- or worse, drops dead, leaving you the sole support of those kids? It has been known to happen. (And then, of course, there’s also the possibility of divorce, which has been known to happen, too.) Be SMART. Listen to your parents, and arm yourself with the best education you can possibly attain because the reality is, one day you may need to use it. DEAR ABBY: I frequently receive requests via Facebook and other social media sites asking for prayers for people who are ill or suffering a loss. I’m not a religious person, but I would like to acknowledge their pain and extend my sympathy. Any suggestions? -CHALLENGED IN TUCSON DEAR CHALLENGED: That you are not a religious person doesn’t mean that you’re not a caring and sensitive one.

A lot of them. After setting a modern record for fewest vetoes thanks to a Democratic Senate — just two early on in his presidency — Republicans could soon be sending him reams of legislative cannon fodder. While conventional wisdom suggests relatively few controversial bills would head to the president’s desk, because after all, Republicans will need at least six senators who caucus with the Democrats to beat back filibusters — Republicans can bypass filibusters in multiple ways if Democrats try to gum up the works. Republicans have already talked about using the budget reconciliation rules to bypass filibusters so they can put spending and tax bills on the president’s desk with their priorities — in- cluding potentially an attempt to gut much of Obamacare. They also plan to use another power to strike at the heart of Obama’s penand-phone agenda. Under the Congressional Review Act, the House and Senate can vote to block recently enacted regulations, and such votes cannot be filibustered. Back in 2011, Senate Republicans forced a vote on a resolution to block the Federal Communications Commission’s rules on “net neutrality.” ThenSen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, R-Texas, offered the disapproval resolution, which Democrats rebuffed, 46-52. Should the FCC move ahead in the coming year on rules that are in line with what Obama and the White House outlined Monday, Republicans could have the votes to send a disapproval resolution to the president’s desk. That’s after Republicans from all corners panned Obama’s announcement Monday that he supported viewing consumer broadband as a utility and encouraged FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler to ensure net neutrality. “The president’s call for the FCC to use Title II to create new net neutrality restrictions would turn the Internet into a government-regulated utility and stifle our nation’s dynamic and robust Internet sector with rules written nearly 80 years ago for plain old telephone service,” said Senate Republican Conference Chairman John Thune. “The president’s stale thinking would invite legal and marketplace uncertainty and perpetuate what has needlessly become a politically corrosive policy debate.” The South Dakota Republican is in line to take the gavel of the Commerce, Science and Transportation Commit- tee next year. That panel’s jurisdiction includes telecommunications policy. The EPA — and climate change regulations in particular — also face incoming fire from Sen. James M. Inhofe, the Oklahoma Republican in line to regain the chairmanship of the Environment and Public Works Committee. “Last year, Senator Inhofe said he would be using the Congressional Review Act on any major EPA regulation that comes out under the Obama administration, and I expect you will only see more momentum for this now that the Republicans have the majority in the Senate,” Inhofe spokesperson Donelle Harder told CQ Roll Call in an email. “There is widespread concern for how the EPA’s overbearing regulations are going to impact American job creation and the affordability and reliability of our nation’s electricity grid.” GOP eyes Officials: Cheap gas here to stay Oil price decline new CBO head WASHINGTON (MCT) — Flush from their capture of the Senate, Republicans in both chambers are reviewing more than a dozen potential candidates to succeed Douglas W. Elmendorf as director of the Congressional Budget Office after his term expires Jan. 3. They include Donald Marron, who directs economic policy initiatives at the Urban Institute and served as acting CBO director in 2006, and N. Gregory Mankiw, a Harvard economist who happened to be on the dissertation committee for Elmendorf’s doctoral thesis, according to several sources who are familiar with GOP discussions. Marron and Mankiw declined to comment. The appointment is being closely watched, with a number of Republicans pushing for CBO to change its budget scoring rules to use dynamic scoring, which would try to account for the projected impact of tax cuts and budget changes on the economy. Elmendorf, a Democrat whose past jobs include chief of the macroeconomic analysis section at the Federal Reserve, still could be reappointed an unprecedented second time after his four-year term ends next year. He is highly regarded for his professionalism and impartiality among both Republicans and Democrats on the Hill, as well as among budget experts. But that would buck a historical trend. Of the eight CBO directors since 1975, only two besides Elmendorf have been reappointed: Alice M. Rivlin, the first director of the CBO, and Robert D. Reischauer. Elmendorf was first appointed director in January 2009 to fill the unexpired term of Peter R. Orszag, who left to become President Barack Obama’s budget director. Elmendorf was then reappointed in 2011. Elmendorf has not said publicly whether he would want another term, but when asked about reappointment during a news conference in August, he said, “I love doing this job. And I’m very focused on doing it. And I’m going to worry about what happens at the end of the year when we get to the end of the year.” Another person under consideration for CBO director — G. William Hoagland, senior vice president at the Bipartisan Policy Center — said he was “flattered” to be on the list. But, referring to previous CBO directors, he added: “No way do I meet the stature of a Rivlin, Reischauer, Orszag, (Douglas) HoltzEakin, (Dan L.) Crippen or Elmendorf.” Hoagland previously worked as vice president for federal affairs for Cigna, and earlier served as a top budget aide to Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist of Tennessee and former Senate Budget Chairman Pete V. Domenici of New Mexico. Apart from Hoagland, only one other person on the list — William Beach, chief economist for Senate Budget Committee Republicans — acknowledged that he is under consideration. Beach will receive his Ph.D. in economics this month from the University of Buckingham in England. Among those being considered, according to sources, are Alan D. Viard, an economist at the American Enterprise Institute, and Alex M. Brill, a research fellow at AEI and former economist at the House Ways and Means Committee. NEW YORK (AP) — Those low gas prices on station signs aren’t going away soon, the government says. In a dramatic shift from previous forecasts, the Energy Department predicted that the average price of gasoline in the U.S. will be below $2.94 a gallon in 2015. That a 44-cent drop from an outlook issued just a month ago. If the sharply lower estimate holds true, U.S. consumers will save $61 billion on gas compared with this year. Rising oil production, particularly in the U.S., and weak spots in the global economy have led to a sharp reduction in oil prices over the past four months. Not seeing much of a change ahead, the government cut its forecast for global oil prices next year by $18 a barrel to $83. As a result, U.S. drivers will pay on average 45 cents less for a gallon of gas next year compared to this year. Based on expected gasoline consumption, that’s a savings of $60.9 billion. That may not seem like a lot in the context of a $17.5 trillion U.S. economy, but economists say it matters because it immediately gives consumers more money to spend on other things. Consumer spending accounts for 70 percent of the U.S. economy. $150 $145.3 Concerns about a global surplus of crude and slowing growth have decreased oil prices by nearly 30% since June. 2008 Price breaks $100 Weak dollar and declining production in Saudi Arabia and the North Sea.

Quinlan says the price of gasoline is one of the three big drivers of consumer confidence, along with stock prices and the unemployment rate. “Lately all three are moving in the right direction,” he says. After falling for 48 straight days, the average gasoline price in the U.S. is $2.92, the lowest since December of 2010, according to AAA. That was also the last full year when the average came in below $3 a gallon. While it’s not unusual for gas to hit its low for the year in late fall, the government is now saying that these prices aren’t just a low point, but instead will be the norm next year. Adam Sieminski, administrator of the Energy Information Administration, the Energy Department’s statistical arm, attributed the lower pump prices to lower prices for crude oil and weak fuel demand. The EIA did hedge its bet on lower oil prices though, as it cautioned that OPEC could cut production in order to push prices higher. The global price of crude has fallen by $35 a barrel, or 30 percent, since late June and closed at $80.38 Wednesday. Oil production around the world has been strong in recent years. A boom in the U.S. has pushed domestic production up 70 percent since 2008. At the same time, demand for fuels is growing more (AP) — Early enrollment for the health overhaul’s small business insurance exchanges fell far short of the 2 million workers who were expected to sign up this year. The shortfall calls into question the future of the exchanges as they begin accepting enrollment for 2015. About 76,000 people had purchased coverage on 18 exchanges through June 1, according to a report released Thursday by the U.S. Government Accountability Office. Enrollment figures from 33 state exchanges that are run through the federal government are not yet available, but researchers expect those totals to be low as well. “It’s still unclear whether or not these are going to take off in a substantial way, but we can’t assess that from where we are now,” said Linda Blumberg, an economist for the nonpartisan Urban Institute who has studied the exchanges. The Small Business Health Options Program opened this year to companies with 50 employees or fewer. Its exchanges were expected to give more options and better prices to small businesses that can pay as much as 20 percent more for their coverage than larger companies. Have Twitter?

The U.S. economy is faring relatively well, but more fuel-efficient cars and changing driving habits are keeping domestic gasoline demand low. The EIA expects demand to fall slightly next year despite the lower pump prices. The EIA also slightly lowered its prediction for growth in U.S. oil production because lower prices will force some drillers to cut back. Production is expected to reach 9.4 million barrels a day in 2015, down from a previous estimate of 9.5 million barrels per day. Still, that would be an increase of 4 percent over this year and the highest domestic crude production since 1972.

The Wapakoneta Redskins are coming off of a season-high scoring output after its 49-14 win over Talawanda. The Tippecanoe Red Devils, meanwhile, are averaging just under 40 points per game for the 2014 season. Wapakoneta (11-0) and Tippecanoe (9-2) will meet in a Division III, Region 10 semifinal Friday at Sidney Memorial Stadium in the second round of the high school football playoffs. “They’re extremely well-coached and have great players,” Redskins coach Travis Moyer said of Tippecanoe. “We expect a great challenge Friday.” Both teams feature some speedy playmakers who could hassle defenders Friday on the newly installed turf in Sidney. Tippecanoe’s top offensive performer is lanky junior Jakob Prall (6 feet, 2 inches; 173 pounds), who has emerged in a major way for the Red Devils this season. Prall — similar to Redskins’ junior playmaker Cameron Lauck — does not get the ball often offensively, but when he does, it impacts the game in a major way. This season Prall has hauled in a receiving TD every three catches, with seven TDs on 21 receptions for an average of 24.4 yards per catch. Prall is also averaging 9 yards per carry, with 928 total and eight rushing touchdowns. He even has one passing TD this year. Last season Prall totaled only 10 yards on six B Friday Kenton vs. Wooster Triway at Ashland This is a rematch of last year’s second round game, which Kenton won 46-6. Kenton romped against Port Clinton 49-14 last Friday night to win its ninth straight game. Kenton quarterback Trent Hites went 27-of37 for 525 yards and six touchdowns in that win. Kollin Stollar caught eight passes for 242 yards and five touchdowns. Spencerville vs. Tinora at Lima Sr. Staff photo/Michelle Frank Wapakoneta junior Cameron Lauck (23) carries and did not notch any receptions. Lauck — who operates in the Wapakoneta backfield and along the line of scrimmage as a wideout — is averaging one TD every five offensive touches this season. The Red Devils’ backfield is anchored by senior fullback Austin Clack (5 feet, 10 inches; 192 pounds), who was an honorable mention All-Ohio selection in 2013. Clack averages 6 yards per rush and has scored 18 touchdowns this season. Clack is roughly similar to the fullback for Wapakoneta’s primary rival — St. Marys’ Isaac Fitzgerald — who led the Western Buckeye League in rushing yards, rushing TDs and scoring in 2014. With almost 100 fewer carries, Clack has nearly stiff arms Talawanda junior Logan Keebler (4). matched Fitzgerald’s 21 rushing scores with 19 of his own. Fitzgerald also gained about 6 yards per attempt this season. St. Marys’ offense this season was what the Redskins ran the past four seasons under the same head coach, Doug Frye. “Their offense is pretty similar to St. Marys,” Wapakoneta linebacker Adam Henderson said. “It’s nice seeing that from St. Marys. We ran that offense last year. Knowing what they’re going to try to do just helps being prepared.” Tippecanoe’s offense is guided by senior quarterback Zack Blair (6’0, 175). Blair has 124 attempts this year for 1,212 yards, 13 TDs and four interceptions. Kodi Morgan, conversely, has attempted 136 passes this season for 1,119 yards, 10 TDs and two interceptions for the Redskins. Blair is coming off of a season-high 117-yard rushing performance against Kenton Ridge, with his previous best this season being 35 in one game. When the Red Devils pass, Blair usually sprints one way or another outside of the tackle box to look for receivers downfield. Although commonalities exist between Tippecanoe and St. Marys, the Red Devils also run various formations typical of spread offenses. “They present us a lot of challenges for the fact that they have the ability to go underneath center and run the ball. They have the ability to play-action pass on you and also spread you out,” Moyer said. “We’re going to have to be extremely disciplined.” The Wapakoneta defense was tested the most it has been all season last Friday in their firstround contest against the Talawanda Braves, who featured senior Maurice Thomas — a commit to Miami (Ohio) University. Thomas entered the game with a 250 yards per game rushing average with 29 TDs on the ground. The Redskins contained Thomas somewhat, surrendering 209 yards and two rushing scores to him. Thomas’ TD run on the Braves’ first drive of the game was the first rushing score the Redskins’ starting defense allowed this season. Coming off the program’s first-ever playoff victory with a 36-7 win over Crestview, Spencerville now takes on undefeated Tinora at Spartan Stadium tonight. Spencerville’s Zach Goecke ran for 151 yards on 23 carries in the win. Saturday Marion Local vs. Ft. Recovery at Wapakoneta This all-MAC matchup in Division VII is a Week 8 rematch. Marion Local beat the Indians 48-19 in that game. It was the only game out of the last five for Marion Local where the opponent has scored a point. Fort Recovery won its first-ever playoff game last week over Fort Loramie 28-7 last Friday. Coldwater vs. Huron at Tiffin Coldwater has won 11 straight playoff games dating back to the 2011 state championship game. No. 8 Ohio St. must avoid trap at Minnesota M I N NE A POLIS (AP) — With a decisive win over rival Iowa, Minnesota regained a treasured traveling trophy and forged a three-way tie for first place in the Big Ten West Division with three games to go. Coach Jerry Kill could be forgiven, though, for his reluctance to revel the rest of the weekend. “We come off a good win, and then you go home, and you’re going to kick back and relax and get you a bowl of ice cream and then you put on the TV and then you watch Ohio State,” Kill said. “So then you don’t sleep the rest of the night, you don’t get a chance to enjoy the win, and now all you do is worry about what you’re going to do.” The Gophers knew how grueling November was going to be, but about eight hours after that 51-14 humiliation of the Hawkeyes the challenge came sharply into focus. The Buckeyes dismantled Michigan State’s daunting defense with a 49-37 victory that smoothed their path to the Big Ten championship and boosted their pursuit of a place in the inaugural College No. 8 OHIO STATE (8-1, 5-0 Big Ten, No. 8 CFP) at MINNESOTA (7-2, 4-1, No. 25 CFP) Noon ET (ABC) Line: Ohio State by 12. Series Record: Ohio State leads 43-7. WHAT’S AT STAKE Ohio State, fresh from a dismantling of Michigan State’s defense, has surged forward in the push for a place in the College Football Playoff. If the Buckeyes can avoid a letdown at Minnesota, they’ll have a smooth path to the Big Ten championship with home games against Indiana and Michigan to follow. The Gophers also have their sights set on a spot in the conference title game, with a three-way tie for first place in the West Division, and an upset here would be a huge boost toward that goal. KEY MATCHUP Ohio State QB J.T. Barrett against the weather. The Gophers have a decent defense, having held Iowa to 205 total yards in a 51-14 blowout of the Hawkeyes last week. They’re fifth in the conference in points allowed and second in interceptions. Just as important will be Barrett’s ability to keep his feet and keep the Buckeyes offense humming on an afternoon with a forecast high of 26 degrees and a chance of snow. PLAYERS TO WATCH Ohio State: WR Devin Smith is second in the Big Ten with eight touchdown catches, coming off a stellar performance against the Spartans in which he had six receptions for 129 yards. Minnesota: RB David Cobb, playing his last home game, is third in the FBS in carries per game with 25.2. The Gophers are 9-2 when he reaches 100 yards rushing or more. FACTS & FIGURES The Buckeyes are 36-2 against the Gophers since losing at Minnesota in 1966. The only wins by the Gophers in that span were in 1981 at home and in 2000 at Ohio State. ... Smith has 26 career TD catches, one behind Cris Carter for second place on Ohio State’s all-time list. David Boston (34) is the leader. ... The Gophers are 6-0 at home. The last season they won all their home games was 1967. Football Playoff. Ohio State (8-1, 5-0), eighth in both the Associated Press poll and the latest CFP rankings that will determine the final four, has won 12 straight games in an opponent’s stadium. That’s the longest active streak in the FBS. The Buckeyes, though beaten by the Spartans in the conference title game last year, have won 21 regular season Big Ten games in a row. They’re 9-0 in November under coach Urban Meyer. They haven’t lost at Minnesota since 1981. That’s all part of why this matchup with the Gophers (7-2, 4-1, No. 25 CFP) could be dangerous. “This is kind of like one of those trap games. It’s going to be cold,” Ohio State defensive tackle Adolphus Washington said. “We just have to go out and play because Minnesota is what, 7-2? They’re not a bad team.” Here are some key angles to know about the Ohio State-Minnesota game: conditions will hardly be ideal for the speed-based spread option offense the Buckeyes have humming behind quarterback J.T. Barrett. “By any means, at all costs, as the coach says. The weather’s not going to be a factor. They put on their pants just like we do,” safety Vonn Bell said. They’ve played three straight night games, so this will be an adjustment in several ways. But don’t count on the Buckeyes being caught off guard by these hurdles. “You just have to go out there and play. There’s always going to be some different reason why you’re not going to play your best game, but you have to push through that,” defensive tackle Michael Bennett said. ABOUT THAT WEATHER BEYOND HIS YEARS He understands defenses really well now. And his accuracy, when he’s accurate, that’s a tough one to stop,” Meyer said. NONCOMPETE CLAUSE? The Gophers are 2-36 against the Buckeyes since 1966, last winning at Ohio Stadium in 2000. The average score of the last five matchups has been 40-9, but this will be Kill’s first shot in four years with the program. Ohio State won the last meeting, 52-10 at Minnesota in 2010. SENIOR DAY The Gophers are trying to go unbeaten at home for the first time since 1967, and this will be the last time playing in Minnesota for 22 seniors, many of whom comprised Kill’s first recruiting class.

Gordon can return to Browns on Monday BEREA (AP) — For two months, suspended wide receiver Josh Gordon has passed Browns offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan in the hallway and had the same conversation. “I always ask him how many days, and he always knows the exact number,” Shanahan said. It’s down to just a few. Gordon’s 10-game suspension for repeated violations of the NFL’s drug policy is set to end Monday, when the Pro Bowler will be allowed to rejoin his teammates after being exiled since September. The Browns, who managed to move into first place in the AFC North without Gordon, can’t wait to have their troubled, big playmaking star back in the huddle. “I can’t wait to get him back, looking forward to it,” said Shanahan, who hasn’t been able to devise a game plan that includes Gordon. “I haven’t seen him out on the football field since training camp, so we got to see where he’s at physically and everything and we’ll try to get him in there. And as soon as he’s ready to go, we’ll make sure to work to get him the ball.” Gordon had a oneyear ban reduced to 10 games on Sept. 19 for numerous failed drug tests. The Browns had feared they would be without him all season, but the lessening of his suspension will bring him back just as the club is poised to make a strong run In this Aug. 18, 2014, file photo, Cleveland Browns wide receiver Josh Gordon warms up before an NFL preseason football game.

Months of legal entanglement followed Devon Still eager to shake Payton’s hand CINCINNATI (AP) — Bengals defensive tackle Devon Still is eager to shake hands with Saints coach Sean Payton and say thanks in person for buying so many of his jerseys. Payton bought 100 of Still’s jerseys — at $100 apiece — when the lineman and the Bengals were starting a campaign to raise money for pediatric cancer research and treatment. Still’s 4-year-old daughter, Leah, started another round of treatment for cancer this week at a Philadelphia hospital. Still and Payton have talked on the phone. They plan to meet on the field Sunday in New Orleans after the Bengals (5-3-1) play the Saints (4-5) in an important game for both teams. “He’s basically what got the ball rolling with everything,” Still said. “A lot of the credit goes to him for what he did. “You can’t thank somebody the way you want to or are supposed to over the phone. It’s something you have to do face-to-face, so I’m definitely looking forward to meeting him.” Leah was diagnosed with cancer in early June and had a tumor removed from her abdomen. The Bengals decided to donate proceeds from sales of Still’s No. 75 jersey to Children’s Hospital in Cincinnati for pediatric cancer research. The team presented a check for more than $1 million to the hospital after the first quarter of a 24-3 loss to Cleveland last Thursday night at Paul Brown Stadium.

Payton was one of the first NFL coaches outside of Cincinnati to embrace the cause. His example prompted others to donate to pediatric cancer research. Payton heard about Still’s daughter on a radio program while driving his car. “Just hearing how they handled it was pretty inspirational,” Payton said this week, during a conference call with reporters in Cincinnati. “It was really spontaneous and something I thought would be a good gesture.” Payton has some connections with the Bengals. He was an assistant coach at Miami University in nearby Oxford, Ohio, in the 1990s and knows the Brown family that owns the Bengals. His familiarity with the team was a factor in deciding to support Still. “I really wasn’t familiar with Devon as a player and have obviously become more familiar with him,” Payton said. Still’s story has gotten a lot of attention from players around the league as well. Browns quarterback Brian Hoyer went up to him after the game on Thursday night to encourage him. “He was just saying that he respects what I’m doing for pediatric cancer and telling me how he gives me a lot of credit for being able to deal with what’s going on with my daughter and still be out here playing football,” Still said. Hoyer said that Still’s story resonated with him as a parent. “I can’t imagine what he’s gone through,” Hoyer said. “Reading the stories, it gets you choked up because you put yourself in that situation and with especially how demanding this job is.” Leah has gotten chemotherapy and radiation treatment. She started another round on Wednesday, and doctors hope this one will get rid of the remaining cancer cells. She’ll have another body scan in four to six weeks to see if the cancer is gone or if more treatment is needed “Hopefully this is the one and only,” Still said. Notes: Right tackle Andre Smith (ankle), linebacker Vontaze Burfict (knee), cornerback Terence Newman (knee) and running back Giovani Bernard (shoulder/ hip) were held out of practice on Thursday. Burfict has missed the last two games while recovering from knee surgery and was limping this week. ... Linebacker Rey Maualuga was limited in practice for the second day in a row. He missed the last four games with a strained left hamstring and returned to practice this week. and Gordon damaged his chances of getting any leniency when he was arrested on drunken driving charges in North Carolina. Gordon’s legal team unsuccessfully argued to an arbitrator that his failed drug test was the result of secondhand smoke and he was pushed to the sideline, forced to sit and watch for 10 games. On the brink of his return, his teammates believe Gordon is ready to atone for his missteps. “His mindset is he wants to come back and do something special in the last six games,” safety Donte Whitner said. “I don’t know if that’s go for 1,000 yards in six games or something like that, but I know he wants to do something special. I know he missed two games last year and went over 1,600, so he can do some special things.” Gordon has only been allowed to work out by himself during the suspension. When the Browns have practiced outdoors, Gordon has been confined to the indoor field house, working with a strength coach and catching passes from a machine. He’s told his teammates he’s ready. “He’s just hungry, man, just so hungry and excited to get back out here,” said Pro Bowl cornerback Joe Haden. “J.G., he loves football and he’s really, really good at it. He can’t wait to get back out here and start playing again.” NFL AMERICAN CONFERENCE East W L T Pct PF New England 7 2 0 .778 281 Miami 6 4 0 .600 249 Buffalo 5 5 0 .500 200 N.Y.

Every fall, this porch is covered with bright green MOSS -- even the ground around the porch is covered. What can you suggest that will remove this thick covering of moss? -Nancy S., Knoxville, Tenn. A tried-and-true Heloise hint! Moss can be ugly, but it’s easy to scare away and keep away! First, scrub off as much as possible with a brush. You can use a stiff broom, or a push broom if the patio is a large space. The next step? Kill it! You can use full-strength (5 percent), cheap white or apple-cider vinegar. I just pour it on the driveway, let it sit about 30 minutes, scrub and let dry. No need to rinse. Please see the photo of my driveway where I tested some vinegar at www. Heloise.com. The other option? Regular (not scented) household bleach (6 percent sodium hypochlorite) and water. The suggested ratio is 1/2 cup bleach to 1 gallon of water. Stronger is NOT better, according to the manufacturers and experts in the field. Apply and let work for at least five to 10 minutes, scrub again and rinse off. If there is vegetation where the runoff might go, do rinse with water first to avoid any damage to the plant life. -- Heloise BEETLE BAILEY BLONDIE CRANKSHAFT HAGAR THE HORRIBLE SEND A GREAT HINT TO: Heloise P.O. Box 795000 San Antonio, TX 78279-5000 Fax: 1-210-HELOISE Email: Heloise(at)Heloise. com EASY LEVEL Dear Heloise: Some smartphones come equipped with a level. You would be amazed at all the things a smartphone can do. If you don’t know what yours can do, start exploring, or look at the instruction manual. -- Annabelle, via email Instruction manual? Who reads the instruction manual? I do! Yes, it may seem boring to some, but there is a lot of information you don’t know in those pages. Don’t cross your eyes! Just thumb through a few pages at a time, mark the new information and move on. -- Heloise RETAIL ZITS TRAVEL HINT FAMILY CIRCUS DENNIS THE MENACE Dear Heloise: When traveling, it’s sometimes hard to tell which clothes are dirty. When I take clothes off, I turn them inside out. I can see which have been worn and which are clean. When I get home, I can throw them right into the washer. -- Ray from New York Love the travel hint! I put the dirty ones in a plastic laundry bag from the hotel. No guessing or odor! -- Heloise LOST FAMILY PHOTOS Dear Heloise: A family member had damage to his home and lost all of his family photos. Our family and friends got together with our photos and put the ones that our relative might want together. We made copies and gave them to him. He and his family were so grateful that we gave them a little of what they had lost. -- Haddie in Illinois GARAGE SALE YOUR DAILY HOROSCOPE For Saturday, Nov. 15, 2014 Dear Heloise: My son collects small toys from kids meals at restaurants, birthday parties, etc. I save them for the next garage sale. The children who come with parents get to pick one toy for free. -- Patty in Iowa (c)2014 by King Features Syndicate Inc. ARIES (March 21 to April 19) VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Travel for pleasure and a chance to talk to people from different backgrounds will thrill you today. The bottom line is this: You want to have fun! (It’s a good date day.) Take some time to work alone or behind the scenes today, because you can do something to make a difference at home or for a family member. Research will go well. Relations with partners and close friends are much improved today. What a relief. Just go with the flow and enjoy the company of others, especially loved ones. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Activity with a female friend today will delight you. This could be lunch, a meeting or just a fun conversation. This person will invigorate you! Family discussions will go well today, especially about inheritances, shared property and anything having to do with shared expenses. People are willing to cooperate today. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You can get a lot done by working in tandem with someone today, especially a partner or close friend. Their energy will keep you going, and vice versa. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) This is a productive day at work, no question. You’re prepared to work hard to get results, and at the same time, you are observant and caring about others. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) The Moon is still in your sign! Fortunately, things are much better than yesterday. Enjoy movies, sports events, the arts, the theater, playful times with children and all social occasions. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Enjoy being high-viz today, because others admire you. And yes, they will talk about you. But you look good, so don’t worry! SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Grab every opportunity to expand your horizons today. Explore further education, training, talking to people from other countries and, of course, travel, if possible! CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) You might be pleased with how matters are settled regarding insurance issues or shared property. However, this is not your day to ask for a loan or mortgage. Don’t spend money today in any way. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Your efficiency at work might suffer somewhat due to shortages and delays. Just accept this, and don’t be too hard on yourself or others. Life is short (and fat). YOU BORN TODAY You are patient, brave and never back down from a challenge. You are also passionate and surprising in romance. (And memorable!) You plan when to speak and when to act. Settle your debts this year to prepare for financial accumulation in the next three years. To clear away indebtedness is the thrust of this year. Consolidate your affairs for future growth. Birthdate of: Shailene Woodley, actress; Sean Murray, actor; Jonny Lee Miller, actor.
