to paper towels and bot-tled water, Ed Fry, accom-panied by a local corporatepilot, Eric Kindig, toppedoff the tanks and departedfor New York City.The pilots reported “an

uneventful flight,” and re-turned home around 8p.m. Tuesday.As Fry and Kindig were

winging their way homefrom their mission ofmercy, another aircraft,this one much larger wascarrying out a similar mis-sion.The 445th Airlift Wing,

out of Wright-PattersonAir Force Base in Fair-born, was tasked with themission of flying to Mc-Chord Air Base, south-west of Tacoma,Washington, to pick upequipment and crewmembers from Eugene,Oregon-based FranklinContracting, Incorpo-rated. The crews normallywork for BonnevillePower Company on theWest Coast but have con-tracted to work 28straight 16-hour dayshelping to restore powerto affected areas on theEast Coast.Franklin Contracting

vice president of opera-tions Scott Rowland, whowas one of 17 workersmaking the trip on thisflight, said, “It is hard tosay no to something likethis.” Rowland noted thatthey will send a total of 40crew members, ninepickup trucks, a buckettruck and all their tools tohelp in the relief effort.Tuesday’s flight cargo

included loaded fourtrucks and two trailers,along with 17 men andtheir equipment.Once loading was com-

plete, the aircraft de-parted the Pacific Coastbase bound for the EastCoast and McGuire AirBase in New Jersey,nearly seven flight hoursaway.With off-duty crew

members and power crewmembers napping wher-ever they could find a spot,the aircraft flew throughthe night.As dawn began to break

over the eastern seaboard,the giant C-17 descendedthrough a solid cloudcover to its destination atMcGuire Air Base.Once on the ground,

crews began the task of of-floading men and equip-ment.One of the New Jersey

ground crewman was acivilian, Bob Miles. Thelocal resident describeddamage done to his imme-diate area as minimal.“We got lucky,” Miles said,“we only lost power forfive days.” Miles went onto say that the damage inhis area was “nothingcompared to the shore,”not many miles away.The six-man crew of the

C-17 departed McGuireAir Base after about anhour on the ground.As the aircraft made its

way toward clearer skiesin Ohio, loadmaster, ChiefMaster Sergeant RichardStandridge, was askedabout the 16-hour mis-sion. The 35-year AirForce veteran said, “Younever have a shortage ofvolunteers for humanitar-ian missions.”CMSgt. Standridge

could not have known, buthis words also describedthe hard work and dedica-tion of Ed and Cathy Fryand their partners fortheir mission, Eric Kindigand Mark Rogers.

conditions as part of amoresweeping attempt to reducedeficits and restore theeconomy to full health.While the impending

“fiscal cliff” dominates thepostelection agenda, thepresident and Republicanshave other concerns, too.Obama is looking ahead

to top-level personnelchanges in a second term,involving three powerfulCabinet portfolios at amin-imum.And Republicans are

heading into a season of po-tentially painful reflectionafter losing the presidencyin an economy that mighthave proved Obama’s polit-ical undoing. They alsohave fallen deeper into theSenate minority after thesecond election in a row inwhich they lost potentiallywinnable races by fieldingcandidates with views thatvoters evidently judged tooextreme.One major topic for GOP

discussion: the changingface of America.“We’ve got to deal with

the issue of immigrationthrough good policy. Whatis the right policy if we

want economic growth inAmerica as it relates to im-migration?” said former Re-publican Party ChairmanHaley Barbour. Obamadrew support from about 70percent of all Hispanics.That far outpaced Romney,who said during the Repub-lican primaries that illegalimmigrants should self-de-port, then spent the gen-eral election campaigntrying to move toward thepolitical middle on theissue.The maneuvering on the

economy the dominantissue by far in the cam-paign began even beforeObama returned to theWhite House from hishome town of Chicago.After securing a second

term, the president is com-mitted to bipartisan solu-tions “to reduce our deficitin a balanced way, cut taxesfor middle class familiesand small businesses andcreate jobs,” and he toldcongressional leaders asmuch in phone calls, theWhite House said.Boehner, whose anti-tax

Republicans renewed theirHousemajority onTuesday,said GOP legislators were“willing to accept new rev-enue under the right condi-tions.” That means taxreform and economicgrowth rather than raisingrates, he emphasized, andaccompanying steps to reinin the government’s bigbenefit programs.

came through,” Welbaumsaid. “I am very pleasedthat the voters supportedme like they did and I amvery grateful to the votersand all of my supporters.They are the ones whomade this victory happen.”He said the race was a

“wonderful adventure”and he said his campaignvolunteers “made it an ex-citing and pleasurable ex-

son to spend at least $10.“We’ll work with the

store in advance so theycan prepare staff, plan tostay open a little later thannormal, and be ready forthe business,” Swishersaid. “If 20 people spend$10, we’re putting $200more into that stores in-take that day.”According to Swisher,

businesses are chosenbased on many factors, in-cluding the fact that theyare locally owned and havea commitment to support-

ing their community.Swisher notes, “When

you shop local, you investin your community, in yourneighbors, and in your-selves. The best return oninvestment in this eco-nomic climate is local busi-nesses.”To learn more about the

I’mwriting this before the election. I don’t know theresults. I fear for the results just as the oppositiondoes. But no matter the results, we Americans can

learn about our democracy from a humble, smallwoman from faraway Asia.Maybe we Democrats won the election. Maybe the

senator who I think may be the best Ohio senator inmemory has won back his seat. Maybe the possiblepresidential match to Roosevelt, Truman and Eisen-hower has been reelected and maybe he will have aCongress that will cooperate with him to get somethings done on unemployment, housing and debt.Maybe this man will rise to our expectations of him

as a president and maybe we will rise to our own ex-pectations of ourselves as a country.Or maybe we lost.Maybe the guy won whom we regarded as a phony

patrician, a guy born on third base and sneering atthose who have not gotten a hit and wanting to rationbats to those in the bat-ter’s circle. And maybeOhio has a new senatorwho looks and acts as ifhe hasn’t gotten out ofprep school. We liberalsmay have our nightmareof a Republican Presi-dent, Senate, House andSupreme Court.Then I have to won-

der and worry whichMitt we elected. Thesemi-liberal governor or the far-right campaigner? Themoderate with the puppy-dog-eyes smile or the smugand contemptuous frat boy giving his opinion of the 47percent to his country club pals?So what will we have with Romney and Ryan? Prob-

ably Bush II on steroids. This would mean more taxbreaks for the rich, striking down of more rules andregulations that control greed in our banks and corpo-rations, more invitations to the coal, oil and gas com-panies to despoil our environment and more SupremeCourt justices to rule for corporation versus individualrights — and on and on.Conservatives will think the exact opposite.So where do we go from here? Well, if we liberals

lose, we will probably try and stop this march to whatwe see as assured oligarchy. We will go to the streets.We will filibuster in the Senate.We will do everythingwe can to bring the conservative agenda to a screech-ing halt. And if the conservatives lose, America willcontinue with the rheumatoid loggerhead governmentof the past four years.Or we could listen to a frail, petite Asian woman who

can give us a lesson in democracy that all of us seem tohave forgotten.Aung San Suu Kyi is from Myanmar (Burma). She

won the Nobel Prize in 1990, America’s CongressionalGold Medal this year and almost every other awardgovernments can give for courage in fighting fordemocracy and social justice. Before her release in2010, she had spent 15 of the past 21 years in jail orunder house arrest, almost all of them in solitary con-finement. She has escaped an assassination attempt.After being freed, she led and won the fight to have

elections and then she saw it nullified by the regime.She has faced down a tyrannical, brutal governmentand been the lightning rod for change to democraticrule. She has given up 21 years of her life, lived in fearfor her life and lost much of her health to achieve thebeginning of democracy and the rule of law for Myan-mar—what we here were born with and what we heretake too much for granted.Let’s listen to some of her words. “…genuine toler-

ance requires an active effort to try to understand thepoint of view of others…”“It is not power that corrupts but fear. Fear of losing

power corrupts those who wield it and fear of thescourge of power corrupts those who are subject to it.”And finally, the most pithy advice from this wise,

brave and humble woman. “We must learn to compro-mise without regarding it as humiliation.”I believe in the liberal agenda with all my heart but

I know we must meet somewhere in the middle. It’slong past time here in America that we abandon thepolitics of obstruction and realize that compromise isnot a humiliating sign of weakness nor a lack of zeal —it’s the way you govern in a democracy.

To the Editor:First, thank you to Amy

Fashner and Jill Rank ofthe First PresbyterianChurch.Amy had the ideaand Jill did the leg work.Amy suggested that theBradford Resource ask forthe help of the high schoolto possibly trick or treatfor food instead of candysince the pantry was solow. Jill thought it was agood idea and since shestill has a child in schoolshe said she would askthem if this would be pos-sible.That was all it took, the

school thought it was agood idea and put the Stu-dent Council and the BCrew into motion and itresulted in well over 500items for our food pantry.We now know it will be agood Christmas for all inneed in our little commu-nity. What a wonderfulthing for us, our town def-initely is a caring commu-nity and on behalf of theResource Center MaryAlice and Debby say agreat big thank you andwe hope this might be ayearly event.Also, please remember

to get in your forms forChristmas, if you needhelp, along with proof ofincome by Nov. 18. Youmay pick up forms fromMary Alice at 407 PattyDrive or Debby’s at 125School St. or at the school,library or your churches.Once again, thank you,

JACK ROBINSONColumnist

Commentary

WATE R V I L L E ,Maine — He wasborn on a pioneer

farm 14 miles east of here,graduated first in his classfrom the tiny Baptist collegeplanted precariously on abarren bank of the Ken-nebec, set out West to be-come a river-townschoolteacher, prepared forthe ministry, drifted intojournalism — always re-maining true to the teachings of hischurch, his family and the hymns theysang around a crude Maine countryhearth: His job on Earth was to cleansethe world of sin.It was for that reason that, fired by

idealism about the divine mission of theyoung country and full of revulsion overits stain of slavery, he became an out-spoken abolitionist. In his reckoning, hewas but a sentinel of the Lord. In thereckoning of his enemies in frontier Mis-souri, a slave state, and abolition oppo-nents in Illinois, a free state, he was asymbol of northern arrogance and igno-rance.On Nov. 7, 1837, Elijah Parish Love-

joy became America’s first martyr to thefreedom of the press. His story is barelyknown outside Alton, Ill., where he died,and Waterville, where his alma mater,now known as Colby College, is prepar-ing to celebrate his legacy. But his is anAmerican story of heroism, nobleness ofcharacter and enduring moral grandeur,and it bears repeating at this week’s175th anniversary of his death.Lovejoy’s life was uplifting and his

death brutal. His abolitionism trans-formed tucked-away Alton into a fierycenter of the slavery debate, and hispaper emerged as a booming voiceagainst bondage in a town that devoutlypreferred serenity to sermons. Threetimes his press was destroyed by his op-ponents. On Nov. 3, 1837, Lovejoy ad-dressed the town:While I value the good opinion of my

fellow-citizens, as highly as any one, Imay be permitted to say that I am gov-erned by higher considerations than ei-ther the favor or the fear of man. I amimpelled to the course I have taken, be-cause I fear God. As I shall answer it tomy God in the great day, I dare notabandon my sentiments, or cease in allproper ways to propagate them.Like Martin Luther King Jr., whose

remarks eerily foreshadowed his deathin April 1968, Lovejoy acknowledgedthe risk he was taking in November1837:If the civil authorities refuse to pro-

tect me, I must look to God, and if I die,I have determined to make my grave inAlton. I have sworn eternal oppositionto slavery, and by the blessings of God Iwill never turn back. With God I cheer-fully rest my cause. I can die at my post,but I cannot desert it.Four days later, Lovejoy arranged for

a fourth press to be transported stealth-ily by riverboat to Alton, where it wasplaced in a stone warehouse. Wordleaked out. A mob appeared. Epithetsand rocks were hurled. Shots rang out.The mob prepared to set the rooftopafire. Lovejoy ran out to prevent it. Hewas shot dead two days short of his 35thbirthday.Moments later, members of the mob

entered the warehouse, rushing past hisbody in their zeal to dismantle the ob-ject of their fear, the press itself. Theydropped its parts from windows. Thenthey smashed what remained.

But they did not silencehim. Today the name ofthe shooter and the identi-ties of the mob membersare unknown, but thewords of the martyr en-dure, if only to a smallband of scholars and jour-nalists. Here are some ofthose words:There is no way to es-

cape the mob but to aban-don the path of duty, and

that, God helping me, I will never do.Lovejoy did not abandon his duty, and

Colby did not abandon its onetime starstudent. Since 1952, the college has pre-sented the Lovejoy Award to a journalistof courage selected by a group of editors.(I have served on this committee for sev-eral years, an homage to Lovejoy and tomy two brothers, who hold Colby de-grees.)The winners have included such press

icons as Murray Kempton, John Seigen-thaler and Daniel Pearl, along with re-cent veterans of the wars in Iraq andAfghanistan (The New York Times’ JohnF. Burns), upheaval in the Middle East(NPR’s Soraya Sarhaddi Nelson) anddrug-related violence in Mexico (theDallas Morning News’ Alfredo Cor-chado). This year’s winner is Bob Wood-ward, one of the principal WashingtonPost investigators of Watergate.“Lovejoy’s life is a lesson right out of

Reporting 101,” says Woodward, whoSunday will present an address inColby’s stunning white Lorimer Chapel.“The things we revere go back morethan a century. There’s a straight linebetween what he did and what we aretrying to do today.”Hardly anybody listens to valedictory

addresses at college commencementsand even fewer remember or quotethem. But like almost everything aboutLovejoy, his stands out. This is what hetold the six other members of the Classof 1826 (no worries about huge lecturehalls in those years):Let us pursue with unwavering aim

the course we may determine to pursue.Let it not be said of us that our almamater has sent us forth into the worldin vain. Let us cherish those kindredfeelings which have so often been awak-ened over the pages of classic eloquenceor under the still purer influence of theMuse — and when called to give up ouraccount for the talent committed to ourcase, may it not be found that we haveburied it in the dust.How we might wish that some mem-

ber of the Class of 2013 at Colby, or atits dreaded rival Bates, or anyplace inthis green and pleasant land might de-liver such a valedictory address, andlive to serve out its purpose.It turns out that Lovejoy’s death oc-

curred 25 years before the Battle ofAntietam, the deadliest day in Ameri-can history. That Union victory gaveLincoln the opening to issue his Eman-cipation Proclamation.It also turns out that, though Lovejoy

was buried in the dust of Alton, all of usin the profession he ennobled are, as hewould put it, called to account. Let ushope that, though battered and belea-guered by the crisis of the contemporarypress, we have not been sent forth intothe world in vain. And to the cry of “Re-member the Maine!” we might add this:Remember this son of Maine!

DEAR ABBY:AsVeter-ans Day approaches, mayI share a few guidelinesthat can be helpful wheninteracting with veteransor service members?1. It is never OK to ask

a veteran if he or she haskilled someone or to jokeabout it. If we have, wecan’t even talk about itwith our spouses, muchless a stranger.2. When you thank us

for our service or pay forour meal, it is really ap-preciated.We also appreci-ate packages and notes.3. Please don’t tell us

that wars are a waste ofdollars or lives or werefought for oil. What wehear is that, in your opin-ion, our best friend diedfor nothing. We knowmany people disagree withwar, but it’s better to keepyour opinions to yourself.4. Many of us now have

PTSD. If you see us actinganxious or moving awayfrom crowds, turning ourbacks to the wall or fidget-ing, simple kindness or alittle distraction will beappreciated. Talk to usabout something interest-ing and give us somebreathing room.5. Please remember that

15 percent of those whoserve in the military arewomen, and some havebeen in combat. It’s betterto ask, “Are you a vet-eran?” rather than, “Wasyour husband a soldier?”6. As with any person

who has a disability,please do not stare at us.We can be sensitive aboutour scars or injuries andwould prefer not to beasked to relive a difficultexperience by beingquizzed about what hap-pened. Please also under-stand that war injuriestoday are very differentthan in the past and areoften not visible. It is notOK to tell someone they“don’t look disabled” or ap-pear to need help.Those of us with disabil-

ities appreciate light con-versation and assistance ifwe look like we are inneed.It was my pleasure to

serve our country.— AMANDA C., U.S.

ARMY DISABLEDVETERAN

DEAR AMANDA C.:Thank you for your serv-ice. And thank you, too, foryour helpful suggestions,which are sure to be ap-

preciated not only by civil-ians, but also by activeand retired members ofour military.Readers, as the war in

Afghanistan winds down,many thousands of servicemembers are returninghome and entering the jobmarket. Please, if possible,honor their courage, dedi-cation and sacrifice bydoing your part and pro-viding them with employ-ment. Considering whatthey have done for us, it isthe least we can do toshow our appreciation.

DEAR ABBY: I’mafraid I’m an abusive girl-friend. When I get mad atmy boyfriend, I yell at himand call him names. Some-times I hit him. Eventhough he really makesme angry, I do love him.I’m not crazy, but I don’t

know how to control my-self. It’s not like I’mthreatening to kill him.I don’t want to go to

counseling or groupclasses. I don’t really hithim a lot. I yell more. Ialso have jealousy issues.What can I do?

— PROBLEMGIRLFRIEND

DEAR GIRLFRIEND:Your concern is justified,because you ARE an abu-sive girlfriend.While I ap-plaud your growingself-awareness, it is veryimportant that you under-stand the reasons you arebehaving this way so youcan stop. While you maynot like the idea of coun-seling or group angermanagement classes, itwould be much better ifyou went voluntarilyrather than one day hav-ing them court-mandated.

Some plays in bridgeare so rare that it is notworth the effort to try toremember them so you’llknow what to do the nexttime they arise. You wouldbe better advised to hope

that if the rara avis pres-ents itself again, you’ll beable to find the winningplay by relying on yourown common sense.Take this case where

South reached fourspades on the biddingshown and West led theten of hearts. Declarerwon with the queen, Eastfollowing with the deuce,led a club to dummy’squeen and returned thenine of spades, losing toWest’s queen.It was at this point that

West made a most re-markable play. He re-turned the king ofdiamonds! This left Southwith no way to make thecontract, regardless of

how he continued.In practice, he won the

king of diamonds with theace and led anothertrump. West took his aceand returned the jack ofdiamonds to dummy’squeen. East ruffed and ex-ited with a heart, and de-clarer later lost anotherdiamond trick to go downone.West’s king-of-

diamonds return was notjust a wild shot. He haddeduced from the biddingand play that South hadthe diamond ace and wasalso likely to hold three orfour diamonds. Westtherefore could visualizethat after he regained thelead with the trump ace,

East would be able to ruffdummy’s queen of dia-monds, most likely result-ing in defeat of thecontract.Note that West had to

lead specifically the kingof diamonds to stop thecontract. If he returned,say, the jack instead, de-clarer would win withdummy’s queen and re-turn a trump to West’sace. When West nowplayed the king of dia-monds, East could ruff ordiscard, but either waySouth would make fourspades.

Tomorrow: Biddingquiz.

�� Contract Bridge — By Steve Becker

BY CHRISTY LEMIREAP Movie Critic

For anyone who cringed just a littlewhile watching the trailer for “Lincoln”and worried that it might be a near-parody of a Steven Spielberg film, withits heartfelt proclamations, sentimen-tal tones and inspiring John Williamsscore, fret not.The movie itself is actually a lot

more reserved than that — more awonky, nuts-and-bolts lesson aboutthe way political machinery oper-ates than a sweeping historicalepic that tries to encapsulate theentirety of the revered 16th presi-dent’s life. That was a smart moveon the part of Spielberg andscreenwriter Tony Kushner, aPulitzer prize-winner for the play“Angels in America” who alsowrote the script for Spielberg’s“Munich.”Talky and intimate but also sur-

prisingly funny, “Lincoln” focuseson the final four months of Abra-ham Lincoln’s life as he fought forthe passage of the 13th Amend-ment to the Constitution, abolish-ing slavery, and strove to unite anation torn apart by the Civil War.(It is based partly on Doris KearnsGoodwin’s best-seller “Team of Ri-vals: The Political Genius of Abra-ham Lincoln.”) This tumultuousperiod provides a crucible to dis-play everything Lincoln was madeof, both his folksiness and fortitude.He tells long, winding anecdotes toenlighten and charm those aroundhim but also forcefully hammershome his points to get what hewants.Totally unsurprisingly, Daniel Day-

Lewis inhabits the role fully. He disap-pears into it with small details andgrand gestures, from his carriage tothe cadence of his speech, and theAcademy should probably just givehim the best-actor Oscar now and getit over with. Although “Lincoln” itselfoften feels too conservative, stagey andsafe, Day-Lewis’ performances is full ofso many clever choices that he keeps itcompelling.

Of course, the film has all the top-notch technical hallmarks we’ve cometo expect from Spielberg: It’s hand-somely staged and impeccable in itsproduction design. But despite the dra-matic streaks of misty white lightstreaming from the outdoors into thesedark, solemn rooms of power — a sig-nature of his longtime collaboration

with Oscar-winning cinematographerJanusz Kaminski — “Lincoln” is muchmore muted from an aesthetic stand-point than last year’s equally old-fash-ioned “War Horse.” This is a moviethat’s easier to admire than love; it’simpressive but not exactly moving.But it is unexpectedly humorous.

The process of cajoling and coercingmembers of Congress to vote for pas-sage of the amendment provides sev-eral estimable character actors withwonderfully showy roles. Tommy Lee

Jones does a spin on his cantankerousscreen persona as the quick-witted,fiercely verbal Republican congress-man from Pennsylvania, ThaddeusStevens, a strong proponent of aboli-tion. David Strathairn is the sharp-minded and condescending Secretaryof State William Seward, who was Lin-coln’s foe before becoming a member of

his cabinet.There are almost too many

great supporting players in juicy,tantalizingly small parts. You’dlove to see more from all of them,including Lee Pace as a grand-standing Democrat railing againstthe amendment on the House ofRepresentatives floor, MichaelStuhlbarg as a conflicted congress-man, Hal Holbrook as the power-ful Lincoln ally Preston Blair andJackie Earle Haley as the vicepresident of the Confederacy. Andthen there are James Spader, JohnHawkes and Tim Blake Nelson asthe cynical, glad-handing triohired to lobby the toughest De-mocrats and secure those final,crucial votes; their banter is a con-sistent source of laughs.It gets to the point where major

figures in Lincoln’s life — SallyField as his wife, Mary Todd Lin-coln, and Joseph Gordon-Levitt ashis elder son who’s eager to seecombat — don’t register as power-fully as they should because thescript is just so packed. And thateffort to contain so much history inone feature film especially extendsto the ending. This is no spoiler —we all know what happened toLincoln — but there’s a beautifully

photographed moment that occurs be-fore his assassination that would haveleft the film on the most perfectlylovely, poignant note.Instead, it keeps going — and be-

comes the movie you might havefeared “Lincoln” would be.“Lincoln,” from DreamWorks Pic-

tures and 20th Century Fox, is ratedPG-13 for an intense scene of war vio-lence, some images of carnage andbrief strong language. Running time:150 minutes. Three stars out of four.

WILLOUGHBY (AP) —Do youwant to see a changein your life? Does a friend orsomeone inyour familyhavea need? Or maybe you justwant to worry less. Then …praymore.When people pray, God

acts.The Bible says that themoment we pray, the tide ofthe battle begins to turn.God works in response toour prayers.A father andhis daughter

were doing yard work infront of their country home.There had been a hugestorm a few days prior. Sobefore the fathermowed thelawn,he asked his daughterto remove fromthegrass thebrush and branches thathad fallen from the trees.The daughter toiled,

made heaping piles anddragged the brush off into awoodedarea.But thereweremany large, heavy treebranches that she couldn'tmove. She tried and tried.And after many attempts,the girl called out to her fa-ther, "Dad,I can't…therearetoo many heavy branches,especially the branch thatbroke off and fell from ourgrannyapple tree.I just can-not move them in my ownstrength."Standing off to the side of

the yard, the father hadbeen watching his daugh-ter's efforts. He walked nextto her and paused. "I knowthat you have been tryingvery hard to clear thebranches," he responded."Yes," she uttered. The

breezes cooled their warm-ing faces."But youhave forgotten to

do one thing," the fathersaid. "And if you do that onething, you will be success-

ful."Perplexed, the daughter

stood still and listened.Then, she quickly ques-tioned, "What is it that Ineed to do, dad?"The father tenderly

replied,"I've been closebyallalong, and I am able to helpyouwithanythingyouneed.Yet,youdidn't askme togiveyou a helping hand. So justask and see what happens."Relieved andgrateful, the

girl asked, "Will you pleasehelpme?"With a grin on hisface, the father said, "Of

course." Then, together, thefather and daughter got toworkandquickly cleared thelawn.What are you asking and

praying for today? Whatwould you like God to do foryou?Asking is significant to

the victory of the undertak-ing, as we can't solve ourproblems or reach our high-est potential in our ownstrength.Prayer is anoppor-tunity for us to talk to Godand to draw closer into Hispresence. Just as an earthlyfather ormotherwantsus tocome to them with our con-cerns and requests, so doesour Heavenly Father.Hence, pray earnestly,

boldly, and with faith. Giveyourself over to prayer likenever before.Then, continueto persevere andwait for the

HandofGod tomove inyourlife.Maybe you are worried

about a situation. Pray, forGod is saying: Do not letyour hearts be troubled.Trust inMe. (John 14:1)It could be that you're

frustrated and ready to giveup. Pray, for God is saying:Wait for Me. Be strong, andlet your heart take courage.(Psalm 27:14)Possibly,you can't seemto

get over something thathappened long ago. Pray, forGod is saying: Forget the

past and look forward towhat lies ahead. (Philippi-ans 3:13)You may not know which

way to turn. Pray, for God issaying: I will instruct youand teach you in the wayyou should go. I will counselyou and watch over you.(Psalm 32:8)Perhaps, the report does-

n't look good.Pray, forGod issaying: I will restore healthto you, and your wounds Iwill heal. (Jeremiah 30:17)Or else, the dreams of

your heart have not yetcome topass.Pray, forGod issaying: I will direct yoursteps. (Proverbs 3:5-6)There is nothing happen-

ing right now that God can'tchange for the better at amoment's notice. God is notlimited, so trust in God'sfaithfulness for the outcome.

Try this: Make a list of an-swered prayers in the past.Do you rememberwhen youprayed,andGodblessed youwithnewopportunities,newfriendships and new joys?Do you recall when Hehealed a loved one, met aneed and brought you suc-cessfully through a diffi-culty?God is the same God.You

don't have to live on yester-day's blessings. In due time,He can answer your prayersagain and again and again.Many businesses today

have answering services. Ifyou call the office, you couldbe put on hold, directed toanother department or youmay have to just leave amessage.Butwhenyoupray,Godwill answer the call per-sonally! Thus, pray in themorning, at noon, and in theevening.Pray for others.Liftup your voice toGod.Talk toHimall day long.One simpleprayer can give you a mira-cle.Goingback to theBible, in

John17:4,JesusandHisdis-ciples were approaching theGarden of Gethsemane.Jesus was sorrowful overHis impending death. First,He was teaching His disci-ples, and next,Hewas pray-ing His great prayer to theFather, uttering, "I havebrought you glory on earthby completing the work yougave me to do." To bringglory to God should be ourultimate goal, as well.So pray, believe and ex-

pect God to do great things.Theanswer to yourprayer iscloser than you maythink…and you will live thelife of peace, joy and victorythat God has designed foryou.

PIQUA — In the first quarterof this school year Greg Hawk hasbeen able to show off his abilitiesto be a humorous and delightfulteacher. He has taken a liking to

Piqua High School’s environment,staff, and students.“There is a vast majority of stu-

dents who care about what theyare doing, and they tend to bevery respectful,” Hawk said. “Theadministrators, teachers, and stu-dents appear to be an intercon-nected family.”Besides Hawk’s yearning to be-

come a weatherman at a youngage, he first discovered his aspi-ration to become a math teacherin the fourth grade. Hawk at-tended Olentangy High School inNorth Columbus. During the fouryears he was there, he partici-pated in marching band, golf, ten-

nis, jazz band, and even playedpiano for the school’s musical per-formances.After graduating high school,

he attended college at Miami Uni-versity for four years to receivehis bachelor’s degree in math, andmath education.He also had to gothrough small field experiencesinvolved in teaching, and then hespent a semester teaching stu-dents. Since then he has reachedhis goal in the teaching field, andhas enjoyed working with kids.“I want to have the same im-

pact on students that other teach-ers had on me. I want to be a lifechanger,” Hawk said. He admits

to being a little nervous when hefirst started here at PHS. Hisoverall emotion was excitementbecause he found the teachers tobe friendly, and he sees the stu-dents as his inspiration.“At the end of the school year I

hope that the students I’ve hadlearn to believe in themselves;that they can do anything theywant,” He continued. “I wantthem to use what I’ve taughtthem in math and use it in vari-ous situations like the discountsin stores.”Hawk also mentioned that he

likes pumpkin pie, and he justcan’t get enough of it to eat.

Lehman = 42 yearsof Catholic education

BY STEPHANY MCELDOWNEY

Even though we walk through the halls ofLehman every school day, only a select few studentsprobably know the true history behind our school.

In 1884, the Third Plenary Council declared thatin two years, every Catholic parish would begin aschool, or the pastorwould be replaced.

Holy Angels Parish,with the help of the Sis-ters of Charity, foundedthe first Catholic highschool in the ShelbyCounty area. St. Mary’sParish in Piqua alsobegan a high school andgave out the first fouryear high school diplomain the area.

In 1924, St. Bonifaceadded a high school program, but later decided tosend students who desired to get a high schooldiploma to St. Mary’s, later called Piqua CatholicHigh School.

By 1970, it was decided to consolidate PiquaCatholic High School and Holy Angels High School.The Holy Angels building which was housing grades7-12 was relatively new, so they added a five roomaddition to accomodate the additional students fromPiqua.When both high schools came together, theHoly Angels seventh and eighth grades were movedback to the Holy Angels elementary building indowntown Sidney.

After all of the changes, they renamed the con-solidated school Lehman, after Monsignor EdwardC. Lehman. Father Lehman was the pastor at HolyAngels for 34 years.

A renovation campaign in 1980 provided newwindows and doors for the school. In 1996, groundwas broken for a new addition and the Lehmanbuilding was expanded with new classrooms, sci-ence labs, music and art rooms, media center,larger gym, and chapel. The new addition was dedi-cated in 1997.

Our school now provides Catholic high schooleducation to students in a five-county area from 15different school districts. A lot has changed sinceCatholic education began in this area of Ohio in1884 and Lehman has come a long way over thelast 42 years.

Let’s go to Bergamo!BY ALLY BERGMAN

With December drawing closer, there are many ex-citing things right around the corner: the beginning ofAdvent, holiday shopping, and for Lehman seniors, theKairos retreat.

December 4 marks the beginning of the voyage toKairos, and the senior leaders are busy preparing forthe trip which is held at Bergamo Retreat Center inDayton. Senior Ethan Jock said, “We are writing ourtalks, choosing the music, and making sure every-thing’s ready to go.” Fellow leader Katie Rossman ad-mits she truly enjoyed the experience last year whenshe went as a junior leader. “I cried a lot. It was a life-changing experience. It gave me a new perspective onlife and made me realize that we need God in our livesno matter what.”

First-timers like Tharon Goins are anxious for theretreat. “I’m very excited for Kairos. I’m packing plentyof snacks.” While making sure all the snacks arepacked is important, selecting the junior leaders is an-other top priority.

Junior leaders are chosen to go with the seniors sothey can learn the ropes to be able to lead their own re-treat next year. The junior leaders selected this yearare Gabe Berning, Patrick Blenman, Grace Frantz,Katie Heckman, Jenna Kronenberger, Kristopher Lee,Patrick Pudlewski, Meghan Safreed, Olivia Sehlhorst,and Lauren Vanderhorst. “I’m looking forward togoing and excited to see what we will be doing,” saidLee.

Kairos can be a life changing event. Faculty leaderJoe Schmiesing hopes the experience, “helps the stu-dents be open to the grace of God.”While some seniorsare a bit nervous about the retreat, others are anxiousto begin the journey.

Mass and seminariansBY KENNEDY MCIVER

Every Friday at Lehman is special for the students be-cause Fridays are the days we have all school Masses,but on Frida,y Nov. 16, with more students.

Father Hess, Lehman chaplain, will be leading thisspecial Mass along with several other priests. Studentsin grades 4-8 in our partner schools — Piqua Catholic,Holy Angels, Holy Rosary, Immaculate Conception, SaintPatrick, and Saint Mary Greenville — will travel toLehman for Mass and a special day of activities.

At 9:40 a.m., the students will arrive and our amaz-ing Praise and Worship music group will play for them togive them some entertainment until 10 a.m., when theMass will start. After Mass, Dr. Jim Rigg, Superintendentof Schools for the Archdiocese of Cincinnati, will speak.Then half of the group will have lunch and the other halfwill take a tour of the school. After both groups are fin-ished, they will switch.

Seminarians will join us for some basketball and willalso give a vocation talk. One seminarian is very specialto the Lehman community and is actually a Lehman grad,Ethan Moore. The elementary students will travel homearound two, but Lehman students will not have to go backto class; we will help clean up and after a long day of fun,and then be dismissed.

“The purpose of this Mass is to build unity among ourpartner schools and celebrate together as a Catholiccommunity,” said Lehman Principal Denise Stauffer. “It’salso an opportunity for the younger students to be able totour our school and learn more about vocations from ouryoung seminarians.”

Lehman welcomes everyone in the community to at-tend this special Mass on Nov. 16 in the Schlater Familygymnasium at Lehman.

Our Lehman crest tells our historyBY EMILIE CAVINDER

Some Lehman students may be wondering about the meaning of the crest that theywear on their shirts every day. Very few know what each of the four symbols we see onthe crest mean.

Three represent the three Catholic parishes that first formed Lehman.The Holy An-gels Wings of Sidney are represented in the top left quadrant. The crown of St. Mary’sof Piqua is in the top right corner. St. Boniface of Piqua is represented by a mitre, orreligious headgear worn by a bishop. The bottom right quadrant is the lamp of knowl-edge, representing the academic excellence of our school.

These four parts are linked together by a chain which symbolizes them all coming together.

CASSTOWN — Members of theMiami East FFA Chapter recently do-nated dozens of books to the elementarylibraries of three schools that partici-pated in the Miami East Ag Day in May.The books will be available for all the el-ementary students to learn about wheretheir food comes from and gain a betterunderstanding of agriculture in theirlives. The schools donated to includeTroy City School’s Cookson Elementary,Troy City’s Concord Elementary andMiami East Elementary.These books were selected from an ap-

proved list provided by the AmericanFarm Bureau Federation and Ohio FarmBureau as recipients of Children’s Liter-ature Medal for accuracy in agricultureand farm-friendly.One of the books donated was the

2012 Ohio Farm Bureau’s Award forChildren’s Literature Winner, “How DidThat Get In My Lunchbox? The Story ofFood,” by Chris Butterworth. The bookwas chosen because it is a clear, engag-ing look at the steps involved in produc-

ing some common foods. Healthy tipsand a peek at basic food groups completethe menu.Another of the books donated was the

2011 Winner – “Seed Soil Sun” by CrisPeterson. This book highlights theprocess by which air and water combinewith seed, soil, and sun to create nearlyall the food we eat. Using the corn plantas an example, readers learn the story ofgermination and growth of a tiny cornseed into a giant plant. The book alsodiscusses the make-up of soil and thecreatures that live there from micro-scopic one-celled bacteria to moles,amoebas, and earthworms.This donation was made possible in

part to the financial support of theMiami East FFA Alumni and the MiamiCounty Farm Bureau. The ScholarshipCommittee of the Miami East FFAChapter coordinated this activity. Com-mittee members include Chairs Made-line Davis and Haleigh Maggert, ChaseFulghum, Jordan Inman, Dylan Moore,and Kristin Palser.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP)—WellPoint Inc.’s third-quar-ter earnings trumped WallStreet expectations but thehealth insurer’s stock sankWednesday, a day afterPresident Barack Obama’sre-election helped securethe future of his health careoverhaul.The overhaul aims to

cover millions of uninsuredpeople starting mostly in2014, which means morebusiness for insurers. Butthe fees and restrictions itimposes on the sector areexpected to squeeze profits,especially for companieslike WellPoint that focus alarge portion of business oncovering individuals andemployees of small compa-nies.Shares of WellPoint and

othermajor health insurersfell at a steeper clip thanthe 2 percent decline of theStandard & Poor’s 500index in Wednesday after-noon trading.Citi analyst CarlMcDon-

ald said in a research noteWellPoint’s resultswould beviewed “quite favorably”without the election’s im-pact.“There’s been an under-

current of concern amongmany regarding the poten-tial for bad news out ofWellPoint’s third quarterearnings, but the trepida-tionwasn’t warranted,”Mc-Donald wrote, noting thatthe insurer easily beat ex-pectations.WellPoint reported net

income of $691.2 million, or$2.15 per share, in the threemonths that endedSept.30.That’s up 1 percent from

$683.2 million, or $1.90 pershare, a year ago.Excluding investment

gains, adjusted earningswere $2.09 per share.Analysts expected $1.83

per share, according toFactSet.The insurer’s revenue,

also excluding investments,was relatively flat at $15.13billion, and that fell short ofanalyst expectations for$15.3 billion.WellPoint said its enroll-

ment slid more than 2 per-cent to about 33.5 millionpeople compared to lastyear.The company operatesBlue Cross Blue Shieldplans in 14 states, includingCalifornia, New York andOhio.WellPoint had not

recorded a quarterly in-crease in earnings com-pared to the previous yearsince the first quarter of2011, and the insurer’s per-formance had frustratedseveral large shareholders.Chairwoman and CEOAn-gela Braly abruptly re-signed with about a monthleft in the third quarter, andthe company named JohnCannon, its executive vicepresident and general coun-sel, to serve as interimCEO.Wednesday’s stock de-

cline erased the 5 percentgrowth shares had seensince Braly left.For the overhaul, insur-

erswill start paying annualfees in 2014 that total $8billion that year and riseafter that. The law also re-stricts how much insurerscan vary their pricing basedon things like age andhealth,key tools they use toensure that they haveenough money to pay med-

ical claims.The overhaul alsowill re-

quire them to cover every-one who applies starting in2014, even those alreadysick with expensive condi-tions such as diabetes. Ad-ditionally, the lawstipulates that insurersspend certain percentagesof the premiums they col-lect on care or pay rebatesto customers.Aside from the fees and

restrictions, investors alsoworry that about online ex-changes that will be set upas part of the overhaul tohelp people compare andbuy insurance policies.They’re concerned thatthese exchanges will takecustomers from the more-profitable employer-spon-sored coverage market,Morningstar analyst MattCoffina said.The overhaul also stirs

worry about Medicare Ad-vantage plans, which areprivately run versions ofthe government’s Medicareprogram for the elderly anddisabled.The law cuts fund-ing to these plans, and thatcould hurt profits in thisfast-growing segment.But Coffina also said he

thinks WellPoint is posi-tionedwell for the overhaul.He said the company hasexperience selling individ-ual policies and a well-rec-ognized brand that shouldhelp it do business on theexchanges.WellPoint plans to spend

between $200 million and$300 million next year toprepare for the 2014 cover-age expansions, and ChiefFinancial Officer WayneDeVeydt said he expectsstrong enrollment growththat year.

COLUMBUS (AP) —Mitt Romney won most ofOhio geographically, whilePresident Barack Obamawon where the most voteswere to win the pivotal bat-tleground state again.The Democrat racked up

votes in Ohio’s majorurban/industrial areas, andRepublican Mitt Romneycarried nearly everywhereelse. Obama was able totake the 18 electoral voteshe and Romney fought sohard for by winning itsmost populated areas.He carried the six

biggest counties in terms ofvotes, and eight of the top10. He won two-thirds ofthe vote in the biggestcities, according to exit pollresults for The AssociatedPress and the televisionnetworks.That was enough to off-

set strong showings byRomney in GOP-domi-nated suburbs and ruralareas. Romney won aboutfive of every six countiesstatewide.With all precincts re-

porting unofficial returns,Obama won by more than107,000 votes, or nearly

50.2 percent, of 5.4 millionvotes cast, according toOhio Secretary of State tal-lies.That was down from2008,when he carried Ohioover John McCain with51.5 percent of the vote,more than 262,000 votesahead of the Republican.Obama’s support of fed-

eral help for an auto indus-try bailout was agame-changer, said theGOP state chairman, BobBennett.“The biggest determin-

ing factor was that wecouldn’t handle the auto-mobile bailout issue,” Ben-nett said Wednesday.“That’s where we signifi-cantly underperformed.”Voter samples indicated

wide support for theObama-backed autobailout, helping an indus-try with plants and thou-sands of jobs in the state.The Romney campaign hadmade a late effort in Ohioto undercut Obama’s sup-port on that issue, withRomney emphasizing hislong ties to the auto indus-try in Michigan and pro-Romney ads belittling thepresident’s efforts as help-

ful to China.Union voters who nor-

mally make up a biggerchunk of the presidentialelectorate in Ohio than inother swing states favoredObama 60 percent to 38percent, indicating not onlysupport for the auto indus-try bailout but lingeringfallout from the 2011 moveby Republicans to restrictcollective bargaining forpublic employee unions.Also, Ohioans whose fami-liesmake less than $50,000a year supported the presi-dent by a 3-to-5 margin,exit polls showed.Bob Rockenfield, 70, of

Cincinnati, voted for Rom-ney, but saidWednesday hefelt Republicans are “justnot getting across to peo-ple.”He thinks Obama won

Ohio because of his appealto union workers and mi-norities, “and also playingup that Romney was thiscountry club rich boy andhe was for the middleclass.”Frank Hocker, 67, a re-

tiree who once worked at atruck manufacturing plantin Springfield, said he was-

n’t a single-issue voter, butObama won his praise forhelping the auto industry.“When Obama stuck his

neck out and did the rightthing with GeneralMotors,you know, that satisfiedme,” Hocker said.Some conventional

thinking may be changedby the two most recentpresidential elections.Once, Ohio’s three

biggest cities were consid-ered this way: Clevelandsolidly Democratic, Cincin-nati Republican, andColumbus a swing area.But Obama has now car-ried the Cincinnati andColumbus areas twice,racking up 60 percent inColumbus-based FranklinCounty, besides easily car-rying Cleveland. Obama in2008 became the first Dem-ocratic presidential candi-date to carry HamiltonCounty (Cincinnati area)since Lyndon B. Johnson in1964.Appalachian Ohio had

been a swing region, withBill Clinton carrying ittwice. Romney expandedon McCain’s success there,winning three eastern

Ohio counties Belmont,Jefferson and Monroe thatlast voted for a Republicanpresidential candidate in1972 with Richard Nixon.In rural counties where

voters often put faith con-cerns first, Romney wonabout 60 percent of thevote. Exit polls indicatedRomney was more popularthan Obama among voterslooking for a president whoshared their values.But Obama did much

better with voters who felthe cared about their every-day concerns.“I guess in a way we see

ourselves in him,” said Do-minique Crittenden, 25, anurse’s assistant in Cincin-nati. “I felt like when hespoke, he spoke to me. Ididn’t feel that Romneyspoke to me.”There appears to be a

widening generation gapamong Ohio voters.For two consecutive elec-

tions, young voters haveturned out in bigger num-bers than they had in thepast. And they again deci-sively backed Obama by a2-to-1 margin. But thesame held true for seniors

who voted Republicanagain, while middle agevoters and those nearingretirement age edged overto Romney after leaningObama in 2008.That could give Republi-

cans opportunities, becauseOhio’s population is grow-ing older, as Baby Boomersreach or near retirement.Ohio’s 65-and-older popu-lation increased by nearly8 percent in the decadeending in 2010, comprising14.3 percent of the state’spopulation.Bennett said he is opti-

mistic that the GOP canalso do better in urbancommunities with effectivehandling of the economy,given that they are thehardest hit by joblessnessand poverty. RepublicanGov. John Kasich’s ap-proval ratings have goneup as the state’s employ-ment picture has im-proved.One Ohio trend that

hasn’t changed: the statehas now voted for the win-ning presidential candidatein the last 13 elections.Andno Republican has wonwithout Ohio.

President Obama wins Ohio behind biggest cities

Stock sank after election

Mark Jewell • APSource: Credit Suisse

Health care. Clean energy. Construction and engineering. These are three of the key industries that financial analysts point to as beneficiaries of a second term for President Barack Obama.

Although the election removed some uncertainty, Wednesday marked one of the steepest market sell-offs of the year. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index

fell 2.4 percent as investors worried about potential tax increases and spending cuts that could stall the economic recovery if Congress doesn’t act before Jan. 1. Worries over a deepening recession in Europe also pushed the market lower. Even so, several stocks poised to benefit from Obama’s re-election rose, including hospital operators like HCA Holdings, up 9 percent.

Obama’s victory will help preserve the continued implementation of his health care overhaul, which aims to cover millions of uninsured Americans. A wide range of health care companies could benefit, from hospitals to nursing homes, diagnostic labs and generic drug makers.

Obama backs the idea of a federal clean-energy standard that would require the use of more low-carbon energy sources, such as wind and solar for electricity and advanced biofuels and batteries in cars.

Democrats are expected to provide additional backing for housing programs, benefiting homebuilders and materials suppliers. Also, a greater push for infrastructure spending is expected under Democrats, given their emphasis on raising tax revenue compared with Republicans’ focus on spending cuts.

KiOR (KIOR)Solazyme (SZYM)MEMC Electronic Materials (WFR)

Cummins (CMI)Deere (DE)Quanta Services (PWR)

Here’s a snapshot of industries investors should keep an eye on, and some stocks that Credit Suisse analysts say are poised to benefit from Obama’s victory and have given a buy rating.

He also will be recog-nized during the collegiateHeisman Trophy broad-cast Dec. 8 on ESPN2.“To get on ESPN, it’s

going to be really excit-ing,” Prakel said. “I’m ex-pecting it to be a once in alifetime chance, and it’sgoing to be something I re-member for a long time.”By becoming one of six

boys to compete for theboys Heisman onWednes-day, Prakel received a goldmedal and a $2,000 awardto be donated to VersaillesHigh School.“I’m just happy for him

because he works so hardat everything he does, andit’s nice to get rewarded inthis fashion in front of theschool,” said Prakel’s fa-ther, Mike.The Wendy’s High

School Heisman award isawarded to high schoolseniors who have goneabove and beyond in aca-demic, athletic and com-munity pursuits, andaccording to his coaches,friends and family, that’sexactly what Prakel does.“I’ve always been proud

of Samuel because hechooses to do the rightthing, both from a moral,academic and physicalperspective,” said Prakel’smother, Christy.If Prakel would win the

Wendy’s High SchoolHeisman in December, hewould receive a $10,000donation from Wendy’s toVersailles High School, acrystal High School Heis-man trophy and a $500Wendy’s gift card.On Wednesday, the

ESPN crew also was thereto follow Prakel through-out the day for the upcom-ing television ceremony.“It’s a little overwhelm-

ing. I don’t know what toexpect,” Prakel said.Prakel was selected

from more than 45,000high school senior appli-cants to move on to thefinal stages of the award.ACT, Inc., an educational

testing provider, selectedPrakel as its Ohio male fi-nalist.“He works hard both in

the classroom and outsidethe classroom. He’s agreat kid,” Versailles Ath-letic Director Mike Paulussaid. “He’s nice to every-body and works hard.He’ll help anybody thatasks for help.“He’s just a great

worker. He totally embod-ies what the Heisman isall about.”According to Paulus,

Prakel is one of the beststudents at Versailles andlikely will graduate asthis year’s valedictorian.He also enrolls in ad-vanced classes and is in-volved in the band andmarching band.“It’s just all the teachers

and coaches allowing meto participate in so manydifferent activities,”Prakel said. “Putting mydedication into sports,band, student council andmany activities that Ienjoy doing.“That expectation that

our town has for commu-nity service and helpingothers, I’ve tried to rise tothat.”After Prakel was se-

lected as the Ohio winner,a new Wendy’s Heismanpanel of judges specificallychose him to become oneof six male finalists to flyto New York City for thefinal award ceremony.Program judges include

education, business andsports representativesalong with former collegeHeisman and High SchoolHeisman winners.“It’s tremendous for

Samuel. He’s always beena team guy, and it’s reallynice to get some individ-ual praise,” Versaillescross country coach MarkPleiman said. “Everythingthat he does is always totry and help everybodyelse out, so it’s great to seehim get this award just forbeing Samuel.”

Change throughouteverywhere — top, bot-tom, everywhere, organi-zationally."The Browns are 40-81

since Cribbs made the ros-ter as an undrafted rookiein 2005. In all that time,the only winning seasonhe experienced was 2007,when the Browns were 10-6. That was sandwichedinside two 4-12 seasons.Cribbs has played with

quarterbacks Trent Dilfer,Charlie Frye, Derek An-derson, Brady Quinn,Jake Delhomme, ColtMcCoy and now BrandonWeeden. Seven season-opener starting quarter-backs in eight years is nota recipe for winning asCribbs sees it. If Bannermakes changes at generalmanager and head coach,the new people in chargecould decide Weeden isn'tthe answer."I think the reason we

haven't been winning isconstant turnover," Cribbssaid. "You have constantturnover in players. Youhave constant turnover incoaches when you don'twin. If we don't win,there's going to be moreturnover in players andcoaches."Guys who have been

here long,myself and Phil,we see that. Differentguys come here, you can'tget tight knit. It's hard tohave a type of consistencywith anything when youhave so much change. Sohopefully somebody comesand just makes it constantso we can get somethingstarted."This was not supposed

to be a two-year planwhen Holmgren hiredShurmur in 2010. If itwere, the current roster

would not be stocked with17 rookies and 10 moreplayers with fewer thantwo years in the league.Two players from thatgroup, linebacker CraigRobertson and offensivelineman Jarrod Shaw,were on the practicesquad last year, so theyare virtual rookies.But on the first day of

training camp, news brokeRandy Lerner was sellingthe team, and a weeklater, the Browns belongedto Jimmy Haslam. Every-thing accelerated.Despite what fans

might think after seeingHaslam's reaction cap-tured by CBS cameraswhen Shurmur chose topunt on fourth-and-1 inIndianapolis last month,Shurmur said the newowner does not grill himwith strategy questions orsecond-guessing whenthey get together. And gettogether they do, often atpractice. Haslam did notresign as CEO of his PilotFlying J company to be asilent owner in the NFL.He is all in as owner of theBrowns."We talk in general

teams, big picture, but interms of an (Haslam giv-ing Shurmur an) outlineor ‘This is where I'm look-ing,' and ‘This is how toquantify it,' I would sayno," Shurmur said. "WhatI sense in my conversa-tions with Jimmy is hispassion for making thisthing right, and we allknow what that means."We're all trying to get

the black and white, thehard numbers right, but Ithink each situation is dif-ferent. Some organiza-tions have further to go tobuild a consistent winner.”

make a play or you’ll make a mistakeand we’ll end up scoring the point.“A lot of teams this year have looked

and said ‘how did they beat us?’ Lastyear, too. And it’s that mental toughnessand physical ability to finish.”From there, the ball goes to one of the

Vikings' two setters, Abby and SamCash.Both are multi-tool players that can

put the ball wherever they want fromanywhere on the court, either setting orhitting.Abby Cash, another of the team's

three seniors, was the Cross CountyConference Player of the Year, and bothher and Sam Cash earned first teamAll-Ohio honors this season.From there, the ball could go to liter-

ally anyone.Abby Cash, in addition to being the

career leader in assists, is the school'scareer leader in kills, and fellow outsidehitters Sam Cash, Angie Mack andTrina Current can put the ball away, too.Or they could go to senior Leah Duni-

van — who was honorable mention All-Ohio — or Ashley Current in the middle.And no matter who's setting it up or

putting it down, the Vikings are solidacross the board."Especially with the hitters we have,

we know the hitters can handle it really

well," Sam Cash said of the rare two-set-ter offense."It's pretty much the same whoever

sets it," Mack said. "It's not like you haveto adjust your approach if Sam sets it orAbby does. Both do a great job.""It's all about having faith and trust

in your teammates," Millhouse said.Even the reserve players are a neces-

sary part of the machine — whether ornot they get on the floor in a match."We have to have someone on the

other side of the net in practice, or wewon't grow," Dunivan said. "They helppush us and prepare us.""I believe any one of them could play

— even start — for any other team,"Abby Cash said."All the way down to the last person,

when we pull people up, the same ex-pectations follow that are on thestarters," John Cash said. "When we putsomeone in, we expect you to perform.“That's your job.And they understand

that. They've had great people to look upto so far as work ethic."They've filled their roles. If we need

someone to step up and score, they cando it. If we need someone to play greatdefense, they can do it. And each one ofthem knows that — that's the cool part."And what makes the Vikings so hard

to beat.

CINCINNATI (AP) —Peyton Manning came totown last weekend andhad his way, sending theBengals to their fourthstraight loss by throwingthree touchdown passes.Now, it's little brother's

turn to try to push Cincin-nati one loss closer to alost season.Eli Manning and the

New York Giants (6-3)come to Paul Brown Sta-dium on Sunday lookingto extend the family's his-tory of success againstCincinnati. Peyton im-proved to 8-0 against theBengals by leading Den-ver to a 31-23 win lastSunday.Eli is 1-1 career against

the Bengals (3-5), whohave lost their last threehome games.

"This week with thisManning, we've got to dothose things we didn't dolast week with the lastManning," defensive endCarlos Dunlap said.The back-to-back visits

by the Mannings were setup by the schedule rota-tion.The NFC East plays the

AFC North this season,giving Eli a chance to faceCincinnati. And the AFCNorth plays the AFCWest,Peyton's new place.And they're taking full

advantage.Peyton and Eli talked

by phone on Tuesdayabout their most recentgames — the Giants lostto Pittsburgh at home onSunday afternoon. Peytonshared some of his first-hand insights into the

Bengals defense, whichcouldn't hold a fourth-quarter lead."So, Eli, we've been re-

sources for each other,"

Peyton said. "And cer-tainly I pull hard for himand keep up with him andwe encourage each other."The two of them talk a

couple of times each week,soon after the last gameand then again a few daysbefore the next one. Theycatch up on their personallives and trade tips andideas about the teamsthey'll be playing.Their back-to-back

games against the Ben-gals gave Peyton a chanceto provide an in-depthscouting report."We have a little bit dif-

ferent style of offense, butthere always might be atip or two that you mighthave eventually found butcoming in, you can look forcertain things," Eli saidWednesday on a confer-ence call. "So we definitelytalked a little bit."What they shared

stayed private, but someof it isn't hard to guess:

Watch out for cornerbackTerence Newman and ex-pect a better effort out of adefensive line that hardlyeven touched Peyton.The Broncos quarter-

back threw a pair of inter-ceptions — both toNewman, one of them inthe end zone — thathelped the Bengals pullahead early in the fourthquarter. Peyton pulled itout with his 48th game-winning drive, the most inNFL history.The Bengals didn't sack

Peyton and hardlytouched him with theirfour-man rush."If you look at Peyton's

career, he never getstouched," Dunlap said."That's Peyton. Hisscheme is for him to nevertouch the ground.”

Another week, another ManningBengals defense looks to slow down Peyton’s little brother
