The Troy High School Class of1993 left behind more than a seniorcommunity service project when itlandscaped the front of its highschool with “THS” in greenery andrailroad ties.In late September, maintenance
workers unearthed a “time capsule”— a Mountain Dew bottle containinga piece of paper with all the names ofthe students who first built the hom-age to their high school on May 27,1993.One of those seven names includ-
ed 1993 student council presidentMark Evilsizor, now Troy High
School social students teacher.“I had forgotten all about it until
(Troy High School Principal) Bill(Overla) brought it to my classroom –I didn’t remember that we hadburied anything!” Evilsizor said.Workers unearthed the plastic
two-liter bottle while removing therotted railroad ties, which were even-tually replaced with pavers lastmonth.The note simply stated: “Proudly
built by Senior Student Council MenMembers on May 27, 1993.” The noteincluded the names of the studentcouncil members who first built thelandscape in front of the Troy HighSchool as part of its senior project.The names included: Eric Grenert,Evilsizor, Josh Zigler, Billy Twiss,Matt Cotner, Ben Stormer and JoeWilliams and student council adviserS. Edward Abram.Evilsizor said the landscape proj-
ect was a huge undertaking, especial-
ly on the last day of their senior yearafter pulling an all-nighter at theschool grounds for a last campout.“I remember working on it — it
took all day,” Evilsizor said. “It was aneat idea to put that there and see it19 years later.”Evilsizor said he clearly remem-
bers digging and preparing the land-scape project, which took well beyondthe six hours needed to fulfill thecommunity service project beforegraduation.“It was 80 degrees and we were
out front digging holes and liftingrailroad ties and I remember all theguys looking at me and saying, ‘Whatin the world were we thinking?’”Evilsizor said with a laugh.Evilsizor said he plans on showing
off pictures of the note at the class of1993’s 20th reunion next summer.Overla said he has enjoyed readingthe posts on the Troy High School’sFacebook page where he downloadeda picture of the letter. Alumni, stu-dents and community enjoyed it.

Big Birdnow apart ofelectionNEW YORK (AP) Big
Bird has never been so hot.“Saturday Night Live,”
Jimmy Fallon, PiersMorgan, the “Today” showand “Good MorningAmerica” all asked forappearances from the“Sesame Street” characteron Thursday after he wasunexpectedly thrust intothe presidential campaignby Mitt Romney.Sesame Workshop says
the giant yellow Muppet isdeclining all appearances,but there was this tweetfrom Big Bird on theSesame Street account:“My bed time is usually7:45, but I was really tiredyesterday and fell asleep at7! Did I miss anything lastnight?”Yes, Bird. During
Wednesday’s debate withPresident Barack Obama,Romney called for cuttingfederal funding to PBS,despite saying, “I love BigBird.” It renewed a long-running debate over subsi-dies to public broadcasting.“I’m going to stop the
subsidy to PBS,” the formerMassachusetts governor, aRepublican, said during adeficit-cutting discussion.“I’m going to stop otherthings. I like PBS. I loveBig Bird. I actually likeyou, too, Jim (Lehrer, PBSnewsman and debate mod-erator). But I’m not goingto … keep on spendingmoney on things to borrowmoney from China to payfor it.”Obama brought up his
opponent’s plans for BigBird during a campaignstop Thursday in Madison,Wis.“I just want to make
sure I’ve got this straight:He’ll get rid of regulationson Wall Street, but he’sgoing to crack down on‘Sesame Street,’” Obamasaid of Romney. “Thankgoodness somebody’s final-

ly cracking down on BigBird! Who knew that hewas responsible for allthese deficits! Elmo’s gotto watch out!”PBS chief Paula Kerger
said she “just about fell offthe sofa” when the issue
suddenly came up duringthe debate. She said that ifthe subsidy goes, so willsome PBS stations.Federal funding for the
Corporation for PublicBroadcasting totals $450million this year, account-ing for about 15 percent ofthe CPB’s budget, she
said. Federal money sup-plements the budgets ofPBS’ 179 stations nation-ally. For some of the small-er stations in rural areas,this subsidy accounts formore than half of theiryearly budget, so manycan’t operate without it.Considering Romney
stressed the importance ofeducation, she said shehopes he realizes theextent of educational pro-gramming that PBSoffers. Four out of five chil-dren under age 5 watchpublic television, where“Sesame Street” is a long-running hit, she said.“To me, public televi-
sion is like mom and applepie,” she said. “Maybe it’sbecause I’m just too closeto it. Maybe it’s because Italk to so many people forwhom public television isa lifeline.”But public broadcast-
ing funding has been a fre-quent target of congres-sional Republicans, whobelieve PBS and NationalPublic Radio favor liberalpoints of view.“It is demoralizing to
have our work put in themiddle of this debate,”Kerger said. “We don’tbelong here.”The issue quickly
became a hot topic onsocial media, whereTwitter reported a peak of17,000 tweets per secondabout Big Bird. The hash-tag (hash)SaveBigBirdquickly sprouted up.New York Times colum-
nist Nicholas Kristoftweeted: “Hey, I figuredout how Romney will bal-ance the budget: sale of TVrights to broadcast thedecapitation of Big Bird.”
For several years,“Sesame Street” has pro-duced videos and othermaterials for thePentagon to help childrendeal with parents’absences during tours ofduty as well as otherstresses suffered by thechildren of troops.Asked at a Pentagon
briefing whether theDefense Departmentwants to see its relation-ship with the programcontinue, press secretaryGeorge Little sidesteppedthe question.“I will say that we’ve
had a long-lasting andeffective partnership with‘Sesame Street’ and theyhave supported militarychildren,” Little said. “ButI’m not going to get intopolitics here I wouldn’twant to ruffle any feath-ers, so to speak.”Sesame Workshop, the
producers who make“Sesame Street,” notedthat while it is not part ofPBS, it depends on thestations to distribute itswork.“Sesame Workshop is a
nonpartisan, nonprofiteducational organization,”said Sherrie Westin,Sesame Workshop spokes-woman. “We do not com-ment on campaigns, butwe’re happy we can allagree that everyone likesBig Bird.”

“It was cool to see some-thing you were a part of —but the landscape looksgreat now,” Evilsizor said.Evilsizor said he knows
where many of the otherguys are who were listedwith him on the treasuredfind, including Josh Zigler,
who was his best man inhis wedding to his wife —and Troy High School staffmember Loren — whom hemet at Ohio University.Evilsizor said the class
of 1993 had several proj-ects throughout the highschool because it was thefirst class to sell the fabled“Troy vs. Piqua” football T-
shirts, which raised a lot ofmoney for student council.“We didn’t want the
money to just sit there sowe came up with the land-scaping project, which stillwas just bushes and some,probably donated, railroadties,” Evilsizor said.Evilsizor said he can’t
quite remember whose idea
it was to bury the bottlewith the note recognizingtheir labored efforts.“I’m glad they found it
but, man, it looks so muchbetter now,” said Evilsizorwith a laugh.Overla said he enjoyed
hearing the history aboutthe first “THS” landscapeproject and the time cap-
sule.“Now we know how it
got started and the historybehind it — kind of cool,”Overla said.To see a photo of the

NEW YORK (AP) —The potential scope of themeningitis outbreak thathas killed at least fivepeople widened dramati-cally Thursday as healthofficials warned that hun-dreds, perhaps thou-sands, of patients who gotsteroid back injections in23 states could be at risk.Clinics and medical
centers rushed to contactpatients who may havereceived the apparentlyfungus-contaminatedshots. And the Food andDrug Administrationurged doctors not to useany products at all fromthe Massachusetts phar-macy that supplied thesuspect steroid solution.It is not clear how
many patients receivedtainted injections, or evenwhether everyone whogot one will get sick.So far, 35 people in six
states Tennessee,Virginia, Maryland,Florida, North Carolinaand Indiana have con-tracted fungal meningi-tis, and five of them havedied, according to theCenters for DiseaseControl and Prevention.All had received steroidshots for back pain, ahighly common treat-ment.In an alarming indica-
tion the outbreak couldget a lot bigger,Massachusetts health
officials said the pharma-cy involved, the NewEngland CompoundingCenter of Framingham,Mass., has recalled threelots consisting of a total of17,676 single-dose vialsof the steroid, preserva-tive-free methylpred-nisolone acetate.An unknown number
of those vials reached 75clinics and other facilitiesin 23 states between Julyand September, federalhealth officials said.Several hundred of thevials, maybe more, havebeen returned unused,one Massachusetts offi-cial said.But many other vials
were used.At one clinic inEvansville, Ind., morethan 500 patients gotshots from the suspectlots, officials said.At two clinics in
Tennessee, more than 900patients perhaps manymore did.The investigation
began about two weeksago after a case was diag-nosed in Tennessee. Thetime from infection toonset of symptoms is any-where from a few days toa month, so the numberof people stricken couldrise.Investigators this
week found contamina-tion in a sealed vial of thesteroid at the NewEngland company,
according to FDA offi-cials. Tests are under wayto determine if it is thesame fungus blamed inthe outbreak.The company has shut
down operations and saidit is working with regula-tors to identify the sourceof the infection.“Out of an abundance
of caution, we advise allhealth care practitionersnot to use any product”from the company, saidIlisa Bernstein, directorof compliance for theFDA’s Center for DrugEvaluation and Research.Tennessee has by far
the most cases with 25,including three deaths.Deaths have also beenreported in Virginia andMaryland.Meningitis is an
inflammation of the lin-ing of the brain andspinal cord. Symptomsinclude severe headache,nausea, dizziness andfever.The type of fungal
meningitis involved is notcontagious like the morecommon forms. It iscaused by a fungus oftenfound in leaf mold and istreated with high-doseantifungal medications,usually given intra-venously in a hospital.Robert Cherry, 71, a
patient who received asteroid shot at a clinic inBerlin, Md., about a
month ago, went backThursday morning afterhearing it had receivedsome of the tainted medi-cine.“So far, I haven’t had
any symptoms … but Ijust wanted to doublecheck with them,” Cherrysaid. “They told me tocheck my temperatureand if I have any symp-toms, I should reportstraight to the emergencyroom, and that’s what I’lldo.”The New England
company is what isknown as a compoundingpharmacy. These pharma-cies custom-mix solu-tions, creams and othermedications in doses or informs that generallyaren’t commerciallyavailable.Other compounding
pharmacies have beenblamed in recent yearsfor serious and some-times deadly outbreakscaused by contaminatedmedicines.Two people were blind-
ed inWashington, D.C., in2005. Three died inVirginia in 2006 andthree more in Oregon thefollowing year. Twenty-one polo horses died inFlorida in 2009. Earlierthis year, 33 people inseven states developedfungal eye infections.Compounding phar-
macies are not regulated
as closely as drug manu-facturers, and their prod-ucts are not subject toFDA approval.A national shortage of
many drugs has forceddoctors to seek custom-made alternatives fromcompounding pharma-cies. The steroid suspect-ed in the outbreak hasbeen in short supply.The New England
company at the center ofthe outbreak makesdozens of other medicalproducts, state officialssaid. But neither the com-pany nor health officialswould identify them.The company said in a
statement Thursday thatdespite the FDA warning,“there is no indication ofany potential issues withother products.” It calledthe deaths and illnessestragic and added: “Thethoughts and prayers ofeveryone employed byNECC are with thosewho have been affected.”A 2011 state inspec-
tion of the Framinghamfacility gave the businessa clean bill of health.

Monroe TownshipTrustees passed a resolu-tion Oct. 1 to discontinuethe Monroe Townshipmonthly recycling pro-gram, citing that between8:30-11:30 a.m. Oct. 13 andNov. 10 to be the final datesto hold this event at thetownship maintenancefacility on Michaels Road.The board noted exorbi-
tant costs for this programin recent years cannot con-tinue to justify use of town-ship tax dollars for a pro-gram where only 80-100individual households inthe township participateeach month.When the township
recycling program began in1990, there were no optionsavailable for curbside pick-up by waste haulers in theunincorporated areas ofMonroe Township. Nowthere are curbside recy-
cling options by varioustrash haulers as well asother local sites whererecyclables can be droppedoff at no charge. The town-ship plans to provide edu-cational literature to cur-rent participants andtownship residents in gen-eral that will detail properhandling of recyclablematerial and to list localoptions for recycling stillavailable to township resi-dents. There are plans todevelop news and/or con-tinue other existing recy-cling education programsin partnership with TippMonroe CommunityServices, the MiamiCounty Sanitary Engineersand other agencies as maybe appropriate.Township maintenance
staff has been busy withMum Festival activity set-up support; cemetery
preparation for foundationinstallation, mowing andgrave seeding; and equip-ment maintenance fortrucks used for snow plow-ing in the winter months.In financial matters, theboard paid bills totaling$47,846.83, and acceptedthe financial status reportof September 2012 andbank reconciliation of Aug.31, 2012 as presented bythe township fiscal officer.It was announced at the

Kenosha (Wis.) News on simplifying the tax code:Now that the housing market has started to recover a little
bit, more people are looking at the role tax policy might havehad in the housing bubble that burst several years ago anddragged the nation’s economy into a recession.The average taxpayer gets $559 from the tax deduction for
mortgage interest, according to the Tax Policy InstituteOf course, the bigger your mortgage, the bigger your poten-
tial interest deduction.There actually is a ceiling on the size of a mortgage that
qualifies for this tax subsidy, but it’s absurdly high: $1.1 mil-lion.That high a ceiling is only a limiting factor for the highest
income earners, the ones who qualify to borrow that muchmoney. For most of the housing market, there is no ceiling onthe size of a mortgage that qualifies for favorable tax treat-ment.The Obama administration is reportedly
considering a proposal to drop the mortgageinterest deduction for those whose incomesare higher than $250,000.The effect on the budget deficit of that pro-
posal would not be very significant, accordingto some analyses.It also wouldn’t be fair.If national policy intends to support home
ownership with a tax deduction, the benefitshould apply to everyone.A better way to change the disproportion-
ate mortgage-interest benefit now available towealthy taxpayers is to limit the size of themortgages that qualify.The current limit could be gradually
reduced over a period of years to a more rea-sonable limit that could vary with regionalhousing markets.San Francisco’s housing market is expen-
sive compared to Kenosha’s, so the limitsshouldn’t be the same.Eliminating the mortgage interest deduc-
tion would be a big bite out of tax policy, andit might not be a proposal that could generatemuch support, but candidates keep saying weshould have a simpler tax code.Couldn’t we at least take a baby step?The Ironton (Ohio) Tribune on election campaign
information:With just a little more than one month remaining before the
Nov. 6 general election, it is more important than ever that vot-ers pay attention to the information they’re getting as well asthe source that it comes from.It is impossible to watch television or browse the Internet
without being bombarded by political ads. Most citizens havebeen getting propaganda in the mail nearly each day.Chain letter emails spread like wildfire, often containing
only half-truths and one-sided presentations of informationthat is taken out of context.Of course the political campaigns themselves are doing their
part to always put a positive spin out there for their candidate,and not just at the presidential level.The point is, citizens must educate themselves and pay close
attention to the information they’re given, where it comes fromand who stands to gain from it.The truth is hidden somewhere in the political spin and
propaganda, but voters will have to be smart in seeking it.

Most the time, Ohio only getsthe media spotlight during anOhio State University footballgame, for being the birthplace offlight or something obscure suchas wild animals on the loose.But it’s presidential election
season therefore the nation turnsto us because the old adage says,“As goes Ohio, so goes the nation.”It’s kind of a powerful place to
be these days, here in the heart ofAmerica, don’t you agree?Wednesday night I was one of
the millions of viewers who tunedin to the first of three presidentialdebates.To be honest, the only thing I
can take away from the hour anda half of my life I’ll never get backwas my fixation with PresidentBarack Obama’s and formerGovernor Mitt Romney’s ties.Ties? What does choosing a
president of the greatest nation,currently in its greatest crisis,have to do with selecting a leaderof our country?Everything to this swing voter.I am one of those critical swing
voters. Heck, the media have evencome up with a clever label for usundecideds: Walmart moms.“Walmart moms” are defined as
female voters with children underthe age of 18 who have shopped atthe retail chain at least once inthe last month.I suppose as a “Walmart mom”
I’m supposed to be a little rougharound the edges compared tothose classier “Target moms.”Heck, I even try to avoid both
of these retail giants because I endup spending more than if I stick toa traditional grocery store. I’measily distracted by shiny thingsand go way over budget.So maybe I’m more of a “Dollar
General mom.”Doesn’t really matter what type
of “swing” voter I am; I am start-ing to get anxiety about this his-toric choice I’ll have to make comeNov. 6.So when our nation’s presiden-
tial candidates took the stage,they each wore their respectivepolitical parties’ banner colors —Mitt wearing a red, striped tie andObama’s tie had a faint moire pat-tern. At least they dressed thepart of what “color” states they areafter.Yet, here in Ohio, we’ve
manged to merge our reds andblues and become one of those“purple” states – no well-seasonedpolitical analyst really knowswhich way us crazy MidwestBuckeyes will vote.Purple is the color of royalty
and folks, we, as Miami Countians,will sit and watch each vote tricklein and see if our purple color runmore blue or more red.As Purple Ohioans, we have it
all — agriculture, manufacturing,urban and rural communities andour share of crime and peace.It’s pretty cool to be from Ohio
this fall, I must say.So as a “Walmart mom,” I have
to admit I’m on the fence on thispresidential election thus far. I fitthe bill of “Walmart mom” quitenicely: I’m a single mother with acollege education and the studentloans to go with it. My child ishealthy and attends one of the
best schools in the county – maybein the state. I’m not a homeowner.Although I don’t live paycheck topaycheck, I’m one disaster awayfrom draining my bank account.So as the duo stepped out on
stage, their ties immediatelycaught my eye as well as otherviewers. My first thought was, Iwonder how much their ties costand if they were made in America.And I’m glad I’m not the only
one who put more thought in theties that bind. Jennifer Chan, anE!News fashion correspondent,also chimed in about their neck-wear.“Blue ties are associated with
feelings of trustworthiness andcalm, an important visual messageto send during this time,” Chanwrote. “Romney stepped up to thepodium wearing a bold red stripedtie that showed fervor and confi-dence.”All in all, it really doesn’t mat-
ter what they wear in the comingmonths — because this undecided“Walmart mom” Ohio voter, mychoice for president is still a tie.

WEST LAFAYETTE,Ind. (AP) — After beinglaid off repeatedly whileworking various jobs inthe real estate industry,Patty Leyden of Lafayettefinally decided it wastime to finish her bache-lor’s degree.
“I didn’t want to wastemy time anymore,” saidthe 55-year-old. “I hadbeen unemployed for sixmonths and I wasn’t surehow long unemploymentwould last. It gets darndepressing when you aretrying to find work andthere’s nothing.”
So, two years ago,Leyden became a full-time student at PurdueUniversity and is tryingto finish the psychologydegree she started pursu-ing about 30 years ago.
“It was an adjustmentat first, a little bit over-whelming,” she told theJournal & Courier(http://on.jconline.com/Sv6Qqo ). “I put a lot of pres-sure on myself.”
Although going to col-lege may seem like avalid option to changefields, start a career orfulfill that lifelong dream,is it worth it later in life?
College students 50and older, a small minori-ty at Purdue, have to con-sider a variety of factorsthat the average 20-year-old may not.
They are typically bal-ancing a job or children.Also, if they haven’t beenin school for severaldecades, getting back intoacademics may be chal-lenging.
“Algebra was the mostdifficult class,” Leydensaid. “I’m not a math per-son. I had forgotteneverything from 30-some-thing years ago.”
There’s also the issueof accruing college debt.At Purdue, the under-graduate student whoborrows money graduatesowing an average of$27,714.
Ted Malone, executivedirector of the division offinancial aid at Purdue,said the federal loan lim-its for independent stu-dents older than 24 ishigher, so they have theability to borrow more.
“Often, the determin-ing factor is how muchthey are trying to supporta lifestyle that used to besupported by a full-timejob,” he said. “If they stillhave dependent childrenand a mortgage, it is hardto make drastic cuts toexpenses. Whereas, peoplewho just support them-
selves are able to reduceexpenses.”
He also said a workingspouse or significantother can make a majordifference in debtaccrued.
Malone said older stu-dents have to think aboutthe return on investment.They should ask them-selves: “Will I be workinglong enough to make afour-year degree worthit?”
They also should con-sider whether they canbenefit as much from atwo-year program.
However, sometimesolder students are tryingto accomplish a lifelonggoal. “That is a muchmore difficult thing to puta value on,” Malone said.
Jeff Maxwell of WestLafayette knows thevalue of having a support-ive spouse. At 51, he isworking on his first bach-elor’s degree. He enrolledthis spring to obtain anaeronautical engineeringtechnology degree fromPurdue.
“My wife is very sup-portive and works so Ican do this,” he said.
Maxwell said heexpects to have a maxi-mum of $20,000 in stu-dent loans when he grad-uates. He is not concernedabout being able to paythe loans.
He expects to makeenough money as an air-plane mechanic.
“I’m hoping I can getan inspection job with oneof the large airlines and
be on their maintenancecrew,” he said.
Leyden expects to haveabout $10,000 to $15,000in loans after graduation.“I am concerned,” shesaid. “Fortunately, Ireceived other financialaid and used that for themajority of my schoolexpenses. I tried to keepmy loan amount to a min-imum. If I have troublefinding employment, Iwill probably use some ofmy savings to pay downmy loan.”
She’s hoping herdegree will help herattain a position that hasa salary and benefits.
“I’m actually willing tosettle for something thatmay not be in my fieldbut gets my foot in thedoor because I have adegree,” she said.
Maxwell had takenclasses at Purdue nearly25 years ago. He startedout as a part-time studentbut was hired at Subaruof Indiana Automotive. Hestopped taking classesand worked for SIA for 20years before a medicalcondition disabled him.
After interventionreduced the frequency ofhis debilitating migraines,Maxwell decided to try toget back into the work-force. His physicians rec-ommended he try exercis-ing and taking classes.
“If I can handle a fullload at school, I can even-tually be a full-timeemployee,” he said.
For Maxwell, the deci-sion to go back to school
has worked out well. Hemisses some classesbecause of his migraines.However, a flexible stu-dent schedule enableshim to work around theseabsences.
The experience hasgiven him social interac-tion. He has joined sever-al collegiate clubs, such asthe Purdue StudentVeteran Organization andBoiler League of Tag.
He also gets to spendtime with his son, ChrisMaxwell, a junior atPurdue studying organi-zational leadership andsupervision.
“We usually try tomeet at lunch, when wecan, usually about once aweek,” he said.
Sometimes, Chris willsurprise Jeff and roll upbehind him on his long-board while his dad waitsfor the bus.
“He’ll say, ‘Hey,Daddio,’” and give me abig hug,” Jeff said.
Leyden’s experiencehas been different.Although she talks to herpeers in class, she doesn’thang out with them. Shetypically studies alone.
“I do my thing and gohome,” she said.
“There’s no socialaspect of college life forme. There’s really nobodyelse I can talk to that ison the same page that Iam.”
At times, Leyden canfeel the age difference. “Ithink I’m the oldest stu-dent on campus,” she said.“I really do.”
Older students weigh meritsof return to college campus

LOS ANGELES (AP) —A former Charles Mansonfollower imprisoned for 40years in a double murderengineered by Manson wona recommendation ofparole Thursday in his27th appearance before aparole board panel.
Bruce Davis, convictedwith Manson and anotherman in the killings of amusician and a stuntman,was not involved in theinfamous Sharon Tate mur-ders in 1969.
The answer to his pleafor freedom came on theeve of his 70th birthday. Hewas a young man of 30when he was sentenced tolife in prison in 1972 in acase that was a postscriptto Manson’s notoriousreign as leader of the mur-derous communal cultknown as the Manson fam-ily.
Davis long maintainedhe was a bystander in thekillings of the two men, butin recent years he acknowl-edged his shared responsi-bility because he was pres-ent.
The hearing was held atthe California Men’sColony at San Luis Obispo,where Davis is imprisoned.
His release was opposedby a Los Angeles prosecu-tor and by a formerManson family member,Barbara Hoyt, as well asSharon Tate’s sister, DebraTate. The two womenattended the hearing,according to The Tribune ofSan Luis Obispo.
The recommendation isnot the last hurdle inDavis’ quest for freedom.The parole grant is subjectto a 120-day review periodby the entire parole board.If it is upheld, Gov. JerryBrown then has 30 days toreview the decision.
Los Angeles County dis-trict attorney’s spokes-woman Sandi Gibbonssaid, “We certainly dis-agree with the board’s deci-sion. We will evaluate howwe plan to proceed as thematter goes to Gov.Brown.”
She noted that DistrictAttorney Steve Cooleyhelped persuade then-Gov.Arnold Schwarzenegger tostop Davis’ prior paroledate in 2010.
A parole board deter-mined then that Davis wasready for release, saying hehad no recent disciplinaryproblems and had complet-ed education and self-helpprograms.
H o w e v e r ,Schwarzenegger reversedthe decision, citing theheinous nature of thecrimes and saying Daviswas still a danger. Gov.Brown has the final say ondecisions by the currentparole board. Hisspokesman Gil Durandeclined comment after thehearing, saying the issuehad not yet reached thegovernor’s desk.
Davis has been in prisonsince being convicted withManson and another fol-lower, Steve Grogan, in themurders of musician GaryHinman and stuntmanDonald “Shorty” Shea.
“I’m pleased andrelieved and I hope Bruce’sordeal will be over,” saidattorney MichaelBeckman, who has beenfighting for years for therelease of Davis.
He said an emotionalDavis spoke to the panel atlength and took responsi-bility for his role in thekillings. Davis also said hetried to do good for otherinmates and would contin-ue ministering for troubledsouls on the outside, thelawyer said.
If eventually freed,Davis will go to transition-al housing associated withreligious groups in LosAngeles County.
Davis became a born-again Christian in prisonand ministered to otherinmates, married a womanhe met through the prisonministry, and has a growndaughter. The couplerecently divorced.
Beckman said Davisalso earned a master’sdegree and a doctorate inphilosophy of religion.
Beckman said his clientis totally rehabilitated andmeets state requirementsfor parole. Los AngelesCounty Deputy DistrictAttorney Patrick Sequeiraopposed his release.
Few followers of theinfamous Manson culthave been released fromprison.

A8 Friday, October 5, 2012 NATIONAL CHIROPRACTIC MONTH TROY DAILY NEWS • WWW.TDN-NET.COM
Over the last 25 years there have been morethan six government studies done on chiropractictreatments in various countries, includingCanada, Sweden andAustralia.All these studieshave shown that these treatments are safe andeffective.It’s no surprise, then,
that chiropractics has beena recognized profession forseveral years now, particu-larly given the fact that ittakes a holistic approach tohealth and considers thebody to have its own natu-ral healing abilities.With this philosophy in
mind, chiropractors focustheir attention on the rela-tionships the nervous andmusculo-skeletal systemshave with other systems in the body, placing par-ticular emphasis on the spine.Over the years there has been growing interest
in neuro-vertebral health. Current schools ofthought stress that we are all responsible for ourown bodies and that the way we treat them hasa direct effect on our overall health. Did youknow that your posture can reveal a lot about
your spinal health?For example, if you have, atendency to curve your backwhen seated;have a roundedupper back; a hip that’shigher than the other; ashoulder that’s higher thanthe other; or a tendency totilt your head forward orkeep it slightlyturned, itc o u l dmean thatyou havec e r t a i n
problems with your spine. Donot hesitate to consult a chiro-practor; they can help treat neuro-vertebral problems, headaches,hypertension and digestive troubles.
Chiropractor can help treat neuro-vertebral problems,headaches, hypertension and digestive troubles.
Just like all other good habits in life,good spinal health starts when we arechildren. And as we all know, healthy at-titudes and behaviours are best learnedat an early age. That’s why chiropractorsare increasing their efforts to educateyouth on this aspect of their health byproviding as much information and ad-vice as possible. So why wait until com-plications arise before consulting aspecialist?A visit to your chiropractor can teach
your children how to prevent the types ofback problems that are so prevalentamong adults. Steps as simple as notcrossing your legs or not sleeping on yourstomach can make a world of differenceover the long-run. Learning to lift prop-erly with your legs by bending at theknees rather than letting your back bearall the weight is another valuable lessonthat even young children can immedi-ately benefit from.More global aspects can also be ad-
dressed during a preventative appoint-ment so that littleones can under-stand that theirbody needs to behandled carefully
so that it can perform properly. Rest, nu-trition, exercise and stress management
are other factorsthat contribute tomaintaining goodspinal health andoverall fitness.
You mighteven learn a thingor two during thisa p p o i n t m e n t .Many adults con-tinue their badhabits—sometimeswithout even real-izing it.
But we cer-tainly feel their re-sults! Set a goodexample for yourkids—consult achiropractor!

YESTERDAY’S SOLUTION:
Dear Annie: My son married ayoung widow with two small boys.They have been married 15 yearsand are currently expecting theirfirst child together. Throughoutthis marriage, my daughter-in-lawwould never let my son have anykind of fatherly relationship withher older boy, although he was thesole father of the younger child.Now the older boy is 20 and won'tleave his mother's side.He has had only one girlfriend,
and she was the daughter of aclose friend of Mom's. He has tosleep in the bedroom next to hers.He paces the floor until she getshome from work and then followsher around the house. He sits out-side the bathroom door while shebathes. He calls and texts her con-stantly, and she does the same.When he graduated high school,he attended a local community col-lege because he didn't want toleave the city. But it became toodifficult to drive back and forthbetween school and the house, sohe quit and got a minimum-wagejob.This young man doesn't have a
good relationship with his youngerbrother or my son. It's as thoughhe resents their presence in thehome and wants his mother all tohimself. She takes him every-where she goes. I find it verystrange and can't help wonderingwhether they are involved in anincestuous relationship. What doyou think? — Just WonderingDear Wondering:We don't
believe it is necessarily incestuous,but it is decidedly unhealthy. Themother has created a dependency.She treated her son as a "husbandsubstitute" when she was wid-owed, and he has clung to that job(with her encouragement) eversince. This is unfair to the boy, aswell as to his brother. And there isthe possibility that the motherwill transfer her affections to thenew baby, creating a more seriousproblem.Please talk to your son and urge
him to help this young manbecome independent of his mother— a developmental step that hehas missed. It sounds as if theentire family could use some coun-seling.Dear Annie: I love my mother,
but our relationship has neverbeen easy. Most of my childhoodmemories are unpleasant due tomy parents' nasty divorce. Whenmy younger brother chose to livewith Dad, it just about killedMom. The bitterness and depres-sion swallowed her up. My brotherand I could never fill the hole inher heart or put a smile on herface.I am now 25 and can't stand her
self-pity and rude comments aboutmy father and brother. She com-plains about being single, havingno friends and coming home to anempty house. I try to spend timewith her, but we always end uparguing. I think she thrives on theconflict.My husband and I plan to start
a family soon. I want my motherin my life, but I don't want mykids to be around so much nega-tivity. There is no loving way todescribe her negative attitude.How would I explain it to them?— Worried DaughterDear Daughter: Kids are
amazingly adaptable and accept-ing. If your mother loves them,they will respond and understandthat this is just the way Grandmais. You may need to set boundarieson how much rudeness she spoutsin front of them and limit her timewhen she is particularly negative.But otherwise, handle each chal-lenge as it appears.Dear Annie: As a public health
official, I disagree with yourresponse to "Concerned Sister,"whose sister has dogs, cats, turtlesand a lizard. The home environ-ment as described suggests somesignificant health issues, from sal-monella that is carried by reptilesto canine feces left on the floorsfor periods of time. These healthhazards are sources of pathogensthat cause infectious diseases. Ifthere isn't a mental health diagno-sis, the symptoms are definitely inplace for one.— D.S., HealthDirector

VASSAR, Mich. (AP) —Army Staff Sgt. Travis Millshad been a lot of places sincelosing his four limbs inAfghanistan. The one placehe hadn’t been was wherepeople knew him best.He finally returned to his
Michigan hometown thisweek six months after theexplosion that cost him hisarms and legs to serve as thegrand marshal of his oldhigh school’s homecomingparade.“I didn’t come to Vassar
yet, because I wasn’t readyfor people to see me withoutmy legs. … Because inVassar, everybody knowseverybody,” Mills said in aninterview hours before theparade Thursday. “Greattown, but I just wasn’t com-fortable with them seeingme in a wheelchair.”Mills is still undergoing
rehabilitation at WalterReed Medical Center inWashington, D.C. But he’sbeen able to get out andabout. In the past few weeksalone, he took part in a 5Kbenefit walk in New Yorkand celebrated his daugh-ter’s first birthday on thebase at Fort Bragg, N.C.His hometown has pulled
for him from afar. Hairsalons, American Legionposts and many others host-ed fundraisers this springand summer as the small,tight-knit community ralliedaround him.Mills barely suffered a
scratch during his first twotours of Afghanistan, butduring his third, on April 10,he placed a bag of ammuni-tion down on an improvisedexplosive device. The result-ing blast tore through theathlete’s muscular 6-foot-3frame. Since then, he’sundergone a grueling seriesof medical procedures andbeen pushed to the limits bymedical professionals intenton seeing him pull throughhis rare injury.A half a year since Mills’
life was changed forever, it’sdifficult to find a tree, lamp-post or telephone pole with-
out a yellow or red, whiteand blue ribbon in thisbucolic community of 2,700that sits 90 miles north ofDetroit.A downtown bank proud-
ly displays an electronic signthat welcomes Mills as a“hometown hero,” as dodozens of other businesses.“It was a lot to take in,”
Mills said of the signs ofsupport he saw on the drivefrom the airport to his par-ents’ home. “Now, I just haveto make sure not to leteveryone down.”His homecoming gets
under way in earnestThursday evening with theparade, where the wholetown and then some isexpected to participate.Mills, his wife, Kelsey, andtheir 1-year-old daughter,Chloe, are to serve as thegrand marshals.Travis Mills also plans to
address the crowd beforeFriday night’s Vassar Highfootball game.The 25-year-old is one of
only a few servicemen to loseall four limbs in combat dur-ing the Iraq andAfghanistan wars and sur-vive.“This is my new normal,
and it’s all about how Iadjust to it,” he saidmoments after using hisprosthetic legs to walk fromthe living room to the sunroom at his childhood home.“There’s no good that’sgonna come from me sittingthere and wondering, ‘Why’dthis happen? Why me? Nowwhat do I do?’ The answer’sright in front of you: It hap-pened because it happened.”Mills almost didn’t come
home at all.Within 20 seconds of the
IED explosion, a fast-work-ing medic affixed tourni-quets to all four of Mills’limbs to ensure he wouldn’tbleed to death.The medic was able to
save Mills’ life but not hislimbs.In the days since, Mills
has worked out daily atWalter Reed, getting used to
the prosthetics, but alsostrengthening his body forthe rigors of what’s to comeonce he leaves.Mills was told quadruple
amputees require at least 2years of recovery and reha-bilitation. But his goal is tobe out of Walter Reed andback home in less than halfthat.“I am going to be out of
here” in a year, he boldly toldhis doctor.After that, he isn’t sure
what the future holds. Hemight go back to school, orperhaps work as an instruc-tor at Fort Bragg.Before any of that, how-
ever, he said he’s looking for-ward to spending an “emo-tional” two days with hun-dreds of his closest friends inVassar.

Vikings look to make big point, bounce back vs. PanthersBY COLIN FOSTERAssociate Sports [email protected]
There is no doubt thatMiami East’s loss toCovington hurt.But with big games on
the horizon, the Vikings stillhave plenty to play for.Miami East (4-2, 4-1) has
a Cross County Conferenceshowdown with Tri-CountyNorth (3-3, 3-2) — a teamthe Vikings have lost to thelast two years — Friday, fol-lowed by Bradford (5-1, 4-1)the next week, thenNational Trail (5-1, 4-1). IfMiami East can win out,getting to the postseasonisn’t out of the picture.But a week-to-week
approach is key for theVikings, because each oftheir following opponentsare top-notch teams in theCCC.“We’ve still got four
games left,” Miami Eastcoach Max Current said.“We’re 4-2 right now, so
we’re still a pretty good foot-ball team.We’ve got to focuson North this week. They’vebeat us the last two years.We’ve had close games withthem the last two years.We’ve had some battles.We’re 3-3 against them sincewe came into the league, sowe’ve got a nice rivalry
going.”The Panthers are a team
that Current said remindshim of his own team. Northhas talent at running back,along with a dual-threatquarterback and severaldangerous skill positionplayers.But North is cominginto Casstown as loser of itslast two, getting hammeredby Covington 48-14 in Week4, then falling to Bradford35-34 last week.Unlike the Vikings, the
Panthers had trouble with ascrappy Bethel team. Northled 14-7 formost of the gamebut finally scored again latein the game to put the gameout of reach. The Vikingsdominated defensivelyagainst the Bees, winning24-0.“We’re going to have to
control the line on both sidesof the ball,” Current said.“They’ve got a real nicequarterback. He’s a good,accurate passer who likes tobreak contain and take off.They’ve got a pretty versa-
tile running back.“They are like us. They
may be a better passingteam than us, but I think wehave a little better runninggame. They have a lot ofgood skill position players.”
Miami East will have towin without its startingquarterback Conner Hellyerthis week, who suffered abroken collarbone in the lossto Covington. Up to lastweek, Hellyer had thrown
for 528 yards and six touch-downs to help Miami Eaststart the season 4-1.Starting in his place will befreshman BraxtonDonaldson, who got plentyof playing time last week.“If I wasn’t confident
(with Braxton), I wouldn’thave him back there,”Current said.The Vikings sit at No. 17
in the Division V Region 20playoff rankings. Playoffsare not out of the question,but closing the season outwith some quality wins oversome of the best teams inthe CCC would likelystrengthen East’s case to getin. Including North, theteams Miami East close outagainst have a combinedrecord of 16-8.“Our next four games are
big point games,” Currentsaid. “North, Bradford andNational Trail are all goodteams with good records.”And the Vikings would
make a big point if they tookdown the Panthers today.
CASSTOWN
WEEK 7
MILTON-UNION (5-1, 2-0) at PREBLE SHAWNEE (0-6, 0-3): Milton-Union’s barnburner of a victory at Carlisle last week put the Bulldogs in totalcontrol of the Southwestern Buckeye League Buckeye Division with fourweeks to play — as well as propelling them to the No. 3 spot in the DivisionIV Region 16 playoff standings. The Bulldogs travel to winless PrebleShawnee tonight and 1-5 Northridge in the final week of the season— but it’stheWeek 8 and 9 games against 4-2 Dixie andWaynesville, both at home, thatwill decide not only the division title, but if the Bulldogs will play inWeek 11.
BETHEL (2-4, 1-4) at NATIONAL TRAIL (5-1, 4-1): Bethel’s odds at a.500 season in Kevin Finfrock’s first year look pretty solid — after tonight’smatchup against 5-1 National Trail, the Bees play a pair of winless teams —Ansonia and Mississinawa Valley — and 2-4 Arcanum. And while 5-1 maysound like an obstacle, Bethel is in prime position for an upset — the Blazershave yet to defeat a team with a winning record. The combined record ofNational Trail’s five victims is 6-24, with 5-1 Bradford owning the Blazers’only loss. Should the Bees win, it won’t be all that shocking.
TIPPECANOE (6-0, 1-0) at STEBBINS (2-4, 0-1): Tippecanoe startedCentral Buckeye Conference Kenton Trail Division play last week exactlyas expected— by pummeling a hapless Bellefontaine team.This week willonly be moderately more difficult — the Red Devils travel to 2-4 Stebbins,the lowest-scoring team in the division.Tippecanoe boasts the defense thathas given up the fewest points in the league — a perfect formula for ablowout. The Devils will get the closest thing to a test in the final threeweeks against three 4-2 teams —Tecumseh, Kenton Ridge and Shawnee.
BRADFORD (5-1, 4-1) at ARCANUM (2-4, 1-4): Bradford showedsomething important during last week’s 35-34 nailbiter of awin— the abil-ity to win without star running back James Canan. Canan left the gameearly with an injury and didn’t return, yet Bradford still found a way pastTri-County North. He should be able to take the night off tonight withoutanyworries as the Railroaders travel to 2-4Arcanum—a teamwhose onlywins this year have come against winless teams in Preble Shawnee andAnsonia. Next week against Miami East, though, will be a different story.
FAIRBANKS (1-5, 1-1) at LEHMAN (3-3, 2-1): Lehman is officiallyliking its new home in the Northwest Central Conference. After falling 35-0 to Fort Loramie to open league play, the Cavaliers didn’t allow a first dwnin a 44-0 rout of Riverside — and then shut down Waynesfield-Goshen,which had beaten Fort Loramie the previous week. Now Lehman hostsFairbanks — a 1-5 team that has seen its share of struggles offensively thisyear. With Lehman’s defense playing so well, this could be ugly.
PIQUA (2-4, 0-1) at SIDNEY (3-3, 0-1): The schedule did the PiquaIndians no favors in the past three weeks. After an eight-point loss toBeavercreek, the Indians were blanked 55-0 by unbeaten Springboro andthen shut out 42-0 by defending Division II State champion Trotwood-Madison. Yes, that’s 97-0 in a span of two games. Look for Piqua to reboundtonight against 3-3 Sidney — which only averages 17.8 points per gameand only managed six points in a loss to Troy last week.
COVINGTON (6-0, 5-0) at TWIN VALLEY SOUTH (3-3, 3-2):Covington’s win over Miami East last week may very well be the last time theBuccaneers will be tested untilWeek 11.The Buccs’ final four opponents on theroad to the Cross County Conference title boast a combined record of 10-14 —with next week’s matchup against 5-1 National Trail counting for half of those.Tonight it’s 3-3 Twin Valley South, which just got done losing to Bethel lastweek. Covington’s starters may not have to play more than one half of a gameof football for the next four weeks.Their only concern will be balancing stayinghealthy versus staying in football shape for when they’re needed.

During the first game, it wasclear that Troy needed to makeadjustments.So that’s just one more thing
they’ve proved they can do thisseason.After dropping the first game
to Butler, the Troy Trojans (16-4) swept the rival Aviators offtheir floor, cruising to a 22-25,25-18, 25-11, 25-21 victory inthe final match of pool play inthe Greater Western OhioConference tournamentThursday at the TrojanActivities Center.Troy had trouble getting the
ball to its primary weapon, sen-ior Jenna Selby, in the firstgame. Butler, meanwhile, madethe clutch plays down the
stretch — neither team led bymore than four points — andclosed out the game with consec-utive points after Troy had cutthe lead to 23-22.“All of that was things we
had worked on in practice,” Troycoach Michelle Owen said.“Obviously we had a scoutingreport on them and had playedthem before. We have all thetools, we’d worked on all of thosethings. It was our blocking gamethat really struggled in the firstgame.“Once we got our block fixed,
we were in a much better place.”Game 2 was more of the same
back-and-forth battling, butTroy built a four-point lead —only to see Butler trim it to oneat 13-12. Troy ran off fourstraight to build its biggest leadat 17-12, but the teams traded

One-and-done wild card: dramatic, but is it fair?By The Associated Press
By sometime Fridaynight, either Chipper Joneswill be out of baseball orthe defending World Serieschampion Cardinals will beout of the playoffs.
One and done.A pair of wild-card
matchups — St. Louis atAtlanta, then Baltimore atTexas — to decide whichteams advance to the nextround. Part of the new,expanded postseason for-mat, where 162 games, sixmonths of grinding andupward of 50,000 pitches
get boiled down to nine all-or-nothing innings.
Dramatic? Certainly.Fair? Well, depends on whoyou ask.
“I hate it. I’m old-school.I’m old,” Washington man-ager Davey Johnson said.
At 69, he has a vestedinterest. His NL Eastchampion Nationals willvisit the Cardinals-Braveswinner Sunday in Game 1of the division series.
“I love it,” Clevelandcloser Chris Perez said. “Ifyou are in it, or watching itas a fan, it doesn’t get anymore exciting.”
Or, as Texas generalmanager Jon Danielssummed up on the eve ofhis team’s big game: “I’ll letyou know tomorrow.”
Clearly, several sides tothis debate.
Major League Baseballhoped to get more clubsinvolved in postseasonraces, and the Angels,Dodgers, Brewers, Raysand Pirates were amongthose that enjoyed thechase this year.
There also was somesentiment that wild-cardteams were getting it tooeasy and winning the
World Series too often, asthe Cardinals did last sea-son. By adding an extraplayoff club in each leagueand then forcing it to playin a winner-take-all game,it could make the pathtougher.
That’s OK by Cardinalsmanager Mike Matheny,whose team clinched themajors’ final playoff spotthis year.
“We’re ecstatic. We’d behome right now. We’d bespectators, so we’re excep-tionally happy about theformat,” he said.
“The fact that we have
to use up a pitcher, it makessense to me. I believe theteam that wins the divisionought to have an advan-tage. I think it’s been welldone,” he said.
On the other hand, aclub that runs into thewrong pitcher could beeliminated in a hurry.
“I think for teams likeAtlanta — who had anunbelievable year, and itcould be ruined by onegame — it’s probablyunfair,” Washington firstbaseman Adam LaRochesaid.
“Now, in one game, any
given day, a college teamcould beat a big leagueteam. It’s just the way theball rolls. So I don’t knowhow much one game provesas far as who deserves tomove on,” he said. “Youalmost have to do it two outof three. But then you getother teams sitting aroundfor a week. So I don’t knowthe right way to do it.”
Braves second basemanDan Uggla isn’t a fan.
“I’m not for this newplayoff thing at all,” hesaid. “They’re kind of mess-ing things up foreverybody.”
Valentine cannedafter awful year
BOSTON (AP) — TheBoston Red Sox thoughtBobby Valentine wouldrestore order to a coddledclubhouse that disinte-grated during the 2011pennant race.
Instead, he only causedmore problems.
The brash andsupremely confident man-ager was fired onThursday, the day afterthe finale of a seasonbeset with internal snip-ing and far too many loss-es. Valentine went 69-93in his only year in Boston,the ballclub’s worst inalmost 50 years.
“I understand thisdecision,” Valentine saidin a statement releasedby the team. “This year inBoston has been anincredible experience forme, but I am as disap-pointed in the results asare ownership and thegreat fans of Red SoxNation. … I’m sure nextyear will be a turnaroundyear.”
A baseball savant whowon the NL pennant with
the New York Mets andwon it all in Japan,Valentine was brought inafter two-time WorldSeries champion TerryFrancona lost control ofthe clubhouse during anu n p r e c e d e n t e dSeptember collapse.
But the players whotook advantage ofFrancona’s hands-offapproach to gorge on friedchicken and beer duringgames bristled atValentine’s abrasive style.
More importantly, theydidn’t win for him, either.
“We felt it was theright decision for thatteam at that time,” gener-al manager BenCherington said onThursday in an interviewat Fenway Park. “It hasn’tworked out, because theseason has been a greatdisappointment. That’snot on Bobby Valentine;that’s on all of us. We feltthat in order to move for-ward and have a freshstart, we need to startanew in the manager’soffice.”
Playoff clubs facelots of injuries
SAN FRANCISCO (AP)— In a perfect playoff world,Stephen Strasburg might beon themound in the nation’scapital, Mariano Riveraclosing it out in the Bronxand Melky Cabrera deliver-ing a timely hit by the bay.
Bartolo Colon would bestarting for Oakland, RyanMadson pitching the ninthin Cincinnati.
Call this the depletedpostseason. AmericanLeague, National League,the division winners and thewild cards, almost everyclub headed to the playoffshas dealt with a devastatingloss of some sort.
Workload, injuries andperformance-enhancingdrugs there are all kinds ofreasons teams are playingseveral men down.
Many are left sayingouch in October as the new-look playoffs begin.
The Bay Area took thebiggest hit with a long list ofabsent players on theGiants and Athletics. Eachclub moved forward seem-ingly unfazed, with SanFrancisco winning its sec-ond NL West title in threeyears and Oakland captur-ing the AL West crown onthe regular season’s finalday against the two-timereigning AL championTexas Rangers.
“Twenty-nine teams are
going to finish with a loss,and I’d say the No. 1 reasonis health, which makes itmore spectacular where weare,” Oakland’s JonnyGomes said.
Both teams also lost akey player because of PEDs,both to positive testosteronetests exactly one weekapart. First it was Cabreraon Aug. 15, then Colon onAug. 22.
“I think every team,when something like thathappens, they try to make astatement, to bring the bestthey can bring, because theystill have a job to do,” Giantscenter fielder Angel Pagansaid. “And it’s about believ-ing if you have enough, too.All these teams, they believethat they can get it done.They have enough to go outthere and compete and win.That was our mentalitysince Day 1. We knew thatwe didn’t have our closer,but we also knew that wehad a great bullpen.”
Ending Strasburg’s sea-son early was a front-officedecision. Washington madethe call to shut down itsprized pitcher based onworkload after 159 1-3innings and a 15-6 record.Since early May, the NewYork Yankees have copedwithout career saves leaderRivera, who underwentright knee surgery in June.
An MVP debate?By The Associated Press
Miguel Cabrera has hisTriple Crown. MVP award,maybe not.
Hold on, now. How couldthat be?
Mike Trout, that’s how.It’s the hottest debate in
baseball, seemingly pittingold-school traditionalistsagainst new-age numbercrunchers in a bench-clear-ing shouting match overwhat constitutes “valuable.”
At stake is the AmericanLeague’s Most ValuablePlayer award, perhaps thegame’s top individual prize.
Cabrera capped anextraordinary seasonWednesday night by becom-ing the first Triple Crownwinner in the majors sinceBoston’s Carl Yastrzemskiin 1967. The Detroit Tigers’slugger led the leaguewith a.330 batting average, 44homers and 139 RBIs thestandard statistical cate-gories by which excellencewas commonly judged forthe better part of the pastcentury.
“If he’s not the MVP thenthere’s no such thing,”Tigersmanager Jim Leyland said.
Trout, however, madesome history of his own.Called up from the minorsthree weeks into the season,the Los Angeles Angels’rookie quickly became anever-before-seen force priorto his 21st birthday.
Possessing a unique com-bination of skills in the con-crete body of a running back,the dynamic kid from NewJersey did it all hitting homeruns and taking them awaywith highlight-reel catcheshigh above the center-fieldfence.
Trout batted .326, secondto Cabrera, with 30 homersand 83 RBIs. He also led themajors with 49 stolen bases(in 54 attempts) and 129runs 20 more than Cabrerain 22 fewer games. Theslumping Angels were 6-14when they brought up Troutand went 83-59 the rest ofthe way.
The first big league rook-ie to reach 30 homers and 40steals in one season and theyoungest player with a 30-30 campaign, Trout struckout 41 more times thanCabrera but committed onlyfour errors in the outfield.Cabrera had 13 errors afterunselfishly switching backto third base when theTigers signed first basemanPrince Fielder last winter.
“Divide it in half,”Yankees manager JoeGirardi said. “They both had
sensational years.”That would be too easy.
The hard part is making apick.
For anyone who thoughtwinning the Triple Crownwould automatically anointCabrera the MVP, take noteof this:There have been nineTriple Crown seasons sincethe MVP award was intro-duced for each league in1931. Four times, the TripleCrown winner was beatenout forMVP by a player on apennant winner.
Chuck Klein of thePhiladelphia Phillies lost toNew York Giants pitcherCarl Hubbell in 1933.Yankees slugger Lou Gehrigwas topped by Detroit catch-er Mickey Cochrane the fol-lowing year. And thenBoston’s Ted Williams,unpopularwith certainwrit-ers, fell short toYankees sec-ond baseman Joe Gordon(1942) and center fielder JoeDiMaggio (1947).
At the center of the argu-ment this year is a moderncalculation called WAR(Wins Above Replacement),a figure derived from anassortment of other stats.WAR is designed to go deep-er than the conventionalnumbers in measuring aplayer’s all-around contribu-tion to team success.
A worthwhile endeavorfor sure, though some thinkthe formula is flawed.
Leyland, for example,bemoaned thatWAR doesn’temphasize RBIs enough.Others believe it’s the mostcomplete and accurateappraisal of a player’s truevalue.
Trout finished with aWAR number of 10.7, best inthe majors, according tobaseball-reference.com.Cabrera was at 6.9, fourth inthe American League.
The discrepancy isalmost ironic, consideringhow the debate sometimesfalls along generationallines. Trout’s sizable advan-tage, of course, is a result ofhis vastly superior defenseand baserunning both tradi-tional fundamentals longheld in high regard by base-ball’s old guard.
With reporters every-where asking for opinions asCabrera chased the TripleCrown, it seemedmostman-agers and players favoredCabrera for MVP. Front-office types often pointed toTrout. Tigers teammateswore T-shirts touting theirguy.
In the end, the only peo-ple with the power to decideit are the 28 members of theBaseball Writers’Association of America whohave a vote. And if recenthistory holds a clue, theymight lean toward Cabreramore because he poweredthe Tigers to an AL Centraltitle than the fact that heended the longest TripleCrown drought in baseballhistory.
“The Triple Crown isobviously a historic achieve-ment, but whether Cabreragets it or not shouldn’timpact his standing in theMVP race,” Mark Feinsandof the NewYork Daily News,who has an AL MVP vote,said early this week.
“The fact that he’s led the
Tigers to the postseasonwith a monster Septembershould make him a slightfavorite over Trout, thoughTrout will certainly stillhave plenty of support forhis incredible year. I thinkDetroit’s late-season surgewill be a bigger factor ifCabrera wins the MVP thanhis run at theTriple Crown.”
Trout’s team made a sec-ond-half charge but missedthe playoffs and finishedthird in the AL West. Still,the Angels’ final record wasone game better thanDetroit’s.
And while Cabrera mer-its credit for leading his clubto the playoffs, it seemsunfair to punish Trout forsimply playing in a tougherdivision.
That may not matter tovoters, though.
Setting aside the strike-shortened season of 1994when the postseason wascanceled, the only time inthe last 20 years that theALMVP didn’t come from aplayoff team was 2003,when Alex Rodriguez wonwith the last-place TexasRangers.
The trend hasn’t been asconsistent in the NationalLeague, but the pointremains valid.
What’s most amazing isthis: After fans waited 45years to see a Triple Crownwinner, there’s a legitimateargument about whetherthat player deserves theMVP award even thoughCabrera all but carried histeam into the playoffs.
Never imagined thatcould happen.
Even after winning Triple Crown, Cabrera has competition

three-point runs until theTrojans were up only 20-18. Tip kills by MackenzieRice and Emily Moser, abooming kill by Selby andan ace by Lauren Freedevened the match up at 1-1.“We served tougher,”
Owen said. “In Game 1, weonly had one ace by EmilyMoser, who hadn’t servedfor a while. We madeadjustments in the secondgame, and we had four acesin that one.”And in Game 3 — with-
out Selby tallying a singlekill — the Trojans putforth their biggest offen-sive effort of the night.After Butler jumped out
a 4-0 lead, the Trojans ranoff 10 straight points —nine on Cassie Rice’s serve.Later in the game,Mackenzie Rice served afour-point streak to makeit 19-10 Troy, and Moserclosed things out with afive-point streak to putTroy one game away fromadvancing to bracket playnext week.Moser led Troy in the
game with three kills and ablock, while Jen Monnierand Jillian Ross each hadtwo kills and a block.“That game was due to
our serving mostly,” Owensaid. “We worked on havingJenna go hard and holdingher blocker — that opensup other opportunities forus. If we can get the ball toother people after Jennaclears that block, it takessome pressure off of her.”In the decisive fourth
game, though, freshmanFreed decided to put all thepressure on herself — byhoisting the team onto herown shoulders.Freed threw down eight
of her career-high 16 killsin the fourth game, includ-ing scoring three straightTroy points after Butlerhad tied the game at 11-11,as well as three of Troy’sfinal four points of thematch — game pointincluded.“They came at huge
times,” Owen said ofFreed’s kills. We felt likewe were really connectingthere. They had their back-up middle in, so we toldLauren to hit down theline. Lauren is very good atadjusting her shotsdepending on the defenseand the sets she gets.”Freed had an ace and 14
digs to go with her 16 ills,Moser added 11 kills, anace and 25 digs, Selby fin-ished with 10 kills and fourdigs, Monnier had ninekills and six digs and Rosshad eight kills and threedigs. Mackenzie Ricedished out 50 assists onthe night in addition tofour kills, an ace and 21digs, Cassie Rice added 40digs, two kills and threeaces and Abby Brinkmanhad three digs.Troy had expected to
play at Lebanon — wherethe Trojans were sweptearlier in the season — on
Tuesday in the first roundof bracket play, butBeavercreek knocked offthe Warriors in five onThursday. That means thatinstead of going on theroad, Troy should be able
to stay at home Tuesdayand take on eitherFairmont or Beavercreek.Which is another
adjustment that theTrojans won’t mindmaking.

Rams take lead into 4th quarterST. LOUIS (AP) — Sam
Bradford threw a 7-yardtouchdown pass to LanceKendricks on the openingdrive, rookie Greg Zuerleinkicked a 53-yard field goal,and the St. Louis Rams thenrelied on defense to take a10-3 lead over the ArizonaCardinals 10-3 into thefourth quarter Thursdaynight.The Rams, ranked 27th
in offense, came out throw-ing, with Bradford complet-ing passes of 14 yards toBrandon Gibson and 44yards Danny Amendola onthe first two plays fromscrimmage in the game, set-ting up the score toKendricks on third down. Itwas the first offensivetouchdown in three gamesfor St. Louis (2-2).Arizona responded with
a drive that lasted 9:24, end-ing with Jay Feely’s 35-yardfield goal. The Cardinalskept the drive alive with
three third-down conver-sions. Larry Fitzgerald’s 5-yard catch on the first playof the drive marked the122nd straight game with acatch, a franchise record.Zuerlein, a sixth-round
draft pick out of MissouriWestern, made it 10-3 earlyin the second quarter. He is13 for 13 this season, includ-ing four kicks of 50-plusyards.Amendola, who is second
in the NFL in in receptions,left for X-rays after injuringhis shoulder while diving fora pass in the second quarter,a ball initially ruled a recep-tion that was overturnedafter review. He didn’treturn. Amendola threw hishelmet into a wall in thewalkway as he walked off.The 44-yard catch was hisonly one Thursday.Feely missed a 40-yard
field goal late in the secondquarter.Bradford cooled off after

NHL scraps season’s 1st 2 weeksNEW YORK (AP) —
What seemed inevitable forthe NHL has now becomereality. The league canceledthe first two weeks of theregular season onThursday, the second timegames have been lostbecause of a lockout inseven years.The initial announce-
ment was made in a two-paragraph statement fromthe league. It isn’t clear ifthose games will be madeup, allowing for a complete82-game regular season, if adeal can be struck soonwith the locked-out players.Unable to work out how
to split up $3 billion inhockey-related revenues
with the players’ associa-tion, the NHL wiped out 82games from Oct. 11 throughOct. 24 beginning with fournext Thursday,which wouldhave been the league’sopening night.“We were extremely dis-
appointed to have to maketoday’s announcement,”NHL DeputyCommissioner Bill Dalysaid in a statement. “Thegame deserves better, thefans deserve better, and thepeople who derive incomefrom their connection to theNHL deserve better.“We remain committed
to doing everything in ourpower to forge an agree-ment that is fair to the play-
ers, fair to the teams, andgood for our fans.This is notabout ‘winning’ or ‘losing’ anegotiation. This is aboutfinding a solution that pre-serves the long-term healthand stability of the leagueand the game. We are com-mitted to getting this done.”The union countered
Thursday by saying theNHL forced the lockoutonto the players instead ofletting the season go on asplanned.“The decision to cancel
the first two weeks of theNHL season is the unilater-al choice of the NHL own-ers,” NHLPA ExecutiveDirector Donald Fehr saidin a statement. “If the own-
ers truly cared about thegame and the fans, theywould lift the lockout andallow the season to begin ontime while negotiationscontinue.“A lockout should be the
last resort in bargaining,not the strategy of firstresort,” he added. “For near-ly 20 years, the ownershave elected to lock out theplayers in an effort tosecure massive concessions.Nevertheless, the playersremain committed to play-ing hockey while the par-ties work to reach a dealthat is fair for both sides.We hope we will soon havea willing negotiatingpartner.”

Barr’s return opens up playbook for TrojansBY DAVID FONG
Executive [email protected]
With the return ofMatt Barr at quarterback,expect the Troy playbookto open up once again.Last week, with Barr
expected to miss Troy’sgame against Sidney witha sprained knee, Troy putin an offensive gameplanthat essentially consistedof four plays to be run outof the wildcat formation.With Barr’s return just
before game time — andTroy coach Scot Brewer’sdesire not to make upplays on the sidelines asthe game went along —the Trojan offense waslimited to that game plan.Now that Barr is back,
expect to see a more wide-open playbook from theTrojans tonight againstButler.“Obviously having a
guy back who knows theoffense helps,” Brewersaid. “Basically we wereall set to run four playslast week against Sidney.There are only so manyhours you are allowed to
practice, and there wasonly so much we could putin with a new quarterbackwho was going to be run-ning the wildcat.”In four games this sea-
son, Barr has completed40 of 74 passes for 489yards with six touch-downs and three intercep-tions.• NOT TO DISMISS
THE WILDCAT: Justbecause Barr is returning,however, do not expect theTrojans to totally dismissthe wildcat formation.Although the Trojansessentially ran just twoplays out of the wildcatagainst Sidney, those twoplays did result in a
touchdown run by wildcatquarterback NickZimmer.“We liked what we saw
in the wildcat,” Brewersaid. “We aren’t going tototally scrap it. We stillplan on using that pack-age. Nick Zimmer is oneof the best athletes wehave on this team. If wecan find a way to get theball in his hands moreoften, we are going to doit.”Zimmer had two car-
ries out of the wildcat for-mation — an 8-yard runand a 1-yard touchdownrun. Although he’s new tothe wildcat formation,he’s not new to the quar-
terback position.Zimmer played quar-
terback as a freshman atTroy before moving to out-side linebacker as a soph-omore and junior. Thisyear he has played prima-rily at safety and receiverfor the Trojans.• FRESHMAN
STEPS UP: Brewer knewhis team was thin — liter-ally and figuratively — atoffensive line this season,but even he probablynever thought it wouldcome to this.Against Sidney, a
freshman, Jared Bair, sawsignificant playing timeat left guard for theTrojans. Needing to pre-
serve starting left guardSeth Overla to play atdefensive end, Brewerbrought in Bair on thesecond series of the gameand allowed him to playmost of the game there.“He did a nice job in
there,” Brewer said ofBair. “He’s a little light —he only weighs about 190pounds — but he’s aggres-sive, he’s quick and hegets where he needs to be.He’s small right now, buthe’s got the frame to getbigger.”Bair becomes the first
Trojan to see playing timeon the offensive line as afreshman since JakeCurrent started at tackle
in 2004.Brewer said even this
late in the season, he’llhave no hesitation abuotbringing up younger play-ers should the need arise.“We’ve had a couple of
JV guys step up for us,” hesaid. “No position is eversafe. We’re going to playthe best person at theposition. If someone out-works you in practice,they have earned thatplaying time.”• AT A LOSS: The
Trojan defense recordedeight tackles for lossagainst the Yellowjackets— and seemingly every-one got in on the action.Leading the way for
the Trojans was sopho-more defensive end MarcoAnverse, who recorded 3.5tackles for loss.Not far behind was fel-
low defensive end Overla,who finished with 2.5tackles for loss. Three ofTroy’s linebackers also gotin on the fun, withAnthony McCloy record-ing a solo tackle for lossand Logan Schlosser andIan Nadolny also record-ing 0.5 tackles for loss.

� Troy-Butler Preview� Cover Story
Another big testup next for Troy
BY DAVID FONGExecutive Editor
If it sounds like ScotBrewer is repeating him-self, it’s only because,well, he is.“They are big,” Troy’s
football coach said ofButler, tonight’s oppo-nent. “And they are big.And they are big.”That’s become a famil-
iar refrain for the Trojansthis season. Seeminglyevery week, Troy goes upagainst a bigger, strongeropponent — particularlyalong the offensive anddefensive lines. Thisweek will be no different,as the Aviators — despitelosing a pair of Division Icollege players to gradua-tion — bring a massiveoffensive line up againsta Trojan defensive linethat averages less than230 pound per man.“They lost their two
Division I college guys(Taylor Decker, now atOhio State and MilesEaton, now at Ball State),but they are still huge,”Brewer said. “So insteadof averaging 300 poundsper man on their offen-sive line, they average280 on their offensiveline. It’s going to beanother challenge for us,and we are going to haveto be ready for it yetagain. We’ve got to playsmart football. We haveto take good angles andmake sure we don’t letthem outmuscle us.”Because if Butler does
control the line of scrim-mage, it will open thingsup for a pair of skilledplayers. At quarterbck,the Aviators feature dual-threat senior RichardMotter, who played defen-sive back last season.Motter has completed 29of 77 passes for 447 yardswith five touchdowns andfour interceptions thisseason. Unlike the tradi-tional Butler pocket quar-terback, however, Motteralso is a threat to run theball, having carried theball 63 times for 305yards and three touch-downs. He’s Butler’s lead-ing rusher.“Their quarterback
can definitely makethings happen,” Brewersaid. “He can hurt youwith his arm and his feet.He’s quick. He can defi-nitely run the ball. He’sless of a pocket passerthan what they’ve hadthere before. He’ll movearound, run some sprintouts, run some bootleg —he carries the ball a littlemore than their quarter-backs have in the past.”Brewer, too, is worried
about senior flanker
Airion Kosak, who trans-ferred to Butler this sea-son. The 6-foot, 185-pound Kosak can makethings happen both run-ning and catching theball.He’s the Aviators’ lead-
ing receiver with 12catches for 259 yards — arobust 43.2 yard percatch average — andthree touchdowns. He’salso carried the ball 11times for 83 yards.“He’s a great athlete,”
Brewer said. “When youwatch him on film, youcan see he kind of does alittle bit of everything forthem. He’s a quick kidwith good size.“Offensively, they are
all over the place. Theyrun some two-back; theyrun some one-back; theyrun some shotgun. Theytry to spread you out andget the ball in the handsof their playmakers —which are their quarter-back and their flanker.”Troy will counter with
a defense that turned inits best effort of the sea-son last week againstSidney, not only holdingthe Yellowjackets to aseason-low seven points,but also forcing threeinterceptions.“Our defense played
well,” Brewer said.“Sidney throws the ballall over the place, but wedid a pretty good job deal-ing with that.”Offensively, Troy has
struggled to move theball all season. It did putup 26 points against theYellowjackets — butthree of those four touch-downs came off either aninterception or long kick-off return.The Trojans have
struggled to maintainsustained scoring drivesall season — but did pickup a boost last week withthe return of junior quar-terback Matt Barr, whomissed a game with asprained knee.“Defensively, Butler
runs a 4-4 stack,” Brewersaid. “They’ve got a goodpair of three-techniquesand they’ve got two goodinside linebackers. Theyare tough up the middle.They’ve got a lot of fastguys on defense, too. It’sgoing to be another bat-tle, just like we’ve had allyear.”Again, Brewer knows
his team will need to bementally ready going intotonight’s game.“It’s going to be a hard-
hitting game — it alwaysis with them,” Brewer said.“It’s going to come down towho wants it more.

Livin’largeTrojan‘backersmake plays
BY DAVID FONGExecutive Editor
Anthony McCloy has anidea in his mind of whatan ideal linebacker shouldlook like — and it ain’tLogan Schlosser.
“I think a linebackershould look like Schlosser… only bigger,” saidMcCloy, himself a line-backer on the Troy HighSchool football team.
Ian Nadolny also hassome ideas about what anideal linebacker shouldlook like.
“He should be about 6-foot-2 and weigh 215pounds,” said Nadolny, alsoa senior linebacker on theTroy football team.
All three of Troy’s sen-ior linebackers know whata prototypical linebacker
should look like — andalso know they’ll nevermeasure up. But when itcomes to Troy’s defense, allthree are a perfect fit.
“Teams are not intimi-dated by our linebackers,”Troy coach Scot Brewersaid. “Against Springfield,I didn’t even want to goout there to warm up. Allof their linebackers are 6-foot-3, 220-pound studs —and then there’s our guys.I almost wished I could upa curtain at midfield sothey couldn’t see our line-backers. I didn’t want any-one to know we were start-ing 5-foot-5, 110-poundlinebackers.
“But I’ll tell you what— I wouldn’t trade ourthree linebackers for any-body else in the world. Ilove our guys.”
While there may be lotsfor Brewer to love in a fig-urative sense — there sureisn’t much to love in a lit-eral sense. Generously list-ed in the program at 5-foot-6, 170 pounds,Schlosser is the runt of thealready smallish litter.McCloy, all 5-foot-10, 170pounds of him, isn’t muchbigger.
Nadonly is the closestthing to an ideal size for alinebacker — he’s listed at6-foot-2, 195 pounds — butdespite working part timeon the grill at a localrestaurant, he hasn’t beenable to pack nearly enoughpounds on his slenderframe.
Truth be told, they look
a lot more like members ofthe student governmentthan rugged football play-ers — which, as it turnsout, two-thirds of themare. Schlosser is the presi-dent of the Troy HighSchool student govern-ment, while Nadolny is hisvice president.
Despite their diminu-tive size and choir boylooks, however, all Troy’slinebackers seem to do ismake plays.
All three are amongstthe team leaders in tacklesthis season.
Through six games,Schlosser leads the teamin tackles with 77, includ-ing four tackles for loss,one sack, two recoveredfumbles, one forced fum-ble, an interception and ablocked punt. Nadolny hasrecorded 42 tackles,including six tackles forloss, four quarterback hur-ries, one sack, one passbroken up and a fumblerecovery. McCloy has 51tackles with two tacklesfor loss and a sack.
All three agree thatwhat they may lack insize, they make up for in
other ways.Nadolny is the most
cerebral of the bunch.“We just do what we
are coached to do and fillour gaps,” he said.
Schlosser brings a lowcenter of gravity and hitsthe hardest of the bunch.
“I hit like I’m 215pounds,” he said.
And Nadolny, Schlosserand Brewer all readilyagree McCloy is the mean-est of the bunch.
“McCloy is like a blinddog in a meat factory,”Brewer said, stealing aphrase from assistantcoach Ryan Pelphrey. “Hejust chases down anythingthat runs by him. There’sno fear there. For twoyears, we beat the (heck)out of him on our scoutteam, playing him at run-ning back and linebackeragainst our varsity. Nomatter how hard he gothit or how many times hegot hit, he just kept com-ing back for more.
“Schlosser is just a play-maker. He’s just tough asnails. When he got aninterception last week, hewasn’t looking to avoid
somebody and score, hewas looking for someone torun over. Physically, he’sthe leader of this team.Mentally, Nadolny is theleader of the team. He’ssuch a smart kid. He’snever out of position. Hefinds a way to make plays.”
Getting hit as hard asthey do by Troy’s tiny line-backers seems to frustratelarger opponents — partic-ularly when it’s Schlosserdoing the hitting. He’sbeen in numerous scrapesafter the whistle this sea-son, including getting hishelmet torn off his head ina scrimmage againstReynoldsburg and gettingpunched in the faceagainst Xenia.
And the trash talk isincessant.
“People talk to me allthe time,” Schlosser said.“It never stops.”
And what sorts ofthings do they say?
“I’m not sure it’s fit toprint in a newspaper,”McCloy said.
Which is fine by Troy’slinebackers — they’drather let their actions dothe talking anyway.

QUARTERBACKSIt’s dueling dual-threat quarterbacks with Braxton Miller
going against Nebraska’s Taylor Martinez.Miller has rushed for 933 yards, second overall in the Big
Ten, passed for 577 yards and eight touchdowns and com-pleted 63 percent of his passes. Martinez had thrown for 1,059 yards and 11 touchdowns and rushed for 298 yards.
Miller ranks second overall in the Big Ten in rushing and his 90 carries are more than all but four Big Ten running backs have.
Advantage: Ohio State
RUNNING BACKSWith Jordan Hall expected to be out with a partial tear of
the posterior cruciate ligament in his knee, backfield depth is a question for Ohio State. Carlos Hyde, who rushed for 49 yards in a 17-16 win over Michigan State last week, is the only proven back the Buckeyes have. Hall’s absence also leaves Ohio State looking for a big-play threat other than Miller in the backfield.
For Nebraska, Rex Burkhead (273 yards on 29 carries) rushed for 1,357 yards last season but has started slowly this year after missing two games with a knee injury. Ameer Abdullah (486 yards, 5 touchdowns) has emerged as the top running threat.
Advantage: Nebraska
RECEIVERSCorey Brown’s 12 catches against Michigan State tied
him for fourth all-time in a single game at Ohio State and was only two short of the record of 14 by David Boston. Brown (32 catches, 317 yards) has more than doubled his total of 14 receptions last season. Devin Smith (19 catches, 351 yards, 4 TDs) continues to be the big-play receiver in OSU’s offense.
Quincy Enunwa’s 16 catches lead Nebraska, but Kenny Bell (15 catches, 330 yards, 4 TDs) has been the most productive pass catcher for the Cornhuskers.
Advantage: Ohio State
OFFENSIVE LINEOSU coach Urban Meyer says he really likes the Buck-
eyes’ top five offensive linemen but he sees a significant gap between the starters and their backups. The line played its best game of the season at Michigan State and dominated the Spartans’ defense when Ohio State ran out the last four minutes of the game without having to punt.
Nebraska leads the Big Ten in scoring, total offense and rushing. Guards Spencer Long and Seung Hoon Choi and tackle Jer-emiah Serles are two-year starters.
Advantage: Nebraska
DEFENSIVE LINEDefensive tackle Johnathan Hankins and ends John
Simon and Nathan Williams led the way when Ohio State held Michigan State’s Le’Veon Bell to 45 yards on 17 carries. Michael Bennett, who was expected to start this season, got into a game for the first time after being sidelined by a groin injury.
OSU and Nebraska are tied for the Big Ten lead in sacks (5). The Cornhusk-ers, who were shredded for 344 yards rushing in their only loss, 36-30 to UCLA, limited Wisconsin to 60 yards on the ground in a come-from-behind 30-27 win last week. End Cameron Meredith and tackle Baker Steinkuhler are three-year starters and end Eric Martin has 3.5 sacks this season.
Advantage: Ohio State
LINEBACKERSEtienne Sabino had eight tackles and a sack at Michigan State and Ryan
Shazier was singled out by Meyer for his improvement in recent games. Middle linebacker remains a question, with neither Storm Klein or Curtis Grant producing what OSU is looking for at that position.
Nebraska’s Will Compton leads the team in tackles (44) and has six tack-les for losses. Three of those tackles for loss came against Wisconsin. Like Ohio State, the Cornhuskers have played two linebackers most of the season because they’ve faced few traditional offenses.
Advantage: Even
DEFENSIVE BACKS Bradley Roby came back strong against Michigan State after sitting out the
UAB game with a shoulder injury. Safety C.J. Barnett, who has missed the last two games with an ankle injury, is expected to return.
OSU is tied for second in the Big Ten in interceptions with seven. Nebraska has only three. But the Buckeyes rank eleventh in the Big Ten in pass defense and Nebraska is fourth, but the Cornhuskers have allowed seven passing TDs, compared to five for Ohio State.
Advantage: Even
SPECIAL TEAMSOhio State kicker Drew Basil is 2 of 2 on field
goals and Nebraska’s Brett Maher is 7 of 12. Sixty-six percent of Maher’s kickoffs have been touch-backs and 33 percent of OSU’s have been.
Advantage: Ohio State
COLUMBUS — The answer Ohio State linebacker Etienne Sabino gave was exactly what you would expect.
Asked how surrendering a 21-point lead and losing 34-27 to Nebraska last season would affect him when Ohio State plays the Cornhuskers on Saturday night at Ohio Stadium, he said, “Last year was last year. I’m not going to forget it but I’m not going to dwell on it.”
Football players and coaches always tell you the past doesn’t matter. Until it matters.
Nebraska came from 17 points down to beat Wisconsin last Sat-urday night. And OSU defensive line coach Mike Vrabel has no doubts they were thinking about last year’s Ohio State game.
“I’m sure they drew on last year’s Ohio State game at some point in time. Bo Pelini said, ‘Guys we were in this spot against Ohio State, same stadium, same time of night and this is what we did.’ As a player you can say, ‘Yeah coach, you’re right,’” Vrabel said.
So, if the past is not really in the past, what are the games in the last 20 years the current or former Ohio State players probably would most like to have a chance to do over? Here’s my list:
1. Ohio State-Michigan 1995. If Ohio State had won, it would have gone to the Rose Bowl and had a shot at a national champi-onship.
Instead, the Wolverines won 31-23 in Ann Arbor. Also, surren-dering a school-record 317 yards rushing to Tshimanga Biakabu-tuka still stings.
2. Ohio State-Michigan State 1998. The stunner against which all stunners since then have been measured. If OSU — which led by 15 points in the second half at home — had won, a national championship was within reach. But Michigan State, a sub-.500 team, shocked the unbeaten Buckeyes 28-24.
3. Ohio State-Florida 2006. SEC. Gator Chomp. 41-14. Flor-ida upsets No. 1 Ohio State in the BCS title game. Who knew Urban Meyer would be on the other side just five years later?
4. Ohio State-Michigan 1996. OSU’s offense couldn’t score touchdowns. Shawn Springs slipped. John Cooper changed starting quarterbacks with an unbeaten record. Another national championship dream ended in a 13-9 Michigan win.
5. Ohio State-Penn State 2005. Losing to Texas earlier in the season might not have sunk the Buckeyes’ BCS championship hopes but this 17-10 loss did.
