Thrift Shop plans expansion

DELPHOS The Church Women Uniteds Interfaith Thrift Shop will soon have more space for social services, storage and retail. Peterson Construction workers moved the shops two storage sheds behind the building at First and Main streets on Tuesday to make room for demolition crews to tear down the former Jauman Insurance building at 110 N. Main St., north of the thrift shop. Once the old building is gone, another 2,738 square feet will be added on the north side of the existing building. The new space will house the food pantry and other social services, as well as some retail and storage space. Project Coordinator George Mox said the shop has been working on plans for the expansion for a couple of years and hopes to have the new addition closed in before winter hits and open in early Spring 2012. The Thrift Shop has been using the Jauman building for storage up until now, he said. When the addition is complete, everything will be under one roof. The Jauman building is expected to be The old Jauman Insurance building demolished any day.

DELPHOS Delphos City Schools Board of Education members took the first of two steps necessary to place a 5.5-mill Current Operating Expense Levy renewal on the ballot for the March Primary. The board approved retaining the legal services of Squire, Sanders & Dempsey to provide the legal paperwork to renew the expiring operating levy and approved a resolution declaring it necessary to renew an existing current expense levy and requested the county auditor to certify the total current tax valuation of the school district and the dollar amount of revenue that would be generated. The levy was first approved in 1992 and generates approximately $572,211 each year. A special board meeting has been set for 8 p.m. Nov. 28 for the second step necessary to place the levy on the March ballot. The Finance Committee report included discussion brought up by a citizen concerned the district was going to receive a windfall from the Van Wert County tax revaluation. The members and guests searched and discussed a way to explain that the only increase in tax receipts for the school comes from the 4.7 inside mills. Therefore, the net increase in valuation in Van Wert County from revaluation is $2,121,310 mul-

tiplied by .0047, giving the school an increase in revenue of $9,970.16. It is important to note that several properties in Van Wert County will pay more taxes in the coming year but many will pay less because of the reduction factors from the 1976 House Bill 920, Treasurer Brad Rostorfer said. The district will receive increased revenues from the $578,890 of new construction in Van Wert County, under the current effective rates that would generate $13,858. With the HB920 reduction, the effective rate will be lower on that, thus producing slightly less. The two newly-elected board members attended the meeting. Joe Rode and Michael Wulfhorst will take their seats on the board in January. In other business, the board: Approved the following list of volunteers for the winter sports season: girls basketball Ryan Carder, Butch Lucas; and wrestling Cade Bevington, Andrew Swick, Jamie Rassman and Stuart Miller; and Accepted the resignation of bus driver Pat Recker. She has been with the district for 35 years. Bus driver Barb Haggard also resigned the afternoon portion of her route. Haggard has accepted another position but has agreed to drive the morning portion due to a driver shortage.

Oechsle announces retirement at annual fair meeting

By Kirk Dougal Times Bulletin Editor VAN WERT - The Van Wert County Agricultural Society held its annual meeting on Saturday and it was announced that a familiar face from the Van Wert County Fair will soon be stepping down after serving the community for more than 40 years. Fair Manager Paul Oechsle announced his retirement effective December 31 at the meeting. Oechsle became a director on the Fair Board on Dec, 27, 1965, before leaving in December 2007. He stayed on as the fair manager from then until the present, also serving as the secretary of the board for more than 20 years. I have enjoyed the fair and 4-H for all these years and hope to continue to enjoy it for many years to come, Oechsle said. I just want to take some time to travel and also see some other fairs. I hope the fair continues to improve and get better every year. I believe the Van Wert County Fair is the greatest fair in Ohio and will continue to be for a long time. The executive committee will meet on Nov. 16 to discuss options for the fair manager position. New officers were also elected for 2012 during the meeting. Dave Evans will return as president while Brad Taylor will be the vicepresident and Tim Short will see to the treasurer responsibilities. An appointment was not made for the secretary position on Saturday. The fair board also approved a list of items for the 2012 year: The fair dates are awaiting approval from the State of Ohio but have been tenta-

COLUMBUS (AP) The leader of the Ohio House says state lawmakers are still discussing a revised congressional map and have yet to reach an agreement. House Speaker William Batchelder says he and fellow Republicans wanted to pass the measure today, but spokesman Mike Dittoe says it will not go to the House floor. Today is the last scheduled voting session for the chamber this month. Dittoe says it doesnt make sense bring the bill before lawmakers without votes needed to make it effective immediately. Republicans would need seven Democratic votes. U.S. House district lines approved in September are in limbo pending a Democratic repeal effort. State lawmakers would need to pass a revised map before Dec. 7 to avoid holding a presidential and U.S. House primary in June and other primary contests in March.

Jeb Hensarling told CNBC Tuesday that the bipartisan debt supercommittee is somewhat stymied for the moment because panel Democrats are insisting on tax increases of up to $1 trillion in exchange for cost curbs on rapidly spiraling benefit programs such as Medicare and Social Security. The top Democrat on the deficit supercommittee, Sen. Patty Murray of Washington, countered that its up to Republicans to send a credible offer with real revenue to jump-start talks that seem to have mostly stalled since a swap of offers last week. The deficit for the just-completed budget year was $1.3 trillion, requiring the government to borrow 36 cents for every dollar it spends. Even a successful negotiation that produces $1.2 trillion in cuts will still leave a deficit crisis that requires painful choices by policymakers on taxes and benefits programs, budget experts agree. The backbiting has intensified since the exchange of By PAULINE JELINEK Associated Press offers. The Democrats most recent plan called for $2.3 trillion in deficit cuts, including a $1 trillion tax increase over the coming decade. Republicans countered with almost $300 billion in new tax revenues as part of a $1.5 trillion debt plan, an offer that even a top Democrat, Majority Whip Dick Durbin of Illinois, called a breakthrough. The Democrats wont put a plan on the table to solve the problem, and anything they do that even remotely addresses health care, even superficially, theyre insisting on a $1 trillion tax increase, Hensarling said. Its not going to happen. The debt panel is charged with coming up with at least $1.2 trillion in deficit cuts over the coming decade as part of a bargain between President Barack Obama and House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, this summer. Failure would trigger across-the-board spending cuts that especially alarm defense hawks. Boehner publicly blessed the GOP offer on taxes Tuesday, bucking opposition by some GOP presidential hopefuls and colleagues wary of violating a longstanding point of party orthodoxy. The supercommittee has until a week from today to vote on any compromise, but several officials said that in reality, perhaps as little as 48 or 72 hours are available to the six Republicans and six Democrats. While Boehners voice is Defense Secretary Leon Panetta has warned Congress that a half-trillion-dollar cut, on top of $450 billion in savings already planned by the military, would be devastating for the department. Korb disagrees. Theyre acting like good bureaucrats ... trying to protect their rice bowls, he said. Added Christopher Preble of the libertarian Cato Institute, The taxpayer should understand how much we spend on the military and how much that spending has grown. In the 10 years since the Sept. 11 terror attacks, annual budgets for the military have nearly doubled to close to $700 billion. The U.S. accounts for nearly half of the defense money spent around the world more than the next 17 nations combined. The U.S. naval fleet is as big as the next 13 navies combined, according to various analyses and some of the Pentagons own accounting in recent years. Though many believe the automatic cuts will never come to pass, here are some points and counterpoints in the

IT WAS NEWS THEN

WASHINGTON (AP) Many Republican voters are drawn to Herman Cains forceful campaign style. But an examination of his comments and proposals raises questions about his grasp of issues he would face if elected president. Cain has drawn unwanted attention for contradictory or unorthodox comments on abortion, China policy, immigration, torture and other matters. He has struggled to answer some questions about health policy and Libya, at times openly laboring to retrieve facts or talking points. On a few occasions he has quickly corrected his statements. Other times he has laughed off his critics, telling people to have a sense of humor. His against-the-grain style appeals to some conservatives, especially those weary of full-time politicians with well-rehearsed stands. What some find refreshing, however, strikes others as betraying a troubling inexperience, or even a lack of seriousness and judgment. His string of puzzling remarks has created an image of him as not being up to this task, GOP political strategist Karl Rove recently told Fox News. The latest incident involved Cains uncomfortably long struggle Monday to say whether he agreed with President Barack Obamas handling of Libya and the ouster of Moammar Gadhafi. In a widely distributed video interview, Cain fidgeted, stared at the ceiling and talked of having all this stuff twirling around in my head. Cains recent misstatements or debatable assertions suggest he is not surviving the glare of the spotlight right now, Chris Chocola, head of the conservative Club for Growth, said Tuesday on MSNBC.

Cain comments raise questions

Pentagon spending cuts: Dangerous or just overdue?

important, his endorsement does not mean all Republicans will follow him or a deal is in sight. Republicans have been unified for two decades in opposition to higher taxes, while Democrats on the supercommittee insist on additional revenue before they will agree to cuts in benefit programs as part of a compromise. Boehner said the plan, outlined a week ago to Democrats on the committee, was a fair offer. Adding an overhaul of the federal tax code would generate economic growth, he said. The full committee hasnt met in several days, but various subgroups have been in near constant contact. More than deficit reduction is at stake, one year into an era of divided government. Democrats are hoping to add elements of President Barack Obamas jobs legislation to any deficit-cutting deal, including extensions of a Social Security payroll tax cut and unemployment benefits that are due to expire at the end of the year. But their proposal to use savings from shrinking war spending is opposed by some Republicans. A comprehensive rewrite of farm programs may hang in the balance, too, and lawmakers also must pass legislation to ensure sufficient funds to reimburse doctors who treat Medicare patients. The twin issues of taxes and benefit programs have long been stumbling blocks in budget negotiations. debate over looming spending cuts: Panetta told senators in a letter this week that after a decade of the threatened cuts, the U.S. would have the smallest ground force since 1940, the smallest number of ships since 1915 and the smallest Air Force ever. But its not about the numbers, according to Todd Harrison of the Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments. Greater firepower and tonnage make todays naval fleet smaller but more powerful, he said. Likewise, Korb suggests the U.S. could safely reduce the number of Navy aircraft carriers and Air Force fighters by 25 percent because the military can rely on unmanned planes and precision-guided munitions. Defense officials have said the Army and Marines could be decreased by some 65,000 troops or more. Korb suggests cutting 100,000 troops to return to pre-Sept. 11 levels and slashing the nations arsenal of nuclear weapons from 5,000 to 311.

Winkin, blinkin and noddin off

WASHINGTON As the GOP candidates have been thrashing it out in debates that seem to occur every couple of hours or so, one almost misses the iconic wink that enraged or beguiled the nation a political season ago. Admit it. You miss Sarah Palin just a little: The wink, the red shoes, the pointing finger, the heck-with-ya attitude and, given the performance of some of her Republican colleagues, her Taser-like intelligence. Yes, it has come to this. It helped a lot that Palin was an attractive woman. A man winks during a debate for the highest or second-highest office in the land, and hes not cute or flirty or sending sparks ricocheting around the living rooms of conservative magazine editors. Hes an idiot. Even so, Rick Perry could have used a little winkage when his mind blanked during a recent debate and he couldnt recall that in which he passionately believes. Something about government agencies that should be dismantled. Having stepped in it, as he put it, Perry took the only exit possible and hit the late-night comedy hour. If you cant be taken seriously as a presidential candidate, you may as well be funny. Bring it! Alas, Perry wasnt as amusing as he was comical when he appeared on the Late Show with David Letterman. It was rather sad seeing the Texas governor centered in a carnivalesque spotlight reciting the 10 reasons he forgot what he so ardently believes, as though they were merely forgotten lines in a memorized poem. Lettermans writers had some swell lines for ol Rick, but ultimately, the act was as cringe-inducing as the flub itself. Perry seemed like a child being brought out to amuse the adults. The line between laughing with and laughing at was a tightrope stretched between mirth and pity. It is one thing to be selfeffacing and to have a sense of humor about ones self. We love that. It is another to be a clown. The thrice-elected governor of the nations secondlargest state has earned better. Next in the parade of painful moments was Herman Cains floundering during an interview at the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. He was asked a simple question: Did you agree with President Obamas handling of Libya? Libya, Libya, Libya, Gaddafi, opposition, dang, what was that thing? Anyone? Anyone? For minutes that seemed hours, Cain seemed to be shuffling through file drawers of bullet points in his brain and was coming up empty. He said he did not agree with the way he handled it for the following reason. Um, nope, thats a different one, he said, batting away an errant thought with

WASHINGTON What are taxpayers supposed to think? The Pentagon says threatened budget cuts will invite aggression, endanger national security and devastate its operations. Though that view has plenty of adherents, there also are plenty of naysayers who call the Defense Departments predictions a scare tactic by bureaucrats desperate to protect their turf. This is palpable nonsense ... the idea that somehow or another this is going to be Armageddon, said Lawrence Korb, a former assistant defense secretary who is a senior fellow at the leftleaning Center for American Progress. At issue is the Pentagons effort to prevent $500 billion in automatic, across-the-board defense budget cuts over 10 years if a bipartisan congressional supercommittee cant agree by Nov. 23 on $1.2 trillion or more in deficit reductions over a decade.

Point of View
his hand. It got worse: I gotta go back, see, got all this stuff twirling around in my head. No doubt. With the sexual harassment charges dogging his campaign and the exhausting pace of debates, book touring and speeches Cain is surely worn out. On the one hand, we sympathize. We all have brain freezes. On the other, we dont all run for president. Even a presidential candidate suffers no dishonor by sometimes admitting he doesnt know an answer. Giving Cain credit to the limited extent due, he has made clear that he doesnt know every little thing, but has promised to hire smart people who do. During a Q-and-A following a luncheon speech at the National Press Club a couple of weeks ago, he oddly

handed off a question about his 9-9-9 tax plan to Rich Lowrie, the plans architect. Immediately afterward, he volunteered to me that he could have answered the question himself, but he was tired. This had been his third event of the day, after all, and his voice was weakening. It had came back strong at the end of the luncheon, however, when Cain closed by singing He Looked Beyond My Faults. Wink. Perry and Cain are both talented men who deserve more than our contempt. Nevertheless, it has become clear that they are not now presidential material. We may indeed overlook their faults, but we neednt excuse what are more than mere lapses. Their lack of knowledge or recall suggests a lack of depth and an absence of seriousness. We expect more from those who pretend to the throne. And though Americans admire the self-made who have experienced ordinary life, most dont want an ordinary person to lead the country. A funny line is worth a laugh, a song may buy you lunch, but in the end, theres no winking ones way to the White House. Katheen Parkers email address is kathleenparker@ washpost.com.

Verlander unanimously wins Cy Young; is MVP next?

By BEN WALKER The Associated Press NEW YORK Justin Verlander was ready to jump into the debate. Shortly after winning the AL Cy Young Award on Tuesday in a unanimous vote, the Detroit Tigers ace took on the far more intriguing question: will he capture the MVP trophy, too? Do I think its possible? Yes. Would I like to win it? Of course, he replied during a conference call. Its kind of a weird scenario. No starting pitcher has won the MVP since Roger Clemens in 1986, with Dennis Eckersley the last reliever to get it in 1992. Many say pitchers shouldnt win the MVP, period, contending they already have their own award. Pitchers are on the ballot, Verlander said. Bolstering the case for all pitchers, Verlander pointed to the tremendous effect we have on the day of our game. His season he won the pitching version of the Triple Crown, led Detroit to its first division crown in 24 years and drew every first-place vote in the Cy Young race definitely has ratcheted up the discussion in a crowded MVP field that includes Curtis Granderson, Jacoby Ellsbury, Jose Bautista, Miguel Cabrera and more. Im so different from everybody, he said. If he doesnt win, Verlander said hed like to see Granderson, his former teammate, get the award. Clayton Kershaw of the Los Angeles Dodgers is the favorite to win the NL Cy Young when the results are released Thursday. He won the NL pitching Triple Crown, leading with a 2.28 ERA and 248 strikeouts and tying for wins at 21. The AL and NL Managers of the Year will be announced today. Verlander breezed to the Cy Young, much the way he humbled hitters with his 100mph fastball, sharp curve and wicked slider. Verlander led the majors in wins by going 24-5 and topped baseball with 250 strikeouts. His 2.40 ERA was the best among AL pitchers who qualified for the title. The 28-year-old righty was listed on top on all 28 ballots by members of the Baseball Writers Association of America and finished with 196 points. Jered Weaver (18-8, 2.41) of the Los Angeles Angels was the only other pitcher listed on every ballot and second with 97 points. James Shields of Tampa Bay was third with 66, followed by CC Sabathia of the New York Yankees with 63. Tigers reliever Jose Valverde, who was perfect in 49 save chances, was fifth with 28. Verlander pitched his second career no-hitter, won 12 straight starts down the stretch and helped the Tigers take the AL Central. In many games, he was simply unhittable. He pitched a no-hitter on May 7 at Toronto, missing a perfect game just by an eighth-inning walk on a full-count delivery. In his next start, he held Kansas City hitless for 5 2/3 innings. Johnny Vander Meer is the only pitcher to throw back-to-back no-hitters. Later in the season, the 6-5 star took a pair of no-hit bids into the eighth inning one of those came on July 31 against Weaver and the Angels, a 3-2 win at Detroit. Verlander also led the majors with 251 innings, all while issuing a career-low 57

Alex Wehri (24 pancake blocks), Brice three backs either over or Schulte (10) and Seth Bockey near 1,000 yards rushing and we held them to 118 yards of (8) lead the way up front. The key for us is the line total offense or thereabouts. Wade is focused on conducting the offseason baseball operations of the Houston Astros, even if his future with the team is uncertain. With the proposed sale of the team from Drayton McLane to Jim Crane expected to be approved Thursday by major-league owners, Wade is not fretting. Hes working. Were business as usual. The proposed change or whatever which way you would say it, its been there, he said Tuesday as general managers opened meetings at a downtown Milwaukee hotel. Wade was the GM in Philadelphia before taking the job Houston and knows that the games shifts are numerous. In fact, the Astros will likely end up in the AL after the sale is approved. Another GM is seeing some clarity following a tumultuous period Ned Colletti of the Los Angeles Dodgers. Dodgers owner Frank McCourt and Major League Baseball have agreed to a court-supervised sale of the once glamorous and now bankrupt franchise. While the sides hope for a quick deal, giving McCourt the money to pay his divorce settlement by April, MLB sales sometimes drag on for six months to 1 1/2 years. Once bidders are identified, the court is likely to conduct an auction. Colletti said the Dodgers were still working on details for Matt Kemps 8-year, $160 million contract and that it could be completed before Thanksgiving. Scott Boras, the agent for Prince Fielder, met with Brewers GM Doug Melvin on Tuesday. Fielder and Albert Pujols are the marquee free agents this offseason.

Verlander walks. He pitched four complete games, including two shutouts. This was the ninth time there was a unanimous winner of the AL Cy Young and first since Johan Santana in 2006, when he won the AL pitching Triple Crown. This was the fourth time a Detroit pitcher won it, with Denny McLain earning the award in 1968 and tying for the honor in 1969 and reliever Willie Hernandez winning in 1984. McLain, in 1968, and Hernandez went on to win the AL MVP awards, too. A 4-time All-Star, Verlander became the first former AL Rookie of the Year to also take the Cy Young. This win included a $500,000 bonus to his $12.75 million salary in 2011. Verlander has started his offseason workout program and plans to wait until January before throwing again. The only thing missing from Verlanders pitching resume is a World Series title. He is 3-3 with a 5.57 ERA in eight career postseason starts and went 2-1 in the playoffs this year as the Tigers reached the AL championship series before losing to Texas.

Jackets blast Kalamazoo to open 2011-2012 campaign KALAMAZOO, Mich. Defiance College outscored the Hornets of Kalamazoo by a 49-32 margin in the second half and cruised to a seasonopening 91-69 victory on the road to open the 2011-2012 season on Tuesday evening. Logan Wolfrum netted the first five points of the season for the Yellow Jackets and eventually scored 11 of DCs first 17 to push the squad to a 17-14 lead midway through the opening half. Wolfrum went on to pour in 16 points in the opening 20 minutes as Defiance carried a slim 42-37 advantage into the half. The Jackets showcased an improved defense in the second half, holding Kalamazoo to 30.4-percent shooting from the floor and forcing 12 Hornet turnovers. DCs highpowered offensive attack took care of the rest, dumping in 49 points on 17-of-28 shooting in the half to take control. Defiance pushed the spread into double figures to stay with a 9-0 spurt that opened up a 64-49 gap with 11:04 remaining in the contest. It swelled to 23 on a triple from Wolfrum for a commanding 82-59 cushion with just over five minutes left on the clock and went as high as 24 points, before settling on the 22-point margin of victory. Mason Roth and Ryan Hicks combined for 18 points to fuel the second-half charge but the headliner was Wolfrum, who ended the night with 23 points, six rebounds, three steals and one block in his 28 minutes of work. Roth excelled at the point with 13 points, five assists and two thefts, while Hicks ended with 14 points and Kyle Tietje scored 12 to go with four boards. When the dust had settled, Defiance had seen 17 players touch

Coach K alone atop Division I list

By JIM OCONNELL The Associated Press NEW YORK Mike Krzyzewski will keep adding to his record victory total. There is no doubt about that. How long he stays on the Duke bench and how far he goes past No. 903 is anyones guess. I just play every game the same and they just kept adding up, Krzyzewski said after the sixth-ranked Blue Devils 74-69 victory over Michigan State on Tuesday night in the State Farm Champions Classic. That win broke a tie with Bob Knight, his college coach and professional mentor, for the most in Division I. I think it will mean a lot more when its all over and I dont know when that will be. I want to win a championship with each team I coach. There were quite few of Krzyzewskis former players at Madison Square Garden to see him break the record. I cant say Im surprised because I saw firsthand the level of preparation, the level of passion he put into his program every single day, said Shane Battier, who won an NCAA championship with Krzyzewski. I know if you gave him enough opportunity, hed give Bobby Knight a run for his money. Its just amazing to be here on this night to see the culmination of this work. Like many others, Battier doesnt think the 64-yearold Krzyzewski will be done adding to the win total for several years. Hes ageless. He looks great. He looks the same as when I was a freshman, Battier said. Theres no reason to think he wont be around for many years to come. With Knight sitting across the court at the ESPN broadcast table, Krzyzewski moved to the top of the list in front of a sellout crowd of 19,979 at Madison Square Garden. Duke is 26-15 all-time, including a 21-7 mark under Krzyzewski, at Madison Square Garden and the Blue Devils have won 12 of their last 14 there. Setting the record at Madison Square Garden was truly special, Krzyzewski said. To me, this is hallowed ground and it just worked out. Krzyzewski went right across the court to hug Knight when the game ended. Krzyzewski, tears in his eyes, broke away and Knight pulled him back, hands on his shoulders, then there was one final slap of the shoulder. I just told Coach I love him, Krzyzewski said. I wouldnt be in this position without him. Its a moment shared. I know hes very proud and Im very proud to have been somebody whos worked under him and studied him and tried to be like him. Im not sure how many people tell him they love him but I love him for what hes

Krzyzewski done for me and I thanked him. He said Boy, youve done pretty good for a kid who couldnt shoot. I think that means he loves me, too. At least thats how Im taking that. Junior guard Andre Dawkins had 26 points for Duke (3-0), which took control with a 20-1 run that gave the Blue Devils a 61-41 lead with 9:17 to play. Then it was just a matter of counting down the minutes except for a late run by Michigan State that made it a 5-point game in the final minute until the celebration could get under way. It means a lot. Theres only going to be 13 guys that can say they played on the team that got the 903rd win. I mean, to be one of those 13 guys is an amazing feeling, Dawkins said. To be honest, Im not sure that Ive really got a grasp of that yet. Im sure down the road, looking back, when I look back on my career I can say, Wow,

ROUNDUP

thats pretty amazing. Dawkins, who had six 3-pointers, and Ryan Kelly hit 3s to start Dukes big run. As Michigan State (0-2) kept missing shots down low, Seth Curry hit another 3 for Duke and then the Blue Devils closed the run by making 6-of-6 attempts at the freethrow line. The Spartans kept Krzyzewski coaching to the final minute. They finally started hitting shots and forcing turnovers to close to 74-69 with 12.9 seconds left. Curry had 20 points while Kelly added 14 for the Blue Devils, who were 10-of-21 from 3-point range. Duke led 34-33 at the end of a sloppy first half. Its a special moment, Krzyzewski said of his family and former players being there. At halftime, I wasnt sure we were going to have this moment. We beat a really good team and Im glad now we can just move on and just develop our team. Keith Appling had 22 points for Michigan State and Brandon Wood added 15. The Spartans finished with 21 turnovers. I was in a no-win situation, Michigan State coach Tom Izzo said. I was either going to be the guy who threw the ball to Henry Aaron for the record-breaker or the guy who shot Bambi. Krzyzewski moved to the top of the list in his 37th season, all but five at Duke. He also coached at West Point,

The Associated Press PRO BASKETBALL NEW YORK Locked-out NBA players including Carmelo Anthony and Kevin Durant filed class-action antitrust lawsuits against the league in at least two states, saying David Sterns ultimatums left them no other choice. Attorney David Boies, who represented the NFL during that sports work stoppage and now has been brought aboard by basketballs players, said the NBA lockout violates antitrust laws by refusing to allow players to work. Boies added that Sterns ultimatum to the now-disbanded union to accept the owners last economic model or face a harsher proposal turned out to be a mistake that strengthens the players case because it proves that the collective bargaining process had ended.

European economy stalled, report says

By CARLO PIOVANO and PAN PYLAS AP Business Writer LONDON Europe appears headed for a recession if it isnt in one already. Economic growth has all but stopped in Europe, statistics showed Tuesday. The stall comes just when Italy, Greece and other nations need growth to help them wriggle out of the chokehold of debt. The European Union economy grew a paltry 0.2 percent in July, August and September compared with the three months before, the EU statistics agency said. That is the same growth rate as the previous quarter, and far slower than the 0.7 percent before that. And the picture is probably even worse. The statistics did not include Italy and Greece, the two countries in the most debt trouble. And their debt crisis only got worse in October, the month after this snapshot was taken. Besides lowering standards of living and hurting the job market in Europe, a recession would be bad news for the U.S., which sells 20 percent of its exports to Europe, and for Asia. Taken as a whole, Europe also has the largest economy in the world, producing $16.2 trillion in goods and services last year. The United States produced $14.5 trillion last year, China $5.9 trillion. So economic sickness in Europe has the ability to slow growth around the world. People are uncertain, said Ferdinand Fichtner of the German Economic Institute DIW. That is poison for growth. Fear that the economic slowdown will make the debt crisis worse were evident in financial markets Tuesday. Borrowing costs rose for many nations, an indication that investors are nervous about lending to them. In Italy, the yield on the closely watched 10-year bond rose back above 7 percent, even though a new government has replaced the dysfunctional regime of Silvio Berlusconi. The yield rose above 7 percent for the first time last week and helped drive Berlusconi from office. And yields of 7 percent forced Greece and other European countries to seek bailouts.

Raabe Ford wins 2011 Overall Service Satisfaction trophy

Ford Motor Company Region Zone Manager Barry Parker presents Raabe Ford General Manager Randy Custer with the 2011 Overall Service Satisfaction trophy as Service Manager George Berelsman and the rest of the service team look on. The service team consists of, in no order, Service Writers Ben Neumeier and Tim Smith; Ase Master Technicians Larry Smith and Ron Reindel; Ford Senior Master and Ase Master Technicians Larry Miller and Craig Honigford; Ford Master Technician Tony Langmeyer; and Ford Trained Technicians Brian Mueller and Andrew Courter. The Overall Service Satisfaction Trophy is a traveling trophy throughout the year and the dealership with the highest overall service satisfaction for the year ending in September wins $1,000 and permanent possession of the trophy. Overall Service Satisfaction is based on surveys returned by customers after repair visits and warranty and customer-paired repairs. Raabe placed first in the Detroit Region in Zone 4. In addition to the trophy, Custer, Berelsman and their wives were honored at an executive dinner reception at the Henry Ford Estate in Dearborn, Mich., on Nov. 2 with Senior Ford Customer Service Division management.

Italy hides homeless from tourists to create image

By VICTOR L. SIMPSON and COLLEEN BARRY Associated Press ROME They line up at soup kitchens by the thousands. Individual debt is rising, savings are eroding and many young people have simply given up, staying home without studying or even looking for a job. They are Italys invisible poor, unseen by tourists, ignored by the countrys fat-cat politicians and living in a reality thats a far cry from former Premier Silvio Berlusconis description of an affluent country where the restaurants are full. Or in the words of Francesa Zuccari, who runs a soup kitchen in Rome: There is another city out there where people cant get to the end of the month. This is the Italy facing Mario Monti, the economics professor tapped to form an interim technocratic government after Berlusconi was forced to resign last weekend. International markets and the European Community decided the 75-year-old media mogul lacked the political clout to enact needed reforms to head off a debt crisis and get the economy moving. On Tuesday, Monti won support from Italys two largest

parties, but the question remains whether politicians will back his expected painful reform measures at the risk of social peace. On the one hand, Italys elite manufacturers are girding for an increase in luxury exports and some wealthy Italians are looking to move their money into the real-estate markets in New York, Miami and Paris. On the other, the state statistics institute ISTAT says 8 million Italians, almost 14 percent of the population, are living in relative poverty. While tourists may not see the poor as they visit Tuscanys rolling hills, Venices waterways or the Amalfi coasts picturesque villages, they are increasingly visible on Italian city streets. Many Italians have begun taking their money out of banks, fearing reports that measures to help fight the sovereign debt crisis might include deductions from bank accounts, as was done in the 1990s. They are putting it under the mattress, or even inside empty wine jugs in the cellars. We are a country of farmers, said Elio Lannutti, president of consumer protection group Adusbef.

The yield was at 7.04 percent late Tuesday, up 0.46 percentage points from the day before. Spain was at 6.29 percent, up 0.22 percentage points, and France was at 3.66 percent, up 0.23 percentage points. Higher bond yields triggered by slow or no growth create a vicious cycle that is difficult for a country to stop. When the yield goes up on its debt, a country must spend more money paying interest. If the economy isnt growing, then the deficit grows, and countries have to borrow even more. Cut services to close the gap, and the economy can slow even more. The two largest economies in Europe, Germany and France, kept growing from July through September, but not much faster than their neighbors 0.5 percent in Germany and 0.4 percent in France. What happens in those countries matters in the rest of Europe. When the Germany economy booms, Germans are more likely to help, say, the Italian economy by buying Italian cars, indulging in an Italian suit or booking a vacation to an Italian villa. The Netherlands, traditionally a competitive economy, unexpectedly saw its economy shrink in the third quarter. And countries across Europe are at risk of slowing as the debt crisis spreads to other countries and looms over all of them. The uncertainty caused by the sovereign debt crisis is lying like mildew upon the eurozone economy, said Christope Weil, an economist at Commerzbank, referring to the 17 nations in the EU that use the euro as their currency. The European Commission warned recently that unemployment in that 17-nation club, already 10.2 percent, would remain high for the foreseeable future. Unemployment in the United States is 9 percent. The 0.2 percent growth in the EU compares with 0.6 percent growth in the United States in the third quarter compared with the quarter before not exactly sizzling, but at least better. Japan, which is making up for lost economic output after the earthquake and tsunami last March, grew 1.5 percent. U.S. policymakers frequently cite Europes crisis as one of the top threats facing the American economy. Unfortunately, we cant disassociate ourselves from Europe. The things that are happening there do affect us, Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke said earlier this month. I hope very much that the Europeans will find a set of solutions that will allow markets to calm down and take off some of the headwinds from the U.S. economy. Paul Dales, senior U.S. economist at Capital Economics, estimates that a recession in Europe would shave about half a percentage point off U.S. economic growth in 2012, cutting it to 1.5 percent. Others have similar estimates. A survey last week by the Federal Reserve showed that European banks with operations in the United States are tightening lending. Europes troubles also hurt China, where products are assembled and shipped to European countries. American banks have not lent much money to other banks or governments in Europes most troubled countries. That limits the risk if European banks take a hit because they own bonds issued by countries that cant pay them off. Dales said U.S. banks had much greater exposure to Asia during a financial crisis there in the late 1990s than they now do to Europe. And the U.S. economy sailed through the Asia crisis, he said. The U.S. could be hurt, though, by a freeze in global lending, similar to what happened after Lehman Brothers investment bank collapsed in 2008. Banks were too worried to lend to each other, increasing borrowing costs for everyone.

Ex-prosecutor knocks Casey Anthony lawyer, jurors

By MIKE SCHNEIDER Associated Press ORLANDO, Fla. A didnt think a jury would ever agree to the death penalty for the Florida mother, who was ultimately acquitted of killing her 2-year-old daughter. Jeff Ashton writes in Tuesdays Imperfect Justice: Prosecuting Casey Anthony that he would have been happier if the prosecution team had left the death penalty off the table. He also confirmed that toward the end of the trial, Anthonys attorneys tried to persuade the 25-year-old to accept a plea deal but she refused to listen. Personally, I think I would have been happier if the death penalty had not been reintroduced into the case, even though I think on some level I think Casey may have deserved it, Ashton said in the 324-page book. Simply put, I just didnt think the jury would go there. As it turns out, Anthony refusal to accept a deal paid (Continued from page 1) off. Jurors in July acquitted her in the killing of her daughter, Caylee, and she was released from prison, though she is in hiding somewhere in Florida, serving probation for an unrelated check fraud case. Ashtons book is the first account written by one of the key players in the trial that captured the attention of the nation last summer. The 54-year-old career prosecutor retired as planned after the trial, following 30 years of trying cases. The film and television rights for the book have already been bought by Fox Television Studios, studio spokeswoman Leslie Oren said. The project is being developed for the Lifetime cable network. In the book, Ashton takes direct aim at Anthonys defense attorneys, specifically Jose Baez, whom he says he genuinely dislikes. He said Baez was careless with the facts, unmindful of deadlines and encouraged Anthony to be uncooperative with detectives searching for her daughter. There is an unearned air of arrogance about the man that is incredibly frustrating to witness, Ashton writes. The

word I used in describing Jose is smarmy: somebody who is slick, underhanded and doesnt shoot straight. Baez said in a statement that Ashtons characterizations were false. Having read several of the comments Mr. Ashton makes in his new book, I am both surprised and somewhat disappointed he has chosen to attack me on a personal level, Baez said. Without going into specific detail, I will say only that many of his accusations are absolutely false. Ashton also displays an unflattering view of the jurors. He wrote they seemed to give a lot of thought and discussion to which movies they wanted to watch or which restaurants to go to while they were sequestered. Yet no juror asked a single question about the evidence during deliberation. From the moment our jury had been fielded ... wed had concerns over their apparent absence of strong opinions as well as over the amount of effort they seemed willing to expend on this, Ashton writes. In retrospect, I think those concerns were justified.

for business and for contact with his legal team, provided the telephone numbers of the alleged victim and her family were blocked and unable to be dialed. Steele indicated that those motions will probably be approved. Also on Tuesday, Fishbein

signed a waiver of speedy trial. His trial on the 23 telephone harassment charges was originally scheduled to begin Jan. 3, 2012, but that date will be pushed back, likely into April. The trial date will be decided after a pretrial hearing set for Dec. 14. at 1 unit unless otherwise noted.

The Scouts were working on their Citizenship in Community badges, one requirement on the way to attaining Eagle Scout rank. The Scouts learned about meeting procedure and what issues council deals with. The next meeting will begin at 7:30 p.m. Dec. 20 at the Fort Jennings Branch Library.

Tomorrows Horoscope
ThUrSDAy, Nov. 17, 2011 Consider acquiring supplemental earnings from places other than your usual sources in the year ahead. They are likely to come from either a hobby or a new interest of yours. Dont hesitate to try different enterprises. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Because youre in tune with the world, dont be surprised by the clout and influence you may find yourself having today. Press for that which could advance your ambitions. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Some good news that is coming to you from a distant venue is trying to break through. Be sure to check all the sources you use for acquiring information. CAPrICorN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Two separate friends of yours, unaware of each other, are both engaging in something on your behalf today in hopes of being able to acquire what youve been craving. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Anybody who meets you for the first time will be favorably impressed. There is a strong chance you will acquire a new friend who will become a lifelong pal. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- A project youre able to complete today is likely to give you a sense of accomplishment. But more importantly, someone whose attention youve been trying to attract may also notice it. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- It will become quite clear to you today that you are much more popular with your contemporaries than you ever thought. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -Put on your thinking cap and check all the advertisements, because friends will be looking to you to come up with an event in which to participate. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- It might be left to you to avert an altercation between two friends who get into it today. Because you like both equally, youll know how to cool their hot heads. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -The little bits of money youve been squirreling away have finally added up to that whopping sum you need to get something youve been hankering. Go get it. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Being a trifle restless and hard to get along with makes you a perfect candidate to spend some time with active friends who can put you in a happy mood. Dont hesitate to do so today. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -Because conditions in general tend to be far more favorable for you than usual, this is likely to be a perfect day to reap some nominal opportunities from some unexpected sources. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- If youre someone who is presently unattached, this is a perfect day to get out and mingle. Members of the opposite gender will find you far more appealing than usual.

Hanging holiday wreaths

Mayor Mike Gallmeier helped city workers hang holiday wreaths on the light posts lining Main Street downtown Tuesday afternoon.

Answers to Mondays questions: We call the last finger the pinkie because it is derived from the old Dutch word pinkje, which means little finger. When lost in an African jungle, you would smell popcorn in a place a tiger has marked. The smell is uncannily similar to buttered popcorn. Todays questions: Who was the first American author to submit a manuscript typed on a typewriter? What can be noted about a month that begins on Sunday? Answers in Thursdays Herald.

Former US Labor head addresses Occupy crowd

Stacy Taff photo

Todays joke: There was a man driving a pickup truck down a country road, when suddenly he was broad sided by a trailer truck. Some time went by, and the case got to court. The defense attorney said to the plaintiff, How can you be suing my client now when you told a trooper after the accident that you felt fine? The man replied, Well sir, it was like this. We was drivin down the road, mindin our own business when a big trailer truck came out of nowhere and creamed us. When I came to, I was in the ditch, and a trooper was pullin up with his car. He looked at the hogs and they was most dead so he shot em. Then he looked at my dog and he was hurt real bad, so he shot him. Then he came over to me and he said, How you feeling? I said, I never felt better in my life.

BERKELEY, Calif. Anti-Wall Street activists began rebuilding their tent encampment on the steps of the University of California, Berkeley student plaza Tuesday and cheered wildly when former U.S. Labor Secretary Robert Reich implored them to take a moral stand against the very rich owning so much of Americas wealth. The daylong strike and peaceful demonstrations against big banks and education cuts culminated in some 4,000 people rallying at the Reich speech on the steps of the same student plaza that first launched the Berkeley Free Speech Movement in the 1960s. The days of apathy are over folks, Reich, a professor of public policy at UC Berkeley, said to a roaring crowd at Sproul Hall. We are losing the moral foundation stone on which this country and our democracy were built. There are some people out there who say we cannot afford education any longer, we cannot provide social services for the poor ... but how can that be true if we are now richer than we have ever been before? The protests were disrupted earlier in the day by a campus shooting in inside the Haas School of Business. Officials did not know if the suspect was part of the Occupy Cal movement, said Ute Frey, a spokeswoman for the university.
