Van Cleve Sixth Grade stu-dents were fierce competitors onthe robotics battlefield as theyexplored the vast career field ofengineering Friday at EdisonCommunity College as part of itsannual “Kids to College” pro-gram.

“I just like playing with robots— robots are cool,” said DylanDavis, 11, as he watched his team-mates control the robots for con-trol of the blocks for points. “I real-ly am into technical engineeringand I want to work at F & P wheremy Dad works someday.”

Edison Community College pro-fessors Steve Sykes and TomLooker explained each aspect ofmechanical, electrical and manu-facturing engineering and the

careers that are in demand in thefield before letting the studentsuse the robots in a hands-on game.

“We talked about each area ofengineering and how you areeither a creator or how to applyengineering as a career that isstill in demand,” Looker said.“It’s fun — it’s like Disney Worldin here.”

The students took a tour of theengineering labs at Edison, whichalso included tours and break-outsessions in other career fields,such as medical assistant, physi-cal therapy, the Internet andmarketing.

When it comes to replacing alegend, Scot Brewer sees far morepositives than pitfalls.

“I think it’s definitely a chal-lenge replacing someone likeSteve Nolan — but at the sametime, he also left me in a greatposition,” Brewer said. “We’ve gota lot of talent coming back and Iam taking over a great programthat he built. I really don’t seeany negatives — I only see thepositive side of things.”

Friday, Troy High SchoolPrincipal Ron Phillis and Troy

Athletic Director Jeff Sakalannounced they had selectedBrewer to be the next Troy footballcoach. Pending approval by theTroy Board of Education at itsDec. 12 meeting, Brewer willreplace Nolan, who retired lastmonth after 28 years as Troy’scoach. Troy City SchoolsSuperintendent Eric Herman saidhe was pleased with the recom-mendation and would submit it tothe board at the Dec. 12 meeting.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Theunemployment rate, which hasrefused to budge from the 9 per-cent neighborhood for two and ahalf frustrating years, suddenlydropped in November, driven inpart by small businesses thatfinally see reason to hope andhire.

Economists said there was along way to go, but they likedwhat they saw.

The rate fell to 8.6 percent, thelowest since March 2009, twomonths after President BarackObama took office. Unem-ployment passed 9 percent thatspring and had stayed there orhigher for all but two monthssince then.

The country added 120,000jobs in November, the LaborDepartment said Friday. Theeconomy has generated 100,000 ormore jobs five months in a row, thefirst time that has happened since

“I am extremelypleased to recommendCoach Brewer to becomeour next football coach,”Sakal said. “Scot has agreat passion and love forthe game and for coach-ing. He is a highlyrespected member of theTroy community and ourfootball family. CoachBrewer is a terrific coachand will be a great ambas-sador and leader for ourfootball program.”

For Brewer, coaching atTroy is the culmination ofa dream two decades inthe making. Brewer was athree-year starter at run-ning back for the Trojans,rushing for more than1,000 yards as a senior in1993. He served as a vol-

unteer running backscoach for Troy in 1996 andwas the offensive coordina-tor for the Troy freshmanteam in 1997. From 1998-2004, he made two coach-ing stops at Columbushigh schools, while earn-ing degrees in history andpsychology from The OhioState University. He wasthe strength and condi-tioning coach at ThomasWorthington High Schooland the defensive backscoach and defensive coor-dinator at Saint CharlesHigh School.

In 2005, he returned toTroy to coach outside line-backers. In 2007, hebecame the defensivecoordinator. Brewer —who resides in Troy withhis wife, Amanda, andthree daughters, Madison,

Izzy and Payton — teach-es social studies at TroyHigh School.

“This is a dream cometrue for me,” Brewer said.“Going back to 1996 whenI first started helpingSteve, I’ve known this iswhat I wanted to do.Being at other places andseeing how other pro-grams work around thestate gave me some per-spective. I’ve alwaysknown this is it — this isthe place I wanted to be.”

Nolan — who won morethan 200 games, eightleague championships andmade 11 playoff appear-ances as head coach of theTrojans — said he expectsbig things from his formerassistant.

“There’s no doubt in mymind Scot will do an out-

standing job,” Nolan said.“He’s a hard worker whocares about the kids.Those are the two mostimportant things you lookfor in a football coach.”

Brewer plans on hit-ting the ground running— he’s already set a teammeeting for 7 a.m.Tuesday in the highschool auditorium to dis-cuss offseason workoutsand goals and expecta-tions for next season. Healso said he’s alreadystarting to putting togeth-er his coaching staff fornext season. Brewer saidit’s important to startbuilding the Troy programthe way he wants immedi-ately.

“Obviously we’ll take alot of what Steve did anduse it here, because it was

successful,” Brewer said.“But don’t expect it to beexactly the way it was. It’smy program now and I’vegot to put my print on it.I’ve got to be Scot Brewer,because I can’t be anyoneelse. Some people may seethat as difficult — I justsee it as being myself.”

There is one thingBrewer said he doesn’texpect to change in thetransition from Nolan tohimself.

“It will still be thesame philosophy aroundhere that it was underSteve — success doesn’tcome in wins and losses,even though he had 200wins — success comesfrom building kids intogood people. That’s some-thing that will neverchange.”

enjoyed the medical assis-tant lab, where she learnedhow nurses and other med-ical techicians measure labwork each day.

“I want to be a nurseso it was cool to see howthey measure liquids anduse real blood for tests,”Sutherly said.

The program, in itsfifth year at Edison, alsoprovides students with acurriculum that focuses

on financial literacy,careers and the value ofan education beyond highschool. Four initial ses-sions are held at VanCleve in the weeks lead-ing up to the event to helpprepare students for asimulation that requiresthem to make consumerdecisions, pay bills andbalance a checkbook.

Jacob Woodell saidoverall the day was one ofhis favorite field trips hehas been on because of

the interactive sessions.“This was very fun and

I got to play with a robotand learn about science,which is my favorite sub-ject in school,” Woodellsaid, adding that hewants to be either a scien-tist or professional soccerplayer.

In addition to the “RealMoney, Real World” simu-lation, Edison faculty andstaff provided interactivesessions taught in the col-lege’s classrooms.

Van Cleve PrincipalPaul Keller said the pro-gram has been an “eye-opener” for students tobegin thinking aboutwhat direction their aca-demic path will take themin the future.

“It’s a real enlighten-ment for some of them,”Keller said. “It gets thempointed in a direction of acareer and to begin think-ing about what intereststhem and to see that thereis a career path that fits.”

Van Cleve language artsteacher Nathan Silknittersaid the experience is apositive one and leads todiscussion about careerpaths and cost of living.

“They really start tothink about what a budgetis and how their parentsare affected by bills,” hesaid.

The program is a jointventure with the OhioState Extension Officeand is funded by the TroyFoundation.

The real reasonfor the season

To the Editor:With all of this talk about

Black Friday and CyberMonday and Small BusinessSaturday, I can’t help but won-der if everyone has forgetten

about Jesus Everyday?I know at this time of year

it’s easy to forget that JesusChrist truly is the reason forthe season. It’s not about fancynew electronic gadgets and allthe best styles of clothng. It’sabout a baby who was born ina manger.Please, everyone, take a few

minutes every day to thinkabout Jesus and his birthinstead of worrying aboutshopping lines and where thenext big sale is.You will forever be rewarded

if you do.

San Francisco Chronicle on AIDS funding:Thirty years ago federal researchers confirmed what thousands

feared: A new disease was killing gay men in San Francisco and otherbig cities. It was the start of a sad, divisive, and costly battle that isreaching another turning point.The AIDS/HIV epidemic — now felt worldwide — may be curving

downward, with 1.8 million dying last year, compared with 2.2 millionin the mid-2000s. Life-sustaining drugs, new treatments and contin-ued research are producing results to the point where health plan-ners believe a future generation may live free of the condition.But there’s a flip side to the glad tidings. Infection rates are con-

tinuing at a steady pace of 2.7 million per year. The impact of AIDSmedicine — a concoction of drugs that keep the virus in check but noteliminated — is hampered by a delivery system that reaches only aportion of those in need. Outside of health care and drug labs, there’sanother factor: Wealthy nations such as the United States aren’t feel-ing so rich anymore and want to cut back on aid that pays for muchof the effort.At some point, it will be time to declare victory and move on. Other

diseases and social problems need attention, after all. But thatmoment hasn’t come yet. The AIDS trouble zone has grown farbeyond gay men in urban America to nearly every population groupon every continent.The bill remains enormous.The next phase is important to watch. At a time when the AIDS

numbers are turning, will this country and others pull back or stay inthe fight? This war isn’t over.

The Oneonta (N.Y.) Daily Star on presidential GOP con-tenders and foreign policy.

The Republican presidential debate in Washington, D.C., gave vot-ers a chance to hear the candidates field questions on foreign policy— an issue that has flown under the radar this year while unemploy-ment has hovered around 9 percent.But the debate’s rapid-fire format, which never gave all eight can-

didates a chance to answer the same question, allowed few opportuni-ties for the sort of give-and-take exchanges the second-tier candidatesneeded to make up ground on front-runners Mitt Romney and NewtGingrich.Gingrich fared well on some topics, but faces a backlash for scold-

ing his party’s base while responding to a question about whetherillegal immigrants should be deported.Gingrich and Romney both appeared confident, perhaps because

both have articulated clear foreign policy positions while some oftheir opponents have suffered self-inflicted wounds on the same topic.Texas Gov. Rick Perry’s “Oops” moment during the Nov. 9 debate

was bad enough. But at the Sept. 22 debate, Perry had a similarlybizarre response when apparently caught off-guard by a questionabout Pakistan’s nuclear weapons.Herman Cain’s buzz, too, has dissipated somewhat, partly because

of sexual harassment allegations. But Cain also hurt himself with anincoherent response to a simple question about President BarackObama’s Libya policy during a Nov. 14 meeting with the MilwaukeeJournal-Sentinel’s editorial board.Former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman sounded more like a president

when he spoke of the importance of independent White House think-ing.Huntsman’s opponents would do well to brush up on foreign policy,

an issue that has defined many presidencies.Voters may be hesitant to replace Obama, who speaks confidently

and authoritatively on the subject, with a commander-in-chief whomight surprise them.

Once upon a time there wasthis toy.It was recommended for chil-

dren from birth to six months ofage and even came with a littlesuction cup that plastered it totheir high chair, crib or any otherflat surface they inhabited. It wasalmost like a really mini, simpli-fied ferris wheel for a baby. Theycould spin the little wheel in cir-cles, giggling as the little lady bugattachments spun on its own axis,lights flickering and music play-ing.It seemed like the perfect toy

for a small, itty bitty baby. It wasblack, white and really, reallybright reds and greens. It wasintriguing to a tiny mind, butstraightforward enough not to bethreatening. It encouraged thebaby to develop hand-eye coordi-nation, enticing her to spin itswheel and make the lady bugdance.That was the first toy we ever

bought our daughter. We pur-chased it before she was even bornand proudly suctioned it to herplay mat, awaiting the time whenshe would be old enough to under-stand it, but young enough to stillwant to play it.That time never came.No, the toy didn’t break, we did-

n’t lose it and Pearyn didn’t growtired of it.We grew tired of it — before she

was even bored.

Like wrap it up in a towel,wrapped in a sheet, heaved into abox and then shoved into yetanother one and stored in thedeep, deep recesses of our base-ment, tired of it.To this day, my husband and I

are convinced that toy is spawnedfrom evil. It was supposed to singits happy chime when my daugh-ter tipped it, but instead, it howled– day and night – anytime anyoneentered the room, sat down orbreathed. It had to be stopped.We tried submerging it in water,

but even liquid torture was nomatch for that ferris wheel of mis-ery. We finally wrapped it in athousand layers and buried it inhundreds of boxes, only hearing itsmurmur every once in a whilewhen folding laundry.During our move, I found that

toy, or more so, it found me. Iheard a strange humming comingfrom our new garage. Sureenough, it was the ferris wheel of

doom, squealing its mocking littletune. And it made me wonder,what other childhood toys werecreated by sadists?Without a doubt, all those “toy”

lawn mowers and vacuum clean-ers were designed by a deeply dis-turbed person. For starters, whodecided that children need toys tomimic real life chores? Pearyn isgoing to spend the rest of her lifedoing things she doesn’t want todo, I really don’t want to start thatmentality now.And for the love of tofu, did they

really have to put the loudest,most obnoxious balls in the worldinside of it? Is there a reason myhouse needs to shake from thepiercing ball popping noise allthose little devices make? I don’tthink so.And don’t get me started on

Violet and Scout – the Leapfrogtalking dogs. While the concept ispretty neat (a canine companionthat sings songs, talks to yourchild and can even be programmedto say your child’s name, favoritecolor and food), there are somereal shortfalls to this toy.The main one being the creepy

Scout and Violet voiceover; the onethat echoes through the baby mon-itor in the middle of the nightwhen my daughter accidentallyrolls over on it, with an ominous “Ilove you, pumpkin.” (Yes, it’s pro-grammed to say “pumpkin”because apparently no one else in

the world named their child any-thing sounding like Pearyn.And let’s not forget about the

good old-fashioned doll baby. Theone that comes complete with apacifier (one that my currently-being-weaned-from-her-binkydaughter tries to cling to with herlips pursed and jaw clenched),stroller, hat and of course itty bittydiapers. Because clearly, since Ispend all day changing my owndaughter’s diaper, I’d love nothingmore than to change her babydoll’s, too.And last but not least, the plas-

tic golf club set. Honestly, I thinkwe as parents were kind of askingfor it when we purchased this setfor Pearyn (and by “we” I mean myhusband).At 18 months old, a tiny, plastic

golf ball is the very last thing mylittle one wants to bash her clubsagainst, however the couch, fridge,Lego table and mommy’s knee areall fair game.I may not know much when it

comes to developing children’stoys, but this much is for sure:you’ve got to be lacking in souland overflowing in utter andabsolute bitterness. That or you’rejust single.

Amanda Stewart appearsSaturday in the Troy Daily News.She’s telling parents to say “no” toplastic sport sets, they do moreharm than good. Trust her.

HARTFORD, Conn.(AP) — Robert Spiegel’spassion for Russian litera-ture, the New York Mets,ethnic cooking and beaglesendeared him to genera-tions of students and col-leagues at CentralConnecticut State Univer-sity. Now, through thepower of social media, the77-year-old former Englishprofessor’s obituary ischarming strangers, aswell.

Spiegel, a resident of theHartford suburb of Berlinand a native of New YorkCity, died Wednesday aftera struggle with cardiac dis-ease and dementia. He waseulogized in a quirky obitu-

ary written by his son thatappeared Friday in centralConnecticut newspapers.

It quickly startedspreading on strangers’Facebook pages andTwitter feeds, usuallyaccompanied by the read-ers’ admissions they did notknow him but wished theyhad, based on the richlydetailed obituary.

“Whereas the diseasedid thankfully erase mostmemories of the ’62 Metsseason, it eventually alsoclaimed his life,” his obitu-ary read, referring to hisbeloved team’s 40-120record in a year that took10 games just to get theirfirst win.

Friends and family saythe obituary and itsresponse are a fitting codafor the life of a man wholoved spurring conversa-tion, whether it was aboutgood writing, New Yorksports teams or the satis-faction of sipping a high-quality single malt Scotchwhiskey.

“He was a very humbleman, and reaching somelevel of postmortem famewould really please him.I’m sure he would havebeen delighted by it, andsurprised,” said KevinLynch, a fellowEnglish pro-fessor emeritus at CentralConnecticut who workedwith Spiegel for 32 years.

CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) —The conservative leader of theEpiscopal diocese of SouthCarolina, which has rootsstretching to before the AmericanRevolution, is the first bishopfacing discipline from the nation-al church over the ongoingschism over the ordination of gayministers.While some conservative con-

gregations left the nationalEpiscopal church to join a newAnglican denomination over theissue, the South Carolina diocesehas stayed in, while pushingback on theological differencesand what it calls the increasingcentralization of the church.Now Bishop Mark Lawrence

is facing discipline under newnational church rules that tookeffect last summer rules thatgive the national church agreater role in disciplining ofpriests and bishops. Dependingon the outcome, Lawrence couldbe deposed as a spiritual leader

in a church to which he has givenhis life.“Personally, I’m not afraid, I’m

concerned for the diocese,” the61-year-old bishop told TheAssociated Press in his firstinterview since the allegationswere announced this fall. “What’sat stake here is the worldwideAnglican community: the thirdlargest body in Christendom.”Lawrence said the national

Episcopal Church is threateningthe unity of the Anglican com-munion. He said in the diocese“while we are in the vast minori-ty of the Episcopal Church, wehold positions that Anglicanshave held for the past 400 to 500years.”The 2 million-member

Episcopal Church is the U.S.branch of the AnglicanCommunion, which has 77 mil-lion members worldwide.“I don’t believe that the

founders of the Episcopal Churchever envisioned a day when

issues of theology and constitu-tionality would have arisen asthey have arisen right now. I askmyself: ‘What are we here in theDiocese of South Carolina calledto do?’” he asked. “My gut reac-tion was this day would come.”The Episcopal Church conse-

crated its first openly gay bishopin 2003 and, three years later,the Diocese of South Carolinaand two others opposing suchconsecrations voted to reject theauthority of the national church’spresiding bishop, but stoppedshort of a full break with thechurch.Many conservative Episco -

palians believe Scripture forbidssame-sex relationships.Two years ago, four break-

away conservative Episcopal dio-ceses formed the AnglicanChurch in North America, a rivalnational province to theEpiscopal Church. Dozens ofindividual parishes have alsojoined.

The Diocese of South Carolinadid not leave, although it didwithdraw from some councils ofthe national church.Lawrence has repeatedly said

he wants the diocese to remainwithin the Episcopal Church.But he said the challenge is twomain issues: theology and theincreasing centralization of thechurch.He’s being investigated by a

national church committee oninformation from parishioners inSouth Carolina. He has not beentold who filed the complaint, butthinks it’s probably the EpiscopalForum of South Carolina, a groupworking to get the diocese to par-ticipate fully with the nationalchurch.“We did not initiate this,” said

Barbara Mann, president of theforum. Asked if she felt the dio-cese had abandoned the nationalchurch, she said “we don’t makedecisions like that. What we dosupport is the process that’s

going on right now.”“We are working with circum-

stances that are very, very sensi-tive about which people havevery, very strong convictions,”said Bishop Dorsey Henderson,who heads the national churchdisciplinary board.He said such investigations

are rare and that as of now, noformal charges have been made.But if the board certifies

Lawrence has abandoned thechurch, the Episcopal PresidingBishop Katharine Jefferts Schoriwould suspend him from theministry while the matter is con-sidered by the national House ofBishops. If the bishops agree by amajority vote, Lawrence could bedeposed.His diocese in eastern South

Carolina has 70 congregationswith about 29,000 parishioners.Dating from the 1700s, it wasone of the original dioceses thatjoined together to form theEpiscopal Church.

TROY DAILY NEWS • WWW.TROYDAILYNEWS.COM NATION Saturday, December 3, 2011 9

NEW YORK (AP) —Airlines may defy the law ofgravity, but they can’t ignoremath.When American Airlines

sought bankruptcy protec-tion this week, it marked the189th time a U.S. airline hasdone so since the govern-ment deregulated the indus-try in 1978. Most lived to flyagain, as American probablywill. Some were groundedforever.Expensive labor con-

tracts, erratic fuel prices andpassengers used to cheapcross-country fares were toblame this time. Othertimes, costly planes, fears ofterrorism and even out-breaks of disease havepushed airlines to the break-ing point.“It’s just a crapshoot,”

said Bill Diffenderffer, CEOof Skybus Airlines, whichstopped flying on April 5,2008, after less than a yearin business. It was the thirdairline that week to fail.In the past decade, U.S.

airlines have lost a combined$54.5 billion and failed tomake money in seven of 10years.So why is it so hard to

make money running an air-line?• Planes are expensive. A

Boeing 737’s list price isabout $80 million; leasingone costs about $300,000 amonth.• Oil prices are volatile.

Fuel is an airline’s largestexpense. American paid anaverage $2.32 for a gallon offuel last year; it expects topay $3.01 this year.• Pilots, mechanics and

other employees have veryspecialized jobs demandinghigher salaries. Governmentregulations and union con-tracts limit the length ofworkers’ shifts, often creat-ing logistical challenges.• Recessions. When busi-

nesses fold or vacationerslose jobs, the airlines losepassengers.• The uncontrollable.

Snowstorms, volcanic ashclouds, earthquakes, out-breaks of diseases like SARSand terrorism can ground

planes or scare away passen-gers.Besides all of that, air-

lines have to worry aboutwhat their competition does.If one carrier cuts fares,everybody else usuallymatches even if it cuts intoprofits because they knowfliers will go for the airlinethat’s $10 cheaper.Then there’s the brash,

eager, entrepreneur whodecides to siphon away pas-sengers with a hip, new air-line offering deeply-dis-counted tickets.United and Continental

used to fly more than half ofthe passengers out of SanFrancisco — 53 percent in2006. Then Virgin Americajumped into the lucrativetranscontinental business.By 2010, less than 45 per-cent of passengers flewUnited or Continental.Virgin accounted for morethan 6 percent of SanFrancisco’s traffic.United had to lower

prices to compete, and madeless money off those passen-gers it did retain. The com-petition doesn’t even have tobe profitable.VirginAmericahas lost $661.4 million sinceit started flying in August2007.“It’s a business where

competitors enter your mar-ket at 540mph,” Jeff Smisek,CEO of United ContinentalHoldings Inc., said in anOctober interview.For American’s parent,

AMR Corp., the strains weretoo much. By Tuesday, whenit filed for Chapter 11 protec-tion, it had $29.6 billion indebt and only $24.7 billion inassets.The rest of the industry

has managed through theups and downs and isexpected to turn a profit thisyear. That’s because airlinestoday are more willing toraise fares to offset fuel costsand are more cautious whendeciding on whether to entera new market, said PhilipBaggaley, an airline debtanalyst at Standard &Poor’s. And, as passengersknow, the airlines don’t givemuch away any longer.

DETROIT (AP) —Detroit Mayor Dave Bingon Thursday sharply criti-cized an expected 30-daystate review of the city’stroubled finances, which isa first step toward a possi-ble state takeover.Bing told an evening

news conference thatDetroit is making progresson its expected $150 mil-lion budget deficit andcash flow problems on itsown. A spokesman forBing’s office said earlierthat a state review couldbegin as early as Friday.“We are opposed to the

governor beginning thisprocess,” Bing said, withUnited Auto Workersunion President Bob Kingand other labor and politi-cal officials by his side.“We’re opposed to an emer-gency manager and we’remaking progress and mov-ing closer than ever to(solving) this fiscal crisis.”A Michigan law passed

earlier this year expandedthe powers of state-appointed emergencyfinancial managers, givingthem latitude thatincludes the ability to over-see city government andtoss out union contracts insome situations. Michiganalready has emergencymanagers in place in theDetroit public school sys-tem and several othercities.Bing and Gov. Rick

Snyder discussed Detroit’sfinances during telephoneconversations Wednesday,and Bing spokesman DanLijana said Thursday thatthe governor “signaled hisintention that a financial

review could begin as earlyas Friday.” Such a review isthe first step towardappointing an emergencymanager. The entireprocess would take about90 days.“This is our city,” Bing

told the City Hall newsconference. “Detroit needsto be run by Detroiters.Weknow what needs to bedone and we stand ready todo it.”Bing has submitted a

$102 million savings planfor the current fiscal yearto Snyder’s office.“If Lansing believes our

plan isn’t strong enough,I’d like to hear their sug-gestions for what they canimprove,” the mayor said.

“I’d like to see action onsome of the critical initia-tives that we proposed tothe state to help Detroitbecome fiscally stable onceagain.”Bing said the state

could help by supplying$220 million he says thecity was promised in adecade-old tax overhaul“that helped put us in thisposition in the first place.”He said Detroit also hasasked for help collectingthe city’s income tax,whichwould provide up to $155million in additional annu-al revenue.Snyder’s office declined

to comment on Bing’sremarks, other than agree-ing that people in Detroit

should come together towork on the problems.“This absolutely isn’t an

us versus them whetherwithin in the city or out-side of the city,” Snyderspokeswoman Sara Wurfelsaid. “We’re all in thistogether. Because again, astrong and successfulDetroit is key to a strongand successful Michigan.”Wurfel said earlier that

Snyder “still has everyhope of avoiding an emer-gency manager for the cityof Detroit,” but added that“the timing is becomingtougher, and the governordoes have a responsibilityto act if that can’t happen.”Bing says Detroit is fac-

ing a $150 million budgetdeficit, and a $45 millioncash shortfall is projectedby next June.The mayor plans to cut

1,000 jobs early next yearto save about $14 millionthis fiscal year. He has saidthe layoffs will be strategicand the positions will beeliminated by Feb. 25.Some city council mem-

bers have said they thinkmore layoffs are needed,while Bing has been seek-ing deeper pay and bene-fits concessions fromunions.Now, all sides say

they’re listening to oneanother.“We’re going to sit down

and resolve these issues,”Al Garrett, president of theAmerican Federation ofState, County andMunicipal EmployeesCouncil 25 in Michigan,said after the news confer-ence where he stood withBing.

Detroit mayor says movefor state takeover premature

The ideais extreme, even in a city accustomed to fighting forsurvival: should the state of Michigan step in to runDetroit? The governor has taken steps in that direc-tion. But city leaders bristle at the notion.

CAMP VICTORY, Iraq(AP) — Inside palace wallsbuilt by Saddam Hussein,U.S. generals plotted thewar’s course, tracked themounting death toll andswore in new American citi-zens under gaudy glasschandeliers.Just outside the palace,

American troops whackedgolf balls into man-madelakes or fished for carp,while others sat down witha cigar and a can of nonalco-holic beer hoping for arespite from incoming rock-ets or mortar shells.Along another lake some

distance away, a jailedSaddam tended to tomatoesand cucumbers in a small,walled-off enclosure withguards patrolling overhead.Ever since the soldiers of

the 3rd Infantry Divisionfought their way into theBaghdad airport groundsnearly nine years ago, thesprawling area theyrenamed Camp Victory hasheld a special place in theAmerican military experi-ence in Iraq.From here, the highest-

ranking generals sittingbehind banks of telephonesand video screens communi-cated with commanders inthe field and political lead-ers in Washington, and dic-tated strategy that unfoldedon the streets of Fallujah,Mosul and Najaf.It was an intersection in

the war where U.S. troops,hot and dusty after travel-ing across Iraq’s deadlyroads and highways, couldrelax with a latte or boot-legged movie before headingback out again.On Friday, the base that

at its height was home to

46,000 people was handedover to the Iraqi govern-ment as part of Americanefforts to move all U.S.troops out of the country bythe end of the year.“The base is no longer

under U.S. control and isunder the full authority ofthe government of Iraq,”said U.S. militaryspokesman Col. BarryJohnson. He said that by 2p.m. on Friday, there was nolonger any U.S. troop pres-ence at the base.The transfer of the coun-

try’s largest American mili-tary base to Iraqi custodyhappened with little fan-fare, and no ceremony washeld.The area, which the mili-

tary formally calls VictoryBase Complex, was original-ly used as a country club forthe Baghdad elite underSaddam. A visitor can stillfind small relics of that era,such as signs advisingpatrons where to park, orthe hours during which thecasino was open.Saddam built the palace

complex near the airportout of embarrassment.During the 1978 ArabLeague summit he wasforced to house incomingdignitaries in private homesin Baghdad because he hadno proper accommodations,according to Robert O.Kirkland, a former U.S. mil-itary historian who inter-viewed former ForeignMinister Tariq Aziz andother Iraqis who were oncein American custody.To rectify the problem,

Saddam went on a palace-building spree, eventuallybuilding nine structures ofvarying size and impres-

siveness. He gave some ofthem names that reflectedhis often convoluted view ofthe world: Victory overAmerica, Victory over Iranand Victory over Kuwait.In the run-up to the war,

U.S. military planners wereconfused by a cone-shapedstructure they could seefrom satellite imagery, saidCol. Les Melnyk, anotherformer U.S. military histori-an in Iraq. They labeled it apossible prayer site. Itturned out to be a pigeoncoop.Maj. William Sumner

was a captain when his unitarrived at Camp Victory inmid-April 2003. He remem-bers how Iraqi looters man-aged to get into the complexand make off with geese,pelicans and other animalsfrom a small zoo Saddamhad built.“I think that’s when the

cougar got out of the enclo-sure,” he said. For weeksafterward, a large feline,which Sumner said couldhave also been a bobcat, wasspotted wandering aroundthe base.In the early days after

the invasion, soldiers swamin the man-made lakes ortoured the islands with pad-dle boats.But quickly the atmos-

phere became more likebases back in the U.S. Thatmeant rules and regulationsand military police toenforce them. Sumner saidduring his unit’s secondweek at Victory he waspulled over for speeding.“After we moved onto our

other place, we just tried torefuse to go back therewhenever possible,” he said.Victory Base Complex

was essentially a city, oftenhit by rockets or mortar

shells. One time the violencecame from within. In May2009, a U.S. soldier shot andkilled five fellow troops at acombat stress clinic.The facility was so big it

was divided into sectionswith different names.Troops could travel fromCamp Stryker to CampLiberty without leaving thebase. A public bus systemwith posted routes trans-ported people to the diningfacilities, the gym or a dirtspeedway where troops andcontractors would raceremote-controlled cars.By the numbers supplied

by the U.S. military, it was asubstantial operation:The incinerators

destroyed an average of178,000 pounds of waste aday.A water purification

plant produced 1.85 milliongallons of water a day.

A bottled water plantfilled 500,000 one-liter bot-tles a day.Three separate plants

produced 60 megawatts ofpower a day.If soldiers grew tired of

food at the massive chowhalls, they could grab take-out at Taco Bell, Pizza Hut,Cinnabon, Burger King orSubway.At various stores they

could buy anything fromillegal DVDs to a HarleyDavidson motorcycle deliv-ered straight to their doorback in the U.S. when theyreturned from the war. Inthe early days of the war,troops could even buySaddam Hussein’s personalsilverware and place set-tings.Troops and contractors

visiting from other basestook tours of the palaces.One particularly enter-

taining pastime was feedingthe carp in the lake sur-rounding Al Faw palace,where the top generals andU.S. military officials werebased. The aggressive fishwould jump out of the waterfor cereal, Girl Scout cookiesand Pop Tarts.Off-limits to most troops

was the jail used to houseSaddam and some of hiscohorts. In a dilapidated,bomb-damaged buildingencircled by concertina wire,American troops interrogat-ed and guarded the formerdictator before he was hand-ed over to the Iraqis andexecuted in 2006.The Iraqi government

has not yet announcedplans for the complex, primereal estate in a country sore-ly lacking in parks and pub-lic spaces.The Iraqi militaryis already using some parts,and there is talk of turningSaddam’s jail cell into amuseum.

BAGHDAD (AP) — Anexplosion earlier this weekin the Green Zone, a protect-ed area in the center of theIraqi capital,was an assassi-nation attempt against theIraqi prime minister, anIraqi spokesman said.That assailants were

able to get a bomb insidewhat is supposed to be the

most heavily fortified areain the country raises seriousdoubts about the abilities ofIraq’s security forces at acrucial time when Americantroops are leaving the coun-try. Qassim al-Moussawisaid the new informationwas based on confessionsfrom members of a terroristgroup.

Bomb targeted Iraqi PM

Dear Heloise: I have a 92-year-old cedar chest that wasmy mother’s, and my grand-daughter would like to have it.It is a beautiful piece of furni-ture, but the problem is thatthrough the years, the cedararoma has turned rancid.I have tried leaving the chest

open for a couple of weeks infresh air, and I added bakingsoda, leaving the chest bothclosed and open. I also tried afabric refresher. I thoughtmaybe sanding it would restorethe cedar aroma, but I amafraid to try.If possible, I would like to

eliminate any fragrance at all.I was hoping you might have

some ideas; my granddaughterand I welcome your thoughts.— Ann in CaliforniaHi, Ann. Completely elimi-

nating any cedar fragrance?That is a challenge. Normally,cedar would not give off a ran-cid smell unless it hadabsorbed the scent of some-thing stored in it or something

the chest was treated with.This question stumped

Heloise Central, as well as aleading cedar-chest manufac-turer! Removing mildew andmothball smells has beenaddressed, as well as refresh-ing the cedar scent, but neverhow to eliminate the cedarsmell entirely from storagechests. You might try wipingthe insides with my belovedvinegar on a cloth.If cleaning and lightly sand-

ing the inside of the chest donot help, then your last resortis to seal in the odor by usingan oil-based primer on the inte-rior. Then paint the inside withlatex paint.

Contact an auction house orantiques dealer prior to paint-ing the chest to find out aboutany depreciation in value of thechest. Good luck.— HeloisePET PALDear Readers: Catherine C.

of Lansing, Ill., sent in a pic-ture of her adorable black-and-white Chihuahua, Piccolo.Piccolo understands Italian andknows 12 animal toys by name.Catherine says that “Piccolo”means “little” in Italian.Fine, but how do you say

“adorable” in Italian? To seePiccolo and our other Pet Pals,visit www. Heloise.com andclick on the “Pets” link.—Heloise

At 35,she is closer to middle-aged.Unless your wife wishes to enableher daughter to remain irresponsi-ble, the two of you need to setsome ground rules regardingMicki's behavior. A social night outonce a week is fine. A weekendsleeping around is not. Encourageyour wife to put her grandchil-dren's welfare first and see if youcan come to an agreement regard-ing Micki's responsibilities athome.Dear Annie: My family is deal-

ing with a sad and disturbing situ-ation. My mother died a few yearsago, and a mentally ill sibling isstill living with Dad. "Joyce" isfinancially and emotionallyexploiting him and is isolatingDad from the rest of the family.The house is full of garbage and isoverrun with mice and bugs, andyet my father says if it weren't forJoyce, he would be in a nursinghome. (She threatens him withthis every day.)I don't understand how he can

abandon his children to live inthis filth, especially when mymother kept that house spotless.Please tell us what our optionsare.— DesperateDear Desperate: Your father

hasn't abandoned you. He isfrightened and has becomedependent on Joyce. Would you oranother sibling be willing to takeDad in, at least temporarily, untilyou can straighten this out? If youwant to wean him away fromJoyce's care, you will need to bemore directly involved. Call theEldercare Locator (eldercare.gov)at 1-800-677-1116. Explain the sit-uation and see what services areavailable in Dad's area.Dear Annie: I am now a moth-

er-in-law and have a wonderfulrelationship with my children andtheir spouses. I am also a daugh-ter-in-law and can tell "Michigan"that the best way NOT to lose herson is to always include the wifeas part of the family.My husband and I have been

married for many years, and Ihave always felt like an outsiderin his family. When we married,my mother-in-law tried to under-mine our relationship. Accordingto her, everything in our home is"his," nothing is "ours." When shecalls our house, she barely speaksto me. She immediately asks totalk to my husband. She makes itclear that he is her priority andthe children and I are just bag-gage.But the good part is, she has

taught me what not to do as amother-in-law. I never drop in onmy children. I always call first. Ispend the same amount of moneyon my kids as I do on their spous-es for birthdays, Christmas, etc. Inever ask personal questionsabout their marriages or finances.If they are not able to come for afunction, I don't get upset or makethem feel guilty. I try to be sup-portive and loving.It is the small, everyday ges-

tures that will make your chil-dren's spouses feel like part of thefamily and that will help youmaintain a great relationship notonly with your own child, but withall the new children that comealong through marriage.—Loving All My Children inVirginiaAnnie's Mailbox is written by

HOROSCOPE CROSSWORD

DURANGO,Mexico (AP)— The sun-baked northernstates of Mexico are suffer-ing under the worstdrought since the govern-ment began recording rain-fall 70 years ago. Crops ofcorn, beans and oats arewithering in the fields.About 1.7 million cattlehave died of starvation andthirst.Hardest hit are five

states in Mexico’s north, aregion that is being parchedby the same drought thathas dried out the southwestUnited States. The govern-ment is trucking water to1,500 villages scatteredacross the nation’s northernexpanse, and sending foodto poor farmers who havelost all their crops.

Life isn’t likely to getbetter soon. The next rainyseason isn’t due until June,and there’s no guaranteenormal rains will comethen.Most years, Guillermo

Marin harvests 10 tons ofcorn and beans from hisfields in this harsh corner ofMexico. This year, he gotjust a single ton of beans.And most of the 82-year-oldfarmer’s fellow growers inthis part of Durango stateweren’t able to harvest any-thing at all.

“I almost got a ton ofbeans. It’s very little, butyou have to harvest whatev-er you get,” said Marin, whodepends on his crops to sus-tain himself and the sevengrown children who workwith him.The family has five plots

of 20 acres each in the townof San Juan del Rio, an areaat the foot of the SierraMadre Occidental moun-tains dotted with farmingand ranching villageswhose only water comesfrom seasonal rains.

Those have been lackingfor more than a year inmuch of Mexico. Its beenthe country’s worst dryspell since 1941, when thegovernment began record-ing rainfall.“This is the most severe

drought the country hasregistered,” PresidentFelipe Calderon saidThursday at a meeting withgovernors from the hardesthit states of Durango,Zacatecas, Chihuahua,Coahuila and San LuisPotosi.

BERLIN (AP) — Formore than half a century,the legacy of World War IIhas meant that the meremention of a new rise ofGerman power sent shud-ders through Europeannations. Now, Germany isincreasingly calling theshots for the entire conti-nent and few seem to mind.Polish Foreign Minister

Radek Sikorski, whosenation lost millions of peo-ple in the Nazi invasion andoccupation, shocked manythis week when he made adramatic appeal for greaterGerman influence.“You know full well that

nobody else can do it,” hetold a largely German audi-ence in Berlin. “I will proba-bly be the first Polish for-eign minister in history to

say so, but here it is: I fearGerman power less than Iam beginning to fearGerman inactivity.”European leaders are

panicked over unsustain-able debt that could takedown the entire global econ-omy. From the streets to thehalls of power, all eyes aretrained on Germany by farEurope’s biggest economy tolead the continent out of cri-sis.“Germany should take

on a leadership role becauseright now, economically, it isthe one that can,” saidNacho Criado, 31, on hisway to his job laying fiberoptic cable in downtownMadrid.On Friday, German

Chancellor Angela Merkelpushed forward with a

Berlin-engineered actionplan for containingEurope’s crisis, calling fortougher rules to keepnational budgets under con-trol. She set the agenda fornext week’s criticalEuropean Union summit,saying it would grapplewith a strategy to makesure countries follow therules and write thosechanges into EU treaties.At the same time she

talked down any fears ofGerman preeminence inEurope.“Our guidelines for next

week are clear, but it isimportant for me to say thatthey have nothing to dowith fears or concerns thatwe are reading about orhear that Germany wants todominate Europe or some

such,” she said. “That isabsurd.”Increasingly, however,

such fears appear to be get-ting more subdued.Austrian Chancellor

Werner Faymann, whosenation often lives in theshadow of its giant northernneighbor, dismissed out ofhand any worries aboutrenewed German domi-nance.“I’m really happy,” he

said of Merkel’s initiativesfor saving Europe.Some Europeans have

also contemplated with hor-ror what would happen ifGermany got fed up withEurope’s debt shambles andsimply walked away.“What is left of the euro

if Germany says goodbye? Ahouse of cards,” Lennart

Sacredeus, a lawmaker withthe Christian Democrats inSweden’s governing coali-tion, wrote in the newspa-per Svenska Dagbladet.Throughout the crisis,

Merkel has worked closelywith French PresidentNicolas Sarkozy, the otherheavyweight leader amongthe nations that share theeuro. But Sarkozy, slumpingin polls ahead of electionsnext year, has recentlyproven much more willingto bend to the chancellor’sway of thinking.In particular, he has

embraced German ideas ofcountries ceding control of achunk of their budgets to acentral authority, even atthe expense of some nation-al sovereignty.Finance Minister

Francois Baroin this weektalked about a “Franco-German political impulse”to save the euro. He notedGermany’s economic suc-cesses compare favorably toFrance’s debt difficulties,and concluded in a radiointerview: “Germany is amodel that interests us.”France’s political opposi-

tion, meanwhile, hasattacked Sarkozy for lettingMerkel call the shots.“For months, it’s been

Madame Merkel whodecides and Nicolas Sarkozywho follows,” Socialist presi-dential candidate FrancoisHollande said this week.But Europeans seem

increasingly inclined to sup-port Germany’s leadershipor at least to go along withit.

Eaglesto blood stoppage.Troy Christian coach Ty

Morgan didn’t beat aroundthe bush when he spoke ofhow good Toal is.“He’s a beast,” Morgan

said. “He absolutely has ashot at state.”As for Marshall, he

defeated Wellington’sJustin Bockmore by pin toearn third place in the 145class last year. That resultcame after Marshall lost to

Monroeville’s HunterStieber, who was undefeat-ed last year and currentlywrestles for Ohio State.Marshall is also back forhis junior season.“Jordan held his own

against him in thatmatch,” Morgan said. “He’s(Stieber) currentlywrestling as a true-fresh-man at Ohio State, so wewere quite pleased withhow he handled himself.”The rest of the Eagles’

roster features four morewrestlers, all of whomMorgan sees as havingvalid shots at making arun at state.“We’re looking strong

with the group we’ve got,”Morgan said. “We’ve gotsix guys on the team, a fewinjuries have alreadypopped up, with Jordanand Tristen Devlin havingsurgery a day beforeThanksgiving, so he couldbe out for a while.”

Devlin is a freshmanwho will wrestle at 195when he makes his return.Two other highly-talentedfreshmen will also join theroster in Jarred Ganger(106 pounds) and GarrettHancock (113).“We have two other

good freshmen who weexpect big things out of,”Morgan said. “Both arevery talented. Both beenworking extra hard inroom. Both have chances

to win state or at leastplace.”And Morgan, who has

enjoyed plenty of successhimself as a wrestler, cap-turing three state titleswhile attending GrahamHigh School, seems tobelieve this core group canhelp bring another statetitle back to TroyChristian.“I think the core group

of guys can score enoughpoints,” Morgan said.

“There are a couple ofteams that would havebeen contending in D-IIIbut moved to D-II. CVCA,the runner-up in D-III,moved to D-II.“Our goal as team is to

win the team title (atstate). With the core groupof guys, B.J., Jarred andJordan, I think we have avery good chance.”The Eagles open the

well, but I will definite-ly take that aggressivedefensive effort we hadtonight.”Entering the season,

the question lingering washow were the Vikingsgoing to fill the hole in thepost that EvanWolf ’s grad-uation left behind.Garrett Mitchell

answered that questionearly in the game.Mitchell was the benefi-

ciary of two nice passes inthe early going, one fromJosh Snyder and anotherfrom Bradley Coomes,which set up two layups.Mitchell scored six out ofthe first nine East points,helping the Vikings to a 9-0 lead.“He had 15 points, nine

rebounds, four steals andone assist, just missed adouble-double,” Mack said.“He seems to be what weexpected to have in thatfour spot. You know, all ofthat quickness and aggres-siveness we need in thatfour spot. Tonight he reallyfinished well and got hishands on a lot of balls. Hewas very active down inthe post.”The Vikings’ defense

was stingy and effective,forcing the Panthers toburn more than a minuteoff the clock after winningthe opening possession.East switched to a three-fourths court press in theopening minutes of thegame, which resulted infour quick turnovers,allowing them to build a13-5 lead at the end of one.The Panthers were able

to cut it to 13-11 early inthe second on a Josh Diehljumper from the corner.Mitchell countered by scor-ing four straight points,which was followed by a

Coomes steal and finish atthe other end. A GunnerShirk steal and pass upthe floor for a layup pro-vided East with a 21-11lead.And they were just get-

ting warmed up, as theVikings forced back-to-back steals with less thana minute left in the secondquarter, which led to fourMitchell free throw oppor-tunities at the other end.He made two of them tomake it 27-19.The Viking ‘D’ caused a

travel with 5.2 secondsremaining in the second,which gave East a chanceto set up an inbound playand resulted in a Shirk 3at the buzzer — his firstpoints of the game, but hewent on to score nine inthe second half to finishthe game with 12 points.

East’s defense onceagain dominated the sec-ond half, and its offensefound more balance,outscoring the Panthers22-8 in the third to open upa 52-30 advantage.The rout was on. The

Vikings displayed balanceon offense, as Coomes andSnyder each scored 11 —making that four Vikingsin double figures.As far as playing in the

new gym is concerned, itseemed like the Vikingswere right at home, for itwas the same Allen Mackteam, the same result.“I loved it (playing in

the new gym),” Mack said.“The crowd was great. Thestate (champion volleyball)team being recognizedbefore the game was agreat experience. While weweren’t as sharp offensive-

ly at times as i wanted tobe, I thought it was a greatexperience.“We played with all the

energy and passion thatwe played with in the oldgym, and we look forwardto playing that way in herethe rest of the season.”

Seagraves leads smaller East squadBY JOSH BROWN


Feeling something of anumbers crunch this season,the Miami East Vikings willneed to look to someone thatknows what it takes to suc-ceed to lead the way.That’s where Allen

Seagraves comes in.TheViking junior has been

to the state tournament ineach of his first two seasons—and has won while there, too.And with the infusion of freshblood to the team, Seagraveswill be leaned on to provideleadership — and is provingto be up to the task already.“It definitely helps. He has

set the tone in the roomalready this year,”Miami Eastcoach Jason Sroufe said. “He’sputting in the extra work, he’sdoing things that he doesn’tnecessarily have to do — andthe young guys see that, seehis success already, see whathe’s doing and realize thatthat’s what they need to do ifthey want to succeed.“Allen leads by example.”

And since he’s only a jun-ior, Seagraves is still plentyhungry.“At the same time, he’s not

happy with where he’s endedup. He wants to keep better-ing himself,” Sroufe said. “He’sa returning state qualifier fortwo years now, and he’ll begoing for his third trip — andlooking to win some morethere, too.”As a whole, the Vikings

have 13 wrestlers — five ofwhich are freshmen.“We only have 13 guys on

the team, and we’ll only field11 of the 14 weight classes,”Sroufe said. “We’ve got a lot ofyoung talent, though. Some ofthe underclassmen are prettyseasoned. We’ve got someyoung guys sprinkled in withthe old, a goodmix of veteransand newbies. We do havesome first-year wrestlers thatwe’ll be looking to get someexperience.”One of those seasoned

young wrestlers is sophomoreAustin Rush, who will move

up to 126 this year.“We expect good things

from Austin,” Sroufe said. “Hewas a district alternate lastyear at 103—and he hit quitea growth spurt in the offsea-son. He got stronger and big-ger, and we’re looking for bigthings out of him.”Rush already has some

experience with winning, ashe claimed an individual titleat last year’s TroyInvitational.Also back is Ian Melton,

the team’s lone senior, whowill wrestle at 170 this year.“He really turned it on at

the end of last season,” Sroufesaid. “He was one match awayfrom district last year, andthat’s a good accomplishmentfor him.We’re hopeful that wecan send him out right in hissenior year.”A trio of juniors also bring

some experience to the tablein Stephen Morrow, AaronHubbard and DanielO’Malley.“Stephen and Aaron have

both put in a lot of time andwork in the offseason, going toopen tournaments and work-

ing out,” Sroufe said. “Danielis kind of unconventional, buthe’s got the ability. We justneed to get him focused androlling.”Of the five freshmen, there

are some impact players, too.“We’ve got five of them,

and out of those two havewrestled in junior high,”Sroufe said. “Mack Rose hasbeen wrestling for a while,and we expect good things outof him. He’ll be in a toughweight division at 132.”For the Vikings, it’s all

about getting experience,building on the experiencethey already have and forgingahead.“We just want to get as

many guys on to district as wecan, then get as many of thoseas we can to state,” Sroufesaid. “We start with threedual meet tournaments —including the Sidney Dualstoday. As a team, I think wecan win some matches andcompete with some of theseteams. Forfeiting three class-es is never good, but so long asthe other guys are gettingwins and pins, we’ll be good.”

Trojans

cruise to a 63-46 opening-night victory Friday at theTrojan Activities Center.Martinez scored 27

points — 18 in the firsthalf — and May kicked offthe season with a double-double with 15 points and13 rebounds as the Trojans(1-0) turned an 18-13deficit after the first quar-ter into a rout by the third.“I’m still getting back

into shape from footballseason,” May — theTrojans’ quarterback whoshowed some of that foot-ball flair on the pass thatled to Martinez’ dunk —said. “But we’ve got greatpotential, and that wasshowing tonight.”“That first game, it

takes a little bit for thatanxiousness, how excitedyou are, how hyped, hownervous, to go away,” Troycoach Tim Miller said.“You’ve got your adrena-line rushing in all kinds ofdifferent directions. Ittakes a while to take adeep breath, get settled inand let the game come toyou.“Cody was a beast on

the glass, and they justdidn’t have an answer forZach offensively.”Chase Culbertson

scored 10 first-quarterpoints for Tecumseh,including back-to-back 3sand a jumper afterMartinez’ early misseddunk that helped theArrows grab a short-livedearly lead.Because once the

Trojans were able to settledown defensively, theArrows couldn’t fight back.“We just made a con-

scious effort to know wherehe (Culbertson) was on thefloor at all times,” Millersaid. “We started doing abetter job of helping eachother through screens sohe wasn’t as free on hislooks.”That plan worked, as

Culbertson — who finishedwith 18 points — was shutdown until the fourthquarter. Meanwhile, theTrojans began to forceturnovers on the defensiveend and get out in transi-tion.After a 3 gave

Tecumseh a 23-19 lead,May hit back-to-back shotsinside to even the score.Then May blocked a shoton the defensive end andhit Martinez going theother way. The Troy pointguard somehow got anawkward shot to fall at fullspeed while being fouled,and he converted thethree-point play to putTroy up 26-23.Martinez then banked

in a transition jumperafter a Tecumseh miss —and then lit up the arenawith his jam following anArrow free throw. He had a

chance for another dunkafter a stunned Tecumsehteam turned the ball rightback over, but he laid it ininstead to give Troy a 32-24 lead at the half.“It really helped a lot,”

Martinez said of the dunk.“Once one person on theteam gets going, we all justbuild off of each other.”That lead quickly

turned into a 15-point oneafter three quarters asTecumseh continued tostruggle from the fieldthanks to Troy’s defense —and the Trojans turnedthose issues into fastpoints.“We started out slow at

first,” Martinez said. “Weweren’t playing gooddefense in the first half.Wetalked about that at half-time, came out and lockedit up.”“We didn’t do a very

good job early of gettingout, putting pressure onthe ball and getting inpassing lanes,” Miller said.“There was a lot of stand-ing and watching going on.But as we got into it, ourintensity picked up and wewere able to get out intransition. Once we wereable to get the game spedup, predicated by ourdefense, that was the turn-ing point.”Tyler Miller added

eight points and fiverebounds, Zack Rohrscored six and Seth Lucas

added four points andthree assists.Up next for the Trojans

Huskies rally, top OU for MAC titleDETROIT (AP) —

Mathew Sims kicked a 33-yard field goal on the finalplay to cap a furious come-back that gave NorthernIllinois a 23-20 victory overOhio in the Mid-AmericanConference title gameFriday night.The Huskies (10-3)

trailed 20-0 after anabysmal first half before ral-lying behind quarterbackChandler Harnish. It was adelightful turnabout forNorthern Illinois, which lostin the 2010 and 2005 MAC

title games on last-minutetouchdowns by Miami ofOhio and Akron.Northern Illinois won its

first MAC title since 1983.Ohio (9-4) led 20-7 in the

fourth quarter, but Harnishthrew a 32-yard touchdownpass toMartel Moore, then a22-yarder to Nathan Palmerto tie it with 2:52 left.Sims, who missed an

extra point earlier in thefourth, redeemed himselfafter Harnish moved theHuskies into range for thewinning kick.

Harnish went 16 of 26 for250 yards and three touch-downs, helping NorthernIllinois win its eighthstraight game. The Huskiesovercame four turnovers.Ohio’s Tyler Tettleton,

the son of former majorleague catcher MickeyTettleton, went 18 of 31 for218 yards with three inter-ceptions. He also ran for atouchdown, but his finalinterception with 8:49 toplay set the stage for theNorthern Illinois comeback.Harnish needed only four

plays to cut into the lead,and Moore’s touchdowncatch made it 20-13. Simsmissed the extra point, butwhen the Huskies got theball back, they went 57yards in six plays to tie it.A mishap on a shotgun

snap cost Ohio 12 yards, andafter the Bobcats punted,Northern Illinois took overon its own 36 with 1:18 toplay. Perez Ashford leapedbackward to make a terrificcatch for a 27-yard gain, andHarnish found Moore for 15yards to the Ohio 19.
