PIQUA — Since a Juneground-breaking of Forest HillUnion Cemetery’s LabyrinthGarden, progress has been madein the multi-year project. OnThursday morning a crucial pieceof that equation arrived — all10,000 pounds of it.A truck driver from Vermont

made the special delivery of asolid granite columbarium thatwill be among the centerpieces ofthe cremation garden located onthe cemetery grounds.The columbarium was built by

Nickels Monument in Versaillesand a crane from Jcrane fromCovington assisted with lifting it.Workers spent just over an hoursetting in place the large piece,which will hold cremated re-mains for those looking for alter-natives to burial.“It’s made out of solid, 100 per-

cent granite,” said Jim Roth,cemetery superintendent. “Thisthing will last for hundreds ofyears.”The columbarium has 32

niches on each side and plans toadd about five more columbari-ums in the future, Roth said.Once completed, the cremato-

rium will be able to hold the cre-mated remains of 300individuals, he said.

Some candidateshave no opposition

When crews began theproject over the summer,they started by excavatingand leveling the area be-fore turning their atten-tion on the labyrinth,which is the epicenter ofthe garden. It is sur-rounded by a low wall thatwill be abutted against atulip bed.The entire garden is

surrounded by a walkwaywhere the the new colum-barium was placed, and

where future columbari-ums will be situated.“This is something that

we have been looking atdoing out here for so many,many years, so this was areal opportunity for us tostart this project,” Rothsaid. “It’s been a really funday for us.”In the near future me-

morial benches and treeswill also surround the gar-den.“We feel this is a very

special place here,” Rothsaid.

And so do other peoplebecause Roth said peoplehave already expressed in-terest in the columbari-ums sight unseen.“Hopefully, in the next

couple of weeks we mighthave a row or two sold out.”Once urns are placed in

the granite structure, anengraved granite faceplatewill be affixed.For more information

NYC struggles back after Sandy

BY LEANNE ITALIEAssociated Press

NEW YORK — Flightsresumed, but slowly. TheNew York Stock Exchangegot back to business, but ongenerator power. And withthe subways still down,great numbers of peoplewalked across the Brook-lyn Bridge into Manhattanin a reverse of the exodusof 9/11.Two days after Super-

storm Sandy rampagedacross the Northeast,killing at least 63 people,New York struggledWednesday to find its way.Swaths of the city were stillwithout power, and all of itwas torn from its dailyrhythms.At luxury hotels and

drugstores and Starbucksshops that bubbled back tolife, people clusteredaround outlets and electri-cal strips, desperate torecharge their phones. IntheMeatpackingDistrict ofManhattan, a line of peoplefilled pails with water froma fire hydrant. Two chil-dren used jack-o’-lanterntrick-or-treat buckets.Gov.AndrewCuomo said

that parts of the subwaywould begin running againThursday, and that three ofseven tunnels under theEast River had beenpumped free of water, re-moving a major obstacle torestoring full service.“We are going to need

some patience and sometolerance,” he said.On Wednesday, both

were frayed. Bus servicewas free but delayed, andNew Yorkers jammed on,crowding buses so heavilythat they skipped stopsand rolled past hordes ofwaiting passengers.New York City buses

serve 2.3 million people onan average day, and twodays after the storm theywere trying to handlemany of the 5.5 milliondaily subway riders, too.As far west asWisconsin

and south to the Carolinas,more than 6 million homesand businesses were stillwithout power, including

about 650,000 in NewYorkCity, Mayor MichaelBloomberg said.The mayor said 500 pa-

tients were being evacu-ated from BellevueHospital because of stormdamage. The hospital hasrun on generators since thestorm. About 300 patientswere evacuated from an-other Manhattan hospitalMonday after it lost gener-ator power.Bloomberg also canceled

school the rest of the week,and the Brooklyn Nets,who just moved from NewJersey, scratched theirhome opener against theKnicks on Thursday.Still, there were signs

that New York was flicker-ing back to life and wasn’tas isolated as it was a dayearlier.Flights resumed at

Kennedy and Newark air-ports on what authoritiesdescribed as a very limitedschedule.Nothing was tak-ing off or landing at La-Guardia, which sufferedfar worse damage. Amtraksaid trains will start run-ning in and out of NewYork again on Friday.The stock exchange, op-

erating on backup genera-tors, came back to life afterits first two-day weathershutdown since the bliz-

zard of 1888. MayorMichael Bloomberg rangthe opening bell to whoopsfrom traders below.“We jokingly said this

morning we may be theonly building south of mid-town that has water, lightsand food,” said DuncanNiederauer, CEO of thecompany that runs the ex-change, in hard-hit lowerManhattan.Most Broadway shows

returned for Wednesdaymatinees and eveningshows.Across theHudson River

in New Jersey, NationalGuardsmen in trucks de-livered ready-to-eat mealsand other supplies to heav-ily flooded Hoboken andrushed to evacuate peoplefrom the city’s high-risesand brownstones. Themayor’s office put out aplea for people to bringboats to City Hall for use inrescuing victims.Natural gas fires

erupted in BrickTownship,where scores of homeswere wrecked by the storm.And some of the state’s bar-rier islands, which took adirect hit from Sandy onMonday night, remainedall but cut off.President Barack

Obama took a helicoptertour of the ravaged coast

with New Jersey Gov.Chris Christie.“We are here for you,”

Obama said in Brigantine,N.J. “We are not going totolerate red tape. We arenot going to tolerate bu-reaucracy.”In New York, masses of

people walked shoulder-to-shoulder across the Brook-lyn Bridge to get intoManhattan for work, remi-niscent of the escapescenes from the Sept. 11terrorist attack and theblackout of 2003.They entered an island

sharply divided betweenthose who had power andthose who did not.In Manhattan at night,

it was possible to walkdowntown along an avenueand move in an instantfrom a mostly normal NewYork scene delis open, peo-ple milling outside barsinto a pitch-black cityscape,with police flares markingintersections.People who did have

power took to social mediato offer help to neighbors.“I have power and hot

water. If anyone needs ashower or to charge somegadgets or just wants tobask in the beauty of arti-ficial light, hit me up,” RobHart of Staten Islandposted on Facebook.

Ohio court halts ballot counting rulingBY ANN SANNERAssociated Press

COLUMBUS — A fed-eral appeals court onWednesday temporarilyhalted an attempt byvoter advocates to expandthe conditions underwhich provisional ballotsare counted in the swingstate of Ohio.The 6th U.S. Circuit

Court of Appeals inCincinnati put on hold alower court’s ruling that

said the state must countprovisional ballots castnot just in the wrongprecinct but in the wrongpolling location altogether.With less than a week

before Election Day, theappeals court rulingbrought some clarity toone of the remaining dis-putes involving Ohio’selection procedures. OhioSecretary of State JonHusted’s broader appealon the matter remains be-fore the appeals court, but

it isn’t expected to be de-cided before the electionTuesday.Husted saidWednesday

that the court’s move al-lows him to provide Ohio’s88 county elections boardswith guidance for process-ing provisional ballots,which are counted laterand can be challenged. Al-lowing the lower court rul-ing to continue, he said,had the potential to causeproblems and confusion.“Voters could have cast

ballots wherever theywanted to in the county,regardless of their eligibleprecinct,” Husted said in astatement.The ballots at issue are

dubbed “wrong church,wrong pew,” referring toboth a mistaken pollingplace and a mistakenprecinct.A lawyer for a union

that sued over the issuesaid as many as 8,000 vot-ers cast such ballots in2008.

Let’s talk about what this election is about. Theunderlying issue is what we Americans want tobe the role of our government. Four different

views exist on this — not counting the fringes of bothparties. We have the liberals, the conservatives, mostof us in the middle and the Rent Seekers. (I’m nottalking landlords, but more on these people later.)Liberals feel that the role of government is to look

after its citizens’ welfare and protect them— not onlyfrom crime and the state’s enemies but from powerfulinstitutions within the state that can adversely affecttheir lives. They expect their government to enact andenforce laws that are fair and equitable to all and tocreate policies which assure equal opportunities forall.Conservatives feel that this is “big government” or

even socialism. Government’s job is simply to protectits people and then get out of the way of our free mar-ket system so that entrepreneurs can guide us back tothe greatness of the past. They fear that the equal op-portunity proposed by liberals is actually the promiseof equal results which they rightfully equate withcommunism.People on both sides

see this as a seminalelection in determiningthe country’s direction.One side fears fourmore years toward so-cialism and the otherfears eight years tocombine with the Busheight years to give us16 years toward in-creased power of therich.Most of us are somewhere in the middle. In fact

America’s current system is somewhere in the middle.Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, government in-surance and loans to small business, crop insuranceto farmers, the GI Bill — all can be called socialisticprograms. Most of us have used or will use some ofthem and we approve of the good they do. But in ag-gregate we worry how all this can be sustained in thefuture.Rent Seekers, a term used by economists for those

who create their wealth through government manip-ulation, have their own purpose for government. Theyare plutocrats making tens or hundreds of millions ofdollars a year by using state and federal legislaturesto get tax dodges, special-interest laws, investigationssquashed, favorable rulings by courts and governmentcontracts.Let me tell you about one. His name is Tagg, as in

tagalong. He has just formed a hedge fund this year.He has lined up many rich investors in his fund whohave contributed to his dad’s presidential campaignor who have worked with him or invested with him. IfRomney is elected president they all expect to benefitimmensely. If they benefit, Tagg benefits. He will bean instant billionaire from all these mutual invest-ments he and his dad’s friends made.See, there is at least one kind of government role

we can all agree on that stinks.I was a card-carrying moderate Democrat until the

country took the Thatcher/Reagan road to the right.Now I’m a liberal Democrat by just standing still. Myhero since childhood has been President Franklin De-lano Roosevelt. His four freedoms — freedom ofspeech, freedom of religion, freedom from want andfreedom from fear — have been my idea of the rightsof Americans since I could think of such things. Forme, they define the role of government.I was born into poverty. My five brothers and I were

raised on Social Security when our dad died at 46. Ibegan work at 14. The GI Bill gave me my degree. Lib-eral government gave me a chance.Equal opportunity is just that. Everyone won’t end

up equal but everyone should have an equal chance. Idon’t advocate socialism beyond Roosevelt’s four free-doms — at least not any more than America alreadyhas.But we do need the government to protect us from

being poisoned, from being swindled, from being bul-lied, from letting big business destroy the environ-ment, from the Rent Seekers who would diminish ourchildren’s prospects and take control of our govern-ment.

It’s hard to miss the largebillboard mounted on abuilding downtown. It ex-

horts Americans to stand upand take the country back.This confusing sentiment wasa rallying cry of the Tea Partymovement that rose to promi-nence during the healthcaredebate, and into the midtermelection cycle.Both Mitt andAnn Romney

made heavy use of the phrasewhile campaigning, trying toshore up his shaky support from the farright fringe of his party. It’s one of the fa-vorites in the playbook of those whohave worked tirelessly to demonize anddelegitimize the president of our coun-try since he took the oath of office.To suggest that our government has

been “hijacked” by President Obama is aslightly more subtle version of the“birther” conspiracy in which the presi-dent was not born in the United States,therefore not a citizen, and not eligibleto lead our country.That such a ludicrous proposition

could have ever gotten any traction,much less thrived, is at once a testamentto the effectiveness of using reliablemedia outlets to propagate a lie, and asad commentary on how far we haven’tactually progressed regarding race andprejudice. The naysayers vociferouslydeny that ethnicity plays any role inthis, but the simple truth is that nowhite candidate would be subjected tosuch an unrelenting, scurrilous attackon their heritage.There is still a segment of our popula-

tion that will not accept a bi-racial per-son with an exotic name being the leaderof our nation, and are so adamant on thepoint that any wingnut theory that sup-ports that narrative will do just fine.Let’s get back to the billboard.We live

in a democracy, in which our leaders areelected. In 2008, did 53 percent of theelectorate “take” our country from the 48percent that voted differently? By thatmeasure, you’d have to concede that in2000, our country was “taken” by thosewho voted for George Bush, especially inlight of the fact that he garnered fewervotes than Vice President Gore.So who or what are we taking our

country back from, and who are we re-turning it to? The purpose of the boardis to encourage the election of the Rom-ney/Ryan ticket. How can they take backwhat they have never had? Or do theyliterally want to take America “Back”?A review of the Republican primaries,

and the policies and positions put forth,suggests a whole new meaning to theslogan. A reading of the official Republi-can Party Platform bolsters that idea.Back to the days when women knew

that their place was in thekitchen, subservient tothe men in their life. Backwhen minorities knew notto act “uppity”, and gaymen and women knewbetter than to come out ofthe closet, much less askfor civil equality. Back tothe days when the robberbarons called the shots onhow politicians governed.Back to the days whenprotective regulations

were swept aside, regulatory agenciesgutted to the point of being toothless,andWall Street was a latter day versionof the Wild, wild West.Nearly a decade of that free for all,

coupled with top heavy tax cuts, havecreated the largest concentration ofwealth at the top since 1929. Pull outyour history books, and see how thatturned out. Joe the Plumber was rightabout wealth redistribution, but had theflow going in the wrong direction. Notthe sign of a good plumber.I am actually nostalgic for one aspect

of politics past. The two parties have al-ways had huge disagreements, intenseand angry debates, and a certitude thattheir way was the right way. But at theend of the day, they sat down, negotiatedand compromised, for the betterment ofthe country and it’s citizens. Those days,at least for now, are gone. Endless fili-busters and gridlock, blocking of everyappointment, no matter how non-con-troversial, have become the hallmark ofCongress.Much of the blame for this lies with

the Tea Party. They have no interest ingoverning, only paralyzing and mini-mizing it. The Republican Party em-braced them, knowing that despite theobvious risks, it would pave the way forthem to take back the House of Repre-sentatives. I’m sure they calculated thatthey could keep them under control.They were wrong.Aided by radical tax bullies like

Grover Norquist, demanding a pledge tonever raise any tax any time for any rea-son or face the wrath of a bruising pri-mary, formerly sensible. ModerateRepublicans acquiesced to that unrea-sonable position, hurting their con-stituents in the process.The Tea Partiers in Congress need to

be seen for what they are, and replacedby Democrats or Republicans who knowthat working together is the only way tomove forward.

Need to ‘take backcountry’ disputed

To the Editor:I am an independent con-

servative. For over 25 years,I have workedwith the OhioDental Association to repre-sent dentistry’s position onpatient care to our state’ssenators and representa-tives in annual meetingsduring the dental associa-tion’s “Day at the State-house.”For all those years, I have

been impressed with boththe Democrat and Republi-can legislators with whom Ihave spoken.They all wouldsit down with me, pull out apad of paper, and makenotes on dentistry’s con-cerns — and then follow upto smooth our way to im-prove the care we provideour patients.However, over the last

few months, I have beendeeply involved with Repre-sentative (Richard) Adamsin my personal project toprovide a preventive ap-proach to improve the den-tal health ofMiami County’spoor by completely changingour approach from continualrepair (fillings, extractions,etc.) to a preventive ap-proach in order to improvetheir health and reduce thecost while improving theirhealth.I had presented this ap-

proach, as appropriate, tothose legislators since 1992.Their response was concern,one or two meetings, andthen a resigned final meet-ing stating that Medicaid isso large, complex, and rulebound nothing could bedone. Then, I sat down withRepresentative Adams. Helistened, just as all the otherlegislators had.He sat downwith me and 2 senior Care-source people who areknowledgeable about dentalMedicaid, just as all theother legislators had.Then things changed.

Representative Adams keptworking with me. He addedSenator (Bill) Beagle, stateMedicaid officials, a repre-sentative of Gov. John Ka-sich, and two senior stateMedicaid people to ourmeetings. RepresentativeAdams chaired these meet-ings. Over the years, I havesat on many boards andchaired a few; however, only2-3 times have I been privi-leged to watch a master fa-cilitator at work.He had theforesight to see the possibil-ities in my proposal, thepower and influence to getthe right people in the roomto evaluate it, and the com-mon sense to convene themeetings.I wanted the people of

Miami County to know myexperience. RepresentativeAdams has a rare blend ofskills and experience thatmakes him perfectly suitedto be our legislator. I hopeyou will agree with me andreturn him to the OhioHouse to continue to repre-sent us in this extraordi-nary manner.—Charles C Smith, D.D.S.

Father’s grave lies unmarkedafter widow spends his money

DEAR ABBY: My fa-ther passed away a yearago, after being married to“Valerie” for 14 years.After his death, she gothis life insurance. Shepaid for his funeral andthe burial. She alsobought a new house and ahorse within two monthsof losing our father. Fourmonths later, she was dat-ing another man.My sister and I didn’t

ask for anything except afew articles of Dad’s cloth-ing. Having spent all theinsurance money, Valerieis now asking me and mysister to give her moneyfor our father’s headstone.We feel his life insurancemoney should have beenused for this. My questionis, are we wrong for beingangry with her? Isn’t sheat least morally obligatedto purchase his head-stone?

— LOST GRIEVINGDAUGHTER

DEAR DAUGHTER:Your stepmother shouldbe ashamed of herself forfoisting off her moral re-sponsibility to her hus-band of 14 years. And no,you’re not wrong to beangry about it.You and your sister

must now decide if youcan live with the thoughtof your father having anunmarked grave. Ask thepeople who manage thecemetery if they mightallow you to have a specialplanting — a bush, per-haps — to be used as amarker in lieu of a head-stone.

DEAR ABBY: Lastnight I got a debt collec-tion call for my brother,“Stan.” He and his wife,“Susie,” are ready to filefor bankruptcy and havebeen dodging creditors leftand right. This is the firsttime I have heard fromStan’s creditors, but credi-tors have called me aboutother family members, too.My relatives expect me tolie to the callers to protectthem.Abby, I pay my bills and

pride myself on living anhonest and open life. I feelbad for Stan and Susie,but is it right for them toexpect me to deal withtheir creditors when theywon’t?

— FED UP INDELAWARE

DEAR FED UP: Ofcourse not. However, who-ever made that call maynot have been in compli-ance with the Fair DebtCollection Practices Act,

which applies to thosewho collect debts owed tocreditors for personal,family and householddebts. (These can includecar loans, mortgages andmoney owed for medicalbills.)According to the Fair

Debt Collection PracticesAct, a debt collector maynot contact the debtor’sfriends, relatives, em-ployer or others, except tofind out where the personwho owes the money livesor works. If the calls con-tinue, contact the FederalTrade Commission by call-ing (toll-free) 1-877-382-4357 or visit its website,www.ftc.gov.

DEAR ABBY: Over theyears I have becomefriends with a client ofmine, “Doug.” I live inWis-consin; he lives in Florida.We are both happily mar-ried and share about fam-ily and work. We useinstant messaging forwork-related issues and tochitchat.We have typed “Ilove you” to each other attimes — but only if we’rebeing sarcastic, jokingaround or saying thanksfor some help.My husband doesn’t

think you can say “I loveyou” to a friend withouthaving feelings or wantingmore. I have never re-garded Doug as anythingbut a friend, and he feelsthe same. Can I say “I loveyou” to a friend without itmeaning something more?

— SPREADING THELOVE

DEAR SPREADING:In my opinion you can,and many people do.There is a difference be-tween saying “I love you”and “I am IN love withyou,” and I’m surprisedthat your husband doesn’trealize it. Could he be feel-ing insecure?

Declarer often encoun-ters a situation where it ismore dangerous to haveone defender on lead thanthe other and must do allhe can to prevent this fromhappening. Here is an un-

usual case where South ap-plied the principle twice inthe same hand.West led the jack of clubs,

and declarer counted hispotential losers. He realizedthat he might lose a trumptrick (if he misguessed thetrump situation), a clubtrick and two spade tricks.The only way he could losetwo spade tricks, though,was if East gained the leadand returned a spadethrough the king, and Westhad the ace. Otherwise,South could eventually dis-card two spades ondummy’s diamonds.South therefore em-

barked on a line of play thatwas designed to keep Eastoff lead. His first step wasnot to play the queen ofclubs from dummy at trickone. This eliminated allchance of East ever obtain-ing the lead with a club.After the jack held, West

led another club to South’sace, and declarer now pur-sued his overall plan byleading a trump to the kingand finessing the ten on theway back.When the finesse suc-

ceeded, South drew the lasttrump and claimed 11tricks. But note that hewould have been on equally

firm ground had the trumpfinesse lost to the doubletonqueen in West’s hand. Inthat case, he would havefinished with only 10 tricks,but he still would havemade the contract. In tackling the trumps as

he did, declarer was not somuch interested in guess-ing the location of thequeen as he was in makingsure that if he lost a trumptrick, it would be to West,not East. With West onlead, the contract was se-cure.

Disney to make new ‘StarWars’ films, buy Lucas Co.

BY RYAN NAKASHIMAAP Business Writer

LOS ANGELES — A decadeafter George Lucas said “StarWars” was finished on the bigscreen, a new trilogy is destined fortheaters as The Walt Disney Co.announced Tuesday that it wasbuying Lucasfilm Ltd. for $4.05 bil-lion.The seventh movie, with a work-

ing title of “Episode 7,” is set for re-lease in 2015. Episodes 8 and 9 willfollow. The new trilogy will carrythe story of Luke Skywalker, HanSolo and Princess Leia beyond “Re-turn of the Jedi,” the third film re-leased and the sixth in the saga.After that, Disney plans a new“Star Wars” movie every two orthree years. Lucas will serve as cre-ative consultant in the new movies.“For the past 35 years, one of my

greatest pleasures has been to seeStar Wars passed from one genera-tion to the next,” said Lucas, chair-man and CEO of Lucasfilm Ltd.“It’s now time for me to pass StarWars on to a new generation offilmmakers. I’ve always believedthat Star Wars could live beyondme, and I thought it was importantto set up the transition during mylifetime.”Disney CEO Bob Iger said Lu-

cusfilm had already developed anextensive story line on the nexttrilogy, and Episode 7 was now inearly-stage development.The Walt Disney Co. announced

the blockbuster agreement to buyLucasfilm in cash and stock Tues-day. The deal includes Lucasfilm’sprized high-tech production com-panies, Industrial Light & Magicand Skywalker Sound, as well asrights to the “Indiana Jones” fran-chise.Lucas was hailed as a cinematic

visionary when the original “StarWars” came out in 1977. But he hadbecome an object of often-viciousridicule by the time he released 3-Dversions of all six films in the StarWars franchise earlier this year.Die-hard Star War fans had been

vilifying Lucas for years, convincedthat he had become a commercialsell-out and had compounded hissins by desecrating the heroic talethat he originally sought to tell.They railed against him for addinggrating characters such as Jar JarBinks in the second trilogy and at-tacked him for tinkering with theoriginal trilogy, too. Any revision —from little things like making the

Ewoks blink or bigger alterationslike making a green-skinned aliennamed Greedo take the first shot atHan Solo in a famous bar scene —were treated as blasphemy.The criticism grated on Lucas,

who vowed never to make anotherStar Wars movie during an inter-view with The New York Times ear-lier this year.“Why would I make any more

when everybody yells at you all thetime and says what a terrible per-son you are?” Lucas told the Times.“Indiana Jones and the Kingdom

of the Crystal Skull,” the fourthfilm in another lucrative franchise,subjected Lucas to even more barbswhen it came to the big screen in2008. Fans of those films were es-pecially outraged about an openingscene that featured Indiana Jonescrawling into a lead-lined refriger-ator to survive a nuclear bombblasting.Lucas, 68, was fed up by the time

he released “Red Tails,” a movie de-picting the valor of African-Ameri-can pilots during World War II,earlier this year. He told the Timeshe was ready to retire from thebusiness of making blockbustersand return to his roots as a studentat USC’s film school, where he oncemade a movie about clouds movingin a desert.Kathleen Kennedy, the current

co-chairman of Lucasfilm, will be-come the division’s president andreport to Walt Disney StudiosChairman Alan Horn. She willserve as executive producer for the

new movies.In a video posted onYouTube, Lucas said thedecision to continue withthe saga wasn’t incon-sistent with past state-ments.“I always said I was-

n’t going to do any moreand that’s true, becauseI’m not going to do anymore, but that doesn’t

mean I’m unwilling to turnit over to Kathy to do more,”

Lucas said.He said he has given Kennedy

his story lines and other ideas, “andI have complete confidence thatshe’s going to take them and makegreat movies.”Kennedy added that she and

Lucas had discussed ideas with acouple of writers about the futuremovies and said Lucas would con-tinue to have a key advisory role.“My Yoda has to be there,” she said.In a statement, Iger said the ac-

quisition is a great fit and will helppreserve and grow the “Star Wars”franchise.“The last ‘Star Wars’ movie re-

lease was 2005’s ‘Revenge of theSith’ — and we believe there’s sub-stantial pent-up demand,” Igersaid.The deal brings Lucasfilm under

the Disney banner with otherbrands including Pixar, Marvel,ESPN and ABC, all companies thatDisney has acquired over the years.A former weatherman who rosethrough the ranks of ABC, Iger hasorchestrated some of the company’sbiggest acquisitions, including the$7.4 billion purchase of animatedmovie studio Pixar in 2006 and the$4.2 billion acquisition of comicbook giant Marvel in 2009.Disney shares were not trading

with stock markets closed due tothe impact of Superstorm Sandy inNew York.

MECCA, Saudi Arabia(AP) — Now that she hasfinished the hajj and is re-turning home to Egypt,Magda Bagnied says herfamily will no doubt try toconvince her to put on theheadscarf to demonstrateher religiosity after a pil-grimage meant to cleanseher of sin and bring hercloser to God.

She fully expects thatfrom her parents. But shedoesn’t want that kind ofpressure from her govern-ment or leaders.

“Leave religion to thepeo-ple,” said Bagnied, a mediaprofessor at Ahram Cana-dian University, in Cairo’ssuburbs.

The annual pilgrimage toIslam’s holiest sites offersMuslims a chance to reaf-firm their faith and rootthemselves more firmly intheir beliefs. It comes at atime when several Arab na-tions are facing a similarissue onapolitical level afteruprisings that toppled long-time leaders andbrought Is-lamists to greater power:The question of howmuch agovernment should berooted in Islam.

Egypt in particular isstruggling with that ques-tion. Elections since the falllast year of Hosni MubarakelevatedMohammedMorsi,who hails from the MuslimBrotherhood, to president.The Brotherhood wasvaulted to become the coun-try’s strongest political force,along with even more con-servative Islamists knownasSalafis,who followa strict

Saudi-style interpretation ofIslam.

As pilgrims were makingtheirwayaround theKaaba,the cube-shaped structure inMecca that observant Mus-lims pray toward five timesa day, and performing anelaborate set of rituals inSaudi Arabia over the pastweek, Egypt was in a bitterstruggle over the writing ofthe new constitution.

Salafis are pressing forthe document to explicitlyroot Egypt’s laws inShariah.Thathas raised lib-erals’ fears that it will bringstricter implementation ofIslamic law and empowerMuslim clerics in a politicalrole, limitingwomen’s rightsand freedoms of worshipand expression. The assem-bly writing the constitutionis dominated by the Broth-erhood and Salafis.

The Egyptians who per-formed the pilgrimage thisyear may be united in theimportance they give totheir faith in their lives.Butit doesn’t mean they allagree on the mix of religionand politics. More than90,000 Egyptians were onthe pilgrimage, whichlargelywrappedup onMon-day. They hailed from allsegments of Egyptian soci-ety, the rich and the poor,and from all corners of theArab world’s most populousnation.

Wearing the seamless ter-rycloth garments worn bymale pilgrims to symbolizeequality and unity duringhajj, Sayid Zeid said Egypt’sconstitution should repre-sent allEgyptians—and,headded, it must be based on

the Quran.How can it be both, given

the largeChristianminorityand the sector of liberalMuslims?

“Shariah will be appliedby God ... It should be ap-plied as it came down fromGod,” said Zeid, who is a re-porterwithEgypt’s stateTV,though he was performingthe hajj, not covering it.

For some, it seemed onlynatural that Islamic lawwould benefit aMuslim-ma-jority nation, putting asidequestions of who would in-terpret it or implement it.

Making his way to mid-day prayers at Mecca’sGrand Mosque, whichhouses the Kaaba, Abdel-Muntalib el-Fikky saidthere is no reason to fearShariah or the Islamists.

“Why are we all here?Weare all here forGod,”he saidof the pilgrims. “Our consti-tution, God willing, will begood. It will move us for-ward.”

Anwar Saad, a 32 year-old teacher fromEgypt’sBe-heira province, stood onJabal al-Rahma in MountArafat, in the desert outsideMecca during a rite ofprayer on Thursday thatmany feel is the pinnaclemoment of hajj.

“The Brotherhood havemoderate views. They arenot conservative like theSalafis. We hope they willapply a moderate form ofShariah for Egypt,” he said.“Wewant God to helpMorsisucceed ... There were 30years of corruption and thiswill not be fixed in 100 days.Be patient with the presi-dent.”

BY EMILY HOERSTENToday, Nov. 1, the Catholic Church celebrates All

Saints’ Day to honor both known and unknown saints.Saints we know by name are people throughout his-tory who have been recognized (“canonized”) by theChurch as role models for us, but everyone who livesa good life and gets to Heaven is a saint. November 1is mainly for saints who do not have their own feastdays.One popular saint is St. Cecilia. She was martyred

for spreading her faith. St. Cecilia was sentenced tosuffocation but miracu-lously survived. Shewas then sent to be be-headed. The execu-tioner tried to kill her butcould not cut throughher neck. She lived forthree days before dying.Because she studied

and performed music,St. Cecilia is the patronsaint of music. Appropri-ately, there is a statue ofSt. Ceciia in the Instru-mental Music room atLehman. Band studentsoften invoke the name ofSt. Cecilia when saying a group prayer, asking St. Ce-cilia to pray for them and help them do well in theirperformance.There are so many saints it is hard to pick a favorite.Lehman religion teacher Joe Schmiesing said, “My fa-vorite saint is St. Thomas More because he was asmart guy and a martyr.” St. Thomas More is the pa-tron saint of lawyers. His feast day is on June 22.Junior Patrick Blenman didn’t hesitate when he said,“My favorite saint is St. John Bosco. I like how hehelped children, especially those who were aban-doned, in jail, or forgotten. He taught them about thefaith and taught them skills to get a job.” St. JohnBosco’s feast day is Jan. 31.All Saints’ Day gives us a great opportunity to learn

about saints we do not know. We should spend a lit-tle more time than usual in prayer to a saint today.The day after All Saints, Nov. 2, is All Souls’ Day.

This is when we pray for loved ones and others whohave passed away, hoping that they have reachedHeaven and become saints.For more about saints, visit www.catholic.org/saints

Statue of St. Cecilia

More than MentoringBY MADILYN BROWNFor the past 12 years, the non-profit organization Big Brothers Big Sisters has given high school students

the opportunity to make a big impact on the lives of many children. This is through the after-school programknown as “Big Buddies.”Big Buddies occurs at three different school sites in Sidney: Whittier, Longfellow, and Northwood. High

school students from all over Shelby County participate in this program, including students from Lehman.“We are very pleased to have so many high school students step up and volunteer their time,” said BBBSExecutive Director Lisa Brown. “The children that we serve really look up to these students and it is a won-derful program to get high schoolers involved in mentoring others.”In Big Buddies, these teenagers travel to the different school sites where their “littles” wait to be matched

with them. These littles come from many different backgrounds and usually don’t have the best home lives.It is the high school students’ job to make them feel important during this one and a half hour time-frame thatthey spend with them.Success in academics is one of the key components of the program. It is not until after all their homework

is complete that the littles can engage in the more fun activities with their bigs. These activities emphasizecharacter building and social skills, while offering these high school students the opportunity to have an im-pact on the community.As a participant in Big Buddies myself I have learned many things, including responsibility. It has also made

me realize how grateful I am for all my blessings.If you enjoy being around kids, or even just want some community service hours, Big Buddies is the per-

fect extracurricular for you.

Limelight Tour is a ‘Thriller’BY JULIA HARRELSONThe Lehman Catholic Music Department is kicking off its 35thannual Limelight tour this week. The Cavalier Choir, LimelightersShow Choir, and Combo are spending part of their week travelingto area partner schools where they are performing many songs.Besides singing and dancing, the members get the elementaryschool students to dance on stage with them, and at the end, theCavalier Choir says the “Lehman Pitch” while members of theLimelighters sing the fight song quitely in the background. Thistour is always a huge hit among the future Cavaliers and thestudents who perform love it as well.Because of the timing of this year’s tour, the theme for the show is “Halloween.” Both choirs are combining

to sing Michael Jackson’s hit “Thriller” and “Witch Doctor” from the movie “Alvin and The Chipmunks.” In ad-dition, the Limelighters are singing some songs from their contest show including “Eyes Open” by Taylor Swiftand “Night to Remember” from the movie “High School Musical 3.”Olivia Sehlhorst, a second year Limelighter member, loves the show. “I like the songs a lot this year. They

are fun to sing and dance, especially the Halloween songs. I love to perform with the other choir because itis fun to dance in a big group. I think all of our practices and hard work have paid off for these performances.”Olivia Gorman, a freshman in Cavalier Choir, is also enjoying the tour. “I think the songs are fun and catchy,

so I think the kids are enjoying them,” she said. “Performing together with the show choir is helpful becausethey know the songs really well. They are a great group of individuals who really know what they are doingso it has been a blast for me.”The tour began with a dress rehearsal open to the public at 4:30 p.m.Monday, Oct. 29, in the Lehman Bandroom. Wednesday, the group traveled to Holy Rosary in St. Marys, Immaculate Conception in Celina, andHoly Angels in Sidney. Friday, they will pick up where they left off, going first to St. Patrick in Troy, then St.Maryin Greenville, and finally closing out the tour at Piqua Catholic School. Come out and watch the annual tourshow as it comes to a close.

PIQUA — OnWednesday, Oct.24, Piqua High School studentshad the opportunity to watch themovie about veterans overcom-ing their disabilities called HighGround. High Ground is a moviethat documents the veteranswho suffer PTSD as well as otherphysical limitations. These vet-erans meet their personal goalsto overcome what injuries warhas left them. They climb to the

summit of Lobuche, one of theHimalayan peaks. On their jour-ney they face many physical andmental obstacles.The students who attended

the film raised roughly $1,300 inmovie ticket sales to go to Sol-diers to Summits, a non-profitorganization which helps veter-ans overcome their disabilities.After watching the film, Sen-

ior Eric Craft said, “I felt in-spired by the way the soldiersovercame their disabilities toclimb the mountain.”

“I enjoyed the film thoroughly,I’ve been a military child my en-tire life, and feel a deep connec-tion for those who have beenwilling to sacrifice themselvesfor our country,” said MakylieKillian. “Watching those menovercome personal obstaclesgives an example for all thatanything can be accomplished,and nothing can get in the wayof where you are now, and thegoal. They’ve shown me that thejourney there is worth the ef-fort.”

PIQUA — At the Piqua vs. Troy footballgame, Paul Sherry’s Chrysler Dodge JeepRam donated a 2013 Chrysler to be given tothe person (chosen from a drawing) who couldgo to one end of the football field and pass afootball from under the goalpost of one endzone, punt the football from where their passlanded, and then kick a field goal.The donated Chrysler was a promotion by

the Chrysler Company with the local dealer-ship, Paul Sherry’s. All proceeds from sellingthe tickets will go to the Soldiers to SummitsandWoundedWarriors Project charities, eachchosen to be significant for both Piqua andTroy, as well as a chance to get involved infundraising along with the Piqua studentswho have been fundraising for Soldiers toSummits. There were no set goals for thedrawing other than the hopes of selling asmany tickets as possible and hoping that thefans would love the chance of donating to

charity.All that were involved were excited to see if

the raffle winner could complete the punt,pass, and kick and donate the funds from theraffle to the chosen charities.Darrell Hite, high school assistant princi-

pal, won the chance to try for the vehicle. Hemade a valiant effort at a punt, a pass, and akick, but came up short with his field goal at-tempt. The inclement weather last Fridaykept many people from the game: the promo-tion did not raise as muchmoney as expected.

PIQUA —- Toni Riley, a nativefrom Jackson,Miss.,whomoved toGahanna, Ohio, when she wasyoung, is hoping to improve thelives of the freshmen at PiquaHigh School.The graduate fromWright State

University went to college wantingto be a teacher, but changed hermind to guidance counselor.“I believed that being a guid-

ance counselor would be so much

more affective,” Riley said. “Thereare so many kids that think theyhave no future and have no cluewhat to do with life, but there is apurpose and I wanted to helpthem find it.”Riley, who previously worked at

Studebaker Middle School inHuber Heights, was very activewhile in school. She was involvedin soccer, yearbook, stomp team,and student council throughouthigh school. She also was a debu-tante. However, now she enjoysgoing to movies very frequently,

playing with her dog, spendingtime with her husband and family,and being a wedding planner.The rest of the year may con-

tain some surprises for Riley butshe is “looking forward to gettingto know the students better, par-ticipating in community activities,and traveling.”Already done with the first

quarter of school, Riley said, “Ithas been absolutely amazing. Thestudents are so fun, and theymake me feel so alive. I know I’mworking in the right place.” RILEY

VANDALIA — TheLehman volleyball teamhas had some amazingcomebacks for wins at theD-IV regional volleyballtournament.But, the Fort Loramie

volleyball team wasn’tabout to let that happenThursday night at theVandalia SAC, finishingoff a convincing 25-17, 25-22, 25-14 win over theLady Cavaliers.The Lady Redskins will

play Marion Local for theregional title at 2 p.m.Saturday.“That’s one of the things

we talked about at thestart of the third game,”Fort Loramie coach JohnRodgers said. “ThatLehman is not a team thatis ever going to go away.You have to finish them.The girls did a great jobnight. I thought our out-side hitters (Kelly Turner,Darian Rose) were out-standing.”For Lehman, it was a

disappointing end to an-other outstanding season.The Lady Cavaliers, play-ing in the regional for the20th straight year, fin-ished 21-6. It was the finalmatch for four-yearstarters Andrea Thobeand Ellie Waldsmith.“I thought we had a lot

of positives this season,”Lehman coach Greg

Snipes said. “We justmade some mistakestonight that are very un-typical and Fort Loramieplayed a great match. An-drea (Thobe) and Ellie(Waldsmith) both leavewith a state title. Hope-fully, the other girls canlearn from them and seehow the hard work paysoff.”In the opening set, Lo-

ramie was leading 7-5when Loramie had a five-point run with Julie Hoy-ing at the service line.Rose had two kills in therun and suddenly theLady Redskins were up12-5.“Normally, we don’t give

up any runs,” Lehmancoach Greg Snipes said.“And tonight, it seemedlike Fort Loramie was able

to put together a numberof big runs.”Lehman could never get

closer than three with,Rose and Turner leadingthe hitters, the Redskinspulled away for a 25-17win.“One of the things we

talked about was playingour game — not worryingabout what Lehman wasdoing,” Rodgers said. “We

weren’t so concernedabout who was hitting theball for us, we just wantedto make sure we playedour game.”In the the second game,

the two teams battledevenly throughout.Kills by Olivia Slagle

and Erica Paulus (on AvaSchmitz’ serve) pulledLehman within 23-22.But a serve sailed long

and Lehman was unableto return Loramie’s serveat game point.“We had a lot of errors

tonight,” Snipes said.“Those are mistakes wejust don’t typically make.”Still, Rodgers expected

a fight in the third game.“This is definitely a ri-

valry,” he said. “We haveplayed a number of timesin the regional. All thegirls know each other.They play JO together.”Another service run by

Hoying, finished with anace, gave Loramie an 11-5lead and Lehman couldnever get closer than four.“We played alright the

first couple points, thenthey had some big runs,”Snipes said. “You can’t ex-pect to come back fromway down against a teamlike Fort Loramie.”Rose pounded 14 kills

and Turner addeed 12 tolead the Redskin hitters.“You know, Kelly

(Turner) didn’t even geton our all-conferenceteam,” Rodgers said. “Iguess that’s what happenswhen you beat people —they don’t vote for you. I

Mom’s Club Says Thanks For Senior Dinner

BY JIM NAVEAULima News

COLUMBUS – EvanSpencer has been aroundOhio State football longerthan his teammates, al-most as long as he hasbeen alive.His dad, Tim, was a star

running back for theBuckeyes in the early1980s, then was an OSUassistant coach from 1994-2003. His parents met atOhioState. His first appear-

ance in an OSU footballmedia guide was as a 1-year-old, sitting on hismom’s lap in a familyphoto.Spencer, a sophomore

wide receiver, matched hispersonal season-highwiththree catches in OhioState’s 35-23 win over

Penn State last Saturdayand had two catchesagainst Purdue.Before that, he had not

had a catch in four gamesafter pulling in five in thefirst three games.“I’ve been around the

Buckeyes my whole life.Probably my best memoryis the national champi-onship, being able to beout on the field with mydad, my mom, mybrother,” Spencer said. “Tothis day, I still get chillsthinking about it.”Tim Spencer, who

played five years in theNFL, has been a ChicagoBears assistant coachsince 2004.“I try to talk to him

every day, especially aftergames,” Evan Spencersaid. “After he gives mehis criticism on my games,

I’ll watch the Bears gamesand give him criticism onwhat they did wrong. Soit’s a two-way street.“It means so much, it

helps me so much on aday-to-day basis, when-ever I’m going throughsomething, calling himand having him be therefor me and help methrough stuff. And mymom, as well,” he said.Last season as a fresh-

man, Spencer caughtthree passes for 78yards,including a 33-yardtouchdown catch againstMichigan State.This season, he has 10

catches for 118 yards andhas made OSU’s coaches-more confident in him asthe season has gone on.“He’s gotten better

every week but he wasnever a guy I didn’t count

on,” Ohio State receiverscoach Zach Smith said.“He has improved hisvalue in the program andour confidence in how wefeel about him. Now he’s aguy where I say, ‘I know hewill make the play, I knowhe will run a great route,that he will get open andcatch the football.’“As opposed to a guy

who would clap his handsand say, ‘Oh shoot, mybad,’ now he is a guy whois really hard on himselfin practice and is criticalofhimself,” he added. “Now he is performing

at a different level. “He is running better

routes, he’s blocking bet-ter.” Spencer said there is no

complicated explanation

State Prep Poll

BY JEFF SCHUDELWilloughby Herald

Brandon Weeden hadhis worst day as a pro lastSunday since his horrificdebut against the Eagles,when he threw four inter-ceptions and posted a 5.1passer rating in a gamethe Browns lost, 17-16.The difference between

what happened almosttwo months ago and nowas the Browns dig deeperinto their preparation forthe Ravens is instead oflosing by a point, theBrowns beat San Diego bya point, 7-6.Weeden completed 11 of

29 passes for 129 yardsand no touchdownsagainst the Chargers. Hewas sacked twice and reg-istered a passer rating of55.9 – his lowest ratingsince the opener. Weedenis smiling nonetheless."Obviously the numbers

weren't pretty, but I could1 million percent careless," Weeden said "Wewere able to run on a verygood run defense and Iwas happy to see Trent(Richardson) come backand have the game hehad. “I told him, he probably

got sick of me telling him,but I told him four or fivetimes that I'm happy forhim, ‘I'm proud of you, youplayed your tail off.' "Whether the Browns

can honestly say they nowhave a balanced offenseremains to be seen. De-spite using 33 runs com-pared to 27 passes againstthe Chargers, they arestill a pass-first offense.Weeden has thrown 299passes. Only Tom Brady ofthe Patriots (320) andDrew Brees of the Saints(315) have thrown more.The pass offense has

evolved to a point wherereceivers Greg Little androokie Josh Gordon havedeveloped a friendly com-petition. Mohamed Mas-saquoi isn't part of it yetbecause he missed the lastfive games with a ham-

string injury.Little has 22 catches for

249 yards and two touch-downs. Gordon has fivefewer catches, but for 379yards and four touch-downs. His 22.3-yards percatch average leads theNFL among receiverswith a minimum of 15catches.Massaquoi is closer to

playing – although hemight sit out Sunday andreturn to play against theCowboys on Nov. 18 afterthe bye next week – andJosh Cooper has sixcatches since being acti-vated for the gameagainst the Bengals onOct. 14.Travis Benjamin gives

the Browns a speed di-mension. He missed thegames against the Giantsand Bengals with a ham-string injury and caughtthree passes against theColts. He was not targetedin the San Diego game."There are plays that

we kind of earmark forcertain guys right now,"offensive coordinator BradChildress said. "The guysknow which plays thoseare."We can have the best

intention. We can want tothrow the ball to this per-son and it's not going tothis person because thatperson happens to begloved or covered. Therewill be some challenges,but those are good chal-lenges to have as opposedto whom are we going tothrow it to (because of alack of reliable receivers)."The Browns already

played the Ravens oncethis season. Weeden com-pleted 25 of a season-high52 passes for 320 yards, notouchdowns and an inter-ception in a 23-16 loss.Weeden has had two

300-plus passing gamesthis season, and theBrowns lost both. Hepassed for 322 yardsagainst the Bengals in thesecond week of the seasonin a game the Browns lost,34-27.

Browns offensestill evolvingWeeden, Richardsonare leading the way

BY JEFF SCHUDELWilloughby Herald

Halfway through theseason, the Browns havewon half as many gamesas they did in 2011, beforeanyone in Cleveland everheard of Jimmy HaslamIII.The Browns were 3-3

after six games last yearand 1-9 the rest of theway. They are 2-6 this sea-son after a 0-5 start.Haslam was awarded a

game ball in the lockerroom Sunday after theBrowns beat the Charg-ers, 7-6, in the cold, windand rain at ClevelandBrowns Stadium. The newBrowns owner emergedclutching that ball tightlyin his left hand and shak-ing hands of well-wisherswith his right. Momentsearlier, he held up the balland talked to the playerswho are eager to pleasehim."Since I've been here it's

just been ‘We're happy wegot a win, OK — phew,'"tight end Alex Smith, inhis third year with theBrowns, said Monday inthe locker room. "Nowwe're developing a cul-ture. We're just trying tokeep on this path of (goingup)."I think it hit home

even more when (Haslam)came in and talked to us.That was pretty much thebottom line. He said, ‘I'm

about winning. Whoever'son board, we'll be good.'That was kind of awaken-ing everybody — it's gotime. Of course we werealready aware of that, butto hear that from the bigguy puts a little more ef-fort into it. Even after thegame ball, he said, ‘Youknow what, let's getgreedy and get anotherwin.' That was his finalmessage to us and that'swhere everybody is rightnow.'"At the end of the sea-

son, Haslam will deter-mine the fate of Coach PatShurmur and the coach-ing staff as well as thefront office.The atmosphere in the

locker room is differentthan it was a year ago. In2011, no one knew whatwas going on in PeytonHillis' head. The playersall believe in rookie run-ning back Trent Richard-son and they believebrighter days are aheadbecause of rookie quarter-back Brandon Weeden,rookie receiver Josh Gor-don, the young lineback-ers and defensive line.Twenty-seven players onthe roster have played lessthan two full seasons."Obviously, record-wise

we're not where I want tobe right now," Shurmursaid Monday. "But I see ateam that's battling. I see

Browns in a deep hole.Had Gordon not dropped asure pass in Indianapolis,they might be riding athree-game winningstreak into their gamewith the Ravens on Sun-day.The Browns caught a

break of their own againstthe Chargers when RobertMeachem dropped a ballthat should have resultedin a San Diego touchdown."We function better as a

team (since the firstgame)," Shurmur said.

"Our young skilled playerson offense are better, andwe're getting production.We've won two games inthe last three weeks.“So let's call it for what

it is."We're getting some de-

fensive players back (cor-nerback Joe Haden,defensive tackle Phil Tay-lor, defensive AhtybaRubin, linebacker James-Michael Johnson) thatwill help us.“If you function better

and you're playing betterand you win a couplegames and you're gettingsome players back thatcan help you win, thathelps me stay positive."Beating Baltimore

would be a huge step forthe Browns. They havelost nine straight games tothe Ravens.

butt. I made it a point, es-pecially this year, tobustmy butt and do every-thing I can – watch extrafilm, do whatever isneces-sary to better myself,” hesaid. “After every season,my dad and I sitdown andtalk about things I couldimprove on, to do better atthis, to get better at that.”That determination

doesn’t come from his fa-ther alone.His mom, Gilda, is an

attorney who flies backand forth from Chicago to

Columbus for her job aschief litigation counsel forNationwide Insurance.

Earlier this year in astory in Columbus Busi-ness First, Gilda Spencertold how an academic ad-visor at Ohio State tried toget her to abandon herhopes of going to lawschool and said she shouldconsider becoming a para-legal.“She discouraged me

from doing that and sug-gested I become a parale-gal. I took that as apersonal challenge,” shesaid in the story.

CINCINNATI (AP) —Bengals coach MarvinLewis publicly challengedquarterback Andy Daltonand middle linebackerRey Maualuga onWednes-day to become more force-ful leaders on their 3-4team.The move was out of

character for Lewis, whoprefers to handle thingsquietly and internally. Itunderscored the Bengals'predicament approachingthe season's midpoint —it's time to start winningor else."We've wallowed

around here in medioc-rity," Lewis said. "Let's go.That's the thing we've gotto do."Cincinnati has lost

three in a row headinginto home games againstthe Denver Broncos (4-3)and the Super Bowl cham-pion New York Giants (6-2). The Bengals went 9-7and got a wild card berthlast season, when Daltonwas a rookie andMaualuga was in his firstseason at middle line-backer.With this season start-

ing to slip away, Lewischallenged the two youngplayers — Maualuga is inhis fourth season overall— to step up."We're looking for our

quarterback and our mid-dle linebacker to take holdof our football team, and Ithink that's important forus," Lewis said. "I thinkboth guys are such goodpeople, that you've got tobe a little bit of a (jerk).You do."Andy has a great deal

of confidence, self-confi-dence, internal confidence,confidence in the guysaround him. But at somepoint you step out of yourskin and you go. And it's

time to go."Lewis' comments

weren't off-the-cuff. Hesaid essentially the samethings during a conferencecall with writers in Den-ver, making a point tochallenge the quarterbackand the linebacker.Lewis has defended

Maualuga as the defensestruggled this season. Thelinebacker said he feels hehas the support of Lewisand defensive coordinatorMike Zimmer. He ac-cepted Lewis' commentsas a challenge to become amore vocal."So I guess it is my op-

portunity — not like itwas never given to me butat the same time, time tobe a jerk, time to get in themiddle of that defense andstart spicing things upand get everybody run-ning around and be on thesame page," Maualugasaid. "A quote that coach(Lewis) gave me before Icame to the facility: 'Therate of the pack is deter-mined by the speed of theleader.'"So I think the quicker I

get things going, thequicker I get things riledup, the more people willbuy into it and the morewe can get things startedand get going. I love theopportunity and the chal-lenge, so I'll give it every-thing I've got."Dalton was reluctant to

assume a leadership rolelast season, when he wasa rookie learning the of-fense as he went along. Heleft it up to other veteransto take charge, concentrat-ing on what he had to doto learn the position.Lewis wants Dalton to

start taking a bigger rolein making sure everyoneon the offense is doingthings correctly.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP)— San Francisco GiantsCEO Larry Baer wants toadd more World Serieschampionships to the twohis franchise has capturedthe past three seasons.Why not build a base-

ball dynasty in the BayArea?Baer said Wednesday

the front office is alreadyhard at work beginningplans for the 2013 roster— and he is optimisticmany familiar faces willstick around, includingsecond baseman and NLchampionship series MVPMarco Scutaro."Nobody thinks we

should be done," Baersaid. "I think we want toget lots of people back,and he's one of them. ...My favorite sign was 'SanFrancisco, Happiest Placeon Earth.' That's how weall feel about this. That'swhat the goal is."NL West champion San

Francisco completed afour-game sweep of theDetroit Tigers on Sundaynight at Comerica Park.The Giants and the citycelebrated with an or-ange-and-black paradethrough downtownWednesday — fitting itfell on Halloween.General manager Brian

Sabean called it a priorityto re-sign Scutaro, centerfielder Angel Pagan andleft-handed reliever Je-remy Affeldt.So far, he said, his staff

has spoken only "infor-mally" about what's nextas everyone wanted to getthrough Wednesday's fes-tivities before starting inearnest.Scutaro, who celebrated

his 37th birthday Tuesdayand then partied somemore with his teammatesa day later before thisgroup parts ways for thewinter, said it's a no-brainer he would like toreturn."What a question. Of

course I want to comeback," Scutaro said."Sometimes there are de-cisions you can't control. Idon't know what they'rethinking, what otherteams are thinking. I justhave to wait.“The only thing I can

say is I hope everythingworks out because I wantto come back here."So, what will it take?"I want 15 years, three

thousand million dollars,"Scutaro joked. "How doyou like me now? I gottago."Just like two years ago,

the Giants brass is abouta month behind in prepar-ing for next season.Though vice president ofbaseball operations BobbyEvans has said that's agood problem to have.
