Former Versailles man dies in pool accident City Record WILLIAMSBURG, Ky. — A former Versailles, Ohio, resident died early Thursday morning of a possible drowning in a swimming pool accident. Zachary Richard, 25, was traveling with his family from South Carolina to Ohio, TV station WKYT reported. They stopped at the Cumberland Inn for the night. Whitley County

Zachary Richard

Coroner Andy Croley was called to the hotel after 10 p.m. He said the investigation is on going but Richard’s death is considered an accident. He possibly drowned after hitting his head. Richard’s obituary, which appears on Page 3 today, lists the time of death as 1:25 a.m. Thursday. The hotel’s pool was closed and was to remain closed

until the investigation was finished, WKYT reported. “What we have to do now is formulate everything that went on and to get a timeline to reconstruct everything,” Croley told WKYT. Residents at the Cumberland Inn have to swim at their own risk. There’s no lifeguard on duty and diving is prohibited.

From page 1 removing trash that had accumulated in the Anna Police Department. In a related issue, during the town hall meeting in which Anna residents asked council members to discuss reasons why they wanted to disband, Council President Richard Eshleman brought up the issue of Evans’ psychological examination, which was done to determine his fitness for duty. It was learned that two prior psychological examinations for fitness for duty had been completed while Evans was employed at the Minster Police Department. The Anna examination results as well as the Minster examination results were released to the Sidney Daily News. The psychological examinations for Minster, which were completed by Psychological Resources Inc., indicated that at that time he was “tense” and “frustrated” and his behavior control was described as “somewhat unstable” and “expedient.” Evans was described as an “unacceptable candidate” for a “public safety position,” and it noted he had “chronic ineffectiveness.” The report stated Evans “may not consistently work well as part of a team.” In the second psychological examination done for the Minster Police Department by the same firm, Evans was described as “neither particularly dependable” or “particularly sloppy.” The report said “Mr. Evans shows a pattern of maladjustment which, while not inherently disqualifying, limits

effectiveness at work and in personal matters. Investigators should focus on evidence of poor performance, poorer than his potential, and on whether the progression is toward improvement or deterioration.” The psychological evaluation which was done for the village of Anna by Daum and Associates of Cincinnati, reviewed Evans problems at the Anna Police Department, including his allegations against Shelby County Sheriff John Lenhart and the Shelby County Sheriff’s office and allegations against Anna Fire Chief Tim Bender, who also serves as a Shelby County Sheriff’s Deputy, accusing Bender of setting fire to the Anna Rescue Squad building. Evans told Dr. James Daum, the psychologist who evaluated him, he “has a clean disciplinary record,” although records from Sidney Municipal Court indicate disciplinary action, as do records from Minster Police Department. The report said Evans showed “no evidence of significant psychopathology” and said he can “readily gain the confidence of others” and is “persuasive.” Evans was determined to be fit for duty. Evans’ future with the Anna Police Department was not discussed during Tuesday’s Anna Council meeting, during which council members decided to table a decision to disband the Anna Police Department. A committee has been formed to look at the problems in the department.

“I’m not used to (my brother) being gone yet. I do OK with it, unless we start talking about it.” Holiday Suicide Myth While for some, the short days, long nights and nostalgia of the holiday season can be triggers for depression, it is not true that suicide rates increase around the holidays. In fact, according to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) National Center for Health Statistics, December has the lowest suicide rate of any month. The often-cited myth perpetuates due to a number of factors, says Karen Dickey, executive director of the Mental Health Coalition, an organization based in Troy and focused on suicide prevention. First, there’s the “newsworthiness” of holidaysassociated suicides. Any that do occur tend to reinforce the myth, and get reported as such. “Certainly suicides that occur around the holidays become associated with that time of year,” Dickey says. “And as families and friends gather year to year, its something that’s always going to be with them. On the other hand, having family and friends around, being more connected, actually reduces the incidence of suicide.” Dickey says that’s a good lesson to learn, and suggests that families, friends, co-workers, and neighbors who gather at the holidays should “establish commitments to keep connecting throughout the year, especially through the dark days of winter. Making plans for a midwinter visit, phone call or get-together may actually help to save a life.” The writer is director of Community Resource Development, Tri-County Board of Recovery and Mental Health Services.

the stresses that family gatherings can bring. Ed, the third man at the table, says, “It’s hard to reach out to people and be thankful for what you have. It’s hard, but that’s what you have to do.” Ed, who has a diagnosis of paranoid schizophrenia, lives with his 81-year-old mother and says he enjoys the holidays. “I think it gets better around the holidays. I like the food!” Gregg observes, “I guess its either one way or another — for some people it’s better, and for some it’s worse.” Depression Triggers “Holidays are depressing,” says Ruth, around bites of her sandwich. “There’s nothing to do. I don’t go to the family gathering — my kids don’t want nothing to do with me.” Ruth describes her seasonal spiral into severe depression. She gets depressed, which causes her to withdraw, which heightens the sense of isolation, which worsens the depression. “I usually end up in the hospital, in Dettmer,” she says. “But I signed up to come here this Thanksgiving. I’m trying not to go to the hospital. If it wasn’t for SafeHaven, I don’t know what I’d do.” Ruth’s lunch partner Mary (not her real name) agrees. “It’s been depressing for me the last couple of years. My brother had passed away and his wife was staying with us. And I had promised we would take care of her, and she’d never go to a nursing home, but we can’t take care of her and she has to go to the home. I feel like I’ve let him down.” Mary wipes away tears and gathers herself. She says the hardest part about the holidays — ironically the best part for many people — is that it is a time for reflection.

Shopping From page 1 some shoppers had planned protests on Thanksgiving and Black Friday to decry the way some store employees were forced to miss holiday meals at home. But as of Thursday afternoon, there were no reports of widespread protests. Judy Espey ducked out of a Thanksgiving family dinner to buy a 50-inch flat-screen TV at WalMart near Clifton Park, N.Y., for $288. But “I don’t really dig the Thanksgiving night thing,” she confessed. “I feel bad for the workers.” Vinnie Gopalakrishnan pledged not to hit the stores after seeing TV footage of people shopping on Thanksgiving. But he flip-flopped after his cousin told him about a deal on a big-screen TV. “I said, ‘I’m not going to do it. Those people are crazy,’” Gopalakrishnan said before heading to a Wal-Mart on Friday. It’s unclear whether the early openings will lead shoppers to spend more over the two days or simply spread sales out.

Last year, sales on Thanksgiving rose 55 percent from the previous year to $810 million, as more stores opened on the holiday, according to research firm ShopperTrak. But sales dropped 1.8 percent to $11.2 billion on Black Friday, though it still was the biggest shopping day last year. Store sales numbers won’t be available until Saturday. The National Retail Federation said 140 million people planned to shop during the four-day holiday weekend. IBM Benchmark, which tracks e-commerce for 800 retailers, said online sales rose 19.7 percent on Thanksgiving. There are signs that stores fared well, too. Wal-Mart, the world’s largest retailer, started its holiday sales events at 6 p.m. on Thanksgiving, two hours earlier than last year. Wal-Mart said customers bought at least 2.8 million towels, 2 million TVs, 1.4 million tablets, 300,000 bicycles and 1.9 million dolls.

Terry Lundgren, Macy’s CEO, said the 15,000 people who showed up for the opening of the flagship store was the most ever, up from 11,000 last year. “Clearly people are in the shopping mood,” he said. Of course, not every retailer saw robust crowds. At Woodland Hills mall in Tulsa, Okla., the owner of Bags and Bangle complained that he had to stay open from 8 p.m. on Thanksgiving to 10 p.m. on Friday. Suhail Zaidi, who was required by the mall to keep his booth open, said Thanksgiving was somewhat busy, but business had died down by 3 a.m. On Friday morning, he said he had seen only about 20 customers. “We ruined the holiday,” Zaidi said. “Black Friday is a good shopping day, but opening up on Thanksgiving is ridiculous.” AP writers Chris Carola in Clifton Park, N.Y., and Kristi Easton in Tulsa, Okla.; AP Retail Writer Mae Anderson in New York; and AP Business Writer Sarah Sell in Portland, Ore., contributed to this report.

Stocking Although the program has traditionally been called Stockings for Soldiers, this year the stockings are going to the sailors aboard the USS Tucson, a nuclear submarine in the U.S. Navy, stationed at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii. Cody Keith, son of Sherrie Robbins, both of Sidney, is currently serving aboard the submarine. Robbins is the motorclothes manager at Gover Harley-Davidson. Keith is a 2008 Sidney High School graduate. Robbins said he has been out to sea for about three months now, while his wife, Amber McJunkin Keith, formerly of Jackson Center, and their two children live on base. “I’ve always helped out with the program each year at work,” Robbins

Nov. 30, 1963 Robert Burns has resigned as Shelby County Civil Defense director – a post he has held for the past 3 ½ years. Departure of Burns will mean the loss of a man who built up an effective unit after finding only two boxes of paper to work with when he began the job in 1959. Now the Shelby County organization has been built up to an organization of 300 volunteer workers who have at their disposal equipment worth between $65,000 and $75,000.

Nov. 30, 1988 There is going to be a fight over an application for tax abatement. NK Parts filed for an abatement and the Turtle Creek Township Trustees are opposing it. The commissioners and the WODC urged the trustees to approve it. NK owns 76 acres and proposes to build a plant on the site. ––––– The United way indeed had a successful campaign. The goal this year was $660,000. Campaign workers knocked the ball out of the bark. The final tally was in excess of $728,000. Campaign chair Mike Cecil and director Deborah Russ made the announcement. ––––– These news items from past issues of the Sidney Daily News are compiled by the Shelby County Historical Society (4981653) as a public service to the community.

Board From page 1 “We care very much about our community,” Kellersmith said. She said she was upset about the comments by Lenhart and Ehemann also. Kellersmith noted the board has no funding since the Shelby County Commissioners cut the funding a few years ago. Lenhart had stated during a news conference on Wednesday that the board had been contacted and had not responded to the

calls. Ehemann said at the time that she called all three women twice and had no response to her messages. Ehemann contacted the Sidney Daily News after receiving a call from Kellersmith, but it was after the news deadline. The board is scheduled to meet with the Shelby County Commissioners Tuesday at 3:45 p.m. regarding the possible closing of the park.

The next year the stockings went to Bravo Battery from Piqua while they were deployed, and last year they went to the 1486th which is the Ohio National Guard unit that the 1487th Transportation Company (also from Piqua) replaced during their recent deployment to Afghanistan.

Nov. 30, 1938 The Caven stockyard at Conover, owned and operated the past five years by Clay Caven, was destroyed by fire at 4:30 yesterday afternoon. There were only 15 head of cattle and several hogs in the stockyard at the time as a large shipment had been made the previous afternoon. Five head of cattle and one hog perished in the flames, the remainder being led to safety. A passing motorist discovered the fire and gave the alarm. The St. Paris and Fletcher fire departments fought the blaze and succeeded in saving the loading dock. ––––– William H. Burkhardt, 83, long associated with the real estate business in Sidney died at Wilson Memorial Hospital where he had been removed a few hours earlier when stricken with a cerebral hemorrhage. He and his brother John became partners with their father

in the shoe business in 1879 and in 1880 they erected the present three story Burkhart Building at the corner of South Main Avenue and Court Street. Mr. Burkhart later sold his interest in the shoe business to his brother and confined his activities to real estate.

Each stocking also includes a Christmas card provided and signed by a local citizen who wanted to show her support for the sailors. “We always try to send the stockings to a unit that has ties to our community,” Gover wrote. “In 2010, they went to the unit of Staff Sgt.

Another year the local art club provided a few dozen beautifully decorated stockings to send. With each empty stocking we provide a list of items that might make good stocking stuffers, including snacks, games, word puzzle books, batteries, toiletries, powdered drink mixes and candy.

Horoscope HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Saturday, Nov. 30, 2013: This year you open up to many new opportunities, though some of them come with quite a few hassles and difficult people. Go for what you want, but be aware that there could be some unwanted trappings. If you are single, you could meet someone who is emotionally unavailable. Unless you desire a situation like this, walk away fast. If you are attached, the two of you often sit down to have a conversation. Look for the best ways to support each other in your life goals. SCORPIO is willful; avoid arguing with him or her. The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-Soso; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH Your intuition helps you land on your feet and deal with an unexpected. This situation could involve some travel or encourage a meeting with a very offbeat person. Know that you will have the control you need if you decide to head down that path. Tonight: A must appearance. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH Others come to you before you even pick up the phone to call them. Try not to get uptight about all the invitations you receive. Something you have wished for could become a reality. Refuse to get caught in a war of wills. Tonight: Talk about your path and get feedback. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHH You might be back

to the humdrum of your daily life, as you have so much on your plate that you need to complete. Work with a partner directly, but understand that this person could change direction at the drop of hat. You can’t control this person. Tonight: Watch a movie. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Your naughtiness seems to be contagious. News from a distance might persuade you to hop the next plane. You could find it difficult to change gears as quickly as you might want. A partner or dear friend might not see the situation as you do. Tonight: Let your hair down. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH Realize that you might need a day off from the intense holiday pace that is starting to build. Lounging at home seems like a good day. You might need to handle a personal issue. Some of you might decide to take a stab at the holiday frivolity. Tonight: Order in. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Take news with a grain of salt, especially if it comes to you from a child or loved one. This person might have heard only what he or she wanted to. You could be surprised by the whole story, once it become readily available to you. Tonight: Partake in some eggnog with friends. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH No one would say anything if you took off and indulged yourself instead

of everyone else. Lose any feeling of guilt, and enjoy yourself. Meet a family member or friend for a late lunch. Do not orchestrate the whole day, just go with the flow. Tonight: Swap news with a friend. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Wherever you are, you shine. It is obvious that you are filled with confidence and are making excellent choices. Call home or check in with an older relative or parent. You might opt to adjust plans after having this conversation. Tonight: Do what pleases you. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21) HHH Be discreet, especially if something bothers you. Choose to be an observer and gather more information. You might not be prepared to make a change or walk in a new direction just yet. Use caution with your spending. Tonight: Get some extra R and R. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Zero in on what you want. You might not feel as if your desires can be realized. Think positively so that you don’t jinx yourself. You might not realize just how many friends you have supporting you. Tonight: Where the gang is. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Listen and be more direct when dealing with an older friend who always wants to have it his or her way. When you are too busy

to hang out, this person tends to throw tantrums. The time has come to clear the air. Remember to honor your needs first. Tonight: Till the wee hours. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH You still might be trying to detach and understand a recent development in a relationship. Try imagining that you are the other party, and let go of your own inner chatter. You might need to set a stronger boundary between you and this person. Tonight: Try a new music spot.

Houston’s Jake Braun goes up for a shot in traffic as Jackson Center’s Brady Widermuth (34) and Gavin Wildermuth try to stop him Friday night at Houston.

HOUSTON — The Houston Wildcats started a bit slow, but turned it up in the second quarter and went on to beat Jackson Center in County boys basketball action Friday night at Houston, 69-48. The game was the season opener for both teams. Houston, 1-0, is back at it tonight at Newton in Pleasant Hill. Jackson Center returns to action Friday at home against the Russia Raiders. Jackson Center led 16-13 after one quarter and scored the first point of the second period to make it 17-13. But that’s when Houston took control, scoring 10 straight points for a 23-17 lead, and pulling steadily away from there. By the half, the Wildcats were up 32-25. “We liked the pace of the first quarter, but we just didn’t convert,” said Houston coach John Willoughby. “We want to push it more this season, and we were running pretty well. We had good attempts that weren’t falling, but I felt good the way we were playing.” The Wildcats pulled out to a 55-40 lead over the Tigers after three periods. “I thought the pace was the

We got in a little foul trouble. We had three starters on the bench in the second quarter. So it’s nice to see the subs come in and do the job.” Jesse Phlipot had 10 points to lead Houston, but he had plenty of help.

Redskins rally to edge Knoxville FORT LORAMIE — It looked like the Fort Loramie Redskins were going to have their way with the New Knoxville Rangers in the season opener Friday night in boys basketball, rolling to a 20-10 lead after one quarter. But the Rangers got back in it and the two teams went right down to the wire, with Loramie pulling out a 63-61 thriller in nonleague action at Loramie. The Redskins are 1-0 and will be back in action Friday at home against Fairlawn in County play. The Rangers are 0-1 and return to action Friday night at home against Waynesfield. The Rangers dominated play in the middle two periods, outscoring the Redskins 42-25 to come from 10 down to seven ahead going into the final period. They had a 25-point outburst in the second quarter, but the Redskins hit 19 to maintain a fourpoint lead at the half. The Redskins had good balance, led by Devin Braun’s 22 points. Kyle Pleiman added 16 and Grant Olberding chipped

in 15. Braun and Pleiman were the main reason Loramie shot well from the free throw line. The Redskins were 27-for-34 for the game, 79 percent, with Pleiman going 8-for-9 and Braun 8-for-10. Braun also had all four of Fort Loramie’s three-pointers in the game. For New Knoxville, Jalen Fullenkamp had 19 and Shane Topp 10. Three others had seven or more.

Bucks aim to avoid upset at Michigan ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) — Ohio State has put itself in a position to possibly play in the BCS championship. The third-ranked Buckeyes (11-0, 7-0 Big Ten) are undefeated and heavily favored to stay that way after playing slumping archrival Michigan (7-4, 3-4) on Saturday at the Big House. Ohio State has won a schoolrecord 23 straight games since losing to Florida in the Gator Bowl on Jan. 2, 2012, and in Ann Arbor to close the 2011 regular season. It seems to be set up for more success on both sides of the ball against Michigan. Quarterback Braxton Miller and running back Carlos Hyde help the Buckeyes strike a balance on offense and linebacker Ryan Shazier leads a stingy defense. Ohio State coach Urban Meyer acknowledged he might talk to his team about how Ohio State’s team in 1969 went to Michigan Stadium with a 22-game winning streak and came home with a loss against Bo Schembechler’s first team in what is remembered as the biggest upset in the storied series. “It’s always good to talk about the history of the rival-

ry,” Meyer said. The Wolverines, who are playing for just pride and bowl positioning, insist they’re not motivated by the opportunity to spoil Ohio State’s season. “We talk about ourselves and what we have to do,” Michigan coach Brady Hoke said. “We’ve never ever mentioned it, and I won’t. That’s not what the game is about. It’s about us playing our best football for our seniors and the greatest rivalry in sport.” When Ohio State plays at Michigan here are five things to watch: HOW CAN MICHIGAN WIN?: Hoke said if he wasn’t very confident his team could win, he’d call the game off. So, what does Hoke think the keys to victory are? “We have to stay away from negative plays offensively,” he said. Michigan hasn’t been able to do that all season, ranking 123rd and last among major college football teams with more than 100 plays stopped behind the line of scrimmage. “Defensively, we’ve got to do a great job in the rushing game,” Hoke added. That will be tough, too. Hyde has run for 1,064 yards and 13 touchdowns in eight games. The senior has 100-plus yards rushing in six straight games

HISTORIC UPSETS: By beating Indiana last week, the Buckeyes broke a school record they shared with the 1967-69 teams. Ohio State won the final four games of the 1967 and went undefeated the next season, including a 50-14 victory over Michigan. Buckeyes coach Woody Hayes went for a 2-point conversion late in the rout. When Hayes was later asked why he did it, he supposedly said, “Because I couldn’t go for three!” The following year, with a team Hayes thought was his best in 28 years, the Schembechler-led Wolverines won 24-12. Since then, Michigan’s biggest upset was a 13-9 win in 1996 as a 17-point underdog. SEEKING REDEMPTION: Ohio State has won eight of the last nine meetings with the lone loss coming two years ago in Ann Arbor. When Miller was a freshman on a team that had seven losses under interim coach Luke Fickell — the most since 1897, the quarterback overthrew a wide-open DeVier Posey in the final minute for what could have been a gamewinning 76-yard touchdown. “It was heartbreaking,” safety C.J. Barnett said. “We let the great state of Ohio down.” Now the Buckeyes get anoth-

er chance to win at Michigan. DISTRACTED BUCKS?: Ohio State has already clinched a spot in next week’s Big Ten championship game. A loss to Michigan would knock the Buckeyes out of the BCS title picture, but they could still earn a conference championship and a trip to the Rose Bowl by beating the Spartans in Indianapolis. Meyer, though, insisted it hasn’t been difficult to get his players to focus on only the Wolverines. “Our motto this week is ‘All lasers pointed at one dot,’” Meyer said. “That dot represents the focus we have on beating these guys.” MICHIGAN MEN: Devin Gardner has scored five touchdowns in two different games this year, including against Indiana, who let him account for a school-record 585 yards of offense. The Hoosiers also gave up a Big Ten-record 369 yards receiving to Jeremy Gallon. Even though Michigan has struggled to consistently block well for the pass or run, its occasionally spectacular quarterback has gotten Meyer’s attention. “He was unstoppable against Indiana,” Meyer said. “I remember thinking, ‘That’s as good a quarterback as there is in America.’”

Trojans fall in OT in Tip-Off tourney ZANESFIELD — The Botkins Trojans had excellent balance and had more field goals than Benjamin Logan Friday in bys basketball. But they couldn’t overcome a huge advantage for the home team at the free throw line and wound up falling short 68-63 in overtime in the first round of the Ben Logan Tip-Off Classic here. The Trojans, 0-1 on the year, will play in the consolation game tonight at 6 p.m. Botkins led 21-17 after a quarter thanks to five three-pointers in the first

period alone, two each by Roger Miller and Austin Jones. The Trojans held a slim 36-34 lead at the half, and trailed 48-47 after three periods. But they were able to pull even after regulation at 57, and had the last shot, which didn’t find the mark. Ben Logan was able to get the lead in overtime and put it away at the line, hitting seven free throws. The Raiders hit the first bucket of the extra session, and after the Tropans missed, they fouled and Ben Logan converted both for a four-point lead that

Botkins couldn’t overcome. For Botkins, Miller had 21 points, but the Raiders did a god job on him in the second half, limiting him to two field goals. Brock Fullenkamp had 18 for the Trojans, Alex Roberts added 12 and Austin Jones finished with 10. Free throws proved to be the difference. While Botkins was attempting just five and making three, Ben Logan went to the line 33 times and sank 23. “We put them in that spot,” Botkins coach Brett Meyer said of the free throws. “We have to get

better defensively. I’m not at all happy about giving up 68 points.” Botkins (63) Miller 8-2-21; Roberts 5-012; Jones 3-1-10. Greve 1-0-2. Fullenkamp 9-0-18. Totals: 26-363.

Anna’s Joel Albers holds the ball high to keep it away from Fairlawn defenders in action Friday at Fairlawn.

Anna rolls to 80-40 victory Anna dominated from start to finishing rolling to an 80-40 County boy basketball victory Friday night at Fairlawn. The Rockets, 1-0, return to action for a big earlyseason matchup at home against Houston Friday. Fairlawn is back in action Tuesday night at Triad. “They came out aggressive, and we weren’t ready,” said Fairlawn coach Justin Tidwell. “We got in a little foul trouble early with our guards, and Anna pressed us full court and really hurt us. They hurt us in the transition game. There were a lot of three-on-one breaks.” Anna led 21-8 after a quarter and put it away with a 46-17 lead at the half. Carter Bensman led the

onslaught for the Rockets with 23 points and Josh Robinson added 18. Joel Albers finished with 13. For Fairlawn, Nathan Lessing and Joey Cockroft both had nine.

The Bengals offense has problems getting started Joe Kay

17-0 at halftime in Baltimore before taking that game to overtime, too, and a 20-17 loss. They gave up 13 points in the first quarter against Cleveland before piling up a club-record 31 in the second quarter of a 41-20 win heading into their bye. The offense’s numbers have been awful before halftime. During the first half of the games at Miami and Baltimore, the Bengals had 13 series that resulted in seven punts, two interceptions, one fumble, one field goal, one missed field goal and one drive that ended when they couldn’t convert a fourth down. In the first quarter against Cleveland, the Bengals had three punts and two interceptions, one of which was returned for a touchdown. The Bengals haven’t been able to keep drives going. They’ve converted Associated Press only 9 of 37 third-down chances (24 percent) in the last two games. Against North Florida’s Travis Wallace, right, and Ohio State’s Marc Loving fight for a loose ball during the first Cleveland, they had a third-and-10 half Friday in Columbus. and a third-and-20 in the first quarter because of penalties. “The last couple of weeks we’ve been behind the chains, had third-and-long situations which makes it tough,” quarterback Andy Dalton said. “If we can get these third downs shorter going in, I think it will help keep drives alive.”

Associated Press

CINCINNATI — During a bye week that gave them a chance to sit back and take stock of their shortcomings, the Bengals quickly hit upon the one thing troubling them the most. Somebody needs to wake up their offense before halftime. The Bengals (7-4) have needed big comebacks in each of the last three games, two of them ending in overtime losses. Their offense does next to nothing in the first half — or worse, it gives up points — before getting in gear and catching up. Everybody knows what has to change when the AFC North leaders play at San Diego (5-6) on Sunday. “I think the biggest thing for us this week is not playing from behind,” safety Chris Crocker said. “It seems like the last couple of weeks we’ve gotten behind and then we’ve calmed down and started to play better. But we’ve had to play catch up.” For the most part, the defense has done a good job in the opening half. It’s the offense that needs a lot of work. The Bengals fell behind at Miami 17-3 in the third quarter before rallying to take the game to overtime and losing 22-20. A week later, they trailed

COLUMBUS — LaQuinton Ross broke out of a frigid shooting spell by scoring 17 points Friday night and No. 7 Ohio State rode a 19-point first-half run to a 99-64 victory over North Florida. Amir Williams and Amedeo Della each hit career highs for the Buckeyes (6-0), with 18 and 17 points, respectively. Aaron Craft added 16 points, making his first 3-pointer of the season, while Lenzelle Smith Jr. had 10. Beau Beech and Dallas Moore each had 14 points and Charles McRoy 11 for North Florida (4-4), which fell to 0-16 against ranked teams and 0-6 against teams in the Top 10. It was the 100th collegiate win for Craft and Smith Jr., who reached that figure in 119 games — faster than any Ohio State player. Ross hit 6 of 9 shots from the field and 4 of 7 3-pointers after struggling all year to find his shot. He had a terrific run in the NCAA tournament a year ago, coming off the bench to give the Buckeyes instant offense on the way to the regional championship game. This year he was expected to replace departed Big Ten scoring leader Deshaun Thomas, but came in shooting just 22 percent from the field and averaging 6.2 points a game. Over the last the three games he was only 2 for 20 from the field including 1 for 8 behind the arc. But he came out cool and confident against the Ospreys, however. He hit all four shots from the field — including both 3-pointers — while picking up 10 points in the opening half as Ohio State built a 48-29 lead.

The Buckeyes, who came in shooting 42 percent on the season, were hot from the outset. They made their first eight shots from the field and finished the half 19 of 27 for 70 percent. They finished 36 of 52 on field goals for 69 percent. North Florida hit its first three shots from the field to build a 6-5 lead, but then went scoreless for more than 6 minutes while the Buckeyes ran off 19 points in a row to take the lead for good. The Ospreys were 0 for 8 from the field with six turnovers, while over that same span Ohio State hit 7 of 8 shots from the field and had two turnovers. Craft had three layups, Williams and Smith Jr. each had five points and Ross hit a 3 in the spurt. North Florida came back to score 14 of the next 18 — Beech hit two 3s and Davenport added one — to cut the lead to 28-20. But with freshman Marc Loving scoring five points, Ross making a 3 and another perimeter jumper, and Craft scoring on a left-handed scoop shot while getting knocked to the floor, the Buckeyes pulled away again. Already up by 19 at the break, Ohio State put it out of reach by scoring 11 of the first 13 points in the second half to swell the lead to 59-31. Ross had four points in that early rally. It was the second meeting between the teams, with the Buckeyes winning 85-50 at home on Nov. 21, 2011. The game was the Ospreys’ 29th game over the last five years in they got a guarantee to provide a biggername home team’s opposition. In those games, UNF is 2-27 with the wins coming at Southern Mississippi (53-46) and at Wyoming (76-60).
