The snow came a little late 

for a white Christmas, but 

when it came Wednesday, it 

came with a vengeance. 

Before noon, both Seneca 

and Hancock counties were 

put under Level 1 snow 

emergencies and events 

began to be canceled. The 

Wyandot 

County 

Courthouse, Health 

Department and Home 

Health, along with area public 

libraries, all closed their 

doors early. 

“It’s slippery and (vehicles 

are) sliding out here,” 

Wyandot County Sheriff 

Mike Hetzel said Wednesday 

morning. “It’s just (cold) 

enough that it froze underneath 

(the snow).”

COLUMBUS (AP) — Winter 

weather likely contributed to at least 

one fatality in Ohio, when an 18-yearold 

woman lost control of her car and 

crashed into an oncoming snow plow 

on a highway northeast of Cincinnati. 

The Hamilton County Sheriff’s 

Office said Jessica Galley, of Mason, 

died at about 3 p.m. Wednesday 

when she lost control of her car on 

southbound Interstate 71, drove 

across the median and crashed into a 

northbound Ohio Department of 

Transportation plow.

Worker closes family’s 

114-year circle at tire co. 

By JIM MacKINNON 

Akron Beacon Journal 

AKRON (AP) — In July 1898, F.A. Seiberling hired Ed 

Hippensteal to start cleaning up an old strawboard factory in 

Akron to turn it into the first home for the still unincorporated 

Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. 

Hippensteal and 12 others, including Seiberling, are memorialized 

in a plaque on the Goodyear clock tower off East Market 

Street as one of the “Old Guard” — the original 13 employees of 

Goodyear, all hired before 1900. 

Fast-forward 114 years: On Dec. 31, Hippensteal’s greatgrandson, 

Ed Rueschman, is taking a buyout and will retire from 

Goodyear after more than 46 years with the Akron tire maker. 

Rueschman, like his father, grandfather and namesake greatgrandfather, 

all worked for Goodyear. You could say Goodyear, 

through its first hired employee, Hippensteal, has been a fourgeneration 

family business ever since that day in 1898. 

The four men have 163 years of combined service, said 

Rueschman, 65, who lives in Uniontown. 

“I’m amazed I was able to be a part of that,” said Rueschman. 

The Steelworker drives trucks, picking up and delivering parts as 

part of his responsibilities in maintenance. 

He started in 1965, just three weeks after graduating from 

Ellet High School. His father had suggested he take a job with 

Goodyear. 

“I was thinking of more of a truck driving career” at the time, 

Rueschman said. But he agreed to apply at Goodyear and soon 

started working a midnight factory shift. His work at Goodyear 

was interrupted in 1967, when he entered the Army and served 

in the infantry in Vietnam, returning to civilian life in Akron 

about two years later. 

Rueschman did not know about his family’s connection to 

Goodyear’s founding until much later in life. 

“I just knew my dad and my grandpa worked here,” he said. 

But in the 1980s his great-aunt told him that his great-grandfather, 

on his mother’s side, was the very first person hired at 

Goodyear.

Associated Press 

CINCINNATI (AP) — Strong winds and 

snow whipped across Ohio roads, causing 

accidents, lane closures and emergency 

travel restrictions, and grounded some 

flights Wednesday as a major storm system 

pushed through on its way to the 

Northeast. 

The northern part of the state, including 

Cleveland and Ashtabula, had been under 

a blizzard warning earlier Wednesday. The 

National Weather Service later canceled 

the warning and issued a winter weather 

advisory. The system still was expected to 

bring up to four inches of evening snow, 

and wind gust could reach 30 mph. 

Conditions eased in southern parts of 

the state, but forecasters warned that 

freezing temperatures overnight could 

result in icy roads for drivers this morning. 

Dozens of flights at airports from 

Dayton to Cleveland were canceled or 

delayed, with more expected as some 900 

flights nationwide were canceled. 

Cleveland Hopkins International Airport 

spokesman Todd Payne cautioned travelers 

to check with their airlines. 

Early indications were that day-after- 

Christmas mall traffic was down, too, with 

people holding off in the weather on 

returning that ugly sweater or other 

unwanted gifts. 

“I can’t feel my feet, and the ice is hurting 

when it hits my face,” said Tracy Flint, 

a Columbus hair stylist, who was trudging 

across a shopping center parking lot to get 

to work. “But it could be worse.” 

The Ohio Turnpike imposed restrictions 

against high-profile vehicles and tripletrailer 

vehicles Wednesday night, and 

authorities reported multiple accidents on 

the turnpike in northern Ohio. 

In Darke County, in western Ohio, the 

sheriff’s office issued a Level 3 snow emergency, 

which bars all but emergency traffic. 

Authorities said blowing and drifting 

show cut visibility to near zero, and they 

were getting calls from motorists stranded 

in rural areas. A Level 3 also was issued in 

another western Ohio county, Mercer. 

In nearby Preble County, Interstate 70 

heading west toward Indiana was closed 

temporarily early Wednesday afternoon 

while a traffic accident was cleared, and 

Columbus police officers closed westbound 

I-70 near the capital later in the day to 

give salt crews time to clear ice off the 

lanes. 

However, Ohio State Highway Patrol Lt. 

Anne Ralston said no fatalities from accidents 

had been reported by mid-afternoon. 

The patrol urged drivers to increase their 

following distances and give themselves 

extra time to reach their destinations. 

Marian Lebron of Cleveland went out 

early Wednesday to buy oil for her snow 


Blanket 

Vehicles attempt to make their way through the snow Wednesday in downtown Upper 

Sandusky. 

Ohio motorists warned as storm 

moves through area 

blower and replace a couple of lights that 

had gone out on her car, then returned 

home and prepared to hunker down. Two 

to three inches of snow had fallen by midafternoon 

with forecasters calling for 

much worse conditions later. 

Lebron, 53, a telecommunications company 

project manager, said she can work 

at home if needed. She said she’s not a 

snow person, but was ready to do whatever 

was necessary to make it through the 

storm, including braving the elements with 

her snow pants, snow blower and shovel. 

“I’m kind of like, ‘Bring it on,”’ she said. 

The AAA service reported its busiest 

Wednesday of the year in the Greater 

Cincinnati region, responding to nearly 

500 member calls for tows, jump starts 

and other help by evening. 

Sheriffs in several other western Ohio 

counties issued road travel warnings, and 

authorities urged people to give trucks 

with salt and snow plows room to work on 

the highways. Several spots already had 

three to five inches by late morning. The 

snow was expected to end in the evening, 

with freezing temperatures remaining. 

The state’s largest military base, 

Wright-Patterson Air Force Base near 

Dayton, shut down operations because of 

the storm. 

The Ohio Department of Transportation 

said it pretreated major highways in anticipation 

of ice and heavy snow. Traffic was 

slow, but moving, in most of the storm-hit 

areas. 

Agencies in several counties, including 

Franklin and Cuyahoga, closed because of 

the weather. Clark County authorities in 

Springfield said road conditions were so 

hazardous that county transportation services 

would be provided only for essential 

medical needs, such as people getting dialysis 

treatments. 

The Greater Cincinnati Homeless 

Coalition said a winter shelter would open 

Wednesday evening at a downtown church 

to make sure people had a warm place to 

sleep. 

Not everyone was impressed. 

“If this is the worst of it, that’s OK,” said 

Thadd Fiala, 38, walking his dog in downtown 

Cincinnati. “I grew up in Michigan. 

The worst Cincinnati could do would be a 

normal day there.” 

And in nearby Lawrenceburg, Ind., Chip 

Perfect of Perfect North expected the snowfall’s 

aftermath to bring in more skiers to 

the resort during the holiday period. 

“For us, the timing’s good,” he said.

More than 4 1/2 inches of snow accumulated in Wyandot County on Wednesday as a 

winter storm moved through Ohio. 

Wyandot County hit with snow 

(Continued from page 1) 

A winter storm blanketed area roads with at 

least 4 1/2 inches of snow as it made its way to 

the Northeast on Wednesday. The National 

Weather Service said by late afternoon 

Wednesday, the Upper Sandusky area was 

expected to continue to experience heavy snowfall 

and the temperature stood at about 27 

degrees Fahrenheit. Heavy snow was expected to 

hit the area through the evening and into the 

night, the National Weather Service said. 

Northwest Ohio is under a winter storm warning 

through 7 p.m. today, with some counties in 

northern Ohio under a blizzard warning. 

Wyandot County was under a blizzard warning 

from about 3:40 p.m. Wednesday until 7 

a.m. today. Other affected areas included 

Crawford, Erie, Hancock, Huron, Marion, 

Ottawa, Sandusky and Seneca counties. The 

warning later was canceled and reduced to a 

winter storm warning. Snow totals in the region 

were well below predictions. 

The Associated Press predicted zero visibility 

at times Wednesday afternoon and evening and 

estimated Upper Sandusky area snowfall at 

more than 4 inches. The National Weather 

Service estimated that 6 inches of snow fell on 

Wyandot County during the storm. 

The Wyandot County Sheriff’s Office reported 

there were no injury accidents Wednesday, but 

vehicles could be seen off the roadway as people 

lost control of their vehicles on the ice- and 

snow-covered roadways. The sheriff’s office 

responded to several accident calls on U.S. 23, 

including one in which an unidentified man was 

trapped in his vehicle near the intersection of 

U.S. 23 and Ohio 199 South, but the man was 

uninjured. 

The Upper Sandusky Police Department 

responded to an accident call at about 12:10 

p.m. Wednesday. According to the report, Janet 

K. Grossman, Upper Sandusky, lost control of 

her vehicle at the intersection of Guthrie and 

Eighth streets, slid in the snow and struck a fire 

hydrant. The water department was contacted. 

Sheriff Mike Hetzel did not issue any warning 

levels for Wyandot County on Wednesday, but 

several other counties in the region were under 

level 1 and 2 snow emergencies. 

“We pretty much never go to (level) 1s,” the 

sheriff said. “We only do (level) 2s after conferring 

with the county engineer, the state highway 

department (and township) trustees. Why do 

people have to have snow levels (declared) to 

realize what it is when you can see what it is?” 

Hetzel said there are consequences for the 

TOLEDO (AP) — 

Authorities say none of the

Family history comes to end 

at Goodyear company in OH 


“She brought out all these pictures,” Rueschman said. “I had no 

idea. ... As time went on, I learned the history. I thought, wow, it’s 

going to be something if I can stay, complete the cycle.” 

His great-grandfather worked for Goodyear from 1898 to the year 

he died, 1946, for 48 years of service. The book The Goodyear Story 

mentions Hippensteal and includes pictures of his great-grandfather. 

Rueschman was born the year after his great-grandfather died. 

His grandfather, John F. Rueschman, worked at Goodyear from 

1915 to 1948, and his father, John L., started at Goodyear in 1941. 

All four men worked factory jobs. 

Goodyear noted Rueschman’s family history in 1998 when it 

rededicated the clock tower with the original “Old Guard” plaque 

that had been lost for years, likely removed after a fire in 1984. The 

plaque was found inside a remote section of Goodyear’s Plant One 

building in time for the ceremony that year.

county when he decides to declare a snow emergency. 

“There are factories and businesses that regulate 

to those (snow levels),” he said. “Some of 

them have to shut down; some don’t require people 

to work at different levels. ... There are so 

many government controls as there are. I think 

people here in Wyandot County are pretty aware 

of the situation all-in-all and they’re better 

equipped. 

“I don’t think people need total government 

control,” Hetzel added. 

He said there were no accidents or vehicles off 

roadways on secondary roads on Wednesday. All 

of the crash reports the sheriff’s office responded 

to were on U.S. 23 or U.S. 30. 

“We all need to make better preparations,” 

Hetzel said. “At times, it was extremely slippery.” 

He said the temperature dropped overnight, 

but he did not observe a lot of blowing snow and 

drifts this morning. 

“We have some of the best highway crews in 

any county,” the sheriff said. “With a little bit of 

caution and thought, people deal with it much 

better. ... We live in Ohio and it’s the end of 

December. We’ve been very fortunate that we 

haven’t had (much) snow for the last couple 

years. ... (The first winter weather event has) 

everybody a little uptight.” 

The sheriff said it is important for people to 

slow down. 

“We had people on the (four-lane highways 

Wednesday) who were exceeding the speed limit 

by 5, 10 miles per hour,” Hetzel said. “Slow 

down, make preparations and give yourself extra 

time. Watch breaking at intersections, curves 

and turns.” 

He said it also is important for drivers to carry 

emergency travel bags, including a cell phone, 

food, water, blankets and flashlights. 

“Have a cell phone to summon help,” Hetzel 

said. “Even if you don’t have an operational cell 

(phone) ... it will still operate to call 911. It might 

not have the GPS system in it. Know where 

you’re at when traveling.” 

He said drivers who become stranded should 

stay in their vehicles and keep a window cracked 

for ventilation. If possible, clear out the vehicle’s 

tail pipe to avoid carbon monoxide poisoning, 

Hetzel said. 

Wyandot County residents can listen to 106.3 

and 100.5 FM and 1130 AM for alerts from the 

county, as well as sign up for text messages during 

winter weather events, Hetzel said. The sheriff’s 

office is in the process of considering its own 

emergency text message system, Hetzel said.

chairman, works together on guest speakers. 

Cole also said she recently attended a community 

event put on by Senior Connection at

A Biblical 

Marriage 

Background Scripture: Ephesians 

5:21—6:4. 

Devotional Reading: John 3;16-21. 

Lately, in our local newspaper, there 

have been an increasing number of articles 

on the subject of “Christian marriage.” 

A recurring theme from some 

Christians is that we need to return to 

the Biblical teachings regarding marriage 

and not simply adopt those of our 

prevailing culture. 

I usually read these with interest 

because a decade ago, my wife Valere 

and I were asked to design, write and 

teach a weekend workshop at our downtown 

United Methodist church to prepare 

couples for marriage. It was suggested 

that, in preparation for designing 

the workshop, we should make a careful 

survey of marriage as presented in the 

Bible. We were not totally surprised to 

find that there is no single marriage 

model in the Bible. Five of the marriage 

models we found would be quite unacceptable 

today and probably illegal. 

Matriarchal marriage was the pattern 

for Jacob, Moses and Samson: they lived 

in the homes of their wives and Samson 

only made periodic visits to his wife at 

Timna. There was also patriarchal marriage 

in which descent is reckoned from 

the father and the rights and freedom of 

the wife are only within the context of 

the husband’s full authority. In early 

Old Testament times polygamy was 

widespread: some Hebrew patriarchs 

were married to more than one wife. 

There were also concubines who served 

as wives, but without their rights. Levirate 

marriage permitted the brother of a 

deceased husband to marry the widow 

to preserve the family name and assets. 

Other forms included marriage by capture, 

purchase or covenant. Most of the 

marital forms were derived from prevailing 

cultures, not by divine decree. 

Essentially marriage was an economic 

deal and the woman was regarded as an 

economic property. 

A HIGHER CALLING? 

Lastly, there was monogamy that eventually 

outlasted most other forms. But 

in the early centuries of Christianity 

there were some Christians who held 

celibacy as a higher estate, with monogamy 

for those who could not achieve 

celibacy. So ideally a “Christian marriage” 

is not so much a form of marriage 

as it is a marriage in which Christian 

teachings and values prevail. As cultures 

changed, the institution of marriage 

usually was affected, too. And usually, 

the gospel was often the cause of 

positive changes in the way people 

regarded marriage, although these 

changes were usually gradual. As a 

child, I noticed that our society seemed 

to accept that men might spank their 

wives and treat them like willful, 

naughty children, an attitude reflected 

in some of the movies of the 1930’s and 

40’s. 

I have reviewed all of the above with 

you as a prelude to saying that, 

although the view of marriage in Ephesians 

5:21--6:4 may seem jaded, it was 

definitely an advance over the views of 

marriage in the Roman, Greek, other 

pagan cultures, as well as Judaism 

itself. You will note in Ephesians 6:5-9 

that slavery is unquestioned. It was so 

much a part of life in those times that 

abolishing slavery was unthinkable. At 

one time in 17th to 19th century America 

slavery was sanctioned and even 

unquestioned by large segments of 

Christianity. Today Christians realize 

that, while slavery was accepted in some 

Christian writings, it was eventually 

incompatible with the gospel of Christ. 

So, the gospel was a major force in slavery’s 

demise. 

“Be subject to one another out of reverence 

for Christ.” (Some versions say “submitting 

yourselves”). But notice, this 

admonition is given to both husband 

and wife. True, he does go on to say: 

“Wives, be subject to your husband, as 

to the Lord. For the husband is the head 

of the wife as Christ is head of the 

church…” (5:21). The Western world has 

changed and equality of husband and 

wife are no longer regarded as “unequals.” 

There are still many parts of the 

world today where the teaching of Ephesians 

would be regarded as an abominable 

heresy. 

A WRONG EXPECTATION 

There is one other consideration: in the 

early years of the Church, when many 

Christians anticipated the immanent 

return of Christ in glory. This is why in 

his letters Paul counsels Christians not 

be get involved in radical changes, lest 

Christ return and their efforts are for 

naught. Paul eventually realized that 

this expectation was incorrect and that 

realization had a distinct effect upon the 

development of Christian concepts of 

behavior. (I Cor. 7:25-40). 

Marital expectations have changed 

remarkably in my lifetime. People expect 

a lot more out of the relationship than 

my parents, grandparents and great 

grandparents did. In our premarital 

workshop Valere and I tried to help our 

participants realize that one of the richest 

benefits of marriage is friendship. 

Many of the best marriages I know are 

those in which the participants regard 

each other as best friends. And this, I 

believe, is closer to what the writer of 

Ephesians is asking when he says: “Give 

way to one another in obedience to 

Christ” (Jerusalem Bible, 5:21) or 

“Honor Christ by submitting to each 

other” (Living Bible). Christ, not culture, 

is the authority to whom we submit ourselves 

and our marriages. 

A newspaper once reported a wedding 

in the following ominous paragraph: 

“Bob and Madeline were married on 

October 20, thus terminating a friendship 

that first began way back in junior 

high school.” Marriage is best and most 

Christian when, in marriage, we 

enhance our friendship, not terminate it. 

(The Bible Speaks is based upon the 

Uniform Bible Lesson used in some 40 

denominations and is based upon scripture 

passages chosen by a committee of 

representatives from those denominations, 

so that on any given Sunday, 

classes---children, youth and adult---of 

many denominations will be studying 

the same scripture passages.)

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The big deal for 

Hollywood is not the record $10.8 billion that 

studios took in domestically in 2012. It’s the 

fact that the number of tickets sold went up 

for the first time in three years. 

Thanks to inflation, revenue generally rises 

in Hollywood as admission prices climb each 

year. The real story is told in tickets, whose 

sales have been on a general decline for a 

decade, bottoming out in 2011 at 1.29 billion, 

their lowest level since 1995. 

The industry rebounded this year, with 

ticket sales projected to rise 5.6 percent to 

1.36 billion by Dec. 31, according to box-office 

tracker Hollywood.com. That’s still well below 

the modern peak of 1.6 billion tickets sold in 

2002, but in an age of cozy home theater 

setups and endless entertainment gadgets, 

studio executives consider it a triumph that 

they were able to put more butts in cinema 

seats this year than last. 

“It is a victory, ultimately,” said Don Harris, 

head of distribution at Paramount Pictures. “If 

we deliver the product as an industry that 

people want, they will want to get out there. 

Even though you can sit at home and watch 

something on your large screen in high-def, 

people want to get out.” 

Domestic revenue should finish up nearly 6 

percent from 2011’s $10.2 billion and top 

Hollywood’s previous high of $10.6 billion set 

in 2009. 

The year was led by a pair of superhero 

sagas, Disney’s “The Avengers” with $623 million 

domestically and $1.5 billion worldwide 

and the Warner Bros. Batman finale “The 

Dark Knight Rises” with $448 million domestically 

and $1.1 billion worldwide. Sony’s 

James Bond adventure “Skyfall” is closing in 

on the $1 billion mark globally, and the list of 

action and family-film blockbusters includes 

“The Hunger Games,” “The Twilight Saga: 

Breaking Dawn — Part Two,” “Ice Age: 

Continental Drift,” “Madagascar 3: Europe’s 

Most Wanted,” “The Amazing Spider-Man” 

and “Brave.” 

Before television, movies were the biggest 

thing going, with ticket sales estimated as 

high as 4 billion a year domestically in the 

1930s and ‘40s. 

Movie-going eroded steadily through the 

1970s as people stayed home with their small 

screens. The rise of videotape in the 1980s 

further cut into business, followed by DVDs in 

the ‘90s and big, cheap flat-screen TVs in 

recent years. Today’s video games, mobile 

phones and other portable devices also offer 

easy options to tramping out to a movie theater. 

It’s all been a continual drain on cinema 

business, and cynics repeatedly predict the

Ticket rush: Film fans hand Hollywood record cash 

eventual demise of movie theaters. Yet 

Hollywood fights back with new technology of 

its own, from digital 3-D to booming surround-sound 

to the clarity of images projected 

at high-frame rates, which is being tested now 

with “The Lord of the Rings” prelude “The 

Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey,” shown in 

select theaters at 48 frames a second, double 

the standard speed. 

For all of the annoyances of theaters — 

parking, pricy concessions, sitting next to 

strangers texting on their iPhones — cinemas 

still offer the biggest and best way to see a 

movie. 

“Every home has a kitchen, but you can’t 

get into a good restaurant on Saturday night,” 

said Dan Fellman, head of distribution for 

Warner Bros. “People want to escape. That’s 

the nature of society. The adult population 

just is not going to sit home seven days a 

week, even though they have technology in 

their home that’s certainly an improvement 

over what it was 10 years ago. People want to 

get out of the house, and no matter what they 

throw in the face of theatrical exhibition, it 

continues to perform at a strong level.” 

Even real-life violence at the movie theater 

didn’t turn audiences away. Some moviegoers 

thought twice about heading to the cinema 

after a gunman killed 12 people and injured 

58 at a screening of “The Dark Knight Rises” 

in Colorado last summer, but if there was any 

lull in attendance, it was slight and temporary. 

Ticket sales went on a tear for most of 

the fall. 

While domestic revenues inch upward most 

years largely because of inflation, the real 

growth areas have been overseas, where more 

and more fans are eager for the next 

Hollywood blockbuster. 

International business generally used to 

account for less than half of a studio film’s 

overall receipts. Films now often do two or 

even three times as much business overseas 

as they do domestically. Some movies that 

were duds with U.S. audiences, such as 

“Battleship” and “John Carter,” can wind up 

being $200 million hits with overseas crowds. 

Whether finishing a good year or a bad one, 

Hollywood executives always look ahead to 

better days, insisting that the next crop of 

blockbusters will be bigger than ever. The 

same goes this time as studio bosses hype 

their 2013 lineup, which includes the latest 

“Iron Man,” “Star Trek,” “Hunger Games” and 

“Thor” installments, the Superman tale “Man 

of Steel” and the second chapter in “The 

Hobbit” trilogy. 

Twelve months from now, they hope to be 

talking about another revenue record topping 

this year’s $10.8 billion.

offense. 

Kansas City, despite its 2-13 record that is 

tied with Jacksonville for worst in the league, 

had five Pro Bowlers, including RB Jamaal 

Charles, who like Peterson is coming back 

from a torn ACL. 

One other rookie, Minnesota kicker Blair 

Walsh, was chosen. Walsh has nine field goals 

of at least 50 yards, an NFL mark. 

The AFC kicker is at the other end of the 

spectrum: Cleveland’s Phil Dawson earned his 

first selection in his 14th NFL season. 

“I deliberately tried not to know,” Dawson 

said. “We wanted to watch the show with my 

kids. I had a really good idea what was going 

on, but it was a pretty priceless moment when 

we saw the name flash up on the screen. My 

kids went nuts ‘cause my wife went nuts. That 

makes these 15 years of waiting worth it.” 

Another record setter will be heading to 

Honolulu: Detroit WR Calvin Johnson. 

Johnson broke Jerry Rice’s single-season 

yards receiving record and has 1,892 yards 

with a game left. 

Falcons tight end Tony Gonzalez set the 

record for Pro Bowls at his position by being

With QBs injured, Browns sign Josh Johnson 

BEREA (AP) — The Browns 

are down to their last game 

and a third-string quarterback. 

With major change 

looming, they’re ending 

another losing season in disarray. 

With both quarterbacks 

Brandon Weeden and Colt 

McCoy missing practice 

Wednesday with right shoulder 

injuries, Thad Lewis took 

first-team snaps during 

Cleveland’s workout. Rookie 

running back Trent 

Richardson remained out 

with a sprained left ankle. 

Elevated from the practice 

squad Monday, Lewis could 

make his NFL debut in 

Pittsburgh on Sunday. If it 

happens, his backup could 

be Josh Johnson, signed as a 

free agent Wednesday. 

“If I get the start, it will be 

wonderful,” Lewis said. “I will 

be living out a childhood 

dream.” 

While the 25-year-old 

Lewis is excited, disappointed 

Browns fans are anticipating 

more impactful changes. New 

owner Jimmy Haslam and 

CEO Joe Banner have 

promised to revamp the organization. 

That could include 

the coaching staff. 

Kick returner Josh Cribbs 

knows beating Pittsburgh — 

no matter who plays quarterback 

— couldn’t hurt coach 

Pat Shurmur’s future. 

“A win means a lot for the 

city and the coaching staff as 

well,” said Cribbs, who has 

had three head coaches in 

eight years in Cleveland and 

doesn’t seem to favor more 

moves. 

“Every year you have a 

constant rebuilding process, 

not a good recipe for successful 

football,” he said. 

A new quarterback 

Sunday could come from 

sheer necessity. McCoy’s 

injury was revealed 

Wednesday, though he made 

no mention of it Sunday in 

the wake of the 34-12 loss in 

Denver. 

McCoy replaced Weeden in 

the second half against the 

Broncos and was sacked four 

times in his limited appearance. 

Shurmur said he didn’t 

know if one particular play 

caused the problem. 

“Colt came in and told us 

he was sore,” Shurmur said. 

“He came in and got treatment. 

“The injuries to Brandon 

and Trent are not as severe 

as you might have thought. 

We’ll see how they come 

back. If they are healthy and 

can go, then of course they’ll 

play. If they can’t, I have no 

problem ruling them out.” 

Shurmur also did not rule 

out McCoy, who has not 

started since sustaining a 

concussion in Pittsburgh on 

Dec. 8, 2011. 

When the Browns (5-10) 

play the Steelers (7-8), they 

will be seeking their first season 

series sweep since 1988. 

It would be a pleasant cap to 

Cleveland’s 11th season of 

10-plus losses in 14 years. 

They could be trying to do 

it with Lewis in command. He 

would be the 21st passer 

used by the Browns since 

1999. 

“Hmmm,” said Lewis when 

asked when he last started. 

“That would be college, 

(against) Wake Forest in 

2009.” 

The 25-year-old from Duke 

was on St. Louis’ practice 

squad in 2010 when 

Shurmur was a Rams assistant. 

The Browns claimed 

him on waivers in September 

2011. He has gone through 

the paces at every offensive 

position except line play on 

the scout team for two years. 

“Whatever the coach 

wants me to do,” he said. 

“Right now, my job is to take 

reps with the 1s.” 

Shurmur played Lewis 

quite a bit in exhibition 

games this past summer. He 

added that Johnson, who 

played 26 games for Tampa 

Bay over three seasons, is 

familiar with the Browns’ 

West Coast offense, but 

needs time to learn the entire 

playbook. 

Despite 2-13 record, Chiefs have 5 Pro Bowlers 

chosen for the 13th time. 

The league’s top two sackmasters, DEs 

Aldon Smith of San Francisco and J.J. Watt of 

Houston, were first-time selections. Watt has 

20 1-2 sacks, one ahead of Smith; the NFL 

record is 22 1-2. 

Other newcomers, along with Griffin, Walsh 

and Dawson, were AFC players tackle Duane 

Brown and guard Wade Smith of Houston; 

safety LaRon Landry of the Jets; kick returner 

Jacoby Jones of Baltimore; and punter Dustin 

Colquitt of Kansas City. 

For the NFC, first-timers were Giants WR 

Victor Cruz; Atlanta WR Julio Jones; Seattle 

tackle Russell Okung and center Max Unger; 

San Francisco guard Mike Iupati, linebacker 

NaVorro Bowman and safety Donte Whitner; 

Chicago cornerback Tim Jennings and defensive 

tackle Henry Melton; Washington tackle 

Trent Williams and special teamer Lorenzo 

Alexander; Minnesota fullback Jerome Felton; 

Tampa Bay DT Gerald McCoy; and New 

Orleans punter Thomas Morstead. 

Eight teams had no Pro Bowl players: 

Carolina, Philadelphia and St. Louis in the 

NFC, Tennessee, Buffalo, Jacksonville, San 

Diego and Oakland in the AFC.

Bengals better on defense 

as they head into playoffs 

CINCINNATI (AP) — The 

Bengals think they’re a better 

team — especially on defense 

— heading into the playoffs 

for the second season in a 

row. 

They finished 9-7 last season, 

earned a wild card and 

lost at Houston 31-10 in the 

first round. 

A 13-10 win in Pittsburgh 

on Sunday clinched another 

wild-card berth, only the second 

time in franchise history 

that they’ve gone to the playoffs 

in back-to-back seasons. 

They’re locked into the No. 

6 seed regardless of what they 

do on Sunday against 

Baltimore (10-5) at Paul 

Brown Stadium. 

The Bengals (9-6) said their 

playoff appearance last season 

— when quarterback 

Andy Dalton and receiver A.J. 

Green were rookies — taught 

them a lot about what it’s like 

when it’s one-and-out. 

“I think it’s helpful anytime 

you can get to the postseason 

and really see what it is about 

and just how games, how 

momentum can swing,” safety 

Chris Crocker said on 

Wednesday. “Just crazy 

things. We saw that last year. 

I think that will help guys 

going into it — kind of knowing 

what the atmosphere will 

be like.” 

Cincinnati’s limited playoff 

experience has been a detriment. 

The Bengals haven’t 

won a playoff game since 

1990. They’ve made it three 

times previously under coach 

Marvin Lewis — 2005, 2009 

and 2011 — and lost their 

opening games by 14, 10 and 

21 points. 

Going for the third time in 

four years should help them 

keep the postseason in perspective. 

Lewis pointed out 

that there was no giddiness in 

the locker room when the 

Bengals clinched a berth on 

Sunday. 

“When you’ve been beyond 

that, you realize there are bigger 

fish to fry,” Lewis said. “I 

think our group understands 

this now. Appreciate it, feel 

good about it, celebrate it, but 

realize what it took to get 

there and that it takes more, 

because now we’re going to 

pare it down again.” 

They’re encouraged by the 

way their defense has dominated 

teams during a 6-1 

streak that got them into the 

postseason. The front four has 

gotten pressure on quarterbacks 

consistently, with tackle 

Geno Atkins emerging as 

one of the NFL’s top linemen. 

Atkins leads NFL interior 

linemen with 12 1/2 sacks. 

Cincinnati has 47 sacks, one 

behind Denver for the league 

lead and one shy of the franchise 

record. The defense is

ranked No. 6 in the league 

this week in yards allowed 

and has given up 13 points or 

fewer in six of the past seven 

games. 

“Our defense is really clicking 

right now, man,” tackle 

Domata Peko said. “I love the 

way we’re playing and I love 

the energy we’re playing with. 

You have to have that chemistry, 

and it seems we’re 

building on that. Everyone’s 

been playing great.” 

The defense played its best 

game in Pittsburgh. Leon 

Hall’s interception return 

accounted for Cincinnati’s 

only touchdown. The defense 

repeatedly pushed the 

Steelers out of field goal range 

in the fourth quarter, allowing 

Cincinnati to win it with a 

field goal set up by an interception 

in the closing seconds. 

The Bengals hadn’t beaten 

the Steelers since 2009, dropping 

four in a row. They’ve 

also lost four straight to the 

Ravens and were 0-6 the past 

two seasons against their top 

AFC North rivals before the 

breakthrough win in 

Pittsburgh. 

“You think about that 

stuff,” Crocker said. “In my 

mind, we hadn’t beaten anybody 

good, so what are we 

going to do now? We really 

stepped it up. I feel good from 

that standpoint.” 

The Bengals won’t know 

their first-round opponent 

until after their game against 

Baltimore. Currently, New 

England is in line for the No. 3 

seed and would host 

Cincinnati. 

If the Patriots lose at home 

to Miami and the Ravens win 

at Paul Brown Stadium, 

Baltimore would move into 

the No. 3 spot and would host 

the Bengals in the first round 

of the playoffs. 

If the Patriots win, they 

have a chance to move up to a 

better seed depending upon 

how other games turn out. 

There’s a chance the Bengals 

could open at New England, at 

Houston or at Denver. 

Notes: The Bengals moved 

their practice on Wednesday 

to the University of 

Cincinnati’s covered practice 

field because a winter storm 

moved through the area. The 

Bengals are the most northern 

team without their own 

covered field. Last year, they 

practiced in the cold leading 

up to the playoff game in 

Houston, and Dalton got sick. 

... K Mike Nugent fully participated 

in practice. He has 

missed the past three games 

with an injured right calf. ... 

Cornerbacks Adam “Pacman” 

Jones, Terence Newman and 

Jason Allen were limited by 

hamstring injuries.

~ Stella Wilder’s daily horoscope ~ 

Born today, you are one of the most 

naturally gregarious individuals born 

under your sign; you are friendly, easygoing 

and always willing to lend a hand 

to someone in need, whether it be a 

long-deliberated act or one performed 

on the spur of the moment. You enjoy 

learning things about other people, and 

you put that knowledge to good use day 

after day. Indeed, your unique brand of 

social interaction feeds itself, and the 

more you interact with others, the more 

successful that interaction becomes — 

and so on. You are never one to hold a 

grudge, and you are almost always 

quick to forgive another’s trespass. 

When it comes to the rigorous 

requirements of daily life in the modern 

world, you may sometimes feel a bit out 

to sea, for you do not have the kind of 

brain or personality that puts a premium 

on the kind of organization and 

business acumen that is so prized by 

others. 

Also born on this date are: Marlene 

Dietrich, actress; Cokie Roberts, journalist; 

Gerard Depardieu, actor; John 

Amos, actor; Louis Pasteur, microbiologist; 

Oscar Levant, actor and musician. 

To see what is in store for you tomorrow, 

find your birthday and read the 

corresponding paragraph. Let your 

birthday star be your daily guide. 

FRIDAY, DECEMBER 28 

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — 

What lies beneath the surface is surely 

worth investigating, but certain aspects 

of it are likely to remain hidden long 

after today. 

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — 

You’re far more focused on quality than 

quantity at this time, but you mustn’t 

overlook the possibility that you could 

run out. 

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) — You 

may experience something of a scare as 

the day begins, but you mustn’t let this 

spook you while you settle down to 

work. 

ARIES (March 21-April 19) — Once 

you get started, you’re not going to 

want to stop, even for those routine 

pleasures you look forward to. Focus 

your energies. 

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — What 

you do trying to help another may actually 

work against him or her in the long 

run. You will both want to come up with 

another way. 

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — You’ll 

find yourself playing the waiting game 

— and the person with whom you are 

competing is used to lying in wait, so be 

ready! 

CANCER (June 21-July 22) — The 

same old thing isn’t likely to do it for 

you today, no matter who suggests it to 

you. You’re in the mood, rather, to reinvent 

yourself. 

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — You’re getting 

all the expected signals from someone 

with whom you’re negotiating, but 

the outcome isn’t likely to be what is 

anticipated. 

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — You’re 

at the end of something while someone 

close to you is just beginning. It’s a 

good day to meet in the middle. 

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) — Don’t 

worry about the distances you have to 

travel; what’s important is that you 

plan your trip so that you reach your 

destination. 

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — You 

may be unclear about another’s 

motives, while he or she may be in 

doubt about your methods. 

Explanations are due all around. 

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — 

It’s a good day to mount a fact-finding 

expedition of sorts today. What you 

have to find out will surely affect everyone 

involved.

Irving’s 26 points leads Cavaliers past Wizards, 87-84 

NEW YORK (AP) — Peyton 

Manning and Adrian Peterson 

want to cap their sensational 

comebacks with Super Bowl 

appearances. For now, they 

can be proud of Pro Bowl 

spots. 

So can Redskins quarterback 

Robert Griffin III, one of 

two rookies chosen 

Wednesday for the Jan. 27 

NFL all-star game. 

Manning missed all of the 

2011 season with neck and 

back problems that required 

several operations. He then 

signed with Denver as a free 

agent and has led the 

Broncos on a 10-game winning 

streak to take the AFC 

West. 

“I know there’s great players 

out there in the NFL, but 

there’s some great players on 

WASHINGTON (AP) — It’s already 

been a long season for the Cleveland 

Cavaliers and an even longer one for 

the Washington Wizards. 

On Wednesday night, the Cavaliers, 

who improved to 7-23, outlasted the 

Wizards, 87-84. 

Washington, which has lost eight 

straight, fell to a horrifying 3-23. 

Cleveland has its first two-game 

winning streak of the season. Two of 

the Cavaliers’ seven wins have come 

against the woeful Wizards. 

“I should be a lot happier than I am, 

I guess,” Cleveland coach Byron Scott 

said. “But some of the boneheaded 

mistakes that we made, some of the 

fouls, some of the things we did on the 

defensive end to allow them to have 

some of the shots that they had especially 

toward the end — we’ve just got 

to be a little bit smarter when the 

game’s on the line like that.” 

The Cavaliers’ Kyrie Irving had 26 

points — 20 in the first half. He 

missed nine of his 10 field goals 

attempts in the second half, and four 

of six free throws in the fourth quarter. 

“Oh, man, I started thinking too 

much,” Irving said. “After I missed my 

first two, I moved back on the free 

throw line a little bit, tried some different 

things. It just wouldn’t fall. It was 

frustrating. I’m glad it’s behind me 

and we got this win.” 

Tristan Thompson’s three-point 

play with 24.4 seconds remaining put 

Cleveland ahead. Irving made one of 

two free throws with 9.5 seconds left 

after Jordan Crawford and Garrett 

Temple missed jumpers for the 

Wizards. Crawford made two free 

throws with 8.5 seconds left to cut the 

lead to 86-84. Irving hit one of two, 

and Crawford missed a 3-pointer as 

time ran out. 

“We were able to sneak one out 

tonight,” said Thompson had a season-high 

15 points and 12 rebounds. 

Crawford and Emeka Okafor led the 

Wizards with 17 points. Nene had 16. 

Washington took a 79-73 lead with 

6:20 to play, but Cleveland scored 

nine straight points to take an 82-79 

lead with 3:37 left. 

The Wizards were held scoreless for 

4 1-2 minutes until Okafor hit a hook 

shot with 1:50 to play to cut the 

Cavaliers’ lead to 82-81. Irving missed 

two free throws with 1:01 to play, and 

Okafor hit one of two with 46.2 seconds 

to play for an 82-all tie. 

Washington had four turnovers in 

the last 5 minutes. 

“We turned the ball over at crucial 

this team this year that 

deserve to go,” said Manning, 

whose 12th Pro Bowl is a 

record for quarterbacks. He 

ranks fourth in league passing 

this year, has thrown 34 

touchdowns and 11 interceptions. 

Four other Broncos made 

the AFC roster: DE Elvis 

Dumervil, linebacker Von 

Miller, CB Champ Bailey and 

tackle Ryan Clady. Bailey’s 

12th appearance is a record 

for defensive backs. 

“My goal has always been 

to go out and help the team 

win and play at a high level,” 

Manning added. “Anything 

that comes along with that, 

like being honored as a Pro 

Bowl selection, is very humbling.” 

Minnesota’s Peterson tore 

up his left knee on Christmas 

Eve last year, underwent 

major surgery, then was back 

for the season opener. He’s 

gone from uncertain to 

unstoppable, running away 

with the rushing title with a 

career-high 1,898 yards and 

lifting the Vikings toward an 

NFC wild card. 

“Coming into the season 

after going through the rehab 

process, I just told myself 

that I wanted to lead my team 

to a championship and make 

sure that I contribute and do 

my part,” Peterson said. “I’ve 

been doing it.” 

Griffin is one of three rookie 

QBs who had superb debut 

seasons, along with Andrew 

Luck of Indianapolis and 

Russell Wilson of Seattle. 

Luck and Wilson weren’t 

times. We won’t commit — all of us — 

won’t commit to playing defense. We 

make too many critical mistakes 

because we’re just not alert down the 

stretch.” coach Randy Wittman said. 

“We’ve got too many guys that 

worry just about shooting the basketball 

and not about the other parts of 

the game.” 

Okafor had 10 rebounds to help 

Washington outrebound Cleveland 

51-38. 

“For the most part, we played them 

pretty well defensively, it’s just the 

turnovers,” Okafor said. “We had 20 

turnovers to their 10, so in a threepoint 

loss, there you go.” 

The Wizards broke on top 22-10 

with 4:51 to play in the first quarter, 

thanks to Nene’s 10 points. 

Cleveland’s Irving had 12 of his 20 

first-half points in the second quarter 

to help the Cavaliers grab a 45-43 

halftime lead. 

Washington started Shelvin Mack 

at the point. It was Mack’s first NBA 

start. The second-year guard had been 

cut by the Wizards at the end of training 

camp, and re-signed on Tuesday 

after a strong stint in the D-League. 

Mack was starting because 

Crawford was late to Wednesday’s 

shootaround according to a team 

voted to the Pro Bowl by players, 

coaches and fans, 

although their teams are in 

the playoffs; Griffin can get to 

the postseason if Washington 

beats Dallas on Sunday. 

“You can’t play down those 

kind of things,” Griffin said. 

“I’ve always said my whole 

football career that you don’t
