Edison celebrating 40 years of service Editor’s Note: This is the first in a five-part series of stories highlighting Edison Community College as it celebrates its 40th year of service.

Focusing first on Edison’s history, this piece is being submitted on behalf of the College’s Board of Trustees.

PIQUA — Celebrating 40 years of service, Edison Community College was chartered to meet a demand for high-quality, affordable college education, focused on serving the residents of Darke, Miami and Shelby counties.

As has often been the case, the region was visionary in its timing, as Edison was chartered in 1973, as the first state general and technical college in

Ohio under provisions of the Ohio Revised Code.

The college was chartered without special local taxation as a two-year, public, coeducational, state-supported institution of higher learning with privileges of offering studies in the arts and sciences, technical education, and adult continuing education.

Several events were essential to the establishment of the college. On Jan. 12, 1973, the Ohio Board of Regents authorized the development of a general and technical college in the Darke, Miami and Shelby county area.

On May 18 of that year, the regents also granted authority to operate as an approved statesupported institution with the

issuance of a charter in the original college name, Edison State General and Technical College.

Prior to those occurrences, the Ohio Legislature had

appropriated $4 million dollars for constructing and equipping facilities for the permanent campus.

A 130-acre site east of Piqua was donated for the campus in December 1973 from the Hartzell-Norris Trust. Edison’s Board of Trustees selected Freytag and Freytag of Sidney as architects for the first campus building.

Following the governor’s appointment of the nine-member Board of Trustees, action was taken to assure the offering of college courses in the fall of 1973, while the permanent campus was being designed and constructed.

Agreements were signed with the Piqua Board of Education for the temporary

use of facilities at Spring Street Elementary School and the Central High School and with Wright State University for providing instruction in the lower-division general studies courses.

Under these arrangements, 309 students enrolled in 30 different courses during the first term of the 1973-1974 academic year.

Edison moved into its now familiar campus off Looney Road in 1976, and work was immediately started on a 1.5 million dollar expansion, which had been appropriated in 1975.

On Nov. 4, 1977, by legislative enactment, the college became Edison State Community See EDISON | Page 2

Habitat is more than building homes Habitat for Humanity of Miami County relaunches website to showcase diversified projects, volunteers Staff Writer broyer@civitasmedia.com

TROY — Interesting is the word William Horstman, executive director of the Habitat for Humanity of Miami County, used to describe his first year at the helm with an easy demeanor and smile earlier this week.

Not that one should misinterpret this statement as coming from someone scrubbed-face and new to the wide scope of the nonprofit. He comes to the position after previously serving on the board for seven years and some 45-plus years of business experience.

However, this is not entirely about Horstman’s first year of taking the reigns so as to try out ideas long since percolating and consisting heavily on engagement and interaction with the community but it does play a significant part.

Especially when it comes to the recent breath of fresh air given to the organization’s website and a greater emphasis on implementing social media via Twitter and Facebook to expand their outreach.

“We’re more than just building a house here and there, we’re much more than that,” said Horstman of the need to further educate the public on what Habitat for Humanity of Miami County provides by showcasing not only of their house building for low to moderate income individuals but much more —and well beyond former POTUS and Habitat proponent since the early 1980s

Jimmy Carter.

When considering Habitat for Humanity over-all, it is a combination of institutions, from a construction company —given they do build houses— to family services when seeking just the right partner family for a dwelling, to a financial institute as the holder of mortgages, and even retailer with the Habitat for Humanity ReStores offering new and gently used home furnishings, building materials, and appliances at a fraction of the retail price.

In fact, the retail store has been so successful over the last decade they are currently seeking a new location, having outgrown their current residence.

Which leads us back to the website, as Horstman states it is an attempt to establish a new image, and is part of a path belonging to a strategic plan. A road map, if you will, the long-time businessman has been preaching to the board but could not implement until taking the position of executive director in January. His vision not entirely seen or understood until now, and one that consists of PEG —Plan, Execute and Grow— a three-year strategy to rebuild the affiliate by establishing where they’ve been, where they currently stand, and where they want to be.

“That’s the nuts and bolts,” said Horstman, who is using his extensive background in leadership, management and consultancy to eradicate the oft-times erroneous belief that a strategic plan must be hundreds of pages long, complicated, and thus destined to be found in a binder on the shelf.

Horstman’s plan consists of a single page.

“It needs to be a one-page statement of what you believe in, what you are going to shoot for,” said Horstman. “And with that, go for it.”

Go for it they did, thanks to help of the many volunteers that make up Habitat for Humanity of Miami County, from partner families to business leaders and church members. These individuals play an imperative part in the nonprofit’s success as one cannot construct 44 houses over 20 years or build wheelchair ramps alone.

Most individuals know Habitat for Humanity of Miami County for their home building, but an Aug. 1 relaunch of their website showcases the nonprofit provides much more than a home for low to moderate income families. Visit hfhmco.org for more information.

The latter one of the many diversified projects by Habitat for Humanity of Miami County thanks to their “A Brush with Kindness” or ABWK team.

When it comes to the website and other social media avenues, Horstman says three individuals make up their marketing committee, per se. The old site had not been updated for several years, with the new establishing and reiterating engagement the executive director believes in, along with that bit of fresh air. “(They are) great people,” said Horstman of the nonprofit’s volunteers and while he knew what he wanted to do in regards to the website and has already received positive feedback since its August 1 relaunch, “Knowing about it, knowing the benefits of it and then actually pulling it off and doing it —is two different things.”

Why not take a look? The many activities, volunteers, staff, photo galleries, their international presence and more is only a mouse click away. Visit hfhmco.org today.

Lehmann to receive governor’s award for excellence SIDNEY — The Ohio Academy of Science has selected 58 Ohio schools and 420 teachers to receive Governor’s Thomas Edison Awards for Excellence in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) Education for their accomplishments during the 2012-2013 school year.

Each will receive special Governor’s Award certificates.

Science teachers from Lehman Catholic who are receiving the award are Tracy Hall, Hall Amanda Duritsch and Sister Ginny Scherer.

This is the 24th consecutive year that teachers at Lehman Catholic have received the Governor’s Award.

Of the 58 schools recognized, seven schools were from the Catholic Archdiocese of Cincinnati: McNicholas High School and Guardian Angels School in Cincinnati; Carroll High School and Bishop Leibold E & W Campuses, all of Dayton; Alter High School in Kettering; St. Peter School in Huber Heights; and Lehman Catholic (Sidney).

Lehman was the only school

in Shelby County to receive the award.

The Ohio Academy of Science initiated this educational partnership program in cooperation with The Office of the Governor and The Technology Division of The Ohio Department of Development to recognize schools and teachers who stimulate student scientific and technological research and extend STEM education opportunities beyond traditional classroom activities.

The Technology Division of The Ohio Department of Development has supported this program since 1985 by grants to The Ohio Academy of Science.

“These awardee schools are engaged in project-based curricula, the central element of any STEM education program,” said Dr. Lynn E. Elfner, the Academy’s CEO. “Receiving a Governor’s Thomas Edison Award for Excellence sends a clear signal that these schools and teachers value student-originated, inquiry-based science and technology education as envisioned for the Next-Generation

Science Education Standards being developed nationally.

Whole new worlds of opportunities open up to students when they complete research or technological design projects and have them assessed by the professional STEM community.”

To receive the award, schools must (1) conduct a local science fair with 20 or more student participants; (2) qualify one or more of these students for one of the Academy’s 16 district Duritsch science days; (3) have students participate in at least one more youth science opportunities beyond the classroom such as State Science Day, visits to museums, mentorship programs and extended field trips; and, (4) convince external reviewers from business and industry, government and academia how and to what extent the school’s program met the Academy’s definition of STEM education.

“We go above and beyond the scope of the criteria for the award,” said Sister Ginny Scherer, Chair of the Lehman Science Department. “Besides our annual science fair, we have a

variety of extracurricular science experiences for our students, including competitive teams for Science Olympiad, T.E.A.M.S. (Tests of Engineering Aptitude, Mathematics, and Science), and Envirothon.”

Over the last several years, Lehman has also been involved in the Ohio Energy Project.

Through the Ohio Energy Project, high school students teach younger students about alternative sources of energy through hands-on learning.

“Not only do we have the extracurricular science experiences, but our curriculum includes AP and Dual Enrollment science classes. Our science program is very broad. Essentially, we do it all,” said Scherer, who has been a guiding force behind the Lehman Science Department. “None of this happens without a lot of caring teachers and volunteers.

Many people from the community and Lehman Alumni are also involved in Lehman science activities, serving as coaches for the Science Olympiad team and helping to judge projects at the school science fair,” Scherer

stated.

Scherer and her students have also spent many hours compiling information about the various activities of the Lehman Science Department to send to the award committee.

The judges expect reports, photographs, competition results, and other documentation to accompany each year’s application.

Thirty-five professionals - broadly representing STEM employers from business and industry, government, Scherer and academia – evaluate the applications in a blind review process.

“While the importance of STEM education is growing in recognition, Lehman Catholic students have enjoyed that advantage for many years,” Lehman Catholic President Mike Barhorst stated. “Because so many of our graduates pursue advanced degrees in medicine, engineering, technology and mathematics, we recognized the importance of STEM curriculum long before it became a leading educational movement.”

The Ohio Academy of Science strives to be the leading organiza-

tion in Ohio dedicated to fostering curiosity, discovery, and innovation among Ohio’s students.

The Academy aims to unite all who value education, science, engineering, technology, and their applications to benefit society. As defined by The Ohio Academy of Science, STEM education is both the mastery and integration of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics for all PreK-12 students.

It incorporates scientific inquiry and technological design through student-focused, projectbased curricula to develop skills of communication, teamwork/ collaboration, creativity/innovation, critical thinking, and problem solving.

Consistently listed as one of Ohio’s top academic high schools, Lehman Catholic offers students the opportunity to take Advanced Placement Classes as well as the opportunity to earn college credit without ever leaving the school’s campus through the Dual Enrollment Program.

Enrollment information is available by contacting Principal Denise Stauffer.

Scant foreign support for US strikes on Syria Lara Jakes

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama is poised to become the first U.S. leader in three decades to attack a foreign nation without broad international support or in direct defense of Americans.

Not since 1983, when President Ronald Reagan ordered an invasion of the Caribbean island of Grenada, has the U.S. been so alone in pursing major lethal military action beyond a few attacks responding to strikes or threats against its citizens.

It’s a policy turnabout for Obama, a Democrat who took office promising to limit U.S. military intervention and, as a candidate, said the president “does not have power under the Constitution to unilaterally authorize a military attack in a situation that does not involve stopping an actual or imminent threat to the nation.”

But over the last year Obama has warned Syrian President Bashar Assad that his government’s use of chemical weapons in its two-year civil war would be a “red line” that would provoke a strong U.S. response.

So far, only France has indicated it would join a U.S. strike on Syria.

Without widespread backing from allies, “the nature of the threat to the American national security has to be very, very clear,” said retired Army Brig. Gen. Charles Brower, an international studies professor at Virginia Military Institute in Lexington, Va. “It’s the urgency of that threat that would justify the exploitation of that power as commander in chief — you have to make a very, very strong case for the clear and gathering danger argument to be able to go so aggressively,” Brower said Friday.

Obama is expected to launch what officials have described as a limited strike — probably with Tomahawk cruise missiles — against Assad’s forces.

Two days after the suspected chemicals weapons attack in Damascus suburbs, Obama

told CNN, “If the U.S. goes in and attacks another country without a U.N. mandate and without clear evidence that can be presented, then there are questions in terms of whether international law supports it; do we have the coalition to make it work?” He said: “Those are considerations that we have to take into account.”

Lawmakers briefed on the plans have indicated an attack is all but certain and Obama advisers said the president was prepared to strike unilaterally, though France is prepared to join the effort.

The U.S. does not have United Nations support to strike Syria, and U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has urged restraint.

“Diplomacy should be given a chance and peace given a chance,” he said Thursday.

Expected support from Britain, a key ally, evaporated as Parliament rejected a vote Thursday endorsing military action in Syria. And diplomats with the 22-nation Arab League said the organization does not support military action without U.N. consent, an action that Russia would almost certainly block. The diplomats spoke anonymously because of rules preventing them from being identified.

France has said it is ready to commit forces to an operation in Syria because the use of chemical weapons cannot go unpunished.

“Presidents always need to be prepared to go at it alone,” said Rudy deLeon, who was a senior Defense Department official in the Clinton administration.

“The uninhibited use of the chemical weapons is out there, and that’s a real problem,” said deLeon, now senior vice president of security and international policy at the liberalleaning Center for American Progress in Washington. “It can’t be ignored, and it certainly creates a dilemma. I think (Obama) had to make the red-line comment, and so Syria has acted in a very irresponsible way.”

The nearly nine-year war in Iraq that began in 2003, which Obama termed “dumb” because it was based on false

intelligence, has encouraged global skittishness about Western military intervention in the Mideast. “There’s no doubt that the intelligence on Iraq is still on everybody’s mind,” deLeon said.

Both Republican George H.W. Bush and Democrat Bill Clinton had U.N. approval for nearly all of their attacks on Iraq years earlier. Even in the 2003 invasion, which was ordered by Republican George W. Bush, 48 nations supported the military campaign as a so-called coalition of the willing. Four nations — the U.S., Britain, Australia and Poland — participated in the invasion.

The U.S. has relied on NATO at least three times to give it broad foreign support for military missions: in bombarding Bosnia in 1994 and 1995, attacking Kosovo with airstrikes in 1999 and invading Afghanistan in 2001.

Only a few times has the U.S. acted unilaterally — and only then to respond to attacks or direct threats against Americans.

In 1986, Reagan joined ordered airstrikes on Libya to punish then-leader Moammar Gadhafi for the bombing of a Berlin dance club that killed two U.S soldiers and wounded 79 other Americans.

Three years later, George H.W. Bush invaded Panama after dictator Manuel Noriega declared war on the U.S. when his drug-trafficking regime was slapped with crippling American sanctions. The invasion began four days after a U.S. Marine was killed in a shooting in Panama City.

Clinton ordered a missile strike against Iraq in 1993 as payback for an assassination against the elder Bush.

And in 1998, Clinton attacked al-Qaida bases in Sudan and Afghanistan to retaliate against U.S. Embassy bombings in Kenya and Tanzania that killed more than 200 people.

Obama approved the 2011 raid that killed Osama bin Laden, who had been considered a threat potentially going back to the 1996 bombing of the Khobar Towers in Saudi Arabia that killed 19 U.S. troops living there.

Additionally, the U.S. has launched hundreds of deadly drone strikes on suspected al-Qaida havens, mostly in Pakistan, Afghanistan and Yemen during the presidencies of Obama and George W. Bush.

All other major U.S. military attacks since the 1983 Grenada invasion have been sanctioned by the United Nations. That includes the 2011 missile strikes that Obama ordered against Libya as part of a coalition to protect that nation’s citizens by enforcing a no-fly zone against Gadhafi forces.

Even the Grenada invasion had some international support. Six Caribbean island countries asked for U.S. intervention, which the Reagan administration said was legal under the charter of the Organization of American States. But the invasion was roundly criticized by Britain, Canada and the U.N. Making the case Friday for the strikes, Secretary of State John Kerry noted that Turkey, France and Australia have condemned the suspected chemical attacks and said “we are not alone in our will to do something about it and to act.”

“As previous storms in history have gathered, when unspeakable crimes were within our power to stop them, we have been warned against the temptations of looking the other way,” Kerry said.

“History is full of leaders who have warned against inaction, indifference and especially against silence when it mattered most.”

He added: “It matters here if nothing is done. It matters if the world speaks out in condemnation and then nothing happens.”

Some lawmakers in Obama’s party hedged in supporting an attack with little foreign backup.

Senate Armed Services chairman Carl Levin, a Democrat, persisted in calling for weapons and other lethal aid to be given to vetted Syrian rebel groups to help fight Assad’s forces. He said that should happen “while we seek international support” for limited strikes.

employed.

In addition to increasing its own facilities, the college transferred 20 acres of land to the Piqua Board of Education for construction of a new high school, further contributing to the modern educational complex that exists today, consisting of Edison State Community

College, Piqua Junior and High Schools, and the Upper Valley Career Center.

Within six years of its establishment, the college had enrolled a total of 2,300 credit and non-credit students.

The addition of several programs increased the areas of technical study to 19.

In keeping with the college’s commitment to provide better education opportunities to the community it serves, a permanent Darke County Campus in Greenville was opened in the spring of 1980, and continues to operate, though it has been renovated to ensure that technology and other services are comparable to those on the Piqua campus.

The most recent addition to the Piqua campus was when the Emerson Regional Center of Excellence was dedicated on May 3, 2007.

The Center is LEED certified and now hosts classes, functions, and an area dedicated to the College’s namesake, Thomas Alva Edison.

Edison’s currently serves more than 4,000 unduplicated students per year, who choose from

more than 30 technical fields of study, baccalaureate transfer programs, developmental course work, and Business and Industry offerings that provide on-site training, career preparation, and personal enrichment.

With so much to offer and with ongoing processes that assure consistent quality, Edison continues to have a sustained, significant impact in the region.

Since the doors opened in 1973, Edison has served more than 71,000 students, boasts 9,796 graduates and is excited to be awarding its 10,000th credential during this 40th anniversary year.

State Briefs Army Corps leader visits aging Ohio village levee ZOAR (AP) — The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ commanding general said a visit to an Ohio village has put its troubled, decadesold levee on his radar.

Lt. Gen. Thomas Bostick visited Zoar this week as a guest of U.S. Rep. Bob Gibbs, according to The Times-Reporter newspaper in the nearby Dover/New Philadelphia area. Gibbs, a Republican from Lakeville, has advocated for the historic village and leads a House subcommittee with oversight of Bostick’s agency.

A flood in 2008 exposed problems with the levee, and the corps has spent about $4.5 million on it and is studying options for its future. That could mean repairs, moving the village to higher ground or allowing it to flood.

Rodney Cremeans, project manager for the Huntington District, told Bostick the timeline for the corps’ study is aggressive, with a target date around March 2016.

Zoar, which was founded in 1817 by religious separatists, was named by The National Trust for Historic Preservation on its 2012 list of America’s 11 Most Endangered Historic Places. Supporters saw that as a step toward saving the nearly 200-year-old community.

Residents also have had help from Ohio’s two U.S. senators, Republican Rob Portman and Democrat Sherrod Brown, who pushed legislation to help preserve the village’s historic integrity.

“This town has made its name known at all levels,” Bostick said. “It’s a credit to people locally.”

Cremeans said residents’ frustration is understandable.

“They have the looming uncertainty of what’s going to happen here,” Cremeans said.

Bostick was joined by another high-ranking corps official, regional division commander Brig. Gen. Margaret Burcham, who took a similar tour in Zoar last summer.

“It’s great to have them here,” Mayor Larry Bell said. “Now he understands on a more personal level the situation here.”

Program created to help drug-addicted babies, mothers COLUMBUS (AP) — Ohio is starting a new program to help babies who are born addicted to drugs.

It’s the latest effort by officials to address prescription drug abuse and opiate addiction in the state.

Overdose drug deaths have surpassed car crashes as the leading cause of accidental death in Ohio.

About 200 mothers and babies are expected to get treatment and intervention through the $4.2 million program.

Caring for the drugaddicted newborns and mothers, who are often on Medicaid, can be costly to the system. Babies can often experience drug withdrawal, respiratory complications, feeding difficulties and sometimes seizures.

Gov. John Kasich’s administration says the three-year project is estimated to reduce infant hospital stays by 30 percent.

The state will pick two or three providers for the project, which starts next year.

Mom finds teenager’s ashes in Wal-Mart bag AMELIA (AP) — An Ohio woman who found her teenage son’s cremated remains in a plastic shopping bag inside an urn is talking about how she’s upset with the Kentucky funeral home that handled the ashes.

Nancy Bronner, of Amelia in southwestern Ohio, said she was disgusted to open her son’s urn after his death last September only to find his ashes tied up in a WalMart bag.

“I don’t care who you are; it’s not right to put a human person’s ashes in a Wal-Mart bag,” Bronner told WCPO-TV. “It is still disrespectful,” said Bronner, who is considering filing a complaint with state authorities. “You don’t do that to a parent who has lost their child.

You don’t do that to anyone.”

Her son, T.J. Mitchell, died at age 17 of a heart condition.

Bob McDaniel of McDaniel Funeral Home in Dry Ridge, Ky., said that the family had asked him to divide the ashes in four containers that didn’t seal and had no bags, so he used what he had.

He said he cut the bags so they didn’t show any store name or logo. Bronner says it was recognizable as a Wal-Mart bag.

Thomas Mitchell, T.J.’s father and Bronner’s exhusband, defended the funeral home’s decision and said he still keeps his son’s ashes in the original bag he was given.

“Was anything done

maliciously? No,” he said.

“It may have been a split second lack of judgment, but they were also looking out for our best interest because the containers we provided did not seal.”

But T.J.’s mom feels differently.

Bronner said she had her son’s ashes transferred into a clear plastic bag at another funeral home. She has contacted the Kentucky attorney general’s office and the Board of Embalmers and Funeral Directors to file complaints.

Doctor charged with sex assault of patients AKRON (AP) — A northeast Ohio pain clinic doctor accused of sexually assaulting some of his female patients has been indicted on 23 counts.

The Summit County prosecutor alleges 59-yearold James Bressi of Hudson assaulted multiple people, sometimes forcefully, and took advantage of patients impaired by illness or age.

The indictment charges a single count of rape, 11 felony counts of gross sexual imposition and 11 misdemeanor counts of sexual imposition.

Bressi left the pain clinic in Stow in March. His medical license has been suspended.

The Akron Beacon Journal reports eight former patients have sued him.

The newspaper said records from the lawsuit and the state medical board show Bressi has denied any wrongdoing. A message was left Friday for Bressi’s attorney.

Bressi’s arraignment date hasn’t been set.

Ohio policeman working as guard kills armed man CLEVELAND (AP) — Cleveland police say an officer from another department fatally shot a man in an altercation at an apartment complex while working as a private security guard.

Police say the shooting happened Thursday night when the guard responded to a disturbance in a hallway where he found a man and woman fighting. Police say the man aimed a gun and refused to drop it, and the officer fired.

Cleveland police are investigating the shooting.

The identity of the 30-yearold man who died at the scene wasn’t immediately released.

The guard works as a police officer in Geneva on the Lake.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Despite 75 years of federal marijuana prohibition, the Justice Department said Thursday that states can let people use the drug, license people to grow it and even allow adults to stroll into stores and buy it — as long as the weed is kept away from kids, the black market and federal property.

In a sweeping new policy statement prompted by pot legalization votes in Washington and Colorado last fall, the department gave the green light to states to adopt tight regulatory schemes to oversee the medical and recreational marijuana industries burgeoning across the country.

The action, welcomed by supporters of legalization, could set the stage for more states to legalize marijuana. Alaska is scheduled to vote on the question next year, and a few other states plan similar votes in 2016.

The policy change embraces what Justice Department officials called a “trust but verify” approach between the federal government and states that enact recreational drug use.

In a memo to all 94 U.S. attorneys’ offices around the country, Deputy Attorney General James Cole said the federal government expects that states and local governments authorizing “marijuanarelated conduct” will implement strong and effective regulatory and enforcement systems that address the threat those state laws could pose to public health and safety.

“If state enforcement efforts are not sufficiently robust … the federal government may seek to challenge the regulatory structure itself,” the memo stated.

The U.S. attorney in Colorado, John Walsh, said he will continue to focus on whether Colorado’s system has the resources and tools necessary to protect key federal public safety interests.

Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper said the state is working to improve education and prevention efforts directed at young people and on enforcement tools to prevent access to marijuana by those under age 21. Colorado also is determined to keep marijuana businesses from being fronts for criminal enterprises or other illegal activity, he said, and the state is committed to preventing the export of marijuana while also enhancing efforts to keep state roads safe from impaired drivers.

Washington Gov. Jay Inslee also laid out guidelines for marijuana entrepreneurs.

“If you don’t sell this product to children, if you keep violent crime away from your business, if you pay your taxes and you don’t use this as a front for illicit activity, we’re going to be able to move forward,” Inslee said.

Under the new federal policy, the government’s top investigative priorities range from preventing the distribution of marijuana to minors to preventing sales revenue from going to criminal enterprises, gangs and cartels and preventing the diversion of marijuana outside of states where it is legal.

Other top-priority enforcement areas include stopping state-authorized marijuana activity from being used as a cover for trafficking other illegal drugs and preventing violence and the use of firearms in the cultivation and distribution of marijuana.

The top areas also include preventing drugged driving, preventing marijuana cultivation and possession on federal property.

The Justice Department memo says it will take a broad view of the federal priorities. For example, in preventing the distribution of marijuana to minors, enforcement could take place when marijuana trafficking takes place near an area associated with minors, or when marijuana is marketed in an appealing manner to minors or diverted to minors.

Following the votes in Colorado and Washington last year, Attorney General Eric Holder launched a review of marijuana enforcement policy that included an examination of the two states. The issue was whether they should be blocked from operating marijuana markets on the grounds that actively regulating an illegal substance conflicts with federal drug law that bans it.

Peter Bensinger, a former head of the Drug Enforcement Administration, said the conflict between federal and state law is clear and can’t be reconciled. Federal law is paramount, and Holder is “not only abandoning the law, he’s breaking the law.

He’s not only shirking his duty, he’s not living up to his oath of office,” Bensinger said.

Last December, President Barack Obama said it doesn’t make sense for the federal government to go after recreational drug users in a state that has legalized marijuana. Last week, the White House said that prosecution of drug traffickers remains an important priority.

Fall Movies Preview: Worlds to be immersed in

True Tales For “12 Years a Slave” (Oct. 18), director Steve McQueen drew from Solomon Northup’s 1853 autobiography about his

horrifying odyssey as a free black man with a family in upstate New York kidnapped and sold into slavery in 1841. With undiminished dignity, Chiwetel Ejiofor (“Dirty Pretty Things,” ”Kinky Boots”) plays Northup as he’s led from plantation to plantation.

McQueen tells the story straightforwardly, often in long takes, submerging the audience in the world of slavery. Ejiofor says McQueen aimed to tell Northop’s story literally, without embellishment. “In doing that, it creates its own intensity,” says the actor.

“I remember having conversations about if one can capture — even for a moment for an audience — what any of these things might have felt like, might have tasted like, might have really been like, then I think it’s a really powerful piece of filmmaking,” says Ejiofor.

Even for a season known for prestigious biopics, there’s a plethora of films based on true stories: Nicole Kidman plays Grace Kelly (“Grace of Monaco,” Nov. 27); Benedict Cumberbatch plays WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange (“The Fifth Estate,” Oct. 18); Idris Elba plays Nelson Mandela (“Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom,” Nov. 29); and Matthew McConaughey plays an industrious HIVinfected man (“Dallas Buyers Club,” Nov. 1).

There’s also Hanks as Walt Disney (“Saving Mr. Banks,” Dec. 20); Naomi Watts as Princess Diana (“Diana,” Nov. 1); Ralph Fiennes as Charles Dickens (“The Invisible Woman,” Dec. 25); Daniel Radcliffe as Allen Ginsburg (“Kill Your Darlings,” Oct. 18); Hemsworth as Formula One driver James Hunt (Ron Howard’s “Rush,” Sept.

27); and Channing Tatum

as Olympic wrestling champ Mark Schultz (Bennett Miller’s “Foxcatcher,” Dec. 20).

Cinema Stars Like McQueen, Alfonso Cuaron (“Children of Men,” ”Y Tu Mama Tambien”) is known for his predilection for uninterrupted takes. He opens “Gravity” (Oct. 4) with an unbroken 17-minute shot, the kind that bravura craftsmanship cinephiles will drool over.

In the film, Sandra Bullock and Clooney play astronauts tethered together after they’re left stranded in space. The film is, in part, a chamber piece between two characters, floating in the black abyss. It’s also a playground for Cuaron and his cinematographer Emmanuel Lubezki to experiment with 3-D effects and zero-gravity camera movement that isn’t beholden to up or down.

To keep the audience adrift in space, Cuaron resisted cutting.

“It’s the idea of trying to create a moment of truthfulness in which the camera happens to be there just to witness, and respecting that moment in real time,” says Cuaron. “In this film, we felt it was going to bring the added value of the immersive element.”

Many other top-flight filmmakers will be showing their craftsmanship this fall, including Martin Scorsese, who’ll release his “The Wolf of Wall Street” (Nov. 15), a story of the decadence of modern finance starring Leonardo DiCaprio that should rival that of the actor’s last film, “The Great Gatsby.”

The Coen brothers have “Inside Llewyn Davis,” (Dec. 20), a film about a folk musician struggling in early 1960s Greenwich Village. Ridley Scott will

release “The Counselor” (Oct. 25), a dark Mexican border thriller from a script

by Cormac McCarthy.

“Nebraska” (Nov. 22) is Alexander Payne’s return to his native Midwest, a black-and-white father-son road trip. Spike Lee has his remake of Chan-wook Park’s “Oldboy” (Nov. 27).

More fanciful will be Ben Stiller’s “The Secret Life of Walter Mitty” (Dec. 25), an adaption of James Thurber’s short story; and Spike Jonze’s “Her” (Dec. 18), a futuristic romance starring Joaquin Phoenix.

Family Fissures To create a realistic impression of the Westons, the Oklahoma family of “August: Osage County,” Wells congregated his cast — picked to feel like a family — at an old Osage County home.

“The cast lived in a complex of small town homes together throughout the shoot,” says Wells, the producer of “ER” and “Shameless,” making his second feature film following 2010’s “The Company Men.” ”It was a ways from town and from home.

People didn’t return to the trailers often. We were just in the house, living as a family and rehearsing.”

The cast even started adopting similar physical gestures and facial expressions to match their fictional parents, Wells says. Streep’s three daughters (Roberts, Juliette Lewis and Julianne Nicholson) aped her mannerisms to lend a familial truthfulness.

Other tales of family, albeit of very different sorts, this fall include “Prisoners” (Sept. 20) a thriller in which Hugh Jackman and Terrence Howard play fathers whose daughters go missing. In “Out of the

Furnace,” Christian Bale and Casey Affleck star as brothers separated when one is lured into a gang while in prison. In Jason Reitman’s “Labor Day” (Dec. 25), Kate Winslet plays a mother who, with her 13-year-old son, encounter an escaped convict.

Awards Attention Many of these films will naturally enter the awards circuit and the months-long handicapping leading up to the Oscars. It was only months ago that Russell went through that gauntlet with “Silver Linings Playbook,” which received eight Academy Awards nominations, winning one for Lawrence.

An instinctive filmmaker (“There’s an immediacy when it comes from the gut,” he says), Russell escaped the frenzy by jumping — quicker than he ever had between films — into “American Hustle” (Dec. 25). The film, which stars Bale, Lawrence, Bradley Cooper and Amy Adams, is a stylish story about the FBI Abscam operation and a cast of corrupt characters operating in the ’70s recession-era Northeast.

“It’s about the world of these people who are jawdropping to me,” says Russell. “You look at them, and you’re like: Oh my God. Who are these people? . They’re messed up and human, but they’re fighting to survive.”

Russell can again expect the prestige of a release in the heart of awards season.

But the aura of the season, he says, ultimately means little.

“The film has to prove itself,” says Russell. “Let the proof be in the pudding.”

NEW YORK (AP) — Tom Hanks didn’t know where the cameras were.

“Captain Phillips,” a based-on-a-true-story tale about a cargo ship taken

by Somali pirates, was Hanks’ first time working with Paul Greengrass, the “United 93” and “Bourne Identity” director known for his visceral, documentarylike filmmaking. Hanks, who plays the titular captain in a performance sure to be hailed as one of his best, had been warned by Matt Damon about the chaos of Greengrass’s unblocked, naturalistic approach.

But Hanks, after one particularly chaotic take, asked his director: “Are you going to get that little session over by the maps?”

“They’d say: ‘No, we got that,’” recalls a still perplexed Hanks. “When?

When did you get that?”

“Captain Phillips” (out Oct. 11) is only one way moviegoers this fall will be fully, often staggeringly immersed in worlds as varied as slavery-era Louisiana (“12 Years a Slave”), 1970s Massachusetts conmen (“American Hustle”) and outer space, among the detritus of a space station torn apart by a storm of debris (“Gravity”).

The movies, perhaps more than any other art form, have the ability to transport — a capacity to carry away — that’s on full display this fall.

“We shot this in the real world: the real engine rooms, the real decks,” says Hanks. “They’ll say: How did you make that movie where that ship was out in the middle of the ocean?

Well, we got on a ship and we went out to the middle of the ocean and we shot it there. Extraordinary how that happens.”

Soon, the fall movie season will unofficially commence, the superheroes (mostly) falling from theaters like autumn leaves.

After a summer of blockbuster gluttony, Hollywood will, as if penance for its binging, trot out its more serious and ambitious fare.

George Clooney — this fall directing (“The Monuments Men”), producing (“August: Osage County”) and acting (“Gravity”) — will put down stakes.

There’s some hope that

after a knock-about summer heavy with city-destroying tumult and some spectacular flops, that a degree of levity will return to the multiplexes. (That is, until the ever-expanding Oscar horse race commences in earnest.)

Last fall, after all, showed that good, adult-oriented movies could still draw crowds. A varied best-picture field, from “Lincoln” to “Life of Pi,” made more than $2 billion at the box office worldwide even before the Academy Awards.

This autumn promises no less a mix of both aspirational filmmaking and mainstream attractions. As if her fans needed notice, Jennifer Lawrence will return not just with “Silver Linings Playbook” director David O. Russell in “American Hustle,” but also as Katniss Everdeen in “The Hunger Games: Catching Fire” (Nov. 22).

A quite different fervor will greet Will Ferrell’s “Anchorman: The Legend Continues” (Dec. 20), the long-in-coming sequel.

There will be other sequels, too, including Chris Hemsworth in “Thor: the Dark World” (Nov. 8) and Peter Jackson’s high-frame rate “The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug” (Dec. 13). As the CIA analyst of the best-selling Tom Clancy books, Chris Pine will try to jumpstart a new franchise in “Jack Ryan” (Dec. 25).

But other types of powerhouses will compete with action spectacle. John Wells’ adaptation of Tracy Letts’ Pulitzer Prize-winning play, “August: Osage County,” features an ensemble cast topped by the tantalizing duo of Meryl Streep and Julia Roberts as mother and daughter.

“As a moviegoer, I would much prefer that films were spread more evenly over the year,” Wells says. “But realistically, we’ve now programmed everyone to expect this when these kind of films are going to be there.

Not unlike a certain fruit or vegetable that’s in season at certain times of the year, you kind of anticipate it and look forward to it.”

It’s picking time.

U.S. economy grew at 2.5 percent rate in spring AP Economics Writer

WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. economy grew at a 2.5 percent annual rate from April through June, much faster than previously estimated. The steep revision was largely because U.S. companies exported more goods and imports declined.

The Commerce Department said second-quarter growth was sharply higher than the initial 1.7 percent rate it reported last month. And the growth this spring was more than double the 1.1 percent rate from January through March.

The improvement in the trade deficit helped offset a weaker government spending.

Economists expect growth will stay at an

annual rate of around 2.5 percent in the second half of the year, helped by steady job gains and less drag from federal spending cuts. Still, some say higher interest rates might restrain the economy’s expansion in the second half.

Rates could rise even further if the Federal Reserve decides to reduce its $85 billion a month in bond purchases at its September meeting. The Fed will consider the stronger secondquarter growth when making a decision next month.

The bond purchases have helped keep long-term borrowing rates low.

Paul Ashworth, chief U.S. economist at Capital Economics, said stronger growth in the second quarter “should give Fed officials more confidence that the recovery is gathering

steam as the fiscal drag begins to fade.”

He said the Fed is now more likely to slow the bond purchases in September, although that decision depends heavily on the August employment report. The government will release the employment report next week.

Ashworth forecast that growth in the current JulySeptember quarter was likely to come in around 2.5 percent as well with the potential for even stronger growth in the OctoberDecember quarter. But he said the forecast assumes the Obama administration and Congress reach a deal to fund the government before it hits its $16.7 trillion borrowing limit cap in mid-October.

The government’s estimates of economic expansion measure changes in

the gross domestic product, the broadest gauge of the economy. GDP measures the output of all goods and services produced in the United States.

The revision was made after the trade deficit narrowed sharply in June — information that wasn’t available to government analysts produced their first estimate for secondquarter growth. The additional information left trade neutral in the second quarter, instead of subtracting 0.8 percentage points from growth.

Government spending shrank an annual rate of 0.9 percent in the second quarter, much worse than the 0.4 percent drop initially estimated. Spending by the federal government shrank at a 1.6 percent annual rate. State and local governments cut at a 0.5

percent rate.

Two key areas of the economy — housing and business investment — remained strong in the revision to second-quarter growth.

Housing construction grew at an annual rate of 12.9 percent, the fourth consecutive quarter of double-digit growth.

Business investment on structures was revised up to at 16.1 percent rate, although spending on equipment was revised a bit lower.

Consumer spending, which accounts for 70 percent of economic activity, grew by a 1.8 percent rate in the second quarter.

That’s unchanged from the initial estimate but down from a 2.3 percent growth rate in the first quarter.

Many economists said a

key signal of the economy’s health in the second half of 2013 will come from Friday’s report on consumer spending in July.

Consumer spending held up in June. But rising interest rates might have caused it to slow in July.

Long-term rates have risen since Chairman Ben Bernanke said in June that the Federal Reserve could begin trimming its bond purchases later this year if the overall economy and the job market kept improving.

Many economists think the Fed will begin slowing its monthly bond purchases to $70 billion or $75 billion.

Others think it will delay any pullback in bond buying to await more data on how the economy is faring in the second half of the year.

Piqua wins season opener against Rogers

The Covington junior football team defeated Milton-Union in a scrimmage 1-0.

It was a good team effort from everyone.

Lightning shuts down game with 7:41 remaining

n JH Roaders sweep matches

TOLEDO — It took a little while to get going, but once they did, the Piqua football team rolled to a 41-6 lead over Rogers in the fourth quarter when the game was stopped with 7:41 remaining due to lightning.

“That’s the thing,” Piqua football coach Bill Nees said. “You always hope you are ready, but you are never sure until you get in those situations.”

It was two big plays that swung the game Piqua’s way for good late in the first quarter.

Piqua had taken a 7-0 lead when Dan Monnin ran nine yards for a score and Caleb Vallieu’s kick made it 7-0.

“It felt real good,” Monnin said after the touchdown run.

But, Rogers struck back with a 92-yard kick return by Michael Moore.

Piqua blocked the PAT to keep a 7-6 lead.

“We just lost our contain,” Nees said. “That can’t happen. But, we have a lot of young guys on the kick coverage team. They will learn from that. We kicked to them the rest of the night and did pretty well.”

It was still 7-6 when Piqua linebacker Hayden Hall laid out for an interception.

“I just turned and the ball was right there,” Hall said.

Piqua’s Trent Yeomans, 6, is knocked off his feet after gaining an Indian first down.

Monnin found Noah Lyman across the middle for a 34-yard TD pass and Vallieu’s kick made it 14-0.

“It was a perfect call,” Monnin said. “And the safety bit on it just like we wanted and Noah made a nice run after the catch.”

It was exactly what Nees wanted to see.

“We flipped things with those two plays,” he said.

“That was huge.”

The score remaining 14-6 at the half after Piqua was stopped inside the five in the final min-

ute.

“I was really surprised we didn’t get in there,” Nees said.

But, it was all Indians in the second half.

“The offensive line really got after it,” Monnin said. “I think everything started clicking.”

Darien Tipps-Clemons scored on a 12-yard run and Trent Yeomans hauled in an 11-yard TD pass from Monnin.

“I think we just settled down in the second half,” Yeomans said. “The line was doing a nice job and this was a great way to

start things.

Yeomans added a 41-yard TD run and Tate Honeycutt hauled in a 55-yard TD pass down the left sideline after Monnin hit him perfectly in stride.

Yeomans finished with a 125 yards on 15 carries, while Monnin completed eight of 16 passes for 146 yards, “Our backs ran hard,” Nees said. “I thought we did play much better in the second half.”

In a penalty-plagued game, Piqua’s defense shined.

Rogers had 17 penalties for 125 yards, while Piqua had 11 penalties for 110 yards.

Derrick Gullett had a pick to give Piqua a short field for Yeomans TD catch and recovered a fumble in the first half, while Dom Stone blocked a punt.

“We have worked so hard,” Hall said. “This is my senior year and it was huge to get started like this.”

And Nees, whose team will host Kings on Friday, got exactly what he wanted to see.

Buccs split tri Piqua plays at Sidney ARCANUM — The Tuesday.

CINCINNATI (AP) — A few smooth minutes on the field left Andy Dalton in a good mood.

Dalton completed his only pass and led the Bengals to a touchdown in his only drive — one that took four minutes to finish — and the Cincinnati Bengals ended the preseason with a 27-10 victory over the Indianapolis Colts on Thursday night.

The third-year quarterback wanted a crisp drive to finish the preseason. He got it.

"We did what we wanted to do," Dalton said of the seven-play drive.

"We drove down and scored — had some good runs mixed in there and some conversions on passes. We did what we wanted the first offense to do."

Cincinnati (3-1) has a few decisions left before starting the season, none bigger than picking Dalton's backup.

Josh Johnson followed Dalton for the second straight game and had a solid showing. He led the Bengals to a touchdown and a field goal in three possessions before half-

CHICAGO (AP) — Brian Hoyer started by connecting with Josh Gordon on a 45-yard pass on the first play from scrimmage and ended the game with a comeback.

In between, things were a bit choppy.

Hoyer threw for 307 yards and came on down the stretch for the Browns after Jordan Palmer dominated the first half for the Bears, leading Cleveland to an 18-16 victory over Chicago in the preseason finale on Thursday night.

Hoyer was intercepted twice. But he also led the Browns (3-1) on a 76-yard touchdown drive that made it a one-point game in the fourth quarter.

"I don't care if it is the fourth preseason game of the year or the last game of the year," he said.

"When you're out there, you're out there to win, it doesn't matter who is out there, you play the game to win, you don't just play to play."

Punter Spencer Lanning kicked a 40-yard field goal with just over three minutes left following a fumble by Harvey Unga to make it 18-16.

Robbie Gould then missed a 57-yarder wide right with just over a minute left, and the Bears (2-2) lost after leading most of the way.

Signed two weeks ago after third-stringer Matt Blanchard broke a knuckle on his left, nonthrowing hand, Palmer made the most of his opportunity with Jay Cutler and Josh McCown sitting out.

Palmer, the brother of Arizona QB Carson Palmer, helped the Bears build a 10-3 halftime lead, completing 11 of 17 passes for 111 yards before giving way to Trent Edwards.

Palmer led the Bears to a field goal on their first possession after Demontre Hurst intercepted Hoyer and connected with Joe Anderson on a 5-yard touchdown early in the

Not bad, considering he thought his playing days were over.

That changed when he got the call from the Bears, and now, he might have to cancel a trip to Europe next week with his wife.

"We've been putting it off for the past couple years. And I would love to cancel that trip," he said.

But it was the Browns who finished the preseason on a winning note, with both teams resting their top players.

The Bears had said they would do just that, and wide receiver Brandon Marshall wasn't even at the stadium. He had an excused absence.

Marshall also voiced frustration on Tuesday about his recovery from offseason hip surgery and missed practice on Wednesday.

He is expected to be ready for the opener against Cincinnati, which is the first game of the Marc Trestman era.

The Browns didn't play Brandon Weeden, Trent Richardson or Joe Thomas, among others.

With backup quarterback Jason Campbell out with flu-like symptoms, Hoyer got the call for the Browns and completed 24 of 35 passes.

His second interception — by Sherrick McManis — led to a 44-yard field goal by Gould that increased Chicago's lead to

All-Pro receiver A.J. Green, who missed the first three weeks of camp with a bruised knee, played the series and drew an interference penalty from Josh Gordy in the end zone, setting up Giovani Bernard's 1-yard run.

Receiver Brandon Tate made more of an impact as a kick returner. Tate's 51-yard kickoff return set up the touchdown. Tate also had a 75-yard punt return for a touchdown in the previous preseason game at Dallas.

Both teams had reserves get hurt.

Colts inside linebacker Kavell Conner and offensive tackle Emmett Cleary were treated for ankle injuries but returned. Receiver David Reed left with a concussion. Cornerback Daxton Swanson pulled a hamstring and didn't return. Bengals linebacker Emmanuel Lamur dislocated his right shoulder in the first quarter and was taken off the field on a cart. Guard Mike Pollak suffered a knee injury, but coach Marvin Lewis said it wasn't serious.

touchdown run.

The Colts (2-2) rested most of their starters, including quarterback Andrew Luck. He and Dalton joked with each other on the field before the game.

"One of the goals is to come out as healthy as you can and we did," coach Chuck Pagano said.

Matt Hasselbeck started for Indianapolis and led a 12-play drive against most of the Bengals' starters. Adam Vinatieri kicked a 43-yard field goal to complete it.

Hasselbeck played two series and went 5 of 9 for 49 yards.

Vinatieri also was wide left on a 52-yard attempt.

Indianapolis' starting defense hadn't allowed a touchdown the past two games. With the play-itsafe approach on Thursday, the results were less pleasing.

"We didn't play very well at all," linebacker Pat Angerer said. "But we'll play better."

The Bengals' starters moved the ball easily against a Colts defense of mostly backups during their one series on the field.

time.

Johnson scrambled twice for 38 yards on a touchdown drive that culminated in his 3-yard pass to Marvin Jones, showing his main advantage over John Skelton in the competition for the backup job.

Overall, Johnson was 7 of 13 for 67 yards with three sacks.

"I feel good," Johnson said. "I feel I've improved weekly on everything I've been asked to do and we've been able to get results on the field. We've been able to put scoring drives together, finish drives.

"But you never know.

All you can do is put your best foot forward."

Skelton, who was behind from the start of the competition to replace Bruce Gradkowski because he'd never run a West Coast offense, played the second half and was 6 of 10 for 99 yards with one touchdown drive.

The Bengals played most of their starters on offense and defense for one series only. Dalton's brief appearance ended in Giovani Bernard's 1-yard

16-9 early in the fourth.

Hoyer then led the Browns on the go-ahead touchdown drive, finishing with a 14-yard TD pass to Dan Gronkowski with just under 7 minutes left.

The Browns went for two, and the pass got broken up, preserving a 16-15 lead for the Bears.

Cleveland went ahead on Lanning's 40-yarder after Unga fumbled and L.J. Fort made the recovery. Lanning was handling field goals after Shayne Graham injured his back in warmups, keeping him out of the game.

"I told him after he made that kick, you just never know what you're going to have to do when you come to work every day," coach Rob Chudzinski said. "He responded really well."

Gordon started for Cleveland and caught two passes for 77 yards.

The Browns want to keep him sharp, since he was suspended for the first two regular-season games for violating NFL's drug policy.

David Nelson made his first appearance since he tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee in last year's opener with Buffalo, catching four passes for 54 yards. He signed a one-year deal with Cleveland.

Brandon Jackson, trying to solidify his spot as the No. 2 running back, had just 5 yards on five attempts.

The Browns are thin at the position with Dion Lewis (surgically repaired left leg) and Montario Hardesty (leg) on injured reserve.

While Palmer looked sharp in the early going for Chicago, Edwards threw for 135 yards in the second half.

He led Chicago to the 3 on the first drive of the third quarter, only to settle for a field goal, and had some bad luck on an interception that JamesMichael Johnson returned 23 yards for a touchdown on Chicago's next possession, making it 13-9.

The ball bounced off the hands of Chicago's Fendi Onobun.

Michael Ford, vying for the third running back spot with Armando Allen, ran for 48 yards on nine carries. Allen, who's been limited by a hamstring injury, had 39 yards on 10 attempts.

The Bears held out rookie Jonathan Bostic, who's been starting at middle linebacker with D.J. Williams injured. And Trestman also all but confirmed that first-round pick Kyle Long and fifthrounder Jordan Mills will start at right guard and right tackle after sitting them on Thursday.

"We just feel that both Kyle and Jordan have really played well and practiced well," Trestman said.

"Going into next week unless both change it looks like they'll be there."

Tooth Fairy inflation: Price of a tooth nears $4 Joseph Pisani AP Business Writer

NEW YORK (AP) — Days of finding a quarter under your pillow are long gone.

The Tooth Fairy no longer leaves loose change.

Kids this year are getting an average of $3.70 per lost tooth, a 23 percent jump over last year’s rate of $3.

And that’s a 42 percent spike from the $2.60 per tooth that the Tooth Fairy gave in 2011, according to a new survey by payment processor Visa Inc., released Friday with an update of the company’s Tooth

Fairy personal finance app.

Part of the reason for the sharp rise: Parents don’t want their kids to be the ones at the playground who received the lowest amount.

“A kid who got a quarter would wonder why their tooth was worth less than the kid who got $5,” says Kit Yarrow, a consumer psychologist and professor at Golden Gate University.

To avoid that, Brian and Brittany Klems asked friends and coworkers what they were giving their kids.

The Klems, who have three daughters and live in Cincinnati, settled on giving their six-year-old daughter Ella $5 for the first tooth that fell out, and $1 for any others.

They say that $5 was enough without going overboard.

They didn’t want other

families to think they were giving too much.

Confused about what to give?

Ask other parents what they’re giving, says Jason Alderman, a senior director of financial education at Visa.

That can at least get you in the ballpark of what your kids’ friends are getting, he says.

Alderman gave his two kids $1 a tooth.

“I think we were on the cheap side,” he says.

Other families gave about $5 a tooth.

One family gave their kid an antique typewriter. “I have no idea how they got that to fit under the pillow,” he laughs.
