Hilda M. Hall

Continued from page 1 as possible.

This is not only a positive for the city as a whole, but a plus for those who live in the immediate area who have had to deal with the property for many years. From an improper demolition to the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) being on-site to clean up the ramifications of that demolition in 2009. It was a massive undertaking that included the removal of abandoned hazardous waste, outdoor asbestos debris piles and various medical supplies in medical waste containers.

Some 100 pounds of batteries, empty cylinders, fluorescent bulbs, two diesel tanks and 1500 gallons of diesel fuel were also among the items removed.

This information is available on the EPA website, along with information that Zeigler Environmental transported the material, and also secured all openings into the main building and former boiler house.

What remains today stands behind a high fence surrounding the property and weeds.

It’s the weeds and the inability to mow inside the property due to liability concerns that had drawn some

Northparks Association president Russ Fashner and volunteers began work to mow, weed and pick up trash at the former Piqua Hospital site on Park and Nicklin avenues Monday after receiving and signing a liability waiver form from the city.

However, through several email ire from eager volunteers who have been free to mow similar properties, discussions among city commission such as that of the vacant church on members, interim city manager Bill Murphy, Mayor Lucy Fess and FashBoone Street and Broadway.

Under direction from city leaders ner, a waiver form was drafted that at the last commission meeting law allowed the volunteers to mow and director Stacy Wall created a waiver pick up trash at the site on Monday.

A great deal of time and effort was form where the language used, “liability and environmental,” as well as put into this with Fashner stating via the potential for criminal action con- email that they’ve already received many compliments. cerned Fashner.

City firm Continued from page 1 when you think about us having almost 100 employees,” Teresa said on the responsibility the husband-wife duo feel toward their entire staff and their families compared to their modest beginnings.

“We really just want to be a good place to work,” said John, a former domestic traffic manager with Evenflo. He had asked his wife when they first started how many trucks would she like their new business to have and she replied that 25 would be good.

“I keep reminding him that 25 stopped a while back,” Teresa said with a good-natured chuckle. She noted several of their drivers have been with the company for 10 years and many for five years. Recruitment is done generally through word of mouth between drivers.

Beyond the change in the number of employees and trucks over the near dozen years they’ve been in business, fuel prices have certainly changed. When they started fuel had been about $1.25 a gallon with people thinking they were crazy for starting a trucking business at the time.

Since then they’ve seen prices as high as $5 a gallon, with trucks getting only 6-7 miles to that gallon, “We will spend more a year in fuel than we will in payroll, which is so sad,”

John said.

Fortunately, they’ve seen a bit of a break thanks to the current drop in fuel prices. Yet every mile still counts, with trucks parked in different locations, such as at The Service Company in Covington, in Lima, even down in Dayton and West Carrollton. All dispatching is handled out of the Looney Road office in Piqua.

“We’ve really been blessed with a good set of customers,” said John, along with the blessing that during the economic downturn starting in 2008 the company was still able to grow thanks to Transfreight.

“A lot of our growth has come from them,” said Teresa on an expansion of 10 trucks and 20 drivers during the last three years.

“So many small trucking companies were going out of business at that time.”

Working as a team and creating solid, loyal relationships has also helped with their growth.

“Everything is about relationships in today’s world anymore, it’s about developing relationships with the right group of people that understand what you are trying to do,” John explained. “We’re into a lot of long-term relationships. We really try to be loyal and do the right thing.”

The health and wellbeing of their drivers is another factor to their success.

A safety and driver appre-

ciation meeting is held annually where they discuss health matters, such as eating healthy and exercising when possible. Both are difficult tasks while out on the road where fast food is easily available and time to exercise is not.

Along with the safety meeting drivers and staff are treated to a brunch, followed by awards and door prizes.

“We got this room full of people, I told John it was a little overwhelming,” Teresa said of seeing all their employees in one location during the appreciation brunch. The said they they really want to get the word out to everybody on the hard work done by the faces of their company, the drivers.

“When you have 90 drivers out there who are picking up and delivering on time and they’re doing it safely and they’re courteous, that’s the kind of feedback we get, they represent us so well, this is their award,” John said, adding that with customers spread from as far as Texas, South Carolina, Oklahoma and regionally around the state of Ohio, “We don’t get a chance to get out and see all these people, the drivers are the only ones.”

It isn’t only the drivers that are the face of the company, but the trucks, too.

“We’ve really taken a plunge this year,” Teresa said of the purchase of the 24 new automatic Volvo

trucks since August. The trucks are a definite bonus for their drivers.

“They look like an RV inside,” said John, who explained how the huge investment has also been a fuel savings for this Christian company where the golden rule reigns in terms of treating others as they would want to be treated.

“We don’t push that we just make sure that the drivers know a little about what we are about,” John said about their welcoming new drivers to their team.

“Our whole company has good team work, from everybody in here clear down to drivers we couldn’t get anything like this without them,” Teresa said of the teamwork being behind their getting the U.S. Truck Load Carrier of the Year award from Transfreight.

“It takes every bit of all of us,” she said. “We’re very thankful.”

According to a press release Transfreight is a North American thirdparty logistics provider headquartered in Erlanger, Ky. They deliver customized, lean supply chain solutions for customers in varied industries and are a subsidiary of Mitsui and Co., Ltd. Transfreight honored six carriers with the U.S. Truck Load Carrier of the Year award according to ease of doing business, communication and ability to leverage value across multiple customers.

members that a tentative date of Nov. 17 has been made for the water tower inspection. This will require the water tower to be shut off on Monday, Nov. 14, allowed to drain, inspected on Thursday, then tested Friday before the tower will be filled again.

Council also voted to pay the $15,066 property insurance bill from Dawson Insurance. This will take the village’s insurance to April 2012.

Also discussed was the upcoming income tax levy.

Several public meetings were held Tuesday and Wednesday of this past week in village council chambers to inform the public of the “State of the

Village.” Approximately 35 people attended.

A copy of the “State of the Village” may be obtained from village offices during regular hours and may be available on the village website sometime next week.

The Public Relations Committee will be meeting at 7 p.m. Monday, Oct. 17, to discuss how to inform more people about why the council has asked for the increase in the income tax.

According to council member Galen Balmert, one resident suggested a police levy to help pay for the sheriff’s contract. This is an option council is considering if the income tax levy fails.

The next council meeting will be 7 p.m., Oct. 27, and council will be discussing the new sheriff ’s contract. Council has canceled the Nov. 24 and Dec. 22 meetings due to the holidays.

Utility Continued from page 1 The village received the EPA’s waste water treatment plant inspection report Thursday and according to Looker, “No surprise … unsatisfactory rating.”

Council also saw an itemized list of all of the changes to the multi-million dollar waste water treatment plant project as proposed by Brice Schmitmeyer, Fanning-Howey Engineering Group, and all of the estimated deductions totaling more than $545,000.

Council then discussed a few of the proposed deductions and questioned Looker for more information. JB Fritz asked about the change in generator tanks and lack of insulation in the new building.

Council made no motion on this subject.

Local official says lawmakers should have acted sooner

BY MELANIE YINGST Staff Writer myingst@tdnpublishing.com MIAMI COUNTY — An Ohio law banning “bath salts” and synthetic marijuana will go into effect Monday, much to the relief of local law officials.

“People aren’t going to be able to buy this stuff at the gas stations anymore, and if they do, we will be paying them a visit,” said Miami County Sheriff’s Office Chief Deputy Dave Duchak. “They (state legislators) should have passed an emergency law against this months ago instead of waiting 90 days because we’ve had a lot of calls concerning bath salts users.”

The new designer drug commonly called “bath salts” gets its name because it comes in powder or crystal form, like traditional bath salts. It is frequently labeled “not for human consumption,”

which is why it has been able to be marketed legally thus far. Users typically smoke, inject or snort it.

It is not the same thing as traditional bath salts, such as Epsom salts, which are used in bath water.

Official have said they have read reports of people trying to use Epsom salts as the designer drug with ill effects.

The drugs will no longer be legally for sale beginning Oct. 17, and the long term affects of the drug are unknown.

“There really should have been something done sooner because the impact to the health of the people that have used bath salts.

It is a public safety issue not only to themselves, but to other people as well,” he said.

Due to its accessibility — bath salts usually can be found at “head shops” or gas stations — the drug is known to produce “schizophrenic on speed” tendencies, and has led to a recent increase in law enforcement cases.

Skateboard park still needed in city

Serving Piqua since 1883

“Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof: and the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit.”

To the Editor: Well it’s finally happened — a teenager who lives here was skateboarding in the street and was hit by a car. Now he has a broken arm. But we don’t need a skateboard park.

Is it because they don’t need one also?

GOP hopeful Cain focuses on faith in The Usual Eccentric Ohio speech This proposal has a familiar ring to it

BY KANTELE FRANKO

CIRCLEVILLE (AP) — Republican Herman Cain told an Ohio audience on Thursday that he believes the outcome of the U.S. presidential race is up to God and said a race between two black candidates would show “it’s not about color.”

The former Godfather’s Pizza executive from Georgia addressed the scenario of a race between him and President Barack Obama in an interview after appearing at a Faith and Freedom Coalition rally at Ohio Christian University, about 30 miles south of Columbus.

“A contest between two black Americans would say that it’s not about color, and I’ve been saying that,” he said. “It wasn’t about color which is why President Obama got elected. It’s not about color that I am now in the top tier of the Republican nomination.”

Cain said he doesn’t believe the argument that racism is rampant in the U.S. “I would recognize it if it were,” he said. “I think that that would just further validate the fact that for the majority of the American people, it’s about content of your ideas and character, and it’s not about color.”

Cain’s status in the GOP race has risen recently, fueled by his 9-9-9 tax plan. It would replace the current tax code with a 9 percent tax on personal income and corporations, and introduce a 9 percent national sales tax.

During his speech, the only apparent reference to the 9-9-9 plan was when he mentioned to the delight of the audience Proverbs 9:9, a Bible verse about wisdom. He paraphrased it this way: “Listen. You just might learn something.” He said he believes it’s the same message voters have for elected leaders and candidates.

He said the country’s greatest strength is its ability to change to fulfill needs, and he offered a few suggestions, such as fixing the economy, rebuilding the military and creating a clear foreign policy with each foreign country.

His speech mostly focused on faith, including how it helped him get through his cancer diagnosis and treatments. He also said he prayed before deciding to run for president and believes the decision about who should run the country is in God’s hands.

Cain is not considered likely to become the GOP nominee, but in recent polls has ranked as a rival for former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, perceived as the frontrunner.

Daric and Lisa Galden of Columbus attended the rally and said Cain appeared to be genuine and relatable.

They said they wanted to know more about his tax plan, which others in the Republican field have criticized as simplistic and unworkable, but said they felt Cain had earned their votes.

“He sees and believes in the America that I see and believe in,” Daric Galden said.

Review: 'Arkham City'

DEAR ABBY: Every weekend when I do laundry — a chore I HATE — my husband has left paper, coins, cigarette lighters, etc. in the pockets

Advice of his clothing. Sometimes the items end up getting destroyed in the washing machine. Then he gets upset with me because more than once important papers have been ruined.

He says that since I’m doing the laundry I should check the pockets and remove all items before washing the clothes. I say that because I take the time to do the laundry, he should remove the items himself. Abby, who is right?

— POCKETS FULL OF TROUBLE DEAR POCKETS: You’re both right. He should check his pockets before putting his clothes into the hamper, and you should make sure there’s nothing in them before putting them into the machine. And because marriage is a partnership, how about sharing the chore of doing the laundry by alternating each week (or month)?

DEAR ABBY: Could you settle a driving disagreement I’m having with my girlfriend? When you are in traffic behind someone who has stopped and is turning left, should you also put on your turn signal to let the drivers behind you know someone is turning? I say no because you are not the one who is turning. My girlfriend says yes, so people know why the traffic has stopped.

— NOT THE ONE TURNING DEAR NOT THE ONE: Your girlfriend is well-meaning, but mistaken. You should use your turn indicator when you are making a left turn. It is not up to you — or your girlfriend — to let people know why someone up ahead has stopped, nor are you expected to.

ROCKSTEADY STUDIOS/WARNER BROS. INTERACTIVE ENTERTAINMENT/AP PHOTOS

In these video game images released by Rocksteady Studios/Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, a scene is shown from "Batman: Arkham City."

A crazier Batman adventure DERRIK J. LANG AP Entertainment Writer Rocksteady Studios has thrown everything but the Batsink into the sequel to “Batman: Arkham Asylum” — and that’s probably because the Caped Crusader has yet to invent one. Everything about the much-hyped “Batman: Arkham City” (Warner Bros., $59.99, for PC, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3) is bigger, bolder and crazier than its critically acclaimed predecessor.

Luckily, the gameplay in “Arkham City” is mostly the same as the original, though Batman has added many new moves and upgraded gadgets to his arsenal of fluid bone-crushing fighting skills and high-tech sleuthing abilities. As a big fan of “Arkham Asylum,” I was curious to see where Rocksteady would go with its innovative rendition of the Batman mythos.

The game begins with Bruce Wayne holding a press conference to denounce Arkham City, a makeshift prison that’s been erected inside an abandoned, walled-off section of Gotham City. The defiant billionaire is then himself thrown inside the big house, where he quickly dons his Dark Knight persona to deal with the supervillain population, which is much larger this time out.

Early in the story, Batman is injected with a deadly virus. He must battle against and forge alliances with his greatest adversaries to track down a cure. The game’s vivid urban terrain — five times the size of Arkham Island — means Batman has more area to cover, which he can now do more swiftly by diving and catapulting off buildings with his grappling hook.

Opening lead — eight of spades.

Some situations that appear to be an outright guess actually don’t involve a guess at all.

Today’s deal provides a case in point.

South arrives at three notrump after East has overcalled in spades. Declarer wins the opening spade lead with the ace and must then decide whether to attack clubs or diamonds first.

The only threat is East’s spades. If they become established and he gains the lead before South can score nine tricks, the contract will fail, with declarer losing a club, a diamond and three spades.

LOS ANGELES — A UCLA sleep expert described Dr. Conrad Murray’s use of a cocktail of drugs on Michael Jackson as “unethical, disturbing and beyond comprehension.”

The combination of drugs used as Jackson struggled to fall asleep on the day he died was a “recipe for disaster” and ultimately caused his death, Dr. Nader Kamangar testified Thursday.

Under questioning by Murray’s attorney, J. Michael Flanagan, the witness was asked to tell jurors what he knew about the events of June 25, 2009, the day of Jackson’s death.

“To summarize, Mr. Jackson was receiving very inappropriate therapy in a home setting, receiving very potent therapies without monitoring,” Kamangar said.

He said diazepam (Valium), lorazepam (Ativan) and midazolam (Versed) were given to the sleepless star during a 10-hour period

throughout the night and morning.

“This cocktail was a recipe for disaster,” Kamangar said.

Noting the addition of propofol (Dipravan), a powerful anesthetic used in surgeries, Flanagan asked: “Could this have caused death?”

“Absolutely,” Kamangar said. “Absolutely.”

Authorities say Murray gave Jackson a fatal dose of propofol. Murray has pleaded not guilty to involuntary manslaughter.

The witness, one of the experts who evaluated Murray’s actions for the California Medical Board, expressed dismay about the drugs Murray gave the pop star, his failure to immediately call 911 for help, and his lack of monitoring and record-keeping.

didn’t transfer from “Arkham Asylum” with all those supervillains.

The story by Paul Dini, a veteran writer from various “Batman” animated TV series, isn’t nearly as compellingly cerebral as Dini’s work on “Arkham Asylum,” which served as a riveting interactive psychological study of one of pop culture’s most fascinating superheroes.

If the dark mood of “Arkham Asylum” resembled the richness of “The Dark Knight” on the big screen, then the sheer increase of zany over-the-top antics in “Arkham City” make this adventure feel more like one of the Joel Schumacher films instead of a Christopher Nolan one. (For example, at one point in the game, Batman punches a shark. Yes, an actual shark.)

Batman’s more complex fighting moves, tricked-out new toys and expanded flight controls force a steeper learning curve at the beginning of the game, and alternating among punching, dodging, disarming, jumping and gadgeteering during Batman’s epic brawls with hordes of henchmen might prove too frustrating for more casual gamers.

Still, I can’t deny that “Arkham City” is a respectable follow-up to one of the best superhero games ever released. Much like its predecessor, “Arkham City” achieves something that Adam West, Michael Keaton, Val Kilmer, George Clooney and Christian Bale just couldn’t do, and that’s make you feel what it’s like to really be the Batman. Three-and-a-half stars out of four.

■ Contract Bridge — By Steve Becker

Sleep expert: Drugs caused Michael Jackson's death LINDA DEUTSCH AP Special Correspondent

Batfans will be pleased to find his wacky gallery of rouges spread all across Arkham City: Two-Face is holed up in an old courthouse, Penguin is nesting in a decrepit museum, the Joker is up to his old tricks in an impromptu steel mill funhouse and Mr. Freeze is chilling out inside a police forensics lab.

Several other baddies are lurking within Arkham City’s shadows, too.

Catwoman has fittingly clawed her way into the series as a playable character in four chapters that are smartly woven into the game’s main storyline. The anti-heroine’s felineinspired moves are slicker and smoother than bulky Batman’s attacks, which make for a delightful contrast that isn’t too distracting. If anything, the inclusion of Catwoman left me purring for more.

The Riddler returns in an expanded role. He’s again left mementos across Arkham City for Batman — and Catwoman — to unlock through intricate challenges.

They’re more difficult to nab this time, and the stakes are higher because Riddler has locked up several hostages in deadly traps that he seemed inspired to build after watching one too many of those “Saw” films.

I was initially leery about Riddler’s dramatic transformation from silly quizmaster to Jigsaw-like mastermind. However, his ongoing, mind-numbing pursuits provided some of the most stimulating gameplay in “Arkham City.” It’s a shame that Riddler’s puzzles — and most of the game’s other side missions — weren’t tied more closely to the game’s main narrative.

As for the plot, it seems subtly

It can be seen that if, in the actual deal, South attacks clubs initially, he will go down. West takes the club ace and returns a spade. When South eventually tries the diamond finesse, East wins and cashes his spades for a one-trick set.

If instead declarer takes the diamond finesse at trick two, the contract is made. After taking the king, East can establish his spades, but he cannot regain the lead before South makes his contract since West has no spade to lead after winning the club ace.

The question, therefore, is how should declarer know to attack diamonds rather than clubs at trick two? The solution can be arrived at by a series of logical steps.

First, South should reason that the contract cannot be made if East has both the club ace and diamond king. This possibility is therefore ex-

cluded from consideration.

Second, the contract will always succeed if West has the diamond king, regardless of which suit is broached first. So this case is also dismissed from consideration.

In that event, diamonds must be attacked at trick two in order to knock out East’s entry before his spades are established. (c)2011 King Features Syndicate Inc.

DEAR CONFLICTED: When Dorothy’s children attend their father’s wedding, it will be only a short time before Dorothy finds out who was there. While your reason for wanting to attend is perfectly logical, Dorothy isn’t thinking rationally and will probably feel abandoned all over again.

If you’re willing to put up with the drama that’s sure to follow, attend the wedding — and here’s how the rest of the scenario will play out: You will continue to be friendly with Dan and his new wife and socialize with them — and Dorothy will cut herself off and feel even more isolated, alone and angry. You have described someone who NEEDS the counseling she’s receiving, and I sincerely hope it works for her.

DEAR ABBY: Our dearest friends’ marriage fell apart four years ago.

No one had a clue they were having problems, and we were devastated.

We were like family and did everything together.

Our oldest children grew up as “siblings” and still remain the closest of friends. “Dorothy” remains deeply in love with “Dan.” Dan has just announced he’s being remarried. We have remained close to Dorothy (we’re still neighbors), but we are also friendly with Dan. Dorothy doesn’t know we’re on good terms with her ex, nor is she aware that he has invited us to his wedding.

Dan was never mean to her; he gave her everything in the divorce and continues to be a devoted father to their children.

An added note: His children appear to like the new woman in their father’s life.

Dorothy just heard about the wedding and doesn’t think any of her friends should go. We love them both and feel torn.

Dorothy is in counseling and I’m hoping it will help her move on.

I don’t want to hurt my friend, but I also want to be supportive of Dan. Do you think we should attend?

Ohio Turnpike tolls to rise BEREA (AP) — Ohio Turnpike tolls are expected to go up Jan. 1, despite an earlier proposed freeze and opposition from truckers.

Turnpike Commission Chairman Jerry Hruby has said the increase, which is about 10 percent for trucks and cars, is necessary and already in the

budget.

The previous chairman, Joseph Balog, said in June that rates should be held steady next year for users of the E-ZPass electronic toll system to satisfy truckers and give motorists a break during a tough economy, The Plain Dealer of Cleveland reported Thursday.

What’s the outlook for Social Security?

Chamber Regional Business Showcase

Will Social Security be available for you when you retire? Based on how much chatter and misinformation surrounds the subject, you may be surprised by the answer. Barring dramatic changes, Social Security will continue to provide benefits for all future retirees, including you. The real question is how much you will receive in benefits.

• A “pay as you go” program

Tips for a double-dip:

Preparing for a recession NEW YORK (AP) — With some experts predicting the economy is already slipping back into recession,now’s the time to make sure you and your family are prepared to handle another downturn.

“It’s important to understand that recession doesn’t mean a bad economy we’ve had that for years now,” said a recent report from the Economic Cycle Research Institute, which has called the last four recessions accurately. “It means an economy that keeps worsening, because it’s locked into a vicious cycle.”

Families are already feeling the pain. Recent data show they’re earning less and cutting back on spending.

So how can a family that is already hunkered down prepare for even worse times?

Start by assessing the health of your household finances and job security.Then lay out a plan to handle critical and long-term risks to each.

Each family’s response will be unique, reflecting its situation, said Patricia Seaman, senior director at the National Endowment for Financial Education. Those who fear their job is on the chopping block, for instance, may decide it’s time to move into crisis mode on the financial front before the pink slip arrives. Those who are less concerned may decide now is the time to make themselves more indispensable at work.

Here are some ideas for putting together your own plan: FINANCES Most of financial planner Chris Bixby’s clients at Key Private Bank are more aware of their financial situations now than they were three years ago, and are more conscious to avoid overspending. But he said few have cut back as much as they could have or perhaps should have.Now,he said,it’s time for a financial reality check.

In general, there are two ways to find savings when it comes to regular spending: trim the big expenses and eliminate the little ones.

For instance, take a careful look at big bills such as your insurance policies,especially if they haven’t been updated recently. Does your homeowner’s policy reflect

the current value of your house, or the bubble price?

Are you paying several insurance companies and missing out on multiple policy discounts?

Reworking your policies can save hundreds of dollars a year.

If you don’t have an emergency fund to fall back on, those savings can provide a kick-start to building one.

Such a fund should be a priority, NEFE’s Seaman said.

Households should aim to have at least six months of expenses stashed away,more if you’re fearful of a job loss, because it’s so common these days to be out of work for long periods.

Some other areas where you might be able to find savings: Housing Mortgage rates are at an all-time low and refinancing could shave hundreds off your monthly payment.Even if your credit standing is lessthan-stellar and you can’t get the lowest possible rate, you still may be able to save with a new loan. Compare rates offered by several banks.

Bank accounts More banks are adding monthly fees and service charges. Switching banks is one way to save on fees, but you might avoid some of that hassle by simply linking accounts, adding direct deposit or using bill payment services.Automatic bill payments can also help you avoid late fees.

Credit cards Annual fees are no longer rare and interest rates have climbed.Although it’s best to pay off the balance each month to avoid interest charges, if you carry a balance make sure you’re getting the best rate possible.

Sometimes, a simple phone

call to the bank that issued the card will result in a rate reduction because they want to keep your business, said NEFE’s Seaman. Also ask if the annual fee can be waived.

Monthly payment plans There are pros and cons to monthly plans. On the positive side, utilities and other service providers like heating oil companies will often allow customers to enroll in level billing plans that can reduce monthly expenses by spreading payments over the whole year. That can be especially helpful during winter months when heating and electric costs spike.

The flip side is monthly plans for gym memberships, online music services and other lower priorities. These seemingly small charges quickly add up and are wasteful if you don’t use them. Identify which can be eliminated.

Everyday spending If you’re not the type to track every penny you spend, check out personal finance management software to get a picture of where your daily dollars are going. Many banks offer links on their websites, or try a free thirdparty site like Mint.com or Yodlee.com’s MoneyCenter.

These programs will sort your spending into categories and produce charts and graphs that may surprise you spotlighting budget busters like excessive ATM fees or an over-reliance on take-out food.

Once you’ve done the work to trim where it doesn’t hurt, it might be time to take a look at some items closer to the heart.

For instance, the average household spends about $115 per month on subscription entertainment, includ-

• Life after the trust fund The only part of Social Security that is “going broke” is the trust fund. It is projected that if no changes to benefits or the tax structure occur, the trust fund will be depleted by about 2037.

The trust fund has faced challenges before. In the 1980s, changes to the tax rate and benefits eligibility were put in place in order to delay the potential depletion of the trust fund. It is possible that additional changes will be implemented at some point in the future to extend the life of the trust fund and maintain benefit levels that are close to what future retirees expect to receive.

But even if the trust fund is exhausted, benefits should continue. The Social Security Administration estimates that ongoing revenues to the program (through the FICA tax) will generate sufficient dollars to provide benefits equal to at least 75 percent of what future retirees would expect to receive based on the current structure after 2037.

• Planning ahead The ongoing uncertainty about funding for Social Security creates issues for those who are trying to plan for their needs in retirement.

While you should be able to count on some form of Social Security well into the future, it is prudent to use conservative estimates. Assume that monthly payments will be only about 75% of what you may have previously anticipated, and plan on overcoming the gap with dollars generated by personal savings. This may require you to commit more dollars toward your retirement, even though some form of Social Security will most likely be around for you when you retire.

It is important to understand just how Social Security is structured. While the system faces financial challenges due in large part to demographic trends of a large baby boomer population retiring, it is not “going broke” as many have stated.

The primary source of benefits for current retirees is the Social Security (FICA) tax paid by working Americans. This is an ongoing source of revenue for the program. Therefore, benefits will be available indefinitely assuming the FICA tax remains in place.

What concerns forecasters is that, along with ongoing tax receipts, the Social Security program has become increasingly dependent on a “trust fund” that has been building for decades.

The trust fund is a pool of money that represents the excess of tax receipts generated over the years beyond what was needed to pay current benefits. As the large baby boomer population begins to retire, the trust fund will slowly be depleted in order to fulfill all promised benefits to retirees.

Career There are steps you can take if you think your company may start cutting back staff, said Eleta Jones, associate director of the Center for Professional Development at the University of Hartford, Conn.

Solve problems “Think about the business issues your organization is dealing with,” she said. Are there ways you can help by pointing out problems that could be weighing down the company, but not registering on management’s radar? By raising the issues and offering solutions, she said, you may raise your profile and remove yourself from the list of people to be let go.

Get the boss’s attention “People assume their boss knows what they’re doing, the projects they’ve done, the things they’ve accomplished,” Jones said. That may not be the case, so when something goes well, especially if a customer is involved, make sure management is alerted.

This is particularly relevant before a performance appraisal. She advises anyone who is expecting a review to provide a summary of accomplishments before it is prepared as a way to make sure all your work is reflected in the evaluation.

Raiders coach likes Gocong Says Browns linebacker one of best at his position

BY STEVE DOERSCHUK

Canton Repository

AP PHOTO

Scott Fujita and the Cleveland Browns defense could be challenged without Joe Haden.

Wrong time to face Raiders Browns defense could be challenged without Haden

BY STEVE DOERSCHUK,

Canton Repository The timing couldn’t be worse for the Browns’ secondary.

Oakland wideout Darrius Heyward-Bey, the No. 7 overall pick of the 2009 draft, is coming out of his shell just when Browns cornerback Joe Haden, the No. 7 pick of the 2010 draft, can’t even practice.

In his last two games, Heyward-Bey has established career highs with 115 receiving yards against New England and seven catches at Houston.

In his last game, Haden suffered a sprained knee against the Titans.

Browns coach Pat Shurmur hasn’t ruled Haden out of Sunday’s game at Oakland, but knee sprains often knock players out for four to six weeks.

If Haden can’t play?

“It would be a big blow, obviously,” defensive coordinator Dick Jauron said.

“Joe has played at a very, very high level.”

If Haden can’t play, Dimitri Patterson would start at cornerback oppo-

site Sheldon Brown. They were teammates in Philadelphia for three years before Brown was traded to Cleveland in 2010. Patterson, who became an Eagles starter in 2010, joined the Browns as a free agent on Aug. 3.

Jauron said Patterson has been “outstanding” as the Browns’ No. 3 corner, facing slot receivers when opponents have three wideouts on the field. If Haden can’t play, Patterson would face an outside receiver when the Raiders have two wideouts on the field.

When there are three wideouts, he will move inside to the slot, and rookie Buster Skrine will face an outside receiver.

Heyward-Bey is Oakland’s fastest offensive player.

Speed wasn’t the reason Skrine slipped to the fifth round of the 2011 draft — he is Cleveland’s fastest defensive player.

“We’d certainly be disappointed for Joe,” Jauron said, “but Buster will be very happy to play. Buster Skrine likes to play foot-

ball. I’m really happy with his development.”

Skrine leads the Browns with six special teams tackles but has played sparingly on defense, where he does not have a tackle.

Veteran quarterback Jason Campbell is on course to pass for about 3,600 yards. Aside from Heyward-Bey, he has a noname receiving corps.

The top wideout other than Heyward-Bey has been rookie Round 5 pick Denarius Moore, who has 12 catches for 199 yards, including a 50-yard touchdown. Tight end Kevin Boss has six catches for 114 yards.

Jauron calls running back Darren McFadden, who leads the league with 519 receiving yards, “a rare talent ... very fast.”

80-yard regrets Jauron shouldered responsibility for the 80yard catch and run that turned the Tennessee game around.

The Browns had just closed to within 7-6 early in the second quarter. The

Quarterback play key

Titans set up at their own 20 after the kickoff. On first down, linebacker Scott Fujita bit on play action long enough for tight end Jared Cook to run by him.

“It wasn’t the best call,” Jauron said. “I put him in not the best situation in that down and distance.”

Cook broke to the left sideline and scored after safety Usama Young missed a tackle.

High on English Jauron feels for defensive end Marcus Benard, but acknowledges that his mortorcycle crash could have been worse: “I’m thankful he’s still with us.”

Benard was released from the hospital Thursday, two days after crashing on Interstate 71.

Auston English, who led the NFL in preseason games with four sacks, will replace Benard at Oakland.

“It’s very easy to like him ... very easy,” Jauron said of Engliish. “He applies himself every day, in every area.”

Hue Jackson is a West Coast guy with a Midwesterner’s eye for Cleveland.

He grew up in Los Angeles, played quarterback at Pacific and was a college coach at Cal and USC. He will celebrate his 46th birthday this month as head coach of the Oakland Raiders.

This week’s visitors from Ohio, though, are more than just the next team through to Jackson.

As an assistant with the Bengals and later the Ravens, he was in AFC North games against Cleveland’s three head coaches before Pat Shurmur.

He spoke about the Browns on Wednesday as if he’d been looking at them for quite a while.

Maybe he helped explain a few things for Browns fans. To wit, why would the team give a three-year, $16.8 million contract extension to Chris Gocong, a linebacker who has made just five solo tackles through four games?

“He’s a matchup nightmare,” Jackson said, “in terms of trying to get him blocked. He’s very tough for a back to block. He’s becoming one of the premier players in the league at his position.

“Gocong is playing as well as anybody at the will linebacker position.”

Like Shurmur, Jackson is a first-time head coach whose background is on offense.

Jackson has the Raiders at No. 9 in the league in total offense.

He will face the Browns’ ninth-ranked defense.

The Browns defenders who jump out at him on film are the two defensive tackles, Ahtyba Rubin and Phil Taylor, linebackers Gocong and D’Qwell Jackson, cornerback Joe Haden and safety T.J. Ward.

“Jackson,” he said, “is playing as well as any middle linebacker in football.”

Haden missed Wednesday’s practice with a sprained knee.

“I hope he doesn’t play against us,” Jackson said.

Jackson calls Gocong

“an unbelievable dogger ... him and that No. 43 (Ward) are both very explosive football players.”

Sunday’s game features two running backs who have been in the news.

Oakland’s Darren McFadden is there because he leads the NFL with 519 rushing yards.

Peyton Hillis is there because his recent sick day and contract issues dominated Browns’ byeweek talk.

Hillis says he is fired up about playing well on the same field as his former Arkansas teammate, McFadden.

Jackson claimed he hadn’t talked to McFadden about Hillis.

“Darren would probably like to talk to me about Peyton, but he doesn’t need to,” Jackson said.

“The tape talks to me. “(Hillis) is a big runner who is hard to get down. ...

I mean, he’s a beast.”

The Raiders can make quarterbacks miserable.

Defensive tackle Richard Seymour leads the league with five sacks.

The Raiders batted down seven passes Sunday against 6-foot-5 Houston quarterback Matt Schaub, who towers over Browns quarterback Colt McCoy. Jackson was Oakland’s offensive coordinator last year, when they finished 10th in the league in offense.

He isn’t trying to do both jobs now, as Shurmur is in Cleveland — Al Saunders, 64, jumped from the Ravens to Oakland this year to be Jackson’s coordinator.

Shurmur spent the previous two years as offensive coordinator of the Rams.

“Pat does a great job putting his quarterback in a system and in an environment where he can find success,” Jackson said.

Sunday, two first-year head coaches will measure their success against each other.

A win puts Shurmur at 3-2, which would be the Browns’ best record after five games since 2001.

If Jackson’s team wins, the Raiders go to 4-2, a place they haven’t been since 2002, when they landed in a Super Bowl.

OSU plays Illinois Saturday in Big Ten CHAMPAIGN, Ill. (AP) — Nathan Scheelhaase thought a little bit about what might have been had Terrelle Pryor stayed at Ohio State and been behind center for Saturday's matchup with No. 16 Illinois.

"In retrospect, that would have been cool," said Scheelhaase, the sophomore quarterback who has led the Illini to a perfect 6-0 start (2-0 Big Ten). Then he came back to reality.

"We're just focusing on who they've got," he said.

While Illinois is hoping to stay on top of the Big Ten Leaders Division, the Buckeyes (3-3, 0-2) are trying to save their season.

"It's a tough spot to be in," tight end Jake Stoneburner said. "We can't be thinking, 'Oh, we're three and three right now. The season's over.' We've still

got six games left. We have a lot to play for."

Instead of Pryor, now in the NFL, Scheelhaase's counterpart will be Braxton Miller, a true freshman who looked a lot like the real thing last week at Nebraska before his fumble gave the struggling Cornhuskers life they turned into a win.

Miller left that game with a sprained ankle but he's expected to be fine by Saturday's kickoff.

Where Miller now stands — a freshman finding his way — Scheelhaase was a year ago.

Unlike Miller, Scheelhaase had a redshirt year before he took over as a starter last season, but in any given week he was anything from amazing to awful. At Ohio State last October, he ran for 12 yards and threw for 109 in a 24-13 loss. A week later, he led the Illini to a 33-13

shocker at Penn State.

This year, Scheelhaase has run for a steady 347 yards on 94 carries, but it is his passing game that has come a long way.

Scheelhaase is 80 of 120 with just three interceptions against 10 touchdowns. He is averaging 206 yards a game, fourth among Big Ten passers.

"It's easy to tell if a quarterback's matured, if they can go to their first read and then they can go to their second, third, check down. That's what he can do," Ohio State linebacker Andrew Sweat said. "Some guys they just throw it one way and lock into one person. But he's maturing and he's learning the schematic aspect."

Postseason Glance of-47 passing for the Buckeyes. He's thrown for four touchdowns and two interceptions.

Against the Cornhuskers, Miller had 91 yards rushing and 95 more along with a touchdown before leaving the game.

"He was more comfortable out there," interim Buckeyes coach Luke Fickell said. "We made some plays so that obviously gave him an opportunity to be more comfortable, and he's continuing to grow."

Buckeyes cornerback Bradley Roby isn't all that impressed. He said Jenkins' success is a product of Illinois' scheme and Scheelhaase's ability to find him.

"That's really why he catches so many passes, because they move him around, they try to get (favorable) matchups for him against linebackers and stuff like that," Roby said.

"What I've seen so far, he's a decent receiver. But he's nothing special."

HOROSCOPE Saturday, Oct. 15, 2011 There is a good chance that events will cause you to do more traveling than normal in the near future. These multiple trips aren’t likely to be of long duration, but chances are they’ll be fun and adventurous, as well as profitable.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Rely on your first impressions, because by being such a quick thinker, your immediate ideas will likely be the best.

Companions will appreciate what you have to say.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — You probably won’t have to give much thought as to how you should go about accomplishing something new or different, because your initial plan is likely to be the best one, anyway.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Don’t reject going out with the gang tonight, because there is a strong probability you could meet a fascinating new group of people and be introduced to someone who’ll interest you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Your intuition could be trying to put you on the track of some wonderful self-improvements, so pay heed to any flashes of inspiration you might get.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Attitude is always extremely important in our lives, but more so when it comes to dealing with something complex and distasteful. Success comes from believing you can handle the rough stuff.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — Don’t think in petty terms at this time, because Lady Luck continues to hover over you, especially where your financial and commercial interests are concerned.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) — It pays to be a good listener because, not only will you pick up some interesting information, you should be able to turn it to your advantage as well.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Be doubly alert and ready to spring into action when it comes to any financial tips you get. One or more unusual opportunities could be dumped right in your lap.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — Whether you’re involved in a large or small group of people who may or may not be familiar to you, they will like what you have to say and will look to you to handle whatever is at hand.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) — Don’t waste your time conferring with those who are extremely steeped in tradition; you need something fresh in your life. Share your time with fun, resourceful friends.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Because your instincts are particularly astute, if you put your mind to it, you could conceive an activity that could turn out to be profitable for everybody involved. Give it a try.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Someone who is loaded with experience and knowledge will come to your aid and teach you how to accomplish something that you’ve previously been unable to do.

The scammer's check is and eventually fake bounces and the seller loses the wired amount.

While banks and Western branches are Union trained at spotting fake checks, these types of scams are growing increasingly sophisticated and fake checks often aren't caught for weeks.

Funds wired through Western Union or MoneyGram are irretrievable and virtually untraceable.

Help with the recipe for success Have you ever noticed the racks and stacks of colorful merchandise displayed near the check out lane of your grocery or department store? Known as "impulse" displays, they catch your attention, making you consider one last selection "on impulse."

This kind of merchandising works because it grabs your attention when you literally have your money in your hand.

Merchandising is important in real estate, too. When selling your home, choose an agent who understands the concept, and demonstrates a history of

Shari Stover Today to place your Open House Ad

merchandising homes by positing them favorably in the eye of prospective buyers.

Three ingredients produce successful merchandising: 1) an attractive product, 2) the right price, and 3) exposure to buyers. First, you must offer an attractive produce - a home in excellent condition. Your real estate agent should provide tips to make your home stand out from the pack.

You must also price your home fairly. That means it must be at, or sometimes below, fair market value. Your agent researches local market information to help you arrive at the right price.

The third ingredient - exposure to buyers - is your agent's challenge. If you offer a home in dazzling condition at the right price, you may expect an aggressive marketing plan, targeting all potential buyers, as well as other real estate agents who bring their buyers. Ask your agent about merchandising your home. It really makes a difference!
