Nation’s jobless rate dips slightly
A Cost Savings Plan Benefiting Our Entire Piqua Community
After waiting for over a decade it’s our turn. The State of Ohio has earmarked more than $25 million for Piqua to build three new schools serving grades pre-kindergarten through grade 6. That money will go to other communities if Piqua turns it down. The state’s share amounts to 47 percent of the project cost — our matching share will be funded by bonds. This is a great time to be in the bond market — interest rates are at record lows. Construction costs are also low. New schools will protect property values. Continuing to use buildings nearly a century old is not a wise use of public funds. New buildings will save tax dollars and put money where it belongs, in the classroom. This proposal is timely — $55 million in new construction when Piqua needs jobs. After years of delay, the former Piqua Memorial Hospital site will be used for a productive purpose — a grades 4-6 school — that will enhance our community’s image. When completed, this project guarantees that every Piqua child learns in an up-to-date school. Good facilities help teachers do their job well. A 40-member citizens committee helped shape the plan and our school board voted unanimously in favor. This is a cost savings plan that will benefit the entire Piqua Community.

The nation added 80,000 jobs. That was fewer than the 100,000 that economists expected, but it was the 13th consecutive month of job gains. Fears of a new recession that loomed over the economy this summer have receded. The unemployment rate nudged down, to 9 percent from 9.1 in September. “Those are pretty good signs,” said Michael Hanson, senior economist at Bank of America. “We’re

A beautiful sunset over Covington on Friday night also brought the curtain down on the Buccs’ football season as they fell to Coldwater 31-7 in football playoff action. See story on Page 15.
Train Continued from page 1 management could not come to an agreement. Hershey said his attorney advised him not to enter into a contract to lease the train to the mall due to liability concerns. Hershey said the family had a $1 million insurance policy that they keep year round. He said he was concerned that the mall’s policy may not protect his family should an accident with a child occur. For Henthorn, this is the end of an era for the mall. “It doesn’t really help my sales,” she said. “It’s not like I have to have it, but I want to have it. There are adults who rode the train as a kid who are now bringing their kids to ride it. It’s sort of a gener-
Continued from page 1 hanging in there.” No one looking at Friday’s report from the Labor Department saw a quick end to the high unemployment that has plagued the nation for three years. The jobless rate has been 9 percent or higher for all but two months since June 2009. The government uses a survey of mostly large companies and government agencies to determine how many jobs were added or lost each month. It uses a separate survey of households to determine the unemployment rate. The household survey picked up a much bigger job gain — 277,000 — in October, and an average of

coming into the Daily Call with concerns about the note being “libelous” toward the Deal family. “I have not had any reaction from the note being passed out,” Henthorn said. She also said she was “hoping if anyone who knows Paul would try to convince him” to bring the train ride back for another season. So for this holiday season, the area where the train ride stood will host a 22-foot tree and holiday decorations. The mall will still feature Santa visits, as well. And in the near future, Henthorn said, mall owners are looking into installing a soft sculptured playland for kids, similar to play areas at The Mall at Fairfield Commons in Beavercreek and Polaris Mall in Columbus.
335,000 per month for the last three months. The household survey picks up hiring by companies of all sizes, including small businesses. The household survey is more volatile and less comprehensive than the other survey, and is not followed as closely by economists. Still, job growth in the household survey has not been this strong for three months since the end of 2006. People counting themselves self-employed increased by 200,000 in October, accounting for most of the increase, but it is difficult for economists to explain the three-month trend. Economists pointed out other bright spots in the
unemployment report: Average hourly wages rose 5 cents a week, to $23.19. More pay for workers means they have more spending power in the economy. Many businesses are waiting for customer demand to pick up before they hire in big numbers

By becoming an Army AllAmerican band member, Duncan joins an elite group. Only 125 high school band members among the millions in the United States are selected each year. Band members are chosen not just because they excel in music, but because they embody the same values of the U.S. Army — values like loyalty and respect, according to a news release.

The Hershey and Deal families are asking quite a bit more than Henthorn offered, stating that they also did research and priced the train ride according to what they determined it was worth compared to a new train and track going for $25,000 by a Florida amusement ride manufacturer. During last week’s Trick or Treat at the mall, Henthorn had mall employees pass out copies of a note she had written letting families know the train would not be back at the mall.

A number of years ago, Hershey said, a family on their way from Canada to Florida for Christmas got stuck at the mall during a snowstorm. “I know they spent $40 on train rides the two days they were there. They also stayed at the Inn and shopped. Since then they’ve traveled to Piqua so their grandkids could ride the train.” Henthorn said if Deal called her a month from now that she would make arrangements to get the train back in the mall. “Let me rent it or let me buy it,” she said, noting that she did research on a

Local sports teams make big splash in The Usual Eccentric tournaments It’s open season on t is the first weekend of November and all around the area, “water cooler” talk is about sports, specifically football. No doubt there is much excitement from watching our local football teams compete in the Ohio playoff process, no matter how flawed, but that opinion is for another time. I would like to take an opportunity to remind folks that there is another sport heading deep into its own tournament season. Volleyball teams still in competition are wrapping up regional tournaments this weekend. Many of you may not realize it, but we are fortunate to live in a high school volleyball mecca. Lehman Catholic has made an impressive seven trips to the state tournament, earning three state titles and three state runners-up. They are the defending state champions in Division IV. The Lady Cavs are competing today in Tipp City for another trip to the state tournament next weekend. Meanwhile, the Lady Vikings from Miami MIKE ULLERY East are knocking on Chief Photographer the door, hoping for a trip to state. Our own Piqua Lady Indians won both a GWOC North and a third-straight sectional title this season. As teams from our immediate area work their way through the annual tournament, their toughest competition almost always comes from our next-door neighbors to the north. Versailles, Marion Local, Ft. Loramie, Russia and St. Henry are among teams always in the running for a title. Anyone who has the opinion that watching area high school volleyball can’t be exciting or enjoyable, maybe because it is a girls sport or just because it is not football, really should take the time to come out an watch a match. I find myself in awe of these young ladies’ athletic ability. The gracefulness of an outside hitter, hanging in the air as she soars above the net to smash the ball with explosive force for a kill is at least as exciting as a high-flying slam dunk by college and NBA basketball players. What is most awe-inspiring is watching the ladies as the action moves close to the net. I have always been fascinated by reaction time. That is the time that it takes a human being, after seeing or sensing a “danger” to have the information processed by their brain, send the message to the muscles, and then to actually accomplish the action. These young athletes continually make astounding plays that require top-notch reaction time and then moving their bodies and hands into position to save, or score, a point for their team. I am not taking anything away from athletes competing in other sports, boys or girls, but I have formed the opinion that with the probable exception of hockey and soccer goal-keepers, a volleyball player must have the quickest reaction time and most accurate hands of any athlete. The season is coming to a close, but some exciting volleyball action remains. Come on out today to watch either the Lehman Cavaliers as they take on neighboring St. Henry in Division IV in Tipp City or you can head down to Kettering Fairmont to watch the Lady Vikings of Miami East as they battle Middletown Fenwick for the Division III regional title. The winners of these matches will advance to next weekend’s OHSAA state volleyball tournament at the Nutter Center at Wright State University. Even if you are not directly involved with one of the schools, come out and enjoy a volleyball match. I’ll bet you won’t be disappointed.

Kiwanians appreciate Halloween event aid To the Editor: The Kiwanis Club of Piqua would like to thank everyone who participated in and supported this year’s 55th annual Halloween Parade. The parade was started by Joe Thoma Jr. in 1956, and has been an event that Piqua families look forward to each year. We had a wonderful turnout of participants again this year and were amazed at the creative and unique costumes. Congratulations to each of the participants and to the winners. Special thanks go out to the following for their help in making this such a great success again this year: Unity Na-
tional Bank for donating the grand prize bicycles, The city of Piqua, Piqua Police Department, Piqua Fire Department, Piqua Daily Call, Fifth Third Bank, Teresa Anderson of High Street School, Jeanie Bates, YMCA, Piqua High School Key Club, Piqua Junior High School Builders Club, Pride of Piqua Marching Band, Kiwanians and their family members, along with Cecil Stewart, Carol Van Culin and Elaine Sullenberger. We look forward to next year’s event. —Dwayne Cooper Doug Francony Co-Chairs 2011 Kiwanis Halloween Parade
To the Editor: Vote “yes” on Issue 2 and Issue 3. Issue 3 is basically about keeping “Obamacare” socialized medicine out of Ohio. We all know what a disaster that would be. Yes on Issue 3 will effectively put the brakes on this liberal, compulsory mandate. Issue 2 is only about public worker unions, not private unions. Issue 2 will give taxpayers a seat at the bargaining table. After all, taxpayers are the ones who are really paying the bills, with money they produce in the private sector. Private sector workers contend with competition, market share and many other factors just to survive. Public workers don’t have these stresses — they basically have a noncompetitive monopoly. Past leaders who would support Issue 2: Franklin D. Roosevelt, Democrat and 32nd president of the United States. He promoted many social reforms including Social Security, wage-and-hour laws, public works, assistance to farmers, economic stimulation and protections for labor unions. Yet, he believed public workers should not be unionized, reasoning the citizenry would despise and mistrust government. The late George Meany, Democrat and longtime AFL-CIO union president was a bold advocate of workers’ rights, yet he also was against public worker unions. The late Steve Jobs, cofounder of Apple and electronic devices innovator, said in an interview teacher unions were the number one thing ruining public schools. The list goes on and on. These leaders were against public worker unions altogether. Senate Bill 5 doesn’t outlaw public unions, but merely asks government employees to chip in at least 15 percent toward their own health insurance and 10 percent toward their own retirement. This is reasonable reform to respect taxpayers, restore fairness and to help effect fiscal responsibility. Without it, raising taxes will be necessary, or police, firefighters, teachers and other public workers’ jobs will be cut. Neither option is acceptable. “Yes” on Issue 2 only scratches the surface of what needs to be done to work toward state and local fiscal accountability. Will we continue down the path toward fiscal catastrophe or reverse directions to effect positive change? The vote will be a barometer of Ohioans’ seriousness to get out-of-control government spending in check. Issue 2 detractors’ viewpoint is someone else needs to take a cut, not them. However, public workers are paid 43 percent more on average than comparable private workers — they can afford it. Vote “yes” on Issues 2 and 3 on Nov. 8. —Louis Jacomet Piqua

Working smoke detectors give early warning to save lives DEAR ABBY: Twenty-four years ago, the International Association of Fire Chiefs (IAFC) and Energizer spotted a disturbing trend. Many fatalities were taking place in homes without working smoke alarms. In response, the “Change Your Clock Change Your Battery” campaign was developed to remind people to test and change their smoke alarm batteries each fall when they turn back their clocks at the end of daylight saving time. According to the National Fire Protection Association, while 96 percent of American homes have at least one smoke alarm, 19 percent do not have at least one that works! The reason? Missing or dead batteries. Please remind your readers that when they set their clocks back on Nov. 6, to use the extra hour they gain to change and test the batteries in their smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors. It is recommended that smoke alarms be replaced every 10 years and be a mix of both ionization and photoelectric alarms to warn against all types of fires. They are the best defense against the devastating effects of a home fire. Thank you, Abby, for once again joining me in spreading this lifesaving message. — CHIEF AL GILLESPIE, IAFC PRESIDENT

Advice primed and detailed the boat and painted cattails on the sides. I bought seats, hardware, even made a full camouflage duck blind on my sewing machine. My boyfriend is elated and even more excited that I intend to hunt with him. His buddy is not. He has backed out of the hunting trips and refuses to talk to me about the issue. Should I tell my boyfriend I have changed my mind and save their friendship, or go with him and reward myself for all my hard work? — AMBUSHED IN MINNESOTA DEAR AMBUSHED: Do not back out. The person your boyfriend’s buddy should be talking to isn’t you, it’s your boyfriend. His behavior is selfish and childish. A compromise might be in order, but it won’t happen unless “the boys” arrange it between themselves. So stay out of the line of fire. DEAR ABBY: There are people in my life who do not bring me joy — just drama and petty backstabbing. How do I tactfully remove myself from an individual or group of people? I run into them all the time at business events and restaurants in our small city. — AT ARM’S LENGTH IN IOWA
DEAR AL: Just call me Old Faithful — I’m glad to help. Readers, this year the IAFC is encouraging families — especially moms who understand what it means to be a family’s first responder when it comes to family emergencies — to visit www.facebook.com/energizerbunny and take the pledge to change the batteries in your smoke alarms when changing your clocks. No one should be hurt or lose a life because of a non-working smoke alarm, yet nearly 3,000 people die each year in home fires. A working smoke alarm will provide extra precious seconds for you and your family to get out safely.
DEAR AT ARM’S LENGTH: Unless you’re planning on moving to a cave in the Himalayas, there is no way you can completely avoid them. When you see them be friendly, speak in generalities, give them as little information as possible and move on when they start to gossip. It works like a charm.

In this image released by Disney Channel, Zack Montana, left, performs as singer Cody Simpson looks on during “The Next Big Thing,” a singing competition series geared toward fostering young talent.
TV talent shows scout young singers; new Bieber? LYNN ELBER AP Television Writer LOS ANGELES — Hey, kids, are you falling short of your pop stardom dreams? With so many TV talent shows after you, there’s scant excuse for adolescence reaching without a record deal. Among the options is “The X Factor,” Simon Cowell’s extravaganza, with the door open to contestants age 12 and up. The finalists picked last week include more than a dozen solo and group singers under age 18 — but they face competition from wily adult contenders, including a 60year-old. “The Voice” (minimum age: 16) and “American Idol” (15) also pit the young against the old, or at least older, this being youth-obsessed television. “America’s Got Talent” has a no-ages-barred policy. There are, however, level playing fields for tender talent. The Hub channel’s “Majors & Minors” is exclusively for aspiring pop stars from 10 to 16, while Disney Channel’s “Next Big Thing” (aka “N.B.T.,” also on Radio Disney), accepts those ages 13 to 17. “Majors & Minors,” airing 7 p.m. EST Sunday, tracks 12 youngsters through a season of work and competition with the help of pop singers including Brandy, Avril Lavigne, will.i.am and Jennifer Hudson. Colbie Caillat is this week’s mentor, with Adam Lambert set for Nov. 13. No contestant is eliminated but one “star-in-
the-making,” as the show puts it, gets a record and concert deal with the RCA-Jive Label Group. The winner will be picked in January by the show’s producers, vocal coaches and others who work with the youngsters. “I feel like some of the other shows that are pure competition shows are very dismissive,” said executive producer Evan Bogart. “We think all 12 kids are very talented. … For us, it’s a shame to send them home after a week or two weeks. Let’s give them the benefit of all they can learn.” Brandy, a child performer who starred as a teenager on TV’s “Moesha,” was attracted to “Majors & Minors” for that reason. She’s a recurring mentor. “I started very young and always wished I could get in touch with famous people that inspired me and already experienced things I hadn’t and I wanted to know about,” she said. “I thought it would be great to be a part of these young artists’ lives and give back to them what I’ve learned in the industry.” The 32-year-old also is struck by the generational difference. “The talent is insane now,” Brandy said, and has a wealth of ways to get attention. “There were fewer opportunities when I was coming up. There wasn’t ‘American Idol’ or ‘Majors & Minors.’ ‘Star Search’ was the only show out there. You had to grind and grind to be discovered,” she said. Talent and the ability to handle the show’s chal-
lenges were key in choosing the contestants, Bogart said. And there was another important element. “I wasn’t going to cast anyone who was overtrained. I didn’t want to spend three weeks ‘delearning’ anybody,” he said, adding, “We saw plenty of ‘pageantry’ kids, those who were told every step to take for every note.” Instead, he wanted youngsters who “were primed for someone like myself to step in and say, ‘I know what you’re going through and I want to help you,’” said Bogart, a songwriter (including Rihanna’s “S.O.S.”) and music executive. “N.B.T.” takes a more traditional approach, with its compact field of five contestants gradually whittled down by viewer voting over 10 weeks. The winner will be announced during a Dec. 7 live concert. The contest, with episodes debuting Fridays, offers a “great way to showcase brand-new talent and expose them to our audience, who’s looking for other artists to relate to and get excited about,” said Kelly Edwards, Radio Disney’s executive director of music and programming. “N.B.T.” launched on Radio Disney four years
ago and branched out to TV in its second year. It gives singers a potential entry point to the Disney apparatus that has successfully marketed young sensations including the Jonas Brothers, Miley Cyrus and Selena Gomez. Edwards spots contenders in clubs, online, through video submissions from kids or their families and with the help of talent representatives. “I joke that I’m like a 12-year-old,” Edwards said, with her radar always on for new performers who will appeal to preteens and teenagers. “I found some of my favorite looking on artists YouTube, some of them kids who are not looking to be discovered but are expressing themselves online.” The winner gets Disney concert exposure — season two winner Jasmine Sagginario opened for Justin Bieber — and a shot at recording. But, as with other talent contests, it’s not all about being No. 1. Season three finalist Coco Jones is co-starring in a 2012 Disney Channel movie, “Let It Shine.” Contestants who “resonate with the audience and who have the talent and skills” can find opportunities at the Walt Disney Co., Edwards said. Grown-ups need not apply.

West correctly shifted to a trump in order to reduce declarer’s potential heart ruffs in dummy, and this left South without recourse. He took the trump return in dummy and led another heart, but East won with the ace and led a second trump, and declarer had to go down one because he could ruff only one heart in dummy. The play started similarly at the second table. The diamond lead was followed by a heart to South’s queen and West’s king. But here West failed to return a trump

Ohio son, father have kidney/ pancreas transplants GAHANNA (AP) — Moses Allen said he doesn’t care much about pain. So the 36-year-old tattoo artist didn’t fear the kidney/pancreas transplant in 2007 that rescued him from dialysis and gave him back his strength. His father, however, is wired a little differently. “I said, ‘Man, I don’t want anyone opening me up like that,’” said 55year-old Artis Allen, who, like his son, ended up on dialysis for damage caused by poorly controlled Type 1 diabetes. It was Artis Allen’s memory of how the transplant transformed his oldest son and a little convincing from his son that got him to Ohio State University Medical Center last month for his kidney/pancreas transplant. Dr. Mitchell Henry, chief of transplantation there, said he had never heard of a father and son who both had a kidney/pancreas transplant. No national data are kept on that, so it’s impossible to know whether the Allens are the only such pair in history. Surgeons transplant both organs from a donor who has died because it offers the best chance at curing diabetes. Ohio State performs about 20 kidney/pancreas transplants a year. There were 2,124 people awaiting the combined transplant in the United States as of Oct. 14. Patients typically wait a year or two for organs that are a good match. The younger Allen’s influence on his father was important, Henry said. Almost seven in 10 people with diabetes who are on dialysis will die in the first five years, he said. Moses
Allen was on dialysis for 21/2 years; Artis Allen, for more than a year. The son still gets quiet when he recalls the roses that would sit in the chairs at his dialysis center when one of the other patients had died. “I said, ‘Man, I’ll go ahead and try it,’ and I’m glad I did,’” Artis Allen said last week from his home in Mifflin Township in central Ohio. Near the couch where he sat were boxes full of the home dialysis equipment he no longer needs. “I feel a whole lot better.” His doctor has already taken him off one of his medications for high blood pressure, and Artis Allen suspects he’ll be off the other one soon. He’s working on gaining some weight and getting his energy back and hopes to return to running his construction and repair business soon. “I thank the Lord he got the transplant, because he deserves it,” said his son, who lives in Columbus. Artis Allen said he was humbled by the generosity of his organ donor. Moses Allen said he wishes more people would understand the power of organ transplants and agree to donate. “Organ donation is wonderful, and if I could, I would donate my organs,” he said. Donate Life America and organ-donation and transplantation advocates announced this month that 100 million people in the United States are now registered as organ, eye and tissue donors. The groups set that goal in 2006. Ohio’s registry has about 5 million registered donors.
Judge: Name, recipes part of Toledo eatery with TV tie TOLEDO (AP) — A judge has ruled that the winning bidders of an Ohio hot dog joint made famous on a popular TV show should get their order with everything on it. The Blade of Toledo reports the judge declared the restaurant’s name, Tony Packo’s, and its recipes are assets of the company, apparently clearing up questions about whether they were included in the sale.
Tony Packo’s was mentioned in episodes of the 1970s and ’80s TV series “M-A-S-H,” whose crossdressing character Cpl. Max Klinger craved the hot dogs. The restaurant’s man location in Toledo is now decorated with “M-AS-H” memorabilia. The judge last month settled a feud over the company’s ownership by accepting a bid from a private restaurant group backed by Tony Packo Jr. and his son.

G-20 rejects extra help for Europe No outside money OK’d to help ease debt crisis BY GREG KELLER Associated Press CANNES, France — The G-20 summit ended in disarray Friday without additional outside money to ease Europe’s debt crisis and new jitters about Italy clouding a plan to prevent Greece from defaulting. In Athens, meanwhile, Greece’s prime minister survived a confidence vote in parliament, calming a revolt in his Socialist party with a pledge to seek an interim government that would secure a vital new European debt deal. In the end, only vague offers to increase the firepower of the International Monetary Fund at some later date were all the eurozone leaders were able to take home after two days of tumultuous talks. With their own finances already stretched from bailing out Greece, Ireland and Portugal and the United States and other allies wrestling with their own problems eurozone countries had been looking to the IMF to help line up more financing to prevent the debt crisis from spreading to larger economies like Italy and Spain. Italy’s fate in particular is crucial to the eurozone, because its economy the

The implications for the world economy are stark: The debt crisis that has rocked the 17-nation eurozone threatens to push the world economy into a second recession. European leaders could point to one potential catastrophe averted: They stared down Greece’s prime minister and berated him into scrapping a referendum that threatened their European bailout plan. Greece’s politics are in upheaval as a result, but the shaky bailout
plan appears back on track for now. “We want Europe to work,” French President Nicolas Sarkozy said on French TV when the summit was over. “I think today we can have confidence … but that’s not to say our troubles are behind us.” In the end, the Greek question completely derailed Sarkozy’s aim of using the summit to show that Europe had sorted out its debt problem once and for all and possibly convince some of them to pitch in to the rescue effort. In the space of days, the already shrunken list of
goals set out by France to close out its year as head of the G-20 was scrapped, replaced by a nearly constant stream of shocking new developments and reversals in Europe’s long-running attempt to get control of Greece’s debt crisis. That reality was perhaps best illustrated at the height of the summit Thursday evening, when hundreds of journalists dropped what they were doing in the basement of Cannes’ Palais des Festivals and gathered around television screens to watch a live transmission from the Greek parliament in
Athens, where Prime Minister George Papandreou was speaking. The week of unending drama in Athens horrified its European partners, spooked global markets and overshadowed the summit in Cannes. The threat of a Greek default or exit from the common euro currency has worsened the continent’s debt crisis. When the week started, Europe had finally reached an intricate, ambitious and fragile deal to try to rescue Greece and stop the crisis from spreading any further. The G-20 summit was supposed to solidify and
clarify the deal and get the world economy back on the right track. Then Monday night, Papandreou shocked his European partners and domestic allies by announcing he would put the plan to a referendum. Markets panicked, as did many of the leaders coming to Cannes. Sarkozy and German Chancellor Angela Merkel held a series of frenzied meetings, then summoned Papandreou on Wednesday. If you lose this referendum, you could lose the euro, they told him. And they froze a new 8 billion loan that Greece will soon need pay government to salaries. And even as U.S. President Barack Obama, Chinese President Hu Jintao and other leaders struggled to make sense of the Greek drama’s fast-shifting plot, another flashpoint emerged in Italy. Market confidence in Italy’s ability to reduce its public debt and spur growth in its anemic economy has withered over recent weeks as the government weakened. Lawmakers have defected to the opposition and some of Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi’s ministers have openly suggested the government’s days may be numbered. Market fears mounted on Friday in the wake of the confusion about Greece. Italy’s benchmark 10-year bond yield jumped 0.32 of a percentage point to 6.43 percent.

Part-time nanny helps end Bank of America fee BEN NUCKOLS Associated Press WASHINGTON — Recent college graduate Molly Katchpole has $2,200 to her name, holds down two part-time jobs — one of them as a nanny — and describes her financial situation as paycheck-topaycheck. So when Bank of America announced that it would begin charging debit card users a $5 monthly fee, Katchpole got mad and started an online petition. More than 300,000 people signed it. And on Tuesday, the nation’s second-largest bank backed down. Now the 22-year-old is getting the credit for the end of the debit card fee. Katchpole is a Rhode Island native who lives in Washington, where she does freelance work for a political communications firm that supports unions and other Democratic-leaning causes. She describes herself as a progressive and says she stands in solidarity with the Occupy Wall Street movement. She has a tattoo below her collarbone that reads: “Empathy.” “I believe that is the most important quality that a person can have, is the ability to empathize with others,” she said. “When I first started the petition, and even now, people were saying, ‘Just close your bank account and go to another bank.’ I think people are forgetting that not everybody can easily close their bank and join a credit union. There are some neighborhoods in this country where there’s only one bank.” Shortly after Bank of America announced plans a month ago to start charging the fee, she put the petition on Change.org, a nonpartisan website that allows individuals and advocacy groups to launch campaigns on any topic. After the bank relented, Change.org declared on its home page: “We Won.” “It’s an awesome display of the potential power that real people can have when they come together,” said Ben Rattray, the site’s founder and CEO. Katchpole credited the popularity of her petition to good timing, calling it “stupid” for Bank of America to announce the fees in the midst of the Wall Street protests. Her boyfriend, Ben Sisko, said Katchpole succeeded because she expressed her outrage so clearly and concisely. The petition read, in part: “The American people bailed out Bank of America during a financial crisis the banks helped create. … How can you justify squeezing another $60 a year from your debit card customers? This is despicable.” A Bank of America executive called Katchpole more than three weeks ago to explain the fees, but by then it had already lost her as a customer to a community bank. Bank spokesman Ernesto

Molly Katchpole, 22, is seen in her Washington apartment Thursday. Recent college graduate Katchpole has $2,200 to her name, holds down two part-time jobs — one of them as a nanny — and describes her financial situation as paycheck-to-paycheck. So when Bank of America announced that it would begin charging debit card users a $5 monthly fee, Katchpole got mad and started an online petition. More than 300,000 people signed it. And on Tuesday, the nation’s second-largest bank backed down. Now the 22-year-old is getting the credit for the end of the debit card fee. Anguill declined to say precisely what role the petition played. He said Bank of America scrapped the fees after listening to public reaction and gauging the competition from other banks that backed off plans for similar charges. The outcry over Bank of America prompted other major banks, including JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Wells Fargo & Co., to cancel tests of their own debit card fees. Michael McCauley, a spokesman for Consumers Union, the advocacy arm of Consumer Reports Magazine, said the petition was a sign that Bank of America had misjudged its customers, just as Netflix did when it tried to divide its DVD-rental and online streaming businesses. He called Katchpole an inspiration to consumers who feel they are being treated poorly. “The debit card issue pushed her over the edge, and she took action, and look at the impact that she’s had. I think it’s remarkable,” he said.
Katchpole grew up in Cumberland, R.I., a town of 33,000, and graduated last spring from Roger Williams University in Bristol, R.I., with a degree in art and architectural history. She was on the debate team in high school and wrote letters to her local paper. “When she had something that she wanted to say, she usually said it, and if she felt other people needed to know, then she found the avenue to express it,” said her mother, Kathy Katchpole, a physical therapist. “She’s always had pretty strong views one way or the other.” She and her boyfriend live in a tiny, one-bedroom basement apartment, where they split the $1,250 rent. Sisko works as a paralegal, and Katchpole is hoping to find a full-time job in politics. Katchpole’s parents and boyfriend remain Bank of America customers. “I haven’t decided if I’m going to switch yet,” Sisko said. After all, he said, “the petition worked!”

Is a reverse mortgage a sound option for retirement income? The concept behind reverse mortgages is nothing new. They provide a way for those who are retired or about to retire to generate cash flow based on the value of their home. The terminology may sound confusing, but a reverse mortgage is considered a loan to the individual—similar to a home equity loan. A reverse mortgage is an option for retirees to tap into the equity they’ve accumulated on their home, particularly if the mortgage is paid off or if the balance on the mortgage is low. But reverse mortgages can take different forms, and it’s important for homeowners to clearly understand the terms of any agreement they consider. Given the financial strain many retirees feel today as a result of the volatile investment markets of recent years and despite the fact that home values were hard hit in recent years, curiosity about reverse mortgages remains high. Retired homeowners who are looking for income in addition to what they will receive from retirement plan savings, pensions and Social Security often consider this option to help meet their financial needs in retirement. Key facts about reverse mortgages: • A reverse mortgage allows one to receive income based on his or her home’s value while continuing to own and live in the home. • Reverse mortgages are typically limited to individuals age 62 and older. • Although payments are based on the equity in your home (among other factors), there is an obligation to repay the full amount received plus interest either at the death of the homeowner or when the home is sold. However, in many cases, the amount due will not exceed the value of the home when it is sold. • Those who receive reverse mortgage payments remain obligated to pay taxes and insurance on the property. This becomes difficult for some—the number of borrowers who default on reverse mortgages has increased in recent years. Many don’t have sufficient assets to make property tax and home insurance payments, or they simply weren’t aware of this requirement. A good solution is to set up an automatic payment program through a bank or cash management account. • The biggest factors that affect the amount one can borrow are current age (older individuals may receive larger reverse mortgage payments), and the amount of equity one has on the house. Three different options There are three different types of reverse mortgages. They include: • Home Equity Conversion Mortgages (or HECMs), in-
CRAIG MULLENBROCK Columnist sured by the Federal Housing Administration • Single Purpose Reverse Mortgages (offered by some state and local government agencies and nonprofit organizations), typically aimed at low and moderate-income homeowners • Proprietary Reverse Mortgages – private loans backed by the companies that originate the loan The vast majority of loans in the market today are government-sponsored HECM’s. Participants can receive payments monthly or even establish a line of credit that can be opened when or if needed. Obligations of the borrower In many ways, reverse mortgages are similar to home equity loans in which the value of the home is used to generate cash flow while you continue to own and live in the property. There are costs involved and private loans tend to be more expensive than those offered through government agencies. Unlike a home mortgage, the amount you owe on a reverse mortgage increases over time. Interest is charged on the outstanding balance and added to the amount owed each month. Repayment occurs by selling the home or having heirs take care of repayment after the death of the homeowner. Therefore, it is important to let heirs know in advance that the reverse mortgage is in place. Most of these loans have a “nonrecourse clause,” protecting heirs from owing more than the value of the home when the loan becomes due and the home is sold. It’s also vital to be cognizant of the interest rate charged on a home equity line. Although some have fixed rates, most utilize a variable rate, so the net value of payments made can decline over time if interest rates rise. Be sure to meet with an advisor for advice on the terms of any reverse mortgage you consider. This meeting is required for all who apply for a federally-backed Home Equity Conversion Mortgage.

HOROSCOPE Saturday, Nov. 5, 2011 If you have several significant goals you wish to accomplish in the next year, networking could help you weld them together and enable you to go after them collectively. It’ll do wonders for your self-esteem when they’re in the can. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — When mingling with others, there is a chance you could discover a new and very appealing social interest. It’ll be something fascinating that proves to be stimulating for the moment. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Although the media is a good source for interesting news, so might be many of the fascinating bulletins you’ll receive at the dinner table. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Keep your lines of communication open, because someone with a heavy load of scuttlebutt will be trying to get in touch with you. You’ll want to hear what she or he has to say. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — This is an excellent day to put your business and personal records in order. If you examine your budget, you’ll see how you can cut corners and get more mileage from your money. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — Assign yourself a long list of things to do, if no one else is doing this for you. It is likely to be one of those days when you’ll need a packed schedule in order to feel productive. ARIES (March 21-April 19) — Use your subtle sense of humor to get your points across in a testy situation, or if you’re with someone who needs to laugh a little to get past a tough predicament. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Someone with whom you recently had a misunderstanding is hoping to hear from you. Both parties need to forgive and forget, without pointing any fingers. Be the big person who steps forward. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — Keep your tactics and methods flexible so each can be altered to suit the conditions at hand, and you’ll have no trouble achieving something very important. CANCER (June 21-July 22) — If you’ve been falling behind in acquiring new knowledge that’s necessary for a top-shelf project, now is the time to do something about that. Catch up with all reasonable speed. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Whether you decide to engage in a joint endeavor or take care of your own personal needs depends on the importance of each, not on which you would prefer to do. Choose wisely. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Keep your back to the wall, because someone is trying to manipulate you into making a decision that favors her or him. Don’t let anyone pressure you into going against your desires. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — People in general can be a bit sensitive and touchy, so if you don’t want your production line shut down, it’s important to make everyone feel appreciated and significant.

Just analyze this Start out with getting Kathy Henne Re/Max Finest When you're ready to sell your home, will you gaze into a crystal ball for mysterious guidance to determine the magical price that the buyers will accept? Oh, if only it were that easy! There are a number of factors to consider when formulating your listing price, but one of the most important tools is the Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) prepared by your real estate agent. The CMA takes the characteristics of your home - number of bedrooms,

square footage, age, location, etc. and compares it to similar sold listings in the area. You'll see the asking prices and final sale prices of homes similar to yours. Current listing prices are irrelevant, but pay attention to the prices at which properties SOLD, because that's what buyers were willing to pay. Throw out the highest and lowest prices in the range and compare the sales prices for the remaining homes. Your agent will help you determine how those homes compare to the one you are trying to sell so you can adjust your price accordingly. Be sure to note how recently those sales took place, too, because sales from over a year ago may no longer be relevant or useful for your decision. Your agent will help interpret the information so you can set a fair market value for your home - one that the buyers will be excited about.

parative market analysis. The agent will look at recent sales of comparable homes in your area and give you information about other properties that are currently on the market. By comparing the size, location and condition of your home to the competition, your agent can help you determine how much to ask for your home. Even in an active market, an inflated price may frighten prospective buyers away. A house that is over-priced can take additional weeks or months to sell, and the final sale price may even be lower than if the sellers had started out more realistically. The price is based on market conditions, comparable sales, and your agents years of experience in the marketplace.

Lehman
DAYTON — University of Dayton’s Justine Raterman was one of 30 women’s basketball players selected as a candidate today for the 2011-12 Lowe’s Senior CLASS Award.She is the first Flyer women's basketball player to ever be named to the list. To be eligible for the award, a student-athlete must be classified as an NCAA Division I senior and have notable achievements in four areas of excellence — community, classroom, character and competition. Raterman, also named to the 2011-12 Preseason Top 30 list for the Wooden Award, has averaged 14.0 points and 7.2 rebounds per game over her three
seasons at Dayton. The two-time captain has led the Flyers in scoring all three years. She was a First Team All-Atlantic 10 selection as a junior and has been named to the A-10 AllChampionship team for three consecutive years. She has helped the Flyers to three consecutive postseason appearances, including two straight NCAA at-large berths. During her career the Flyers have also won 20+ games in each season. Raterman is a double major in AYA Math Education and Mathematics and carries a 3.71 GPA. Raterman and the Dayton women’s basketball team were honored with the 2011 Atlantic 10 Fe-
Sportsmanship male Award. Lowe’s, an official Corporate Partner of the NCAA, will announce the Senior CLASS Award® winner during the NCAA Women’s Final Four®, which will be held April 1 and 3 in Denver. The 30 candidates will be narrowed to 10 finalists midway through the regular season, and those 10 names will be placed on the official ballot. Ballots will be distributed through a nationwide voting system to media, Division I coaches and fans who will select one finalist. For more information on all the candidates, visit seniorCLASSaward.com.
Lady Vikings Win District
Continued from page 16 mind a little deja vu. Last year Marion Local was the three-time defending state champion and had beaten Lehman during the regular season — only to see Lehman shock them in three games in the regional final on the way to the program’s third state title. “That would be great if we were able to play a match like that again,” Snipes said. “Our girls seem to have that ability (to raise their game in big matches).” But, he knows a win today will not come easily. “There is no question, they (St. Henry) are a very good team,” Snipes said. “They have some size, but really, they are a very well-balanced team. They have a lot of girls back from last year.” At the same time, he said his team has something to prove. “I think the coaches and the players both felt like we didn’t play our best volleyball that night,” he said. “Now, we have a chance to show that.”
The Lady Cavaliers also have the ability to mix things up. Five different players have at least 120 kills for Lehman. Middles Ellie Waldsmith (197 kills, 68 blocks, 201 digs) and Paxton Hatcher (123 kills, 45 blocks) are a solid combo, while Morgan Schmitmeyer (197 kills), Lindsey Spearman (132 kills, 63 aces) and Andrea Thobe (189 kills, 471 assists, 44 aces) are all dangerous hitters from the outside. Thobe and Cain (383 assists, 60 aces) give Lehman a strong setting combo and Cain can also be a weapon the right side. Libero Erica Paulus (354 digs) and defensive specialist Meghan Earhart (198) anchor the back row. “We want to be able to spread things around,” Snipes said. “That will be a key for us.” And the Lady Cavaliers aren’t likely to be rattled. Five of the eight girls in the regular rotation are
East Continued from page 17 ranked team in the state in Division III all season long — have spent the whole year proving to everyone that they deserve it. Miami East began the season with an early victory over St. Henry, the No. 1 team in D-IV, in a best-of-three tournament. Their only loss was to Lehman, the then-No. 2 team in the state in D-IV, in a best-of-three match at the Piqua Invitational. They then came back a few days later and avenged that loss, sweeping the Cavs in three and giving them a victory over both teams that will be playing in the D-IV regional final the same day. Miami East then got some vengeance for a loss from last season, beating Anna — the team that knocked the Vikings out in last year’s sectional final — Wednesday night for the team’s first-ever win in the regional tourna-
ment. It took the Vikings four games to beat the Rockets, though — the first time they’ve been pushed to four all year. “Our ball control was not where it needed to be,” Cash said. ‘We became one-dimensional. We were forced to go to our outside or set up the back row every time, and we became predictable. It took us out of our game a little. “But our setters still put up good balls and we could still get good swings — and, most importantly, we kept points going. We’re built for those long points. “It doesn’t matter who we play, if we can keep points going and win 60 percent of those long points, we’ll win the match.” And while the Falcons aren’t necessarily the same team that won the state title in D-III last year, the Vikings know

back from last year and two more — Lindsey Spearman and Meghan Earhart — started in the state semifinals last year. “Everybody is a little tight at the start of the match,” Snipes said. “But, these girls have played in a lot of big matches.” And Saturday will be a state tournament type environment.
