City offices to close for holiday

A holiday tradition ANTHONY WEBER/STAFF PHOTO

PIQUA — Piqua City offices will be closed on Thursday, Nov. 24 and Friday, Nov. 25, to allow city employees to observe the Thanksgiving holiday with their families.

Garbage, refuse, and recycling collections will not be made Thursday. Thursday’s collection will be on Friday, and Friday’s collection will be on Saturday.

The city urges all customers to place their containers at their usual collection points the evening before for early pick-ups the following day.

Federal, state, county and village of Covington offices also will be closed Thursday for Thanksgiving.

Ruben Pelayo and his El Sombrero restaurants in Troy and Piqua will serve a traditional Thanksgiving meal on Thursday, free to all in the community who care to participate.

TROY — Holidays are about the traditions that make them special.

And, for the last 16 years, some residents of Miami County have spent the Thanksgiving holiday either volunteering or just enjoying a traditional meal, at El Sombrero restaurants in Troy and Piqua.

For Thanksgiving, owner Ruben Pelayo and his “American mom” Judy Rose put away the salsa bowls and pull out the gravy boats for the traditional feast — offered free to the community this year for the 17th

consecutive year from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Nov. 24. The meal will be offered at both restaurants, in Troy at 1700 N. County Road 25-A and the Piqua restaurant at 1274 E. Ash St. “We have families that have made it their tradition to be here for Thanksgiving,” Rose said. “This is for the community. We want everybody to come and let us serve them.”

The annual feast is the continuation of a tradition started in Mexico by Pelayo’s mother, who would feed hungry neighbors.

Pelayo, who has been honored repeatedly for his benevolence in the community, invites not only those who need a good meal and fellowship, but

those who simply don’t want to cook.

The meal is made possible each year by donations from the community, money made through the sale of hand-crafted items sold at the Troy restaurant by Rose and other volunteers, and profits from the restaurants.

A humble Pelayo said the event would not be possible without his loyal customers and community volunteers.

“It’s not just me, it’s a lot of people who have kept this meal going,” Pelayo said. “I’m grateful I’m able to do so.”

PIQUA — At last week’s commission meeting economic development director Bill Murphy was on hand to give some good news on recent developments and potential opportunities going into the new year.

“We’ve had our best year in terms of construction activity in nearly a decade,” stated Murphy on the year’s $27.2 million in construction. “We’ve certainly been the beneficiaries of investments from both the public and the private sectors.”

This year there were three significant expansion announcements, one from Atlas Precision Machining Inc., a sister company to Apex Aluminum Die Casting Company, Palmer Bolt and Supply noted in the October Dayton Business Journal and Berwick Steel. The latter held a groundbreaking ceremony last week where, partnered with Ferguson Construction, a 60,000 square foot addition will help continue the provision of steel to the automotive industry.

This $2 million project is, “A statement about their confidence in our local economy and we heard very positive comments from their leadership,” said Murphy on Berwick where 11 associates were added in October and are positioning this expansion to accommodate potential capital investments in the coming years.

Expansion and new investment sites were not the only good news as Murphy spoke on the many successful grant applications with Piqua Memorial Hospital being the most recipient of $2 million from Clean Ohio that will be used for demolition and clean-up.

“That will present a redevelopment opportunity for a new fourth through sixth with the passage of the school’s levy,” explained Murphy.

Looking to the future, continued efforts will be made to, “Get us in front of sites selection consultants, corporate real estate professionals and re-focusing on domestic recruitment by engaging companies at key trade shows coming up in 2012,” said Murphy who remains cautiously optimistic about the economy while noting the many challenges that remain when the world economy can play such an important role locally. An example being the earthquake and Tsunami that hit Japan last March that disrupted automaker supplies and the more recent flooding in Thailand.

Commission meetings are held every first and third Tuesday of the month at 7:30 p.m. at the commission chamber on the second floor of the Government Municipal Complex.

The public is invited and encouraged to attend.

Meeting agendas are available both online at www.piquaoh.org and at the complex.

HeALthy Is Cool!

The Brain & Nervous System The brain manages your body and controls almost everything you do, even when you are asleep. It runs the nervous system (along with spinal cord and nerves) and connects the inside of your body to the outside world.

How many jobs does your brain have?

• It controls your breathing, heart rate, body temperature and blood pressure.

• It handles your body’s movement (telling your muscles when and how to move) and controls balance and coordination (how your muscles work together).

• It receives information from your senses and stores it in your memory bank (seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting, touching).

• It lets you feel emotions, talk, think, remember and dream.

Your brain gives your body the power to be a super kid.

Without it, you couldn’t walk, run, ride a bike, skateboard, dribble a basketball, swim or learn. You need your brain to be active and strong, so make sure you and your family: • Eat healthy and nutritions

• Exercise and play, move your body and have fun!

• Wear a helmet when you ride your bike or play sports that require one.

• Keep your body clean by not drinking alcohol, taking drugs or using tobacco.

• Do challenging activities such as reading, solving puzzles, playing math games, learning an instrument, creating artwork or playing educational board games that make you think!

Did You Know?

• The spinal cord is a long bundle of nerve tissue about 18 inches long and 3/4 inch thick.

• The human brain, considering everything it does, is incredibly compact weighing just 3 pounds.

• At birth, the nervous system contains all the neurons you will ever have.

• Olfactory cells in the mucous membranes lining each nostril react to chemicals we breathe in and send messages along specific nerves to the brain — which, according to experts, can distinguish between more than 10,000 different smells.

• When you are doing a math problem, you’re using the left side of your brain; when you are listening to music, you’re using the right side.

If you ride a bike or play sports, your are at the top of the risk list for head injuries.

Falls are the most common cause of playground head injuries, more than bikes and auto accidents combined. To protect your head, make sure you click your seat belt in the car, wear your helmet when riding your bike, and be safe when playing sports and climbing on the jungle gym at school or the park.

Fitness Pledge As a family, create a weekly exercise plan by brainstorming and making a list of physical activities that everyone will enjoy. Coordinate your schedules to block out an hour each day and track your progress throughout the week.

Part 2 - Continued Hey Kids! We want you to take part in our “Healthy Is Cool” program this year. Fill out the pledge and mail to: Dana Wolfe (NIE Coordinator), 224 S. Market St., Troy, OH 45373. You’ll be entered to win great prizes in our fitness pledge program! Deadline for entry forms is May 2, 2012.

Family discussion: Once you’ve completed the first week of your new fitness plan, have a family meeting. How did things go? What worked? What didn’t? What changes need to be made, and what should stay the same for the next week?

What new activities should be added?

Yoga for the younger generation Yoga Is For Everybody Yoga is a Hindu discipline of exercises practiced to promote control of the body and aimed at training the consciousness for a state of perfect spiritual insight and tranquility. Yoga is not a religion. Yoga is a philosophy of life. Yoga is for everybody. Everyone can do yoga, but most think of it as twisting the body into knots. Yoga is a safe, effective way to achieve overall fitness for everyone.

Benefits of Yoga The more you practice yoga, the more benefits you will notice. Breathing techniques improve oxygen intake, making the lungs more efficient. Stretching lengthens the muscles increasing flexibility. The poses use body weight to strengthen and tone the muscles. The breathing and flow of the poses brings about a calmer and clearer mind, which reduces stress. While in the poses, concentration on body positioning, helps with improved posture on and off the yoga mat. The contemplative mind-body connection lessens the chance of injury, whether that can be in athletics or everyday activities.

Overall Fitness A metabolic exchange occurs during physical activity when the breathing pattern comes into play. Yoga’s rhythm of inhaling and exhaling during physical activity brings oxygen to the muscles for better performance. Some exercise programs concentrate on muscle bulk in specific areas of the body, while yoga offsets the unevenness by offering a complete and balanced mind-body workout for all muscle groups. Yoga also helps with the mental game through mindfulness and meditation.

As a family, we promise to take care of our bodies by working together to: • Get 60 minutes of daily exercise • Limit our sugar intake and avoid products that include high-fructose corn syrup (drinks, candy, snacks) • Drink more water (8-10 glasses each day) • Eat more fresh vegetables and fruits • Limit screen time by turning off the TV, computer and gaming systems • Praise one another for a job well done • Track our progress Being active is good for the entire family! To help you and your family commit to being healthy and fit, complete and sign the health pledge below. Once it’s complete, send to: Dana Wolfe (NIE Coordinator), 224 S. Market St., Troy, OH 45373.

Today, Westerheide coteaches reading and math in inclusion classrooms to grades 1-3. Inclusion classrooms have a mixture of students with and without Individual Educational Plans. She also pulls out individual students for preteaching and re-teaching activities as well as administering tests.

“I co-teach with three fabulous teachers — Libbey Leininger 3rd grade language arts, Lisa Tabler 2nd grade, and Jennifer Everett 3rd grade math. I also have students in Jill Miller’s and Becky Garrett’s 1st grade classrooms,” Westerheide said.“The biggest challenge is figuring out a schedule and a common planning time, so students can receive appropriate accommodations and succeed in the general education classroom.” Westerheide likes co-teaching in different grades. “I get to see the best teaching practices and techniques from a variety of teachers,” she said. “I feel lucky that I get to work with the same students for three years while they are at High Street. I already know their strengths and weaknesses at the beginning of each year and just pick up where we stopped at the end of the previous year. It is amazing to see their progress.”

Interment will be in Dayton Memorial Park.

The family would like to thank Dr. Meenakshi Patel and the Bethany staff for giving excellent care to Grandma Toots during the last 10 years, and the Hospice staff for recent crisis care.

Tradition Rose, also the restaurants’ business manager, agrees.

“It’s because of the loyalty of the customers coming back year after year and keeping him in business so that we can do this,” Rose said.

The meal,which consists of a traditional Thanksgiving turkey and all the trimmings, formerly was served buffetstyle, but now is a sit-down meal .

“We realized that some of ourThanksgiving guests don’t get to go out much,so it makes it more special to be served,” said Rose,who said employees and volunteers see to all of the guests’ needs — including seconds.

Employees begin cooking the some 120 turkeys the week prior to Thanksgiving in order to have them all ready for the dinner.

“I find it fun to come in the week before and smell turkeys cooking instead of Mexican food,” Rose said.

Rose said a core group of

people help to plan the dinner each year, however, about 50 more volunteers help in the two restaurants on Thanksgiving Day. Employees, many from Mexico, are paid, and see the holiday as just another day of work, Rose said, as Thanksgiving is not recognized in their country “Even in this economy, you just thank everybody,” said Rose, tears welling up in her eyes. “People continue to support the restaurants. And, we receive donations to help with the meals. We just have the greatest customers anyone could ever ask for.”

More food than is needed to feed the guests also is ordered by Pelayo each year, according to Rose,with all extras being delivered to Piqua’s Bethany Center and Troy’s St. Patrick soup kitchens to continue supporting the community.

“Every bite of food will be eaten,” said Pelayo, who also makes a meat donation monthly to each soup kitchen.

“Nothing goes to waste.”

Editorial roundup

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Serving Piqua since 1883

“Finally, brothers, whatever things are true, whatever things are honest, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.”

(Philippians 4:8 AKJV)

Guest Column

Redistricting plan comes under fire hanks to everyone who helped get Senate Bill 5 petition signatures and to those who helped pass petitions to repeal HB 194, the bill restricting voting rights for college students, seniors and people who work odd shifts or two jobs. HB 194 signatures are presently being reviewed by Secretary of State John Husted to determine whether Ohioans can vote on it, November 2012.

Meanwhile, Democrats are passing a third petition, one to pressure Ohio Congressmen to reconsider HB 319, widely considered the most gerrymandered redistricting bill in Ohio history. If it passes as written, it will cut Cleveland, Cincinnati, and Columbus into horizontal ribbons. It will result in 4 of 16 Ohio, U.S. Congressional districts being Democratic with the rest leaning Republican.

Many of us had heard that it would be contested in the courts based on Civil Rights legislation, but apparently someone has to complain first, for it to get to the courts.

HOLLY DENLINGER As with the previous Guest Columnist two petitions, the Ohio Democratic party has not made a public temper tantrum about these infringements on Ohioans’ rights, making it difficult for the majority of Ohioans to even know what is going on in Columbus. The main reason for this is Republicans, like State Sen. Bill Beagle and State Rep. Richard Adams, who “whole heartedly” support Gov. John Kasich on these topics, have an arsenal of Tea Party extremists who are loaded with cash. Last count, Senator Beagle won our district with $908,068 donated by the Ohio Republican Party and Republican Senate Campaign Committee for his media campaign, on top of the $16,000 he personally raised. Senator Beagle has defended another questionable vote, his support of legislation to allow guns in bars based on his claim that he has Police “friends” who told him it was a good thing but could not then name any of these “friends.”

If HB 319 remains as written, we are facing not only U.S. Congressman (John) Boehner being set for life as a millionaire politician, but many others joining him, here in Ohio. Speaking of whom, has anyone seen him in the district lately? Several of us visited his Troy office, late summer, to encourage his staff to hold a public town hall in the district, over one of his breaks. But the best he could do was an airplane parts manufacturing company, based in Cincinnati, which had a branch just barely in West Chester where he spoke to the “job creators.”

The real image problem for Ohio, though, is that he bawled again this week while presenting Congressional Gold Medals to our countries’ honored astronauts. Now if we were to believe his wife and staff, he is simply a highly emotional guy, who also believes everyone should pull themselves up by their own bootstraps. But everyone who has ever worked two jobs or had an infant child in the home, will tell you that bawling at the drop of a hat is usually a sign that you are sleep-deprived. So either he is staying up late at night trying to figure out how to help the middle class climb the ladder of success in the United States or he can’t sleep because of the guilt he feels for not helping the middle class climb the ladder of success in the United States. Or I guess he could just be up, smoking.

Thus public dollars could be used to send children to Catholic, Jewprogram.

A smaller version has been in place ish, Baptist, Muslim, etc. programs, a for some time but only targeting lower clear violation of the concept of separaperforming schools. This new bill, if tion of church and state. This must have passed, would allow tax based vouchers been on the mind of the writers of our to pay for private school tuition regard- state constitution when they added the less of home school performance. It following words…”but no religious or would, for example, allow a child to move other sect, or sects, shall ever have any from an excellent school into any private exclusive right to, or control of, any part or parochial school of choice paid for of the school funds of this state.”

Republicans again in Columbus with your tax dollars. Vouchers up to $4626 would be available for family in- demonstrate a subtle understanding of the power of semantics when they comes up to $95,000/year.

I have a big problem with any voucher dubbed HB 136 the “Parental Choice program (or charter school) for two rea- and Taxpayer Savings Scholarship Prosons. To understand why, you need to gram (PACT). Who can argue, they reaknow what the Ohio Constitution says son, with parents having choices and about schools. It states “The General As- saving taxpayers money by giving away sembly shall make such provisions, by scholarships.

It does none of this. A voucher is not taxation, or otherwise, as, with the income arising from the school trust fund, an earned scholarship. You can’t send will secure a thorough and efficient sys- your child across town or the county untem of common schools throughout the less transportation is provided. And state; but no religious or other sect, or money is not saved…only spread around sects, shall ever have any exclusive right more thinly than ever.

Power players with huge profit moto, or control of, any part of the school tives hijacked the charter school movefunds of this state.”

This simple passage requires the state ment, which was to be non-profit, to make high quality educational oppor- experimental, and innovative to instruct tunities available to all children of all traditional public schools how to imthe people via the system. Citizens can prove. It has done nothing but line the opt out of the system and attend any pockets of a few with our tax dollars.

More than 15 years ago the Ohio school of choice but there is no constitutional obligation to pay the expenses of Supreme Court decreed the system unconstitutional and admonished the state those who do opt out.

Sponsors of HB 136 try to use a con- to fix the system. The system is still unstitutional argument that if public constitutional. The party in power needs schools are not providing a “thorough to live up to its mandated responsibility and efficient” education, alternatives and not shirk it by providing escape such as vouchers to private schools routes for a select few.

Maybe that’s what all these “Constishould be offered.

Excerpts of recent editorials of interest from Ohio newspapers: The (Toledo) Blade Gov. John Kasich extols the energy and economicgrowth potential of Ohio’s oil and natural-gas reserves.

Extracting these riches from the state’s shale deposits often requires a controversial but increasingly popular technique called hydraulic fracturing, or fracking.

The process pumps toxic chemicals and sand into underground rock formations to release trapped gas and oil. … If fracking is not adequately regulated by government including public disclosure of the poisonous substances used by drillers it threatens groundwater, streams, air quality, and public health.

Ohio needs and does not have reasonable but effective rules to govern fracking ….A new report ominously suggests that the natural-gas industry is making big political contributions, in Ohio and in Congress, as part of a successful decade-long lobbying campaign to escape proper oversight of fracking.

The study by the nonpartisan good-government group Common Cause reports that natural-gas interests have donated more than $20 million to the campaigns of current members of Congress, including $600,000 to Ohio lawmakers. State elected officials in Ohio collected an extra $2.8 million in the past decade.

(Cleveland) Plain Dealer The torturous drip, drip, drip continues as the NCAA looks into possible wrongdoing around the Ohio State University football program. What first emerged last December as individual violations by a handful of players have since brought down the head coach who tried to cover up their misdeeds and now, for the first time, have morphed into an investigation of institutional wrongdoing. That invites not only more severe penalties, but added scrutiny when the NCAA Infractions Committee meets next month.

In their latest response to the NCAA, Ohio State officials recently acknowledged that they had failed to properly monitor the activities of Cleveland area booster Bobby DiGeronimo …. OSU also informed the governing body that it was giving up at least five football scholarships and that President Gordon Gee had reprimanded Athletics Director Gene Smith ….

For his part, DiGeronimo who earlier refused to meet with NCAA investigators said Smith and former football coach Jim Tressel were lying and trying to make him a scapegoat. In a statement to The Plain Dealer, the longtime Buckeye booster said that he had letters that could embarrass OSU but that he would not make them public.

Advice — CHEATED IN NEW YORK DEAR CHEATED: I’m sorry, but your signature indicates you have a firm grasp of your situation. It appears you will never have what you want if you stay with Chad, so pack your bags and get on with your life.

DEAR DREADING: Perhaps you should soak the pots and pans immediately after you’re done cooking, so when the meal is done your husband will have an easier job of washing them. If any food is still hard to remove, offer to help him by filling the utensils with water and placing them on the stove; let them boil a while, and then wash them again with detergent and a brush. That should solve your problem.

DEAR ABBY: I have wanted a baby for a long time. Now that I’m 31, my desire is growing stronger. My boyfriend of 11 years, “Chad,” is 35.

His daughter lives with us and I have raised her like she was mine.

Chad and I discussed having a baby and even went to a fertility clinic to make sure we’re healthy and would have no complications trying to conceive. Now, almost a year later and still no baby, he says he has a successful business, loves his life and doesn’t want any more kids! “Maybe down the road” he “might” change his mind.

I hate him for this. I had two abortions for him five years into our relationship because he felt we weren’t ready. He was starting his business and I was still in my last year of college.

Abby, please help me. I am furious with him, and I’m starting to pull away from him and his daughter.

DEAR ALL OF ME: Your wife’s first love will always have a place in her heart (and many women would concur) because the relationship has been idealized. They didn’t experience the ups and downs of daily living, budget problems, child problems, illnesses and other realities that living with someone on a daily basis can present.

You HAVE all of her, including the fact that she tends to romanticize the past. However, your marriage will be better served if, when the subject of the past is raised, you turn it to the present or the future.

British actor Robert Pattinson, left, US actress Kristen Stewart, centre and US actor Taylor Lautner arrive for the UK film premiere of 'Twilight Breaking Dawn Part 1' at Westfield Stratford in east London, Wednesday, Nov. 16.

DAVID GERMAIN AP Movie Writer LOS ANGELES (AP) — “The Twilight Saga” has staked out another huge opening with a $139.5 million first weekend domestically and a worldwide launch of $283.5 million.

The domestic total gives “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn — Part 1” the second-best debut weekend for the franchise, after the $142.8 million launch for 2009’s “The Twilight Saga: New Moon.” ‘’Breaking Dawn” did more than half of its business, $72 million, on opening day Friday, while the movie’s debut weekend was the fifth-best on record.

Opening in 54 overseas markets, “Breaking Dawn” pulled in $144 million internationally, according to studio estimates Sunday.

But the Warner Bros. dancing penguin sequel “Happy Feet 2” stumbled in its debut, pulling in just $22 million over opening weekend. That’s barely half what the first film in the animated franchise earned in its 2006 opening.

The comparison is even worse considering the origi-

of the hand lies in the bidding. England’s Joel Tarlo opened one club, doubled

by Sam Stayman for takeout. After Nico Gardener’s one-spade bid, George Rapee jumped to four hearts.

Tarlo, not vulnerable and with nine winners in his own hand, bid five clubs. Stayman, playing possum, then bid only five hearts. He was confident that a slam in hearts could be made, but he didn’t want to give the show away by bidding six directly, which might encourage East-West to sacrifice at seven clubs.

The thing to do, Stayman decided, was to ease into the slam.

Tarlo then bid six clubs according to schedule, and Stayman passed in order to further the impression that he was doubtful about undertaking a slam. He intended to bid six if Rapee (who was obliged to take some action) doubled.

But Rapee came through with a six-heart bid, and Tarlo was now up against it. He knew he could not go down more than four at seven clubs doubled (-700 in those days), but he also knew

the save would be foolish if it turned out that six hearts, bid so reluctantly, could not be made. So he left the decision to his partner. Gardener passed, and six hearts was duly made for a score of 1,530 points (including 100 honors).

At the other table, the bidding went:

to give the U.S. a substantial gain.

Tomorrow: The sure way is the best way.

The first international match for the world title was held in Bermuda in 1950. An American team won the event in a threecornered match that included a British team and a Swedish-Icelandic team.

This hand was the very last one played in the match between England and the United States. It brought to a dramatic climax the 108-board confrontation, which the Americans won by 3,660 points.

compared with the big debut for the first film, a critical favorite that won the Academy Award for feature animation.

The sequel, featuring returning voice stars Elijah Wood and Robin Williams, received mixed to bad reviews. Still,Warner Bros. reported it earned high marks from audiences, which could keep it afloat in the coming weeks.

“We honestly feel we’ll pick up some steam and play some catch-up as we get into the holidays,” said Dan Fellman, head of distribution at Warner.

But the competition for family audiences turns intense in the next few days with Martin Scorsese’s youthful adventure “Hugo,” the musical comedy “The Muppets” and the animated holiday tale “Arthur Christmas” all opening Wednesday for the busy Thanksgiving weekend.

The newcomers, combined with “Breaking Dawn,” could lift Hollywood above the Thanksgiving record set in 2009, when “New Moon” paced the industry to a $273 million domestic haul from Wednesday to Sunday.

“This could be one of the greatest movie-going weekends ever in the midst of a year that has really had its ups and downs at the box office,” said Hollywood.com analyst Paul Dergarabedian.

Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to Hollywood.com.

Where available, latest international numbers are also included. Final domestic figures will be released Monday.

by female viewers. Distributor Summit Entertainment reported that women and girls made up 80 percent of the audience for “Breaking Dawn.”

The popularity of “Twilight” has left many men scratching their heads, even those involved in releasing the movies.

“I’m 53 years old, and I haven’t figured it out yet,” said Richie Fay, head of distribution for Summit. “It relates really to young girls and things that are important to them, their romantic ideas of love and relationships, without getting so physical, at least on screen, that it becomes a worry for their parents.”

“Breaking Dawn” has brooding teen Bella (Kristen Stewart) marrying vampire lover Edward (Robert Pattinson), whose family strikes an uneasy alliance with jealous werewolf Jacob (Taylor Lautner) to protect the bride and the baby she’s carrying.

The movie’s big start points to even better business for next year’s “Breaking Dawn — Part 2,” the finale in the five-film series based on Stephenie Meyer’s best-selling novels.

“Breaking Dawn” was a windfall for Hollywood in general, whose domestic revenues continue to trail 2010’s despite rosy projections last spring of a record box-office year.

Domestic business totaled $222 million, up 14 percent from the same weekend last year, when “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1” led with $125 million, according to box-office tracker Hollywood.com.

The previous weekend’s No. 1 movie, Relativity Media’s action tale “Immortals,” fell to third-place with $12.3 million, raising its domestic haul to $53 million.

George Clooney had a great start with Fox Searchlight’s comic drama “The Descendants,” which broke into the top-10 despite playing in just a handful of theaters.

“The Descendants” finished at No. 10 with $1.2 million in 29 theaters, averaging a whopping $42,150 a cinema. That compares to an average of $34,351 in 4,061 theaters for “Breaking Dawn.”

Directed by Alexander Payne (“Sideways”), the film stars Clooney as a distressed dad tending to his daughters after his wife falls into a coma from a head injury. The film expands to about 400 theaters Wednesday.

DEAR ABBY: My wife of 15 years has been forthcoming about the four serious relationships (two marriages included), she had before we were married. Recently, however, she mentioned she still has a “place in her heart” — and always will — for her first boyfriend.

They had a three-year high school romance.

I find this really disturbing. It’s like I will never get 100 percent of her heart, no matter what. It also bothers me that he was just a boyfriend. I could almost accept feelings for an exhusband because of the nature of the relationship — but a boyfriend? Come on! Please advise.

Wife wants to wash her man right out of holiday kitchen DEAR ABBY: What is a wife to do? My husband occasionally pitches in to help me prepare holiday meals. He prides himself on his dishwashing skills, but when he’s done I have to rewash most of the pots and pans because he doesn’t check his work. If I ask him to redo them, he reacts as though it’s a criticism and has an overthe-top fit.

At times like Thanksgiving I’m stressed out cooking for the family and would love his help, but it’s more trouble than it’s worth. Discussing it with him hasn’t been successful, and friends have told me they have the same problem. Can you provide a strategy that can keep us humming along happily with our husbands in the kitchen?

■ Calling Around Bradford

Bradford library gains art donation Lions Club members selling cheese this month How beautiful is our little town? The lamp posts give our town a nice quaint feel but now that they are decorated with greenery and lights they are just beautiful. This must also mean that our Christmas lovers the Francis’ are planning this years personal festival of lights.

I know that my family is certainly looking forward to driving by their house again and again this year. I’m sure my girls will be on the lookout for the Grinch.

Library news The Bradford Public Library has been the recipient of a beautifully framed art print. Recently, several Bradford residents visited Brown County, Ind. and were very impressed with Sally Kriner’s paintings.

Upon returning to Ohio, one of the ladies read Sally’s brochure and found out that she had been born in Bradford.

They contacted Sally and asked if they could come to her studio again and actually have a conversation with her. She readily agreed.

What was surprising was that Sally turned 100 years old early this year.

She is still very active and continues her painting. A long life of painting has no doubt contributed to Mrs. Kriner’s accomplished skill with brush and palette.

Born the oldest of nine children in Bradford, Sally’s dad worked for the Pennsylvania Railroad. the company When

HEATHER CANAN Columnist started consolidating in the early 1920s the family was transferred to Indianapolis. Sally Brant Kriner has studied and exhibited extensively, and is represented in many collections in the United States and abroad.

In Nashville, Ind., a narrow road twists and meanders into the woods until it comes to Kriner’s log cabin studio gallery overlooking the hills of Brown County. Here the artist paints many subjects, but devotes most of her time painting portraits of flowers.

The print was purchased by area residents Ginger Godfrey, Janice Sarver and Gloria Shafer and donated to the Bradford Public Library.

Cherie Roeth, library director, accepted this beautiful gift for the library.

Plans have been made to visit Sally Kriner again in order to gain more of her personal history and delight in her beautiful paintings.

Bradford Public Library will be closed on the following days during Thanksgiving and Christmas: Thursday, Nov. 24 and Saturday, Nov.26.

The library will be open normal operating hours on Friday, Nov. 25. Saturday, Dec. 24 and Monday, Dec. 26.

The library will be open for normal operating hours on Tuesday, Dec. 2.

Bradford Lions The Bradford Lions are

having a cheese sale during the month of November. More than 15 varieties of cheese are available for order from Holmes County and Northern Ohio. Orders will be taken through Dec. 5 with delivery in time for the Christmas holidays.

Contact Dennis Stryker 448-2126, Mike Myers 448-2667 or any other Lions member before the deadline.

This would make a great addition to your holiday celebration to share with family or friends or be a great gift for that difficult person who seems to have everything.

All profits will go toward Bradford Lions’ community projects, which includes helping the Bradford Resource Center.

Bradford residents who have old eyeglasses lying around are asked to donate them to the Bradford Lions for recycling. Collection boxes are available at Covington Savings and Loan, Bradford, Greenville National Bank, Bradford, the Bradford Public Library, the Bradford Schools, and in Covington, donations can be made at Fifth Third Bank, or the main branch of Covington Savings and Loan.

Just drop them off anytime and we will make sure they are put to good use.

If you have any questions about the eyeglasses program, contact Lion Bruce Smith at 4482285.

Please remember that our column prints every first and third Monday of the month. If you have something special to share please drop me an email to callingbradford@dailycall.com or call and leave a message at (937) 417-4317.

SIDNEY — Aunt Millie’s on Thursday donated 904 units of fresh bread and rolls to Agape Food Pantry in Sidney. Representatives from the food pantry picked up the donation at the Sidney bakery.

“In these tough economic times, more people need help than ever before,” said John Geissler, president of Agape Food Pantry. “With generous donations from caring companies such as Aunt Millie’s, we’re able to supply more people in our community with the food they need.”

Located in southwestern Ohio, on the Interstate 75 corridor at exit 92, Agape Distribution hosts one of the largest free grocery stores in Ohio, serving more than 2,000 individuals with more than 100,000 pounds of groceries each month. Clients choose food items from the panty’s shelves at no charge, with each person receiving about 70 pounds of food monthly.

HOROSCOPE Monday, Nov. 21, 2011 During the next year, an opportunity might develop for you to take advantage of a little-known program that could increase your financial wherewithal. If it checks out, go for it in a quiet manner.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Find yourself an environment that is free from outside interference, and you’ll have one of your more productive days. Shut the door and check your emails later.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Your farsightedness is remarkable, and it could help you visualize exactly the right game plan to follow.

Work on some future hopes that you’d like to bring into being.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — It’s not always possible, but your perspicuity could help you visualize what’s coming down the line, which will aid you in marshaling the appropriate forces.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Have confidence in your own convictions. If you believe you have a good idea for something, don’t let others discourage you from following through on it.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — Watch out for someone who tries to get you to change something that is of personal benefit in order to make it into a windfall for them. Of course, they won’t phrase it that way.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) — If you’re reluctant to make a necessary decision in a timely manner, someone whom you’d disapprove of is likely to step up and make that call for you.

Don’t let that happen.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Dedicate your time and effort to the tasks that you dislike doing the most. The relief it would give you will be a huge weight off your shoulders.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — Even if you have a full schedule planned, try to find a bit of time to enjoy a momentarily pleasurable pursuit. The relief would give you the energy to happily continue onward.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) — Try not to get yourself involved in a project that once started demands to be finished. If you do, make sure your entire day is cleared to do nothing else.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — If you learn that some information you have at your disposal would be of tremendous help to another, do your best to get it to that person. Chances are you’d make a friend for life.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Being prudent is likely to ensure that you’ll be able to enjoy success and the finer things down the line. When that time comes, you’ll be glad of your sensible behavior.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Once you make an important, carefully considered decision, have the courage of your convictions to stand by your resolution. Being wishy-washy won’t help anyone.

Shae Doll led the team with a 304, followed closely by Hayley Ryan with 301.

“The team is very young this year and this was a good match for us to see where we stand,” Piqua coach Craig Miller said. “I would have expected higher scores since we were at home; however we have only had four practices this season.

“We will have to get better at covering our spares if we want to compete in the GWOC this year.”

HOMESTEAD, Fla. (AP) — Tony Stewart insisted he wasn't a title contender when NASCAR's championship race began.

When it became clear he actually was a viable threat, he kicked it into another gear and vowed to go for broke in his pursuit of Carl Edwards.

Did he ever.

Stewart used a powerful and relentless drive — some might suggest the best in NASCAR history — on Sunday in the season finale to seize his third NASCAR championship. He overcame a hole in the grill of his Chevrolet, a rain delay, used debatable fuel strategy and made 116 passes on the track to win at Homestead-Miami Speedway.

Edwards led the most laps — 119 of the 267 — but finished a helpless second. The two ended up tied in the final Sprint Cup points standings, but

Stewart's five victories — all in the chase — to Edwards' one gave him the championship.

Stewart became the first owner/driver to win the championship since the late Alan Kulwicki in 1992, and the driver to end Jimmie Johnson's record five-year title run.

"Are you kidding me?"

Stewart asked in Victory Lane. "We said all week we'd just go out and win the race and didn't have to worry about what he did.

If this doesn't go down as one of the greatest championship battles in history, I don't know what will."

If this doesn't go down as one of the greatest championship battles in history, I don't know what is."

Edwards was disappointed but held his head high after the race.

"This night is about Tony Stewart. Those guys rose to the occasion and they beat us fair and square," Edwards said.

Cleveland wins thriller over Jacksonville Browns’ defense finishes game with goal-line stand CLEVELAND (AP) — Colt McCoy took a knee on sideline, Cleveland's closed his eyes and the young quarterback asked for some help from above.

This week, the Browns got it.

"There's nothing wrong with praying," McCoy said.

Jacksonville rookie quarterback Blaine Gabbert's pass into the end zone on the game's last play was incomplete, allowing the Browns to escape with a 14-10 win over the Jaguars on Sunday.

As McCoy watched helplessly, Gabbert rifled

a 3-yard pass high over the middle that was off the mark and caromed off wide receiver Mike Thomas' outstretched hands, and the Browns (46) celebrated a win they nearly gave away.

"We deserved this one," McCoy said. "Our team deserved this."

Last week, the Browns lost 13-12 to the St. Louis Rams when Cleveland botched a snap and reliable kicker Phil Dawson missed a 22-yard field goal try. This one nearly ended under similar circumstances as Jacksonville's final drive was

set up by Dawson missing a 38-yarder that sailed over the top of the right post.

"Everybody played their hearts out and it's about time it went our way," said linebacker Browns D'Qwell Jackson, who covered Thomas tightly on the final play. "We knew it was up to us. Right there.

We had to make the play and we did."

McCoy shook off an apparent shoulder injury and threw a 3-yard TD pass to Josh Cribbs in the fourth to give Cleveland a 14-10 lead. But Dawson's stunning miss with 2:49

left gave the Jaguars (3-7) a final chance and Gabbert, who had some good and bad moments, nearly pulled off the comeback.

"It's not the ending we were looking for," said Jaguars coach Jack Del Rio, who defended his use of the clock in the final minute. "It's not the first time this year we've had the opportunity. We're really looking for that breakout, game-winning drive. We had a chance for our quarterback to take us down. He took us down.

We were knocking on the door. We just couldn't close it out."

Chris Ogbonnaya rushed for 115 yards and scored on a 1-yard run for Cleveland, ending a TD drought at home that lasted more than 158 minutes.

The Browns had scoring drives of 87 and 85 yards, rarities in the offense's first season under coach Pat Shurmur.

But Shurmur knows he can count on his defense, and the Browns' didn't disappoint.

"I did trust that we would get them stopped," Shurmur said. "I trust our defense."

The Browns appeared

in control when Dawson booted his 38-yarder toward the goal post. However, the officials standing directly under the uprights ruled the high kick went wide right.

Dawson argued that his kick should have counted, but referee Terry McAulay announced the attempt could not be reviewed because it sailed above the post.

"The way we saw it was part of the ball was outside of the outside edge of the upright," said McAulay, whose crew had a few other tough calls to make.

Another chapter to season Ravens hold off OSU comes up short in loss to Penn State Bengals 31-24

BY JIM NAVEAU Lima News

COLUMBUS – There is no textbook that tells how to survive a season like Ohio State’s football team has gone through this fall.

There are just individual chapters, written on the fly, the latest of which was the Buckeyes’ 20-14 loss to Penn State on Saturday at Ohio Stadium.

Penn State (9-2, 6-1 Big Ten) jumped out to a 10point lead in the game’s first 10 minutes and OSU never caught up.

It was the fourth straight game Ohio State has fallen behind early and the seventh time overall this season that it had to try to play catch-up from an early deficit.

This latest chapter looked a lot like some of the earlier ones.

Ohio State (6-5, 3-4 Big Ten) faced adversity, battled hard, but in the end was done in by the other team being just a little better and by its own mistakes.

Stephfon Green rushed for 93 yards and scored two touchdowns to lead Penn State to its first victory in the post-Joe Paterno Era. With a win at Wisconsin this Saturday, Penn State would win the Big Ten’s Leaders Division and advance to the Big Ten’s first conference championship game. But if the Badgers win, they’ll go to the championship game.

Freshman quarterback Braxton Miller rushed for 105 yards on 18 carries and had a hand in both Ohio State touchdowns.

He rushed 24 yards for a TD in the second quarter, then hit tight end Jake Stoneburner with a 7-yard pass for the Buckeyes’ other score.

Ohio State got the last available piece of the puzzle back on Saturday when senior wide receiver DeVier Posey (4 catches, 66 yards) played for the first time this season after serving a 10-game suspension.

But even that wasn’t enough to push OSU over the top against a Penn State team dealing with even more adversity than the Buckeyes have faced this season.

Defenses were expected to dominate and they did in the second half.

All the scoring came in the first two quarters.

Two weeks ago, Ohio State still had hopes of winning the Leaders Division and playing for the Big Ten title and a trip to the Rose Bowl.

Now after back-to-back losses to Purdue and Penn State, it must focus on its trip to Michigan this Saturday and trying to play its way into a bowl that is not too far from the bright lights of the bowls it has

Center Mike Brewster says it is possible the constant battles against adversity have taken a toll on the Buckeyes in recent games.

“You want to say, ‘No,’ but I’m sure at some point (it does). At the end of the day, we’re college kids and we’ve been through so much,” Brewster said.

“That’s not an excuse but it is a fact.

“It’s amazing how this team has stuck together through everything and that’s what I’ll remember most abougt this team – staying together like we have.”

Probably the Buckeyes’ finest hour was a goal line stand in the third quarter when Penn State had a first-down at OSU’s twoyard line.

On first and second down, running back Michael Zordich carried the ball but was stopped short of the goal line.

Quarterback Matt McGloin carried on third down and was stopped, then running back Silas Redd was stuffed on fourth down when he attempted to dive over the line.

A touchdown would have put Penn State up and probably sealed OSU’s fate early.

“We just dug deep down in ourselves and stopped

them,” defensive tackle Johnathan Hankins said.

“We just knew we had to stop them.

“It was going to be the turning point of the game if they got it.”

The goal line heroics were preceded and followed by costly Ohio State mistakes.

Penn State began that series at Ohio State’s 11yard line when Dan Herron fumbled as he attempted to hand off to Jordan Hall in the wildcat formation, where the ball is snapped directly to a running back, not the quarterback.

Then four plays after the big stop, Carlos Hyde fumbled the ball away to Penn State at OSU’s 46yard line.

The idea this was destined to be a low-scoring game looked like it was going to be dispelled when Penn State took a 20-14 lead.

The Nittany Lions came into Saturday with the 10th-ranked offense in the Big Ten and Ohio State was No. 11.

But Penn State scored the first three times it had the football and had three plays of 38 yards or more in the first two quarters.

After taking the opening kickoff, Penn State went up six plays later on a 39-yard run by Green.

The next time the Nit-

tany Lions got the ball, Anthony Fera’s 43-yard field goal made it 10-0.

Ohio State responded with a 10-play, 77-yard drive that ended with a 24-yard scoring run by Miller to cut the lead to 10-7.

Penn State pushed the lead back to 10 points at 17-7 when Green’s 4-yard run was the final play in an 81-yard drive.

A pass interception by Orian Johnson set OSU up at Penn State’s 37-yard line and it took only four plays until Miller hit tight end Stoneburner with a 7yard scoring pass.

But Penn State’s Fera’s kicked a 46-yard field goal (the longest of his career) as time ran out in the first half to give Penn State a 20-14 lead.

“This win isn’t about me, it’s about the players and this team,” interim Penn State coach Tom Bradley said. “I don’t think any team in the history of college football has been through so much in such a short time period.

And to hang in there and fight their way through is great.”

Bradley replaced Paterno, who was fired after 46 seasons as Penn State’s coach for failing to aggressively pursue allegations of sexual abuse of children aby former Penn State assistant coach Jerry Sandusky.

BALTIMORE (AP) — An uncharacteristic performance by the Baltimore Ravens defense was offset by an uncommonly effective outing by Joe Flacco and the team's oft-criticized offense.

Flacco threw for 270 yards and two touchdowns, rookie Torrey Smith had six catches for 165 yards, and Baltimore moved into first place in the AFC North with a nerve-racking 3124 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday.

Playing without middle linebacker Ray Lewis for the first time in 58 games, the Ravens (7-3) nearly blew a 17-point lead in the final 14 minutes, yielded 483 yards and let rookie quarterback Andy Dalton throw for 373.

But Baltimore got 104 yards rushing and two touchdowns from Ray Rice, and the defense made big plays when it counted most.

After Rice was stuffed on a third-and-1 with just over two minutes left, he remained confident.

"I just looked at the clock and I said, 'Our defense will get it done,'" he recalled. "That's the faith I have in our guys."

Even without Lewis, who watched from the sideline after being placed on the inactive list with a toe injury.

The Ravens' spiritual leader and leading tackler saw his unit pick off three passes and turn in a game-saving goal-line stand in the final minute.

Down 31-24, Cincinnati reached the Baltimore 7 before Terrell Suggs collared Dalton, who was called for intentional grounding.

On fourth-and-goal, Dalton was sacked by Pernell McPhee.

The Bengals (6-4) needed seven points because on the previous series, an apparent 9-yard touchdown pass from Dalton to Jermaine Gresham was overturned by a replay that determined the receiver didn't hold onto the ball at the end of a juggling catch.

The Bengals settled for a field goal with 5:32 remaining.

"When the receiver went to the ground, he had the ball in his right hand," referee Ron Winter said. "The ball touched the ground and his hand came off the ball."

Baltimore is locked in a first-place tie with Pittsburgh in the AFC North, but the Ravens own the tiebreaker by virtue of their two wins over the Steelers.

"No. 1 in the division, that's huge," Suggs said.

"Now we're the master of our destiny."

Even though it wasn't a banner day for the defense, the three interceptions set up two touchdowns.

"Whenever we can get turnovers, it definitely makes everybody's job easier," cornerback Cary Williams said. "It's just being able to capitalize on opportunities, and we did that today."

Dalton went 24 for 45 with a touchdown.

U.S. wins fourth-straight President’s Cup Furyk goes 5-0; Woods clinches cup with singles win Furyk, coming off his worst season since he was a PGA Tour rookie, joined Woods, Shigeki Maruyama and Mark O'Meara as the only players to record a 5-0 record in the Presidents Cup. Furyk made an eagle on the par-5 second and beat Ernie Els 4 and 3.

"I felt better about my game than what I've been playing this year, and I kind of want to thank my partners," said Furyk, who won three matches with Phil Mickelson and another with Nick Watney.

Mickelson, 3-0 going into singles, conceded the first three holes to Adam

Scott and conceded another hole at the eighth to fall 4 down. He rallied far too late and lost, 2 and 1.

Couples wasn't planning on Furyk winning all his matches. Then again, nothing ever surprises him.

"We needed it. He was a leader," Couples said. "He and Phil told me, which was very odd — I wasn't planning on it on Tuesday night — that they wanted to play together.

“And they rode and rode and rode. Jimmy going 50 is great. It's cool. It's unique.

“It's fun. And I think he's happy, as the rest of

Tiger Woods hits the ball Sunday.

ize that he can play the game."

He can celebrate, too.

Woods took his turn in joining in the Fanatics, the Aussie group that goes to big sporting events.

Woods even donned one of their green caps and slapped hands in the crowd.

It was a small measure of revenge for the Americans, whose only lost came at Royal Melbourne in 1998. And it was vindication for Couples, who said a month early that he was taking Woods because he was the "best player forever."

International captain Greg Norman got in on the debate, saying he would have taken PGA champion Keegan Bradley over Woods.

"He stepped up to the plate. He putted extremely well," Norman said. "Any player hates to see another great player struggle, because we all know what it's like to go through the ins and outs of the game. At the end of the day, you want to see the player who has dominated the game come back."

As for Couples' taking

Woods over Bradley?

"I did make those comments," Norman said. "I probably still would have gone for Keegan Bradley because he's a major champion."

The International team's only win came 13 years ago at Royal Melbourne, when the Americans suffered their biggest loss in any team competition. There was no repeat this time, not even close.

The Americans led after each session, and their 139 lead going into the final session Sunday was too much for the International team to overcome, even with a loud and boisterous Australian crowd behind it.

Ryo Ishikawa, Charl Schwartzel, K.T. Kim and Geoff Ogilvy got the International side going. But the outcome was never seriously in doubt. Furyk, David Toms and Woods were at the bottom of the lineup, and none ever trailed.

Toms routed Robert Allenby, 7 and 5, giving the Australian a dubious distinction. He joined John Huston as the only captain's picks to not win a single point.

Not so happy was an International team that can't figure out how to win.

"It's disappointing to not get the cup this year, but to have this event here at home, it has been a fantastic week and one I'll remember for my whole career," Scott said. "We played hard. I think it's just a really demanding golf course.

“No matter how good you are, on this course it's just too hard to hit the ball well to get it around here.

And they might have done it just a little bit better than us this week."

MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) — The Americans returned Down Under and this time wound up on top in the Presidents Cup. Jim Furyk became the fourth player to win all five of his matches, and the bottom half of the lineup was strong enough Sunday to give the Americans their fourth straight win in this lopsided series.

Perhaps it was only fitting that Tiger Woods clinched the cup for the second straight time.

U.S. captain Fred Couples was criticized for using a pick on Woods, who had been out with an injury most of the summer and had not won since his personal life crumbled two years ago. Woods played well all week, even if he didn't always get rewarded with a point. In his singles match against Aaron Baddeley, he was never seriously challenged.

Woods closed out Baddeley, 4 and 3, and the celebration was on. The only left was for Steve Stricker in the anchor match to beat Y.E. Yang for the final score, 19-15.

"I was hoping it wasn't going to come down to us," Woods said. I was hoping that Stricks and I could take a victory lap back here. But we didn't get off to a good start early. I was telling Joey (LaCava) on the range, 'It's probably going to come down to the last four matches.' We needed to get our point, so we went out there and played really well today and put a lot of heat on Badds."

Couples said Woods was ready to go all week at Royal Melbourne.

"He was ready for a month," Couples said.

"Certainly, I couldn't answer how he was going to play, but this week I think he showed to himself that his swing is back and he's healthy, and that's more important to me. Obviously, we want to win the cup, but's more important for me to have people real-
