Hometown Halloween parade returns Saturday Melanie Yingst Staff Writer

Authorities capture 2 Fla. prisoners at motel Two convicted killers who were freed from prison by phony documents were captured together without incident Saturday night at a Panama City motel, authorities said.

Joseph Jenkins and Charles Walker, both 34, were taken into custody about 6:40 p.m. at the Coconut Grove Motor Inn. They were apprehended several hours after their family members held a news conference urging the men to turn themselves in.

The Florida Department of Law Enforcement did not immediately release any other details about their capture or its investigation.

A woman who answered the phone at the motel said she saw police coming and they went into room 227. The woman, who didn’t want to give her name, said authorities didn’t stop by the office before they moved in.

476,000 Obamacare applications filed Administration officials say about 476,000 health insurance applications have been filed through federal and state exchanges, the most detailed measure yet of the problem-plagued rollout of President Barack Obama’s signature legislation.

However, the officials continue to refuse to say how many people have actually enrolled in the insurance markets. Without enrollment figures, it’s unclear whether the program is on track to reach the 7 million people projecting by the Congressional Budget Office to gain coverage during the six-month signup period.

Obama’s advisers say the president has been frustrated by the flawed rollout. During one of his daily health care briefings last week, he told advisers assembled in the Oval Office that the administration had to own up to the fact that there were no excuses for not having the website ready to operate as promised.

The president is expected to address the problems on Monday during a health care event at the White House. Cabinet members and other top administration officials will also be traveling around the country in the coming weeks to encourage sign-ups in areas with the highest population of uninsured people.

Why flu prevention Miami County Health department offering flu shots matters Colin Foster

Colin Foster

Staff Writer

Staff Writer

TROY — In Miami County Health commissioner Chris Cook’s eyes, getting a flu shot is one of the most important things people can do right now.

There’s no reason to dance around it or make excuses — getting a flu shot is something people need to make time for. “I think it’s something they just don’t make time for,� said Cook, who is in his third year as commissioner. “I think everyone is pressed for time, I know I am, and I think people just don’t make time for it in their week to get the shot. “We all need to start thinking about flu shots — young and old. It’s that time of year to boost your protection and stay safe — folks need to make time for this.�

Ask anyone at the Miami County Public Health Department — and they would tell you the same thing.

Cook pointed out that in the last 20 years, influenza has been the No. 7 cause of death in the United States, with a

Miami County Health commissioner Chris Cook has a lot on his plate these days with work and family.

But one of the more important things at the moment is flu prevention.

For Cook, encouraging people to prevent the spread of the flu is every bit as important as actually getting the vaccine. “I truly believe that we can help control the flu season with some simple prevention,� said Cook.

Miami County Public Health recommends four flu prevention activities: 1) Stay home if you are sick, and make sure your fever is gone before going back out. 2) Cover youth mouth and nose with your arm when you cough or sneeze. 3) Wash your hands and use hand sanitizer often. 4) Avoid sick people whenver possible.

Cook said that one of the toughest aspects of prevention is to sell yourself on staying home from work, school or other activities if you are sick. “This is a hard one, since most of us have been raised to ‘tough it out’ if we are sick and it’s just flat out hard to miss work these days,� he said. “But I can’t stress enough how important it is to stay home if you are sick. Your actions during flu season affect everyone else around you.�

There is a fine line between a cold and the flu, and Cook also wanted to stress the importance of knowing the difference. “When you get the flu, it hits you like a ton of bricks — you are knocked down,�

Cook said.

Brenda Causey receives a quadrivalent flu vaccine from Barb Stormer, R.N., at Miami County Public Health Friday in Troy.

yearly average of 36,000 to 48,000 deaths. He also pointed out that four years ago the H1N1 flu virus alone resulted in over 12,000 deaths in the U.S. Prior to this year, the shot provided protection against three strains of flu. But now the shot, which is offered in a wide variety of ways, protects against four strains of flu viruses.

“The new quadrivalent vaccine is a big improvement,� Cook said. “It offers more protection than ever this year.�

Last year’s flu season was moderately severe, and Cook stressed the importance of being ready this year. The flu vaccine is strongly recommended for everyone ages six months and older. “The virus changes

often, and you need to get your boost of protection each and every year,� he said.

Cook said he realizes that flu shots are readily available.Even though that is the case, he went on to explain that there are obvious advantages to getting it from the M.C. Public Health Department. • See SHOT on page A2

TROY – Those looking for to stock up their bookshelves for a cold Ohio winter should head to the ‌ hospital.

The UVMC Volunteer Auxiliary will hold a book sale Monday through Thursday in the UVMC cafeteria.

The sale offers savings of up to 70 percent on new premium quality hardcover books. According to Robin Fisher, volunteer services and gift shop manager, many of the books that will be offered will include recent New York Times best-sellers.

She said a variety of other books on

Greeting cards and a variety of other small items also will be available for purchase, Fisher said.

She said the sale has been held in the spring and fall each year for at least the past 10 years. “It’s usually a pretty big draw since it’s open to the public,� Fisher said. “Especially in the fall.�

She said they will take cash, check or charge during the event.

Proceeds benefit the auxiliary’s work through the Volunteer Auxiliary Fund, which is run by a board, she

said. The auxiliary has 164 current active members.

Fisher said over the years, the auxiliary has helped the hospital purchase equipment, revamped the hospital wheelchairs and pay for the installation of lighting and trees along the driveway entrance.

Miami Valley Sunday News • www.troydailynews.com

Armed gun rights activists rally at the Alamo that read “Come and Take It,” others dressed in period costumes, but most looked like anyone else one might encounter on the street, they just happened to be carrying rifles.

Men strolling through the streets with rifles isn’t an image to which Hilary Rand thinks people should have to grow accustomed.

Rand, a regional manager for Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America, was at a counter-demonstration about a half mile away.

Amid hula-hoops and face painting, Rand called the gun rights rally “bullying” and said it may serve opponents’ interest as well.

“If anything, they’re just alerting the general public that this is something that needs to be changed,” she said. “Just because you can do something doesn’t mean that it’s OK and that you should. And if anything they’re helping to make that argument for us.” She said the threat of an accidental discharge was too great to justify gun rights advocates making their point.

For the tourists who just happened upon the rally — 2.5 million visit the Alamo annually — there was initial trepidation among some.

Mark Roberts, 63, of London, Ontario, was among a group of Canadian tourists caught off guard.

“We’re not used to seeing guns carried openly in Canada, so that was almost like a culture shock,” Roberts said, noting that it appeared well organized. It was more unnerving for his wife.

“I didn’t like it at all because you don’t know who you’re dealing with,” Julie Roberts said. “You don’t know who these people are.”

Another member of their group, Peter Hinch, declared it “fantastic,” but was dismissed by his friends as not your typical Canadian.

It didn’t give Don Norwood, 49, of Little Rock, Ark., any pause. Norwood, who was visiting the Alamo with his wife and daughter, hadn’t expected the demonstration, but gazing over the crowd, he said, “it’s healthy, that’s what America’s about.”

Asked if it made him nervous to approach the old

mission chapel through the armed crowd, Norwood said, “No, they’re not a threat to me.”

The rally proceeded peacefully without incident.

For some, such as 27-yearold Colt Szczygiel, a retired U.S. Marine rifleman who just moved in September to Converse, Texas, from Connecticut, the rally was also his first visit to the Alamo. He toured the grounds reading plaques laying out the site’s history with his Bushmaster ACR rifle hanging from his shoulder.

“It’s great to be able to come here with my rifle for the first time,” he said.

Texas’ gun-friendly culture made the move all the more attractive coming from Waterbury, Conn., he said.

He had participated in gun rights rallies there, but this was his first in Texas.

Lee Spencer White, president of the Alamo Defenders’ Descendants Association, said her group considers the Alamo its family cemetery and as hallowed ground should remain free of demonstrations, which historically have been held on the adjacent plaza.

From 1905 to 2011, the Daughters of the Republic of Texas were the Alamo’s custodians. But in 2011, lawmakers gave the state’s General Land office control of the monument where Col. William Travis and 200 Texas defenders famously died in a siege with the Mexican army in 1836. It was Land Commissioner Jerry Patterson who approved the rally here.

“I respect the opinions of folks who say this is not the right place,” Patterson said to the crowd on Saturday.

“But I submit to you there’s one standard we should apply to gatherings here at this sacred cradle of Texas liberty and that is whether our activity and our purpose would be supported by those men who gave it all.”

Patterson, who is running for lieutenant governor, asked attendees to not block the path to the mission and to leave their rifles and signs outside when entering the chapel. “Even though you can lawfully do that, we have a reverence for that location where those men died.”

Gun rights advocates gather at the Alamo in San Antonio, Texas on Saturday to demonstrate in support of a Texas law that permits the open carry of long arms, such as rifles and shotguns. Organizers said a local ordinance restricting the carrying of firearms in public conflicts with state law.

FLU From page A1 Symptoms of the flu include feeling feverish, headache, sore throat, body aches, tiredness, runny nose and cough.

Cook advised that if you have a mild case of the flu that you are better off to treat yourself at home.

People should contact their doctor if they have any of these symptoms: trouble breathing, sudden dizziness, confusion, not drinking enough fluids, bluish or gray skin color, severe vomiting, pain/

pressure in the chest. He also advised that people should see a doctor if symptoms improve then return with fever or cough.

“I’ve been asked how bad I think this flu season will be,” Cook said. “I’m not sure, but I can tell you that it depends on the choices people make.

If people are responsible and get vaccinated, cover their coughs and sneezes, if they wash their hands, and if they stay at home

when they’re sick, it will make a huge difference.”

But of course, the best way to avoid getting sick is getting a flu shot — plain and simple.

And Cook isn’t just blowing smoke when he stresses the importance of getting vaccinated either.

Just last week, Cook, his wife, twin daughters and his parents all went in and got flu shots. colinfoster@civitasmedia.com

Shot From page A1 “We offer a variety of flu vaccines — the regular shot, the nasal mist, the intradermal and the high does for seniors,” he said. “You can’t get those kind of options everywhere.”

Another thing people can’t get everywhere is a nursing staff that includes 85 years of experience.

“I always say when doctors or pharmacies have questions about vaccines,

they call us,” Cook said.

“Our nurses have 85 years of experience giving vaccines — that’s tens of thousands of shots,” Cook said, “Not everyone who offers flu shots can offer that kind of expertise and knowledge. Why would you go anywhere else?”

SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Several hundred gun rights activists armed with rifles and shotguns rallied Saturday outside of the Alamo in a demonstration that broke a longstanding tradition of not staging such events at the enduring symbol of Texas independence.

The “Come and Take It San Antonio!” rally was intended to draw attention to a right Texans already have — to carry long arms publicly so long as they don’t do it in a menacing manner.

Organizers thought it necessary to offer a reminder after several open carry advocates were threatened with arrest at a Starbucks in the city two months ago.

The problem remains that a local ordinance effectively limits the open carrying of firearms to police and security guards.

That ordinance was not enforced Saturday.

San Antonio Police Chief William McManus mingled in the crowd that police estimated at about 300 to 400, but the larger police presence remained around the perimeter of the Alamo plaza.

“There are too many issues associated with trying to enforce every ordinance here today,” McManus said.

He said his priority was that people be able to exercise their constitutional rights and that everyone remain safe. Volunteers walked through the crowd placing red plastic straws in rifle chambers, a visible assurance they were not holding a round.

Rally organizers said just holding their demonstration in front of police without incident was a victory. “(The San Antonio Police Department) is no longer going to be messing with us,” said C.J. Grisham, president of Open Carry Texas, with the Alamo’s famed Spanish mission behind him.

Organizers had also hoped that seeing a large peaceful gathering of armed citizens in the downtown of the country’s seventh largest city would be a step toward making people comfortable with the sight. There were people of all ages in the crowd, including young children. Some waved flags

Center for Miami County Government.

The health department accepts Medicare Part B and almost all insurances. They also accept cash, checks and credit or debit cards, including heath savings cards, as payment.

Traditional injectable shots are available, as are nasal mist and intradermal vaccine, Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. The health department also offers special evening clinics for children each month.

Eastern Star named excellent chapter Staff Reports

TIPP CITY — The Tippecanoe Chapter No. 307 Order of the Eastern Star was recently presented with a “Chapter Excellence Award” at the statewide meeting of the Grand Chapter of Ohio.

Tippecanoe was one of 40 Eastern Star chapters selected to receive the award on the basis of charity and community service, chapter social activities, the performance of chapter officers and success in attracting new members. Each winning chapter received a walnut sounding block with an engraved silver plate to be used on the podium of the chapter’s presiding officer.

One of the reasons Tippecanoe specifically got the award was for the following: giving four $1,000 scholarships; giving to many Eastern Star and Masonic chari-

ties — cancer, heart, Shriner’s Hospital, Special Olympics; and doing many community projects — Tipp Monroe Community Services, Needy Baskets and Veterans Memorial.

The Chapter Excellence program was initiated last year to reward Easter Star chapters for their efforts to demonstrate the principles of the Order.

Applications for the Chapter Excellence awards were reveiwed by state officers and committee members.

They were presented by Worthy Grand Matron Barbara Pelfrey and Worthy Grand Patron Ron Keller at ceremonies in the Dayton Convention Center. Carol and Ted Eshelman, the current Worthy Matron and Worthy Patron of Tippecanoe Chapter 307, accepted the sounding block on behalf of the chapter.

PERSPECTIVE

Troy Daily News EDITORIAL

Trojans need your support now more than ever

For more than a century, Troy has prided itself on being a “football town.”

For decades, fans have flocked to Troy Memorial Stadium to celebrate the exploits of legends such as Ryan Brewer, Bob Ferguson, Kris Dielman, Gordon Bell … and the list goes on and on. There was a time not too long ago — as recently as when Brewer and Dielman played in the late 1990s, when getting to the stadium less than 90 minutes before the game meant not getting a seat in a 10,000-seat stadium.

It was Brewer himself who once said, “If you ever want to rob a house in Troy, do it on a Friday night in the fall — everyone will be at the football game.”

And for so many years, the Trojans rewarded its fans with countless wins, league titles and playoff appearances. For all intents and purposes, the Troy football team was the biggest show in town. Troy Memorial Stadium felt like the host site for a family reunion — it was where you went to see people and be seen by people. You may not see close friends the rest of the year — but for 10 weeks, you knew you would see them every Friday night at the football game.

All was right with the world.

Those days — at least for the time being — are starting to seem like a thing of the past. At 2-6 and on the heels of the worst defeat in school history — a 72-6 loss to Trotwood-Madison Friday — the Trojans are struggling this season.

Will Troy ever return to its former glory? It’s hard to imagine it won’t. There are too many people in this town who care about Troy football and what it represents to simply let the tradition die a slow, painful death.

We at the Troy Daily News feel it is only a matter of time before order is restored and teams are once again fearful to step off the bus and play the Trojans.

But for now, things are not well with Troy football.

Which is why the Trojans need your support now more than ever.

Now is the time for all Troy

football fans to prove that Troy truly is a “football town” and not just a “winning town.” It’s easy to claim to be a fan of any sport when the team is winning. It’s a little more difficult to prove that when the team is going through a down period. It’s easy to show up to the stadium on Friday nights and support a winner. It’s a little more difficult to do so when things aren’t going the team’s way.

But now is when the team needs your support more than ever.

The Trojans have two more games remaining this season — both home contests, one against Greenville and then again the following week against Piqua. We sincerely hope the fans — the same folks who claim to love the team and support it through thick and thin — prove their devotion to this team. We hope those same fans pack Troy Memorial Stadium and make it a hostile environment for opposing teams.

The kids on this year’s team have not quit. They have continued to show up for practice every day, arrive ready to play on Friday nights and then get up early again on Saturday mornings in the weight room and film sessions.

While the results may not have been what anyone has wanted to see, the kids have continued to give their hearts and souls to this program.

They have not quit on you — we hope you do not quit on them.

We hope the final two games of the season see Troy Memorial Stadium awash in a sea of red and gray. We hope to hear thousands of fans in full throat, cheering on their beloved Trojans these final two weeks. We hope Troy fans turn back the clock and make Greenville and Piqua feel like it is 1998 all over again. We hope the kids on Troy’s football team who have given so much to be a part of something special are able to look up into the stands and see thousands of people who love them, who support them and who are there for them.

We hope, in the final two weeks of the season, Troy is able to prove it truly is a “football town.”

The defunding debacle in the United States of America The Republican push to defund Obamacare defied the strategic wisdom of the ages.

“Avoid what is strong,” Sun Tzu advised, “to strike what is weak.” According to Machiavelli, “Prudence consists in knowing how to recognize the nature of the different dangers and in accepting the least bad as good.”

Von Moltke defined victory as achieving “the highest goal attainable with available means.”

In contravention of all these axioms, the defunders stormed the barricades at their strongest point. They exhibited no willingness to distinguish among bad options or appreciation for what was really achievable. At best, their approach was a highrisk, low-reward strategy. As it turns out, there wasn’t even any reward.

The shutdown fight has been interesting in its particulars but dull in its overall trajectory, which was so predictable that the news stories on the endgame almost could have been filed in advance. Jack Germond and Jules Witcover called their book on the 1984 presidential election “Wake Us When It’s Over.”

Conference, which gives them control of … the House Republican Conference. House Republicans went through weeks of contortions that had more to do with intra-Republican politics and small differences in tactics magnified into matters of principle than achieving any larger purpose.

An initial plan promoted by House Majority Leader Eric Cantor simply to force a vote on defunding in the Senate and then move to a clean continuing resolution was blasted by defunders as empty symbolism.

After a few weeks of political pain, Republicans ended up in the same place: The House voted on a defunding provision that was quickly pushed aside by the Senate, and it was forced to accept an essentially clean continuing resolution.

Now, the same defunders who argued that Obamacare would be unrepealable beginning Oct. 1 with the opening of the exchanges are vowing to fight on against the health-care law— as they should. It will be a long fight, requiring not just passion and principle but also a little strategic wisdom.

Former Oilers coach Bum Phillips dies at 90 Obituaries in the AFC Championship game in Campbell’s rookie year. The Oilers returned to the game the following season only to be beaten again by the Steelers, this time 27-13.

The Oilers went 11-5 in 1980 but lost to Oakland in the AFC wild-card round and Phillips was fired. He was 55-35 with the team in the regular season.

Fans loved his no-nonsense demeanor and were entertained by his often blunt comments “Football is a game of failure,” Phillips was quoted as saying. “You fail all the time, but you aren’t a failure until you start blaming someone else.”

Among his best Bumisms: “There’s two kinds of coaches, them that’s fired and them that’s gonna be fired.” On Miami Dolphins coach Don Shula: “He can take his’n and beat your’n and take your’n and beat his’n.” On Campbell’s inability to finish a mile run: “When it’s firstand-a-mile, I won’t give it to him.”

On Campbell: “I don’t know if he’s in a class by himself, but I do know that when that class gets together, it sure don’t take long to call the roll.”

He left Texas to coach the Saints in 1981, going 27-42 before retiring after the 1985 season.

“We are saddened by the passing of Bum Phillips,” Saints owner Tom Benson said in a statement released by the team. “I had the opportunity to work with him when I first purchased the team in 1985 and also enjoyed our friendship following his coaching career. Our thoughts and

prayers go out to his wife Debbie, Wade and the rest of his family.”

Phillips played football at Lamar Junior College before joining the Marines during World War II. After the war he went to Stephen F. Austin where he played two more football seasons before graduating with a degree in education in 1949.

He spent about two decades coaching in high schools and colleges mostly in Texas — he assisted the likes of Bear Bryant at Texas A&M, Bill Yeoman at Houston, and Hayden Fry at SMU — before making the jump to the AFL in 1967 as an assistant under Sid Gillman with the San Diego Chargers. Phillips came to Houston in 1974 as Gillman’s defensive coordinator and became coach and general manager when Gillman resigned after that season.

Phillips picked up the nickname Bum as a child when his younger sister couldn’t pronounce brother correctly and it sounded like bum.

He embraced the nickname and was quoted as saying: “I don’t mind being called Bum, just as long as you don’t put a ‘you’ in front of it.”

Phillips did some work as an analyst on television and radio football broadcasts for a bit before retiring to his ranch in Goliad.

Although he left Houston, he always remained fond of the city.

The Oilers moved to Tennessee and became the Titans in 1997 and Houston returned to the NFL in 2002 when the Texans began play.

the elder statesman of the state’s Republican Party and in the U.S. House of Representatives. In recent years, Young became increasingly frail and relied on a wheelchair. He was quoted by The Tampa Tribune recently as saying that his decision to retire and not seek re-election in 2014 was based on both his health and a desire to spend more time with his family.

His chief of staff, Harry Glenn, said in an email that Young died at 6:50 p.m. at Walter Reed Medical Center in Bethesda, Md., where he had been for nearly two weeks with back problems that stemmed from a 1970 small plane crash. The email included a statement from Young’s family, saying relatives were with Young when he died from complications related to a chronic injury.

The congressman was a longtime member of the House Appropriations Committee, where he focused on military spending. He and his wife frequently visited ailing service members at hospitals in the Washington area.

According to the newspaper, the congressman received a call Wednesday from former President George W. Bush, who thanked Young for his support of the military.

President Barack Obama issued a statement saying Young “will be remembered for his advocacy and support for the armed forces, service members, and their families as well as his statesmanship and long history of working across the aisle to keep our country moving forward.”

House Defense subcommittee Chairman Rep. C.W. Bill Young, R-Fla., presides over the subcommittee’s hearing on the Army’s fiscal 2012 budget on Capitol Hill in Washington. Young, Florida’s longest-serving member of Congress and a defense hawk who was influential on military spending during his 43 years in Washington, died Friday, Oct. 18, 2013. He was 82.

said in a written statement, “As Florida’s longest serving member of Congress, Bill will be remembered as a true statesman and champion for the Tampa Bay area.”

Former Gov. Charlie Crist lives in a part of St. Petersburg that used to be in Young’s district before the lines were redrawn. During his time as governor, Crist said he considered Young for a U.S. Senate appointment, though ultimately chose someone else.

“He was an absolute giant in Florida politics,” Crist said. “He was a true gentleman, kind to all.”

Florida Republican Party Chairman Lenny Curry said Young “always stood up for the Sunshine State and fought for the best interests of its citizens.”

His counterpart, state Democratic Party Chair Allison Tant said in a statement that for more than 40 years, “Young’s dedication to Florida and consistent civility has set the standard for all of Florida public servants.”

Charles William Young was born in Harmarville, Pa., and later moved to Indian Shores, Fla., a small Gulf Coast community in Pinellas County.

He served in the Army National Guard from 1948 to 1957, then became an aide to U.S. Rep. William Cramer from 1957 to 1960.

From 1961 to 1971, he served in the Florida Senate.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — Senior U.S. House Republican Bill Young was being remembered as a defense hawk, with a passion for looking after the needs of men and women in uniform and those of his constituents back in Florida.

Young died Friday at age 82, a week after announcing from his hospital bed that he wouldn’t seek a 23rd term.

“It’s only been a week since we began trying to imagine the House without Bill Young - an impossible task in its own right - and now he is gone,” House Speaker John Boehner, said in a statement. “In our sorrow, we recall how not a day went by without a colleague seeking Bill’s counsel as he sat on his perch in the corner of the House floor.

Looking out for our men and women in uniform was his life’s work, and no one was better at it. No one was kinder, too.”

Florida was always top priority. Young brought hundreds of millions of dollars in earmarks back to the Tampa Bay area in his 43 years in Congress, and built up a defense contracting industry in the region, creating jobs and stirring the economy.

“His loss is a great one for his constituents,” House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va., said in a statement. “For over 13 years, I considered Bill to be a dear friend and a colleague that could always be counted on to provide sage advice based on decades of experience.”

First elected to the House in 1970, Young was one of the strongest supporters in Congress of defense. So he made headlines in 2012 when he said the United States should withdraw its forces from Afghanistan.

Young told The Associated Press at the time that “we’re killing kids who don’t need to die,” and reflected the growing weariness with a conflict that had dragged on for more than a decade.

Young, who had been involved in Florida politics since 1957, was considered

HOUSTON (AP) — Bum Phillips, the folksy Texas football icon who coached the Houston Oilers during their Luv Ya Blue heyday and later led the New Orleans Saints, died Friday. He was 90.

“Bum is gone to Heaven,” son Wade Phillips tweeted Friday night.

“Loved and will be missed by all — great Dad, Coach, and Christian.”

Phillips died at his ranch in Goliad.

Wade Phillips is the Houston Texans’ defensive coordinator.

Born Oail Andrew Phillips Jr. in 1923 in Orange, Phillips was a Texas original in his blue jeans, boots and trademark white Stetson — except at the Astrodome or any other dome stadium because he was taught it was disrespectful to wear a hat indoors.

“Mama always said that if it can’t rain on you, you’re indoors,” Phillips said.

Phillips loved the Oilers and when coaching the team in the 1970s, he famously said of the Cowboys: “They may be ‘America’s Team,’ but we’re Texas’ team.”

He took over as coach of the Oilers in 1975 and led Houston to two AFC Championship games before he was fired in 1980. He was responsible for drafting Heisman Trophy winner Earl Campbell, the player who was largely credited with the success of the franchise.

It was a time marked by a frenzied fan base that filled the Astrodome to root for the Oilers and wave their blue and white pompons during games.

Houston lost to Pittsburgh 34-5

Two convicted killers mistakenly freed from prison captured without incident TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — Two convicted killers who were freed from prison by phony documents were captured together without incident Saturday night at a Panama City motel, authorities said.

Joseph Jenkins and Charles Walker, both 34, were taken into custody about 6:40 p.m. at the Coconut Grove Motor Inn. They were apprehended several hours after their family members held a news conference urging the men to turn themselves in.

The Florida Department of Law Enforcement did not immediately release any other details about their capture or its investigation.

A woman who answered the phone at the motel said she saw police coming and they went into room 227. The woman, who didn’t want to give her name, said authorities didn’t stop by the office before they moved in.

Jenkins and Walker were both serving life sentences at the Franklin Correctional Facility in the Panhandle before they were released. The bogus paperwork, complete with case numbers and a judge’s forged signature, duped prison officials and reduced their sentences to 15 years.

Jenkins was released Sept. 27 and Walker was set free Oct. 8.

Family members and friends of the men said Saturday they initially thought their release was legitimate and spent time with them, planning a birthday party for one and going to church with the other.

Both men went to an Orlando jail after their release and registered as felons, as required by law. They filled out paperwork, had their photographs taken

and were even fingerprinted. By doing this, authorities said they didn’t raise any alarms.

Henry Pearson, who is Jenkins’ uncle and father figure, said he brought Jenkins clothes when he picked him up from prison last month and drove him to see his mother and grandmother.

Pearson planned a birthday party at his home for Jenkins a few days later, but he never showed up. Pearson said he was completely shocked to learn Wednesday that Jenkins was not

supposed to be out of prison.

He said he heard about the captures while watching TV and then a law enforcement agent called his home unexpectedly and let Jenkins talk to his wife.

“He just said that he was OK and that he loved us,” Pearson said. “We have a great sense of relief because we did not know how this would end up.”

Walker’s mother, Lillie Danzy, said the family thought their prayers had been answered when she got a call saying Walker

was being released. There wasn’t time to pick him up, so he hopped a bus to central Florida.

Walker was at church last Sunday. His mother said they have been cooperating with authorities and made no attempts to hide him.

Before their capture, family members pleaded with the men to turn themselves in.

“We love you. We believe in you. We just want you to surrender yourself to someone you trust who will bring you back here

safely. We don’t want any harm to come to you,” Danzy said.

The Orange County sheriff said Friday night that authorities believed the men were still in the central Florida area. It’s not clear how long they had been in Panama City, which is about 350 miles from Orlando.

Jenkins was found guilty of first-degree murder in the 1998 killing and botched robbery of Roscoe Pugh, an Orlando man. It was Pugh’s family that contacted the prosecutor’s office earlier this week and told them Jenkins had been released, setting off a manhunt.

The prosecutor’s office also discovered Walker had been mistakenly released. Walker was convicted of second-degree murder in the 1999 Orange County slaying of 23-year-old Cedric Slater.

There are still questions about who created the legitimatelooking documents that exposed gaps in Florida’s judicial system.

In light of the errors, the Corrections Department changed the way it verifies early releases and state legislators promised to hold investigative hearings.

The Corrections Department said on Friday it verified the early release by checking the Orange County Clerk of Court’s website and calling them.

Corrections Secretary Michael Crews sent a letter to judges saying prison officials will now verify with judges — and not just court clerks — before releasing prisoners early.

The state Department of Law Enforcement and the Department of Corrections are investigating the error, but so far have not released any details.

476,000 Obamacare applications filed WASHINGTON (AP) — Administration officials say about 476,000 health insurance applications have been filed through federal and state exchanges, the most detailed measure yet of the problem-plagued rollout of President Barack Obama’s signature legislation.

However, the officials continue to refuse to say how many people have actually enrolled in the insurance markets. Without enrollment figures, it’s unclear whether the program is on track to reach the 7 million people projecting by the Congressional Budget Office to gain coverage during the six-month sign-up period.

Obama’s advisers say the president has been frustrated by the flawed rollout. During one of his daily health care briefings last week, he told advisers assembled in the Oval Office that the administration had to own up to the fact that there were no excuses for not having the website ready to operate as promised.

The president is expected to address the problems on Monday during a health care event at the White House. Cabinet members and other top administration officials will also be traveling around the country in the coming weeks to encourage sign-ups in areas with the highest population of uninsured people.

The first three weeks of signups have been marred by a cascade of computer problems, which the administration says it is working around the clock to correct. The rough rollout has been a glaring embarrassment for Obama, who invested significant time and political capital in getting the law passed during his first term.

The officials said technology experts from inside and outside the government are set to work on the glitches, though they did not say how many workers were being added.

Officials did say staffing has been increased at call centers by about 50 percent. As problems persist on the federally run

website, the administration is encouraging more people to sign up for insurance over the phone.

The officials did not want to be cited by name and would not discuss the health insurance rollout unless they were granted anonymity.

Despite the widespread problems, the Obama administration has yet to fully explain what went wrong with the online system consumers were supposed to use to sign up for coverage.

Initially, administration officials blamed a high volume of interest for the frozen screens that many people encountered. Since then, the administration has also acknowledged unspecified problems with software and some elements of the system’s design.

Interest in the insurance markets appears to continue to be high. Officials said about 19 million people had visited HealthCare.gov as of Friday night.

People seeking insurance must fill out applications before selecting specific plans. The applica-

tions include personal information, including income figures that are used to calculate any subsidies the applicant may qualify for.

More than one person can be included on an application.

Of the 476,000 applications that have been started, just over half have been from the 36 states where the federal government is taking the lead in running the markets. The rest of the applications have come from the 14 states running their own markets, along with Washington, D.C. The White House says it plans to release the first enrollment totals from both the federal and state-run markets in mid-November.

An internal memo obtained

by The Associated Press showed that the administration projected nearly a half-million people would enroll for the insurance markets during the first month.

Officials say they expect enrollments to be heavier toward the end of the six-month sign-up window.

In an ironic twist, the problems with the rollout were overshadowed by Republican efforts to get changes to the health care law in exchange for funding the government. That effort failed and the government reopened last week with the health care law intact.

Stung by that defeat, some Republicans are now calling for the resignation of Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius. The White House says it has complete confidence in her.

House Republicans have scheduled a hearing next week to look into the rollout problems.

White House allies say they’re confident the problems are being addressed.

“There’s no question the marketplace website needs some improvement,” said Sen. Max Baucus, D-Mont., one of the architects of the law. “The administration needs to fix the computer bugs and I’m confident that they’re working around the clock to fix the problems.”

Train kills 2 track workers amid SF Bay strike OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — A commuter train that is part of a San Francisco Bay Area system whose employees are on strike hit and killed two maintenance workers Saturday afternoon, officials said.

The accident that killed one system employee and one contractor in the East Bay city of Walnut Creek occurred shortly before 2 p.m. as the train was on a routine maintenance run operated by a manager, Bay Area Rapid Transit officials said.

laid across the tracks, the Contra Costa Times reported.

The victim’s names and ages were not immediately released.

The manager was shuttling a pair of cars between yards to have graffiti cleaned off them, BART Assistant General Manager Paul Oversier told the Contra Costa Times.

Before the accident, union leaders spent the day attempting to convince the riders who make 400,000 daily trips on the system that workers’ demands are not unreasonable amid increasing hostility in social media and other outlets.

The ATU agreed with BART management on the economic parts of the contract, including a 12 percent pay raise that when increased pension and health insurance costs becomes nearly a 1 percent salary loss for workers, Bryant said. The two sides came to an impasse over work rules, including the length of the work day and when overtime pay kicks in, the union said.

BART spokesman Rick Rice said that the two sides remain in communication though they were not expected back at the bargaining table.

Messages left for negotiators from the Service Employees International Union, which also represents workers, were not immediately returned.

However, SEIU president Roxanne Sanchez said they were willing to sign off on pay, health care and pension issues, and send the remaining snarl — work rules — to an arbitrator, a proposal BART has previously refused.

But BART officials later said they would be willing to send the entire contract to arbitration but not the work rules alone.

BART officials said in a statement that the manager was an “experienced operator” and the train was being run in automatic mode under computer control at the time of the accident.

Officials from the two unions representing BART workers, who have been on strike since Thursday, have warned of the danger that could come with allowing managers to operate trains.

At least one of the unions, Amalgamated Transit Union 1555 announced that its 900 workers would not be picketing on Sunday out of respect for the victims and their families.

Also Saturday, ATU local president Antonette Bryant said she was taking a final contract offer from BART before members for a vote, but expects it will be rejected.

“It’s our hope we can get it to members this week,” Bryant told The Associated Press in a telephone interview.

She said she expects the vote to be “a resounding no.”

The two workers killed were performing track inspections about a mile from the Walnut Creek station in an area some 25 miles northeast of San Francisco in response to a reported dip in the track, BART said.

“Both people had extensive experience working around moving trains in both the freight train and the rapid transit industry,” BART said.

The procedures for such maintenance require one employee to inspect the track and the other to serve as a lookout for oncoming traffic, BART officials said, but they did not immediately say whether that procedure was being followed.

Today it boasts a burgeoning international art scene, thriving farm-to-table food movement, and a booming bio-tech industry.

San Diego

beyond surf and sand SAN DIEGO (AP) — The home of SeaWorld and a world-famous zoo offers plenty of cash-burning attractions, but San Diego also has awe-inspiring sites that are as free as the sea breeze and go beyond just sunbathing at the beach.

The nation’s eighth-largest city has matured from its “Fast Times at Ridgemont High” surf days. Today it boasts a burgeoning international art scene, thriving farm-to-table food movement, and a booming bio-tech industry.

Here are five free things to do and see in the city and its surrounding areas that run the gamut from botany to border history.

BALBOA PARK Balboa Park will be marking its 100th anniversary in 2015 with a host of festivities, although any day is worth a visit to the 1,200-acre (485-hectare) urban oasis that rivals New York’s Central Park and is home to the San Diego Zoo. With 350 species of plants, Balboa Park offers hikes through palm-lined canyons and (AP Photo/Lenny Ignelzi) specialty gardens that are free to visit.

The Zoro Garden has a sunken stone grotto that was designed as a nudist colony during the 1935 California-Pacific Exposition. Today it is a butterfly garden with indentations built into rocks to collect small pools of water for the monarch, sulfur, and swallowtail butterflies. At the park’s center are a cluster of museums whose Spanish-Renaissance style buildings were erected in 1915 for a world fair to commemorate the opening of the Panama Canal; http://www.balboapark. org/in-the-park .

UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA SAN DIEGO On a mesa above the Pacific, the setting alone is reason enough to visit the UC San Diego campus. The university’s grounds are also dotted by 18 internationally acclaimed art pieces. They include a text-inscribed granite picnic table by conceptual artist Jenny Holzer and a blueviolet fence-like structure by renowned installation artist Robert Irwin that runs through eucalyptus trees. The most recently acquired installation is Fallen Star by Korean artist Do Ho Suh. The quaint one-room cottage hangs precariously off the seventh story of the engineering school. It is free and open on Tuesdays and Thursdays for anyone who wants to go inside for a serious case of vertigo. A self-guided tour map is available at http://

The piece of art is part of the Stuart Collection, which in a 1982 agreement uses the entire UCSD campus as a site for commissioned sculpture.

THE SALK INSTITUTE Just west of the UC San Diego campus is The Salk Institute for Biological Studies, which offers free guided tours MondayFriday. Established in the 1960s by Dr. Jonas Salk, who developed the polio vaccine, the research facility was designed by architect Louis I. Kahn. Salk wanted laboratory spaces that could be adapted to the future needs of science. Kahn designed two, six-story buildings and used concrete, teak, lead, glass and special steel.

The laboratories have glass walls, allowing them to be flooded with daylight. An open courtyard of travertine marble acts “as a facade to the sky,” the institute says in its description. The American Institute of Architects has included the facility among some 30 buildings that it said have “changed modern life.” Reservations are required for the tour at http://www.salk. edu/about/architecture_tours.html .

BORDER FIELD STATE PARK San Diego is a border city but it often does not feel like one despite the fact its center is less than a 20-minute drive to Mexico. The best way to see the border without crossing it is at Border Field State Park, which is at the farthest southwest corner of the United States. The park is free for those who hike in from the parking lot before the main gate. It’s about a 1 ½ miles (2.4 kilometers) to the picnic area, where visitors can see the towering steel fence marking the border, which plunges into the Pacific. The Border Patrol does not allow the public to go up to the fence but one can stand a short distance from it and see parts of Tijuana, including its bull ring. Music and kites often waft over from Mexico. The U.S. side is an uninterrupted natural coastal stretch that is part of an estuary reserve with more than 370 species of birds. Swimming here is not recommended because of rip currents; http://www.parks.ca.gov/?page_id=664 .

TORREY PINES GLIDER PORT For spectacular sky gazing, head to Torrey Pines Glider Port, a city-owned, private-use glider airport where paragliders and hang gliders jump off the windswept bluffs and silently float over the ocean. During World War II, U.S. Army cadets trained at the site, which is listed as a National Landmark of Soaring. Today there are picnic tables. The glider port offers lessons and equipment rental, and sandwiches at the Cliff Hanger Cafe.

Anyone can visit for free; http://sandiegofreeflight.com/jm170/ .

Tippecanoe’s Red Devils did a little better than just survive — and earned a conference rematch for the sectional championship in the process.

The Bethel Bees, however, were not able to get the rematch they wanted against Greeneview … thanks to the Lehman Cavaliers.

Beavers edge Trojans in 4 for sectional title Josh Brown Sports Editor

CENTERVILLE — The Troy Trojans came in with a plan.

And early on, they executed it.

But once the secondseeded Beavercreek Beavers settled in, they began to frustrate the Trojans by keeping every ball alive and sending it back no matter how quality the hit. And in the end, No. 4 Troy (169) just couldn’t keep

its Game 1 momentum going in a 16-25, 25-15, 25-17, 25-22 loss in the Division I volleyball sectional championship game Saturday night at Centerville High School.

Troy had been swept by Beavercreek (21-3) in the previous two meetings, and the Trojans were fired up for another shot.

“We had a good gameplan,” Troy coach Michelle Owen said. “We spent a lot of time breaking down film and showing the girls what they could do to be

successful against their defense. We came out on fire, (Beavercreek) was a little shell-shocked, and we executed the plan — put all that together, and you’ve got a good first game.”

Troy put together three separate threepoint spurts to pull ahead 10-5 and force a quick timeout, and the lead grew to as many as eight at 14-6.

Beavercreek strung four points in a row together to close to 16-13 and

force a Troy timeout, but the Trojans answered by winning five of the next seven points and then closed out the game on a four-point run.

Lauren Freed led the way in the game with four kills and an ace and five other Trojans put kills down in the game.

But Beavercreek began to rally in the second game. Only Freed and Ashton Riley could put the ball down regularly in the game, combining for five kills

Well represented Local runners put on show at D-III district

CLAYTON — Miami County will be well represented at next week’s Division III regional cross country meet in Troy.

Many local runners secured trips to regional at Saturday’s Division III district meet at the Miami Valley Career Technology Center in Clayton.

And a few of them walked away with district titles.

• District Champion Carly Shell In two years of high school cross country, Covington’s Carly Shell has piled up the accolades.

Countless top five finishes, a new school record for fastest time — and on Saturday, Shell added a Division III district title to her list of accomplishments.

Shell won the Division III Race A with a time of 19:33.68 on a course that looked more fit to host a tough mudder. RunnerAnthony Weber/Troy Daily News up Meg Westerheide (Ft. Loramie) was Covington’s Carly Shell won a Division III district championship close to 30 seconds behind in a time of Saturday at the Miami Valley CTC. 20:01.83.

“It’s pretty awesome, I can’t really describe it,” Shell said. “It’s a great feeling to know I went against some really good runners and came out as district champ.

It’s just awesome.”

The Buccs (52 points) finished second to Ft. Loramie (32) in the team standings to earn a regional berth.

Anna Dunn took fourth (20:12.42), while Hannah Retz finished seventh (20:45.75).

Julianna Yingst (23rd, 22:36.97) and Heidi Cron (24th, 22:41.34) rounded out the top five for Covington.

Anna was third (90 points) and West Liberty-Salem finished fourth (106).

• Talented Youngsters They are young. They are talented. And they are hungry for success.

They are Lehman’s dynamic duo — Caroline Heitmeyer and Jenna Zimmerman — and they played a large part in helping the Cavaliers secure a spot at next Saturday’s Division III regional meet.

Heitmeyer won the Division III Race B with a time of 19:35, while Zimmerman finished runner-up (20:01).

“I was hoping for regional, but never thought I’d ever win,” Heitmeyer said.

Zimmerman, however, believed in Heitmeyer’s ability all along. Troy Christian’s Zac Garver runs at the Division III district cross • See DISTRICT on page A11 country meet Saturday.

Vikings sweep Anna, advance to district BROOKVILLE — History, rivalry — in the end, only one thing made the difference.

Miami East’s talent for closing.

With rival Anna holding slim leads in each set, the second-seeded Vikings won 10 of the final 14 points in the first, 10 of the final 12 in the second and the final six points of the match in the third to complete a 25-21, 25-20, 25-21 sweep of the No. 3 Rockets in the Division III volleyball sectional championship match Saturday at Brookville High School.

Not only was the win the 100th in the careers of Miami East seniors Sam Cash, Allison Morrett, Angie Mack and Trina and Ashley Current, but it was also the third year in a row that the Vikings (21-4) have eliminated the Rockets. The past two seasons, Miami East did so at the regional level on its way to back-to-back state championships.

In fact, the last time the Vikings were defeated in the postseason was when their seniors were freshmen three years ago — in the sectional title game, on Brookville’s floor, by Anna.

“It feels great. We wanted to beat them bad,” said Mack, who had 11 kills, four aces, a block and five digs to lead the way statistically … on her birthday, too boot. “Whenever we play them, it’s always intense.”

“Yeah, this one felt awesome,” Morrett said. “They just made us better. That’s what happened today. I just don’t want it to end.”

“It was the battle we thought it would be,” Miami East coach John Cash said. “We knew they were hungry to beat us after we knocked them out of the tournament the past two years. I thought we did a nice job of playing side-out ball when we needed to, and when we needed to make runs at the end of games, we scored.

We didn’t even wait for them to make errors. We executed and scored.

“We pride ourselves on our serve.

A lot of people try to hit zones, to get the other team out of their game.

Our purpose is to score. Our serve is a weapon.”

And when it counted most, Morrett was often the one pulling the trigger.

Anna led as late as 17-15 in the first set, but Morrett (seven kills, three aces, nine digs) served four straight points — including an ace that dropped on the back line to close out the run — that made it a 20-17 game. Anna got as close as 22-21, but a kill by Mack, a big block by Ashley Current (two kills, one ace, two blocks, six digs, 13 assists) and an Anna error put an end to the game.

In the second game, Anna led 18-15 before another run by Morrett gave the Vikings a one-point lead. An error tied the score at 19-19, but Anna

and three aces, but the Beavercreek tandem of lefty Madison Johnson on one side and Brielle Saylor on the other was just too much as they combined for nine kills, two blocks and an ace to put the game away.

The frustration continued for Troy in Game 3, as Beavercreek dug up practically everything Troy sent its way, and the closest the Trojans got was down two at 15-13.

Kiesewetter (seven digs) served up four straight points, including a huge block by Trina Current (five kills, one ace, three blocks). Sam Cash (three kills, one block, six digs, 13 assists) gave the Vikings a 2-0 lead with a kill two points later.

And in the third game, Mack served three straight aces and and five straight points to give Miami East an early 6-1 edge, but the Rockets fought back and even held a 21-19 lead.

“I knew deep down we’d pull through,” Mack said “I’ve been playing with these girls a long time. I just had a gut feeling. I trust in them all and just knew we’d do it.”

An Anna service error gave the ball to Morrett, and she served up five straight points — including two aces, a kill by Mack and a critical block

by Karson Mahaney (one kills, three blocks) — to put the match away.

“It feels awesome,” Morrett said of ending the match on such a service run. “And it’s not because of pressure either. It’s just the will to win. You’ve just got to have it. You can’t get lost in what’s going on around you, the crowd, the other team. You’ve just got to focus on this next serve, one more time, one at a time.”

Miami East moves on to the district final at 5:30 p.m. Oct. 26 at Tippecanoe, where it will face the winner of Monday’s Badin-Reading matchup.

CLAYTON — The Tippecanoe teams picked up first-place hardware as expected at Saturday’s Division II district meet … and the Red Devil teams will most likely be the favorites next week at regional.

The Troy boys are once again headed back to compete on the banks of the Troy levee.

The day ended in heartbreaking fashion for the Troy girls team.

And for the first time in a long time, Milton-Union coach Michael Meredith will be without a representative at next week’s regional meet.

Dreams were made and broken Saturday as runners from all over the southwest district competed on the campus of the Miami Valley Career Technology Center in Clayton.

• Tipp Roundup The Tippecanoe girls tallied 26 points to win the Division II Race A district title … but its goals are must loftier than just a district title.

The Red Devils are hoping to be in the running for a state title in a couple weeks.

“This is by far the best team I’ve ever had,” Tippecanoe coach Byron Kimmel said.

“You never know. You never know what’s going to happen. Katie Landwehr got fourth at regional, and then she won the state title in 2010. You never know what’s going to happen. I mean, kids are kids, and they handle pressure differently. That’s really what it comes down to is who can handle pressure at that time. Training has something to do with it, but it’s a small amount. At that point it’s how you handle pressure and how much heart you’ve got. I like our girls chances. We’re going to lay it all out there.”

On Saturday, the Red Devils had five runners in the top 14 spots to hold off Oakwood, which finished with 35 points.

Allison Sinning — a state placer last season — led the team with a second-place finish (19:11). Oakwood’s state champ Mary Kate Vaughn won the race with an 18:53.

“My dad could tell I was unhappy with how I was doing, and he told me that I need to put on a strong face and run proud for my team,” Sinning said. “That really changed my attitude because I had almost given up on myself. I just wasn’t feeling that great. My coach had talked about mental toughness all week, so we buried it by the 600-meter mark. That’s when my dad told me that.

“I knew I had to forget about the things that were blocking my head, run for my team — and be proud that I’m apart of it.”

Sinning was followed by Hailey Brumfield (fourth place, 20:23), Abbi Halsey (fifth, 20:27), Emily Wolfe (seventh, 20:35) and Brinna Price (eighth, 20:59).

Kelly Rhoades finished 14th (21:58) and Claudia Barhorst was 22nd (22:48).

Better left unsaid Troy must find way to rebound from 72-6 loss

BY DAVID FONG Executive Editor dfong@civitasmedia.com There’s really not much more that needs to be said.

And, given the circumstances, maybe not much more that should be said.

Trotwood-Madison defeated Troy 72-6 Friday night. It was the most-lopsided loss in 117 years of Troy football. It was the first time Troy has ever given up 70 or more points in school history. It was just the third time in school history a Troy team has given up 60 or more points (the other two times came in 1915 and 1930).

It was, perhaps, the most-forgettable night in the history of Troy football. The Rams dominated the Trojans on offense, defense and special teams.

All of which leaves the Trojans 2-6, 0-3 in the Greater Western Ohio Conference North Division. With just two games left to play — home contests against Greenville and rival Piqua — the only thing the Trojans are playing for is pride and the opportunity to match last year’s 4-6 record.

It won’t be easy. While Greenville has just one win this season, a win over the Trojans would essentially make the Green Wave’s season.

Piqua always is looking to beat its bitter rival. Troy won’t go to the playoffs, won’t challenge for a league title and won’t have a winning season.

First, however, some final notes from Troy’s 726 loss to Trotwood.

• Player of the Game Troy’s lone bright spot on the night came just five plays in, when senior tailback Miles Hibbler broke loose on a 63-yard touchdown run. From there, Trotwood’s defense held Hibbler to just seven rushing yards the rest of the way. Still, though, on a night in which not much went right for the Trojans, Hibbler’s shining moment makes him the only real

• Unsung Hero of the Game At 6-foot-4, 285-pounds, Troy senior lineman Alex Dalton hasn’t had to face players bigger than him very often this season.

Friday night, every player Dalton faced off against was bigger than him … literally. Not a single Trotwood offensive lineman weighed less than 300 pounds. The Rams’ defensive linemen weren’t much smaller.

Still, though, Dalton — who played both offense and defense the entire night — held his own.

Against a host of future Division I college football players, Dalton — who will play at Oklahoma University next fall — recorded several tackles for loss on defense and was steady on offense.

Friday night, he showed

he could compete against other college linemen.

• Play of the Game Again, there aren’t many options for the Trojans. Hibbler’s 63-yard touchdown dash really is the only choice for Troy’s top play. Like Dalton, Hibbler will play Division I college football next year — he’s already given a verbal commitment to Kent State. Also like Dalton, he showed he could play against other college-level players. Once he broke free at the line of scrimmage, he was able to out-race Trotwood’s speedy secondary to the end zone.

• What We Learned From Troy? Not much.

It really is back to the drawing board for the Trojans after a night like they had Friday night.

What we may have

learned, however, was how good Trotwood is. The Rams have been to the Division II state championship game each of the past three years, winning it all in 2011.

The Rams are competing in Division III this year, but currently are on the outside looking in in terms of a playoff berth, thanks to a loss to 7-1 Wayne, a nine-game schedule and a forfeit loss to Springfield. If the Rams can make it into the playoffs, it’s hard to imagine there’s a Division III team in the state that will want to play them in the postseason.

• What Happens Next Simply put, Troy has to figure out a way to stop the bleeding and win its final two games to salvage some semblance of pride this season.

Lots of bright side to go around

Sure, they struggled after two straight bye weeks and were plenty rusty on Friday, but there aren’t many teams that wouldn’t.

Troy Christian’s Dean English (55), Matthew Boone (63), Jacob Calvert (21), Chase Hayden (7) and Caleb Salazar (66) all work to bring down a Middletown Christian ball carrier Friday. it’ll be interesting to see just how far the momentum takes them.

Speaking of momentum, what can possibly stop Tippecanoe? Jacob Hall and Cameron Johnson each had 100-plus-yard nights again, Hall had four touchdowns and the Red Devils picked apart Tecumseh — which just the week before had pushed undefeated Springfield Shawnee, losing only 27-20. And Friday, the Braves barely beat Bellefontaine 34-33, making even that big Week 10 matchup look like a potential beating in Tippecanoe’s favor. The Devils may not get a real test until Week 11 at this point — but then again, anything can happen.

Just look at what Miami East pulled off Friday. After a 34-0 loss to Covington — which remained undefeated with a casual 42-6 crushing of Twin Valley South — the previous week, the Vikings went on the road to take on Tri-County North, whose only loss was also to Covington.

The Panthers jumped out to a 14-0 lead, but the Vikings capitalized on a couple of mistakes to even the score. North retook the lead before halftime, but the East defense was a brick wall from that moment on, the Vikings forced overtime, the defense came through again and Michael Fellers put through a short field goal to win it — and likely seal up a

home game in the playoffs.

Milton-Union finally put one in the “Win” column, defeating Dixie on the road 28-13. A pair of touchdown passes by London Cowan, touchdown runs by veteran leaders Chase Martens and Kenton Dickison and a solid defensive effort proved to be the winning formula — one the Bulldogs hope to replicate two more times.

Bradford is still winless after being dominated by Arcanum, and the for the second week in a row, the Bethel Bees took a playoff contender to the limit but just came up short in the end. This time it was National Trail, who barely improved to 7-1 with an 1816 win.

Trojans advance Red Devils win in rout Staff Reports TROY — Survive and advance.

Once the regular season ends, that’s the mantra of every team left.

It’s what the fourth-seeded Troy Trojans were able to do Saturday night in their final game at Troy Memorial Stadium of the year. No. 12 Fairborn gave the Trojans everything they could handle, but Troy was able to put the ball home one time to claim a 1-0 victory in the Division I boys soccer sectional semifinal round.

Johan Trotter was the only player to find the net, scoring on an assist from Luke Manis as both teams battled and made sure the other struggled to finish. Troy had beaten Fairborn (5-8-3) 3-1 early in the regular season.

With the win, Troy — which improved to 13-2-3 on the season — advances to Tuesday sectional championship game at Springboro.

The Trojans will play Centerville — a 4-0 winner over Miamisburg — at 5 p.m.

• Division II Tippecanoe 9, Greenville 0 TIPP CITY — In its first Division II sectional tournament game, Tippecanoe struggled to score in a 1-0 win.

That wasn’t an issue Saturday night.

The second-seeded Red Devils found the back of the net nine times against winless No. 8 Greenville (0-15-2), winning 9-0 to advance to Tuesday sectional title game.

There they will face a familiar foe — No. 3 Kenton Ridge, who the Devils defeated 3-1 in the final game of the regular season. The two will meet again at 7 p.m. Tuesday at Tecumseh.

Beavercreek 8, Piqua 0 BEAVERCREEK — The top-seeded Beavercreek Beavers ended Piqua’s season with an 8-0 victory in the Division I sectional tournament.

• Division III Newton 1, XC 0 XENIA — Newton senior Logan Welbaum scored the night’s only goal as the No. 13 Indians scored in the first half and held on to upset No. 8 Xenia Christian 1-0 in the Division III sectional tournament.

Newton will face top-seeded Catholic Central Tuesday at Fairmont for the sectional championship.

Lehman 1, Bethel 0 BRANDT — The No. 5 Bethel Bees, perhaps looking ahead toward a potential rematch against No. 4 Greeneview, couldn’t get anything going on offense Saturday night, falling to No. 10 Lehman 1-0 in the Division III sectional tournament.

Joseph Simpson scored the game’s only goal for Lehman (6-6-3), which moves on to face Greeneview Tuesday. Bethel’s season ends at 12-4-2.

“It was a very tight game. I think Lehman came out much more the aggressor than we were,” Bethel coach Bob Hamlin said. “They played with more passion than we did, and in turn made things happen.”

Botkins 5, ME 4 PKs CASSTOWN — For the second postseason game in a row, the No. 11 Miami East Vikings took the game to penalty kicks, but this time No. 12 Botkins was able to get the better of them for a 5-4 victory in the Division III sectional tournament. Botkins will face No. 2 Yellow Springs Tuesday at Franklin for the sectional title.

Greeneview 12, Milton-Union 1 JAMESTOWN — The No. 4 Greeneview Rams ended No. 19 Milton-Union’s season Saturday night with a 12-1 victory in the Division III sectional tournament.

• Girls Regular Season Milton-Union 2, Carlisle 0 Milton-Union scored a pair of late second-half goals to end the season on a high note with a 2-0 win over Carlisle.

Brianna Wiltshire netted the Bulldogs first goal with 15 minutes left in the game, with an assist coming from Danielle McFarland. Madison Brandon added some insurance with a goal at the fiveminute mark.

The Bulldogs finish the season with a record of 8-8-1.

Buckeyes bounce back, beat Iowa COLUMBUS (AP) — Carlos Hyde was staggered. So was No. 4 Ohio State.

Both bounced back.

Hyde ran for 149 yards, including 106 and two touchdowns in the second half, to lead the Buckeyes back from a halftime deficit to a 34-24 victory over Iowa on Saturday, extending their win streak to an FBS-best 19 straight.

The game tilted on two athletic plays early in the fourth quarter.

Buckeyes quarterback Braxton Miller escaped the rush, ran right and then scooted all the way to the left sideline, running maybe 75 yards to gain 9 for a first down.

On the next play from the Iowa 19, Hyde took a handoff — the call is 13 dash — and bounced off right tackle. He rumbled to the 7-yard line, where he was hit hard by free safety Tanner Miller, the blow knocking him off balance. He had retreated all the way to the 11 by the time he regained his bearings and turned up the right sideline. Hyde ran to the 3 before vaulting just inside the corner post for the touchdown that put the Buckeyes (7-0, 3-0 Big Ten) ahead to stay.

“I’ve never had a run like that but that play was working all day,” the senior tailback said. “The safety came up and hit me.

I came out of it and I was still up. I was like, ‘Let me try to catch my balance.’ Once I did I turned around. … I was like, ‘Man, I haven’t even scored yet.’

When I saw (wide-out Corey Brown’s) block, I just went in for the touchdown.”

The game wasn’t the same after that.

“That run by Carlos, I don’t know, that’s Godgiven for him to make somebody miss a tackle like that and just keep moving forward,” said Miller, who completed 22 of 27 passes for 222 yards and two touchdowns (58 yards to Brown and 14 yards to Devin Smith) and ran for 102 yards. “And then to

Ohio State’s Devin Smith dives toward the goal line Saturday against Iowa.

Ohio State’s Carlos Hyde breaks away from the Iowa defense Saturday.

dive into the end zone like that, that’s sweet.”

The 19 straight wins ties the second-best streak in school history.

But it didn’t come easy.

The Hawkeyes (4-3, 1-2) dominated offensively in the first half and led 21-14 behind the strong play of quarterback Jake Rudock. He hit on 19 of 34 passes for 245 yards and three scores covering 2 yards to C.J. Fidorowicz, 6 yards to Kevonte MartinManley and 85 yards to Jake Duzey.

But Hyde tied it with the first rushing TD against Iowa this season on Ohio State’s first drive of the third quarter, and the Buckeyes eventually took over.

“You don’t get a prize for playing a good first half,” Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz said. “You have to play a full 60 minutes.”

After watching Iowa’s offense control the opening half, the Buckeyes outgained the Hawkeyes 306-153 in the last two quarters. They piled up a 23:05-6:55 edge in time of possession in the half.

The Buckeyes haven’t lost in Urban Meyer’s two

years as head coach.

“I’ve learned a lesson in my life. I’m going to enjoy this win,” Meyer scored.

“I feel outstanding. I’m going to go hug my players and hug my family and go to work tomorrow. But, tonight? I’m not worried about any (problems on) defense. I’m going to enjoy this win.”

Teams had run 204 times this season against Iowa’s defense before the Buckeyes finally broke through for a score. Hyde barely got the nose of the ball across the goal line from a yard out to tie the game at 17 on the first series of the second half.

The teams traded touchdowns, Miller hitting Smith before Iowa evened it on the next snap on Rudock’s perfect spiral in step to Duzey down the right sideline.

Then Hyde scored on the hit that at first staggered him to put Ohio State ahead for keeps.

Ohio State’s defense finally held and forced a punt, with the Buckeyes adding Drew Basil’s field goal to make it a 10-point lead that they maintained the rest of the way.

DEVILS From page A9 The Tipp boys got a bit of a wake-up call from Springfield Shawnee.

The Red Devils held on for the win by a one-point margin in Division II Race B, scoring 48 points compared to Shawnee’s 49.

“They wanted it more than we did. I think we kind of went into the race thinking we just beat Shawnee by a significant amount at our league meet, but one of their top guys dropped out of that race early on,” Kimmel said. “They wanted it from the get-go, and it was a big wake-up call for us. We’re going to have to have a little gut-check going into next week.”

Mitch Poynter, a sophomore, led the way for Tipp, placing second overall (17:13).

Daniel Frame finished fourth (17:15), Jay Schairbaum placed seventh (17:47), while Jared Rindler (17th, 18:11) and Tim Andrews (18th, 18:13) rounded out the top five.

• Troy Boys In Troy boys coach Bob Campbell’s time at the school, the Trojans haven’t missed out on regional very often.

In fact, only four teams have failed to reach regional in Campbell’s 30 plus years at the school.

Well — they are headed back again.

On Saturday, it was Stephen Jones (second, 16:55) and Mississippi State bound Branden Nosker (fourth, 17:18) leading the charge as the Trojans placed third as a team (66 points) in a very tight Division I Race A. Just five points separated the first and third place teams. Springboro was team champ (61 points), while Troy’s Greater Western Ohio Conference North Division rival Butler took second (62).

Behind Jones and Nosker came Blake Guillozet (14th, 17:48), Troy Schultz (16th, 17:59) and Josh Spayde (30th, 18:43).

• Troy Girls DQ’d The Troy girls team did what it took to earn a spot at the Division I regional meet.

Then the Trojans had it taken away from them in the blink of an eye.

Troy was disqualified due to a uniform violation. A lengthy conversation between officials occurred at the conclusion of the Division I Race A, and it ended with them deciding to eliminate Troy from the team standings.

Two out of the seven Troy uniforms — uniforms the girls cross country team has worn for the past two seasons — had white stripes around the shoul-

der area, which, according to officials was a violation of the rules.

But wait — there’s more.

Rachel Davidson — who placed 16th for Troy in a time of 21:12 — will be allowed to compete at next week’s regional meet.

“With the conditions being the way they were, Rachel had one heck of a performance,” Troy girls coach Kevin Alexander said. “I mean, she’s really one tough kid for battling the adverse weather conditions the way she did. If you look at her, you realize she’s not a real strong kid. She’s not a mudder — but she came through with one heck of a performance today.”

Unofficially, Troy scored 122 points at the meet, which would have earned it fourth in the team standings.

Alexander has an appeal pending with the Ohio High School Athletic Association.

More will be known about the situation in the coming days.

The winner of the race was Centerville (24 points), while Beavercreek (43), Talawanda (106) and Northmont (132) rounded out the top four.

• Milton-Union roundup Milton-Union coach Michael Meredith was disgruntled at the end of the day Saturday.

It was the first time in a very, very long time the Bulldogs did not have anybody make it out of district.

A week removed from winning the Southwestern Buckeye League Buckeye Division title, the Milton boys stumbled against some quality competition in the Division II A Race.

Colton Graumen, a freshman, was the top runner for the Bulldogs in 31st (18:45), while River Spicer took 36th.

The Milton boys, however, should be back strong next season. All seven varsity runners will return.

Carroll ran away with the team title (31 points), Oakwood was second (89) and Northwestern finished third (91). Milton-Union placed with 210 points.

Making matters even worse for coach Meredith was the fact that his freshman daughter, Lauren, missed qualifying for regional by three spots. Lauren Meredith finished the D-II Race B in 15th (22:23). Hailey Bohse (37th, 24:13) and Katie Litton (38th, 24:35) were the next two in for the Bulldogs.

Eaton won the girls race (29 points), Alter took second (44) and Chaminade Julienne finished third (88). colinfoster@civitasmedia.com

From page A9 “That’s one of the things Beavercreek does great. It’s hard to find where to put a ball down,” Owen said. “We did early by following the gameplan, but we got away from it later. “(Beavercreek) made some adjustments, and our serve receive went (down the drain). That was the big thing. We couldn’t execute our gameplan when we weren’t getting good passes.”

Game 4 stayed even throughout, with neither team getting more than a two-point lead until late. In fact, the team traded onepoint leads back and forth from when Beavercreek led 9-7 all the way to when they pulled ahead 18-16. Once the got a 21-18 lead, though, it was all over.

Emily Moser finished with 13 kills — most of them coming in Games 3 and 4 in an effort to help the Trojans stay alive — and 10 digs and Freed finished with 12 kills, 13 digs and five aces to lead

the way. Riley had six ills and five digs, Katie DeMeo had six kills, three blocks and two digs, Drezanee Smith had two kills, a block and a dig, Leslie Wynkoop had two kills, 36 assists and nine digs and Abby Brinkman had 22 digs.

Still, the Trojans will be bringing back a lot of firepower next year.

“We’re young. We started a freshman, two sophomores, three juniors and two seniors,” Owen said. “We’ll have a couple of holes to fill, but we can do that with young kids. We’ll be young again, but we’ve got a great foundation — and now these kids have seen what it’s like to win.

“We’ve been on both sides of tough, close games, and we play a tough schedule.

Hopefully we’ll be able to pick things up from a faster pace to start the year next year … but we still felt like we had a great shot today.” jbrown@civitasmedia.com

Two centuries of ministry

Melanie Yingst

Staff Writer myingst@civitasmedia.com

TROY — From log cabins to laptops, the First Presbyterian Church of Troy’s founding fathers’ mission still mirrors its modern day ministry more than 200 years later.

At the time the church was founded, James Madison was the fourth president of the United States and the War of 1812 were the big events as pioneers forged through the Midwest in the early 1800s.

Fifteen members gathered together in the home of Alexander Telford’s log cabin on September 13, 1813 northwest of the Miami County Fairgrounds and began the foundation the congregation’s ministry and outreach, which still holds fast today.

In Telford’s home, the “Presbyterian Pioneers” of Troy established the congregation of the current First Presbyterian Church of Troy, which is celebrating its 200th year of community service, education and ministry this year.

BUILDING ITS FOUNDATION The congregation gathered in homes — like Telford’s log cabin — and at Overfield Tavern, the courthouse and a one-room academy building during the congregation’s infancy during the 18010s and early 1820s.

According to records complied by Teri Okrutny, Clerk of Session and Chairman of the Bicentennial, large meeting spaces were sparse.

Congregations met in homes and large rooms before the church’s first building was erected in 1826-1827 on 107 Crawford St. The church still is standing today near Forest Elementary School.

In 1838 a denominational

split resulted in members going “old school” or “new school.”

One-third of the members built a new church at 214 W. Main St.and became known as the Main Street Presbyterian Church. The two-thirds majority affiliated with the “new school” built a frame church at the present site in 1859. It was known as the Franklin Street Presbyterian Church, where the congregation still worships on the corner of Franklin and Walnut Streets.

The Civil War wasn’t the only entity divided and then later rejoined. The Old School and New School congregations reunited into one church and once again were the First Presbyterian Church in 1870.

Over the years, there have been additions and renovations to the building, including the

installation of stained glass windows and carpeting. In 1930, a $35,000 addition was built, along with another addition in 1956. The 1956 addition cost $152,000. In 1962, the church’s pipe organ was installed. The latest addition includes a new social hall and kitchen on the upper level and a youth area in the lower level including bathrooms with showers. This has allowed the church to house a “Cold Shelter” in the winter months for the homeless.

S E RV I N G THE COMMUNITY SINCE 1813 According to the First Presbyterian Church of Troy’s history, the church’s bicentennial celebration reflects just how much the church’s congregation was part of the city of Troy’s history. Its modern day ministry still follows the “Presbyterian Pioneers’” foundation of faith, fellowship, philanthropy and ministering to those in need.

The congregation was part of Troy’s first education system with a Sabbath School formed in 1818 -1899 and the Bible was the students’ only textbook.

The Sabbath School was organized in the Old Court House around the public square.

According to records complied by Okrutny, all denominations in town joined in support of the school until the Methodists withdrew to organize their own school around 1830. In 1849, through the efforts of the pastor of the First Presbyterian Church’s New School group, Rev. Daniel Rice served as a member of Troy’s first board of education. Nearly half of the members were from the church and William N. Edwards, a church member, served as its first superintendent.

Today, the congregation still supports education through its Troy Lunch Club. The Troy Lunch Club is a summer organization which provides lunch and fun activities for school children who live in a low

income housing in the city of Troy.

CIVIL WAR CONNECTION The early church was involved in starting the Sabbath School 1818-1899 and it was part of the Underground Railroad.

The church still has access to the undercroft of the foundation of the church, where a pair of leg iron shackles believed to be used during the time of slavery, were found.

Okrutny said the church historians hope to develop a historical room near the entrance of the church’s part of the Underground Railroad which led slaves north to Canada towards freedom. Okrutny said due to the secretive time in history, no formal written records of the congregation’s part of the Underground Railroad have been found, or were lost during the 1913 Great Flood.

In 1859, the current church building was constructed and the first of many community Civil War worship services was held in the sanctuary. Also, the Troy community gathered in the sanctuary and held the memorial service for President

Abraham Lincoln on April 16, 1861.

A copy of Rev. William Lyle, A.M.’s sermon from 1865 tells the tale of how many soldiers had filled pews for church services held at churches around the nation like Franklin Street Presbyterian Church. A large gathering of troops assembled on a Sunday morning in April 1861 and Rev. Lyle described how the pulpit had a Starspangled Banner unfurled and “hung in graceful folds” and “that flag, always beautiful in the eyes of every true American, and ever dear to his heart, never seemed so beautiful nor so precious as at that moment.”

The account also included how ladies prepared lint and bandages and “other articles necessary for the soldier” in the church rooms before the infantry left for battle.

McCreery finds his voice on post-‘Idol’ album NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Scotty McCreery rode his 2011 “American Idol” win to a platinum album and several new artist awards.

With his second album, “See You Tonight,” McCreery says his career is now in his hands alone.

“We have been off the show for 2½ years,” the 20-year-old said. “The wave pretty much has to be my wave now. We have to make our own momentum. That comes with success, with radio success, but you’ve also got to make the good music first, the good songs for that to happen.”

In McCreery’s case, ‘Idol’ was a platform and not a career. He believes this album and its success at country radio is a big factor in his transition from a

In this Sept. 15 file photo, Scotty McCreery performs at Aarons Amphitheater in Atlanta. McCreery rode a wave of success after winning the 2011 season of “American Idol,” with his first record going platinum and winning several new artist awards. But with his sophomore album, “See You Tonight,” McCreery says his career is now in his hands alone.

TV star to a country star.

The songs on “See You Tonight,” released on Tuesday, stay true to McCreery’s values

and his love of traditional country, but he also expands his sound and even riffs on country radio’s current infatuation with

songs about trucks and beer.

Album producer Frank Rogers, who has worked with Darius Rucker and Brad Paisley, said McCreery’s musical influences, like a lot of younger music fans, are not just traditional country and that is reflected in the new album.

“He’s also a college kid who has a very diverse iPod and playlist,” Rogers said. “I don’t think anything is forced in there, but we brought in some musical elements, things that that maybe he hasn’t put on a record before, but they are part of his musical vocabulary.”

The title track is a catchy love song that he hints may be inspired by his own love life.

“Didn’t just come out of thin air,” he notes with a smile.

The album also features some of his original songwriting for the first time, an aspect that made the soft-spoken McCreery somewhat nervous.

“At first you’re a little scared to come out of your shoes and share some of your thoughts,” he said. “You have to share those intimate thoughts to get a really good song.”

Although he is still is a young writer, he wanted to add some more depth to the emotions on his album by adding a few more songs about heartbreak and love.

“On the first record, everything was happy-go-lucky in the world,” he said. “We know that’s not true. We have a couple of songs on there that make you think, that are a little deeper about relationships.”

WHAT IS THE BACKPACK FOOD PROGRAM? In 2008 we discovered, with conversations between our Pastor at that time and School Principals at Troy’s Elementary Schools the need for helping feed some of our communities children over week-ends.

THE BACKPACK FOOD PROGRAM WAS BORN !

The need continues today - Last year we packed pre-packaged food for each of those children and delivered them to the schools each Friday. The number of children in need are determined by the school weekly.

Each and every penny given to this much needed program in our community is spent on the children with the planning, pick up, packaging and delivery to 286 children each week through the help of many of our own volunteers.

We hope you would consider helping fund this much needed program for the 2013-14 school year by sponsoring one or more of these children for this school year.

M I N I ST RY IN MODERN TIMES From Alexander Telford’s original congregation of 15 members, the church now has 481 confirmed members in 2013.

Telford also served in the Revolutionary War under General Washington, among other famous Revolutionary names.

After failing to secure land in Kentucky, Telford moved to a farm on Mad River north of Dayton and three years later moved on up to Troy.

Dr. Clokey, pastor at the church, and Mrs. Lucinda Lewis, a member, both were involved in getting Miami County declared dry during the years of Prohibition.

In the 1920s, members of our congregation conceived the idea that

the church should have homes for its aged and its children. This led to the development of the Dorothy Love Home in Sidney for the aged, but the homes for children never developed.

In the 1960s, the church was active with the youth having housed a Coffee House for the young people of the community. Members also started Troy Concern Inc., which buys homes and sells them on land contract to those who might otherwise not be able to afford a home.

From 1978-80, the church was involved in a Street Ministry, “a ministry with and for the people … available on the street, in gathering places or wherever people need help.”

Currently, the First Presbyterian Church is active in several community ministries. Okrutny said the church’s main focus is to use its downtown location to serve the greater community in a variety of ways.

The Breakfast Club provides a breakfast meal to those who are in need in the church’s kitchen. This

program has continued to grow over the years, showing an ever increasing need for food. The Giving Tree ministry provides clothes, school supplies and school fees for students heading back to school.

The Mitten Tree provides mittens, gloves, hats and scarves for children and these items are distributed to local Spanish Ministry, Clear Creek Church in West Virginia, and local schools.

Prayer Shawl Ministry is a group of women who knit or crochet shawls for others. They are given to anyone who has a need.

They are made with love and prayer.

Mission Possible helps to care for church members who are in need of help with small home repairs, yard clean-up or other small needs around the home as well as small personal items.

TIME CAPSULE Church members pass by the secret hiding place for the church’s time capsule each Sunday. Hidden in the wall under a window sill, a metal box containing newspaper clippings, a Time magazine of the week, Sunday School signatures, church sermons on 16 mm film and black and white photographs celebrate the congregation’s past. Okrutny said the sermons will likely be converted to DVD which also will be outdated the next time the capsule is unsealed in 25 years in 2038.

“It’s amazing how technology changes so quickly,” Okrutny said. “It’s kind of like opening a Christmas gift.”

Membership rolls will accompany the time capsule along with photographs for 50 year members, like Vicki Elliott, who was pictured as a teen in the choir in the 1963 edition of the capsule.

Another Time magazine edition will be included, along with 2012 reports, event programs and history books.

TODAY’S CROSSWORD

Book offers juicy peek inside Johnny Carson’s life “Johnny Carson” (Eamon Dolan/Houghton Mifflin Harcourt), by Henry Bushkin Hell hath no fury like a lawyer scorned.

“You must never, ever repeat a word from last night,” Johnny Carson told Henry Bushkin after sobering up from a barstool confessional. Bushkin gave a lawyerly assurance to “The Tonight Show” host, saying in part, “I would lose my license if during your lifetime I repeated it to a soul.”

Maybe Carson’s head hurt too much to catch that little caveat. Had he noticed the words “in your lifetime,” the entertainer might not have been so keen on hiring a 27-year-old lawyer who likely would outlive him and might one day reveal his personal and professional blemishes.

Is Bushkin’s writing about his famously private client an act of betrayal tinged with revenge? Carson did fire him after nearly two decades of devoted service.

Putting that matter aside, few books like “Johnny Carson” have been more engrossing. It’s not just a juicy peek inside a celebrity’s life from the view of a hanger-on. Bushkin’s memoir is also a well-written corporate tale that reveals the tough business of staying America’s favorite latenight host, full of stories of money, sex and skullduggery, peppered with plenty of laughs.

Bushkin began handling Carson’s affairs in 1970. Carson needed additional legal advice on how to execute a pre-emptive strike on his second wife (there would be two more).

Bushkin writes that he proved himself by joining Carson, who was armed with a .38-caliber handgun, and a few others in a raid on the love nest shared by Mrs. Carson and athlete turned sportscaster Frank Gifford.

Packing heat didn’t protect Carson’s emotions: He wept when he realized that he was indeed losing another wife.

Not that Carson had to worry about being lonely — just being careful.

Sometime around 1970 his skirt-chasing earned him a beating from a mobster’s entourage and a contract on his life. Bushkin says some high-level talks allowed Carson to walk the streets of New York again without fear of being killed for hitting on the wrong guy’s girl.

Family and finances were sore spots for Carson. His mercilessly cool mother remained unfazed and unappreciative of his incredible success. He had his own problems relating to his three boys. When son Rick landed in a mental hospital for two weeks, Bushkin writes, Carson refused to drive across town to visit.

Pleading that the publicity would not be good for either Carson, he sent Bushkin instead.

In Bushkin’s telling, Carson was too trusting of managers and other financial advisers, making him an easy victim of bad deals.

He had other weaknesses, too. Mrs. Carson 3.0 was willing to sign a prenuptial agreement designed to protect Carson’s fortune. But he balked at the last minute, saying it was a terrible way to start a marriage.

“This romantic gesture,” his lawyer says, “would cost Johnny $35 million.”

‘Swingland’ peeks into kinky underworld Brooke Lefferts “Swingland: Between the Sheets of the Secretive, Sometimes Messy, but Always Adventurous Swinging Lifestyle” (Touchstone), by Daniel Stern Sexual healing comes in all forms. In the new book “Swingland,” author Daniel Stern outs himself and his community, while offering a fascinating peek into the underworld of kinky sex with multiple partners.

The book is part memoir, part how-to for those curious about “exploring the coital landscape,” as Stern calls it.

A Hollywood screenwriter, Stern knows how to tell a story, and documenting life as a swinger in Los Angeles makes a great elevator pitch. He follows his own sexual journey — from fearful adolescent to insecure, inexperienced college boy, to empowered adult — inviting readers in with self-deprecating humor and honesty.

The book is full of comical anecdotes, including two injuries Stern sustained while in the throes of passion. But his ability to laugh at himself and the absurdity of some situations helps create a bond with the reader.

A self-proclaimed average Joe in looks and prowess, Stern suggests that you don’t have to

be a male model or porn star to participate in the “Lifestyle.”

Dissatisfied with his lack of experience and poor performance under pressure, he got into swinging as a way to conquer his angst.

“I was demystifying the act of sex … chipping away at the fear it held over me … I’d escaped the performance-hindering anxiety and understood sex for what it was: fun,” he writes.

Breaking into swinging circles isn’t an easy task. The group has its own rules and lexicon — and is fiercely self-protective. It takes Stern about two years of cruising websites, networking and suc-

cessful encounters to build up a roster of partners to meet for “playtime.” As he racks up the “certs” (positive certifications or testimonials) from former lovers on his website profiles, his dance card stays full, playing as often as three times a week.

But happy endings aren’t always guaranteed. Stern confides one of the hazards of swinging: “unrelenting, soul-crushing, suicide-inducing rejection.”

Once he becomes indoctrinated, he enjoys the variety and unpredictability, and finds it difficult to go back to a “Vanilla” life.

Stern’s writing is engaging, but the book should be 100 pages shorter. Much of the advice is repetitive and takes the reader out of the narrative.

It’s the misadventures in “Swingland” — crazy mismatched couples, hotel rooms crowded with nude strangers and sexting at work — that draw readers in. The chapters on exact email wording to attract partners get tedious, and advice on preparing for a swinging experience — from hygiene, to clothing, to manners — is similar to the regular dating world, and not revelatory.

There are dozens of explicit sexual encounters in the book, but those looking for erotic fiction may be disappointed by Stern’s matter-of-fact descrip-

tions. It’s more 50 Nights of Play than “Fifty Shades of Grey.”

Most swingers only use a first name or pseudonym, and rarely discuss their personal lives.

Perhaps this detachment prevents Stern from delving into how swinging affects relationships with his family and friends.

It might have added dimension to the book to know more about how swingers navigate the world, while maintaining their secret diversion.

While divulging their lascivious desires and behavior, Stern speaks of his fellow swingers with respect. He accepts that they come in all shapes, sizes and ages, and he believes their unconventional hobby doesn’t preclude them from sustaining loving relationships.

Stern is forthright about his reasons for trying the lifestyle, and admits to becoming somewhat addicted to swinging.

Although the book has a lighthearted tone, the author is able to look inward to question his motives. He writes intelligently about his fears of commitment and returning to monogamous “vanilla” life, even as he desires companionship.

“Swingland” is a seductive story about a mysterious subculture, but ultimately, it’s about transformation and one man’s search for his own naked truth.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Average U.S. rates on fixed mortgages rose slightly this week, staying near threemonth lows. Rates could fall next week now that lawmakers reached a deal to avert a possible government debt default and reopen the federal government.

Mortgage buyer Freddie Mac said Thursday that the average rate on the 30-year loan increased to 4.28 percent from 4.23 percent last week. The average on the 15-year fixed loan edged up to 3.33 percent from 3.31 percent.

Mortgage rates began falling last month after the Federal Reserve held off slowing its $85-billion-a-month in bond purchases. The bond buys are

intended to keep longer-term interest rates low, including mortgage rates.

And rates stayed relatively low during the 16-day partial government shutdown.

Rates are likely to fall even lower now that Congress reached a deal to reopen the government and allow the Treasury to borrow normally until early February.

Mortgage rates tend to follow the yield on the 10-year Treasury note.

The 10-year note fell to 2.61 percent Thursday, down from 2.74 percent Tuesday.

To calculate average mortgage rates, Freddie Mac surveys lenders across the country on Monday

through Wednesday each week. The average doesn’t include extra fees, known as points, which most borrowers must pay to get the lowest rates.

One point equals 1 percent of the loan amount.

The average fee for a 30-year mortgage was steady at 0.7 point. The fee for a 15-year loan also was unchanged at 0.7 point.

The average rate on a one-year adjustable-rate mortgage slipped to 2.63 percent from 2.64 percent and the fee held at 0.4 point.

The average rate on a five-year adjustable mortgage rose to 3.07 percent from 3.05 percent. The fee was unchanged at 0.4 point.

‘Rooms We Love’ offers memorable spaces, home tips If you’re like me, you love to visit other people’s homes and see the unique way they express their style and personality through interior design. That is exactly what I’ve created in “Nell Hill’s Rooms We Love” (Andrews McMeel Publishing, $17.99), my newest book. Page after page of photos offer a private tour of the homes of several of my dearest friends.

From the panoramic room scenes to the closeups of brilliantly executed displays, the photos will inspire you to draw on your own good taste to turn your house into your dream home. To get your creativity flowing, the book showcases a wide range of homes, including a century-old English Tudor, a sweeping country manor and a suburban remodel. I also feature my home, a historic Greek revival in quaint Atchison, Kan. Get ready to be blown away by the majesty of Mike and Beth Fox’s home. The Foxes found just the right land to build their dream home, with grand, dramatic spaces for entertaining family and throwing large parties. The challenge: creating cozy and warm places within.

In a large space, you can’t have too many little things or they’ll look insignificant. But you don’t want all your furniture to look as if it’s on steroids. My solution: I parked a 53-inch square leather ottoman in front of the fireplace to create a strong focal point that’s

still functional and flexible. It allows extra seating or serving space near the three adjacent couches; it’s easy to clean, with no sharp edges that might injure small grandchildren. The room’s other seating mixes mohair and tartan plaids for a lively look.

The book pokes through the home of Mark and Julie Wenger, who live in a small town in Kansas.

They completely renovated their home, gutting and updating it so the house better suited their modern lifestyle. The result is a stunning, livable space.

I spend a lot of time in the home of my friends Mike and Marsee Bates, and I can’t wait for you to visit their Tudor, too.

Marsee is a collector, and she always amazes me by how she effortlessly weaves her unique collectibles in with her newest finds and seasonal decor.

When my friends Andy and Anne Epstein decided to build their family dream home, Anne did her research. She filled a file with photos of rooms she loved. Then, she threaded the best of the best together to create a home for her young family that looks like it jumped from the pages of a magazine.

I’ve filled “Rooms We Love” with lots of tips and techniques you can use to create rooms you love.

You’ll discover secrets for romancing a room, new ways to use color to transform a space and my guiding principles for interior design.

Miami Valley Sunday News • www.troydailynews.com

Sunroom, skylight add natural light to home Kamil Ugurbil grew up in Turkey along the Mediterranean coast. When he moved to cold, landlocked Minnesota with his wife, Jutta Ellermann, he hungered for bright sunlight.

“I need more light,” he said, “especially in the winter.”

In 1993, Ellermann and Ugurbil moved a little emotionally closer to home when they bought a Mediterraneanstyle house in Minneapolis. It was even on a body of water, although it was the Kenilworth Lagoon rather than the sea.

The problem? The 1920s-era house had very few windows, which made it dark inside.

The couple’s quest for natural light led them to architect Chris Strom of TEA2 Architects in Minneapolis, who came up with a design for a modern sunroom addition to the front of the home. With its white stuccoed walls, wroughtiron railing on the terrace and multipane windows, the addition’s exterior maintains the traditional Mediterranean style. But inside, the simple clean-lined spaces showcase the couple’s modern taste.

“We are people of history, and this house captures our past and our present,” said Ugurbil.

While walking their dog one day, Ellermann and Ugurbil happened onto the Mediterraneanstyle house. Not only did it have an exterior they both liked, but it boasted an expansive backyard on the lagoon. Another plus: It was not far from the University of Minnesota, where Ellermann is a radiologist and Ugurbil is a physicist and professor.

Kamil Ugurbil and Jutta Ellermann with their daughter, Aileen, in the sunroom of their Minneapolis home.

They knew structure — more than 70 years old — needed a multitude of updates, but “it had so many original features, and we saw its potential,” said Ellermann. “We knew we would renovate it when we bought it.”

In the mid-1990s, the couple hired TEA2 Architects to design the first phase of the renovation, which included knocking down walls to open up the dark main floor, adding a family room and second-floor master suite. They also put in a large contemporary kitchen with hardware-free cabinets and a massive freestanding center island.

“It’s clean and modern — and was very forward for the 1990s,” said Ugurbil of the first remodeling job.

The family room, which had windows offering views of canoes gliding along the lagoon, solved Ugurbil’s neverending need for light — but only in the morning. By the afternoon, the sun had moved to the opposite side of the house.

So, in 2006, the couple enlisted Strom for the second phase of remodeling.

The challenge was to bring in natural light in the afternoon and evening.

They showed Strom ideas from modern architecture books and magazines, but made it clear that they didn’t want a glass-walled solarium stuck onto their traditional home.

Strom designed the 400-squarefoot sunroom on the southwest

SHNS Photo

corner of the house.

“By projecting it out 8 feet, we were able to get three sides of light,” he said. The floor-toceiling divided-light windows and full-height French doors blend with the home’s existing architecture.

Inside, a continuous “floating” soffit around the perimeter of the room screens the motorized privacy shades and houses built-in, indirect lighting for a clean, uncluttered look. White painted woodwork offers a crisp contrast to the heated dark gray polished concrete floors.

The sunroom has column-like forms in every corner, which give the room “depth, dimension and strength,” said Strom.

At Ugurbil’s request, Strom

added another source of natural light: a massive skylight.

Strom joined two standardsized Velux skylights to create the large opening in the ceiling. A hackberry tree provides shade in the summer so the room doesn’t get too hot, and warmth in the winter when the tree drops its leaves.

The sunroom’s placement also offers unobstructed views of the front-yard gardens and the lagoon.

“When you’re sitting in the sunroom, you can appreciate the connection between the front and the back of the house,” said Strom. “It gives you a strong sense of place within the neighborhood.”

As part of the project, the couple requested a Europeanstyle basement wine room, which was built under the sunroom. A raw concrete wall, unearthed during excavation, was left in place to add ambience to the cellar. The far concrete wall holds a modern sculptural wine rack, which is always a topic of conversation at gatherings. The rack is made of steel rods suspended from the ceiling. Wine bottles rest on walnut wood blocks.

Not surprisingly, Ugurbil wanted some light even in the basement wine room. So Strom came up with an innovative solution: a “light slot” made of thick glass installed in the floor of the sunroom and the ceiling of the wine room that draws diffused light into the basement.

Now that the renovated Minneapolis home has so much sun, Ugurbil says he misses the Mediterranean a little bit less.

Master bedroom becomes in-home retreat Genny and Steve have a bustling household.

With seven people coming and going, the couple dreamed of a master bedroom retreat where they could chill out at the end of the day, maybe with a movie and a glass of wine.

Their bedroom was huge but sparsely decorated, with a waterbed taking center stage. The bed was flanked by TV trays functioning as bedside tables, and the rest of the furnishings consisted of a pair of dated dressers and an old armchair.

Genny and Steve absolutely love their waterbed, so it had to stay.

However, I was determined to give this 1980s relic a facelift. I designed a tall custom headboard upholstered in contrasting neutral fabrics, and finished it off with nailhead trim. Waterbed sheets are nonexistent these days, so we had to make our own, along with a custom bed skirt to conceal the bed frame.

Two stylish nightstands with beautiful woodtiled inlay flank the bed, replacing those old TV trays. And, instead of table lamps, elegant pendant lights are suspended from the ceiling above each nightstand. We added a cozy duvet and some patterned pillows.

Voila! You’d never even know this was a waterbed — until you sat down, that is.

The old dressers were also staying. They were a wedding present, so they have sentimental value.

We refaced them with a veneer of new contrasting wood laminates and some snazzy new hardware. These dated dressers became stylish pieces that will last for decades more.

The master bedroom SHNS Photo was huge, so we applied molding across the vast Genny and Steve love their busy family life, but when things get a expanse of ceiling for bit too hectic in the rest of the house, they can now retreat to their an inexpensive coffered bedroom sanctuary. look.

and an oval coffee table with an antiqued mirror top adds a touch of elegance to the lounge area.

Privacy sheers cover the smallish bedroom window, which seems much larger with the addition of custom-made dummy panels. Although most of the fabrics are neutral, I added a big punch of color with varying shades of blue in cushions, draperies and accessories.

The overall effect is one of calm serenity.

Genny and Steve love their busy family life, but when things get too hectic in the rest of the house, they now can retreat to their bedroom sanctuary.

After a movie and a glass of wine, they’ll be ready to re-engage with the rest of the family — or not.

Furnace timing ignites debate: Heat is on, or is it?

At this time of year, domestic tranquility hovers somewhere between “brrrrr” and “grrrrr.”

With overnight temperatures slipping, many households confront the question of when to turn on the furnace. Newlyweds might think this is a simple call.

They would be wrong.

“Every year my wife turns the (heat) on around the time our daily high temps only reach to 75,” said Eric Davis of Minneapolis. In Minnesota, that usually means early September, which makes him crazy and even a little ill. “There’s always a burning, dusty smell in our house the first time the heat kicks on. I always get some sort of sinus condition after the

fact.”

Davis has, on occasion, responded by sneaking into the basement and turning off the furnace system.

“She doesn’t know where the furnace switch is located, so she can’t do anything about it,” he said. “And I’ve removed the batteries from the gas fireplace’s remote control, or altogether hidden the remote control.”

All of which sound like actions that would generate some heat.

Patrick Pfundstein of St. Paul said temperatures inside his home have to drop to 50 degrees before he even begins to consider turning on the furnace. “Probably helps explain my single status,” he added.

Once the heat is on, he sets the thermostat at 60 degrees, but he’ll “maybe go wild and 65 on the weekends.”

He said it’s not a matter of saving money, but of metabolism — a circumstance that comes up with curious consistency.

Why do women always complain that they’re chilly? Why do men always grouse that the house is too warm? When Freud proclaimed, “Anatomy is destiny,” had his wife just edged toward the thermostat?

Turns out there’s some science to the shivering.

In the mid-1800s, a German doctor, Carl Reinhold August Wunderlich, determined that

the average adult has a body temperature of 98.6 degrees.

Women, however, generally had slightly higher body temps — about one-third of a degree.

Still, the standard was established, even inspiring a 1967 hit song by one-hit wonder Keith: Hey, 98.6, it’s good to have you back again. (Apologies for the earworm.)

In 1998, researchers at the University of Utah looked into why women, even with higher body temperatures, are more likely to feel cold. In fact, they found that women’s hands were consistently 3 degrees colder than men’s hands.

The explanation lies in how men and women differ in terms

of size, weight and proportion.

Men tend to have more heatgenerating muscle than women, researchers said, while women tend to have more heat-retaining fat than men.

Fat insulates internal organs at the expense of extremities — fingers and toes. So while women technically may have warmer hearts, if their toes are freezing, they feel cold. So this isn’t as much about gender as body type.

One person’s arctic blast is another’s refreshing briskness.

There’s another, more psychological reason that some resist the inevitable: As long as the furnace remains off, it’s still late summer. Right?

In this June 23 file photo provided by the Discovery Channel, aerialist Nik Wallenda walks a 2-inch-thick steel cable taking him a quarter mile over the Little Colorado River Gorge, Ariz. Television executives are looking for more than hot actors these days. With ratings for Wallenda’s tightrope walks across Niagara Falls and the Grand Canyon in mind, networks have taken meetings from people wanting to show cars flipping over, or set a record for simultaneous skydiving.

Live events proving worth for networks NEW YORK (AP) — Television executives are looking for more than hot actors these days.

They’re searching for the next Nik Wallenda.

With ratings for Wallenda’s tightrope walks across Niagara Falls and the Grand Canyon in mind, networks are taking meetings from people pitching programs about cars flipping over, or an attempt to set a record for simultaneous skydives. They’re all on the hunt for the next big event.

Social media and television’s economic system have given rise to a counterintuitive trend: The more opportunities there are for people to watch TV on their own time with DVRs and video on demand, the more valuable programming that can deliver a big live audience has become.

It’s not just stunts. Live sports, awards shows, singing competitions and the Olympics are all examples of programs that networks consider DVR-proof.

“The larger the event, the more buzz-worthy it becomes, the more social it becomes and it breaks

through the clutter,” said Andy Kubitz, ABC scheduling chief.

Wallenda’s walk across Niagara Falls last year was a Top 10 show that week for ABC. An average of 10.7 million people saw him on a tightrope stretched over the Grand Canyon in June — the most-watched live event in Discovery’s history.

Watching ruefully from his office was NBC executive Paul Telegdy, whose network partly paid for Wallenda’s tightrope.

NBC had been planning to air it, but Telegdy said his bosses at the time got cold feet.

“The Voice” and, in particular, the London summer Olympics taught TV executives that social media conversations about programs can create excitement and build a larger audience. That’s true of taped programs, but much more so with live events.

Building a big live event was the idea behind “The Million Second Quiz,” which NBC aired over two weeks in September.

The competition was live, and viewers were encouraged to play along on their tablets at home.

The show was a critical failure and didn’t meet NBC’s commercial expectations, but it still reached more people than the reruns that would otherwise be shown. Telegdy said it’s important to take such risks, as NBC will do over the holidays with a live production of “The Sound of Music.”

“If somebody has a big, crazy and ambitious idea, they’re going to call me before they call other places,” he said.

Networks love programming that makes news — a stumbling celebrity on “Dancing With the Stars” or cringe-worthy audition on “American Idol” — to create the aura that people who don’t watch live are missing something.

Awards shows are dependable draws, even more so in recent years. Networks try to stretch the experience by making red carpet shows or, in the case of the Grammys, a performance show built around the announcement of nominees.

Sports are becoming more visible in prime-time. NBC’s fall schedule flows from its Sunday

night NFL game. Saturday night, once the outpost for reruns or “America’s Most Wanted” on Fox, is now dominated by football games. Fox is looking forward to airing World Cup soccer.

Scripted dramas can become events of their own with cliffhangers, bold plot twists or special guests. A program that pushes its way into the national conversation — think of the brutal “red wedding” episode of HBO’s “Game of Thrones” — is pure gold.

AMC’s “Breaking Bad” series finale and “The Walking Dead” season premiere qualified as big events that many people had to see when they first aired. It’s ironic, then, that much of their popularity is attributable to delayed viewing by people who discovered the shows on streaming services.

“To be able to put on a program that week in and week out viewers must see that day — that is every broadcast networks’ goal,” said Dan Harrison, a planning and programming executive at Fox.

SHNS Phoot

The Hunt & Gather shop in Minneapolis attracts men looking for vintage items. Norbert Schiller found a hat to his liking as he helped his college-bound son find items for his dorm room.

Antiquing, junking among men is surging Jason Koenig winced at people using taxidermy as decor until he did so himself. Now the St. Paul, Minn., real-estate agent has a 4-foot barracuda mounted above his stone fireplace, along with life-size teal-and-yellow bulldog statues flanking the staircase.

“I never thought I’d own a fish mount,” Koenig said. “But it’s so cool. I had to have it.”

Koenig’s living-room conversation pieces were purchased at the Bearded Mermaid Bazaar in St. Paul. The hodgepodge vintage-style shop belongs to an emerging segment of the antiquing market that’s tailoring its inventory to men.

This movement of guys who sift through trash to find their treasure even has its own name — “mantiquing.”

Thanks to the popularity of TV shows like “American Pickers” and “Storage Wars,” antiquing and junking among men is surging. As the American home grows in size, family members have spaces of their own, and collectibles that were once relegated to the garage or wood shop are finding space on walls and bookshelves in the basement bar or in the proverbial man cave.

For some mantiquers, the more offbeat the better. The Bearded Mermaid’s collection of oddities has included a stuffed raccoon with its paw on a Schmidt beer can (it now resides in a local barbershop).

“This isn’t your typical grandma’s antique store,” said Bearded Mermaid owner Nick Soderstrom. “I have what guys are looking for — good American-made stuff.”

Among the “stuff” in question: An 8-foot-tall taxidermy giraffe — which may or may not be American-made.

That’s not to say women don’t appreciate such eclectic decor, said Jim Bailey, a longtime antiques dealer and artist. Generally speaking, however, women are after fine pottery, porcelain and glass, while men are drawn to tools, hunting and fishing gear and sports memorabilia.

“There’s not too many guys dealing in dishes,” said Bailey. “But I don’t know a guy who wouldn’t want a moose head on his wall.”

Sue Whitney, editor and founder of Junk Market Style magazine, admits she searches

specifically for those collectibles that appeal to the masculine sex and makes sure they’re visible from the window of her shop, Get Fresh Vintage in Lanesboro, Minn.

“Junk,” as Whitney proudly puts it, is becoming more acceptable in general. That’s why more antique stores are morphing into vintage shops.

“I’m very attracted to things that would be in a mantique section of a store,” she said.

“Mantiques can help take the lacy edge off a feminine look.”

Male shoppers outnumbered women this one recent afternoon at Hunt and Gather, a mantiquing mecca in Minneapolis.

Inside, a silver serving plate held turtle shells for $16 apiece. Baby alligator heads — teeth intact — were displayed neatly across from a basket of old baseball mitts. Wooden water skis hung in the window and a collection of teacups sat atop an old medical stretcher. Turns out some mantiquers have a particular interest in quack medical equipment, such as doctor’s kits and anesthesia devices.
