Mojave Desert gunman’s life crumbled to bloody end

RIDGECREST, Calif. (AP) — Sergio Munoz was known around this small desert city to acquaintances as a personable dad, and to police for his long rap sheet.

In recent weeks, he began losing the moorings of a stable life — his job, then his family. Kicked out of the house, he had been staying at a friend’s place, using and dealing heroin.

Life fully unraveled when Munoz, with two hostages in his trunk, led officers on a wild chase Friday after killing a woman and injuring his crash-pad friend.

He shot the friend after he had refused to join what Munoz planned would be a final rampage against police and “snitches.�

Munoz knew the authorities well enough that after the initial, pre-dawn slaying he called one patrol officer’s cellphone and announced that he wanted to kill all police in town. Because he would be outgunned at the station he would instead “wreak havoc� elsewhere, Kern County Sheriff Donny Youngblood said at a news conference Friday.

Hundreds of people came from near and far to participate Saturday morning, dressed in a variety of costumes. Some of the costumes worn included the Three Little Pigs, a family dressed as the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, a duo riding in a homemade tank, zombies, princesses, and many more.

The costume parade kicked off at 9:30 a.m. at the Hobart building and ended at the square. The parade was followed by the costume contest — where to boys and girls from infant to fifth grade, families and pets received prizes — then concluded with the merchant trick

TROY — Helping those with disabilities find gainful employment is a cause Sharon Emerick champions all year long.

However, if one month dedicated to that cause helps raise awareness, it’s something the operations manager at RT Industries will gladly support. “This month is an opportunity for us to keep educating people about what we do,� Emerick said of the month of October, which has been dedicated National Disability Employment Awareness Month by the U.S. Department of Labor.

From page A1 workers with disabilities.”

For Emerick and the staff at RT Industries, helping those with disabilities find employment is nothing new.

It is is the non-profit corporation component of the Miami County Board of Developmental Disabilities. It provides real, paid work experiences for adults in Miami County with developmental disabilities. These work experiences can be training in nature or they can lead to full time, productive employment.

Emerick said RT Industries, which has been located in Troy since 1973, currently has about 150 clients employed at 32 different businesses throughout Miami County. Not only do clients earn money, but they also gain confidence and feel a part of society, Emerick said.

“It may not sound politically correct, but we help people to feel included,” Emerick said. “They get picked for a job and that gives them a lot of confidence.

Their work ethic explodes. It’s important that they feel included and are a part of what is going on. We don’t want them to feel separated. A word we use a lot is ‘integrated’ — we want to see our people integrated, not segregated, in the community.”

RT Industries not only trains its clients for the working world, but helps them find employment with a business partner and continues to follow up with the businesses after its clients become

While some families are regulars at the event, there were some first-timers on hand Saturday. Shawn and Tina Waterman, who have been residents of Troy for about a year now, have been excited about bringing their kids (Owen, 4, and Maddie, 1) to the event since moving to town from Texas.

“I was interviewing for a job here last year, saw this in the newspaper and thought this would be a great place to live,” Shawn Waterman said. “So we’ve been kind of excited about being able to participate in it. We thought it would be cool for the kids.

“It’s been fun so far. It’s obviously a little chilly, but with all the kids, you can see the differences.

Some are really into it.

Some are kind of like us, just showing up.”

The event is ran in a collaborative effort between Troy Main Street and the Troy Noon Optimist club, and is sponsored by Alvetro Orthodontics.

“It’s a joint project between Troy Main Street and the (Troy) Noon Optimist, so it’s not a difficult event, because we do share the work load,” executive director of Troy Main Street Karin Manovich explained. “We take care of organizing the downtown merchants

worked 10 years in finance for a Life Insurance Company and 18 years in finance in both the areas of retail and manufacturing for an agricultural fertilizer and chemical company.”

Past Political Experience: “None as a candidate for a public office, but as the Treasurer of Troy City Schools I did participate in political campaigns to pass operating levies for the school district.”

Why did you decide to run/seek reelection?: “After serving as the interim Fiscal Officer for Concord Township for six months and attending the twice a month meetings of the trustees for the last two and a half years, I have had the opportunity to experience a different perspective of how local government meets the needs of people. I think this is what governance was meant to be, where elected officials are available and are able to respond appropriately when called by a constituent. I want to contribute and serve people this way.”

What are the key issues facing Concord Township?: “The Local Government Funding from the State of Ohio has been significantly reduced over the past two years. And on Jan. 1, 2013 legislation went into effect to eliminate Estate Taxes. Both of these funding sources have been very important forms of revenue to the township in covering the cost of the operating expenses.

The impact of these reductions will be twofold; first, the largest single operating expense of the township is the repaving of the 36 miles of roadways.

Because of these funding reductions the repaving schedule for the roadways will have to be reconsidered as will the provision of other services that assist the people in the maintenance of their properties and second, there will be an impact on the money needed to replace the equipment, i.e., trucks and snow plows, tractors and mowers, etc. that is necessary so the township can provide these services.”

What special insights/ talents do you bring to Concord Township: “Having the opportunity to serve as the interim fiscal officer for the Concord Township has given me a detailed working knowledge of the township’s fiscal operations. Along with this I have 20 years of experience in governmental finance as the Treasurer of Troy Schools and a lifetime of managerial and administrative experiences working in both the public and private sector for two national companies. There will be no learning curve for me to learn the job of the trustee. I can begin serving effectively the day I am sworn into office.”

will face another shutdown within the next three years?

PERSPECTIVE

EDITORIAL ROUNDUP The Australian on cunning Carr exits stage left: Bob Carr was one of the few ministers in the Gillard government who seemed to be enjoying himself. In November 1984, just a year after he was elected to the NSW parliament, he confided in his diary that “the ultimate taste of politics” would be to serve as minister for foreign affairs in a Labor government.

It explains why Senator Carr relished the job as foreign minister, even though he held the post for just 18 months. He had also long coveted a seat on the red leather benches of the Senate, putting his name forward on at least four previous occasions. Voters have every right to be disappointed that Senator Carr has quit before his new six-year term commences next July. Yet as he argued yesterday, parties should use casual vacancies to attract into politics people with experience. The Australian welcomed his appointment to the Senate. We suggested Labor and the Coalition look to other former premiers, in addition to leaders in fields outside politics, to bolster their parliamentary ranks.

It is disappointing to see that NSW Labor is set to hand the Senate vacancy to Deborah O’Neill, a oneterm MP who lost her NSW central coast seat of Robertson at the election. The party has not taken his parting advice.

Nor does it seem the Gillard government heeded much of his advice, despite decades of political experience. Senator Carr’s resignation leaves John Faulkner as the only political adult in the Labor caucus. The departure of Labor elders Martin Ferguson and Simon Crean, with links to the Hawke-Keating era, leaves Labor lacking the experience it needs to find its way back to the mainstream political centre.

Yesterday, Senator Carr offered advice on three issues that have caused Labor much political pain: carbon pricing, asylum-seeker policy and media regulation. …

Senator Carr began his political career in 1983 as a backbencher in Wran’s NSW Labor government. He served as a minister from 1984 to 1988. He led NSW Labor in opposition. Although there were missed opportunities during his period as NSW premier, from 1995 to 2005, he was often politically astute and an effective communicator. On policy, we sometimes differed with Senator Carr, particularly on his decision to mount a backroom political revolt against Julia Gillard on Palestine’s status at the UN. But we acknowledge that Australia won a UN Security Council seat on his

watch, that the drawdown of troops in Afghanistan was handled well and that key bilateral relationships were generally strong. But it is Senator Carr’s political acumen and his ability to tell a story, albeit often directed at Labor’s self-interest, which the party will miss most.

The Japan Times on U.S. deal is made: There was a collective sigh of relief as Democrats and Republicans in the U.S. Congress agreed at the 11th hour on a deal that reopened the government and averted a debt default. The agreement represents a virtually complete victory for President Barack Obama, who held steady to his position refusing to negotiate with a gun to his head.

He is right. Extortion is no way to run a government. Unfortunately it is not clear if hardline Republicans have learned a lesson. The terms of the deal mean that they will have another chance in a few months to try to bring the president, the Democrats and the country to their knees.

As always the final hours of negotiation were messy. As Senate leaders from both parties looked set to strike a deal, House Republicans tried to pre-empt any compromise with a plan of their own. That gambit temporarily stalled the Senate talks.

Again, however, those GOP representatives were unable to agree among themselves, leaving a simple choice: the Senate proposal or default. Sensing that a default would be a mistake, the House GOP leadership abandoned its fealty to the Hastert rule — a self-imposed principle by which any legislation tabled by the GOP must enjoy a majority of the majority — and allowed a vote on the Senate proposal.

Having passed the Senate by a margin of 81-18 vote, the House followed by approving it 285 to 144.

All dissenters were Republicans.

Obama signed the bill just after midnight.

The final agreement funds the government until Jan. 15, 2014, and raises the debt ceiling until Feb. 7.

In the interim, a bipartisan commission from both chambers will attempt to hammer out a larger budget deal that includes entitlement and tax code reform to provide longterm deficit reduction. The commission is to wrap up its work by Dec. 13 and then face a vote from the entire Congress.

Unfortunately it is precisely Congress’ inability to strike such a deal that put the U.S. in this position. …

Obama is right to insist that extortion is no way to run a government and that concessions in these circumstances will only cripple future presidents.

It is not clear what, if anything, Republicans have learned from this debacle. GOP popularity ratings have reached historical lows.

The party is perceived as being responsible for the shutdown, ready to take the U.S. economy and, by extension, the world economy to the precipice, and as being more interested in photo opportunities than in the hardships imposed on ordinary Americans.

Many Republicans continue to dismiss the notion that a default will damage U.S. status and influence around the world. While GOP moderates acknowledge the damage done to their party’s image — and hope that memories will fade by the time of the 2014 midterm elections so that the party can retake control of the Senate — hardliners insist that the only problem is that they were not radical enough. …

The questions remain: How many more times must the world watch the spectacle of lawmaker brinkmanship over the U.S. debt, and what it will take to silence the radicals? Ultimately, it is up to U.S. voters to stop this madness and demand accountability from their politicians. It is not too much to ask for.

They Said It “Even when I’m not actively working, it’s something I’m always thinking about. It’s not something you ever really stop thinking about. I like to joke that even when I’m sleeping, I’m often dreaming about work — what needs to be done and what needs to be taken care of.”

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Marcia Wallace, the voice of scoffing schoolteacher Edna Krabappel on “The Simpsons,” whose wisecracking characters on “The Bob Newhart Show” and other prime-time hits endeared her to generations of TV viewers, has died.

“Simpsons” executive producer Al Jean called said in a statement Saturday that her “irreplaceable character,” the fourth-grade teacher who contended with Bart Simpson’s constant antics, would be retired from the show. Wallace was 70.

“I was tremendously saddened to learn this morning of the passing of the brilliant and gracious Marcia Wallace. She was beloved by all at The Simpsons,” Jean said. It’s “a terrible loss for all who had the pleasure of knowing her.”

The statement did not provide a date for her death, or a cause.

The longtime TV actress’ credits ranged from playing a receptionist on “The Bob Newhart Show” to appearances on Candice Bergen’s “Murphy Brown.”

On “The Simpsons,” Wallace provided the voice for world-weary Edna Krabappel (cru-BOP’-pul), who smoked cigarettes, made sarcastic comments

and finally found love in the arms of Simpson’s neighbor Ned Flanders after fans voted online at the end of season 22 to keep the unlikely couple together.

Wallace’s trademark “Ha!” punctuated Krabappel’s frequent wisecracks, and her character was also known for the

catchphrase, “Do what I mean, not what I say.”

Harry Shearer, the voice of Ned Flanders on the show, said Wallace “brought this huge, positive energy” to her work on “The Simpsons.”

“She was just a warm and wonderful person,” Shearer told The Associated Press.

WASHINGTON (AP) — For nearly five years, Republicans have struggled to make a scandal stick to President Barack Obama’s White House. One by one, the controversies — with shorthand names such as Solyndra, Benghazi, and Fast and Furious — hit a fever pitch, then faded away.

But some Republicans see the disastrous rollout of Obama’s health law as a problem with the kind of staying power they have sought.

The health care failures are tangible for millions of Americans and can be experienced by anyone with Internet access. The law itself is more closely associated with Obama personally and long has been unpopular with the majority of the American people.

The longer the technical problems persist, the more likely they are to affect the delicate balance of enrollees needed in the insurance marketplace in order to keep costs down.

“There’s no question the issue has legs, in part because it affects so many Americans very directly and in part because the glitches with the website are simply one of many fun-

damental problems with this law,” GOP pollster Whit Ayres said.

The cascade of computer problems began Oct. 1, when sign-ups opened for the marketplaces at the center of the law. Administration officials blamed the problems on high volume, but have since acknowledged more systemic issues with HealthCare.gov.

White House officials contend the website is just one piece of the broader law offering an array of benefits. They say that when the online issues are fixed — the latest estimate is the site will be working normally for most users by the end of November — few people will remember the problems that have marred the opening weeks of the six-month enrollment window.

“It says a lot about Republicans that their focus here is not on helping Americans get insured, but on making political hay of this mess,” said Dan Pfeiffer, Obama’s senior adviser.

There’s another mess the White House is dealing with that could have long-lasting implications, too: U.S. government spying on foreign leaders. The scope of the

surveillance programs was first made public in June and the revelations keep coming. The latest concern the alleged monitoring of German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s cellphone communications.

But unlike with the health law, many Republicans support the government surveillance policies, making it more difficult for the party to create a political furor over the revelations.

For GOP lawmakers, the White House’s stumbles on the Affordable Care Act have come at an optimal time, just one week after their strategy to shut down the government in exchange for concessions on health care imploded.

The health care debacle has overshadowed some of the Republican missteps and the GOP appears more than happy to keep the spotlight where it is.

Republicans have scheduled a series of congressional hearings on the program’s shortcomings, and have called for officials, including Health and Human S ervices S ecretary Kathleen Sebelius, to be fired. She is set to testify this coming week before a House committee.

GOP hopes Obama health care woes have staying power

Mojave Desert gunman’s life crumbled to bloody end

RIDGECREST, Calif.

(AP) — Sergio Munoz was known around this small desert city to acquaintances as a personable dad, and to police for his long rap sheet.

In recent weeks, he began losing the moorings of a stable life — his job, then his family.

Kicked out of the house, he had been staying at a friend’s place, using and dealing heroin.

Life fully unraveled when Munoz, with two hostages in his trunk, led officers on a wild chase Friday after killing a woman and injuring his crash-pad friend. He shot the friend after he had refused to join what Munoz planned would be a final rampage against police and “snitches.”

Munoz knew the authorities well enough that after the initial, predawn slaying he called one patrol officer’s cellphone and announced that he wanted to kill all police in town.

Because he would be outgunned at the station he would instead “wreak havoc” elsewhere, Kern County Sheriff Donny Youngblood said at a news conference Friday.

Munoz kept his word, first firing at drivers in Ridgecrest, according to police, then taking shots at pursuing officers and passing motorists during a chase along 30 miles of highway that runs through the shrub-dotted desert about 150 miles north of Los Angeles. He ran traffic off the road, firing at least 10 times at passing vehicles with a shotgun and a handgun, though no one was hurt.

In the end, Munoz pulled over on U.S. 395, turned in his seat and began shooting into the trunk — which had popped open earlier in the pursuit to reveal a man and woman inside.

As many as seven officers opened fire and killed him. The hostages were flown to a hospital in critical condition, but were expected to survive. Their names have not been released and police have not said anything about their relationship to Munoz.

In the neighborhood where the first shooting happened, people said Munoz was an affable man who would stop to chat, revealing no signs of inner turmoil.

“He didn’t show any anger,” said Edgar Martinez, who would see Munoz at a nearby gym and said he cleaned his house several years ago.

Others described him as respectful and humble.

But recently, his life began to crumble.

First, he became unemployed. According to his Facebook page, Munoz worked at Searles Valley Minerals, a company that makes products such as borax and soda ash by extracting a salty mix from beneath a desert lake bed. It was not clear whether he lost his job at Searles, or another business, and officials at Searles were unreachable Saturday.

Last Sunday, Munoz, 39, was arrested again — police found ammunition and a syringe at the house where the slaying would happen five days later. Munoz is a felon with convictions dating back to 1994, when he was sentenced to more than two years in prison for receiving stolen property. In May, he was arrested for possessing ammunition as a felon, but the felony charge was dismissed.

After making bail on the latest arrest, Munoz returned to the house where he first started staying about two weeks ago.

A neighbor heard Munoz bemoaning his life, saying he was losing everything due to drugs.

“He was a cool guy,” said the neighbor, Derrick Holland. “He was just losing his mind.”

Munoz’s estranged wife, Sandra Leiva, said that they separated because she finally had enough of his bad choices.

“Tough love and drugs, that’s what brought him down,” Leiva said.

On Saturday morning, Munoz’s 15-yearold daughter, Viviana, reflected on her father’s life in a Facebook post.

“Your such a great dad when you were not on drugs…I remember how you used always try and teach us how to dance all crazy with your chicken legs haha,” she wrote.

“You were a good father and person, you just made a sad choice.”

She promised to watch over her two younger brothers, now that their dad was gone.

Ridgecrest is a city of about 27,000 people adjacent to the vast Naval Air Weapons Station China Lake.

It sits near U.S. 395, which runs through the western Mojave, below the eastern flank of the Sierra Nevada.

“It’s a small town, pretty much everybody knows everybody,” said Ridgecrest police Sgt. Jed McLaughlin, who himself had arrested Munoz about 10 years ago.

The violence that ended with Munoz’s roadside death began Friday around 5:30 a.m. when Munoz rolled up the driveway to the house where he had been staying with his friend, Thaddeus Meier, and Meier’s longtime girlfriend.

“We’re going to reduce all of the snitches in town,” Munoz told Meier after rousing him with a knock on the front door, according to Meier’s sister, Dawn, recounting what her brother said from the hospital.

When her brother declined, Munoz shot him at least twice, then shot and killed Meier’s girlfriend. Her identity has not been released.

Dawn Meier said she saw Munoz using heroin and dealing the drug out of the house. She had been staying there with her brother until about a week ago, when her boyfriend insisted that she move out with her 7-month-old son due to all the drug-related foot traffic.

She said her brother called Munoz “a very, very good friend of mine” but that she is a good judge of character and thought him unpredictable, “just by the vibes I got.”

Suspect in Northern Calif. standoff surrenders ROSEVILLE, Calif.

(AP) — Some residents of a suburban Sacramento city still were waiting to return to their homes 24 hours after a Friday night shootout between law enforcement agents and a wanted parolee left six officers injured.

Ro s ev i l l e police spokesman Lt. Cal Walstad said that one Roseville police officer with a jaw wound and a federal immigration agent shot in the leg remain hospitalized Saturday in serious condition.

Four other Roseville officers injured by shrapnel were treated and released.

that includes assault and carjacking. Samuel Nathan Duran, 32, was taken to the Placer County jail Saturday after being treated for scrapes and cuts after surrendering just after midnight.

“Last night our community experienced what can happen in any when a violent wanted felon is completely committed to not going back to jail,” said Roseville Police Chief Daniel Hahn at a news conference Saturday.

Duran was being held on a parole violation, but Hahn said he expected multiple charges of attempted murder would be added.

State corrections officials told The Associated Press that Duran has a record stretching back to at least 2002, when he was convicted of possessing a controlled substance. In 2009, he was sentenced to four years for assault with a deadly weapon, resisting arrest and attempted carjacking.

Records show he was paroled last in April, but that the parole was revoked in July.

Officers on another mission recognized Duran when they saw him riding a bike Friday at about 3 p.m., the chief said. They recognized him as being wanted for the

parole violation.

A federal immigration agent attempted to chase Duran on foot, but was shot in the leg.

Officials said Duran was armed with a handgun but wouldn’t specify the type.

Duran quickly holed up in a nearby house, and a mother and child inside escaped out a side door.

The incident created scenes of panic and chaos in a typically quiet middle class suburb of about 120,000 that is 20 miles northeast of the state capitol. Walstad described multiple shooting sites as the suspect tried to escape a swarm of descending law enforcement agents, and reporters on the scene described hearing several volleys of gunfire.

As officers attempted to capture the suspect before his surrender, helicopters were circling overhead and armored vehicles and other police cars flocked to the area.

At least 15 homes were evacuated, and the area remained a crime scene late Saturday, Walstad said.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokeswoman Virginia Kice said that agency’s officer was stable and in good spirits after being taken to Sutter Roseville Medical Center.

A year after Sandy, a slow recovery for thousands NEW YORK (AP) — A year after Superstorm Sandy catastrophically flooded hundreds of miles of eastern U.S. coastline, thousands of people still trying to fix their soaked and surfbattered homes are being stymied by bureaucracy, insurance disputes and uncertainty over whether they can even afford to rebuild.

Billions of dollars in federal aid appropriated months ago by Congress have yet to reach homeowners who need that money to move on. Many have found flood insurance checks weren’t nearly enough to cover the damage.

And worse, new federal rules mean many in high-risk flood zones may have to either jack their houses up on stilts or pilings — an expensive, sometimes impossible task — or face new insurance rates that hit $10,000 or more per year.

“It’s just been such a terrible burden,” said Gina Maxwell, whose home in Little Egg Harbor, N.J., is still a wreck after filling with 4 feet of water.

Contractors say it will cost $270,000 to rebuild — about double what the insurance paid out. The family doesn’t have the money.

“What do we do with this house? Just give them the deed back?” she said. “My son is 11.

He has a little piggy bank in his room. He said, ‘Take it, mom.’”

In blue-collar Union Beach, N.J., the owner of the popular restaurant Jakeabob’s Bay has come up with only a quarter of the $2 million she needs to rebuild. In Long Beach, a barrier-island city of 33,000 on the coast of New York’s Long Island, residents in some neighborhoods say half their neighbors have yet to return.

“I don’t think Long Beach is ever going to be what it was,” said resident Ginger Matthews.

Sandy roared out of the Atlantic and struck the New York and New Jersey coasts on Oct. 29, 2012. The 1,000-milewide mashup of a hurricane and another huge weather system killed at least 182 people in the U.S., according to a count

by The Associated Press, and caused an estimated $65 billion in damage.

Floodwaters swept over densely populated barrier islands and pushed deep into bays and harbors from Atlantic City, N.J., all the way to Rhode Island. In New York City, the storm surge hit nearly 14 feet, sending the Hudson and East rivers pouring into the city’s subway and commuter tunnels and knocking out power to the southern third

In this Oct. 3 photo, workers prepare to attach a new section of the boardwalk in Long Beach, N.Y., where the entire 2.2 mile long boardwalk had to be replaced after it was damaged in Superstorm Sandy. A year after Sandy beach boardwalks were rebuilt and mountains of debris were removed, but for every success story, there are tales of continuing frustration.

of Manhattan. Gas stations ran out of fuel. High-rise residents had to carry water up darkened stairwells. Thousands of fragile patients evacuated crippled hospitals and nursing homes.

Out of that chaos came remarkable stories of recovery.

New York City’s submerged subways and tunnels sprang back to life with surprising speed.

Beach boardwalks were rebuilt.

Mountains of debris were removed. Flooded schools, nursing homes and amusement parks have reopened. The whine of power tools hasn’t ceased in many neighborhoods since the moment the floodwaters receded.

But for every success story, there are tales of continuing frustration.

On New York City’s Staten Island, where 23 people died, vacant lots have been multiplying on spots where homes once stood. Sheetrock and debris still decorate front lawns. Plywood covers bungalows, “Restricted Use” signs hanging on their front doors.

On the Jersey shore, officials said that in the tiny seaside borough of Mantoloking, where the storm washed dozens of homes clean into Barnegat Bay, fewer than half the buildings in town had been repopulated.

While some beach towns quickly rebuilt their seaside promenades and beaches, Toms

River, N.J., where hundreds of homes were destroyed, managed to rebuild only two blocks of boardwalk and had a small sliver of beach open this summer.

Beachgoers had to walk past rubble and still-to-be-torn-down houses to reach the sand.

The federal government has responded by pouring money into the region.

The Small Business Administration authorized $2.4 billion in disaster loans to more than 36,000 households and businesses, though it has paid out only about a quarter of that to date as storm victims have tried to figure out whether they can or should take on more debt.

FEMA gave $1.42 billion to help storm victims pay rent, replace lost possessions and make emergency repairs.

The agency gave another $2.7 billion to help municipalities clean up debris, repair critical infrastructure and reopen damaged hospitals. The federal flood insurance program paid $7.8 billion to nearly 132,000 policyholders who sustained damage during the storm.

But for some people, is hasn’t been enough. Many had no flood insurance. And the process of getting federal aid money into people’s hands has been slow.

First, the states had to build homeowner aid programs from scratch. Then it had to accept and process many thousands

A complex task in tallying Sandy’s death, damage TRENTON, N.J. (AP) — Tracking the toll of a disaster like Superstorm Sandy is not like keeping score at a baseball game. Its damage to lives and property may never be known precisely, and there are multiple ways to tally it.

In the case of deaths, tracking is done in some places by state governments, and in some by counties, and without one standard as to whether a death is attributable to the storm.

The federal government has reported two different death totals from the Oct. 29, 2012, storm. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, relying on data from the American Red Cross, counted 117. The National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration tally, which used local government figures and media accounts, was 159 caused directly or indirectly by the storm.

The Associated Press in September surveyed state, and in some cases, local governments along the storm’s path and got a different figure — 182 in the United States. A February report from the National Hurricane Center counted another 72 deaths in the Caribbean and one in Canada.

Any of the numbers would rank the storm as one of the 25 or so deadliest cyclones ever to hit the United States, but far behind earlier storms that killed hundreds or thousands.

David Dosa, a geriatrician at the Veterans Administration Medical Center in Providence, R.I., and an associate professor at Brown University, said he has found from studying death records of storms including Katrina that the official numbers tend to undercount deaths.

“When you don’t know what

a death is from, you quite often assume it came from something common like a coronary disease,” he said — even though the storm may have been a major factor.

Sandy was the first big storm in generations to hit the densely populated New York City area so hard. And the damage total is so high — $65 billion, according to a NOAA report — not necessarily because of the severity of the weather, but rather because of where it happened.

Damage calculations are constantly refined to add more detail, a factor that partly accounts for why more recent storms have higher damage amounts than those decades ago, even when inflation adjustments are made. For instance, until the 1990s, they did not include figures for business interruptions due to storms.

And now, those figures are likely not complete.

That $65 billion price tag and other estimates of Sandy’s damage would rank the storm the second-costliest cyclone in the U.S. since 1900, even considering inflation. But it would fall lower by another measure.

Roger Pielke Jr., an environmental studies professor at the University of Colorado, said the inflation-adjusted storm numbers tell more about how much wealthier the U.S. has become and how much its coasts have developed than how severe the weather is.

When models are used to figure out how much damage historic storms would have done if they had hit now, the $65 billion cost is no longer No. 2, but rather in the lower half of the top 10. Pielke said a hurricane that hit Miami in 1926 would have been worse, causing about four times as much damage as Sandy.

of applications, while navigating numerous federal rules and reviews.

Seth Diamond, director of storm recovery for New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, said the delays caused some homeowners to doubt that the program was real. But he said bureaucratic hurdles are getting resolved.

“We’ve gotten to the point where we can release money,” he said.

New York state sent letters this month to 4,300 homeowners on Long Island, saying they had qualified for a collective $452 million in federally funded, stateadministered rebuilding grants.

The average award was $112,000 — a godsend to people who had put off reconstructing their homes because they weren’t sure how to pay for the work.

New Jersey’s parallel rebuilding program began notifying 4,100 people of eligibility for similar grants at around the same time, with plans to eventually award $600 million.

On New York City’s beachfront enclave of Breezy Point, new homes are beginning to rise after many months of inactivity on the sandy blocks where fire burned 130 houses and flooding destroyed another 220.

“There’s hope. Things are finally starting to happen,” said police Capt. Roy Richter, as he watched a new house going up.

He hopes to be back home — in

a house elevated 7 feet higher than his old one — by St. Patrick’s Day. In Seaford Harbor, N.Y., auto mechanic Michael Serpico prepared to move into a camper in his driveway while contractors tear down his ruined home and build him a new one.

“Hopefully in six more months,” he said, “I’ll live like a human being again.”

It is hard to measure exactly where the rebuilding process stands today.

Neither the Federal Emergency Management Agency, nor state and officials in New York and New Jersey, were able to say this month how many people displaced by the storm have still been unable to return.

In early September, planning officials in hard-hit Ocean County, N.J., estimated that 26,000 people there were still unable to use damaged and destroyed homes. Estimates were lower elsewhere. New York City officials said maybe 1,000 homeowners and another 1,000 renters there were still in temporary lodging.

Since the hurricane, “resiliency” has become the buzzword to better prepare the coastline for a day when sea levels are higher and big floods happen more frequently.

New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg released a $19.5 billion plan calling for as many as 257 initiatives that might help the city survive future catastrophic weather events — a necessity since, according to new FEMA flood maps, the city has 68,000 buildings that lie within the 100-year flood plain.

Building codes throughout the region are being overhauled to let homeowners build higher. There are projects to build protective dunes, elevate electrical infrastructure and erect sea walls.

Yet, despite all that, “We are as vulnerable today as we were a year ago,” said Klaus Jacob, a research scientist at Columbia University’s Earth Institute.

Much of the rebuilding work is simply putting people back into the path of future floods, he said.

It is unclear whether people are really committed to planning for climate change.

If Sandy wasn’t enough of the warning, Jacob said, people should consider this: If ocean levels rise the way many climate scientists predict, Sandy’s catastrophic flood won’t be a onceper-century event. The water may be that high all the time.

“Even,” he said, “on a sunny summer day.”

Last of Sandy shelter’s strays is up for adoption

NEW YORK (AP) — In the chaotic weeks after Superstorm Sandy, nearly 300 stray and displaced pets hunkered down at an emergency shelter set up in a Brooklyn warehouse by the ASPCA. Over time, many were reunited with their owners.

Others were adopted.

Now there’s just one left: a little white kitten named Joy. The ASPCA is hoping someone will come forward and offer her a home.

Joy was probably around six months old when she was found wandering the streets of Brooklyn’s waterlogged Gravesend section just days after the storm, the advocacy group said.

Her history wasn’t entirely clear. Was she feral, or someone’s pet? Nobody was sure. No owner came forward. But she wasn’t in great physical shape and also seemed traumatized.

She hissed and hid when people approached.

“She was a skinny little thing when she came in here,” said Jesse Oldham, who has been caring for the cat in her small office at the ASPCA since February, when the emergency shelter closed. “You couldn’t get near her for the first month.”

Nursing Joy back to physical health and making her comfortable around humans again became a labor of love for the agency’s staff.

Oldham said she fed her

with a spoon, set up “play dates” with human companions and eventually lured her into her lap with dried codfish treats.

Joy looked healthy and energetic as she romped around Oldham’s office Friday. The small workspace is jammed with a litter box, food and water bowls, a cat carrier, two giant scratching posts and several cat toys, in addition to the usual assortment of office furniture and supplies.

The ASPCA put Joy up for adoption in May, but since she’s been living in the office, rather than at the adoption center, there haven’t been any takers so far.

“She’s still a little bit skittish, but she’s really, really sweet,” Oldham said. “She’s

super playful.”

The ASPCA’s shelter for animals displaced by Sandy was funded with a $500,000 grant from television personality Rachael Ray. In addition to strays, it housed a number of animals whose owners had been made homeless by the storm, and hadn’t immediately found a place to stay that would accept pets.

The ASPCA’s shelter was one of a number set up around the region to take in animals displaced by the storm. More than 200 pets were given shelter at a community college gymnasium on Long Island, set up by the North Shore Animal League America.

The Humane Society rescued pets stranded on New Jersey’s barrier islands.

Premier Health announces leadership staff changes DAYTON — Premier Health announced today several changes in executive leadership that will take place at the beginning of 2014.

As was announced in September, Bobbie Gerhart, president and CEO of Miami Valley Hospital, let the health system know of her plan to retire at the end of the year, allowing for a smooth transition of leadership. She positively impacted the health system and the entire community with more than 35 years of outstanding and meaningful service.

Mark Shaker, currently senior vice president of Service Integration for Premier, will become the president and CEO of Miami Valley Hospital.

Shaker has been with the health system for 28 years, holding pro-

gressively increased areas of responsibility including his current position, and previous roles including president and CEO of Good Samaritan Hospital, vice president of Strategic Improvement at Miami Valley Hospital and president and CEO of Fidelity Health Care.

He holds a bachelor of science degree in business administration from The Ohio State University and a Master of Health Administration from Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis.

“Mark has been a successful leader with our organization for many years and has a great ability to bring people together in times of change to collaboratively find the best path for the future,” said Jim

Pancoast, president and CEO. “He will be leading one of the largest hospitals in the country, bringing a wide array of experience and a demonstrated commitment to working closely with physicians and staff to achieve our Mission to build healthier communities.”

Tom Parker, currently president and CEO of Upper Valley Medical Center will become system vice president, Service Lines.

He began at Upper Valley Medical Center as the administrator of Behavioral Health Services in 1992. Since that time he has also held the position of executive vice president and chief operating officer and senior vice president for operations for Upper Valley.

Parker serves as a

member of the senior leadership team for Premier Health. He has a bachelor of science degree in criminal justice from Baldwin Wallace College and a master of science in business and industrial counseling from Wright State University.

“Tom will bring his experience as the leader of a medical center with acute care and long term care services and a physician employment company to his new role in service integration,” said Mary Boosalis, executive vice president and chief operating officer of Premier Health.

“Tom combines being an insightful thought leader with a history of achieving goals with successful outcomes.”

Becky Rice, currently vice president of Operations at Upper

Valley Medical Center will become president and CEO. Rice has served in leadership roles at both Piqua Memorial Hospital and Dettmer Hospital, prior to the consolidation to Upper Valley Medical Center.

Since that time and in addition to her current role, she has served as administrator of Outpatient Services and director of Operations and Continuous Quality Improvement.

She holds a bachelor of science degree in nedical dietetics from the University of Cincinnati and a master of arts degree in organizational training and development from Wright State University.

“Becky has been an integral part of Upper Valley Medical Center leadership and the

Miami County community for many years,” said Dr. Reece Nickol, chair of the Upper Valley Medical Center Board of Directors. “Her passion for the care of patients, their families,and the community as a whole, is complemented by her ability to work so well with physicians and staff.”

“The Premier Board of Trustees recognizes the depth of leadership talent throughout the health system, providing us with strong and dedicated people to take on these vital roles in the organization,” said Dan Sadlier, chair of the Premier Health Board of Trustees. “We wish Bobbie well in her retirement and are delighted to have Mark, Tom and Becky step into their new roles to take us well into the future.”

Workers lose pounds, save money FERNDALE, Mich. (AP) — Ounce by ounce, 30 Ferndale city workers began to change their lives one year ago.

Today, they are 1,052½ pounds lighter, and they’re saving the city big bucks — an estimated $131,000 this year alone — in health care costs, according to the Detroit Free Press.

City Clerk Cherilynn Brown dropped 17 pounds, and no longer has knee pain that kept her from doing the things she loves. Now that she’s at her goal weight, she was able to go biking pain-free with her son on a recent vacation.

Ferndale Police Detective John Thul lost almost 60 pounds, and doesn’t worry that he’s going to have a stroke or aneurysm because of unmanageably high blood pressure.

“I work out about an hour and a half every day. I am actually stronger now and fitter now than when I went to the police academy,” he says.

Cecile Thompson, an accountant for the city, shed 99 pounds — going from a size 20 to a size 12. She doesn’t have to shop in plus-size stores anymore to find clothes that fit.

Although she looks like a different person compared with photos from a year ago, it’s arguably Cecile’s husband, Bob Thompson, who is most transformed.

At 279 pounds, he was on oxygen and was recovering from two prior heart attacks and a stroke when he signed up for the city-sponsored Weight Watchers at Work program in September 2012.

Now, he’s 34 pounds lighter and no longer needs an oxygen tank to breathe. He doesn’t need as much blood pressure medication, and is hopeful he can drop his cholesterol medicine in the near future.

“I was ready to give up; I was,” says Bob Thompson, 56.

“I thought it was imminent; put me 6 feet under.

“But now I have a whole new outlook on life. … I never thought I’d get my wedding ring back on. It was five years that darn thing sat on my key ring, and I’ve got it on now.

2012, and the $150 cost was reimbursed by the city as long as they attended at least 10 of the 12 meetings in each session.

But after two 12-week sessions, the program was such a hit that the city opted to pay outright for the classes, says Longthorne, who has dropped 32 pounds herself through the program.

The city has spent about $9,000 for its employees to take part in the program in the past year, but the result, says Longthorne, has more than made up for the cost.

Tamica Brooks, the city’s police records coordinator, agrees: “One of the things we found is, while it’s been wonderful for us to lose weight . there’s also less absenteeism. People feel good; they enjoy life more.”

“And there’s a camaraderie that we have now. Individuals that I didn’t even say hi to, we now share recipes, experiences, ask how’s this exercise that you’re doing? We bring in treats that are healthy instead of doughnuts.”

Brooks lost 59 pounds, going from a size 16 to an 8. She’s close to her goal weight.

Wellness efforts range from weight-loss programs to discounts on gym memberships to asking employees to upload data from a pedometer to a computer to track how many steps they take each day.

“There’s a cultural shift going on where people are being asked to take responsibility for their health and take on some of the cost burden. There are issues around ethics that are just beginning to be explored with these programs, and there are protections within the law,” Richardson says.

“There are a number of things we have to think about when we consider these broad, sweeping changes in health care across the country,” she says. “The burden of these chronic conditions associated with obesity, a sedentary lifestyle and a poor diet is really making a big impact on health care costs and morbidity.”

“I’m wearing size 36 pants, no more stretch pants. I’m happy.

I am.”

Jenny Longthorne, the city’s human resources director, hoped that by starting a health initiative for city workers and their dependents, she could shave some costs from rising insurance expenses.

“In union negotiations, we’ve kind of hit a plateau with our medical plan. We’ve made some changes to it and employees are like, ‘OK, how much more can you possibly do?’ And so we agreed that we wouldn’t make changes. But in lieu of that, we still had to see some savings of some kind,” says Longthorne.

“So we thought we might be able to do it in wellness on the back end, and assume some savings. We thought wellness would be a good way to start.”

Increasingly, employers are turning to wellness programs like the City of Ferndale’s to boost the health of their workers, reduce obesity and conditions brought on by a sedentary lifestyle, hoping the efforts will lower the ever-rising cost of their health care premiums, says Dr. Caroline Richardson, a

be living my best life,” she says.

In a city survey of employees who signed up for the program, 88 percent reported that relatives also have made positive changes, losing weight, eating more healthfully and exercising more.

That’s a ripple effect that thrills Florine Mark, president and CEO of Farmington Hillsbased WW Group Inc. “A lot of these people have children,” says Mark. “And childhood obesity, that’s a big problem these days. Hopefully, these parents can change their own eating habits, and start bringing good foods into the house. … If we can get to the adults, I think it’s a way of helping to get to kids.”

In all, 300 workplaces in Michigan now offer at-work Weight Watchers programs, and about 50 to 75 more are about to get started later this month, says Laurie Humphries, a spokeswoman for the WW Group. Of them, about 40% — a growing number — subsidize some or all of the cost of the program for employees.

The reason, Mark said, is that employers have come to realize that once workers “start to lose weight, many people get off their diabetic medication, their high blood pressure medication, so health care costs go down, prescription drug costs go down, absenteeism goes down.

But the most important thing is that people feel better about themselves. And when you feel better about yourself, you do a better job.”

In addition to feeling better and stronger, Thul, the police detective, says he can now plan for a future he didn’t know he had when he was 59 pounds heavier.

“My doctor said I was lucky to be alive,” said Thul. “She said literally, at any time, a blood vessel in your head could explode under this kind of pressure and you’d be dead.

“We’re all going to die, but losing the weight took away the near-term threat. I was thinking, I might not see my grandkids graduate from high school.

I might not see my grandkids go to kindergarten. You know? And now, it’s like, I’m comfortable planning 20, 30 years into the

Vikings win district, Versailles up next

BY JOSH BROWN Sports Editor jbrown@civitasmedia.com TIPP CITY — During the third game of Miami East’s district final volleyball matchup against Badin, the Vikings had to push their own teammates out of the way at times to get to balls hit high up in the air.

Seems the only thing that could slow the Vikings down was themselves.

That’s because Badin provided little more than a speed bump in the road to Miami East’s third

Miami East’s Sam Cash sets the ball for a teammate during the Division III district championship match against Badin Saturday at Tippecanoe High School. The Vikings swept the Rams for their third straight district title.

“That’s as good as we’ve played all year,” Miami East coach John Cash said. “With that lineup in, everything went smooth. We played solid defense, our setters made good decisions and we attacked the ball well.

Host of local runners qualify

BY COLIN FOSTER Staff Writer colinfoster@civitasmedia.com AND ROB KISER Civitas Media rkiser@civitasmedia.com TROY — Sophomore Zac Garver became the first runner from Troy Christian to qualify for the state meet in three years Saturday at the Division III regional meet.

Not bad for his first year of cross country, eh?

“He’s a great runner, a great talent, and a very hard worker,” Troy Christian coach Jeff McDaniel said. “We worked out a lot together, and I know the capabilities he’s got. We’ve been talking about this all year.”

Garver finished fifth overall Saturday in a time of 16:36.82.

“I’m excited that I’m going to state. That’s been my goal since the beginning of the season, and that’s what I’ve been working for,” Garver said. “My dream’s been to make it to state, and I’ve made that dream, so now I’ve just got to keep working hard this next week — and go out there and enjoy state.”

BY COLIN FOSTER Staff Writer colinfoster@civitasmedia.com TROY — Troy boys coach Bob Campbell set a goal for his team to finish with a collective average time of 16:40 at Saturday’s Division I regional cross country meet.

And even though the Trojans had a pair of state qualifiers and were right around that mark, they came up just short of qualifying for the state meet for the first time since 1988.

Troy ran one of its best races of the season and came up a mere 17 points shy of qualifying for state.

The only factor Campbell could think to blame was the sheer competitiveness of the Division I Troy regional.

Poynter wins, Devils sweep regional

Trojans celebrate dramatic victory What a difference a win — particularly one achieved in dramatic fashion — can make.

The Troy football team ended a fourgame losing streak — and picked up its first home win of the season — Friday night, topping Greenville 14-10 when Miles Hibbler scored the go-ahead touchdown with 16 seconds to play. See Page A10.

TROY — District titles last week.

The Tippecanoe Red Devil cross country teams took it a step further Saturday, as both captured Division II regional cross country championships.

For the boys program — which has six regional championships in school history — winning a regional title is nothing new.

But for the girls program, it was something special.

Saturday’s feat marked the first time in Tippecanoe High School history a girls cross country team has ever won a regional crown.

• Boys Sophomore Mitchell Poynter found a little extra motivation in his locker this week from coach Byron Kimmel.

“I went in and put these little pieces of wood in their lockers over the weekend,” Kimmel said.

“His said ‘can’t win the big one’ to motivate him … Well he won the big one today.”

Did he ever.

Oh, what a difference Trojans celebrate dramatic victory over Wave

BY DAVID FONG Executive Editor dfong@civitasmedia.com TROY — What a difference a win — particularly one achieved in dramatic fashion — can make.

The Troy football team ended a four-game losing streak — and picked up its first home win of the season — Friday night, topping Greenville 14-10 when Miles Hibbler scored the go-ahead touchdown with 16 seconds to play.

With that one victory, Troy seemingly wiped away a season’s worth of frustration. Yes, the Trojans are just 3-6, but one couldn’t tell after the game as the Trojans linked arms and sang the school alma mater alongside the Troy High School marching band.

The celebration will be short-lived, however as now the Trojans will faced with a game that will ultimately make a break the season.

This Friday, Troy will host rival Piqua — also 3-6 after a loss to Butler — in the 129th meeting between the two schools. It is the mostplayed rivalry in Ohio high school football history and one of the oldest rivalries in the nation.

There will be plenty of time to talk about that in the coming days, however. First, some final notes from Troy’s 14-10 win over Greenville: • Player of the Game For the better part of three quarters, it looked like Miles Hibbler would be a prime candidate for Goat of the Game. Just when it appeared Troy was poised to take an early lead deep in Greenville territory, Hibbler fumbled at the Green Wave 1-yard line as he was going in for a score. Greenville would eventually take a 7-0 lead and it would stay that way until late in the fourth quarter.

Hibbler provided same late-game heroics, however, scoring a pair of touchdowns late to pull out the victory.

• Unsung Hero of the Game While Hibbler provided the fireworks on offense, Troy defensive end Marco Anverse lowered the boom on defense. Overall, Troy’s defense was exceptional all night — keeping the Trojans in the game as their offense struggled — and Anverse led the charge. The junior finished with, unofficially, a pair of sacks and four tackles for loss for the Trojans.

• Play of the Game After Greenville had gone up 10-7 with 1:24 left to play, Troy began its game-winning drive at its own 35.

After three plays went nowhere, the Trojans faced fourth-and-6 at their own 39.

With the game on the line, Troy quarterback Matt Barr found receiver Alex Magoteaux on a 12-yard strike for a first down that helped keep the drive alive.

Magoteaux initially struggled to hold onto the ball, but was able to pull it in as he fell to the ground. Without that first down, Troy never would have been in position to score the game-winning touchdown with 16 seconds to play.

• What We Learned Finally. After two years of struggling to close out close games late, the breaks final-

ly went the Trojans’ way. It would have been all too easy for the Trojans to fold the tents on the game — and perhaps the season — after Greenville took the lead with less than two minutes to play. The Trojans didn’t quit, however. They fought back and pulled it out when the game was on the line. The Trojans haven’t quit yet this season … theere’s still plenty of fight left in them.

• What Happens Next No league titles. No playoff berths. Just pride. This is what Troy vs. Piqua is all about. The records mean nothing at this point. Line ‘em up, let ‘em play … and may the best team win.

Covington’s A.J. Ouellette broke the school record for rushing yards in a game — the one he set earlier this season — by rushing for 354 yards Friday in the Buccaneers’ big win over National Trail.

Contenders and pretenders

Tipp, Covington both expose 7-1 teams on same night

BY JOSH BROWN Sports Editor jbrown@civitasmedia.com

Tippecanoe and Covington both entered Friday night undefeated.

Both were facing teams with only one loss.

The end results? Shouldn’t have surprised anyone.

The Red Devils and Buccaneers both exposed supposed playoff contenders for the pretenders that they are, with Tippecanoe manhandling Central Buckeye Conference Kenton Trail Division rival Kenton Ridge in the second half en route to a 35-7 victory and Covington cruising from beginning to end in a 42-0 blowout of Cross County Conference foe National Trail.

But you know what?

Maybe calling Kenton Ridge and National Trail “pretenders” is an unfair assessment. Unfair to both those teams — and to Tippecanoe and Covington.

Because maybe the Devils and Buccs really are just that good.

ANTHONY WEBER/TROY DAILY NEWS Tippecanoe (9-0, 4-0 CBC Tippecanoe’s Alex Hall (6) tries to shake off a Kenton Kenton Trail) not only Ridge tackler Friday night in the Red Devils’ 35-7 win. clinched a playoff spot in the

Division III, Region 10 race but also moved up from fifth to fourth — which would give the Red Devils a home game in the first round should they hold onto that spot. And with a Week 10 matchup against 90 Springfield Shawnee — the No. 2 team in D-III, Region 10 — on the immediate horizon, Tippecanoe continuing to move up isn’t out of the question.

First and foremost on the Devils’ minds, though, will be the CBC Kenton Trail Division title, the prize that is up for grabs whenever the Braves come to town Friday.

This Red Devil senior class will be looking to end a threeyear losing streak to Shawnee, and in doing so reap many, many more rewards.

Kenton Ridge still has an outside shot at getting into the playoffs, but with 10thplace Trotwood controlling its own destiny and the Cougars sitting in seventh right now, a rematch against the Devils looks pretty unlikely. The Cougars just became the Butler Aviators’ biggest fans — the Rams’ Week 10 opponent.

Covington (9-0, 8-0 CCC), meanwhile, had already

clinched a Division VII, Region 26 playoff spot last week and put the wraps on a home game with its win at Trail. And A.J. Ouellette broke his own school record for rushing yards in a game, which he set earlier this season, piling up 354 yards and five touchdowns in the game.

The only question left for the Buccs now — and not whether or not they’ll go 10-0, because that’s a given at this point with 2-7 Ansonia left — is who will be coming to Covington in Week 11.

Currently three teams — Cedarville, Portsmouth Notre Dame and Fort Loramie — are the most solid possibilities. The Buccs are No. 2 in Region 26, with unbeaten Triad at No. 1 and unbeaten Marion Local at No. 3.

Lehman is in fourth at 7-1 and has clinched a playoff spot, as well, but as of press time the results of their Week 9 game against WaynesfieldGoshen Saturday night were not available.

Trail, meanwhile, is exactly who we thought they were.

Sure, they’re not the team that only won two games from 2007 to 2011, but they’re not what their 7-1 mark entering

Friday’s game made them look like, either. The Miami East Vikings had their way with them back in Week 2, Covington did on Friday — and now the Blazers are probably looking at a 7-3 finish with Tri-County North left.

Why does any of that matter? Because if the postseason started today, the Vikings (81, 7-1 CCC) would be lined up to host the Blazers in the first round. Miami East clinched a playoff spot with its sound thumping of winless Bradford (0-9, 0-8 CCC) Friday night and is currently second in Division VI, Region 22.

Bethel (3-6, 3-5 CCC) had been on the verge the past two weeks against both Trail and Twin Valley South, but they finally got over the hump Friday against Ansonia with a 35-16 victory. Troy Christian (3-4), meanwhile, had one bad quarter and dipped below the .500 mark in a 41-21 loss to the Columbus Crusaders. The Eagles will be shooting for a 4-4 finish in their first year back on the gridiron against Waynesfield Goshen, while the Milton-Union Bulldogs (18) fell 31-7 to 7-2 Waynesville and will finish up against Northridge in Week 10.

Devils

ANTHONY WEBER/TROY DAILY NEWS

Troy’s Troy Schultz runs with a pack of competitors Saturday during the Division I regional meet.

Trojans ■ CONTINUED FROM A9 bit short,” Campbell said.

“We knew going in that if our top five could be right around a 16:40 average, that was probably going to get us out. Beavercreek (fourth place) was right at 16:43, and we were right there with them.

That’s what it usually takes. The last 11 out of 12 years, now I guess it would be the last 12 out of 13 years, a 16:36 team average made it out in our regional. The points just didn’t work out in our favor.

“But having two individuals make it out (Stephen Jones and Branden Nosker) was great. The guys had a great year. They have nothing to hang their heads about. We’re just in the wrong regional.”

Troy had a average team time of 16:43.87 — which ranked fifth at the meet — and finished seventh overall with 192 points.

Beavercreek locked up the fourth and final qualifying spot with 175, Elder was fifth (179) and Kings took sixth (188).

The top three spots went to St. Xavier (38 points), Mason (61) and Centerville (110).

Jones, a sophomore, and Nosker, a senior, finished in 12th and 13th to qualify for next week’s state meet in Hebron.

Jones came in with a time of 16:01.44 and Nosker ended up with a time of 16:03.59. They became the first Trojans’ duo to reach state since 1962 without a team qualification.

“It feels great (to make state), because I was injured last year at district and had to hobble through this race on one foot,” Jones said.

“It was a rough race with a lot of competition,” said Nosker, who is now a two-time state qualifier.

“Usually the top 10 guys in our region are top 25 at state, so I think both of our goals right there will be top 25 next week. We can do it if we push.”

Blake Guillozet (54th, 16:58.07) was Troy’s third

runner in, followed by Troy Schultz (59th, 17:03.45) and Josh Spayde (83rd, 17:32.45).

Bryce Meier (121st, 19:23.49) and Alex Meier (123rd, 19:58.00) rounded out the Troy finishers.

The Division I boys race will start at 3 p.m. next Saturday at National Trail Raceway in Hebron.

• Davidson Takes 59th Troy sophomore Rachel Davidson placed 59th (19:50.98) in the Division I girls race, which, given the level of competition in the race, is where Troy girls coach Kevin Alexander figured she’d end up.

However, Davidson actually overcame Alexander’s expecatations — and she ran her best time of the season in the process.

“I was looking at where she would stand, and I was thinking she would finish 60th and she finished 59th — you can’t come much closer than that,” Troy girls coach Kevin Alexander said.

“She ran a seasonal best on what is typically not the fastest course, but you have the fastest competition in the state right here. She went out with them, she went out at about 6:02 or 6:05 first mile, which is pretty fast for her — and she still managed to go from there and move up.

“She was 75th at the mile, and for her to move up with competition like this — because there are no slouches here — was very impressive. I was very proud of how she raced today and how she competed with the best girls in the state.”

St. Ursula junior Annie Heffernan won the race with a time of 17:52.77. The Greater Western Ohio Conference will send two representative’s to the state meet in Centerville — which won the meet with 91 points — and Beavercreek (fourth, 116 points).

Ursuline Academy (102) was second overall and Mason was third (112).

■ CONTINUED FROM A9 Poynter surged ahead of the lead pack at the two-mile mark and never looked back — capturing the Division II regional title in a time of 16:13.16.

This victory came after he placed second at the Central Buckeye Conference meet and second at last week’s Division II district.

“Coming in here, I knew there was going to be a huge lead pack with a ton of guys,” Poynter said. “I just wanted to stick with them. I surged at the end, and it felt good.”

“Mitchell’s performance was absolutely incredible,” Kimmel said.

And the supporting cast backed him up.

Senior Jay Schairbaum placed 17th (16:42.75), junior Daniel Frame finished 19th (16:49.80), sophomore Tim Andrews placed 32nd (17:17.21) and junior Evan Wharton took 38th (17:22.39) as the Red Devils held off Springfield Shawnee for the third consecutive week.

Tipp finished with 88 points compared to Shawnee’s 98. The Red Devils got the better of Braves at the CBC meet, the district meet and once again at regional.

Others Tipp finishers included Jacob Stillwagon (59th, 17:39.67) and Jared Rindler (74th, 17:57.06).

The Red Devils averaged a team time of 16:53.07.

Carroll (110 points) and Wyoming (122) rounded out the state qualifiers.

• Girls Following the Division II district meet, Tippecanoe coach Byron Kimmel said this was the best girls team he has ever coached.

They backed that statement up Saturday — becoming the first team in school history to win a regional title.

The Red Devils (67 points) finished with a combined team time of 19:37.29 and held off Oakwood (80) and Granville (87) for first place. Alter was the final state qualifier with 100 points.

“Our pack is just tough,” Kimmel said. “When you put all five girls in the top 30 at the regional meet,

Our girls were locked in.

They pulled through.”

As usual, it was Allison Sinning — the only senior on the team — leading the charge for the Devils, finishing runner-up in a time of 18:18.41. Oakwood’s defending state champion Mary Kate Vaughn won the individual title (18:01.95).

“Allison ran a tremendous race,” Kimmel said. “A big goal of hers is to break 18 (minutes). She was 18:19, and when you can run that fast on this course on this day, it sets her up good for next week in Hebron.”

“This was an emotional

day, that's for sure,” Sinning said. “Today was not about me. I wanted to run at state — but I wanted my team running there with me.

They are like family.”

As for her race, Sinning could look back and feel good.

“I love running against her (Mary Kate Vaughn).

We push each other — well, I am sure she pushes me more than I push her,” Sinning said with a laugh.

“It was a PR, but today was about the team. It feels great to have the whole team going to state.”

Tipp had two other girls break the 20-minute mark in junior Hailey Brumfield

(18th, 19:42.76) and freshman Abbi Halsey (23rd, 19:57.78). Emily Wolfe finished 25th in a time of 20:02.86, Brinna Price placed 28th (20:04.64), Kelly Rhoades placed 61st (21:11.57) and Katherine Wilcher took 78th (21:39.82).

The Division II girls state race is slated for an 11:45 a.m. start time next week at National Trail Raceway in Hebron, while the D-II boys race begins at 2:15 p.m.

“It rarely happens when both teams go to state like this,” Poynter said. “I think it will actually help the performance of both teams.”

“The same for me,” she said. “My goal was to get to state.

Jenna (Zimmerman) helps me so much. I don’t think I would be here without her.”

Joe Fuller is a quite guy who prefers to let his running do the talking for him.

And it speaks volumes.

Fuller cruised to his third straight trip to the state meet as the Lehman senior finished third in 16:27.99 in the boys D-III race.

“It felt good,” Fuller said. “I was happy with my race. It was about what I expected.”

And the cool weather didn’t bother him.

“Actually, I like running in the cold,” Fuller said. “My goal next week is to definitely be in the top 10.”

• Newton Newton’s Brady McBride finished just short of a state berth.

The sophomore, who placed high at district last week, had his season come to an end with a 29th-place result Saturday. He finished the course in a time of 17:34.88.

Red Devils fall to Bellbrook in district final Staff Reports BEAVERCREEK — The district final has been Tippecanoe’s stumbling block of late.

This season proved to be the same, as the Red Devils couldn’t get anything going on offense and made a couple of small but costly mistakes on defense in a 3-0 loss to the Bellbrook Golden

Eagles in the Division II boys district boys soccer title game Saturday at Beavercreek High School.

“We won district in 2008, and we’ve been there ever since,” Tippecanoe coach Scott Downing said. “It’s kind of been our achilles heel.”

Tippecanoe’s other weakness throughout the season has been finishing off its scoring chances,

but against Bellbrook — a team it tied 1-1 back on Oct. 5 at Bellbrook — the Red Devils couldn’t even find a way to create chances.

“We struggled to score tonight,” Downing said.

“We didn’t create a lot of opportunities. Everybody played hard and everybody worked hard tonight, but we just couldn’t put anything

together on offense.”

And on defense, the Golden Eagles were able to cash in on a corner kick and a throw-in by sneaking a player free from his mark to put Tippecanoe down 2-0, and Bellbrook added a third goal late.

“We made a couple of mistakes that cost us,” Downing said. “And they were just marking issues

Miami East’s Allison Morrett tips over a kill Saturday against Badin.

Miami East’s Angie Mack puts down a kill Saturday.

JOSH BROWN/TROY DAILY NEWS

Miami East’s Trina Current (5) blocks a Badin shot for a point Saturday in the Division III district final.

Mack had five kills, seven digs and three aces. Trina Current added two kills and two blocks, Anna Kiesewetter had a kill and 13 digs and Karson Mahaney had a kill.

All leading up to Wednesday’s enormous regional semifinal matchup against Versailles. Miami East — which has won back-toback state championships — finished the season No. 13 in the final D-III state poll, while Versailles was

No. 3.

“They’re all big at this point. It’s just another one,” Cash said. “We’ve got Versailles, Fenwick and Sparta Highland, the No. 1 team in the state, in our regional.

“Versailles has everything you could want in a volleyball team — size, quickness, athleticism, they run a good tempo offense and have veteran players. We expect nothing but their best.”

Of course, Miami East

was heavily favored each of the past two seasons, going into the tournament as the No. 1 team in the state poll each time. And they never had to face Versailles along the way either time, because the Tigers had already been upset before they got to the district level.

“A lot of people thought we had it ‘in the bag’ when we won those two state titles,” Cash said.

“But I was there. I remember having to work for it every time out. We’ll have to bring our ‘A’ game Wednesday.”

Because there are no speed bumps left.

Kenseth chasing Johnson, history

MARTINSVILLE, Va. (AP) — Matt Kenseth will be right behind Jimmie Johnson when the green flag drops at Martinsville Speedway on Sunday.

Johnson, the only man in front of him in the Sprint Cup championship points race, is starting second and Kenseth fourth.

Kenseth would love to be that close at the finish,

forgot to do some of the simple things.”

Tippecanoe finished the season 14-4-2. Until Saturday, the Devils hadn’t lost in seven in a row and came in on a fourgame winning streak.

“We had 11 seniors this year, and they were pretty upset,” Downing said. “I just think Bellbrook was the better team tonight.”

Cavs keep 21-year district streak alive

Vikings ■ CONTINUED FROM A9 “And Badin’s a better team than the score indicates, too. We just took everything away from them that they wanted to do. The girls did a great job of executing the scouting report.”

It was clear after Sam Cash was done serving in Game 1 exactly how the match would go — because once Badin finally scored a point, the Vikings already had a 9-0 lead.

And that didn’t change in Game 2, either, as Cash served the Vikings to a 40 lead, then Angie Mack ran off five in a row to make it a 10-2 game.

Badin never got closer than seven from there.

“We knew they were a scrappy team that gets to balls and keeps them alive,” Cash said. “So we thought if we could serve them out of system, we could get a lot of free balls or eve some aces. And we served really, really well today.

“We did a good job of being aggressive and hitting zones. For the first time in a long time, we didn’t miss a single zone today. The only times we missed zones was when we missed serves altogether.”

The Rams (12-14) actually kept the Vikings from starting Game 3 on a big run, tying the score at 1-1 — which actually was the closest they got in any game on the day. But Miami East retook the serve to grab a 2-1 lead and Mack served another five in a row to make it 71. Then with the score 9-3, Ashley Current ran off 10 consecutive points — including two aces, three kills by Cash and two kills

by Allison Morrett — and the Vikings held a commanding 19-3 lead.

Badin called its final timeout with East leading 24-6 and won the following point, but Mack scored on a tip kill to put a merciful end the match.

Ashley Current finished with nine kills, 11 assists, five digs and two aces, Cash had eight kills, 14 assists, seven digs and three aces, Morrett had six kills and five digs and

that they happened to score on, one on a corner and one on a long throwin into the center of the box. We just lost our man, and they were able to score.

“We’ve been talking about capitalizing on their mistakes and limiting ours. But tonight we may have gotten lost in being in a district championship game, and we

too. Johnson has found success at the tricky 0.526mile track shaped like a paper clip, while Kenseth has been frustrated here throughout his career.

Johnson, whose lead is four points, has eight wins at Martinsville in 23 starts.

Kenseth? No wins in 27 starts, and his best finish — second — came back in

2002.

But if there’s hope for the 2003 series champion, it came in the spring when Kenseth passed Johnson for the lead at one point and led for 96 laps, more than the rest of his career here combined.

He wound up 14th while Johnson won, but the early burst gave Kenseth a reason for opti-

mism.

“This spring, at least the first half of the race, we were really good and really competitive and (it) really, really helped me be better because we had the car good,” he said. “I don’t know. Some tracks feel natural to you and comes real easy, fits your style and other ones are just a lot more work.

TROY — Lehman volleyball senior Ellie Cain admitted the thought of playing on “that team” went through her mind for just a second.

That would be first Lehman volleyball team in 21 years to not win a district title.

And when the Cavaliers dropped the first two sets to Catholic Central in the Division IV Troy district final Saturday night, it was more than just a passing thought to fellow senior Erica Paulus.

“I thought about it a lot, and it was not sitting well with me,” Paulus said. “I was not going to be on ‘that team.’ The one that ended the 21-year streak.”

As is turned out, a monumental comeback by Lehman against an Irish team that had dropped only one match all year kept the streak intact.

Lehman (18-8) rallied for a 19-25, 16-25, 25-15, 25-16, 15-10 win and will play Fort Loramie in a Tippecanoe regional semifinal at approximately 7:30 p.m. Thursday night.

Lehman coach Greg Snipes laughed when told about Paulus’ comments.

“She probably never would have heard the end of it from her sisters if we had lost,” Snipes said.

Before the third game, Cain rallied her teammates.

“I remember thinking I wasn’t going to have practice Monday and that seemed weird,” the setter said. “I just talked about everyone about stepping up and playing better.”

Which was Paulus’ focus as well.

“I just knew it was going to take everybody’s best effort if we were going to pull it out,” she said. “I thought we started hitting the ball better — and we played much better defense.”

Cain had a big block to start the third game and junior middle Olivia Slagle took her play to another level as the Cavaliers never trailed in the third game and only 1-0 in the fourth and fifth games.

“We thought Olivia (Slagle) could have a big match,” Snipes said. “I think our passing kind of dictated what we could do the first two games. Ellie and Olivia did a great job connecting after that.”

An ace by Ellie Sargent and kill by Sidney Chapman gave

Lehman a 12-4 lead in the third game and the Cavaliers cruised from there.

It was 8-7 in the fourth game when Chapman had a kill and served five straight points that included a block and a kill

by Slagle to make it 13-7.

The Irish could never cut into the lead, setting up a race to 15 in the fifth set for the district title.

“One of the differences is Catholic Central had five runs in the first two games of three points or more,” Snipes said. “That is very uncharacteristic of our team to give up runs like that. We didn’t do that the last three games.”

Cain got the Cavaliers off to a fast start in the decider.

After a Slagle blocked tied it 1-1, she served five straight points, including a kill and tip by Slagle and a Paulus kill.

Just as quickly, the Irish went on a 6-1 run to even it 7-7.

“I was thinking we just needed a hideout,” Paulus said. “We had come to far to lose.”

Paulus provided that spark with a kill and service winner to make it 9-7.

Two kills by Chapman increased the lead and at 12-10, Catholic Central had three straight hitting errors to finish off the comeback.

“I think everyone just started playing better,” Snipes said. “It says a lot about this team.”

Slagle had a big night with 13 kills and eight blocks, while Cain dished out 45 assists. Chambers had 11 kills, while Paulus had 13 kills and 10 digs.

Michelle Durtisch had nine kills and sparked the Cavaliers early.

“Michelle (Durtisch) had a great match,” Snipes said. “We weren’t getting anything from the outsides early and she stepped up and kept us in the match.”

Ava Schmitz added eight digs for the defense.

Lehman was within 17-16 in the first game and even at 11 in the second game, before the Irish came up big down the stretch.

“We got off to a really slow start,” Snipes said.

“And Catholic Central is a good team.”

But Lehman wasn’t about to settle for the runner-up hardware “I don’t know how to explain it,” Cain said. “It was kind of a refuse to lose thing.”

And the motivation of not playing for “that team.”

No. 1 Alabama hammers Tennessee, 45-10

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) — T.J. Yeldon scored on three 1-yard runs and AJ McCarron passed for 275 yards and two touchdowns to help No. 1 Alabama continue to roll with a 45-10 win over Tennessee.

Landon Collins returned an interception 89 yards for another score for the Crimson Tide (8-0, 5-0 Southeastern Conference), which raced to a 35-0 halftime lead.

Alabama has outscored its last six opponents 24626.

The Volunteers (4-4, 13) dropped their seventh straight in the rivalry game, tying the most consecutive wins for either

team. Coach Butch Jones turned to freshman quarterback Josh Dobbs in the second half in his first college action, replacing Justin Worley.

Worley was 8-of-15 passing for 120 yards and was intercepted twice.

McCarron completed 19 of 27 passes.

No. 3 Fla. St. 49, N.C. State 17 TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Jameis Winston threw for 292 yards and three touchdowns and Florida State scored 35 points in the first quarter.

Winston completed 16of-26 passes with one interception and left the game after the opening series of the second half.

Rashad Greene topped 100 yards receiving for the third consecutive game with eight receptions for 137 yards and a touchdown for the Seminoles (7-0, 5-0).

The Wolfpack upset the Seminoles in Raleigh, N.C., last season, but this year it was no contest as Florida State put on a show for its old coach.

Hall of Famer Bobby Bowden was honored at Doak Campbell Stadium.

No. 7 Miami 24, Wake Forest 21 MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. — Duke Johnson ran for two fourth-quarter touchdowns, the second a 1-yard plunge with 53 seconds left, as No. 7

Miami rallied twice to beat Wake Forest.

No. 9 Clemson 40, Maryland 27 COLLEGE PARK, Md. — Tajh Boyd threw for a touchdown and ran for a score, Sammy Watkins had a school-record 14 catches for 163 yards and Clemson wore down injury-riddled Maryland.

No. 14 Texas A&M 56, Vanderbilt 24 COLLEGE STATION, Texas — Johnny Manziel threw for 305 yards and four touchdowns in less than three quarters, and Texas A&M bounced back from a loss last week.

Duke 13, No. 16 Va. Tech 10 BLACKSBURG, Va.

(AP) — Anthony Boone ran for a touchdown, Ross Martin kicked two long field goals and Duke ended a long history of losing to ranked teams.

No. 18 Louisville 34, USF 3 TAMPA, Fla. — Teddy Bridgewater threw for 344 yards and three touchdowns and Louisville rebounded from its first loss of the season.

No. 19 Okl. St. 58, Iowa State 27 AMES, Iowa — Desmond Roland ran for a career-high 219 yards and four touchdowns and Oklahoma State won its third straight.

No. 21 UCF 62, UConn 17

ORLANDO, Fla. — Blake Bortles threw for four touchdowns and ran for another as No. 21 UCF routed winless Connecticut.

No. 23 N. Ill. 59, E. Michigan 20 DE KALB, Ill. — Jordan Lynch threw four touchdown passes and caught another as Northern Illinois reached its best start as a major college football program.

Minnesota 34, No. 25 Nebraska 23 MINNEAPOLIS — Philip Nelson rushed for two touchdowns and passed for another, guiding Minnesota to its first win against the Cornhuskers since 1960.

Haunted Halloween

Tips for parents, homeowners Melody Vallieu

Staff Writer mvallieu@civitasmedia.com

Halloween is just around the corner, and the night for ghosts and goblins to be out on the prowl — while fun — also needs to be safe.

Trick-or-treat — also known as beggar’s night — will be held around the county from 6-8 p.m.

Thursday this year, Halloween night.

Of the utmost importance — besides getting the ultimate bag of candy — is the safety of everyone during the evening.

Troy Police Department Captain Joe Long said parents should make sure their children’s costumes are safe. He said they should be flame-retardant, bright in color and have reflective tape.

“Parents need to make sure, first and foremost that their children are safe during trick-ortreat,” Long said. “That is above and beyond the most important part of the night.”

Long said he wants all children to have fun for Halloween, and recommends parents accompany

their children and to only visit well-lit neighborhoods. Those who will be unaccompanied should not go out alone, but with a group of friends, according to Long.

Long said children also should not eat candy prior to returning to their home, so that parents can go through the candy and look for any dangers that could cause children harm.

“Only allow children to keep candy that is unopened, and in its original wrappers,” Long said.

“And, don’t forget to inspect fruit or homemade items for anything suspicious.”

The following are more tips that will hopefully prepare parents for making trick-0r-treat night fun for everyone, provided by whattodowiththekids.com. n Encourage the kids to use facial make up instead of a mask. n Spend the extra dollar and purchase quality make-up. You don’t want your kid to have that same look weeks later. n If possible, design the costume to accommodate a sweater or even a jacket underneath depending on the weather. n Make sure that all costumes and accessories are flame resistant. n Keep in mind how much walking they’ll be doing for their age. You don’t want to have to

carry your little ghoul home. n Carry extra bags to dump candy in so the kids don’t get overly tired. n If you have more than one kid to supervise, try bringing a wagon or cart to unload the candy in as they go door to door. n If you’re taking other kids with you, set out the rules before you leave and make sure they understand. n Instruct the kids to stay with you and off the lawns and out of the gardens. n Remind the kids to say thank you, even if they get crappy candy. n Be prepared to carry their props after a while. n Inspect all candy when you get home. Throw away homemade, unwrapped or open candy. n Let them have one piece of wrapped candy while on the walk as a treat/break. n Bring a flashlight and give them glow sticks to wear. n Don’t let them walk in the middle of the streets. Cars will still travel on roads October 31. n If the front light is out but they have Halloween decorations, there is a good chance that they have no more candy. n If the lights are out and there aren’t any decorations, the people are most likely hiding in the back

and have no candy to give. n Carry a small, portable first aid kit for those little cuts and injuries. n Many people bring their dogs with them and dress them up in costumes such as a hot dog or a devil. Instruct the kids to ask the owner if they can pet the animal before they do. There is a good chance that the animal is embarrassed to be in a costume and may want to take it out on a kid. n When the kids go to the door, stay close by and watch carefully. n Set a strict curfew for older kids that go out on their own. n Kids are never to go into the house unless you know them. n If you have to drive, slow down more than usual. n Give the kids a snack before they go out. They won’t complain about being hungry and want to eat the candy. n Take half the candy and place it in the freezer for use in the summer.

Here are a few tips for homeowners on Halloween: 1. Keep the path to your door clear of all obstacles and well lit.

2. Don’t terrorize the kids. It’s all about fun and not making them wet their pants.

3. Be extremely careful with the candle in your pumpkin so that nothing bursts into flames, including a kid’s costume.

Consider using a battery powered light or glow sticks.

4. Use flashlights, glow sticks or electric lights with the power cord safe and secured.

5. If you have a dog, keep it in another room and away from the door.

6. If you’re going to give candy, give only store bought and wrapped items such as chocolate bars, chips, etc. Loose candy will be thrown out by the parents.

7. Alternative giving can include pencils, erasers or stickers with a Halloween theme.

8. If you’ve spent a lot of time on your Halloween display, you may want to consider putting some sort of SAFE fencing around it so that everyone can enjoy it without it being trampled.

9. Halloween candy is magically calorie and fat free on October 31, so feel free to use the “one for you, one for me” rule.

Still, rapid a hunched and hasty retreat weather change and snow

were neither unnatural for this time of year. In fact, over the years, I’ve regularly photographed trees clad with autumn-hued leaves wearing mantles of white.

We forget that autumn has two faces. A temperate, if slightly cooler extension of summer, and a frigid, sometimes snowy preview of winter. Some years the summeryautumn face endures for all of October and occasionally through most of November.

Often, however, the wintry foretaste arrives with the jacko-lanterns, during the season’s first half.

A couple years back, on a late-October evening, I attended a sort of pre-Halloween potluck. The day itself had been near perfect—bright, warm, with vees of geese honking their way across azure skies and everywhere the landscape decked out in autumn’s dazzling finery. I’d spent most of my time raking leaves, doing yard chores, and making regular taste checks of a big pot of chili simmering on the stove — my contribution to our evening’s outdoor meal.

Sunset came, twilight followed, and as darkness fell,

so did the temperature — dropping like a rock. Just before mealtime heavy winds whistled in, tearing off leaves by the bucketful.

An elder uncle used to swear a little suffering from time to time was “good for a feller,” because it gave him a dose of “human perspective.”

For years I wasn’t quite sure what he meant. Now, I believe I’ve figured it out — and if I have, then I’ll charitably call our evening’s gathering a memorable success.

No one wussed out and canceled, but simply finished their baking, roasting, barbecuing and cooking. The weather was countered by donning an extra sweater or shirt under our coats. Gloves, scarves, and wool hats were dug from drawers and closets.

Some party members additionally wrapped themselves in stadium blankets. Only those folks with genuine foresight wore heavy parkas and snowmobile suits … which the rest of us soon came to regard with shivering envy.

Our host built a bonfire big enough to roast an ox. Logs up to 6 feet long and a foot in diameter. A couple cords burning per hour, minimum.

We sat at tables and benches arranged as close to the blazing pyre as possible. The food was excellent and abundant.

But a moving feast, since the nearby inferno necessitated constant turning and switching this way and that, often seat-to-seat, which was the only practical way to keep from roasting our flesh on one side while it froze on the opposite.

Curious onlookers doubtless thought we were playing some tuneless version of musical chairs.

After three hours of this delightful merriment we cut the party short and disbanded.

And yes, holding forth so long merely proves our group’s stubborn propensity for foolhardiness when faced with deciding between heeding common sense and pigging out at a homemade banquet.

Yet I’d also like to think the ordeal reveals an encouraging, if latent, depth among us for impromptu survivalism. A good thing, since we have a similar outdoor soirée planned for this weekend.

And after checking the latest weather reports, I don’t think we’d better count on October turning balmy …

JFK image shines on, despite contradictions Hillel Italie Associated Press

BOSTON (AP) — Four days a week, David O’Donnell leads a 90-minute “Kennedy Tour” around Boston that features stops at government buildings, museums, hotels and meeting halls.

Tour-goers from throughout the United States and abroad, who may see John F. Kennedy as inspiration, martyr or Cold War hero, hear stories of his ancestors and early campaigns, the rise of the Irish in state politics, the odd fact that Kennedy was the only president outlived by his grandmother.

Yet at some point along the tour, inevitably, questions from the crowd shift from politics to gossip.

“Someone will ask, ‘Did Jack Kennedy have an affair with Marilyn Monroe?’ With this woman? That woman?” explains O’Donnell, who has worked for a decade in the city’s visitors bureau.

Those asking forgive the infidelities as reflecting another era, he says. “It’s something people, in an odd way, just accept.”

The Kennedy image, the “mystique” that attracts tourists and historians alike, did not begin with his presidency and is in no danger of ending 50 years after his death. Its journey has been uneven, but resilient — a young and still-evolving politician whose name was sanctified by his assassination, upended by discoveries of womanizing, hidden health problems and political intrigue, and forgiven in numerous polls that place JFK among the most beloved of former presidents.

The last half century has demonstrated the transcendence of Kennedy’s appeal. It’s as if we needed to learn the worst before returning to the qualities that defined

Kennedy at his best — the smile and the wavy hair, the energy and the confidence, the rhetoric and the promise.

“He had a gift for rallying the country to its best, most humane and idealistic impulses,” says Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Robert Caro, who cites such Kennedy achievements as the Peace Corps, the nuclear test ban treaty and the peaceful resolution of the Cuban Missile Crisis.

“He’s become more and more of an iconic figure as the years have passed,” says presidential biographer Robert Dallek, whose “Camelot’s Court” is one of many Kennedy books out this fall.

“I think it’s partly, of course, because of the assassination. But that doesn’t really account for why he has this phenomenal hold on the public.” President William McKinley, he noted, was assassinated in 1901, “but 50 years after his death hardly anyone remembered who he was.”

Boston is the official home for Kennedy memories, starting at the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum, and echoing at landmarks throughout the area — the small, shingled house in Brookline where he was born and the Kennedy park in Cambridge that extends along the Harvard Kennedy School of Government, the statue on the grounds of the Massachusetts State House and the corner table at the nearby Omni Parker House Hotel where Kennedy proposed to Jacqueline Bouvier.

But thousands of Kennedy buildings, busts and plaques can be found around the country, from the grandeur of Washington’s Kennedy Center to the scale of New York City’s JFK Airport to the oddity of a Kennedy golf course in Aurora, Colo. (He pub-

licly avoided predecessor Dwight Eisenhower’s beloved leisure sport, but actually played it well).

“He stands out among all the modern presidents,” says historian Larry J. Sabato, whose book, “The Kennedy Half Century,” has just been published. “Franklin Roosevelt was more consequential, and Harry Truman may have been, too. But Kennedy overshadows them all. He’s the one president from the post-World War II era who could appear on the streets now and fit right in.”

Kennedy, born in 1917, was the second son, and one of nine children, of immigrant-turned-tycoon Joseph P. Kennedy. No

self-made man put greater pressure on his children than did the elder Kennedy. When first son Joseph Jr. was killed during World War II, Jack became the designated heir. Himself a Navy veteran and survivor of a collision with a Japanese destroyer, he would write to his friend Paul Fay that once the war was over, “I’ll be back here with Dad trying to parlay a lost PT boat and a bad back into a political advantage.”

Kennedy was elected to Congress in 1946, at age 29, was a senator by age 35 and was soon being mentioned as a candidate for national office.

“From the time Jack first ran for Congress, his father had taught him everything from wearing a suit and the best way to cut his hair, how to appear youthful and wise and serious at the same time,” says David Nasaw, whose biography of Joseph P. Kennedy came out last year. Still, Nasaw described JFK’s relationship with his father as a “partnership,” in which he didn’t hesitate to differ from the elder Kennedy.

JFK was a public figure years before he ran for office. “Why England Slept,” released in 1940, was a book-length edition of a thesis he wrote at Harvard about the British in the years before World

War II. An introduction was provided by one of the country’s foremost image makers, Time magazine publisher Henry R. Luce. “You would be surprised how a book that really makes the grade with high-class people stands you in good stead for years to come,” Joseph Kennedy had advised his sons.

The JFK narrative was well in place for his presidential run in 1960: A handsome, witty and athletic World War II hero and family man who vowed to revitalize the country, which for eight years had been presided over by the grandfatherly Eisenhower.

The multimedia story began in childhood with newsreels and newspaper coverage of the smiling Kennedy brood, and it continued with books, photographs, movies and finally television — notably the telegenic JFK’s presidential debates with Republican Richard Nixon.

Questions about the Kennedy image were also in place.

His Pulitzer Prizewinning tribute to political risk and bipartisan statesmanship, “Profiles in Courage,” was shadowed by reports that he didn’t write it, and the book’s authorship remains a subject of debate. Lyndon Johnson, eventually his vice president, spread rumors (later confirmed) that Kennedy suffered from a glandular disorder, Addison’s disease. An authorized campaign biography by James MacGregor Burns angered the family when the historian questioned whether JFK was independent of his father and of the memory of his older brother.

“I think you underestimate him,” Jacqueline Kennedy wrote to Burns.

“Jack is a strong and self-sufficient person. If we could just lay to rest those bromides about Dad and Brother Joe. Let me assure you that no matter how many older brothers and fathers my husband had had, he would have been what he is today, or the equivalent in another field.”

One of the last presidents to live during an age when private vices were kept private, he was at ease around such photographers as Jacques Lowe and around the crew of documentary maker Robert Drew, whose Kennedy projects included the landmark of cinema verite “Primary” and the film “Crisis,” about the 1963 standoff

against Alabama’s segregationist governor, George Wallace. Awardwinning filmmaker D.A. Pennebaker, who assisted Drew on the Kennedy documentaries, remembered spending hours in the Oval Office and once being offered a ride in the presidential car.

“I got in the front seat, and filmed into the back seat,” Pennebaker said.

“He was going over something that had happened at the United Nations and was using all these fourletter words, just using unbelievable language.

Later on, someone said to me, ‘I can’t believe you can just film him like that.’ But there was no way I was ever going to use it. That was the kind of relationship we had.”

Andrew Ball, senior historian at the University of Virginia’s Center for Politics, noted that the first decade after Kennedy’s assassination was defined by the stately “Camelot school” of biography, including former JFK aide Arthur Schlesinger’s Pulitzer Prize-winning “A Thousand Days.”

But starting in the 1970s, in the post-Watergate era, the Kennedy image was challenged by the findings of congressional committees, by a wave of gossipy best sellers and by one of the great investigative reporters, Seymour Hersh. His “The Dark Side of Camelot” detailed Kennedy’s many sexual affairs, alleged connections to organized crime and attempts to assassinate Cuban leader Fidel Castro. When the book came out in 1997, New York Times reviewer Thomas Powers said Hersh’s “copious new detail often makes for painful reading,” which “can’t honestly be ignored.”

But during a recent interview, Hersh acknowledged that Kennedy’s reputation was intact and that if he’d known the president personally he might have been charmed, too.

“We like him. He was a cool guy, no question about it,” Hersh said.

“But he also had a dark side, a really dark side that many people knew about and didn’t want to talk about.”

Kennedy scandals often run through a cycle of revulsion, then acceptance, even rationalization. Last year, Kennedy was the subject of a bestselling memoir by former White House intern Mimi Alford, an explicit account of the president’s extramarital behavior.

Hairy, scary tarantulas don’t spook loyal owners

AP Photos

Left, Nurse Dee Reynolds cares for one of her 50 tarantulas at her home in Los Angeles. Tarantulas are the heaviest, hairiest, scariest spiders on the planet. They have fangs, claws and barbs. They can regrow body parts and be as big as dinner plates, and the females eat the males after mating. But there are many people who call these creepy critters a pet or a passion and insist their beauty is worth the risk of a bite. Right, Reynolds holds “Lucy,” a Chilean Rose Hair (Red Phase).

tarantulas at his exotic pet shop in Tucson, Ariz., which he claims is one of the largest in the country. He sells everything from scorpions and cockroaches to ferrets, lizards and snakes, but nothing is as popular as the tarantula, and not just around Halloween.

His biggest tarantula is a mature male Goliath bird-eater that measures 10 inches long from front leg to back leg. The most expensive one Macneil has ever sold went for $900.

Macneil said his customers include museums, scientists and teachers and up to an estimated 20,000 pet owners and hobby enthusiasts.

A metallic blue tarantula is one of the most sought after, with females selling for about $400 this year. They were $700 last year, he said, because there was a shortage.

“But so many were bred that the price dropped to $400. Babies were $200 last year, and this year, they are $100.”

The tarantula starts life as a sling — short for spiderling — so they can be as small as a fingernail and grow as large as a dinner plate. It eats mostly live crickets, cockroaches and some mice.

The spider turns prey into stew by pumping in venom through its fangs.

When you hold a tarantula, some feel like vel-

Reynolds said. Although there is no documented case of a fatal bite, some of the spiders have more potent venom than others, and there is no antivenom, so you treat the symptoms and hope for the best, she said.

Reynolds has never been bitten, but Macneil said he’s been bitten five or six times. He said it hurts for a few minutes, then goes numb.

So why do people keep and study tarantulas? For expert Stan Schultz, it’s about the exotic.

The 70-year-old from Calgary, Alberta, said he got interested in the critters when he was young because normal pets became boring.

Schultz has spent more than 45 years keeping, catching, importing, breeding, selling, writing and lecturing about tarantulas. His book, “The Tarantula Keeper’s Guide,” is in its third edition and headed to its fourth.

At one time, Schultz had 1,300 tarantulas — all with names.

When asked to describe the most interesting thing about the spider, Schultz said recognizing the “basic aspects of learning and, dare I say it, intelligence in tarantulas. But, before you get your hopes up, they’re still closer to a cabbage than the family dog in smarts.”

But there’s no handling her 8-inch bird-eater. “My girl happens to be wild.

You can look, but don’t touch. She has a nasty attitude.”

Many tarantulas are docile, however. Macneil has a 9-inch spider named Tess who is “extremely docile and loves you to hold her. They don’t like to be petted. Their barbs or hair would come out and make you itch,” he said.

All tarantulas can bite, but most owners say it’s no worse than a bee sting, unless you are allergic. If you are, it can be fatal,

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Tarantulas are the heaviest, hairiest, scariest spiders on the planet.

They have fangs, claws and barbs. They can regrow body parts and be as big as dinner plates, and the females eat the males after mating. But there are many people who call these creepy critters a pet or a passion and insist their beauty is worth the risk of a bite.

“They are fascinating to watch. They have (eight) beautiful slender legs; you look at how they are put together and how they dig and burrow,” said Dee Reynolds, a 36-year-old nurse who has more than 50 tarantulas at her Los Angeles home.

Reynolds doesn’t consider her tarantulas pets in the traditional sense, but she says a lot of people do and will name them, talk to them and show them off.

Plus, in terms of being pets, they have lots of benefits, she said. “They don’t need daily walks, they don’t have to be fed special diets, they don’t claw furniture or bark, and you don’t have to find somebody to take care of them when you go on vacation,” said Reynolds.

But, unlike Fido or Whiskers, you can’t cuddle with them, dress them for Halloween or play catch. They can cost hundreds of dollars, but they can also live for 30 years.

Duke Ellington: the man and his music “Duke: A Life of Duke Ellington” (Gotham Books),

by Terry Teachout Duke Ellington died nearly 40 years ago, but for jazz fans of a certain age his musical creativity and elegant style remain timeless.

Whether he was leading his orchestra in “Take the A Train,” the composition by collaborator Billy Strayhorn that became Ellington’s theme, or assuring his fans in his velvety bass-baritone that he loved them madly, the Duke’s public persona as a jazz giant has endured for half a century.

Fans remain familiar with the music, from popular hits like “Mood Indigo” and “Sophisticated Lady” to the ambitious longer works that often drew mixed reviews, but the man himself is still — by his own design — shrouded in mystery.

Terry Teachout, the Wall Street Journal drama critic and author of a critically acclaimed biography of Louis Armstrong, penetrates that veil with a portrait of a talented musician obsessed with his quest for respectability who remained evasive and deceptive in his deal-

ings with band members and other close associates. Even his closest friends could only guess at what he really thought.

But what cannot be denied is that this high school dropout and self-taught musician ranks as the greatest of all jazz composers, one who left behind roughly 1,700 compositions. He was notorious for incorporating into his work many of the musical riffs of his band members, often without offering them due credit or compensation. When he did

pay, it was usually a modest onetime amount rather than a share of royalties.

“The band was his musical laboratory, the great good place where he experimented with new ideas, and he was incapable of functioning as a composer without its constant presence,” Teachout writes.

Ellington’s work schedule was daunting, and he did much of his composing in hotel rooms late at night and into the morning. He also was notorious for procrastination, putting off the completion of long-awaited compositions until the performance date arrived and delay was no longer an option.

One aspect of his life that the suave and urbane bandleader did make time for was lovemaking.

The Duke and his wife, Edna, separated in 1929 after 11 years of marriage when his philandering prompted her to slash him on the face with a razor, leaving a scar on his left cheek. They never divorced, but Ellington took up with a succession of women and never lacked for female companionship.

From his childhood in a black middle-class neighborhood in Washington, D.C., Ellington

went to New York, where he made his mark performing in Harlem’s Cotton Club during the Roaring ’20s. Teachout then describes the ups and downs of the musician’s career that took him to Carnegie Hall before he fell out of favor amid changes in the public’s musical tastes and set the stage for his stellar comeback at the 1956 Newport Jazz Festival.

The experience of being black in America served as a theme for some of Ellington’s compositions, including “Black, Brown and Beige,” a 45-minute suite performed for the first time in 1943. The Duke and his band received a warm reception when they performed in the segregated South, but they bunked in private Pullman cars rather than seek lodgings that would accommodate them.

This well-researched biography is sure to appeal to longtime jazz fans who revel in their memories of Ellington’s work and others who may want to learn more about his fascinating life. Parts of the book presuppose a level of musical knowledge that not all readers have, but they are sure to gain a better understanding of his greatness.

‘The Goldfinch’ is a tale of art and loss “The Goldfinch” (Little, Brown & Co.), by Donna Tartt This absorbing novel begins when an ordinary excursion to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City by 13-year-old Theo Decker and his mother erupts in a sudden, senseless act of violence.

In the mayhem that follows, Decker’s mother is killed and he somehow picks up and walks away with a priceless piece of artwork from the 1600s, “The Goldfinch” by Carel Fabritius.

The scene unfolds slowly in harrowing detail and sets in motion nearly every subsequent event in the novel.

Suddenly motherless, Decker’s quiet life becomes tumultuous.

He is taken in by his friend’s wealthy and kind but distant family, and later goes to live

with his estranged, gamblingaddicted father and his cocktail waitress girlfriend on the semiabandoned outskirts of Las

Vegas. There he meets Boris, a charming but unhinged expat with Ukrainian and Russian roots who becomes his best friend, introducing Decker to a larger world via both Russian novels and drugs.

As he grows older, he continues to secretly protect the painting, both as a work of beauty he has grown to cherish and as the only link to life before the tragedy. Establishing himself as an antiques dealer back in New York as an adult, Decker strives for a calm life, but soon Boris re-emerges and everything he thought was in his past comes back in full force to haunt him.

Tartt, in her third novel after “The Secret History” and “The Little Friend,” paints the many different strata of life that Decker floats through with vivid

detail, including the dissolute Vegas gambling scene, highsociety Manhattan, the world of antique furniture dealing and shady underworld art dens.

The author trains an acute eye on the moral ambiguity of all of her characters in “The Goldfinch”: Decker, for example, can be deeply sympathetic but also proves capable of shocking acts both unethical and violent.

The painting “The Goldfinch,” which in reality hangs in The Hague in the Netherlands, portrays a delicate bird chained permanently to a perch, looking toward the viewer with solemn dignity, and Tartt’s characters wrestle with the question of whether they are any freer than the finch, or just as imprisoned by their own unreliable hearts or fate.

“Ties That Bind: Stories of Love & Gratitude From the First Ten Years of StoryCorps” (The Penguin Press), by Dave Isay Ten years ago this month a small sound studio opened in the middle of Grand Central Terminal in New York City. Its purpose: to collect the stories of ordinary Americans. The idea for the StoryCorps project was simple. People would come and spend 40 minutes recording an interview with the most important person in their lives. Over the last decade, nearly 100,000 people have participated in the project, either as interviewers or interviewees. The stories are archived at the Library of Congress and some have been broadcast on public radio as part of NPR’s “Morning Edition.”

Now, to mark StoryCorps’ 10-year anniversary, the project is releasing “Ties That Bind,” the fourth installment in a growing series of StoryCorps books.

Previously, StoryCorps published a collection on the project’s five-year anniversary, a collection of stories on mothers and last year’s Valentine’s Day collection of love stories. The latest collection focuses on the people we count as family.

Like the previous works, the newest book is made up of a number of conversations that StoryCorps recorded. Each story starts with the names of the interviewer and interviewee and their relationship.

There are conversations between friends, siblings and parents and children as well as more unexpected pairs: a teacher and her former student, a doctor and his longtime patient, and a mother and the man who killed her only son.

Their edited conversations follow. No story lasts more than a few pages. A picture of the interviewee and interview finish the story.

There are stories about a man who became friends with his wife’s ex-husband, about a couple that raises their niece after a car crash kills her mother and about a woman with shortterm memory loss who runs a marathon with her boyfriend. In one story, a mother and daughter, both soldiers, talk about growing closer when they are deployed to Iraq together.

In another, siblings, one transgender and the other gay, talk about how they’ve supported each other.

Given that the book is a 10-year anniversary collection, it might have been nice to include the first story the project recorded, or at least one from the first day. As it is, the stories in the new book date back only to 2007. Still, what’s included is sweet and sad, heartwarming and watery-eye inducing.

It’s the kind of book that gives you the urge to call up someone important in your life, just to say hi.

Average 30-year mortgage at 4.13 percent

WASHINGTON (AP) — Average U.S. rates on fixed mortgages dropped this week to their lowest levels in four months, a positive sign for the housing recovery.

Mortgage buyer Freddie Mac says the average rate on the 30-year loan fell to 4.13 percent. That’s down from 4.28 percent. The average on the 15-year fixed loan declined to 3.24 percent from 3.33 percent.

Both averages are the lowest since June 20.

Mortgage rates have been falling since September, when 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 a slowdown in hiring in September makes it more likely that the Fed will continue its stimulus into next year.

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

The 10-year note traded at 2.50 percent Wednesday, down sharply from 2.61 percent last Thursday.

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 ticked up to 0.8 point from 0.7 point. The fee for a 15-year loan declined to 0.6 point from 0.7 point.

The average rate on a one-year adjustable-rate mortgage fell to 2.60 percent from 2.63 percent. The fee rose to 0.5 point from 0.4 point.

The average rate on a five-year adjustable mortgage dropped to 3.00 percent from 3.07 percent.

The fee was unchanged at 0.4 point.

Six pack apps – the apps you need Raise house, lower flood risk

This Sept. 14 photo provided by John Paynter shows his house after it was raised in Long Beach Island, N.J. Paynter’s vacation home now stands 13 feet higher than it did before Superstorm Sandy. The National Flood Insurance Program says floods are the No. 1 natural disaster in the U.S., with insurance claims totaling on average more than $3 billion annually from 2003 to 2012.

tures more than once in their lifetime,” he says.

Homes with an open foundation — with a basement or crawl space — are the easiest and least expensive to raise. “It’s easy to get underneath and get the structure of the house from underneath and lift it up,” he says.

Raising those built on a slab foundation takes more time and money.

“You have to open up walls and remove lower cabinets,” Scott says.

Any air conditioning and heating systems in the basement must be relocated, as well as power and other utilities. “They have to go on or above the main level of the structure so they won’t be damaged,” Scott says.

And then there’s the question of how you’ll get up to the higher house. Where will you put the stairs, for example?

“A lot of seniors live at the beach.

They may need to integrate a lift,” says Scott.

He uses a hydraulic machine to jack up a house, and says the process is so smooth that he once put a glass of red wine on a tabletop.

“Not a drop was spilled,” he says.

Still, he advises people to take pictures off the walls and pack up any valuable crystal.

A house may be set down on pilings or cinderblocks, depending on the height.

It’s likely that millions of homes will have to be raised based on redrawn flood maps nationwide, Scott says. However, Dan Watson, a spokesman for the Federal Emergency Management Agency, says it’s difficult to say how many and where: “In some cases the risk has gone down and in some cases it has gone up.”

Eileen Benner says elevating her home in Atlantic City, N.J., was a “no-brainer” after it suffered extensive flood damage during Superstorm Sandy. “I would tell anybody who has the money available to go ahead and do it,” she says.

John Paynter’s Long Beach Island, N.J., vacation home now stands 13 feet higher than it did before the storm a year ago. He, too, says he’s glad he did it, though the process itself was nerve-wracking: “You heard a lot of cracks and creaks.”

Nationwide, insurance claims for flooding damage totaled on average more than $3 billion annually from 2003 to 2012, according to the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). And rising sea levels and more severe storms mean that in some areas, more homeowners are finding themselves in flood zones for the first time or in higher-risk ones.

The most common way to reduce the risk: elevating the home, the NFIP says.

The process can cost a lot — more than $100,000 in many cases, depending on the home’s size, location and foundation. But homeowners may be eligible to get some help from flood insurance policies and grants.

Flood elevation maps determine whether a property needs to be raised and by how much.

Homeowners in high risk zones who choose not to raise their homes could see their flood insurance premiums skyrocket.

Roderick Scott of L&R Resources, a Mandeville, La., company that does home elevations, recommends lifting a house 1 or 2 feet above the minimum needed to get a flood elevation certificate.

Safaris in this rich gameviewing destination offer up-close views of giraffes and many other animals, including lions, elephants and hippos.

Botswana’s Okavango Delta’s got game OKAVANGO DELTA, Botswana (AP) — I’m jolted from sleep by a deep and rolling roar and what sounds like the slithering paws of a large cat trawling through my cabin.

“Oh my God, I think something’s in our room,” I whisper, waking up my friend and roommate, Patricia Lawton.

“I know,” she whispers back, adding a few expletives.

It might sound like the start of a Maurice Sendak story, but as we lay in our dreamy cabin in the great wilderness of Botswana’s Okavango Delta, we were truly snoozing where the wild things are.

Days before, when our safari began, we were told never to leave our tent at night to avoid encounters with the wild things.

But what if they came to us? For several hours, Patricia and I lay

still, so afraid to move that we dared not even call for help. If this creature was in our room, the only thing that separated us from the potential intruder was a flimsy mosquito net billowing around our four-poster bed. At one point it sounded like an animal was dragging our backpacks around. I cursed Patricia under my breath, thinking she had once again left the patio door to our cabin open — a massive no-no while lodging deep in the savannah.

Finally I picked up the phone beside the bed, punching in random numbers since I had no directory.

“Something is in our room, we need help,” I stuttered to the woman who answered. She alerted the safari staff on patrol. They discovered an elephant had been roaming around all night on the

Two lions lounge in the Okavango Delta in Botswana. Safaris in this rich gameviewing destination offer up-close views of the big cats and many other animals, including elephants, giraffes and hippos.

If You Go …

BOTSWANA TOURISM:

http://www.botswanatourism.co.bw deck that lined the lodge perimeter, feasting on foliage shading our cabin.

Drenched in sweat — not from Botswana’s sweltering heat but from our anxiety — Patricia and I hugged each other and laughed, slightly embarrassed that we genuinely thought we were about to be a large cat’s meow.

That drama-filled last night of our safari was a fitting end to what had been a week of pure magic and wonder.

We landed in Botswana zombie-like but excited, after 48 hours with no sleep, traversing time zones on two back-to-back overnight flights and another four flights. The safari began as soon as we got to PomPom airport in Muan, Botswana. We jumped in a 4 x 4 after being greeted by two guides from our safari company andBeyond. Guide Kgosikebatho Marota asked that we call him Chief, and guide Kutlwano Mobe said he goes by Kuks.

Minutes into driving deep into the savannah, we were shaken out of our bleariness by the sight of vervet monkeys swinging through tree tops, herds of impalas prancing by and graceful woodland kingfishers with fringed, bright blue wings sweeping through the cloudless sky.

As if this wasn’t enough to tickle my African-born but North

This March 3 photo shows elephants in the Chobe National Park in Botswana.

Safaris in this rich game-viewing destination offer up-close views of elephants and many other animals, including lions, giraffes and hippos.

American-bred fancy (I was born in Nairobi but raised in Canada), Chief beckoned us to look to the right of our jeep.

“Lions came through here this morning, probably tracking the buffalo we saw yesterday. Those are their footprints,” he said, instructing the driver to follow them.

We drove through the vast expanse of sun-drenched land, sprinkled with acacia trees, bulbous baobab trees and towering termite mounds, steering over and through bushes. We turned a corner and spotted a pride of six lions sprawled in the grass, lounging in the blistering afternoon sun in post-kill splendor. Their lolling yawns revealed formidable fangs and hinted at the hard work that goes into ruling such a fine kingdom.

The moment was pure magic, a

“National Geographic” episode come to life.

The big cats are among more than 100 species of mammals and 400 species of birds that call the delta home. This diversity found amid the lily-speckled marshes, blue lagoons and picturesque woodlands make this place, set along the banks of the Okavango River, one of Africa’s richest game-viewing destinations, albeit for tourists one of the continent’s pricier ones as well.

Conde Nast Traveler magazine recognized the Botswana government’s efforts to conserve the Okavango’s environment while balancing the needs of local people with a 2013 World Savers Award for a sustainable destination in a developing country.

Our tour company has also been working with the government to reintroduce rhinos into the delta.

Largest signed baseball collection on display ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — New York Yankees legend Mickey Mantle signed a baseball for Dennis Schrader in 1956, when Schrader was a 9-year-old boy attending a spring training game in Florida, leading to a lifelong obsession: He now has more than 4,600 signed baseballs, certified by Guinness as the largest such collection in the world.

That obsession is now on display at the St. Petersburg Museum of History in Florida. “Schrader’s Little Cooperstown” opened to the public Tuesday, and Schrader was grinning from ear to ear.

He and his wife have loaned the balls to the museum for 20 years, and after that, they will be returned to the family.

Previously, Schrader’s baseballs were displayed in a 12-by14-foot room in his home that had walls a foot thick, a bank vault door, motion sensors and video camera surveillance.

The semi-retired mobile home executive once spent $25,000 on a single ball, signed by Joe DiMaggio and then-wife Marilyn Monroe.

He estimates the collection is worth $2 million to $3 million.

Visitors to the St. Petersburg History Museum view some of Dennis Schrader’s autographed baseballs Tuesday in St. Petersburg, Fla. New York Yankees legend Mickey Mantle signed a baseball for Schrader in 1956, when Schrader was a 9-year-old boy attending a spring training game in Florida, leading to a lifelong obsession: He now has more than 4,600 signed baseballs, certified by Guinness as the largest such collection in the world.

The collection is a trip through baseball history, and Schrader will personally give tours of the collection to groups.

There are the obvious great signatures: Mickey Mantle, Babe Ruth and Jackie

Robinson. There are several Negro League balls, a tribute to the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League featured in the movie “A League of Their Own,” and several signed by celebrities and politicians.

“He captured the essence of baseball,” said St. Petersburg Mayor Bill Foster.

In August 2011, Guinness World Records certified him as the owner of 4,020 baseballs signed by major league baseball players. Duplicates and balls

signed by non-baseball celebrities — including President Barack Obama — brought his collection of baseballs to more than 4,600.

It cost the museum $300,000 to design the exhibit and two years for city officials to convince Schrader to loan the precious collection.

The museum, which sits along St. Petersburg’s downtown waterfront, is also gearing up to celebrate the 100th anniversary of baseball spring training in the city. Spring training began in St. Petersburg with the St. Louis Browns playing at Coffee Pot Park in 1914.

Schrader admitted that “there’s an emptiness” in his home without the baseballs, but said the vault was filled with other collectibles, including his wife’s 500 cookie jars and several hundred celebrity autographed photos.

Schrader’s wife, Mary, said she and her husband won’t stop collecting signed baseballs.

“In fact, I have a ball in my purse right now,” Mary Schrader said, laughing and showing the blank ball.

“I always carry one around, because you never know who you’ll run into.”
