CONCORD TOWNSHIP

Voters of Concord Township passed its fiveyear, 3.7-mill levy for fire and emergency medical services provided by the city of Troy. The unofficial results of the levy were 1,685 votes for (54 percent) and 1,429 votes against (45 percent) the issue.

Concord Township trustee Bill Whidden expressed his thanks for the passage of the Concord Township residents to contract with the city of Troy for its fire and medical response services.

“The trustees of Concord Township would like to thank each one in the Concord Township community for your support in passing the levy,” Whidden said in a prepared statement. “With the positive

support of this levy we are assured that we will continue to receive the best fire protection for our property and the best emergency medical services for the people in our township.”

The annual cost of the levy is $113.31 per year to a homeowner with the market value of $100,000 and the 3.7 mills levy is the first increase for the services in 12 years.

“Again, we want to say thank you to our neighbors in the township for their support,” Whidden said.

According to Miami County Board of Election officials, there are 1,471 provisional votes countywide.

Official ballot results will be certified in the next three weeks.

The plea agreement also ordered Harrah to pay restitution in the amount of $1,240 for scrap metal he allegedly sold and kept in a slush fund. More than $18,600 worth of items that belonged to the county were recovered at Harrah’s residence, which has since been foreclosed upon.

Wilson has described the county’s maintenance department as a “culture of corruption” that exceeded the bounds of the internal employees. He said the internal investigation of the department has ended, but that at least one other person will be charged for involvement of the maintenance department scheme, including one Troy man who also appeared court Monday.

Aside from Harrah, the maintenance department’s former team leader, Bruce Ball, 61, of Troy, was convicted on a charge of theft in office, a felony, in July and was sentenced in September to serve a 6-month community control sanctions sentence, in addition to five days in jail. As a stipulation of that sentence, Ball was disqualified from holding pubic office for the rest of his life, paid a $1,000 fine and the pension board was notified of the outcome of his case.

At his sentencing hearing, Ball claimed some county workers would “borrow things and bring them back.”

Ball, who earned $17.68 an hour, also was ordered to pay restitution in his case and stolen equipment found in his possession consisted of a lawn mower and a leaf blower.

Of the three other county maintenance workers suspended in May by the county, Anthony Canfarelli, 55, of Pleasant Hill, Stanley Maitlen II, 48, of Greenville, and Rob Scherer, 45, of Troy, only Scherer was reinstated.

The other two have not been charged with any crimes.

Council approves building’s sale

BY NATALIE KNOTH Staff Writer nknoth@tdnpublishing.com TROY — City council authorized selling the Shanesy Building at Monday’s meeting, after the buildings, streets and sidewalks committee last week recommended bidding take place. Demolition had been sought by city staff for financial reasons.

Prior to the council’s vote, council member Lynne Snee asked if the city had a timeline for moving forward on bidding for the building at 114 S. Market St., next to city hall.

Director of Public Service and Safety Patrick Titterington said staff wanted to ensure a comprehensive plan was in place before firm dates are set.

“I don’t mean to be roundabout, but we don’t have a set date in mind,” he said.

The city purchased the building for possible expansion and to avoid being “land locked.” However, due to financial constraints, the city has conducted only minor necessary repairs, and the building has deteriorated and declined in value.

Renovation costs are estimated at $1 million, according to Midwest Maintenance Inc. Downtown investors who have inspected the building estimated they would pay between $30,000 and $50,000 for the property, which the city bought for $165,000 through legislation authorized in December 2001.

Resident Lester Conard said the city would “write up” residents who failed to maintain a property, as he alleged the city has.

“That is not good stewardship,” Conard said of the deteriorating city building.

“Maybe someone can enlighten me about what happened in that period of time.”

In response, Titterington said the city conducted only outside maintenance deemed necessary, trying to avoid added taxes, charges and expenses in the face of declining revenues and increased expenses. The current problems with the structure are mostly inside, he added.

“It’s kind of a Catch 22.

We’ve been asked and admonished to reduce our costs however we can,” Titterington said. “And unfortunately (we’re) now in the position of what to do with the property in the long-term.”

Conard acknowledged that economic conditions have limited the city’s spending power, but that residents are held to a higher standard for maintaining property.

“It doesn’t seem like a two-way street here in Troy,” he said.

Council also approved: • A three-year street lighting agreement beginning in 2013 with Miami Valley Lighting, LLC/DPL Energy Resources, Inc., negotiated by the Miami Valley Communication Council (MVCC) with 17 other Miami Valley communities.

With Troy as an affiliate member of MVCC, the city will save an estimated 19 percent on street lighting costs, equal to about $221,000 over the time period from Jan. 1, 2013 to Dec. 31, 2015.

• Establishing the city of Troy as the local public

agency administering the Downtown Streetscape Program through an agreement with the Ohio Department of Transportation.

• Renewing an agreement with the Miami County Public Defender’s Commission for services at a cost of about $21,341 — the same since 2009.

• An agreement allowing Deltech Corporation to expand its location on South Union Street, requiring access to water lines under the CSX Railroad for fire protection. The city will a Facilities enter Encroachment Agreement with CSX Transportation, Inc., for the purpose of ensuring safety.

• Establishing specific restrictions on panhandling on highway access ramps and private property, among other locations.

• Amending the minimum wage for seasonal and part-time workers to $7.85, effective Jan.1.

In other council news: • Councilman Bobby Phillips asked that city council hold a second reading of legislation clarifying vendor requirements in Troy, to allow time to have his questions about the legislation answered.

• Mayor Mike Beamish reminded all in attendance that Election Day was the following day.

“It’s an opportunity; it’s a duty; it’s a privilege,” he said.

He also stated that the Christmas tree for downtown Troy would be arriving Wednesday.

• Beamish also praised DP&L operations supervisor Scott Frank, who was in attendance at the meeting, for his response to the outages after last week’s storm.

Newton levy is OK’d

BY MELANIE YINGST Staff Writer myingst@tdnpublishing.com Newton Local School passed its renewal of a three-year, 0.75 percent traditional income tax with 918 votes (54 percent) for the levy and 781 votes (45 percent) against the renewal.

The annual revenue from the levy accounts for $475,000 of the district’s general operating fund. The

PLEASANT HILL district has an approximate total budget of $5.2 million per year.

Superintendent Pat McBride expressed his appreciation to the community for its support of the renewal.

“I’d like to thank the voters of Newton Township and all who continue to support the school,” McBride said.

for their tax dollar.”

The three-year, 0.75 percent traditional income tax was first passed in 2004.

The levy was placed on the ballot a year early and with its passage, will expire at the end of 2016.

According to Miami County Board of Election officials, there are 1,471 provisional votes county-wide.

Official ballot results will be certified in the next three weeks.

McBride said although he felt the renewal passed ” a little too close,” he was appreciative of its continued support.

“Since this is a threeyear renewal, we hate to bombard people with information every two to three years,” McBride said. “At the same time, we know people see the need to continue to support the school and we will continue to provide an excellent educational value

ME renewal narrowly passes

BY MELANIE YINGST Staff Writer myingst@tdnpublishing.com Miami East Local Schools narrowly passed its renewal levy, a fiveyear, 3.5 mills property tax for general operating funds with 2,232 votes (53 percent) for the levy and 2,006 votes (47 percent) against the levy.

The levy generates approximately $380,000 a year and collection has been in place for 25 years.

Superintendent Dr.

CASSTOWN Todd Rappold said the narrow passage of the levy demonstrates people in the community still are experiencing tough economic times and the district appreciates the continued support of the school district.

“Renewals are just as tough to pass as new operating funds,” Rappold said.

“Fortunately, we are very appreciative the community continues to support the

books, educational supplies, transportation and student support programs.

East Local Miami Schools’ treasurer Lisa Fahncke said she was very happy the renewal passed.

“I’m very happy we have the support of the community,” she said.

According to Miami County Board of Election officials, there are 1,471 provisional votes countywide.

Rappold said the district is still on the Ohio Department of Education’s “Fiscal Watch” list with additional fiscal and performance audits.

“This renewal is very important,” Rappold said.

“I’m very pleased and appreciative. We have the smallest staff in 20 years and we still continue to do remarkable things.”

The 3.5 mill renewal tax levy can only be used for general operating expenses, including: teachers,

BY JOYELL NEVINS Ohio Community Media editorial@tdnpublishing.com With all 10 of the precincts reporting in, it doesn’t look good for Milton-Union Exempted Village Schools — but it’s not over yet. Its five-year, 10.9-mil renewal levy failed by a very close margin – just 14 votes.

According to the unofficial results from the Miami County Board of Elections, votes against the tax levy came in at 50.14 percent, or 2,496 votes.

Votes for the tax levy were at 2,482 votes, or 49.86 percent. The levy first passed in 2002, and renewed in 2007 with 56 percent of votes. It is intended to go into the

WEST MILTON school’s general operating fund and has been used for operating expenses, salaries, benefits, maintenance and transportation. No additional taxes were to be raised.

“All districts are cutting it close to the vest these days moneywise, and if we lost $1.7 million, that would be devastating to us,” Treasurer Chuck Klein said in a previous interview.

Board of education president Jodi Minneman is hoping those final few votes will come from the provisional ballots, which have up to 10 days to come in.

“It ain’t over till the fat lady sings,” she said.

Ohioans reject state Issue 1 COLUMBUS (AP) — For the fifth time in 100 years, Ohioans have rejected the chance to revisit Ohio’s Constitution.

Such a forum would have allowed debate on issues such as redistricting, term limits, casino gambling and gay marriage. Instead, voters rejected Issue 1 in Tuesday’s election by strong margins in every county.

Under state law, the question of calling a constitutional convention must

Dems snatch Republican’s Senate seats around U.S. Brown survives Mandel’s charge WASHINGTON (AP) — Majority Democrats snatched Republican-held Senate seats in Indiana and Massachusetts on Tuesday, complicating the GOP’s uphill effort to take control of the S e n a t e .

Independent Angus King won the GOP Senate seat in Maine to add a dose of uncertainty to the fierce fight for the BROWN majority.

Democratic Rep. Joe Donnelly edged out tea party-backed Indiana state treasurer Richard Mourdock in a race rocked by the Republican candidate’s clumsy comment that pregnancy resulting from rape is “something God intended.”

Mourdock also upset some Indiana voters for his decision to sue to stop the federal auto bailout of Chrysler, which means jobs building transmissions to thousands in Kokomo. And he alienated some in his own party with his divisive win over six-term Sen. Richard Lugar in the May GOP primary. Lugar refused to campaign for him.

knocked out Republican Sen. Scott Brown, who had stunned the political world in January 2010 when he won the late Sen. Edward M. Kennedy’s seat.

The strong Democratic tilt in the state and President Barack Obama’s easy win over former Gov. Mitt Romney in Massachusetts helped the consumer advocate in her bid.

The race was one of the most expensive in the country $68 million even though both candidates agreed to bar outside spending.

In Ohio, Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown survived an onslaught of outside spending, some $30 million, to defeat state treasurer Josh Mandel. In Pennsylvania, Democratic Sen. Bob Casey survived a late scare from businessman Tom Smith, who invested more than $17 million of his own money in the race.

Republicans set their sights on three Democraticheld seats Nebraska, North Dakota and Virginia. GOP candidates in those states grabbed the early lead.

Democrats currently hold a 53-47 edge in the Senate, including the two independents who caucus with them. Republicans need a net of four seats to grab the majority, three if Republican Mitt Romney wins the presidency.

The caustic campaign for control of the Senate in a divided Congress was marked by endless negative ads and more than $1 billion in spending by outside groups on races from Virginia to Montana, Florida to New Mexico. The outcome in Ohio and Virginia was closely linked to the presidential race.

“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”

EDITORIAL ROUNDUP Chattanooga (Tenn.) Times on Mitt Romney and FEMA: Whenever there is a major natural disaster in the United States, most people affected look to the U.S. government and the Federal Emergency Management Agency to provide help in its aftermath. That was true here after the devastating 2011 tornadoes. It was true following Hurricane Katrina’s 2005 rampage. It is no doubt true now that Hurricane Sandy and a related superstorm continue to batter a goodly portion of the United States.

FEMA’s response isn’t always up to speed and there often are questions about policy and rules (there were some here after the tornadoes).

Usually, though, FEMA does an adequate job providing large-scale disaster aid and assistance in instances where any other agency or the private sector would be hard-pressed to meet staggering need. Not many, then, question the federal agency’s overall mission, much less its existence. Mitt Romney, however, does.

He’s on record — in a 2011 GOP primary debate — as saying that it was “immoral” for the federal government to be spending money on disaster relief, when it should be focused on deficit reduction. He went on to say that states, not the fedAs I eral government, should deal with natural disasters.

But a spate of recent violent incidents, including attacks on the American Embassy in Tunis last month, have fueled new tensions between the moderate Islamic government and liberal secularist opposition parties over Islam’s role and the best way to handle extremists. …

Only a minority of Salafis is believed to embrace violence, so, rather than crack down on all Salafis, Ennahda’s leaders have tried to integrate them into the democratic system. But the attack on the embassy, which has harmed Tunisia’s image and efforts to revive the faltering economy, may have forced a rethinking. …

The pressure is on Ennahda to deliver a Constitution that protects the rights of all Tunisians under a system of equal justice and to create jobs so educated but unemployed young Tunisians are not drawn to the Salafi movement, which would try to exploit their disillusionment. The pressure is also on the secularists to find ways to work with Ennahda to build a better state.

That will require more compromise and commitment to the common good than either side has been willing to show so far.

After the election, it’s time to bring back respect I've been thinking about this column for quite a few days now. As I thought about not writing what I wanted and turned to the trusty internet to find a new topic I landed upon a quote that only confirmed what has been on my heart.

It's Wednesday — the presidential election took place yesterday. What does that mean to you? What has the last year of campaigning, bad mouthing and TV commercials done to you? I don't want anyone to think I'm downplaying the importance of voting or the whole election process, but how is your life different today from the rest of the year? How did you uphold your morals, values and beliefs during the last year? Did you succumb to the badmouthing, commercials and downgrading of the person next to you just because they believed differently than you did/do?

While I believe in healthy debate and discussion, this year in my opinion has been quite different. It's been vicious, it's been filled with anger, words of hate and a lack

Katie Yantis Troy Daily News Columnist of agreeing to disagree. We live in this great nation and that allows us to have our own opinions and to chose our own values and morals. What it does not allow us to do is be disrespectful toward others.

For me, it all started back when Santorum came to town.

I didn't like him. I didn't like his stance and I definitely would not have voted for him; however, if he had a chance to one day be the president of the United States of America, I wouldn't have hated seeing him in person, so I strolled down the street to check it out.

I wasn't there longer than five minutes before I had to leave.

There were people yelling at each other, demeaning each

other and flat out disrespecting each other.

The worst part was a father yelling at a man right in front of his child that was with him.

There was no reason for the reaction of the folks on either side.

Over the last year I have seen pages and pages of arguments on Facebook, people “defriending” people and heated debates get out of hand all because of one day in November and just like that, you blink and it's over.

I believe in having a strong president; I believe in having a strong government. However, I also believe in the people of this nation.

What has every president of this nation said in times of turmoil and disaster? They say something along the lines of “It's the people of this nation that make it a great nation.”

Why do we so quickly forget that? In times of disaster, and heartache we come together like never before, why does that so quickly pass us by and we head back to being the people that forget about helping

each other and will trample anyone to get to the top.

If you want to believe in “Change,” if you want to “Believe” in this nation and you want to move “Forward” then start taking actions toward that everyday in addition to heading to a building to make your thoughts known one day a year.

If you want change, do something TODAY that would promote change. Buy a book and donate it to a child in an underprivileged school and read it to them. Buy someone who looks hungry dinner. Let someone who looks cold have your extra coat or volunteer at a soup kitchen, a hospital or any other organization of your choice.

I have a favorite quote on a coffee cup at home: "Be the change you want to see in the world." If you want to move forward, propel those around you forward and you will move forward with them.

BY TOM MILLHOUSE Ohio Community Media tmillhouse@dailycall.com

Following a workshop session on the issue and readings of the ordinance at two council meetings, Covington Village Council approved an increase in water and sewer rates. In another utility issue considered Monday night, council learned of a program that could save local residents money on their electric bills.

Council members passed a water rate ordinance that will result in a base rate increase of $4 for HANNAH JEAN WILSON the water meter maintenance fund and $3.50 for Hannah was a member of the First TROY — Hannah Jean Wilson, 88, of the capital fund to pay the United Church of Christ in Troy.

by DP&L would then have the option of receiving electricity at about a 35 percent discount over the current price charged by the company.

“The saving is pretty substantial,” Livesay said, noting the average customer would see a reduction of about $30 per month on their electric bill.

Livesay said the program, which is relatively new, is strictly voluntary for customers.

Mayor Ed McCord asked what communities have endorsed the program. Livesay said Eaton, Gratis and Rockford are among those which have endorsed the program.

Livesay said if council endorses the program, DP&L Energy will work with the village to advise customers of the option.

She said the company will pay for the printing and mailing of informational letters to local residents.

McCord advised Livesay that council members will discuss the issue in the future and get back with DP&L Energy on their decision.

Last month, council received notice from DP&L that under an agreement the village will save about $32,000 over two years.

During the meeting, council also authorized Busse to employ Jeremy Yingst as a part-time occasional employee not to exceed an average of 24 hours per week.

In other business council: • Approved a one-year contract with Elaine Christian as village income administrator. tax Christian will be paid $850 per month, the same amount she now receives.

• Accepted the resignation of Dave Beeman as village zoning officer. Busse will now serve as zoning officer.

• Gave second reading to an ordinance adopting

the Sherwin Williams American Heritage exterior colors for use in the downtown historic district.

• Set a public hearing for 6 p.m. Dec. 3, on a request to rezoning 2600 Mote Drive from I-1 industrial to NB, neighborhood business, and another to amend the Central Business District zoning to include general contractor’s offices as a conditionally permitted use.

• Heard McCord issue an invitation to the Covington Community Christmas Candlelight Open House this Friday and Saturday and Nov. 16 and Nov. 17.

He also thanked the fire department for putting up the Christmas banners downtown and village employees for decorating the village Christmas tree.

• Heard Busse note in his administrator’s report that village utility customers have been sent letters explaining the switch to monthly billing instead of the current quarterly bills. He also said the village is researching credit card providers and hope to have the service available for utility customers in January.

Busse also reported interviews of companies interested in conducting a sewage system study will be conducted Nov. 13-14; that he is working with Marias Technology to update the village website; and a condenser cooling fan at the government center has been replaced.

• Heard Linda Lester, owner of Y’All’s Country Club (formerly the Corner Pocket) on North High Street, updated council on improvements she’s making to the business.

• Witnessed council member Lois Newman, whose grandson plays for Troy High School, don a Piqua High School pullover after she lost a friendly Piqua-Troy football game wager with village solicitor Frank Patrizio, whose nephew plays for Piqua High School.

Tipp BOE moves forward on plans for a levy next three or four years.

“We definitely have some facility needs with the age of our buildings,” Kronour said.

Following the meeting, the board adjourned into executive session for an annual evaluation on Kronour’s performance as the school’s superintendent.

Facility planning In the past year, Tippecanoe has been working with Ruetschle Architects in coming up with a five-year facility plan for the school.

Having had a couple meetings with the school’s building facilities committee and the community this past year, Mike Ruetschle reviewed some building options for the elementary and middle schools that would involve building a new facility and renovating or demolishing

existing ones.

Two options would split up elementary and middle school students into three buildings while a couple other plans would split them up into two. A fifth option would put students from kindergarten to eighth grade all in the same building, which was favored by the few residents that attended the community meetings.

Regardless of which option the school goes forward with, Ruetschle believes that any option would work and said that the costs of each plan are in the same range, if the school chooses to partner with the Ohio Facility Construction Commission (OFCC).

Board member Kate Johnsen didn’t see the levy and cuts as payback. She compared the school’s financial situation to a worker going from a $100,000 job to a $50,000 job, changing his or her home budget as a result.

“To simplify it I guess is our home budget has changed, and so the things that we think are the best use of our money are these,” Johnsen said.

Rights and Freedoms In the United States, citizens have many rights and freedoms. Some of the most important are spelled out in the first 10 amendments to the U.S. Constitution, which set up the national government. Those 10 amendments contain such important freedoms that they are known as the nation’s Bill of Rights. The freedoms found in the First Amendment are among the most familiar in America – freedom of religion, freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom to assemble and freedom to petition, or ask, the government to correct problems.

1. As a class, discuss the First Amendment freedoms and what they protect.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Boyfriend is juggling three very separate lives Dear Annie: My boyfriend lives with a woman who gave birth to his child.

He says it is not a romantic arrangement. She wanted to get pregnant, and he provided the genetic material. He sleeps on the sofa.

My issue is, when he wants to spend time with this kid, the mother must always be present.

She also isn't aware that he is dating me, and we've been together for two years. He is divorced, and his ex-wife and other children don't know about this child. He expects me to keep his secret, stay away from the birth mother and be fine with all of this — even when overnight trips are planned.

I will never be fine with this.

He says I should trust him. But, Annie, I just can't wrap my head around why I should blindly accept this. Am I wrong? — Third Wheel Dear Third: Your boyfriend is juggling three separate lives: one with you, one with his ex-wife and children, and another with his "secret" child and the biological mother.

We can think of no good reason for this man to be living with another woman unless he has made a commitment to her in addition to his child. He can support the child emotionally and financially without sleeping on her sofa.

It is not your place to inform his ex-wife or his other children about his arrangement.

However, we think he is having a romantic relationship with the woman he lives with, and you are his sideline. What you do about that is up to you.

Dear Annie: I am 17 years old, and I have a younger sister who is 13. Her attitude is awful.

I have to drive her to school every day, and we always get into fights. She constantly criticizes my driving and puts me down. She also calls me a lot of names and says hurtful things.

We even got into a physical fight.

I've told my parents that she is rude and I am not inclined to do anything for her. But my parents won't get involved. They never punish her, and she gets away with everything. In fact, they just bought her a new computer.

I don't know what to do anymore. I can't wait until I leave for college and won't have to deal with her. Is that wrong?

What should I do? — Frustrated Sister Dear Frustrated: We understand that your little sister is driving you nuts. This is not uncommon with younger siblings.

We suggest you be the adult.

Don't let her ruffle you. Ignore her barbs and criticisms, which are intended to provoke a response and get your attention.

When you need to vent, talk to your school counselor, best friend, favorite teacher or a sympathetic relative. But please remember that when your sister outgrows this immature stage, she could become your closest friend. Hang in there.

Dear Annie: This is in response to "Joe's Buddies for Life," whose 50-year-old friend is still trying to realize a dream.

I spent my career as a high school guidance counselor.

Many times, kids would have plans to play sports in college as a means of paying for their degree. My advice to them was to go to the coach for an honest assessment of their skills.

"Joe" needs to do the same thing. He needs to find someone who can give him a true assessment of his talents in his chosen field.

He may need some moral support to face this evaluation. He will not be at all agreeable to considering another career until he faces the reality of his chances for success in his dream career. — That First Step Is a Hard One Annie's Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

SUDOKU PUZZLE

HOW TO PLAY: Complete the grid so that every row, column and 3x3 box contains every digit from 1 to 9 inclusively. Find answers to today’s puzzle in tomorrow’s Troy Daily News.

MONDAY’S SOLUTION:

HINTS FROM HELOISE

Here you go readers: The classification of peppers Dear Readers: Is a green bell pepper the same “fruit” as a red bell pepper? Yes! Available in colors of green, orange, red, yellow and even purple, these beautiful fruits (that’s right — it’s a fruit, not a vegetable) are available yearround.

When picked while they are green, these peppers are considered “not ripe.” The longer they are left on the plant, the sweeter they become, and the color changes from green to yellow, orange and then red.

Really! Who knew? Not me!

Not only are they great to cook with, but they are even yummier when eaten raw, with or

Hints from Heloise Columnist without a dip.

Another healthy, tasty hint: Peppers are a great source of vitamins A and C, and red peppers contain twice as many vitamins as the green ones and are the sweetest-tasting! — Heloise GRAPEFRUIT SPOONS Dear Heloise: I read your

column in the Milwaukee Post.

I have a hint for you and your readers that my son tried and now we use quite often. We use a grapefruit spoon to scrape out seeds and insides of peppers instead of knives. — Geraldine T. in Milwaukee You’ve discovered one of the many things I use a grapefruit spoon for! They work well on grapefruits, but are perfect for seeding peppers and cucumbers.

Section the meat not only of grapefruit, but also of oranges and kiwi fruits. Another hint: Use the spoon to remove pits from peaches, apricots and other fruits. — Heloise

WASHING POTATOES Dear Heloise: If I am baking potatoes for a crowd, couldn’t I put them in the dishwasher? Would that get them clean enough? — Mary I. in Dallas No — just the spray of water and high temperature of water won’t clean them. The dishwasher water will not clean all the crevices that a potato has.

The Food and Drug Administration recommends simply washing fruits and vegetables under running water, with no soap or special produce wash. To make sure the potatoes are clean, you should gently scrub them with a vegetable brush. — Heloise

Nicklaus, Hamilton visit Troy in support of Romney

BY MELANIE YINGST Staff Writer myingst@tdnpublishing.com It was a golden opportunity to meet two of Ohio’s celebrated professional athletes during a surprise campaign stop in Troy Monday afternoon.

Scott Hamilton, the 1984 Olympic Gold men’s figure skating champion and native of Bowling Green, and Columbus’ “Golden Bear” golf pro Jack Nicklaus stopped in to shake hands, take pictures and show their support for Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney and his running mate Paul Ryan at the former Mayflower theater Monday afternoon.

“I came out to support Mitt Romney. I believe he has the vision to turn this economy around and to secure the future for my five children and 22 grandchildren,” Nicklaus said. “I come from Ohio. I too have seen my business go in the trash.”

Nicklaus, a six-time Masters Tournament

TROY champion, said he has confidence that Romney is the right choice for the nation and of course, his home state of Ohio.

“I believe Mitt Romney has the abilities to restore America’s reputation as a world leader,” he said.

Hamilton said Romney simply is “the best candidate we’ve ever had. I’ve been waiting my whole life for a candidate like Mitt.

He’ll not only restore this country, he’ll revive it.”

Hamilton said he was sold on Romney’s presidential abilities when he witnessed Romney’s business sense when the former governor of Massachusetts took over the 2002 Olympic Games in Salt Lake City. Hamilton said many people outside of Utah never really knew how dire the Olympic game situation was because Romney saved the city from embarrassment of prior mismanagement.

“It was getting real bleak, but he brought it

back together,” Hamilton said.

Hamilton said he wanted to help support Romney for his bid for president and was very motivated to help the Republican candidate.

“In 2008, all we heard was how things were going to change, and not even 10 percent of what (President Barack Obama) promised has been passed,” Hamilton said.

“Here’s a guy that has a perfect track record and can get this country back on track.”

For Nicklaus, it was his attempt to right a wrong that compelled him to campaign for Romney the day before the election.

He lost by Commissioner Richard Cultice Monday during a campaign stop in Troy to support 5,000 votes, he lost Ohio, Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney. and I’ve been kicking myself ever since,” Nicklaus said. “When Mitt called and asked me for his support, I decided I wasn’t going to make that mistake again. I jumped at the chance.”

Whether posting or responding to an advertisement, watch out for offers to pay more than the advertised price for the item. Scammers will send a check and ask the seller to wire the excess through Western Union (possibly for courier fees).

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

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

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

If you have questions regarding scams like these or others, please contact the Ohio Attorney General’s office at (800)282-0515.

All-too familiar territory Bengals mired in deep slump CINCINNATI (AP) — The Bengals are back on oh-sofamiliar ground, caught in the deep slump that threatens their season at the midpoint.

Happens a lot in Cincinnati.

A 31-23 loss to Denver on Sunday left the Bengals (3-5) with a four-game losing streak.

They’ve had a losing streak of at least four games in 16 of their last 22 seasons. Twice, they lost 10 in a row.

In five of those seasons, they’ve had a pair of losing streaks that went on for at least four games. Overall, it’s their 21st losing streak of four games or more during those 22 seasons.

After going to the playoffs last season as a 9-7 wild card team, they’re going to be hard-pressed to get back. They play the defending Super Bowl champion New York Giants (6-3) on Sunday at Paul Brown Stadium.

The Bengals knew their season could come down to how they did during a stretch of home games against the Steelers, Broncos and Giants. After blowing an early lead and losing 2417 to Pittsburgh, they needed to beat the Broncos to keep up in the AFC. They wasted that chance, too.

Now, a loss to the Giants will

Weeden up and down BEREA (AP) — Browns quarterback Brandon Weeden received a vote of confidence on Election Day from his coach.

He’d happily trade it for a win.

Although the rifle-armed rookie failed to lead Cleveland to a touchdown during a 25-15 loss to Baltimore on Sunday, Browns coach Pat Shurmur offered his unwavering support to the 29year-old QB, whose first nine games in the NFL have included some moments of brilliance — and others he’d love to have back.

As the Browns (2-7) headed into their bye week with a long list of problems, a quarterback controversy is not one of them.

“I do believe in him,” Shurmur said Wednesday. “He is our guy.

It’s not going to be perfect. It’s not going to be perfect all the time.”

During a season in which rookie quarterbacks are making a major impact around the league, Weeden has yet to make a significant dent. He ranks behind fellow first-year starters Andrew Luck, Robert Griffin III, Russell Wilson and Ryan Tannehill in many statistical categories and

Buckeye breather OSU gets bye before 2 final games

Lady Vols prep for life without Summitt This year’s Tennessee Lady Vols have been challenged with upholding Pat Summitt’s legacy without her.

Summitt made the program the standard bearer for women’s college basketball, but she stepped aside in April after announcing last year she has early-onset dementia. See Page 16.

COLUMBUS (AP) — Most will rest. Some will try to heal.

Others will try to catch up on classwork or a personal life.

A bye week is a time to take a breath for the fifth-ranked Ohio State Buckeyes.

There are also a few who will pause, knowing there are only two games left in their college careers.

“It just hit me in the locker room,” senior defensive lineman STAFF FILE PHOTO/ANTHONY WEBER John Simon said Saturday after Ohio State’s Braxton Miller dives in for a two-point conversion ear- Ohio State rolled Illinois 52-22.

“It goes extremely fast. The senlier this season against California.

iors, we’re making every moment count. We’re trying to make this season a memorable one.”

It already has been. But it could be even more memorable.

Despite a glittering start (100, 6-0 Big Ten) to their season, what remains will determine whether Urban Meyer’s first Ohio State team is an unqualified success or one that wilted when it got close to its biggest goals.

“I’m frustrated,” Weeden said following practice.

“We’ve won two games.

We’ve been in games when we’ve had a chance to win and we’ve come up short too many times. As a quarterback, that’s frustrating. I feel like I need to do more to help this team win.”

Weeden still seemed upset about his uneven performance against the Ravens. He drove the Browns inside Baltimore’s 20-yard line five times, but Cleveland couldn’t get into the end zone and had to settle for five field goals from Phil Dawson in dropping its 10th straight game to one of its bitter AFC North enemies.

Weeden finished 20 of 37 for 176 yards and two interceptions, dropping his passer rating to 67.9 — the league’s second-worst mark.

He did throw one touchdown pass in the fourth quarter, but it was wiped out by an illegal formation penalty. It’s been that kind of season for Weeden, who has had more passes dropped than any other quarterback but he has also missed his share of wideopen receivers.

There were chances for big plays against Baltimore, but Weeden didn’t make them. On Cleveland’s second series, he overthrew running back Chris Ogbonnaya (on a play that was nullified by a penalty) and later missed tight end Benjamin Watson, who was

“It was urgent last safety Chris week,” Crocker said on Monday.

“It was urgent the week before that. There’s really no heightened sense of urgency. We’re a very urgent team.”

The division race is fast slipping away. The Bengals are 1-3 against the rest of the AFC North, trailing first-place Baltimore by three games and Pittsburgh by two at the season’s midpoint. The wild card tiebreakers also are against them a 2-5 mark against the AFC overall.

The last two games have stung the most.

They blew a 14-3 firsthalf lead over Pittsburgh, which pulled it out despite missing its top two running backs and two offensive linemen to injury.

They led the Broncos 2017 early in the fourth quarter on Sunday, then fell apart.

Peyton Manning went 6 for 6 for 69 yards and a pair of touchdowns the rest of the way. The Broncos held Andy Dalton to 6-of-11 passing for 48 yards with a sack and an interception. And the offense had its worst moments with the game on the line.

Trailing 24-20 with 11:47 to go, the Bengals got the ball at their 27yard line. A pair of holding penalties and a false start wiped out a third-

hard to get Tennessee at the top of women’s basketball. I want to help her legacy and now Holly’s legacy (be to) continue to stay at the top.

“I wouldn’t want it to slowly fall off and fall off year by year.”

That’s the challenge facing Warlick. During SEC media day last month, she was asked whether she had the worst job in America.

“I was taken aback,” Warlick said. “If you could poll a lot of coaches, they’d love to be in my shoes. I think it’s the best job in the country. It’s the best job in the country for me.”

Indeed, Warlick is uniquely suited for the position.

A Knoxville native, she played for Summit and was the first Tennessee athlete to have her jersey retired.

Warlick knows the history of the program about as well as anyone.

“This is where I have always wanted to be,” Warlick said. “I have never said I am too scared to do this (or) I don’t want to do this. I love the challenge and I love the opportunity to be here. It is in my blood.

It is all I know.

“I think the country and women’s basketball would be shocked if I didn’t have on orange and white. … It is just who I am and what I think I was chosen to do.”

During an August team meeting, Warlick handed each member of the team a white baton to show them what this season means.

The batons included the message: “Tennessee Lady Vols tradition… All we are doing is passing the baton.

New team, new staff, new goals. … Same heart, same pride, same fight. Take the baton and let’s go!”

And the message isn’t just coming from Warlick.

“We have former players come in it seems like every week,” Burdick said. “They huddle up in the circle with us before practice and they give us their little spiel and words of encouragement and tell us every single time, ‘Do not rest on tradition. Continue to build it.

What has come before you is great, but we want to see great things to come in the future.’”

A Salon & Spa Inc.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn.

(AP) — This year’s Tennessee Lady Vols have been challenged with upholding Pat Summitt’s legacy without her.

Summitt made the program the standard bearer for women’s college basketball, but she stepped aside in April after announcing last year she has earlyonset dementia.

The program has been turned over to new coach Holly Warlick, an assistant to Summitt for 27 years.

“We definitely want to keep passing the torch for years to come,” sophomore center Isabelle Harrison said. “It’s something that we’ve embraced. We’re not running away from it.

When we’re into practice, when we’re (lifting) weights, whatever we’re doing, we know what we need to do just having Tennessee across our chest.”

Summitt left the Vols with 1,098 victories and eight national titles in 38 seasons. She remains on staff as head coach emeritus, attends nearly every practice and is expected to be in the stands for all of Tennessee’s home games.

Still, things will be different around Knoxville.

“It will not be the same,” Georgia coach Andy Landers said. “I don’t care how hard people try to make it the same or how much people want it to the same. It won’t be the same.

That’s not to say it won’t be good. It’ll just be different just because Tennessee’s success for the last 36, 37 years has been built around Pat Summitt and that won’t be the case as we go forward.”

Tennessee opens the season Friday at Chattanooga and though the Lady Vols are ranked 20th, it’s the school’s lowest position in the Top 25 since February 1985. They have nobody who started an NCAA tournament game during their run to a regional final last season.

“I think a bunch of people are crossing us off the map,” sophomore forward Cierra Burdick said. “That just kind of fires me up because Pat has worked so

down completion and left the Bengals with a thirdand-25 at their 18-yard line.

Dalton was hit as he threw toward a covered A.J. Green, resulting in an underthrown pass that was intercepted by Bailey.

The Champ Broncos went in for their final touchdown.

The Bengals also had a pass-interference penalty on cornerback Adam “Pacman” Jones that set up the Broncos’ go-ahead touchdown. Jones grabbed the front of Demaryius Thomas’ jersey while breaking up a pass in the end zone, resulting in a 29-yard penalty that put the ball at the 1-yard line.

In large measure, they did it to themselves.

“The penalties in the fourth quarter ended up being very significant,” coach Marvin Lewis said.

“We had four penalties in fourth quarter that really made an impact, for sure.”

NOTES: The Bengals signed LB J.K. Schaffer to their practice squad.

Schaffer grew up in Cincinnati and played for the University of Cincinnati.

Schaffer signed with Jacksonville as an undrafted rookie, played in all four preseason games and was waived. He also spent time on Tampa Bay’s practice squad. … The Bengals will become the second team to host back-to-back games against Peyton and Eli Manning. The Titans did it in 2006 and won both games.

■ National Hockey League

NHL, union back at bargaining table for new talks NEW YORK (AP) — The locked-out NHL players’ association returned to the bargaining table Tuesday, and this time brought Sidney Crosby along.

On Day 52 of the lockout that has delayed the start of the hockey season and threatened to wipe it out completely, the league and the players sat down for the second round of negotiations in four days at an undisclosed site.

Not only were NHL

deputy commissioner Bill Daly and union special counsel Steve Fehr there, as they were for a marathon session by themselves Saturday.

They were joined by Commissioner Gary Bettman, NHLPA executive director Donald Fehr, a handful of team owners, and 13 players including Crosby, who has been an active participant in the process.

“We’re hopeful that we’ll start bargaining and we’ll continue bargaining until we

find a way to make a deal,” Donald Fehr said Tuesday before talks started.

“Sometimes that goes in rather long sessions with short breaks and sometimes you take a few hours or half a day or a day to work on things before you come back together. I don’t know which it will be.

“We certainly hope we’ll be continuing to meet on a regular basis. I hope they do, too. I’m just not making any predictions.”

Fehr’s brother Steve met with Daly on Saturday in a secret location, and neither provided many details of what was discussed, but both agreed that the meeting was productive. That was proven when the sides agreed to quickly meet again Tuesday. There had been no negotiations since talks broke off on Oct. 18 until Saturday.

“The players’ view has always been to keep negotiating until we find a way to

get agreement and you sort of stay at it day by day, so it’s very good to be getting back to the table,” Donald Fehr said. “We hope that this time it produces more progress than we’ve seen in the past, and that we can find a way to make an agreement and to get the game back on the ice as soon as possible.

“We’re hopeful that we’ll start bargaining and we’ll continue bargaining until we find a way to make a deal.”

The NHL requested that

the exact location for Tuesday’s negotiations in New York be kept secret, and the players’ association adhered. Time is becoming a bigger factor every day that passes without a deal. The lockout, which went into effect Sept. 16 after the previous collective bargaining agreement expired, has already forced the cancellation of 327 regular-season games — including the New Year’s Day outdoor Winter Classic in Michigan.

■ CONTINUED FROM 15 team had never won a Cross County Conference title or a sectional title, and the last time the Vikings had won a district title was 1999.

Cash didn’t waste any time putting their talents to use on the varsity squad.

“I threw Leah and Abby to the wolves immediately, making them both captains in their freshman year,” he said. “I said ‘we’re going to have to make this with you guys.’

Immediately, with the juniors and seniors, they had to fight through some of that battle with the feeling of entitlement. They just had to grin and bear it and know that what they were doing was what was right.”

They knew what was expected of them. They just didn’t let it bother them.

“He (Cash) expects a lot of us, but it’s not like he’s ever put a ton of pressure on us,” Dunivan said. “We always knew what we had to do.”

And through it all, the trio helped Miami East to a winning record at 16-7 that season.

During Dunivan, Cash and Millhouse’s sophomore year, Miami East went 213 and won its first ever CCC championship the first of three straight — with the team finally falling in the sectional title game to Anna.

Then came 2011.

The Vikings went 29-1, sweeping the CCC and los-

■ CONTINUED FROM 15 the schedule await.

After taking a couple of extra days off this week (they’ll still have full-tilt practices on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday), the Buckeyes begin to prep for the showdown at Wisconsin on Nov. 17 and at home against archrival Michigan a week later.

“I need the off week.

I’m still battling injuries. Any extra time I can use to rest,” cornerback Bradley Roby said. “The bye week is going to give us a little more time for our academic situations and things like that. It’s coming at a good time even though it took a while to get here.”

Ohio State is 13-9 since 1971 in games coming off a bye week.

It has won the last two (a 2010 win was vacated as part of NCAA sanctions), after losing three in a row 2003-5.

Meyer said the week will come in handy because Ohio State just moved from quarters to semesters, which has changed the academic calendar for the players. He said several players had told him the string of 10 straight games and adapting to semesters has been like “hitting a wall.”

“We can unhit the wall for a week academically, get that in order,” he said. “Get their weights up and bodies right. You get (a bye) usually week six, seven.

(I’ve) never had 10 weeks straight through.”

Ohio State will likely regain starting linebacker Etienne Sabino, who has missed the last four games after cracking a bone in his lower right leg. Almost every Buckeye who plays much has a litany of bumps and bruises, with defensive backs

Dunivan said. “We’ve been to (the Nutter Center’s) gym before, we know what to expect a little more. We don’t feel more pressure at all. We know what we have to do.”

One way or another, the trio will leave Miami East holding all of the individual records. Cash is the career leader in kills (727), assists (1,476) and aces (294), Dunivan leads in blocks (319) and Millhouse leads in digs (837).

“It’s pretty cool when you think about it,” John Cash said of the senior class holding all the records. “And they’ve done it right, too. They’ve gotten all of those numbers with the help of the players around them. Those are shared numbers. If you want to be a successful team, you have to do it that way.

“Those three have turned into great leaders.

They changed the entire culture of the program.

They mean the world to us.”

But what will it take to cement their legacy and silence all of the doubters?

“Another state title,” Abby Cash said.

Now the Vikings — who are 27-1 with possibly two matches remaining, the first of which is Friday in the state semifinal round against Carroll BloomCarroll — are on the verge of successfully defending that championship.

Still, there are those who don’t buy into the Vikings, even with everything they’ve already achieved.

“People say it was a fluke last year,” Abby Cash said. “And they’re still not quiet. They think it’s a fluke that we’re back at state.”

This time around, though, the Vikings have already been there and done that.

“I think we’re a little more prepared this year,”

They won their first-ever sectional title, their first district title since 1999 and earned their first-ever trip to the state tournament by defeating both Anna and Fenwick at the regional level.

Two matches later, the Vikings were celebrating their first-ever state championship.

Dunivan, Cash and Millhouse were only juniors.

Orhian Johnson, Roby and Christian Bryant in particular hoping to get back to something full approaching health.

The coaches, meanwhile, will pound the pavement (or airways) doing some in-season recruiting.

Defensive co-coordinator Everett Withers relishes the chance to mention Ohio State’s unbeaten record when he calls on blue-chippers.

“I’m anxious just to see. I’ve never been undefeated on the road recruiting,” he said. “I imagine it will be easy to go into that high school and talk to that high school coach and counselor with people knowing you’re 10-0.”

Still, the upcoming tests will never be far from everyone’s mind.

“Going to Wisconsin, it’s not going to be an easy game,” safety C.J. Barnett said. “I’ve never been over there I was hurt my sophomore year but I heard it’s a hostile environment.

They have a great running back (in Montee Ball) who can run the ball, great coaches. It’s going to be a tough one but I think we can do it.”

Carlos Hyde, who has become one of the top backs in the Big Ten, has solidified the tailback slot and taken some of the heat off of quarterback Braxton Miller, who was saddled with having to make almost every big play for the Buckeyes early in the season.

Hyde, who has 144 carries for 737 yards and 13 touchdowns in a breakout season, is pleased with Ohio State’s lofty ranking.

Sort of.

“We’re pretty good, but we can be a lot better,” he said. “There’s a lot of things to work on.”

For Roby, now is a good time to think about everything that’s been done and also everything left to do.

“It’s hard to win 10 games in a row and that’s what we accomplished,” he said. “Right now, it’s a grind. The whole season is a grind.

We’re going to keep getting better and keep winning. Coach Meyer has given us some time off during the bye week so we can get healthy.

“That’s what we’re going to do.”
