TROY — Members of the city of Troy’s law and ordinance committee will meet today at 5:30 p.m. in council chambers to discuss the proposed rezoning of a parcel of land located north of Troy-Urbana Road and west of DeWeese Road.

Local custom home builder and developer Frank Harlow, of Harlow Builders, submitted the permit to rezone the property from agriculture use to R-1 residential zoning on behalf of TTF Brown LLC and PTK Realty LLC for a proposed new housing development located north of Troy-Urbana Road and west of DeWeese Road in October.

The rezoning is for two lots : Inlot 9891 with 105.757 acres and Inlot 9892 with 20.888 acres.

The property was annexed to the city of Troy in 2001. The proposed rezoning area also is located in the Miami East Local School District.

Harlow shared his vision for the proposed development if his rezoning request is granted with the Troy Daily News on Wednesday.

LARGER LOTS SIZE IN DEMAND Harlow said if rezoning of the property is approved, up to 80 custom homes on 126 acres of a wooded, country setting would quickly sell. Harlow said he requested the R-1 zoning for the largest possible lot size in the city of Troy which he

believes will minimize impact on the area.

“We’re having so much demand for the northeast part of Troy,” Harlow said Wednesday. “This will give home owners the large lot size that so many want and just can’t find anywhere else.”

Harlow said with the exception of Nottingham, the city of Troy does not have any other home sites to build in the northeast area of town. Nottingham also is in the city limits of Troy and is within Miami East School district.

Comparable lot sizes would be the Rosewood Creek subdivision in Tipp City which is in one of its final phases of building, Harlow said. Harlow said the lots would be the largest the city of Troy has to offer.

Harlow said the site could net up to 80 homes after streets and site work is configured and lot sizes are determined. Harlow said the development could possibly hold only a little over 70 homes once factors like streets, retention pond and dedicated park land was factored in.

Harlow is also the developer of the subdivision of Edgewater and is a builder in the Stonebridge Meadows and Stonebridge developments. Harlow said the largest lots available to build on in the city of Troy are the half acre lots in Stonebridge.

Harlow said the size of the proposed homes would be comparable to Stonebridge sized homes on the larger one acre See WORLDS | 2

Busy Bouncing buys Troy inflatable business Melody Vallieu

TROY — The inflatable rental business is blowing up in the area.

Busy Bouncing of West Milton recently purchased Troy’s Rent A Jumpy to expand its local inventory.

In the sale, Busy Bouncing acquired 20 inflatables — bringing their total up to about 60 — and several delivery trucks, as well as Rent A Jumpy’s customer database, said manager Perry Love.

“Busy Bouncing will be eight years old in 2014 and have been growing consistently over the years. Rent A Jumpy has a lot of loyalty in Miami County and surrounding areas and we are glad to help their customers in the future with the excellent service they have received

over the last five years,” Love said. “Busy Bouncing prides ourselves on customer service and the fact that we strive to have the cleanest inflatables around.”

Perry said Busy Bouncing rents inflatable equipment including moon bounces, obstacle courses and slides.

They also offer dunk tanks, climbing walls and mechanical bulls throughout southwest Ohio and Richmond, Ind. Busy Bouncing offers inflatable bounce houses and a 24-foot rock climbing wall.

They also have concession machines, air brush tattoos and more, Love said.

Love said the company’s client base includes mostly churches and schools. He said they try to help nonprofits as best they can with the budgets that they bring, he said.

Busy Bouncing employs 10,

with the most activity March through November. Love said employees deliver, set-up and take down the inflatables.

He said the company delivers to Dayton, Cincinnati, Columbus, Lima and all points in between — having delivered as far away as Findlay and Upper Sandusky for events.

Busy Bouncing currently maintains a 2,500-square-foot warehouse in West Milton, but Love said he is in the market for more space and would like to find a facility about twice the size with high ceilings to allow the inflatables to be blown up for cleaning.

Rent A Jumpy’s sister company, Jumpy’s Fun Zone, an indoor inflatable and laser tag arena, will continue operations at 1528 W. Main St. in Troy.

PIQUA — The story begins with a teenager who seemed to have everything going for him. He was good academically and loved sports, particularly football. He was active and had a lot of friends. So when Jason Flatt committed suicide on July 16, 1997, at the age of sixteen, he left behind a devastated family wondering how they could have missed the signs?

“The good news is, in our three-county region, the youth numbers in suicide is low, we can even call it rare,” said Brad Reed, director of community resource development for the Tri-County Board of Recovery and Mental Health Services, as he introduced a program that will be available to area educators to spot the warning signs of suicide in young people.

So those like Jason Flatt who may be under the radar can be helped before it is too late.

“The rarity doesn’t speak to those who think about it, or take steps,” continued Reed, “What we are trying to do is cut it off as early as possible.”

According to Reed, the TriCounty Board role, while still a work-in-progress, is to publicize and incentive the Kognito At-Risk Interactive Online Gatekeeper Training program — available to those who work with youth, whether one is a teacher, counselor or coach.

Kognito is an online, interactive scenario-based suicide awareness training program.

“Basically, you role play. You have conversations with students. Then it comes back and quizzes you on what did you hear? How would you respond in this situation?” explained Reed, with the program offering tips, alternatives and the opportunity to learn to recognize the signs and act in a neutral environment.

“It’s really good training. I think they will find it interesting,” said Reed with the Tri-County Board using the incentive of a contest for what he hopes will be 100 percent See BOARD | 2

10 whales dead, dozens stranded in Everglades EVERGLADES NATIONAL PARK, Fla. (AP) — Wildlife workers in boats struggled Wednesday to coax nearly four dozen pilot whales out of dangerous shallow waters in Florida’s Everglades National Park, hoping to spare them the fate of 10 others that already have died.

Four of the whales had to be euthanized Wednesday, and six others already had died, said Blair Mase, the marine mammal stranding network coordinator for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. At least three could be seen on the

beach, out of the water.

Park spokeswoman Linda Friar said rescuers were trying to surround the whales with boats about 75 feet from shore and nudge them out of the roughly 3-foot-deep salt water back to sea.

“They are trying to herd the animals out to sea,” Friar said.

“They are not cooperating.”

Workers tried to nudge the whales out to sea a day earlier with no success. The whales are stranded in a remote area that takes more than an hour to reach by boat from the nearest boat

ramp.

“This scenario is very challenging because of where they are,” Mase said. Officials typically have access to heavy equipment to rescue stranded whales, but that isn’t an option where the whales are now.

Furthermore, the area is so shallow that it’s difficult to get the mammals enough water to propel them back to sea. A team of biologists was still assessing the whales Wednesday.

Officials don’t know how long the whales been stranded or how they got there. The whales usual-

ly swim together in large groups and tend to follow a dominant male leader, so it’s not uncommon for multiple whales to get stranded at once.

At least one other group of whales has stranded in the park in the past 10 years.

“It’s not uncommon,” Friar said. “But it’s not something that happens a lot.”

Mase said the whales are known to inhabit deep water, “so they are very out of their home range.”

Fed: US growth stays moderate during shutdown

compliance. The counties with the highest level of participation will win money for their school with those areas including teachers and school employees in Darke, Miami and Shelby counties, all in thanks to a $1,000 grant secured by the mental health services.

According to a press release from the TriCounty Board, the Ohio Suicide Prevention Foundation awarded the grant as part of Ohio’s Campaign for Hope — Youth Suicide Prevention Initiative. These funds are made available through a grant from the federal Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration as part of the Garrett Lee Smith Memorial Youth Suicide Prevention and Early Intervention Program.

The incentive program will be rolled out to the schools in early 2014 at no cost for accessing the Kognito training.

“All the schools have to do is commit some faculty training time such as a teacher work day,” Reed said.

Background In December 2012, the Ohio General Assembly passed and Governor John Kasich signed into law HB 543, the “Jason Flatt Act,” which requires school teachers, administrators and certain staff to be trained in suicide awareness. According to the Jason Foundation, suicide is the second most common cause of death among middle school and high school aged youth.

For more information about suicide prevention, please contact the Tri-County Board at its offices in Troy.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A Federal Reserve survey released Wednesday found that the U.S. economy held steady during the 16-day partial government shutdown, growing moderately in most regions from October through late November.

The Fed said seven of its 12 banking districts described growth as moderate. Four — Philadelphia, Chicago, Kansas City and San Francisco — said growth was modest. Boston said its regional economy continued to expand.

Manufacturing strengthened in most districts, helped by more production of cars, trucks and high-tech products. Consumers boosted spending in most regions, and retailers were hopeful yet cautious about the holiday shopping season. Hiring improved in five of the districts; the other seven reported little change.

The Beige Book survey, as it is known, is based on anecdotal reports from businesses and will be considered along with other data when the Fed meets next

on Dec. 17-18.

Many economists believe the Fed will make no changes to its interest-rate policies at that meeting. They expect the Fed will continue to buy $85 billion a month in bonds, which are intended to keep long-term interest rates low and encourage more borrowing and spending.

But some analysts think the central bank could start to reduce those purchases in December, especially if Friday’s report on November employment shows another strong month of hiring.

In June, Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke said the Fed could slow the purchases by the end of the year, if the economy and job market continued to improve. And minutes from the Fed’s October meeting noted that members expect data will show gains in the job market and would “thus warrant trimming the pace of purchases in coming months.”

Hiring has accelerated in recent months. The economy has added an average of 202,000 jobs

a month from August through October, up from an average of 146,000 from May through June.

At the same time, growth has picked up.

The economy expanded at a 2.8 percent annual rate in the JulySeptember quarter. But analysts expect growth to slow in the current quarter to about a 2 percent rate.

The Beige Book report noted that businesses saw mostly temporary impacts from the 16-day government shutdown in October. Some companies in Cleveland and Chicago reported heighted levels of uncertainty due to continued debate over the federal budget.

And tourist destinations in Boston, Richmond and Minneapolis reported lower traffic during that time.

In November, a measure of consumers’ confidence fell to the lowest level in seven months, a drop that came after a much bigger decline in October that was blamed in part on the government shutdown.

The declines in both months were driven by

falling expectations for hiring and the economy over the next six months.

Some economists also attributed the weakening confidence to Americans’ frustrations and worries about the implementation of the Obama administration’s health care reform.

Less optimism among Americans could slow the holiday shopping season and weigh on economic growth.

Consumer spending drives 70 percent of economic activity.

But Americans are still making big purchases.

November car sales rose 9 percent with sales running at an annual rate of 16.4 million, the best performance of the year, according to Autodata Corp.

Economists are hoping that steady hiring will boost confidence in the coming months. And lower gas prices could put more money in consumers’ pockets in time for the holidays.

Worlds From page 1 “The homes will be on the one acre up to two acre lots and people love that product,” Harlow said of the large lot areas.

A pond already exists on the property and Harlow also said the development would include an additional retention pond for water runoff.

In regards to traffic, Harlow said he believes traffic would be mini-

mal due to the main entrance proposed to be on DeWeese Rd. off of Troy-Urbana Rd. “There’s not anything like this to go to in Troy now,” Harlow said. Harlow said the Shenandoah neighborhood is the closest comparable lot size in the city today with its large lot sizes and wooded areas.

“It’s a very popular lot size and a great setting,” Harlow said. “This parcel has the pond and the woods and it’s close to town — it’s best of both worlds.”

Harlow said the custom homes would be approximately 2,000 square feet and up.

Harlow said the wooded lot would feature most of the homes on cul-desacs. Harlow said cul-desac lots in the subdivisions of Edgewater and other development sites are often the first to sell.

“It will be a beautiful subdivision,” Harlow said Wednesday. “The tract is a country setting with large lots and it will be connected with the city water and sewer system.”

Harlow also said the development would have a dedicated park land space.

“The demand for this type of home is what a lot of people are looking for here in Miami County,” Harlow said. “It’s a great big country setting with woods.”

Harlow said the price range would attract upper level management not only from Troy corporations such at UTC Aerospace, Honda and other manufactures, but also from the Miami Valley Region.

CITY AMENITIES WITH MIAMI EAST SCHOOLS On Wednesday, Dr. Todd Rappold, Miami East Local Schools’ superintendent said he plans to attend today’s meeting to get more information about the proposed development.

Rappold said during the district’s building process of its schools, it was one of the few districts in the area with increasing enrollment.

“We were one of the first districts at the time (of the school construction phase) that did not have a significant decrease in enrollment,” Rappold said.

Rappold said he could only think of 10 or so new homes being built within

lots of the proposed site.

Hunter’s Ridge, located on Troy-Urbana Road also is almost built out, according to Harlow.

Harlow said he bought the last seven lots in the plat available for its final phase of construction.

‘BEST OF BOTH WORLDS’ Harlow said the wooded acreage of the 126 acres provides a peaceful country setting.

the district in the last year, noting not all the new homes have children attending the Miami East School district.

Rappold said he just learned of the proposed rezoning in the last few weeks and plans to attend today’s meeting to learn more about the proposal of the housing development within the district.

Harlow said he estimates approximately 15 homes a year would be built over the proposed development phases up to six years.

Harlow said the new development would “meet growing demand” for the Miami East Local School District with the close proximity to the city of Troy.

“We are always getting calls from people looking to build in Miami East schools — all the time, every day,” Harlow said.

Harlow also added with the limited land tracts for sale, the rezoning of the property would help with the demand for new custom homes in the school district.

Harlow said with the exception of the Nottingham development, interested buyers do not have many options to build in the northeast part of Troy unless they find a 10 acre off site parcel outside of the city limits. Nottingham and Hunter’s Ridge are also in the Miami East Local

School district, but are within the city limits of Troy.

“Those are so hard to find out in the Miami East school district,” Harlow said. “Everybody wants to build out there but there aren’t the 10 acre tracts to build on.”

Harlow estimated he, personally, has built only six homes in two years on 10 acre lots in the Miami East Local School district area in the last two years.

According to Patrick Titterington, the rezoning ordinance of the property is within the city limits, although the property is in the Miami East Local School district boundary.

Titterington said the property, if developed, residents would pay all applicable city taxes and would have all city services such as water, sewer, police and fire and park and recreation privileges.

Titterington said instead of paying Troy City School applicable taxes, the resident would pay Miami East Local School taxes based on current property levies and the school’s earned income tax.

The law and ordinance committee will discuss the rezoning issue at 5:30 p.m. today at City Hall.

The meeting is open to the public.

Trustees review drug/alcohol policy Melanie Yingst

Staff Writer myingst@civitasmedia.com

CONCORD TWP. —Concord Township trustees reviewed its drug testing policy in reference to traffic incidents and accidents on Tuesday.

Fiscal officer Pat Quillen said the township’s insurance company only requires drug and alcohol testing for township employees if a driver is cited or there is a fatal accident involved.

That requirement is through the Ohio Department of Transportation for post accident drug and alcohol testing.

Township trustees also said they will be in the process of reviewing its employee handbook in regards to sick leave pay. Township officials said they need to review the handbook and rule out inconsistencies with its policy in regards to road superintendent Neil Rhoades’ retire/rehire contract from

2004. No action or decision was made.

All trustees agreed to review the policy and seek legal council from the township’s legal advisers.

Rhoades was not in attendance due to leaf pick in the township. One resident called township trustee Sue Campbell and asked when her neighborhood would expect township employees to pick up the leaves. Leaf pick-up will continue as long as the weather permits before equipment is changed for snow removal, according to township officials.

Concord Township Trustees also renewed its contract with a local farmer for its 10 acres of farmable property on State Route 718.

All trustees agreed to continue its contract with local farmer Larry Morrow.

The contract with the township was renewed for 2014 with a formal motion.

Dem vying for Ohio lt. gov vows to stay on ticket COLUMBUS (AP) — A Democrat vying to be Ohio’s lieutenant governor said Wednesday he will not allow roughly $700,000 in outstanding state and federal tax liens owed by him, his wife and their Cincinnati publishing business to derail his candidacy.

In a nearly two-hour media teleconference with reporters, state Sen. Eric Kearney discussed the debts that have complicated his party’s hopes of unseating Republican Gov. John Kasich next year.

Kearney said he was providing unprecedented amounts of information — including from personal tax

returns and the account books of KGL Media Group Inc., the company he owns with his wife, Jan-Michele — in order to openly address reporters’ questions.

“I view this as part of public life and I’m accepting of the questioning and of the amount of disclosure which we’ve done today,” he said. “No other candidate has ever had to provide this amount of information, and so I think that that says something.”

According to the spreadsheet Kearney released, KGL’s lien balance including penalties and interest is $561,068. He and his wife

owe federal liens associated with that debt of $83,074 and as much as $95,121 in state tax liens. The state figure is in dispute and may be lower.

Revelations about the liens have fueled a series of bruising news reports and editorials around the state, some calling for Kearney to step aside as running mate to Democrat Ed FitzGerald, the Cuyahoga County executive and a former FBI agent. Such a development wouldn’t be unprecedented; Ohio Republican Jim Petro selected a second running mate for his unsuccessful gubernatorial run in 2006 after the first dropped out.

The Columbus Dispatch, Dec. 2 Cuyahoga County Executive Ed FitzGerald would like to be governor, but his first major campaign decision is terribly flawed.

Of all the Democratic politicians in the state to choose as his running mate, FitzGerald picked one who not only owes hundreds of thousands of dollars in state and federal taxes, but has been less than transparent in publicly detailing those debts.

When state Sen. Eric Kearney of Cincinnati was announced as FitzGerald’s pick for lieutenant governor, the campaign acknowledged that Kearney and his wife, Jan-Michele Lemon Kearney, owe $84,000 to the Internal Revenue Service.

It didn’t mention that he also owes the state of Ohio — for which Kearney would like to be the No. 2 executive, influencing As As II tax policy among other things — more than $85,000….

returned to taxpayers should be fired. The arrogance and dishonesty of what happened demands it.

An investigation by the state Inspector General has revealed that at least since 1999, some businesses that overpaid taxes and requested refunds were not sent the money that was lawfully theirs. About $34 million being held by the tax department was identified as being in that category.

Some of the money has been refunded and more is being processed, tax Commissioner Joe Testa told a reporter. He added that his agency “had an obligation to return those overpayments” but did not.

Perhaps even worse, the department had a practice of not informing taxpayers of overpayments, according to the Inspector General. No one can say how much money was retained by the state because taxpayers were not even aware they had sent too much to Columbus….

The Inspector General’s office, having uncovered the scheme, should continue its investigation to find out how the system was put in place — and what tax department officials were responsible for it….

LETTERS To the Editor: On behalf of the Melody Men Chorus, I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate Troy Main Street and the city of Troy for a successful Hometown Holiday celebration and lighting of the Christmas tree. I would also like to extend special thanks to Karin Manovich who invited us to take part of the festivities that evening and to Mike Caldwell who provided an excellent sound system.

From our view, everything went very smoothly and as planned. This was the first time the Melody Men Chorus had

been invited to sing for this event, and we thoroughly enjoyed singing Christmas songs before the parade and after the lighting. We were also very impressed with the size of the crowd, especially the number of children that came out to celebrate that evening.

In the future, we would like to strengthen our relationship with Troy Main Street and the city of Troy by participating in more events. Once again, congratulations and thanks all around.

XXXXX IXXXXX need a vacation from my vacation Troy Troy Troy Troy Daily News Daily News

Miami Valley Sunday News

Here is the problem with going on vacation: You can take a vacation from work and you can take a vacation from school … but you can’t take a vacation away from your loved ones.

Trust me, I’ve tried.

This past week, I was fortunate enough to get some time off from work. I had my entire week’s schedule lined up, most of which consisted of important chores such as the following: sleep in late, wake up, eat Ramen noodles, watch football and “Beverly Hills, 90210” re-runs (Andrea Zuckerman is the entire reason I went into the newspaper business) and fall asleep wherever I happened to be laying down at 3 a.m.

Much like when I had the great idea to have a urinal installed in our home restroom, however, my wife had other plans.

For starters, she had actual chores she wanted me to accomplish, most of which were, technically speaking, beyond my “skill set.” She wanted me to do such high-level tasks as: laundry, dishes and something she described as

“picking things up off the floor and more often than not. putting them back where they actuNot only was I charged with ally belong.” accomplishing my wife’s seemingly Apparently, she must have endless list of back-breaking chores thought I would have a team (She wanted me to run the vacuof NASA scientists, the 2014 um, for crying out loud!), however, graduating class of the but I would also spend large Massachusetts XXXXX Institute of portions of my vacation with Technology and McGyver at the unenviable task of keepTroy Daily News Columnist my disposal.

likely will win me a father of the year award at some point. No sense in coddling the little tykes. It’s important to teach self-reliance. I hope my kids are ready to move out into their own apartment by the time they graduate … from the sixth grade.

Other than those delights, however, I suppose my week’s vacation was largely uneventful. Both of my children lived through the week under my car, I didn’t manage to set the dishwasher on fire and I managed to get a delicious dinner on the table for my wonderful wife every night when she came home from work (thank you, Tupperware, my mother and a microwave).

I can’t wait until I go on my next vacation here in a few weeks. I hope when I take my time off from work, I’ll be able to travel to someplace exotic.

And I hope my family stays at home with their chore lists while I’m gone.

This turkey salad is a delicious leftover meal It is Friday and everyone is home today.

Last Thursday was Thanksgiving Day. My sister Emma, her husband Jacob, and children, sisters Verena and Susan and daughter Elizabeth’s friend Timothy all joined us for Thanksgiving dinner. I put the turkeys in about 6 a.m. and they were ready by a little after 11 a.m. and we sat down for the meal at noon. We added an eightfoot table to our ten-foot kitchen table and put out 19 place settings. It would have 21 if daughter Susan and her friend Mose had been there.

But Susan went with her friend Mose to Charlotte to have Thanksgiving dinner with his family.

THE AMISH COOK

I prepared an 18-pound turkey and a 21-pound turkey but had a lot leftover.

On the menu besides turkey was mashed potatoes, gravy, dressing (which I had stuffed in both turkeys), mixed vegetables, corn, overnight salad, express salad, dill pick-

les, hot peppers, sliced cheese, homemade bread, butter, strawberry jam, cheese ball, and crackers, veggies and dip, pumpkin roll, angel food cake, homemade Reese’s bars, ice cream, pumpkin, pecan, and peanut butter pies. My sisters brought some of the food too so there was more than plenty. That means the next few meals should be easy.

The afternoon was spent playing various board games. The day went too fast. In the morning we cleaned everything up and the girls are doing laundry now. Joe and I plan to take our horse and buggy to town after I get this written. The boys are hauling manure out to the

fields. Hopefully everything will be done before noon so they can all have the afternoon free to do whatever they want. Joe ended up being off work all week from the factory and so did daughter Elizabeth.

This week went by way too fast. Thanksgiving Day is already passed.

Thanksgiving is a day to remember what many blessings we have, a time to sing praises unto the Lord thanking him for all he has done, a day to spend with family and friends and make new memories, a day to remember how blessed we are to have another bountiful harvest put up for the long cold winter. Do we appreciate our

blessings enough? How often we take for granted that we have plenty of food and a warm place to stay. A holiday such as Thanksgiving Day is a nice time to reflect on all of our blessings but let us also remember to thank God daily. I hope everyone had an enjoyable and safe holiday. May God bring many blessings to each of you readers. A thank you to all of you for your support through years of penning this column. A special thanks to Jean from Ohio (reader of the Times-Reporter in New Philadelphia) for sending daughter Susan the very nice wall-hanging. She loves the horse on there and it is already hanging in her bedroom.

She wants to send a personal thank you. May God bless you for such kindness.

Take comfort in country-style pork ribs By the Associated press

The aromatic flavors and wholesome ingredients found in comfort food can take us back to another place in time - a place that conjures up happy, feel-good memories, along with the completely satisfied feeling that comes after enjoying a hearty meal. But those same flavors and ingredients can also serve as a foundation for creating new, inspiring twists on traditional dishes from the past.

For James Beard Award winner, author and chef, Michelle Bernstein, the traditional dishes she remembers most vividly from her childhood include traditional American-style BBQ pork ribs and pork marinated in mojo - a simple, Latin-influenced sauce that varies in spiciness and typically includes citrus, garlic and cumin.

To honor these two favorite recipes from her past, chef Bernstein created a new, flavor-filled recipe that infuses classic country-style pork ribs with a zesty, savory mojo sauce.

“I knew there couldn’t be anything more perfect than marinating pork ribs in mojo - not just because the ingredients remind me of my heritage, but because ribs are so easy to make and so great to pair with different flavors,” said chef Bernstein. “After marinating them in the mojo sauce and grilling them for about 15 minutes, you’ll have incredibly tasty, tender and juicy ribs the whole family will love - and probably ask for again and again.”

For more modern interpretations of classic comfort food - as well as generations-old standbys from chef Bernstein and leading food bloggers, visit PorkBeinspired.com/ CookingForComfort to download the National Pork Board’s “Cooking For Comfort” free e-cookbook.

Recipe: Country-Style Pork Ribs with Mojo Ingredients: 12 cloves garlic, smashed About 2/3 cup canola oil 3 oranges 4 limes 3 tablespoons adobo sauce, from a can of chipotles in adobo 3 tablespoons packed brown sugar 3 tablespoons olive oil Leaves from 4 sprigs thyme 1 teaspoon ground cumin 1/2 teaspoon pepper 1/4 teaspoon ground coriander 2 pounds pork country-style ribs Preparation: In small saucepan over medium heat, combine garlic and enough canola oil to barely cover it.

Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cook until garlic is tender and lightly golden, about 5 minutes. Strain and set the garlic aside. Zest oranges and set zest aside. Juice oranges and limes. In jar of a blender, combine orange juice, lime juice, garlic, adobo sauce, brown sugar, olive oil, thyme, cumin, pepper and coriander and process to puree. Stir in zest. Transfer to large resealable bag and add pork. Set aside in refrigerator overnight. Prepare grill to medium heat and lightly oil grate. Remove pork from marinade and grill, turning occasionally, until ribs are tender. Remove ribs from grill and let rest three minutes. Yield six servings.

UN says widespread food aid cuts loom in Congo GENEVA (AP) — Food aid is being cut back in Congo due to lack of funding that could affect hundreds of thousands of hungry people, the World Food Program said earlier this week.

The U.N. agency says its $478 million plan to feed 4.2 million people in Congo through Dec. 2015 is only 25 percent funded, and without more money it won’t be able to help 300,000 internally displaced people in North Kivu province. The agency did not identify any countries or other donors that had failed to provide help for the program.

For the past six months, WFP has already been forced to cut by half its rations given to those people in North Kivu, one of the areas in eastern Congo with a myriad of armed groups blamed for killing and raping civilians.

Because of a lack of contributions to feed the country, the WFP “is being forced to start a significant down-scale of activities in the provinces of North Kivu, South Kivu, Equateur, Kasai and Orientale,” said agency spokeswoman Elisabeth Byrs, adding that the

cutbacks will affect school children, refugees and people in Food-for-Work programs.

The agency has been providing food to a half million people in North Kivu, including a third of the 900,000 displaced people in the entire province. Around Goma, the provincial capital, there are five makeshift camps with more than 150,000 displaced people.

Starting next month, though, WFP says its food stocks in Goma will be almost exhausted.

And because of the difficult logistics the next delivery of food, bought with a U.S. contribution of $30 million, will not be made until March or April 2014, One of every 10 children in the country already suffers from acute malnutrition, and 6.3 million of the country’s 66 million inhabitants face hunger and need food assistance, the agency said.

Byrs told reporters in Geneva the agency urgently needs $75 million to continue its plan, but without it some 500,000 people in North and South Kivu and Orientale provinces will be affected.

AP PHOTO Patrons eat at Capitol Burgers Oct. 24 in Los Angeles. Capitol Burgers, an old-school hamburger stand in a not-so-glitzy part of town, has been dishing out unadulterated burgers and fries since 1965.

For less than $5, visitors can drive away totally satisfied.

Good burgers Capitol Burgers a go-to spot in L.A. LOS ANGELES (AP) — There’s this weirdly unfounded reputation that just about everyone in Los Angeles is vegan and therefore sunbaked Angelenos only feast on the likes of kale and quinoa. Such a stereotype is antithetical to the City of Angels’ unhealthy obsession with the hamburger, an ongoing betweentwo-buns preoccupation that’s birthed hundreds of Southern California burger joints.

La La Land is now home to every imaginable make and model of burger, including the slick hipstery one at Father’s Office in Culver City and Santa Monica, a tonguein-cheek Asian-inspired burger at Spice Table downtown, the over-the-

top Hollywood rendition at 25 Degrees inside the historic Roosevelt Hotel, and the kitschy Umami Burger at the chain’s multiple locations.

While those are all great burgers — excellent, in some cases — they each seem unnecessarily complicated when compared to the must-eat classic served up at Capitol Burgers, an old-school hamburger stand in a not-so-glitzy part of town that’s been dishing out unadulterated yummy burgers and fries since 1965. For less than $5, visitors can drive away totally satisfied.

Before gourmet chefs slathered burgers with truffle aioli and In-N-Out Burger opened a gazillion outposts, Capitol owner George Stamos was craft-

ing burgers for folks their way, right away. Stamos died earlier this year, but his family has kept the griddle fired up in honor of their patriarch, who originally immigrated to the United States from Greece.

Capitol’s standard double is pure: a pair of thin, perfectly charred quarterpound patties topped with melted American cheese, an abundance of pickles and onions, thick slices of juicy tomatoes and a layer of crunchy iceberg lettuce. It comes on a spongy white toasted bun, wrapped in waxy paper and served on a makeshift tray crafted from an old cardboard beer box.

Capitol Burgers also serves other eats, too. The humongous servings of salty fries retain some of their skin and are equally delicious with or without a heaping helping of fresh chili. There’s milkshakes (chocolate, vanilla, strawberry or pineapple), as well as some out-of-thisworld pastrami and tamales. However, the burger is clearly the president of this Capitol.

Don’t expect an equally delicious setting though.

With jail-like bars covering the windows and only a few outdoor picnic tables underneath Capitol’s nowvintage sign, it’s not really worth lingering. For that, the itty-bitty 66-year-old Apple Pan on the other side of town offers more atmosphere with its burgers — and in-door places to sit — in the form of a U-shaped counter.

When it comes to taste, Capitol’s squishy burgers and flawlessly seasoned fries can’t be matched, and the line outside is usually shorter than the nearest In-N-Out. The eatery’s unrefined approach definitely makes for a refreshing escape in a town where phoniness reigns supreme, but it’s probably best not to overthink the experience. It’s just a really, really good burger.

Aunt Marsha Annie, I never intended to hurt knew about the visit, and I told her if her. It’s just how things worked out.

But she still hasn’t spoken to either my mother or me in six months. She ignores my mother’s calls, cards and attempts to reach out. It’s possible that when her current male companion is out of the picture, she will come running to us for support, as usual.

But in the meantime, what can I do to help my mother? She misses her best friend. -- Omaha, Neb. Dear Omaha: You actually owe Marsha an apology. You promised to include her, and then you didn’t, nor did you let her know. We realize it was your friend who changed the plans, but you still should have informed Marsha.

Instead, she felt excluded from your family. That said, she is being rather unforgiving and pigheaded about it. If you haven’t apologized, please do so.

The rest will simply have to run its course.

HARTFORD, Conn.

(AP) — As gunfire boomed over and over in the background, a janitor begged a 911 dispatcher to send help, saying, “There’s still shooting going on! Please!”

A woman breathlessly reported seeing a gunman run down a hall.

And a teacher said she was holed up in her classroom with her children but hadn’t yet locked the door.

Recordings of 911 calls from last year’s Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting were released Wednesday, and they not only paint a picture of anguish and tension inside the building, they also show Newtown dispatchers mobilizing help, reassuring callers and urging them to take cover.

“Keep everybody calm.

Keep everybody down.

Get everybody away from windows, OK?” one dispatcher told the frightened teacher who reported hearing shots in the hall.

The calls were made public under a court order after a lengthy effort by The Associated Press. Prosecutors had argued that releasing the recordings would only cause more anguish for the victims’ families.

The gunman, 20-yearold Adam Lanza, shot his way through a plate-glass window at the front of the school on Dec. 14.

The office staff saw the shooter, who was wearing a hat and sunglasses, as he entered the building with a rifle and began firing down a hallway.

One of the first callers to Newtown police was a woman who said in a trembling, out-ofbreath voice: “I think there’s somebody shooting in here at Sandy Hook school.”

Asked what made her think so, she said: “Because somebody’s got a gun. I caught a glimpse of somebody. They’re running down the hallway. Oh, they’re still running. They’re still shooting. Sandy Hook school, please.”

Another woman, who was shot in the foot, calmly reported that she was in a classroom with children and two other adults, but that there was no way to safely lock the door. The dispatcher told her to apply pressure to the wound.

“OK, are you OK right now?” the dispatcher asked.

The woman answered: “For now, hopefully.”

Another call came from a custodian, Rick Thorne, who said that a window at the front of the school was shattered and that he kept hearing shooting.

While on the line with Thorne, the dispatcher told somebody else: “Get everyone you can going down there.”

Thorne remained on the phone for several minutes.

“There’s still shooting going on! Please!” the custodian pleaded as six or seven shots could be heard in the background.

“Still, it’s still going on!”

Within 11 minutes of entering the school, Lanza had fatally shot 20 children and six educators with a semi-automatic rifle. Lanza also killed his mother in their Newtown home before driving to the school. He committed suicide as police closed in.

Newtown police officers arrived at the school within four minutes of the first 911 call, but nearly six more minutes passed

before they entered the building while they sorted out concerns over a possible second shooter, according to a prosecutor’s report issued last week.

It’s not clear whether the delay made a difference because Lanza killed himself one minute after the first officer arrived on the scene, according to the report.

In one of the recordings released Wednesday, dispatchers were heard making three calls to Connecticut state police that apparently rang unanswered.

But state police had already been dispatched to the school by the time those calls were made, according to a timeline and call log supplied by Newtown officials.

In all, seven recordings of landline calls from inside the school to Newtown police were posted Wednesday. Calls that were routed to state police are the subject of a separate, pending freedom of information request by the AP. “We all understand why some people have strong feelings about the release of these tapes. This was a horrible crime,” said Kathleen Carroll, AP executive editor and senior vice president.

“It’s important to remember, though, that 911 tapes, like other police documents, are public records. Reviewing them is a part of normal newsgathering in a responsible news organization.”

Christina Hassinger, the daughter of slain Sandy Hook principal Dawn Hochsprung, praised the efforts of Thorne and the teachers who protected their students.

“The ability of the Sandy Hook teachers to keep calm in order to reassure their students during the most frightening time of their young lives was amazing. My mom would be proud,” Hassinger said.

Teresa Rousseau, whose daughter Lauren was among the six educators killed, said she hadn’t listened to the tapes: “The way we keep our sanity is to start ignoring this stuff.”

Rousseau, an editor at the Danbury News-Times, said there was no need to play the tapes on the radio or television.

“I think there’s a big difference between secrecy and privacy,” she said.

“We have these laws so government isn’t secret, not so we’re invading victims’ privacy.”

On the day of the shooting, the AP requested 911 calls and police reports, as it and other news organizations routinely do in their newsgathering.

The prosecutor in charge of the Newtown investigation, State’s Attorney Stephen Sedensky III, argued that releasing the tapes could cause pain for the victims’ families, hurt the investigation, subject witnesses to harassment and violate the rights of survivors who deserve special protection as victims of child abuse.

A state judge dismissed those arguments last week.

Releasing the recordings will “allow the public to consider and weigh what improvements, if any, should be made to law enforcement’s response to such incidents,” Superior Court Judge Eliot Prescott said.

Three Buccs, Vikings and Cavs honored Staff Reports

He smashed plenty of offensive Covington High School records.

He led the Buccaneers to the regional semifinal round, and very nearly carried them past Marion Local for the first time in the team’s postseason history.

Now A.J. Ouellette has one more achievement to add to his collection.

Division VII All-Ohio Offensive Player of the Year.

Ouellette was one of three Buccaneers to earn All-Ohio honors Wednesday, and one of four co-Offensive Players of the Year, along with Berlin Center Western Reserve’s Nick Allison, Glouster Trimble’s Konner Standley and Delphos St. John’s Tyler Jettinghoff.

Ouellette, a senior running back, broke the career rushing and all-purpose yardage records at Covington this season and led the Buccs to an undefeated regular season and the Cross County Conference championship. But arguably his finest moment — and the biggest of his high school career — was his performance against Marion Local in the D-VII regional semifinal game. He rushed for 231 yards on 24 carries in the Buccs’ 35-28 loss.

Senior offensive lineman Jordan Wolfe earned a spot on the All-Ohio first team, while senior linebacker Dalton Bordelon earned a spot on the second team.

Lehman senior Drew Westerheide was an All-Ohio second team selection, while

Tippecanoe’s Carly Clodfelter brings the ball up the floor after a steal against Ben Logan Wednesday.

Understating the fact Devil ‘D’ dominant in 69-13 win

Josh Brown

Sports Editor jbrown@civitasmedia.com

TIPP CITY — Tippecanoe girls basketball coach Aaron Jackson may have understated it.

“Our defense was awesome tonight,” he said.

Yep. Understated.

The Red Devils held Ben Logan to only three attempts from the field in the first quarter, went on a 27-1 run in the second quarter, shut the Raiders out in the third quarter and forced 41 turnovers in the game, a 69-13 Tippecanoe victory Wednesday night at Pat Wampler Gymnasium.

Tippecanoe’s (2-1) defense — which produced 10 turnovers per quarter until forcing 11 in the fourth — turned into offense quickly, also, as the Red Devils used their speed in transition and unselfishness to turn in easy basket after easy basket. After an 11-0 run to start the game, the Devils scored 15 more unanswered until a Ben Logan free throw made it 26-3, and then they tacked on 12 more consecutive points before the Raiders finally connected from the field again with 2:00 left until halftime.

“We had 27 steals tonight, 12 offensive rebounds and 21 assists,” Jackson said. “Those are the hustle stats. Those See FACT | 12

COLUMBUS (AP) — LaQuinton Ross scored 17 of his 20 points in the first half, hitting his first four 3-pointers, to lead No. 5 Ohio State to an early lead and a 76-60 victory over Maryland on Wednesday night in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge.

Sam Thompson added 14 points, including four rim-rattling dunks, and Lenzelle Smith Jr. had 12. Aaron Craft created havoc on defense and chipped in with 10 points as the Buckeyes (7-0) controlled the game at both ends.

Ex-Xavier guard Dez Wells had 19 points, former Michigan swingman Evan Smotrycz scored 15 and Charles Mitchell added 12 points and 11 rebounds for Maryland (5-3), which had won four in a row after losing two of its first three.

This is Maryland’s last ACC/Big Ten Challenge — well, at least as an ACC team.

Next year, the Terrapins join the Buckeyes in the new 14-team Big Ten. Down by 17 at halftime, Maryland stayed within shouting range of the Buckeyes for part of the second half before Ohio State pulled away behind a 9-0 burst that pushed the lead to 70-45 with just over 6 minutes left.

The Terrapins have lost their last 13 road games against ranked opponents, while Ohio State has won its last 73 home games against unranked teams.

Both teams were coming off their best offensive games of the season. Maryland shot 62 percent from the field and had a season-best 26 assists, including six from freshman Roddy Peters, in an 89-62 win over Morgan State on Friday. The Buckeyes shot 69 percent — sixthbest in school history — in a 99-64 win over North Florida on Saturday.

Continuing that strong shooting, the Buckeyes made 60 percent of their shots from the field in the opening half Wednesday while building a 43-26 lead.

When they needed a bucket, they got it.

When the Terrapins strung together a couple of baskets, the Buckeyes responded defensively and slammed the door.

Ross was the difference early, making those first four shots from behind the arc. After Maryland became more aware of him on the perimeter, Thompson scored on two highflying, alley-oop dunks that shook the arena.

Behind Ross’ 12 points, the Buckeyes broke out to an 18-9 lead.

The Terrapins regrouped to trade baskets and pull to 27-20 before Thompson had five points and Ross the other three in an 8-0 run.

Hanging onto a 35-26 lead heading into the final 90 seconds of the half, Ohio State ran off eight more points in a row.

Craft, who had three steals and three assists in the opening 20 minutes, stole the ball in a scrum and passed out of it while on the floor in the final seconds. Thompson got the ball, spun in the lane on a breakaway and then banked in a layup just as the buzzer sounded.

Tippecanoe boasts plenty of depth this season David Fong

TIPP CITY — Tippecanoe wrestling coach Jordan Krebs may be facing a short-term problem — but he’s certainly not facing the same long-term problem as many other wrestling coaches in the area.

A deep playoff run by the Red Devil football team meant a late start for 10 of Tippecanoe’s wrestlers — but in the long run, there won’t be a numbers crunch for Krebs.

“We are pretty lucky — we’ve got a good relationship with (Tippecanoe football coach Charlie) Burgbacher;

he encourages his kids to go out for wrestling,” Krebs said.

“We’ve got 27 kids on our roster — up 10 from last year.

From 126 to heavyweight, we are two-, three- and four-deep in some weight classes. We’ve got good depth. We’ve been pretty successful the last three years and I think that has helped build our program.”

The Red Devils will be led by a pair of returning state alternates. Junior Austin Robbins and sophomore Jack Puera both narrowly missed qualifying for the state meet last year and will return this year with an eye on making See BOASTS | 12

are the numbers that show how much heart you’re putting into it. The girls were working hard on the defensive end, working hard to get open shots and working hard to get second chances.

“We shot 48 percent tonight, too. The kids were making the extra pass, and when we’re open, we’ve got good enough shooters to knock down those open looks.”

By the break, the Devils led 42-8. After the break, the Raiders (1-3) found even less success as Tippecanoe pitched a 17-0 shutout in the third quarter. The Raiders didn’t hit their first field goal of the second half until there was 3:12 on the clock in the fourth — and they only managed four field goals in the entire game.

Carly Clodfelter had 18 points, five rebounds and three assists and Halee Printz had 15 points, six rebounds and six assists to lead Tippecanoe.

Chelsea Clawson added eight points and Kelsey Wertz scored six off the bench in the fourth quarter.

No Raider scored more than three.

“Ben Logan had two losses coming into tonight, but they hadn’t been blown out like that,” Jackson said. “We looked good. This was a good night.”

Jenna Kaup led the Trojans with eight points and Zechariah Bond added six points and six rebounds.

“They jumped out on us and we turned it over against their press a little,” Troy coach Nathan Kopp said. “But we did a little better job of breaking the press in the second half. They’re the fourth-ranked team in the state. You never want to get blown out, but it is what it is. The girls gave good effort.”

it to Columbus. Robbins will wrestle at 160, while Puera will wrestle at 145 or 152 for Tippecanoe.

Tippecanoe also returns four district qualifiers from last season. Junior Gabe Callicoat will wrestle at 138 or 145, junior Shane Dodd will wrestle at 195 or 182, junior Brandon Arndtz will wrestle at 170 — although could be slowed early by off-season shoulder surgery — and sophomore Mitchell Pointer, a regional cross country champion, returns at 132.

The Red Devils also return a pair of district alternates in junior heavyweight Logan Ferrell and sophomore Jordan Brown, who will wrestle at 126.

Tippecanoe also could benefit from the addition of junior Cole Smith, who was a district qualifier at Covington two years ago.

He’ll wrestle somewhere between 145 and 160.

“We think things are going pretty good for us,” Krebs said. “We’re excited for the season.”
