TROY

SEMINOLE, Fla. (AP) — Eager to change the subject after a dismal jobs report, President Barack Obama tried to rekindle some of the enthusiasm of his 2008 campaign Saturday with a bus tour through a must-win swath of Florida, urging supporters not to “buy into the cynicism that somehow the change we fought for isn’t possible.” Republican candidate Mitt Romney faulted both his own party in Congress and Obama for exposing the armed forces to huge spending cuts.

Obama, speaking to a crowd of 11,000 at the Seminole campus of St. Petersburg College, gave Floridians a populist plea not to “turn away now.”

“If you give up the idea that your voice can make a difference,” Obama said, “then other folks are going to fill the void: the lobbyists, the special interests, the people who are writing $10 million checks, the folks who are trying to keep people from voting” and more.

Campaigning in a state where the 8.8 percent jobless rate tops the national average, the president made no mention of Friday’s government report showing a weak employment outlook for the nation. But he urged people to help him “finish what we started,”

Classic rock band Styx is scheduled to perform Oct. 13, followed

by Jake Owen and the CMT On Tour event Oct. 27, and ventriloquist Terry Fator on Dec. 14.

Turner made a big splash on the country music scene with his debut album on MCA Nashville with “Long Black Train.” The single by the same name got as high

as 13 on the Billboard country chart, and served notice that the singer with the deep, bass-heavy baritone was here to stay.

Turner’s success continued with his 2006 album “Your Man,” which delivered a pair of No. 1 hits that included the title song and “Would You Go With Me.” “Firecracker,” from Turner’s 2007 disc “Everything is Fine,” peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard country chart, but the South Carolina native returned to the top of the charts the following year when “Why Don’t We Just Dance” from his album “Haywire” soared to No. 1 in February 2010 and

and he put creating more jobs at the top of his to-do list.

The president called on people to rally behind “real, achievable goals that will lead to new jobs and more opportunity.�

Romney, campaigning in Virginia’s militarydependent tidewater area, was determined to keep the spotlight on the country’s weak jobs outlook, laid out in the latest Labor Department report on unemployment. It was the first topic he raised in an appearance before a flagwaving audience of 4,000 in a hanger at the private Military Aviation Museum, vintage aircraft on display around him. “This is not the kind of news that the American people are hoping for and deserve,� he said. Then he projected forward to a Romney presidency to add: “I’m here to tell you that things are about to get a lot better.�

Speaking in the Navy town of Virginia Beach, where many jobs are tied to defense, Romney criticized the president both for past cuts to military spending and “unthinkable� potential reductions

threatened under the socalled “sequestration.�

That’s a series of automatic, across-the-board cuts that will take effect if Congress doesn’t reach a budget solution in the next few months. Half of the cuts are set to come from the Pentagon under a deal negotiated between Obama and Republican leaders in Congress. “I think it was a mistake for Republicans to go along with it,� Romney said in an interview taped for Sunday’s broadcast of “Meet the Press� on NBC. On the stage, he’d only blamed the president for the defense cuts.

Obama has opposed the depth of the cuts but has said congressional Republicans need to adopt a plan that includes increases in revenue.

Romney called the potential cuts “unthinkable to Virginia, to our employment needs. But it’s also unthinkable to the ability and the commitment of America to maintain our liberty. ‌ If I’m president, we’ll get rid of the sequestration cuts and rebuild America’s military might.â€?

Romney and Obama are deadlocked in Virginia, where the Democrat is strong in the northern suburbs of Washington, D.C., and Romney does better in the south and rural areas.

In Florida, where the race also is extremely tight, the president’s twoday, 260-mile trip in a fortified, million-dollar bus is taking him though the center of the state along the politically important I-4 corridor that separates Democratic-leaning southern Florida from the Republican-leaning north.

The center swath from Tampa and St. Petersburg through Orlando and on to the Atlantic coast is considered the state’s swing region.

It’s Obama’s third campaign bus tour since July after earlier road trips in Ohio and Iowa. The buscapades attract significant media attention in the states and allow Obama to engage with local voters in unscheduled stops in the small towns that he can’t reach by only flying on Air Force One.

Attendance probe focusing on 100 schools DAYTON (AP) — A statewide investigation into whether schools manipulated their enrollment and attendance numbers in order boost their performance is focusing on 100 schools for now.

Investigators are concentrating on schools that have raised concerns based on data that shows they had a high number of student withdrawals,

the state auditor’s office said.

Removing poor students from the books can boost performance measures that determine government aid and employee bonuses and improve school performance rankings. Ohio has delayed its release of annual school report cards because of the investigation until the state can be sure the

underlying data is accurate.

Ohio Auditor David Yost launched a statewide probe after irregular enrollment and attendance practices were discovered in Columbus, Toledo and suburban Cincinnati districts.

State auditors have begun examining records in 100 schools — about 3 percent of Ohio’s 3,688 public schools.

EDITORIAL ROUNDUP Omaha (Neb.) World-Herald on national political conventions: OK, so it’s been a while since there was any real drama at a national political convention.

Back when, the Democrats could brawl for 16 days and 103 ballots (New York, 1924) in picking their nominee. Republicans (Chicago, 1912) could watch a slugfest between an incumbent president, William Howard Taft, and a former president, Theodore Roosevelt, that would leave the loser running anyway as a “Bull Moose.”

But lately? Modern conventions pretty much are scripted coronations for nominees chosen months earlier in primaries and caucuses. Even the announcement of a vice presidential choice comes well before the convention opens.

So the major television networks, which once aired the events almost gavel-to-gavel, have pulled back. ABC, CBS and NBC are promising only three hours of coverage spread over the four nights of each convention — Republicans in Tampa, Fla. and Democrats in Charlotte, N.C. But despite network TV’s shrinking interest, the 2012 conventions may be more accessible to interested voters than ever.

Newspapers will report on the events in detail, and there will be a new wave of live coverage utilizing the Internet, social media such as Facebook and Twitter, tablet computers and smartphones.

These conventions are an institution going back to the 1830s, yet many 21st-century Americans are still paying attention. For three convention nights over two weeks in 2008, more than 40 million people watched the speeches of Barack Obama, John McCain and Sarah Palin on television.

While it’s easy to poke fun, these quadrennial pep rallies remain more than a place to see donkey jewelry and elephant hats. …

The Jerusalem Post on the passing of Neil Armstrong: Whether you were a wide-eyed five-year-old, a self-absorbed teenager or world-wise adult, you’ll likely never forget the moment.

On July 20, 1969, Apollo 11 commander Neil Armstrong climbed down the ladder outside the lunar module, and with a little jump, became the first person to set foot on the moon.

Some 600 million people — a fifth of the world’s population — watched or listened to the moon landing, the largest audience for any single event in history. In a fast-forward world … amid the turmoil of Vietnam War protests and civil rights strife, and less than a month before the American counterculture peaked with a display of mass humanity at Woodstock, Armstrong and his crew — Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins — gave everyone pause.

The majesty, grandeur and awe of such an otherworldly event taking place in our lifetime immediately placed Armstrong in the annals of history. …

Armstrong never understood why so much attention was given to that first fateful footstep. Asked once how he felt knowing his footprints would likely stay on the moon’s surface for thousands of years, he answered, “I kind of hope that somebody goes up there one of these days and cleans them up.” …

Describing his impressions, Armstrong said, “It suddenly struck me that that tiny pea, pretty and blue, was the Earth. I put up my thumb and shut one eye, and my thumb blotted out the planet Earth. I didn’t feel like a giant. I felt very, very small.”

That dichotomy - man’s ability to use knowledge and technology to achieve unbelievable accomplishments while at the same time realizing that we really still don’t know very much about anything — may be the ultimate lesson that Armstrong leaves us with. That, and the need to dream.

THEY SAID IT “I realized I enjoyed working with the elementary aged students because I am really a kid at heart myself. I like to be goofy and have fun and I am looking forward to focusing on the foundation of music with the students and giving them that base knowledge to build on.”

— New Bethel Elementary School music teacher Laura Wolford “It’s a start, but it’s going to be very difficult for the officers.

It’s an unfair burden on officers to guess if it’s a primary stop or a secondary stop.”

— Miami County Sheriff’s Office Chief Deputy Dave Duchak, on Ohio’s new textingwhile-driving law “This is a zoning issue, and I believe B-1 is a better fit if you listen to all the testimony.”

— Troy Mayor Michael Beamish, on the proposed rezoning that would allow for the relocation of the St. Patrick Soup Kitchen

City of Heroes’ closure a crime against gamers I’ve talked a lot recently about gamers’ rights, particularly how the companies that make the video games are stripping them from the people who buy their games.

Nowhere is this practice more pronounced than the world of Massively Multiplayer Online games (MMOs).

And earlier this week came the most heinous example of how gamers’ money spent on MMOs goes to waste, as NCSoft announced that it would be shutting down its longrunning — and successful — superhero MMO City of Heroes, in addition to shuttering the studio that develops it, Paragon Studios, and laying off all of its workers.

Why does this matter? Because anyone who ever spent their hardearned cash to buy the game — and subsequently shelled out more and more money every month after that in subscription fees — will no longer be able to play it.

That’s right. They bought it, but they never truly owned it.

It’s a criminal business practice that, sadly, has become the norm in the gaming world.

For those who don’t know or aren’t familiar with the concept, when you buy an MMO, you’re not actually purchasing or taking owner-

and accept their very one-sided agreement so that your $60 wasn’t wasted before you ever get started, you create an account so that you can log into the company’s online servers to play the game. Never can you play offline by yourself. Again, you don’t own the game. You’re borrowing it. Or maybe “renting-to-(not ever)-own.”

And then, in addition to the “purJosh Brown chase” price of the game, you’re Sunday Columnist forced to pump out an additional $10-$20 per month in subscription ship of it. When you install the game fees, because the suits at the game’s publisher haven’t milked enough onto your PC and run the game for from you already. the first time, an “end user license The market is flooded with these agreement” pops up explaining to you that you didn’t actually buy the games — with World of Warcraft boasting the largest paying subgame itself, you merely bought a scriber base. But even its numbers “license” to borrow it and play it on the company’s servers for a bit. And, are dwindling thanks to the economic downturn of four years ago and its before you can ever even play the reverberating effects, and many game, you’re forced to accept this agreement. If you don’t, you’re kicked other games like Everquest, Everquest 2, Champions Online, out of the program, and every time Dungeons and Dragons Online and you try to re-enter, you’re denied the aforementioned City of Heroes access until you accept their agreehave been forced to adopt a “free-toment. play” model, where extra income for It’s the same as buying music or the company is based on microtransmovies on services like iTunes. And actions — which basically means you entertainment companies wonder don’t get the full game. You get bits why people pirate various forms of and pieces of it, and then you have to media.

ANYWAY. Once you finally relent pay small amounts of money to buy

additional things like levels, character classes or races, powers, abilities or equipment.

There’s still the option for gamers to voluntarily pay the full monthly subscription price for “V.I.P.” access — which basically gives them access to the full game still so they don’t lose any features. Some prize.

One way or another, the publishers are going to get your money.

And if one of the NINE MILLION unique players had subscribed to City of Heroes since it launched in 2004, that amounts to more than $1,000.

For a game they’ll soon not even be able to play anymore.

If that’s not theft on a massive level, I don’t know what is.

Still, if gamers want to avoid situations like this, first and foremost they need to vote with their wallets — and not give these publishers that money in the first place.

But they’re trying other avenues to keep their game — yes, their game — running. And I’ll talk about that next week.

TDN Sports Editor Josh Brown appears Sundays. Between “Everquest” and “World of Warcraft” in his 20s, he could be $1,300 richer.

But hindsight is 20-20.

Americans safer now Terror threat takes back seat to economy

In campaign, a battle over owning America’s story WASHINGTON (AP) — Over and over, they spun different versions of the same notion. We are telling America’s story, they said.

We are redefining, recapturing, reframing the American dream. A deep obsession with the story of America — who tells it and who gets to write its next chapter — was a rare piece of common ground that speakers at the Republican and Democratic conventions managed to share. “We are all here to reignite the American dream,� said House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi of California. “Our national story is one of confronting challenges,� said Gov. Brian Nevada Sandoval, a Republican. “Let me tell you my American story,� said Rep. Donna Edwards, D-Md. “We’re special because dreams that are impossible anywhere else come true here,� said Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla. Mitt Romney spoke passionately of “the essence of the American experience.�

Barack Obama talked emphatically of “the basic bargain at the heart of America’s story.�

So it went, with more than 150 mentions of America’s “story� or “dream� across the two conventions.

Why not? This is, after all, an entire nation founded upon a story of promise and prosperity, of exceptionalism and starting anew, a shared story that to some extent still holds America together and to some extent tears it apart.

A political convention is many things, and an explosion of storytelling is obviously one of them. But burrow deeper into the stories

and into the notion of political storytelling itself, and there are clues about how Americans see themselves and where they differ. “Storytelling forms the heart of political rhetoric,� says Curt Smith, who wrote many of the speeches that George H.W. Bush delivered while in the White House. “Ronald Reagan once told me, if you give someone 10 facts and one story and if the story is told well, it’s the story that you recall.�

In the past two weeks, we saw speaker after speaker use anecdotes that resonated. The story from Democratic Mayor Julian Castro of San Antonio was about his mother fighting hard for civil rights “so that instead of a mop, I could hold this microphone.�

Rubio spoke of his father, a banquet bartender, and said he embodied the American dream: “He stood behind a bar in the back of the room all those years, so one day I could stand behind a podium in the front of a room.�

Beyond the stories themselves, it was striking that many speakers acknowledged and articulated that they were in fact talking about stories and dreams. It was as if they were issuing a message to their constituencies and beyond: America is an epic story, and we must be the ones to define it. “It’s part of our cultural background, the American story is part of what makes us special. Whether it’s the bootstrap theory or Horatio Alger or the American dream, it is very real for many of us,� says Natalie Davis, who ran for the Senate in 1996 under the theme “The Promise of America.� “The story works, we can

connect to it. And it has strategic value for each party,� says Davis, now a political scientist at the Birmingham-Southern College in Alabama. “We have to have it. We’re not politically astute. We don’t understand the ins and outs of all this stuff. But we know there are words and phrases that ring bells to each of us.

And if you can weave those bells and whistles into the narrative, people will buy it.�

It’s hard to find another country whose destiny has been so wrapped up in story from the very beginning.

First it was “the shining city upon a hill.� Then it was “all men are created equal� and “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.� Each subsequent experience became another chapter.

There was the conquering of the frontier, the rise of industrialism, Ellis Island, the spread of the automobile and the roads that carried it, the emergence of America as a global leader, postwar suburbanization.

Hollywood only made this more intense, spending decades slickly packaging the American story for mass happy-ending consumption.

Now take all of that and pour it into a single vessel, the one containing the story of the American president (or candidate), who’s supposed to embody all the stories that make up our nation. Without mastery of that sensibility, the candidate falls short. Were Walter Mondale and Bob Dole unqualified to be president?

Probably not. But they had the great misfortune of colliding with two of the greatest American storytellers, Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton.

As a result, terrorism worries have taken a back seat to the nation’s economic woes.

Unlike previous elections, national security is not a big campaign issue this year.

Mitt Romney made no mention of terrorism or war during his acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention last week. Although public opposition to the war in Afghanistan has grown, it’s not a top dinner table topic for most Americans. “I would have said four years ago that the alQaida movement was emerging as a bigger problem, especially with the emergence of affiliates in places like Yemen and with the spike in homegrown attacks,� said Phil Mudd, a senior counterterrorism official at the CIA and FBI during the Bush and Obama administrations. “

San Antonio Mayor Julian Castro addresses the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, N.C., Sept. 4. A deep obsession with the story of America, who tells it, and who gets to write its next chapter, was a rare piece of common ground of speakers at both the Republican and Democratic conventions. Castro’s story was about his mother fighting hard for civil rights “so that instead of a mop, I could hold this microphone.�

WASHINGTON (AP) — As Americans debate whether they are better off now than they were four years ago, there is a similar question with a somewhat easier answer: Are you safer now than you were when President Barack Obama took office?

By most measures, the answer is yes.

More than a decade after terrorists slammed planes into the World Trade Center in New York, the Pentagon and the Pennsylvania countryside, Americans have stopped fretting daily about a possible attack or stockpiling duct tape and water.

Getting through airport security has become a routine irritation, not a grim foreboding.

While the threat of a terrorist attack has not disappeared, the combined military, intelligence, diplomatic and financial efforts to hobble al-Qaida and its affiliates have escalated over the past four years and paid off.

Terrorist leaders, including Osama bin Laden, are dead and their networks in Pakistan, Yemen and Somalia disrupted.

In some cases, the Obama White House simply continued or intensified programs and policies begun by the Republican administration of President George W. Bush.

But Obama pursued a more aggressive drone campaign to target terrorist leaders, broadening efforts to help at-risk nations bolster their own defenses, and put in place plans to end the war in Iraq and bring troops out of Afghanistan.

Purdue archives keeps Armstrong’s story alive WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. (AP) — The death of Neil Armstrong has reignited interest in the life of the first man to walk on the moon from his words to papers.

The Purdue University archive that houses personal items from Armstrong, and other astronauts, is fielding more requests since his Aug. 25 death at age 82.

Tracy Grimm, who oversees the Flight and Space Exploration Archives, said the Discovery Channel wanted access to interviews between Armstrong and James R. Hansen, author of the 2005 biography “First Man: The Life of Neil A. Armstrong,” for a program.

Hansen donated 22 microcassettes worth of interviews conducted for the book.

“Part of the goal of the Flight and Space Exploration Archives is to be accessible to the public, or anyone really,” Grimm told the Journal & Courier (http://on.jconline.com/UA9 ajb ). “The transcriptions of the Hansen interviews were on 3.5 floppy discs remember those? So we had to find a machine to convert the discs. We had to find a machine to transfer the microcassettes.”

Using Hansen’s notes the interviews, about archive employees were able to locate the subjects

Kirsten South looks at the Neil Armstrong statue that is covered with flower, signs and candles outside of the Neil Armstrong Hall of Engineering, Aug. 26, on the campus of Purdue University in West Lafayette, Ind. Armstrong, the first man to walk on the moon and who died Aug. 25, is a graduate of the university. the producers were interested in. The hour-long program, “Neil Armstrong: The Legacy,” premiered on Aug. 30.

Grimm said the request prompted the archive to start the process of transferring dozens of hours of Armstrong interviews into a digital form.

Armstrong earned a bachelor’s degree in aeronautical engineering from Purdue in 1955. He was

awarded an honorary doctorate in engineering from Purdue in 1970. As commander of Apollo 11, Armstrong became the first man to walk on the moon after the lunar landing on July 20, 1969.

In 2009 Armstrong donated boxes of papers to Purdue Libraries’ Division of Archives and Special Collections, part of the Virginia Kelly Karnes Archives and Special

Collections Research Center. In those boxes were personal correspondence, mostly letters to Armstrong requesting autographs or appearances, plus boxes of books from his library, NASA handbooks, flight checklists for various missions, and documents related to NASA studies he conducted.

In time, more from the Armstrong estate is expected.

They’ve been welcoming guests ever since. At the birthday celebration, there was cake and ice cream in the parlor. Period games for children were scattered around the grounds, and there were living history exhibits to interest the adults.

The castle was built with limestone from a nearby quarry, and its intricate and detailed woodworking was carved from trees cut from the Piatt grounds. Though the craftsmanship remains stunning, Kate PiattEckert acknowledged that the home could use a facelift.

The family’s nonprofit Mac-A-Cheek Foundation for the Humanities raises money for the programming that takes place, but upkeep is another matter.

“There are no grants to pay for plumbing, no charitable gifts that pay for caulk,” said Piatt-Eckert, of the seventh generation to care for the land. “We would like to do more to preserve the buildings, but our mission is and always

Some of the visitors, such as Heather KeirnSwanson, know the castle well. Her father was a summer groundskeeper there more than 20 years ago, and she was married in the drawing room in 1999. She hadn’t been back since and came all the way from near Cleveland to take a look.

“It was grand then, and it’s grand now,” KeirnSwanson said. “It always amazed me that this wonderful place was in the middle of rural Ohio.”

Others, such as Candice Carper, lived nearly in the shadow of the castle their whole lives yet had never been inside. Carper and her two young daughters toured the house recently.

Dovelyn Godsey, who is almost 3, told her mom she wanted to see where the princesses live.

Dovelyn might have been the only visitor who left disappointed for, despite the building’s grandeur, there was not a princess in sight.

Survivors of wrong-way crash continue healing BOWLING GREEN, (AP) — Two college students are back in classes and working to heal physically and emotionally six months after they were hurt in a crash that killed three of their sorority sisters and the wrong-way driver who caused the accident.

Kayla Somoles and Angelica Mormile were hospitalized for months after the March 2 crash, when a driver traveling the wrong way on Interstate 75 in northwest Ohio slammed head-on into the car carrying the five sorority sisters who were driving to Detroit to catch a flight for spring break.

The State Highway Patrol was unable to determine why 69-year-old Winfred Lein was going the wrong way. An autopsy showed that there were no drugs or alcohol in her system. Lein died in the crash that also took the lives of Alpha Xi Delta sorority sisters: Rebekah Blakkolb, 20, of Aurora; Sarah Hammond, 21, of Yellow Springs; and Christina Goyett, 19, of Bay City, Mich.

While Mormile and Somoles survived, there was doubt that they would be able to recover enough from their extensive injuries to

return to the university.

Somoles, 20, had every bone in her face broken, including her lower jaw, which was shattered into 10 pieces.

“They said I was lucky to be alive,” Somoles told The (Bowling Green) SentinelTribune. “I’m here, so that’s all that matters.”

The junior from Cleveland also had other bones broken and was on a ventilator for days.

Mormile, a 19-year-old sophomore from the Cleveland suburb of Garfield Heights, was left with a brain injury and a broken neck, jaw, wrist and leg and couldn’t eat for two months.

Her family fed her through a syringe.

Neither remembers the accident although Somoles has vague recollections of being in the sorority house and loading up the car for the trip. Mormile doesn’t remember any of that.

Both young women were determined to return to school.

Somoles worked with professors to finish her spring classes online during the summer. Mormile’s brain injury prevented her from completing her spring classes, but she returned in August for the fall semester.

Mac-A-Cheek opened to public tours in 1912 hence, the 100-year celebration.

Tour guide Cody Peterson told visitors that the castle was reluctantly opened only after Abram’s son, William, moved in.

“William didn’t like to be bothered, but people kept coming around and asking to look inside,” Peterson said. “So William started charging admission to scare people off. His plan backfired because people came along and paid it.

WEST LIBERTY (AP) — Like a little old lady whose face powder can no longer hide her wrinkles, Mac-A-Cheek Castle is showing her age.

Hundreds of people who visited the castle for a birthday celebration recently didn’t much care.

They overlooked the broken windows, the chipped limestone and the peeling paint.

The Gothic-style, turreted mansion nestled in the hills of Logan County was built in 1871 by Abram Sanders Piatt, a Union Army officer during the Civil War and a wealthy

Mannion connected with Brandin Cooks on a 20-yard touchdown on the opening drive of the second half to give the Beavers a 10-0 lead then turned it over to the Oregon State (1-0) defense that forced two turnovers and held Ball to 61 yards rushing.

TROY — When Troy won the Troy Invitational two years ago, coach Michelle Owen didn’t get to experience it because she was on leave.

But that changed Saturday as the Trojans captured the Troy Invitational title, defeating Graham, Kenton Ridge and Springfield Shawnee to accomplish the feat.

So long as the results turn out like they did Saturday afternoon, Devin Blakely would just as soon play all Troy’s games at Ferguson Field.

“Haha — I guess we still haven’t won in (Troy Memorial) Stadium yet,” said Blakely, a senior defensive TROY back on the Troy football team whose third-quarter inteception led to a game-clinching touchdown in the Trojans’ 14-6 win over Xenia Saturday afternoon.

It’s Miller time OSU QB scores 3 TDs in Buckeyes win COLUMBUS (AP) — Urban Meyer has a decidedly imperfect team with a perfect record.

Braxton Miller became the first Ohio State quarterback to rush for three touchdowns in 34 years and he passed for another score to lead the 14th-ranked Buckeyes to a 31-16 victory over Central Florida on Saturday.

“We’re not where I thought we’d be,” he said of the Buckeyes’ progress through two lopsided wins in which they’ve manhandled teams by a combined score of 87-26.

In rapid succession, Meyer also said enough to depress any scarlet-and-gray clad fan.

“In pass defense we have a long way to go and in getting pressure on the quarterback,” he said.

Buckeyes ■ CONTINUED FROM A8 He added, “Offensively we’re down to our third tailback and it looks like it. We have to get better. The guys carrying the ball are talented just terrible mistakes.”

One thing he doesn’t have to worry about is Miller’s production.

A week after setting a school record for quarterbacks with 161 rushing yards in a 56-10 win over Miami (Ohio), Miller finished with 141 yards on 27 carries. His number kept coming up after starting running back Carlos Hyde left with a first-half knee injury.

Miller hit on 18 of 24 passes for 155 yards no completion going for more than 15 yards with one interception.

“Everything they talk about Braxton Miller is accurate,” UCF coach George O’Leary said. “He can make you look very foolish. At times he did with our team.”

The 27 carries were a career high for the sophomore. No other Buckeye had more than seven attempts.

“Carlos went down so I had to help out with the running to get that going,” Miller said.

Of course, Meyer was none too happy that his top player, who he said ran it too much a week ago when he had 17 attempts, is getting hit so often. At the

same time, Meyer believes using Miller was the only way to beat UCF. “We have to find a way to win that game,” Meyer said.

“And I’m open for any suggestions.”

After a delay, he laughed and added, “Not really.”

Miller said his arm was sore and his muscles ached a lot more than after the opener.

“I wasn’t as sore as I am right now but there’s a big gap between 27 and 17 (carries),” he said.

The last Ohio State quarterback to rush for three touchdowns in a game was Art Schlichter against Illinois in 1978.

Ahead by a tenuous seven points at the start of the second half, the Buckeyes put the game out

of reach with big contributions from Miller and the defense.

Miller was at the controls as the Buckeyes took the kickoff and rolled 76 yards in 12 plays. At the UCF 12, he looked right, then rolled left before lobbing a pass barely over the outstretched arm of cornerback Jordan Ozerities to Stoneburner in the end zone.

After the extra-point and kickoff, UCF’s Blake Bortles threw a ball up for grabs that was picked off by linebacker Etienne Sabino at the Knights’ 32.

Miller took over from there. He ran for nine yards, passed to Devin Smith for 15 and then covered the last eight yards behind fullback Zach Boren.

Beavers stun Badgers

Wright, Smith help Bluffton past Kenyon

No. 1 Crimson Tide rolls to 35-0 win over W. Kentucky CORVALLIS, Ore. (AP) — Sean Mannion threw for 276 yards and a touchdown, Oregon State’s defense smothered Wisconsin’s Montee Ball and the Beavers upset the No. 13 Badgers.

Mannion connected with Brandin Cooks on a 20-yard touchdown on the opening drive of the second half to give the Beavers a 10-0 lead then turned it over to the Oregon State (1-0) defense that forced two turnovers and held Ball to 61 yards rushing.

The win snapped Wisconsin’s 33-game nonconference winning streak, the second-longest in the country behind LSU. Wisconsin finished with 207 yards and only 35 on the ground. It was the lowest total yards for Wisconsin in five years.

The previous non-conference loss for Wisconsin (11) came early in the 2003 season when the Badgers lost to UNLV. It took 41 years for a Big Ten team to visit Corvallis after Iowa was handed a 33-19 loss in 1971. With this kind of reception from the Beavers, it might be 41 more.

No. 1 Alabama 35, W. Kentucky 0 TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — AJ McCarron passed for 219 yards and matched his career high with four touchdown passes to lead No. 1 Alabama to a 35-0 win over Western Kentucky on Saturday.

McCarron had two scoring tosses apiece to Christion Jones and Kevin Norwood in a performance that was more about big plays than consistent, muscle-flexing dominance for the top-ranked Crimson Tide (2-0). The Hilltoppers (1-1) were 40-point underdogs and the sandwich opponent between top 10 opponents Michigan and No. 8 Arkansas.

No. 2 USC 42, Syracuse 29 EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Matt Barkley matched a school record with six touchdown passes, and Robert Woods was spectacular with 200 allpurpose yards and two scores.

The rare trip to the Northeast for the Trojans was choppy at times, and Syracuse’s hurry-up offense kept USC working hard for four quarters at MetLife Stadium, the home of the Giants and Jets.

No. 9 S. Carolina 48, East Carolina 10 COLUMBIA, S.C. — Dylan Thompson completed 21 of 37 passes for 330 yards and three touchdowns.

Thompson started the game in place of the injured Connor Shaw, and left little doubt coach Steve Spurrier made the right choice to let Shaw rest.

The Troy product threw a 43-yard TD early in the second. Troy graduate Nick Smith was also a big part of the Bluffton defense, credditted with two solo tackles and four assists.

Bluffton is now 2-0 on the season.

Urbana 34, Seton Hill 31 URBANA — Twice in the season’s first two weeks, Urbana University has watched a huge lead evaporate in the second half. Tusculum turned a 340 deficit into a one-score game late in Week 1, and on Saturday, visiting Seton Hill shrank a 21-0 deficit to just three points in the fourth quarter before the Blue Knights pulled out their second straight victory. As the final horn sounded, Urbana clung to a 34-31 win over the Griffins.

Dating back to last season, the victory is the eighth straight by the Blue Knights (2-0), which extends the school record.

Saturday’s three-point margin of victory is the slimmest during Urbana’s streak.

D.J. Mendenhall was 20 for 34 for 293 yards and four touchdowns to lead the Urbana offense, with Joe Webb catching seven passes for 149 yards and two scores. David Hill led the rushing attack with 82 yards and a touchdown on 19 carries.

Milton-Union High School graduate Kurt Brackman was 5 for 5 on extra points on the day.

Duquesne 17, Dayton 7 PITTSBURG, Pa. — Sean Patterson threw a touchdown in the fourth quarter and Larry McCoy rushed for another in Duquesne’s 17-7 come from behind win against Dayton on Saturday in a Northeast Conference game.

Patterson, who threw for 187 yards on 18-of-26 passing, connected with Gianni Carter on an 18yard strike to give the

Dukes (1-1) a 10-7 lead.

On Duquesne’s next possession, McCoy capped off a 9-play drive with a with a 7-yard touchdown to put the game away for good. The junior running back recorded 46 of the Duke’s 80 yards on the drive.

Dayton (0-2) has lost five of its last six matchups against Duquesne. Will Bardo led Dayton with 232 yards passing. Lehman High School graduate Dan Jacob led the Flyers in rushing with 58 yards on 17 carries, and he also had two receptions for 22 yards.

Miami (OH) 30, S. Illinois 14 OXFORD — Zac Dysert passed for 226 yards and a touchdown and two Pat Hinkel interceptions led to Miami (Ohio) scores as the RedHawks defeated Southern Illinois 30-14 Saturday.

Dysert, who completed 28 of 36 with no interceptions, started the scoring for Miami (1-1) with his 50th career touchdown pass, a 10-yarder to Andy Cruse in the first quarter.

Cruse caught a career-high 12 passes for 60 yards.

The Salukis (0-2) answered by driving 71 yards in 10 plays, scoring on Mika’il McCall’s 1-yard run. But on their next possession, Hinkel intercepted Kory Faulkner’s pass at the SIU 24 and returned it for a touchdown and a 14-7 Miami lead.

After the RedHawks added a third-quarter field goal, Hinkel intercepted Faulkner again to put Miami at the SIU 27. A defensive holding penalty moved the ball to the 12 and Jamire Westbrook ran it in to make it 24-7 after three quarters.

Toledo 34, Wyoming 31 LARAMIE, Wyo. — Terrance Owens passed for 300 yards and four touchdowns, leading Toledo over Wyoming 34-31 Saturday.

Toledo’s defense, which ranked No. 3 in the nation in turnover margin in 2011, converted three Wyoming turnovers into 17 points.

The Rockets’ offense had no turnovers.

CASSTOWN — Going against Miami East was weird feeling for Troy Christian girls soccer coach Brian Peters since he has coached players on both teams for several years now.

“I coach four or five of the girls (on Miami East),” Peters said. “I’ve coached all of those girls on our club team since they were kids. It’s like coaching against your own daughter. This game is like Michigan-Ohio State game for these girls.”

In a battle between two of the great area programs, the Eagles — which had their season end in a district final loss last season — got a goal from Jordanne Varvel with 13 minutes remaining in the second half to hold off the Vikings for a 1-0 victory on Saturday.

On that scoring sequence, the ball was chased down in East’s deep corner by Lauren Peters, then sent to right back Taylor Curtis, who crossed the ball to the far post, where Varvel leaped up between defenders and headed the ball into the net for the lone goal of the game.

“For a girls team, that (goal) was impressive,” Peters said. “It was won of those 50-50 balls that was defended well, but Jordanne went up and got it. It was a great goal.”

Troy Christian (4-0-0) is back in action Monday at Dayton Christian.

When the second half

began, the Vikings came out strong with both teams fighting to the end. But on an indirect free kick for the Eagles, Chris Dickens put in a nice header at 2:12 left in the half, sealing the win for Troy. goalkeeper, Viking Michael Harmon, had 21 saves on the night.

“Our forwards played an intense game and gave Troy Christian’s defense fits,” Miami East coach Adam Bell said. “We need to work on mental toughness at the end because crucial mistakes made the difference.”

Miami East will be back in action Thursday, hosting Tri-County North at 7:15 P.M. Oakwood 1, Tippecanoe 0 OAKWOOD — Tippecanoe missed opportunities in a 1-0 loss to Oakwood on Saturday.

The lone goal of the game came on a header with 15 minutes left in the game.

“Neither team had that many shots. We had a few missed chances, a couple shots go wide.”

■ High School Football SATURDAY ROUNDUP

Covington Routs Bethel COVINGTON — Covington started strong on Friday night.

Then the Buccs finished even stronger on Saturday night.

After building a 20-0 lead in the first quarter Friday, the Buccs handed the Bethel Bees a 55-0 loss, improving to 2-0 in the Cross County Conference. The loss drops the Bees to 1-2.

Troy Cron launched the scoring on Friday with a 99yard kick off return, then Trent Tobias added to that lead with two scoring runs of 52 and 34 yards. On Saturday, A.J. Ouelette took an 80-yard punt return to the house, then added touchdown runs of one yard and 19 yards. Kyler Deeter added a 7-yard touchdown run.

Chance Setters also had a 49-yard TD run.

Covington has a big CCC showdown at Bradford next Friday, while Bethel has TriCounty North at home.

Vikings Top Trojans CASSTOWN — The Miami East Vikings may have struggled against Milton-Union in the season opener, but they appear to have turned things around.

Now, after a 37-0 victory over Arcanum in their home opener, the key for the Vikings is continuing to build momentum heading into the meat of its schedule.

“We’ve got a meat grinder in the middle of the season with Bethel, Covington, TriCounty North and Bradford all right in a row,” Miami East coach Max Current said. “Hopefully we can be peaking at the right time.”

If the Vikings’ peak is still to come, opposing teams

Already up 7-0, Michael Fellers ran a punt back for a touchdown to give the Vikings some breathing room.

And right before the half, the Trojan punter missed his kick, giving the Vikings prime field position — which they made short work of.

score, then their punter whiffed on a kick right before halftime, and we got it inside the 10 and put it on the board right before the half.”

Miami East’s lone score of the second half came on defense, when Robbie Adams sacked the Arcanum quarterback and forced a fumble, which Alex Brewer scooped up and took in 15 yards for a score.

“We did a really nice job on special teams tonight, and of course our defense did a nice job in getting the shutout and scoring for us,” Current said.

Now Miami East returns to the road — where it will have played three of its first four games.

“We’re taking it one game at a time. Now we’’ve got to get ready for Mississinawa Valley,” Current said.

Bradford Stays Unbeaten

Piqua Finishes Off Lima Senior

NEW PARIS — Bradford’s defense grinded out a win against Bethel last weekend.

This week, though, the Railroaders had to rely heavily on their offense.

Either way, the Railroaders are now 3-0 on the season, taking down Cross County Conference rival National Trail by a score of 61-41 on Saturday night.

Corey Rench had one touchdown, Jacob Cline had another — and James Canan had the rest, finishing the game with a ridiculous 455 yards rushing.

Bradford will truly put its unbeaten record to the test in Week 4, returning home to Bradford to take on rival Covington, the defending CCC champion.

LIMA — After building a 27-7 lead on Lima Senior Friday, Piqua completed a 35-7 romp on Saturday.

The Indians have now won two straight games after losing a tough one to Elida to kick off the season.

Tate Honeycutt caught a 48-yard touchdown pass from Justice Young, then Luke Karn grabbed an 8-yard score from Young. Honeycutt added a 69-yard touchdown reception from Young, and Ryan Hughes scored on a 33yard touchdown run.

At halftime Honeycutt had three grabs for 137 yards.

Lima Senior, which fell to 0-3, scored its only points on a 55-yard interception return.

Tippecanoe’s Jacob Cox (55) blocks a field goal attempt by Milton-Union’s Nick Fields on the final play of the first half Saturday at Tipp City Park.

Tipp-MU ■ CONTINUED FROM A8 bitter inter-county rivalry.

With the score still tied 0-0 with six minutes left in the third, Milton-Union’s London Cowan rolled out and fired to an open receiver, but the ball was high and slipped through his fingers — and right into the waiting Ervin’s hands, giving the Devils (3-0) the ball on their own 46-yard line.

“I knew the way the ball was thrown that it would tip out of his hands,” Ervin said. “That’s experience.”

Cameron Johnson then broke off a 23-yard run, and the Bulldogs (2-1) looked demoralized. Three plays later on third and inches, Jacob Hall took a handoff up the middle, slipped one tackle and went 21 yards for the game’s first score with 4:40 left in the third.

“That (Ervin’s interception) gave us good field position. It gave us the ball in a good spot, and we took advantage of that opportunity,” Tippecanoe coach Charlie Burgbacher said.

“We missed some of those in the first half. But once we got that first score on the board, it took a big monkey off our back.”

Freed from that monkey, the Devils went to work.

After the defense forced a three-and-out, Tippecanoe went on a lengthy 12-play, 83-yard drive that killed the rest of the third quarter.

And with 10:53 left in the game, Hall broke the plane again on a 2-yard dive to make it a 13-0 game.

The Bulldog defense — which had played outstanding to that point — simply had nothing left in the fourth quarter, surrendering two more quick scores.

After a Ben Hughes punt died on the Milton-Union 5yard line and the Bulldogs went three-and-out again, Johnson broke the first play from scrimmage for a 38yard touchdown run. And after another tipped-ball interception by Sean Ford, Johnson broke a 30-yarder on a similar play, setting up another 2-yard score by Hall that made it 27-0 with 2:27 to play.

All told, Tippecanoe ran 40 offensive plays in the second half to MiltonUnion’s 19 and recorded 15 first downs to the Bulldogs’

Tippecanoe’s Jacob Hall slips through a tackle Saturday night against Milton-Union. two — which didn’t come until Milton-Union’s final possession of the game with 1:52 left.

“Our offense just couldn’t find its rhythm,” Milton-Union coach Bret Pearce said. “We didn’t have any long drives, so the defense spent more and more time on the field. In the end, they just wore us down.”

Tippecanoe piled up 407 rushing yards in the game — 268 in the second half.

Hall finished with 182 yards and three touchdowns on 26 carries, while Johnson added 163 yards — 156 of it in the second half — and a score on 15 carries.

“We’re not one-dimensional. We have more than one person that we can pound it with,” Burgbacher said. “Each one of our backs had a moment tonight, a big play. We can hit it outside or we can hit it inside, which makes it hard to take something away from us.”

Meanwhile, the Tippecanoe defense held the Bulldogs in check, allowing only 123 total yards in the game — 63 rushing and 60 passing.

Still, Milton-Union stood tough in the first half — and even had two quality chances to take the lead.

After stuffing Tippecanoe on fourth-and20, forcing the punter to pull down the ball and run or it would have surely been blocked, the Bulldogs took over on the Devils’ 13.

Faced with fourth-and-2 from the 5, they lined up for a field goal, and Tippecanoe called timeout to ice kicker Nick Fields.

Coming out of the timeout, though, Milton-Union lined up in an offensive formation, trying to catch the Devils sleeping and get the first down. The Devils sniffed it out, though, stuffing the play for a three-yard loss.

Milton-Union then had its longest drive of the game — nine plays — right before the half, setting Fields up for another shot at a 35yarder with 2.4 seconds on the clock. But Jacob Cox burst through the middle of the line and blocked the kick, and the game remained scoreless at the half.

“Our opportunities came in the second quarter, and we weren’t able to capitalize,” Pearce said. “Tipp had its chance in the third, and it did.”

All because of a veteran player making an experienced play.

■ CONTINUED FROM A8 where we play — we just want to win.”

The Trojans were forced out of their traditional home when lightning storms rolled through Friday night, postponing the game until Saturday. Troy Memorial Stadium already was slated to host a band competition, forcing a move to Ferguson Field. On a field usually reserved for junior varsity, freshman and junior high school football games — Ferguson Field seats several hundred fans, while Troy Memorial Stadium can easily seat 10,000 — the Trojans picked up a win as ugly as their surroundings as the two teams scrapped and struggled for every yard on offense.

How mutt-ugly was it?

The two teams combined for 230 yards in penalties and the man the field is named after — legendary Troy fullback Bob Ferguson — twice rushed for more yards in a single game (529 vs. Dayton Kiser and 475 vs. Monroe, both in 1956) than Troy and Xenia had in combined total offense (459 total yards) Saturday.

“I told you guys at the begining of the season it was going to be ugly,” said Troy coach Scot Brewer, who saw his team improve to 2-1; Xenia fell to 2-1.

“You saw how hard it was to move the ball against their big boys inside. It’s going to be tough for us to move the ball against teams like that all year.

We’re going to have to play great defense.”

On a day when the offense struggled to move the ball, Troy’s defense did indeed play lights out, picking off a pair of passes, holding Xenia to just 253 yards in total offense and holding the Buccaneers to a pair of field goals, despite twice giving Xenia a short field to work with.

“Our offense has a lot of inexperience,” Blakely said. “We’ve got a lot of young guys on offense.

Our defense has a lot of veterans. We’ve been together a long time and we know how to play together. Coach has told us all season long the defense was going to have to play well.”

Troy’s defense came up big early in the second quarter when a 5-yard Trojan punt gave the Buccaneers the ball at the Trojan 21. Three runs went nowhere, however, forcing Xenia to settle for a 29-yard field goal.

From there, Troy got all the offense it needed out of senior flanker Blake Williams, caught three passes for 61 yards and a touchdown, while carrying the ball eight times for 58 yards and a touchdown.

Williams accounted for both of Troy’s scores, while piling up 119 of Troy’s 206 total yards on offense.

“He’s special,” Brewer

Down 3-0 midway through the second quarter, Troy’s defense pinned Xenia down at its own 5.

After a 20-yard punt, Troy took over at the Buccaneer 25. On the first play from scrimmage, Troy quarterback Matt Barr hooked up with Williams on a 25-yard touchdown pass, putting the Trojans up 7-3.

“I just do a little bit of everything,” said Williams, who topped 100 yards in total offense for the second-straight game.

“I’m a power runner. I just run the ball hard and try to get north and south.

Coach Brewer depends on me a lot. He has a lot of faith in me.”

Late in the second quarter, Troy’s defenseforced a punt, but the Trojans were called for roughing the kicker on the play. A personal foul on the Trojans on the very next play gave the Buccaneers the ball in Trojan territory. Xenia would drive down to the Trojan 9 yard line, but the defense would again stiffen, forcing the Bucs to settle for another field goal just before halftime. Troy took a 7-6 lead into halftime.

“Our defense was outstanding today,” Brewer said.

Troy’s defense would ice the game in the third quarter. Xenia drove to the Troy 12, but back-toback penalties — the Bucs were flagged a total of 18 times for 145 yards — forced it all the way back to midfield. On third-and42, Xenia quarterback David Roberts II lofted a ball deep downfield, where Blakely snatched it out of the air.

“Usually we’re pressing, but Coach (Gene) Steinke yelled at me to back off my man,” Blakely said. “I just kept my deep third and kept my receiver in front of me. He left the ball up for grabs and I just went and got it.”

Blakely returned the ball to midfield. Barr hooked up with Williams on a 22-yard pass, then hit Seth Perdziola for a 13yard gain. Williams then ran it in a jet sweep from 7 yards out and Zach Thompson nailed the extra point to give the Trojans a 14-6 lead.

Xenia would make one final push for the tying score — but again, Troy’s defense was up to the test.

A 41-yard run by Roberts II on third down gave the Bucs the ball at the Trojan 15. Troy defensive end Marco Anverse recorded a sack for a 6-yard loss and Xenia picked up 7 yards on a pair of runs. On fourth down, Roberts II’s pass into the end zone fell harmlessly to the ground.

From there, Troy’s offense finally found enough wiggle room on the ground to run out the clock.

“It wasn’t pretty, but we’ll take it,” Brewer said.

MIAMI VALLEY SUNDAY NEWS • WWW.TROYDAILYNEWS.COM

Campbell Soup looks beyond iconic cans CAMDEN, N.J. (AP) — If your lunch still consists of a bowl of Campbell’s tomato soup and a grilled cheese sandwich, chances are you grew up using a typewriter.

Generations of Americans have moved on from Campbell’s condensed chicken noodle and tomato soups in search of heartier varieties with more sophisticated flavors. Now, the world’s largest soup company is racing to do the same.

Campbell Soup Co. last year began a quest that led executives to a diverse group of cities including Portland, Ore., and London to figure out how to make soups that appeal to younger, finicky customers. In the year ahead, the 143-year-old company plans to roll out 50 products such as Moroccan Style Chicken and Spicy Chorizo. The ingredients may surprise those used to a plain bowl of chicken soup: tomatillos, coconut milk and shitake mushrooms.

The new soups also won’t look like the big, gelatinous chunks that came in the steel cans that built Campbell into an iconic brand. These soups come in plastic pouches that are easy to open and heat up in a microwave in less than three minutes.

The remake could be a do-ordie task for Campbell. Overall canned soup consumption is down 13 percent over the past decade, according to the research firm Euromonitor International, as fresh soups have become more widely available at supermarkets and restaurants. And Campbell now has about 53 percent of the market, down from 67 percent a decade earlier.

Campbell’s changes also illustrate how difficult it is for brands that appeal to older customers to become relevant to Millennials.

This group, defined as those ages 18 through early 30s, is heavily sought after by companies and

Griffiths, right, browns fresh produce and tofu as chef Amanda Zimlich pours on Campbell’s new Green Thai Curry Skillet sauce at the company’s headquarters in Camden, N.J., Aug. 24. Last year the company began a quest that led executives to trendsetting cities including Portland, Ore., and London to figure out how to make soups that appeal to younger, finicky customers. In the year ahead, the 143-year-old company plans to roll out 50 new products such as Moroccan Style Chicken and Spicy Chorizo.

“As a kid, you eat it and it’s great. It served the purpose at the time,” said Veszpremy, noting that the soups were a cheap way for his single mother to give him a quick, comforting meal.

But looking back, he said he realizes that the soup wasn’t the best quality — the noodles were soggy and thin, the chicken pieces were minuscule and there were no vegetables. Veszpremy said his tastes have evolved: He sticks to homemade or the soup bar at the supermarket.

To understand what makes Millennials like Veszpremy tick, Campbell executives turned into

marketers. But Millennials have little in common with their parents, whether it’s their tastes, eating habits or cooking methods.

“I grew up with salt, pepper and ketchup,” said Chuck Vila, who heads Campbell’s customer insights division, which surveys the marketplace for trends.

“These guys are playing around with really interesting spices from around the world.”

George Veszpremy, a 32-yearold music director at a radio station in Boston, has fond memories of his mother sending him to school in the morning with a thermos of Campbell’s chicken noodle.

Darren Serrao, who heads innovation for Campbell.

That realization inspired Campbell’s Go plastic soup pouches, which come in flavors such as Coconut Curry, Creamy Red Pepper and Golden Lentil.

Consumers tear open the pouch, stick the bag in the microwave for about two-and-a-half minutes then pour the soup into a bowl.

For older Millennials who may just be starting families or advancing in their careers, the company created Skillet sauces in flavors such as Green Thai Curry and Creamy Chipotle. The directions are simple: Heat up some protein and vegetables. Mix in the sauce. Serve with rice or pasta.

The idea is to give consumers the sense that they’re creating their own dishes, without them having to shop for hard-to-find ingredients or do too much tedious prep work.

And then there’s the can. Red and white with the distinctive cursive lettering immortalized by Andy Warhol, it has become a piece of Americana.

“For many millions of people, the can is a very sensible package,” said Mary Gregg, who heads packaging for North America.

“It’s been around for years and people are very comfortable with it.”

But executives say with younger consumers, a can just doesn’t convey freshness. So the new Go soups come in white pouches featuring colorful fonts and photos of expressive, young faces. The Skillet sauces are meant to be a bit more sophisticated; they come in black pouches designed to evoke the chalkboard menus at sidewalk cafes.

But the new looks come with a price. A can of Chunky soup costs about $2.30 and has a shelf-life of about two years; the new pouches will cost about $3 and are good for about half that time.

anthropologists.

The company dispatched executives to London, Nashville, Portland and other designated “hipster hubs” to meet with younger consumers face-to-face.

Dozens were recruited to participate in “live-alongs,” in which executives ate meals with them in their homes, peeked in their pantries and tagged along on trips to the grocery store.

In other cases, couples were invited out to “eat-alongs” at trendy restaurants to talk about food in a casual atmosphere. They were asked to bring their favorite pantry items for discussion.

Participants responded by bringing a mix of spices and sauces typically found at ethnic grocery stores.

A staff of about a dozen Campbell chefs traveled for inspiration as well. In New York City, the group browsed in spice shops, bakeries and ethnic grocery stores. In Boston, they even ducked into an Urban Outfitters clothing store, just to get a better sense of the overall mindset of Millennials.

After a tour of New York City’s food trucks, Campbell’s executive chef Thomas Griffiths even began toying with the idea of incorporating kimchee, the pungent pickled vegetable dish from Korea, into a soup. But he knows that will be an acquired taste.

“With something like kimchee, well, that might take a little while,” Griffiths said.

The field work led executives to two seemingly divergent conclusions: First, cuisines once considered exotic — Thai, Indian, Brazilian — have become the norm. At the same time, years of dining out mean younger consumers aren’t as skilled at making meals from scratch, particularly when it comes to those very ethnic flavors.

“They can’t replicate the foods they enjoy when they go out,” said

NEW YORK (AP) — Coca-Cola’s newest drink won’t come in a bottle or a can. And people will only need a squirt or two to quench their thirst.

The world’s largest beverage company is introducing its Dasani Drops in coming weeks, which can be squeezed into water for some on-the-spot fruity flavor. And Coca-Cola is betting that there’s big potential for growth.

“I think there’s an opportunity beyond just flavored waters,” said John Roddey, vice president of CocaCola’s water, tea and coffee business in North America.

Although there are no set plans yet, Roddey says the next logical category for liquid drops would be tea.

That’s because drinks with higher sugar content are harder to turn into a liquid concentrate.

The Coca-Cola Co. isn’t the first to come out with flavor drops. The category was pioneered by Kraft Food Inc.’s MiO, which was introduced in March of last year and has quickly spawned copycats, including by supermarkets that sell store-brand versions.

The drops are popular because they come in small, portable containers that can be easily tucked into a purse or even back pocket. And unlike powdered drink packets, people can decide how much or little they want to squirt into their water. A small bottle can also have more than two dozen servings, meaning people save money they’d spend on bottled teas or enhanced waters.

As with Kraft’s MiO drinks, Dasani Drops use artificial sweeteners and

have zero calories. That could be a concern for consumers who don’t like artificial sweeteners, which often have a strong aftertaste.

Now Coca-Cola is preparing to leverage its scale to stake a claim in the category. Roddey says the plan is to make Dasani Drops available wherever its Dasani bottled water is sold, including on supermarket shelves, in checkout aisles or in the refrigerated sections in convenience stores.

“We’re looking to make this as broad as we can,” he said.

Dasani Drops, which will cost about $4, will start hitting shelves in early October. The company is starting with four flavors, but is already planning to introduce additional flavors next year. Each bottle has about 32 servings.

TODAY IN HISTORY (AP) — Today is Sunday, Sept. 9, the 253rd day of 2012.

There are 113 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Sept. 9, 1543, Mary Stuart was crowned Queen of Scots at Stirling Castle, nine months after she was born.

On this date: In 1776, the second Continental Congress made the

term “United States” official, replacing “United Colonies.”

In 1948, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (North Korea) was declared.

In 1957, President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed the first civil rights bill to pass Congress since Reconstruction.

In 1971, prisoners seized control of the maximum-security Attica Correctional Facility near Buffalo, N.Y., beginning a

siege that ended up claiming 43 lives.

Five years ago: Seemingly taunting Osama bin Laden, President George W. Bush’s homeland security adviser, Frances Fragos Townsend, said in Sunday talk-show appearances that the fugitive al-Qaida leader was “virtually impotent” beyond his ability to hide away and spread anti-American propaganda.

Litter law new attempt to target Vegas smut

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Some tourists try to dissuade them by directing icy glares their way.

Others stare, zombie-like, into the Las Vegas Strip’s ubiquitous video screens and light displays in an effort to ignore the pushy handbill distributors.

But some tourists accept the pamphlets and glossy cards that advertise all-but-nude exotic dancers. Then, more often than not, they toss the material in the trash. Or if a trash can isn’t nearby, onto the sidewalk creating an endless X-rated litter problem that Las Vegas officials are now trying to clean up.

A new ordinance requires handbillers to pick up litter within a 25-

foot radius on the sidewalk. But there’s a hitch: The law might run afoul of the First Amendment.

“If someone takes some material, regardless of what it is, and then walks down the street and decides to drop it, that’s the person who is littering. That’s the person that is responsible, not the person who gave it to them originally,” said Allen Lichtenstein, general counsel for the Nevada American Civil Liberties Union.

Las Vegas police aren’t enforcing the ordinance yet. The ACLU has been meeting regularly with the exotic dancer businesses and police to talk about how that will happen, as well as encourage

handbillers to help keep the Strip clean. The group has not yet challenged the law in court.

Meanwhile, handbillers — they’re also called “cardslappers” for the noise they make — to get people’s attention are as in-yourface as ever.

“They’re totally annoying,” John Marquez, of Winnipeg, Manitoba, said on a recent evening. “I pretty much take them and toss them in the first garbage can I see.”

One card he’d just grabbed near the Monte Carlo advertised a nearly nude woman named “Giesele” and a “$35 Special” but offered no other details on what the deal involved.

Food service assistant Connie Holfinger packages each of the salads with crackers and a whole grain bagel prior to students filing in for lunch Wednesday at Troy High School.

Fruits and veggies instead of fries New nutrition standards change look of school lunch

BY MELANIE YINGST Staff Writer myingst@tdnpublishing.com

mericans are experts at boycotts and protests from our country’s initial beginning by tossing crates of tea in the Boston Harbor to spark the American Revolution.

More than 200 years later, Troy High School seniors found their own inalienable rights violated when they came back to school to find their beloved bagels and cream cheese was no more.

“Man, I miss the bagels — bring back the bagels and it’s all good,” said Troy High School senior Tanner Roop, adding he’d also misses the famous chocolate chip cookies and snicker-doodles.

Gone are the days of dense bagels and the cream cheese, as the United States Department of Agriculture’s newest nutrition standards went in to effect when the first day of school opened.

Also gone from the cafeteria line are the french fries (which used to be baked, not fried), apple crisp with ice cream and cookies.

“The biggest misconception so far is (the students) don’t realize that they can buy extra,” said Sharon Babcock, Troy City Schools’ food service director. “They can buy another sandwich, get another serving of, like today, chicken nuggets.”

“Self-fulfilling Prophecy” Whether a positive change or negative change, what is for certain is the days of “mystery meat” and corn dogs has changed. What has changed for all public school lunches are more offerings of fruit and vegetables to one cup of each daily — popular if one likes leafy greens and fruits — which could be

“They have to take one fruit and one vegetable, where as before, if they didn’t want it, they didn’t have to take it,” Babcock said.

Restrictions also dictate down to the color of vegetables offered. The new groups include dark greens (bok coy, broccoli, spinach, Romaine lettuce), red and orange (squash, carrots, pumpkin, red peppers, tomato juice), beans and peas

(black beans, lentils, and variety of beans) starchy (corn, green peas, Lima beans, plantains, potatoes) and the “other” category (asparagus, cabbage, cauliflower, celery).

The list is filled with “exotic” options including jicama (a root vegetable), okra, beets, eggplant, taro and water chestnuts to name a few.

“Kids love broccoli, they really do, it sells well here,” Babcock said.

“What’s different is we can’t really squeeze in the ranch dressing to dip

unless our calorie count allows it.”

Also new to the tray are the calorie restrictions as well as the protein and grain offerings allotted per week, which differ from elementary, junior high (grades sixth through eighth) and high school.

“We have to stay within a 2 ounce minimum where we used to build turkey sandwiches up to 4 ounces,” Babcock said.

“We can’t do that anymore.”

Babcock, along with assistant food service employee Michele Copas, said the phone calls to their office have mainly been in reference to the

calorie restrictions and student athletes.

“We just tell them that their football player can buy more extras, because they can, they just have to take the full tray of offerings,” Babcock said.

Babcock said the new restrictions have required more preparation of cutting the fruits and such, as well as more paperwork and documentation of the requirements in order for the district to collect the

extra 6 cents of federal funds per lunch.

“Every calorie counts, even the ketchup packets, the mustard — every component,” she said.

Babcock also said she works hard to offer each student the maximum amount of calories within the guidelines. High school lunches are allowed up to 850 calories per lunch.

IT HAPPENED YEARS AGO

BY PATRICK D. KENNEDY For the Troy Daily News 25 Years Ago: Sept. 9-22, 1987 • FREDERICK — The small village of Frederick, located in southern Miami County, is searching for ways to resolve its water problems. They do not have too much water, quite the opposite; they have too little. As the result of the dry summer, many of the area wells have dried up and, of course, the residents need water on a daily basis for a multitude of reasons.

It is something that can really change a person or family’s lifestyle when water is not easily accessible. The Union Township Trustees are looking into long term solutions to the problem, but, in the meantime, the fire department and a donated tank will supply the water needs for many in the village. But as Union Township trustee Preston Mote stated, “This is not a solution.” (Columnist’s note: Newspaper accounts indicate that the water shortage problem continued for at least a couple years. One source told me that some residents of Frederick were later annexed into Union (city) in Montgomery County and therefore tied into their water supply, but there were others who stayed the course and continue to rely on wells for their water supply.)

• TROY — The Brower Stationers & Office Supply store is a business on the move, literally. The longtime business, which has been located at 4 W. Main St. since 1944, is relocating to 16 S. Market St. Frank Brower Jr. purchased the former Kerr-Dickerson Office Products from Joe Dickerson, who wanted to devote his full attention to his real estate and auction business. (Columnist’s note: Brower’s, which moved in 1987 because they needed more space later purchased the former Oxley Drug Store space

HIGHLIGHT IN HISTORY 100 Years Ago: Sept. 9-22, 1912 • CASSTOWN — Sam Frank, whose clubhouse was raided last week, was found in violation of the Rose Local Option law under the charge of bootlegging. The police found 14 kegs of beer in his meeting place and was therefore charged and found guilty by Casstown Mayor J.C. Knoop. Mr. Frank stated he will appeal the conviction because he has 20 witnesses from Dayton who claim the beer belongs to them and that Frank did not produce it or sell it to them.

just north of the location to expand the floor space again.

Frank Brower Sr. originally began his business in 1944 when he purchased the former Allen Office Supply from Charles M. and Virginia Allen.

Brower’s is still a family owned business meeting the office supply, art supply and the educational needs of Troy and area residents.)

50 Years Ago: Sept. 9-22, 1962 • OHIO (UPI) — Nine new U.S. astronauts, including veteran x-15 rocket plane pilot Neil Armstrong of Wapakoneta, Ohio, were introduced to the nation today. One will probably be the first American to set foot on the moon. The nine pilots are Neil Armstrong, 32; Air Force Maj. Frank Borman, 34; Navy Lt. Charles Conrad r., 34; Navy Lt. Commdr. James A. Lovell, 34; Air Force Capt.

James A. McDivitt, 33; Elliot M. See Jr., 35; Air Force Capt.

Thomas P. Stafford, 32; Air Force Capt. Edward H. White II, 32; and Navy Lt. Cmmdr. John W. Young, 32. Both Armstrong and See are civilian test pilots.

The goal of the men is to fly to the moon in five years or less.

The Buckeye State, which provided the world with the Wright Brothers, Capt. Eddie Rickenbaker of World War I fame and astronaut John Glenn, can be proud of this new crop of astronauts in which five have Ohio ties. Armstrong and Lovell

are natives of Ohio; White is stationed at Wright-Patterson AFB in Dayton, while McDivitt and See both married Ohio girls. (Columnist’s note: This month we are honoring Neil Armstrong who died recently, who 50 years ago took a big step toward becoming the hero that he was. At the time he was chosen, his father Stephen Armstrong was quoted as saying becoming an astronaut was something Neil wanted to accomplish; It was a goal of his.

Afterward, Neil Armstrong was always very humble and gracious about what he had accomplished.)

• MIAMI COUNTY — Miss Melba Martz of Troy has been elected grange master at the Staunton Grange. Miss Martz, who has been involved with the organization for about 18 years, believes she is the first woman to hold such a post in Miami County. She previously held several other official positions in the Staunton Grange.

75 Years Ago: Sept. 9-22, 1937 • STAUNTON TOWNSHIP — It has been announced that the Ohio Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church will close Raper Chapel in this township. The building and its contents will be sold and the receipts will be given to the Troy parish. The church was organized in 1845 and was named for Rev. William H. Raper, the oldest circuit riding minister of the

Miami Circuit. The remaining members of the small congregation were hoping the activities of the church could be maintained until the church reached the century mark, but an aging and dwindling membership caused the conference to make its decision. In light of the decision that the last service ever to be held in the old chapel would take place on Sept. 26, a celebrationfarewell program was planned and will be held with several former ministers and former members attending. A program of music, preaching and history has been organized for that meeting. (Columnist’s note: The old Raper Chapel Cemetery, north of Troy on the Troy-Piqua Road near the the Troy-Sidney Road intersection, is all that remains of the old chapel and its history.)

• TROY — The first steel house of its kind was put in place on Hobart Circle by the Hobart Brothers Co. yesterday (Sept. 21) when a 25-ton, twostory home, completely constructed in the factory, was removed to the site by special equipment. There is a company on the west coast which has constructed one-story homes in its factory prior to moving them to a permanent site, but the Hobart product is a steel home, believed by some to be the future in homebuilding, plus, it is a two-story home. The Hobart company has been working on this type of construction for several months and if the inquiries they have received since the news was first announced are any indication, then the steel homes may well be the house of the future.

Pampering pets becomes project SYCAMORE, Ill. (AP) — For Erika Young, her 3year-old boxer, Mandy, isn’t just a dog.

She’s more like a second child.

Mandy is dropped off at day care three days a week.

She gets dressed up in Halloween costumes every year and dons a Santa hat around Christmas time.

And for her birthday this month, she got some cookies baked specially for dogs.

“I spoil her just the way I spoil my son - on a different level, of course,” said Young, who lives in Sycamore. “She’s just a member of the family.”

Young is among a growing number of pet owners who go the extra mile for their pets, said Carlos Dominguez, veterinarian at Bethany Animal Hospital in Sycamore.

“Pets are switching from owned property in people’s minds to actually being part of the family,” he said.

“We’ve been seeing that trend for the last couple of years.”

Jody Meerdink, owner of Paw Lickin’ Good in

Sycamore, also has noticed that owners’ attitudes toward their pets have changed. Her business, including the pet bakery, has thrived even though the store opened just before the Great Recession. Aside from bakery items, specialty meals - such as dogfriendly “granny’s pot pie” and lasagna - also are popular around the holidays.

Meerdink said that’s mainly the “pamper” side of the business.

“I think for a lot of people, the attitude of having a dog or a cat went from ‘I have a dog’ to ‘I have another kid,’ ” she said.

Huckleberry’s Pet Parlor in Sycamore gives pet owners plenty of opportunities to pamper their pets, from a moist towel wrap to a blueberry facial.

But those services also serve purposes beyond pampering, though, said Jenny Kingren, owner of the pet parlor. The facials are popular for dogs with lighter fur because it helps remove tear stains. And the towel wraps help dogs with dry skin.

Kingren said the pet

parlor also carries a brand of nail “pawlish” just for pets, in shades including fire hydrant red and poodle pink.

And at the doggie day care, where Young’s boxer Mandy goes, Kingren offers a live-feed webcam so owners can check in on their dogs during the day.

“They are a pet, but they’re part of the family, as well,” Kingren said. “I think many families want to take care of their family members.”

Dominguez said extras such as doggie day care make a difference because dogs are social animals that require human attention. A day care can provide the mental stimulation they need, especially if a dog has separation anxiety or compulsive behavior.

He said pets also are living longer for a variety of reasons, including better diets, advanced medical treatments and better access to care.

“The ability to take your dog to a specialist used to be more of a privilege in urban communities,” he said.

120 Years Ago: Sept.r 9-22, 1892 • PIQUA — As a result of the cholera epidemic overseas, it seems most people are anxious about the disease reaching our shores or this area of the country. Apparently, Piqua had a scare last week when a new family from Europe arrived in the city and it was believed they might be contagious, having come from a country which has been hit hard by the cholera. The city health officials quarentined the family for several days in a farm house near Covington.

Later, following examination, an officer gave all the members a clean bill of health and much tension was relieved.

146 Years Ago: Sept. 9-22, 1866 • MIAMI COUNTY — The Miami County Agricultural Society has invited the Base Ball clubs of Dayton and Piqua to the county fair next week so they can demonstrate how the game is played. The game has been growing in popularity across the country and even Troy has its own club.

(Columnist’s note: Although the popularity of baseball had been growing in this area, the game had been played for a number of years “back east.” But, it was not until 1869 when the Cincinnati Red Stockings first formed that the first professional team took to the field. Today, they are known as the Cincinnati Reds. Locally speaking, it was a number of years until area high schools fielded official representatives on the baseball field.)

Patrick D. Kennedy is archivist at the Troy-Miami County Public Library’s Local History Library, 100 W. Main St., Troy, 335-4082.

Lunch

Kingren said even during the height of the recession, pet owners still found the means to groom their pets, although some added a few more weeks between visits. She said grooming remained essential because, without it, pets’ nails can start to curl under or their ears can get infected.

Diet also is more popular lately as a preventive tool to keep pets from having to see the veterinarian as often, Meerdink said.

“We look at how we treat our own nutrition and think, if that affects me, it probably affects my companion,” Meerdink said.

For Young, it’s the little extras that make Mandy feel more like family. That means buying a birthday cake made specially for dogs or making sure Mandy has a costume for the monthly themed parties at her day care center.

“I can’t imagine not having her as part of our life,” she said. “We made a conscious decision (when we got her) that we wanted a pet as a member of the family.”

• Continued from B1 want every calorie to count at the end of the week,” she said.

Many of the food vendors had to change their offerings as well, including the bagels, to meet the new 51 percent whole grains, which next year will be upped to 100 percent whole grains — pizza included.

“We were already ahead of the game and using whole grains in things,” she said.

It had been years since the school used deep fryers, yet sweet potato fries have replaced the french fries and everything is baked, not fried, including last week’s chicken nuggets.

Babcock said her staff has been on board with the changes despite the more laborious prep work of the fresh fruit and vegetables.

“It’s really a nice meal,” she said eyeing the bananas, apples and sliced oranges. “You have to balance it out and it’s hard work with the prepping, but we think it’s worth it.”

With the threat of the “Bagel Boycott” behind them, Babcock said her team hasn’t seen any major dips in meal counts.

“We’re averaging plate lunches about the same as last year,” she said. “I just don’t think you are going to see a lot of resistance.”

An Apple A Day Cost More Pay Yet, one troublesome aspect of the new requirements is the same for everyone at their local produce section of the grocery — fresh produce costs more.

“We have to comply,” she said. Babcock said the federal government kicks in 27 cents per lunch. With the regulations, another 6 cents per lunch, for a total of 33 cents, will be added to the district’s reimbursement.

“When an apple is 40 cents now — well, (lunch

prices) will have to go up next year,” she said.

To date, a Troy High School and Troy Junior High student’s lunch costs $2.50 plus beverage and the elementary lunches cost $2.25 per lunch.

“This department should be self-supporting,” she said. “That’s why we have had to cut back in labor — that’s really the only place we can help our program.”

Student “Feed”back Gathered ‘round the “senior table,” many were eager to offer their opinions of the new, healthier lunch.

“I eat lunch every day and I don’t really like it at all,” said 17 year-old senior Brooke Evans.

“There’s not as many options as there used to be.”

Evans said she has a healthy appetite and will try to sneak in a snack or two between classes.

“It’ll be a bag of chips or something,” Evans said. A softball player, Evans said she’ll be thinking ahead when her senior season comes around in the spring.

“I’ll definitely pack something for after school for practice,” she said.

Senior Daniel Carey, a varsity soccer player, said he stays pretty full throughout the day and through after school practice.

“I’m normally good,” said Carey, who bought two cartons of milk that day. “We get meals before the games, but I’m normally good after school.”

Senior Katie Gearheardt said so far she’s OK with the changes, despite admitting she doesn’t quite eat healthy at home herself.

“It’s OK — it’s weird they don’t have chips,” Gearheardt said, despite Fritos, a whole grain chip, being offered daily.

“They fill you up still — it’s just healthier. But there’s no peanut butter for the celery.”

Should you pay off student loans quickly?

BY JOSEPH PISANI Associated Press Feeling trapped under a mountain of student loan debt?

Joe Mihalic did. So a year ago, the 29-year-old Harvard Business School graduate aimed to wipe out his $90,000 debt. He was earning just over $100,000 as a product line manager at a technology company in Austin, Texas, but was spending too much. He stopped eating out, rented two rooms in his house, sold his motorcycle and cashed out a retirement account.

He paid off his loan in just seven months.

“My stress level is so much lower,” says Mihalic, who blogged about his expeat rience NoMoreHarvardDebt.com and wrote an e-book.

It’s a feeling many will envy. Student loan borrowers owe nearly $25,000 on average. Paying back the minimum means it can take years to make a significant dent. But is it smart to pay off student loans as aggressively as Mihalic?

It depends on whether you have other types of debt.

Student loans tend to have low interest rates, usually below 9 percent. It’s best to pay off higher interest rate debt first, such as car loans and credit card debt, says Alexa von Tobel, founder and CEO of financial management site

AP PHOTO/MATT ROURKE, FILE

In this May 20, 2011, file photo, graduates from various institutions toss their hats in the air in Philadelphia. Many graduatues are burried in student loans, but Joe Mihalic, a business school graduate, paid off $90k in student loans in 7 months and blogged about his experience at NoMoreHarvardDebt.com.

LearnVest.com.

You need to also think about your future before throwing extra money at student loans. Fund your retirement accounts because you can earn a higher rate of return in the stock market. Also, make sure you have an emergency fund to cover about six to eight months of expenses.

Mihalic was motivated to pay off his loans quickly after being passed over for a promised promotion. He wanted to tell his bosses that he would look for another job, but realized he wouldn’t be able to make student loan or mortage payments if it backfired.

“I wanted to send a strong message to the company, but I couldn’t afford

to,” Mihalic says. “It was a shocking realization.”

Soon came another shock. Although Mihalic had paid $1,057 a month for nearly two years, the more than $22,000 in payments only lowered his debt to $90,700 from the original balance of $101,000. That’s when he revved up his payments.

Here’s what you should consider if you want to do the same.

SCRUTINIZE YOUR SPENDING: Don’t try to keep up with how much your friends are spending.

“Turn off Facebook,” Mihalic says. “All you’re seeing is their new car or new shoes.

You don’t see that they are drowning in debt.”

Mihalic was spending

$1,300 a month on movies, weekend getaways and eating out before slashing those costs. He stopped taking to restaurants. dates Instead they would go hiking or have a picnic. For nights with friends, he avoided a big bar tab by bringing a flask.

“Some girls sort of turned their noses up,” Mihalic says. “But I started avoiding those women. I don’t want to work until I’m 65.”

Another place to cut costs is on cable TV, says von Tobel. That can free up an extra $100 a month to put towards your student loans.

She also recommends taking a closer look at services that take money out of your checking account automatically every month.

Cancel gym memberships you’re not using or subscriptions to magazines you’re not reading.

Sell any spare vehicles you own, like a second car or a motorcycle. Keep only what you need in order to get to work. You’ll get some extra cash, but you’ll also save on maintenance, gas and insurance costs.

PAY OFF PRIVATE STUDENT LOANS FIRST: Those loans have higher interest rates than federal ones. Many private loans have variable rates, meaning that their interest rates could jump in the next several years, says Zac Bissonnette, author of “How to Be Richer, Smarter and Better Looking than Your Parents.”

DON’T CASH OUT ANY RETIREMENT ACCOUNTS: Mihalic withdrew $12,235 from his individual retirement account. But after paying early withdrawal penalties and taxes, he only received a check for $7,953. Mihalic recognizes that it didn’t make sense financially, but emotionally it provided more motivation to carry out his plan.

Tapping your retirement account should be an absolute last resort.

Mihalic might be able to rebuild his balance because of his high salary, but he still had to pay the steep penalty and is missing the potential compounded

earnings of his entire original balance.

Mihalic also stopped contributing to his 401(k), another mistake, especially if your employer is matching your contributions.

Always take advantage of an employer match. Don’t ever give up free money.

GET A ROOMMATE: If you don’t own a home, renting a place with a roommate will help keep housing costs down, says Lauren Lyons Cole, a certified financial planner.

Mihalic rented out two rooms in the three-bedroom house he owns. He hated losing his privacy, but says it was an easy way to bring in more money.

Mihalic has no regrets about the sacrifices he made during the seven months. He’s now replenishing his retirement accounts and continues to cut costs. But he’s not getting any more roommates.

The last one moved out in August.

No longer burdened by student loans, Mihalic plans to use the extra money to start a business one day, or take time off work and travel.

Such rapid repayment may not be feasible in your situation. But even so, the key bit of advice to take away from Mihalic’s story is to put together a plan. Even if you only set aside an extra $10 a week toward your loan, that helps.

Modern life, ancient ruins IF YOU GO …

Present, past coexist in the Southwest

BY KAREN MATTHEWS Associated Press SECOND MESA, Ariz. (AP) — A road trip to the Four Corners region of the Southwest offers a window into Native American culture, from ruins older than any other man-made structure in the U.S., to glimpses of contemporary life amid the Navajo and Hopi. Named for the spot where the borders of four states Colorado, New Mexico, Utah and Arizona intersect, the Four Corners region is also home to surreal landscapes like the Painted Desert and Monument Valley.

On a recent weeklong trip with my mother and my 14-yearold daughter, we visited some of the area’s cultural and historical riches. Here are some highlights.

HOPI MESAS Some native American sites are best visited with a guide. Our guide to the Hopi reservation, Gary Tso, met us at the Hopi Cultural Center, a museum, hotel and restaurant where the lunch crowd was split between locals and tourists. About 13,000 Hopi live on the reservation in Arizona, entirely surrounded by the Navajo Nation. Tso took us to villages including Old Oraibi, which dates to 1150 and claims to be the oldest continuously inhabited community in the United States.

Some stone houses there are centuries old, a living link to native American ruins elsewhere in the region. Tso rattled off a graduate seminar’s worth of information about the Hopi as he drove, explaining that he is Hopi even though his father is Navajo because the Hopi are matrilineal.

We met craftspeople making silver jewelry and kachinas, the wooden figures that represent spirit beings; we bought souvenirs but took no photos because the Hopi do not allow photography. Nor did we pocket any of weathered pottery fragments that littered the ground.

MONUMENT VALLEY AND THE PETRIFIED FOREST NATIONAL PARK The Grand Canyon is the Southwest’s most spectacular natural wonder but there are many other awe-inspiring geographical features. Monument Valley in the Arizona-Utah border area is studded with dramatic sandstone buttes and was the setting for classic Westerns like John Ford’s “Stagecoach” and “The Searchers.” The fossilized tree stumps of the Petrified Forest and the banded slopes of the Painted Desert look like Dr. Seuss might have drawn them. A ranger at the Petrified Forest National Park offered to take our picture. I wondered if he was especially eager to please because his park is less popular than the Grand Canyon.

Rebel Wilson brings quirky comedy to film and TV LOS ANGELES (AP) — Get ready to notice Rebel Wilson.

She may have already caught your eye with her brief appearance in “Bridesmaids,” playing the freeloading roommate who reads Annie’s (Kristen Wiig) diary after mistaking it for “a very sad, handwritten book.”

The 28-year-old Australian actress’ scene-stealing turn in the 2011 hit certainly got Hollywood’s attention.

“Basically, the week ‘Bridesmaids’ came out, I booked up for the rest of the year,” Wilson said during a recent interview.

Among the gigs: Joining the A-list ensemble in “What to Expect When You’re Expecting,” voicing a hostile kangaroo in the animated “Ice Age: Continental Drift,” working with Mark Wahlberg in Michael Bay’s crime

dramedy “Pain and Gain” and playing a silky-voiced (if aerobically challenged) competitive singer in next month’s musical comedy “Pitch Perfect.” She’s also about to start taping a TV pilot with Conan O’Brien, “Super Fun Night,” which she’s set to star in and produce.

Wilson’s latest on-screen work is in “Bachelorette,” in theaters Friday. Writer-director Leslye Headland cast the comedienne as the straight woman in the dark comedy. Wilson plays Becky, a sweet, beaming bride the first of her friends to marry. Kirsten Dunst, Isla Fisher and Lizzy Caplan are her troubled clique of friends whose hard-partying antics threaten to ruin Becky’s big day.

“It was sort of crazy, because it’s like, really? You’re going to cast Rebel Wilson as the straight

guy?” Headland recalled. “Becky is a very difficult character to cast. You need really, really adept and fearless actors. I met Rebel and I saw her work and I was like, ‘I have to have her.’”

“Pitch Perfect” director Jason Moore agrees with the fearless description.

“There’s this beautiful openness to the way Rebel approaches everything,” he said.

In “What to Expect,” for example, the full-figured actress trades outfits with petite Elizabeth Banks and romps about unselfconsciously.

Though Wilson is a fresh face for American audiences, she’s no stranger to performing. A writer, actress and standup comic in her native Australia, she began on stage and appeared in more than a dozen TV shows before heading to Hollywood to break into

movies. “Bridesmaids” was her first stateside job.

“I think I came to America at the right time,” she said. “To have ‘Bridesmaids’ be the first thing I was cast in and to have that be just such a huge hit, even though I was just part of the ensemble in that I have just been working nonstop. I’m a writer as well, so I’ve got lots of things in development and it’s crazy. It’s just been a nonstop whirlwind, and I can’t wait for people to see all these movies.”

Meanwhile, she is embracing her growing profile and her newly adopted culture.

Wilson’s film jobs have taken her around the country: “Bachelorette” shot in New York, “What to Expect” filmed in Atlanta and “Pitch Perfect” was done in Louisiana.

“I’m getting a whole tour of

America, which I love,” said the entertainer, whose given name is Rebel. (She has siblings named Liberty, Ryot and Annachi.)

Another love she’s discovered is reality TV. “It just fascinates me,” Wilson said. “‘Here Comes Honey Boo Boo’ is my new favorite, and ‘Dance Moms’ is my other favorite. Sometimes I watch it and I imitate them and I do their voices. It’s just good for coming up with characters… The more I know about America, the better I’ll be at performing American characters and American stories.”

Originally a law student, Wilson chose to pursue performing after having a malariainduced dream in which she saw herself accepting an Academy Award.

Eric Church truly surprised by CMA nominations

(AP) — No one was more surprised by Eric Church’s leading five Country Music Awards nominations than the rising star from North Carolina. He didn’t even know they were happening.

“The funny part of the story is I’ve been on vacation the last week and I lost my phone in the Gulf of Mexico when I was swimming,” Church said in a recorded statement.

“And I had no clue that even the CMA nominations were today and just laying on an airplane and really unplugged from the world.”

When Church landed Wednesday morning, he was whisked to his management office in Nashville, Tenn., where he learned the news that not AP PHOTO/CBS FILMS, JONATHAN WENK only had he received the This film image released by CBS Films shows Bradley Cooper and Jeremy Irons in a scene from “The Words.” first major CMA nominations of his career, but that he’d also broken through in the prestigious album, male vocalist and song of the year categories.

new artist nominations.

Both made a splash earning spots on the male vocalist and album of the year lists. They knocked longtime nominee and multiple winner Paisley off the list of male vocalist nominees, joining Aldean, Shelton and Keith Urban.

And they also shook up the album of the year list Bryan for “Tailgates & Tanlines” and Church for “Chief.” Other nominees in that category included Lambert’s “Four the Record,” Bentley’s “Home” and Lady Antebellum’s “Own the Night.”

“Those are just really, really important categories and stuff that really anytime I get nominated and I look at the company that I’m in it’s pretty amazing,” Bryan said.

Kelly Clarkson broke through in the female vocalist category, joining previous nominees Swift, Lambert, Carrie Underwood and Martina McBride. It’s Clarkson’s first individual CMA nomination. She and Aldean won musical event last year for their duet “Don’t You Wanna Stay.”

Aldean said it was the surprise nomination of the day.

“I think that she kind of obviously opened up some eyes to some people and obviously they’re taking notice of that and rewarding her for her contributions to country music over the last year, so I think it’s great,” Aldean said.

Lady Antebellum will go for their fourth straight vocal group of the year award against Zac Brown Band, The Band Perry, Little Big Town and Eli Young Band.

Church picked up two more nominations in the single and song of the year categories for his hit “Springsteen.”

Vocal duo nominees include Sugarland, Big & Rich, Thompson Square and Love and Theft and The Civil Wars, which also scored a nomination with Swift for their “Safe & Sound” collaboration on “The Hunger Games” soundtrack.

New artist nominees are Lee Brice, Brantley Gilbert, Hunter Hayes, Love and Theft and Thompson Square.

BOOK REVIEW SUNDAY CROSSWORD

AP PHOTO/RIVERHEAD BOOKS

This book cover image released by Riverhead Books shows “The Bartender’s Tale,” by Ivan Doig.

Doig spins masterful ‘Bartender’s Tale’

BY ROB MERRILL AP Book Reviewer “The Bartender’s Tale” (Riverhead Books), by Ivan Doig: Looking for a good story? A well-written and engrossing tale that leaves you feeling satisfied? Give Ivan Doig’s latest novel a chance.

Set in Doig’s beloved Montana mostly in the summer of 1960, “The Bartender’s Tale” is as plain as the title. It’s a slice of one family’s life as remembered by the narrator when he was 12 years old.

With typical preteen flourish, narrator Rusty opens the story: “My father was the best bartender who ever lived.” You’re hooked from that opening sentence, as Rusty is picked up at his aunt’s house in Phoenix by his “pops,” Tom Harry, and driven to Gros Ventre, Mont. “Good-bye, saguaros (a type of cactus), hello sagebrush,” narrates Rusty.

Father and son fend for themselves for years, with Tom twirling towels and polishing his oak bar and Rusty holed up in a backroom filled with treasures pawned by patrons who couldn’t pay their tab. He discovers a slotted vent that lets in the sights and sounds from the bar and sits beside it for hours, eavesdropping on the adult conversations and stories pouring out of thirsty customers.

The story is too good and rich to spoil here.

There’s a girl, of course, and it’s through her and Rusty’s eyes that the remarkable events of the summer of 1960 unfold.

There’s a mystery woman for Tom, too, who shows up with a daughter he never knew he had. And then there’s a fresh-out-of-college boy named Delano, on the road for the Library of Congress to create an oral history of the West.

Doig is a master at weaving all the characters together and never losing the audience. It’s not a page turner you feel driven to finish in a few sittings, but it’s the perfect book for your bedside table. Pick it up, lose yourself in the past and remember what it was like to be 12 years old, when your world and all the people who entered into it felt as fresh as the Montana mountain air.

Hamilton says Armstrong book provides relief NEW YORK (AP) — At first, Tyler Hamilton was impressed with the power Lance Armstrong wielded in cycling circles, his ability to call the head of the international cycling federation at any time and call him by his first name.

As time passed, Hamilton saw how that power could work against him, too for example, when he was summoned to the federation’s offices and warned he was being monitored shortly after beating Armstrong in a race.

The 41-year-old, who rode with Armstrong on the U.S. Postal Service team from 1998 to 2001, details the years he spent lying about using performanceenhancing drugs and his relationship with Armstrong in his book, “The Secret Race, Inside the Hidden World of the Tour de France: Doping, Cover-Ups and Winning at All Costs.”

He said coming clean about secrets he always

swore he’d take to the grave gave him a sense of peace after years “of being so stressed out,” even well after he retired.

“The truth will set you free, I’d always heard that term,” Hamilton told The Associated Press during an interview Wednesday. “Once in a while, when I was younger, I’d lie, then tell the truth and I’d feel better. But this was like a thousandpound backpack off my shoulders. I was out of cycling, I was continuing to live my life in my postcycling career. But I was miserable. There was something wrong.”

The book, released Wednesday, is a culmination of a gut-wrenching 18 months for Hamilton, who provided details to a grand jury looking into the Armstrong case, then talked about them during an interview on “60 Minutes.” All of his information was used in the case the U.S. AntiDoping Agency brought

against Armstrong.

Armstrong has long denied doping but last week chose not to fight drug charges by USADA, which last month erased 14 years of Armstrong’s competitive results, including his seven Tour de France titles.

Wearing a light grey suit and long curly hair that brushed his neck, Hamilton looked and sounded much more relaxed than the halting, hesitant person who appeared on “60 Minutes” in May 2011.

“I don’t think I was super-comfortable,” he said.

“I knew I wanted to do it but it was hard getting the words out.”

Married last fall for the second time and now living in Montana, Hamilton said the words come much easier now that he’s finished the book.

Hamilton’s co-author, Daniel Coyle, said he agreed to write the book only if Hamilton gave him full access to his records and

files and gave him the chance to independently verify all of Hamilton’s recollections.

He said the day Hamilton was called into UCI was “just an interesting portrait of where we were in the sport at the time.”

“It was a way to measure the sheer impact,” Coyle said. “You could ask, ‘Was Lance bigger than the sport?’”

Though many details of the alleged doping that Hamilton writes about were revealed on “60 Minutes,” the book also paints a portrait of Armstrong as a power player inside his sport and an intimidating figure, who was not to be crossed.

Hamilton writes about a call he received from the International Cycling Union three hours after a victory over Armstrong, who was no longer his teammate, in Mont Ventoux, France, in the lead up to the 2004 Tour de France. “It felt like being

called to the principal’s office,” Hamilton wrote.

During the 40-minute meeting, UCI officials told Hamilton they’d be watching him closely, but he wrote that the meeting, ultimately, was anticlimactic, “as if the UCI had called me in just to be able to say they called me in.”

Hamilton writes that a few days later, Floyd Landis called him and told him the meeting had been engineered by Armstrong but when he confronted Armstrong about it, he denied it.

Landis is the cyclist whose 2006 Tour de France title was stripped. He denied doping for a long time, then admitted he did it and his testimony has also been used in the case against Armstrong.

Armstrong’s agent, Bill Stapleton, did not immediately respond to messages seeking comment.

It’s easy to find advice on decorating nearly every inch of your home. Kitchens, living rooms, bedrooms, baths even mudrooms and closets get attention. But the lowly basement gets short shrift.

These subterranean spaces present a host of decorating challenges, from low ceilings and limited natural light to never-ending battles with dampness and even flooding.

Yet basements can be untapped treasures.

Kathryn Bechen, author of the new “Small Space Organizing” (Revell Books), first tackled basement decorating while living in a tiny basement apartment. Years later, she preaches the same decorating techniques that helped make her underground rental into a cozy home: Decide exactly how you’ll use your basement, and then either embrace its dark coziness or use color, texture and the right furnishings to bring the illusion of bright, open space.

Bechen says it’s worth the effort, especially for people with small homes, to convert a previously ignored basement into a family gathering spot, workspace or media room.

Here she and interior designers Brian Patrick Flynn, founder of decordemon.com, and Kyle Schuneman, an expert on decorating small spaces, offer advice on making basements beautiful.

“Since there’s usually a major lack of natural light in basements,” Flynn says, “inject light by using muted color and tons of white.

What I often do is stick with muted grays on the walls, then use ultra-white on ceilings to help bounce light throughout the space. But to make it more punchy, I toss in a super-saturated accent color such as fire-engine red,

“Many basements have even a tiny basement window will help maximize drop-down ceilings, which are definitely practical since light.

Three important areas to decorate this fall

2312908

MORTGAGE WATCH

Average rate slips to 3.55 percent WASHINGTON (AP) — Average U.S. rates on fixed mortgages changed little this week and remained slightly above record lows reached earlier this year. The low rates have aided a modest housing recovery.

Mortgage buyer Freddie Mac said Thursday the rate on the 30-year loan slipped to 3.55 percent, down from 3.59 percent last week. Six weeks ago, the rate fell to 3.49 percent, the lowest since long-term mortgages began in the 1950s.

The average on the 15-year fixed mortgage, a popular refinancing option, was unchanged at 2.86 percent. That’s above the record low of 2.80 percent reached six weeks ago.

Cheap mortgages have lifted home sales this year. Sales of newly built and previously occupied homes are well above last year’s levels. Prices have increased consistently, largely because the supply of homes has shrunk while sales have risen. And builder confidence is at its highest level in five years.

Still, the housing market has a long way back to full health. Some economists forecast that sales of previously occupied homes will rise 8 percent this year to about 4.6 million.

That’s well below the 5.5 million annual sales considered healthy. Many people are still having difficulty qualifying for home loans or can’t afford larger down payments required by banks.

Mortgage rates are low because they tend to track the yield on the 10-year Treasury note.

A weaker U.S. economy and uncertainty about how Europe will resolve its debt crisis have led investors to buy more Treasury securities, which are considered safe investments. As demand for Treasurys increase, the yield falls.

To calculate average rates, Freddie Mac surveys lenders across the country on Monday through Wednesday of each week.

The average does not include extra fees, known as points, which most borrowers must pay to get the lowest rates. One point equals 1 percent of the loan amount.

The average fee for 30-year loans was 0.7 point, up from 0.6 point last week. The fee for 15-year loans was unchanged at 0.6 point.

Even if you are pressed for time this year when you decorate for autumn, be sure to add a touch or two to these three important areas.

• Front walkway Before guests even get to your door, let them know you’re excited about fall.

Find a spot on your front walkway to tuck in a fall display. My favorite trick is to select two large lanterns, then fill each with an attractive seasonal display.

It might be a battery-operated pillar candle surrounded by fall foliage inside and a cute fall ribbon tied onto the lantern handle. Lantern displays take just minutes to pull together, but look fetching. If you don’t have a natural spot to place a fall display up close to the road, put a lantern on your front stoop.

I also like to do a little something near the entry to the walled courtyard behind my home. The wall is large and open and just ripe for a lantern. My favorite picks are flat-back wall lanterns because they hug the wall and don’t flap in the wind. If you don’t have a wall, dress up your garden gate.

Let your creativity run wild when coming up with a display to put inside the lanterns. How about a figurine of a bird? A bird’s nest? Maybe a piece of artwork that features fall images? Or, just take some fall picks and intertwine them with strands of bittersweet. Finish off with a great seasonal bow. I’m partial to burlap ribbon because I love how it looks with the organic elements of fall.

• Front door If you have time to decorate only one outside spot this fall, make it your front door. It’s here that you set the stage, giving everyone who visits a glimpse of what they can expect inside.

If you have only minutes to spare for decorating, tap into the power of the wreath. Good in a pinch, they always look lovely. I hang mine from my door knocker.

When you hang a wreath, you can just secure it to the knocker with some zip ties or florist wire. Or you can hang it with fall ribbon. I think the ribbon adds a nice touch and gives you a chance to include a bit more color and texture.

Don’t like wreaths? Here’s another fast and easy idea: Find a bundle of

If you have time to decorate only one outside spot this fall, make it your front door. tried twigs in your backyard or at a park, cinch them together into a small bouquet, tie them up with a fall ribbon, then hang them upside down on your front door.

Sometimes understated treatments like this are the most powerful because of their simplicity.

• Garden Adding a touch of fall to your garden is easy. All you need to do is augment the display Mother Nature has already created. Pile up some pumpkins around

a tree. Fill a birdbath with gourds. Top a pillar with a pumpkin.

I use a mix of real and artificial pumpkins and gourds when I decorate my home.

I love the real pumpkins and gourds because they are so crazy-looking, full of interesting colors and imperfections.

But the fakes are so good these days, it’s often hard to tell them from the real.

And if you put up your fall decor before the weather turns cool, you don’t have to worry about them rotting.

From a seller’s point of view, contingent sale offers are risky. What if the buyers’ home doesn’t sell? Will the buyers list their home too high?

Is their home in good condition and ready to go on the market? Many sellers would rather wait for their own home to sell to a noncontingent buyer than face the uncertainty of a contingent sale offer.

Buyers who can buy another home only if their current home is sold need to convince sellers that it’s worth the risk to accept their contingent sale offer. One strategy that can work in your favor is to list your home for sale before you present an offer on the home you want to buy.

This lets the sellers know you

Rearrange your accessories to make a big change might come up with other pictureleaning places.

Do you like or have pictures that are similar in subject matter, such as florals, seascapes, country views? Arrange them all together on the same wall. Clusters of same things look good together and create a feeling of unity in the room.

Instead of pictures on the wall, try sculptures. Art that pops out of the wall is always interesting and exciting. Creating a 3-D wall makes a room burst with interest.

Are your ceilings low or is there a room in the house with a low ceiling? You know how vertical

BY ROSEMARY SADEZ FRIEDMANN Scripps Howard News Service Sometimes just rearranging the things we already own can make a big change in our homes.

Let’s explore how to display accessories in ways that perhaps we didn’t think of before.

Some pictures don’t need to be hung on the wall. Instead, they might look quite chic on a table and leaning up against a wall.

Another place to lean pictures is on shelves. And another is inside curios or glass cabinets. Think. You

stripes on clothes make you look taller and more slender? The same goes for vertical art on the walls of a low-ceiling room. OK, so it might not slenderize the room, but it will help elevate the ceiling in an illusionary manner. Place pictures, or perhaps framed mirrors, one over the other for that vertical look.

And remember, an odd number is always more interesting to look at than an even number, so three or five pictures hung vertically would be nice. If you have enough mirrors or enough of the same subject pictures, you could repeat this vertical idea in two or more

places in the room, depending on the size of the room and the wall space.

In a room that has little going on and looks rather plain, consider wrapping the doorway with art.

You’ve seen stencils around door frames, so why not create your own decor with framed pictures going up the sides and across the top of the doorway. These could be family pictures or any other subject that would be of interest to you. In a kitchen you might consider a plate collection to display as art around the doorway. Keep the subject the same, though, so

there is purpose and continuity to your work.

Speaking of doors inside your home, what about painting all the doors and woodwork around them a color other than the standard white? Pick a color that you are already using in your decor and paint the doors and trim around them that color. You will be pleased with the colorful results.

Be sure to use a washable paint because doors and their trim can get handprint dirt on them easily.

buyer who must first sell his current home, your listing agent can help to convince the sellers to accept your offer by arming the agent who’s representing you as a buyer with information that will help sell the deal.

Ask your listing agent to prepare recent sales information of listings in your area similar to yours that sold recently to show that your list price is in line with current market conditions in your area. The sellers will want to know how long on average it’s taking homes like yours to sell.

They also may want their listing agent to talk to your listing agent to confirm the information your agent provided.

Your chance of a timely sale will depend on buyer demand for homes like yours and on how many homes like yours are currently for sale in your area. In a low-inventory market where demand is high, your home may sell quickly. If there are a lot of listings in your neighborhood, you will need to be aggressive with your list price by pricing lower than your competition.

HOUSE HUNTING TIP: The sellers will want to know how long it will take for you to put your home on the multiple listing service. They are unlikely to wait a month or so for you to get your home ready for sale. As soon as you have made the decision to buy a new home and sell your current one, you should start preparing it for sale. This will make it possible for you to put

your home on the market quickly.

If you find your dream home earlier than you thought you would and your home is not ready to market, enlist your agent’s aid in lining up a crew — handyman, painter, stager, etc. — to assist you with a fast prep-forsale project. Ask friends and relatives to help with decluttering, donating what you no longer want, and packing up items to go to storage that you want to keep.

Before you make an offer, make sure you can provide the sellers with a letter from your loan agent or mortgage broker that indicates you are creditworthy and have the financial means to close the sale once your current home is sold.

Although it may seem silly, write a sincere letter to the sellers about how much you like or love their home and why you want to buy it. Sellers who have a pride of ownership and an emotional attachment to their home can be swayed in the right direction by a well-crafted letter.

THE CLOSING: Offer to pay the asking price, or more, if the market warrants it. Buyers usually pay a premium for a contingent sale offer.

Do you have children living at home, or did you a few years ago? Then you know the importance of bedtime. That regulation shouldn’t go away when we grow up. We should have a consistent time for going to bed each and every night. It doesn’t have to be 8 p.m. — after all, we are adults — but whatever time works for you, it should be consistent. Going to bed at a consistent time every night will help your body establish a regular sleep pattern.

We are bombarded with noise all day long, and noise is one of the most disruptive factors that can affect sleep.

Don’t sleep with the television on. It might be a tough habit to break, but once it’s broken; your sleep will be more restive.

Another annoyance is light. You can turn the lights off in the bedroom, but don’t ignore outside lights.

The right window treatments are a must.

A good blackout-fabric backing on your drapes will help tremendously.

Hunter Douglas has excellent shades that help absorb sound and also block light from coming into the room.

The bed itself, of course, is of paramount importance. If your mattress is over 8 years old, chances are you need a new one. If your pillow is that old, you really do need a new one. Shop around and take the time to test the mattresses offered by the different manufacturers. Don’t shop when you are tired because then each mattress will feel like the perfect one.

MIAMI VALLEY SUNDAY NEWS • WWW.TDN-NET.COM

Couple mad for midcentury decor Some dedicated to preserving spirit of ramblers, split-levels

BY LYNN UNDERWOOD Minneapolis Star Tribune Jake and Mercedes Rudh couldn’t believe their luck. The couple had coveted a cluster of 1960s flatroofed modernist houses in a Minneapolis cul-de-sac ever since discovering them while going to an estate sale a few years earlier. Now, finally, one of the homes was for sale.

The Rudhs quickly set up a showing and were excited by the original wood paneling on the living-room walls, the buffcolored stone fireplace and Danish light fixtures — all in pristine condition.

“I felt like I’d stepped into an unchanged time capsule from the 1960s,” said Jake. The Rudhs made sure it stayed that way.

After buying their onelevel home in 2009, they filled almost every room with midcentury modern furnishings they’d collected over the previous decade.

Today, an iconic leather Eames lounger reclines next to a walnut-paneled Danish stereo console. The vintage Electrohome bubble-cover turntable is playing a tune by bossa nova singer Astrud Gilberto.

Their home’s aesthetic reminds Mercedes of Uncle Bill’s penthouse apartment in the 1960s TV series “Family Affair.”

“They lived in a pretty great pad in Manhattan,” agreed Jake, noting that the couple have watched every episode and own a boxed set on DVD. The Rudhs are among a growing group of Twin Citians and others fixated on midcentury modern design. Inspired by everything from old TV shows to Atomic Ranch, a shelter magazine, they’re dedicated to preserving the spirit of their 1950s-to-1970s-era ramblers and split-levels by decorating them with sleek Danish teak furniture, beaded velvet paintings and avocado-colored appliances. These homeowners would never paint over period paneling or obliterate a stone wall.

They’ll try to restore rather than replace an original Formica countertop with granite.

Jake, a Minneapolis event DJ and host of “Transmission” on 89.3 the Current, is well known among local retro lovers through the Facebook group Twin Cities Midcentury Modern (TCMCM) that he launched in 2008. Members post photos of their finds and share

SHNS PHOTO BY MINNEAPOLIS STAR TRIBUNE/CARLOS GONZALEZ

The Rudhs’ 1965 architect-designed modernist home in Minneapolis is included in a guide on modern architecture in Minnesota. The wood paneling, walls of glass and stone fireplace are some of the original features of the 1960s home.

Real-estate resources. agents also use the site to highlight midcentury homes for sale. Today the group has more than 1,200 members, a number that continues to rise, Jake said.

The trend-setting TV show “Mad Men” has helped fuel the craze for all things retro. Jake has hosted three sold-out “Mad Men” premiere parties, where people don 1960s cocktail dresses and dapper suits. “‘Mad Men’ has been such a big influence,” Jake said. “Don and Megan’s 1960s Manhattan apartment is gorgeous.”

Fans of Atomic Ranch magazine also credit the popular periodical, which celebrates postwar ranch homes, with helping propel midcentury modern design into the mainstream.

The magazine’s founding editor, Michelle Gringeri-Brown, was working at American Bungalow magazine when she started speculating on the next hot trend in housing.

“There’s a zillion postwar homes,” she said. “We thought ranches had value, and people buying and fixing them up could use some resources and guidance to furnishing them in an appropriate way.”

The Rudhs’ retro furnishings include molded vinyl chairs and an Electrohome turntable.

Eight years later, Atomic Ranch, based in Portland, Ore., has more than 100,000 subscribers, and Gringeri-Brown and her photographer husband, Jim Brown, also have published two related coffeetable books.

Design Within Reach, CB2, Room and Board and other retailers have helped drive the popularity of sleek minimalist interior design, said GringeriBrown.

“Today, people are freely mixing vintage, reissued midcentury design and contemporary furnishings in their homes,” she said.

“Postwar design from the late 1940s to mid-1960s was mass-produced and not that expensive. You don’t have to be a wealthy art collector.”

Jake Rudh’s passion for midcentury design was ignited when he was a kid, entranced by his uncle’s space-helmet-shaped

Weltron eight-track stereo from the early 1970s. Jake started collecting brightcolored orb-shaped radios and bubble-topped turntables. Next came retro furniture to outfit his “Space Age bachelor pad.” By night, Jake was a DJ; by day, he was a picker at thrift stores, estate and garage sales. “I’ve slept in my car overnight for a Laurel floor lamp,” he said.

He got lucky at an estate sale of an art collec-

tor and snapped up two rare Alexander Calder prints. “He’s one of our favorite midcentury modern artists, and we’re always on the lookout for his works,” he said.

Jake’s also an armchair collector who frequents online sites such as Craigslist, eBay and Etsy, where he’s seen an increase in dealers buying and selling retro merchandise.

When Jake and Mercedes started dating, they would hit stores, looking for midcentury finds.

“We’ve refined our taste over the years,” she said.

“We started with kitschy items with lots of chrome.

Now we have more 1960s Danish teak, warm woods and simple lines.”

The Rudhs consider their well-preserved architect-designed home the ultimate piece in their collection. The Preservation Alliance of Minnesota has even featured it in a guide to Modern Architecture in Minnesota.

“I’m a huge preservationist of pop culture. I love retro and history, and too much of it is lost,” said Jake. “People who were raised in this era want to discard it. New generations are understanding its value more.”
