County juggling whether to reopen shuttered facility BY MELANIE YINGST Staff Writer myingst@tdnpublishing.com It’s late September, and time is ticking for Miami County Sheriff Charles Cox, who must cut the Miami County Jail population from 115 to 55 by Jan. 1, 2013. With less than 100 days until the new year, Cox said last spring’s state jail inspection placed the downtown jail as “one of the worst in the state” and said upgrades must be made to comply with federal and state health and jail codes. “I took it from the state as it could mean they could close (the downtown jail),” Cox said

MIAMI COUNTY Thursday. Under provisions of House Bill 86, in effect since last September, some felonies are now handled at the county level rather than state level, leading to the increase of the overcrowding in local jails. Cox said several inmates could be housed at other facilities for $60 a day if other jails had the room for Miami County inmates. Other options include: judges could order more ankle bracelets, although there is a limited supply of them; some could be released on

Historians, residents talk about soup kitchen move BY NATALIE KNOTH Staff Writer nknoth@tdnpublishing.com Opposition to legislation rezoning 25 N. Mulberry St. — passed at last week’s council meeting — focused mostly on the proposed use for the St. Patrick Soup Kitchen, but local historians say ensuring a look of historical cohesiveness in the neighborhood should be of utmost importance. The home at the location, owned by soup kitchen founder Dick Steineman, will be demolished to move the kitchen from 419 E.

tion of what is in a historical district or what is a historical building, now the waters get muddy,” said Purke, who also is curator of the Miami Valley Veterans Museum. “Some say … this home is not historic because it’s not written on the National Register of Historic Places — that’s true. However, the building was built in 1889 and it falls within a block of other buildings that are consistent with it in terms of architecture.” Purke considers that area of town “history corner” because the Overfield Tavern Museum, Overfield Museum Annex and Museum of Troy History all reside there.

A ground water plume in Troy made the Environmental Protection Agency’s list of hazardous waste sites in need of federal funding, but city of Troy Water Superintendent Tim Ray stressed that the city of Troy’s treated water has never exceeded the maximum contaminant level, and thus there has never been any risk to public health and safety. The contaminant PCE has been found at levels of about five to seven parts per billion at well No. 12, in the west well field. Ray pointed out that one part per billion is equivalent to one second in 32 years or one drop of water in an Olympic-size swimming pool. “None of our treated water has ever exceeded — nor come close to reaching — the limit,” Ray said. In addition, Troy has never exceeded the maximum contaminant level for any other containment. “We’ve never had a violation whatsoever in the treated water,” Ray said. Contaminants PCE and TCE,

the fiscal cliff: the combination of expiring George W. Bush-era tax cuts and automatic spending cuts that could drive the country back into recession. Two years of rancor and a divided government resulted in one of

the least productive Congresses in history. President Barack Obama piled on in his weekly radio address. “Without much fanSTAFF PHOTO/ANTHONY WEBER fare, members of the A sampling tap for a discharge line at production well No. 12 • See CONGRESS on A2 west in the Troy Community Park.

Jail • Continued from A1

REOPENING THE INCARCERATION FACILITY

their “own recognizance” and report back to the sheriff’s office; or open the 10year-old incarceration facility on County Road 25-A. “We’re bound to hold them. We work with the judges and they’ve been very cooperative and helping us when we get full,” Cox said. He said not only is his jail personnel’s safety a concern, but also officers on the street and the general safety of the public are being affected. Cox said officers lately have been unable to lock up offenders for offenses such as OVI. Instead, for example,officials are releasing offenders to family members once they receive their court papers. “It’s a difficult time right now,” Cox said. “On the weekend, it’s full. It’s definitely frustrating to those on the street who then have to find someone to pick up the person because they can’t bring them here.” Sheriff Cox said the best solution lies in the decadeold jail on County Road 25A, which closed on Dec. 31, 2009, due to funding issues. Cox said opening just two of the four available pods, which house up to 60 inmates each, would alleviate the overcrowding issue altogether. More than 20 years ago, Miami County faced a similar situation with overcrowding, which eventually led to the new facility being built. Yet before the new jail was constructed, the Miami County Sheriff’s Office had to adhere to the decision of a federal judge after inmates complained of the overcrowding conditions. “Judge (Walter) Rice (of

Estimated costs for opening two pods at the incarceration facility include: • Nearly $1.2 million in salary and benefits for employees, although Miami County Sheriff’s Office Chief Deputy David Duchak noted that not everyone would opt for the family plan. • $160,566 in one-time costs including computers, hardware, renovations and training • $244,000 in utilities, based on the 2009 figure. Duchak said this could fall to $150,000, however, because it would be for only a portion of the entire facility. • $352,990 in medical contracts, for both the downtown and reopening two pods of the County Road 25-A facility. • $303,315 for food service, also for both facilities. Jail officials have looked into costsaving measures such as serving cold breakfast. • $17,111 in office and cleaning supplies. Many of the estimates are likely considerably higher than the actual expenses, Duchak said.

the United States District Court of the Southern District of Ohio) stepped in a couple of times and we had to answer to him,” Cox said. “You lose your home rule with someone else over your shoulder all the time — that’s the worst-case scenario.” Ideally, Cox said he’d like for the repairs to be made to the 40-year-old downtown jail and house 45 inmates who are to appear in court the following day before being taken to the county facility, and he would like to see both facilities brought up to state standards. “In a perfect world, we would get (downtown jail) reduced down to the 45 and at least two pods opened at the facility and see how much of a need there is from other institutions,” Cox said. Funding could be recouped by renting 20 of the 120 beds at the Incarceration Facility to the U.S. Marshals Service or other counties. At $65 per bed, the county could earn $474,500 to offset some of the decade-old facility’s operating costs. “It’s our job that when people act up, there’s a consequence and that is to go to jail,” Cox said. “With the

inability to lock people up, it makes them free to do what they want.” Cox said it’s imperative for commissioners to come to a decision quickly. When asked if he felt as if the sheriff’s office’s hands were “tied” in the matter, Cox said he agreed. “It’s a monetary issue and the commissioners tell us whether there is or isn’t funds to operate,” Cox said. “If we have to stay here and bite the bullet, then that is what has to be done.” Cox said police chiefs around the county are waiting for the overcrowding issues to be solved as well. “Everybody is waiting to see if this is going to be resolved because this isn’t acceptable,” he said. Miami County Commissioner Dick Cultice said he and fellow commissioners don’t have a timetable to move toward a solution for both of the facilities. “We’re moving as quickly as we can,” Cultice said last week. Cultice said the jail overcrowding is “extremely high” on the priority list of the commissioners, and said he agrees with Cox that the county needs more capacity. “There are more people that need to be put away,” Cultice said. “We are trying to address all the issues and how best to proceed.”

Cultice said he’s met with Cox, Lt. David Norman, the jail administrator and Chief Deputy David Duchak several times and received the number it would take to reopen the Incarceration Facility. According to the sheriff’s office numbers, it would take three weeks to train corrections officers after the hiring process was completed. “It has to be done as quickly as possible,” Cox said. “We’re going to make sure we take every step as we do this, to do what’s best in the long-term,” Cultice said. “I anticipate we’ll meet in a week or two and continue to get up-to-date information.” “We’re still weighing our options,” said Commissioner Jack Evans, who at first deferred all questions concerning the jail issues to Cultice. “We’re asking questions, gathering information and working together on this.” Evans said he agrees that “absolutely something needs to be done” about the overcrowding at the county jail. “We obviously want to take care of our own problems in Miami County,” Evans said, adding that the budget process for the county will begin in October when the commissioners meet to set appropriations.

Despite only being closed for three years, repairs to the decade-old incarceration facility include roof repairs and venting issues. During a tour of the facility last week, the roof damage mostly was contained to the lobby entrance and would not interfere with inmates or staff. Cultice said an independent consultant has looked at the roof and throughout the building to determine what work needs to be done. Both Norman and Cultice said there are venting issues due to the open pod’s showers. Cultice said the consultant, Alesi, hasn’t submitted a bill or numbers yet to the commissioners. “No hiring has been done at this point,” Cultice said. Cultice said the original construction firm, Bruns Construction of Troy, submitted a roof repair estimate to the sheriff’s office which Cultice said he has, but wanted to explore all options and not “just put a Band-Aid on the situation.” Norman said much of the work that needs to be done, such as replacing shower tiles and general cleaning, would be done with inmate workers at the facility. Norman said many don’t understand the wear and tear a jail takes throughout the year being used 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. “Maintenance personnel say jails must be counted in ‘dog years,’” Norman said, because of the facilities’ use. Norman said the open “pod” style is safer for the inmates and corrections officers. As the number of inmates being crowded in cells increases, so do problems such as fighting and stealing, he said. Housing 14 people in a 12-person cell block causes more fighting and stealing and creates a safety issue for all involved, he added. “If you walk around, you can feel the tension and you take care of those issues before they arise,” Norman said. Norman said inmates preferred being housed at the incarceration facility because of the open space and rehabilitation programs. “We had a lot less issues here,” Norman said during the tour last Friday. Norman said inmates would be used to work on the incarceration facility once the green light is approved. “We have a lot of talented people locked up that can do good work,” Norman said, noting inmates could help retile shower areas, which were damaged due to humidity and moisture. “We can do a lot of it on our own and it seems to be a waste to have something like this just sitting here with all the issues downtown.”

• Continued from A1 House of Representatives banged a gavel, turned out the lights, and rushed home, declaring their work finished for now,” Obama told Americans, while failing to mention the Democraticcontrolled Senate. “If that frustrates you, it should because their work isn’t finished.” In the early morning hours Saturday, the Senate cleared and sent Obama a bill to keep the government running for another six months. The temporary measure is a reflection of lawmakers’ failure to complete any of the 12 spending bills by the Oct. 1 start of the fiscal year. The nation will have to wait until after the election for Congress to deal with taxes, spending cuts, the farm bill and the cashstrapped Postal Service. It comes as no surprise to lawmakers that their public approval has plummeted to about 12 percent. Members of Congress are counting on the voters, faced with a straightforward choice in the election, to decide a way forward.

EDITORIAL ROUNDUP The Denver Post on presidential candidates’ definition of “middle class”: OK, go ahead and chuckle at Mitt Romney’s definition of the middle class. He asked for it. “No one can say my plan is going to raise taxes on middleincome people, because principle number one is (to) keep the burden down on middle-income taxpayers,” Romney told ABC’s George Stephanopoulos. “Is $100,000 middle income?” Stephanopoulos asked. “No, middle income is $200,000 to $250,000 and less,” Romney said. Yes, it’s absurd. But before you split your sides, calm down and consider that President Barack Obama’s definition is not much different. And that’s not just our judgment. As The Washington Post said recently, “Obama also has set his definition for ‘middle class’ as families with income of up to $250,000 a year,” whom he’s promising to protect from a tax hike. Does the definition of middle class even matter? Yes, in the present political environment, it does, and the reason is those trillion-dollar deficits. They can’t be closed without attention to both the spending and revenue sides of the budget. However, if nearly everyone is part of the middle class, as seems to be the case under the Romney/Obama consensus, then we won’t get much revenue by either raising tax rates (Obama’s preference) or closing questionable loopholes (Romney’s preference) without giving the already beleaguered middle class a pretty rough time. Don’t get us wrong. We favor a generous definition of middle income. But how about excluding the 20 percent of households at the top of the income distribution ladder and the 20 percent at the bottom? Surely the remaining 60 percent have every right to consider themselves middle income. Chicago Sun-Times on the teacher strike: Teachers and students should keep one key fact in mind as they return to school: The new contract is an unequivocal win for students and for the thousands of top-flight teachers in Chicago. It bears repeating again and again because while the strike is over, Chicago’s teachers still must ratify the deal. And they should, without hesitation. The union’s House of Delegates ended the strike, but the 26,000 members of the Chicago Teachers Union still must weigh in. The new contract is a win for all because, among other gains, it creates a high bar for hiring teachers. This sets the stage for major changes that we hope will improve teaching and learning. Here’s how it will work: Only those teachers rated in the top two of four categories under a new, state-mandated evaluation will be eligible for teaching jobs; “developing” or “unsatisfactory” teachers are left out. Because the stakes are so high, the CTU rightly fought hard for a fair evaluation system. The contract also makes clear, per state law, that layoffs will be decided first by performance, not strictly by seniority. That means the weakest tenured teachers will be shown the door first, a huge and overdue change. The only exception, and it’s a big one, is for new, non-tenured teachers. They will continue to be laid off before tenured teachers, except for those with unsatisfactory ratings. A couple of crucial caveats must be closely watched: If there aren’t enough strong teachers for every job, Chicago may end up watering down its evaluation. The school system also must keep a tight lid on who’s eligible for a job. The new contract allows for hiring developing teachers if they meet yet-to-be-determined criteria, the union says. The contract doesn’t fix all that ails the school system. The shabby conditions in schools — a dismal student-to-social worker ratio, the need for libraries and air conditioning — aren’t remedied. But the teachers penetrated the public consciousness with these very real concerns in a deep and, we hope, lasting way.

THEY SAID IT “This is an exciting time for Troy. Not many communities our size have resources like the Hobart Community Kitchen that can ensure the most basic needs of our neighbors are met every day.” — Saint Patrick Soup Kitchen board member Greg Taylor, on the rezoning decision that will pave the way for the soup kitchen’s move to a larger facility “We’re trying to get kids fired up to help for a good cause. It’s a great opportunity to clean up the garage, basement and under kids’ beds. Last year we had two trucks filled up with furniture.” — Troy High School assistant principal Jeff Schultz, on the school’s Goodwill Drive to Victory campaign “It’s pretty cool. We clinched a share of the title tonight, and we can win it outright if we take care of business against Piqua Tuesday.” — Troy volleyball coach Michelle Owen, on her team clinching a share of the Greater Western Ohio Conference North Division

‘CoH’ players fight to save their city — for real “We’ve been saving Paragon City for eight and a half years. It’s time to do it one more time.” That was Tony Vasquez, the administrator of a collective of fan sites of the massively multiplayer online (MMO) game City of Heroes known as the Titan Networks, and one of the organizers of the “Save Paragon City” campaign. Paragon City is, of course, the setting of City of Heroes — the first and largest MMO that allowed players to create their own comic book superheroes (or villains in later expansions) and populate an online world of millions of individual users. All of whom were paying subscribers — in the beginning, at least. A few weeks ago, NCSoft — the parent company that owns Paragon Studios, the developers of City of Heroes — announced that it was letting all of the employees at Paragon Studios go and would be shutting down the game’s servers on Nov. 31, effectively denying anyone who has ever bought a copy of the game access to it. Ever again. Two weeks ago, I described just how criminal this act was on NCSoft’s part, even if, technically speaking, the company is acting within the law. When the game first came out, it was $60 to buy a copy, in addition to $10-plus subscription fees per

Josh Brown Sunday Columnist month from there on out to be allowed to play it. Meaning if someone bought the game and had remained a paying subscriber from its launch until now, they’ve spent well over $1,000 on the game. Needless to say, the game’s players were not happy to hear that, instead of a nefarious plot by a supervillain to blow up the city, Paragon City would fall because of a handful of detached, uncaring suits signing a few papers. What do the millions of people who bought the game have to show for all of the money they’ve spent over the years? The fun they were having playing the game at the time. Screenshots of the characters they’ve designed. Memories. In other words, absolutely nothing. But that’s not good enough for

Vasquez and the folks at the Titan Networks. Immediately after NCSoft’s announcement, City of Heroes’ residents leapt into action. That very day, petitions were organized to keep the game going. Social media sites like Facebook and Twitter lit up with the #SaveCoH hashtag. Fans of the game made so much noise in the days after the announcement that numerous gaming websites, blogs and magazines picked up on the movement — which only spread the message even further and helped the movement grow. They’ve been so noisy that NCSoft has evidently heard. The company met with the Paragon Studios developers recently, although no details were made public from the meeting. Whether NCSoft listens to the fans is still up in the air — and, truthfully, not very likely. But the “Save Paragon City” movement is still going strong and has a couple of — again, highly unlikely — options. One is to convince another developer or publisher to buy the rights to the game from NCSoft and keep it running from there. Which is a nice idea — except that it could be bought by a studio that already has its own superhero MMO and is looking to wipe out the competition. Another is for the play-

ers themselves to either buy the intellectual property and run the game themselves or fund the development of a “spiritual successor” — a new game that looks and plays just like City of Heroes did. Which would take many, many, many more thousands of dollars than they’ve already spent. Personally, I hope they find a way to keep their game going. I abandoned MMOs years ago because I couldn’t justify paying for something I didn’t own — for this very situation. Why spend thousands on a game that can be stolen from me at a moment’s notice by bottom line-crunching pencil pushers, when I can spend $60 on a game like Borderlands 2 and play it anytime I want 10, 20, 50 years from now? (Given the fact that I’m still alive then and my XBox 360 still functions.) City of Heroes’ fans shouldn’t have to buy the rights to the game to keep it running. They did that when they bought the game.

City of Troy Water Treatment Plant assistant plant superintendent Jeff Monce points out the area of production well No. 12 west, in the Troy Community Park, Friday. The production well is a part of the Great Miami Buried Valley Aquifer. According to Monce, the west well fields are tested quarterly for volatile organic compounds. “The city of Troy has negotiated with South Bend to obtain one of their stripping units that is no longer being used, and this unit will be installed within the next few months in Troy’s west well field to remove all

VOCs from the water pumped from that well field,” Ray said. The EPA and Ohio EPA are working to identify the source of VOC contamination. According to an EPA doc-

ument, the Superfund NPL program provides the best approach to investigate and address all of the contamination sources and associated plumes at this site to protect human health and the environment.

Soup kitchen board member Greg Taylor said he was unsure of the historical significance of the house, but said creating a look of unity in the neighborhood is very important. He added that the home in its current state would require significant investment to house the kitchen, which will be renamed Hobart Community Kitchen. The home currently houses five low-income men, who give back to the neighborhood by doing landscaping and building repairs for free or at low cost. “We recognize the new Community Hobart Kitchen will be built in the historic district,” Taylor wrote. “We will consult

heavily with the City of Troy, the historic district and even seek input from the neighbors to ensure what we build complements the neighborhood. Imagine that corner with a nice building inspired by the historic architecture of Troy, with new sidewalks, lighting and a well-landscaped yard. It certainly will be an enhancement over the house and weed-filled gravel lot that is there today.” Purke said that maintaining a look of historical integrity is key. “If something could be designed correctly by professionals who understand historic architecture, there would be nothing wrong with putting a building on that property for any use,” he said. Resident Jean Melvin of 25 N. Walnut St. said in closing comments at the Sept. 19 council meeting that she and other opponents would strive to have the rezoning overturned. “I will tell all of you that we will get a referendum against the ordinance,” Melvin said. Bryan Begg of 101 E. Water St. said residents and council members have largely overlooked the fact

more children. Last Wednesday, we had 15 to 18,” Steineman estimated. Bob Patton, director of the Overfield Tavern Museum, said he already has been working with Steineman to discuss the architecture of the new building. “Our museum is remaining netural in this whole situation. I would like to tie on that Dick Steineman is a very good friend and neighbor,” Patton said. “Architecturally, it doesn’t matter what it’s made of as long as it’s made correctly. I think it’ll work out for him for the best. He’s a wonderful person and has done very much good for the neighborhood.” Troy council member Doug Tremblay, who is president of the Troy Museum Corp., which owns the Museum of Troy History, said his approval of the rezoning of the legislation stemmed from the fact that the home did not meet the criteria of being historic. His second consideration was changing the zoning to a B-1 district. “The vote was for zoning — that’s what was supposed to be considered. I did ask Bob (Patton) and I did ask Terry (Purke), ‘Is this historic?’ It’s not historic based on official records (Ohio Historic Inventory form) — but that doesn’t mean everything,” * Your 1st choice for complete Home Tremblay said, adding that Medical Equipment other criteria include having had a famous person Lift Chairs live there, being the site of a notable event or having dis1990 W.

that the kitchen is moving from outside the Downtown Troy Historic District to inside. “The fact is the location is in a historic district — I think that’s a very salient point for those of us who live in the historic district,” Begg said, adding that it seems most supporters do not live in the district. But like many who commented at past council meetings, Begg said he takes issue not with the choice of use, but the choice of location. “You could literally build it behind my house. But this is one of the most historic corners,” Begg said. However, he didn’t agree with some of the comments expressed by his neighbors at council meetings. “I stand in opposition to the facility location only. I am saddened by the reactions of some of my other neighbors,” Begg said. “We already have it (soup kitchens) in our community. It’s not going to hurt us.” Steineman said the current soup kitchen location serves 2,000 people a month and has 67 chairs. He hopes to be able to serve 125 at a time at the new location. “We’re seeing more and

Salt surplus cuts price COLUMBUS (AP) — A newspaper reports that state and local governments saved a combined $10 million this year on road salt contracts as a result of recent mild winters and a new pooling process. The Columbus Dispatch reported Saturday that significant stores of unused salt have driven down statewide average prices from $54 a ton to $42 a ton since last winter. The newspaper reported that the Ohio Department of Transportation solicited regional rather than county-by-county bids this year because reduced demand affected the state’s ability to obtain bulk discounts.

OU wants to raze haunted building COLUMBUS (AP) — Preservationists are trying to persuade Ohio

University not to demolish an historic building that student folklore suggests is haunted. The Columbus Dispatch reported Saturday that Ohio University plans to raze the 88-year-old Ridges Building 26, or old Beacon School, before Halloween. The structure was built as a tuberculosis ward to a historically significant state mental hospital that operated on the property for more than a century beginning in 1868. It sits near a cemetery. University officials say the building is dangerous and attracts curiosityseekers and vandals. Police arrested 55 people in 36 incidents over the past five years for prowling or trespassing in the area. The Athens County Historical Society says a $300,000 state grant for demolition could be used to shore up and secure the property.

two types of volatile organic compounds, have been found entering the West Troy Contaminated Aquifer since the early 1990s, a result of dry cleaner fluids and industry solvents being dumped as far back as the ’40s and ’50s. The city of Troy monitors all production wells and finished treated water for regulated and unregulated contaminants monthly, though the EPA mandates only once a year for the untreated water. “Over the past 60 monthly samples, Troy treated water had two detections of PCE at 0.05 parts per billion (ppb), the lowest level that is detectable, and 90 percent below the MCL as regulated by the EPA,” he said. Ray pointed out that in the mid-1990s, South Bend, Ind., had similar VOC contaminants in its untreated water, exceeding 1,000 parts per billion. The city utilized air-stripping units to remove the contaminants.

GM offers big discounts to boost Volt sales DETROIT (AP) — General Motors rolled out the Chevrolet Volt two years ago with lofty sales goals and the promise of a new technology that someday would help end America’s dependence on oil. So it seemed like a good thing in August when sales of the $40,000 car set a monthly record of 2,800. But a closer look shows that things aren’t what they seem for the cutting-edge car. Sales rose mostly because of discounts of almost $10,000, or 25 percent of the Volt’s sticker price, according to figures from TrueCar.com, an auto pricing website. Other pricing services gave similar numbers, and dealers confirmed that steeply discounted Volts are selling

the average. Discounts include low-interest financing, cash discounts to buyers, sales bonuses to dealers, and subsidized leases. Americans have been slow to embrace electric cars. But the Volt’s August sales show they’re willing to buy if prices are low enough. Even so, electrics have a long way to go before they enter the mainstream and make money for car companies. Electrics and gas-electric hybrids account for just 3.5 percent of U.S. auto sales this year. GM is losing thousands of dollars on every Volt, raising the question of how long it can keep eating the steep losses. For the foreseeable future, carmakers will have to cut prices to move electric vehicles off dealer lots. The nonpartisan

pany pays in incentives, GM gets roughly $30,000 for every Volt. So it could be losing at least $30,000 per car. “It certainly wasn’t a rousing success,” says Carter Driscoll, senior analyst for CapStone Investments who follows electric cars, discussing the Volt. GM confirmed there are incentives on the Volt and that the company loses money on the car. But the automaker declined to give figures for the discounts or the losses. The figures exclude a federal tax credit that goes to buyers. The automaker says Munro’s estimate is high because it doesn’t spread the Volt’s costs far enough into the future, when more Volts will be sold.

Congressional Budget Office says the cost of electric cars must drop to be competitive with gasolinepowered ones. GM executives have conceded from the start that they were losing money on the Volt, and that was before the big discounts. Now the losses could be even higher. It costs $60,000 to $75,000 to build a Volt, including development, manufacturing and raw materials, estimates Sandy Munro, president of Munro & Associates, a Troy, Mich., a company that analyzes vehicle production expenses for automakers. Much of the cost comes from an expensive combination of two power systems electric and gasoline. With a sticker price of $40,000, minus the $10,000 the com-

Youth is served BY COLIN FOSTER Associate Sports Editor cfoster@tdnpublishing.com Troy’s Branden Nosker seized control of the No. 1 spot near the two-mile mark at Saturday’s Troy Invitational. And the Troy junior didn’t look back, passing a pair of seniors in Kings’ Aaron Matheus (16:29.30) and West Carrollton’s Stevie Sartoris (16:35.72) en route to winning the race in a time of 16:28.13. The Trojans (67 points) finished second as a team to Kings (34). “I knew there were about to be a lot of good runners. I was just trying to stay up with them,”

TROY Nosker said. “I got a feeling the last two miles, I was like ‘I can win this.’ So I passed them, and I kicked the last mile.” Nosker has made a habit out of being a front runner this year. He placed second at the Brookville Invitational on Aug 25 to open the season. Then at the Fairborn Skyhawk Invitational on Sept. 5, Nosker placed first in a time of 17:01.59. But the key on Saturday was a fast final mile. “Branden ran a real smart race,” Troy coach Bob Campbell

Trojans’ time Troy sweeps Tipp BY JOSH BROWN Sports Editor jbrown@tdnpublishing.com For years, Troy was on the verge. Then for the past three years, the Trojans and Tippecanoe Red Devils were complete strangers. All that waiting made the payoff that much more worth it for the Trojans, though, with Troy sweeping the Devils 25-15, 25-19, 25-13 as the two renewed their inter-county rivalry on Saturday at the Trojan Activities Center.

Scot Brewer figured 54 inches wasn’t too much to ask of his football team. Unfortunately for Brewer and his Troy high school football team, it was. “If you can’t get a yard and a half, you don’t deserve to win,” Brewer said. After a 20-yard touchdown run by Miles Hibbler cut Miamisburg lead to 7-6 in the fourth quarter Saturday morning in a game that had been suspended by lightning the night

Vikings shut out Bees

Just inches short Trojans go for win, instead fall to 2-3 BY DAVID FONG Executive Editor fong@tdnpublishing.com

MIAMISBURG before, the Vikings were called for an offsides penalty, giving the Trojans the conversion try from a yard and a half away. With 5:14 left to play — and given his team’s trouble scoring the previous 42 minutes — Brewer elected to go for the twopoint conversion, eschewing an extra-point attempt that likely would have led to overtime. Hibbler was stuffed on the conversion attempt, however, and the Vikings were able to hold on for the victory Saturday morning at Harmon Field. With the win, Miamisburg improved

Tipp, Milton crush opposition BY JAMES FREEMAN Sports Intern

Despite its imperfect play, Ohio State is still unbeaten on the season. Braxton Miller ran for two touchdowns and No. 16 Ohio State overcame a lethargic, mistake-filled and enigmatic effort to hold off UAB 29-15 on Saturday. See Page A11.

to 3-2, while Troy fell to a heartbreaking 2-3 — the Trojans’ three losses this season have come by a combined total of 14 points. While Troy’s failed conversion attempt in the game’s waning moments — which was set up by a blocked punt by Trojan linebacker Logan Schlosser — was the final nail in the coffin for the Trojans, Brewer said the game truly was decided when the listless Trojans played two sloppy quarters before the storms rolled in and postponed the game.

“This is the first time we’ve beat Tipp since I’ve been here,” said Troy coach Michelle Owen, who just won her 100th career match on SELBY T h u r s d a y. “We came close a couple of times during the (former Tippecanoe coach) Pat Carus years. We’d always face them in the finals of the Troy Invitational, it’d always go three games — and we’d always lose by just a couple of points. “It’s awesome for the girls to get this win. They really wanted this one, and they worked extremely hard in practice all week. It’s great when that kind of work pays off.” And nowhere did the Trojans (12-4) work harder than blocking in the front row. Troy piled up 10 blocks as a team, and countless times on Tippecanoe swings the Troy defensive front got enough of a touch to slow the ball down and make things easier on its back row — keeping the dangerous

CASSTOWN — Miami East was able to keep up their defensive pressure after a 24-hour break in play due to lightning, beating Cross County Conference foe Bethel 24-0 Saturday. “It’s always your biggest fear as a coach when you have a weather delay, wondering if you will come back the next day with the same intensity and focus,” Miami East coach Max Current said.

Trojans â&#x2013; CONTINUED FROM A8 â&#x20AC;&#x153;You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come out and play like we did (Friday) night,â&#x20AC;? Brewer said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we had played (Friday night) like we did (Saturday), we never would have been in this position. You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford to play half a game as poorly as we did and then expect to get a second chance to correct you mistakes like we did (Friday night) and come back and finish the game the next day. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to be ready to play four quarters.â&#x20AC;? Miamisburgâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only sustained drive of the game came on its very first drive Friday night, when the Vikings marched 53 yard on nine plays, scoring on a 3-yard run by Joe Dunham. From that point on, Miamisburg offense only crossed midfield again twice â&#x20AC;&#x201D; with one of those drives coming off an interception at the Trojan 24. In the second half Saturday, Miamisburg ran just 23 plays from scrimmage for a grand total of 55 yards. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We did not do smart things defensively (Friday),â&#x20AC;?

Saturday, however, it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t much matter, as the offense was able to move the ball â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Hibbler finished the game with 33 carries for 196 yards â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but stuggled to find the end zone, despite repeated opportunities deep in Miamisburg territory. After squandering a pair of scoring opportunities on Miamisburgâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s side of the field Friday â&#x20AC;&#x201D; including

first-and-10 at the Vikings 32 and first-and-goal at the Miamisburg 1 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Troy again had scoring opportunities amount to nothing Saturday in the second half. On the their first possession of the second half, Troy marched down to the Miamisburg 22, but then three running plays went backswards and the Trojans fumbled the snap

fourth down. Miamisburg fumbled on the very next play, however, and sophomore defensive end Marco Anverse pounced on it at the Miamisburg 25, giving the Trojans yet another scoring opportunity. After a holding penalty and a short run, however, Hibbler fumbled the ball right back to the Vikings. Troy didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t cash in on its myriad scoring opportunities until Schlosserâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s blocked punt gave the Trojans the ball at the Miamisburg 22 with 5:57 left to play. After a short run by Hibbler, he broke three tackles on his way to a 20-yard touchdown romp. Perhaps not wanting to face the prospect of overtime given his teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s red zone difficulties, Brewer went for the win, only to see his team fall short. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got kids who arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t taking the coaching,â&#x20AC;? Brewer said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got linemen not taking the correct steps. Even when we lost, I felt like we had been taking steps forward from week to week. Give Miamisburg credit â&#x20AC;&#x201D; they wanted a yard and a half more than we wanted a yard and a half.â&#x20AC;? And in the end, those 54 inches made all the difference in the world.

Burgbacher said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This time we had to get back on the bus this morning and go out there to play. So that was good to see us do.â&#x20AC;? The Devils kick off Central Buckeye Conference Kenton Trail Division play against Bellefontaine Friday. M-U 47, Madison 20 WEST MILTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The hardest part of MiltonUnionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s matchup against Madison was the waiting. But when the Bulldogs took the field with the score still tied 7-7 Saturday afternoon from the previous night, they were more than ready. London Cowan threw three touchdown passes, Tyler Brown ran in three more and the Bulldogs (4-1, 1-0 Southwestern Buckeye League Buckeye Division) cruised to a 47-20 victory to kick off divisional play. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The waiting was the hardest part. These are high school kids. They want instant gratification,â&#x20AC;? Milton-Union coach Bret Pearce said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They were fired up last night to play.â&#x20AC;? That carried over, though. Tyler Brown scored on runs of 23 and 5 yards to make it a 21-7 game early on Saturday, then he added a 1-yard run before the half to make the score 27-14. David Karns then scored on a 9-yard run, Alex King caught a 23-yard score from Cowan, then Cowan hit Karns from 14 yards out to make it 47-14. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We did not punt or turn the ball over until our last drive when we fumbled it away on their 1-yard line,â&#x20AC;? Pearce said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our offense was clicking on all cylinders,

and our defense played some great series. We played an all-around great game.â&#x20AC;? Covington 48, TC North 14 LEWISBURG â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Most teams that walk off the field after a 48-14 victory would be thrilled with their performance â&#x20AC;&#x201D; especially after improving to 5-0 (4-0 Cross County Conference) and beating a team who was widely considered a legitimate threat in their conference. But there wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t any celebration â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or satisfaction for that matter â&#x20AC;&#x201D; from the Covington Buccaneers in their performance in a lopsided victory over TriCounty North, who is now 32 overall and 3-1 in he CCC. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because the Buccs put together a lackluster second half effort after being up 34-0 at the half when the game was called on Friday due to weather and returning on Saturday to complete the contest. A.J. Oullette scored the Buccsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; only touchdown of Saturday on a 33-yard run, making his TD total for the game five. Bradford 48, Ansonia 14 ANSONIA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; In a rematch of the teamsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; week one non-conference game that the Railroaders won 4812, Bradford again beat Ansonia, this time 48-14 in a Cross County Conference game Saturday in Ansonia. Bradford took the contestâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opening kickoff and used its running game to drive down the field. But it was the passing game that finished off the drive as Brandon Wysong threw a 24-yard touchdown pass to James Canan to put the Railroaders up 7-0 less than three minutes into the game. Jake Cline added an 18-yard touchdown, Wysong hit Luke Hafer for a 35-yard score, Canan had a 91-yard

touchdown run immediately after a Dustin Miranda fumble recovery on defense and added touchdowns of 65, 18 and 14 yards to give Bradford a 48-0 lead before Ansonia could get anything going. Springboro 55, Piqua 0 SPRINGBORO â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Springboro Panthers finished what they started Friday night, capping off a 55-0 rout of Piqua Saturday. Springboro (5-0) led the Indians (2-3) 34-0 at the half Friday night when the game was suspended by lightning. Lehman 45, Riverside 0 SIDNEY â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Lehman defense didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t give up a single first down between Friday night and Saturday morning, shutting out Riverside 45-0.

â&#x2013; CONTINUED FROM A8 Bethel quarterback Jason Clendening had a 63yard run that appeared to be going for a touchdown before the Vikingsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Dalton Allen was able to catch him at the 14-yard line. Clendening then made a pass over the middle to Jacob Tumey to the 3-yard line, but Tumey fumbled and Miami East was able to recover. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A great hustle play by Allen to tackle the quarterback, then the goal-line defense did a whale of a job,â&#x20AC;? Current said. On the following Miami East possession, quarterback Conner Hellyer fumbled the snap, but was able to recover. Hellyer followed that play by throwing an interception to Tumey with 12 seconds remaining in the half. Bethelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attempt before the half went nowhere, though, after a sack. Miami East forced Bethel to a three-and-out to open the second half, but Hellyer threw his second interception to turn the ball back over to the Bees. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bethel didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t roll over on a Saturday night,â&#x20AC;? Current said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They came to play some ball.â&#x20AC;? After another Bethel punt, Miami East was able to push the lead to 24-0 when Ross Snodgrass kicked a 36-yard field goal. The Bees continued to try to move the ball in the air on the Vikings until the last minute, driving into Miami East territory with less than two minutes to go in the game, but the defense was able to prevent Bethel from crossing the goal line to preserve the shutout. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We definitely have some things we need to work on for next week,â&#x20AC;? Current said. Miami East will need to secure the football next week as they travel to CCC rival â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and undefeated â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Covington. Tipp 50, Ben Logan 6 BELLEFONTAINE â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Cameron Johnson nearly had 200 yards on only seven carries as Tippecanoe (5-0) scored fast and furious in a 50-6 victory over Ben Logan Saturday.

Tippecanoe coach Charlie Burgbacher said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It may look like we gave up a lot of yards, but we had a one-play scoring drive and a two-play one.

■ CONTINUED FROM A8 said. “We had talked about not going out too hard and just keeping contact because we knew the Kings guys would be up there. Springfield Shawnee was entered, but they didn’t bring their varsity. We knew it was going to be (him) racing against the guys from Kings. Branden made a move just past two miles, right before you’re going up the hill, and took the lead there. He just ran strong the rest of the way. His third mile was a little bit faster than his second mile, which is good for this course.” Including Nosker, Troy had four runners in the top 13 with times of 17:25 or better. Senior Jon Osman placed fifth (16:54.17), freshman Stephen Jones finished eighth (17:10.50) and Blake Guillozet (17:25.95) crossed the finish line in 13th. Josh Spayde (18:52.35) was the fifth runner in, finishing 46th. Other Troy finishers were Alex Meier (54th, 19:07.32) and Nathan Fleischer (56th, 19:08.59). “The top four were strong, but we’ve got a big gap there,” Campbell said. The story, however, could have been different for Troy with a healthier roster. The Trojans were

little more patient and hold back at the early stages of the race and then work their way up. We discussed that after some of our earlier season meets when I thought they were going out a little too hard to open. I think that strategy paid off today.” Though it was Kings running away with the team title (25 points), Troy’s top five runners finished in the top 23 spots. Natalie Snyder placed 11th (21:40.15), while Katie-Grace Sawka took 20th (22:28.08) and Cristina Dennison finished 23rd (22:33.60). Also for the Trojans, Lindsay Smith placed 27th (22:53.84) and Angela Dennison came in 33rd (23:32.55). “It’s always nice to do well at your home invite,” Alexander said. “There’s nothing wrong with that. I was very pleased with how well the girls performed. We knew coming off times last week that times would be slower because it’s a different course. But they were mentally ready for that and willing to get out there and compete as opposed to just worrying about times.” Troy runs at the Miami County Invitational Saturday at the Lowry Complex.

Troy freshman Rachel Davidson finished second at the Troy Invitational Saturday. without two of their top seven runners in Troy Schultz and Alek Prus. Even Nosker has had to fight health issues as he diagnosed with pneumonia just a week ago. “Troy just has some health things to get through,” Campbell said. “Plus, I would have probably held him out anyway. He had a little soreness in his foot at the beginning of the week. I lost my No. 6 guy, Alek Prus. He’s got a stress fracture in his foot. And then Troy comes up with a sore foot, and we can’t afford to risk anything at this point. Hopefully, we’ll have them back by the end of the year.” And once the postseason rolls around, the health of the Trojans may make all the difference in the world.

• Troy Girls 2nd It was a little youth and experience leading the charge for Troy in the girls race. Freshman Rachel Davidson placed second (20:38.51) and senior Caitlyn McMinn finished ninth (21:31.75) to help the Trojans to a silver medal with 59 points. “Rachel Davidson is really coming on,” Troy girls coach Kevin Alexander said. “She’s a freshman, but it’s almost like she has the experience of a senior already. She knows not to go out too hard and gradually works her way up throughout the entire race. She gets stronger as the race goes on. “Caitlyn McMinn and Natalie Snyder, who were our numbers two and three today, I told them to be a

■ CONTINUED FROM A8 Trojan offense in system in the process. “That’s a credit to the girls and how hard they worked on our scouting report,” Owen said. “We knew Tipp liked to set the high middle ball, so we really worked on our timing and setting up that block well. We knew if we could take their middles out of the game, the rest of our personnel could outscore the rest of theirs.” And on the flip side, Troy’s hitters consistently drove kills off of the Tippecanoe (5-8) blockers, either driving them off the top of the block and out the back or off the edges and out the side. “Early on, our blocks were there. They just weren’t penetrating. We couldn’t get the ball down,” first-year Tippecanoe coach Alexis Dedrick said. “We struggled to get any kind of power today.” Troy knew where to find its power. Jenna Selby. The Trojan senior thundered down 15 kills and two aces in the match, and although the Troy offense was balanced, Selby was the goto hitter whenever Troy needed a big point. “They did (go to Selby a lot),” Dedrick said. “We knew they would, but it’s hard to say what we could have done different.” Emily Moser added nine kills, three blocks and eight digs, Lauren Freed had six kills, five digs and an ace and Jen Monnier had five kills and a block. Jillian Ross had a huge day with five blocks and three kills, setter Mackenzie Rice added three kills, dished out 32 assists and had

six digs, Cassie Rice had 13 digs and an ace, Abby Brinkman had five digs and two aces, Ashton Riley had two digs and an ace and Leah Selby had a kill and a dig. “I told the girls that we haven’t played each other for three years, so Tipp will be just as fired up as we are,” Owen said. “We knew we had to come out with high energy and play our game. I thought we served tough and kept them out of system.” Halee Printz had five kills and two digs, Hannah Losey had five kills and a block, Lydia Schneider had four kills, two aces and two digs, Erin Jans had three kills and two blocks, Alyssa Crusey had three kills and four digs, Hannah Budding had 18 assists and three digs and Emily Layman had 11 digs for Tippecanoe, which has now lost five straight during a particularly grueling stretch of its tough schedule. Those five teams — Kenton Ridge, Chaminade Julienne, Ben Bellefontaine, Logan and Troy — had a combined record of 4720 entering Saturday, including Ben Logan’s 12-0 record as the No. 4 team in the state in Division II. And it doesn’t get easier for the Devils, either. They face another familiar rival in Alter — which is the No. 16 team in D-II — on Monday. The rivalry matches don’t stop for Troy, either. The Trojans travel to Piqua on Tuesday looking to win the Greater Western Ohio Conference North Division title — which they already have clinched at least a share of — outright with a victory.

East wins Piqua Invite BY ROB KISER Ohio Community Media rkiser@dailycall.com Defending Division III State champion Miami East has handled every challenge this year like champions, and Saturday was no exception as the Vikings rolled through some strong competition at the Piqua Invitational in impressive fashion to improve to 13-0 on the season.

PIQUA Lehman finished third in the tournament, host Piqua was fifth and Graham finished eighth. “I was really excited about this stretch in the schedule to see how we were going to handle it,” Miami East coach John Cash said. “And the kids played great all day. We had a strong TriCounty North team Thursday and then this tournament today. Next week we have Urbana (Monday), a league match with National Trail (Tuesday) , then Lehman (Thursday) and defending D-II state champion Bishop Hartley (Saturday) — so we are definitely running the gauntlet.” Even against a Final Four-caliber team in the championship match in Coldwater, the Vikings made quick work of things with a 25-16, 25-12 win. “Coldwater is a very good team,” Cash said. “We fully expect them to be in the state tournament — they are that good. One of the things today was I thought we served really well.” And Coldwater found the imposing presence of 6-foot1 senior Leah Dunivan at the net, altering what the Cavaliers wanted to do offensively. Dunivan finished the match with four blocks.

Miami East’s Ashley Current tips the ball over the net Saturday against Graham at the Piqua Invitational. “We call that ‘the Dunny Wall’,” Cash said. “She definitely had Coldwater rolling it and tipping it, and when that happens, good things are going to happen.” With the Vikings’ depth, that turns a difficult task for opponents into an impossible one. Dunivan also had three kills, one ace and two digs against the Cavaliers, while Abby Cash led the hitters with seven kills, three digs, one block, 11 assists and one dig. Sam Cash had six kills, one block, one ace, 10 assists and four digs, Trina Current had four kills, three blocks and one dig, Angie Mack had three kills, one ace and one dig, Angie Millhouse had eight digs and one ace, Ashley Current had one kill and Allison Morrett had eight digs. Miami East opened the day with a 25-8, 25-5 win over Graham. Morrett had a 17-point serving run in that match, which included five aces and added six digs. Dunivan led a balanced hitting attack with six kills, served six aces and added a block. Abby Cash had five kills, led

the servers with eight aces and added one dig, Sam Cash had four kills, one ace, four digs and dished out 12 assists, Mack had four kills, one ace and two digs, Trina Current had four kills, one block and one dig, Millhouse had three aces and three digs and Ashley Current added one kill and one ace. In the semifinals, East disposed of Miamisburg in a battle of Vikings 25-10, 2515. Trina Current led a wellbalanced attack with seven kills, while Dunivan had five kills, two aces, three blocks and one assist. Abby Cash dished out 14 assists to go with four kills, one ace, one block and three digs, Sam Cash served 12 aces to go with six kills and two digs, Mack had four kills, Ashley Current added three and Millhouse served one ace and added nine digs. Lehman, again playing without middle Ellie Waldsmith (concussion), had an up-and-down day. Lehman handled Bellefontaine 25-17, 25-17, lost to Coldwater 25-19, 2515 and finished with a 25-9, 25-16 win over Miamisburg.

Reds’ Mr. Clinch Bruce helps Cincy wrap up division title CINCINNATI (AP) — Jay Bruce was Mr. Clinch again, hitting the homer that got the Reds’ championship party started on the second try. Bruce’s 34th homer put the Reds ahead to stay, and they made good on their second chance to win the NL Central title by beating the Los Angeles Dodgers 60 on Saturday without Dusty Baker, who was missed in the frothy beerand-champagne shower in the clubhouse. The 63-year-old manager spent another day in a Chicago hospital getting treated for an irregular heartbeat. The Reds brought him his fifth division title as a manager, including two during the last three years with Cincinnati. “He is here everywhere,” owner Bob Castellini said, looking around the dripping clubhouse. “He is here

in spirit, and everybody knows he’s here. We hope to see him tomorrow.” He missed a clinching game that featured a familiar swing. Bruce’s first-pitch, leadoff homer in the ninth off Houston’s Tim Byrdak clinched the title for Cincinnati in 2010. On Saturday, he led off the fourth inning with a firstpitch homer off rookie Stephen Fife (0-2), and Cincinnati’s main offseason pitching acquisition made it stand up. Mat Latos (13-4) allowed six hits and didn’t walk a batter in eight innings. Left-hander Aroldis Chapman made his first appearance since Sept. 10 a tired shoulder had sidelined him and finished it off by getting Hanley Ramirez to hit into a double play off a 99 mph fastball. The celebration was on,

though more subdued than the one two years ago. “A couple of years ago, we were a surprise,” said Joey Votto, who was the NL MVP that season. “It kind of crept up on us. We didn’t expect it. This year, we felt we had something to prove.” As the Reds pulled away, second baseman Brandon Phillips pretended he was shaking a bottle of champagne and spraying it everywhere while sitting on the bench in the dugout. Phillips says the only other time he’s had champagne was during the 2010 clubhouse celebration. Cincinnati became the first team in the majors to clinch a division title this season, leaving it with one goal left. The Reds are vying with Washington for the NL’s top seed in the playoffs, both with 92 wins that lead the majors.

Troy hammers Greenville, 8-0 Staff Reports

MIAMI COUNTY

GREENVILLE — Troy traveled to Greenville for a Greater Western Ohio Conference North Division contest Saturday. The game, however, turned out to be no contest as the Trojans coasted to an 8-0 victory, improving to 2-0 in GWOC North play with a game against Miamisburg up next on Monday. For Troy (8-2-0), Madison Burchfield and Leah Soutar each had two goals and one assist, Ashley Rector had two goals, Kasey Copas and Kina Sekito both added one goal and one assist. Alexis Hull had two assists, while Cierra Sutherland and Marisa Mowery each added one. Lehman 2, Newton 1 PLEASANT HILL — Lehman stayed unbeaten Saturday with a 2-1 victory over Newton. The Cavaliers got their first goal of the game compliments of Sarah Titterington on an assist by Marla Schroeder. Sara Fuller scored the other Lehman goal off an assist by Titterington. Lehman improves to 80-0 on the season, while Newton drops to 5-4-1. • Boys Troy 1, Tecumseh 1 NEW CARLISLE — Troy and Tecumseh both had chances to pull away. But when the final horn sounded, the game ended in a 1-1 draw Saturday. “The game was back and forth,” Troy coach Richard Phillips said. “They had chances and we had chances. The wind didn’t help anyone. They couldn’t play their game, we couldn’t play ours.” No goal was credited with an assist during the

game. The wind, though, did play a factor in both goals. Tecumseh’s Robbie Russell scored on a corner kick in the first half. Then it was Troy’s Dakota Hampton scoring on a free kick in the second to even the score. The Trojans (3-2-4) continue Greater Western Ohio Conference North Division play on Tuesday against Trotwood. Tipp 0, Wayne 0 HUBER HEIGHTS — The No. 1 priority for Tippecanoe against Wayne was stopping Marquis Payton. Well, Zach Vinski took care of that. Payton — who came into the game leading the Greater Western Ohio Conference in scoring with 20 goals and seven assists — was shut down by Zinski and the Tipp ‘D’ as the two teams played to a 0-0 draw Saturday. “We moved Zach Vinski in back and he marked that Payton kid the whole game,” Tippecanoe coach Scott Downing said. It was an impressive showing by the Red Devils (7-1-1) considering how good Wayne has been this season, going 8-0-2 through 10 games. Helping matters was a solid performance in goal by Ryan Pignatiello, who had 14 saves in the game. Newton 1, Lehman 1 PLEASANT HILL — Newton and Lehman played to a 1-1 draw on Saturday. Daniel Vance scored Newton’s lone goal on an assist by Mitchell Hussong. Lehman’s goal was scored by Louis Gaier in the first half.

Dillon 1st in Nationwide race SPARTA, Ky. (AP) — As Austin Dillon proved again at Kentucky Speedway, being good creates its own fate. Although misfortune by Ricky Stenhouse Jr. and Elliott Sadler factored in the outcome of the Nationwide Series race Saturday, Dillon’s ability to take advantage resulted in victory. Starting on the pole and always in contention, the rookie positioned himself to pass Sadler when his

teammate’s Chevy fell off the pace with steering issues with 50 laps left. Nothing lucky about that. “It wasn’t a gift by (any) means,” Dillon said after leading the final 50 laps to complete a season sweep at the 1.5-mile oval. “We had a great car in practice, we adjusted on it (Friday) and today and it got really good. We’re in victory lane and proud to represent the speedway with the sweep.”

Another ugly victory Late Miller TD helps OSU escape past UAB COLUMBUS (AP) — Despite its imperfect play, Ohio State is still unbeaten on the season. Braxton Miller ran for two touchdowns and No. 16 Ohio State overcame a lethargic, mistake-filled and enigmatic effort to hold off UAB 29-15 on Saturday. Coach Urban Meyer narrowed the problems to “offense, defense and special teams,” expressed his disappointment and said his players have to get dramatically better before opening Big Ten play at No. 21 Michigan State on Saturday. He also reminded fans in so many words that he is no miracle-worker and that it was only a year ago that the Buckeyes were 6-7. “You’ve got to think about where this team was, now. This is not a finely tuned machine right now, it hasn’t been for a while,” he said. “Obviously, there’s some growing pains and it’s not as easy. I thought we’d be further ahead.” UAB (0-3) more than held its own against the Buckeyes (4-0), who committed drive-killing penalties, had a punt blocked for a touchdown and had trouble scoring against a defense that gave up 44 points and 477 yards in its first two games. “We’re not playing to our potential,” wide receiver Corey Brown said. “Especially after a wakeup

call like that, we’ve got to come out (this week) and practice hard.” There was plenty of blame to go around. “We weren’t as aggressive as last week,” Ohio State defensive lineman Johnathan Hankins said. “I feel like some guys have got to know their place, their schemes, when they’re out there.” The Blazers scored on special teams and started the second half by recovering an onside kick, but were undone by four chop-block penalties and a giveaway that led to a score. “Moral victories are OK, but we really wanted to come back with a W,” Blazers running back Darrin Reaves said. Miller completed passes for 12, 14 and 18 yards and ran for 26 yards to set up his clinching 1-yard TD run with 5:03 left. It was yet another curious performance by the Buckeyes. They have struggled in all four of their nonconference home games, having to come from behind last week before beating California 35-28 on a late defensive gaffe. Miller completed 12 of 20 passes for 143 yards and rushed for 64 yards on 11 carries. Jordan Hall gained 105 yards on 17 carries. Ohio State was a 37point favorite against UAB, which had lost at home to in-state rival Troy 39-29 in

its opener and then been pounded 49-6 by No. 8 South Carolina a week ago. Yet UAB outgained the Buckeyes, 403-347 and had more first downs 22-20. “We seem like a very passive team,” Meyer said. “They didn’t score a touchdown on our defense but we give up a lot of yardage. That hurts. I sit there and I’m pained watching it. On offense our explosiveness is obviously nonexistent for much of the game. If it was one thing we could make adjustments and fix it, it’s more than one thing right now.” UAB’s Austin Brown completed 21 of 35 passes for 196 yards with one interception, while Jonathan Perry hit on 7 of 11 passes for 63 yards before leaving after a quarter. The Blazers, down by nine points at the half, showed some moxie against a ranked opponent by kicking onside and recovering the ball easily. Ty Long made his third field goal of the afternoon for UAB to cut the gap to 2115 early in the fourth quarter. After floundering for the entire half, the Buckeyes finally got untracked to put the game out of reach, going on a 71-yard drive that ended with Miller picking his spot and bulling in off left tackle on a 1-yard carry. Miller then raced around the left end for the 2-point

conversion and the final 14point margin. Doran Grant’s interception ended the next UAB possession and the Blazers’ hopes. UAB quickly grabbed a 9-0 lead, quieting a crowd of 105,019. Meyer, who has taken over coaching Ohio State’s special teams, was particularly miffed after the Blazers broke through easily and blocked a punt before it got to the toe of Ben Buchanan. Linebacker Jesse Parrish was credited with the block, with receiver Nick Adams scooping up the loose ball and running 20 yards for the touchdown. “We told our kids that we were going after the first one, that we were sending everybody and we would score a touchdown,” he said. “It happened just as planned.” After Long’s 47-yard field goal pushed the lead to nine points, the Buckeyes went 75 yards to score on a 1-yard plunge by Rod Smith. But the Blazers came right back to make it 12-7 in the half when Long converted a 54-yard field goal the longest in UAB history and the third-longest by an Ohio State opponent at Ohio Stadium. From there, however, everything unraveled for the Blazers. It took just 2:42 for the Buckeyes to grab a 21-12 lead.

ing, Cross County Conference teams Covington and Miami East duked it out at the George Rogers Clark Invitational.

TODAY IN HISTORY (AP) — Today is Sunday, Sept. 23, the 267th day of 2012. There are 99 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Sept. 23, 1952, Sen. Richard M. Nixon, R-Calif., salvaged his vice-presidential nomination by appearing live on television to refute allegations of improper campaign fundraising. (The address became known as the “Checkers” speech because of Nixon’s on-air reference to

the family pet, a dog named “Checkers.”) On this date: In 1806, the Lewis and Clark expedition returned to St. Louis more than two years after setting out for the Pacific Northwest. In 1846, Neptune was identified as a planet by German astronomer Johann Gottfried Galle. In 1932, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia was founded. In 1957, nine black students

who’d entered Little Rock Central High School in Arkansas were forced to withdraw because of a white mob outside. In 1981, the Reagan administration announced plans for what became known as “Radio Marti.” One year ago: Pope Benedict XVI, visiting his native Germany, met with victims of sexual abuse by priests and expressed “deep compassion and regret,” according to the Vatican.

Desalination no panacea for water woes MARINA, Calif. (AP) — In the Central California coastal town of Marina, a $7 million desalination plant that can turn salty ocean waves into fresh drinking water sits idle behind rusty, locked doors, shuttered by water officials because rising energy costs made the plant too expensive. Far to the north in wellheeled Marin County, plans were scrapped for a desalination facility despite two decades of planning and millions of dollars spent on a pilot plant. Squeezing salt from the ocean to make clean drinking water is a worldwide phenomenon that has been embraced in thirsty California, with its cycles of drought and growing population. There are currently 17 desalination proposals in the state, concentrated along the Pacific where people are plentiful and fresh water is not. But many projects have been stymied by skyrocketing construction costs, huge energy requirements for running plants, regulatory delays and legal challenges over environmental impacts on marine life. Only one small plant along

Robert James of the California American Water company looks over water samples at a desalination plant in Sand City, Calif., Sept. 13. Not long ago, the idea of squeezing salt from the ocean to make clean drinking water was embraced warmly in thirsty California with its cycles of drought and growing population. But it has not panned out the way many hoped. Monterey Bay is pumping out any drinking water. From Marin County to San Diego, some water districts are asking themselves: How much are we willing to pay for this new water? “We found that our demand for water had

dropped so much since the time we started exploring desalination, we didn’t need the water,” said Libby Pischel, a spokeswoman for the Marin Municipal Water District. “Right now, conservation costs less than desalination.” Desalination plants can

take water from the ocean or drill down and grab the less salty, brackish water from seaside aquifers. Because of their potential impacts to marine life, the California Coastal Commission reviews each project case-by-case. There was great fanfare

in 2009 when the last regulatory hurdle was cleared to build the Western Hemisphere’s largest desalination plant in Carlsbad, north of San Diego. At the time, it was proposed that the $320 million project would suck in 100 million gallons of seawater and be capable of producing 50 million gallons of drinking water a day. It was expected to come online by this year. Since then, the plant owner, Poseidon Resources LLC, has been negotiating a water purchase agreement and is close to clinching a 30-year deal with the San Diego County Water Authority, a wholesaler to cities and agencies that provide water to 3.1 million people. The compact is essential for Poseidon to obtain financing to build what has become a $900 million project, which includes the seaside plant and a 10-mile pipeline. The San Diego agency hopes the plant opens in 2016 and anticipates desalination will account for 7 percent of the region’s supply in 2020. It estimates the cost is com-

parable to other new, local sources of drinking water, such as treated toilet water or briny groundwater. Interest is still high, but “people are realizing that desalination isn’t a magic fix to the state’s water issues,” said coastal commission water expert Tom Luster. Water can be de-salted in different ways. Poseidon’s project will use reverse osmosis. Other plants shoot ocean or brackish water at high pressure through saltremoving membrane filters. Because pumps must be used constantly to move massive amounts of water through filters, these facilities are extremely energy intensive. Also, in many cases, desalinated water is pricier than importing water the old-fashioned way — through pipes and tunnels. And it is cheaper to focus on conservation when possible: new technologies like low-flow toilets and stricter zoning laws that require less water-intensive landscaping have helped curb demand in communities throughout the state.

Spaceport is built in New Mexico, but who will come? TRUTH OR CONSEQUENCES, N.M. (AP) — New Mexico Tourism Secretary Monique Jacobson says it will be New Mexico’s Sydney Opera House. Virgin Galactic Chairman Richard Branson has hinted it will host the first of his new brand of lifestyle hotels. And the eclectic hot springs town of Truth or Consequences has been anxiously awaiting all the economic development the nearly quarter-of-abillion-dollar project is supposed to bring to this largely rural part of southern New Mexico. But as phase one of Spaceport America, the

world’s first commercial port built specifically for sending tourists and payloads into space, is nearing completion, the only new hotel project that has been finalized is a Holiday Inn Express here in Truth or Consequences, about 25 miles away. And three key companies with millions of dollars in payroll have passed on developing operations in the state. The lagging development, along with competition from heavy hitters like Florida and Texas, is raising new questions about the viability of the $209 billion taxpayer-funded project as well as the rush by so

many states to grab a piece of the commercial spaceport pie. To date, nine spaceports are planned around the United States, mostly at existing airports, and another 10 have been proposed, according to a recent report from the New Mexico Spaceport Authority. “Right now, the industry is not there to support it,” Alex Ignatiev, a University of Houston physics professor and adviser to space companies, said of the list of planned and proposed spaceports across America. Andrew Nelson, COO of XCOR Aerospace, disagrees, saying “in the next

couple to three years, there’s going to be a demonstrative reduction in the cost to launch stuff … so we are going to have a lot more people coming out of the woodwork.” Currently, the Spaceport can count on two rocket companies that send vertical payloads into space and Virgin Galactic, the Branson space tourism venture that says it has signed up more than 500 wealthy adventurers for $200,000per-person spaceflights. Other leaders in the race to commercialize the business and send tourists into space have been passing on New Mexico.

For example, XCOR Aerospace, which manufactures reusable rocket engines for major aerospace contractors and is designing a two-person space vehicle called the Lynx, has twice passed over New Mexico in favor of Texas and Florida. Most recently, it announced plans to locate its new Commercial Space Research and Development Center Headquarters in Midland, Texas. Another company, RocketCrafters, Inc., passed over New Mexico for Titusville, Fla. And the space tourism company of SpaceX, is looking at basing

a plant with $50 million in annual salaries to Brownsville, Texas. Locally, officials blame the lack of new businesses on the legislature’s refusal to pass laws that would exempt spacecraft suppliers from liability for passengers should the spacecraft crash or blow up. When New Mexico was developing Spaceport in partnership with Virgin Galactic, it passed a law to exempt the carrier through 2018, but not parts suppliers. Colorado, Florida, Texas and Virginia have adopted permanent liability exemption laws for both carriers and suppliers.

Troy High School seniors, Madison Burchfield, left, and Lauren Dunfee check their homecoming costumes in the mirror.

Heroes and Villians Seniors pick homecoming costumes BY NATALIE KNOTH Staff Writer nknoth@tdnpublishing.com Once a year, seniors at Troy High School get decked out in snazzy costumes and treat themselves to a fun night out. No, this isn’t Halloween. It’s the annual homecoming dance. “We don’t have to look all nice. Well, we do, but it’s fun,” said Madison Burchfield, 17, who will be going as Tinker Bell with date Cameron Anderson as Peter Pan. This year’s theme is “Heroes and Villains” — a choice made by the senior cabinet, said Leah Hampshire, the group’s co-adviser, along with Megan Ferrell. Students jot down their costume selections by the senior bench to ensure no two people have the exact same costumes. Seniors say they look forward to dressing up since their freshman year. “You’re not required — you want to,” Burchfield said. The twist on homecoming night is a tradition that is perceived as strictly seniors-only. In fact, seniors with a younger significant other sometimes opt to go with another senior so they can still don couples’ costumes. Or, the younger party simply wears a traditional formal dress. “Even if people have a girlfriend or boyfriend, they take a senior date so they can dress together,” explained Andrew Baptist, 18, who is attending with Jenna Selby. They have Wizard

of Oz costumes planned — Baptist as the Lion, Selby as the Wicked Witch of the West. As for how he decided to wear a lion costume, Baptist quipped, “She told me.” Principal Bill Overla had nothing but positive things to say about the senior class. “Here’s the bottom line: We’ve got the best seniors we’ve ever had,” Overla said. “They’ve done a great job of organizing and building a sense of community.” The idea of hosting a themed homecoming for seniors came about a few years ago, when students donned cowboy hats for the Western-themed dance. “They loved it so much that the class wanted to do something every year,” Overla said, adding that it’s not just a small group that partakes in the theme. Rather, it tends to be widely followed — with some wiggle room. Ian Nadolny, 18, and his date Cierra Sutherland will be going as “a sailor guy and sailor ABOVE: Troy High School girl.” The costume selecsenior Andrew Baptist tion process was pretty looks over a senior signsimple, he maintains. up board next to the sen“She got a costume ior bench Wednesday at book and chose this one,” the school.

with my long dark hair, and my date has long black hair like Aladdin,” Dunfee said. “Jasmine’s hair is in a poof thing and a bun, so I’m going to get it done.” In an effort to build “Trojan Family” spirit, school clubs will be making homecoming banners, designed either in the style of the club or the Heroes and Villains theme. In the past, each grade made a sign in a particular color, but this year, senior cabinet members wanted to increase club participation. Banners will be hung around the railings for the football game, then in the hallways Friday for spirit day and finally in the gym for the dance Saturday, Sept. 29. Homecoming is the only dance open to all grade levels. (The midwinter dance is open to sophomores and older, while prom is reserved for juniors and seniors only.) “That’s our largest dance — about 500 to 600 tickets sold,” Overla said of homecoming. “We take attendance. Parents are very appreciative of that.” With a diverse cast of characters, homecoming is sure to be an epic night. “You can tell, you can feel it,” Overla said. “You can feel the camaraderie.”

IT HAPPENED YEARS AGO BY PATRICK D. KENNEDY For the Troy Daily News 25 Years Ago:: Sept. 23-Oct. 6, 1987 • MIAMI COUNTY — Two old Miami County organizations are merging in order to streamline their efforts and become more efficient with funds. The Miami County Chapter of the American Red Cross (Troy) and the Piqua Chapter of the American Red Cross have decided to combine their eforts after 70 years of like, but separate work. Both chapters were organized soon after America entered World War I in 1917 and continued to realize a strong presence and important accomplishments throughout the Influenza Epidemic, the Depression, World War II and after. Lucy Fess, the President of the Piqua chapter will become the new organization’s leader in January when the two groups officially merge. The new Red Cross will be headquartered at Dettmer Hospital, between Troy and Piqua. • TIPP CITY — Many of Tipp City’s leaders believe the use of tax abatements is an excellent tool to assist the city’s growth and continued development, especially by enticing new industry. City Manager Greg Horn and Councilman Tom Dysinger both feel the ‘tool’ can help keep Tipp City on the cutting edge when trying to encourage business location and development in the community. Companies try to find the best location to manufacture their product, but they are also on the lookout for those extra ‘helps’ which might assist them in beginning their respective business. The Tipp leaders did define the use of the abatements as something to sweeten the pot, but not after the fact. If a business has decided to come to the community and perhaps has already constructed their

HIGHLIGHT IN HISTORY 100 Years Ago: Sept. 23-Oct. 6, 1912 • TROY — The Miami Manufacturing Co. is Troy’s newest industry and appears to be off to a great start. The concern’s principal product is overalls and they already have a large workload set before them. The company runs about 35 machines and employs 50 women.

facility and then wants to use the abatement as an advantage, then the council will probably say, “no.” But, if it is an actual motivator to help an industry with it decision to come to our community, then “yes.” Dysinger also noted that although most abatements are used with industry, he could see possibilities with smaller businesses and even residential abatements. The one drawback is the city leaders believe each case needs to be studied and dealt with on its own merits and that can take time. 50 Years Ago: Sept. 23-Oct. 6, 1962 • MONROE TOWNSHIP — The Miami County Planning commission has granted Roy Detrick the right to develop a small tract of land south of Michaels Road. The tract would be developed into eight lots, tentatively named Detrick Subdivision No. 1. Also noted on the map presented to the commission was a new road to be known as Detrick Rd. • MIAMI COUNTY — According to Miami County Common Pleas Court Judge David S. Porter, the Board of Education has the right to require children to be immunized, even if the parents of a child reject the idea. Such was Judge Porter’s decision in the case of Kim Mack vs. The Board of Education in Covington. Judge Porter stated in his decision that new legislation did not

specifically allow a child to attend a school if a parent rejected the idea of immunization, therefore, a school has the right to require immunization or banning of a non-immunized child from attendance. Although their is room for an appeal Dr. Mack stated there would be none. 75 Years Ago: Sept. 23-Oct. 6, 1937 • TROY — Miss Elizabeth Montross will study voice while attending the Erskine Finishing School for Girls on Beacon Hill in Boston, Massachusetts. She and her mother, Mrs. F.C. Montross, recently left for the east. Miss Elizabeth, who is one of the most recent graduates of Troy High School, will be under the watchful eye of the head of the Boston Conservatory of Music. • MONROE TOWNSHIP — Another destructive fire damaged one of our area farms when a blaze hit the William Cottrell farm on Kerr Road. Damaged in the fire was a large tobacco shed and a good quantity of feed, hay, straw and farm implements. In addition, about eight hogs were lost in the fire. It is believed the conflagration was ignited by the spotaneous combustion of some hay stored in the shed on top of oats. The Cottrell family was away for the evening and the West Milton fire department was called too late to save the shed and livestock, but they did a fine job of insur-

100 Years Ago: Sept. 23-Oct. 6, 1912 • BRANDT — Many people in our community are feeling low at the news that Charles Billet, the well-known local grocer, is selling his enterprise and leaving the area. We understand he has sold his grocery firm to William Bodiker. We will miss the friendly meetings and good deals which Mr. Billet supplied to the members of the community and are trusting the business will continue in much the same fashion under Mr. Bodiker’s management. Charles Billet will stay in the area until the end of the current school term, so be sure to wish the best. • MIAMI COUNTY — Judge Walter Jones granted naturalization papers to four individuals on Monday (Sept. 23). These men came to America from across the Atlantic and now call the United States “home sweet home.” The men are Ernest Simpson of Piqua, a native of Scotland; Thomas A. Hargreaves, a Piqua school teacher and a native of England; Antonio B. Gallise of Bradford, born in Italy; and George B. Gurklies of Tipp City, who is a native of Germany. Congratulations to our four newest citizens! 120 Years Ago: Sept. 23-Oct. 6, 1892 • TROY — A rough group of young men made their way down Grant St. about 1 o’clock in the morning yesterday (Sept. 28th) and caused all kinds of disturbances for the residents with their blasphemy and rough talk. Fortunate for them they did not encounter the police, or they may have been spending the night in town, courtesy of the city. • MIAMI COUNTY — The

46th annual Miami County Fair will take place this week (Sept. 26th-30th) at the county grounds north of Troy. The fair is always a good time for all residents of the county, even if one is not a farmer. There is a multitude of activities, displays and events to take in and old friends to visit. Come out and see some of the best livestock in the area or take in the horse racing. 146 Years Ago: Sept. 23-Oct. 6, 1866 • MIAMI VALLEY — This week we awoke to the shock that one of the worst floods in our history was upon us. Dayton was hit very hard with losses, being at the confluence of three rivers. The rain, which began on Monday (Sept. 24), continued for several hours and then ceased for a few hours before it resumed in the evening, which by Tuesday afternoon was swelling the rivers and it was apparent there was imminent danger approaching. The flooding continued to overflow the banks of the rivers and inundate the city, where there is much loss. It is estimated that approximately $125,000 in property damage was sustained with the worse being $25,000 to the Barney Smith & Co. Assessment of the loss of life and personal property will take some time. (Columnist’s Note: Records indicate the 1866 Flood was considered the second worst flood in the Valley, only surpassed by the one in 1913. Public and private loss of property was estimated to be about $250,000, which was an enormous amount of money at the time.) Patrick D. Kennedy is archivist at the Troy-Miami County Public Library’s Local History Library, 100 W. Main St., Troy, 335-4082.

Outdoor recreation growing after years of decline BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) — Two new national surveys find participation in outdoor recreation to be increasing after years of decline. That includes an uptick in the number of young people getting outside, which cheers outdoor advocates who’ve been concerned that a whole generation would grow up with “nature deficit disorder.” The national surveys, one by the Outdoor Foundation and one by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, don’t contain specific figures for Alabama, but the findings match with anecdotal evidence here. Verna Gates founded Fresh Air Family in 2006 with the intention of reconnecting kids to nature. The group offers a regular calendar of group outings for kids and parents, and it

now has chapters statewide. Activities in 2011 drew almost 11,000 participants. “Apparently there was a hunger for it,” she said. “It’s kind of been amazing.” Robbie Fearn, executive director at Ruffner Mountain Nature Preserve, pointed to a key finding in the Outdoor Foundation survey: easy access to paths, parks and green space significantly boosted the likelihood people would get outside. People living in neighborhoods where such amenities are convenient had participation rates 10 percent higher than those who didn’t. Birmingham will earn dividends from its Three Park Initiative, which included the creation of Railroad Park, the building of a new visitor’s center at

Ruffner and initial development at Red Mountain Park, Fearn said. Those projects, plus a push for a greenway network to connect them, will result in better health, happiness and economic vitality, he said. “One of the strongest takeaways for me is that easy access improves participation, which is especially important in a state with a high obesity rate,” he said. “The national trend is reflected at Ruffner, where our attendance is up by over 10,000 annual visitors since improving access.” The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service has conducted extensive surveys on hunting, fishing and wildlife participation across the country every five years since the 1950s. The latest

survey, published earlier this month, found that hunting and fishing were up 9 percent and 11 percent, respectively. That gain came after decades of decline, though Alabama game and fish officials say they’ve yet to see that kind of increase in the numbers of licenses sold here. The national survey also provides some gauge of the economic impact outdoor recreation has, especially when it comes to hunting and fishing. In 2011, 13.7 million people went hunting in the U.S., according to the survey. They spent $34 billion on trips, equipment, licenses, gas, food and other necessities to hunt. They spent an average of $2,484 per hunter. More than 33 million people went fishing in 2011.

They spent $41.8 billion on trips, equipment, licenses and other items, an average of $1,262 per angler, the survey said. The licenses and taxes generated from hunting and fishing are a key support source for the Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources. Greg Lein, the director of Alabama’s state park system, said the state also has focused on access to nature as a means to reverse the decline in outdoor participation. The state’s land preservation program, Forever Wild, has been adding public hunting land at a time when the state otherwise would be losing it as private owners pull land out of wildlife management areas. Public land is a priority because it offers access to

more people than privately leased land, Lein said. In the Southeast, Alabama has the lowest percentage of land in public hands. Lein said that there may be a correlation between the amount of accessible public land and the rate of outdoor participation. The mountain states, from New Mexico and Arizona north to Montana and Idaho, have the highest participation rate at 61 percent, according to the survey. They also have a higher percentage of land in public hands. In the South, 45 percent of residents participate in outdoor activities, which is slighter higher than the participation rate in the middle-Atlantic states of New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. But it trails all other regions.

The Outdoor Foundation survey found that AfricanAmericans have the lowest outdoor recreation participation rates. Just 37 percent of black children between the ages of 6 and 12 participated in outdoor recreation compared to 67 percent of white children in that age group. Gates, of Fresh Air Family, said her organization has worked hard to break the barriers to participation in outdoor recreation. Some parents in the innercity keep kids inside because they fear for their safety. It’s been eye-opening, Gates said, to see how cut off from nature some kids have become. But once they get their feet wet in a creek, they’re baptized, she said. “Kids need to be outside. That is their natural habitat,” Gates said. Wendy Jackson, executive director of the Freshwater Land Trust, said the survey provides support for further development of recreational spaces. “To me these studies are positive proof that our investments are paying off and the end result will be healthier children, a cleaner environment and economic growth,” Jackson said.

Tot tablets, retro brands are Toys R Us ‘hot toys’ NEW YORK (AP) — It’s still technically summer, but for some it’s not too soon to think about what the kiddies will want for the holidays. Toys R Us has come out with its annual “hot toy” list that includes tablets for kids, fashion dolls in the likeness of boy-band sensation One Direction, and even retro hits like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Furby. Knowing early what will be popular during the holiday shopping season is crucial to retailers seeking to have the right mix of toys at the right prices. The holiday season can account for about 40 percent of a toy seller’s annual profit. Last year, U.S. retail sales of toys fell 2 percent to $21.18 billion, according to research firm NPD Group. This year, Toys R Us, is introducing a “hot toy” reservation program. Starting Wednesday, the Wayne, N.J.-based retailer will let customers reserve the 50 toys on its list. The reservation system will run through the end of October. Toys must be reserved in stores and customers have to put down 20 percent of the toys’ cost.

AP PHOTOS/FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT PRESERVATION TRUST

This undated photo provided by the Frank Lloyd Wright Preservation Trust shows the exterior of the studio side of the Frank Lloyd Wright Home and Studio in Oak Park, Ill., which was built in 1889 as Wright’s family home and went through several renovations through 1898. This is where the famous architect developed Prairie style architecture. The studio side of the building accessed Wright’s offices and drafting studio.

Find the Frank Lloyd Wright mother lode in Illinois town OAK PARK, Ill. (AP) — Ernest Hemingway was born in Oak Park, but Frank Lloyd Wright lives here. Wright died in 1959, two years before Hemingway, but the famous architect’s legacy is so strong in this village west of Chicago that he seems to be part of the present. Home to more than two dozen Wright structures, including a church, two stables and a fountain, Oak Park boasts the largest collection of Wright-designed sites in the world. Wright lived in Oak Park for the first 20 years of his career, between 1889 and 1909, developing Prairie style architecture in a studio there. In contrast, Hemingway couldn’t wait to leave, reportedly disparaging it as a place of “wide lawns and narrow minds.” (The future novelist left at age 18 to become a reporter for the Kansas City Star.) Some 80,000 people tour Wright’s Oak Park home and studio each year (and about 10,000 visit the Hemingway sites) but visitors can also get a sense of Wright’s impact just by strolling up and down the streets. In addition to the homes he built, his designs are incorporated into everything from windows to mailboxes to lamps at scores of houses the architect had nothing to do with. This village of 52,000 is a living testament to his influence. That’s part of why visiting Wright’s home and studio is such a treat: A chance to see where the person responsible for it all lived, worked and created. “This is like a creative lab,” said Tim Samuelson, Chicago’s cultural historian and a member of the advisory board of the Frank Lloyd Wright Preservation Trust. As guides lead visitors through the house, often past furniture that Wright built, they explain Wright’s use of space: how he not only controlled room size, which every architect does, but also influenced how big or small the rooms felt to people inside them. For example, the drafting room looks even bigger than it is, a guide explains, because of a small passageway that opens up into the room, creating a bit of an illusion about the size. And where did he get that idea? The pyramids of Egypt employ the same trick. In another room, the playroom, Wright cut a hole in the wall and shoved much of a piano into it, so that the keys of the piano are in the room and the rest of it hangs above a stairwell in space that wasn’t being used for anything anyway. Then there’s Wright’s attention to what occupies all that space: Light. “Whenever he got a job he’d look at the site and see how the light fell” at different times of day, said Samuelson. Samuelson said he almost hates to take a

This undated photo provided by the Frank Lloyd Wright Preservation Trust shows the Arthur and Grace Huertley house, designed by Wright and built in 1902, on Forest Avenue in Oak Park, Ill., a few doors away from the Frank Lloyd Wright Home and Studio. Oak Park is home to 29 Wright structures, the largest number in of Wright designs built in any one place in the world. picture in a Wright home because he knows the photograph will not do justice to how different the home looks from season to season and even from hour to hour. “He thought of those things,” said Samuelson. And while Wright didn’t spend a lot of time consulting clients about where this wall or that room would go, he did have a sense of what they would like. “He had happy first clients, the houses fit them like a glove,” said Samuelson. Of course, someone as eccentric as Wright, who famously strode about with a cape over his shoulders and a cane in his hand, tended to attract clients who appreciated Wright’s sensibilities. Wright also understood in the early years of the 20th century that the automobile wasn’t a passing fad and that he’d better design his houses to cope with shining headlights and noisy engines. Listen, the tour guide says, pointing to one of Oak Park’s

The columns outside are not just decorative; they absorb noise, rendering near-silence.

But what really makes a tour of Wright’s home and community fun especially for those who don’t know much about architecture is that it brings a man who has

been dead for more than a half century back to life as a neighbor, businessman, father and husband, without whitewashing his flaws. For example, he liked the finer things in life but often strung merchants along when they came after him for payment. And when he moved to Oak Park, he borrowed money to buy a house from his boss at the time, famed architect Louis Sullivan. Sullivan lent him the money on condition that he not do any side jobs. Wright agreed but secretly “bootlegged” houses around town. “He’d sign an architect’s friend’s name on necessary permits or documents so Sullivan wouldn’t notice,” Samuelson said. Wright also got tongues wagging when he ran off with the wife of another client, leaving his wife and kids in his house and his mother in the house next door. At the same time, Wright was kind. He supported Sullivan for well over a decade when the older man fell on hard times late in life, the guide said. Maybe the best story about how Wright’s work and personality came together is the one told at the end of the house tour in what was his office. Wright’s houses tended to have leaky roofs, at least partly because Wright asked contractors to build houses unlike anything they’d built or even seen before. But Wright didn’t seem much bothered by it, whether the owners blamed him or not. When people would call to complain, “There’s water leaking on my desk,” Wright, as the story goes, would simply advise them to move the desk.

into an argument that ends with her stomping out and him telling her to go home. But good sense and some interesting developments keep her around: A former recruit of Gus’s, Johnny Flanagan (Justin Timberlake), who made it to the bigs, then threw his arm out and is now a Red Sox scout, starts hound-dogging Mickey. She has great baseball sense herself and, alongside Gus, evaluates the season’s top prospect, Bo Gentry (Joe Massingill), a beefy slugger who hits it out nearly every time he comes up to the plate. Filming in a charming old minor league park and peppering the stands with veteran baseball guys provides nice echoes of the game the way it used to be, and it feels good when director Lorenz also brings his star back to the sort of working class settings Southern honkytonks, pool halls, cheap motels, cut-rate sports facilities where his characters used to spend a good deal of time. In a modest, appealing way, “Trouble With the Curve” is another last-stand-of-the-old-timers movie, which might include “Gran Torino,” ”Space Cowboys” and “In the Line of Fire,” with Eastwood as

actor and sometimes director, in which experience, intuition and character get to carry the day against technology, numbers and other newfangled developments. Even though he’s still in the minors, the outsized Gentry amusingly carries on as if he already knows he’s the new century’s Babe Ruth, refusing to low-five his third base coach when he hits homers and boasting of glories to come. But despite his deteriorating vision, Gus has suspicions, as suggested by the film’s title, that Gentry has a fatal weakness. It’s a conviction he shares with Mickey, who herself contributes to her father’s cause in a surprising, if somewhat far-fetched, way. Having begun with Eastwood as a second assis®

tant director on “The Bridges of Madison County” in 1995 and working as a producer or executive producer on his films since 2002, Lorenz knows well his collaborator’s strengths as an actor and doesn’t stray far from the style and tone customary at Malpaso, Eastwood’s production company. This is a handsomely directed film; there’s a nice crispness to the pacing and images, as Lorenz keeps things moving briskly and has had house cinematographer Tom Stern move away from his recent darker, more subdued look to a brighter, fuller palette, which suits the vibrant characters and settings. Adams scores as the career woman who’s a tomboy at heart and discovers some new horizons by breaking with her routine. Timberlake is energetic but too puppy-doggish as her eager suitor; given Johnny’s background as a failed would-be baseball player, some shades of regret and disappointment would have deepened the characterization. Distinctive character actors such as Goodman; Matthew Lillard, playing a Braves scouting executive contemptuous of Gus’s antiquated ways; and Robert Patrick, as the team’s hardnosed GM, are hardly tested but lend weight to the supporting cast. But, of course, the show

belongs to Eastwood. Still physically fit enough to pitch to his daughter for fun, Gus may be an anachronism but, like the actor who plays him, he remains a force to contend with. And despite his hardheadedness, he’s also able to see that it’s never too late to open up to Mickey. His medical issues are unrealistically shoved aside at the end, which might have benefited from a melancholy undercurrent, but the result is satisfying in an old-fashioned way, which also might be part of the point. “Trouble With the Curve,” a Warner Bros. release, is rated PG-13 for language, sexual references, some thematic material and smoking. Running time: 110 minutes.

CHICAGO (AP) — Ask Chicago guitar legend Buddy Guy about the future of the blues and he’ll give a depressing but direct answer. “It’s scary,” Guy said during an interview upstairs at his club, Buddy Guy’s Legends, in Chicago’s South Loop. “I’m still going to play my music because I love what I’m doing, but we need all the support we can to keep the blues alive.” After five decades in the business, Guy is doing what he can to make sure the genre and his late contemporaries like Muddy Waters, Howlin’ Wolf and Junior Wells lives on. Earlier this year Guy wrote his autobiography, “When I Left Home,” and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame member is mentoring eighthMassachusetts grader and blues guitarist Quinn Sullivan. And Guy will likely garner attention in December when he receives a 2012 Kennedy Center Honor. “He has expressed his fear that it may be all lost after he’s gone,” said Janice Monti, a sociology professor at Dominican University who studies blues music. “I think as he’s gotten older he’s incredibly aware of this mandate he received from Muddy and the Wolf to keep this all going.” Guy says blues music is ignored in an entertainment marketplace obsessed with young artists. “It’s a tough time for blues because if it was being played, other than satellite radio, on the peak hours, prime time, then somebody would know about it,” Guy said.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Clint Eastwood’s first film as an actor for a director other than himself since “In the Line of Fire” in 1993, “Trouble With the Curve” is a corny, conventional and quite enjoyable fatherdaughter reconciliation story set mostly in the minor league baseball world of the South. Playing a sort of PG-13rated version of his ornery coot in “Gran Torino,” Eastwood is vastly entertaining as an old-fashioned scout who disdains computers and fancy statistical charts in favor of his own time-tested instincts. Making his directorial debut, Eastwood’s longtime producer Rob Lorenz knows just how to pitch the story to take advantage of the humorous side of his star’s obstinate crankiness, and Amy Adams makes a good match as the career-driven daughter with festering resentments. As in “Gran Torino” four years ago, Eastwood does not hesitate to spotlight the debilitations of old age, in fact doing so right off the bat as his Gus Lobel patiently coaxes out a morning pee, struggles with vision problems and stumbles into a coffee table at his modest home. A legendary baseball scout responsible for discovering some major stars in his day, Gus is one of the last of the cigar-chompers, a guy who relies on what he sees, hears and intuits but, with just three months left on his contract with the Atlanta Braves, “may be ready for pasture.” Anybody who’s seen “Moneyball” will know which side of the table he sits on. His only kid, conspicuously named Mickey (Amy Adams), is a high-powered young Atlanta lawyer on the verge of becoming a partner at her firm. Still stewing over having been palmed off on relatives when her mother died young so Gus could continue to troll the minors for talent, Mickey has commitment issues with men and the last thing this workaholic could imagine is accompanying her dad through southern backwaters on what could be his final swing. But her old man’s pal (John Goodman) talks her into it, suggesting that it could be a last chance to patch things up. First-time screenwriter Randy Brown puts his players on base and then comes through with what feels like a solid hit through the infield that scores a couple of runs. When Mickey joins her dad in North Carolina, their nearly every exchange almost immediately turns

looked great documentary was made around the time that Tyson was convicted and went to prison for raping Desiree Washington. It does a magnificent job of detailing his rise and fall without moralizing or painting him as a monster. An honest, human account. • “The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner” (1962): A great and angry film from the British kitchen sink realism movement of the early ’60s that tells the story of a troubled, blue-collar teen from a dismal family background who discovers running as an escape. Tom Courtenay gives a great performance in this gritty Tony Richardson film which has one of the most uncompromising climaxes to any sports film ever.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Steve James made his name exploring the hopeful side of sports with one of the most acclaimed documentaries of all time: 1994’s “Hoop Dreams.” Now, he’s shining a light on the potential dangers of athletics in “Head Games.” James’ latest documentary depicts the damage, depression and even dementia that players often endure after years of repeated concussions. He focuses mainly on football but points out that this kind of debilitating brain injury can occur in any sport, from boxing to women’s soccer, and he hopes that young, amateur athletes and their families pay particular attention. With the film being available in theaters and on demand beginning this weekend, James was kind enough to take the time to choose his five favorite sports films. Here he is, in his own words:

BOOK REVIEW SUNDAY CROSSWORD

DOUBLE WHAMMY

ACROSS

AP PHOTO/DUTTON

This book cover image released by Dutton shows “Winter of the World,” by Ken Follett.

Follett’s saga engages, educates BY NAHAL TOOSI AP Book Reviewer “Winter of the World” (Dutton), by Ken Follett: It’s hard not to like a Ken Follett book. Even when you find flaws, they are overshadowed by a sense of engagement and even education. Follett’s newest offering is “Winter of the World,” book number two in The Century Trilogy. The first was “Fall of Giants.” The books tell of the world wars and other great events of the 20th century via the members of five interlinked families. Whether it is through the young Russian intelligence officer who starts to doubt Stalin, the American socialite who drives ambulances in wartime Britain, or the young German man who falls prey to Nazi propaganda, Follett does a masterful job of capturing the highs and lows of an extraordinarily bloody time. Follett’s writing is not especially dazzling. He tends to tell, rather than show, and his attempts at describing romantic liaisons are awkward at best. But all that doesn’t really matter because he is so good at plotting a story, even one that takes on such a complex topic as the World War II era. That’s what makes “Winter of the World” so hard to put down. You want to know what happens next. You don’t care how it’s phrased. Of course, if the goal is to cover the major events of the 1900s, including not just wars but also sociological changes, through a mere five families, certain elements still have to be squeezed into place to make it all work. There are an unusual number of coincidences, such as half-siblings who don’t know each other working for rival governments and rival economic philosophies. There are also characters who seem random until you remember there’s one more book to go, such as the black wannabe actress who tangles with the gangster’s son. Follett has said he did meticulous historical research for “Winter of the World,” and it shows. Several real historical figures are depicted, though sometimes fleetingly. The book is, in a pleasant way, an educational experience. And readers still have the pleasure of knowing there’s a third novel on the way.

Min presents several easy and inexpensive fixes for typical problems. When discussing exercise, Min points out obstacles (time, cost, fear) and delivers specific routines and tools to get moms moving. She also includes eye-opening charts of

healthy foods, bad snacks and how long it takes to work off those calories in the gym. The last chapter delves into nitty-gritty details and costs of plastic surgery procedures from liposuction to vaginoplasty (gulp) teetering on TMIterritory. Min demystifies Botox for regular folks who might be intimidated, noting that in Los Angeles, it’s as common as a teeth cleaning. Her clinical, informative descriptions are careful not to promote the knife, but instead warn against the dangers of turning into “Frankenmom.” Critics may say the book feeds our collective obsession with the superficial, but Min seems to walk a fine line promoting the tools and methods of celebrities, without deifying them. She concludes that moms taking time for themselves sends a positive message to kids, and often when mama’s happy, everyone’s happy.

MORTGAGE WATCH

BY MARY CAROL GARRITY Scripps Howard News Service

Rate on 30-year mortgage falls to record 3.49% WASHINGTON (AP) — The average U.S. rate on the 30-year fixed mortgage touched its record low this week and the rate on 15-year mortgage hit a new record. The declines followed the Federal Reserve announcement last week that it would buy bonds to try to push mortgage rates lower and stimulate the housing market. Mortgage buyer Freddie Mac said Thursday that the average rate on the 30-year loan declined to 3.49 percent from 3.55 percent last week. That matched the lowest rate since long-term mortgages began in the 1950s. The average on the 15-year fixed mortgage, a popular refinancing option, plunged to 2.77 percent, a new record. That’s down from 2.85 percent last week and the previous record low of 2.80 percent. Cheap mortgages have helped drive a modest housing recovery this year. And the Fed wants to keep those rates low for the foreseeable future as a way to stimulate the economy. Last week the Fed said it plans to spend $40 billion a month to buy mortgage bonds for as long as it thinks necessary to make home buying more affordable. Mark Vitner, senior economist at Wells Fargo, said the stimulus likely helped lower mortgage rates this week. And the Fed’s bond purchases will probably push rates down even further over the next six to nine months, Vitner suggested. “Mortgage rates are going to be lower than they would otherwise,” he said. “Housing looks like it’s going to provide a significant lift to the economy over the next year.” The market is already benefiting from the lowest rates on record. Sales of both previously occupied and newly built homes are up from last year. Home prices are rising more consistently. And builders are more confident in the market and are starting to build more homes. The broader economy is also likely to benefit from a revival in the housing market. When home prices rise, Americans typically feel wealthier and spend more a point made by Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke when he addressed the new stimulus measures last week.

Tired of that same-old, same-old mantel display? Ready to give your fireplace mantel a fresh look for fall? Mix your decorating treasures with killer seasonal accents to give that mantel a dynamic new look. Here are some ideas to get you started. A Frolicking Fall Hunt Maybe I should have been born in England a few centuries ago because I just love, love, love British hunting imagery and always look for ways to weave it into my interior designs. A richly layered mantel can succeed in celebrating fall while also imparting the thrill of the hunt. What’s a fall hearth without a cheery fire? Start with bundles of white birch logs. But don’t set a match to these beauties — position them for your display, then swap them out for firewood when you’re ready to light your fire. Consider some big statement art as well. Dan and I used to have a beagle, so my heart swelled up when I saw a whimsical painting that I think accurately captures the unbridled energy and goofy sense of humor of hunting hounds. With the painting in place, we started to build a display using tattered old vanilla-colored books as risers on either side of the mantel. Next we topped the books with twin white wooden lanterns. If you’re not a fan of lanterns, you could use any number of other pieces instead. How about matching ginger jars, pillar candlesticks or concrete finials? Use your imagination! We used a variety of fall picks and sprays on the mantel, tucking them in behind the lanterns and books. For a more dramatic overall display, let your faux foliage climb up toward the ceiling. If the branches won’t “up” by themselves, use a fallen stick as a support, first securing it to the wall behind with a tiny nail. The secret to getting a richly layered look with greenery is to intertwine several pieces and twist the stems so they look organic, not freshly plucked from a box. For a playful finishing touch, we put a pheasant figurine right at the foot of the pack of dogs.

SHNS PHOTO COURTESY NELL HILL’S

A variety of fall picks and sprays was chosen for this mantel. Golden Age Remember that stack of aged, creamy vanilla books we used as risers in the first mantel? Well, they’re back again for another arrangement option. Books make great risers because they add texture and monochromatic color. For this display, stack them neatly on either side of a gorgeous mirror framed in gold. Brass is in again, and I’m thrilled. I really like its warm, soft glow. It offers the perfect tone for fall and holiday decorating, when you want soft luster and subtle shine. Statuesque matching lamps, which reach so high, introduce lots of drama to a display and act as per-

fect bookends, holding everything together. Layering artwork is a great way to decorate a mantel. For a visually arresting display in minutes, just overlap a few pieces of complementary artwork in dissimilar shapes. They all work perfectly to create a unified effect. This particular mantel display is so neutral that you could leave it up all year long, just switching out a bit of greenery to freshen it up for each season. To tweak it for fall, simply tuck in a few pretty autumn picks.

As far back as 2006, when the home sale market was peaking, buyers trying to buy a home in hot markets complained that there wasn’t enough inventory to satisfy the demand. After the bubble burst and home sales and prices sagged, buyers in some areas still complained that there wasn’t enough of the right kind of inventory on the market. In 2009, solidly in the midst of the recent housing recession, a couple who owned a home in the hills above Oakland, Calif., for 15 years decided to make a move to accommodate their expanding family. They needed more space, wanted a view and needed a floor

Mantel

HOW COLORS AFFECT MOOD lamps on either side of the mantel provide a great visual boundary. The florals are anchored in beautiful iron planters, finished in a weathered patina that adds to the natural beauty of the grouping. The books add to the traditional ambiance of the display and interject a bit of color. There is a lot going on in this display, so we wanted to break up the layers with a bit of sparkle. A few mercury-glass pumpkins did just the trick. It’s a tiny addition, but has a big impact.

• Continued from C1

Here is how color affects your mood. Learn how to maximize its impact in your home. Green: Associated with life itself, and represents newness, naivete and birth. Green also has a whimsical, fun nature and is seen as talkative and stimulating to conversation. Orange: Orange is warming and uplifting, as in the softer energy found in the last rays of sunset. It relates to our entire life cycle as the color of fall, symbolic of the end of life. The column has been adapted from Blue: When associated with Mary Carol Garrity’s blog at www.nell- liquid, blue represents the soft lapping of waves or the running of hills.com.

English Men’s Club Fall lends itself well to masculine displays, rich in menswear fabrics and accents in rich shades of brown, red and green. Our third mantel display is a lighter, brighter take on a traditional English men’s-club look. Armless chairs, upholstered in a traditional plaid, set the tone. Instead of featuring one large piece of artwork above the mantel, we hung a small hunting trophy, then topped it with a smaller piece of framed artwork. This asymmetrical arrangement uses a wild assortment of fall foliage. I like it when the branches climb and twist about, just like they do in nature. Hurricane

a clear mountain stream. As the air we breathe, blue is fresh and vital. White: White is “up in the air,” as in marching clouds. It has associations of an upward “heavenly” motion and is pure as the driven snow, innocent in its ultimate nature. Black: Black is the “forever” color — forever night, forever faithful, forever formal. It’s a color that can inspire fear through its association with nothingness, but can also feel calming due to its solid, orderly and definite appeal. Yellow: Yellow is associated with “higher powers,” of things

greater than we mere humans. Yellow relates to intellectualism, random thought and happiness. Red: Red reigns! The color that calls on powerful emotions, either love or hate, red is the arbiter of our deepest feelings. Gray: Gray can feel warm or cool or no temperature at all. It represents “the rock,” therefore solidity and support. Gray is nondescript, just gray Brown: Brown is the Protector, the “Earth Mother” to us all. Security and contentment are found in brown. Brown shelters us from the storms of life. — HGTV

TROY

Some economists believe that we are actually seeing home price appreciation now. In that case, prospective homebuyers can expect more of the same: not enough buying opportunities for the buyers who want to take advantage of today’s record low interest rates. Some homeowners who were thinking about selling this year because they didn’t want to continue to wait for a better market could switch gears when the news of an improved housing market sinks in. If the market is improving, why not wait until next year to sell? Other sellers might have the same idea. If so, this might tip the scales. There would be more listings, which is good news for buyers. But, it could reduce the number of multiple offers and selling prices over the list price that some of today’s home sellers are receiving. Lenders are still holding back on bringing foreclosed properties on the market. Alternatives to foreclosure are being pursued by some lenders. A concern is that if the market becomes flooded with inventory again, the housing market will slow down and prices will fall. Economists aren’t in agreement on where the housing market will go from here. Some think it will be rocky; others think the recovery is under way. NAR recently reported that the national median existing-home price increased 7.9 percent between June 2011 and June 2012. This is the fourth month that the monthly price increases exceeded prices from the year before. THE CLOSING: The last time this occurred was February 2006 to May 2006.

Whether posting or responding to an advertisement, watch out for offers to pay more than the advertised price for the item. Scammers will send a check and ask the seller to wire the excess through Western Union (possibly for courier fees). The scammer's check is fake and eventually bounces and the seller loses the wired amount. While banks and Western Union branches are trained at spotting fake checks, these types of scams are growing increasingly sophisticated and fake checks often aren't caught for weeks. Funds wired through Western Union or MoneyGram are irretrievable and virtually untraceable.
