Yemeni president’s troops kill 40

Top rival asks for U.S. help SANAA, Yemen (AP) — In one of the bloodiest days of Yemen’s uprising, government troops backed by snipers and shelling attacked a square full of Yemeni protesters Saturday and battled with pro-opposition forces in the capital, killing at least 40 people and littering the

streets with bodies.

The violence signaled an accelerated attempt by President Ali Abdullah Saleh and his loyalists to crush their rivals and tighten his grip on the country after his return a day earlier from Saudi Arabia, where he has been undergoing treatment for the past three

months for wounds suffered in an assassination attempt.

One of Saleh’s top rivals, Maj. Gen. Ali Mohsen al-Ahmar, called for international help, asking the U.S. and other regional powers to rein him in. He warned that Saleh is pushing the country into civil war and compared him to the Roman emperor Nero, burning down his own city.

For Amazon Kindle e-reader owners, Christmas came early.

Last week, Amazon.com announced more than 4,000 book titles would be available free of charge through local libraries, including the Troy-Miami County Library’s digital library.

“Libraries are a critical part of our communities,” Jay Marine, director of Kindle at Amazon, said in a press release. “And we’re BOMBIN excited to be making Kindle books available at more than 11,000 local libraries around the country.”

Rachelle Miller, Troy-Miami County Library’s director, said the decision to allow Amazon Kindles access to national libraries’ downloads was news to her last week.

“We used to get so many phone calls,” Miller said about access to free materials through a Kindle.

“Now they can download books.”

All e-books borrowed from public libraries are still “checked out” and downloaded on to the e-readers. E-books borrowed from the library also are “returned” to the library’s database. When the book is due, the e-book simply disappears from the list of available titles. An email to the patron reminds the reader about the process three days prior to the book being returned.

The news of the new Kindle/library relationship has yet to catch on, according to the

As of Sept. 23, there had been only 24 Kindle checkouts for the Troy-Miami County Public Library and 345 for Dayton Metro Public Library, according to Jean Gaffney, manager of acquisition and collection development.

But borrowing e-books and all download materials from libraries is catching on in the area.

“We topped over 500 downloadable circs yesterday for our consortium and the most we have ever done before was just over 400 downloadable materials,” Gaffney said. She said that included all downloaded media, such as eaudio, e-books and e-music.

Good news for motorists who regularly travel North Market Street: a section of the roadway will be getting a complete makeover.

The Ohio Department of Transportation has approved the city’s application for funds to reconstruct the heavily traveled stretch of twolane road between Staunton Road and Foss Way. Last week the city was notified that ODOT SWAN has approved Troy’s Ohio Public Works application for $575,000 for the project.

The project would include new roadway reconstruction and paving, new sidewalks and new curb, gutter and storm sewers.

It’s currently estimated at $1.161 million, so the city would be responsible for $586,000, plus the cost of design work, according to city engineer Deborah Swan.

She said the state funding would be available after July 1, 2012, so construction would not commence until after the Adams Street Bridge project is finished.

The Adams Street Bridge replacement project is expected to be completed by October 2012.

City council’s Buildings, Streets and Sidewalks Committee last week unanimously recommended

World powers seek to contain debt crisis WASHINGTON (AP) — Global finance officials pledged on Saturday to take bolder moves to confront a European debt crisis that threatens to plunge the world into another deep recession. But sharp disagreements about exactly what to do can’t offer much reassurance to markets rocked by uncertainly in recent weeks.

The United States and other countries outside of Europe fear the economic fallout at home from the European crisis. They are raising the pressure on Europeans to settle their differences and agree on a plan to rescue heavily indebted European countries.

Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner bluntly told officials at a meeting of the International Monetary Fund that time was running short to stave off potential domino-style defaults in Europe. European governments, he said, need to join with the European Central Bank to provide stronger support to calm market fears.

He said the ECB, the central bank for the 17 nations that use the euro as a common currency, should make sure that financially troubled countries trying to reform their economies can get loans at affordable rates and that European banks have access to the capital they need to operate.

Fears that Greece is in danger of defaulting on its

World Bank Group President Robert Zoellick of the U.S. speaks at a news conference during the IMF/ World Bank Annual Meetings at IMF headquarters in Washington Saturday. Global finance officials pledged to take bolder moves to confront a European debt crisis that threatens to plunge the world into another deep recession. But sharp disagreements about exactly what to do can’t offer much reassurance to markets rocked by uncertainly in recent weeks. debt have rattled U.S. and global markets. Such a development would add to the stress for major banks in France and Germany that have a large exposure to Athens’ debt. It also would further strain on other heavily indebted Portugal and Ireland, and even bigger economies such as Italy and Spain.

For the week, the Dow Jones industrial average fell 6.4 percent, its worst performance since Oct. 10, 2008, when it dropped 18

Funding • Continued from A1 the full council approve the project.

“It’s long needed,” said committee member and councilman Tom Kendall, who travels the road daily.

He represents the city’s First Ward, which is bounded on the west side

by North Market Street.

Troy’s portion of the

project funding is included in the 2012 budget, said Swan. She added that OPWC funds to reconstruct North Market Street from Foss Way north to the city limits would not be available until at least 2016.

The issue is expected to be on council’s agenda at its next regularly scheduled meeting Oct. 3.

Council OKs water study Troy took the first step Monday when city council approved entering into an agreement with Piqua on a study that could definitively determine whether it is feasible for the cities to partner on a regional water system.

Tuesday, the Piqua City Commission sealed the deal when it unanimously authorized its portion of the costs of the comprehensive water system analysis.

The proposed analysis, from Cincinnati-based RA Consultants, is estimated to cost $124,896, not including reimbursable expenses. Both Troy and Piqua now agree to pay 50 percent water of the total estimated cost of the analysis.

TROY Piqua is under an Environmental Protection Agency order to replace its aging water treatment system by the end of 2012.

Over the past several years, Piqua has considered several options, including buying water from Troy or renovating or replacing its circa-1925 surface water filtration plant on State Route 66.

Piqua has agreed to have a plan ready to submit to the EPA by midsummer. The proposed RA Consultants study is expected to be complete by the first quarter of 2012.

percent at the height of the U.S. financial crisis.

“The threat of cascading default, bank runs and catastrophic risk must be taken off the table,” Geithner told the IMF’s policy committee.

“Decisions as to how to conclusively address the region’s problems cannot wait until the crisis gets even more severe.”

Mark Carney, the head of Canada’s central bank, called for “overwhelming” the problem by more than doubling the current 400 bil-

lion euro rescue fund to 1 trillion euros, an amount that would equal $1.35 trillion.

The IMF panel, which sets policy for the 187-nation lending institution, wrapped up discussions at its annual meeting with a statement pledging to work decisively and in a coordinated way to deal with Europe’s debt crisis.

The United States was represented at the meeting

by Geithner and Federal Reserve Chairman Ben

Bernanke.

The statement was similar to pledges of increased support made Thursday by finance officials from the Group of 20 major world economies. Both statements were short on specifics.

The IMF statement said the fund stood ready to back further efforts to deal with the crisis beyond bailout support for Greece, Portugal and Ireland.

“Today, we agreed to act decisively to tackle the dangers confronting the global economy,” the IMF’s managing director, Christine Lagarde, told reporters.

It’s a critical first test for Lagarde, who took over in June from Dominique Strauss-Kahn. He had guided the fund’s response to the 2008 global financial crisis but was forced to step down in May after facing criminal charges in New York that included attempted rape of a hotel maid. Prosecutors dropped the charges because of concerns about the accuser’s credibility.

The three days of discussion wrapped up late Saturday with a meeting of the Development Committee, which sets policy for the World Bank. World Bank President Robert Zoellick announced at a final news conference that the World Bank planned to triple to $1.88 billion the amount of humanitarian support the bank is providing to countries in drought-ravaged areas of the Horn of Africa.

Palestinian leader rejects international peace blueprint UNITED NATIONS (AP) — Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas strongly suggested Saturday that he would reject a peacemaking blueprint put forward by international mediators, saying he would not agree to any proposal that disregarded Palestinian conditions for the resumption of peace talks.

Abbas, who returned to the West Bank on Saturday after submitting a statehood bid at the United Nations a day earlier, told reporters accompanying him that he was still studying the proposal by the peacemaking Quartet the U.S., European Union, United Nations and Russia.

But he appeared to tip his hand by saying “we will

not deal with any initiative” that doesn’t demand a halt to Israeli settlement construction or negotiations based on borders before the 1967 War when Israel captured land the Palestinians claim for their state.

The Quartet statement made no such demands.

Abbas dug into his positions after resisting heavy, U.S.-led pressure to abandon his bid to have the U.N. recognize a state of Palestine in the West Bank, east Jerusalem and Hamasruled Gaza Strip. His willingness to stand up to Washington has won him newfound respect at home, where he had been considered a lackluster leader. The unilateral bid for statehood and U.N. membership

deep-seated reflects Palestinian exasperation over 44 years of Israeli occupation.

Israel has had no comment on the Quartet plan to resume long-stalled negotiations between the Palestinians and Israel, which mediators regard as the only way to establish a Palestinian state. Israeli leader Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has rejected the long-standing conditions Abbas has put forth, saying talks must go forward without imposing terms.

Netanyahu opposes negotiations based on 1967 lines, saying a return to those frontiers would expose Israel’s heartland to rocket fire from the West Bank.

Making a difference Rec receives $1,000 grant The Troy Recreation Association Inc., better known as the Rec, recently was awarded a $1,000 grant from Maxwell House.

The Maxwell House “Drops of Good” Community House Project, in cooperation with Rebuilding Together, has awarded five $5,000 grants and five $50,000 grants nationwide.

The Rec’s award is part of the 100 donations of $1,000 each to an “eligible local community house defined as the structure housing an organization that delivers quality recre-

TROY ation programs and/or social services that are deeply rooted in the community. It makes a difference in the lives of the families and individuals that make up the community and relies on these same people to thrive. The organization must be open to the public at large,” according to the Maxwell House website.

The Troy Rec is an independent, non-profit organization, serving the commu-

nity since 1941.

The Rec offers programs for all ages, with an emphasis on school-aged youth, especially teenagers.

The Maxwell House grant is a tremendous boost for the Rec’s budget and will be used for upgrades to game room equipment, as well as general budgetary needs, according to Beth Shrake, Rec director.

“What a thrill to receive this donation. This means good things for the kids we serve,” Shrake said.

Question: Are you going to vote next month?

Watch for final poll results in next Sunday’s Miami Valley Sunday News.

Last week’s question: Do you feel the United States is safe from another terrorist attack?

Results: Yes: 4% No: 96%

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

— First Amendment, U.S. Constitution

EDITORIAL ROUNDUP The Kansas City Star on dangerous doctors: President Barack Obama’s administration has gone overboard in trying to protect physicians from the public’s right to glean essential information about their doctors.

A move by the Department of Health and Human Services to shut down an online database betrays promises by Obama and Secretary Kathleen Sebelius to promote transparency in health care. Public access must be restored immediately.

Removal of the National Practitioner Data Bank followed The Kansas City Star’s story about a Kansas neurosurgeon with a trail of malpractice lawsuits. Despite being sanctioned by a hospital and having to pay almost $4 million in response to the lawsuits, Robert Tenny was in good standing with the Kansas State Board of Healing Arts.

The U.S. Health Resources and Services Administration held out the possibility of financial penalties if The Star published a story using information from the database. The Star printed the story, and the government shut down the public portion of the data bank, which journalists have used for over a decade to inform the public about doctors whom they entrust with their care.

The public data bank files list disciplinary and malpractice actions against doctors, who are identified by a number rather than a name.

Reporters mine the bank for generic stories about problematic doctors and have used other information to learn some physicians’ identities.

Reporting assisted by the data bank has led to reforms in state laws and a greater emphasis on transparency and patient care by state medical boards.

Groups that advocate on behalf of journalists and consumers are protesting the government’s move. The Department of Health and Human Services should listen. Its job is to protect the public, not physicians with records they would like to hide.

The Asian Age, Mumbai, India, on Pakistan: The bilateral relationship between Pakistan and the United States is a fraught one — it waxes and wanes and is characterized by mutual suspicion and not a little hostility. In recent years, the warmth has almost totally disappeared though both realize that they need each other. That the U.S. does not trust the Pakistani establishment was clear from the Obama administration’s decision to go it alone in the operation to kill Osama bin Laden.

Now the U.S. side has fired another salvo, and a deadly one at that. U.S. Ambassador to Islamabad Cameron Munter has bluntly said there is evidence to link the dreaded Haqqani network with the Pakistan government, and that “this must stop”. Rarely have American officials been so forthright, though veiled references to the deep connections between Army and intelligence officials and terrorist groups have been made in the past.

It is not at all surprising that the U.S. is angry and frustrated at what it sees as Pakistani duplicity. In the post 9/11 world, America is in no mood to ignore such a double game. Earlier, successive U.S. governments had ignored reports of terrorists operating from Pakistani soil and endorsed by powerful local elements.

No longer. U.S. Defense secretary Leon Panetta has already warned, in the aftermath of the attack on the U.S. embassy in Kabul, that his government will go after insurgents wherever they may be. And now President Barack Obama’s refusal to meet Pakistan Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani during the latter’s coming United Nations visit must also be seen in that light. …

It is now certain that U.S. pressure on Pakistan will increase. With its recent success in killing Bin Laden, the U.S. feels its strategy of going it alone will yield results. As for Pakistan, its government and its military services may chafe but are in no position to stand up to the U.S., not if they want to keep getting their arms and weaponry.

Our pledge to America, one year later In May 2010, House Republicans launched a project we called America Speaking Out. Through live forums, one-on-one meetings, and an innovative internet platform, people from throughout Ohio and every corner of America shared their priorities and concerns. You spoke out, we listened, and together developed our Pledge to America — a new governing agenda focus on your priorities: creating jobs, cutting spending, and removing barriers to private-sector job growth. You spoke out, we listened, and on September 23, 2010 we unveiled our Pledge to America — a new governing agenda focused on your priorities: creating jobs, cutting spending, and removing barriers to private-sector job growth.

After one year, I believe we can honestly say we have been faithful to our pledge. And while there is still a lot more work to be done, we will continue to honor and fight for the promises we made.

Congressional Republicans heard clearly the message from the American people: elected leaders’ top priorities must be growing our economy, ending the federal government’s spending binge, and removing barriers that stand in the way of private-sector job creation. We put forth a plan that

John Boehner Guest Columnist would take important steps to encourage an environment for job growth with our Plan for America’s Job Creators. Our plan, which was builds on the Pledge, focuses on removing government barriers to private-sector job growth and ending the uncertainty facing families and small businesses.

As a former small businessman, I know tax hikes hurt job growth.

And as it stands now, our tax code discourages investment and rewards special interests. Instead of raising taxes, we need to make the code simpler and fairer by lowering individual and corporate tax rates in exchange for closing tax loopholes and special carveouts.

Our plan will increase revenues by putting more Americans back to work, and do so without raising taxes on job creators.

Unnecessary regulation from a

government that is always micromanaging, meddling, and manipulating has stifled private sector job growth in America. While there are reasonable regulations, such as ones that protect our children and help keep our environment clean, there are also excessive regulations that increase costs for consumers and small businesses.

Recently, we passed the Protecting Jobs from Government Interference Act, which blocks the federal government’s National Labor Relations Board from telling businesses where they can and can’t create new jobs. This type of interference from the federal government is hurting job creation across our country and we will continue to seek out and eliminate regulations that make it difficult to do business in America.

Finally, we’ve taken out-of-control government spending head on.

In August, we passed the Budget Control Act of 2011 which cut government spending by more than it increased the debt limit; implemented spending caps to restrain future spending; and did not raise taxes. While it was not a perfect bill, this legislation cut and capped discretionary spending immediately, saving $917 billion over the next 10 years. It cut more than $21 billion in spending next year alone,

and will continue to reduce the deficit in the years ahead. There is still more government spending that can be cut, but we changed the discussion in Washington from ‘how much can we spend?’ to ‘how much can we cut?’

In the preamble to the Pledge to America, we promised to keep faith ‘with the values our nation was founded on, the principles we stand for, and the priorities of our people.’ And over the course of this year, House Republicans have worked hard to restore the People’s House to what was envisioned by our founding fathers. But we know there is always more work to be done.

Our pledge requires an ongoing commitment to listening to the people, allowing the House to work its will, and placing governance before politics. We intend to honor that commitment. I encourage you to learn more about our Pledge to America by downloading a copy for yourself via http://pledge.GOP.gov.

While we continue to be outnumbered in Washington, we hope the President and Democrats in Congress will work with us to find common ground and help put the priorities of the American people ahead of Washington’s.

LOCAL BUSINESS LEDGER

Winco Industries marks 50 years TIPP CITY — In 1961, Carl Winblad began a resharpening and re-grinding company in his garage, known as Tipp Cutting Tool Service.

Soon after, he moved his business to Fifth Street in Tipp City. The tar paper shack was less than 30 square feet and had no heating or plumbing and a dirt floor.

The business grew in the early 1960s and relocated to a larger facility with plumbing and heating, and a few part time employees.

By 1967, Tipp Cutting Tool Service relocated again, as the company expanded to manufacturing of various types of cutting tools, and incorporated in 1968.

In 1974, the corporation was restructured as Winco Industries Inc. and once again the need for more space caused the company to relocate, adding Precision Drill and Reamer and Advanced Manufacturing.

Eventually Advanced Manufacturing was closed, and production of pressure coolant type gun drills and reamers were added.

Winco’s research and development in the 1980s allowed the company to begin developing polycrystalline diamond (PCD) cutting tools for the machining of non-ferrous materials, i.e. aluminum and carbon fiber.

Winco Industries continues to grow and now is a major producer of Carbide, PCD and CBN cutting tools serving industries around the world with manufacturing operations in the United States and Mexico.

OWGA became a single entity — OCWGA — Jan. 1, 2011.

“Dwayne is certainly well-respected in the agricultural and political communities not only in Ohio, but nationally, and will be remembered for his significant contributions to our state’s corn and wheat economies,“ said Mark Wachtman, OCWGA board president.

OCWGA’s milestones with Siekman’s leadership include spearheading the partnership of the formerly separate OCGA with the OWGA to form the current OCWGA; establishing the Ohio Grain and Energy Center, which serves as OCWGA’s new headquarters; securing the passage of the Ohio Wheat Checkoff to create the Ohio Small Grains Marketing Program; and Involvement with the establishment of the National Corn Growers Association political action committee.

Tadd Nicholson, OCWGA’s director of government and industry affairs, will serve as the interim CEO.

OBITUARIES

RICHARD HIGH

Boone County resident Antone Zeller grabs a 30-pack of beer at a convenience store in Harrison, Ark., Aug. 4. Zeller voted in favor of a measure to allow the sale of alcohol sales in the northern Arkansas county. The county is one of many local governments across the South that have dumped their bans on the sale of alcohol in the hopes of tapping into booze as a new source of revenue.

Local governments tap alcohol sales for revenue HARRISON, Ark. (AP) — Dee Gusewelle used to rail against the sale of alcohol, posting signs in her yard and encouraging neighbors and passersby to keep booze out of this patch of northern Arkansas.

But now that her county has dumped its ban on the sale of alcohol, she and her husband are doing something that would have been unthinkable and illegal just months ago: opening a liquor store.

“It’s not like it’s going to be Sodom and Gomorrah,” Gusewelle said as customers lined up to buy beer at the gas station where she worked this summer.

For years, cities and counties across the South have been quietly throwing out Prohibition-era laws banning the sale of alcohol.

But as local governments confront ever-greater budget problems, many are now tapping into booze as a source of untouched income. That means towns where preachers once condemned “demon rum” are now counting on six-packs and cheap wine to make up for declining revenue.

“It’s the same thing with the lottery,” Gusewelle said.

“People didn’t want that.

But then I see avid churchgoers that come in on Sundays and buy their lottery tickets.”

In Harrison, a city of 13,000 tucked between tourist attractions in the Ozark Mountains, stores began stocking beer and wine earlier this year.

Liquor stores are slated to open in the coming months.

The city hopes to collect up to $200,000 a year from alcohol-related sales taxes and fees once spirits hit the shelves. That will account for about 1 percent of the total annual budget.

Local officials say the availability of alcohol

TROY — Richard High, age 86, of Troy, passed away 11:40 p.m. Friday, Sept. 23, 2011, at Upper Valley Medical Center. He was born May 5, 1925, in Dayton, Ohio, to the late Richard G. and Mary Christmas (Phillips) High. He was married Aug. 17, 1967, to Doris Taylor; and she survives.

Other survivors include one sister, Susie Clark of Nashville, Ill.; one niece, Sandra Wolfe of Columbus; one nephew, Scott Clark of Nashville, Ill.; four brothers-in-law and spouses, Bill and Sandy Taylor of Ludlow Falls, Paul and Chris Taylor of Piqua, Phillip Taylor of Sidney and Terry Holfinger of Covington; eight sistersin-law and spouses, June and Dave Ruby of Troy,

Including his parents, Richard was preceded in death by two nephews and his sister, Donna Wolfe, four brothers-inlaw, Orville Taylor, Herman and his wife Nita Taylor, James Taylor, and Joseph and his wife Bonnie Taylor, and Gene Richardson; four sistersin-law, Bessie Taylor, Freda Taylor, Bernice Taylor and Mary Holfinger.

FUNERAL DIRECTORY • Edward Lewis Turner WEST MILTON — Edward Lewis Turner, age 80, of Enon, passed away Sept. 18, 2011.There will be a memorial service celebrating his life on Saturday, Oct. 1, at Hale-Sarver Funeral Home, West Milton. Burial will follow at Riverside Cemetery.

Antone Zeller pays for a 30-pack of beer at a convenience store in Harrison, Ark., in Boone County. encourages visitors to stay longer or at least long enough to polish off a beer.

Lodging is up 25 percent so far this year compared with the same period in 2010, when voters approved a measure to shift the county from “dry” to “wet.”

When the area was dry, many tourists cruising along the region’s curvy highways kept driving after realizing they couldn’t wash down a rack of ribs with a cold brew.

Now convenience stores peddle lagers and ales, and a former feed store sells wine in flavors and colors that sound as if they belong in a bag of Skittles wild cherry, sunshine pink, blue Hawaiian. Officials hope the change will also attract chain restaurants and other companies that typically avoid investing in dry counties.

“We’re a pretty poor county, and we just can’t afford to say we don’t want anyone’s business,” said Gerald Ragland, the city’s finance director.

But for years, they did just that. Anyone craving a cold beer or a glass of wine in Boone County had to cross the county line or head north to Missouri, where liquor laws are less restrictive.

After Prohibition ended

in 1933, dry laws popped up in counties and municipalities across the nation. Like the laws they replaced, the restrictions controlled the sale of alcohol, not consumption.

“People are going to drink regardless,” Antone Zeller said before buying a 30-pack of Keystone Ice at the Harrison convenience store where Gusewelle worked. “It doesn’t matter how far you’ve got to go to get it. So you might as well just get it here and keep our money here.”

Zeller didn’t know what a dry county was when he moved here from Shreveport, La., about 15 years ago. But he quickly learned. For him, it meant a long drive to stock up on booze. And while he was out of the county, Zeller would often spend money on other things.

“We’d eat. We’d buy gas,” he said. “But now for the most part, all my money stays here.”

Some people who fought to keep the county dry say easier access to alcohol fuels underage drinking and raises crimes rates.

“Tax revenue doesn’t make up for loss of quality of life,” said Ralph Hudson, a real estate broker in Harrison who sought to keep the county dry, just as it had been for more than half a century.

Others share his beliefs and post them on church signs here. One, across the road from McDonald’s, told people that Jesus, not Budweiser, is the “light.”

But supporters of the change say forbidding alcohol did little to prevent problems and sometimes contributed to them.

Several donations and fundraisers have made this trip possible.

Satellite likely fell in ocean Some debris may have hit U.S. WASHINGTON (AP) — It’s as big as a bus and weighs 6 tons, but officials probably will never be able to pinpoint exactly where a massive NASA satellite plummeted to Earth.

NASA space junk scientists believe that all or nearly all of the parts of their 20year-old dead satellite safely plunged into the Pacific Ocean, likely missing land.

But if their estimates are off, by only five minutes or so, fiery pieces could have fallen on parts of northwestern North America.

No injuries or damage have been reported on land, which NASA officials said was a good indication the satellite went into the ocean.

That doesn’t necessarily mean it all fell into the sea.

Some debris could have fallen over areas such as Portland, Ore.; Seattle; Calgary, Alberta; and

Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, said Jonathan McDowell of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics.

“Pieces are falling off of this flaming fire ball, and some of it has enough momentum to go hundreds of miles,” he said.

Speculation was rampant on sites such as Twitter. There were no credible reports of debris on the ground, said Nick Johnson, NASA’s chief scientist for orbital debris. But if the satellite fell even five minutes later than estimated, some of it could have hit land, he said.

“We don’t know where the re-entry point exactly was. We don’t exactly know where the debris field is,” Johnson said.

NASA’s earlier calculations had predicted that the former climate research satellite would fall over a 500-mile swath and could

include land. Officials said the 35-foot satellite fell sometime between 11:23 p.m. EDT Friday and 1:09 a.m. EDT Saturday.

Much of the speculation focused on unconfirmed reports and even video of debris from the Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite over Alberta, Canada.

NASA spokesman Steve Cole said that was possible because the last track for the satellite included Canada, starting north of Seattle and then in a large arc north then south. From there, the track continued through the Atlantic south toward Africa, but it was unlikely the satellite got that far if it started falling over the Pacific.

Some 26 pieces of the satellite representing 1,200 pounds of heavy metal had been expected to rain down somewhere. The biggest surviving chunk should be no more than 300 pounds.

FORT ROWDY GATHERING

It all started as ‘the Gathering Place’ It all started as “the Gathering Place.”

It became known simply as “the gathering place.”

The History of Fort Rowdy In 1791, the Indians of the Northwest Territory achieved a tremendous victory over the army of General Arthur St. Clair on the upper branch of the Wabash (the site of Fort Recovery, Ohio). So elated were the Indians that the number and ferocity of their raids on the isolated settlers and outposts were greatly increased.

The tribes felt that at last their dream of pushing the whites back across the Ohio River was within their grasp, but the dream was an illusion for they had no concept of the size of the white population in the eastern and southern settlements.

The government, under the leadership of George Washington, realized that bold and swift action must be taken to quell the tribes or all hopes for settlement on the frontier would vanish. The task of pacification fell to an officer who had distinguished himself in the Revolution – his name was General “Mad” Anthony Wayne.

General Wayne gathered and trained his army at Pittsburgh, Pa., and in 1792, he brought them to Fort Washington (Cincinnati). The plan was to establish additional forts and depots in the very heart of hostile territory. To prove the seriousness of their intent, these fortifications were to be erected on the trade routes, portages, and war trails of the Indians. In 1793, Wayne took his army out of Fort Washington and started north with the usual assortment of camp followers in tow. Camp followers have existed since the Roman legions and their reasons for adopting this life style were as diverse as the people themselves — wagoneers, stockmen, peddlers, wives, sweethearts, children, and tarts — they all cast their lot with the fate of the army.

Wayne’s army moved north and along the Miami River, then on up the Stillwater River along the east bank until they came to what they considered to be a strategic location.

Here they constructed a base camp which consisted of an earth and log breastwork on the limestone bluffs overlooking the river. After the fortification was completed, it was christened Fort Rowdy. Local legend

Designed by Sylvia M. Warner of Covington states that the ceremony concluded with the baptism of whiskey poured on the breastworks from the soldiers’ canteens and a lively celebration followed. It is said the name Rowdy wad derived from the behavior of the troops and camp followers; another less colorful explanation is that the site was named after on officer friend of General Wayne’s named Rowdy.

Wayne and his troops soon moved west until they reached the spot General St. Clair had mentioned in his dispatches. Here they would build the largest stockaded fort in the Northwest Territory. Upon completion, the fort was named after an officer of the Revolution whom Wayne had greatly admired, Nathaniel Greene. This fort was named Greene Ville and the little creek Wayne had followed west from Fort Rowdy would become Greene Ville Creek.

In 1794, Wayne clashed with the tribes in a couple of small but sharp fights, but these were only preliminaries compared to the Battle of Fallen Timbers. In this major engagement the Americans came away with a clear and decisive victory which eventually forced the tribes to sue for peace and ultimately led to the signing of the Treaty of Greene Ville in 1795.

Things were fairly quiet for the next few years. In the early 1800s several settlers came to this area and soon small clearings and cabins began to dot the forest. In the spring of 1812, with the outbreak of war, most of the settlers left their remote dwellings for the safety of the more populated areas in the east and the south.

The call went out for men to form a volunteer militia to serve for a

period of four months. Since this was a civilian group, they were required to outfit themselves. There were no uniforms to speak of and no Government Issue arms. The men from the nearby settlements gathered at Staunton (near Troy). An election was held and George Buchanan was named Captain. He would be in charge of these frontier guards. They were mustered into service as the First Company, Second Regiment, Fifth Brigade, of the First Division of the Ohio Militia — a hefty title for only fifty men to live up to.

Buchanan was directed to occupy the same area that Wayne had used in 1793, there to build a stockade and blockhouse to be used as a transfer point and depot, and to monitor the river traffic. When Captain Buchanan arrived and toured the area, he decided that a spot farther north was more suitable than the site of Wayne’s old camp so he put his troops to work building a blockhouse, watch tower, and the log curtains that would enclose the stockade. The stockade was located on a rise on the east bank of the river directly across from where the Greene Ville Creek entered the Stillwater River. The fort was named “Fort Buchanan,” but old habits die hard and people soon started calling it Fort Rowdy again which did not set well with Captain Buchanan. He was a religious man, with high standards, and proud of the service he and his men were performing and he didn’t want them to be remembered in history as “rowdies.” He took exception with army dispatches directed to Fort Rowdy and finally the army relented and the mail was sent to “Buchanan’s Blockhouse.”

There was little or no military action that involved the fort directly and later Buchanan and his troops were summoned to Troy, then marched on up to Piqua to the signing of yet another peace treaty.

There is no record of any military presence at the fort after that, but once peace had been restored the settlers used the stockade because of its central location. The settlers came there during times of emergency; they also used it as a stock pen, a market place, for social events, and held meetings there and for the most part it became known simply as “the gathering place.”

Herron named grand marshal of Fort Rowdy COVINGTON — The grand marshal for the 2011 Fort Rowdy Gathering is Jack Herron. Born and raised in the Covington area, Herron lives just west of Covington with his wife of 53 years, Charlotte.

They have three sons, Scott and wife Dianne, Todd and Jack and daughter, the late Cammy Herron.

They have six grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.

After attending Covington schools, Herron worked as a metallurgist for French Oil Co. for 23 years, followed by working as an over-the-road trucker for a vari- HERRON ety of businesses for 25 years. He also helped his father farm, and worked at Dayton Forge.

One of his greatest achievements was a trip by horseback with seven friends. They left just west of St. Louis, Mo., and traveled to Mullinville, Kan., where they helped with wheat crops, planting more than 500 acres a day. They also traveled to Custer’s Battleground. The trip took a year of preparations, and Herron still has the old “highback” saddle he used on the trip. After the trip, Herron and his traveling buddies gave presentations to the local Kiwanis and churches.

He also saved the “Old Highway Inn” formerly on the Eagles property, cutting it into sections and hauling it by hay wagon to his property. The move took many trips, and a large detour, as the new U.S. 36 bridge was under construction at the time.

These days, Jack and Charlotte enjoy being “snowbirds” and traveling to the southwest every winter, where they have a mobile home. They look forward to seeing their winter “family.”

Herron likes the small town feel of Covington, and is impressed the friendliness of the people. “You can’t beat ’em.” His lives by the rule “you make your own nest.” He believes in getting out, and making new friends wherever you go. Herron “knows no stranger” and is proud of his many friends. He gives this advice to all: “Make friends. I am a believer in friends. Make as many as you can. All ages and types. Don’t be afraid to help one another.

In 1993, Herron offered use of his east field for Fort Rowdy Gathering campers. The Gathering still uses his field for Encampments and camp parking.

The 2011 Gathering will again offer period wares for sale at the Fort Rowdy Tradin' Post.

If there were any questions concerning the health of Troy freshman Troy Schultz, they were answered Saturday.

Schultz, who had some blood work done after fatigue started to plague him during the late stages in recent races, crossed the finish line in fifth place out of 216 runners with a personal best time of 16:48.47 to help lead Troy to a third-place overall finish in the team standings on Senior Day at the Troy Invitational.

“This was Troy Schultz’s breakout performance,” Troy coach Bob Campbell said. “He’s had some health problems.

TROY He had some blood work done — turned out to be sort of borderline anemic. But he had struggled with getting tired at the end of races.

He’s better now and looking good.”

But for Schultz, it was all about setting a goal and going after it.

“I was hoping to break 17 minutes, and I ended up breaking it by 12 seconds,” Schultz said.

“That’s my best time. My previous PR was 16:58.”

A pack of Trojan runners followed Schultz — with all of the top five scorers finishing 17:45 or better.

Senior Cody Fox was the second man in for Troy at 20th, finishing in a time of 17:26.04.

COLUMBUS (AP) — Even though he’s just a freshman and in his first autumn on a college campus, Braxton Miller played like a grizzled upperclassman.

Miller tossed two touchdown passes to Devin Smith as Ohio State rebounded from a lopsided loss for a 37-17 victory over error-prone Colorado on Saturday, extending the Buffaloes’ school-record road losing skid to 19 in a row.

“Braxton did a good job,” said Jordan Hall, who rushed for 84 yards and a TD and also had a 90-yard kickoff return to set up another score for the Buckeyes (3-1). “He was calm. He’s going to be special.”

The Buckeyes made the switch after one of the worst passing days in school history in a 24-6 loss at Miami last week.

Still figuring it out Trojans finish first half 4-1 — with 3 big weeks coming up

BY DAVID FONG Executive Editor fong@tdnpublishing.com Some final notes from Troy’s 35-28 victory over Beavercreek Friday: • Player of the Game: Beavercreek simply had no answer for Troy senior wide receiver Ian Dunaway. He was open all night, particularly in the second half.

Dunaway finished his night with five catches for 103 yards and a touchdown.

Dunaway, Troy’s punter, also converted a fake punt into a 21-yard run for a first down.

Troy’s Ian Dunaway runs on a fake punt Friday at Beavercreek.

BEAVERCREEK “That’s something we saw on films,” Troy coach Steve Nolan said of the fake punt. “They pretty much dropped everybody on punts — they didn’t rush anyone.

It was Dunaway’s decision.

He had the green light. If it was there, he could run. If it wasn’t, he just punted the ball.”

• Play of the Game: Down 21-7 early in the fourth quarter, Beavercreek apperaed to be driving for a touchdown that would have cut the Trojans’ lead to 2114. On second-and-6 from the Troy 20, Beavercreek quarterback Justin Weaver’s option pitch bounced off one of his blocking backs and hit the turf.

Trojan cornerback Seth Perdziola scooped it up and raced 78 yards for a touchdown to put the Trojans up 28-7. That score would prove to be critical, as Troy needed all the points it could get against a nearly-

• Unsung Hero: Trojan outside linebacker Nick Zimmer recovered three onside kick attempts by the Beavers in the fourth quarter. Had Beavercreek been able to recover even one of those, it could have drastically changed the game’s outcome.

• What We Learned: Truth be told, not much.

Troy remains a nearly impossible team to figure

out.

In Weeks 3 and 4 against Fairborn and Springboro, slow starts nearly proved disastrous for the Trojans, who would turn it on in the second half and pull away for three-touchdown victories in both cases. Against Beavercreek, Troy didn’t get off to a slow start — but appeared to slow down at the end. Up 28-7 with less than 10 minutes to play, the Trojans appeared to have the game well in hand, but

ended up holding on — barely — for the win.

“We let up,” Perdziola said. “We’ve got to be able to finish teams when we have the chance. The last two weeks, we got off to slow starts — this week, we didn’t put them away.”

That being said, however, the fact remains that the Trojans finish the first half of the season 4-1 — a position in which most teams would love to be.

• What Happens Now: The next three weeks will make or break Troy’s season. While what the Trojans have accomplished so far has been nice, it won’t mean much without wins at home against Butler (5-0), at home against rival Piqua (32) and on the road against Trotwood-Madison (5-0).

Should Troy trip up in any of those three games, a shot at the Greater Western Ohio Conference North Division title — and a return trip to the playoffs — becomes a much tougher task.

Lehman dominates TC, 38-6

BY ROB KISER Ohio Community Media rkiser@dailycall.com Lehman and Troy Christian are two young Metro Buckeye Conference teams looking to continue to take steps forward.

And Saturday night at Alexander Stadium/Purk Field, both did exactly that — although Lehman certainly took the biggest step in a 38-6 win.

“It was another step forward,” Lehman coach Richard Roll said. “It really was. We did a lot of good things. And you have to give Troy Christian. You can see how well-coached they are. They are going to be a good team.”

PIQUA And after a rough first half, the Eagles played with a lot of heart in the second half.

“That is one of the things we talked about at halftime,” Troy Christian coach Caleb Brown said. “We talked about playing with class — playing like Eagles. That is a big thing with us.”

Lehman got off to a fast start and never let up.

On the first play, Andrew Gilardi broke through the line of scrimmage and went 50 yards to the Eagles 12. And after two penalties put Lehman in a third-and-29 from the 31, quarterback Dan Davis found Greg Spearman for 27 yards and on fourth-

and-two from the 4 he connected with Joe Vondenhuevel for the touchdown to make it 7-0.

Lehman would go on to score on every possession in the first half — except the final one, when they chose to let the clock run out with the ball on the Eagle 3.

The next four touchdowns were produced by Gilardi, on runs of 1, 16, 24 and 2 yards.

At the same time, Davis and Nick Rourke combined to complete 8 of 10 passes in the opening half for 86 yards.

In the second half, the Eagles found a winning combination in quarterback Christian Willis and running back Tyler Shinall.

While Troy Christian had

just 11 yards rushing in the game, the two connected nine times in the passing game for 121 yards, with 114 of that coming in the final two quarters.

On the Eagles TD drive, Willis had passes of nine, 47 and eight yards to Shinall, before the back took it into the end zone from two yards out.

“He (Tyler Shinall) is our best athlete,” Brown said.

“Believe me, we tried to get him the ball in the first half and we couldn’t do it. You have to give Lehman credit.”

Lehman’s only score after the break came on a 7-yard run by Davis, with Vondenhuevel kicking his second PAT of the night.

• Girls Lebanon 2, Troy 0 LEBANON — Troy struggled for the second straight game against a Greater Western Ohio Conference South Division opponent in crossover play, falling 2-0 at South-leading Lebanon Saturday in a game that was scoreless at the half.

“We were competitive. It just came down to Lebanon being a better team,” Troy coach Mike Rasey said.

“They’re worthy of their ranking in the Dayton area. We handled their pressure early, but eventually they got a goal with 26 minutes left.

“They attacked with numbers all night long and outshot us 16-3. But all of our crossover games are against tough teams. It’s not easy, but you hope this tough schedule gets you ready for the tournament.”

Troy hosts Springboro Monday.

Indian Hill 3, Tippecanoe 2 CINCINNATI — The Tippecanoe Red Devils played back and forth all game along against Indian Hill — ranked No. 2 in Division II — but the Braves scored on a penalty kick two minutes into the second half to escape with a 3-2 win.

After falling behind, Tippecanoe’s Capri Rinke sent a long ball to Sarah Colvin, who tied the score. The

Devils then took the lead after Ellise Sharpe finished off a Morgan Combs corner kick, but Indian Hill tied it in the final minute of the first half — and won it early in the second.

“The girls fought hard all game and really hung in there fighting for 50-50 balls,” Tippecanoe coach Doug Rabe said.

Tippecanoe (5-3-2) travels to Stebbins Monday.

Troy Christian 14, Yellow Springs 1 TROY — The Troy Christian Eagles continued to dominate Metro Buckeye Conference opponents Saturday, beating Yellow Springs 14-1.

Amanda Sloan and Sidney Hefferon each had two goals, Lauren Peters had two goals and four assists, Maddie Rench had a goal and two assists, Jordanne Varvel and Taylor Curtis each had a goal and an assist, Lydia Demmitt, Morgan Haddad, Natalie Krueger, Kihei Paikai, and Karli Riviello each had a goal and Morgan Rench had two assists. Troy Christian (7-0-2) travels to Xenia Christian Tuesday.

“Robert did a tremendous job tonight — all of the seniors did,” Phillips said. “They showed everyone what they can do. They did a terrific job tonight.”

Troy travels to Springboro Tuesday.

Indian Hill 1, Tippecanoe 0 TIPP CITY — The Tippecanoe Red Devils were stung by field conditions — and a possible Saturday curse — falling 1-0 to Indian Hill in non-league play.

It was the third straight Saturday the Red Devils had lost 1-0 after consecutive defeats by Oakwood and Butler.

“The field was a mud pit, and both teams struggled to stand up in the middle of the field,” Tippecanoe coach Scott Downing said. “We usually like to possess the ball, but we told the kids today to play it long and bypass the mid-

field.

“It was a back-and-forth game, bu we made one mistake and they capitalized.”

Tippecanoe (5-3) hosts Stebbins Monday.

Brookville 4, Milton-Union 2 WEST MILTON — Milton-Union couldn’t get over the hump against old rival Brookville Saturday, falling 4-2 in Southwestern Buckeye League crossover play.

Milton-Union (4-4-2) travels to Waynesville Monday.

Lehman 1, Newton 0 SIDNEY — The Lehman Cavaliers (3-5-2) celebrated Senior Night Saturday with a narrow 1-0 victory over Newton.

Senior Matt Ulrich had the game’s only goal, cashing in a Newton turnover.

Lehman outshot Newton 1310 in the game.

“This is the second undefeated team we have faced in the past few days (Botkins and Newton), and we played outstanding against them both, and came away with a victory,” Lehman coach Roger Toon said.

“These two games show that we are progressing towards the tournament.”

Reds assured a losing season PITTSBURGH (AP) — Rookie Josh Harrison had four hits on Saturday night to lead the Pittsburgh Pirates to a 4-3 victory over Cincinnati, assuring the Reds of a losing season a year after they won the NL Central.

Harrison finished a home run shy of the cycle and set a career high for hits as he had two singles, a double and a triple against his former hometown team. The third baseman was the Big East Conference Player of the Year at the University of

Cincinnati in 2008.

In the midst of their 19th straight losing season, the Pirates need one more win for their highest total since 2004.

Cincinnati fell to 76-82 with four games remaining.

The Reds won their first division title in 15 years last season.

Neil Walker added three hits for Pittsburgh.

Indians 8, Twins 2; Indians 7, Twins 6 CLEVELAND — Shelley Duncan drove in three runs in each half of a day-night

doubleheader, and the Cleveland Indians erased a six-run deficit to beat the Minnesota Twins 7-6 on Saturday night for the sweep.

The Indians also won the opener 8-2 behind Duncan, who hit a two-run single with two out in the first and a tiebreaking sacrifice fly in Cleveland’s six-run sixth inning.

Duncan’s two-run single off Matt Capps put Cleveland ahead 7-6 in the seventh inning of the nightcap as the Indians won for

the eighth time in 11 games.

The Twins (60-98) have lost 19 of 21 to reach the second-most losses since the team moved to Minnesota in 1961, ahead of only a 60-102 record in 1982. They have lost eight straight to the Indians.

Two Cleveland rookies earned their first career win.

Left-hander Nick Hagadone (1-0) pitched an inning to get the victory in the second game. Right-hander Zach Putnam (1-0) struck out three over 1 1-3 innings in the opener.

“The guys ran really well today as a group,” Campbell said. “Our top five looked real good today.

They just went out and got after it. We looked good.

Plus we are staying healthy, and that’s key.”

Blake Guillozet and Jared Besecker were the next two finishers for Troy.

Guillozet finished 81st (18:26.74), one spot higher than Besecker, who took 82nd (18:28.96).

The winning team was Kings Mills Kings, which scored 69 points.

Cincinnati Sycamore had 84 points to take silver, while Troy ended the day with 133 points.

Troy senior Cody Fox runs in a pack during the Troy Invitational Saturday.

Campbell said. “I was looking at our times and comparing them, and there are two points that separate us. For now, we’ll just keep working and hopefully the times will keep dropping.

The guys are starting to get that competitive edge that wasn’t there earlier in the year.”

And just in time for the postseason.

• Girls When the boys race ended, it was the girls’ time to shine.

And shine they did.

The young Troy team ran as a group on its way to a sixth-place finish out of 16 teams competing.

“I’m very pleased with where we finished with the type of competition that

was here,” Troy coach Kevin Alexander said.

The first in for Troy was sophomore Katie-Grace Sawka, who was 19th place in a time of 21:16.75, while Caitlyn McMinn was a spot behind her in 20th (21:17.21).

“Katie-Grace Sawka had a great race,” Alexander said. “She played soccer last year and decided to come back to cross country this year.

She’s starting to figure out proper pacing and where she needs to be during races. I think her times are really going to start dropping coming up.”

Freshman Natalie Snyder placed 27th (21:37.37), and fellow freshman Cristina

Dennison ended in 43rd (22:14.77). Senior Hailey Pierce placed 70th (23:07.51) to give the Trojans a total of 173 points. Only two points separated Troy from fifthplace Cincinnati Wyoming in the team standings.

Troy senior Colleen placed 74th Powers (23:16.95) and senior Riley Isely was 75th (23:19.01).

Lebanon scored a total of 60 points to win the team championship.

Miamisburg was second (113 points) and Kings Mills Kings placed third (120).

For the Trojans, seeing the Cincinnati schools now will only benefit them down the road, considering they will have to see them again when the postseason rolls around. But for now, Alexander is just focused on seeing his kids’ times improve on a week-to-week basis.

And it all starts next week at the county meet.

“All of the girls ran very competitive races,” Alexander said. “I really expect big things as we go forward, and I think times are going to drop at the county meet next week.”

Klingler didn’t churn in his best effort time-wise, but the result was similiar as he held off Bethel’s Kyle Hamlin to finish third in a time of 17:14. Hamlin ended in fourth (17:24.2).

“Kyle ran a good race,” Troy Christian coach Jeff McDaniel said. “He was about 25 seconds off his time — but everyone was thanks to the mud.”

The Eagles’ second runner was Max Connover (31st, 19:02.1), Mark Dillahunt was next in (41st, 19:18.1), Blake Klingler finished 48th (19:26.5). Craig Helman ran a 19:50.1 to finish 56th.

Troy Christian placed seventh as a team with a score of 162.

Cameron Keough was Bethel’s second-best finisher at 104th in a time of 22:05.

Versailles was team champion with a score of 34 points.

Botkins placed second (79 points) and Xenia Christian was third (100).

• George Rogers SPRINGFIELD — The Covington girls fielded five runners in the top 27, scoring 69 points on its way to a second-place finish at the George Rogers Invitational Saturday.

Tara Snipes and Heidi Cron finished 12th and 13th, respectively, to lead the Buccs.

Jessie Shilt finished 15th (21:17.07), Heidi Snipes 22nd (22:04.10) and Hannah Retz 27th (22:10.52).

“We had several girls have their best times today on a

course that was quite strenuous,” Covington coach Libby Long said. “They have come a long way since the beginning of the season, and I know they have a lot more to give. They are excited to go back to Milton next weekend to run at the Miami County Invitational.”

Miami East put on a good showing, as well, with 166 points to finish fifth.

Abigel Amheiser was East’s top runner (30th, 22:21.60), Erin Augustus placed 41st (22:56.05), Meretih Wesco placed 44th (23:06.43), Renee Deford 48th (23:26.64) and Abby Hawkins was 49th (23:27.45).

Tecumseh won the meet with a score of 33 points.

The Covington boys have been getting stronger as the season progresses, and it all culminated Saturday with a third-place finish out of the 23 teams at the George Rogers meet.

Lane White had a sensational showing, placing third in a time of 17:21. Dustin Fickert had a time of 17:30 for a sixth-place finish, Alex Schilling was 31st (18:37), Matt Carder 33rd (18:37) and Isaac Canan placed 70th (19:37).

Like its girls team, Tecumseh won the boys race (78 points), while Emmanuel Christian narrowly escaped Covington for the second spot (112 points). The Buccs totaled 123 points.

• Bellbrook BELLBROOK — MiltonUnion had five boys in the top 30 out of 182 runners but still fell just short Saturday at the Bellbrook Invitational.

The Bulldogs ended in second place with 83 points — one point away from winner and host Bellbrook (82 points).

Sergei Brubaker placed third (17:18.14), Logan Jackson was eighth (17:31.39), Cory Klosterman 15th (18:16.11), Troy Tyree placed 28th (18:34.91) and Matt Howard 29th (18:35.24).

that is always good,” Lehman coach Greg Snipes said.

Lehman opened the day with a 25-9, 25-9 win over Oakwood. That set up a much anticipated match with Miami East, which came into the match unbeaten.

“We love playing that kind of competition,” Miami East coach John Cash said.

“If we could play teams like Lehman every night, we would. We know they are going to challenge us, which ultimately is going to get you to where you need to be.

“Greg has helped us a lot.

He helped to get into some bigger tournaments over the summer where we play against better competition.

We have a lot of respect for them and hopefully, they have a lot of respect for us.”

And while the young Vikings may have been intimidated last year when they played the eventual DIV state champs on their home floor, it was a very different story this time around.

It took all Lehman had to outlast the Vikings 22-25, 2521, 25-22 in a matchup filled with great defense.

“Our kids would were looking forward to the match,” Cash said. “I thought we played well for the most part. There were a few lapses we would like to have back.

But we don’t have to wait long to play them again.”

The most critical of those lapses came in the deciding third game after East had closed within 12-11. Lehman went on a 10-2 run finished off by an Ellie Waldsmith kill on Erica Paulus’ serve.

“It was good to see us come back like we did after losing the first game,” Snipes said.

But, trailing 22-14 following an Ashley Current kill, East’s Sam Cash stepped to the service line and served six straight points to make it 22-20.

“Our kids don’t worry about what the score is,” Cash said. “They weren’t going to stop playing hard.

Her (Sam Cash’s serve) takes about a quarter of the court away, so it is tough to time.”

A Lindsey Spearman kill stopped the run and Lehman was able to hold on for the win.

“We got stuck in a bad rotation,” Snipes said. “We just have to do a better job of sideing out.”

Schmitmeyer led the Lehman attack with eight kills, while Waldsmith had five kills and five aces. All four Miami East timeouts called in the match were used to stop runs with Waldsmith at the service line. Thobe had five kills and 17 assists, while Ellie Cain dished out 22 assists.

For East, Abby Cash had 13 assists, eight kills, two blocks nine digs, while Sam Cash had 15 assists, five kills, four blocks and 10 digs.

Leah Dunivan had three kills and six blocks, while Angie Mack had four kills, one block and 10 digs. Kelsey Vanchure had four kills and five blocks, while Ashley Current had four kills and four blocks. Allison Morrett had one kill, one ace and 20 digs, while Allie Millhouse led the defense with 21 digs.

That advanced Lehman to the title match for a second meeting with Piqua.

Piqua had a relatively easy time of it in its first two matches, defeating Oakwood in two games and outlasting Fort Loramie 25-19, 9-25, 2516. And like the first meeting

with Lehman, Piqua was a strong challenge in the title match before Lehman prevailed 26-24, 25-21.

For Lehman (15-2) Waldsmith capped a big day with nine kills, while Schmitmeyer added five and Hatcher had four. Thobe dished out 13 assists and Cain added 10.

Brooke Reinke had seven kills and five digs to lead Piqua.

Lehman will travel to Fort Recovery Monday before the rematch with East Tuesday.

The Vikings (15-1) opened the day with a 25-6, 25-15 win over Graham.

Sam Cash had one dig, two assists, eight kills, one ace and one block, Abby Cash had five digs, 11 assists, four kills and four aces, Dunivan had one dig, two kills, two aces and one block, Mack had six kills, one dig and one ace and Current added a kill.

Morrett had seven digs and Millhouse added five.

East closed the day with a 25-9, 25-13 win over Fort Loramie.

Abby Cash had four kills, one block and four digs, Sam Cash had nine kills, four aces and six digs, Dunivan had one kills, two blocks and four digs; while Mack had three kills, two aces and eight digs.

Current had two blocks, while Vanchure pounded five kills. Morrett had one assist, two aces and 15 digs; while Millhouse added nine digs.

And while the Vikings’ perfect record is gone, that doesn’t bother Cash.

“We are not counting the wins,” he said. “They are all hard practices to get ready for the postseason. And we don’t have to wait long to play them (Lehman) again.”

Centerville 3, Troy 1 CENTERVILLE — The Troy Trojans came up with clutch plays to claim Game 1 Saturday at Centerville.

But the Elks (11-2) took over from there, putting Troy out of sorts with tough serving in a 26-28, 25-14, 25-12, 25-12 Greater Western Ohio Conference crossover match.

“We started out strong in Game 1, but like we have, we came out flat in Game 2 — and throughout the rest of the match we started to struggle,” Troy coach Michelle Owen said. “Our serve receive struggled, and we couldn’t get the offense we wanted to. They were in system a lot — and we were out of system.”

Jenna Selby had 10 kills to lead Troy, Leah Selby had eight kills, Marie Rank had six kills and three blocks, Jenn Monnier had three kills and Emily Moser had two kills. Chelsey Sakal had 18 assists and five aces — three during a critical run at the end of the first game — Mackenzie Rice had seven assists, Cassandra Rice had 12 digs, Tori Fenter had nine digs and Dani Wright had eight digs.

Troy (10-6) hosts Sidney on Senior Night Tuesday before traveling to Piqua Thursday in search of a share of the GWOC North title.

Newton 2, TV 0; Dixie 2, Newton 1 PLEASANT HILL — Newton split a tri-match at home Saturday, routing TriVillage in the early match before falling to Dixie in three.

The Indians beat TriVillage 25-16, 25-21 and began the match with Dixie with a 25-14 win, but the Greyhounds rebounded and took the last two games 2520, 25-22.

Buckeyes ■ CONTINUED FROM 9 Bauserman was 2 of 14 for 13 yards and Miller hit on only 2 of 4 in the final few seconds of a lost cause for 22 yards with an interception.

Against Colorado, Miller completed only 5 of 13 passes for 83 yards. But he threw scoring strikes covering 32 and 17 yards to Smith and also ran for 83 yards on 17 carries.

“He gave us a lift,” said Ohio State interim coach Luke Fickell. “He gave us some things we needed.”

Ahead 20-7 at the half, the Buckeyes only had to drive 50 yards before Miller hit Smith with his second scoring pass. After Colorado countered with a field goal, Hall brought the kickoff back 90 yards before he was brought down from behind at the 5. Hyde then scored on a sweep on the next play to make it 34-10.

Colorado (1-3) has not won a road game since Oct. 27, 2007, at Texas Tech.

Ohio State.”

Averaging 26 points and almost 394 yards per game, the mistake-prone Buffaloes did amass 314 yards but still were never in the game.

Tyler Hansen, who threw for 474 yards and three touchdowns in an overtime loss at California, had TD passes of 11 yards to Toney Clemons and 14 yards to Tyler McCulloch.

Hansen completed 22 of 39 passes for 238 yards with no interceptions.

The Buffaloes, with just one turnover in their first three games, lost two fumbles in the first half while falling behind by two touchdowns. They also had nine

penalties and several other mistakes.

After their first possession, Darragh O’Neill shanked a punt that covered just 20 yards and put the Buckeyes in control at the Buffaloes 43. Seven plays later, Hall vaulted up the middle for the touchdown.

Tailback Rodney Stewart and Hansen miscommunicated on a handoff with no defender around after the ensuing kickoff, the ball coming free with Ohio State’s Adam Bellamy falling on it at the Colorado 22. Basil then converted a 28-yard field goal for a 10-0 lead.

Alabama rolls over Arkansas Falcons win Oklahoma State holds on for 30-29 win over A&M on 96-yard TD By the Associated Press

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — The Crimson Tide scored on special teams, defense and using the old-fashioned power run to emphatically win the SEC West showdown.

AJ McCarron completed 15 of 20 passes for 200 yards and two touchdowns, including a 37-yard TD pass to Michael Williams on a fake field goal for the Tide (4-0, 10 Southeastern Conference).

Marquis Maze scored on an 83-yard punt return and DeQuan Menzie returned an interception 25 yards for another score.

Tyler Wilson sat out most of the fourth quarter after completing 22 of 35 passes for 185 yards and two touchdowns for Arkansas (3-1, 0-1).

No. 6 Wisconsin 59, South Dakota 10 MADISON, Wis. — Nick Toon had a career-high 155 yards receiving and two touchdowns in Wisconsin’s final tune-up for Nebraska at Camp Randall next week.

Wisconsin (4-0) recovered from a slow start to take control of the game with a 21-point outburst in the final six minutes of the second quarter.

James White had a 49yard touchdown run, Toon scored on a 59-yard catchand-run from quarterback Russell Wilson and Toon added another score with 12 seconds left to send Wisconsin into halftime with a 31-3 lead.

Wilson had another big day for the Badgers, completing 19 of 25 passes for 345 yards and three touchdowns before taking a seat in the fourth quarter.

Quarterback Dante Warren struggled for South Dakota (2-2), a Football Championship Subdivision school. He eventually was replaced by Josh Vander Maten, who led the Coyotes to a late score.

Troy High School graduate Jake Current played for Wisconsin No. 7 Ok. State 30, No. 8 Texas A&M 29 The first big game on the season in the Big 12 went to Oklahoma State, with Brandon Weeden leading the Cowboys from behind at Texas A&M. Weeden threw for a school-record 438 yards and two scores as No. 7 Oklahoma State rallied for a 30-29 win over the Aggies on Saturday.

Oklahoma State won its fourth straight in the series with Texas A&M, a series that is likely to be put on hold when the Aggies’ move to the SEC is complete.

The Cowboys also won their seventh overall on the road in the first top 10 matchup at Kyle Field since 1975.

Clemson 35, No. 11 Fla. State 30 CLEMSON, S.C. — Tajh Boyd threw for three touchdowns and ran for another as Clemson opened Atlantic Coast Conference play with a victory.

Alabama quarterback A.J. McCarron (10) throws to a receiver against Arkansas during the first half Saturday in Tuscaloosa, Ala. Seminoles (2-2, 0-1) for the fifth straight time in Death Valley.

Watkins finished with eight catches for 141 yards, his second consecutive 100yard receiving game.

Florida State played without starting quarterback EJ Manuel, hurt in last week’s 23-13 loss to topranked Oklahoma. Backup Clint Trickett kept the Seminoles in this, though, with 336 yards and three touchdown passes.

No. 13 V. Tech 30, Marshall 10 HUNTINGTON, W.Va. — David Wilson rushed for 132 yards, Josh Oglesby scored two touchdowns and Virginia Tech won its final tuneup before opening Atlantic Coast Conference play against Clemson.

It was another lackluster win over an opponent from a non-BCS conference for the Hokies, who are off to their first 4-0 start since 2006.

Virginia Tech displayed some big-play ability and kept the turnover-prone Thundering Herd (1-3) in their own end for much of the game. But Marshall continued to expose Tech’s vulnerabilities in the worrisome way East Carolina and Arkansas State did earlier this season.

No. 20 TCU 55, Portland State 13 FORT WORTH, Texas — TCU scored three touchdowns in a span of 1:18 just before halftime and Waymon James ran 65 yards for a score on the first play of the second half as the Horned Frogs won easily.

The Horned Frogs (3-1) extended a school record with their 22nd consecutive

win at home. But they were still tied 3-3 with the lowerdivision FCS team until finally busting loose just before halftime.

Casey Pachall threw a short pass to Josh Boyce, who turned upfield to find a wide-open lane for a 66-yard touchdown with 1:55 left.

Portland State (1-2) took only one snap after that before Tank Carder’s 26yard interception return for a TD. After the Vikings went three-and-out on their next possession, Skye Dawson followed his 42-yard punt return with a 10-yard TD catch for a 24-3 halftime lead.

No. 22 Michigan 28, SDSU 7 ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Denard Robinson ran for a season-high 200 yards and three touchdowns to lead the Wolverines past Michigan coach Brady Hoke’s former team.

Robinson ran 21 times and reached 200 yards rushing for the third time in his career for Michigan (4-0).

He matched his career high with three rushing scores and did it in one half for the first time.

San Diego State (3-1) had won its first three games for the first time since 1981, Ryan Lindley and the offense started slowly against Michigan.

Lindley completed 23 of 48 passes for 253 yards and a TD. Ronnie Hillman ran for 109 yards on 21 carries.

No. 24 Illinois 23, Western Michigan 20 CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — Troy Pollard ran for a career-high 133 yards and Derek Dimke kicked three field goals as Illinois survived.

The Illini trailed at the half 13-10 and the game was tied 20-20 with less than nine minutes to play. Booing Illini fans recalled a 23-17 loss to the Broncos (2-2) the last time the teams met in 2008.

Pollard’s 49-yard burst midway through the fourth quarter set up a 21-yard Dimke field goal that gave the Illini (4-0) the threepoint lead they wouldn’t give up.

Alex Carder was 30 of 48 with two touchdowns, 306 yards and one interception.

His second-quarter scoring pass to Chleb Ravenell gave the Broncos their halftime lead. Jordan White caught 14 passes for 132 yards and a third-quarter touchdown that tied the game at 20.

No. 25 G. Tech 35, UNC 28 ATLANTA — Tevin Washington threw a long touchdown pass and ran for two scores, including a 5yarder that gave Georgia Tech a 4-0 start.

The Tar Heels (3-1, 1-1 ACC) fought back from a 2814 deficit, tying the game on freshman Giovani Bernard’s 55-yard run with 7:22 left.

Georgia Tech (4-0, 1-0) needed only four plays to respond.

Roddy Jones reached out to take a pitch from Washington that looked too far in front of the running back, going 48 yards down the sideline to the North Carolina 9. Two snaps later, Washington took it in for the winning score with 5:20 left.

Stephen Hill had a huge game for Georgia Tech with six receptions for 151 yards, including a 59-yard touchdown. Bernard rushed for 155 yards and two TDs.

OXFORD — After Miami (Ohio) drew within a touchdown early in the fourth quarter, Anthon Samuel sped a record 96 yards to give Bowling Green the clinching touchdown in a 37-23 victory Saturday in the MidAmerican Conference opener for both teams. It was the longest run in Bowling Green history, and tied a Yager Stadium record for the longest run from scrimmage.

Matt Schilz completed 19 of 24 passes for 183 yards and three touchdowns to three different Bowling Green receivers.

But the Falcons (3-1) needed Samuel’s record run after Miami quarterback Zac Dysert’s 1-yard run drew the RedHawks (0-3) within 30-23 early in the fourth quarter.

Wittenberg 38, Allegheny 3 SPRINGFIELD — Wittenberg ran off 38 unanswered points after Allegheny took an early lead, cruising to a 38-3 victory Saturday.

Tecumseh High School graduate Josh McKee caught three touchdown passes from Ben Zoeller — an 80-yarder, a 31-yarder and a 33-yarder. He finished with seven catches for 179 yards, while Zoeller went 16 for 24 for 294 yards and three scores.

Reed Florence had 77 yards and two touchdowns on five carries on the ground as the Tigers (4-0, 2-0) outgained Allegheny 444-300.

Mt. St. Joseph 28, Bluffton 17 CINCINNATI — Bluffton had no answer for Mount St. Joseph’s Clay James, who scored three touchdowns Saturday to lead his team to a 28-17 victory.

James had 132 yards on 10 carries and scored on runs of 29, 7 and 13 yards to help Mount St. Joseph (3-0, 2-0) stay unbeaten.

Troy High School graduate Tyler Wright was 9 for 14 passing for 97 yards and had 48 yards on the ground on 11 carries — and scored on a 15-yard run.

Rose-Hulman 31, Hanover 20 TERRE HAUTE, ind. — Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology scored 24 first quarter points to earn a 3120 Homecoming victory over Hanover College on Saturday afternoon.

Kyle Kovach led the Engineers with 124 yards on 36 carries, including a 49-yard touchdown run, and Mitch Snyder was 12 for 25 for 112 yards and two scores passing.

Tippecanoe High School graduate Ryan Landwehr plays for Rose-Hulman.

Walsh 22, Urbana 20 URBANA — On a dreary Saturday afternoon at Urbana University Stadium, the Blue Knight football team outplayed visiting Walsh University in nearly every facet of the game except one — Urbana could not overcome five critical turnovers in a 22-20 loss, snapping the Blue Knights’ win streak at two.

Walsh capitalized on the turnovers and earned their

first victory of the season, despite not scoring an offensive touchdown. Also, the Cavs (1-3) continued their dominance in this cross-state rival, racking up their 16th win in 17 tries over the Blue Knights.

Each of the past two wins in the series have come by a combined three points.

High Milton-Union School graduate Kyle Wallace started at center for Urbana.

Dayton 17, Central State 7 WILBERFORCE — Taylor Harris rushed for two touchdowns to lead Dayton past Central State, Ohio, 17-7 on Saturday.

The Flyers (3-1) have won seven straight games over the Division II Marauders.

Dayton trailed 7-3 at halftime before Harris scored twice in the second half. A 2-yard run with 9:33 to play in the third quarter gave Dayton a 10-7 lead, then his 17-yard run with 1:35 to play in the game sealed the deal for the Flyers. Harris rushed for 101 yards on 17 carries.

Lehman High School graduate Dan Jacob had 31 yards on eight carries for Dayton.

Akron 36, VMI 13 AKRON — Akron rushed for 294 yards and amassed 534 yards total offense in a 36-13 rout of Virginia Military Institute Saturday. The matchup of winless teams was no contest at all, not with Akron’s Clayton Moore passing for 223 yards and three touchdowns.

The Zips (1-3) got on the board early and often, opening up a quick 14-0 lead and leading 29-7 at halftime. Moore threw two touchdown passes to Keith Sconiers, the first a 31yarder to open the scoring in the first quarter.

Sconiers scored again in the second period on a 10yard touchdown pass, one of his eight receptions totaling 154 yards.

Syracuse 33, Toledo 30 SYRACUSE, N.Y. — Syracuse cornerback Kevyn Scott made an interception in the end zone on the first play of overtime, Ross Krautman kicked four field goals, including the 27-yard winner, and the Orange held off Toledo 3330 on Saturday.

It was the third straight loss to a BCS team for Toledo (1-3) and the third straight home win for Syracuse (3-1). The Orange won their second OT game this season.

Rutgers 38, Ohio 26 PISCATAWAY, N.J. — Mohamed Sanu had a record-setting 16 catches for 176 yards and two touchdowns as Rutgers knocked error-prone Ohio from the unbeaten ranks with a 38-26 victory Saturday.

Notre Dame 15, Pittsburgh 12 PITTSBURGH — Notre Dame quarterback Tommy Rees shrugged off a miserable first three quarters to hit tight end Tyler Eifert for a 6-yard touchdown with less than 7 minutes to go and lift the Fighting Irish to a 15-12 win over Pittsburgh on Saturday.

SIRTE, Libya (AP) — With NATO jets roaring overhead, revolutionary forces fought their way into Moammar Gadhafi’s hometown Saturday in the first significant push into the stubborn stronghold in about a week.

Libya’s new leaders also tried to move on the political front, promising to announce in the coming week a new interim government that it hopes will help unite the country. However, disagreements remain about what the Cabinet should look like.

The National Transitional Council led the rebellion that forced Gadhafi into hiding and has taken over the leadership of the oil-rich North African nation even as it continues to fight forces still loyal to the fugitive leader.

The NTC-appointed prime minister, Mahmoud Jibril, sought support from leaders at the United Nations on Saturday, telling them that “a new Libya is

coming to life” as a nation committed to democracy, equality and reintegration into the international community. He said the council was committed to drafting a constitution that would be put to the Libyans for a referendum.

More than a month after seizing Tripoli and effectively ending Gadhafi’s rule, revolutionary forces have been unable to rout well-armed Gadhafi loyalists from strongholds in his hometown of Sirte, Bani Walid and some southern enclaves. Taking the cities is key for Libya’s new leaders to extend their control over the large desert nation.

Explosions rocked Sirte throughout the day as fighters pushing in on four roads came under heavy fire from loyalist snipers and artillery guns. Along the city’s main thoroughfare, they faced close-range gunfights with loyalists hiding in apartment buildings and throwing hand grenades at

them from windows.

Moftah Mohammed, 28, said snipers shot two of his friends as they advanced to fire a rocket-propelled grenade on a loyalist truck.

When others approached to help the wounded, Gadhafi supporters opened fire and hurled hand grenades, injuring two more.

By evening, however, the fighters had pushed east along the city’s main thoroughfare into its urban center, overrunning a TV station and pushing loyalists farther back. NATO warplanes patrolled overhead during the fighting, and revolutionary commanders said airstrikes took out some loyalist tanks, although that could not be confirmed immediately.

Walls along the town’s main boulevard were pockmarked from heavy caliber machine-gun rounds, and the charred metal hulks of cars lined the streets in front of shuttered shops, some of which had been torched.

Putin to run again in 2012 MOSCOW (AP) — Vladimir Putin said Saturday he’ll run for Russia’s presidency next year, almost certainly ensuring he’ll retake the office and foreshadowing years more of a strongman rule that many in the West have criticized as a retreat from democracy. The announcement sets up the possibility that Putin could reign over Russia until 2024.

In nominating Putin on Saturday, his United Russia party also approved his proposal that President Dmitry Medvedev take over Putin’s current role as prime minister. Putin took over the premiership after serving as president from 2000-2008, bowing to term

limits. But he was always the more powerful figure, with Medvedev viewed as a caretaker president.

Putin’s return to the presidency also is unlikely to ease Russia’s dispute with the United States over the building of a European missile-defense system. Economic pressures, however, could push Putin to pursue more business-friendly policies, analysts said.

During his presidency, Putin ruled Russia with a steely command, bringing about a system known as “managed democracy” that saw opposition politicians all but eliminated from the national eye. His personal popularity aided his

maneuvering.

Many Russians view Putin as the strong, decisive figure needed by a sprawling country troubled by corruption, an Islamist insurgency and massive economic inequality.

Putin cultivates an image of absolute certainty, substantial strength and acerbic humor.

His nomination at a congress of the United Russia party ends months of intense speculation as to whether he would seek to return to the Kremlin or whether he would allow the more mild-mannered and reform-leaning Medvedev to seek another term in next year’s election.

RIGHT: Owner Joe Goodall stands outside Troy Lumber Co., located since 2003 in a former Hobart Brothers building at 701 W. Water St.

‘We’re still here’ Troy Lumber continues on after move, and despite the sluggish economy

BY RON OSBURN Staff Writer rosburn@tdnpublishing.com roy Lumber Co. has been selling lumber, windows, doors and hardware for more than 90 years, making it one of the oldest, continuously operating independent small businesses in the city.

Yet, owner Joe Goodall acknowledged, “sometimes we have to fight the perception we’re not around anymore. We’re still here,” the genial, low-key Goodall said recently during a tour of his business, located in a somewhat out-of-the way brick industrial building on Water Street, between Adams Street and Elm Street.

Goodall, 55, admits his location — a 40,000square-foot former Hobart Brothers building at 701 W. Water St. — is problematic. After all, for 81 years, Troy Lumber Co. occupied a highly visible 3-acre site at the corner of South Market Street and West Market Street, complete with what had become one of the city’s most recognizable structures — a 90foot-wide-by-256-foot-long storage barn made entirely of wood, with large glass windows spanning the entire length of the barn along South Market Street.

Goodall, a Troy native and 1974 Troy High grad, conceded the barn was a particularly prominent local structure. But it had no historical designation, and, he said, it was inefficient for a modern lumber operation. In late 2002, Goodall made the decision to tear down the barn, sell the site (which is now a Walgreens drug store) and move to the Water Street building.

“We needed to move. We were out of room and (the former location) was inefficient. When we found this new location, it solved our space and our logistics problems. It’s worked well for us,” Goodall said, adding, without offering specifics, that he received “a very good price” from Walgreens.

Troy Lumber has historically specialized in supplying to the local residential homebuilding and remodeling industry. And for several years after the move, business was good.

In fact, the period from 2004 until late 2007 were what Goodall called “boom times” for Troy Lumber, matching the national housing boom.

In 2007, Troy Lumber employed 13 full-time workers, and had sales of $3.5 million, Goodall said.

Then the bottom fell out of the local housing market, and the national and world economy in general.

“Business just tanked, starting around 2008.

Maybe even before that,” Goodall said.

Since then, Goodall has been guiding Troy Lumber through difficult, changing times, as the local residential market has dried up.

The city of Troy has approved just a few dozen single-family residential housing lots since 2009, and while county building

We’ve kept our core location at 701 W. Water St. pretty successful for us,” he said.

In addition, Goodall has leased out unused portions of his building to three small businesses, including a small custom machine manufacturer and office space for a janitorial company and for Eagle Bridge, the Sidney construction company that is working on the nearby Adams Street Bridge replacement project.

He said he’s leased about 7,000 square feet and is seeking a tenant for a 10,000-square-foot area of unused space that is accessible through its own dedicated entrance on the east side of building.

It’s space Goodall said is not needed by Troy Lumber and it’s just another way to keep revenues coming in during lean times.

“When we first moved here, we had all this room to grow (and) I couldn’t believe how smart I was.

Now I think, how dumb could I have been,” Goodall said, making light of his plight with a good-natured laugh.

IT HAPPENED YEARS AGO

BY PATRICK D. KENNEDY For the Troy Daily News 25 Years Ago: Sept. 25-Oct. 8, 1986 • TIPP CITY — Keith Koble did what they asked him to do, but then he had to return to his original idea in the end.

Developer Keith Koble was all set to build a nice subdivision, which met all city regulations, on a street near Hathaway Trail, but the city manager and planning board requested he widen the street so any on-street parking would not cause congestion or hazards. Koble did not see this as a problem and he was willing to do it at his cost. Mr. Koble needed to submit variance requests to the zoning board in order to widen the streets, as suggested, but when he did so the vote failed to pass.

Therefore, Koble will go ahead with the development as originally planned before the request was made. City Manager Greg Horn expressed disappointment that the suggested changes were not accepted.

• TROY — The residents of Westbrook have tried to be patient and the city council has offered possible solutions to the problem, only to be rejected.

After several years of wet basements in the spring and fall, as a result of bad drainage in the Westbrook sundivision, it is time for everyone involved to take steps together and work toward a solution. The residents of Westbrook have exhibited some patience as they continue to experience problems whenever there is any substantial amount of rain, but when they complain they need to realize the city council has offered solutions to relieve the bad situation only to be criticized and rejected. It is time to work together and find a

HIGHLIGHT IN HISTORY 146 Years Ago: Sept. 25-Oct. 8, 1865 • MIAMI COUNTY — Prices of eating goods, which have been high, are promised to decrease soon. Some of the prices in this area are: Beef-in Troy, 15 cents; Piqua, 20 cents and Dayton, 25 cents. Pork is selling for 20 cents, but it can be had for 10-12 cents, if you are able to butcher it yourself. Butter is dear at 50 cents per pound and this is more than what it costs in Cincinnati. These prices, of necessity, will decrease as commerce and regular business slowly returns to levels prior to the war.

remedy.

50 Years Ago: Sept. 25-Oct. 8, 1961 • CONOVER — Tragedy has struck our county again with the death of a lovely young lady from Conover. Lillian Roemisch, 16-year-old daughter of Attorney Lewis and Mrs. Lillian Roemisch of Conover, was killed when the car she was driving went off the Troy-Urbana Road near the county line. Miss Roemisch and two friends, Sandra Stine and Georgia Roegner, were returning from an evening at the St. Paris Fall Festival. Miss Roegner had already been dropped off at home when the accident occurred. Miss Stine is in serious condition at Stouder Hospital. Miss Roemisch will be missed by all her friends and family. Our prayers and sympathy are with the Roemisch family and with Miss Stine for her recovery.

• PLEASANT HILL — A young men’s singing quartet from Ashland University sang at the First Brethren Church on Sunday, Oct. 1, as one of the last performances of a tour through the southeastern and eastern United States. The members of the group are Marlin McCann, youth director

at Ashland; Bill Weidenhamer, a junior at Ashland; Bill Winter of Udall, Kansas; and Eugene Oburn, whose hometown is Pleasant Hill. (Columnist’s Note: Wow! Eugene, I bet it seems like that was just a few years ago! And here you are just a (Uhh) few years later still singing. Although I am sure you and the guys were talented I think you and your current singing partner are just fine together.)

75 Years Ago: Sept. 25-Oct. 8, 1936 • TROY — Residents of the community will have the opportunity to meet candidates for various offices on Thursday, Oct. 8, when a large Republican meeting will be held at the Lincoln Community Center on Ash Street. The Rev. Charles H. Wilkins, pastor of the Richards Chapel Methodist Episcopal Church, will serve as the master of ceremonies. Free refreshments and a 20-voice glee club will also be enjoyed by all in attendance.

• MIAMI COUNTY — The commissioners have allotted a little over $4,000 for relief during the month of October. The cities of Troy and Piqua and eight townships will divide the funds

to assist families in their respective district. Although relief is still needed by many families in the county, most districts, and the county overall, have seen a decrease in the relief rolls.

Bethel, Brown, Lost Creek and Staunton Townships did not request funds for October.

100 Years Ago: Sept. 25-Oct. 8, 1911 • TROY — The local Democrat contingent held their organizational meeting and election of officers recently in the party headquarters over the Henne Shoe Store on West Main Street. In preparation of the municipal election they chose G.B. Hatfield as president, S. McLain as secretary and J.S. Combs as the treasurer.

• TROY — The county commissioners last night (Oct. 4) decided to award the contract for both the razing of the old Adams Street Bridge and the construction of the new bridge to the Hackendorn Construction Company of Indianapolis, Indiana. The new Adams Street Bridge will be a concrete structure, as urged by many citizens and deemed as financially expedient by the commissioners. *Miami County-There is no hesitation in stating that this year the county fair was the best in its history. A large number of people were able to enjoy the many exhibits of livestock and produce in the most beautiful weather. The horse racing was exciting and we had very few arrests on account of bad behavior. The only sad event of the fair was the tragic crash of aviator Frank Miller and his aeroplane. Many were pleasantly surprised by the display of all the work of the county school children. There is little doubt all

of the school children will be finding books to read as the state library had a nice display of circulating books from their collection.

120 Years Ago: Sept. 25-Oct. 8, 1891 • MIAMI COUNTY — There was some hope that the fair board would take up the offer of Superintendent Knight and “electrify” the county fair this week past but, alas, it did not happen. We are hopeful the board will look into the possibilities and advantages of having electric lights as an atraction for thousands of visitors. It would keep our fair equal with many other counties in the state.

When the train stopped at the depot the bovine dismounted like any other passenger and did not seem to be injured in any manner. Farmers take note, if you are missing a “Bessie,” perhaps she caught another locomotive and is heading further south.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Maybe there’s no crying in baseball, but that doesn’t mean you can’t have a good wine.

As the World Series approaches, fans of the grape and the great American pastime have more choices than ever with a number of wines, including some high-end vintages, on tap to wash down those hot dogs and Cracker Jack.

“You certainly find more wine in a ballpark than you used to, at least the upscale ballparks,” says Kevin Reichard, publisher of Ballpark Digest.com.

The trend goes handin-glove with the general

sprucing up of food options at the park. Your hot dogs these days may very well be artisanal sausages grilled before your eyes. At Safeco Field in Seattle you can even get sushi, Reichard points out.

Sixth-generation grape-grower Tim Carl of Huge Bear wines is a big supporter of the trend.

Huge Bear’s small-lot wines are sold at Fenway Park in Boston their wines are also at TD Garden, formerly the Boston Garden and home of the NHL Stanley Cup champion Bruins.

just looking for standard beer or mass-produced wines. They’re much more sophisticated from a food and wine standpoint,” says Carl. “What the parks have been really good at doing is creating great food venues and now they’re coming to realize that there is a real demand for some of these more unique wines.”

At Aramark, the food and hospitality provider that manages a number of sporting venue concessions, officials have been surveying customers to find out what they want in menus, says Andrew Shipe, vice president of culinary and marketing for Aramark Sports.

Five years or so ago, wine was mostly limited to the premium seats. But these days it’s more likely to be in the main concourse, Shipe says.

Aramark, which runs the food and beverage operations at Fenway Park among others, picks its wines carefully, inviting industry insiders to provide a run down on consumer trends and holding intensive tasting sessions.

In addition to the usual chardonnays and cabernet sauvignons, they’ve recently been adding hot new varieties to wine

choices, including malbec, the popular red wine from Argentina, and moscato, a sweeter white wine that has been gaining fans.

There’s no huge shift in buying patterns during the playoffs, though sales tend to be more robust and red wines strike it hot during the cooler month of October, says Shipe.

AT&T Park in San Francisco has been widely praised for its extensive food and drink offerings and, not surprisingly, has a varied wine list, too.

Wines available include Rosenblum zinfandel, Vinum Vineyards chardonnay and cabernet sauvignon and Borgo Magredo prosecco.

For season-ticket holders at AT&T there also are once-a-month tastings of Signorello Estate’s cabernet sauvignon, also available in the luxury suites.

Signorello marketing director and Giants fan Ryan Shenk thinks tastes are evolving at the ballpark. “People like to enjoy fine wine at a ball game,” he says. “Being so close to Napa and Sonoma, the premium wine regions, we’re pretty lucky to have a good selection at the ballpark and we’re happy to be a part of that.”

Outdoor orientation programs on rise Wilderness programs help freshmen adjust to college life HANOVER, N.H. (AP) — If Dartmouth College freshman Mohammed Aftisse ends up making tons of friends and trying lots of new experiences in the next four years, he might owe it all to a giant sow named Randy.

Coming to Dartmouth from his home in New York City, Aftisse had no idea what he was getting into when he signed up to spend five days last week on a Vermont farm as part of the college’s outdoor orientation program. But after tending chickens, cows and a litter of piglets birthed by the enormous Randy, he said the experience far exceeded his expectations about how much fun he’d have and how much he would get out of it. He initially was nervous about getting along with new people, but ended up convinced that making friends at Dartmouth would be a breeze.

“I don’t think I could have chosen anything else to better prepare me,” he said. “I totally stepped out of my comfort zone in choosing farm living, and it was so much fun. There was not one downside. So it definitely encouraged me to do that more often in terms of anything, like taking classes and just my time in college.”

Since Dartmouth pioneered the concept in 1935, outdoor orientation programs have spread to colleges and universities across the country, grown in size and changed in scope. But the wilderness programs all share the same goal: to help freshmen adjust to college life even before they enter a classroom.

Unlike traditional orientation programs that focus on familiarizing students with institutional policies and campus layout, outdoor orientation programs tend to emphasize social interaction, team work and self-confidence.

Last year, Brent Bell, assistant professor of outdoor education at the University of New Hampshire, published the firstever census of outdoor orientation

AP PHOTO/JIM COLE

In this Sept. 14 photo, students play a networking game during freshman orientation at Dartmouth College’s Moosilauke Ravine Lodge, in Warren, N.H. A University of New Hampshire professor who has done extensive research on outdoor orientation programs says that at a time when many colleges and universities are becoming more risk-averse, the number of outdoor orientation programs is growing. programs at the nation’s colleges.

His research shows that more than 17,000 students from 164 colleges and universities attended outdoor orientation programs in 2006, typically backcountry trips led by upperclassmen before classes start.

An average of 10 new programs were added each year between 2000-2006. And while Bell is still researching how many have been added since then, he estimates the growth rate has doubled. As of Friday, he counted 200 programs, or 11 percent of the nation’s four-year residential colleges and universities.

While most schools have stayed true to the outdoor adventure model, Bell says some have expanded their offerings to attract a broader group of people.

For example, Colby College in Maine, which has one of the few mandatory outdoor orientation programs, offers trips focused on painting, “mindfulness and meditation,” and photography, as well as backpacking, surfing and rock climbing. Accommodations can be

made for students with disabilities.

Like Colby, student leaders in Dartmouth’s programs have revamped the trips to make them more eco-friendly, said Dan Nelson, director of outdoor programs. And like Colby, Dartmouth has begun adding different types of trips, such as nature writing and photography. This year, 97 percent of freshmen participated.

West Virginia University has gone a step further, offering trips tailored to specific majors, such as journalism and business.

Participants visit people working in those fields and get a chance to build bonds with future classmates, said Greg Corio, who developed the school’s outdoor orientation program in 2003.

From an initial enrollment of 14 students, the program now has grown to about 600 participants this year, he said. In addition to attending trips, students meet in classrooms throughout the fall and write essays about their experiences to earn college credit.

Corio said the program’s value

shows up in an analysis of how many students return to campus after their freshman year. For students who participate, the retention rate is about 87 percent, or 10 percentage points higher than the rate among non-participants, he said.

“We’re seeing the impact on students,” he said. “It makes a huge difference in having that community and sense of belonging to the institution.”

In the last several years, Corio has noticed in the post-trip essays more references to life without cell phones. Like many schools, West Virginia doesn’t allow cell phones or musical devices on the trips. Cut off from Facebook and text messages, students are reporting that they are making stronger and better friendships, he said.

Andrew Jillings, director of the 28-year-old outdoor orientation program at New York’s Hamilton College, said he has faced a similar scenario. Students are no less physically fit than they were in the past, but there is a “separa-

tion issue” that comes with taking away the digital accessories.

“It’s a bit of a shock for some students,” he said. “I spend a lot of time with the leaders on how to get students to sit and literally look around at each other and have a conversation.”

A main focus for Jillings has been hiring trip leaders who understand that their job is not to sprinkle a bit of orientation into a wilderness program but to give freshmen a solid introduction in a wilderness setting.

“I don’t necessarily hire the most rugged, woodsy leaders,” he said. programs generally The charge students an extra fee, often about $50 per day, said Bell, who calculated the average charge in 2006 at $291. In the past, students at larger colleges applied for financial aid directly from the orientation program, but Bell said more schools are now providing financial support through their financial aid offices or are paying for the programs entirely.

Grandparents with webcam become new online stars McMINNVILLE, Ore. (AP) — It slowly began to dawn on Esther and Bruce Huffman that perhaps they were being filmed.

“Warning,” the grayhaired, bespectacled grandmother reads off the screen.

“You must stop recording before trying to close cyber link.”

Pause. “Maybe this recorded us,” says the neatly coiffed, rosy-cheeked man next to her.

“Aw, gee,” Esther replies.

The realization came toward the end of a nearly three-minute video that has

launched the retired Oregon couple to YouTube stardom.

They had unwittingly captured their first attempt at learning how to work the webcam on a new laptop.

The Huffmans met a couple of years after Bruce’s first wife died, at the retirement complex in which they both lived. She liked his vivacity; he thought she would be a sturdy rudder to his boundless energy.

In the video, she plays the straight man as she tries to make a serious attempt at the request of their children and grand-

children. He’s bouncing in his seat next to her, making monkey faces.

Esther had bought a laptop late this summer.

Already a Facebook user, she was asked by her family to try recording videos for the amusement of the grandchildren.

In mid-August, the couple sat in front of their laptop, fiddling with the controls of a video recording program. Somehow, they got the program running.

Somehow, they pressed “record.”

It was filming as Bruce

jokingly fretted about his appearance. “I’m so sad, Esther, I’m so sad,” Bruce says with a sad-clown expression. “Look at all the wrinkles up there and the cracks in my head.”

There is singing.

“Hello my darling, hello my baby, hello my ga-dohgo,” Bruce intones, sliding from Looney Tunes into gibberish. “Lala-te-ki-ka.”

Bruce makes faces, leaning close to the laptop screen and blowing out his cheeks: “Now look at the monkey. That’s a pretty good monkey!”

When the couple realizes the webcam might have been recording their antics, they stiffen. But their 21year-old granddaughter, Mindy, saw the video’s potential. With their permission, she uploaded the file, dubbing it “Webcam 101 for Seniors.” By Thursday, it was nearing 3 million views on YouTube.

In the crush of media that has descended on them, the Huffmans struggle to explain what made the video so compelling. After all, it was just a couple minutes of two Oregonians in a

retirement community doing … well, not much.

Perhaps, Esther said, people were attracted to its joy. We’re under such a negative news barrage daily, she said. War, crime, natural disasters wouldn’t people rather watch an 86year-old man singing Looney Tunes?

Lynette Paulson, Esther’s daughter, ventured that the unmitigated happiness in the video resonates with viewers.

“They want to see that joy,” Paulson said. “It just brings you up.”

VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITY In the event of local or national emergencies, American Red Cross leads the way in disaster response and relief. Helping manage daily activities is essential to remain organized and prepared.

American Red Cross of the Northern Miami Valley needs up to 10 volunteers to support local office staff.

These volunteers will act as receptionists and serve in the organization’s local service center in Troy. Volunteers will answer and direct telephone calls, greet visitors and direct them to the appropriate department, provide information, prepare letters and other mail, refer visitors and callers to other appropriate services, enter data and organize records.

Receptionists must have good phone etiquette, communication skills and computer skills, and be friendly and organized. Volunteers should be at least 18 years old. Orientation and training are provided by a staff member. Volunteers may serve a weekly half-day shift at their convenience during the service center’s open hours. The service center in Troy is open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day of the week, but volunteer time served on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays is preferred.

“We rely on volunteers, and they are so important in our service centers,” says Janice Goodrich, administrative services director. “They allow staff to spend needed time developing programs

and providing vital services for the community.”

To learn more about this volunteer opportunity or other opportunities within the community, contact HandsOn West Central Ohio at (937) 778-5220, Ext. 430, or visit www. handsonwestcentralohio.org.

But in the Dairy Land these days, there’s a lot of cheese to be had and tourists are eating it up.

The state’s milk marketing board keeps adding more dairies on its cheese map for tourists who want to tour the state on a sojourn of cheese.

Last year they distributed some 220,000 maps listing more than 115 dairies and creameries.

When the next map goes out next year, it will have some 130 listings.

I didn’t realize how big my appetite was for the cheese and how wonderful and fresh the selection is in Wisconsin until I moved to New York last year.

There’s a lot of great food in New York, but for me, Wisconsin is my favorite place for cheese.

On my first trip back to the state last fall, I snagged 7 pounds of cheese curds, chunks of aged cheddar and unique artisanal blends in just 48 hours.

And that’s not even counting the cheese I ate. In all, my bag weighed 14 pounds when I checked it through at the airport in Milwaukee.

Now, whenever I go back to the land of the Cheeseheads, I let my taste buds do the planning. Here’s the cheesy take on tourism from an insider, where to go, what to eat and how to get it home:

primal way. The fact that he also challenges the men who follow him on emotional and psychological levels makes him not just charismatic but downright frightening.

This is one of several films Pitt has made with director David Fincher and you might put “Se7en” or “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” on your list of his top performances but this is the one that stands out most for me.

• “The Tree of Life” (2011): Between this and “Moneyball,” Pitt is having a pretty great year.

But the performances come in two films that couldn’t be more different.

Terrence Malick’s hypnotic meditation on family, memory and the origin of life itself is full of mesmerizing imagery. But it also allowed Pitt to do some of the best work of his career as a husband and father of three in 1950s Texas.

Pitt makes the character an intimidating figure, a capricious mix of toughness and tenderness. His actions may seem questionable, even abusive at times, but you get the sense that he’s questioning, struggling, trying to figure out how to be the

best man he can be without abandoning his traditional notions of manhood.

• “Inglourious Basterds” (2009): He’s pretty much doing a bad impression of George W. Bush here campy but irresistible and it is always such a joy to watch him let go and goof off. Pitt tops a tremendous ensemble cast in Quentin Tarantino’s daring, revisionist World War II saga as the twangy Tennessean Lt. Aldo Raine.

He’s the leader of a band of Jewish American soldiers who hunt Nazis with the goal of not just killing them but scalping them and sometimes carving swastikas into their foreheads. He offers a rousing mix of awshucks earnestness and slam-bang bravado.

• “Burn After Reading” (2008): Part of the beauty of Pitt is his willingness to toy with his own beautiful image.

In the Coen brothers’ comedy, he steals every scene he’s in and nearly walks away with the whole movie as an overgrown child of a gym trainer whose bungled schemes get him in way over his head.

Just his name alone, Chad Feldheimer, makes him sound like a firstclass doofus, and one look at his blonde-streaked pouf tells you not to take him, or the film, too seriously. But Pitt brings an innocence to the role that makes him irresistible rather than obnoxious; with the shadow of superstardom looming so large, it’s easy to forget he can be funny.

• “Snatch.” (2000): Pitt went even deeper to play a weird, wild comic character here, going so far as to speak in an accent that made him completely unintelligible but that’s what made the performance hilarious.

Guy Ritchie’s comedy is full of his typically colorful characters, assorted British low-lifes and eccentrics. But Pitt steals the show as an Irish gypsy boxer who speaks in such a quick, mangled way, even the Brits can’t understand him.

In a recent Entertainment Weekly interview, he said he came up with the gibberish in a panic at the last minute when he couldn’t quite nail the character’s accent. But as with everything else, he made it look effortless.

At 19, Lovato is now in control of Demi maybe you shouldn’t be doing this” because they’re afraid of losing their job or something like that. I think that’s what goes wrong in a lot of people’s careers, so many people are afraid to say, “This person has a problem” or “This person maybe shouldn’t do this” because they’re afraid of losing their jobs.

AP: Are you still in therapy?

Lovato: Yeah, definitely.

It’s a daily thing. It’s a daily battle. I check in with many, many people every single day. I have a very strong treatment team and it’s actually kind of overwhelming sometimes to have that many people just focused on you and your problems.

AP: Is it easy to talk about your issues in public?

Lovato: Well, from day one, when I left the treatment center and when I was in there, we basically said, me and my team, there’s no reason to lie about anything. Things are going to come out anyways, so if you’re honest about it, you beat the tabloids to the chase, and that way there’s no other stupid rumors that are flying around about you of why you’re in there or whatever. A lot of people thought I was in there for drugs and alcohol, and I was in there for an eating disorder and cutting. So as hard as it was for me to come out and say like, “This is why I’m really in here,” I wanted to set the record straight.

AP: Is it harder dealing with rehab and those issues since you are a celebrity?

Lovato: I don’t think it’s harder. To me, it’s more

AP

In this Sept. 20 photo, actress and singer Demi Lovato is shown in New York during an interview to promote her third album, “Unbroken.” rewarding for me to speak about these issues and know that I’m possibly making a difference in someone’s life. And it holds me more accountable. I feel like I’m held more accountable to stay healthy now because now I’m a role model to young girls to not have eating issues and to not say, “Hey, it’s OK to starve yourself” or “It’s OK to throw up after your meals” that’s not OK. AP: How does it feel to release your third album?

Lovato: It feels so good.

I’m so excited. It’s like giving birth to a child, kind of.

It’s like I’ve created this thing. I feel like it’s my little baby and here I am showing it to the world, so I feel like in a way it’s my birthday.

AP: How has your voice changed over the years?

Lovato: I’ve seen my

voice change a bunch especially over this past year because I’m not doing things that are damaging my vocal chords that much anymore. Occasionally, I won’t get my rest or I’ll drink too much coffee here and there, or too much Red Bull; Red Bull is not good for your voice and I drink it all the time things like that. In the past it was more serious issues that were affecting my voice and now I’m not dealing with those anymore.

AP: Your live performance of “Who’s That Boy” was a little racy. What’s it like as you transition out of your Disney character persona?

Lovato: For me it was the transition from rockpop to more R&B and I think I got that pretty nailed on the dot, and I’m really proud of that song.

It’s my next single and it is a little bit more racy. I say “damn” in it (laughs). I’m getting older and the performance onstage was definitely, it was a bit sexier, but it wasn’t too much. I don’t want to scare off my fans. At the same time my fans are growing up with me, and I don’t want to go way over the top.

MAKING DO

ACROSS

AP PHOTO/MARY ALTAFFER

In this Sept. 6 photo, children’s book author Maurice Sendak is photographed doing an interview at his home in Ridgefield, Conn. Sendak is the author of the popular children’s book “Where the Wild Things Are.”

Still at work Author Sendak, 83, back in the business RIDGEFIELD, Conn.

(AP) — Maurice Sendak’s eyes harden and his off-center smile curls as he considers the idea of writing a memoir.

“I didn’t sleep with famous people or movie stars or anything like that.

It’s a common story: Brooklyn boy grows up and succeeds in his profession, period,” he explains in his friendly growl. “I hate memoirs. I hate them. What you have is your private life.

Why make it public? And how different is it from anybody else’s life? People want to read things like, ‘Did you have an affair with Oprah Winfrey, really and truly?’”

The world cares about the 83-year-old Sendak, whether he likes it or not.

He’s a dark soul who has been canonized, a hero who never asked for the job.

With a sigh, and a wink, he confides that bookstores still contact him for appearances and children still call out and ask if he’s the guy who wrote “Where the Wild Things Are.” He even has an “in” at the White House; President Barack Obama read “Where the Wild Things Are” for the 2009 Easter Egg Roll.

Some contents in the unwritten book of Sendak: He loves Herman Melville, Mozart and Scottish author George MacDonald. He detests e-books (“ghastly”), Twitter (“Twatter”) and Winfrey (although he wouldn’t necessarily say no to an interview). He doesn’t bother much with living writers besides Philip Roth, whose naughty “Portnoy’s Complaint” he positively adores. “It was so dirty!”

Sendak exclaims with the joy of a teenager who snagged a copy of Penthouse.

Wearing jeans and a thin, buttoned shirt, he sits at the breakfast table of his 18th-century farmhouse in the Connecticut countryside, where artists and their fortunes have often settled. He looks out on a wondrous garden of elm and maple trees, and grass a damp green.

Outside, it’s a Maurice Sendak kind of day, gray and rainy, but with a stimulating breeze. Indoors is an exhibition of old age (walking sticks, pills for every day of the week) and playtime. On tables, walls, chairs and sofas are carvings and cushions of the real and the created, from Disney characters to the beasts from his books to a statuette of Obama, who has landed on the plus side of Sendak’s checklist. A mellow German shepherd,

Herman (named for Melville, not Goering, Sendak points out), rests at the author’s feet.

Like an actor who keeps prematurely announcing his retirement, Sendak is back in the business that he swears he no longer cares about. “Bumble-Ardy” is the first book in 30 years he has written and illustrated, although the story dates to the 1970s, when he and Jim Henson collaborated on an animated project for “Sesame Street.” The title character is an orphaned pig whose parents have gone to the slaughterhouse and whose aunt won’t let him have a birthday party so he throws one for himself.

“He’s my usual kid. He’s not very nice, he’s disobedient, he’s unkosher,” Sendak says of Bumble-Ardy. “He’s just a kid, and in my books I like children to be as ferocious and inventive and troublesome as they are in real life. We’re painting pretty pictures about the world and there are no pretty pictures to paint. I like interesting people and kids are really interesting people, and if you don’t paint them in little blue, pink and yellow it’s even more interesting.”

“You can see a lot of the usual Sendak romp in ‘Bumble-Ardy,’ the mayhem and the threat of family dissolution and the recovery at just the last minute,” says Gregory Maguire, whose fourth and final “Wicked” book, “Out of Oz,” comes out in November.

“But the recovery is never total. I love how you can see Bumble-Ardy’s shifting off the page. He makes a promise to be good, but he’s already thinking about the party next year.”

Sendak’s books are less about the kids he’s known, he says with relief, than the kid he used to be. The son of Polish immigrants, he was born in 1928 in a Jewish neighborhood in Brooklyn.

The family didn’t have a lot of money and he didn’t have a lot of friends besides his brother and sister. He was an outsider at birth, as Christians nearby would remind him, throwing dirt and rocks as he left Hebrew school. The kidnapping and murder of Charles Lindbergh’s baby son terrified him for years.

He does not remember having special talent. His brother, Jack, was the chosen one. But he loved to dream and to create, like the time he and his brother built a model of the 1939 World’s Fair out of clay and wax.

BOOK REVIEW

Brandman’s prose doesn’t measure up

BY BRUCE DESILVA AP Book Reviewer “Robert B. Parker’s Killing the Blues: a Jesse Stone Novel” (G.P. Putnam’s Sons), by Michael Brandman: The late Robert B. Parker once said that readers liked his books “for the same reason that they like certain songs.”

They may say that they like the characters and the plots, he said, but “I think what appeals to readers and I don’t think they know it is the way the language works. It’s an aesthetic experience for them.”

Parker died at his writing desk in January 2010, but his most popular characters Spenser, a Boston private eye, and Jesse Stone, the police chief of mythical Paradise, Mass. live on.

Ace Atkins, one of the best crime novelists around, has signed on to continue the Spenser series. Michael

AP PHOTO/G.P. PUTNAM’S SONS

In this book cover image released by G.P. Putnam’s Sons, “Killing the Blues,”

by Robert B. Parker, is shown.

Brandman, the Hollywood producer and screenwriter who worked on the madefor-TV Jesse Stone movies starring Tom Selleck, has taken on the task of continuing the Stone novels.

Brandman’s “Robert B. Parker’s Killing the Blues” shows just how difficult it is

to follow in the master’s footsteps. Brandman fashioned a solid plot about a murderous car-theft ring that sets up shop in Paradise. And he spiced his yarn with two compelling subplots: In one, Jesse cracks down on bullying at the local high school. In the other, he is stalked by a psychopath from his past.

But the prose, which was always the greatest appeal of Parker’s work, doesn’t measure up.

Brandman tries to mimic the ironic patter between Stone and other familiar characters including Stone’s subordinate, Suitcase Simpson, and the state police homicide commander, Captain Healey.

Sometimes it works, but too often the dialogue falls flat.

He also tries to imitate Parker’s breezy style, characterized by crisp, short sentences that jitterbugged across the page in a cadence you could dance to.

Sometimes he pulls it off,

but often Brandman’s short sentences plod along with the monotony of a metronome.

Occasionally the author loses the style altogether, producing sentences that might have made Parker shudder. When Brandman explains why Stone is moving to an isolated cottage on the water, for example, he writes: “But as the years went by and his position in Paradise became more secure, he began to yearn for something more suited to his personality and his desire for privacy.” Parker would have just told us that Stone wanted to be left alone.

It’s hard to blame Brandman for this. Copying a master is never easy.

Still, fans of the Jesse Stone novels may be willing to overlook Brandman’s lapses for the chance to follow the continuing adventures of the tough but vulnerable Paradise police chief.

MORTGAGE WATCH

Rate on 30-year mortgage stays at record 4.09 pct.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Fixed mortgage rates hovered at record lows for a third straight week.

They are likely to fall even further now that the Federal Reserve said it would shuffle its holdings to drive down long-term interest rates.

The average rate on the 30-year fixed mortgage was unchanged at 4.09 percent this week, Freddie Mac said Thursday. That’s the lowest rate seen since 1951.

The average rate on the 15-year mortgage ticked down to 3.29 percent. Economists say that’s the lowest rate ever for the loan.

Mortgage rates tend to track the yield on the 10-year Treasury note. One day after the Fed’s announcement, the yield on the 10-year note touched 1.74 percent Thursday. That’s the lowest level since Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis started keeping daily records in 1962.

In July, the yield on the 10-year note was above 3 percent.

Low mortgage rates have done little to boost home sales. This year is shaping up to be the worst for sales of previously occupied homes since 1997. Few are buying, even though the average rate on the 30-year fixed mortgage has been below 5 percent for all but two weeks this year.

Many Americans are in no position to buy or refinance. High unemployment, scant wage gains and large debt loads have kept them away.

Halloween decorations you can easily scare up

BY MARY CAROL GARRITY Scripps Howard News Service Scaring up a sophisticated Halloween look at home is easy when you use your imagination and have the right tools.

Many of the ideas here I’ve presented before — and certainly bear repeating.

If you use kitschy Halloween props like skeletons and “dismembered” body parts in your decor, don’t overdo it. For instance, one Halloween I wanted to give guests a jolt when they stepped onto my porch, so I reclined a skeleton on the chaise and put a copy of one of my books in its hands.

Another year, I placed scrim-covered skeletons in the host and hostess chairs in my dining room, positioning them like they were ready for a ghoulish dinner.

But perhaps my favorite display to date was last year’s, when we spraypainted some mannequin legs and arms black and stuck them in the floral displays on my dining table and on my porch. Black iron urns made the perfect vases for this bloodcurdling bouquet.

For less outlandish displays that are still lots of fun, put a black skull encrusted with glitter in the punch bowl or on a cake plate. Or let a skeleton hand hold the salt and pepper shakers.

Scrim, an inexpensive gauzelike fabric, is a blast to use at Halloween. For my fall open house last year, we cut scrim into long, thin strips, then draped them over the dead branches we had secured to the trim around my dining-room window.

We also hung scrim from the diningroom chandelier and from the centerpiece. It took just minutes to do, yet it made the room look otherworldly.

Another great way to use scrim is to wrap it around the head of a garden statue to make it look like it’s draped in grave cloths. Or, cut it into strips and wrap around a Halloween skeleton and you have a mummy risen from the grave.

Like scrim, Spanish moss is another easy and inexpensive tool that gives just about any fall display an instant Halloween feel. For a display on my front door, we draped a few handfuls of Spanish moss over some bare twigs, and suddenly it felt like they were stolen from a haunted forest. You can also add

SCRIPPS HOWARD NEWS SERVICE PHOTO COURTESY OF NELL HILL’S

For Halloween, fill glass apothecary jars, compotes and bowls with treats. pinches of moss here and there in regular fall displays for slightly sinister touches. Simply top a candlestick with a tuft of moss and the tableau will transform.

Take glass apothecary jars, compotes and bowls, and fill with treats like candy corn.

Another fun touch is to include vintage-looking jars affixed with Halloween labels on your drinks table. Or cluster a few of them together, place them on a silver or wooden tray, to create a simple centerpiece for your kitchen island or table.

What’s Halloween without some super-creepy critters, like rats, bats and spiders? At Nell Hill’s, we have critters that are playfully fun, like fuzzy black rats and fluffy black owls, a

perfect pick for young families who want a whimsical touch of Halloween without the gore.

Fake spiders are another must-have this time of year. Put them on your dining table, let them cascade from plants, hang them from your light fixture. Or, hide a few in existing displays and see if the kids or guests can spot them all.

Dress your dining table, hutch, bookcase or side tables with your nicest silver, and then give it a macabre twist.

Silver serving pieces, like five-armed candelabras, are just the things when you want to present a gothic Halloween look. Top candlesticks with drippy black candles. Place a silver serving tray on your buffet and top it with a skull or hand. And if you want to get really icky, place a butcher knife next to it.

HOUSE HUNTING

Three ways to break into a high-demand market Don’t overlook fixer-uppers, withdrawn home listings You’d think with so many homes for sale, there would be no problem finding one to buy.

However, plenty of buyers who would like to buy now to take advantage of low interest rates and prices can’t find the right home.

One problem is that the most desirable areas don’t have an oversupply of good homes for sale. Sellers who don’t have a good reason to sell now aren’t, so the supply of good listings is low.

Many listings that are available in these coveted areas either need a lot of work or are overpriced for the market.

Fixer-uppers aren’t popular because they add to the uncertainty of the transaction. Most

Dian Hymer For the Miami Valley Sunday News

buyers are already concerned about the market, their jobs and the state of the economy.

They shy away from homes that need a lot of work because it raises more questions and uncertainty. How much will it cost? Could it cost more than expected? How long will it take to complete the job?

HOUSE HUNTING TIP: Buyers who have the vision to imagine a home in its fixed-up condition can keep costs down if they live in the home while the work is being done. Expect

it to be a stressful experience and plan on the work taking longer than anticipated.

Uncontrollable factors, like rain, can hold a project up due to no fault of the contractor.

Most contractors like to work on a time and materials basis, which leaves the ultimate cost unknown. A fixed-price contract may cost more, but if unanticipated work needs to be done, it won’t cost you more. It’s like paying for insurance.

A listing that has been on the market for some time is likely to be overpriced. Try making a low offer. You might be able to negotiate a mutually acceptable price. Before making an offer, ask your agent to find out if the sellers are planning on reducing the price. If so, make your offer quickly. When listings are lowered to the market price, more than one offer can appear.

Have your agent search the multiple listing service to see if there are any listings that might suit your needs that did-

n’t sell and were withdrawn from the market. If the owners still want to sell and are willing to be flexible on price (the listing probably didn’t sell because it was overpriced), make an offer and see if you can reach an agreement. First, ask to see disclosures and reports to find out if there’s any reason, other than price, why you wouldn’t want to buy the property.

Another approach is to broaden your search. If you’ve been focusing on only one area, you might consider several other neighborhoods that could work for you. This opens you up to more new inventory.

One couple was set on buying in Piedmont, Calif., for the location and schools. There was so much demand in their price range and so few listings that they were priced out of that niche market. They bought a home in neighboring Contra Costa County where they got much more for their money and good schools,

although they had to sacrifice on location.

Easing up on your homebuying requirements helps you to buy sooner rather than later. For instance, if you’d like a view but can drop that requirement, you’ll have a much easier time finding a home to buy. All homebuyers need to make compromises.

But don’t buy a home that won’t serve your ongoing housing needs. In this market, it makes sense only to buy for the long term.

THE CLOSING: It’s better to rent until the right place comes along than it is to buy a home that you’ll need to sell again soon.

What is so special about oak wood?

Plenty. First, oak is a hardwood.

It is very durable, and because of its hardness and durability, it is — and has always been — a very popular wood for home furnishings.

Oak is thick, and has a deep grain, and when it is stained the grain stands out beautifully. Oak wood is less expensive than other hardwoods such as cherry or teak, and that’s another reason for its popularity.

The strength and durability of oak has been employed for centuries.

The keel and framework of large sailing ships were made of oak.

Horse-drawn carriages were made of oak. Wagon wheels were made of oak. Oak was good then, and is still good now.

What are some of the current applications of oak wood?

Let’s start with the floor. Oak is a great choice for a floor covering. This wood does not chip easily, and has a very long life. The longevity of oak also lends itself to timelessness — it

never goes out of style. Its grain pattern gives the home a welcome and homey feeling. And when the years of wear begin to show, simply sand it and refinish, and it’s as good as new.

Oak paneling on the wall creates a cozy den. Whether the oak goes a third of the way up the wall or covers the entire wall, it creates a nesting feeling and a sense of warmth and comfort.

What about oak furniture?

There’s nothing like solid oak furniture — whether it’s simply a cocktail table or an entire bedroom set.

Don’t forget about the dining table and chairs. Unfinished-furniture stores sell oak furnishings that you can stain to a custom finish all your own. This is the type of thing heirlooms are made of.

What about that front door?

That is a fabulous application for oak wood. A solid oak front door emits strength and warmth. It makes a wonderful first impression.

Oak accessories — such as wood trim on the walls, baseboards and crown moldings — are well-accepted flourishes.

Oak — small word, big uses.

Key to good entertaining is great design sconces on both sides.

On the wall of windows, I positioned a console table bookended by two ottomans. I decided to keep the existing shutters for privacy and light control, but softened the look with drapery panels in a paisley pattern. On the rest of the walls, I put up a beautiful printed grass-cloth wallpaper with a bit of a retro vibe that gives the room a ”Mad Men” elegance.

Finally it was time to bring in the furniture. Often people make the mistake of pushing furniture up against the walls, which only serves to make the space feel scattered and unfocused. By floating the arrangement within the space, your eye is drawn through the furniture to the walls and windows, and, in this case, the gorgeous fireplace.

The actual arrangement of furniture is important in this type of space. A conversation grouping of floating furniture should be about 12 feet from the back of one sofa or chair to the back of the opposite sofa or chair. And you need some circulation space (30 inches or so)

BY CANDICE OLSON Scripps Howard News Service To throw a fabulous party, it helps to have delicious snacks, snappy cocktails and great music.

But the real key to good entertaining is great design.

I was reminded of this during a project for my clients, Sandy and Greg, newlyweds who recently traded in their tiny condo for a large 1960s suburban home. The house had a formal living room that they thought would make a great party space. But the big, dated room was cold and uninspiring — anything but festive.

To make matters worse, there wasn’t much available wall space, making furniture placement a real challenge. One wall was covered with dark-wood paneling and an old fireplace, another was full of windows and a third had two entryways. Sandy and Greg had no idea how to arrange their sofa and chairs — and make the space feel warm and inviting.

In situations like this, I always rely on the principle of “floating

I made it more functional with a gas-log insert and then went shopping for a beautiful cast-stone mantle. This I flanked with custom cabinetry painted in a light creamy tone and added mirrors, glass shelving and wall

furniture design.” And so I decided to give the room a shaken-notstirred sophistication.

When you “float” furniture, you pull it away from the walls.

This works well in big, social spaces, as it generates a feeling of airiness while creating more-intimate seating areas. To kick things off, I needed to create a

around that area so the furniture can ”float.”

I brought in a gorgeous lowarmed sofa in a tarragon color and placed it in the middle of the room, with its back to the windows. Across from the sofa I put two lounge chairs in a rich coffee hue. In the middle of the two I put in a lovely glass-and-bronze coffee table. A beautiful area rug anchors the whole area.

To punctuate the furniture grouping, I dropped a simple, frosted glass pendant in the middle. I added a few more accessories — side tables, bar cart, lovely artwork — and finally the space was complete.

By using floating-furniture design in Sandy and Greg’s space, I was able to create an open, elegant room where they can entertain friends in a sexy and sophisticated space that’s perfect for socializing.

Martini, anyone?

Scripps Howard News Service Decorating with chalkboards is all the rage. You can find them featured in everything from interior-design magazines to top design blogs. Many retailers have decorator-style chalkboards for sale at pretty steep prices.

You can make your own chalkboard for a fraction of the retail price. Paints such as Plaid brand FolkArt Chalkboard paints come in a variety of colors, can be found at craft stores and are easy on the wallet. Doing it yourself is easy and fun and the results can be outstanding.

The paints work on a variety of surfaces, so the sky is the limit when it comes to design ideas. You can make a chalkboard with an ornate frame, paint over an old globe to make a chalkboard globe, paint directly onto the wall to create a chalkboard surface or make a kitchen chalkboard from an old tile.

To make the kitchen design, you will need to gather a few materials.

First is chalkboard paint. Next you will need a surface, such as a ceramic 16- by 16-inch floor tile. You also will need a foam paintbrush, a piece of chalk and a hanger.

The design can be embellished using painted wood letters. I chose the word “EAT.” The materials needed are wood letters, acrylic craft paint, paintbrush, sandpaper, small nails, thumbtacks and heavyduty glue.

To get started, paint the tile with one coat of slate-gray Chalkboard paint. Be sure to paint only in one direction.

Allow to dry for about 1 hour. Working in the opposite direction of the first coat, paint a second coat. Allow to dry. Paint a third coat in the direction of the first coat.

Allow to dry.

Next you will need to season the chalkboard.

To do this, rub a piece of chalk over the entire surface and wipe clean, and your board is ready for chalking.

To make the word “EAT,” paint each letter a different color using acrylic paints. To create an antiqued look, drybrush over the colors with medium-gray paint. Using sandpaper, sand the edges of the letters to create a rustic look. Push thumbtacks and small nails into the letters. Attach the letters to the chalkboard with glue. Glue a hanger to the back of the tile.

It is that simple and the results are so fun.

Small home renovations buy time Scripps Howard News Service Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a reality of our fragile economy: Many homeowners who dream of the perfect kitchen or master bath are putting fullscale renovation on hold in favor of more limited changes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s minds is making the space feel a little better and function a little better until you can reach the ultimate kitchen or bath that you want,â&#x20AC;? says Danny Lipford, host of the nationally syndicated homeimprovement radio show â&#x20AC;&#x153;Homefront with Danny Lipford.â&#x20AC;?

He says he often hears from listeners planning smaller redecorating projects to tide them over until real renovation fits in their budgets.

But which small projects are worth it if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to remodel the space within just a few years?

Choose projects that offer big change at little cost, or that serve as first steps toward eventual full-scale renovation, says Sabrina Soto, designer and host

of HGTVâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new series â&#x20AC;&#x153;The High Low Project.â&#x20AC;?

Lipford suggests making changes to the biggest surfaces in a room, such as countertops or floors. Old laminate countertops can now be painted for less than $50, he says, and the results look surprisingly good. Using a type of paint sold in a kit (Lipford recommends one found at Gianigranite.com), homeowners can paint over the old countertop and then seal it with a coating that mimics the look and solid feel of laminate.

Tanya Memme, host of A&Eâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sell This House,â&#x20AC;? agrees that big surfaces are a good place to start. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Any room will look bad if the floors arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t in decent shape,â&#x20AC;? she says.

Cover a soon-to-be-replaced wood or tile floor with a colorful new rug, or put down peel-andstick vinyl tiles. Good quality vinyl tiles resembling granite can cost several hundred dollars if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re covering a full kitchen floor. But the change is dramatic, so it may be worthwhile even for

just a few years of use.

Old ceramic tile floors and tile walls can get a facelift for just a few dollars if you use grout stain, Lipford says. You can make dingy grout a pristine white again or change it to a new color that contrasts with your old tile.

Memme suggests adding a tile backsplash to a kitchen wall for a burst of new style. Do it yourself to save money. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It might seem difficult to put up tile,â&#x20AC;? she says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but actually itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very easy to do.â&#x20AC;?

Small tiles come on a mesh sheet, so youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not placing each one.

Another way to bring big change to walls: Michael Hydeck, president of the National Association of the Remodeling Industry, suggests painting with different textures. Try a faux finish like granite or marble, or buy the same shade of paint in two different finishes one shiny and one matte and paint alternating stripes in each.

Installing under-cabinet or over-cabinet lighting probably isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wise if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be removing

the cabinets in a year or two, Hydeck notes. But a new ceiling light can be installed now and still be used when kitchens or bathrooms are renovated.

Changing window treatments also can change a roomâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lighting and bring in fresh color. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everybody gets used to whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s up on their windows,â&#x20AC;? Memme says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;because theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been living with it. They donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see the wear and tear.â&#x20AC;? Remove old blinds or shades and replace them with inexpensive curtains.

Soto suggests phasing in new major appliances ahead of a full kitchen renovation. If need be, they can be relocated elsewhere in the room once the remodeling is done. She also suggests buying new countertop appliances, such as microwaves or toaster ovens, now, with the anticipated redesign of the kitchen in mind.

If you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t replace appliances now but are craving change, Lipford says appliance paint is available from Rustoleum and other companies. It can give new life to an old refrigerator or dish-

washer, and is easy to apply yourself.

Small items such as drawer pulls, electrical switch plates and doorknobs can easily be changed.

Swap out old knobs for new door handles, switch from brass to nickel, or bring in jeweled or glass or ceramic pieces for added style.

Faucets also can be changed now and then re-used when you eventually replace the entire sink.

Old glass shower doors can be removed relatively easily and replaced by a stylish fabric shower curtain. Swap out old kitchen chairs with cool, flea-market finds, or recover chair cushions yourself with a few yards of new fabric.

Replace a dated bathroom mirror with an inexpensive framed one, or build your own frame with strips of molding.

These projects can give an outdated kitchen or bath enough new life to keep a homeowner happy until true renovation is possible.

It’s time to start preparing home for winter

BY DEBBIE ARRINGTON Sacramento Bee Each September, homeowners come to a mental crossroads.

A part of us wants to stay outdoors and enjoy the pleasant autumn weather.

But we also want to plunge into preparations for winter weather, the upcoming holidays and guests who may be headed our way.

Time — and the nice weather — start ticking away, and we end up in a flurry of activity, trying to finish those homeimprovement projects on our collective to-do list.

“Bathroom and kitchen projects are really coming around,” said Sue Monday, project manager at a Home Depot store in Sacramento, Calif. “It’s the major trend this fall. People aren’t selling their homes; they’re redoing their homes.”

Bathroom makeovers are especially huge this month, Monday added. In these small spaces, a little effort can have a big impact.

And bathrooms do get noticed by holiday houseguests. Along with kitchens, they’re the mostused rooms in the house.

That’s prompted home-goods makers to introduce new lines of quick kitchen and bathroom fixes. Martha Stewart Living rolled out a new line of bathroom vanities with coordinating

mirrors, countertops and fixtures. Rust-Oleum packages a cabinet-makeover kit with paint, glaze and everything else needed to give tired cabinets a face-lift in a matter of hours.

“Redo and renew; that’s the motto this fall,” Monday said.

Where to begin?

Start by looking ahead.

Jon and Terry Wittmaack, the handyman stars of DIY Network’s new “Brothers on Call,” can’t underestimate the value of preparedness.

“It’s amazing,” said Terry Wittmaack. “A lot of people buy an umbrella when it starts to rain; they don’t have one already. We see that same mentality with homes; they don’t prepare for winter until it’s already here.”

Now taping for the new show, which premieres Oct. 16, the Wittmaacks got some instant drama with Hurricane Irene.

The flooding in their hometown of Ridgewood, N.J., left many houses, and several of their clients, surrounded by 4 or 5 feet of water.

“A lot of people certainly did heed warnings and prepare for the worst,” Jon Wittmaack said.

“But one of our customers in the flood zone — who had been warned — didn’t take anything out of his basement, didn’t move his cars out of the driveway, didn’t do anything. It was like he was basically wishing it away.

Now he has a huge mess on his hands.”

Instead of wishing winter weather away, be pro-active, Jon Wittmaack said.

Now is the time to repair roof leaks and fix cracks in the driveway or sidewalk. Restain decks.

Get the fireplace in working order; clean the chimney and empty out ashes.

Caulk around windows and doors. Replace weather-stripping. Stop the drafts before the wind blows.

“Do it now while the weather is still nice and you can do these things easily,” he said.

“The No. 1 most important thing: Make sure your gutters are clean,” said Jon Wittmaack, who lived in Modesto, Calif., before returning to his native New Jersey to join the family business, Man Around the House. “Clean up the leaves.

Make sure water can run freely through the gutters and leaders, and away from your property.”

Indoors, change the filters on heating systems and refrigerator water dispensers. Clean the air filter on stove hoods, which tend to be grease magnets.

And pay attention to plumbing.

“Your shower may be fine for three minutes a day, but what if you have guests coming?” Jon Wittmaack said. “Your shower may be using four or five times as much water.”

So, check for leaks and recaulk. And if there are any clogs or slow drains, tackle them now.

Said Jon Wittmaack, “You don’t want a backed-up toilet with a house full of people.”

Meanwhile, paint, paint, paint.

“Paint is without a doubt the least-expensive way to update any room,” Monday said. “It’s the easiest with the biggest impact.”

This season, the color trend tends to be warm — or cool.

“We’re seeing a lot of burnt sienna,” Monday said. “But also blues and grays. People are still painting with a lot of red, too, but it’s more brick than blood.”

At Lowe’s, two color trends pop out, said spokeswoman Colleen Maiura. One palette brings the cool colors of late summer inside. Warm yellow, charcoal gray, olive green — these tones make rooms feel light and airy.

The other palette feels fun, fresh and personal. It adds an unexpected twist of color — deep teal, organic green, rusty orange — to neutral furnishings.

No time to paint a whole room? Consider touching up the trim and doors. Those areas get the most wear — and attention from guests. New this month, Glidden introduced a just-fortrim high-gloss enamel that covers in one coat and is made to make a big impression on these

small areas.

People also want to stretch their time outdoors even as daylight wanes, Maiura said. That means more outdoor lighting and fire pits.

“Take a tip from interior decorators by introducing multiple levels of lighting to your outdoor space,” she said. “It’s a sure way to add drama and interest to an outdoor room.”

Some examples from Lowe’s designers: • Scatter candles on the tabletop for entertaining; hang lanterns to throw mysterious shadows on a wall.

• “Uplighting” creates instant drama. Install narrowly focused spotlights close to the ground and point them up to highlight features in the landscape such as trees, shrubs or statuary.

Floodlights, with their wider beams, can uplight larger areas such as porches or entries.

• Lighting plants or objects from behind creates dramatic silhouettes. For example, if you have bushes or shrubs near a wall, place lights between the plants and the wall to highlight their shapes.

Don’t forget your front door and entryway.

“Plant a pot full of chrysanthemums or other colorful flowers and put it next to your front door,” Monday said. “It’s like a bouquet waiting to greet your guests.”

KITCHEN DESIGN TIPS HGTV Maximize the space and efficiency of a small kitchen with these design tips, sure to spark some renovation inspiration.

The power of teamwork.

We’re here to help you reach new heights.

• Make your small kitchen feel larger by following an open floor plan. Allow the space to carefully flow into the living or dining room.

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.
