A female Koester Pavilion nurse’s aide is on unpaid administrative leave according to Gail Peterson, UVMC’s public relations coordinator, pending an investigation by the Miami County Sheriff ’s Office.

The investigation stems from an incident on Sept. 23, of alleged improper contact between a female nursing home resident and a female nurse’s aide.

According to the sheriff ’s report, the alleged incident was witnessed by another nurse’s aide when she checked on a room to give the victim a bed sheet.

The witness claims to have found the the suspect laying on top of the victim.

The report claims that both the victim and the suspect’s hands were at their sides with a bed sheet between them.

According to the statements made in the report, the alleged suspect admitted to have kissed the victim and telling the victim

A convicted killer who escaped a New Jersey prison in 1970 and hijacked a U.S. airliner two years later while dressed as a priest has been captured in Portugal after more than 40 years as a fugitive, authorities said Tuesday.

George Wright was arrested Monday by Portuguese authorities at the request of the U.S. government, the head of the FBI’s New Jersey office said. See Page 7.

Miami County Commissioners were pleased to report to a gathered audience of elected officials from throughout the county Monday that revenues are projected to outpace expenditures by the tune of more than a half-million dollars.

Commissioners collectively painted the picture of how this year is going and how they hope to finish it at the annual State of the County address at The Crystal Room in Troy TROY to an audience of more than 200. Commissioners said a $600,000 surplus is expected.

Revenues are currently anticipated at $22.9 million, while expenditures are estimated to be at $22.3 million, commissioners reported.

While Commission President Jack Evans noted that while the amount might not seem like much, he added that “in today’s world, that is pretty good.”

However, Evans warned, that next year $1.2 million is expected to be cut out of the budget and warned of budget cuts at the state level and in local government funds are among the causes.

Evans said so far this year the amount of grant dollars awarded throughout Miami County has reached $17.25 million to date for various projects such as water, sewer and road projects.

“It’s all been made possible by all of the elected officials and the job they do for you,” Evans said. “Miami County is in good financial shape. … We all appreciate the opportunity to serve you.”

While the noontime address attracted elected officials, department heads and local state dignitaries, many of the faces were new as the county elected official turnover has been significant in the last two years. Of the 17, six are new, including the auditor, treasurer, common pleas court judge, coroner, engineer and county commissioner.

The newest member of county commission is Richard Cultice, who replaced former commissioner Ron Widener. Cultice said the four months he has spent making the transition from city to county government has been a learning experience — one he finds satisfying.

“It’s been enlightening, it’s been educational,” Cultice said. “I have enjoyed it for the time that I have been here. Everybody has been very supportive in the time I have

Tipp BOE discusses student drinking Breathalizer tests suggested

BY JOYELL NEVINS Ohio Community Media editorial@tdnpublishing.com Tippecanoe High School students may soon have to do more than buy a ticket to get into a Tippecanoe dance. The Student Senate is pushing for students to take a Breathalizer test as well. The test would be adminis-

tered at random as people entered the gym.

“Drinking is a bigger and bigger problem,” said senate president Bethany Feitshans in a presentation to the board of education, “(At the dances) you can smell it on people; you can just tell.”

Student Senate assistant secretary Alex Abboud added, “It’s a bigger problem than some people realize.”

The discussion originated with the dance debacle at Homecoming last year, where a large student population left the dance after a much smaller number of students was told to stop “inappropriate” dancing. Since then, a dance policy has been implemented as to what constitutes “inappropriate.” The senate feels that alcohol increases this type of dancing and behavior.

“We see it on the dance floor (results from drinking),” Abboud said. “The (Breathalizer test) really would clean up a lot on the dancing.”

Feitshans shared that she’s heard more students support the idea than not.

Abboud noted that many of the students who have hated the idea are those who would normally be drinking before a dance. The girls were supported in their presentation by assistant principal Brian Honeycutt, superintendent John Kronour, and assistant superintendent Gretta Kumpf.

The opposition came from the board of education themselves. Frank Maus was concerned about false positives.

Kate Johnsen wondered if students wouldn’t “sneak in a flask in their purse.”

She also expressed the need for a set policy concerning how the “random” test is administered.

Scott Dixon felt that the test might push students to imbibe substances that weren’t detectible. Several board members expressed concern that the test would seriously reduce the amount of students who would choose to come to the dance.

Kronour offered to get information to the board the next day on the reliability of the Breathalizer device. He said he would also soon bring the board a plan to back up the test if the student swears it’s a false positive, and a set plan for how the test would be

Creativity administered randomly.

Kronour did point out, “This doesn’t actually require board action. If you’re adamantly opposed, obviously I work for you so that would be taken into serious consideration. But, we’re hearing from students that it’s a problem. It’s almost condoning that [drinking] behavior if we hear about it and don’t do something.”

It was also noted that parents can express their opinion in a survey on the schools’ website.

The end decision of the evening was that the phrase “you could be subject to a Breathalizer” will appear on the dance policy form students and parents have to sign before attending the Homecoming dance. That way, in case the decision is finalized to administer Breathalizer tests, students and parents will already be aware of the possibility.

Kumpf concluded, “I feel like this is our student leaders and they’re trying to lead.”

The board concurred with this statement and thanked the girls for their presentation.

Response to intervention Other presentations in Monday’s meeting included the school principals, who are implementing new programs this year to work on the “RTI factor,” or response to intervention. This is a state-mandated concept for improving student’s skills before they need a Title I or IEP (individualized education program).

At the elementaries, Broadway and Nevin Coppock have joined forces to offer breakout sessions called Broadway Breakout and Coppock Connection. Students will be divided in groups by like abilities and similar weaknesses as determined by the Ohio Department of Education Report Card and monitoring systems like AIMSweb. All the groups will focus on reading, but with different aspects like vocabulary, comprehension, and phonetics. They will meet

for 40 minutes each day, Monday-Thursday. Even the arts, music and physical education teacher will be getting involved.

“We’re stretching our teachers a lot,” said Broadway Principal Galen Gingerich, “But they’re willing to do it.”

The principals hope to bring in community and parent volunteers to work with the students as well.

L.T. Ball is also implementing breakout sessions of 40 minutes, four days a week.

Principal Sarah Patterson stressed that they want to focus on not only intervention, but enrichment as well.

“Every student has the right to grow one year (of education),” she stated.

Board members thought the sessions sounded promising, but were concerned about the time taken out of other subjects.

“We believe that reading is a foundational skill,” Patterson said in reply.

She explained that reading skills will help students better understand and perform in math, science, and other subject areas.

Patterson also noted that administration will be having individual goal meetings with each teacher. An important part of those meetings will be going over results from the TerraNova and other standardized tests students have taken by fourth and fifth grade.

“With many of our teachers, the question is ‘I have all of this data, now what do I do with it?’” Patterson said.

The new program at Tippecanoe Middle this year is S.W.A.T., or Students Working and Achieving Together. It’s similar to a mandatory study hall.

Two teachers, Cheryl Peeples and Jennifer Wysocki, have had their start time staggered so they don’t come to work until after first period. But they stay until 3:15 p.m. after school to help students work on social studies, science, math and reading. Students can come voluntarily, or teachers can assign students to attend.

Cultice said the next year could be difficult with cuts to local governments, but assured everyone everything was being done to lessen the burden, but added “it’s going to be difficult.”

“Our county has done well (because) it’s been ran conser-

vatively,” Cultice said in closing.

Commissioner John “Bud” O’Brien optimistically said that despite state funding cuts, the county is taking a “pro-active” approach to balancing the budget.

“We are prepared for what the state budget is doing to us and we need to work smarter and efficiently,” O’Brien said.

What Is Schizophrenia?

Schizophrenia is a chronic, severe, and disabling brain disorder that has affected people throughout history. About 1 percent of Americans have this illness.

People with the disorder may hear voices other people don’t hear. They may believe other people are reading their minds, controlling their thoughts, or plotting to harm them. This can terrify people with the illness and cause them to be withdrawn.

People with schizophrenia may not make sense when they talk. They may sit for hours without moving or talking.

Families and society are affected by schizophrenia, too. Many people with schizophrenia have difficulty holding a job or caring for themselves.

Treatment helps relieve many symptoms of schizophrenia, but most people who have the disorder cope with symptoms throughout their lives. However, many people with schizophrenia can lead rewarding and meaningful lives. Researchers are developing more effective medications and using new research tools to understand the causes of schizophrenia.

Grand Opening Special

Soon after that doctor visit, her mother contacted Jodi Long, a counselor at the Tri-County Board of Recovery and Mental Health Services, a Troy-based agency that coordinates mental health and substance abuse services to residents of Miami, Darke and Shelby counties.

From that contact, Julia became involved with the services offered by TriCounty. She found medications that are effectively treating her symptoms and, newly inspired and able to focus, began to express herself though art, writing and poetry.

Bogart has created tile mosaics and charcoal drawings, and since the beginning of the year, has written and self-published three books.

Those books, along with some of her drawings and mosaics, will be on display next Wednesday, Oct. 5, at the Tri-County Board of Recovery and Mental Health Services’ 4th annual ‘Art of Recovery’ celebration and show.

The show — at the Edison Community College Theater — includes the work of about 20 people who receive services through TriCounty Board of Recovery and Mental Health Services.

The art show will be preceded by Tri-County’s annual meeting, which includes the awarding of the annual Geraldine B. Nelson Advocacy Award.

The annual meeting and art show is preceded by a day-long training session on recovery, according to Amanda R. Brown, TriCounty’s Director of Community Resource Development.

Brown said ‘Art of Recovery’ is an opportunity to showcase the talents and creativity of Tri-County’s consumers, and a way to show that while someone may have a mental illness or substance abuse issue, they can find recovery and rediscover their creativity.

“A lot of consumers in our system are creative and we wanted to an opportunity to show off their talents and creativity. It’s been so well received. It’s just a cool event for our system,” Brown said.

Bogart said this is the first time she has participated in Tri-County’s art show.

“I just get giddy when I think about it,” she said with a wide smile. The show has inspired her to continue in her recovery and continue to write and create artwork, she said.

Art in Recovery fits perfectly with Tri-County’s mission of providing resources to its consumers so they can find hope and recovery, Brown said.

WHO: Tri-County Board of Recovery and Mental Health Services WHAT: Annual Meeting and 4th annual ‘Art of Recovery’ celebration and show WHEN: 5:30-7 p.m.

Wed., Oct. 5 WHERE: Edison Community College Theater, 1973 Edison Dr., Piqua There is no cost to attend. The evening includes a reception of light hors d’oeuvres and an Art Showcase of paintings, drawings, photography, music and poetry and literary submissions from consumers in the Tri-County mental health and recovery system. The annual meeting includes the awarding of the annual Geraldine B. Nelson Advocacy Award.

dates for law director of Troy.

Now, I’m no lawyer, but campaign regulations state that signs may not be placed more than 30 days prior to an election. By my calendar, that is Oct. 9.

If the candidates for law

director can’t or won’t follow the rules, do we really want them interpreting the law for the City of Troy? Food for thought.

PERSPECTIVE

Pat McBride Newton Local Schools Superintendent

State report cards get a failing grade As the proud Superintendent of Newton Local Schools, I will unequivocally state that our district attained the greatest level of academic achievement in our distinguished history during the 20102011 school year. It’s unfortunate that we do not have an accountability system in Ohio that accurately and truthfully portrays school performance. Even though Newton was rated as an “Excellent” district, we are disappointed that our designation was not “Excellent with Distinction,” as it was the previous year.

The most disappointing aspect of our state’s use of a local report card rating system is that it bows to political correctness by designating poor performing districts as something that they aren’t. How can anyone explain that a large nearby urban district achieved only 1 of 26 indicators and was rated as “Effective?” Also, consider a nearby district that achieved only 17 of the 26 indicators (65%) and was designated as an “Excellent” district, just like Newton. Can another nearby urban district who achieves just 2 of 26 indicators really be an example of “continuous improvement?”

The Ohio Department of Education (ODE) has made numerous changes to the local report card accountability system over the years.

As each change has been made, the system becomes more convoluted and more difficult to understand. This is a common symptom of a bureaucracy. The ODE’s bureaucratic ineptness is evident when terms that even few educators understand, such as Performance Index, Adequate Yearly Progress, and Value Added are used. As a result, administrators like me try to explain ratings to their communities using the same terms that no one understands nor cares about.

During the last school year, the Newton Local School District achieved 26 of 26 indicators, 100 percent graduation rate, and the highest passage rate on 9 of 19 grade level tests among all Miami County Schools. Our composite passage rate for all tests was the highest of all county schools. In addition, we achieved a phenomenal performance index score of 104.2 which reflects the fact that many of our students scored at the accelerated or advanced levels on grade level tests.

In late August, well after the testing period, we were informed that our district missed the Value Added measure as calculated by ODE. This seemed odd because Value Added is a measurement of student academic growth. Value Added did not correlate with our Performance Index Score of 104.2 which definitely indicates that our students are scoring at high levels. One of the subject areas that we missed the Value Added measure was in 5th Grade Reading. Guess what our student passage rate was for 5th Grade Reading ... 100 percent!

The simple truth is that these grade level achievement tests only assess minimum student competency within the subject area. When a student achieves a near perfect score on a test, as some of our students do, it’s hard to find two standard deviations of growth that allows us to meet the Value Added requirement. My message to the Ohio Department of Education, the state legislature, and to the governor ... “Please get out of our way! Your bar is too low.”

Too often politicians and others try to portray all public schools as being tired institutions where teacher apathy is rampant and mediocrity or less is the norm. It is not the norm! I believe that some of the finest public school systems in the state and country are right here in Miami County. By in large, our districts have dedicated competent teachers, students who come to school ready to learn and supportive communities that value education.

In Miami County schools and in schools like Newton, kids are not only taught how to read, write, and compute math problems. Students are still taught right from wrong and the value of common sense.

Most importantly, the majority of parents in Miami County provide their children with the values and support necessary for success in school. There is neither a school accountability system nor government mandate that will compensate for what kids don’t get at home but should.

DOONESBURY

Laughing and dancin’ making life worth livin’ There was a saying I found in the grocery store the other day: “The fondest memories are made when gathered around the kitchen table.”

I decided I want to get it for our kitchen.

It’s more than just a phrase, it’s truth and life for the home that Chels and I share. Saturday night we invited some friends over to “warm our house.”

Sam was there, Nate was there and some of Chelsea’s friends that I already knew were there.

However, there were a whole lot of new people. We started the night out by playing Sequence and ended up playing card games until the early morning hours.

The house was filled with warmth and laughter. With new friends and old, it was as though we had all known each other for a long time. We shared stories, laughed together and…..at each other.

From the outside in, it looked as though it could have been a scene from a movie. We had every chair we had available in the kitchen and bodies were just squeezed together enjoying the night.

It was a refreshing reminder that as different as people are, there will always be similarities, connections and a common interest point to spark a good conversation. I don’t think there was a

Katie Yantis Troy Daily News Columnist down moment in the night, and the night ended with most involved having someone new to call “friend.”

It is good to know that as you go through life with people you care about, respect and love that you will also share life with people they care about and love and thus they too will become part of your life.

Earlier in the day Saturday before all the friends came over, Chels, Sam and me were joined by some of our friends and watched the Mum Festival parade together.

We entertained ourselves by doing the “shout” as a float went by blaring it from their stereo and waving at all the Cub Scouts, Girls Scouts and queens.

One of the highlights of the entire parade was when one of the clowns walked up to Chelsea and asked her if she liked brownies.

Her eyes lit up at 10:30 a.m. like a 5-year-old and said, “Of course I

— Deb Matthews Troy

like brownies.”

The clown dug deep into his oversized clown pockets and pulled out a foam letter and gently laid the letter on her lap. It was an “e” and it was brown.

The four of us girls were slightly confused until Sam took the liberty of spelling it out for us (pun intended), “A brown E. Get it?’” he asked us. We all broke out into laughter as we realized how silly we were for not catching it right away and continued with our parade watching.

After collecting a pile of “goodies” from those in the parade we gathered our chairs, threw away our coffee cups and got ready for our next bit of Saturday fun.

Following the parade, the girls went to the mall.

Now, I have to tell you that I haven’t been shopping with a group of girls for an afternoon for awhile. I will just say that I thought my sides were going to explode we laughed so much. From the ride down there to scrunchies and “Get your hand off of there,” as we rode up the escalator, we learned a lot about each other.

Overall the weekend was a refreshing one and reminded me to slow down and to enjoy life rather than letting it stress me out. So many times we focus on the little things and forget to stop and play cards with our friends and be silly as we watch a parade.

The weekend was filled with activity, but was fun and relaxing at the same time. It was exactly what I needed as I most recently have let life get to me, instead of getting at it.

I took part in the Mum Festival for the first time and I added a few super cool people to the group of people I call my friends.

As my cohort and fellow journalist magician Twin said last week, this place is fun and entertaining. You just have to know who to hang out with and how to make your own fun sometimes, whether it’s going to the mall with the girls for the afternoon or dancing with a friend in your own kitchen on a blared iPod at 2 in the morning.

Sometimes it’s walking trails at a local park or going to a concert.

This weekend, I didn’t really have to leave Tipp (other than the trip to the mall) and I had a blast all weekend.

I may not be fancy and I may not travel around the world, but I have good friends, we have good times and it’s all because we know how to have fun, whether it’s in the house, at a festival or taking a trip to the local mall.

You get out of life what you put in to it, and I am putting my all into it and am reaping the rewards.

Treasurer • CONTINUED FROM A1 Fahncke said she was excited about the opportunity to work for the Miami East community.

“I’m so happy I can come to Miami East to help them in their time of need,” Fahncke said. “I’ve always been dedicated to public service and if I can benefit my fellow community members then I’ve done well and had a good day.”

After Fahncke’s approval, the board discussed the pending cuts for the district if its ballot issue is unsuccessful on Nov. 8.

Miami East Local School’s Superintendent Dr. Todd Rappold said the levy committee’s website and Facebook page is up and running to answer a variety of questions about the district’s levy.

The district is seeking a conversion of its current continuous 1 percent traditional income tax to a continuous collection of a 1.75 percent earned income tax levy on the Nov. 8 ballot.

The website is www.votevikingpridenow.org.

According to the website, the 1.75 percent

Miami East put on fiscal caution status CASSTOWN — Miami East Local School recently was placed in Fiscal Caution by Ohio Department of Education.

There are three levels of fiscal emergency for public school districts including, first, fiscal caution, then fiscal watch and finally, fiscal emergency. The following is provided by the Ohio Department of Education: Fiscal Caution • Currently 21 districts in fiscal caution.

• May be declared if ODE determines through the five-year forecast that conditions exist that could result in a future declaration of fiscal watch or emergency.

• Districts are given the opportunity to develop and implement proposals to avoid potential deficits without being placed in fiscal caution.

• Districts are given a short period of time to either address the sitincome tax, based on adjusted gross income, would cost an additional $300 per year or $25.00 per month based on a $40,000 income.

According to Ohio’s Secretary of State’s website, October 10 is the deadline to register to vote

Afghanistan this year.

Though civilian deaths attributed to NATO forces have decreased, a rise in roadside bombs and insurgent attacks means that more civilians are being killed. Meanwhile, more details emerged about this week’s killing of an American CIA employee in Kabul. A U.S. Embassy spokesman said that the dead worker was a facility maintenance employee.

“He provided essential support for the maintenance of the U.S. annex in Kabul,” Gavin Sundwall said. “He was described to me as a valued member of the team and he will be sorely missed.” U.S. officials have not named the complex as a CIA office, but former intelligence officials have confirmed that it was used by the CIA.

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — A station wagon packed with Afghan civilians struck a roadside bomb in western Afghanistan, triggering an explosion that killed 16 people, 11 of them children, Afghan officials said.

The vehicle was traveling in Herat province’s Shindand district when it hit the bomb, said Mohammad Salim, the police garrison chief for the district. Another four people in the car were wounded, he said.

Those in the car were part of the same extended family, Salim said. He did not provide further details.

Provincial spokesman Muhiuddin Noori confirmed the casualty figures.

Nov. 8, it will be devastating to parents, students and the community as a whole,” he said.

Rappold also said if the levy is not passed Nov. 8, the district would adopt a pay-to-participate fee on top of the $110 transportation fee.

“If the board chose to keep all sports and extracurricular (activities), it will cost $500-$600 per activity next year to selffund (the costs to run the program),” Rappold said.

Rappold said the pay-toparticipate may begin as early as spring sports for students.

“It’s a challenge,” Rappold said. “You have to take in to account that you’re definitely going to lose students at the junior high and high school level that can’t simply afford to participate.”

Board member Gayle Carson said he’d prefer to implement a pay-to-participate fee and not cut any activity.

“My personal preference would be that we have a pay-to-participate fee,” Carson said. “We’d be selling the kids short if we didn’t give them the option to participate.”

Carson said athletics and extra curricular activities offer more experiences outside of the classroom.

According to Rappold, more than 60 percent of high school students participate in at least one extra curricular activity.

“We encourage out students to participate in something,” said board member Kevin Accurso.

“Pay-to-participate is a tough pill to swallow … we don’t have a choice really.”

Rappold also reminded the board that the district has not bought a bus or bought a new computer in two years.

“Those costs are going to start to add up as well,” Rappold said.

Weather may delay Washington Monument rappelling project WASHINGTON (AP) — Engineers scheduled to begin rappelling down the Washington Monument Tuesday experienced unexpected delays when they had to construct a barrier around the monument’s lightning rod system, and the possibility of thunderstorms threatened to push their daredevil visual inspection back further.

The monument was damaged last month by a 5.8-magnitude earthquake that shook the nation’s capital, and the site has been closed to visitors ever since.

Engineers from a private firm retained by the National Park Service have spent the past month inspecting the interior of the 555foot obelisk, where pieces of stone and other debris rained down during the quake.

Now, a “difficult access team” from engineering firm Wiss, Janney, Elstner Associates is looking for additional cracks and chips on the exterior of the structure, and rappelling will afford them the best upclose look.

On Tuesday morning, team member Dave Megerle emerged from a hatch near the top of the structure and spent about three hours setting up ropes and other equipment. After a break, he came back out for more preparations.

Officials said it was the first time the hatch on the monument has been opened in 11 years.

Part of Megerle’s time atop the monument was spent constructing a barrier around its lightning rod system, said National Park Service spokeswoman Carol Johnson. The system of gold-plated copper tubes begins at the top of the monument and stretches down the edges of the pyramidion, the uppermost portion of the structure.

The rappelling team was dealing with other logistical issues in the afternoon and was closely monitoring forecasts that indicated a chance of thunderstorms that could force them to wait until Wednesday.

Team member Erik Sohn told The Associated Press Monday that the job was a dream assignment

among the relatively small field of architectural engineers certified to hoist themselves up and down the sides of buildings.

“This is definitely a job that everyone would like to get. We have a relatively small group that’s certified to our level,” said the 33-yearold from Chantilly, Va. “It’s such an iconic structure.

Everyone wants to be on a monument like this.”

The team is being advised by Brandon Latham, a ranger at Denali National Park in Alaska with extensive rappelling experience. He said Monday that working on the monument would be similar to rappelling down the face of a cliff.

While the monument remains structurally sound, the earthquake caused numerous cracks and chips to form in the marble exterior and the granite interior support structure.

The longest crack is 4 feet long and about an inch wide, and park service officials said daylight can be seen through some of the cracks.

Longtime fugitive U.S. hijacker caught in Portugal NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — A convicted killer who escaped a New Jersey prison in 1970 and hijacked a U.S. airliner two years later while dressed as a priest has been captured in Portugal after more than 40 years as a fugitive, authorities said Tuesday.

George Wright was arrested Monday

by Portuguese authorities at the request of the U.S. government, the head of the FBI’s New Jersey office said.

Wright was convicted of the 1962 murder of a gas station owner in Wall, N.J. Authorities say Wright and three associates had already committed multiple armed robberies on Nov. 23, 1962, when Wright and another man shot and killed Walter Patterson, a decorated World War II veteran and father of two, during a robbery of the Collingswood Esso gas station in Wall.

He received a 15- to 30-year sentence and had served eight years when he and three other men escaped from the Bayside State Prison in Leesburg, N.J. on Aug. 19, 1970.

The FBI says Wright became affiliated with an underground militant group, the Black Liberation Army, and in 1972 he and his associates hijacked a Delta Air Lines flight from Detroit to Miami — and on to Algeria.

The group lived as a “communal family” together in Detroit before the hijack-

ing, according to Associated Press reports at the time. News reports at the time said Wright, then 29, dressed as a priest and used the alias the Rev. L. Burgess to board Delta Air Lines Flight 841 on July 31, 1972, accompanied by three men, two women and three small children.

When the plane landed at the Miami airport, the hijackers demanded a $1 million ransom — the highest of its kind at the time — to free the 86 people on board. After an FBI agent delivered the money, the passengers were released, according to AP accounts.

The hijackers then forced the plane to Boston, where an international navigator was taken aboard, and the group flew on to Algeria, where the hijackers sought asylum.

The group was taken in by Eldridge Cleaver, the American writer and activist, who had been permitted by Algeria’s Socialist government to open an office of the Black Panther Movement in that country in 1970, after the Algerian president at the time professed sympathy for what he viewed as worldwide liberation struggles.

Algerian officials returned the plane and the money to the U.S. at the request of the American government, and briefly detained the hijackers before letting them stay.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

There’s no excuse for being unkempt Dear Annie: I know you won't print this, because your column is all about badmouthing men.

Hollywood does the same thing.

Why is it terrible when a man belittles his wife, but funny when she belittles him? Explain why Brad Pitt and Ben Affleck are "sexy" when they don't shave, but women complain about us for the same thing. Some of us have nose and ear hair, and women call us slobs. Maybe we don't change our clothes every day. So what?

This is for all the wives and girlfriends: When was the last time you shaved your legs, underarms or even your face? Do you really think a moustache or twoinch hair sticking out of your chin is an aphrodisiac? It's not. When was the last time you used makeup or put on some perfume? Do you really think wearing sweatpants on your 300-pound body makes you look like an athlete?

I try to appreciate the finer, nonphysical things about women.

A beautiful heart and personality are much more attractive than a pretty face. But an ungrateful attitude is many times worse than some extra hair. Why don't you try to appreciate us for providing a decent home and working hard all our lives to support our families?

When you change your attitude, a little extra hair won't seem important. — Sloppy Old Man Dear Sloppy: You'll forgive us if we chuckle at your raging diatribe in support of being a slob. Of course a loving heart is the most important attribute of any relationship. But there is no excuse for either men or women to become unshaven, unkempt pigs because they have grown complacent. We guarantee women would find Brad Pitt a good deal less attractive if he had hair sticking out of his ears and nose and hadn't changed his underwear in a week. But you are right that many women also neglect their appearance. Each partner in a relationship should make every effort to look presentable, and sometimes that involves a magnifying mirror.

Dear Annie: I would greatly appreciate it if you would please reprint one of your most requested pieces. It is entitled "After a While" by Veronica A. Shoffstall. I found it in my drawer and can no longer read it. — El Paso, Texas Dear El Paso: With pleasure.

Here it is: After a While by Veronica A. Shoffstall After a while you learn the subtle difference between holding a hand and chaining a soul, and you learn that love doesn't mean leaning and company doesn't always mean security.

And you begin to learn that kisses aren't contracts and presents aren't promises, and you begin to accept your defeats with your head up and your eyes ahead, with the grace of a woman, not the grief of a child.

And you learn to build all your roads on today, because tomorrow's ground is too uncertain for plans and futures have a way of falling down in mid-flight.

After a while you learn that even sunshine burns if you get too much, so you plant your own garden and decorate your own soul, instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers.

And you learn that you really can endure, you really are strong, you really do have worth, and you learn, and you learn, with every goodbye, you learn...

(Copyright 1971) Dear Annie: I was so comforted by the letter from "Coping in Calif.," whose son and his wife have cut her out of their lives. It's true that there's not one thing we can do about it. But I loved that she said along with forgiving them, we must also protect ourselves from their cruel behavior.

So much is said about cruelty to children. But so little is said about adult children being cruel to their parents. — Iowa Annie's Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

SUDOKU PUZZLE

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

MONDAY’S SOLUTION:

HINTS FROM HELOISE

Please reprint recipe for tasty salt substitute Dear Heloise: A few years back, you had a recipe for a salt substitute made up of spices. It was really good, but I have lost the recipe. Could you please reprint it? — Judy Penick, Orland, Ind. I’m happy to reprint this recipe, especially for those who need to be careful of how much salt they eat. You will need: 5 teaspoons onion powder 1 tablespoon garlic powder 1 tablespoon paprika 1 tablespoon dry mustard 1 teaspoon thyme 1/2 teaspoon white pepper 1/2 teaspoon celery seed Mix all of the above ingredients. Label an airtight container,

Hints from Heloise Columnist and store this spice blend in a cool, dry place away from the stove and light. This will preserve the flavors of all the spices.

I have many other seasoning recipes (along with sauces and substitutes) available in my Heloise’s Seasonings, Sauces and Substitutes pamphlet. To receive a copy, send $5 and a long, self-

addressed, stamped (64 cents) envelope to: Heloise/SSS, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001. No buttermilk, but you need it for a baked-goods recipe? Try yogurt instead. — Heloise MONEY- AND FOODSAVER Dear Heloise: Growing up, we were taught not to waste.

When buying anything that needs to be freshened, such as parsley, asparagus, collards, spinach bunches, watercress, etc., slice off a bit of the stem, stand it up in water and cover loosely with the plastic bag it came in.

A bunch of parsley can be chopped and spread flat in a

plastic freezer bag to use as needed.

Put the stems into a freezer bag with the stems from kale, collards, celery leaves and leek tops to be frozen until making soup stock. We read your hints daily in the Cecil (County, Md.) Whig. — Joan in Maryland KITCHEN RUG Dear Heloise: After many washings, my kitchen rugs became very dangerous. I had some of the perforated, soft-rubber shelf liner, so I cut pieces a bit shorter and narrower than the rug. The resulting combination turned out to be absolutely nonslip. — Wilson H. in Laredo, Texas

HOROSCOPE Wednesday, Sept. 28, 2011 If from time to time in the year ahead you get some very strong hunches regarding business or other serious matters, do not treat them with indifference. They will definitely be worthy of further investigation.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Not only will companions appreciate your charisma, they will equally welcome your leadership qualities as well. No one will challenge the example you set or mess with your directives.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Friends know that when you are told something in confidence no one will pry it from you. Someone who needs to vent will share private information with you that others won’t hear until much later.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — When involved in a group activity, be sure to make the rounds instead of singling out one person for special attention. Converse equally with one and all, and everything will go smoothly.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Capricorns can sometimes be extremely single-minded and standoffish or extremely outgoing when necessity demands. This could be one of those days when you’ll have to make a choice.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — If at all possible, seek endeavors that will enable you to utilize your imagination and creativity. It will encourage you to come up with some ideas that you’ll be proud of.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — It might look to others that you’re likely to take things at face value, but actually you won’t be easily deceived.

Slick salespersons or con artists won’t find you to be an easy mark at all.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) — There is no excuse for ducking an important decision just because you think it’s overly tricky. If you don’t have the courage to render a judgment call now, you never will.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — It’s important to realize that details can be just as important as major factors when rendering a decision. Remember that each small part is essential to the making of the whole.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — You’ll get far more out of being with companions who are young in spirit than you will spending time with somber fellows. It’ll be the youthful in mind who will help you feel young at heart.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) — It is so wonderful of you to be protective and cherishing of those you love, but be careful not to carry this too far. You must take care to leave your dear ones some breathing space.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Your natural ability to read the character of others is exceptionally pronounced.

However, a word of caution: Keep your critical evaluations to yourself.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — One of your better virtues is your willingness to teach and share your knowledge with others. You could have some real gems of information that’ll save people money. Don’t hold back.

105 Announcements

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

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

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

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

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

The Long Range Transportation Plan is a long-range (20+ year) strategy and capital improvement program developed to guide the effective investment of public funds in multimodal transportation facilities. The plan is updated every four years and is prepared by MVRPC in cooperation with local and state officials, and other agencies.

MVRPC staff will be on hand to review the list of DRAFT transportation projects and accept comments/input regarding transportation issues in order to update the 2040 Long Range Transportation Plan. This is an opportunity for the general public to have a say in the future of transportation in the Miami Valley. MVRPC staff will present background information on existing transportation conditions and the transportation goals which have been established.

If you are unable to attend, information on the 2040 Long Range Transportation Plan Update will also be available for public review on MVRPC’s website at http://www.mvrpc.org/transportation/long-range on or before Monday, October 10, 2011, and at the MVRPC offices, One South Main Street, Suite 260, Dayton, OH, 45402, during regular business hours (8:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday).

At all MVRPC public participation meetings, interpreters for hearing impaired individuals or bi-lingual interpreters are available upon request. Requests should be made at least one week prior to the meeting date. Contact MVRPC at (937) 223-6323 or 1-800-750-0750 TTY/TDD to request an interpreter.

Vikings get payback, beat Cavs in 3 Staff Reports

MIAMI COUNTY

CASSTOWN — History was made and redemption was had Tuesday in front of packed house at the new Miami East gymnasium.

After a loss to Lehman — Division IV’s No. 2 team and the defending state champ — Saturday, Division III’s No. 1 team, Miami East, rebounded to sweep the Cavaliers by scores of

25-19, 25-20, 25-14 to pick up the school’s first ever victory over Lehman in volleyball.

“The girls did an excellent job executing our game plan,” Miami East coach John Cash said. “We left Saturday (against Lehman) knowing we didn’t play our best, but we played well. But we watched over the film, and we came out and executed and kept

the long plays alive. If you’re going to do that, you will win games.

“I thought our defense was very good. We had seven aces — and to do that against Lehman is just incredible.”

Abby Cash led the Vikings with six digs, 15 assists, four kills, four aces and one block.

Sam Cash had five digs, five assists, eight kills, three assists and two blocks, Leah Dunivan

Cavs win sectional

Coasting through a blasé performance early on against Sidney, the Troy Trojans desperately needed a spark.

So Tori Fenter gave them a jump-start.

The Troy senior defensive specialist ran off eight straight service points, mixing speeds and spots to the point that the Yellowjackets had no clue where the ball was headed as the Trojan seniors took turns making clutch plays in a Senior Night sweep of Sidney, 25-14, 25-12, 25-15 Tuesday at the Trojan Activities Center.

Staff Reports One stroke was all that separated Lehman Catholic and Russia boys golf in the Division III sectional Tuesday at Beechwood Golf Course.

But all that really mattered for both teams is that they are returning to district next Thursday at Weatherwax Golf Course in West Middletown.

Lehman won with a 336 total, while Russia was second with 337.

TROY As lopsided as the final was, though, it started out 6-6 in a messy first game.

“It was frustrating up to that point,” Troy coach Michelle Owen said. “Our defense was lazy, our serve was lazy, and we really did not have a strong sense of urgency.

“Tori really got us going.”

After a Jenn Monnier kill gave Fenter the serve, the senior set about confusing Sidney’s serve receive. A knuckleball of an ace dropped short over the net and in front of a pair of diving Yellowjackets, then a blast tore right through a returner’s hands. A third straight ace made it 12-6, and by the time it

At first doubles, Meredith Orozco and Holly Riley defeated Piqua’s Kim McCullough and Hayley Weidner 6-0, 6-0. The second doubles team of Brooke Duncan and Kelly Fischer beat Andrea Ferree and Abby Helman 6-0, 6-0 With the win, Troy (12-4, 4-1) finishes the regular season second in the GWOC North to 5-0

ARCANUM Russia senior Corey Bremigan was medalist, shooting 76 in less than ideal scoring conditions.

“I guess it was (just enough to win),” Lehman coach Elmer Schlater said about his team’s total. “But, all that really matters is we are going on to district. This is our 11th straight year doing that.”

Lehman’s consistency was the key. All four Cavalier scores that counted were in the 80s.

“Four of our five golfers were in the 80s,” Schlater said. “That is what you have to do. We know we are going to have to play a lot Troy’s Marie Rank goes up for a kill Tuesday in a sweep of Sidney

Golf ■ CONTINUED FROM B1 better next week, but the conditions today were pretty tough.”

Ben Thieman, who led Lehman with an 80, wasn’t happy with his score despite the tough conditions.

“I didn’t hit the ball very well,” he said. “I just wasn’t crisp. That (battling) is exactly what I did today. I am probably going to go see a pro (to get instruction). If I want to get back to state (he played with the team two years ago and as an individual last year), I have got a lot of work to do.”

Other Lehman scores were John Copella 82, Tyler Bergman 85, Sam Dean 89 and Bryce Eck 109.

“The team did well because of our consistency,” Thieman said. “That is what you have to have.”

That consistency helped Lehman coach Elmer Schlater achieve a milestone earlier this

Troy’s Danielle Wright makes a save Tuesday against Sidney.

■ CONTINUED FROM B1 was all over, Troy was up 15-6.

“Tori was putting the ball right where we wanted it,” Owen said. “After that, our energy was a million times better.”

And it really was all over from there.

Because Jenna Selby got involved.

Selby had 10 of her match-high 19 kills in the second game as Troy jumped out to a 10-2 lead.

With the score 15-7, Selby scored five straight Troy points with four kills and a block, and Leah Selby (seven kills) put the game away with a kill.

“Jenna had 10 kills in that second game, and she was hitting at 56 percent.

That’s pretty remarkable,” Owen said. “Our goal as a team is 30 percent, and we hit 56 percent in that game. They really had no answer for her.”

In the end, though, it was the seniors’ night.

Fenter finished with three aces and three digs, Chelsey Sakal had 18 assists, Marie Rank had three kills and a block and Danielle Wright had 11 digs and two third-game aces.

“I was glad to see all four of them come out and play well,” Owen said.

“They all made key plays at key times. We wanted some good momentum

Browns show growth in win BEREA (AP) — As the elated Browns celebrated in their locker room, Cleveland’s players didn’t mind that their win on Sunday was ugly.

Really ugly. Hideously ugly. Repulsively ugly.

Didn’t matter. Warts and all, the Browns (2-1) beat Miami 17-16, rallying in the final minute to get a victory that seemed unattainable for 59 minutes. And, in pulling out the win, they accomplished something more, something that may have gone unnoticed to Cleveland’s younger players.

“When all the odds are against you, you come back, you find a way, you keep scratching, clawing and digging and you pull it out, it says a lot about the character on this team,” 10-year veteran right tackle Artis Hicks said. “One thing you can’t coach a team is to fight.

“Either the team has it in them or they don’t.”

On Sunday, the Browns showed their grit at the end.

But for most of the day, they were in a football funk.

Quarterback Colt McCoy kept inexplicably missing open receivers and forcing throws as Cleveland’s offense struggled to find any rhythm. With running back Peyton Hillis out sick, return specialist Josh Cribbs unable to field punts or kickoffs because of a groin injury and Miami’s offense eating up the clock, the Browns seemed destined to lose their second straight home game.

McCoy, though, led the Browns on an 80-yard scoring drive, capped by a 14yard TD pass to Mohamed

Miami Dolphins running back Daniel Thomas (33) takes a slew of players with him as he runs, including Cleveland Browns defensive tackle Ahtyba Rubin (71), Dolphins center Mike Pouncey (51), and Browns safety Usama Young (28) in the second quarter Sunday in Cleveland.

Massaquoi, whose leaping, acrobatic catch with 14 seconds left gave Cleveland fans a chance to finally celebrate after so many late, punch-in-the-stomach losses the past few years.

Last season alone, the Browns lost seven games by 7 points or less.

“In the end, winning does wonders,” linebacker Chris Gocong said. “It really does boost your confidence and winning like that especially.

They say that it wasn’t a pretty win, but I thought it was beautiful.”

Following the game, coach Pat Shurmur joked that he had upgraded his team’s list of corrections from a “boatload” to a “freighter load of stuff to correct.”

On Monday, the Browns, who are 2-1 for the first time

in nine years, began fixing their many mistakes.

Shurmur’s first priority is to get the Browns to start faster. Cleveland has been outscored 20-0 in the first quarter of its three games, putting the Browns in early holes and forcing them to have to play from behind.

That’s a dangerous trend, one Shurmur knows needs to be corrected.

• Benson Upset CINCINNATI — Bengals union representative Andrew Whitworth is upset that running back Cedric Benson and other NFL players could face suspensions for offseason incidents.

Benson and cornerback Adam “Pacman” Jones are subject to league discipline for arrests that occurred during the NFL’s lockout.

Eight players overall are facing discipline under the league’s conduct policy.

Benson has a hearing scheduled for Tuesday.

Whitworth said Monday he wouldn’t have supported the new collective bargaining agreement if he knew players would be suspended for things that happened before the deal was reached.

“I was very shocked,” Whitworth said. “It doesn’t make a whole lot of sense to me.

“I feel like it’s the wrong decision, and I also believe the union let those eight guys down. I don’t feel like that was fair. To me, if I was told that was a make-orbreak, I would have said that’s a make-or-break deal, that we were going to sell out eight guys to have an agreement.”

TODAY IN HISTORY (AP) — Today is Wednesday, Sept. 28, the 271st day of 2011.

There are 94 days left in the year. The Jewish New Year, Rosh Hashana, begins at sunset.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Sept. 28, 1787, the Congress of the Confederation voted to send the just-completed Constitution of the United States to state legislatures for their approval.

On this date: • In 1066, William the

Conqueror invaded England to claim the English throne.

• In 1542, Portuguese navigator Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo arrived at present-day San Diego.

• In 1850, flogging was abolished as a form of punishment in the U.S. Navy.

• In 1920, eight members of the Chicago White Sox were indicted for allegedly throwing the 1919 World Series against the Cincinnati Reds. (All were acquitted at trial, but all eight

were banned from the game for life.)

• In 1924, two U.S. Army planes landed in Seattle, having completed the first round-theworld flight in 175 days.

• Today’s Birthdays: Actor William Windom is 88. Actress Brigitte Bardot is 77. Singer Ben E. King is 73. Actor Joel Higgins is 68. Singer Helen Shapiro is 65. Movie writer-director-actor John Sayles is 61. Actress Sylvia Kristel is 59. Rock musician George Lynch is 57.

Lawmakers consider disaster fund proposal Cannon said.

He said about 400 temporary housing units will be needed, and 25 trailers have already arrived in the Harrisburg area.

The bulk of the housing need will likely be met by rooms in hotels and motels that will be paid for with a mixture of state and federal money, but natural gas drilling activity has made it difficult to find rental

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Weeks after severe flooding ravaged eastern and central Pennsylvania, 114 people are still living in shelters, the state’s lead emergency official said Tuesday, but efforts are under way to find them more permanent housing.

“They have been there too long,” Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency director Glenn

properties in northeastern Pennsylvania, where many communities were inundated by flooding earlier this month, he said.

Some of the victims were unaware that federal aid was quickly deposited in their name.

“We have found people in shelters that did not check their bank accounts, that had $20,000, $30,000 in their bank account,”

Cannon told the joint House-Senate Veterans Affairs and Emergency Preparedness committee meeting.

Others were homeless before the disaster, and officials are working with social service agencies and other groups to help them, he said.

The total number of storm-related deaths remains unclear. PEMA

said Tuesday five have been confirmed as stormrelated: two in Dauphin County and one each in Lebanon, Luzerne and York. Seven are under investigation, and two that had been reported as storm-related were ruled out.

The hearing examined whether Pennsylvania should establish a state disaster assistance program, as some 25 other states have done.

Sen. Lisa Baker, RLuzerne, said proposals include dedicating the Johnstown Flood Tax,

which is an 18 percent levy on alcohol, or spending some of the hundreds of millions of dollars in surplus created by passage of the state budget this summer.

“For victims whose lives have been devastated or severely disrupted by natural disaster, this is not a philosophical question,” Baker said. “It is a very practical consideration of need and fairness. Those who have seen homes and businesses wiped out should not be penalized because the economy is stagnant.”
