Stump back in Troy, surrounded by support BY NATALIE KNOTH Staff Writer nknoth@tdnpublishing.com A week after Rachel Stump returned home, her mother Karen Hoagland said Rachel’s recovery has been nothing short of miraculous, aided by the support of many and the love of God. Despite the of the situation, severity Hoagland said she never gave up hope that Rachel would fully recover.

Whether you cross paths with Her Majesty, the 23rd annual festival in Harveysburg offers a chance to experience Old England at a 30-acre permanent village, where visitors can take in the sights, smells and tastes of 16th century England without having to cross an ocean.

Infinity Fitness continues to grow BY NATALIE KNOTH Staff Writer nknoth@tdnpublishing.com Infinity Fitness had its grand opening last month, but the crossfitness gym has been promising intense workouts for people of all skill levels for about a year, with 2950 Stone Circle being its third location. Owners and friends Graham Spagnola, Josh Otstot, Rick Szakal and Matt Melvin have been at the current location for about four months. “We’ve existed since last October and have had constant shuffling between buildings,” Spagnola said. “It’s hard to find a building for cross fitness. You need a wide open industrial space, nothing fancy.” They are in the process of finding a new location, as the current facility is tight on space. “It’s tough having your hands tied, when physical location affects business growth,” Spagnola explained. The gym used to be a car dealership, he added. Cross fitness — defined as “constantly varied, functional movements done under high intensity” — is comprised of three key components: gymnastics, weight training and metabolic conditioning. It is particularly utilized by military forces and athletes. Infinity Fitness adapts workouts to individuals’ fitness levels, scaling down weights, the range of

Will Ohio’s economic uptick be a boon for Obama?

CANTON (AP) — In this crucial battleground in campaign 2012, William Healy and Joe Halter stand on opposing sides of the great divide: How to jump-start the economy? Healy, the Democratic mayor of Canton, recalls how, in the grim early days of 2010, when unemployment topped 13 percent, the budget was shrinking and pressures to meet payroll were mounting, his city desperately needed help. The rescue, he says, came with millions of dollars in federal funds that Canton used to repair bridges, pave streets, demolish homes, hire workers and help keep police and firefighters on the job. “Those stimulus dollars allowed us to survive the recession,” the mayor says. “Without them we would have been dead in the water.” Halter, meanwhile, is a Republican and CEO of a small steel forging company forced to cut workers during the downturn. He watched with frustration as bilSTAFF PHOTOS/ANTHONY WEBER lions of dollars were doled out to Infinity Fitness trainer Matt Melvin helps Jennifer Walters improve on stimulus projects, drowning banks, tricep dips using exercise rings Friday in Troy.

MIAMI COUNTY’S MOST WANTED Justin Long Date of birth: 11/14/87 Location: Casstown Height: 5’10” Weight: 180 Hair color: Brown Eye color: LONG Green Wanted for: Probation violation — Reckless operation PROVIDED PHOTOS/TIMOTHY JACKSON

It’s all about mums this weekend in Tipp A crowd flocks to Tipp City Park on Saturday for the 54th annual Tipp City Mum Festival. This year’s theme is Vintage Mums … Long Live the ’50s.The festival, which includes arts and crafts exhibits, food, a merchant’s market and entertainment, continues today.

Stump • Continued from A1 2:15 a.m. Aug. 19 by a 2002 Mitsubishi Galant, driven by 21-year-old Connor Anderson. According to witnesses, Rachel was not in the crosswalk when she stepped into High Street near Chittenden Avenue. Anderson had a green light; he later failed a field sobriety test. Rachel spent several days in a medically induced coma and on life support at OSU’s Wexner Medical Center. She was then transferred to OSU’s Dodd Hall for inpatient rehabilitation. After a month-long stay in the hospital, Rachel returned home to Troy on Friday, Sept. 21 — about a week earlier than expected, said her father, Matt Stump. “It’s wonderful to have her home. We’re enjoying the little things, stuff just like watching movies and enjoying comfort food. Getting her home from school, we’ve been spoiling her. Trying to,” he said with a laugh. “She said she’s glad to be out of the hospital, but sad not to be in Columbus,” Matt added. “There are mixed feelings for her and for us as well. That’s where she feels she belongs.” Since returning home, Rachel has been alternat-

ing spending time at her mother’s home and father’s home, just a few blocks apart from each other. She’s had several friends visit. Still, “bittersweet” might be the best way to describe her time at home. “It definitely feels good to sleep in my own bed, but I’d rather be at school,” Rachel said, quickly adding that she has immensely appreciated the outpouring of support from her family and the community. “Everyone has told me because I was so involved in school and was a varsity cheerleader, that I shouldn’t be surprised. But I was. Everybody was so kind,” she said. A Facebook page called “#PrayForRachel” has garnered more than 13,805 likes, and numerous fundraisers have taken place to offset her medical costs. Rachel is required to wear a helmet until her bone flap — a piece of the skull — is replaced after brain swelling decreases. (She had to have her hair cut short as a necessity for the brain surgery: “I think it looks so cute,” her mother said. “She doesn’t think so.”) For the last week, Rachel has been undergoing therapy at Upper Valley Medical Center and has had appointments in

Columbus as well, though she is on no pain medicines or medications of any kind. Next week she meets with her neurologist to find out when she has the surgery to replace the bone flap. “They (doctors) were really surprised. When I was removed from ICU to the rehabilitation center, a doctor said I was within the top three fastest recovering patients he’s ever had in the two or three years he’d been there, ” Stump said. While she doesn’t remember the accident, Rachel does remember being at her friend’s apartment that night, as well as the days prior, when she moved into Ohio State. Matt said Rachel’s short-term and long-term memory are both on par, though it seems some of her higher cognitive reasoning may take a little longer to recover. “Those of us who had had more serious talks with her before have noticed this,” he said. Once her brain swelling goes down, Matt said he’s been told that Rachel should have more finesse with discussing more complicated issues. Over the last few weeks, Matt said Rachel also has lost significant muscle mass; whereas she used to be able to lift 15pound weights, she now cannot lift two-pound weights. “The brain is very much like that as well. It’s a mus-

cle. She hasn’t used it (fully) in five to six weeks. When she was in a coma, she wasn’t breathing on her own,” he noted. But, he added, Rachel has not lost her calculus skills. “The doctor said not to spend a lot of time on that. We don’t want to rush along,” Matt said, adding, “She’s been playing board games and cards to strategize. It’s good for recovery.” Rachel’s sister Ashley Miramontes, 24, of Troy said Rachel is excited to return to OSU. “She said she hopes to be back in the summer or next fall. I don’t think doctors have given any reason why she couldn’t do that,” Miramontes said. Although she hasn’t been able to cheer on the Buckeyes with her classmates, Rachel has been keeping up on football. Since coming out of her coma, she hasn’t missed a game. “I’m still a huge Buckeye fan. (Doctors) would see my Buckeye blanket and OSU stuff and they’d be like, ‘Are you an OSU fan?’ And I’d say, ‘I’m an OSU student!’” Rachel said. Her mother said she’s been amazed by Rachel’s optimism. “She’s not upset. She doesn’t give up. She doesn’t feel sorry for herself,” Hoagland said. “Right now she has two big goals: She wants her hair back, and she wants to go back to school.”

Ohio • Continued from A1 where many hail the auto bailout as a catalyst in Ohio’s recovery. It also raises larger economic questions about which direction and which candidate offer the best hope for more progress. Will voters focus on the revitalized auto industry and unemployment below the U.S. average and regard President Barack Obama as the architect of a hopeful but not yet robust economy? Or will they see government as an obstacle, hundreds of thousands of people still out of work and look to Mitt Romney for the answers? “Each side is selling a portrait,” says James Brock, an economics professor at Miami University in Ohio. “For Obama, it’s, ‘Look, things are getting better, stick with me.’ For Romney, it’s, ‘Things will be a lot better if you switch to me.’ Where does the electorate go? Will they stick with what seems to be working or jump to something that might work better?” The answer could determine who captures Ohio’s 18 all-important electoral votes and wins the White House. Ohio was once synonymous with steel and rubber, a land of roaring blast furnaces that filled the night sky with smoke and flames. The state was home to generations of blue-collar workers who streamed through plant gates with clockwork precision every morning. The era when Goodyear, Firestone and LTV dominated the Ohio landscape is long gone. Ohio has lost more than 368,000 manufacturing jobs since 2000. But heavy industry still has an enormous presence. There are autos in Lordstown (General Motors), Toledo (Chrysler), Marysville (Honda) and Cleveland (Ford). There’s steel in Youngstown and Lorain (and elsewhere). There are polymer companies making car parts, specialty tires, bowls, wall fabric, paint and more in Akron, the former rubber capital. There are medical hubs in Columbus, Cincinnati and Cleveland. There’s farming across the state. And there’s a natural gas boom in eastern Ohio, driving demand for steel parts used in drilling.

The nine envelopes he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t choose contained silver tickets. Only the one he chose contained the Golden Ticket, making him a very surprised winner of the 2012 Ford Focus.

ONLINE POLL

(WWW.TROYDAILYNEWS.COM)

Question: Have you registered to vote? Watch for final poll results in next Sunday’s Miami Valley Sunday News.

Last week’s question: Have you decided which presidential candidate you are voting for? Results: Yes: 93% No: 7%

Watch for a new poll question in next Sunday’s Miami Valley Sunday News.

“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 Obama and Romney getting it wrong on China trade: Bashing China has become a ritual in presidential campaigns. The recent back-and-forth between President Barack Obama and Mitt Romney fits the pattern perfectly, but this time, the smoothing-out part might be dicier — what with tensions already heightened in the South China Sea, where China is bullying its neighbors over control of disputed island chains. Beijing is already suspicious of Washington’s role in these disputes. After Romney accused Obama of being soft on China, the Obama administration filed a World Trade Organization complaint targeting Chinese subsidies that cut prices on exported cars and car parts. Romney called the move “too little, too late,” and has said that if elected he would declare Beijing a currency manipulator, opening the door to tariffs on Chinese imports. This may please swing-state voters with jobs threatened by foreign competition, but it should concern consumers generally. Obama and Romney are competing to be seen as eager to whack Chinese imports with tariffs, which would mean higher prices on a lot of things we buy. Only in the looking-glass world of trade politics do politicians want to be seen as tax-raisers, which is what you are when you raise a tariff. America’s China-trade debate seems increasingly behind the curve. China’s trade surplus with the United States remains hefty, but its surplus with the rest of the world is shrinking fast. Five years ago it was 10 percent of the Chinese economy. Last year it was less than 3 percent. China’s once-low wages are rising speedily — around 10 percent a year over the last decade. Many economists believe China’s recent investment boom has been overdone and the nation is headed for a hard landing. Within five years, thanks to its one-child policy and its rapidly aging population, its labor force will begin to shrink. The emphasis in our trade debate is wrong. Instead of talking about raising U.S. trade barriers, why don’t the candidates tell us how they would work to lower China’s? The Denver Post on gun rights and gun control not being exclusive: One of the stranger revelations of this election season is that gun retailers are gearing up for a surge in winter sales if President Obama is reelected — similar to what happened after his election in 2008. Never mind that no significant piece of gun legislation has passed during Obama’s first term and the president has never listed gun control as a priority. Second Amendment enthusiasts continue to suspect him of secretly yearning to restrict gun ownership — or even to confiscate weapons if he could. And their fears are stoked by the likes of the National Rifle Association, whose spokesman was quoted recently in The Wall Street Journal as warning that “there’s no political downside if Obama enacts more stringent guncontrol measures” in his second term. Oh, please. True, polls in recent years have consistently affirmed that Americans believe it’s more important to protect the right to own guns than to enact gun control. In fact, a Denver Post poll published a week ago revealed the same pattern in Colorado: 56 percent of those asked said it was “more important” to protect the right of Americans to own guns than “to control gun ownership.” However, the problem with such all-or-nothing questions — and we realize that this particular question on gun control has been a standard of polling for many years — is that they don’t leave room for opinion on specific policies. After all, banning high-capacity gun magazines doesn’t threaten the right to bear arms. So, yes, it’s important for elected officials to understand that Coloradans for the most part remain strong supporters of Second Amendment rights even in the wake of the mass shooting in Aurora. But that doesn’t mean those same officials shouldn’t take the lead in promoting sensible reforms that reduce the likelihood of such crimes — or at least the likelihood of their success. Why, of course they should.

THEY SAID IT “Giving back has always been really important to my family. My brother did an Eagle Scout project with the family abuse shelter in Troy and my parents have been making donations to the shelter since we were kids.” — Troy High School senior Fiona Foster, who has started a restaurant discount card program to benefit The Family Abuse Shelter of Miami County “(Adequate Yearly Progress) is an area we keep working on and keep looking for ways to improve. We’ve had results since this summer and we look at the indivudual growth of all our students.” — Troy City School Superintendent Eric Herman, on the state report card “It got changed by one day. We originally said Oct. 15, and now it’s Oct. 16. Basically at the beginning, we had a delay with bringing utilities and needed an extra day added on.” — Ohio Department of Transportation representative Starli Bartlett, on the opening of the Adams Street Bridge

Pro debacle shines light on local refs’ plight I know a little something about having a thankless job, relatively speaking. But each time I go out to cover a game, someone else is watching that same game with the most thankless job in all of sports. The referees. The National Football League’s lockout of its professional officials and subsequent use of pathetically unqualified replacements may have placed a massive spotlight on officiating professional sporting events, but with countless high school and junior high, freshman, junior varsity and varsity events going on across every state in the country on a nightly basis, there’s lots more ref abuse going on than anyone cares to admit. Sure, some of them could technically be considered underqualified, too — often part of the crew is made up of volunteers in some sports — but that’s no excuse for some of the things these men and women have to put up with every single night. Let’s face it. The best possible night for local officials at your average high school game of any kind is that he gets every call right, there’s no close or question-

Josh Brown Troy Daily News Columnist able plays to upset either group of parents/fans … and no one says a word to them. They go completely unnoticed. Maybe the coaches give them a quick “good job tonight,” but that’s it. They show up, they do their job, they do it well, and then they go home with barely a “thank you for your service” tossed their way. And that’s the best they can hope for. More often than not, there’s a close play one way or the other — or some highly-biased parents decide to view a play as closer than it actually was — and they lose their minds, hurling every manner of insult (and sometimes curse words, because those belong near school-aged children) at the

poor officials who, by and large, have a much better view of and angle toward the action than people sitting in the stands do. Sure, they blow calls sometimes — often even — but when it comes down to it, those calls very, very, very rarely end up affecting the outcome of the game itself. I get it, though. I remember what it was like to be a typical fan. Abusing the refs was just part of the fun of watching a game. No matter how right they are — and how much video evidence supports them — they’re always wrong. But being a sports writer for the past eight years has taken that fun from me. I even watch professional sporting events involving my favorite teams as an objective observer now. When something controversial happens I wait for the replay, see that the ref was right, shake my head silently and go back to watching the game. And I’ll also admit to not giving the NFL’s replacement refs any credit or respect — mainly because they didn’t deserve it. They were merely the NFL’s bargaining chip in an effort to rob the real officials of money that they deserve. And I’ll definitely admit

to rooting for the scabs to screw up in the worst possible way on the biggest stages they could so the real refs could get what they deserved (seriously, NFL owners, you have plenty of money, but you aren’t nearly as deserving of it as anyone involved in the games that are being played. You sit behind a desk and do next to nothing. The people on the field are the reason you have all of that money. Give it to them). But the high school level is a bit different than the pros. Most or all of the local refs would probably love to take your advice and go back to their day jobs — which they actually have — instead of having a handful of bad apples try to call traveling for them when its painfully obvious that the people in the stands have never read the actual definition of the call. They don’t do it for the money, or for anyone’s gratitude. They do it because it needs to be done. And they deserve far more respect than they get. Maybe even a “good job” every now and then.

LOCAL OBITUARIES

Teachers • Continued from A1 teacher and president of the Troy City Education Association, said on the surface, the OTEM makes sense yet “the devil is in the details.” “We’re used to seeing these types of changes every year,” said Yunker, in reference to the changes mandated in education every year. Yet Yunker said the part of the new OTEM model that concerns teachers isn’t the observation of teachers in a classroom, it is how the Ohio Department of Education wants to use student growth measures, mainly state testing, that is troublesome to many educators. “No teacher has a problem being held accountable for student achievement,” Yunker said. “But the other side is the outside factors that come in to play outside of the classroom — what if you have a student that doesn’t come every day? That student isn’t going to perform at grade level and then that teacher is found ineffective because the student didn’t test well.” Yunker said all Troy City School teachers have been evaluated for years, including new teachers who are observed and evaluated several times throughout their first three years of teaching, per union contract. Yunker, who heads the district’s teacher evaluation committee, said the district’s administration has been supportive of the recent legislation. “Our staff has supported us very well with all the changes,” Yunker said. “We all understand that ‘we are all in this together.’” According to Yunker, the TCEA has a membership of approximately 275 teachers, with approximately four teachers nonunion. Yunker said, “We never have, and we never will, protect poor teachers.” Yunker said the district has used a research-based evaluation system of its own for year and cited many examples of how ineffective teachers received help to improve.

• To view the Ohio’s Teacher Evaluation Model, visit www.ode.oh.us. “We already have a policy in place to help work with him/her and our system uses an ‘improvement plan’ which works,” Yunker said. And once it is found that a teacher fails to improve, with additional help from the district, the process to remove the teacher is made by administration and its procedures, Yunker said. Yunker used an example of a struggling elementary teacher who was able to get back on track with an improvement plan and now thrives within the district. Yunker said many of the state’s problematic teachers are mostly found in urban areas like Dayton Public Schools, Toledo, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Columbus while school districts such as Troy City Schools are “in a great place right now.” “We as teachers are always looking for ways to improve,” Yunker said. He said local control and decisions made “closer to home” are vital. Yunker used the example of a Troy teacher being sent to Dayton Public Schools or inner Cincinnati. Yunker said that an effective teacher at Troy may not be as effective somewhere else “because it’s a totally different set of students, different community values and expectations.” Yunker said, for example, his teaching style adapts to the social issues of the year, such as the presidential election this fall. “Teachers want to teach what is relevant and if we are teaching toward a test, that isn’t happening,” Yunker said. He said he also fears many educators may try to show student growth by manipulating numbers, such as making students take tests at the beginning of the year on material they’ve never been introduced to before, then retest at the end of the year to show “student growth.”

“My worst fear is some will try to find ways to beat the system so (teachers) aren’t penalized,” he said. “Look! I got growth! When, in reality, they just got the numbers. “ Also, Yunker said he believes the OTEM may make it tempting for some teachers to teach lower grade levels that aren’t subjected to value-added data. Yunker said its legislation like the OTEM that will tax teachers’ time and administration’s time, taking away from the students themselves. The OTEM must be completed by May 1 with at least three formal observations of each teacher who is under consideration for non-renewal and with a limited contract or an extended limited contract. “That is a lot of time with the observation and then sitting down with an administrator to discuss their observation,” Yunker said. He also said a problem with the system is that state report card test data isn’t received until the summer months, well after school is out for the session. “So essentially, you are being observed in a different classroom of students, yet last year’s kids’ scores are part of your rating,” he said. Yunker said it is a misconception that teacher are resistant to change. “We aren’t resistant to change, we’re not fighting the state,” he said. “The details haven’t been made and there are things that aren’t really saying why they are, the way they are.” Yunker said with the TCEA’s contract up for renewal by July 1, 2014, many of the state’s mandates won’t be adopted until that date. Yet the district must adopt a teacher’s evaluation system, along with the administration and its teacher evaluation committee, by July 2013. “We care about teaching, we care about our kids and that can’t be all reflected by just numbers on a test or with a teacher’s rating,” he said.

JAMES L. CREAGER PIQUA — James L. Creager, 77, of Piqua, died at 9:30 a.m. Friday, Sept. 28, 2012, at the home of his daughter.

FORT ROWDY GATHERING

Sunday, September 30, 2012

Nickel named grand marshal COVINGTON — The Fort Rowdy Gathering has announced Mary Nickel as the 2012 Grand Marshal. Nickel is known in the Covington area as “the little lady with all that energy,” “busy as a bee,” and “she wears me out just watching her.” This very active 98-year-old always follows her personal motto of “keeping active is what keeps you alive.” Born and raised in New Carlisle, she moved to Covington with her husband Henry in 1945, when their children were ready to start school. They liked the feel of a small town and “Covington has good schools.” She and Henry have four children, Virginia (dec’d), Kay (dec’d), Kenny (dec’d), and Charles, who is just as active as his mother. Nickel has nine grandchildren and 12 great-grandchildren. Living in town until Henry retired, they then moved to a farm outside of Covington. Mary moved back into town in 1989, after her husband passed. Nickel has stayed active her entire life. She started working

when she was 11 years old, running errands for women in New Carlisle. She then went to work in a restaurant, making 50 cents a day, first learning to dip ice cream, and then working her way up to waiting on customers. She worked in a movie theater, turning pages for the organist during ‘silent’ movies so she could see the movies for free. She also worked helping women at night who could not take care of themselves. She worked at Tate Manufacturing (later called Century Electric) for 18 years. Some of Nickel’s many activities include deacon at the UCC, Brukner Herb Society, Alpha Garden Club, Pierian Club, and is a former leader in Brownies, Girl Scouts and Cub Scouts. She gives lectures on the history of the Covington area at schools and organizations. She is well known around the area as “the noodle lady,” providing homemade noodles for events and fundraisers. Her great love of all things Covington brought Nickel to the Covington-Newberry Historical

Ohio suits Tippecanoe’s Allison Sinning. The junior transfer student from Arkansas has been enjoying the climate change — and the different atmosphere surrounding the sport of cross country in general. “I like it (Ohio) a lot,” Sinning said after winning the Miami County Invitational at the Lowry Complex Saturday and leading the Red Devil girls to a firstplace finish as a team. “The weather is a lot nicer. It’s not as humid, so I can actually breathe on the course. I did get a cold last week, though.”

Wharton — who finished second in the state in Division I last year — helped pace his teammates in the early part of the race, setting the Red Devils up for a strong first-place showing, then he turned it on and coasted to a 13-second victory, winning his third straight Miami County Invitational Saturday at the Lowry Complex at Milton-Union High School. “I was running to win, but I was also running for my team,” Troy’s Branden Nosker finished second at the Miami County

And Sinning — who ran a time of 19:07 — was not pushed all morning, winning by a 32-second margin. Which is not the kind of race she like to run. “I actually prefer to chase,” she said. “I don’t like being chased. It’s harder this way, I think. I like to do the chasing. “I felt pretty good (on the course). I knew at the mile mark that I wasn’t on track to PR, but I felt like I did the best I could.” Claudia Barhorst was fifth (20:22), Brinna Price was sixth (20:25), Meredith Coughlin was 10th (21:14) and Emily Wolfe was 11th (21:22) as the Devils won the team race with 33 points.

For the first time all season, the Troy football team finally got a win inside the friendly confines of Troy Memorial Stadium — Troy won a home game earlier this season, but that game had to be played at Ferguson Field due to weather delays — Friday night, knocking off Sidney 26-7 on homecoming night.

MIAMI COUNTY

COLUMBUS — After more than a year, 31 straight victories and a Division III State championship, Miami East finally found a challenge it couldn’t overcome. Going on the road to take on Bishop Hartley — the defending D-II State champion — the battle between the Vikings and Hawks went the distance, but in the end Miami East’s lengthy winning streak finally came to an end 25-

19, 24-26, 25-22, 16-25, 15-12 Saturday. “That was one of the best teams we’ve seen all year,” Miami East coach John Cash said. “They play fast, their gym is small, their ceilings are low and they definitely had the home-field advantage. While we didn’t win, I was proud of the girls.” And even in the fifth game, it came down to the wire.

“We played great in the fourth set, and we even played great in the fifth,” Cash said. “It was tied 12-12 at one point. But a couple of non-aggressive plays ended up biting us.” Sam Cash led the Vikings with 20 kills, four aces, a block, six digs and 19 assists, while Abby Cash had 14 kills, two aces, two blocks, 12 digs and 26 assists. Angie Mack had eight kills and nine digs, Trina Current had six kills and a blocks, Leah Dunivan had five kills, two

aces and four blocks, Ashley Current had a kill and two blocks, Allie Millhouse had 23 digs and an ace and Allison Morrett had 20 digs and an assist. “This was definitely a state finals atmosphere,” Cash said. “Unfortunately, we didn’t come out on the winning side, but we took a lot of positives out of it. “This is the kind of match that lets us know if we’re ready for the

Home sweet home Trojans get 1st win at Troy Memorial Stadium this year BY DAVID FONG Executive Editor fong@tdnpublishing.com It was well worth the wait. For the first time all season, the Troy football team finally got a win inside the friendly confines of Troy Memorial Stadium — Troy won a home game earlier this season, but that game had to be played at Ferguson Field due to weather delays — Friday night, knocking off Sidney 26-7 on homecoming night.

TROY “I’ll take a win anywhere I can get it,” Troy coach Scot Brewer said. “It doesn’t matter to me.” Not only was it a win, it was a Greater Western Ohio Conference North Division win — a crucial first step toward Troy winning its first league championship since 2000. The Trojans still face four more league contests. Up next is GWOC North foe Butler, followed by Trotwood, Greenville and Piqua to close out the season. First, however, some final notes from Troy’s 26-7 win over Sidney. • PLAYER OF THE GAME This one is a no-brainer. Senior cornerback/wide receiver Seth Perdziola picked off a pair of passes — one of which led directly to a Trojan touchdown — and caught a 76-yard touchdown pass. Perdziola may not have been elected homecoming king — he was on the homecoming court — but he certainly played like royalty Friday. • UNSUNG HERO OF THE GAME That Trojan quarterback Matt Barr played at all was nothing short of a medical miracle. After suffering a sprained knee two ago against weeks Springfield, it looked all but certain that Barr would miss several weeks.

Troy’s Seth Perdziola covers a Sidney wider receiver Friday night at Troy Memorial Stadium. Perdziola had two interceptions on defense and a touchdown reception on offense in Troy’s win over Sidney. After sitting out just one game — a 7-6 loss to Miamisburg last week — Barr was back on the field for the Trojans, tossing a pair of touchdown passes, one to Blake Williams and the other to Perdziola. • PLAY OF THE GAME With Troy up 12-0 in the first quarter, Sidney pounded the ball all the way down to the Trojan 7. Three plays later, the Yellowjackets faced fourth down from less than a foot away from the Trojan goalline. Troy’s defense rose to the occassion, stuffing the Jackets short of the goalline. On the very next play, Troy tailback Fred Whitson broke off a 76yard run to completely flip

field position. Had Sidney scored and cut the Trojans lead to 12-7, there’s no telling what direction that game may have headed. • WHAT WE LEARNED Troy showed, yet again, it can bounce back from a heartbreaking loss — or, in this case, back-to-back heartbreaking losses. Against Sidney, the Trojans showed no ill effects from a 26-21 loss to Springfield in Week 4 or the loss to Miamisburg last week. Also, six weeks into the season, it has became apparent that Troy is not going to be a juggernaut on offense — something Brewer promised before the season began. Again,

however, the offense proved it can score when put in a good position by the Trojan defense and special teams. Three of Troy’s four touchdowns were set up either by an interception or long kickoff return. • WHAT HAPPENS NOW Troy continues GWOC North play at Butler. The two teams have played just one common opponent all season — Butler defeated Miamisburg 27-6 in Week 4. The Aviators should prove to be a tough test for the Trojans. At this point, games against with Trotwood and Piqua still lurking, Troy can’t afford to lose a conference game if it hopes to remain in the hunt for a championship.

CENTERVILLE

The Troy Trojans struggled Saturday morning against stiff competition at the Greater Western Ohio Conference Golf Flight Tournament, finishing tied for sixth. Troy and Springfield each had 17 points. Ivy Smith at first singles and the first doubles team of Meredith Orozco

and Holly Riley had the best finishes for the Trojans, each placing fourth. Smith defeated Centerville’s Lindsay Holcombe 9-7 in the first round, then lost to Beavercreek’s Amy Ostrow 8-0 and dropped the finals match 8-0 to Butler’s

Cheyenne Rogers. Orozco and Riley defeated Springfield’s first doubles team 8-5, fell to the eventual champ from Springboro 8-2 and lost to Centerville in the finals 85. At second doubles, Kelly Fischer and Marina Wehrkamp finished fifth. They lost in the first round to Miamisburg 8-6, defeated Butler 8-5 and won in

the finals against Springfield 8-2. Springboro swept the championships at all five spots and won the tournament with 45 points. Beavercreek and Centerville tied for second with 28 and Greenville and Miamisburg were tied for fourth with 18. Troy begins sectional tournament play Wednesday.

Logano dominates at Dover DOVER, Del. (AP) — Joey Logano romped his way to a season sweep at Dover. Logano dominated on the concrete Saturday to win the Nationwide Series race at Dover International Speedway. This win was never in doubt. Logano has struggled to transfer his success in the second-tier series to Sprint Cup racing, one reason why he’s leaving Joe Gibbs Racing for Penske Racing in 2013. But in Nationwide, few drivers can match Logano. He led 184 of the 200 laps in the No. 18 Toyota and raced to his seriesleading seventh victory of the season. He won his 16th race in 105 career Nationwide starts. Logano moved into a tie for 16th on the on career victory list in Nationwide. “My monster trophy from last time was lonely and needed a friend,” Logano said. “I’m glad I was able to get one for him.” Paul Menard was sec-

Stenhouse was ninth in the race. Darrell Wallace Jr. finished 12th after winning his first career pole earlier Saturday. Wallace, 18, is the first black driver to win a NASCAR pole in the Nationwide Series. Wallace had trouble on

the restarts to spoil his day. “That’s the way it goes. I’ll figure it out one day,” he said. Wallace is a Joe Gibbs Racing development driver. He should have plenty of years ahead to figure it out but he has no sponsorship for next season. Logano worked harder to win the June race. He powered his way to the lead with six laps left to overtake Ryan Truex. Logano was on cruise

control in this one. There were only three cautions for 15 laps, all but eliminating his closest competitors to make much of a dent in his lead. Menard couldn’t even make a serious run at Logano. “That’s really the first time I saw him all race, at the end,” Menard said. “He could just take off faster than us. I assume faster than everyone else. I don’t think he got passed all day.” Annett said Logano was just too fast. “I think we knew before we even got here that he was the car to beat, just looking at his performance here last time,” he said. The 22-year-old Logano is a two time Cup winner in his fourth full season. He is leaving Joe Gibbs Racing for the seat that opened when AJ Allmendinger was released after a failed drug test. Logano was also the youngest winner in Nationwide Series history when he won at Kentucky at the age of 18 in 2008. A

Newton’s Brady McBride runs at the Miami County Invitational Saturday. ■ CONTINUED FROM A10 Wharton said. “We had a lot of guys PR today, which is great.” Tippecanoe has won the Miami County Invitational boys race every year going back to 2007. Wharton — who ran a time of 16:14 — has won it the past three seasons, Kevin Fink won in 2009 and Jason Salyer won for two straight years before that. In fact, the last non-Red Devil runner to win the race is Troy’s Jacob Enke, who won it in 200506. “My last time here,” Wharton said. “It’s pretty special. The only other people that have done that (won consecutive Miami County Invitationals), that’s some pretty good company to be in.” “This time was probably a minute slower than the first two (times he won), but I ran the race I needed to get the team where it needed to be.” The strategy worked, too, as the Devils won the team race with 24 points. Grant Koch was third in 16:32, Ricky Andrews was fourth in 16:37, Jay Schairbaum was seventh in 17:08 and Mitch Poynter was ninth in 17:14. “I started out kind of conservative then really pushed it in the second mile,” Wharton said. And Nosker — who finished second in 16:27 — noticed. “He’s always great to run against,” Nosker said. “He won at Alliance, he’s won every meet he’s been in this year, he’s got the best time in Ohio — he’s crazy. He was pacing for his team at the start, and then he was gone.” “Sam just paced Ricky

I was kind of hoping he’d go out faster and pull Branden to a faster time,” Troy coach Bob Campbell said. “We ran OK today. It just wasn’t what we thought they’d do.” Troy finished second as a team with 42 points. Jon Osman was fifth in 16:41, Stephen Jones was sixth in 16:59, Blake Guillozet was eighth in 17:11 and Alex Meier was 28th in 18:12. “I think it (the start) was a little slow for us,” Campbell said. “(Tippecanoe’s) top three guys ran the first half of the race right together. At the mile mark, Branden was there, but our two-threefour guys were about four seconds from each other. When you get that little bit of separation early, you’re just not going to be where you need to be by the end. At the end, they were separated by 33 seconds. “I was real pleased with Alex. He went from 18:36 to 18:12. We’ll get it all worked out. We’ve just got to keep working hard.” And Nosker and the Trojans still have their sights set high. “I didn’t run the time I wanted, but I’m good with the place,” Nosker said. “I want to be top five at the GWOC meet, and I want to break 16 minutes. I’ve just got to keep practicing hard. “We’re doing well this year, and I’m glad to be part of it.”

• Surprise, Surprise With Troy and Tippecanoe almost sweeping the top 10 spots — Covington’s Lane White was the only one to break in, finishing 10th (17:18) — and the Buccaneers having another strong season already, some figured that the team race would be for fourth place. As it turned out, the team that won that race nearly surprised even further. The host Milton-Union Bulldogs finished fourth with 91 points — only three points behind Covington’s third-place total of 88. “The guys ran real well,” Milton-Union coach Michael Meredith said. “We’re expecting to surprise some people at the end of the season after today.” Dustin Fickert was 14th for the Buccs (17:32), Alex Schilling was 20th (17:51), Nate Dunn was 30th (18:16) and Matt Carder was 32nd (18:19). Troy Tyree led the Bulldogs in 15th (17:34), Connor Lunsford was 18th (17:42), Kyle Swartz was 22nd (17:55), Noah Barth was 25th (18:03) and Zack Pricer was 29th (18:50). “Kyle — a returning state runner — missed a lot of training time right before the season,” Meredith said. “He’s getting back in shape and ran well today, and Troy Tyree ran ran his state time from last year already. We’re going to surprise

some people.” • Best of the Rest Newton freshman Brady McBride continues to impress against tough competition. He finished 12th in 17:19 and was the top runner not from a full team. Miami East was fifth with 144. Seth Pemberton was 17th (17:37), Josh Ewing was 19th (17:46), Matthew Amheiser was 48th (19:13), Scot Kirby was 51st (19:17) and Ben Marlow was 56th (19:37).

There are some great teams in the county,” Troy Christian coach Jeff Daniels said. “We’ve got a nice pack of guys, and we had a bunch of PRs today. “We’re after our conference championship, and we’re sort of outside the bubble to make the regional as a team. It all comes down to that pack. Our top five are all within a minute of each other — we’ve just got to get that minute from the 19s to the 18s.” Piqua was seventh with 213 points, led by Dylan Jacobs in 50th (19:15). Bethel’s Zach Danner finished 52nd (19:24) to lead the Bees.

Volleyball ■ CONTINUED FROM A10 playoffs. And we’re definitely ready.” Tri-County North 3, Milton-Union 2 WEST MILTON — Milton-Union fell in five games to Tri-County North Saturday afternoon in West Milton. After taking the first game 25-21, Tri-County North won the next two 2519 and 25-18. In the fourth game, the Bulldogs fought off three match points to win the set 28-26. Milton saw a 7-5 lead vanish before falling 15-10 in the deciding game.

“I think that winning that fourth set was a big thing for us as a team,” Milton-Union coach Bill Ginn said. “We fought and fought in that set, and for us to ward off those match points was just a real gut check for us.” The Bulldogs were led by Kinsey Douglas’ nine kills and Kitty Douglas’ with seven kills. Cloe Smith added 11 digs and Haley Martens had 13 digs. Milton-Union (10-4) will travel to Madison next Tuesday to resume Southwestern Buckeye League play.

Baylor, West Virginia light up scoreboard 70-63 ATHENS, Ga. (AP) — Even for a Big 12 game, what West Virginia and Baylor did was crazy. Then Tennessee and Georgia showed that the Southeastern Conference isn’t all about defense. Geno Smith and No. 9 West Virginia beat No. 25 Baylor 70-63 on Saturday in Morgantown. The Mountaineers’ first game in the Big 12 turned out to be the highest-scoring game in the history of the conference. The Mountaineers and Bears came up only three points short of the most points in a regulation FBS game. The record is 136 set

by Navy (74) and North Texas (62) in 2007. Baylor did tie a record for most points by a losing team in a regulation FBS game. It almost made Tennessee-Georgia look like a defensive struggle. The fifth-ranked Bulldogs needed three late takeaways to hold on for a 51-44 victory over the Vols at home. It was the highestscoring game in the 42-game history of the SEC rivalry. No. 4 Florida St. 30, South Florida 17 TAMPA, Fla. — EJ Manuel threw for 242 yards and a touchdown, helping Florida State remain unbeaten.

Receiver Rashad Greene got the Seminoles going with a 10-yard touchdown run, Christian Jones scored on a 12-yard fumble return and Penn State transfer Kevin Haplea had a 1-yard TD reception as the Seminoles (5-0) survived their first road test of the season by pulling away from a three-point lead with two TDs and a field goal in the final 5:09 of the third quarter. Three years after returning to his hometown of Tallahassee to lead USF (23) to a 10-point upset of Florida State in his first college start, B.J. Daniels threw for 143 yards and ran

for 72 more and two touchdowns for the Bulls. No. 17 Clemson 45, Boston College 31 BOSTON — Tajh Boyd threw for 367 yards and three touchdowns and ran in another for Clemson. Boyd completed 28 of 38 passes and ran 11 times for 42 yards and a TD for Clemson (4-1, 1-1 Atlantic Coast Conference). DeAndre Hopkins caught 11 passes for 197 yards for the Tigers, who bounced back after blowing a two-touchdown lead and losing 49-37 to No. 4 Florida State last week. Andre Ellington ran 25 times for 132 yards and a touchdown for Clemson.

Chase Rettig, who entered the day as the leading passer in the ACC, completed 25 of 43 passes for 341 yards and three touchdowns. Alex Amdion caught eight passes for 193 yards and two touchdowns for the Eagles (1-3, 0-2), who led 2117 before giving up three straight touchdowns to fall behind 38-21. No. 24 Boise State 32, New Mexico 29 ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Joe Southwick passed for 311 yards and three touchdowns and Timmy Smith knocked down a fourthdown pass with two minutes to go for Boise State. Boise State (3-1, 1-0) led

by 25 points at half time after turning three Lobos’ fumbles into 18 points. New Mexico (2-3, 0-1) turned two Broncos’ secondhalf fumbles into touchdowns to help close the gap. The Lobos did not throw a pass in the second half until its final play, but baffled the Broncos with their tripleoption offense. Jay Ajayi had 118 yards and a touchdown on six carries for Boise State. New Mexico quarterback Cole Gautsche scored twice and added a 2-point conversion, carrying it 71 yards on 11 carries. Kasey Carrier added 86 yards on 18 carries with a touchdown.

Buckeyes

UC beats Va. Tech in wild finish, 27-24

■ CONTINUED FROM A10 State 17-16 on Saturday. Miller put Ohio State ahead 17-13 with a 63-yard touchdown pass to Devin Smith in the third quarter, and the Buckeyes’ maligned defense held Le’Veon Bell and the Michigan State running game in check. Meyer becomes the third coach to start 5-0 in his first season at Ohio State. Carol Widdoes and Earle Bruce also did it in 1944 and 1979. Michigan State (3-2, 0-1) has lost four home games in a row against Ohio State. The Buckeyes (5-0, 1-0) aren’t eligible to win the Big Ten title because of sanctions, but they handed the Spartans an early loss. Michigan State took a 1310 advantage in the third on a terrific individual effort by Keith Mumphery. With the ball on the Ohio State 29 after a personal foul call on the Buckeyes, Mumphery took Andrew Maxwell’s short pass and eluded four tacklers before dragging a couple more Buckeyes into the end zone. The lead didn’t last long. Miller managed to pick up a first down, just barely, with a run on third-and-1, then lofted a deep pass on the next play to Smith, who beat Johnny Adams along the right sideline to put Ohio State ahead to stay. Miller turned the ball over three times in Michigan State territory, including a fumble early in the fourth but the Buckeyes actually caught a break on that play. The ball bounced right to Kurtis Drummond of the Spartans, who began

Saturday. running down the right sideline before the play was blown dead and Miller was ruled down. The call was reversed after a review, giving Michigan State the ball at its own 32 but the Buckeyes were saved from a big return that would almost surely have followed if the call had been correct to begin with. The Buckeyes then appeared to have stopped the Spartans when Maxwell underthrew a pass on fourth-and-1 from the Ohio State 44, but Travis Howard was called for defensive holding on the opposite side of the field, keeping the drive alive. Dan Conroy’s 48-yard field goal pulled Michigan State within a point with 7:07 remaining. Miller remained down holding his left knee after

his fumble but was able to come back the next time Ohio State had the ball. The Spartans forced a three-andout anyway and took over at their own 20 with 5:39 left, down 17-16. They could manage only one first down before having to punt, and they never got the ball back. Miller was 16 of 23 with an interception. Maxwell went 22 of 42 for 269 yards. “Braxton Miller is a very exciting player,” Michigan State coach Mark Dantonio said. “We knew that coming into the game. He took a lot of bad plays and made them good ones. … I thought Maxwell played well enough to win. He threw the ball very effectively.” Bell came in with 610 yards on 117 carries, but he ran for only 45 yards against Ohio State. The Buckeyes’ defense was ranked last in

the Big Ten before the game. “A great team win,” Meyer said. “We found out something about our team today, to go on the road in a hostile environment against a quality, quality football team and find a way to win.” Ohio State drove 75 yards in eight plays to open the game, taking a 7-0 lead on Jordan Hall’s 1-yard scoring run. Miller had runs of 20 and 13 yards on the drive, but he was hit along the sideline at the end of the latter one and was shaken up. He had to leave the game but was back for his team’s next possession. The Spartans answered immediately with a 34-yard field goal by Conroy, and that was all the scoring for the half. Miller threw an interception and lost a fumble in second quarter, but Conroy missed a 42-yard attempt in the final minute.

Poulter keeps Cup close

Reds fall in 9th

MEDINAH, Ill. (AP) — Phil Mickelson and Keegan Bradley helped stake the Americans to their biggest lead in the Ryder Cup in more than 30 years. Ian Poulter, eyes bulging and fists shaking with every clutch putt, at least gave Europe some big momentum over the final frantic hour Saturday at Medinah. Right when it looked as if the Americans were a lock to win back the cup, Poulter birdied his last five holes to win a crucial point and keep everyone guessing. Steady chants of “USA! USA!” gave way to snappy serenades of “Ole, Ole” as both sides trudged to the team rooms in darkness to prepare for 12 singles matches on Sunday. The Americans still had a big lead, 10-6. Europe at least had hope. “The last two putts were massive,” European captain Jose Maria Olazabal said after watching Poulter stay undefeated in this Ryder Cup by rolling in one last birdie putt from 12 feet. “That gives us a chance. It’s been done before in the past. Tomorrow is a big day.” Only one team has ever rallied from four points behind on the final day the United States in that famous comeback at Brookline in 1999. Olazabal remembers it well. He was in the decisive match when Justin Leonard rolled in a 45-foot birdie putt on the 17th hole.

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Andrew McCutchen hit a solo home run off Jonathan Broxton with one out in the ninth inning, lifting the Pittsburgh Pirates over the Cincinnati Reds 2-1 Saturday night. A day after getting nohit by Cincinnati’s Homer Bailey, the Pirates won with eight hits. McCutchen’s 31st homer helped Pittsburgh keep a record 20th consecutive losing season at bay for at least a day. The AllStar hit a 2-2 fastball from Broxton (4-4) a couple rows deep in right-center before getting mobbed at home plate by his teammates. Joel Hanrahan (5-1) worked out of a two-on, two-out jam in the ninth, setting the stage for McCutchen. Pedro Alvarez had two hits for the Pirates, who won for just the seventh time this month. Cincinnati, trying to keep pace with the Washington Nationals in the race for the National League’s best record, again struggled to score runs. The Reds wrapped up the NL Central earlier in the week but have now scored just five times in their last four games. A lone run on Friday was more than enough to preserve Bailey’s gem, and a game-tying single in the eighth by Scott Rolen on

Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Mike Leake (44) delivers during the first inning against the Pittsburgh Pirates in Pittsburgh Saturday. Saturday appeared to the Reds life. The Pirates loaded the bases in the bottom of the inning off Cincinnati reliever Logan Ondrusek, but Starling Marte popped out harmlessly in foul territory. Hanrahan came on in a rare non-save situation and worked around a couple of walks to get to the bottom of the ninth. Josh Harrison lined sharply to center to lead off the inning and McCutchen smacked a Broxton offering into the stands to help the Pirates improve to 77-81. Pittsburgh needs to win its final four games to avoid extending the longest losing season

streak in North American professional sports history, and the Pirates’ seventh walk-off win of the season improved their record to just 14-34 since Aug. 8. Back then Pittsburgh was trying to track down the Reds for the division lead. The bottom fell out shortly thereafter and getting no-hit for the first time on Friday night provided an ugly exclamation point on a collapse that turned a once-promising season into one that would end without a winning record for the 20th straight time. While the Reds focus on the playoffs, Pittsburgh is already working on next season.

LANDOVER, Md. — Munchie Legaux hit Damon Julian for a 39yard touchdown pass with 13 seconds to play, and Cincinnati beat Virginia Tech 27-24 Saturday. Trailing by four after a Hokies touchdown, the Bearcats (3-0) took over at their own 15 with 1:43 to play and moved downfield in nine plays for the score. Cincinnati dominated in every way but the scoreboard, piling on the yards all game, and managed to finally escape with the win. Legaux completed 19 of 42 passes for a career-high 376 yards with three touchdowns and one interception. Kenbrell Thompkins also set career highs for Cincinnati with seven catches for 134 yards and a score. Manchester 24, Bluffton 14 BLUFFTON — Bluffton played host to Manchester and was unable to rally, falling 2414 on Saturday. Manchester took a 14-0 lead before Troy High School graduate Tyler Wright threw a 30-yard touchdown pass to cut the lead to 14-7. Wright then threw a 72-yard touchdown pass to even the score. A field goal and interception return for a touchdown gave Manchester the victory. Wright was 17 for 23 passing for 236 yards, two touchdowns and an interception. Another Troy High School graduate, Nick Smith, also started for Bluffton. Smith started at defensive end and had four tackles. Butler 21, Dayton 11 INDIANAPOLIS — Trae Heeter ran for 159 yards, most of it on two long touchdown runs, and Butler defeated Dayton 2111 on Saturday. Matt Lancaster threw for 170 yards for Butler. Rob Washington scored the only touchdown for Dayton (1-4, 0-2), on a 13-yard run, and finished with 63 yards on 12 carries. Will Bardo threw for 255 yards and ran for a 2-point conversion for the Flyers. Lehman graduate Dan Jacob had 47 yards on 13 carries and a seven-yard recepetion for the Flyers. Tippecanoe graduate Kyle Pignatiello was the Flyers’ punter and he had six punts with a 39.5 yard average and a long on 49 yards. W.V. Wesleyan 33, Urbana 21 BUCKHANNON, West Virginia — Urbana University was unable to mount a comeback as they lost their second straight road match in a 33-21 loss to West Virginia Wesleyan on Saturday. A touchdown by Nate Wilburn-Ogletree made it a 20-14 game going into the fourth quarter. With a chance to take the lead, Urbana quarterback D.J. Mendenhall threw an interception which put the game out of reach for the Blue Knights. Urbana (3-2) will travel

to Kentucky Wesleyan College next week. Milton-Union High School graduate Kyle Wallace started at center for Urbana. Lehman High School graduate Rodney Huston started at defensive tackle and recorded two tackles for Urbana. Kutztown 56, Slippery Rock 49 SLIPPERY ROCK, Pa. — Kutztown won an offensive shootout with Slippery Rock Saturday night, holding on for a 56-49 victory. Milton-Union High School graduate Kurt Brackman was 5 for 6 on extra points and missed a 44-yard field goal attempt in the first quarter for Slippery Rock. Ohio 37, UMass 34 FOXBORO, Mass. — Beau Blankenship carried 43 times for 269 yards and three touchdowns to lead unbeaten Ohio to a 37-34 victory Saturday over winless Massachusetts in a Mid-American Conference thriller. The Bobcats, 5-0 for the first time since 1968 and playing their conference opener, trailed UMass (0-5, 0-2) 27-20 entering the fourth quarter. Ohio then scored 17 straight points before UMass quarterback Mike Wegzyn hit Alan Williams on an 11-yard touchdown. It was the last of four touchdown passes for Wegzyn, who completed 27 of 51 passes for 373 yards. But UMass got no closer. Kent State 45, Ball State 43 KENT — Kent State’s Freddy Cortez kicked the winning 25-yard field goal with 6 seconds left in the game to lift Kent State to 45-43 victory against Ball State on Saturday. Spencer Keith passed for 295 yards and three touchdowns for Kent State (3-1, 2-0 Mid-American Conference), two of them to Dri Archer, who also returned a kickoff 99 yards for a touchdown. He caught only three passes, but they totaled 104 yards. Miami (Ohio) 56, Akron 49 AKRON — Zac Dysert threw 6 touchdown passes, had 624 total yards and the Miami (Ohio) defense grabbed the only turnover of the game in the final play to seal a wild 56-49 win over Akron Saturday. Dysert handed off to Justin Semmes for the game-winner for the RedHawks (3-2, 2-0 MidAmerican Conference) a 3yard TD run with 1:04 remaining. But the Zips (14, 0-1) got the ball back one final time, moving to the Miami 38-yard line to set up one final heave. Zips quarterback Dalton Williams tossed it toward the end zone, where Brison Burris intercepted at the 1yard line to end it. Bowling Green 48, Rhode Island 8 BOWLING GREEN — Anthon Samuel ran for a career-high three touchdowns and Matt Schilz threw for two more, as Bowling Green throttled winless Rhode Island 48-8 on Saturday.

New Orleans papers in fight for print readers NEW ORLEANS (AP) — When The TimesPicayune decided to print three days a week, a nearby publication saw a chance to expand in the newspaper’s backyard and fill a void that for some in the New Orleans area is as much a part of the morning routine as beignets and French coffee. The Advocate of Baton Rouge, a family-owned daily published 70 miles north, will begin a daily New Orleans edition Monday, setting up an oldfashioned newspaper war. The battle for print readers comes even as more people get their news online and from cellphones generally from newspaper websites and more news media share stories to save money. The experiment will be closely watched by an industry that has struggled in recent years as print advertising declined during the recession. Locally, readers will decide whether they still want The Times-Picayune, a Pulitzer-winning, 175year-old New Orleans icon that will print every Wednesday, Friday and Sunday. At the Morning Call coffee shop in the New Orleans suburb of Metairie, manhandled sections of The Times-Picayune littered the chairs recently as Louis Gomez, 77, and three friends sipped cafe au lait. Wireless Internet was available, but the printed

As The TimesPicayune scales back its print edition to three days a week, the Baton Rouge newspaper is starting its own daily edition to try to fill the void.The move by The Advocate sets up an old-fashioned newspaper competition, even as more and more people get their news online and from cellphones. newspaper was the medium of choice. “I will get The Advocate,” Gomez said. “I will quit the Picayune.” Other people in this tradition-bound city don’t want to lose the Picayune, as most locals call it. Hundreds of people have rallied against the changes, and elected officials and community leaders have been quick to criticize. Some people even embarked on a futile cam-

paign to get the paper’s owner to sell it. The Picayune has had a stranglehold on print news for decades, consolidating other dailies under its banner. The newspaper named after a Spanish colonial coin worth about 6 cents has had its finger tightly on the pulse of the people and events. Its coverage of hurricanes such as Betsy and Katrina, the New Orleans Saints, the entertainment, political corruption and ties

to the Mississippi River all forged tight bonds with readers. The Advocate’s challenge entering the city is the first by a major daily newspaper in New Orleans in more than 50 years. The Advocate has built its reputation on accountability reporting in state government and coverage of Louisiana State University, particularly school sports. Both newspapers have steadily shifted to online

“We’ve always got to strive to be the best we can be.” Nola Media is telling readers the print edition will be familiar, complete and even better. Prototype pages included an expanded opinion section and color comics for the Wednesday edition, which will carry three days’ worth of comics and crossword puzzles. Editor Jim Amoss, who oversaw a news operation that won four Pulitzers, said there will be plenty of news. “Reduction is something of a misnomer,” Amoss said. “Yes, we’re reducing frequency of printing, but the three editions that we will be printing will hold their own in news hole and amount of content against what is now distributed over seven days.” Even after recent layoffs, including more than 70 from the newsroom, Amoss said the new operation is employing 156 people to gather and disseminate news. The Advocate hopes to grow its print audience by 20,000 in the New Orleans area. Currently, they sell about 400 papers a day there. Publisher David Manship said 10,000 free copies were being distributed this week. “I will be able to give the people of New Orleans, on a daily basis, news from around the state and around the world and from New Orleans,” he said.

news. In June, The TimesPicayune’s owner, privately held Advance Publications Inc., and a new subsidiary, Nola Media Group, announced the paper would lay off 200 employees and shift its focus to the free website Nola.com. Advance is pursuing similar threetimes-a-week strategies with several other newspapers in the chain, including publications in Michigan, Alabama and Pennsylvania. Edward Atorino, a media industry analyst at Benchmark Co., said other newspapers in major metropolitan markets will closely watch The TimesPicayune’s experiment. “The day of the sevenday newspaper is fading,” he said. “This has been a long, deteriorating situation. It’s not a shock, and we’re going to see more of it.” Atorino said total print advertising dollars in the United States dropped from roughly $23 billion in 2008 to $19 billion in 2011. While The Advocate takes steps into the New Orleans market, Nola Media is planning to strike back. The company said it will expand its operations in The Advocate’s home turf and offer a customized version of Nola.com for Baton Rouge residents. “There are a lot of competitors in the market,” new Times-Picayune publisher Ricky Mathews said.

Hey dieters, do you want some taste with that ice cream? NEW YORK (AP) Nonfat cheese that tastes like plastic. Low-calorie soda that leaves a bitter aftertaste. Sugar-free brownies that crumble like Styrofoam. Dieters have learned an important lesson: When you take the fat and calories out of your favorite treats, you sometimes have to say goodbye to the taste too. But snack brands like Dreyer’s/Edy’s ice cream, Hershey’s chocolate and Lay’s potato chips are trying to solve this age-old dieter’s dilemma by rolling out so-mid-calorie goodies that have more fat and calories than the snacks of earlier diet crazes but less than the original versions. They’re following the lead of soda companies like Pepsi and Dr Pepper that introduced mid-calorie drinks last year. It’s hard to isolate sales of mid-calorie snacks since they also usually have reduced fat, or other healthy attributes like

But sales of all foods and drinks in which the amount of things like fat, sugar, salt, carbohydrates have been actively reduced during production have risen 16 percent to $51.72 billion since 2006, according to research firm Euromonitor International. The mid-calorie trend is hitting at a time when companies that make sugary and salty treats are being

blamed for the country’s expanding waistlines. The problem is that the same things that make snacks taste good sugar, salt, calories also make them fattening. And many Americans don’t want to sacrifice taste at snack time. Shaving a few calories enables companies to market their cakes, cookies and chips as healthier without the stigma of bad taste that goes along with some low-fat products. It’s just the kind of marketing that might attract Monica Olivas. She says she wants to lead a healthy lifestyle, including curbing her fat and caloric intake as much as possible. But most low-fat foods just don’t appeal to her. “Sometimes companies go too far and take out all the fat and all the flavor,” says Olivas, a 29-year-old recruiter from Pico Rivera, Calif. The mid-calorie trend is a toned-down version of the “light” craze that started in the 1990s. Back then, “low

fat” or “no fat” was all the rage. But the products often fizzled. instance, For McDonald’s rolled out the McLean Deluxe, a low-fat burger, in 1991. But the burger, which was in part made with seaweed, had dismal sales. It disappeared from restaurants within five years. Similarly, Lay’s in 1998 introduced Wow fat-free potato chips that use fat substitute Olestra. But the ick factor trumped healthiness when the Food and Drug Administration said the chips had to come with a warning that Olestra may cause abdominal cramping, loose stools, and that it inhibits the absorption of some vitamins and other nutrients. The FDA dropped the requirement for the label in 2004 after studying the matter. The chips were renamed “Light,” but sales have not recovered. “Originally, a lot of the diet stuff just wasn’t good,” says Richard George, chair

professor of nutritional sciences at Cornell University. He says “if you typically have a 200-calorie cookie and you have a 160-calorie cookie instead” it won’t make you hungrier at the next meal. And since obesity can be caused by as few as 20 excess calories a day, Levitsky says cutting a few at each meal makes a big difference. But in order for that to work you have to eat the snacks in moderation. It becomes a problem when people overestimate how much more they can eat of nonfat ice cream or lowcalorie chips, says Kelly Brownell, a nutritionist at Yale University. “If consumption of ice cream and potato chips does not increase and people eat somewhat better versions, the outcome will be good,” Brownell says. First, companies have to convince dieters that their mid-calorie snacks are not only healthy, but tasty too.

of the department of food marketing at Saint Joseph’s University in “People Philadelphia. would say you could throw away contents and eat the box. But they’ve gotten better.” The new era of diet food started in the last decade. In 2007, companies began offering 100-calorie packs of popular snacks like Oreos cookies and Twinkies cakes. That’s when brands started putting their focus on reducing calories without any flavor change. Turns out, there’s some science behind all this calorie slashing. Nutritionists say it’s not necessary to cut out all the “junk” foods in your cupboard or to take all the fat or calories out of them. Reducing a nominal number of calories in your diet each day even from that morning coffee run or afternoon visit to the vending machine for chips is an effective way to battle obesity, says David Levitsky,

TODAY IN HISTORY (AP) — Today is Sunday, Sept. 30, the 274th day of 2012. There are 92 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Sept. 30, 1962, James Meredith, a black student, was escorted by federal marshals to the campus of the University of Mississippi, where he enrolled for classes the next day; Meredith’s presence sparked rioting that claimed two lives. In an address to the nation,

President John F. Kennedy expressed hope that the school, the state of Mississippi and the nation would “return to their normal activities with full confidence in the integrity of American law.” On this date: In 1846, Boston dentist William Morton used ether as an anesthetic for the first time as he extracted an ulcerated tooth from merchant Eben Frost. In 1954, the first nuclearpowered submarine, the USS

Nautilus, was commissioned by the Navy. In 1955, actor James Dean, 24, was killed in a two-car collision near Cholame, Calif. In 1982, the situation comedy “Cheers” premiered on NBCTV. Ten years ago: New Jersey Senator Robert Torricelli abruptly ended his scandal-tainted reelection campaign just five weeks before the election, leaving Democrats scrambling for a replacement candidate.

Libyan civilians turn in weapons to security forces in Benghazi, Libya, Saturday. Hundreds of Libyans have converged on a main square in Benghazi in response to a call from the military to hand over their weapons, some driving in with armored personnel carriers, vehicles with mounted anti-aircraft guns and hundreds of rocket launchers.

BENGHAZI, Libya (AP) —Hundreds of Libyans converged Saturday on a main square in Benghazi and another in Tripoli in response to a call from the military to hand over their weapons, some driving in with armored personnel carriers, tanks, vehicles with mounted anti-aircraft guns and hundreds of rocket launchers. The call by the Libyan chiefs of staff was promoted on a private TV station in August. But it may have gained traction in the wake of the attack against the U.S. consulate in Benghazi in which the American ambassador and three staffers were killed. The incident was followed by a popular uproar against armed militias which have increasingly challenged government authorities.

In response, the government has called on all militias to disband or join a command center coordinating between the army and the militias. The government had relied on many militias for security during the turmoil following last year’s ouster and killing of longtime leader Moammar Gadhafi. Army Col. Omran alWarfali said the turnout has been impressive. “Hundreds of citizens came since the early hours of this morning to handover their weapons from all segments of society, men and youth, women, and even children came to hand over bullets they found it in the streets,” he said. Previously, the government had estimated that over 200,000 people in Libya are armed. It has

attempted a number of disarmament schemes, including offering people jobs in exchange for handing over their weapons, or offering to buy guns. Those offers have shown few results. A military official has been urging citizens in ads on a popular TV station to hand in their weapons. The station, Libya alHurra or Free Libya, showed live footage of Saturday’s collection and transfer of weapons to military barracks. Ahmed Salem, an organizer of the efforts in Benghazi, said over 800 citizens handed in weapons at the main collection point. Over 600 different types of arms were collected, including anti-aircraft guns, land mines, rocket launchers and artillery rockets.

Sights, smells and tastes of 16th Century England come to life at annual Ohio Renaissance Festival

STORY AND PHOTOS BY JIM DAVIS Staff Writer davis@tdnpublishing.com ou don’t have to bow if you encounter the queen at the Ohio Renaissance Festival … but it couldn’t hurt. She rules the place, after all. Whether or not you cross paths with Her Majesty, the 23rd annual festival in Harveysburg offers a chance to experience Old England at a 30-acre permanent village, where visitors can take in the sights, smells and tastes of 16th century England without having to cross an ocean. The festival kicked off Labor Day weekend and runs each Saturday and Sunday through Oct. 21. Renaissance Festival General Manager Cheryl Bucholtz said pleasant summer/autumn weather has helped make this year’s run a hit. “We are having gorgeous weather. The crowds have been great, the people have been playful and people really seem to be having a great time,” she said. “The festival is so dependent on the weather … and we have definitely lucked out.” Each weekend of the festival follows a unique theme, with Highland Weekend (Oct. 6-7); Oktoberfest (Oct. 13-14) and Holiday Marketplace Weekend (Oct. 20-21) slated to wrap up the festival’s eightweek run. “We’ll have the traditional highland games (next weekend), and we’ll have the pipe band back to lead the parade and play at a few different places around the site,” Bucholtz said. “We’ll have the Tartan Parade around the village — it’s a good time — and there will be some Scottish dancing as well.” “Then we’ll go full force into Oktoberfest weekend (Oct. 13-14). We haven’t done it in a few years, and we decided to bring it back this year,” she continued. “It’s our own version of Oktoberfest. We’ll focus more on the food and the beer from a 1572 English perspective. We’ll do some fun things for the kids … and some toasting contests for the adults. It will be a lot of fun.” The festival will conclude Oct. 20-21

with its Holiday Marketplace Weekend. “It’s your last chance to come out and enjoy the renaissance festival for 2012. It’s the last weekend that you can see the shows, eat a turkey leg and have a frothy ale,” Bucholtz said. “We market it as kind of a holiday marketplace, where you can do some Christmas shopping a little early.” Several familiar entertainment acts are back again this year — including

The Swordsmen, The Mudde Show, the Pirate Comedy Stunt Show and The Adventures of Robin Hood — while a variety of interactive games await patrons of all ages, such as archery, a climbing tower and “Vegetable Vengeance.” More than 130 artisans will be on the festival grounds selling their wares — ranging from a blacksmith and glassblower to stone carvers and sculptors — several of whom will be demon-

strating their trades for patrons. Festival hours are 10:30 a.m. until 6 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays through Oct. 21, with a special closing ceremony at the gate each day. And don’t forget to wave to the queen on your way out.

NATURAL WANDERS

October dazzles with all its delights October arrives tomorrow. The first full month of autumn. When it comes to show-stopping dazzle, the most spectacular one of the entire year. No month does pure seasonal razzmatazz better than October! Calendar designers never lack for colorful autumnal images to illustrate their printed wares. I’d venture to bet there are more landscape photos taken during October than during any other month of the year. I certainly can’t refrain from doing my best to digitally capture the picturesque fall scenes — big and small — that present themselves along every country road, woodland trail, lakeshore or stream bank — even my own backyard. From meadow grass to maple leaf, in prairies fields and city parks, practically every living plant has been relieved from its familiar green chlorophyll mask and given a Technicolor transformation — gold and red, amethyst and coral and lemon — the whole vegetative world all suddenly made new and irresistibly photogenic. But October serves up more than just kaleidoscopic leaves — there are flawless blue skies, deep, intense, which stretch

from horizon to horizon and provide a perfect backdrop to the patchwork pageantry of changing leaves. There are also sunsets and sunrises so breath-taking even the gaudiest leaf panorama has trouble competing. Enough of the visuals, you say — how about the fishing? I’d rate it Tony-the-Tiger Gr-r-r-reat! Arguably the best of the year … and unreservedly my favorite month for stream smallmouth. “As the leaves come down, the fishing heats up!” my old angling pal and fellow bronzeback addict Frank Snare used to declare. Frank would begin looking forward to October about the time the spring action started to slow down around the end of

May. “We’ll get some fish this summer,” he’d say, as June waned and the heat of July and August loomed, “providing we hang around on the creek until twilight sets in and the bass go on the prowl. But come October … they’ll be feeding from daylight clear through till dark — fat and sassy, too!” Seven-plus decades of wading Ohio’s best smallmouth waters had taught him when to expect the season’s peak action. I might have been a couple decades short on matching his experience — but I’d long ago learned the same truth. And I expect there were days, when streams ran warm as bathwater, and not a fish had graced our lures for hours, that the only thing keeping us from stowing our gear away for the year was the anticipated certainty of October’s bass bonanza. Largemouth, too, are on the feed this month. Along with bluegill, catfish and just about any other species you can name. October is primetime for crappie, plus their flesh is sweeter and firmer than fish caught in the spring. Nope, if you’re a fisherman, you simply can’t overlook October. Of course October is hunting

time, too. October’s full moon is the Hunter’s Moon. Squirrel, ruffed grouse, archery deer, wild turkey, mourning dove, woodcock, ducks, geese and brant, along with such esoterics as Virginia and sora rails, gallinule and common snipe are all in season at least part of the time during the month — though hunting dates for migratory birds classified as federally regulated may also be zone dependant. You don’t need a shotgun or hunting license to go foraging, and October is a dandy month for filling your tote sack with wild eats. Pawpaws should still be available the first couple weeks. On my personal hierarchy of scavenged goodies, these tasty treats are right up there with springtime morels and dandelion greens for deliciousness. October is also persimmon time. A good frost will turn them from puckery to luscioussweet. The latter half of the month is usually best, though you’ll have to beat the possums to the tree. Now is also the time to bring home a bushel or two of walnuts — or maybe three or four if you want to share some with the squirrels. It takes a

bit of work to remove the messy hulls, crack the hard inner nut and extract the large, sweet kernels … but nothing can beat their distinctive, oldtimey flavor — especially if toasted a bit and added to cakes, muffins, breads and candies. They’re excellent for eating “straight,” too. If you can find them, butternuts are especially delectable. And when I was a kid, we always picked up a supply of hickory nuts, which — though smaller — are fairly easy to deal with and yield a flavorful nutmeat for baking and eating. This is by no means a complete list of October’s free-forthe-gathering wild edibles. I could easily increase the roll fourfold, without pondering — and a savvy wild forager could probably name several times that many items. October, you see, is a treasure — rich, bounteous, and achingly beautiful, offering incredible leaf color, good eats, awesome skies, top-notch angling — and more. So breathe deeply of its refreshing air, enjoy its bounty — because all too soon those frightful jack-o’-lanterns will have their night … and October won’t return for another year.

Staying sharp as you age, step by step BY SALLY ANDERSON Tampa Bay Times

2321022

Are you fearful that your cognitive powers are spiraling out of control as a result of the aging process? While it is true that cognitive decline begins a slow, gradual descent around age 45, this decline is not always an inevitable result of the aging process. And having fleeting but frustrating moments when you cannot remember where your glasses are or recall the name of someone you haven’t seen for a while does not mean you are destined for serious memory issues. Major memory loss is generally caused by organic disorders, brain injuries or neurological issues. Good news for senior moments. Fortunately, when it comes to increasing learning and memory skills, research confirms that there are many ways we can sharpen our minds and actually improve memory as we age. • Tips for improving memory Use it or lose it It is believed exercises that stimulate the brain such as reading, traveling, card games, memory games, musical instruments — even changing your daily routine around — help stimulate the hippocampus, the part of the brain most responsible for memory. It is also a good idea to challenge the brain by introducing new activities that you have never done before.

BRAIN FACTS Here are a few interesting facts from “100 Fascinating Facts You Never Knew About the Human Brain” (nursingassistantcentral.com): • The average brain weighs approximately 3 pounds and has about 100 billion neurons. • We are continually developing new neurons throughout our lives if we stimulate our brain though mental activity. • The brain is 75 percent water and uses about 20 Hip and lower back stretch demonstrated by Sherri percent of our oxygen when we are at rest. Burke. • The human brain is the fattest organ in the body and may consist of at least 60 percent fat. • The brain stops growing at age 18. • The average number of thoughts that humans are believed to experience each day is 70,000.

Get movin’ Regardless of what part of the body you want to strengthen, you need to follow the “use it or lose it” principle. When you begin to exercise, muscles will use oxygen at a significantly high-

er rate, increasing blood flow throughout the body, including the memorybrain area. Just as exercise helps to keep arteries to the heart open, exercise will do the same for blood vessels in the brain. Even exercising in small doses can help sharpen your memory, but it is important for memory enhancement that the exercising be consistent.

Hip rotator stretch demonstrated by Sherri Burke. Some studies indicate that regular exercise workouts can even reverse aging in the brain. Friendships and fun Maintaining a strong support system by interacting with friends, whether by phone or in person, can stimulate the brain. In a recent study from the Harvard School of Public Health, researchers found that people with the most active social lives had the slowest rate of memory decline. And if friends aren’t readily available, don’t forget the friendship and love of a pet. They both come with cognitive benefits. Adequate sleep While occasional bouts of insomnia are generally nothing to be concerned about, chronic sleep deprivation can negatively affect memory recall. If you have trouble sleeping, you might want to try listening to a progressive muscle-relaxation tape. Amazon.com has a variety of tapes available. De-stress Chronic stress (activating the stress hormone cortisol) is a major contributor to memory loss. Because we cannot totally void our lives of stress, it would be better to think in terms of stress management rather

than stress elimination. Introducing relaxation techniques such as relaxation breathing into your daily living can help to defuse the biochemical and physiological reaction to the pending stress: Inhale deeply through your nose to a count of four, hold your breath for several seconds, then exhale through the mouth, taking twice as long (eight seconds). Don’t forget to laugh — a great stress reliever! And learn to say no before taking on added responsibilities when your plate is already full. Hydrate Drink before you are thirsty. Even a slight amount of dehydration can reduce mental energy resulting in memory impairment. It is recommended you drink 48 to 64 ounces — or six to eight 8-ounce glasses — of water daily. Brain-boosting foods Fish rich in omega-3 fatty acids are salmon, trout, tuna, halibut, sardines, mackerel and herring. Nonfish sources include walnuts, pumpkin seeds and soybeans. Brightly colored fruits and veggies provide antioxidants, which play a major role in improving memory

function. Foods rich in folic acid are spinach, kale, collards, asparagus, black beans and romaine lettuce. The Alzheimer’s Society recommends eggs to improve memory. They have vitamins important for nourishing the memory center in your brain. • Exercises Hip rotator stretch Stretches outer muscles of hips and thighs. Lying on a mat, bend knees, feet flat on floor. Keeping knees together and shoulders on floor, slowly lower knees to one side, as far as you can without forcing them; turn head in opposite direction. Hold position for 10-15 seconds. Hip and lower back stretch On hands and knees, abdominals contracted to support back, extend one leg diagonally to the back. Standing side stretch Standing tall, left ankle crossed over right ankle, hold onto a support with left hand. Inhale as you lean away from support, exhaling as you take opposite arm over to center of head. The Saw (Pilates) Stretches sides of back, hips and hamstrings.

Student debt stretches to 1 in 5 households WASHINGTON (AP) —With college enrollment growing, student debt has stretched to a record number of U.S. households nearly 1 in 5 with the biggest burdens falling on the young and poor. The analysis by the Pew Research Center found that 22.4 million households, or 19 percent, had college debt in 2010. That is double the share in 1989, and up from 15 percent in 2007, just prior to the recession representing the biggest three-year increase in student debt in more than two decades. The increase was driven by higher tuition costs as well as rising college enrollment during the economic downturn. The biggest jumps occurred in households at the two extremes of the income distribution. More well-off families are digging deeper into their pockets to pay for costly private colleges, while lower-income people in search of higherwage jobs are enrolling in community colleges, public universities and other schools as a way to boost their resumes. Because of the sluggish economy, fewer college students than before are able to settle into fulltime careers immediately upon graduation, contributing to a jump in debt among lower-income households as the young adults take on part-time jobs or attend graduate school, according to Pew. As a share of household income, the debt burden was the greatest for the poorest 20 percent of households, or those making less than $21,044. In all, 40 percent of U.S. households headed by

someone younger than age 35 owed college debt, the highest share of any age group. “Comparing the debt to their economic resources, the lowest-income fifth of households are the ones

experiencing the greatest stresses,” said Richard Fry, a senior economist at Pew who analyzed the numbers. Noting that college enrollment has continued to climb since 2010, Fry

added: “Until college enrollment peaks, I would not expect the amount of outstanding student debt to level off.” The study released Wednesday is based on the Survey of Consumer

Finances, conducted every three years and sponsored by the Federal Reserve. The numbers are as of 2010, the latest available for that survey. Separate Fed data have pointed to subsequent increases in

student loans since 2010 that totaled $914 billion in the April-June quarter, but don’t provide demographic breakdowns on who shoulders the biggest burdens. Both President Barack Obama and his Republican challenger in this year’s election, Mitt Romney, have been seeking to court young voters with differing visions on how to address rising tuition and growing college debt. Obama wants to make tax credits for college expenses permanent and expand Pell grants for lower-earning families. Romney says that making government the direct source of federal student loans has not worked and simply drives tuition higher. He stresses the need to curb college costs. The Pew report found that the richest 20 percent of households, or those with annual income of $97,586 or higher, owed the biggest share of outstanding student debt 31 percent, up from 28 percent in 2007. The poorest 20 percent of households also saw their debt grow, to 13 percent from 11 percent. The richest households saw significant increases in per-household debt. For those with annual income of $97,586 to $146,791, college debt rose from $25,921 in 2007 to $31,989. For the richest 10 percent, making at least $146,792, college debt increased from $36,033 to $44,810. Across all households, the average outstanding college debt increased from $23,349 to $26,682. For the poorest 20 percent of households, the average debt rose from $19,018 to $20,640.

In this Sept. 11 photo, Jim Ponce leads a group of visitors on a tour of The Breakers Hotel in Palm Beach, Fla. No place in this storied playground of the rich evokes as much history as The Breakers and no one knows the sprawling resort’s story better than Ponce.

Historian brings landmark to life PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) No place in this storied playground of the rich evokes as much history as The Breakers and no one knows the sprawling resort’s story better than Jim Ponce. Sixty years after first coming to work as a front-desk clerk at the hotel, 95-year-old Ponce still serves as the inhouse historian, showing up every Tuesday to offer a tour to guests. He dresses in period clothes, this day most notable for a red blazer, Panama hat and brass-handled ebony walking stick. And from the frescoed ceilings to the terrazzo floors, the 15th-century tapestries to the Roman arches, he guides visitors through one of America’s most celebrated hotels. He’s spent so much time here, he admits it’s as if his own history is entwined with that of the property. “It certainly isn’t just a hotel to me,” he said. As he guides several dozen guests through the ballrooms, parlors and hallways of The Breakers, Ponce offers more than just staid commentary on gilded ceilings, Venetian chandeliers and other tokens of excess. He tells of the gasp he heard when Princess Diana and Prince Charles entered the Mediterranean Ballroom for a dance in 1985, brushes with everyone from Bette Davis to Eleanor Roosevelt, even splitting a bottle of Moet & Chandon with Phyllis Diller. “We love to drop names,” Ponce said. The Breakers was first opened under a different name in 1896 by Henry Flagler, the oil and rail tycoon who developed much of Florida’s eastern coast. Flagler’s name is invoked throughout the tour and Ponce pays a quiet tribute as he passes his portrait. “The man himself,” he says softly, with a wisp of Southern drawl. The Breakers twice burned to the ground, in 1903 and 1925. Ponce tells his roughly 30 visitors this day that the latter fire was blamed on the wife of the then-mayor of Chicago, who left a curling iron plugged in at the resort. “Chicago girls are noted for that sort of thing,” he says to laughter. Ponce tells of hearing the heartbreaking news of the fire as a boy, but The Breakers was rebuilt in stunning fashion, in just under a year. His own history at the hotel began in 1952, after finishing World War II service in the Navy. He held various jobs at The Breakers and hotels around Palm Beach until returning in 1977 as an assistant manager.

He retired in 1982, but never really left. He vows to keep coming as long as his health allows. “He has perspective that none of us have,” said Kirk Bell, the hotel’s manager. “He has a history of the people that have come and gone royalty, presidents, movie stars, people in all walks of life.” Ask Ponce any question and he musters an answer. But ask him his favorite spot on the property’s 140 acres, and he has trouble picking. “It’s so classically beautiful that it’s hard to say,” he said. He knows what budget hotels are like; he spent some time as a Holiday Inn manager. And he knows luxury, too, rattling off the names of The Jefferson, The Greenbrier, The Homestead and other resorts of the well-heeled at which he has stayed. They’re all very beautiful, he admits, but he wouldn’t trade them for anything. “They just don’t touch The Breakers,” he said. Ponce has his tour down to a science — the laugh lines,

FILM: FIVE MOST ...

Five favorite Joseph Gordon-Levitt performances LOS ANGELES (AP) — He’s only 31 years old, and already Joseph Gordon-Levitt has proven he can pretty much do everything. From action blockbusters and crowd-pleasing romantic comedies to quirky indies and small, searing dramas, he always makes interesting, eclectic choices and brings an authenticity and watchability to every role. With the time-travel drama “Looper” opening this weekend, here’s a look at Gordon-Levitt’s five best performances. They’re in alphabetical order because he’s so good in all of these movies, I couldn’t decide on an order of preference. • “50/50” (2011): GordonLevitt was in such a tough spot here. It’s a comedy … about cancer. But as the young man who receives the diagnosis that he only has a 50-percent chance of surviving a rare, spinal form of the disease, Gordon-Levitt never

creates a mawkish portrait of martyrdom. His character, Adam, goes through all the requisite stages of denial, frustration, fear and eventually acceptance, but he does so with such believable imperfection, he never feels like a saint. He’s not always gracious in the face of adversity; he can be a little surly and smug and emotionally closed-off. Gordon-Levitt has the range and subtlety to make all of that work. • “(500) Days of Summer” (2009): At the other end of the spectrum from “50/50” is a performance that’s bursting with joy at the center of Marc Webb’s sweet, clever film. As an aspiring Los Angeles architect, GordonLevitt recalls the blissful, all-consuming romance he shared with the seemingly perfect girl, Summer (Zooey Deschanel). Through every moment of jubilation and anxiety, Gordon-Levitt makes us feel for him; he’s still

so appealing even when he’s miserable, you almost don’t want to see him succeed. I was already a fan of his, but the spontaneous production number he leads with a bunch of strangers to Hall & Oates’ peppy “You Make My Dreams” is so infectious, it made me adore him. • “Brick” (2006): I like the movie itself a verbally stylish film noir set in a contemporary Southern California high school better in retrospect than I did in the moment. Back when I saw it, I admired the ambition of writerdirector Rian Johnson’s debut but thought the specificity of the language was too self-conscious and kept the audience at arm’s length. But I always liked Gordon-Levitt’s performance here as a teenage sleuth think Humphrey Bogart in a gray hoodie digging for the dangerous truth about the murder of the pretty, blonde classmate he loved. He handles the patter of the dia-

logue and repeated punches to the face with equal aplomb. It’s easy to see why Johnson would write “Looper” with GordonLevitt in mind, even naming the lead character Joe. • “The Lookout” (2007): Not a lot of people saw the directing debut from longtime screenwriter Scott Frank, and that is a shame. It’s a character drama tucked inside a heist caper, with building tension and beautifully drawn characters. Gordon-Levitt stars as a oncepromising high school athlete who suffers a head injury in a serious car crash that leaves him with short-term memory loss. Several years later, he makes some dangerous new friends at a bar who eventually ask him to help them rob the bank where he works as a night janitor to serve as the lookout. Gordon-Levitt’s everyman accessibility puts us right there in the middle of the crime, and his

sense of loneliness makes us understand why he’d want to be buddies with these people who are using him. • “Mysterious Skin” (2005): This was the first film that signaled the kind of risky roles Gordon-Levitt was interested in playing an indication of the intriguing career he’d go on to carve out for himself. In writer-director Gregg Araki’s low-budget drama, GordonLevitt co-stars as a small-town teenage hustler named Neil: a young man whose repeated molestation at the hands of his little-league coach starting at age 8 set him on a wayward path of danger and self-destruction. He’s a narcissistic, blas character whose bravado hides years of damage, and GordonLevitt portrays him with both bravery and sympathy. Clearly, this was no longer the cute kid from the TV sitcom “3rd Rock From the Sun.”

BOOK REVIEW SUNDAY CROSSWORD

AP PHOTO/VIKING

This book cover image released by Viking shows “May We Be Forgiven,” a novel by A.M. Homes.

Unsettling satire may not be for everyone BY PATRICK CONDON AP Book Reviewer “May We Be Forgiven” (Viking), by A.M. Homes: A book that’s hard to like but even harder to forget, A.M. Homes’ “May We Be Forgiven” is a wild, almost unhinged satire about the toxic relationship between a pair of brothers and the havoc it wreaks in their lives and those of the people they love. It’s not for everyone, but adventurous readers who can tolerate its frequent detours into kinky sex and disturbing violence will find buried within an almost uplifting belief in the possibility of redemption. Harold Silver’s brother George is the younger of the two, but people always assume that George — taller and better-looking, wealthier and more successful in his field — is older than Harold. A historian with a specialty in the life and career of Richard Nixon, Harold has always suffered envy for George. He’s also spent most of his life suffering at the hands of George, an obnoxious bully with a dangerous temper. As “May We Be Forgiven” gets under way, Harold and his wife, Claire, are spending a tense Thanksgiving Day with George and his family. The unhappy family gathering foreshadows a shocking act of brutality by George a few days later that radically alters Harold’s life. Harold is somewhat complicit in George’s violent act, and even as he’s thrust into new responsibilities for what’s left of George’s family, he simultaneously watches as his own marriage, career and health all crumble to varying degrees. A lot happens in the just under 500 pages of this novel, and Homes keeps the pages turning swiftly with a blunt writing style and a relentless flair for the absurd. While it’s set firmly in a recognizable present day, there’s a fog of unrealism that pervades “May We Be Forgiven.” Harold, for the most part frustratingly passive, nevertheless repeatedly stumbles into bizarre sexual encounters and a series of vaguely threatening run-ins with strangers. This aura of random menace gives the book the feel of a (very adult) fairy tale, and like a fairy tale, it also has a finely tuned conscience: As he starts to accept more responsibility in the lives of George’s children, Harold begins to acquire a new sense of purpose and definition in a life that he previously drifted through. Many readers will likely be shocked or put off by parts of “May We Be Forgiven.” The sex and violence that permeate the book at times feel gratuitous, but Homes wants more than to titillate: She’s turning a mirror on the tawdriness that comprises so much of our current events and popular culture, and the reflection is not a pleasant one.

BOOK REVIEW

J.K. Rowling’s novel for adults worth a read

sure agreements before being permitted to see the book. The Associated Press declined to sign such an agreement and instead purchased a copy early. Already at No. 1 on Amazon, the book has gotten early buzz from references to sex and drugs that might be a tad mature for

the youngest “Potter” fans. It’s set in the small British village of Pagford, and tells the story of what happens after the unexpected death of a town official leaves a vacancy on the town’s governing body. A long-simmering conflict over what the solidly middle-class village should do about the residents of a poverty-stricken, drug- and crime-infested housing project on the edge of town gets heated, interwoven with the personal lives and problems of Rowling’s characters. This isn’t a book that’s easy to fall in love with, the way Harry Potter was with its charming, winning hero and his plucky friends, saving the world from evil with the help of a powerful spell or two. Even with its moments of humor, it’s a hard story where some people just don’t get saved, because really, they never had a chance. It’s filled with often unlikeable people, some of whom cross the line into terrible. They’re

all unhappy in one way or another, even if the only people who know that are themselves, if that. They can be judgmental, mean, petty and violent. Some are damaged beyond repair. Even the deceased official, in some ways the most positive, moral force in the story, is shown to have hurt his wife with his dedication to his cause that clearly came at her emotional expense. But what could have been an unreadable story becomes something else in Rowling’s hands, thanks to her gift of being able to make her characters complex and really, just human. Readers know these people. They’re familiar, with their moments of lashing out in anger or hoping against hope that this time things will be different. They’re people the reader feels something for, even it’s just pity, because they’re struggling, because life can be hard and sometimes there just aren’t any breaks, because even peo-

ple who look like nothing but trouble can do something good. A number of her characters are teenagers, trying to figure out their places in the world, with all the emotional peaks and valleys that can bring. That ability to bring her characters to their emotional life was a hallmark of the Harry Potter series it didn’t become a global phenomenon just because it was an exciting adventure, but because there was a real heart to it, characters who had both strengths and weaknesses, who struggled with their choices. That’s what makes this book worth it, despite a slow start and sometimes too much of the descriptions and adjectives that added life to Harry Potter but at times tend to bog Rowling down here. That’s what makes the book’s ending scenes so heartbreaking turning the page seems unbearable, but not as much as putting down the book would be.

ANNIVERSARY

Yeandles celebrate 50 years TROY — Michael and Jennifer (Lott) Yeandle of Troy are celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary. They were married on Saturday, Oct. 13, 1962, at St. David’s Church, Milford Haven in Great Britain, by the Rev. B. Alcc Lewis. The couple have two children, Nicola Yeandle, married to Sgt. James Hanson, U.S. Army; and Stuart Yeandle, married to Adrenia Merritt; six grandchildren; and three great-grandchildren.

is the first medical device to be implanted inside the eye, said a spokeswoman for VisionCare, the California firm that manufactures the device. It was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in 2010. The product is priced at VisionCare’s $15,250, spokeswoman said, and Medicare has said it will cover the cost. Virginia Bane, 89, of Pollock Pines, Calif., is the first patient in Northern California to undergo the surgery. Dr. Mark Mannis, a UC Davis eye surgeon who partnered with Li to perform the surgery, said Bane was carefully selected to pioneer the treatment. “Virginia approaches this with enthusiasm and analytical thinking,” Mannis said. “It’s courageous to be the first person to do this.” Bane, who received her implant in May, is also one of the first 50 people in the United States to undergo the surgery. In an interview, she said the procedure was painless but weeks of occupational therapy were needed to train the brain to use the device to full benefit. “After surgery, you begin to see wonderful things happen because of the scope,” Bane said. “You can see the faces of your friends. And it’s wonderful to be able to read again.”

MORTGAGE WATCH

Rate on 30-year mortgage hits record low 3.40% WASHINGTON (AP) — Average U.S. rates on fixed mortgages fell again to new record lows. The decline suggests the Federal Reserve’s stimulus efforts may be having an impact on mortgage rates. Mortgage buyer Freddie Mac said Thursday that the rate on the 30-year loan dropped to 3.40 percent. That’s down from last week’s rate of 3.49 percent, which was the lowest since long-term mortgages began in the 1950s. The average on the 15-year fixed mortgage, a popular refinancing option, fell to 2.73 percent, down from the record low of 2.77 percent last week. The Fed is spending $40 billion a month to buy mortgage-backed securities. The goal is to lower mortgage rates and help the housing recovery. Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke says the program will continue until there is substantial improvement in the job market. Some economists expect mortgage rates to fall even further because of the Fed’s bond purchases. The housing market already is benefiting from the lowest mortgage rates on record. Sales of both previously occupied and newly built homes in the U.S. are up from last year. Home prices are rising more consistently. And builders are more confident in the market and are starting to build more homes. The broader economy is also likely to benefit from a revival in the housing market. When home prices rise, Americans typically feel wealthier and spend more. Still, the housing market has a long way back. Sales and construction rates remain below healthy levels. And some economists question whether lower rates will make much of a difference. The average rate on the 30-year fixed mortgage has been below 4 percent since early December. So most people who can qualify have likely already taken advantage of the lower rates. Many people who would like to refinance or buy a home can’t because they fail to meet stricter lending requirements or don’t have enough money to make a down payment. The average rate on one-year adjustable-rate mortgages dipped to 2.60 percent from 2.61 percent. The fee for one-year adjustable rate loans was unchanged at 0.4 point.

Three quick looks for fall decorating BY MARY CAROL GARRITY Scripps Howard News Service Want to perk up your home for autumn, but don’t have the time or inclination for a full fall makeover? Here are three quick looks you can create in a jiff using my favorite fall decorating tools. • Pumpkins What is fall decorating without a pumpkin or two? Not only do these chubby little guys scream fall, they are easy to work into lots of different kinds of fall and yearround displays. Start with a lovely bowl and fill it with a jumble of faux pumpkins and gourds. Somehow this minimalist presentation gives you the feel of a fall bouquet without the challenge of floral arranging. The display is low-profile enough to work perfectly on a coffee table, yet dramatic enough to hold its own at the center of your dining table. Lanterns make great yearround decorating tools, and in my book, you just can’t have enough of them. I took one of my favorite lanterns, which feature a white wooden base and black metal top, and fitted it with a simple pumpkininspired display. Start by inserting a twist of honeysuckle vine into the open lantern. Then, tuck in a few faux pumpkins. Add some color with faux greenery. Finish off by decorating the top of the lantern with a ribbon that cinches a few more twists of honeysuckle vine. Once it’s completed, put the lantern on your front stoop, an entry table, a corner of your mantel or on your kitchen island. Find a great candlestick, remove the candle, and replace it with a pumpkin or gourd. Put a thin bed of Spanish moss on top of the

Don’t just confine yourself to beefy pillar candlesticks. Thin silver candlesticks and majestic five-armed candelabra look great holding mini-pumpkins, too. Arrange a line of them marching across your fireplace mantel or down your dining table. Perch one or two on your kitchen windowsills. Amass a cluster on an end table. • Dough bowls I frequently place dough bowls on top of tall furniture, then fill them with pumpkins

and gourds. Stop there, or take your display to the next level by filling in the space around with a stack of wicker boxes and branches. What an eye-catching display. Looking for a simple-yetstriking centerpiece? They are easy to build in a dough bowl. First, make a foundation out of faux fall foliage. Then, place pumpkins and gourds among the sticks and leaves. • Orbs Orbs are just the tool for fall decorating because they allow you to build a bigger, bolder display that still

allows the colors of your seasonal decor to shine through. A sophisticated display starts with a silver punch bowl perched on top of a hand-carved pedestal. Then roll in an assortment of chrome silver orbs, letting them fall where they may. If you want a year-round display that transcends the seasons, you could stop here. To tweak it for the season, simply insert some seasonal foliage. A slightly larger orb fits

First impressions are lasting. Homebuyers and real estate agents remember what they see, not what you say your home will look like after you reduce the clutter, paint and replace outdated floor coverings and light fixtures. Most people don’t have the ability to visualize how a home will look spruced up. If you show your home to prospective buyers or their agents before it’s ready to show, you could lose out on a possible offer because they’re turned off by the lack of appeal. It’s often difficult to get someone back for a second look after you’ve made improvements. One couple who’d been looking

Sometimes words are misinterpreted, so a picture can make things clearer. Come up with colors that you are comfortable with, but don’t stress too much over it if you aren’t sure, as the designer should be able to help with that. A budget is important, but be realistic. Don’t ask the remodeler right away how much it will cost to remodel, because it all depends on what you want. If it is a small remodeling job, or a big one, the cost will be clearer when the plans are in place and all parties know what needs to be accomplished. Local trade associations, neighbors and friends might be helpful in selecting the right remodel. Always look for referrals. And be sure all parties involved have proper licenses and registrations. One way to check this out is through your state’s licensing agency. To be happy with your remodeled home, be sure you do your homework before starting the project.

Are you wishing you could do something about the house you live in? Selling your current home to buy a new one might not work in this economy because your current home is probably not worth the same amount of money you paid for it in the first place. And if it is, you won’t get the same value in a new home — at least, not now. So what’s a homeowner to do? Well, remodel, of course. And that is a good choice, because remodeling adds value to your home. It also adds more comforts and more conveniences. You’ve lived in your home for a while and know what you wish were different, so remodeling is what can make that happen. Now you are going to need a professional to do the job, so let’s check out

what to look for in a remodeler. You want a company that can do the job right the first time, and one way to get it done right is to have the help of an architect and a designer. What you see in your head can be put on paper and viewed properly to see if it works and how it works. The remodeling company needs to have constant communication with you so nothing is done without your approval and that any delays or needed changes are understood and accepted in a timely manner. Be sure the remodeler is willing to stand behind his work, not just by word but by a warranty. You might have ideas of exactly what you want. But if you don’t, a good place to start is by looking through magazines and collecting pictures of what you wish your house looked like. This will not only help you, but also help the remodeler, architect and designer know what you want.

home more salable and could increase the amount you recoup when you sell. Most sellers find the decluttering process tedious. The bonus of weeding out what you no longer want or need is that you don’t have to pay to move these items. And, you’re making your home easier to sell. Some agents don’t want to take time to help sellers prepare their home for a more profitable sale even though buyers pay more for a home that’s in move-in condition. Ask your real estate agent how much your home might sell for in both its “as is” condition and after making cosmetic improvements. If you decide to prepare your home for an advantageous sale, use an agent who will assist you with this by prioritizing what should be done and helping you find people to complete the work. It’s not always possible for sellers to cosmetically update their homes before selling. The trade-off will be a lower sale price. Recently, two similar listings sold in upscale Piedmont, Calif., near Oakland. The one that was prepared for sale sold way over the asking price with six offers. The other listing had a dated décor that made it difficult to see how the house could look. The price had to be reduced significantly before it sold. THE CLOSING: Make sure if you are going to spruce up your home for sale that you don’t show it before the work is done.

Kitchen makeover combines glitz, contemporary BY CANDICE OLSON Scripps Howard News Service Derrick and Anita have lived in their home for four years. They finally saved up enough money to start renovating, and first on their list was the kitchen. They wanted to scrap everything about the massive, industrial-style kitchen with its fluorescent lighting, dysfunctional layout and 1980s look. Who could blame them? This kitchen was cold and more suited to an industrial park or a factory, rather than a warm and inviting home. But Derrick and Anita had very different ideas about how to renovate this space. He is all about elegance, glitz and glam — think Palace of Versailles. On the other hand, she likes contemporary, clean lines — think an elegant and modern hotel lobby. As you can see, our challenge was all about cooking up a creative plan that would merge two conflicting styles into one perfect kitchen. This space was absolutely huge, so I created a plan that sectioned off the room into three distinct zones: cooking and food prep, a dining area and an afterdinner lounge. Then I placed a pantry with lots of storage between the dining-room doors. A built-in stainless-steel microwave and oven were stacked and built into simple white cabinetry finished off with elegant round crystal knobs, to add just a touch of sparkle. A new fridge-freezer unit sits concealed behind more cabinetry doors, and an elegant black quartz countertop wraps around the remainder of the food-prep

from the same dark cabinetry as the island features a mirrored back and glass shelves. It’s the perfect place to showcase dishes and other special items. Jutting out from this hutch is a counter-height peninsula-style table, topped by the same lighter quartz we used on the island. Four studded leather stools provide comfortable seating for dinner — but Derrick and Anita won’t be sitting there for too long after they finish dessert, because then it will be time to move on to the kitchen lounge. Yes, you read that correctly! This kitchen is so big that there was room to create an intimate lounge for two with a couple of comfortable upholstered chairs, a round white table with clean, flowing lines, and a wall-mounted television.

Our house is Grandma’s house, too Get ready, kids, Grandma’s moving in. Maybe Grandpa, too. That’s the hope, anyway, at the Bonaire housing development in Maple Grove, Minn., where the hammers were flying as crews put the finishing touches on a model house that includes a completely self-contained, one-bedroom apartment aimed at buyers who want a dedicated space for the parents, in-laws or grown children. It’s being built by Lennar Corp., which says it’s the first production builder to offer multigenerational buyers a house-within-ahouse complete with its own entrance and garage. “In this market it will be a game-changer,” said Lennar’s Minnesota division president, Bill Burgess. “It gives people another opportunity to change the way they retire.” Burgess said that the idea was recently launched in Arizona. The company quickly sold about 100 of those plans, giving the company the confidence to bring it to other markets. It’s all part of a growing trend that’s expected to have a big impact on the way builders design and sell homes in the coming years as social and economic shifts change the way people live. It’s also a way for Lennar to increase home sales. Builders are still digging their way out of the worst downturn since the Great Depression, and it gives buyers a fresh option at a time when there hasn’t been much innovation. Multigenerational living is nothing new. For years, people have found creative ways to

a 600-square-foot onebedroom apartment with an eat-in kitchen, a living room, laundry and a bedroom. All of it is tucked into the main floor of the house where a formal dining room is typically situated. Burgess is optimistic that the concept will be a home run for families that want a new house, but don’t want to shoulder the entire financial burden. At $579,970, the Next Gen home in Maple Grove will surely appeal to move-up buyers. Burgess says that he’s also getting a positive response from parents who want to proactively prepare for a time when an adult child might have to move home. “Some say ‘In this economy I want to be able to give my kids a helping hand,’ ” he said.

HOMEFIX: Q&A BY DWIGHT BARNETT Scripps Howard News Service

the blown-in insulation and the decking. If you choose foam insulation, there is no need for the baffles because all of the decking would be covered. I did a quick check at one of the big-box stores and found the following: a bag of loose-fill fiberglass insulation is selling for $31.79 and it would require 13 bags to cover 824 square feet of attic space to a depth of approximately 12 inches. The cost of blownin cellulose would be similar and it is installed using the same type of equipment as fiberglass. The 13 bags of fiberglass would give you an estimated R30 rating in addition to the insulation you already have. Your estimate of $1,200 appears to be reasonable. Thirteen bags of insulation would cost you $413.27 plus tax, leaving around $700 for the contractor’s labor and profit. A common rule of thumb for estimating a small job is to take the costs of the material and double it for the labor and profit. Not a scientific method, but one often used by various contractors. I would recommend you get at least three bids to compare, making sure each contractor is licensed (where required) and insured. Before hiring a contractor, contact your local Better Business Bureau for information on the contractor’s business — and always get references from the contractor and contact his customers to see if they were satisfied with the work.

Q: I just got a bid for insulation of my 824square-foot attic for $1,200. That seems pretty high. The contractor would blow in cellulose insulation. But you have said that expandable foam against the roof is better. Is the expandable foam you mentioned nontoxic? We have people in our home with upper-respiratory sensitivities. A: For new construction, foam is an ideal choice, but in existing homes insulating the underside of the roof’s decking with foam is costly; sometimes two to three times that of conventional insulation. In addition, the existing attic insulation should be removed and a heating/cooling duct installed to control and condition the attic space. There is no out-gassing of the expanding foam insulation. The price charged by a contractor will vary from city to city depending on wage rates, the complexity of the job and how much material will be required to gain the R-rating you need. The R-rating is the resistance to thermal transfer, and the higher the R-rating the better, but the insulation should never touch the underside of the roof’s decking. A baffle should be installed between the rafters where the roof’s decking is close to the attic’s floor to provide airflow from the Dwight Barnett is a home’s soffit vents and to certified master inspector. prevent contact between

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 and eventually fake 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 Generalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office at (800)282-0515.
