Pink paper raised funds Breast cancer research to benefit Staff Reports

Nearly everyone reading this knows someone or knows of someone whose life has been touched by breast cancer. In 2008, more than 400,000 around the globe died as a result of this horrific disease.

October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. In

honor of this month, Monday’s edition of Troy Daily News — along with those of its sister Ohio Community Media newspapers — were printed on pink paper. In addition, $1 of every column inch of advertising in that edition was donated to fight breast cancer.

Since National Breast Cancer Awareness Month was first established in 1985, the color pink — particularly pink ribbons — has

TROY become synonymous with the fight against breast cancer.

“We felt this was an important thing to do in terms of raising awareness against this dreaded disease,” Troy Daily News executive editor David Fong said. “I don’t know of a single person who has not had their lives touched in some way, shape or form by breast cancer. I have seen my own family and

friends battle breast cancer. The key to this fight is early detection.

If by raising awareness during the month of October can help one person in their fight, it will be worth it.”

The key to fighting breast cancer is early detection, either through self or clinical exams, mammography, genetic screening, ultrasound or an MRI. With earlier detection comes a greater survival rate, according to the American Cancer Society.

Christie not making a run After a surge of new speculation, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie declared with finality Tuesday that “now is not my time” to run for president, dashing the hopes of Republicans still searching for someone other than frontrunners Mitt Romney and Rick Perry.

Christie had insisted for months that he wouldn’t run. But then came an intense weekend of reconsideration before he made a firm announcement at a news conference at the New Jersey Statehouse.

Council approves recommendation

BY RON OSBURN Staff Writer rosburn@tdnpublishing.com The city is taking a proactive approach to the controversial issue of Internet cafes.

Monday, Troy City Council unanimously approved legislation imposing a six-month moratorium on issuing zoning permits for Internet cafes within city limits.

Internet cafes have been popping up around the state recently, especially in northern Ohio. They offer a wide variety of computerbased services, but they’ve also been stirring up controversy because some offer on-line sweepstakes games that straddle a thin line between gaming and stateregulated gambling, authorities say.

Internet cafes are a land use not specifically addressed in the city zoning code, and the moratorium will give city staff an opportunity to evaluate the issues surrounding Internet cafes, according to Troy Service and Safety Director Patrick Titterington.

As of yet, no one has applied for a permit to open an Internet cafe in Troy, Titterington said.

Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine currently is working with the Ohio Legislature and the Ohio Casino Control Commission on legalities and guidelines on Internet cafes.

Titterington said “dozens of other communities” across the state have passed similar moratoriums while they await legal opinions and direction from the state. It’s unclear when opinions or guidelines would come from the Attorney General’s office.

A six-month moratorium is the maximum length allowed, but the city would come back and ask for an extension if the issue is not satisfactorily cleared up after six months, Titterington said.

The ordinance (0-212011) was approved as an emergency Monday, meaning it takes effect immediately.

Council on Monday also: • Approved a $151,700 Downtown Building Repair loan for P&C Ventures LLC to purchase the former Knapke Cabinets building on the square at 2 and 6 E. Main St. The loan will help P&C, which consists of local businesswoman Patty Rose and her husband Chuck Sturwold, purchase the

Piqua woman dead after Troy collision Staff report

PIQUA

Authorities identified a 28-year-old Piqua woman as the victim of a singlecar collision at the intersection of Brown and Stillwell roads Monday afternoon.

According to the Miami County Sheriff’s Office, the driver of the vehicle was Elizabeth Slife, who lost control of her vehicle at approximately 3:45 p.m.

Deputies said Slife lost control of her vehicle, went

off of the road, into a ditch, veered across the road again and collided with the pole.

She was pronounced dead at the scene, which is just west outside the city of Piqua in Washington Township.

A crash report stated no other vehicles were involved in the crash. The crash remains under investigation.

Disturbances reported in bulk over weekend Staff report

PIQUA

Over the weekend, more than a dozen residents called police to report unusual behavior, which included people knocking on windows throughout town and discharging firearms in various parts surrounding the community.

While the Piqua Police Department and the Miami County Sheriff’s Office handled the calls, neither department found the culprits.

According to the Piqua Police Department, several reports of shots fired were reported over the weekend in addition to several residents reporting people

knocking on doors and windows.

“We didn’t locate anything,” said Piqua Deputy Chief Marty Grove.

“We experience those types of calls (routinely), but there was a definitely a noticed increase over the weekend.”

In addition, in certain parts of Miami County there were reports of gunshots fired and in some cases deputies found road signs that had been hit with bullets, according to reports.

No injuries were reported.

TROY building. The amount and terms of the loan — 25 years at 2 percent interest — exceeded the DBR’s recommended caps, but both the city’s Downtown Loan Committee and a council committee recommended approval of the loan.

Due to a sale closing date of Oct. 16, council approved the loan as an emergency. Knapke went out of business suddenly in late August.

• Approved a $46,450 Downtown Building Repair loan to the Troy Masonic Temple to repair three large stained glass windows on the front of the building at 107 W. Main St. The amount falls within the DBR’s recommended guidelines, but the terms — 30 years at 1 percent interest, with interest-only payments for the first two years — exceed the guidelines. However, both the Troy Loan Committee and a council committee recommended approval of the loan.

As part of the two loan approvals, council also authorized reallocation of $400,000 in the city’s Community Development

Block Grant fund from the Economic Development Revolving Loan Fund to the DBR fund to replenish the DBR monies set aside for the P&C and Masonic loans.

The reallocation will allow the city to fund future requests in both the ED RLF and the DBR fund, according to Troy Development Director Jim Dando, who administers the fund programs.

• Authorized an Ohio Public Works application of up to $575,000 to reconstruct North Market Street from Staunton Road to Foss Way. The work includes road reconstruction and new paving, plus sidewalk, curb, gutter and new storm sewers. The project currently is estimated to cost $1.161 million, with Troy the difference paying between the OPWC grant and the total cost.

Troy Engineer Deborah Swan has said funding is not available until after July 1, 2012, and construction would not begin prior to completion of the Adams Street Bridge project, which is scheduled to be completed in October/November 2012.

• Recognized the outgoing and incoming members

of the Troy Youth Council.

OTHER ODDS & ENDS • The city of Troy topped 25,000 in population in the latest Census, and as a statutory city, must increase the number of its wards (each represented by a council person) from four to six by the end of the year.

City staff currently is working on redrawing the city’s ward map from four wards to six, and Monday, council president Martha Baker asked Titterington to have the redistricting plan to council by Nov. 1., to give council ample time to review before the end of the year.

While the number of wards will increase, the number of at-large seats — three — remains the same.

• Riverside and Rosehill cemeteries begin their annual fall clean-up Oct. 15.

All ground-mounted decorations must be removed by Oct. 15 or they will be removed by cemetery staff.

The phone number for the cemetery office is (937) 3352710.

The fax number is (937) 440-8596, or e-mail cemetery staff at: riverside.cemetery@troyohio.gov .

• Trick or Treat is from 6-8 p.m. Monday, Oct. 31.

however, he is confident that Tipp City will be awarded the $700,000. The grant will be awarded before the project goes to bid, so if the city does not receive the grant, council will know before work begins, Crusey said.

The remaining 19 percent of costs would come from in-kind inspection services and the City Electric Fund.

Approximately $750,000 will be charged to the Electric Fund to cover the cost of the relocation and extension of electric lines, as well as constructing and wiring street lights along County Road 25-A. Of this amount, $500,000 was previously budgeted as part of another project, which required the construction of these same electric lines.

The second resolution concerning the County Road 25-A project authorizes the city manager to submit an application to the Miami Valley Regional Planning Commission for funding of Phase 2 of the project. If funded, Phase 2 will begin in 2017.

The council also passed a resolution concerning the Downtown Utilities Replacement Project, allowing the city manager to apply for grant funding from the Ohio Public Works Commission.

“The project involves the construction of a new 12inch water main, replacement/lining of sanitary sewers, construction of an 18-inch storm sewer with catch basins, and the repairing of roadways and sidewalks affected by construction,” Crusey said.

The projected total cost for the project is $2,150,000. If approved, the project will be funded by a $400,000 grant and $1.4 million, 0 percent interest, 20-year loan. In addition to this assistance, the water and sewer funds would each be responsible for $175,000. A water rate increase of 3 percent — meaning an increase of $1.11 a month for the average customer — as well as a 9 percvent increase in the distribution portion of the sewer rate — or 90 cents per month — also will be necessary.

The construction will affect Main Street from Fourth Street to First Street. According to Crusey, this project has yet to be designed, so it is uncertain when construction will begin or how it will affect businesses and traffic on Main Street.

Council also approved a resolution re-approving the city’s involvement in the proposed I-75 Exit 69 Southbound Ramp Project.

“Due to a change in the timing of the project, modified project limits, and the widening of northbound ramps, ODOT has requested that revised legislation be adopted by city council,” Crusey said.

The project will replace the two southbound clover leaf ramps with new diamond-style ramps. It also will add a new traffic signal at the southbound ramps and an additional turn lane on the northbound ramp.

The estimated cost for this project is $4 million, with a majority of the funding coming from ODOT.

Council • CONTINUED FROM A1 25-A. Council approved two resolutions dealing with the project. The first allowed the city manager to enter into an agreement with the Ohio Department of Transportation for obtaining the federal funds necessary to complete the first phase of the project.

“The city of Tipp City will act as the local public authority for this project, which means that the city will be responsible for the design, bidding, award, inspection and construction contract administration,” said city manager Jon Crusey.

Phase 1 of the project is involves the widening of County Road 25-A from State Route 571 to Michaels Road from two lanes to five lanes, the construction of storm sewers, the looping of water lines and the relocation and extension of electric lines.

The total cost of the project is $4.3 million, Crusey said. The projected funding for the construction includes a $2,569,600 Federal Surface Transportation Program grant, a $700,000 Ohio Public Works Commission grant and $160,000 from the Miami County Engineer. Combined, these grants will cover 81 percent of the total cost.

“There’s a certain amount of risk involved,” said council member Joe Gibson, expressing concern that, because the Public Works grant has not yet been awarded, funding for the project is uncertain.

According to Crusey,

PERSPECTIVE

“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 Beaumont (Texas) Enterprise on last meals on death row: Faster than you can recite condemned killer Lawrence Brewer’s last meal — and it was a mouthful — a state senator pushed the head of Texas prisons to put an end to the long-standing ritual. The practice might have imparted a measure of civility, if not humanity, to the deadly process, but it has become increasingly anachronistic.

Sen. John Whitmire, D-Houston, who also happens to be the chair of the senate criminal justice committee, took issue with Brewer’s final order, which consisted of six entrees, two desserts and a bowl of okra — basically one wing of a chain buffet — with three root beers to wash it down.

Unsurprisingly, Brewer ate none of it.

We agree with Whitmire that the special last meal is an inappropriate gesture. It sends the wrong signal to a lot of people. No one ever asked a victim if he or she would like a special last meal.

The Asahi Shimbun, Tokyo, on a new U.S.-Japan alliance: Japan’s diplomacy is back at the starting line — again.

During his visit to New York to address the U.N. General Assembly, Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda met with U.S. President Barack Obama.

They agreed to strengthen the Japan-U.S. alliance.

Good. Obama has been in office for less than three years, but he already has met four Japanese prime ministers —Taro Aso, Yukio Hatoyama, Naoto Kan and now Noda.

In this age when summits figure prominently in world affairs, such frequent changes of leadership cannot be conducive to the development of strategic diplomacy.

In his foreign policy debut, Noda confirmed the Japan-U.S. alliance as the basis of Japanese diplomacy. Noda is now required to confirm Japan’s position in the multipolar world of international politics and pursue sincere but tough diplomacy.

For that, he must help create a stable order in East Asia and the AsiaPacific region based on a strong Japan-U.S. relationship. In particular, he must attempt to mend relations with China, which derailed after a row over the disputed Senkaku Islands in the East China Sea last year.

Noda is scheduled to visit China in October, and then he will participate in multilateral diplomacy through the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) forum in the United States and the East Asia Summit in Indonesia, both in November. We hope he will use these occasions to produce a rounded picture of Japanese diplomacy.

London Evening Standard on Saudi women voting: Even if the latest promise of granting marginal political rights to Saudi women could be believed, it would be too little, too late. King Abdullah has good intentions regarding their position, but any step forward on rights tends to be matched by two steps back — and not just for women.

The king consulted with clerics before announcing women could vote in the next municipal election — though not the one due this week — and join the royally-appointed Majlis ash-Shura, a consultative body with no real power. The clerics’ consent suggests they see the promise as sufficiently meaningless not to pose any threat to the Wahhabi establishment.

They are right. This promise has been made before — when municipal elections were first held in 2005, women were also told that next time they would be allowed to cast their ballots. Not only did it take six years for “next time” to arrive; women have now been sold that particular horse twice. No one knows how long it will take before the new promise is tested.

In the meantime, the rules that make women the wards of male relatives in even the tiniest legal matter — and the no less offensive ban on driving — remain in place, threading women’s lives through endless humiliations and impracticalities. …

Saudi policy is racked by rivalries within the House of Saud and the inherent uncertainties of gerontocracy. But the rulers seem united in defying the march of history by holding on to their form of government: absolute monarchy balanced only by fundamentalist theocracy. In particular, they show no sign of permitting any political participation that would permit minority Shia to press their claims. Not only women, but all disenfranchised Saudis will have to bide their time a while longer.

DOONESBURY

In life, the little things can add up to a lot “Move.” It is a big theme right now that has always been focused on by a lot of Christian artists, but has been more so as of late. As we focus on the lessons Christ teaches us we soak in them and forget sometimes that we are called to live them out and not just memorize them.

When is it that we finally take what we learn and put it into action? Well that is what MercyMe and Third Day are doing as bands.

I have had the pleasure and great opportunity to interview band members of both groups.

When I talked to Mac Powell from Third Day he said, “We always talk about what we are suppose to do, it's time for us to stop talking and move.”

As I really focused in on what he was saying and listened more than I was typing, I realized that I need to move more in my life.

I need to be the Christian that can be called out by my actions.

I took one small step toward that recently when I saw a blood mobile in the US Bank parking lot.

Typically in the past few years I have not been able to donate blood because of my red blood cell counts being too low. I pulled in and took the chance — and took a step of faith.

When I made the promise to

Katie Yantis Troy Daily News Columnist myself that this year would be the beginning of my new life of exercise and being healthy I knew that it would also help other people. By eating healthier and exercising more — after I went through the whole process of answering all of the questions and getting my finger pricked, I heard "You're good."

My count was finally high enough after about three and half or more years to be able to donate blood to people in need.

I'm not going to lie, in true fashion to myself, I teared up a little bit as the first thing the nurse said to me was "The No. 1 thing we can say is thank you, because you are helping someone you don't even know out."

The feeling hit me. You know the feeling. The feeling you get after you help an elderly resident take their groceries to their car,

help someone across the street, stop and ask if the person on the side of the road needs help or finish helping build a house for habitat for humanity or when you leave a soup kitchen.

I recently stopped to try and help a couple that was pulled off the side of a ramp on I-75. The girl was in the front seat steering as her exhausted looking boyfriend was trying to push the car up the ramp to the gas station.

Long story short, the couple ended up getting a tow truck that pulled them to the gas station.

After I had purchased a can and gas and was on my way back to them. I returned to the gas station and found them filling up.

I said "I really was coming back."

The girl was kind and said they were appreciative but didn't know if I would come back.

Some laughed at my attempts to help someone out in need, because that is where our world has gotten to not trusting or being there.

When did that happen? When did we get to the point that we can't trust our neighbors to help us when it is needed. When did we get to the point where we can't trust people when they say “I'll be right back (with your help.”)

Many people will read this and

say I'm naive. i'm not naive anymore. I have had my fair share of untrustworthy people and believed people would help me like they say and don't.

My point is not ignoring the fact that our world has changed, my point is why are we not trying to reverse it?

I know it's a dangerous world. I know there are people that take advantage of people and I know that sometimes people really are only looking out for themselves. I am going to start taking small steps each day to contribute my part to help change it.

I have had an amazing book tucked away since I moved. I got it out the other night. When I flipped it open this is what I read: "How will we make the world a better place?"

Then it had this quote from Mother Teresa — "The needs are great, and none of us ever do great things. But we can do small things, with great love and together we can do something wonderful."

What can we do today to make a difference? Whatever it may be, it can just be many small things, with great love.

Chopper raised out of NYC river after deadly crash NEW YORK (AP) — A helicopter with five people aboard crashed into the East River on Tuesday afternoon after taking off from a launch pad on the riverbank, killing one passenger and injuring three others.

Two of the passengers were believed to be British living in Portugal, and the other two lived in Australia, Mayor Michael Bloomberg said.

New York Police Department divers pulled the victim, a woman, from about 50 feet (15 meters) of water about an hour after

the Bell 206 helicopter went down around 3 p.m.

EDT. She was pronounced dead at the scene.

Emergency crews arrived to find the chopper inverted in the murky water with just its skids showing on the surface. The pilot, Paul Dudley, and three passengers were bobbing in the chilly water, and it looked as though a man was diving down and coming back up, possibly in an attempt to rescue the remaining passenger, witnesses said.

Officers jumped in and pulled out two women and

a man, police spokesman Paul Browne said.

The women were in critical condition, and the man was stable. All were hospitalized. The pilot swam to the riverbank, remained at the scene and was uninjured.

The private chopper went into the river off 34th Street in midtown Manhattan, a few blocks south of the United Nations headquarters. It’s unclear what happened, but witnesses reported it was sputtering and appeared to be in some type of mechanical distress.

Report: Reid wants millionaire surtax Dems hope move will unify party WASHINGTON (AP) — Senate Democrats intend to jettison provisions that President Barack Obama recommended to pay for his jobs bill and substitute a tax surcharge on millionaires, officials said Tuesday, hoping to unify the party for a protracted political struggle with Republicans.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., outlined plans for a 5 percent surcharge in a closed-door meeting with the rank and file, according to participants in the session, as Obama traveled to Texas to deliver his most caustic challenge yet to House Republicans who have not allowed a vote on the legislation unveiled nearly a month ago.

“What’s the problem? Do they not have the time? They just had a week off. Is it inconvenient?” he said in Mesquite, Texas, singling out House Majority Leader Eric Cantor for special criticism.

There was no indication Cantor, R-Va., or the House Republicans would agree.

But after three weeks of presidential demands for Congress to pass his jobs bill without delay, White House communications director Dan Pfeiffer said Obama was open to Reid’s changes.

“We offered a balanced way to pay for the American Jobs Act, but if Congress has a better idea that ensures that everyone pays their fair share, we’re open to it,” Pfeiffer said.

On a day rich in political maneuvering, Senate GOP leader Mitch McConnell announced he was ready for an immediate vote on the bill, even though he opposes it.

Reading aloud on the Senate floor from a copy of Obama’s speech, he said, “I do think the president makes an important point that he is entitled to a vote.”

The request was blocked by Reid, who called it a “political stunt” and said he would make sure the bill comes to the floor this month. Aboard Air Force One, White House press secretary Jay Carney accused Republicans of gamesmanship.

The parliamentary dance aside, the day’s events underscored that as submitted by the White House, Obama’s bill would not only fail in the Republican-controlled House, but faced enough opposition from

Democrats to endanger its prospects in the Senate, as well.

“There’s the good, the bad and the ugly. The ugly was $447 billion,” said Sen. Joe Manchin, DW.Va., referring to the overall size of the president’s request.

Yet while Republicans and Democrats appear to be pointing to a showdown that could reverberate into the 2012 election campaign, some elements of the measure could clear Congress with relative ease by year’s end.

As an example, Republicans have not ruled out extending and expanding the payroll tax cuts that took effect on Jan. 1, at a cost of $247 billion over a decade, the single costliest item in the Obama’s legislation.

Democrats said Reid’s proposed millionaires’ surtax was designed to quell much if not all of the opposition from his own rank and file, a

subject that Sen. Dick Durbin of Illinois, the second-ranking leader, referred to in an interview with reporters.

“We’re also obviously going to work on the number of votes to support it. It may not be the exact plan offered by the resident, but I think he, when he presented it to us, said that we need to be open to some variations and modifications,” Durbin said.

The payroll tax cut extension faces little if any opposition from Democrats, and Obama’s request for more than $100 billion in new spending as a way of creating jobs is also popular.

To pay for his $477 billion plan, Obama has proposed higher taxes on family incomes over $250,000 and on the oil and gas industry to finance the jobs bill.

The first request troubles Democratic senators from states like New York, New Jersey and California, where large numbers of families could be hit by the increase.

The second has drawn opposition most prominently from Louisiana Sen. Mary Landrieu, whose state is home to numerous oil and gas operations.

The president also proposed higher taxes on hedge fund managers and corporate jet owners, and those increases, too, would disappear under the changes Reid is expected to unveil today.

Reid told reporters that Obama was “not locked into anything” he had recommended to pay for the legislation, adding that he was in the process of making changes in them.

His office declined comment on the emerging plan for a surcharge on millionaires, but several

Democrats, speaking anonymously to discuss the developments, said it was being drafted to cover the entire $447 billion cost of the legislation.

Reid predicted that by the time the jobs bill comes to the Senate floor, almost all Democrats would be behind it. “There could be I don’t know who but there could be some that don’t support it. But it would be a rare situation,” he added.

In his speech in Texas, Obama referred to Cantor one day after the Virginia Republican said the White House’s “all or nothing approach is unreasonable.”

“Eric Cantor said that right now, he won’t even let this jobs bill have a vote in the House of Representatives. That’s what he said. Won’t even let it be debated,” the president said.

“At least put this jobs bill up for a vote so that the entire country knows exactly where members of Congress stand,” Obama said. “Put your cards on the table.”

Cantor’s spokesman rejected the criticism.

“If House Republicans sent our plan for America’s job creators to the president, would he promise not to veto it in its entirety? Would he travel district to district and explain why he’d block such common-sense ideas to create jobs?”

Brad Dayspring said. “House Republicans have different ideas on how to grow the economy and create jobs, but that shouldn’t prevent us from trying to find areas of common ground with the president.”

House Republicans have begun passing legislation to block or roll back administration regulations on several industries, saying their removal will create jobs.

Christie says it’s final: No GOP presidential run TRENTON, N.J. (AP) — After a surge of new speculation, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie declared with finality Tuesday that “now is not my time” to run for president, dashing the hopes of Republicans still searching for someone other than frontrunners Mitt Romney and Rick Perry.

Christie had insisted for months that he wouldn’t run.

But then came an intense weekend of reconsideration

before he made a firm announcement at a news conference at the New Jersey Statehouse. His decision means the campaign now basically belongs to Romney and Perry, battling to take on President Barack Obama three months before the first GOP voting.

Though both men have extensive party support, Romney, the former Massachusetts governor, has failed to win over some skep-

tical conservatives, and Perry, the Texas governor, has been falling in opinion polls as quickly as he had risen.

Christie was the latest, perhaps last, hope of some establishment Republicans who had already been rejected by Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels, Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan and others who declined to

run for president in 2012.

He’s been governor of New Jersey for less than two years, but he’s cut the budget, curtailed public sector unions, and dealt with a Democratic legislature with disarming and combative confidence.

Christie disputed the idea that his name was just one more on that list.

“They weren’t searching.

They came right to one target, and it was me,” he said

profile, campaign organization, fundraising prowess and early-state promise for a serious run at the nomination.

Within hours, Christie donors started picking sides. The Romney campaign said Ken Langone, the Home Depot financier who helped lead the push to get Christie to run, had jumped on board. Iowa businessman Gary Kirke, who met with Christie earlier this year to urge him to run, announced he would support Perry.

Both Romney and Perry will be pushing for the support of Christie himself, who now could become something of a 2012 GOP kingmaker.

He declined to endorse a presidential candidate on Tuesday, but he promised his backing would mean something if and when he does.

“I’m not a halfway kind of guy,” Christie said.

His support could help give Romney credibility among the tea party conservatives who haven’t fully embraced the Massachusetts governor. And it could give Perry a way to quiet concerns about his viability.

Whoever wins, Christie said he wasn’t seeking the job of vice president.

“I just don’t think I have the personality to be asked,” he said. “I’m not looking for that job.”

Knox returns home to Seattle Woman spent 4 years in Italian prison for death of roommate SEATTLE (AP) — Amanda Knox returned to her hometown of Seattle on Tuesday and was as overcome with emotion as she was a day earlier in Italy, when she was acquitted on murder charges after four years in prison.

“Thank you for being there for me,” she tearfully told her supporters in front of a crowd of international reporters.

“I’m really overwhelmed right now,” she said at a news conference minutes after she was escorted off a British Airways flight out of London. “I was looking down from the airplane, and it seemed like everything wasn’t real.”

Knox’s life turned around dramatically Monday when an Italian appeals court threw out her conviction in the sexual assault and fatal stabbing of her British roommate. On Tuesday, photos of Knox crying in the courtroom after the verdict was read appeared on the front pages of newspapers in Italy, the U.S., Britain and around the world.

Wearing a brown cardigan and black leggings, with her hair in a ponytail, Knox sobbed at the news conference and held her mother’s hand as her lawyer Theodore Simon said her acquittal “unmistakably announced to the world” that she was not responsible for the killing of Meredith Kercher.

After her parents offered their thanks to Knox’s lawyers and supporters, Knox spoke briefly, saying, “They’re reminding me to speak in English, because I’m having problems with that.”

“Thank you to everyone who’s believed in me, who’s defended me, who’s supported my family,” she said.

“My family’s the most important thing to me so I just want to go and be with them, so, thank you for being there for me,” she said before she and her family left for a welcome-home party at her father’s house.

Knox’s acquittal, fueled by doubts over DNA evidence, stunned the victim’s family and angered the prosecution, which insists that she was among three people who killed Kercher, 21. But for Knox’s grandmother Elisabeth Huff, “it was like the weight of the world had gone.”

“We all are as happy as can be. I can’t tell you how long we’ve been looking forward to this day,” Huff told The Associated Press outside her home in West Seattle, a tight-knit community a few miles across Elliott Bay from downtown.

Friends and family who held spaghetti dinners, bowling events and concerts to raise money for Knox’s defense were thrilled to have her home, though at SeattleTacoma International Airport her supporters were a small presence compared to the dozens of U.S. and international reporters.

“WELCOME HOME AMANDA,” read the marquee at a record store in the neighborhood where Knox grew up. Another welcome sign was hung at her father’s house. A bar offered halfprice drinks to celebrate her acquittal. At least one TV station in Washington state tracked the progress of her

Knox, 24, left Perugia’s Capanne prison Monday night amid cheers that a companion compared to those at a soccer stadium.

Hundreds of inmates most of them in the men’s wing shouted “Amanda, ciao!” and “Freedom!” as she walked into the central courtyard, said Corrado Maria Daclon, head of the Italy-US Foundation, which championed Knox’s cause.

Daclon said Knox jumped a little for joy and waved to the prisoners.

She was soon on her way home, protected by the darkened windows of a Mercedes that led her out of the prison in the middle of the night, and then Tuesday morning to Rome’s Leonardo da Vinci airport. She flew from Rome to London, where she took a direct British Airways flight to Seattle, flying business class with full-length seat

Chile drops terror charges in bank bombings case SANTIAGO, Chile — A major terror case in Chile fell apart Tuesday as prosecutors dropped charges due to a lack of evidence against 13 suspects who spent eight months in prison for a series of bombings outside bank buildings.

The case had grown to include nearly 800 witnesses and 7,000 pieces of evidence at one point, including a poster of Guns N’ Roses singer Axl Rose, history books and an academic thesis about Chilean anarchists.

But the government’s plans to try them for terrorist conspiracy, punishable by up to life in prison, fell apart after a judge threw out 70 percent of the evidence as flimsy or irrelevant, and ordered prosecutors to pay the legal fees of suspects who had sustained a 65-day hunger strike while in maximum security prison.

An appeals court then upheld the judge’s ruling, leaving prosecutors with no alternative but to drop the charges filed under Chile’s dictatorship-era anti-terror law.

She and her family were on the plane’s secluded upper deck. At least nine members of media organizations were on board below, but a flight attendant blocked them from climbing the stairs “to preserve the privacy” of passengers.

As the plane neared Seattle, the flight crew told reporters that once the plane landed, they would have to remain seated while customs officials escorted Knox and her entourage out of the plane. “You will not see her,” the cabin crew chief said.

After the plane landed, Knox and her family were taken by shuttle van to go through customs.

Knox was a University of Washington student studying abroad in Perugia when Kercher was killed in 2007.

House sends White House a short-term spending bill WASHINGTON (AP) — The House passed a spending bill Tuesday to fund the government for six weeks, delaying a series of battles over spending and policy that include everything from labor law and environmental regulations to abortion and the Pentagon budget.

The 352-66 vote sent the measure to President Barack Obama in time to avert a government shutdown at midnight.

That ended a skirmish over disaster aid that seemed to signal far more trouble ahead as Obama and a bitterly divided Congress begin working on ironing out hundreds of differences, big and small, on a $1 trillion-plus pile of 12 unfinished spending bills.

Fifty-three Republicans defected on the measure, which was calibrated to spend money at rates equal to an August budget deal between Congress and Obama that permits too much spending for many tea party conservatives.

For weeks officials fought over disaster aid after the House insisted that $1 billion in emergency aid for victims of Hurricane Irene and other natural disasters should have been offset by cuts elsewhere in the budget.

House and Senate Democrats strongly opposed the idea, particularly over House GOP cuts to a loan guarantee program that helps automakers retool factories to meet new fuel economy standards.

But a face-saving compromise last week the Senate dropped both the $1 billion in aid and the cuts to clean energy programs paved the way for Tuesday’s vote. Debate lasted just minutes.

“We need to keep the doors of the government open to the American people who rely on its programs and services,” said the chairman of the House Appropriations Committee, Rep. Harold Rogers, R-Ky. “Furthermore, our economy cannot handle the instability that comes with the threat of a government shutdown.”

A far more difficult task loomed: passing the 12 annual spending bills that lay out the day-to-day operating budgets for Cabinet agencies and departments.

On one hand, the task was made easier by the fact that the GOP-controlled House, the Democratic-run Senate and the president were in agreement on an overall $1 trillion-plus budget for the day-to-day operations of government agencies.

The August budget deal restored $24 billion in cuts sought by Republicans in their April budget, but the overall budget “cap” remained slightly below levels for the 2011 budget year that ended Sept. 30.

Still, there remained plenty of disagreement over which programs should be increased and which should be cut the deepest.

Republicans were pressing big cuts to foreign aid and to preserve some budget gains for the Pentagon; Democrats and Obama wanted more money for domestic programs like job training, Pell Grants and heating subsidies for the poor.

To make the bills appealing to conservatives despite higher-than-hoped spending levels, House Republicans were using the bills to attack Obama’s policies on health care and financial services, environmental regulations and labor rules. GOP lawmakers also were fighting on behalf of conservative social policies such as eliminating federal aid for family planning and barring health care plans for federal workers from covering abortions.

The short-term measure set a Nov. 18 deadline to wrap up the unfinished spending bills. But it was by no means a sure thing that a bitterly divided Congress and the White House would be able to do so.

The loss of 53 Republicans on Tuesday’s vote illustrated the difficult hand that GOP leaders must play in the negotiations.

thanked those Italians who supported her. “Those who wrote, those who defended me, those who were close, those who prayed for me,” Knox wrote, “I love you.”

Prosecutor Giuliano Mignini expressed disbelief at the innocent verdicts of Knox and her former boyfriend, Raffaele Sollecito.

Mignini maintains that Knox, Sollecito and another man killed Kercher during a lurid, drug-fueled sex game.

Mignini said he will appeal to Italy’s highest criminal court after receiving the reasoning behind the acquittals, due within 90 days.

“Let’s wait and we will see who was right. The first court or the appeal court,” Mignini told The Associated Press on Tuesday. “This trial was done under unacceptable media pressure.”

One conviction in the slaying still stands: that of Ivory Coast native Rudy Hermann Guede, who sen-

tence was cut to 16 years in his final appeal. His lawyer said Tuesday he will seek a retrial. The highest court already has upheld Guede’s conviction. It said Guede had not acted alone but did not name Knox and Sollecito, saying it was not up to the court to determine who his accomplices were.

Kerchner’s family said during an emotional news conference Tuesday that they were back to “square one.”

Monday’s decision “obviously raises further questions,” her brother Lyle Kercher said.

“If those two are not the guilty parties, then who are the guilty people?” he said.

Knox was sentenced to 26 years in prison and Sollecito received 25, but the prosecution’s case was blown apart by a DNA review ordered during the appeals trial that discredited crucial genetic evidence.

Prosecutors maintain that Knox’s DNA was found on the handle of a kitchen knife believed to be the murder weapon, and that Kercher’s DNA was found on the blade. They said Sollecito’s DNA was on the clasp of Kercher’s bra as part of a mix of evidence that also included the victim’s genetic profile. But an independent review ordered at the request of the defense found that police conducting the investigation had made glaring errors. The two experts said below-standard testing and possible contamination raised doubts over the attribution of DNA traces, both on the blade and on the bra clasp, which was collected from the crime scene 46 days after the murder.

The review was crucial to throwing out the convictions because no motive has emerged and witness testimony was contradictory.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Help your sister get rid of unused medication the right way Dear Annie: I would like to know the proper way to dispose of pain medications when a loved one passes away.

Quite recently, my sister's friend's husband died from cancer.

Two days later, my sister and her friend were trying to sell his unused Oxycontin and morphine. I find this appalling.

I have read that it is not wise to flush the meds down the toilet because it affects our drinking water. So, please tell us the proper way of disposal. — Confused in My State Dear Confused: How nice that your sister wants to be a drug pusher.

Studies have found traces of painkillers, estrogen, antidepressants, blood-pressure medicines and other pharmaceuticals in water samples. The medications you cite are classified as controlled substances and cannot be legally donated or dispensed. Unless the labeling specifically says to flush them, the DEA does not recommend sending any medications down the toilet. Instead, it encourages bringing unwanted medications to community take-back collections.

Readers can check with their pharmacy for drug recycling or community take-back programs. If there are no such programs near you, contact your state and local waste management authorities.

Unused medications can also be ground up or dissolved in a small amount of water or alcohol, and mixed with coffee grounds or kitty litter, and then put in a small sealable plastic bag and hidden in the trash.

Please help your sister get rid of these medications properly before she gets arrested.

Dear Annie: I am a doctor working in a medium-sized medical practice. It was a great place to work until we hired "Dr. Judy," an aggressive physician who tried to get others fired. When her chances of becoming a partner disappeared, she abruptly left, taking a lot of staff with her. She set up shop a few miles away and is actively recruiting our clients.

One of the other doctors on our staff went on disability and instead of returning to us, went to work for Dr. Judy, saying the hours were shorter and there would be less stress. This same doctor is getting married next month.

The owner of our practice was extremely disappointed that she left us and decided not to attend the wedding. However, I have remained good friends with her.

Should I attend her wedding, possibly offending my colleague whom I respect a great deal? Or should I politely decline and send a gift? — Not Sure What To Do Dear Not Sure: Your colleague has not given you any ultimatums and isn't likely to do anything to antagonize those physicians who are still loyal to the practice. You are entitled to have a life outside of the office.

If you want to attend the wedding, by all means go.

Dear Annie: I read the letter from "Lonesome," the 65-year-old single woman who complained that she didn't have any friends to shop or have lunch with. I was doing OK with that letter until she said, "Senior groups are 10 years too old for me." It's no wonder she has no friends.

I'm 60. One of my best friends died last year at the age of 87. I knew her for four years and was lucky to know her. It did not matter how old she was. She had a great sense of humor and was full of life.

Every precious minute I spent with her was a gift. Maybe "Lonesome" should rethink what it means to be a friend. — Honored To Have Known Her Dear Honored: We completely agree that age should not be a factor in choosing one's friends.

Whether older or younger, one can find shared interests and true camaraderie.

SUDOKU PUZZLE

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

MONDAY’S SOLUTION:

HINTS FROM HELOISE

Is kosher salt OK when baking bread?

Dear Heloise: I’ve always wanted to know, since a lot of recipes call for salt or kosher salt, what is the difference? Do the two salts differ in times of bread rising? Please explain. — Anna in Virginia There isn’t really a difference between types of kitchen salt, as the main ingredient is sodium chloride. However, there is a difference in the processing.

Table salt usually has calcium silicate added to keep it from sticking and clumping together. It can be bought either plain or with iodine added. Kosher salt is named for the koshering process and has no added preservatives.

With larger crystals than table

Hints from Heloise Columnist salt, cooking with this salt means you can use less for the same salt taste. What will affect bread rising is whether you use salt at all, since salt is used to flavor bread and slow down the yeast. If you don’t add it, the bread will rise too quickly and may not taste as good.

— Heloise P.S.: Always check the recipe,

and you can call your county extension agent (found in your phone book under “County Listings”) for help.

DISH-DRAINER CLEANING Dear Heloise: Regarding the column recently where a woman said she uses a brush to clean her dish-drying rack: I put my dish rack and sink mat in the dishwasher when they need it. They come out clean and sanitized, though the setting needs to be for “no high-heat dry cycle.” — Jane, Prescott, Ariz.

NOT THERE? Dear Heloise: Just in case you need some funny stories: I had a case of the disappearing small,

round hash browns. Being a bachelor with few culinary skills, I thought I would fix some. I got the cookie sheet, tore open a new bag of tots, sprinkled some and slid the sheet into the oven. About 15 minutes later, I opened the door to see if they were crisp enough, and they were gone! The cookie sheet was there with nothing on it!

What the heck? I checked the freezer. The bag was still unopened, but the new bag of crushed ice was torn open! I had sprinkled ice cubes on the cookie sheet instead of hash browns! — Steve, Hutchinson, Kan. Steve, I don’t know if I’d tell the story on myself — kidding! Glad you wrote it. — Heloise

ARLO AND JANIS

HOROSCOPE Wednesday, Oct. 5, 2011 Certain groups or individuals who have never been lucky for you previously might prove to be so in coming months, in more ways than one. Treat everyone with consideration, because you never know who will be doing you a favor.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — If you haven’t been getting the exercise you know you need, take a little time to do so. You don’t have to do anything exhausting; merely walking the dog could help a lot.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Timing is always important, so you should pace yourself well when it comes to handling matters that depend upon the work of others. Only then can you bring all your forces into play.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — You’ll operate best when you’re able to just coast along, until you’re required to bring the full brunt of your imagination and ingenuity to bear.

Timing can be everything.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — If you’re splitting responsibilities with your spouse, make sure you get finances on your side of the ledger. Your ideas on getting fiscal are likely to be much more resourceful and clever.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — There could be a mystique about you that will fascinate almost everyone you deal with. This appeal makes it easier to gain the acceptance of others.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — Although it was never your intention to make others feel indebted to you, someone you recently did a favor for wants to reciprocate your kindness.

Be a gracious receiver.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) — You’re full of bright ideas to begin with, but you might have far more than usual.

Unless you jot them down the moment you conceive them, they’ll vanish into the ether.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — The only way you are likely to get anything done is to zero in on your objectives. If you don’t, your head could wander all over the place, causing you to easily get sidetracked.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — Your ability to absorb and retain new knowledge is remarkable, especially if you’re passing it on to those who need it but don’t have the means to get it.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) — For good reason, people trust you and feel that it’s safe to tell you things that they wouldn’t tell others. This should make you proud, and inspire you to live up to their estimation of you.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Instead of seeing only the faults or weaknesses in the ideas of others, look for what is good and praiseworthy. You’ll be amazed at how fast you’ll gain others’ support when you do so.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — The secret of gaining a few strides on your rivals is to put their needs on par with your own requirements. When you look for solutions for others, you’ll find your own.

205 Business Opportunities

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

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

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

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

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

Troy coach Richard Phillips has one thing to say to his Trojans if they’re going to once again grab a share of the Greater Western Ohio Conference North Division title.

They have to want it — and fight to get it.

Tuesday, though, Troy ran into a team trying to rebound from a disappointing league loss in Butler, and the Aviators outworked the Trojans at every turn in a 4-1 Troy loss at Troy Memorial Stadium.

“We just got outplayed tonight. They wanted it more than we did,” Phillips said. “We told the kids at the half that pride can only take you so far,

TROY that at some point heart takes over and you have to fight for it.

No one is going to just give us anything. We have to want it.

“Tonight, we just didn’t want it bad enough.”

Don’t tell that to Troy keeper Eric Meier, though.

Under heavy fire all night long, the senior goalie made seven outstanding saves — and will likely be just as bruised as his teammates in the field after a long, physical game. Meier made a couple of diving stops, as well as coming out to challenge Butler strikers — and even plowing into them twice in two of the game’s heavier collisions.

But the Aviators (7-2-3, 2-1)

Trojans ■ CONTINUED FROM 13 used their speed on the outside to set up deadly combination plays as well as solid set plays off of direct kicks and corners. With 30:59 left in the first half, Ben Dumler sent a corner to the far side of the field, where Zenus Franklin headed it in on a play no one had a chance to stop to make it 1-0.

Troy (6-7-1, 2-1) fought though.

Kyle back, Zimmerman made a solid

defensive play and sent the ball up to Robert Stump, who played it diagonally across the field to Kyle Nelson. Nelson attempted to send a cross in front of the goal, but the Butler keeper dove to intercept — and the ball deflected in off of him to tie the score with 13:55 to go.

But Butler answered right back on another corner kick. This time, the ball sat still in the middle of the field

as both teams slugged it out for possession, and Michael McGraw was able to sneak it out from the pile and stick it in the open net for a 2-1 lead with 11:57 left in the half. And with three minutes to go, McGraw again put a loose ball home, this time on a direct kick after one of many foul calls that went both ways in the rough-and-tumble game.

“They (Butler) played hard, they played physical

■ Tennis

and they went after every ball,” Phillips said. “They just played a better game than we did tonight.”

Troy had a number of chances to connect in the first half — twice on crosses to the far post that could have been one-touched in had the player on the other end of the pass gotten there one second sooner — and the Trojans came out with renewed energy early in the second half. But they again

whiffed on a one-time attempt and couldn’t come away with anything on the ensuing corner kick, and Franklin finished off a cross in transition with 26:22 to play to make it 4-1 and seal it.

But the league race is already looking familiar to last year. Butler lost to Sidney 1-0, so if Troy can knock off the YellowJackets next week — as they did last year after a loss to Butler —

and avoid tripping up against Piqua, the three teams would once again share the championship.

“The next two games are big for us — and they’re up to us,” Phillips said. “If we go out, play hard and want it, it can happen. But no one is just going to let us have it.

No one is going to give it to us. We know the kids can do it. They know they can do it.

We just have to go out and do it every night.”

More trouble for 3 Buckeyes

Golf

COLUMBUS (AP) — Ohio State is in trouble with the NCAA again, this time because three Buckeyes players including two who have already been sitting out for taking cash and free tattoos accepted too much money for too little work in their summer jobs.

Last year’s leading rusher, Daniel Herron, and the top returning receiver, DeVier Posey, along with offensive lineman Marcus Hall will not be permitted to play when the Buckeyes play at No. 14 Nebraska on Saturday.

Athletic Director Gene Smith insisted at a Monday afternoon news conference that there was no “systemic” problem at Ohio State, which has admitted to having several players involved in different NCAA violations over the past 10 months.

He blamed it all on the athletes, former coach Jim Tressel and a booster who on Monday was banned from further contact with

the Buckeyes.

“These failures are individual failures: failures of individual athletes, and as you know unfortunately a previous coach, and a booster,” Smith said when asked if the latest violations will lead to more serious institutional charges of lack of control and failure to monitor from the NCAA. “So it’s not a systemic failure of compliance. I’m optimistic and I’m confident that we will not have those charges.”

Herron and Posey had five-game suspensions extended. They were expected to be reinstated to play this week but now Ohio State is hoping the NCAA might allow them back on the field for the seventh game.

Hall was suspended for the first time.

Two other players also were overpaid for the summer work, which included working at a car wash or picking up scrap metal.

■ CONTINUED FROM 13 by all of the players.”

Troy’s girls fared well in their return to sectional play, finishing eighth out of 16 teams with a 423.

Last season, the Trojans missed the sectional tournament due to a scheduling mistake.

“For every one of these kids, it was their first time playing in the sectional.

They were very nervous,” Troy coach Eric Nawroth said. “To shoot some of our best 18-hole scores of the year, it was good to see.”

Allison Brown led the Trojans with a 102, Caitlin Dowling shot a 105, Morgan McKinney added a 106, Caroline Elsass-Smith shot a 110 and Yuki Watanabe added a 111.

“We shot very well on a tough golf course,” Nawroth said. “It was definitely a challenge. We’re looking forward to seeing how we can build on this next year.”

Centerville won in the team standings with a score of 359, Northmont was third (378) and Beavercreek was fourth (392).

Victoria King and Kerrie Josefovsky, both seniors, didn’t drop a set until they ran into Fetters and Finfrock in the quarterfinals.

After relatively easy wins over Kayla Pena (Urbana) and Shelby Shope (Dixie) by matching 6-0, 6-1 scores, Bennett, the No. 3 seed, faced unseeded Michelle Borgerding of Greenville in the go-to district match, winning 6-4, 63.

Beltre powers Texas past Rays ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — This is what Adrian Beltre envisioned when he signed with Texas in the offseason. Balls jumping off his bat in October, the Rangers making another run for the pennant.

Beltre hit three straight home runs and the defending AL champions advanced again, beating the Tampa Bay Rays 43 in Game 4 Tuesday to win their playoff matchup.

Beltre put on a power show that few players in major league history have matched, helping Texas take the best-of-five series and ending the Rays’ remarkable run to the wild-card spot.

The Rangers next play the Detroit Tigers-New York Yankees winner.

“From my point of view, Texas gave me the best chance to put a ring on my finger,” Beltre added, “and I am just two steps away from it. Hopefully that happens.”

Ian Kinsler led off the game for Texas by homering on the second pitch from rookie Jeremy

Texas Rangers manager Ron Washington, right, congratulates Adrian Beltre (29) after Beltre hit his second home run of the game in the fourth inning against the Tampa Bay Rays Tuesday in St. Petersburg, Fla. Hellickson.

Then it was Beltre’s turn. He came into the game in an 1-for-11 slump in this series before breaking loose.

Maybe Beltre’s best day as a pro.

“I think besides my first big league hit, this is right up there,” said the slugger, who spent last season with the Boston Red Sox. He’s back in the postseason for

the first time since 2004, when he was with the Los Angeles Dodgers.

It was the seventh time a player has homered three times in a postseason game Adam Kennedy was the last to do it, for the Angels in 2002. Babe Ruth did it twice, while Reggie Jackson, George Brett and Bob Robertson also are on the list.

Beltre connected in his

first three at-bats. Given a chance to tie the big league record of four homers in a game, he hit a routine flyout in the eighth against Wade Davis.

Phillies 3, Cardinals 2 ST. LOUIS — Charlie Manuel guessed right, twice.

Tony La Russa, well, he wound up getting secondguessed. And on his 67th birthday.

Pinch-hitter Ben Francisco and closer Ryan Madson made their manager’s moves look smart, and the Philadelphia Phillies held off the St. Louis Cardinals 3-2 Tuesday for a 2-1 lead in their NL playoff series.

Francisco batted for Cole Hamels and broke open a scoreless game with a two-out, three-run homer off Jaime Garcia in the seventh inning. The Cardinals stuck with Garcia instead of opting for a pinch-hitter with two on and two outs in the sixth. Garcia struck out, then lost his pitching touch.

Season in trouble NEW YORK (AP) — National Basketball Association owners and players failed again Tuesday to get close to a labor deal, and union president Derek Fisher says he anticipates the remainder of the preseason will be canceled.

Regular-season games could follow soon afterward, with talks breaking down and no meetings scheduled players’ association executive director Billy Hunter said the next could be even a month or two months away.

Players had offered to reduce their guarantee of basketball-related income from 57 to 53 percent, which they said would have given owners back more than $1 billion over six years. But they said the owners’ last proposal had them at 47 percent.

1 dead, several hurt in dust storm pileups

Bethel court announced

Bethel High School recently announced its 2011 homecoming court. Seniors among the court include from left: Melissa Wilmoth, Jonathan Ellerbrock, Krista Burchett, Colin Hoke, Kim Williams, Benjamin McIntosh, Brooke Moore, Austin Staggs, Hannah Figlestahler, Reed Pelphrey, the underclassmen include: Jenna Barney, Michael Green, Katie Laycock, Patrick Bain, Katie Gilbride and Corey Allen. The Homecoming ceremony will begin at 6:15 Friday prior to the homecoming football game against National Trail. A dance is scheduled for Saturday at the high school gymnasium from 8 to 11 p.m.

PHOENIX (AP) — A blinding dust storm rolled across the Arizona desert Tuesday, causing three pileups involving dozens of vehicles on a major interstate. A 70-year-old man was killed and at least 15 other people were injured, authorities said.

The first two crashes occurred just after noon as a dust storm suddenly covered Interstate 10 near Picacho, about midway between Phoenix and Tucson.

Those collisions involved 16 vehicles and led to the fatality.

Video showed dust roiling over dozens of cars, tractor-trailers and ambulances pulled over or strewn about the highway.

Authorities were unable to transport injured motorists by helicopter because of the heavy dust.

“It looked like a war zone,” Patrick Calhoun, one of the first rescuers to responder to the scene, told The Associated Press. “This has been one of the worst pileups we’ve had on the I-10.”

Calhoun, with the Avra Valley Fire District, said the man who died was in the passenger seat of a car driven by his wife.

Their car had slammed into the back of a semi and was lodged underneath it, killing the man almost instantly and leaving the woman critically injured in a semiconscious state of shock.

Calhoun said it took 45 minutes to

hook up winches to the vehicle, pull it out and then cut the woman out of the car to take her to a hospital.

A second vehicle also was lodged under a semi, Calhoun said, and two people were extricated in a similar manner before being taken to a hospital.

A third pileup occurred almost two hours later on I-10 just north of Casa Grande and involved eight vehicles. No one was killed in that collision; two people had serious but non-life-threatening injuries, Graves said.

Katie Maass, a spokeswoman at University Medical Center in Tucson, said the hospital was treating 12 patients involved in the collisions. Three were listed as critical and the other nine were in serious condition as of Tuesday evening.

Authorities closed the interstate for most of the afternoon. They reopened the eastbound lanes around 5:45 p.m., but there was no estimate when the westbound lanes would be reopened.

Two other crashes later in the day likely were the result of dust, authorities said.

A crash involving two tractor-trailers and a small car on I-10 near the Gila River Indian Community south of Phoenix seriously injured two people. Another crash on I-10 near Tonopah, west of Phoenix, didn’t involve major injuries, authorities said.
