SIRTE, Libya (AP) — Libyan revolutionary forces claimed to have captured parts of a sprawling convention center that loyalists of Moammar Gadhafi have used as their main base in the ousted leader’s hometown and were shelling the city to try to rout snipers from rooftops in their offensive aimed at crushing this key bastion of the old STAFF PHOTO/ANTHONY WEBER regime. First Lutheran Church Pastor Ric Barnes stands outside the church Friday in Troy. The inability to take Sirte, the most important remaining stronghold of Gadhafi supporters, more than six weeks after the capital fell has stalled efforts by Libya’s new leaders to set a timeline for elections and move forward with a transition to democracy.

The ongoing investigation of school cafeterias’ mystery meat has been solved: it’s turkey. Ohio school lunches have undergone a makeover this year, shedding high-calorie and sugar-filled options. Gone are the large portions of ice cream and cookies and in their place are fresh fruit, including apples, bananas and even fresh cut can1 taloupe.

All these changes are due to the Ohio Legislation’s Senate Bill 210, which went into effect July 1.

90TH BIRTHDAY

Ball to celebrate 90th birthday TAVARES, Fla. — Walter “Dan” Ball will celebrate his 90th birthday Oct. 10, 2011. Friends and family that love him and remember spending time with him may send him a card in celebration at 12822 Lake Dora Circle, Tavares, FL 327784230. His children include Sharon Wilt, Bruce Ball, Jim Ball and the late Lee Ball.

COLLEGE BRIEFS

Ashland University ASHLAND — Tyler Franz of Fletcher is a member of the Exercise Science Club at Ashland University. Franz is majoring in exercise science. Franz is the son of Paul and Janet Adducchio of Fletcher and is a 2010 graduate of Miami East High School. He is majoring in exercise science. The Exercise Science Club is an organization for Exercise Science majors and any nonmajors interested in the topic. Together they meet bi-weekly and either plan an event or have an event going on. Some events include wally-ball night, free fitness testing, and bringing in professional speakers. Each year they participate in a community service project.

Milk does a body good, and now it’s skim or 1 percent in all flavors. “Troy has had skim milk for several years, yet now we offer skim chocolate milk and skim strawberry milk — so now it’s all totally skim,” Babcock said. Even the pizza has received a healthy makeover. “The pepperoni is turkey pepperoni and the crust is whole-grains and the cheese is skim mozzarella,” Babcock said. “And the kids love it and they are eating healthy.” Babcock said many of the changes, including the elimination of Troy City’s Schools’ famous made-from-scratch cookies, haven’t been too hard to swallow for the kids. “For the most part, we haven’t heard too many complaints, other than ‘Where’s the cookies?’” Babcock said. “They are getting a fresh fruit option every day, whether its an apple, orange, banana and we have fresh-cut cantaloupe — it’s going very well.” Troy Junior High School eighth grade student Errica Block said she’s noticed the cafeteria changes immediately. “We lost the cookies and the big ice creams and we get less fries,” Block said. “There’s different chips, but it’s OK.” Babcock said at least at Troy High School, the plate count has gone up so far this fall. “Troy has always been on the cutting edge in food service and providing healthy options,” she said. Babcock said the next step in upgrading the healthy options will be whole grain pasta and switching all grains to whole grains.

But they were meeting heavy resistance from villas behind the building so were focusing on firing artillery from the outskirts. “After the intensive shelling, we will move forward,” he said. A military spokesman in Tripoli, Abdul-Rahman Busin, and several commanders and fighters confirmed the center was under control of revolutionary forces. “We have passed the area and we moved on to the residential area behind it,” brigade commander Musbah Alhadar said. “Our forces are camping around the center because the center itself has been destroyed by the NATO airstrikes and our artillery.” Seizing the convention center complex, named after the capital of the West African nation of Burkino Faso, would be a significant gain for the attackers.

the walled complex as a base and stronghold. From there they were able to dominate surrounding neighborhoods and assault revolutionaries trying to enter Sirte. Anti-Gadhafi forces also have surrounded the central Green Square and a presidential palace after fierce street fighting in the heart of the city. Loyalist forces have been driven away from Ibn Sina Hospital where hundreds of civilians have sought refuge from the fighting, according to another commander, Suleiman Ali. NATO warplanes flew overhead but no strikes were immediately reported. Abdul-Jalil, meanwhile, called on the international community to help Libyans treat the wounded, saying they could deduct the cost from Libyan assets that were frozen under Gadhafi’s regime. The international community has rallied around Libya’s efforts to move forward with forming a new government, with transitional leaders promising elections within eight months after liberation is declared.

The Reverend John Bradosky, the newly elected Bishop of the North American Lutheran Church, is making a visit to help celebrate at the 9:30 a.m. service on Sunday, Oct. 16, at Troy First Lutheran Church. Bradosky, 59, was installed as bishop in August after a vote by 800 NALC members at a national convocation in Hilliard, Ohio. A Pennsylvania native, he had served as Pastor of Epiphany Lutheran Church in Centerville, south of Dayton, and also as the NALC General Secretary prior to being selected as NALC Bishop. “We’re very excited and honored to have Bishop Bradosky come to Troy First Lutheran Church,” church council vice-president Pru Schaefer said last week. Troy First Lutheran Church is located at 2899 W. Main St. For more information, call (937) 3352323

How it began The North American Lutheran Church began in 2010 after a schism with the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America. It bills itself as the fastestgrowing Christian Church body in the Lutheran tradition, with more than

generation. “For the last 20 years (with the ELCA), that’s been in decline,” Barnes said. In a group interview Thursday, Barnes, Watkins and Hollenbacher and church council vice-president Pru Schaefer also objected to the fact that the 2009 decision on gay clergy was mandated, rather than voted on by ELCA congregations. And “the kicker” was that the ELCA’s action struck down a policy that allowed gay and lesbian clergy to serve but required them to remain celibate, Watkins said. “It was deeper than just allowing gay clergy. Now it allows gay clergy that are sexually active,” he said. Watkins and Schaefer said First Lutheran, which counts approximately 240 active members, had a small number of members — they estimate less than a dozen — leave as a result of the church’s January 9 vote and April reaffirmation. “But we had some members who said (the vote to leave the ELCA) was overdue,” Schaeffer said. Overall, the move from the ELCA to the NALC “is going to make us stronger,” Schaefer said, a comment seconded by Watkins, Hollenbacher and Barnes. “It was absolutely the right thing to do,” Barnes said

Question: Will the Troy football team make the playoffs? Watch for final poll results in next Sunday’s Miami

Valley Sunday News. Last week’s question: Do you participate in online polls? Results: Yes: 67% No:

33% 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 Blade, Toledo, Ohio on teen drivers: More than 4,000 teenagers die each year in automobile accidents. Many of these deaths are preventable. That is the intent of a bill before Congress that would create a national standard to prepare young people to become safe drivers. According to the Federal Highway Administration, more teens are putting off getting a driver’s license until they turn 18, or even 19. Fewer budget-constrained schools offer driver’s education classes, and private classes are expensive Parents must be the first line of defense. They are in the best position to know when their son or daughter is mature and experienced enough to accept the responsibility of driving. A reasonable national standard — preferably not enforced through the threat of federal highway funds withheld from states — would empower parents to make the correct decision. The bill before Congress may be too lenient. It sets the age for a learner’s permit at 16 and restricts nighttime driving until the age of 18. Neither provision will reduce the fatality rate among older first-time drivers. A better alternative would encourage driver’s education classes for all new drivers, regardless of age. It would tie the removal of restrictions to accident-free completion of a probationary period, not a calendar age. Charleston (W.Va.) Gazette on Appalachian coal: Politicians and mining groups love to boast that West Virginia has enough coal to power America for another 200 years. But snowballing research tells a totally different story. The central Appalachian coal field — chiefly southern West Virginia and eastern Kentucky — is exhausting its easy-to-mine coal, and production is dropping swiftly, the U.S. Department of energy reports. … The rapid decrease is occurring chiefly because quick-and-easy seams are running out. Mining thin-and-difficult seams costs more, so the region can’t compete with cheap coal from the Powder River Basin in Wyoming and Montana or cheap gas from Marcellus Shale drilling. Extracting coal from thin-and-difficult seams causes more environmental devastation, running afoul of nature-protecting laws. Various West Virginia leaders accuse federal pollution regulators of damaging the coal industry. They sued the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and want to gut the EPA in Congress. But actually, nature damage isn’t the main problem. The coal industry simply faces an end to inexpensive options. … For decades, economists have warned that West Virginia must seek a wider variety of industries and businesses, because the days of coal are numbered. These new research findings indicate that state leaders should redouble their effort to diversify — quickly. The Post and Courier of Charleston on U.S.-Pakistan relations: America’s top military officer, on the eve of his retirement, has brought into the open a long-festering conflict between Pakistan and the United States that has recently turned very nasty. The question now is what the Obama administration and Congress can do about it, and at what risk to the U.S. mission in Afghanistan. … Legislation has already been introduced in the House to deny financial aid to Pakistan unless it reforms. Adm. Mike Mullen, the departing chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, openly discussed the conflict in Senate testimony. Describing recent lethal attacks against a hotel in Kabul, a NATO base and thea U.S. Embassy in Kabul, Adm. Mullen said they were carried out by the Pakistan-based Haqqani organization with support from the Pakistan intelligence agency ISI. White House spokesman Jay Carney called on Pakistan to take “strong and immediate action” against the Haqqani network. Pakistan responded that any military action by the U.S. against the Haqqani network in Pakistan would be a violation of Pakistani sovereignty. … But Mullen’s statement is a signal that the U.S. no longer feels constrained by its need for Pakistani cooperation, as much as our leaders would like to have it. Mullen’s remarks are a clear signal that the U.S. is ready to counter Pakistani provocations. We also must be ready to take effective unilateral action against terrorists operating from Pakistan.

THEY SAID IT “This wasn’t about me — this was about me and my ‘brothers’ on this team. I’m just glad to be a part of this.” — Troy High School football team halfback Isaiah Williams, after being named the game’s MVP in a 27-7 win over rival Piqua “This was a great team effort. Our defense has played so well the past two weeks. We came out and we shut them down — which we figured we would need to do, because Piqua’s defense is so good.” — Troy football coach Steve Nolan on the win over Piqua “Things got started on the wrong foot. We just seemed out of sync at times and made some uncharacteristic mistakes.” — Piqua football coach Bill Nees on the loss to Troy

ESPN made mistake (of sorts) axing intro Troy Are you ready for … No. No more jokes abusing that dumb line. It’s always silly when sports and entertainment collide (just watch any terrible Super Bowl halftime show for proof of that). And it’s even worse when sports and politics mix. Monday Night Football’s recipe combining all three, however, left a particularly bad taste in my mouth. The people over at ESPN — which have been turning the “sports leader” into more of a TMZ tabloidstyle network than a sports highlights one for years now — decided to pull country singer Hank Williams Jr.’s long-running MNF intro song “Are You Ready for Some Football?” from Monday’s broadcast and, depending on who you ask, Williams Jr. was either fired from or quit his role in the show’s intro from here on out. Aside from the fact that a football game doesn’t actually need a musical intro (for Pete’s sake, NBC, get rid of that awful MNF intro knockoff that Faith Hill does!), why did ESPN make the change? Something Williams Jr. said. Granted it was something incredibly stupid that he said — comparing President Barack Obama to Adolph Hitler on national TV

Josh Brown Sunday Columnist (guess on which channel?). But in America, where the First Amendment is the foundation of every right we, the people, have, it just seems like a really dumb decision by ESPN. Now, don’t get me wrong. I don’t misunderstand the First Amendment like Williams Jr. does. He tweeted that ESPN “stepped on the Toes of The First Amendment Freedom of Speech, so therefore Me, My Song and All My Rowdy Friends are OUT OF HERE.” But ESPN was well within its right to do what it did. The First Amendment protects us against government censorship. Private corporations — which actually have all the rights and power in the country that we, the people, should have but don’t if you

ask all those people protesting on Wall Street and around the country — however, make their own rules when it comes to what their employees can and can’t say. And since Williams Jr.’s comments didn’t fall in line with ESPN’s political stance, he was let go. It’s just sad that they did, though. As journalists, they should welcome any and every opinion — even crazy, misguided, intentionallyinflammatory ones — and use them to further an intelligent debate. Instead, they stamped out the messenger and his message. As lame as his song is, I’m on Williams Jr.’s side. His comments didn’t even come on the network he worked for, but rather on Fox News’ “Fox and Friends” (good guess!). Attempting to make a point about how Obama and Republican Rep. John Boehner playing golf during the height of the government shutdown crisis was like the worst of enemies playing nice, he said “It’d be like Hitler playing golf with (Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin) Netanyahu.” Not that it was the first time Obama has been compared to Hitler on Fox News. Nor will it be the last. Personally, I think Williams Jr. could have made his point by using

a less extreme, more funny and relatable metaphor. Maybe instead, he could have said Obama was like Boss Hogg and Boehner was Uncle Jessie, and they were out tossing horseshoes. And then Rick Parry (spelled intentionally wrong) and Mitt Romney as Bo and Luke Duke could have jumped over them in the General Lee, Obama-Hogg could have shook his fist at them and all of our economic problems would have been solved. It’s a lot more sensible than Parry’s “day of prayer” silliness. One way or another, Williams’ Jr. had every right to say what he did if he believed it. And the folks at ESPN, unfortunately, had the right to can him for it even though they shouldn’t have exercised it. It should be about the football, after all. Not anyone’s personal politics. Which, of course, means football fans shouldn’t have been subjected to an overproduced headache of a musical intro in the first place.

LUNCH MENUS

Protestors speak out on politics, war and economy NEW YORK (AP) — As other protesters chanted vigorously around her, Nancy Pi-Sunyer stood off to the side at the Occupy Wall Street rally, clutching her sign, looking a little like a new teacher on the first day of school. In a way, she was: At 66, this retired teacher was joining a protest for the first time in her life. “I was too young for the civil rights movement,” Pi-Sunyer said earlier this week as she joined thousands of protesters marching in lower Manhattan. “And during the Vietnam War, I was too serious a student. Now, I just want to stand up and have my voice be heard.” As the protests have expanded and gained support from new sources, what began three weeks ago as a group of mostly young people camping out on the streets has morphed into something different: an umbrella movement for people of varying ages, life situations and grievances, some of them first-time protesters. There are a few common denominators among the protesters: their position on the left of the political spectrum, and the view that the majority in America the “99 percent,” in their words isn’t getting a fair shake. Beyond that, though, there’s a diversity of age, gender and race in part due to the recent injection of labor union support, and fueled by social networks that is striking to some who study social protests. “Most people think this is a bunch of idealistic young kids,” said Heather Gautney, a sociology professor at Fordham University and an analyst of social protests. “But the wider movement is remarkably more diverse than it’s been portrayed. I’ve seen a lot of first-time protesters, nurses, librarians. At one protest, the younger element seemed actually to be in the minority.” Pi-Sunyer, who lives in Montclair, N.J., was drawn into the fray on Wednesday the same way many were via social networks. She saw a post from a friend on Facebook and realized it was time to join. “I just decided to get off the couch and be in control,” she said, holding a hand-lettered sign that read: “Wise OWLS Seek Economic Justice 4 All.” (OWLS was a play on the initials for Occupy Wall Street with an “l” for little people.) “I was oblivious before. I can’t be oblivious now.” Nearby, a speaker in lower Manhattan’s Foley Square yelled into a microphone: “I’m tired of sticking my hand in my pocket, and only getting my leg!” The so-called “Granny Brigade” pulled out guitars and played a song. The crowd milled, bearing an endless variety of signs: “Make Banks Pay!” ”Corporate Greed is Not Patriotic!” ”Give My Professor Health Insurance, Please!” ”Food is A Basic Human Right!” ”Bernanke Burnout!” An optimistic one: “This Is The First Time I’ve Felt Hopeful In a Long Time!” And a pessimistic one: “Even My Union is Corrupt!” Cherie Walters wasn’t carrying a sign she WAS a sign. Both the front and back of her shirt were covered in scrawled slogans.

Anarae Silverwillow 35, a mother of two who works three to four part time jobs walks with her homemade sign as more than a thousand demonstrators gathered in Indianapolis on Saturday for Occupy Indy, a protest against everything from bank foreclosures and corporate influence in politics to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and unemployment. “I came here from MICHIGAN because the top 20 percent are waging class warfare against the rest of the U.S.,” it read in part. Walters, 58, also a former teacher, had driven all the way from Michigan with her husband, Rich. Her biggest gripe: credit card swipe fees, which she said were killing smaller businesses. She also was concerned about unemployment in her home state. “I’m very angry at how poverty is degrading our people,” she said. As she spoke, a much younger protester interrupted her to hand her a leaflet on health care reform. The couple, who’d been following the protests all week, getting updates via Facebook and Twitter (and posting their own video on YouTube), complained that protesters had been described by others as unruly mobs or young troublemakers. Did she look like a young troublemaker, Walters asked? (At least there was a silver lining, she quipped: It was flattering to be described as young.) Both Cherie and Rich Walters had protested during the Vietnam War, as students at Central Michigan University. Compared with those anti-war protests, she said, this one was way more diverse “different ages, colors, even languages,” she said. Legal Aid lawyer Steve Wasserman, 63, who joined Wednesday’s march with his union and remembered his Vietnam protesting days, agreed. “The old left was very male-dominated,” he said.

Such diversity is what organizers were hoping for, said Patrick Bruner, spokesman for Occupy Wall Street. Since launching the protests in midSeptember with a group of mostly young activists, “we’ve made a concerted effort to diversify our group,” he said, with an outreach committee and caucus groups for people of color, for example, or for women. “We’ve gradually seen our message resonate with different groups of people.” Organizers also have been encouraging people to tell their stories in a virtual protest on tumblr, the social network, spotlighting people of different backgrounds, each tale of economic hardship ending with: “I am the 99 percent.” Experts say the role of social networks in building and organizing these protests, like in the recent revolt in Egypt, can’t be overstated. “I’ve been studying and attending protests for a decade, and Facebook is the most effective organizing tool I have ever encountered,” said Michael Heaney, a professor at the University of Michigan. What the movement doesn’t have right now, these experts note, are the same concrete goals of some past social movements a lack that many demonstrators seem to be embracing, at least for the moment. “We’re a broad range everyone’s affected in a different way,” said John Crisano, 27, who’d answered a call for college students to attend Wednesday’s protest. “But we’re all here because we’re upset at the way the government is being run.”

attorney repeatedly invoked the Fifth Amendment.

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Casey Anthony has taken a videotaped deposition for a civil lawsuit that accuses her of ruining another woman’s reputation. Attorneys for Zenaida Gonzalez used videoconferencing Saturday to question Anthony, who was at an undisclosed location in Florida. Anthony told detectives in 2008 that her 2-year-old daughter, Caylee, was kidnapped by a nanny named Zenaida Gonzalez. Detectives said no such baby sitter existed. A woman with that name sued Anthony, claiming her reputation was ruined. Anthony was acquitted of killing Caylee and released from jail in July. She is now serving probation on an unrelated charge at an undisclosed location in Florida. John Morgan, an attorney for Gonzalez, told The Orlando Sentinel that Anthony answered few questions and that her

Mass. church shot during Revolution gets overhaul CAMBRIDGE, Mass. — A Massachusetts church that took a bullet during the American Revolution and later hosted the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. is getting a restoration to extend its already long life. Christ Church Cambridge is marking its 250th anniversary this month by completing a painstaking renovation to its exterior. The church has survived some tough historic times. It was founded by supporters of the British monarchy who were forced to flee as the Revolution approached. In 1778, the church was ransacked, then abandoned and exposed to the elements for years. But the church reopened, later hosting a Sunday School teacher named Teddy Roosevelt and a press conference in which King denounced the Vietnam War.

The big debate

Ashley’s Boutique opens on Main St.

iTunes great for Apple, but was it for music biz? NEW YORK (AP) — When Apple rolled out iTunes for the masses in the spring of 2003, the music industry was at a point of transition and chaos. Entering the new millennium, albums were enjoying blockbuster sales of several million units for its superstar artists, and profits were booming. Yet the threat of Napster and other forms of illegal downloading threatened to eviscerate those profits as many music fans were starting to get used to the idea that music, and loads of it, could be free. Apple’s iTunes entered into that landscape with a concept that wasn’t exactly new: a system where you could pay for songs online. Yet iTunes, with its simple interface, its simple concept — 99 cents per song — and revolutionary MP3 device, the iPod, made it the golden standard. The entry of Apple and its leader, Steve Jobs, who died Wednesday, into the music world was more than a success it was a phenomenon. Today, iTunes is the largest music retailer, has redefined the listening experience and has largely become the way that music is consumed. What’s less clear is how much the music industry which is continuing to decline has benefited. Even today, consensus is mixed. “It really did remind an entire industry, and gave a cue to even a culture beyond the industry that if you provided music in a convenient, direct way and responded to the consumers’ interest and demands, they would in fact buy it, especially if it was priced appropriately,” said James Diener, CEO and President of A&M/Octone Records. “It forced change in a positive way. People who are critical of what iTunes may have done perhaps have short memories and don’t realize that the alternative at the time was that an enormous amount of music was leaking onto the Internet and being consumed for free,” Diener added. “The alternative was to inspire people to buy music, and to go to a digital retail site. … That was a remarkable step forward.” Apple introduced iTunes in 2001, a few months before it would release the nowubiquitous iPod (which begat the iPod Nano, the iPhone, the iPad). At the time, it was not a music store but a ripand-burn library service

In this 2008 file photo, Apple CEO Steve Jobs talks about iTunes 8 at an event in San Francisco. only available for Mac users. It initially was viewed with great skepticism by record companies for its ability to make digital copies of music — something the industry thought would lead to piracy. The industry had a lot to protect. It was enjoying booming sales at the turn of the last century, fueled by the success of teen sensations like Britney Spears, the Backstreet Boys and ‘N Sync. But it was just starting to feel the effects of the illegal downloading era: The top-selling album of that year, Linkin Park’s “Hybrid Theory,” sold 4.8 million, down from 2000’s top-seller, ‘N Sync’s “No Strings Attached,” which sold almost 8 million a year before. “That was at the same time we were confronting Napster, we were confronting the beginnings of the global piracy epidemic that was to come,” said Jim Donio, president of the National Association of Recording Merchandisers, or NARM. “At the same moment of time, we were also experiencing the biggest weekly sales of all time. It was a very odd confluence of events, because you had the harbinger of immense challenges, but at the same time, reaping the rewards of incredible record breaking physical sales. It was heated, it was tense.”

When Apple’s iTunes became a full-service online music store in 2003, it offered more than 200,000 songs that could be loaded on your iPod and fully portable, all for 99 cents a download, no matter who the artist was (in recent years, it has allowed for more variation, with some singles now costing $1.29 per song). Bill Werde, editorial director at Billboard, said that while other services were available at the time, the genius of Jobs was making iTunes the ultimate consumer destination. “He created the retail experience that most people know now. He focused on the fan, he focused on the user experience, he didn’t focus on rights and complicated pricing schemes. He focused just on what would be simple and what would be easy for a music fan to do, and what would be good for a music fan to experience,” Werde said. “You look around today, we sell tens of millions of digital tracks each year,” he continued. “Given that Apple has an 80 percent, 70 percent market share in that digital space when it comes to downloads, you really see how important Apple has become in selling music to music fans.” Apple set the pricing, to the chagrin of the music industry, promoting parity

for singles and albums. “If you walked into a physical record store prior to iTunes … there was more confusion about what the value of what certain records were worth. You’d see one record that was a brand new release marked at $17.98, and then another one right next to it for $13.98, so there was a lot of clarity for iTunes,” Diener said. “I think what iTunes did, which was wise on their part and difficult necessarily for the industry to appreciate at first, was they just standardized all the pricing. … That was growing pains for the industry because they were used to having more control of the pricing of their products.” Diener believes that price standardization was one of the key reasons for iTunes’ success. But while iTunes was booming, the era also hastened the demise of traditional retail stores like Tower and Virgin. No longer did rabid fans need to form a line in front of a music store to get their favorite album, then play it once they got home; They could order it at home and listen instantaneously. In 2010, iTunes marked the sale of its 10 billionth song. Even longtime stalwarts have come to embrace iTunes: The Beatles’ catalog finally became available late last year.

Thai prime minister: Floods threaten Bangkok BANGKOK (AP) — Thailand’s prime minister is warning that rising floodwaters which have wreaked havoc across the nation are now threatening the capital, Bangkok, as the death toll from the worst monsoon rains in decades rose Saturday to 253. Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra said the flooding which has severed rail links with the north, shut dozens of highways and swamped ancient Buddhist temples in the city of Ayutthaya has reached a crisis level. Bangkok has so far been spared serious damage, but many fear it could be inundated as large amounts of water flows from submerged northern rice fields toward the Gulf of Thailand. That critical runoff is expected to be impeded by high ocean tides in mid-October, and Tropical Storm Nalgae is also forecast to bring new rain in the days ahead. In a radio message Saturday, Yingluck said authorities are hoping to ease the crisis by installing up to 400 water pumps along the Chao Phraya River, which snakes through Bangkok, to help push water to the sea. Seven canals will also be dug on the outskirts of the city, she said. Yingluck said government agencies are struggling to cope because “the water volume is extraordinary and is beyond expectations.” “It is now going to have a direct impact on Bangkok,” Yingluck said in a AP televised speech Friday. Bangkok Gov. Sukhumbhand A man pedals his bicycle in the flood in Ayutthaya province, central Thailand Paripatra said the situation in the capiSaturday.

tal where authorities have piled thousands of sandbags along the banks of rising rivers is currently under control. But he said he has ordered city officials to prepare for evacuations if necessary. The city government has also been stocking emergency supplies of food and water. Yingluck visited a pumping station on the outskirts of Bangkok on Saturday, and said she believes a series of drainage tunnels under the city will be able to handle the floods. The Department of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation said 253 people have been killed in the disaster, mostly from drowning, since a series of tropical storms began hitting Thailand at the end of July. It said 8 million people in 60 of the country’s 77 provinces have been affected by floods and mudslides during that time, and 3 million acres (1.2 million hectares) of agricultural land have been damaged. This past week in Ayutthaya, north of Bangkok, Japanese automobile giant Honda Motor Co. suspended production for one week after parts factories were submerged. At least 43 factories in one of the city’s industrial zones have shut down as rising waters damaged equipment and prevented nearly 15,000 workers from accessing the plants. The floods are proving a major test for Yingluck’s administration, which took office in July. The government has set up an emergency flood relief headquarters at the city’s Don Muang airport.

Officials slam U.S. report on Puerto Rico police SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) — Puerto Rico’s Justice Department has denounced a scathing U.S. federal report on the island’s police force even though the governor and other officials accepted the findings and pledged improvements. The territory’s attorneys attacked the federal findings in a court motion this week involving a police brutality suit brought by two university students. The motion, which was filed with Justice Secretary Guillermo Somoza’s name at the bottom, calls the 116-page federal report is unreliable, flawed and biased, and it says the

methodology used to reach its conclusion was “rather obscure.” Somoza told The Associated Press he was not initially aware of the motion and said he will file a new motion early Monday to remove what he says is inflammatory language. “I am accepting that the adjectives and characterizations do not reflect the department’s sentiments. … I am not satisfied by what she wrote,” he said, referring to the lawyer who submitted the motion in his name. Somoza is one of the officials who said earlier that the Caribbean territory is acting to solve problems

outlined in last month’s report by the U.S. Justice Department’s civil rights division. It alleged that the 17,000-officer police force has unnecessarily injured hundreds of people and killed numerous others and that it has routinely conducted illegal searches and seizures. Gov. Luis Fortuno said at the time that his administration has “recognized the same problems and we have a very similar vision.” He pledged to work with federal authorities on reforms. Federal prosecutors said the U.S. Justice Department would pursue a lawsuit if Puerto Rico does

not adhere to the report’s 133 recommendations. Somoza said the government has already started working on at least 100 of those recommendations. The U.S. Attorney’s Office also did not respond to requests for comment. In the new motion, Puerto Rican officials accuse federal prosecutors of manipulating information and portraying victims’ complaints against police as facts even when they are unconfirmed. “This is highly questionable of a report that intends to portray itself as holding the truth about the Puerto Rico Police Department,” the motion

states. William Ramirez, executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union in Puerto Rico, said he was concerned the criticism in the motion raises questions about whether the territory is committed to the reforms it has publicly embraced. “The Puerto Rico government needs to get its story straight,” he said. “Are they telling the truth that they’re going to cooperate? … Or are they going to fight the Department of Justice at every corner? That seems to be what’s happening.” The 15-page motion filed Thursday challenges an

attempt by the students’ attorney to use it to bolster their suit, which stems from a protest at the island’s Capitol last year. Their attorney, Judith Berkan, told The Associated Press that she mentioned the federal report in her court filings to demonstrate that her clients’ complaints are plausible. She said she is not seeking to present the report’s findings as evidence in court, as alleged by government attorneys. Somoza said the new motion he plans to submit will still argue that the federal report cannot be submitted as evidence.

A painful loss

9 October 9, 2011

Buckeyes squander 21-point lead Staff and Wire Reports No. 14 Nebraska scored 28 unanswered points in the third and fourth quarters, coming from behind to hand the Ohio State Buckeyes their second straight loss, 34-27. Ohio State quarterback Braxton Miller threw a touchdown pass to Jake Stoneburner, threw for 98 yards and ran for 91 yards —

Wayne edges Troy Troy Christian stays unbeaten with 3-0 win Staff Reports HUBER HEIGHTS — Troy is prepared for its final two Greater Western Ohio Conference North Division games. And even with a 1-0 loss at Wayne Saturday in crossover play, the Trojans are confident heading into Wednesday critical home matchup on Senior Night against Sidney. “Heading into probably the most important week of our season, we’re still playing well,” Troy coach Mike Rasey said. “We didn’t take a step back tonight. We’re right where we want to be.

Christian coach Jeff McDaniel said. “There is a guy from Emmanuel Christian that ran a 17:01, so he’s right around Kyle. But we think he has a good shot.” The Eagles placed 10th out of 20 teams in the boys race. Max Conover was the second runner to cross in 49th (18:29), while Mark Dillahunt came in 74th (18:56). Craig Helman placed 91st (19:28) and Blake Klingler was 116th (19:52). While the prospect of Klingler winning excites everybody at Troy Christian, its the MBC team title that everyone on the team wants. And coach McDaniel thinks there will be a battle for the top spot. “Its going to be a big race,” McDaniel said. “We’ve seen Xenia Christian at many big meets this year, and they usually finish a couple spots ahead of us. But this is probably the best team their school has ever had. We have just struggled to get caught up with them this year. Emmanual Christian also has a really tough team. It should be an exciting race.” Sarah Grady led the Troy Christian girls, which failed to field a team for the race. Grady ran a 22:44 to place 43rd, while Cassandra Mendez placed 73rd in a time of 24:34. Trish Latimer placed 115th, coming in with a time of 28:05. • Rocket Invite ANNA — The Covington boys

Trojans on a roll Big win over Piqua sets up bigger matchup at Trotwood BY DAVID FONG Executive Editor fong@tdnpublishing.com Some final notes from the Troy football team’s 277 win over Piqua Friday: • Player of the Game: Senior halfback Isaiah Williams had a career night for the Trojans. He carried the ball 10 times for 66 yards and two touchdowns and caught three passes for 78 yards — giving him 144 yards in total offense. His 60-yard catch from quarterback Cody May helped set up the Trojans’ second touchdown of the night.

TROY For his efforts, the media voted Williams The Great American Rivalry Series Most Valuable Player. “Isaiah had a great game,” Troy coach Steve Nolan said. “He ran hard, he caught the ball — and most important, he blocked his rear end off out there. It was just a great night for him.” • Play of the Game: On the third play of the game, junior defensive Devin Blakely back stepped in front of a Taylor Wellbaum pass, returning it to the Piqua 29 and setting up the Trojans’ first touchdown of the night. That play helped set the tone for a Troy defense that simply overwhelmed the Indians. “He read the quarterback perfectly,” Nolan said. “He’s really blossomed in that defensive back spot. That was a huge play for us. It’s always nice to get a big turnover like that early in the game. Momentum is such a huge part of every Troy-Piqua game — and he gave us a huge momentum boost early in the game.” • Unsung Hero of the Game (Offense): Fullback Zach Jones and halfback Nick James both came off the bench to help boost the Trojan offense. James was the Trojans’ leading rusher, carrying the ball six times for 67 yards. Jones added 66 yards on just seven carries. It had to have been particularly sweet for James, a senior, who has played only sparingly on varsity throughout his career — but has been coming on lately for the Trojans. “We put him on the scout team in practice this week and none of our starters could tackle him,” Nolan said. “He’s really starting to turn it on now. He’s got great speed. He gives us another weapon we can use for the rest of the season.” • Unsung Hero of the Game (Defense): Junior outside linebacker Ian Nadolny and senior defensive end Quentin Vaughan both spent much of Friday night in Piqua’s backfield.

The rest of the Buccs were Alex Schilling (27th, 18:04.8), Isaac Canan (87th, 19:40.3) and Dustin Fickert (96th, 19:53.3). “We ran really well today,” Covington coach Josh

That was by far his best time of the year.” Bethel’s Kyle Hamlin was the top area finisher, placing sixth in a time of 17:07.1, while his teammate Aarron Reed ended in 50th with a time of 18:43. Lehman’s Nick Elsner placed 39th (18:26.4) to help his team finish 16th overall (455 points), just ahead of Bradford, which ended in 17th (459).

Keselowski dominates at Kansas KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) — Brad Keselowski has a ready answer when fans ask him why he runs the Nationwide Series instead of concentrating solely on the Sprint Cup. It isn’t for the money, he says, and it isn’t for a chance to test for Cup competition. It’s so his Nationwide crew, led by Todd Gordon, won’t fall victim to the economic crunch that shadows even NASCAR’s moneymaking machine. Call it “Occupy Pit Road,” if you will or in this case, “Occupy AP PHOTO Victory Lane.” Driver Brad Keselowski (22) leads a lap during the “Todd, without this proNASCAR Nationwide auto race at Kansas Speedway gram, would be laid off on in Kansas City, Kan. on Saturday. unemployment,” Keselowski

said after winning Saturday at Kansas Speedway. “Because of (owner) Roger Penske, because of Discount Tire and all of us putting this program together, these guys are all out there working in tough times right now. It makes me very proud to be a part of this program.” Keselowski dominated, leading all but 27 laps on his way to victory. “I think that car was spectacular,” said secondplace finisher Carl Edwards, who briefly held a late lead before Keselowsi pulled ahead for the last time. “He did a good job, too. I thought we were going to have a

chance to race there pretty hard at the end, but once he got by me I couldn’t do anything.” Keselowski, the Sprint Cup winner at the track in June, fell behind Edwards after a late caution, but pulled ahead with 11 laps to go and won by 2.795 seconds. Elliott Sadler was third, followed by Paul Menard, points leader Ricky Stenhouse Jr., Kevin Harvick, Joey Logano, Brian Vickers, Trevor Bayne and Ryan Truex. Keselowski, a four-time winner this year, only lost the lead twice over the course of the race, each time regaining it within 10 laps.

Peters scored on the first play of the second half with an assist from Morgan Haddad, and Peters followed with another goal, which came off of an assist from Sydney Hefferon to make it 3-0. Maddie Rench, Taylor Curtis, and Kihei Paikai all played a major part on the defensive side of the ball, helping goalie Karli Riviello, who had 13 saves, pitch a shutout for the Eagles. Troy Christian (11-0-3, 90 Metro Buckeye Conference) travels to Franklin-Monroe on Monday, while Lehman plays Bellefontaine on Monday, as well. Miami East 3, Milton-Union 0 WEST MILTON - After a week off, Miami East was back in action Saturday against Milton-Union. But the time off didn’t seem to phase East. The Vikings came out energized in the first half to get a 3-0 lead going into the break, which held for the final score. The first goal came 14 minutes into the game. When Katrina Sutherly sent a corner kick to the far post, Chelsea Sherman onetouched it back across the goal mouth, and Abigail Amheiser took advantage of the open look to get her team on the board. East scored again less than a minute later. Sutherly and Kylie Brown worked the ball around in the corner. Brown took a dribble toward the endline, cut back and laid an easy ball in front of Sutherly, who one-touched it past the Milton keeper. Katelyn Gardella then passed to Taylor Mitchell, who onetouched it back for the give and go, which Gardella finished on a one-touch shot to score the final goal of the game. “Our ball movement was really good today, especially in the first half,” Miami East coach Lil Carson said. “We used a lot of people in the second half because of the heat, but we were still able to keep control of the game. It was nice being able to get everyone in. “It’s good for the younger players to see minutes on the field in a varsity game, even if it is just a few min-

I wish I could have cars like this all the time.” Harvick’s top-10 finish came after a day filled with repairs. He twice had to take his car behind the wall so his crew could fix the splitter. “I don’t know if I could be any prouder,” Harvick said. With the third-place finish, Sadler narrowed Stenhouse’s lead in the standings to 20 points with four races to go. Still, the

Milton-Union took a 1-0 lead into half, but East soon tied the score early in the second as Ross Snodgrass had a through ball to Jake Miller, who scored. Shortly thereafter, the Bulldogs sealed the game with a clutch goal. “I was pleased with today’s play and possession of the ball,” Miami East coach Mike Schumacher

said. “Today’s game could have gone either way. We had some great shots and headers that hit the post. On Monday, we will ensure we send the seniors out with a win at home.” The Vikings’ last home game and Senior Night is Monday against Springfield Shawnee. Bellbrook 2, Tippecanoe 1 BELLBROOK — Tippecanoe and Bellbrook faced off in what amounted to a solid postseason tuneup Saturday, but in the end the Golden Eagles put away a second-half penalty kick to grab a 2-1 victory at home over the Red Devils. After Bellbrook grabbed a 1-0 lead, Tippecanoe’s Logan Niswonger cashed in a penalty kick with nine seconds left in the half to tie the score. But with both teams locked in a defensive battle in the second half, Bellbrook got a penalty kick of its own and took the lead for good. “The kids are pretty

down. We wanted to win this game,” Tippecanoe coach Scott Downing said. “But we felt this was a good game for us as we prepare for the tournament. It was a very 50-50 game with neither team dominating. We had momentum for a while, then they had it for a while — it was very back and forth. “It was almost like a tournament game today. This was a good learning experience.” Tippecanoe (9-4-1) travels to Springfield Shawnee Wednesday.

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Al Davis, the renegade owner of the Oakland Raiders who bucked NFL authority while exhorting his silver-and-black team to “Just win, baby!,” died Saturday. He was 82. The Hall of Famer died at his home in Oakland, the team said. The cause of death was not immediately disclosed. Davis was one of the most important figures in NFL history a rebel with a subpoena. That DAVIS was most evident during the 1980s when he went to court and won for the right to move his team from Oakland to Los Angeles. Even after he moved the Raiders back to the Bay Area in 1995, he sued for $1.2 billion to establish that he still owned the rights to the L.A. market. Before that, though, he was a pivotal figure in hastening the merger between the AFL where he served as commissioner and the more established NFL. Davis was not initially in favor of a merger, but his aggressive pursuit of NFL players for his fledgling league and team helped bring about the eventual 1970 combination of the two leagues into what is now the most popular sport in the country.

“Al Davis’s passion for football and his influence on the game were extraordinary,” Commissioner Roger Goodell said. “He defined the Raiders and contributed to pro football at every level. The respect he commanded was evident in the way that people listened carefully every time he spoke. He is a true legend of the game whose impact and legacy will forever be part of the NFL.” But Davis was hardly an NFL company man. Not in the way he dressed usually satin running suits, one white, one black, and the occasional black suit, black shirt and silver tie. Not in the way he wore his hair slicked back with a ’50s duck-tail. Not in the way he talked Brooklynese with Southern inflection. Not in the way he did business on his own terms, always on his own terms. Elected in 1992 to the Pro Football Hall of Fame, Davis was a trailblazer. He hired the first black head coach of the modern era Art Shell in 1988. He hired the first Latino coach, Tom Flores; and the first woman CEO, Amy Trask. And he was infallibly loyal to his players and officials: to be a Raider was to be a Raider for life.

Wright, Brackman key in respective teams’ wins Staff and Wire Reports MANCHESTER, Ind. — Troy High School graduate Tyler Wright threw a pair of touchdown passes and ran for another score Saturday, and A Sweeney’s 37-yard field goal in overtime spoiled Manchester’s homecoming in a 30-27 Bluffton victory. Wright was 7 for 10 for 101 yards with an interception, throwing a 38yard touchdown pass to Ryan Sabin and a 15yarder to Shane Swisher. He was also the Beavers’ leading rusher, carrying the ball seven times for 101 yards — including a

49-yard touchdown. Shawn Frost’s 2-yard touchdown reception from Christopher Byrd early in the fourth quarter tied the score, Manchester missed a field goal on its possession and Bluffton (2-4, 2-2) capitalized. Slippery Rock 24, Edinboro 23 EDINBORO, Pa. — Slippery Rock University forced six turnovers and outscored hosting Edinboro University by a 21-3 margin in the final 25 minutes of action Saturday afternoon to record a come-from-behind 24-23 win at Sox Harrison Stadium.

Junior kicker Kurt Brackman — a MiltonUnion High School graduate — tacked on the gamewinning point after an 8yard touchdown pass from Cody Endre to Devin Goda with 2:22 to play. The Rock defense then sealed it with a fumble recovery with 22 seconds to go as Edinboro neared field-goal range. Brackman added a 31yard field goal to start the scoring and had a 32-yard attempt blocked. Most importantly, though, he was 3 for 3 on extra points — including on the winning score. Urbana 45, Ky.

Each step is carefully planned and coordinated. Hundreds of high school students take the field each weekend performing for spectators each Friday and Saturday night. Not only do they carry a tune, but also keep a tradition of marching musical excellence during each performance. Below is a list of area high school’s marching bands and the accolades they’ve collected thus far and their upcoming performances for the 2011 season: • Troy’s Marching Trojans This year, the Troy Marching Trojan’s show is entitled, “We Are One: The Saga of the Berlin Wall.” Soloists include Nate Lowry, trumpet; Joe Henson, mellophone; Matt Davis, trombone; Jake Henson, baritone; Carolann Stanley, tuba; Jorian Johnson, soprano saxophone; and Isaac Wiegman, snare.

Next, it’s time for the weather report and a stop by the jazz station for “Birdland!” Then it’s time to sit back and enjoy a little easy listening with “Fields of Gold.” Ending the trip across the dial, the band makes a stop by WROK, a classic rock station for “Any Way You Want It.” The Pride of Piqua is led on the field by senior field commander Blythe Palsgrove.

Selections include “Whole Lotta Love,” “Heartbreaker,” “The Immigrant Song,” and “Stairway to Heaven.” “Miami East is a noncompetitive marching band, meaning that we do not concentrate on one show throughout the year to take to competition,” said Jeffrey Smith, director. “We produce a complete show with new drill and music for every home game. “The band has gotten a lot of positive feedback from this year’s Zeppelin show,” Smith said. “I have had people come up to me and say ‘That’s so cool you are marching Led Zeppelin!’” “Our goal is to entertain with the highest quality product and level of performance every time we take the field, and we have

IT HAPPENED YEARS AGO BY PATRICK D. KENNEDY For the Troy Daily News

HIGHLIGHT IN HISTORY 100 Years Ago: October 9-22, 1911

25 Years Ago: October 9-22, 1986 • Troy — David Fair & Co. is a past dream, now realized. David Fair, owner and manager of the new business, stated this has been his dream and what he has been working toward for about 10 years and now it is a reality. Fair, along with his wife Marla, will provide home decoration and designing services, as well as home decor accessories, such as extensive table linens and silk flowers. The flowers are designed and handmade by Mrs. Fair. The suggestions and work of this talented team is sure to brighten any home. (Columnist’s Note: Happy 25th David and Marla. I trust it has been everything you hoped it would be and more — pdk.) • Troy — The Flash Restaurant: 116 W. Main St., Troy — across from the courthouse — Offers daily lunch specials, breakfast all day Saturday and now a Sunday brunch buffet. Pies are baked fresh daily. Come in and visit, you’ll be glad you did. (Columnist’s Note: It occurred to me with the announcement this week that Le Doux’s will be moving into the old courthouse building on West Main St. that it would be appropriate to bring back a little nostalgia for some of us ‘oldtimers.’ The Flash Restaurant, which had served Troy since the late 1930’s, closed about 1987.) 50 Years Ago: October 922, 1961 • Piqua — Don Lacy is a fortunate young man. The Piqua youth was on his way

• Lost Creek Township-Observation reveals that the active farming season is now winding down in this and other parts of the county. Many farmers have sown their wheat and most have finished cutting their corn. The wheat has been somewhat delayed by the wet weather, nonetheless, farmers have prevailed in getting the seed into the ground in a timely manner. It is also about time for winter apples, but the wet and warm weather has not been the best for ripening the fruit. Our best results in the past have been to put narrow crates in the orchards and lay a nice clean straw bedding for the apples. When the crate is full a cover can be put over the apples and left unless it is sunny and warm. This procedure will help keep the apples nice and fresh until it is necessary to move them into winter storage, at which time the culls can be pulled for cider making. This has been met with the best results for 35 years.

to school when he took a shortcut across the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad (B&O RR) bridge over State Route 36, but fell off the bridge before reaching the other side. He sustained a compound fracture of the left leg and other injuries as a result of the fall. He is recovering at Piqua Memorial Hospital. • Tipp City — The 3rd Annual Tipp City Mum Festival planning is completed and the festival is set to commence tomorrow (Oct.21st) with the judging of the flowers in the basement of the Monroe Township building. Some of the festivities include a classic car roundup, judging of festival queens, floats and the parade. Following the crowning of the queen in front of the township building, the parade will make its way through town to the football field where nine bands from area schools will perform for the audience. After the show, awards will be presented to car owners, float designers and many other contestants of the day.

75 Years Ago: October 922, 1936 • Brandt — Some local squirrel hunters near Brandt became de facto law enforcement officers when they apprehended a former convict in the act of stealing a car belonging to Clifford Shaneyfelt of New carlisle. The hunters, which included Shaneyfelt, held the man ‘in custody’ until Sheriff Kenneth Miller could arrive on the scene and remove the man to the county jail. • Miami County — Once again county officials have something to smile about with the news of increased revenue from real estate taxes. The total income is the best since the beginning of the Depression and show a rate of 93.7 percent of the expected revenue received. These numbers show that there is only a 6.3 percent delinquency, which is considered near normal and, according to Auditor D.D. Kessler, puts Miami County in the condition of one of the best in the state. • Troy — Heavy guards are expected at the B&O

Railroad depot tomorrow (Oct.16th) when the train of President Roosevelt stops in Troy. The train is heading from Toledo to Cincinnati and will stop about 5 am in order to refill its water tanks. Owing to the time of the stop, it is believed no appearance or words by President Roosevelt or any of his party will be made. Police Chief E.J. Smick was requested to prepare a contingent of men to assist in the guarding of the train while it was stopped. The stay will be no longer than 5 minutes. 100 Years Ago: October 9-22, 1911 • Concord Township — Farmers are encouraged to attend a special demonstration at the Farmer’s Nursery southeast of Troy on October 25th & 26th. At that time there will be a free demonstration of farming with dynamite. “Come learn the modern, quick, cheap, and safe way to use the giant force of dynamite to remove stumps and boulders, plant trees, dig ditches, break up subsoils and make old farms produce big crops.” 120 Years Ago: October 922, 1891 • Troy — October 29th is the date for a concert by the Original Fisk Jubilee Singers in the Presbyterian Church of our fair city. These singers do not need any introduction as their fame is “nearly as widespread as civilization itself.” If you have not heard these singers you would do well to take the opportunity of hearing them. It will not only be one of the best perfomrances you ever hear, it will be one of the most moving. (Columnist’s Note: Fisk University, founded in

Nashville in 1866, was the first school to offer a liberal arts education to “young men and women irrespective of color.” The Fisk Jubilee Singers was a group assembled by the financial and music director George L. White which travelled to various locations in an effort to raise finds for the struggling school. Initially, they were met with curiosity, indifference and even anger, but through perseverence and determination they began to win over crowds who came to see them. In the beginning, the troupe was resistent to the idea of Mr. White that called for them to sing ‘Negro Spirituals,” but they soon began to include the songs in their repetoire and, in time, drew large crowds to hear them perform. Fisk University still has “Jubilee Singers” who travel to several locations every year sharing their songs of hope.) 146 Years Ago: October 922, 1865 • Miami County — The trees are beginning to show their autumn shades in this part of the country and boys are arriving at home with Black Walnut stains on their fingers. Butternut stains do not seem to be as popular this year. • Troy — The First Baptist women are busy planning a grand supper for the Thursday evening prior to Christmas. They request their community friends to plan their attendance at the event. The proceeds of the evening will be used to purchase a bell for the church. Patrick D. Kennedy is archivist at the Troy-Miami County Public Library’s Local History Library, 100 W. Main St., Troy, 937.335.2623

many shows each year … it’s very satisfying for me as an educator to teach a variety of music while constantly improving our overall musicianship,” Smith said. “We have done a patriotic show, a couple rock shows, and a jazz show, and the senior band members are designing the next show. It’s a lot of work, but very rewarding for everyone involved.”

• Milton-Union Marching Band Milton-Union Marching Band’s competition show is titled “Brass Revolution.” The 36 members have been performing Chicago’s “Free,” “Blood, Sweat & Tears,” “Spinning Wheel,” and Earth, Wind and Fire’s “Getaway/September.” This year’s field commander is Christy Alway, director is Alan Limke

and instructors are Seth Helton and Kellie Mahaney. The band appeared at the Bellbrook Invitational and Bradford Pumpkin Festival Parade.

HEALTH

Sunday, October 9, 2011

Physicals, diet and exercise key to men’s health PCPs encourage men to adopt healthy habits While the list of top health threats for men includes heart disease, cancer and stroke, some doctors believe the biggest threats to a man’s health are his own personal, everyday choices. “Unfortunately, once men reach the age when they don’t require yearly physicals for school or sports, they may go years without seeing a doctor for a check-up,” said Richard Michael, M.D., of Troy Primary Care Physicians. “In most cases, it’s women – wives, girlfriends, mothers and daughters – who encourage the men in their lives to come in for check-ups.” Skipping regular checkups can be a dangerous, costly gamble. Aches and pains that most men perceive to be minor could actually be early symptoms of a more serious condition. As a result, these health problems that could be detected during a routine physical at an early age may not be detected until later in life when they become more serious and may require more aggressive treatments. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the leading cause of death in men is heart disease. Two of the major risk factors associated with heart disease are high blood pressure and high cholesterol, both of which can be addressed by a primary care physician. “Another excellent example of the importance of early detection for men is in the screening of prostate cancer,” said Dr. Michael. “Detection has come a long way in the past 15 years. Based on a patient’s medical history and potential risk factors for prostate cancer, primary care doctors can help determine the best course of action for screening.” September is Prostate Cancer Awareness Month. Prostate cancer is one of the most common types of cancer in men. According to the American College of Preventative Medicine, one in five men in the United States will develop prostate cancer. Early detection of diseases such as prostate cancer allows patients and their doctors to explore treatment options. For men, regular checkups with their primary care physicians are key to detecting and effectively treating health problems that could potentially affect them at all stages of their lives. Other keys to

good health for could be as simple as diet and exercise. Healthy lifestyle habits should be top of mind for men year-round. “At an early age, young men often are encouraged to be big eaters,” said Rasa Miller, M.D., also of Troy Primary Care Physicians. “That pattern doesn’t serve them well later in life when their activity level and metabolism slow down. Diet and exercise should continue to be a regular part of men’s lifestyles, especially as they get older.” Men should focus on eating a well-balanced diet filled with whole grains, fruits and vegetables, lean proteins, low-fat dairy products and hearthealthy fats. Calorie intake depends on age, activity level and whether weight needs to be lost, gained or maintained. When men exercise, they traditionally focus their efforts on strength training, but aerobic exercise is just as, if not more, important. The CDC recommends that adults do 150 minutes of moderateintensity aerobic activity (e.g. brisk walking) and two or more days of muscle-strengthening activities each week. Primary care physicians can help men determine special diet and exercise requirements based on other existing conditions or risk factors. “While many men may look and feel perfectly healthy, there are a number of risk factors they should be aware of,” said Dr. Miller. “High blood pressure and high cholesterol can contribute to a variety of health problems for men and affect more than just those who are stereotypically associated with the conditions, including people who are overweight or inactive.” Some men’s health problems carry clear symptoms with them, while others, including high blood pressure and high cholesterol, begin with little to no warning signs. However, these risk factors can be identified during a routine physical. Early detection and diagnosis of these types of health problems can prevent more serious conditions from developing, which is why it’s important for men to make yearly physicals with their primary care physician a priority.

Kids’ ER concussion visits up 60 percent ATLANTA (AP) — The number of athletic children going to hospitals with concussions is up 60 percent in the past decade, likely because parents and coaches are more careful about getting these head injuries treated, according to a new federal study. “It’s a good increase, if that makes any sense,” said Steven Marshall, interim director of the University of North Carolina’s Injury Prevention and Research Center. “These injuries were always there. It’s not that there are more injuries now. It’s just that now people are getting treatment that they weren’t getting before,” said Marshall, who

was not involved in the new research. Bicycling and football were the leading reasons for the kids’ brain injuries, but health officials said that could be at least partly related to the popularity of those activities. For example, it’s possible many more kids bike, so a larger number of bike-related injuries would be expected. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention study is based on a survey of 66 hospital emergency departments that was designed to be nationally representative. The CDC looked at non-fatal data for the years 2001 through 2009 for kids and teens ages 19 and younger.

The agency looked at traumatic brain injuries, a category of injuries that mostly counts concussions but also includes skull fractures and bleeding in the brain. The estimated numbers of kids coming into ERs with these brain injuries rose dramatically, about 153,000 in 2001 to nearly 250,000 in 2009. The rate also rose, also by about 60 percent. However, there was not a significant increase in the rate of kids who were immediately admitted into the main hospital for further treatment. That suggests that more so that in the past, more coaches and parents have been bringing

kids to the ER with mild concussions and blows to the head, said Dr. Julie Gilchrist, a CDC epidemiologist who led the study. That’s probably due to more awareness of the formerly under-appreciated long-term hazards of concussions, she added. In 2003, the CDC started a “Heads Up” youth concussion awareness campaign targeting doctors. Since then, the agency has expanded the focus to coaches and school officials. That effort was bolstered by series of studies that began to appear around 2005 that showed damage in the brains of former National Football League players.

Palliative care access uneven BY LEE BOWMAN Scripps Howard News Service WASHINGTON — Although most large hospitals around the country offer seriously ill patients the support of special teams to manage pain and complex symptoms, a report card issued Wednesday shows few states making top grades with palliative care. Palliative care is among the nation’s fastest-growing specialties, intended to focus on patient comfort and quality of life. But unlike hospice care, it does not necessarily anticipate that a patient is nearing the end of life. Some 90 million Americans living with serious and chronic illnesses, from cancer and heart disease to diabetes and Alzheimer’s, could potentially benefit from palliative care. “As with many services in health care, where you live often determines what

level of care you receive, and that trend certainly holds true for palliative care,” said Dr. Sean Morrison, director of the National Palliative Care Research Center and lead author of the report. Based on surveys of nearly 2,500 hospitals, the study found that nearly two-thirds of those with more than 50 beds offer a palliative care program, but the services are offered in only about 20 percent of hospitals with fewer than 50 beds. The nation as a whole received a “B” grade for palliative care, as did most states. Only seven states — Maryland, Minnesota, Nebraska, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont and Washington, plus the District of Columbia — got an “A.” Just two states, Delaware and Mississippi, received an “F” rating. Morrison said other research suggests that in states with more hospitalbased palliative care, patients are less likely to die in the hospital, spend

fewer days in intensive care, have better pain management and high satisfaction with their care. Palliative teams first sprang up in teaching hospitals and have spread to more facilities, but still are more likely to be found in nonprofit hospitals. “One of the things we’re still working to show is that these teams not only improve quality, but can also save money by reducing excessive care and reducing the number of re-admissions, ” Morrison said. While there are relatively few patients in small and rural hospitals who could benefit from palliative care any particular day, “there are models that can make it work, say with a nurse-practitioner specially trained in palliative care and backed up by a physician, social

workers, chaplains and others in that hospital with some basic instruction,” Morrison said. One major problem lies in getting enough doctors and nurses trained in the specialty, which has not been accounted for in the allocation of training spots subsidized by the federal government. “When we’re wrestling with escalating Medicare costs and a growing elderly population, these teams can provide a solution to that part of the health care crisis created when 10 percent of patients drive 60 percent of the costs,” Morrison said.

Feelin’ the blues Fans, famous bluesmen head to Arkansas for festival HELENA-WEST HELENA, Ark. (AP) — When blues-loving tourists pay homage to the place their favorite music was born, the Mississippi Delta is the usual destination. But just across the state line in eastern Arkansas, a small city is cultivating its blues heritage with an annual festival that draws tens of thousands of visitors and is named for a locally produced radio show that’s a tourist attraction in its own right. Scores of fans from places ranging from Madrid, Spain, to Zanesville, Ohio make pilgrimages here to see the birthplace of “King Biscuit Time,” a live radio program that caught the ears of young bluesmen who turned into blues greats after it started broadcasting in 1941. Locals piggybacked on the success of the radio show and, in the ’80s, organized the annual King Biscuit Blues Festival with some of the famous artists who played live on the radio program. The festival, held each October on the banks of the Mississippi, offers a mix of big-name acts and lesser-known bluesmen. This year’s event starts Thursday with Buddy Guy, followed by Delbert McClinton on Friday and Keb’ Mo’ on Saturday night. “Kids come from overseas and wash their hands in the Mississippi River, just like the Jordan River,” says Bubba Sullivan, who introduces performers at the festival and sells records at his shop across the street. Last year’s festival lineup included the legendary B.B. King. Locals like to point out that while he was born on the Mississippi side of the river, his famous guitar, Lucille, was named after the woman behind a dance-hall brawl in Twist, Ark., about 80 miles north of here. There’s no easy way to get to Helena-West Helena, population 12,282, located in a poor, rural part of Arkansas about 70 miles southwest of Memphis and 120 miles southeast of Little Rock. (The hyphenated name came about when two places merged.) But what blues pilgrimage would be complete without a bit of a challenge? Since you can’t get there from here on the interstate, you’ve got to give up higher speed limits in exchange for scenic highways and roadside signs that only exist in rural America. Once inside the city limits, decades seem to run together. Advertisements on more than one building boast the best Coke in town and a local accountant peddles his services as a bean counter. But past a valley bathed in kudzu an invasive green vine that covers everything in its path some of the festival organizers fiddle with smartphones as they string lanyards together for volunteers. Banners along the downtown drag promote the area as historic it is home to more than 30 structures listed on the National Register of Historic Places, most of them dating

This Oct. 2 photo shows Bubba Sullivan as he talks about the upcoming King Biscuit Blues Festival outside his store, Bubba’s Blues Corner, in Helena-West Helena, Ark.

This Oct. 5 file photo shows Rick Reed, left, and George Friend, right, both from Los Angeles, Calif., as they jam during their performance at the 16th Annual King Biscuit Blues Festival in Helena, Ark. to the late 19th and early 20th centuries. A few boutiques and renovated storefronts have crept in blocks away from the boarded-up buildings where bluesmen of old used to sing

about love lost and love found. Around the time of the festival, souvenir stands and food carts pop up next to the levee that protects the town from the river. An old train depot now serves as a cultural center and studio for “King Biscuit Time.” There, host “Sunshine” Sonny Payne welcomes guests from around the world and sometimes interviews them on the show, the longest-running daily radio program with more than 16,000 episodes to boot. Payne, who turns 86 next month, still starts every show the same way: “Pass the biscuits ‘cause it’s ‘King

Biscuit Time.’” But some things have changed over the years. No more commercials for King Biscuit Flour, which once sponsored the show. Gone, too, are the days of live music with Robert Lockwood Jr. and Sonny Boy Williamson. Few of today’s performers have lived through the trials and tribulations that make the blues what they are. “You hear Keb’ Mo’ singing and you know that he hasn’t gone in juke joints on Highway 61 or over in Arkansas…” Sullivan said. “But they still do a great job of doing the music.”

MORTGAGE WATCH

30-year mortgage below 4 percent for first time ever WASHINGTON (AP) — The average rate on the 30-year fixed mortgage this week fell below 4 percent for the first time ever, to 3.94 percent. For those who can qualify, it’s an extraordinary opportunity to buy a home or refinance. On Thursday, Freddie Mac said the average rate dropped from 4.01 percent last week, the previous low. The average rate on a 15-year fixed loan, a popular refinancing option, dipped to 3.26 percent, also a record. The 15-year loan has fallen for six straight weeks. Mortgage rates are now lower than they were in the early 1950s, when the average rate reached 4.08 percent for a few months, according to the National Bureau of Economic Research. Back then, mortgages typically lasted just 20 or 25 years. Still, rates have been below 5 percent for all but two weeks in the past year and that has done little to boost home sales. This year is shaping up to be among the worst for sales of previously occupied homes in 14 years. “Interest rates are obviously not an impediment to housing. It’s uncertainty about the economy, about jobs, about incomes,” said Mark Vitner, senior economist at Wells Fargo. “It’s not a question of affordability. It’s simply a lack of wherewithal to buy a home or a lack of confidence to commit to buying one.” Many people are reluctant to take the risk in this market. High unemployment, scant pay raises and heavy debt loads are deterring many would-be buyers. Others can’t qualify for the historically low rates. Banks are insisting on higher credit scores. And many want first-time buyers to put down 20 percent. Few people have that much cash or home equity to satisfy the requirement.

N.Y. fraud convict denies seeking hit on a witness NEW YORK (AP) — A New York man convicted of leading a $100 million mortgage fraud scheme has pleaded not guilty to trying to get a key witness killed. Former AFG Financial Group Inc. President Aaron Hand was arraigned Thursday on attempted murder and other charges. His lawyer says Hand never wanted to hurt anyone and was entrapped by authorities. The Manhattan district attorney’s office says Hand hatched the plot in prison and met there with an undercover investigator posing as a hit man. Prosecutors say Hand arranged to get the investigator $150 to buy a gun and then agreed to pay $2,000 for the slaying. The charges were first reported Thursday by The Wall Street Journal.

This undated photo courtesy of Scripps Networks, LLC shows a room designed by Sabrina Soto for HGTV’s The High Low Project. Spring may be the season of cleaning out clutter and brightening up our homes, but fall can be equally inspiring. Soto is a fan of lampshades in warm fall colors like gold or scarlet. don’t open the windows until September. “My favorite part about fall is turning off the air conditioning and opening up the windows,” says Sabrina Soto, host of the new series “The High Low Project” on HGTV. “I love to have the curtains blow in the cool breeze and see the leaves starting to change color.” Soto uses fall flowers to bring a burst of color to her home. “Mums are perfect for hanging baskets and porches,” she says, “and come in fabulous, bold colors. I also like to add fresh flowers inside as well; sunflowers are great for their bright color and longevity. Maple branches also add a dramatic touch.” CREATE A STUDY SPACE Even if you’re not a student right now, you can create a space for reading or pursuing a hobby. Any quiet alcove or area will do, says designer Brian Patrick Flynn, founder and editor of

decordemon.com. One option is converting the lower part of a reach-in closet into a study space, he says. Use a piece of lumber to create a deep shelf at desklevel. Add a basket underneath to keep study-related materials organized and out of view. When it’s time to study or work, just open the closet door and pull up a chair. Soto suggests keeping light in mind: “A window seat can make a perfect reading niche,” she says. If you don’t have one, pull a large, comfy chair up near a window with a small side table that can hold your laptop or a book and mug of hot coffee. If the table has a drawer, you can keep necessary items on hand. Otherwise, keep a decorative bin or basket nearby. “The days are getting shorter,” Soto says, so you may need artificial light. She’s a fan of lampshades in warm fall colors like gold or

scarlet. THINK COLORS AND PATTERNS When September begins, Flynn loves bringing out plaid and argyle fabrics. “It feels collegiate,” he says, and can work especially well in children’s rooms. Burnham suggests bringing in a dash of classic fall colors such as gold, burnt orange or muted brown. You can bring in just one or two shades through accessories like pillows and throws. Or go all out and paint with fall colors. Another idea: To make part of a room feel truly study-worthy, Flynn suggests visiting a flea market or used bookstore to buy vintage books with beautiful typography. Carefully remove the pages, then spray the back of each page with adhesive. Press them firmly onto the wall in a random pattern, with some overlapping. You can seal the pages with polyurethane or leave them uncovered. “It instantly gives a space meant for studying or reading a custom-designed feel,” he says. PREP FOR THE EVENTS Beyond signaling the start of the school year, fall also reminds us that the holidays aren’t far away, says Soto. “So get your dining room ready for entertaining by polishing your silverware and cleaning the fine china,” she says. One last touch: To make things more appealing for guests in the coming months, “create a more relaxed feel at the table by adding pillows to dining chairs,” she says. “Perfect for guests after a feast!”

HOUSE HUNTING

Finances to consider if you must move Hopes of a housing recovery in the second half of 2011 were dashed when low consumer confidence, high unemployment and the debt crisis debacle were exacerbated by Standard & Poor’s downgrade of the United States’ credit rating. In August, S&P demoted the U.S., Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae (two government-sponsored mortgage entities) from AAA ratings to AA+. The first-ever downgrade of the U.S. was expected to cause interest rates to rise. Instead, it had the opposite effect. Low interest rates have set off a new surge in refinance applications, but it has done little to help most homebuyers who can’t qualify under current strict lender requirements. Nationally, home prices declined approximately 5 percent between March 2010 and March 2011, according to Fiserv, a company that provides data analysis for the financial services industry. Fiserv expects home prices to decline another 3.1 percent by March 2012 and possibly increase 2.7 percent nationally in the first quarter of 2013. It’s not a great time for home sellers. That is, unless you’re a homeowner who in lives in Tacoma, Wash., where Fiserv expects prices to increase nearly 25 percent by March 2013, or near Silicon Valley in the San Francisco Bay Area, which is generating jobs at a rapid pace. Otherwise, what should you do if you want or need to move now? One option is to sell your home, even though the market is soft. But before going to the expense of preparing your home for sale, find out what your chances are of selling in your

local market. Some sellers in hot niche markets are breaking even, depending on when they bought. Others are bringing cash to closing because they can’t sell for enough to cover the loan payoff and closing costs. Others can’t sell at all without discounting the price significantly. Find out how many homes like yours in the neighborhood have sold recently, along with the sale prices and how long it took to sell. If the market is still declining in your area, plan on selling your home for less than the most recent sale. How many homes like yours are currently for sale? If there are few and buyer demand is high, the odds are in your favor. Keep in mind that listings that sell in this market are usually in move-in condition. If your home isn’t in great shape or doesn’t show well, are you willing and able to do the improvements that will be necessary to sell? HOUSE HUNTING TIP: While you’re researching selling, consider whether it makes sense to rent the

property rather than sell at this time. The rental market is hot in some spots. Even so, make allowances for tenant turnover, vacancies and the possibility of lower rents in the future. A major consideration should be whether the prospective rent will cover the costs of carrying the property. Will you need to pay each month to make up the shortfall, or will the property generate cash? If you’ll take a beating on price by selling but you’ll receive a good income from renting, then renting it out might be the best option. To make sure your property is properly maintained, consider hiring a property manager if you can’t manage the property yourself. Find out if there are any rent control ordinances and how they might affect you. Consider the tax consequences of converting a primary residence into an investment property. Consult with your financial adviser and accountant to understand how this will impact you tax-wise, particularly if the rent does not cover your carrying costs. And, ask you financial consultants for advice on whether it’s better for you to sell or rent. THE CLOSING: Finally, if you’re interested in renting only for the short term, you might be better off selling today. The market may stabilize in 2012 or 2013, but it could take a lot longer.

Take a tour through your new house.

Spring may be the season of cleaning out clutter and brightening up the home, but fall can be equally inspiring. You can feel it in the air: Bright yellow school buses have returned to the roads and store shelves are stocked with crisp, fresh notebooks and pencils. Whether you’re a student or not, a new semester filled with possibility is upon us. That back-to-school energy motivates many homeowners to freshen up their space. Interior designer Betsy Burnham of Los Angeles’ Burnham Design, says the phones at her office ring frequently in the fall. The summer entertaining season is over and people are excited about making fresh decorating decisions. She and two other design experts offer advice here on fast and easy end-of-summer projects to spruce up a home for fall: FIX SUMMER WEAR AND TEAR Look around, says Burnham, especially in rooms that have gotten a lot of indoor/outdoor traffic this summer. Do door frames or walls need touchup painting? Do floors need polishing or carpets need cleaning? After a busy summer, she says, “right now my kitchen table is out being refinished.” This kind of refurbishing project is an expense that some people prefer to skip. But Burnham says it will bring a polished look to your home and can keep quality pieces in great shape for years, saving money on replacements.

Mortgage rates have fallen to their lowest levels ever, making this a golden opportunity to refinance. But many people can’t. Homeowners who want to refinance in today’s tougher lending environment face hurdles. Credit scores must be higher than they used to be. Debt loads must be smaller. Employment must be documented. The biggest obstacle? A lack of home equity. Some people owe more on their mortgages than their homes are worth. They’re considered “underwater.” Banks aren’t inclined to lend to them. But for those with stable jobs, extra cash, little debt and some home equity, low rates could allow for sharply reduced mortgage payments. — BARRIERS TO ENTRY For many homeownrefinancing is ers, impossible. 165 FOX HARBOR The lowest rates are This pleasing home is loaded with areas of enjoyable space to spread out & entertain. 2 story style, on a full, finished basement w/large kitchen opening to the family generally reserved for room & fireplace lends itself for ease of livability.

Ask a Designer: Team spirit can be stylish (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Americans love their sports teams, and no time of year is more sports-focused than October: Major-league baseball playoffs have begun and football is in full swing. Hockey season is beginning and basketball is only weeks away. In homes across the country, that often translates to watching sports on TV in a family room or living room, sometimes decorated to celebrate a favorite team. Hardcore fans can go all out: In just a few moments of online shopping, you can find anything from Ohio State Buckeyes draperies and Dallas Mavericks lamps to an $800 Pittsburgh Steelers sofa. Fun, yes but potentially tacky. Is it possible to decorate with a sports team in mind and still keep a room looking stylish? Of course, says interior designer Betsy Burnham of Burnham Design, in Los Angeles. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But you want to stay on the right side of crazy.â&#x20AC;? She and two other interior designers Robert Novogratz, costar of the HGTV series â&#x20AC;&#x153;Home by Novogratz,â&#x20AC;? and Brian Patrick Flynn, founder of

decordemon.com offer advice on doing sports-themed decorating right. GO VINTAGE All three designers suggest emphasizing vintage items. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Think classic,â&#x20AC;? Burnham says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Vintage felt pennants. Tweeds, corduroy. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s that preppy, old-school style, not new shiny stuff. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the stuff from your teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history.â&#x20AC;? Novogratz agrees. Go for deliberate kitsch, he says, like an old football helmet lamp made in the â&#x20AC;&#x2122;60s or â&#x20AC;&#x2122;70s. It will bring a different feel to a room than a team-themed lamp made today. Also consider the memorabilia, toys or cards available today, and then hunt for vintage versions online. Novogratz has assembled collections of vintage bobble-head dolls, and decades-old baseball cards or NBA cards for clients, then displayed or framed the items as art. Shoppers may assume that sports cards from decades ago must be expensive, he says. Some are, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s often possible to find old cards for just a few dollars.

AP PHOTO

This undated photo courtesy of Matthew Williams shows a display case designed by Robert and Cortney Novogratz featuring bobble-head dolls. Displaying a collection of sports bobble-head dolls is one way to decorate a room for the fall sports season. CHOOSE COLORS CAREFULLY When a client wants to decorate a room where theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll watch a beloved sports team, Flynn doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t use the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s colors. Instead, he goes with a palette that complements those colors. During the sports season, the homeowner can bring in accent pieces from pillows and throw blankets to serving dishes and glassware in team colors

without clashing with the room. And that way, the team colors donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t dominate the space yearround. Burnham takes a different approach: Decorate your TV room with just one of the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s colors to â&#x20AC;&#x153;give a nodâ&#x20AC;? to the team without going overboard. And to keep from over-saturating the room with color, Novogratz suggests decorating the walls with black-and-white

photographs of classic moments in team history. There is an elegance and restraint to blackand-white images, he says, that is different from color photos. FIND SPORTY DETAILS For a subtle sports-themed touch, Flynn likes to use upholstery with the thick stitching you find on a football or the zigzag stitching on the seams of a baseball. Another great detail: Flynn suggests using iron-on varsity letters (available at craft stores or online) to decorate pillows or blankets. That lends a hint of athletic style without being heavy-handed. TRUST THAT LESS IS MORE Sports fans often are given team-related gifts for birthdays and holidays. These decorative items can add up, making a family room look more like a stadium gift shop. But, Burnham notes, you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to put out every piece of memorabilia you have. She suggests displaying only a few favorites, rotating your collection a few times a year. Or put an entire group of items together in a single cabinet with glass doors.

SANTA ANA, Calif. (AP) A Southern California broker has pleaded guilty to 68 felony counts for stealing nearly $7 million from hard-money investors in a real estate Ponzi fraud scheme. Orange County prosecutors say 53-year-old Mark Alan Helsing stole from investors, most of them longtime friends, by failing to fund loans as promised.

Investigators say he supplied them with forged documents and bogus interest payments. Helsing pleaded guilty Monday to 55 felony counts of grand theft, seven felony counts of filing false recorded documents, six felony counts of elder financial exploitation and sentencing enhancements for white-collar crime over $500,000 and excessive stealing.

Lee Brice is scheduled to perform Oct. 22 at Hobart Arena when Luke Bryan’s Tailgates and Tanlines Tour comes to Troy as part of the CMT On Tour 2011. Carolina native has been able to illustrate that point with his voice and his ability to write songs that hit home with listeners. He’s penned hit songs for Tim McGraw, Jason Aldean and The Eli Young Band, and co-wrote Garth Brooks’ 2007 smash “More Than A Memory” — which went all the way to No. 1 on the Billboard country music chart. He made his biggest splash, however, when his 2009 single “Love Like Crazy” took country radio by storm. Nominated for three Academy of Country Music Awards — including Song of the Year and Single of the Year — the song ended up being Billboard’s most played song of the year for 2010, and became the longestcharting song in the chart’s history with a 55week run. A love song about the secrets to an enduring relationship, Brice said he was immediately drawn to the song. “First of all, it made me think of my grandparents,” he said. “I didn’t write it — and I usually write most of my own stuff — but musically, when I got in the studio it just spoke to me. I fell in love with it.” So did his fans. A Garth Brooks fan since childhood, Brice said singing the song allows him to feel a bit like his idol — even if only for a few minutes. “Ever since I was a kid, that’s been a dream of mine. It’s what I envisioned happening,” he said. “I saw Garth Brooks when I was 17 and I said ‘I want that’ and when I’m out there on stage I close my set with ‘Love Like Crazy.’ It’s like I’m Garth Brooks

out there. It’s indescribable.” Brice said he hopes his latest single — “Woman Like You” — off his forthcoming album elicits a similar response. “It’s another song that I just fell in love with,” he said. “I heard it and I went in and recorded it the next day. It’s about a woman asking that classic question to a guy — ‘What would you do if you’d never met me?’ — and the whole song is him answering her.” As for for the rest of the album, Brice said he can’t wait for the disc to get out to his fans “probably in the spring.” “The first (album) was really slow. But this time, I had a real vision of what I wanted to happen,” he said. “I’m thinking about trying to do a double album — one a studio album and then the other side of it would be a live show. “I’m probably halfway done with it and I have some really special stuff in store for this album,” he continued. “I’ve been doing the same music for a long time and it feels good to have something new.” In the meantime, Brice said he’ll be out on the road sharing his love of music and doing something he feels fortunate to be doing for a living. “Every day I wake up I could be out digging ditches or something else … but I’m on a tour bus playing music every night, and that’s what motivates me.” Not a bad way to start the day. • For more information about the Oct. 22 show go to www.hobartarena.com. • To learn more about Lee Brice, visit his website at www.leebrice.com.

“Luke has a really good fan base. We all do. And when our fans get together, they throw down.” — Lee Brice

Review: Atkins falls short on a complete album Billboard country hit — Atkins pumps blood into the men he portrays in his lyrics. His voice communicates in a genuine way, mixing a conversational tone with dramatic flourishes. When he supports a son who occasionally causes trouble in “He’s Mine,” he makes it sound like a true-life tale. But Atkins always pads his albums with forgettable songs, such as the silly love song “Feet.” He’s the kind of country artist who caters to radio without giving his fans

much more to enjoy beyond the tunes they already know. He also inexplicably includes the song “Farmer’s Daughter,” a 2010 hit included on a revamped reissue of his previous album, “It’s America.” Why include it on a special release then stick it on the next album too? Such moves make Atkins an artist designed for downloading tracks instead of entire albums. On “Family,” Atkins spins a fast-shuffling narrative filled with sharp characterizations of a flawed yet loving extended clan. Unlike too many country songs,

“Family” doesn’t overly sentimentalize complex family relationships. Instead, it honors the reasons relatives stick together despite their differences and defects. 2225485

ON THE CONTRARY

In this book cover image released by Ecco, “Lost Memory of Skin,” by Russell Banks, is shown.

Banks tackles sex offenders in latest novel “Lost Memory of Skin” (Ecco), by Russell Banks: One of America’s finest writers has written a novel about sex offenders, and he’s done so in such a powerful and insightful way that “Lost Memory of Skin” should be required reading for anyone interested in fixing the country’s broken criminal justice system. Banks, inspired by a real-life colony of offenders set up under the Julia Tuttle Causeway in Miami, explores the story of a 22year-old man prosecuted for an online almost-liaison with an underage girl and branded for the next nine years as a convicted child molester. Without sounding preachy or sentimental, Banks delves into the mind of the Kid; his advocate, the Professor; and a cast of society’s rejects forced to take up residence beneath an overpass. Forbidden from living near a school, daycare center, playground or any other place that attracts children, the sex offenders who choose to follow the law and stay within the confines of their GPS anklets have three options: the airport, the wilds of the Appalachee swamp in the Panzacola National Park or the causeway.

We learn about the Kid’s family, his childhood, his aborted attempt to become a soldier in the U.S. Army. We learn of his pain, his insecurity, his regret. We also watch him grow hopeless increasingly while, at the same time, he’s forced to trust the Professor and others for his survival. Banks also offers a glimpse at the Professor, whose life and past are perhaps more checkered than the Kid’s. Throughout the darkness of his story, we’re treated to Banks’ command of the language and graceful turn of phrase such as his description of the posthurricane landscape: “The dark eastern sky has started bleeding gray. Near the horizon the boiling clouds are dark green. He can make out flooded citrus groves, crushed gravel side roads, a soaked wind-flattened landscape with wildly scattered palm and palmetto fronds and here and there abandoned cars and pickups. … And no people.” Like “Affliction,” ”The Sweet Hereafter” and others, Banks, in his latest novel, takes an unflinching look at people at their worst and manages to turn it into art.

Book release moved up NEW YORK (AP) — An authorized biography of Steve Jobs was high on best-seller lists within hours of Apple’s announcement of his death. And publisher Simon & Schuster announced Thursday that the release date has been moved up from Nov. 21 to Oct. 24. As of early Thursday morning, Walter Isaacson’s “Steve Jobs” was No. 1 on Amazon.com and No. 3 on

Barnes & Noble.com. Fittingly, the book also tops Apple’s own list: the iTunes books best-seller list. Isaacson’s book includes extensive interviews with the Apple co-founder, who rarely discussed his private life. Isaacson has written best-selling biographies of Albert Einstein and Benjamin Franklin. Jobs died Wednesday at age 56 after a long battle with cancer.

The result: a complete package of intelligence, confidence and wit. That’s the muse Burch created eight years ago when she launched her label. Since Day 1, she has offered a consistent mix of everyday outfits, including printed tunics, tailored trousers, big handle handbags, strategic sequins and ballet flats. She says it was important to not just think about how this woman would dress, but also how she would live. Now Burch says she has the privilege of seeing her come to life all over the globe.

Soon, she’ll be in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, and Waikiki, Hawaii. “I see a lot of it for working moms, but also for women who are younger and older,” Burch says. “I love to see how each woman puts her personal spin on it.

She says she is so flattered that women whom she has come to respect, even if she knows them by type instead of name, choose to spend their money on her collection instead of all the other things they want. Hmmm, maybe family vacations or home improvements, she muses. “It’s very passé to think women want to spend
