City to apply for 300M for East Main St. Enhancements part of ongoing Streetscape project

BY RON OSBURN Staff Writer rosburn@tdnpublishing.com

Check out this week’s iN75 Read about the history of Winans as the store celebrates 50 years, as well as a review on the local 5K for breast cancer which took place on the levy.

A block-long stretch of East Main Street from Walnut to Mulberry streets may get a makeover if the city can get approval on a grant application from the Miami Valley Regional Planning Commission.

Troy City Council on Monday

unanimously authorized applying for $300,000 from the MVRPC’s Transportation Enhancement Fund to extend the city’s Streetscape improvements on the one-block stretch of both sides of East Main Street.

The grant would help defray the estimated $700,000 cost of the project, which would extend infrastructure improvements made in 2002 as part of Phase 2 of the

ongoing Streetscape project.

Phase 1 of the city’s Streetscape program began in 2000 and included improvements in a coordinated design scheme to the area around Public Square, including new period street light poles and traffic signals, landscaping, sidewalks with decorative brick pavers down the center and color-coordinated green benches and trash receptacles.

Other work included taking

TROY overhead utility lines and burying them underground, and planting trees along the street within decorative tree guards and grates.

Phase 2 began in early 2002 and took the Phase 1 improvements out one block from the square in all four directions, including on East Main Street

Nursing home case reviewed

BY MELANIE YINGST Staff Writer myingst@tdnpublishing.com

Libyans close to total victory Revolutionary forces celebrated the capture of one Moammar Gadhafi stronghold and closed in Tuesday on the last holdouts in the fugitive leader’s hometown of Sirte, putting total victory in their eight-month uprising just a few city blocks away.

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton offered millions of dollars in new aid to Libya, encouraging the country’s unsteady new leadership to commit to a democratic future free of retribution.

“I am proud to stand here on the soil of a free Libya,” Clinton said on a visit to the capital, Tripoli.

“The United States was proud to stand for you in your fight for freedom and we will continue to stand with you as you continue this journey.”

“People certainly feel like they are falling behind, and these are modest income folks to begin with, so every dollar counts,” Certner said. “I think sometimes people forget what seniors’ incomes are.”

Some of the increase in January will be lost to higher Medicare premiums, which are deducted from Social Security payments.

Medicare Part B premiums for 2012 are expected to be announced next week, and the trustees who oversee the program are projecting an increase.

Monthly Social Security payments average $1,082, or about $13,000 a year. A 3.5 percent increase would amount to an additional $38 a month, or about $455 a year.

Most retirees rely on Social Security for a majority of their income, according to the Social Security Administration. Many rely on it for more than 90 percent of their income.

Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody’s Analytics, said the COLA would give a boost to consumer spending next year, amounting to about $25 billion in government support, or 0.2 percent more economic growth, if beneficiaries spend it all.

For comparison, last year’s 2 percentage point cut in Social Security payroll taxes was worth $115 billion to U.S. households.

households on fixed incomes,” he said.

Federal law requires the program to base annual payment increases on the Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W).

Officials compare inflation in the third quarter of each year — the months of July, August and September — with the same months in the previous year.

If consumer prices increases from year to year, Social Security recipients automatically get higher payments, starting the next January. If price changes are negative, the payments stay unchanged.

Only twice since 1975 — the past two years — has there been no COLA. Wednesday’s COLA announcement will come as a special joint committee of Congress weighs options to reduce the federal government’s $1.3 trillion budget deficit. In talks this summer, President Barack Obama floated the idea of adopting a new measure of inflation to calculate the COLA, one that would reduce the annual increases.

Advocates for seniors mounted an aggressive campaign against the proposal, and it was scrapped.

But it could resurface in the ongoing talks.

“We’re very concerned about that,” said Web Phillips of the National Committee to Preserve Social Security and Medicare. “I think that what this illustrates is the dangers of trying to make Social Security policy in the context of deficit reduction.”

Social Security payments increased by 5.8 percent in 2009, the largest increase in 27 years, after energy prices spiked in 2008.

But energy prices quickly dropped and home prices became soft in markets across the country, contributing to lower inflation the past two years.

Washington. “It must be the fault of those Republicans in Congress. It must be the fault of those rich people. It must be the fault of those people on Wall Street.”

“I don’t think the American people are going to fall for it. He’s been the president now for three years,” McConnell added.

The White House denies Obama is on a campaign trip. But immediately after his remarks, the president climbed aboard his sleek, milliondollar, Secret Service-approved black bus for the five-hour ride to Emporia, Va., where he was ending the day.

The bus rolled to a stop a short time later at Reid’s House in Reidsville, N.C., and the diverse crowd cheered loudly as Obama entered the restaurant for lunch.

The president worked the room, stopping to chat with one local couple who said they’d been married 59 years and joking that he and his wife, Michelle, had 40 years to go to catch up. He even complimented a local resident who said he worked in the funeral business, exclaiming, “Fantastic, that’s important work!”

Afterward, Obama encountered Laketta Hussain, who was among a group waiting outside and was using a very old cell phone or a cordless phone to talk to her grandmother. Obama took the phone and spoke for a few minutes. “I’m doing good,” he said, “except your granddaughter needs a new cell phone.”

Obama is on the second day of a threeday tour through North Carolina and Virginia that is giving him a chance to sit back, admire the colorful fall foliage and bask in some small-town Southern hospitality — in addition to pounding on the Republicans.

“There’s just something about North Carolina,” he said Tuesday. “People are just gracious and kind. Even the folks who don’t vote for me are nice to me.”

He recalled stopping for barbecue, sweet tea and hush puppies and playfully admonished the audience not to tell his health-conscious wife what he’s been eating.

JAMESTOWN, N.C. (AP) — President Barack Obama sought Tuesday to recapture some of the bipartisan appeal that helped get him elected, while using the opportunity to assail GOP lawmakers for blocking his jobs bill.

Appearing in politically important North Carolina to promote his economic measures and his re-election, Obama promised he would work with GOP lawmakers on any serious plan they put forward to help get Americans back to work.

“I’m not the Democratic president or the Republican president.

I’m the president,” Obama said as the supportive crowd at a community college near Greensboro rose to its feet. The comment echoed Obama’s 2008 campaign trail OBAMA refrain about America being the “United States” and not simply a collection of red states and blue states.

Bipartisan rhetoric aside, Obama has had few discussions with the GOP about the $447 billion jobs bill that Senate Republicans blocked last week. The bill is being broken into pieces so Congress can vote on its individual components.

“We got 100 percent ‘no’ from Republicans in the Senate,” Obama said.

“Now that doesn’t make any sense.”

He said the GOP’s jobs plan amounts to gutting environmental regulations, increasing domestic oil production, rolling back Obama-era reforms of the financial system and repealing the health care law enacted last year.

“Now that’s a plan,” Obama said, “but it’s not a jobs plan.”

The top Senate Republican, Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, in turn accused Obama of accepting that the economy won’t improve significantly by Election Day and trying to blame anyone but himself for it.

McConnell said the public will figure it out.

“The president I think has become convinced that the economy is not likely to be much better a year from now. So he has started the campaign 13 months early and he’s trying to convince the American people that it’s anybody else’s fault but his that we’re where we are,” McConnell said in

The city this summer had approved $150,000 for the project, but the Ohio Department of Transportation has placed additional requirements on the project — including wider sidewalks and additional traffic controls and pedestrian crossing signals — which have boosted the anticipated cost, according to city staff.

The project is being funded with proceeds from the city’s Tax

Initially, city staff suggested that a grant be submitted for South Market Street from Franklin to Canal streets, a project now dubbed Phase 3B.

Council approves architectural firm

BY CECILIA FOX Ohio Community Media editorial@tdnpublishing.com On Monday night, Tipp City Council approved a resolution hiring an architectural firm to design the fire station renovation and expansion project.

“It was ultimately determined by the committee that Michael Schuster Associates was the most qualified professional design firm for this project,” said City Manager Jon Crusey, who was a member of the interviewing committee that chose the firm, along with the assistant city manager, and the EMS and Fire Chiefs.

Michael Schuster Associates will handle the design work for the project, which is scheduled to begin next year.

The Cincinnati-based firm will complete the design work in two phases, the first being an assessment of the existing building and the design of several concept diagrams. The resolution authorized a contract for Phase I at $25,000.

After Phase I is complete, the city will select one design and contract with the firm for the building design and construction documents.

This project was recommended by the Citizens’ Capital Improvement Program Review Committee earlier this

TIPP CITY year.

The council also adopted a resolution renewing the contract with TippMonroe Community Services (TMCS) for $17,000. The resolution passed 6-1; Council member Bryan Budding cast the dissenting vote.

“I’m not denying that it’s a good cause, but I don’t see how we can take taxpayer money and use it for a charitable organization,” said Budding, who argued that government should not have any role in recreation.

Other council members defended the program, which provides a variety of recreational, educational and enrichment programs for both youth and adults.

“I think you would have to look really hard to find a municipality anywhere in the United States that doesn’t have a recreation program. I think you’re being a bit extreme, with all due respect,” said Councilman George Lovett.

Budding argued that recreation, and the renewal of the contract with TMCS, is not the taxpayers’ obligation.

“When you take money from the taxpayer which charity they’re going to give to, you deny them the freedom to give to the charity they want,” said Budding.

“

I’m not denying that it’s a good cause, but I don’t see how we can take taxpayer money and use it for a charitable organization.

— Bryan Budding

”

The program sponsors sports programs, art, dance, and other classes, community events and social services like the eyeglass program, the diaper and formula fund, and the mobile meals program.

“I can respect Mr. Budding’s comments, but I think the taxpayers have spoken loud and clear more than one time,” said Councilman Joe Gibson, pointing to the multiple levy renewals the TMCS has seen in past years as evidence that the residents of Tipp City support the program.

In addition to the city’s $17,000 contract, a levy supporting TMCS will be on the Nov. 8 ballot.

It is a renewal and not an increase in taxes, and will cost the owner of a $100,000 home two cents a day.

PERSPECTIVE

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

— First Amendment, U.S. Constitution

EDITORIAL ROUNDUP Japan Times, Tokyo, on phasing out nuclear energy: The Japanese Trade Union Confederation (Rengo), Japan’s largest labor organization, in its Oct. 4-5 convention decided to pursue a society that will eventually stop relying on nuclear power. This is a departure from its earlier policy of pushing building of new nuclear power plants. Within Rengo, power company unions that support the promotion of nuclear power are a strong force.

Rengo’s leadership should be praised for correctly understanding the severity of the disaster at Tokyo Electric Power Co.’s Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant and responding to the public’s strong call for phasing out nuclear power.

Rengo President Nobuaki Koga told the convention that the Fukushima crisis has made the leadership realize that when an accident happens at a nuclear power plant, it causes enormous damage. Since Rengo is the biggest supporter of the Democratic Party of Japan, it is hoped that its decision will positively affect the DPJ and the administration of Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda.

In order to reduce Japan’s dependence on nuclear power, Rengo has proposed securing alternative energy sources that can replace nuclear power, aggressively promoting renewable energy sources and pushing energy-saving measures. As a short-term measure to secure a sufficient supply of energy, Rengo has accepted restarting nuclear power plants currently out of operation on the condition that the government strengthens and verifies their safety and that local people accept their restart.

To realize a non-nuclear society, Rengo should work out a road map that identifies a target year when all the nation’s nuclear power plants would permanently cease operations and submit it to the government.

The Globe and Mail, Toronto, on Egypt’s military rule: The violence unleashed by Egypt’s military against Coptic Christian protesters has cast a pall over the country’s peaceful transition to democracy.

The Supreme Council for the Armed Forces has shown it neither knows how to be a caretaker government, nor is it capable of keeping public order, respecting human rights or protecting religious minorities. It has gone from being viewed as inexperienced and incompetent — to being seen as repressive.

The unarmed demonstrators who gathered on Oct. 9 outside the Cairo offices of the state-run television station were expressing their dismay over the burning of a church in the country’s south. Soldiers shot at the crowd, and charged them in armored vehicles, killing 25 people.

The incident underscores the difficulty of Egypt’s post-revolutionary phase, and the need for the military to step aside. The armed forces were initially viewed as heroes for refusing to shoot on civilians during the momentous uprising earlier this year in Tahrir Square, which brought the 30-year rule of president Hosni Mubarak to an end.

But eight months later, the military council has become increasingly authoritarian. It has refused to create a timetable for handing over power to civilians and doesn’t plan to relinquish control to an elected president until 2013 — though at first it pledged to do so in six months.

The establishment of an elected government would ensure the military goes back to where it belongs: the barracks. The international community — especially the U.S., which gives the military $1.3-billion in annual aid — should pressure the military council to reverse their repressive measures.

Egypt’s political parties, which are fielding candidates in parliamentary elections in November, have already made this demand, to no avail. The military should leave governing and public security to others, and allow democracy to flourish.

LETTERS

Vote Clark for city council To the Editor: To the voters in Troy: I hope all of you exercise your right to vote. You know, you should not complain if you do not vote.

I am here to say we have some really good people who have been voted into office to work for our wonderful city of Troy. We have some very dedicated workers who look to our best interests when decisions are made. This is why we have

such a great town where many come to shop, eat, and just enjoy the scenery.

I would like to ask that you support Alan Clark in his reelection as an At-Large candidate for City Council. Alan has always recognized the work of the volunteers who are involved in activities to better our city, and he is active in looking forward for our city while being careful to protect what we have.

He does his homework. He is someone you can go to with an idea or complaint and he will listen and do his best for

you, while being objective in hearing all sides. He is very involved in our community as a volunteer in many organizations.

So, while it is important to vote on November 8, in order to have a say in what goes on in our city, it is also important, to make one of those votes for Alan Clark, At Large Candidate for CIty Council.

You will continue to have someone who has our best interests as his priority.

— Rosemary Jones Troy

Are we too tuned in for our own good? Troy Troy Daily News Kindle’s, iPhone’s, tablets and iPads and every other robot animated contraption on the face of this Earth have taken over our lives.

I realized the other day when I was in Panera how incredibly tech-oriented we are today. It’s almost to a ridiculous point. There was one guy in a booth with a gigantic screened phone. What happen to the days when the goal was to have the smallest phone?

We have slowly gravitated toward the opposite again. Where is Zach and Schlater?

Anyway, there was a guy with the gigantic phone, about two or three guys in suit and ties with the iPad or every other variation that is the thin tab thing, that I would break within six months if I were to ever think of owning one.

Heck, I would probably break it at the thought of purchasing one.

There were a couple of people with old school Dell computers, a few Macbook’s and otherwise other phones or technologically advanced contraptions.

Then in the corner there was a lone reed, the one person standing strong with their coffee in one hand and a legit newspaper, in it’s

Katie Yantis Troy Daily News Columnist original form, not purchased online or bought through eBay. Imagine that. Congratulations to you sir, you are making a statement to some people.

Now, what I have decided is that technology is taking over and in some ways not helping at all enhance my life.

So in the midst of a world filled with statements like “tag me on Facebook” or “get a hold of me on Twitter” I have walked away from it. I have never tweeted on Twitter nor had the desire to, however Facebook quickly became an addiction I no longer care to fuel.

While I will admit it has helped me in my business world, it doesn’t provide many other positives other than keeping in touch

with people on the other side of the country (which is why I will eventually return).

You see, I have decided to take a leave of absence from Facebook for awhile.

While I will admit it won’t be forever and I never intended it to be, I am not signing into the time consuming manifestation that is the Facebook for awhile.

I do have to thank Mark Zuckerberg for one thing. The ease of signing back in, having everything there for you the way you left makes it easy to go back.

While I will admit, many of my family and friends make fun of my addiction, I am doing much better at being off of the addicting site than they and even I thought I would be.

It has been amusing to me that because I am no longer on the site and people no longer have immediate access to my life, they think there is something wrong. While I do have multiple reasons for being off the site and getting away, it by no means, means that I am on the verge of needing medical help.

In the midst of being off Facebook, I have even thought about throwing my cell phone in

the river. Ok, we all know that’s not true. But it has been nice, not having my phone go off constantly with status updates and “like’s” and “so and so commented on your photo and or status.”

Now, I have filled my time with better stuff. For example, working more, I took the time to watch one of my favorite movies “You’ve Got Mail,” running more and I even dug out my word search book to do a few pages of before hitting the pillow.

If you feel yourself being consumed by technology, just take a step back and unplug for awhile.

You will be surprised how liberating it can really be. You will have your moments when you are bored and you think “Oh, let me check my Facebook,” but then you remember there are much more important things you can do to enhance your life — like going for a walk being surrounded by the fall colors, carving pumpkins, doing word searches or imagine this: spending time with people in real life that you so often comment on their Facebook walls.

Looking for a connection Tenth Avenue North to perform Thursday at Troy’s Hobart Arena

BY JIM DAVIS Staff Writer davis@tdnpublishing.com

Now that they’ve enjoyed some success, Owen said Tenth Avenue North is constantly trying to find new ways to interact with fans, whether it’s through music or in person. The band’s new album — expected to be done by mid2012 — offers just such an opportunity.

“We’re trying on this tour to find different ways to connect with fans,” he said. “For one, signing lines and meet and greets are troublesome for us because we feel like they’re shuffling people in to look at animals in a zoo. It’s on the surface at best. On this new album, we’re trying to find time with fans to spread the word … to get fans to sing on the record and connect with them, but not in such a hurried fashion.

“It was kind of a ‘How do we get our fans to connect? We got some traveling recording equipment and have fans

singing along with us in group fashion,” he continued. “We just have to make sure the tempo and key is right. Once we record the songs, we’ll throw all the fans’ stuff in and get them on at least a track.

“We’re super pumped about it because it’s been well over two years since our last record and we’re ready to be creative again.”

Owen said band members constantly revisit the motivation and purpose behind why they’re out on the road sharing God’s message.

“It’s always at the forefront of what we do. If we’re up there on stage, we wonder ‘Where are we going to take people,’” Owen said. “If I think about doing this because it pays well or because it feels good, I’m always going to want more. And that always feels cold. (But) when we have a fan come up to us and say, ‘Hey, I was going through this tough time and this song changed me in a way, or I experienced something in a whole new way through this — then that’s when it pays off. Moments like those are why we do this.”

Maybe even the type of moment when they know they’ve made a connection …

According to treasurer Chuck Klein, Terazzo flooring is more durable, easier to maintain and nicer looking. It is more expensive than rubber flooring, but was offered at a discount by the Terazzo supplier while they were laying floor in the hallway and restrooms.

The amendment approved Monday night added a basic fee of $5,230.22 to cover the extra Terazzo.

It is now in-between the superintendent’s and treasurer’s report, instead of after the treasurer’s report.

This comes as a result of last month’s board discussion, spurred on by resident Raymond Landis.

Landis actually asked for the public to be able to comment after each agenda item, but the board

WEST MILTON thought that would make meetings too long. The agenda move, however, does allow residents to comment on fiscal matters.

“Now the public can talk prior to any vote about finances,” said Superintendent Ginny Rammel.

Another change in communication with the public is on the website.

Starting with the Nov. 21 board meeting, agendas will be posted on the district website a week beforehand.

Libyans close to total victory BANI WALID, Libya (AP) — Revolutionary forces celebrated the capture of one Moammar Gadhafi stronghold and closed in Tuesday on the last holdouts in the fugitive leader’s hometown of Sirte, putting total victory in their eightmonth uprising just a few city blocks away.

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton offered millions of dollars in new aid to Libya, encouraging the country’s unsteady new leadership to commit to a democratic future free of retribution.

“I am proud to stand here on the soil of a free Libya,” Clinton said on a visit to the capital, Tripoli. “The United States was proud to stand for you in your fight for freedom and we will continue to stand with you as you continue this journey.”

Although two months have passed since Gadhafi fled the capital, Libya’s new leaders have refrained from declaring national “liberation” until the fall of Sirte, which Gadhafi transformed from a fishing village into a modern city after he seized power in 1969.

Revolutionary forces on Tuesday pushed from the east into the small pocket of the city under the control of Gadhafi loyalists and captured a vegetable market, though they came under heavy fire from snipers and rocket-propelled grenades on the rooftops of residential buildings and homes along major streets.

Abdul-Hadi Ali, fighting with the revolutionary forces, said the battle for Sirte, 250 miles (400 kilometers) southeast of Tripoli, was essentially finished so he was now returning home to the eastern city of Benghazi.

“The fighting in Sirte is nearly over,” Ali said, adding that the holdouts were surrounded in a narrow, two-block area. “I think they have a lot of ammunition, but our fighters will fire Grads and get it over with so maybe tomorrow it will be liberated and bombed and we will begin the hunt for Gadhafi.”

In an apparent warning that Gadhafi could still threaten the new leadership if he continues to elude capture, Clinton acknowl-

North-South Korea talks in U.S. serious, but civil ATHENS, Ga. (AP) — North and South Korean representatives holding informal talks meant to help resolve a nuclear standoff are sitting together at meals in the U.S., sharing laughs and even breaking out together in song.

But longstanding disputes still cropped up Tuesday on the second day of the summit being held at the University of Georgia, the site chosen for the discussions.

Members of the U.S. and South Korea delegations told The Associated Press that the closed-door talks have been serious at times and light-hearted and respectful at other moments.

“That doesn’t mean they are agreeing, but it is important,” said Jim Walsh, an expert in international security and a research associate at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Security Studies Program. “In

there, they’re all Koreans. The Americans are the foreigners in the room.”

At dinner Monday night, North and South Korean delegates sat with each other as they dined on filet mignon, pan-seared tuna and chocolate tart. At one point they stood and joined each other in song as South Korean violinist Yong-Ku Ahn played a folk tune familiar to both sides, according to several people who were present.

Walsh, who is taking part in the sessions, said he doesn’t expect the North to agree to firm preconditions to resume official sixparty nuclear talks. But he believes there will have to be compromise on all sides.

“I don’t expect the Americans to report to the government that the U.S. should do everything North Korea wants and I don’t expect South Korea to go back and tell their government that,” Walsh said.

expressed surprise at the tenacity of the Gadhafi loyalists, who have continued to resist the revolutionaries despite the collapse of the regime and the disappearance of their eccentric leader.

It is unclear whether loyalists who slipped out of the besieged cities of Bani Walid and Sirte might continue the fight and attempt to organize an insurgency using the vast amount of weapons Gadhafi was believed to have stored in hideouts in the remote southern desert.

Unlike Iraq’s Saddam Hussein, Gadhafi had no well-organized political party that could form the basis of an insurgent leadership.

However, regional and ethnic differences have already appeared among the ranks of the revolutionaries, possibly laying the foundation for civil strife.

Gadhafi has issued several audio recordings trying to rally supporters. Libyan officials have said they believe he’s hiding somewhere in the vast southwestern desert near the borders with Niger and Algeria.

Covington Council OKs rezoning

BY TOM MILLHOUSE Ohio Community Media tmillhouse@dailycall.com During a meeting attended by an unusually large number of local residents, Covington Village Council voted Monday night to approve a request to rezone two parcels of land at the north end of Pearl Street for the future construction of two homes.

At the beginning of the council meeting a hearing was conducted on the proposed rezoning.

Jim Larson has requested the rezoning of two lots from conservation to onefamily residential. He told council members that future plans call for the construction of homes on the property by his son, David Larson, and his son-in-law, Andy Shaffer. He said a definite timetable has not been set for the construction of the homes.

During the public comment portion of the hearing, local resident David Kenworthy raised concerns about drainage problems in the area. “We’re not against building houses, all we ask is drainage be put in to take care of the flooding conditions,” Kenworthy said.

COVINGTON Council members were presented with photos showing flooding in the area.

Shaffer pointed out that there are other areas contributing to the flooding in the area, not just his family’s property.

Council member Scott Tobias, who also serves on the Covington Planning and Zoning Commission, said the issue at hand was whether to approve the rezoning. He said drainage issues would be addressed when the Larsons present a site plan to the Planning and Zoning for approval to move forward with the home construction.

“I don’t think the site plan is going to make all that water go away,” Tobias said. However, he did say that the site plan will make sure “that property doesn’t add to the problem.”

It was noted that any future site plan will be considered at a Planning and Zoning Commission meeting that will be open to the public.

Although Mayor Ed McCord said earlier in the hearing that he didn’t think

action would be taken on the rezoning, after council reconvened in regular session, members voted to approve the rezoning request.

Earlier in Monday’s meeting, McCord presented certificates of appreciation to members of the Covington-Newberry Historical Association for their work to preserve the community’s history and traditions. Receiving the certificates were Mary Nickel, Dixie Harnish and Mark Shilling.

“Mary is the real driving force of the historical society,” McCord said in presenting Nickel with her award.

Council heard a comprehensive presentation by Larry Johnson, vice president of the Hylant Group, based in Sharonville, on his review of village property and liability insurance coverage.

Johnson said his review, with the help of village employees, surveyed all village properties and equipment. He then assessed the village’s current insurance coverage to see if changes were needed.

Johnson said in many cases it was determined that the village did not have sufficient coverage and adjustments were made.

Council member Chip Shaffer noted the changes nearly doubled the village’s coverage, but only increased the total premium from $22,199 to $26,765.

“You’re talking about a pretty big amount of money,” Shaffer said of the additional coverage that now stands at $13.5 million.

Council authorized McCord to enter into an agreement to extend the village’s coverage for another month until village officials, including the Covington Board of Public Affairs, have a chance to review all the changes. Final action is expected during a council meeting in November.

In other action council: • Gave first reading to a revised village income tax ordinance.

• Accepted the resignation of Chris Alexander as a member of the Covington Fire Department and approved the reinstatement of Nick Meyer, who is rejoining the department.

• Approved hiring Jeremy Yingst as a part-time employee during the absence of village employee Ben Vincent, who suffered a sports-related injury.

• Approved a contract with SMS proTech Maintenance at a cost of $207.

March deadline set to fix Ohio River bridge

Holiday Cook-Off

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Indiana on Tuesday awarded a $13.9 million contact to repair a closed Ohio River bridge linking southern Indiana and northern Kentucky to a Louisville, Ky.-based company that promised to have the nearly 50-year-old span reopened by early March.

Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels said Hall Contracting of Kentucky has committed to finishing the work to reinforce the Sherman Minton Bridge in 135 work days, with March 2 as the “target date” for completion. If it meets that goal, the double-decker bridge that links New Albany, Ind., and Louisville will have been closed nearly six months by the time it reopens.

Hall Contacting, whose bid was the lowest among the four companies that bid on the project, also proposed the fastest time schedule for making the repairs, at 135 days. Its bid was $2.5 million less than the next highest bidder and has a 15-day shorter work completion time frame.

Daniels said the cost and time-frame for completion outlined in the four bids were considered along with the credibility, “the fitness and appropriateness” and other factors outlined in each of the bids.

The governor said he was “very pleasantly surprised” that the winning bid was well below the $20 million initial estimate for the repairs.

“But money was never the issue really to us. Safety

Sponsored by El Sombrero and the Upper Valley Career Center

was the first issue and speed of reopening the bridge the second issue,” Daniels said. “What I’m really excited about is 135 days and the possibility of maybe beating that by a day or two or three.”

Indiana and Kentucky will each pay about $5.2 million toward the project to add about 2.4 million pounds of new steel plating along both sides of the bridge ties that run horizontally along the upstream and downstream sides of the 1,600-foot bridge.

The federal government is expected to pay about $3.4 million, or a quarter of the costs, Daniels said.

The governor said the work will result in a much stronger bridge, adding at least 20 more years to the life of the span, which opened in 1962.

Indiana Department of Transportation Commissioner Michael Cline said the company is expected to receive full authorization to begin work Wednesday on reinforcing the bridge with the plating.

Indiana, which oversees the maintenance of the span, ordered the bridge closed Sept. 9 at Daniels’ direction after a 2 1/2-inchlong crack was found in a steel support beam.

Inspectors later found more cracks in the bridge, which carries Interstate 64 across the river and had been used each day by about 80,000 cars. The closure has funneled traffic onto the area’s two other Ohio River bridges, creating longer rush-hour delays.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Friend will eventually get over it Dear Annie: My husband and I have an old friend whom we've known more than 40 years. For the past 20, we have alternated spending Christmas Eve together.

"Betsy" has one unmarried adult son who has not attended our Christmas events in many years. Our daughter now spends Christmas Eve with her husband's family. My son and his wife, along with one aunt and uncle, have always come to us for the holidays, so the events at our home and Betsy's have been lovely adult affairs. However, this year, our son has a new baby, and they are flying in to celebrate.

Yesterday, I had coffee with Betsy and asked whether she'd mind if we host again this year since it would be so much simpler with the baby. Our house is already equipped with a highchair, portable crib, toys, etc. And it would be much easier for our son and daughter-in-law since Betsy's house is not baby-proofed and our grandson will be 11 months old and getting into things.

Betsy's response was quite hurtful. She said my husband and I are too structured and kids should just go with the flow. I didn't back down, and she finally relented, but in an unfriendly way, saying she didn't want to "create a crisis." She totally does not understand how much things will change with the addition of a toddler at a dinner party. I tried to get her to see our side, but she couldn't.

Next year, we will probably go to Betsy's, since our son will likely start coming home every other Christmas. But what do you think of her response? — A Devoted Grandmother Dear Grandmother: Actually, we can see both sides. Obviously, it is easier if the baby is at your house. However, children are quite adaptable and can manage at other places, too, if the parents keep a sharp eye, bring along toys and have a place for the child to lie down. Parents do it every day. Still, we wish Betsy had been more gracious in responding to your request. It has obviously created some illwill.

Dear Annie: You answered a question about how much to tip for carryout restaurant service. I have the same question about a buffet.

If the employee simply fills your drink order and takes away your dirty plates, do we need to leave the same 15 percent to 20 percent tip that is suggested for a regular meal? My wife thinks a dollar tip is good enough. I think it should be at least 10 percent of the buffet cost. What do you say, Annie? — Wondering in El Paso Dear El Paso: You win this one. The server at a buffet who fills your drink order and clears your plates should be tipped 10 percent of the tab (before taxes).

Thanks for asking.

Dear Annie: Thanks for printing the letter from "Glendora, Calif.," the 87-year-old who misses his kids but understands that they are living their own lives. I needed that, as I am currently packing up after being in the Pasadena area for 78 years.

I am moving into an independent living facility. I was given a trial run at the facility and loved it. There were games to play, activities for the mind as well as the body, parties on the patio and myriad other activities that will keep me plenty busy. I will also be relatively close to my grandchildren, if 400 miles is close.

I have no intention of sitting on my kids' doorstep, but do relish being able to spend holidays with them. The rest of the time will be theirs when they want me, and to fill the void, I will walk my two small dogs, play bridge, join discussion groups and enjoy participating with others in day-to-day living. Life is truly a gift to use and enjoy. — Pasadena Nana Dear Nana: We love your attitude.

MONAY’S SOLUTION:

HINTS FROM HELOISE

Reader requests Heloise’s taco seasoning mix recipe Dear Heloise: I remember seeing a recipe for Heloise’s taco seasoning mix where I could make a large amount to keep on hand.

I hope I wasn’t seeing things. — Billye Riegel, via email You are right! This Heloise recipe is just about equal to an envelope of seasoning from the grocery store. You need: 2 teaspoons chili powder Salt, pepper and onion powder, to taste (start with a sprinkle) A dash of crushed, dried oregano Mix the ingredients together. You’ll be able to use this

Hints from Heloise Columnist seasoning on all different foods, but it’s super with the Heloise Taco Casserole recipe.

This recipe has no set amounts and is perfect for those leftovers just sitting in the refrigerator! You can start with the following: Taco shells or some type of taco/corn chip

Salsa Ground beef/ground turkey or shredded chicken (already cooked), with the taco seasoning to flavor the meat Beans Cheese Sour cream Black olives/green olives Lettuce/onions Grease (or nonstick-spray) a casserole dish (use the size dish you think you need, depending on the amount of ingredients).

Put some salsa on the bottom; place a layer of torn-up tacos or chips, then layer with cooked taco meat and beans, cheese and whatever else (pep-

per, onions, etc.). Top with cheese.

Bake until thoroughly heated, then cover with sour cream, olives, lettuce and tomatoes before serving.

For more recipes that are always requested favorites, order my pamphlet Heloise’s All-Time Favorite Recipes. To get one, send $5 and a long, self-addressed, stamped (64 cents) envelope to: Heloise/Recipes, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001. If chili powder or another red spice looks brown rather than red, it means it’s probably time to replace it. — Heloise

ARLO AND JANIS

HOROSCOPE Wednesday, Oct. 19, 2011 Instead of taking gambles on persons or things about which you know little, bet only on yourself in the year ahead.

You’ll have several good potential projects and, even if you fail, you’ll know why and what to do about it in the future.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Take care not to let your anger out on an innocent bystander if you are overpowered or outmaneuvered on an important matter. Count to 10 before opening your mouth.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Maintain mental discipline regardless of what happens to throw you off. Underestimating the value of essential elements in your endeavors could cause you to unravel.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Keep both your social and business contacts separate and, above all, avoid all speculative arrangements with friends. If things don’t go the way they should, you’ll be to blame.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Taking on more objectives or projects that you can comfortably manage is self-defeating, so don’t gamble on your workload. Dedicate yourself to only one or two targets.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Don’t be coerced into putting your signature on something that you’re hesitant about, and be wary of even a verbal commitment. What you agree to might be deliberately distorted.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — It behooves you to be self-reliant, because people upon whom you depend might make promises they later find they can’t keep. Personal requirements will take precedence over yours.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) — If you’re a bit slow and your thinking isn’t quite as sharp as it usually is, forgo attempting to match wits with an adversary. Back off until a riper time.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Look before you leap when attempting to handle a complex assignment. You could easily misread something and end up making your task twice as hard to accomplish.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — There is a strong chance that some social plans you’ve been looking forward to will get canceled or postponed. Be prepared with some backup plans so you won’t experience a total letdown.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) — It’s never smart to allow someone who can be dead weight into an arrangement where you and several others are aiming for a specific target. He or she is likely to hold you back once again.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — There is one thing that could cause you much disarray, and that is proceeding forward on an idea without laying out a proper game plan. Take a moment to formulate one.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Unless you are prudent in the management of your resources, you’re not likely to have the financial wherewithal to make ends meet when you really need to.

(AP) — Today is Wednesday, Oct. 19, the 292nd day of 2011.

There are 73 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Oct. 19, 1936, H.R. Ekins of the New York World-Telegram beat out Dorothy Kilgallen of the New York Journal and Leo Kieran of The New York Times in a round-the-world race on commercial flights that lasted 18 and days.

Vikings cruise vs. Dixie

BY COLIN FOSTER Sports Writer cfoster@tdnpublishing.com Heading into the Division I Sectional tournament opener against a 2-15-0 West Carrollton team, there was no denying it — Troy expected to win.

And it did exactly that.

The Trojans opened up a 3-1 lead by the half and coasted to a 5-1 victory Monday night at Troy Memorial Stadium in a game in which Troy outshot West Carrollton 29-4.

Staff Reports BROOKVILLE — Miami East knows it will need everyone playing at their highest level throughout the entire Division III tournament and will need roleplayers to, at times, be star players.

They got one such performance Tuesday night.

TROY

MIAMI COUNTY

“It’s one of those games we were supposed to win,” Troy coach Mike Rasey said. “We came out a little flat. We had opportunities. When you get 29 shots, you kind of figure you will score more than we did, but at the same time, you’ve got to come out and get that first one out of the way.”

Troy got its first goal out of the way at the 34:30 mark of the first half as Leah Soutar

Allie Millhouse served a total of 26 points against ninth-seeded Dixie in the second round of the sectional tournament, helping the Vikings (23-1) overcome sluggish starts in their first two games — and then top-seeded Miami East played like it in the third game to close out a 25-11, 25-11, 25-7 sweep Tuesday at Brookville High School.

ALAMEDA, Calif. (AP) — The Oakland Raiders made a bold move to replace injured quarterback Jason Campbell on Tuesday, trading two high draft picks to the Cincinnati Bengals for Carson Palmer.

Coach Hue Jackson paid a high price to acquire a quarterback he knows well but who has struggled in recent years and refused to report the Bengals this season despite being under contract through 2014.

The Bengals had been adamant about not trading Palmer, who wanted to be dealt from a team that has had only two winning records in the last 20 years.

Owner Mike Brown repeatedly insisted he wouldn’t consider Palmer’s request for a trade because he didn’t want to reward him for holding out. He changed his mind after the Raiders

Murray

Trojans

■ CONTINUED FROM B1 Division I State golf tournament at Ohio State University’s Gray Golf Course Friday and Saturday, Murray — who had the best finish of all of the freshman in the field last season — will go in with a few advantages she didn’t have last year.

Having qualified as a freshman and played on the same course in the same kind of atmosphere, Murray will be more prepared for what’s to come.

“I’ve played the course at a camp before, and I watched my sister play on it a couple of times, too.

(Playing in the tournament last year) definitely helps a lot,” she said.

“We took trips up to Weatherwax (the district tournament site).

Qualifying for state, it’s not a given. You still have to play pretty well — and there are other teams that play that course every day, see where other people make mistakes on it, figure out how to play it and get comfortable with it. It’s definitely an advantage in that sense.”

Murray’s older sister, Laura, was a senior during her freshman season and

was a three-time state qualifier. But with her gone now, Lindsey said that not much has changed on the course.

“Most of the girls from last year were back on our team, so it hasn’t been terribly different,” she said.

“It’s been an adjustment around the house, though.

We’re pretty close, and now she’s off at college. That’s where the difference has been.”

The sophomore also learned what it will take at the tournament — two complete days.

Murray shot a 77 to open last year’s tournament and was in a threeway tie for eighth after the first day. She finished with an 83, though, to fall to 18th — but still was better than anyone else in her class.

But she wants more “I definitely didn’t get the outcome I wanted last year,” Murray said. “I definitely expect to play better.

I don’t just want to be the top sophomore this time. I want to play to the ability I know I can.

“I’m just going to go out and play my best, and whatever is supposed to happen will happen.”

Indians advance Staff Reports

MIAMI COUNTY

PITSBURG — Taylor Steck’s goal proved to be the difference maker for Newton, helping it to a 1-0 win over Franklin Monroe Monday to kick off the Division III Sectional tournament.

Newton improves to 95-3 on the year, while Franklin Monroe drops to 7-7-3.

The Indians also advanced to the second round and will face topseeded Miami East Thursday.

Valley View 2, Milton-Union 0 GERMANTOWN — Valley View took a 1-0 lead into the half and scored a goal in the final 20 min-

utes of play to ensure a 2-0 victory over Milton-Union in Division II Sectional tournament play on Tuesday.

Though Milton-Union goalie Kelsey Flory gave up two goals, Milton-Union coach Andy Grudich was pleased with her effort.

“Kelsey had an outstanding game,” Grudich said. “She faced quite a few shots, and she did a great job all night.”

The loss ends the season for Milton-Union.

“I’d just like to thank the seniors,” Grudich said.

“They did a great job for the last four years. I wish them luck.”

Troy’s Catelyn Schmiedebusch intercepts a pass Monday against West Carrollton.

■ CONTINUED FROM B1 brushed past two defenders with some nifty moves and touched the ball to the corner of the net past the West Carrollton goalie for a 1-0 lead. Troy grabbed a 2-0 advantage 11 minutes later when Ashley Rector delivered a nice touch pass on the back side to senior Kathryn Lewis, who knocked it past the goalie.

Meanwhile, the Troy defense continued to be a wall, not giving the Pirates any good looks at the goal and swarming the Pirate offense when it got near the goal box. In fact, West Carrollton’s first shot attempt came at the 13-minute mark, but goalie Mackenzie Schulz had no problems handling it.

Ashley Littrell made in 3-0 when she connected on a goal off of a beautiful pass made from the corner by senior Liana Corio, coming with 12 minutes left in the first half.

But soon after, West Carrollton’s Lara Shultz caught a break off a Troy deflection, allowing her to punch home her team’s lone goal of the game on just the second shot attempt of the game.

Troy drew first blood in the second half when Rector — who launched a shot from 20 yards away late in the first half that hit off both post before coming out — nabbed a deflection off the goalie and lofted it over her head

Without big-name teams, World Series faces ratings challenge ST. LOUIS (AP) — A big star who’s overcome personal adversity. A popular band that everyone counted out. A crazy critter with a cute nickname.

Turn on the TV this week, and you can see top talent, neat plot lines and two loaded lineups.

So what’s it going to be: Sofia Vergara on ABC or “Criminal Minds” on CBS? Oh, the World Series?

That, too.

By any measure, the matchup of the Texas Rangers and St. Louis Cardinals that starts Wednesday night is a nifty one. A totally unexpected pairing, boosted by sluggers Albert Pujols and Josh Hamilton and spiced by a Rally Squirrel.

But minus big-market teams, and at a time when TV ratings for baseball games are dwindling, this is the overarching question as the Series begins in the shadow of the Arch at Busch Stadium: Will anyone watch?

A Yankees cap turned backward on his head as he waited to pick up a fare in midtown Manhattan, cab driver Jay Javid of Brooklyn said he wouldn’t tune in after his favorite team got eliminated.

“I’ll be watching cricket,” said Javid, who was born in Pakistan.

Milwaukee Brewers fan Andy Schaaf, who lives in Chicago, predicts poor TV numbers.

“Terrible,” he said Tuesday. “I think they’ll probably be down because New York isn’t in it, Boston isn’t in it.”

“I think there’s a lot of

St. Louis Cardinals’ Albert Pujols runs during practice for Game 1 of the World Series against the Texas Rangers Tuesday in St. Louis. people like me who’ll watch if it gets close late, but who won’t drop everything to watch Texas-St. Louis,” Schaaf added.

The Rangers didn’t make much of a dent last year, when their games against the San Francisco Giants drew an 8.4 rating. That matched the lowest ever for a World Series, tying Philadelphia and Tampa Bay in 2008. It was 39 percent higher when the Yankees and the Phillies played in 2009.

This October doesn’t bode well for Fox, either. The Detroit-Texas and Milwaukee-St. Louis showdowns for slots in the World Series attracted little interest, compared to previous years.

“Realistically, the Yankees, love ‘em or hate ‘em, they’re a big market, a lot of following around the country. It’s the same thing with the Red Sox in a way. It is what it is,” Fox Sports Vice Chairman Ed Goren said.

“I don’t particularly care about the location —

Central time zone. We don’t have East Coast, West Coast. I hope we have baseball fans. If you don’t watch, you’re not a baseball fan.”

OK, so this might not be the Most Viewed Postseason. But there will be plenty of other MVPs inside the ballparks.

Hamilton, who struggled through drug-addiction demons that nearly derailed his major league career before it began, led Texas back into the Series.

Pujols helped the Cardinals make a remarkable run in the final month that culminated with them earning a playoff spot on the final day of the regular season. Adding to the intrigue: The three-time NL MVP has spent his entire career with St. Louis, but can leave for a big-bucks contract as a free agent this winter.

“If you haven’t seen us playing and you think there’s no fun with the way we’ve been playing or the way Texas is playing, then you’re not really a true fan of baseball,” Pujols said.

Add in David Freese, the local guy who blossomed into a St. Louis star; Texas fixture Michael Young, who asked for a trade and then stuck around; and a plucky squirrel who scampers across home plate at Busch Stadium, and there’s ample to enjoy.

“It’s two middle-of-thecountry teams,” Texas second baseman Ian Kinsler said. “I think it’s awesome that there’s no coasts here.”

Curt Schilling is eager to see what happens. He became part of postseason lore when he pitched with a bloody sock for Boston in 2004, and is a three-time World Series champion.

“There’s a ton of stories just under the surface of the fact that, yeah, maybe these aren’t two of the markets that jump off the page at you,” the ESPN analyst said.

“But the amount of human interest stories involved in both of these teams getting back to this place and how they did that, from the front office on down.”

Jimmy Depuys said the World Series won’t be turned on in his sportsthemed Marge’s Bar in Grosse Pointe Park, Mich.

He’ll stick strictly to the NFL and NHL. “It’s going to be only Lions and Wings from here on out,” he said.

Of course, he could skip the World Series and tune into the highly rated “Criminal Minds” on Wednesday night, too.

They’ve got top-notch stars and an interesting plot this week.

Something about an investigation in St. Louis, of all places.

■ CONTINUED FROM B1 Millhouse finished with six aces and seven digs on the night.

“She was on fire,” Miami East coach John Cash said.

“Hitting zones, hitting spots, getting aces — she gave us what we needed.

“We made a few mistakes early in the first two games and were playing side-out volleyball, but Allie put us on big runs in both and we never looked back.”

There were plenty of big performances to go around, too.

Sam Cash had 10 kills, 10 assists, an ace and a dig, Leah Dunivan had eight kills, two aces, two blocks and two digs, Angie Mack had eight kills, an ace and three digs, Abby Cash had seven kills, 10 assists, three aces and eight digs, Kelsey Vanchure had two kills, Ashley Current had a kill and a block and Allison Morrett had four digs and an assist.

“We looked as good as we’ve looked all year in the third set,” Cash said. “The girls decided they were ready to put it away. They came up with a goal of how many points they were going to allow in that set — and they blew it out of the water.”

The Vikings now move on to Saturday’s sectional final to face the winner between Milton-Union and Arcanum, which was in progress at time of press.

Milton-Union had won the first game 25-17.

• Division IV Sectional Lehman 3, Bradford 0 TIPP CITY — The Bradford volleyball team’s season came to an end Monday as the Railroaders ran into the defending state champion Lehman Cavaliers in the Division II Sectional tournament and lost 25-5, 25-6, 25-9 to Lehman in the opening round Monday at Tippecanoe High School.

■ National Football League

Palmer ■ CONTINUED FROM B1 offered a 2012 first-round pick and a second-rounder in 2013 for the 31-year-old quarterback. The Raiders (4-2) became desperate for a quarterback after Campbell broke his collarbone during a win over the Browns. Campbell had surgery Monday and was expected to miss at least six weeks, leaving the Raiders with only Kyle Boller and Terrelle Pryor on the roster.

Jackson’s mantra all season has been “the time is now,” and he backed that up by dealing for Palmer, who is coming off a 20-

interception season last year with the Bengals.

Brown said the play of rookie Andy Dalton made it easier to trade Palmer.

“We also find ourselves rather suddenly in position of being able to receive real value for Carson that can measurably improve our team, which is performing well and is showing real promise for this year and years to come,” he said in a statement. “When this opportunity arose, we felt we could not let it pass and needed to take a step forward with the football team if we could.”

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

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

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

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

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

safety

Halloween is more enjoyable when safety is part of the holiday.

WAYS TO MAKE HALLOWEEN SAFER Halloween is a time for people young and old to enjoy a little mischief and mayhem. To make the holiday even more enjoyable, celebrants can heed a few tips to make Halloween as safe as it is pleasurable.

1. Use face paints instead of masks that obscure vision.

2. Wear reflective tape on costumes of dark colors for trick-or-treating at night.

3. LED lights or glow sticks are a safer alternative to lit candles. Some lights even flicker to offer the appeal of candles.

4. Trick-or-treat in a group; never alone.

5. Take a planned route and don’t wander off the path.

6. Be sure costumes are not tripping hazards.

7. Costume on young children should be age-appropriate and free of hazards, such as strings that can strangle or small parts that can choke.

8. Stick to trick-or-treating in trusted neighborhoods.

9. Be extra-cautious of cars when walking at night.
