Iraqis face uncertain future

Volume 103, No. 253

INSIDE

People conflicted about U.S. troop withdrawal BAGHDAD (AP) — For the first time in decades, Iraqis face a future on their own, with neither Saddam Hussein’s iron fist nor the United States’ military might to hold them together. This has been both their dream and nightmare: They wanted American troops (the occupiers) to go, but they wanted American troops (the

protectors) to stay.

Now many fear an increase in violence, growing Iranian influence and political turmoil after President Barack Obama’s definitive announcement that all U.S. forces will leave by the end of the year.

In conversations with The Associated Press, Iraqis across

the political, religious and geographic spectrum on Saturday questioned what more than eight years of war and tens of thousands of Iraqi and U.S. lives lost had wrought on their country.

They wondered how their still struggling democracy could face the challenges ahead.

“Neither the Iraqis nor the

Americans have won here,” said Adnan Omar, a Sunni from the northern Iraqi city of Kirkuk.

Rifaat Khazim, a Shiite from the southern city of Basra, said, “I do not think that this withdrawal will bring anything better to Iraq or that Iraqi leaders will be able to achieve stability and security in this country. Most of the Iraqis yearn now for Saddam’s time.

Kimberly Lockett’s apartment was one of a dozen at the Garden Manor apartment complex in Troy that got a makeover this past spring.

“It’s a big difference. I love it,” Lockett said last week, smiling as she showed off the improvements that include new flooring in the kitchen, hallways and bathrooms, new sinks and new toilets.

The $98,000 project was paid for with funds from the board of Troy Housing Opportunities United Inc. THOU is a 40-year-old, 501 (c)(4) local non-profit group

OXFORD (AP) — One Ohio college marching band will get the chance to play before 50 million television viewers in this year’s Macy’s parade.

The Cincinnati Enquirer reports that Miami University of Ohio’s marching band will play “Santa Claus is Coming to Town” on Herald Square as part of the Macy’s 85th annual Thanksgiving Day Parade on Nov. 24.

The band is one of 10 bands selected to perform, beating out 150 applicants. Miami’s is the only band from Ohio that made the cut.

Athletic band director Stephen Lytle says the band will usher in the Santa Claus float at the end of the parade.

Hall of Fame • Continued from A1 The public is invited to the ceremony, which will be followed by a reception.

Joanne Duke Gamblee Joanne Gamblee had a love of literature and a love of her adopted hometown.

She put them together to become one of Troy’s bestknown authors.

Gamblee graduated from the Ohio University School of Journalism before moving to Troy with her husband, Briggs Gamblee. The couple raised two sons and along the way Gamblee was the director of communications for the Troy Schools for 16 years.

With a gift for research and a love of history, Gamblee turned to writing books. Her first was a biography of her grandfather, a legendary horse trainer.

Then she turned her attention to Troy. Her books about Troy cover a wide range of subjects, including encounters with the supernatural, a collection of stories about exceptional Miami County women, a biography of Mary Jane Hayner and an account of the region’s response to the Great Flood of 1913.

TROY HALL OF FAME TROY — The Troy Hall of Fame recognizes outstanding achievements of Troy residents who have excelled beyond the normal requirements of their chosen fields of endeavor.

Through these achievements, the individuals have become widely recognized role models, have brought honor to themselves and to the city and have had a positive impact on the quality of life shared by the people of Troy.

The Troy Hall of Fame was started by the Troy Daily News and the Troy Foundation. The inaugural induction was in 1996.

Plaques honoring the inductees and memorabilia highlighting their accomplishments are on permanent display in glass cases just inside the main entrance of Hobart Arena. inquiring Gamblee’s mind and painstaking research have uncovered many fascinating pieces of Troy’s history. Her books make that history come alive for readers in Troy and beyond.

John E. Fulker John Fulker’s fascination with the law inspired two careers – one legal and one literary.

Fulker spent two weeks of his senior year at Troy High School not in the classroom but in the courtroom, watching a trial of a young man accused of killing his father. After graduating from Miami

and the University Columbia University School of Law, Mr. Fulker returned to Troy, where he became one of the city’s leading attorneys.

The memories of that first murder trial never faded, and years later they became the basis for Mr. Fulker’s first book, “… And True Deliverance Make.”

The writing attorney followed that success with three more books based on unusual cases that took place in Miami County.

His ability to explain how the legal system works along with his ability to capture the emotions of the people involved

make his stories classic examples of the legal thriller, only with a local twist. There’s no need to go searching for brilliant detectives or ingenious lawyers elsewhere; you can find them on the streets of Troy in John Fulker’s books.

Robert “RJ” Brown Robert “RJ” Brown has won nearly 2,000 of the 12,663 horse races he’s entered over a career that spanned six decades. He’s finished second or third another 3,665 times, and won nearly $2.5 million.

Affectionately known as “Skeeter” or “Brownie” in sulky horse racing circles all over the state of Ohio, Brown joined the Marine Corps with three friends from Troy High School at the tail end of World War II, and served in the Pacific. He began his horse racing career in 1951 in Troy, and from his home base at the Miami County Fairgrounds, has trained and raced hundreds of horses all over the state.

As a leading driver and trainer for years, Brown set a track record of 2:01.6 at Florence, Ky., in 1963, and won driving titles at Northfield in 1967 and Painesville in 1968.

R. George Kuser Jr. made the Troy Daily News an innovative leader in the world of journalism and also became an influential member of the world community.

Kuser purchased the Troy Daily News in 1955 and for more than 40 years made the paper a pioneer

in computer usage, production quality and news coverage. His company eventually also owned a number of newspapers in Ohio, including in Delphos and Port Clinton, as well as the Trenton, N.J., Times and the New Jersey Herald.

While residents of Troy are most familiar with Kuser for his work with the newspaper, he also had many other varied interests. He was president of the Troy Park Board for a term and was a strong advocate for planting trees in downtown Troy. In 1968 he moved his family to Nairobi, Kenya, where he founded an airline, Wings for Progress. The Kuser family spent five years in Kenya.

Kuser was a member of the Metropolitan Opera in New York, where he ran the auditions program for several years, then became a member of England’s Royal Shakespeare Company for three years.

He also lived and worked in Italy for 30 years and has written numerous books on a variety of subjects, including his adventures in Africa, Europe, and, of course, Troy.

Potential residents must have income levels below the federal poverty level, with rent at 30 percent of income, though in some cases it is possible to live at Garden Manor with

no income, Smith noted.

The Garden Manor rental office is at 505 Cresent Drive, Building 7, Troy. Call 335-4027, or send email to wpi0866@wallickcos.com.

He was honored with the 2002 Special Appreciation Award by the Ohio Harness Horseman’s Association and in 2004 was inducted into the Northfield Park Wall of Fame as the Top 1960s Driver and Trainer. Brown celebrated his 80th birthday between racing at the Mercer and Miami County fairs, while training as many as 17 young sulky drivers at the time. A true sportsman, he finished second in the Ohio Pro-Am golf tournament in the 1970s, and at age 87, and still plays golf regularly.

Now retired from racing, he helps train seven horses for his 22-year-old granddaughter, Devan Miller, whose father, David, is a world-class driver who has won three Little Brown Jugs, including this year’s race.

Garden Manor • Continued from A1 finally able to start the rehab,” Smith said of the project, performed by local contractor Ben Denlinger over a three-week period this past April and early May. “If all goes well, the goal is to complete all 66 units over the next few years,” said Vicki Barker, Garden Manor on-site manager for Wallick Communities, a private company contracted by THOU to oversee day-to-day management and operations at complex.

Denlinger, 30, won the bid over about a dozen other contractors. He installed new bathtubs with marble trim in the 12 units, along with pedestal sinks, for easier maintenance, and low-flow toilets

and showers, which is in keeping with an effort to “go green” and be environmentally and cost conscious, said Barker.

Denlinger said he encountered the usual challenges inherent in any living unit that is nearly 40 years old, but renovated one unit per day,

despite persistent spring rains. “Twelve units in 12 days,” he said, grinning.

“The goal of Garden Manor is to provide affordable housing” for lowincome residents, Smith said, and the complex includes a mixture of Section 8, market rate and Metro Housing units.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

“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 Newsday, New York, on the foreclosure crisis: Four years into the housing bust, it’s painfully obvious that the Obama administration’s efforts to address the foreclosure crisis have failed.

A hodgepodge of federal programs has helped only a fraction of the millions in need. Billions of dollars appropriated for keeping people in their homes have gone unspent. Uncle Sam and lenders alike have moved at a snail’s pace, unable or unwilling to cut through the tangle of red tape, perverse incentives and ethical quandaries that have so far defeated attempts at relief.

It’s time for the administration to try a new and comprehensive approach. It’s in a good position to do so in the wake of the financial crisis, since 90 percent of mortgages issued nowadays are guaranteed

by Uncle Sam, mostly via Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, both now government wards. This gives Washington unprecedented power over residential lending.

First, the government needs to help millions of underwater homeowners refinance. The main thing keeping them from doing so on their own is a lack of home equity, but this is silly; refinancing actually reduces lender risk by making a loan more affordable. …

Second, it’s time to overcome our national phobia about reducing the mortgage principal of underwater homeowners. Done judiciously, this can stave off a tsunami of foreclosures, rescue millions from the indebtedness that is crushing consumer spending, and get housing back on the road to recovery. It will also help save neighborhoods from the blight of empty, untended homes.

A comprehensive homeowner rescue program will require incentives for lenders and, probably, changes in law. And it will cost billions. But allowing these hurdles to stand in the way will only condemn our economy to the doldrums — and too many families to foreclosure — for years to come.

Bennington (Vt.) Banner on a looming quagmire: It seems the United States is approaching an urgent crossroads — not unlike the Revolutionary War era or the Civil War years, or the period of the Great Depression. By now, most Americans have the clear sense that something big has to give before the country can move on and recover.

This is reflected in the inability of the federal government to move past the stark divisions that have surfaced in recent years and intensified greatly over the past decade. Both sides have managed at times to cling to enough power to thwart the other side but never acquire enough to move their own agenda forward.

Today, the tea party on the right and the Occupy Wall Street protesters on the left are expressing overwhelming frustration with our unresponsive, status-quo federal government and the never-ending crises associated with a sinking economy for most citizens and endless debt that threatens our long-term prosperity and national security.

Congress and the president, however, can’t come close to agreeing on any approach that might actually have a nationwide effect. If the Civil War scenario plays out again, we are headed for a constitutional crisis — perhaps a violent one — before someone wins and someone loses, and the major issues of the day are decided for the foreseeable future. Some days, that looks more like the inevitable conclusion, which no one seems able or willing to deflect.

As a nation, we have always fared better keeping stubborn philosophies out of the political equation. Voters might consider whether a candidate fits that immovable mold before casting their next ballot. Rejecting philosophy over pragmatism — religiously, if you will — is something an individual can do, all on his or her own. It might just work.

Column was was off-base To the Editor: Amanda Stewart wrote a column for Saturday's issue in which she basically condemned and insulted all of us Americans who eat meat as being unfeeling, uncaring animal abusers. I think her story was supposed to be about the stupidity of allowing people to keep wild animals in Ohio without any good controls or regulations, NOT about the choice of eating or not eating meat. These are two different subjects for discussion and should not be twisted together in order to promote a superior attitude of political correctness.

I have no desire to see any creature deliberately abused, but I am not a bad person because I eat a hamburger and I am not being cruel to an animal because I do so. She said we should “mourn the loss” of cows, pigs and chickens who are eaten by human beings. She acknowledged that wild animals are “brutally violent” hunter-killers and are natural meat eaters. Does she mourn the loss of the animals eaten by the ones who were destroyed?

Maybe Amanda thinks that all of the people who work for McDonald’s and Wendy’s are heartless and cruel. We live in a free country where people are not forced to eat meat any more than they are forced to have an abortion, but there are obviously proponents and opponents concerning virtually any issue. Amanda, keep your issues properly separated.

Vote NO on Issue 2 To the Editor: What does “union” mean to you? If you are vulnerable to intense Republican supported corporate propaganda you will now think of unions as something negative. You’ve been brainwashed.

The truth is that unions are truly the most “American” organization that ever developed — a purely grass roots movement from an intense dire need. Americans died in the streets at the beginning of the 20th century fighting for the right to collectively bargain — for better working conditions and fair pay.

At the beginning of the industrial revolution, America

in a time where it seems there’s never enough money — In our homes, government, state and schools. We hear a lot about schools making cuts and Miami East is no different.

In an effort to save money Miami East has already made significant strides — cutting bussing to high school students, combining elementary and JR high bus routes, cutting AP programs and unfortunately valuable staff. Further, our teachers have already agreed to forego pay increases for the next four years.

This levy IS a replacement tax for our schools. This levy is an Earned Income Tax and it replaces the 1 percent tax we currently have with a 1.75 percent tax. What it DOES is offsets the decrease in funding the school is faced with because of the State cuts, the reduction in income taxes due to unemployment and the businesses that have moved out of the area.

What it MEANS is that without this levy our kids will lose athletics, art, music and more. Completely cutting these vital programs cannot be an option.

Naturally, the kids will suffer. They will lose out on opportunities for accomplishments, teamwork, and friendships that are only created in these circles.

With athletics alone they will miss the feeling of winning, losing and the incredible life lessons athletics teach us long into our adult life. It will come down to the ability for a family to pay for activites. It may mean choosing which child gets to participate in what activity with three active daughters that wouldn’t be a choice I would ever want to make.

And beyond the activities I worry about the kids who need the grades and required classes such as art and music to get into college. This would put our students at a huge disadvantage.

Beyond the kids, it’s the community that will suffer. If we can’t offer these programs families will leave our district and find opportunities else— Patty and Bill Vogt where.

Piqua If we think we can’t afford to pass this levy, can we really Please vote YES afford not to? Our kids, community and property values for Miami East depend on it. Please educate yourself on how it will impact To the Editor: you! Your vote counts! Please I’ve never written a letter to the editor until today. I feel Vote YES on Nov. 8!! it’s important to share the sig— Katy Jacomet nificance of the Miami East Troy levy this Nov. 8. We are living

was just like a “third world country.” The flaw in our system was unencumbered robber-baron greed — the drive for unlimited profits — profits at all costs. And the cost was at the expense of the workers.

Without rules or regulations, even children were worked for 12 hours a day. “Slave” wages prevailed. You could be fired on a whim. You had no breaks or vacations. You had no right to complain and could make no demands of any kind. And the work place was highly dangerous.

The history of unionization is as American as apple pie. It is what a free people can do with their free speech and right to assemble. Unions are the most honorable part of our American civilization. Unions created our middle class. It was the finishing touch to “our land of opportunity.” Freedom without justice can be a stagnant liberty – the freedom to flounder — and any opportunity was often by hook or crook.

Unions brought justice and security to the workplace to permit a standard of living that allowed the poor to advance with the dignity of fair play. The children of the poor could finally afford higher education – and that “lands” opportunity. Unions truly advanced our American civilization.

It is pure propaganda that unions have “too much power.”

Bargaining is always a twosided fair negotiation. Union workers have given up much from the threat of offshore out-sourcing. Our civil servants and teachers simply fight for a living wage (as we all should).

The fight to eliminate unions is surely a “corporate world” sponsored movement and there’s no patriotism there.

And, remember, wise employers value the stability that mutual agreements bring.

Unions work for everyone.

Must we fight for basic rights again? I don’t think so.

Remember from whence we came and why. Solidarity is America! On pure principle, Vote No on Issue 2!

Competition actually bad for streaming subscribers Some people say Netflix is getting too big for its britches.

I’d argue that Netflix, Hulu and others need to start combining their britches into one gigantic set.

Because let’s face it — competition is really, really bad for subscribers.

Online streaming video sources like Netflix and Hulu are quickly becoming a cheaper substitute for struggling or simply frugal families looking to save some money on their entertainment thanks to already-ridiculous and still-rising costs for cable television.

But despite their perks, they don’t offer everything cable TV does — and if someone wants the entertainment value that these services could potentially provide, they have to subscribe to hundreds of different things.

OK, that’s an exaggeration.

Still, since streaming video became wildly popular, everyone wants a piece of the pie.

And that pie is our hardearned cash.

This is the problem with competition with these services in a nutshell: Netflix has

Josh Brown Troy Daily News Columnist licenses for certain shows, Hulu has them for other shows, cable TV has all of the shows at their original airtimes and premium channels like HBO and Showtime have one or two terrific shows each for extremely exorbitant prices in comparison.

But now Netflix and Hulu are throwing their hats into the production business, too.

Netflix will produce its own original show called “House of Cards” — and it’s no cheap substitute for traditional TV, either. It’s the real deal, with Kevin Spacey starring and David Fincher directing. It outbid HBO and AMC for the rights to make it.

And with both Hulu and Netflix currently bidding for the right to air new “Arrested Development” episodes as a lead-in to an upcoming movie based on the series, it’s almost as if the streaming video sites are attempting to earn network status, as well.

(I wrote last week about how Netflix needs to scrap its DVDby-mail idea and put its whole library up for streaming, so I won’t even go into that again.)

As for HBO and Showtime, I grew up on programming like HBO’s “Fraggle Rock,” so I had a soft spot in my heart for them for the longest time. But once I got older and started paying for my own cable — and realized just how much you pay for how little you watch — it just wasn’t worth it anymore.

It doesn’t help that earlier this year HBO said that Netflix would have to charge its streaming customers more than twice as much as it already does if it ever wanted to carry its programming.

To put it mildly, most people can’t afford $14-$20 extra a month, especially when all

they’re interested in is “Game of Thrones,” “True Blood” or “Dexter.” So they either go to a friend’s place to watch, wait for the DVDs to come out and pay the people that actually work on the shows directly or turn to piracy. Either way, that’s another subscriber the premiums are losing.

The solution sure isn’t an easy one or possible at all, but it’s the only one — combine everything.

Instead of forcing already cash-strapped people to subscribe to a billion different things, put everything in one place — and make it available streaming over the Internet.

Instead of competing for subscribers, the services could all pool them together. And with the influx of new subscribers, costs to them could be controlled (at least if HBO’s people don’t get to set the price point) because there’d be that much more money to go around.

It’ll never happen. But it’s a nice pipe dream.

Author: Stats show more peaceful world WASHINGTON (AP) — It seems as if violence is everywhere, but it’s really on the run.

Yes, thousands of people have died in bloody unrest from Africa to Pakistan, while terrorists plot bombings and kidnappings. Wars drag on in Iraq and Afghanistan. In peaceful Norway, a man massacred 69 youths in July. In Mexico, headless bodies turn up, victims of drug cartels. This month eight people died in a shooting in a California hair salon.

Yet, historically, we’ve never had it this peaceful.

That’s the thesis of three new books, including one by prominent Harvard psychologist Steven Pinker.

Statistics reveal dramatic reductions in war deaths, family violence, racism, rape, murder and all sorts of mayhem.

In his book, Pinker writes: “The decline of violence may be the most significant and least appreciat-

ed development in the history of our species.”

And it runs counter to what the mass media is reporting and essentially what we feel in our guts.

Pinker and other experts say the reality is not painted in bloody anecdotes, but demonstrated in the black and white of spreadsheets and historical documents.

They tell a story of a world moving away from violence.

In his new book, “The Better Angels of Our Nature: Why Violence Has Declined,” Pinker makes the case that a smarter, more educated world is becoming more peaceful in several significant statistically ways. His findings are based on peer-reviewed studies published by other academics using examinations of graveyards, surveys and historical records.

The number of people killed in battle calculated per 100,000 population has dropped by 1,000-fold over the centuries.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama says the death of Libya’s Moammar Gadhafi and the end of the Iraq war are powerful reminders of America’s renewed leadership in the world.

At the same time, Obama said Saturday that the U.S. now must tackle its “greatest challenge as a nation” rebuilding a weak economy and creating jobs with the “same urgency and unity that our troops brought to their fight.”

Obama informed the nation on Friday that the long and costly war in Iraq will be over by the end of the year and that some 40,000 U.S. servicemen and women still there “will definitely be home for the holidays.”

A day earlier, he hailed

the killing of Libya’s longtime leader as a “momentous day” in the history of a country that Gadhafi had ruled for decades through tyranny.

Obama said in his weekly radio and Internet address that these foreign policy successes were part of a larger story.

“This week, we had two powerful reminders of how we’ve renewed American leadership in the world,” Obama said. “After a decade of war, we’re turning the page and moving forward, with strength and confidence.”

He said withdrawing troops from Iraq has allowed the U.S. to focus on Afghanistan and score major victories against alQaida, including the killing in May of terrorist mastermind Osama bin

With Gadhafi’s death, an era passes CAIRO (AP) — He often looked like a comical buffoon, standing before audiences, bedecked in colorful robes, spouting words that most of the world considered nonsense.

Yet the death of Moammar Gadhafi was a milestone in modern Arab history, in some ways more significant than the overthrow of lesser autocrats in Tunisia and Egypt.

Gadhafi was the last of the old-style Arab strongmen the charismatic, nationalist revolutionaries who rose to power in the 1950s and 1960s, promising to liberate the masses from the shackles of European colonialism and the stultifying rule of the Arab elite that the foreigners left behind after World War II. He was swept aside by a new brand of revolutionary the leaderless crowds organized by social media, fed up with the oppressive past, keenly aware that the rest of the world has left them behind and convinced that they can build a better society even if at the moment, they aren’t sure how.

Gadhafi was the last of a generation of Arab leaders such as Gamal AbdelNasser of Egypt, Hafez Assad of Syria and Saddam Hussein of Iraq who emerged from poverty, rising to the pinnacle of power either through the ranks of the military or the disciplined, conspiratorial world of underground political organizations.

None of the latter crop of Arab autocrats, including Assad’s son Bashar, Yemen’s Ali Abdullah Saleh and even Egypt’s colorless, ousted president Hosni Mubarak,

Their model was Nasser, the towering champion of Arab unity who ousted Western-backed King Farouk in 1952 and inspired Arab peoples with fiery speeches broadcast by Egyptian radio from Iraq to Mauritania.

But Nasser’s dreams of Arab unity and social revival crumbled in defeat in the 1967 Arab-Israeli War, when Israel seized East Jerusalem, the West Bank, the Golan Heights from Syria and the Gaza Strip and Sinai Peninsula from Egypt. Nasser died three years later, and the fellow strongmen left behind led their countries instead into a political swamp of corruption, cronyism and dictatorship now challenged by the Arab Spring.

The hallmark of the Arab strongman was unquestioned power, the use of state media to promote a larger than life image and a ruthless security network

that stifled even a whiff of dissent. That worked in an age before the Internet and global satellite television which opened the eyes of the strongman’s followers to a world without secret police and economic systems run by the leader’s family and cronies.

The Arab political transformation is far from complete. Autocratic rulers are facing challenges from their own people in Yemen and Syria. Bahrain’s Shiite majority is pressing the Sunni monarchy for reform.

Rulers in Jordan, Saudi Arabia and the Gulf states are maneuvering to contain the Arab Spring.

Iraq is struggling to build a democracy eight years after American-led arms brought down Saddam’s rule.

With Gadhafi’s passing, however, a milestone has been passed. The future belongs to a different style of ruler, whoever it may be.

It may be difficult to imagine that the Gadhafi of his final years with his flamboyant robes, dark and curly wigs and sagging, surgically altered face was a trim, handsome, vigorous 27-year-old when he came to power as a strong and vigorous leader. Over the years he had become a caricature figure associated with grandiose dreams such as a “United States of Africa” or seizing all of Israel and

sending Jews “back to Europe.”

Even when he was younger, eccentricity was the mark of Gadhafi’s public persona.

A generation ago, President Ronald Reagan described him as the “mad dog of the Middle East,” and his fellow Arab leaders such as Egyptian President Anwar Sadat considered him a dangerous megalomaniac.

Journalists covered his speeches and international visits primarily for amusement.

Images of Gadhafi’s final moments toupee gone, terrified, confused, powerless in the grip of men who may be about to kill him make the ousted tyrant appear more pitiable than powerful.

All that was far from his image when he and his comrades toppled a Westernbacked monarchy in 1969 in a bloodless coup, promising to transform his poor, backwater country into a modern state.

Promising a new era for his people, Gadhafi closed a U.S. air base, forced international oil companies to hand over most of their profits from Libyan oil to the Libyan state and shook the world with his unabashed support for terrorist or insurgent movements in Northern Ireland, Palestine, Latin America, Africa and Asia.

Oil gave him a reach beyond his sparsely populated desert land and enabled him to pursue his revolutionary dreams.

In the 1980s, the lobbies of Tripoli’s few hotels were populated by representatives of what the West considered the most dangerous groups on Earth — stiff North Koreans wearing lapel buttons of their leader Kim Il-Sung, Palestinian extremists huddled over cups of sweet tea, European anarchists and revolutionaries all come to town to seek the oil-fueled largesse of the “Brother Leader.”

While Obama on Saturday called anew for passage of his $447 billion jobs bill, Burr urged action on a Republican alternative.

Senate Republicans recently blocked Obama’s overall bill, leaving Democrats in charge of the chamber to try to pass it piece by piece. But Republican senators also blocked action on the first component of the larger bill, a $35 billion measure to boost hiring of teachers and emergency services workers.

In turn, Democrats stalled a measure both parties support that would stop the government from withholding 3 percent of payments to government contractors.

Obama said ending both wars will allow the U.S. to focus on rebuilding a weak economy so it can start creating enough jobs to reduce high levels of unemployment. That could possibly aid his re-election bid, which is being jeopardized by the tough financial circumstances.

“Over the past decade, we spent a trillion dollars on war, borrowed heavily from overseas and invested too little in the greatest source of our national strength our own people,” the president said. “Now, the nation we need to build is our own.”

Nursing program granted 8-year accreditation For the Miami Valley Sunday News Edison Community College’s Nursing Program, in its 31st year, has earned the highest level of accreditation a program can receive from the National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission.

“We’ve been awarded an accreditation for the next eight years, the highest we can attain,” said Gwen Stevenson, dean of public health and service for Edison. “This is the fourth time that the college’s nursing program has been granted this, the first coming in 1987. We then received it in 1995 and again in 2003.

We’ve held that accreditation ever since.”

The NLNAC accreditation certificate will be valid

COEUR d’ALENE, Idaho — On Oct. 15, Darryl Cloud was honored at the National Precast Concrete Association’s 46th annual convention, where Cloud was bestowed the Robert E. Yaokum Award, the association’s highest award.

At age 17, Cloud enlisted in the Marines to serve his country in Vietnam. At age 51, after watching his children complete marathons, he took up running and completed his own marathon by age 55.

He is an active donor and volunteer for many charitable causes, and he’s also spent 21 years working for the same company.

Service has been a central theme throughout Cloud’s life, whether it’s service to his country, those in need, his employer or the industry as a whole.

Since coming to Concrete Sealants, an Ohio-based company that manufactures sealants, primers, wraps and coatings for precast concrete products, Cloud has left an indelible mark on his colleagues and his customers, according to company officials.

As a dedicated NPCA member, he also has applied his ethic of service to the association. He served on the board of director’s from 2003-2006 and is a member of the Onsite Wastewater Product Committee.

Cloud accepted the award to a standing ovation, and in a brief speech said, “I’ve considered everyone in this room an extension of my family. This is a

have met the standards set forth for excellence in nursing education,” Stevenson said. “Going through this process gives Edison an opportunity to examine our program and measure ourselves against the standards.”

Those standards and the outstanding reputation of Edison’s nursing faculty and curriculum are what continue to drive students to the program, and why the program has continued its long history of success.

Edison’s nursing program received accolades at the end of 2010, with the announcement that 100 percent of the spring graduates had passed the National Licensing Council Examination. In January 2010, 59 new students started the program.

tical programs). The commission has authority and accountability for carrying out the responsibilities inherent in the application of standards and criteria, accreditation processes, and the affairs, management, policy-making and general administration of the NLNAC. The organization is nationally recognized as a specialized accrediting agency for both post-secondary and higher degree programs.

At a time when nursing programs around the country are coming under fire for failing to maintain standards that are required to hold accreditation, Edison’s program has shown a consistent remarkably record of quality.

student recruitment. It is also a benefit to employers in medical fields who are seeking graduates who have the skills necessary to become competent practitioners.

The entire nursing faculty at Edison was involved in the process of working with the NLNAC prior to the February 2011 site visit. The process began in January 2010 with the development of subcommittees tasked with putting together a selfstudy. In early 2011, the selfstudy was submitted to the NLNAC prior to its site visit.

According to its website, the NLNAC is responsible for the specialized accreditation of nursing education programs (clinical doctorate, master’s, baccalaureate, associate, diploma, and prac-

For the Miami Valley Sunday News Mike Evans, a Tipp City resident and Bethel High School graduate, and Lori Robison, a Laura resident and Franklin-Monroe High School graduate, were inducted into the alumni Hall of Fame at Miami Valley Career Technology Center on Sept. 29.

Evans attended the electrical trades program at MVCTC with instructors Robert Ewry and John Leiter.

Prior to his graduation in 2000, Evans was selected into the electrical apprenticeship-training program at the Dayton Electrical Joint Apprenticeship and Training Committee. A noteworthy student and with perfect attendance, Evans graduated from the apprenticeship program as a journeyman wireman in May 2005. The opportunities provided to Evans through the Apprenticeship Program allowed him to get a head start on his career. It was not long before Evans became a foreman and then general foreman while working for Wagner Industrial Electric and ESI Electrical Contractors, where he managed small to major electrical projects.

In March 2008, Evans took the job as membership development coordinator for IBEW Local Union 82. He is responsible for the recruitment of electrical workers of all levels into the unionized electrical industry. Mike continuously monitors all work done to ensure compliance with federal law, and oversees the construction wireman/construction electrician (CW/CE) program, which is a pathway for all levels of electrical workers to become journeymen electricians. Evans also is a committee member and trustee for the Dayton Electrical JATC, where he oversees the electrical and telecommunication apprenticeship training programs.

Evans has remained active at MVCTC by participating in roundtable discussions, open houses as an advisory board member, and most

Robison attended the agencies secretary program at MVCTC with instructors Katrina Robinson and ancy Roach. Prior to her graduation from MVCTC in 1984, she began an advanced placement position at NCR Corporation in Dayton as a word processor. She was hired for a permanent position upon graduation and remained with the company until 2009 when NCR left the Dayton area.

During her tenure at NCR, Robison advanced to secretary to the assistant vice president of the Federal Systems Group and was executive secretary to the vice president of Computer/Industrial/ Medical/Education/Government from 1993-2001. Her most recent role was assistant to the corporate controller.

Robison was faced with the challenge of finding employment after 25 years in a stable career. After only one month of being unemployed, she was hired as the executive assistant to Steve Cobb, chairman and CEO of Henny Penny Corp. in Eaton.

She has been with Henny Penny in her current position for 1 1/2 years and has continued her pattern of advancing within the company. She is chair of the contributions

committee for the company.

She also has been head 4-H adviser for 13 years; Darke County 4-H Committee member for 12 years; Cub Scout leader for four years; soccer coach for 12 years; soccer board member for 11 years; PTO member for four years; and has been on numerous school fund raising committees.

She married a 1984 Montgomery County JVS graduate and their second of four sons graduated from MVCTC in 2010.

The 10 new Hall of Fame members received a special crystal award presented to them by MVCTC Superintendent John Boggess and director of instructional development Harold Niehaus at a dinner meeting attended by more than 400 MVCTC business partners.

Their portraits and names will be displayed in the school where they will join the other 58 names engraved on a perpetual Hall of Fame Hallway in the West Building.

Hall of Fame members are inducted every five years from nominations that come from educators, family members, business and employers.

Dan Edwards, WDTN-TV Channel 2News reporter; Ohio Rep. Michael Henne, and Darke County Judge Julie Monnin judged the Hall of Fame nominations this year.

“The success of these individuals is a result of dedication and hard work. Their success stands as a testimony to them, their instructors, their families, and our school. We are very proud of them, of the prestige they bring to career/ technical education, and grateful for the support they have continued to offer MVCTC,” Dr. John Boggess, MVCTC superintendent, stated. “They serve as examples of the value of career technical education and inspiring role models for our students.”

MVCTC has been providing education for jobs in the Miami Valley for 40 years.

TODAY IN HISTORY Today is Sunday, Oct. 23, the 296th day of 2011. There are 69 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight: On Oct. 23, 1983, 241 U.S. service members, most of them Marines, were killed in a suicide truck-bombing at Beirut International Airport in Lebanon; a near-simultaneous attack on French forces killed 58 paratroopers.

On this date: In 1910, Blanche S. Scott became the first woman to

make a public solo airplane flight, reaching an altitude of 12 feet at a park in Fort Wayne, Ind. In 1915, tens of thousands of women marched in New York City, demanding the right to vote.

In 1973, President Richard Nixon agreed to turn over White House tape recordings subpoenaed by the Watergate special prosecutor to Judge John J. Sirica.

In 1980, the resignation of

Soviet Premier Alexei N. Kosygin was announced.

In 1987, the U.S. Senate rejected, 58-42, the Supreme Court nomination of Robert H. Bork.

In 1991, Cambodia’s warring factions and representatives of 18 other nations signed a peace treaty in Paris.

In 1995, a jury in Houston convicted Yolanda Saldivar of murdering Tejano singing star Selena. (Saldivar is serving a life prison sentence.)

Vikings power past Bulldogs

BY JOSH BROWN Sports Editor jbrown@tdnpublishing.com After serving the first eight points, the thought entered Abby Cash’s mind of her shutout game in the first round of the sectional tournament.

But not many teams have been able to withstand the Vikings’ relentless barrage this

In doing so, May also topped the 1,000-yard passing mark for the second consecutive season — he now has 1,120 passing yards this year — joining Tommy Myers as only the second quarterback in school history to do so.

Myers accomplished that in 1959 and 1960. See Page 10.

Career performance Troy QB May joins elite company

BY DAVID FONG Executive Editor fong@tdnpublishing.com Some final notes from the Troy football team’s 380 win over Miamisburg Friday: • MOST VALUABLE PLAYER: Senior quarterback Cody May had a career night for the Trojans, completing 13 of 20 passes for three touchdowns and a career-high 224 yards. In doing so, May also topped the 1,000-yard passing mark for the second consecutive season — he now has 1,120 passing yards this year — joining Tommy Myers as only the second quarterback in school history to do so. Myers accomplished that in 1959 and 1960.

TROY “Obviously that’s a nice honor for Cody,” Troy coach Steve Nolan said. “He’s done a great job for us the past two seasons. But he’s also had great offensive lines blocking for him, great receivers to throw to and running backs who have forced teams to load up in the box to stop the run — which opens things up for the passing game.”

• PLAY OF THE GAME: With Miamisburg down just 16-0 at halftime and still hanging around, the Trojans wasted little time putting the game out of reach in the third quarter. After taking the secondhalf kickoff and marching to midfield, May hooked up with Ian Dunaway on a 49yard touchdown pass that put Troy up 23-0 and essentially iced the game. From that point, it was just a matter of running out the clock for the Trojans.

Like May, Dunaway — May’s favorite receiver on the field and close companion off the field — had a career night. He caught eight passes for a careerhigh 173 yards and three touchdowns. In addition to the 49-yard touchdown catch, he also had a 19- and 44-yard touchdown catch.

• UNSUNG HERO OF THE GAME: On a night when the offense grabbed most of the headlines, Troy’s defense also had a stellar night, allowing just 59 yards in total offense, seven first downs — two of which came on Trojan penalties — and forcing two turnovers.

Senior inside linebacker Chris Blair led the way, finishing his night with five tackles, a pass broken up

Troy’s Chris Blair celebrates with Zach Butcher after returning a fumble for a touchdown during Troy’s 38-0 shutout of Miamisburg at Troy Memorial Stadium Friday. and a fumble recovery that he scooped up and rumbled 18 yards with for a touchdown.

“Our defense was outstanding,” Nolan said. “We pretty much took away everything they wanted to do.”

• WHAT WE LEARNED: More than you would think in a 38-0 blowout victory.

For starters, we learned the Troy football team could keep its focus against a team that entered with a 26 record. While the Trojans got off to a little bit of a slow start, Troy never appeared to be in any great danger of losing the game. Once the Trojans got rolling, the Vikings never really had much of a chance.

Also, this may be the most well-balanced team in Nolan’s three decades at Troy. With Miamisburg focusing on stopping the run, Troy had little trouble passing the ball. For the game, Troy finished with 264 rushing yards and 224 passing yards. That balance should be a key factor should the Trojans reach the Division I playoffs.

• WHAT HAPPENS NOW: Troy will be an overwhelming favorite to defeat winless Sidney — the Yellowjackets have been outscored by an average of 48.7 to 11.1 this season — in the final regular season game of the year. Should Troy stay healthy and focused, it’s hard to imagine a scenario under which the Trojans lose — although

stranger things have happened.

If Troy does defeat Sidney, it will have to play the waiting game. In terms of a Greater Western Ohio Conference North Division title, Troy has to beat Sidney and hope VandaliaButler can somehow figure out a way to upset stateranked Trotwood-Madison to earn a share of the title with the Rams. Butler (6-3) beating Trotwood (9-0) would have to be considered a monumental upset, however.

With a chance at a league championship remote, Troy — should it beat Sidney — will turn its attention to the playoffs. A win over the Yellowjackets should assure the Trojans a spot in the playoffs for the second year in a row — something that hasn’t happened since 1996-97.

The only question remaining — if Troy wins — is where that playoff game will be played.

Depending on what happens elsewhere in Region 3 — there are a number of key match-ups in Columbus to be played in Week 10 — Troy will be right on the edge of hosting an opening round playoff game or being forced to travel to Columbus.

Most playoff experts have Troy — provided it beats Sidney — ending up at either No. 4 or No. 5 in the Region 3, Division I computer points standings at the end of the season.

The top four teams in each

region host playoff games in the opening round, while the bottom four travel for the first round.

Troy was led by fantastic freshman Troy Schultz, who placed fifth with a time of 16:57. Jon Osman finished eighth (17:10.37), Cody Fox was 10th (17:21.93), Josh Enke ended in 12th (17:23.43) and Branden Nosker 15th (17:25.72) — for an average time of 17:15.86.

“I sat our guys down and told them to compete in southwest Ohio, collectively we need to run an average time of about 16:40. In muddy conditions, on a course that was slow, we ran an average time of 17:15 — that’s pretty good. When you get to regional, you have schools like Mason and all the other Cincinnati schools. Its going to be tough, but I think running a race like we did lets the guys know they can compete.”

Blake Guillozet (25th, and Jared 17:59.37) Besecker (64th, 19:03.18) were the other notable Troy finishers.

“This will definitely help us going into next week confidence-wise,” Campbell said. “This is the best race we’ve ran all year. Today we ran as a team — and it was by far the best race we’ve had all season.

Dustin Fickert and Isaac Canan stepped up to help the Buccs get over the hump and back into the regional meet once again. Fickert placed 21st (18:10.50), while Canan finished 45th (19:12.74).

“We had an outstanding day,” Covington coach Josh Long said. “These boys are very driven and want to succeed.

“The boys are aware that anything can happen at the regional, and they are excited to have earned that opportunity again.”

West Liberty-Salem ran away with first place in the team standings as expected, scoring a total of 53 points, while Jackson Center placed third (100 points).

The course was a bit slower than it can be when it’s dry. But at this point in the season, we are just going for place.

We had a nice, tight pack of girls. Heading into next week, I think we can get a couple teams.”

Tippecanoe, which entered the race as the third-seeded team, had an average time of 21:57.22.

Qualifying for regional as an individual was Milton-Union’s Michaela Litton, who placed eighth with a time of 20:47.26.

The Bulldogs missed qualifying as a team, scoring a total of 204 points for an eighth-place result. The second-best Milton finisher was Cassie Schieltz in 42nd (24:13.03).

“Jessie (Shilt) keeps improving week by week,” Covington coach Libby Long said. “She ran a very smart race right from the beginning. Tara (Snipes) and Heidi (Cron) also ran very well. They were able to pass some girls who were ahead of them in the last several weeks. Having Casey in the top 25 was really important for our overall team score.

day in 42nd (23:45.54).

Dulcinea Lesley was Newton’s top finisher, as she finished 41st overall in a time of 23:42.71.

• Division III Race B Miami East turned in a solid effort, with five runners in the top 42.

But when you’re competing in a race with the likes of Versailles, Russia and Botkins — it’s hard keep pace.

The Vikings and Yellow Springs both scored 156 points, but East lost the tie-breaker without having a sixth runner. East placed eighth overall.

Meredith Wesco was a few spots short of making it as an individual, finishing 22nd (21:38.63).

But with all underclassman on their roster, the Vikings are bound to make a splash next season.

Versailles won the race (38 points), Russia was second (64) and Botkins third (76). Tammy Berger of Versailles was individual champion, blazing in at 19:02.56.

“It helps a lot,” Abby Cash said. “We like to start off with a good lead. It gets us more excited and helps us talk more.”

“Abby’s been on fire,” John Cash said. “Eight, nine, seven to start us off today. She was unbelievably aggressive and was hitting every zone we gave her with a lot of pace.

That’s why she was the (Cross County Conference) Player of the Year this year.

“We knew they had a couple or good hitters that are dangerous if they get on a roll. So we didn’t want to give them a chance. We wanted to suffocate them right away, and that’s what the girls did.”

For the Bulldogs (18-6), it was a bittersweet end to a stellar season.

“We just ran into a buzzsaw today,” Milton-Union coach Bill Ginn said. “They just cover so much of the floor, it’s hard to get a ball down. They serve hard, they hit hard — there’s a reason they’re No. 1 in the state.”

Milton-Union was able to get a couple of hits to fall in the first game thanks to Kinsey Douglas and Michelle Richardson, But each time they did, the Vikings answered right back. It wasn’t until the second game when the Bulldogs scored consecutive points for the first time after an East service error — one of three straight — and an ace by Haley Martens, and Milton-Union got as close as it did all day at 12-5.

But as hard as the Bulldogs fought, making diving save after diving save and getting it over to keep points going, the Vikings just kept hammering away.

“We practice in the offseason to win the long points,” Abby Cash said.

■ CONTINUED FROM B1 today,” Murray said. “If I would’ve switched days and played this well yesterday and that bad today, it would have been worse because I would’ve ended the season like that. But this was a really positive note for me to end on.

“I can’t be unhappy — well, I can with my overall finish after yesterday’s round — but I played much better today.”

Murray took four shots off of her front nine, going from a 43 Friday to a 39 Saturday, then fired off a 35 on the back — five strokes better than the previous day.

good use Saturday, blowing past No. 10 Triad 8-0 and into Monday’s Division III Sectional final.

Elizabeth Edwards and Abby Ciriegio each had two goals and an assist, Lauren Goettemoeller had two goals, Madeline Franklin and Carley Harrod each had a goal, Kaitlyn Catanzarite had two assists and Colleen Kinninger and Laura Cisco each had an assist.

Lehman will have a rematch against Miami East — a team the Cavs edged out 1-0 a week ago — Monday for the sectional title in a game to be played at Bethel.

“After about hole No. 7, I played pretty good for the rest of the round,” Murray said. “I did struggle with the front nine both days, though. I don’t know what it was. I guess I just didn’t have a feel for the greens.

“Still, I was much happier with today.”

Murray tied Sycamore’s Hanna Lee and Avon Lake’s Niki Schroeder — a sophomore and freshman, respectively — for 10th.

Geneva freshman Danielle Nicholson was the medalist with a 143.

Dublin Jerome won the team tournament with 627.

Miami East’s Leah Dunivan takes a swing in front of the Vikings’ fans Saturday during the Division IV Brookville Sectional title game.

“We train to not get tired, to push through everything, to stay focused.”

“That’s been our thing all year long — we want long points,” John Cash said. “Teams keep digging them up, but that forces them to deliver the ball back to us not all that hard, and we get another chance.”

And with the hits coming from every possible angle, there was just no chance to defend.

Abby Cash finished with eight kills, 15 assists and five digs, Kelsey Vanchure had eight kills, Sam Cash had six kills, two aces, a block, 14 assists and three digs, Angie Mack had five kills, three aces and five digs, Leah Dunivan had five kills, a block and a dig, Ashley Current had two kills, Allison Morrett had a kill, an ace and 14 digs, Trina Current and Paige Mullen had a kill apiece and Allie Millhouse had 10 digs.

Blue Jackets still winless, Senators win 2nd straight OTTAWA (AP) — The Ottawa Senators and Columbus Blue Jackets are headed in opposite directions.

Milan Michalek scored with 4.7 seconds left Saturday and the Senators downed Columbus 4-3, winning consecutive games for the first time this season.

“That was a great game,” said Sergei Gonchar, who had an assist on the winning goal. “It seems like we’re playing better and better and finally we’re starting to pick up some

wins.”

Filip Kuba, Zack Smith and Jason Spezza also scored for the Senators (3-50). Craig Anderson faced 21 shots.

The Blue Jackets (0-7-1) are the league’s only winless team. The have a league-low one standings point on the season.

“I feel for these guys,” Blue Jackets coach Scott Arniel said. “These guys busted their tail after playing (Friday) night. We came in here and worked our tails off. I’m so disappointed for

these guys.”

Aaron Johnson, Kris Russell and Rick Nash scored for Columbus. Steve Mason stopped 23 shots.

The Blue Jackets scored more than two goals for the first time this season.

“We played well for 59 minutes and then they got to us at the end,” said Nash, who was playing in his 600th game.

“It’s tough. It seems like we’re not getting any bounces. It seems like we’re finding ways to lose games instead of finding ways to

win games. That’s the difference between good teams and bad teams right now.”

The Senators opened the scoring with a power-play goal as Spezza found Kuba all alone, and the defenseman beat Mason through his legs.

The Blue Jackets tied the game midway through the period as Johnson dived on a rebound left in the crease.

The Senators came out flat to start the second as they got caught on the wrong end of a 4-on-2 break, and Russell beat Anderson

just 16 seconds into the period.

After missing on a couple of early opportunities, Smith scored his first of the season with a quick snap shot off a feed from Erik Condra from behind the net.

The Blue Jackets took the lead with a power-play goal by Nash, who beat Anderson from just inside the blue line.

Holding a 3-2 lead with less than one minute remaining Nash said the team felt pretty good about its chances for the win.

“It seemed too good to be true for our season right now,” Nash said. “We’re in tough times. We’ve got to stay up, we’ve got to stay positive and leaders have to lead and keep making the young guys follow, but (Saturday) I’m speechless for what happened.”

Ottawa’s Daniel Alfredsson had a great chance to tie it up late in the period, but was stopped by Mason and dragged down

by Kris Russell. Spezza tied the game on the ensuing power play.

Historical photos at Winans tell the story of the 50-year-old MIami County company.

Decades of sweet success Winans celebrates 50 years in business For the Miami Valley Sunday News

hocolate, coffee and community has been the focus of Winans Fine Chocolates and Coffees since it opened its doors in Miami County in October 1961 — 50 years ago this month.

C

Winans’ traces its history to October 1961. In an effort to expand their successful Bellefontaine bakery business, two brothers, Max and Dick Winans, who were thirdgeneration bakers, added hand-dipped chocolates, brittles and copper kettle caramels to their bakery confections and opened “Winans Carriage House Candies” in Piqua.

Since then, the confections business — which originally started in Michigan in the late 1800s — has been handed down to what is now the fourth generation of family ownership.

The name has been changed to “Winans Fine Chocolates and Coffees,” to reflect a broader product line, but that is about all that has changed, according to Laurie Winans Reiser, co-owner of the business with her husband Joe. “We would be foolish to change any of the traditional recipes that have made Winans successful since Dad and Uncle Dick first started making chocolates in Miami County 50 years ago,” Laurie Winans Reiser said. She and Joe own and operate Winans stores in Piqua, Troy and Columbus (German Village), and also support two franchise locations in Dayton.

Winans Fine Chocolates and Coffees is one of the oldest familyowned and operated chocolate confectioneries in the country. Candies were a part of the family bakery business long before the 1961 opening of the carriage house, Laurie Winans Reiser said.

“I found an entry in my great-grandmother’s diary that talks about them making candy for my great-grandfather’s bakery in 1929 and that is over 80 years ago,” she said.

Rita Stevens, Winans chief candy maker, said there is a secret to what makes Winans a thriving business still today.

“Our chocolates are made in small batches, with no preservatives, and they are never frozen like you would find in big-

MIAMI COUNTY ger companies. Our chocolates are still rolling off the line just days or weeks before they are consumed and coffee is roasted locally daily,” Stevens said. “Our products are not made in advance or stored for long periods of time … fresh daily is our key to success.”

Winans also is dedicated to old family recipes, from butter/orange/maple creams, toffees, Bavarian mints and wurtles, to hand-wrapped caramels and old-fashioned brittles.

Winans uses one of the oldest Hobart mixers in the world and still uses original copper kettles to make their confections.

A few of the updates Winans has incorporated in the last five decades is its award-winning coffee, voted best in Dayton the past four years.

Joe Reiser, who is an avid coffee lover, has educated himself on coffees around the world. He sources and roasts the highest quality beans and said, for coffee as with the

other Winans products, freshness is key.

“We roast in the morning and the beans are in the stores that afternoon.

Our coffees have added a whole new and fun side to our business,” Joe Reiser said.

Another addition over the years are two websites, www.winans candies.com, featuring Winans traditional chocolates and coffees, and www.tailgatertreats.com, for Buckeye lovers.

Winans has the ability to ship its products all over the world. The company now handles large corporate orders during the holidays, but will still pack a box while you wait so patrons can choose only their favorite pieces.

Customer favorites?

“Definitely anything made with our caramel is very popular,” said Clara Hutton, a Winans chocolate maker for 42 years.

A special chocolate piece was created and named for Hutton several years ago, called the Miss Clara. It is a toffee piece

that has almost overtaken the caramels and wurtles as a customer favorite, according to the owners.

The Reisers — parents of two college-age children

— thank their daily and holiday customers for their growth and success.

“To our faithful customers, we at Winans thank you for keeping our

family tradition alive, and for those of you who have not yet tried Winans, maybe it is time to start a new tradition,” Laurie Winans Reiser said.

IT HAPPENED YEARS AGO

BY PATRICK D. KENNEDY For the Troy Daily News 25 Years Ago: Oct. 23-Nov. 5, 1986 • TIPP CITY — How do you grow a business? Sometimes all it takes is a little know-how, a few willing customers and some hard work. Bernice Boone had all of that and her angel food cake business has really taken off. She and her helpers now make 200-300 cakes of varying flavors every week.

Occasionally, such as holidays, the business has even produced 500 cakes in a week. Mrs. Boone’s husband Bob began taking some of the cakes on his egg delivery route, but now they regulary place them at Fulton’s Farm Market, the Country Nut Hut, and Mumma’s. In addition, many people just order the “heavenly” cakes and come out to pick them up. Mrs. Boone also makes homemade noodles for her customers. She says everything is a family enterprise with her husband and their three children assisting in the business. In addition to the cakes, noodles and the eggs, the family farms and raises 7,500 chickens a year. “The key to it all is togetherness.”

• TROY — The Troy Park Board has heard the voices of the Archer Park area residents and are moving ahead to modify the park’s plan. The new plan will place a parking lot and road along the south side of the park, parallel to the railroad tracks.

Also, a parking lot will be placed between the ball field and the soccer field, which is now being developed. The board heard numerous stories of people parking along the residential streets and then cutting through yards to access the park and the board agreed that it was not acceptable. The board is planning to plant more trees between the residential area and the park as a natural separation. Recreational Director Charles Sharett is also planning to involve the residents of Trinity Park area in discussions as they develop a parking plan for a new soccer field in that particular

local races. Just as surprising as President Roosevelt’s historic victory was the fact that the Democrat party of Miami County was able to place so many of its candidates into office. The only Republicans able to stem the tide were State Rep. William McCulloch, County Commissioner William Longendelpher, Clerk of Courts Brooks Johnson, County Coroner Cecil T. Marshall, and County Treasurer John R. Marshall. The record voter turnout and the favored vote for President Roosevelt certainly were helpful to many of the Democrat candidates.

• BRADFORD — Sheriff Miller has been unable to collect any clues to a robbery at “Turk” Hudson’s poolroom and restaurant in this village. The crime happened sometime after Hudson closed his establishment at midnight. Entrance was gained by the thieves breaking open a back door.

Approximately $200 in goods were stolen, including 5,000 cigarettes, 25 boxes of cigars, some pipes, a radio and a vending machine.

HIGHLIGHT IN HISTORY 100 Years Ago: Oct. 23-Nov. 5, 1911 • MIAMI COUNTY — A horrific accident at the county fairgrounds claimed the life of a Springfield man Wednesday (Nov.1). G.H. Forrer, 30, was involved in a five-mile motorcycle race at the fairgrounds, speeds of which were reaching terrific heights, when suddenly Mr. Forrer did not negotiate one of the back turns and crashed with a tremendous force into the surrounding fence. He was rushed to the Coleman Hospital on Water Street where Doctors Shilling and Francis operated without success. Mr. Forrer had sustained a severe injury at the base of the skull. Sadly, he leaves a widow and two children.

park. The parks of the city should be an asset and a welcome addition to any neighborhood, not a nuisance.

50 Years Ago: Oct. 23-Nov. 5, 1961 • SOVIET UNION — The world took a dangerous shift today (Oct. 31) when at 3:33:3 a.m. (EST), despite worldwide protests, the Soviet Union set off a thermonuclear bomb. It was the biggest man-made explosion in history and may have exceeded the 50-megaton threshhold of which Premier Khrushchev boasted. The bomb was detonated in the atmosphere above the Artic testing ground on Novaya Zemlya Island. Although more denunciations are sure to come, England was the first nation to officially condemn the action by the Soviets.

• WEST MILTON — A hammer, a chisel, gloves and a little time were all the robbers needed to gain access and then get away with approximately $1,000 in cash from the Falknor Elevator in West Milton somtime this weekend. Police Chief Miller and Deputy Sheriff Barringer have yet to find any clues which will assist them in apprehending the thief or thieves. Barringer brought a fingerprint kit from the sheriff’s office, but stated the perpetrator must’ve used gloves because he could not locate any useful prints. The safe was opened by using a hammer and a punch, first, by breaking the combination dial off the safe, then punching out the tumbler mechanism in order to easily

open the door. The cash, which was stored in a wooden compartment in the safe, was used to cash checks for farmers. The night patrolman said he had come by the elevator several times during the night, but did not see any activity.

• TROY — A great time of fellowship and happiness was enjoyed by many members of the Zion Baptist Church when they, along with their pastor P. Ivory Perkins, traveled to Hamilton for a joint service in that city on Sunday, Oct. 29. The Zion Baptist Church of Troy and the Israel Baptist Church of Hamilton had planned some time ago to join together in worship, praise and fellowship.

Pastor Perkins provided the preaching and the junior and senior choirs provided a concert.

A good meal following the service concluded the day’s agenda.

100 Years Ago: Oct. 23-Nov. 5, 1911 • ANNA — A Sunday fire at the F.E. Crabs Flour Mill in Anna, north of Sidney, has caused thousands of dollars in damage. Although the people of the area are desirous that it be rebuilt, Mr. Crabs is not positive in his outlook. The mill was partially covered by insurance, but it would cost several thousand dollars for the owner to rebuild the operation.

75 Years Ago: Oct. 23-Nov. 5, 1936 • WASHINGTON, D.C. — In a stunning surprise, the American voters returned President Roosevelt to office for another four years. The victory was not surprising, as many straw polls predicted he might win, but rather, many of the polls showed a close race to the end. The landslide victory garnered electoral support from 46 states for the president. Gov. Landon conceded to the president just after midnight.

• MIAMI COUNTY— Mirroring the national election, many Democrat candidates were either kept in office or swept into office in many of the

120 Years Ago: Oct. 23-Nov. 5, 1891 • PIQUA — Nearly 500 friends and curious neighbors gathered in grand style at the opening of the Hotel Plaza in Piqua on Thursday (Oct. 22). It was a brilliant and beautiful affair with everyone dressed in their finest attire to honor the builders of the fine new structure. It is a great addition to the city and will entertain much pleasure and joy with the gala

events which are sure to take place within its walls.

(Columnist’s note: This is the same plaza building which was renovated in Piqua and was reopened as the new Piqua Library on Oct.19, 2008.)

• TROY — Nick Braun knows how to handle himself in the heat of the argument. The other day a man entered Nick’s meat shop and ordered a steak. After receiving the meat and his change he stayed for awhile to discuss the politics of the tariff.

After a few moments, obviously forgetting he had already received his change, the man requested he be given his due money. Not being able to convince Nick of his perspective he resorted to force, but soon found himself outside in the gutter. The gentleman has not returned for any further conversation.

146 Years Ago: Oct. 23-Nov. 5, 1865 • TROY — The ladies of the First Baptist Church are holding their supper in the new Dye’s Hall on the south side of the Public Square. The supper will be of benefit to the church and all their friends are encouraged to support it. The new structure is promised to completed in time for the supper. (Columnist’s note: The Dye’s Hall is what is now known as the Dye Building at the southeast corner of the Public Square and Market Stret.

It now houses The Caroline Restaurant and several offices, but has been home to many businesses over the years including a bank, several restaurants, a bookstore and, of course, most longtime residents would recall the G.C. Murphy store.).

• USA — The President has declared that December 7th will be recognized as a national thanksgiving. Among the many blessings for which this nation should give thanks are freedom and civil liberty.

Dog doesn’t like Halloween costumes? Accessorize LOS ANGELES (AP) Pet owners love dressing up their dogs for Halloween.

Only problem is, dogs don’t always love wearing costumes. But there are some tricks you can use for those pets that don’t think it’s a treat to wear hats, boots, masks and coats for their owners’ amusement.

If a dog is used to wearing clothes, costumes may not be a problem, said veterinarian Terry Marie Curtis, a clinical behaviorist for the Department of Small Animal Clinical Services at the University of Florida College of Veterinary Medicine.

Dogs accustomed to wearing snug items designed to calm anxiety like Thundershirts, Anxiety Wraps or Storm Defender Capes should be able to adjust to other types of clothing, she said.

But every pet is different. “Many dogs hate things on their feet,” she said.

“This is true because it can alter how they perceive

where they’re walking.”

Some dogs are used to booties, though, either because they live where the ground gets very hot or cold, or they are carried most of the time. “The smaller pocket pups are more likely to have ‘dress up’ in their experience because that’s what mom has done since puppyhood,” Curtis said.

For fussy dogs (and cats), try a starter costume consisting mostly of accessories, advised Reyna Jew, who buys dog and cat apparel, shampoo, travel products and carriers for PetSmart.

Try angel, fairy or bat wings, a pirate or witch hat.

If that’s still too much, there are bows that clip in the pet’s hair, necklaces and decorative collars or bandannas made of Halloweenthemed fabric.

Target offers 29 costume styles for dogs, including five rider styles (a stuffed character rides on the back of the pet) designed for larger dogs and 10 partial cos-

tumes for the pet that won’t tolerate a full costume, said Kristy Welker of Target Communications in Minneapolis.

Options include items that attach to collars, like flowers and even Saint Bernard-style rescue barrels, said Welker. These won’t upset animals who don’t like wearing clothes, but they’ll look like costumes to human eyes.

Target also carries three styles of T-shirts and three styles of pajamas, including prisoners and skeletons.

Costumes that cover a pet’s head or include eyeglasses or masks may be a challenge. You’ll have to see what your dog will tolerate, but don’t be surprised if a mask or hat is repeatedly shaken or pawed off.

The most popular costume at PetSmart is the bumblebee, followed by the pumpkin and dragon, Jew said. Bat wings, hot dogs and a sheriff are Target’s best-sellers. Pajamas are popular because they are

PetSmart is among those sponsoring a costume contest, and you don’t have to buy the outfit at the store to enter, Jew said.

comfortable, Welker said. At BuyCostumes.com, a raptor, bee and a dog-riding cowboy top the list.

No one sells full costumes just for cats but dog accessories will work.

PetSmart also has 12 collars and scarves designed for and modeled by cats online.

Some pet owners want to dress like their pets or want to dress their children and pets alike. It’s easy to mix and match many pet costumes with adult costumes from other stores, Jew said.

For example, there are Superman and Batman dog costumes. An owner can easily get a Lois Lane or Robin costume, she said.

Target offers hot dog and banana costumes for both adults and pets, Welker said.

Pet costumes are made to go on easy, Jew said, and usually fasten with Velcro.

The best-selling size costume is medium, which usually fits a 30- to 40pound dog. “The toy breeds are second up,” Jew said.

One trend that’s driving demand for pet costumes is the surging number of dress-up events for pets being staged by neighborhoods, cities, shelters, rescues, magazines, websites, pet stores, charitable organizations and other groups, including photo contests, pet parades and businesses inviting pets in costume to drop by, Jew

UVMC prepared to meet mental health needs Behavioral health professionals staff emergency department 24-7 For the Miami Valley Sunday News Behavioral health professionals stationed 24-7 in the Upper Valley Medical Center Emergency Department are working to ensure those with mental health needs are handled appropriately and efficiently.

The transition of behavioral health assessments at UVMC from the former Crisis Center on campus to

TROY the Emergency Department began this summer and has gone smoothly, said Mindy Schultz, LISWS, manager of Behavioral Health Emergency and Admissions.

The change was sparked by the Tri-County Board of Recovery and Mental Health Services’ decision to redirect dollars previously used to contract with UVMC for Crisis Center and 24-Hour Hotline services. Those services now are handled by the Miami County Recovery Council using a 24-hour Crisis Hotline and a mobile crisis team to respond to mental health calls from local law enforcement facilities, jails and Emergency Departments.

Mindy Schultz, rear, LISW-S, manager of Behavioral Health Emergency and Admissions, and Louisa Wray, LPC, admissions clinician, discuss options for patient with behavioral health needs, in the Upper Valley Medical Center Emergency Department.

UVMC continues to provide behavioral heath inpatient services and admissions by a team of behavioral health therapists and technicians. The team members who now are based in the ED serve as a “gatekeeper” for those who come to the ED in

need of behavioral health related services.

The Behavioral Health Emergency and Admissions team also screens patients on the inpatient units and works to admit anyone needing inpatient behavioral health services to the Behavioral Health

Center. The Tri-County mobile team can be called to support the Behavioral Team in the ED, if needed.

“It makes sense that we would be in the emergency room,” Schultz said of the behavioral health team.

The community was fortunate to have a separate

location to serve behavioral health crisis for years, but changes in providing emergency health care for the community are forming more of an integrated system to serve those patients, she said.

The ED staff is no stranger to behavioral

health patients who they treated for any medical issues when patients came to the ED by squad or private vehicle and then were transported to the inpatient behavioral health unit, if needed.

As part of the transition, two “safe rooms” equipped according to state requirements were added in the ED for those who arrive with an initial complaint of a behavioral health nature.

“We have a team approach from the nursing staff and the physicians where we all communicate effectively for the best care for the patient,” Schultz said.

“This way the patient is getting good, quality care by having all services efficiently in the same setting.”

The behavioral health team members also will support ED staff needs, if there are no patients with mental health issues to be addressed. Team members can assist by supporting family members if a traumatic situation is occurring or help with supporting patients and family members to enhance the patient experience, especially during busy times.

For more information on the program, contact Schultz at (937) 440-7631.

Some spices shown to have disease-fighting effect

BY LEE BOWMAN Scripps Howard News Service We’re not suggesting you swap the spice rack for the medicine chest just yet, but researchers have been finding new medicinal possibilities in some common food enhancers.

The trend is hardly surprising. A recent report by scientists at the National University of Singapore found that worldwide, 8 of the 20 top selling drugs are derived from molecules made by bacteria, fungi, snails and plants, and another six of the top 20 are mimics of natural products.

The drugs treat everything from pain and inflammation to asthma, diabetes and hypertension. The

report also pointed out that not every line of plant or microbe is a candidate to make a viable drug.

Writing in the July Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, researchers led by Chen Yu Zong showed that drug-producing species are an elite group. Of 886 naturederived drugs discovered between 1961 and 2010, 783 were from known drug-producing families, and 41 were from neighbors of known productive families.

Cancer is the target of many of the natural disease fighters.

A September report in the journal Hepatology cited rat studies that suggest saffron has a significant effect against liver cancer, both inhibiting pro-

liferation of cancer cells and stimulating the death of liver tumor cells.

Ohio State University researchers discovered in mice studies that indirubin, a compound derived from the Indigo plant, can act to block the migration of brain tumor cells to different parts of the brain. Their work, published online in July in Cancer Research, is important because glioblastomas are so hard for doctors to track and kill.

While doctors have pretty good weapons for slowing growth of the tumors in the brain, they’ve been stymied because the tumors spread so easily. The compound, which has long been used against leukemia in a Chinese herbal remedy called Dang Gui Long Hui

Report: Food labels need Energy Star-like ratings WASHINGTON (AP) — Just as that Energy Star tag helps you choose your appliances, a new report says a rating symbol on the front of every soup can, cereal box and yogurt container could help hurried shoppers go home with the healthiest foods.

Thursday’s report urges the Food and Drug Administration to adopt new food labeling to clear the confusing clutter off today’s packages and give consumers a fast way to compare choices.

It wouldn’t replace the indepth Nutrition Facts panel that’s now on the back or side of food packages. But few shoppers stop (OOTC:SHPSF) to read or heed that fine print in the middle of the grocery aisle.

The Institute of Medicine says it’s time to put right upfront the most important information for health: how many calories per serving and just how big that serving is along with stars or some other symbol to show

at a glance how the food rates for certain fats, sodium and added sugars.

“American shoppers are busy shoppers,” said Ellen Wartella, a psychology professor at Northwestern University who chaired the IOM committee that studied the issue at the request of federal health officials.

“We want a really simple system that says if you have three marks, that product is healthier than one with two marks.”

How to get Americans to eat more wisely is a huge problem as obesity and dietrelated diseases are skyrocketing. The FDA already was working to change the foodlabeling system to make it more user-friendly, and has promised to crack down on inaccurate labeling that has confused consumers.

But ranking a food’s healthfulness, rather than just providing consumers information to try to judge that for themselves, would mark a major shift in government food policy. The

agency didn’t say if it was interested in that kind of ratings approach, or how soon it would make labeling changes but called Thursday’s report a thoughtful analysis that would help it decide next steps.

“FDA agrees consumers can benefit from a front-ofpack labeling system that conveys nutrition information in a manner that is simple and consistent with the Nutrition Facts panel,” said spokeswoman Siobhan DeLancey.

The Institute of Medicine recommendation would face an uphill battle with food manufacturers who are pushing their own version of on-the-front food labels but don’t like the idea of ranking one food as healthier than a competitor’s.

“We believe the most effective programs are those that trust consumers and not ones that tell consumers what they should and should not eat,” said Scott Faber, a lobbyist for the Grocery Manufacturers Association.

Wan, both prevents spread of the cells and blocks the growth of blood vessels that supply tumors.

Another September report by scientists at UCLA found that curcumin, the main component of the anti-inflammatory spice turmeric, suppresses a cellsignaling pathway that drives the growth of head and neck cancer. Tests involved human volunteers eating curcumin tablets and showed that the compound reduced levels of inflammation-causing substances in their saliva.

Curcumin also starred in a non-human study done by scientists at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center that was released at a conference in February. They found that a compound derived from the

spice speeded repair of cells damaged by stroke through several different pathways.

Turmeric, along with cinnamon and other spices that contain a lot of antioxidants, have been shown to help alleviate the impact of a high-fat diet.

Researchers at Penn State reported in the August issue of The Journal of Nutrition that adding two tablespoons of culinary spices to a high fat meal reduced blood levels of fat (triglycerides) in overweight men who ate them by 30 percent, compared to when they ate the same meal with no spices added.

The mix included rosemary, oregano, cinnamon, turmeric, black pepper, cloves, garlic powder and paprika. The scientists also

found that with the spicy meal, antioxidant activity in the blood increased by an average of 13 percent, and insulin response fell by about 20 percent.

Another recent study of cinnamon extracts, led by scientists at the U.S. Department of Agriculture, found that among a small study group of obese patients with blood glucose levels considered pre-diabetic, those who took 250 milligrams of a dried extract twice a day had sharply reduced markers of the illness after 12 weeks.

Taking the extract improved antioxidant function and other factors by 13 to 23 percent compared to a control group that received a placebo rather than the active supplement.

Tallgrass prairie Park preserves dwindling ecosystem STRONG CITY, Kan. (AP) — It’s easy to envision the world that pioneers encountered while looking at a herd of bison grazing at Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve in east-central Kansas.

Little has changed over the decades on the landscape of the only national park dedicated to protecting this dwindling ecosystem, which once covered 40 percent of the United States. Today, less than 4 percent remains of the original tallgrass prairie. Most of what’s left is in the Flint Hills of eastern Kansas and the Osage Hills of northeastern Oklahoma.

Patches of the prairie are burned in the spring, and the early growth offers vibrant shows of wildflowers. By September and October, visitors can walk among grasses that reach chest high in damp years. But after a blistering summer with little rain, this year’s show of foliage is kneehigh in all but the wettest areas.

The ground was too rocky to plow in this stretch of the Flint Hills, so named for a type of quartz that litters the ground.

And so this nearly 11,000-acre patch was saved, a landscape created through a combination of limited rainfall, grazing and fires that routinely sweep across the land. Only a few trees survive these conditions, and they grow mainly along the springs that dot the area.

Early explorers called the landscape the “Great American Desert.” But later settlers realized the land was fertile and tilled the fields. And so it mostly disappeared.

Homogenous fields of corn, wheat, soybeans and a type of grain sorghum called Milo replaced the prairie that once teemed with hundreds of species of plants like switchgrass and blue sage.

“So what was seen as a hazard for settlers 150 years ago is a benefit for us now,” said Eric Patterson, the lead park ranger.

On the mostly unplowed prairie that became the park nearly 15 years ago, early settlers made use of the land much the same way as American Indians before them.

But instead of hunting the millions of buffalo that once grazed upon the prairie, the settlers made use of the land to fatten cattle.

One early rancher grew so wealthy he used the area’s limestone to build a grand four-level ranch home and barn on the land in the 1880s. A new visitor’s center is under construction, but for now, most of the 23,000 visitors who come to the preserve each year start their tour in the ranch house, watching a short movie in the home’s former dining room.

Period furniture fills the rooms of the partially restored home.

From there, visitors can wander among the ranch buildings, hike more than 40 miles of trail or fish in some of the preserve’s ponds.

Bus tours — the only way to drive through the park — are usually offered once or twice a day and last about 90 minutes.

Patterson hands out binoculars so visitors can get a closer look at a herd of 16 bison during one stop on the bumpy trip.

All but the babies were captured two years ago at Wind

Cave National Park in South Dakota and relocated here.

At another stop on a high point that challenges Kansas’ flat-as-a-pancake reputation, visitors can glimpse views of rolling hills that stretch out 15 to 20 miles in any direction.

Lizards and skinks scamper among the rocks. Butterflies flit among the flowers, and crickets chirp.

“It’s kind of a cerebral,” Patterson muses. “It’s one of those environments that challenges you to reach out for it.

It’s almost like it wants you to be a part of its discovery. You have to look close or it’s not going to really tell you much.”

After the hazy skies of summer are replaced with clear, fall skies, visitors can catch stunning views of the stars, far away from the city lights.

While the ranch house and barn close in the evening, the trails are open 24 hours a day.

No camping is allowed in the park, but there is camping available nearby or visitors can choose fancier digs such as the Grand Central Hotel in nearby Cottownwood Falls.

“It’s very serene,” Amber Smyers, 26, a Kansas native who lives in Seattle, said after the bus tour ended.

Her friend, Jessica Cutting, 27, also of Seattle, had visited numerous national parks from little-known ones in Alaska to the popular destination of Yellowstone and the Grand Canyon.

“It was pretty,” she said. “I think there is beauty in everything.”

But this isn’t the typical national park experience, the rangers readily acknowledge.

There are no stunning mountain views, canyons or waterfalls to behold. Much of the magic is underground, where the plant’s roots reach 15 to 25 feet into the soil.

As awareness grew that the land was unique, Congress voted in November 1996 to create the Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve. There was resistance to the move from residents who feared federal intrusion and that the land

Landowners put up signs reading, “Private Land in Private Hands” and “Say No to National Parks.”

Former U.S. Sen. Nancy Landon Kassebaum came up with the idea of a public-private partnership. The National Park Service owns just 34 acres of the land; the bulk is owned by the Nature Conservancy, an environmental group, that handles grazing leases and taxpaying.

“It’s really an experiment in how you can operate a national park and have the bulk of the property be in nonprofit, private ownership,” Patterson

said. “So far so good.”

Other efforts have cropped up to save and tell the story of the tallgrass prairie and the flint-filled hills. About 55 miles to the north in Manhattan, the college town for Kansas State University, a $24.5 million center that will chronicle the geology, biology and cultural history of the Flint Hills is on track to open to visitors in April. In northern Oklahoma, visitors can see the 40,000-acre Tallgrass Prairie Preserve, a Nature Conservancy project and the largest preserved tract of native tallgrass prairie.

It all makes the words of D.W. Wilder, the one-time edi-

tor of the Hiawatha World in Kansas, seem at least a little prophetic. He wrote nostalgically in 1884 of the already dwindling prairie in an editorial the National Park Service now uses in its brochures.

“Whenever you stop on the prairie to lunch or camp, and gaze around, there is a picture such as poet and painter never succeeded in transferring to book or canvas.” He lamented that people should have saved a park “ten thousand acres broad the prairie as came from the hand of God, not a foot or an inch desecrated by ‘improvements’ and ‘cultivation.’ It is only a memory now.”

‘Margin Call’ depicts collapse with intensity

BY CHRISTY LEMIRE AP Movie Reviewer Several movies in the past year or so have tried to get their arms around the unwieldy topic of the 2008 economic collapse.

It’s a subject that’s incredibly complicated and, even more challenging for filmmakers, not one that’s inherently cinematic.

The documentary “Inside Job” did an excellent job of spelling out what happened in a clear, concise way without ever condescending to its audience, and it earned an Academy Award in the process. Several feature films, including the hitand-miss “The Company Men” and the operatic “Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps,” have tried to put a human face on the subject with mixed results.

Now we have “Margin Call,” which recreates the earliest moments of the crisis with the tight time frame and claustrophobic setting of a play a David Mamet play, to be specific.

First-time writer-director J.C. Chandor depicts this devastating moment of volatility with a patter that’s reminiscent of Mamet: profane and masculine, with rhythmic repetition of certain key phrases that we, unfortunately, can’t repeat here ourselves. It’s a fitting approach given the swagger of the characters in this cruel and competitive world, as well as the pressure they feel once they realize how much trouble they, and the rest of the world, are in.

Chandor’s father worked for Merrill Lynch for nearly 40 years, so this is a realm and a personality type he knows well. He also knows well enough to stand back and let the excellent cast of actors he’s amassed do what they do

AP PHOTO/ROADSIDE ATTRACTIONS, JOJO WHILDEN

In this image released by Roadside Attractions, Zachary Quinto, left, and Penn Badgley are shown in a scene from “Margin Call." best. He depicts these dramatic developments without any melodrama, but rather offers a steady drumbeat as one person after another comes to the chilling realization that we’re all screwed.

“Margin Call” takes place over a 24-hour period, beginning with some slash-and-burn layoffs at a major financial firm.

Among the casualties is risk analyst Eric Dale (Stanley Tucci), who passes along to one of his underlings, Peter Sullivan (Zachary Quinto, who’s also a producer), some figures he was studying on his way out the door. His warning: “Be careful.”

Peter who literally is a rocket scientist with a doctorate from MIT digs a little deeper later that night while the firm’s bad boys are out partying. His realization that Eric was onto something, that the firm is in way over its head and is about to find out its assets are essentially worthless, spreads across his face with a quiet horror. It’s a reaction that we’ll see again and again

as this discovery gets kicked up the chain of command.

Next up is Peter’s new boss, the charismatic Will Emerson (Paul Bettany), and then his boss, the 34year veteran Sam Rogers (Kevin Spacey). Then come the people who run the risk management department (Demi Moore and Aasif Mandvi) whose warnings of trouble a month earlier went unheeded and then the firm’s young, soulless head honcho (Simon Baker), until finally the creepily calm CEO (Jeremy Irons) drops down from the sky in his helicopter in the middle of the night.

“Margin Call” unfolds in a series of quietly intense and increasingly distressing meetings between the various figures Quinto and Spacey, Spacey and Irons, Irons and Moore, Moore and Tucci, and so on. There are no histrionics, just the intermittent hum of Nathan Larson’s score to keep us on edge, and the lights of the Manhattan skyline glittering through-

out this all-nighter to remind us of the wealth and power that drove these people in the first place.

Perhaps it’s all a bit too actorly, a bit too stagey in its structure. But strong performances abound, which is evident given Chandor’s intimate approach, and that makes “Margin Call” consistently compelling. Bettany and Baker tear it up in big, showy roles, and Tucci is withering in just a glance as the film’s disillusioned voice of reason. But Spacey does some of the best work we’ve seen from him in a while as a onceconfident man who’s now questioning everything upon which he built his cushy life. A subplot involving his beloved dog may seem like a maudlin metaphor for his fate and the nation’s but it sure is apt.

“Margin Call,” a Lionsgate and Roadside Attractions release, is rated R for language. Running time: 107 minutes. Three stars out of four.

Cashing in on the film industry Group hopes to lift filmmaking in Pittsburgh PITTSBURGH (AP) — When Hollywood heavyweights Tom Cruise, Anne Hathaway and Russell Crowe tout the virtues of working in Pittsburgh, it’s safe to say the city has arrived as legitimate site for film production.

But as residents grow accustomed to movies featuring Taylor Lautner outrunning explosions on the Roberto Clemente Bridge, the Pittsburgh Film Office is working to help the city land a role that goes beyond scenery through the talents of its entertainment technology sector.

Spun out of the Pittsburgh Entertainment Technology Project, a partnership that was introduced in January, the new group plans to tap a database of more than 100 local businesses and a network of Pittsburgh expatriates plugged into the film industry in Los Angeles to highlight innovative ways area firms can assist productions that many film studios have yet to explore.

The goal is to increase the economic impact of film production in the region by

20 percent in the next year.

Some resources the region has to offer Hollywood are obvious.

Want to send Taylor Lautner running from another fireball? Plenty of businesses in the database have got special effects and animation covered.

But suppose a studio wanted to promote the scene directly to Lautner’s target tween girl audience?

That’s where firms such as Allison Park-based iTwixie, a social networking site devoted to teen girls, can make an impact.

Rebecca Gaynier, iTwixie founder and CEO, said companies can benefit from data provided through the Tween Trends service, which links directly with young users for unfiltered opinions.

“Any movie producer or entertainment groups seeking powerful engagement with an audience, that’s something we can help to facilitate,” she said.

Michael Matesic, CEO of Oakland-based technology accelerator The Idea Foundry, said finding ways to market films directly to those most likely to buy

tickets is quickly becoming a priority for Hollywood studios.

“Gaming, mobile media and social media all are ways to allow major motion picture content to be distributed in new and creative ways and to generate more revenue from an alternative revenue source,” he said.

The group’s efforts already have attracted the attention of a few studios and industry power players, including Jimmy Miller, an entertainment manager and partner in Mosaic Media Group, the fourth-largest talent agency in Los Angeles.

Matesic said Miller, who oversees the careers of Jim Carey and Will Ferrell to name a few, is particularly interested in using mobile media and other distribution platforms to raise the profile of up-and-coming talent.

Patrick Mittereder, CEO and founder of East Liberty-based Electric Owl Studios, said technology his company uses to create video games for children’s hospital waiting rooms could easily be tweaked to

Fishburne narrates film on black Southern workers LOS ANGELES (AP) — Laurence Fishburne is the narrator for an upcoming PBS documentary on black workers in the post-slavery South.

The film, titled “Slavery

by Another Name,” is based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning book by Douglas A. Blackmon.

PBS on Thursday announced Fishburne’s role as narrator of the documentary that will debut Feb. 13, 2012, on public TV stations nationwide.

“Slavery by Another Name” examines the labor practices and laws “that effectively created new forms of slavery” after

emancipation, subjecting blacks to brutal forced work, according to the filmmakers.

The 90-minute film, produced by a division of the PBS affiliate for Minneapolis-St. Paul, will air as part of PBS’ Black History Month programming.

create video games starring characters that movie studios hope to promote for upcoming films.

“We can create games for them and put them on our kiosks to get movies out there before the movie even comes out,” he said.

“The film industry contributes so much to the cultural and financial vitality of the southwestern Pennsylvania region, benefiting multiple sectors of our economy,” said Pittsburgh Film Office director Dawn Keezer. “By partnering with these other great organizations dedicated to growing industry, we hope to extend similar economic growth opportunities to innovative entertainment technology companies in the region.”

Joining the Pittsburgh Film Office in the new effort are the Pennsylvania Film Industry Association, Carnegie Mellon University’s Entertainment Technology Center, The Idea Foundry, Teamsters Local 249 and the regional chapter of the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees.

Biography sheds new light on Steve Jobs’ life

BY RACHEL METZ AP Book Reviewer SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Steve Jobs had a disdain for people who put profits first. In an upcoming authorized biography of the late Apple CEO, he calls the crop of executives brought in to run Apple after his ouster in 1985 “corrupt people” with “corrupt values” who cared only about making money.

Jobs was often bullied in school and stopped going to church at age 13, according to “Steve Jobs,”

by Walter Isaacson, which will be published Monday

by Simon & Schuster. The Associated Press purchased a copy Thursday.

Advanced sales of the biography have topped bestseller lists since Jobs died Oct. 5 after a long battle with cancer at age 56.

According to the book, Jobs never went back to church after he saw a photo of starving children on the cover of Life Magazine. Later, he spent years studying Zen Buddhism.

As a teenager, he exhibited some odd behaviors he began to try various diets, eating just fruits and vegetables for a time, and perfected staring at others without blinking.

Later, on the naming of Apple, Jobs told Isaacson he was “on one of my fruitarian diets.”

He’d just come back from an apple farm, and he thought the name sounded “fun, spirited and not intimidating.”

Jobs reveals in the book that he didn’t want to go to college, and the only school he applied to was costly private college Reed in Portland, Ore. Once accepted, his parents tried to talk him out of attending Reed, but he told them he wouldn’t go to college at all if they didn’t let him go there. Though he ended up attending, Jobs dropped out of the school after less than a year and never went back.

His pre-Apple job as a technician at Atari paid $5 per hour. He saw a classified ad in the San Jose Mercury News, went to visit the company and informed them he wouldn’t leave unless they hired him.

Jobs’ eye for simple, clean design was evident from early on. The case of the Apple II computer had originally included a Plexiglas cover, metal straps and a roll-top door.

Jobs, though, wanted

something elegant that would make Apple stand out. He told Isaacson he was struck by Cuisinart food processors while browsing at a department store and decided he wanted a case made of molded plastic.

He called Jonathan Ive, Apple’s design chief, his “spiritual partner” at Apple. He told Isaacson Ive had “more operation power” at Apple than anyone besides Jobs himself that there’s no one at the company who can tell Ive what to do. That, says Jobs, is “the way I set it up.”

Jobs was never a typical CEO. Apple’s first president, Mike Scott, was hired mainly to manage Jobs, then 22. One of his first projects: getting Jobs to bathe more often. It didn’t really work.

Jobs’ dabbling in LSD and other aspects of 1960s counterculture has been well documented. In the book, Jobs says LSD “reinforced my sense of what was important creating great things instead of making money, putting things back into the stream of history and of human consciousness as much as I could.”

In the early 1990s, after Jobs was ousted from Apple, he watched the company’s gradual decline from afar. He was angered by the new crop of people brought in to run Apple, and he called them “corrupt.”

He told Issacson they cared only about making money “for themselves mainly, and also for Apple rather than making great products.”

He also revealed that the Beatles is one of his favorite bands, and one of his wishes was to get the band on iTunes before he died. He got them available for sale on iTunes in late 2010. Until then, the biggest-selling, most influential group in rock history has been glaringly absent from iTunes and other legal online music services.

The book was originally called “iSteve” and scheduled to come out in March 2012. The release date was moved up to November, then, after Jobs’ death, to this coming Monday.

Isaacson interviewed Jobs more than 40 times, including just a few weeks before his death.

The book says Jobs put no subject off limits and had no control over its contents.

MORTGAGE WATCH

Rates on 30-year loans fall to 4.11 percent WASHINGTON (AP) — The average rate on the 30-year fixed mortgage was nearly unchanged this week after rising sharply last week.

Freddie Mac said Thursday that the rate on the 30-year loan edged down to 4.11 percent from 4.12 percent last week. The week before, it fell to 3.94 percent. That’s the lowest rate ever, according to the National Bureau of Economic Research.

The average rate on the 15-year fixed mortgage ticked up to 3.38 percent from 3.37 percent. It hit a record-low of 3.26 percent two weeks ago.

Low rates have done little to revive the lagging housing market.

The National Association of Realtors said Thursday that home sales fell 3 percent last month to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 4.91 million homes. That’s below the 6 million that economists say is consistent with a healthy housing market.

Sales of new homes are on pace to finish the year as the lowest on records dating back a halfcentury. Prices have been sliding because the market is flooded with houses being sold in foreclosure.

Guest Bedroom Studio Use baskets, trunks, boxes and drawers for storing quilting supplies.

Slipcover an office chair for a favorite quilting seat.

Transform a 6-foot dresser into a sewing structure by

placing both a cutting surface and a pressing mat on the dresser top. Store fabric and materials in the drawers, and store the cutting mat and pressing board under the dresser when not in use.

Make a mock closet from two tall bookshelves framed out with bi-fold doors on either side. Use a drop-down

table for a sewing surface.

The shelves can hold fabric, books, a sewing machine and supplies.

with holiday artwork, holiday cocktail napkins with a humorous message, or whimsical hand towels.

Instead of trying to make your drinks table as well stocked as the corner bar, why not come up with a signature drink? It will give guests a chance to try something new and streamline your shopping list and prep time.

I’m a huge fan of sparkling wine. If I were on the Forbes list of the world’s richest people, I would serve the best Champagne at all my events. But I’m not, so I’ve found a fabulous alternative: Prosecco. The popularity of this Italian sparkling white wine has skyrocketed in the past decade, because it offers the fun of Champagne without the high price tag. To make your Prosecco even more festive, drop a fresh cranberry in each glass. It will turn the drink light pink.

No matter how lovely your drink table is, it can’t do its job if it’s not properly stocked. Make a list of everything you’ll need for your featured drink or for your bartender to mix up guests’ orders. Are there plenty of fresh cups or glasses?

Spoons or stirrers?

Mixers and ice? It’s no fun to drink on an empty stomach, so consider putting out some munchies. If it’s a bar, I might include a bowl of nuts, a threetiered server loaded with fresh fruit or even a platter of delicious cheeses and artisan breads. If you’re setting up a hot drinks bar for coffee or cocoa, use a silver vase to hold candy canes, or a dessert server filled with chocolates or fancy cookies.

an amended report correcting its mistake.

The permit search also indicated that there were fees owed against the property.

The buyer was concerned because she planned to do work after closing and didn’t want to be stuck paying fees that she hadn’t incurred, especially having no idea how much was owed.

It turned out that the fees would not be charged to the new owner. One was for an application made by a past owner that had expired. The city had not performed any services. The other was from 1997, which was deemed to be too old to collect.

THE CLOSING: While you’re checking the permits, be sure to ask if any fees are owed. You may need to check directly with the cashier.

The most important home contractors: electrician, plumber plumbers to be licensed.

I would also strongly recommend that electrical work be performed by a residential electrician. However, not all jurisdictions require licensing of electricians. When in doubt, contact your local building official or county health department. Always get

more than one bid, and get three references from the contractor you select. There should be no down payment before the work starts.

For small jobs, payment should be made upon completion. If you’re building a new home, however, you’ll most likely pay as the work progresses.

After performing more than 10,000 home inspections, I’ve come to the realization that two of the most important contractors in the home are an electrician and a plumber.

The problems I generally see are in the more rural areas, where codes are lax or not enforced at all.

If an electrician makes a mistake, the results are usually immediate, resulting in blown fuses, tripped breakers or house fires.

If a plumber makes an error, outside of a leaky pipe or a supply line, the error may take a lifetime for you to discover. What I’m talking about, in general, are viruses and bacteria that exit the waste system.

Lately, I’ve seen several sinks and fixtures that have an “S� trap drain. “S� trap drains have been prohibited for decades and have been replaced with a “P� trap drain. To visualize an “S� trap drain, just look under your sink to see if the drainpipe forms an “S,� with the drainpipe going down through the cabinet floor almost directly under the sink. A “P� trap drain will form a “P� shape to maintain a water seal, and the pipe will either go through the wall behind the fixture or extend several inches away from the sink drain before exiting through the floor.

The mechanical purpose of the trap is to hold water to prevent sewer gases containing viruses and bacteria from entering the home through the drain. With an “S� trap drain, the trap is easily siphoned dry with each use and the water seal no longer exists. A properly installed “P� trap will always maintain a water seal. If you have an “S� trap drain and you notice odors in the room, you can run the water slowly for a short time to fill the “S� trap to maintain a water seal so the sewer gases can no longer escape to the home.

Plumbing drains also require a venting system that extends beyond the roof of the home to vent sewer gases to the outside and to provide atmospheric pressure to the drains to allow the drain water to flow freely. An example of a vent would be to place your thumb over a straw in a glass of water. You can lift the water inside the straw until you take your thumb away and the water drains out. If a vent is improperly installed, if it’s too short at the roofline and can be covered by snow or debris, or if it terminates inside the attic, your fixtures may either drain slowly or not at all.

Plumbing repairs should always be performed by a licensed plumber. The plumbing inside your home is so critical that every jurisdiction in the United States requires

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.
