Dead in Kabul include 12 Americans KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — A Taliban suicide bomber rammed a vehicle loaded with explosives into an armored NATO bus Saturday on a busy thoroughfare in Kabul, killing 17 people, including a dozen Americans, in the deadliest strike against the U.S.-led coali-

tion in the Afghan capital since the war began. The blast occurred on the same day that a man wearing an Afghan army uniform killed three Australian soldiers and an Afghan interpreter in the south attacks that show the resiliency of the

insurgency and are likely to raise new doubts about the unpopular 10-year-old war and the Western strategy of trying to talk peace with the Taliban. A spokesman for the fundamentalist Islamic movement, which was ousted in the 2001 invasion

for its affiliation with al-Qaida, claimed responsibility for the Kabul attack, saying the bomber had used 1,540 pounds (700 kilograms) of explosives. The Taliban and related groups have staged more than a dozen major attacks in Kabul this year, including seven since June, in an

With a 1.75 percent earned income tax issue on the ballot for voters in the Miami East Local School District, the fate of athletics, extra-curricular activities, fine arts and electives won’t be the only issue at stake on Nov. 8. Also at stake — local control of the Miami East Local School district (See sidebar, “Fiscal Emergency.”) According to Superintendent Dr. Todd Rappold, if the district is unsuccessful at passing the tax on Nov. 8, the district would more than likely be categorized as “fiscal emergency” immediately after the election.The district was placed in “fiscal caution” in September after an independent audit from the Ohio Department of Education. “If we are not successful, we will be in fiscal emergency and the state will begin taking over the school district,” Rappold said Oct. 28. In a community newsletter, Rappold said state auditors are closely monitoring the results of the Nov. 8 election. If the district is unsuccessful during the upcoming election it will in all likelihood hasten the state’s recommendation that the district be considered for the fiscal emergency designation, he said. Voters must decide whether to replace the district’s current continuing 1 percent traditional income tax with a continuing 1 percent, with an additional 0.75 percent earned income tax. According to the website www.votevikingpridenow.org, the

Jumpy’s • Continued from A1 laser tag at Jumpy’s Fun Zone is 5 years old. Being able to add laser tag to the business — and the fact that their current lease is up at the end of the year — led the trio to seek a larger facility than their current one, an 11,000-squarefoot former hardware store in the Walmart shopping center. So earlier this year, the group secured a $101,500 Small Business Development loan from the city of Troy and packaged that with $200,000 from their bank and $60,000 in personal equity to launch their new venture. “There’s nothing like this north of Dayton. We’ll even bring in people from Springfield,” said Taylor, the

parts and service director at Troy Ford. He said the inflatables business drew ages 2-12, while the laser tag will bring in customers 8 years old and up. “We had a proven method with the inflatables. With laser tag, we just added another facet to our business,” said Plantz, an engineer at Goodrich Corp. in Troy. He and his wife Kim have four children from 7 to 16 years old. “Prime laser tag age,” Plantz said. He said adding laser tag, the Laser Frenzy, a wider selection of arcade games and a cafe will “at least double” current sales. M2 Construction, owned by Troy residents Philip Miller and David Frye, is the general contractor on the Jumpy’s renovation project.

Attack • Continued from A1 apparent campaign to weaken confidence in the Afghan government as it prepares to take over its own security ahead of a 2014 deadline for the U.S. and other NATO countries to withdraw their troops or move them into support roles. Underscoring the difficulties ahead, the brazen assault occurred just hours after top Afghan and Western officials met in the heart of Kabul to discuss the second phase of shifting

security responsibilities to Afghan forces in all or part of 17 of the country’s 34 provinces. Afghans already have the lead in the Afghan capital. Heavy black smoke poured from the burning wreckage of an armored personnel carrier, known as a Rhino, in Kabul after the bomber struck. The bus had been sandwiched in the middle of a convoy of mineresistant military vehicles when it was hit along a four-lane highway often used by foreign military trainers.

1.75 percent income tax, based on adjusted gross income, would cost an additional $300 per year, or approximately $25 per month, based on a $40,000 income. Rappold urged community members to contact the Miami County auditor’s office or their workplace’s human resource management office to compute the 1.75 percent earned income tax for their individual costs. “For students and teachers, (fiscal emergency) would mean each and every decision would be made by someone at the state. Whether a computer was fixed, or classroom supplies are ordered — everything would be decided by a state official,” Rappold said. “Knowing our community, they felt very comfortable offering suggestions and it could be very unfortunate to have decisions being made by someone that isn’t from the school district.” The ballot issue would collectively raise $2.55 million per year of general operating funds, with the conversion of the current, continuing 1 percent traditional income tax to a 1 percent earned income tax, coupled with the additional 0.75 percent earned income tax. The additional 0.75 percent earned income tax would raise an additional $882,000 per year. (See sidebar for earned income tax information). The issue represents 23 percent of the district’s general operating fund. Rappold said with the state funding cuts of nearly $1.1 million, the economy’s affect on property values and income receipts, the district was at a crossroads for funding. “We had several grants that we were hopeful to receive that we did not,” Rappold said, explaining how the district went from

said. Rappold said contractual obligations with the teacher’s union would have to be first considered. The district’s unions for both teachers and support staff have agreed to a 0 percent increase in salary for the next four years and 10-15 percent more in health care contributions. The district has already reduced 11 staff members, including seven teachers, four non-teaching positions, and administrators across the district. “These reductions would include the elimination of elementary art, elementary music, elementary physical education, nearly all electives in grades 7-12, and significantly larger class sizes in all grades K-12,” Rappold said.

Escapee captured after chase LEBANON (AP) — Authorities say a murder suspect who escaped from a Florida jail has been apprehended after a chase on Interstate 75. The Warren County Sheriff ’s Office says deputies tried to pull over a suspected impaired driver in a stolen SUV early Saturday and ended up in a pursuit on I-75 that reached speeds up to 100 mph. The suspect crashed

into a pole and had to be removed from the vehicle. He was identified as 52year-old Rondell Reed, one of two inmates who escaped Monday from the Indian River County jail in Florida. The second inmate was captured Monday night. Reed was jailed Saturday in Ohio on several felony charges, including carrying concealed weapons and failing to comply with police orders.

Vote no on Miami East levy To the Editor: I urge ALL to vote NO on the Miami East request to increase our taxes. Just because they have failed to live within a budget, as we all have to manage to do, should not be a reason for the Miami East BOE to continually to go to the well of the taxpayers. I understand the ramifications of a no vote, but that’s life. I, as most of you readers, cannot just go to my employer or my pension board and say, “I am in a bind, I need more money to get out of it,.” We have to live in the real world when it comes to finances and I for one think it’s high time our schools and every other government entity did too. — Duane Puckett Troy

Vote yes on Miami East levy

sports, will be a tough clientele to motivate. Our schools just won’t be happy places. As a resident, I also understand the implications of the levy. I know I’ll have to pay more taxes, but I know it will be worth it. I do not want my house to be in a district where the schools don’t have what they need. We can look to Sidney schools as an example. Their continued failure to pass levies a couple years ago meant a drastic decline in property values, and many students left to attend schools in districts where they didn’t have to pay huge amounts of money to participate in athletics. My neighbors, we are nearing the same situation. If our schools get a reputation of not having enough, if the state comes and it makes further cuts, and the quality of our education goes down, so will the value of our homes and property. Finally, as a parent of an elementary student, the impacts of this levy failing scare me. The announced cuts include eliminating elementary art, music and gym. Each day, a smiling little second grader appears at my door to go home. She is a bright girl, full of stories about school. On the way home, we always talk about the best parts of her day. Sometimes she tells about math or a great story she read that day. However, just as often she shares a song from music, the rules of a new game she learned in gym, or can’t wait to show me the “super cool” art project she just finished. These teachers are irreplaceable parts of my daughter’s education, and without them she will suffer. All of our kids will. I don’t want her and her younger sister, a future Viking, to grow up in a school where she is one of 30+ in a class and money and the budget are the constant focuses. I want them to be free to learn without having to worry about a levy and what it might mean for their education. As a teacher, resident and mother, I’m asking for all Vikings to go to the polls on Nov. 8 and vote for Miami East’s levy. Vote to keep our schools strong. Vote for our future. Vote for our children.

To the Editor: I am one of several people in the position of being a teacher at Miami East, a resident of the district, and a parent of a student in the school district. The upcoming levy is an absolute necessity to continue to have all the benefits we enjoy as residents of the Miami East community. As a teacher at Miami East Junior High School, I know firsthand what a great school system we have. We have caring teachers, supportive parents, beautiful new buildings, and highachieving students. We are very, very lucky. However, due to state budget cuts that no one could have foreseen, we are in a dire financial position. Major cuts have already been made, and these cuts have affected our ability to educate children. We have lost classes and programs, and some classes are currently holding 30 students. There is a big difference in the quality of education one teacher can provide to 30 students instead of 20. Fun, engaging, hands-on learning experiences fall to the wayside because there are too many students to manage. With no new classroom materials, we do the best we can with — Janet Stevens what we have, but soon what we Troy have just won’t be enough.

Return of dumb icons makes TV smarter Troy Oh, how we’ve missed you. Oh, how the world of TV has desperately, desperately needed you. From 1993-1997, Mike Judge’s MTV series Beavis and Butthead gave disgruntled, outsider-type high school kids — like me back then — role models, although not necessarily in the way you’d think. The dumb duo gave kids a template of what not to do — you laughed at their idiocy, thought “man, I’m glad I’m not that stupid” and then avoided their mistakes. Granted that didn’t stop us from imitating them for the heck of it. My senior year in 1994, my friend Scott and I drove our English teacher insane. Being the blond kid, I got a plain blue T-shirt and had the word “Metallica” stitched onto it. He took a black shirt and put “AC-DC” on it — which was fitting since, at the time, those were our respective favorite bands. And since I did (and still do) a flawless Beavis impersonation — one might even say I am Beavis — and he did an alright Butthead, we proceeded to laugh our way through the entire year. More importantly, though, the show was a launching point for more obscure bands than would have typically shown up on MTV,

Josh Brown Sunday Columnist which by then had already began phasing the actual “music” out of “Music Television.” For those kids who couldn’t necessarily stomach the mainstream bubble-gum pop or rap garbage that MTV was always pimping out — again, like me — Beavis and Butthead was a great place to discover new music, which was supposed to be MTV’s job all along. If not for Beavis and Butthead, I would never have been exposed to Pantera — which is now and forever will be my favorite band — or the likes of White Zombie, Morbid Angel and GWAR. Basically, Beavis and Butthead helped shape the person I turned into. (Explains a lot, doesn’t it?)

But when Judge shut the show down to work on the vastly inferior King of the Hill (at least to die-hard Beavis and Butthead fans), it left a void. And for years until now, that void has been filled with increasingly more moronic programming than even Beavis and Butthead — namely, reality shows. The TV landscape is currently littered with glorified karaoke contests, gussied-up dancing contests and looks into the lives of “real” housewives — except for the part where they’re housewives or even wives at all to their husbands. Until now. Beavis and Butthead made their long-awaited, triumphant return to TV Thursday night — and they’re already making TV a more intelligent medium. Yes, you read that right. Since leaving the show back in the ’90s, Judge has honed the craft of writing and taking shots at pop culture and society in general to perfection. His movie Office Space is almost like a documentary for anyone who works in any kind of office (like us here at the TDN), and Idiocracy gives a glimpse into our country and our world’s all-too-near future. But while Beavis and Butthead

themselves are still as dumb as ever, the show is far more pointed than it ever was before. Judge took aim at a number of things in the first episode. Right off the bat, he skewered the absolute worst thing that has happened to pop culture since his show first went off the air … heck, maybe ever: Twilight. Beavis and Butthead couldn’t figure out why girls were so into that crap — something that much smarter men than them haven’t even solved — so they set out to become “denizens of the night” and look for a vampire or werewolf to bite them. Naturally, hilarity ensues. Judge also took shots at dating reality shows like The Bachelor, as well as MTV-specific shows like Jersey Shore, Teen Mom and 16 and Pregnant. All using his two incredibly dim-witted mouthpieces. When kids as dumb as Beavis and Butthead are making fun of everything else on TV for being stupid — and they have legitimate reason for doing so — you know there’s a problem.

She was born March 19, 1926, in Huron, S.D., to the late Leo and Gladys Funk. She was married to Billy Ray Bernheisel, who preceded her in death on April 30, 2005. Survivors include two sons and daughters-in-law, Fred (Dr. Susan) Bernheisel of Swanton, Ohio, and Pastor Robert (Annette) Bernheisel of Atlanta, Ga.; daughter and son-in-law, Lois (Pastor David) Gilbert of New Hampshire; seven grandchildren, Timothy Gilbert, Katherine Ferreira, Billy Gilbert, Dawn Weaver, Dr. Christopher Bernheisel, Robert Bernheisel and Regina Bernheisel; nine great-grandchildren; and brother, Marvin Funk of Oregon. Esther was preceded in death by her parents; husband; one granddaughter, Amy; one great-grandson, Oliver; and her brother, Donald Funk. The family were close friends of the Lawrence Welk family.

Vikings win district with sweep BY JOSH BROWN Sports Editor jbrown@tdnpublishing.com During the third game of Miami East’s sweep of Taylor, Sam Cash did her best Michael Jordan impersonation.

Tipp, Bethel ousted in district final

When the fate of their season came down to one race, all Milton-Union needed was confidence. After the Bulldogs qualified at last Saturday’s Division II District meet, senior Sergei Brubaker — who placed second at district and has been a member of the cross TROY country program, along with three other seniors, for the past four years — said it was time for Milton-Union to finally get out of the regional as a team. And in Saturday’s D-II Regional race on the Great Miami River levee in Troy, it proved to be the Bulldogs’ time indeed. The Bulldogs picked up a fourth-place finish, scoring 120 points as a team to earn a trip to next Saturday’s state meet — the sixth time in nine years a Milton team has advanced to state under coach Michael Meredith. Milton was nearly flawless from top to bottom, only finishing 15 points back of the second-place Cincinnati Wyoming team (105 points) and only six points away from Oakwood (114). To illustrate just how close two-through-four spots were, Milton’s top five runners combined for an average time of 17:24.87, while Oakwood averaged a

Their just rewards Trojans bound for playoffs again BY DAVID FONG Executive Editor fong@tdnpublishing.com While the Ohio High School Athletic Association won’t officially announce playoff pairings until this afternoon, it would appear as though the Troy football team’s playoff destiny is set. According the website www.joeeitel.com, the Trojans finished fifth in the Division I, Region 3 computer points standings, meaning Troy will travel to Upper Arlington for its opening round playoff game. According to the website, Hilliard Davidson finished first in

TROY the region with 31.5 points, Pickerington Central was second (26.222), Westerville Central was third (26.0), Upper Arlington was fourth (24.9015), Troy was fifth (24.4), Gahanna Lincoln was sixth (23.7306), Dublin Coffman was seventh (22.4268) and Olentangy Orange was eighth (22.2). The top eight teams in each region qualify for the playoffs, while the top four teams in each region host first-round playoff games. There is history between the two teams. In 2000, Upper Arlington defeated Troy 42-14 in the Division I regional semifinals on its way to a state title. In 1993, Troy defeated Upper Arlington 21-13 on the Golden Bears home field in a regular season game. The next year, Upper Arlington returned the favor, defeating Troy 15-9 in a regular season contest at Troy Memorial Stadium. Some final notes from Troy’s 53-6 win over Sidney Friday: • MOST VALUABLE PLAYER: In just two quarters of action, Trojan running back Marcus Foster racked up 136 rushing yards and a pair of touchdowns on a mere six carries before sitting out the second half as Troy’s junior varsity closed out the victory. “Marcus ran the ball hard in the short time he was in there,” Troy coach Steve Nolan said. “Obviously we had nothing to gain by playing any of the starters in the second half.”

Blue Knights win GLFC title Staff and Wire Reports URBANA — The move to NCAA Division II is paying immediate dividends for the Urbana University football team. On Saturday afternoon at UU Stadium, the Blue Knights clinched their second straight Great Lakes Football Conference championship, defeating the Miners from Missouri S&T University 42-7. The win was Urbana’s fourth straight after a 2-3 start. It’s the program’s first four-game winning streak since 2007, and it’s the first time in school history the offense put up 40 or more points in four straight games. With two games still remaining on the schedule, the Blue Knights have already clinched a winning season and tied the school record for wins. Meanwhile, Missouri S&T saw its threegame win streak snapped after falling to 0-2 all-time against their new conference foe. Milton-Union High School graduate Kyle

Wallace started at center for Urbana, and Lehman High School graduate Rodney Huston also played for the Blue Knights. Dayton 49, Valparaiso 10 VALPARAISO, Ind. — Will Bardo threw two touchdowns and ran for another Saturday as Dayton defeated Valparaiso 49-10. Bardo completed 15 of 22 passes for 200 yards, including touchdowns of 55 yards to Jordan Boykin and 44 yards to Branden Johnson. He also rushed for 53 yards and scored on a 5yard run for the Flyers. Lehman High School graduate Dan Jacob had six carries for 66 yards, including a 33-yard touchdown.

With Mercyhurst up 2114 in the fourth quarter, Cody Endres hit Ken Amos on a 22-yard touchdown pass to even the score. Endres then scored on a 1yard run with 57 seconds left on the clock for the game-winning score. Milton-Union High School graduate Kurt Brackman was 4 for 4 on extra point attempts for Slippery Rock. Wofford 48, Elon 28 SPARTNABURG, S.C. — On Homecoming, the Wofford College football team defeated Elon 48-28 on Saturday afternoon at Gibbs Stadium. The Terriers ran for 465 yards and six touchdowns in the contest, including 217 yards and four touchdowns by Eric Breitenstein. Wofford also took advantage of a blocked punt, muffed punt return and an

interception, all of which resulted in touchdowns for the Terriers. Troy High School graduate T.J. White played for Wofford. Hanover 42, Bluffton 7 HANOVER, Ind. — The Bluffton Beavers saw their four-game winning streak come to an end Saturday afternoon, falling at Hanover 42-7. Bluffton’s lone score came on a 10-yard pass from Christopher Byrd to J.A. Johnson that made it a 14-7 game early in the second half. But Hanover picked up a pair of scores before the end of the third quarter, took a 35-7 lead early in the fourth quarter and salted the game away with an 85-yard interception return. Troy High School graduate Tyler Wright had 35 yards on eight carries and was 4 for 8 passing for 24 yards with an interception.

Miami East’s Angie Mack digs up a Taylor kill attempt Saturday. ■ CONTINUED FROM 7 state tournament berth. And even though Miami East’s offense looked out of whack at times in the second and third games after breezing through the first game, the Vikings always managed to get what they needed when they needed it. And more often than not, it was the youngest Cash delivering. “I knew they run a perimeter defense, so if we needed a point, the middle of the floor was open,” Sam Cash said. “I could see the floor easily from where our passers passed it. It was just an automatic point to me.” The sophomore finished with a match-high 13 kills — more than half of them on tip-overs on fake kills — to go with 11 assists, three aces, six digs and a block. But even with the Vikings allowing more points in the second and third games than they have in more of their tournament matches, there never was any kind of sense that they were in any actual danger. “Once the first set was through, we knew we were in control,” Miami East coach John Cash said. “We were crisp in that first set. We came out and executed well, and we ran our gameplan well. It got a little sloppy later on, but I think the girls may have been ‘in the moment’ a little too early. “It’s been a long time (1999) since we won the district, and never in the modern era. The girls were excited.” It took the Vikings two service runs — eight straight by Allie Millhouse that made it 12-2 and six in a row by Sam Cash, including three straight

But the Jackets (17-8) stuck around in the second game, pulling to within 7-4 early before an Angie Mack kill, a joint block by Ashley and Trina Current and a pair of kills by Abby Cash gave the Vikings some breathing room. scored three Taylor straight points at the end of the game — the most in a row anyone has scored on Miami East in the tournament — but the Vikings still closed it out. Throughout the match, Miami East’s front line defense was busier than ever, piling up nine blocks. Leah Dunivan led the way with three blocks to go with two kills, an ace and a dig, and Trina Current — filling in for the team’s lone senior, Kelsey Vanchure — added two blocks, four kills and an assist. “We changed our tempo a little up front. We’re usually more of a passive blocking team,” John Cash said. “But Taylor sets the ball tight to the net, so we had to get up higher and press our hands further. “From this point on, teams are going to be running their offense tighter to the net. We’ve got to be able to stop the ball.” The third game was very similar, but Sam Cash took charge when necessary. Twice she tipped the ball over for easy points — but she also showed that she could hammer the ball, pounding away the match’s

■ CONTINUED FROM 7 four years,” Bethel coach Bob Hamlin said. “They’ve had 61 wins in four years. They have been to the district finals for four years. Our seniors were great leaders and helped us be successful. They are a corps that will be missed.” Both teams won their respective conferences with unblemished records in their leagues, but it was the Irish that took control of the game in this one, scoring their first goal on a corner kick seven minutes into the game, then that was followed another goal moments later. “They scored those first two goals early on, and that kind of summed it up there,” Hamlin said. “That was one of the keys to the game. It was something we talked about all week. We couldn’t let them get up on

us early. We needed to be the aggressor. That is what proved to be the difference.” The Irish defeated the Bees in the regional semifinal round a season ago. Wyoming 1, Tippecanoe 0 MONROE — Tippecanoe fell short in its bid for a Division II District title on Saturday, falling to Cincinnati Wyoming 1-0 at Monroe High School. “They are a good team,” Tippecanoe coach Scott Downing said. “They deserved to win. I wouldn’t say they were necessarily a better team, but they played better than us today.” Tippecanoe finishes the season with a record of 145-1, including an undefeated run to a Central Buckeye Conference Kenton Trail Division title.

NFL looking at Dielman injury

Mack had nine kills, seven digs, an ace and a block, Abby Cash had eight kills, 14 assists, five digs, a block and an ace, Ashley Current had 1 kill, a block and an assist, Allison Morrett had a kill and seven digs and Millhouse had two aces and 10 digs. Miami East will face Anna — the team that knocked out the Vikings in last year’s sectional championship game — Wednesday in the regional

semifinal at Fairmont’s Trent Arena. “It’s been really fun,” Sam Cash said. “Coach tells us that we’ve got a lot of skill, and that this opportunity doesn’t come along often. And we’re making the most of it while we have everyone. We want to do it up big for our senior.” And as for getting caught up in the moment early? “I don’t think that will happen again from this point forward,” John Cash said with certainty.

SAN DIEGO

The NFL is looking into the events surrounding a concussion suffered by San Diego Chargers offensive lineman Kris Dielman. NFL vice president Bryan McCarthy said the league is reviewing the injury with the team, medical staff and NFL Players’ Association. McCarthy said in an email Friday that the review is ongoing and it is customary with all injuries. The NFLPA comdeclined ment until it receives more i n f o r m a t i o n . DIELMAN There’s an inquiry into Dielman’s concussion because of some unusual circumstances surrounding the injury. Dielman, a Troy High School graduate, was concussed with approximately 12 minutes remaining in the Oct. 23 game against the New York Jets, after which he struggled to maintain balance. He finished the game despite the head injury and was not assessed until after the loss to New York. The Chargers announced the injury shortly before the team

boarded a plane for San Diego. Dielman suffered a grand mal seizure near the end of the team’s charter flight, although he was cleared of all long-term complications surrounding the concussion and seizure. He has not taken the NFL’s official concussion test and has not been cleared to play. The Chargers came under scrutiny for how they handled Dielman’s injury, but coach Norv Turner believes the team dealt with the situation as best it could. “Everything was handled extremely well,” Turner said. “All the proper precautions were taken. Kris was evaluated when we landed and all the tests were excellent. We’re fortunate, he’s fortunate and we’re moving on.” He never came out of the game despite intermittent signs of struggle, although he performed well as a blocker. The Chargers said they never saw a reason to evaluate their Pro Bowl left guard.

Cardinals, Rangers put on show in great Series ST. LOUIS (AP) — David Freese swooped in, expecting Elvis Andrus to bunt. He did, but the ball trickled wide of the line. The St. Louis third baseman scooped up the foul, scanned the crowd and spotted his target sitting near the Texas dugout: a man in the front row wearing a Rangers jacket, with a glove. Freese flipped him the souvenir, drawing a big smile and making yet another friend in his hometown. Then again, why not? There was plenty to share in this World Series. A Game 6 that ranked among baseball’s greatest thrillers. A three-homer performance by Albert Pujols that’s probably the best hitting show in postseason history. Ron Washington running in place, Tony La Russa reacting in dismay at a ball that got away. Everyone learning how to chant NapOh-Lee! Oh, and a Rally Squirrel on the scoreboard and a telephone mix-up in the bullpen. “I told you it was going to be a great series and it was,” Texas slugger Josh Hamilton said. Hamilton put Texas ahead with an RBI double in the first inning Friday night in Game 7. Freese and the Cardinals, however, would not be denied. A night after twice rallying when it was one strike from elimina-

tion, St. Louis came back to win the championship with a 6-2 victory. “Now that we’ve won it, it makes yesterday greater,” La Russa said. Said Hamilton: “It was actually fun to watch and fun to see. You hate it, but it happened.” An October for fans to cherish, for sure. A lot of them tuned in: The clincher drew the most viewers for a baseball game since Boston won in 2004, and boosted overall television ratings 19 percent higher than last year’s World Series between Texas and San Francisco. Even before the opener, many observers predicted this Series would be a dud because it lacked big-market teams. Minus the likes of the Yankees, Red Sox and Phillies, some said, it would attract little attention. Inning by inning, it got more intriguing. “I know there’s been a lot of conversation about ratings,” Commissioner Bud Selig said before Game 7. “Some of it, in my opinion … was misinformed.” No mistaking that it was quite a run for baseball. Exactly a month before the Cardinals won their 11th championship, they captured a playoff spot on the final day of the regular season. The night of Sept. 28 was riveting St. Louis capped a comeback from 10 games down to overtake Atlanta for the NL wild

The one that brought winning and losing into a tight focus: Chris Carpenter and the Cardinals celebrating their 1-0 win over Roy Halladay in Philadelphia while star slugger Ryan Howard writhed on the ground, having torn his Achilles tendon during a game-ending groundout. Soon after, the first

Game 7 in the World Series since 2002. “Somebody said on television, baseball has had a coming-out party since Labor Day. I don’t think so. I think it’s always there,” Selig said. “It’s produced for this country really a remarkable chain of events.” In a year punctuated by historic comebacks and epic collapses, it’d be easy to say the biggest rally of all belonged to baseball. That’s what many like to say whenever the game shows

up well. Is it true, will that be so? Selig insists the sport already is more popular than ever. Major league attendance slightly increased this season, ending three seasons of drops. The Chicago Cubs have renewed hope for next year after hiring Theo Epstein to oversee the club, a new ballpark is waiting in Florida for the team that will soon officially become the Miami Marlins. Certainly a back-and-

forth World Series boosted interest, helped by the two most magical words in sports: Game 7. “There isn’t anybody on this team, the other team, too, that when you’re a young kid you don’t think about winning the World Series, and it’s always in Game 7,” La Russa said. Freese delivered the key hit, a two-run double that tied it in the first inning. The MVP of the NL championship series wound up adding the World Series MVP trophy. He saved the Cardinals’ season in Game 6, lining a two-strike, two-out, two-run triple in the ninth and then hitting a winning home run in the 11th. An inning before Freese connected, Hamilton homered to put Texas ahead. Had the Rangers held on, mostly likely Mike Napoli would’ve been picked the Series MVP. So, so close. Freese estimated he got about 45 minutes of sleep as Thursday night turned into Friday. A lot to think about for a player who quit baseball out of high school because it wasn’t fun anymore. From done to donating his bat and jersey to the Hall of Fame. “I’m trying to soak this all in,” he said. “I’ve tried to soak in this whole postseason as much as I can because you never know if it’s your last attempt at a title.”

Covington’s Lane White runs in the Division III Regional Saturday. ■ CONTINUED FROM 7 17:24.48 and Wyoming netted a time of 17:20.59. Nobody, however, got even close to Springfield Shawnee — a team that is undoubtedly a contender for the state title next week. The top five Shawnee runners finished in spots two, three, four, seven and 17, and combined to average a time of 16:43.32. Bellefontaine’s Nate Orndorf (16:05.29) edged Shawnee’s Michael Tymoski (16:05.71) at the finish line to win the individual title. “All we had to do was run our race to advance,” Meredith said. “The seniors were great. When you have four seniors who have ran varsity since their freshman years, that experience factor comes into play. “You know, those seniors have always been a good team. They missed going to state by three points their sophomore year, but I’ve always thought they had what it took to get to state.” Those seniors Meredith was referring to were Brubaker, who finished sixth overall (16:52.94), Logan Jackson (15th, 17:07.98), Cory Klosterman (17:30.53) and Matt Howard (52nd, 17:54.18). Junior Troy Tyree was the fourth man in for Milton, posting an equally impressive time of 17:38.69 to finish 36th in the race. Both Brubaker and Jackson would have qualified as individuals had the Bulldogs not made it as a team. “Logan went out and ran a good race,” Meredith said. “It was a very strategic race. He went out and locked into that 16th spot. Anytime somebody would make a move, Logan would counter and go right back ahead.” Milton’s Kyle Schwartz finished in 89th overall, running a time of 18:39.90, while Connor Lundsford ran an 18:46.45 to place 95th. Now what awaits the Bulldogs is an all-out battle between Ohio’s best in Hebron next Saturday, and surely, the pride, confidence and competitive nature that Milton has displayed this year will come into play. “There is a difference between thinking you’re good and knowing your good,” Meredith said. “Our guys knew they were good. That was their mindset going in, and that’s why we got out today.” “When you get to state, you want to compete. It’s a point of pride. We know the race is going to be competitive, but we are shooting to get top 10.” • Division I For the first time of the season, Tippecanoe’s Sam Wharton looked human. Wharton, the D-I District title winner that has dominated every area race he has been in this year, placed eighth in the D-I Regional by running a 16:06.28. Wharton ran in the leading pack for most of the race before losing ground to Stebbin’s Jesse Moreno (second place, 15:51.99) and eventual winner Nick Vogle (15:50.99) of Anderson around the two-mile mark. Wharton was then passed by a few runners down the final stretch, yet still easily qualified for state once again. Tippecanoe went on to place 13th as a team (287 points). Other Tipp finishers

Troy coach Bob Campbell knew it would be an uphill battle going into the regional meet, with his team racing against the cream of the crop, not only in D-I, but also in the entire state. And Campbell — who has had two teams make it to state in his tenure at Troy, once in 1979 and the other in 1988 — knows far to0 well the difficulties of the D-I Troy Regional. “Year in and year out its just so tough (at the Troy regional),” Campbell said. “All of the regions in Division I are tough. Division I has so many tough runners.” But the Trojans’ confidence was sky-high heading into the meet, having won their first district title since 1998 a week ago and running their best race of the season.

■ CONTINUED FROM 7 Saturday. Litton finished just on the outside of the qualifying cut in 28th, running a respectable time of 20:26.72. “I thought Michaela ran a great race,” Milton-Union coach Michael Meredith said. “She ran within her limits. It was a real even race. She was happy with the result. “But she’s had a better career than 90 percent of the girls out there. She’s had a stellar track career and been a part of our girls cross country team that went to state.” Barhorst Claudia helped lead Tippecanoe to a 12th-place finish (257 points), as she ended up right behind Litton in 31st, running a time of 20:32.12. The remaining Tipp runners were Brinna Price (57th, 21:09.31), Alexandra Mahan (66th, 21:30.14), Meredith Coughlin (73rd, 21:46.21) and Katherine Wilcher (84th, 22:00.16). Alter won the race (83 points), Napoleon placed second (112) and Bellbrook came in third (118). • Division I Much like the Troy boys team, the Troy girls knew it wasn’t going to be a walk in the park in Saturday’s Division I race, having to compete against a wealth of talent from the Greater Western Ohio Conference and a slew of other powerhouses from Cincinnati. The Trojans finished 15th overall (401 points), with Caitlyn McMinn leading the cause, finishing 65th (20:24.42). Natalie Snyder finished 84th (20:50.93), Katie-Grace Sawka placed 104th (21:34.76), Megan Falknor was 105th (21:36.88), Cristina Dennison finished 111th (21:51.58) and Hailey Pierce ended in 113th (21:55.57). The GWOC was represented well at the meet,

Claudia Saunders (18:19.11) of Princeton won the Division I title, holding off Lebanon’s Jacquelyn Crow (18:19.30) in a close finish. • Division III Covington’s solid season came to a close on Saturday in the Division III race. Covington placed 10th in a competitive race, scoring 265 points and posting an average time of 21:59.21. The Buccs were led by Heidi Cron, who finished 41st (21:13.00). Jessie Shilt placed 44th (21:21.31), while Tara Snipes was 73rd (22:05.69), Julianna Simon came in 87th (22:39.79) and Casey Yingst ended up in (23:02.23). With an average time of 19:58.66, it was West Liberty-Salem (65 points) that edged the Tammy Berger-led Versailles squad (74) to win the team title. Though the race was closer than normal, Berger held on to beat Meghan Vogel of West Liberty-Salem, as she ran a 18:58.57 compared to Vogel’s 19:07.90.

ELECTION

MIAMI VALLEY SUNDAY NEWS • WWW.TDN-NET.COM

Five face off in Tipp City council race Voters will elect three to serve city Five residents, including Dee Gillis, Michael McFarland, Mike McDermott, George Lovett and John Kessler (I) are running for seats on Tipp City Council. Kessler did not return a profile. Three will be elected. Dee Gillis (I) Family: Husband Kelly; children Kelly Jr., Dublin, and Mary Smith, Troy Experience: Four years on council, and two as mayor Employment: Retired now. Was owner of Kelly & Dee’s Hair & Gifts in downtown Tipp GILLIS City for 25 years. Education: Tippecanoe High, class of 1969; Miami Valley Beauty School Proudest achievement: Serving as mayor of Tipp City Why I’m running for office: I want to continue to serve. Why the voters should choose me: I have no agenda except to serve. I look at each issue with an open mind and try to make the best decisions for the residents and the city. I have experience, common sense and a great love of our community. What I consider important issues: The most important issue facing our community is dealing with the economy and the governmental cutbacks while preseving the quality of life in Tipp City. We must maintain fiscal responsibility while setting the budget and capital improvement plan, deciding what can be cut and what must stay, equipment, employees, and services. What will be the best decisions for the citizens? A balance is essential. Michael McFarland Family: Wife Patti and children Chris, Alabama/Tennessee; Jeff, Brookwood, Ala., Jill, at home. Experience: Current 12-year member of the Tipp City Planning Board with six years as chairman. MCFARLAND Twenty-six years administrating contracts and purchases through work. Employment: Thirty-nine plus years with Tipp Machine & Tool Inc. with the last 26 years serving as purchasing agent. Education: Tippecanoe High School, graduating in 1970. Edison State for a couple classes in the ’70s. Sinclair Community College during the early ’90s working on an associate’s

degree. Attended various jobrelated seminars over the past 26 years. Proudest achievement: Helped eight young men achieve the Eagle Scout rank in Boy Scouts while serving as scoutmaster for Troop 395 here in Tipp City. Why I’m running for office: I am running for Tipp City Council because I care about this community. We need to make sure that our tax dollars are being spent effectively and responsibly by bringing better fiscal responsibility back to the people. Why voters should choose me: I have been involved with the city while serving on the planning board for the past 12 years. I have worked with the different department heads, developers and local residents to help provide a better quality of life. The many years of working as a purchasing agent has allowed me to understand and negotiate contracts using a common sense approach to achieve a win-win result. What I consider important issues: 1) Council insurance. Most other communities around do not provide insurance to their council members, and were in total shock that Tipp City does. The elimination of this perk would be better spent benefitting the residents (approximately 10,000) instead of the four who currently receive it. This would save the city $300,000plus that could be used for paving more streets, replacing another fire truck, or replacing any other equipment that is in dire need of replacement. It could even be used to maintain staffing levels in our police, fire and EMS departments. 2) Residents’ comments need to be put back at the beginning of the council meetings, so that the residents do not have to sit through one-, two- and threehour meetings just to raise a point or ask a question. The people of Tipp City should be held in high regard and listened to first. Is not council elected to serve them? These are the main two areas of concern that I feel will help the residents of Tipp City along with the fiscal responsibility that they so deserve. George Lovett (I) Family: Wife Roselyn; our daughter, Beatrice, lives with us Experience: Member, Tipp City Council since 2004; mayor of Tipp City 2006-2007 Employment: Employed as attorney with Lovett & Lovett, Tipp City. I have worked as an attorney since I graduated from law school in 1988. Education: Graduated from Delaware Hayes High School, Delaware, Ohio (1980); bachelor

of arts degree, summa cum laude, Miami University (1983); master of TIPP arts degree, Ohio State University CITY (1985); juris doctorate, Ohio State University (1988); licensed as an attorney by the Ohio Supreme Court (1988). Proudest achievement: Convinced Roselyn to marry me (1990), and became Beatrice’s father (1994). Why I’m running for office: I wish to continue to provide experienced and steady leadership for our community. Why voters LOVETT should choose me: I have experience on council, a broad knowledge of the community, and work well with others. I have served eight years as a council member and two years as mayor. I am past president of the Tipp City Rotary, Optimists, and Mum Festival. I served on the Tipp City Library Board. I am chairman of the Tri-County Board of Recovery and Mental Health. I served on the TippMonroe Airport Task Force and the Monroe-Union Sewer Task Force. I serve on the Board of Directors of the Ohio Municipal Electric Association and the Policy Planning Council of the American Public Power Association. These groups advocate on behalf of public power communities, like Tipp City, in Columbus and Washington, D.C., helping to keep electric available at a low cost. As we saw with the recent storm, this also helps us get mutual aid from other cities to make emergency repairs to restore power promptly. As mayor, I established the Past Council Members’ Forum to gain input from this valuable resource. I have also promoted faith and tolerance by visiting at least 17 churches in our community, several of them two and three times. What I consider important issues: In my opinion, we face one big challenge: how to maintain our infrastructure and services with dwindling dollars. We have been maintaining streets, parks and utility systems, as well as police, fire and EMS services, with some of the region’s lowest tax and utility rates. We want to keep doing that. Although we passed an income tax levy this year, keeping these rates low will be even harder as the state has been cutting our funding and proposes taking away the collection of our local income taxes.

Some of the things we need to do are keep our volunteer system for fire and EMS services and aggressively obtain grants to pay for improvements. We also need to stay a public power community. This helps to keep our electric rates low and service reliable. Simply put, we need to control costs with everything we do. We must hold our expenses down to make every cent go as far as possible. Mike McDermott Family: Wife Virginia McDermott and children Misty McDermott Preece of Fayetteville, N.C., Michael McDermott of Tipp City, Connor McDermott of Tipp City and Kieran McDermott of Tipp City Experience: Five-year board member of the Tipp City Area Chamber of Commerce, chairman in 2007; nine years as project manMCDERMOTT ager of global operations for EDS/Hewlett Packard. Employment: Owner/president of Bash Foo, a small marketing agency and Web design company in Tipp City’s historic downtown. Education: Stephen T. Badin High School (Hamilton Catholic) in Hamilton — graduated 1988; Miami University, Oxford, 19891991; Wright State University, Dayton, 2003-2006 Proudest achievement: I started a marketing agency in Tipp City with just a few bucks in my pocket, and grew it into a well-recognized, respected and self-sufficient entity that employs talented local creative folks while also assisting other local businesses to reach their goals for exposure and growth. While I am not quite there yet, this has to be my most important and cherished achievement. Why I’m running for office: Residents of Tipp City deserve better. They deserve better outcomes from the decisions that are made by city council. The current council squabbles over their own benefits rather than focus on what achievements are necessary for our city to thrive and grow. And only with great consternation and theatrics was council able to pass a budget for 2011. They are more determined to win court cases against local businesses than they are in identifying ways they can keep our existing businesses from leaving. This is a failure to lead. I am running for office because I have demonstrated both the organizational and professional leadership necessary for the position. As Chairman of the Tipp City Area Chamber of Commerce, I drew up the financial outlooks and plans to ensure that the organization would continue to exist and

grow, well beyond my board tenure. The organization is now financially strong and growing, in part I believe to a type of leadership that does not shy away from making the difficult decisions. Why voters should choose me: I have dedicated a good portion of my life to making things better for this community, by bringing people together to solve problems. As your councilman, I will bring my passion for growing Tipp businesses, my commitment to our schools, along with some badly needed solutions-oriented approaches to our challenges. We’re going to make Tipp City a place where families can enjoy affordable housing, safe neighborhoods and a thriving local economy. But it’s my life’s story that makes me uniquely qualified. In 2009, I was let go from my big corporate job along with many other residents of the Miami Valley. Instead of moving away, with determination I opened up a small Internet marketing company called Bash Foo, occupied a long vacant industrial building in the downtown and have a part-time employee now working for me. I love Tipp City, and I make no bones about it. This position on city council is my way of giving back to the community that has supported me, my family and my business. What I consider important issues: Tipp City Council, as currently composed, lacks vision, specifically long-term vision. They’re worried about today because they failed to plan yesterday. The way forward for Tipp is to think, strategically, about our collective future. Five, 10, 20 years out. Tipp City Council isn’t planning, it isn’t acting; it’s reacting. That’s management, which is important, but it’s not leadership, which is critical. Tipp City’s Council — not the city itself — has been hostile to growth for years. So, what happens when you make someone feel unwelcome? They stop coming around! For a city, that means a diminished tax base, diminished services, increased tax rates — and, sadly, sideshow austerity circuses where politicians make a lot of noise, throw dimes after dollars, and make martyrs of themselves by foregoing perks in order to fill a gap they themselves created with their own shortsightedness. I want Tipp City’s tax base to grow. I want to welcome new companies, new jobs, new families, new ideas, new thinking! Planning, strategic development, and well-implemented growth strategies will allow Tipp City to remain one of the most affordable and beautiful communities to live, work and play. At the same time, we could maintain — or even lessen — current burdens on residents and businesses.

ensure the sustainability of our village. The Village of West Milton is facing some serious decisions over the next decade and we need individuals who are serious about solving them and finding solutions that benefit everyone in the village. Staying with the status quo because we have always done it this way is no longer an option in these tough economic times. The families and members living in our village have to make tough decisions that affect their lives, and the council should make decisions to help aid and not hinder in this endeavor. Why voters should choose me: I have the experience and education to ensure that the best decisions are made and the right questions are asked for the future of our village. I also have the ability to work with others to solve our problems. What I consider important issues: The first issue is explaining to the residents of West Milton what is going on with the water rates and trash rates and begin to review what the future options could be. The second issue will be to begin talks with the community for what the village can do to bring more businesses downtown and to find a safe place for our children to “hang out.” There is no place locally that our children can go to and have a good time in the evening. We need to address this and determine what the village and the future village manager will do to help aid in this endeavor.

Score-settling after Libya’s war casts shadow TAWERGHA, Libya (AP) — This town once loyal to Moammar Gadhafi is no more: its 25,000 residents have fled, fearing retribution from vengeful victors from the neighboring city of Misrata who have burned and ransacked homes, crossed out Tawergha’s name on road signs and vowed not to let anyone return. Tawergha, about 20 miles south of Misrata, is just one casualty of score-settling following Libya’s 8month civil war that ended with Gadhafi’s Oct. 20 capture and death. The country’s interim leaders have appealed for restraint, but seem unable to control revolutionary forces whose recent vigilante acts, including the suspected killing of Gadhafi while in custody, have begun to tarnish their heroic image abroad. A Western diplomat said Libya’s new leaders need to come out more strongly against the culture of revenge, and hold the former fighters accountable for their actions. Failure to resolve such conflicts and bring regime supporters, including in the badly damaged loyalist towns of Sirte and Bani Walid, into the fold could destabilize Libya and hamper the

A road sign pointing to the town of Tawergha, a former bastion of support for Moammar Gadhafi, has been painted over with “Misrata,” in Arabic, as part of score-settling following Libya's eight-month civil war. Tawergha’s roughly 25,000 residents have fled, fearing retribution from the neighboring city of Misrata who suffered at the hands of Tawergha during the war and now vow not to let anyone return there. attempted transition to democracy, the diplomat warned, speaking on condition of anonymity because of the sensitive subject matter. However, people in Misrata, which was heavily damaged during the war, are in no mood for reconciliation. The port city of 300,000 rose up early against

Gadhafi and came under a weekslong siege by Gadhafi fighters, many from Tawergha which served as a staging ground for the loyalists. Nearly 1,300 Misrata residents were killed and thousands wounded in the fighting, city officials say. Misrata officials have accused

the Tawerghans, some of them descendants of African slaves, of particular brutality during the war, including alleged acts of rape and looting. During the siege, Gadhafi fighters sniped at residents from roof tops and shelled the city indiscriminately. Ibrahim Beitelmal, spokesman for Misrata’s military council, said he believes Tawergha should be wiped off the map, but that the final decision is up to the national leadership. “If it was my decision, I would want to see Tawergha gone. It should not exist,” said Beitelmal, whose 19-year-old son was killed in the fighting on Tripoli Street. Misrata fighters captured Tawergha in mid-August, just days before the fall of the capital Tripoli dealt a fatal blow to the Gadhafi regime and forced the dictator into hiding in his hometown of Sirte. Most of Tawergha’s residents fled as the Misrata brigades approached, according to the U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs. For the past two months, Tawergha has been a ghost town, with access roads blocked by earthen mounds and other obstacles. Road signs pointing to Tawergha have been painted over.

Misrata brigades have scribbled slogans on the walls of abandoned homes. “The Tawergha are the rats of Gadhafi,” read graffiti on one facade, using Gadhafi’s derogatory name for his opponents. The fallen regime had tried to ensure Tawergha’s loyalty with promises of jobs and investment, and while some of the homes there were ramshackle, the town also boasted a modern school, medical clinic and rows of new apartment buildings. A tour of Tawergha on Friday showed widespread vandalism. The school, clinic, small shops and modern apartments had been ransacked, with some rooms burned and contents of closets strewn on the ground. Human Rights Watch researchers have said Tawergha homes have been set on fire since the town’s capture, and the group is to release an extensive report Sunday. Two Misrata fighters driving through Tawergha on Friday said the town’s residents are no longer welcome. “They will have to find a different place and build houses there,” said 22-year-old Naji Akhlaf, standing outside a small grocery that had been largely emptied out, with cartons of juice strewn across the entrance.

Qantas Airways grounds global fleet due to strikes CANBERRA, Australia (AP) — Qantas Airways has grounded its global fleet, suddenly locking out striking workers after weeks of flight disruptions that an executive said could close down the world’s 10thlargest airline piece by piece. Following Saturday’s announcement by Qantas, the Australian government called for an emergency arbitration hearing, which was adjourned early Sunday morning after evidence was heard from the unions and airline. The hearing was to resume Sunday afternoon, when the government was expected to argue that the airline be ordered to fly in Australia’s economic interests. Qantas chief executive Alan Joyce said the airline

could be flying again within hours if the three arbitration judges rule Sunday to permanently terminate the grounding and the unions’ strike action. The unions want the judges to rule for a suspension so that the strikes can be resumed if their negotiations with the airline fail. “Within six hours, we can get the fleet flying again” after the aviation regulator provides a routine clearance, Joyce told Australian Broadcasting Corp. television Sunday. “We have to wait and see what that process generates today,” he said, referring to the court hearing. Planes in the air when the grounding was announced continued to their destinations, and at

least one taxiing flight stopped on the runway, a passenger said. Among the stranded passengers are 17 world leaders attending a Commonwealth summit in the western Australian city of Perth. When the grounding was announced, 36 international and 28 domestic Australian flights were in the air, the airline said. Qantas, which flies 70,000 passengers a day, said 108 airplanes were being grounded at 22 airports, but did not say how many flights were involved. Spokesman Tom Woodward said 13,000 passengers were booked to fly international flights to Australia within 24 hours of the grounding. The lockout was expected to have little impact in the

United States. Only about 1,000 people fly daily between the U.S. and Australia, said aviation consultant Michael Boyd. “It’s not a big deal,” he said. Qantas is “not a huge player here.” Los Angeles International Airport spokeswoman Diana Sanchez said Saturday that she was not aware of any passengers stranded at the airport because of the strike. Five Los Angeles-bound Qantas flights were already in the air when the lockout began and were expected to arrive as scheduled, she said. Sanchez said Qantas indicated it planned to cancel the handful of flights scheduled to depart from Los Angeles on Saturday. Douglas Phillips and his

wife, Diane, were among about 400 travelers at Los Angeles International Airport who were scrambling to find another way to Australia after their Qantas flight to Melbourne was halted at the last minute. Douglas Phillips said they were buckled in and awaiting takeoff early Saturday when the pilot informed passengers that all Qantas flights had been grounded due to a companywide “industrial action.” “At first everyone thought they were kidding for some reason, but then we realized they were deadly serious,” said Phillips, of Dover, Delaware. After getting a few hours of sleep at a Los Angeles motel, the couple managed to secure a spot on a

Saturday night Virgin Australia flight to Sydney. They expected an eight-hour layover there before finally getting to Melbourne, nearly three days late. The real problems for travelers were more likely to be at far busier Qantas hubs in Singapore and London’s Heathrow Airport, said another aviation consultant, Robert Mann. Booked passengers were being rescheduled on a 24hour basis, with Qantas handling any costs in transferring bookings to other airlines, said Woodward, the Qantas spokesman. Bookings already had collapsed after unions warned travelers to fly other airlines through the busy Christmas-New Year period.

NATURAL WANDERS

Nature measures time in its own ways I noticed the katydid as I stepped outside with the dog for a brief after-lunch amble. The little lime-green insect was sitting atop the back of one of the deck’s teak rocking chairs, warming itself in a shaft of sunlight that streamed through the few remaining leaves on the big box elder near the front door. An old bit of country folk-wisdom says that 90 days after the date when you hear summer’s first katydid, you can expect to witness autumn’s first frost. This summer, on the night of July 15, I heard the repetitious calling of the season’s first katydid coming from the roses just beyond the opened bedroom window. And just over a week ago, almost to the predicted day, I arose to find autumn’s first frost had arrived here along the river, whitening the grass and new-fallen leaves. I thought about this phonological connection while giving the rocker a wide berth. I had no wish to disturb the diminutive weather prophet from its comfortable basking, since the

what’s left of them, will eventually lie in tattered remnants on the ground. According to our energy and inclination, we’ll either rake them into piles and cart them off to the compost heap, or simply allow nature and the vagaries of errant winds to have their way with the mess. Autumn, I’ve heard the old Jim McGuire countrymen say, gets washed Troy Daily News Columnist downstream. Indeed, more than a few of those falling leaves have already landed in the katydid’s days will soon be over. river. There they float like “To everything there is a pieces of confetti on the curseason,” notes Ecclesiastes … rent, spinning in the eddies, and the season for katydids is and briefly lining the shallow poignantly brief. Perhaps this edges along the riffles. week, or possibly the next, on Some of those leaves will the night before a too-hard become waterlogged and sink. frost, the little katydid will sing In time they’ll break down and its own eulogy. add their nutrients to the botThe passage of moments and tom muck, enriching the food seasons form the intertwined supply for various small organmeasures of everything on the isms — eventually feeding planet. invertebrates such as mayflies Time passes, months come and caddis, which in turn feed and go. October is all but over, the crayfish and minnows that and November will soon take become meals for queen snakes its place. Autumn’s leaves, and smallmouth bass.

Nothing in nature goes to waste. But not all the fallen leaves on the water will remain here for the recycle. Many will be carried off by the next cold freshet — ending up who knows where. Nature is also pretty good at redistribution. While the life of a katydid is pitiably short, the life of a tree can span mere decades — or several centuries. That box elder by the front door is maybe 50 years old, which means it’s within a decade or so of coming to the end of a typical lifespan for the species. Yet there’s a bur oak up the road that’s well over 200 years old, and a white oak not far beyond whose age has been estimated at 600-700 years! On a dandy bass creek a few miles from here, there’s a fine old sycamore which I try to visit whenever I’m anywhere close. I’ve not measured the girth, but it’s by far the largest sycamore I’ve found anywhere — and the biggest tree of any sort I’ve seen

in Ohio. A friend who knows about aging trees says the venerable sycamore is doubtless 500 or more years old. No, not as old as that ancient white oak — but still, a tree whose life reaches back half a millennium. I sometimes lean against the enormous bole and contemplate how the tree sprang up from the fertile streambank during the days of Christopher Columbus. It was already 250 years old at the time the French and their Indian allies attacked the Miami’s village of Pickawillany. The tree enjoyed maturity while all the history of the United States — good and bad — unfolded. Barring storms or vandalism, the huge sycamore will likely still be standing long after my bones are slowly enriching some patch of Buckeye soil. Streams, mountains, trees, leaves, fish, squirrels, katydids — and writers — all have their season. All find their measure in time.

If you are hosting a big gathering, whether it’s for Thanksgiving, Christmas or Hanukkah, or even just to have a festive party not tied to a particular holiday, consider making the event a potluck. Not only will this make your life easier, but it enables others to more fully participate in a special day, too. If you don’t want to leave the menu to chance, assign responsibility for specific dishes to guests. • Make a “day of” cooking plan in advance. You don’t want to be stuck in the kitchen from dawn to dusk without any hope of being able to mingle with your guests. At least one week before the event, sit down and map out the cooking schedule hour-by-hour, and

even minute-by-minute. Put it down on a piece of paper that you can keep on your kitchen counter. As you put it together, look for ways you can pre-prep items a day before and delegate tasks, like chopping vegetables, arranging hors d’oeuvres on platters, and filling water glasses. • Set the table a week ahead. Rather than stressing about the table setting while you’re trying to get food cooked, get it squared away in advance. Ideally, you can arrange the tablecloth, plates and silverware a few days before your event. But the night before is fine, too, if you don’t have a separate dining-room table. • Cheat your way to a decorated table. Ever looked at a home-goods catalog and wished your table could look as elegant without spending a dime? It can. The marvelous blog, TheNester.com has a brilliant post titled “Pottery Barn Hacks for Thanksgiving,” which is like a cheat sheet for decorating with flair without spending a thing. • Don’t enter a grocery store without a list. Shopping lists help you avoid buying more than you really need. They also eliminate the predicament of having to run back to pick up an essential ingredient you forgot. Nothing wrecks entertaining mojo faster than reaching for an item you thought you had, but don’t. Another bonus: Lists make it easier to delegate the shopping! • Assign family members to ongoing cleanup duty. Nobody wants to spend hours in the kitchen after a big celebration slaving away over the dishes. Keep a rotating team of dishwashers in the kitchen who can wash pots, pans and other

Bobcat CT 450 - 50 HP Bobcat 3400 XL Utility Veh Stock #23022 Stock #23241

cooking utensils as you go along. • Use packing lists to help you travel light. If you are hitting the road to visit family or friends, take five minutes to make a list of must-have items to pack before you start. People typically wear 10 percent to 20 percent of what they pack for a holiday trip. This year, just pack the essentials and skip the rest! • Send an e-card. If sending out physical cards is stressful and unpleasant for you, consider making the switch to e-holiday cards. Companies like Blue Mountain, Hallmark and American Greetings have huge selections of e-greeting cards you can customize and send to friends and family right from your computer. • Streamline gift-giving. You give better gifts to the people you love without going over your budget when you take the time to organize a gift-giving plan before hitting the mall. Use free tools, like Holiday Gift Printables from Get ButtonedUp.com, to map out your budget, brainstorm gifts and organize shopping trips. • Skip the mall; shop online. The great thing about doing your gift shopping online is that you can do it any time that works for you — and you can have items shipped directly to another person without having to schlep to the post office. It’s also easier to comparison shop so you get the best price. • Set a deadline for completing your shopping. A project will take up whatever time you allot for it. Simply set a date — say, Dec. 10 — as the deadline for getting through your shopping list this year. Set reminders in your calendar to keep yourself on track.

• Limit decorations. If you have ever been to Colonial Williamsburg around the holidays, you know the decorating wonders that can be accomplished with four simple things: greens, red ribbon, baby’s breath, and candles (faux or real). Of course, don’t forget to exercise caution whenever lighted candles are involved. • Invest in an ornament box. These inexpensive bins make it much easier to take out and put away holiday decorations. They also keep your decorations in mint condition, which means you don’t have to buy new ones very often. • Plan ahead to use badweather days for crafts projects. If you stock up now on items like construction paper, scissors, spray paint, glitter and the like, you can whip up a crafty item, like spray-painted pine cones, on a dreary afternoon. • Skip the wrapping paper and gift cards. Instead, use old newspapers, outdated maps, cloth bags or even kids’ artwork to wrap presents. It’s better for the planet and easier on your wallet. • Limit commitments and set aside time each week to decompress. A few holiday events are essential (i.e., your child’s school play), but many are not. Discuss invitations with your family and outline your true priorities in advance. If you feel “guilty” saying you can’t make an event, try this RSVP script: “My heart says yes, but, sadly, our family calendar says no. Wish we could be there to celebrate. Hope you have a wonderful time!” In addition, set aside one time a week, like Sundays after lunch, to relax, meditate and recapture a sense of calm.

Squirmy toddler? There’s an app for that MIAMI (AP) — There’s a new routine these days whenever Amber Mullaney goes out to eat at a restaurant. While waiting to be seated, she asks her husband to get the phone ready to hand over to their 2-year-old daughter, Tatum. The phone with its ability to stream episodes of Dora the Explorer is a godsend, Mullaney says. Attempts at going out without whipping out the gadget have been disastrous, the mom says. Her curious, independent toddler gets into everything. Salt shakers are fiddled with, drinks are spilled. “She’ll color for a little bit or talk with us for a little bit, but it’s short-lived,” Mullaney says. “It’s miserable because all she wants to do is get out.” With the iPhone, however, Tatum sits quietly in the booth while her parents get to enjoy a meal. Mullaney, a marketing manager for a technology company, sometimes wishes they could do without the phone because she doesn’t want people to think they’re using technology to shut their child up, but she also doesn’t want to give up going out. “Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do,” she says. Mullaney is in good company. About 40 percent of 2- to 4-yearolds (and 10 percent of kids younger than that) have used a smartphone, tablet or video iPod, according to a new study by the nonprofit group Common Sense Media. Roughly 1 in 5 parents surveyed said they give their children these devices to keep them occupied while running errands. There are thousands of apps targeted specifically to babies and toddlers interactive games that name body parts, for example, or sing nursery rhymes. It has become commonplace to see little ones flicking through photos on their parents’ phones during church or playing games on a tablet during a bus, train or plane ride. Parents of newborns rave about an app that plays white noise, a womb-like whoosh that lulls screaming babies to sleep. In fact, toymaker Fisher Price has just released a new hard case for the iPhone and iPod touch, framed by a colorful rattle, which

Then she discovered the sheer potential. “The iPad is movies, books and games all wrapped in one nice package,” says Thevenot, who works in the New Orleans tourism industry. The iPad, she says, keeps her 3-year-old son Frankie busy for hours. And, when needed, taking it away “is the greatest punishment. … He loves it that much.” Kaamna Bhojwani-Dhawan is an unapologetic proponent of the trend. “If you’re raising children, you’ve got to raise them with the times,” says Bhojwani-Dhawan, who lives in Silicon Valley and founded the family travel website Momaboard.com. “If adults are going all digital, how can we expect children to be left behind?” Her 2 1/2-year-old, Karam, loves the GoodieWords app, which

explains complex concepts like “shadow” and “electricity.” Other favorites are a memory matching game with farm animals and a drawing program. Bhojwani-Dhawan points out that Karam also has books, crayons and Legos. “It’s not replacing any of these things; it’s one more thing he’s getting exposed to,” she says. Experts say balance is key. “It’s really important that children have a variety of tools to learn from. Technology gadgets can be one of those tools, but they shouldn’t dominate, especially when we’re talking about very young children,” says Cheryl Rode, a clinical psychologist at the San Diego Center for Children, a nonprofit that provides mental health services. “If kids are isolating themselves or if it’s narrowing their range of interest in things everything else is boring those are big red flags,” Rode says. “You want them to have the ability to find lots of different ways to engage themselves.” For public relations consultant Stacey Stark, one red flag was

seeing her 1 1/2-year-old cry if she wasn’t allowed to hold Stark’s iPhone. Little Amalia has dropped the phone, leaving it with a small crack on the back. She has also called a colleague of Stark’s and almost shot off an email to a client. For all those reasons, Stark and her husband have started to cut back on how much they let Amalia and 4-year-old Cecelia use their phones and tablets. “It became an issue. We’re trying to make it go away,” she says. “It was easy for it to become a crutch.” Since scaling back, Stark says, she has seen her daughters engage in more imaginative play. Still, there is a positive side to the technology, Stark says. She thinks Montessori reading and spelling apps have accelerated her older daughter’s learning in those areas. “But,” she adds, “it’s such a delicate balance.” Wake Forest University psychology professor Deborah Best, who specializes in early childhood, agrees that children can benefit from programs that are age-appropriate and designed for

learning. But “interacting with devices certainly does not replace one-onone, face-to-face interaction between children and parents, or children and peers,” Best says. Those interactions, she says, help children learn such skills as reading emotions from facial expressions and taking turns in conversations. Joan McCoy, a bookstore owner and grandmother of five in Seattle, worries that this new generation will lack some of those social skills. When her son and daughterin-law get together with other parents and their kids, they give the children mobile phones to play with, or the children bring along toy computers. “There is absolutely no conversation among them or with their parents. They are glued to the machine,” McCoy says. It’s a different story when the youngsters, ages 2 through 7, are out with their grandmother. McCoy brings along books, sometimes ones with only pictures, and asks the kids what they think is going on and what they would do in a similar situation. “They just talk and they’re excited and they’re engaged,” McCoy says. “They never ask for my cellphone, which is amazing because when we go with the parents, that’s the first thing they ask for.” McCoy acknowledges she has the luxury of being a grandparent and having the time to do these things. “It’s harder. It takes more discipline, it takes more time, and it requires interacting with the child as opposed to the child being entertained on their own,” she says. Eileen Wolter, a writer in New Jersey, readily admits to taking the easier path with her 3- and 6year-old sons: “I’m buying my kids’ silence with an expensive toy.” When her in-laws get together for a family meal, iPhones get passed to five children. The adults talk while the kids play, their contribution to the discussion typically limited to announcing they have cleared another level on a game. When that happens, Wolter starts to think, “Eek!” But then she says to herself, “Yeah, but we had a nice dinner.”

New York polishes City Center Performing arts venue undergoes $56 million renovation NEW YORK (AP) — For one of the oldest major performing arts venues in New York — one that’s hosted many of the world’s premier artists for nearly 70 years — City Center seems to have had something of a self-esteem problem. It seated over 2,700 people in its main theater, but many of those seats were uncomfortable, the sightlines less than desirable. The lobby felt small and crowded. The beautiful vaulted ceiling in the upstairs lobby was dulled with layers of wear and dust. The distinctive neo-Moorish facade, a city landmark, was barely visible from the street because of dark green awnings in front of it. And you couldn’t see the building, located on West 55th Street, from either nearby corner. In short, though it’s only a block from the more famous Carnegie Hall, likely no one ever joked, “How do you get to City Center?” (Practice, practice, practice.) But all this is changing. New York City Center, proudly inaugurated by Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia in 1943, is being reintroduced this week following a renovation to the tune of $56 million. Old layers of paint have been scraped away with razor blades, original color schemes restored. Seats have been ripped out, replaced with plusher, wider models. Better sloping has improved sightlines. Outside, those nondescript green awnings have been removed, replaced by a marquee that shows off the sandstone facade. And hello, selfesteem! Illuminated signs are now visible from Sixth and Seventh avenues in Midtown Manhattan. “This place has been around a long time, and was truly getting a little dreary,” its president and CEO, Arlene Shuler, said in an interview last week as workers around her applied the finishing touches. “People would come here for performances, but not know they were coming to City Center. We felt it was very important to be more competitive in this environment.” The building known now as City Center actually began as a home to the Ancient Arabic Order of the Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, otherwise known as the Shriners. “They’d been using Carnegie Hall as their meeting house, but Carnegie Hall didn’t like all the cigar smoke. So they built their own place a block away,” said the chief architect on the job, Duncan Hazard of Ennead Architects. In 1943, though, the Shriners could no longer keep it and the building was headed for demolition, until LaGuardia and the city council took it over and turned it into an arts center. (It’s still owned by the city, which was the major donor to the capital campaign that paid for the renovation.) At the opening, LaGuardia himself took the baton to conduct the New York Philharmonic in the national anthem. Mayor Michael Bloomberg is scheduled to conduct, as well, at a star-studded reopening Tuesday. City Center was a major home for New York culture for decades early on, as an alternative to Broadway theater, and the original home of New York City Ballet and New York City Opera. When those companies later moved to the newly built Lincoln Center, it

The birth of Gonzo ‘The Rum Diary’ fails to find its voice BY JAKE COYLE AF Film Reviewer

If Batman and the XMen get prequels, why not Hunter S. Thompson? He was certainly a superhero of a kind, just one whose powers mainly consisted of consuming copious amounts of alcohol while still, somehow, churning out wildly colorful, raging dispatches from the road. “The Rum Diary” is based on Thompson’s heavily autobiographical novel by the same name, which he wrote as a 22year-old in the early 1960s after a stint as a newspaper reporter in San Juan, Puerto Rico. It wasn’t published until 1998. Since then, Thompson’s friend Johnny Depp (who also played Thompson in 1998’s “Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas”) has been trying to adapt “The Rum Diary” to the screen. “The Rum Diary” which is dedicated to Thompson, who died in 2005 is essentially a portrait of the Duke as a young journalist. The stand-in for Thompson, the young novelist-reporter Paul Kemp (Depp), is trying to find his way and his writing voice: It’s the birth of Gonzo.

Criminally exaggerated resume in hand, Kemp has gone to Puerto Rico to try his hand as a reporter. He lands a job at the San Juan Star, whose editorin-chief, Lotterman (the excellent Richard Jenkins), is at his wit’s end running a failing, diminishing daily. As he interviews a hung-over Kemp, he quizzes him on what kind of drinker he is, to which Kemp deadpans that he’s at “the upper-end of social.” Kemp is befriended by staff photographer Sala (Michael Rispoli, in a deservedly big part for him), a burly, genial newsman who is nevertheless not once seen with a camera in hand. Kemp moves into Sala’s dilapidated dump of an apartment, which he shares with crime reporter Moberg (Giovanni Ribisi), a hoarse-voiced, overdrugged oddity who listens to Hitler broadcasts and sets some kind of record for caustic reporter-editor relations. Kemp catches the attention of American businessman Sanderson (Aaron Eckhart), a smooth manipulator who is trying to push through an enormous development of a nearby, pristine island

that’s pushing locals out in favor of American investors. Sanderson recruits Kemp to spin the development favorably in the Star. This picture of American corruption of Puerto Rico is one of the more compelling aspects of “The Rum Diary.” A combative atmosphere between poor locals and rich Americans hangs in the air, as do the Navy bombing tests on Vieques. Depp is again in the Caribbean among pirates. Sanderson’s slick, wealthy appeal is tempting to Kemp, who isn’t finding the constricting Star to be an especially noble pursuit, either. Even more alluring is Sanderson’s beautiful fiance Chenault, played by Amber Heard. Kemp immediately falls for her (“Oh God, why did she have to happen?” he mutters after meeting her) and it’s no wonder: Heard is a stunning presence. This builds slowly for Kemp into a moral crisis and, finally, an artistic tipping-point. “I don’t know how to write like me,” he says, but by the end of the film, it’s clear that Kemp/Thompson has found his legs. The guiding principle is a furious dis-

trust of authority (we glimpse him cursing Nixon), and a key ingredient is hallucinogens (we also get an early encounter with LSD). You might expect a tribute such as this to be sycophantic, but director Bruce Robinson (famous for the brilliant cult film “Withnail & I”) keeps a realistic tone. Robinson, who also wrote the screenplay adaptation, doesn’t present the cartoonish Thompson we’ve come to expect. It’s a refreshing, grounded view of the writer. Depp, at this point, would seem to not be aging. This more low-key performance as a Thompson alter-ego feels truer than the manic derangement of “Fear and Loathing,” but the role is also lacking yearning and real energy. Thompson went on to find his voice, but “The Rum Diary,” entertaining and well-intended, comes just shy of discovering its own. “The Rum Diary,” a FilmDistrict release, is rated R for language, brief drug use and sexuality. Running time: 120 minutes. Two and a half stars out of four.

Depp channels pal Thompson ‘The Rum Diary’ actor’s 2nd chance to play author BY DAVID GERMAIN Associated Press LOS ANGELES (AP) — Johnny Depp vividly recalls the first time he met Hunter S. Thompson, sparks flying as the author parted a bar crowd with a cattle prod and a Taser. Seventeen years later, Depp is making good on one of his close friend’s last wishes, producing and starring in a film adaptation of Thompson’s “The Rum Diary,” written in the early 1960s but not published until Depp stumbled on the manuscript a quarter-century after. Depp and Thompson, who died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound in 2005, bonded instantly at that first meeting in 1994, when the actor was spending Christmas in Aspen, Colo., near the author’s home. A fan of Thompson’s since reading the gonzo journalist’s “Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas” in his late teens, Depp jumped at the chance when a mutual friend asked if he wanted to meet him. Depp was told to turn up at the tavern at midnight. Soon after, Thompson entered brandishing his cattle prod and Taser.

“People were hurling their bodies, leaping out of the way to try and save themselves from this maniac,” Depp said in an interview. “Then he made his way to me. The sparks had died down, he just walked right up to me and put his hand out and said, ‘How do you do? My name is Hunter.’” Thompson and Depp quickly discovered they both were born in Kentucky and shared many literary heroes, among them Ernest Hemingway and Nathaniel West. Around 2:30 that morning, they were at Thompson’s house, where Depp admired a nickel-plated shotgun on the wall. “‘Would you like to fire it?’” Depp recalled Thompson saying. “I said, ‘Yeah. Great, man.’ He says, ‘All right, great. We must build bombs.’ So we built bombs in his sink out of propane tanks and nitroglycerin. Then we took them out back and he said, ‘All right, you get first crack.’ So I leveled that 12-gauge and I blew it up 80-foot fireball. “I think that was my kind of rite of passage with Hunter. I think that was my test that I was OK.” Depp went on to play

Thompson’s alter ego in the 1998 movie adaptation of “Fear and Loathing.” While preparing for that role, Depp spent time in the basement of Thompson’s home, sorting through boxes of “Fear and Loathing” artifacts “cherry stems and cocktail napkins and all these weird notations, and photographs of monkeys. Who knew what was in there?” Depp recalled. Then he opened another box and found a manuscript titled “The Rum Diary” in red letters. He figured Thompson had not looked at it since writing it decades earlier, the story based on the author’s experiences as a young reporter in Puerto Rico. Sitting cross-legged on the floor, Depp and Thompson passed pages back and forth. Within about half an hour, Depp had persuaded Thompson to publish the novel. In

return, Thompson insisted they should do a film version. They developed the project together for years, and Depp became even more committed to bringing the story to the screen after Thompson killed himself amid assorted maladies and declining health. “There’s nothing more delightful than to see an actor play a role that he puts everything into,” said Graham King, a producer on “The Rum Diary.” “I’m not saying he doesn’t put everything into every movie, but this was different. This was something that was so close to his heart. It wasn’t a gig. It wasn’t a job for him.” “Johnny is Hunter in many ways. Hunter set out to do something that no one else had done before, and I feel like Johnny does that in many things,” said co-star Amber Heard. 2230113

SUNDAY CROSSWORD

NO TROUBLE AT ALL

In this book cover image released by Viking, "Pauline Kael: A Life in the Dark," by Brian Kellow, is shown.

AP PHO TO/VIK ING

Book recalls film critic with relish BY DOUGLASS K. DANIEL AP Book Reviewer “Pauline Kael: A Life in the Dark” (Viking), by Brian Kellow: Film critic Pauline Kael could be as brilliant and maddening in person as she was in the pages of The New Yorker, whether you were a filmmaker who failed to meet her standards or an acolyte who dared to disagree with her judgment. Movies, after all, were her life. Some considered Kael an irresponsible bully and an opportunistic writer who could be far too chummy with filmmakers. Others found her friendly, gregarious and bawdy, though hardly faultless, sometimes boorish but never boring. She reveled in such attention and devoted herself to earning it. In “Pauline Kael: A Life in the Dark,” author Brian Kellow offers a making-of story as engaging as her criticism. It’s no easy feat what’s less dramatic than scribbling into the night? but Kellow tapped her friends and foes and her writing while developing a colorful, evenhanded appreciation of one of film’s most influential critics. Her first movie review appeared in 1952. Kael was 33, a single woman in San Francisco struggling to raise an out-of-wedlock daughter and getting nowhere in a series of jobs and with her fiction writing. Marrying the owner of a repertory theater would give her a reliable platform to write about film, even if only for programming notes. The arrangement appeared more about Kael gaining financial traction

than love. Similar decisions by Kael focused on getting ahead. Writing bold essays taking a contrarian view was one strategy; attacking fellow critics was another. At times she was accused of getting her facts wrong and faking a technical or business knowledge of filmmaking to make a point. She apparently based her controversial 1971 essay on “Citizen Kane” on research she failed to credit “stole” might be the proper word. A literate style driven by passionate opinions and punctuated with cutting, crude remarks was central to her appeal. (Director Billy Wilder’s comedy “One, Two, Three,” she wrote, “pulls out laughs the way a catheter draws urine.”) She could overly praise movies, too, like “Last Tango in Paris” (“a landmark in movie history”), and she practically wet-nursed directors like Robert Altman and Brian De Palma when she believed they were misunderstood by other critics or abused by the studios. Reading about Kael she retired as a regular reviewer in 1991 and died in 2001 will no doubt rekindle interest in her work. Right on cue comes “The Age of Movies: Selected Writings of Pauline Kael” (Library of America). It’s a grand collection of her more challenging, provocative and argument-inducing views, and a perfect companion to Kellow’s eye-opening biography. Douglass K. Daniel is the author of “Tough as Nails: The Life and Films of Richard Brooks” (University of Wisconsin Press).

New bio in time for Dickens’ bicentennial BY ANN LEVIN AP Book Reviewer “Charles Dickens: A Life” (The Penguin Press), by Claire Tomalin: Charles Dickens published his first story in a London monthly at age 22. Although he wasn’t paid and it appeared without his name, he was so overcome with joy and pride it took him half an hour to recover. When he died of a stroke 36 years later, he had earned a fortune many times over and had been hailed as the greatest novelist of the 19th century. The story of how Dickens rose to such heights from a modest background, forced to leave school at 15 by his parents, who could no longer afford the fees, is no less epic than his sprawling novels. Now, a splendid history by the noted English biographer and journalist Claire

AP PHOTO/THE PENGUIN PRESS

In this book cover image released by The Penguin Press, “Charles Dickens: A Life,” by Claire Tomalin, is shown. Tomalin has been published, just months before the bicentennial of Dickens’ Feb. 7, 1812, birth. It is a tale of two Dickens: the tenderhearted social critic with a soft spot for prostitutes, orphans and the disabled,

and the raging egomaniac, who dumped the wife who bore him 10 children because she was fat and dull and he had fallen hard for an actress, Nelly Ternan, 27 years his junior. Scholarly but accessible, the book vividly conjures the idyllic countryside outside London, where Dickens spent his boyhood, and then the sooty districts of the rapidly industrializing city, where he set himself on the path to becoming a writer. Tomalin skillfully presents the chief trauma of Dickens’ young life being sent to work in a factory at age 12, after his father was imprisoned for debt and suggests the ways it left a lasting mark, from his sympathy for the working class to his towering ambition and Herculean work ethic. Though Tomalin, whose previous work

includes a prize-winning biography of Ternan, rightly celebrates Dickens’ genius, she is cleareyed about his faults, as a writer and a human being. She quotes his daughter Katey: “He was not a good man … but he was wonderful!” Among his sins, the creator of Tiny Tim and Little Nell neglected his own children. Of the 10, only two forged anything like an independent path to success. It didn’t much matter; Dickens knew what his legacy would be. His will stipulates no memorial. “I rest my claims to the remembrance of my country upon my published works,” he wrote. And he was right to do so. Ebenezer Scrooge, Oliver Twist, the Artful Dodger, Fagin these and so many other unforgettable characters he created will live forever in our imagination.

MORTGAGE WATCH

Rates on 30-year mortgages falls WASHINGTON (AP) — The average rate on the 30-year fixed mortgage was nearly unchanged for a second straight week after rising from a record low. Freddie Mac said Thursday that the rate on the 30-year loan fell to 4.10 percent from 4.11 percent last week. Three weeks ago, it dropped to 3.94 percent. The National Bureau of Economic Research says that’s the lowest rate ever. The average rate on the 15-year fixed mortgage was unchanged at 3.38 percent. Three weeks ago, it hit a record low of 3.26 percent. Low rates have done little to jolt the struggling housing market. Sales remain depressed, and home prices are still dropping in many markets. High unemployment and declining wages have made it harder for many people to qualify for loans. Most of those who can afford to refinance already have. The number of Americans who bought previously occupied homes fell in September and is on pace to match last year’s dismal figures.

Winter bedding ensembles show imagination BY MARY CAROL GARRITY Scripps Howard News Service In the summer, I like my bed lightly dressed. But when the weather cools off, I love a bed layered in rich colors, fetching patterns and touchable textures. Here are some irresistible bedding ensembles: • Black and White and Chic All Over: This bed creates a DMZ in the battle of the sexes. The strong yet simple color palette of black and white appeals to the guys, as does the combination of traditional menswear fabrics, like the bold plaid and hound’s tooth check. But it can go female-friendly by including a romantic paisley and kitten-soft gray velvet pillows. • Pea Green with Envy: Earthy yet luxurious, this bedding ensemble mixes different shades of green with wild abandon. Mother Nature tosses all manner of greens together, and so can you. A soft and romantic dust ruffle finishes the bed perfectly. • Plum Perfect Purple:

This bed creates a DMZ in the battle of the sexes. The strong yet simple color palette of black and white appeals also to guys. Color trends in interior design closely follow those in the fashion world, so it’s no surprise that purple is coming on strong. Mix an invigorating blend of colors and patterns that shows off a sublime palette of plum and blue. By using some ready-

made bedding, such as a purple quilt and shams, you can stretch your decorating dollar to have enough left to invest in a few show-stealing pieces, like luxury sheets, reversible duvets or custom pillows finished with unique details.

• Sugar and Spice and Everything Nice: This bed features a feather-soft palette of winter blue and soft brown. Thanks to bold patterns, it’s anything but boring. Layer two reversible

Boost garden’s bounty in the offseason BY JOE LAMP’L Scripps Howard News Service We all anticipate changing seasons — eagerly for spring and grudgingly for winter. I don’t know any gardeners who don’t want to boost their garden’s bounty in the too-little time between. Here are a few tricks and techniques for extending the garden season. It all starts with planning. • Know your garden’s microclimates. Keep a record of weather, temperature and other conditions around the garden. Make note of planting areas near heatabsorbing stone and brick walls; those shielded from harsh winds; those that get a lot of sun and others that are shaded; low areas where cold air and frost can settle; and places that are wet or dry. • Select the right plants. Choose vegetables that grow best in your general climate, and then look for varieties that tolerate or even thrive in your individual conditions. Try different vegetables in different areas, and keep a record of successes or

In a raised bed, the soil will be protected from compaction, remain loose and well drained and can be individually fertilized and watered to the plants needs. problems. • Succession plant and interplant. Sow seeds together with seedlings started earlier indoors. The more mature plants will be ready first. Then reseed periodically: radishes and spinach once a week, lettuce, beets, carrots and beans every two weeks, cucumbers once a month. Keep

up the cycle until newly planted seeds aren’t sprouting well. • In the same row or area, interplant varieties that mature at different rates. If the weather turns hot, some varieties will stop growing, others keep producing. Replace spring crops with summer species and summer crops with those that love

the fall weather. Keep the soil continuously productive! • Rotate in raised beds. A raised bed can be as simple as a mound of soil or a fancy permanent stone, timber or even brick box in any comfortable size. The soil will be protected from compaction, remain loose and well drained and can be individually fertilized and watered to the plants’ needs. It drains faster and warms sooner than surrounding soil, so you can work it several weeks earlier. • Plan yearly crop rotations that move plants of the same family to different beds. Rotated crops are more resistant to disease, pests and soil deficiencies. Alternate other crops with legumes, like peas and beans that fix nitrogen and help replenish the soil. — Beware of early and late frosts. Know your area’s average first and last frost dates, and be ready a couple of weeks earlier. Drape floating row covers, “space blankets,” even old sheets or quilts to cover plants when nighttime temperatures will drop below freezing. Use PVC pipe, rebar or wire to make

support frames to keep the material from breaking the plants. Seal the edges to the soil with landscape staples or stones to keep the heat in. Remove the material on warm sunny days to release excess heat. These supports will also hold shade material to protect delicate plants like lettuce from hot summer sun. • Create a cold frame. Construct a bottomless box using wood, blocks, even hay bales, and cover the top with an old window, shower door or stiff plastic panel sloped to the south to collect sunshine. For even more solar heat gain, line the north wall with water-filled, black-painted plastic milk jugs or soda bottles. They’ll absorb heat during the day and release it into the cold frame at night. With a good cold frame, you can harvest cool season vegetables through fall and, depending on your climate zone, even into early winter. Joe Lamp’l, host of “Growing a Greener World” on PBS, is a Master Gardener and author.

Study hardwood flooring options before buying the flooring, the price might vary greatly with different installation scenarios. Will the wood be floated? Will it be glued to cement? Is a subfloor needed? Moisture protection might be needed in some instances. If you live in a condominium, soundproof subflooring usually is required. The labor is usually the most expensive part of the deal. Other price increases might include removing carpet or moving furniture. Rick Menger, president of Vintage Floors and

Interiors in Hollywood, Fla., offers this advice for dealing with companies offering competitive pricing: • Expect limited selection. • Expect work that is average to good, at best. • Don’t expect attention to every detail. You will find imperfections. • Expect the price to go up dramatically if the job presents any unforeseen challenge. • Plan to take on some of the prep work and cleanup. Don’t expect “white glove” service.

If installing new hardwood floors is on the list of things you’d like to do around the house before the holidays, you are probably looking for some great deals. If so, here are some things to expect, and to consider. The ad barrage is constant — in the newspapers, tabloid inserts and television spots boasting of real deals on wood flooring. Are they really deals? Are they

just a tease to get you in the store? There actually are some pretty good deals available and with the economy being what it is and jobs being scarce, contractors are willing to do work at lower prices. That’s good news for consumers. But as always, you get what you pay for. With an ad for wood flooring, check to see if the price includes installation. If so, does it include all the materials, such as glue, staples, nails? What about the finishing trim? When you actually go to purchase

Plant garlic in fall for well-rooted bulb come spring BY MAUREEN GILMER Scripps Howard News Service In 1994, Norwegian scientists sought to determine once and for all whether garlic did indeed repel vampires. Because no vampires offered to participate in the study, the scientists used leeches. After all, both consume blood. In the lab, they smeared a human volunteerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s arm with fresh garlic and left the other arm clean. Leeches were released and timed to see which arm they locked onto quicker. Results showed leeches attached to the garlic arm in 14 seconds. They dillydallied for 44.9 seconds before latching onto the clean arm to feed. This goes against everything weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve heard about vampires avoiding garlic. Apparently, they love it. If you want to attract vampires or just enjoy the extraordinary flavor of fresh garlic, plan to grow the bulb in your garden. A garlic bulb is comprised of a many individual cloves. Each

SCRIPPS HOWARD NEWS SERVICE PHOTO COURTESY OF MAUREEN GILMER

Freshly dug garlic must be cured to ensure it dries and stores for a long time without losing flavor. clove is the seed of a new plant. You can take a supermarket garlic bulb, divide it up and plant each of the cloves. But garlic lovers will prefer to explore the many unique gourmet varieties developed by cultures around the world and found in online catalogs. The autumnal equinox is the

traditional farmerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s date for planting garlic. This allows enough time for roots to develop on each clove before winter sets in. Well-rooted garlic is far more vigorous come spring, with the new bulb maturing over summer. Fall is also time to dig up last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s garlic bulbs to store over

winter. If you fail to dig them up, each clove will sprout the following season, but such close proximity would not yield edible bulbs. To get started, GourmetGarlicGardens.com is a highly useful website that lays out the details of growing garlic in an easy-to-understand way. It offers a virtual primer on growing organic garlic, starting with the simple differences between easier-to-grow soft-neck varieties and unusual hard-neck types. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll learn how to plant and tend your garlic. The website details when garlic is ripe for harvest. Most valuable are instructions on how to cure garlic just after it digging it up, and how to store the bulbs so they last for a long time. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an art to curing the bulbs for weeks to ensure that they reach peak flavor. The Territorial Seed Co. offers a great selection of gourmet garlic in its online catalog (TerritorialSeed.com). I appreciate the nice color photos and

the generous write-up on the unique qualities and flavor of the cultivars, many of which are organically grown. The company also produces a nice free print catalog. Order it by phoning 800-626-0866. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t overlook garlicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s green leaves, which in spring can be minced to subtly flavor foods. And when you learn to braid your cured garlic, it becomes an excellent holiday gift straight from your garden. But donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget the risks to growing garlic, including the scientifically proven supernatural attraction to vampires. Those who grow and consume this â&#x20AC;&#x153;stinking roseâ&#x20AC;? must be aware that they will become more appealing victims. So if you live in Bon Temps, La., or upon the misty coast of Washington state, beware of fanged characters lurking around your garlic-scented garden just after sunset.

I had four applications within a week.” Those on the “lower end sit for a couple of months,” she added. Check whether your state regulates property managers. Most property managers are reliable, and many are also licensed Realtors.

property and pocketing the cash. Check your prospective property manager’s experience, education background, references and involvement with professional associations, Rinaldi recommended. Clarify what you want a property manager to do. “Sometimes, like for an absentee owner, a property manager is the end-all, be-all point person, handling all background checks, accepting payment, being the person called when a toilet backs up in the middle of the night,” said St. Petersburg Realtor Tami Simms. “You also have some owners who will get a home warranty plan, so the tenant makes the work calls and gets the work done.” Or the renters may send checks directly to the owner; the property

manager has only been hired to market the property and the tenant deals specifically with the owner, Simms said. Some owners may have multiple properties and just want a third party between them and their tenants. The property manager does all of the screenings, rent collections and even keeps the home furnished, if needed. Some owners don’t like the idea of strangers living in their home. The economy may have forced them to rent, but they want to remain actively involved. They want contact. “They know how the sprinkler system works, how the washerdryer works,” Simms said. “They want to know and have a relationship with the people living in their home.”
