Historic low for Americans on the move
3M powerless after snow hits
WASHINGTON (AP) — Americans are staying put more than at any time since World War II as the housing bust and unemployment keep young adults at home and thwart older people’s plans for a beachfront or lakeside retirement. New information from the Census Bureau is the latest indicator of economic trouble after earlier signs that mobility was back on the upswing. It’s also a shift from America’s long-standing cultural image of ever-changing fron-
tiers, dating to the westward migration of the 1800s and more recently in the spreading out of whites, blacks and Hispanics in the Sun Belt’s housing boom. Rather than housing magnets such as Arizona, Florida and Nevada, it is now more traditional, densely populated states California, Illinois, Massachusetts, New York and New Jersey that are showing some of the biggest population gains in the recent economic slump, according to the data released Thursday.
Residents have been largely locked in place. Families are stuck in devalued homes and young adults are living with parents or staying put in the towns where they went to college. “The fact that mobility is crashing is something that I think is quite devastating,” said Richard Florida, an urban theorist and professor at the University of Toronto’s Rotman School of Management. He described America’s residential movement as an important element of its eco-
nomic resilience and history, from development of the nation’s farmland in the Midwest to its coastal ports and homesteading in the West. “The latest decline shows we are in a long-run economic reset and that we never really recovered we’ve just been stagnating along,” Florida said. About 11.6 percent of the nation’s population, or 35.1 million, moved to a new home in the
When winter’s white mixes with autumn’s orange and gold, nature gets ugly. A freak October nor’easter knocked out power to more than 3 million homes and businesses across the Northeast on Sunday in large part because leaves still on the trees caught more snow, overloading branches that snapped and wreaked havoc. Close to 2 feet of snow fell in some areas over the weekend, and it was particularly wet and heavy, making the storm even more damaging. “You just have absolute tree carnage with this heavy snow just straining the branches,” said National Weather Service spokesman Chris Vaccaro.

Farm offers reign of hope The horses at Refuge Farms sanctuary stand in the barn with empty eye sockets, scars cut by barbed wire halters and the ribs of starvation sticking from their sides. But there’s a reason the visiting students in Lavonne Solem’s Menomonie Senior High School special education class think these horses are beautiful. Matt McClelland, 17, who struggles with learning issues, told Solem the reason after his class visited Refuge Farms. “The horses are like us.They need hope, too.” Hope for humans and horses is a specialty of Refuge Farms. It rode into this 20-acre ranch near Eau Claire in 1993 along with Sandy Gilbert, 57, a native of Duluth, Minn., and former CEO who abandoned her career to save unwanted horses. See Page 5.

Tipp City resident David Watkins said he has had his fair share of jobs in the past, but has finally landed in something that he is making his own — and making him happy. Watkins said he knows who he is, knows his talents and is happy with all of it. “Artfully working in wood,” is his slogan as a wood carver. From Brutus the Buckeye to creatures of the water, land and sky, Watkins crafts anything he can imagine in his own head and others’ from wood. “It’s kind of doing something not many people can do,” Watkins said. “It’s just something that I have been blessed with.” A Troy native and Troy High School graduate, Watkins said he has always had an interest in art from the beginning of his school days. “I went to Van Cleve and they had a good art department,” Watkins

Twenty-six years ago, Watkins made a move to Tipp City and it was at that time he made “the starving artist decision” and began his company Masterpiece Concepts. “When I first started out I started in the Roller Mill,” Watkins said. “I was there for about seven years and left for a year. I came back and this place opened up. It was kind of like I never left.” Watkins, the father of Joshua and Brandy, and grandfather of five, carves pretty much anything that is requested of him. He carves people,

eagles, bears, signs, fish and log furniture, among other things. Included in some of his favorite pieces are a 300-pound Brutus and a set of nude pieces he has carved in the past. He said there is something different about the work that he does compared to other chainsaw artists. “My stuff differs from other chainsaw carvers because I finish my stuff out,” Watkins said. He said once the larger, extra wood is gone, he will go in with chisels, grinders and other tools to incorporate small details to make each piece unique, special and exceptionally finished. An example of his specialty work

Although the Miami County Board of Elections had it listed as a replacement levy, the Bethel Fire and Township Emergency Medical Services levy actually is a renewal. “ T h e wording was not caught during proofing,” said Deputy Director Pamela Calendine, “There will be signs posted at the ballot boxes informing voters of the change.” The 2-mill levy is one of three sources of funding for the fire and EMS department and generates approximately $242,000. The other two sources are a continual or permanent 1.5 mill levy and EMS billing. The EMS department does a soft bill, which means if insurance won’t pay for a resident’s EMS run, the township absorbs the cost. One of the major programs the 2-mill renewal levy funds is the night time bonus program. Two years ago, the department was always staffed during the day, but managed by volunteers only at night. If a call came, the volunteer would have to come to the station first, get the equipment and vehicle and then go out on the run. In February 2009, the department instituted a bonus program where the

MIAMI COUNTY five years. “The levy is a major part of our budget and we are very much in need of it. We hope that it will be seen as a good use for the money,” said Dr. John Kronour, superintendent of the Tipp City School District. The levy renewal comes before voters after a $1.3 million cut in funding from the state. “We’ve tried to deal with
cuts without going to the voters,” Kronour said. This has meant a district wide wage freeze, a reduction in staff through attrition (not replacing employees who retire or resign) and the institution of a payto-play system. The 9.61-mill levy for Tipp City Schools will generate $3.6 million, which would cost the owner of a $100,000 home approximately $294 a year. The levy
would provide funding for educational programs, employee salaries and other operational costs. “Failure to pass this levy would be a major cut to the district,” Kronour said. The district will face another round of cuts in state funds in 2013 of $312,500, one of the largest reductions faced by any district in the county. This is because Tipp City is considered a high wealth/low poverty district,
requiring the schools to rely on local support. Milton-Union The Milton-Union levy was originally passed in 1992 and has been in place for nearly 20 years. The 17mill levy looks staggering, but Superintendent Virginia Rammel said the large number reflects the rate of inflation since the levy was first passed.

runners would still be paid hourly per call, but also receive $50 per night spent at the station. That brought in several volunteers to stay at the station versus in their homes, making a total of four at the station at night. This cut down drastically on response time. “This is the biggest thing we’ve done,” said Township Administrator Mike Gebhart, “When you call us at night, we’re there substantially quicker than we were in the past. We’ve really stepped up our game.” According to statistics, the medic and engine response times have almost been cut in half. Even though each time is just a couple minutes shorter, Chief David Stitzel said those minutes make all the difference. “That (extra time) is huge when you’re talking about people’s lives,” he said. Stitzel and Gebhart feel this bonus program is cost effective as well. In a presentation to the Bethel Township Trustees, they showed that New Carlisle spends on average $9,360 a month to keep two part-time people in the fire station at night. If New Carlisle jumped up to four people at the station at nighttime, the cost would go to $18,720 a month. Whereas Bethel right now

averages $5,919 a month to keep its night time covered. Another change occured this year. The department repositioned the staffing schedule so that every night there are two paramedics, two emergency medical technicians and one of those is at least a lieutenant. That way, the group can cover two calls at once and there is no question as to chain of command or seniority. Stizel and Gebhart point out they try to get funds from other areas aside from just the levy. The department has applied for and received grants from Ohio EMS, Department of Natural Resources and Department of Public Safety. The latest one from ODNR gave Bethel fire 10 new radios so they can now operate on one dispatch system instead of the two they were going back and forth between (think of a DVD and VCR). The township is trying to save money in other ways as well. They switched electric providers, installed covers over the thermostat in the fire station and make group purchases for supplies between the adminstration and fire departments. “We try to get the most out of every dollar that we can get,” Gebhart said.
Levies • CONTINUED FROM A1 8.6 mill levy, about $1.6 million annually. The money raised by the levy would be used for classroom supplies, employees’ salaries and benefits, fuel expenses and utilities and other maintenance. As a result of a $900,000 budget cut from the state, Milton-Union has had to eliminate administrative, teaching and non-teaching positions, as well as institute a wage freeze. “We are doing our best to live within our
budget,” Rammel said. The district spends the least amount of dollars per student in the county and was recently recognized by the U.S. Department of Education for attaining high student achievement at low cost, Rammel said. Milton-Union receives the second lowest amount of local revenue per pupil in the county at $3,930 per pupil. Local revenue accounts for 46 percent of the total operating budget, with the remaining money coming from state and federal aid.

He said there is one difficult aspect about his job as a carver. “Subtractive sculpture is kind of difficult because once something is gone, it’s gone,” Watkins said.

Bureau has tracked information on moves, dating to 1948. The share of people moving has been declining for decades, due in part to increases in two-income families that are more tied down by jobs and to an aging population that is less mobile. The peak for U.S. mobility came in 1951, when it hit 21.2 percent. The rate had leveled off at around 13 percent before falling off notably in 2008 during the recession. Among young adults 25 to 29, the most mobile age group, moves fell to 24.1 percent from 25.9 percent in the previous year. Longer-distance moves, typically for those seeking new careers in other regions of the country, remained largely flat at 3.4 percent. The biggest drop-off occurred in local moves, down to 15.4 percent from 17.7 percent in 2010. It’s a sign that young adults in
the prolonged slump weren’t even willing to venture outside their counties, continuing instead to live with relatives or on college campuses. People most often cite a desire to live in a new home as the main reason for moving, as well as reasons of family or economy such as marriage or a new job. But analysts say with many young adults delaying marriage while struggling to find employment and aging baby boomers expressing financial worries about retirement, the current mobility freeze could continue for several more years. An Associated PressLifeGoesStrong.com poll this month found that more than half of baby boomers born between 1946 and 1964 say they are unlikely to move somewhere new in retirement; about 4 in 10 say they are very likely to stay in their current home throughout all of their retirement.

EDITORIAL ROUNDUP The New York Times on Iraq troop withdrawal: President Barack Obama’s announcement that the last American soldier will leave Iraq by year’s end signals a welcome end to a war that was started under false pretenses and went on far too long — killing more than 4,400 Americans and many more thousands of Iraqis and costing $1 trillion over nearly nine years. When Obama took office, there were about 142,000 Americans fighting in Iraq. The president deserves credit for fulfilling his campaign promise to bring the conflict to a close. Obama had wanted to leave several thousand troops behind, for a while longer, to keep training Iraqi forces and to help Iraq’s democratically elected but deeply flawed government maintain security. But the Iraqis couldn’t make up their minds, and the debate in Baghdad was growing increasingly bitter. With a Dec. 31 deadline for a full withdrawal — negotiated by President George W. Bush — approaching, Obama decided the best thing to do was to bring all the troops home.

The Oregonian, Portland, on mortgage relief: … Unlike his Home Affordable Refinance Program that failed to garner widespread participation owing to unaccountable complexity, President Barack Obama’s new initiative eliminates homeowner fees associated with refinancing, removes squirrelly income requirements, provides loans at rock-bottom prices and reduces risk for the banks involved. Significantly, the new program makes it more profitable for banks to modify a mortgage than to foreclose on a home — an incentive that by itself might ensure success. Obama’s initiative requires nothing from a deadlocked Congress, and it can only be called a positive step forward: Up to 1 million Americans could benefit, keeping people in their homes and sparing them the pain and uncertainty of carrying overwhelming debt. But it is not enough. HARP, launched in 2009, was to have benefited 5 million borrowers but reached fewer than 1 million, only a fraction of them seriously “underwater.” Indeed, of the $30 billion approved by Congress for it, only about $4 billion was tapped. There is just too much catching up to do before mortgage reform as constituted now could exert positive effects in an economy that depends upon secure consumers willing to spend … if the administration is to take a lesson away from its handling so far of the economic crisis, and with it a collapsed housing market, it is that doing too little too late exerts harm of its own.

Please support the mental health levy To the Editor: I have been involved in public mental health for over 35 years, and in that time I have seen first hand the benefits of treatment and support for people dealing with mental health and recovery issues. Our community support system is funded in a variety of ways, but the most critical part is the local levy, which allows our system to leverage dollars from other sources. Without the levy, we would experience a dramatic loss of income, which will compromise the entire system here in the tri-county area. The levy vote coming up on Nov. 8 is for a renewal, which will not raise taxes. I urge you to vote yes with me in favor of renewing the Mental Health and Recovery levy on election day. — John Jung Troy To the Editor: On Nov. 8, the residents of Darke, Miami and Shelby counties will be asked to renew the Mental Health and Recovery Services Levy. The renewal of this levy will not increase your taxes. This levy was first approved by voters of the three counties in 1973 and continues to be a critical part of assuring that vital mental health and recovery services are available locally. The 0.6 mill levy renewal levy will cost the owner of a $100,000 home about $15 dollars per year. The Mental Health and Recovery Services levy supports counseling, case management, hospital beds, medications, housing, crisis services, SafeHaven and other critical services to children, families

Lyin’ and tired and bearing: They are all mine Small government may be the best idea anyone ever had. Throughout this year, angry citizens in other countries have been disposing of dictators and other assorted bad leaders because of the ever-present visage of Big Brother and Big Brother’s torturemongers. No one can argue small government doesn’t sound great on paper. Smaller government should equal fewer laws, which should equal less necessary law enforcement which should equal lower enforcement costs which should equal a less-taxed populace which should equal a happier populace. Although the syntax is a little shaky, the premise is sound. But you just know it’s all too good to be true. Small government works only if that less-taxed happier populace is self-realized enough to take responsibility for their own actions. Then the equation could simply read “personal responsibility equals no big government.” (Feel free to insert a smiley face or your own favorite expression of bliss.) The events in Zanesville two weeks ago serve as empiric proof
Marla Boone Troy Daily News Columnist we have not yet achieved a particularly self-realized citizenry. Apparently it isn’t, but it should be evident that having 18 tigers and eight lions in your back yard falls somewhere short of being a good idea, especially if you are in prison and can’t be a hands-on private zoo keeper. And where, exactly, does a person even buy a giraffe? Former Governor Ted Strickland signed an executive order forbidding anyone convicted of animal cruelty to own wild animals (and I think for the sake of this argument we can call lions and tigers and bears, oh my, wild animals). The order also required anyone keeping exotic animals to register with the state. When John Kasich became governor he
allowed the previous law to lapse and formed his own Wild Animal Task Force. The task force hadn’t gotten around to forcing anything, but Kasich has made up for lost time by signing new laws just as quickly as the cameras can be set up and focused. Strickland’s law didn’t seem to be doing any good, because the recently deceased animal owner had indeed been convicted of animal cruelty in 2005. Kasich’s law appears to have a little more bite (sorry, couldn’t resist) to it, but it still needs to be enforced. All this legal scurrying around poses the question: if having too many laws isn’t effective and having too few laws isn’t effective, where do we go from here? My opinion about having eighteen tigers in your back yard is the same as my opinion on the OctoMom. Just because you can do something idiotic doesn’t mean you should do something idiotic. Just because it is legal to house dozens of wild animals on your property, shouldn’t the very idea give a rational person pause? Just because you are able to find a doctor willing to implant 12 embryos into your uterus even
though you are an unmarried, unemployed mother of six, shouldn’t the very idea incline a rational person to stop and think, “What’ll I do when the money from Inside Edition runs out?” The physician is losing his license. Too bad there isn’t a parenting license the state could revoke. It’s not the perpetrators who bear most of the burden, of course. Terry Thompson killed himself before releasing all those animals. What did he think was going to happen to them? Except for the monkey that got itself eaten by a lion, all but six of the animals were gunned down by law enforcement personnel who were reportedly appalled at the task. At least let’s hope they were appalled because the rest of us certainly were. And what is the fate of those 14 kids in California whose life will continue to be a fish bowl until they are displaced by the next round of indefensible behavior? Unfortunately, there ought to be a law.

• Elizabeth Winship MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — A Boston Globe writer whose syndicated “Ask Beth” column enabled teenagers and parents to get frank and detailed advice on how to deal with sexuality in the 1960s and 1970s has died. Elizabeth Winship was 90. Her son, Larry Winship, told The Associated Press Friday she died of natural causes Sunday at Rosewood Estates, an assisted-living facility in Roseville, Minn. The Globe says Winship wrote “Ask Beth” for 35 years. She was the widow of longtime Globe editor Thomas Winship. The column, described by one daughter as the first “to treat young people with complete respect and honesty,” was once syndicated to 70 newspapers. Winship is survived by five children. She moved to Minnesota a few years ago to be closer to two.

SPRING VALLEY, Wis. (AP) — The horses at Refuge Farms sanctuary stand in the barn with empty eye sockets, scars cut by barbed wire halters and the ribs of starvation sticking from their sides. But there’s a reason the visiting students in Lavonne Solem’s Menomonie Senior High School special education class think these horses are beautiful. Matt McClelland, 17, who struggles with learning issues, told Solem the reason after his class visited Refuge Farms. “The horses are like us. They need hope, too.” Hope for humans and horses is a specialty of Refuge Farms. It rode into this 20-acre ranch near Eau Claire in 1993 along with Sandy Gilbert, 57, a native of Duluth, Minn., and former CEO who abandoned her career to save unwanted horses. She founded the extraordinary rescue in 1999 as a national horse sanctuary specializing in saving the “diers” horses that are old, diseased, severely abused. Most rescues in the United States will not take “diers” like the horses at Refuge Farms. “If there’s not a cost-effective treatment with a reasonable prognosis, most will ask to have the animal euthanized,” says Julia Wilson, a veterinarian and president of Turner Wilson Equine Consulting in Minnesota. “Sandy is indeed unique in that she’s willing to give every animal a chance, even if the prognosis is grave.” Gilbert describes the mission of Refuge Farms: “We give medical treatment to horses who need help from humans or tractors to get up when they lay down. So we take them in knowing we can’t ‘do’ anything with them. Except love them.” More than 800 of these unwanted animals have found new lives through Refuge Farms. And when you watch the kids in Solem’s class hug the 2,000pound horses, comb burrs out of their tails and whisper secrets in their ears, you learn that hope is a commodity that can be shared between species. “The kids come here and learn that we all have disabilities, that everyone and everything deserves a chance to survive,” Solem says. ‘Horse magic’ Gilbert rescues the horses, and the horses rescue humans in return, giving back confidence, courage, and a calm that Gilbert describes as “horse magic.” She counts herself among the rescued at Refuge Farms. The sanctuary is “another life” for Gilbert, who, after helping a friend save an unwanted horse, says she did “a 180-turn in my life.” Gilbert escaped an abusive relationship after she suffered a fractured skull and jaw. Her connection with the battered horses she cares for is personal. “I know what it feels like to be beat up,” she says. As a tech industry CEO, Gilbert always flew first class. Now she lives in a faded farmhouse where a plastic tarp attempts to cover the holes in the roof. “I can’t justify spending $7,000 on a new roof when I know how many lives that money could save,” she says. Gilbert makes three

Report the situation to child welfare authorities
Today: 5 p.m.: Community Bulletin Board 7:30 p.m.: INN News 9 p.m.: Around Troy
Dear Annie: We live in a large townhouse complex with people from many different backgrounds. For some time, several of the residents have been talking about a young boy who lives here. The mother, whose husband openly disparages her (and has little respect for women in general), told me her son is routinely exposed to pornography. She said her husband's father took him to a prostitute when he was 12 years old. The husband, apparently, is planning to do the same with his son next year. This family is from a foreign country and another culture. I suggested the mother talk to a counselor. She told me she is too afraid of her husband finding out. I then suggested a social worker and, finally, an attorney. Instead, she wants me to talk to her husband. I told her I am not willing to get involved in a losing battle. However, I feel increasingly concerned about the welfare of this child. Could you give me some guidance? — Unwilling To Watch the Titanic Hit an Iceberg Dear Unwilling: Most states have laws on the books that prohibit disseminating obscene material to a child. However, since you have not actually witnessed it and the mother seems reluctant to corroborate, you are in a gray area. We suggest you report this, anonymously, to your local child welfare authorities and ask them to investigate. Dear Annie: I am a 19-year-old college student and a cashier at a restaurant on weekends. I like my job and my bosses, and my "regulars" are extremely nice and easy to deal with. But now I dread coming to work. One customer comes in every time I'm there, and I cannot stand her. She complains constantly and always has something nasty to say about the other customers. Now I find that she is saying negative things about me, as well. I've tried to ignore her, but it's not working. I know I can't tell her off, but I've had it with her gossip. I was taught that I should stick up for myself and those who are good to me, and I really want to, but I don't know how to say it. I actually tried defending someone she insulted, but she wouldn't back down and gave me a dirty look. How do I handle this? — Optimist Sick of a Pessimist Dear Optimist: When you are working, you represent your employers and must treat the customers with respect even when they don't deserve it. It might help to understand that this woman has a bitter, sour personality and undoubtedly treats everyone this way. It is your job to ignore her nasty gossip and remain unfailingly polite. If that is not possible, find out whether you can switch your working hours so you are not present when she is likely to appear. Dear Annie: "Green Eyed" said her husband is tired after working as a long-distance truck driver and they haven't had sex in two years. A few years ago, my husband informed me that he had no sex drive. I didn't understand this because we've been married 30 years and are very close. There was no question of an affair. About six months ago, I read that sleep apnea could cause a loss of sexual desire in men. I urged him to get tested. It turned out he does have sleep apnea and now uses a CPAP. His sleep has improved, and he has his sex drive back. — Happy Wife Dear Happy: Sleep apnea can cause all sorts of problems. Thank you for mentioning the possibility. Dear Readers: Happy Halloween. Please dress your trick-or-treaters in flame-retardant costumes that don't obstruct walking or vision, and be sure to accompany them.

HINTS FROM HELOISE
Need some help getting stainless steel cup clean Dear Heloise: I read your column every day in The (Harrisburg, Pa.) Patriot-News. Many years ago, I attended an American Business Women’s Association event where you were the speaker. I have a stainless steel mug that I use for tea that’s badly stained. I’ve tried many things, but can’t get it clean. Can you help? — Darlene A., via email Nice to hear from you, and I enjoyed speaking to your group. Yes, I can help. A denture tablet is the old hint, but my favorite way to clean a tea stain today is with water and cheap vinegar. Fill your mug with water, add a few tablespoons of vinegar and
Hints from Heloise Columnist let sit for a while. Scrub with baking soda, and you’re done! For more-stubborn stains, you can mix equal parts salt and vinegar to clean and scrub. There are so many ways to use vinegar and save money that I compiled a pamphlet filled with quick and easy hints. To receive a copy, send $5 and a long, self-
addressed, stamped (64 cents) envelope to: Heloise/Vinegar, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001. Did you accidentally burn something in a pot while cooking, and now can’t remove it? Just soak in plain vinegar for approximately 30 minutes or so, then scrub and wash! — Heloise FLASHBACK HINT Dear Readers: Here’s a hint from five decades ago in celebration of the 50th year of national syndication of this column: “After washing my canvas shoes in the washing machine, I spray them with spray starch. This
puts a thin film over the cloth and prevents soil from clinging to the fabric, and the insides are still soft and comfortable.” — Sandra from 1961 SAFETY LIGHT Dear Heloise: I often work at the kitchen table in the evening with the light on over the table. This leaves the living room dark. In order to not fall over a small table, I place a small light (Heloise here: It looks like a candle, but it’s flameless) on the table, which makes it just light enough to see the table in the dark. — G.D. in North Liberty, Ind.

HOROSCOPE Monday, Oct. 31, 2011 You’ve learned some valuable lessons in the past and you won’t repeat the same mistakes in the coming year, so you are now ready to move on to more advanced assignments. Make the most of what is handed to you. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Inviting someone to an informal gathering with friends may not be as thoughtful as you intended. If this person doesn’t fit in, it could spoil the fun for everyone. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Make sure you can keep all your commitments, because someone to whom you make a promise will take you at your word and plan his or her entire day around what you say. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Although you may mean well, the way you manage the resources of another may turn out to be a terrible mistake and result in a huge loss. Your intentions are good but irresponsible. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — In trying to complete a specific assignment, you might take on an ally in hopes of finishing it sooner. Sadly, the person you choose could only make matters worse. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — If you have to deal with an assignment that you do not fully understand, don’t pretend you can handle it. Don’t let your pride inhibit you from requesting the help you sorely need. ARIES (March 21-April 19) — Put off taking any financial gambles — the odds simply aren’t in your favor for the moment. It would also be smart to prevent anyone else from making a commitment for you. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — All the wishing in the world won’t make things happen the way you want them to, so if it’s possible, put off all important scheduled events until another day. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — Before you rely on any gossip, check out everything yourself. Regardless of how long it takes to verify something, it’s vital that you don’t take at face value what is being said. CANCER (June 21-July 22) — If your resources aren’t being prudently managed, there is a chance you could respond in a way that could be costly at a later date. Take time to figure things out. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Even if you know what changes need to be implemented concerning your family, you could let haste push you into making a major gaffe. Slow down and think carefully before you upset the apple cart. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — You should take care not to allow your emotions to influence your judgment. The way things are in the real world and the way you perceive them could be galaxies apart. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Although, many times, business can mix very comfortably with social arrangements, this will not be so at present. Do all that you can to keep the two separated.

TODAY IN HISTORY (AP) — Today is Monday, Oct. 31, the 304th day of 2011. There are 61 days left in the year. This is Halloween. Today’s Highlights in History: On Oct. 31, 1941, the Navy destroyer USS Reuben James was torpedoed by a German Uboat off Iceland with the loss of some 100 lives, even though the United States had not yet entered World War II. Work was completed on the Mount Rushmore National Memorial in
South Dakota, begun in 1927. On this date: • In 1517, Martin Luther posted the 95 Theses on the door of the Wittenberg Palace church, marking the start of the Protestant Reformation in Germany. • In 1864, Nevada became the 36th state. • In 1926, magician Harry Houdini died in Detroit of gangrene and peritonitis resulting from a ruptured appendix. • In 1961, the body of Josef
Stalin was removed from Lenin’s Tomb as part of the Soviet Union’s “de-Stalinization” drive. • In 1968, President Lyndon B. Johnson ordered a halt to all U.S. bombing of North Vietnam, saying he hoped for fruitful peace negotiations. • Today’s Birthdays: Former Cambodian King Norodom Sihanouk is 89. Actress Lee Grant is 84. Movie critic Andrew Sarris is 83. Former astronaut Michael Collins is 81.
3M powerless as snow surprises Northeast SOUTH WINDSOR, Conn. (AP) — When winter’s white mixes with autumn’s orange and gold, nature gets ugly. A freak October nor’easter knocked out power to more than 3 million homes and businesses across the Northeast on Sunday in large part because leaves still on the trees caught more snow, overloading branches that snapped and wreaked havoc. Close to 2 feet of snow fell in some areas over the weekend, and it was particularly wet and heavy, making the storm even more damaging. “You just have absolute tree carnage with this heavy snow just straining the branches,” said National Weather Service spokesman Chris Vaccaro. From Maryland to Maine, officials said it would take days to restore electricity, even though the snow ended Sunday. The storm smashed record snowfall totals for October and worsened as it moved north. Communities in western Massachusetts were among the hardest hit. Snowfall totals topped 27 inches in Plainfield, and nearby Windsor had gotten 26 inches by early Sunday. It was blamed for at least nine deaths, and states of emergency were declared in New Jersey,
Connecticut, Massachusetts and parts of New York. Roads, rails and airline flights were knocked out, and passengers on a JetBlue flight were stuck on a plane in Hartford, Conn., for more than seven hours. And while children across the region were thrilled to see snow so early, it also complicated many of their Halloween plans. Sharon Martovich of Southbury, Conn., said she hoped the power will come back on in time for her husband’s Halloween tradition of playing “Young Frankenstein” on a giant screen in front of their house. But no matter what, she said, they will make sure the eight or so children who live in the neighborhood don’t miss out on trickor-treating. “Either way we will get the giant flashlights and we will go,” she said. More than 800,000 power customers were without electricity in Connecticut alone — shattering the record set just two months ago by Hurricane Irene. Massachusetts had more than 600,000 outages, and so did New Jersey — including Gov. Chris Christie’s house. Parts of Pennsylvania, New Hampshire, New York, Maine, Maryland and Vermont also were without power.
Welcome to the neighborhood

Gary Urling helps clear a fallen branch from his neighbor’s driveway in Boulder, Co. Wednesday. A winter storm has knocked out power to at least 62,000 homes and businesses along the Front Range. “It’s going to be a more difficult situation than we experienced in Irene,” Connecticut Gov. Dannel P. Malloy said. “We are expecting extensive and longterm power outages.” Thirty-two shelters were open around the state, and Malloy asked volunteer fire departments to allow people in for warmth and showers. At least four hospi-
tals were relying on generators for power. Around Newtown in western Connecticut, trees were so laden with snow on some back roads that the branches touched the street. Every few minutes, a snap filled the air as one broke and tumbled down. Roads that were plowed became impassible because the trees were falling so
fast. One of the few businesses open in the area was a Big Y grocery store that had a generator. Customers loaded up on supplies, heard news updates over the intercom, charged up their cell phones, and waited for a suddenly hard-to-get cup of coffee — in a line that was 30 people deep and growing.

CAUTION Whether posting or responding to an advertisement, watch out for offers to pay more than the advertised price for the item. Scammers will send a check and ask the seller to wire the excess through Western Union (possibly for courier fees). The scammer's check is fake and eventually bounces and the seller loses the wired amount. While banks and Western Union branches are trained at spotting fake checks, these types of scams are growing increasingly sophisticated and fake checks often aren't caught for weeks. Funds wired through Western Union or MoneyGram are irretrievable and virtually untraceable. If you have questions regarding scams like these or others, please contact the Ohio Attorney General’s office at (800)282-0515.

4. dress up put on special clothes to appear particularly appealing and attractive 5. ghost a mental representation of some haunting experience 6. Hallowe'en the evening before All Saints' Day; often devoted to pranks played by young people
cheeks turned a dark shade of red. “I was just playing with you,” Hector apologized. “You’re actually pretty good.” “Let’s go see where the music is coming from,” Felix said, heading toward the center of town. “Over there, at the park!” Hector was the first to spot the crowd. “It looks like a party!” They walked until they were at the edge of the park. The smell of burritos, enchiladas, beans and salsa made its way to the hungry trio. They could see decorations and a large piñata hanging from a tree branch. “I’d give my right arm for a burrito about now,” Hector said, licking his lips. “I’d give my giant, purple, swollen ankle for just one taco!” Felix joined in. “I’d give both of you away for one single tortilla chip!” Karol laughed. And before they knew what had happened, she was in the middle of the party. She was laughing and talking and pointing back to the two dirty, tired and slightly starving boys. “What do you think she’s doing?” Felix whispered. “Well, I think she’s earning her tortilla chip!” Hector quickly answered as Karol returned. “OK, you two, let’s go!” She motioned toward the party. “I knew it! You sold us, didn’t you!” Hector said, pointing an accusing finger in her face.
The Brass Bell Written by Cathy Sewell and illustrated by Blaise Sewell of The Curriculum Closet Chapter Five: Arriving in Gallinas “Coronado and his men visited many villages in search of the seven cities of gold. Starving and tired, they would sometimes force their way into the villages and take what they needed.” – Coronado and the Golden Cities Karol, Hector and Felix walked side by side into the town of Gallinas. Tired and hungry, the trio marched on, determined to find the treasure. “All right, navigator,” Karol teased. “Which way?” “Um, well, let me think,” Hector searched their surroundings. A row of businesses lined Main Street, very much like Corona. But this town was bigger. “Look!” Felix pointed down the street. “They have a theater!” “And a bowling alley!” Karol added. “Shhh … listen!” Hector said, tilting his head. “Do you hear that?” It took a minute for Felix and Karol to hear it. “Ah, it’s the merengue!” Karol announced, with a little bit of a dance motion. “What’s that supposed to be? You feeling OK?” Hector laughed. “Shut up, Hector,” Karol’s

“No, genius! That’s my Aunt Rosa and my cousins. They invited us to come and eat.” “Thanks, Karol!” both boys said over their shoulder, heading to the picnic tables. “So, Felix,” Tia Rosa began, “Karol said you’ve been reading about the explorer, Coronado.” “Yes ma’am, that’s right,” Felix could barely speak, with both cheeks full of food. He tried to reach into his backpack to show her the book and spilled his plate. “Thanks again, unlucky bell,” he said under his breath. “Here, Felix, use this,” Karol handed him a napkin. “You should meet Demetri – he’s kind of an explorer,” Rosa said. “He’s originally from Russia and has been in the United States for about a year. He’s a taxi driver.” Rosa walked Felix over to an unusual-looking man. He wore a brightly colored shirt, leather sandals and had a long, gray ponytail. “How in the world can you make any money as a taxi driver out here in the middle of nowhere?” Felix asked, trying not to sound rude. “Ah, young man!” Demetri said in a loud, strong Russian voice. “That’s what makes it exciting! I never know who I’ll meet or where I’ll go. Every day is a new adventure for me and my companion, Misha!” His
10. jack-o'-lantern a pale light sometimes seen at night over marshy ground 11. mask a covering to disguise or conceal the face 12. monster an imaginary creature usually having various human and animal parts 13. mummy informal terms for a mother 14. prank acting like a clown or buffoon 15. pumpkin a coarse vine widely cultivated for its large pulpy round orange fruit with firm orange skin and numerous seeds; subspecies of Cucurbita pepo include the summer squashes and a few autumn squashes 16. scary provoking fear terror 17. skeleton something reduced to its minimal form 18. taffy apple an apple that is covered with a candy-like substance (usually caramelized sugar) 19. toffee apple an apple that is covered with a candy-like substance (usually caramelized sugar) 20. trick or treat a request by children on Halloween; they pass from door to door asking for goodies and threatening to play tricks on those who refuse 21. vampire (folklore) a corpse that rises at night to drink the blood of the living 22. werewolf a monster able to change appearance from human to wolf and back again
voice echoed across the park and his arms swung around the whole time he spoke. “It was nice meeting you, Demetri,” Felix said, slowly backing away from the loud man. “But my friends and I have a treasure to find.” “Good luck on your adventure,” Demetri bellowed. “Same to you!” Felix said, shaking Demetri’s big, sweaty hand. “Thank you very much for the amazing food!” Felix told Rosa. “You’re welcome. But promise me that next time you’re coming to Gallinas, you’ll give me a call. I’d be happy to pick you up,” Rosa said, hugging Karol goodbye. And they were once again walking down Main Street, with full bellies and renewed excitement. “Are we almost there?” Karol asked, when it seemed as if they were approaching the other end of town. “No, we’re not almost there,” Hector said. “We are there!” He stopped in front of a large brick building. They stood looking up at the big sign hanging on the front, and they all knew that they had finally arrived.

• Some Halloween costumes are popular year after year. But some Halloween costumes are inspired by celebrities, leaders or events. Look through the news and feature sections of the newspaper and choose five people who would be popular masks or costumes this year. Write a sentence for each
explaining why people would want to dress like that person. • Everyone knows that Halloween means candy, candy, candy. Candy names are fun to read because they use language in funny ways. Pick a few of your favorites from Halloween ads in the newspaper. As a class discuss why
you like the names. Then write an outline for using the names in a Halloween story. Explain how you might use the names to describe people, events or action in your tale. • Holidays of all kinds give businesses a way to draw attention to things they want to sell. Look through the ads in today’s newspaper and make a list with classmates of ads offering Halloween sales, deals or specials. Pick out and discuss the ones you think are the most creative. Then design your own creative Halloween ad. • You can use the newspaper to make a quick costume. Using a full sheet of newspaper and tape, see if you can create a fancy hat from the newspaper. Can you make the hat show your personality? Discuss that idea with the class. • Dr. Frankenstein used a jolt of electricity to bring his creation to life. Look through todays’s newspaper and see how many pictured items you can find that use electricity. Choose on item and figure out how you could make a costume of the item. Then draw a picture of yourself in that costume and label all the parts. • “Alphabet Monster.” Kids take a page of the newspaper and, with a crayon, circle an example of each letter of the alphabet. Encourage them not to go across a line, keeping the letters in sequence, but to move all over the page (an “a” at the top, a “b” on the side, etc.) Then they connect the letters in order. Have them turn the page in any direction until they see a “monster” on the page. It then becomes a writing exercise when they describe the monster, how he/she/it came to be, is it a good/bad monster, etc. Older kids can do this and actually turn it into a short story they read to younger students. High school students can create whole books to send to elementary schools, etc.

‘D’ and rookies SEATTLE (AP) — Marvin Lewis politely acknowledged becoming Cincinnati’s all-time wins leader only to immediately crack a joke when it was pointed out the Bengals had surpassed their entire win total from a year ago. “We didn’t have to go far to surpass last year, unfortunately,” Lewis said. It’s not just the Bengals’ win total that’s surprising. They’re doing it thanks to defense, a couple of rookies on offense, and on
Sunday one huge special teams play. Quarterback Andy Dalton threw a pair of first-half touchdown passes, one to fellow rookie A.J. Green, Brandon Tate returned a punt 56 yards for a touchdown with 3:22 left and the Bengals won their fourth straight with a 34-12 win over the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday.

BY DAVID FONG Executive Editor fong@tdnpublishing.com TROY — By the time the Ohio High School Athletic Association officially announced the 2011 high school football playoff pairings Sunday afternoon, Troy coach Steve Nolan had already been preparing for Upper Arlington for the better part of two days. “It’s a lot different than it used to be,” said Nolan, who will be leading the Trojans into the Division I playoffs for the 11th time in his 28-year career at Troy. “You used to have to wait
to see who you were going to play. Now it’s all over the Internet. We’ve pretty much known since late Friday night who we would be playing. It gives you some extra time to prepare.” In truth, the Trojans have been preparing for a playoff berth for the better part of the last month — a departure from last year. Last season, Troy did not qualify for the postseason until the final week of the season. The Trojans had to win its final game, then got some help when several teams in Columbus lost in the final week. Only then did
Troy squeak into the playoffs with the eighth — and final — playoff spot. This season, Troy spent much of the second half of the season in the top half of the Division I, Region 3 computer points standings — and already had a playoff berth wrapped up going into the final week of the season. Nolan said that while the Trojans didn’t overlook Miamisburg or Sidney the final two weeks of the regular season, having the extra security allowed the Trojans to prepare for both teams with an eye toward the postseason.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Frank Gore received regular calls and encouragement from Roger Craig all offseason as he recovered from a fractured hip. Craig shared training tips, too. When Gore charged up the middle with his signature burst for a 2yard gain Sunday, he took another step forward in franchise history by moving past Craig into second place on the 49ers career rushing list. Gore ran for both 125-plus yards and a touchdown in a fourth straight game, Michael Crabtree made his first TD reception of the season, and San Francisco beat the Cleveland Browns 20-10 for its fifth straight victory. “It’s a blessing to have my name mentioned next to his,” Gore said. “This last year, we got to be close. When I got hurt, he called me every day. He was telling me I was going to be all right, to keep working.” Now, San Francisco’s star running back is determined to chase

Stewart wins at Martinsville; down 19 in Chase Steelers beat Patriots, 25-17 Ben Roethlisberger passed for 365 yards and two touchdowns as the Pittsburgh Steelers finally found a way to beat Tom Brady and the New England Patriots 25-17 on Sunday. Roethlisberger completed 36 of 50 passes and led the Steelers (6-2) on a series of clock-chewing drives, effectively keeping Brady and the NFL’s top-ranked offense off the field. Pittsburgh held the ball for more than 39 minutes and survived a late rally to win its fourth straight following a 2-2 start. See Page 15.
MARTINSVILLE, Va. (AP) — Tony Stewart passed Jimmie Johnson on a restart with three laps to go Sunday and surged into contention for his third NASCAR Sprint Cup championship with three races left. The victory was the third for Stewart in the first seven races of the 10-race playoffs, and he was easily the leading benefactor as the points race was significantly jumbled. Stewart moved from 19 points behind leader Carl Edwards and in fourth place to just eight points behind in second as sever-
al contenders got caught up in a season-high 18 caution flags. “He better be worried. That’s all I’ve got to say,” Stewart said in Victory Lane. Edwards struggled all day, twice needing the get a free pass as the first car a lap down. He made it pay off the second time, rallying to finish an unlikely ninth. “That’s just a gift,” he said. “We did not deserve to finish ninth.” Other deserved much better than what they got, namely Matt Kenseth and Brad Keselowski.
They started the day second and third in points, and both were running near the front all day until getting caught up in late accidents. Kenseth finished 31st and Keselowski wound up 17th. It seemed especially harsh for Kenseth, who was doing uncharacteristically well for him on the 0.526-mile oval until tangling with Kyle Busch on lap 464. Kenseth wound up in the garage. “That ruined my day, along with his and whoever else got unfortunately collected in that mess,” Kenseth said about Busch, who also ran up front all

day but limped home in 27th place. “That was crazy. The racing was crazy,” Jeff Gordon said after finishing third, followed by Kevin Harvick, Denny Hamlin, Jeff Burton, Dale Earnhardt Jr., Martin Truex Jr. and Edwards. Johnson, who started the day seventh in points, moved into sixth with his second-place run, but is still 43 points off the lead in search of his sixth consecutive championship. Harvick moved into third in the points race, 21 behind Edwards heading to Texas.

Bengals ■ CONTINUED FROM 14 score in the final minute and every phase had a hand in the Bengals fourth straight win and first win on the West Coast since beating San Diego in 2003. Cincinnati is 5-2 for the fourth time in the past 21 years and the previous three times it reached the postseason. The Bengals are tied with Baltimore a half game behind Pittsburgh in the tough AFC North. “We continue to find a way to win it and continue to
find a way to keep it interesting. We have to grow on the positives and correct the negatives,” Lewis said. “That’s a hard-fought game. It started out with more talking than playing. We got ahead at that point, and we were able to settle down and play a little bit more better in the second half.” Dalton tossed TDs of 14 yards to Jerome Simpson and a beautiful 43-yarder that dropped into the arms of Green in the second quar-

ter to give the Bengals a 173 lead. From there, the Bengals (5-2) leaned on their impressive defense that bent, but managed to keep Seattle out of the end zone until the fourth quarter. “To the people on the outside, they may be surprised and what not,” Cincinnati cornerback Leon Hall said. “Every season we come in expecting to win. … Just hopefully, we’ve got some big games coming up, so we execute in those games.”
Dalton made mistakes in the second half, throwing a pair of interceptions and the Bengals managed only 252 yards of total offense. That proved to be enough thanks to special teams, defense and flubs from the struggling Seahawks. Dalton, whom Seattle passed on in April’s draft by using its late firstround pick on right tackle James Carpenter instead of the quarterback out of TCU, was 18 of 29 for 168 yards. Green finished with four catches for 63 yards.

The 8-2 Bulldogs reached the playoffs in the No. 8 spot in Division IV, Region 16 and will face off with a familiar foe, No. 1 Waynesville. “You don’t get many chances at do-overs, and we have one,” MiltonUnion coach Bret Pearce said. “We felt that we didn’t play our best game there the first time (in a 49-21 loss), so now we get a second chance.” Milton-Union will be making its first postseason appearance since 2007. “I came here in 2000, and since I’ve been here, no group of four-year players has never been to the playoffs. This year’s group would’ve been the first group, and they made it a goal at the beginning of the season to get to the playoffs. They’re really excited.” Milton-Union will play at 7 p.m. Saturday in Waynesville. • Cincinnati Turpin at Tippecanoe Even a blowout loss in the final week of the season couldn’t spoil Tippecanoe’s year. The Red Devils finished the season with a 49-7 loss to undefeated Springfield Shawnee — the Devils’ only loss of the year — but it wasn’t enough to push them on the road in the first round of the Division II, Region 8 playoffs. Tippecanoe will host Cincinnati Turpin at 7:30 p.m. Friday night in its first playoff game as a DII school after years in DIII. • Coldwater at Covington The move to Division V didn’t phase Covington one bit. The Buccaneers cruised to an undefeated regular season at 10-0, as well as their second straight Cross County Conference championship. And as a result, Covington will host a first-round Division V, Region 20 playoff game, welcoming 7-3 Coldwater to town. “We feel real fortunate to be hosting,” Covington coach Dave Miller said. “I’m really happy for our kids. I know they’re excited to have another game this season.” But the Buccs also know that their first D-V playoff game will be a tough one. “We’re excited about the matchup. They’re a very, very, very good football team,” Miller said of the Cavaliers. “They’ll be the best team we face this year by far.” Covington faces Coldwater at 7 p.m. Saturday.

ST. LOUIS — Steven Jackson scored two touchdowns and had his first 100-yard rushing game in three seasons. The first win for the Rams (1-6) came two days after the St. Louis Cardinals won the World Series, with manager Tony La Russa and several of his players showing up to support the city’s football team. Drew Brees barely kept alive his touchdown pass streak in the final seconds a week after throwing five TDs in a 62-7 rout of the Colts. Brees was intercepted twice, with Darian Stewart’s pick and 27-yard return putting the game away with 2:51 to go.

Chris Cornerback Houston had the fourth 100-yard interception return in team history and defensive end Cliff Avril got a sack, strip and scoop, rumbling 24 yards into the end zone with a fumble as part of Detroit’s 45-point run after the Broncos (2-5) had taken a 3-0 lead on their first drive. Bills 23, Redskins 0 TORONTO — Ryan Fitzpatrick threw two touchdowns and the Bills defense had nine sacks over injury-riddled Washington in Buffalo’s adopted home north of the border. Scott Chandler caught both touchdown passes, including a 15-yarder to open the third quarter, that put Buffalo ahead 20-0. Fred Jackson had 120 yards rushing and 74 receiving in helping the Bills (5-2) get off to their first 4-0 start at “home” since 1995.

We’re right here in the middle of it almost at the halfway point,” defensive end Justin Smith said. “We’ve got a decent thing going on. We’ve got to continue to go. We’ve got a long grind ahead of us.” Alex Smith completed 15 of 24 passes for 177 yards for the first-place 49ers (6-1), who haven’t lost since falling in overtime to the Cowboys on Sept. 18.

■ CONTINUED FROM 14 “We’re a little further along in our playoff preparation than we were last season,” Nolan said. “Last year, we were fighting just to get in — and there were no guarantees we were going to get in even if we won out. It was a little different this year. We’ve pretty much known since we beat Piqua (in Week 7) that we had a good shot at getting in. That allowed us to approach things a little differently.” Against the Golden Bears — the suburban Columbus school has a rich playoff tradition, having made 15 previous trips to the playoffs, including winning a state championship in 2000 — that extra preparation could come in handy. Nolan said Upper Arlington is every bit as good as one would expect from a playoff team. “They’ve got huge linemen and they’ve got great athletes all over the place,” Nolan said. “They’ve got some linemen who are going to Division I colleges and obviously they’ve got one of the best receivers in the state.” Upper Arlington is led by receiver/safety Frank Epitropoulos. The 6-foot-3, 195-pound Epitropoulos — who will play at The Ohio State University next season — is ranked by rivals.com as the 69th best receiver in the entire nation and the No. 32 overall player in Ohio. James Henry — a 6-foot-7, 260-pound offensive lineman — already has made a verbal committment to play next season at the University of Toledo. Grayson Fisher — a 6foot-4, 231-pound defensive end — has received offers from a number of Ivy League colleges, including Princeton, Bucknell, Cornell and Darmouth. The Golden Bears also feature a trio of talented sophomores. Defensive tackle Noah Spielman (61, 230 pounds) is the son of legendary Ohio State linebacker Chris Spielman. Sophomore defensive backs Chris Frey (6-foot-3, 195 pounds) and Jared Drake (6-foot-2, 205 pounds) already are being looked at by a number of Division I college programs. “It’s going to be a challenge,” Nolan said. “They’ve got athletes everywhere.” • Milton-Union at Waynesville Milton-Union gets something not a lot of teams get.

Roethlisberger completed 36 of 50 passes and led the Steelers (6-2) on a series of clock-chewing drives, effectively keeping Brady and the NFL’s topranked offense off the field. Pittsburgh held the ball for more than 39 minutes and survived a late rally to win its fourth straight following a 2-2 start. Brady passed for two touchdowns but threw for a season-low 198 yards and couldn’t get into any sort of rhythm while losing to the Steelers for just the second time in his career. The Patriots (5-2) drew within six when Brady hit Aaron Hernandez for a 1yard touchdown pass with 2:35 remaining, but a lastgasp drive ended when Brady was sacked and the ball rolled out of the end zone for a safety with 8 seconds to play.
