COLUMBUS (AP) — A ballot battle in Ohio that pits the union rights of public workers against Republican efforts to shrink government and limit organized labor’s reach culminates Tuesday in a vote with political consequences from statehouses to Pennsylvania Avenue. A question called Issue 2 asks voters to accept or reject a voluminous rewrite of Ohio’s collective bargaining law that GOP Gov. John Kasich signed in March, less than three months after his party regained power in the closely divided swing state. Thousands descended the Statehouse in protest of the legislation known as Senate Bill 5, prompting state officials at one point to lock the doors out of concern for lawmakers’ safety. The legislation affects more than 350,000 police, firefighters, teachers, nurses and other government workers. It sets mandatory health care and pension minimums for unionized government employees, bans public worker strikes, scraps binding arbitration and prohibits basing promotions solely on seniority. By including police and firefighters, Ohio’s bill went further than Wisconsin’s, which was the first in a series of union-limiting measures plugged by Republican governors this year as they faced deep budget holes and a tea party movement fed up with government excess. 1

Voters take advantage of the last day of early voting at the Cuyahoga County Board of Elections Friday, in Cleveland. Statewide ballot questions, including a politically charged collective-bargaining issue, amped up off-year election early voting. Democratic governors, including New York’s Andrew Cuomo and Connecticut’s Dannel Malloy, have also faced down their public employee unions in attempts to rein in costs. That’s why labor badly needs a win in Ohio, said Lee Adler, who teaches labor issues at Cornell University’s New York State School of Industrial and Labor Relations. “If the governor of Ohio is able to hold the line on the legislation that was passed, then it would be a very significant setback for public sector

workers and public sector unions in the U.S.,” he said. “Likewise, if the other result happens, then it would certainly provide a considerable amount of hope that, with the proper kind of mobilization and the proper kind of targeting, some of the retrenchment that has been directed at public sector workers can be combated.” Victory could also galvanize support and build energy within the Democratic-leaning labor movement ahead of the 2012 presidential election.

YOU’RE INVITED TO JOIN US FOR OUR ANNUAL

Community Thanksgiving Day Dinner November 24th • 11 a.m - 4 p.m.

With two seats open on the Newton Local Schools Board of Education, three community members are seeking to serve. Nate Oburn and David Welbaum are running for their second terms. Laurence Amick is seeking a first term on the board of education. Below is biography information from all candidates: Laurence Amick Age: 71 Education: Graduate of Newton High School; Miami University, Piqua extension, Wright State University (M.A.) Employment: Teacher and administrator at Newton Local Schools, Miami East Local Schools, Covington Exempted Village Schools, Tipp City Exempted Schools, Dayton Public Schools and West Liberty. Family: Wife Judy, three sons and two daughters Why are you seeking this office? I’ve had 41 years experience as a teacher and a principal. I just thought with all the experience as both a teacher and as an administrator, I’ve seen an awful lot of things happen in the classroom. I’m basically running for the children. I enjoy the kids. The school is running great. I have no agenda. I just though I’d try to run to see what I can do to help. What are the top two or three issues this office faces? First, to make sure we do a good job with the taxpayers’ money. Second, to make sure when anybody on staff needs to be replaced, they do so with a top-notch person. Third, the students are the getting the best we can give them. What makes you the best candidate for this office? The experience I’ve had should make me a strong candidate. Things come and go with education. It’s changed a lot in the last 40 years and it’s going to continue to change. The state keeps taking money away and unfortunately, the taxpayers are tired of it. Newton’s always had the things they’ve needed to meet their needs and I hope to continue that.

Council • Continued from A1 Clark said he is seeking re-election “to continue my service to the community and to continue to raise the quality of life here. I have dedicated my life to serving the public. Troy has been good to my family and me. I have CLARK experience with Troy’s city government, which allows me to know how the system works, and I can help make sure it is efficient as possible while being mindful of the taxpayers’ dollars.” Clark said economic development and bringing jobs to Troy “will keep our cost of living low as compared to other communities in the Miami Valley and enhance the quality of life.” He said the city must maintain its infrastruc-

ture, which helps lure companies to the city, and manage the budget effectively in the face of possible funding cuts from the state “while still maintaining a high level of service to our citizens without raising taxes.” Clark said he is “fiscally conservative and a proven problem solver,” and has proven himself as being responsive to residents’ questions and concerns over his past four terms. Clark has been married to wife Eileen for 39 years and they have two adult children, Paul and Kelly. He is the Miami County Men’s Republican Club membership chairman, on the board of directors of the Troy Rec, a volunteer with National Night Out Against Crime, the Mayors Downtown Round Table and a member of St. Patrick Catholic Church. This is the first run for office for Robin Oda, Lynne Snee and Colin Girolamo.

ELECT

MARY K. UTZ FOR VICE MAYOR OF WEST MILTON

VOTE FOR MARY K. UTZ ON NOVEMBER 8 Paid for by Utz for Vice Mayor, Mary K. Utz, chairman, 200 S. Washington St., West Milton, Ohio 45383

2230647

West Milton will prosper and move forward only if we work together. We must elect officials who have the best interests of the citizens, not their own, at heart. We need forward-thinking leadership that is accountable and responsive to the needs of our residents. I ask for your vote on Tuesday, November 8. It’s time for fresh ideas and new leadership.

LYNNE SNEE Snee, 45, is an intervention assistant at Forest Elementary School in Troy who earned an undergraduate degree at Huntingdon College in Montgomery, Ala., and a master’s degree in public administration at the University of West Florida in Pensacola, Fla. She said her past work in municipal government and her educaSNEE tion in public administration “provides a solid basis for understanding local government issues such as planning and zoning, finance, municipal operations and public safety. My years of staff work in the city manager’s office and with the city council in Pensacola, Fla., gave me experience in dealing with local government legislation and interaction with citizens on issues of importance to them.” Snee said two key issues facing Troy are “maintaining financial stability for the city while managing infrastructure maintenance and controlling costs. Additionally, review of areas of potential intergovernmental cooperation, such as the water system study in cooperation with Piqua, will be an important issue for the city council,” she said. “I have a passion for local government because of the impact I know it has on the community. My past work in local government showed me how local government’s decisions can affect people’s lives. If I am elected as a Troy City Council member, I will work to make Troy’s government responsive, efficient and effective,” she said. Snee is married to husband Chad and they have three daughters. A 2002 Leadership Troy graduate, she has an extensive resume of community involvement, including Forest Elementary PTO treasurer, Strawberry Festival Queen’s Pageant judge, volunteer instructor for the Troy-Miami County Public Library summer reading program, grant writer for the nonprofit Miami County Dental Clinic and is a Girl Scout

volunteer. Snee also is CISV secretary and Festival of Nations Committee chair, is involved with the Troy Music Boosters and a member of the First United Methodist Church. “I am committed to keeping Troy the familyfriendly, civic-minded community that we all appreciate. After all, the same things that drew my family and me to Troy are what continue to draw new businesses and residents to our city. I want to keep Troy looking forward to a bright future while holding on to the small-town values that make our community a place where people who visit wish they could live,” Snee said. ROBIN ODA When Hutchinson announced earlier this year that he would not seek reelection, Robin Oda said she decided the time was right to pursue a seat on council. “My children are grown, I have the time to give this position the time it requires and I bring a unique view to ODA city council,” said Oda, 50, who’s been married to husband Scott for 27 years. They have three adult children, ages 20, 22 and 24. It’s Oda’s first time seeking an elective office, and she has been attending council meetings over the past several months to familiarize herself with council procedures and the issues. She said prior to having a family, she worked as an administrative assistant to the vice president of nursing in an Indiana hospital, where she said, “you quickly learn how to pay attention to details, work independently and get the job done. Besides being a fulltime mother, Oda’s most recent work experience is as an independent business consultant, a nursery/preschool coordinator at her church and a fulltime babysitter for a neighbor’s 4-year-old. Oda also a committee member on her church’s Design Team, which oversaw a $1.7 million dollar building expansion. “As

the only woman on the committee, I had the opportunity to point out overlooked details and make suggestions that improved the overall design. I learned how to be heard on a committee, sometimes as a lone voice,” she said. She also was a fulltime caregiver to her father and her husband’s grandparents. All those past work and life experiences have informed her approach to council, she said. “All of these life experiences have given me a unique set of abilities, including interpersonal, managerial, organizational, time management, personal responsibility skills, and the ability to take on and learn new things,” Oda said. “Most importantly, all of these experiences have given me the ability to look at an issue from all sides, to seek out what the pros and cons are, to ask important questions before making the best decision possible. “The people of Troy are essentially ‘hiring’ a team of people to do the behindthe-scenes research and legwork on decisions that will affect the city and its people. By deciding to run for council, I am saying that I am willing to learn the job, do the work, ask the questions and make the best possible decisions based on the information discovered,” Oda said. For Oda, the key issues facing Troy are increasing the employment base in Troy and being fiscally responsible and balanced in decision-making. “We must also consider smart ways to grow, which includes maintaining and improving our infrastructure,” she said. COLIN GIROLAMO Girolamo, 27, faces a pretrial hearing Nov. 10 for allegedly losing control of his vehicle in the parking lot of two West Main Street restaurants on the evening of Sept. 25. He fled the scene before police arrived and later was apprehended. He has been charged with operating a vehicle while intoxicated, leaving the scene and failure to control. He also has been cited 11 other times since 2001 for a variety of misdemeanors, including a May 2002 spray painting inci-

dent at Troy High School. The 2002 Troy High School alum earned a bachelor of arts degree in political science in 2007 from Ohio University and said he is running for council because GIRALOMO he is “passionate” about becoming involved in public service in his hometown. “Because of my education I understand how government works, especially on a local level. I studied political science because it is something that I am passionate about, and I am fully ready to devote myself to (council),” said Girolamo, who is single and works as a server/bartender at a downtown Troy restaurant. If elected Girolamo said he will work to address a lack of downtown parking and lead efforts to ensure economic “responsible” development. “Because Troy has so many positive attributes we attract a great deal of potential businesses and residential developers. I believe it is crucial that we remain selective as a community in terms of what businesses we encourage to come to Troy, and make sure that we keep development at a responsible rate,” he said. Girolamo, who lives and works in downtown Troy, said he would work with other city leaders and downtown business owners to create a longterm solution to the lack of downtown parking. Girolamo also said he believes his youth will be an asset on city council. “Troy needs younger people to step up and fulfill leadership roles such as this one. Young people and young families are the future of this town and I believe it is crucial that they are thoroughly represented on council,” he said. Girolamo said he has accepted responsibility for his past transgressions, including the Sept. 25 incident. “In life, you make mistakes and you learn from them. I have made mistakes. I have learned from them and I am moving forward.”

LETTERS

Do not listen to the negative campaigning To the Editor: I am one of four candidates for Troy law director in Tuesday’s election. I have worked hard on this campaign, starting in June when I had to hire an attorney to file our appeal with the Second District Court of Appeals, to overturn my wrongful exclusion from Tuesday’s ballot by the Miami County Board of Elections. My campaign committee and I have gone door to door in every neighborhood in Troy and have gone to more than 6,000 houses, and spoken to everyone who answered their door; we have written to that same number of households providing them with information about my qualifications and my experience; and have distributed more than 500 yard signs, in running a positive and aboveboard campaign. However, despite my positive campaign, I am starting to see negative and inaccurate campaign rhetoric on Facebook and in chain e-mails from the campaigns of some other candidates for law director. I anticipate more of the same, if not worse, before Tuesday’s election once the deadline passes for submission of letters to the editor today and newspaper ads at noon tomorrow, the last meaningful chances for me to address any false or misleading rhetoric. Because any such last-ditch ambush tactics will leave me no chance to respond before the election, I can only ask that the voters of Troy remember that claims or allegations first raised in the final days of a six-week campaign, should be looked at with extreme skepticism. Voters should also remember that resort to negative campaigning at the last minute is generally the final desperate act of a failed campaign. If any voter receives anything or hears something from another candidate between now and Tuesday’s election, the accuracy of which you want to check out, please feel free to email me at livingstonforlawdirector@ gmail.com with your question, your name, address and phone number. I will respond to you within 24 hours.

Fortunately, for me, I have a personal knowledge regarding all of the candidates and I personally endorse Jim Livingston. I also personally know every member of Jim Livingston’s law firm, partners as well as associates. I can attest and assure the voters that the current law director and his staff of attorneys have performed their responsibilities to the highest standards of professionalism and integrity. Statements or press releases to the contrary are misleading, erroneous and amount to an insult to the fine group of attorneys who have represented the city of Troy consistently and faithfully for more than 30 years. I commend Jim Livingston for deciding that once he is elected, he will continue the excellent service which has been provided by retaining the current municipal court prosecutors. Jim Livingston represents the best and finest that Troy has to offer and he will continue the professionalism and integrity which has been the cornerstone of the law director’s office for the last 30 years. Please join me in voting or Jim Livingston for law director for the City of Troy in next Tuesday’s election.

Ludlow Falls (and previously, Casstown) where he provided representation on all matters relating to village governance — from drafting ordinances and resolutions to advising them on zoning issues. In addition, Rob Harrelson has represented many individuals and businesses in his private practice, in countless issues involving the same areas of municipal law in which he would be representing Troy as the next law director. These included zoning issues, real estate matters, constitutional questions, eminent domain concerns, and matters involving the defense of those being criminally prosecuted. Since 1982, when he became licensed to practice law, Rob Harrelson has been an attorney in our law firm (Faust, Harrelson, Fulker, McCarthy, and Schlemmer) and he has repeatedly demonstrated exceptional dedication, skill, work ethic, knowledge and common sense — qualities that make Rob Harrelson the best attorney for Troy’s next law director. The City of Troy needs and deserves to have the attorney who will provide the best advice: Rob Harrelson IS that attorney. As a former law director for the City of Troy, and as a person — John A. Wannemacher who has practiced law with Rob Troy for nearly 30 years, I fully endorse Rob Harrelson as Troy’s next law director

Vote Harrelson for law director

To the Editor: I am writing to encourage the citizens of Troy to vote for Rob Harrelson in the race for law director. Rob is a partner in the firm of Faust, Harrelson, Fulker, McCarthy & Schlemmer, one of the largest and oldest law firms in Troy. I have known Rob well for over 30 years and have worked with him and his firm on many legal and business matters. He is an outstanding attorney and has developed a very successful practice working on matters relevant to this position, such as: zoning, business contracts, financial and tax regulations, and constitutional law.

While most citizens don’t interact with the law director on a regular basis, my career has allowed me to realize how important this position is to the proper functioning of Troy’s government and the growth of our business community. And in my long career, no attorney is better for the position of law director than Rob Harrelson. I know Rob Harrelson like he is my own son.

The angry mob is greater than ESPN moderators The Internet is a fickle mistress. One week it loves you, then the next week it mocks you. Or in some cases, one week it mocks you in subtle ways, then the next week it mocks you in an allencompassing, swallow-all-in-itspath, unstoppable-juggernaut kind of way. Just ask Tim Tebow. The former quarterback of the Florida Gators in college and current QB of the National Football League’s Denver Broncos, Tebow has been a polarizing figure his entire football career. And in just one week’s time, he went from hero (of sorts) to less-than-zero in the Internet’s estimation, spawning two vastly different memes in that short time. The first meme — a trend or idea that spreads over the Internet — was the practice of “Tebowing.” Inspired by a touchdown celebration of Tebow’s after he led the Broncos to a thrilling come-from-behind win against the, well, pathetic Miami Dolphins, “Tebowing” involves bending down to a knee and praying — no matter what everyone else around you is doing. It was meant as a way to mock the in-your-face evangelical Christian beliefs that Tebow con-

Josh Brown Sunday Columnist stantly shoves in everyone’s collective face. But what superstars don’t understand is that we don’t care what their beliefs are — we just want them to do what they’re actually famous for. (Maybe if Tom Cruise would knock it off with the Scientology cult, he’d remember how to make decent movies.) That’s only a small part of the Tebow allure, though. The main reason the Internet loves to rip on Tebow is, well, we’re all sick of him. ESPN and other major media outlets deified him while he was a Gator, building a great college athlete with only so-so actual football skills up to god-like status. The saturation was so overwhelming that a majority of sports fans — except for a portion in Florida, of course —

developed a seething, unrelenting hatred of him. Like that song you think is great but hear 5,000 too many times on the radio, everyone just wanted Tebow to go away. He didn’t. Now he’s in the NFL, and he once again opened himself up to criticism with his touchdown kneel. Around the Internet, people posted pictures of themselves kneeling down to pray in increasingly inappropriate and ridiculous situations, and it was mildly funny. A week ago today, the Detroit Lions destroyed the Broncos 45-10, and at one point after sacking Tebow, a Lions player “Tebowed” right beside him. And it was hilarious. But the best was yet to come. That night, ESPN.com’s Bill Williamson posted a column about how Tebow will never be a serviceable NFL QB. It was sane, rational and used facts and numbers to back it up. The Internet was not satisfied. It wanted more. Commenters on the article turned it into a chance to crucify Tebow once and for all. After the typical poorly-worded and spelled rants of how bad he is, something miraculous happened — the masses came together on one simple idea.

X > Tebow. “X” began as silly little things that people generally think negatively of, but it soon grew into any number of things. Ridiculous things. Horrible things. Offensive things. Hilarious things. No matter what it was, if people hate it, it’s still greater than Tim Tebow. The “X > Tebow” comments came in such a flood — even spreading to other articles — that ESPN.com’s moderators began deleting them, according to Deadspin.com. When that only made the Internet angry and even more comments popped up, the moderators began issuing bans. And while a private company policing its own website doesn’t necessarily fall under the “freedom of speech” protections in the Constitution, it still proved to be an enormous mistake. Comments poured in by the millions, and after four days the mods surrendered before the collective might of the Internet. ESPN is Dr. Frankenstein, and the hatred of Tebow is its monstrous creation. Only this time, the monster IS the angry mob, as well. TDN Sports Editor Josh Brown appears Sundays.

Race likely to be close, tough, maybe brutal One year to go until Election Day WASHINGTON (AP) — One year to go until Election Day and the Republican presidential field is deeply unsettled, leaving President Barack Obama only to guess who his opponent will be. But the race’s contours are starting to come into view. It’s virtually certain that the campaign will be a close, grinding affair, markedly different from the 2008 race. It will play out amid widespread economic anxiety and heightened public resentment of government and politicians. Americans who were drawn to the drama of Obama’s barrier-breaking battle with Hillary Rodham Clinton, and the up-anddown fortunes of John McCain and Sarah Palin, are likely to see a more partisan contest this time, with Ohio and Florida playing crucial roles as they did in

2000 and 2004. Republicans have their script; they just need to pick the person to deliver it. It will portray Obama as a failed leader who backs away when challenged and who doesn’t understand what it takes to create jobs and spur business investment. Obama will highlight his opponent’s ties to the tea party and its priorities. He will say Republicans are obsessed with protecting millionaires’ tax cuts while the federal debt soars and working people struggle. On several issues, voters will see a more distinct contrast between the nominees than in 2008. Even the most moderate Republican candidates have staked out more rigidly conservative views on immigration, taxes and spending than did Arizona Sen. McCain.

Democrats say Obama has little control over the two biggest impediments to his re-election: unemployment and congressional gridlock. The jobless rate will stand at levels that have not led to a president’s re-election since the Great Depression. Largely because of that, Obama will run a much more negative campaign, his aides acknowledge, even if it threatens to demoralize some supporters who were inspired by his 2008 message of hope. The tea party, one of the modern era’s most intriguing and effective political movements, will play its first role in a presidential race. After helping Republicans win huge victories in last year’s congressional elections, activists may push the GOP presi-

dential contenders so far right that the eventual nominee will struggle to appeal to independents. “It’s going to be extremely different, with much more hand-to-hand combat, from one foxhole to another, targeted to key states,” said Chris Lehane, who helped run Democrat Al Gore’s 2000 presidential campaign. Republican consultant Terry Holt agreed. “You can expect a very negative campaign,” he said. “In 2008, Barack Obama was peddling hope and change. Now he’s peddling fear and poverty.” Obama and his aides reject that characterization, of course. They say the Republican candidates are under the tea party’s spell, noting that all of them said they would reject a deficitreduction plan even if it included $10 in spending cuts for every dollar in new taxes. Both parties agree that

jobs will be the main issue. The White House predicts unemployment will hover around 9 percent for at least a year, a frighteningly high level for a president seeking a second term. GOP lawmakers, who control the House and have filibuster power in the Senate, have blocked Obama’s job proposals, mainly because they would raise taxes on the wealthy. The candidates, echoing their Republican colleagues in Congress, say new jobs will follow cuts in taxes, regulation and federal spending. With the economy struggling and Obama hemmed in legislatively, his advisers sometimes say the election will be a choice between the president and his challenger, rather than a referendum on the administration’s performance. “That’s a very genteel way of saying ‘We’re going to rip your face off,’” said Dan

Schnur, a former aide to McCain and other Republicans, and now a politics professor at the University of Southern California. Obama has little choice but to try to portray the GOP alternative as worse than his own disappointing record, Schnur said. Some Republican candidates would be tougher targets than others. Texas Gov. Rick Perry promotes his significant job state’s growth, leaving Democrats to grouse that he was a lucky bystander rather than the cause. Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney says his years in the private sector make him best suited to lead an economic expansion. But Obama’s allies have gathered details of jobs that were eliminated when Bain Capital, a takeover firm that Romney headed, restructured several companies.

Jobs crisis takes toll on Americans Most of unemployed no longer receive benefits more than 99 weeks. They’re no longer eligible for benefits. Their options include food stamps or other social programs. Nearly 46 million people received food stamps in August, a record total. That figure could grow as more people lose unemployment benefits. So could the government’s disability rolls. Applications for the disability insurance program have jumped about 50 percent since 2007. “There’s going to be increased hardship,” said Wayne Vroman, an economist at the Urban Institute. The number of unemployed has been roughly stable this year. Yet the number receiving benefits has plunged 30 percent. Government unemployment benefits weren’t designed to sustain people for long stretches without work. They usually don’t have to. In the recoveries from the previous three

recessions, the longest average duration of unemployment was 21 weeks, in July 1983. By contrast, in the wake of the Great Recession, the figure reached 41 weeks in September. That’s the longest on records dating to 1948. The figure is now 39 weeks. “It was a good safety net for a shorter recession,” said Carl Van Horn, an economist at Rutgers University. It assumes “the economy will experience short interruptions and then go back to normal.” Weekly unemployment checks average about $300 nationwide. If the extended benefits aren’t renewed, growth could slow by up to a half-percentage point next year, economists say. The Congressional Budget Office has estimated that each $1 spent on unemployment benefits generates up to $1.90 in economic growth. The CBO has found that the program

is the most effective government policy for increasing growth among 11 options it’s analyzed. Jon Polis lives in East Greenwich, R.I., one of the 20 states where 99 weeks of benefits are available. He used them all up after losing his job as a warehouse worker in 2008. His benefits paid for groceries, car maintenance and health insurance. Now, Polis, 55, receives disability insurance payments, food stamps and lives in government-subsidized housing. He’s been unable to find work because employers in his field want computer skills he doesn’t have. “Employers are crying that they can’t find qualified help,” he said. But the ones he interviewed with “weren’t willing to train anybody.”

WASHINGTON (AP) — The jobs crisis has left so many people out of work for so long that most of America’s unemployed are no longer receiving unemployment benefits. Early last year, 75 percent were receiving checks. The figure is now 48 percent, a shift that points to a growing crisis of long-term unemployment. Nearly onethird of America’s 14 million unemployed have had no job for a year or more. Congress is expected to decide by year’s end whether to continue providing emergency unemployment benefits for up to 99 weeks in the hardest-hit states. If the emergency benefits expire, the proportion of the unemployed receiving aid would fall further. The ranks of the poor would also rise. The Census Bureau says unemployment benefits kept 3.2 million people from slipping into poverty last year. It defines poverty as annual income below $22,314 for a family of four. Yet for a growing share of the unemployed, a vote in Congress to extend the benefits to 99 weeks is irrelevant. They’ve had no job for

Former ‘60 Minutes’ commentator Andy Rooney dies at age 92 NEW YORK (AP) ” Andy Rooney, the curmudgeonly commentator who spent more than 30 years wryly talking about the oddities of life for the TV news magazine “60 Minutes,” died Friday night, CBS said. He was 92. Just a month ago, Rooney delivered his last regular essay on the CBS news magazine. CBS said he died Friday night in New York from complications from a recent surgery. Rooney, also a syndicated newspaper columnist, talked about what was in the news. But he was just as likely to use his weekly television essay to discuss the old clothes in his closet, why banks need to have important-sounding names or whether there was a real Mrs. Smith who made Mrs. Smith’s Pies. He won four Emmy Awards, including one for his story revealing there was no Mrs. Smith. Rooney began his “60 Minutes” commentaries in 1978 and was still at it three decades later, railing about how unpleasant air travel had become. “Let’s make a statement to the airlines just to get their attention. We’ll pick a week next year and we’ll all agree not to go anywhere for seven days,” he told viewers. “I obviously have a knack for getting on paper what a lot of people have thought and didn’t realize they thought,” Rooney once

Based on the success of the district in the past several years, I still have something to offer. What are the top two or three issues this office faces? First, state funding. The budget has to be first. We have to be very conscience of what we do with what we have. We have to be vigilant in maintaining our budget that the state changes every one, two and three years. We never seem to know what to expect every one, two and three years in terms of state funding. Second, the state’s way of evaluating the school system. Third, maintaining the excellent education to which this district has elevated themselves. We are still in the positive financially in this district and it’s my desire to maintain status quo. What makes you the best candidate for this office? I believe I can ful-

fill the position. My desire is that this community I dearly love makes the proper decision. I want to help this community. My desire is that these two spots get the most qualified candidate and the candidate that is chosen is going to benefit this district as a whole. What else would you like voters to know about you? I’m a lifetime resident of this community. My heart is here. I’m the father of five children, four who are still in the school system. I see great things happening here and I’d like to continue to serve our students and staff in this district for another term. David Welbaum Age: 44 Education: Newton Local High School graduate; associate’s degrees from Edison Community College in both business management and accounting. Family: Wife Erin, two sons and one daughter Why are you seeking this office? I think the past four years, we, as a group, have done an excellent job maintaining a high quality of education. I’m excited to be a part of it. As a group, we work extremely well together with the teachers, the staff and the administration. There are a lot of positive things that I want to see continue in this district. What are the top two or three issues this office faces? First, maintaining a high quality education at Newton Local School. That has started

several years ago when we hired Pat McBride. He’s upfront, honest with everyone. Second, we as a board have worked hard to continue the positive atmosphere here in the community. It’s as high as I’ve ever seen it. Newton School is in a very good place and I want to be part of it for four more years. Third, school funding from the state. Every school district is struggling. What makes you the best candidate for this office? Overall, it’s the love I have for this school district and this community. I went to school here, my kids go to school here and I want to be a part of all the exciting things that Newton has to offer, whether its sports, music, academics — things are going in a positive direction. I’m young enough to still have a finger on the pulse of what is happening in this district, but old enough to have a few years of wisdom behind me. My overall love for this community and this school district is what I have to offer and I want to be a part of it for another four years. What else would you like voters to know about you? I’m very accessible. I’m always at a sporting event or music performance. If people have a concern, they can come to me and I’ll try my best to get the problem solved. I think I’m a great listener and I’m a fair person. I’m open to any suggestions to get the problem solved. People can approach me at any time if they need to.

said. “And they say, ‘Hey, yeah!’ And they like that.” For many years, “60 Minutes” improbably was the most popular program on U.S. television and a dose of Rooney was what Americans came to expect for a knowing smile on the night before they had to go back to work. In early 2009, as he was about to turn 90, he looked ahead to Barack Obama’s upcoming inauguration with a look at past inaugurations. He told viewers that Calvin Coolidge’s 1925 swearing-in was the first to be broadcast on radio, adding, “That may have been the most interesting thing Coolidge ever did.” “Words cannot adequately express Andy’s contribution to the world of journalism and the impact he made as a colleague and a friend upon everybody at CBS,” said Leslie Moonves, CBS Corp. president and CEO. Jeff Fager, CBS News chairman and “60 Minutes” executive producer, said “it’s hard to imagine not having Andy around. He loved his life and he lived it on his own terms. We will miss him very much.” “60 Minutes” will end its broadcast Sunday with a tribute to Rooney by vet-

TIPP CITY — Matt Owen has joined Bruns General Contracting in Tipp City as sales manager. Owen will be responsible for growing construction sales in the industrial/commercial market with emphasis in Montgomery County and southward. Additionally, Owen will obtain his real estate sales license in the next few months specializing in industrial/commercial properties. OWEN Owen comes to Bruns from the Tipp City Chamber of Commerce, where as CEO/president he was responsible for business and economic development, downtown promotion, historic preservation, workforce development and training, strategic planning, budgeting and legislative advocacy. Owen graduated from Tippecanoe High School, attended Wright State University, served in the U.S. Navy and received a degree in advertising from the School of Advertising Arts in Kettering. Owen and his wife are

He said he probably hadn’t said anything on “60 Minutes” that most of his viewers didn’t already know or hadn’t thought. “That’s what a writer does,” he said. “A writer’s job is to tell the truth.” True to his occasional crotchety nature, though, he complained about being famous or bothered by fans. His last wish from fans: If you see him in a restaurant, just let him eat his dinner. “Andy always said he wanted to work until the day he died, and he managed to do it, save the last few weeks in the hospital,” said his “60 Minutes” colleague, correspondent Steve Kroft. Rooney was a freelance writer in 1949 when he encountered CBS radio star Arthur Godfrey in an elevator and with the bluntness millions of people learned about later told him his show could use better writing. Godfrey hired him and by 1953, when he moved to TV, Rooney was his only writer.

Troy falls to Upper Arlington in overtime thriller BY DAVID FONG Executive Editor Fong@tdnpublishing.com UPPER ARLINGTON — Officially, the Troy football team fell one foot short of upsetting Upper Arlington in the Division I, Region 3 playoffs at Upper Arlington High School Saturday. Unofficially, however, there is no measure for the heart and desire the Trojans showed in taking on the bigger, HILLIARD faster, stronger Golden Bears. Unfortunately for the Trojans, however, is the official measurement that ultimately counts, as Upper Arlington held on for a 21-20 overtime victory over the Trojans. With the win, Upper Arlington (9-2) will move on to face Hilliard Davidson in the regional semifinals. Troy’s season came to an end at 8-3. “You can’t say enough about how hard these kids played,” Troy coach Steve Nolan said. “They gave it every single thing they had.

Well, besides the fact that they are some of the best runners in Division I — and in the state of Ohio — who all qualified for Saturday’s State Cross Country meet at WHARTON National Trail Raceway in Hebron, they also had something else in common, although they may not have been aware of it. All of those runners were on Tippecanoe’s Sam Wharton’s vengeance list. It wasn’t an ideal finish for Wharton in the Divison I race at the Troy regional on Oct. 29, as the usual pack leader fell a few spots coming into the final stretch and limped into a state qualification with an eighth place finish, running a time of 16:06.28. Earlier in the week, though, Tippecanoe coach Byron Kimmel pointed out that Wharton had an off race at the regional meet. Kimmel, however, was also quick to point out that everytime Wharton had a rocky race, he bounced back with a great run the following week. Boy, was he right. The Tipp junior Wharton

Milton-Union loses to Waynesville, 21-17 BY JOSH BROWN Sports Editor jbrown@tdnpublishing.com

Lehman falls to St. Henry Lehman wanted more than anything to defend its Division IV state title. But, there was no doubt when the Lady Cavaliers walked off the floor after a marathon five-set loss to St. Henry Saturday, they were champions. See Page 9.

Ohio State beats Indiana, 34-20 Luke Fickell waited all day for a big turnover. With just over 4 minutes left and the Buckeyes holding on to a tenuous sevenpoint lead against Indiana, it finally came. See Page 10.

All of the big bodies in their way, all of the bruising hits, the pushing and shoving for extra yardage, all of the heart, soul and effort. All of the action on the field, and a small, yellow piece of cloth was what put an end to MiltonUnion’s season. A roughing-the-punter call on fourth-and-13 with 3:04 left in a battle between the No. 8 Bulldogs and the No. 1 Waynesville Spartans allowed the host team to keep possession and run out the clock Saturday night as Waynesville (11-0) held on to beat Milton-Union 21-17 in a war of a Division IV, Region 16

WAYNESVILLE quarterfinal matchup at Waynesville High School. With Milton-Union senior running back Jake Finfrock gashing the Spartan defense all second-half long, the last thing Waynesville wanted to do was give the Bulldogs a chance to drive again only trailing by four. But a fumbled snap on first-and10 from the 50 set the Spartans back 10 yards, and a short run and an incompletion later and the Spartans found themselves in a position to do just that. The Bulldogs brought everything they had in an attempt to block the kick – and one of them bowled over the kicker. “That’s a tough call to make in that situation,” Milton-Union

coach Bret Pearce said. “I’m glad I’m not the referee that has to make that call and end someone’s season. “If that call’s not made, we get the ball back and have a chance to win this game.” But Waynesville kept possession, picked up two more first downs and bled the final three minutes off the clock to advance to the next round. It may not have been a fitting way for the Bulldogs’ season to end, but the game itself was a perfect testament to their desire to win and willingness to outwork everyone in their way and overcome any obstacle to do it. The Bulldogs (8-3) lost to the same Spartans 49-21 two short weeks ago. They had a chance to tie the score early in the second

half but came away with nothing, and Waynesville and quarterback Luke Creditt ran off 21 unanswered in the second half to seal it. Saturday’s game started much the same way as the first one, with Waynesville chewing up big yards on its first possession – 43 of them on a completion from Creditt to Matt Hussey – and Hussey took it in around the edge from 6 yards out on the next play to give the Spartans an early 7-0 edge. But Milton-Union showed it had learned a few new tricks since the first time. After Clay Minton recovered a Waynesville fumble and returned it to the Spartan 45, sophomore quarterback London

Bayne gets first win at Texas FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — Trevor Bayne earned his first career NASCAR Nationwide victory after he passed dominating teammate Carl Edwards following a tremendous restart with seven laps remaining Saturday at Texas. Bayne won the Daytona 500 this year but had never won in his previous 76 Nationwide starts in the series where he is a regular for Roush Fenway Racing. “It’s been a long time coming,” Bayne said. “That ending there was cool to get to go up against Carl Edwards and Denny

Hamlin. … Right before that last caution, I didn’t think we were going to have a shot because we were about half a track behind Carl. I thought the car was good, but I just didn’t think we’d have enough time.” Edwards, the Cup points leader, led 157 of 200 laps at the 1-mile, high-banked track. He was still in front when Jason Leffler hit the wall and brought out the final caution. Bayne was then fourth. After helping push Edwards forward on the restart, Bayne was able to get around Hamlin, who then passed Edwards and

finished second while filling in for Kyle Busch. Bayne was confident his car would be strong for a short run after the last restart. He led only the final six laps, the fewest laps led for a Nationwide winner at Texas, and won with an average speed of 143.464 mph. “We had gained three or four spots every restart all day,” he said. “With us being in fourth position, that was about the number of cars we could pass and we were just able to get a great restart. … We had enough power to get by (Hamlin) and able to get to the bottom and get on

Carl’s left rear a little bit and get by him.” Bayne’s victory was owner Jack Roush’s 299th NASCAR win and secured Ford’s third manufacturing championship in the series. Nationwide points leader Ricky Stenhouse finished sixth and has a 17-point lead over Elliott Sadler with two races to go. Sadler, who came in 15 points back, finished ninth after running ahead of Stenhouse for much of the race. “That’s better than where we were when we came in and that’s really all we can ask for,” Stenhouse said.

Bulldogs ■ CONTINUED FROM A7 Cowan hit Alex King on a 24-yard pass, then after one short run he dropped it off to Tyler Brown on a screen pass, and Brown sprinted 27 yards down the field to tie the score. “The first time we played, we didn’t play well and they did, and that led to the lopsided score,” Pearce said. “Tonight, our boys played hard. We hit hard and we fought for 48 minutes. “We knew we had to make some adjustments in the passing game to spread them out a little. We hit some passes early, and maybe that opened up some lanes for our guys to run through.” After the teams traded punts, though, Waynesville went on a nine-play, 68 yard drive, converting on a fourth-and-1 from the Milton-Union 47 with Creditt plowing forward on a sneak then finishing it off with an 11-yard hookup from Creditt to Ty Black. But Creditt — who torched the Bulldogs for more than 200 yards rushing, 200 yards passing and six total touchdowns in the first meeting — was held largely in check Saturday. While his incompletions in the first game could have been counted on one hand, Saturday he was 11 for 23 for 209 yards — 146 of those in the first half. Milton-Union, meanwhile, fought back in the second half, cashing in after another Waynesville fumble – this time in the end zone. Creditt hit

Hussey on a short pass at the Milton 9, but the Bulldogs knocked it out of his hands and into their own end zone, recovering it for a touchback. They then went 80 yards on eight plays, capped off on a 28-yard touchdown by Finfrock to tie the score. And after a short punt and a couple of quality runs by Finfrock, Nick Fields gave the Bulldogs their first lead over Waynesville at 17-14 with 10:08 to play on a 35-yard field goal. But Waynesville answered quickly, as Creditt hit Black streaking down the sideline for a 50-yard touchdown pass to make it 21-17 with 8:24 to go. Black then intercepted a pass and the Spartans took over at the 37 – and never let go of the ball again. Thanks to a little, yellow piece of cloth. Finfrock finished with 111 yards on 21 carries – 84 of them coming in the second half – and one touchdown, and Cowan finished his first varsity start 6 for 12 for 76 yards with a touchdown and a pair of interceptions. “We have 16 seniors, and they’re the heart of this team,” Pearce said. “We’re going to return a lot of kids, but it was the leadership of this senior class that made this team what it is. We’re definitely going to miss them. “This was a much better representation of Bulldog football than the first time.”

Owners, players try again to close money gap NEW YORK (AP) — NBA owners and players are trying again to end the lockout before it can do further damage to an alreadyshortened schedule. They resumed negotiations Saturday with federal mediator George Cohen, who faced a difficult task in trying to help the sides close the financial gap that derailed talks again last week. The two sides met for more than five hours, as Hall of Famer and Charlotte owner Michael Jordan, plus Portland billionaire owner Paul Allen joined the bargaining, along with the usual owners’ labor relations committee. Both are believed to be hardliners who want to offer the players an economic deal even worse than the proposal they already have rejected. Owners are determined not to give players anything more than a 50-50 split of basketball-related income. Players, who were guaranteed 57 percent under the old collective bargaining agreement, have proposed a reduction to 52.5 percent, leaving the sides about $100 million apart annually based on last season’s revenues. Talks broke down last Friday when neither

side would budge. Commissioner David Stern then canceled all games through November and warned that future owners’ proposals could be made with their “extraordinary” losses from the missed games in mind. A number of owners would favor that. A person briefed on the owners’ position Friday told The Associated Press that there were many hardline owners who want a deal at 53-47 in their favor plus a hard cap, and that the rest wouldn’t go beyond a 50-50 split. Some issues related to the salary cap system remain, but the BRI split has emerged as a more significant obstacle. Talks have broken off each of the last two times the sides discussed it, including the previous time Cohen took part. They met for three straight days with him last month before players said owners insisted they accept a “take it or leave it” 50-50 split before any further discussions of the system. Allen made a rare appearance that day, and union officials said they believed his presence served as a message from the hardliners that there maybe no further economic compromise.

A gang of Troy defensive players combine to bring down an Upper Arlington rusher during a playoff game in Hilliard on Saturday.

Trojans

Nick James runs the ball. ■ CONTINUED FROM A7 They just came up a little bit short.” About 12 inches, to be exact. Tied at 14-14 at the end of regulation, the two teams went into overtime. Upper Arlington got the ball first, and on the first play of overtime, Golden Bears fullback Gus Ackley scored on a 20-yard run — his second touchdown of the game — and Bobby Hamilton kicked the extra point to put Upper Arlington up 21-14. Troy then took over at the 20, needing to tie to send the game into a second overtime or score a touchdown and convert the two-point conversion for the win. On its fourth play, senior halfback Marcus Foster bulled his way in from 3 yards out to cut Upper Arlington’s lead to 21-20. Rather than attempt an extra point to tie the game, the Trojans elected to go for the win. Troy had already missed an extra point earlier in the game and a 35-yard field goal attempt at the end of regulation that would have won the game. Halfback Isaiah Williams got the ball on a counter and made a mad dash for the end zone. He was grabbed just short of the end zone and spun to the ground. His head and shoulders landed across the goal line, but the ball, which was cradled in his arms, was just short, giving the Golden Bears the victory. “We felt like we had to go for the win,” Nolan said. “These kids had worked so hard to get to

Troy’s Marcus Foster makes a move on an Upper Arlington defender. that point — we wanted to give them a chance to win it. We had an opportunity, but just couldn’t convert.” That was the story of the night for the Trojans, who had multiple opportunities to win the game — and controlled the contest for much of the night — but couldn’t convert when it mattered most. Three times during regulation the Trojans were able to drive the ball inside the Upper Arlington 30 — but all three times the Golden Bears stiffened and turned Troy away without any points. “Mistakes and penalties killed us,” Nolan said. “We knew we couldn’t have those types of things happen to us against a team like that. When you’ve got the chance to score, you have to be able to take advantage of it.” It wasn’t for lack of effort, however. Against a team that featured no less than a half-dozen future Division I college players, Troy moved the ball on offense and consistently came up with big plays on defense. Troy took the early

lead on a 19-yard run by Williams on its second drive of the game. Upper Arlington would score on runs by Ackley and Jared Drake, however, to take a 14-6 lead into halftime. The game appeared to turn midway through the third quarter, however, when Troy took over at its own 12 after an Upper Arlington punt and promptly marched 88 yards to tie the game. Williams got things started with a 23-yard run, then Trojan quarterback Cody May hooked up with receiver Devin Blakely on a 39-yard pass. Three plays later, Foster scored the first of his two touchdowns on a 3-yard run. On the two-point conversion attempt, May hooked up with Ian Dunaway to tie the game at 14. Troy would suffer a serious blow on that drive, however, as starting guard Cody Zeller was hurt and unable to return to the game. His absence would be felt the remainder of the game. “We were running out of bodies,” Nolan said. “Not having Zeller in there really hurt us the rest of the night.”

Upper Arlington would drive down to the Trojan 21 midway through the fourth quarter and appeared to be on the verge of taking the lead. A fumble and a sack by the Trojan defense forced a punt, however, and the Trojans got the ball at their own 19 with 5:48 left to play. Under a heavy rush from the Upper Arlington defense, May was able to complete a pair of long passes to Dunaway, then, on fourth-and-12, hooked up with Williams for a 17-yard gain down to the Upper Arlington 18 with seven seconds left in the game. Troy lined up for a field goal that would have won the game, but it sailed 1 foot — a recurring theme for the Trojans — wide left, sending the game into overtime. From there, Upper Arlington had that fateful goal-line stand to end Troy’s season. “You can’t say enough about the way these kids played,” Nolan said. “They left it all out there on the field.” Which is something no final measurement could possibly portray.

I came back with a vengeance. This feels great.” Wharton looked much more like himself on Saturday, hanging with leader — and favorite — senior Tsehaye Hiluf of Reynoldsburg for most of the race, before losing ground to him in the final leg of the race. “He was able to get some separation with about the one kilometer left,” Wharton said. Hiluf went on to win the race in a time of 15:21.52, while Wharton didn’t finish too far behind him, coming in with remarkable time of 15:24.98 — making him the

A lot of things crossed through Wharton’s mind as he found himself in a neckand-neck battle with Hiluf nearing the two-mile mark, but he found comfort in reciting some of his favorite quotes in his head. “I just kept thinking of all the inspirational quotes I could think of in my head,” Wharton said. And what was the quote that fueled him the most? “Sometimes you’ve got to want to succeed so bad, you’re going to forget to eat,” Wharton said. Wharton proved he wanted it on Saturday, and heading into next year, if everything goes right, he may be the clear cut favorite to win the Division I state title. Either way, he can check all of those names off his list this time around. Dublin Coffman won the state title as a team (101 points), while Cleveland St. Ignatius was second (120).

• M-U Places 13th Milton-Union was the only Miami County team to reach state, qualifying with a fourth-place finish in the Division II race at regional. The Bulldogs knew the competition was fierce heading into Saturday, already getting a glimpse of the clear-cut favorite, Springfield Shawnee, which ran away with the title at regional. Yet, Milton-Union coach Michael Meredith remained optimistic, with hopes of cracking into the top 10 at state, for no Milton team had finished outside the top 10 at state under his watch. The Bulldogs, however, went on to place 13th overall, racking up a total of 289 points. “We ran our average race — which is not a bad race — it was just an average race, and you can’t do that at state,” Meredith said. Still, Milton had some solid individual performances on the day time-wise, as senior Sergei Brubaker ran

Lehman falls to St. Henry

Vikings

BY ROB KISER Ohio Community Media rkiser@dailycall.com TIPP CITY — Lehman wanted more than anything to defend its Division IV state title. But, there was no doubt when the Lady Cavaliers walked off the floor after a marathon five-set loss to St. Henry Saturday, they were champions. And the final score of 25-13, 25-17, 21-25, 20-25, 15-12 at Tippecanoe High School doesn’t really tell the story. Down 2-1 and 17-8 in the fourth game against the No. 1 team in the state would have finished most teams — but Lehman didn’t bat an eye. With Lindsey Spearman sparking things from the service line, the Lady Cavaliers went on a 17-3 run to finish the fourth game and had the lead midway through the fifth game. “That just shows you how much heart these girls have,” Lehman coach Greg Snipes said. “I am so proud of them. To lose the first two games and be down 178 We just had one bad streak in the fifth game.” With the Redskins leading 17-8 and seemingly on the verge of closing out the match, Paxton Hatcher had a big kill and Spearman stepped to the service line and served 10 straight points, with St. Henry burning both of its timeouts during the run. She had three aces in the run, while Morgan Schmitmeyer had two kills and Ellie Cain added one. “That was just a great rotation for us,” Snipes said. “I kept thinking she was going to serve one out, as aggressive as she was serving, but she never did. She took them out of their offense.” Kills by Schmitmeyer and Waldsmith for sideouts gave Lehman a 21-19 lead. Then Cain had an ace, Andrea Thobe pounded two kills and Schmitmeyer finished things with a tip at 24-20 to force a fifth game. Included in that run were some amazing digs by Lehman libero Erica Paulus. “We had a great defensive match, but Erica (Paulus) was just incredible,” Snipes said. “She had the best defensive match I have seen by someone in a long time. There was hardly a ball hit in her area that she didn’t get a touch on.” Her best dig of the match came early in the fifth game, getting a touch on the ball that seemed destined for the floor.

That led to a kill by Schmitmeyer to give Lehman a 2-1 lead and Lehman was still up 8-7, when St. Henry went on a fatal 7-1 run to reach match point at 14-9. “They had a big run there,” Snipes said. “They had some strong attacks and we had a couple mistakes.” Ironically, after pounding a kill herself to make it 14-10, it was Spearman again standing at the service line. And after a spike by Hatcher and a return wide it was 14-12 and it appeared fate might be on Lehman’s side. But a Lady Cavalier block attempt went wide ending the match and an impressive run for the defending champs. “It was 14-9 and it looked like it was over,” Snipes said. “Lindsey got us back into the match. You can’t say enough about the way she served at the end.” It was all St. Henry at the start of the match, as the Lady Redskins rolled to a 25-13 win in the opening set. Lehman started to find its game in the second set and was tied 10-10 before some unforced errors allowed St. Henry to pull away. “We had it at 10 and then St. Henry went on a run,” Snipes said. “We just couldn’t put any kind of a run together.” With Paxton Hatcher giving the Lady Cavaliers an emotional spark with her play in the middle, Lehman found themselves in the third set. “It is probably the best match Paxton (Hatcher) has played,” Snipes said. “She is an undersized middle, but they couldn’t stop her. She stayed aggressive the whole match.” At 15-15, Lehman would finish on a 10-6 run, sparked by four straight points from Ellie Waldsmith, including an ace, a kill by Spearman and a spike by Thobe. An ace by Thobe and kills by Spearman, Schmitmeyer and Cain made it 24-17. St. Henry got within 24-21, before a kill by Cain gave Lehman the set and set up an epic comeback. “We played really well the third game,” Snipes said. “And then the fourth game — that was just amazing to be able to come back and win that game.” Hatcher led the hitter with 13 kills, while Schmitmeyer added 12. Waldsmith had 10 kills and 15 digs, while Thobe had 10 kills and 30 assists.

■ CONTINUED FROM A7 them going on runs,” Miami East captain Abby Cash said. “We just got our heads together.” “We all knew we weren’t playing our best,” said sophomore Sam Cash. “We just decided to put everything behind us and start playing our best. We just have the ability to flip a switch like that to turn it on.” Down 20-16 in the first game, Fenwick couldn’t handle Angie Mack’s serve, giving the Vikings the chance to go on the offensive. Abby Cash banged down two straight kills and Kelsey Vanchure tied the score at 20-20, but a tip-over by the Falcon setter gave them back the edge. But Abby Cash scored another kill and Allison Morrett served the final four points of the game, with an Abby Cash push to the back corner sealing it. And down 17-10 in the second, a service error and a block by Leah Dunivan got the Vikings back into the game, then a kill by Sam Cash kicked off a four-point run that was capped off by a kill by Mack to tie the score at 18-18. After a service error by the Vikings, Dunivan scored a quick-hit kill in the middle to tie it again, and a pair of Fenwick errors gave the Vikings a more comfortable edge. With the score 23-22 East, Fenwick missed a serve and Abby Cash wrapped up the game with a kill. Abby Cash had a teamhigh nine kills, 16 assists, nine digs and an ace, Mack had seven kills, five digs and two aces, Sam Cash had six kills, 13 assists, seven digs and an ace, Vanchure had six kills and a dig and Dunivan had five kills, two blocks and five digs to lead the offense. “Mental toughness. That was the difference,” John Cash said. “We got down by four or five points in those first two games, but the girls never got down. We regrouped. We started making shots when we needed to make them. “They tried to give us a little of our own medicine, pushing the corners – and we like that. We feel like we do that better than anyone else. Give them credit, though. They used some things that maybe Anna exposed Wednesday with some tips and hitting some zones and built on what Anna did. Both coaching staffs are very familiar with each other and with the girls. Yoon (Ha) is a great coach, and we knew we would get Fenwick’s best effort.” But while the Falcons had trouble closing in the first two games, the Vikings had no such issues. Miami East held a slim advantage throughout the third game until Fenwick

a 16:57.90 to place 41st overall and fellow senior Logan Jackson netted a time of 17:12.60, which was good enough for 63rd place. Senior Cory Klosterman placed 100th overall in a time of 17:43.46, while senior Matt Howard ran a 17:59.45 to place 113th. All of those runners end their careers in the race that had eluded them for the first three years of high school. “The seniors were happy with it,” Meredith said. “Running in the state race is a great way to go out, you know, qualifying for the state championship is reward enough. The four seniors have been on varsity all four years — they’ve been in our program for four years. Unfortunately, the seniors don’t get another chance.” But those seniors, along with Troy Tyree (115th, 18:01.43), Kyle Swartz (137th, 18:38.65) and Connor Lundsford (143rd, 18:48.07), will be forever known as the Milton boys team that finally got over

the hump and into the state meet. Springfield Shawnee was the team champion (101 points), while Akron St. Vincent-St. Mary placed second (114). Napoleon’s Steven Weaver won the race handily, running a 15:25.09 to beat the second place Abel Flores of Defiance by 16 seconds (15:41.53). • TC’s Klingler 39th Troy Christian senior Kyle Klingler — a first time state qualifier — was hoping to cap off his senior season on a good note in Saturday’s Division III race. Klingler had hopes of earning All-Ohio honors and breaking the Troy Christian school record for fastest time ever (16:26). Though he did not get either of those honors, Klingler did end his career on a positive note, establishing a new Troy Christian record for best time recorded at the state meet, running a 16:50.50 to place 39th overall. “That was my third best time of the season,” Klingler

said. “This was a great course, a great atmosphere to run in. So I’m happy with the way I finished my career.” Klingler improved his time in each week of the postseason, as he ran a 17:16.08 at district, then followed with a 16:51.80 at regional. Despite that, Troy Christian coach Jeff McDaniel and Klingler both believed he was capable of running a stronger last mile. And Klingler proved his coach right on Saturday. “That last mile, I was out there running on pure adrenaline and the fans were just insane,” Klingler said. “But I picked up about 20 spots in the last mile. I knew I had to go. It was the last race of my career.” A fitting final mile to end a great career. Sam Prakel of Versailles won the race, with a time of 15:19.34 in a race that had six guys run below 16-minMcDonald was utes. crowned Division III champion (64 points), while Independence placed second, scoring a total of 116 points.

Then the Vikings exploded, tearing off 11 of the next 13 points to take a 22-13 lead. One point in particular was classic Miami East – a ridiculously long rally featuring plenty of stellar saves and quality chances by both teams. At one point, both Abby and Sam Cash were either on their knees or lying on the floor, with one making the original save and the other keeping it alive for someone else to push over. After the ball crossed the net 23 times, the Vikings finally forced the Falcons into an error. “We knew we couldn’t let it hit the floor. It was all so close to being over,” Abby Cash said. “It was an intense moment – and when you win those points, you get all the momentum.” “Once we get a good point like that, the crowd gets into it,” Vanchure said. “I think they’ve helped us the most. The fans have been amazing.” After a Fenwick error made it 23-14, the Vikings’ student section – which has consistently been bigger and louder than their opposition’s throughout the tournament – began chanting “We are state-bound!” And after a miniature 5-1 run by the Falcons, Vanchure – the team’s only senior – made good on their

Cash said. “We scout and make sure we’re prepared in that way, but we feel like if we do our job on our side of the net, we should win every match. The girls never got down today. I’m very proud of them all. “The girls have been looking forward to this game all year. We knew it’d be Fenwick we’d have to beat for the regional title to get to state. The girls knew. And they were hungry for it.”

Bucks blast Indiana, 34-20 COLUMBUS (AP) — Luke Fickell waited all day for a big turnover. With just over 4 minutes left and the Buckeyes holding on to a tenuous sevenpoint lead against Indiana, it finally came. Braxton Miller ran for two scores including a record 81-yarder and Travis Howard ended Indiana’s last chance at tying it with an interception, leading Ohio State to a 34-20 victory on Saturday. Not until Howard picked off Tre Roberson’s pass over the middle at the Ohio State 28 with 4:07 left were the Buckeyes assured of the win. “That was the one thing that you keep staring at, looking out there: Man, we’ve got to get a turnover. We’ve got to get a turnover,” said Fickell, the Buckeyes’

interim head coach. “It wasn’t until the very end of the game that we came up with it.” Indiana had driven from its own 28 and faced a second-and-1 when Howard made his big play. “I locked eyes with the receiver and the quarterback,” Howard said. “I was just, like, ‘There’s no way he’s going to throw that pass.’ I was able to run over there and make a great interception.” Roberson, who like Miller is a freshman, took the blame. “I was trying to get it to (the medium receiver),” said Roberson, who rushed for 70 yards and completed 11 of 21 passes for 174 yards and a score. “But it was a bad ball by me. It was all my fault.” Moments later, Carlos

Hyde added a clinching score on a 2-yard run and the Buckeyes (6-3, 3-2 Big Ten) had their third win in a row to remain in solid contention in the Leaders Division despite an 0-2 start in the conference and a season fraught with suspensions and the possibility of NCAA sanctions. Three Buckeyes topped 100 yards rushing: Dan Herron with 141 yards on 14 carries, Hyde with 105 on 15 and Miller with 105 on 14. It was the first time Ohio State had three runners over 100 since Scottie Graham, Carlos Snow and Dante Lee did it in 1989 against Northwestern. The Buckeyes totaled 346 rushing yards on 46 attempts. It was another learning experience for the young Hoosiers (1-9, 0-6), who lost

their seventh in a row. “We didn’t need to play perfect to beat those guys,” coach Kevin Wilson said. “But we did need to play up to our potential.” After fighting to a 13-13 stalemate at the half, the teams traded scores. The Buckeyes took leads of 20-13 and 27-20 in the third quarter, the first when Herron danced outside to cover the last 15 yards before edging inside the left pylon to make it 20-13. Miller helped the Buckeyes regain the lead when, on third and goal at the Indiana 20, he raced up the middle through a gaping hole on a draw and faked out the last defender, Mark Murphy, who never got a hand on him.

Staff and Wire Reports GREENSBURG, Pa. – The Urbana Blue Knights (7-3) set a new school record for wins in a season Saturday, scoring 40 unanswered points in the second and third quarters to knock off Seton Hill 40-21. Urbana quarterback D.J. Mendenhall did a little of everything. He threw touchdown passes of 31 and 67 yards to Joe Webb, scored on runs of 23 and 6 yards and even caught an 11-yard touchdown pass from Evan Gehlert. All told, Mendenhall was 19 for 25 for 313 yards passing and added 69 yards rushing on 13 attempts. Milton-Union High School graduate Kyle Wallace started at center for Urbana. Wofford 42, Western Carolina 24 CULLOWHEE , N.C. – The Wofford Terriers jumped out to a 21-0 lead and never looked back Saturday, routing Western Carolina 42-24 to improve to 7-2 on the season, 5-1 in the SoCon. Johnson Donovan rushed for 136 yards and two touchdowns on 10 carries, Eric Breitenstein added 112 yards and a score on 16 carries and Mitch Allen had 95 yards and a touchdown on nine attempts as the Terriers piled up 500 rushing yards. Troy High School graduate T.J. White played for Wofford. Wabash 28, Wittenberg 17 CRAWFORDSVILLE, Ind. – A 21-point lead at the end of the first half proved to be enough for Wabash Saturday as it defeated visiting Wittenberg 28-17. The Tigers (7-2) managed only 156 yards of offense against Wabash,

with only 10 yards on the ground. Quarterback Ben Zoeller was 15 for 27 for 146 yards but was sacked four times and threw an interception. Tecumseh High School graduate Josh McKee was his leading receiver with six catches for 55 yards. Wabash quarterback Chase Belton was 10 for 17 for 126 yards, including a 21-yard touchdown pass to Wes Chamblee, and had 88 yards on the ground and two touchdowns on 20 carries. All three of those scores came in the first half, and a blocked punt recovery for a touchdown by Sean Hildebrand in the fourth quarter sealed the win.

The hosts converted three Rock turnovers into 13 points during a seven-minute span late in the third quarter and early in the fourth quarter to erase a 20-7 halftime deficit and deny SRU the outright division championship. As the result of the loss, SRU (8-2 overall, 61 PSAC-West), which saw a six-game win streak come to an end and, was forced to share the PSAC-West title with California (8-2, 6-1). Milton-Union graduate Kurt Brackman was 3 for 3 on point-afters and kicked field goals of 24 and 31 yards for Slippery Rock, but he also had a 30-yard attempt blocked.

Jacobson leads in Shanghai SHANGHAI (AP) — Starting the third round with the lead, Fredrik Jacobson kept his mistakes to a minimum, knocked in long birdie putts on consecutive holes and wound up with a 5-under 67 and a twoshot lead Saturday. It still wasn’t enough to shake a world-class leaderboard at the HSBC Champions. The final World Golf Championship of the year is living up to its billing. Jacobson broke the tournament 54-hole record at 16-under 200 as he tries to win for the second time this year.

Louis Oosthuizen was second after a 68 at Sheshan International. Adam Scott was third at 13 under. Despite growing controversy of his caddie Steve Williams’ racial slur about Tiger Woods at a private party, Scott went on a birdie-birdie-eagle finish to salvage a 69. Right behind them were U.S. Open champion Rory McIlroy (65) and former world No. 1 Lee Westwood (67) at 12under 204, with former U.S. Open champion Graeme McDowell (67) and former PGA champion Martin Kaymer (68) another shot back.

Northwestern pulls upset over Nebraska, 28-25 CORVALLIS, Ore. (AP) — Andrew Luck shook off the rain and the chill to throw for 206 yards and three touchdowns as Stanford extended the nation’s longest winning streak to 17 games. The victory was costly for the Cardinal, who lost senior receiver Chris Owusu to a concussion in the second quarter after a helmet-tohelmet collision with Beavers cornerback Jordan Poyer. Owusu was taken from the field by ambulance. The Cardinal (9-0, 7-0 Pac-12) are off to their best start since 1952. Redshirt freshman Sean Mannion threw for 252 yards and a touchdown for Oregon State (2-7, 2-4), which is guaranteed a losing season with the defeat. The Beavers’ only wins have come against Arizona and Washington State. No. 7 Oklahoma 41, Texas A&M 25 NORMAN, Okla. — Landry Jones threw two touchdown passes during Oklahoma’s 28-point thirdquarter surge, but the Sooners lost All-America receiver Ryan Broyles for the year with a knee injury. Broyles came out in the third quarter and the school announced after the game the senior had torn a ligament in his left knee. He had two catches for 87 yards and both helped set up touchdowns. The Sooners (8-1, 5-1 Big 12) led just 13-10 at halftime, but Texas A&M (5-4, 33) had its second-half troubles continue the Aggies gave up big second-half leads in its previous three losses. The Aggies, headed for the Southeastern Conference, won’t miss coming to Norman. They’re now 0-7 on Owen Field during the Bob Stoops era; the previous six losses had come by an average of 41 points. Northwestern 28, No. 9 Nebraska 25 LINCOLN, Neb. — Second-string quarterback Kain Colter ran for two touchdowns and passed for another to lead Northwestern to an upset. Filling in for injured starter Dan Persa in the second half, Colter scored from the 1 with 1:34 left to finish a 13-play, 66-yard drive that chewed more than 7 minutes off the clock after the Cornhuskers had pulled to 21-18. Taylor Martinez, who passed for 289 yards and two scores, hurriedly moved Nebraska (7-2, 3-2 Big Ten) down the field. He hit Kenny Bell for a 14-yard touchdown with 18 seconds to play, but Charles Brown recovered the onside kick and Northwestern (4-5, 2-4) ran out the clock. Persa injured his left shoulder in the second quarter when he was slammed to the ground by Eric Martin. Colter ran for 58 yards and completed four of six

Today’s Highlight: On Nov. 6, 1861, Confederate President Jefferson Davis was elected to a six-year term of office. On this date: In 1860, former Illinois congressman Abraham Lincoln defeated three other candidates for the presidency: John Breckinridge, John Bell and Stephen Douglas.

In 1888, Benjamin Harrison won the presidential election, defeating incumbent Grover Cleveland with enough electoral votes, even though Cleveland led in the popular vote. In 1928, in a first, the results of Republican Herbert Hoover’s election victory over Democrat Alfred E. Smith were flashed onto an electric wraparound sign on the New York Times building. In 1956, President Dwight D. Eisenhower won re-election, defeating Democrat Adlai E.

Stevenson. In 1977, 39 people were killed when the Kelly Barnes Dam burst, sending a wall of water through Toccoa Falls College in Georgia.

Residents take the time to thank fathers, mothers, sons, daughters, uncles, aunts, brothers, sisters

Veteran Don Meek carries a banner during a recent parade in downtown Troy. BY KATIE YANTIS Staff Writer kyantis@tdnpublishing.com

hey are the ones with aged skin, gray hair, new high school degrees and blisters from lacing up their boots. They are the parents, children, uncles, aunts, cousins, brothers and sisters that put themselves in the back seat to a greater cause.

No matter the age, old or young, there are veterans all around. Friday, Nov. 11, is the day that all residents, standing alongside them get to say “Thank You” for the way of life each and every American leads. Veterans Day As approaches on Friday there are celebrations far and wide that will take place to show the men and women who have, are and will serve the United States of America that all of those they stand in front of appreciate and honor them. Forest Elementary principal Alan Zunke said the staff and students at his school have already started the celebration. “We have a theme right now of patriotism because of Election Day and Veterans Day,” Zunke said. “We had an assembly Monday that focused on Veterans Day and we had a four-minute video that talked about veterans. It helps the kids understand what Veterans Day is about.” He said the celebration won’t stop there, and added how important it is for students to learn the significance of the day at a young age. “I think it’s critical for students to understand what a great country we live in, but the freedoms we enjoy come at a cost,” Zunke said. “The veterans are our heroes that have paid that cost for us. We certainly try and build character every day of the school year, but we want to focus in this time of year on what the veterans have done for us. Hopefully, we will see that pride continue not just this week and next week, but throughout their lifetimes.” Miami Valley Veteran Museum curator Terry Purke said the museum is striving to preserve not only physical memories of veterans past, present and future, but also the people. “The main thing about our museum is our focus is on the person who served,” Purke said. “If we get a uniform that someone wore, we are very concerned to preserve not just the fact that it is a uniform, but that it is a certain person’s uniform. When people look at that they relate to that.” He said the museum strives to honor those who have been in the service and those who supported them. “Our goal is to have a space here in downtown Troy that is a veterans museum,

Veterans Day Nov. 11 something that commemorates the service of all who have served in the military and their families, and all the people who have supported them,” Purke said. “Also, because of the recent turn of events where terrorism affects us all, we want to pay tribute to first responders, who were called on and many lost their lives and also people who are first responders, fire, and police who may in the future be called upon.” He said the museum started in 2009, has moved to a downtown location at 107 W.

“ Members on an Honor Guard render a salute during a Veterans Day ceremony at Riverside Cemetery in November 2010. “It gives the veterans a place where they can come and share experiences,” Purke said. “We are not just holding physical memories, but we will be holding programs for school-age kids and the veterans will play a big part in that. It’s also a time for them to tell their stories. We are going to provide them that opportunity.” After receiving a grant from the Troy Foundation and moving, Purke said the museum has received a facelift and will have a rededication ceremony Friday. The ceremony will be outside the courthouse, weather permitting at 2 p.m. Following the ceremony there will be an open house at the museum. Troy Mayor Mike Beamish will celebrate the veterans around town Friday and said it is important for area residents to follow in his footsteps. “Certainly, Veterans Day is one of those wonderful days when we can honor the defenders of our freedom and our country through the

decades,” Beamish said. “It’s an opportunity to recognize and celebrate our heroes, past, present and yet to come and we can do that in so many ways. One of those ways is to observe Veterans Day as a day to honor those who protect our freedoms.” Operation Welcome Home 2011 Dayton organizer Cindy Antrican and AAA representative said she and those at the American Veterans Institute in Tipp City want all veterans, but specifically Vietnam vets, to know they are invited to attend the special event that will run Thursday through Sunday. The event was started to recognize Vietnam veterans the way they should have been recognized when they came home from the war. She said there was a group that traveled to Kentucky for a Welcome Home ceremony that recognizes Vietnam veterans for their service and she was determined to bring it to Dayton. “For some of them, it was

IT HAPPENED YEARS AGO BY PATRICK D. KENNEDY For the Troy Daily News 25 Years Ago: Nov. 6-19, 1986 • MIAMI COUNTY — There is a mystery afoot at Dettmer Hospital. It is not a case of a disappearing patient, or what the cause of death was, but rather what is setting off the fire alarm at the hospital. The Troy and Covington Fire Departments have answered 19 false alarms at the Dettmer this year, but it is not a new problem. It began in 1983 when a new alarm system was installed at the hospital and the system seemed to trigger itself at various times. No one has been able to fully discover what initiates the system so many times. Chief Counts believes some of the issues may be individuals smoking in the bathroom or other restricted areas, but this is hard to pin down. Last year the hospital drew 23 false alarms, but they are on pace to break that number this year. The concerns are becoming complacent when a call is received from Dettmer and the expenditure for those runs. This is one mystery the fire department would like to solve. 50 Years Ago: Nov. 6-19, 1961 • COVINGTON — “Shock and Surprise” is how the victor Ralph E. Boggs described his thoughts when told that he was the winner of the race to be Covington’s mayor. Mr. Boggs’ victory was surprising in three ways. First, Boggs, in his first election, beat Ned Drees, a popular incumbent who was serving his second term in office; second, his margin of victory was only 25 votes; and third, Mr. Boggs’ is a Democrat, only 1 of 2 elected in the village last night (Nov. 7). We will watch Mr. Boggs’ career with interest. • MIAMI COUNTY — In the first meeting of the 4-H Junior Fair Board Tom Gearhardt was elected as president of the board for 1962.

HIGHLIGHT IN HISTORY 25 Years Ago: Nov. 6-19, 1986 • TROY — Hometown hero Randy Walker, one of the main cogs in the 1970 amd 1971 undefeated Troy High football teams, has learned a lot during his career as a player and now as an assistant coach, but one of the most important truths is if you want something you have to work for it. Walker, who was a talented back in his own right while playing with Gordon Bell and Rob Carpenter, is now an assistant coach with the University North Carolina Tar Heels but still feels he needs to work hard to succeed. Walker does not feel as if he has arrived; rather he needs to continue to work just as hard as he did as a player. As a part of the legendary “Cradle of Coaches” from Miami, he still wants to someday be the head coach of a team. (Columnist’s Note: Randy Walker did become a head coach, both at his alma mater, Miami, where he became the winningest coach in RedHawk history, and at Northwestern University, where he was the second most successful coach in the program’s history. Sadly, Coach Walker passed away in 2006 at the age of 52. He was a great representative of Troy.)

Mr. Sam Cobb, the State commander stated, “The American Legion stands for peace 100 percent based upon adequate defense.” Mr. Cobb further declared the Legion

would work with any group which is honestly working for peace, but gave the example of the Emergency Peace program, whose leaders promote disruption of veteran organizations, as groups which the American Legion would not cooperate with in any form. Mr. Cobb emphasized that the nation desires peace it should not fail to adequately prepare for an attack against it. The banquet was held in the Elks Club dining hall with approximately 100 attendees, many of whom were veterans of the World War. Numerous past commanders of the local post gave brief remarks to the gathering prior to Mr. Cobb’s presentation. • TROY — We have known for years that Troy was a special place to live, but it seems as if there are others who like the city so much they are willing to invest here. Such is the story of the E.W.Fulmer Company, which does not just have one or two grocery establishments here, but four. The Fulmer company recently purchased a fourth location at the corner of McKaig and Monroe street in Troy and has remodeled the storefront and will offer a full line of products to its customers, as with all their locations. The store was purchased from Corwin Mumford, who was

100 Years Ago: Nov. 6-19, 1911 • MIAMI COUNTY — Trying to get ahead by trickery does not work in general, but it especially does not prosper if you have to face Judge Jones in the courtroom. The honorable Judge Jones sentenced three men this week for their crimes of trying to prosper by co-opting the rewards of the labor of another. J.E. Moore was found guilty of embezzling $3,000 from the C.H.&D Railroad and sentenced to 4 years in the state penitentiary. Lee Martin who forged a $1,000 check and plead guilty to the crime was sentenced to 18 months in the penitentiary, while Harry Stambaugh was given an indefinite sentence to the Mansfield Reformatory for stealing a horse at Bradford. These men will have a lot of time to contemplate their crimes and consider their future. • WILBERFORCE — The Miami Athletics, Troy’s wellknown black football team, visited the Wilberforce University on Nov. 10 to engage that school’s 11 in a game. It was a hardfought battle with the university gaining a slight edge and winning 6-0. • TROY — World reknowned evangelist Billy Sunday, who was in the midst of his travelling, stopped in at the New Hotel Troy on Monday, Nov. 6, with his associates and enjoyed a nice lunch prior to leaving for his home in Winona, Ind.

TOWNSHIP — A plan of nefarious activity was foiled by the police and someone with a guilty conscience. The police stated that Mr. John C. Drake, a well-known farmer just south of Piqua, was on his way home Saturday evening with a large roll of money from his market profit when he was sighted by a group of ruffians, who set their minds to a plan that would relieve Mr. Drake of his money. One of the men later had regret in being part of the plan and reported the plot to the police, who then went into action. On the next occasion of Mr. Drake making his way home three masked men jumped out and impeded the progress of the wagon at Dead Man’s Hollow. Unfortunately for the men, four police officers were hiding in the back of the wagon and surpirsed the would-be bandits. The men are now soundly locked away and the Piqua law enforcement officers have added to their reputation. 146 Years Ago: Nov. 6-19, 1865 • TROY — “I have lost somewhere in Troy a half-bound book of fruit tree orders with the name “F. Oaks” on the flyleaf. It is of no value to anyone but me and I would ask the person who found it to leave it at the news office where they will receive a reward for their trouble.” • DAYTON — Residents of the Valley should beware of counterfeit money in the area. We received a report of a gentleman who was recently in the Gem City when he was deceived during a simple transaction. While waiting at the corner of Main and Second streets, a man came out of a store and asked the gentleman if he had change for $10. He was able to provide a $5, a $3, and a $2 for the man. Later, when he needed to use the $10 greenback, he found that it was not a true bill. Beware. Patrick D. Kennedy is archivist at the Troy-Miami County Public Library’s Local History Library, 100 W.

Losing weight is delicate, calorie-balancing act

The greatest myth about calories and losing weight is this: The less you eat, the more you lose. The human body is not so simple. It’s built for the complicated work of survival. It kills foreign invaders, digests all kinds of things that we throw into it. It tries to make sure that we have the energy we need and much, much more. Calories have gotten a bad reputation because of the scores of fad diets that tell us we should eat as few as possible. However, calories are key to survival. Sure, if we eat too many calories we will gain weight, and we don’t want that to get out of hand.

But if we don’t provide enough calories for our body to do its many jobs well, we set ourselves up for weightloss disappointment. The right number of calories can help us lose weight and maintain weight loss. Experts in the field have known for some time that eating enough calories is important for efficient fat loss. Here are just a few of the negative consequences of skimping on calories: • Slowing metabolism. The last thing you want to do when you are trying to lose weight is to slow down your fat-burning mechanism, but eating too few calories does just that. You’re giving your body no choice but to protect its vital functions by conserving energy when you under-eat. This is why people who are undernourished tend to feel cold and lethargic. • Psychological deprivation. When you are calorically deprived, hunger becomes tough to ignore and cravings intensify. It’s next to impossible to stay in this state for long. Before we know it, we make up for under-eating with compulsive eating or bingeing. • Fatigue and lack of energy. Not eating enough

calories decreases our energy levels so we feel weak and unable to exercise, further slowing metabolism and weight loss. • Breakdown of muscle. Muscle burns calories, but not eating enough calories can break down muscle mass. The more muscle we have, the more calories we can eat without storing fat. If we’re eating so few calories that the body has to break down muscle to function, we’re setting ourselves up again to gain rather than lose weight. So the wise person who wants to become leaner will make sure to take in enough calories to keep his or her metabolism burning efficiently, avoid fatigue and deprivation, and prevent muscle breakdown. Figuring out the precise number of calories your body needs requires sophisticated equipment not available to most people. But these general USDA guidelines will get you close enough: • An adult woman who is not physically active has an estimated total calorie need of 1,600-2,000. • An adult man who isn’t physically active has an estimated total calorie need of 2,000-2,400.

Morningstar updates college savings ratings BOSTON (AP) — If you’re trying to save for your child’s college education, it can be daunting to sort through all the investment options. Then consider all the fees and possible tax breaks, and it becomes all the more confusing. However, there are tools to make the process easier. A particularly useful one is offered by Morningstar. The company is best known for its research on mutual funds, but it also rates 529 college savings plans. In the latest update to Morningstar’s annual ratings, six plans earned top marks. BACKGROUND Section 529 college savings plans enable parents to withdraw money for college expenses free of federal taxes, and are named after the federal tax code that created them in 1997.

They’re popular because of the tax benefits they offer, compared with stashing savings in bank accounts or certificates of deposit. Each plan is sponsored by a state that can set its own guidelines. Investors aren’t limited to investing in their own state’s plan. However there is an incentive because about two-thirds of states extend state tax deductions or credits to residents. THE PROCESS Morningstar assesses the best and worst among 58 plans that manage more than 95 percent of the total assets in 529s. The latest ratings update came out last week. Morningstar’s analysts weigh factors including the quality of investment options, investment performance, fund managers’ skills, and costs. The plans are assigned

ratings based on a five-level scale. THE RATINGS Among the six plans that earned top marks, five achieved that rating last year, with Utah the newcomer this year. Here are the top-ranked plans, in alphabetical order, with the sponsoring state, and the plans’ managers: • Alaska’s T. Rowe Price College Savings Plan, managed by T. Rowe Price; • Maryland College Investment Plan, also run by T. Rowe Price; • Nevada’s The Vanguard 529 Savings Plan, managed by Upromise; • Ohio’s CollegeAdvantage 529 Savings Plan, with a mix of managers from various companies; • Utah Educational Savings

Plan, managed by the agency of the same name; • Virginia’s CollegeAmerica, managed by American Funds. Five of the six plans allow accounts to be opened directly through an investment firm or the state plan administrator. The exception is Virginia’s plan, which is sold through financial advisers, and is the nation’s largest 529 plan. Morningstar gave “above average” ratings to 15 plans, “average” to 30 plans, and “below average” to seven. None was assigned a “bottom” rating. Morningstar said that’s because 529 plans have improved. Last year, only Rhode Island’s plan got a “bottom” rating. That state’s CollegeBoundfund plan moved up to “below average” this year. Morningstar cited the plan’s

expanded offering of low-cost Vanguard index funds for Rhode Island residents. DECLINING COSTS Several plans in states such as Georgia, Nebraska and Oklahoma have recently trimmed fees. Morningstar found that the average expense ratio for assets in 529 plans fell to 0.87 percent from 0.94 percent over a recent 10-month period. Those are the ongoing charges paid for operating the plan, expressed as a percentage of assets.

Ketchup OK, except for sugar, salt By Food Network Kitchens Ketchup goes with just about everything: French fries, eggs, hash browns, burgers, deli meats. This red condiment has been touted as being healthy by some, but does that mean we should be using endless amounts of it? Yes? Ketchup is a low-calorie condiment, made from tomatoes, vinegar, salt, pepper and spices. It contains 15 calories per tablespoon and vitamins A and C. Compared with its competitor mayonnaise, ketchup has no fat and far

fewer calories per tablespoon (mayo contains 103 calories, 12 grams fat). This makes it a healthier choice for those trying to cut out extra calories. Processed and cooked tomatoes have been found to have high levels of the antioxidant lycopene. In 2004, a study released from the Harvard School of Public Health revealed that women who had higher levels of lycopene in their blood had a 50 percent lower risk for developing heart disease. That study also proved useful for ketchup manufacturers who got the word out

that their product is “healthy.” No? Ketchup contains two ingredients of concern: salt and sugar. Per tablespoon, ketchup contains 4 grams of sugar and 190 milligrams of sodium. Although that doesn’t seem like a lot of sugar, much of it comes from added sugar, as opposed to the natural sugar found in tomatoes. The same goes for the added salt: 8 tablespoons of ketchup would meet your sodium needs for the entire day. If you like to pour on the red stuff, it’s easy to overload on sodium.

This undated photo courtesy of VisitFayettevilleNC.com shows a display inside the 82nd Airborne Museum at Fort Bragg, N.C. The museum also has an outdoor collection of classic military aircraft, vehicles and artillery.

Military memorabilia Museums offer thrills, noted collections By the Associated Press ilitary museums allow visitors to experience the rough and tumble jerk of a parachute jump, the barked orders of an Army drill sergeant or the segregated training endured by the first African-Americans to enter the Marine Corps. Whether you are a hardened military veteran or one who’s never worn a uniform, several military museums in the Carolinas offer extensive lessons in military service as the Nov. 11 Veterans Day draws near. In Fayetteville, N.C., the soaring Airborne and Special Operations Museum attracts between 120,000 to 175,000 visitors every year and tells the story of how America’s military developed the strategy of dropping fully-armed soldiers into battle from the skies. A 15-foot sculpture of the paratrooper dubbed “Iron Mike” stands guard at its glass-and-girder front entry, which evokes both the 250foot “jump towers” that paratroopers use to train and the wingspan of the C47 aircraft that dropped soldiers onto battlefields in World War II. Located just minutes off Interstate 95 in downtown Fayetteville, N.C., the museum is holding a weeklong celebration in advance of Veterans Day, says Paul Galloway, executive director of the foundation that supported construction of the $25 million building. “We’ll be hopping and popping. We do a salute to veterans every year,” Galloway said. A week of films about the Army and paratroopers will be held the week prior to the holiday, as well as other events to honor military men and women, Galloway said. As soon as you enter the museum, you spot a World War II-era paratrooper in combat gear floating out of the sky under a yellow 28foot-wide parachute. Behind him, another model drops from the heavens, a modern Army Ranger buoyed by a light green, honeycombed parachute used by U.S. Special Forces. A wild ride can be had in the museum’s 24-seat platform motion simulator, recreating the bumps and jumps of parachute drops and rides in military vehicles. To highlight some of the major events of wartime paratroopers, visitors first stroll through a recreated village in Normandy. Recordings from the June

IF YOU GO … • SECURITY: While Fayetteville’s Airborne and Special Operations Museum is not located on a military installation, most others are and that means undergoing required security and document checks. In most cases, driver licenses, photo IDs for adults and proof of car insurance and registration are reviewed at entrance gates if visitors do not have military identification. Visitors may be asked to exit the vehicle, open doors, trunks and engine hoods as security officers check the car. • AIRBORNE & SPECIAL OPERATIONS MUSEUM: 100 Bragg Blvd., Fayetteville, N.C.; http://www.asomf.org or AP PHOTO/ONSLOW COUNTY TOURISM 910-643-2766.

Still Rollin’ Country & bluegrass veteran Ricky Skaggs busier than ever with two new albums and a holiday tour BY JIM DAVIS Staff Writer davis@tdnpublishing.com

icky Skaggs knows a thing or two about making music. During the course of his 50year music career, the Cordell, Ky., native has hit just about every imaginable milestone and won more awards than he can keep track of. And, after 35 albums and thousands of miles in a tour bus, he doesn’t have any intention of slowing down. The 57-year-old multi-instrumentalist released a pair of albums earlier this year, and was named Entertainer of the Year and Musician of the Year Oct. 28 at the 17th annual ICM Faith, Family and Country Awards.

and useful pulp.” Let’s start with a few definitions. According to Hardwick, a nerd is “someone who homes in on a topic to an almost quantum detail, much of the time at the expense of healthy social interaction.” A Nerdist, on the other hand, Hardwick writes, is “an artful Nerd,” someone who “doesn’t just consume,” but “creates and innovates.” In “The Nerdist Way,” the “Web Soup” host, rely-

ing on techniques that have worked in his life, encourages readers to leverage their nerd-tastic attributes into getting the most out of their lives. Yes, the book is written by a nerd for nerds, but really, all of the selfimprovement methods Hardwick suggests would work for almost anybody looking to manage anxiety, get healthier and more physically fit, or advance his or her time management skills. And it’s funny.

All activities except for the REO Speedwagon concert at Hobart Arena are free, but a number count is needed for food and seating capacity reasons. Those interested in attending the Operation Welcome Home ceremony can contact Tammy Baker at AAA by calling 2242817. She said it is important to thank veterans for the service they gave to their country and to all Americans. “We can’t go back and change how they got treated, but we can change what happens tomorrow,” Antrican said. “We have an opportunity now to do the right thing and say ‘thank you.’ It’s not too late. It’s never too late.” This weekend a group of 12 Korean War veterans from the area will get their ‘thank you’ as they are accompanied to Washington, D.C. as part of the Honor Flight program. The program strives to show veterans that they are not and will not be forgotten. The veterans that will be on the trip

Hastings offers tantalizing “what ifs” and how they might have altered the course of the war. He maintains that Hitler erred in launching his bombers against England rather than sending troops to take Egypt and Malta. He also questions the need for the U.S. campaigns in the Philippines, Iwo Jima and Okinawa when strategic bombing and a naval blockade would have sufficed to bring Japan to its knees.

The author minces no words in his assessments of the war’s top military leaders. Gen. Douglas MacArthur comes off as “a vainglorious windbag” and Gen. George Patton as “increasingly deranged.” Hastings assigns high marks to Adm. Chester Nimitz, British Gen. William Slim and Field Marshal Erich von Manstein, “probably Germany’s best general of the war.” No major figure looms larger than Winston Churchill, “the towering personality of the forces of light,” in whose absence Hastings questions whether Britain would have continued to defy Hitler after the fall of France. “Inferno” is a magnificent achievement, a onevolume history that should find favor among readers thoroughly immersed in World War II and those approaching the subject for the first time. As the years thin the ranks of those who fought in the war, Hastings’ balanced and elegantly written prose should help ensure that the bloodshed, bravery and brutality of that tragic conflict aren’t forgotten.

Hilarious, really. Nearly every serious point is followed by either a clever pop culture reference or one of Hardwick’s trademark self-deprecating cracks. “Every year on my birthday I start a new playlist titled after my current age so I can keep track of my favorite songs of the year as a sort of musical diary because I am a teenage girl,” he writes in a section about maintaining a positive outlook and structure in one’s life.

Snyder, one of the residents that will be making the trip this weekend said he is excited about the trip along side his fellow veterans. “I feel really good about it. It will be a good trip because I will be going with a lot of the guys that I know well,” Snyder said. “It makes me pretty proud that they selected me for this trip and it’s a pretty good honor when people do this for you at no cost.” Snyder said he wants his fellow veterans to have a good day time on the Honor Flight and to enjoy the day. “I just hope we all have a good day,” he said. “It will be starting early in the morning and ending late at night so I just hope we have a good day.” Snyder said that he, himself will thank other veterans every chance he gets. “I usually just say ‘thank you, appreciate it.’ I try and do that to anyone, especially Vietnam veterans, if they have a hat on or something and I can walk up to them. I will tell them

‘welcome home,’ because they didn’t get a welcome home either.” Snyder said the stark difference of responses from when he came home from Korea to now makes emotions run high. “It brings tears to your eyes,” Snyder said. “You spend 15 months in a foreign country not knowing what day is going to be your day. It makes me proud to have someone thank you for your service because we were the forgotten warriors. When I came home I seen a fellow on the street I went to school with and he asked me ‘Where the heck have ya been?’ I just told him I had been out of town for a few weeks. Other than my family taking me home, that was it.” He said it’s important for people to honor the people the day is set aside for and to remeber to honor those who served throughout the year, not just on specified days. “We are in a lot of parades because I have a military vehicle and we have two ladies who stand on the street in Piqua at the same corner every year and they thank us,” Snyder said. “We will say thank you back and they will say ‘No, no, ‘thank you.’ It makes it pretty nice and makes you feel better about it.”

HOUSE HUNTING

Six must-haves for mortgage approval Even trade-up buyers, owners of multiple properties hit roadblacks Interest rates fell to new lows in September. Low interest rates increase affordability and should make it easier for buyers to qualify. Yet, stories of buyers waiting months to gain loan approval and home purchase transactions not closing on time due to lender’s strict underwriting are all too common. Some buyers are turned down for illogical reasons. For instance, if you have investments, even if they’re performing well, an underwriter might deny the mortgage because your portfolio doesn’t fall into the underwriter’s risk assessment model. One couple was turned down because the husband had worked at his current job for less than a year — even though he was making more money at the new job than he was before. These buyers were well-qualified. The wife had worked several years for one employer and was able to qualify for the loan on her own. So, the transaction closed, although two months late. Generally, it’s more difficult to qualify now than it was a year ago. Most conventional lenders require a 20-25 percent down payment. For the lowest interest rates, your credit scores need to be in the 700 range. You need to have verifiable income and cash reserves in addition to your down payment and closing costs. You could run into underwriting problems if you’re self-employed, as W-2 income is much easier to verify. Other hurdles are lapses in employment and owning a lot of property. Some lenders won’t lend to buyers who have more than three or four residential properties. If you’re buying a new home

Home loans from a name you already know and trust

Dian Hymer For the Miami Valley Sunday News before selling your current home, you’ll need to have 30 percent equity in your current home. This needs to be verified by the lender’s appraiser. Also, the lender will want to see a copy of the cashed check from the tenant for the first month’s rent to verify rental income if needed to qualify. HOUSE HUNTING TIP: As soon as you’re serious about buying a home, find the best mortgage broker or loan agent you can to assist you. Don’t make your selection based on interest rates alone. A good track record counts for a lot. Closing the deal should be your primary goal. If you have to pay 1/4 percent more to assure your transaction closes on time and that you’re not turned down at the last minute, it’s worth it. Be candid with your loan professional about anything in your financial picture that might impact loan qualification. A good loan agent or broker will be able to assess your financial situation and anticipate what you’ll need to do to satisfy the underwriter. Be aware that appraisal issues can impact your loan approval. For example, if a previous owner added square footage without a building permit, the additional square footage probably won’t be included as livable square feet. If the appraisal comes in for less than the purchase price, the lender might not lend you enough to close the deal. Include an appraisal contingency in your contract. As of Oct. 1, the conforming

Dress up your Thanksgiving table with seasonal colors available, and they fit nicely into the space provided. Check the number of chairs you have and compare it to the number of people coming. That sounds obvious, but it’s easy to forget, so better to be safe than sorry. If you just need a couple of extras, use simple folding chairs with decorations to dress them up. You can also ask guests to BYOC (bring a couple of chairs). And keep in mind

BY ROSEMARY SADEZ FRIEDMANN Scripps Howard News Service Thanksgiving is just around the corner. Whether you’re planning a small, intimate dinner or a huge gathering of family and friends, the perfect table must be set. First, plan ahead. Check the table to be sure extra leaves are

that it is still stylish to have the children sit at a separate table. Let’s talk about the adult table first. Tablecloths are a welcome decoration for Thanksgiving dinner, and add a touch of class. If you already have a tablecloth for this special meal, great, but if you need to buy one, consider shades of yellow, gold, yellow, orange, brown and red. If you need to be frugal so

you can use the tablecloth at other times of the year, a simple offwhite cloth will be just fine and you can decorate with accessories for color. The children’s table can have a paper tablecloth, and put some crayons and pencils next to the utensils so the kids can entertain themselves drawing while the adults eat and chat. And, at this time of year, find-

ing the perfect centerpiece shouldn’t be hard. A do-ityourself idea would be to bring in colorful leaves from the yard and glue them to small glass bowls or glass votive holders. Put a candle inside the bowl, and you have a colorful fall decoration. Actually, candles, even by themselves, make wonderful table decorations. Or try ceramic pumpkin-shaped containers.

them to a Carrara marble hexagon backsplash tile. I also installed a large single-bowl, stainless-steel sink that offers a twist on the traditional farmhouse sink. In the middle of it all I installed a long, cuspeninsula in tom reclaimed pine. I cladded the front in barnboard, which spoke to the character of this farmhouse. The peninsula houses additional storage and a dishwasher, and I provided seating for three with charcoal stools upholstered in yellow-andgray floral fabric, inspired by vintage tea towels. In addition to the beautiful esthetics, a kitchen has to be functional, and part of this space needed to work as a small home office. Against the yellow accent wall, I installed a work surface in the same gray laminate as the countertops, added another stool as well as some shelving and a closed storage cabinet, and voila! — instant office. But the real wow factor in this room has to be the authentic tin ceiling I installed, comprised of square tiles. I then added recessed lighting and hung the coolest light fixtures — three pendant lights that are actually old Mason jars, tinted in a subtle blue. By using lots of paint and fabric, in addition to high-impact finishes like reclaimed wood, tin and repurposed lights, I was able to give Ilya and Pina’s tired old space the ultimate face-lift kitchen.

jumbo mortgage limit for expensive housing markets like New York City and San Francisco dropped from $729,750 to $625,500. Fortunately, conforming jumbo lenders have moved into the market to pick up the slack. You’ll pay about 1/4 percent more for a 30year fixed-rate conventional jumbo loan. However, today’s lower interest rates will help boost affordability. There are more jumbo financing options available now. Adjustable-rate mortgages that are fixed for 10 years and then revert to an adjustable have a starting rate about 1/4 percent less than a 30-year fixed jumbo. A five-year fixed starts about 1/2 percent to 3/4 percent lower, but is riskier. THE CLOSING: Because of the risk factor, the lender may want you to have a large cash reserve. Your retirement account counts toward this. Dian Hymer, a real estate broker with more than 30 years’ experience, is a nationally syndicated real estate columnist and author.

FALL CLEANING TIPS • Clean one room at a time. When it comes to housekeeping, bouncing from room to room is slower because you can’t see clear progress. • Beyond giving your home a thorough cleaning, your mission is to look for signs of insects. To keep your closets pestfree, remove all items and vacuum shelves and corners, making sure they’re free of anything that bugs

TROY

might want to eat: dust, other insects, crumbs and even food stains. • Check the condition of your insulation, especially if yours is an older home. Do you need more? To add to existing insulation, try an unbacked or loose-fill variety. For rooms or spaces with none at all, use foilbacked sheets. All costs will be easily repaid in saved utilities over time.

105 Announcements

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.
