Livingston takes seat as law director Cain won’t drop from race

BY RON OSBURN Staff Writer rosburn@tdnpublishing.com

A defiant Herman Cain declared Tuesday he would not drop his bid for the Republican presidential nomination in the face of allegations of inappropriate sexual behavior. “Ain’t gonna happen,” Cain said at a news conference a day after a fourth woman accused him of unwanted sexual advances.

“We will get through this,” he added, trying to steady a campaign that has been rocked by the controversy for the past 10 days.”

Jim Livingston swept past three other candidates to earn a four-year term as city of Troy Law Director.

In unofficial election night results, Livingston, 68, garnered 2,209 votes, or a little more than 35 percent of the vote total, to

finish ahead of David Caldwell (1,573, or 25.30 percent), Robert Harrelson (1,417, or 22.79 percent) and David Beitzel (1,018, or 16.37 percent).

Livingston, a principal in the

TROY downtown firm of Shipman, Dixon and Livingston, attributed his victory to “hard work and the work of my campaign committee.” He said he devoted considerable time and effort campaigning door-to-door and estimated he knocked on 6,000 doors over the past several months.

“We worked hard and we wanted to win,” Livingston said as he celebrated late Tuesday, surrounded by several dozen supporters at his office across from the county courthouse and board of elections office.

“I ran because I didn’t think anyone was more qualified than I was,” Livingston said.

Obama readies more sanctions The United States is readying a range of unilateral sanctions against Iran, as well as additional measures with international partners, should the Islamic republic fail to answer fresh questions about its nuclear ambitions posed by a report released Tuesday by a United Nations watchdog.

While U.S. officials view the International Atomic Energy Agency’s report as a vindication of its long-held assertion that Iran’s nuclear program is aimed at developing weapons,

On Tuesday, a set of election rovers addressed any concerns that arose from malfunctioning equipment at polling places.

“Overall, today went as smoothly as expected,” Quillen said.

Approximately 34,500 people voted Tuesday, and of that, nearly 4,100 did so before Election Day, either through absentee or early voting.

The results released by the board of elections Tuesday night after the polls closed were unofficial results.

Livingston’s victory ensures that the city law director will again be from the Shipman, Dixon and Livingston law firm. McGregor Dixon served as law director from 1980-2009 and current law director Grant Kerber is an associate at the firm.

An inadvertent error on Kerber’s nominating petitions

TROY DAILY NEWS • WWW.TDN-NET.COM

bumped him from the ballot.

Livingston said he entered the race once Kerber was disqualified.

He entered as an independent, non-party-affiliated candidate after the deadline to qualify as a Republican or Democrat.

The county elections board subsequently tossed Livingston and Harrelson from the ballot, but both were reinstated late this summer by the Ohio Second District Court

of Appeal.

Livingston said he has spent at least $14,000 on legal fees to date.

He said he anticipates serving just one term, but promises “I’ll work hard” as law director. He also said he will maintain an office at his firm, but serve as full-time law director.

“The city of Troy will be my only client,” he said.

Caldwell had peppered voters

East • CONTINUED FROM A1 the Miami County Courthouse as he was surrounded by supporters decked out in Viking blue. “Our promise to our community and to our students is we will continue to work hard to maintain the quality of education here at Miami East.”

Rappold commended the district’s levy committee for getting the information out to the voters of the Miami East community.

“We’ve very appreciative of our committee with the fliers and the mailer and open forums to get the questions answered,” Rappold said. “We will do the work to make every attempt to keep the lines of communication open.”

Rappold said the district was facing $1 million in cuts if the issued had failed and the district will continue to offer art, music and physical education and not need to cut to state minimums.

“The economy is very challenging for folks and we appreciate that,” Rappold said of those who voted against the issue.

Gone is the district’s 1 percent traditional income tax. In its place, the district voted to replace it with a continuing 1.75 percent earned income tax Tuesday. The issue represents 23 percent of the district’s general operation fund. The earned income tax replaces the traditional tax effective January 2012.

The ballot issue will collectively raise $2.55 million per year of general operating funds with the conversion of the current, continuing 1 percent traditional income tax

to a 1 percent earned income tax, coupled with the additional 0.75 percent earned income tax.

The additional 0.75 percent earned income tax is expected to raise an additional $882,000 per year.

In the last two previous elections, the community voted down an additional traditional income tax and a property tax increase. In May, Miami East Local Schools’ five-year, 0.75 percent additional traditional income tax levy was voted down by 52 votes with 887 voted against the tax, while 835 votes were cast for the income tax.

Last November, Miami East School District voted down the district’s five-year, 4.67-mill emergency operating levy and voted yes to decrease the district’s permanent improvement levy from 3.5-mill to 0.8mills.

Rappold was unable to guess what the passage of the issue would mean for the district’s “Fiscal Caution” status, although he said state auditors would be contacting him to discuss its status in the future.

The district was placed in “Fiscal Caution” in September after an independent audit from the Ohio Department of Education.

Rappold urged community members to contact the Miami County Auditor’s Office or their workplace’s human resource management office to compute the 1.75 percent earned income tax for their individual costs.

An earned income tax initiative takes 18 months to “ramp-up” collections to full collecting rate to allow for filing errors.

BOE • CONTINUED FROM A1 two-year term from Wilson’s vacancy to be filled through December 2013.

“I’m just glad the people appreciate what we’re doing at the schools,” Trostle said Tuesday. Trostle said the district’s finances are to be on the forefront of the board’s agenda, along with all public schools in Ohio.

“I’m glad to be able to bring some stability to the district and keep the schools in a stable environment,” Trostle said.

Heffner thanked the Troy community for all the votes he received and for giving

him the opportunity to serve on the board of education.

“I look forward to working with the rest of the board to tackle the challenges that are ahead for the school district — I’m just pretty excited about the whole thing,” Heffner said Tuesday. School funding issues also are on Heffner’s agenda when he begins his term in January. “I think it’s a big issue not only in Troy, but in the state.”

Lutz was unable to comment on his write-in bid Tuesday due to being out of town on a mission trip according to his wife, Ashley.

with large signs and a last-minute flier posing Livingston with President Barack Obama, and Beitzel had questioned past law director decisions and financial practices. Livingston, though, said voters responded to his message.

“We ran an honorable campaign,” he said.

Calls for comment to Beitzel, Harrelson and Caldwell were not returned.

First time candidates take council seats

BY RON OSBURN Staff Writer rosburn@tdnpublishing.com Reached at home after finishing first in a four-person race for three at-large seats on city council, first-time candidate Robin Oda said she was “speechless.”

“I’m really not sure what to say.

This really sets an expectation,” she said with a quick laugh.

ODA Oda, incumbent Alan Clark and another firsttime candidate, Lynne Snee, earned seats Tuesday as the three at-large city council representatives.

In unofficial election night results, Oda gath- SNEE ered 3,655 votes, for 31.73 percent of the total vote.

She finished ahead of Clark by just 13 votes (3,642, or 31.62 percent). Snee h a d 2,632 votes, 22.85 percent of the total votes.

Another first- CLARK time candidate, 27-year-old Colin Girolamo, finished fourth with 1,590 votes (13.8 percent).

“I’m willing to learn and ask questions. I hope to do a good job,” said Oda, the mother of three adult chil-

TROY dren. She said now that her kids were grown, “the time was right to run.”

Clark earned his fifth two-year term and promised that economic development and jobs would remain his number one priority.

“I’m honored the people have elected me to represent them.

Economic development has to remain our priority and we have to continue to keep a balanced budget. We want to continue to see the city get quality services at the lowest cost possible,” said Clark, 61, a retired 27year veteran of the Troy Police Department who now works at the County Miami Educational Service Center.

Snee, 45, an Intervention Assistant at Forest Elementary School in Troy, said she thought voters responded to her stance on the issues, which includes maintaining a balanced budget and quality city services.

“I feel a responsibility to keep the city operating as efficiently as it is now,” she said.

PERSPECTIVE

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

— First Amendment, U.S. Constitution

EDITORIAL ROUNDUP Enterprise-Journal, McComb, Miss., on NCAA athletes’ expenses: The NCAA has decided that tuition, room and board — worth about $20,000 a year at a Division I school — is not enough to compensate scholarship athletes.

The body that regulates intercollegiate athletics voted recently to give conferences the option to add up to $2,000 a year to help the athletes with other expenses, such as travel and laundry.

Given the tens of millions of dollars that the big schools make off their high-profile sports of football and basketball, and the millions that their coaches earn, it’s understandable for the players to believe they deserve a larger cut of the action.

Anyone who thinks, however, that this change will clean up the rampant corruption in college sports is being naive.

As long as there is so much money at stake, there will always be coaches, boosters and players who will try to cheat the system, no matter what the value As I of an athletic scholarship.

Well, OK, there could be a leak in the pipeline. But given the ever-improving technology of oil delivery, the possibility seems remote, and warning of an “ecological disaster” is downright Chicken Littlish.

And the 700,000 barrels of oil a day that would travel through the 1,700-mile pipeline would reduce dependence on oil from the Middle East.

It would also lessen the need for those lumbering oil tankers, speaking of potentials for ecological disaster. …

There is another trade-off to consider that is embodied in the concept of “ethical oil” that’s been making the rounds lately.

Should we get oil from places like Saudi Arabia and thus support thuggish regimes in dangerous places with our dollars? Or should we get it from places like Canada — and, heaven forbid, the United States — thereby using our dollars to promote justice and the rule of law?

It’s good to be mindful of the environment. It’s wise to conserve. It’s smart to make better use of renewable energy. But no matter what we do, we need large quantities of oil. We can still try, however, to get it in the cleanest way possible, from the least repressive places around.

LETTERS

Thank you for your support To the Editor: Last week my grandson invited me to Monday’s veteran’s program at the Van Cleve sixth Grade Building.

I said yes, of course, but never having attended such an event I expected only a small gathering. When I arrived I found at Van Cleve, I found that this was no “small gathering.”

There were well over 150 veterans and their student

sponsors in attendance, as well as the entire Van Cleve student body in the bleachers. The tables on the gym floor were elaborately decorated and there were hundreds of balloons in the room. The veterans were served an excellent breakfast by the students and then entertained with multiple songs sung by the students.

We were treated to a song

by Mrs. Collins that was equal to anything on any of the singing competitions on television. Each veteran was introduced individually and given a certificate.

Speakers included an active duty Air Force major who had made several deployments to the Mideast and an 101st Airborne veteran who had parachuted into France in the early morning of June 6, 1944.

I wish to thank Mrs. Beltz and the entire Van Cleve staff for their efforts.

I left that program feeling a little prouder of my service so long ago.

DOONESBURY

Here’s to all the leading ladies out there While I was running at the gym a few weeks ago I was watching a movie. It was “The Holiday.”

My parents gave me the movie for Christmas a couple of years ago and I think I may have watched it once, but not all the way through.

While I was watching it at the gym, I really focused in on the movie and what one of the actors — Arthur Abbott — had to say during one of his scenes.

He was telling one of the British girls who had fled off to America to get away from a scenario with an ex something that resonated with her and somehow is still resonating with me weeks later and will continue to sit on my heart.

He said ‘in every movie there is a leading lady and a best friend.

You are acting like the best friend and I don’t know why because you are a leading lady. Every woman should be the leading lady of her own life.’

Wow. What do you say to that?

I have realized lately that there are things in my life that need improving. There are things that I can tweak (Yes, mom it needs tweaking, t-w-e-a-k-i-n-g.)

How often do we really think about who we are? Not, necessari-

Katie Yantis Troy Daily News Columnist ly who we are as in “Hi, I’m Katie Yantis,” or where we are in our life, but who we are at the core of our being?

In the last few weeks, I have had some tough conversations with close friends and with myself. I realized that there are a lot of things about myself that are in need of some improvement. I’ve realized that while I should still learn from them, the mistakes that I have made in the past and the things that have happened to me in the past need to be forgotten. I need to leave them behind.

Everyone always says the past is the past for a reason. Don’t let it be part of your future.

As I go through my daily routine, I wonder how true that really is for me? How much have I

— Martin Stewart United States Navy Veteran

really let go of my past so that it’s not part of my future, so that history doesn’t repeat itself?

In realizing all of this, I have starting grasping on to a better realization of who I am. I am a complex human being, but we all are. I am a small town girl with high emotions. I love unconditionally with out reason and only with hope and that makes me who I am and no matter what happens in my surroundings or along my path — nothing is going to change that.

I am someone who likes to lace up my hiking boots and head out on the trails, but also strap on my high heels and string on my pearls for a night out on the town.

I like listening to Frank Sinatra, Michael Buble and Adele, but I can shake it like a country girl with Luke Bryan and Josh Thompson and even rock out with Aerosmith, Styx and The Rolling Stones.

I have realized there are times when I am more emotional than I need to be, but in the end I learn from it. There are times when I talk before I think, but people always know how I feel and sometimes I focus too much on the small stuff and don’t just enjoy

life. But I’m working on that and even though we all say it, I’m going to focus on that fact that no matter what, life is too short to nit-pick and we need to just enjoy life and go skydiving.

I’ve realized that no matter what happens, I am who I am. I don’t require a lot of things, just simply to be loved as I love and to enjoy what life has to bring. I’ve realized that no matter where life takes me, when I continue to be that person, that is here to enjoy life, the people who enjoy and love that person will be by my side and won’t leave for a short period or for that matter any period of time.

So ladies, I encourage you — be the leading lady of your life and along the way you will start gaining a new appreciation for yourself and the self you will discover. You’ll find you are stronger than you ever thought and along the way you will gain people in your life who are the people you want to hold on to. Let the past go, love without end and be your own leading lady — you’re worth it.

OSFC building project set for Piqua City Schools Voters pass levy 3,546 to 3,052 for new buildings

BY JENNIFER RUNYON For the Daily Call editorial@dailycall.com After a decade of considering a building project with the Ohio School Facilities Commission, the possibility will become a reality for Piqua City Schools. By a vote of 3,546 for the levy to 3,052 against, voters passed the 4.92 mill bond issue on Tuesday’s ballot.

“Obviously I’m very pleased. The people of Piqua have once again stepped up and supported a school issue in some difficult economic times,” said Bob Luby, president of the Piqua Board of Education.

The levy will be used to build two new pre-kindergarten through third grade buildings and one new fourth through sixth grade building. Through the OSFC, the state will fund fund 47 percent of the cost, or $25,793,854. The bond issue will cover the remaining 53 percent, or $29,086,686.

According to Superintendent Rick Hanes, once the results are official, the district will meet with the architect, the OSFC and the construction management

TROY DAILY NEWS • WWW.TDN-NET.COM

PIQUA team. Hanes expects this to take place in December or January.

More detailed building plans than what are being used now should be available in a couple of months. Hanes said the public will be updated on the project monthly at the board of education meetings.

A grateful Hanes looked forward to an exciting school day today as the district celebrates the passage.

“I think we’re going to have an extremely excited staff and student body. I think the community has much to be proud of and much to look forward to,” he said.

Hanes went on to say, “A huge thank you to everyone involved, to the board of education for having the wisdom to have the community voice their opinion, to the bond issue committee, to the staff and most importantly to the awesome group of kids.

This is for them and not just our current student body but for future generations for many years to come.”

COLUMBUS, (AP) — The state’s new collective bargaining law was defeated Tuesday after an expensive union-backed campaign that pitted firefighters, police officers and teachers against the Republican establishment.

In a political blow to GOP Gov. John Kasich, voters handily rejected the law, which would have limited the bargaining abilities of 350,000 unionized public workers. With more than a quarter of the votes counted late Tuesday, 63 percent of votes were to reject the law.

AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka, among the many union leaders who hailed the outcome, said victory was achieved among Democrats and Republicans in urban and rural counties.

“Ohio sent a message to every politician out there: Go in and make war on your employees rather than make jobs with your employees, and you do so at your own peril,” he said.

Kasich congratulated his opponents and said he would spend time contemplating how best to take the state forward.

“I’ve heard their voices, I understand their decision and, frankly, I respect what people have to say in an effort like this,” he said. “And as a result of that, it requires me to take a deep breath, you know, and to spend some time reflecting on what happened here.”

Kasich said he has made creating jobs his priority and he’s beginning to see his policies work.

In a signal of the issue’s national resonance, White House spokesman Jay Carney issued a statement saying President Barack Obama “congratulates the people of Ohio for standing up for workers and defeating efforts to strip away collective bargaining rights, and commends the teachers, firefighters, nurses, police officers and other workers who took a stand to defend those rights.”

Ohio Democratic Party Chairman Chris Redfern, at a celebration at a downtown Columbus hotel, said Republicans and Kasich overreached.

“He literally thought he knew more than everyone else,” Redfern said.

Asked whether the collective bargaining law, called Issue 2, was a referendum on Kasich, Redfern said, “Absolutely. He was the face of the campaign. John Kasich chose to put his face on this campaign for the last eight weeks. The people of the state pushed back.”

Labor and business interests poured more than $30 million into the nationally watched campaign, and turnout was high for an off-year election.

The law hadn’t taken effect yet.

Tuesday’s result means the state’s cur-

rent union rules will stand, at least until the GOP-controlled Legislature determines its next move. Republican House Speaker William Batchelder predicted last week that the more palatable elements of the collective bargaining bill such as higher minimum contributions on worker health insurance and pensions are likely to be revisited after the dust settles.

Earlier Tuesday, voter Janet Tipton, a 46-year-old nurse and a Teamsters union member at a private health care center, said Issue 2 was the only reason she came out to vote.

“If they break the union, we won’t have anything,” she said outside a church on Toledo’s east side. “They’ll come after us, too.”

She said retaining the union-limiting law would have affected quality of care for the elderly because it would have meant fewer nurses per patient.

Earlier this year, thousands of people swarmed the Statehouse in protest when the bill was being heard. The bill still allowed bargaining on wages, working conditions and some equipment but banned strikes, scrapped binding arbitration and dropped promotions based solely on seniority, among other provisions.

Kasich and fellow supporters promoted the law as a means for local governments to save money and keep workers.

Their effort was supported by the Ohio Chamber of Commerce, the National Federation of Independent BusinessOhio, farmers and others.

We Are Ohio, the largely union-funded opponent coalition, painted the issue as a threat to public safety and middle-class workers, spending millions of dollars on TV ads filled with images of firefighters, police officers, teachers and nurses.

Celebrities came out on both sides of the campaign, with former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin and singer Pat Boone urging voters to retain the law and former astronaut and U.S. Sen. John Glenn and the Rev. Jesse Jackson urging them to scrap it. Labor and business interests poured more than $30 million into the nationally watched campaign, with the law’s opponents far outspending and outnumbering its defenders.

Opponents reported raising $24 million as of mid-October, compared to about $8 million raised by the committee supporting the law, Building a Better Ohio.

Tuesday’s result in the closely divided swing state was expected to resonate from statehouses to the White House ahead of the 2012 presidential election potentially energizing the labor movement ahead of President Obama’s re-election effort.

Covington Council renews insurance coverage

BY TOM MILLHOUSE Ohio Community Media tmillhouse@dailycall.com

COVINGTON

Following an extensive evaluation of village-owned property, which yielded substantial savings, Covington Village Council on Monday night approved the renewal of insurance coverage.

Mayor Ed McCord said the property study, conducted with the assistance of department heads and the Covington Board of Public Affairs, revealed the village had been paying double coverage for about $1.6 million worth of property. In all, it was determined that the village has about $12 million worth of equipment, buildings and other prop-

erty.

Under the new contract with Hylant Group, the village’s premium will be $22,680, which is about $3,000 less that had been expected earlier this month before the comprehensive inventory was completed. The village paid $22, 849 this year on the lower inventory.

“Now is not the time to scrimp on property insurance because we can’t afford to be selfinsured,” McCord said. “We don’t want to get caught short.”

Village officials received good news on the renewal of its website hosting contract with Marias

Technology of Piqua. Last year, which was the first year for the village website, the cost was $500 per month.

Under the new contract, the village will pay $100 per month, which includes two hours per month of maintenance (down from 20 hours last year).

McCord said the website saved the village $800 in postal fees this year by posting the income tax forms online instead of mailing them to all residents.

The holiday season will be ushered in this Friday and Saturday and Nov. 18-19 during Covington Candlelight the Christmas Open House. McCord noted local businesses will have extended hours during the event,

which will feature holiday music, horse-drawn carriage rides and other activities.

In other business council: • Approved the purchase of two new computers for the Covington Police Department at a cost of $2,620. Chief Lee Harmon said the new equipment will replace two aging computers.

• Authorized the payment of $278,285 to Finfrock Construction for Walnut Street reconstruction project.

The village’s share of the payment is $184,695, with a grant from the Ohio Department of Public Works covering the remainder. Kyle Francis of the Celina engineering firm of Fanning Howey said the asphalt

work has been completed, as has grass seeding.

McCord said he has received a number of compliments on the project from Walnut Street residents.

• Gave a second reading to a revised village income tax ordinance.

• Learned that the Covington Presbyterian Church will host a breakfast for village employees and staff at 7 a.m. Nov. 18.

• Heard McCord commend the police department for traffic control and security at Friday night’s Covington-Coldwater football playoff game.

He also praised the police officers for coordinating the recent Halloween costume contest.

Council members vote against Ohio tax change Resolution states limitations of centralization

BY CECILIA FOX Ohio community Media ceciliaafox@gmail.com On Monday night, Tipp City council members unanimously voted to approve a resolution declaring their opposition to any effort by the state of Ohio to centralize the collection of income taxes. Ohio Governor John Kasich and state legislators are currently discussing the viability of a centralizing municipal income tax collection.

“After we pass this resolution, our response to the

state should be in capital, bolded and underlined letters so they understand they cannot do this,” said member John council Kessler.

According to the resolution, the centralization of income tax collection could greatly limit the control the city has over local income taxes. Local income taxes are the largest single source of revenue for the city and for many other municipalities in Ohio. According to the resolution, if the state takes control of income tax collection, the amount of

income tax revenue collected by the city would decrease.

“This resolution will be sent to our state senator, our state representative and the governor’s office,” said City Manager Jon Crusey.

The resolution urges state legislators to oppose any legislation that proposes the centralization of local income tax collection.

Income tax collection is up 28 percent for the month of October compared to the same time last year. It should be taken into consideration, however, that

Piqua firefighters continue to investigate the cause of a fire that broke out at 707 McKinley Ave. around 4 a.m. Tuesday. The vacant house was reportedly padlocked and had no electricity. The cause of the fire is listed as "suspicious." Damage is estimated "in the neighborhood of $20,000," according to fire officials.

TIPP CITY October 2011 receipts reflect the 0.25 percent increase in the income tax.

Factoring out the increase, collections were still up more than 15 percent.

“This is a good sign. It means we have more people working or more people working more hours.

Hopefully, at least in Tipp City, the economy’s moving in the right direction,” Crusey said.

Other business at the meeting included a discussion about Internet gaming

cafes. The council approved an ordinance imposing a six-month moratorium on these establishments. The purpose of the moratorium is to give the state of Ohio legislature adequate time to issue guidelines for regulating these businesses and for Tipp City to adopt corresponding regulations.

A sweepstakes or Internet gaming cafe 233; is defined as any premises where a “computerized sweepstakes device” is located for the entertainment of the public whether or not such premises has other business purposed, Crusey said. State lottery machines

Cain says he won’t drop out of GOP race SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.

(AP) — A defiant Herman Cain declared Tuesday he would not drop his bid for the Republican presidential nomination in the face of allegations of inappropriate sexual behavior. “Ain’t gonna happen,” Cain said at a news conference a day after a fourth woman accused him of unwanted sexual advances.

“We will get through this,” he added, trying to steady a campaign that has been rocked by the controversy for the past 10 days.

Cain denied anew that he had ever behaved inappropriately and said the alleged incidents “they simply didn’t happen.” He said he would be willing to take a lie detector test if he had a good reason.

Earlier in the day, Cain sought to undercut the credibility of the latest woman whose accusations are threatening his Republican presidential campaign. His chief rival, Mitt Romney, weighed in for the first time, calling the allegations “particularly disturbing.”

Cain said he called the news conference because he wanted to speak directly to the public, accusing the media of distorting his response to the allegations.

He said that had never seen Sharon Bialek until she called her news conference on Monday in New York, alongside attorney Gloria Allred.

“I don’t even know who this woman is,” he said of Bialek. “I tried to remember if I recognized her and I didn’t.”

Another name confronted Cain, as well, when one of his two original accusers gave an interview to The New York Times and was identified publicly by news organizations including The Associated Press as Karen Kraushaar, now a spokeswoman in the Treasury Department’s office of inspector general for tax administration.

When asked about Kraushaar, Cain said he recalled her accusation of sexual harassment but insisted “it was found to be baseless.”

Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain addresses the media Tuesday, in Scottsdale, Ariz. Cain said Tuesday that he would not drop his bid for the Republicans presidential nomination in the face of decade-old allegations of inappropriate sexual behavior.

Cain contended that “the told ABC News/Yahoo! the “They are serious. And I Democratic machine” was allegations were serious have taken them seriously. ” But they’re untrue, he pushing the allegations but “and they’re going to have to said he could not point to be addressed seriously.” He declared.

“I reject all of those called the latest accusations anyone in particular.

remote possibility” when asked if it were possible he would recall Bialek’s alleged incident in the future.

“I seriously doubt I’m going to have an ‘a-ha’ moment later,” Cain said.

Prominent Republicans pressed for a full accounting.

“Get all the facts in front of people, otherwise he’s going to have this continuing distraction,” Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour, a former Republican National Committee chairman with deep ties to the GOP establishment, told MSNBC. Though recent polling shows Cain still doing well, party operatives suggested it was only a matter of time before his political standing could suffer.

“Herman’s base is going to stick with him,” said Republican strategist Rick Tyler, Newt Gingrich’s former spokesman. “But the average Republican voter who is not as engaged as intensely in the race, is sick of this and, for Cain, the concern is they will pass on it and pass on him.”

U.S. appeals court upholds Obama health care law The suit in Washington was brought by the American Center for Law and Justice, a legal group founded by evangelist Pat Robertson. It claimed that the insurance mandate is unconstitutional because it forces Americans to buy a product for the rest of their lives and that it violates the religious freedom of those who choose not to have insurance because they rely on God to protect them from harm.

But the court ruled that Congress had the power to pass the requirement to ensure that all Americans can have health care coverage, even if it infringes on individual liberty.

“The right to be free from federal regulation is not absolute and yields to the imperative that Congress be free to forge national solutions to national problems,” Judge Laurence Silberman wrote

People who make a decision to forego health insurance do not opt out of the health care market. Their action is not felt by themselves alone. Instead, when they come ill or injured and cannot pay their bills, their costs are shifted to others.

— Stephanie Cutter

in the court’s opinion. Silberman was joined by Judge Harry Edwards.

Judge Brett Kavanaugh disagreed with the conclusion without taking a position on the merits of the law. He wrote a lengthy opinion arguing the court doesn’t have jurisdiction to review the health care mandate until after it takes effect in 2014.

Fannie Mae asks taxpayers for $7.8B WASHINGTON (AP) — Mortgage giant Fannie Mae is asking the federal government for $7.8 billion in aid to covers its losses in the July-September quarter.

The government-controlled company said Tuesday that it lost $7.6 billion in the third quarter.

”

The federal appeals court in Cincinnati also upheld the law.

The federal appeals court in Atlanta struck down the core requirement that Americans buy health insurance or pay a penalty, while upholding the rest of the law.

And like Kavanaugh’s dissenting opinion, an appeals court in Richmond, Virginia, ruled it was

premature to decide the law’s constitutionality.

The White House said Tuesday it is confident that the Supreme Court will uphold the law, as the Washington court did. Obama adviser Stephanie Cutter said in a White House blog post that opponents who say the individual mandate provision exceeded Congress’ power to regulate commerce “are simply wrong.”

“People who make a decision to forego health insurance do not opt out of the health care market,” she wrote. “Their action is not felt by themselves alone. Instead, when they become ill or injured and cannot pay their bills, their costs are shifted to others. Those costs — $43 billion in 2008 alone — are borne by doctors, hospitals, insured individuals, taxpayers and small businesses throughout the nation.”

Welcome to the neighborhood

Low mortgage rates reduced profits and declining home prices caused more defaults on loans it had guaranteed.

The government rescued Fannie Mae and sibling company Freddie Mac in September 2008 to cover their losses on soured mortgage loans. Since then, a federal regulator has controlled their financial decisions.

Taxpayers have spent about $169 billion to rescue Fannie and Freddie, the most expensive bailout of the 2008 financial crisis.

The government estimates that figure could reach up $220 billion to support the companies through 2014 after subtracting dividend payments.

Fannie has received $112.6 billion so far from the Treasury Department, the most expensive bailout of a single company.

Williams, Michael Fannie’s president and CEO, said Fannie’s losses are increasing for two reasons: Some homeowners are paying less interest after refinancing at historically low mortgage rates; others are defaulting on their mortgages.

“Despite these challenges, we are making solid progress,” he said. For example, Fannie’s rate of homeowners who are late on their monthly mortgage payments by 90 days or more has decreased each quarter since the beginning of 2010, he said.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A conservative-leaning panel of US appellate judges on Tuesday upheld President Barack Obama’s health care law as constitutional, helping set up a Supreme Court fight.

A panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for Washington issued a split opinion upholding the lower court’s ruling that found Congress did not overstep its authority in requiring people to buy health insurance or pay a penalty on their taxes, beginning in 2014.

The requirement is the most controversial requirement of Obama’s signature domestic legislative achievement and the focus of conflicting opinions from judges across the country. The Supreme Court is expected to decide soon, perhaps within days, whether to accept appeals from some of those earlier rulings.

When property values drop, homeowners default, either because they are unable to afford the payments or because they owe more than the property is worth. Because of the guarantees, Fannie and Freddie must pay for the losses.

Fannie said lower mortgage rates contributed to $4.5 billion in quarterly losses. While those losses are large, they are temporary and should ease in future earnings reports, said Mahesh Swaminathan, mortgage strategist at Credit Suisse.

“They are accounting losses on their books rather than economic losses,” he said.

Fannie’s July-September loss attributable to common shareholders works out to $1.32 per share. It takes into account $2.5 billion in dividend payments to the government. That compares with a loss of $3.5 billion, or 61 cents per share, in the third quarter of 2010.

Last week, Freddie requested $6 billion in extra aid — the largest request since April 2010 — after it reported losing $6 billion in the third quarter.

Obama administration considers more sanctions U.S. waits for answers from Iran on nuclear ambitions WASHINGTON (AP) — The United States is readying a range of unilateral sanctions against Iran, as well as additional measures with international partners, should the Islamic republic fail to answer fresh questions about its nuclear ambitions posed by a report released Tuesday by a United Nations watchdog.

While U.S. officials view the International Atomic Energy Agency’s report as a vindication of its longheld assertion that Iran’s nuclear program is aimed at developing weapons, the new intelligence wasn’t likely to be a gamechanger. U.S. officials insisted they were still focused on using sanctions and diplomatic channels to punish Iran for its nuclear ambitions, and steered clear of any suggestion that the international community was moving closer to taking military action.

The IAEA reveals for the first time that Iran is suspected of conducting secret experiments whose sole purpose is the development of nuclear arms.

It’s the strongest sign yet that Iran seeks to build a nuclear arsenal, despite Tehran’s claims to the contrary.

Senior Obama administration officials said much of the intelligence contained in the report was already known to the U.S. But the report does put the U.N.’s imprimatur on some claims and strands of evidence gathered by the U.S., which could prove valuable as the Obama administration lobbies governments around the world to toughen their own sanctions against Iran. One official said the U.S. would be consulting with international partners in the coming days on ways to ratchet up the pressure on Iran, though they offered no

The U.S. already has slapped sanctions on dozens of Iranian government agencies, financial and shipping companies as well as officials over the

nuclear program and could target additional institutions like Iran’s Central Bank. It also has pushed the U.N. Security Council, which previously has imposed four rounds of international sanctions

on Iran, for increased penalties.

But in light of Iran’s continued defiance, some, including many in Israel, have argued that military action is the only solution.

Speculation has run high

in Israel over the past week that the government there is contemplating a strike, and Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak warned of that possibility ahead of the report’s release.

Huge oil discovery boosts Argentina’s potential Plains of Patagonia prove to be fulfilling BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AP) — A huge oil discovery by the Spanish company Repsol has sharply boosted Argentina’s potential to cash in on energy and could eventually attract an infusion of investment to exploit the shale oil.

Experts said Tuesday that the find is very promising, but it is unclear how much time and investment may be needed to capitalize on the oil beneath the rocky, barren plains of Patagonia.

The company said the discovery includes 927 million barrels of recoverable oil and natural gas, of which 741 million barrels is shale oil.

Shares in Repsol YPF SA soared a day after the find was announced, rising 6.3 percent by the close of trading in Madrid and climbing 7.4 percent in afternoon trading in New York.

Former Argentine Energy Minister Jorge Lapena said it’s a “spectacular announcement” but that the reserves have yet to be proven and that studies on economic feasibility and environmental impact still need to be carried out.

Some environmentalists also are concerned that such oil development in Argentina would put pressure on freshwater supplies and could pollute water sources.

“There’s still a long path to go from resources to reserves, and then to put them into production,” Lapena told reporters. He said the find, if proven, appears to represent about 40 percent of Argentina’s reserves.

Though potentially a gamechanger for Argentina, the find is small compared to Brazil’s recent deep-sea oil discoveries, which experts have estimated could represent as much as 55 billion barrels. Venezuela, South America’s largest oil exporter, says it has a whopping 296.5 billion barrels in proven crude reserves.

Still, for Argentina the find could lead to an eventual increase

in oil output, and other areas remain to be explored.

“It must be proven first of all that they’re commercially exploitable reserves,” said Daniel Bosque, editor of the Argentinabased website Enernews.

He said a key question is how competitive the government-regulated prices end up being for such oil shale, or unconventional oil, which is costlier to extract that normal crude.

He said heavy government regulation in the past decade has been a disincentive to investment as oil production has declined and as imports of oil products and natural gas have risen. He said the latest find could help reverse that trend if it’s economically feasible.

Jason Schenker, an energy analyst and president of Austin, Texas-based Prestige Economics LLC, said such oil discoveries “will be critical to meet rising global oil demand.”

“Now, the questions will be: How quickly can this oil be brought into production … and at what price?,” Schenker said.

Those are questions that Repsol isn’t immediately ready to answer with specifics.

But Kristian Rix, a Repsol spokesman in Madrid, said that because 15 vertical wells have already been drilled and are producing 5,000 barrels a day of shale oil, developing the area “is uncomplicated from our point of view.”

Italy’s Berlusconi set to resign after reforms pass ROME (AP) — Premier Silvio Berlusconi promised Tuesday to resign after Parliament passes economic reforms demanded by the European Union, capping a two-decade political career that has ended with Italy on the brink of being swept into Europe’s debt crisis.

Berlusconi met for about an hour Tuesday evening with Italian President Giorgio Napolitano after losing his parliamentary majority during a routine vote earlier in the day. In a statement, Napolitano’s office said Berlusconi had “understood the implications of the vote” and promised to resign once parliament passes economic reforms designed to spur growth and rein in Italy’s public debt.

A vote on the measures is planned for next week.

Berlusconi’s govern-

ment is under intense pressure to enact quick reforms to shore up Italy’s defenses against Europe’s raging debt crisis. However, a weak coalition and doubts over Berlusconi’s leadership ignited market fears of a looming Italian financial disaster that could bring down the 17-nation eurozone and shock the global economy.

Italy’s borrowing rates spiked Tuesday to their highest level since the euro was established in 1999.

The yield on Italy’s tenyear bonds was up 0.24 percentage point at 6.77 percent. A rate of over 7 percent is considered unsustainable and proved to be the trigger point that forced Greece, Portugal and Ireland into accepting financial bailouts.

In a dramatic shift from his usually defiant tone, Berlusconi conceded late Tuesday he no longer had a

parliamentary majority and would step aside for the good of the country.

“The markets don’t believe that Italy is capable, or has the intention of approving these reforms,” he told his private Mediaset television.

“Things like who leads or who doesn’t lead the government” is less important than doing “what is best for the country,” he said.

The president’s office said that once Berlusconi resigns, Napolitano would begin political consultations to form a new government. The most widely discussed name to lead a technical government is Mario Monti, the former EU competition commissioner, though Berlusconi’s righthand man, Gianni Letta, and the head of his political party, Angelino Alfano, have also been mentioned — and rejected by the opposition.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Try hard to remain in contact with daughter Dear Annie: My 19-year-old daughter, "Shawna," is dating an 18-year-old boy who is abusive of her. She lives with him and his family. She has an 18-month-old son, and my wife and I have custody, not only because she felt she was too young to raise him, but because she doesn't want him around her boyfriend or his family.

Since Shawna has been living there, she only talks to us when she needs something. We haven't seen her in almost a month. We recently found out that she is drinking, doing drugs and stealing. She talks about suicide a lot and cuts herself.

She refuses to leave her boyfriend. He told her to choose between him and the baby, and she chose him. She has been seen with bruises on her, and the police have been called about their fighting several times.

Last month, the boyfriend was arrested for theft and spent nine days in jail. While he was gone, Shawna was a totally different person. Then he threatened her, insisting she pay his bail by any means necessary, so she stole money from her grandmother. As soon as he was released, things went back to the way they were.

I have a protection order on this boy because of the threats he has made against my family and me. But what can we do to get help for Shawna? There has to be some way we can get her away from that mess before he beats her to a pulp or she kills herself. — Worried Dad in Gary, Ind. Dear Dad: It is an unfortunate truth that once a child is a legal adult, there isn't much you can do to protect them from a situation of their own choosing.

We urge you to stay in touch with Shawna as much as possible and let her know you will be there for her when she needs you. Don't criticize her abusive boyfriend, but do tell her she deserves to be treated better and you hope someday she will realize that for herself. Give her the number of the National Domestic Violence Hotline (the hotline.org) at 1-800-799-SAFE (1-800-7997233). You also can contact them.

Dear Annie: Now that my state has legalized gay marriage, I have some etiquette questions.

How do I address an invitation to a same-sex couple? Can I write "Mr. and Mr. John and James Doe"? Is it any different if one of them is a doctor? Would I simply write "Dr. and Mr. So and So" and ignore their gender? — Curious in New York Dear Curious: For an informal invitation or letter, it is OK to leave out the "Mr. and Mr." altogether and simply write, "John and James Doe," on the assumption that one partner has taken the other's name. If they have different last names, or if it is a formal invitation, they are addressed as "Mr. John Doe and Mr. James Smith." (That solves the "Dr." problem, as well.)

Dear Annie: "New Bride in the Midwest" is having trouble fielding nosy remarks from people about why she doesn't have any children yet. She has already suffered two miscarriages.

She and her husband should attend a meeting of Resolve (resolve.org). This wonderful organization is a breath of fresh air to anyone having problems with infertility. The people there can answer myriad questions on many topics. They help to take away the loneliness of infertility.

And they also give helpful suggestions about what to say when people ask why you haven't had a baby yet. — New Yorker Dear New Yorker: We have recommended Resolve in this column many times and appreciate the opportunity to do so again.

Readers can find a support group in their area through the website or by writing them at 1760 Old Meadow Rd., Suite 500, McLean, VA 22102.

MONDAY’S SOLUTION:

HINTS FROM HELOISE

Is there a way to keep carrots fresh?

Dear Heloise: After purchasing a new bag of baby carrots, I remove all the carrots from the plastic bag and place them in a large glass jar. I rinse and cover them with cool water, then put a tight lid on the jar and refrigerate. Each time I remove a few, I rinse the remaining ones again with cool water. This keeps them fresh for several weeks. — Dorothy, Malvern, Ohio Dorothy, thanks for writing.

However, checking with a carrot grower, this might not be the best way to keep the carrots fresh.

Keep the carrots in the original packaging and check the expiration date. If bought early enough, they could last up to 30 days.

Hints from Heloise Columnist Putting the carrots in water can cause them to become soggy or mushy.

If the carrots get dry, you can soak the carrots in water for a short while to “revive” them. — Heloise PICKLE SLICER Dear Heloise: I cut hardboiled eggs with a pickle slicer!

Its blade is a wavy, “corrugated” design, and the result is what you see in bread-and-butter pickle jars! Depending on the angle at which you cut them, you can make your eggs look especially classy.

Try cutting the egg the long way, not all the way through but stopping in the middle. Then slide the slicer in from the side at a 90degree angle, meeting the first cut in the middle.

I use that slicer for all sorts of things: cutting up fruit (melons, bananas, etc.) for salads, potatoes for au gratin dishes, carrots and squash for side dishes — the veggies look so attractive, everyone always comments on them.

You can find a pickle slicer at hardware stores in the home-canning section, and they are fairly inexpensive. (Heloise here: Checking several big-box hardware stores, no luck finding the slicer, but they are available on the Internet.) — Donna E., Torrington, Conn.

Donna, I brought a hand-held pickle slicer into Heloise Central, and we had fun testing your hint!

Because each of us interpreted your directions a little differently, here is the Heloise Update: What you call a pickle slicer is now called a crinkle cutter knife.

Please visit www.Heloise.com to see photos of the different interpretations. — Heloise

HOROSCOPE Wednesday, Nov. 9, 2011 During the coming year, someone with considerable influence might help you achieve more recognition in your chosen field of endeavor. Nurture any relationship that can help you get to where you want to go.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Important matters you negotiate will work out to everyone’s satisfaction if you get everyone playing off the same sheet notes. Show them how to make beautiful music together.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Two ambitions that have been looking questionable can easily be fulfilled if you keep your eyes on the prize. Focus will be the key to your success.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Being a bit of a risk-taker can be both good and bad, depending on how you handle things. If you gamble on yourself, it’ll be OK, but wagering on others could be another story.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — If you have an important matter hanging fire, it behooves you to press for closure while things are going your way. Don’t hesitate to be firm in your commitment.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — You have a special ability to sway others to your way of thinking and doing things. You can easily convince them to back you in whatever important project you choose.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) — Don’t waste the day playing or doing nothing, because it could be one of your better times for developing financial and material opportunities. You need to make hay while the sun shines.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Whether you’re the quiet type or one who makes a lot of noise, your presence is apt to be far more strongly felt than usual. You’re likely to make a statement that won’t go unnoticed.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — Being both pragmatic and prudent gives you an edge in dealing with financial conditions. This is clearly a day to sit down and work on moneymaking possibilities.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) — You may need reminding how essential it is to be hopeful regarding the outcomes of important matters. Positive thinking will work wonders.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Don’t shy away from competitive situations, because challenges stimulate you to accomplish big things. When you try, Lady Luck will get involved in your interests.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — In order to spur you onward, you should find some challenging outlets that stimulate you both physically and mentally.

It’ll be just such kinds of situations that can encourage and inspire you.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — This could be an extremely productive day for you, but not necessarily from your own doing. You’re likely to be in the right spot at the right time to profit from the activities of others.

TODAY IN HISTORY (AP) — Today is Wednesday, Nov. 9, the 313th day of 2011.

There are 52 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Nov. 9, 1965, the great Northeast blackout occurred as a series of power failures lasting up to 13 hours left 30 million people in seven states and part of Canada without electricity.

On this date: • In 1872, fire destroyed nearly 800 buildings in Boston.

• In 1918, it was announced that Germany’s Kaiser Wilhelm II would abdicate. He then fled to the Netherlands.

• In 1938, Nazis looted and burned synagogues as well as Jewish-owned stores and houses in Germany and Austria in a pogrom that became known as “Kristallnacht.”

• In 1953, Welsh authorpoet Dylan Thomas died in New York at age 39.

• In 1961, U.S. Air Force Maj. Robert M. White became

the first pilot to fly an X-15 rocket plane at six times the speed of sound. The Beatles’ future manager, Brian Epstein, first saw the group perform at The Cavern Club in Liverpool, England.

• Today’s Birthdays: Baseball Hall of Famer Whitey Herzog is 80. Baseball Hall of Famer Bob Gibson is 76. Actor Charlie Robinson is 66. Movie director Bille August is 63. Actor Robert David Hall (“CSI”) is 63.

Actor Lou Ferrigno is 60.

Powerful storm heading toward coastal Alaska winds hitting 85 mph, said Andy Brown, lead forecaster for the National Weather Service in Anchorage.

Seventy miles north of Nome in the village of Brevig Mission, teacher AnnMarie Rudstrom had made plans to move her family to higher ground from their home on a spit

separating the village lagoon and the ocean. The ocean by afternoon had started to churn in shades of gray.

“It’s pretty ominous looking and the waves are getting bigger,” Rudstrom said.

Bryan Fisher of the state emergency manage-

ment office said some residents of Savoonga and Gambell on St. Lawrence Island in the northern Bering Sea and in St. Michael southeast of Nome had already headed for emergency shelters.

State officials warned residents to secure home heating fuel tanks in case sea water flooded into communities. Making communities more vulnerable than in past years is the lack of shore-fast sea ice, said Jeff Osinsky, the National Weather Service’s regional warning coordinator.

“The presence of sea ice can sometimes act to protect coastal areas,” he said.

With winds expected from the southwest, southfacing communities could be especially vulnerable, he said.

Wind and waves started picking up by late morning, said Scott Johnson, 28, a Nome banker, prompting some people to evacuate

inland to stay with friends or family in case predictions for a big ocean wave surge prove to be true.

“The waves are starting to go up against our seawall,” he said from his second-story apartment that sits on the ocean.

Johnson said he loaded a couple of bags into his truck and got gas so he’s ready to go.

“If there are 30-foot waves, A, they might be coming over the sea and B, they might be coming into my apartment,” he said.

Stores are still pretty well stocked, but some businesses closed early.

“The general view out here is we get storms like this on a fairly regular basis,” Johnson said.

“We kind of shrug it off.

But when the National Weather Service is trying to sound an alarm with 30foot seas and this is a rare storm, take it seriously. I think they’re taking it seri-

ously with a grain of salt.”

The bigger concern will be for Alaska Natives in the 18 villages in the region.

“They’re going to get hit more and have less infrastructure than we do,” Johnson said.

The storm was expected to produce at least a 10-foot surge, forcing dozens of coastal communities to make emergency preparations.

Brown advised Bering Sea mariners and people living in coastal communities from Wales to Unalakleet to “prepare for a really nasty storm.”

The windows were boarded up Tuesday morning at the Polar Café, a popular restaurant that faces the ocean in Nome. Items stored in the basement had been carried upstairs and were in one of the hotel rooms, said waitress Andrea Surina. Plans were being made to move the propane tanks to a safer spot, she said.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — Western Alaska residents braced Tuesday for an unusual Bering Sea storm that packed hurricane-force winds and 35foot waves.

The storm was traveling at 60 mph and was expected to reach the beaches of Nome by late Tuesday, with

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 and eventually fake bounces and the seller loses the wired amount.

While banks and Western branches are Union 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.

Public Participation Meeting Set to Review Proposed Transportation & Government Services Application Being Considered for Funding by the Priority Development and Advocacy Committee (PDAC) The Miami Valley Regional Planning Commission (MVRPC) will hold a Public Participation Meeting to present proposed projects being considered for funding as part of the Priority Development and Advocacy Committee (PDAC) process. The PDAC process is organized to evaluate proposed projects, establish a list of regional priorities and recommend projects that aid the community by “speaking with one voice” when pursuing funding opportunities. The intent is to present the list in a timely fashion, in a format that is useful to the delegations, and that contains projects that are mature and potentially eligible for funding. The list will be categorized to help guide the delegation. Proposed projects are community or government-oriented and MVRPC is the lead agency on both Transportation and Government Services applications.

The public participation meeting will be held as follows: Wednesday, November 23, 2011 Miami Valley Regional Planning Commission One South Main Street – Suite 260 Dayton, OH 4:00 pm – 6:00 pm The meeting will include: A review of the DRAFT list of proposed new projects received as a result of MVRPC’s recent solicitation for projects from local jurisdictions. These projects relate to transportation and/or government services. Following the public comment period, staff will evaluate each project and recommend selected projects.

From there, MVRPC’s Transportation and Government Services Review Panel will finalize the project list which will then be submitted to MVRPC’s Transportation Advisory Committee and Board for adoption in January 2012.

If you are unable to attend, you can review materials on MVRPC’s web site as follows: On Monday, November 21, 2011, information will be on MVRPC’s website (www.mvrpc.org) outlining the proposed projects. Written comments will be accepted through Wednesday, November 23, 2011, at the address below or via e-mail sent to Bradley Daniel, Regional Planner, at bdaniel@mvrpc.org .

The public can also review the list at MVRPC’s office, One S. Main Street, Suite 260, Dayton, OH, 45402, during regular business hours (8:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday) beginning Monday, November 21, 2011.

At all MVRPC public participation meetings, interpreters for hearing impaired individuals or bi-lingual interpreters are available upon request. Requests should be made at least one week prior to the meeting date. Contact MVRPC at (937) 223-6323 or 1-800-750-0750 TTY/TDD to request an interpreter.

Lucky shirt a hit — for some — at East

BY JOSH BROWN Sports Editor jbrown@tdnpublishing.com John Cash knew it was time.

“I felt like the kids had worked really hard in the offseason,” the Miami East volleyball coach said. “But I had to see if the kids’ minds were where they needed to be. After we beat St. Henry, I knew they were ready.”

Ready for the lucky shirt.

When Cash first donned his trademark Hawaiian flower print shirt, emblazoned in Miami East blue and white, his team, his assistants and Viking fans didn’t know what to think. Most didn’t know the power it held.

“They were like, ‘What is

CASSTOWN that?’ They laughed at me,” Cash said at a practice before his Vikings’ state semifinal matchup Thursday against Frankfort Adena. “One of the JV players said, ‘He’s not really going to wear that, is he?’ They’d never seen it before.”

“I was embarrassed,” said sophomore Sam Cash, one of John Cash’s two daughters on the team.

But anyone familiar with Cash’s coaching past knows the symbolism and superstition behind the shirts.

Fighting to keep his job Penn State coach Paterno sees support disappearing STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) — Coach Joe Paterno is fighting for his job amid “eroding” support from Penn State’s board of trustees and a widening sexabuse scandal and possible coverup centered on former assistant and one-time heir apparent Jerry Sandusky.

Pa t e r n o ’s regularly scheduled news conference was abruptly canceled Tuesday by a university spokesman PATERNO who cited “ongoing legal circumstances,” a reference to charges announced over the weekend that Sandusky molested eight young boys between 1994 and 2009, and that two PSU administrators who have since resigned failed to notify authorities of a 2002 incident reported by an eyewitness.

Union: No deal NEW YORK (AP) — NBA players made it clear Tuesday: No deal.

No fear of Commissioner David Stern’s ultimatum, either.

“The current offer on the table from the NBA is one that we cannot accept,” players’ association president Derek Fisher said.

Instead, the players said they will ask for another meeting with owners before Stern’s Wednesday afternoon deadline and sound willing to agree to a 50-50 split of revenues under the right circumstances in an attempt to end the lockout and save the season.

In an interview on NBA TV, Stern said that whether he agrees to meet “would be guided by the labor relations committee.”

NBA spokesman Mike Bass said the league has not yet heard from Hunter.

A month of the season has already been lost, and the NBA risks losing fans without an agreement soon. Some already appear to have forgotten: Blake Griffin, last season’s rookie of the year, stood around in the lobby of a busy hotel off Broadway and

Smokin’ Joe passes

Wood, Williams could learn from each other

Boxing great Frazier dead at 67 PHILADELPHIA (AP) Joe Frazier had to throw his greatest punch to knock down “The Greatest.”

A vicious left hook from Frazier put Muhammad Ali on the canvas in the 15th round in March 1971 when he became the first man to beat him in the Fight of the Century at Madison Square Garden.

“That was the greatest thing that ever happened in my life,” Frazier said.

It was his biggest night, one that would never come again. his way out of Ali’s shadow.

Frazier, who died Monday night after a brief battle with liver cancer at 67, will forever be associated with Ali. No one in boxing would ever dream of anointing Ali as The Greatest unless he, too, was linked to Smokin’ Joe. “I will always remember Joe with respect and admiration,” Ali said in a statement. “My sympathy goes out to his family and loved ones.”

They fought three times, twice in the heart of New York City and once in the morning in a steamy arena in the Thrilla in Manila in the Philippines. They went 41 rounds together. Neither gave an inch and both gave it their all.

In their last fight in Manila in 1975, they traded punches with a fervor that unimaginable seemed among heavyweights.

Frazier gave almost as good as he got for 14 rounds, then had to be held back by trainer Eddie Futch as he tried to go out for the final round, unable to see.

“Closest thing to dying

Ali was as merciless with Frazier out of the ring as he was inside it. He called him a gorilla, and mocked him as an Uncle Tom. But he respected him as a fighter, especially after Frazier won a decision to defend his heavyweight title against the thenunbeaten Ali in a fight that was so big Frank Sinatra was shooting pictures at ringside and both fighters earned an astonishing $2.5 million.

The night at the Garden 40 years ago remained fresh in Frazier’s mind as he talked about his life, career and relationship with Ali a few months before he died.

“I can’t go nowhere where it’s not mentioned,” he told The Associated Press.

Bob Arum, who once promoted Ali, said he was saddened by Frazier’s passing.

“He was such an inspirational guy. A decent guy. A

man of his word,” Arum said. “I’m torn up by Joe dying at this relatively young age. I can’t say enough about Joe.” Frazier’s death was announced in a statement by his family, who asked to be able to grieve privately and said they would announce “our father’s homecoming celebration” as soon as possible.

On Tuesday, former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson posted his condolences on Twitter. Tyson wrote, “As a young fighter it has always been an honor to be compared” to Frazier.

Also, the International Boxing Hall of Fame announced its flags in Canastota, N.Y., will fly at half-staff in memory of Frazier. Frazier was elected to the Hall of Fame in 1990.

Manny Pacquiao learned of the death shortly after he arrived in Las Vegas for his fight Saturday night with Juan Manuel Marquez.

Like Frazier in his prime, Pacquiao has a powerful left

hook that he has used in his remarkable run to stardom.

“Boxing lost a great champion, and the sport lost a great ambassador,” Pacquiao said.

Don King, who promoted the Thrilla in Manila, said Frazier always fought with courage and for respect.

“One cannot underestimate the contribution Smokin’ Joe and Ali made to progress and change by creating the space, through their talent, for black men to be seen, visible and relevant,” King said. “The Thrilla in Manila helped make America better.”

Though slowed in his later years and his speech slurred by the toll of punches taken in the ring, Frazier was still active on the autograph circuit in the months before he died.

In September he went to Las Vegas, where he signed autographs in the lobby of the MGM Grand shortly before Floyd Mayweather Jr.’s fight against Victor Ortiz.

tougher road.

He’s still just a caddie.

Williams showed how much contempt he has for Woods at the Bridgestone Invitational when he caddied for Adam Scott in victory, allowed himself to be interviewed on the 18th green by CBS Sports and made it sound as though he won the tournament. “The best win of my life,” he said.

It was that interview that led to an even bigger mess. At the caddies award party last week in Shanghai, his peers chose to roast him with the “Celebration of the Year.” In a night filled with bar room banter that wasn’t supposed to leave the room, Williams was asked about that interview and said, “It was my aim to shove it up that black (expletive deleted).”

He made himself an easy target for racism, though that’s not what this was about.

Woods said as much himself Tuesday at the Australian Open. With a chance to bury Williams, he bailed him out by saying, “Stevie’s certainly not a racist, there’s no doubt about that. I think it was a comment that shouldn’t have been made and was certainly one that he wished he didn’t make.”

Williams didn’t make many friends in the 12 years caddying for Woods. He has even fewer now.

His job was unlike other caddies, just as Woods was unlike any other player.

Williams felt as though he had to be a bodyguard as much as a caddie, though he often took it to an extreme.

He could be gruff with marshals and tournament officials, a lawman when it came to photographers. He was accessible only to the media he knew. He operated by his own set of rules, wearing shorts before they were allowed and letting Woods pay the fine. Most annoying to some was his habit of removing his caddie bib on the 18th green instead of waiting until the round was over.

SYDNEY (AP) — Tiger Woods and Steve Williams could learn a lot from each other.

They no longer are the best of friends, not even close. Their indiscretions were nothing alike. But a timeless lesson applies to both of them over the last two years: Treat people well on the way up, or there won’t be anyone to catch you on the way down.

Woods set an incomparable standard with numbers that even now are staggering 54 wins around the world, 10 majors and the career Grand Slam twice while still in his 20s.

Outside the ropes, he left a lot to be desired.

He rarely stopped to sign autographs, and when he did, it wasn’t for long. Woods didn’t help tournament promoters with his policy of waiting until the last minute to announce he was playing. With the exception of Notah Begay, his roommate at Stanford, Woods didn’t take part in other players’ charity events. Even among his peers, he didn’t let more than a few players get close to him.

Most of the disdain, however, came from the media.

Woods felt burned early in his career by a GQ magazine article, but it soon became a game of how little he could say. Woods is not a naturally gifted speaker, and there’s nothing wrong with that. But there was so little effort that it came across as arrogant.

No one should have been expected to go easy on Woods when his life came crashing down in a shocking episode of serial adultery. He brought that on himself. But in some corners, there was delight to see him lose his corporate sponsors, lose his marriage, lose his game.

Even now, and without as much effort as he realizes, Woods still has a chance to reinvent himself. It starts with winning, and getting back to the top of his game.

Neither will be easy as it once was.

Williams, though, has a

■ CONTINUED FROM B1 was rarely approached by fans.

The league’s current proposal calls for players to receive between 49 percent and 51 percent of basketball-related income, though union officials argue it would be nearly impossible to get above 50.2 percent.

“The players are clearly of the mind that it’s an unacceptable proposal,” union executive director Billy Hunter said. “But because of their commitment to the game and their desire to play, they’re saying to us that we want you to go back, see if you can go back, get a better deal.”

If players don’t take the deal by 5 p.m. Wednesday, the next offer will call for salary rollbacks, a 53-47 revenue split in the owners’ favor and essentially a hard salary cap.

“Our proposal on the table now goes away (Wednesday),” Stern said.

“Our next proposal will then go to the players, and we will see where negotiations go.”

Players are willing to negotiate further on the revenue split if they get some concessions on the salary cap system. Without them, Fisher said “we don’t see a way of getting a deal done between now and end of business” Wednesday.

The league is seeking to limit the spending options of teams above the luxury tax threshold, believing that would lead to greater competitive balance. Players want all teams to be options for free agents.

When asked if there’s still wiggle room on system issues, Stern said that as of

3 a.m. Sunday there was none left.

The players insisted they will not be forced into taking a bad deal by an ultimatum though Stern refused to call it that.

“The players are saying that we understand their position, but unfortunately we’re not intimidated by all that,” Hunter said.

With more than 40 players ranging from All-Stars to minimum salary players behind them, Fisher and Hunter dismissed Stern’s warning, had hard words for Michael Jordan and repeated that they are willing to negotiate and believe they have made more than enough economic concessions to get the salary cap system they want.

That message was not just for the owners.

They also were speaking to the players and agents who advocate disbanding the union in an attempt to take on the league in court.

Union leaders said there was very little discussion about decertification, saying they understand there would be differences of opinion with a membership of 450, but that the team representatives summoned to New York knew the best interests of their teammates.

The union called the meeting after Stern issued his ultimatum early Sunday morning following an eighthour bargaining session with a federal mediator.

Fisher said 43 players, including superstars Carmelo Anthony and Griffin, attended the meeting and that 29 of the 30 teams were represented.

Shirts ■ CONTINUED FROM 17 East, Cash coached at Fairborn High School, holding the reigns of the Skyhawk boys team — another team that he took to the state tournament.

And it all began with a simple mistake.

“Back in 2000 one day, my staff and I had forgotten our shirts that day,” he said. “And I happened to have one on me — a Hawaiian flower shirt in the school’s colors. We were playing Alter that weekend, and the kids jokingly told me that I should wear it during our match.”

Even they had no idea.

“We won that weekend.

We played really, really well,” Cash said. “After that, I had to wear it. And I wore it all the way to our state semifinal run in 2005.”

The Skyhawks lost in the semifinal to eventual state champion Cincinnati Moeller — but they were the only team all season to take sets from the Crusaders.

“After that, I quit coaching,” Cash said. “My wife Kelly and I started to do things with AAU basketball and spend time with our daughters. It was about that time.”

His old team didn’t forget, though — the next sea-

son, the Skyhawks had that trademark shirt hanging behind their bench during their matches.

And Cash didn’t forget, either.

“Wes Welbaum gave me a call in the summer of 2008 while I was on a fishing trip in Tennessee,” Cash said. “He asked me to come back as his assistant, said it would be his last year and that he was looking for someone to take over the program. I came back for a day, interviewed and headed back to Tennessee. They gave me a call soon after that and told me I got the job.”

When he took over in

2009, the Vikings went 167. Last season, they went 21-3, won their first Cross County Conference title and went undefeated in the league and reached the sectional final, losing to Anna.

Going into this season — a season in which the Vikings knew they could improve even more on their impressive 2010 campaign — Cash decided it was time.

And then Miami East upset St. Henry, arguably the most dominant D-IV team in state history and one with an incredible championship pedigree, early in the season — and the flower shirts came out

in force.

And his assistant coaches, Lori Smith and Lauren Kiwacka, couldn’t have known that they’d become a part of it.

“I didn’t even have mine until a week before the season,” Cash said. “After we beat St. Henry, I knew.

They (Smith and Kiwacka) got theirs pretty quick after that.”

“I just thought, ‘Are you kidding?’” Smith said.

“I’d watched him at Fairborn, and I knew he always wore them,” Kiwacka said. “But I didn’t think we’d have to. I was like, ‘Are you serious?’”

Yep.

“While it isn’t their choice — they are forced to wear them — they’ve been really good sports about it,” Cash said.

But as the Vikings kept winning, the shirts’ legacy has grown — and the fans have taken notice.

“There was a kid’s status on Facebook today wondering where he could get a ‘signature Coach Cash version Hawaiian flower print shirt,’” Sam Cash said with a laugh.

One way or another, whether the shirts play a part in it or whether it’s just superstition, one thing is for sure.

It’s the Vikings’ time.

■ College Football

Business ■ CONTINUED FROM 17 of a good-luck thing now.

It’s something fun to do.”

But to think of the imposing Miami East Vikings — who have been ranked No. 1 in the state in Division III all season long and are now preparing to play in the program’s firstever state semifinal match against Franfort Adena at 2 p.m. Thursday at Wright State University’s Nutter Center — as running around their school, hiding from each other and playing a youngster’s game before they go out and decimate another team is an odd juxtaposition. The two images simply wouldn’t appear to go together.

But the fact that his players can do both is one big reason why Miami East coach John Cash says the team is so successful.

“I can’t explain it. They just get that piece of the puzzle,” he said. “They can separate work and fun — but they still have both.

They just have a knack for that. They have lots of fun and are a very … goofy bunch. But they understand that when it’s time for business, when they’ve got to be sharp and crisp, that is there, too.”

“Having fun helps us become more of a family, more of a team,” Abby Cash said. “We know we have to focus, but we have fun, too. It’s really not that hard. We don’t even think about it.”

Outside hitter Angie Mack said that separating the two isn’t really how it works, though.

“We still have fun while we’re doing what we need to do,” she said. “We don’t separate the two (business and fun). We combine them. That’s where our passion comes from.

“When we start playing without passion, that’s when we don’t play as well.”

“We’re just all really competitive,” Sam Cash said. “We know that if we mess around when we’re on the floor, we’re not going to win. But we’re still having fun on the floor.”

But for a team that has had high expectations all season despite being so young — Kelsey Vanchure is the Vikings’ lone senior — it’s also been a way to not feel any pressure.

“A lot of us get really nervous sometimes,”

Miami East’s Leah Dunivan puts down a kill Wednesday night against Anna in the Vikings’ Division III regional semifinal victory.

Allison Morrett said. “The more fun we have, the more relaxed we are.”

“The winning IS the fun,” Leah Dunivan said.

“When we’re doing our job right, we’re having lots of fun. Sure, we screw around a lot of the floor. It’s important to have the fun. If you don’t, you get stressed and burned out.”

“We have really hardcore practices,” Ashley Current said. “We’ve got to have it (fun).”

“Without the fun, I honestly don’t know how many of us would be here,” Abby Cash said. “We work really hard in practice, but fun is just in our blood. Someone is always doing something to make someone else laugh.”

Another way the team has had fun on the floor through its tournament run has been its student section. The section has progressively gotten bigger throughout the season, and Viking fans have consistently outnumbered — and been more organized — than their opposition’s.

“The more students come out, the more pumped up we are,” Allie Millhouse said. “Garrett (Mitchell) has been crazy.

He’s been their leader, and last time we played, he came with a piece of paper with new cheers for everyone to learn.”

“And they’re only going to get better,” Morrett said.

Just like the Vikings are at hiding.

“One time, they didn’t find me at all,” Abby Cash said. “But I’d say Trina (Current), Sam and Leah are the best hiders — even though they cheat.”

“We’ll have players coming back with white dust all over them from hiding in the boiler room, we’ll have players that lock themselves in the coach’s office … we’re intense about it,” Sam Cash said.

“We have to play. We get really, really angry if we don’t get to play,” Ashley Current said.

And if the Vikings continue to do their job Thursday, they’ll get one more chance on Saturday to play H.A.G.S. — before the state championship match.

■ CONTINUED FROM B1 appeared briefly, along with some family members, and thanked the crowd for coming.

“I’ve lived for this place.

I’ve lived for people like you guys and girls,” Paterno said.

“It’s hard for me to say how much this means,” the 84-year-old coach said.

“As you know, the kids that were the victims, I think we ought to say a prayer for them.”

Asked if he was still the coach, Paterno didn’t answer but a young woman who stood with her arm around him replied: “Now is not the time.”

Paterno’s son, Scott, said his father was disappointed over the decision by PSU President Graham Spanier to cancel the news conference. Addressing reporters outside his parents’ house, Scott said Joe was prepared to answer questions about Sandusky who maintains he is innocent and further that his father plans to coach not only Saturday’s game against Nebraska, but for the long haul.

Earlier in the day, Paterno stepped out of a silver sedan being driven by his wife, Sue, and headed to the team practice. At one corner of the facility, managers hastily put plywood boards over an exposed fence to block photographers’ view of the field.

At the spontaneous rally at his house, Paterno held his fists over his head three times and said, “We are …”

And the crowd replied, “Penn State!”

“We’re always going to be Penn State,” Paterno said. “I’m proud of you. I’ve always been proud of you.

Beat Nebraska.”

Paterno, who earns

about $1 million annually from the school, has been head coach for 46 years and part of the Penn State staff for more than six decades, and his old-school values pervade every corner of the program.

Over that span, the Nittany Lions won two national championships, but unlike many other Division I powerhouses, the program avoided run-ins with the NCAA. The team generates millions of dollars each year in revenues from attendance, TV rights and sponsorships, but it has stubbornly stuck with the basic white-and-blue uniforms that are now among the most recognizable in college football.

All those things have inspired pride in the region and fierce loyalty to Paterno, who is the winningest coach in Division I and one of the most respected in any sport.

That lofty status, however, has been the subject of heated arguments in recent days, among students on campus, construction workers on the street and the PSU board of trustees.

A person familiar with the trustees’ discussions said support there for Paterno was “eroding,” but couldn’t gauge whether the board would take action.

The same person said Spanier has also lost support ahead of Friday’s board meeting, which Gov. Tom Corbett said he plans to attend. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the subject.

After the rally at Paterno’s house, some students headed to the administration building, where they thought some trustees might be meeting.

Buckeyes riding 3-game win streak on way to Purdue COLUMBUS (AP) — Ohio State interim coach Luke Fickell isn’t sure about the standings in his own Big Ten division.

He’s also is not certain what other teams around the country are up to.

Yet he knows that the Buckeyes are just 2-2 in their last four trips to West Lafayette, Ind. That fact is of prime importance since Ohio State (6-3, 3-2) rides a three-game winning streak into Ross-Ade Stadium to play the Boilermakers (4-5, 2-3) on Saturday.

“We’ve been pretty successful here in the last 10 years, as much as any program in the country,”

Fickell said of the Buckeyes’ 94-21 record (not counting the 12-1 mark from last year vacated due to NCAA violations). “We’re 2-2 over there (at Purdue) in the last 10 years. If that’s not enough to open your eyes and make sure you understand …”

The Buckeyes are a touchdown favorite, but that hasn’t meant much in recent years.

In 2009, the seventhranked Buckeyes were unbeaten in conference play and Purdue was winless and stuck in a fivegame slide. But the Boilermakers still pulled out a stunning 26-18

upset.

The night before, former Purdue quarterback Drew Brees had texted a message to the Boilermakers’ QB at the time, Joey Elliott: “Hey, go out there and shock the world.”

Elliott threw for 281 yards and two touchdowns in the win. It was a lethal setback for the Buckeyes, effectively taking them out of national title contention.

It’s a lesson for the current Buckeyes, who are still in the race to represent the Big Ten’s Leaders Division, tied for second with Wisconsin and two games back of Penn State (5-0).

But not all the players put a whole lot of stock in what happened in the past.

“Those things are in the back of people’s minds,” defensive back Tyler Moeller said of that ‘09 defeat. “But you can’t really take into effect those things. It’s a different team this year. I get excited to play at stadiums and atmospheres like that.

They have great crowds, they have great fans. I’m excited to go there. I’m excited to play there.”

In a year of NCAA suspensions and key injuries, the Buckeyes haven’t exactly been road warriors, either.

They are 1-2 away from home, losing at Miami 24-6 and at Nebraska 34-27 and winning at Illinois, 17-7.

“Whether you’re on the road, whether you’re at home, it’s about you,” Fickell said. “If we’re away, it’s on us to take the emotion away from the home team.”

Fickell usually declines to recall details from past games, saying he doesn’t dwell on such matters. But without prompting he quickly mentioned a couple of the problems Ohio State has had at Purdue.

“I remember we had five turnovers, dropped a punt down inside the 20yard line. They hit a screen

there to make it 23-7,” he said. “Do you want me to go through the whole game? I can remember every bad play that happened.”

He also referred to how the Buckeyes were unbeaten in 2002 and had to go to overtime to pull a narrow win out of the fire.

After the 2009 loss, then-Ohio State quarterback Terrelle Pryor said the Buckeyes were flat.

“Every week, you have to fear the underdog,” he said. “And the underdog took care of us today.”

Fickell is trying to guard against another Buckeye uttering those words again on Saturday.
