Tradeoff: Security vs. civil liberties

Volume 103, No. 277

INSIDE

Boundaries pushed in post 9/11 world NEW YORK (AP) — In the early months after the 9/11 terror attacks, America’s visceral reaction was to gird for a relentless, whatever-it-takes quest to punish those responsible and prevent any recurrences. To a striking extent, those goals have been achieved. Yet

over the years, Americans have also learned about trade-offs, about decisions and practices that placed national security on a higher plane than civil liberties and, in the view of some, above the rule of law. It’s by no means the first time in U.S. history that security con-

cerns spawned tactics that, when brought to light, troubled Americans. But the past decade has been notable, even in historical context, for the scope and durability of boundary-pushing practices. Abroad, there were secret prisons and renditions of terror sus-

pects, the use of waterboarding and other interrogation techniques that critics denounced as torture, and the egregious abuse of detainees by U.S. military personnel at Iraq’s Abu Ghraib prison and elsewhere. At home, there has been widespread warrantless wiretapping authorized by the National

olidays are about the traditions that make them special. And, for the last 16 years, some residents of Miami County have spent the Thanksgiving holiday either volunteering or just enjoying a traditional meal, at El Sombrero restaurants in Troy and Piqua. For Thanksgiving, owner Ruben Pelayo and his “American mom” Judy Rose put away the salsa bowls and pull out the gravy boats for the traditional feast — offered

MIAMI COUNTY

THANKSGIVING MEAL A traditional Thanksgiving meal will be offered from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Nov. 24 at both El Sombrero locations. The Troy restaurant is at 1700 N. County Road 25-A and the Piqua restaurant is at 1274 E. Ash St. The meal is free to the community.

free to the community this year for the 17th consecutive year from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Nov. 24. The meal will be offered at both restaurants, in Troy at 1700 N. County Road 25-A and the Piqua restaurant at 1274 E. Ash St. “We have families that have made it their tradition to be here for Thanksgiving,” Rose said. “This is for the community. We want everybody to come and let us serve them.” The annual feast is the continuation of a tradition started in Mexico by Pelayo’s mother, who would feed hungry neighbors. Pelayo, who has been honored repeatedly for his benevolence in the community, invites not only those who need a good meal and fellowship, but those who simply don’t want to cook.

MIAMI (AP) — Mo Tarafa stood before students at a small, outdoor concrete auditorium at Florida International University and called for volunteers to sit in the 10 chairs before her. Each chair, she said, represented 10 percent of the wealth in the United States and 10 percent of the population. The students, mostly in their 20s and wearing jeans and Tshirts on a balmy fall Thursday afternoon in Miami, took their places. Then Tarafa asked nine of the students to squeeze together into five of the chairs. This, she said, was the distribution of wealth in 1996. Next she asked nine students to fit into three of the chairs. This, she said, is the distribution of wealth today. “How are you all feeling right now?” she said. “Uncomfortable,” said one of the students piled up on one another. The exercise was part of a teach-in that took place recently at FIU and dozens of other campuses across the country in solidarity with Occupy Wall Street. As the protests have grown to cities across the United States, they’ve also taken root at the nation’s universities, where students have staged rallies and walk-outs from classes. On Thursday, students were among the thousands who took part in protests across the country. At the University of California, Berkeley, where 40 people were arrested in a violent confrontation with police last week, officers removed 20 tents on Thursday. At Harvard

Late this morning, the Pleasant Hill, Laura and Ludlow Falls fire departments were dispatched to a possible barn fire at 1900 N. Rangeline Road, Pleasant Hill. According to the owner, the barn was being demolished when the workers lit a small fire to keep warm. The high winds pushed the fire into the debris and the result was a fire spreading to the undemolished half of the barn. Firefighters cleared the scene at 12:15 p.m.

NEW YORK (AP) — Flying has never been so good for those able to splurge. While most Thanksgiving travelers will fight for overhead bins and go hours without a snack or room to stretch their legs, life in first class is stress free. It’s always been a special place on the other side of the curtain. Now, it’s getting even cushier. U.S. airlines, profitable again after a disastrous decade, are spending almost $2 billion to upgrade amenities for their highest-paying customers. On the most profitable international routes,

Liberties • Continued from A1 Security Agency and the issuance of more than 200,000 national security letters ordering an array of Americans including business owners and librarians to turn over confidential records. Now, in the very city that suffered most on 9/11, new information has emerged about the New York Police Department’s intelligence operations ramped up after the attacks in ways that critics say amount to racial and ethnic profiling, though the department denies that charge. Since August, an Associated Press investiga-

tion has revealed a vast NYPD intelligence-collecting effort targeting the city’s Muslims. Police have conducted surveillance of entire Muslim neighborhoods, monitoring where people eat, pray and get their hair cut. Dozens of mosques and Muslim student groups were infiltrated. The CIA helped develop some of the programs. The FBI also has intelligence-gathering operations that target Muslim and other ethnic communities. Both the bureau and the NYPD defend the programs as conforming to guidelines on profiling, while critics brand the tactics as unconstitutional and ineffective.

“Targeting entire communities for investigation based on erroneous stereotypes produces flawed intelligence,” says Michael German, a former FBI agent who’s now senior policy counsel for the American Civil Liberties Union. “Law enforcement programs based on evidence and facts are effective, and a system of bias and mass suspicion is not.” The FBI, which in 2003 was authorized to conduct racial and ethnic profiling in national security investigations, says its community assessments are legal and vital. “Certain terrorist and criminal groups are comprised of persons primarily

from a particular ethnic or geographic community, which must be taken into account when trying to determine if there are threats to the United States,” the bureau said in response to ACLU criticism. But some feel the perpetual safety-vs.-civil-liberties balancing act has been knocked askew since 9/11. In a recent assessment of national security response to the terror attacks, the ACLU faulted policies it said had undermined the Constitution. “We lost our way when, instead of addressing the challenge of terrorism consistent with our values, our government chose the path

353,176 miles on United and its partners. After the pilots, Carlson might just be the most important person on the plane. United will do anything to make sure another airline doesn’t steal his business. Agents call him about delays and reroute him so he doesn’t miss meetings. “I go to the top of the list for the next flight,” Carlson says. On a recent trip from Newark, N.J., to Brussels, he was met at the curb

with a boarding pass and escorted to the front of the security line. Four minutes after being dropped off, he was past the checkpoint. Most of the 3.4 million Americans expected to fly this holiday week won’t get anything close to that treatment. They’ve paid a little under $400 for their round-trip tickets. And it’s a cutthroat business. To save $5, passengers are likely to choose another airline. So, it’s no surprise that the most loyal customers,

and those willing to pay more for better services, are the ones airlines want to reward. First-class and business-class passengers make up only 8 percent of international travelers but account for 27 percent of revenue, according to the International Air Transport Association. “There is a war going on for the profitable passenger,” says Henry H. Harteveldt, co-founder of the travel firm Atmosphere Research Group.

of torture and targeted killing … of warrantless government spying and the entrenchment of a national surveillance state,” its report said. “That is not who we are, or who we want to be.” To be sure, Americans have been spied on before by their law enforcement and security agencies, usually in periods of national anxiety. During the Red Scare of 1919-20, Attorney General A. Mitchell Palmer responded to labor unrest and bombings including an attack on his own house by overseeing mass roundups of thousands of suspected anarchists and communists, hundreds of whom were

deported. In the aftermath of the raids, he was assailed by eminent legal experts for allowing raids without warrants and for denying detainees legal representation. In the 1950s, the FBI under the leadership of J. Edgar Hoover abetted Sen. Joe McCarthy and other zealous anti-communists with various domestic spying tactics, including opening of mail and unauthorized wiretaps. The bureau also kept civil rights leaders under surveillance during the late ’50s and 1960s, again claiming in some cases that unproven communist ties represented a security threat.

WHAT IT TAKES

Flight attendants greet them by name, hang up jackets and serve meals on china. The lavish treatment is meant to keep people like Tim Carlson happy.

valuable; however, I feel I’m not using it on a daily basis,” said Natalia Abrams, 31, a recent UCLA graduate who has been helping organize students through Occupy Colleges, a loose coalition of universities across the country. “We didn’t go back to school to have $20,000 in debt to work at Starbucks.” Whether the protests mark a rejuvenation of student activism in the United States is yet to be seen, but already some important distinctions are being made from their involvement in politics and society over the

last few decades. In the 1960s, students held sit-ins to protest racial segregation and marched against the Vietnam War. Since then, activism on campus has tended to focus on specific issues, like rape awareness, anti-sweatshop campaigns and equality for gays and lesbians, said Robert Self, a history professor at Brown University. “There hasn’t for a long time been a single issue like the civil rights or the war in Vietnam that brings a whole generation together,” Self said.

The meal is made possible each year by donations from the community, money made through the sale of hand-crafted items sold at the Troy restaurant by Rose and other volunteers, and profits from the restaurants. A humble Pelayo said the event would not be possible without his loyal customers and community volunteers. “It’s not just me, it’s a lot of people who have kept this meal going,” Pelayo said. “I’m grateful I’m able to do so.” Rose, also the restaurants’ business manager, agrees. “It’s because of the loyalty of the customers coming back year after year and keeping him in business so that we can do this,” Rose said. The meal, which consists of a traditional Thanksgiving turkey and all the trimmings, formerly was served buffet-style, but now is a sit-down meal . “We realized that some of our Thanksgiving guests don’t get to go out much, so it makes it more special to be served,” said Rose, who said employees and volunteers see to all of the guests’ needs — including seconds. Employees begin cooking the some 120 turkeys the

week prior to Thanksgiving in order to have them all ready for the dinner. “I find it fun to come in the week before and smell turkeys cooking instead of Mexican food,” Rose said. Rose said a core group of people help to plan the dinner each year, however, about 50 more volunteers help in the two restaurants on Thanksgiving Day. Employees, many from Mexico, are paid, and see the holiday as just another day of work, Rose said, as Thanksgiving is not recognized in their country “Even in this economy, you just thank everybody,” said Rose, tears welling up in her eyes. “People continue to support the restaurants. And, we receive donations to help with the meals. We just have the greatest customers anyone could ever ask for.” More food than is needed to feed the guests also is ordered by Pelayo each year, according to Rose, with all extras being delivered to Piqua’s Bethany Center and Troy’s St. Patrick soup kitchens to continue supporting the community. “Every bite of food will be eaten,” said Pelayo, who also makes a meat donation monthly to each soup kitchen. “Nothing goes to waste.”

MIAMI COUNTY Honda of America in Marysville to honor top math students from 15 area counties. Family members, teachers and friends also were invited to the breakfast ceremony to share in honoring the students. Recognized as their school’s top math student in the Class of 2012, each student received a pewter math medal, plaque and $100 gift card from Honda of America and Ohio State University’s College of Engineering. In addition, the math medal award comes with a $3,000 scholarship opportunity at Ohio State’s College of Engineering for the 2012-2013 academic year. Over the past seven years, more than 60 Math Medal recipients have gone on to receive the $3,000 scholarship at Ohio State’s College of Engineering. “We are grateful that our strong partnership with Honda gives us the opportunity to recognize these talented high school seniors who have studied so hard to achieve their best,” said David B. Williams, dean, Ohio State College of Engineering. “We hope the Math Medal program encourages these students to consider engineering as a career and to further their education here at Ohio State.” The Honda-Ohio State Partnership Program is a collaboration between

Ohio State and Honda of America that supports initiatives in education, research and public service to positively impact students, faculty, public and private sector practitioners, and the transportation industry as a whole. “Encouraging students to pursue a career in engineering is vitally important to manufacturing, here in Ohio and throughout the United States,” said Tim Downing, chief engineer at Honda of America. “This partnership with Ohio State has proven to be effective at opening the door to the vast opportunities in the field of engineering.” Honda operates two auto plants, engine and transmission plants in Ohio, along with a major vehicle research and development center and engineering, logistics and purchasing operations in the state. With 13,500 associates — including more than 1,000 engineers — Honda is one of Ohio’s largest private employers. Ohio State’s College of Engineering places 17th nationally among public university engineering programs ranked by U.S. News & World Report, and its nearly 6,700 undergraduate students choose from 14 different engineering majors.

34% Watch for a new poll question in next Sunday’s Miami Valley Sunday News.

“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 The Register-Guard, Eugene, Ore., on gun permits: Before the end of 2011, Congress will vote on legislation that would essentially nationalize the permits that states issue for people to carry concealed weapons. Lawmakers should reject this bill, which would curtail the rights of states that do not allow or that limit carry-permit reciprocity with other states. The National Right-to-Carry Reciprocity Act, sponsored by Rep. Cliff Stearns, R-Fla., was recently approved by the House Judiciary Committee by a 19-11 vote. Just one Republican, Rep. Dan Lungren of California, opposed the bill, demonstrating how deeply conservatives’ traditional reverence for states’ rights has eroded. It’s a sorry day when Republicans’ eagerness to do the bidding of the National Rifle Association causes them to ignore that the Constitution states the right to decide who should be allowed to carry concealed weapons within their boundaries. … Stearns’ bill would require states to recognize all concealed carry permits — even if the requirements for nonresident permit holders are weaker than their own. This is an atrocious idea. This is more than an issue of states’ rights. It’s an issue of safety. Contrary to the gun lobby’s propaganda, not all concealed carry permit holders are responsible, law-abiding citizens. Eleven police officers and at least 370 other people have been killed by concealed carry permit holders over the past four years, according to the Violence Policy Center. The Supreme Court has ruled that individuals have a right to bear arms. But the court has also made clear that does not mean any gun of any kind in any place. Stearns’ bill would significantly increase the number of people carrying weapons, increasing the risk to ordinary citizens and police officers. That’s why law enforcement organizations such as the International Association of Chiefs of Police oppose the measure. The Tampa (Fla.) Tribune on sovereign debt: Voters in Greece, Italy and other countries deeply in debt are learning that they have unwittingly given up power to unelected bankers and bureaucrats who are now calling the shots. The welfare of individual taxpayers and workers is not the top concern of the new bosses. It no longer matters that austerity measures are unpopular. When the prime minister of Greece called for a vote on a bailout deal that would raise taxes and surely add to an unemployment rate twice as high as in the United States, he discovered that voting was not an option. He was forced to resign, as was the prime minister of Italy. While the European financial crisis has the unique aspect of being linked to a central currency, the euro, there is a moral lesson for U.S. taxpayers: Politicians who say that constantly adding big sums to the national debt is the best strategy to grow the economy are taking big risks with the nation’s future. The larger the sovereign debt, the less sovereignty a country really has. Former Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou said it would be “a supreme act of democracy and of patriotism for the people to make their own decision” by voting the bailout plan up or down. The possibility of a no vote so startled world markets that the proposed referendum was quickly dropped. So much for democracy. If a national government can’t decide how much to tax and spend, what real power does it have? The time to think about that question is before debts get out of hand, not after. Clearly, a country has the power to borrow too much, but that decision also threatens to limit its future financial options, which is to say its sovereignty.

THEY SAID IT “If there was ever going to be a right time, I guess this would be it. I was kind of at a crossroads three years ago and thought about retiring then, but I knew we had a great group of kids coming up and I wanted a chance to work with them. It’s been a great three years. We did more than anybody expected that first year, then the last two years have been great. We went to the playoffs the past two years and I get to go out after beating Piqua five years in a row — you can’t ask for much more than that.” — Former Troy football coach Steve Nolan, who retired Monday after 28 years “The biggest thing Coach (Steve) Nolan taught me was structure. He gave me a foundation for everything I’ve done in my career. One of the things that benefitted me the most when I left Troy for Indiana was the structure I had. I knew I had to lift, I knew I had to run — and if you don’t do those things, you don’t play.” — Former Troy player and current San Diego Charger Kris Dielman, on Nolan

Poor decisions by NBC stick fans in darkest timeline This is obviously the darkest timeline. At least where television sitcoms are concerned. That’s because the single best sitcom in TV history — NBC’s Community — is going to be put on midseason hiatus due to “low ratings,” according to the network, and its likelihood of being picked up for a fourth season next year are looking slimmer by the day. That boast of “best ever” isn’t taken lightly, either. I grew up in a golden age of sitcoms with the likes of Cheers, Married … With Children and my personal long-time favorite Night Court. But Community — a show anyone who has ever been to college can easily relate to — simply outshines every sitcom that has ever seen the air in two all-important categories: creativity and character development. Sitcoms have followed a very simple formula for years — take a collection of cookie-cutter caricatures, put them in increasingly more ridiculous situations and allow hilarity to ensue. And when whatever gimmick the show is based on, be it a group of nerd friends (Big Bang Theory), a group of friends in general (Friends) or a family (there’s just too many to name examples), begins to wear thin, just start having them all

Josh Brown Sunday Columnist sleep with each other soap operastyle — and call it “character development.” As a general rule, sitcoms make me want to vomit. But then my wife Mandie and I finally took my cousin Jamie’s advice and gave Community a shot in the middle of its second season — which is one of the biggest complaints about the show. It’s very hard for new viewers to jump into in the middle, since many episodes move an overall story arc further along — and many jokes reference older episodes of the show. Critics often call the show impenetrable to new viewers. Since we can’t stand normal episodic TV with its throw-away stories that don’t build toward anything greater, we went out and bought the first season on DVD to catch up.

It was one of the best purchases I’ve ever made. Since then, we’ve watched a motley crew of misfits that formed a study group just trying to pass a community college Spanish class grow into a group of legitimately close friends that helps each other tackle any problems that may come their way. And they do it with a creativity unrivaled on current network TV. The show often spoofs entire genres of popular movies and TV with its brilliant theme episodes — and the references are always entirely clever. In a spoof of mafia movies, the outro to Eric Clapton’s song Layla plays during a montage, a reference to Goodfellas. An episode parodying conspiracy theory movies has more twists at the end than Conspiracy Theory itself. And in its first annual campus-wide paintball war spoof of action movies — probably the sitcom episode with the highest production quality ever — the main character, Jeff, spends the entire episode dressed like Bruce Willis’ character in Die Hard. What truly sets the show apart, though, is its ability to be serious at times. In an episode about naive Troy’s 21st birthday, the group takes him out to a bar theoretically for his first drinks. Instead, two characters

bicker over which knows the coolest bar that no one else knows about, a fake ID makes another question the person she actually is and her perfectionist lifestyle, and the group discovers that the very moral Christian among them is, in secret, a sloppy drunk. In the end, Troy decides not to drink at all, saying, “Alcohol makes people sad.” Many people who saw it didn’t like it because it wasn’t the typical sitcom wacky hijinks. I couldn’t have loved it more. And so I’ve taken the character Abed’s suggestion from an episode about chaos theory — in which six different timelines happen at once based on which character goes to get the pizza the group ordered. Since this is the darkest timeline, one where originality, quality and heart is tossed aside in favor of the same old garbage ideas, I’m now sporting an evil moustache and goatee (a shoutout to the original Star Trek series with an evil Enterprise crew from a parallel universe), and my goal is to get back to the prime timeline. One where Community is so wellliked and watched, it will get six seasons and a movie. TDN Sports Editor Josh Brown appears Sundays.

JACQUELINE (JACQUI) JOHNSON AP PHOTO/THE BLADE, AMY VOIGT

In this November 6 photo, Eric Forkapa, left, and his wife LuAnne Forkapa of Toledo, hold the flag that was draped over the casket of Forkapa’s father, Milan Forkapa Jr., during his burial at Arlington National Cemetery. Milan Forkapa, a POW for nearly a year during World War II whose final wish was to be buried in Arlington National Cemetery, died 10 years ago; he was recently laid to rest in the cemetery.

Family of Ohio veteran fulfills his final wish TOLEDO (AP) — Exclamation points punctuated Milan Forkapa’s life. When he died, there was no question mark. He would be laid to rest at Arlington National Cemetery, a place of honor for the fighter pilot whose aerial achievements were shouted about: Forkapa wins national competitive race! Forkapa brings Toledo its first jet aircraft! “He told us he wanted to be buried there. That was Dad’s final wish,” his son Eric of Maumee said. “That’s all that was needed to be said. We would make sure it happened.” Milan Forkapa, a World War II veteran and former Air National Guard commander who later served (among several jobs) as Lucas County administrator, died of pneumonia at 77 in April, 2001. Memorial services were held in Perrysburg, but family tensions clouded the Arlington burial plans that had been on the horizon. As Eric and his siblings Rian Forkapa of Perrysburg, Jody Forkapa of Maumee, and Nancy Platzer of Bowling Green mourned their loss, their stepmother, who was in possession of the urn with Milan Forkapa’s ashes, went off the radar, the sons said. Year after year after year, the final wish remained unfulfilled and then came a knock at the door. There, on the porch of Eric’s home in Maumee a few months ago stood a stranger, a friend of the stepmother, who died a year ago. The stranger was carrying boxes of Milan Forkapa’s belongings. Personal, one-of-kind, irreplaceable items. Letters written during the war. Detailed flight records. Treasured family keep-

sakes. And there, in a sterling silver urn engraved with an Air Force emblem, were Forkapa’s ashes. Overwhelmed with relief, and astonished by the kindness, Eric said, “We thanked him a thousand and one times. He didn’t have to do that for us, but he did.” Immediately, the siblings scrambled to fulfill their father’s dying wish. After a slew of phone calls and piles of paperwork, plans were in place. On a recent sunny, 70degree day in the nation’s capital, Milan Forkapa’s family gathered for a funeral procession. “Arlington is a very big place,” Eric said. “We drove out to the site, and standing there were six horses with a carriage carrying a casket with an American flag. There was a 15 to 20piece band. There were 15 other soldiers, all done up in Air Force uniforms, looking just like Dad.” Forkapa’s urn was placed in the casket, and then the caisson rolled along the roadway, passing rows of stark white crosses. As the band played “God Bless America,” family and friends followed the carriage to a nearby columbarium where the urn was nestled into a niche after a brief service. The American flag that had draped the casket was folded for presentation to the family. Hand-written letters were presented as well, including one from the secretary of defense, “thanking our father for everything he did for our country,” Eric said. Burial in Arlington honors the decorated World War II fighter pilot, the son said. “He was shot down and taken prisoner of war. He earned that right to be buried in Arlington, and it is truly an amazing place.

It is a perfect piece of property. Every stone, every cross is straight up and down.” Arlington holds a special place in America, a place where visitors can see the grave sites of those who sacrificed to make this country as great as it is, Bentley said. Forkapa knew about sacrifices. He completed 24 combat missions as a fighter pilot before he was shot down off the coast of Italy just before D-Day. Italians tried to hide the pilot in the bowels of a boat, “but when they got into port, the Germans went through the whole boat and found him. They darn near beat him to death. They broke his legs,” son Rian said. Forkapa didn’t talk much about war, but he did say he wished that when the Germans found him and they were beating him, they would have finished him off. That would have spared him months of torture. “He was a heck of a guy. He had a heck of a life,” said Rian, who said he was awe-struck by the military funeral for his father at Arlington National Cemetery. He didn’t expect such fanfare. Next year on Nov. 11, Veterans Day, Rian Forkapa will return to Arlington National Cemetery. He will pay his respects to the fallen soldiers. He will visit his father’s final resting place. “My dad had friends interred there. Throughout his life, he knew the meaning and everything that goes along with a place such as Arlington. We realize what an honor it is for him, being able to be buried there. That was his final wish.” At long last, skies conquered. Mission accomplished.

Since there were none in stock, store managers were forced to hand over the store’s only floor model, against store policy. So today, immediate action is being taken to give more people, more ways to get them. Beginning at 8:30 a.m., today’s readers are allowed to phone in or snag one online. Heat Surge even posted a 2-Day Double Coupon which has been reprinted on this page for today’s readers to use. By using this coupon, everyone who calls is being rewarded with $198. That makes this remarkable new home appliance a real steal at just $398. The Double Coupon Deal also entitles you to free home delivery. So now everyone has a fair shot at getting one. “ Fo l k s a r e s av i n g m o n e y everywhere with the new Heat Surge HT L .E .D.,” said Kris Rumel, the analyst tracking the impact Heat Surge is having on consumer heat bills. This all started when Sears wanted the world-famous ‘Amish Miracle Heater’ that everyone was asking for. The shy but now famous Amish craftsman said Sears made the most sense. “I’d reckon they’re the oldest and most trusted in the country,” one of the Amish craftsmen known as Melvin said. “We’ve been saving folks money, big money. And we know it because we’re hearin’ about it,” he said. “They know about our quality. No particle board, just real wood. Fully-assembled cabinets by our hands and we’re making them right here in the good ole USA,” Melvin said. Director of Technology David Martin explained, “The Heat Surge HT L.E.D. is a revolutionary appliance that can easily roll from room to room. But we didn’t want it to look like some metal box that just sits there. So we turned to our Amish craftsmen and now each one is made to look like a sleek, slim fireplace that has no real flames.” “The peaceful flicker of the ‘Fireless Flame’ is so beautiful, everyone thinks it’s real, but it’s totally safe to the touch. All you do is just plug it in,” Martin said. People from Maine to Mississippi and even Florida and Arizona are flocking to get them because they are finally able to give their central heat a rest during this long, frigid winter. According to the avalanche of consumer reviews, people absolutely swear by them, repeatedly saying, “it saves money,” “looks beautiful,” and “keeps you warm head to toe, floor to ceiling.” And the word is getting out. That’s why people are clamoring to get them. But Martin said right now the real problem is making sure the Amish craftsmen can keep up with the looming Christmas rush. That’s why the Double Coupon expires in two days. So for readers hoping to get the new Heat Surge for themselves and take care of Christmas gifts for others, there is good news. You can use the 2-Day Double Coupon more than once. But there is a catch. You can only get away with it for the next two days from the date of today’s publication by calling the National Appliance Center at 1-888-209-8569. Then, when it arrives, you’ll be rushing to turn down that thermostat. Just plug it in, watch your heat bills hit rock bottom, and never be cold again. N

Stenhouse Jr. wins Nationwide title HOMESTEAD, Fla. (AP) — Ricky Stenhouse Jr. nearly lost his job 18 months ago. He was finishing near the back of fields and floundering for Roush Fenway Racing. Team owner Jack Roush stuck with him, pushing him in meetings, challenging him at racetracks and dogging him all the time. It worked wonders — and led to a championship. Stenhouse won the Nationwide Series title long before the checkered flag dropped at the season finale Saturday. He clinched his first championship about 30 laps into

the 200-lap race, securing the title when six cars officially dropped out of the 300-mile event at Homestead-Miami Speedway. For Stenhouse, it was a long time coming. “They believed in me when we were struggling,” Stenhouse said. “Everyone rallied together. It just means the world to bring this championship to Jack.” Stenhouse was running fourth when NASCAR officials AP PHOTO announced he had wrapped up Ricky Stenhouse Jr. celebrates after winning the NASCAR the title.

Penn State tops OSU thanks to stingy ‘D’ By The Associated Press The last time Penn State won a game without Joe Paterno as coach was December 1965. That day, the Nittany Lions used a strong defensive effort to beat Maryland, behind the coach who mentored Paterno, Rip Engle.

Scandals put other programs on guard By The Associated Press First Penn State. Now Syracuse. Concerned that allegations of sex abuse in two big college sports programs could trigger more cases around the country, universities are urging employees to reread their school’s reporting policies, while more closely scrutinizing the people who work in their athletic departments. Those reminders were circulating even as news of the scandals kept unfolding. On Friday, the NCAA notified Penn State it would investigate the school for lack of institutional control resulting from the child sex abuse allegations against Joe

Paterno’s former assistant coach, Jerry Sandusky. The evening before, Syracuse placed basketball coach Jim Boeheim’s top assistant, Bernie Fine, on leave after old allegations resurfaced that he molested two former ballboys. Sandusky and Fine each have denied the accusations against them. In his letter to Penn State, NCAA president Mark Emmert restated a message that schools have been receiving simply by watching the news. “It is critical that each campus and the NCAA as an Association reexamine how we constrain or encourage behaviors that lift up young people rather than making them victims,” Emmert wrote.

Earlier this week at Michigan, president Mary Sue Coleman wrote an open letter to the university community reminding people to call 911 or the police department if they see a crime in progress. “This is a chance to remind one another that a community’s values are lived out in the actions of each of us as individuals,” she wrote. At St. John’s, athletic director Chris Monasch said the incidents offered a good opportunity to emphasize to staffers “that if there is an issue that’s inappropriate you have to deal with it immediately.” “A cover-up only makes it more severe,” Monasch said. “Certainly, we do background checks on the people we hire for summer camps

and those types of things. We’re trying to take precautions, but I don’t know how you can prepare for some of those things.” John Burness, the former longtime vice president of public affairs at Duke, said there could be a “safety in numbers,” element for victims who keep details of their abuse quiet, but suddenly see a chance to seek justice. “I’m not surprised, nor would I be surprised, if we saw people coming forward now to make allegations,” Burness said. “Because it could be more comfortable to do so. That shouldn’t be discouraged. It should be encouraged. At the same time, we have to realize that every allegation is not necessarily true.”

Buckeyes ■ CONTINUED FROM A7 know: How are you going to be remembered?’” They’ll be remembered as at least co-champs of the Big Ten’s Leaders Division. By clinching a share of the division title, Penn State (9-2, 6-1) set up showdown next week at Wisconsin, with the winner playing Michigan State in the conference’s first championship game on Dec. 3. Jay Paterno, the Nittany Lions’ offensive coordinator and the son of the deposed legend, was already thinking ahead. “As I’ve been trained to do my whole life, immediately (I) began to think about next week,” he said of what was going through his head as he walked off the field at Ohio Stadium. “Essentially, we’re in the Big Ten semifinal. I started to think about Wisconsin and I’ll have some nightmares tonight.” Joe Paterno was a longtime assistant under Engle before getting promoted in 1966. The last game Engle coached, Penn State beat Maryland 19-7 on Dec. 4, 1965. The last time Penn State won a game without Joe Paterno on staff was Nov. 12, 1949, a 28-7 victory at Temple. In what was expected to be a defensive struggle, the teams did all of their scoring in the opening half before the defenses took over. Braxton Miller ran for a touchdown and threw a 7yard scoring pass to Jake Stoneburner for Ohio State (6-5, 3-4), but he had an intentional grounding and three incompletions on the Buckeyes’ final possession. The teams exchanged handshakes at midfield after the opening coin toss although there was a smattering of boos from the Buckeyes faithful. It was a gesture of mutual respect and sportsmanship in the wake of the

A former defensive assistant coach was arrested two weeks earlier for allegedly molesting several young boys. Paterno was fired, the university president and AD lost their jobs and the NCAA is looking into the athletic program’s actions. Bradley said he spoke about how everyone was watching to see how the Nittany Lions would react and behave. “I challenged the guys on the team to show a lot of character and resolve,” he said. “Which they did.” Luke Fickell, Ohio State’s interim head coach, was dogged by questions of his future. There have been numerous uncorroborated reports out there that the Buckeyes have already reached an agreement with former Florida coach Urban Meyer. “I don’t think this is the time nor the place,” Fickell said. “We’re talking about the game, and we’re going to move on and talk about

So I’m not going to waste a whole lot of my energy on it.” Ohio State had one last shot to win the game, taking over after a Penn State punt with 36 seconds left. But Miller was being sacked by linebacker Nate Stupar when he was called for intentionally grounding. Miller then was incom-

plete on three desperation heaves as a small pocket of Penn State fans ran onto the field to celebrate. The teams were scoreless in the third quarter, thanks to a goal-line stand by the Buckeyes. Ohio State gave up the ball at its own 11 when Jordan Hall’s wildcat handoff to Dan Herron was muffed in the backfield and Jordan Hill fell on the loose ball for the Nittany Lions.

PISCATAWAY, N.J. (AP) — Despite being picked to finish last in the Big East Conference preseason poll, Rutgers has given itself a shot at the league title and a BCS bowl bid. All the Scarlet Knights need is a one more win and a little help. Freshman Jawan Jamison rushed for a career-high 200 yards and two touchdowns and surprising Rutgers (8-3, 4-2) moved into a share of first place with a dominating 20-3 victory over Cincinnati on Saturday. “We’ve been waiting on this,” said Jamison, who carried 34 times and scored on runs of 12 and 1 yard. “We’ve been waiting to get the running game back on. We’ve been waiting to get back up there and get the bowl game, a BIG bowl game and then I hope we get to win it. This just feels really good.” The victory moved Rutgers into a tie for first with Louisville (6-5, 4-2), which beat Connecticut 34-20 Saturday. Cincinnati (7-3, 3-2), West Virginia (7-3, 3-2) and Pittsburgh (5-5, 3-2) are a half game back. The Scarlet Knights, who finish their regular season at Connecticut next weekend, need to have West Virginia lose one of their last two league games to have any chance at winning the league crown and getting the BCS bid. Rutgers two losses were to Louisville and West Virginia, so it does not control its own destiny. “We gave up that right when we didn’t do things earlier this year,” coach

Greg Schiano said. Rutgers gained 385 yards, including 212 on the ground, and held the ball for more than 38 minutes in what might have been its best game in years. “I thought today the way we ran the football that’s what we want to be,” Schiano said. Buffalo 51, Akron 10 BUFFALO, N.Y. — Branden Oliver ran for two touchdowns as Buffalo snapped a fourgame losing streak with a 51-10 win over Akron on Saturday. Oliver rushed for 235 yards and has 1,268 this season, just 65 yards short of the school record with one game remaining. Kent State 28, E. Michigan 22 KENT — Kent State rallied three separate times to stun the Eastern Michigan Eagles, 28-22, and win their fourth consecutive game at Dix Stadium Saturday afternoon. With the win, the Flashes (5-6, 4-3) improve to 3-0 in the month of November for the second time since the 1976 season and stay in contention for a share of Mid-American the Conference East Division crown and bowl eligibility with a win next week and an Ohio loss.

Ball runs for 224, Wisconsin rallies past Illinois CHAMPAIGN, Ill. (AP) — Montee Ball rushed for 224 yards and scored three times, and No. 15 Wisconsin forced four turnovers in a comeback victory, 28-17 over Illinois. On a day when stiff winds limited Wisconsin’s passing attack, Ball was dominant. He had 164 yards on the ground as Wisconsin scored 21 unanswered points in the second half. Donovonn Young rushed for two TDs for Illinois (6-5, 2-5 Big 10), which has lost five straight. He finished with 43 yards on eight carries. Illinois outgained Wisconsin 301-285, but the turnovers — a fumble and three interceptions — combined with special teams mistakes doomed the Illini. The Badgers (9-2, 5-2) scored on drives of 44, 39, 30 and 2 yards. Their first 14 points were set up by an Illinois turnover and a badly botched punt. Penn State (9-2, 6-1) earned a share of the Big Ten’s Leaders Division title with its win at Ohio State and set up a division title game next week at Wisconsin. The winner will play in the conference’s first championship game on Dec. 3 against Michigan State. No. 1 LSU 52, MISSISSIPPI 3

NASCAR ■ CONTINUED FROM A7 behind Brad Keselowski. Carl Edwards was third, followed by Clint Bowyer, Denny Hamlin and Elliott Sadler. Edwards clinched the owner’s title for Roush, who is looking to become the first owner in NASCAR history to win both the Sprint Cup and

Nationwide championships in the same season. Edwards leads Tony Stewart by three points heading into Sunday’s season finale. Edwards and Stenhouse parked their cars nose to nose and did a double burnout to celebrate. For Stenhouse, it was something he couldn’t have

imagined early last season. “We were down in the dumps,” Stenhouse said. “This crew right here, they didn’t give up on me. They were with us all through last year and just glad to be here.” Roush said he always believed Stenhouse would turn things around. “He just wanted it so

bad and he was good at doing what he did,” Roush said. “He couldn’t figure out how big the box was he needed to be in. His dad helped him figure out the limits on the box, as I did. He was ready to come back and run for a championship.”

Tony Stewart has run his mouth for almost a month trying to rattle Carl Edwards in the race to NASCAR’s championship. Edwards has tuned it all out, and on Saturday he did his talking on the track.

Presbyterian shocks Cincinnati CINCINNATI (AP) — A stunning loss has Cincinnati coach Mick Cronin considering lineup changes only three games into the season. Khalid Mutakabbir led Presbyterian’s comeback from a 15-point deficit, hitting a go-ahead 3-pointer with 7.6 seconds left Saturday, and the Blue Hose pulled off a 56-54 upset of the 20th-ranked Bearcats. “I’ve got a team that had a false sense of security about who we are,” Cronin said. The Blue Hose (3-2) trailed by 15 midway through the second half. Mutakabbir hit one big shot after another, including his 3 from the left wing that gave Presbyterian its first lead of the second half. He matched his career high with 25 points. Cincinnati (2-1) missed an attempt to tie at the with Cashmere end, Wright’s shot going off the rim. Presbyterian got the rebound, the buzzer sounded, and the celebration started at midcourt while 4,960 fans booed the home team. The Bearcats were ranked in the preseason for the first time since 2003. A stunning collapse against a team in only its fifth Division I season provided a reality check. “You just take it as a learning experience,” center Yancy Gates said. “Probably some guys think we’re better than we are. Hopefully it will humble us as a team.” After getting that 15point lead, the Bearcats went back into a shooting slump and repeatedly broke down on defense. The Blue Hose caught them with a closing 24-7 run. “The stuff that goes on at the last 10 minutes defensively is beyond my comprehension beyond my comprehension,” Cronin said. “We’re not tough enough. Really, simply, it was laziness on different guys’ parts.” The Bearcats opened the game in a 1-for-16 shooting slump and made only 35.5 percent for the game against a defense that made it tough to get an open shot when it mattered. Cincinnati pulled out of its cold shooting stretch behind Sean Kilpatrick, who made four 3s during a 13-4 run that made it 4734 with 10 minutes to go. In the closing seconds, Kilpatrick missed a baseline shot that gave Presbyterian its final chance to take the lead. He finished with 19 points.

Cincinnati guard Sean Kilpatrick (23) runs off the court as Presbyterian players celebrate in background after upsetting No. 20 Cincinnati 56-54 Saturday in Cincinnati. “That’s mostly our problem, the fact that when we do get up, we stop playing,” Kilpatrick said. “It shouldn’t even be like that for a team like that to come back like that, and they did. It’s kind of frustrating.” Presbyterian, which moved up to Division I in 2007, is in the middle of a stretch of three games in five days. The Blue Hose already have played a role in history their 96-55 loss at Duke on Nov. 12 gave coach Mike Krzyzewski his 902nd win, tying Bob Knight for the Division I men’s mark. Krzyzewski moved ahead of Knight with a win over Michigan State on Tuesday. This time, Presbyterian was on the court at the end, celebrating a little of its own history its biggest win in Division I. For Cincinnati, it was the third of six straight home games to open the season. The Bearcats’ opening stretch includes Alabama State, Jacksonville State, P r e s b y t e r i a n , Northwestern State, Marshall and Miami of Ohio. This one will sting for a long time.

Syracuse placed Fine on administrative leave “in light of the new allegations” that he molested two former ball boys for years.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — John Jenkins scored 28 points and No. 18 Vanderbilt closed the game on a 10-2 run for an 86-79 victory over North Carolina State on Saturday night in the semifinals of the TicketCity Legends Classic.

MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) — Ryo Ishikawa and the rest of the International team built leads in five of the opening seven matches Sunday to keep alive slim hopes of a recordtying comeback in the Presidents Cup. It didn’t take long for Jim Furyk, David Tom, Tiger Woods and Steve Stricker to shore up the back end of the lineup. The Americans had a 13-9 lead going into the 12 singles matches Sunday, and needed to win five matches there are no halves until the cup is decided to win the cup for the fourth straight time. Ishikawa was the only

International player among the first three matches who trailed, and it wasn’t for long. He won the par-3 third hole with a bogey when Bubba Watson, needing two putts to win from the back of the green, putted it onto the fairway and made double bogey. Ishikawa was on his way to an easy win. Adam Scott also was having as easy time, in large part because of his opponent. Phil Mickelson, undefeated in three matches this week, conceded the first three holes — Scott had 15foot birdies on each of them — and conceded yet another hole on No. 8 to fall 4 down.

College ■ CONTINUED FROM A7 Against Cal Lutheran, Donathan and freshman setting partner Meghan Vodopich each had 16 assists. Donathan added five digs, while Vodopich added two digs and four service aces. Against Eastern, Donathan had another 16 assists and four digs, while Vodopich had 19 assists, four digs and an ace. • Louisville Sets Mark MEMPHIS — Erin Yenney added to her stellar freshman season at Louisville Friday night. Already having scored two game-winning goals on the season, the Troy High School grad dished out arguably the most

important assist of her career, setting up the tiebreaking score in a 2-0 Cardinals victory over fifth-ranked Memphis in the second round of the NCAA Tournament. The Cardinals, who won their first-ever NCAA Tournament game in the first round, improved to 14-6-3 on the season — a new school record for wins in a year. They will face No. 1 seed and ninthranked Florida State today at 3 p.m. in the third round. Yenney’s assist came with less than 22 minutes to play as she set up Kim Sharo for the game’s first goal — and the eventual game-winner. It was Yenney’s third assist on the season.

■ National Basketball Association

Unlike NFL lockout, NBA’s truly jeopardizes season By The Associated Press Minnesota Timberwolves forward Anthony Tolliver was watching back in March, when pro football players such as Tom Brady and Drew Brees announced they were disbanding their union and suing the NFL under antitrust law. “We’ll see how the next steps go,” Tolliver said at the time. “Hopefully we’ll learn from them.” Well, now it’s time to find out what Tolliver and his peers picked up. He’s one of a handful of basketball players, including All-Stars Carmelo Anthony and Kevin Durant, who filed

class-action antitrust complaints against the NBA in federal court during the past week. That could lead to a dragged-out legal process or as happened with the NFL’s labor dispute wind up bringing the sides back to the negotiating table. “We’ve seen every twist and turn, and I imagine we’ll see many more. Hopefully a settlement can be reached, relatively quickly, and the (NBA) season can be saved,” said Jeffrey Kessler, outside counsel for both the NFL and NBA players’ associations. “That would be the best result for everyone, to have a litiga-

tion settlement now.” The NBA’s lockout came swiftly on the heels of the NFL’s, already has lasted longer, and there’s one significant difference: Football’s labor dispute resulted in the loss of only a single exhibition game, while the NBA is on its way down the path toward a shortened regular season if one is played at all. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell spoke repeatedly about getting a deal done and keeping the season intact. When the most recent round of NBA talks broke off Monday, Commissioner David Stern spoke about a “nuclear win-

ter” and said it appeared “the 2011-12 season is really in jeopardy.” Tuesday was the first time players missed out on a twice-a-month paycheck because of the lockout; people who work at an NBA arena or a nearby bar or restaurant already began feeling lighter in their pockets last month, when preseason games began getting wiped out. “This lockout doesn’t just hurt players. It hurts workers. It hurts cities. It hurts people who really need the income provided by the NBA,” Kessler said. “But what people have to keep in mind is that the players don’t want this lockout.”

For the time being, the only chance to see All-Stars such as LeBron James or Dwight Howard in action is to catch one of the playerorganized games for charity. Unless, that is, some of them follow through on opportunities to play overseas: Kobe Bryant was in contact with a team in Italy; Dwyane Wade authorized his agent to listen to viable offers. NFL players didn’t have that international option, of course. Both leagues’ labor problems began, at their heart, as arguments over how to divide billions of dollars in revenues about $9 billion for

the NFL, $4 billion for the NBA but also over how to change the rules governing player contracts and free agency. Both featured acrimonious dialogue in public. Both bothered fans who couldn’t understand why it was so hard to find common ground. “The NFL owners and players had time to let the legal battle play out,” said Gabe Feldman, director of the Sports Law program at Tulane. “The NBA owners and players don’t. This has to be a quick legal strike and, unfortunately in our litigation system, there aren’t many opportunities to get a quick legal strike.”

MIAMI VALLEY SUNDAY NEWS • WWW.TROYDAILYNEWS.COM

Oil boom pushes seniors out of homes Rents skyrocket as demand grows WILLISTON, N.D. (AP) — After living all of her 82 years in the same community, Lois Sinness left her hometown this month, crying and towing a U-Haul packed with her every possession. She didn’t want to go, but the rent on her $700-amonth apartment was going up almost threefold because of heightened demand for housing generated by North Dakota’s oil bonanza. Other seniors in her complex and across the western part of the state are in the same predicament. “Our rents were raised, and we did not have a choice,” Sinness said. “We’re all on fixed incomes, living mostly on Social Security, so it’s been a terrible shock.” It’s an irony of the area’s economic success: The same booming development that made North Dakota virtually immune to the Great Recession has forced many longtime residents to abandon their homes, including seniors who carved towns like Williston out of the unforgiving prairie long before oil money arrived. In addition to raising

the rent, Sinness’ landlords were going to require even long-term tenants to pay a $2,000 deposit. She fled for a cheaper apartment in Bismarck, beyond the oil patch, where her daughter also lives. Her new home is 230 miles away. Thanks to new drilling techniques that make it possible to tap onceunreachable caches of crude, a region that used to have plenty of elbow room is now swarming with armies of workers. Nodding pumps dot the wide, mostly barren landscape. But because it has limited housing, the area is illprepared to handle the influx of people. The result is that some rents have risen to the level of some of the nation’s largest cities, with modest two-bedroom apartments commonly going for as much as $2,000. The skyrocketing cost of living is all the talk at the senior center in downtown Williston. “Grandma can’t go to work in the oil fields and make a 150 grand a year,” said A.J. Mock, director of the Williston Council for the Aging. Many of the seniors who are moving out

The Sundbys were notified last month that their rent would nearly triple to $2,000 a month.

For starters, store credit cards tend to have higher interest rates; the Macy’s card, for instance, carries an interest rate of 24.5 percent. If you tend to carry a balance, that means the interest charges you incur over time will eat into any savings you achieve initially. Another risk is that stores constantly offer cardholders special discounts and sales to get them to spend more. This can work to your advantage if you shop at the store regularly anyway. But if you’re trying to stay on a budget, try to avoid such temptations. PITFALL 4: SPENDING JUST TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF REWARDS The promise of rewards may lead you to subconsciously spend more liberally than you normally would. But be realistic about exactly how much those rewards are saving you. If you’re earning 1 percent cash back, that would $5 back for $500 in purchases. That’s great if you were going to spend the money anyway, but a different matter if you use rewards to rationalize big purchases.

Don’t let deals lull you into spending conditions before cashing in. With the Chase Sapphire Preferred card, for example, cardholders need to spend $3,000 in the first three months after the card is opened to qualify for the bonus. In other cases, airlinebranded cards may promise new customers enough miles for a free domestic ticket. But those customers will still need to pay the fees and taxes for the ticket, which can amount to several hundred dollars. So if a promotion catches your eye, be sure to ask what you need to do to earn the advertised bonus. You also want to be careful not to let the bonus blind you of the card’s other terms. Even if it has a generous rewards program, a hefty annual fee might negate its value if you don’t typically charge a lot your credit cards. PITFALL 2: FAILING TO CONSIDER YOUR CREDIT SCORE In the excitement of opening a new card, it’s easy to forget the impact a new account can have on your

NEW YORK (AP) — It seems like the most wonderful time of year for credit card rewards. With the holiday season fast approaching, card issuers are dangling big sign-on bonuses and richer rewards that they say will help consumers offset their spending sprees. But the incentives could backfire by nudging you to rack up more charges than you intended. In other cases, the fine print may mean you won’t qualify for the promised savings. That’s not to say you should resist all deals, which are plentiful this time of year. But the key is to go in with your eyes wide open. If you’re strategizing, here are four credit card pitfalls to watch: PITFALL 1: THE LURE OF THE SIGN-ON BONUS When you know you’re about to hit the gas on spending, it makes sense to see if there are sign-on bonuses you can capitalize on. The catch is that you will likely have to meet some

WEEKLY REVIEW NYSE

thousands of homes in nearby Minot last summer has exacerbated the housing shortage. Developers have been slow to build more apartments, largely because they got stung by the region’s last oil boom when it went bust in the 1980s. About 1,000 new housing units are planned for this year, but no one expects them to make a real dent in demand. Local officials are “turning over every rock to see if we can find a solution,” Mayor Ward Koeser said. But “nothing has been found yet.” He blamed the issue on supply and demand, and in some cases, greed and gouging. North Dakota law forbids capping rental rates. And dozens of low-income housing units built decades ago are now being used to house oil workers at higher prices. Jolene Kline, director of the state’s Housing Finance Agency, said landlords who have pulled out of the low-income program have fulfilled legal requirements to provide the housing for 15 or 30 years. But, she added, that doesn’t make it right. “You can’t put people in these situations, and in the worst cases, make them homeless because they can’t afford shelter anymore,” Kline said.

credit score. A new line of credit could ding scores by as much as 25 points, according to Barry Paperno, consumer affairs manager for FICO, which develops the most widely used credit scores. That’s based on a range from 300 to those with poor credit, to 850 for those with excellent credit. The exact impact will vary depending on other factors in the individual’s profile. For instance, it might not be as severe for those with excellent credit who haven’t opened a new card in several years, Paperno notes. Scores typically recover from new account openings after about three to six months, assuming you make payments on time and don’t open any other accounts. PITFALL 3: OPENING A RETAIL CARD FOR THE DISCOUNT Signing up for a store credit card in exchange for a big discount is particularly tempting during the holidays. But beware of hastily accepting a sales clerk’s pitch.

Announcing the retirement Seif al-Islam Gadhafi captured of Dr. Douglas Randolph DDS from dental practice at 16 N. Miami St. West Milton, Ohio 45383 ZINTAN, Libya (AP) — Moammar Gadhafi’s former heir apparent Seif alIslam was captured by revolutionary fighters in the southern desert Saturday just over a month after his father was killed, setting off joyous celebrations across Libya and closing the door on the possibility that the fugitive son could stoke further insurrection. Seif al-Islam who has undergone a transformation from a voice of reform in an eccentric and reviled regime to one of Interpol’s most-wanted now faces the prospect of trial before an international or Libyan court to answer for the

alleged crimes of his late father’s four-decade rule over the oil-rich North African nation. Thunderous celebratory gunfire shook the Libyan capital of Tripoli and other cities after Libyan officials said Seif al-Islam, who has been charged by the International Criminal Court for crimes against humanity, had been detained about 30 miles (50 kilometers) west of the town of Obari in an area that borders Niger, Mali and Algeria. A photograph was widely circulated showing the 39-year-old son in custody, sitting by a bed and hold-

Prepare a Thanksgiving feast Thanksgiving is a time to gather with loved ones and give gratitude for the blessings in our lives. But let’s face it, it’s also a time to indulge in a bountiful feast. Traditionally, families stick with the standards and recipes handed down from generation to generation. But if you want to toss tradition aside — just a bit — try one of the following turkey or sweet potato recipes. Turkey and sweet potatoes are Thanksgiving standards, but these recipes offer some unexpected flavor twists.

By the Associated Press • Want the secret to a beautifully bronzed roasted Thanksgiving turkey? It’s all in a bottle. We’ve found that no roasting technique produces that perfectly browned bird quite as well as a dumping a bottle of soy sauce over the turkey just before popping it in the oven. So this year we decided to embrace the technique, but elevate it with more sophisticated flavor. We paired the soy sauce with citrus zests. The results were delicious and beautiful. As was the gravy that resulted from the rich pan drippings.

• For this combination of sweet and heat, we reached for a bunch of spice cabinet and baking shelf staples. We start with a base of brown sugar (light or dark, it doesn’t matter). We then tame that sweet jolt with smoked paprika, chili powder, onion powder, cayenne, garlic powder, salt, pepper and thyme. That mixture gets rubs all over the CITRUS-SOY SAUCE turkey, inside and out, over and TURKEY WITH GRAVY under the skin. The result is as described a Start to finish: 3 to 4 hours Makes a 12- to 14-pound turkey sweet and spicy flavor that permeates the meat and pairs so with gravy well with the rest of the meal. 10-ounce bottle reduced-sodium soy sauce 2 oranges 1 lemon 12- to 14-pound turkey 2 large yellow onions, quartered 1/2 cup white wine 2 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour Salt and ground black pepper, to taste Heat the oven to 350 F. In a blender, combine the soy sauce and the zests of both oranges and the lemon. Blend until smooth. Place the turkey on a rack set in a large roasting pan. Scatter the onion pieces under the rack. Cut the oranges and lemon into chunks and put inside the turkey cavity. Pour the soy sauce mixture all over the turkey and into the cavity of the bird, coating all the surfaces. Roast for 2 to 2 1/2 hours, or until the breast reaches 160 F and the thickest part of the thigh reaches 170 F. If the turkey begins to darken too much, cover with foil. Transfer the turkey to a serving platter, cover with foil and a couple layers of kitchen towels to keep warm. Remove the rack from the roasting pan. Use a slotted spoon to remove and discard the onions. Place the roasting pan on the stovetop over medium heat and bring the juices to a simmer. Add the wine and scrape up any browned bits in the pan. In a small bowl, whisk together the chicken broth and flour. Pour into the pan, whisking constantly. Simmer for 5 minutes, while continuing to stir. For a smoother gravy, you can transfer the mixture to a blender, in batches as needed, and puree until smooth. Season with salt and black pepper. Serve the turkey with the gravy.

Holiday bird, fixings cost more this year

In this 2007 file photo, a freezer case of frozen turkeys is seen at Market Basket in Concord, N.H. The American Farm Bureau Federation reported Nov. 10 that a meal with turkey and all the trimmings will cost about 13 percent more this holiday. The costs for nearly everything from cranberries to pumpkin pie are up. But the biggest price hike is for the main course: a 16-pound turkey costs 4 percent more this year at $21.57.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Putting a traditional turkey dinner on the table is going to be pricier this Thanksgiving. The American Farm Bureau Federation reported Nov. 10 that a meal with turkey and all the trimmings will cost about 13 percent more this year. The trade group estimates a classic meal for 10 will cost $49.20 on average. That is $5.73 more than last year’s $43.47 average. The meal will cost less than $5 a person, but it’s still much more expensive than in years past. The jump results from food makers and grocers raising their prices to cover higher commodity costs. Nearly everything from cranberries to pumpkin pie is pricier this year, but the biggest hike is for the main

course: A 16-pound turkey costs almost $4 more this year, at $21.57, according to the trade group. The group surveyed prices in stores nationwide. But grocers often discount key items as the holiday approaches and that could reduce the cost of Thanksgiving dinner. John Anderson, senior economist for the Farm Bureau, said it’s important to remember that Americans spend a smaller percentage of their income on food than most people around the world. “Given what is going on in the economy, higher prices on anything are not welcome,” Anderson said. “(But) it does not have the same impact as food prices in other parts of the world do. We are fortunate in that sense.”

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

IT HAPPENED YEARS AGO BY PATRICK D. KENNEDY For the Troy Daily News 25 Years Ago: Nov. 20-Dec. 3, 1986 • TROY — Former wellknown businessman, John J. Shanesy has died. Mr. Shanesy was a longtime merchant in downtown Troy, selling home appliances for Rike’s Department Store. In 1934, following a meeting with David Rike, Mr. Shanesy set up the first Rike appliance store outside of the Dayton area. Mr. Shanesy continued his work until 1959, when he retired, and the store was taken over by his son Tom. In 1980, the business became an independent dealer and the name changed to Shaughnessy’s T.V. and Appliance. John Shanesy was a veteran of World War I and through the Thompson American Legion Post 43 was one of the people responsible for bringing legion baseball to Troy. Mr. Shanesy, the grandson of Irish immigrants, was 90 years old. (Columnist’s Note: Mr. Shanesy had three children who also lived long lives, John “Jack,” Tom, and Ruth. Tom passed away in 2000, Ruth last year at 87 and Jack, just earlier this year at 91.) • TROY — The people of Troy will soon have a new museum in which to exhibit their heritage from the 1840s to present day. The Girl’s Civiv League of Troy, which has disbanded, donated the former John Kitchen house on East Water Street to the Troy Historical Society last year to be used as a musuem and now, after a remodeling using a grant from the Troy Foundation, the new exhibit center is set to open in one week. Troy will now has an historical research library at the Troy-Hayner Cultural Center, a joint effort of the Troy-Miami County Public Library and the Troy Historical Society, but also a museum of pioneer history (The Overfield Tavern) and the new museum, which will cover the period after the Overfield. John Bird, Velma Schlemmer, Loretta Laufer, Violet Hotzler, Frank Bazler, Charles Hormel and Barbara Shepherd are the board members of the new museum. (Columnist’s Note:

50 Years Ago: Nov. 20-Dec. 3, 1961 An Ording’s advertisement from 1961. Ording’s and the Christmas trees are still there on South Market Street. Troy has a rich history and we are fortunate to have many venues to keep that history “alive,” including the Troy-Miami County Public Library’s Local History Library, still a joint effort with the Troy Historical Society, which has its own building; The Overfield Tavern Museum and Annex; The Museum of Troy History; and WACO Historical Museum. 50 Years Ago: Nov. 20-Dec. 3, 1961 • PIQUA — The Atomic Energy Commission is ready to begin testing the reactor in Piqua which has been under construction since 1960. The commission should begin testing the facility tomorrow (Nov. 24) and if everything checks out in the 11,400 kilowat reactor, then continuous testing will last for approximately 6 months. Assuming all those tests are good, the test reactor will be used over a five year period to compare the costs and efficiency of running an atomic power station versus traditional coal and steam plants to power cities such as Piqua.

• TROY — Another one of Troy’s former football players has concluded his college career. Herb Hartman was a standout player in Troy with along with Bob Ferguson, Ron Stoner, Ron Houck, Gabe Hartman and many others on some of the best teams in Troy history. Young Hartman decided to go to Captial University in Columbus where he has lettered during the last three years playing for the Crusaders. He is also a part of the Capital track team and will be the captain during the coming season. Hartman is working toward a Bachelor of Science degree in education and is planning a career in teaching and coaching. (Columnist’s Note: Mission Accomplished. Mr. Hartman spent many years at Troy High School as an art instructor and as a coach in both football and track. Many students in Troy can look back and see his successful work in these areas.). 75 Years Ago: Nov. 20-Dec. 3, 1936 • TROY — David S. Porter, brother of Susan Pauly of Troy,

has joined the local law firm of Gilbert and Miller. Mr. Porter has been practicing in Tennessee since 1934 in the legal department of the Tennessee Valley Authority. (Columnist’s Note: David S. Porter (Sept. 23, 1909Jan. 5, 1989) was born in Cincinnati and graduated from the University of Cincinnati in 1932 and earned a J.D. from the UC College of Law in 1934. He was in private practice in Troy from 1936 to 1949 and then became a judge on the Court of Common Pleas from 1949 to 1966. He was appointed as a federal judge on the United States District Court for the Southern District of Ohio. Porter was nominated by President Johnson in 1966 and was confirmed by the United States Senate on Oct. 20, 1966. Porter served until Jan. 5, 1989, the date of his death.) • MIAMI COUNTY — The registration for the new Social Security Act program is running smoothly in most places of the county. Troy Postmaster Murphy is reporting a high rate of cooperation from the employers of the city. The information given by each employee will be entered into the system in order to organize and keep accurate records of contributions. Beginning Jan. 1, employees will contribute 1 percent from their weekly check into the fund and employers will match the 1 percent for that worker. 100 Years Ago: Nov. 20-Dec. 3, 1911 • CASSTOWN — Mayor Baker has resigned his position as the leader of the village after serving several successful terms in the position. He turned in his resignation at the last meeting of the village council. It was also learned that he has stepped down from his position on the school board. No reason was available as to why someone who was serving to the satisfaction of most his constituents would resign. He was a capable mayor who had the good of the village in mind. • TROY — The St. John’s Evangelical Church has called a new pastor and he has accepted the call. Rev. Henry J. Sonneborn of Erie, Pa., will begin his ministry with the

church on Dec. 1. An interesting note is that Rev. Sonneborn will have been married just a short time when he arrives in Troy and will bring his new bride with him. 120 Years Ago: Nov. 20-Dec. 3, 1891 • PIQUA — Most of the time citizens of Piqua are unified in most issues when the progress of the city is at hand, but the recent issue of standard time has caused a fissure in the community. ” … the disagreement is more apparent than real, but I am pleased to say that the friends of old Sol (the sun) are in a large majority, and are determined he and not the railroad companies shall continue to regulate time. The orb of the day continues to do business at the same old stand, and does not seem to know that our city council has deprived him of his functions. Such a want of respect for the duly constituted authorities is truly painful. The schools and most of the churches and twothirds of the people use the old time. ‘What benefit is to result from the change to standard time?’ remains unanswered.” • TROY — The Bretland & Stephey Bookstore had a successful opening last week. The partnership made an excellent display of their valuable and useful items for all to see. It is hoped that the store will have many years of success in our fair town. (Columnist’s Note: The Bretland & Stephey Bookstore lasted until 1920 and then became the Stephey Bookstore with various titles. The store survived as a book and stationary business into the Depression and then moved into other areas like home improvement items, carrying items such as wallpaper.) 146 Years Ago: Nov. 20-Dec. 3, 1865 • TROY — W.H.H. Dye has stated his building on the southside of the Public Square will be approximately 75 feet by 100 feet and two stories high. The upper portion of the sructure will be completed as a hall. Patrick D. Kennedy is archivist at the Troy-Miami County Public Library’s Local History Library, 100 W. Main St., Troy, 335-4082.

Squirmy toddler? There’s an app for that MIAMI (AP) — There’s a new routine these days whenever Amber Mullaney goes out to eat at a restaurant. While waiting to be seated, she asks her husband to get the phone ready to hand over to their 2-year-old daughter, Tatum. The phone with its ability to stream episodes of Dora the Explorer is a godsend, Mullaney says. Attempts at going out without whipping out the gadget have been disastrous, the mom says. Her curious, independent toddler gets into everything. Salt shakers are fiddled with, drinks are spilled. “She’ll color for a little bit or talk with us for a little bit, but it’s short-lived,” Mullaney says. “It’s miserable because all she wants to do is get out.” With the iPhone, however, Tatum sits quietly in the booth while her parents get to enjoy a meal. Mullaney, a marketing manager for a technology company, sometimes wishes they could do without the phone because she doesn’t want people to think they’re using technology to shut their child up, but she also doesn’t want to give up going out. “Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do,” she says. Mullaney is in good company. About 40 percent of 2- to 4-yearolds (and 10 percent of kids younger than that) have used a smartphone, tablet or video iPod, according to a new study by the nonprofit group Common Sense Media. Roughly 1 in 5 parents surveyed said they give their children these devices to

keep them occupied while running errands. There are thousands of apps targeted specifically to babies and toddlers interactive games that name body parts, for example, or sing nursery rhymes. It has become commonplace to see little ones flicking through photos on their parents’ phones during church or playing games on a tablet during a bus, train or plane ride. Parents of newborns rave about an app that plays white noise, a womb-like whoosh that lulls screaming babies to sleep. In fact, toymaker Fisher Price has just released a new hard case for the iPhone and iPod touch, framed by a colorful rattle, which allows babies to play while promising protection from “dribbles, drool and unwanted call-making.” Denise Thevenot acknowledges that some people would look askance at the idea of giving a child a $600 device to play with she had the same concerns initially. Then she discovered the sheer potential. “The iPad is movies, books and games all wrapped in one nice package,” says Thevenot, who works in the New Orleans tourism industry. The iPad, she says, keeps her 3-year-old son Frankie busy for hours. And, when needed, taking it away “is the greatest punishment. … He loves it that much.” Kaamna Bhojwani-Dhawan is an unapologetic proponent of the trend. “If you’re raising children, you’ve got to raise them with the times,” says Bhojwani-Dhawan,

who lives in Silicon Valley and founded the family travel website Momaboard.com. “If adults are going all digital, how can we expect children to be left behind?” Her 2 1/2-year-old, Karam, loves the GoodieWords app, which explains complex concepts like “shadow” and “electricity.” Other favorites are a memory matching game with farm animals and a drawing program. Bhojwani-Dhawan points out that Karam also has books, crayons and Legos. “It’s not replacing any of these things; it’s one more thing he’s getting exposed to,” she says. Experts say balance is key. “It’s really important that children have a variety of tools to learn from. Technology gadgets can be one of those tools, but they shouldn’t dominate, especially when we’re talking about very young children,” says Cheryl Rode, a clinical psychologist at the San Diego Center for Children, a nonprofit that provides mental health services. “If kids are isolating themselves or if it’s narrowing their range of interest in things everything else is boring those are big red flags,” Rode says. “You want them to have the ability to find lots of different ways to engage themselves.” For public relations consultant Stacey Stark, one red flag was seeing her 1 1/2-year-old cry if she wasn’t allowed to hold Stark’s iPhone. Little Amalia has dropped the phone, leaving it with a small crack on the back. She has also called a colleague of Stark’s and almost shot off an

email to a client. For all those reasons, Stark and her husband have started to cut back on how much they let Amalia and 4-year-old Cecelia use their phones and tablets. “It became an issue. We’re trying to make it go away,” she says. “It was easy for it to become a crutch.” Since scaling back, Stark says, she has seen her daughters engage in more imaginative play. Still, there is a positive side to the technology, Stark says. She thinks Montessori reading and spelling apps have accelerated her older daughter’s learning in those areas. “But,” she adds, “it’s such a delicate balance.” Wake Forest University psychology professor Deborah Best, who specializes in early childhood, agrees that children can benefit from programs that are age-appropriate and designed for learning. But “interacting with devices certainly does not replace oneon-one, face-to-face interaction between children and parents, or children and peers,” Best says. Those interactions, she says, help children learn such skills as reading emotions from facial expressions and taking turns in conversations. Joan McCoy, a bookstore owner and grandmother of five in Seattle, worries that this new generation will lack some of those social skills. When her son and daughterin-law get together with other parents and their kids, they give the children mobile phones to play with, or the children bring along toy computers. “There is

absolutely no conversation among them or with their parents. They are glued to the machine,” McCoy says. It’s a different story when the youngsters, ages 2 through 7, are out with their grandmother. McCoy brings along books, sometimes ones with only pictures, and asks the kids what they think is going on and what they would do in a similar situation. “They just talk and they’re excited and they’re engaged,” McCoy says. “They never ask for my cellphone, which is amazing because when we go with the parents, that’s the first thing they ask for.” McCoy acknowledges she has the luxury of being a grandparent and having the time to do these things. “It’s harder. It takes more discipline, it takes more time, and it requires interacting with the child as opposed to the child being entertained on their own,” she says. Eileen Wolter, a writer in New Jersey, readily admits to taking the easier path with her 3- and 6-year-old sons: “I’m buying my kids’ silence with an expensive toy.” When her in-laws get together for a family meal, six iPhones get passed to six children. The adults talk while the kids play, their contribution to the discussion typically limited to announcing they have cleared another level on a game. When that happens, Wolter starts to think, “Eek!” But then she says to herself, “Yeah, but we had a nice dinner.”

Hitting the slopes AP PHOTO/WOLF CREEK SKI AREA, SCOTT SMITH

This October photo shows guests at Wolf Creek Ski/Scott Smith Area in Mineral County, Colo. An autumn storm that dumped 3 feet of snow at Wolf Creek let the ski area open for weekend skiing Oct. 8 — its earliest opening ever.

Colorado resorts open for winter after great ski season last year DENVER (AP) — Last winter, La Nina brought so much snow to northern Colorado that Arapahoe Basin ski area stayed open until July 4. A snow gauge near Steamboat Springs had to be extended because it kept getting buried, with total accumulation over the season topping 200 inches. It was a skier’s bonanza. Colorado resorts recorded more than 12 million skier visits last winter for the first time since the 2007-2008 season, according to figures from Vail Resorts Inc. and the trade group Colorado Ski Country USA. In short, Colorado hosted roughly one in every five skier visits in the nation last winter. While there’s been enough snow for several Colorado resorts to open this fall, forecasters say skiers shouldn’t expect another record winter. “The odds are decent for at least a normal season, but people shouldn’t have expectations we’ll have a repeat,” said climatologist Klaus Wolter of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the University of Colorado. As the economy slowly recovers, there also appear to be fewer flash sales that resorts have used to hook last-minute vacationers during the recession. But there are still plenty of discounts, and resorts say they have more to offer after spending millions of dollars on faster lifts, new terrain park features

and better trail grooming. “We’re coming off a big season last year,” said Jennifer Rudolph, spokeswoman for the trade group Colorado Ski Country USA. “We’re going into this year with some momentum.” The group’s 22 member resorts have invested more than $50 million for this season, including a remodel of the Merry-Go-Round restaurant at Aspen Highlands and heated pavers in Steamboat’s base area so skiers don’t have to walk through as much snow and ice. That doesn’t include spending by Vail Resort Inc.’s Beaver Creek, Breckenridge, Keystone and Vail resorts, which together invested almost double what other Colorado resorts have, CEO Rob Katz said. New this year are a fine-dining restaurant at Vail and a high-speed lift to replace a slow two-seater at Beaver Creek. Here’s just a handful of things to look for this season: FREE SKIING: Crested Butte is sharing the wealth to celebrate its 50th birthday. Skiing is free on opening day, Nov. 23, and on your birthday if you’re an adult (and it falls during the season). Just be sure to bring a valid photo ID with your birthdate. Lift tickets for visitors 75 and older are always free at tiny Echo Mountain outside Denver, and they’re free at Wolf Creek past your 80th birthday. SKI PASS PLUS: Resorts big and small are selling passes

that offer access to more than one ski area, and sometimes pass holders can get other discounts. Telluride pass holders can get three days of skiing at Taos in New Mexico. This year, holders of Telluride adult, senior and college passes can get 20 percent off non-holiday group lessons, with some restrictions. For the first time in recent memory, Aspen is teaming with Steamboat and Winter Park on the Colorado Triple Play http://www.coloradotripleplay.co m which offers two days of skiing at Steamboat, two days at Winter Park, and two at Aspen Skiing Co.’s four mountains of Aspen, Aspen Highlands, Buttermilk and Snowmass for $299, for teens and adults. It’s designed to offer a more affordable, sample platter of mountains, considering Aspen’s peak single-day lift ticket price last season was $102. The nontransferable passes must be bought seven days before the first day of use and can’t be used Dec. 2731. Meanwhile, Vail Resorts is expanding what its EpicMix application can do. EpicMix uses chips embedded on nearly all season passes and lift tickets and scanners mounted on lifts so visitors can track their vertical feet and earn digital “pins” for their feats. A new feature lets on-mountain photographers scan a customer’s ticket so that when they snap a photo, the customer can access an image that

Visitors can purchase high-resolution versions suitable for printing. BEYOND THE SLOPES: To entice families that sometimes travel with three generations in tow, resorts have been paying more attention to ski schools and beginner areas in recent years. They’ve also been offering something for people who don’t want to hurtle full speed down a mountain. For instance, Copper Mountain regularly offers free snowshoe tours. New this year, Crested Butte and Purgatory at Durango Mountain Resort added zip-lines for those who’d rather get their thrills by gliding from a wire. Keystone has a brandnew ice skating rink in its base village.

MUSIC ON THE MOUNTAIN: Several resorts have free concerts toward the end of the season. Vail plans to host four free concerts for its annual Vail Snow Daze, with scheduled acts including Guster Dec. 8, Jakob Dylan Dec. 9. and The Polish Ambassador Dec. 11. Aspen is hosting a free concert by Cowboy Mouth on Nov. 26. LA NINA: La Nina tends to concentrate snow in the winter months, when most out-of-state skiers come to Colorado, Wolter said. Resorts in southwest Colorado aren’t expected to get as much snow, but that doesn’t mean a freak storm can’t happen. An autumn storm that dumped 3 feet of snow at Wolf Creek let the ski area open for weekend skiing Oct. 8 its earliest opening ever.

New coasters, immersive rides offered for 2012 ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — A host of new roller coasters, a 12acre town lifted straight out of the animated “Cars” movies and an elaborate “Transformers” 3-D simulator ride are among the new theme park attractions scheduled to open around the country in 2012. The list was introduced Tuesday by the International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions as the trade group opened its weeklong expo at the Orange County Convention Center. The event drew around 25,000 people to wander 500,000 square feet of exhibits highlighting what’s new in the industry from rides and ticketing systems to concessions and smartphone apps for park guests. Disney California Adventure is opening “Cars Land,” replicating the town of Radiator Springs from the movies, including a racecourse ride and two other new attractions. Universal Studios Hollywood is debuting the new “Transformers” ride, and Walt Disney World in Orlando will open the first phase of the new Fantasyland with several new attractions, including a dark ride based on the adventures of the

The event drew around 25,000 people highlighting what's new in the industry. Little Mermaid character. A Little Mermaid attraction previously opened at Disneyland in California. SeaWorld Orlando announced last week a new attraction for 2012 centered on sea turtles, including a first-of-its-kind 360degree domed theater showing a 3-D movie about the endangered creatures. Legoland, which opened in October in central

Florida, is renovating and reopening an existing water park at the site next year. New roller coasters opening in 2012 include the “Manta” at SeaWorld San Diego, which will simulate underwater flight; and “Superman”-themed launch coasters at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom in Vallejo, Calif., and Six Flags Magic Mountain in Valencia, Calif. Six Flags Great

America in Gurnee, Ill., introduces a new coaster called “XFlight.” Hersheypark in Hershey, Pa., introduces a 200-foot-tall coaster called “Skyrush,” which will reach speeds of 75 mph. Dollywood in Pigeon Forge, Tenn., will offer the 210-foot-tall “Wild Eagle.” Busch Gardens Williamsburg in Virginia unveils a half-mile-long coaster called “Verbolten.” “I think this is the first time in several years we’ve seen that number of blockbuster attractions open in one year,” trade group spokesman David Mandt said Tuesday. As expected, the theme park industry overall saw modest growth around 2 to 4 percent in 2011 as parts of the country have been slower to recover from recession. Analysts predict about the same for 2012. “If weather, if economy, if oil (prices) all stay about where they are now, we would anticipate another up season,” said industry consultant Dennis Speigel, president of International Theme Park Services Inc. “There’s a lot of new product coming on line for 2012, so the parks should be able to

capitalize on that.” Attractions continued to offer deep discounts to get guests in the gate in slow times of the year, and are still trying to “wean themselves off of it,” Speigel said. October was a good month as many parks capitalized on Halloween. “You look at how (parks) have all adjusted themselves and do better with what they’ve got,” said Steve Baker, an Orlandobased industry consultant and president of Baker Leisure Group. “I think it’s going to be a growth year, but I don’t know how big.” Trends on the horizon include the development of more sophisticated immersive, interactive rides, and better smart-phone apps that can direct guests inside the parks. “In the next 10 years, we’re going to see our level of participatory and interactive (attractions) ratchet up to new dimensions,” Speigel predicted. The global gathering in Orlando this week, the largest of the year for the $24 billion attractions industry, drew more than 1,100 exhibitors from 32 different nations.

Beginning of the end in ‘Breaking Dawn’ BY CHRISTY LEMIRE AP Movie Reviewer “Laughable” probably isn’t the word the makers of “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1” were aiming for, but there it is; laughter, at all the wrong places. The fourth movie in the freakishly popular girlvamp-wolf love triangle series is so self-serious, it’s hard not to cackle at it. The dialogue is, of course, ridiculous and the acting ranges from stiff to mopey. But moments that should be pulsating with tension are usually hilarious because the special effects are still just so distractingly cheesy. This latest installment has yet another new director, Bill Condon, a man capable of both panache (“Dreamgirls”) and serious artistry (“Gods and Monsters”), little of which you’ll see here and yet again, the werewolves look jarringly out of place with their surroundings. In a technological age in which Gollum from the “Lord of the Rings” movies blends in seamlessly with everyone and everything around him, how are such sloppy visual effects still possible? Adam Sandler played opposite himself more convincingly in “Jack and Jill.” But we digress, because other movies are more fun to discuss. “Breaking Dawn Part 1,” the first of two films adapted from the final book in Stephenie Meyer’s series (with part two coming next year), serves as a placeholder for the ultimate finale but is jam-packed with developments in its own right. (Melissa Rosenberg once again wrote the adapted screenplay.) So much happens that you wonder, how can there be another entire film after this? Alas,

Part one begins with Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) and her vampire beau, Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson), marrying in a lavish, romantic outdoor ceremony. Bella’s childhood best friend and the other man in the equation, werewolf Jacob Black (Taylor Lautner, barely recognizable with his shirt on), stops by as a gesture of goodwill. Guests mingle and dance and you have to wonder, do they realize that the groom and his entire family are the living dead? Do their eerie, porcelain complexions and glowing amber eyes betray them? The mind wanders. Anyway, finally finally! Bella and Edward can have sex, the thing she has wanted all along but he has been reluctant to do for fear that deflowering her will, you know, kill her. Yes, the “Twilight” movies (and the books that inspired them) may be filled with swoony vampires and hunky werewolves, but they are firmly

pro-abstinence and, later, firmly anti-abortion. This should be the happiest day of Bella’s life but she is, of course, nervous and miserable in general. Because she’s Bella; Stewart maintains her usual sullen look for most of the picture. After the ceremony, Edward whisks her away to a private island off the Brazilian coast to make sweet, sweet vampire love to her. It’s the moment we’ve all been waiting for and we get to see none of it. All that’s left the next morning is a broken bed frame, fluffs of down floating in the air and a baby growing inside the new bride. That’s how good Edward is. From here, “Breaking Dawn” devolves into a debate about what to do with this potentially dangerous hybrid spawn. Whether to keep it is never really in question, even though it’s developing at an alarming rate, eating Bella up from the inside and threatening her

very life. She waits for the baby to arrive and everyone else sits around discussing while Jacob’s werewolf pals hover outside the Cullen clan’s door, prepared to pounce. And talking which, again, is meant to be ominous but instead comes off as just plain silly. The score from Carter Burwell, the veteran composer and longtime Coen brothers collaborator, is surprisingly tinkly and intrusive and it further undermines the film’s tone. The Twi-hards flooding theaters this weekend probably won’t care, though. This is what they’ve been longing for, and it will be music to their ears. “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1,” a Summit Entertainment release, is rated PG-13 for disturbing images, violence, sexuality/partial nudity and some thematic elements. Running time: 117 minutes. One and a half stars out of four.

Five great movies about pregnancy BY CHRISTY LEMIRE AP Movie Reviewer

LOS ANGELES (AP) — This is not a spoiler: Bella has Edward’s baby in “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1,” a humanvampire hybrid that eats her up from the inside and threatens her very life. For most mortals, having a baby isn’t that melodramatic. But a lot of movies have been made about this universally relatable subject, most of which are crammed with cliches about eating pickles and ice cream in the middle of the night and making a mad dash to the hospital for some wacky delivery-room histrionics.

husband (John Cassavetes) and soon gets pregnant. But the father isn’t exactly who she expected it would be. That Farrow is so thin, with such prominent eyes, is startling in itself. Ruth Gordon won her only Academy Award for her deeply creepy supporting performance as the couple’s nosy neighbor. She’s both hilarious and haunting. • “Away We Go” (2009): Maybe it was the hormones. I was four months’ pregnant with my son when I saw this, and it repeatedly reduced me to a blubbering mess. But the story of a couple in their 30s on the brink of having their first child who travel North America searching for the best place to settle down is an honest, humorous and ultimately moving look at the prospect of a family growing from two members to three. John Krasinski and Maya Rudolph are lovely together, and while both comedians enjoy plenty of funny scenes, they also reveal an unexpected capacity for drama with effortless grace. This was also a nice change of pace for “American Beauty” director Sam Mendes; it’s inti-

mate and unadorned. • “Knocked Up” (2007): I went kind of nuts for this movie, even though it came out more than two years before I’d have my own child, giving it four stars out of four. The Judd Apatow formula still seemed novel at this point, with its mixture of equal parts raunch and sentimentality. Yes, it’s mainly about the totally mismatched Seth Rogen and Katherine Heigl as they struggle with an unplanned pregnancy after a drunken one-night stand. But it’s the rapidfire buddy banter between Rogen and his pals (played by future stars Jonah Hill and Jason Segel, among others), which is chock full of hilarious pop culture references, that gives the film its infectious energy. • “Waitress” (2007): Even without its heartbreaking back story, this charming little indie would have been irresistible. Adrienne Shelly, who wrote, directed and costarred, was killed in her Manhattan apartment just before the film’s Sundance premiere; knowing her fate makes watching the movie feel even more bittersweet. Keri Russell is radiant in this

Common plays freed slave on AMC of the transcontinental railroad. Common plays mixedraced former slave Elam Ferguson, who works on the rail system. Portraying a slave, he says, is a big deal, particularly because his character defies the stereotypes often seen in films and television.

“A lot of times we’ve seen slaves obviously going through so much pain and trouble, they were oppressed and downtrodden, so it was more of a lower position. (My character) has been through a lot of things, but is holding his head up high and his shoulders are up strong,” says Common.

rare lead role as Jenna, a small-town Southern waitress famous for making the best pies around, with inventive ingredients and names inspired by whatever is going on in her life. When she gets pregnant after a rare drunken romp with her no-good husband, she finds herself resentful of this thing that has taken up residence in her body. Russell’s scenes with Nathan Fillion as her OB/GYN are like something out of a ’40s screwball comedy, but the ending will leave you in tears. • “Juno” (2007): This was a good year for movies about having babies. “Juno” made as much of a star out of Ellen Page as it did screenwriter Diablo Cody, who created not just a character but an entirely original and specific way of speaking. (Cody won an original-screenplay Oscar in the process.) Juno MacGuff is the kind of teenager we all wish we could have been: quickwitted, frighteningly intelligent beyond her years and comfortable enough in her own skin to resist those incessant highschool pressures to conform, even as her body expands with an unplanned pregnancy. 2236955

SUNDAY CROSSWORD

NOT FUNNY

Compelling Cleveland fan seeks LeBron James’ soul BY ROB MERRILL Associated Press “The Whore of Akron: One Man’s Search for the Soul of LeBron James” (HarperCollins), by Scott Raab: Cleveland native and Esquire contributor Scott Raab doesn’t try to hide his bias in this often laugh-outloud diatribe against basketball star LeBron James. “LeBron James is a fraud. No guts, no heart, no soul,” writes Raab after James plays poorly and seems not to care when the Cleveland Cavaliers lose in the 2009 NBA playoffs to Boston. Months later, Raab watches in disgust as James tells the world on ESPN that he’s teaming up with Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh on the Miami Heat. Raab’s reaction cannot even be printed in this review. At this point, the book easily could have spiraled into something unseemly — one fan’s bitter invective against a young man who plays a game for hundreds of millions of dollars. But Raab manages to engage readers by weaving in his personal story even as he travels to Miami to chronicle James’ every move in his first season with the Heat. We’re treated to flashbacks of Raab’s alcoholic and drug-addicted past, all told with unflinching honesty and a sense of humor. A lifelong yo-yo when it comes to

The irony? His doctor recommends the South Beach Diet. Raab has plenty of common-sense things to say about fandom. It’s his passion that makes the book so readable. It’s not a page turner by any means, but it’s compelling all the same. Even NBA fans who know how the Heat’s first season of the LeBron James era ended will find something worth reading. By the end, James even helps Raab reach an epiphany, no mean feat for someone without a soul.

BOOK REVIEW

Rick Gavin’s Mississippi Delta is hilarious place By MARY FOSTER Associated Press

crime novel but much closer to a comedic romp, takes readers through the “Ranchero” Mississippi Delta, intro(Minotaur Books), by ducing them to a variety Rick Gavin: The Ruston, of characters, including La., building industry good guys, bad guys and may be taking a bit of a wannabe bad guys. hit. If everything Rick Gavin’s hero, Nick Reid, Gavin writes is as good as a former cop turned repo his first book, his days of man, is on the trail of a framing houses and hang- big-screen TV. He is quickly beaten and tied up. His ing plasterboard soon car, a beautifully restored, could be over. “Ranchero,” billed as a calypso coral-colored 1969

Ranchero, is stolen. Reid promised his landlady, who owns the half-car, half-truck, that he would take good care of it. That means he won’t stop until he has recovered the vehicle. The search for the Ranchero turns into a very colorful trip in an area noted for its music and poverty. It is also noted for its agriculture, with thousands of acres of

cotton and soybeans providing not only crops but also most of the beauty in the flatland. Gavin’s descriptions are wonderful, as when he contrasts the poverty-stricken towns to the lush farmland. “We rolled in an instant out of food stamps and into agribusiness. There might have been chicken fingers and government cheese for the two-legged fauna, but the flora would

get no end of what it needed to survive.” Gavin turns out phrase after phrase of ear-pleasing insight into the Delta and those who live there, and dialogue that sounds just right. This includes Reid’s 350-pound best friend, Desmond, to a sweet landlady determined to “insist” on giving away a wide variety of things from the Ranchero to her late hus-

band’s clothes to everyone she comes across, to a family of crooks named Dubois, a name they couldn’t be bothered to “Frenchify.” (Going by Dew-boys “front-loaded and hick specific” was good enough for them.) And when Gavin waxes funny, he really is funny, with enough comedic situations to keep everyone laughing as Reid tries to recover the Ranchero.

interior of the cavity, as well as on the outside of the skin all over the bird. Place the 12 whole sage leaves under the skin of the turkey in various spots. Place the turkey in the roasting pan on the rack, breast side up. Cover with foil and roast for 1 hour. Remove the foil and roast for another 1 to 1 1/2 hours, or until the breast meat reaches 160 F and the thickest part of the thigh reaches 170 F. Remove the rack and turkey from the roasting pan and cover with foil and a few kitchen towels to keep warm. Remove and discard the onion and carrot pieces from the pan. Place the pan over medium-high heat on the stovetop (it may rest over more than one burner, if so, turn on both) and add the wine. Scraping the bottom of the pan to loosen any browned bits, bring the juices to a simmer. In a small bowl, whisk together the broth and flour. While stirring continuously, pour the broth mixture into the pan. Bring to a boil and stir for 3 minutes. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. Strain the gravy, if desired. Serve alongside the turkey.

Spread over 2 large baking sheets and roast for 30 to 40 minutes, or until tender and browned. In a blender, combine the remaining 1/2 cup of olive oil, the lemon juice and zest, lime juice and zest, honey and vinegar. Puree until smooth.

SWEET POTATO BOURBON MASH If sweet potatoes just aren’t the same without marshmallows for you, top with mini-marshmallows and pop under the broiler for 1 to 2 minutes just before serving. Start to finish: 2 hours Servings: 8 8 large garnet sweet potatoes 1 pint heavy cream 1/2 to 3/4 cup Maker’s Mark bourbon 1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar

1/2 cup molasses 1 teaspoon salt, or more to taste 3 dashes hot sauce, or more to taste 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg Heat the oven to 350 F. Prick each sweet potato with a fork, then roast for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, or until tender. Remove from the oven and set aside until cool to the touch. Peel the sweet potatoes, then cut each into quarters. Place the potatoes in a large stockpot or Dutch oven. Add the cream, bourbon, brown sugar, molasses and salt. Use a fork or masher to mash everything together. If the mixture is too dry, add a bit of water. Heat over medium-low for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are so soft they resemble a puree. This second cooking makes the potatoes foolproof since any hard (undercooked) pieces of sweet potato will be well cooked before serving. Stir in the hot sauce and nutmeg, then adjust salt as needed. Also can be prepared a day ahead.

AAA: Ohio holiday travel to rise 4.4% COLUMBUS — (AP) A new forecast says 4.4 percent more Ohioans will take Thanksgiving trips this year because people who stayed home the last three years will hit the road. Auto club AAA said Thursday that the economy is still a big concern

and consumer confidence remains low. But the group’s survey found most people don’t plan to let the economy affect their Thanksgiving travel this year. According to AAA, trips at least 50 miles from home will be taken this week by more than

1.65 million Ohioans. That’s up from the 1.58 million people in Ohio who went away last Thanksgiving. The auto club says Ohio Thanksgiving travel has been rebounding after dropping nearly 25 percent when the recession hit in 2008.

MORTGAGE WATCH

Rates hover above record low again WASHINGTON (AP) — The average rate on the 30-year mortgage hovered above the record low for a third straight week. But cheap mortgage rates have done little to boost home sales or refinancing. Freddie Mac said Thursday that the rate on the 30-year loan ticked up to 4 percent from 3.99 percent. Six weeks ago, it dropped to a record low of 3.94 percent, according to the National Bureau of Economic Research. The average rate on the 15-year fixed mortgage rose to 3.31 percent from 3.30 percent. Six weeks ago, it hit a record low of 3.26 percent. Rates have been below 5 percent for all but two weeks this year. Yet this year could be the worst for home sales in 14 years. Mortgage applications fell 10 percent this week from the previous week, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association.

BY MARY CAROL GARRITY Scripps Howard News Service Are you ready to create some lovely holiday displays this year? Before you pull out the tree ornaments, the sparkly reindeer figurines or the spools of holiday ribbon, first grab the greens. Great greens are the key to success for every holiday display, whether simple or over the top. Today’s faux greens are so lifelike you almost have to touch them to tell they’re not real. And, even better, as the quality of the greenery has gone up through the years, the price has dropped. Here are some tips for using greenery as a base for killer holiday displays. Even though you love the holiday season, with all its magic and charm, have you ever found yourself groaning

HOUSE HUNTING

Five housing bubble lessons for buyers Don’t underestimate impact of deferred maintenace, refinancing Many mistakes were made by homebuyers and sellers during the great housing bubble that burst in 2007. Today’s buyers and homeowners can learn from these past mistakes. Home prices went up for so long that most people believed that this time things were different. Previously, when prices rose for several years in a row, there was usually a correction in the market. In 2005 and 2006 when prices rose precipitously and buyers clambered to buy, it was thought that prices would never come down. Prices don’t just go up; they go up and down. This became abundantly apparent when the bubble burst and home prices subsequently dropped 30 percent between 2007 and 2011. To make matters worse, too many buyers bought with too little cash down. They were banking on home-price appreciation to bail them out. When depreciation replaced appreciation, lenders ended up taking back properties by the millions through foreclosures. HOUSE HUNTING TIP: Buying your home is not like buying an investment property where it may be advantageous to leverage as much as possible. Your home should also not be viewed as a piggy bank against which you can borrow for vacations, new cars and college tuition. That strategy got a lot of homeowners into trouble if they refinanced during the bubble years and then ended up being unable to sell their homes for the amount they owed the lender.

Home loans from a name you already know and trust

Dian Hymer For the Miami Valley Sunday News Many homeowners refinanced to make renovations and improvements to their homes figuring if they did a good job, they would recoup the amount they spent and then some. During the recent price decline, homeowners often received little if any increase in value due to the improvements they made to the property if they bought after 2000. Home prices in many areas dropped too precipitously. You need to keep your home well maintained if you expect it to sell well when you decide to move on. However, don’t spend a lot on improvements if you don’t intend to stay in the home and enjoy them. It isn’t only during periods of price declines that improvements don’t pay back well. In general, in most parts of the country, they don’t pay back the amount invested, according to Realtor magazine and the National Association of Realtors’ collaborative annual surveys. Most homeowners aren’t aware of this. This doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t remodel your home. For example, if you want a lifestyle that includes a great space for casual living and entertaining and you can afford to, go ahead and create it. Your enjoyment of the improved space should create value for you, even if you don’t recoup the total amount invested in the project. However, don’t over improve for the neighborhood. During the bubble years, many

You won’t believe how lifelike this stuff looks! Simply swag the garland up and around your banister, securing it with florist wire or pretty holiday ribbon. I like the garland on my banister to look random and loose and haphazard, tucked up at irregular intervals, which makes it even easier to put up. One of my favorite holiday looks is to loosely twist some pine garland through the arms of the chandeliers in my study, dining room and kitchen. It’s simple to do but looks so elaborate that people will think you decorated for hours. Loop the garland around the chain of the chandelier, then tread it in and out a few of the light fixture’s arms. I like to leave a bit of garland hanging down from the fixture, too. Stop there or embellish the light fixture with some holiday ribbon or ornaments. You can dangle ornaments or little hanging votive cups from the chandelier’s arms using fishing wire if you want an extraspecial display. Buy a pre-made swag or, if you’re feeling crafty, make your own. Then hang it on an interior or exterior door. It’s just a little touch of Christmas, but it adds lots of cheer. You could also hang a swag over a mirror or a piece of artwork using a door hook meant to hold wreaths. I like to use statement-piece vases in my year-round decorating, changing them out for each season. Statuesque glass vases, for example, are long on drama but take just seconds to decorate. Insert some fallen branches and some greenery picks that feature pinecones and faux frost.

Frozen Chocolate Cookie Cake

INGREDIENTS: Morsels Ganache and Filling: Cake: 1/2 Gallon Cookies and Cream Ice Cream, 1 Box Devil's Food Cake Mix 1-1/2 Cups Softened Water 1 Cup Heavy Cream 1/2 Cup Vegetable Oil 3 Eggs 1 12-Ounce Bag Semisweet Chocolate DIRECTIONS: Preheat oven to 350oF.

Architect restores a Greek Revival treasure If he’s not designing buildings or playing the accordion, Keith Cochran is lavishing attention on restoring a Greek Revival house in Lawrenceville, Pa. The amiable architect loves this classical style’s clean lines, open floor plan and spacious rooms, and the $40,000 price made it irresistible. Cochran and his wife, artist Mary Mazziotti, are living in an apartment while the work is going on at the home, which is within 12 blocks of where they both work. The couple’s previous residence, a Victorian set on a hill, included a three-story carriage house that aided them in accumulating antiques, books and chairs. Before moving, they restored four Victorian-era homes in Lawrenceville. Their current project is the fifth historic treasure they have undertaken and it’s also the largest. This time, they plan an uncluttered life. “What we envision is something so far beyond our budget — — think Monticello!” Mazziotti said, hooting with laughter while Country Home

sitting on the front porch. Unlike Thomas Jefferson, the big-spending builder of Monticello, this duo is keeping an eye on costs and recently chose kitchen cabinets from Ikea. That kind of shopping was unavailable to Dr. Peter Mowry, a Pittsburgh physician who built the home between 1830 and 1832 for his wife, Eliza Addison Mowry. Back then, the 100-acre property fronted on the Allegheny River. “When Mrs. Mowry looked north toward the Allegheny River, her view was unobstructed,” Cochran said. “Back then, it was all open farmland.” The house was built before electricity, so workmen ran gas lines through the floors to access the ceiling and install gas lamps. Dr. Mowry died a year after the home was finished, but his widow lived there until her death in 1871. In 1872, Thomas Carnegie, along with business partners of his better-known brother, Andrew, bought the house and began subdividing the 100-acre parcel into streets and building lots. “That was the beginning of the industrialization of the valley,” said Cochran, who has been read-

ing “The Inside History of the Carnegie Steel Company” by James Bridge. After a series of other owners, Cochran bought the three-story house in 2004. Today, it sits on a quarter of an acre and behind a 5foot-high iron fence. The dressed sandstone foundation is stippled and edged with borders; the upper stories are solid red brick. Above the large porch is decorative dentil molding and an elaborate, classic Doric frieze with triglyphs, mutules and flowers. Cochran plans to order custommade wooden Doric columns to match that frieze. Those will replace the yellow brick pillars supporting the porch. The yellow brick exterior will be replaced with sandstone. A square, wooden railing will be installed, too. Beyond the transom window over the front door is a grand 9foot-wide foyer featuring an elaborately carved wooden archway with intricate oak leaves. Dan McClelland, a plasterer, restored the plaster moldings of roping and medallions in the hallway. He also replicated the original crown molding by creating a metal screed, a shadow of the plaster form. The house has large rooms, most with fireplaces: the living room and dining room both measure 17 by 20 feet. The kitchen is 17 by 15 feet. The main floor also has a pantry, a television room that will be heated by a wood pellet stove. Thermostatic controls for radiators have been installed to control steam heat. In the first-floor main rooms, Cochran uncovered faux-grained woodwork. Popular in Greek Revival homes, the detailing was often done with a comb or feather. The second floor has a future library — a 9-by-12-foot room with spinach-green walls that may be the original color. It also

The couple created a new 12-by-7-foot bathroom and a laundry by dividing a fourth bedroom. A spiral stairway leads to the third floor. Here, Cochran found construction methods that delighted him. The carpenters did not use any nails; instead, the ceiling is all pegged construction. Cornices are secured with mortis and tenon and then pegged. He

plans to leave the ceiling exposed. Also on the third floor, the hand-planed pine flooring is tongue-and-groove. A gallery railing made of hand-pegged cherry rings the stair opening. This 44by-27-foot level will have a guest bedroom and bath, as well as Cochran’s study. The couple may build a raised terrace off the first floor and install a patio. Mazziotti plans to plant a garden with raised beds; four parking spaces will be installed at the back of the property.

“If it’s not dirty, don’t clean it,” says Queen of Clean Linda Cobb. That’s the most important thing to keep in mind when it’s time to spruce up before someone stops by. Here is Linda’s ultimate guide to a quick cleanup: 1. Take a laundry basket and go from room to room picking up things that don’t belong. Stash the basket in a closet or somewhere guests won’t look. 2. Next, tidy up the bathroom that guests will use. Wipe it up quickly, and make it look nice. 3. Next, run the vacuum through the main rooms company will be in and fluff the pillows. 4.

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.
