Investigation continues in plane crash Staff Reports

Packers stay unbeaten

WEST MILTON

The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating a fatal plane crash that happened outside of West Milton Wednesday night. Emergency crews responded to a remote area near the intersection of Rangeline Road and Emerick Road around 8:45 p.m. after Miami County 9-1-1 received a call from a resident who heard a low-flying aircraft followed by a loud boom. According to officials, crews found OCM PHOTO/MIKE ULLERY the plane several hundred yards from Rescue crews from West Milton and nearby departments the road in a cornfield. “The plane is destroyed,” said begin their investigation into the crash of a single-engine airDenny Frantz, West Milton Fire Chief. craft that went down southwest of West Milton, Wednesday.

“It looked like it did a nosedive into the ground.” One man was found deceased in the wreckage. According to officials, the coroner will have to examine the body before any proper identification can be made. It is unclear what caused the plane to go down. There is speculation that the aircraft may have been heading to nearby Phillipsburg Air Park. The Federal Aviation Administration has also been notified — WDTN contributed to this report

Aaron Rodgers took every hit the Detroit Lions could dish out. He just kept throwing — and winning. Rodgers threw two touchdown passes and the Green Bay Packers built a big lead in the third quarter thanks in part to Ndamukong Suh’s ejection during a 27-15 victory in Detroit on Thursday. Detroit’s best chance to beat the Packers was to knock Rodgers out of the game, just as it did last year in a victory that started a nine-game winning streak.

reminds shoppers that independent small businesses are open, competitive and ready for customers.” Manovich said the “mom and pop” stores of Troy have a lot to offer customers that big box stores may not. She said they typically offer unique merchandise, locally-produced items and personalized customer service. She said for her, visiting the small businesses makes shopping much less a chore, and more a pleasant experience. “What I enjoy most about shopping in downtown Troy is interacting with the business owner. They are so engaging and knowledgeable about their products, and willing to take special steps to make sure you are happy with your purchase,” Manovich said. “They are very invested in what they do, and their enthusiasm and passion are contagious.” She said downtown shopping offers an expanded experience. Visitors to downtown Troy can enjoy dinner at a restaurant, shopping at a store, dessert or coffee at a café, a visit to a museum, and possibly errands, such as stopping at the post office, county or city office and just a stroll around the square, according to Manovich.

Troy City Council President Marty Baker didn’t waste any time making her committee assignments for 2012-2013. Immediately after the Nov. 8 election, she polled the two new and f i v e incumbent council representatives a b o u t their committee preferences, and BAKER less than a week later, released committee assignments. Council welcomes two newcomers, Robin Oda and Lynne Snee, to two-year terms on the previously allmale council. They join five-term incumbent Alan Clark as the new at-large representatives, replacing Jarrod Harrah and Frank Hutchinson. Hutchinson has battled health issues and decided not to run while Harrah inadvertently failed to file his party nominating petitions by the deadline. Each council member serves on two committees and chairs one committee. Snee will serve on the Law and Ordinance and Personnel committees and will chair the Safety and Health Committee, while Oda will serve on the Buildings, Streets and Sidewalks and Safety and Health committees and chair the Recreation and Parks Committee. Baker, a former four-term council member who is in her second term as council president, said she asked each of the seven council members for their committee preferences. Council has seven standing committees. “I have them list their priorities and try to work

Quake registers a 3.7 magnitude A small earthquake hit central Oklahoma just in time for Thanksgiving dinner. The U.S. Geological Survey recorded a 3.7 magnitude quake about 3:11 p.m. Thursday near Prague, Okla. The epicenter of the quake was 17 miles northeast of Shawnee and 44 miles east of Oklahoma City. There weren’t any immediate reports of damage or injuries, said Jessica Elder, a 911 dispatcher in surrounding Lincoln County.

Visitors, new businesses and potential residents are not drawn by what they can find any place,” Manovich said. “People are more likely to invest and settle in communities that preserve their oneof-a-kind businesses and distinctive character. It is important that our community thinks local first and makes it a priority to patronize downtown businesses whenever possible. “Many downtowns across Ohio and the nation are deteriorating and disappearing.

Business • CONTINUED FROM A1 “It is an ‘experience’ rather than a task. All of these activities can be done without ever getting back into your car and is part of the ambiance of downtown,” Manovich said. “Walking, rather than driving to everything, connects people to each other and to a place. It also improves health and well-being.” Manovich said supporting local businesses also provides more jobs to local residents. “When you buy local, you help yourself. In general, shoppers do not recognize this and base their shopping decisions on other factors,” Manovich said. She cited many studies that have shown that when people buy from an independent, locally owned significantly business,

more of their money is used to make purchases from other local businesses — ultimately strengthening the local economy. For example, according to Manovich, when you spend $100 at an independent business, $68 returns to the local economy versus $43 when spent with a national chain. In the Dayton region, if each family spent just $10 a month with a locallyowned, independent business instead of a national chain, more than $27,804,955 would be directly returned to the community, based on a Civic Economics Andersonville Study of Retail Economics. “That means better schools, better roads, more support for police, fire and rescue departments and stronger local economies,” she said.

Giffords serves Thanksgiving meal at hometown base TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) — U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords helped serve a Thanksgiving meal to service members and retirees at a military base in her hometown. Giffords arrived in the dining hall at DavisMonthan Air Force Base in Tucson at midday Thursday wearing a ball cap and an apron with her nickname of “Gabby” sewn on the front. She was accompanied by her retired astronaut husband, Mark Kelly, who also donned an apron. Giffords used only her left hand as she served, a sign that physical damage remains from the injuries she suffered when she was shot in January. Kelly supported her from her left side as she worked the turkey station on the serving line. He served ham. The event marked the first time Giffords has met with her constituents since the shooting. After serving dinner, she mingled with service members, exchanging pleasantries and mostly oneword greetings and responses. She did tell Airman 1st Class Millie Gray, of Kansas City, Mo., “Happy Thanksgiving, thank you for your service.” Gray said she had intended to only grab a plate and head back to her dorm to eat, until she heard that Giffords was going to be there. “She’s such an inspiration and her story is so inspirational, it really made me proud. I felt very proud and very humble,” Gray said. “It just feels really good to see that she is out here supporting the troops, and just con-

The food is awesome,” Gray said. “She and her husband were very, just delightful and asked a lot of questions. It was just very warmhearted, and I told her she was an inspiration and she

was very thankful for that.” Giffords and Kelly left after less than an hour. Giffords has been undergoing intensive rehabilitation at TIRR Memorial Hermann in Houston as she recovers from a gunshot wound to the head. She was among 19 people shot Jan. 8 as she met with constituents outside a Tucson supermarket.

Thanksgiving Day parades from New York to Philadelphia to Detroit and friends enjoyed feasts with strangers at Occupy protest gatherings, reminding each other there is much to be grateful for despite the country’s hard economic times. Delighted crowds gathered Thursday for Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade on the streets of Manhattan under brilliant sunshine. Millions more viewed the live broadcast of the annual holiday production on television from the comfort of their homes. “Here comes Snoopy!” said an excited Regan Lynch, 5, nudging her

grandfather, Nick Pagnozzi. Pagnozzi, 59, of Saddle River, N.J., drove into the city at 6 a.m. to get a seat on the bleachers along Central Park West. He said Regan wanted to make sure he took pictures of every balloon. With winds gusting to 22 miles per hour and temperatures in the mid-30s, parade-goers in Detroit bundled up. Before the celebration, 21,000 runners followed the course for the Turkey Trot races. A cluster of Ford Model T cars in the parade testified to the city’s status as America’s battered but rebounding auto capital.

EDITORIAL

Keeping music alive Sweet melodies and breathtaking harmonies floated around the stage last weekend as I participated in an honor band program. For one weekend, dedicated musicians gathered around the stage, where we learned and performed a collection of masterpieces. My fingers were cramped from playing my flute all day. My eyes hurt from scrutinizing the sheets of music, refusing to fall short of perfection. This simple weekend reminded me of a young girl, who brought music alive, and to this day, remains my inspiration. This young girl was a victim of a mental illness, though I do not know what she suffered from. She visited our choir almost every day for music therapy. We were supposed to be her inspiration; little Chelsea Hemmelgarn did she know, she would become Troy Daily News Columnist mine. At the end of every song we sang, she always clapped with the brightest smile on her face. She did not talk to anyone, nor could she focus for an extended amount of time. However, as soon as the teacher began to play the piano or acoustic guitar, a miracle would occur. She would listen attentively to the music and begin to sing. You could watch her facial expressions and become captivated by the way she sang with all her heart. It did not matter that her voice was off key, her song was beautiful, because it was her only way of communicating. All her thoughts, everything she desperately wanted to say, she could express through song. I have yet to discover something more powerful and influential as music. With the most simplistic rhythm, every heart is provoked to react as the composer commands. Rearranging words or musical notes to create a certain mood or tone, manipulates the audience’s perceptions and emotions. Love, defeat and victory, the same messages are conveyed through music, century after century, yet the message never becomes jaded. Music is applicable to everyone; we all love, we all fall, and we all have our moments in the spotlight when we believe we are invincible. Versatility can be appealing. There are innumerable types of instruments, each with their own, unique tone. Bold as a trumpet, or dainty like a flute, there’s an instrument for every personality. Songs are written in every language; the song’s message can still be obtained through the mood of the piece. Music goes beyond pleasure; it helps students with learning. Since kindergarten, we are taught the alphabet through singing the letters. In addition, it’s always easier to memorize a random song streaming through the radio, than to memorize chemistry. My honor band experience ended with a strong performance. Programs such as this are being wounded from the frustrating economy; music is fighting to stay alive, especially in schools. I believe it’s important that students have the opportunity to be affiliated with music. I’ve witnessed how music changes lives, and in the end, the extra effort to end the silence, is worth it.

Ticket was erroneously written To the editor: My son, a Lance Corporal in the U.S. Marine Corps, was ticketed on Nov. 12, 2011, while home to celebrate Thanksgiving with his family. The blue ticket that he failed to “move over for emergency vehicles” and he received a white ticket marked with speed 70 mph. He was traveling southbound on I-75 between Piqua and Troy. (A place where running 75 mph gets you passed!) I would say that the officer issuing the citation noticed that my son’s car had out of state plates (NC not OH) and a USMC dress blue cover in the back window and realized the driver would not be returning to contest the citation: but on the ticket the officer listed my son’s plates a being from Ohio. My son returned to Camp Lejeune that day and I

assured him I would take care of the ticket. Upon examination of the ticket I found these errors and I realized that my son should contest the citation. I called the Miami County/Troy Municipal Court where I was treated very rudely and told I would need to speak with Magistrate Zuhl. So the next morning I called the magistrate’s office and while his secretary was not rude she told me that she had spoken to Magistrate Zuhl, who said there was nothing that could be done. If the ticket was to be contested my son had to put in an appearance to do so — rather an impossibility given my son is on active duty with the USMC, not to mention a financial burden of a greater cost than the ticket. I understand that “rules are rules,” I understood it before the court system reiterated it five or six times; but I also realize that rules are

amended and/or ignored daily for those with the “right” name or those in the right “position.” Obviously a Lance Corporal in the USMC has neither the right name or the right position. In conclusion, my son, the Marine, who lives by the standards of Honor, Courage and Commitment, must pay a ticket that was erroneously issued, contains incorrect information, and was a subjective decision all because he is unable to appear in court. Where is the compassion and understanding for those who are willing to put their lives on the line for this country? Obviously, there is no compassion or understanding in the offices of the Municipal Court of Miami County/Troy. This ticket will be paid although in doing so a letter of protest will be sent along, which most likely will not be read, much less responded to. — Ruth N. Miller, DeGraff

DOONESBURY

Black Friday spent with big sister at the mall I am one of about 42.5 million people who hit the road (avoiding the skies) for Thanksgiving this year. For this year’s Thanksgiving holiday, I was one of “those people” who traveled 500 miles on the busiest travel days to “Occupy D.C.” Traveling turnpikes and interstates, weaving our way to our nation’s capital, Mr. Obvious and I battled the masses to bypass Manassas, to get to my oldest sister Jennifer’s home inside the beltway. This is Mr. Obvious’ first tour of the D.C. area. Do you know how long it took me to explain that “The Mall” is not a bunch of stores? Well, for a college educated man, a long, long, time. That’s where we are today, at the Mall on Black Friday. Don’t get me started on our conversation regarding Gettysburg. Let’s just say I didn’t speak to him until we reached the Maryland state line. Speaking of the Maryland highway, did you know they have corporate sponsorship signs? Wow. I would love to see on I-75 near Troy a sign that states:

Melanie Yingst Troy Daily News Columnist

“This Highway portion was brought to you by Slim Jim. Snap into it!” How cool would that be? Anyways, back to my navigation observations. I loved passing the large dairy farms along the Pennsylvania turnpike. I normally try to avoid industry plugs, but I can’t help myself this time. Drink milk. It does Pennsylvania good. Remember, there is no holiday for a dairy farmer, so as you spread your butter and pour a glass a milk, give thanks to those who rise every day at 3 a.m. to milk the cows. Amen. We stopped in New Staton on Tuesday, booking the last avail-

able room, which was a little gamey for this spoiled journalist. The closer you get to D.C., the more acronyms you absorb. I found myself watching C-SPAN and laughed watching as protesters “Occupy” a U.S. Chamber of Commerce “Future of Healthcare Industry” event, interrupting the CEO of Blue Cross and Blue Shield. Not only were we coming to town for Thanksgiving with my sister and her husband and “The Dog: Libby,” but also to celebrate my sister’s 40th birthday — conveniently today, on Black Friday. She’s a teeny, tiny genius, working on her Ph.D. (told ya, lots of acronyms here) in nursing. So of course, anytime I have some medical question, I call her. She basically is the complete opposite of me. Super in shape. Health-conscience. Loves animals. Well, you know how I feel about animals. Cats belong in barns. The only shape I’ll ever be is round and the only conscience I have is evil. No idea how we are related. Growing up, we fought off and on, and despite our age difference, the guilt trip would break

her down. I clearly remember being able to wrestle her to the point where she couldn’t move and thump her on the forehead. Wow I was mean. But that’s what little sisters do, terrorize their (much) oldest sister. But as we got older, we got closer. Well, basically because she moved far away. So between phone calls and Facebook posts, I invaded their townhome to once again pester my oldest sister. But instead of fighting this visit, we stayed up late, watching Jimmy Fallon videos on Youtube and trading family gossip, filling her in on the ins and outs of Miami County life here in the beltway. So happiest of happy birthdays to my Big Sista Jennifer. Thanks for taking us to “The Mall” on your 40th birthday on Black Friday. Also, thanks for letting me crash in D.C. learning how to be all P.C. and laughing well in the A.M. “Twin” Melanie Yingst appears on Fridays in the Troy Daily News. If the new 30 is 40, is turning 30 the new 20? Let us hope not.

Plane with 3 men, 3 children crashes PHOENIX (AP) — A small airplane slammed into a sheer cliff in the mile-high mountains east of Phoenix and exploded, killing the six people onboard, including the pilot and his three young children who were to spend the Thanksgiving weekend with him, authorities said. The body of one child was recovered and dozens of sheriff’s search and rescue personnel worked Thursday to recover the remains of the other victims, said Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu. A search and rescue team was in the rugged Superstition Mountains searching for three missing teenagers Wednesday evening and saw the explosion as the twin-engine plane hit the cliff, Babeu said. The searchers found the teens, then went up the mountain to try to reach the crash site. Ten deputies who spent the night on the mountain were relieved by 10 more early Thursday. They and dozens of volunteers began searching the crash site at first light. Video from news helicopters Thursday morning showed the wreckage strewn at the bottom of a blackened cliff. The dead included pilot Shawn Perry, 39, his two sons and his daughter, Babeu said. Morgan Perry, 9, Logan Perry, 8, and Luke Perry, 6, lived with their mother in the community of Gold Canyon in Pinal County. Their father lived in

Safford in southeastern Arizona and owned a small aviation business there. He had flown to the Phoenix suburb of Mesa with another pilot who coowned the company and a company mechanic to pick the children for up Thanksgiving. The plane was headed back to Safford when it crashed. The other pilot was identified as Russell Hardy, 31, of Thatcher, Ariz., and the mechanic was Joseph Hardwick, 22, of Safford. Babeu said he personally notified the mother late

Wednesday. The woman, who is divorced from the children’s father, is also a pilot. “This is their entire family — it’s terrible,” Babeu said. “Our hearts go out to the mom and the (families) of all the crash victims. We have has so many people that are working this day, and we just want to support them and embrace them and try to bring closure to this tragedy.” There was no indication the plane was in distress or that the pilot had radioed

controllers about any problem, the sheriff said. It was very dark at the time, and the plane missed clearing the peak by only several hundred feet. The aircraft slammed into an area of rugged peaks and outcroppings in the Superstition Mountains, 40 miles east of downtown Phoenix, at about 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, authorities said. People called 911 reporting an explosion near a peak known as the Flat Iron, close to Lost Dutchman State Park, sheriff’s spokeswoman Angelique Graham said.

Occupy movements celebrate Thanksgiving SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Most Americans spent Thanksgiving snug inside homes with families and football. Others used the holiday to give thanks alongside strangers at outdoor Occupy encampments, serving turkey or donating their time in solidarity with the anti-Wall Street movement that has gripped a nation consumed by economic despair. In San Francisco, 400 occupiers at a plaza in the financial district were served traditional Thanksgiving fixings sent by the renowned Glide Memorial Church to volunteers and supporters of the movement fighting social and economic inequality. “We are thankful that we are, first and foremost, in a country where we can protest,” said the Rev. Cecil Williams, the founder of Glide and a fixture in the city’s activist community. “And we are thankful that we believe that there are things that could be worked out and that we have a sense of hope. But we know

that hope only comes when you make a stand.” While the celebration remained peaceful in San Francisco, an amplified version of a family Thanksgiving squabble erupted in New York when police ordered a halt to drumming by protesters at an otherwise traditional holiday meal. About 500 protesters were digging into donated turkey and trimmings at lower Manhattan’s Zuccotti Park, when police told a drummer to drop playing. About 200 protesters surrounded a group of about 30 officers and began shouting in the park where the Occupy movement was launched on Sept. 17. “Why don’t you stop being cops for Thanksgiving?” yelled one protester. “Why don’t you arrest the drummers in the Thanksgiving parade?” hollered another. A van rolled up with more officers, but they stayed back as protesters eventually decided to call off the drumming and

COMBAT OUTPOST HANSON, Afghanistan (AP) — A turkey trot it was not. The U.S. Marines’ top general, James Amos, sprinted up and down the Helmand River Valley in southern Afghanistan on Thursday, visiting frontline Marines at nine remote outposts to share Thanksgiving and applaud their gains against the AMOS Taliban in a region where al-Qaida hatched the 9/11 plot a decade ago. Traveling mostly in an MV-22 Osprey, the hybrid that flies like an airplane and takes off and lands like a helicopter, Amos began shortly after daylight and

finished 14 hours later — and, improbably, managed to confront just one turkey dinner. At one point the 65-yearold Amos referred to his unusual daytrip as the “Bataan death march,” a reference to the gruesome forced march of American POWs in the Philippines during World War II. Amos shook hands with hundreds of Marines, all veterans of tough fighting in Helmand Province, which has been a focal point of the U.S.-led strategy to counter the Taliban and other insurgent groups. The Marines have vastly improved security in Helmand over the

Protestors used the holiday to give thanks alongside strangers at outdoor Occupy encampments nationwide, serving turkey or donating their time in solidarity with the anti-Wall Street movement. return to their food. Tensions have run high at the park since campers were evicted on Nov. 15. Protester Chris Coon wandered into Zuccotti in a Santa Claus suit with a list of “naughty” people that included former President George W. Bush, former Vice President Dick Cheney and New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg. “Bank of America foreclosed on the North Pole, then I flew here in my sleigh and the NYPD towed my sleigh,” Coon said. “So now I’m here in Zuccotti

Park protesting the 1 percent.” Demonstrators nationwide say they are protesting corporate greed and the concentration of wealth in the upper 1 percent of the American population. The movement was triggered by the high rate of unemployment and foreclosures, as well as the growing perception that big banks and corporations are not paying their fair share of taxes, yet are taking in huge bonuses while most Americans have seen their incomes drop.

past year, but with President Barack Obama having ordered 33,000 U.S. troops to withdraw from Afghanistan by next September, the prospects for sustaining those gains are uncertain, and the subject of debate at home. At each stop Amos struck similar themes in pep talks to his Marines: they are coming close to winning, and when the Marine Corps leaves Afghanistan it will shift its focus to the Pacific, where he said “a whole lot of opportunities” will await a Corps no longer bogged down by land wars in the greater Middle East. He also said Thanksgiving is a time for Marines to reflect on “the unique fraternal bond” among men and women at war. Marine Sgt. Maj. Michael Barrett, the top enlisted Marine, who accompanied Amos, said that for most troops Thanksgiving was just another day at war — until they finished their work. “Then they’ll have a meal of a lifetime,” he said. The feast was finally set for Amos when he arrived after dark at Camp Dwyer, the southern-most stop on his trip. He helped heap plates with roast turkey, baked ham and prime rib —

with all the traditional fixings — and then sat amongst the troops to finish it off. Amos said “Happy Thanksgiving” at each Marine outpost, but the troops did not seem in a festive mood — at least in the presence of their commandant. The business of war does not take a holiday. When he asked the Marines what was on their minds, they asked about the future of the Corps, the latest of Washington’s stalled budget debate, the possibility of seeing some of their retirement benefits go away, and internal Marine issues. Some conveyed a sense of confidence that Afghanistan would soon be behind them. At Combat Outpost Hanson, one member of the 3rd battalion, 6th Marine Regiment asked, “Who do you want us to fight next, sir?” Amos said he did not know, but he reassured the Marine that there would be no shortage of security crises in the years ahead. At Combat Outpost Alcatraz, in Sangin district where fierce fights against the Taliban have waned only recently, the top overall commander of the war, Marine Gen. John Allen, joined Amos for a pep talk to several dozen Marines.

CHICAGO (AP) — Maggie Daley, the wife of former Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley and a gracious promoter of the city’s cultural and educational programs, has died. She was 68. Maggie Daley, who had been diagnosed with breast cancer in 2002, died Thursday night, family spokeswoman Jacquelyn Heard told The Associated Press. Daley had been a reserved and dignified presence at her husband’s side during his 22 eventful years as mayor. Heard said Daley was surrounded by her husband and children when she died just after 6 p.m. CDT. “The mayor and his family would like to thank the people of Chicago for the many kindnesses they’ve shown Mrs. Daley over the years, and they appreciate your prayers during this time,” Heard said. When she first learned

she had breast cancer in June 2002, Daley said she was shocked. “But you pick up and you move on. … I’m not alone here. There are a lot of people who have experienced this,” Daley said in the weeks after the diagnosis. The Daleys’ daughter, Lally, had moved up her wedding from New Year’s Eve to Nov. 17 so her mother could fully participate. The former mayor said his wife had a difficult summer, and a longtime mayoral aide said she had suffered setbacks and was not getting around as much as she normally did. When Richard Daley was elected to his first term as Chicago’s mayor in 1989, he thanked his wife in his acceptance speech, calling her “the best campaigner in the family.” She was with him at the September 2010 news conference when he announced he wouldn’t seek another term. He left office in May 2011.

HUGO: Having been revered as a master for decades and functioning at the top of his game as he approaches 70, Martin Scorsese would seem to have nothing else to prove. So it’s thrilling to see him make a bold, creative leap with “Hugo,” which is not only an unusual family film from him but also his first movie in 3-D. Scorsese doesn’t just tinker with this newfangled technology, he embraces it fully. This is the most dazzling use of 3-D yet — more so than the vaunted “Avatar.” Scorsese has completely realized the production with a third dimension in mind and maximized it for its immersive qualities, a joy to behold at a time when so many films are shot in 2-D and shoddily converted to 3-D afterward. All the flawless production values you’d expect from a Scorsese film are in place, with the director reuniting with so many members of the creative team with whom he’s worked over the years. Based on the Brian Selznick children’s book “The Invention of Hugo Cabret,” ”Hugo” takes place at a train station in 1930s Paris, where the title character, a wide-eyed orphan played by Asa Butterfield, secretly lives in the walls and keeps all the clocks running on time. Chloe Grace Moretz is radiant as the inquisitive girl who helps him unlock the secrets of his past, which have something to do with the mean old man who runs the train station toy shop (Ben Kingsley). The film takes a little while to find its narrative footing, but eventually morphs from a children’s adventure into a lesson in the need for film preservation. PG for mild thematic material, some action/peril and smoking. 127 minutes. Three stars out of four. — Christy Lemire, AP Movie Critic MY WEEK WITH MARILYN: The breathy voice, the girlish cadence, the flirty demeanor, even the slightest facial gestures: Michelle Williams gets many of the details right and gives a thoroughly committed performance as Marilyn Monroe. But as good as Williams is — as good as she always is — and as devoted as she clearly was to embodying this woman fully, you never truly forget that you’re watching an extended impression of the pop culture icon. Much of that has to do with the fact that this is indeed a legend she’s playing, and it’s difficult to take mythology and turn it into something tangible and true. But the script from Adrian Hodges, based on memoirs by Colin Clark, doesn’t offer Williams much substance or subtlety with which to work. The Monroe she’s given functions in only two gears: Either she’s the dazzling, charismatic sex symbol of lore, or she’s stoned, insecure and in constant need of coddling. Surely there was more complexity to this woman who continues to fascinate us nearly four decades after her untimely death, but you won’t find it here. That kind of reductive approach unfortunately prevails throughout from director Simon Curtis, a British television veteran making his feature filmmaking debut. “Marilyn” takes place during the shooting of “The Prince and the Showgirl” in 1956 England, with Laurence Olivier (Kenneth Branagh) serving as her director and co-star. Eddie Redmayne plays Colin Clark himself, a young, star-struck and personality-free assistant from whom Monroe inexplicably sought comfort and support. R for language. 101 minutes.

Hotel California coming back Sounds of the Eagles to resonate through Troy once again BY LINDY JURACK iN75 Editor Hotel California is bringing the sounds of the Eagles back to Troy this winter. The Eagles tribute band, which has performed in town four times, returns to Hobart Arena Jan. 13, and tickets are on sale now. The band is based in the Toronto, Canada, and Buffalo, N.Y., area. iN75 spoke with bassist and vocalist Andy Lapointe in Canada about the upcoming show. “Troy’s been fun,” Lapointe said, noting three prior outdoor concerts in town and one at Hobart. Hotel California has been paying homage to the Eagles for 26 years. In addition to Lapointe, the band includes Mike Dimoulas on keyboard and lead guitar, Dean Young on drums and Rick Spyder on lead guitar. All the guys add their vocal talent to the sound they create together. “The band just fell into it 26 years ago,” Lapointe said about why they decided to cover the band that produced Top 40 singles “Take It Easy,” “Witchy Woman” and “Peaceful Easy Feeling,” all of which Hotel California cover at their concerts. Lapointe said at the time the group got together only a few tribute bands existed, includ-

ing ones honoring the Rolling Stones and the Beach Boys. “It just worked out really well,” Lapointe said. “We love the harmonies and love the music.” The audience at the January show can expect to hear “How Long,” “Busy Being Fabulous,” “Wasted Time,” “One of these Nights,” “Rocky Mountain Way,” “Dirty Laundry,” “Already Gone,” “Heartache Tonight,” “Desperado,” “Life in the Fast Lane,” “Lyin’ Eyes,” a personal favorite of Lapointe’s, and, of course, “Hotel California.” The guys slow it down with acoustic, sit-down versions of “Seven Bridges Road,” “Best of my Love,” “Heart of the Matter” and “Tequila Sunrise.” Sometimes the band adds “Take it to the Limit,” “Life’s Been Good,” “Boys of Summer,” “Last Resort” and “All She Wants to Do is Dance” to their set list. All of their songs are by the Eagles or by Don Henley and Joe Walsh, Eagles members who also had solo careers. Lapointe promises a good time at any Hotel California show. “You sing a lot with the band, do a lot of clapping,” he said. “It’s fun.” Saluting the sound and songs of the Eagles has taken Hotel California around the world. “We play all over North America. We’ve done

A DANGEROUS METHOD: Spitting and stammering, clawing and convulsing, her jaw jutting forward and her eyes popping out of her head, Keira Knightley is a frightening force of nature. And this is only at the film’s start. It’s a brazenly over-the-top performance, a huge gamble in depicting her character’s mania and selfloathing in such intentionally off-putting fashion. But eventually it pays off as it makes sense in context, and especially as this woman evolves. For this is a David Cronenberg film — although the pristine, cultured trappings might suggest otherwise — and this time, Knightley is his monster. Set in the early 20th century in Zurich and Vienna, “A Dangerous Method” follows the relationship between two of the leading voices in the development of psychoanalysis: Carl Jung (Michael Fassbender) and Sigmund Freud (Viggo Mortensen, a Cronenberg regular of late). Knightley plays Sabina Spielrein, the wealthy Russian who is as beautiful as she is tormented, and who ultimately comes between these two men. Sabina goes to Jung as his patient, not only shaking up his dull, structured life but also providing him a bountiful source of research for the new “talking cure” he’s crafting. She’s as screwed-up as she is because of spankings her father gave her starting in early childhood, punishment she didn’t just endure but actually began to welcome and find sexually stimulating. Fassbender, with his proper dress and carriage, quietly conveys Jung’s inner conflict, his percolating desire. Freud, of course, thinks every symptom is a manifestation of some sort of subconscious sexual impulse, so Sabina’s case gives these two much to chew on. Mortensen dials down his masculinity for a performance that’s dryly humorous, full of snarky vanity and droll little digs. R for sexual content and brief language. 99 minutes. Three stars out of four. — Christy Lemire, AP Movie Critic

THE ARTIST: The best validation for the nostalgia of “The Artist” is the film, itself. A silent movie in tribute to silent movies, it puts its money where its mouth is, so to speak — or not. Michel Hazanavicius’ black-and-white, near-wordless film is a loving, irresistibly charming ode to a long-ago movie era that not only summons the dormant conventions of silent moviemaking, but makes them dance again. Jean Dujardin stars as silent film star George Valentin, a kind of Douglas Fairbanks, swashbuckling matinee idol. He (along with his on- and off-screen sidekick Jack Russell terrier) is the toast of Hollywood, but the good times are soon to end: The Talkies are coming. Kinograph Studios head Al Zimmer (John Goodman) transitions to sound films with new, talking stars. Among them is Peppy Miller (Berenice Bejo), whose ascent mirrors Valentin’s fall. Though the film is remarkably true in style and production to the old silents, it doesn’t bear the visual flair that it should. Instead, it’s propelled by its performances, particularly Dujardin’s. He has an exquisite elegance, and builds a whole movie with only his gestures. It’s the film’s romance for the movies — and the melancholy wistfulness for the silent era — that makes it affecting, urging us to remember the simple, captivating beauty of moving images in a theater. PG-13 for a disturbing image and a crude gesture. 100 minutes. Three stars out of four. — Jake Coyle, AP Entertainment Writer

Come Celebrate the Holiday Season With a Lift Chair

HOLIDAY SALE

the guests NEW YORK (AP) — It would be so easy to give holiday parties if it weren’t for the guests. Guests who fail to RSVP, then show up with friends. Guests who arrive late and stay past your bedtime. Guests who clean out your shrimp cocktail but won’t touch your pasta salad. Guests who knock over drinks and nearly set their sleeves on fire reaching over your candles. And the worst guest of all: the one who’s busy the night of your holiday party and can’t make it. But you can outsmart them all and host a party as carefree for you as it is fun for them. Here are some tips for Party Management 101, from the invite to the “Goodnight!” • TIMING: Send the invitation for a holiday party too early and people forget. Wait too long and everyone’s booked. Kaity Eagle, a marketing specialist with InvitationConsultants.com, recommends sending invitations “no later than one month before the party. November and December are busy months.” Sunday evenings are a good alternative to busy Friday and Saturday nights. Yes, everyone has to go to work or school the next day, but if you schedule your party for late Sunday afternoon or early evening,

you could end up with a crowd. Friends might welcome a way to relax after a busy weekend of shopping and chores, especially if you offer a dinner buffet and save them the trouble of preparing a meal. • INVITES AND RSVPS: Paper, electronic or phone invitations? So many options, and yet so few result in RSVPs. The paper invite makes an impression, but it’s more work for you. It also may suggest an unintended formality or level of fuss for your party. On the other end of the spectrum is the phone or text invite. That may be a little too casual and easy to lose track of, especially if you’re sending them several weeks out. Electronic invitations Evite, email, Paperless Post, Facebook and other sites have become the default for many people, and may yield the most responses in our no-RSVP culture simply because responding requires just one click. But there are always a few who never RSVP. Some have no intention of coming; others may show up unannounced with uninvited friends. And a few will pledge their attendance, then never show, or cancel last-minute. How’s a hostess to cope? Jennifer Gullins of the Saphire Boston-based Event Group suggests pinning down commitments from a few BFFs. “It’s OK to take a pulse on your core group of invitees well in

advance. … This will ensure that you already know a good handful will be attending even before sending out the official invite.” Should you make followup calls to those who don’t respond? Debi Lilly, entertaining expert for the supermarket chain Safeway (NYSE:SWY) , says a gracious call or email to sincerely say, “I wanted to make sure you got my invitation,” is always appropriate. Another way to go is to send out a single email reminder a week before the event to everyone you haven’t heard from. If that too is ignored, they’re probably not coming. I’ve had luck over the years getting RSVPs to my annual Hanukkah party by including a special plea on the grounds that I want to have enough homemade latkes for everyone. Threatening that a tantalizing treat might disappear if you don’t have a reliable head count might be enough to shake the RSVPs out. Patricia Mendez, who offers tips at ezentertaining.net and wrote a book called “Easy Entertaining for Beginners,” says it’s prudent to assume that a few surprise guests will show up. “If you have 12 that RSVP, then plan for a few more just in case 16,” she said. She also suggests inviting a third more people than your space fits: “If your space will fit 12 to 16 people, send invitations to 20 to 24.” • FOOD AND DECOR: Food that’s good at room temperature is easiest on the host, though it limits the menu. See what prepared foods your supermarket is offering before you splurge at specialty stores; you might be surprised by the selection and quality of cold party platters and easy-tobake frozen hors d’oeuvres. Safeway’s Lilly says it’s easy to dress up frozen puffs with fresh herbs, fruit slivers, a drizzle of balsamic cream or shaved parmesan. “The trick,” she said, “is to elevate them.” And remember that variety is a virtue. I used to offer pasta salad as a side dish for potato pancakes until someone pointed out that it was just too many carbs. Fruit platters with berries, toothpicked pineapple chunks and melon balls, on the other hand, proved much more popular, as did chicken wings. Many people have dietary issues these days, so consider offering something for the vegetarian and for the low-salt, low-fat crowd, along with holiday treats that may be high-calorie or high-sugar.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Move out of the negative space Dear Annie: I am a sophomore in college and have been living with the same roommate for the past two years. I've known "Max" since high school, and we were good friends. Toward the end of last semester, however, Max started to do things that really irked me, but I was stressed from finals and thought maybe I was blowing it out of proportion. I figured spending the summer without dealing with him would clear things up, but I was wrong. Every time we speak, it has to be an argument. Regardless of the topic — sports, politics, calculus — his opinion is the only one that matters. He talks down to me, claiming his classes are tougher than mine and saying how "stupid" I am. Annie, I am a chemical engineering major and have already taken (and aced) all of the classes he is currently in. Max comes from a well-to-do family and uses that to show how much better he is than everyone else. Any money I have is because I worked my butt off and saved every penny. Since the semester began, I have been so annoyed with him that I've decided to move out as soon as possible. Unfortunately, this may take a while, as I can only afford a dorm room right now. Any suggestions? — Not Treated as an Equal Dear Equal: We think Max belittles you because he is insecure about his own intellect and abilities. Sometimes being born into money creates the fear that without it, you'd be nothing. Please talk to your residential advisor or the housing office and ask to be transferred to another dorm room. It may even be possible to move out before the next semester begins. Until then, try to avoid Max as much as possible. Study in the library. Hang out in a friend's room. Find other space to occupy. Dear Annie: My mother is one of 10 children. Two years ago, her older sister started a huge fight with a few of the siblings. "Aunt Josie" has been very nasty and also posted inappropriate messages on Facebook. She's always been coddled because we've believed she has some mental health issues. Now, my family has chosen to quit speaking to her. The problem is that my grandmother is choosing sides. She hasn't visited our house for months, but is at Aunt Josie's often. She also recently announced that she would not be attending one grandson's welcome home party because Aunt Josie isn't invited. (Mind you, Aunt Josie never invites any of us to her events.) My grandmother is aware of some of the nasty things my aunt has said. Is it wrong for me to tell my grandmother that she is mistreating the rest of the family? No one else seems to think it's worth it. — Boston College Girl Dear Boston: Grandma worries that she is the last family member who still cares about Aunt Josie. This is her child. She takes her side because no one else will. We don't recommend you pit Grandma against her daughter. Instead, say that you miss her and wish she would spend more time with the family. The rest is up to her. Dear Annie: My heart goes out to "Strong but Broken," who has suffered for 40 years because of cruel bullying by a classmate and her friends. My recommendation in such cases is to transform the hurt by helping others who have been similarly hurt. Bullying is such a problem in schools today, with some kids even taking their own lives. By simply talking to school groups, church groups and individuals, she could do a world of good, both for those who are being bullied and for those who are doing the bullying. I have found that often when we give another that which we ourselves need, it opens the doors for our own healing, and I truly wish that for her. — N.C.

HINTS FROM HELOISE

Buttons offer a variety of uses Dear Readers: A recent column about USES FOR BUTTONS brought a great response! What trends came up? You’ll be surprised how creative some are. Lots of teachers said buttons make great teaching tools. Adding, subtracting, grouping by colors, sizes, number of holes, etc., all were on the lesson plans. These exercises help students learn thinking skills, the teachers said. Seniors can benefit from counting and sorting buttons. One reader bought a contain-

Hints from Heloise Columnist er of buttons at a yard sale to help his mother, who had suffered a stroke. Some other creative ideas from our readers? • Terri M. says, “A pretty dish full of a variety of buttons looks special in a guest

bedroom or bath.” • Susan says: “When my daughter got married last year, buttons from her grandparents and great-grandparents were incorporated into the flower arrangements, including the bouquets, boutonnieres and corsages. The florist was thrilled to help us with this personal touch.” • Patti says: “When my mom passed away six years ago, she had a large amount of old buttons. I came up with the idea to hot-glue them on the limbs of a Christmas tree.”

• Pat writes, “I cut the shanks off the back of buttons, glue on a post and have fun earrings.” • Kathleen writes, “My grandson likes to help me find pretty buttons to adorn gifts.” • Dianne spilled bleach on her shirt and sewed pretty buttons on the spots to hide them. Thank you for all the wonderful responses! — Heloise P.S.: I have a “button box” from my mother (the original Heloise, 1919-1977), and the buttons bring back memories of her teaching me to sew.

HOROSCOPE Friday, Nov. 25, 2011 If you should find that time is finally granting you a more secure and independent self, the year ahead will likely be a very impressive one. You could ably tackle endeavors that previously would have been overwhelming. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — You’ll not receive any standing ovations by using intimidating tactics on friends and/or associates to get your way, even if you do accomplish your purpose. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Imposing your views and opinions on friends will be futile. They might agree with you when in your presence, but they will then march to a totally different drummer. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Don’t take a request for your advice as an invitation to be too candid. Chances are the person asking will be looking for an endorsement, not criticism. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — If you find that you and your special someone are operating on different wavelengths, it would be smart to avoid any discussions about each other’s faults. Nip such palavers immediately! ARIES (March 21-April 19) — Just because you know a little something about the issue at hand, it’s no reason to volunteer to handle an issue for another person. Leave that up to the experts. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — It’s essential to remain patient when involved in some kind of complex commercial dealings. Hasty or impulsive actions could get you in way over your pay grade. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — Someone who wasn’t given the right to do so could make an important decision for you that won’t be in your best interests. Be on your toes, so you can take action and stop disaster before it starts. CANCER (June 21-July 22) — If anything expensive or delicate needs some mending, chances are it would be cheaper to let an expert handle the job rather than attempting to make repairs on your own steam. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Whether you’re operating on an expense account or a household budget, be prepared to justify all the expenditures you make. Needless spending could hurt others. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — People you’re with are likely to sense that something is annoying you, and they might think they’re the source. Having a churlish attitude won’t resolve your problem, but it could cause a needless blowup. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — If you insist on focusing on people’s shortcomings, you’re more than likely to cause complications where none need exist. Instead, try to see the good in others. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — All the good you did by doing a friend a favor will be for naught if you keep bugging him or her about the need to repay it. Both your pal and onlookers could find your demands totally out of place. COPYRIGHT 2011 United Feature Syndicate, Inc.

TODAY IN HISTORY (AP) — Today is Friday, Nov. 25, the 329th day of 2011. There are 36 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Nov. 25, 1986, the IranContra affair erupted as President Ronald Reagan and Attorney General Edwin Meese revealed that profits from secret arms sales to Iran had been diverted to Nicaraguan rebels. On this date: • In 1783, the British evacuated New York, their last military position in the United States during the Revolutionary War.

• In 1881, Pope John XXIII was born Angelo Giuseppe Roncalli at Sotto il Monte, Italy. • In 1940, the cartoon character Woody Woodpecker made his debut in the animated short “Knock Knock.” • In 1961, the first nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, USS Enterprise, was commissioned. In 1963, the body of President John F. Kennedy was laid to rest at Arlington National Cemetery; his widow, Jacqueline, lighted an “eternal flame” at the gravesite. • In 1999, five-year-old Elian Gonzalez was rescued by a pair of

PRAGUE, Okla. (AP) — A small earthquake hit central Oklahoma just in time for Thanksgiving dinner. The U.S. Geological Survey recorded a 3.7 magnitude quake about 3:11 p.m. Thursday near Prague, Okla. The epicenter of the quake was 17 miles northeast of Shawnee and 44 miles east of Oklahoma City. There weren’t any immediate reports of damage or injuries, said Jessica Elder, a 911 dispatcher in surrounding Lincoln County. She said she felt the quake, which she described as more of a boom than a rumble. Geologists say earthquakes of magnitude 2.5 to 3.0 are generally the smallest felt by humans.

Plenty of upsets throughout rivalry COLUMBUS (AP) — Being a favorite doesn’t mean much whenever Ohio State and Michigan meet. The history of this heated rivalry is littered with upsets and surprises. No. 17 Michigan (9-2, 5-2) is hoping to grab a share of the Big Ten’s Legends Division title on Saturday, and bolster its argument for a major bowl game. Ohio State (6-5, 3-4) has suffered through a difficult season shadowed by ominous NCAA sanctions, the loss of a 10-year head coach for breaking rules, injuries and more losses than any

Buckeyes team in a decade. In other words, don’t count out the Buckeyes, who are sevenpoint underdogs. The unexpected has happened repeatedly in The Game’s storied 107 meetings. Ohio State pounded Michigan 50-14 in 1968. It was late in that game, long after the outcome had been decided, when curmudgeonly Buckeyes coach Woody Hayes elected to try a 2-point conversion after a touchdown. Asked later why he did it, he snarled: “Because I couldn’t go

NBA resumes labor discussions Talks aimed at ending the NBA lockout have resumed, two people with knowledge of the situation said, with a quick settlement necessary to start the season by Christmas. The discussions began quietly Tuesday and are expected to continue through the Thanksgiving holiday, the people told The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity Wednesday because the talks were supposed to remain confidential.

DETROIT (AP) — Aaron Rodgers took every hit the Detroit Lions could dish out. He just kept throwing — and winning. Rodgers threw two touchdown passes and the Green Bay Packers built a big lead in the third quarter thanks in part to Ndamukong Suh’s ejection during a 27-15 victory in Detroit on Thursday. Detroit’s best chance to beat the Packers was to knock

Rodgers out of the game, just as it did last year in a victory that started a nine-game winning streak. The Lions gave that tactic a shot, hitting him even if he had already gotten rid of the ball. Kyle Vanden Bosch was flagged for one of those late hits and could’ve drawn another penalty for trying to rough up the star quarterback even more on the same drive. Rodgers refused to be rattled,

kept his cool and won again. “We try to rise above things like that,” Rodgers said. “We knew in a rivalry game, there are going to be a hard of hard hits, but we kept things between the whistles.” The defending champion Packers are 11-0 for the first time in franchise history and have won a team-record 17 straight, including the playoffs.

COLUMBUS (AP) — William Buford couldn’t have been happier that No. 3 Ohio State was playing against VMI, a team that liked to press and run and gun. Buford scored 23 points and Jared Sullinger added 17 points and 12 rebounds to lead the Buckeyes past the Keydets 10774 on Wednesday night. “I liked it. I don’t know about everybody else, but I did,” Buford said of VMI’s up-tempo style. “We just stayed with it and we were making shots on offense and getting rebounds and pushing it.” Aaron Craft had 13 points and eight assists, Deshaun Thomas 11 points and J.D. Weatherspoon 10 points for the Buckeyes (5-0), who shot 68 percent from the field. “I told our guys after the game Monday night, I said, ‘Hey, this (VMI) is going to be a fun game for you,’” Ohio State coach Thad Matta said. Buford, the only senior on Ohio State’s roster, had hit just 8 of 23 field-goal attempts in Ohio State’s last two games and was shooting just 41.7 percent from the field on the season. But he made 10 of 16 shots from the field, including both 3-point attempts and his only foul shot.

Thanksgiving special Romo delivers again in holiday win ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Tony Romo doesn’t care about winning in style. He’s leading the Dallas Cowboys to victories, and that’s all that matters. Romo overcame a pair of early interceptions by throwing two touchdown passes to Laurent Robinson and rookie Dan Bailey AP PHOTO made a 28-yard field goal as time Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo (9) prepares to pass in expired, giving the Dallas the second half Thursday in Arlington, Texas. Cowboys a 20-19 victory over the

Miami Dolphins on Thursday. The Cowboys (7-4) were never able to grab control, but also never trailed by more than six points. The defense gave up scores on four straight series, but limited the damage because three of those were field goals. They finally got a stop with Dallas trailing 19-17.

Packers ■ CONTINUED FROM 12 “I don’t feel any pressure, this is a good place to be,” coach Mike McCarthy said. “Who doesn’t want to be 11-0?” Green Bay easily passed what was expected to be one of its toughest tests toward joining the 2007 New England Patriots as the NFL’s only teams to have 16-0 regular seasons. “We’re a long way from there,” Rodgers said. “This is a big step toward our AP PHOTO first goal, which is winning Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (12) the division. If we are throws during the second quarter against the Detroit undefeated after 14 or 15 Lions in Detroit Thursday. games, we’ll talk about 16.”

While the Packers are working on a perfect season, Detroit (7-4) has to figure out a way to avoid the physical and mental mistakes that have put the team on the playoff bubble after a 5-0 start. The Lions have lost a franchise-record eight consecutive Thanksgiving games and added to their misery in ugly fashion. “It really does ruin the holiday,” center Dominic Raiola said. “You put so much into this and to go out there and lay an egg like that, it’s disappointing. My day’s ruined.”

Suh’s day might lead to another fine and possibly a suspension. He was tossed for stomping on Evan Dietrich-Smith’s right arm in the third quarter. Suh insisted he didn’t intentionally step on the opposing lineman with his right foot, saying he was just trying to separate himself from the situation. “I apologize to my teammates and my fans and my coaches for putting myself in a position to be misinterpreted and taken out of the game,” Suh said. Dietrich-Smith wouldn’t

say it was a dirty play. “Stuff happens,” he said. Green Bay defensive end Ryan Pickett was more outspoken. “There’s no place for that,” Pickett said. The Packers took advantage of Suh’s misstep just as they did on Matthew Stafford’s three interceptions. John Kuhn followed nose tackle B.J. Raji for a 1yard TD plunge after Suh was flagged on third down, and Green Bay turned interceptions Stafford’s into two TDs and a field goal.

Buckeyes

UD holds off Wake

■ CONTINUED FROM 12 for three!” While the Buckeyes racked up win after win the following season, things had changed at Michigan. A former Woody acolyte, Bo Schembechler, had taken over as coach. He pointed all season for the Buckeyes and his mentor. Schembechler had signs placed all over Michigan’s practice field with that gruesome score. In the locker room, he put up another sign reading, “What the mind can conceive and believe, the mind can achieve. Those that stay will be Champions!” The players had to look at those words every day. “We knew we were going to win even though we were 18-point underdogs against the best college football team ever assembled,” said Jim Brandstatter, then an offensive lineman for the Wolverines and now a radio voice for his alma mater’s games. “They hadn’t lost in two years, were coming off a national championship and were the consensus No. 1 team.” By the time their season-ending clash came along, the Wolverines came in with two losses and Ohio State was riding a 22-game winning streak. By grinding out yards on the ground and pouncing on turnovers Barry Pierson had three of Michigan’s six interceptions when the ground-oriented Buckeyes were forced to pass the student’s team beat the teacher’s, 24-12. At a dinner his former players had for him years later, Hayes got up to speak. Schembechler was in the audience. “He looked down from

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. (AP) — Paul Williams scored 18 points, Chris Johnson hit a tiebreaking 3-pointer in the final minute and Dayton beat Wake Forest 80-76 in the opening round of the Old Spice Classic on Thursday night. Johnson’s shot from the corner gave Dayton (3-1) a 77-75 lead with 35.4 seconds left. Wake Forest (3-1) turned the ball over on its next possession, and then fouled Williams, who made 1 of 2 free throws for a three-point advantage with 9.2 seconds to go. After Wake Forest’s Kevin Dillard connected on one of two from the foul line, Johnson made two free throws for an 80-76 lead. A back-and-forth contest saw Dayton go up 6766 with 4:23 remaining on Williams three-pointer. Wake Forest responded with five straight points, all from Travis McKie, to

You will never win a bigger game than that!’” Schembechler said with a chuckle. “And he was right. I don’t think I ever did.” Five days before the 1987 game, also in Ann Arbor, Ohio State coach Earle Bruce was abruptly fired almost nine seasons into a successful tenure. Ohio State President Ed Jennings didn’t give a good reason. Adding to the tumult, he also fired Athletic Director Rick Bay when Bay refused to fire Bruce. A former Buckeyes player and another Hayes disciple, Bruce was not beloved by spoiled Ohio State fans who felt his 81-26-1 record just wasn’t good enough. But public sentiment shift-

ed in the wake of his firing. And his players remain devoted to him. The Buckeyes were just 5-4-1 when they arrived in enemy territory, still in shock. Just before the kickoff, Bruce was standing on the sidelines and turned to say something to an assistant when he noticed out of the corner of his eye that his players were wearing white headbands. “I was going to tell them to get those headbands off,” Bruce recalled. “When I looked at them, I saw that they said ‘Earle’ and then I thought I can’t very well tell them to take them off.” The Buckeyes pulled off a 23-20 stunner, and Bruce went to the Michigan locker room after the game to say goodbye to his close

friend, Schembechler. Bo looked up at Bruce and said: “You know how I don’t like losing. But, somehow, today I don’t mind.” In both 1995 and 1996, Ohio State rolled into the rivalry unbeaten, ranked No. 2 and on the verge of playing for a national championship. Michigan, with three losses already, had little to play for except ruining the Buckeyes’ season. Before the 1995 game, Ohio State wide receiver Terry Glenn said, “Michigan is nobody.” But the nobodies won 31-23 behind a virtual unknown named Tshimanga “Tim” Biakabutuka, who piled up 313 yards on 37 carries to outplay Buckeyes Heisman Trophy winner Eddie George.

NBA labor talks pick back up NEW YORK (AP) — Talks aimed at ending the NBA lockout have resumed, two people with knowledge of the situation said, with a quick settlement necessary to start the season by Christmas. The discussions began quietly Tuesday and are expected to continue through the Thanksgiving holiday, the people told The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity Wednesday because the talks were supposed to remain confidential.

The talks between representatives of the owners and players are now centered on settling their lawsuits: The players filed an antitrust lawsuit against the league in Minnesota and the league filed a pre-emptive suit in New York, seeking to prove the lockout was legal. Neither side commented on the talks, first reported by Yahoo Sports, though the league said in a statement it “remains in favor of a negotiated resolution” to the lockout. The news revived the

hopes of saving the Christmas slate, when the league schedules some marquee matchups to kick off its national TV package. The NBA finals rematch between Dallas and Miami was to headline three games this season The league had wanted to open a 72-game schedule on Dec. 15, pushing the start of the playoffs and finals back a week, if players had agreed to the last offer. But players rejected the owners’ most recent proposal on Nov. 14, announcing instead they

were disbanding the union to pave the way to sue the league. The plan now would be for 66 games if a resolution comes soon. The league played a 50-game schedule in 1998-99 during its last lockout, when a deal didn’t come until January, so there’s still hope of some games this season even if it doesn’t include Christmas. Commissioner David Stern has said it would take about 30 days from an agreement to the start of the regular season.

take a four-point lead. Matt Kavanaugh had 15 points and 13 rebounds and Dillard finished with 15 points for Dayton. Wake Forest got 20 points from Travis McKie. C.J Harris added 18.’ No. 4 UConn 73, UNC Asheville 63 PARADISE ISLAND, Bahamas — Shabazz Napier and Jeremy Lamb each scored 23 points to help No. 4 Connecticut run its winning streak to 16 games with a 73-63 victory over UNC Asheville on Thursday night in the first round of the Battle 4 Atlantis. No. 22 Florida St. 73, UMass 53 PARADISE ISLAND, Bahamas — Michael Snaer had 18 points and 10 rebounds and No. 22 Florida State took advantage of Massachusetts’ dismal shooting in a 73-53 victory Thursday in the first round of the Battle 4 Atlantis tournament.

Cowboys ■ CONTINUED FROM 12 Romo took over on his 36-yard line with 2:59 left. He completed a few passes, then rookie DeMarco Murray kept grinding out yards and winding down the clock to set up Bailey’s winner. “We did enough to give ourselves a chance to win the game,” Dallas coach Jason Garrett said. This was the second straight game that Bailey ended with a field goal, and the fourth time he’s done it this season. The kick was his 26th straight made field goal, matching the second-best in club history. It also was a measure of redemption for Cowboys fans, coming 18 years after the Dolphins won a Thanksgiving game on a last-second field goal following Leon Lett’s memorable gaffe on a snowy afternoon. This time, conditions were so balmy that the glass endzone doors at Cowboys Stadium were opened for the first time all season. Dallas won its fourth straight, continuing its best streak since a division championship season in 2009. The Cowboys also grabbed sole possession of first place in the NFC East, moving a half-

game ahead of the Giants. New York plays at New Orleans on Monday night. Miami (3-8) had won three straight. The Dolphins hadn’t allowed a touchdown for 13 quarters before Robinson’s first TD with 55 seconds left in the first half. Matt Moore set up that touchdown by letting a shotgun snap go through his hands for a fumble that was recovered by Dallas only 5 yards from the end zone. He bounced back by leading Miami to scores on four straight possessions. He had three straight drives of at least 70 yards in the second half, putting the Dolphins up 19-17 with 7:14 left. He didn’t score on his final drive, and that wound up being the difference. Romo ended a streak of 128 straight passes without an interception, but he completed 22 of 34 for 226 yards. Many of those came while scrambling and some while also being hit or grabbed. He was patient waiting for the 5-yarder to Robinson to develop, and the pair were in sync on an 18yarder made with Romo moving to his left.

■ Tennis

Nadal upset at ATP LONDON (AP) — Whatever Rafael Nadal tried to throw at JoWilfried Tsonga on Thursday, it seemed the Frenchman was always one step ahead of him. Now Nadal is hoping he hasn’t lost his passion for the game. Tsonga qualified for the semifinals of the ATP World Tour Finals at the expense of Nadal, beating the second-ranked Spaniard 7-6 (2), 4-6, 6-3 in a decisive round-robin match to join Roger Federer in the last four in the season-ending tournament. Nadal who suffered his worst loss ever to Federer in a 6-3, 6-0 defeat Tuesday then acknowledged that his motivation and desire has been lacking since losing the U.S. Open final to Novak Djokovic in September. Nadal hasn’t won a title since then, losing his only final to Andy Murray in Tokyo. “I was little bit less passionate for the game probably, because I was a little bit more tired than usual,” Nadal said. “To compete I wasn’t in the right way.” Against Tsonga these days, you need to be. The tall Frenchman used his powerful ground strokes to dictate play against Nadal, and tried to speed up rallies by using a serve-and-volley approach that the Spaniard struggled to counter. “Jo knows where I hit every ball during the point,” Nadal said. “I didn’t have a surprise shot during all the match. So that’s very difficult at this level.” Nadal still plans to play in the Davis Cup final against Argentina in December an event that usually brings out the best in him and gives him a chance to end 2011 on a high note.

■ Cycling

Contador appeal heard L A U S A N N E , Switzerland (AP) — Sport’s highest court completed a four-day hearing into Alberto Contador’s doping case on Thursday, and the Spanish rider must now wait until early next year to find out if he will be stripped of his 2010 Tour de France title. Contador made a final, personal appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport panel to complete his defense that eating contaminated steak caused his positive tests for clenbuterol during his third Tour victory. “He spoke for about 15 minutes,” CAS secretary general Matthieu Reeb told reporters after Contador left the court. “He took the case very seriously. He was present for all the case and attended all the discussions.” Reeb said the threeman panel would need “six to eight weeks” to reach a verdict and explain its decision. Contador did not comment as he left court with members of his legal team and got into a waiting taxi. Lawyers for the International Cycling Union and World AntiDoping Agency also declined comment.

105 Announcements

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

Tips on Caring for a Real Tree 1. Keep the tree in a cool, shady place like the garage or porch until ready to bring indoors to decorate. 2. Saw a thin disk (1/2 to 1 inch) off the trunk prior to placing the tree in a water-holding stand. 3. Make the cut perpendicular to the axis of the stem, NOT in a v-shape or at angles. The tree will “drink” its water through the layer between the bark and wood. If you shave the bark off of the trunk the tree will not be able to absorb water. 4. Place the tree in its water-holding stand within two hours after making the cut to the trunk. When a tree is cut it will naturally form a seal of sap over it’s stump to keep moisture in the tree. You must break the seal to allow the tree to once again “drink” the water needed to keep it fresh throughout the holidays. 5. Your stand must be able to hold enough water for the size of the tree. A good rule of thumb is a one-quart capacity for every inch of diameter of the trunk.

Buck Eyes An inside look at Ohio State football WHERE ARE THEY NOW? NAME: Chico Nelson HOMETOWN: Sarasota, Fla. OHIO STATE YEARS: 1990-93 HIGHLIGHTS: Nelson was a three-year starter at safety, with seven career interceptions. He was first-team All-Big Ten as a senior. He had 11 tackles and an interception against Michigan in 1992. AFTER OSU: Nelson was an undrafted free agent who did not earn a full-time NFL roster spot. He has a degree in marketing from OSU and works in that field for a Florida golf course/gated community.

RECRUITING UPDATE

Adolphus Washington a senior “If this was a defensive lineman from Cincinnati Taft announced a verbal commitment to players meeting, Ohio State at a Tuesday press conyou might not ference. His teammate Dwayne Stanford, a senior wide receiver, combe here right mited to sign with Oregon at the same press conference. now.” Ifeadi Odenigbo a senior linebacker/defensive end from Centerville, has been invited to the Under Armour All-American game. He has offers from Ohio State, Notre Dame, Stanford, USC, Northwestern and California. Se’Von Pittman., a senior defensive — Ohio State football coach Luke Fickell’s reaction after a reporter’s cell end from Canton McKinley, verbally phone rang during his press confer- committed to Michigan State last summer, but Ohio State fans continue to ence on Monday.. hope there might be some residual interest in OSU.

1: Which OSU back had the most rushing yards in a Michigan game? 2: Which OSU quarterback threw for the most yards in a Michigan game? 3: Which OSUreceiver had the most catches in a Michigan game? 4: Which OSU back had the longest

run in a Michigan game? 5: Which OSU player had the lon-

gest punt return in a Michigan game? Answers: 1. Chris Wells (222 yards) in 2007; 2. Joe Germaine (330 yards) in 1998; 3. Brian Stablein (12) in 1992; 4. Dan Herron (89 yards) in 2010; 5. Tom Campana (85 yards) in 1971.

Ohio State at Michigan, Noon, Saturday, ABC those yards have come in his last four games. Fitzgerald had 138 yards rushing and scored two touchdowns in a 45-17 win over Nebraska last Saturday. Advantage: Even

QUARTERBACKS > Ohio State freshman Braxton Miller continues to be a running threat despite opposing defenses obviously knowing he is much more likely to run than to pass. Miller (595 yards rushing, 762 yards passing) is completing 48.6 percent of his passes, the lowest by a starting Big Ten quarterback. Michigan QB Denard Robinson (1,889 yards passing, 993 yards rushing) has had to adjust to new coach Brady Hoke’s more traditional offense after running Rich Rodriguez’s spread offense last season. He is averaging two fewer running attempts than last season and his completion percentage has dropped eight percentage points. But he remains one of the most dangerous dual-threat quarterbacks in college football. Advantage: Michigan

RECEIVERS > Ten times when Woody Hayes was Ohio State’s coach, the team’s leading receiver had fewer than 10 catches for the season. OSU’s receivers won’t quite drop to that level this season, but tight end Jake Stoneburner is leading the Buckeyes with 13 catches and Corey Brown has 12. For Michigan, Junior Hemingway (30 catches, 591 yards) is the leading receiver. Maybe the biggest mystery about the Wolverines is what has happened to wideout Roy Roundtree. He led Michigan with 72 catches last season and also was the team’s No. 1 receiver two years ago as a freshman. But this year he has caught only 17 passes and has just two catches for touchdowns. Advantage: Michigan

OFFENSIVE LINE

OSU produced fewer than 300 yards against Penn State. Center Michael Brewster had trouble with long snaps several times. And J.B. Shugarts was flagged for a devastating false start penalty on OSU’s final drive. So, there is room for improvement this weekend. Michigan can score (33.6 points a game) and move the ball (421.2 yards per game). Center David Molk and tackle Mark Huyge are the most experienced offensive linemen for the Wolverines. Advantage: Even

DEFENSIVE LINE > Slow starts have been an issue for OSU’s defense and offense lately. Indiana, Purdue and Penn State all jumped out to 10-0 leads on the Buckeyes in their last three games. Defensive tackle Johnathan Hankins, of Detroit, might draw some incentive from the fact Michigan didn’t show a lot of recruiting interest in him. Michigan’s defense has made an amazing turnaround this season, giving up 15.6 points a game after surrendering 35.8 points and 450 yards per game a year ago. Defensive ends Ryan Van Bergen (10 tackles for losses) and Craig Roh (8 tackles for losses, 4.5 sacks) and Mike Martin (5.5 tackles for losses, 3 sacks) are the leaders of this unit for Michigan. Advantage: Michigan

LINEBACKERS > Andrew Sweat probably will miss a second straight game with a concussion. His replacement, freshman Ryan Shazier, had 15 tackles against Penn State. Middle linebacker Kenny Demens, who started in 2010, leads Michigan in tackles (78). But two other returning starters, J.B. Fitzgerald and Cam Gordon, have not started a game this season. Advantage: Michigan

LUKE FICKELL Ohio State football coaches are often judged by how their teams perform in “The Game.” Fickell, who grew up in Columbus, knows all about this. A win at Michigan could give the Ohio State coach a reason to smile in a sometimes bleak year.

< DEFENSIVE BACKS Ohio State trails Michigan in turnovers forced, 26-16, but only seven of the Wolverines’ turnovers are pass interceptions. Orhian Johnson’s interception against Penn State tied him with Bradley Roby for the team lead with three. J.T. Floyd is the only Michigan defensive back with more than one interception. Advantage: Ohio State

RUNNING BACKS Dan Herron (556 yards) has cooled off a bit in his last two games, gaining 76 and 65 yards, after having more than 100 yards in the previous three games. But he has a history of playing well against Michigan. He rushed for 175 yards against the Wolverines last season and had 96 yards two years ago. Sophomore Fitzgerald Toussaint, from Youngstown, has emerged as Michigan’s No. 1 running back after it used a running backs by committee approach earlier in the season. Toussaint has 891 yards rushing, but 558 of

Playing favorites in The Game Twenty years now. Where did they go? This is the 20th year I’ve written about Ohio State football for The Lima News. And that means Saturday’s game between OSU and Michigan will be the 20th time I’ve been at that game. Most Novembers, someone will ask me what my favorite Ohio State-Michigan games of the last 20 years are. My answer never changes. I say, “I don’t have favorites. I have most memorable games.” What I mean by that is that a couple of the games that stand out most for me in this rivalry are games Ohio State lost. They stand out just because they were so stunning or so emotional or for such high stakes. Here are my Top 5 from the last 20 years: 1. (2006) Ohio State 42, Michigan 39. No. 1 Ohio State against No. 2 Michigan. For once, a game of the century lived up to its advance billing. And Bo Schembechler, one of the towering presences of this rivalry, had died the day before the game. 2. (2002) Ohio State 14, Michigan 9. Like the 2006 game, this win sent the Buckeyes to the BCS national championship game. And like six other games in that magical national championship season, it was decided by a touchdown or less. Maurice Hall got the game-winning touchdown on a 4-yard run and Will Allen’s interception in the end zone as time ran out ended it. 3. (2005) Ohio State 25, Michigan 21. Troy Smith threw for 300 yards and led Ohio State back from nine points down with 7 ½ minutes to play. And Anthony Gonzalez made the best catch I’ve ever seen by an OSU receiver not named Terry Glenn. 4. (1995) Michigan 31, Ohio State 23. Tshimanga Biakabutuka and 313 yards is all you need to know. I was so sure Ohio State was going to win that I had already booked a flight for the Rose Bowl. 5. (1997) Michigan 20, Ohio State 14. OSU was so close, but Charles Woodson locked up the Heisman Trophy instead.
