Troy teen dies in two-car crash Casstown resident, other victims transported to MVH BY MELODY VALLIEU Staff Writer vallieu@tdnpublishing.com

Pitt coasts past Robert Morris

The Springfield post of the Ohio State Highway Patrol is investigating a fatal crash where a Troy teen died Sunday, according to Sgt. Yvonne Thorne of the Springfield post. The crash happened at 2:20 p.m. Sunday in Clark County on U.S. Route 40 at the intersection of State Route 571, when a 1992

Buick Century driven by 17-yearold Joshua Treon of Casstown collided with a 2011 Chevrolet Cruze driven by 51-year-old Daniel Elliot of Vandalia. Christen Hensley, 15, of Troy, a passenger in Treon’s vehicle died at the scene, according to Thorne. “This is very tragic for this to happen to a young woman just starting out her life,” Thorne said. Thorne said the crash occurred when Treon, who was driving southbound on State Route 571,

drove into the intersection and struck Elliott’s vehicle, which was eastbound on U.S. Route 40. Both vehicles went off the southeast side of the roadway with the Chevrolet Cruze coming to rest against a metal traffic light box. Treon suffered non-life threatening injuries and was transported to Miami Valley Hospital by squad. Thorne said both Treon and Hensley appeared to be wearing seatbelts at the time of the crash.

Ashton Gibbs scored 21 points and Cameron Wright added a career-high 13 as No. 17 Pittsburgh rolled past Robert Morris 81-71 on Sunday. The Panthers (5-1) won their third straight by shooting 55 percent from the field in the first half and playing with a defensive intensity they have lacked at times early in the season.

BETHEL TOWNSHIP The driver of the Chevrolet, Daniel Elliot, and his passenger, 54-year old-Deborah Elliot, also of Vandalia, were both transported by squad to Miami Valley Hospital for non-life threatening injuries. Treon, Daniel Elliot and Deborah Elliot all were treated and released, according to a hospital spokeswoman. The crash remains under investigation and charges are pending, Thorne said.

Occupy Philly deadline passes A deadline set by the city for Occupy Philadelphia to leave the plaza it has occupied for some two months came and went sans scuffles and arrests as police watched nearly 50 demonstrators lock arms and sit at the entrance of Dilworth Plaza. The scene was far different from other, previous encampments in cities elsewhere where pepper spray, tear gas and police action resulted in the decampment of long-situated demonstrators, but Occupy Philadelphia has managed to avoid the mass arrests and conflict that has arisen at other sites.

Christmas in the Village is back, and adding some extra elements this year to enrich the experience of both the 1,000 expected tourists and the eight homeowners. “We have to serve a lot of people , we have to serve the ticket buyer well, and we have to make sure the homeowners have a positive experience,” said Village Captain Heather Bailey. Christmas in the Village is Tipp City’s home holiday tour, formerly known as Home for the Holidays. Over the past couple of years, Bailey and her crew have revamped the holiday kick-off, blocking off streets and adding entertainment. This year, Bailey looked inside the homes to find the extra element. To complement the theme “Over the Top,” each homeowner is getting a little outside help from a local designer. Specifically, on their dining table top. “We wanted a designer element as a way to give a powerful visual focus,” Bailey said. Doyenne of Decorators co-chairs Randy Luken and Molly Spencer have gathered eight professional designers, hailing from Tipp City, Troy, Kettering and Dayton. Each designer is paired with a homeowner and has met with them to find a theme that matches their unique style.

“I was totally blown away by the homeowner’s cooperation,” said Spencer, adding “I was surprised how eager the designers were to do it, too.” Any original nervousness was dissipated at the initial homeowners’ meeting back in September. Every member of the Christmas in the Village committee spoke to the group and explained their role, so the homeowners knew exactly what to expect. When Luken stood up to talk about the designers coming in, he told them “the No. 1 job of a professional designer is to make you feel comfortable inside of your home.” Bailey hopes that not only

have the homeowners enjoyed the collaboration, but that the tour visitors can get inspired for their homes. “People can take away ideas for their own decorating,” she said. The homes are all on or off of Dow Street, between Second Street and the railroad tracks. Participants also can follow the luminaries on Second Street to visit CrossRoads Christian Fellowship, which is sponsoring an open house to celebrate the building’s 100th anniversary. Other downtown locations will be getting in the spirit as well. The Tippecanoe Historical Society will feature their new exhibit “If Tipp Houses Could Talk.” Live music will be heard not only at

the houses, but at the Tipp City Public Library. Also, the restaurants Harrison’s, Coldwater Cafe and Sam & Ethel’s will offer a 10 percent discount to ticket holders. If home visitors are still wondering what to do, or are new to Tipp, Bailey is setting up an informational tent in the middle of Dow Street. “It will be to promote Tipp City as well as to promote the day,” said Bailey, “It all comes back to: this is such a wonderful town.” Christmas in the Village will be from 2-6 p.m. Saturday. Advanced ticket price is $12 each or $20 the day of the tour. Advance tickets can be purchased online at www.downtown-

tippcity.org. They also are available at the following Tipp City businesses: Broadway Hair, Coldwater Cafe;, Clark’s Pharmacy, Harrison’s Restaurant, Tipp City Eye Center, and Tipp Monroe Community Services. Proceeds from this year’s event will support the Tipp City Area Arts Council, Mobile Meals and Heritage Ohio Education. Proceeds from this year’s tour will help these organizations fund projects and continue to provide services to the Miami Valley. Tippecanoe Christmas in the Village is sponsored by Evans Title, Monroe Federal, Prime Lending and RE/MAX Professionals.

While Boehringer said the free open house — which draws between 250-400 people — has grown into an enjoyable holiday tradition for area residents, it

also offers out-of-town visitors a chance to see what the center has to offer. “People can come in and see the exhibits and get familiar with the center if they’ve never been here,” she said.

Obama turning to Biden for help in 3 key states WASHINGTON (AP) — A year from Election Day, Democrats are crafting a campaign strategy for Vice President Joe Biden that targets the big three political battlegrounds: Ohio, Pe n n s y l v a n i a , and Florida, states where Biden might be more of an asset to President Barack Obama’s re-election cam- OBAMA paign than the president himself. The Biden plan underscores an uncomfortable reality for the Obama team. A shaky economy and sagging enthusiasm among Democrats could shrink the electoral map for Obama in

2012, forcing his campaign to depend on carrying the 67 electoral votes up for grabs in the three swing states. Obama won all three states in 2008. But this time he faces challenges in each, particularly in Ohio and Florida, where voters elected Republican governors in the 2010 midterm elections. The president sometimes struggles to connect with Ohio and Pennsylvania’s white working-class voters, and with Jewish voters who make up a core constituency for Florida Democrats and view him with skepticism. Biden has built deep ties to both groups during his four decades in national politics, connections that could make a difference. As a long-serving member of the Senate Foreign

Relations Committee, Biden cemented his reputation as an unyielding supporter of Israel, winning the respect of many in the Jewish community. And Biden’s upbringing in a working class, Catholic family from Scranton, Pa., gives him a valuable political intangible: He empathizes with the struggles of bluecollar Americans because his family lived those struggles. “Talking to blue-collar voters is perhaps his greatest attribute,” said Dan Schnur, a Republican political analyst. “Obama provides the speeches, and Biden provides the blue-collar subtitles.” While Biden’s campaign travel won’t kick into high gear until next year, he’s already been making stops in Ohio, Pennsylvania and Florida this fall, speaking at events focused on education, public safety and small businesses and raising campaign cash.

ANALYSIS

Groups debate name for Mo. tax measure JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — Several groups are debating the wisdom of replacing Missouri’s income tax with an expanded sales tax. Supporters see the proposal as a way to boost the state’s economy; detractors fear an increased burden for the middle and lower classes and decreased state revenue. Besides disagreeing on the idea, they also cannot get together on what to call it. Missouri Taxpayer Relief Act. Everything Tax. Almost Everything Tax. The abundance of labels has arisen this fall ahead of a possible campaign over a ballot measure that could appear before voters next year. State lawmakers, who have considered a similar tax change in recent years, contributed to the monikers by using names such as Fair Tax and Mega Sales Tax.

They call it the Missouri Taxpayer Relief Act. “The name that we have provided for the act is the most appropriate. That’s exactly what it is. It says what it is.” said Anne Marie Moy, a spokeswoman for Let Voters Decide. She said opponents have not presented their own plan for improving Missouri’s economy and that critics seem to be trying to confuse voters. Not so fast, say opponents, who contend the tax changes would decrease the revenue collected by state government and hurt middle and lower class residents. “There’s no relief for taxpayers,” said Scott Charton, a spokesman for the opposition group Missourians for Fair Taxation. “I don’t think it pays relief to taxpayers because it dramatically raises the sales tax. It puts new, higher sales taxes on almost everything Missourians purchase every day.” Missourians for Fair Taxation prefers to call the proposal the Almost Everything Tax. Charton said the ballot measure would call for taxing most of the things that Missourians will buy while exempting other transactions for political reasons.

EDITORIAL ROUNDUP Los Angeles Times on pepper-spraying protesters: Watching University of California-Davis campus police pepper-spraying a line of seated student protesters, the immediate and valid reaction is: What part of nonviolent do these officers not understand? Even if the last major waves of campus protests were a couple of decades ago, quelling student demonstrations without harm and with a minimum of residual outrage should be at the top of university training programs for police staff. … Statements afterward by the police chief, who was placed on leave, and Chancellor Linda Katehi only fueled the anger by appearing to defend the two officers known to have been involved and who previously were placed on leave. While deploring the incident and vowing to investigate thoroughly, Katehi reportedly said the police officers were technically following protocol, though some situations call for not following protocol. She would have been better off sticking with just the first part of her statement.

If the police were indeed following protocol, there might be a serious problem with the protocol itself. … Though Katehi’s original response failed to inspire confidence, she quickly corrected course and is assembling a diverse task force for a 30-day investigation. UC President Mark G. Yudof has ordered an obviously needed review of all university police training. Both resulting reports must set down clear policies for the treatment of nonviolent protesters and stern discipline for those who violate the policy. Loveland (Colo) Daily Reporter-Herald on the Solyndra bankruptcy: A common mantra during the debates about bailing out the financial industry and Detroit automakers was that the federal government was “picking winners and losers,” with the recipients of Washington’s cash being the winners. Unfortunately, the country is finding out the government bet too heavily on losers, too. What remains in question is whether

the cash infusion given by the federal government to promote policy goals was also part of an effort to promote overly political goals, too. At the center of the controversy is the California-based solar technology company Solyndra, which received a federal loan guarantee of $528 million to develop its renewable energy technology and ability to manufacture energy-producing panels. When the loan guarantee was announced, Energy Secretary Steven Chu attended the company’s 2009 groundbreaking. Later, President Barack Obama went on a tour of the company’s headquarters and touted it as a clean energy company upon which future economic growth could occur. … What’s striking is the timing of the announcement of the company’s implosion: Nov. 3, one day after the midterm elections. If company officials delayed — or were asked to delay — their announcement because of the effect it would have on the general elections, such a move would be beyond the pale even in today’s hyper-partisan Washington...

The sexiest or most controversial man alive (Author’s note: The subject of this article is someone who allegedly speaks French — real authors have to use terms like “allegedly” to keep the legal department happy — so a few foreign language interjections will be included to lend this piece the appropriate international air.) Sacre bleu! Apparently there is a beaucoup dust-up because People magazine has declared someone named Bradley Cooper is the sexiest man alive. Quel frommage! as my idol Molly Ivins was wont to say. The sexiest man alive? There are currently around 3.5 billion men in the world. Admittedly, quite a few of them are dogs but by sheer statistical probability alone, a dozen or so have to be real lookers. “Sexiest man” seems like an irresponsible sweeping journalistic statement to make is all I’m saying. A fair portion of the population is saying a lot more than that. Many folks are in an uproar because they feel Ryan Gosling is more deserving of the honor. Seriously… an uproar. Enraged fans of Ryan’s were demonstrating in the streets, lugging placards, marching in circles, and generally expressing their dissatisfaction with the selection process and, if memory serves me correctly, the marital status of

Marla Boone Troy Daily News Columnist the People magazine editorial staff’s ancestors. The next thing you know, there will be an Occupy People movement afoot and we’ll have to endure news coverage of preppies being dragged off by the collars of their J. Crew jackets. But instead of being angry, when I heard that Bradley had been given the nod, my first thought was “Poor David Fong has been passed over again.” My second thought was “Who is Bradley Cooper?” and my third thought was “Who is Ryan Baby Goose?” Not being an entirely television/movie savvy sort of person, I thought for one unsettling moment people were talking about the guy who was married to that shrew named Kate and had eight kids and who was featured on the very worst television show ever and who eventually ended up cheating

on his nasty wife with the nubile baby sitter as we all fully expected he would. Turns out his name is Jon Goslin not Ryan Gosling, but you can see how a video media neophyte such as myself could confuse such a thing. Keeping in mind the short cuts that must have been taken in the “allegedly” (you’re welcome, legal department) ill-advised choosing of Mr. Cooper, I was determined to conduct a thorough process of investigative information gathering. Therefore, I Googled Bradley Cooper. (Real authors are able to compose sentences in which every word correctly begins with a capital letter. Do not try this at home.) No effort is too much when it comes to getting the big story. That’s why we writers make the big bucks. And now I’m going to let you in on the scoop. Mr. Cooper is an actor. He has “ice-blue” eyes. He has a “chiseled jaw,” which must have been intensely painful. He speaks fluent French. This brings to mind another person who was something of a demonstrative sort, who had “ice-blue” eyes, and who spoke really really good French. His name was Charles DeGaulle. And while he is not technically, you know, alive, believe me even when he was

Charles made no one’s short list of sexiest anything. Plus, he wore a funny-looking hat. But here’s the weird thing. Google, Inc. was so kind as to include a full-color picture of Bradley Cooper. No offense intended, but he’s not that good looking. (Insert mental image of Marla ducking items thrown by hard-core fans of Mr. Cooper who have taken a short respite from throwing items at fans of Mr. Gosling. It is possible that fans of Jon and Kate Plus Eight are also throwing things. All four of them.) Oh, he’s certainly pleasant enough looking. He has the prerequisite scruffy beard and lop-sided grin. He reportedly loves his dog and his mother, not necessarily in that order. He was in a movie called “The Hangover” which I did not see but did live through once in my distant past. He was in the cast of “The Hangover II,” as well. Anyone who experiences two hangovers is a slow learner. And now a private note to Mr. Cooper. If hangovers comprise your entire oeuvre, you’re not going to keep those chiseled good looks for long.

OBITUARIES

HELEN F. JOHNSON ST. PARIS — Helen F. Johnson, 91, of St. Paris passed away at 8:50 p.m. Friday, Nov. 25, 2011, in Heartland of Urbana. She was born Oct. 10, 1920, in Wintersville. Helen was the only daughter of the late Clarence Curtis and Harriett (Hyde) Blake. She married Dallas Johnson on March 17, 1938; and he preceded her in death Nov. 15, 1975. She is survived by one son JOHNSON and daughter-in-law, Richard and Loretta Johnson of St. Paris; and a daughter, Mrs. Jerry (Sue) Stevenson of Kingsland, Ga.

Afghan officials: Fire from Pakistan led to attack ISLAMABAD (AP) — Afghanistan officials claimed Sunday that Afghan and NATO forces were retaliating for gunfire from two Pakistani army bases when they called in airstrikes that killed 24 Pakistani soldiers, adding a layer of complexity to an episode that has further strained Pakistan’s ties with the United States. The account challenged Pakistan’s claim that the strikes were unprovoked. The attack Saturday near the AfghanPakistani border aroused popular anger in Pakistan and added tension to the U.S.Pakistani relationship, which has been under pressure since the secret U.S. raid inside Pakistan that killed Osama bin Laden in May. Pakistan has closed its western border to trucks delivering supplies to coalition troops in Afghanistan, demanded that the U.S. abandon an air base inside Pakistan and said it will review its cooperation with the U.S. and NATO. A complete breakdown in the relationship between the United States and Pakistan is considered unlikely. Pakistan relies on billions of dollars in American aid, and the U.S. needs Pakistan to push Afghan insurgents to participate in peace talks. Afghanistan’s assertions about the attack muddy the efforts to determine what happened. The Afghan officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue, said it was unclear who

fired on Afghan and NATO forces, which were conducting a joint operation before dawn Saturday. They said the fire came from the direction of the two Pakistani army posts along the border that were later hit in the airstrikes. NATO has said it is investigating, but it has not questioned the Pakistani claim that 24 soldiers were killed. All airstrikes are approved at a higher command level than the troops on the ground. Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen offered his deepest condolences and said the coalition was committed to working with Pakistan to “avoid such tragedies in the future.” “We have a joint interest in the fight against cross-border terrorism and in ensuring that Afghanistan does not once again become a safe-haven for terrorists,” Rasmussen said in Brussels. NATO officials have complained that insurgents fire from across the poorly defined frontier, often from positions close to Pakistani soldiers, who have been accused of tolerating or supporting them. The U.S. plans its own investigation. Two U.S. senators called Sunday for harder line on Pakistan. Sen. Jon Kyl, R-Ariz., said Pakistan must understand that American aid depends on Pakistani cooperation. Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., said Pakistan’s moves to punish coalition forces for the airstrikes are more evidence that the U.S. should get its troops out of the region.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A deadline set by the city for Occupy Philadelphia to leave the plaza it has occupied for some two months came and went sans scuffles and arrests as police watched nearly 50 demonstrators lock arms and sit at the entrance of Dilworth Plaza. The scene was far different from other, previous encampments in cities elsewhere where pepper spray, tear gas and police action resulted in the decampment of long-situated demonstrators, but Occupy Philadelphia has managed to avoid the mass arrests and conflict that has arisen at other sites nationwide. Sunday night, there was hope that Philadelphia would continue to be largely violence-free. “Right now, we have a peaceful demonstration,” said Philadelphia Police Chief Inspector Joe Sullivan, nearly 45 minutes after the 5 p.m. deadline had come and passed. Along the steps leading into Dilworth Plaza, nearly 50 people sat in lines, their arms linked, refusing to leave. A police presence was unchanged and no orders to leave had been issued. “We can definitely claim a victory,” said Mike Yaroschuk, who was in the process of dismantling his tent. “We’ve opened a lot of minds, hearts and eyes.” Yaroschuk said he was leaving the plaza not because of the city-issued deadline but because of a request by unions whose workers will be involved in the long-planned construction project there in the coming weeks. He said it made more sense to pick and choose when it comes to Occupy and its efforts to draw attention to the 99 percent. “This place is not a key battle for me … This is a marathon, not a sprint,” he

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Talk to your grandson about your concerns Dear Annie: My husband and I are raising our two teenage grandchildren. Our grandson is 15 and recently started going out with a girl. They attend the same school and are Facebook friends. We don't know this girl, but after their first outing to a mall, she posted pictures of them kissing. The following weekend, they went to the movies, and she posted another kissing picture. She posts nonstop on his page about how he's made her life better, and she texts him constantly. We think this is rather disrespectful on both their parts: hers for thinking these are acceptable public displays, and his for thinking we wouldn't care. Our grandson says it's unreasonable for us to limit his phone and text usage with this girl. The other unspeakable thing, apparently, is that we have access to his Facebook account. We were told we're oldfashioned because we want to meet the girl and her parents. This girl's parents don't know or care what she posts. Are we true dinosaurs to think there should be limits for teens and that parents should know what their kids are doing on the Internet? What is reasonable in today's world? We trust our grandson, but we also remember what it was like for us at that age, and we didn't have 24/7 access. I've become the evil ogre because I have taken a stand, and now the girl is posting comments about me, saying that I'm interfering with their relationship. How do I deal with this? — Not on My Watch Dear Not: Teenagers push parents in order to see what the boundaries are. Having no limits creates confusion and insecurity. Embrace your inner ogre. The world can be a dangerous place, and 15-year-olds do not have the best judgment. The Internet makes it likely that your grandson may regret some of what is floating around that he cannot control. It is your job to protect him. Yes, you should have access to his Facebook page (although we don't recommend posting on it), and it's fine to limit his phone privileges because texting costs money. Invite the girl for dinner so you can get to know her. You don't need to meet her parents, but you ought to have a way to contact them. Most importantly, talk to your grandson about your concerns, especially about this girl's aggressive behavior, which is all about her social status, without any concern for him. Dear Annie: It soon will be Christmas. We have four wonderful grandsons in another state, but we are tired of not receiving thank-you notes for gifts. I sent one grandson a present for his 14th birthday, and he never acknowledged it. A week later, I emailed my daughter about it and received a Facebook post "thank you" from him. This is not acceptable. I taught my daughter manners, but I think she's just too lazy to train her children. Do I continue with the gifts? Send a box of thank-you cards? Please help. — Frustrated Grandmother in Florida Dear Grandma: You are not obligated to send gifts to grandchildren who don't acknowledge them, but first explain directly what you expect. A handwritten thank-you note would be lovely, but is less likely to happen. Please allow them to use email to say thank you, and let them know that if you don't hear from them, you will assume they no longer want any gifts from you. Dear Annie: I am responding to "Confused," who was upset that her friend used the name of her deceased father when naming her dog. We adopted a dog from the pound and named it "Alice." We then discovered that our vet's wife's name is Alice. He didn't seem too happy about it and asked why we did that. I don't think you can be expected to please everyone. — Can't Win Annie's Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

HINTS FROM HELOISE

A cup of memories worth remembering Dear Heloise: My mom was quite a collector of teacups. She had a wide circle of friends, and when we were cleaning out her house after her death, we took each of her teacups, wrapped it in a gift bag and presented it to a friend of hers. They were pleased to have a little something to remember her by. It pleased us knowing the teacups would be enjoyed. I kept my mom’s favorite bathrobe. Whenever I put it on, it feels like a warm, motherly hug. — C.K., via email C.K., my condolences on the

Hints from Heloise Columnist loss of your mother, and I’m sure your mother’s friends were quite touched by your kind gesture. Who wouldn’t love a treasured keepsake from a friend or family member? — Heloise E-BOOKS Dear Heloise: My friend

and I both have e-readers and trade them back and forth to keep book purchase costs down. We each pick something we would like to read from one of the best-seller lists and download it to our e-readers — making sure, of course, that we don’t both download the same book. Then, after reading our own selection, we trade e-readers to read what the other person downloaded. It cuts costs about in half. — Ronald Narmi, Alexandria, Va. A lot of us trade books, and this is the next progression with e-books. An e-book (a

book that is on an electronic tablet computer) is certainly handy and lightweight, and the reader can adjust the typeface size to be able to read easily. — Heloise FAST FACTS Dear Readers: New uses for plastic laundry scoops: • Use to hold pot scrubbers near sink. • Use in a plant pot to dig small holes for new plants. • Keep in a bag of birdseed as a scoop. • Use to mix finger paints in for children. • Handy to scoop dog/cat food with. — Heloise

HOROSCOPE Monday, Nov. 28, 2011 In the year ahead, it might not be as important to have a large number of friends as it will be to have a few good, loyal ones. However, even if you intend to keep your friendship circle intimate, remain nice to everybody. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Before launching any new projects, make sure you have finished to your satisfaction everything else on your drawing board. Trouble would ensue if endeavors overlap. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Your chances for achieving a critical objective are minimal at best, because once you attain it, you might not know how to keep it going. Proceed cautiously. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Strive to control any impulsive inclinations you might have. If you’re undisciplined, it is highly likely that you will repeat some previous mistakes. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — If there is a lack of harmony regarding ultimate aims, joint ventures aren’t likely to work out too well for you. Before making any moves, make sure everyone is in accord. ARIES (March 21-April 19) — Conditions are ripe for establishing a friendship with someone who up until now has always opposed you. Don’t miss this opportunity, because you may never get another chance to do so. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Use your resources wisely, be they people or things, and you’ll be effective in your efforts to be successful. If you don’t, you can count on frequent failures. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — Things could get a bit awkward for you when a friend unwittingly brings along someone whom you intensely dislike. It’s to your advantage not to do or say anything you’ll regret. CANCER (June 21-July 22) — Be sure you have the approval of the entire clan if you’re contemplating making a change that would affect everybody. If you don’t, your efforts could meet with condemnation. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Don’t pretend to know what you’re doing if you are placed in a position where it’s up to you to approve or disapprove certain procedures. Don’t be afraid to seek experienced counsel. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Although your financial possibilities look good, your spending habits might negate anything extra you make. What you gain could totally dissipate before your eyes. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — When you’re free to operate as you choose, success is likely, but if you feel hampered, it could be another story. Be wary of getting yourself in involvements that impede your independence. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — There’s a chance that you could be inclined to talk about things that should be kept confidential. If misquoted and taken out of context, it could cause trouble.

TODAY IN HISTORY (AP) — Today is Monday, Nov. 28, the 332nd day of 2011. There are 33 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Nov. 28, 1961, President John F. Kennedy dedicated the original permanent headquarters of the Central Intelligence Agency in Langley, Va. On this date: • In 1520, Portuguese navigator Ferdinand Magellan reached the Pacific Ocean after

passing through the South American strait that now bears his name. • In 1861, the Confederate Congress admitted Missouri as the 12th state of the Confederacy after Missouri’s disputed secession from the Union. • In 1885, at the end of the Third Anglo-Burmese War, British troops occupied Mandalay. • In 1905, Sinn Fein was founded in Dublin.

• In 1942, nearly 500 people died in a fire that destroyed the Cocoanut Grove nightclub in Boston. • In 1958, Chad, Gabon and Middle Congo became autonomous republics within the French community. • Today’s Birthdays: Recording executive Berry Gordy Jr. is 82. Former Sen. Gary Hart, D-Colo., is 75. Singer-songwriter Bruce Channel is 71. Singer Randy Newman is 68.

Retailers have a robust start to holiday season (AP) — More Americans hunted for bargains over the weekend than ever before as retailers lured them online and into stores with big discounts and an earlier-than-usual start to the holiday shopping season. A record 226 million shoppers visited stores and websites during the four-day holiday weekend starting on Thanksgiving Day, up from 212 million last year, according to early estimates by The National Retail Federation released on Sunday. Americans spent more, too: The average holiday shopper spent $398.62 over the weekend, up from $365.34 a year ago. Art and Anna Destrada from Port Chester, N. Y., were among the holiday shoppers. They started shopping on Thanksgiving evening at a Walmart store, went to various malls in New Jersey on Friday, and got some deals at Macy’s on Saturday. They spent a total of $2,000 on gifts for themselves and others, including a Wii videogame console, clothing and jewelry. “We’ve saved for Christmas and put away money all year,” says Anna Destrada, 49. “We stayed within our means so we can make a few splurges.” The results for the first holiday shop-

ping weekend show that retailers’ efforts to lure shoppers during the weak economy are working. Some like Wal-Mart Stores Inc. and J.C. Penney have been making a stronger push online to better compete with the likes of rival Amazon.com. And major chains like Macy’s, Target, Best Buy extended the traditional start to the shopping season by opening their doors at midnight on Thanksgiving evening instead of the predawn Friday hours of years past. But the question remains whether retailers’ will be able to hold shoppers’ attention throughout the remainder of the season, which can account for 25 to 40 percent of a merchant’s annual revenue. After all, Americans are still very driven by deep discounting and they’re more conscious of their spending budgets. Overall, holiday spending is expected to grow by a modest 2.8 percent to about $466 billion, according to the NRF. A fuller picture on spending will come Thursday when major retailers report their November sales figures.

tecture are subject to criticism and study as people decide whether or not they like them. Visual art is like food — it’s entirely possible to dislike a certain piece of “good” art. Vietnam Memorial When the Vietnam Veterans Memorial opened on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., in 1982, it was not popular with everyone. In fact, some

people disliked it a great deal. It is a simple, V-shaped wall of black granite built into the earth. It bears the names of the 58,000 Americans who were killed or went missing in the war. As you walk along it, the wall of names grows taller and taller, and you can see yourself reflected in the black stone as you read. As you walk along the second leg of the “V,” the wall gets smaller and smaller and smaller and you find yourself back on the Mall, headed to a massive white monument (either the Washington Monument or the Lincoln Memorial). Some veterans and civilians felt that the memorial didn’t properly honor the sacrifices of those who had served. It was too dark, stark, ominous, they said, and unlike its classical neighbors on the Mall. But soon, the simple emotional beauty of this piece of public art made it more visited than any of its neighbors. Its form reflects the nature of the war itself — starting small, growing huge and then winding down. People still leave flowers, letters and personal mementos there to pay their respects to those who served.

What is art?

Did You Know?

Art is created for many reasons. Artists create works of art to: • Make us feel an emotion • To tell a story • Make a point • Awaken our senses Art includes paintings, photographs, sculpture, movies, plays, music, dance, fashion, books, poetry and design. Talk about art you have seen in these different categories. What kinds of art do you and your family enjoy? What kinds would you like to discover or learn more about? Take a look at visual arts. Visual artists make many, many choices. Some might include: What should be shown? Should it look realistic or not? Should it be real or imagined? What colors, shapes and textures should be used? Though these two sculptures are from different artists from different cultures and eras, they seem to show the same thing: a person deep in thought.

Rodin’s “Thinker”

Art can be beautiful. Art can be frightening. Art can be provocative. Art can tell a story. Art can lighten our mood or make us feel better. Art can make us think. Art can change our lives.

Artful Things To Do Van Gogh’s “Starry Night”

What is the mood of the painting? Is it scary? Sad? Joyful? Wondrous? Comforting? Disorienting? Hot? Cold? Do different parts of the painting make you feel different ways?

Renoir’s “Luncheon of the Boating Party”

“The Thinker of Cernavoda”

Study the two sculptures. Look closely at the shapes and how the artists present the figures. How are they similar? How are they different? “The Thinker of Cernavoda” is a fired-clay sculpture found in the European country of Romania. It’s thought to be about 7,000 years old. Auguste Rodin’s bronze and marble “The Thinker” was first seen publicly in 1902, in Paris, France. Does this information surprise you in any way? Why or why not? Art makes us feel good. Vincent Van Gogh only sold one painting during his lifetime (1853-1890), but now he is one of the most famous painters of all. Study his “Starry Night” for a few minutes. Does it show a still moment or does it seem to be moving? Why?

Art tells stories. Meet an Odd Boating party. Pierre Auguste Renoir’s “Luncheon of the Boating Party” tells a story that doesn’t quite connect. Study if for a moment. What sort of day are the boaters having? Is it a warm day? Are these people formal or informal with each other? What is the mood of the painting? Now, look at the man with his back to us in the center of the picture. At whom does he appear to be looking? At whom is his companion looking? Continue to following the path of looks of the people in the picture. Where does this path end up? Only two characters are actually looking at each other. Who are they?

Staff Reports The Troy Trojans finished off a Frozen Creek Tournament sweep Sunday morning at Kettering Rec Center, beating host Beavercreek 3-1 — in a game that wasn’t as close as the score indicates — to win the tournament championship.

KETTERING Troy outshot Beavercreek 45-8 in the game. “We pretty much dominated play the whole game,” Troy coach Larrell Walters said. “Their goalkeeper played a great game.” After three wins to open the tournament led by its freshmen, it was Troy’s seniors that led the way against the Beavers. Derrick Bark scored a breakaway goal in the first period, then Sean Clawson stole the puck in Beavercreek’s end and stuck it home in the second. Nick Usserman capped things off in the third, scoring on a feed from Logan Tiderington. “We played pretty solid defense and kept up the pressure on their goalkeeper,” Walters said. Troy (4-0) plays Friday at Chiller North against Thomas Worthington.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver A.J. Green (18) is pushed out of bounds short of the goal line by Cleveland Browns cornerback Joe Haden (23) on a 51-yard reception during the final minute of the fourth quarter Sunday in Cincinnati.

He did it again Green’s 51-yard catch helps Bengals edge Browns CINCINNATI (AP) — A.J. Green’s bruised knee kept him on the sideline for the final minutes of Cincinnati’s past two games, when the Bengals came up just short against AFC North rivals. Finally up-and-running on Sunday, the rookie receiver made all the difference in the final minute. Green made a leaping catch across the middle of the field and kept going for a 51-yard play, setting up a field goal that rallied the Cincinnati Bengals to a 23-20 victory over selfdestructive Cleveland. The surprising Bengals (7-4) stayed right behind Baltimore and Pittsburgh in the AFC North with another second-half comeback forged by their rookie big-play combination. “I like my chances with A.J.,”

rookie quarterback Andy Dalton said. “You just put it around him and he makes plays. He’s a special player.” The Browns blitzed on thirdand-8, and Dalton threw it down the middle just before he got hit. Green adjusted, leaped high above cornerback Joe Haden for the catch at the 30-yard line, then kept going until he was pushed out at the 2. “That’s why he was the fourth pick in the draft,” coach Marvin Lewis said. “He’s the best first-round draft pick I’ve ever been around. He continues to amaze me. He’s a phenomenal athlete.” The Browns (4-7) forced Cincinnati to settle for Mike Nugent’s 26-yard field goal with 38 seconds left, the Bengals’ first lead of the game. Cleveland’s last possession went

nowhere. Cincinnati’s turnaround season started in Cleveland, where the Browns failed to line up promptly and were surprised by a quick snap that led to Green’s uncontested 41-yard touchdown catch. That one was easy. This one was amazing. “I did play basketball when I was younger,” Green said. “It’s like rebounding. A lot of it just timing and going up strong.” Green’s game-turning play gave him 110 yards against the Browns, who along with the Steelers had been the only teams in the NFL that hadn’t allowed a 100-yard receiving game. “It was an amazing catch that won the game for them,”

England’s Ian Poulter and Justin Rose (63) and Germany’s Martin Kaymer and Alex Cejka (69) tied for second.

■ CONTINUED FROM 14 Browns quarterback Colt McCoy said. And a gut-wrenching gaffe set it up. For the second time in three games, a botched snap cost Cleveland an opportunity to take a late lead. Phil Dawson was well short on a 55-yard try with 1:51 left after the snap skipped along the ground. Dawson had already connected from 32 and 54 yards, his longest field goal of the season. On this one, he never had a chance. Only weeks earlier, the Browns had the same thing happen. A bad snap caused Dawson to miss a 22-yard kick with 2:13 left, allowing St. Louis to close out a 13-12 win in Cleveland. “It was a very bad snap,” long snapper Ryan Pontbriand said. “I’m in a pretty tough slump right now.” It was a familiar outcome for the intrastate rivalry Cincinnati has won 12 of the past 15 games and six of seven at Paul Brown Stadium. Only 48,260 showed up at the 65,500-seat stadium to see a game decided by the bad snap and the great catch. Cleveland was buoyed by the return of running

He was 21 of 31 for 270 yards and his 16th touchdown pass of the season, topping Greg Cook for the Bengals rookie record. Cedric Benson carried 21 times for 106 yards, his second 100-yard game against the Browns. McCoy was 16 of 34 for 151 yards with a pair of touchdowns.

hold off the winless Indianapolis Colts 27-19. FALCONS 24, VIKINGS 14 ATLANTA — Matt Ryan tossed three touchdown passes and Atlanta held on again. The Falcons (7-4) were up 17-0 at halftime after allowing just 97 yards. But, mimicking the previous closer-thanweek’s necessary victory over Tennessee, they let Minnesota (2-9) back in the game. TEXANS 20, JAGUARS 13 JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Matt Leinart injured his throwing shoulder, overshadowing Houston’s victory against the offensively inept Jaguars. Arian Foster ran for 65 yards and a score, Leinart delivered a perfect touchdown pass to Joel Dreessen before leaving the game and the Texans (8-3) sacked Blaine Gabbert six times. It was good enough for their fifth consecutive win, which moved Houston a little closer to clinching the AFC South. JETS 28, BILLS 24 EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Mark Sanchez threw four touchdown passes, including the winning score to Santonio Holmes with just over a minute remaining.

With the Jets trailing 24-21 and facing a thirdand-11 from the Bills 36, Sanchez connected with Plaxico Burress, who made an impressive one-handed grab for the first down. Sanchez quickly ran a quarterback sneak and then, on the next play, rolled out to his right to buy some time and found Holmes alone in the right corner of the end zone to give the Jets the lead with 1:01 left. CARDINALS 23, RAMS 20 ST. LOUIS — Patrick Peterson tied the NFL record with his fourth punt return for a touchdown this season, Beanie Wells set a franchise mark with 228 yards rushing, and Arizona won its seventh in a row in St. Louis. Wells averaged 8.4 yards per carry on a career day that included gains of 71 and 53 yards. The latter set up Jay Feely’s go-ahead 22-yard field goal with 4:12 remaining. TITANS 23, BUCCANEERS 17 NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Chris Johnson ran for a season-high 190 yards, Matt Hasselbeck threw a 2-yard touchdown pass to Damian Williams on fourth-and-2 with 3:01 left, helping the Titans to a 2317 win over the Buccaneers.

No. 17 Pitt coasts past Robert Morris PITTSBURGH (AP) — Ashton Gibbs scored 21 points and Cameron Wright added a career-high 13 as No. 17 Pittsburgh rolled past Robert Morris 81-71 on Sunday. The Panthers (5-1) won their third straight by shooting 55 percent from the field in the first half and playing with a defensive intensity they have lacked at times early in the season. No. 21 Missouri 88, Binghamton 59 COLUMBIA, Mo. — Kim English scored a careerhigh 29 points and No. 21 Missouri rolled to an 88-59 victory over winless Binghamton on Sunday.

The Big 12’s leading 3point shooter hit 7 of 10 from behind the arc. His six 3s and 22 first-half points helped Missouri (6-0) to a 49-31 lead. Ben Dickinson led Binghamton (0-5) with 15 points. No. 24 Miss. State 82, North Texas 59 STARKVILLE, Miss. — Arnett Moultrie scored 20 points and Dee Bost added 18 for the Bulldogs, who took a 30-10 lead in the first 10 minutes and were never challenged. They shot 63.3 percent from the field in the first half and 51.9 percent for the game.

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Kevin Dillard had 19 points, Chris Johnson added 18 and Dayton hit 12 3-pointers as the Flyers rode a hot-shooting performance to an 86-70 Old Spice Classic championship game victory over Minnesota on Sunday night. The Flyers (5-1) connected on 12 of their 27 3point attempts and shot 46 percent overall (28 of 60). Minnesota (6-1) played the final 17 minutes without leading scorer and rebounder Trevor Mbakwe, who left the game after sustaining a right leg injury. Without his defensive presence underneath, the Flyers exploited the middle of the floor both in their half-court sets and in transition. The Golden Gophers tried to make up for Mbakwe's absence with its own outside shooting, but connected on only 7 of their 18 attempts. Austin Hollins led the Golden Gophers, who suffered their first loss of the season, with 14 points. Julian Welch chipped in 12 for Minnesota. Bowling Green 67, Temple 64

Fine fired by Syracuse amidst scandal Blue Jackets lose SYRACUSE, N.Y. (AP) — Bernie Fine was fired Sunday by Syracuse University after a third man accused the assistant basketball coach of molesting him when he was a child. “At the direction of Chancellor Cantor, Bernie Fine’s employment with Syracuse University has been terminated, effective immediately,” Kevin Quinn, the school’s senior vice president for public affairs, said in a statement. The 65-year-old Fine was in his 36th season at his alma mater. He had the longest active streak of consecutive seasons at one school among assistant coaches in Division I. Zach Tomaselli, 23, of Lewiston, Maine, said

Sunday that he told police that Fine molested him in 2002 in a Pittsburgh hotel room. He said Fine touched him “multiple” times in that one incident. He was the third accuser to FINE come forward in the investigation of child molestation allegations against Fine, who was put on paid administrative leave when accusations first surfaced. Two former Syracuse ball boys were the first to accuse Fine, who has called the allegations “patently false.” Tomaselli, who faces sexual assault charges in Maine involving a 14-year-

old boy, said during a telephone interview with The Associated Press that he signed an affidavit accusing Fine following a meeting with Syracuse police last week in Albany. To m a s e l l i ’s father, meanwhile, maintains his son is lying. Bobby Davis, now 39, told ESPN that Fine molested him beginning in 1984 and that the sexual contact continued until he was around 27. A ball boy for six years, Davis told ESPN that the abuse occurred at Fine’s home, at Syracuse basketball facilities and on team road trips, including the 1987 Final

Four. Davis’ stepbrother, Mike Lang, 45, who also was a ball boy, told ESPN that Fine began molesting him while he was in fifth or sixth grade. No one answered the door at the Fine home Sunday. Earlier in the day, his attorneys released a statement saying Fine would not comment beyond his initial statement. “Any comment from him would only invite and perpetuate ancient and suspect claims,” attorneys Donald Martin and Karl Sleight said. “Mr. Fine remains hopeful of a credible and expeditious review of the relevant issues by law enforcement authorities.”

COLUMBUS (AP) — David Backes scored a power-play goal in the third period to lift the St. Louis Blues past the Columbus Blue Jackets 2-1 on Sunday night, giving coach Ken Hitchcock the win in his first game against his former club. Hitchcock, the winningest coach all-time for Columbus, guided the Blue Jackets to their only playoff berth in 2009 before being fired a season later. Kris Russell, who traded from the Blue Jackets earlier this month, also scored to help St. Louis improve to 71-2 since Hitchcock replaced Davis Payne on Nov. 6. Brian Elliott made 23 saves for the Blues to move to 10-1-0 this season.

Derek Dorsett scored, Curtis Sanford made 27 saves losing for the first time in six starts and Columbus had its fivegame points streak snapped. Tied 1-all entering the final period, the Blues’ league-worst power play came through at 7:49. T.J. Oshie flicked a backhand pass from the left edge of the crease to a wide-open Backes for his ninth goal of the season. It was St. Louis’ first man-advantage tally in six games. Columbus had plenty of chances throughout, including a power play of its own just a few minutes later, but a hooking penalty by Fedor Tyutin his third minor infraction of the game negated the opportunity.
