Baker seeks re-election Seeks third term as council president

Some school groups plant trees, dedicate monuments or memorials or even bury time capsules as a way to leave their mark during their school years.

Miami East Junior High and High School students want to leave something even bigger behind — a legacy of positive attitudes and kindness like Rachel Joy Scott.

Under the direction of motivational speaker Frank Simmons, more than 500 students took part in the Rachel’s Legacy and Rachel’s Challenge programs Wednesday.

Rachel’s Challenge is a series of student empowerment programs and strategies that equip students and adults to combat bullying and alleviate feelings of isolation and despair by creating a culture of kindness and compassion.

The programs are based on the writings and life of 17 year-old Rachel Scott, who was the first student

Council must work as a group to consider the longterm effects for the city of Troy, she said.

“Any legislation that raises the cost for residents is met with resistance from the people. Our goal is to look at the long-term and not have tunnel vision or be narrowminded,” she said. “It’s difficult to do that and still make the people happy.”

The council president, like council members, must pay the same fees as any other Troy resident. Thus, Baker said they understand the importance of balancing the budget and avoiding extra costs, if possible.

“We’re working within a budget and trying to be conservative,” she said.

• CONTINUED FROM 1 Abbas, the U.N. bid is a lastditch attempt to stay relevant as a leader after years of failed peace talks with Israel, at a time when his Islamic militant Hamas rivals are gaining ground.

The U.S. and Israel have tried to block the quest for U.N. recognition of Palestine, saying it’s an attempt to bypass IsraeliPalestinian negotiations that broke down four years ago.

The U.S. deputy secretary of state, William Burns, met with Abbas in New York on Wednesday, asking Abbas again to drop the idea and promising that President Barack Obama would reengage as a mediator in 2013, said Abbas aide Saeb Erekat. Abbas told Burns it was too late.

Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said U.N. recognition of an independent Palestine won’t help to reach a lasting twostate peace agreement and stressed that the “path to a two-state solution that fulfills the aspirations of the Palestinian people is through Jerusalem and Ramallah, not New York.”

Israel, meanwhile, appeared to back away from threats of drastic measures if the Palestinians get U.N. approval, with officials suggesting the government

reminder to be kind to others.

“You can do something every day for a chain reaction,” Chappie said. “I could give compliments to kids who feel down.”

Finkes said much of the program’s message also will carry on through the Chain Links Club at Miami East Junior High and the Pride in M.E. Miami East Junior High School Principal Allen Mack said the school’s priority is always academics, but all teachers and staff realize there’s a lot happening in their students’ world.

“We know there’s a lot going on in their lives besides book work,” Mack said. “Rachel’s Challenge stands for kindness and compassion and to look at the other side of the problems.

It’s all things they can do to help things to be better not only a school, but at home, and in the community as well.”

The programs were funded entirely by grants from both the Miami County Foundation and the Troy Foundation.

would take steps only if the Palestinians use their new status to act against Israel.

The Palestinians say they need U.N. recognition of a Palestinian state in the West Bank, Gaza and east Jerusalem, the lands Israel captured in 1967, to be able to resume negotiations with Israel.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s predecessors accepted the 1967 lines as a basis for border talks, with modifications to be negotiated, including land swaps that would enable Israel to annex some of the largest Jewish settlements. Those talks did not produce a deal, and the sides remained apart on other key issues.

Netanyahu rejects the 1967 lines as starting point while pressing ahead with settlement construction, leaving Abbas little incentive to resume negotiations.

Israel goes to elections in January, and polls indicate Netanyahu has a strong chance of winning.

Israel argues that Abbas is trying to dictate the outcome of border talks by going to the U.N., though the recognition request presented to the world body calls for a quick resumption of negotiations on all core issues of the conflict, including borders.

It’s not clear if negotiations could resume even if

Obama, freed from the constraints of his re-election campaign, can turn his attention to the Mideast conflict.

Abbas aides have given conflicting accounts of whether Abbas, once armed with global backing for the 1967 borders, will return to negotiations without an Israeli settlement freeze.

About half a million Israelis have settled on war-won land. A construction stop is unlikely, even more so after hawks in Netanyahu’s Likud Party scored major gains in primaries this week.

Israel has said it is willing to resume talks without preconditions.

Government spokesman Mark Regev affirmed the position on Wednesday.

Regev said that by going to the U.N., the Palestinians violate “both the spirit and the word of signed agreements to solve issues through negotiations.”

Palestinian officials countered that their historic U.N. bid is meant to salvage a peace deal they say is being sabotaged by Israeli settlement expansion. “It is a last-ditch effort because we believe the two-state solution is in jeopardy as a result of these actions,” Hanan Ashrawi, a senior Palestinian official, told reporters in Ramallah on Wednesday.

Miami East High School senior Christine Bowling, 17, said the Rachel’s Challenge program impacted her life for the better two years ago and the Legacy program gave her more food for thought.

“I definitely want to help people out more than I used to,” said Bowling, adding that she now hopes to build people up when she sees them struggling, even if it is as simple as leaving a positive message to let them know she is thinking of them and hopes they are doing well. “I’ll just leave them a message to let them know I’m thinking about them.”

Sophomore Krissi Harper said she really liked how much of the Legacy program focused on how to sympathize with the behavior of bullies and to combat it with kindness.

“Bullies are going to be a problem in everyday life,” Harper said.

“I know what it’s like to be picked on and to be the one picking on somebody, too. I liked the message of a positive attitude and the chain reaction. It really was inspiring.”

Artists unite against hunger in the county MIAMI COUNTY — Miami County artists, cooperating with Ohio Northern University, Piqua Arts Council, Troy Arts Council, Edison Community College and the art students of most high schools in Miami County have started a project to raise money to assist programs that feed children in Miami County. The project, called Artists Against Hunger, runs a series of events to raise money to assist in the fight against hunger.

It is estimated that one in five children in Miami County suffer from hunger.

This figure parallels national trends, but in some areas of Miami County the figures are much higher. While participation is free and reduced lunches is not the only indicator of who is in need, it is one test commonly used to measure the problem. Thirty four percent of Miami County students receive free or reduced lunches, with a little more than half receiving free lunches. Some schools provide free breakfasts as well, but not all. In order to receive free lunches, students must show that their families make no more than 180 percent of the Federal Poverty Line.

Many students’ families do not want to divulge to local school administrators their financial difficulties to save their children embarrassment. Some school districts have as much as 55 percent of their student body on free or reduced lunches.

UPCOMING EVENTS: • Troy Christian High School will host AAH from 5-8 p.m. Saturday at the school.

• Hoffman United Methodist Church, West Milton, from 5-8 p.m. Dec. 11.

• Z’s Grill and Banquet in Piqua will host an event from 5-8 p.m. Dec. 14, in conjunction with the Piqua Art Council’s Art Walk.

• Miami East activities and more are planned for early next year.

There are programs that provide shoes, coats and even meals. This has both positive and negative impact. Students may get needed shoes and coats, and it may seem that since they are dressed adequately, they don’t have a hunger problem. On the other hand, agencies that provide for children’s needs do not enough resources to meet the needs of everyone.

Most food assistance programs limit recipients to one assist per month, or one per two months. Most soup kitchens do not operate daily. Many are open only weekly.

Artists Against Hunger’s program was started by Mayumi Kiefer, a current employee of Troy City Schools, while attending Ohio Northern University’s Department of Art and Design for a bachelor of fine arts degree. The founding chapter in Hardin County just finished its

third annual fundraising event.

“Now that I am back full-time in Miami County, I see too many hungry children at school, and feel it is time to step up and do something about it,” Kiefer said. “The local agencies do what they can, but they need help. They simply can’t meet everyone’s needs.”

Artists AgainstHunger has no paid staff, and all expenses are covered by donations from the public.

One hundred percent of proceeds are donated to agencies that serve kids in that area. The Artists Against Hunger programs utilizes the talents of professional and student ceramic artists from around Miami County.

They have made hundreds of one-of-a-kind ceramic bowls.

“For a minimum donation of $10, those who attend can own lasting ceramic treasures,” Kiefer said. “Patrons fill their bowls with donated soup and enjoy pizza, breads, sandwiches, cheese, desserts and beverages at no additional cost.”

The public is invited, and there is no obligation to buy a ceramic bowl. The meals are free.

Question: Do you plan on spending more on Christmas this year than last year?

PERSPECTIVE

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

— First Amendment, U.S. Constitution

EDITORIAL Los Angeles Times on fog of politics on Benghazi: Some Republicans aren’t giving up on the claim Mitt Romney floated in the second presidential debate: that the Obama administration, for political reasons, downplayed the possibility that the deadly attack on a U.S. facility in Libya in September was a well-planned terrorist operation.

Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) has suggested that Susan Rice, the U.S. representative to the United Nations, is “not qualified” to serve as secretary of State because, in television interviews five days after the attack, she said that “the best assessment we have today” is that the attack in Benghazi began as a spontaneous response to earlier protests at the U.S. Embassy in Cairo related to the video “Innocence of Muslims.”

If the fog of war obscured what actually happened at Benghazi on Sept. 11 — even now, investigators are trying to reconstruct the events that led to the deaths of Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens and three other Americans — then the fog of politics continues to distort the picture of how and why the administration characterized the events the way it did. Most of the obfuscation has come from Republicans. ..

Should the talking points have included that information?

Both Rice’s comments and the talking points on which they were based apparently erred in portraying the attack in Benghazi as a spontaneous reaction to the protests in Cairo. But the charge that she knowingly misled her interviewers or the country is, as President Obama rightly said at his news conference last week, outrageous and utterly unsupported by any evidence.

On a recent “Face the Nation,” McCain suggested that Rice might return to his good graces “by publicly coming back on this show and saying, ‘I was wrong, I gave the wrong information on your show some several weeks ago.’ That might be a beginning.” No, the beginning would be for the senator to apologize to the ambassador.

Dallas Morning News on breaking the Middle East war cycle: We won’t spend too much space here calling for a cease-fire between Israel and Hamas. Officials from Egypt, Turkey, Qatar, Britain, the U.S. and the United Nations already are working on a truce with an urgency that reflects the very high stakes if fighting escalates into an Israeli ground invasion of Gaza. The fuse keeps burning shorter atop the Middle East powder keg. So, yes: Cease fire now.

Israel and its neighbors have been through six wars and countless armed altercations since 1948. Each time, the world unites in calling for peace. The warring parties stand down. But over time, tensions resurface, tit-for-tat attacks resume, and eventually, another war is in full bloom.

The point is, for decades, Middle East enemies have been locked in a basic argument over who committed which egregious act of aggression first. Ask Israel, and the finger points to its neighbors. Ask the Arabs, and the blame goes back to Israel. Historical evidence supports aspects of both arguments.

The solution is not just to negotiate another cease-fire; it’s to break this cycle.

Of course that’s easier said than done, but that doesn’t mean it’s impossible. Egypt and Jordan recognized long ago that the cycle couldn’t continue because the cost of continually going to war was too great. They negotiated imperfect peace treaties that didn’t come close to redressing theirs or Israel’s historical grievances, but they did so acknowledging that the cycle had to stop.

Recall that the Palestine Liberation Organization, just like Hamas today, used to voice its grievances by constantly lobbing Katyusha rockets into Israel from southern Lebanon — until Israel silenced them for good with its 1982 invasion of Lebanon. …

Breaking the cycle requires a mutual acceptance that no one will win and that serious compromise among sworn enemies is the only route to peace.

This medicine leaves a bitter aftertaste. But it’s the only medicine that works.

DOONESBURY

Leave the kids alone when they are playing games The “game” I was watching had no rules, no structure and no scoring — but appeared to be all fun.

So of course an adult had to come and ruin it.

Last week I was running laps around the track at the Robinson Branch of the Miami County YMCA. Below me, roughly 10 junior high kids were playing a game that loosely resembled basketball. The object of the game appeared to be to get the ball through the hoop, but how they went about achieving that goal didn’t seem to matter much.

There was plenty of traveling, behind-the-back passes and nolook shots. There also was plenty of laughing and general merriment.

Then an adult stepped in, bringing a quick halt to the proceedings.

“Hey,” said the guy. “Let’s get a game together.”

Naturally, I was flummoxed as to why a middle-aged man would want to compete in a basketball game with a bunch of junior high school kids, but I gave him the benefit of the doubt. As I continued my jaunt around the track, I saw him divide the kids up into two teams and establish a full-court game.

David Fong Troy Daily News Executive Editor He quickly pointed out rules that needed to be adhered to. He even started coaching (badly, I might add), trying to get the kids to run set plays and telling the kids on his team whom they should be guarding while on defense.

I also saw all of the smiles I had witnessed just moments before disappear instantly.

This isn’t meant to be a screed against organized team sports — far from it, actually. As someone who spent 10 years as a sports writer, I’ve seen the value of team sports. They teach organization, time management and teamwork. Heck, my kid is a poster child for organized sports and activities. Between her competitive gymnastics team and her spot on the Troy Pop Rocks jump rope team, she spends 17 hours per week in one form of

— De Ann Osterman, Heather Pfenning and Denise Ware

practice or another, not to mention the hours she spends in competitions and performances every year.

However, there’s a time and place for everything.

The minute she’s out of practice, my daughter doesn’t have to think about jump rope or gymnastics any more than she wants to. Sometimes she wants to practice on her own (trust me, she gets it from her mother) — and that’s perfectly fine. It’s not mandatory. If she wants to skip rope in our driveway, she’s more than welcome — we aren’t out there critiquing her routine. If she wants to turn cartwheels and somersaults in our family room, she can do so knowing my wife and I won’t be holding up scorecards (if we ever did, Michelle would score much tougher than I would — she’s the mean one).

In any event, the point is this: Organized sports are important to a child’s development. There’s nothing wrong with them. But at some point, it’s also fine to let kids play by themselves. Let them love the game. Let them shoot hoops by themselves without correcting their shooting form. Let them grab their baseball mitts and go play catch with a buddy. Every kid should spend

an afternoon tossing around a football with no parents watching them and telling them what plays they should run.

I’ve seen what happens to kids who are around overbearing sports parents too much.

Invariably, they get burned out.

They learn to hate the sport. For the parents who insist on pushing their kids relentlessly in organized sports, I have a shocking revelation — chances are your kid won’t be going pro.

In fact, some experts would argue there’s a better chance your kid will go pro the more you leave them alone. Ever wonder why so many great soccer players come from Latin America?

It’s not because their parents put them on select teams when they are in the second grade. Select teams, in fact, are nearly nonexistant in most other countries.

It’s because they grow up playing soccer for the pure love of the game.

So please, meddling adults, leave the pick-up games to the kids — and leave me with some sanity while running laps.

OBITUARIES

VIOLET MAXINE VORPE TROY — Violet Maxine Vorpe, 79, of Troy, Ohio, went home to be with her Lord and Savior on Tuesday, Nov. 27, 2012.

She was born Nov. 30, 1932, in Morehead, Ky., to the late Trubie and Melva (Skaggs) Jones.

She leaves behind her loving husband, George Vorpe Jr.; devoted VORPE daughter, Kim Conley and beloved grandson, Garrett; and her son, Donald Hodgson Jr., and his family. She also is survived by her step daughter, Melissa Goonan, and step grandchildren, Trevor, Sarah and Courtney. Along with her family, she will be greatly missed by her faithful companion, Cocoa, her Yorkie that brought much joy into her life.

In addition to her parents, Violet was preceded in death by a brother,

Raymond Jones; and sister, Vivian Meggs.

She leaves behind four sisters and brothers-in-law, Mabel (Jerry) Caldwell, Virginia (Dwight) Black, her twin, Viola (Myron) Potts, and Dorothy (Gene) Campbell; and many nieces, nephews and cousins.

Violet was a born-again Christian and a member of Troy Baptist Temple where she loved to sing, play the piano, work in the junior camp kitchen and socialize with the Silver Stars group.

She retired from Macy’s in Springfield where she worked for many years prior to losing her vision.

One of Violet’s greatest achievements was receiving her high school diploma at the age of 75. Violet quit school in 1945 and had always regretted that

decision.

After she lost her vision, she was introduced to the Hadley School for the Blind in Chicago. She was able to take audio and Braille courses and finished the required courses to allow her to graduate.

She was handed her diploma from the president of the Hadley School for the Blind in a graduation ceremony held at Troy Baptist Temple in 2007.

Services will be at 1 p.m.

Saturday, Dec. 1, 2012, at Troy Baptist Temple with Pastor David Mulvaine officiating. Interment will follow in Riverside Cemetery, Troy. Friends may call from 11 a.m. t 1 p.m. Saturday at the church.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Wife must be transparent if she hopes to rebuild your trust Dear Annie: A few months ago, I discovered that my wife was having an affair with her boss.

She works for a small company that requires long hours and some traveling.

When I confronted her, she didn't deny it. When I asked her why, she said it was all the long hours, traveling and a little drinking that made it happen. She took full responsibility. She claims she doesn't love him, it was a mistake and it will never happen again.

I confronted her boss, who is also married with grown kids and grandchildren. He, too, said it was a mistake and that in his 30 years in business, nothing like that had ever happened before. He said he loves his wife and family and feels terrible, and acknowledged that sleeping with an employee is unethical and immoral. He insisted he would do everything he could to rebuild my trust.

I chose to forgive both of them, but for months now I have not been able to enjoy my life. My wife continues to work for this company, and all the conditions that existed before are still there.

My wife doesn't understand why I am so suspicious or why I don't want her to travel with him. They both reassure me that nothing is going on, but it's hard to believe.

They are constantly on the phone, sending emails or texting. She insists it is all work related, but all of her electronic devices have codes, and she refuses to let me see anything.

Am I being played for a fool?

I've been in therapy and will continue. While it's helping me deal with my feelings and moods, the therapist can't tell me whether or not to stay with my wife. What do you think? — Need Some Help, Please Dear Need: Ideally, your wife would quit her job or at least refuse to travel with this man.

But if the job is a necessity, she needs to be completely transparent in all dealings with her boss.

You should be able to look at her text messages and emails and even listen to her phone conversations. If she insists on keeping things from you, it means she has something to hide. Sorry.

Dear Annie: I am asexual, which means I am not interested in sex and am not sexually attracted to men or women.

I am tired of having to explain myself to everyone, tired of people judging me and tired of defending myself. Why does everyone feel the need to tell me it's "just a phase," or that I am "only trying to be different"? I am 22, and I know who I am. Why can't people accept me? — Tired in Maine Dear Tired: You really aren't required to discuss your sexual preferences or feelings with anyone. These things are personal and don't require justification.

Please contact the Asexuality Visibility and Education Network at asexuality.org for support and assistance.

Dear Annie: May I say a few things to "Unhappy Grandmother," whose son died two months ago and her daughter-in-law is already dating?

The loss of a child is very different from that of a spouse. Many people get involved in relationships right away, and some remarry within a year. For some widows and widowers, it is a need not to be alone. Others marry again because they want to recapture the happiness they felt. Some might remarry because a child has so much grief that they want to fill that space and help the child heal.

I lost my husband when our son was 3 years old and started dating six months later. Please don't allow your grief to get in the way of your daughter-in-law's happiness or ruin your relationship with her. She means no disrespect to your son. Her love for him will always be there. Consider it an honor that she is trying to find someone as special as he was. — Been Down that Road Myself Annie's Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

SUDOKU PUZZLE

HOW TO PLAY: Complete the grid so that every row, column and 3x3 box contains every digit from 1 to 9 inclusively. Find answers to today’s puzzle in tomorrow’s Troy Daily News.

YESTERDAY’S SOLUTION:

HINTS FROM HELOISE

How do I get rid of sticky situation in the tub?

Dear Heloise: I read your column every day in the Ventura County (Calif.) Star.

When we moved into our home 23 years ago, we placed “STICKERS” in the bathtub to prevent slips. How do we remove them now? — Sharon S., Thousand Oaks, Calif.

Start by using a hair dryer, on high heat, to warm and soften the adhesive. If this doesn’t work, start peeling up a corner of the sticker.

Then spray some prewash or lubricating oil underneath and let sit for an hour or more.

Using a plastic tool, like a spatula, start scraping as you pull up the sticker. Most of the stick-

Hints from Heloise Columnist er should come off.

If there is glue residue remaining, sprinkle cornmeal over it when dry. Using a nylon scrubber, carefully scrub the glue until it comes off.

Of course, depending on how long the stickers were in the tub, you may need time to get it all off. — Heloise

REPAIR RECOMMENDATIONS Dear Readers: When a plumber, heating-and-air-conditioning specialist, electrician or tech expert comes out to your home, be sure to make a copy of the work order once the service is completed.

I attach the copy near the repaired area by taping it inside the door, cabinet or even under the kitchen sink! If another repair is needed, or more work needs to be done at a later date, I know where the information is and will have the billing and explanation of what was done available. — Heloise CANDLELIGHT

Dear Heloise: If there is a power outage and you need to light up a room, use those large candles that come in glass jars.

Place one or more in a large, stainless-steel pot for safety.

Place the pot on top of a wooden cutting board for light in a large space. If you want to light up a kitchen table, then put the candles in a pot with handles and place on the table.

You can carry a pot with a candle in it from room to room, but always place the pot on your wooden cutting board to prevent any heat from possibly damaging where the pot is sitting. — Beverly G., The Woodlands, Texas

HOROSCOPE

BY FRANCES DRAKE For Friday, Nov. 30, 2012 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Something definitely will interrupt your daily routine at home. Small appliances might break down, minor breakages could occur or unexpected company could arrive at your door.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) This definitely is an accident-prone day for your sign, so slow down and take it easy. Be alert. Pay attention to everything you say and do now.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Keep an eye on your money and your possessions today. You might lose or break something, or it could even be stolen. If shopping, keep your receipts and count your change. Check your bank account.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You feel full of electrified energy today.

This is why you might be unusually impulsive, hasty or indecisive. Nevertheless, this could be a fun day! (Guard against minor accidents.)

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) You’re restless today. You have that feeling that you’re waiting for something to happen. And indeed, you might be right. Unexpected things are occurring all around you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) A friend might surprise you or do something rather shocking today. (Interesting.) Alternatively, you might encounter someone in a group situation who is a real character and quite provocative. (Also interesting.)

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) You might be offended by someone in a position of authority today — parent, boss, teacher or VIP. Nevertheless, don’t sound off. Zip thy lip so you’ll have no regrets.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Travel plans will be canceled, rescheduled or delayed today. Expect the unexpected, and definitely allow extra time no matter where you are traveling. School schedules will change as well.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) You might be surprised by a sudden decision (possibly a reversal) about shared property, inheritances or anything you own jointly with someone else. Fortunately, things tend to go your way now.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Upsets with partners and close friends are possible today. Someone might want more freedom or more space.

(What can you do?)

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Computer crashes, power outages, canceled appointments, staff shortages and mixed-up communications are par for the course today. Just cope as best you can at work.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) This is an accident-prone day for your kids; therefore, be alert! Sports injuries and canceled social occasions also are likely. (Disappointments are inevitable.)

YOU BORN TODAY You are intelligent, witty and extremely articulate.

You are skilled at dealing with obstacles, because your timing is perfect.

You do your homework and are always prepared for what you are about to encounter. (If necessary, you rehearse.)

You know how to get what you want.

Plus, you’re persuasive! Your year ahead will focus on partnerships and close friendships.

TODAY IN HISTORY (AP) — Today is Thursday, Nov. 29, the 334th day of 2012. There are 32 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Nov. 29, 1952, President-elect Dwight D. Eisenhower secretly left on a trip to Korea, keeping his campaign promise to assess the ongoing conflict first-hand.

On this date: • In 1947, the U.N. General Assembly passed a resolution calling for the partitioning of Palestine between Arabs and Jews.

• In 1961, Enos the chimp was launched from Cape Canaveral aboard the Mercury-Atlas 5 spacecraft, which

orbited earth twice before returning.

• In 1972, the coin-operated video arcade game Pong, created by Atari, made its debut at Andy Capp’s Tavern in Sunnyvale, Calif.

• In 1981, actress Natalie Wood drowned in a boating accident off Santa Catalina Island, Calif., at age 43.

• In 1986, actor Cary Grant died in Davenport, Iowa, at age 82.

• In 2001, George Harrison, the “quiet Beatle,” died in Los Angeles following a battle with cancer; he was 58.

• Five years ago: A court in Sudan convicted British teacher Gillian Gibbons of insulting Islam for letting

her pupils name a teddy bear “Muhammad” and sentenced her to 15 days in prison.

• One year ago: Eurozone ministers sent Greece an 8 billion-euro ($10.7 billion) Christmas rescue package to stem an immediate cash crisis.

• Today’s Birthdays: Hall-ofFame sportscaster Vin Scully is 85.

Composer-musician Chuck Mangione is 72. Comedian Garry Shandling is 63. Actor-comedian-celebrity judge Howie Mandel is 57. The mayor of Chicago, Rahm Emanuel, is 53. Actor Tom Sizemore is 51. Actor Don Cheadle is 48. Actress Gena Lee Nolin is 41. Actress Anna Faris is 36.

Floods in Britain highlight insurance dispute LONDON (AP) — Lynne Jones’ cozy bed and breakfast in Britain’s Lake District boasts views over the River Greta where heron come to feed, and a panoramic vista of Skiddaw mountain.

Jones says her B&B has another virtue: It’s practically watertight. In an island nation where some 920 homes have flooded and at least three people have died in the past few days, that’s saying something.

“It’s almost an ark,” she said. “Short of actually letting it float, we’ve done everything we can to protect it.”

But the floodgates and other fixtures Jones installed haven’t led to lower insurance premiums.

And things may get worse, as the British government and British insurers battle over a deal that would provide state guarantees for flood coverage at a time when losses are expected to rise because of global warming.

AP

A Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) crew make their way through flood waters in St. Asaph, North Wales, Tuesday, after the town flooded overnight.

With more storms on the way, the government and the insurance industry are engaged in mutual finger-pointing. Insurers say the government is failing to provide homeowners the type of guarantees that other European countries and the U.S. do, while the government is accusing the industry of whipping up people’s fears by publicizing its negotiating position even before flood waters have receded.

If a deal isn’t struck by the end of June, as many as 200,000 people in Britain could either lose their insurance or find it too expensive to pay premiums that are certain to rise without government guarantees.

All this comes as the European Environment Agency reported that global warming has caused an overall rise in sea levels globally and along most of the region’s coasts. There

has also been an increase in flooding along streams and rivers.

Floods and storms account for around twothirds of the costs for natural disasters, the agency concluded. And those costs continue to rise.

“The contribution of climate change to the damage costs from natural disasters is expected to increase in the future due to the projected increase in the intensity and frequency of extreme weather,” the report said.

Mindful of the trend, British insurers want to place a surcharge on all insurance premiums to create a new funding pot to cover flooding claims. But until that fund is built up, they want the government to back a temporary overdraft to cover any shortfalls during periods of intense flooding. So far, there’s no deal, and people watching floodwaters rise across the country have become uneasy.

“Negotiations have hit

an impasse,” Nick Starling, the director of general insurance at the Association of British Insurers said in a statement. “Insurers know their customers are increasingly worried about flood cover and we will therefore continue talks with government to try and find a way forward.”

The government says the door is still open to an agreement, but declined to get into the specifics. But it did take time to criticize the timing of the industry’s announcement, coming as heavy rains swept across the country and forced the evacuations of hundreds of homes.

Environment Secretary Owen Paterson said raising the issue of insurance was causing alarm unnecessarily.

“I think the timing was unhelpful,” he told BBC on Monday. “There are a lot of people across the country who are going to face some very bad weather over the next few days. Many people

are extremely worried, and I think it is not helpful to alarm people when we are in close, detailed negotiations.”

Prime Minister David Cameron raced to flooded areas Tuesday to underscore his concern. But with images of furniture floating down streets and cars lurching in torrents of mud, the argument that more needs to be done to help people recover is tough to ignore.

Governments around the world have responded to the problem of flooding in different ways. In Germany, coverage for flooding is offered as an optional add-on for household insurance with some 30 percent who need it going to private insurers although the state has stepped in to help after big disasters.

In the United States, the government partly backs flood insurance for high risk households, as does France, the insurers’ group said.

Tipp City BOE seeks community input Considers options following failed levy

BY JOHN BADEN Ohio Community Media editorial@tdnpublishing.com While its next meeting will be a week earlier than usual due to Christmas, Tipp City’s Board of Education may be meeting even sooner than that for another work session on finances and an upcoming levy for next May. Since requesting ideas from the public earlier this month, the board had received 70 emails from parents and teachers and expects more after recently sending out a One Call message to the school’s community, encouraging them to voice their ideas on the levy and what should be cut or kept if the school can’t get another levy passed.

Board member Kate Johnsen has been hard at work compiling information from the emails and did not see any overwhelming trends as of

TIPP CITY yet as to what options would be preferred over others.

Johnsen said that there were a lot of suggestions, including ones they’ve considered and others that wouldn’t work well with the law.

“It is a broad spectrum, and we can’t do everything,” Johnsen said.

“We’re going to have to figure out what we think is best, so this is input and information for us.”

For the board, it all starts with the levy — its millage amount and its time frame.

“I think there are places that if we cut, it will change our schools,” Johnsen said.

While board members aren’t against cutting the levy’s millage, members agreed to have Treasurer Joseph Smith work up the numbers on a few instances with a smaller

amount to get a picture of where a smaller levy will take the school.

Regardless of what path the board chooses, President Tom Merritt said that the school’s mission must be kept in mind, when deciding on what cuts to make and what millage to put on the ballot.

“The mission of our district is to provide an exemplary education, and that’s what we have to do,” Merritt said.

New and revised policies Board members discussed new and revised statewide school policies that will be accepted at their meeting next month.

One revised policy will allow 1,000-mile field trips for school buses.

According to Superintendent Dr. John Kronour, before this change, school buses could not go more than 250 miles outside of state borders.

Dr. Kronour used the example of the high school’s softball team travel-

ing to Knoxville, showing that the city would not be in reach for the team to go by bus.

“I’m not sure you really want to travel that far by school bus,” Kronour said. “It’s maybe not the most comfortable ride in the world, but again it definitely puts some things within range that may not have been before.”

A new policy will require all school districts in the state to hold an educational program on the U.S. Constitution on Sept. 17 of each year, which is the day the Constitution was ratified.

This policy stems from Senate Bill 316, encouraging schools to go back and inform students of the documents that define the United States of America such as the Declaration of Independence and the Article of Confederation.

“I believe it’s something that could be done in each classroom,” Kronour said in clarifying what the education program would look like at their school.

Tainted names on Hall ballots

BY JOSH BROWN Sports Editor jbrown@tdnpublishing.com For the Trojans, the most excitement came when the lights went out in the first quarter.

Still, a young Troy team hung tough with Centerville for the first six minutes, but then the state-ranked Elks went to work from the outside and then the inside en route to a 55-13 rout Wednesday in the Trojans’ home opener.

NEW YORK (AP) — The most polarizing Hall of Fame debate since Pete Rose will now be decided by the baseball shrine’s voters: Do Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens and Sammy Sosa belong in Cooperstown despite drug allegations that tainted their huge numbers?

In a monthlong election sure to become a referendum on the Steroids Era, the Hall ballot was released Wednesday, and Bonds, Clemens and Sosa are on it for the first time.

Bonds is the all-time home run champion with 762 and won a record seven MVP awards.

Clemens took home a record seven Cy Young trophies and is ninth with 354 victories. Sosa ranks eighth on the homer chart with 609.

TROY The score was tied 2-2 with 3:32 left in the first quarter when the Trojan Activities Center went pitch black save for the scoreboard, and Troy (0-3) had held the potent Centerville offense in check to that point.

“I looked up at the clock, and there was 1:54 left in the first — and the score was 2-2,” Troy coach Nathan Kopp said. “In my mind, we were playing outstanding defense. We were limiting them to one outside shot, they were missing and we were getting the rebound.”

Reds ink Broxton for three years The Reds signed Jonathan Broxton to a three-year, $21 million contract on Wednesday, giving the NL Central champions a potential closer and a chance to reconfigure their starting rotation.

Trubisky named AP Mr. Football The biggest play of Mentor’s season was in good hands.

Coach Steve Trivisonno knew by looking into quarterback Mitch Trubisky’s eyes that a two-point conversion in the regional finals against mighty Cleveland St. Ignatius in the third overtime, no less was going to be successful. See Page 16.

With four returning seniors — including three-time state qualifier Allen Seagraves — the Vikings are looking to reach new heights, and Sroufe is looking for Seagraves to complete his career by standing on the podium.

“He has it in him to get on that podium and place,” Sroufe said. “He’s just got to have the confidence in himself that we have in him.”

Seagraves may not be the only person wrestling by the time the state championship rolls around.

Ballots ■ CONTINUED FROM 14 this particular ballot was going to be controversial and divisive to an unprecedented extent,” Larry Stone of The Seattle Times wrote in an email. “My hope is that some clarity begins to emerge over the Hall of Fame status of those linked to performanceenhancing drugs. But I doubt it.”

More than 600 longtime members of the Baseball Writers’ Association of America will vote on the 37player ballot. Candidates require 75 percent for induction, and the results will be announced Jan. 9.

Craig Biggio, Mike Piazza and Curt Schilling also are among the 24 firsttime eligibles. Jack Morris, Jeff Bagwell and Tim Raines are the top holdover candidates.

If recent history is any indication, the odds are solidly stacked against Bonds, Clemens and Sosa.

Mark McGwire and Rafael Palmeiro both posted Cooperstown-caliber stats, too, but drug clouds doomed them in Hall voting.

Some who favor Bonds and Clemens claim the bulk of their accomplishments came before baseball got wrapped up in drug scandals. They add that PED use was so prevalent in the 1980s, 1990s and early 2000s that it’s unfair to exclude anyone because so many who-did-and-whodidn’t questions remain.

Many fans on the other side say drug cheats suspected or otherwise should never be afforded the game’s highest individual honor.

Either way, this election is baseball’s newest hot button, generating the most fervent Hall arguments since Rose. The discussion about Rose was moot, however the game’s career hits leader agreed to a lifetime ban in 1989 after an investigation concluded he bet on games while managing the Cincinnati Reds, and that barred him from the BBWAA ballot.

The BBWAA election rules allow voters to pick up to 10 candidates. As for criteria, this is the only instruction: “Voting shall be based upon the player’s record, playing ability, integrity, sportsmanship, character, and contributions to the team(s) on which the player played.”

That leaves a lot of room for interpretation.

Bonds, Clemens and Sosa won’t get a vote from Mike Klis of The Denver Post.

“Nay on all three. I think in all three cases, their performances were artificially enhanced. Especially in the cases of Bonds and Clemens, their production went up abnormally late in their careers,” he wrote in an email.

They’ll do better with Bob Dutton of The Kansas City Star.

“I plan to vote for all three. I understand the steroid/PED questions surrounding each one, and I’ve wrestled with the implications,” he wrote in an email.

“My view is these guys played and posted Hall of Fame-type numbers against the competition of their time. That will be my sole yardstick. If Major League Baseball took no action against a player during his career for alleged or suspected steroid/PED use, I’m not going to do so in assessing their career for the Hall of Fame,” he said.

San Jose Mercury News columnist Mark Purdy will reserve judgment.

“At the beginning of all this, I made up my mind I had to adopt a consistent policy on the steroid social club. So, my policy has been, with the brilliance in the way they set up the Hall of Fame vote where these guys have a 15-year window, I’m not going to vote for any of those guys until I get the best picture possible of what was happening then,” he wrote in an email.

“We learn a little bit more each year. We learned a lot during the Bonds trial. We learned a lot during the Clemens trial.”

Troy’s Courtney Mazzulla brings the ball up the floor Wednesday against Centerville.

■ CONTINUED FROM 14 But when the lights came back on, a light went off for the Elks.

Centerville (1-0) connected on four straight 3point attempts, shooting over top of Troy’s zone and making the most of their one chance each trip down the floor. Bethany Krause first converted a threepoint play the hard way to give the Elks a 5-2 lead, then Krause and Shannon Reilly hit back-to-back 3s to make it an 11-2 game after one. Reilly canned another one after a Todda Norris layup to start the second, and then Reilly found Krause open for another 3 to make it 17-4.

Troy, meanwhile, couldn’t find any room on the offensive end, turning the ball over 15 times in the first half.

“They’re ranked in the state,” Kopp said. “They hit two 3s to end the quarter, then two more to start the second.”

The Elks’ success from outside softened up the inside, and Shannon Coffee went to work in the paint.

Coffee — who finished with 10 points and nine rebounds — hit three putbacks before halftime, helping Centerville build a 26-7 lead at the break.

“Momentum goes both ways,” Kopp said. “They start making shots, and they can press. And I thought we did a good job of handling their press, but they’re so athletic. We struggled to get shots up, and when we did, they weren’t the best shots.”

Kristen Wood scored five of her team-high seven points in the third quarter for Troy. The Trojans played half of the fourth quarter with her off the floor, though, and were shut out in the frame.

Krause led all scorers with 12 points and Reilly added seven for Centerville.

“We’re young,” Kopp said. “We played six girls tonight — two freshmen, two sophomores and two seniors. And I told the girls that that will be the best team we play all year. This was their (Centerville’s) first game, so we didn’t have a chance to scout or see them before tonight.

“We’re young, but we’ll get better.”

It doesn’t get easier for Troy, which travels to Miami East Saturday night.

Troy’s Cristina Dennison pulls up for a jumper Wednesday night against Centerville.

at the district level last season, but a late dropout allowed him to wrestle. didn’t “(Hubbard) qualify past districts, but he got to wrestle there for the first time,” Sroufe said. “This year we expect him to be a district qualifier and hopefully place in the top four to get him to state.”

Stephen Morrow never wrestled before high school, and last year during his junior year he was pinned at the sectional during a match that he was winning, preventing him from qualifying for district.

Morrow spent a week at Penn State University wrestling camp learning from two-time national champion coach Cael Sanderson and has brought some of that knowledge Miami East. referred to Sroufe Morrow as a “sponge” because of how he is able to soak up everything he is taught.

O’Malley Danny rounds out the talented senior class that hopes to send four wrestlers to the district level. “(Danny) has improved so much over the years that we have had him,” Sroufe said.

“He has always had to wrestle the bigger or stronger kids in his weight class, but he has been great sticking with them. We need to get him past some of those close matches that we are in until the end to get him to be a district qualifier.”

The leadership that the seniors has brought to Miami East is something that makes Sroufe proud. With 10 underclassmen — including a group of freshman who have experience and talent — having a strong senior core is going to help the team long-term and make it very competitive in dual meets.

“They have been leading by example, but they still keep things loose and fun,” Sroufe said. “They have been really upbeat and positive, and we are fortunate to have them.”

While the seniors may be the leaders of the group, junior Austin Rush will be expecting

to join them in the postseason. During district last season, Rush was in a car accident on the last day of the tournament when he hit a patch of ice while driving his brother home.

After taking care of everything at the accident, he still managed to wrestle that day.

“His mom hightailed him to Kettering and he literally walked through the door and stepped on the mat,” Sroufe said.

Rush fell one match short of qualifying for state, but Sroufe was proud of him regardless.

“It shows his resolve,” Sroufe said. “A lot of kids would have packed it in (after the accident), but it says a lot about him.”

With Rush’s strong performance through adversity, he and Sroufe are both expecting great things for him this season.

Sroufe is also excited about the possibility of filling 13 weight classes — one short of the 14 total. Seagraves will wrestle in either the 120 or 126 pound weight class, Hubbard will be wrestling in either the 170 or 182 pound weight class, Morrow will be in either the 126 or 132 pound class, O’Malley is looking to be in the 152 or 160 pound weight class and Rush will be wrestling in the 132 pound weight class.

The Vikings will be looking forward to wrestling in the first ever state dual meet in January, as well as the Troy Invitational and the Tipp City Invitational. But they are most excited about traveling to Lima Catholic Central where they will face off against up to 40 Division III schools.

“These are schools we won’t see until the district or state level,” Sroufe said. “It’s always a great tournament for us and is always a highlight before going to sectionals.”

Sroufe is now eager for the season to start and see how well this group will perform.

“It’s been a fun group to be around,” Sroufe said. “Great personality.

Great work ethic. I’m really looking forward to starting the season and continuing to grow.”

Trubisky named No. 2 Duke knocks off No. 4 OSU AP Mr. Football COLUMBUS (AP) — The biggest play of Mentor’s season was in good hands.

Coach Steve Trivisonno knew by looking into quarterback Mitch Trubisky’s eyes that a two-point conversion in the regional finals against mighty Cleveland St. Ignatius in the third overtime, no less was going to be successful.

“You looked at him and he walked out there on the field and made the play,” Trivisonno said. “It was just like he expected to do it.”

Such self-assurance is a big reason why Trubisky was announced Wednesday night as the 26th winner of the prestigious Associated Press Mr. Football award, given annually to the best high school player in Ohio.

Trubisky, a 6-foot-3, 200pound senior, and his team fell a game short of this week’s big-school state championship game. That’s one of the few disappointments in an otherwise glittering career.

“It’s been awesome. The only thing that would have been better is if we were able to bring a state cham-

pionship home,” Trubisky said this week as he kept both hands on the wheel while driving home from school. “You can only ask for so much and whatever happens, happens. I’m blessed for the career I had at Mentor.” Also an outstanding student, Trubisky passed for more than 4,000 yards and 42 touchdowns and ran for 835 yards and 18 TDs as a senior. He completed 264 of 393 passes (.672) with 12 interceptions, for a stratospheric passerrating of better than 180.00.

He scored 108 points ironically, the same total as his two favorite 1,000-yard receivers, Brandon Fritts and Conner Krizancic, behind running back Nick Delisa’s 126 points.

Mentor, by the way, is sort of becoming the home of AP award winners.

Fritts is the brother of the reigning Mr. Basketball, Justin Fritts, now at Wheeling Jesuit. On top of that, Trubisky is the second Cardinals quarterback to take the top honor in the state, following in the footsteps of Bart Tanski in 2007.

DURHAM, N.C. (AP) — Mason Plumlee had 21 points and a career-hightying 17 rebounds, and No. 2 Duke rallied late and held on to beat No. 4 Ohio State 73-68 on Wednesday night.

Rasheed Sulaimon scored 17 points and Ryan Kelly added 15 and hit 3pointers on consecutive trips downcourt early during the 20-7 run that put the Blue Devils (7-0) ahead to stay and sent them to their third win over a topfive team this month.

Deshaun Thomas scored

16 points for Ohio State (41), while Aaron Craft and Lenzelle Smith Jr. had 11 apiece.

Weber State 62, Dayton 61 DAYTON — Kyle Tresnak scored 16 points and Scott Bamforth added 15 as Weber State rallied from a seven-point deficit, then held off Dayton 62-61 Wednesday night.

Trailing 27-20, the Wildcats (2-2) went on a 162 run, with Bamforth scoring eight straight points in the spree, including a pair

of 3-pointers.

Dayton (4-2) used a 7-0 spurt to tie it at 38, but couldn’t pull ahead until a Josh Benson three-point play with 2:34 to go made it 57-56.

Kent State 85, Youngstown St. 78 YOUNGSTOWN — Chris Evans finished with a double-double with 24 points and 10 rebounds to help Kent State beat Youngstown State Wednesday night in overtime 85-78 in nonconference action.

Ohio 69, St. Bonaventure 64 ATHENS — D.J. Cooper’s 3-pointer with 38 seconds remaining and his two free throws 19 seconds later helped Ohio remain unbeaten with a 69-64 nonconference victory over St. Bonaventure on Wednesday night.

The Bobcats, off to their first 6-0 start since 1969-70, led 53-45 before the Bonnies (3-2) used an 11-0 run to take a 56-53 lead at the 6:52 mark of the second half.

Reds sign Broxton to 3-year deal CINCINNATI (AP) — The Reds signed Jonathan Broxton to a three-year, $21 million contract on Wednesday, giving the NL Central champions a potential closer and a chance to reconfigure their starting rotation.

Broxton came to the Reds last July in a trade with Kansas City and was part of their push toward the playoffs. He filled in as the closer when Aroldis Chapman came down with a tired shoulder and had

four saves in six chances overall with a 2.82 ERA, impressing the Reds.

Now they have the option of turning Chapman into a starter, which was the plan last season until closer Ryan Madson tore up his pitching elbow.

The Reds have told Chapman to prepare for next season as a starter, although they haven’t committed to Broxton as the closer.

“Nothing’s in stone

right now,” assistant general manager Bob Miller said. “We told (Chapman) before he left to prepare because that’s the hardest part starter. When we talked to Jonathan we said he was going to be at the back end of the bullpen.

What happens depends on spring training and how things play out in the offseason.”

Broxton’s deal pays him a $4 million base salary in 2013, $7 million in 2014 and $9 million in 2015.

There’s a club option for another year at $9 million with a $1 million buyout.

He also got a limited notrade provision. Broxton gets to pick 10 teams each year that would be acceptable in a trade. If he’s dealt, the club option becomes a mutual option and the buyout increases by $1 million.

Broxton wanted a multiyear deal so he could settle in one place. He didn’t insist on assurances he’d be a closer.
