Committee OKs ’13 budget

Unfortunately, bullying still happens

Council will review at upcoming meeting

BY NATALIE KNOTH Staff Writer nknoth@tdnpublishing.com

Professionals in the education world call it bullying. Professionals in the business world call it harassment. Professionals in the law enforcement world call it abuse or assault.

I recently attended a school function called Rachel’s Challenge and Rachel’s Legacy at Miami East earlier this week. No school district is void of bullying. On any given day there is news of students who commit suicide or a video of retaliation on YouTube goes viral several times a year. It’s terrible. It’s awful.

The city of Troy 2013 budget was approved by the finance committee Thursday, with one member commenting that the figures were more optimistic than expected.

“I’m very encouraged because I

TROY think at one time we were going into a deficit in the general fund by 2015, but now it’s pushed back to 2017,” said councilman John Schweser.

The upcoming budget was approved unanimously by the com-

mittee comprised of Schweser, chairman Tom Kendall and Doug Trembley.

Director of Public Service and Safety Patrick Titterington gave a presentation of budget recommendations before asking for feedback from council members, Mayor Michael Beamish and department directors.

Repairs are under way along the bike path bridge over the Great Miami River, which caught fire June 19 and has remained closed ever since.

A crew from The Righter Company, out of Columbus, began the work on Monday and should be completed in the next 30 days, said Bob Graeser, project manager.

The cost of the project is $90,000, which is covered under the city’s insurance policy. See Page 6.

Miami County Sheriff’s Office investigators are not pressing charges MIAMI in the case of a 93COUNTY year-old woman found mauled by Boston terrier dogs in Bethel Twp. on Tuesday.

Elizabeth Hirt remains listed in serious condition in the intensive care unit at Miami Valley Hospital after she was transported by CareFlight from her home from the injuries she sustained by the dogs Tuesday.

In an email to Troy Daily News on Wednesday, detective Lt. Steve Lord said the investigation has shown that the daughter, Jennifer Dickensheet, 66, of New Carlisle, had not been functioning as a caregiver to a degree that she had a duty or obligation to her mother’s care that would be applicable under the law.

On Tuesday, officers found Hirt lying on the floor, covered in blood. Officers observed both Hirt’s hands had been severely bitten and were missing large chunks of flesh. Officers also found the calf area of both of her legs were also chewed upon.

According to the initial investigation,

renovate Hobart Arena, which Titterington said had a record number of activities this year; and how to more efficiently and costeffectively communicate with residents, the media and visitors.

Titterington said the city must have a more comprehensive strategy moving forward in terms of issuing digital, electronic and mobile technology to staff. The city of Troy website is also in need of an update, he added. “It’s getting a little, how should we say — clunky,� Titterington said. The city also hopes to better utilize social media and possibly

find alternatives to mailing newsletters two times a year.

Titterington stressed, though, that more traditional means of communication have already been factored into the budget. The rehiring of a management information systems tech has been considered to allow for advances in information dissemination.

Opportunities to boost funds included increasing parking fees, instituting a fingerprinting charge and reinstating the permissive tax intended to offset the street paving program. The city may also look to alter the Cemetery Endowment Fund, or Fund 672, which was intended to generate enough inter-

est to support maintenance at the ceremony but has fallen significantly short of expectations.

In other council news: • The safety and health committee recommended moving forward on a five-year fire and EMS agreement with Staunton Twp., with the current agreement expiring this year. Emergency legislation is needed to meet the time frame. • Amending the sign code was recommended by the law and ordinance committee, which also entails amending the zoning code.

In response to a question from councilman Bobby Phillips, City of Troy Law Director Jim Livingston

clarified that an individual sign can be posted for 28 days in a calendar year and may not cover more than 25 percent of the window. • The finance committee agreed to move forward on accepting an Ohio Department of Natural Resources grant for the construction of a restroom facility at Treasure Island. • Legislation will be prepared regarding agency funding for 2013, which the finance committee approved. Funding was slated at $55,000 for Troy Main Street, $90,000 for public access television, $29,000 for Troy Rec and $125,000 for Troy Development Council.

Mauling

Palestine • CONTINUED FROM 1 Palestinians to a nonmember observer state. It passed 138-9, with 41 abstentions.

The historic vote came 65 years to the day after the U.N. General Assembly voted in 1947 to divide Palestine into two states, one for Jews and one for Arabs. Israel became a state but the Palestinians rejected the partition plan, and decades of tension and violence have followed.

Real independence, however, remains an elusive dream until the Palestinians negotiate a peace deal with the Israelis, who warned that the General Assembly action will only delay a lasting solution. Israel still controls the West Bank, east Jerusalem and access to Gaza, and it accused the Palestinians of bypassing negotiations with the campaign to upgrade their U.N. status.

In the West Bank city of Ramallah, jubilant Palestinians crowded into the main square, waving Palestinian flags and chanting “God is great!�

Hundreds had watched the vote on outdoor screens and televisions, and they hugged, honked their horns and set off fireworks as the final vote was cast.

The tally came after a speech by Palestinian

President Mahmoud Abbas in which he called the moment a “last chance� to save the two-state solution. “The General Assembly is being asked today to issue the birth certificate of Palestine,� the Palestinian leader declared.

The United States and Israel immediately criticized the vote. “Today’s unfortunate and counterproductive resolution places further obstacles in the path of peace,�

U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice said. “Today’s grand pronouncements will soon fade and the Palestinian people will wake up tomorrow and find that little about their lives has changed save that the prospects of a durable peace have only receded.�

Calling the vote “meaningless,� Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accused Abbas of spreading “mendacious propaganda� against Israel in a speech he rejected as “defamatory and venomous.� “The resolution in the U.N. today won’t change anything on the ground,�

Netanyahu said. “It won’t advance the establishment of a Palestinian state, but rather, put it further off.�

With most U.N. members sympathetic to the Palestinians, there had been no doubt the resolu-

tion would be approved. A state of Palestine has already been recognized by 132 countries, and the Palestinians have 80 embassies and 40 representative offices around the world, according to the Palestinian Foreign Ministry.

Still, the Palestinians lobbied hard for Western support, winning over key European countries including France, Italy, Spain, Switzerland, Sweden and Ireland, as well as Japan and New Zealand. Germany and Britain were among the many Western nations that abstained.

Joining the United States and Israel in voting “no� were Canada, the Czech Republic, the Marshall Islands, Micronesia, Nauru, Palau and Panama.

Despite Thursday’s triumph, the Palestinians face enormous limitations. They don’t control their borders, airspace or trade, they have separate and competing governments in Gaza and the West Bank and they have no unified army or police.

The vote grants Abbas an overwhelming international endorsement for his key position: establishment of a Palestinian state in the West Bank, Gaza Strip and east Jerusalem, the territories captured by Israel in the 1967 Mideast war. With Netanyahu opposed to a pullback to the 1967 lines, this should strengthen Abbas’ hand if peace talks resume.

The U.N. action also could help Abbas restore some of his standing, which has been eroded by years of standstill in peace efforts.

His rival, the Hamas militant group, deeply entrenched in Gaza, has

seen its popularity rise after it responded with a barrage of rocket fire to an Israeli offensive earlier this month on targets linked to the militants.

In a departure from its previous opposition, Hamas, which rules Gaza and refuses to recognize Israel, said it wouldn’t interfere with the U.N. bid for statehood, and its supporters joined some of the celebrations Thursday.

With its newly enhanced status, the Palestinians can now gain access to U.N. agencies and international bodies, most significantly the International Criminal Court, which could become a springboard for going after Israel for alleged war crimes or its ongoing settlement building on war-won land.

However, in the run-up to the U.N. vote, Abbas signaled that he wants recognition to give him leverage in future talks with Israel, and not as a tool for confronting or delegitimizing Israel, as Israeli leaders have claimed.

Speaking stridently at times Thursday, Abbas accused the Israelis of “colonial occupation� that institutionalizes racism and charged that the Jewish state is continuing to perpetuate “war crimes.�

Still, he said the Palestinians did not come to terminate “what remains of the negotiations process� but to try “to breathe new life into the negotiations� and achieve an independent state. “We will act responsibly and positively in our next steps,� he said.

The Palestinians turned to the General Assembly after the United States announced it would veto their bid last fall for full U.N. membership until there is a peace deal with Israel. Abbas made clear that this remains the Palestinians’ ultimate goal hopefully soon.

The vote grants the Palestinians the same status at the U.N. as the Vatican, and they will keep their seat next to the Holy See in the assembly chamber.

Hirt’s son, Jerome Hirt, 67, found his mother lying in a pool of blood Tuesday morning and called 911.

Lord said while the victim had some signs of dementia, the 93-year-old was “pretty functional as it relates to her own care.� “We will not be pursuing criminal charges, but will make a referral to Adult Protective Services at Job and Family Services,� Lord said. “They can determine if action is required regarding the victim’s environment being unfit for her own wellbeing.�

Lord said the disposition of the animals is being handled by the Miami County Animal Shelter.

Veterinarian • CONTINUED FROM 1 with four cats, began making house calls in 2003, when she graduated from veterinary school. She cares for dogs, cats, birds, guinea pigs, bearded dragons, snakes and more — even exotics. In the past she cared for horses, too.

She began in human medicine but switched to veterinary medicine, after she became disconcerted with the insurance industry. “It wasn’t medical teams and patients making decisions; it was the insurance companies and bureaucracies,� Walker explained. “I wanted to be part of something where families could choose their options and make decisions. I’d rather be a partner and help them make decisions.�

Walker charges $35 for house calls — regardless of the number of pets — with an additional cost per mile outside Troy.

ONLINE POLL

(WWW.TROYDAILYNEWS.COM)

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

Watch for final poll results in Sunday’s Miami Valley Sunday News.

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

PERSPECTIVE

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

— First Amendment, U.S. Constitution

EDITORIAL ROUNDUP San Francisco Chronicle on Libya account not being the whole truth: The Obama White House needs to set the record straight about the disconnect between what the CIA knew about the deadly Sept. 11 attack on the U.S. mission in Benghazi, Libya, and the administration’s public insistence that it was an outgrowth of a spontaneous demonstration.

Ex-CIA Director David Petraeus reportedly told Congress in a closed hearing Friday that he knew early on that the attack that killed Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens and three other Americans was an act of terrorism, but that critical detail was not made public for fear of tipping off the perpetrators that they were being tracked.

“Talking points” supposedly based on the best available intelligence continued to advance a narrative that the assaults were prompted by an overheated demonstration prompted by an anti-Muslim video. Most notably, those talking points were parroted by Susan Rice, U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, on Sunday talk shows. The president himself advanced the spontaneous-demonstration theory long after it was presumably discounted at the As I top levels of U.S. intelligence.

Boosting American influence in the Asia-Pacific region makes excellent sense.

In the last few days, the diplomatic effort has ramped up considerably. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Defense Secretary Leon Panetta took off with full schedules for Australia, Cambodia and Thailand. Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Martin Dempsey headed for South Korea and Australia.

Obama himself flew to Thailand and then Cambodia, for a summit of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations.

The trip also included the first-ever visit by a U.S. president to Myanmar, formerly Burma.

In Yangon, the capital, Obama visited Nobel laureate and opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi, and President Thein Sein, whose country has opened rapidly in the last three years.

Suu Kyi, long held under house arrest, was freed — then won a seat in parliament in elections permitted in 2010.

Rebel insurgencies and ethnic conflicts remain a problem — as is the army, which has been accused of massacres, rapes and the dragooning of child soldiers.

Incredibly, army troops still have immunity from all crimes in civilian courts and the military is guaranteed 25 percent of the seats in parliament and three cabinet posts.

To encourage further reforms, Obama pledged $170 million in aid.

Assuming Congress approves the funds, Washington must closely watch events in Yangon to ensure progress continues.

DOONESBURY

Unfortunately, bullying happens at all stages of life Professionals in the education world call it bullying.

Professionals in the business world call it harassment.

Professionals in the law enforcement world call it abuse or assault.

I recently attended a school function called Rachel’s Challenge and Rachel’s Legacy at Miami East earlier this week. No school district is void of bullying. On any given day there is news of students who commit suicide, or a video of retaliation on YouTube goes viral several times a year. It’s terrible. It’s awful.

I hate to be a realist in these sensitive times, but here it goes.

The fact is even if bullying does not happen at school, similar situations can happen at home, on the soccer field and on the bus — and even in our adult world.

The problem these days (I am dating myself here) is that there’s little escape with social networks and children (yes, children) have cell phones and the perpetrators hide behind screens.

I am so glad I didn’t have to deal with this technology when I was in school.

What I liked most about the Rachel’s Challenge program and the tips and strategies presented

Melanie Yingst Troy Daily News Columnist was that it gave children tips on how to deal with being picked on or harassed well before the verbal and sometimes physical assaults occur. It even taught how kids could sympathize with the one who was hurting them the most.

It put the power back in the children’s hands. Children were told that they had the power to combat these mean outbursts. The motivational speaker gave these children life lessons such as simple acts of kindness and how to begin to reach out to others — even the bullies themselves.

The fact is bullying happens well beyond graduation day. I hate to break it to you kids. Bullying happens at workplace, at the gym, heck, even at church. Sometimes you are the bully and others times, you are the one being picked on.

— The Farrenkopf family Troy

I’ve been on both sides of the fence both in school and well beyond the turning of the tassels.

I understand nowadays that it goes too far. I’ve heard tearful testimonies from parents whose daughter was assaulted after school and her books were thrown across Market Street. I’m glad the parents spoke up.

And in real life, actions like that get you fired from a job or law enforcement can place restraining orders and press charges on those who commit crimes like assault and harassment.

Can we all agree that we will always have to deal with difficult and mean people in this world?

These people can make your job more difficult, wear on your nerves, make you dread contacting them and instill fear that you may give them more ammunition to continue to make your life difficult. They will always exist.

Hopefully maturity and life perspective — which can only be obtained with age — will help one plow through those difficult people, difficult situations and hard times.

But that’s what kids’ lack: maturity and perspective.

Heck even in personal relation-

ships we often deal with negative people and behavior. Family members can be difficult, boyfriends and spouses can make life less than perfect and if they have exgirlfriends and boyfriends, they too, can make life less than stellar.

You know who they are. It still happens today, and I’m 30.

It hurts, it’s confusing and it’s infuriating.

But it’s through these experiences that we learn what we can do to combat the bullies in our lives.

As long as the world is round, bullies will be part of life. But it’s life experience from the school yard to the office cubicle that will yield backbone building skills to deal with these people. They just may need a little extra help from you and from above.

Parents and principals can be helpful guides and step in when the waters are too rough. But I hope adults will at least give the kids an oar or two along the way to help themselves. And we can all pray for calmer waters or become a partner to help each other paddle along the way through the tough times.

OBITUARIES

JERRY A. CAIN PORTLAND, Ore. — Jerry A. Cain passed away peacefully Monday, November 26, 2012, at the home of his daughter, Sarah Cain, in Portland, Ore., following a lengthy battle with multiple sclerosis and a brief acute illness due to his MS. Jerry was born March 14, 1939, in Troy, to his parents Ralph W. and Edythe (Hawkey) Cain.

He graduated from Troy High School in 1957 and from the University of Cincinnati in 1962.

Jerry never allowed MS to slow him down.

He followed a number of family traditions: his career in commercial art

(his father); two years in the Navy (his grandfather); gardening and a love of traveling (his mother); and the joys of fine dining (many generations of the Cain and Hawkey families).

He particularly loved the city of Chicago, but moved to Portland at 60 years of age to be closer to his daughter and grandson Biko.

In Portland, he continued to enjoy the local symphony, art and history museums, dining out and chess, all while stylishly dressed.

Jerry also loved being outdoors and doing anything from hiking and camping to canoeing, as well as all forms of air

MIRIAM MAXINE JENKINS travel including parachuting and flying in helicopters and gliders.

Memories of many happy adventures and special occasions will be fondly recalled by Jerry’s daughter, Sarah; and grandson Biko, and Sarah’s friend, Ty Overeem, all of Portland, his sister, Martha of Troy; and our special family member, Kathy, as well as several cousins and awesome friends.

A celebration of Jerry’s life will be held in Sarah’s garden in Portland next summer.

All who knew and cared for him are invited; contact Martha Cain for further information at martigoblue@yahoo.com.

Repair work on bike path bridge under way

BY WILL E SANDERS Ohio Community Media wsanders@dailycall.com Repairs are under way along the bike path bridge over the Great Miami River, which caught fire June 19 and has remained closed ever since.

A crew from The Righter Company, out of Columbus, began the work on Monday and should be completed in the next 30 days, said Bob Graeser, project manager.

The cost of the project is $90,000, which is covered under the city’s insurance policy.

While it has nearly been six months since the fire shut the bike path down, the city had to produce cost estimates, submit those estimates to their insurance company, and put the project out to bid.

Graeser said the crew will be removing

AP MOVIE REVIEWS • “The Central Park Fiveâ€? This documentary takes an emotionally charged subject the wrongful conviction and imprisonment of five black and Hispanic teenage boys for the rape of a white, female jogger and makes its case in a straightforward, detached manner. It is thoughtful, educational and understated, perhaps to a fault tonally, the trademark work of veteran documentarian Ken Burns, who directs, writes and produces this time with daughter Sarah Burns, who wrote a book about the crime, and her husband, David McMahon. It efficiently depicts, but doesn’t get caught up in, the hysteria of the place and time: a racially and socioeconomically divided New York City in April 1989, when it was rotting with crack cocaine, AIDS and violent crime but also gleaming with the conspicuous consumption of the era.

The late-night attack on jogger Trisha Meili, then a 28-year-old Wall Street investment banker who’s now an author and motivational speaker, became a symbol of this chasm and everything that seemed wrong with society. And the five young men from Harlem who happened to be running around Central Park that night, Antron McCray, Kevin Richardson, Raymond Santana, Korey Wise (previously spelled Kharey Wise), and Yusef Salaam became all-too easy scapegoats. “The Central Park Fiveâ€? aims to clear their names publicly, once and for all, in a way that much of the press did not when a judge vacated the young men’s convictions in 2002. Not rated but contains language and graphic, violent details. 119 minutes. Three stars out of four. • “Killing Them Softlyâ€? Writer-director Andrew Dominik’s film is an incredibly stylish genre exercise set in the world of mobsters, junkies and lowlifes, but it’s also trying incredibly hard to be About Something. Not content merely to be profane, abrasive and occasionally, darkly amusing, it also wants to be relevant. And so Dominik has taken the 1974 crime novel “Cogan’s Tradeâ€? by George V. Higgins and set it in the days before the 2008 presidential election, just as the U.S. economy is in the midst of catastrophic collapse.

Every television and radio is tuned to then-candidate Barack Obama or President George W. Bush addressing the nation even in bars and thugs’ cars with the volume cranked way up, commenting all too obviously on the film’s action. As if we couldn’t decipher for ourselves that organized crime functions as its own form of capitalism, “Killing Them Softly� turns on the mini-implosion that occurs when a couple of idiots rob a mobprotected card game. Scoot McNairy plays the jittery ex-con Frankie; his inept partner is a heroin addict played by Ben Mendelsohn. Both are aggressively grungy. The corporate types at the top of the syndicate want to restore order, so they ask Jackie Cogan, an enforcer played by Brad Pitt (star of Dominik’s haunting, poetic “The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford�), to investigate the heist and punish the perpetrators. This is one of those effortless Pitt performances that exemplify how beautifully he manages to be both a serious actor and a superstar. The film’s best scenes are the ones he shares with James Gandolfini as a brazen but insecure hit man. R for violence, sexual references, pervasive language and some drug use.

97 minutes. Two stars out of four.

‘BUCKWILD’ series debuts Jan. 3 on MTV Beverly Hillbillies,� which was to feature residents of rural Appalachia plunked down in the middle of Beverly Hills.

A year later, the horror film “Wrong Turn,� shot in Canada, was set in a hypothetical West Virginia, where cannibalistic mountain men terrorized lost tourists.

And in 2008, state leaders responded vehemently when a casting company looked to West Virginia for extras to play inbred degenerates.

On the upside, though, was last year’s Paramount Pictures blockbuster “Super 8.�

It was set in Weirton, the same town used for some scenes in the classic Vietnam film “The Deer Hunter.�

The 2004 film “Win a Date with Tad Hamilton� was partially shot in Fayetteville, which stood in for the Putnam County town of Frazier’s Bottom, where the script was set.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Move over, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jersey Shoreâ&#x20AC;? cast. A bunch of wild young West Virginians are about to fill your time slot.

MTV will begin airing the reality show â&#x20AC;&#x153;BUCKWILD,â&#x20AC;? shot in Sissonville and Charleston, at 10 p.m.

Jan. 3, spokeswoman Candice Ashton said Thursday.

Details about the series were to be released later in the day, but last fall, the network said it had ordered 12 episodes of the show featuring a group of young people recently out of high school and their â&#x20AC;&#x153;colorful antics.â&#x20AC;?

A preview clip posted on Entertainment Weeklyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website shows the cast drinking and swearing, four-wheeling and fighting, even filling a truck with water and using it as a swimming pool.

The executive producers are Zoo Productions and J.P. Williams of Parallel Entertainment, a native West Virginian best known for creating Blue Collar Comedy.

The West Virginia Film Office denied tax credits to the producers over concerns the show would negatively portray the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s young male residents, the latest front in a continuing battle over stereotyping.

In 2002, public outcry prompted CBS to drop plans for â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Real

Don’t blame your son for the situation

Today: 6 p.m.: Ultimate Sports 8 p.m.: Spotlight 11 p.m.: Tales of the Strange

Dear Annie: My wife and I have a wonderful 3-year-old son.

We have a great home and make good money, but life stinks.

For the past year, my wife has insisted on allowing our son to sleep in our bed. And in case you're about to ask, the answer is yes, we have not been able to do the one thing that married people normally do in bed.

When my wife puts our son in his own bed, she unbuttons her shirt and lets him nurse until he falls asleep. Without fail, he wakes up before midnight and walks into our room. If I tell him to go back to his room, he starts crying, and my wife then permits him to crawl into our bed.

I went to a therapist on my own. His advice was to tell my wife, "You can sleep in our son's bed if you want it that way."

Guess what. She did.

He's the clingiest kid I ever saw, and his mom seems to need him a lot more than he needs her. I feel like I'm competing for her attention. Any advice? — N.Y. Dear N.Y.: Your wife is using her son as an excuse to avoid intimacy. This does a disservice not only to your marriage, but to your child. He is learning that if he cries, he will get whatever he wants, and that he is winning the competition for Mom's affections. And yes, she has made it more of a competition than it needs to be. Please don't blame your son for being "clingy," and try not to focus on your sexual frustration. Instead, try to get your wife to understand that her behavior is unfair to the boy.

Urge her to discuss this with her doctor, your child's pediatrician or a counselor.

Dear Annie: I've been friends with "Sue" and "Mary" for years.

Last year, I asked Sue to drive me to a cosmetic medical procedure in another state.

She agreed and also wanted the procedure. She asked me to include Mary, which meant planning the trip around Mary's work schedule.

We set tentative dates, and I made motel reservations and arranged clinic availability.

Mary kept changing her mind about coming and finally admitted that she didn't want the procedure.

When she cancelled again, Sue moved up our departure time.

Mary then reconsidered and wanted to come after all. I told her the departure time had been moved up, and she said she'd drive herself and meet us there.

Two days later, Mary sent me a letter saying she wasn't coming and lambasted me because I "didn't know what it was to be a friend." I thought we'd talk it out, but that was a year ago, and we have yet to speak.

I don't feel I owe Mary an apology. Sometimes I think she was looking for an excuse to squeeze me out of her friendship with Sue. It seems immature for a middle-aged woman to behave in such a fashion. Any suggestions?

— Three's a Crowd Dear Crowd: You don't owe her an apology, although it might help to say you are sorry that things became so complicated and difficult, and you regret that the friendship suffered as a result. And you could ask Sue to help. But frankly, after all this time, we have to assume Mary isn't interested in renewing your bond.

Dear Annie: "Confused in N.C." asked who should pay for birthday and anniversary dinners at a restaurant. Here's my solution: When inviting people to a restaurant, I make it clear that I will pay for appetizers, wine and dessert.

Guests are welcome to come whenever, and some only come for dessert, which is fine. That way, those on a budget can participate, and I don't break the bank.

Often, guests will buy a bottle of wine for the table as a birthday present. — Can't Always Entertain at Home 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

Create a safe home for your Christmas ornaments Dear Heloise: Looking for a way to pack Christmas ornaments, I found that the sturdy, divided boxes that wine comes in work great. The 12 sleeves hold a lot of ornaments and are just the right size. I put as many large ornaments as would fit in first and then filled the top with a few smaller ones so all would be secure when the lid was closed.

Small holiday candleholders, etc., wrapped in paper filled up the rest of the box. — Carol, via email Start collecting them now!

You even can spray the boxes with holiday colors so they will be easy to identify. — Heloise

Hints from Heloise Columnist SCORCH MARK Dear Heloise: Please help! I was ironing a shirt the other day and accidently scorched it a little bit. Is there anything I can do to remove the scorch marks? — A Reader, via email Depending on how bad the scorch marks are, you might be

able to “lighten” them. Use 3 percent hydrogen peroxide and a clean, white terry cloth to gently buff out the singed area.

Repeat the steps several times, and the mark should lighten.

Be sure to test a hidden area of fabric first. If the garment is heavily scorched, it may not be salvageable.

Have other stains you need help with? I have compiled a list of stain solutions in my pamphlet Heloise’s Handy Stain Guide for Clothing. To order a copy, send $5 with a long, self-addressed, stamped (65 cents) envelope to: Heloise/Stain Guide, P.O. Box

795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001. Check the care labels on all garments — the label should have ironing instructions listed. If not, the garment probably will not need ironing. — Heloise TRAVEL HINT Dear Heloise: Tired of using the toilet tissue at rest stops, we save the “end of the roll” at home. Flattened and placed in a snack-size baggie, it easily fits into pocket or purse and makes travel stops more pleasant. We keep a bag of these “handy packs” in the trunk of the car when traveling. — Mary Ellen in Mississippi

HOROSCOPE

BY FRANCES DRAKE For Saturday, Dec. 1, 2012 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Focus on home, family and domestic activities today. A conversation with a parent might be particularly significant. (“Luke, I am your father.”)

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) This is a busy day. You’ve got things to do, places to go and people to see.

Enjoy short trips, running errands and talking to everyone.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Pay attention to your cash flow and your money scene. Get a good picture of how much money you don’t have.

You might want to give some thought to looking for a different job or making money on the side.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You might be a bit more emotional than usual today because the Moon is in your sign. No worries. This happens for about two days every month.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) You’ll enjoy privacy or some moments of solitude today if you can swing it, because you need some downtime. It’s hard out there without your towel.

Have a quiet day.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Schmoozing with others will please you today. In particular, you’ll like meetings and talking to people in clubs or classes. Share your dreams for the future with someone.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Aspects of your private life likely will be public today, especially in the eyes of bosses and VIPs. If you feel guarded about something, be aware of this!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Do something different today. Go someplace you’ve never been before.

You’re hungry for adventure, and you want to learn something new!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Focus on clearly defining shared property, debt, taxes and inheritances.

Don’t leave things up to anyone’s imagination. Spell it out.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Because the Moon is opposite your sign today, you will have to go more than halfway when dealing with others. Don’t worry — in two weeks, others will go more than halfway when dealing with you!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Do what you can to become more efficient and productive. Make lists. Get the support equipment you need to help you work better. This is a good day to focus on health issues as well.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) A playful day! Do something that pleases you — perhaps watching sports or a movie, or enjoying lunch or dinner with a friend. Playful times with children will delight.

YOU BORN TODAY You have a glib humor that delights others. Furthermore, people love your sassy attitude and daring willingness to openly speak your mind. You are generous, friendly and definitely flirtatious. You’re a free spirit, which is why it’s important that you have the freedom to express yourself. You are beginning a fresh, new cycle in the year ahead. Open any door!

Big storm bears down on California, coast HAPPY CAMP, Calif.

(AP) — A big storm bearing down on California has triggered flood warnings in Siskiyou County as heavy rain falls on the far north end of the state.

The National Weather Service says that by late morning Thursday 1 inch of rain had fallen in several hours across the western side of the county.

Much of Northern California is under a variety of warnings and advisories for rain, snow and high winds.

On the coast there are gale warnings and small craft and high surf advisories.

In Southern California, rain made for a tough commute Thursday morning.

The California Highway Patrol reports nearly 200 accidents in the area, including a predawn collision in the San Fernando Valley that killed one person and injured two others.

Surf is also building on west-facing beaches.

In other storm news:

Cuomo helps speed payments to Sandy victims • ALBANY, N.Y. — Gov. Andrew Cuomo is cutting some bureaucracy to speed the payment of insurance claims to victims of Superstorm Sandy,

while also creating an online system to grade insurers.

Cuomo met with top insurance companies about the changes that should cut by more than half the time New Yorkers will have to wait for insurance adjusters.

The adjusters must inspect homes and businesses before claims can be paid to policyholders.

The governor is allowing some insurance adjusters from outside the state to obtain temporary state licenses to help address New York mountain of claims more quickly.

The state Department of Financial Services will also post online report cards that will rate insurance companies’ performance.

Cuomo announced the initiatives Thursday.

National Weather Service told the Medford Mail Tribune.

“We have a really big storm offshore that is just sending in these fronts, one after another,” Keene said.

Snow levels will remain

high, but strong winds could make for difficult travel for semitrailers in the mountain passes in Southern Oregon, he said.

Inland, the rainfall won’t be so great, but streets and roads could flood in Ashland and

Medford, Keene said.

By midmorning Thursday, the Jackson County sheriff’s office was reporting a marked increase in traffic accidents, some involving injuries.

The storm was expect-

ed to be less intense in the central and northern coasts.

Forecasts in the central coast cities Lincoln City, Newport and Yachets called for up to 2.5 inches of rain through the day today.

Heavy rain to hit Oregon coast A storm Thursday was expected to bring heavy rain to the southern Oregon coast.

Forecasters said higher elevations in Curry County could see 8 inches of rain, and Brookings along the coast could get 3 inches — raising the possibility of mudslides and debris flows.

The storm is expected to last into Friday, meteorologist Shad Keen of the

Whether posting or responding to an advertisement, watch out for offers to pay more than the advertised price for the item. Scammers will send a check and ask the seller to wire the excess through Western Union (possibly for courier fees).

The scammer's check is fake and eventually bounces and the seller loses the wired amount.

While banks and Western Union branches are trained at spotting fake checks, these types of scams are growing increasingly sophisticated and fake checks often aren't caught for weeks.

Funds wired through Western Union or MoneyGram are irretrievable and virtually untraceable.

Trojans aim for GWOC North

BY COLIN FOSTER Sports Writer cfoster@tdnpublishing.com Troy swimming coach Chris Morgan is banking on quality over quantity this season.

And Troy’s quality happens to be pretty darn good.

“We have 31 swimmers, so we’re down in numbers quite a bit from last year,” Morgan said.

STAFF FILE PHOTO/ANTHONY WEBER “We are low in numbers, but Troy’s boys lost a lot of firepower in the offseason, including Will we’ve got a chance to have a good Evans. Still, the Trojan boys are in search of the first GWOC North team. We’ve got a lot of good ones title in the program’s history, while the girls — led by state placer coming back.”

Rally falls short Red Devils fall to unbeaten Tigers

BY JOSH BROWN Sports Editor jbrown@tdnpublishing.com Tippecanoe chopped a 12point Versailles lead down to two in the first half only to see it balloon back to 17 in the third quarter, and it seemed like the Red Devils were out of gas.

So senior Erica Comer gave them a refill.

But even though Comer scored 19 of her 20 points in the second half to lead a second Red Devil rally — and even though the Tigers went a mere 1 for 8 from the free throw line late in

Dalton better since challenge Andy Dalton’s demeanor hasn’t changed since coach Marvin Lewis challenged him to become more of a leader, even if it meant going against his character and being a jerk sometimes.

The quarterback’s numbers, though, have gotten much better.

TROY

TIPP CITY the fourth quarter, missing an opportunity to put the game away — Versailles simply had built too big a lead with its size and power on the interior, hanging on for dear life to remain unbeaten with a 65-62 victory Thursday at Pat Wampler Gymnasium.

Comer — the Devils’ returning leading scorer from last season — was held to only one firsthalf point, and Versailles’ Christa Puthoff abused Tippecanoe in the paint, helping the Tigers (3-0) rebuild a 49-32 lead late in the third quarter.

But Comer scored the final four points of the third for the Devils (1-1) and the first two of Tippecanoe’s Carly Clodfelter (20) chases down a loose ball as teammate Chelsea Clawson (30) looks on Thursday against ■ See DEVILS on 18 Versailles.

Angie Mack and Abby Cash were able to outscore the Trojans on their own by putting up 19 and 16 points, respectively.

“It was a good game to open the season,” Miami East coach Preston Elifritz said. “We got some kids in, we shot the ball well and we were able to execute off defense to create easy buckets.”

Miami East (1-0, 1-0 CCC) will play Saturday at home against Troy.

Miami East — 78 Angie Mack 6-4-19, Sam Skidmore 10-3, Renee Deford 3-0-6, Ellie Gearhart 00-0, Madison Linn 5-1-13, Ashley Current 2-1-5, Trina Current 5-2-12, Abby Cash 62-16, Leah Dunivan 2-0-4. Totals: 30-1078.

■ NHL

No hope in sight for NHL NEW YORK (AP) — The NHL, the players’ association and now even federal mediators agree on one thing: the bickering sides are nowhere near a deal that would put hockey back on the ice.

The league and the union wrapped up two days of talks on Thursday in New Jersey, with help from mediators, but moved no closer to a solution to save the hockey season that has already been delayed and shortened.

Two members from the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service joined the discussions on Wednesday AND Thursday but couldn’t bring the sides any closer.

“After spending several hours with both sides over two days, the presiding mediators concluded that the parties remained far apart, and that no progress toward a resolution could be made through further mediation at this point in time,” NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly said in a statement. “We are disappointed that the mediation process was not successful.”

The players’ association was expected to comment later.

The bottom line is that, 75 days into the owners’ lockout of players, there is no end in sight. The lockout has already forced the cancellation of games through Dec. 14, the New Year’s Day Winter Classic, and the All-Star weekend in January.

NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman offered the union a meeting that would consist of only owners and players without the presence of leaders on both sides of the dispute Daly told The Associated Press in an email. He added that the union was considering the proposal and would get back to the league.

Lots at stake in MAC title game

Roundup

DETROIT (AP) — The M i d - A m e r i c a n Conference championship game this year has a lot more at stake than usual.

It’s a showcase for two Top 25 teams on long winning streaks and there may even be BCS implications.

When No. 18 Kent State takes on No. 19 Northern Illinois on Friday night at Ford Field, it will be the first time two MAC teams in the Top 25 have faced each other since Ben Roethlisberger was playing in the conference. The winner could end up in the Orange Bowl, which would be unheard of for either program.

Kent State coach Darrell Hazell is trying not to look ahead too far, but his counterpart is soaking up the hype.

“It gives you a chance to potentially do what Boise (State) did a number of years ago when they beat Oklahoma,” Northern Illinois coach Dave Doeren said. “Not that we could pull off the same feat, but we would try, and I think that’s what we want. We want that opportunity.”

The Huskies (11-1) would have an outside shot at a BCS bowl bid if they win Friday, but Kent State (11-1) would be in even better position.

Under BCS rules, if a champion from a conference without an automatic bid, such as the MAC,

ranks in the top 16 of the final BCS standings and is ranked higher than a champion from one of the AQ leagues, such as the Big East, the non-AQ champ is guaranteed a spot in the BCS. Big East-leading Rutgers wasn’t ranked in last week’s BCS standings. Kent State was 17th and could move up with a victory. UCLA is 16th and has to play Stanford in the Pac-12 title game on Friday night.

“I’ll leave that for the experts to decide,” Hazell said. “I think it adds a little flavor that both teams are in the Top 25, but we’ll worry about where we go bowl-wise after Friday night.”

The last time two MAC teams in the Top 25 played each other was when Roethlisberger and Miami of Ohio beat Bowling Green in the 2003 conference title game, according to STATS LLC. And these two teams are rolling.

Northern Illinois has won 11 games in a row, Kent State 10 straight.

Both went unbeaten in MAC play while winning their divisions, and this title game could bring some welcome publicity to the league.

“It’s well-deserved and well-earned attention,” said Jon Steinbrecher, the conference commissioner.

“I think it’s a reflection of the depth and strength of the league.”

New Bremen 51, Troy Christian 30 NEW BREMEN — New Bremen’s pressure defense proved to be too much for Troy Christian as the Eagles fell to the Cardinals 51-30 Thursday night.

“We started out playing inspired ball in the first three quarters,” Troy Christian coach Dick Steineman said. “Their pressure just got to us in the last quarter.”

Amanda Benjamin led the Eagles with 13 points.

Morgan Haddad added seven, Lydia Demmitt scored six points and Amanda Sloan chipped in four.

The victorious Cardinals were led by Hayle Moeller’s 14 points.

Despite the loss, Steineman is happy with his team’s effort.

“We’re going to see a lot of that with how small we are,” Jackson said of the size difference. “We’re going to have to play a fullcourt game every night and use our speed. But we’ll get there.”

Tippecanoe finishes its three-game homestand to begin the season Monday against Stebbins to open up Central Buckeye Conference Kenton Trail Division play.

Trojans The Troy girls were denied a GWOC North Division title for the first time in over five years last season. If the Trojans want to reclaim that title, this would be their year.

The Orozco sisters, Zelnick and Brumfield all received GWOC North honors last season. Cassie Rice, Meredith and Lindsey Orozco all reached the district meet a season ago.

As for the boys team, they are in search of their first GWOC North title in the program’s history.

In order to do that, though, both teams must get quality contributions from those stepping in to fill the voids left behind.

“We have a great freshman class coming in, a couple of good boys,” Morgan said. “I think there are going to be some young people that surprise you. “I look for good things from our young swimmers.”

“We need that from her every night,” Tippecanoe coach Aaron Jackson said of Comer. “She needs to be more selective of her shots, because when she lets the shots come to her, she cans them. She played with confidence.”

Tippecanoe’s Halee Printz is fouled while shooting Thursday night against Versailles.

“That’s one of the keys to this team,” Jackson said.

“That was one of the reasons we got into the hole in the first place — because we weren’t playing with enough energy. At the end of the third and beginning of the fourth, that’s when we started playing 100 percent — and it showed.”

But that was as close as Tippecanoe could get.

CINCINNATI (AP) — Andy Dalton’s demeanor hasn’t changed since coach Marvin Lewis challenged him to become more of a leader, even if it meant going against his character and being a jerk sometimes.

The quarterback’s numbers, though, have gotten much better.

The Bengals have won three of the four games since Lewis publicly challenged Dalton to lead the offense and middle linebacker Rey Maualuga to take charge of the defense.

Cincinnati has won three in a row by at least 18 points its best streak of blowouts since 1976 and the two players have given their finest performances.

Lewis considers his unusual challenge a success.

“Their play is hopefully a byproduct of the reinforcement of their abilities that I gave them, the empowerment of their abilities, and the ‘at-a-boys’ to move forward but take control of it

all,” Lewis said.

The Bengals (6-5) are tied with Pittsburgh for the final AFC wild card berth heading into a game Sunday at San Diego (4-7).

In the four games since Lewis put him on the spot, Dalton has improved his performance significantly.

He threw for 13 touchdowns and 10 interceptions in the first seven games, a passer rating of 87.7 that would be slightly better than average.

Since Lewis’ challenge, he has completed 62 percent of his passes with 10 touchdowns, only one interception and a 105.7 passer rating. His personality is the same, but the numbers are much different.

“You know what? I don’t see Andy as a changed player,” offensive coordinator Jay Gruden said. “I think Andy is always going to be Andy. He’s going to lead by example and he’s a very competitive guy, but he’s not a very vocal guy. But I just think his sense of urgency has picked up a little bit.”
