Council approves agency funding

Zoning issues reviewed at council meeting On a night that began with a public hearing on two proposed changes, zoning issues took top priority at Monday night’s Covington Village Council meeting. The first issue addressed at the public hearing, which began an hour before the 7 p.m. regular meeting, was an ordinance to change the zoning of 2600 Mote Drive (on the corner of State Route 41) from I-1 industrial to neighborhood business. The change is being requested to accommodate the proposed opening of a doctor’s office in part of the former Remedi Pharmacy complex.

‘Tis the season of giving — and St. Patrick Catholic School kicked off the holiday season in a big way with a large food donation for the soup kitchen in their front yard. More than 600 TROY pounds of food was collected by the students. On Monday, sixth grade students in Diane Hoying’s class and seventh grade students helped deliver the food to the St. Patrick’s Soup Kitchen. According to St. Patrick Catholic School’s Principal Cyndi Cathcart, the school’s goal was 500 pounds, which the students generously exceeded with incentives such as a “blue jeans day” to commend their efforts. “We all have plenty, so we told the students ‘Let’s give back to those who don’t have food on their tables like we do,’” Hoying said as sixthand seventh-grade students carried boxes overflowing with non-perishable food items for the soup kitchen. According to St. Patrick’s Soup Kitchen’s director Dick Steineman, more than 2,000 meals are served a month at the facility. “We just really appreciative of the students’ generosity,” Steineman said. “These young people have the ability to see the need in their own community and have given generously together as a school. We just really appreciate their donations which will help others in their community.” Steineman said the 68 seat facili-

For men and women in the U.S. Armed Forces, that touch of home is especially important during the holidays. “Every so often, (a service member) will say, ‘I’ve never needed Red Cross for emergency services, but I received a card through the Red Cross and it made my day,’” said Scott Miller, executive director of the Northern Miami Valley chapter.

Ohio court gets answers in flood compensation case Giving COLUMBUS (AP) — The Ohio Supreme Court has heard from both sides in a case involving compensation for a group of landowners for their losses from flooding near Ohio’s largest inland lake. The court ruled a year ago that the state Department of Natural Resources was required to

compensate 87 landowners near Grand Lake St. Marys in western Ohio. Lawyers for the landowners allege the state has been dragging its feet ever since. Michael Stokes, an assistant Ohio attorney general, told the court it’s been difficult to find appraisers qualified to work on the case. And it’s taking time for the five hired by the state to do the job properly. Attorney Bruce Ingram, representing the landowners, said plenty of qualified appraisers are available and the state’s argument is a red herring.

Ann Pannapara, 11, of Troy, said collecting cans was a small act of kindness to help provide for those in need. “We all need food to survive and there’s people out there in our town who don’t have it like we do and we need to share with others,” Pannapara said. “We broke the record once they told us we could wear jeans someday soon,” said Aidan Snyder, 12, of Troy. “It’s nice to be able to have a day out of uniform.” Elliot Gilaridi, and Lauren Ray, both 11 years old and from Troy, said they enjoyed weighing the food to see how close they were

We are Catholics and it’s good to help. When you give to others it feels great.” “Counting all the cans and weighing all the food was my favorite part,” Gilaridi said. “It was neat to see us get close and then exceed our goal we set for ourselves — it kept getting higher and higher.” Dalton Black said he liked helping to carry the food over to the soup kitchen after the food drive

ended. “I liked helping those in need, even if it’s just a couple cans of food. A little can go a long way,” Black said. The school also is participating in the Samaritan’s Purse’s Operation Christmas Child, which yielded more than 102 shoe boxes for needy children in third world countries around the world. The school also donated more than 20 coats for the Miami County Sheriff’s Office annual “Operation Coverup” for children who need warm coats for the Ohio winters.

Covington Council addresses zoning issues BY TOM MILLHOUSE Ohio Community Media tmillhouse@dailycall.com On a night that began with a public hearing on two proposed changes, zoning issues took top priority at Monday night’s Covington Village Council meeting. The first issue addressed at the public hearing, which began an hour before the 7 p.m. regular meeting, was an ordinance to change the zoning of 2600 Mote Drive (on the corner of State Route 41) from I-1 industrial to neighborhood business. The change is being requested to accommodate the proposed opening of a doctor’s office in part of the former Remedi Pharmacy complex. Village Administrator Mike Busse said about $200,000 in renovations are expected to be completed on the building, which will initially house Dr. J. Christopher Peters’ practice, with the possibility of other doctors also locating in the office. The building is owned by Joe Bob Properties. Busse said adjoining property owners were notified of the proposed change, which was recommended for approval by the Planning and Zoning Board. “No one has approached me with any opposition,� Busse said. The second zoning issue involved the amendment of central business district regulations to include general contractor’s offices as a conditional use. John

COVINGTON Schilling, who attended the meeting, plans to locate the office of his business, JOS Contracting, at 14. S. High St. Councilman Marc Basye raised concerns about whether the village will have control over the property to ensure that equipment is not left sitting out since it is in the downtown district. Busse and Councilman Scott Tobias, who is on the Planning and Zoning Board, said stipulations to prevent such problems will be spelled out in the conditional use permit that Schilling will be required to obtain. The issue will go back to the Planning and Zoning Board for the granting of the permit. Councilman Tim Angle agreed that it is important that everything is “spelled out� so that all parties know what is permitted. During the regular meeting, council approved both zoning-related ordinances. Council also approved one-year contracts with the Covington Fire Department and Covington Rescue Squad to provide services for village residents. The fire department will be paid $100,000 for 2013, while the rescue squad contract calls for payment of $91,801. Mayor Ed McCord noted the amounts are the same as the village paid this year. Council reviewed proposed goals for

2013. Subject to action at the Dec. 17 meeting, the goals are: start a sidewalk program; complete the wastewater plant study and formulate an action plan; replace approximately 250 water meters with radio-read meters; revise the village website to provide residents with better access to forms and regulations; continue the wastewater infiltration and inflow study; update infrastructure maps; complete the Spring Street Phase I design; work with the Planning and Zoning Board to revise zoning regulations and complete the preliminary design for the bike path project. In his administrator’s report, Busse advised council that the new utility billing software has been implemented. “We have experienced some minor issues, but we are correcting these as we become aware of them,� Busse said, noting the village hopes to be able to accept credit card payments by February. Busse also reported the Covington Chamber of Commerce has ordered new signs to be placed at the corporation limits. McCord commended Busse for his work in designing the new signs. Trash pickup for the the weeks of Christmas and New Year’s will be delayed two days, according to Busse. The collection will be done Wednesday through Friday. Busse also advised council references are being checked for the top three prospective engineering firms for the wastewater treatment plant study. In other business council:

busy trying to get re-elected that he ignored the many requests by our ambassador, Christopher Stevens, for protection as he was afraid for his life. The results were his death and that of several Marines who were told to “stand down.” When they ignored the stand down order in an attempt to save the ambassador, they sacrificed their lives to protect our embassy, which is actually considered to be a part of the United States. I am sure the parents of

these boys killed due to the negligence of our Commanderin-Chief are not happy with our government or Barack Obama. I think it’s the duty of our news organizations, television and radio to bring the truth to light and quit covering up this tragedy. Let’s take the pawn, Susan Rice, off the hot seat and give the chair to our Commanderin-Chief Obama.

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 The Cullman (Ala.) Times on wasted time in Washington: While the United States teeters on the financial cliff, more attention is being given to the lurid extramarital affairs of military and government leaders than the more pressing problems facing the nation. Sure, there is concern that David Petraeus, as director of the Central Intelligence Agency, may have dropped a few secrets during his affair with the woman who penned his biography. And Brig. Gen. Jeffrey Sinclair’s wife, Rebecca, has appeared on a television show to bemoan the Army life that leads husbands and wives to have affairs. There’s also the case of Gen. John Allen, who some officials accuse of sending suggestive emails to a Florida woman. OK, we get it. The scum rises regularly in society. Men and women cheat, but other than those who are involved in these tangled affairs does anyone really care to know the details or care to listen to the shameless characters blabber about their shortcomings? The American obsession with pitiful personal details is becoming absurd. Let’s move a little closer to the fiscal cliff and focus on what economists warn could be an economic catastrophe at the turn of the year. … Vast amounts of time are wasted in Washington and by the media on learning the details of personal failures of high-profile characters. Once the garbage is spilled, not much of it has any real consequence concerning national security, and certainly no bearing on the state of the economy. Congressional leaders have enjoyed plenty of recreation with the presidential election and all the trimmings that go with a year of campaigning. It’s time now to turn away from the trappings of sensational stories and focus on the future of the country. The Seattle Times on FCC media-ownership rules: The Federal Communications Commission appears intent on weakening media-ownership rules and compounding the mistake by ignoring its own troubling findings. The commission’s first-ever review, released Nov. 14, found the ownership of broadcast radio and television stations by women and minorities to be at single-digit percentages. The FCC wants to aggravate this extraordinary lack of diversity by allowing the consolidation of newspapers and television stations or radio stations in the 20 largest markets. The FCC found white ownership increased while minority ownership eroded. Blacks owned 1 percent of all commercial-television stations in 2007, and 0.7 percent in 2011. Asian ownership was at a half percent in 2011. Latino ownership increased a fraction to 2.9 percent. Female ownership of TV stations went from 5.6 percent to 6.8 percent. These statistics shape news gathering and journalism, access to the airwaves and the mix of views available and presented. Efforts by the FCC to weaken media-ownership rules have been knocked down by public opinion, Congress and the courts in the past. In 2011 the commission was directed by a federal appeals court to conduct a survey. For the FCC’s narrow purposes that box has been checked, because it wants to proceed without holding public hearings or formal reviews of the findings. Craig Aaron, president of media watchdog Free Press, raised a pointed question: “Why is the FCC contemplating a giveaway to the nation’s largest media conglomerates when the rest of the industry has turned away from the failed consolidation model?” For a plan with no public support or purpose, Aaron notes, “… the main beneficiaries of this change would be News Corp.’s Rupert Murdoch and Tribune Co.’s Sam Zell.” America is enriched by the diversity represented in its politics, media and culture. The FCC is moving in the opposite direction.

Costas missed the boat on gun commentary There's a reason that halftime of NFL broadcasts is usually reserved for game analysis and highlights, rather than social science. NBC announcer Bob Costas showed why with a little sermonette during the Philadelphia Eagles-Dallas Cowboys game Sunday night. Just a day earlier, Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Jovan Belcher shot and killed his girlfriend before driving to the Chiefs' practice facility and shooting and killing himself in front of the team's head coach and general manager. During halftime of "Football Night in America," which is not to be confused with "Monday Night Football" or "Thursday Night Football," Costas referred to Belcher's shocking murder-suicide as "nearly unfathomable." He then proceeded to fathom it in terms of a cliched gun-control fable. Costas quoted approvingly sportswriter Jason Whitlock's argument that "our current gun culture simply ensures that more and more domestic disputes will end in the ultimate tragedy." Costas is an extraordinary and justly acclaimed broadcaster, who apparently hasn't spared a

Jay Lowry Troy Daily News Guest Columnist moment's reflection to the longrunning argument over guns in our society. If he had, he wouldn't have treated such tripe as priceless words of wisdom. A Gallup survey last year found that 47 percent of adults have a gun in their home or on their property, the highest figure since 1993. Yet, as of 2005, the number of intimate homicides had steadily declined since 1993, according to the Bureau of Justice Statistics. Overall, domestic violence has dropped by more than 60 percent since 1993. That is not to deny that the presence of a gun makes a violent relationship much more dangerous. But what set of laws could possibly deny a gun to Jovan Belcher, who had no crimi-

nal record and was touted as a model NFL player, without denying them to the vast majority of gun owners who will never do harm to anyone? It is already illegal for someone convicted of domestic violence to own a firearm. Costas left out the most powerful part of Whitlock's commentary, which was an excoriating attack on the NFL for letting the Chiefs' regularly scheduled game be played the very next day after the killings. Nothing to see here — except more football. Nearly simultaneously with Belcher's murder-suicide, Boston University researchers published a study that found, in the words of a Reuters report, "years of hits to the head in football or other contact sports lead to a distinct pattern of brain damage that begins with an athlete having trouble focusing and can eventually progress to aggression and dementia." It is apparently not big hits to the head that bring on the condition, called chronic traumatic encephalopathy, but a diet of small blows. This phenomenon may have absolutely nothing to do with Belcher's crime. But the question

will be asked, and yet more attention will focus on the issue of brain injuries. The league is already getting sued by thousands of former players and their relatives for not taking brain injuries seriously enough. The game is so hugely entertaining that it is hard to see it ever losing ground in American life — unless people eventually come to believe our viewing pleasure isn't worth the price exacted from the players. If Costas really wanted to issue a jeremiad in the aftermath of the Belcher killings, perhaps it should have been directed at the vastly profitable football-industrial complex of which he is a small part. In keeping with his view expressed in the past that the NFL is "unacceptably brutal," he could have said: "As I stand here, I, too, profit from a game that depends on men doing violence to one another with effects we still don't fully understand." But that would have hit too close to home, and the third quarter beckoned.

OBITUARIES

LOWELL RICHARD KUNTZ COVINGTON — Lowell Richard Kuntz was born Sept. 25, 1959, at Dettmer Hospital near Troy. He went to be with his Lord on Sunday, Dec. 2, 2012, at home surrounded by his loving family, at the age of 53 years, 2 months and 7 days. He married his loving wife Sandra King of KUNTZ Elida, on Oct. 12, 1986. They have made their home on Springhill Farm, near Covington, since 1990. He is deeply loved and will be greatly missed by his wife, children, Jay and (Joelle) of Covington, Beth Ann of Findlay and Jeff, at home. He also is survived by his parents, Roger and Martha Kuntz of Covington; five siblings, Michael (Karen) Kuntz of Covington, Susan (John) Kelley of Modesto, Calif., Karla (Matt) Weaver of Gettysburg, Melinda (Andrew) Lair of Casstown, and Eldon (Janice) of Covington. His one-year-old grandson, Conner Jay Kuntz, brought him much joy. In 1981, Lowell was bap-

tized and joined the Old German Baptist Brethren Church near Covington. Later, he attended and in 2002 joined Unity Church of Dayton, where he served as an usher. Lowell always enjoyed fellowshipping with a variety of God’s children, honoring all paths to God. Lowell graduated from Upper Valley JVS and Covington High School in 1977. His dreams of farming were cut short by health challenges. But as his health improved, he labored steadily for about 24 years at Crayex Corporation in Piqua, where he worked in plastic production, and later fulfilled another dream of his by driving a truck. He always wanted to die with his boots on, and he passed exactly two months after his last trucking trip. In 1992, Lowell started Spring Hill Skid Company Inc. and enjoyed many years of pallet recycling. Even during his last days, he received fulfillment from managing the skid company. When he was 13, he was

MARY ELIZABETH BERCHTOLD first diagnosed with cancer and battled this many years. As a result of this, he often spoke of how fulfilling his life was, “living on bonus time,” by being able to marry the love of his life, raising a family, and seeing his first grandchild. He was a compassionate man with a gentle and loving spirit who will be dearly missed by all who knew him. He lived his life fully and with an eternal perspective, blessing others and looking forward to the day when he could meet his Savior, Jesus Christ. We rejoice knowing he is at peace and take comfort in Revelation 21:4, “God will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.” Visitation was from 3-5 p.m. and 6-8 p.m. Tuesday at the Old German Baptist Brethren Church, located at 6360 W. Farrington Road, Covington. The memorial and open mic service will be held at 10 a.m. today at the church, with a shared meal following the service.

A team of 17 Hamot doctors, nurses and technicians gathered in an operating room to help Henry deliver the girls by cesarean section. “It was a huge room, the most brightly lit room I had ever seen,� Chad Henry said. “The energy in that room was unbelievable.� A team, including a nurse practitioner and respiratory therapist, was created to care for each baby as she was delivered.

ERIE, Pa. (AP) — Michelle and Chad Henry had to look at their baby daughters’ feet if they wanted to know which one they were holding. For the first few weeks after identical triplets Sophia, Olivia and Emma were born June 26 at UPMC Hamot, the only way their Millcreek Township parents could identify them was by the color of their toenails. “We painted their toenails different colors to tell them apart,� said Michelle Henry, 29. “But it didn’t take us long to notice the differences.� The increased use of fertilization drugs has made triplets a more common occurrence at hospitals across the country. But identical triplets are another matter. Identical triplets are so rare that experts disagree about how often they occur. Some sources cite the odds at 1 in every 160,000 births, while others estimate it happens just once in every 200 million births. “All I know is that I can’t remember seeing a set of identical triplets at Hamot, and I’ve been here 39 years,� said Emily Hirsch, unit director of the neonatal intensive care unit at UPMC Hamot Women’s Hospital. The Henrys didn’t know they were having triplets until Michelle Henry had a routine sonogram 12 weeks into her pregnancy. The couple had married in November 2011 and found out she was pregnant a month later. “Multiple births were on my mind,� said Michelle Henry, who did not take fertility drugs. “I’m an identical twin, and my grandfather is a triplet, so it runs in my family.� Still, they were shocked when the doctor performing the sonogram located

PHOENIX (AP) — A U.S. Border Patrol agent has been arrested after authorities say he used his patrol vehicle to smuggle drugs while on duty in southwest Arizona, according to a federal complaint. Aaron Anaya was on patrol Sunday evening when he stopped along the international border, then loaded up several bundles of marijuana that had been dropped over the fence from Mexico, according to the complaint filed this week in federal court in Arizona. Agents assigned to the Southwest Border Corruption Task Force had been conducting aerial surveillance in the area between Yuma and Wellton, about 185 miles southwest of Phoenix, when they spotted Anaya stop along the fence and retrieve the bundles, the complaint states. It does not say whether Anaya was the target of the initial surveillance or merely observed during the overall operation. Authorities say the task force continued to track Anaya for several hours as he appeared to return to normal patrol duties. The complaint says the agent was later arrested with nearly 147 pounds of marijuana found in three black duffel bags in his Border Patrol vehicle. He is charged with possession with intent to distribute marijuana and carrying a firearm his service weapons while committing the crime. Asked if he was willing to speak to investigators, Anaya responded with an expletive, then said, “You guys got me on video,� before asking for an attorney, according to the complaint. Anaya’s federal public defender didn’t immediately return a telephone message Tuesday.

Genetic salmon may never end up on plate WASHINGTON (AP) — Salmon that’s been genetically modified to grow twice as fast as normal could soon show up on your dinner plate. That is, if the company that makes the fish can stay afloat. After weathering concerns about everything from the safety of humans eating the salmon to their impact on the environment, Aquabounty was poised to become the world’s first company to sell fish whose DNA has been altered to speed up growth. The Food and Drug Administration in 2010 concluded that Aquabounty’s salmon was as safe to eat as the traditional variety. The agency also said that there’s little chance that the salmon could escape and breed with wild fish, which could disrupt the fragile relationships between plants and animals in nature. But more than two years later the FDA has not approved the fish, and Aquabounty is running out of money. “It’s threatening our very survival,” says CEO Ron Stotish, chief executive of the Maynard, Mass.based company. “We only have enough money to survive until January 2013, so we have to raise more. But the unexplained delay has made raising money very difficult.” The FDA says it’s still working on the final piece of its review, a report on the potential environmental impact of the salmon that must be published for comment before an approval can be issued. That means a final decision could be months, even years away. While the delay could mean that the faster-growing salmon will never wind up on American dinner tables,

there’s more at stake than seafood. Aquabounty is the only U.S. company publicly seeking approval for a genetically-modified animal that’s raised to be eaten by humans. And scientists worry that its experience with the FDA’s lengthy review process could discourage other U.S. companies from investing in animal biotechnology, or the science of manipulating animal DNA to produce a desirable trait. That would put the U.S. at a disadvantage at a time when China, India and other foreign governments are pouring millions of dollars each year into the potentially lucrative field that could help reduce food costs and improve food safety. Already, biotech scientists are changing their plans to avoid getting stuck in FDA-related regulatory limbo. Researchers at the University of California, Davis have transferred an experimental herd of genetically-engineered goats that produce proteinenriched milk to Brazil, due to concerns about delays at the FDA. And after investors raised concerns about the slow pace of the FDA’s Aquabounty review, Canadian researchers in April pulled their FDA application for a biotech pig that would produce environmentally-friendly waste. “The story of Aquabounty is disappointing because everyone was hoping the company would be a clear signal that genetic modification in animals is now acceptable in the U.S.,” said Professor Helen Sang, a geneticist at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland who is working to develop genetically modi-

Man’s hobby is training pigeons PIERRE, S.D. (AP) — Jeff Monroe says he’s always being a “bird man.” “When I go pheasant hunting I would rather go chase them down than shoot them down,” said the Pierre chiropractor and state senator about his interest in fowl. And 46 years ago, while in the sixth grade, Monroe’s inclination toward avian kind led him to join the large pigeon racing club in his native Omaha, Neb. He quickly acquired a few birds and started a lifelong hobby of raising homing pigeons. The club raced pigeons from various cities, and over the years Monroe had birds fly back from places such as Denver, Colo., Laramie, Wyo., and Dallas, Texas, in competitions with between 500 to 3,000 pigeons. Today his coop is relatively small, only 20 pigeons, but that’s partly because of predation by owls and hawks. In addition his practice, the South Dakota Legislature and family responsibilities have kept him from growing it for the moment, he said. Still, when he can, he’ll drive out of town and let his birds find their way back to him. Training homing pigeons is a matter of taking them farther and farther afield from home and releasing them, he said. Many trainers start by going a few blocks, then a few miles, then 10, 50, 100 and 200 miles. Monroe, however, said he prefers a more direct route. “What I do, it just sorts them out a lot faster. I just take them to Sioux Falls and let them go. I don’t do the incremental stuff,” he said. The reason, he said, is that, even at 100 miles

Also, with any distance under 250 miles most birds will make it home. Monroe said the homing instinct was bred into the species over the past 6,000 to 7,000 years. In fact, pigeons are thought to be one of the first domesticated birds, he said. “If you don’t find people generally you won’t find pigeons,” he said. Monroe said pigeons also have a long history of military use. In fact, for many years the birds were standard gear for British military paratroopers. “When they bailed out of the airplane they had a little barrel on the front of their chest; they all had a pigeon with them,” he said. Monroe said there are

myriad stories about homing pigeons saving people, including the Lost Battalion of World War I. The story goes that the 77th Division was stuck behind enemy lines and, because of miscommunication, was suffering from friendly fire. The Germans shot down several pigeons with messages before the battalion’s last pigeon made it through to command, despite being shot in the breast and losing an eye and a leg. The successful pigeon, Cher Ami, was later stuffed and is still on display in the Smithsonian. Today homing pigeons are mainly used for racing. In the U.S. there are large clubs in states such as New Jersey, California and Florida, but that is nothing compared with foreign races, Monroe said. In countries such as Belgium and South Africa, there are races with upwards of 150,000 birds flying more than 2,000 miles, and winners take home millions of dollars. The upper floor of houses will be turned into pigeon lofts and racing will bring in part of a family’s income, he said. “In Belgium the kids race pigeons like they play baseball in the United States,” Monroe said.

Biotech scientists say that genetic manipulation is a proven way to reduce disease and enrich plants and animals, raising productivity and increasing the global food supply. Genetically modified corn, cotton and soybeans account for more than fourfifths of those crops grown in the U.S., according to the National Academies of Sciences. But there have always been critics who are wary of tinkering with the genes of living animals. They say the risk is too great that modified organisms can escape into the wild and breed with native species. Not that we don’t already eat genetically altered animals. Researchers say the centuries-old practice of selective breeding is its own form of genetic engineering, producing the plumper cows, pigs and poultry we eat today. “You drive a hybrid car because you want the most efficient vehicle you can have. So why wouldn’t you want the most efficient agriculture you can have?” asks Alison Van Eenennaam, a professor of science at animal University of California, Davis. Aquabounty executives say their aim is to make the U.S. fish farming industry, or aquaculture, more efficient, environmentally friendly and profitable.

Everyone Is Important In the United States, communities do not become successful just because of government actions. In every community, actions of individual citizens play an important role. Some of those actions are connected to government, such as voting in national, state and local elections. Others are simply the work of people who choose to become involved, be active in their neighborhoods and make things better for their children, neighbors and others.

Talk to your mother about the issue

Today: 5 p.m.: Miami Valley Community Calendar 6 p.m.: Ultimate Sports 8 p.m.: Legislative Update

Dear Annie: I am 55 and the oldest of three siblings. We had a close, happy family until my father died unexpectedly six years ago. After the funeral, I saw my mother sitting with my sister, "Nina," and her insurance agent, having everything changed to Nina's name. It used to be in mine. My mother is of completely sound mind. Since Dad passed, however, she has allowed Nina to control her life. My sister handles all of her finances and won't discuss them with my brother or me. Although Mom and I used to go places together, she now won't get in my car for any reason, not even to attend church. Nina's family has my mother buffaloed into thinking they are the only ones who care about her. My brother and I feel like outcasts. Unlike Nina, we are quite successful and don't need anything from Mom. I love my mother, Annie, but she pushes me away. This morning, I went to have tea with her, as I do every day, and she was whispering into the phone to Nina with her hand over her mouth so I wouldn't overhear. I try to remain a good daughter, but my feelings are so hurt. I know Nina would love it if I stopped visiting. Why would a parent choose a favorite like this? — Used To Be Her Daughter Dear Used To Be: While you say your mother is of "sound mind," you could be wrong. The sudden death of her husband could have sent her into a tailspin of depression, anxiety and confusion. Your sister exploited this, but Mom may have been so grateful that Nina took over that she submitted totally and now fears alienating her in any way. When you visit Mom for morning tea, please talk to her about this. Don't mention Nina, which will turn it into a competition and force Mom to defend your sister. Simply tell her you love her and worry that she is pushing you away. Ask how to improve your relationship so it doesn't disintegrate. Dear Annie: I am perplexed as to what to do. I'm positive that my wife was a victim of incest, but I don't know how to broach the subject or how to help her. Her sister manifests similar problems that I've heard are caused by rape by one's father. But I don't have any hard evidence, only a hunch. What can I do? How do you open such a discussion? — G. Dear G.: Signs of incest do not distinguish between abuse by one's father as opposed to one's uncle, brother, stepparent or other trusted relative or friend. Signs can include flashbacks, nightmares, memory issues, anxiety disorders, self-mutilation, an inability to form relationships, sexual dysfunction, eating disorders, and drug or alcohol abuse, among others. We don't know what specifically makes you believe your wife and her sister have been victims of incest, but please contact RAINN (rainn.org) at 1-800-656-HOPE for additional information and assistance. Dear Annie: "Mike's" letter explaining how important interaction is with a terminal cancer patient made me weep for all the times I did nothing. Thank you so much for printing it. Caregivers of those patients should be urged to use hospice as soon as the inevitable is made known. I lost my husband to cancer 12 years ago. I thought I should do everything myself for as long as I could, but now I know that hospice would have made it so much easier for him, as well as for me. Hospice staff know exactly what to do and when to do it. Sorry to say, there were times when I did not. — Moving Forward Now Annie's Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

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

Tortilla strips — a new partner for chicken Dear Heloise: I have read the Heloise column since it was first published in the Lubbock (Texas) Avalanche-Journal, and I have appreciated and used many of your hints. The last time I made my “famous” (family) recipe of chicken with dumplings, I substituted strips of tortillas instead of mixing up my recipe, only adding a dash more salt and pepper to the broth. They went over big-time, and cooked without falling apart! Now that’s my “new” recipe, and everyone loves it! — Wynelle C., Post, Texas What a great substitute hint! We love our flour tortillas here

Hints from Heloise Columnist in San Antonio! Soups are a great meal on a cold day, and are one of my favorite things to cook. I have compiled my Heloise’s Spectacular Soups pamphlet, which you can receive by sending $5 and a long, self-addressed, stamped (65 cents) envelope to: Heloise/Soups, P.O. Box 795001,

San Antonio, TX 78279-5001. Have you made soup that had fat on the surface? Remove from the heat and add a couple of ice cubes. Scoop out the ice cubes, and the fat will come out along with them! — Heloise TEST YOUR HINT IQ Dear Readers: What is ratatouille? A) A type of sausage B) A blend of herbs and spices C) A vegetable stew D) A type of pasta The answer is C! It is a vegetable stew that originated in the Provence region of France. Ratatouille is made from eggplant, zucchini, onions, bell

peppers, tomatoes and seasonings (such as garlic and basil). The ingredients are cooked until tender, usually starting with just one or two in the pan. Additional vegetables are added until they are all together, simmering in the mixture of vegetable juices. It can be used as a side dish or eaten as a meal. Typically served at room temperature, this dish also can be eaten hot out of the oven or after being chilled in the refrigerator. Delicious at any temperature and at any time! — Heloise

WASHINGTON (AP) — Bluster and hot rhetoric aside, the White House and House Republicans have identified areas of significant overlap that could form the basis for a final agreement after “fiscal cliff ” posturing gives way to hard bargaining. Both sides now concede that tax revenue and reductions in entitlement spending are essential elements of any deal. If the talks succeed, it probably will be because House Speaker John Boehner yields on raising tax rates for top earners and the White House bends on how to reduce spending on Medicare and accepts some changes in Social Security. The White House and Boehner kept up the ridicule of each other’s negotiating stances on Tuesday. But beneath the tough words were the possible makings of a deal that could borrow heavily from a nearbargain last year during debt-limit negotiations. Then, Obama was willing to reduce cost-of-living increases for Social Security beneficiaries and increase the eligibility age for Medicare, as Boehner and other top Republicans have demanded. On

Tuesday, Obama did not shut the door on Republican ideas on such entitlement programs. “I’m prepared to make some tough decisions on some of these issues,” Obama said, “but I can’t ask folks who are, you know, middle class seniors who are on Medicare, young people who are trying to get student loans to go to college, I can’t ask them to sacrifice and not ask anything of higher income folks.” “I’m happy to entertain other ideas that the Republicans may present,” he added in an interview with Bloomberg Television. At the core, the negotiations center on three key points: whether tax rates for upper income taxpayers should go up, how deeply to cut spending on entitlements such as Medicare and how to deal with raising the government’s borrowing limit early next year. White House spokesman Jay Carney dismissed Boehner’s proposals as “magic beans and fairy dust.” Boehner countered: “If the president really wants to avoid sending the economy over the fiscal cliff, he has done nothing to demonstrate it.” Tax rates have emerged as one of the most intractable issues, with

Obama insisting the rates on the top 2 percent of earners must go up and Boehner standing steadfast that they must not. Boehner, instead, has proposed raising $800 billion through unspecified loophole closings and limits on tax deductions. On Tuesday, the president said he would consider lowering rates for the top 2 percent of earners next year, not now as part of a broader tax overhaul effort that would close loopholes, limit deductions and find other sources of government revenue. “It’s possible that we may be able to lower rates by broadening the base at that point,” Obama said. On Medicare and Social Security, the Republican proposals would do relatively little to curb the deficit over the next decade, but the impact would grow over the longer term. Raising the Medicare retirement age from 65 to 67, for instance, would wring $148 billion from the program over 10 years, according to a Congressional Budget Office estimate last year, about one-fourth of the savings House Republicans hope to claim from federal health programs.

RUSH CREEK CHRISTMAS TREE FARM

1. Keep the tree in a cool, shady place like the garage or porch until ready to bring indoors to decorate.

George’s Dairy Bar

SELLING QUALITY TREES FOR 18 YEARS

CUT YOUR OWN TREE

2. Saw a thin disk (1/2 to 1 inch) off the trunk prior to placing the tree in a water-holding stand.

Corner of Spring & Ash, Piqua Fresh Cut Eco Friendly Scotch Pine Douglas Fir Fraiser Fir 5’- 10’

3. Make the cut perpendicular to the axis of the stem, NOT in a v-shape or at angles. The tree will “drink” its water through the layer between the bark and wood. If you shave the bark off of the trunk the tree will not be able to absorb water. 4. Place the tree in its water-holding stand within two hours after making the cut to the trunk. When a tree is cut it will naturally form a seal of sap over it’s stump to keep moisture in the tree. You must break the seal to allow the tree to once again “drink” the water needed to keep it fresh throughout the holidays.

Boughs & Roping

Hours: Mon-Thurs 12-9 Fri-Sat-Sun10-9

5. Your stand must be able to hold enough water for the size of the tree. A good rule of thumb is a one-quart capacity for every inch of diameter of the trunk.

• Girls Basketball Tipp 58, Stebbins 31 Halee Printz scored a game-high 19 points and Erica Comer netted 16 as the Tippecanoe Red Devils made short work of Stebbins Monday night in a 58-31 victory. Printz, Comer and Carly Clodfelter all knocked down two 3s in the win. TC 76, EC 14 With all of its returning firepower, Troy Christian had no trouble with an Emmanuel Christian team that lost all five of its starters to graduation in the offseason as the Eagles posted a 76-14 victory to improve to 3-1 on the season. Senior Amanda Slone led Troy Christian with 22 points, while Morgan Haddad added 14. Off the bench, Rebecca Lybarger added six points and five rebounds, Katie Poteet had five points and seix rebounds and Jordane Varvel had eight points, four steals and four assists. Amanda Benjamin and Lydia Demmitt also added six points apiece. Troy Christian hosts Bethel Saturday. Piqua 56, Bethel 25 The Piqua Indians picked up their second win in three games, jumping out to a big halftime lead and cruising through the second half for a 56-25 victory over Bethel Monday. The Indians dominated in the paint, with Christy Graves (17) and Tasha Potts (8) combining for 25 first-half points as Piqua opened a 39-10 lead. Bethel had no way to match up with the size of Graves and Potts in the paint. Graves finished with 20 points and five rebounds, while Katie Allen had a double-double with 11 point and 10 rebounds. Jill Callahan and Morgan Weinert scored six points each for the Bees.

Mountain too tall ’Dogs can’t climb back from deficit BY COLIN FOSTER Sports Writer cfoster@tdnpublishing.com Every time the Milton-Union Bulldogs got close to taking the lead, Twin Valley South responded. And when the Bulldogs cut the score 32-30 midway through the third quarter, the Panthers answered with an emphatic 16-5 run to close out the game, leaving Milton-Union with a 48-35 loss in its home opener — and first basketball game ever in the high school’s new gymnasium — and a record of 0-3 to start the season. “Once it got to 32-30, I thought good things were going to happen. But then right away it went from 32-20 to 38-30,”

WEST MILTON

MiltonUnion’s Kaitlyn Thompson drives past a Twin Valley South defender Tuesday night during the Bulldogs’ loss to the Panthers. It was the first basketball game played in MiltonUnion High School’s new gymnasium.

Milton-Union coach Richard Cline said. “It’s hard to climb that mountain three and four times. You need to hit some shots, and we went cold at the wrong time. We had some lapses on the defensive end. Everything just rolled against us.” The battle on the boards plagued Milton the whole game as the Bulldogs were outrebounded by TVS 55-28. The Panthers compiled 23 offensive rebounds, which led to plenty of second-chance points for Timberlynn Donaldson (17 points) and Katie Straszheim (15) — who combined for 32 of 48 Panther points.

Wisconsin moving on without Bielema Travis Frederick was surprised when coach Bret Bielema told the team he was leaving Wisconsin to coach Arkansas. The Badgers’ starting center couldn’t blame him, though. “I guess I was a little surprised, but it’s a very good opportunity for him,” Frederick said after players met with Bielema on Tuesday night. “I’m sure he’ll do well.” See Page 18.

Trojans fall to 0-3 BY JOSH BROWN Sports Editor jbrown@tdnpublishing.com

Some lessons just have to be learned the hard way. “They’ve got to experience those situations for themselves sometimes. It’s like, they’ve got to put their hand on the stove and feel how hot it is … even though we just told them that it’s hot,” Troy coach Tim Miller said. TROY “We’ve got some kids that are inexperienced at the varsity level, and we’re going to go through some growing pains.” Faced with a long, tall, fast and athletic Springfield team in their home opener Tuesday, the Trojans struggled to get inside shots off against the Wildcats’ shot blockers and had issues holding onto the basketball against a very active pressure defense, dropping their third straight to start the season 67-55 at the Trojan Activities Center. Springfield (3-0) shut Troy out from 2-point range in the first quarter and blocked five shots in the first half — four by Sean Burroughs — discouraging the Trojans from driving the lane. “We talked about getting to soft spots in the Troy’s Tre Hudson drives into traffic Tuesday

Bees roll Staff Reports DAYTON — A strong second and fourth quarter — particularly on defense — sparked Miami East to a 64-42 victory over Oakwood on Tuesday night. “We were very aggressive on defense,” Miami East coach Allen Mack said. “That aggressive defense helped fuel our offense.”

MIAMI COUNTY After trailing 16-13 after one quarter, the Vikings (2-0) were in need of a jolt. Garrett Mitchell intercepted an Oakwood pass and flushed a two-hand dunk to give change the momentum. “It was the spark we needed,” Mack said. Mitchell finished the game with 13 points, six rebounds, six assists and six steals. Those six

Devils The game was close throughout the fourth quarter, neither team leading by more than three. Ryan Hughes and Xavier Harrison hit big threes to keep Piqua in the game. Harrison’s three tied it at 56 with 2:15 remaining and neither team would score again in regulation. Tipp had two turnovers in the final minute, but Piqua could not convert. The Indians picked up a charging foul on the first one and after a Tate Honeycutt steal, missed two free throws. In the overtime, it was all Tipp.

■ CONTINUED FROM 16 a freshman, two sophomores and two juniors out there. Things like this are going to happen sometimes when you have a young team.” It was Ben Hughes who sparked the comeback. After Nick Fischer hit a three to close Tipp within 43-36, Hughes scored six points in a 15 second span to make it 43-42 and it was close the rest of the way. “He stepped up big time,” Bixler said. “We got a lot from our bench tonight (27 points) and that is the way it is going to have to be every night.”

“One of the things I talked to the kids about is you worked hard to get to this overtime, now you might as well finish it,” Bixler said. They did it with a 16-3 advantage in the extra period, as Piqua turned the ball over on four of its first five possessions. In the first half, it was the inside play of Erik Vondenhuevel and Josh Holfinger that gave Piqua the advantage. The two combined for 15 points and 10 rebounds in the opening half. “We knew we had the advantage inside and we

were able to take advantage of it,” Butler said. But that began to change in the third quarter. “I thought we did a horrible job defensively inside in the first half,” Bixler said. “We always talk about wanting to get 16 easy points a game. I am pretty sure they had 16 easy points in the first half. We started doing a better job of getting that shut down in the third quarter.” As the Red Devils did, Piqua began to struggle from the floor. After hitting 14 of 30 shots in the first half, Piqua made just four of 20 in the

third quarter. Vondenhuevel’s basket had given them a 41-31 lead late in the quarter, before all the momentum — and eventually the game — swung to Tipp. Vondenhuevel had 16 points and five rebounds for Piqua, while Hughes scored 10 points and Holfinger pulled down 11 rebounds. Fischer and Sean Ford scored 14 points each for Tipp, including five each in the extra period. Ben Stucke had 12 points and 13 rebounds and Michael Landwehr scored 10 points.

Trojans Miller said. “We just go through lulls on offense and defense where we compromise ourselves. We were giving up high-percentage shots in transition off of our turnovers, and we just can’t do that.” Miller finished with 20 points to lead Troy, while Cascaden added 14 points and five assists and Jalen Nelson had nine points and five rebounds. Minney led the Wildcats with 20 points and 10 rebounds, Jackson scored 18 points and Curry added 14. The Trojans remain at home Friday to face Lebanon — the team it defeated in last year’s sectional title game.

Bulldogs ■ CONTINUED FROM 16 “(Straszheim) is a strong body inside, (Donaldson) she’s probably 5-foot-11, and she’s strong also,” Cline said. “When we did try to box out, sometimes it didn’t even work. We’ve got to be in position, and that’s something we’ll continue to work on and try to get better at. “We gave up a lot of offensive rebounds. Every team we go against is going to be bigger. We just need to do a better job boxing out and having some more recognition.” After the Bulldogs took a 6-4 lead early in the first, the Panthers rolled off eight straight to take a 12-8 lead into the second quarter. Then early in the second, TVS bulked up its lead to nine, but an and one 1 by Britney Courtright, then another Courtright bucket on a nice dish by Jordan Pricer put Milton down just five. The Panthers held a seven-point lead at half, shooting 11 foul shots compared to one by Milton. Haley Martens and Brooke Falb got the Milton offense rolling in

the third, helping their team open up the quarter on an 11-6 run. First, Martens got a crazy, underhand flip shot from under the basket to go. Following that, Falb converted a layup off a steal, then buried a 3 to cut the deficit to 32-30 with four minutes to play in the quarter. From that point on, however, the Bulldogs scored just five more points. Falb led the Bulldogs with 14 points, four rebounds and four steals. Martens had 11 points, five rebounds and three assists and Pricer added eight assists. Milton-Union is back in action Thursday, hosting Preble Shawnee. TVS — 48 T.

■ CONTINUED FROM 16 defense, getting to open spots,” Miller said. “And then when faced with their big guy, we talked about using shot fakes and trying to get to the body. But they’ve just got to experience that situation for themselves first.” Tyler Miller, Troy’s leading scorer entering the game, picked up two early fouls also, further hampering the Trojans’ offensive capabilities. But five firsthalf 3s — including a buzzer-beater from beyond half court by Dylan Cascaden to finish the first quarter — kept Troy within 10 at the break, 34-24. “That hurt, but we weathered that first half,” Miller said. “We didn’t want to handcuff him with a third foul in the first half, but we stayed in the game so I wasn’t panic-stricken by sitting him down.”

Troy’s Jalen Nelson holds the ball Tuesday night against Springfield. A 14-point run by the Wildcats in the third quarter, though, proved to be too much to overcome. Troy cut the lead to eight on the first possession of the second half, but that was as close as it would get as Springfield converted on turnover after turnover. After an impressive scoop layup by Kamarta Curry made it 36-26, the Wildcats converted three consecutive three-point plays, two by Dae’Shawn Jackson. A 3 by

Ryan Minney blew the lead up to 48-26 to cap off the run, and the lead grew to 25 at its largest. Troy — which turned the ball over 16 times in the game — tried to shoot its way back into the game in the fourth. Miller hit three of his 5 3s in the quarter, helping the Trojans outscore Springfield 20-10 during the final eight minutes. “We’re not a bad team. We’ve got some people that can shoot the basketball,”

Badgers move on without Bielema MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Travis Frederick was surprised when coach Bret Bielema told the team he was leaving Wisconsin to coach Arkansas. The Badgers’ starting center couldn’t blame him, though. “I guess I was a little surprised, but it’s a very good opportunity for him,” Frederick said after players met with Bielema on Tuesday night. “I’m sure he’ll do well.” Most players declined to comment as reporters waited to talk to them. Some said Bielema urged them to remain focused on the Rose Bowl. Frederick also said he was unsure who would lead the team going forward, and athletic director Barry Alvarez — the former coach who picked Bielema to succeed him — said in a statement that he has a responsibility to ensure the program con-

tinues at a high level and that he has already started the process of looking for a replacement. Some player took to Twitter to lobby for Paul Chryst, the former Wisconsin offensive coordinator in his first season as head coach at Pittsburgh. Offensive lineman Ryan Groy tweeted “Paul Chryst! Paul Chryst!” “I understand the speculation surrounding my name given today’s developments,” Chryst said in a statement released by Pitt. “I am committed to the Pitt football program and the University of Pittsburgh. I am focusing all my time and energy on our team’s bowl game preparation and recruiting a great group of young men to join our program and this outstanding university. We are working hard every day to re-establish this program and I am excited about the future of Pitt

football.” Alvarez said he was surprised when Bielema told him he was taking the Arkansas job, but thanked him for his work over the past seven seasons as head coach, both on and off the field. “Along with finding a new coach, my other main objective is to make sure that our student-athletes, specifically our seniors playing in their final game as Badgers, have a tremendous experience in the Rose Bowl,” Alvarez said. “We will do everything within our power to make that happen.” The search for Wisconsin’s next coach will be the first for the school since Alvarez was brought in for the 1990 season. The former coach picked Bielema to be his successor after adding him to the staff as defensive coordinator for two years before making him head coach for

the 2006 season. Still, quarterback Joel Stave noted coaching turnovers are common in college football, even if it is foreign to those on the Wisconsin roster. “It’s something that’s new for me. I haven’t really experienced this,” Stave said. “But it’s something that we’re just going to work through.” Stave took over as the starter in September and led the Badgers until he was knocked out of the Oct. 27 game against Michigan State. A new coach also could mean starting over for Stave after he earned the starter’s job, but he said he couldn’t worry about that. “If I continue to give us a good chance to win, I think I’ll continue to play,” Stave said. “I feel it’s in my hands. I try to worry about what I control, and that’s making myself the best player I can be.”

Bethel 78, EC 35 SPRINGFIELD — Bethel opened up their season with a strong showing as they defeated

Emmanuel Christian 7835. “We started off slow in the first quarter,” Bethel coach Eric Glover said. “It was probably some firstgame jitters. We turned it up with about five minutes to go in the first and really turned it up on defense.” The Bees were led offensively by Patrick Bain’s 23 points. He was followed by Gus Schwieterman’s 15 points, Andrew Hurst added 10 points and Aaron Bozarth scored eight.

LEWISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Mike Muscala tallied 27 points, three assists and two blocks as Bucknell beat Kent State 76-60 Tuesday night and improved to 8-1 for the first time since 2005-06. Muscala added six boards while Bryson Johnson and Ryan Frazier scored 13 points apiece. Joe Wilman pulled down 10 rebounds to help Bucknell control the boards, 34-22. Bucknell led 32-31 at the break and extended their lead to 43-35 behind a Muscala tip-in. Kent State

rallied to close the gap to 5751 after Chris Evans hit a 3pointer, but Muscala converted a layup, 3-pointer and a jumper on consecutive possessions to put Bucknell up for good. Muscala, who is the only Division I player averaging at least 15 points and 12 rebounds per game, leads Bucknell in most statistical categories, including scoring (17.8), rebounding (12.1), blocks (2.0) and assists (2.0) through nine games. Devareaux Manley led Kent State (5-4) with 15 points.
