INSIDE TROY
Tree set for season East relies on diverse roster Lots of teams claim to be balanced. In every sport, in every county in every state across the country, there are plenty of teams that boast about having a deep bench. Untold amounts of individual players say that they possess a varied set of skills. And sometimes? They’re even telling the truth. But few teams personify the concept of “team” quite like the Miami East Vikings volleyball team.

Dye Mill Road facility to close Since current reconstruction work on Dye Mill Road has resulted in residents not having safe access to the Dye Mill Road facility, the facility is closed until the road work will allow for it to reopen. It is estimated the facility will reopen Nov. 14 for regular operating hours for the rest of the 2011 season and will again close Nov. 28. Hours are noon to 8 p.m. Monday-Friday and 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday.

Council approves refinance
Long time residents donate spruce
Bond could yield $170,00 in savings through 2022
BY MELODY VALLIEU Staff Writer vallieu@tdnpublishing.com The downtown Christmas tree has been donated for the holidays by longtime Troy residents John and Gerry Permenter. The 35-foot blue spruce was planted by the Permenters shortly after their move to their home at 835 Meadow Lane nearly 46 years ago, according to Gerry Permenter. Jeremy Drake, city forester, said while there were two trees to choose from this year, the Permenter’s tree fit the bill for the 2011 holiday season. He said he believes the other tree will be chosen for 2012. “The color, the height and the fullness are just great,” Drake said. “There are no bare spots. It was in the middle of their back yard, so nothing has impeding its growth. It’s just really full and the height was perfect.” However, the tree being in the back yard was a challenge in itself, according to Drake. He said they had never attempted to remove a holiday tree from a back yard. But, he said representatives from Piqua Steel, which bring the crane to move the tree, said it could be done. Gerry Permenter, originally from Fort Loramie, said the tree was just getting too big for the back yard and John was worried that if another big wind storm hit the area, it could damage their home or worse. The Permenters, who

The Permenter blue spruce is carried on the bed of a Piqua Steel Company truck Tuesday enroute to be placed in the center of Troy as the 2011 Christmas tree.
TROY have a son, John; daughter, Karen; and grandson, Griffin, plan to attend Troy’s Grand Illumination event the day after Thanksgiving, Nov. 25, and watch the tree be lit for the first time for the season. Gerry said it might even be a little emotional. “I don’t know, I’ll probably cry,” said Gerry Permenter, who said she hopes her son and grandson also will attend. “But, it makes you feel good that someone can use the tree instead of it just being cut up.”
Grand Illumination ceremony set Troy Main Street will present the 2011 Holiday Grand Illumination and Holiday Parade beginning with a parade at 6:30 p.m. Nov. 25. Visitors to downtown Troy will be entertained by a parade of costumed characters, hol-

iday music, the arrival of Santa and more. A parade led through downtown will mark the arrival of Santa Claus and Mayor Michael Beamish will offer his traditional reading of “T’was the Month Before Christmas” and will lead the community in counting down to the illumination of the holiday tree and downtown holiday lights. Activities
will include visits with Santa, refreshments, train rides, horsedrawn carriage rides, live music and many retailers open late. Again this year, children will be able to call the North Pole to discuss their Christmas wishes with Santa’s elves. For more information, visit www.troymainstreet.org or call 3395455.
Earlier this year, Troy City Council approved a bond refinancing plan that could save the city as much as $20,000 annually in debt service payments. Monday, council approved a second round of bond refinancing, that, according to figures from the city auditor’s office, could yield a total savings of $170,000 over the next 11 years. The refinancing plan involves two 2002 bond issues — one that was issued for the West Milton water line extension, and the second issued for improvements to Troy Memorial Stadium. The savings on the city’s debt service payments could average approximately $15,450 annually through 2022, Troy Service and Safety Director Patrick Titterington told council members during a committee review Oct. 28. Titterington said city auditor John Stickel and the city’s bond underwriter, Joseph Robertson, of Ross, Sinclaire & Associates, worked together to finalize the debt service payment reduction plan. The savings from the water line would accrue to the city Water Fund, while the savings from the stadium bonds would primarily go to the Bond Retirement Fund. With the approval Monday, the city will issue new bonds and secure the lower, more favorable rate. LINCOLN CENTER The bond refinancing was the sole legislative item on council’s agenda Monday. Council did hear a brief presentation from new Lincoln Community Center Executive Director Shane Carter. Carter, who played football at the University of Wisconsin, said he returned to Troy about 18

Carter, who said he was a regular at the center growing up, began volunteering there once he returned to Troy, and two months ago accepted the position of executive director after the resignation of former director Isaiah Williams.
Carter said in the short time he’s been at the LCC helm, the center has added several new programs, including a free GED class and a youth basketball league that begins Dec. 3. He said the number of people using the center’s pool is up and the center is renovating the weight room. In addition, the center is hosting a “mixer” on Nov. 19, and an open house for the Troy community on Dec. 3. The Lincoln Center is located at 110 Ash St. The phone number is (937) 335-2715.
Change not a big factor in state, local races WASHINGTON (AP) — Voters kept their anger and disillusionment in check in state and local elections this week, generally preferring to keep things the way they are rather than join ideological battles at a time of stubborn joblessness. But the closeness of some contests suggested highly competitive races are in store for 2012, particularly in presidential battleground states. If anything, the outcomes across a wide range of races and ballot initiatives suggested that some of the tea-party inspired fervor that swept the 2010 midterm races may have cooled and that voters were focusing more on bread and butter issues, with some 25 million Americans still out of
work or under-employed after the deepest recession since the 1930s. Aggressive initiatives in Mississippi to define life as beginning at conception and in Ohio to restrict collective-bargaining rights for public workers were defeated while incumbents in both parties generally prevailed. Democrats retained their firm control of the New Jersey Legislature, despite the popularity of Republican Gov. Chris Christie. And they clung to a narrow majority in the Iowa Senate. In Arizona, state Sen. Russell Pearce, architect of one of the toughest immigration laws in the country, was ousted after a recall attempt led by a fellow Republican.
was especially significant for Salnikova because it comes on the 350th anniversary of Buryatia becoming a part of Russia, she said. LEARNING A LOT The Open World Program was originally established and is funded by the Library of Congress and began as a pilot project developed in 1999. The program expanded in 2003 to all post-Soviet states and to date, about 14,000 current and future Eurasian leaders have experienced American civil society. The Columbus International Program hosts three or four Russian delegations per year, said Poeppelman, with the Russian visitors staying with host families in the Columbus area during their visit. Open World currently operates exchanges for political and civic leaders from Russia, Ukraine,
Moldova, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Turkmenistan. Besides the spectacle of an OSU football game and visits and presentations by American social service, educational and legal processionals, Salnikova said so far, her visit has been educational and enjoyable. “I’m definitely learning a lot of things I can take back to my country,” she said.

made a breakfast casserole layering scrambled eggs, potatoes, sausage, bacon, and cheese with sausage gravy poured over everything. Yum! 9:15 a.m. Breakfast is ready. We have the casserole along with frosted sugar and ranger cookies, milk, and grape juice. Elizabeth and Susan baked almost 200 cookies on Thursday. Some are for church services on Sunday and the children wanted to take some to their teachers. They are delicious and disappearing fast. 10 a.m. Joe and the boys are working at odd and end jobs outside. Verena and

with cuts and bad spots so they can be used first. Elizabeth and I start with the weekly cleaning while Susan and Lovina wash the breakfast dishes. 1 p.m. The cleaning is done and everyone takes a break from work. We eat a light lunch of sandwiches, apples, and bananas. 1:30 p.m. Joe leaves to go get some repairs done on our buggy. 3 p.m. Joe is back home and him and the boys start on the evening chores. Taking care of the stove is another chore on his list during the winter months. 3:30 Joe’s brother Junior comes for a visit. We haven’t seen him in almost seven years so our younger children do not remember him. He had lived out of the area but recently moved back. Joe tells him to stay for supper. 5:30 p.m. Joe starts the grill outside to prepare some chicken. I make a chili soup in the house. 6:30 p.m. Suppertime and Junior joins us and also Elizabeth’s friend Timothy. 7:30 p.m. Junior leaves for home and everyone gets cleaned up and ready for church tomorrow. Our time will go back an hour tonight which we will be
glad for the extra sleep. Both our buggies are repaired so we will be able to take both of them to church. Our single buggy had not been usable since it flipped over several weeks ago. Our 17-year-old horse, Diamond, felt his harness catch on the shaft and this scared him enough to take off and flip the buggy. But now the damages are all repaired. 8:30 p.m. Everyone is ready for bed. With Thanksgiving on the way I have a great recipe to use up some of the leftover turkey. TURKEY CASSEROLE 3 slices of bread, cubed 2 cups cooked turkey pieces 1 egg 1 can of chicken noodle soup 1 can of cream of mushroom soup 1 cup of cracker crumbs, crushed 1 /4 cup of margarine, melted Place cubed turkey pieces and bread in a greased casserole dish.

“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 China Daily, Beijing, on Syrian reform: The day after dozens were killed, in one of the deadliest single-day tolls since protests erupted in Syria more than seven months ago, the United Nations and the Arab League issued separate condemnations of the violence. UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon voiced the international concern over the ongoing crisis, when he said, “The calls of the Syrian people for change must be answered with far-reaching reforms, not repression and violence.” Syria is clearly in a state of internal political crisis. According to the UN, at least 3,000 people have lost their lives in the country since the unrest began in mid-March. It is no surprise that the NATO powers, inspired by their successful military intervention in Libya, shifted focus on Syria. However, given the geopolitical sensitivity of Syria as the nerve center of the Middle East and the weak position of the Syrian opposition, the Western powers have so far restricted themselves to sanctions aimed at Syrian President Bashar Assad and the ruling elite and have refrained from any military intervention, such as the NATO action in Libya. Yet, international pressure upon Syria for political reform is increasingly building up. Echoing the U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s statement that Assad has “lost legitimacy,” the European Union widened sanctions against Assad and the Syrian state. French Foreign Minister Alain Juppe said that fall of the Assad government is “unavoidable”, while the British government is urging Assad to step down. China called on the Middle East to halt all forms of violence in Syria and take all necessary measures to prevent bloodshed. Despite his warning to the Western powers that any military intervention in Syria would cause an “earthquake” in the Middle East, Assad should recognize that it is matter of urgency for the Syrian government to reach a political agreement with the opposition on needed reforms. London Evening Standard on the Greek bailout: Today’s growth figures for the UK economy in the last quarter are better than expected, at 0.5 percent, and better than the 0.1 percent for the three months before that. This will come as a relief to the Chancellor, George Osborne. But the figures are still weak, with many forecasters predicting lower growth ahead. Moreover, markets have fallen on the news that the deal painstakingly thrashed out for an EU Greek bailout may yet be put in jeopardy by a referendum. Whatever the merits of letting the Greeks decide their country’s economic future — and there is everything to be said for democratic decisions — this was not the deal that the Athens government signed up to. Had prime minister George Papandreou told eurozone governments that the entire agreement was conditional on the say-so of the Greek public, the tone of the negotiations might have been very different. Papandreou would have done better to have called an early election, which would in effect have been a referendum on the bailout but less disruptive. A referendum could take months to organize. As a result, markets are once again febrile. Britain, which may be outside the eurozone but is economically bound up with its fortunes, can only suffer from the uncertainty. In the long term, were the Greeks to walk away from their commitments and from the euro, it could be in that country’s best interests. But disorderly default and prolonged uncertainty are what the markets hate most and it is what is now almost guaranteed. We cannot prevent the Greek government from holding a referendum, but let us hope that voters are left in no doubt about the consequences of rejecting the EU deal. They cannot have it all ways — better terms on a bailout, less austerity and continued membership of the euro.

DOONESBURY
Saying goodbye is never an easy thing to do The final Fong has been poured. Several months ago, I wrote in this space how it was my heart’s desire to one day have either a sandwich or a drink named after me. At the time, I figured nothing would ever come of it. I should have known better. That very same week, I slipped into my favorite local watering hole, where my bartender Dan was waiting for me. Turns out he had created a drink in my honor, which he was anxiously waiting for me to try out. “What’s in it?” I asked him. “Well, it’s kind of like the man it’s named after — you never know what’s coming next and you’re probably better off not asking what went into making it,” Dan said. I should have known I could count on Dan — after all, it’s pretty much what I’ve been doing for the past 15 years. When I first moved back to Troy after graduating from The Ohio State University in 1996, I spent the first five years living with my parents. Because my parents are, well, my parents, I made it my personal goal to spend as
David Fong Troy Daily News Columnist much time as I possibly could not actually being around them (a goal they fully supported, I might add). I threw myself headlong into my work, often staying at the office updwards of 10-12 hours per day. Still, though, I needed another sanctuary — a place where I always felt welcome. Thanks in large part to people like Dan, Fish, Mike, Cowboy, Goldberg and Kim — people whose full names I wouldn’t bother to learn for the better part of a decade (some of which I still don’t know) — I was able to find that place at a little establishment on Water Street in Troy. Most of those people have since moved on — but for the past 15 years, Dan has remained.
— Charles Snead Miami County
And for more than a decade, Dan has always been there for me, to share my highs and lows. When my wife and I went on our very first date, Dan was there to share in our joy. When I found out my big sister had cancer, Dan was there to assure me everything was going to be OK. I’ll never forget him telling me, “When you sister beats this, you bring her in here — her drinks are on the house.” Several months later, my sister did beat cancer — and Dan held true to his promise. That’s the funny thing about bartenders — OK, just one of the funny things about bartenders — they truly are social chameleons, able to adapt to any situation as needed. When a girl’s boyfriend dumps her, they are the ones they to lend a sympathetic ear. When a guy wants to talk football, there are there to offer advice on which players he should insert into his fantasy football line-up that week. And for 15 years, Dan has been there for me — and been much more than just a bartender. He has been my confidant, my relationship counselor and, more often that I would probably care to
admit, by bodyguard. Much more than any of that, however, he has been my friend. This past Saturday night, I visited The Brewery after a long day of work. Dan, as usual, was there. We chatted briefly about the Troy football game I had just witnessed before he leaned over and told me I wouldn’t be seeing him there anymore. Dan is leaving the business. I was at a complete loss for words. How do you thank a man who has been there for you for 15 years, who has shared in all your triumphs and tribulations and all your hopes and fears? I couldn’t. So I did what I’ve done so many times over the course of our relationship. I had him pour me a drink. One final “Fong” to toast the good times. As I lifted it to my lips, all the memories we’ve shared over the years came flooding back. Never before has a drink tasted quite so bittersweet. Troy’s very own David Fong appears on Thursdays in the Troy Daily News. Thanks for everything, Dan the Man.

Casstown man dies Staff Reports An early morning crash Sunday on LeFevre Road near Troy claimed the life of a local man. According to reports,

one-vehicle accident. Deputies said North’s pickup truck struck two trees. According to reports, North was wearing a seat belt.
Local school levies pass Tipp, M-U schools positive at polls BY CECILIA FOX Ohio Community Media editorial@tdnpublishing.com Tipp City and MiltonUnion school officials had reason to celebrate on Tuesday night. Both school districts had levies on the ballot and as the results from the polls came in, both passed. The Tipp City School District’s levy passed easily, with 62.93 percent of the vote. That’s 3,642 votes in favor of the levy and 2,122 against. Milton-Union’s levy barely passed, with just 55.95 percent of the vote. According to the Miami County Board of Elections’ website, that’s 2,001 yes votes to 1,578 nays. “We’re very appreciative of the community support of our schools. This levy was very much needed and the community saw that need,” said Dr. John Kronour, superintendent of the Tipp City School District. The Tipp district has endured recent cuts in funding from the state and may face more in the next year, but the passage of this levy will generate $3.6 million and will provide funding for educational programs, employee salaries
TIPP CITY-WEST MILTON and other operational costs, according to Kronour. In an interview prior to the election, Kronour said the district has tried to deal with the cuts without going to the voters. This has meant a district-wide wage freeze, a reduction in staff through attrition (not replacing employees who retire or resign) and the institution of a pay-to-play system. “I just want to say thank you to all the people who put in the effort and hard work to support us,” Kronour said. The Milton-Union levy has passed again, this time by the skin of its teeth. It was originally passed in 1992 and has been in place for nearly 20 years. This long-lived levy will last another five years, for which school officials are grateful. “We’re obviously very pleased and thankful to the community,” said Chuck Klein, the school district’s treasurer. The 17-mill levy may have intimidated some voters, but Superintendent Virginia Rammel said the large number reflects the rate of inflation since the levy was first passed. The levy raises the same
amount of money as a new 8.6-mill levy would. The levy will raise about $1.6 million annually. The money raised by the levy will be used for classroom supplies, employees’ salaries and benefits, fuel expenses and utilities, and other maintenance, Rammel said. Like the Tipp City schools, Milton-Union has faced cuts and has had to make difficult decisions like eliminating administrative, teaching and non-teaching positions, as well as instituting a wage freeze. “We’re going to continue to watch our dollars and cents to make sure we spend every penny wisely,” Klein said. The Milton-Union district spends the least amount of dollars per student in the county and was recently recognized by the U.S. Department of Education for attaining high student achievement at low cost. Milton-Union receives the second lowest amount of local revenue per pupil in the county, $3,930 per pupil. Local revenue accounts for 46 percent of the total operating budget, with the remaining money coming from state and federal aid.
Water rates increased Credit cards now being accepted Water rates have officially been increased, but now residents can pay with their credit card if they so choose. At Monday’s meeting, council approved the second reading of the water rate increase ordinance. The water service charge went from $6.26 to $7.50, and a consumption charge of $4.51 to $5.45 per 1,000 gallons. This takes the minimum fee from $10.77 to $12.95 per 1,000 gallons of water. The increased rate goes into effect this December. Council and village staff have said in workshops that the increase is necessary because of the increase in Troy rates, where West Milton water comes from. Back in December 2003,
WEST MILTON West Milton signed a 20year contract with Troy. There was no cap. Rates are set in threeyear increments, and have increased an average of 910 percent each year (the next increase comes in 2013). Though distribution costs from Troy have continued to increase in recent years, West Milton’s rates to have not. residents Currently, about 65 percent of the water revenue goes to Troy. Interim Municipal Manager Ben Herron also noted that the village is now able to accept Master Card, American Express,
and Discover for water bills. They are hoping to accept Visa by the end of the year. Cards can be taken online now, and will have a space for payment in the next set of bills. There is a $2.95 processing fee for this service from the credit card companies. Also on Monday, council approved the banks Fifth Third, Huntington National, and Minster as acceptable places for public funds. Herron said the village is still working to see which has the best interest rate for their funds. “We want to know where are we going to earn the most bang for our buck,” he said. — Story by Joyell Nevins

DEATH OF NATIONAL INTEREST • Bil Keane PHOENIX (AP) — Bil Keane’s “Family Circus” comics entertained readers with a simple but sublime mix of humor and traditional family values for more than a half century. The appeal endured, the author thought, because the American public needed the consistency. Keane, who started drawing the onepanel cartoon featuring Billy, Jeffy, Dolly, P.J. and their parents in February 1960, died Tuesday at age 89 at his longtime home in Paradise Valley, near Phoenix. His comic strip is featured in nearly 1,500 newspapers across the country. Jeff Keane, Keane’s son who lives in
Laguna Hills, Calif., said that his father died of congestive heart failure with one of his other sons by his side after his conditioned worsened during the last month. All of Keane’s five children, nine grandchildren and great-granddaughter were able to visit him last week, Jeff Keane said. “He said, ‘I love you’ and that’s what I said to him, which is a great way to go out,” Jeff Keane said of the last conversation he had with his father. “The great thing is Dad loved the family so much, so the fact that we all saw him, I think that gave him great comfort and made his passing easy.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX
Don’t destroy your marriage because you are having a midlife crisis Dear Annie: I recently turned 50, and I hate it. I wasn't bothered when I turned 40, but this birthday is really eating at me. I used to be very athletic, but with all the abuse I put my body through, I had to quit playing sports. I was well on my way into a depression when a woman half my age came into my life. I love my wife dearly, and we have been together for more than 25 years. I would never cheat on her, but I can't seem to get "Wanda" out of my head. She really has shown an interest in me. We email each other and have gone out for lunch a couple of times, and I find myself growing quite fond of her. Is this what they call a midlife crisis? I want to tell Wanda how I feel about her, thinking maybe it would scare her away. I don't know what to do. Well, I do know what to do. I just need to hear it from someone else. — Desperate for Help Dear Desperate: Yes, this is what is called a midlife crisis. You are at a vulnerable age. Your life is probably past the halfway point, and it is intoxicating to find that Wanda is attracted to you. It makes you feel young again. The flirtation is already a form of betrayal, and continued contact is likely to lead to an affair, whether you intend it or not. You are smart enough to realize this. Please don't make your wife pay for your fears about aging. Do something to rekindle the spark in your marriage. Have a romantic dinner. Stay overnight at a hotel. Get counseling if you need it. Those couples who get through these rough spots often find their marriages are stronger and more fulfilling. We hope you will be one of them. Dear Annie: For many years, I have hosted my family for Thanksgiving dinner. I remind them three months in advance and call a week before the date. Because I live alone, I don't like to buy more food than I can safely freeze as leftovers, but I certainly want everyone to have as much as they like. Last year, one couple behaved strangely. They called the day before to ask if they could come earlier so we'd have more time to visit. Then they actually showed up later than everyone else, ate quickly and left. Since then, I have not seen or heard a word from them, even though they live five minutes from my home. Here's the problem. For the past several years, I have had a longstanding invitation to stop at their house before the holidays. The date is always the same. Should I just show up as usual, or do I wait to hear from them first? I don't want to go where I'm not wanted. — Baffled in the South Dear Baffled: This shouldn't be so difficult. Pick up the phone. Say you've missed them and want to see how they are doing. Hopefully, they will invite you to stop by for your annual visit. But if they don't bring it up, you can casually ask, "Is it convenient for me to stop by on the 15th as usual?" This gives them the opportunity to let you know if their circumstances have changed. Dear Annie: This is in response to "Miserable." I experienced exactly the same problem. For six years, my husband and I were merely housemates. There was never an affectionate word, no intimate contact, no touching, nothing. He assured me there was no one else; he just had no desire. Finally, he developed some physical issues and went for testing. It turned out that his testosterone level was quite low. Once he began taking weekly testosterone injections, we immediately returned to honeymooners' status. If testosterone isn't the problem, it could be another hormone. Please tell her to get her husband to an endocrinologist. — Understand in North Carolina Annie's Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

HINTS FROM HELOISE
Tip can give that old vinyl a clean spin Dear Readers: Vinyl records are making a comeback. They are great collectibles. However, they can get dusty and dirty. There are commercial cleaners on the market, but use this Heloise hint to safely clean them: Hold the record by the edges, and rinse it under cold running tap water. It may be difficult to keep it completely dry, but try to keep the paper label as dry as possible. With a bit of mild liquid dish detergent on your fingertips, rub the record gently around in a circle, following the grooves. don’t rub across the grooves. Rinse thoroughly, and let air-dry or pat
Hints from Heloise Columnist with a microfiber towel. Always store records upright in their protective paper sleeves and cardboard covers. — Heloise SNAKE SHED Dear Heloise: Yesterday, I went back to my home, which sits vacant but is still furnished. The first thing I saw was a snakeskin under my desk. I go to
my home every few weeks, so it is not old. What can I put in the rooms to keep this “critter” away? — Louise in Arkadelphia, Ark. There’s nothing that I know of — and research concurs — that will repel snakes. To keep the snakes from entering your home, remove all things from around the home that would attract them: high grass, firewood, rock piles, debris and overgrown landscaping. Seal every crack and crevice that you find outside your home. Place screens over all outer vents, and be sure that doors and windows have a secure/sealed fit when
closed. — Heloise WALL NAILS Hi, Heloise: I’ve added a lot of wall decor to my condo lately. When wildly whacking nails into the wall, I occasionally would drop one and lose sight of it in the carpeting. My cat’s appetite for naughtiness leads to swallowing things she shouldn’t. I would panic when I dropped a nail, afraid that she would find it and try to swallow it. If I put the nail through a sizable piece of painter’s tape, it is easy to find if dropped. Voila — no choking cat! I give her lots of toys, but she searches out the unusual. — Michelle Cahill, via email

HOROSCOPE Thursday, Nov. 10, 2011 It behooves you to associate as much as you can in the year ahead with those who could help advance your interests or objectives. Do so by being friendly and accepting help only when and if you really need it. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Being domineering can lead to complications with those who share your day. It can be particularly destructive if you encounter someone who is a trifle more forceful than you. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Even if it causes you some major inconvenience, don’t let down those who are depending upon you. Meet your obligations like the responsible person you are. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Don’t coerce a friend to agree with you when you know that she or he isn’t in accord with your thinking. It does nothing but cause your pal to resent being put in that position. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — An important goal can be achievable when you get past all your doubt and inadequacy. If you want to win, you must think in terms of victory. Otherwise failure takes over. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — If experience has taught you that a certain topic agitates a friend, stay off of it or refuse to engage if another brings it up. Failing to do so could cause a nasty dust-up. ARIES (March 21-April 19) — Be on your toes, because someone who knows how to manipulate your generous nature could get you to spend some of your hard-earned money on themselves. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — If you can’t avoid dealing with someone who has a faculty for getting under your skin, be as tactful as you can. When this person makes an aggravating comment, consider the source. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — It’s going to just be one of those days when neglected duties or commitments are likely to catch up with you. When numerous things clamor for your attention, take it in stride and calmly do one at a time. CANCER (June 21-July 22) — Even if the position you take is an unpopular one, don’t let your peers pressure you into doing something that goes against your better judgment. It’s not worth it. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Keep a cool head when things go awry at home, and encourage other family members to do the same. Unpleasant events can get worse when they’re allowed to run wild. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Don’t allow yourself to blow up over something that you’ve handled with tolerance up until now. Continue to keep a cool head and encourage others to ice their noggins as well. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — People are a bit touchy right now, making any commercial dealings a bit trickier than usual. If you’re involved with someone who is having a hard time keeping cool, help him or her by smiling copiously. COPYRIGHT 2011 UNITED FEATURE SYNDICATE, INC.

Snow, winds batter Alaska ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — One of the strongest storms to hit western Alaska in nearly 40 years battered coastal communities Wednesday with snow and hurricaneforce winds, knocking out power, ripping up roofs and forcing some residents to board up their windows and seek higher ground. As the storm churned the Bering Sea, residents and emergency responders braced for a possible surge of sea water into already soaked villages along the coast. “People out there are used to extreme weather, but this is not a normal storm,”
said Jeremy Zidek, spokesman for the state’s emergency management agency. “This is of a magnitude that can be a storm of record, extremely dangerous, and the state is treating it as such.” Water already has reached homes in at least four Native villages, including Tununak and Kipnuk, state emergency managers said. Zidek noted there have been no reports of injuries, and that damage so far has been largely limited to blown-out windows and battered roofs.

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

Not the way he wanted PSU trustees fire coach Paterno, president Spanier STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) — The day was always coming. The old coach was 84, and each new season brought questions whether it would be his last. No one, though, expected it to happen quite like this. The Penn State board of trustees fired football coach Joe Paterno Wednesday night amid the growing furor over how the school handled sex abuse allegations against an assistant coach. The m a s s i v e s h a k e u p came hours after Paterno announced that he PATERNO planned to retire at the end of his 46th season. Earlier that day a tearful Paterno, who won more games than any coach in major college football history, stood in an auditorium in the Penn State complex and told disbelieving players that he planned to retire at the end of the season. Not because he was too old or couldn’t win anymore, but because of a child sex abuse scandal involving a longtime assistant coach and onetime heirapparent.

Balancing act Miami East relies on deep and diverse roster BY JOSH BROWN Sports Editor jbrown@tdnpublishing.com Lots of teams claim to be balanced. In every sport, in every county in every state across the country, there are plenty of teams that boast about having a deep bench. Untold amounts of individual players say that they possess a varied set of skills. And sometimes? They’re even telling the truth. But few teams perCASSTOWN sonify the concept of “team” quite like the Miami East Vikings volleyball team. Built on a solid foundation of fundamentals, strengthened by individuals that work nonstop to continuously improve the skills they already possess and learn new ones, taught the finer points of strategy and execution in their sport and molded together by bonds of friendship, unselfishness and a common competitive desire to be better than any other team they face, the Vikings are the very definition of a team — and they’ve ridden

Deadline passes, no deal NEW YORK (AP) — As Commissioner David Stern’s deadline passed, the NBA and its players continued negotiating Wednesday in an attempt to end the lockout. The two sides met for more than eight hours to try to hash out a deal to save the season. Stern had issued an ultimatum to players: Accept the league’s latest proposal by 5 p.m. ET Wednesday or it will be replaced with a much harsher one that would drive the sides even farther apart. Players said Tuesday they wouldn’t accept the current one as configured and suggested another negotiation session. The current offer calls for players to receive between 49 percent and 51 percent of basketballrelated income, though union officials said it would be impossible to get above 50.2 percent. Players were guaranteed 57 percent of BRI under the previous collective bargaining agreement.

Loaded Buckeyes ready for season William Buford has made 732 shots in his three seasons at Ohio State. Yet it’s the one that he didn’t make that haunts him and keeps him staring at the ceiling in the middle of the night. See Page 17.

Balance ■ CONTINUED FROM B1 that fact all the way to the program’s first-ever state tournament. “They’re not selfish at all,” Miami East coach John Cash said. “They get it. They know they’re not going to be the best team they can be if everyone isn’t on the same page. They know they’re not going to win, or win the way they want to win — which is just as important — if we’re one dimensional.” And it all begins with the fact that all of the players on the team can do anything that is required of them. The hitters can set and play tough defense. The setters know they can go to anyone with the ball — even to the other setters or the back row. The defensive specialists can even put the ball down. Everyone serves tough. Everyone passes well. Everyone defends. Everyone has everyone else’s back. “I heard it in a movie once … I forget which … but it’s fitting. ‘Diversity is the key to success,’” Cash said. “The more I can do, the more valuable I am. The girls all understand that the more they can do, the more they can stay on the floor.” And if the Vikings’ success begins anywhere, it’s with their defense and overall hustle. Between the big bodies at the net blocking and slowing the ball down and everyone else sacrificing their bodies and diving to keep it in the air, the Vikings never give up on a point. “You just know you have to keep the ball up,” said senior outside hitter Kelsey Vanchure, who had a key diving save in the final game against Anna in the regional semifinal round. “Knowing that you can win both the long points and the short ones is a huge advantage.” “Even if one person is down, they know someone’s got their back,” Allie Millhouse said. “(The ball going to) deep corners sometimes is tough, especially when you’re not expecting it. But you know you’ve got to

final as the Falcons used some of Miami East’s own tricks against it. The Vikings fell behind in both of the first two games — including trailing 17-10 in the second game — but rallied to win both and swept their way into the state semifinal. The Warriors are no strangers to comebacks, either. “We made a couple of quick changes and were able to make it work and fight our way back,” Cash said. “But Adena was down 2-0 in its regional final and stormed back to win the last three games. They know how to make plays, and they know who their playmakers are. There’s a toughness about them, and we know we’re going to have our hands full.” But the Vikings haven’t changed their attitude all season long. They feel that if they do their job on their side of the net and execute, nothing anyone else can do will matter. “We still believe that. We’ll believe that until the very end,” Cash said. “We’re capable of controlling the ball, of blocking and slowing it down, we have good serve receive and can spread the ball around. And if we become one-dimensional and predictable, which is something we don’t want to do, we have players that can pull us out of it.” That attitude, that level of talent, that drive and that ability to block out all the distractions and just play is all part of what has carried the Vikings all through their stellar season. And has them two steps away from their goal. “I don’t think that’ll change now, either,” Cash said.
■ CONTINUED FROM B1 the state tournament. Adena, meanwhile, was the state runner-up two years ago. Don’t expect the Vikings to be overwhelmed by the magnitude of the matchup or the size of the arena. “This is step No. 7 of 8,” Cash said, referring to the eight postseason games the team would have to win to claim the state championship. “The girls are excited, the community is excited. The teachers, the students, everyone is all in. There’s no doubt about that. “But it doesn’t matter what gym they’re in, if it’s a big stage or a small stage — once they get into that locker room and start getting ready, their business side takes over.” But while Miami East — which was ranked No. 1 in the state in D-III for the first time in its history, also, and was there all season —is making its first trip to the state level, Adena will be making its eighth. The Warriors, in addition to their runnerup finish in 2009, were also second in 1993 and won back-to-back titles in their first two trips in 1975 and 1976. “They’ve got two players back from their 2009 runner-up team — a setter and a middle hitter,” Cash said. “Their middle is a very strong hitter and she always has a lot of kills. “They’re a solid passing team, they’re a solid serving team and keep the ball in zones they want it to go to — they play a lot like us at times. I would say they’re a lot like Fenwick, only maybe not as tall.” And the Vikings struggled at times against Fenwick in the regional

Buford looks to exorcise demons
Paterno
Buckeyes loaded, looking for more than just Big Ten title COLUMBUS (AP) — William Buford has made 732 shots in his three seasons at Ohio State. Yet it’s the one that he didn’t make that haunts him and keeps him staring at the ceiling in the middle of the night. He’s got a chance at surpassing Jerry Lucas, Jim Jackson and Dennis Hopson to become the alltime leading scorer for the Buckeyes. Asked if he feels good about a career that has resulted in 1,424 points and an average team record of 28-7, his smile fades. “Yes, except my last game,” he said. Top-ranked and topseeded Ohio State, which won its first 24 games and came in 34-2, lost to Kentucky 62-60 last March 25 at the NCAA’s East Regional semifinal in Newark, N.J. Buford, the Buckeyes’ best all-around offensive performer, made just 2 of 16 shots from the field. The 6-foot-6 swingman also had a decent look at a 3 from the left corner in the final seconds that meant the difference between victory and defeat. But like so many others that night, it was off the mark. With a new season, his final one, in front of him, Buford — the only player on Ohio State’s roster with more than one year in a Buckeyes uniform — is trying to inspire his teammates even as he attempts to recover from the dark-

But in order to take the next step, beyond winning Big Ten titles and locking up high rankings, they need their senior citizen to shove that night at the Prudential Center out of Buford’s psyche. “It was an all day, every day thing,” he said of the
weeks after Ohio State’s crushing defeat. “I knew I was better than the way I played. I could have done other things to help the team out beside shooting to try to get myself out of a slump.” Now it’s the one he missed which motivates him. “The shots that he missed in that game were shots that I’ve seen him make for three years,” said Thad Matta, a sterling 19057 with seven straight 20win seasons and a total of seven Big Ten champi-
onships and tournament titles with the Buckeyes. “I don’t think anybody wanted William to make a shot more than I did at that particular juncture, just to get him going. Hopefully that helped him go into this summer and prove what he wants to be and drive him a little bit more.” He’ll have plenty of help. Back is last year’s premier big man in the nation, 6-9 Jared Sullinger, who averaged 17.2 points and 10.2 rebounds while earning AllAmerica status. So point guard Aaron Craft, a pest on defense and the triggerman on offense for a team that won by an average of 18 points a game. Another third freshman a year ago, Deshaun Thomas, will pump up shots from everywhere but surprised his with his teammates defense and gritty play as a rookie. Sullinger has dropped 15 pounds — although it looks like twice that much — since electing to stay at Ohio State instead of being an NBA lottery pick. He says he can now drift outside to shoot jumpers instead of only using his still-prodigious backside as leverage inside. “Teams are going to be so sold on doubling me in the post,” he said with a laugh. “It’s going to be like, ‘How do you double him when he’s doing the pick and pop?’ It’s going to mess up some people’s defensive strategies.”

Wednesday morning. Failure to make a deal likely would increase the calls for the union to decertify so the players can file a lawsuit against the league in court, a risky and lengthy tactic that likely would doom the 2011-12 season. Union officials have downplayed the idea, but players might have no other leverage once the more severe proposal is put into play.
Stern and Deputy Commissioner Adam Silver were joined Wednesday by Spurs owner Peter Holt, the chairman of the labor relations committee, and lawyers Rick Buchanan and Dan Rube. Besides Hunter and president Derek Fisher, vice presidents Roger Mason Jr. and Maurice Evans, economist Kevin Murphy and attorney Jeffrey Kessler represented the union.

“Success With Honor” was ending in disgrace, and the tears flowed from behind the thick eyeglasses. “In all the clips I’ve seen of him, I’ve never seen him break down and cry,” quarterback Paul Jones said. “And he was crying the whole time today.” Cornerback Stephon Morris said some players also were nearly in tears themselves. “I still can’t believe it. I’ve never seen Coach Paterno like that in my life,” Morris said. “He spent his whole life here, and he dedicated everything to Penn State,” added safety Nic Sukay. “You could really feel that.” Paterno said he wanted to finish his 46th season with “dignity and determination.” But the university’s board of trustees forced him to leave sooner. The board also ousted school president Graham Spanier. Paterno says he should have done more. Spanier has said he was not told the details of the attack. Defensive coordinator Tom Bradley will serve as interim coach while Rodney Erickson will serve as interim school president. In Washington, the U.S. Department of Education said Wednesday it has launched an investigation into whether Penn State failed to report incidents of sexual abuse on campus, as required by federal law. John Surma, the vice chair of the board of trustees said, “these decisions were made after careful deliberations and in the best inter-
whole.” “The past several days have been absolutely terrible for the entire Penn State community. But the outrage that we feel is nothing compared to the physical and psychological suffering that allegedly took place,” he added. Sue Paterno opened the door of the Paterno home briefly when a reporter knocked, then closed it and turned off the light. Earlier in the day, Paterno said in a statement he was “absolutely devastated” by the case, in which his former assistant and onetime heir apparent, Jerry Sandusky, has been charged with molesting eight boys in 15 years, with some of the alleged abuse taking place at the Penn State football complex. “This is a tragedy,” Paterno said. “It is one of the great sorrows of my life. With the benefit of hindsight, I wish I had done more.” Paterno has come under harsh criticism including from within the community known as Happy Valley for not taking more action in 2002 after then-graduate assistant and current assistant coach Mike McQueary came to him and reported seeing Sandusky in the Penn State showers with a 10year-old boy. Paterno notified the athletic director, Tim Curley, and a vice president, Gary Schultz. Paterno is not a target of the criminal investigation, although Curley and Schultz have been charged with failing to report the incident to the authorities.
