In sum, Baker was given a combined $390,000 bond and is scheduled for preliminary hearings on Nov. 29 and 30.

Meanwhile, alleged accomplice Chip A. Mills, 19, of Houston, has been charged with burglary, breakBAKER MILLS ing and entering and attempted auto theft. Mills remains behind felonies.

In addition, Baker was also bars on a $20,000 bond and his next arraigned on an unrelated rape court appearance is set for Dec. 1.

Jordan calls it a day

BY RON OSBURN Staff Writer rosburn@tdnpublishing.com

Look at kids’ passions

For Michelle Jordan, the last three years as the city of Troy fiscal supervisor was a satisfying conclusion to her 30-year career in public service.

“To work for such a wonderful staff and such a supportive administration made these last three years some of the best years in my career,” Jordan said, as she celebrated her retirement Tuesday with a gathering in a city hall meeting room attended by dozens of family, friends and co-workers.

Jordan said she plans to take a few weeks off, then will begin work with the tax collection and delinquency division of the city of Cleveland. She’ll work from an office in downtown Dayton.

Jordan began her career as a tax auditor with the city of Fairborn, and also worked for the cities of Springfield, Miamisburg and Trotwood before coming to Troy in 2008.

During her tenure, she helped implement the city’s Automated Meter Reading program and the outsourcing of the printing and mailing of city utility bills, updated the income tax and utility billing computer system and consolidated and streamlined staffing levels in the income tax and utility billing departments.

Combined, those moves have saved the city about $250,000 annually, said Troy Service and Safety

NEW YORK (AP) — To the uninitiated, buying gifts for kids can feel like a treasure hunt without a map through store aisles and websites packed for the holidays. But sussing out clues may not be as difficult as it looks. See Page 7.

Last season, the Troy Trojans took a while to get used to playing together — and once they did, they were dangerous.

This year, there shouldn’t be the same getting-to-knowyou period.

The Trojans return the majority of the major players from their team that finished the season with an overall record of 16-13-3 — after starting it off 0-5-2. See Page 10.

In order for the Troy Daily News employees to spend time with their families during the Thanksgiving holiday, the offices will be closed today and Friday. However, the circulation call center will be open from 6-10 a.m. each day for customer service by calling 335-5634.

Jordan • CONTINUED FROM A1 Director Patrick Titterington.

“I’m proud of what we’ve been able to accomplish. It’s all due to the hard work of my staff and the great support I’ve enjoyed from the city administration,” said Jordan, who celebrated with her husband, Ron, and son Kyle Young. Due to work commitments, her other son, Andrew Young, was unable to attend Tuesday’s celebration.

Titterington also lauded Jordan for increasing the city’s level of customer service on a day-to-day basis and especially during tax season.

And Titterington noted

Outgoing city of Troy Fiscal Manager Michelle Jordan greets Thain Teter, 3, one of the wellwishers at Jordan’s retirement party Tuesday at city hall.

that Jordan’s efforts were an example of why he is opposed to any effort by the state of Ohio to take tax collection services away from local municipalities and centralize them.

That suggestion has been floated publicly by members of Ohio Governor John Kasich’s administration in recent months as a cost saving measure.

Titterington is opposed to that centralization effort and Troy City Council followed his suggestion and in October passed a formal resolution opposing any tax collection centralization effort. “(Jordan) has done everything right that the state centralization would destroy,” Titterington said.

Stolen property from the Demming Road home was recovered from the suspects. As the incident ended, a resident who lives along State Route 66 called to report his garage was broken into as well and a vehicle was damaged in an apparent attempt to steal it, police reports disclose.

Thanksgiving travel rush under way CHICAGO (AP) — Undeterred by costlier gas and airfare, millions of Americans set out Wednesday to see friends and family in what is expected to be the nation’s busiest Thanksgiving weekend since the financial meltdown more than three years ago.

The rough economy led people to find ways to save money, but many refused to scrap their travel plans.

“We wouldn’t think of missing it,” said Bill Curtis, a retiree from Los Angeles who was with his wife at Bob Hope Airport in Burbank, Calif. “Family is important and we love the holiday. So we cut corners other places so we can afford to travel.”

About 42.5 million people are expected to hit the road or take to the skies for Thanksgiving this year, according to travel tracker AAA. That’s the highest number of travelers since the start of the recession at the end of 2007.

Heavy rain slowed down early travelers along the East Coast. Snow across parts of New England and upstate New York made for treacherous driving and thousands of power outages.

And a mudslide covered train tracks in the Pacific Northwest. But most of the country is expected to have clear weather Thursday.

For many travelers, it was a smooth, if more expensive, trip.

The average round-trip airfare for the top 40 U.S. routes is $212, up 20 percent from last year. Tickets on most Amtrak one-way routes have climbed slightly, and drivers are paying an average $3.33 a gallon, or 16 percent more than last year, according to AAA. Jake Pagel, a waiter from Denver, was flying to see his girlfriend’s family in San Jose, Calif. Pagel said had to give up working during one of the restaurant industry’s busiest and most profitable times.

“I think it’s something you can’t quantify in terms of monetary cost,” he said. “I mean, being able to spend quality time with your family is fairly significant.”

Most travelers — about 90 percent, according to AAA — were expected to hit the road.

John Mahoney acknowledged the economy has changed the way he travels, which is why he and his girlfriend slept in their car instead of getting a motel room when a heavy, wet snowstorm flared up along the New York State Thruway during their 20-hour drive from New Hampshire to St. Louis.

“Americans will still do what Americans do. We travel the roads,” he said.

Some drivers who tried to get an early start along the Pennsylvania Turnpike found themselves stopped by — or stuck in — a gooey, tarlike mess after a tanker truck leaked driveway sealant along nearly 40 miles of highway. At least 150 vehicles were disabled Tuesday night.

Shun Tucker of suburban Chicago decided to spend the holiday with family in Memphis, Tenn., and booked a $49 bus ticket for a ninehour trip south. “Yeah, I could go to the airport, but it’s going to cost me $300,” she said.

Lucretia Verner and her cousin set out on a drive from Tulsa, Okla., to Atlanta.

They said they wouldn’t stop to eat on the way, making do with the water, juice, lunch meat and bread they took with them.

Colette Parr of Las Vegas took flights with connections and switched airlines to save almost $200 on her trip to Newark, N.J. Investment manager Matt Rightmire and his family typically fly on Thanksgiving. This year, they are making the holiday pilgrimage by car from New Hampshire to his in-laws in Youngstown, Ohio. He figured he is saving $1,000.

“It’s family,” he said.

“That’s what the holidays are about: Spending time with family. I don’t really think it’s optional. You may try to find the least expensive way to get there, but you’ve got to see your family.”

for L.T. Ball and Tippecanoe Middle School, but the buildings on Broadway Street are a different matter. According to him, the cost of renovation versus the predicted benefit of doing so is not considerable enough to merit this course of action.

What is being considered, however, is a reorganization of kindergarten through eighth grade levels. The community currently has two separate kindergarten through third grade buildings, Nevin Coppock and Broadway. If the district were to combine kindergarten through second grade into one facility, a considerable amount of money would be saved in staffing expenses and operating costs without increasing classrooms sizes too much.

Dr. John P. Kronour, superintendent, asked, “Do people want to pay more for their schools?”

He feels the reorganization could make the district more cost efficient.

Among the options for new buildings was a new kindergarten through second grade building constructed alongside Broadway and Central. Normal activities would continue until the new facility is ready and, upon completion, the old buildings would be cleared away to create green space.

These old buildings are

considered staples in the community, so the board expects sentimentality from residents. They considered retaining certain aspects of design and appearance or keeping current names in place as a solution to this issue.

On the other hand, the board felt renovating L.T. Ball and the middle school could be worthwhile. By adding windows and more classrooms to L.T. Ball and fixing some issues with the middle school, such as air conditioning, the lifeline of these facilities could be extended up to 50 years without the considerable cost of demolition and construction.

“It’s a long and winding road,” Ruetschle said.

Nothing has been set in stone. Dr. Kronour said that the board is just “trying to put together a timeline for where we’re headed.”

He said alternating committees and community dialogues are expected to start in January to “test the waters” and find the right direction to move forward.

According to Kronour, the back and forth engagement with residents is important to the board, meaning that this process will not be rushed or shoved down the community’s throat.

The board hopes to have reached a consensus on this issue by the end of 2012, giving plenty of time for residents to voice their concerns and get involved.

Think before drinking and driving during holidays The holiday season is about to begin and it is a good time to think about drinking and driving.

In the weeks ahead, there will be parties and gatherings to attend. Alcohol will be available at some of those parties. People will gather in living rooms and barrooms to toast, enjoy each other’s company and gaze at the holiday lights.

One set of lights you do not want to see this holiday season is the flashing lights of a police car in your rearview mirror after you leave that holiday party.

State and local police agencies preach the message all year about the dangers of drinking and driving but it is even more relevant around the holidays.

Overeating and drinking at the holidays are all too easy.

According to Ohio Department of Public Safety crash statistics, November and December have high numbers of crashes involving alcohol.

According to ODPS crash statistics, 431 people were killed in 393 alcohol-related crashes last year, with 41 of those deaths occurring between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day. Think twice before and during those holiday parties about drinking and driving. …

Enjoy the holiday season. Let’s make it a safe one by not getting behind the wheel of the car under the influence of alcohol.

Thank you for your support To the editor: Each fall when the United Way signs start popping up, I am reminded of how lucky I am to live in Troy where the community demonstrates such an attitude of caring. For many years I have been involved with the community organizations that benefit from the hard work of the people who run the United Way campaign and the generosity of the people who donate.

I have seen first hand the difference that your donations make in the lives of the inviduals served by Troy Nursing Association/Troy Milk Fund. Troy Nursing Association is able to provide financial assistance for prescriptions, medical equipment and supplies and medical co-pays.

The Troy Milk Fund provides families with food vouchers and with dental assistance.

We also provide dental supplies and fluoride varnish to chil-

dren in Troy.

Nearly all of the funding for our organization comes from United Way of Troy, allowing us to concentrate our efforts on serving the people who need our services rather than on fundraising.

Our family always feels good about donating to United Way because we know the agency screens the agencies it supports and a high percentage of our donation is used for social service causes. I am very proud of the community I live and work in.

Troy has a social service network that cares for and provides for all of its members. This is due in large part to the work of the United Way Agency.

I wish to thank all who have donated in the past and ask you to again give to the United Way of Troy to allow our social service agencies to continue their good work.

My grandson had to foot the bill To the Editor: We recently moved my young grandson and his family of three small children to Troy so he could attend the Hobart School five days a week until he graduates.

He has been trying to work part time as a waiter at Friendlys for some income.

On Friday, the 19th, he waited on a family of five, their bill was $60, which they walked out on, leaving my grandson responsible to pay.

I certainly hope these people are proud of themselves and I hope their children have a very nice Christmas, as my greatgrandchildren’s will be sparse.

I’ll be sleeping in on Black Friday Troy Troy At some point today — most likely when I’m trying to either A) stuff one more pile of mashed potatoes into my face or B) trying to watch football — my wife is going to come to me and say, “Honey, would you like to go shopping with me at 4 a.m. tomorrow?”

At which point I will reply, “Sweet Pea, I love you more than words can say. But to answer your question...absolutely not.”

She will then ask why I don’t want to go shopping with her on Black Friday.

And I will say, “Because I would probably be miserable and make it an absolutely horrible experience not only for myself, but also for you.”

“But you’ve never been before,” she will say. “How do you know you are going to be miserable and make it an absolutely horrible experience for me?”

“Because I will make it a point to be miserable and make it an absolutely horrible experience for you,” will be my reply. And that will be that.

Except for the part in which she keeps bugging me for the rest of

David Fong Troy Daily News Columnist the day to go with her.

“But think of all the bargains we can get for the kids,” she’ll say.

“If we don’t get all those great bargains, what are we going to get them for Christmas?”

“That’s Santa Claus’ problem, not mine,” will be my answer.

Black Friday takes one of my least favorite activities on the planet — shopping — and somehow finds a way to make it infinitely worse by adding on a whole bunch of other things I hate — namely, early wake-up times, crowds and cold. The only way I could possible see it getting worse is if my friend (a term I use loosely) Randy was somehow involved in the process.

And to be honest, I don’t care

how out-of-this-world the prices and bargains are, either. To be quite honest, they could be passing out gunny sacks filled with gold doubloons to everyone who walked through the door and it probably still wouldn’t be enough to get me out of bed at 4 a.m. just to get elbowed out of the way by crazed shopping moms who, if it meant getting the hottest Christmas toy on the planet, would gladly disembowel me with a rusty spoon.

So no, I will not be joining in the Black Friday festivities tomorrow morning. Which, of course, can only mean one thing — my wife will find some other sort of way to make my life as unpleasant as humanly possible. Like starting the Christmas decorating, for instance.

My wife knows how much I hate decorating for Christmas.

She always says its just because I don’t have any Christmas spirit.

This isn’t true, actually. I hate decorating for the holidays because I don’t have any Christmas spirit AND I’m incredibly lazy.

Fortunately for me, however, I found out a fool-proof plan to get out of decorating our house for

Christmas … I just do a really bad job of it. So bad, in fact, that our house becomes a neighborhood eyesore and she’d just as soon have no Christmas decorations at all as opposed to the abomination I put out there for all the world to see.

Last year, the sum total of my Christmas decorating consisted of pulling the giant ball of lights out of a bin in our garage and hanging the entire tangled mess in a tree in our front yard.

I told her it was “abstract expressionism.” She told me it was “grounds for divorce.”

In any event, I’m hoping I’m not asked to put up the Christmas lights again this year.

I certainly hope everyone enjoys their Black Friday tomorrow, however. As for me, I plan on sleeping in, watching more football and slipping into a leftoversinduced food coma at some point.

And maybe, if I get really ambitious, start looking for a good divorce lawyer.

FBI arrests 7 in Amish haircut attacks MILLERSBURG, (AP) — The leader of a breakaway Amish group allowed the beatings of those who disobeyed him, made some members sleep in a chicken coop and had sexual relations with married women to “cleanse them,” federal authorities said as they charged him and six others with hate crimes in haircutting attacks against other Amish.

Authorities raided the group’s compound in eastern Ohio on Wednesday morning and arrested seven men, including group leader Sam Mullet and three of his sons.

Several members of the group carried out the attacks in September, October and November by forcefully cutting the beards and hair of Amish men and women and then taking photos of them, authorities said.

Cutting the hair is a highly offensive act to the Amish, who believe the Bible instructs women to let their hair grow long and men to grow beards and stop shaving once they marry. One victim told the FBI he would rather have been “beaten black and blue than to suffer the disfigurement and humiliation of having his hair removed,” according to court papers.

The attacks struck at the core of the Amish identity and tested their principles. They are pacifists and strongly believe that they must be forgiving in order for God to forgive them,

DEATHS OF NATIONAL INTEREST • George Gallup Jr. PRINCETON, N.J. (AP) — Pollster George Gallup Jr. has died in New Jersey, a year after being diagnosed with liver cancer, his family said Wednesday. He was 81.

Gallup, the son of Gallup Poll founder George Gallup, died Monday in Princeton, where he lived, according to his family.

The younger Gallup was born in Evanston, Ill., in 1930 and joined the family’s polling organization in 1954, a year after graduating from Princeton University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in religion.

He remained an executive in the company until he retired in 2004. While there, he pushed the polling agency into conducting surveys on religion and the views of youth.

He also wrote several books about Americans’ relationship with religion, including “The Next American Spirituality” in 2002 and “The Saints Among Us” in 1992.

After the polling organization was sold to Omaha, Neb.-based Selection Research in 1988, he founded the George H. Gallup International Institute in honor of his father.

There, he and his wife, Kingsley, who died in 2007, convened seminars by leaders in the fields of health, education, the environment, religion and values to talk about ideas

She performed as Cherubino 129 times and went on to become one of the best-known singers PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — Officially, the national weight limit for freight trucks on interstate highways is 40 tons. In reality, trucks are getting heavier in more states — legally — and advocates for highway safety and the trucking industry are sharply at odds about it.

Trucks heavier than 80,000 pounds are allowed to operate on federal highways in at least 20 states.

Congress added Maine and Vermont to the list last week, granting exceptions to allow trucks up to 100,000 pounds on interstates there for the next 20 years. The change went into effect Friday when President Barack Obama signed it.

Critics say that heavier trucks make highways less safe because they’re harder to control and stop, and that they leave taxpayers on the hook for damage to roads and bridges.

Furthermore, they claim, the latest increases will spur the trucking industry to seek higher limits in other states.

“The trucking industry

to solve some of the problems the Gallup polling helped identify.

Gallup had three children.

A daughter, Alison Gallup, described her father as “an unusual guy, the warmest, most approachable person you ever met.”

He was an adult who had child-like curiosity — and a child-like love of Breyers ice cream, she said.

“He has left an incredible legacy of ethics,” she said.

“I’ve never seen him do anything duplicitous.”

A memorial is set for Jan. 14 at 11 a.m. at Princeton Chapel.

• Paul Motian NEW YORK — Longtime jazz drummer and composer Paul Motian, who came to prominence as a member of pianist Bill Evans’ trio in the late 1950s and influenced a generation of musicians with his astounding sense of time, died Tuesday at age 80.

Motian died at a Manhattan hospital because of complications of a bone marrow disorder, said friend and bandmate Joe Lovano, a tenor saxophonist who began performing with him in 1981.

“He was a hard-swinging free jazz drummer with an uncanny sense of timephrasing and form that was beyond description,” Lovano said.

Jurinac also appeared abroad, including performances at the Royal Opera House in London’s Covent Garden, in San Francisco, Milan and Buenos Aires.

She became a darling of the public at the Salzburg Festival where she sang for the first time in 1947 as Dorabella in Cosi fan tutte.

In a statement, the Salzburg Festival said that Jurinac was one of the artists that helped build Salzburg’s international fame during the postwar years.

“The festival owes magic moments to Sena Jurinac for which both the audience and the press celebrated her alike,” festival president Helga RablStadler said. “The black flag, which will fly at the festival’s house today, is a tiny sign for the great sadness and gratitude that fulfills us.”

Look to kids’ passions for perfect gifts NEW YORK (AP) — To the uninitiated, buying gifts for kids can feel like a treasure hunt without a map through store aisles and websites packed for the holidays. But sussing out clues may not be as difficult as it looks.

Has the young recipient ever offered you one of his homemade cupcakes? Have you seen her tear around on a little ride-on bike? Is the living room often strewn with building bricks or stacking blocks?

Casual buyers looking for presents for children they don’t know well need only focus on general interests. Mom and dad will likely take on the “it” gift of the season, or farm it out to grandma, leaving lots of room for other shoppers, whether the giftee is a builder, baker or bookish.

If that sounds too complicated, reach for the classics in books, apparel or toys, said Rachel Jarrett,

general manager of the children’s department for the sale site Gilt Groupe. A sweater with room for size variation, or mittens or hats, for example. Try toys in wood, including ecofriendly bamboo.

“We do incredibly well with wooden toys,” Jarrett said.

Anne Keane, fashion director for Lucky magazine, suggests keeping it simple. “Generally, staying with moderately classic, small gifts is the easiest route to take for all age groups,” she said.

“Especially if you don’t know the kids that well.”

The handcraft site Etsy.com has unique felt toys, Keane said. And Plan Toys makes a fun woodand-canvas shopping cart on three wheels for toddlers.

Don’t be afraid to think outside the box, Jarrett urged. Wall decor may not feel terribly gifty, but

Wallcandyarts.com has chalkboard decals in the shapes of elephants, apples and circles that would please lots of kids. Room organizers that play into a favorite theme can also be fun.

And there’s nothing wrong with asking your giftee’s parents for a suggestion.

“I think parents do appreciate it when you ask what might make a nice gift,” Jarrett said. “They want to make sure you’re not getting something that maybe somebody else is also getting. It’s a lot to return a toy.”

A few suggestions by interest: HARRY POTTER KIDS Wands: What might the young fan not already have? A beautiful, nearly $40 replica of his favorite character’s wand, perhaps.

TROY DAILY NEWS • WWW.TDN-NET.COM

Teachers, tutors, sitters describe favorite gifts NEW YORK (AP) — Teachers, tutors and baby sitters are among life’s golden helpers, and at holiday time, many of them get thank-you gifts from the kids and families they serve.

A few may be lucky enough to get cash tips or pricey group presents organized by the team or class mom. In some affluent communities, in fact, cash or expensive gift cards for teachers have become a bit of an ethical issue.

But many teachers and caregivers end up with a load of small gifts bought on the fly things like scented candles and cutesy coffee mugs. We asked a few what they’d rather have.

Selena Yang, 22, in East Brunswick, N.J., is a former sit-

ter and teacher’s assistant at a preschool. Edible arrangements were fun, she said, but her best gift was a personalized cover for her Kindle in a white fleur-de-lis pattern against a background of baby blue, her favorite color.

“It had my initials on it,” she said. “Not only was it thoughtful but it was unique.”

The gift also required the givers, the family of one of her charges, to know a little something about her life outside the classroom. That’s a good place to start if you’re looking to up the significance factor.

Another of Yang’s favorites: A family with three kids she once sat for gave her a simple charm bracelet with a heart, a star and a ballet slipper, the latter mark-

ing the 17 years she spent dancing.

Some helpers cherish handmade gifts, cards and drawings, keeping them for years. The simple gesture means a lot to high school teachers, one said, because it indicates a busy, hormonally challenged teen put in some time.

Does the helper drive a lot?

One baby sitter touted an emergency car kit as THE best gift ever.

In San Francisco, Juan Bunci, 31, is a part time SAT tutor. His best ever was a $250 gift card to a website offering harbor cruises, dinners out and a variety of other outings in the Bay Area.

There are many sites filled with fun classes, trips, restau-

rant deals and other amusements and services around the world in a broad range of prices, so look around.

“I used it to go sailing in the bay and also took rock-climbing classes,” he said. “I’m hoping more of my clients give me these because I really don’t want more crappy stuff.”

Candi Wingate, president of the nanny search site Nannies4hire, said a variety of variables are at play when considering holiday cash or other gifts for sitters, including years with the family and the number of children involved.

For Jan Fogel, 59, in Washington, D.C., a generous check meant a lot from one Chevy Chase, Md., family that

had one toddler when she began and three kids by the time she left seven years later.

“It was my first Christmas with the family and they’d given me an envelope just before I left the house,” she said. “While waiting for the metro train home, I opened the envelope and found a check for $1,000. I started to cry.

No one had ever been that generous to me before.”

Wingate suggested tracking down a caregiver’s favorite clothing store for a gift certificate, or offering tickets to the movies, theater, opera, ballet, concerts or sporting events.

She also urged employers to think seriously about how much they can afford and how little the caregiver might have.

Holiday lights are exempt from energy-saving standards (AP) — Love to deck the worry: Holiday lights are light bulbs that will take halls with old-fashioned exempt from the new ener- effect next year.

From outdoor icicle incandescent lights? Don’t gy-saving standards for lights hanging from eaves to strands of twinkle lights wrapped around a Christmas tree, lights used for holiday decorating are considered “specialty bulbs” and aren’t affected by the standards being phased in starting in January.

“To be honest, the little niche of the Christmas light industry already has been fast moving toward LEDs,” said Garth Svenson, president of the Christmas Dove in Barrington, N.H. The store is the largest of its kind in New England, with more 555 N. Market St.,Troy • 339-2602 www.bairdfuneralhome.com than 30 rooms full of Christmas decorations and lights.

Strands of LEDs also are more expensive than incandescents, though the LEDs are much cheaper to run and are often more durable.

The new efficiency standards apply to the familiar household screw-in bulbs, and while they don’t specifically ban traditional incandescents, they require bulbs to have a higher level of efficiency than the classics can produce.

Bake up some delicious, flaky biscuits This is Saturday afternoon. Our day is going differently than expected.

Five of our children are down with the flu.

Daughter Lovina was the first one to get sick, she came home from school yesterday not feeling well.

This morning four more of the children woke up with some sort of bug. It seems to be like a stomach flu. I do hope it leaves our house soon at the rest of us won’t catch it. A lot of my day has been spent taking care of the sick. I decided to sit down and write my column in between taking care of the children.

None of them seem to want to eat but I have been giving them liquids to keep them hydrated.

Meanwhile, husband Joe is out deer hunting with son Benjamin. Well, Benjamin is really just going along for the fun of it. Some friends that live nearby have offered for Joe to hunt their woods. Joe doesn’t have any work next week so he should have time to go deer hunting then also.

Joe and Benjamin left early this morning before daylight and while they saw a deer they didn‘t get it. Most of the children said they weren’t hungry but I still made breakfast.

I made biscuits, sausage gravy and fried eggs.

Joe and Benjamin were glad to see the breakfast when they came home around 9:30.

Daughter Loretta washed dishes and swept

THE AMISH COOK

Lovina Eicher Troy Daily News Guest Columnist floors for me.

So far she is not on the sick list and has done a good job of helping me around the house. I brought all the laundry up from the basement that we had washed yesterday.

Everything was dry so we folded it and put it away. I hung a few pieces outside yesterday but it was so cold and windy it would have been hard to keep all the clothes on the wash line.

I sure do appreciate the lines put in the basement to dry clothes in the winter months. With the coalstove being down there it does not take long for clothes to dry. I am glad we did our weekly cleaning yesterday so that is off the list. Also glad we did the laundry.

Daughter Elizabeth baked some “outrageous chocolate chip cookies” yesterday. They are delicious but not going as fast as they usually do with all the sickness around.

Hopefully this flu will be gone by Thanksgiving.

Thanksgiving menu hides sodium intake WASHINGTON (AP) — No need for a salt shaker on the Thanksgiving table: Unless you really cooked from scratch, there’s lots of sodium already hidden in the menu.

Stealth sodium can do a number on your blood pressure. Americans eat way too much salt, and most of it comes inside common processed foods and restaurant meals.

The traditional Thanksgiving fixings show how easy sodium can sneak into the foods you’d least expect. Yes, raw turkey is naturally low in sodium.

But sometimes a turkey or turkey breast is injected with salt water to plump it, adding a hefty dose of sodium before it even reaches the store — something you’d have to read the fine print to discover.

From the stuffing mix to the green bean casserole to even pumpkin pie, a lot of people can reach their daily sodium allotment or more in that one big meal unless the cook employs some tricks.

“For Thanksgiving or any meal, the more you can cook from scratch and have some control over the sodi-

um that’s going in, the better,” says the American Dietetic Association’s Bethany Thayer, a registered dietitian at the Henry Ford Health Health System in Detroit.

The Food and Drug Administration this month opened deliberations on how to cut enough salt in processed foods for average shoppers to have a good shot at meeting new dietary guidelines. The idea: If sodium levels gradually drop in the overall food supply, it will ease the nation’s epidemic of high blood pressure — and our salt-riddled taste buds will have time to adjust to the new flavor.

“Reducing sodium is important for nearly everyone,” Dr. Robin Ikeda of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention told the FDA hearing.

The question is how to make that happen. The prestigious Institute of Medicine and several public health advocates are urging the FDA to order gradual rollbacks, setting different sodium levels for different kinds of foods, a step the government has been reluctant to take.

“Mom, I know the days of the week now.” I was amazed that he knew them. Last night he came home and said “Mom I can count to 100 by fives and started counting.”

He was oh-so-proud to come home with a certificate saying he could count to 100 and wanted me to hang it on the refrigerator.

He said “now I need to learn how to count to one million.”

Lovina, 7, is a good help with Kevin.

She is always trying to teach him new things that she is learning in first grade.

I bought a 24 pound turkey and we plan to have Jacob and Emma’s here for Thanksgiving dinner. This week will go fast with Joe being home and only a three-day school week. The first semester of school is already over and report cards were handed out.

Verena seems to be doing well with her school work despite all that has gone on with her over the past 1 1 /2.

Kevin, 6, is always excited to come home from school to let me know if he has learned something new. One evening when we were eating supper he said

Our thoughts and prayers are with our friend Linda and family as she struggles with cancer. May God be with them as they go through this trial of life.

Linda’s husband and daughter are both teachers at our school and her son has been our children’s bus driver for years.

May God bless them and all of you wonderful readers. I will share a new biscuit recipe that I tried this morning.

They turned out nice and flaky. I like to try different kinds of biscuits instead of using the same ones all the time.

SOUTHERN BISCUITS 2 cups sifted flour 4 teaspoons baking powder 1 /2 teaspoon salt 1 /2 teaspoon cream of tartar 2 tablespoons sugar 1 /2 cup shortening 1 egg, beaten 2 /3 cup milk Preheat the oven to 450. In a large bowl, mix flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, and cream of tartar.

Add shortening and blend.

Pour the milk into the mixture slowly.

Add egg and stir until well blended. More flour can be added if needed. Drop by tablespoon onto cookie sheet and bake 12 to 15 minutes at 450.

Great slate of games set for Thanksgiving

By The Associated Press After so many years of bad Detroit Lions teams and their games, no matter the week, meaning so little all of a sudden that traditional Turkey Day contest in the Motor City is no turkey at all.

Detroit, which is 7-3, hosts the reigning Super Bowl champion Green Bay Packers, who are 10-0, to open a tremendously compelling three-game NFL feast Thursday.

The always-polarizing Dallas

Cowboys (6-4) host the Miami Dolphins (3-7) next in a matchup between two teams on threegame winning streaks, and the San Francisco 49ers (9-1) are at the Baltimore Ravens (7-3) at night in the Harbaugh Bowl, the first time two brothers will face each other as head coaches in the league.

Troy's Nick Usserman is one of a trio of seniors providing leadership for the Trojans this season.

Collective confidence PSU disciplinary issues a concern A Penn State administrator responsible for overseeing student discipline said former coach Joe Paterno did not have the authority to change his office’s decisions when football players were sanctioned.

Joe Puzycki said Tuesday night in an email to The Associated Press that “we adjudicated athlete cases the same as we did any other student” though Paterno was vocal in sharing his opinions.

QB undefeated on Thanksgiving, leads Dallas against Miami

The Trojans return the majority of the major players from their team that finished the season with an overall record of 16-13-3 — after starting it off 0-5-2.

“They’re entering this year with a lot of confidence,” Troy coach Larrell Walters said. “They played well together last year, and they know that they did that and won games. This year we were able to jump right into learning advanced systems.”

But it wasn’t just last year that the Trojans played together.

Two of the team’s three seniors – captains Nick Usserman and Sean FILE PHOTO COURTESY LEE WOOLERY/SPEEDSHOT PHOTO Clawson – are four-year players, and five of the team’s six juniors are three- Troy’s Austin Erisman sends a pass up the ice last sea-

IRVING, Texas (AP) — The first time Tony Romo started a Thanksgiving game for the Dallas Cowboys “Romo-mania” was so frenzied that a group of fans strung together the letters in his name and hung it alongside the Ring of Honor at Texas Stadium.

Security guards made the fans take it down before kickoff, which sure looked foolish considering what Romo did next: five touchdown passes, tying a club record, all in just the first three quarters. Club owner Jerry Jones was so giddy afterward that he joked about firing those security guards.

Five years later, Romo has yet to live up to the hope and hype of those heady days.

But another wave of “Romomania” may not be far away.

Romo goes into a Thanksgiving game against Miami looking on one of the best rolls of his career. He’s gone three straight games without an interception, and Dallas has won them all, pushing the Cowboys into a tie for first place in the NFC East.

The timing is great for him as he’s made a tradition of shining on this holiday. Romo is 4-0 on

son. Erisman is one of six strong juniors returning to ■ See TROJANS on 11 the Trojans’ lineup this season.

Indians reach deal with Sizemore

Fickell faces big game, many questions

Grady Sizemore’s trip into free agency didn’t take him far.

The Cleveland Indians have agreed to terms with the former All-Star outfielder on a one-year, incentive-based contract. It’s a deal that could work for both sides if he can stay healthy and on the field.

The Indians declined a $9 million option for 2012 last month on Sizemore, who has undergone five surgeries the past two years and has only played in 210 games the last three seasons because of injuries. Sizemore reportedly drew interest as a free agent from several other teams, but decided to come back to Cleveland.

See Page 11.

Meyer says no offer has been made by OSU COLUMBUS (AP) — Even armchair coaches wouldn’t want Luke Fickell’s job this week.

Ohio State’s interim coach is preparing the Buckeyes for their biggest game of the season, a trek to The Big House to take on archrival Michigan on Saturday.

On top of that, he’s fending off questions about his future.

Published reports have said that former Florida coach Urban Meyer has already reached an agreement in principle with Ohio State to take over the football program next season, although no one is confirming anything.

“Maybe the good thing is at least we have this game to focus on,” center Mike Brewster said of the distractions swirling around the Buckeyes. “What happens

after that, who knows? The younger guys I’m sure their heads are spinning a little bit. We hear stuff. We read everything.

Who knows what’s true and what’s not?”

Fickell is working on a oneyear, $775,000 contract as head coach. A native of Columbus, a lifelong fan of the Buckeyes, he has no real guarantees beyond this year.

As if that weren’t enough, he’s also had to deal with looming

NCAA sanctions, recruiting work and a likely trip to a bowl game.

Yet he says he tries to live a normal life as normal a life as there can be for a 38-year-old husband and father of four small children while the weight of a state sits squarely on his shoulders.

“You live in a bubble, so to speak, in some ways,” he said. “(When) I get a chance to go home, if my kids are up, then I

■ CONTINUED FROM 10 enticing Thanksgiving Day lineup in decades.

“That’s good. Good for the NFL, good for the fans, good for the people,” Minnesota Vikings linebacker Erin Henderson said. “Something entertaining to watch while we all stuff our faces with that good food.”

Not convinced this is a special tripleheader?

Consider: The six teams are 42-18, which translates to a .700 winning percentage. The last time the holiday’s NFL participants boasted that strong a combined win-loss record was 1975 (also .700).

It’s the first Thanksgiving since 1998 when there were only two games that each club in action won its previous game.

The Packers are the first unbeaten team to play on the fourth Thursday in November since the 1962 Packers also were 10-0, before losing to Detroit.

Including the playoffs, Green Bay has won its last 16 games in a row.

San Francisco coach Jim Harbaugh will match wits with his older brother, Baltimore coach John Harbaugh, in a game for family bragging rights and with significant playoffseeding implications.

Even the game that was shaping up as a dud, Miami at Dallas, now becomes worth watching, because the Dolphins are the only team in NFL history to go from 07 to 3-7 and present a real challenge to the recently resurgent Cowboys and quarterback Tony Romo (who, by the way, is 18-2 with 49 touchdown passes and 12 interceptions for his career in November).

The lineup includes four teams with at least a share of first place (Green Bay, San Francisco, Baltimore and Dallas), two who can clinch a playoff berth this week (Packers, 49ers), and one with the inside track for a wild-card berth (Detroit).

Mr. Paterno disagreed with our handling of a situation he would openly articulate that position to me. This position in itself, though, never changed my or my staff ’s decisions,” Puzycki told the AP. “Mr. Paterno in his position as a coach simply did not have the authority to change any of our decisions. That could only be done through formal student appeal or administrative review.”

Triponey resigned her post as the university’s standards and conduct officer in 2007. Reached by the AP at her home in Charleston, S.C., Triponey confirmed that she sent a 2005 email to then-president Graham Spanier and others in which she expressed her concerns about how Penn State handled discipline cases involving football players.

The Wall Street Journal published excerpts from the email on Tuesday.

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) — A Penn State administrator responsible for overseeing student discipline said former coach Joe Paterno did not have the authority to change his office’s decisions when football players were sanctioned.

Joe Puzycki said Tuesday night in an email to The Associated Press that “we adjudicated athlete cases the same as we did any other student” though Paterno was vocal in sharing his opinions.

The interactions outlined by Puzycki, currently a university assistant vice president, offer a contrasting view to comments made by former student affairs vice president Vicki Triponey, to whom Puzycki once reported. Triponey said Paterno’s players got in trouble more often than other students, and got special treatment compared to non-athletes.

“In some cases where

The email surfaced as Penn State is reeling in the aftermath of criminal charges filed this month against Jerry Sandusky, a former assistant football coach accused of molesting eight boys, some on campus, over a 15-year period.

Paterno “is insistent he knows best how to disci-

pline his players … and their status as a student when they commit violations of our standards should NOT be our concern … and I think he was saying we should treat football players different from other students in this regard,” Triponey wrote in the Aug. 12, 2005, email.

NFL Preview ■ CONTINUED FROM 10 Thanksgivings, having thrown 12 touchdowns and just two interceptions. (He missed last year’s game because of a broken collarbone.)

Miami presents an intriguing challenge.

The Dolphins are only 37, but they’ve won three straight and haven’t allowed a touchdown in any of those games. Plus, their roster, coaching staff and front office are filled with guys who worked with Romo in Dallas, perhaps giving them a degree of insight that goes beyond the usual scouting reports.

• 49ers at Ravens SANTA CLARA, Calif.

— Jack Harbaugh has watched his sons go at it for nearly five decades.

From pounding football games on their bedroom floor to timed races up the stairs from the basement and many, many bumps and bruises in between.

That’s why he sees no need to be there in person for today’s matchup an NFL first between brothers John and Jim Harbaugh when the coaches face off from opposite sidelines with their division-leading teams.

Jack and Jackie Harbaugh plan to swing by the stadium for a quick visit and photo with their sons, then go to John’s house to watch the game on TV in private.

All they want to do is allow the stage to be John and Jim’s, Jack said.

The love of competition was bred into the brothers.

Sons of a football coach, living room couches were rearranged so they could dive over the coffee table and use cushions for tackling practice. Coat hangers were bent to become basketball hoops and yarn transformed into homemade nets. There were hand-written scorecards and scoreboards.

The brothers devised their own games and, creatively, became announcers to introduce each other before they started.

“Starting at forward for Michigan, standing 4-feet-5, wearing No. 23, Jim Harbaugh!” Jack said, recalling one of those announcements.

Come tonight at the

sold-out M&T Bank Stadium, there’s no make believe about it.

Jim’s resurgent 49ers are 9-1 and could clinch the NFC West with a win coupled with a loss for the Seahawks. John’s Ravens are 7-3 and leading the AFC North.

“We know it’s going to be emotional, we’re just not sure what emotions we’re going to experience,” Jack said. “It’s such uncharted waters. We’ve experienced it in this business being married for 50 years and coaching 43 years myself. And football and basketball and all the other things we’ve had in our family. This is such uncharted waters to see two in our family competing at this level on this stage.”

• Packers at Detroit GREEN BAY, Wis. — Green Bay Packers right tackle Bryan Bulaga didn’t necessarily need a reminder of just how badly he and his teammates got tossed around the last time they played the Lions in Detroit.

He got one anyway.

This week, Packers linemen got together on their own to watch film of last year’s miserable 7-3 loss at Ford Field an early step in their preparation for today’s much-hyped game in Detroit.

The reigning Super Bowl champions are 10-0 going into a big Thanksgiving Day showcase and have been unstoppable at times on offense, but watching last year’s film was humbling.

“We were actually just watching that game, and we did not play well,” Bulaga said. “Didn’t do anything well, really. It was just a poorly played game. That may be a nice way of putting it, too.”

The Packers were forced to shuffle their offensive line on the fly in that game after an early knee injury to then-left guard Daryn Colledge. Jason Spitz replaced him, struggled, and was replaced by T.J. Lang.

The Packers couldn’t get anything going on offense, and the Lions knocked Aaron Rodgers out of the game near the end of the first half with a concussion.

Backup Matt Flynn struggled, too, and a late attempt at a rally came up short.

Troy’s Brandon Beaty (left) and Logan Tiderington (right) are two returning players that will add firepower to a very potent Trojan team this season.

Trojans ■ CONTINUED FROM 10 year players.

And they’re all ready to succeed from the get-go.

“We’ve got a team that has played together for a long time,” Walters said.

“All of the returning players have shown great leadership.

“The kids have been great. They’re taking it very seriously and working hard in practice. It’s refreshing to see kids that want to work. They’re putting the pressure on themselves to do well, and it shows in their work ethic.”

And amongst the massive corps of returners in seniors Usserman and Clawson, juniors Logan Tiderington, Brandon Beaty, Austin Erisman, Michael Walter, Andrew Stang and Jake Eldridge and sophomores Eric Wright and Grayson Loerke is a sizeable portion of the Trojans’ offense

from last season.

Usserman scored 28 points and had a plusminus of plus-28, Beaty scored 22 points and was plus-15, Clawson scored 21 points, Tiderington scored 17 points and was plus-13 and Erisman scored 15 points and led the team at plus-29.

After going 3-1 in the preseason, the Trojans enter the season averaging 28 shots per game and allowing an average of 20.

“We want to keep those things up,” Walters said.

“We took more shots than the opposition last year, and we’re seeing that again this preseason.”

Veteran goaltender Eldridge returns after posting an 89 percent save percentage and a 2.5 goals against average in 22 games, and Wright returns after going 7-3 in his starts.

The Trojans also boast

a few new faces, though, including first-year senior Derrick Bark and freshmen Clay Terrill, Will Schober, Ian Ward and Drew Morgan.

“Derrick has played hockey at a very high level, and now he’s playing for the high school team for the first time,” Walters said. “And the freshmen have jumped right in and are playing strong.”

As are all of the Trojans — something they plan on doing from the start and not letting up.

“We look to be very strong on defense. I’d say our defense could match up with anyone in Southwest Ohio, and we have two goaltenders that can keep us in any game.

“We’re looking to have a good run because we’re going to be in every game we play. We’ve got a lot of potential this year.”

CLEVELAND (AP) — Grady Sizemore’s trip into free agency didn’t take him far.

The Cleveland Indians have agreed to terms with the former All-Star outfielder on a one-year, incentive-based contract.

It’s a deal that could work for both sides if he can stay healthy and on the field.

The Indians declined a $9 million option for 2012 last month on Sizemore, who has undergone five surgeries the past two years and has only played in 210 games the last three seasons because of injuries. Sizemore reportedly drew interest as a free agent from several other teams, but decided to come back to Cleveland.

Sizemore’s base salary in 2012 will be $5 million and he can make another $4 million based on plate appearances. The deal also includes an awards package that includes $500,000 if Sizemore is selected comeback player of the year.

“The Indians were aggressive in wanting to keep Grady, and he has said all along he would keep an open mind toward returning,” his agent, Joe Urbon, said in an email.

“He appreciates the interest from other clubs, and he just felt that the best place to reassert himself as a great player is in Cleveland.”

And you just try to get yourself away for a few minutes.”

He took the job on an interim basis before Jim Tressel had even stepped aside. Ohio State learned last December that several football players had gotten cash and tattoos from the focus of a federal drug-trafficking probe. It was later determined that Tressel knew about the NCAA violations, didn’t tell his bosses, lied on a compliance form and then played ineligible players throughout the 2010 season.

Tressel was suspended for two games, then five, then eventually forced to resign on May 30. Fickell, a defensive assistant

coach at his alma mater where he started at nose guard for four years, took Tressel’s place.

There have been untold trials and tribulations since, including the early departure of junior quarterback Terrelle Pryor to the NFL, several other NCAA suspensions, critical injuries and a tumultuous season (6-5, 3-4 Big Ten) in a city where football turmoil isn’t readily accepted.

But along the way, during this emotional year and even before, Fickell has acquired many admirers. His counterpart at No. 17 Michigan (9-2, 5-2), Brady Hoke, has known him for some time. He empathizes with what Fickell is going through.

“Well, it’s always tough. Luke is a guy who I have a lot respect for,” Hoke said this week. He also called Fickell and members of his staff “real-

ly good people.”

Fickell’s players seem to genuinely like him.

Their loyalty isn’t feigned, nor is their desire to try to fix this difficult year by winning on Saturday.

“You fight for this team, you fight for the program, you fight for the university but the person I’m fighting for, that I support no matter what, is Coach Fickell,” defensive back Tyler Moeller said. “He has done a great job this year with the circumstances. He’s a winner, he’s a Buckeye through and through.

He’s a great coach and I have his back no matter what.”

Of course, the wins and losses are the bottom line.

But some counsel there are other considerations.

“He was thrown into a very tough situation,” Brewster said. “There’s other parts to be judged as far as keeping us

together like he has. And it’s been crazy coming up on 12 months and we made it out in one piece. It wasn’t the season I imagined but the fact my buddies and I stayed together, I’ll remember that.”

Just like he has throughout the autumns for most of his adult life, Fickell is preparing for another Ohio State football game this Saturday.

He refuses to look back on the past few months for fear it might take away even a second he could spend trying to come up with anything he could do to make a difference in the game.

“I figure that after the season, when you have some time to actually relax a little bit and reflect, you’ll do that,” he said. “That doesn’t mean I haven’t taken notes on every situation and every decision that I’ve made, good or bad.”

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Be filled with many thanks on this day Dear Readers: Happy Thanksgiving! We hope you are fortunate enough to be spending the holiday with family and friends. And an extra shout-out to those readers who are spending the day volunteering at shelters and soup kitchens. Bless you for your kind hearts and generosity of spirit.

Here is one of Ann Landers' favorite essays, which we feel is quite appropriate for Thanksgiving: I Asked God (author unknown) I asked God for strength, that I might achieve.

I was made weak, that I might learn to obey.

I asked for health, that I might do greater things.

I was given infirmity, that I might do better things.

I asked for riches, that I might be happy.

I was given poverty, that I might be wise.

I asked for power, that I might have the praise of men.

I was given weakness, that I might feel the need of God. I asked for all things, that I might enjoy life.

I was given life, that I might enjoy all things.

I got nothing that I asked for — but everything I had hoped for.

Almost despite myself, my unspoken prayers were answered.

I am, among all men, most richly blessed.

Dear Readers: This was written many years ago by Judy Vekasy, a registered nurse and director of activities in a nursing home in Savannah, Tenn., and it appeared several times in Ann Landers' column. It originally appeared in the Memphis Commercial Appeal. For those with some spare time this week, please stop by any nursing home and volunteer: You say you can't do anything.

Can you read? Good. Read to me.

My eyes aren't what they used to be.

Can you write? Good. Write a letter or a card for me. My hands are shaky.

Can you sing? Good. Help me with the words and I'll sing along.

Can you tell me about your job? I was a nurse once myself.

Can you listen? Wonderful.

I'm starved for conversation.

Can you bake a sponge cake or zucchini bread or angel biscuits or make fudge? They aren't on the nursing home menu, but I remember how good they were and I would like to taste them again.

Do you play checkers or dominoes or rummy? Fine, so do I, but there is never anyone who has the time. They are understaffed around here, you know.

Do you play the violin or the flute or the piano? My hearing is poor, but I can hear any kind of music. Even if I fall asleep, you'll know I enjoyed it.

Once we were somebodies, just like you. We were farmers and farmers' wives and teachers, nurses, beauticians, stockbrokers and electricians, bankers and sheriffs and maybe a few outlaws, too. We're not all senile -just old and needing more help than our families can give us.

This home, whatever its name, is "home" to us and you're an invited guest. Please come. The welcome mat is always out and not just on Thanksgiving. I hope you will keep this and read it again in January, February, and every other month of the year. We'll still be here and our needs will be the same.

YESTERDAY’S SOLUTION:

HINTS FROM HELOISE

Check your roof for winter readiness Dear Heloise: In the winter months, a home’s first measure of protection against rain and snow is the ROOF. A roofing manufacturer offers these hints for how to get your roof ready for the cold winter: • Start off by checking the roof ’s framing structure to make sure it is not compromised. Visually scan the roof for any sagging or uneven areas.

• Inspect the gutter systems to make sure they are not clogged with branches, leaves or other debris.

Hints from Heloise Columnist • Make sure that gutters are fastened properly, and are tight and secure.

• Check the valleys of the roof to ensure that they also are free and clear of debris that can add weight to the roof and also act as a barrier to rain and snow.

• One of the most common causes of roofing leaks is with flashing. Remember that flashings can be loosened or torn by high winds and heavy rains.

• You should walk around to carefully inspect the shingles on the roof — look for curling or missing granules, and certainly for missing shingles or damage from birds, rodents or squirrels. — Kathryn K. in Massachusetts Good points to know. It’s time to take a walk around the house. — Heloise

TWO HELPFUL HINTS Dear Readers: Here are two hints from Shirley B. in Houston: TRAVEL HINT The paper envelopes that motels and hotels give you to hold your room cards make excellent protection for credit cards, especially those you use the most. They are exactly the same size, and the cards fit right in.

(Heloise here: The covers you get from gift cards at mega retailers also are handy to slip credit or even ATM cards into!)

HOROSCOPE Thursday, Nov. 24, 2011 Because you’ll likely be inspired to work harder in order to take care of those you love, the year ahead could turn out to be a far more prosperous one than usual. In attempting to provide well for your kin, you’ll do so for yourself.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — A strange set of circumstances could lead to you hearing from certain people whom you haven’t talked to for some time. It may be good news that has them calling.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — From sunup to sundown, be alert for great opportunities to better your life.

Certain good things that happen to you may occur just because you’re in the right spot at the right time.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — If you approach the objectives you’re seeking in a practical, realistic manner, your hopes and expectations will have better-than-normal chances of being fulfilled.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — This is likely to be a day of many substantial achievements. Even if your success appears to others to be rather easy in the making, you’ll know differently.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) — One of the things you can do well is deal with groups — and the larger the better.

You’re especially well equipped to handle bigwigs who could be in attendance.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Unfortunately, you might have to deal with two individuals whom the world has treated badly. However, if you follow your compassionate instincts, you’ll say all the right things to put them at ease.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — It won’t be from textbooks that you’ll learn some of the greatest lessons of your life. A big one may come from a personal experience that’ll prove to be invaluable.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) — You’re presently in a cycle where some kind of service or expertise you’ve acquired will be responsible for generating far more returns than you ever garnered previously.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — If you want to earn a “good guy/gal” title, make an effort to treat others the way you would like to be treated. The golden rule is still one of the best edicts you can put into practice.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Just when you’re not looking for it, a solution to a problem nobody has been able to resolve may be found. It’ll be something that affects everybody, not just you.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Even if you feel a great need to be around people, you’ll still be extremely selective in choosing with whom you want to spend your time. Quality will take precedence.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Although you’re likely to be luckier than usual in situations pertaining to your earnings, you’ll still need to be selective regarding what you get yourself involved in. Keep a cool noggin.

TODAY IN HISTORY (AP) — Today is Thursday, Nov. 24, the 328th day of 2011. There are 37 days left in the year. This is Thanksgiving Day. Today’s Highlight in History: On Nov. 24, 1971, a hijacker calling himself “Dan Cooper” (but who became popularly known as “D.B. Cooper”) parachuted from a Northwest Orient Airlines 727 somewhere over the Pacific Northwest after receiving $200,000 dollars in ransom his fate remains unknown.

On this date: • In 1784, Zachary Taylor, the

President John F. Kennedy, in a scene captured on live television.

• In 1987, the United States and the Soviet Union agreed on terms to scrap shorter- and medium-range missiles.

• In 1991, rock singer Freddie Mercury died in London at age 45 of AIDS-related pneumonia.

• Today’s Birthdays: Basketball Hall of Famer Oscar Robertson is 73. Actor Colin Hanks is 34. Actress Katherine Heigl (HY’guhl) (TV: “Grey’s Anatomy”) is 33.

Actress Sarah Hyland (TV: “Modern Family”) is 21.

12th president of the United States, was born in Orange County, Va. • In 1859, British naturalist Charles Darwin published “On the Origin of Species,” which explained his theory of evolution by means of natural selection.

• In 1863, the Civil War Battle of Lookout Mountain began in Tennessee; Union forces succeeded in taking the mountain from the Confederates.

• In 1963, Jack Ruby shot and mortally wounded Lee Harvey Oswald, the accused assassin of

Magnitude-5.9 quake hits near Japan nuclear site The U.S. Geological Survey said the magnitude-5.9 quake struck shortly before 4:30 a.m. local time.

It hit 62 miles (101 kilometers) east of the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant.

The quake struck at a depth of 23 miles (37 kilometers).

The quake struck 151 miles (244 kilometers) northeast of Tokyo.

The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center did not immediately issue a

tsunami alert.

Similar quakes have struck in the region since a March 11 magnitude9.0 earthquake and tsunami wiped out part of northeastern Japan’s coast and left nearly 20,000 people dead or

missing.

The March tsunami also touched off a nuclear crisis when it heavily damaged the Fukushima plant, forcing about 100,000 people to flee their homes. They still have no idea when they

105 Announcements

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.
