Shooter’s Paradise seeing plenty of customers

BY MELANIE YINGST Staff Writer myingst@tdnpublishing.com During Tuesday’s presidential town hall debate, President Barack Obama and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney discussed gun control.

TROY At Shooter’s Paradise, owner Jonathan Workman said sales of guns are up and approximately 30 to 50 people come through the door daily and up to 125 people on weekends.

“Firearms are getting extremely hard to purchase from manufacturers — it’s about a two- to 10month backorder,” Jonathan Workman said Thursday.

He said approximately 400 guns have been sold from the store located in Concord Township — only 8 feet away from the Troy city

limits. Shooter’s Paradise, the only gun shop in Miami County, opened on June 1 this year.

During the town hall debate, Obama said his administration has “done a much better job in terms of background checks, but we’ve got more to do when it comes to enforcement.”

Book store owners love horror For the cast and crew at Around About Books in Troy, Halloween means horror.

“Horror,” however, has a different meaning for coowners Mike Wilkinson, Dave Crouse and Sue Cantrell.

“Horror creates a family,” Wilkinson said. “It’s a small smattering of people that share a common love of horror movies.

You’ll meet a lot of people that say, ‘Sure, I like horror movies.’ But they don’t love horror movies.” See

Senate faceoff nasty, costly

COLUMBUS (AP) — Job experience has surfaced as the defining issue of the hotly contested, superexpensive fight for Ohio’s Senate STAFF PHOTOS/ANTHONY WEBER seat this fall.

Incumbent Democratic Sherrod Bart Denlinger discusses the design of the homes built by Denlinger & Sons Builders Inc. Brown faces Republican Josh Mandel in the race, which is one of the highest-profile contests in the country.

Brown’s liberal voting record and surprise victory six years ago over incumbent Mike DeWine in a closely divided battleground state make him a prime target for Republicans seeking to gain Senate seats.

Guns The average time it takes to purchase a gun from Shooter’s Paradise — up to six minutes, according to Workman. Sales include new guns, but many sales are for used handguns or rifles from people who come to his store at 542 N. Elm St. Workman explained a background check through the FBI takes approximately two to six minutes.

Workman said only two individuals have been denied the sale of a gun from their store in the four months of operation.

Workman said sales of all military weapons, such as machine guns, are illegal. Workman agreed history shows an increase in gun sales when a Democrat is in the Oval Office.

“It worries a lot of people who come in the store,” Workman said. “Every time the president talks about limiting gun rights, people get concerned.”

At the town hall debate, Nina Gonzalez asked the president what his administration had done or planned to do to limit the

availability of assault weapons.

During the town hall debate, Obama said, “I believe in the second amendment. We’ve got a long tradition of hunting and sportsmen and people who want to make sure they can protect themselves.”

Obama also said he had visited with people who have been directly affected by gun violence, including victims of the Aurora Colorado movie theater shooting a few months ago.

On July 20, 2012, a mass shooting occurred at a movie theater in Aurora during a midnight screening of the film The Dark Knight Rises. The sole suspect, James Eagan Holmes, dressed in tactical clothing, set off tear gas grenades and shot into the audience with multiple firearms, killing 12 people and injuring 58 others.

“If one person had a gun on them during Aurora, less people would have been killed,” Shooter’s Paradise co-owner Rich Workman said. “Crime is up, people don’t have jobs and people need to protect themselves.”

And for many, it’s the protection people are seeking or the love of sport, when they walk through the doors of Shooter’s Paradise.

“We are seeing a lot of first-time gun owners here,” Jonathon Workman said. He said many firsttime gun owners purchase guns for home protection.

They said they encourage all first-time gun owners to take the National Rifle Association’s basic course and Concealed Carry Weapons classes, both offered at the store.

“Home defense is a big deal right now,” Workman said. He said he recommends a versatile shot gun for first-time owners, which he touts as a “great home protection gun.”

Rich Workman said he believes in gun ownership as part of the nation’s basic rights, and,”We provide hands-on training and how to control and properly handle a gun.”

“You take away a man’s gun, you take away their freedom — that’s history,” Rich said. And that history means more gun sales during presidential election years for the gun shop.

veteran who served two tours in Iraq, he’s proven a gifted fundraiser. Married into the well-heeled Ratner family of Cleveland, Mandel has raised $8.4 million to Brown’s $10.5 million, according to the most recent federal election filings.

But more than half the money being spent on the race is coming from outside groups. Wesleyan found more than 53 percent of the September spending came from non-campaign entities. On behalf of Mandel, they’ve included the GPS Crossroads organization affiliated with former Bush strategist Karl Rove and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. On behalf of the National Brown, Education Association and other unions are putting money into the race.

At a September rally with AK Steel workers and other unions, Brown ripped

the blitz of negative campaign ads aimed at him.

“You can’t turn on your TV without seeing these nasty ads,” he said.

The ads take on someone well-known to Ohio voters. Brown began his political career in 1974 as the youngest state representative in Ohio history, and went on to serve as secretary of state and congressman.

Brown has campaigned alongside President Barack Obama, touting their shared support for the federal health care overhaul and the bailout of the auto industry so pivotal to the manufacturing state’s economy.

Married to Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Connie Schultz, Brown had opened up a lead of 7 to 10 points in polls taken before the first presidential debate.

Mandel was elected to his first statewide office in 2010 after stints as a stu-

dent body president at Ohio State University, Cleveland-area city councilman and state legislator.

He has shared polling with donors showing dedicated voters are in his corner.

He has joined Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney in appearances around the state and could benefit from a post-debate bump.

Mandel touts his fiscal conservatism and support for Washington reforms such as salary restraint and term limits.

“When you look in the dictionary under ‘career politician,’ you see a picture of Sherrod Brown,” said Mandel, who is 35. Brown is 59.

Mandel has faced a steady stream of criticism: for hiring friends and political operatives into his state office, for being a noshow to his official state duties, and for accepting donations later targeted in an FBI probe

Police report that more than 40 percent of all robberies now involve cell phones.

And cell phone thefts in Los Angeles, which account for more than a quarter of all the city’s robberies, are up 27 percent from this time a year ago, police said.

“This is your modernday purse snatching,” said longtime San Francisco Police Capt.

I don’t even like to call them basements, because they don’t look like what you’d call a basement. It’s more of a lower level, with a living space, kitchenette and open staircase.”

Denlinger said the single-level homes have been gaining in popularity over the last three years, among all demographics — couples with young children, empty-nesters and everyone in between.

“I call these a universal living house, from the time you’re 25 to 85,” he said.

A shift has occurred recently in the design of new homes, he added.

Stonebridge Meadows homes will have minimum square footage of 1,800, whereas Stonebridge had 2,100. The model home at Stonebridge is priced at $419,000, while the one at Stonebridge Meadows will be approximately $375,000.

Workman was to demonstrate the QC40 close quarter 40SW caliber gun at the Miami County Sheriff ’s Office training quarters Friday. The gun Workman designed for law enforcement uses policeissued ammunition and can be loaded from the officer’s own handgun clip.

Workman designed the gun to be shorter in length so officers are able to reach out with their free hand without lowering the barrel to open doors.

Workman, along with his dad Rich, said many people have been to their store, which also offers classes in pepper spray defense, advanced firearms and women’s self-defense classes throughout the year.

Both Workmans explained how the new business will eventually expand due to the number of people walking into their store.

“We have to move things around because we get so many people in here on the weekends,” Workman said.

Senate • Continued from A1

During the town hall debate, Obama pointed out how Romney signed an assault weapons bans as governor of Massachusetts.

Romney defended the state bill as being a bipartisan piece of legislation.

Endorsed by the National Rifle Association, Romney said during the debate, the assault weapons ban also opened more opportunities for hunting that had not been available in the state prior to its signing.

Workman also explained how basic ammunition is hard to come by due to supply and demand. Workman said ammunition is sold at retail cost because of the high demand and low supply.

“Ammo is extremely hard to get,” Workman said. “We have a hard time keeping it on the shelves.”

Workman, who has a manufacturing license and is an auxiliary member of the Troy Police Department, showed his latest innovation, which may be the weapon of choice of local SWAT teams.

EDITORIAL ROUNDUP The Daily News, Bowling Green, Ky., on the U.S. consulate attack in Libya: Just how damn stupid does the Obama Administration believe the American people are?

The answer is pretty damn stupid based on the highly implausible and absurd fairy tale spouted for days by administration officials that the attack on our consulate in Benghazi, Libya, was the spontaneous reaction to an obscure video.

White House spokesman Jay Carney and United Nations Ambassadors Susan Rice were among the high administration officials who were parroting this party line regarding a violent attack that took the life of U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three more Americans.

Americans, however, are a lot sharper than this administration gives them credit for. Many citizens were not buying the Obama narrative from day one. It seemed more than passing strange that this attack occurred on the anniversary of 9/11 and that the spontaneous mob was conveniently armed with automatic weapons and grenade launchers and from all accounts were well organized.

These facts strongly suggested a coordinated terrorist attack to the man on the street who was also hearing media reports that the president of Libya was very adamant that this was not a spontaneous event related to the video.

Now we learn that our State Department has broken with the administration and says it never believed the Benghazi attack was a film protest.

Good for the State Department. We commend them for not falling on its sword to provide cover for the utter stupidity demonstrated by its administration.

Americans over a certain age remember the seizure of the U.S. embassy in Iran during the presidency of Jimmy Carter.

That brings to mind a bumper sticker we saw that suggests that Obama’s presidency represents Carter’s second term.

It certainly appears in the aftermath of Benghazi that the sticker is on target.

The New York Times on Mitt Romney’s tax proposals: To the annoyance of the Romney campaign, members of Washington’s reality-based community have a habit of popping up to point out the many deceptions in the campaign’s blue-sky promises of low taxes and instant growth. The latest is the Joint Committee on Taxation, an obscure but well-respected Congressional panel — currently evenly divided between the parties — that helps lawmakers calculate the effect of their tax plans.

Last month, the committee asked its staff what would happen if Congress repealed the biggest tax deductions and loopholes and used the new revenue to lower tax rates. The staff started adding it up: end all itemized deductions, tax capital gains and dividends as ordinary income, and tax the interest on state and local bonds, along with several other revenue-raisers.

The answer: ending all those deductions would only produce enough revenue to lower tax rates by 4 percent.

Mitt Romney says he can lower tax rates by 20 percent and pay for it by ending deductions. The joint committee’s math makes it clear that that is impossible.

The analysis doesn’t include every possible tax expenditure, leaving out, for example, the tax break employers get for providing health insurance.

But because Romney refuses to raise capital gains taxes and wants to end the estate tax, it is hard to see how he could do much better than 4 percent.

This is why Romney has refused to say which deductions he would eliminate, just as Rep. Paul Ryan refused when asked a direct question in the debate. Specify a deduction, and some pest with a calculator will point out that it doesn’t add up.

The Romney campaign claims it has six studies proving it can be done, but, on examination, none of the studies actually make that point, or counterbalance the nonpartisan analyses that use real math.

THEY SAID IT “We thank you for coming out on this rather chilly day, but a beautiful day — a historic day.”

Horror fans’ hopes are in the hands of a remake It’s not easy to say this.

But the future of the entire horror movie genre — at least in traditional American theaters — rests solely on the shoulders … of a remake.

This Halloween has been the most pathetically barren season when it comes to R-rated horror movies in theaters. Sinister came out last weekend and, despite taking in five times more than its minuscule budget, felt like a dud qualitywise. The upcoming Silent Hill: Revelation is based on a video game series, and even though the original Silent Hill movie was decent, horror movies based on video games are a waste of time as a whole (see the entire Resident Evil movie series for a good example).

And then there’s the new yearly Halloween franchise, Paranormal Activity — a series where none of the movies have even earned or deserved the R-rating they’ve gotten. Much like the Saw movies — which saw a new release every Halloween up until last year — the franchise was dull by the second movie and was worn out by the third. This year’s release of Paranormal Activity 4 is keeping with the trend, too, in that it’s a total waste of time and money.

Josh Brown Sunday Columnist But that’s the way horror movies have been in the U.S. for the last, oh, probably decade. Aside from a few hidden gems like Cabin in the Woods, every good R-rated horror movie that’s seen a major release has either been a remake of a classic — all of which have been horrific for all the wrong reasons save for Rob Zombie’s take on the Halloween movies — or an Americanized version of a quality foreign film, like High Tension, Quarantine ([REC]) or Let Me In (Let the Right One In) — all of which have been shoddy substitutes for the originals.

Only a British film called The Descent was given a major U.S. release without being remade by American crews for American audiences — and it’s arguably the best horror movie that’s been seen in U.S. theaters since the 1980s.

No, right now the only way to see high-quality horror movies is on the rare occasions that foreign movies or indie surprises like the recent V/H/S get video-on-demand releases. But it’s just not the same as seeing a great movie for the first time on the big screen with a big, rowdy crowd.

Real horror’s last hope, it appears, is the upcoming remake of another classic, The Evil Dead.

The announcement of the remake was met with what you’d expect from such a dedicated fan base — pure outrage.

Even with original director Sam Raimi, original producer Rob Tapert and original star Bruce Campbell — whose entire career as a B-movie god exists because of the original Evil Dead movies — signed on as producers and acting as caretakers of the franchise, fans have watched too many classics utterly ruined by money-hungry companies that don’t care about the source material and just want to make a quick buck (*cough* Michael Bay *cough*). And they — myself included — don’t want to see another beloved film series spoiled in the quest for cash.

So Campbell took a trailer with him to New York Comic-Con recently, along with a message for the

fans: Just be quiet for a minute and watch.

That trailer leaked its way to the Internet that night because, well, that’s just what happens now. So I clicked the link, put my fanboy blinders on and was fully prepared to hate on …

The sheer awesomeness shattered my blinders.

There’s nothing campy or funny about the new Evil Dead, unlike the two most recent films in the old trilogy. There’s none of the old characters, so no one has the pressure of recreating Campbell’s iconic Ash role. And it’s just. So. Intense. I found myself grinding my teeth as the trailer showed one horrifying thing after another.

“They (fans) can look past their anger at being afraid we’re going to insult them by giving them a bad movie,” Campbell said in an interview at NYCC. “As soon as they see the movie, they’re all going to get behind it.”

And when Bruce Campbell speaks, all horror fans should listen.

I haven’t been this excited to see a movie in years.

Hail to the King, baby.

Public health official wages war on blight Canton worker uses personal funds to buy equipment CANTON (AP) — Mark Adams recalls the time he introduced his wife to the rickety farm tractor he had purchased with their money to clean up eyesore city properties.

Adams, a health department official, was waiting to break the news at the right moment. So he tried to smuggle the tractor to a pole barn in the backyard of their home.

However, as he rumbled past the house, his wife, Michele, peeked out the window. “‘What is making so much noise?’ And then I look and see Mark driving a used tractor in the backyard,” she said.

She asked her husband the obvious question: Why didn’t the health department or city government buy the tractor?

Adams, the Canton Health Department’s director of environmental health, explained the tractor was part of his goodwill mission to speed up efforts to clean up properties cluttered with trash that create nuisances and drag down neighborhoods.

He was well aware that both the health department and city government had budget constraints. And he wanted to prove to other officials how much the cleanup efforts would benefit from more equipment.

“I’m a fake, if I’m in public health and I don’t care about what the neighborhoods look like,” Adams said.

But the tractor was not the end of the story.

Adams has shelled out a total of roughly $13,000 of his own dough to buy the tractor, plus a 1994 Ford dump truck, backhoe and other pieces of equipment so the health department can clean up more properties.

Adams doesn’t buy new equipment. The dump truck, affectionately nicknamed “Big Red,” has logged 252,000 miles. A more recent purchase is a 1986 ambulance he found on Craigslist to haul equipment and members of the cleanup crew.

The tractor cost $2,300; the dump truck $2,200; and the backhoe $1,800.

As many as 15 properties have been cleaned up in one day, Adams said. “We can actually get it to where we have zero backlog,” he said.

The health department gets assistance from Canton Municipal Court and the Community Service Road Crew, which is comprised of misdemeanant offenders overseen by community sanctions supervisors.

Michael Kochera, administra-

tor of municipal court, agreed that the cleanup effort has been effective and enhanced by additional equipment. Properties with health or building code violations are targeted. The Adams-led group cleans up properties at least once a week.

In 2011, municipal court assisted the health department with 127 nuisance cleanups, Kochera said. Filled with debris were 1,230 55-gallon trash bags.

And 1,757 abandoned tires were removed and recycled. A total of 110,720 pounds of debris hauled away.

“Mark Adams is truly a testament of what a public servant should be,” Kochera said. “He spent … money out of his pocket … just to get the job done.”

If the city ever buys the equipment, Adams said, he would sell it for no more than he paid.

Another possibility is for the city to replace the equipment and take over the cleanup program headed by the health department.

Adams said his personal insurance covers his use of the equipment, but he doesn’t allow other city workers to operate it.

Borrowing equipment from other departments can be inconvenient and cause delays, Adams said. The street and sanitation

departments often need the equipment, he said.

Adams also has purchased chipping equipment, a trailer to haul equipment, a snowplow blade, log splitter, brush hog and tiller.

Mayor William J. Healy II praised the city employee’s initiative.

“He basically said, ‘I’m going to find a way to do it,’ ” Healy said. “… Not why we can’t do it.”

Adams said he was able to buy the equipment because he’s saved money over the years, including squirreling away income from his 24 years of military service before retiring from the Coast Guard.

However, he also sacrificed portions of the family budget. Adams said he delayed the full payment for his son’s braces before he paid off the entire bill.

He also canceled the family’s trip to Florida to visit his parents.

Instead he paid the cost for his parents to fly to Stark County.

The use of the personally-purchased equipment coincides with the expansion of programs at the city’s recycling center. The program means that less of the trash the health department collects at problem properties is shipped to a landfill, Adams said.

From the end of last October

through this past September, the health department-led effort collected 106 tons of garbage, compared to 29 tons for a previous 12month period, Adams said.

From the end of last October through September, 42.5 tons of electronic waste were collected.

From this past March to the present, 2.5 tons of paper has been collected, Adams said.

Adams gladly digs through the muck at cleanup sites. At a recent job, he climbed atop a pile of tree limbs and rubbish in the back of the dump truck, including a bag reeking of a decomposing cat, egg shells, furniture and rancid meat.

The 17-year health department employee appears more at ease on the junk heap than he is on the days he wears a necktie and neatly-pressed shirt.

Some properties are in near shambles. Adams ducked his head into a garage to discover a cavelike spot where it was obvious someone had been sleeping. Rolled carpet and blankets were arranged into a makeshift bed.

“I love it,” he said. “… Some of the happiest people doing their work … are people who run large equipment every day. They come to work (and) there’s a beginning, a middle and an end. There’s a pile that they have to move and they use heavy equipment or big boys toys .. and at the end of the day there’s an accomplishment.”

law. “We gamble; we take risks. The Chinese are all about risk.”

But Kent Woo, who heads NICOS a group that advocates for the health of Chinese-Americans in San Francisco believes the major attraction is based more on luck and a cultural acceptance that begins with recreational gambling in the home.

NICOS, an acronym for the names of founding agencies, started a problem-gambling program in 1997 after a survey of more than 1,800 adults in San Francisco ranked gambling addiction as the Chinese community’s most serious social problem.

Johnny Wu, president of the Organization of Chinese Americans of Greater Cleveland, has been a consultant for the Presque Isle casino in Pennsylvania and Mountaineer casino in West Virginia. He and Wong said that they had not heard any alarm about gambling in Cleveland’s Chinese community.

while campaigning in eastern Ohio BELMONT (AP) — Republican vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan criticized President Barack Obama’s administration at a campaign stop Saturday in the coal-rich eastern region of battleground saying the Ohio, Democrat’s energy policies are putting the coal industry out of business.

Ryan spoke for less than 15 minutes to roughly 1,100 supporters gathered at a rainy rally at a campground in Belmont. He encouraged them to vote early for the GOP ticket, telling them they are in “the battleground of battleground states.”

“The one thing you can do is elect a man named Mitt Romney who will end this war on coal and allow us to keep these good paying jobs,” Ryan said to applause.

The area is close to West Virginia and in a region of Ohio where the Romney campaign thinks it can swing voters its way because of concerns about the economy and the future of the coal industry under Obama. Ryan told supporters they could be a “linchpin” in the election.

Ryan, a congressman from Wisconsin, accused Obama of not telling the country about his policy agenda should the Democrat be elected to another term in office.

you what he plans on doing,” Ryan said.

He said Obama had told people in the last presidential campaign that when politicians don’t have fresh ideas, they resort to stale tactics to scare voters and make the election about “small things.”

“Well ladies and gentleman, that’s what President Obama said in 2008, and that is exactly what President Obama is doing today,” Ryan said. “And we’re not going to let him get away with it, are we?”

The Obama campaign on Saturday accused Ryan and Romney of not being truthful about their stance on coal.

Obama, employment in Ohio’s coal mining industry is up 11 percent while he’s making historic investments in clean coal research and development,” said Jessica Kershaw, an Obama campaign spokeswoman in Ohio.

In Ohio, coal is responsible for some 3,000 underground and surface jobs, and it generates more than 87 percent of the state’s electricity. Ohio is seventh in the nation in coal reserves with 23.7 billion short tons, and Belmont County is the leading coal producer in the state, churning out 760 million tons since 1816, according to the Ohio Coal Association.

On a recent Monday, eight of the seats at one of the baccarat tables were filled by Asian women, five of whom have reached the top level in a customer loyalty program run by Caesars Entertainment, the company that manages the Cleveland casino.

Gambling has been growing in popularity in Asia, with PriceWaterhouseCoopers analysts predicting that gambling revenue in Asia will rise 18.3 percent a year and hit $79.3 billion annually by 2015, according to the Plain Dealer.

The latest census estimates show that northeast Ohio’s Asian communities are small, including only about 16,000 people of Chinese descent, but leaders of Cleveland’s Chinese community acknowledge gambling has a significant place in their culture.

“Gambling is in our blood,” said attorney Margaret Wong, a ChineseAmerican widely known for her work in immigration

CLEVELAND (AP) — A new northeast Ohio casino is reaching out to gamblers of Asian descent with events tailored to Asian tastes and hosts that handle tasks for those bettors, including arranging for complimentary meals or hotel stays.

The Horseshoe Casino Cleveland is among U.S. casinos catering to the ethnic group. Those players are important to the Ohio casino, where two baccarat tables are regularly packed with players of Asian descent primarily Chinese who might spend hours there, The Plain Dealer reported.

Enough already: Voters hit with ads, calls Battleground states growing weary of campaign RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — People who live in battleground states tend to have a number and a coping strategy.

Virginian Catherine Caughey’s number is four: Her family recently got four political phone calls in the space of five minutes.

Ohioan Charles Montague’s coping mechanism is his TV remote. He pushes the mute button whenever a campaign ad comes on.

All the attention that the presidential campaigns are funneling into a small number of hard-fought states comes at a personal price for many voters.

The phone rings during a favorite TV show. Traffic snarls when a candidate comes to town.

A campaign volunteer turns up on the doorstep during dinner.

Bills get buried in a stack of campaign fliers. TV ads spew out mostly negative vibes.

The effects are cumulative.

“It’s just too much,” says Carmen Medina, of Chester, Va. “It’s becoming a little too overwhelming.”

Medina, it should be noted, is an enthusiastic supporter of Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney. She squealed with joy outside the United Latino Market in Richmond when she learned that Romney had just appeared at a rally across the street.

But she’s starting to block phone numbers to Make. The. Calls. Stop.

Even Ann Romney, the candidate’s wife, has had enough. “I don’t want to get myself upset so I am not watching television for the moment,” she told the women on ABC’s “The View” on Thursday.

“Trust me, the audience members that are in swing states are sick of them,” she said of political ads.

Ditto the president.

“If you’re sick of hearing me approve this message, believe me, so am I,” Barack Obama said during the Democratic National Convention.

The parties speak with pride of their massive ground operations the door knockers, the

Jean Gianfagna displays some of the political mailers her family receives at her home in Westlake, Ohio, Oct. 19. Gianfagna says her family is ‘deluged’ and sometimes gets four of the same piece at a time — her husband and two grown kids all get their own. phone banks, the campaign signs and more. They trumpet the higher level of activity this year than in 2008.

With the campaign now focused on just nine states Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Ohio, Virginia and Wisconsin the parties are able to target their resources narrowly.

Republicans say they’ve made three times more phone calls and 23 times more door knocks in Ohio than they had by this time in 2008, for example, and nearly six times more phones calls and 11 times more door knocks in

Virginia. Democrats don’t give out that level of detail, but describe ambitious outreach activities from their 60-plus field offices in Virginia and 125 in Ohio.

The campaigns and independent groups supporting them are expected to pour about $1.1 billion into TV ads this year, the vast majority of it in the most competitive states.

The political mailers sometimes come four at a time for Jean Gianfagna of Westlake, Ohio, who says her husband and two grown kids all get their own copies of the same mailer.

But does all of this activity reach a point of diminishing returns? Is there a risk of overkill?

Not to David Betras, chairman of the Democratic Party in Ohio’s Mahoning County. He considers himself a field general in the battle to re-elect Obama, and enthusiastically details the party’s efforts on his turf.

“Is there a saturation point? I haven’t heard that,” he says. “I think just the opposite. I think people, at least in my neck of the woods, are kind of excited that they’re playing such an important role.”

But he does say, “Some people you call and of course they’re burned out with it, and you thank them very much and you move on.”

Clearly, more exposure doesn’t always translate into more support.

“The more I see Romney, the less I like,” says Kay Martin, who lives in the Denver suburb of Arvada.

And if not generating a backlash, some of that political activity is surely just wasted energy.

Gwynnen Chervenic, in Alexandria, has taught her kids to yell “lies” any time a political ad comes on.

“I’m trying to make sure they develop a healthy skepticism about the election PR process,” she explains. “Makes me laugh every time and should help ease the pain until Election Day.” A Fairfax County woman who’s a strong Romney supporter emails: “I don’t mind telling the Romney campaign or the RNC National (Republican Committee) that I am voting for Romney, but why do I have to tell them that MULTIPLE times?”

She’s ready to start giving out a phony phone number. But she doesn’t want to be identified by name because her husband’s working for the Romney campaign. And, yes, she even went with him recently to knock on doors.

“But I was so uncomfortable knocking on people’s doors in the evening because I felt like I was doing the very thing that bothers me,” she admits.

Political psychologist Stanley Renshon, a professor at City

University of New York, said most Americans don’t spend a lot of time thinking about politics, and don’t particularly like being the focus of too much political attention.

But the campaigns just won’t or can’t stop reaching out.

“They can’t not try to win your vote, even at the risk of alienating your vote,” says Renshon.

“You don’t want to regret not doing everything you can do.”

John Geer, a political science professor at Vanderbilt University, says it’s the political equivalent of an arms race, and neither side dares stop the carpet bombing.

“We don’t know exactly where saturation occurs, but I think we’re way past that,” he says.

For those from less competitive states, the number and tone of ads can be jarring.

“I think people are just upset about the lies,” says Pamela Ash, a 66-year-old Obama volunteer from Arizona who’s been visiting her brother in Ohio to help the campaign. “Enough already. I just can’t stand it.”

Even the people making the calls understand the annoyance.

Maria Buzzi estimates that 10 percent to 15 percent of the calls she makes during her volunteer shift at Romney’s Stow, Ohio, offices end with frustrations.

“I’ve been called a G-D, F-ing B,” the 67-year-old retired nurse and grandmother said. “I’m a sensitive person and they are just vicious. It hurts my feelings and I take it personally. But I really want to help Mitt Romney.”

After those tough calls, she hangs up and takes a moment to compose herself. Then she picks up the phone and dials another voter.

Maybe one of her calls will end up in tiny Payson, Utah, about as far from the political front as you can get this year.

That’s where Katie Peterson lives. She moved there from Ohio four years ago.

Says Peterson: “Somehow all those people making the phone calls think I still live there and that they need to call all the time.”

Meningitis victims face long, uncertain recovery after being hospitalized.

Fungal meningitis which is not contagious is a tenacious disease that can be treated only with powerful drugs.

“I’m determined I’m going to fight this thing,” she said. “The devil is not going to win.”

Dr. William Schaffner, an infectious disease specialist who chairs Vanderbilt University’s Department of Preventive Medicine, said the treatment includes intravenous anti-fungal medicines that are tricky to use.

“These are powerful drugs. They’re toxic,” he said. “You’re walking a tightrope because you want to get enough into a patient to have the therapeutic effect while at the same time you’re trying not to affect, or to minimize the effect on the liver and kidneys.”

Even after leaving the hospital, he said, patients will continue antifungal drugs for weeks or months.

The infectious disease doctor handling York’s case did not immediately respond to a phone message.

When York talks about the last six weeks, tears run down her cheeks. She knows the disease is deadly.

And if she needed a reminder, it’s right there in the headline from a local newspaper on her hospital bed: “Third death reported in Marion County from fungal meningitis.”

For York, 2012 started well. The retired clothing shop clerk and widow from Illinois was doing water aerobics three times a week, tending to her flower garden and spending time with church friends. They’d get together at Olive Garden

The pain was strong enough for her to visit a doctor at Marion Pain Clinic, where she received two steroid shots on Aug. 16. A week later, the pain was still there and she

began feeling headachy, nauseous and dizzy. She chalked it up to her back and got a third shot Aug. 28.

In the weeks that followed, her health deteriorated. She couldn’t lie down without extreme back pain.

A friend gave her a recliner to sleep in. The headaches grew severe, sharp pains shooting from all directions into her skull.

“I couldn’t walk well, I couldn’t see good and I could wipe the sweat off my arms,” she said.

On Sept. 27, her legs and arms grew numb. The numbness flowed upwards to her waist. That’s when she called 911.

She’s one of 284 people nationwide who are victims of an outbreak that began when a Massachusetts compounding pharmacy shipped contaminated medication.

Twenty-three people have died.

Like many trying to recover, York, who has been hospitalized since Sept. 27, faces a long and uncertain road. Many people have died days or even weeks

Troy wins sectional, on to district

BY JOSH BROWN Sports Editor jbrown@tdnpublishing.com With Butler leading 20-19 in Game 2 and Greater Western Ohio Conference North Division Player of the Year Jenna Selby, the Troy Trojans did what they’ve done all season long.

Found a different solution to the problem.

Emily Moser, Lauren Freed and Jen Monnier put down back-to-backto-back kills to give Troy the advantage, then a block by Selby and an ace by Mackenzie Rice wrapped up the game, a series that summed up the entire match as the Trojans (204) found contributors all over the court to put away the Aviators in the Division I Sectional title match Saturday at the Trojan Activities

TROY Center.

“Our outsides — Emily, Lauren and Jen — played really, really well today, which was good because our stud middle wasn’t necessarily at her best,” Troy coach Michelle Owen said. “They hit to where Butler was not, and they tooled Butler’s block quite a few times. Emily probably tooled their stud middle Tatum Mitchell’s block three or four times on her own.”

But having players step up when other players are having off nights has been a familiar story for the Trojans, who won their 11th straight and advanced to the district final for STAFF PHOTO/ANTHONY WEBER the first time since 2010.

The screams of “push up!” echoed througout Troy Memorial Stadium on Saturday afternoon as Stebbins’ goalkeeper Alex Farmer pleaded with her team to advance the ball forward.

Her cries went unanswered as Troy was able to coast to a 5-0 victory over the Indians in a Division I Sectional semifinal matchup.

“We knew this was a game that we were probably going to have a lot of success in,” Troy

TROY coach Michael Rasey said. “The first tournament game, you want to come out and get that first win under your belt.”

It took less than two minutes for Troy to set the tone for the game. Madison Burchfield sent a cross to Leah Soutar who was able to put it past Farmer into the net and give them an early 10 lead.

Troy and Piqua meet in final week of season

BY DAVID FONG Executive Editor fong@tdnpublishing.com The timing of the game begs the question — what took so long?

For the first time since 1989, the Troy-Piqua game will take place in the final week of the regular season.

“It makes it that much more important,” Brewer said. “Usually you are worried about the next game and whether your team will be too up or too down. This year, both teams can go and leave it all out there on the field. With neither team going to the playoffs, you don’t have to worry about the next week. Both teams will have to live with the result the entire offseason.”

This Friday, Troy and Piqua will meet for the 128th time. Troy comes into the game holding a 62-59-6 edge in the series and currently is in the midst of a five-game winnning streak that dates back to a thrilling 36-35 win in 2007. The week leading up to the game will be filled with pep rallies, blood drives and plenty of excitement.

There will be time for all of that.

First, however, some final notes from Troy’s 28-6 win over Greenville.

• PLAYER OF THE GAME Troy quarterback Matt Barr completed 8-of-12 passes for 119 yards — including a pair of touchdown strikes to Nick Zimmer. More than any of that, however, on a sloppy, muddy field, Barr managed the game effectively, not throwing any interceptions or bobbling any snaps from center — a constant problem for Greenville quarterback Clay Guillozet.

• UNSUNG HERO OF THE GAME On a night in which Troy’s two touchdowns through the air took center stage, Trojan tailback Miles Hibbler produced an impressive night of his own, carrying the ball 20 times for 120 yards and a touch-

• PLAY OF THE GAME With the Trojans up 7-0 early in the second quarter, Barr completed a 29-yard pass to Kurtis Johnson, who nearly scored on the play, but got pushed out of bounds

at the Greenville 1-yard line.

On the next play, Brandon Lee scored to put the Trojans up 14-0. Troy never looked back from there.

• WHAT WE LEARNED Despite a frustrating season — the Trojans are about five plays away from being 8-1 heading into the final week of the season — Troy has showed its resilience time and again. Troy showed no ill effects of last

week’s 42-14 against the Green Wave. Troy’s offense — a problem all season long — moved the ball almost at will against the Green Wave.

Considering all Troy has been through this season, finishing 5-5 and beating rival Piqua would have to be seen as a major accomplishment.

• WHAT HAPPENS NEXT Troy plays Piqua. No more need be said.

Troy’s Cassie Rice hits a kill from the back row Saturday against Butler.

■ CONTINUED FROM A8 team. We’re so well-rounded and balanced,” Owen said.

“Anybody can score. Even (setter) Mackenzie (Rice) does some things in the front row.

There’s not one person that carries the load all the time, and that takes pressure off of everybody. That’s why this is such a tight-knit group, too.”

Moser finished with a team-high nine kills, 11 digs and two aces, Freed added seven kills, nine digs and four aces and Monnier had seven kills and three digs.

Even though she struggled hitting-wise, Selby found ways to help, too. She had five blocks, seven digs and three aces to go with three kills, and fellow middle hitter Jillian Ross had three kills and four digs.

Mackenzie Rice had 29 assists, a kill and six digs, libero Cassie Rice had 16 digs, two kills and an ace, Leah Selby had an ace and four digs and Abby Brinkman had an ace and three digs.

It was the third time this season Troy knocked off Butler — all at the Trojan Activities Center. The Trojans swept the Aviators during the regular season en route to a GWOC North title and won in four on their way to winning their first-ever GWOC Tournament.

Troy’s Jenna Selby goes up for a kill Saturday afternoon against Butler.

“It’s tough (to beat a team three times in one season) because Butler is so wellcoached and motivated. They wanted to come at us in the tournament, and they wanted beat us,” Owen said. “But our kids wanted it, too, and that really showed in Game 2. At the end of the day, our kids showed they wanted it a little more.”

Troy faces Lakota West or Sycamore — who play each other on Monday — Saturday at Lebanon.

“Three years ago, it was the other way around. Butler beat us three times. We jumped on them in the sectional, they beat us — and went on to win the district,” Owen said. “It’d be really sweet if the girls can flip that script this year. We did all of those other things. Now we just need to win at district.

“I told the girls in the locker room that we’ve finished our checklist. Now it’s time to put a new item on it.”

OSU loses Miller, wins in OT COLUMBUS (AP) — The darkest moment for Ohio State and its fans ended up being the brightest highlight of Kenny Guiton’s career.

yard touchdown run that ended up as the difference in a heart-stopping 29-22 win over the Boilermakers on Saturday.

“I’m still trying to figure that bad boy out,” a stunned coach Urban Meyer said after his Buckeyes (8-0, 4-0 Big Ten) remained perfect on the season with the improbable victory. “We won, right?”

Many in a crowd of 105,290 thought the Buckeyes had little or no chance of winning after Miller lay on the turf for several minutes after being

thrown down on the nextto-last play of the third quarter. The mood had sunk even lower when Guiton, who had just thrown an interception on his last play, came out with just 47 seconds left, Ohio State trailing 22-14, and 61 yards remaining to get to the end zone.

“The people around me calmed me down and got me ready to go out there and have fun,” the senior said.

He did more than have fun.

After Guiton threw the interception to Landon Feichtner with 2:40 left that could have ended Ohio State’s hopes, Meyer grabbed Guiton.

Troy’s Gracie Huffman settles the ball Saturday against Stebbins.

■ CONTINUED FROM A8 cutting Burchfield on a pass in front of the goal.

Burchfield one-touched the ball and gave Troy a 2-0 advantage.

The Trojans maintained possession for a majority of the game and had a lot of opportunities, but they had trouble capitalizing on those opportunities.

“We knew coming in with the good squad that we have that we could score a lot of goals and should be successful in this game,” Rasey said.

“You have got to give Stebbins a lot of credit. They frustrated us a little bit.”

Stebbins was at a disadvantage coming into the game, having only three players available off the bench. With 15 minutes remaining in the first half, starter Marisa Coker went to the ground and had to be helped off the field.

With a 2-0 score going into the second half, Troy took advantage of the wind by scoring two goals in the first 10 minutes. Gracie Huffman received a through-ball, stayed onside and powered a shot past Farmer for Troy’s third goal of the contest. Less than a minute later, Soutar had a flip-throw go soaring into the box. Sierra Besecker found the ball at her feet and she scored to give Troy a 4-0 lead.

The passing exhibition then went into effect.

Troy moved the ball with ease through the Stebbins defense. Each touch by a Troy player was made with a purpose. When Stebbins was able to interrupt Troy’s fancy footwork, they would kick the ball in hopes that it went to one of their teammates.

“We really settled down in the second half and started playing to feet,” Rasey said. “We have gotten to a possession style of play in

Stebbins had nine girls back on defense for a majority of the second half — rarely advancing the ball past midfield. With that type of congestion, Troy’s passing was that much more impressive.

Burchfield was able to score her second goal of the game when she received a long pass inside the penalty box, turned and put it past the keeper.

With the win, Troy (15-20) advances to the sectional championship match Tuesday. They will face the Springboro Panthers — whose victory in the other semifinal caused Tuesday’s match, originally scheduled to be played at Springboro, to be moved to Northmont High School.

Troy is hoping that their possession offense will continue to propel them in the playoffs.

MIAMI COUNTY

TROY — Troy Christian hasn’t been behind many times this season.

So when the thirdseeded Eagles found themselves trailing West Liberty-Salem 1-0 with 20 minutes to play, they had a decision to make.

As it turns out, they weren’t ready for the season to end.

West Liberty-Salem broke a scoreless tie less than five minutes into the second half, but Troy Christian scored three goals in the game’s final 20 minutes Saturday night, rallying for a 3-1 victory over the Tigers in a Division III Sectional semifinal matchup.

“Relieved,” Troy Christian coach Brian Peters said when asked how he felt after the game. “Kudos to West Liberty. They played a phenomenal game, and we weren’t ready for it, to be honest.”

But the Tigers weren’t ready for the way the Eagles fought back.

The Eagles scored on a corner kick to tie the game with 19:47 left on the clock, then Jordanne Varvel and Morgan Haddad worked the ball all the way down the field giving and going — and Varvel went far post with her left foot to put Troy Christian on top.

The Eagles worked one more combo play to put the game away. Lauren Peters threw the ball in to Meredith Haddad, who sent a cross to Morgan Haddad on the opposite side of the field. Morgan Haddad fired off a nearpost shot, and the Eagles had the all-important insurance goal with less than five minutes to play.

“We’re still missing some starters, but I’m proud of the way the girls came back,” Peters said.

“I’m proud of the way we played in the final 20 minutes.”

Now the Eagles will face a familiar opponent — Franklin Monroe — in the sectional title game Tuesday at Bethel.

And Peters wants to make sure his team is ready this time.

“I hate playing a team

we’ve already beaten,” Peters said. “There’s this huge sense of security, and we have to get past that. The tournament is a whole new season, and we have to be ready for that.”

Miami East 13, Mechanicsburg 0 CASSTOWN — No. 2 Miami East had no trouble advancing to the Division III Sectional title match, scoring less than four minutes into the game and not letting up in a 13-0 rout of Mechanicsburg in the semifinal round Saturday.

Eleven different Vikings were involved in the scoring. Kendra Beckman and Katrina Sutherly each had two goals and two assists to lead the way, Morgan Jess scored twice and Lindsey Roeth had a goal and an assist.

The Vikings are now 17-1 on the season and recorded 14 have shutouts. They will face Lehman Tuesday at Fairborn.

Lehman 3, Botkins 0 SIDNEY — Sarah Titterington played a role in all three goals Saturday in a Division III Sectional semifinal matchup against Botkins as top-seeded Lehman cruised to a 3-0 victory.

Titterington scored twice and assisted on Maddie Franklin’s goal, and Taylor Lachey added an assist for the Cavaliers (15-2).

Dayton Christian 5, Bethel 2 DAYTON — Sixthseeded Bethel saw its season come to an end in the Division III Sectional semifinal round Saturday night as the Bees fell to the Dayton Christian Warriors 5-2.

• Division II Sectional Tippecanoe 2, Monroe 1 OT MONROE — The sixth-seeded Tippecanoe Red Devils scored a minor upset Saturday night, knocking off No. 5 Monroe 2-1 in overtime in the Division II Sectional semifinal round.

The Devils will now face No. 4 Oakwood Tuesday at Valley View.

Vikings win 2nd straight sectional, Cavs 20th Staff Reports

MIAMI COUNTY

BROOKVILLE — Sectional titles are already somewhat old hat for the Miami East Vikings.

Even though they won their first one last season.

The Vikings breezed through the Division III Sectional title game at Brookville Saturday, defeating the host Blue Devils 25-11, 25-11, 25-9 with calculated precision.

“It was a little awkward.

It was only the second one in school history, and we were very business-like about it,” Miami East coach John Cash said. “We kept the game simple and didn’t

show too many cards, and we executed well. We knew Brookville would get balls up but not return them well, and we wanted to take advantage of short returns — and we did.”

Sam Cash led the offense with 10 kills, an ace, a block, a dig and nine assists, Angie Mack had seven kills, two aces and two digs, Leah Dunivan had six kills, two aces, two blocks and six digs, Trina Current had six kills and Abby Cash had a kill, two aces, a block, three digs and 18 assists. Allison Morrett had six digs and

an ace, Allie Millhouse had seven digs and Ashley Current had an assist.

Now the Vikings will face Taylor in a rematch of last year’s district final at Tippecanoe High School — the same step they took on their way to their first-ever state championship.

“We didn’t go crazy or anything like that when we won today. We met on the court, sang the fight song, did everything we normally do after winning a match,” Cash said. “It’s what the girls expect of each other. They’re doing the job for each other.

“With a year of experience at this, things are

going a lot faster this time.

It’s important to smell the roses a little along the way, because those moments are going by a little quicker.”

• Division IV Sectional Lehman 3, Triad 0 PIQUA — Lehman took control early and never let up Saturday at Garbry Gymnasium, cruising to its 20th straight Division IV Sectional title with a 25-4, 25-11, 25-10 win over Triad.

The Cavaliers, 20-5 and ranked fourth in the state, will play Russia looking for a 20th straight district title at 3:30 p.m. Saturday at Troy High School.

“The girls came out fired up which was good to see,” Lehman coach Greg Snipes said. “Of course, you are always thinking about those big matches coming up. But, the girls came out focused today.”

Southeastern 3, Covington 0 PIQUA — First-year Covington volleyball coach Ashley Miller saw the glass as half full — and then some.

While Saturday’s 25-13, 25-11, 25-9 loss to Southeastern in the Piqua Division IV sectional finals was a disappointing end to the season — it didn’t change what Miller felt

was a building block to the future.

“Tonight was disappointing,” Miller said. “But it has been a great year. We won 11 matches (going 1112), we finished third in our conference and we got to the sectional finals. You can’t complain about being in the sectional finals.”

“We lost five starters off last year’s team,” Miller said. “We were starting several freshman. We had a great group of seniors, that did a great job all season. I can hardly wait for next season.”

Because the positives far outweighed the negatives.

District ■ CONTINUED FROM A8

Andrews (16:45.85) and Grant Koch (16:49.83) placed fifth and seventh, while Mitch Poynter finished 16th (17:10.45) and Jay Schairbaum got 17th (17:16.99). Also for the Devils, Oscar Freyre finished 19th (17:20.26) and Michael Taylor placed 24th (17:36.92).

It was a strong surge

by Centerville’s fifth runner Zach Hughes, who placed 15th, in the latter stages of the race that sealed the deal for the Elks, who had five runners in the top 15.

“We had control of the race through a mile and a half,” Tippecanoe coach Byron Kimmel said.

“Centerville’s fifth guy ran a really nice last 1,000 meters and overtook our pack. That was the race right there.”

Despite that, the Red Devils are in prime position to make a run at a state berth next Saturday. And Wharton — who has drawn interest from colleges such as Wisconsin, Stanford and Ohio State — likes what his team has been able to accomplish thus far.

“We have matured as a team,” the Tipp senior said. “We knew we were going to have a lot better chance this season. I’m just thankful we have all stayed healthy. Our coaches really did a great job of getting us into shape, and preparing us for the postseason.”

If Saturday’s race was any indication, the Tipp girls will be vying with a handful of teams to make state next week in Troy.

And Kimmel knows it, having ran against most teams they will face all season.

“There are six teams out of Division II that have a shot at going to state or even winning state,” Kimmel said.

“Alter, Eaton, Oakwood, Tipp, Bellbrook, and Thornville Sheridan comes up too. All six are very even, so it’s going to probably be single digits to see who will go to state.”

Just 15 points separated the top four schools in the Division II race.

Oakwood won the team title with 52 points. Tipp (55 points) held off Bellbrook (57) and Northwestern (67) for second.

Like she has done all season long, Allison Sinning put on a show, placing second overall (19:15.29) as Oakwood freshman Mary Kate Vaughn won the race in a ridiulous time of 17.57.30. Brinna Price was sixth (20:01.02), Claudia Barhorst (20:56.32) and Emily Wolfe (20:57.25) finished 13th and 14th and Anna Klepinger took 23rd (22:02.72).

Meredith Coughlin (26th, 22:07.39) and Katherine Wilcher (30th, 22:22.64) were the next in for Tipp. The sixth and seventh runners could make all the difference next weekend in a race that is expected to come down to the wire.

“We made it to state on a tie-breaker in 2010,” Kimmel said. “It may be that way again next week.”

• Milton-Union Boys Finish Fifth It had been four years since the Milton-Union boys failed to qualify for regional.

That streak was ended Saturday in an all to familiar way.

“We’re always in the mix,” Milton-Union coach Michael Meredith said. “I think in the last 10 years, we have probably finished fifth (at district) four times.”

Troy Tyree and Connor Lunsford — two runners who helped Milton earn a state berth last season — just missed out on individual qualifications. Tyree placed 17th (17:54.82) and Lunsford was 18th (17:55.15). The top 16 advanced. Also for the Bulldogs, River Spicer finished 31st (18:48.62) and Zack Pricer took 34th (18:52.58).

Milton’s girls team finished 12th. Leading the way was Katie Litton in 52nd (23:39.80) and Grace Warner in 68th (25:10.38).

Alter (42 points) and Eaton (54) were atop the list in the team standings.

• Buccs, Viking Girls Advance The Covington boys and girls teams earned their way to the Division III Regional meet Saturday.

That was also the case for the Miami East girls team.

And Lehman junior Joe Fuller and Newton freshman Brady McBride continued their dream seasons.

Competing in a stacked race A, the Bucc boys finished fourth with 112 points. Lane White placed fifth (17:15.39), Dustin Fickert was 18th (17:52.45), Alex Schilling got 21st (17:59.95), Dale Brant took 34th (18:32.09) and Nate Dunn ended the race in 36th (18:36.99). Isaac Canan (58th, 19:37.17) and Sam Sherman (60th, 19:43.95) rounded out the Bucc finishers.

As for Fuller and McBride, they will both be racing in Troy next Saturday, as well. Fuller

(16:29.22) took second Tri-Village’s behind Clayton Murphy (15:58.74) and McBride came through in seventh (17:23.63).

Fuller and McBride’s teams, however, will not be making the trip to regional with them. The Cavaliers missed out by one spot in fifth (187 points) and Newton took 10th (257).

For Lehman, Nick Elsner got 25th (18:04.04) and Gabe Berning finished 39th (18:38.95). As for the Indians, their second guy in was senior David Brauer in 26th (18:04.93), while Jacob Studebaker placed 47th (19:07.26).

Miami East’s Seth Pemberton — a regional qualifier last season — missed out on his second trip to regional, finishing in 22nd (18:00.82). As a team, the Vikings placed eighth. Other notable finishers for East include Matthew Amheiser (50th, 19:18.81), Ben Marlow in 55th (19:24.08) and Brandon Mack in 59th (19:43.68).

The Shelby County League showed its muscle in the race as Russia (56 points), Anna (75) and Botkins (85) finished 1-23.

In the boys race B, Troy Christian, Bradford and Bethel had their seasons come to an end.

The Eagles — who finished seventh overall (209 points) — got a strong performance by Blake Klingler (24th, 18:27.97), who ended up missing the qualifying cut by eight spots. Craig Helman placed 35th (18:41.91), Mark Dillahunt came in 39th (18:51.38) and Eric Cooper took 49th (19:10.15), but it wasn’t enough as Sam Prakel led the Versailles Tigers to a team title with 46 points.

West Liberty-Salem, Jackson Center and Ft. Loramie will also be joining Versailles at regional.

Notable runners for Bradford include Mikey

Barga (42nd, 18:56.07) and Brett Arnett (59th, 19:33.19). Bethel’s top finisher was Zach Danner in 46th (19:08.69).

In girls race A, Covington claimed the fourth spot with a total of 110 points. Leading the way was freshman Carly Shell, who placed seventh (20:39.47), and Jessie Shilt (19th, 21:33.86).

Following them was Hannah Retz (28th, 22:01.58), Casey Yingst (29th, 22:12.86), Julianna Yingst (35th, 22:36.75), Heidi Cron (36th, 22:40.95) and Heidi Snipes (38th, 22:51.13).

Bradford was the next best area finisher in ninth (274 points).

Bradford top two runners were Chelsea Dross in 44th (23:25.95) and Jennifer Ross in 59th (24:16.12).

The race also ended the fine career of Troy Christian’s Sarah Grady.

The senior missed out on qualifying with a 24thplace finish (21:44.25) en route to helping the Eagles place 11th overall.

Jasmine Beverly (58th, 24:14.42) and Cassandra Mendez (68th, 25:11.30) were the other top finishers for the Troy Christian.

Russia, which had the races top three finishers, ran away with the team title with 25 points.

Versailles was second with 50.

Cross County Conference champion Miami East earned a spot a regional. The Viking girls placed third in race B with 89 points. East held off Yellow Springs (92 points) and Xenia Christian (98) for the third spot.

Meredith Wesco (ninth, 20:29.24), Abigael Amheiser (16th, 21:03.08) and Abby Hawkins (18th, 21:24.58) paced the Vikings, while Sami Sands followed in 31st (22:05.97). Erin Augustus took 36th place (23:00.34) A regional berth wasn’t in the cards for the Bethel Bees, though. The Bees placed seventh in race B. The top runners for the Bees were Marieke Van haaren in 34th (22:43.88) and Jill Callaham in 43rd (24:24.28).

Those who qualified will run at the regional meet Saturday in Troy.

■ CONTINUED FROM A8 16:03.15. Troy had five runners in the top 17, averaging a combined time of 16:48.

Jon Osman was Troy’s second runner, finishing in 10th (16:52.50), freshman Stephen Jones placed 12th (16:55.56), Troy Schultz — running in his second race since the beginning of the season — posted his best time of the year (16:58.74) to finish 14th. Blake Guillozet was the fifth guys in, placing 17th (17:08.96).

Following those runners were Josh Spayde (44th, 17:52.80) and Alex Meier (55th, 18:09.49).

“The guys ran well today,” Troy boys coach Bob Campbell said. “I mean they really did.

Branden PRed, Alex Meier PRed, Josh Spade PRed, Troy had his best time of the year. I mean, I can’t complain. We win the North last week, got second overall. We come back and get second here a real good to Beavercreek team.”

And now the Trojans will aim high next week against one of the most feared regional fields in the state.

“It’s going to be hard to get out in the top four, but we have a chance,” Nosker said. “I think we should shoot for top four to be honest. If we have a good race, you never know what can happen.”

• Troy Girls Third With a third-place finish at district Saturday, the Troy girls have now qualified for regional three consecutive years.

Although the team

wasn’t certain where it would finish heading into the day.

“We knew we were going to be anywhere from second to sixth depending on the way things shook out,” Troy coach Kevin Alexander said. “Obviously you hope for the best, but we really weren’t sure.”

But the Trojans ran well enough to secure third place with 93 points.

Leading the way were freshman Rachel Davidson (third, 19:39.97), senior Caitlyn McMinn (ninth, 20:03.20) and sophomore Natalie Snyder (14th, 20:32.95).

“Our first three girls really carried us today,” Alexander said. “Rachel Davidson, Caitlyn McMinn and Natalie Snyder just ran lights out.

That was an absolutely exceptional performance by them.”

“It feels awesome because we were expecting fourth but we got third,” McMinn said.

Troy’s third through seventh runners finished in a pack. Lindsay Smith placed 33rd (21:55.75), Cristina Dennison finished 34th (21:55.75), Megan Falknor got 35th (21:57.99) and KatieGrace Sawka followed in 37th (22:05.83).

The Trojans will seek to advance to state next Saturday in front of their home fans at the Troy Levee.

“It’s a tough course to run on, but we’ll see how it goes,” Snyder said.

And as the Trojans have experienced in years past, the competition will be even tougher.

■ Auto Racing

Stenhouse Jr. rallies to win KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) — Ricky Stenhouse Jr. rallied from two laps down at Kansas Speedway to salvage his points day.

Then he stole a win, as well.

Stenhouse, the defending Nationwide Series champion, lucked into his sixth win of the season Saturday when leader Kyle Busch ran out gas heading into the final turn. A late caution extended the race by six laps, and it stretched the fuel tanks of several cars at the front of the field.

Not Stenhouse, though.

Because he ran into Joey Logano early into the race, falling two laps down during his stops for repairs, he was on a different pit sequence and had plenty of gas to make it to the end.

So he liked his chances when he lined up fifth on the final restart.

As the field prepared to take the green, Sam Hornish Jr. ran out of gas and NASCAR called off the start. It tacked on yet another lap, and that cost Paul Menard, who led a race-high 110 laps but ran out of gas as the field took the green.

Busch, who was seeking

his first Nationwide win of the season and first in his Kyle Busch Motorsports entry, was the leader on the restart and jumped out to a comfortable lead. But his tank ran dry as he exited the third turn, and Stenhouse cruised past for the improbable victory.

“I saw Kyle and he was really shaking it down the back straightaway trying to make sure it had a lot of fuel and I thought it was good to go,” Stenhouse said.

“But right in the center it ran out and I was able to sneak by him on the outside and get the win. That was exciting.”

The win tightened up the Nationwide championship race, too. Stenhouse was 13 points behind leader Elliott Sadler at the start of the race, but cut it to six points with three races remaining.

“We knew we had to do that. I didn’t see the win coming like this but I felt we had a car that was capable of winning before we got in the mess there with (Logano),” Stenhouse said.

“We know we need to win races and if we win the rest we will win the championship no matter what.”

MIAMI VALLEY SUNDAY NEWS • WWW.TROYDAILYNEWS.COM

Magazines make a comeback Week is up to 541,000 from 525,000.

And unlike the bold move by Newsweek, many publications are taking steps to add digital formats while maintaining the print product, which is still the mainstay of their business.

Paul Canetti, the founder and CEO of MAZ, a company that helps magazines publish digital editions, says he tells prospective clients to “dip their toes” into digital publishing and “wade in as the market demands it.” He notes only about a quarter of Americans own tablet computers, which have become a popular way to read online magazines.

“Maybe what they’re really facing is an audience-connection problem and not really a print-versus-digital problem at all,” he said.

Going all-digital could solve many problems associated with the print magazine business.

For instance, magazine publishers charge advertisers according to a so-called “rate card” that is based on a promised number of paying subscribers, called a “rate base.” If subscriptions fall, publishers then must spend a lot of money mailing potential customers and offering heavy discounts just to keep advertising revenue from falling.

Newsweek had unique troubles as industry recovers LOS ANGELES (AP) — Newsweek’s decision to stop publishing a print edition after 80 years and bet its life entirely on a digital future may be more a commentary on its own problems than a definitive statement on the health of the magazine industry.

Magazine ad revenue in the U.S. is seen rising 2.6 percent this year to $18.3 billion, according to research firm eMarketer.

That would be the third increase in three years, driven mainly by gains in digital ad sales, though print ads are expected to be flat.

Paid magazine subscriptions were up 1.1 percent in the first half of the year, according to the Audit Bureau of Circulations.

And while single-copy sales at newsstands are down 9.6 percent, overall circulation — the bulk of which is in print — is steady compared to a year ago.

The water is so warm for the magazine industry that in the first nine months of the year, 181 new magazines were launched while only about a third as many, or 61, closed, according to publication database MediaFinder.com.

By several measures, the magazine business has stabilized, albeit at a lower level, since the Great Recession ended three

Newsweek announced Thursday that it will end its print publication after 80 years and shift to an all-digital format in early 2013. Its last U.S. print edition will be its Dec. 31 issue. years ago.

For some, that casts a harsher light on Newsweek’s decision to abandon print — affecting the nearly 1.4 million Newsweek subscribers who get their copy each week in the mail. They say it speaks to the magazine’s trouble connecting with and keeping its readers.

That brings to mind some questionable covers, like the July 2011 what-if image depicting what Princess Diana would have

looked like at age 50, or last month’s “Muslim Rage” cover depicting angry protesters, which was roundly mocked on social networks like Twitter.

Newsweek is using a difficult print ad environment as an “excuse” for its decision to end print runs, said Samir Husni, director of the Magazine Innovation Center at the University of Mississippi School of Journalism. He lays the blame at the feet of Tina

Brown, the editor who took control of Newsweek when it merged with the news website she ran, The Daily Beast, two years ago.

“Tina Brown took Newsweek in the wrong direction,” Husni said.

“Newsweek did not die, Newsweek committed suicide.”

To be sure, the problems were acute by the time Brown took control.

Newsweek’s circulation had plummeted from about 3.1 million in 2007 to 1.8

million in 2010, when The Washington Post Co. sold the magazine to stereo equipment magnate Sidney Harman for $1. Harman later placed Newsweek into a joint venture with IAC/InterActiveCorp’s The Daily Beast website in an effort to trim the magazine’s losses and widen its online audience.

This year, total circulation is down to about 1.5 million, less than half of what it was five years earlier, even including about 29,000 digital copies.

Meanwhile, circulation of rival Time magazine is down from about 4 million in 2006 to 3.3 million this year, a decline of just 19 percent.

General news format magazines have been challenged with the rise of news reading on the Internet, much of which is free. And Newsweek isn’t the first to drop its print product. US News & World Report dropped its weekly print edition years ago and now focuses on the Web and special print editions, such as a guide to the best graduate schools.

SmartMoney announced in June that it was going alldigital.

Yet others are succeeding. The Economist has nearly doubled its circulation to 1.6 million from 844,000 a year ago. The

TODAY IN HISTORY (AP) — Today is Sunday, Oct. 21, the 295th day of 2012. There are 71 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight: On Oct. 21, 1962, the Seattle World’s Fair closed after six months and nearly 10 million visitors. (President John F. Kennedy, scheduled to attend the closing ceremony, canceled because of what was described as a “head cold” the actual reason turned out to be the Cuban Missile Crisis.)

On this date: In 1797, the U.S. Navy frigate Constitution, also known as “Old Ironsides,” was christened in Boston’s harbor.

In 1879, Thomas Edison perfected a workable electric light at his laboratory in Menlo Park, N.J. In 1959, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, designed

by Frank Lloyd Wright, opened to the public in New York.

In 1986, pro-Iranian kidnap-

pers in Lebanon abducted American Edward Tracy (he was released in August 1991).

In 1991, American hostage Jesse Turner was freed by his kidnappers in Lebanon after nearly five years in captivity.

Ten years ago: President George W. Bush said he would try diplomacy “one more time,” but did not think Saddam Hussein would disarm even if doing so would allow the Iraqi president to remain in power.

Horror

Around About Books has a reputation for celebrating the Halloween holiday.

Around About Books owners’ family grows in October

BY JOSH BROWN Sports Editor jbrown@tdnpublishing.com

F

or the cast and crew at Around About Books in Troy, Halloween means horror.

“Horror,” however, has a different meaning for co-owners Mike Wilkinson, Dave Crouse and Sue Cantrell.

“Horror creates a family,” Wilkinson said. “It’s a small smattering of people that share a common love of horror movies. You’ll meet a lot of people that say, ‘Sure, I like horror movies.’ But they don’t love horror movies.

“As a lover of horror movies, when you meet someone else that loves horror movies, it creates an instant bond. And it’s as strong as any family bond.”

So naturally, the Halloween season is a high point of the year for them.

“Halloween is like our Christmas,” Crouse said. “It’s just a love for the season. I’ve talked to lots of people — varying degrees of enthusiasts when it comes to horror movies — and a lot of them like Halloween more than Christmas. It’s less demanding — and a lot more fun.

“It’s the time of year when we can go out in public — and not get chased by people with pitchforks,” Crouse added with a laugh.

And as such, Halloween deserves a celebration.

So Around About Books is sponsoring “Terror on the Square,” a collection of horrorrelated events — which include ghost walk tours, a 5K run at Duke Park, a zombie walk and a voodoo zombie ball at LeDoux’s — on Saturday and Sunday in downtown Troy.

Proceeds from the event “will benefit local food pantries, the Miami County Animal Shelter and local access channel TV5,” according to its Facebook page.

It’s something Wilkinson and Crouse have done since arriving at the bookstore.

“The first couple of years we just decorated the store, made up ‘haunted” areas,’ Wilkinson said. “But we’ve been doing Halloween things officially in the store since we’ve owned it.

At first, it took a while for the Troy area to respond to it.”

Now, their reputation precedes them.

“Now the store’s windows are kind of a tradition on the square in Troy,” Crouse said.

“We’ve done Halloween events every year for many years now.

Now, anytime anyone wants to know about how to put on a zombie walk or something like that, someone tells them ‘just

The store has also already become part of the city of Troy’s history, and it’s played host to the biggest local horror celebrity.

“We held horror movie marathons at the Mayflower, and actually, we showed the last films that Mr. (Alan) Teicher played there,” Wilkinson said. “We showed the original Halloween, Evil Dead 2 and Zombieland. Mr. Teicher let us put it on for charity.”

“Our first major event was when we got Dr. Creep,” Crouse said of the late Barry Lee Hobart, who hosted the local

horror showcase Shock Theater under the guise of Dr. Creep for many years in the 1970s and ’80s. “We had a line out the door of people wanting to meet him.”

“Yeah, we did that up big,” Wilkinson said. “We went to the funeral home and brought him over in a hearse. People were lined up around the block.”

“It was like we had the Beatles,” Crouse said with a laugh.

Cantrell, however, is the longest tenured member of the bookstore staff — even if she’s known Wilkinson and Crouse for longer.

“The bookstore’s been here almost 17 years now, and I’ve been here for 16 of those,” Cantrell said. “We bought it almost nine years ago.

“Mike and Dave, oh I’ve known them since my son played in a band when he was 16.”

JOSH’S FAVE FIVE HORROR MOVIES

BY JOSH BROWN Sports Editor jbrown@tdnpublishing.com Everyone has a list of their favorite movies of all time. I suppose I’m no different, only the first 10-15 on my list are all from one genre — horror movies.

I could easily fill this entire section with a diatribe on all of the best horror movies ever made and why they’re superior to all other forms of filmmaking, but I’ll try to limit myself.

Here then are my five favorite movies. If you’re planning a horror movie marathon of your own to celebrate the Halloween season, you can’t go

wrong with these classics (unless you have kids, of course.

All of these are rated ‘R.’ Use your own best judgement where that’s concerned).

1. A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984) Best. Movie. Ever.

That’s not hyperbole in my eyes. In all my (many) years, I still have yet to see its equal. Of course, it was the first movie I can remember watching once I was old enough to comprehend what movies were.

Yes, I realize an 8-year-old kid probably shouldn’t have been watching a movie like that, but I couldn’t help it.

After seeing a commercial for it before an episode of Fraggle

allowed to. So I opened up the guide, found when it would be showing, waited for them to go to bed, snuck downstairs … and was introduced to the rest of my life.

I couldn’t sleep for weeks after watching it. I did my best, when laying in bed, to arch my back away from the mattress to avoid getting pulled into it in my sleep (oh, Johnny Depp, how young you were). I went to school the Rock on HBO, I knew I HAD to next day involuntarily visualizing people in body bags in see it — even if my mom and dad told me there was • CONTINUED on C2 absolutely no way I was

Horror • Continued from B1 Every horror fan has his own origin story, and for Wilkinson, Dr. Creep — who actually became a large part of his horror family later on — was a major player.

“It all started mostly through Shock Theater with Dr. Creep,” Wilkinson said.

“Watching that … and kind of being a latchkey kid. My mom liked to play bingo and such with her friends, so she’d drop me off at the Troy Dixie Drivein, get picked up by them — and I’d sit in the car and watch movies all night long. Letting movies like Jaws and Friday the 13th be my babysitter was pretty fantastic.”

And it was clear to Wilkinson early on that horror movies were going to be a major part of his life.

“I fell into the films,” he said.

“I’ve never understood how people could just watch movies. I get absorbed into them.”

Cantrell got started early, too — although not through horror films in the traditional sense.

“It was probably The Wizard of Oz,” she said. “The Wicked Witch of the West, she terrified me. Whenever she was on screen, I’d hide behind my dad.

“I love horror movies because I love being scared.”

It was in college, though, that Crouse joined his horror family — by force, in a way.

“I really wasn’t particularly all that into horror,” Crouse said. “Then I met him in college.

He’d bring over another movie every day and be like, ‘you’ve got to see this movie!’ He kept hammering me over the head with it — and after a while, I was like, ‘You know what? This stuff is pretty awesome!’”

“And when we started hitting the conventions and meeting the people that were in the movies, that was the proverbial nail in his coffin,” Wilkinson said with a laugh.

And their screen saver at Around About Books is a virtual who’s-who of horror, with pictures of themselves with the likes of John Carpenter, Linda Blair and many, many more.

“You can never watch the movie the same way again after meeting them,” Crouse said, referring to how nice and downto-earth even the biggest of horror stars are.

“Geoffrey Lewis called me, too, and said hello. It was really cool.”

Even the surgery couldn’t keep Cantrell away, though.

“I go in on my scooter, and I have a great time,” she said.

“We just met Val Kilmer, and they let him come out of his booth to me. He shook my hand, he put his arm around me — he was very down to earth and nice. And they’re all that way, too.

“It’s all these people you’ve seen on the big screen your whole life and wondered what they’re like in real life. And then you meet them and find out they’re just like you. It’s the most awesome feeling in the world.”

And once Halloween season hits, Wilkinson, Crouse and Cantrell welcome new family members to the fold — even if a majority of them only remain for the month of October.

Terror On The Square!

OCTOBER 27TH

Special note: Whatever you do … Don’t. Watch.

The remake.

2. The Cabin in the Woods (2011) This movie’s presence on the list is a bit of a misnomer. Cabin is technically a horror movie, but there’s nothing really scary about it.

Instead, Cabin is both an homage to and a critique of the entire horror genre as a whole. Writers Joss Whedon — simply the most brilliant writer of our generation — and fellow Buffy the Vampire Slayer veteran Drew Goddard crafted a masterpiece that falls somewhere between satire and celebration. They took every overused cliche they could from every triedand-true horror movie formula in existence and twisted them into something completely new.

Naysayers can point to the Scream movies and comedies like Shaun of

the Dead or Tucker and Dale vs. Evil as pioneering meta-horror all they want, but Cabin digs deeper than any of those ever could have even dreamed of. To talk about the plot beyond “group of teens goes to a remote cabin in the woods and bad things happen” would be to spoil the creative turns the story takes.

Which would be a shame, because even people who aren’t fans of horror would find something to enjoy here.

It’s funny, it’s clever, it’s imaginative, it references countless horror movies from throughout the years and it’s original.

There aren’t many movies made in the past 20 years that can claim all of that.

Watch it.

3. Evil Dead 2: Dead

By Dawn (1987) Some horror movies end up being unintentionally funny. Some are funny by design.

Evil Dead 2 is a little of both.

In ways a retelling of the original Evil Dead, Evil Dead 2 starts off with a young couple heading to a remote cabin in the woods (sound familiar?).

They mess around with the wrong tape recorder, awaken an ancient evil that seeks to possess the living, and cheesy and goofy Ash — the role that turned Bruce Campbell into the B-movie god he is today — must become a chainsaw-wielding hero and banish the evil before it overtakes the entire world.

If you don’t quite understand the term “campy,” this movie is the perfect introduction.

Beyond the gore and scares — of which there is plenty — there’s slapstick humor, over-the-top bad acting and tongue-incheek fun that gives Evil Dead 2 the charm that has made it such a cult success.

Groovy.

4. Night of the Living Dead (1968) The original zombie movie. Accept no modern substitutes with fast-running zombies like 28 Days Later or the Dawn of the Dead remake.

Death doesn’t move fast. Death slowly shambles your way, cutting off every escape and enveloping your world until there’s nowhere to run.

Don’t look for shocking jump-out-of-your-seats moments here. This movie explores the very reason humans are afraid of death in the first place — they don’t understand it, but it’s inevitable for us all.

Night of the Living Dead was groundbreaking for other reasons, too —

like having a black star, for one. It follows a group of survivors that gets trapped in a house together, and it shows the gradual breakdown of their collective mental state as the shambling, relentless horde of the risen dead keeps them pinned down at every turn. And the shocking ending is just too perfect.

No one knows zombies like George Romero.

Seriously. Accept no substitutes.

5. Alien (1979) Aside from horror, science-fiction and fantasy are the only other genres that truly capture my imagination. Put two of them together, and you have pure magic.

Ridley Scott’s Alien is the definitive sci fi-horror experience. From the hauntingly beautiful H.R. Giger-designed creatures to the dingy, rusty clunker feel of the space freighter Nostromo to the androidgone-mad character, the movie just has so much going for it. And it just doesn’t get better than the chest-bursting scene — particularly knowing that the actors had no clue what was going to happen when it was shot.

And then there’s Sigourney Weaver’s Ripley, the original horror movie heroine. No damsel in distress here. No rescuing the princess. Just lots of kicking butt.

James Cameron, as he did with the Terminator series, later took this great sci fi-horror movie and turned it into something it was never meant to be — a straight action film. While the sequels to both are enjoyable, they’ll never, ever come close to the level of greatness that the originals achieved.

IT HAPPENED YEARS AGO

BY PATRICK D. KENNEDY For the Troy Daily News 25 Years Ago: Oct. 21 - Nov. 3, 1987 • PIQUA — They call it ‘The War.’ Sometimes, both sides are at full strength and battle to the bitter end. At other times, one side or the other is weaker, but they still battle to the end. The one week out of every year that Troy and Piqua meet on the gridiron is one which often surpasses any other in the minds and hearts of those who enter the fray. This year was no different when the two teams met on Piqua’s home field in Wertz Stadium. The Indians, with its vaunted defense, entered the annual contest boasting a perfect record in the conference. Troy came into the game with one loss, but riding the fact that they had won two straight conference titles.

Both ‘armies’ wanted the victory, but as the old saying goes, “Championships are won with defense.” Piqua was able to stymie the Trojan offense for most of the game and came away with a 24-15 victory. Although Troy had several opportunitues, they just could not consistently work their way past the Indian’s defense. On the other hand, Piqua’s offense, led by QB Shaun Karn, was able to accumulate 245 yards through the air and 125 yards on the ground. At one point the score was 17-15 in Piqua’s favor and the outcome of the game was, as usual, in doubt until the final second, but Piqua pretty much controlled the flow of the contest this year. Steve Nolan, Troy’s frustrated coach, stated, “We could never get a feel for what they were doing. We were three downs and out. You can’t pin down what a team’s doing when you do that.”

Friday night, the air was full of Piqua cheers, but there were also

The enthusiastic youth began a concerted effort of fund raising, outreach, donations, etc. in order to acquire needed supplies and accomplish the goal of providing the chapel for hospital patients and visitors. The group also sets aside every third Saturday of the month to volunteer their help to finish any other chores which need to be done around the medical facility.

Risk of falling will fall with safety precautions

BY ROSE RUSSELL Toledo Blade Pam Toto proves that a person doesn’t have to be elderly and frail to fall. The University of Pittsburgh professor of occupational therapy was a fit 43-yearold when she learned that firsthand while descending a staircase.

“It was dark, I had heels on and was in an unfamiliar environment,” she said, recalling that day two years ago. Her heel caught on a step and she pitched forward, landing on her hand and fracturing her wrist. It required surgery.

“What we know in general is that falls are caused by a lot of different reasons,” Toto said. “The research strongly tells us that there are multiple factors that contribute to falls, and environment is one of the risk factors.”

Good lighting and

switches at the top and bottom of stairs — and handrails on both sides of the stairs — are vital, said Robyn Pitock, an occupational therapist working in metropolitan Toledo,.

Other measures will minimize the risk of falling: • Clear stairs and floors of clutter, and securely fasten throw rugs. — Remove electrical cords from walkways. Use nightlights, and keep a lamp by the bed.

• Choose and arrange furniture to meet the needs

of the home’s occupants.

“The height of the chair or bed shouldn’t be below the height of the back of your knee,” said Pitock.

• Add grab bars and other safety rails where necessary.

Tori Goldhammer, an occupational therapist in Washington, Ohio, recalled working with a builder who showed her a drawing for a bathroom modification.

“He added a grab bar behind the toilet, when in fact a man needs grab bars

on both sides,” Goldhammer said.

• Watch out for uneven sidewalks, wet leaves and chairs not pushed back under a table.

• Select appropriate footwear. High-heeled shoes are obvious culprits, but slippers and open-toe shoes also can cause stumbles.

Toto said other factors that play a role in falls might have to do with walking speed, medications or individuals’ cognitive abilities.

Bourbon tourism New visitors center greets guests at Jim Beam

BY BRUCE SCHREINER Associated Press CLERMONT, Ky. — Bourbon fan Tim Allen started his day of sightseeing by sipping whiskeys crafted at a Jim Beam distillery.

Where else are pre-lunch nips more commonplace than in Kentucky bourbon country?

“That’s smooth as silk,” the North Carolinian said after sampling Jim Beam Black, a bourbon aged for eight years before bottling. “If it were close to five o’clock, I would have to do something with that.”

Hospitality is overflowing in the once-stodgy bourbon industry, with whiskey makers pouring big money into tourism.

Allen and a buddy from his college days, Woody Parker, were visiting Beam’s new $20 million visitors center, which opened earlier this fall. Four Roses, another bourbon maker, opened a new visitors center in September. Two more distillers, Wild Turkey and Heaven Hill, also are planning new attractions.

The facilities are outgrowths of the success of the Kentucky Bourbon Trail, which attracted 2 million visitors in the last five years and a half-million in 2011. Eighty-five percent of trail visitors are from outside Kentucky, according to Eric Gregory, president of the Kentucky Distillers’ Association, reflecting the growing popularity of the Bluegrass state’s staple spirit, made in the rolling hills of central Kentucky.

Beam’s new center, an eyecatching replica of a 1930s stillhouse, is three times the size of the old tourist center, which has been converted into a tasting room. Called the Jim Beam American Stillhouse, it traces the origins of the world’s largest bourbon-maker to Jacob Beam, who set up his first still in Kentucky in 1795. It features an original staircase from a historic Beam distillery, and the elevator resembles a giant still.

It’s the starting point for an hour-long tour that offers an inside peek at mashing, distilling, barreling, storing and bottling lines, a process that takes years to produce Beam bourbons sold around the world.

“When you go through our tour, you’re going to use all your senses sight, sound, smell, taste,” said Jim Beam master distiller Fred Noe, a greatgrandson of Jim Beam. “People want to see what it’s all about hands on. And that’s what we’ve got here.”

Visitors can peer into fermentation tanks in which cooked grains and water form an oatmeal-like mash, a key part of whiskey-making. In warehouses where whiskey ages, there’s the aroma from the “angel’s share,” the portion of bourbon lost to evaporation while in the barrel.

For Massachusetts visitor Sylvia Smith, touring the Beam distillery evoked fond memories of her father, who enjoyed sipping Jim Beam bourbon with his brother-in-law every Saturday after working on their farm.

“They would have what they called a ‘board meeting,’” said Smith, who toured the distillery with her husband. “It was really going to my uncle’s bar in his cellar and having a few drinks and man time.”

Bourbon production has risen more than 115 percent since 1999, with the popularity of pricier small-batch and singlebarrel brands leading the way along with growing international demand. Kentucky produces 95 percent of the world’s bourbon. The state has more barrels of bourbon aging in warehouses than it does people.

Wild Turkey, another iconic brand, will open a $4 million visitors center next spring, offering striking views of the Kentucky River below the distillery’s grounds near Lawrenceburg. The new center will be nearly eight times larger than the current facility.

“This new visitor center will essentially serve as the ‘University of Bourbon,’” said Jimmy Russell, Wild Turkey’s longtime master distiller.

Four Roses Distillery, also near Lawrenceburg, recently opened a new visitors center to promote the 124-year-old brand made at its Spanish Missionstyle distillery. The new center and gift shop were part of a $2.4 million expansion.

The Woodford Reserve Distillery near Versailles plans renovations to its visitors center next year and has hired more tour guides.

Visitors to the popular Maker’s Mark Distillery near Loretto can dip their own bottles in the distinctive red wax topping every bottle of the premium bourbon.

Alltech’s Lexington Brewing & Distilling Co. recently started making its Town Branch bourbon at a new $9.2 million distillery in the heart of Kentucky’s second-largest city. The distillery includes a visitors center.

The distilleries are within easy driving distance of thoroughbred farms, another signature Kentucky industry. Some people combine bourbon tours with visits to farms or to Churchill Downs in Louisville or Keeneland at Lexington when there’s live racing at the tracks.

Sometimes visitors get to meet the master distillers the men responsible for making the bourbon if they’re not on the road promoting the brands.

“One of the best parts of my job is sharing my love for bourbon,” Russell said.

At the Jim Beam’s distillery at Clermont, visitors might see Noe taking a break, sitting on a rocking chair outside his office just up a ridge from the visitors center. Like his counterparts at other distilleries, he relishes the chance to talk about whiskey making.

“I really am a live, breathing person, and not some marketing tool that somebody just made up,” Noe said.

Jerrod Niemann’s latest CD takes listeners on a musical journey

BY JIM DAVIS Staff Writer davis@tdnpublishing.com

This film image released by Summit Entertainment shows Tyler Perry in the title role during a scene from “Alex Cross.”

Tyler Perry’s ‘Alex Cross’ is a bust

BY DAVID GERMAIN AP Film Reviewer James Patterson titled his 12th Alex Cross crime novel simply “Cross.” The filmmakers who adapted it expanded the title to “Alex Cross.”

They might as well have gone for broke and called it “Tyler Perry’s Madea’s Stab at Expanding Her-His Hollywood Marketability as James Patterson’s Alex Cross.”

Perry’s name will draw his fans in. Patterson’s name will draw his fans in. There’s no trace of Madea in director Rob Cohen’s adaptation, yet the spirit of the sassy grandma inevitably hangs over the project for viewers curious to see Perry playing it straight and dramatic.

Alex Cross the man and “Alex Cross” the movie wind up suffering for it. It’s perfectly reasonable for Perry to try to broaden his enormous popularity beyond the Madea lineage in his own raucous portraits of family life.

It’s also perfectly reasonable to say that casting Perry as Cross was a bad idea, though it’s not necessarily the worst in a movie built on bad ideas.

Perry has little allure as supposedly brilliant criminal profiler Cross.

He looks the part of Patterson’s big, athletic hero. And no one expects a Morgan Freeman, who played Cross in “Kiss the Girls” and “Along Came a Spider.” But Perry is lowkey bordering on sleepwalker dull, and the standard-issue cop-vs.-serialkiller story presents Cross as more of a dopey psycho-babbler than a guy whose incisive mind cuts right to the heart of the case.

In this scenario, Cross is early on in his career, a star on the Detroit police department along with partner and best pal Thomas Kane (Edward Burns). They’re tracking a killer code-named Picasso (Matthew Fox) who’s working his way up the food chain with murders and attempted murders of execs at an international conglomerate, with the big boss, Giles Mercier (Jean Reno), clearly the ultimate target.

It’s unclear just how the showy crimes against underlings are going to get Picasso closer to his goal, rather than simply alerting authorities to put extra security on Mercier. But such is the

hazy thinking of the twisted mind, and such is the hazier thinking of Hollywood hacks who don’t care about making sense.

It made enough sense to Patterson, though, a producer on the movie.

Director Cohen (“The Fast and the Furious”) and screenwriters Marc Moss and Kerry Williamson weave in as bland a home-life as imaginable for Cross, with his perfect wife (Carmen Ejogo), their perfect kids and his perfect live-in mom (Cicely Tyson). The filmmakers offer a miserly personal life for Kane, who’s feeling his way through a new romance with a fellow detective (Monica Ashe).

As the irascible police chief, John C. McGinley looks permanently constipated and wishing he could be anywhere but here.

Unlike Freeman’s Rrated Alex Cross movies, the grisly crimes are only talking points, the images sanitized to a Perryfriendly PG-13 level.

Cohen’s strong suit usually is action, but fights, chases and gunplay are mostly a jumble of quick cuts. An opening scene in which Cross literally dodges a bullet a second or more after it’s fired kind of sums up the action trajectory, which eventually devolves from bad police procedural into a bad “Dirty Harry” copycat.

Fox plays Picasso like a drop-out from the Heath Ledger’s Joker school of cackling villainy, repeatedly calling Cross on the phone to toss around dreary taunts.

Cross’ profile technique amounts to “I don’t have any concrete information about this perp so I’m going to spout vague generalities while furrowing my brow.” He blathers on about Picasso as a rogue sociopath, a narcissist out to make someone suffer, maybe his mom or his dad or himself or the whole world.

“Who the hell knows?”

Cross says.

Tyler Perry’s Alex Cross certainly doesn’t.

Neither does Tyler Perry.

“Alex Cross,” a Summit Entertainment release, is rated PG-13 for violence including disturbing images, sexual content, language, drug references and nudity. Running time: 102 minutes. One and a half stars out of four.

errod Niemann isn’t the first artist to try something new. But in the sometimes fickle world of country music, Niemann’s attempt to take listeners down an unfamiliar path is certainly refreshing.

For his latest album on Sea Gayle Records/Arista Nashville, the 33-year-old Kansas native drew on country music’s past to help shape his own musical future with the Oct. 2 release of “Free The Music.”

“I know its different, and that’s something that we really wanted to accomplish,” he said during a recent phone interview.

“You have to have your own voice, and it may as well be your own. Waylon Jennings and Johnny Cash — they were all unique and different in their time — so to me, it’s just an inspiring tool.”

Although the singersongwriter tasted success on his major label debut in 2010 — “Lover, Lover” off the “Judge Jerrod & the Hung Jury” album hit No. 1, while “What Do You Want?” peaked at No. 4 — Niemann said he wanted to dig a little deeper this time around.

“The first album was totally just messing around. I didn’t have the opportunity to have a record deal. I was sort of a free agent … and we recorded it kind of in the middle of the night over a year. It was sort of a big accident,” he remembered.

“Going into this one, we had one under out belts and had learned a lot about working in the studio.

“You see what works for you when you’re out on the road. And since I wanted to work with horns, it definitely allowed me to write in a certain direction,” he continued. “I wanted to capture a Dixieland sound, and to be able to write in the direction of the instrumentation was definitely

Jerrod Niemann, who made his Country Concert at Hickory Hill Lakes debut July 7 in Fort Loramie, recently released his sophomore album “Free The Music.” important to me.”

Niemann, who brought a horn section with him to Fort Loramie this summer when he made his Country Concert at Hickory Hill Lakes debut, said he came across all sorts of forgotten sounds while doing research for “Free The Music,” including vintage brass, woodwinds and string instruments.

“I’ve always loved the history of country music — all the way back to the 1920s — so I started digging in more to the recording vibe … the textures and stuff,” he explained. “I thought that was pretty fascinating. It’s kind of a lost era of instrumentation. People have touched on them in the past, but not a whole lot. We all come from somewhere different, so for me, it was an eye-opening experience.

And it was fun for me. A lot of people don’t realize that those are country instruments.”

From the very beginning of Niemann’s latest disc, he serves up some of those discoveries and allows listeners to roam free on their own.

“Free the Music is the first song on the album, and it just sort of fit in place. With some of the unique song selections, it just seemed fitting,” he said. “That wasn’t the

original title for the album. I had a different idea and, as it went on and I found more and more different ways to add to it creatively, it came to need a broader title.”

The album’s first single — “Shinin’ on Me” — helped make a splash on country radio and climbed as high as No. 17 on the country charts earlier this year. Niemann said while the tune has a decidedly “summer” feel to it, it also carries an underlying positive message.

“Although it is a sumer song, it’s really a figurative statement,” he said.

“It’s saying the world doesn’t always go the way we want it to, but sometimes you can put your troubles on hold.”

Grammy winning pop singer/songwriter Colbie Callait provided guest vocals on “I’m All About You,” which takes listeners in a different direction with a slower, jazz vibe.

“That was a song that a longtime co-writing buddy and I wrote. When I went into the studio to record that song, I wanted it to have more of a jazz feel.

And it was just a fantasy thought … I wondered if

Can ‘Cloud Atlas’ survive Hollywood?

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Susan Sarandon reported for work on “Cloud Atlas” midway through the shoot, in time to see a collection of far-flung film scenes that the cast and crew were viewing.

There were bits of a 19th century sea voyage, a 1930s period drama, a 1970s thriller, a contemporary comic adventure, a 22nd century tale of rebellion and a 24th century post-apocalyptic saga.

“I just thought, my God, this looks like the trailer for every film a studio is doing for the entire season,” Sarandon recalled.

Yet it was just one film: “Cloud Atlas,” an epic of shifting genres and intersecting souls that features Tom Hanks, Halle Berry, Jim Broadbent, Hugh Grant, Hugo Weaving, Ben Whishaw, Jim Sturgess, James D’Arcy, Doona Bae, Keith David, Sarandon and others in multiple roles spanning centuries.

That diverse cast is a great selling point for distributor Warner Bros., which opens “Cloud Atlas”

in U.S. theaters Oct. 26.

So, too, is the filmmaking team: American siblings Lana and Andy Wachowski, creators of “The Matrix” films, who wrote the screenplay and directed “Cloud Atlas” with German filmmaker Tom Tykwer (“Run Lola Run”).

The fact that the film is adapted from a best-selling novel also should help its audience appeal. Yet considering that “Cloud Atlas” author David Mitchell himself once felt the novel was unfilmable, fans of the book may have serious doubts about handing over their cash and spending nearly three hours in a theater to digest Hollywood’s version.

It’s such a tough sell that even the notoriously media-shy Wachowskis, who had a no-press clause on earlier films, are out there eagerly hawking “Cloud Atlas.”

“It’s dear to us, and that’s definitely part of it.

Our partnership with Tom, our marriage with Tom, that’s definitely a part of it. Tom engages with the

press and has shown us, taught us some tricks that have made it a little easier for us to get back involved,” said Andy Wachowski in an interview alongside his sister, who is transgender and changed her name from Larry to Lana, and their longtime pal Tykwer.

With mixed but generally appreciative early reviews some critics reveling in its audacity and even detractors admiring its ambition “Cloud Atlas” already is an artistic success simply by existing, given its unlikely path to the screen.

The Wachowskis discovered the book from Natalie Portman, who was reading “Cloud Atlas” on the set of their 2006 thriller “V for Vendetta.” The siblings recommended the novel to Tykwer, and the three spent years overcoming creative and commercial obstacles to adapt it for film.

The $100 million budget was pieced together from a variety of international financiers and dis-

tributors; Warner Bros. acquired U.S. rights but declined to finance the film, despite the studio’s success with the Wachowskis’ “Matrix” trilogy.

Then there were the challenges of condensing dozens of key characters in six stories that span the globe and sprawl across 500 years as souls are reincarnated and progress through the ages.

“The book seemed almost like a revolutionary act in and of itself,” Lana Wachowski said. “David has said since that they did have trouble with, do you put it in science fiction, do you put it in drama? Where do you put it on the shelf in the bookstore?”

The way they cracked the code was, in a word author Mitchell tosses about repeatedly, ingenious. The same actors would play characters in different periods, sometimes switching race and gender, as each soul moves upward, downward or sideways on the karmic plane.

Colbie would sing on it,” he said. “She listened to the song and called me and said she would do it.”

Niemann gets a chance to stretch his voice in a slower setting on songs like “Whiskey Kind of Way” and “Only God Could Love You More,” but clearly shows he’s having a blast on lighthearted songs “Real Women Drink Beer” and “Honky Tonk Fever” — the latter of which he said is his favorite.

“It changes tempos in every section and covers all the Dixieland sounds — clarinet, trombone and trumpet,” he said. “It took me about two years to write, and it was very tough to record, so I was very excited (to put it on the record). Anytime you spend a couple of years on a song, it’s definitely a blessing and a curse.”

Although the album has been out less than a month, Niemann is happy with the way it turned out and the response he has received.

“I’m very excited,” he said. “We spent the past couple of years on it … and it has a lot of blood, sweat and tears.”

And a voice all its own.

BOOK REVIEW SUNDAY CROSSWORD

Horror history needs sharper bite

BY DOUGLASS K. DANIEL AP Book Reviewer “Reel Terror: The Scary, Bloody, Gory, Hundred Year History of Classic Horror Films” (St. Martin’s Griffin/Thomas Dunne Books), by David Konow: Hunkered down in your seat during “The Last House on the Left” back in 1972, you probably wouldn’t have believed that four decades later the carnage unfolding before your eyes would be considered historical.

After all, it was only a movie … only a movie … only a movie.

That catchy tag line wasn’t what made the disturbing horror film significant. As David Konow explains in “Reel Terror,” the movie’s primary contribution to the genre was boosting the careers of Wes Craven (later the director of “A Nightmare on Elm Street”) and Sean Cunningham (later the director of “Friday the 13th”). Plus, it gave new meaning to the word “vile.”

Mainstream moviegoers are better acquainted with horror classics like “Psycho,” ”The Exorcist,” ”Jaws” and “Halloween,” all of which get their due in Konow’s overview. But his narrative thrives on the details of many other high points of horror or low points, depending on how you look at it. Examining the genre over time suggests that: Horror has been looked down on from the beginning. Even after the success of “Dracula” and “Frankenstein” in the 1930s, movie studio Universal wanted to get out of the monster business. For established directors like William Friedkin (“The Exorcist”) and Stanley Kubrick (“The Shining”) making a horror movie was akin to slumming.

Major influences can come from unexpected places. The fan magazine Famous Monsters of Filmland and EC Comics inspired readers to become writers and filmmakers.

Director George Romero’s low-budget “Night of the Living Dead” (1968) was the midnight movie that launched a thousand zombies.

Filmmakers should beware of success in an unappreciated genre.

Horror hits have pigeonholed people like Romero, Craven and Tobe Hooper of “The Texas Chain Saw Massacre” fame, limiting their opportunities to direct different kinds of movies.

On the other hand, each has secured a place in cinema history.

For a book that claims to span a century, Konow gives short shrift to the first five decades or so.

Significant 1930s films like “Freaks” and “Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde” are all but ignored. The frights of the atomic age (“Godzilla”) and the space age (“The Thing From Another World,” ”The Blob”) and the youth-oriented horror movies of the 1950s (“I Was a Teenage Werewolf”) are passed over in favor of more recent films.

Konow does yeoman’s work when it comes to collecting facts from previously published material and presenting quotes from fresh interviews. Yet, at times, he assumes a level of knowledge beyond what many potential readers will possess.

BOOK REVIEWS

New biography gets inside actor’s head

BY DOUGLASS K. DANIEL AP Book Reviewer

Fonda’s Broadway triumph, was a suicide. There’s even the possibility that it wasn’t an accident in 1935 “The Man Who Saw a that put Fonda, his film Ghost: The Life and career under way, inside a Work of Henry Fonda” garage and at the wheel of (St. Martin’s Press), by a car, its engine running.

Devin McKinney: OscarFonda appears to have winning actor Henry Fonda been drawn to real people was a haunted man? The and fictionalized characters distinctly American charac- who destroy themselves or ters he played in films and cannot resist a path toward onstage young Abraham death. To ascertain why, Lincoln, Tom Joad, Wyatt author Devin McKinney Earp, Mister Roberts, the relies heavily on books by president of the United Fonda and children Peter States certainly dealt with and Jane as he explores their share of ghosts. But the actor’s psyche.

Fonda himself?

“The Man Who Saw a Self-destruction, if not Ghost” is as unusual and specters, did seem to trail intriguing a Hollywood Fonda. His wife Frances biography as its title sugkilled herself, and a former gests. Fonda has long been wife, actress Margaret described as a cold, emoSullavan, may have ended tionally distant father and her own life as well. The self-centered husband he author of the novel “Mister was married five times.

Roberts,” which led to McKinney is less interested

in Fonda on the set than trying to explain the man and the masks he chose to wear for the public’s amusement.

McKinney’s narrative often carries the tone of a psychiatric report grave, humorless and bent on connecting Fonda’s off-screen actions to his on-screen work. Sometimes, McKinney gets lost inside the actor’s head in his search for meaning. Yet, even as he overwrites in making a point, he can be persuasive.

For example, McKinney argues that Fonda’s role in “The Wrong Man” as an innocent musician whose incarceration drives his wife insane is uncomfortably reminiscent of wife Frances’ mental decline.

McKinney also sees Fonda’s role in the play “A Gift of Time” the protago-

nist kills himself rather than continue a slow death from cancer as his way of dramatizing “an obligation” to his late wife and achieving some kind of understanding.

Still, as Freud might have said, sometimes a role is just a role, especially when an actor is under contract to a studio, seeking a challenge or just out to make a dollar.

McKinney is on firmer ground when he cites Fonda’s efforts to see to the screen the anti-lynching Western “The Ox-Bow Incident” and the courtroom drama “12 Angry Men.” Those two films connect better than others to the big reveal in McKinney’s psychiatric portrait, the ghost that might explain how Fonda lived: At 14, he witnessed the lynching of a

black man in his hometown of Omaha, Neb. “It suggests the seeds of so much sorrow, anger and solitude in Fonda,” McKinney writes. But he says it’s only context, not an explanation. “All we may claim is that it happened, and all we may justifiably imagine is that a boy witnessed it, remembered it, and carried it with him through all the years of a long, difficult, meaningful, magnificent American life until he too was dead, his bones burned, his body released from all pain, all memory, ashes to ashes.”

Overwrought prose aside, McKinney offers a unique portrait of an actor who hid so much emotionally but trusted his audience to see what he couldn’t show them.

Roger Moore dishes on 007 in ‘Bond on Bond’

BY DOUGLASS K. DANIEL AP Book Reviewer

ings as Bond, Moore brought a light humor that set him apart from Connery’s more serious and at times sadistic manner.

Did you know: Unlike Connery, Moore’s Bond never smoked cigarettes. The actor writes that he had quit a few years before “Live and Let Die,” his first Bond movie.

Actor Desmond Llewelyn, who played armament expert “Q” in 17 of the films, was a technophobe who could barely operate a video recorder.

Moviemakers would dress up an air base near Britain’s Pinewood Studios,

home to the Bond franchise, so it could stand in for air bases as needed in Cuba, Azerbaijan and even America’s Fort Knox.

Actress Lois Maxwell contacted “Dr. No” director Terence Young, a friend, in search of a job to tide over her family in the wake of her husband’s heart attack.

A two-day gig as lovelorn secretary Miss Moneypenny in the first Bond film led to appearances in 14 films spanning 23 years.

What vanquished archvillain Blofeld and his evil organization SPECTRE? It wasn’t sharks or lasers but

lawsuits. Moore says a dispute over who created SPECTRE resulted in its being dropped from future films.

Other books have far more trivia and making-of material from each of the films. Moore, understandably, is most chatty about his own experiences, though he is too much a gentleman to criticize his colleagues without a smile. An exception might be one-shot wonder George Lazenby, portrayed as a bratty Bond who took the blast of fame that came with “On Her Majesty’s Secret Service” all too seriously.

Restaurant cell phone distractions still irritate ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The digital divide is wider than ever between diners who talk, tweet and snap pictures mid-meal and those who wish theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d just shut up, shut down and be present.

Caught at the center of the discord are restaurant owners and chefs, who must walk the careful line of good customer service for both those who dine under the influence of smart phones, and those who wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. But as the devices have morphed into an unrelenting appendage for texting, photography and games, more restaurateurs are chal-

lenged to keep the peace.

Owners who once relied mostly on â&#x20AC;&#x153;no cell phones, pleaseâ&#x20AC;? signs, increasingly are experimenting with everything from penalties for using phones, discounts for not and outright bans on photography. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no place to get away from the chatter,â&#x20AC;? said Julie Liberty of Miami, who started the Facebook page â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ban Cell Phones From Restaurantsâ&#x20AC;? earlier this year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everything has a soundtrack, including when you go into the ladies room.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just not right.â&#x20AC;?

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a touchy issue.

Consider the crush of news

coverage Eva Restaurant in Los Angeles generated when it began offering patrons a 5 percent discount if they leave their phone at the door. Online comments ranged from cheers of â&#x20AC;&#x153;YES!â&#x20AC;? to others who said their phones would have to be pried from their cold, dead hands.

The policy is working, though. Evaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Rom Toulon said about 40 percent of customers will leave their cell phones at the door. â&#x20AC;&#x153;After a few cocktails and glasses of wine, it can be challenging to remember that you left the phone behind,â&#x20AC;? he said.

The burst of headlines for Eva came after a Burlington, Vt., deli took on cyber-folk hero status for posting a sign informing customers that $3 will be added to their bill â&#x20AC;&#x153;if you fail to get off your phone while at the counter. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rude.â&#x20AC;? Disgusted diners are doing their part too with games like â&#x20AC;&#x153;phone stack,â&#x20AC;? in which everyone places their phones in a stack in the middle of the table. The first person who reaches for their phone pays the bill for all.

These are more creative approaches to the no cellphone signs now common in

The landmark Boston restaurant Locke-Ober asks diners in language appropriate for a place with a dress code to â&#x20AC;&#x153;kindly refrain from using cellular phones.â&#x20AC;? In Albany, N.Y., the Hamilton Street Cafe has a more direct, hand-drawn â&#x20AC;&#x153;No cell phones at the counterâ&#x20AC;? sign with a phone with a red â&#x20AC;&#x153;Xâ&#x20AC;? through it.

Wine gets in the spirit with new liquor blends By the Associated Press

Cognac blended with moscato? Pink wine mixed with port? And how about a mashup of sparkling white wine and vodka? Hard liquor is showing a softer side as producers shake things up with new blends that put wine and spirits in the same bottle. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Companies are going out of the box,â&#x20AC;? observes Ted Carmon, spirits buyer for the BevMo! liquor chain.

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no official category name so far Spirited wines? Laid-back liquors? but Carmon traces liquorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;anything goesâ&#x20AC;? movement to Pinnacle Whipped, the wildly popular whippedcream flavored vodka that came out a couple of years ago. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That really rewrote the rules on what kind of flavors could be used.â&#x20AC;?

Bill Newlands, president of Beam Inc., which bought Pinnacle Vodka earlier this year, sees the intensely flavored Whipped as playing into a trend of consumers â&#x20AC;&#x153;whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an alcohol beverage or anything else, looking for more flavor reward.â&#x20AC;? Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking for two things, he says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;flavor and flavor intensity.â&#x20AC;?

That quest influenced Beamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s latest product, Courvoisier Gold, which blends French cognac with moscato wine from the South of France. Research indicated customers, particularly women, wanted a cognac with less alcohol but more flavor, and Gold answers on both counts coming in at 36 proof, or 18 percent alcohol by volume, well below the 40 percent (80 proof) of traditional cognac. Suggested retail for a 750-milliliter bottle is

AP PHOTO/BEAM INC.

This undated publicity image provided by Beam, Inc. shows CourvoisierÂŽ Rose liqueur. $24.99.

Gold follows last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s introduction of Courvoisier Rose, which blends cognac with French red wine grapes. Both blends can be drunk on the rocks or mixed into cocktails.

Gold and Rose are both grape-on-grape affairs since cognac, a type of brandy made in the Cognac wine region in France, is a distilled grape spirit.

But TUNE, a new product from ABSOLUT, goes in a different direction, blending grain-based vodka with a sparkling white wine, New Zealand sauvignon blanc to be precise. It comes in a Champagne-style bottle decorated with gold stars, swirls and other patterns which has an outer wrapper of silver, black and gold that â&#x20AC;&#x153;unzipsâ&#x20AC;? for presentation pizazz. TUNE, so named for the dual notes of

vodka and wine, is 14 percent alcohol by volume and has a suggested retail of $31.99.

Another beverage taking a lighter touch is Croft Pink, which is a port (not a liquor but wine thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been fortified by addition of a spirit). Croft traces its roots to 1588, making classic ruby and tawny ports.

Croft Pink is made from traditional port grapes but with light contact between the wine and the grape skins, resulting in a light ruby color. It was made with cocktails in mind to introduce port to a new audience. Alcohol content is 19.5 percent by volume, similar to traditional port.

Suggested retail is $19.99 for a 750-milliliter bottle.

Lain Bradford, a South Carolina wine and spirits writer who blogs at winetalk.org, has noticed the blurring of the lines between wines and spirits, especially in restaurants, for instance margaritas made with fruit wine thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been flavored to taste like tequila. As for the flavored spirits trend, â&#x20AC;&#x153;It almost feels like the vodka producers are just walking down the grocery aisle and saying, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s try this flavor,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? he says, noting that flavored rums and tequilas also are being introduced.

He sees the new spiritwine products as tailored to Americansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; fondness for all things sweet. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The sweet market has taken off so much. I think a lot of the spirit houses are capitalizing on the sweet market right now and introducing spirits with sweet wine to come out with drinks that will be a good cross-over.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good way to bridge sweet wine drinkers with new spirits and the classic spirits.â&#x20AC;?

MORTGAGE WATCH

Rate on 30-year fixed mortgage near record low WASHINGTON (AP) — The average U.S. rate on a 30-year fixed mortgage has fallen to near its record low set earlier this month.

The rate on the most popular mortgage dipped to 3.37 percent from 3.39 last week, mortgage buyer Freddie Mac said Thursday. Two weeks ago, the rate reached 3.36 percent, its lowest level on records dating to 1971.

The average rate on the 15-year fixed mortgage, often used for refinancing, set a record low of 2.66 percent, down from last week’s 2.7 percent.

Cheaper mortgages are helping fuel a modest but steady housing recovery.

The average rate on the 30-year loan has remained below 4 percent all year. And rates have fallen even further since the Federal Reserve started buying mortgage bonds in September to try to encourage more borrowing and spending.

The Fed said it would continue buying bonds until the job market shows substantial improvement. When home prices rise, people tend to feel wealthier and spend more freely. And consumer spending drives nearly 70 percent of economic activity.

Home sales have risen from last year, and prices are rising more consistently in most areas. Builders are more confident and starting more homes. Lower rates have also persuaded more people to refinance. That typically leads to lower monthly mortgage payments and more spending.

Builders last month started construction on single-family houses and apartments at the fastest rate in more than four years, the Commerce Department said Wednesday. And they laid plans to build homes at an even fast pace in coming months a signal of their confidence that the housing rebound will last.

Other recent reports have shown marked improvement in the housing market five years after the bubble burst.

Still, the housing market has a long way to a full recovery. And many people are unable to take advantage of the low rates, either because they can’t qualify for stricter lending rules or they lack the money to meet larger down payment requirements.

Our entire staff is ready to provide whatever home financing options you need.

Whether youʼre exploring possible changes to your current loan, making home improvements, or are in the market for a new home, our team will help you reach new heights.

PNC Mortgage believes in teamwork.

“I’ll know it when I see it.”

“This doesn’t feel like home to me.”

“Someday the right one will come along; I’ll keep looking until it does.” “It’s going to be my home; it has to feel special.”

These comments are typical of buyers who’ve looked for a while but haven’t committed to buying.

The objections sound sensible. Yet, they could be excuses not to buy.

Homebuying is not for everyone.

It’s a major commitment and is often the most expensive purchase most people will make in their lifetime. It’s understandable that some buyers approach the home search with reservations.

Start in fall to create a healthy garden

BY JOE LAMP’L Scripps Howard News Service They say you can work now or work later, but sooner or later the work has to get done. That’s certainly true for next year’s garden.

Getting the garden put to bed in the late fall can really save some effort next year. It’s finishing up any harvesting, cleaning up dead plant material, tidying up the mess and disarray, packing away things you won’t need during the winter and preparing everything to be ready for spring. Cool weather makes these final chores easier to accomplish, and you’ll get a lot more time next season, when so much needs to be done all at once.

Here’s what to do: — Clean up. Drain and put away hoses, store decorations, plant tags and supports. Do a final harvest of remaining fruits and vegetables, and pull up the dead annuals. Clean out overgrown areas to keep pests from finding shelter over the winter.

Empty decorative containers and store the soil if you plan to reuse it next year. Before storing pots and containers indoors for the winter, wash and sterilize first by rinsing them with a solution of 9 parts water to 1 part bleach. Remove caked mud and rusted oxidizations from tools, too.

— Cut back. Most perennials can be cut back in the fall, but wait until the first killing frost.

As for woody shrubs, prune out dead or diseased branches, but

Getting the garden put to bed in the late fall can really save some effort next year. hold off on the major pruning until fully dormant. You don’t want any new growth that could be killed later. This is also a good time to pick up all debris and destroy infected plant material.

— Plant. Fall is the perfect time for planting. The air is cool, while the soil is still warm. It’s the ideal combination to get new plants and transplants off to a great start. In fact, trees and

shrubs can be planted up until the soil freezes hard. In areas where the ground doesn’t freeze, water through the winter.

Dormant plants still need moisture, just not as much. Get some seeds in the ground, too. Sow winter-hardy crops like parsley, chives, spinach, mustard, lettuce, Swiss chard, kale and Chinese cabbage. Protect with cloches or covers made from

Many tropicals will spring back to life next spring by spending winter indoors.

— Tend to tools. Clean and sharpen pruners, shovels and other metal tools. Sand and apply a coat of linseed oil to wooden handles and light machine oil to metal parts to prevent rust. Drain the gasoline out of power tools, clean blades and lightly oil all metal parts.

— Plan for spring. Now’s the time to look back objectively over the garden and decide what worked, what didn’t and make your plans for next year. And give yourself a pat on the back while you’re at it. Your hard work now will put you just that much further ahead, come spring.

homes for sale, try to see beyond the seller’s décor and the staging.

A well-staged home can mask floor plan defects. It can be misleading in terms of what you need in a home. For instance, a first-time buyer made the mistake of buying a home that was staged so well that she didn’t realize that there was no formal dining room and no eating area in the kitchen.

On the other hand, you may be tempted to turn down a home that’s staged to appeal to the widest audience but appears not to suit your needs.

Let’s say a home has three bedrooms but no home office. If you need only two bedrooms, you could use the third bedroom as an office, even though it’s not represented that way.

The best way to see a home you’re really interested in is with your agent. Many buyers aren’t good at visualizing a home any other way than how it’s shown. An experienced agent should be able to show you how you can adapt a home to your needs.

It’s often hard to make a good assessment of a home you’re serious about at a Sunday open house.

Have your agent take you back for a second or third look.

THE CLOSING: Bring your wish list and discuss the pros and cons before you make a final decision.

CANDICE TELLS ALL

Penthouse condo makeover exudes lofty style

BY CANDICE OLSON Scripps Howard News Service Ana and Mario’s home is on the penthouse floor of an older downtown condo building. Their unit has some really great features, including high ceilings and a wood-burning fireplace. The fireplace really sold them on this home, but they were having trouble using the large, open space effectively. Their small dining nook made it impossible to host friends and family, and the room’s dysfunctional layout hid this condo’s untapped potential.

We needed a grand design, but we only had one month. That wasn’t much time to complete the renovation I had in mind; we really couldn’t afford any delays. But as soon as the clock started ticking, we began to experience the challenges of renovating an urban condo. Regulated working hours, limited elevator access, no outside parking and strict condo board rules cramped our style, but once we got all the tools and supplies inside, this downtown penthouse really started to shape up.

The key to working with a large, open space is to divide it into functional zones. My plan for Ana and Mario’s condo called for a parlor area, a dining room/fireside lounge, a working nook with desk and storage, and an ultrafunctional kitchen countertop prep area that flows right into a new breakfast bar. Ana has several pieces of heavy, solid wooden furniture that hold real sentimental value for her because they were handmade by her father. Those pieces had to be incorporated into the design as well.

Starting with the kitchen, we introduced an old-world feeling with a large photo mural that takes up both corner walls. We found the perfect picture, one that evokes European charm and reminds Ana of her surroundings as a child in Portugal. A four-seat breakfast bar provides enough room for casual meals, and the extended countertop makes it easy for the cook to join the conversation.

In the dining area, Ana’s heirloom cabinet remains the focal point of the wall. A large dining table with seating for six was placed opposite the fireplace, and is crowned

The wall mural, furnishings and accessories all combine to give this space a distinctly European feel, while the redesign creates room to entertain family and friends. by an elegant chandelier, which hangs from our custom coffered ceiling.

The sunken square ceiling panels pull the entire space together and make the most of this condo’s rare high ceiling, while recessed lighting fixtures brighten the entire space.

We removed a closet to make a nook for an elegant wooden desk and some shelving above it — the perfect place to display interesting collectibles. A telescope placed beside the window adds more old-world charm, and a custommade sofa with two rows of nail-head trim bathes in the natural light in front of the window. The parlor zone is home to not only the comfy custom couch, but also a shaggy white rug, a glass coffee table, a large bookcase, a comfortable tub chair and two wooden end tables.

And then, we come to the piece de resistance: the fireplace. Regulations required that this old wood-burning fireplace be inspected before renovation, and guess what?

Rust and water damage were in the fireplace, and it was sentenced to never burn wood again. This could have been a really big setback. So, we proceeded with the new cladding while we investigated alternatives. The

Ana and Mario’s dysfunctional layout hid their condo’s untapped potential. building had no natural gas service, so the only option was an ethanol fireplace. Ethanol is absolute alcohol, made by fermenting the sugars and starches of plant by-products. It burns cleanly, with no smoke or sparks. Best of all, it looks like a real wood fire. Bingo! We had

the answer to our burning question.

I wanted Ana and Mario’s condo to transport them to another place every time they come home. The wall mural, the furnishings and the accessories all combine to give this space a distinctly European feel, while the

redesign creates room for them to entertain family and friends. Open concept spaces really work when you break them down into distinct zones. This beautiful and elegant penthouse delivers everything Ana and Mario were looking for: stylish flair, welcoming comfort and tradi-

tional European elegance.

It might not have been easy, but the end result is a sky-high condo that achieves some pretty lofty goals.
