It doesn’t matter if theearth sways in Chile, Alaska orJapan, the formation of the seafloor along the U.S. WestCoast generally aims anytsunami surges at the tinyCalifornia port town ofCrescent City.
Churning water rushes intothe boat basin and then rushesout, lifting docks off their pil-ings, tearing boats loose andleaving the city’s main eco-nomic engine looking as if ithas been bombed.
That’s what happened inMarch 2011, when a Japaneseearthquake sparked a tsunamithat sank 11 boats, damaged47 others and destroyed two-thirds of the harbor’s docks.See Page 6.

‘I knew it would bechallenging’
BY MELANIE YINGSTStaff Writer
As a former varsity footballplayer under the wing ofCoach Max Current, West
Point Academy Cadet Reed Pyerssaid his former coach’s two-a-dayfootball practices were a walk in thepark compared to the army acade-my’s rigorous field exercises.“Sometimes you are in 90 to 100
degrees, marching with only a fewhours of sleep and carrying 150pounds up and down hills – NewYork has a lot more hills than Ohio,”Pyers explained in front of a class offreshmen at Miami East HighSchool last Monday. “It’s definitelyharder than Coach Current’s two-a-days. Much. Much. Harder.”As part of the Cadet Public
Relations Council, Pyers spoke toseveral high school classes at TroyHigh School, Piqua High School,Newton Local School and his almamater Miami East where he gradu-ated in 2011.Cadet Pyers, now in his second
year at the Army’s military academy,was granted extended leave to pro-mote his experience as a cadet in theprestigious leadership academyfounded in 1802 in New York lastweek. The son of Kevin and LoriPyers of Troy, Pyers shared his expe-rience of daily life and the opportu-nity all military service academiesprovide.
“It’s interesting to say the least,”the 20-year-old said. “Obviously, it’spretty challenging and ultimately itinstills in you what it takes to be anofficer and will set you up for therest of your life.”Pyers said he has enjoyed how
the Army experience has “helped mepush through the tough times.”“I knew it would be challenging,”
he continued. “Being in the Army issomething I’ve always consideredand thought would be a good way togive back to my country.”Pyers said he was sold on joining
the Army to help pay for college, andhe saw how much opportunity themilitary had to offer.“It teaches you responsibility and
teaches you how to deal with stress,”Pyers said.Having an opportunity to travel
around the world was another perkPyers said he is excited to explore.“I’m learning Portuguese and hope
I get to go to Brazil for spring break— that’d be pretty cool,” he said.Pyers said he hopes to study fuel
cells and biofuels next summer atthe Army Research Lab inWashington, D.C., as part of hischemical engineering studies andeventually enter the engineering oraviation field. Pyers also said he hasenjoyed West Point’s tactical armycourses such as learning how torepel out of helicopters and airassault exercises.“Just because you come from a
small school or small town, you can(still) do big things,” Pyers told stu-dents. “Don’t let it limit your possi-bilities.”Pyers shared how cadets are
dressed by 5:30 a.m. and need toleave plenty of time to “make surethe uniform looks good.” at the din-ing hall by 6 a.m. and spend all dayin class — much like a traditionalcollege.Pyers said West Point’s small
classes work “backwards” from tra-ditional classes. Students must readand know the material before class
Black Friday creeps into ThursdayNEW YORK (AP) — The
nation’s shoppers on Thursday putdown the turkey to take advantageof Thanksgiving deals.Stores typically open in the wee
hours of the morning on the dayafter Thanksgiving that’s namedBlack Friday because that’s whenstores traditionally turn a profitfor the year. But Black Fridayopenings have crept earlier andearlier over the past few years.Now, stores from Target to Toys RUs are opening their doors onThanksgiving evening, hopingAmericans will be willing to shopsoon after they finish their pump-kin pie.Target Corp. is opening its
doors at 9 p.m. on the holiday,three hours earlier than last year.
Sears, which didn’t open onThanksgiving last year, is openingat 8 p.m. on Thursday through 10p.m. on Black Friday. Toys R Uswill be opening at 8 p.m., an hourearlier than last year. And otherssuch as Macy’s Inc. are opening atmidnight on Black Friday.Retailers are hoping that the
Thanksgiving openings will drawshoppers who prefer to head tostores after their turkey dinnerrather than braving the crowdsearly the next morning. Overall,about 17 percent of shoppers planto take advantage of Thanksgivinghours, according to a InternationalCouncil of Shopping Centers-Goldman Sachs survey of 1,000consumers.Michael Prothero, 19, and
Kenny Fullenlove, 20, even werewilling to miss Thanksgiving din-ner altogether for deals. Theystarted camping out on Mondaynight outside a Best Buy store inToledo, Ohio, which was slated toopen at midnight. The friends, whowere waiting to get 40-inch televi-sions, videogames and a tabletcomputer, came early to make surethey got the deals advertised byBest Buy, even though the nextperson in line didn’t arrive untilalmost 24 hours later.“Better safe than sorry,”
Prothero said.The Thanksgiving hours are an
effort by stores to make shoppingmore convenient for Americans,

Hamascriesvictory;truceholdsGAZA CITY, Gaza Strip
(AP) — Hamas leaders andthousands of flag-wavingsupporters declared victoryover Israel on Gaza’s firstday of calm under anEgyptian-brokered truceThursday, as Israeli offi-cials flew to Cairo for talkson easing a blockade on thebattered Palestinian terri-tory.Eight days of punishing
Israeli airstrikes on Gazaand a barrage of Hamasrocket fire on Israel endedinconclusively.While Israelsaid it inflicted heavy dam-age on the militants,Gaza’s Hamas rulersclaimed that Israel’s deci-sion not to send in groundtroops, as it had four yearsago, was a sign of a newdeterrent power.“Resistance fighters
changed the rules of thegame with the occupation(Israel), upset its calcula-tions,” Gaza PrimeMinister Ismail Haniyeh ofHamas, who attended therally, said later in a tele-vised speech. “The option ofinvading Gaza after thisvictory is gone and willnever return.”At the same time,
Haniyeh urged Gaza fight-ers to respect the truce andto “guard this deal as longas Israel respects it.”The mood in Israel was
mixed. Some were gratefulthat quiet had beenrestored without a groundoperation that could havecost the lives of more sol-diers. Others particularlythose in southern Israel hitby rockets over the past 13years thought the opera-tion was abandoned tooquickly.Thousands of Israeli sol-
diers who had been sent tothe border during thefighting withdrewThursday, the militarysaid.Israeli Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu saidthe offensive’s aims of halt-ing Gaza rocket fire andweakening Hamas wereachieved. “I know there arecitizens who were expect-ing a harsher response,” hesaid, adding that Israel isprepared to act if thecease-fire is violated.
• See TRUCE on Page 2• See CADET on Page 2
In a development thatcould complicate coopera-tion on the cease-fire, Israelon Thursday arrested anArab-Israeli man connectedto Hamas and Islamic Jihadon accusations he planted abomb on a bus in Tel Avivthat wounded 27 people inthe hours before the agree-ment was announcedWednesday, police said.A Palestinian militant
cell based in the West Bankvillage of Beit Lakiya dis-patched the man, who livedin the village of Taybeh inIsrael, to put a bomb on thebus, police spokesmanMicky Rosenfeld said. Hethen got off and called hishandlers, who remotely det-onated the explosive by call-ing the phone, Rosenfeldsaid.“He admitted to carrying
out the terrorist attack,”said Rosenfeld, whodeclined to name the man.Attacks by Israeli Arabs
are rare, though they have
happened in the past.Nevertheless, the cease-
fire raised hopes of a newera between Israel andHamas.A senior Israeli official
and three aides arrived inCairo late Thursday andwere escorted to Egypt’sintelligence headquarters,according to Egyptian air-port officials, presumably tohammer out the details of adeal that would include eas-ing a blockade of the territo-ry.The airport officials
declined to be namedbecause they were notauthorized to give informa-tion to the media.However, the vague lan-
guage of the agreementannounced Wednesday anddeep hostility between thecombatants made it farfrom certain the bloodshedwould end or that eitherside will get everything itwants. Israel seeks an endto weapons smuggling intoGaza, while Hamas wants acomplete lifting of the bor-
der blockade imposed in2007, after the militantgroup’s takeover of Gaza.Israeli officials also made
it clear that their positionhad not warmed towardHamas, which they view asa terror group aligned withtheir archenemy Iran andpledged to the destruction ofthe Jewish state.“Without a doubt, Israel
in the long run won’t be ableto live with an Iranianproxy on its border,” IsraeliForeign Minister AvigdorLieberman told Israel’sChannel 10. “As long asHamas continues to inciteagainst Israel and talkabout destroying Israel theyare not a neighbor that wecan suffer in the long run.But everything in its time.”Israel launched the
offensive Nov. 14 to haltrenewed rocket fire fromGaza, unleashing some1,500 airstrikes on Hamas-linked targets, while Hamasand other Gaza militantsshowered Israel with just asmany rockets.The eight days of fight-
ing killed 161 Palestinians,including 71 civilians. SixIsraelis, two soldiers andfour civilians, were killedand dozens others woundedby rockets fired into resi-dential neighborhoods.Gazans celebrated the
truce after a night of revel-ry.“Today is different, the
morning coffee tastes differ-ent and I feel we are off to anew start,” said AshrafDiaa, a 38-year-old engineerfrom Gaza City.Hundreds of masked
Hamas fighters appeared inpublic for the first timesince the offensive during afuneral for five of their com-rades. The armed men dis-played grenade launchersand assault rifles mountedatop more than 100 brand-new pickup trucks.The latest round of fight-
ing brought the Islamistsunprecedented politicalrecognition, with foreignministers from Turkey andseveral Arab states visitinga sharp contrast to Hamas’past isolation.Israel and the United
States, even while formallysticking to a policy of shun-ning Hamas, also acknowl-edged its central role byengaging in indirect negoti-ations with them.

who still face economic uncertain-ty. Many shoppers are worriedabout high unemployment and apackage of tax increases andspending cuts known as the “fiscalcliff ” that will take effect inJanuary unless Congress passes abudget deal by then. At the sametime, Americans have grown morecomfortable shopping on websitessuch as Amazon.com, where theycan get cheaper prices and buyfrom the comfort of their home oroffice cubicle.That has put pressure on brick-
and-mortar stores, which canmake up to 40 percent of theirannual revenue during the two-month holiday shopping season, tocompete. That’s becoming moredifficult: the National RetailFederation, an industry tradegroup, estimates that overall salesin November and December willrise 4.1 percent this year to $586.1billion, or about flat with lastyear’s growth. But the online partof that is expected to rise 15 per-cent to $68.4 billion, according toForrester Research.As a result, brick-and-mortar
retailers are trying everythingthey can to lure consumers intostores by making shopping as easyas possible. In addition to expand-ing their hours into Thanksgiving,many are offering free layaways
and shipping,matching the cheap-er prices of online rivals andupdating their mobile shoppingapps with more information.“Every retailer wants to beat
everyone else,” said C. BrittBeemer, chairman of America’sResearch Group, a research firmbased in Charleston, S.C.“Shoppers love it.”Indeed, there were 11 shoppers
in a four-tent encampment out-side a Best Buy store near AnnArbor, Mich. The purpose of theirwait? A $179 40-inch Toshiba LCDtelevision is worth missingThanksgiving dinner at home.Jackie Berg, 26, of Ann Arbor,
arrived first with her stepson and afriend Wednesday afternoon, seek-ing three of the televisions. Thedeal makes the TVs $240 less thantheir normal price, so Berg saysthat she’ll save more than $700.It’s her first time camping out
for the specials, and she’s not sureshe will do it again. Relatives willbring her some holiday dinner, butshe’ll miss eating her dad’s stuffingright as he cooks it.“We’ll miss the actual being
there with family, but we’ll havethe rest of the weekend for that,”she said.While shoppers took advantage
of the Thanksgiving deals, someworkers were expected to protestthe Turkey Day hours.In fact, a New York-based
union-backed group of retail work-ers called Retail Action Project isplanning protests in theManhattan borough of New YorkCity on Thanksgiving in front ofseveral stores, includingAnnTaylor, Forever 21 and othersthat are opening at midnight onBlack Friday and earlier.“It shows that the companies
are not valuing their workers.They’re looking to their workers tosqueeze out more profits,” saidCarrie Gleason, director of RetailAction Project.Wal-Mart, the world’s largest
retailer, has been one of thebiggest targets of protests againstholiday hours. Many of the compa-ny’s stores are open 24 hours, butthe company is offering early birdspecials that once were reservedfor Black Friday at 8 p.m. onThanksgiving instead.The issue is part of a broader
campaign against the company’streatment of workers that’s beingwaged by a union-backed groupcalled OUR Walmart, whichincludes former and current work-ers. The group is staging demon-strations and walkouts at hun-dreds of stores on Black Friday.Mary Pat Tifft, a Wal-Mart
employee in Kenosha, Wis., who isa member of OURWalmart, start-ed an online petition on signon.orgthat has about 34,000 signatures.“This Thanksgiving, while millions
of families plan to spend qualitytime with their loved ones, Wal-Mart associates have been told wewill be stocking shelves andpreparing sales starting at 8 p.m.,”she wrote on the site.But retailers say they are giv-
ing shoppers what they want.Dave Tovar, a Wal-Martspokesman, said that the dis-counter learned from shoppersthat they want to start shoppingright after Thanksgiving dinner.Then, they want to have time to goto bed before they wake up to headback out to the stores.Still, Tovar said that Wal-Mart
works to accommodate its workers’requests for different workinghours. “We spent a lot of time talk-ing to them, trying to figure outwhen would be the best time forour events,” he said.Kathee Tesija, Target’s execu-
tive vice president of merchandis-ing, said Target’s 9 p.m. openingstruck “a perfect balance” for itscustomers. When asked whetherit’s faced any criticism fromTargetemployees, she noted that thechain also works with workers toaccommodate their needs. But,ultimately the company serves thecustomer.“We thought long and hard
about when the right openingtime would be,” she said, addingthat Target “wants to make surewe are competitive.”

and come prepared,” Pyerssaid. “You don’t get taught.You are supposed to askquestions first, and if youdon’t know your stuff – it’sbad.”Pyers also explained
how all cadets must partic-ipate in a physical activityor club.“You must join a team
at West Point. Believe it ornot, not all West Pointcadets are coordinated,”said Pyers, who partici-pates in mixed martialteam.Pyers explained how he
still is a “Viking” — thename of the company hebelongs to at West Point —and shared a few traditionsthe military enjoys, espe-cially the passes to attendthe Army versus Navy foot-ball game each year.“The opportunities at
West Point are endless.There’s a lot of cool stuffyou get to do and we havespirit dinners and are partof clubs. It’s something ifyou are interested in, youshouldn’t be afraid to pur-sue,” Pyers said.Just don’t expect it to be

QUARTERBACKSDid Wisconsin provide future Ohio State opponents with
a blueprint of how to defend Braxton Miller? The Badgers held OSU’s sophomore QB to season lows in rushing (48 yards) and passing (97 yards). Miller was frustrated and Ohio State’s play calling was conservative.
A recent nerve injury in Denard Robinson’s throwing arm has scrambled Michigan’s quarterback situation, but so far it has been in a good way. His replacement Devin Gardner has completed 65 percent of his passes for 834 yards and 7 touchdowns in his three starts. Robinson returned in 42-17 win over Iowa last Saturday, but at tailback. How Brady Hoke will use his two QBs is one of the big questions this week.
Advantage: Ohio State
RUNNING BACKSCarlos Hyde said after OSU’s 21-14 overtime win over Wis-
consin that he wanted the ball more than he got it (15 times for 87 yards). Expect him to get his wish this week.
Michigan lost its leading rusher Fitz Toussaint (514 yards) to a gruesomely broken leg against Iowa and turned to Rob-inson to fill the hole at tailback. He rushed for 98 yards on
13 carries, including a 40-yard run. Thomas Rawls (240 yards) also could have an increased role.
Advantage: Ohio State
RECEIVERSCorey Brown (52 catches, 574 yards) said after the
Wisconsin game that OSU’s receivers did a good job of getting open. If so, Miller must not have done a good job of seeing them. Finding a “vertical threat,” a receiver who can go deep, is something Ohio State is still in need of, coach Urban Meyer says.
Michigan’s receivers appear to have been energized since Gardner became the starter. Jeremy Gallon (34 catches, 617 yards) has been the most consistent pass catcher. Roy Roundtree (25 catches, 461 yards) has more receptions in three games with Gardner at QB than he did in eight with Robinson.
Advantage: Michigan
OFFENSIVE LINEOhio State’s line struggled against Wisconsin after back-to-back productive
games against Illinois and Penn State. Right tackle Reid Fragel, who was not projected as a starter coming out of spring practice, has played as well as anyone on the line.
Michigan tackle Taylor Lewan has been called a high first-round draft choice by Mel Kiper Jr. The other tackle Michael Schofield has also been consistent, but the middle of the Wolverines’ line has struggled at times.
Advantage: Even
DEFENSIVE LINEEnd John Simon leads the Big Ten in sacks with nine
after getting four against Wisconsin. If NFL scouts saw tackle Johnathan Hankins’ victory sprint toward midfield after last week’s overtime win, they might have to upgrade their estimates of his speed.
For Michigan, the standout is end Craig Roh (4 sacks) has started 49 con-secutive games.
Advantage: Ohio State
LINEBACKERSRyan Shazier has become one of the best defensive play-
ers in the Big Ten. Zach Boren plays linebacker better after half a season than some people who have played there for their entire careers. Etienne Sabino was solid in his return from a broken bone in his leg last week.
Michigan’s Jake Ryan (75 tackles, 13 for losses) and Kenny Demens (72 tackles) lead Michigan’s linebackers.
Advantage: Ohio State
DEFENSIVE BACKS Eleven games into the season, Ohio State’s defensive backfield is still a
question mark. Just when it appears headed in the right direction, it breaks down. But then it comes up with a big play, like Christian Bryan’s break-up to end the Wisconsin game.
Former walk-on Jordan Kovacs has started 44 games for Michigan. Corner-back Raymon Taylor and safety Thomas Gordan have two interceptions each.
Advantage: Ohio State
SPECIAL TEAMSOSU kicker Drew Basil has attempted only six field
goals and made four of them. Punter Ben Buchanan is seventh in the Big Ten with a 40.9 average. Michigan field goal kicker Brendan Gibbons (14 of 16 on field goals) and punter Will Hagerup (44.7 yards per punt) lead the Big Ten.
Advantage: Michigan
COLUMBUS — Here comes tradition. There goes tradition.
There is nothing more tradi-tional in the Big Ten than the Ohio State-Michigan football rivalry.
But on Monday, on the same day the annual week-long assurances from both sides of that rivalry that there is nothing in all of sports like it began, the Big Ten did some-thing very untraditional when it accepted Maryland into the conference, followed by Rut-gers on Tuesday.
Ohio State and Michigan still have the rivalry. Woody and Bo and Archie still need only one name to be identified. The Big House is still big. The Horseshoe means football, not horse racing, at Ohio State.
But it was a little jarring for some people to be reminded that money, not tradition, is driving the car in college sports – especially in its big money maker, football .
Tradition, loyalty, geography and money have made the Big Ten what it is today. It’s just that there’s more money — lots more — involved now than there was when Woody and Bo and all those OSU and Michigan legends were creat-ing the revered traditions.
Never say never. But it prob-ably is safe to say there will never be a day when Ohio State and Michigan wouldn’t play each other in football.
But the way tradition has been treated like dirty laun-dry in league realignments in college sports in the last few years, who can say that every-thing else isn’t on the table for the right price?
If the next time the Big Ten negotiates a television contract, one of the networks offers to pay millions of dol-lars more if the OSU-Michigan game is played at night in mid-October, would the Big Ten say it would rather have tradi-tion than those millions?
Before you answer, just ask yourself how traditional a rival is Maryland for any other Big Ten school.
And remember Nebraska is now in the same conference with Rutgers, which is far-ther from Lincoln, Neb., than Winnipeg, Moose Jaw and Toronto.

To the Editor:My name is Austin Garrison
and I am a junior at MiamiEast High School. I am writ-ing to inform our communitythat we, as a student body, willbe privileged to welcome backthe national school violenceawareness program, Rachel’sChallenge.Rachel’s challenge is an
anti-bullying program thatlaunched from the life andmemory of Rachel Joy Scott,the first young lady killed atthe 1999 Columbine HighSchool shooting. Rachel’s mes-sage was one of kindness andpeace for all. Now, her familyand friends carry on her lega-cy through the program,Rachel’s Challenge.The first time the Rachel’s
Challenge visited our school, I
was in the eighth grade. Iremember seeing the presenta-tion and not being able to keepmy mind off its message allweek. The personal stories andlessons the program had tooffer us, as students, wereamazing. They definitely ful-filled their intended purpose,as I remember my friends andme discussing how we learnedso much from the program.It is not just a school assem-
bly, nor just a reason to get outof class; it is an importantmessage that must be relayedto those students, such asmyself, that saw it a few yearsago, but also to those studentswho will be hearing it for thefirst time. As time passes, itbecomes more and more cru-cial that we learn as a societythat kindness and peace can
cause “chain reaction.”It is exciting to be able to
invite the entire communityout to the Miami East JuniorHigh/Elementary building onWednesday, Nov. 28 at 7 p.m.to hear this important mes-sage.We would like to thank the
Troy Foundation and MiamiCounty Foundation for provid-ing us with the grant moneyneeded to make sure ourschool and community get tobe a part of this importantexperience.We hope to see our commu-
nity come together to learnmore about Rachel, and alsoabout how kindness canchange our world.
Thank you!— Austin Garrison

Chicago Sun-Times on taxing the rich:If the United States were a healthy meritocracy, where talent
and hard work pretty much determined how far we go in life,fair-minded people wouldn’t be demanding that rich people paymore in taxes.The general feeling would be that the race is fair and the
wealthy have earned all they’ve got. The rest of us just have towork harder and smarter.But by no honest reckoning is the U.S. the “land of opportuni-
ty” it once was, and the race looks less fair every day. Advantagesand opportunities are skewed to the few against the many, as ismade evident by a breathtaking concentration of the nation’swealth and income in a very few hands.President Barack Obama’s insistence that the wealthy pay
more in taxes, which Congress must grapple with as they beginnew budget talks, is hardly redistributive socialism, but neitheris it just about balancing a budget.Obama’s insistence that the rich pay more is an essential step
toward restoring the rewards of merit, thefirst precondition of a functioning free enter-prise system.It is a matter of ensuring that Americans at
the bottom and in the middle get a fair shot,even if Daddy was an ex-con, not an ex-gover-nor, beginning with a good education, ade-quate nutrition and health care.Opposition to a tax increase on the wealthy,
through either a rate increase or closing loop-holes, flows from the curious notion that — wehear it all the time — Americans at the verytop earned every dime they’ve got.It is a self-serving view, best represented by
Gov. Mitt Romney’s boast on the campaigntrail that he built his business, Bain Capital,“from scratch.”As if Romney had not been born into an
enormously wealthy and connected family,gone to the best schools money could buy andtapped his father’s friends for millions ininvestment funds. It would be more remark-able, frankly, if Romney had not done well.Allow us to say it again: Increasing taxes on
the wealthy is not a matter of soaking therich, but of promoting a more vital linkbetween merit and reward. …
The Jerusalem Post on Israeli defensepolicy:Gaza-based terrorists believed to be from Islamic Jihad trig-
gered the latest round of escalation in the South. They fired ananti-tank missile at an IDF jeep conducting a routine patrol onthe Israeli side of the border with Gaza Strip near KibbutzNahal Oz. …This is not the first time terrorists in Hamas-controlled Gaza
have launched attacks purposely targeting Israeli civilians. …However, the latest round of escalation has convinced many —
including senior members of the present government and themilitary establishment — that Israel must restore deterrence byratcheting up its response to Palestinian belligerence. …World opinion might be stacked against Israel, but we must
not give up hope.Those in the international community with a modicum of
intellectual honesty will acknowledge that if the Palestinians liv-ing in Gaza were to abandon violence and reconcile themselves toIsrael’s existence, then the conflict would end immediately.

Luckily I didn’t have to travelfar this year for Thanksgiving fes-tivities. I just fired up the four-wheeler, crossed over the bridgeand through the fields and to mymother’s house.My twin sister from the sub-
urbs joined us for the weekend.She brings class and a touch ofsophistication to my life when shevisits. Gearing up for the tradi-tional (or in our family’s case, non-traditional) dinner, I made her runto the grocery with me.Now I’ve shared how picky of
an eater my son’s nutrition habitsare over the years. The only fruithe’ll eat is applesauce and maybea banana on a good day. So, in allhonesty, we stick to what weknow: nuggets, macaroni andcheese, pizza and more pizza. Wedon’t get too adventurous aroundhere and cooking for one and ahalf isn’t easy when you’re the onestuck with the leftovers.So I roped my sister into going
to the grocery with me to helpbroaden my horizons in the culi-nary world. Aisle after aisle, shewitnessed the destruction of myhealth via grocery cart. Pop Tartscount as whole grains in myworld, but not in my sister’s regis-tered nurse world.
“You know, turkey bacon tastesjust as good as regular bacon,” shelectured as I grabbed a slab ofbeautiful marbled pork.In my bacon bible, bacon
shouldn’t have had wings. I’msorry. It just isn’t politically cor-rect. So I won that battle.She threw a few things in my
cart that her and her healthy fam-ily enjoys like fancy yogurt, a newcheese that I am both excited andscared to try, and a few things I’veonly read about in magazines.Quinoa. She tried to tell me it’slike rice.I did have to draw the line on
trying Chia seeds or pellets orwhatever you want to call it. I wasnot going to eat the stuff used togrow a Chia Pet. Whatever makesthe “Ch…chi..chi..chia! The pottery
that grows!” was not on my list.Pottery isn’t supposed to grow.Wecall that mold ‘round here. So any-thing thing that sprouts a grass-like substance and can be used forenvironmental entertainment isnot going anywhere near mykitchen. But I let her toss a con-tainer of quinoa (key-no-whah) inthe cart and vowed I’d try thestuff. I also threw a few packs ofinstant rice just in case this stuffdoesn’t measure up.Now I’m not much of a cook but
my sister was excited to bring anew dish to our Thanksgivingtable. Your first clue is that it’snamed after a country in Europe.Unfortunately it was not Polishsausage. We scoured the produceaisle for Brussels sprouts folks.Seriously. Before I could protestmy twin sister quickly shared thatthe Brussels sprouts are bestsautéed with butter and bacon.The magic words were: bacon andbutter. OK. Maybe we are gettingsomewhere. If there is butter andbacon involved, I believe a stick ofmud would taste great.So I gave it the old college try.
Bacon is the new hero in the meatworld. When there’s baconinvolved, it can’t be bad.Our family forgoes the tradi-
tional turkey and instead we wentwith a spiral ham. Sure it mayhave not looked like a traditionalThanksgiving dinner, but we hadthe hunk of carved meat as a cen-terpiece, which I believe is a feder-al requirement.At our family’s Thanksgiving
table, we all tried the bacon andbuttered sprouts. I happened toshare my dad’s sentiment that wewouldn’t miss if it didn’t show upnext year. Butter and bacon do notmake everything better. I waswrong. It won’t happen again.Amen.And my contribution to the din-
ner table? Hey, that paprika didn’tget on all those deviled eggs byitself!This year I’m thankful for the
traditional things in life like fami-ly, friends and a warm home. I’mthankful for my job, the healthand happiness of my son and tolive in a nation where we havefreedom of speech, religion andour military who serve us to pro-tect those rights.I’m also thankful for butter and
bacon, but not Brussels sprouts.

APA March 12, 2011, photo shows sunken and damaged boats in the boat basin at Crescent City, Calif., after a pow-erful tsunami sent repeated surges that broke up docks and tore loose boats.
California city building a‘tsunami-resistant’ portCRESCENT CITY, Calif. (AP) —
It doesn’t matter if the earth swaysin Chile, Alaska or Japan, the forma-tion of the sea floor along the U.S.West Coast generally aims anytsunami surges at the tinyCalifornia port town of CrescentCity. Churning water rushes into theboat basin and then rushes out, lift-ing docks off their pilings, tearingboats loose and leaving the city’smain economic engine looking as if ithas been bombed.That’s what happened in March
2011, when a Japanese earthquakesparked a tsunami that sank 11boats, damaged 47 others anddestroyed two-thirds of the harbor’sdocks.Port officials are hoping that
tsunami is among the last of manythat have forced major repairs inCrescent City, a tiny commercialfishing village on California’s ruggednorthern coast. Officials are spend-ing $54 million to build the WestCoast’s first harbor able to with-stand the kind of tsunami expectedto hit once every 50 years the samekind that hit in 2011, when the high-est surge in the boat basin measured8.1 feet and currents were estimatedat 22 feet per second.Officials are building 244 new
steel pilings that will be 30 inches indiameter and 70 feet long. Thirtyfeet or more will be sunk intobedrock. The dock nearest theentrance will be 16 feet long and 8feet deep to dampen incoming waves.The pilings will extend 18 feet abovethe water so that surges 7 feet up
and 7 feet down will not rip docksloose.Crescent City was not the only
West Coast port slammed by thetsunami, which was generated by amagnitude-9.0 earthquake in Japan.The waves ripped apart docks andsank boats in Santa Cruz, Calif., anddid similar damage in Brookings,Ore., just north of Crescent City. Buttheir geographical location doesn’tmake them as vulnerable to multipletsunamis.“Normally, Crescent City takes
the hit for all of us,” said Brookingsharbormaster Ted Fitzgerald.Since a tidal gauge was installed
in the boat basin in 1934, this smallport has been hit by 34 tsunamis,large and small. It typically suffersthe most damage and the highestwaves on the West Coast, said LoriDengler, professor of geology atHumboldt State University.The sea floor funnels surges into
the mouth of Crescent City’s harbor,and the harbor’s configuration mag-nifies them, experts say.A wave generated by an earth-
quake in Alaska on Good Friday,1964, killed 11 people and wiped out29 city blocks. That was 10 yearsbefore the boat basin was even built.When the waves hit in 2011, the
port was still repairing damagesfrom a tsunami that hit in 2006.Officials already had a plan for deal-ing with future tsunamis, said WardStover, owner of Stover Engineeringin Crescent City, which put togetherthe plan.With no tsunami building codes,
Stover said the state of Californiaand Crescent City decided to pre-pare for the kind of tsunami expect-ed to hit every 50 years. They reject-ed as too expensive building a tidalgate to close off the mouth of the har-bor or trying to survive a powerfultsunami like the one that hit in1964. Instead, they planned to makethe docks strong enough to ride outthe most likely surges.“It’s tsunami-resistant, not tsuna-
mi-proof,” Stover said.Construction has been marked by
one delay after another. Governmentfunding was slow, and a custom-builtdrill bit for installing the extra-strength pilings deep in bedrockbroke. So authorities switched toinstalling temporary docks the old-fashioned way, by pounding in thepilings, to get them through the win-ter. Many of the 60 commercial fish-ing boats based in Crescent City arestill mooring in the outer harbor.Others have to make do withoutwater or electricity.The March 2011 tsunami was a
wake-up call for communities up anddown the West Coast. Manyimproved tsunami evacuation plansand held mock evacuations.But some experts say the West
Coast is still not taking the threatseriously enough.“Many ports on the West Coast
are in denial as to their tsunamihazard,” said Costas Synolakis, pro-fessor of civil and environmentalengineering and director of theTsunami Research Center at theUniversity of Southern California.
MORGANTOWN, W.Va.(AP) — For people behindbars in six Appalachianstates, they are one of thefew forms of escape hun-dreds of used books, wrappedin brown paper and stackedthigh-high under a table,just waiting to be shipped.Parenting and self-help
books. History and law.Dictionaries, biographiesand fiction. Whatever thesubject, volunteers with theAppalachian Prison BookProject believe they hold thepower to unlock worlds.From a small room in a
historic house next to theMorgantown Public Library,they meticulously organizerequests, exchanging lettersto find just the right readand get permission fromprison administrators whilesimultaneously scramblingto raise money for shipping.The process takes
months, and the restrictionsare many: Spiral-boundbooks are banned, theirspines seen as potentialweapons. Hardcovers arediscouraged. Some institu-tions refuse books altogeth-er, often with no explana-
tion.“You would think it’s not
that big a deal. We’re justsending out used books, freeof charge, to people inprison,” says DominiqueBruno, a doctoral student atWest Virginia Universitywho serves as outreach coor-dinator. “But it is as hard toget something into a prisonas it is to get out of one.”For six years they have
kept at it, shipping the11,000th book last month.
They’ve since sent dozensmore to state and federalprisons across West Virginia,Virginia, Maryland, Ohio,Kentucky and Tennessee.Other states have had
prison book programs fordecades, from California toIllinois and Texas toMassachusetts. Penn-sylvania alone has at leastsix.But until professor Katy
Ryan taught a course onprison literature in 2004,
West Virginia and the otherfive states had none. She andher graduate students dis-cussed the need, spent twoyears raising money and col-lecting books, then startedtaking requests. The booksare all privately donated,many by students and pro-fessors in WVU’s Englishdepartment and some byothers in the community.Occasionally, an author orpublisher will send a box ofnew books, too.The volunteers shipped
the first book, “NaturalRemedies,” to the TrumbullCorrectional Institution inLeavittsburg, Ohio, in 2006.The second went to theMount Olive CorrectionalComplex in southern WestVirginia.Warden David Ballard
says the program keeps hisprisoners occupied withmaterial from a trustworthysource.“It was a free resource the
inmates could use, and mostof the books are educationalor religious in nature, so thatwas a plus,” Ballard says.“There was no reason for uswhy we should stop it.”
Appalachian book project helps inmates in 6 states
APUsed books fill every available space in the office ofthe Appalachian Prison Book Project in Morgantown,W.Va., on Nov. 13, as outreach coordinator DominiqueBruno looks at unopened requests.

Small Business Saturdayhas caught on in recentyears and last year morethan 100 million peopletook part in the nationwideevent.Small Business

Started in 2010, thisyear marks the secondannual event.“Small Business
Saturday is a day foreveryone — from the busi-ness owners who createjobs to the customers whobuy locally — to supportsmall businesses thatinvigorate the economyand keep communitiesthriving,” according to theAmerican Express web-site.“It began in 2010 when
American Express found-ed Small BusinessSaturday to help smallbusinesses get more expo-sure during one of thebiggest shopping week-ends of the year. Last year,more than 100 millionpeople came out to shop atindependently ownedsmall businesses on theday. Now, in its third year,Small Business Saturdaywill be even bigger.American Express is offer-ing free and easy-to-usetools to help small busi-nesses get the most out ofthe day and tools for con-

NEWYORK (AP) — Oneof the most painful momentssmall business owners canface is when they realize: It’snot working.It could be a product
that’s not succeeding, busi-ness that’s taken away by acompetitor, or changes in theeconomy that threaten acompany’s survival.When something has
gone awry and sales are tak-ing a hit, company ownershave to make big changes toturn things around and theyusually can’t afford to wastetime. Large companies oftenhave enough revenue com-ing in from a variety of prod-ucts and services that theycan weather a problem inone area of their business.Smaller companies typicallydon’t have that cushion.Reinventing a company,
large or small, is not an easytask and it can’t be doneovernight, but many busi-ness owners have been ableto pull it off.
ALMOST SOCKED BYOVERSEAS COMPETI-TIONCabot Hosiery Mills had
great success its first 20years, making what arecalled private label socks forretailing chains. It onlymade socks that carried thenames of the stores that soldthem such as J.C. Penneyand Gap.But in 2000, sales began
falling as stores began buy-ing cheaper socks fromChinese vendors, says RicCabot, co-owner and son ofthe company’s founder.“We weren’t paying as
close attention to our finan-cial indicators as we shouldhave,” he says.By 2003, sales were down
by more than half. Cabotwas forced to cut his staff of70 down to 30.“We needed to create a
product that would basicallysave us,” he says.Cabot didn’t have to look
far to find a market nichehis company could fill. Anavid hiker who is also activein several sports, he had ahard time finding high-qual-ity socks for those activities.And he knew how to makesocks that were comfortableand durable.
So Cabot combined sur-vival, know-how and person-al interest and Darn ToughVermont, a line of socks foroutdoor activities and sportswas born.Well, it wasn’t that sim-
ple. There were some thingsabout socks that he didn’tknow, like how to make onesthat appeal to style-con-scious hikers, skiers andrunners. So he had to hiresomeone who did.It took about two years
for the socks to hit the mar-ket. Now they can be foundin many stores that sell out-door gear. The brand hasbeen successful enough thatthe company has grown to150 workers and annualsales have quadrupled fromthe low they hit in 2003.Cabot still has a small pri-vate-label operation.Cabot says he has
learned a lot from the expe-rience.“Almost going out of busi-
ness, if you leverage it prop-erly, is one of the best expe-riences to emerge frombecause you see the mis-takes, the warning signs alot sooner,” he says. “You tryto take a longer-term view ofthe business not just what Ineed to do today, but whatwill ensure the best tomor-row?”
A DRINK COMPANYGETS FOCUSEDArnulfo Ventura and his
business partner, JoseDomene, decided while get-ting their MBAs at StanfordUniversity to start sellingaguas frescas, beveragesmade from plants liketamarind and hibiscus, thatare popular in Mexico. Thepartners called the drinkBonadea and ordered thefirst batch of 3,000 bottlesfrom a manufacturer by thetime they graduated in June2008. They found severalcustomers: Six delis and nat-ural food stores in the PaloAlto, Calif., area.Over the next year, the
duo attracted enough moneyfrom investors to increaseproduction, working theirway up to a run of 15,000bottles. They got a distribu-tion company in the LosAngeles area and Bonadeawas in hundreds of conven-
ience and small grocerystores. Things seemed to begoing well.But Bonadea, priced
between $2.49 and $2.69 abottle, didn’t sell as well ashoped. Sales were up byhundreds of percentagepoints from the first batch,but Ventura expected anincrease in the thousandsby then.“We just weren’t getting
serious attention. The brandwasn’t moving off the shelf,”he says. “I wasn’t sure if itwas the price point or themarketing.”In January 2010,
Ventura and Domeneshowed Bonadea to focusgroups. Based on the feed-back, the partners realizedthey had to change the waythe beverage was packagedand marketed. One problemwas its name, which had noreal meaning. People didn’tconnect with it. And the 16-ounce bottle looked toomuch like the ones that con-tain Snapple, one of the top-selling iced tea and juicedrink brands in the country.Over the next nine
months, they consideredmany names and labeldesigns and eventuallycame up a new name, Coba,a Mayan city on theYucatan peninsula and dec-orated the labels withimages of flowers and fruit.In March 2011, they tookCoba to a trade show inAnaheim, Calif. On theshow’s last day the organiz-ers surprised the partnersby announcing that theyhad picked Coba as the bestproduct in the show. Cobaalso caught the interest ofretailers.The partners began pro-
ducing their new beveragesbut soon came anotherworry: Nestle, the world’slargest food and beveragemaker, was introducing itsown aguas frescas. Andthere was competition fromnatural soda makerHansen. Ventura hurried toWhole Foods’ headquartersin Austin, Texas with ashoulder bag filled withCoba on ice. He met with anexecutive just hours afterHansen’s representativesvisited, made his pitch andshowed his product. Thecompany decided to carrythe beverage in some of itslocations.Coba is now sold in
Whole Foods stores inFlorida and theWest. It’salso at delis, conveniencestores and restaurants,priced between $1.99 and$2.50. Sales are up fivetimes from Bonadea’s bestlevels.

Robinson, who may line upeverywhere but behind the cen-ter due to an arm injury, are thespeedsters who lead theWolverines’ attack. Meanwhilethe Buckeyes rely on BraxtonMiller, who likes to make tack-lers grab handfuls of air whenhe’s not completing long passes.Stopping, or at least slowing
down, the trio will be the mainobjective for both teams.Good luck with that.Gardner provided six touch-
downs, three running and threepassing, in Michigan’s landslide
win over Iowa in The Big Houselast week. Robinson, with 41touchdowns and 4,273 rushingyards in his career, dabbled attailback and wide receiver whilepicking up 98 yards on 13 car-ries.Ohio State is in a quandary,
having to figure out just howMichigan offensive coordinatorAl Borges will utilize the two.Even he doesn’t seem to know.“You don’t know nobody
knows until the lights go on,”Borges said.So the Buckeyes must pre-
pare for a little bit of every-thing.“I just know something’s
coming,” Buckeyes head coachUrban Meyer said of the possi-ble sleight of hand. “You justknow something’s coming.”Michigan coach Brady Hoke
has been tight-lipped about hisplans this week. Gardner is thereigning Big Ten player of theweek on offense, but Hoke has-n’t ruled out Robinson famousfor his lengthy streaks to thegoal line as much as for nottying his shoelaces under cen-ter.The Wolverines refused to
even hint at what they mightdo.“I never caught a pass in a
game before,” Robinson saidinnocently.During closed practices this
week he wore a padded com-pression sleeve on his rightelbow, which suffered nervedamage from a hit earlier thisseason.Asked if he can throw, he
grinned and said, “You’ll see on

Texans top Lions in OTDETROIT (AP) — Jim Schwartz
threw a challenge flag when he did-n’t need to and the Houston Texansmade him regret it.Shayne Graham’s 32-yard field
goal with 2:21 left in overtime liftedHouston to a 34-31 win over theDetroit Lions on Thursday aftertheir coach broke an NFL rule byattempting to challenge a scoringplay.“Obviously that’s a big break in
the game for us,” Houston coachGary Kubiak said. “But I think youmake your breaks when you workyour tail off.”Detroit kicker Jason Hanson had
a chance to get Schwartz off thehook, but his 47-yard field goalattempt on the fifth possession ofthe extra period hit the rightupright.Lions defensive end Kyle Vanden
Bosch did, too, on the previous pos-
session when he couldn’t intercept apass Matt Schaub threw directly athim deep in Houston territory.Detroit might’ve won in regula-
tion if its coach didn’t make a costlymistake.Schwartz threw a challenge flag
when Houston’s Justin Forsettscored on an 81-yard touchdown runin the third quarter after two Lionstackled him.“Give him credit for continuing to
play football,” Kubiak said. “We talkabout that all the time. You don’tstop, you play.”Replays showed Forsett’s left

BuckeyesSaturday.”Despite the respect they
have for Gardner, OhioState’s defense knows itcan’t ignore Robinson.“I know about Denard
here and there just fromBig Ten media day, and heis a good guy,” said line-backer Etienne Sabino,himself just back from aninjury. “But on the field, wearen’t friends.”Gardner watched the
video from the Iowa game,a 42-17 laugher, and sawthe problems the combocreated.“Not just when Denard
had the ball of course hemade big plays but whenhe didn’t have the ball wehad our even bigger plays,”he said. “Just the attentionthat he gets is amazing itjust helps us succeed.”Ohio State defensive
lineman Garrett Goebelsaid having two quarter-
backs on the field createsdouble the headaches.“It’s always hard to
even prepare for one quar-terback, (especially) whenit’s Denard,” he said. “Twoquarterbacks makes ittougher.”Gardner was recruited
by Meyer when he was thehead coach at Florida. Hewas also pursued by OhioState. Like a lot of athleteson both sides in what isalready a grudge match, he
has a sizable chip on hisshoulder.“They didn’t offer me a
scholarship,” he said of theBuckeyes. “I was prettybitter.”Only after he had com-
mitted to Michigan didOhio State make an offer.He posted a picture of him-self online burning the let-ter.Asked if he did that
with any other letters, hesaid, “Just that one.”

Toast of the townBy the Associated Press
How did Grinnell’s JackTaylor wind up with 138points in a game?Well, he did miss 56
shots, more than he made.And he didn’t play for fourminutes.Otherwise he would have
scored even more.As it was, Taylor shat-
tered the NCAA scoringrecord by 25 points Tuesdaynight in the Pioneers’ 179-104 victory over FaithBaptist Bible in Grinnell,Iowa.Taylor hoisted a mind-
boggling 108 shots, oneevery 20 seconds. Layups,fadeaways and 3-pointers(27 of those) were all work-ing in a display that had theNBA’s basketball royaltybuzzing a day later, fromKobe Bryant and KevinDurant to Carmelo Anthonyand LeBron James.“It’s like a video game,”
Anthony said. “How can youshoot 108 times?”“It’s unbelievable, honest-
ly,” James said. “There’s twogames that I would love tosee: One was Wilt, when hehad 100, and this kid, I wantto see him, too. Sir Jack.”Wilt Chamberlin’s record
of 100 points scored in 1962still stands as the NBAmark. Taylor was the thirdplayer in NCAA basketballwith at least 100 points, buthis performance was themost prolific.Taylor himself was still
trying to catch his breathWednesday.“Honestly, it’s still not
settling in. It was hard tosleep,” Taylor told TheAssociated Press afterappearing on “GoodMorningAmerica” and the “Today”show.Understandably so.
Taylor is just a 5-foot-10,170-pound sophomore fromBlack River Falls, Wis. Howdid he score more pointsthan anyone in college histo-ry?Well, he had 58 at half-
time. And then he scored 30
more in the first nine min-utes of the second half,draining seven straight 3s atone point.The Division III record
was the first to fall, asTaylorreached 91 points on a 25-footer from the left wingwith 11:14 to go. He cracked100 on a layup less thanthree minutes later, andwith 4:42 to go he drainedyet another 3 to pass theNCAA record of 113 set byRio Grande’s Bevo Francisagainst Hillsdale in 1954.In 1953, Francis had 116
against Ashland JuniorCollege but Frank Selvy isthe only other player toreach triple figures, scoring100 points for Division I
Furman against Newberryin 1954. The previousGrinnell record was 89 byGriffin Lentsch last Nov. 19against Principia.Taylor made 27 of his 71
3-point attempts and was 52of 108 overall. He had a hothand, sure, but he plays in asystem designed to rewardhigh-volume shooting.Grinnell’s goal is to shoot
within 12 seconds of gettingthe ball, something bor-rowed in part from thebreakneck system PaulWesthead installed atLoyola Marymount in the1980s. The 3 is the shot ofchoice — in fact, every play-er must shoot 100 3s everyday in practice — and the
four guys who don’t shootcrash the boards. ThePioneers also press relent-lessly on defense, hoping toforce a turnover or a quickshot so they can get back toscoring more points.The style demands fresh
legs, and the Pioneers typi-cally substitute every 60 sec-onds or so.“It’s just something com-
pletely different than youface any other time youplay,” said Brian Fincham,the coach at Faith BaptistBible, a school in nearbyAnkeny, Iowa, with fewerthan 300 students. “Ifthey’ve got a little bit of abil-ity on you, it’s tough to keepup.”

Lundqvist finallyfinds game to playNEW YORK (AP) —
Henrik Lundqvist finallyfound a game to play.It won’t be under the
bright lights of MadisonSquare Garden, or in frontof a hostile crowd inPhiladelphia trying to rattlethe man in the red, whiteand blue mask. But it willbe meaningful and reward-ing in a unique way.Like players and fans all
across North America andthe world, the New YorkRangers goalie misses theNHL. Lundqvist has runthe gamut of emotions asthe long lockout lingers. Histhirst to get back on the icewill be quenched Saturdaynight — however briefly —as he joins other hockeystars in giving back to peo-ple who were ravaged byHurricane Sandy.Lundqvist will step on
the ice in storm-damagedAtlantic City, N.J., alongwith Rangers teammatesand foes from the Flyersand other teams to lend ahelping hand to those recov-ering from the devastation.It won’t have the intensityof a regular NHL game, butit will be filled with emotionand enjoyment.“Absolutely. It’s not only
the hockey fans.Youwant topay back to people workingin the community aroundNew York and people thatgot hit by this storm,” said
Lundqvist, last season’sVezina Trophy winner asthe NHL’s top goalie. “I wasnot there, but obviously Ihave a lot of friends whowere still there, and I hadpeople move into my place.…“I hope it’s going to be a
positive day, and that peoplewho come in to watch thegame get some energy andgive the people some hopewho need it.”“Operation Hat Trick”
will be held at famedBoardwalk Hall onSaturday. All proceeds fromthe event will go directly tothe Empire State ReliefFund, the New JerseyHurricane Relief Fund andthe American Red Cross,which is aiding New Yorkand New Jersey familiesaffected by HurricaneSandy.Brad Richards of the
Rangers joined Flyers for-ward Scott Hartnell andpartnered with CaesarsAtlantic City to stage theevent. Richards andHartnell will serve as cap-tains of the two teams thatwill feature other NHLerssuch as Martin Brodeur,Bobby Ryan, StevenStamkos, Kimmo Timonen,Braydon Coburn, Jamesvan Riemsdyk and SimonGagne.As of Monday, 28 players

could be seen saying to assis-tants and players on the side-line as he tapped his chest.“It’s on me.”Yes, it was.Forsett even acknowl-
edged he shouldn’t haveallowed to score.“I know now that I was
down, but I didn’t think I wasduring the play,” he said. “Ididn’t think my knee hit, and
there was no whistle, so Ikept going.“I wasn’t giving the touch-
down back.”That score pulled
Houston within three points.“I knew the rule you can’t
challenge on a turnover or ascoring play but I was so madthat I overreacted,” saidSchwartz, whose temper gotthe best of him during apostgame handshake lastyear with San Franciscocoach Jim Harbaugh. “I hadthe flag in my hand before heeven scored because he wasobviously down.”

Tax bumpsmay befactor inMLB talks
By the Associated Press
Team executives andagents wandered into theAgave Sunset lounge atthe resort where the gen-eral managers’ meetingswere held in Indian Wells,Calif. Four of the six flat-screen televisions wereshowing election cover-age, with the other twoturned to sports.President Barack
Obama’s victory over MittRomney was of as muchinterest to baseball’smoney men as the gamescores, given the millionsof dollars routinely guar-anteed in player contractsthese days.As free agents negoti-
ate deals this offseason,tax policy is an area thatcomes up along with theusual issues. Some play-ers are wrangling for asmuch money as they canget before the end of theyear to avoid a take hikein 2013.“Front-loading would
make sense if at all possi-ble as tax rates will defi-nitely go up on January1st on all high-incometaxpayers,” agent GregGenske said in an email.“The only question isHOW MUCH will therates increase????”This much is known for
now: Starting Jan. 1,there is an additional 0.9percent Medicare tax onwages above $200,000 forindividuals and $250,000for married couples filingjointly under the federalAffordable Care Act, arise to 2.35 percent.In addition, the Bush
tax cuts are scheduled toexpire at the end of theyear, which could raisethe highest marginal fed-eral tax rate from 35 per-cent to 39.6 percent —although a deal betweenObama and Congresscould change that.Oakland Athletics gen-
eral manager Billy Beanefigures agents will be ontop of the changes — butthe results of negotiationsabout the so-called fiscalcliff are unpredictable.“I think if you’re hop-
ping around the potentialof tax reform, you’re prob-ably chasing your tail,”Beane said. “If they canpredict when something’sgoing to happen, thenthey’re much furtherahead than the lawmak-ers.”With baseball con-
tracts worth as much as$275 million (AlexRodriguez) and the majorleague minimum$480,000, tax policyaffects every player whospends most of the seasonin the big leagues.All-Star shortstop Jose
Reyes, who has a $10 mil-lion salary next year, wastraded from the MiamiMarlins to the TorontoBlue Jays. While Floridahas no state income tax,Reyes remains a NewYork resident from hisdays with the Mets andhad high taxes to beginwith. Ontario’s provincialtax rises to 11.16 percent— on top of a Canadianfederal level as high as 29percent.Among states with big
league teams, income taxrates go as high as 10.3percent in California and8.82 percent in New York.At the other end, Florida,Texas and Washingtonhave no state income tax.The top rate in theDistrict of Columbia is8.95 percent.“I like ours; we’re a no-
tax state,” SeattleMariners general manag-er Jack Zdurienck said.“When we sit down withplayers, that’s a huge ben-efit. I think any playerout there that has anopportunity to play in ano-tax state gets benefits,enormous benefits. Wehope that weighs in ourfavor.”

Bobcatsoff toshocking6-4 startCHARLOTTE, N.C.
(AP) — Michael Jordan’sBobcats are the NBA’smost surprising team sofar this season.Charlotte (6-4) has won
five of its past six gamesand is one win away frommatching last year’s wintotal.The turnaround is
impressive considering theBobcats finished last sea-son 7-59 and with theworst winning percentage(.106) in league history.They lost their final 23games of the season.But under the direction
of defensive-orientedcoach Mike Dunlap,they’ve been competitiveand have developed aknack for closing games.Charlotte is 5-0 in contestsdecided by four points orless and without muchNBA experience on theroster.That’s doesn’t bother
Dunlap.“The most important
part is to sell your systemand what you’re doingwith a purpose,” Dunlapsaid. “There’s nothing likewins to help that out.”If players had any
doubt about Dunlap’sstyle, the six wins havehelped eliminated that.What Dunlap has been
preaching is defense,which meant a summerfull of intense workouts,some of those lasting aslong as four hours.He knew the Bobcats
wouldn’t be the most tal-ented and or the mostexperienced team in theNBA not even close, in factso he wanted to be betterconditioned than anyoneout there and use histeam’s young, fresh legs tohis advantage.“I think our defense is
getting better and I’m sell-ing that first and fore-most,” Dunlap said. “Wehave a ways to go with it.It’s far from where it needsto be but it’s getting thereand we have the numbersto prove that.”Charlotte is allowing
98.8 points per game, butthey rank in the top ten inthe league in steals (86)and blocked shots (76).They’re forced 14.6turnovers per game.“Coach Dunlap, it all
starts with him,” said sec-ond-year point guardKembaWalker. “He’s a realtough guy, really intense.We all feed off him.”On Wednesday night
the Bobcats led Toronto98-97 with 28 seconds left.The Raptors had four
shots on their final posses-sion, but the Bobcatsblocked two of those andwithstood a furious finalfew seconds to win thegame.If Dunlap needed to
emphasize a point aboutdefense winning gamesthis was it.“I think it just shows
what kind of toughness wehave from the point guardall the way up to the cen-ter,” said rookie guardJeffery Taylor. “We have alot of tough guys whoknow how to win games.”The Bobcats are still
extremely young, particu-larly with guard GeraldHenderson out with a footinjury.Right now their start-
ing five consists of tworookies in Taylor andMichael Kidd-Gilchrist,the No. 2 overall pick whohas had an immediateimpact averaging 11.9points and 6.8 reboundsper game. Forward ByronMullens, who sat for twoyears in Oklahoma Citybefore being acquired lastyear in a trade, is essen-tially in his second seasonlike Walker.The only starter with
significant experience iscenter Brendan Haywood,who was claimed offwaivers from Dallas.

Potent weaponsCOLUMBUS (AP) — The
most potent weapons for No. 20Michigan and No. 4 Ohio Stateare undoubtedly their quarter-backs.Pity their poor defenses in
the big showdown on Saturday.Devin Gardner and Denard
Robinson, who may line upeverywhere but behind the cen-ter due to an arm injury, are thespeedsters who lead theWolverines’ attack. Meanwhilethe Buckeyes rely on BraxtonMiller, who likes to make tack-lers grab handfuls of air whenhe’s not completing long passes.Stopping, or at least slowing
down, the trio will be the mainobjective for both teams.Good luck with that.Gardner provided six touch-
downs, three running and threepassing, in Michigan’s landslide
win over Iowa in The Big Houselast week. Robinson, with 41touchdowns and 4,273 rushingyards in his career, dabbled attailback and wide receiver whilepicking up 98 yards on 13 car-ries.Ohio State is in a quandary,
having to figure out just howMichigan offensive coordinatorAl Borges will utilize the two.Even he doesn’t seem to know.“You don’t know nobody
knows until the lights go on,”Borges said.So the Buckeyes must pre-
pare for a little bit of every-thing.“I just know something’s
coming,” Buckeyes head coachUrban Meyer said of the possi-ble sleight of hand. “You justknow something’s coming.”Michigan coach Brady Hoke
has been tight-lipped about hisplans this week. Gardner is thereigning Big Ten player of theweek on offense, but Hoke has-n’t ruled out Robinson famousfor his lengthy streaks to thegoal line as much as for nottying his shoelaces under cen-ter.The Wolverines refused to
even hint at what they mightdo.“I never caught a pass in a
game before,” Robinson saidinnocently.During closed practices this
week he wore a padded com-pression sleeve on his rightelbow, which suffered nervedamage from a hit earlier thisseason.Asked if he can throw, he
grinned and said, “You’ll see on

Texans top Lions in OTDETROIT (AP) — Jim Schwartz
threw a challenge flag when he did-n’t need to and the Houston Texansmade him regret it.Shayne Graham’s 32-yard field
goal with 2:21 left in overtime liftedHouston to a 34-31 win over theDetroit Lions on Thursday aftertheir coach broke an NFL rule byattempting to challenge a scoringplay.“Obviously that’s a big break in
the game for us,” Houston coachGary Kubiak said. “But I think youmake your breaks when you workyour tail off.”Detroit kicker Jason Hanson had
a chance to get Schwartz off thehook, but his 47-yard field goalattempt on the fifth possession ofthe extra period hit the rightupright.Lions defensive end Kyle Vanden
Bosch did, too, on the previous pos-
session when he couldn’t intercept apass Matt Schaub threw directly athim deep in Houston territory.Detroit might’ve won in regula-
tion if its coach didn’t make a costlymistake.Schwartz threw a challenge flag
when Houston’s Justin Forsettscored on an 81-yard touchdown runin the third quarter after two Lionstackled him.“Give him credit for continuing to
play football,” Kubiak said. “We talkabout that all the time. You don’tstop, you play.”Replays showed Forsett’s left
knee and elbow hit the turf nearmidfield, and the automatic reviewthat accompanies all scoring playsprobably would have taken the TDoff the board. But NFL rules saythat throwing the challenge flag on

for the Golden Flashes.A win over the Bobcats would
complete the greatest regularseason in Kent State football’s90-year history. It would also bol-ster the school’s bowl resume,send the team’s seniors out instyle and make coach DarrellHazell an even hotter commoditythan he is already.It would be easy to coast to the
finish line. Hazell won’t allow it.“This game is like every other

BY JOYELL NEVINSOhio Community [email protected]
Tipp City was founded in1839 as the canal townTippecanoe. Since then, ithas served as a backdrop fora variety of characters, gen-erations and general quirki-ness. Some of these storieshave been preserved in twoplays and a newly publishedbook by Susan Furlong ofthe Tippecanoe HistoricalSociety.
Furlong is what is knownas an “away girl.” She wasnot born and raised in TippCity, but has grown to loveit. She first moved here in1970 with her husband,Greg, who is a Tipp native.Greg had just graduated col-lege andwas able to get a jobconnection in the area.
Before that, Susan hadonly lived in bigger cities,such as Ann Arbor, Detroitand Cleveland. She wasamazed at a place only hav-ing one stoplight and nosupermarket.
“I thought, I can’t evenbuy a pair of pantyhosehere,” Susan laughed.
Forty-some years later,though, Susan said herheart and her familybelongs here.
“Now, you couldn’t get meout of here with a crowbar,”she said.
Her work with the histor-ical society didn’t start until
the early 2000s. Susanwas afirst-grade teacher atBroadway Elementary (shetaught first and fourthgrade there for a total of 29years) and worked acrossthe hallway from kinder-garten teacher Ruth AnnWhite. White knew Susanliked to write and had aninterest in history, so sheapproached her to help witha play project the historicalsociety was working on.
The society had beencompleting “MondayMemories” taping, wherethey filmed senior citizensfrom Tipp talking aboutwhat it was like growing upin the area or rememberingthings “the way they were.”White and her counterpartswere trying to turn some ofthose stories into a play.
“I started as director andended up writing,” Susanrecalled.
The play, called“Tippecanoe: Our Story,”was completed in 2004 andwas so popular it ended uppacking the house and sell-ing as videotaped copies. In2007, Susan wrote thesequel “Tippecanoe: OurLives.” It again proved suc-cessful and is still performedsporadically.
Her latest endeavor, thebook “Tippecanoe to TippCity: The First 100 Years,”didn’t start until the springof this year, though. ArcadiaPublishing, based out of
Charleston, S.C., prints abook series of historicalsnapshots called “Images ofAmerica.” According toArcadia’s website, the series“chronicles the history ofsmall towns and downtownsacross the country. Millionsof vintage images becometiny time capsules …reminding us all of what hasbeen (and what can be) inevery corner of the nation.”
The company contactedlocal libraries, seeking inter-ested parties to write booksabout other Ohio towns –one of those libraries beingTipp City. Carolyn Rectorapproached Greg, whopassed it on to Susan, whothen sent a proposal toArcadia. Within threeweeks, she was filling out acontract, and three monthslater had to submit samplesof chapters and all the pho-tographs she wanted to use.
There are 184 total pho-tographs in the book, andeach one had to be approvedby Arcadia. The chapterscover the canal,Main Street,Tippecanoe homes, schools,transportation and even“Camp Lazy” (where theEagles park is now). Thereare big events and littlevignettes interlaced togeth-er, with the people of thetown as the defining thread.
“All these little stories,”Susan recalled, telling of a17-year-old girl who wasgiven a handsome sum topurchase a new dress so shecould christen the bridge, allbecause the engineer took afancy to her. “Talking tothese people, it’s just amaz-ing. You can’t see the history,except how it lights up
their faces.”Aside from personal
interviews, much of hermaterial came from GraceKinney – the original “awaygirl.”
Tipp Citian BettyEickhoff was also instru-mental because she showedSusan a copy of RobertEvans’ will – one of the orig-inal founders of Tipp City.Eickhoff even had one ofEvans’s ledgers that Susanwas allowed to use.
The drafts of the bookwent through six differentproof readers and copy edi-tors, yet Susan wasimpressed with how theywere willing to work withher.
“They were very support-ive about me saying what Iwanted to say,” she said.
The most challengingpart for her was not findingthe information, but pickingwhich material got to go inthe book.
“It was really hard – Icould do a whole ‘notherbook,” Susan said.
For now, though, she isbusy promoting this one.
“I’ve never done anythinglike this [write and publish abook] – it’s exciting and a lit-tle overwhelming,” she said.
Interested readers canpurchase copies and meetSusan during the Christmasin the Village eventSaturday, Dec. 1. She willbe selling and signingbooks at the TippecanoeHistorical Society museum,20 N. Third St., from 1-5p.m.
Starting Dec. 3, the bookwill be available for sale atwww.amazon.com andwww.arcadiapublishing.com. Susan said she doeshave one request for thoselooking to preserve theirown history:
“If people label photo-graphs, it would be an enor-mous help,” she empha-sized, pointing to a photowhere adults are holdingballoons and wearing tinylittle hats, “I love this photo,but I don’t know what’sgoing on or who’s in it!”

Tips on Caringfor a Real Tree
1. Keep the tree in a cool, shady place likethe garage or porch until ready to bring in-doors to decorate.
2. Saw a thin disk (1/2 to 1 inch) off thetrunk prior to placing the tree in a water-hold-ing stand.
3. Make the cut perpendicular to the axisof the stem, NOT in a v-shape or at angles.The tree will “drink” its water through thelayer between the bark and wood. If youshave the bark off of the trunk the tree will notbe able to absorb water.
4. Place the tree in its water-holding standwithin two hours after making the cut tothe trunk. When a tree is cut it will naturallyform a seal of sap over it’s stump to keepmoisture in the tree. You must break the sealto allow the tree to once again “drink” thewater needed to keep it fresh throughout theholidays.
5. Your stand must be able to hold enoughwater for the size of the tree. A good rule ofthumb is a one-quart capacity for every inch ofdiameter of the trunk.
6. Water temperature makes no difference.
