The city of Troy 2013 budgetwas approved by the finance com-mittee Thursday, with one membercommenting that the figures weremore optimistic than expected.“I’m very encouraged because I
think at one time we were goinginto a deficit in the general fundby 2015, but now it’s pushed backto 2017,” said councilman JohnSchweser.The upcoming budget was
approved unanimously by the com-
mittee comprised of Schweser,chairman Tom Kendall and DougTrembley.Director of Public Service and
Safety Patrick Titterington gave apresentation of budget recommen-dations before asking for feedbackfrom council members, MayorMichael Beamish and departmentdirectors.
Titterington noted that the fulleffect of $1 million in state budgetcuts would be endured in 2013,meaning city staff must “deter-mine what is really necessary andwhat we can defer.”Topics of discussion included
whether to fill vacant positions,such as that in the income taxdepartment; the potential of con-ducting a study to expand and

Transporting a pet to thevet can be difficult andstressful — hauling the cage,minimizing messes and pla-cating family members, espe-cially those grief-strickenover a sick animal. Not tomention a clinic environmentcan be unnerving for all par-ties involved.Amy Walker’s business
Pawsitive VeterinaryHealthcare is a mobile veteri-nary operation offering serv-ices including comprehensivephysical examinations, vacci-nations, orthopedic exams,pain management and“pawspice” — hospice for pets— among a variety of otherservices.Since 2003, when she
graduated from veterinaryschool at Ross University,
Walker has been makinghouse calls for her businesswhich has now grown toabout 200 clients, mostlythrough word-of-mouth.“Pretty much anything you
can do in an office setting, Ican do, except surgery orradiology,” Walker said,adding that she does, howev-er, perform at-home neuter-ing. In addition to conductinghouse calls from about 8 a.m.to 5:30 p.m., she also worksthree to four days a week asthe lead doctor at BanfieldPet Hospital’s Dayton Malllocation.On Wednesday afternoon,
Walker stopped at the homeof Rita Pickering in PleasantHill, who has used Walker’sservices for six years.Pickering has five cats andan Australian Shepherdnamed Stevie.Many veterinary services
are conducted more comfort-
ably at home, and particular-ly when needing to euthanizea beloved pet, seem lessupsetting. Simply not havingto travel is a plus, Pickeringadded.“If a pet can’t travel well
— and that’s Stevie — andcan’t go anywhere, she’s aconvenient person to havearound,” Pickering said of theveterinarian.Melissa Nichols of Troy
sought out Walker’s servicesafter she saw an ad aboutthree months ago, when her14-year-old dog was ill.“For me, if the regular vet
wouldn’t make house calls, itwas the only option I wasgoing to consider,” Nicholssaid, adding that Walkereuthanized her dog at home.“It was very calm, eventhough it was very sad. Andthe other pets got to saygoodbye.”Walker, a Troy resident

Miami County Sheriff ’s Office inves-tigators are notpressing chargesin the case of a 93-year-old womanfound mauled byBoston terrier dogs in Bethel Twp. onTuesday.Elizabeth Hirt remains listed in seri-
ous condition in the intensive care unitat Miami Valley Hospital after she wastransported by CareFlight from herhome from the injuries she sustained bythe dogs Tuesday.In an email to Troy Daily News on
Wednesday, detective Lt. Steve Lordsaid the investigation has shown thatthe daughter, Jennifer Dickensheet, 66,of New Carlisle, had not been function-ing as a caregiver to a degree that shehad a duty or obligation to her mother’scare that would be applicable under thelaw.On Tuesday, officers found Hirt lying
on the floor, covered in blood. Officersobserved both Hirt’s hands had beenseverely bitten and were missing largechunks of flesh. Officers also found thecalf area of both of her legs were alsochewed upon.According to the initial investigation,

U.N. voterecognizesPalestineUNITED NATIONS (AP) — The
United Nations voted overwhelminglyThursday to recognize a Palestinianstate, a victory decades in the makingfor the Palestinians after years of occu-pation and war. It was a sharp rebukefor Israel and the United States.A Palestinian flag was quickly
unfurled on the floor of the GeneralAssembly, behind the Palestinian dele-gation, as the final vote was cast.In an extraordinary lineup of inter-
national support, more than two-thirdsof the world body’s 193 member statesapproved the resolution upgrading the
Woman, 93, attackedby Boston terriers inBethel Twp. home
Palestinians to a nonmem-ber observer state. It passed138-9, with 41 abstentions.The historic vote came
65 years to the day after theU.N. General Assemblyvoted in 1947 to dividePalestine into two states,one for Jews and one forArabs. Israel became a statebut the Palestinians reject-ed the partition plan, anddecades of tension and vio-lence have followed.Real independence, how-
ever, remains an elusivedream until thePalestinians negotiate apeace deal with the Israelis,who warned that theGeneral Assembly actionwill only delay a lastingsolution. Israel still controlsthe West Bank, eastJerusalem and access toGaza, and it accused thePalestinians of bypassingnegotiations with the cam-paign to upgrade their U.N.status.In the West Bank city of
Ramallah, jubilantPalestinians crowded intothe main square, wavingPalestinian flags and chant-ing “God is great!”Hundreds had watched thevote on outdoor screens andtelevisions, and theyhugged, honked their hornsand set off fireworks as thefinal vote was cast.The tally came after a
speech by Palestinian
President Mahmoud Abbasin which he called themoment a “last chance” tosave the two-state solution.“The General Assembly
is being asked today toissue the birth certificate ofPalestine,” the Palestinianleader declared.The United States and
Israel immediately criti-cized the vote.“Today’s unfortunate
and counterproductive reso-lution places further obsta-cles in the path of peace,”U.N. Ambassador SusanRice said. “Today’s grandpronouncements will soonfade and the Palestinianpeople will wake up tomor-row and find that littleabout their lives haschanged save that theprospects of a durable peacehave only receded.”Calling the vote “mean-
ingless,” Israeli PrimeMinister BenjaminNetanyahu accused Abbasof spreading “mendaciouspropaganda” against Israelin a speech he rejected as“defamatory and ven-omous.”“The resolution in the
U.N. today won’t changeanything on the ground,”Netanyahu said. “It won’tadvance the establishmentof a Palestinian state, butrather, put it further off.”With most U.N. members
sympathetic to thePalestinians, there hadbeen no doubt the resolu-
tion would be approved. Astate of Palestine hasalready been recognized by132 countries, and thePalestinians have 80embassies and 40 represen-tative offices around theworld, according to thePalestinian ForeignMinistry.Still, the Palestinians
lobbied hard for Westernsupport, winning over keyEuropean countries includ-ing France, Italy, Spain,Switzerland, Sweden andIreland, as well as Japanand New Zealand. Germanyand Britain were among themany Western nations thatabstained.Joining the United
States and Israel in voting“no” were Canada, theCzech Republic, theMarshall Islands,Micronesia, Nauru, Palauand Panama.Despite Thursday’s tri-
umph, the Palestinians faceenormous limitations. Theydon’t control their borders,airspace or trade, they haveseparate and competinggovernments in Gaza andthe West Bank and theyhave no unified army orpolice.The vote grants Abbas
an overwhelming interna-tional endorsement for hiskey position: establishmentof a Palestinian state in theWest Bank, Gaza Strip andeast Jerusalem, the territo-ries captured by Israel inthe 1967 Mideast war. WithNetanyahu opposed to apullback to the 1967 lines,this should strengthenAbbas’ hand if peace talksresume.The U.N. action also
could help Abbas restoresome of his standing, whichhas been eroded by years ofstandstill in peace efforts.His rival, the Hamas mili-tant group, deeplyentrenched in Gaza, has
seen its popularity riseafter it responded with abarrage of rocket fire to anIsraeli offensive earlier thismonth on targets linked tothe militants.In a departure from its
previous opposition,Hamas, which rules Gazaand refuses to recognizeIsrael, said it wouldn’tinterfere with the U.N. bidfor statehood, and its sup-porters joined some of thecelebrations Thursday.With its newly enhanced
status, the Palestinians cannow gain access to U.N.agencies and internationalbodies, most significantlythe International CriminalCourt, which could becomea springboard for goingafter Israel for alleged warcrimes or its ongoing settle-ment building on war-wonland.However, in the run-up
to the U.N. vote, Abbas sig-naled that he wants recog-nition to give him leveragein future talks with Israel,and not as a tool for con-fronting or delegitimizingIsrael, as Israeli leadershave claimed.Speaking stridently at
times Thursday, Abbasaccused the Israelis of “colo-nial occupation” that insti-tutionalizes racism andcharged that the Jewishstate is continuing to per-petuate “war crimes.”Still, he said the
Palestinians did not come toterminate “what remains ofthe negotiations process”but to try “to breathe newlife into the negotiations”and achieve an independentstate.“We will act responsibly
and positively in our nextsteps,” he said.The Palestinians turned
to the General Assemblyafter the United Statesannounced it would vetotheir bid last fall for fullU.N. membership untilthere is a peace deal withIsrael. Abbas made clearthat this remains thePalestinians’ ultimate goalhopefully soon.The vote grants the
Palestinians the same sta-tus at the U.N. as theVatican, and they will keeptheir seat next to the HolySee in the assembly cham-ber.

renovate Hobart Arena, whichTitterington said had a recordnumber of activities this year; andhow to more efficiently and cost-effectively communicate with resi-dents, the media and visitors.Titterington said the city must
have a more comprehensive strate-gy moving forward in terms of issu-ing digital, electronic and mobiletechnology to staff. The city of Troywebsite is also in need of anupdate, he added.“It’s getting a little, how should
we say — clunky,” Titteringtonsaid. The city also hopes to betterutilize social media and possibly
find alternatives to mailingnewsletters two times a year.Titterington stressed, though, thatmore traditional means of commu-nication have already been fac-tored into the budget. The rehiringof a management information sys-tems tech has been considered toallow for advances in informationdissemination.Opportunities to boost funds
included increasing parking fees,instituting a fingerprinting chargeand reinstating the permissive taxintended to offset the street pavingprogram. The city may also look toalter the Cemetery EndowmentFund, or Fund 672, which wasintended to generate enough inter-
est to support maintenance at theceremony but has fallen signifi-cantly short of expectations.In other council news:• The safety and health com-
mittee recommended moving for-ward on a five-year fire and EMSagreement with Staunton Twp.,with the current agreement expir-ing this year. Emergency legisla-tion is needed to meet the timeframe.• Amending the sign code was
recommended by the law and ordi-nance committee, which alsoentails amending the zoning code.In response to a question fromcouncilman Bobby Phillips, City ofTroy Law Director Jim Livingston
clarified that an individual signcan be posted for 28 days in a cal-endar year and may not cover morethan 25 percent of the window.• The finance committee agreed
to move forward on accepting anOhio Department of NaturalResources grant for the construc-tion of a restroom facility atTreasure Island.• Legislation will be prepared
regarding agency funding for 2013,which the finance committeeapproved. Funding was slated at$55,000 for Troy Main Street,$90,000 for public access televi-sion, $29,000 for Troy Rec and$125,000 for Troy DevelopmentCouncil.

Bureaucracy makesdeath even harder
To the Editor:We are writing this on
behalf of our 46-year-old son,who died tragically of a mas-sive brain hemorrhage onOct. 30.People need to know what
can occur if your child hasnever married and has no chil-dren. All of the things thathave happened should definite-ly be changed by the govern-ment.Hard-working citizens who
love this country and haveworked two jobs in SocialSecurity for 25 years are noteven able to get the $280death benefit their beneficiaryis entitled to for burial. A wifeand child should have no bear-ing on this entitlement!He donated his organs so he
was cremated and his ashes
will be with the family forever.Those on unnecessary wel-
fare draw checks and receivebetter medical than thoseworking on minimum wage,just struggling to get by, virtu-ally getting nothing.Now let’s get to the death
certificates. Not even the origi-nal one is free. It costs $22. Youcan’t go to a bank with a copyand have them notarized by abanker who knows you so youcan move through a difficultprocess to settle the estate. Wehave to buy $200 worth to set-tle all the complicated affairs itentailed.Our government has so
many loopholes for the rich,and the poor get benefits withgood medical coverage, whilethe hard-working middle classget shafted at every turn!We went to the administra-
tion office at UVMC becausewe received a $1,200 bill for
three hours in the ER beforehe was CareFlighted to MiamiValley. This does not includethe doctors or ambulance. Itcame two weeks after hisdeath, which was such a shockand it stated we had only twomore weeks to pay it!After our conversation with
the Snyders at UVMC, we feelmuch better, as they were verypolite and understanding andguaranteed they would lookinto this matter so it doesn’toccur to anyone else. The timelimit was so uncalled for!It is so discouraging and
makes one very depressedwhen we are still grieving overhis sudden death!We hope this helps others to
grasp the mess they have madeto go through for a single indi-vidual’s death.

San Francisco Chronicleon Libya account not being the whole truth:
The Obama White House needs to set the record straight about thedisconnect between what the CIA knew about the deadly Sept. 11attack on the U.S. mission in Benghazi, Libya, and the administration’spublic insistence that it was an outgrowth of a spontaneous demonstra-tion.Ex-CIA Director David Petraeus reportedly told Congress in a closed
hearing Friday that he knew early on that the attack that killedAmbassador J. Christopher Stevens and three other Americans was anact of terrorism, but that critical detail was not made public for fear oftipping off the perpetrators that they were being tracked.“Talking points” supposedly based on the best available intelligence
continued to advance a narrative that the assaults were prompted byan overheated demonstration prompted by an anti-Muslim video. Mostnotably, those talking points were parroted by Susan Rice, U.S. ambas-sador to the United Nations, on Sunday talk shows. The president him-self advanced the spontaneous-demonstration theo-ry long after it was presumably discounted at thetop levels of U.S. intelligence.Whether this represents tactical disinformation,
a serious breakdown in communication betweenintelligence officials and the White House or a polit-ical move to preserve the fantasy that al Qaeda wasall but vanquished — various Republicans are sug-gesting the latter — the American people deserve toknow how, when, why and by whom these “talkingpoints” veered from the CIA’s understanding of real-ity.
Kansas City Star on President BarackObama’s trip to Myanmar:
Some human rights groups criticized PresidentBarack Obama’s visit to Myanmar as too hasty.Democracy in that country is hardly assured, morethan 200 political prisoners remain behind bars,ethnic and religious conflicts continue and the mili-tary remains dominant.All true, yet the Obama administration’s much-
vaunted diplomatic “pivot” to Asia comes at a criti-cal time, given China’s increasingly aggressivebehavior, illustrated in disputes over control of keyislands in the South China Sea. Boosting Americaninfluence in the Asia-Pacific region makes excellentsense.In the last few days, the diplomatic effort has ramped up consider-
ably. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Defense Secretary LeonPanetta took off with full schedules for Australia, Cambodia andThailand. Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Martin Dempsey headed forSouth Korea and Australia.Obama himself flew to Thailand and then Cambodia, for a summit
of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations.The trip also included the first-ever visit by a U.S. president to
Myanmar, formerly Burma.In Yangon, the capital, Obama visited Nobel laureate and opposition
leader Aung San Suu Kyi, and President Thein Sein, whose countryhas opened rapidly in the last three years.Suu Kyi, long held under house arrest, was freed — then won a seat
in parliament in elections permitted in 2010.Rebel insurgencies and ethnic conflicts remain a problem — as is
the army, which has been accused of massacres, rapes and the dragoon-ing of child soldiers.Incredibly, army troops still have immunity from all crimes in civil-
ian courts and the military is guaranteed 25 percent of the seats inparliament and three cabinet posts.To encourage further reforms, Obama pledged $170 million in aid.
Assuming Congress approves the funds, Washington must closelywatch events in Yangon to ensure progress continues.

Professionals in the educationworld call it bullying.Professionals in the businessworld call it harassment.Professionals in the law enforce-ment world call it abuse orassault.I recently attended a school
function called Rachel’s Challengeand Rachel’s Legacy at MiamiEast earlier this week. No schooldistrict is void of bullying. On anygiven day there is news of stu-dents who commit suicide, or avideo of retaliation on YouTubegoes viral several times a year. It’sterrible. It’s awful.I hate to be a realist in these
sensitive times, but here it goes.The fact is even if bullying doesnot happen at school, similar situ-ations can happen at home, on thesoccer field and on the bus — andeven in our adult world.The problem these days (I am
dating myself here) is that there’slittle escape with social networksand children (yes, children) havecell phones and the perpetratorshide behind screens.I am so glad I didn’t have to
deal with this technology when Iwas in school.What I liked most about the
Rachel’s Challenge program andthe tips and strategies presented
was that it gave children tips onhow to deal with being picked onor harassed well before the verbaland sometimes physical assaultsoccur. It even taught how kidscould sympathize with the onewho was hurting them the most.It put the power back in the
children’s hands. Children weretold that they had the power tocombat these mean outbursts. Themotivational speaker gave thesechildren life lessons such as sim-ple acts of kindness and how tobegin to reach out to others —even the bullies themselves.The fact is bullying happens
well beyond graduation day. I hateto break it to you kids. Bullyinghappens at workplace, at the gym,heck, even at church. Sometimesyou are the bully and others times,you are the one being picked on.
I’ve been on both sides of the fenceboth in school and well beyond theturning of the tassels.I understand nowadays that it
goes too far. I’ve heard tearful tes-timonies from parents whosedaughter was assaulted afterschool and her books were thrownacross Market Street. I’m glad theparents spoke up.And in real life, actions like
that get you fired from a job orlaw enforcement can placerestraining orders and presscharges on those who commitcrimes like assault and harass-ment.Can we all agree that we will
always have to deal with difficultand mean people in this world?These people can make your jobmore difficult, wear on yournerves, make you dread contactingthem and instill fear that you maygive them more ammunition tocontinue to make your life diffi-cult. They will always exist.Hopefully maturity and life
perspective — which can only beobtained with age — will help oneplow through those difficult peo-ple, difficult situations and hardtimes.But that’s what kids’ lack:
maturity and perspective.Heck even in personal relation-
ships we often deal with negativepeople and behavior. Family mem-bers can be difficult, boyfriendsand spouses can make life lessthan perfect and if they have ex-girlfriends and boyfriends, theytoo, can make life less than stellar.You know who they are. It stillhappens today, and I’m 30.It hurts, it’s confusing and it’s
infuriating.But it’s through these experi-
ences that we learn what we cando to combat the bullies in ourlives.As long as the world is round,
bullies will be part of life. But it’slife experience from the schoolyard to the office cubicle that willyield backbone building skills todeal with these people. They justmay need a little extra help fromyou and from above.Parents and principals can be
helpful guides and step in whenthe waters are too rough. But Ihope adults will at least give thekids an oar or two along the wayto help themselves. And we can allpray for calmer waters or becomea partner to help each other pad-dle along the way through thetough times.

• Jack WishnaLAS VEGAS (AP) — The death of amusic dealmaker who helped bringDonald Trump to Las Vegas and tried toinstall Michael Jackson as the headlineact at a themed casino was a suicide,the Clark County coroner ruledWednesday.Jack Wishna, 54, died of carbonmonoxide intoxication and was foundTuesday in a vehicle in the garage of hishome in Henderson, Coroner MikeMurphy said.Wishna was a wheeler and dealer whowill be remembered for orchestrating amultimillion-dollar agreement betweenperformer Wayne Newton and theStardust casino, said Dan Wilinsky, aspokesman for Wishna’s latest project.In a statement Wednesday, Newtoncalled Wishna a longtime friend, andsaid his death came as a tremendoussurprise.The Newton deal was likely the first ofsuch headliner “residencies” in LasVegas, said Michael Green, a professorof history at the College of SouthernNevadaWishna is credited with bringing Trumptogether with Treasure Island owner PhilRuffin to build the Trump InternationalTower on the Las Vegas Strip.He was also instrumental in persuad-ing Jackson to return from his extendedstay abroad in the mid-2000s, saidRandall Sullivan, author of“Untouchable: The Strange Life andTragic Death of Michael Jackson.”Jackson, who had been castle-hoppingin Ireland, came straight to Las Vegasfrom Dublin.“Michael arrived in a private jet andWishna and his wife were there to meethim,” Sullivan said. “So that tells you thatWishna was the guy in Michael’s life atthe time.”The promoter wanted to installJackson in a new themed casino featur-
ing a giant image of the singer in lights.But the deal fell apart.Wishna’s ubiquity on the Strip was athrowback to the cozier Las Vegas ofthe 1950s and ’60s, Green said.“I thought of Forrest Gump,” he said.“He seemed to be connected to almosteverything and know almost everybody.”Wishna had recently been developinga social media website for musiciansand their fans. He billed the siteRockCityClub.com as a new way to dis-cover talent and create rock stars.Wishna is survived by his wife, Donna.

Repairs are under way along the bikepath bridge over the Great Miami River,which caught fire June 19 and hasremained closed ever since.
A crew from The Righter Company, outof Columbus, began the work on Mondayand should be completed in the next 30days, said Bob Graeser, project manager.
The cost of the project is $90,000,which is covered under the city’s insur-ance policy.
While it has nearly been six monthssince the fire shut the bike path down, thecity had to produce cost estimates, submitthose estimates to their insurance compa-ny, and put the project out to bid.
Graeser said the crew will be removing
all burned materials on the bridge, includ-ing new rail ties and railings, and replac-ing it all with new material.
“Basically, they are taking everythingthat was burned off and replacing thatsection of the bridge with new ties,” hesaid.
A 150-foot section of the bike pathbridge sustained heavy damage as aresult of the June 19 fire, the cause ofwhich was never determined, but fire offi-cials said dry conditions and stiff windsfueled the blaze.
The bridge, which has a span of 530feet, has experienced three major fires inthe past several years.
Once the work is completed, the bridgewill once again be reopened to the public.

• “The Central Park Five” This documentarytakes an emotionally charged subject the wrong-ful conviction and imprisonment of five black andHispanic teenage boys for the rape of a white,female jogger and makes its case in a straightfor-ward, detached manner. It is thoughtful, educa-tional and understated, perhaps to a fault tonally,the trademark work of veteran documentarianKen Burns, who directs, writes and produces thistime with daughter Sarah Burns, who wrote abook about the crime, and her husband, DavidMcMahon. It efficiently depicts, but doesn’t getcaught up in, the hysteria of the place and time: aracially and socioeconomically divided New YorkCity in April 1989, when it was rotting with crackcocaine, AIDS and violent crime but also gleam-ing with the conspicuous consumption of the era.The late-night attack on jogger Trisha Meili, then a28-year-old Wall Street investment banker who’snow an author and motivational speaker, becamea symbol of this chasm and everything thatseemed wrong with society. And the five youngmen from Harlem who happened to be runningaround Central Park that night, Antron McCray,Kevin Richardson, Raymond Santana, Korey Wise(previously spelled Kharey Wise), and YusefSalaam became all-too easy scapegoats. “TheCentral Park Five” aims to clear their names pub-licly, once and for all, in a way that much of thepress did not when a judge vacated the youngmen’s convictions in 2002. Not rated but containslanguage and graphic, violent details. 119 min-utes. Three stars out of four.• “Killing Them Softly”Writer-director AndrewDominik’s film is an incredibly stylish genre exer-cise set in the world of mobsters, junkies andlowlifes, but it’s also trying incredibly hard to beAbout Something. Not content merely to be pro-fane, abrasive and occasionally, darkly amusing, italso wants to be relevant. And so Dominik hastaken the 1974 crime novel “Cogan’s Trade” byGeorge V. Higgins and set it in the days beforethe 2008 presidential election, just as the U.S.economy is in the midst of catastrophic collapse.Every television and radio is tuned to then-candi-date Barack Obama or President George W. Bushaddressing the nation even in bars and thugs’cars with the volume cranked way up, comment-ing all too obviously on the film’s action. As if wecouldn’t decipher for ourselves that organizedcrime functions as its own form of capitalism,“Killing Them Softly” turns on the mini-implosionthat occurs when a couple of idiots rob a mob-protected card game. Scoot McNairy plays the jit-tery ex-con Frankie; his inept partner is a heroinaddict played by Ben Mendelsohn. Both areaggressively grungy. The corporate types at thetop of the syndicate want to restore order, so theyask Jackie Cogan, an enforcer played by Brad Pitt(star of Dominik’s haunting, poetic “TheAssassination of Jesse James by the CowardRobert Ford”), to investigate the heist and punishthe perpetrators. This is one of those effortlessPitt performances that exemplify how beautifullyhe manages to be both a serious actor and asuperstar. The film’s best scenes are the ones heshares with James Gandolfini as a brazen butinsecure hit man. R for violence, sexual refer-ences, pervasive language and some drug use.97 minutes. Two stars out of four.
AP MOVIE REVIEWS
ArtsArtsAND ENTERTAINMENTAND ENTERTAINMENT
CHARLESTON, W.Va.(AP) — Move over, “JerseyShore” cast. A bunch ofwild young WestVirginians are about to fillyour time slot.
MTV will begin airingthe reality show “BUCK-WILD,” shot in Sissonvilleand Charleston, at 10 p.m.Jan. 3, spokeswomanCandice Ashton saidThursday.
Details about the serieswere to be released laterin the day, but last fall, thenetwork said it hadordered 12 episodes of theshow featuring a group ofyoung people recently outof high school and their“colorful antics.”
A preview clip postedon EntertainmentWeekly’s website showsthe cast drinking andswearing, four-wheelingand fighting, even filling atruck with water andusing it as a swimmingpool.
The executive produc-ers are Zoo Productionsand J.P. Williams ofParallel Entertainment, anative West Virginian bestknown for creating BlueCollar Comedy.
The West Virginia FilmOffice denied tax credits tothe producers over con-cerns the show would neg-atively portray the state’syoung male residents, thelatest front in a continuingbattle over stereotyping.
In 2002, public outcryprompted CBS to dropplans for “The Real
Beverly Hillbillies,” whichwas to feature residents ofrural Appalachia plunkeddown in the middle ofBeverly Hills.
A year later, the horrorfilm “Wrong Turn,” shot inCanada, was set in a hypo-thetical West Virginia,where cannibalistic moun-tain men terrorized losttourists.
And in 2008, state lead-ers responded vehementlywhen a casting companylooked to West Virginia forextras to play inbreddegenerates.
On the upside, though,was last year’s ParamountPictures blockbuster“Super 8.”
It was set in Weirton,the same town used forsome scenes in the classicVietnam film “The DeerHunter.”
The 2004 film “Win aDate with Tad Hamilton”was partially shot inFayetteville, which stoodin for the Putnam Countytown of Frazier’s Bottom,where the script was set.

HONOR ROLLS
Dear Heloise: Looking for away to pack Christmas orna-ments, I found that the sturdy,divided boxes that wine comesin work great. The 12 sleeveshold a lot of ornaments and arejust the right size. I put asmany large ornaments aswould fit in first and then filledthe top with a few smaller onesso all would be secure when thelid was closed.Small holiday candleholders,
etc., wrapped in paper filled upthe rest of the box.— Carol,via emailStart collecting them now!
You even can spray the boxeswith holiday colors so they willbe easy to identify.— Heloise
SCORCH MARKDear Heloise: Please help! I
was ironing a shirt the otherday and accidently scorched ita little bit. Is there anything Ican do to remove the scorchmarks? — A Reader, viaemailDepending on how bad the
scorch marks are, you might be
able to “lighten” them. Use 3percent hydrogen peroxide anda clean, white terry cloth togently buff out the singed area.Repeat the steps several
times, and the mark shouldlighten.Be sure to test a hidden area
of fabric first. If the garment isheavily scorched, it may not besalvageable.Have other stains you need
help with? I have compiled alist of stain solutions in mypamphlet Heloise’s HandyStain Guide for Clothing. Toorder a copy, send $5 with along, self-addressed, stamped(65 cents) envelope to:Heloise/Stain Guide, P.O. Box
795001, San Antonio, TX78279-5001. Check the carelabels on all garments — thelabel should have ironinginstructions listed. If not, thegarment probably will not needironing.— Heloise
TRAVEL HINTDear Heloise: Tired of
using the toilet tissue at reststops, we save the “end of theroll” at home. Flattened andplaced in a snack-size baggie, iteasily fits into pocket or purseand makes travel stops morepleasant. We keep a bag ofthese “handy packs” in thetrunk of the car when travel-ing. — Mary Ellen inMississippi

YESTERDAY’S SOLUTION:
Dear Annie: My wife and Ihave a wonderful 3-year-old son.We have a great home and makegood money, but life stinks.For the past year, my wife has
insisted on allowing our son tosleep in our bed. And in caseyou're about to ask, the answeris yes, we have not been able todo the one thing that marriedpeople normally do in bed.When my wife puts our son in
his own bed, she unbuttons hershirt and lets him nurse until hefalls asleep. Without fail, hewakes up before midnight andwalks into our room. If I tell himto go back to his room, he startscrying, and my wife then per-mits him to crawl into our bed.I went to a therapist on my
own. His advice was to tell mywife, "You can sleep in our son'sbed if you want it that way."Guess what. She did.He's the clingiest kid I ever
saw, and his mom seems to needhim a lot more than he needsher. I feel like I'm competing forher attention. Any advice? —N.Y.
Dear N.Y.: Your wife is usingher son as an excuse to avoidintimacy. This does a disservicenot only to your marriage, but toyour child. He is learning that ifhe cries, he will get whatever hewants, and that he is winningthe competition for Mom's affec-tions. And yes, she has made itmore of a competition than itneeds to be. Please don't blameyour son for being "clingy," andtry not to focus on your sexualfrustration. Instead, try to getyour wife to understand that herbehavior is unfair to the boy.Urge her to discuss this with herdoctor, your child's pediatricianor a counselor.
Dear Annie: I've been friendswith "Sue" and "Mary" for years.Last year, I asked Sue to driveme to a cosmetic medical proce-dure in another state.She agreed and also wanted
the procedure. She asked me toinclude Mary, which meant plan-ning the trip around Mary'swork schedule.We set tentative dates, and I
made motel reservations andarranged clinic availability.Mary kept changing her mindabout coming and finally admit-ted that she didn't want the pro-cedure.When she cancelled again, Sue
moved up our departure time.Mary then reconsidered andwanted to come after all. I toldher the departure time had beenmoved up, and she said she'ddrive herself and meet us there.Two days later, Mary sent me
a letter saying she wasn't com-ing and lambasted me because I"didn't know what it was to be afriend." I thought we'd talk itout, but that was a year ago, andwe have yet to speak.I don't feel I owe Mary an
apology. Sometimes I think shewas looking for an excuse tosqueeze me out of her friendshipwith Sue.It seems immature for a mid-
dle-aged woman to behave insuch a fashion. Any suggestions?— Three's a Crowd
Dear Crowd: You don't oweher an apology, although itmight help to say you are sorrythat things became so complicat-ed and difficult, and you regretthat the friendship suffered as aresult. And you could ask Sue tohelp. But frankly, after all thistime, we have to assume Maryisn't interested in renewing yourbond.
Dear Annie: "Confused inN.C." asked who should pay forbirthday and anniversary din-ners at a restaurant. Here's mysolution:When inviting people to a
restaurant, I make it clear that Iwill pay for appetizers, wine anddessert.Guests are welcome to come
whenever, and some only comefor dessert, which is fine. Thatway, those on a budget can par-ticipate, and I don't break thebank.Often, guests will buy a bottle
of wine for the table as a birth-day present.— Can't AlwaysEntertain at Home

Rally falls shortBY JOSH BROWN
Sports [email protected]
Tippecanoe chopped a 12-point Versailles lead down totwo in the first half only to see itballoon back to 17 in the thirdquarter, and it seemed like theRed Devils were out of gas.So senior Erica Comer gave
them a refill.But even though Comer
scored 19 of her 20 points in thesecond half to lead a second RedDevil rally — and even thoughthe Tigers went a mere 1 for 8from the free throw line late in
the fourth quarter, missing anopportunity to put the gameaway — Versailles simply hadbuilt too big a lead with its sizeand power on the interior, hang-ing on for dear life to remainunbeaten with a 65-62 victoryThursday at Pat WamplerGymnasium.Comer — the Devils’ return-
ing leading scorer from last sea-son — was held to only one first-half point, and Versailles’Christa Puthoff abusedTippecanoe in the paint, helpingthe Tigers (3-0) rebuild a 49-32lead late in the third quarter.But Comer scored the final
four points of the third for theDevils (1-1) and the first two of
Red Devils fall to unbeaten Tigers

Quality over quantityBY COLIN FOSTER
Sports [email protected]
Troy swimming coach ChrisMorgan is banking on qualityover quantity this season.And Troy’s quality happens to
be pretty darn good.“We have 31 swimmers, so
we’re down in numbers quite abit from last year,” Morgan said.“We are low in numbers, butwe’ve got a chance to have a goodteam.We’ve got a lot of good onescoming back.”Troy lost several high caliber
swimmers to graduation lastseason. On the boys team, Troylost the talents of Will Evans,Max Goodell and Mason Reimer,who were some of the top swim-mers for the Trojans last season.The good news, though, is that
the Trojans have district quali-fiers back on the boys team insenior Tom Jackson, Joel Evans,Matthew Roetter, Jonathan Liewand Will Armstrong. Evans,Jackson, Roetter and Liew each

No hopein sightfor NHLNEW YORK (AP) —
The NHL, the players’association and now evenfederal mediators agree onone thing: the bickeringsides are nowhere near adeal that would put hockeyback on the ice.The league and the
union wrapped up twodays of talks on Thursdayin New Jersey, with helpfrom mediators, but movedno closer to a solution tosave the hockey seasonthat has already beendelayed and shortened.Two members from the
Federal Mediation andConciliation Service joinedthe discussions onWednesdayANDThursdaybut couldn’t bring the sidesany closer.“After spending several
hours with both sides overtwo days, the presidingmediators concluded thatthe parties remained farapart, and that no progresstoward a resolution couldbe made through furthermediation at this point intime,” NHL deputy com-missioner Bill Daly said ina statement. “We are disap-pointed that the mediationprocess was not success-ful.”The players’ association
was expected to commentlater.The bottom line is that,
75 days into the owners’lockout of players, there isno end in sight.The lockouthas already forced the can-cellation of games throughDec. 14, the New Year’sDay Winter Classic, andthe All-Star weekend inJanuary.NHL Commissioner
Gary Bettman offered theunion a meeting thatwould consist of only own-ers and players without thepresence of leaders on bothsides of the dispute Dalytold The Associated Pressin an email. He added thatthe union was consideringthe proposal and would getback to the league.

points, eight rebounds andthree assists.“We need that from her
every night,” Tippecanoecoach Aaron Jackson saidof Comer. “She needs to bemore selective of her shots,because when she lets theshots come to her, she cansthem. She played with con-fidence.”After Versailles went
back up by 11, HaleePrintz — Tippecanoe’sleading scorer in its sea-son-opening win against
Butler — knocked down a3 to make it 59-51. A three-point play by Puthoff madeit 11 again, but thenComer nailed a 3 to put theDevils right back into thegame. A short while later, aComer putback made it 64-58, and two Printz freethrows cut the lead to 64-60.“That’s one of the keys
to this team,” Jackson said.
“That was one of the rea-sons we got into the hole inthe first place — becausewe weren’t playing withenough energy. At the endof the third and beginningof the fourth, that’s whenwe started playing 100 per-cent — and it showed.”But that was as close as
Tippecanoe could get.Printz tied Comer for
the team high with 20

Dalton to Lewis:challenge acceptedCINCINNATI (AP) —
Andy Dalton’s demeanorhasn’t changed since coachMarvin Lewis challengedhim to become more of aleader, even if it meantgoing against his characterand being a jerk sometimes.The quarterback’s num-
bers, though, have gottenmuch better.The Bengals have won
three of the four gamessince Lewis publicly chal-lenged Dalton to lead theoffense and middle line-backer Rey Maualuga totake charge of the defense.Cincinnati has won three ina row by at least 18 pointsits best streak of blowoutssince 1976 and the two play-ers have given their finestperformances.Lewis considers his
unusual challenge a suc-cess.“Their play is hopefully a
byproduct of the reinforce-ment of their abilities that Igave them, the empower-ment of their abilities, andthe ‘at-a-boys’ to move for-ward but take control of it
all,” Lewis said.The Bengals (6-5) are
tied with Pittsburgh for thefinal AFC wild card berthheading into a gameSunday at San Diego (4-7).In the four games since
Lewis put him on the spot,Dalton has improved hisperformance significantly.He threw for 13 touchdownsand 10 interceptions in thefirst seven games, a passerrating of 87.7 that would beslightly better than average.Since Lewis’ challenge,
he has completed 62 percentof his passes with 10 touch-downs, only one intercep-tion and a 105.7 passer rat-ing. His personality is thesame, but the numbers aremuch different.“You know what? I don’t
see Andy as a changed play-er,” offensive coordinatorJay Gruden said. “I thinkAndy is always going to beAndy. He’s going to lead byexample and he’s a verycompetitive guy, but he’s nota very vocal guy. But I justthink his sense of urgencyhas picked up a little bit.”

Lots at stake inMAC title gameDETROIT (AP) — The
M i d - A m e r i c a nConference championshipgame this year has a lotmore at stake than usual.It’s a showcase for two
Top 25 teams on long win-ning streaks and theremay even be BCS implica-tions.When No. 18 Kent
State takes on No. 19Northern Illinois onFriday night at FordField, it will be the firsttime two MAC teams inthe Top 25 have facedeach other since BenRoethlisberger was play-ing in the conference. Thewinner could end up inthe Orange Bowl, whichwould be unheard of foreither program.Kent State coach
Darrell Hazell is tryingnot to look ahead too far,but his counterpart issoaking up the hype.“It gives you a chance
to potentially do whatBoise (State) did a num-ber of years ago whenthey beat Oklahoma,”Northern Illinois coachDave Doeren said. “Notthat we could pull off thesame feat, but we wouldtry, and I think that’swhat we want. We wantthat opportunity.”The Huskies (11-1)
would have an outsideshot at a BCS bowl bid ifthey win Friday, but KentState (11-1) would be ineven better position.Under BCS rules, if a
champion from a confer-ence without an automat-ic bid, such as the MAC,
ranks in the top 16 of thefinal BCS standings andis ranked higher than achampion from one of theAQ leagues, such as theBig East, the non-AQchamp is guaranteed aspot in the BCS.Big East-leading
Rutgers wasn’t ranked inlast week’s BCS stand-ings. Kent State was 17thand could move up with avictory. UCLA is 16th andhas to play Stanford inthe Pac-12 title game onFriday night.“I’ll leave that for the
experts to decide,” Hazellsaid. “I think it adds a lit-tle flavor that both teamsare in the Top 25, but we’llworry about where we gobowl-wise after Fridaynight.”The last time two MAC
teams in the Top 25played each other waswhen Roethlisberger andMiami of Ohio beatBowling Green in the2003 conference titlegame, according to STATSLLC.And these two teamsare rolling.Northern Illinois has
won 11 games in a row,Kent State 10 straight.Both went unbeaten inMAC play while winningtheir divisions, and thistitle game could bringsome welcome publicity tothe league.“It’s well-deserved and
well-earned attention,”said Jon Steinbrecher, theconference commissioner.“I think it’s a reflection ofthe depth and strength ofthe league.”
