Tuesday evening’s city commission meeting canceled PIQUA — The regularly scheduled Oct. 4 Piqua City Commission has been canceled due to lack of business. The next scheduled meeting will be Tuesday, Oct. 18, at the Government Complex in the commission chambers.

TROY — Many would assume that to receive groundbreaking, state-of-the-art cancer treatment requires traveling as far south as Cincinnati or east to Columbus when such a facility is already in their backyard.

The Upper Valley Medical Center offers a cancer care treatment center that is currently undergoing expansion with a completion date set for March/April of 2012.

While offering chemo and radiation therapy, the Center also offers genetic counseling for those who may have a hereditary risk for developing cancer.

“We look for patients who display what we call red flags,” said Sarah

According to the American Cancer Society breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer deaths in women, after lung cancer.

Jones, an Oncology Clinical Nurse Specialist or OCNS, in regards to family members who have, “Been diagnosed with breast cancer at an early age. Usually under the age of 50, if it is under the age of 40 we get a little excited about that because it is really outside the norm.”

Jones also explained how they look for women and men who have a family history of rare cancers, such as ovarian cancer, and those who have been diagnosed with both breast and ovarian, or combinations of cancers that includes pancreatic, gastric, colon and melanoma.

Ethnicity can also play a part such as the Caucasian population having a 1 in 200 to 300 chance of an inherited genetic mutation for a cancer in comparison to Ashkenazi Jewish women who have a 1 in 40 risk.

“We know that all cancers are genetic but not all cancers are hereditary, there’s a difference there,”

Nearly 207,000 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in 2011 with 40,170 dying from the disease this year.

About 1 percent of breast cancer is in men each year.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Outbreaks of listeria and other serious illnesses linked to tainted food are becoming more common, partly because much of what we eat takes a long and winding road from farm to fork.

A cantaloupe grown on a Colorado field may make four or five stops before it reaches the dinner table. There’s the packing house where it’s cleaned and packaged, then the distributor. A processor may cut or bag the fruit. The retail distribution center is where the melons are sent out to various stores. Finally it’s stacked on display at the grocery store.

Why Do Leaves Change Color?

While you were playing in the hot sun during summer vacation the trees on the streets, in the parks, and in the forests were working hard to keep you cool. To feed the shiny green leaves that make shade, trees use sunlight to convert water and carbon dioxide into sugar. This is called photosynthesis.

Now it's autumn, and you're back in school. Those hardworking trees, on the other hand, need to take a break from all that photosynthesizing. When leaves change color from green to yellow, bright orange, or red, you'll know that trees are beginning their long winter's rest.

Where do leaf colors come from?

Leaf color comes from pigments. Pigments are natural substances produced by leaf cells.

The three pigments that color leaves are: • chlorophyll (green) • carotenoid (yellow, orange, and brown) • anthocyanin (red) Chlorophyll is the most important of the three. Without the chlorophyll in leaves, trees wouldn't be able to use sunlight to produce food.

Carotenoids create bright yellows and oranges in familiar fruits and vegetables. Corn, carrots, and bananas are just a few of the many plants colored by carotenoid.

Anthocyanins add the color red to plants, including cranberries, red apples, cherries, strawberries and others.

Chlorophyll and carotenoid are in leaf cells all the time during the

growing season. But the chlorophyll covers the carotenoid — that's why summer leaves are green, not yellow or orange. Most anthocyanins are produced only in autumn, and only under certain conditions. Not all trees can make anthocyanin.

How do leaves change color?

As the Earth makes its 365-day journey around the sun, some parts of the planet will get fewer hours of sunlight at certain times of the year. In those regions, the days become shorter and the nights get longer. The temperature slowly drops. Autumn comes, and then winter.

Trees respond to the decreasing amount of sunlight by producing less and less chlorophyll.

Eventually, a tree stops producing chlorophyll. When that happens, the carotenoid already in the leaves can finally show through.

The leaves become a bright rainbow of glowing yellows, sparkling oranges and warm browns. What about red leaves? Read on.

Do leaves change because of weather?

Perhaps you've noticed that in some years, the red fall colors seem brighter and more spectacular than in other years. The temperature and cloud cover can make a big difference in a tree's red colors from year to year.

When a number of warm, sunny autumn days and cool but not freezing nights come one after the other, it's going to be a good year for reds. In the daytime, the leaves can produce lots of sugar, but the cool night temperatures prevent the sugar sap from flowing through the leaf veins and down

Dab a bit of glue onto the back of a leaf, and attach to a piece of construction paper (If you are going to frame--you can pre-trim the paper to fit a 5"x7" frame--frames can be made from foam, cardboard or card-stock).

2. Tape the paper to a sunny window, with the leaf facing out. Leave up for THREE TO FOUR days, or UNTIL YOU NOTICE that the paper's color has faded. (Some directions say a week or longer. This time estimate would be more accurate. You'll know by the fading.)

3. Remove from the window and gently peel the leaf off to reveal the print. Frame and hang.

into the branches and trunk.

Anthocyanins to the rescue!

Researchers have found out that anthocyanins are produced as a form of protection. They allow the plant to recover nutrients in the leaves before they fall off. This helps make sure that the tree will be ready for the next growing season. Anthocyanins give leaves their bright, brilliant shades of red, purple and crimson.

The yellow, gold and orange colors created by carotenoid remain fairly constant from year to year. That's because carotenoids are always present in leaves and the amount does not change in response to weather.

The amount of rain in a year also affects autumn leaf color. A severe drought can delay the arrival of fall colors by a few weeks. A warm, wet period during fall will lower the intensity, or brightness, of autumn colors. A severe frost will kill the leaves, turning them brown and causing them to drop early. The best autumn colors come when there's been: • a warm, wet spring • a summer that's not too hot or dry, and • a fall with plenty of warm sunny days and cool nights.

Did You Know?

You can use fall leaf color to help identify different tree species. Look for these leaf colors on the trees in your neighborhood.

• Oaks: red, brown or russet • Hickories: golden bronze • Dogwood: purple-red • Birch: bright yellow • paper birch • yellow birch • Poplar: golden yellow • Maple trees show a whole range of colors: • Sugar Maple: orange-red • Black Maple: glowing yellow • Red Maple: bright scarlet Why do leaves fall?

A tree's roots, branches and twigs can endure freezing temperatures, but most leaves are not so tough. On a broadleaf tree — say a maple or a birch — the tender thin leaves, made up of cells filled with water sap, will freeze in winter. Any plant tissue unable to live through the winter must be sealed off and shed to ensure the tree's survival.

As sunlight decreases in autumn, the veins that carry sap into and out of a leaf gradually close. A layer of cells, called the separation layer, forms at the base of the leaf stem.

When this layer is complete, the leaf is separated from the tissue that connected it to the branch, and it falls. Oak leaves are the exception. The separation layer never fully detaches the dead oak leaves, and they remain on the tree through winter.

Evergreen trees — pines, spruces, cedars and firs — don't lose their leaves, or needles, in winter. The needles are covered with a heavy wax coating and the fluids inside the cells contain substances that resist freezing.

Evergreen leaves can live for several years before they fall and are replaced by new growth.

On the ground, fallen leaves are broken down by bacteria, fungi, earthworms and other organisms. The decomposed leaves restock the soil with nutrients, and become part of the spongy humus layer on the forest floor that absorbs and holds rainfall. In nature, nothing goes to waste.

Separate Colors in a Green Leaf using Chromatography What you need: • leaves, small jars (baby food jars work well) • covers for jars or aluminum foil or plastic wrap • rubbing alcohol, paper coffee filters • shallow pan, hot tap water, tape, pen • plastic knife or spoon, clock or timer What you do: 1. Collect 2-3 large leaves from several different trees. Tear or

chop the leaves into very small pieces and put them into small jars labeled with the name or location of the tree.

2. Add enough rubbing alcohol to each jar to cover the leaves.

Using a plastic knife or spoon, carefully chop and grind the leaves in the alcohol.

SAFETY NOTE: Isopropyl rubbing alcohol can be harmful if mishandled or misused. Read and carefully follow all warnings on the alcohol bottle.

tortillas across the table.

“You know about the curse of our family.”

Felix was always interested in Grandma’s stories. He was even willing to put up with helping her cook, because cooking time usually meant story time.

“Yes,” Felix answered, adding beans and rice to the tortillas and rolling them into burritos. “But Grandma, why does the curse always have to fall on me? Nobody else in our family has bad luck.”

“Felix, have I told you the story about where that cursed thing came from?” she asked, reaching out and touching the small brass bell Felix wore on a string.

“Tell me again!” Felix begged.

“Many years ago, my great-great-grandparents went through some rough times. They had no money or food, just a skinny goat. One evening, a mysterious old woman came to their home and tied that brass bell around the neck of their goat.

She said the bell must stay on the goat, or bad things would come to the family.

Afterward, the goat produced enough milk that they were able to feed themselves and sell the extra.

“But late one night, my greedy uncle snuck into the barn and took the bell from the goat. He tied it around the neck of the goose, hoping to get more eggs,” Grandma continued.

The Brass Bell Written by Cathy Sewell and illustrated by Blaise Sewell of The Curriculum Closet Chapter 1: Rotten Luck The score was tied and Felix and his friends were looking to claim the winning goal.

“Open!” Hector gasped, making a breakaway. “Pass it to me!”

Felix planted his foot in the grass and kicked the green and blue sphere toward his teammate. The ball went airborne and all the players stood still, holding their breaths.

Felix could only watch as the ball seemed to grow wings and fly through the air.

It sailed right over Hector, over the goal and even over the tall fence that towered behind the soccer field.

“Great shot,” his teammates growled sarcastically.

Everyone headed off the field. They all knew the wall rule: Anything hit, kicked or thrown over the 6-foot wooden wall is lost forever.

Felix found himself all alone, still kneeling in the same spot where he had launched the ball.

“It’s not fair, abuelita,” Felix later told his grandmother. “Why do I always have such rotten luck?”

“Now, nieto,” she began, sliding a plate of fresh corn

Twirl each jar gently about every five minutes. Replace the hot water if it cools off.

5. Cut a long thin strip of coffee filter paper for each of the jars and label it.

6. Remove jars from water and uncover. Place a strip of filter paper into each jar so that one end is in the alcohol. Bend the other end over the top of the jar and secure it with tape.

7. The alcohol will travel up the paper, bringing the colors with it.

After 30-90 minutes (or longer), the colors will travel different distances up the paper as the alcohol evaporates. You should be able to see different shades of green, and possibly some yellow, orange or red, depending on the type of leaf.

8. Remove the strips of paper, let them dry and then tape them to a piece of plain paper.

3. Cover the jars very loosely with lids or plastic wrap or aluminum foil. Place the jars carefully into a shallow tray containing 1 inch of hot tap water.

SAFETY NOTE: Hot water above 150 F can quickly cause severe burns. Experts recommend setting your water heater thermostat no higher than 125 F. 4. Keep the jars in the water for at least a half-hour, longer if needed, until the alcohol has become colored (the darker the better).

“When he went out to check on the goose the next morning, he found the goat had died. He told his parents what he had done and begged their forgiveness. Ever since, our family has had to pay for his mistake!”

Felix had heard the goat story for years, but had a hard time believing that this little trinket had cursed their family for generations.

“Felix! You’ve only rolled one burrito! No more stories for you,” Grandma teased.

“Sorry,” Felix said. “I just haven’t had such a great day.

I’m going to the attic until dinner.”

The attic was Felix’s quiet place. In a house full of brothers, sisters and cousins, he had very little privacy. He spotted an old, dusty box of books in the corner and selected a leather-bound one called “Coronado and the Golden Cities.” Felix loved books about conquistadors.

He immediately cracked open the cover to start reading.

The next day at school, Felix was still thinking about what he had read.

“One of these days, I’m going exploring!” he told his friend, Karol. Karol usually kept quiet in class, but Felix didn’t have anyone else to talk to because most of the soccer team was still mad at him.

“Where would you go?”

Karol asked.

“I’ve been reading a story about an explorer named Coronado,” Felix said. “Did you know that Coronado explored the land right around here?”

“Hey, that’s freaky!”

Hector joined the conversation, uninvited as usual. “I wonder if our town, Corona, is named after him?”

“Anyway,” Felix continued, “Coronado was looking for the seven lost cities of gold.”

“I know of a mysterious golden city not too far away,” Hector said, trying to sound serious. “Not many know of its secret treasure, but this knowledge has been passed down for generations in my family. I suppose I could be persuaded to share this information, with two fellow explorers.”

Hector glanced over to see if Karol and Felix were listening. They both just looked at each other.

“All right, then, it’s settled!” Hector announced, after the pair continued to stand in silence. “We’ll meet here at 9 o’clock tomorrow morning!”

Fun Fact What do autumn leaves and ripening bananas have in common?

The green color in unripe bananas comes from chlorophyll, the same pigment that gives green leaves their color. As bananas ripen, the chlorophyll breaks down and disappears, revealing the yellow color which has been there all along. The yellows and oranges of autumn leaves are also revealed as their chlorophyll breaks down. Of course, other changes also occur as bananas ripen: the starches change to sugar and the flesh softens as pectin (a carbohydrate) breaks down.

Cancer Continued from page 1 explained Jones. “Cancer is caused because there is damage to the genes in some way, shape or form. Whether that’s acquired through the environment or something that we eat or whether it is being passed to us through our genes from our family.”

What these family studies have found is that most cancers occur sporadically. “We don’t really know why they have it,” continued Jones. “They don’t have a clear family history; they don’t have any exposure history.”

These sporadic cancers account for about 70 percent of diagnoses,with 5 to 10 percent being hereditary.

For Jones, her genetic counseling begins by talking with patients to find what their true hereditary risk is for having one of these inherited genetic mutations for cancer. “I go over what options are for testing, what risks and benefits for testing because, unfortunately, it’s not a clear cut answer,” said Jones as she further explained that since we receive half of our genetic in-

A memorial service will be held Tuesday at Cromes Funeral Home, 302 S. Main Ave., with Rev. George Gnade officiating.

outside of Chicago in 1974.

During her high school years there and at Poway High School near San Diego, she played soccer, field hockey, and did synchronized swimming.

After high school, Duer went to Ohio Wesleyan University and earned a bachelor’s degree in elementary education. Later, she received an intervention specialist certificate and a master’s degree in education from the University of Dayton. “I picked Ohio Wesleyan because I was able to get involved in the teaching profession as a freshman working in the elementary schools in Delaware, Ohio,” she said.

Upon graduation from OhioWesleyan,Duer started applying for teaching positions. “I sent out 300 resumes. I got back 150 replies that resulted in only three interviews and two job offers,” she said. Her first job was in Martinsville, Va. teaching reading improvement to grades 8-12 for two years. It was a brand new class to prepare students for the reading and math State Competency Tests. “I had no textbooks and no mentor,” she said. “It was a challenge, but challenges are what make the job exciting.”

Next, she went to West Islip, N.Y. on Long Island to teach 6th grade for one year.

Duer moved back to Chicago for three years to teach 7th and 8th grade science at a Catholic school. Then, she moved to the Piqua where her husband was from. Lorrie left education at that time and worked for an advertising firm in Sidney for 15 years. “My new job gave me more flexibility to be at home more often and raise our two children,” she said. “Always hoping to return to teaching some day, I attended classes at Urbana University to keep my teaching license current.”

In 2001, Duer returned to education and took a position teaching 6th grade at Washington Intermediate School.The job was riffed for the next school year, but Duer was hired to be an intervention specialist in language arts at the junior high.

“Each new teaching position

has been an amazing experience and challenge which is what I love about teaching,” she said. Duer has been an intervention specialist in a resource room for the past 10 years.

Duer credits colleague Vickie Keller with helping her settle in at the junior high. “Vickie is a great mentor. She showed me the ins and outs of being an intervention specialist,” Duer said. “The whole PJHS staff is like a big family, and we support and encourage each other.”

In the classroom, Duer utilizes a lot of hands-on activities. “The eighth-graders write their own short story at the end of the year, and the stories are made into an illustrated book for the students to keep,” Duer said.

“The students are excited to see their writings in a real hardcover book.” Funding of the project is from the United Way Team Leadership Grant.

The entire junior high has undertaken a character education program.“On the first Friday of each month, we do activities centered on a certain trait like citizenship,” said Duer. “Next month, the staff and students will be working with responsibility.”

At home, Duer enjoys spending time with her family, gardening,and being outdoors, walking or biking. “I play golf, or try to,” she said.

Duer has been a Girl Scout leader for nine years, volunteers at her church,and is involved with Girls On The Run, a Dayton based group that works with girls in grades 3-8. “It’s a 12-week program where we teach girls to make good choices, and we do things to build their self esteem.”

Duer’s husband Tim, a PHS graduate, works in sales for ResistanceWelding, headquartered in Benton Harbor, Mich. Their son David is a junior in sports administration at the University of Cincinnati and their daughter Elizabeth is an eighth-grader at Piqua Junior High.

700 arrested after swarming bridge demonstrators spilled onto the roadway after being told to stay on the pedestrian pathway, police said.

The majority of those arrested were given citations for disorderly conduct and were released, police said.

Some protesters sat on the roadway, chanting “Let us go,”while others chanted and yelled at police from the pedestrian walkaway above.

Police used orange netting to stop the group from going farther down the bridge, which is under construction.

Some of the protesters said they were lured onto the roadway by police, or they didn’t hear the calls from authorities to head to the pedestrian walkway.

Habitat kicks off ‘A Brush with Kindness’ Organization to offer low-cost home repairs to qualified homeowners TROY — Habitat for of Miami Humanity County will begin repairing homes for qualified, low-income homeowners.

The new housing repair program called “A Brush with Kindness” is aimed at providing exterior and interior home repairs as well as home weatherization.

“Habitat’s ‘A Brush with Kindness’ is part of a larger Neighborhood Revitalization Initiative. This initiative gives us a great opportunity to help more families in need, as well as have an impact on the entire neighborhood” said Mark Mabelitini, executive director for Habitat for Humanity of Miami County, “Helping people repair and maintain their homes fits in seamlessly with Habitat’s core mission of making decent, affordable housing available to low-income families.”

“A Brush with Kindness” (ABWK) aims to serve low-income homeowners who struggle to

maintain their homes. The work will be done by volunteers and paid professionals when applicable.

The homeowner must meet specific qualifications including: owning and occupying a home in need of repair in Miami County; having a willingness to partner with Habitat for Humanity; being unable to afford the needed home improvements (at the present time) or are unable to physically complete the work themselves; meeting income guidelines; and being able to repay a noninterest bearing loan for the costs incurred for the repairs. Payments made by the partner family will be placed in a revolving fund to help ABWK serve others in need.

Some of the projects include minor home repairs such as painting and yard cleanup to more critical repairs such as roof repair or replacement and wheelchair ramps. Weatheriza-

tion of homes to make them more energy efficient will also be projects that will be completed under the A Brush With Kindness program.

A Brush with Kindness is underwritten by a grant from Valspar, Habitat’s National Paint Partner.

Locally, PNC Bank has graciously stepped forward with an ongoing three-year grant and Home Depot has supplied a generous gift card to purchase materials for projects.

About Habitat for Humanity of Miami County Habitat’s mission is to bring together people to help build or rehab simple and decent housing for low to moderate income families. There is a shortage of over 2,000 low-cost housing units in Miami County. The need is great here in Miami County, and Habitat wants to make a bigger dent in that need. If you would like to volunteer on a committee, in Uncle Ralph’s ReStore, or on the job site, please call the Habitat for Humanity office at 332-3763, email info@hfhmco.org or visit their website www.hfhmco.org for more information.

Miami County clinic strives to be ‘dental home’ Editor’s Note: This is a continuation of a series of articles reviewing local agencies that benefit from the United Way dollars. The Piqua United Way 2011 campaign is currently underway. Donations collected in Piqua will stay in Piqua to assist a variety of agencies.

M I A M I COUNTY — Miami The County Dental Clinic (MCDC) strives to give a “dental home” to all of its uninsured and underinsured patients.

Several months ago, a 30-year-old woman scheduled a dental hygiene appointment with the clinic. Although she was developmentally challenged, she seemed to be in complete control of herself and her activities. Then the problem came forward — she could not open her month more than one inch. This problem had resulted in her being turned away by every dentist she visited.

“Oh”, she said “if I could only get my teeth cleaned.

No one will help me.” Our dental hygienist proceeded to clean her teeth as well as she could and the young woman was so pleased. The dentist on staff is now designing and building an apparatus to allow her muscles to go out of spasm and allow her mouth over time to open wider.

MCDC also is now working with school children in Piqua. This past spring, the clinic examined 350 children getting ready to enter kindergarten and another 500 children in the first grade.

“Good dental hygiene is the best defense against many health problems down the road,” said Barb Owen, treasurer and director of the Miami County Dental Clinic. “That’s why we feel it is so important to catch children with potential problems early, so that in the future, they will be healthier individuals.”

Dr. Lytha Miller says that many times the staff at the clinic have been able to rehabilitate a patients teeth to the point that they are employable.

“And that means a lot to the health of that individual and to their family,” she said. “This is why we do what we do.”

Area genealogy club to gather BRADFORD — The Bradford Public Library Genealogy Club will meet, just for the month of October on Saturday, Oct. 15 at 11 a.m. This change of date is due to the library being closed on the Saturday of Pumpkin Show. Anyone interested in genealogy, their ancestors, the background and history of their communities, etc. are invited to attend these meetings.

“Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whoever is deceived thereby is not wise.”

(Proverbs 20:1 AKJV)

unting season opens soon. I can tell. The animals in the acres around me are becoming skittish and casting a wary eye my way. And you know, it’s the same look that I see in the eyes of educators today.

Last January, open season began on Ohio’s public employees and especially teachers when Governor Kasich painted a big target on their collective backs the day he took office. A look at the history of our schools shows that no one is sitting around taking long coffee breaks.

America’s public schools can be traced back to the year 1640. The Massachusetts Puritans who created these first schools assumed that families and churches bore the major responsibility for raising a child. The major responsibility of the school was intended to be limited, i.e., focused on: Teaching basic reading, writing, and arithmetic skills Cultivating values that serve a democratic society with some history and civics implied.

America’s schools stayed focused for 260 years. At the beginning of the 20th century, society began to assign additional responsibilities to schools. Politicians, business leaders, and policy makers began to see schools as the logical site for the assimilation of newly arriving immigrants and the perfect place for the social engineering of the first generation of the “Industrial Age”. The practice of increasing what schools are responsible for began and has accelerated GARY OGG ever since.

Columnist From the 1900s to 1920 we added nutrition, immunization, and health. From 1920 to 1950 we added vocational education, practical arts, physical education, and school lunch programs, which today are taken for granted. But the job of feeding America’s children one-third of their daily meals was a significant shift to the schools.

In the ’50s we added safety education, driver education, stronger foreign language requirements and sex education was introduced with topics escalating through the 1990s.

Added in the 1960s were mandated special education, drug/alcohol abuse education, parent education, character education, and the school breakfast program appeared (today, some schools are feeding children two-thirds of their daily meals, and often the only decent meals they get).

Then in the ’80s we added keyboarding and computer education, global education, ethnic education, multicultural/non-sexist education, English as a Second Language and bilingual education, early childhood education, full day kindergarten, preschool programs, after school programs, stranger/danger education, sexual abuse prevention education and child abuse monitoring became a legal requirement for all teachers.

The last decade of the last century saw the addition of HIV/Aids education, death education, gang education in urban areas, bus safety, and bicycle safety education.

The limits of this column prevent me from listing what has been heaped on since we began a new millennium in 2000.

All this has been added with nothing removed yet we have not added a single minute to the school year in decades (although the idea of adding 20 more days here in Ohio was nixed by Kasich).

Arguably, all these functions are highly valued by most Ohioans and that it all must be taught. But if this is so, why is it being insinuated by the party in power that educators are underworked, overpaid, and receive too many cushy benefits such as 15 days sick leave per year which is being rolled back to 10. Please raise your hand if you would like to spend seven hours a day in a 35x35 foot enclosure with 25-30 biological units incubating any number and sort of germs that they gladly share with any nearby big person.

Then there’s this television ad currently running that implies teachers are not paying their “fair share” and that could they please help out by paying 10 percent of their retirement and 15 percent of their health insurance.

Say what? Every educator in Ohio already contributes 10 percent toward retirement because Ohio law REQUIRES IT. And every educator I know already pays at least 15 percent if not more of his/her health insurance premium. It is a very insidious ad.

So here we are at a dangerous juncture in time. Increasing demands continue to be made on our schools but the party in power has a poor track record of providing the resources. It is now trying to shift the blame to the teachers themselves and the unions that protect not only them but students as well.

My last year of classroom teaching was in 1983-84, the last year before teachers were legally allowed to unionize and negotiate class size. I had 34 5-year-olds in my morning kindergarten class and 35 in the afternoon.

Under the current leadership in Columbus, we are on our way back to the past.

To the Editor: I have given this a lot of thought and have decided to vote yes for the new schools.

I was born in Piqua and went to elementary school at Spring Street and Nicklin. I went to junior high at Wilder and high school at Piqua Central and graduated from Piqua High School. My children have attended Nicklin, High Street and Washington and I have volunteered weekly at those buildings since 2003.

I feel that those buildings have served the students of Piqua well, but the time has come for those buildings to be replaced. I know that the buildings are clean and taken care of, and I know that there are pipes and wires and roofs that cost a lot of money to fix when they break. I also think that having eight buildings (not including the junior high and high school) has to be more expensive to run than three new buildings.

The new buildings will have air conditioning, handicap access and technology that will prepare the children of Piqua for the future. A portion of the money that is being asked for will be set aside to help to pay to maintain the new buildings. The new buildings will not directly affect my children, but will have a positive effect on the children of my friends and on the community I call home.

Please join me in voting “yes” for the new schools.

Educator supports State Issue 2 To the Editor: As an Ohio educator, I followed the progress of Senate Bill 5 and now State Issue 2 very closely.

It is time to give teachers the choice to support or not support the unions.

It is time to evaluate teachers on their merit, not their presence.

I want to keep my job and if paying a little more in health insurance and in retirement will keep me employed, I am willing to make that sacrifice.

I will vote “yes” on State Issue 2, because I believe it will improve our educational system. I encourage my outstanding educator friends, and my fellow taxpayers, to do the same on Nov. 8.

Talk about a tough audience for a music group.

But Ari Roland, an energetic double bass player, and his band members, two saxophonists and a drummer, didn’t show any hesitation when they took the stage in front of several hundred people seated in a small outdoor auditorium in Pakistan’s capital, Islamabad.

Mostly dressed in suits and ties, the band played several jazz standards, such as Louis Armstrong’s “What a Wonderful World” and George “SummerGershwin’s time.” They also invited a Pakistani musician onstage who played tabla, traditional percussion instruments that look like bongo drums.

The crowd cheered as the tabla player accompanied them on several Pakistani songs, his fingers flying up and down like pistons over the drums.

The energy hit its peak as the crowd sang along to or “Jazba-e-Junoon,” “Spirit of Passion,” a patriotic song by the Pakistani rock band Junoon.

There was plenty of bilateral good cheer, but the group’s performances, which also took place in the cities of Karachi and Lahore, will likely do little to win over Pakistanis.

The crowds have been small and largely made up of elite Pakistanis who are more likely to have Complete the positive attitudes toward grid so every row, the U.S. column and 3 x 3 Across the country, only box contains 12 percent of Pakistanis every digit from have a favorable view of 1 to 9 inclusively. the U.S., and 69 percent see the country as an SATURDAY’S SOLUTION enemy, according to a poll this year by the U.S.based Pew Research Center.

proved even though the U.S. has given Pakistan roughly $20 billion in military over the past 10 years and has pledged $7.5 billion in economic aid to help build things like schools, hospitals and power plants.

Momentum to cut off or reduce funding began growing this year following the covert U.S. raid that killed al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden in a garrison town not far from Islamabad. Bin Laden’s hiding place sparked suspicions among many U.S. officials even though the government hasn’t found evidence that senior Pakistani leaders knew he was there.

The Pakistani government was outraged by the May 2 operation because it wasn’t told about it beforehand.

Relations plunged to a new low following Mullen’s allegations about Pakistan’s spy helping the agency Haqqani network. The U.S. has long accused the ISI of having ties to the group, which is based in Pakistan’s North Waziristan tribal area, but this was the first time officials publicly linked the agency to attacks against Americans.

The U.S. has repeatedly demanded that Pakistan attack Haqqani fighters, but the government has refused, saying its troops are stretched too thin by operations in other parts of the tribal region. Many analysts believe, however, that Pakistan wants to remain on good terms with the group because it could be a useful ally in Afghanistan after foreign forces withdraw.

Despite the larger issues at stake, U.S. officials present at the concert Tuesday night expressed hope in the power of music, especially the “friendship song” that the jazz band recorded with

Berglund proceeded to make the grand slam by ruffing two clubs in dummy and discarding a heart on the ace of spades.

Advice When I try to buy things for the apartment, such as a new tablecloth, bath mat, etc., Keira immediately undoes any changes I have made when I leave for the day. I feel it is her passive-aggressive way of undermining me. It happens every day with something.

This may seen petty, but this is my apartment, too. I pay rent just as they do, and I want to feel at home here as well. Keira is stubborn and wants things her way. How can I get her to quit this behavior without causing further animosity within our home?

While they arrived first and furnished “their” nest, you have an equal right to have it reflect some of your taste and personality. For your friend to erase it while your back is turned is inconsiderate of your feelings.

If you don’t bring this out in the open, you will never establish a compromise. Because Keira is planning to be married, she had better get used to the concept of compromise because a successful marriage is full of it.

DEAR ABBY: Over the past several years I have fallen out of love with my wife. We’re now at a point where all we do is cohabitate for the sake of the children. She often says she wants nothing to do with the kids and treats me as below human. She calls me at work repeatedly, then hangs up on me if I don’t agree or give her the answer she wants. I finally had enough and told her I can no longer live like this.

She’s now saying she has “seen the error of her ways” and wants to change. I don’t know if I believe her or even care at this point. I have been so beaten down I just go through the motions. Part of me would like to see who else is out there for me, but then my wife cries and says she has “nowhere to go” and that I’d be putting the mother of my children “out on the street.” She doesn’t work because she can’t keep a job.

Because they moved in first, they treat me as if it is “their” apartment and I merely have a room there.

ISLAMABAD (AP) — Carrots haven’t worked with Pakistan. Neither have sticks. Now the U.S. has enlisted the power of jazz music to improve relations with Pakistanis at a time when the important alliance has hit rock bottom.

The Ari Roland Jazz Quartet certainly faced a daunting task. The U.S. has spent billions of dollars over the past 10 years to win Pakistan’s support in fighting alQaida and Taliban militants and turn around rampant anti-American sentiment in the country.

Now, Congress is threatening to cut off funding given the lack of results.

The performances are part of a recent steppedup effort by the U.S. Embassy to sponsor cultural events in Pakistan. Already this year, an American director has staged Neil Simon’s play “The Odd Couple.” The embassy also plans to bring over a country rock band and a hip hop group as well as American documentary filmmakers who will give workshops to Pakistanis.

The jazz quartet from New York City arrived in Pakistan about two weeks

ago for a series of concerts and music classes with local musicians. The trip culminated with a live recording of a “friendship song” with a Pakistani rock band during a concert Tuesday night.

But relations between the two countries have been anything but friendly during their trip.

Only two days before the musicians got here, militants fired rocket-propelled grenades and assault rifles at the U.S. Embassy and NATO headquarters in killing Afghanistan, seven Afghans in an attack that the top U.S. military officer said was carried out by fighters supported by Pakistan’s main spy agency.

Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, also blamed the Inter-Services Intelligence agency for helping militants from the Pakistan-based Haqqani network who carried out a recent truck bombing in Afghanistan that wounded 77 American soldiers.

Pakistan’s leaders have lashed out in response, warning the U.S. that the allegations in Washington could destroy the alliance between the two countries. The accusations

With the help and support of several sponsors, including Frenchtown Trailer, Midwest Radiator Service, Bensman’s Garage, Goubeaux Excavating, Eldora Speedway and TWT shirts, the event was reportedly a success.

DJ Tom Landsiedel provided music and the sound system to announce the winners of the car show and raffle/silent auction items. Trophies were provided by Lasting Im-

Winners were: • First place: Bernard Saintignon ‘51 custom Ford • Second place: Tim Osborne ‘07 Ford Mustang • Third place: Jeff Cooley ‘06 custom Chevy • People’s choice: Francis Rinderle ‘70 Monte Carlo Lori Tomlian, one of the owners of Cruizer’s, expressed appreciation to the businesses in the surrounding area that provided donations. She and the other owners, Chris Tomlian, and Steve and Barb Young, thanked everyone who participated by bringing a car to the show or by donating money to benefit Hospice.

Cruizer’s reportedly plans to host similar shows in the future.

Beating breast cancer provided motivation Stay-at-home mom goes back to school after diagnosis GRETCHEN GREGORY Logan Daily News Reporter ggregory@logandaily.com LOGAN — Although her battle with breast cancer was short-lived and she conquered the disease in a few brief months, when South Logan resident Amy Wells found a lump on her breast in June 2005, little did she know it would motivate her to move forward in her education.

“One thing it did change for me in my life is that I realized if I could beat this, I could do anything,” she said. “That’s what helped make my decision to go back to graduate school; because now I believe anyone can do anything they want to if they set their mind to it. If you have faith, and you truly want to go for something, you need to do that.”

Wells, 43, a Logan High School graduate and the daughter of Bette Kitchen and the late Larry Kitchen, credits the disease with giving her the extra motivation to finish her master’s degree in education from Ohio University.

Soon after she found the lump, a biopsy confirmed she had Stage 1 breast cancer in mid-July 2005. By the time she began treatments the first week of August, the lump had metastasized to Stage 3. “It was just as big as the tip of my finger when I found it, and by the time I started chemo it was the size of the palm of my hand,” she said.

Over the course of the next several weeks, Wells underwent eight chemotherapy treatments, surgery to remove the lump, and six weeks of radiation.

During that time, Wells — a stay-at-home mom — said she tried to keep a sense of normalcy within the household for her husband, Doug, and two sons, James and Conner.

“We tried not to let it change what we did on a daily basis,” she explained. “I truly believe that a person’s attitude and their faith can make a difference in recovery. I mean, we just tried not to change too much around our house. On the days of treatments, obviously we had people to help watch our kids and that kind of thing. I still went to the fair, and I didn’t let this control me. I controlled this.”

She considers herself fortunate because she didn’t experience many of the side effects associated with chemotherapy and radiation treatments.

Medication prevented much of the nausea from occuring, although she did lose her hair. She also received shots in an effort to keep her white blood

cell count and immune system strong following each treatment.

“I feel very fortunate. I know for a lot of people, it’s very difficult for them, and I know part of the reason that my situation was not near as bad is because I am younger, and that was an advantage for me,” she explained.

Although many kinds of cancer are common in her family, breast cancer is not one of them. Just one aunt in her family has had the disease.

Only five months after her diagnosis, Wells was declared cancer free two days before Christmas.

“My kids and my family and my husband and my friends were so supportive. I mean, there was just an outpouring of support; it’s amazing to be in a small community and have that support. It’s easier to have a positive attitude and keep your spirits up when you have such a big support system.”

She’s remained cancer free ever since, and has to have only an annual exam now. All the while, she keeps up on her monthly self-exams, and encourages others to do so as well.

“A lot of people say they don’t know what they’re feeling for, but you can really tell if there’s a difference in the tissue and if there’s something suspicious there,” she explained.

“One of the most important things is educating people about cancer and breast cancer,” she added. “[Some people] don’t want to share information, but I just think it’s important for a lot of people to share their experiences and help educate other people. Life is too short not to find out how to take care of yourself.”

Now I believe anyone can do anything they want to if they set their mind to it. If you have faith, and you truly want to go for something, you need to do that.”

ARLO AND JANIS

HOROSCOPE Monday, Oct. 3, 2011 There are strong indications that the year ahead could be an extremely rewarding one for you both materially and socially. However, strive to lead a balanced life so that each area can develop in ways that complement one another.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Check your sources once again if there is something for which you’ve long been searching but haven’t yet found. Your persistent quest might finally reach a satisfactory end.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Your views and opinions will have a greater impact on those whom you counsel than you may realistically expect.

Don’t hesitate to give advice when asked.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Although you may have thought those financial seeds you recently planted had gone to the winds, you might be pleasantly surprised by signs of sprouting.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — New challenges can be conquered if you draw upon what you’ve learned from similar experiences in the past.

Don’t hesitate to put this new knowledge to work.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — If you have something good to contribute, there is no reason why you shouldn’t make your presence felt. However, do so in ways that won’t make others view you as a right boor.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — Because hopeful, new conditions are stirring on the horizon, it is important for you to stay in close touch with valuable contacts. You never know who might throw something your way.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) — If you take it upon yourself to utilize all the assets at your disposal, you can get past any problems that might arise.

It’s going to be up to you to capitalize on your advantages.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — You have a gift of knowing instinctively how to put everyone at ease. Even though you won’t play favorites, each person will go away feeling he or she received special attention.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — Instinctively you’ll know how to improve your material circumstances without expecting any miracles. You’ll understand that all it takes is dedication and perseverance.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) — At this juncture, it’s safer to put more stock in your own judgment than in the views of others. Your ability to evaluate developments and draw conclusions is remarkably accurate.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Financial prospects look exceptionally good for you, not because of luck, but because of your own ability to derive gains from multiple sources and endeavors.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — The answer to whether or not someone to whom you’re attracted is just as interested in you may finally come. You’ll quickly find the answer by simply spending time in each other’s company.

Piqua gets past East

Busch storms into ‘chase’ DOVER, Del. (AP) — Kurt Busch left a rocky start to the Chase and his fiercest rival behind him.

Busch stormed into contention for a second Cup championship, holding off fellow Chase drivers Jimmie Johnson and Carl Edwards to win Sunday at Dover International Speedway, tightening the leaderboard.

Busch, though, is in the mix.

His No. 22 Dodge seemed only to get stronger over the 400-mile race.

For Home Delivery, Call: 773-2725

The girls soccer matchup at Wertz Stadium between a strong Division I team in Piqua and strong Division III team in Miami East did not disappoint Saturday.

In the end, Piqua came away with a 2-1 win.

“Miami East is a very good small school team,” Piqua coach Karen Horvath said.

“We felt like we could have won by more, but every win is a good win. This is five in a row now.”

Miami East coach Emalie Carson also knew it would be a battle.

"We knew going in that this was going to be a tough game,” she said. “In the most recent MVSSCA polls, Piqua was ranked number 10 among Division 1 schools.

They're having a very good season."

Piqua got on the board early in the first half on a goal by Haley Dotson.

“It was a nice shot by Haley (Dotson) for the first goal,” Horvatch said.

The Vikings almost had the equalizer just minutes later as Katrina Sutherly shot one from out wide that Piqua keeper, Kelsey Deal was just able to get her fingertips on to knock wide for a corner.

“It was a good shot, upper 90,” Horvath said. “Kelsey (Deal) made a nice play on it.”

Both teams had opportunities, but went into the break with Piqua leading 1-0.

The Vikings came out strong to start the second half, scoring 2:30 after the break to tie it.

Kylie Brown and Katrina Sutherly worked the give and go up the sideline, then Sutherly sent one to the endline for Brown.

Brown dropped it to Sutherly, who then crossed it. Chelsea Sherman made the diagonal run in to finish the cross.

“There is nothing our defense or Kelsey (Deal) could have done,” Horvath said.

Michigan State’s B.J. Cunningham tries to get away from Ohio State’s Orhian Johnson Saturday.

Not looking like dynasty OSU offense struggles in loss to Spartans

BY JIM NAVEAU Lima News COLUMBUS — The mansion is a little creaky, the trust fund is running low and Ohio State is finding out how the rest of the world lives.

Michigan State, which hadn’t beaten Ohio State since 1999, took a 10-7 win over the Buckeyes in their Big Ten football opener on Saturday on a day in which the scarlet and gray dynasty looked a little disheveled.

It wasn’t pretty on the scoreboard or on the field for OSU. The only thing that kept Ohio State (3-2, 0-1 Big Ten) from being shut out at home for the first time in 29 years was a touchdown pass from backup quarterback Joe Bauserman to freshman Evan Spencer with 10 seconds left in the game.

OSU was below 100 yards of total offense until the final four minutes of the game and finished with only 178 yards overall.

The Buckeyes’ offensive line was shredded for nine

sacks by Michigan State’s defense and their running game netted 35 yards.

And freshman quarterback Braxton Miller, who was elevated to the starting job a week ago, watched the former starter, Bauserman, run the team the whole fourth quarter.

“Give a lot of credit to Michigan State.

They came in here and outplayed us,” Ohio State coach Luke Fickell said.

“We just didn’t get it done.

“We’re going to have to look at it as a whole team.

Both sides of the ball have some things to shore up,” he said.

It was the first big test of the season for Ohio State and Michigan State.

Coming into the game, both teams had lost to the only BCS conference schools they had played – OSU to Miami two weeks ago and Michigan State to Notre Dame on the same day.

The Spartans passed the test, but it would be hard to say they aced it.

Defensively, MSU dominated Ohio State by stuffing its run game, with the

nine sacks and with an interception late in the first half that took away a chance for the Buckeyes to possibly tie the game.

Offensively, the Spartans were effective enough, but erratic at times. They outgained Ohio State 321 yards to 178 yards. Quarterback Kirk Cousins completed 20 of 32 passes for 250 yards and a touchdown and wide receiver B.J. Cunningham caught nine passes for 154 yards.

But Cousins had two turnovers – a first-half fumble and a fourth-quarter interception when Michigan State should have been running out the clock — which could have been costly against a more offensively adept team.

Still, it was a day for Michigan State (4-1, 1-0 Big Ten) to celebrate.

The Spartans broke a seven-game losing streak against Ohio State and coach Mark Dantonio got his first win over the school where he was a defensive coordinator during the national championship season in 2002.

“It was a big program

win for us,” Dantonio said.

“We played well on special teams and defense.”

Michigan State took the lead on its first possession when it went 65 yards in five plays for a touchdown.

Cousins hit Cunningham with a 33-yard touchdown pass over Travis Howard in the corner of the end zone for the score.

The Spartans didn’t score again until Dan Conroy nailed a 50-yard field goal for a 10-0 lead with 10:35 left in the game.

The Buckeyes got off to a bad start and didn’t recover until their fourthquarter touchdown.

Michigan State limited OSU to 87 yards total offense in the first half, 33 of it on one pass to Chris Fields. And when the Spartans weren’t stopping the Buckeyes, they stopped themselves.

Ohio State went three and out on its first three possessions of the game.

And when it did finally move the chains for a first down that drive collapsed with the help of a false

NEW YORK (AP) — Detroit closer Jose Valverde held off a furious New York ninth-inning rally and the Tigers avoided a major slip-up, beating the Yankees 5-3 on a rainy Sunday and evening their best-of-five AL playoff series at one game apiece.

Down 5-1, the Yankees scored twice in the ninth.

Helped when Detroit catcher Alex Avila lost his footing on the slick ondeck circle while chasing a foul pop that would've been the final out, New York got a chance to win it.

Robinson Cano, who hit a grand slam and had six RBIs as the Yankees won the opener, came up with two outs and runners on first and second. After wiping away raindrops

from his helmet, Cano hit a routine groundball to end it.

Texas evens things In Arlington, Mike Napoli kept fouling off pitches while Texas Rangers fans chanted his name.

"It was pretty loud, too, and when I heard it, I was like you guys can't do this to me right now in this situation," Napoli said.

He came through anyway.

Napoli's tying two-run single in a five-run fourth inning against suddenly wild Tampa Bay starter James Shields sent the crowd into a real frenzy. It also propelled the Rangers to an 8-6 win Saturday night over the Rays to even the AL division series at a game apiece.

Brewers open 2-0 lead in NL Win not in ‘Cards’ for St. Louis

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Jonathan Lucroy drove in the go-ahead run with a squeeze and the Milwaukee Brewers showed they could bunt as well as bash, breaking away from the Arizona Diamondbacks 94 Sunday to take a 2-0 lead in their NL division series.

Ryan Braun hit a tworun homer and fellow slugger Prince Fielder added an RBI single for Milwaukee.

But the brawny Brewers also excel at the little things, especially Lucroy.

Lucroy's safety squeeze keyed a five-run sixth inning, and right after DiaSee OSU/Page 18 mondbacks reliever Brad

Ziegler became angry about a balk call. That's when rookie Milwaukee manager Ron Roenicke put on a play — he'd already seen Lucroy successfully bunt a few times this season.

The Brewers now hold a 2-0 lead in a postseason series for the first time in franchise history.

Phils win opener In Philadelphia, Kyle Lohse couldn't beat Roy Halladay twice in two weeks as Philadelphia won 11-6 in the series open Saturday.

The second game was scheduled for Sunday night.

Browns debacle

Bengals win thriller over Buffalo on FG Most fans miss Cincinnati rally CINCINNATI (AP) — The Bills' stretch of amazing comebacks ended when they couldn't stop a rookie quarterback from pulling off one of his own.

Andy Dalton shook off a horrid first half and led his first game-winning drive in the NFL on Sunday.

Mike Nugent's 43-yard field goal as time ran out gave the Cincinnati Bengals a 23-20 victory over the previously unbeaten Bills in front of the smallest crowd in Paul Brown Stadium's history.

"I think we needed it a lot, especially at home," Nugent said. "We've got to do a better job of putting fans in the stands."

Many of the 41,142 fans had left when Dalton ran 3 yards for a tying touchdown with 4:09 to go. He got Cincinnati (2-2) in position to pull it out by scrambling for a pivotal first down on the winning

drive, helped by a replay overturn that went in his favor.

The youngster's strong finish ended Cincinnati's streak of 10 straight losses against Buffalo (3-1) since the 1988 AFC championship game. It was Cincinnati's biggest comeback since Carson Palmer's team overcame a 17-point deficit to beat Baltimore 27-26 in 2004.

"He's a young quarterback," said rookie receiver A.J. Green, who had four catches for 118 yards. "It's all about how you finish. The great ones finish, and he's going to be a great one."

The Bills arrived as the AFC's last perfect team after pulling off historic comebacks, rallying from deficits of 18 against Oakland and 21 points against New England in the past two games. No team in NFL history had such back-toback comebacks.

CLEVELAND (AP) — Matt Hasselbeck's free agent contract with Tennessee included a few perks.

One of them wasn't a rocking chair.

The 13-year veteran quarterback, who left Seattle after a playoff-filled decade, threw three touchdown passes in the first half and safety Jordan Babineaux returned an interception 97 yards for a TD as the Titans thumped the Cleveland Browns 31-13 on Sunday for their third straight win under first-year coach Mike Munchak.

"Disappointing loss," coach Pat Shurmur said. "This was a team loss. There's a lot of things we need to get better at, and it starts with me. We just didn't play extremely well. That's my responsibility."

Colt McCoy went 40 of 61 for 350 yards and one TD against the league's No. 1ranked defense, which sacked him three times and chased Cleveland's second-year QB all afternoon. But as he tried to rally Cleveland in the second half, McCoy forced a pass that was picked and taken all the way back by Babineaux.

■ Prep Roundup

Versailles golfers advance Russia spikers handle Bradford in three SPRINGFIELD — The Versailles golf team overcame some tough weather conditions Thursday to advance to Division II district tournament Thursday at Weatherwax Golf Course.

Versailles rallied on the back nine to earn the fourth and final qualifying spot at Reid Park with a 335 total.

“I thought last Saturday was a bad day until Versailles Thursday,” coach Pete DiSalvo said.

“When we teed off the wind was gusting to 50 miles per hur, the wind was blowing the rain in a straight line, the wind chill factor had to be in the high 30’s, and golf bags were blowing off their stands. As the day went on the weather didn’t get much better — 5 1/2 hours of pure misery.”

But, the golfers handled

the conditions well.

“I mentioned to another coach that I would take a 360 (90 Average) and not go out and play,” DiSlavo said. “Boy was I way off base; the scores this year were actually better than last year when the weather was nice.”

Versailles put themselves in a hole with a 171 on the front nine.

“At the end of nine holes we shot 171 and were in sixth place,” DiSalvos said. “With six holes to play we knew we had to at least shoot 169 on the back nine and then win the tie breaker. In the weather conditions and under such pressure this maybe the best nine holes a Versailles team has ever posted. We shot 164 to qualify for district.”

Tyler Drees had an 80, while Trevor Phlipot and Jake Ahrens both had 83s,

which included a 39s to lead the back-nine charge.

Aaron Niekamp had an 89 and Brandon Groff added a 94.

Two teams and two individuals will advance from the district tournament to state.

VOLLEYBALL Lady Raiders win RUSSIA — The Russia volleyball team defeated Bradford 25-19, 25-10, 257 in a “Volley For The Cure” match.

Olivia Monnin led the team with 11 kills and five aces; while Bethany York had 10 kills and Ashley Borchers dished out 17 assists.

Emily Francis had 12 assists, Abbie Goubeaux had 17 digs and Kayli Dues served four aces.

Russia, 13-4 overall and 6-2 in the SCL, will host Jackson Center today.

Buccs blank East in CCC showdown Lehman wins third straight game

MIKE ULLERY/CALL PHOTO

Piqua quarterback Taylor Wellbaum runs with the ball Friday night.

Controversial finish Piqua loses heartbreaker time running into the end zone — only the clock was stopped during the entire process at 19 seconds, when it should have clearly been under 10 seconds.

Then, Rams coach Maurice Douglass waited another six seconds to call timeout with 13 seconds left — and amazingly, several seconds after he called timeout, the clock was reset to 19 seconds.

Piqua football coach Bill Nees argued all those calls to no avail.

“They are going to interpret things the way they want to interpret things,” Nees said.

On the next play, Simpson hooked up with McCray in the end zone for a touchdown to deny Piqua a victory the Indians had earned and deserved.

Both teams went down the field the first time they had it, with Jon Dembski’s 18-yard run and Evan Grissom’s kick tying the game at seven.

Despite a 25-yard field goal by Grissom, who also had a 74-yard punt in the first half, Piqua trailed 1910 at halftime and appeared to be in a difficult position.

But, the Indians completely dominated the second half.

After Taylor Wellbaum returned the kickoff to Trotwood’s 46, the Indians ran almost six minutes off

the clock before scoring on a 4-yard run by Travis Nees.

That got the Indians to within 19-16 and Trotwood would go three-andout.

Piqua got the ball back at the Rams 44 and nearly ran the quarter out before two big plays by Travis Nees gave the Indians the lead.

On fourth-and-five from the 15, Wellbaum found Nees in the flat and he scooted down to the fouryard line for a first down.

Three plays later, on third-and-goal from the four, it was Nees who busted through the line and into the end zone.

At the same time, the Piqua defense was frustrating the Rams defense despite being two defensive lineman down, due to injuries, at times.

Trotwood drove deep into Piqua territory, but on fourth-and-goal from the four, Simpson was smothered for a one-yard loss.

After Piqua couldn’t move the ball and punted, Trotwood-Madison fumbled two plays later, with Link, who had an interception in the first half, recovering at the Piqua 29.

On third-and-four, Wellbaum appeared to dive for the first down, but was marked short and Piqua punted — setting up a chaotic and undeserving finish for the Indians.

Buccs blank East CASSTOWN — Covington (6-0, 5-0 Cross County Conference) forced Miami East into long-yardage situations, forced the Vikings to do things they’re not so comfortable doing — and forced them into four interceptions — pitching a 19-0 shutout to spoil Miami East’s homecoming Friday night in Casstown.

Troy Cron picked off a pair of passes — including one on the next-to-last play of the game to seal the victory for the defending CCC champs — and Trent Tobias and Dylan Owens each had one interception.

Tobias’ came at arguably the biggest moment. With Covington up only 7-0 and the Vikings with a first-and-goal at the 10, the Bucc defense

held Miami East on a pair of runs, forcing a thirdand-6. Kodey Price looked to the back corner of the end zone, but Tobias stepped in front of the pass and put an end to the Vikings’ only scoring threat of the game.

The Buccs held Miami East (4-2, 4-1) to 183 yards of total offense — 128.4 below the Vikings’ average — with 61 of them coming on a pair of desperation passes on the final two drives of the fourth quarter.

Covington’s first score of the game came in the middle of the second quarter and capped off a 12play, 68-yard drive. On third-and-6 from the Vikings’ 11, quarterback Isaiah Winston kept the ball on an option handoff, found a hole through the middle of the line and somersaulted into the end zone to put the Buccs up 7-0.

PLAYER OFTHE WEEK KAELE SNAPP Kaele ran to victory Saturday at the Miami County Invitational, continuing an outstanding season.

Miami East tried to answer on the ensuing drive, going 49 yards on 13 plays — including a clutch fourth-down conversion by Kevin McMaken. But Tobias’ pick put an end to that threat, and Covington took a slim lead into the half.

But Owens picked off a Bowling pass on a secondand-11 play on the Vikings’ first possession after the break, and after the teams traded punts, Tobias — in at quarterback — faked an option pitch and faked out the entire Miami East defense, keeping it himself for a 61-yard touchdown.

The extra point went wide, though, and the Buccs led 13-0.

That never came back to haunt them, though, as Tobias threw a pass on a slant over the middle that was tipped — but still hit

TROTWOOD — Piqua deserved to win the football game Friday night at Trotwood-Madison Friday night.

Trotwood did not.

The Indians played with the heart and tenacity they bring to the football field every Friday night — the problem was, they could only control what happened on the field — not the decision making of the officials in the final minute — or the inability of the clock operator to know when a clock stops and when it doesn’t.

The net result was a heartbreaking 26-23 loss for the Indians — even though it shouldn’t have been.

Facing a second-and-ten from the Piqua 43 with less than a minute remaining and trailing Piqua 23-19, Rams quarterback Michael Simpson hurled a pass for Michael McCray towards the right sideline, but Kindric Link played the ball perfectly, knocking it down.

Which makes it hard to understand why he was whistled for pass interference by an official 30 yards from the play.

But, wait, it gets better.

With 29 seconds remaining, Trotwood had a second and 14 from the Piqua 18. McCray got a pass back at the 22 and his knee touched the ground. McCray wasted

MCGUFFEY — Lehman and Upper Scioto Valley, future league opponents in the Northwest Central Conference, battled the elements in action here Friday, with the Cavaliers finally putting the ball in the endzone late in the game for a 7-0 victory.

The win was the third in a row for the Cavs and evens their mark at 3-3 heading into a game at home Friday against Dayton Christian.

The two teams were deadlocked at 0-0 at the half.

At the start of the second quarter, Lehman had a first-and-goal, but a pass fell incomplete on fourth down.

The Cavs then forced the Rams to punt from their own endzone and got the ball on the USV 20.

But again they came away empty.

USV had a screen pass go for a touchdown, but it was called back on a clip.

The Rams settled for a field goal attempt with just four seconds left in the half, but it was wide.

Neither team was able to score in the third quarter, and most of the fourth.

But the Cavs started a drive on their own 40 midway through the final period and faced a third-and-11 at the Upper 20.

After a timeout, quarterback Nick Rourke rolled to the right and threw back to his left to tight end Joe Vondenheuvel for a 20-yard touchdown with 3:20 remaining in the game.

The Bradford defenses swarms to the ball Friday night.

Football Continued from page 19 Kyler Deeter in stride, and Deeter took it 57 yards to make it a 19-0 game.

Miami East’s dangerous rushing attack was held in check most of the night.

Bruising fullback McMaken was held to 51 yards on 11 carries, while the team’s home run hitters on the outside, Josh Snyder and Michael Fellers, were held to 32 on eight carries and 24 on seven carries, respectively.

As a result, the Vikings’ went to the air more often.

Bowling finished 4 for 13 for 68 yards and three interceptions, and Price was 1 for 3 for 8 yards with a pick.

Winston and Tobias both broke the 100-yard rushing barrier for the

Buccs. Winston finished with 108 yards on 19 carries and Tobias had 101 on 12 attempts.

Covington hosts Twin Valley South next week, while Miami East travels to Tri-County North.

TCN beats Roaders The Bradford football team lost 50-22 to TriCounty North.

Jonathan Barbee had a 32-yard run for a score, James Canan caught a 39yard pass from quarterback Brandon Wysong for another score and Wyson ran eight yards for Bradford’s final touchdowns.

Barbee and Canan both caught passes from Wysong for two-point PATs. Bradford hosts Ar-

canum Friday.

Graham wins 2-0 ST. PARIS — The Graham football team celebrated homecoming in unusual fashion with a 20 win over Indian Lake Friday night.

The points came in the second quarter, when Laker quarterback Tyler McCullough was called for intentional grounding in the end zone.

Tigers drop game VERSAILLES — Versailles held a 7-3 lead in the second quarter, but turnovers and missed tackles led to a 31-7 loss to Delphos St. John’s in Midwest Athletic Conference action.

The Tigers are now 5-1.
