Friday: the 129th meeting of Indians vs. Trojans Rob Kiser

Sports Editor rkiser@civitasmedia.com

It is one of the most storied high school football rivals in Ohio — and one of the most played.

When the Piqua football team travels to Troy Friday night, it will be the 129th meeting of the two schools on the gridiron.

And the rivalry has been even throughout, although both teams have put together some win streaks.

The two teams met five times in the 1899 and 1900 season and have been going at it ever

since.

1900 remains the only time the two teams played three times in one season, with Piqua winning the middle game 26-0 to record its first win in the rivalry.

After dropping four of the first five games in the series, Piqua reeled off four straight wins, sweeping the 1901 series and winning in 1902 and 1903.

The two teams then took the only break in the series, not playing again until the 1909 season.

After playing twice during the 1909 season, the two teams took 1910 off.

The series was resumed in 1911 and they have played in every season since.

Over the next 14 seasons, they played twice, before switching to one game in 1925 and continuing that pattern ever since.

The one exception may be one of the most memorable games between the two teams — and arguably the one with the most at stake.

After Troy beat Piqua 22-7 during the 1992 season, they met again in the postseason, with Piqua winning 20-7 in the only playoff game between the two teams.

Along with six ties in the series before the OHSAA went to the overtime season, there has been one such game in the Piqua-Troy series.

Troy won that game 17-14 in 1995.

The series has gone back-and-forth often.

Piqua’s longest winning streak is five games three different times.

The Indians did that in 1924 (they played twice) to 1927, 1934-38 and most recently, 1964-68.

The Trojans won six games in a row from 197681 and had five game winning streaks from 195963 and 2007-11.

Piqua had taken the

series lead by winning five of six from 2001-06, only have Troy answer with five straight wins from 2007-11 to regain the lead.

The majority of the games have been hardfought and closely contested, with league titles on the line on a regular basis.

It was once played annually on Thanksgiving to cap the season for a number of years.

You have to go way back for the biggest wins by each team.

In 1913’s second meeting, Troy won 85-0 after beating Piqua just 18-0 in the first meeting.

TROY — A Piqua man who allegedly assaulted and abducted his girlfriend last year at a city car wash decided not to attend his sentencing hearing in common pleas court on Nichols Monday.

The sentencing judge in the case ordered a warrant for failure to appear, a felony, against Cory M. Nichols, 33, who was scheduled for a court sentencing on one count of aggravated assault, a fourth-degree felony.

Nichols was originally charged with felony abduction, but accepted a plea agreement in the case and entered a plea of guilty to the lesser charge of aggravated assault Aug. 13.

Nichols faces between six to 18 months in prison for the felony conviction, but with a new felony for failure to appear being filed against him he also faces another year in prison on top of that.

In 2008, former Piqua athletic director and current Troy athletic director David Palmer introduced the Great Miami Traditions trophy for the winner and it has also become part of the Great American Rivalry Series and will be again this year.

Troy held the trophy until Piqua took it away after last year’s win.

So, while both teams enter Friday’s game at 4-6, there will still be plenty at stake and a trophy to possess.

PIQUA — Members from federal, state and local law enforcement agencies spent Monday checking up on registered sex offenders in Miami County, ensuring each one lived where they said they did in compliance with state sex offender registration laws.

Authorities with nine police agencies took part in the effort, which began at 6 a.m. and ran through 3 p.m. on Monday.

“The operation was to verify that those sex offenders required to register with the sheriff ’s office were in compliance with the law,” sheriff ’s office Chief Deputy Dave Duchak said. “The sweep went smoothly due to the professionalism and cooperation of all agencies and their respective officers.”

In Miami County there are a total of 168 registered sex offenders and 128 of those offenders were found to be in compliance and 32 offenders were not at home. Those whose whereabouts were not verified will be followed up on in the near future, Duchak said.

However, eight offenders were not in compliance and reports have

If substantiated, those charges for failure to register will be pursued. Failure to register as a sex offender is a felony charge.

According to Duchak, one offender was arrested on an unrelated driving under suspension warrant and incarcerated at the Miami County Jail.

Additionally, another offender was found to have a shotgun and a rifle in his residence while he was already under a weapons disability. Relatives of the offender also living at that address claimed the firearms did not belong to the offender. The firearms were seized pending further investigation by the authorities.

The reason for the timeliness of the checks involved Halloween/ Trick-or-Treat this week in Miami County, said sheriff’s Lt. Steve Lord, who added the multilaw enforcement agency endeavour went well.

From page 1 “Everything went very well, as anticipated,” Lord said. “We are still following up (on the whereabouts) of a few people and charges will be referred to the prosecutor’s office.”

In the state of Ohio failure by a convicted sex offender to register as such in the county where he or she resides, works or receives an education is a felony and punishable with a prison sentence of one year or longer.

Lord added the one of the reasons for the compliance checks was to create awareness.

“A lot of these databases are there to inform the public,” Lord said.

“Having awareness of where these people live and being cautious in those areas will hopefully keep everyone safe.”

In Piqua, there are approximately 58 registered sex offenders and Piqua Police Chief Bruce Jamison said these compliance checks are needed to ensure the safety of not only children, but the community as a whole. “ The effectiveness of the law is decreased whenever they don’t comply,” Jamison said. “If they stop complying with that it does increase the risk.”

Jamison said that registered sex offender websites are good tools for parents to use in “their parenting tool box,” but said parents or guardians should not “hang their hats on them.”

“These laws, from the perspective of protecting children, are not a replacement for making sure your kids are careful and not in a position where strangers would have access to them,” he said.

The Piqua Police Department was one of a number of law enforcement jurisdictions participating in the compliance checks in cooperation with the sheriff ’s office, and others included police departments from Troy, Covington, Tipp City, and West Milton; the Ohio Adult Parole Authority; the Miami County 9-1-1 Center; and the U.S. Marshals Service. All told a total of 25 members of law enforcement took part in the checks.

As a result of the compliance checks deputies continue to have an active nationwide warrant against Jason A. Perkins, 39, whereabouts unknown, for failure to register his address and failure to pay child support. The failure to register warrant has been active since 2009.

The competition was a

collaborative concept created two years ago to help generate interest in the health and preservation of the city’s water, while fulfilling part of the department’s Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) permit requirement on public education. As every spring, Burtner and Alexander, along with Don Freisthler, water system superintendent, and Dave Davis, waste water superintendent, give a full day presentation on everything from waste water to drinking water and also storm water to the classes.

The presentation coincides at the same time the junior high science classes study water and water-related issues as part of their class curriculum.

For the winners of the project —Cayton, 2nd place, 7th grade; Ford, first place, 8th grade; Jess, 2nd place, 8th grade; and Brush, 1st place, 7th grade— the challenge was to draw pictures related to clean water and to encourage no dump-

ing in local waterways, each received a gift certificate to Dairy Queen, with the two first place winners of each grade receiving an exact copy of their sign.

Signs that will be posted at various locations along the walk/bike path and river corridor.

While some students took part in the competition on a voluntary basis, others were given the project as part of a class assignment which resulted in an estimated 150 students entering the contest. A committee of three from the city were then tasked with deciding who would be the first and second place winners in both grades.

“Nice job,” said Miller to the four as they headed back to their classrooms, still looking surprised as the teacher pointed out Brush as the first one to ask about the project. “I had four maybe five turned in, but Ashley was first and it’s kind of neat that she wanted to do it and she got picked.”

A box truck crashed into the Eldean Road railroad bridge around 12:30 p.m. Tuesday. A passenger in the truck was injured. He was transported to Upper Valley Medical Center by the Troy Fire Department. The driver of the commercial truck was not injured. Due to the severity of the impact, deputies asked that the bridge be inspected before it is re-opened to train traffic. The crash is under investigation by Miami County sheriff’s deputies.

Springcreek trustees Historical society race uncontested sets fall plans Staff report

SPRINGCREEK TWP. — Residents in Springcreek Township can’t do much to influence the township trustees race because both incumbents are running uncontested at the ballots on Nov. 5 Trustees Mike Havenar and Thomas Hill are both seeking re-election in the township they have served diligently over the

past years.

Havenar has been a township trustee for 22 years and he says he looks forward to serving the taxpayers in his township for the next four years.

“I just really enjoy the work and helping the people of the township save some money,” Havenar said.

Hill could not be reached for comment.

The township trustees are responsible for 21 miles of township roads, in addition to several other duties.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Faced with a flood of revelations about U.S. spying, President Barack Obama and key lawmakers say it’s time to look closely at surveillance programs that may have gone too far. The White House is considering ending eavesdropping on friendly foreign leaders, a senior administration official said.

The administration tried to tamp down damage Tuesday from the months-long spying scandal — including the most recent disclosure that the National Security Agency had tapped the cellphone conversations of German Chancellor Angela Merkel. A final decision about listening in on allies has not been made, the senior official said.

The White House also faces complaints at home about the NSA collecting millions of Americans’ phone records and sweeping up Internet traffic and email. The Obama administration defends those programs as important in the fight against terrorism, but the House Intelligence Committee was to examine tightening their rules during a hearing Tuesday.

Asked about the reports of eavesdropping on world leaders, President Barack Obama said in a television interview that the U.S. government is conducting “a complete review of how our intelligence operates outside the country.” Obama declined to discuss specifics or say when he learned about the spying operations.

“What we’ve seen over the last several years is their capacities continue to develop and expand, and that’s why I’m initiating now a review to make sure that what they’re able to do doesn’t necessarily mean what they should be doing,” he said Monday on the new TV network Fusion.

A second U.S. official said Obama did not know the NSA was monitoring Merkel’s communications until after his visit to Germany in June.

The official said information about the surveillance of foreign leaders emerged in the course of the White House’s broader review of spying programs, triggered by media reports based on documents leaked by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden.

The official was not authorized to discuss the matter by name and insisted on anonymity.

The White House says the United States isn’t currently listening to Merkel’s conversations and won’t do so in the future.

On Tuesday, House Speaker John Boehner said there should be a thorough review of intelligence gathering, bearing in mind the responsibility to keep Americans safe from terrorism and the nation’s obligations to allies.

“We have to find the right balance here,” said Boehner, R-Ohio. “And clearly, we’re imbalanced.”

Sen. Dianne Feinstein, chairwoman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, called Monday for a “total review of all intelligence programs” following the Merkel allegations. In a statement, the California Democrat said the White House had informed her that “collection on our allies will not continue.”

Detroit crime tour tells and sells macabre history Jeff Karoub Associated Press

DETROIT (AP) — A black-caped woman with a lantern guides more than two dozen people through downtown Detroit as night falls, spinning ghoulish, grisly tales from the gritty city’s history.

The visitors, including a woman from Denver and a couple from Bay City, some 90 miles north, take the theatrical attire and tales of murder, mayhem and mystery in stride on a recent evening.

While none of the participants seemed perturbed, some Detroit residents say the tour is in poor taste. It’s been criticized as an attempt to capitalize on the crime that still plagues the Motor City, also derisively dubbed “Murder City.”

Locals also say that the last thing they want is more bad publicity for a city that recently became the nation’s largest to file for bankruptcy and already draws tourists who gawk at its widespread blight.

The “Notorious 313 True Crime & Ghost Tour” routinely sells out, drawing hordes that hoof it through the city’s slowly rebounding business district. With the excursion, Detroit joins a crime-tour club: London is “on the trail” of Jack the Ripper, New Orleans shows off its haunts, and Milwaukee has Jeffrey Dahmer tours — though

the last has been protested by parents of murder victims who say operators profit from a serial killer’s murderous acts.

“Not to be weird or anything, but crime makes history, and people care about history,” says Nick Avila, who came from Bay City with Susan Stankiewicz to take the tour.

Tour operator and guide Karin Risko, who plans to hold the final walk of the season Wednesday, aims to minimize exploitation of the macabre by avoiding stories ripped from recent headlines.

Her tales range from the 1700s to the mid-1990s.

The first stop is down the street on what Risko calls a “creepy corner.”

Enthusiasts claim there’s a high level of paranormal activity, including ghost sightings.

The spot was once home to the Wayne County Morgue, where there were allegations of unauthorized medical experiments on corpses, organ harvesting and body dismemberment in the 1970s. A murder occurred in 1994 across the street at a hotel, where authorities say Lowell Amos poisoned his wife, Roberta, with cocaine. And a fire in 1886 at the D.M. Ferry & Co. seed warehouse claimed the life of a firefighter, who fell 90 feet off a ladder.

“A lot of people have seen an apparition of a fireman,” Risko says. “He looks human-like until he

goes to turn around and there’s not a face.”

The $25 tour includes the site of an 1895 explosion and fire that destroyed the former Detroit Journal building and killed dozens of people. The group also stops at the Buhl Building, where in 1982 Eve August was fatally shot in a law office where she worked as an intern. An insurance salesman named Robert Harrington killed her and injured dozens of others with gunfire or the fire he set with gasoline.

Jamie Grossman, who lives in suburban Royal Oak, loves what he’s learning. An unabashed Detroit fan, he says “every town and every city has their ups and downs” — and ghost stories help bring history to life.

Still, Risko’s crime tour isn’t for everybody. She’s been criticized in local media and on social networking sites for cashing in on Detroit’s reputation. One critic is Julie Johnston, a Dearborn resident who went to school in Detroit and often visits

the city.

“When are we going to get to the point where we (stop being) the butt of the joke and we’re not a target?” says Johnston, who hasn’t taken the tour but says she had a visceral reaction when she learned about it. “I think it’s capitalizing on other people’s demise.”

Tourist Catherine Wylie, a Denver resident visiting her mother in Michigan, sees it differently.

“If people are doing a tour down here, then it’s

obviously not so dangerous,” she says.

Risko says the city’s persistent violent crime problems have been good for her business, but she says that she takes the critics’ concerns seriously.

“Communities and cities much smaller than Detroit all over the country do some sort of a ghost or true-crime tour,” she says. “Detroit has a wonderful history, just like everyone else. For the longest time, we haven’t been telling it.”

The Jonas Brothers Working smoke alarm increases fire survival chances announce breakup NEW YORK (AP) — The Jonas Brothers are disbanding.

Nick, Joe and Kevin announced Tuesday they’re ending their highly successful run. The news comes after the brothers abruptly canceled their tour over creative differences earlier this month.

The breakup was first reported by People magazine. Publicist Jesse Derris confirmed the news and said no other details were available.

The brothers told People the breakup was unanimous and came after Nick Jonas told his brothers in a meeting earlier this month that he felt “trapped.”

The New Jersey brothers formed the band in 2005 and built a fan base through their association with the Disney Channel.

The band had been scheduled to release its fifth album later this year.

PIQUA — Halloween is one of the most exciting times of the year for children, but sometimes hectic for parents and guardians.

• Choose bright costumes, and have children carry flashlights or glow sticks so they are easily visible. (Hint – Try adding reflective tape to costumes and candy bags!)

This Halloween the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children have issued several helpful hints for parents in order to help them with basic safety precautions to help make this year's Halloween a fun and safe night.

out for AAA warning to drivers: Watch Trick-or-treaters Every Halloween, monsters, zombies and ghouls fill the streets across the United States to celebrate.

And if that’s not scary enough, AAA uncovered some frightening statistics. According to the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety, October 31 is one of the deadliest nights of the year for pedestrians. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that children are four times more likely to be struck by a motor vehicle on Halloween.

“On Halloween, motorists need to be especially vigilant between the hours of 4 p.m. and midnight, when pedestrians are most vulnerable,” said AAA Public Affairs Manager, Cindy Antrican.

“Slowing down, watching for trick-or-treaters who may dart out between cars or mid-block and designating a sober driver may save a life.”

First snowfall in Amish Country We awoke to a world full of snow flurries. The flakes were big and flaky but none of it stuck to the ground. It was enough to get the children excited about winter weather, especially sledding. My husband Joe started our coal stove which helps keep the house cozy on these cold mornings. A few mornings we’ve had temperatures in the upper 20s. Leaves are emptying off the trees fast. What colorful scenes painted by our Master Artist! The sun hasn’t been out too much this week.

It seems the solar freezer is still keeping charged enough though.

This colder weather has made the deer move around more. Timothy and Mose (the girls’ special friends) have both been lucky and each has shot a deer with their compound bows this month. Benjamin, 14 and Joseph, 11 take turns going with Joe when he goes crossbow hunting for deer.

Next week will already be the first nine weeks of school over. Teacher conferences are already being scheduled. Where has the time gone so fast?

Last week one day sister Emma and her two daughters, my daughters Susan, 17 and Verena, 15 and I cleaned an Amish lady’s house. It was a pretty big house. It had four rooms and a bathroom upstairs and three bedrooms downstairs. The six of us washed all the walls, ceilings, windows and some furniture in the whole house. We were tired when we finished but was glad to help her out. Her health hasn’t been the best and she recently had a hospital stay. She fixed lunch for us, which was delicious! We had packed our lunch but her hot meal tasted a lot better than our cold sandwiches. My neck was sore the next day from all the overhead washing. The wall mops are so much easier than when we would have to use a stepladder and wash the walls and ceiling with rags.

We are still having tomatoes but they are the green ones that we picked and are letting them ripen. The taste isn’t as good as when they are picked red from

the garden. Applesauce is being canned by a lot of women in the community. I still have plenty so I didn’t need to can any.

Although we are enjoying apples for fresh eating. Such a healthy snack.

With the colder weather winter coats are being pulled out of the closets. Before long also snow pants, mittens and scarves.

It gets darker earlier at night so our evenings seem to come earlier.

I tried this meatball recipe this week.

Everyone seemed to like it. I thought it was easy to make. I made spaghetti to along with them. A blessed autumn to all!

Medicare chief apologizes for ‘Obamacare’ woes Ricardo Alonso-Zaldivar Stephen Ohlemacher Associated Press

WASHINGTON (AP) — Stressing that improvements are happening daily, the senior Obama official closest to the administration’s malfunctioning health care website apologized Tuesday for problems that have kept Americans from successfully signing up for coverage.

“I want to apologize to you that the website has not worked as well as it should,” Medicare chief Marilyn Tavenner said as she began her testimony before the House Ways and Means Committee.

It was the most direct mea culpa yet from a top administration official.

The first senior official to publicly answer questions from lawmakers, Tavenner is being grilled not only on what went wrong with HealthCare. gov, but also whether lawmakers can trust promises that things will be running efficiently by the end of November.

She firmly refused to provide current enrollment numbers, saying repeatedly they will not be available until midNovember. However, she did try to lower expectations of strong initial sign-up.

Tavenner’s appearance follows last week’s testimony of outside contractors who said there wasn’t enough time to test the complex online enrollment system. It froze up the day it was launched, Oct. 1.

At stake is what the Republicans’ partial government shutdown could not achieve: a delay of President Barack Obama’s law expanding coverage for uninsured Americans.

As a result of widespread sign-up problems, even some Democrats have joined Republicans in calling for a one-year postponement of the law’s tax penalties for the remaining uninsured.

The insurance industry warns that would saddle

the new system with too many high-cost patients.

By every indication, initial enrollments have been disappointingly low. Although millions of Americans were interested in checking out new options, apparently few have been able to get through the online application process. “We expect the initial numbers to be small,” said Tavenner.

An internal memo obtained by The Associated Press shows that the administration expected nearly 500,000 uninsured people to sign up for coverage just in October, the program’s first month. Tavenner repeatedly declined to cite enrollment numbers, saying they will not be provided until midNovember.

House Ways and Means Chairman Dave Camp, RMich., drew his own conclusion. He told Tavenner that by his math, the administration appears headed for less than a fourth of its October signup estimate.

Less well known than Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, Tavenner was closer to the day-to-day work of setting up the enrollment website, which was handled by experts within her agency, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, along with outside contractors.

Like other administration officials, she previously had assured Congress that everything was on track for a reasonably smooth launch in all 50 states.

“If people can’t navigate such a dysfunctional and overly complex system, is it fair for the IRS to impose tax penalties?” said Camp. In a concession, the White House has said it will waive penalties for anyone who signs up by March 31, in effect granting a limited grace period.

Democrats repeatedly questioned the credibility of Republican critics,

Marilyn Tavenner, the administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, goes over her notes on Capitol Hill in Washington, Tuesday, Oct. 29, 2013, prior to testifying before the House Ways and Means Committee hearing on the implementation of the Affordable Care Act. Stressing that improvements are happening daily, the senior Obama official closest to the administration's malfunctioning health care website apologized Tuesday for problems that have kept Americans from successfully signing up for coverage.

given the GOP’s diehard opposition to the health care law. Ranking Democrat Sander Levin of Michigan drew a contrast between Obama’s law and former President George W. Bush’s Medicare prescription benefit, also beset with problems initially. For the most part, Democrats helped to smooth those issues, he said.

“If we all had the same spirit with the Affordable Care Act, it would be more than helpful,” he said.

Tavenner began her career as a nurse and built a successful record as a hospital executive before entering public service. Seen as a businesslike manager, she has enjoyed support from lawmakers across the political spectrum. Indeed, Republicans are calling for Sebelius to resign, not Tavenner. But the Medicare chief’s professional reputation is also at stake.

On Monday, a spokeswoman acknowledged Tavenner’s central role.

The Medicare agency

“has said we are responsible for the issues the website is currently facing,” communications director Julie Bataille said. As administrator, Tavenner “has been in charge of the overall … implementation effort.”

What Tavenner knew about the potential for problems and whom she told will be key questions from lawmakers.

Additionally, some are concerned about the security of the HealthCare.gov site. Others worry about unintended consequences from the feverish, hasty work to repair the site.

Sebelius is likely to face some of the same questions Wednesday when she appears before another powerful House panel, the Energy and Commerce Committee.

Momentum to fix the problems has grown since Obama personally acknowledged the problems last week. He sent in management consultant Jeff Zients to assess the situation. By the end of the week, Zients reported that he had two big lists with dozens of needed

fixes, and said he was optimistic they could be completed by Nov. 30.

HHS also announced that an outside company would assume the role of general contractor shepherding the fixes, in effect taking over the coordination job that Tavenner’s agency had been doing.

Although the administration has released a blizzard of statistics on the numbers of people visiting the website, opening accounts and having their income verified by the Internal Revenue Service, it has yet to say how many have successfully enrolled for health insurance.

The website was supposed to be the online portal to coverage for people who don’t have a health plan on the job.

Its target audience is not only uninsured Americans but those who already purchase coverage individually. A companion site for small businesses has also run into problems.

Under the law, middleclass people can qualify for tax credits to make private health insurance more affordable, while low-income people will be steered to Medicaid in states agreeing to expand that safety net program.

HAMILTON — The Lehman soccer team didn’t consider the score settled with Summit Country Day — until the final horn sounded in a D-III regional semifinal at Hamilton High School’s Virgil Schwarm Stadium Tuesday night.

It was a battle of soccer titans as Lehman came in ranked second in the state in D-III and Summit, a state semifinalist last year, was fourth.

The Lady Cavaliers 4-2 victory moved them to where no Shelby County soccer team has been before — one game from state.

And it was the second win over Summit this year, including a 2-1 regular season victory. Lehman will play Hamilton Badin at 3 p.m.

Saturday with the game tentatively scheduled for Hamilton.

“They (Summit Country Day) were the ones that knocked us out of the tournament last year,” Lehman senior Taylor Lachey said.

“So, this feels great.”

The Cavaliers did it despite being outshot 17-6, with keeper Grace Frantz making 10 saves.

“Summit is a great team,” Lehman coach Tony Schroeder said. “It is not easy to beat a team like that twice in the same season.”

After the Knights got a backside goal off a corner kick just 4:59 into the game, Lehman went to work on the offensive end on the start of a big night for Ashley Keller.

On a ball that appeared to be headed for a goal kick, Keller hustled and with some fancy footwork kept the ball alive near the end line.

“It was just like I told you after the Miami East game,” Keller said.

“You have to follow everything.

You can’t ever give up on a ball.”

She was able to cross to Sara Fuller, who touched it over to Lachey for the equalizer with 30:08 remaining in the first half.

“Ashley just made a great play on the ball and I finished it,” Lachey said.

It seemed to swing the momentum.

“That was huge after they had scored,” Schroeder said. “That was just a great hustle play by Ashley (Keller).”

Lehman took the lead with 24:49 remaining when Madeline Franklin had a great thru ball to

the right side about 20 yards out.

Ashley Keller and Katie Edwards both went racing for the ball and got there nearly the same time as the Knights keeper.

Keller was able to get a foot on it and it get it past the keeper and it rolled 10 yards into an empty net to give Lehman the lead.

“It was amazing to see that happen,” Edwards said.

With 9:34 remaining, Summit was able to tie it on the follow of a deflected shot, but Lehman again had an answer.

Lachey sent a perfect corner kick that Keller was able to head into the goal to make it 3-2 with just 3:28 left in the half.

“Corner kicks are one of our strengths,” Lachey said. “I put it in front of the goal and Ashley (Keller) was able to finish it.”

It was also created by an effective strategy Lehman was using of sending the ball in the area and beating the Summit defense to it.

“We wanted two short kicks and a long kick,” Schroeder said.

“That was big, to give us the lead at halftime.”

Keller completed her hat trick in an unusual fashion.

With 36:06 remaining in the

game, she drilled a shot that the Summit keeper appeared to be in position to save.

It deflected off a Knight defender to the left corner of the goal to make it 4-2.

“I don’t know where that came from,” Keller said with a laugh.

Schroeder agreed.

“That was one of those lucky goals you get sometimes,” he said.

“But, you need goals like that when you are playing a team like Summit.”

After the frenzy of scoring up to that point, the last 36 minutes was scoreless.

And Frantz tipped a couple good Knight shots away to maintain the lead and Summit hit two rockets off the top post in the final two minutes.

“It was great to be up 4-2, but we still had 36 minutes to go,” Schroeder said. “We kind of packed it in (on defense) after that and Grace (Frantz) did a nice job.”

When the game ended, Lehman celebrated a big win.

“It is amazing (to be one game from the state semifinals),” Lachey said.

And the score with Summit Country Day was settled.

to find away to get more people to see it.”

The walk will start at the Sam Pearson Memorial, near the first tee, and included the entire back nine.

“We will have to walk a couple holes twice to make it a 5K,” Fox said. “I wanted for them to be able to see how beautiful the back nine is.”

Fox said the event wouldn’t be possible without the work of Cindy Pearson.

“I knew she had done a couple walks in the paston the bike path that benefited the Bethany Center,” Fox said. “She was all for this. Without her, this wouldn’t be happening.”

This year’s event, like last year, will be a walk or jog.

“We might do a run next year,” Fox said.

“But, this year’s event will just be a walk.”

The walk will begin at 9 a.m. on Nov. 9 The entry fee is $20.

TROY — Covington freshman Anna Dunn had crunched the numbers and knew what she had to do at Saturday’s Division III regional cross country meet and Troy.

And Dunn did exactly that, finishing 13th in 20:04.27 to earn berth in Saturday’s state meet.

“It is something I have dreamed of for a couple years,” Dunn said. “I had done all the virtual meets online. I could see I was close, but still outside of what I needed to do. That is one of the things that motivated me.”

And for a freshman, Dunn showed amazing composure and patience to run her race, knowing she needed a top 16

finish to advance.

“The way I run my race, I have a big kick at the end,” she said. “I was probably 20th to 30th most of the race.”

But, she moved into position as she made the final turn and headed for the finish line.

“I knew I was 14th and passed one girls to move up to 13th,” she said. “That (fear of girls coming from behind) probably is why I sprinted even harder than normal at the end. My time was a PR (personal record).”

She will be joined at state

“It really helps me a lot having Carly to run with,” Dunn said. “We push each other and help each other.”

Dunn has just one goal for the race this Saturday at National Trail Raceway.

BY FRANCES DRAKE

For Thursday, Oct. 31, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You can get an enormous amount of work done today simply because you have stamina and endurance. In fact, you will welcome the challenge.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) This is a strong day for people with workout routines related to sports, because they will be surprised by their endurance. You also might slog away to finish something in the hospitality industry.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You can make improvements at home with renovations, residential moves or recommended changes. You have lots of energy to lend to whatever job you decide to do.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You are convincing today, mostly because you're fiercely focused. This is a good day to persuade others to go along with your plans. Don't hesitate -- just make your pitch.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Trust your moneymaking ideas, because you are clever today. You might see new ways to earn money or new uses or applications for something you already own.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Take a realistic look in the mirror today and ask yourself what you can do to improve your appearance. You want reforms in your life and to change the world around you.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Your research abilities are excellent today, primarily because you will be relentless. Look for the answers that you need to find.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Discussions about shared property, inheritances and insurance matters will go well today. You intend to get your fair share of things.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) It's important to know that if you work solely for your own benefit today, your results will be lessened.

But if you join forces with others to work for the benefit of others, then you win!

YOU BORN TODAY You have excellent powers of observation. You absorb information, and because you are organized and decisive, you're ready to act. You welcome challenges and are confident to move quickly. You are gentle, kind and accommodating to others. Personally, you love mysteries and sleuthing of the facts of a situation. This year, partnerships and close friendships will be your primary focus.

Dimmer view of economy makes Fed pullback unlikely Martin Crutsinger AP Economics Writer

LEGALS

Help Wanted General

PUBLIC NOTICE DATED 10/30/2013 The City of Piqua 2014 proposed budget report is available for inspection at the Finance office 201 W. Water Street, Piqua, OH 45356.

Budget Meetings with City Commissioners will be held on November 14, 2013 (Enterprise Funds) and November 21, 2013 (General Fund) at 6:00 p.m. in the Administrative Conference Room on the Second Floor of the Municipal Government Complex.

More deadlines and possible economic disruptions lie ahead.

A House-Senate conference committee is working toward a budget accord. But wide differences separate Democrats and Republicans on spending and taxes.

Without a deal by Jan. 15, another shutdown is possible. Congress must also raise the government’s debt ceiling after Feb. 7.

If not, a market-rattling default will remain a threat.

The standoff has led economists to trim their forecasts for economic growth in the OctoberDecember quarter.

U.S. employers added just 148,000 jobs in September, a steep slowdown from August. And temporary layoffs during the shutdown are expected to depress October’s job gain.

The shutdown also postponed the release of many of the government’s economic reports. The delay has made it harder for Fed officials to assess the economy.

Given the uncertainties, analysts think the Fed will be cautious about paring its economic support. In June, when Bernanke suggested that the Fed could reduce its bond buying by year’s end, the Dow Jones industrial average plunged 560 points in two days. Many investors feared that the Fed might remove its support prematurely and derail an

already subpar recovery from the recession.

Interest rates rose, too.

The increase particularly in mortgage rates, before the Fed had even begun to change policy, alarmed the central bank. Higher mortgage rates could dampen the gains in housing, which has been a rare bright spot for the economy.

In explaining its decision to maintain the pace of its purchases, the Fed expressed concern in September that higher rates, if sustained, could slow any improvement in the job market and the economy.

Given the panic among investors when Bernanke raised the prospect that the Fed would slow its bond purchases, analysts think any pullback will be very gradual. That’s especially true if a pullback starts in March or later, when Yellen would be chairman and considering her first major policy move.

“The one thing Janet Yellen will not want to do is start her term by making a mistake,” said Brian Bethune, an economics professor at Westmont College in Santa Barbara, Calif. “She will be extremely cautious and will try to signal that the Fed is starting to back off its bond purchases without causing the kinds of effects we saw in the summer.”

This week’s meeting is the first since Obama announced Oct. 9 his

choice of Yellen to be chairman. David Jones, chief economist at DMJ Advisors and the author of several books on the Fed, said her status could change the dynamics this week.

“Bernanke is essentially a lame duck, and Yellen has not yet taken over,” Jones said. “It will make the Fed more cautious.”

Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., has said he will oppose Yellen’s nomination unless the Senate votes on a bill he’s sponsoring to subject the Fed’s rate decisions to review by the Government Accountability Office.

Yellen is expected to win Senate confirmation. But Paul’s efforts could slow the process.

The Senate Banking Committee is considering holding a hearing on Yellen’s nomination on Nov. 14. But a vote by the full Senate might not come until January.

Once the Fed starts trimming its bond purchases, economists foresee reductions of $10 billion to $20 billion a month as long as the economy improves consistently. Some analysts think the Fed could finish its purchases by the end of 2014.

“But if something goes wrong, then they will stop or at least slow down the reductions,” said David Wyss, a former chief economist at Standard & Poor’s and now an economics professor at Brown University.

Volunteers a vital part of nonprofits Cassie Turner Associated Press

Ask a nonprofit leader what makes her organization work and, in many cases, the answer is simple: Volunteers.

The Corporation for National and Community Service reported in 2011 that 26.8 percent of the adult population or 64.3 million Americans gave 7.9 billion hours of service. When translated, that equals a $171 billion economic impact made by volunteers.

The 2012 national average of the monetary value of a volunteer hour was $22.14, according to the Independent Sector website. An Ohio volunteer’s hour of service was valued at $19.23 in 2011.

In Hancock County, for example, there are 164 volunteers in the 4-H program. At an average donation of 40 hours per person across the year, that is a $126,148.80 contribution to our youth.

Understanding the economic impact provided by volunteers is important. From stuffing envelopes to shaping a young person into a contributing adult or helping a peer learn to read, the contributions of volunteers are

endless. There is always a need.

Research shows that people volunteer in youth organizations from a need to serve others, past experiences in the organization, a desire to be a role model, to grow as an individual as well as help others and to affect someone’s future. Similar needs could be related in a variety of other volunteer positions serving in different capacities as well.

Hancock County is abundant with agencies, nonprofits, collaborations and the education system, all always in need of volunteers. If you are looking for an opportunity to get involved, what is the best fit for you?

Every volunteer position is different. It ranges from working a one-night event to serving on boards.

Many of us become volunteers because we are recruited.

Helping out at a school function or assisting with an event because a friend or family member asked are the entries that many people have into an organization.

No matter whether you are recruited or are looking for an opportunity to volunteer, taking some time to identify your interests and availability is an

important part of finding a good fit for your volunteer time.

In youth-serving organizations or other at-risk audiences, such as the elderly or those with special needs, there will be steps to becoming a volunteer. Be prepared to complete applications, supply references, submit background checks and complete training, in many cases.

When becoming a short- or long-term volunteer for an organization, ask questions. Does the group or opportunity meet your needs, what you have time to commit to and what is the job description?

Even if it is a group you are familiar with from the past, policies and missions can change.

You want the right fit for your time.

As a 4-H educator, volunteers are essential to the success of the 4-H program. There is no way the extension office could serve close to 3,000 Hancock County youth without the generous support of volunteers.

Turner is an extension educator, 4-H Youth development, for Ohio State University Extension Service. She can be reached at 419-422-3851 or via email at turner.280@osu.edu.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A lot can change in six weeks.

When the Federal Reserve last met in midSeptember, almost everyone expected it to start reducing the stimulus it’s given the U.S. economy to help it rebound from the Great Recession.

It didn’t. The Fed pulled a surprise by deciding not to slow its $85 billion-amonth in Treasury and mortgage bond purchases. Its bond buying has been intended to keep long-term loan rates low to support the economy.

And now? After a 16-day partial government shutdown and a batch of tepid economic data, no one thinks the Fed will reduce its stimulus when it meets Tuesday and Wednesday.

Many analysts now predict the Fed will maintain the pace of its bond purchases into next year.

Blame the uncertainty surrounding Congress’ budget fight and renewed questions about the economy’s health.

“I think March is now the earliest that any reduction in bond purchases will happen,” said Diane Swonk, chief economist at Mesirow Financial.

By then, Fed members expect to have seen several months of stronger job growth. They also expect Congress to have resolved its budget impasse.

If the Fed does start slowing its stimulus in March, it will have left its policy unchanged not just this week but also at its next meeting in December and at its subsequent meeting in late January. The delay would signal a dimmer economic outlook.

The January meeting will be the last for Chairman Ben Bernanke, who is stepping down after eight years.

President Barack Obama has chosen Vice Chair Janet Yellen to succeed Bernanke.

Assuming that Yellen is confirmed by the Senate, her first meeting as chairman will be in March.

Many economists think no major policy changes will occur before a new chairman takes over.

Congress’ budget fight has clouded the Fed’s timetable. Though the government reopened Oct. 17 and a threatened default on its debt was averted, Congress adopted only temporary fixes.

Consider a healthy kale salad with Thanksgiving meal When it comes to leafy green vegetables, kale has been king for a while.

It boasts more vitamin C than an orange, more calcium than milk, and more iron per calorie than beef.

It also has been the darling of the restaurant world for several years, popping up on menus all over the place.

There’s even been kale backlash, as people said, “Enough kale!”

But I can’t get enough.

Particularly now, when kale is in its prime (it loves the cold).

So I wanted to find a new way to prepare it.

Garlicky kale sauteed

in olive oil? Been there.

Baked kale chips? Done that. In search of a simple recipe that would be manageable for the Thanksgiving table, I was inspired by a kale salad I ate recently at ABC Kitchen, one of my favorite restaurants in New York. Chef Dan Kluger tosses his version with lemon, serrano chilies and mint.

I decided to give mine the Asian treatment, dressing it with soy, sesame oil and rice vinegar.

Kale is available in curly, ornamental and dinosaur varieties.

It was the Italians who gave that last type its name; they thought the bumpy surface of its leaves resembled dinosaur skin.

Generally, smaller leaves are milder in flavor. At the supermarket, look for firm, deeplycolored leaves with firm stems.

You can store kale in an airtight plastic bag in the fridge for up to five days.

There is one problem with raw kale — it’s tough. You can tenderize it by cutting it into thin shreds or, oddly enough, you can massage it. I was always taught to be gentle with greens because they bruise easily, but not kale. Kale is the punching bag of the greens world. You need to beat it into submission if you’re going to eat it raw.

You also need to remove the thick stems.

The easiest way to do this is with a paring knife. One at a time, fold the leaves in half and lay it flat on the cutting surface. Use the knife to slice down along the side of the stem.
