Election board opens, accepts provisional ballots Will E Sanders
Staff Writer wsanders@civitasmedia.com
TROY — Officials with the Miami County Board of Elections opened and accepted provisional ballots cast in the election earlier this month during an emergency meeting Wednesday morning. Of 73 provisional ballots cast the board accepted 58 of them at the meeting, said Drew Higgins, board of elections director. He said the provisional bal-
lots that were not accepted were disqualified for a number of reasons. “They ran the whole gamut,” Higgins said. “Some had their registration canceled, invalid applications, no signatures or a voter that wasn’t registered.” Under state law, provisional ballots can not be opened and tabulated until 10 days have passed from the day of the election. The acceptance of the provisional ballots put to rest the lingering question of whether or not a Fletcher street levy
passed or failed. Once provisional ballots were tallied that issue lost by a total of two votes, so no mandatory recount will be performed. In the state of Ohio a recount is mandatory if the difference in votes is one half of 1 percent. However, should the village of Fletcher request a recount, one will be performed, but the village would need to pay for it. Now the board plans on certifying the election results at their upcoming monthly meeting Friday, which could be interesting due to a tied race for the
third seat of the Bradford Board of Election. The winner of that race is still not known. Carolyn Smith and Stanley Roberts Jr. are vying for that seat, but as it stands now the two are tied. Due to Bradford’s geographic location, voters from Miami, Darke and Shelby counties voted in the election for that race and results had to be compiled from each county, Higgins said. As it stands right now, the race is a tie, and will remain that way, unless provisional bal-
lots from Darke County change the vote total. Provisional ballots cast in Darke County are expected to be opened and accepted today. If a tie remains after that both candidates will be asked to meet one another at the board of election office at 2 p.m. Friday when the winner will be decided by either casting lots or through a coin flip, which is how ties are settled in accordance with state election law. This year’s general election had a voter turnout of 20.7 percent.

TROY — In a dark, late night jam session, Daytrotter recording studio captured unique jam sessions with members of the Gentlemen of the Road band members, including Mumford and Sons, on the Troy High School auditorium stage during their Labor Day tour stop. Sean Moeller, founder of Daytrotter.com’s recording studio session vault, said it was a great experience to travel to Troy from Rock Island, Illinois to capture unique combinations of all the band members on the tour at the high school. The website recently posted a video of Marcus
Mumford and Justin Hayward-Young of their performance at the high school singing “Don’t Think Twice It’s Alright,” which was recorded on Aug. 30 at Troy High School’s auditorium. “There was nobody in the high school — it was totally dead,” Moeller said. “We sneak guys past the barriers and get them up to the school and made some incredible, creative stuff.” Moeller said songs will periodically be released with various singers in various band combinations throughout the next month on the studio’s website. “We’ll have all the audio up by Friday,” Moeller said of the recording session from the tour. Moeller said the infor-
mal recording session was a “off the cuff” ordeal as musicians sneaked away from the stadium stage to the quiet, empty auditorium. “It was like ‘Hey, who wants to come over and do some stuff?’” Moeller said of the GOTR weekend. “We made some really great music happen that weekend.” Moeller said its rare for him to travel on site and artists such as Sheryl Crow and other recording artists usually meet them at their studios located in London, Nashville, Rock Island, Ill., and various other places. “It’s rare for us to go on site like that but we went to the Dixon, Ill.

proved to be the perfect size and in prime location in downtown Piqua. The retailer will offer running and walking shoes, apparel, and accessories, along with nutrition and hydration products. Walking and running groups will also be available all year round and free to the public. “The group runs are an important part of the business, it is something we will offer multiple days and evenings,” said Ryan, while emphasizing walking as a key word as the new business owners do not want anyone to be intimidated by the running aspect of the store rather the focus is encourage anyone with a healthy fitness goal to take part. “We want people to be very comfortable,” said Ryan. “It’s very much a walking and running store.” The speciality shop will also offer gait analysis to check walking and running formation so as to make sure customers find the proper fit in shoes, and will look to partner with other area businesses for health clinics, races, and more. “It’s very important for us to promote a healthy, active lifestyle,” said Ryan, with the Can’t Stop Running Company to be open 7-days a week.

DANIEL W. ROGERS
FREMONT (AP) — An investigation has concluded an accidental, self-inflicted gunshot killed a 19-yearold northern Ohio man whose family challenged a ruling that it was a suicide. State Attorney General Mike DeWine’s office had investigated the March 2012 death of Jacob Limberios and had called a grand jury to consider testimony. Authorities said Wednesday that the grand jury declined to bring charges against anyone in the case. The Sandusky County coroner had ruled the death a suicide but also said the teen might not have known the gun was loaded. His parents fought that ruling and hired their own forensic pathologist to do an autopsy. He concluded the death was a homicide after the teen’s body was exhumed last fall.
FitzGerald picks SW Ohio senator as running mate
COLUMBUS (AP) — Democratic gubernatorial contender Ed FitzGerald has picked a Cincinnati lawyer and state senator well known to President Barack Obama as his running mate as he seeks to unseat Republican Gov. John Kasich in 2014. FitzGerald’s campaign manager Nick Bius confirmed the pick of Sen. Eric Kearney Wednesday. Kearney, who is black, lends both racial and geographic diversity to the top of Democrats’ 2014 ticket. He is expected to help draw votes from Ohio’s heavily Republican southwest region. FitzGerald, of Cleveland, is a former FBI agent and executive of Democrat-dominated Cuyahoga County. Kearney was elected Senate Minority Leader in 2012. He served on the national finance committee of Obama’s 2008 campaign and as a state co-chair. His wife, Jan-Michele, was a Harvard law school classmate of the president.
Speed camera plaintiffs want Ohio judge to rule
CINCINNATI (AP) — People suing a Cincinnatiarea village over speeding tickets generated by a camera system want a judge to rule in their favor without trial, pointing out that he has already compared the camera enforcement to a con game. Their motion for summary judgment was filed Tuesday with Hamilton County Common Pleas Judge Robert Ruehlman. The judge ruled recently that the original 2012 lawsuit can be expanded to all drivers who paid speeding tickets received over the six months before he ordered a halt to Elmwood Place’s camera enforcement in March. The motion states that the facts of the case are clearly on the plaintiffs’ side. It notes that Ruehlman already has said that the village’s speed camera system was like a high-tech version of a con artist card game, describing it as “a scam the motorists can’t win” in his March ruling that the village ordinance was invalid and unenforceable. Ruehlman will hear arguments in the case Dec. 10. Thousands of drivers are seeking refunds totaling of $1.76 million in fines and other charges under the class action lawsuit, which also seeks attorney fees besides a permanent injunction. A message was left Wednesday for an attorney for Elmwood Place. Attorney Mike Allen filed the lawsuit last year for about a dozen plaintiffs, including ticketed motorists and business owners who said the blitz of $105 speeding tickets was chasing away customers. Other Ohio courts, including the state Supreme Court, have upheld use of traffic cameras, and their use has spread across the United States. Supporters say they stretch law enforcement resources to make communities safer. Opponents argue that governments are using them to raise revenues at the expense of motorists’ rights such as due process. The Elmwood Place case helped spur new lawsuits against camera enforcement in the nearby village of New Miami, and in the northern Ohio village of Lucas.
Ohio youth help set cup-stacking challenge record
ELYRIA (AP) — Students at several northeast Ohio schools have helped set a participation record for a cup-stacking exercise that involved more than 500,000 participants from 33 countries this year. The Chronicle-Telegram in Elyria reports the World Sports Stacking Association notified participating schools that a record number of participants took part in the challenge last week. Westwood Middle School physical education teacher Tricia Small says the activity mixed hand-eye coordination and physical exercises for her students. She says the challenge focused on the number of stackers, not the number of cups balanced in rows. The stacking association says participation numbers aren’t finalized but definitely beat the previous record, set last year with just under 484,000. The association has repeatedly partnered with The Guinness Book of World Records on the cup-stacking challenge.

Ohioan sentenced after malnourished boy’s death
SANDUSKY (AP) — The grandmother of a malnourished 18-month-old boy who died in northern Ohio was sentenced to two years in prison after pleading guilty to child endangerment, according to court documents filed Wednesday. Debra Nelson had served as a home care nurse for the boy and some of his siblings. Nelson, also listed as Deborah in some court records, had pleaded guilty to endangerment and failing to provide for a functionally impaired person. “She watched her grandchildren waste away,” social worker Amanda Siesel said at Nelson’s sentencing hearing Monday, according to The Sandusky Register. “She did not uphold her duties as a grandmother and nurse.” Nelson acknowledged shortcomings. “I know what I’ve done is wrong,” she told the court. She has given up her nursing license, according to court records. Her grandson Isaac Brothers-Bartholomew died of malnutrition and dehydration last November at his family’s home near Vermilion, roughly 30 miles west of Cleveland. His mother told authorities he had had gastrointestinal problems and other medical concerns. Investigators said the boy hadn’t seen a doctor in months. The other children were removed, and four were treated for malnutrition. Nelson’s lawyer has said some of the children had genetic conditions that caused physical disabilities and medical problems that overwhelmed the family. Nelson, 62, told the court she had sought to persuade her son to stop having children as they tried to address the youngsters’ health concerns. “I did my best, that’s all I can say,” she said. The children’s parents, James Brothers and Adrienne Bartholomew, also each pleaded guilty to multiple child endangerment charges, and they were sentenced earlier this month. Involuntary manslaughter and other charges were dismissed under the plea deal. Bartholomew was sentenced to three years in prison, with some credit for time already served. Brothers was sentenced to five years in prison plus almost a year in jail, with credit for more than seven months served.
Opponents decry Ohio ‘stand your ground’ proposal
COLUMBUS (AP) — Opponents of a gun bill in Ohio that includes a “stand your ground” self-defense proposal say they’re jamming the governor’s phone lines in hopes that he’ll take their side. Democratic state lawmakers, including those in the black caucus, anti-gun groups, student and religious organizations decried the legislation as dangerous Wednesday ahead of its likely passage in the Ohio House. State Rep. Alicia Reese says opponents have demonstrated, petitioned and barraged Republican Gov. John Kasich with calls. They oppose broadening circumstances where force, rather than retreat, would be lawful. George Zimmerman’s acquittal in the 2012 Florida shooting death of unarmed teen Trayvon Martin sparked national debate over such measures, which Ohio opponents say would increase the chances of violence against black teens dressing and acting as teens do.
Wendy’s sells more restaurants to franchisee
NEW YORK (AP) — Wendy’s says it plans to sell 54 restaurants in the Salt Lake City area to a franchise operator as part of its push to unload more of its company-run locations. The move is a continuation of Wendy’s plan to sell 425 of its company-operated restaurants to franchise operators. Fast-food chains including McDonald’s and Burger King typically own a small percentage of their locations in the U.S. That lets them instead rely on fees and royalties from franchisees, a business model that comes with lower costs and spreads risk. Before the push began, Wendy’s says about 22 percent of its locations were company-owned. The goal is to reduce that figure to 15 percent. The latest sale is to NPC International, which has more than 1,200 restaurants, including 37 Wendy’s in two states. Financial terms were not disclosed. To date, Wendy’s Co. says it has sold or agreed to sell 172 of its restaurants as part of the push. The company, based in Dublin, Ohio, has more than 6,500 locations, primarily in North America.
Body in SW Ohio park identified as exotic dancer
VANDALIA (AP) — A southwest Ohio coroner’s investigation has determined that a badly decomposed body found in a park is that of a 20-year-old exotic dancer missing for weeks. The Dayton Daily News reports that Montgomery County coroner’s office director Ken Betz says a forensic dentist helped confirm the identity of Ana Marie Spradling. Her remains were found Monday by county employees working in a sewer line at Art Van Atta Park in Vandalia. The Eaton, Ohio, woman had been missing since late September. Authorities have said they found hair and clothing believed to be from Spradling at the scene of an apparent attack in Eaton, west of Dayton. Investigations are ongoing.

Writer seeks answers for great-nephew’s death Gary Felver Guest Columnist
Is our moral compass broken? God has given us the ability to determine the difference between right and wrong. Most laws are written with a moral background, which came from God’s word. Some examples are: do not lie, do not steal, do not commit adultery, and do not kill. God has also given us the ability of free will. We have the choice to decide to do the right thing, or to choose not to. On March 3, 2006, there were five adults at the home where my great-nephew, Logan Hess, was being abused. I believe all five adults chose to ignore the truth. When questioned by police they all told the same lie. Their moral compass was broken. One of the five adults was responsible for abusing Logan, and at least one of the other four adults knows the truth about what happened the week before his death. Logan was only two and a half years old when he died due to complications from being abused. Today, Nov. 21, 2013, would have been Logan’s 10th birthday. Justice still has not been served for his death. As I have said in the previous letters, justice will never be served unless one of the five adults present at 905 Park Avenue speaks out against the person responsible for Logan’s death. I have a grandson that just turned two years old. I never knew such joy before. I could spend all day with him, watching him play and enjoy life. I used to watch Logan the same way. His smile and chubby cheeks were a delight to see. This makes me understand the loss my sister felt, and still feels, for the loss of her first grandchild. When my children were younger I helped coach their sports teams. Spring and early summer were spent at the ball fields, and winter was spent in the school gymnasium. Logan’s father, Dewayne Hess, never

had a chance to coach his son. The fathers that are reading this article realize the pride and satisfaction that Dewayne missed out on. There were no fly-balls caught, home runs, slides into second base, jump shots, foul shots, and of course fouls. It would not be a youth basketball game without a good slap on the arm, or push into the bleachers. A line from Casting Crown’s song “While you were sleeping” states, “we’re sung to sleep by philosophies that save the trees and kill the children.” This shows where our moral compass is pointing. It is pointed toward the world and away from the love for a child. Too many mothers are worried more about their love life than loving their child. The child’s safety and welfare should be the mother’s number one priority. There is a lot of emphasis put on animal abuse by the media and animal rights groups. How many commercials do you see about animal abuse on any given weekend? How many young lives could be saved if this money would be spent informing the public about child abuse? The sad eyes of the dogs and cats in pain could be replaced by a child’s tears, bruises and cries for help. I am not condoning animal abuse; I am merely showing that a child’s life is more important. If a person is found guilty of animal abuse their pet is taken from them permanently. A child is returned to their parents the majority of the time. How is this protecting the child? Each one of us has a conscience. When our conscience is bothering us our moral compass is probably askew. I would like to end by asking these five adults where their moral compass is pointing. Is your conscience bothering you? If it is, the phone number to the Piqua Police Department is 937-7782027. Happy birthday, Logan. Gary Felver of Piqua is Logan’s greatuncle.

WASHINGTON (AP) — In a shift in attitude, most young people now say it’s wrong to use racist or sexist slurs online, even if you’re just kidding. But when they see them, they don’t take much personal offense. A majority of teens and young adults who use the Internet say they at least sometimes see derogatory words and images targeting various groups. They often dismiss that stuff as just joking around, not meant to be hurtful, according to a new poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research and MTV. Americans ages 14 to 24 say people who are overweight are the most frequent target, followed by gay people. Next in line for online abuse: blacks and women. “I see things like that all the time,” says Vito Calli, 15, of Reading, Pa. “It doesn’t really bother me unless they’re meaning it to offend me personally.” Even then he tries to brush it off. Calli, whose family emigrated from Argentina, says people tease him online with jokes about Hispanics, but “you can’t let those things get to you.” He’s typical of many young people surveyed. The majority say they aren’t very offended by slurs in social media or cellphone text messages — even such inflammatory terms as “bitch” or “fag” or the N-word. Yet like Calli, most think using language that insults a group of people is wrong. The high school sophomore says he has tried, with difficulty, to break his habit of calling anything uncool “gay” or “retarded.” Compared with an AP-MTV poll two years ago, young people today are more disapproving of using slurs online. Nearly 6 in 10 say using discriminatory words or images isn’t all right, even as a joke. Only about half were so disapproving in 2011. Now, a bare majority say it’s wrong to use slurs even among friends who know you don’t mean it. In the previous poll, most young people said that was OK. But the share who come across slurs online has held steady. More than half of young users of YouTube, Facebook and gaming communities such as Xbox Live and Steam say they sometimes or often encounter biased messages on those platforms. Why do people post or text that stuff? To be funny, according to most young people who see it. Another big reason: to be cool. Less than a third said a major reason people use slurs is because they actually harbor hateful feelings toward the groups they are maligning. “Most of the time they’re just joking around, or talking about a celebrity,” Jeff Hitchins, a white 24-year-old in Springfield, Pa., said about the insulting references to blacks, women and gays that he encounters on the Vine and Instagram image-sharing sites. “Hate speech is becoming so commonplace, you forget where the words are coming from, and they actually hurt people without even realizing it.”

Ohio court upholds firing in school Bible case Kantele Franko Associated Press
COLUMBUS (AP) — A public school district was legally justified in firing a science instructor who refused to remove religious materials from his classroom, a divided Ohio Supreme Court said Tuesday in a ruling that stopped short of addressing issues the case raised about the teaching of creationism and intelligent design. With three justices dissenting, the court ruled the Mount Vernon district had grounds to fire John Freshwater in 2011 for insubordination for keeping religious books
and a poster of a praying president. “Freshwater is fully entitled to an ardent faith in Jesus Christ and to interpret Biblical passages according to his faith. But he was not entitled to ignore direct, lawful edicts of his superiors while in the workplace,” Chief Justice Maureen O’Connor wrote in the lead opinion, which affirmed lower court rulings. Freshwater’s Virginiabased attorney, Rita Dunaway, said she was disappointed but couldn’t comment further because she hadn’t talked with Freshwater about the decision or possible next

the court didn’t need to address the extent to which Freshwater had the right to push his religious beliefs in class because the insubordination alone was enough to justify his firing. A lawyer for the school board had said Freshwater waved a Bible at his students, distributed religious pamphlets and talked about creationism in evolution lessons, violating the constitutional separation between church and state. Messages were left Tuesday for the superintendent and attorneys for the school district, about 40 miles northeast of Columbus.
Dunaway had argued that accounts of Freshwater’s conduct were exaggerated and that he was exercising academic freedom to explore controversial ideas. Freshwater was dismissed after investigators reported he preached Christian beliefs in class when discussing topics such as evolution and homosexuality and didn’t remove religious materials as ordered. He also was accused of using a science tool to burn students’ arms with the image of a cross, but that allegation was resolved and wasn’t listed as a factor in his firing.

ministers would do so. Abdel-Basit B oum Zariq, deputy head of a human rights commission set up by the Misrata city council, hinted at retaliation, denouncing the push against the Misrata militia as a “counterrevolution.” “What is happening is the old regime is coming back in new clothes,” he said. “We believe that Tripoli needs to be liberated again.” There is a worrying precedent for militia backlash. Last year, protesters marched against militias in the eastern city of Benghazi, after an attack on a U.S. diplomatic mission in the city killed the U.S. ambassador and three other Americans. Since that time, Benghazi — Libya’s second largest city — has seen constant violence and lawlessness, with frequent assassinations, car bombings and kidnappings. As the Misrata mili-
tia began its withdrawal from the capital, Libya’s deputy intelligence chief Mustafa Nouh was released Monday, a day after he was abducted by gunmen as he was leaving the airport in the capital, Tripoli, a security official said, speaking on condition of anonymity in line with regulations. It was unclear who had abducted Nouh, whose family is originally from Misrata. Lawmaker Asmaa Saraiba said there was a push in parliament to cut off government salaries for militias immediately — a move the government had promised to take in December, though there was skepticism it would dare take a step likely to anger the armed groups. “It’s too early to tell whether the government will be able to impose security,” said Saraiba. “What we are seeing is that there is a lack of political will.” 40044564
tion and gunbattles in the streets. Misrata, Libya’s third largest city, is not the only city with a militia arm in the capital. Tripoli has been divided up into fiefdoms between rival militias from different cities and towns. For example, the main militia of the western city of Zintan — which was the first to sweep into the capital to oust Gadhafi — still has a powerful presence in Tripoli. The militias often justify their role by arguing they are the “protectors” of the revolution and that they paid the price during the civil war with thousands killed and wounded, while Tripoli failed to rise up against Gadhafi. In reaction to public anger, Misrata’s city council decided to withdraw its armed groups from Tripoli but also called on ministers from the city to leave the central government in protest. It was not immediately clear if the

TRIPOLI, Libya (AP) — Libya’s military swept into the capital Monday with dozens of pickup trucks mounted with anti-aircraft guns in an operation to drive out militiamen, met by a warm welcome from Libyans seething with anger against the numerous armed groups running rampant in the country. Libya is seeing its strongest public uproar yet against militias, which have fueled lawlessness nationwide since the 2011 fall of longtime leader Moammar Gadhafi. The heavily armed groups, some of them led by Islamic extremist commanders, have defied control by the weak central government, carving out fiefdoms, acting as a law unto themselves, and imposing their control. But the move to rein in militias risks detonating an explosive backlash leading to outright battles between rival militias. Since many of the militias are rooted in specific cities and act as arms of political groups, any violence could pit city against city in this already fragmented nation. Monday’s sweep was the most assertive yet by the military, but the government’s armed forces and police remain weak and rely on allied militias for firepower. Drivers honked their horns and flashed V-for-victory signs in a show of support as the troops moved in, set up checkpoints and roamed the streets. On mobile phone messages and through TV networks, the Defense Ministry urged people to support the army. It was not clear where the troops came from or why were not they deployed before. Essam a l - Na a s , spokesman of the Joint Operation Room, a security body under
services such as bakeries, gas stations and hospitals. “What we are witnessing is like a difficult labor,” lawyer and Tripoli resident al-Mahdi Ihmaid said of the new anti-militia push. “But if the government doesn’t make it this time, this could turn to another Iraq.” He said Tripoli protesters plan to march on more militia encampments in the city and there is a general call to topple the government and parliament because of ties to militias, particularly among Islamic factions in parliament like the Muslim Brotherhood. Gomaa al-Mashri, a security expert and former police officer, said he expects violence. But, he said, the popular uproar “will sweep out the government, the parliament and the militias all together and Libyans will start all over again.” “The country is moving into the right direction. But this is the price we have to pay,” he said. Libya’s militias originated in the “revolutionary” brigades that fought against Gadhafi’s forces in the 2011 civil war. Since Gadhafi’s ouster and death, they have refused to disarm and have grown in size and power. Too weak to disarm the militias, the military, police and government have tried to co-opt them, paying them to take on security roles such as guarding districts, facilities, and even polling stations during elections. But the policy has backfired, empowering the militias. They continue to act as armed vigilantes with their own interests, sometimes turning political feuds into armed conflicts. They have become notorious for imposing their own laws in areas under their control — including strict Islamic rules — as well as engaging in kidnappings, extor-

the prime minister, said that as the military deployed, militias from the western city of Misrata, withdrew from four districts of the capital and returned to their city. Police forces also vowed to deploy around the city to keep security. Sporadic gunfire was heard in eastern Tripoli, in an area called Wadi al-Rabie, when members of the Misrata militia fired on a Tripoli-based militia that was demanding they surrender their weapons before leaving, al-Naas said. There was no immediate report of casualties. The army’s move came as the United States on Monday announced it would train up to 8,000 Libyan soldiers, aiming to bolster the military. In Washington, Defense Department spokesman Col. Steve Warren said the U.S. will train the troops in Bulgaria on basic, general purpose skills. Libyans’ anger was stoked when militiamen opened fire Friday on an anti-militia protest in Tripoli, killing at least 43 people. Protesters were demanding the removal of militias, raising signs reading, “The tyrant was killed and we won’t accept new tyrants.” The militia’s commander told local TV stations that there was a “third party” which opened fire to turn people against the militias. The next day, another militia attacked a military base, sparking clashes that left four dead. The violence prompted a three-day strike in Tripoli by residents to show anger at the militias and prompt the government to act. Anger at the government and lawmakers has risen as well among Libyans who say they are implicated with militias and have not done enough to rein them in. On Monday, the second day of the strike, the city was quiet and only essential

New teacher loves PHS environment Faith Branson Staff Writer
Alex Kowal is one of the new special education teachers. Kowal graduated from Archbishop Alter High School. He attended college at BGSU where his major was special education. When Kowal isn’t busy with teaching he enjoys playing different sports, reading, fishing, and golf. So far he loves the environment at PHS, and the fact that there is always someone with whom he can talk. Kowal finds the staff at PHS to be very friendly; if there is a problem, whether it’s him or another student, the staff is always happy to help Kowal as much as they can. Kowal choose teaching as a career because he was interested in helping young people on their path or through the course of their high school careers. His favorite part about teaching is that moment when students get it. He said, “When they understand something you are trying to explain, it’s like a lightbulb goes off.” When Kowal was younger he said, “My dream job was to be a fishing guy.” But now his future goal is to “just have his students succeed.” He wants to give a base to help them get ready for life.

Don’t sleep on these Cavs BY: JOHN HUSA The air is colder, the leaves are falling, and it is time for Lehman sports to head inside. The Lehman girls’ basketball team is preparing for what they hope will be a successful season. The Cavaliers are led by seven seniors: Julia Harrelson, Madeline Franklin, Katie Heckman, Jenna Kronenberger, Jordi Emrick, Allie Sowers, and Selty Zhong. The two juniors are Ava Schmitz and Brooke Jones. The sophomores include Emmalea Rego, Kassie Lee, Marianne Hissong, Sara Fuller, and Allie Hall. This year’s freshmen are Hannah Fogt, Sidney Chapman, Jenna Zimmerman, Grace Burton, Lexie Caulfield, and Katie Edwards. Last year the Cavaliers had just enough players for a varsity team, but this year the numbers are up and it looks great! On top of that, the Cavaliers have all players returning from last year’s team, and have some helpful additions. With an older, more experienced team this season, the ladies are looking to turn some heads. Senior Julia Harrelson said, “We have many talented underclassmen and a great group of seniors to lead the team. I think we are going to surprise a lot of people, and I definitely think we will be worth watching.” Fellow senior Jenna Kronenberger said, “I am pumped for this year! With the numbers and talent we have, I think we will do very well.” The Cavaliers are confident and ready, as they have improved their numbers and are working hard. This looks to be a promising year for the ladies, and should be an exciting season. Don’t sleep on the Lady Cavs this year, as they begin their season on November 22.
Giving back
BY: GRACE FRANTZ Throughout the year here at Lehman the students take part in many activities to give back to the community. Monthly “jeans days” are one opportunity to donate money towards various causes. Students also volunteer, tutor, donate blood, and help out various charities. One annual event that we have is a Thanksgiving food drive. This year, the drive ran from November 114. Students were encouraged to provide any nonperishable food item or a monetary donation. The items that were donated will be distributed to The Bethany Center in Piqua, The Alpha Center Soup Kitchen in Sidney, and The Saint Patrick’s Church Soup Kitchen in Troy. The service project was organized by the school’s National Honor Society. On average every year we have collected over 500 items that have filled many cars to make their way to their respective donation site.

This years’ senior class will be going down to Bergamo retreat center in Dayton along with eight junior leaders. Since the Kairos retreat is a peer-led experience, this year’s leaders trained last year as juniors. The junior leaders who will lead their the 2015 class retreat next year include four boys and four girls. To be selected as a leader, the interested junior must fill out an application that is read by Mr. Joe Schmiesing, Religion teacher and retreat advisor. Schmiesing and a group of Lehman faculty members select the juniors who they feel will lead the class in the best possible way. This year the junior leaders are Ben Montgomery, John Schmiesing, Dylan Sherman, Travis Thornton, Brooke Jones, Kaitlin Gillman, Maria Pannapara, and Ava Schmitz. When asked about being chosen, Sherman said, “Yes, I am excited to find out what it is all about.” There is some mystery about Kairos as the students do not know everything that is being planned by the leaders but this is what makes the experience great.

n Piqua bowlers open season
MIAMISBURG — The Piqua girls bowling team defeated Miamisburg in the season opener, while the boys lost. Piqua won the girls match 2,007-1,677. “Our spare shooting was not very good during our baker games tonight with games of 140 and 150,” Piqua girls coach Jon Allen said. “I am happy with our team performance, considering we did not have a match result over 2,000 pins all last season. I was not sure how the team would respond with three returning varsity bowlers — we could have slipped — but, they proved me wrong tonight.” Hayley Ryan had games of 179 and 215 for a 394 series to lead Piqua. Alycia Davidson had a 186 game, while Brooke Kiefer had games of 167 and 179 for a 346 series. Haley Huebner and Alaina Mikolajewski rolled games of 173, while Sarah Ganger added a 170. The boys lose 2,315-2,100. Alex Thobe rolled a 215 to lead Piqua. Joe Wirt had a 181 and Travis Smith added a 192. “The guys came out nervous this eventing, but improved dramatically after the first set,” Piqua coach Craig Miller said. “The baker games were even better with games of 212 and 201. I am very proud of how this team never gave up and how they didn’t get down on themselves. As their new coach this year, I’m really excited about this group of young men.” Piqua will be back in action Tuesday, hosting Northmont at Brel-Aire Lanes.

Browns must move on quickly Steelers visit Sunday for rivalry game
BEREA (AP) — Browns quarterback Jason Campbell has learned that once Sunday’s over, Sunday’s over. Win or lose, good or bad, strong performance or forgettable one, there’s only one way to survive in the NFL. “You’ve got to move on,” he said. Cleveland can’t afford to dwell on its curious loss in Cincinnati. At least the Browns had better not. It’s Steelers Week, and that’s no time to lose focus. Three days after their stranger-than-fiction loss to the Bengals, the Browns (4-6) began practicing for their bitter rival. They’re still searching for answers to what happened during the second quarter at Paul Brown Stadium. After taking a quick 13-0 lead, the Browns botched two punts, had a fumble returned for a touchdown and gave up 31 straight points in 15 minutes on the way to a disheartening 41-20 loss. “You have games where everything just seems not to be going right for us and that’s just one of those games that happened on Sunday,” Campbell said. “The whole day was weird. Even the flight was weird. It was just one of those days that happened. You move on.” Campbell threw three interceptions, an outing that partially erased the positive vibes he created with strong games in consecutive weeks against Kansas City and Baltimore. But the nine-year veteran never got into a rhythm against the Bengals and must now bounce back against the Steelers (4-6), who have recovered nicely from a 0-4 start. Campbell knows the Browns have to block out any recent memories, painful as they may be. “You can look at it two ways,” he said. “What happened Sunday is over. You can bounce back this Sunday and come out and play great, or you can con-

tinue to hang your hat on that and come out and be flat. I think with us being in the race right now at 4-6 with a lot of other teams, we need to put this one quickly behind us.” Campbell’s right, of course. But there was a sense in Cleveland’s locker room Wednesday that the loss in Cleveland’s most significant game since 2007 is lingering. “It was tough,” said wide receiver Davone Bess. “It’s been a while Cleveland had something to play for this late in the year, and we let slip through our hands. Give Cincinnati credit. They’re a good team. They won the game. The better team won on Sunday.” To keep their playoff hopes alive, the Browns need much more from Campbell against the Steelers, who have won 11 of the last 14 games in Cleveland and are 24-5 vs. their AFC North neighbors since 1999. This hasn’t been a real rivalry in years. Making his third start this
season, Campbell finished 27 of 56 for 248 yards with one TD and the three picks. Campbell said bruised ribs suffered two weeks earlier against the Ravens weren’t an issue. He offered no excuses. Campbell knows the only way to distance himself from the poor game is to have a better one. “You look around the league and you see guys that will play great three or four weeks and then they’ll have a rough one,” he said. “It’s all about bouncing back the next week. You can’t live in the past. Even in your life, you can’t live in the past. You’ve always got to look toward the future. Your past can help you, but if you hang onto it, it can hurt you.” Campbell replayed the Bengals game in his head over 10 times, and it never got better. He spent two days being hard on himself, but is now looking ahead. He has to. “I really was hurt by the out-
come because it was a game I felt like we had a chance to win and put ourselves in a really good position,” he said. “And the fact that it didn’t happen, what can you do about it now but learn from it and move on. It was just one of those weird games, but it’s quickly got to be done and behind you. “This is a new week, a new opportunity. If you can get on a streak here, you can look back at that game and say it made us a stronger and better team.” Browns coach Rob Chudzinski has no doubt Campbell will bounce back. “Just seeing him, being around him, knowing what he’s made of,” Chudzinski said. “Also, just looking at his past and all of the things that he’s battled back from, and he has the experience of doing that. That’s what really defines quarterbacks in this league, because they’re going to go through some rough stretches and some have some rough games.”
Johnson gives Bengals big tip Detours Browns touchdown pass
CINCINNATI (AP) — Greg Little broke free of the coverage as he ran along the front of the end zone. All Cleveland quarterback Jason Campbell had to do was lob the ball his way. Whap! It never got past the line of scrimmage. Another quarterback had failed to escape the long arms of the Bengals’ Michael Johnson. The 6-foot-7 defensive end has batted down five passes this season, according to STATS, but none of his swats has been more prominent than the ones last Sunday during a 41-20 victory over Cleveland. The Bengals (7-4) came away in control of the AFC North heading into their bye week. Getting the ball past Johnson and 6-foot-6 Carlos Dunlap on the other end of Cincinnati’s line is a tall order. “Sometimes you get it and a lot of times you don’t,” Johnson said. “The percentage is a lot lower of getting it than not getting it. Sometimes you can feel it grazing (a hand) and know you could have gotten a lot more
on it.” He’s gotten enough of them to make a difference. Johnson’s total of five passes batted down at the line ranks second in the NFL to Connor Barwin’s six for Philadelphia, according to STATS. The Bengals have batted down 10 overall, tied for sixth in the league. That doesn’t include the number of passes redirected at the line. Johnson had both on Sunday. The Browns had a chance to go up 7-0 when Little got open on a third-and-goal play. Johnson got his left hand up at the last instant to bat down the pass and force a field goal. His back was to the receiver, so he didn’t realize he’d prevented a touchdown until he got to the sideline. “I came to the sideline and everybody was excited,” Johnson said. “I just thought it was a tipped pass. I didn’t know somebody was wide open. Just turned out like that. We got each other’s back like that.” He had a large hand in the Bengals’

first touchdown as well, slightly tipping Campbell’s pass late in the first quarter with the Browns up 13-0. The deflected throw went to linebacker James Harrison for an interception that set up Cincinnati’s first score in a 31-point second quarter. “It changed the whole momentum of the game,” cornerback Adam “Pacman” Jones said. “Signs of a good team: working together to be great.” The Bengals thought Johnson would develop into a disruptive pass rusher when they drafted him in the third round out of Georgia Tech in 2009. He had his best season in 2012, getting 11½ sacks, second on the team to Geno Atkins’ 12½. The Bengals designated him their franchise player in the offseason. With Atkins out for the season with a torn knee ligament, Johnson came through with his best game Sunday. He batted or tipped three passes, forced a fumble, sacked Campbell once and picked off a deflected pass. Johnson was a basketball star at Dallas County High School in Alabama, averaging 16 points and 10 rebounds as a junior forward. “I played on the perimeter,” Johnson said. “I would go down and get a few rebounds. They wanted me near the rim.” He’d developed a knack for getting his hands on the football as well. “You rush and try to beat your guy,” Johnson said. “You see him getting ready to throw and get your hands up. Most have to look when they finally decide where they’re going to throw the ball. And if they look in my direction, the ball is probably coming that way. “When you do that, good things happen.” Notes: The Eagles lead the NFL with 15 passes batted down at the line, according to STATS. The Cardinals are second at 14. The Broncos, Vikings and Chiefs have batted down 12. The Bengals, Rams and Bears have 10 each. … The Bengals signed DT Christo Bilukidi on Wednesday. He was Oakland’s sixth-round pick in 2012 and played in 13 games. The Raiders waived him on Oct. 23. … They released DT Kheeston Randall, a second-year player from Texas who had signed on Nov. 5 and didn’t play in either of the last two games.

Fox says thanks for successful day
5K walk at Echo benefits Wounded Warriors On Saturday November 9th, Echo Hills golf course held its second annual 5 K walk to honor our veterans and to benefit the Wounded Warriors Project. I need to thank a few people and businesses that helped make this a great day. First I would like to thank the City of Piqua for allowing me to use Echo Hills golf course. I would like to thank our own local media, Rob Kiser and the Piqua Daily Call for helping me get the word out. A big thank you goes out to Benny Scott of McDonalds for donating coffee and to Piqua’s Kroger store for donating fruit and water. Thank you to the Echo Hills golf board who do-
nated T- shirts to all the participants and as always a big thank you to Scott and Gail Reardon and Lindsey Wagner of Atlantis Sports Wear Inc. for making such a great Tshirt. Thank you to Hartzell Hardwoods, Inc. and Miami Valley Steel Service, Inc. for your kind donations. Those that walked in the 5 K got to see the golf course decorated in American flags all along the way which were donated by Kathy Henne of Re/Max Finest. The 5 K walk went so smoothly only for the fact I had great help in Marsha Garrett, Jody Toopes and Susan Spiers all from Piqua Family Practice. I would like to give a double
thank you to Rene Copsey for all the great art work on the signage. A special thank you goes to Cindy Pearson who has made this walk a great success once again. Successful it was because I was able to send $2,200 to the Wounded Warriors Project. So thank you Cindy and thank you to all the names mentioned above and to all who walked in this years 5K walk. Lastly I want to thank all the Veterans and all the men and women serving our country today. See all of Piqua on November 8, 2014 for the third annual 5 K walk.
COLUMBUS (AP) — Amir Williams scored a career-high 16 points and Shannon Scott added 13 to lead No. 8 Ohio State to a 63-52 victory over American University on Wednesday night. The Buckeyes (4-0) struggled all night to make shots, finishing 20 of 56 from the field for 36 percent. Scott tied a career best with nine rebounds. Jesse Reed scored 15 points, Tony Wroblicky had 14 and Darius Gardner 10 for the Eagles (1-2). The Buckeyes were coming off an impressive 52-35 win over No. 17 Marquette in Milwaukee on Saturday. The 35 points were the fewest the Buckeyes have ever allowed against a ranked opponent. Up by five points at the break Wednesday despite having difficulty making shots, the Buckeyes stepped it up in the second half. Scott got things going with a steal and a layup in the opening seconds. Then Scott came off a pick by Williams and tossed an alley-oop pass back to Williams for a dunk to start a 5-0 run that pushed the lead to 10 points for the first time. Lenzelle Smith Jr., starting his 79th consecutive game, hit a foul shot before Williams made a lefthanded hook for a 37-27 advantage. The Eagles got it down to six points.

UD beats Tech
In Atlanta, Devin Oliver and Jordan Sibert each scored 20 points, Vee Sanford added 15 and Dayton beat Georgia Tech 82-72 on Wednesday night. Dayton (4-0) maximized its chances on Georgia Tech's 19 miscues to outscore the Yellow Jackets 33-6 on turnovers. Sibert, a junior transfer from Ohio State, began his career at Dayton with a buzzer-beating 3 that gave the Flyers a victory over
Indiana-Purdue Fort Wayne in the opener. Sibert's 3 to score his 15th point put Dayton ahead 34-30 with 3:17 left in the first. Facing former coach Brian Gregory — now in his third season at Georgia Tech, for the first time — the Flyers got off to a difficult start. They missed seven of their first eight 3-point attempts and trailed by nine points midway through the first half.
