‘Guardian angels’ providing support for 30 years Sharon Semanie

CASSTOWN — This Thanksgiving season has special meaning for 61-year-old Jeanetta Combs who, despite suffering from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and emphysema, is surrounded by a group of “guardian angels” who routinely monitor her terminal illness and ensure that her medical and personal needs are being met. Nearly one year ago, the Casstown woman was hospitalized for breathing problems and sent home after being told by her physician that nothing else could be done to improve her quality of life. Functioning with a 15 percent lung capacity,
the widowed Combs was immediately placed under the care of Hospice of Miami County, a vital hospice organization whose mission is to improve the quality of life for people and families facing life limiting illnesses. By the time the ambulance pulled into her driveway, Combs was impressed to find Hospice had already assembled a hospital bed, oxygen machine and other medical equipment on the premises. “It (Hospice) scared me initially,” reminisced Combs.” My thought was when they come it doesn’t happen until you’re about gone.” Hospice, she quickly adds, has been” terrific” in providing her care since her hospital discharge. Nowadays Combs’ sole restriction is an oxygen tank,
an appendage she has worn for the past decade following years of exposure to what she attributes as workplace “hazards” and smoking. Attractively coiffed with a pixieish haircut and well manicured nails, the great-grandmother admits she becomes easily fatigued but has found immeasurable comfort from Tammy, her primary nurse, who together with a team of Hospice staff and volunteers, visit her several times per week to check her vital signs, ensure she has adequate medications and/or refills, attend to her personal hygiene needs and provide her with loving emotional support. She routinely meets with a Hospice physician “face to face” when See ANGELS | 2

Stockings for Soldiers are on their way PIQUA —A brisk Friday morning greeted the partners MelcherSowers Funeral Home and Gover Harley-Davidson as they prepared to ship stockings to soldiers as part of an initiative originally begun by the funeral home in 2010. In the first year Melcher-Sowers facilitated the Stockings for Soldiers program which included promotion within the community, collec-

tion of the donations, preparing the packages and shipping. Gover HarleyDavidson came into the picture during the annual Hero Day when MelcherSowers visited so as to encourage people to take a stocking to fill and return. In 2011, MelcherSowers then approached Gover to ask if they wanted to become full partners in the stockings for soldiers effort, with an immediate response of “Yes!” Now both businesses are pick-up and drop off points for the stockings. The collaborative pair reached out other organizations such as the American Legion, Kiwanis, Rotary, and other businesses to help pay for the shipping expense which is usually over $1,000 depending on how many boxes are sent. One year the students of Piqua Catholic school made Christmas cards to put in each stocking. Another year See STOCKINGS | 2

PIQUA — A good deed often has a rolling ball effect and this one begins with long-time Piqua resident, Stu Shear, donating his 1997 Chevy Monte Carlo to the Upper Valley Career Center automotive department. “I got the car new,” said Shear of the vehicle with 190,000 miles that was still in good shape and had given him, “many good years of travel for work and play.” The decision to donate the car to the school as a project to potentially reward a student proved to be a simple occasion. Shear approached Donald Wawsczyk, auto services instructor, about the process that consisted of little more than signing over the title. After 5 minutes to complete the paperwork that will go before the school board for approval, a letter will be sent thanking him for the donation. For Shear, however, giving the car to the school proved there’s more to the story. “When I dropped the car off, I was amazed at the interior of the facility,” said Shear as he explained how some of the students came out to check on the Monte Carlo and were impressed to find the nearly 17 year old
car in such good working condition. An impression for Shear was expressed in return by the cleanliness and orderliness of the educational environment at the Career Center. “Students learn far more automotive repair skills than when I went to school in the late 1960’s,” said Shear. In fact, a large variety of programs are offered at Upper Valley Career Center, including design and digital print technologies, horticulture and landscape management, pre-engineering and design technologies, to name a few. With donations such as Shear’s an important key factor to the success behind many of them. Thanks to Terry Krogman, instructional supervisor, who works closely with all kinds of donations made to the school, the Daily Call was given an opportunity to see many of the rewarding opportunities and other donations, such as Shear’s Monte Carlo. An impending project the former owner hopes to see to conclusion. “It would be kind of neat if they rehab the car and then they go to give it to a student,” said Shear. “I’d kind of like to see it when they get done with it.” Stay tuned …

he visits her at home. This past week Hospice volunteer Cathy Brown of Troy, a retired school teacher, arrived at Jeanetta’s home to introduce herself and assess what housekeeping chores might be needed. Brown, who has served as a Hospice volunteer since 1996, suggested that several additional volunteers besides herself could be available to help vacuum floors and do whatever tasks Combs identified. “Do you own your own vacuum and cleaning supplies?“ asked Brown, as she assessed Jeanetta‘s needs.. “Yes,“ replied Jeanetta, adding “I’m hoping you’ll have to put up with me for a long, long time.” Seated at the kitchen table, the visitor commented on the beauty of the red roses which sat in a nearby bud vase. Jeanetta smiled and replied “They kinda cheer me up. I cried when I received them.” Hospice, she explained, delivers them monthly as part of its “petals of sunshine” program. Jeanetta, whose boxer dog, Lucy, serves as a constant companion and protector, gives kudos to Hospice for its exemplary care and support. “I really love them all,” she began. “I find them to be very comforting, personable and they always come whenever I need them.” Retired after working as a former painter in a machine shop and as a hairdresser, Jeanetta says she continues to “take each day as it comes” and describes Hospice as her “lifeline.” Hospice of Miami County is currently celebrating its 30th anniversary, according to Executive Director Linda A. Daniel. Providing a team-oriented approach, the non-for-profit hospice organization is dedicated to “providing the finest quality, compassionate care to those facing the end of life.” Within Miami County, the Hospice services include pain and symptom management, and emotional and spiritual support “specifically tailored to the patient’s needs and wishes.” A team is assembled to address the individual aspects of care needed by patients and their families and include physicians, nurses, psychologists, pharmacists, pastoral caregivers, social workers, ancillary health care providers, volunteers and family members. And, according to Daniel, Hospice of Miami County is not just confined to
patients in skilled nursing facilities or hospitals. Services are extended to patients confined to their homes or apartment. Along with their clinical expertise, Hospice also provides myriad grief support programs through its Generations of Life Community Resource Bereavement center in addition to volunteer recruitment and training and outreach and education to the community and other healthcare professionals.” Hospice of Miami County’s services, she explained, are covered through Medicare with additional funding available through grants, fundraisers, proceeds from the organization’s For All Seasons gift boutique in downtown Troy, and “generous donations from the United Way and caring supporters.” Accredited by the Joint Commission with the agency’s Gold Seal of Approval, Hospice of Miami County has also been designated as a Top Workplace in 2012 and 2013 thanks to its “talented employees.” “While celebrating its 30th year,” adds Daniel “Hospice of Miami County embarked on new endeavors to further meet the needs of the community. In collaboration with the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization and the Department of Veterans Affairs, Hospice of Miami County is a proud member of the We Honor Veterans program, bestowing honor and recognition to hospice patients who have served in the armed services. We have also entered a formal partnership with Hospice of Dayton “to embolden both groups’ non-profit approach to superior hospice care in their respective communities.” Since the mid-2000s, Hospice of Miami County began seeing more than 300 patients annually — 450 patients in its 30th year — and has moved to its current location at 550 Summit Avenue in Troy. Dr. Mark Hess, M.D. has served Hospice of Miami County for 30 years as its medical director.

Grandmother are from Troy. He was killed in line of duty in Afghanistan. The next year the stockings went to Bravo Battery from Piqua while they were deployed, and last year they went to the 1486th which is the Ohio National Guard unit that the 1487th Transportation Company (also from Piqua) replaced during their recent deployment to Afghanistan. In
the past three years more than 600 stockings have been delivered through our efforts. Info about this year: Although the program has traditionally been called Stockings for Soldiers, this year the stockings are going to the sailors aboard the USS Tucson, a nuclear submarine in the U.S. Navy. Cody Keith, of Sidney, the son of Sherrie Robbins, also of Sidney, who is the Motorclothes Manager at Gover Harley-Davidson, is currently serving aboard this submarine. When we were deciding who the stockings should go to this year it was an easy decision because we knew Cody would be at sea over the Christmas holidays and we know, firsthand through Sherrie what a sacrifice it is for him to be away from his wife and two young children. We learned that there were approximately 160 sailors on the sub, so we shipped 170 stockings this year in an effort to ensure that no one would be left out. From the captain to the lowest ranking sailor aboard, they are all heroes to us. The stockings are filled with everything from snacks, candy, batteries, coffee creamer, Thunder Roads Ohio magazines, playing cards, DVDs and more. Each stocking also includes a Christmas Card that was provided and signed by a local citizen who wanted to show support for the sailors of the USS Tucson.

PIQUA — Being the Grand Marshal of the Downtown Piqua Holiday Parade is an honored role for any individual but this year the position is being shared by a large group of very worthy individuals. The 1487th Transportation Company unit of the Army National Guard, based at the Piqua Armory, is the grand marshal of the annual Holiday Parade. The unit recently returned from a year-long deployment and is made up of about 160 soldiers from the region. The 1487th was responsible for responsible for tactical supply and transportation operations throughout Regional Command South in Afghanistan. The downtown Piqua Holiday Parade will be held at 2 p.m., Saturday, Dec. 7, in downtown
Piqua and the theme for the annual community celebration is “Star Spangled Christmas.” The Downtown Piqua Holiday Parade is a part of the Christmas Experiences in Piqua weekend which includes Christmas on the Green on Friday night, December 6. The downtown Piqua Holiday Parade is sponsored by McVety Realty, Barclay’s Men’s-Women’s Clothier and Mark Reedy of Thrivent Financial. The idea to honor the local National Guard unit was the idea of parade sponsor Jeanie JordanBates of McVety Realty. As a result of the special tribute being paid to the service of the local National Guard Unit aspects of the Christmas on the Green, including the tree lighting ceremony will take on a
special patriotic theme. With the assistance of the Piqua Street department the fir tree on the East side of the gazebo will be decorated with lights and oversized red, blue and silver Christmas ornaments and a variety of large red bows. At the base of the tree will be a list of area veterans, compiled from lists that were supplied by the American Legion and the Piqua V.F.W. The Tree Lighting ceremony will take place on Friday evening during Christmas on the Green. The tree will be lit at approximately 7 p.m. Attendees at the Christmas on the Green event can take the opportunity to write a Christmas message to soldiers.

McElroy a Honda/OSU Math Medal recipient SIDNEY— Kevin McElroy, a student at Lehman Catholic in Sidney, along with eight high-achieving Miami County high school seniors listed in Monday’s Daily Call, was also a recipient of the Honda/OSU Math Medal award from a partnership between Honda of America Manufacturing Inc. and The Ohio State University. The award recognizes the top senior mathematics student in 230 high schools in Central and Southwest Ohio. This is the tenth anniversary of the Central Ohio region Math Medal Awards, presented by the Honda-Ohio State Partnership Program, a university-industry partnership that supports programs in education and research to benefit the transportation industry. This year 134 seniors from 15 counties in Central Ohio received the award. Honorees attended the Central Ohio region ceremony on November 7 at Honda of America in Marysville. Recognized as their school’s top math student in
the Class of 2014, each student received a pewter math medal, plaque and $100 gift card from Honda of America Manufacturing and Ohio State University’s College of Engineering. In addition, the math medal award comes with a $3,000 scholarship opportunity at Ohio State’s College of Engineering for the 2014-2015 academic year. Over the past nine years, 110 Central Ohio region Math Medal recipients have gone on to receive the $3,000 scholarship at Ohio State’s College of Engineering. “This prestigious honor recognizes students who excel in math and science, and serves as an indicator that an engineering career may suit them well,” said David B. Williams, dean, Ohio State College of Engineering. “These are all outstanding students, who we hope will become Buckeye engineers.” The Honda-Ohio State Partnership Program is a unique collaboration between Ohio State and Honda of America Manufacturing
that supports initiatives in education, research and public service to positively impact students, faculty, public and private sector practitioners, and the transportation industry as a whole. Honda operates two auto plants and engine and transmission plants in Ohio, along with a major vehicle research and development center and engineering, logistics and purchasing operations in the state. With 16,000 associates—including more than 1,000 engineers— Honda of America Manufacturing is one of Ohio’s largest private employers.

National Perspective
The steady hand of Gerald Ford
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — We reach an American landmark on Friday that will be noted by few and celebrated by none. It is the 40th anniversary of the confirmation of Gerald R. Ford as vice president. On the surface there’s little reason to mark the ascension of anyone to a position that John Adams, the first man to occupy the vice presidency, described with some accuracy as “the most insignificant office that ever the invention of man contrived.”There have been 47 vice presidents, and it would be surprising if you could name a quarter of them. There’s even less reason to note this occasion for a man such as Ford, one of 14 vice presidents to become president. For those who ascended, their most significant moments were in the White House, not in the humble vice-presidential cubbyholes where presidents tucked them away so they wouldn’t be a nuisance. That said, the vice presidency and presidency of Gerald Ford stand apart. He was the first vice president to move to the post under the 25th amendment, which provides for a president to fill a vacancy in the vice presidency and for that nominee to be confirmed by a majority vote of both houses of Congress. Only Ford and his own vice president, Nelson A. Rockefeller, have become vice president by that route. Ford — “A Norman Rockwell painting come to life,” in the words of George H.W. Bush at Ford’s funeral — was also the first president to gain the office without a direct vote of the people, a condition he noted in his very first address as chief executive when he asked Americans to “confirm me as your president with your prayers.” Ford became vice president at the height of perhaps the greatest constitutional crisis in American history. President Richard M.Nixon was on the defensive about Watergate, his impeachment not just possible but likely, his vice president, Spiro T. Agnew, having already resigned amid corruption charges. The country was reeling; Washington was in upheaval. The nation needed a vice president, but even more it needed a sense of stability. On Oct. 12, 1973, the telephone rang in the Ford home in Alexandria, Va. “Dad,” said Susan Ford, then 16, “the White House is calling.” Two hours later, Ford was at the executive mansion for the nationally televised announcement of his nomination as vice president. None of this was entirely a surprise. Ford, then the House minority leader, had been asked to collect names of possible vice presidents from House members. The final tally was kept by Rose Mary Woods, Nixon’s executive assistant. Ford got 80 votes.The next closest was Rockefeller,with 35.Nixon knew Ford, the two having met on the Michigan congressman’s first day in Washington in 1949.And Nixon was comfortable with him, though the broader situation, without precedent in American history, was one of immense discomfort for both men. “Ford was chosen because he was confirmable,” says Joel Goldstein,a St.Louis University Law School expert on the vice presidency.“But he set a high standard for the vice presidency.” The evening that Ford was introduced as the president’s selection, Nixon described the next vice president as someone who had served 25 years with distinction. Everyone in the East Room — Washington’s grandees, with a decidedly Republican tint — knew by mid-sentence who that was. Every member of the crowd stood and cheered. The very next day, Rep. Gerald R. Ford of Michigan’s fifth congressional district marched for the 25th time in the Red Flannel Day parade in Cedar Springs, Mich. The vice-presidential confirmation hearings were pro forma — but no breeze.Sen.Claiborne Pell,the Rhode Island Democrat, asked if congressional leaders would have ready access to the new vice president.“I’ve had an open-door policy as minority leader,” Ford said. He was asked whether he thought Nixon would survive.“I think so,” he said.“It’s going to take a lot of help from a lot of people.” In truth, Ford dreaded what might happen, and he understood that if he succeeded Nixon he would have to deal with more than simply the fallout of Watergate. There was an economic crisis, continued conflict in Vietnam, uncertainty overseas, a lack of public trust in government. Early in August 1974, White House chief of staff Alexander M. Haig called Ford and asked if he were ready “to assume the presidency in a short period of time.” Ford’s answer: “If it happens, Al, I am prepared.” A week later in the Oval Office, Nixon told Ford: “Jerry, you will become president. I know you will do a good job.” Ford answered: “Mr. President, you know I am saddened by this circumstance.You know I would have wished it to be otherwise. I was hoping you could continue. Under the circumstances, I think your decision (to resign) is the right one.” He added:“I am ready to do the job, and I think I am fully qualified to do it.” ThemeetingbetweenNixonandFordlastedonehourand10 minutes. It was agonizing. Ford just wanted to be out of that room,awayfromtheawkwardnessthathadoverwhelmedboth men. The silence of the car awaiting him outside the White House provided a great refuge. In his first days as president, Ford displayed perfect pitch.“I have not campaigned either for thepresidencyorthevicepresidency,”hesaidupontakingoffice. “I am indebted to no man and only to one woman — my dear wife — as I begin this very difficult job.” Later, the pardon of Nixon took some of the luster off the new president, though many historians now believe Ford was right to rid himself and the presidency of such a monumental distraction.Even so,his was a presidency where routine ruled,which,given the circumstances,was a substantial achievement. His accomplishments, former newsman and Ford domestic policy adviser James Cannon wrote in a biography published this spring, were “methodically achieved by steadiness and common sense.” It was the lack of drama that marked Ford’s life and his administration. Seldom has routine been so remarkable. In history’s mirror, Ford’s presidency is bigger than it appeared at the time. David M.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The National Park Service has withdrawn “inappropriate” comments about a proposed rule regulating hydraulic fracturing operations on public lands. Park Service Director Jonathan Jarvis says no one in management reviewed the staff comments, which he said were submitted erroneously to the federal Bureau of Land Management. Both agencies are part of the Interior Department. In a letter to Rep. Rob Bishop, R-Utah, Jarvis said the park service erred when it submitted the unsigned comments, which quoted a New York Times opinion column written by Cornell University Professor Anthony Ingraffea, a well-known critic of hydraulic fracturing, or fracking. Ingraffea has argued that shale gas produced by fracking poses a greater global warming risk than coal, primarily because of methane leaks during production. Methane is far more potent at trapping heat than carbon dioxide, the most abundant global warming gas, although it doesn’t stay in the air as long. In a Nov. 13 letter, Jarvis said the park service was not relying on the July 29 column, “or any other opinion column as a basis in decision-making.” Ingraffea’s column, which criticized the notion of shale gas as a “bridge” fuel to a lower carbon future, was “cited for illustrative purposes” and was not the technical basis for the agency’s comments, Jarvis said. Still, he called the agency’s actions inappropriate and said he was withdrawing the entire seven-page comment from the public record. Bishop said he was pleased at Jarvis’s action, but he accused the park service of trying to “pass off unsubstantiated information as ‘science’ “ in what he called a “thinly veiled attempt to vilify energy production and hydraulic fracturing on our public lands.”

WASHINGTON (AP) — Warnings from defense officials and some experts are mounting and becoming more dire: The nation’s military is being hobbled by budget cuts. “You’d better hope we never have a war again,” the House Armed Services Committee chairman, Rep. Howard “Buck” McKeon, R-Calif., said of the decline in what the military calls its readiness. So should Americans be worried? A look at what the Pentagon means by “ready” and where things stand: READINESS It’s the armed forces’ ability to get the job done, and it’s based on the number of people, the equipment and the training needed to carry out assigned missions. As an example, an Army brigade has a list of the things it would have to do in a full-level war, called its “mission essential task list.” And a 4,500-member brigade is deemed ready when it has the right supplies and equipment, is in good working condition and pretty much has that full number of people, welltrained in their various specialties, to conduct its tasks. Military units are rated on a scale of 1 to 5, with 1 being the best, or fully ready. Typically, a unit freshly returned from a tour of duty would carry a 5 rating, since it’s missing people because of casualties or because some are moving on to other jobs, and it’s missing equipment that was battered or worn in the field and is in for repairs or must be replaced. A unit can be sent out in less-than-full ready status, but officials warn that would mean it could do less, take longer to do it, suffer more casualties, or all of the above. THE U.S. MILITARY RATING NOW Detailed information on that is classified secret so adversaries won’t know exactly what they’re up against. But because of ongoing budget fights, officials in recent weeks have given broad examples of readiness lapses in hopes of convincing Congress and the American people that cutbacks, particularly in training budgets, are creating a precarious situation. For instance, an Air Force official says they’ve grounded 13 combat fighter/bomber squadrons or about a third of those active duty units. And the Army says only two of its 35 active-duty brigades are fully ready for major combat operations. The service typically wants to have about 12 ready at any given time so a third of the total can be
deployed, a third is prepared for deployment and a third is working to get ready. Analysts say a decade of massive spending increases have built a strong force superior to anything else out there. “We could certainly fight another war on the order of the first Gulf War (1991) without any problems; the Air Force could do air strikes in Syria,” said Barry M. Blechman of the Stimson Center think tank. “We wouldn’t want to get involved in another protracted war (like Iraq and Afghanistan), but in terms of the types of military operations we typically get involved in, we’re prepared for that.” THE PROBLEM Even those who believe the situation is not yet dire say that eventually these budget cuts will catch up with the force. Some analysts say another two or three years of training cuts, for instance, will leave the U.S. military seriously unprepared. As an added wrinkle, the cuts come just as the military had planned a significant re-training of the force. That is, the bulk of U.S. forces were organized, trained and equipped over the past 12 years for counterinsurgency wars like Iraq and Afghanistan and now need to sharpen skills needed to counter other kinds of threats in other parts of the world. For instance, much of the Air Force focus in recent years has been on providing close air support for the ground troops countering insurgents and not on skills that would be needed if the U.S. were involved in a conflict with a foreign government — skills like air-to-air combat and air interdiction. A SOLUTION There’s broad agreement in Washington that budget cuts should be tailored rather than done by the automatic, acrossthe-board cuts known as sequestration over the next decade. There is not agreement on politically sensitive potential savings from closing and consolidating some military bases, holding the line on troop compensation that has grown over the war years or drawing down more steeply from the wartime size of the force. Finding replacement cuts for sequestration is the priority of budget talks led by House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan, R-Wis., and his Senate counterpart, Patty Murray, D-Wash., who are facing an informal Dec. 13 deadline to reach a deal. Any agreement that they negotiate could still be rejected by their colleagues.
Small company helps Twitter make money DENVER (AP) — Twitter just issued its IPO but a lingering question is how the popular worldwide microblog company will turn a profit. One Colorado-based company thinks it has found one way to help Twitter, and itself, make money. Wayin has partnered up with the Denver Broncos to project tweeted photos and tweets from fans onto the Sports Authority Field at Mile High’s Thundervision 2, the stadium’s marquee 40-foot high, by 220 foot wide video scoreboard. The software allows ads to be placed next to the tweets to generate revenue. It’s unclear how that could impact Twitter’s bottom line. None of the companies would discuss how much money is generated
through the deal. The Broncos rolled out Wayin’s software during the game versus division rival Kansas City Chiefs on Nov. 17. The team uses the software to search terms or so-called hashtags to find tweets by category from the thousands sent about the game and then pick the ones to send to the scoreboard and 1,100 television screens throughout the stadium, as well as to the Broncos social media hub on the Web. “The key is that we’re not just going to put up anything and everything because as you can imagine, there are some things you don’t want to pull right in,” said Sandy Young, senior marketing manager for the Broncos who is responsible for picking the tweets.

OSU gets win over Osprey COLUMBUS (AP) — LaQuinton Ross broke out of a frigid shooting spell by scoring 17 points Friday night and No. 7 Ohio State rode a 19-point first-half run to a 99-64 victory over North Florida. Amir Williams and Amedeo Della each hit career highs for the Buckeyes (6-0), with 18 and 17 points, respectively. Aaron Craft added 16 points, making his first 3-pointer of the season, while Lenzelle Smith Jr. had 10. Beau Beech and Dallas Moore each had 14 points and Charles McRoy 11 for North Florida (4-4), which fell to 0-16 against ranked teams. It was the 100th collegiate win for Craft and Smith Jr.

Steelers need to be perfect PITTSBURGH (AP) — The Pittsburgh Steelers need to put together a perfect December if they want to entertain any thoughts of making the playoffs. Pittsburgh's three-game winning streak came to an abrupt halt in a 22-20 loss to Baltimore on Thursday night. The defeat looked similar to the games the Steelers (5-7) dropped early in the season. They fell behind early, failed to produce sacks or turnovers and saw a late rally come up just short.

Piqua cruises past Wapak in opener ROB KISER Call Sport Editor rkiser@civitasmedia.com
Truth be told, Piqua boys basketball coach Heath Butler couldn’t have drawn it up any better in the season opener against Wapakoneta Friday night. Which is probably the last thing Butler or the Piqua fans were thinking when the Indians trailed 11-2 with 1:51 remaining in the first quarter when Wapak called a timeout. The Indians answered with a 19-2 run and went on to a 71-41 victory, with six players scoring between nine and 12 points. “I don’t think the players would have handled that (the slow start) as well in the past and I don’t think I would have as a coach either,” Butler said about Piqua’s first win in a season opener in five years. “I thought about calling timeout. But, then I thought, if we are going to be a good team, we need to be able to handle a MIKE ULLERY/CALL PHOTO

SIDNEY — It’s the end of an era at Lehman in girls soccer. It wasn’t a long era, just a couple of years. But was it ever successful! Tony Schroeder announced his retirement earlier this week as head coach of the Lehman Lady Cavs after the greatest season in Shelby County soccer history. His team was ranked near the top of the Division III state poll all season long, and was the top-ranked team in the Miami Valley. And the season didn’t end until the regional finals in a 1-0 loss to eventual state champion Hamilton Badin. Combine this season’s 17-2-1 mark with the 16-3 record last season, and Schroeder finished 33-5-1 in his two years at the helm. He was also the head boys coach in 2008 and 2009, and finished 24-9-5, winning a district championship in a 15-4-1 season in ’08. That district title and the one this year with the girls are the only two in county history. “I talked to (athletic director) Dick Roll about coming back to coach the girls, and I told him I’m only in it for three years,” said Schroeder, who also spent a year as an assistant before becoming head coach. “Then that would be it. I would be moving on after (his daughter) Marla graduated.” Schroeder is president and project manager of Choice One Engineering in Sidney, and said his duties there made it difficult to continue coaching. “It was a lot of fun,” he said. “The girls we had just had a lot of talent. I coached these senior girls since they were eight

Buccs coming off strong season
Covington wrestlers look for another big year COVINGTON — Covington is coming off an outstanding season, where they earned a number of impressive individual, dual meet and tournament accomplishments, and probably finished as one of the top four teams in school history. The Buccs, coached by Tom Barbee, continued their streak of 20-plus dual wins to five consecutive years, finishing with a 24-3 record, and advancing to the regional semifinals. Covington claimed its 11th straight unofficial Cross-County Conference title and won the prestigious 38-team Lima Central Catholic (LCC) Invitational, before winning their first sectional title since 1986 on the strength of a school-record tying eleven district qualifiers. The team placed third out of 52 teams at districts and qualified three wrestlers to state — Daniel Jennings, Jake Sowers and A.J. Ouellette, while another four finished as state alternates —Ryan Ford, Kyler Deeter, Ben Miller and Brian Olson. The Buccs lost four strong wrestlers to graduation — state-placers Kyler Deeter and Brian Olson, state-qualifier Jake

Houston boys handle JC in season opener Wildcats pull away for 69-48 victory
HOUSTON — The Houston Wildcats started a bit slow, but turned it up in the second quarter and went on to beat Jackson Center in County boys basketball action Friday night at Houston, 69-48. The game was the season opener for both teams. Houston, 1-0, is back at it tonight at Newton in Pleasant Hill. Jackson Center returns to action
Friday at home against the Russia Raiders. Jackson Center led 1613 after one quarter and scored the first point of the second period to make it 17-13. But that's when Houston took control, scoring 10 straight points for a 23-17 lead, and pulling steadily away from there. By the half, the Wildcats were up 3225.
The Wildcats pulled out to a 55-40 lead over the Tigers after three periods and cruised to the victory from there. Jesse Phlipot had 10 points to lead Houston, but he had plenty of help. Jake Braun had 17 and Evan Winner 16. "I thought both Jake and Evan had outstanding games," said Houston coach John Willoughby.
ing Ruthie on the staff was just bringing the female aspect into it. She was great to have on the staff.” Lorenzo has two sons who also love the game. Dustin is playing at Ohio Northern University and Chase is playing for coach Eric Harlamert at Sidney High. And Lorenzo also runs the Ohio Blitz, which fills a need by focusing on high school players in U15 through U19. Most youth soccer programs, like Shelby County Youth Soccer, are for U8 through U14. There are eight teams in the Ohio Blitz this year, and with 16 to 18 players per team, that’s around 140 players participating. “I wasn’t 100 percent sure that Tony was going to step down,” said Lorenzo. “He said this would probably be his last year and that if I wanted to stay on board, (being head coach) would probably be an option. It’s going to be a challenge because we’ll lose a lot of seniors to graduation. “But I feel like we’ve laid a foundation for the years to some”
His one season as an assistant was an eye-opener. He’s spent his entire coaching career with club teams, and he noticed a big difference this season. “I didn’t really realize it until I coached on the high school side this year,” he said. “When you’re coaching high school, you have them every day so there are a lot of things you can do as far as practices and training. “With club teams, you only have them a couple times a week and sometimes only half the kids are there because of other soccer events going on. “And a major difference is that in high school, it really means something to win,” he continued. “You’re representing your school and your community. I don’t think it’s quite taken that way in club soccer. There’s just a lot more focus and intensity on the high school side.” He’s already excited about the opportunity. And he’s certainly going in confident. “We’ll be in a league next year and we expect to win it and get back to the district championship,” he said.
Coach From page 9 years old. So I knew we had the talent and it was a great year. But that’s what we were expecting, and what we were working for. The girls believed in themselves and in their preparation. “Good talent makes a good coach,” he continued. “I think it helped me being president of Choice One and knowing what it takes to be a leader. That helped my coaching. There are people who know more about soccer, but I know about leading.” He’s confident the program is being left in good hands, because his assistant this year, Jeremy Lorenzo, is taking over as the head coach. “Jeremy is one of the best coaches in the area,” he said. “And Lehman is very fortunate to get him. He’s committed to soccer, and we brought him in this year with the intent of trying to talk him into taking over the program. And I think we got somebody better than me.” He also praised the work of assistant coach Ruthie Baker, who is also the head girls track coach at Sidney High School. “What was nice about hav-

situation like this.” Senior Xavier Harrison credited the coach. “There was no panic,” he said. “You always have nerves in the first game. He (Coach Butler) prepared us with the pre-season schedule and we faced adversity a number of times. This was nothing new.” The Indians responded with a 19-2 run to open a 21-13 lead and still led 2417 at the break. Dan Monnin had eight points in the second quarter and finished the first half with 11 points and nine rebounds. “Dan (Monnin) was huge,” Butler said. “We got off to a little bit of a slow start on the boards and I thought we did a better job after that. Wapak is quick and strong. Dan hit a couple of big 3-point plays in the second quarter. We had some other guys step up in the second half and Dan was on the bench cheering them on. He is a leader and everybody knows their roles.” Midway through the third quarter, Wapakoneta had taken a 32-31 lead before the Indians exploded on the Redskins again. Piqua scored the final 10 points of the third quarter to take a 41-32 lead and by the midway mark of the fourth quarter the Indians were in front 59-36. “Everybody on this team can score,” Harrison said about the quick turnaround. “Everyone knows their roles and plays wells together.” Harrison contributed to all 10 points in the run to close the quarter. He started it with a basket, dished to Erik Vondenhuevel and Colton Bachman inside on consecutive possessions for easy baskets inside. Then, off a Bachman steal — Harrison hit a three, was fouled, converted the fourpoint play and the Indians were never headed.

Colton Bachman shoots the ball Friday night. “Xavier (Harrison) made some big plays and Colton (Bachman) is solid,” Butler said. “The big thing is we just kept it rolling from there and built a comfortable lead.: Harrison led a balanced attack with 12 points. Bachman, Monnin and freshman Storm Cook all scored 11. Monnin also pulled down 10 rebounds for a double-double. Tate Honeycutt added 10 and Vondenhuevel netted nine. Adam Henderson led Wapak with 15 points and 10 rebounds, while Keaton Metz added 12 points. Piqua was 26 of 54 from the floor for 48 percent and 13 of 19 from the line for 68 percent. Wapakoneta was 14 of 65 from the floor for 25 percent and six of 11 from the line for 55 percent. Wapak won the battle of the boards 36-28, but the Redskins had 19 turnovers to Piqua’s nine. The Indians will now take some momentum
into Friday’s game at Centerville. Tuesday’s game with Tippecanoe has been postponed until Jan. 25 because of the Red Devils playoff run in football. Piqua lost the JV game 35-24. C.J. Davis scored 10 points and Bradley Hohlbein added eight. “Not just that we won the game,” Butler said. “But, the way we won the game tonight is big. To have to overcome some adversity and be balanced the way we were.” Just the way the coach would have drawn it up.
