Bennett Intermediate School principal Dan Hake checks out a reading chart with some of his students. BY JOHN HAUER For the Daily Call editorial@dailycall.com PIQUA — Bennett Intermediate principal Dan Hake lives by a short, but important motto, ‘Every student, Every day!’ “It takes a community to raise a child,” he said. “And, Bennett is an exemplary community.” Hake grew up in Lewisbrg and graduated from Tri-County North High School in 1995. He played football, basketball, and baseball for the Panthers. He

took his football talents to Defiance College, but transferred to Miami University a year later. “I had visited Miami when I was younger and had always wanted to go there,” he said. “When football did not work out at Defiance, I went to Miami.” While at Defiance, Hake took a number of different classes to help him decide what major to declare. “I took a class in elementary education from a retired superintendent,” Hake said. “That motivated me to get into education.” He earned his bachelor’s
degree from Miami in Elementary Ed, grades 1-8, in 1999. Later, he received a master’s degree in Educational Leadership and a principal’s license from the University of Dayton. He is currently finishing up his superintendent’s license from UD. Hake credits these important people with influencing him. “My parents Jim and Barbara taught me many lessons about what is important in life and how to treat people,” he said. Hake also acknowledges his principal and boss when he worked at Tipp City as a big influence. “Galen Gingerich was an excellent leader, and he truly knew all the students in his building and worked for them each and every day.” Dr. John Forsthoefel, Hake’s fatherin-law, has provided sound advice that has helped Hake meet the daily challenges of education.

Florida highway pileup kills 10 MIKE SCHNEIDER Associated Press Fla. GAINESVILLE, (AP) — A long line of cars and trucks collided one after another early Sunday on a dark Florida highway so shrouded in haze and smoke that drivers were virtually blinded. At least 10 people were killed. Visibility was so poor that when rescuers first arrived, they could only listen for screams and moans to locate victims, police said. At least 18 people were hurt. Authorities were still trying to determine what caused the pileup south of
Gainesville on Interstate 75, which had been closed for a time because of the mixture of fog and heavy smoke from a brush fire that may have been intentionally set. At least five cars and six tractor-trailers were involved, and some burst into flame. Photographs of the scene revealed a gruesome aftermath, with twisted, burnedout vehicles scattered across the pavement and smoke still rising above the wreckage. Cars appeared to have smashed into the big rigs and, in one case, a motor home. Some cars were crushed beneath the heavier trucks.
Motto Continued from page 1 Tipp City Schools to teach 3rd and 4th grade at Broadway Elementary. He spent eight years there, then, accepted a principal’s position at Milton-Union Junior High for two years.Hake took over the principalship at Bennett two and a half years ago. “I liked the junior high, but I really wanted to return to the elementary grades,”he said. “My goal was to be an elementary school principal at a district that values learning through student ownership in the learning process.” Hake considers himself lucky to have worked in three such districts. “Piqua City Schools’ leadership and staff create a learning environment that is innovative and that focus on 21st century learning.” Hake is proud of the character education program at Bennett.“We use the Six Pillars of Character national program,”he said.“We stress a different pillar such as respect, fairness, or caring in a building-wide campaign using a variety of activities.” Hake also cites with pride
the student intervention efforts at Bennett. “We use a spreadsheet system to monitor student progress and determine what intervention strategies to use.” Bennett partners with Hartzell Propeller for a series of special activities and days. “Hartzell people help tutor our students,” Hake said. “Our students get excited about the special programs provided by Hartzell. We have a Farm Day, a Rocket Day, and a Wright Brothers for Kids.” “Kids are our future,and I believe it is our job to teach them well,” Hake said.“Bennett’s staff is amazing in doing this. We focus on the whole child and know that they will be well prepared for their future.” At home, Hake enjoys participating and watching sports and spending quality time with his family. He has been married for 12 years to his wife Kari, a teacher at Broadway Elementary.They have two daughters, Carson, 5 and Colby, 2. The family loves to travel and their favorite destination has been Italy.
Project Continued from page 1 between Beverly Drive and McKinley Avenue. City leaders and Vectren want residents to be aware that construction may take several weeks dependent upon weather and soil type. Though every effort will be made to minimize service and traffic disruptions and that any affected yards,sidewalks and streets will be restored typically within two weeks of projection completion. According to a brochure from the gas provider most customers will not experience any additional costs associated with the project. When speaking with Vectren’s senior communications specialist Brandy Spainhoward on the likelihood of those who may face an expenditure, she responded that the numbers would be very low, one to two percent at most.The Vectren rep also noted that this is not only an issue being faced by Vectren in terms of pipeline replacement but pertains to gas providers across the
country due to federal legislation passed to replace the aged infrastructure. This legislation was put into action last April by U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood who created a pipeline safety action plan. The House and Senate went on to pass a pipeline safety bill that President Obama signed into law Jan.3 as part of the Pipeline Safety, Regulatory Certainty, and Job Creation Act of 2011. Safety was a prime concern for LaHood’s pursuit of this new legislation after a gas explosion in Allentown, Pa., killed five, including a four-month old boy. While gas-related accidents have declined over the years the country’s infrastructure is not getting any younger. Safety is a benefit should faulty piping or equipment be found in a home during the project, Spainhoward pointed out. For more information contact Vectren customer service at 1-800-227-1376

Local college offers financial aid event Mild temps in the forecast PIQUA — Edison Community College will host the state-wide college financial aid event College Goal Sunday at 2 p.m. Feb. 12, at the Piqua Campus. The free event, presented by the Ohio Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators (OASFAA) and endorsed by the Ohio Board of Regents, assists students and parents with completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The FAFSA is the federal application that is required to receive federal financial aid including the Federal Pell Grant and student loans as well as the need-based state grants. “We’ll be providing actual one-on-one assistance for students who will be applying for financial aid,” said Logan Billing, coordinator for
loan management at Edison. “Students and parents bring in their federal tax information and complete an online application for financial aid. This is the first step of the application process.” Due to the great demand expected for assistance in completing the FASFA, families are encouraged to register for free event at the www.ohiocollegegoalsunday.org or by calling 1800-233-6734. The FAFSA is the key to funding a college education and helping families to overcome financial barriers that otherwise prevent students from attending the institution they want to. “This program isn’t specific to Edison, and students who are looking to attend classes at another institution can still come to campus that day for assistance with their application,” Billing said.
A warm front will push across the area today bringing a shot of milder weather for the first part of the “College Goal Sunday is a work week.

It is speculated that he must have had powerful and strong advisers, who might have helped him in ruling the territory. It was during his third year of reign as a king, that he changed his name from Tutankhaten to Tutankhamen. According to historians, king Tut was successful as a ruler, who desperately tried to maintain good relations with neighbors. During his reign, he married Ankhesenepatan, who is said to be his half sister. After marriage, the name of king Tut's wife was changed to Ankhesenamun. Till date, there is no evidence to prove that king Tut had any surviving offspring at the time of his death.

Did You Know? • King Tut was 9 years old when he became Pharoah • His father was Akhenaten • Approximately 3,500 articles were found in the tomb with him
Who discovered King Tut’s tomb? In 1922, a British archaeologist named Howard Carter found a ancient tomb in Egypt. A tomb is another name for a grave. In ancient Egypt, many tombs were built like houses, with dried clay brick and stone. Anybody could build a tomb for themselves and their family. Long before they died, the ancient Egyptians began making items to place inside their tomb. These items were called grave goods. People loved making grave goods. It was a family activity. They made grave goods their whole life. They made dolls and baskets and jewelry and little statues of workers and all kinds of things. Then, as a family outing, they would visit their tomb, and place the grave goods they had made locked safely inside. One day, in 1922, during the Roaring Twenties, an archaeologist named Howard Carter was working in Egypt. He found a really small tomb. He didn't think much about it because it was so small. He figured it was the tomb of a commoner. You can imagine his excitement when he opened the door and realized he had found the tomb of an ancient Egyptian pharaoh, a tomb so small that it had been overlooked for thousands of years! From the hieroglyphic writing on the walls, Howard Carter knew who was buried in the tomb. It was a young pharaoh named King Tunkhannock, King Tut for short. Today, we know what King Tut looked like because Howard Carter found a solid gold mask inside the tomb, designed like the pharaoh's face.

OISCVEDRED Valentine Card Challenge
Hey Elementary Schools!
Paper Pyramid For more than 1,000 years, Egyptians built pyramids as tombs for their pharaohs (kings and queens). There are more than 90 royal pyramids in Egypt. Thirty-five of them major works. It's easy to build a small model of a pyramid. Use it as a standalone decoration or include in a diorama. Materials: * paper * scissors * glue * OPTIONAL: sand * OPTIONAL: thin cardboard Directions: Create a template by making four identical equilateral triangles (with small tabs on the side for gluing) Fold dotted line tabs. OPTIONAL: You can cut out triangles from thin cardboard and back the template pieces with these to make the project sturdier.
Glue tab of one triangle to tab free side of the next triangle. Repeat until all triangles are attached. OPTIONAL: * Cover entire pyramid with a coat of glue * sprinkle sand over top * if you decide to use the sand, you should make sure you backed the template pieces with thin cardboard or the pyramid will collapse under the weight

name was Johnny Clem and he started his military career in 1861 when he was just nine years old. No kidding! Even though different officers kept telling him to bug off, he kept hanging around the 22nd Michigan and acting like a drummer boy, doing the same things those guys did (whatever that was). After a while, they just took him on. The officers of that division even chipped in some of their money and gave him a soldier’s pay: $13 per month. The army even gave him a musket they’d carved down to his size and he used it to kill a Confederate officer during one of the Union Army’s retreats. Anyway, that doesn’t have anything to do with my family, and that’s why we’re all here. So, here’s the next letter from Uncle Ethan to Grandpa Wilf. August 22, 1862 Wilf, Though you may find it hard to believe, I am a soldier in the Union Army. I have enlisted and am assigned to the 100th Ohio, a fine regiment commanded by Colonel John Groom, though I do not see much of him. I am a member of Company F and thereby under the command of Captain Dennis Lehan. We do not know for certain, but we have heard that soon we will move south to Cincinnati and from there possibly to Kentucky. I certainly do not know, I am only a private and do

CHAPTER TWO: QUESTIONS & ACTIVITIES According to Josh’s research, a soldier’s pay during the Civil War was $13 per month. According to the United States Army, annual basic pay for an active duty soldier with a rank of Private (E1) with less than two years of experience is $17,611. How much is the current wage per month compared to what Uncle Ethan made? Inflation is a rise in the general level of prices of goods and services in an economy over a period of time. One dollar in 1862 is worth $22.49. At the current value of $1, how much money would Uncle Ethan earn in one month? Use the newspaper grocery ads to buy basic essentials for Uncle Ethan. How much would he have left to spend, if any? Many boys who were not yet 18 lied about their age to enlist in the military during the Civil War. Often, an underage boy would put a piece of paper with the number 18 written on it inside his shoe. This was done so that they could “truthfully” say that they were “over 18.” How do you feel about this way to join the military? Is it honest? If underage children joined the military today, would that effect the safety of the soldier? Why or why not? Write an editorial giving your opinion on this subject.

Chapter Two: Week Two Hey, hello and welcome back to those of you who caught my earlier blog. If you didn’t, or if you’re here by accident, page back and look over my last entry. If you’re too lazy to do that, or you’re afraid that once you leave you may not have the skill to navigate back, here are the basics. This blog is about my Great-great-great-great Uncle Ethan and my Great-greatgreat-great Grandpa Wilfred (don’t get me started on that name). Because it’s exhausting typing in all those greats, I’m just gonna call them Uncle Ethan and Grandpa Wilf. Anyway, in 1862, Uncle Ethan took off and joined the Union Army. And here’s something you don’t know, not even those of you cool enough to have read my last blog: Uncle Ethan was only 15 years old at the time. That’s right. The same age as yours truly. Now don’t get the wrong idea. It’s not as if Uncle Sam intended to take somebody that young. He wasn’t all, “Hey, kid. Here’s a uniform and here’s a gun. Now go shoot somebody.” Nope. In fact, you were supposed to be at least 18 years old and even then 18 to 20 year olds had to have permission from their parents. But if someone was determined, someone like my Uncle Ethan, they found ways around all that. It happened. And it helped if you were big and looked older than your age, like I’ve heard was true of Uncle Ethan. However he did it, he volunteered for duty in the Union Army in early August of 1862 in Toledo, Ohio. At least, that’s what my Gran says and the records I’ve found on the internet back that up. There was one Ohio kid, though, who got paid like a soldier even though he wasn’t really enlisted in the army at all. At least, not at first. His

Romney’s body language scores points

GOP insiders cut Newt down to size BY CHARLES BABINGTON ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Republican insiders are rising up to cut Newt Gingrich down to size, testament to the GOP establishment’s fear that the mercurial candidate could lead the party to disaster this fall. The gathering criticisms are bitingly sharp, as if edged by a touch of panic, a remarkable development considering the target once was speaker of the House and will go down in history as leader of the Republicans’ 1994 return to power in Congress. The intended beneficiary is Mitt Romney, a once-moderate Massachusetts governor whom many rank-and-file Republicans view with suspicion. “The Republican establishment might not be wild about Mitt Romney, but they’re terrified by Newt Gingrich,” said Dan Schnur, a former GOP campaign strategist who teaches politics at the University of Southern California. The anti-Gingrich statements have come from conservative columnists, talk show hosts including Ann Coulter, former Reagan administration officials and others. One of the harshest was written by former Sen. Bob Dole, the party’s 1996 presidential nominee. “I have not been critical of Newt Gingrich but it is now time to take a stand before it is too late,” Dole wrote in the conservative magazine National Review. “If Gingrich is the nominee it will have an adverse impact on Republican candidates running for county, state, and federal offices.” As speaker from 1995 through 1998, Gingrich “had a new idea every minute and most of them were off the wall,” Dole wrote. He said he struggled against Democrats’ TV attacks in his 1996 campaign, “and in every one of them, Newt was in the ad.” Gingrich has reacted unevenly to the accusations, sometimes denouncing them, other times wearing them like a badge of honor. “The Republican establishment is just as much as an establishment as the Democratic establishment, and they are just as determined to stop us,” he told a tea party rally Thursday in central Florida. The crowd cheered. But lingering near the back was an example of how the Romney campaign is taking advantage of the whacks at Gingrich: GOP Rep. Jason Chaffetz of Utah. Chaffetz is beloved by many conservatives, and he goes from one Gingrich event to another to tell reporters why he thinks Romney would be a stronger challenger against President Barack Obama in the fall. Gingrich aide R.C. Hammond confronted Chaffetz on Friday at an event in Del Ray, Fla., noting that some Republican officials criticize such shadowing tactics. Chaffetz defended his presence, saying Gingrich has vowed to show up everywhere Obama campaigns this fall, if several hours later. Romney has drawn other high-ranking surrogates, with mixed results. South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley annoyed some of her tea party supporters when she campaigned throughout her state for Romney, who lost to Gingrich by 12 percentage points. It’s unclear whether the anti-Gingrich push is driving a new wedge between establishment Republicans and anti-establishment insurgents such as the tea partyers.

NEW YORK (AP) — The hands came out of the pockets. The gaze was intense. Mitt Romney leaned confidently into the lectern. Even with the sound turned off, Romney would have stolen Newt Gingrich’s debate thunder with a surprisingly commanding and aggressive performance in the latest Florida faceoff, body language experts said Friday. To some, in fact, it was as if the two Republican presidential candidates had swapped roles, with Gingrich, the aggressor (and ultimate victor) in South Carolina, suddenly seeming the uncomfortable, squirmy candidate in Florida. It was a marked change for Romney, said Kathleen Hall Jamieson, an expert in political communication at the University of Pennsylvania. “All his nonverbal cues suggested directness,” she said. “The halting delivery was gone. He didn’t hesitate before responding. The indecisiveness disappeared.” The former Massachusetts governor also showed flashes of temperament, unafraid to display real anger at Gingrich’s calling him, in an ad, an “anti-immigrant” candidate. “Mr. Speaker, I’m not anti-immigrant!” he retorted. “The idea that I’m anti-immigrant is repulsive. Don’t use a term like that.” The anger came off as both real and controlled, said body language coach Patti Wood, which was important because it projected the sense that Romney wouldn’t be carried away by his emotions as president. “It was a controlled strength,” said the Atlanta-based Wood, who coaches politicians and executives. “His shoulders were up, chest back. Very effective.” And equally important, Wood said, is the way Romney ended the exchange with a slight, satisfied smile that stopped short of a smirk: “He could have ruined it at that moment with a smirk, which he’s been known to do, but he didn’t.” Where did the new Romney technique come from? Both Jamieson and Wood say it was clear the candidate had been well coached. Indeed, Romney has been working with a new coach Brett O’Donnell, formerly with Michele Bachmann’s campaign.

DEAR IN: Remind your wife that it’s your reunion, not hers. Tell her you plan to go and catch up with your former classmates, and if she’d like to accompany you, you would love to have her at your side. If Judy shows up, it will be two against one. But if seeing Judy would be too upsetting for her, you’ll understand if she decides to stay home. It’s her choice.

Advice Can you suggest any non-threatening way to bring up the subject of becoming more intimate? Or should I continue to just wait for him to make a move? — STUCK AT FIRST BASE IN CALIFORNIA DEAR STUCK AT FIRST BASE: I assume that the gentleman you’re seeing is also “mature.” Has it occurred to you that he may no longer be able to perform in that department? And if not, how will that affect you? The time is right to broach the subject of what’s missing. A way to go about it would be to tell him you care about him and ask him if you are attractive to him — and if the answer is yes, follow up by asking why he has been hesitant to take your relationship any further. Then listen.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — A 911 recording revealed frantic efforts by friends of Demi Moore to get help for the actress who was convulsing as they gathered around her and tried to comfort her. Moore was “semi-conscious, barely,” according to a female caller on the recording released Friday by Los Angeles fire officials. The woman tells emergency operators that Moore, 49, had smoked something before she was rushed to the hospital on Monday night and that she had been “having issues lately.” “Is she breathing normal?” the operator asks. “No, not so normal. More kind of shaking, convulsing, burning up,” the friend says as she hurries to Moore’s side, on the edge of panic. Another woman is next to Moore as the dispatcher asks if she’s responsive. “Demi, can you hear me?” she asks. “Yes, she’s squeezing hands. … She can’t speak.” When the operator asks what Moore ingested or smoked, the friend replies, but the answer was redacted. Asked if Moore took the substance intentionally or not, the woman says Moore ingested it on purpose but the reaction was accidental. “Whatever she took, make sure you have it out for the paramedics,” the operator says. The operator asks the friend if this has happened before. “I don’t know,” she says. “There’s been some stuff recently that we’re all just finding out.” Moore’s publicist, Carrie Gordon, said previously that the actress sought professional help to treat her exhaustion and improve her health. She would not comment further on the emergency call or provide details about the nature or location of Moore’s treatment. The past few months have been rocky for Moore.

Demi Moore arrives at Variety’s 3rd Annual Power of Women Luncheon in Beverly Hills, Calif., in this Sept. 23, 2011 photo. A 911 recording released Friday Jan. 27, by Los Angeles fire officials revealed frantic efforts by friends of Demi Moore to get help for the actress who was convulsing as they gathered around her and tried to comfort her. Moore was “semi-conscious, barely,” according to a female caller on the recording. She released a statement in November announcing she had decided to end her marriage to fellow actor Ashton Kutcher, 33, following news of alleged infidelity. The two were known to publicly share their affection for one another via Twitter. Moore still has a Twitter account under the name mrskutcher but has not posted any messages since Jan. 7. Meanwhile, Millennium Films announced Friday that Sarah Jessica Parker will replace Moore in the role of feminist Gloria Steinem in its production of “Lovelace,” a biopic about the late porn star Linda Lovelace. A statement gave no reason for the change. The production, starring Amanda Seyfried, has been shooting in Los Angeles since Dec. 20.
During the call, the woman caller says the group of friends had turned Moore’s head to the side and was holding her down. The dispatcher tells her not to hold her down but to wipe her mouth and nose and watch her closely until paramedics arrive. “Make sure that we keep an airway open,” the dispatcher says. “Even if she passes out completely, that’s OK. Stay right with her.” The phone is passed around by four people, including a woman who
gives directions to the gate and another who recounts details about what Moore smoked or ingested. Finally, the phone is given to a man named James, so one of the women can hold Moore’s head. There was some confusion at the beginning of the call. The emergency response was delayed by nearly two minutes as Los Angeles and Beverly Hills dispatchers sorted out which city had jurisdiction over the street where Moore lives. As the call is transferred to Beverly Hills, the frantic woman at Moore’s house raises her voice and said, “Why is an ambulance not on its way right now?” “Ma’am, instead of arguing with me why an ambulance is not on the way, can you spell (the street name) for me?” the Beverly Hills dispatcher says. Although the estate is located in the 90210 ZIP code above Benedict Canyon, the response was eventually handled by the Los Angeles Fire Department. By the end of the call, Moore has improved. “She seems to have calmed down now. She’s speaking,” the male caller told the operator. Moore and Kutcher were wed in September 2005. Kutcher became a stepfather to Moore’s three daughters — Rumer, Scout and Tallulah Belle — from her 13-year marriage to actor Bruce Willis. Moore and Willis divorced in 2000 but remained friendly. Moore can be seen on screen in the recent films “Margin Call” and “Another Happy Day.” Kutcher replaced Charlie Sheen on TV’s “Two and a Half Men” and is part of the ensemble film “New Year’s Eve.”

not take him long to figure out why his partner had underled the A-K of spades. He shifted to a club, and Nagy cashed the Q-A of clubs to put the contract down one faster than declarer could say “Good play.” The hand is an excellent illustration of the principle that a player should not allow himself to fall into the habit of making so-called automatic or routine plays. In the vast majority of deals, the king (or ace) of spades would be the normal opening lead, and no one would give even a moment’s thought to any other lead. But here, as Nagy demonstrated so well, he not only thought of the
four of spades as a possible opening lead, but had the courage of his convictions to lead it. His reward was a gain of 700 points. Tomorrow: It doesn’t hurt to try.

This deal occurred in a national team championship in 1977. At the first table, the bidding went as shown, and South got to five diamonds. East’s three-spade bid, in response to partner’s takeout double, was
strictly pre-emptive and was an attempt to cramp the opponents’ bidding space. It indicated a long spade suit in an otherwise worthless hand. West was Peter Nagy, playing with Eric Kokish, both well-known Canadian stars. It did not seem to Nagy that he would defeat the contract by making the routine opening lead of the king of spades. In fact, had he done so, South would have made five diamonds easily, scoring four diamonds, six hearts and a spade ruff for 11 tricks. Instead, Nagy made the imaginative and highly unorthodox opening lead of the four of spades! Kokish won dummy’s eight with the nine, and it did

DEAR ABBY: My wife, “Kate,” and her sister, “Judy,” do not get along, to the point that my wife refuses to be in the same room with her. I have a class reunion coming up, and Judy is in my class. Because we’re not sure Judy will show up, Kate has said she will attend — but she’ll leave if Judy arrives. We had planned on going in separate cars so Kate could escape if necessary. But now she says if Judy puts in an appearance, she’ll be upset with me if I don’t leave with her. I don’t get along with Judy either, but I’d like the chance to catch up with other classmates. Kate feels my not leaving with her would demonstrate a lack of support. I don’t want my wife’s antipathy toward her sister to cause me to be penalized. What to do? — IN THE MIDDLE

NEXTDOOR Valentine’s Day opening set for Troy Marion’s WWW.DAILYCALL.COM
Monday, January 30, 2012
Restaurant will seat 500 BY DAVID FONG Ohio Community Media fong@tdnpublishing.com TROY — For many of its ardent fans, a pipinghot Marion’s pizza is a case of love at first bite. With that in mind, the way Marion’s Piazza CEO Roger Glass sees it, opening the new Marion’s in Troy on Valentine’s Day seemed a perfect fit. The new store — Marion’s Piazza’s first new location in two decades — will open Feb. 14 at 1270 Experiment Farm Road, off of West Main Street. “It actually just happened to shake out that PROVIDED PHOTOS way,” Glass said of openThese sculptures and others will be on display in the Gateway Arts Council ing on Valentine’s Day. gallery through February. Above is the a sculpture titled “Silverware Back Go- “We could have opened on rilla, Girlilla and Baby” by Gary Hovey. Monday, Feb. 13, but we figured we love Troy and we love Miami County so much; we might as well just hold off one day and open on Valentine’s Day.” Glass said from the feedback he’s received, it’s a mutual love story — Marion’s loves the area and Troy and Miami County residents love
Marion’s pizza. He said it was that love affair that eventually led the Dayton-based pizza company to settle in Troy. “We’re very excited to be opening in Troy, to say the least. We’ve had so many people from the northern counties come to our North Dixie store and our Englewood store and tell us how much they love our pizza. At one point, I had the mayor of Troy writing me a letter every six months or so, begging me to please bring a store to Troy.” It won’t just be any Marion’s Piazza coming to Troy, Glass said. The restaurant will seat 500 people — including a patio area that will sit 80 and a banquet/meeting room that will seat 85 for private parties and meetings. It also will feature a game room and three dining room areas. The restaurant will employ about 50 people. “It’s going to be the biggest and the best Marion’s — because it’s the newest,” Glass said. “We’re so excited about it. This will be the cookiecutter prototype for all of our new facilities. The

store we’re building in Mason will look the one we’re building in Troy.” Glass said there were a number reasons why his company settled on Troy as the site of its first new location since 1991. “We had been looking at the northern area for probably three or four years,” he said. “We decided Troy was right in the middle of everything. You’ve got Sidney and Piqua right up the road and you’ve got Tipp City and West Milton right down the road — although we don’t want to take too much of West Milton’s business away from our Englewood store, either. “So you’ve got Troy that’s kind of right in the middle of all these cities, plus you’ve got such great business and manufacturing in Troy for the lunch business. We’re hoping to get people from all the places manufacturing stopping in there for lunch. We’re hoping someone leaves Kohl’s and goes right across the street to our restaurant. There really are so many things we love about Troy.”

Gateway Arts Council to host sculpture display SIDNEY — Gateway Arts Council will open a sculpture exhibit with a reception from 6-8 p.m. Friday at Art Gallery, 216 N.

Featured artists include the following: Roger Smith, whose work has been shown in numerous juried fine art shows in Michigan, New York, Ohio, Louisiana, Kentucky and South Carolina. He was the featured artist for the autumn 2006 issue of Whisper in the Woods Nature Journal. His work has been chosen for the Ella Sharp Museum Fine Arts Competition, the International Exhibition on Animals in Art, the Kentucky National Wildlife Art Exhibit and the Society of Animal Artist’s 50th Annual Exhibition.

Wanda Lee Dammeyer, of New Bremen, has won a number of awards at Ohio art shows and won fourth place in the 2006 Celebration of Western Art at the Grand National Rodeo in San Francisco. She has exhibited in the Loveland Sculpture Invitational in Loveland, Colo., the Iowa Sculpture Festival in Newton, Iowa, and the Botkins Invitational Sculpture Show in Botkins. A direct descendant of Pocahontas, she likes sculpting Native Americans. Michael Tizzano has been creating sculptures from early childhood, but has worked professionally in this medium for more than 20 years. His work is enjoyed and collected throughout the country. He has taught in the classroom setting for more than 30 years, instructing and sharing his love of art with students primarily in
the middle school. He has been engaged in art making with the very young as well as adults. Mike Elsass became a painter after a career and a dream to have time to dedicate to writing. Though mostly self-taught, he acknowledges Roger Sayre as his mentor. Sayre, a nationally renowned steel artist, showed Elsass the possibilities of steel as a surface for acrylic and urged him to experiment with it. Elsass is an en plein air artist who stops his wandering whenever the energy of a place attracts him, trying to absorb and then reinvent it. Gateway Arts Council is Shelby County’s home for the arts, maintaining several year-round programs focused on making the arts available to everyone, everywhere for every time.

HOROSCOPE Monday, Jan. 30, 2012 Even if you weren’t able to market some of your good ideas in the past, don’t stop trying in the months to come. It isn’t likely that you’ll run into the same obstacle that previously blocked you. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — It’s erroneous to believe, as others say, that a very important arrangement is slipping from your control. Regardless of what others try to get you to think, know that the opposite is true. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — You’re presently in a very good cycle for fulfilling your desires and expectations, but good things can only happen if you believe in yourself. Don’t dash your chances for happiness. ARIES (March 21-April 19) — Although initially you might not believe it, the odds are slanted in your favor. Even if you’re delayed for a while, you’ll take full advantage of the lull. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Your powers of observation are extremely astute, so carefully observe a role model handle a situation similar to one you must take care of. If you watch closely, you’ll quickly learn how to do it as well. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — For whatever reason, your dealings with male pals will be easier to handle than any involvements you might have with the ladies. Keep this in mind if you need a favor. CANCER (June 21-July 22) — The proof you’ve been looking for regarding the loyalty and/or support of your associates will be made clear to you. You should now be able to move forward with your plans. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Any sincere effort you put forth to protect a critical matter for another will work well, and will also let others know that they had better not poke their snoots into matters you want kept private. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Someone who is in a position of power is apt to sense a kinship with you. As a result, she or he is likely to do something significant to help you without being asked. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Normally it isn’t too smart to have too many irons in the fire simultaneously, but your case may be an exception. The more you have going for you, the better your chances are for success. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — It won’t be because you’ll be more forceful or assertive than usual that you’ll have a greater impact on others; it will be because your enthusiastic manner is so uplifting. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Don’t be indifferent about situations that are running smoothly and producing good results for you. If you have the will to do so, they can be improved upon even further. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Your ability to evaluate and utilize information so well is likely to be the envy of all your associates. They’ll see and hear what you do, but won’t know how to copy your results. COPYRIGHT 2012 United Feature Syndicate, Inc.

Whether posting or responding to an advertisement, watch out for offers to pay more than the advertised price for the item. Scammers will send a check and ask the seller to wire the excess through Western Union (possibly for courier fees). The scammer's check is fake and eventually bounces and the seller loses the wired amount. While banks and Western Union branches are trained at spotting fake checks, these types of scams are growing increasingly sophisticated and fake checks often aren't caught for weeks. Funds wired through Western Union or MoneyGram are irretrievable and virtually untraceable.

Stanley blows big lead at Farmer’s Insurance ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Tiger Woods talked all week about his improved ball control — then it let him down in the final round of the Abu Dhabi Championship. Woods resembled the Tiger of old the first three rounds before shooting an even-par 72 on Sunday to tie for third behind winner Robert Rock and U.S. Open champion Rory McIlroy.
Rock shot a 70 to finish at 13-under 275 and beat McIlroy (69) by a shot. Woods was another stroke back along with Thomas Bjorn (68) and Graeme McDowell (68). "Today I just didn't give myself enough looks at it," Woods said. "Most of my putts were lag putts. I didn't drive the ball in as many fairways as I should have. “It was a day I was just a touch off."
■ In San Diego, Brandt Snedeker won the Farmers Insurance Open in a playoff no one imagined possible until Kyle Stanley hit a wedge into the water and made triple bogey on the last hole. Snedeker had a tap-in birdie on the 18th and was so certain he would be the runner-up that he drove up to the media center for an interview, just in time to see Stanley run into trouble.

Another Sunday special Smith Jr. big for OSU in win over Michigan COLUMBUS (AP) — Call him a Lenzelle-of-alltrades. Lenzelle Smith Jr. scored 17 points and had a career-high 12 rebounds as No. 4 Ohio State flexed its muscles inside to beat No. 20 Michigan 64-49 on Sunday, keeping the Buckeyes in a first-place tie in the Big Ten. "Quite honestly, with this team we sort of need a jack-of-all-trades," Buckeyes coach Thad Matta said. "There's so many times where a team is going to choose to guard us a certain way or scheme a certain defense. He is really understanding his role. The energytype plays that he made today was definitely something that gave us a spurt and a boost of energy." On a day when Ohio State big man Jared Sullinger was limited by foul trouble and his team-
mates didn't hit a whole lot of shots, Smith's hard work on the boards and on defense meant the world to the Buckeyes (19-3, 72). How good was Smith? His eight offensive rebounds were just two less than all the Wolverines (16-6, 6-3). They resulted in 13 points and five free throws — enough to tilt the game in the favor of the two-time defending Big Ten champions. "That's big-game 'L' for you," Sullinger said of Smith's huge games against Indiana (28 points) and now Michigan. "When Lenzelle's rebounding the ball and he's in tune with the defense, he's pretty darned good." Sullinger had 13 points and William Buford and Deshaun Thomas both had 12 for Ohio State, which ran its winning streak over its archrival to
six straight. By the end of the game, a capacity crowd of 18,809 was singing, "We Don't Give A Damn For the Whole State of Michigan." Wolverines coach John Beilein, whose team hosts the Buckeyes on Feb. 18, said his team will relish the rematch. "It goes both ways, but we'll be looking forward to that," he said. "We circle every game on the calendar." Tim Hardaway Jr. had 15 points for the Wolverines. Trey Burke, the conference's top freshman point guard, returned to his hometown to play for the first time against Sullinger, his former high school teammate, and finished with 13 points. "Trey's a great player," said Ohio State counterpart Aaron Craft, who had seven points, four assists and three steals. "He's one
of those guys you want to have on your team. You know he's going to be in attack mode all the whole game. It was definitely a great team effort on him." Leading by three points at halftime, the Buckeyes pulled away with a 14-2 run midway through the second half. Bookended by 3-pointers by Burke, most of the points came as a result of backdoor cuts or drives. It didn't include a 3. Buford, who was quiet throughout the first half, got it started with a driving layup. Later in the spurt he stepped in front of Burke's crosscourt pass and streaked the length of the court for a dunk that got a rise out of the crowd. Smith scored twice in the run — a layup on an assist from Buford and a short baseline jumper. See OSU/Page 16

Djokovic wears down Nadal for Grand Slam Azarenka cruises past Sharapova MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) — Novak Djokovic wore down Rafael Nadal in the longest Grand Slam singles final in the history of professional tennis Sunday, winning 5-7, 6-4, 6-2, 6-7 (5), 7-5 after 5 hours, 53 minutes to claim his third Australian Open title. Djokovic sealed victory at 1:37 a.m. local time and became the fifth man since the Open Era began in 1968 to win three straight Grand Slam finals. The 24-year-old Djokovic tore off his shirt in celebration after one of the most dramatic finals in the history of the game. He went to his support camp and repeatedly thumped the side of the arena in delight and relief. Djokovic's win maintained his mastery of Nadal, who has lost seven straight finals against the Serb since March. Nadal became the first man in the Open Era to drop three straight major finals after losing to

basket at the other end and the lead never fell below eight points again. "I was really impressed with Ohio today," said Beilein, using a name frequently used by Michigan football coach Brady Hoke that grates Ohio State fans. "Their defense was really suffocating at times." The Wolverines fell to 15 on opponents' home
courts while the Buckeyes stretched their homecourt winning streak to 38, the second-longest in the program's 100 years. Sullinger was asked if he were excited that the Buckeyes had solidified their place in the Big Ten standings. "Game on Saturday against Wisconsin," he said firmly. "That's the biggest focus right now."
OSU Down 48-35, the Wolverines drew as close as 50-43 on an inside basket by Jordan Morgan. Morgan then stole the ball from Sullinger and grabbed an offensive rebound off a missed 3 by Douglass. But as Morgan was bracing to go up for the follow, Craft darted in and stole the ball. Craft fed Thomas for a

keep our heads up and play with confidence.” Potts led the Indians, hitting a 3-pointer in the first half and finished with nine points and 10 rebounds. "Tasha (Potts) had a nice game today,” Hoke said. “ I really liked how hard she played and the fact she was being a leader in the huddle. That says a lot about a freshman." Emily Mowbray led Vandalia with 13 points, while Gina Warmouth added 11. Alyssa Ryerse grabbed seven rebounds and Whitney Barfkneckt pulled down six. Piqua was 10 of 45 from the floor for 22 percent and seven of 10 from the line for 70 percent. Vandalia was 18 of 58
her first final in 25 Grand Slam tournaments, had her serve broken in the opening game of the match and trailed 2-0 after a nervous start before winning 12 of the next 13 games to take the match away from Sharapova, a three-time major winner and the 2008 Australian champion. She became only the third woman to earn the No. 1 spot after winning her first Grand Slam title. Azarenka has been a distinctive presence at Melbourne Park as much as for her shrieks and hoots with each shot and seemingly boundless energy as for her white shorts, blue singlet and lime green head and wrist bands. Against Sharapova, she maintained the frenetic movement that has been the hallmark of her campaign in Australia, her 25th consecutive major. She won the Sydney International title the weekend before the year's first major and is now on a 12match winning streak.

to step it up defensively.” And Piqua simply couldn’t score — literally — in the third quarter. After going 1-for-8 in the second quarter, Piqua was 0-for-14 from the floor in the third quarter. “You just have to find a way to put the ball in the basket,” Hoke said. As a result, Vandalia scored the first 17 points of the second half, before Tasha Potts was able to end the drought with a short jumper with 6:14 to go in the game to make it 38-18. “When a team makes a run on us, we tend to lose confidence and put our heads down,” Hoke said. “Vandalia was able to get out on the break and beat us down the floor a few times. We just need to
Djokovic at both Wimbledon and the U.S. Open last year. After coming from 5-3 down to win the fourth-set tiebreaker, Nadal was up a break at 4-2 in the fifth set while Djokovic appeared to be tiring. But the top-ranked Djokovic, who needed almost five hours to win his semifinal against Andy Murray, somehow responded. He broke for a 65 lead and saved a break point before finally claiming the win. The previous longest major singles final was Mats Wilander's win over Ivan Lendl at the U.S. Open in 1988, which lasted 4 hours, 54 minutes. The longest Australian Open final also involved Wilander in 1988, when the Swede beat Pat Cash in 4:27. ■ Victoria Azarenka beat Maria Sharapova 6-3, 6-0 Saturday night to win the Australian Open and take over the women's No. 1 ranking. Azarenka, playing in
