Ewing advises starting with small steps and then expanding on those. “Meal planning is key so look for the items you’d need to create healthy meals,” she said. “Plan your meals based on what’s on sale.

Serving Piqua since 1883

“For you have possessed my reins: you have covered me in my mother’s womb. I will praise you; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvelous are your works; and that my soul knows right well.”

(Psalms 139:13-14 AKJV)

The Village Idiot

He’s man’s best fiend “Down, Tiny, down!” my cousin Ralph snapped at his beloved pet. The dog had its front legs on my shoulders and was licking the top of my head.

I like dogs. I like to pet them behind their ears; I like to talk coochy-coo baby talk to them; I like to see them curled up on the back porch; I like their warmth, friendliness and loyalty. What I don’t like is to sumo wrestle with them. I do not like to tongue-kiss them. I do not like to have them paw my private areas like a rogue TSA agent. ˇ”Please, Tiny, at least use the backs of your paws when you pat me down like that. And don’t use your mouth, either.”

The white shirt I was wearing now had two dirty paw prints on the shoulder, and it smelled of wet dog and something much less pleasant. I later learned that when I’m not around, Tiny likes to hunt for dead things in the woods and drag them home. And he kissed me with that mouth?

“It’s funny,” Ralph said.

“He never does that. You must smell like a rotting squirrel or something.”

Yeah, that’s the name of my cologne, Dead Squirrel.

It’s French.

Ralph and I live several states apart and see each other infrequently, so I JIM MULLEN had no reason to doubt Columnist him when he said his Hummer of a dog never behaved this way. For an entire afternoon, despite my struggling, my pushing, my pleading, my commands, Tiny tried to put his head in my lap, his feet on my knees, his tongue in my ear. His wagging tail knocked over my drink on the side table as he bounced between the two of us, begging for attention. At some point, I stopped putting down the glass and held it, icy and dripping, for the rest of our three-hour visit.

Every now and then, Tiny would run out of the room and come bounding back with a half-chewed, soggy dog toy the size of a dinosaur bone and drop it in my lap as if he had just given me a birthday present.

I did not really get to know my cousin any better during our visit, because when I asked about his work, the answer was, “Tiny, no!” When I asked about his family, the answer was, “Tiny, down!” When I asked what sports he followed, the answer was, “Tiny, sit! I mean it, sit!”

When I asked about politics, the answer was, “That’s it, Tiny! You’re going outside!”

Tiny whined and barked so much that I begged Ralph to let him back in. The sliding glass door to the backyard was white with dog drool.

“Sorry I can’t spend more time with you,” I finally said, “but all good things must end. I’ve got to drive over to Aunt Helen’s to say ‘hi.’” I acted as if it was a duty and a chore that simply had to be done, because I didn’t want him to think I don’t like pets.

We said our goodbyes with Tiny jumping and running in figure eights around us. Once out of the house, I ran to the peace and quiet of my car. There were huge amounts of dog spittle all over my lap. It looked as if I didn’t make it to the men’s room in time.

“That dog always “does that,” Aunt Helen said, contradicting Ralph. “I never go over there anymore unless I’m wearing absolute rags, which is basically whatever I wore over there the first time. I’d be embarrassed to put it in the trash. Even after I washed it, it smelled like dog.

Once I made the mistake of taking a lift with Ralph in his car. The upholstery is dog fur, and you can’t see out the side windows for the dog lick. A 2-pound puppy is cute. A 200-pound puppy is a menace.”

“What’s the matter, don’t you like dogs?”

“I do like dogs. It’s the owners that make me crazy.”

Editorial roundup

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Excerpts of recent editorials of interest from Ohio newspapers: The Columbus Dispatch On Thursday, Sgt. Dakota Meyer became the first living Marine in history to receive the Medal of Honor, the nation’s highest military award.

After the Taliban ambushed his patrol in Afghanistan on Sept. 8, 2009, Meyer made four trips in a Humvee through intense fire to evacuate 36 U.S. and Afghan troops, saving their lives. He went back a fifth time, this time wounded and on foot, to recover the bodies of four comrades.

Meyer, a 23-year-old Kentuckian … hasn’t been thinking about his own glory; he has said he is uncomfortable with the honor and feels guilty he survived that day when others didn’t.

Meyer insisted that five military members killed in the attack be given ceremonies in their hometowns coinciding with the Medal of Honor ceremony. That says quite a bit about him.

Those honored posthumously are 1st Lt. Michael Johnson, 25, of Virginia Beach, Va.; Staff Sgt. Aaron Kenefick, 30, of Roswell, Ga.; Corpsman James Layton, 22, of Riverbank, Calif.; Gunnery Sgt. Edwin Wayne Johnson Jr., 31, of Columbus, Ga.; and Army Sgt. Kenneth W. Westbrook, 41, of Shiprock, N.M. They, too, are heroes.

DEAR RAINBOW GIRL: Yes. Ask your grandparents if they’d prefer you tell them all about your activities and whom you spend time with, or if they’d rather you remain silent about your gay friends. Explain that you sense tension when you’re open with them, and ask if they’d feel better if you were selective in discussing your life, your friends and your interests. That way the choice will be theirs.

One of these days when he asks a passenger what the “magic word” is, someone is going to give him one that can’t be printed in a family newspaper. Yes, Joel is out of line, and when enough passengers complain about him to the airline, he will suffer the consequences.

DEAR ABBY: I am a middle-aged man with an older sister who criticizes the way I sneeze.

She thinks my sneezing isn’t “restrained” enough. It’s not a question of direction or whether I put my hand in front of my mouth or not. She believes if I don’t try to stifle my sneeze I’m uncouth. In my opinion, sneezing is a natural automatic response and serves to relieve whatever causes it.

DEAR ABBY: I am an accepting person who can make friends with just about anyone.

They have strict beliefs regarding homosexuality. So whenever I want to talk to them about something interesting that happened when I was with my friend and

DEAR ABBY: I am a flight attendant for a major carrier. I encounter rude passengers every single day, as well as people (including children) with no manners. I accept that not everyone will be friendly to me.

Some people are not capable of being friendly, and others may be going through personal issues and not realize they’re being rude.

I have a colleague, “Joel,” who can’t get past this. If a passenger doesn’t say “please” or “thank you,” Joel will respond with, “What do you say?” or, “What’s the magic word?” or a sarcastic, “You’re welcome!” if a thank-you hasn’t been given. I am appalled by this. While I agree that manners are important, I don’t feel it’s my place to educate our passengers. Joel gets his point across with a rude, condescending tone.

What’s your take on this? Is Joel out of line or offering a valuable lesson? How can I voice my objection and tell him he’s embarrassing his coworkers, the passengers and himself?

In notrump, partner is likely to go down two or three tricks opposite this hand. But with spades as trump, your hand should produce anywhere from two to four trump tricks, depending on partner’s spade holding. In addition, the spades will provide entries to take whatever finesses may be needed.

There is also no point in attempting to show your diamond suit at some level. By far the best action is to take the bull by the horns and leap to game in notrump.

1. Two clubs. With 11 high-card points facing 15 to 17, there is no question about getting to game.

The only problem is whether the proper contract is three notrump, four hearts or four spades.

The best way to resolve the issue is to consult partner by bidding two clubs (Stayman). If partner responds with either major, you raise that suit to game. If partner responds two diamonds, denying a four-card major, you next jump to three hearts, indicating a gameforcing hand with five hearts. Partner then either raises to four hearts if he has three-card support, or retreats to three notrump with a doubleton

heart.

2. Four notrump. This is not Blackwood, but simply an invitational raise in notrump asking partner to bid six notrump if he has maximum values (17 points), or to pass with a minimum (15 points).

Opener uses his judgment (or can bid five notrump) with 16 points. The magic number for slam with two balanced hands is a combined holding of 33 points.

Capt. Cooper finishes over 30 years of service

BY MELANIE YINGST Ohio Community Media myingst@tdnpublishing.com TROY — He’s seen it all — from public unrest at Troy’s public square to an unexpected encounter with a lion cub in a basement — no call over the police scanner was ever the same for one retiring Miami County Sheriff’s officer.

After more than 30 years of service, Miami County Sheriff Office Capt. Steve Cooper is hanging up his badge to dive into the world of retirement today.

“I’m going to miss the people,” Cooper said Tuesday.” For me, no call is the same. You get to meet the nicest people and then you have the other side of people.”

Cooper said he was interested in law enforcement after his brother became a cop and asked him to try it out more than 35 years ago.

“I can’t think of a call I haven’t responded to from homicide to trash dumping,” he said.

Cooper’s duties with the Miami County Sheriff ’s Office has ranged from road deputy, field training officer to jail administration and fleet management.

When asked to reflect on his most memorable moments in his 30 years with the sheriff ’s office, Cooper’s stories ranged from heart-felt moments to intense standoffs.

“One that has stuck in my mind was when a little 3-year-old girl came up and hugged me,” said Cooper about being part of an arrest which sent an extended family member to jail for the sexual assault of the young girl.

“She just came up and hugged me after we arrested her uncle and that whole terrible incident that happened to her and her family is something I won’t forget — I’ve always wanted to know how she is doing and how she got

Cooper said another moment of public service he recalls was when he helped Sheriff Charles Cox build a disaster relief team for the victims and the displaced citizens of Hurricane Katrina in 2005.

“That will stay with me,” he said. “Sheriff Cox asked for me to help get a truck to help round up water, first aid kits, blankets and other donations — and then we had so much that we couldn’t take it all.”

Cooper said it was the people of Miami County’s generosity that he remembers about the time the sheriff ’s office helped the victims of Hurricane Katrina.

“I was thinking ‘Where am I going to get all this stuff?’” Cooper said, and soon the sheriff ’s office was overflowing with donations of blankets, food, water and even a motorhome that Cooper rented for $1 from Dave Arbogast dealership for the trip to assist Hurricane Katrina.

“We got down there and as we were talking to the people, they were just happy we were there to help and thanking us — that was great,” Cooper

said.

Cooper also recalls the days in the early 1990s after an officer-involved shooting near Elm Street in Troy and three day of demonstrations on the public square ensued.

“We had people from all over the county come for that and people wouldn’t leave the square — that was an interesting time,” Cooper said.

All in all, Cooper said the years on the road and interactions with the public range from laughable to devastating.

“You laugh about some and there’s some that you feel bad about for a long time,” he said.

Cooper also recalls an icy, snowy night in 1993, when his sheriff’s cruiser was struck, sending him to the hospital after the battery from his car was sent through the windshield, spraying battery acid on to his face.

“That was scary,” he said. “I remembering hearing them call for CareFlight and they couldn’t help because of the weather — that was Cooper’s stories also includes a “call of the wild.”

Cooper shared the story of the time he assisted a young, new deputy on a road call to inspect a

home whose front door was open. Both Cooper and the “green” deputy inspected the home, but did not find suspicious activity, but instead a cat in the basement.

“I opened up the basement door and there’s a real, live African lion cub in the basement,” he said with a laugh. When he asked the new deputy if he had cleared the basement door, Cooper stood back to watch the young deputy open and then quickly slam shut the door with the young lion cub.

“He just said, ‘Nope, nothing in there,’ and we left,” he said with a chuckle.

“I’m going to definitely travel a little bit,” Cooper Tuesday as he reflected back on his three decades of service, not including the first five years in Butler Township.

An avid Scuba diver, Cooper’s first trip with his wife Maryann will send him yet again to the depths of Grand Cayman, Mexico’s waters.

“I’ve just enjoyed it and it was always something I wanted to do,” he said, noting the popular television show “SeaHunt” inspired him to learn how to swim with fishes.

Stress management specialist recommends humor at Go Red For Women/North Expo PIQUA — If women want to feel better, they need to lighten up a bit and get a handle on the stress that surrounds them, Kay Frances, MBA, told those attending the second annual Go Red for Women/North Expo held Sept. 17 at Edison Community College in Piqua.

Among the best medicines for stress are humor and laughter, said Frances, a former stand up comic turned stress management specialist.

One of the biggest causes of stress is other people, she said, adding, “We can’t control what other people say and do, but we can control our reaction.”

To accommodate that need, people should adopt “the art of laughing inside … have an inner oasis,” Frances said.

A positive outlook also is important as optimism can contribute to a stronger immune system, better heart health and decreased risk of PROVIDED PHOTO stroke, Frances said, referring to findings reported by the American Kay Frances, stress management special- Heart Association (AHA). ist, says laughter truly is good medicine.

Although women are notorious for taking care of those around them, they have to realize it’s vital to take care of themselves first. “You can’t work from an empty vessel,” she said.

A Wilmington resident, Frances said she became a health and wellness advocate after years of less than healthy living. What she found, she said, is “It comes down to what mamma told us: exercise, drink water, eat right and sleep.”

Presented by Upper Valley Medical Center, the AHA Go Red for Women/North Expo featured free health screenings, fitness and nutrition counseling, wellnessoriented exhibits, heart healthy refreshments; fun/relaxation booths featuring makeup/fashion and activities such as chair, hand and arm massages and more.

More than 300 free health tests/screenings and counseling’s were provided.

Four Turns Stewart’s Chicago 1 40winFORwas40theTony 40th of his NASCAR Cup career. The victory tied the 40-yearold Stewart with veteran driver Mark Martin for 16th on the all-time wins list. In his 13th season on the circuit, Stewart won his first race at Richmond in 1999 as a 28-year-old rookie. He has won at least one race in every year as a Cup driver.

MAKE THE FIRST ONE COUNT Stewart’s win also marked the fifth time in eight Chase for the Championship opening races that a driver earned his first win of the season.

Clint Bowyer (2010), Greg Biffle (2008), Bowyer (2007) and Ryan Newman (2005) were the others.

POSTSEASON ROSTER For the second straight season, Kevin Harvick will have to get used to some new faces on pit road. Richard Childress Racing has re-assigned six of its crewmen from the No. 33 entry of Clint Bowyer — who is not in the Chase — to Harvick’s No. 29 car.

Only Harvick’s gasman remains. RCR swapped both teams in their entirety last season prior to the Chase’s sixth race when Bowyer was all but eliminated from contention.

CHECK ONE OFF THE LIST Richard Petty Motorsports’ co-owner Andrew Murstein says his company has withdrawn from the Clint Bowyer free agency sweepstakes. “For now, we will continue to focus on our two teams and continuing to make great strides as we return the King and his unmatched tradition and legion of loyal fans back into Victory Lane,” Murstein said. RPM was thought to be a longshot at best to land Bowyer, who will bring 5-Hour Energy sponsorship.

KEVIN HARVICK “The Closer” is up to his old tricks. A late surge to second at Chicagoland Speedway helped him keep hold of the top spot in the Chase. Harvick has finishes of seventh or better in his last three races.

DENNY HAMLIN Three consecutive top 10s leading into the Chase showed promise for Hamlin, but a 31st in Chicago crippled Hamlin’s bid for a second straight title run.

Looked like the typical Chase race for Johnson ... until he was bit by the fuel bug. Still, how many teams do you know can run out of fuel on the final lap and still finish 10th?

True to form, “The Closer” was running down Tony Stewart in the closing laps at Chicago. However, this time he came up short. Still your championship leader, though.

We’ll give Gordon a mulligan for being so far off at Chicagoland. The fuel mileage only made a poor run look worse. It’s a safe bet he bounces back at New Hampshire.

Edwards was one of a few Chase drivers who benefitted when gas tanks started running dry. Mainly because his did not.

Keselowski’s unlikely run continues. Like Edwards, he was the beneficiary of a race finishing on fumes. Were he allowed to use his 30 bonus points, he’d be the points leader.

Smoke finally nabbed his first victory of 2011. And give him credit — his pit crew was solid, the car was fast and it got good mileage. This one was no fuel mileage fluke.

Newman finds himself sixth, just 14 points out of the Chase lead, after an eighth in Chicago. Odds are he’ll be one of the drivers to beat this weekend, too.

Kenseth was Stewart’s main competition until — yes, you guessed it — the tank ran dry. And a little “help” from Travis Kvapil was salt in the wound.

Busch seemed to have a decent car in Chicago, but could never gain the track position he needed to run up front. Oh yeah, he ran out of gas, too.

Kurt says he’s in Jimmie Johnson’s head, but after listening to him rant to his team on the radio, I think Kurt’s pit crew is in Kurt’s head.

Was a legit top-10 car at race’s end. That everyone ran out of fuel in front of him was icing on the cake.

It’s hard to imagine Hamlin rebounding from a 31st in the first Chase race.

Consecutive top 10s for “that crazy old man.”

It wasn’t pretty at Chicago, but credit AJ for a month of solid runs.

Returning this week to New Hampshire. Also known to Bowyer as “the scene of the crime.”

Smokin’ start to the Chase Tony Stewart earns wins first win of the year at Chicago; Chase kicks off

By MATT TALIAFERRO Athlon Sports Racing Editor

Just days ago, Tony Stewart called himself an underdog in the Chase for the Championship. Two weeks prior, he wondered aloud whether his No. 14 team even deserved a spot in NASCAR’s playoffs. On Monday, Stewart proved he’s no underdog — and he surely belongs in the company of title contenders — as the two-time Cup champion kicked off the Sprint Cup Series’ Chase by saving enough fuel to outlast the field in the GEICO 400 from Chicagoland Speedway.

Stewart, who co-owns the Chevrolet-backed Stewart-Haas Racing organization, entered the Chase in a four-way tie for last in the 12-driver field. However, his No. 14 team had shown encouraging signs of competitiveness since a head-scratching 28th-place run at Bristol on August 27, with a third at Atlanta and a seventh in last weekend’s regular season finale in Richmond.

“I’m not sure one weekend can do that,” Stewart said in reference to a change of outlook. “But I feel better about it, obviously. We’ve had three good weekends in a row.

Today doesn’t change my mind, but the last three weeks definitely make me feel better about it.

“We’ve still got nine hard weeks to go. And we have some tracks that have been a struggle this year, so we’ve got a long way to go but this gets us off to the right start.”

Stewart’s No. 14 crew did not get off to a good start at Chicago. Although he said the car felt good in practice, they only qualified 26th.

A methodical march through the field found him at the front after a

restart with 62 laps remaining. But a long green-flag run over the event’s final 50 laps had every crew chief on pit road calculating fuel mileage to the last drop.

Stewart, Martin Truex Jr. and Matt Kenseth swapped the lead numerous times over the final run, but when Truex pitted for fuel, Stewart only had to feather the throttle and hold a pretty wheel — even with Kevin Harvick in hot pursuit.

A number of Chase contenders — including Kenseth, Jimmie Johnson, Jeff Gordon, Ryan Newman and Kyle Busch — ran out of gas on the last lap, while others — Harvick, Dale Earnhardt Jr., Carl Edwards, Brad Keselowski and Kurt Busch — had just enough to bring it home.

As such, Harvick, Earnhardt, Edwards and Keselowski rounded out the top 5.

“I felt like we had saved a fair amount of gas under caution in the first 15, 18 laps, and (I) never really had to push my car very hard and just kind of maintained the pace that I was running,” Harvick said.

“And as we got a couple of gaps we were able to shut it off five or six times. And when Gil said ‘Go,’ I

! AMP Energy, co-primary sponsor of Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s No. 88 car since 2007, will likely take on a reduced branding role next season. In its place, PepsiCo is expected to announce that Diet Mountain Dew will assume the position next season.

PepsiCo is the parent company of both AMP and Mountain Dew. Its contract with Hendrick Motorsports and the No. 88 teams runs through 2012.

“The story is really about opportunity,” George Cox, Mountain Dew brand manager, told the Sports Business Journal. “With Dew, Dale and NASCAR there’s this awesome marriage. Dale is the embodiment of the person we’re trying to target with Diet Dew. We wanted to tap into that equity Dew has in NASCAR and put it into overdrive with Dale.”

The National Guard is expected to return for 18 races on Earnhardt’s car next season.

guessed it about right, (because I) ran out off pit road there after we took the checkered flag. Good calculation by the guys and good solid day.”

Like Stewart, it was Harvick’s third consecutive top 10. He capped off the regular season with a win in last weekend’s Richmond race and entered the Chase tied for the No. 1 seed with Kyle Busch.

Harvick maintained the position with his second-place finish, and sits seven points in front of Stewart in the standings.

Denny Hamlin took the biggest points hit in the Chase. After squeaking in as a wild card entry, Hamlin’s day quickly deteriorated when he was forced to pit on lap 86 with a vibration, falling two laps off the pace. After earning one lap back, a shredded left front tire dropped last season’s Chase runnerup three laps off the pace. He finished 31st and finds himself 41 points out of the Chase lead — almost one full race worth of points.

The other Chasers finishes included Kurt Busch (sixth), Newman (eighth), Johnson (10th), Kenseth (21st), Kyle Busch (22nd) and Jeff Gordon (24th).

! Richard Childress Racing Director of Competition Scott Miller has left the team. Kent Day will assume Miller’s duties on an interim basis.

Miller had held the post at RCR since 2003 and is rumored to fill the same position at Michael Waltrip Racing.

! Clint Bowyer was thought to have one foot out the door at Richard Childress Racing. Not so fast, says Childress.

“Honestly, we’re still trying (to put together sponsorship) today,” Childress told ESPN last weekend. “We both agreed if an opportunity comes for him he needs to take it. But yes, we’re still trying to put something together this week and last week.”

The hot rumor in the garage was that Bowyer could land in a third car at Michael Waltrip Racing, bringing 5-Hour Energy as a sponsor. Nationwide Series team owner Rusty Wallace confirmed that 5-Hour Energy would leave his Rusty Wallace, Inc. team at season’s end to pair with Bowyer in the Cup Series.

Cars generally have one to one-and-a-half lanes to play with, making passing — especially lapdown machines — difficult at best. Rubber buildup is widespread in the turns, and that determines where the driver can and can't run. If he can’t run the line he wants because of the rubber buildup on the track, it makes it frustrating. Usually two or three teams hit it right, and if it doesn’t rain and it doesn’t come down to fuel, one of them is going to win it.”

Obama needles foes on home turf President challenges Boehner, McConnell CINCINNATI (AP) — Needling his top Republican adversaries on their turf, President own Barack Obama stood in the shadow of an outdated and heavily used Ohio River bridge Thursday and called his rivals out by name to demand action on his $447 billion jobs bill.

Making a point to choose a bridge linking House Speaker John Boehner’s home state of Ohio with Kentucky, the home of Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell, Obama struck a cheeky tone that underscored the politics of the moment.

“Mr. Boehner, Mr. McConnell, help us rebuild this bridge,” he declared.

“Help us rebuild America.

Help us put construction workers back to work.

Pass this bill.”

The president’s incursion into northern Kentucky and southern Ohio is one of his most direct and defiant challenges to leaders of the opposition

party. And it illustrated a desire by the president’s advisers to distinguish him from Republicans and to get them to share some of the blame for the struggling economy.

Rejected as pure politics

by Boehner and McConnell, the president’s in-your-face approach showed no sign of changing any minds in Congress.

It also was a shift from the president’s outreach to Boehner this summer, when the two men tried to work out a deal that would extend the nation’s borrowing authority and cut long-term deficits as well.

Then, the president took Boehner golfing. Now, he’s taking him to task.

“Part of the reason I came here is because Mr. Boehner and Mr. McConnell those are the two most powerful Republicans in government,” Obama said. “They can either kill this jobs bill, or they can help pass this jobs bills.”

Obama said his legislation would put construction workers back to work around the country on projects like the Brent Spence Bridge, but the White House readily conceded that the choice of the aging span south of

Cincinnati was symbolic.

The bridge is scheduled to be repaired anyway starting in 2015.

“We have never suggested that ground would be broken on this project immediately,” press secretary Jay Carney said on Air Force One en route to Ohio, though he said the president’s job bill could speed up that timeline.

By selecting Ohio, Obama also raised his profile in politically important Ohio, a state that he won in 2008 but that George W. Bush also won twice. The Cincinnati Enquirer, however, greeted his visit with a downbeat banner front page headline: “Obama visit won’t build new bridge.”

McConnell and Boehner, both of whom have supported the bridge project, dismissed the visit as a political ploy.

“I would suggest, Mr. President, that you think about ways to actually help the people of Kentucky and Ohio, instead of how you can use their roads and bridges as a backdrop for making a political point,” McConnell said on the Senate floor Thursday morning. “If you really want to help our state, then come back to Washington and work with Republicans on legis-

lation that will actually do something to revive our economy and create jobs.

And forget the political theater.”

Said Boehner: “I am pleased the president is bringing attention to this much-needed project. But you know now is not the time for the president to go into campaign mode.”

Both McConnell and Boehner oppose Obama’s plans to pay for his jobs measures with new taxes, and his jobs package faces a tough fight on Capitol Hill, despite the aggressive campaign he’s embarked on to sell it.

In the very short term, Obama’s visit was making traffic on the overloaded 1963 bridge worse, not better. Ohio and Kentucky transportation officials warned motorists to expect long delays around the time of the president’s appearance Thursday afternoon because of lane closures and a ramp shutdown. Boehner joked that stopping bridge traffic won’t win any votes.

The trip illustrated the various ways a president can use the power of his office and the megaphone it provides to push for his initiatives and score political points. Presidents often use their travel to get beyond the Washington debate and try to build support with the public.

Though it’s not common for presidents to brazenly

challenge opposition leaders in their backyards, Obama has shown no qualms about venturing into Republican territory.

His first speech after announcing his jobs bill this month was in Richmond, in the congressional district of House Republican Leader Eric Cantor.

Last year, Obama traveled to Ohio just days after Boehner delivered a speech on the economy in Cleveland for his policy

proposals.

Presidents also often take local politicians with them on Air Force One when they travel. In this case, both Boehner and McConnell declined a White House invitation to attend Thursday’s event, because Congress is in session. Obama did travel with Republican Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky, who is pushing an alternative proposal for bridge and road projects.

■ History

Expectations ran high for Piqua hoops 1908 team featured experienced group of players Expectations were high as the 1908 basketball season approached.

“It may be a couple of weeks yet before the high school basketball squad gets busy. Our boys expect a very successful season, as there is plenty of material available.

“Four of last season’s regulars who were champions will be on the squad this year, and there are some new ones that will make them hustle to retain their old positions.

“Great difficulty is being encountered in arranging the local basketball schedule, as many of the teams desired would have to remain in the city over night and thus cause a heavy expense which has not been encountered in former years.

“This is because an attempt is being made to include more high schools in the schedule, but if the expense of carrying out this scheme proves too great, the schedule will be filled out with amateur outside teams as usual.

“The first basketball practice at St. George Hall was held by P.H.S. squad last night, but the practice was short and poor.

“Until further arrange-

ments can be made, the owners of the hall would not allow the lights to be turned on, and it soon became so dark that it was useless to attempt further practice.

“It is expected that arrangements will be completed so that the lights may be used tonight and during subsequent practices.”

West Milton was the first opponent of the season.

“Ye mighty men of West Milton visited this city last evening, prepared to wallop the overconfident, swelled headed Piquads to a frazzle.

“But alas for their hopes of leap year proved no exception to the general rule, and P.H.S. came off a victor by the score of 38 to 14. The game was rather haphazard at times owing to the slippery floor, but taken altogether it was much better than many of the enthusiasts had thought it possible to play on such a floor surface.”

“The second great victory of the basket ball season was scored last night in St. George Hall, when the strong Fostoria High School team easily met

with defeat at the hands of our unconquerable P.H.S. boys by the decisive score of 41 to 9.

“A most regrettable and lamentable incident of the game was that genial and fair Dr. Crawford, was barred as Referee by the Fostoria aggregation, due to some supposed grievance they say they suffered in foot ball.

“If every official was as fair and square as Dr. Crawford, the game of Basket Ball, and other sports as well would undergo a complete reversal, for never was Dr. Crawford detected in any ungentlemanly act during his years as an official.

“When he is in charge of a game, no unfairness is permitted. There is an apology due him. This is to be greatly lamented that such an incident oc-

“When it comes to winners Piqua generally expects her own boys to be pretty conspicuous with clean and smiling faces on the front seats.

“For that reason the boys will put up a strong contest against their opponents from the north. In fact the game promises to be one of the best of the entire season.

“Everyone should take advantage of this game, as it is the last High school game to be played here for two weeks. Every loyal rooter of the Red and Blue, come and help cheer the boys on a well deserved victory.”

“Had Piqua been able to locate the basket in the game with Lima last night the visitors would have

suffered a worse defeat than was actually meted out to them, but as it was they succeeded in holding the score to 38-18.

“Throughout the game the ball was in Piqua’s territory, and the locals took almost innumerable shots without being able to send the leather through the hoop.

“So far as general team work and all round basketball ability was concerned, the locals completely outclasses their opponents, and in occasional spurts ran completely away from their men at a pace that would have doubled the score had it been kept up.”

“The P.H.S. Basket Ball team will journey to Dayton next Friday evening and play the strong team from the St. Mary’s Institute of that place.

“This will be one of Piqua’s strongest opponents for this season, and no effort will be spared in practice this week to round the team into the best of shape.”

History Continued from page 9 the close score of 15 – 14 in one of the greatest basket ball games that the local team has ever played.

“It was a game that will long be remembered by the spectators as a perfect exhibition of scientific Basket Ball.

“From start to finish it was a battle royal and every inch of the floor was fought for. S.M.I. played a clean and gentlemanly game all the way through.

They played to win, and win they did.”

Findlay is next on the schedule.

“All is in readiness for the big basket ball game with Findlay this evening in St. George Hall. This will be one of the greatest games of the season, and a large crowd should turn out and help ‘root’ the boys to victory. P.H.S. certainly has a deserving team, one that has met defeat but once, and that by the closest of margins.

“So far this season the home team has scored 131 points to their opponents 56, in the four games that have thus far been played this season, a record to be more than proud of.”

“In one of the most exciting and cleanly played Basket Ball games ever seen on the local floor, P.H.S. defeated the strong Findlay High School Friday evening by the score of 50 to 33.

“The game was played to win by both teams from start to finish. The passwork was excellent, and hardly could have been better.

“Both teams showed that fine form, which results from careful coaching, and long hard practice. Some fine team work was ever present, and one would have had a hard time to pick the win-

ner.

“The visiting team was forced to remain here over night, as railroad connections could not be made.

“They returned home at noon with the exception of Abbot, who with his brother, will remain over Sunday with his father who is a salesman at Benkert’s dry goods store.”

Newark was next on the schedule.

“P.H.S. has been putting in some of the hardest practices this week, in anticipation of this game and both towns will meet in the very pink of condition.

“The game will be called at 8 o’clock and a great crowd should turn out and root for the home team.

The Piqua lineup includes Levering, Leffel, Chamberlain, Wild and Yenney.”

It was Piqua 39 and Newark 23.

“The Basket Ball game played Friday night at St. George Hall was one of the best games of straight and scientific held playing, and ideal team work, on the part of both schools, seen in a long while.

“Newark certainly has a fine team, and it is small wonder they claim the championship of Southeastern Ohio.

“But foes worthy of battle were met, in the form of P.H.S. and the first defeat that Newark has suffered, after a series of four straight victories was handed to them.”

A review of the Piqua basket ball season was the subject of a news report prior to their next game.

“P.H.S., the still undefeated High School Champions of northern, eastern and central Ohio are in fine trim for their next victims, the High School team of Wapakoneta.

“The team as a whole is about as perfect a piece of

basket ball machinery that has ever been turned out in P.H.S. The fellows understand each others methods of playing, and as a spectator was heard to remark, at one of the games here, ‘I believe those Piqua fellows could safely pass that ball to each other blindfolded, for they know just where each other is supposed to be, and almost always they are there.’

“Such is one well known citizen’s opinion of P.H.S. playing. The citizens of Piqua have, so far this season, most loyally supported their champions, and all this support is more than welcome, for the treasury needs the money badly, but if only for this reason, and no other, P.H.S. should be supported by the citizens of Piqua, because it is a winning team, and should be thought of as the pride of Piqua.

“At the few remaining games to be played at home, every one should turn out and root for the undisputed High School champions of Ohio.”

“The P.H.S. basket ball team, true to their record of this season, defeated the Wapakoneta High school five, at the latter place Friday evening, by the large score of 55 to 22 in a good exciting game.

“The game was played in the City Hall, above the Fire Department. A very poor crowd was in attendance, due doubtless to the very disagreeable weather.

“The game was called at 8 o’clock, and after it was finished the boys had only 10 minutes to change clothes, and ‘catch it’ and accordingly a very dilapidated lot of fellows got on the car.

“One of them remarked

‘we did more dressing after we got on the car than we did before, in the dressing rooms.’

This game adds another victory for the High school to place on their scalp belt, and places them another step toward the complete and undisputed championship of the State of Ohio.”

With a record of 6 wins against a single loss, Piqua prepares to host a team from Columbus.

“The P.H.S. Basket Ball team is in the best condition for tomorrow nights great game that it is possible for a team to be.

Practice has been faithfully adhered to and the Mutes from Columbus will have one of hardest games this season on their hands, when they meet P.H.S. Piqua’s lineup will present all the regular players.

They will endeavor to administer a sound defeat to the ‘silent five’ from the capital city.”

“The Deaf Mutes of Columbus were defeated by the local P.H.S. basket ball team last night by the score of 40 to 21. The game, while not exciting, proved interesting however.

“The Deaf Mutes put up some very good Basket Ball at various stages of the game.

“One of their best pieces of work was their dribbling of welling it around on the floor.

“At times, if favored with the sense of hearing would be star players. The team as a whole when the fact of their being so frightfully handicapped by these two lost senses, plays excellent Basket Ball, and doubtless many teams of less strength and speed than that of P.H.S. would have been defeated by them.”

A rematch with Lima on the road is next for Piqua.

“The P.H.S. basket ball team left this afternoon for Lima, where they play the High School team of that place this evening.

This will be a good game, but the local aggregation will no doubt give a good account of themselves.

“Lima played here a couple of weeks ago and were administered a crushing defeat, about the size of 38 to 18. They, of course, expect to reverse the score this return game as they are more familiar with their own floor and basket.”

“The laurels of victory belong to P.H.S. Our five defeated the Lima High School team at Lima last night by the decisive score of 37 to 18, in a spectacular and exciting game of basket ball.

“A large crowd was present as the prowess of P.H.S. is well known, the Lima rooters forced to see their favorites snowed under by defeat.

“The Lima boys put up some excellent basket ball, but team work seem to be lacking. The floor, which when last year’s game was played was so slippery, was in fair condition.

“The boys arrived home this morning after having a splendid team, and all reports speak in the highest terms of the hospitality of the Lima high school students.”

The Haskell Indians are coming to Piqua.

“The P.H.S. management have booked the Haskell Indians, one of the strongest basket ball team in the States for a game here on Friday night. The Indians are touring the country this season, and are playing the strongest teams that it is possible to

find, and have so far lost but 3 of 4 games.

“P.H.S. will doubtless have to hustle to defeat the warriors, who have been taking so many scalps since they have been out on the war path, but if the Indians are not very careful their trophy belt will be rudely dealt with by Piqua.

“Seats are being sold rapidly, and from all indications, one of the largest crowds of the season will root for the local boys.”

“The Basket Ball game played last night in St. George Hall between the Haskell Indians and P.H.S. resulted in an overwhelming victory to the Indians by a score of 68 to 26.

“The Indians know the game from start to finish, and it looked very much like they played with the local team the first half, like a cat does with a mouse. Piqua played as if they hadn’t a friend on earth, playing hopelessly, heartlessly, but still with that stubborn resistance that meant ‘do or die.’ But they died! When the timekeepers whistle blew, everyone was glad it was over. Perhaps this is the first time a P.H.S. team has longed for the timekeepers to blow to save them from a rising score.”

Piqua travels to Findlay for their second matchup of the season.

“The P.H.S. basket ball five left this morning for Findlay where they will play the strong F.H.S. tonight. Findlay played here a few weeks ago and met a crushing defeat, the score being 50 to 33, but on their floor they expect to retrieve themselves.

“This is considered very unlikely however, unless See HISTORY/Page 11

History Continued from page 9 they have developed very surprisingly in team and pass work.

“The boys left early this morning so as to secure a good rest before the game.

They will remain in the northern city all night, arriving home tomorrow noon.

“The best wishes of all who accompany the team on its trip.”

“Another victory for P.H.S.! The Piqua High School five traveled to Findlay Friday and defeated the F.H.S. boys on their own floor by the score of 36 to 25.

“The game was most interesting all the way through, both team putting plenty of ginger into their play and at no stage of the game did the struggle for supremacy lag.

“A large crowd wit-

nessed the P.H.S. administer a defeat to the Findlay five. Courteous treatment was accorded the P.H.S. five.”

The Findlay Republican on Saturday complained about the officiating.

“Many of the spectators and players as well were much inclined to criticize the work of Dr. J.L. Crawford, who did the refereeing during second twenty minutes of play.

“There is always the feeling that the team that is losing has been treated unfairly, but in this case there was much reason to such thoughts.

“It was plain to the observer that some of the Piqua official’s decisions were decidedly unfair and as he had no motive for the seeming unfairness and it had a bad effect on

the feelings of the crowd.

“Prof. D.S. Finton was heard to say after the game that under no consideration would the local team play unless another official could be arranged for.”

Piqua hosts Hamilton as the season progresses.

“P.H.S. will play a strong Hamilton H.S. team at St. George Hall this evening.

“This game will be up to the standard as Hamilton has an excellent team, and Piqua’s record is known to all.

“This will be one of the last games that P.H.S. will play this season and a large crowd should turn out and root for the champions of Ohio.”

“The game Friday night between P.H.S. and the Hamilton H.S. five was a

big one sided affair, Piqua being the winner by the score of 45 to 17.

“The game was largely attended and the rooters for the locals made their voices heard throughout the game. Piqua had things entirely their own way throughout the entire game” Piqua hosts Wapakoneta in the last home game of the season. “This game will be no walkover, for the simple reason that when the last game was played the Wapakoneta lads had a bad attack of stage fright, and it is hoped that this will not occur tonight, for every one wishes to see a good hard game as a fitting close to the home part of the schedule.”

“The basket ball game Friday night between

P.H.S. and the Wapakoneta High School five resulted in an overwhelming victory for the home team by the score of 67 to 10.

“At the end of the first half the score was 33 to 1 in favor of Piqua. One of the poorest crowds of the season witnessed the game with only 75 tickets being sold.”

The final game of the 1908 season found Piqua traveling to Hamilton.

“This evening the members of the Piqua High school Basket Ball team will take up their suitcases, and accompanied by the officials and a number of admirers of the game will journey to Hamilton.”

“It’s all over but the shouting and P.H.S. has a clean score this season.

Not a game lost and some of them were hard ones.

“Every one hoped it would be that way and things looked good all the time but is never safe to crow until the last ball is tossed into the basket.

“The P.H.S. team went to Hamilton Monday and won their last game their last game from the Hamilton High school team by a nice margin of nine points, 31 to 22.”

During the 1908 season Piqua defeated all 12 of their traditional high school opponents, and only losing to two amateur foes in St. Mary’s Institute of Dayton and the Haskell Indians.

This sterling record enhanced their reputation as one of the finest teams in Ohio.

Piqua Continued from page 11 Kayla Schrubb was able to gain control of a loose ball, beat a Viking defender, and then strike a shot from 23 yards that the Miamisburg goalkeeper was unable to stop.

“Kayla (Schrubb) intercepted a pass and dribbled the ball down the field,” Horvath said. “The shot was probably from 20 yards out at leas and was a beautiful shot to the left upper 90.”

The goal stunned the Lady Vikings and served to stoke the intensity of the Lady Indians.

The half would end with Piqua leading 1 -0 as neither team was able to finish any chances in the last 13 minutes.

The second half saw Mi-

MIKE ULLERY/CALL PHOTO

amisburg try to increase their intensity and find a goal, but as the Indians have shown all season they will not be out worked or intimidated by anyone.

As the minutes continued to tick away, the Vikings became more desperate and 10 minutes into the half they seemed to have leveled the score when Murr ripped a shot from the right corner of the penalty box.

The shot seemed destined for the back of the net but at the last second Deal produced a phenomenal diving save that saw her tip the ball over the cross bar denying the Vikings once again.

The last 30 minutes

saw Piqua maintain their intensity and desire and continually frustrate the Lady Vikings.

Whether it was the outstanding man marking turned in by Hannah Went and Kaylee Bradney, the organized defending of Holly Black, Lauren McGraw, Teija Davis, and Michelle Smith, the control and tireless efforts of midfielders Kayla Schrubb, Tori Hostetter, Kaili Ingle, Hannah Strevell, Hannah Mowery, and Brittany Dyas, the constant pressure provided by strikers Cheryl Bell, Haley Dotson, and Diana Burt, or the goalkeeping of Kelsey Deal the Indians

showed that they are a different team in 2011.

Their willingness to sacrifice for each other and the team is surpassed by none and equaled by few.

“I am just so proud of this team,” Horvath said.

“This was just such a big win for us.”

Piqua ended the game with 10 shots compared to Miamisburg's 18 and Deal finished with 11 saves while Ellen Sears of Miamisburg tallied five.

Piqua, 5-3-1, will look to continue its good play Saturday morning against Fairborn at Wertz Stadium with a 9 a.m. JV start.

Buck Eyes An inside look at Ohio State football WHERE ARE THEY NOW?

BUCKEYE BRAIN BUSTERS

NAME: Jeff Logan HOMETOWN: North Canton OHIO STATE YEARS: 19741977 HIGHLIGHTS: Logan led Ohio State in rushing with 1,248 yards in 1976.

He was first-team All-Big Ten, an Academic All-American and a team captain for the Buckeyes.

He and his father, Richard, both played for Woody Hayes at Ohio State.

AFTER OSU: Logan is managing partner of McCloy Financial Services in Columbus..

1: What prep school did Eddie George attend before Ohio State?

2: Who was runner-up to Eddie George in the Heisman Trophy voting in 1995?

SAY WHAT?

RECRUITING UPDATE

“He was on us, bro.”

3: Who was runner-up to Troy Smith in the Heisman Trophy voting in 2006?

4: What former U.S. Supreme Court justice was an All-American running back at Colorado?

5: What former Cincinnati Bengal is Colorado’s career rushing leader?

Answers: 1. Fork Union; 2. Tommie Frazier (Nebraska); 3. Darren McFadden (Arkansas); 4. Byron White; 5. Eric Bieniemy.

— Ohio State defensive lineman Johnathan Hankins, when asked what defensive coordinator Jim Heacock was like when the Buckeyes returned to practice after a 24-6 loss to Miami last Saturday night..

Frank Epitropoulos, an Upper Arlington receiver who has verbally committed to Ohio State in the 2012 recruiting class, has been out of action since having thumb surgery Sept. 6.

When he will return to the field is still uncertain.

Joshua Perry, a 2012 OSU verbal commitment from Olentangy High School, was recruited for defense, but continues to put up big numbers on offense. He rushed for 199 yards in a 35-25 win over Dublin Scioto last week and scored three touchdowns, including an 88-yard run and a 61-yard run. He had two other TDs called back because of penalties.

Blake Thomas, a Cleveland St. Ignatius tight end in the 2012 OSU recruiting class, caught five passes in a 27-8 win over Centerville.

Colorado at Ohio State, 3:30 Saturday, ABC QUARTERBACKS

RECEIVERS

True freshman Braxton Miller will get the first start of his career against Colorado. That announcement came from Ohio State coach Luke Fickell on Thursday afternoon. Senior Joe Bauserman started the first three games of the season, but his 2 for 14 for 13 yards passing effort in a 24-6 loss at Miami left OSU with a one-dimensional offense. Miller is 10 of 16 passing for 152 yards and has shown some running ability, but had two turnovers against Miami.

Tyler Hansen has carried Colorado’s offense, which has gained 75 percent of its yardage in the air in a win over Colorado State and losses to Hawaii and California. Hansen has thrown for 912 yards, seven touchdowns and one interception. He started eight games last year before a ruptured spleen ended his season.

Advantage: Ohio State

Some of the blame for Ohio State’s struggles in the passing game has to be assigned to an inexperienced group of receivers. There were several times against Miami when no receivers were open and none of the four completions by OSU quarterbacks in the game went to a receiver. Tight end Jake Stoneburner’s eight catches lead the team.

Paul Richardson has dominated the receiving statistics for Colorado with 18 catches for 360 yards and four touchdowns. Toney Clemons, a Michigan transfer who was in uniform against OSU in 2007 and 2008, caught three passes for 65 yards last week but has struggled to regain the form of last season when he had 43 catches.

Advantage: Colorado

OFFENSIVE LINE The play of OSU’s offensive line was one of the few areas that got good grades against Miami. The Buckeyes rushed for 174 yards and averaged 4.7 yards per carry.

Cory Linsley, who sat out the first two games because of a non-scandal related suspension, has played well since replacing Marcus Hall at right guard.

Injuries have caused some shuffling on the line for Colorado. Tackle David Bakhtiari is expected to return to the lineup after missing the last two games. Tackle Jack Harris missed the Colorado State game with a broken bone in his leg.

Advantage: Ohio State

DEFENSIVE LINE John Simon is the acknowledged standout on OSU’s defensive front with Nathan Williams still sidelined after arthroscopic knee surgery. Johnathan Hankins, a 335pound sophomore, also is a presence inside and Garrett Goebel has two tackles for losses.

Colorado’s best pass rusher, sophomore defensive end Chidera Uzo-Diribe (2.5 sacks), pursued his first sports love, basketball, until he was a junior in high school. He turned to football when he realized college recruiters wouldn’t come knocking on the door of a 6-foot-3 post player.

Advantage: Ohio State

LINEBACKERS Ohio State’s only returning starter, Andrew Sweat, was limping during the Miami game, an injury coach Luke Fickell said he was “fighting through.” His backup, Ryan Shazier, has been one of the pleasant surprises in the freshman class with three tackles for losses and a sack.

Douglas Rippy (26 tackles) is one of the leaders of Colorado’s defense. He spent most of his life in Columbus and graduated from Trotwood-Madison High School near Dayton.

Advantage: Ohio State

DEFENSIVE BACKS

ZACH BOREN The 6-foot-0, 252-pound junior fullback from Pickerington has matured into a leader for the offense as a two-year starter who contributes to the squad in multiple ways.

It’s safe to say Ohio State hasn’t gotten the level of play yet that it has become accustomed to in recent seasons from its defensive backfield. The defensive backs have only two interceptions and OSU has given up two passing touchdowns each of the last two games. Safety C.J. Barnett, back from a season-ending knee injury last year, might be the most consistent player in the secondary so far.

Turnovers have not been the specialty of the Buffaloes’ defensive backRUNNING BACKS Jordan Hall (87 yards on 14 carries) brought some much-needed speed field. Jon Major has the only interception so far this season.

Advantage: Ohio State and the potential for big plays to OSU’s backfield when he returned against Miami after a two-game suspension. Leg cramps limited him in the second SPECIAL TEAMS half, though. Expect him to get more carries this week.

Drew Basil kicked a pair of short field goals at Miami Columbus Brookhaven product Rodney Stewart (5-6, 175 pounds) ranks fourth all-time in rushing for Colorado. He has rushed for 223 yards this for the first successful kicks of his career. Punter Ben season and also has caught 18 passes. He rushed for 98 yards and caught Buchanan averaged 46.5 yards per kick in that game.

Colorado punter Darragh O’Neill averages 45.8 seven passes for 93 yards in a 28-14 win over Colorado State last Saturday. yards per punt. Kicker Will Oliver is 5 of 5 on field He could have something to prove after not being recruited by Ohio State. goals, with a long of 52 yards.

Buckeyes believe better days ahead COLUMBUS — Bruce Springsteen once sang, “Have a little faith, there’s magic in the night.”

A little less poetically and without the backup band, Ohio State offensive lineman J.B. Shugarts had some advice this week for Buckeyes’ fans anguishing over last week’s 24-6 loss to Miami.

“Have faith. Have faith. We’re Ohio State,” Shugarts said.

Shugarts, a senior, has been around long enough to know Ohio State fans. Believing in their team is almost a matter of faith.

And more than a few of them were having doubts after the ways OSU played at Miami.

The most hysterical among them hit the internet message boards before the Miami game was over to declare coach Luke Fickell was in over his head, that Joe Bauserman was the worst quarterback in Ohio State history and that he should be deported to North Korea.

OK, I made that last part up.

But if some of those guys knew how to find North Korea on a map, they would have posted it.

Faith might not be exactly what is called for, though.

Instead, maybe patience is what Shugarts should have suggested.

After all, Ohio State expected to have Terrelle Pryor, a fourthyear starter at quarterback. It expected to have Dan Herron running the ball and DeVier Posey catching the ball. And it thought it would have Mike Adams blocking for all of them.

Except for Pryor, they’ll be back Oct. 8 after serving their five-game suspensions for NCAA violations.

And maybe faith and Ohio State’s offensive capabilities will be restored then.

Or maybe not. “We’re Ohio State,” as Shugarts said, has come to mean winning 10 or more games, winning the Big Ten title and going to a BCS bowl.

That might not happen for this year’s Ohio State team.

There is the possibility they’re just not quite that good.

Colorado looks like the Indiana of the Pac-12, so things should be OK this week. But there are sterner tests down the road.

ARLO AND JANIS

HOROSCOPE Friday, Sept. 23, 2011 When you get any bright ideas about how to manage complex problems in the year ahead, discuss them with experienced people before taking action.

When you do, you might surprise yourself and others with the rapid results.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — If you know you don’t have all the facts at hand, don’t try to call the shots. Taking a speculative risk on something or someone can lead to big trouble or a major loss of some kind.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — When that common sense of yours is telling you to disengage yourself from something questionable, don’t ignore it. Remember, your better judgment is based on past experience.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — If you find yourself being disenchanted with the small stuff, it generally means your expectations are a bit too grand for your own good. Focus on quality, not size.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Although your judgment appears to be pretty good in most situations, don’t let that fool you. It could be a completely different story when it comes to money.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Your charm, wit and good looks are all valuable assets, but they will only carry you so far. It will take a whole lot of dedicated effort and experience to achieve success.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — If you build your castle out of sand, it and all your wishes will quickly be swept out to sea by the first adverse wave. Be able to distinguish between what is real and what is make-believe.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) — Keep your own counsel when it comes to your financial affairs, because, although people might mean well, they don’t always know what’s going on behind the scenes.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — If you want to be successful, it will be up to you to direct your own affairs. Do not leave even minor matters to chance, because the slightest occurrence can throw things off course.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — Someone who is overwhelmed might need your help, but do only what she or he wants and no more. You could unwittingly upset something the person already has going if you overstep your bounds.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) — Upsetting information that you get from someone you don’t know all that well shouldn’t be taken too seriously without first checking things out. This is especially so if money is involved.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Certain advice you offer a friend will be sound and helpful, yet when it comes to your own affairs you might ignore the same good common sense. Unfortunately, it’ll be your loss.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Make sure your judgment calls are all based on reality and not on wishful thinking. If you allow nonexistent factors to influence you, you’ll quickly come a cropper.

CAUTION 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 branches are Union 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.
