BY BETHANY J. ROYER Staff Writer broyer@dailycall.com

Look for iN75 inside today’s Call This week’s iN75 features a scary look at local haunted attractions for Halloween.

PIQUA — Now everyone can break out those cigars as Piqua City Commission announced their selection for city manager Tuesday afternoon as Gary A. Huff of Fishers, Ind. “I think they’ve done a thorough job and made an excellent

selection,” said economic development director and interim city manager Bill Murphy on commission’s having taken the time to find the right person for the position left empty by Fred Enderle’s retirement in July.

Commission will hold a special meeting on Thursday to discuss Huff’s employment, compensation and the terms of his contract.

With that approval, Murphy anticipates a start date for the new city manager as Monday, Oct. 24.

Huff comes to Piqua with six years of experience in Fishers and prior to that was the town man-

ager in Blacksburg, Va., home of Virginia Tech. Previously, he was deputy town manager in Leesburg.

“I spent a lot of time in Virginia,” Huff had said during his visit to Piqua back in July at the meet and greet held for area residents to get to know the three individuals vying for the city manager position.

Huff had said he was familiar with the Piqua area as his wife, Janet, has a sister in Marion and have driven on numerous occasions on U.S. Route 36 into the area and said they have, “Always admired the very nice community.”

TROY — Miami County Commissioners were pleased to report to a gathered audience of elected officials from throughout the county Monday that revenues are projected to outpace expenditures by the tune of more than a halfmillion dollars.

Commissioners collectively painted the picture of how this year is going and how they hope to finish it at the annual State of the County address at The Crystal Room in Troy to an audience of more than 200. Commissioners said a $600,000 surplus is expected.

Revenues are currently anticipated at $22.9, while expenditures are estimated to be at $22.3, commissioners reported.

While Commission President Jack Evans noted that while the amount might not seem like much, he added that “in today’s world, that is pretty good.”

However, Evans warned, that next year $1.2 million is expected

Update given to commissioners

BY BETHANY J. ROYER Staff Writer broyer@dailycall.com PIQUA — The final resolution of last week’s Piqua City Commission meeting was an update on the old hospital site at Park and Nicklin avenues.

Thanks to a $2 million grant from Clean Ohio Revitalization Fund (CORF) the city has been given an opportunity to once and

for all remove this longstanding eyesore that opened in 1905 as Ball Memorial Hospital.

The hospital went through several transformations over the years, including a part of the hospital being torn down and replaced in 1969, only to cease operation in 1996.

It stood vacant until the property was sold to Hospdela, LLC in 2005 for what was to be senior housing. A development that never happened thanks to a sour economy See Hospital/Page 5

■ Surviving Diabetes

Exciting times for this diabetic Two very exciting things happened recently. I’m going to try to cram both of them and my thankfulness for them in one column. I guess I’ll just work in chronological order to do this. There has to be some method to my madness.

Jenabella’s birthday was Sept. 19. Believe it or not, she is now three!

She’s in preschool and taking ballet classes.

Since her world seems to revolve around being a ballerina, that of course was the theme of the party. She loves all the girly things, so for her party we sent the boys, dads, grandpas and uncles to the park. The girls, with the grown up girls’ assistance, put the finishing touches on homemade tutus, did hair and make up and learned a dance. It was super fun and the girls had a blast! Like I do every year around her birthday, I want to thank all of you for supporting me during my pregnancy.

Bella lights up my life and your encouragement and prayers helped to bring her into it. I thank you from the very bottom of my heart!

The other exciting

through life with diabetes, and we’ve been able to form a relationship through this column.

We may have never actually met, but doesn’t it feel like we have? Therefore, I say thank you, thank you, thank you to the readers who took the time and sacrificed the money to support me with a donation! I especially want to thank Hobart Corporation in Troy. The company matches employee donations three to one. This year an employee donated $100. Hobart matched it with a $300 donation giving me a total donation of $400.

They made a huge donation last year as well.

That kind of support from a company is amazing!

On behalf of all of us living with diabetes, I say thank you!

Someone who attends the Type 1 Talk meetings (Remember, they’re held the last Sunday of every other month from 2-4 p.m. with the next one being in November) is doing his part to help find a cure for diabetes. Jody Malone is doing the Chicago and New York City Marathons to raise money for Cell Mates on the Run. Cell Mates on

JENNIFER RUNYON Columnist thing happened just this past Saturday. Did you guess the Juvenile Diabetes Foundation’s Walk to Cure Diabetes? If so, you guessed right. The walk was such a great day! Seeing all that support was so encouraging!

I ended up raising $1,146 or 229 percent of my goal.

The team total was $1,296 or 130 percent of the goal. This is simply amazing. And to think I was afraid I wouldn’t meet my goal of $500 and the team’s goal of $1,000.

I want to sincerely thank all of those who donated!

If it wasn’t for the support of my family, friends, readers and even my endocrinologist, I never would have that amount to put toward finding better treatments and a cure for this pain-in-the-butt disease. I’m so grateful that people have joined me on my journey

the Run is a fundraising effort for the University Illinois Chicagoof Chicago Diabetes project.

This project is focusing on transplanting islet cells from a donor into the liver of a person with diabetes. In a “normal” person, islet cells are in the pancreas and make insulin. In previous trials, there has been success. I believe this approach holds a lot of promise. In fact, I even contacted the university and had an application sent to me. It is with deep regret that I decided it just wasn’t practical for me to take part in a trial that far away at this time. However, in keeping with the gratefulness theme of this column, I want to thank Jody for doing the marathons. To support his efforts, visit http://www.active.com/donate/Ingnewyork2011/jod ymalone. Also, if you or someone you know is interested in attending a Type 1 Talk support group meeting, please email me at jrunyon@who.rr.com.

Nurse practitioner joins family medicine practice SIDNEY — Wilson Care Inc. announces the addition of a new medical provider to Dr. Frederick R. Simpson’s medical practice. Cindy Parziale, certified nurse practitioner (CNP), recently joined the practice working in a collaborative effort with Simpson and the rest of the staff, seeing and treating patients.

As a CNP, Parziale is an experienced registered nurse who has completed advanced academic education beyond her basic RN training. With her advanced training, she can assume some of the diagnostic and treatment responsibilities traditionally reserved only for physicians.

Parziale received her associate’s degree in nursing from Edison Community College followed by a bachelor of science degree in nursing from Indiana Wesleyan University. After several years obtaining experience as a registered nurse at Wilson Memorial Hospital, Parziale completed her master of science in nursing degree from Wright State University and began work as a certified nurse practitioner.

Parziale has a wealth of experience as a CNP with a specialized focus in women’s health, pediatric health, adult health, and family medicine. Prior to her decision to join Simpson, she worked for Mad River Internal Medicine in Bellefontaine for five years.

Simpson’s office is located at 1081 Fairington Dr., Sidney, and is open Monday through Friday, from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information or to schedule an appointment, call the office at (937) 493-0009.

Woman thanks all who made 99th birthday extra special

“Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,” (Romans 1:21-22 AKJV)

Guest Column

GOP Pledge to America a year later ‘This is not class I warfare. It’s math’ Commentary

n May 2010, House Republicans launched a project we called America Speaking Out. Through live forums, one-on-one meetings, and an innovative internet platform, people from throughout Ohio and every corner of America shared their priorities and concerns. You spoke out, we listened, and together developed our Pledge to America — a new governing agenda focus on your priorities: creating jobs, cutting spending, and removing barriers to private-sector job growth. You spoke out, we listened, and on Sept. 23, 2010 we unveiled our Pledge to America — a new governing agenda focused on your priorities: creating jobs, cutting spending, and removing barriers to private-sector job growth.

After one year, I believe we can honestly say we have been faithful to our pledge. And while there is still a lot more work to be done, we will continue to honor and fight for the promises we made.

Congressional Republicans heard clearly the message from the American people: elected leaders’ top priorities must be growing our economy, ending the federal government’s spending binge, and removing barriers that stand in the way of private-sector job creation.

JOHN BOEHNER We put forth a plan that 8th District Congressman would take important steps to encourage an environment for job growth with our Plan for America’s Job Creators. Our plan, which was builds on the Pledge, focuses on removing government barriers to private-sector job growth and ending the uncertainty facing families and small businesses.

As a former small businessman, I know tax hikes hurt job growth. And as it stands now, our tax code discourages investment and rewards special interests. Instead of raising taxes, we need to make the code simpler and fairer by lowering individual and corporate tax rates in exchange for closing tax loopholes and special carveouts. Our plan will increase revenues by putting more Americans back to work, and do so without raising taxes on job creators.

Unnecessary regulation from a government that is always micromanaging, meddling, and manipulating has stifled private sector job growth in America. While there are reasonable regulations, such as ones that protect our children and help keep our environment clean, there are also excessive regulations that increase costs for consumers and small businesses. Recently, we passed the Protecting Jobs from Government Interference Act, which blocks the federal government’s National Labor Relations Board from telling businesses where they can and can’t create new jobs. This type of interference from the federal government is hurting job creation across our country and we will continue to seek out and eliminate regulations that make it difficult to do business in America.

Finally, we’ve taken out-of-control government spending head on. In August, we passed the Budget Control Act of 2011 which cut government spending by more than it increased the debt limit; implemented spending caps to restrain future spending; and did not raise taxes. While it was not a perfect bill, this legislation cut and capped discretionary spending immediately, saving $917 billion over the next 10 years. It cut more than $21 billion in spending next year alone, and will continue to reduce the deficit in the years ahead.

There is still more government spending that can be cut, but we changed the discussion in Washington from ‘how much can we spend?’ to ‘how much can we cut?’

In the preamble to the Pledge to America, we promised to keep faith ‘with the values our nation was founded on, the principles we stand for, and the priorities of our people.’ And over the course of this year, House Republicans have worked hard to restore the People’s House to what was envisioned by our founding fathers. But we know there is always more work to be done.

Our pledge requires an ongoing commitment to listening to the people, allowing the House to work its will, and placing governance before politics. We intend to honor that commitment. I encourage you to learn more about our Pledge to America by downloading a copy for yourself via http://pledge.GOP.gov.

While we continue to be outnumbered in Washington, we hope the President and Democrats in Congress will work with us to find common ground and help put the priorities of the American people ahead of Washington’s.

Boehner represents Ohio’s 8th District, which includes all of Darke, Miami, and Preble counties, most of Butler and Mercer counties, and the northeastern corner of Montgomery County. He was first elected to Congress in 1990.

To the Editor: On the 17th of September this year, I celebrated my 99th birthday. It was a wonderful day and one that I am not likely to forget soon. I have had the great fortune to have accumulated a wealth of friends over my 99 years and my party was the perfect opportunity to see them all again and enjoy their company.

I want to thank my family for such a wonderful party and for all the wonderful surprises of the day. I had a very special weekend with my Nephew Jerry Sandham and I was surrounded by my daughter Charlyene, her husband John, my three granddaughter, and all of my great-grandchildren. What a celebration.

I also want to thank all of my friends for coming out to the party and enjoying the day with me. It definitely made the day even more special. Finally, thank you to each one of you who sent me a special birthday card. It has taken me several days to read them all as I have received well over a 100. I truly enjoyed them so much and cannot say enough about how loved I felt on my very own special birthday weekend.

I hope that I get the opportunity to celebrate with you all again next year. Heading to the 100 mark certainly makes the journey even sweeter with good friends and a loving family.

Thank you all again.

Chase suspect gets probation Local man eluded officers on July 7

Piqua, Covington and back through Piqua will not go to prison, but instead will serve three years on probation, a common pleas

BY WILL E SANDERS court judge ruled Monday.

Staff Writer In addition, Robert W. wsanders@dailycall.com Comstock, 55, must make TROY full restitution in the case — A for the 20-mile chase on Piqua July 7 that stemmed from m a n reported domestic a w h o episode involving his eseluded tranged wife and a handmultiple gun in the parking lot of a police Piqua fast food franchise. jurisdicRestitution in the case, tions in COMSTOCK which court records show July as Comstock had made prior he led a chase through to his court sentencing,

was for the amount of $1,501.21.

Comstock waived a Miami County grand jury’s consideration of his initial charge of failure to comply with a police officer, a third-degree felony, and instead entered into a plea agreement and entered a plea of no contest to an amended charge of inducing panic, a fifth-degree felony.

He faced a maximum prison term of one year in prison. Police initially believed Comstock had a gun, but either discarded it before the chase or dur-

ing it. Despite efforts to recover the gun, authorities never found it.

The chase began after a domestic violence incident took place in the vicinity of Lee’s Famous Recipe, 102 S. Sunset Drive, Piqua, that involved a woman police initially described as the man’s estranged wife.

During the incident, Comstock allegedly had a gun and rammed his vehicle into her vehicle before police were called and the chase ensued.

There were no serious injuries as a result of the crimes.

Orr Felt superintendent Tim Reed dies SUBMITTED BY ORR FELT CO. PIQUA — The Orr Felt Company and the Nicholas Family has lost one of its m o s t valued employe e s .

T i m Reed, O r r Fe l t ’s Plant SuperREED intendent had been with the company for 43 years. He was a conscientious, determined, behind-the-scenes type of employee that every good company needs.

Though he had little direct contact with customers,

Tim played a pivotal role in ensuring that they received the consistently high quality papermaker’s felts for which Orr is famous.

From scheduling to shipping, Mr. Reed oversaw the entire manufacturing operation at Orr. His credentials as a 43-year veteran of the company provided him with the background to expertly meet the demands of his job.

Mr. Reed started his career as a floor worker in the weaving department and subsequently worked his way up to weave room foreman.

After advancing his way through nearly every department, he was appointed to be plant manager and in 1989, as-

sumed the duties as plant superintendent.

Beyond his responsibilities in the manufacturing end, Mr. Reed was ahead of “Team One” of Orr’s SPC program and had been very active in all phases of SPC and quality control.

He had also been known to bend over backward for Orr customers by satisfying their emergency assistance requirements.

Mr. Reed was recognized the importance of teamwork in producing a superior product.

He acknowledged that a “successful manager is one who surrounds himself with good people.” He always gave the credit to “his foreman and his staff” for their diligence and their dedica-

Ohio School Facilities Commission. “Fingers crossed.”

In the meantime, members of the North Parks Neighborhood Association has been helping to maintain the property by taking care of the grass and weeds on the outer fence. The group recently requested to do likewise inside but liability issues has kept them out. It was an issue that was brought before commission during public comment by Piqua resident Russ Fashner last Tuesday.

Fashner had concerns, specifically on the use of the word “liability,” since the site was cleared by EPA and as documented in the removal of gallons, pounds, tons and some cubic yards of materials from the site.

“I think it was done in an abundance of caution,” Murphy said about the use of the term liability and that rather than environmental concerns, it fell to all the work that had been done on the property. Mur-

phy said that they “really wanted to minimize the liability risk.”

Mayor Lucy Fess expressed her appreciation to the group for their cleanup efforts, “The fact that you want to do this, I think that’s very admirable.”

An update after the meeting from Murphy and Fashner last week explained that law director Stacy Wall was working on a release for the park group to work inside the fence.

Commission meetings are held every first and third Tuesday of the month at 7:30 p.m. at the commission chamber on the second floor of the Government Municipal Complex.

The regularly scheduled commission meeting for Tuesday, Oct. 4, has been canceled due to a lack of business.

The next scheduled meeting will be Tuesday, Oct. 18. The public is encouraged and invited to attend.

Mr. Reed was a graduate of Miami East High School and a long time resident of Troy. He was a proud father of his daughter Mindy (Dave) Kiser and grandson Jordan.

During leisure time he spent many hours with his grandson; he was his pride and joy.

Unfortunately, the demolition contractor’s methods violated environmental regulations to the point Hospdela was ordered to remove the hazardous wastes outside the building and suspect material boarded up inside and the entire property restricted via fencing in 2009.

Thanks to the CORF grant the city was able to contract with Burgess and Niple Inc. for the cleanup.

“It seems like a very long process,” said interim city manager and economic development director Bill Murphy on the period of time it has taken to get to this point. However, with the property now under ownership by the city, the contract with Burgess and Niple adopted, cleanup can begin. A date tentatively projected for sometime late October into early November with the hope for a shovel-ready site by this time next year.

“We’re very excited to see this project finally rounding third and headed to home,” said Murphy, who would like to see a more aggressive timeline due to interest by the school district on a potential elementary school at the location.

“If they are successful with their campaign in November,” Murphy said on the 4.92 mill school levy that will help fund such a building project with the

Nursing home aide investigated Koester Pavilion worker placed on unpaid leave

BY MELANIE YINGST Ohio Community Media myingst@tdnpublishing.com TROY — A female Koester Pavilion nurse’s aide is on unpaid administrative leave according to Gail Peterson, UVMC’s public relations coordinator, pending an investigation by Miami County Sheriff’s Office.

The investigation stems from an incident on Sept.

23, of alleged improper contact between a female nursing home resident

and a female nurse’s aid.

According to the sheriff’s report, the alleged incident was witnessed by another nurse’s aide when she checked on a room to give the victim a sheet.

The witness claims to have found the suspect laying on top of the victim.

The report claims that both the victim and the suspect’s hands were at their sides with a sheet between them.

According to the statements made in the report, the alleged suspect admitted to have kissed the victim and telling the victim “I love you,” but denies laying on top of the victim.

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT

Mom and daughter disagree on who should pay for a date DEAR ABBY: My mother and I had a debate about who should pay for dates. She thinks the man should pay, especially if sex is involved because “you don’t want to give it away for free.”

I disagree. I say the man should pay for the first, and maybe the second date. After that, they can agree to alternate.

I have been seeing a wonderful guy for about six months. I’m pretty sure I make more money than he does, but even if I didn’t, I don’t feel the need to be supported. I don’t agree the guy should always have to pay. Times have changed since my mother dated. What’s the general consensus on the subject these days?

— INDEPENDENT WOMAN IN MARYLAND DEAR INDEPENDENT: The consensus is that you’re right. Times HAVE changed since your mother dated, and furthermore, paying for a date does not give the payer any guarantee of sexual favors. While in some regions, cultures and age groups there may be the expectation that the man pays, in today’s world many women expect to pay their fair share after the first couple of dates.

In other words, it’s COMMON to split a check or share the cost of an evening’s dinner and entertainment. The idea that a woman should put out for the price of a burger is, thankfully, passe. And that’s for the best, don’t you agree?

DEAR ABBY: I have known “Arthur” for more than 20 years. Since Day One, he has wanted more than friendship, but I made it clear that I never wanted more than a platonic relationship. I care about him, but have never had romantic feelings for him.

We spend a lot of time together between relationships with other people. (I was married for eight years out of our 20-year friendship.) Arthur comes over — we hang out, sometimes share a meal or watch a movie, etc.

Then we go to sleep in my bed. He SLEEPS in my bed, where there’s no hanky-panky. I’m content with things as they are.

He makes me laugh and I feel good about myself.

However, lately I sense he’s becoming too at-

Advice tached. I worry that I might be leading him on even though I’ve made it clear that I don’t want anything romantic or sexual. After 20 years, there are no gray areas left to analyze my intentions.

My friends think what I’m doing is wrong, that I might be keeping Arthur from moving forward in his life. Keep in mind that I encourage him to go out with friends and to date.

AM I doing anything wrong that may be hurting him in an indirect way?

— PLATONICALLY CONNECTED IN TEXAS DEAR PLATONICALLY CONNECTED: You are happy the way things are. Arthur appears to have accepted the relationship on your terms. While he may secretly hope that one morning you will roll over, open your eyes and realize that he’s Prince Charming, you have been honest with him from the beginning. I see no reason to end a relationship that is rewarding to both of you because your friends are meddling.

Your friends should mind their own business.

DEAR ABBY: I have a lot of health problems and need my rest. We have even disconnected the doorbell. So why do people ignore the “Do Not Disturb” sign on the front door and knock anyway?

— DISTURBED IN EUGENE, ORE. DEAR DISTURBED: Not knowing who’s doing the knocking, I’m guessing they’re people who are desperate to sell you something. Certainly no friend would behave that way.

It could have been agonizingly mawkish: the story of a young man with everything ahead of him who learns he has a rare form of spinal cancer, one that he only has a 50-percent chance of surviving.

The premise alone sounds like an insufferable drag, an example of eat-yourvegetables cinema, regardless of the catharsis that might result.

Instead, “50/50” is consistently, uproariously funny, written with humanity and insight and directed with just the right tone every time.

Comedy writer Will Reiser crafted the script based on his own cancer diagnosis when he was in his early 20s. His words are filled with dark humor and a wry recognition of the gravity of this situation, but also with real tenderness. His characters are so well-drawn that even when you see obvious developments looming on the horizon, they still feel fresh and offer some moments of surprise.

And director Jonathan Levine (in a vast improvement over his last film, the self-conscious “The Wackness”) pulls us into this intimate world through an abiding naturalism. Levine has accomplished a tricky bit of juggling here: He’s made a film about cancer that’s effortlessly affecting.

It helps a great deal that he has Joseph Gordon-Levitt, an actor of great range and subtlety, in the starring role. His character, Adam, a reporter at Seattle’s public radio station, receives the diagnosis after having a doctor examine him for chronic back pain. Everyone around him reacts differently to the news, and not necessarily well.

Adam goes through all the

He’s not always gracious in the face of adversity; he can be a little surly and smug and emotionally closed-off. He doesn’t even return phone calls from his understandably concerned mother (Anjelica Huston).

But Adam has a great balance in his lifelong best friend and co-worker, the garrulous and lovably crass Kyle (Seth Rogen), the kind of garrulous and lovably crass role Rogen has built a career upon.

Again, though, here’s an example of how “50/50” sneaks up on you: You think you know this guy, and then he shows a kindness and generosity you’d never expect. And it gives Rogen, who’s also a producer on the film, a rare opportunity to show some dramatic ability. Sure, he uses his buddy’s illness to line up sympathy sex for both of them but, you know, he means well.

Similarly, Anna Kendrick may seem familiar to you as Adam’s inexperienced, young therapist, Katherine; it

One very common form of defense against a suit contract is to force declarer to ruff in his hand.

The primary purpose is to

exhaust his trumps in the hope that the defenders can later gain the lead and cash whatever cards they have remaining in their long suit.

The declarer, of course, does all he can to resist this trump-shortening process. When he is blessed with nine or more trumps in the combined hands, he can usually withstand the onslaught.

When he has eight trumps, declarer’s position might be tenuous, but when his combined total is only seven, the situation may become downright precarious. This is why a side seldom chooses to play in a suit with only

seven trumps, especially when they are divided 4-3 or 5-2.

Observe declarer’s problem on this deal. A spade is led and continued, South ruffing the second one. If he now draws all the adverse trumps, he finishes with only nine tricks — five trumps and four clubs.

With all the trumps gone, the defenders score the ace of diamonds and three spades. This result is not surprising, since the chance of the opposing trumps dividing 3-3 is only 36 percent.

South can protect against the more likely 4-2 trump division (48 percent) by leading the jack of

diamonds after ruffing the spade at trick two. If the jack wins, he draws trumps and scampers home with 10 tricks.

If the jack loses to the ace and a spade comes back, South discards a diamond or a club in order to retain four trumps in his hand. The defenders are then kaput, since a spade continuation can be ruffed in dummy.

By adopting this approach, declarer can make the contract whenever the opposing trumps are divided 3-3 or 4-2, about an 84 percent probability.

seems like the kind of eager-beaver, overachiever role Kendrick has played before in films like “Up in the Air” and “Rocket Science.” But there’s a softness we’ve not seen from her before, a femininity that’s appealing. Adam is only her third patient, and within her bungling and stiff gestures of sympathy lies not just a strong desire to help, but also to be perceived as helpful. Their exchanges increase in intensity and provide the film’s biggest source of emotion.

Bryce Dallas Howard,

meanwhile, says all the right things but doesn’t really mean them as Adam’s girlfriend. She insists she’ll stick by him no matter what, but it’s clear from the start that she’s really trying to convince herself she’s capable of such loyalty. Howard is in a tough position here playing a woman of questionable decency, but Reiser’s script is decent enough to make her feel like a real human being — even as she flinches and flees from the horrors of chemotherapy.

Just when “50/50” threatens to become too unbearably sad, though, a character will say or do just the right thing to break the tension. It doesn’t let up necessarily, but it does provide a balance.

And it concludes in the most delicate way, with a moment that’s a lovely mix of romanticism and restraint. Perfect endings are hard to come by: “50/50” has one, and it wraps up one of the year’s best films.

“50/50,” a Summit Entertainment release, is rated R for language throughout, sexual content and some drug use.

Running time: 100 minutes. Four stars out of four.

Woman who taught Emeril how to cook dies at age 79 FALL RIVER, Mass.

(AP) — The woman who taught celebrity chef Emeril Lagasse how to cook has died in Massachusetts.

A family member says Ines De Costa died in her sleep in her Fall River home last weekend after doing what she loved most — spending all day

Wednesday, September 28, 2011

Friday cooking. She was 79.

De Costa’s daughter, Ines Bates, says a 5-yearold Lagasse used to sit and watch her mother in the kitchen when his family visited her restaurant.

Lagasse included many of De Costa’s recipes in his cookbooks, although

Dear Grandparenting: Leeza my granddaughter is 16 with a boy problem. She has been dating this guy since the summer and wants to make a clean break.

She’s bored with him.

Her boyfriend is not really interested in her beyond what most boys that age want, if you get my meaning. He is not my cup of tea but that doesn’t really matter. All I want is for Leeza to be happy and secure.

Leeza has horror stories about what other boys have done to girls who dumped them. If the boy leaves, that’s OK. The trouble starts when the girl wants out. Leeza doesn’t think he’s like that but I’m a protective grandmother who doesn’t like to take chances. One boy made this poor girl’s life so miserable she wound up moving to another state. I’ll skip the gory details, but one more thing is that Leeza’s father gave her mother a good going over after she asked for a separation. It even got physical. What’s your advice about how to handle this?

Belle, Knoxville, Tenn.

she was never afraid to scold him for fiddling with her ingredients.

Lagasse maintained a lifelong relationship with the woman he called his second mother.

don’t project. The idea is to get in and get out — what’s there to discuss really? It’s not easy to be hard and all business in these matters; giving him a heads up like “we need to talk” might prepare him for what’s in store.

As a rule, romantic entanglements are far easier to get into than get out of. The quicker the exit and the less time spent wallowing in the emotional mire, the sooner a grandchild’s heart can return to the hunt.

TOM & DEE HARDIE KEY KIDDER Columnists that same slow dance. If that’s all he’s after, it’s readily available elsewhere, so goodbye might not be such a problem after all. Our grandchildren’s generation has developed a taste for casual sex without commitments — a version of dating called “friends with benefits.”

When it comes to calling it quits, theory and practice diverge. Everybody has great advice, few will actually do it well. Here’s our book on breaking up: Don’t prolong the bleeding by being indecisive or leaving open the possibility things might work out.

Phrases like “we’ll always be friends” or “this is best for you” invite argument. It’s best to make a surgical cut, face-toface, in a way that’s respectful but firm and final. Keep the discussion in the here and now;

GRAND REMARK OF THE WEEK Maxie from West Reading, Pa. is not one of those “grandmothers who frets and fusses” about feeding the grandkids when they come over to visit.

“If they’re here, I want to be with them, not tied up in the kitchen. So the menu for my grandkids always consists of two choices: take it or leave it.”

Dee and Tom, married more than 50 years, have eight grandchildren. Together with Key, they welquestions, come suggestions and Grand Remarks of the Week.

Try this homemade cheese spead at your next get together LOVINA EICHER The Amish Cook church. I made the jam for her which is the green tomato jam recipe I shared in last week’s column. I used strawberry gelatin so it tastes really close to strawberry jam.

Daughter Elizabeth made two batches of peanut butter cookies for Jacob and Emma’s church services.

Elizabeth, 17, and Susan, 15, stayed home Friday to do my work while Joe and I went to Emma and Jacob’s. The girls did laundry and the weekly cleaning and Elizabeth also baked the cookies. Joe and I came home around 6:30 p.m. and it was nice to see the house all clean and the laundry folded and put

away. Sometimes I wonder how I managed to get all my work done when the girls were younger.

Joe also mopped the shed floor at Jacob’s yesterday so he could help set up the church benches today. They will also hang chains outside the barn to make room for visitors to tie their horses. I will help Emma prepare the peanut butter and cheese spreads for tomorrow.

This morning we had 50 degrees outside and the air feels chilly. Jacob’s borrowed our propane heater in case it is cool and they need to heat the building for church services tomorrow.

Susan managed to finally get our yard all mowed Our mower gave up on us and we have it back now from being serviced. This whole summer the boys had been doing the mowing which really helped.

It is early on Saturday morning as I write this and everyone else is still in bed. I decided to get up early today to write this column.

A 79-year-old member of our church district passed away yesterday morning. He had been a widower for the past 23 years. While he didn’t have any children, he leaves to mourn a lot of relatives in this area. He had lived with his niece and her family and had his own part of the house.

The viewing will be there and the funeral will be at another niece’s house on Monday. I will help out at the funeral.

Meanwhile, we’ve been busy helping sister Emma and her husband Jacob. My husband Joe and I and the children will go to Emma and Jacob’s today to help with final preparations for church which will be held there tomorrow. Yesterday Joe and I also assisted them with their work. I helped Emma do jobs inside the house while Joe worked outside in the building where church will be held. He put up a partition using canvas on one end of the building so lunch could be served there tomorrow.

Jacob’s will have council meeting (Editor’s note: some Amish refer to this service as “rule church,” when, as the name implies, rules of the church are discussed. It is usually held the service before Communion) tomorrow so services are longer than usual, lasting until 2:30-3 p.m. Council services are held in preparation for Communion services.

Everyone does get a lunch break. Two tables are set and everyone takes turns to come eat starting around 11 o’clock until everyone is fed.

Emma plans to have chicken noodle soup, bologna, cheese spread, peanut butter spread, pickles, red beets, hot peppers, jam, wheat and white bread, and four different kinds of cookies.

The bread and cookies are all being brought in by women from our

HOROSCOPE Wednesday, Sept. 28, 2011 If from time to time in the year ahead you get some very strong hunches regarding business or other serious matters, do not treat them with indifference. They will definitely be worthy of further investigation.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Not only will companions appreciate your charisma, they will equally welcome your leadership qualities as well. No one will challenge the example you set or mess with your directives.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Friends know that when you are told something in confidence no one will pry it from you. Someone who needs to vent will share private information with you that others won’t hear until much later.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — When involved in a group activity, be sure to make the rounds instead of singling out one person for special attention. Converse equally with one and all, and everything will go smoothly.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Capricorns can sometimes be extremely single-minded and standoffish or extremely outgoing when necessity demands. This could be one of those days when you’ll have to make a choice.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — If at all possible, seek endeavors that will enable you to utilize your imagination and creativity. It will encourage you to come up with some ideas that you’ll be proud of.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — It might look to others that you’re likely to take things at face value, but actually you won’t be easily deceived.

Slick salespersons or con artists won’t find you to be an easy mark at all.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) — There is no excuse for ducking an important decision just because you think it’s overly tricky. If you don’t have the courage to render a judgment call now, you never will.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — It’s important to realize that details can be just as important as major factors when rendering a decision. Remember that each small part is essential to the making of the whole.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — You’ll get far more out of being with companions who are young in spirit than you will spending time with somber fellows. It’ll be the youthful in mind who will help you feel young at heart.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) — It is so wonderful of you to be protective and cherishing of those you love, but be careful not to carry this too far. You must take care to leave your dear ones some breathing space.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Your natural ability to read the character of others is exceptionally pronounced.

However, a word of caution: Keep your critical evaluations to yourself.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — One of your better virtues is your willingness to teach and share your knowledge with others. You could have some real gems of information that’ll save people money. Don’t hold back.

Defensive dynamo Bachman rewrites Piqua record book

Air time is 7 p.m.

Bachman, the daughter of Keith and Julie Bachman, has done it better than anyone in Piqua school history — last year she broke Megan Rasor’s The Vandalia-Butler at Troy football game Friday will air on

school record for digs in a single season with 306 — and Saturday she broke Rasor’s career record when she recorded her 590th dig early in a match with Oakwood at the Piqua Invitational.

Bachman had 614 digs entering Tuesday’s match with Lebanon.

“It is not something I thought about (back when I was a freshman),” Bachman said. “I just wanted to be as good a player as I could be. When I was a freshman, coach (Chris Davis) told me I was going to start on varsity. That was pretty exciting to me.”

BY ROB KISER Sports Editor rkiser@dailycall.com ARCANUM — One stroke was all that separated Lehman Catholic and Russia boys golf teams in the Division III sectional Tuesday at Beechwood Golf Course.

But, all that really concerned both teams is that they are returning to district next Thursday at Weatherwax Golf Course in West Middletown.

Lehman won with a 336 total, while Russia was second with 337.

Russia senior Corey Bremigan was medalist, shooting 76 in less than ideal scoring conditions.

“I guess it was (just enough to win),” Lehman coach Elmer Schlater said about his team’s total.

“But, all that really matters is we are going on to district. This is our 11th straight year doing that.”

For Russia coach Paul Bremigan, the feeling was similar.

“We were nervous coming in here,” he said. “Treg (Francis) has been sick.

Bachman ROB KISER/CALL PHOTOS

Continued from page 13 for almost a decade. Because of her size, she knew what her role was going to be in volleyball.

“I started in the third grade,” she said. “I have always played defense. I have worked really hard at it and have gotten better every year.”

And from the start, Piqua varsity coach Chris Davis has been her coach almost every year.

Part of the reason for that is Bachman is the same age as Davis’ daughter Jasmine, who is currently Piqua’s setter.

And it didn’t take long for this year’s junior class to find success on the volleyball court — they did not lose a match in their two years in junior high.

“I definitely thought we would be successful in high school,” she said. “We expected to win a lot of matches.”

And Davis is not surprised by Bachman’s success as a libero either.

“I knew she (Taylor Bachman) could be (very good),” Davis said. “But, I never pushed her. It was up to her to put the work in and she has done that.”

The only thing new for Bachman at the high school level was the uniform — libero’s wear a different colored uniform than anyone else.

“I kind of like that,” she said. “We didn’t have the libero in junior high. As soon as I got to high school, I became a libero.”

And Bachman has a flair for playing defense — she likes to make sure people are aware of her, which has made her a vocal leader.

“I like to be loud so people will notice what I am doing,” she said.

There is no doubt she has gotten the attention of other hitters with her ability to take would-be kills away.

“You have your area of the court,” she said. “You like to have blocks on the girl (hitting the ball), but when you don’t have, there is a certain amount of reading the hitter that you have to do.”

Which is something Bachman excels at.

“You like to have your

“But, Taylor (Bachman) has taken it to another level where she will read the hitter and get there by reacting and anticipating.”

And she picks up things very quickly.

“Just like this year, I threw the two-girl serve receive at Taylor (Bachman) and Shelby (Vogler),” Davis said. “It took them a few matches, but they got it very quickly and have handled it well.”

Piqua senior Brooke Reinke broke the career kills record earlier this season — and while the records are nice, both would tell you winning big matches, like the Vandalia-Butler match earlier this season, mean a lot more.

“I wouldn’t be here without my teammates,” Bachman said. “That was great to beat Butler — I think getting these records has added to the team’s confidence.”

This week is a big week for Piqua — state-ranked Lebanon visited Tuesday, travels to Piqua Greenville tonight and Troy visits for Senior Night Thursday — with the GWOC North title on the line.

“If you had asked me last Friday, I couldn’t have told you who we play this week,” Davis said. “I was focused on Oakwood, our first match Saturday, and then just taking it from there. We beat Vandalia in the tournament last year — I think the biggest thing beating them this year did was show it wasn’t a fluke (last year).”

And Davis has a simple explanation for Piqua taking another step forward this year.

“They just get along so well,” he said. “We have a team-bonding night (weekly). That’s to give the girls who didn’t play last year a chance to get to know everyone. If you can get along off the court, then that just makes everything easier on the court.”

Just like having a “defensive dynamo” at the libero position.

Golf Continued from page 13 We weren’t sure how he was going to play and he had a great round (79).

You just never know what can happen.”

Lehman’s consistency was the key.

All four Cavalier scores that counted were in the 80s.

“Four of our five golfers were in the 80s,” Schlater said. “That is what you have to do. We know we are going to have to play a lot better next week, but the conditions today were pretty tough.”

Ben Thieman, who led Lehman with an 80, wasn’t happy with his score despite the tough conditions.

“I didn’t hit the ball very well,” he said. “I just wasn’t crisp. That (battling) is exactly what I did today. I am probably going to go see a pro (to get instruction). If I want to get back to state (he played with the team two years ago and as an individual last year), I have got a lot of work to do.”

Other Lehman scores were John Copella 82, Tyler Bergman 85, Sam Dean 89, Bryce Eck 109.

“The team did well because of our consistency,” Thieman said. “That is what you have to have.”

That consistency helped Lehman coach Elmer Schlater achieve a milestone earlier this season.

“I got my 200th dual win, which is pretty special,” Schlater said. “I have

Corey Bremigan handled the tough conditions better than anyone, carding matching nine-hole scores of 38.

“It got really windy the last nine holes,” Bremigan, who started on the back nine, said. “You have to have a little luck out there. My bad shots ended up in some pretty good places. I got some good bounces. I really didn’t think about it (being medalist). May main concern was the team make it.”

two of the top three scores on the day.

Luke Kindeln of Anna was second with 77, followed by Francis, whose 79, included a 38 on his back nine.

“Those two kind of carried us,” Paul Bremigan said. “Treg had a great round for not feeling that well. Corey has been playing better — he has been hitting more greens. Earlier in the season he was getting up-and-down a lot.

Now, he is hitting more greens.”

Austin Tebbe and Bryce Dues both had 91s for Russia, while Eli Puthoff had a 101.

Dues came in with a 43 on his second nine to help

“It is always tough and lot of pressure was on these two ladies to win their court to get the match. I am thrilled for Andrea and Abby to have their first varsity win be this one.

In singles, Sarah Dankworth lost to Brandi Rebmann 6-2, 6-2; Breanna Peters lost to Eiddhi Cholsy 6-1, 6-0; and Corinne Crawford defeated Erica Burton 6-1, 64.

“Corinne Crawford got her first varsity win tonight, too,” Burkhardt said. “She came out strong in the first set, serving well and hitting the last ball in almost every rally.

In no time she had the first set, but I warned her that the opponent was starting to be more consistent with her shots and that their rallies were getting longer.

“Corinne and her opponent held their serves in the second set until the final game when Corinne broke serve to win it. I was happy for Corinne to get this win.”

There were many deuce games and unforced errors by both players but Breanna pulled out the second set to force a third set.

“I was pleased with Breanna’s play and how she hung there not letting herself get down after the first set. It is just too bad that after working so hard and finishing points in the second set that she ran out of steam in the third set.”

In doubles, McCullough and Weidner defeated Brittney Morgan and Augustina Romine 6-3, 6-2; and Ferree and Helman lost to Tamra Mason nd Miranda Eagle 6-1, 6-0.

“Kim McCullough and Haley Weidner have won back to back matches with their defeat of Xenia today,” Burkhardt said.

“This team works well together and it has been good to see them grow as a doubles team. It was fun watching these ladies attack the ball at the net today.”
