Fundraiser to benefit mauling victim

PIQUA — An upcoming fundraiser initiated by a Piqua man after his granddaughter suffered a serious dog attack injury last year will again be held for a second time this year — and this time, all of the proceeds are going to dog mauling victim Sandra Getzendiner.

John Emrick of Piqua said he remembers how he felt when he learned his granddaughter Rylee had been attacked in the face by a dog last year, which is why he started the fundraiser last year.

The event well so well that the Gasson family raised enough money through two events to successfully pay off one of the surgeries Rylee needed. More than 250 people participated in the See Fundraiser/Page 8

ous benefits to the city, the trail has been lacking a connection to other destinations, as pointed out

by Schmiesing at the vision workshop and one that the city has recently completed with the finished construction to Peterson Road. Current construction on the Eldean Road to Lytle Road trail between Piqua and Troy should be completed later this year.

All that remains is a connection between Piqua and Troy that will require a bridge over the Great Miami River south of Peterson Road. This construction has a completion date slated for 2013.

Once the bridge is finished, the trail will extend as far south as Hamilton.

not an easy task since supplies from food to weapons had to be secured for soldiers signing up for 94th Regiment of the Ohio Volunteer Infantry.

Oda said with soldiers coming from Miami County and surrounding areas like Clark, Greene and Darke counties, a force of more than 1,000 men was soon assembled to form a company by August.

Col. Joseph Frizell was the new unit’s commanding officer. While the new soldiers were busy drilling for their new life in the military, they were lacking in many of the basics they needed for the long journeys that lie ahead.

“The 94th Regiment wasn’t very organized,” Oda said. “They were drilling, but they didn’t have rifles and they didn’t have a lot of equipment,” he said. “There was a shortage of boots, too,” Oda said, noting during the early stage of the Civil War there was no mass production of goods, resulting in the local unit not getting supplies until it was nearly time to leave Camp Piqua.

“On Aug. 23, the unit was formally mustered into the 94th Regiment for federal service,” Oda said.

“It wasn’t until Aug. 27 that they got rifles on a train from Columbus. And even then, they had limited ammunition.”

The soldiers lived on the grounds of the farm, while Col. Johnston’s former home served as headquarters and hospital.

Outside contractors were secured to also killing stray chickens and turkeys to supplement their supply of meat.

There was nothing fancy about life in the military camp. The soldiers slept in tents and ate standing up, using planks held up by crossed pieces of timber to serve as a crude sort of table.

Since canteens had yet to be delivered, the soldiers drew their drinking water from the spring on the farm.

Despite the fact there were 1,000 men in the regiment, Oda said they drilled in small units.

“They never drilled as a whole regiment,” Oda said.

On Aug. 28, the newly mustered unit received its orders to head south to join up with other Union Army units. Oda said there are no surviving newspapers from the era, but it is safe to assume that patriotic Piqua residents turned out en mass to see the new soldiers march through town to the Dayton & Michigan Railroad depot where they boarded a train for Lexington, Ky. Unlike earlier wars where the soldiers had to march great distances to the front, with the advent

Darian Roberts and Leila Roberts. She also is survived by one brother, Delbert “Pete” Parkinson of Natrona, Pa., and numerous nieces and nephews.

Myrtle formerly worked at Val-U Dress Shop and Montgomery Ward. She was a longtime member of Troy Gospel Tabernacle where she taught Sunday school and Junior Church for nearly 40 years stopping only when her illness prohibited her. Her true loves in life were her children’s ministry and her family. Her door was always open and over the years many of her extended family had spent time living with her. The message her family will remember that she taught them and by which she lived is “Be Kind”.

Services will be held at 11 a.m. Monday at the Baird Funeral Home, Troy, with the Pastor Ervan Holland officiating.

Interment will follow in the Miami Memorial Park in Covington.

The family will receive friends from 3-5 p.m. Sunday at the funeral home.

Memorial contributions may be made to the Troy Gospel Tabernacle Building Fund.

Camp Piqua Continued from page 1 up arms against the United States.

By the time the Civil War began nearly 50 years later, Johnston had passed away and members of his family no longer lived on the farm just north of Piqua. Nonetheless, the farm would be the scene of another important page in U.S. history.

Not long after Fort Sumter was attacked in April 1861 in the first battle of the Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln issued orders to raise additional manpower to bolster the Union Army in its epic struggle against the Confederate Army.

Piqua, and Johnston Farm in particular, entered the fray during the summer of 1862. Local historian Jim Oda said in June 1862, Ohio Gov. David Tod issued an order for the establishment of Camp Piqua on the grounds of what is now the Johnston Farm & Indian Agency on Hardin Road, just east of State Route 66, which was at the time an old Indian trail.

Each county in Ohio formed a military committee. The Miami County committee was under the leadership of Col. Mitchell and he was made commander of Camp Piqua.

“He was in charge of getting them camp organized,” Oda said, which was

of the railroad, linking up with other units was much faster.

The 94th Regiment’s organization woes continued when they reached Lexington. “That’s as far as their orders went,” Oda said. “They had no food, no water.”

They were soon ordered to march 15 miles out of Lexington. Since they still had no canteens, the soldiers decided to fill some barrels with water when they found a spring on Aug. 31, 1862. That action proved ill-advised.

“They were ambushed

by Confederate soldiers,” Oda said. “Two soldiers were killed and six were wounded. They had been mustered in for just six days when they were in their first skirmish,” Oda said, remarking the new soldiers were quickly introduced to the harsh world of warfare.

The dire need for more soldiers continued as thousands were being lost during the early stages of the

war when the Confederate Army held the advantage.

Once again, Camp Piqua served as the training ground for new soldiers, this time the 110th Regiment of the Ohio Volunteer Infantry.

Col. J. Warren Keifer served as commanding officer for the new unit. Soldiers came from surrounding areas to fill out the regiment, but Piqua put forth a large number of volunteers. Oda said the city only had a population of about 4,500 at the time, but supplied about 400 to 500 men to fight the War Between the States, as the Civil War was sometimes called.

Oda said the 110th Regiment fared a little better in securing equipment and provisions that their 94th Regiment counterparts.

“They were better equipped, but their still had no rifles,” he said of the 110th’s early training period.

The 110th mustered out in late September and left

on the Columbus, Piqua and Indianapolis Railroad on Oct. 19, 1862, bound for Zanesville where they boarded a steam ship on their trek to western Virginia.

With the completion of the 110th’s training, Camp Piqua was permanently closed.

Camp Piqua’s place in American history was commemorated in September 1906 with the dedication of a monument still standing on Hardin Road a short distance from the field where there Union soldiers were introduced to Army life. The monument was erected by the Daughters of the Grand Army of the Republic (GAR) and the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR). Oda said the monument was crafted by Eby and Hauk of Piqua.

Lehman Catholic students Hayley Baker and Lauren Goettemoeller sign their names to volunteer as Big Buddies as Big Brothers/Big Sisters representative Sheila Lundy tells them more about opportunities available for volunteering.

Lehman holds annual Opportunity Days SIDNEY — Recently, Lehman Catholic High School Student Council sponsored their biannual “Opportunity Day.” Opportunity Days have been a part of the Lehman Catholic culture for some years, and serve to acquaint students with ways that they can volunteer within the community.

The first speaker was Sheila Lundy from Big Buddies. This youth version of Big Brothers/Big Sisters is an afterschool activity for K-3 youngsters and high school volunteers.

The participating “littles” are referred by school counselors or parents and are generally children living with a single parent or another relative who need positive role models. High school students build a relationship with their buddies by playing games, reading, and doing interactive activities.

Betsy Naseman, a music therapist representing Dorothy Love Retirement Community, spoke to the students about volunteering to do activities with the residents there. A 2001 Lehman graduate, Naseman told the students that the residents like to play games or cards, make crafts or sew, or listen to music. Dorothy Love has Wii games and a computer system called “It’s Never Too Late” designed for older users. Most of the residents just need one-onone interaction to get involved. She urged the students to share their talents and time with the older generation. “It can prove to be a wonderful experience for both the residents and the volunteers.

Young people put a smile on the faces of our residents — they love it when you come.”

That sentiment was echoed by Anita Miller and Janet Landis, representing Fair Haven Shelby County Home. Fair Haven also has Wii games, and residents there welcome young volunteers to join them for activities. The time spent can

be rewarding for both sides. “If you spend time with an older person, you will learn so much from them,” said Miller.

Father Dan Hess, Lehman’s chaplain, talked about ways that students can be of service in their Catholic parishes, including becoming lectors and Mass servers. “You are not just the future of our parishes, you are our present,” said Hess, who is associated with Holy Angels Parish. “There are many ways to serve, from reading at Mass to raking leaves.” Students were urged to seek out these service opportunities at their own parishes.

Junior Lauren Bosway then spoke about a beforeschool Bible Study program conducted by Jon Paul Hebert, youth minister at St. Boniface and St. Mary Parishes. The program is titled “Wake Up with the King” and the classes will meet at 7 a.m.

Friday mornings for the next eight weeks.

Junior Michael Jacob spoke on behalf of the Interact Club, the high school version of Rotary International. Interact is involved with numerous service projects throughout the school year. Last year, they raised money to support the “Make A Wish” Foundation and to send school supplies to African children.

Senior Colleen Kinninger presented information about the Lehman Pro-Lifeguards, an organization on campus dedicated to fighting for the Right-to-Life. Among the activities of the club are peaceful protests at the abortion clinic in Dayton, the annual March for Life in Washington D.C. in January, and the placement of white crosses on the school lawn in May to represent lives lost to abortion each day.

Junior Nicole Larger spoke about Relay for Life, a national organization that raises money for cancer research. The Lehman

team participates annually in the Shelby County Relay for Life. Lehman’s “Cancer Crusaders” have raised more than $30,000 for this cause. Lehman’s team collects aluminum cans for recycling through their “Can Cancer” initiative, and sponsors activities at the school’s Field Day in May. Following the presentations about service opportunities, Sister Ginny Scherer told students about extracurricular science clubs, including Science Olympiad and JETS-TEAMS, an engineering competition.

“Often students want to study engineering in college, but they have no idea what an engineer does,” said Scherer. “Joining one of these competitive science activities provides insight into the kinds of problem solving and working in teams that engineers do on a daily basis.”

For everyone who lives on milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, since he is a child. But solid food is for the mature, for those who have their powers of discernment trained by constant practice to distinguish good from evil.

Listening to the voices of Ohioans The way we live now Commentary

believe that most decisions in life should be made by the individuals who will be directly affected by them. They should not be made by bureaucrats in a centralized location, people who have never, and will never, meet those which their decisions and actions impact.

Since the passing of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, or “Obamacare,” Americans began to understand that their healthcare decisions may soon no longer be made in the doctor’s office or at the kitchen table, but rather in Washington.

At a time when the United States and Ohio are in desperate need for job creation, the federal healthcare law will result in just the opposite. Due to the size and cost of the program, government will inevitably increase spending on healthcare, which will trickle down to taxpayers RICHARD ADAMS and small businesses. Sim79th District Ohio ply implementing the law House of Representatives will be costly in itself, but the costs that are sure to come down the road will be additionally harmful to our struggling economy. Anyone who follows politics knows that the government has a habit of spending more money than it originally intended or promised. In fact, some estimates show the plan to cost up to $100 billion more than initially expected. If you think health care is expensive now, wait until it’s “free.”

Businesses will be forced to abide by new standards and regulations, pay higher taxes and face harsh penalties, thus diminishing the incentive to create jobs. While the law will not fully be in effect until 2014, side effects are already being felt today. The size of the bill itself has caused a great deal of uncertainty in the marketplace; business owners simply do not know what to expect. Because of this, many are unwilling to take the risk of making important decisions, such as hiring new employees or expanding services.

As people and states gradually learned more and more about the law and its effects, they began to spring into action. Ohioans took matters into their own hands and gathered enough signatures to ensure a vote. Because of their efforts, Ohioans will have a voice on the healthcare mandate come November.

I will continue to support legislation that will enhance the freedom of all Ohioans, and I am always eager to listen to my constituents. Please do not hesitate to contact my office with questions or ideas related to the future of our great state.

To the Editor: This letter is one of support for the levy we will be voting on in November for the three new school facilities.

This October marks our family’s fourth year here, and moving here from Syracuse, N.Y., we were met with the reality of school levies. This has been a hard one for us to understand, because everywhere else we have lived we have not had tax levies for education that were to be voted on. Educating our children here in Piqua is a top priority for us and one that we are very passionate about.

We moved our family in 2009 to Piqua from Sidney, because of the excellent reputation of the schools here…and we have never been sorry for that move!

Our son’s education was kicked off at Nicklin and Stephanie Wehrman got him on the right track in kindergarten and Ashley Bogguss at High Street continued his education in 1st grade in the same outstanding way. Our son is now in second grade with Susan Subler at High Street. There he continues to be challenged and is growing by leaps and bounds because of his teacher’s dedication to what she does. For that my husband and I are very appreciative. We feel fortunate to have such fine and dedicated teachers here in our community.

As I said, we support the levy vote that will be on our ballot in this upcoming election. It is a no brainer vote for us. You just need to walk into our school buildings to see that they need replacing. Our children and teacher’s deserve the best environment in which to do their work; they are preparing for all our futures while in school, so why not give them the best environment to do so?

I think our son said it best when he returned home from school this past August after a 100 degree day, he met me after getting off the bus, with not “Hey, Mom!” as he normally does. No on this day he looked at me with pleading eyes and a question… “Please tell me you are voting yes on the levy.

We were dying in the heat today! It was hard to learn.”

How can I say no to that?

■ Contract Bridge — By Steve Becker

From the mailbox

Dear Mr. Becker: You have said many times that the best players seldom misguess the location of a missing queen. I don’t doubt that this is true, or you wouldn’t say it, but just the same, I wonder how you’d solve the diamond problem in this deal without seeing the opponents’ cards.

I was South in three

notrump, and West led the deuce of spades. I took East’s king with the ace and could see that I had nine tricks if the diamonds were divided 2-1. I also realized that if the diamonds were divided 30, I could still make the contract by guessing which opponent had the Q-x-x.

If East had three diamonds, I could trap the queen by initially leading a low diamond to dummy’s king; if West had them, I’d have to play the ace of diamonds first.

Unfortunately, I played low to the king and ended up down four! Should I have guessed how to play the diamonds? Sincerely yours, Miserable in Missoula.

Dear M in M: I think so, but first let’s study the

problem. It seems best to start by making two fairly reasonable assumptions. First, that West’s deuce-of-spades lead is truly fourth-best, giving him only four spades, and second, that he would have led from a five-card suit if he had one.

It follows that West cannot be void of diamonds, because he would then have a five-card club or heart suit. It also follows that if West does not have a diamond void, he is the only one who can have all the missing diamonds. Therefore, you should have cashed the ace at trick two.

It is, of course, always possible that West led his fifth-best spade and has two other four-card suits, or even a second five-card

suit. But, as a practical matter, you should assume that West made a normal lead, not an abnormal one. Hope this answers your question, S.B. Tomorrow: quiz.

Husband’s constant correcting wears down wife’s happiness DEAR ABBY: My husband, “Will,” and I have been married three years.

It’s a good marriage on most levels, but what causes most of our problems is the way he treats me. Will always assumes his way is correct. When I do something around the house, he comes up behind me and re-does it — including refolding the clothes. He even corrects the way I speak and pronounce words.

It has gotten to the point that I have shut down. I don’t do much of anything around the house anymore because I figure it’s a waste of my time. Will gets angry and makes fun of my “laziness.” How do I get through to him that some things aren’t worth making me feel miserable?

When I try to explain how he makes me feel, he gets mad and pouts.

Advice He also isn’t listed on the official Purple Heart recipient registry, which makes me wonder where he got the medal.

Uncle Bernie hasn’t been feeling well, so he has prepared his obituary, which notes that he was a recipient of the Purple Heart. He has also told us he wants the medal displayed at his funeral. I am aghast! I don’t think I’ll be able to grin and bear this one, Abby. He’s a fake, and I don’t want his children and church to be embarrassed. What he’s doing is wrong. What would YOU do?

That he would masquerade as a war hero having never set foot in a war zone is disgusting. If I were in your situation I’d wait patiently until the time comes, then talk to his family about the potential embarrassment. When the obituary is published, reference to the medal should be omitted, and at the funeral the medal should not be displayed.

Uncle Bernard won’t know the difference, trust me.

DEAR GETTING TIRED: From your description of your household, your relationship with your husband is NOT “good.” In fact, the way Will is treating you could be considered a form of abuse.

By constantly belittling and correcting you, he is trying to assert control and shake your confidence in yourself.

A husband who pouts and makes you feel bad when you tell him he’s making you miserable is a poor life partner. He may be insecure, overbearing or have OCD. Or he could be a potential abuser.

Mosque designed to blend in, not stand out HILLIARD (AP) — The commanding white structure sits on the edge of cornfields in the suburbs, striking in design yet puzzling in its purpose. One of the largest new Islamic worship centers in the country doesn’t look like a mosque, at least at first glance.

And that’s what its developer was aiming for, especially in a post-9/11 world. “We went to the architect and explained that we didn’t want a building that stood out as a mosque,” said Khaled Farag, who also is one of the mosque’s founders.

“We wanted something that fit into a residential neighborhood.

We wanted an American mosque,” Farag said.

The result is a cultural contradiction: a building that is not immediately recognizable as an Islamic house of worship, but is one, as well as a facility that functions as a seven-day-a week interactive museum about all things Islam.

“It’s not your traditional-looking mosque, because it’s not just a mosque,” said Abdul Aburmaieleh, a regular worshipper who also custom-built his home in a nearby upscale subdivision.

“Prayer is done as one func-

tion,” he said. “It’s a community center, a cultural center.”

Fair or not, Muslims building a new mosque face far more scrutiny than Christians erecting a new church. Plans to create an Islamic cultural center near the site of the terrorist-destroyed World Trade Center caused an uproar last year. The developer of that center, which opened last week, says the biggest mistake was not involving the families of 9/11 victim from the beginning.

Central Ohio is home to a growing Muslim population of more than 25,000, or more than double what it was 10 years ago.

Census figures show a majority are from Somalia Columbus has the second-biggest U.S. Somali population after greater Minneapolis along with immigrants from Egypt, Iraq, Lebanon and Syria, among other countries. The region’s relatively stable economy and comfortable lifestyle have long been a draw.

Plans for the Noor Cultural Islamic Center were well under way before the Sept. 11 attacks.

After the tragedy, the center added interior glass walls and additional windows and launched an aggressive community outreach program. Farag says the

goal was to make the building more user-friendly for non-Muslim visitors.

The $7.4 million center opened five years ago this month. During the August celebration of Ramadan, the annual Muslim holy month of fasting, supporters raised the final $360,000 to pay off the construction debt.

Ohio’s best-known mosque, built by the Islamic Center of Greater Toledo in 1981, sits near Interstate 75, visible for miles with its striking dome and minarets, the tall towers used historically to call worshippers to prayer.

The Noor center deliberately lacks minarets, and its domes hug either side of the building in understated fashion. Its gabled roof echoes the peaks of barns that dot Ohio’s rural landscape.

Its many windows make it easy for visitors to look inside and once they’re inside, to observe worshippers in the large prayer hall.

Architect Bob Apel says his marching orders were clear.

“They didn’t want to impose themselves on everybody else,” he said. “They wanted to be part of the community.”

About 2,000 people attend prayers weekly, including packed

services each Friday around midday.

It sits on the border between two well-off Columbus suburbs and was developed as part of an upscale subdivision whose homes are popular with Muslim professionals.

Educational posters line walls inside the mosque. “What do Muslims think about Jesus?” reads the title of one. “Who are American Muslims?” asks another.

The center hosts a variety of activities for Muslims who attend the mosque, including legal and health clinics, weekend Arabic classes for children, counseling services and parenting classes, among others. For non-Muslims it holds a weekly “Islam 101” class and tour each Saturday, bringing in members of local churches and synagogues.

“One of the keys to preventing bigotry and so on is when you have an opportunity to sit and learn with someone,” said Michael Ungar, a Columbus rabbi who has co-taught classes at the mosque with Muslim and Christian leaders.

The center is hardly the first mosque with a nontraditional design in the U.S. or abroad. The Is-

lamic Society of North America’s headquarters in Plainfield, Ind., is a modernist building nearly three decades old.

Last year, the Islamic Society of Greater Valley Forge opened a new $1.5 million mosque in suburban Philadelphia that, like the Noor Center, lacks minarets and brings to mind a community center, not a house of worship.

Other mosques have chosen a more traditional look. In 2005, the Islamic Center of New Mexico reopened with a traditional dome-and-minaret building after the previous structure, a simple, modern-looking facility, was torn down.

In Dearborn, Mich., in suburban Detroit, home to one of the biggest Arab-American populations in the country, tall minarets and gold domes dominate the Islamic Center of America.

Islamic studies expert Akbar Ahmed said the Noor Center put aside rich cultural traditions with the design, he said.

The result is a message that says, “‘Look, we are a distrusted community and we are vulnerable and we need to hide our identity,’” said Ahmed, chair of the Islamic Studies Department at American University.

S M O KS IEG N A L S New English teacher starts at PHS

BY MAKYLIE KILLIAN Staff Writer Many new teachers this year have arrived at Piqua High School, and among those is Angie Ford, who transferred from PJHS to teach English.

So far this school year Ford has enjoyed working with the students, and she has noticed that “High school students are willing to take a chance in front of the class, and as an educator that's all I can ask.”

One of her favorite classroom teaching techniques is discussion, which helps students interpret the current topic, and allows them to interact with the teacher as well as their peers. It also gives students a better understanding and may help them gain a new perspective.

Ford's English career was inspired by her sophomore English teacher, Mr. Bernot. “He taught me there’s not always one right answer,” and “discussion over literature can be fun,” Ford said.

She attended Bowling Green due to the community feeling that it offered, and there she received her bachelor of arts degree with a teaching certificate in integrated language arts. Later she attended the University of Dayton, and received her master of science degree in administration.

PIQUA HIGH SCHOOL

Piqua High newspaper takes off with “Ask the Chief”

BY ISAAC HALE Staff Writer The Piqua High School newspaper is on the move making sure that the paper, both its print and online components, are sharpened to ensure an informative and entertaining read for everyone.

“Ask the Chief,” a previously used column for Tomahawk Beatthe online paper found at www.tomahawkbeat.com, is being refined and re-released this year.

“Ask the Chief” is an advice column much like “Dear Abby” in the Piqua Daily Call. “Ask the Chief” will be available for students to ask any question they'd like to be anonymously answered via e-mail to askthechief@piqua.org, and it'll be posted with the next upcoming issue of the Tomahawk Beat online.

The questions will be answered by various students in the school newspaper. Each issue a different student will be assigned the “Ask the Chief” column and that student will answer that issue's submitted questions. The questions have no

criteria at all; any and all questions will be thoughtfully answered in a detailed manner.

The Piqua High School newspaper is led by adviser Debbie Allen and includes students Robby Bloom, Eric Craft, Hannah Goodwin, Isaac Hale, Melissa Hovey, Makylie Killian, Summer Littlejohn, and Sarah McCrea. All of the students rotate working on the Tomahawk Beat and Smoke Signals, the print version of the paper found in the Piqua Daily Call every Thursday, and researching numerous stories to ensure a varied and entertaining paper both online and in print.

Allen and the students submerge themselves in deep brainstorming sessions to come up with original, thought provoking, and fun articles to please readers. In addition to brainstorming, the paper takes teacher requests for articles to ensure that any information that needs attention is provided to students in an easy to digest format.

The 2011-2012 newspaper ros-

ter is smaller in size, but more cohesive and tight-knit because it allows for all students to write and write more often. This helps each student progress as a journalist and allows for a stronger paper for readers.

The online component, the Tomahawk Beat, is in its third year of production. Allen decided to make this change because an online paper provided for an easier to access and less expensive paper as well as using drastically less paper making it very environmentally friendly. Printing stand alone issues of the school newspaper was a difficult process and since the Tomahawk's Beat's introduction, the Internet has proved a fertile and inexpensive environment for the paper to inform students and grow in scope and content easier than its previous counterpart.

The first issue of the Tomahawk Beat is set to be released Oct. 7 and is shaping up to be a must-read including compelling articles ensuring an entertaining read for everyone.

Piqua High School Chinese teacher turns to technology

BY SUMMER LITTLEJOHN Staff Writer Last school year, Chinese teacher Bo Han, chose to leave her job here to be with her family because her husband got another job out of state.

Tony Lyons, the principal of Piqua High School, states that it was extremely hard to find a replacement for Han. “No one applied. Towards the end of August, we identified one person from Columbus, but he wasn't able to drive to Piqua every day,” he said.

On that note, they decided to use a program called Rosetta Stone.

Lyons went on to state his thoughts on Rosetta Stone: “I think one of the advantages Rosetta Stone has, is that it has a proven track record as a program; it's not something plucked out of thin air.” They also wanted to use Rosetta for the students who are about to leave for college, but still need to finish their last year of Chinese class for their credits. The disadvantage he stated was that it isn't person to person and there isn't a native speaker who can engage stu-

dents at a higher level, compared to a program.

Later on in the 2011 school year, they were finally able to establish contact with Han, who currently lives in Oregon, and was able to get her to teach the Chinese class students through something called Google Video. “The advantage of having Han on Google Video is that the class now has an instructor in the classroom.

It’s nice that the teacher and student can hear and see responses.” He goes on to say that personal communication is critical for classes.

Grunkemeyer

McDonald’s Student of the Week

BY HANNAH GOODWIN Staff Writer Sophomore Sarah Grunkemeyer is the McDonald's Student of the Week for the week of Sept.

23. Sarah is the daughter of Joe and Mary Grunkemeyer. She was nominated by Deb Retman, who is currently teaching science at Piqua High School.

“Sarah works very hard and she even wanted to know if I needed help,” Retman said. “She works well with other students and is a pleasure to have in class.”

Grunkemeyer is student class president and is on the soccer team. When she finishes high school, she wants to be a graphic designer. She plans on going to either Ohio University, Kentucky University, or Michigan University.

“This is our time”

Senior-Freshman Siblings: Logan Monnin (brother Lane Monnin absent), Alex and Margo Baker, Lindsey and Greg Spearman, Masie and Dylan Sherman, Meghan and Nick Earhart, Katie and Rocco Catanzarite, and Michael and Samantha Comer

It’s a family thing

BY MARIA YANNUCCI Many siblings have a hard enough time putting up with each other at home, let alone being together all day at school. This year, Lehman has a record breaking number of senior-freshman siblings. The family duos include Margo and Alex Baker, Samantha and Michael Comer, Meghan and Nick Earhart, Katie and Rocco Catanzarite, Masie and Dylan Sherman, Lindsey and Greg Spearman, and Logan and Lane Monnin.

When asked how he felt about having his younger sister join him at Lehman, senior Alex Baker responded, “It is fun to pick on Margo when I see her in the halls.” Senior Lindsey Spearman said about her brother, “I love seeing that little nugget’s face around school.”

Making the transition from being in the eighth grade to being in high school is often hard on many freshmen, these lucky few already knew Lehman quite well through their siblings. “ Freshman year has been fun because everyone already knows me through Lindsey,” Greg Spearman said.

Having these sets of siblings has created a bond between the two classes. “Dylan loves seeing me every day and always tries to be like me,” said senior Masie Sherman. “He secretly knows we are best friends.”

There is some obvious love and laughter between all these sets of siblings, and they seem to enjoy being together at Lehman.

BY AMY WATERCUTTER You have probably seen him around the halls of Lehman, either this year or last, but you may not know who he is. The man who always seems to have a smile on his face is Scott Greve, the director of development at Lehman.

Although he did not originally plan to apply for this job, after he visited Lehman’s open house to consider registering his son Alec for classes, he was approached by Lehman President Mike Barhorst about the position.

Greve felt that this was God’s calling for his life. As the Director of Development, Greve’s main job is to meet with donors to the school one-on-one and develop plans for their investment in Lehman. He also communicates with Alumni through the Lehman Link publication.

Along with his different duties, Greve came up with a theme for this year: “This is our time.” When asked why he chose this theme for the school year, Greve replied, “I spent some time praying about it, and it signifies that it really is our time. Whether we are benefactors, parents, students, or teachers, God created us for this time and it is important what we do with our lives in this school year.”

It was clear when interviewing Greve that he is very enthusiastic for Lehman and his job. “Lehman is the people, the community, and the tradition, but its more than that,” he said. “It is what the school stands for, and what we do on a day-to-day basis here at Lehman, which is evangelizing. It’s a blessing for me just to be able to walk through the door in the morning.”

Greve’s theme for this year should stand as a reminder for everyone involved at Lehman that this is our year, and we can make it great.

Tennis talk

BY LEXI FRONING It’s fall — meaning it is time for the tennis girls to begin tournament play. Sectionals are at Troy Community Park on Oct. 4. This year’s team has high goals, with 2010 district qualifiers Kandis Sargeant and Nicole Larger leading the way at first doubles. They are joined by Meghan Bennett at first singles, Julia Harrelson at second singles, MacKenzie Brown at 3rd singles, and Kerri Josefovsky and Victoria King at second doubles. “There is definitely going to be some good teams at sectionals, but I am confident Lehman is going to do well,” Harrelson said.

Harrelson has every right to be confident based on Lehman’s recent victory at the Carroll Invitational where they won the championship for the second straight year.

“I am privileged to be coaching such a wonderful team,” said Coach Pippy Booth. “They are not only great sportsmen, but also extremely charitable.”

The team feels the same way about Booth. Senior Bennett said, “The past three years have been really positive experiences. I am excited and looking forward to sectionals.”

The history guy

BY NICK BOSHONEK “History is a way to learn how past events affect the present and future.

This why I wanted to become a history teacher,” said Matthew Normile, one of several new teachers at Lehman this year.

Normile comes from a rich Catholic backround. Just like current Lehman students, he attended a Catholic high school. He graduated from DeMes Jesuit High School in St. Louis, Mo. in 2002. Normile graduated from Xavier University with a bachelor’s degree in history. Before coming to Lehman, Normile was a substitute teacher at Moeller High School in Cincinnati.

“The reason I came to Lehman was because I was raised Catholic, went to a Catholic high school, then graduated from a Catholic university. I really wanted to grow and learn in my Faith,” Normile said.

Normile teaches government, American history, and world geography, as well as moderating the Mock Trial team. When teaching these classes he hopes to gain “a mutual positive learning experience with the students.” Outside of teaching he enjoys swimming, which he did in both high school and college. Another joy is cheering on his alma mater, the Xavier Musketeers.

So far Normile is enjoying his teaching experience. “My favorite part about Lehman really is the enthusiasm of the students,” he said.

Senior DJ Hemm, a student in the Government class, said “I like his methods and original personalitity.”

Lehman is glad to add a great new teacher such as Matthew Normile to its staff.

Miami East employs part-time treasurer Cuts pending if levy fails

BY MELANIE YINGST Ohio Community Media myingst@tdnpublishing.com CASSTOWN — Miami East Local Schools’ search for a new district treasurer ended Monday.

The board hired Lisa Fahncke on a part-time three-year limited contract effective Oct. 1.

Fahncke, a certified public accountant for the last 24 years, said she has 19 years experience in government work for the state of Ohio, including work as a deputy auditor for Auglaize County.

Fahncke also said her experience includes being a school district treasurer for two years at Middletown City Schools and Riverside Local in Logan County for six years.

Fahncke said she was excited about the opportunity to work for the Miami East community.

“I’m so happy I can come to Miami East to help them in their time of need,” Fahncke said. “I’ve always been dedicated to public service and if I can benefit my fellow community members then I’ve done well and had a good day.”

After Fahncke’s approval, the board discussed the pending cuts for the district if its ballot issue is unsuccessful on Nov. 8.

Miami East Local School’s Superintendent Dr. Todd Rappold said the levy committee’s website and Facebook page is up and running to answer a variety of questions about the district’s levy.

The district is seeking a conversion of its current continuous 1 percent traditional income tax to a continuous collection of a 1.75 percent earned income tax

levy on the Nov. 8 ballot.

The website is www.votevikingpridenow.org.

According to the website, the 1.75 percent income tax, based on adjusted gross income, would cost an additional $300 per year or $25 per month based on a $40,000 income.

According to Ohio’s Secretary of State’s website, Oct. 10 is the deadline to register to vote in person for the Nov. 8 election.

Rappold said if the levy is not successful the district would once again make staff cuts to operate at the state minimum requirements in education.

“We would look at state minimums for the start of the 2012-2013 year,” Rappold said.

“We’ll probably have to eliminate up to 10 staff members,” Rappold said, listing off art, music and elective positions which would be cut from its budget.

The event will begin at One More Bar, 348 Wood St. Registration will be from 10:30 a.m. through noon. Registration is $15 per rider or $20 with passenger, and it includes a meal and entertainment.

The last bike in will be 5 p.m. The meal will be served at 6 p.m.

The run will include stops in Minster, Versailles, Russia and Troy before the final stop of the day at Piqua Sports Grill, 1254 E. Ash St., where a party and dinner will be held. The event also will feature a 50/50 drawing, door prizes and live auctions.

Rylee, the daughter of Jeff and Ashlee Gasson, was 22 months old when a dog attacked her and bit at her face June 22, 2010.

As a result the attack the toddler needed facial reconstruction surgery.

Rylee required extensive surgery after suffering 20

lacerations to her face, a broken upper jaw and a broken nose. The injuries required nearly 10 hours of surgery and involved more than 500 stitches.

She is now 3 years old and while she has successfully had reconstruction surgery, as she gets older more might be needed, Emrick.

Emrick said the important thing for the Getzendiner family to remember is hope.

“There is hope, there is always hope,” Emrick said, which is what helped him through Rylee’s injury.

“She (Getzendiner) will get better, but the recovery process will take awhile. But for sure, she will get better.”

All of the proceeds raised at the event will go to The Sandra Getzendiner Fund, which has been set up at Wright-Patt Credit Union for cash donations.

“We are at a crossroads,” Rappold said. Rappold said he had been working on a budget analysis to cut more than $1 million from the district’s operating costs.

“If we are not successful Nov. 8, it will be devastating to parents, students and the community as a whole,” he said.

Rappold also said if the levy is not passed Nov. 8, the district would adopt a pay-to-participate fee on top of the $110 transportation fee.

“If the board chose to keep all sports and extracurricular (activities), it will cost $500-$600 per ac-

tivity next year to self-fund (the costs to run the program),” Rappold said.

Rappold said the pay-toparticipate may begin as early as spring sports for students.

“It’s a challenge,” Rappold said. “You have to take in to account that you’re definitely going to lose students at the junior high and high school level that can’t simply afford to participate.”

Board member Gayle Carson said he’d prefer to implement a pay-toparticipate fee and not cut any activity.

“My personal preference would be that we have a

pay-to-participate fee,” Carson said. “We’d be selling the kids short if we didn’t give them the option to participate.”

Carson said athletics and extra curricular activities offer more experiences outside of the classroom.

According to Rappold, more than 60 percent of high school students participate in at least one extra curricular activity.

“We encourage out students to participate in something,” said board member Kevin Accurso.

“Pay-to-participate is a tough pill to swallow … we don’t have a choice really.”

Continued from page 1 events, which raised more than $7,000.

The event went so well last year that there was no need to have it again this year, Emrick said.

But, he added, things quickly changed when he heard about the dog mauling of Sandra Getzendiner, 59, of Piqua, on Sept. 11 as she rode her bike across the North Main Street Bridge.

“I just knew I had to do something for this woman to help her with medical expenses,” Emrick said.

That’s why Emrick is not only having the Second Annual Rylee’s Ride to Recovery poker run on Saturday, Oct. 22, but he’s also donating every single penny raised to Getzendiner, who was released from the hospital last week following an 11day stay and extensive surgeries.

HOROSCOPE Thursday, Sept. 29, 2011 In coming months, you’re apt to make a very valuable and unique friendship. This person, who is introduced to you through a mutual friend, will open doors for you and take you to places you can only imagine.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Because you won’t dilly-dally over your opportunities, you could find yourself involved in several enterprises at the same time. You’ll make them all live up to your expectations.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — The right opening might present itself to put the finishing touches on a matter that has given you and everybody else fits. Be prepared to exploit it like the dickens.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) There is likely to be a good reason for having someone continually in your thoughts at this time. Why not get in touch with this person, and see where it leads?

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — The biggest stimulus you could get is the visualization of the material rewards you could derive from acting on one of several options. Define your purpose and go after it.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Experience is generally one of our best teachers, and that’s especially true at this time. You’ll profit from a past mistake and eke out a victory where you once met bitter defeat.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — The two trump cards you’re holding — your excellent imagination and your great resourcefulness, will give you an edge over the competition. Use them to the fullest.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) — In order to get the most out of the day, you need to spend some quality time with associates who want the same things you want. By doing so, you can assemble a better brain trust.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — There could be some unique career opportunities offered to you at this time that would be to your liking. Even if others don’t see what you see in these possibilities, follow your instincts.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — You’ll easily discern the difference between what is a well-calculated risk and what is merely a wild gamble. Follow your own nose and ignore those who can’t see what you see.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) — If you spot an unexpected shift in circumstances forming, you should consider what the ramifications might mean and act accordingly. It could put you one step ahead of the pack.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — One of your talents is the ability to improve upon good ideas offered by others. Don’t hesitate to use it whenever and with whatever is being put in the pipeline.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Be on continuous alert to expand upon whatever opportunities come your way, especially if they are financial in nature. You can make it big if you act promptly.

105 Announcements

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.

If you have questions regarding scams like these or others, please contact the Ohio Attorney General’s office at (800)282-0515.

Plenty of ‘O’ on both teams Piqua travels to Trotwood to open GWOC North play

BY ROB KISER Sports Editor rkiser@dailycall.com It will be a matchup of two explosive offenses Friday night when Piqua visits TrotwoodMadison.

The Indians come into the opening week of GWOC North play with a 3-2 record, while Trotwood is 5-0.

“Most of the players they return are on offense,” Piqua football coach Bill Nees said. “They have put up big numbers against a pretty tough schedule. They had four or five offensive lineman back, their fullback is back and they have a receiver back.”

Not to mention starting quarterback Michael Simpson, who started the last two seasons for C-J, before transferring to Trotwood this fall.

Simpson has completed 70 of 132 passes for 887 yards, while Israel Green leads the rushing attack, picked up 694 yards on 73 carries, while Ashton Jackson has 501 yards on 36 carries.

“They will operate predominantly out of an I formation,” Nees said. “But, they will also go a good bit to a spread formation with 2x2 and 1x3 sets.”

■ Volleyball

Defensively, the Rams will play an even front defense that is similar to the Indians.

“They will use three or four linebackers, depending on the game plan,” Nees said. “They have three players back on defense, so most of their players are back on offense.”

Trotwood isn’t the only highpowered offense in the game.

Piqua rushed for over 500 yards in the win over Fairmont last Friday, with Jon Dembski, Ryan Hughes, Taylor Wellbaum and Travis Nees all rushing for more than 100 yards.

Hughes and Nees have made if a four-pronged rushing attack the last two weeks.

“I think they have (gotten more involved in the offense),” Nees said. “But, as you get farther into the season, you get deeper into your offense.”

Jon Dembski leads the rushing attack with 709 yards on 87 carries and 10 touchdowns.

Wellbaum and Nees have each found the end zone five times.

Wellbaum has 380 yards rushing on 63 carries and has passed for 387 yards, completing 32 of 72 passes.

Miami East was fired up for the match.

“The girls did an excellent job of executing our game plan,” Miami East coach John Cash said. “We kept the long plays alive and if you’re going to do that, you will win games.

Nees is the Indian leading receiver, with 10 receptions for 109 yards.

“Trotwood is ranked in the top three in the GWOC, but then, so are we,” Nees said. “I would expect us to put some points on the board.

“When you get into these explosive type games, it always comes down to big plays and turnovers.”

Which doesn’t mean it will turn into a shootout, like the Lebanon game two weeks ago, where the Indians lost 40-33.

“Everybody thought that was the kind of game

it was going to be last year and it ended up being a low-scoring game,” Nees said.

Piqua was leading that game at halftime, before a turnover and a run of more than 90 yards by Trotwood turned the game around.

“We still ended up getting back within 18-13,” Nees said. “I think we have done a good job this year of not turning the ball over and we have to continue to do that.”

Big day for Bucc golfers Soccer

Continued from page 15

Boys win sectional, girls advance to district GREENVILLE — It was a banner day for the Covington golf teams Wednesday in sectional play, withe both teams advancing to district in sectional play.

The Covington boys made history, winning the boys program’s first-ever sectional golf title in Division III play at Greenville Golf Course.

“I wasn’t expecting this at all,” Covington coach Bill Wise said. “A lot of these teams had beaten us during the year. We had to beat all the teams that had beaten us at the league meet.”

Covington shot 352 to beat Franklin Monroe by two strokes.

“I was surprised by how high the scores were,” Wise said. “This was our first time in this sectional.

We have been in the sectional at Beechwood (Golf Course, which was played Tuesday). I guess we are fortunate in a way, because 352 wouldn’t have

gotten out of that sectional.”

Covington did it with consistent play.

Christian Carder led the Buccs with 85.

Samuel Slusher carded an 88, Joseph Slusher shot 89, D.J. Seger added a 90 and Wes Root had a 94.

“These guys have been pretty consistent all year,” Wise said. “It always helps when you have four scores close together like that. A lot of times had one guy that was low, but they weren’t as consistent. We have a bunch of bogey golfers and they have been consistent all year.”

Covington will play in the district tournament at Weatherwax Golf Course in West Middletown next Thursday.

Lady Buccs third WEBSTER — The Covington girls golf team continued their tradition of advancing to district every other year, nearly pulling off a second-place finish at

the Division II sectional at Stillwater Valley Golf Course.

National Trail won with a 376 total, while Covington and Fort Loramie both shot 404, with the Redskins winning the fifthgirl tiebreaker.

“It started with Ashley Johnson’s senior year,” Covington coach Ron Schultz said. “We have been going as a team every other year. I am really pleased with the way the girls played today.”

Not only were the tees moved back, the Lady Buccs had to deal with the elements Mother Nature threw at them, leading to a long day on the golf course.

“We shot 398 here from the women’s tees in good weather,” Schultz said.

“So, I thought the girls did great today. They held it together pretty well and didn’t have a lot of big numbers. Our scores were just so consistent.”

Allison Ingle led Cov-

ington with 98, while Jamie Crowell had a 99.

Connor Schaffer shot 103, Cassie Ingle had 104 and Katie Blair added a 127.

“I was a little disappointed with Cassie’s score,” Schultz said. “But, she got herself in some tough spots out there.”

Covington charged towards the front on the second nine, after starting on the tougher back nine.

“We went past a number of teams,” Schultz said. “Some of the teams shot good scores on the front nine, but really struggled on the back nine, which was tougher.”

Also advancing as individuals were Brooke Wehrkamp from Versailles, who shot 103 and Russia’s Tori Borchers, who had 104.

Borchers is the first Russia golfer to qualify for district.

The district will be played Tuesday at Pipestone Golf Course.

Piqua had to wait because of a lightning delay during the JV game and handled the adverse weather conditions to defeat Vandalia 2-1 Wednesday at Wertz Stadium.

Piqua is not 7-3-1 overall and 2-0 in the GWOC North.

“We had never beaten Vandalia since I have been here,” Horvath said.

“So, this was a big win for us.”

Cheryl Bell started the scoring with an unassisted goal and Dianna Burt scored off a Hannah Strevell assist to give Piqua a 2-0 lead midway through the first half.

Butler got a goal with 18 minutes to go in the game, but that is as close as they would get.

“Of course, are girls were panicking a little bit because they wanted the win,” Horvath said. “Butler had a few corner kicks after that, but nothing too dangerous.”

Piqua also had some scoring chances in the sec-

ond half.

“There were a couple of where opportunities Cheryl (Bell) got fouled an I thought she could have scored,” Horvath said.

“And there were a couple of other opportunities, but that is OK.” Kelsey Deal had seven saves in goal for the Lady Indians. (possession) was “It about 50-50,” Horvath said. “We controlled the ball most of the first half and Vandalia did most of the second half.”

Piqua will host Miami East Saturday, with the JV game at noon, followed by the varsity at 2 p.m.

Lehman gets win The Lehman girls soccer team beat Bethel 8-0 on Monday.

Madeline Franklin and Elizabeth Edwards had three goals each, while Katie Catanzarite and Jordi Emrick both had goals.

Sarah Titterington had two assists for Lehman, 62-2.

Heartland of Piqua Gives Back September 8, 2011 might have been a rainy day, but that didn’t dampen the spirits of our local fire and police departments. Heartland of Piqua hosted their annual 9-11 Cookout on that day for our first responders. ‘The usual festivities of the cookout continued’ states Molly Grise, Admissions Director, ‘but the high point of the event was when one of our residents presented the Piqua Fire Department with an American Flag afghan she made’.

Lorena Arnett approached the fire engine with a big smile on her face, so eager to give back what had taken her months to prepare specifically for this event.

Arnett set the theme for the rest of the cookout, which included a grill giveaway to a worthy department, sponsored by the Home Depot. Miami Valley Hospitals Care Flight was also in attendance. The residents of Heartland joined our heroes in taking tours of their Mobile Intensive Care Unit.

Heartland of Piqua specializes in post-hospital rehabilitation stays. Our caring team is dedicated to getting you back on your feet and back to your life! To set up a tour of our state-of-the-art therapy gymnasium, call Molly at 773-9346.

Four Turns START IS NO GUARANTEE Tony 1 HOT Stewart’s consecutive wins to start the

1. Tony Stewart

Chase mark the second time a driver has come out of the gate fast in the playoffs. In 2008, Greg Biffle won in Loudon and at Dover to begin the Chase. He then posted a third at Kansas in the third race. However, Jimmie Johnson and Carl Edwards combined to win the last five races of the season and finished first and second in the Chase, while Biffle was a distant third.

UNDERDOG NO MORE Brad Keselowski is not being overlooked by any Chase team. With his runner-up finish in New Hampshire, the 27-yearold in his second full Cup season now has nine consecutive runs of 12th or better. He’s averaged a 4.5-place finish in that span and sits third in the standings, only 11 points behind the leader, Stewart.

SOLID SHOWINGS It has been three years since a Roush Fenway Ford has visited Victory Lane in New Hampshire, and while Jack Roush’s quartet failed to do so again last Sunday, they each came to play. All four finished in the top 10 — a feat not accomplished since Roush went to a four-car operation in 1998.

TEACH ’EM A LESSON Kurt Busch’s Penske Racing Dodge failed post-race inspection at New Hampshire and was held off the grid until 10 minutes before the command to start engines when its rear-end housing was found to be 1/32” off. Message delivered, team owner Roger Penske said. “The problem was we had been (late) the last two or three weeks getting through tech. Then if we had a little bit of a problem, we had to go back through again and (NASCAR) said, ‘We’ve had enough of you going back through for just little things.’” No further penalties are forthcoming.

Tracks on Tap SPRINT CUP SERIES Race: AAA 400 Track: Dover International Speedway Location: Dover, Del. When: Sunday, Oct. 2 TV: ESPN (2:00 p.m. EST) Layout: 1-mile oval Banking/Turns: 24 degrees Banking/Straightaways: 9 degrees May Winner: Matt Kenseth Crew Chief’s Take: “Dover is an all-concrete track and is banked all the way around; even the straights have nine degrees of banking. Therefore, right-side tire management is a race-long concern. Dover provides drivers with multiple grooves from which to choose, but normally, the best cars are the ones that will run the low line around the track. The transitions from turns to straights are unique.

Drivers call it ‘falling down’ in the turns. Concrete has its pluses and minuses, but it made this track a lot better.”

Clint Bowyer Greg Biffle AJ Allmendinger Mark Martin David Ragan (1) Martin Truex Jr. Juan Pablo Montoya Kasey Kahne

Most had written off Tony Stewart as a legitimate 2011 championship contender — including himself, if you believed his words in the midst of a 27th-, ninth- and 28th-place string just six weeks ago. After all, his No. 14 team was winless through NASCAR’s 26race regular season, averaging a pedestrian 14.2-place finish with only three top 5s.

Then the Chase for the Championship hit and, inexplicably, Stewart and his team have come alive.

Stewart won his second straight race — the second of the Chase — in the Sylvania 300 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway on Sunday, and in the process, assumed the points lead.

Stewart passed Clint Bowyer as Bowyer’s fuel cell ran dry with two laps remaining, reversing last season’s New Hampshire Chase outcome that saw Bowyer capitalize on Stewart’s empty gas tank.

“It’s amazing that it’s happened like that,” Stewart said. “But Clint was one of the first guys that called last year and, as happy as he was that he won the race, he knew how disappointing it was for us.

“You don’t want to win them that way (on fuel mileage) and you don’t want to see guys lose them that way.

This is a sport that guys have a high level of respect for what happens and how it happens. To have a win get away from you that way, it’s disappointing for anybody.

“We may not have been the best car at the end — Clint was just a tick better than us. I definitely did not know he was in a situation to worry about fuel. So the good thing

TONY STEWART Who else? He’s charged out of the gate with consecutive victories to open the Chase. The key will now be maintaining a top-5 pace.

NEW HAMPSHIRE MOTOR SPEEDWAY If NHMS were to raise its 12 degrees of banking to 20 degrees, just imagine the closed-quarter racing it would stage on its tight, one-mile layout. Until then, races here will be largely single-file parades.

Tony Stewart speeds to his second win in the Chase in the Sylvania 300 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway.

is Darian told us we were two, three laps to the good. I got to run hard all the way to the end.”

To be fair, Stewart’s car was good enough to win the race, and having the mileage to get there was just icing on the cake. He finished second at New Hampshire in July to his Stewart-Haas Racing teammate, Ryan Newman, in a fuel-mileage duel, and won last week at Chicagoland under the same circumstances.

However, the one car that may have been better than his was Jeff Gordon’s No. 24. Gordon led a racehigh 78 laps, but ran out of gas coming to pit road under green-flag pit stops with 70 laps remaining. It took the team valuable seconds to get the machine refired, and even then, they did not get the car full of fuel.

That forced Gordon into conservation mode. He backed off down the stretch to avoid running out of gas and settled for a fourth-place finish. Brad Keselowski and Greg Biffle were second and third.

“It’s a bit of a surprise we ran out under green,” Gordon said. “We were expecting to get a couple more laps.

“We’re making great horsepower, but we’re not getting good fuel mileage. But Tony is figuring out a

Tony Stewart’s New Hampshire win was the 41st of his NASCAR Cup career, placing him in sole possession of 16th on the all-time wins list.

He sits three victories shy of Bill Elliott in 15th.

The win also vaulted him to the top of the Chase standings, which marks the first time the Columbus, Ind., native has led the playoff standings since his title year in 2005. However, no driver leading the standings after the second race of the Chase has gone on to win the championship.

NASCAR will implement two rule changes for next month’s running of the Good Sam Club 500 Sprint Cup Series race at Talladega Superspeedway. The size of the restrictor plate that teams will use to prepare and practice for the race will increase by 1/64”. This will provide the teams with an additional seven to 10 horsepower. Additionally, the pressure relief valve on the cars’ cooling system will be recalibrated to reduce the pressure by approximately eight pounds per square inch from last April’s Cup

way to do it, so give those guys credit — those guys have the same engines we have and we have to do a better job at it. I have to do a better job at it.”

Defending five-time champion Jimmie Johnson got into a fender war with Kyle Busch with 21 laps remaining. Although neither wrecked, something in Johnson’s steering system was bent, and he finished 18th.

“Today we just didn’t have the speed,” Johnson, who is 29 points behind Stewart, said. “And track position was so important and we didn’t have some pit calls go our way.”

Johnson’s main competition last season, Denny Hamlin, had his second straight frustrating race. His No. 11 Toyota ran out of gas with three laps to go, despite the fact his crew chief, Mike Ford, assured him they could make it the distance. He finished 29th and, after a 31st-place showing last week, is 66 points out of the Chase lead and all but eliminated.

As for the points leader, though, his faith is renewed. “These guys have never quit,” Stewart said.

“These guys have never given up and we got a shot at this thing.”

race at Talladega. Also, teams will not be allowed to grease the bumpers of their cars at the 2.66mile tri-oval. Recently, teams had used all number of lubricants on the bumpers of the cars so that when two cars “bump drafted,” the bumpers would slide off each other, avoiding a spin.

These measures appear to be the first steps by the sanctioning body to discourage the two-car “tandem” drafts witnessed in recent plate-race events, and returning to the traditional “pack drafts” at Daytona and Talladega. !

If Michael Waltrip Racing signs Clint Bowyer for the 2012 season — which is expected — look for the operation to stay at three teams. Currently, JTG-Daugherty Racing houses its cars out of the MWR shop, in essence making it MWR’s third team. However, JTG-Daugherty’s No. 47 car, driven by Bobby Labonte, may well end its relationship with MWR at season’s end. It is expected to look to align itself with another team for 2012.

Classic Moments Dover International Speedway Proving his shocking win in the Daytona 500 earlier in the season was no fluke, Derrike Cope leads 93 laps and wins the 1990 Budweiser 500 in Dover.

Cope shoots to the lead by lap 160, but a miscalculation by his crew chief causes his No. 10 Purolator Chevy to run out of gas while pacing the field, dropping him off the lead lap.

Cope has a strong car, though, and races his way back onto the lead lap (without the aid of Lucky Dogs or wave-arounds). A fast pit stop under a lap 421 caution bumps him up to second, and on lap 446, he passes Rusty Wallace, who leads 131 laps in the Miller Genuine Draft Pontiac, for the lead. From there, Cope holds off Ken Schrader to earn his second, and final, career victory.

Athlon Fantasy Stall Looking at Checkers: It’s hard to overlook Jimmie Johnson’s six wins at Dover.

Pretty Solid Pick: Mark Martin has made no secret of his love of Dover. His four wins are proof of it.

Good Sleeper Pick: Guys turn it up a notch when racing at their home track, and this is Martin Truex’s turf.

Runs on Seven Cylinders: Juan Pablo Montoya has led only five of the 3,415 laps he’s completed at Dover.

Insider Tip: Trouble happens quick here.

Having a good qualifier who stays up front is a bonus.

2. Jeff Gordon

Difficult to place him anywhere else. Smoke has two consecutive wins and an average finish of fourth over the last four weeks. Peaking at the right time.

Probably had the best car in New Hampshire, but the fuel calculations were off. That most likely cost him six valuable championship points, which could come back to bite.

Yes, he’s in a hole, but do you dare kick dirt on his grave yet? Johnson, Knaus and the boys are at their best when fighting for points at playoff time.

In case you needed any further convincing, Keselowski and the No. 2 team are for real. And they’re a dangerous third in the point standings.

Edwards is riding a five race top-10 streak and sits fourth in the standings. This team has been able to post numerous wins in short order in the past. Can they do it again this year?

Will Harvick fall back into the seventh- to 14th-place swoon of mid-summer? Not likely, but worth keeping in mind as the Chase heats up.

Passed more cars than any driver on the track after rebounding from a spin in New Hampshire. Had to be a tough pill to swallow that the spin came courtesy of his teammate, Edwards.

Still dangerous, but looking mortal following 22nd- and 11th-place showings to start the Chase. Is a “Come to Coach Gibbs” meeting in order?

Led the first 62 laps after sitting on the pole in Loudon, but a flat tire with five laps to go was a killer.

This team still has the potential to rebound, but how far is unclear.

Another victim of tire issues, Junior blew one out while running sixth with 71 laps remaining. Even when this bunch runs well, they can’t seem to catch a break.

Busch’s day in Loudon started bad and stayed that way.

A near-win with Harvick’s cast-away’d pit crew had to feel like a moral victory.

Led 46 laps after gaining track position, but faded to 24th in a frustrating ending.

Three laps to go. Running sixth. Out of fuel. Such is the No. 11 team’s season.

Has quietly pieced together three consecutive runs of 11th or better.
