Chemicals above guidelines; latest test results OK

BY BETHANY J. ROYER Staff Writer broyer@dailycall.com PIQUA — Many residents were left with concerns and questions after receiving a notice last week in regards to TTHM (Total Trihalomethanes) levels in the city’s second quarter drinking water being above federal guideline.

“Any time you have a problem with your drinking water; that’s not something that you take lightly,” said water plant superintendent Don Freisthler on the violation.

Second quarterly testing found the TTHM level in Piqua’s drinking water at 7 thousandths’ of a part per million (ppm) above the limit of .08 ppm or mg/l under EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) guidelines.

TTHM consists of four chemicals (chloroform, bromodichloromethane, dibromochloromethane and bromoform) that are

created when chlorine reacts with naturally occurring organic or inorganic matter in water.

Third quarter water samples have already been received and shows the TTHM levels within compliance, as were the first quarter samples.

“This is not something that would affect you,” Freisthler said in regards to health concerns of TTHM in the water and that it would take many years of drinking such a contaminant in excess for there to be a risk.

Those health risks, as stated in the drinking water notice sent to local residents, could result in problems with the liver, kidneys, central nervous system and a potential for an increase in cancer.

Individuals with a severely compromised immune system may want to consult a doctor.

Freisthler said that the language in the notice can be alarming and, as written in a press release received Thursday, is a requirement by the EPA that must be verbatim.

The city water superintendent went on to say that, “We do everything we can to make that water the best.”

Career day speaker Jamie Kiefer, President and CEO of Portrait Creation, speaks to Piqua High School students on Thursday during career day at the school. Area business professionals, college representatives and members of the Armed Forces gave students an opportunity to hear about many facets of posthigh school life and careers.

CITY

Foes put Ohio election law on hold COLUMBUS (AP) — Ohio’s new election law that shortens the swing state’s early voting period was placed on temporary hold Thursday after opponents submitted more than 300,000 signatures in their effort to get a repeal question on 2012 ballots.

At least for now, local election officials will have to operate under the old law. That means early voting for the Nov. 8 election will start on Tuesday.

Elections officials must

next Friday for their rivalry game versus the Trojans in Troy Memorial Stadium.

The blood drive is held at US Bank branches each year in both communities the week before the game.

Troy had its blood drive last week, and those looking to donate blood at the Piqua US Bank, 200 N. College St., are invited to do so between noon and 6 p.m. Monday.

Last year, Piqua won the blood drive and this year the winning community will be announced before kickoff at the Oct. 7 Piqua-Troy game.

Organizers of the blood

Fisher’s business involves Community Supported Agriculture.

Members purchase shares for the growing season, which entitles them to weekly supplies of produce from Fisher’s farm. She has customers in this area and also makes weekly deliveries to members in Dayton, for a total of 15 participants this year.

Sharon Sachs, co-owner with Janie Marr Werum of Women Farm, based in the Columbus area, said Fisher was selected as the mentor for the ninecounty central southwest region because of her wealth of experience in farming.

Sachs said Fisher and the mentors for two other regional programs being launched this year, have the farming knowledge and business background to assist other women to achieve success.

The reason Women Farm is launching the new program, Sachs said, is to serve a need for hands-on instruction and a way to provide knowledge women need in their farming operations. Sachs said the program is an outgrowth of seven years of conversations with women farmers about what they need to be more successful.

came from paid circulators, while the rest were gathered by volunteers, organizers said.

Opponents contend the elections overhaul will lead to longer lines and make it difficult for working people to cast a ballot.

Brian Rothenberg of ProgressOhio, a member of Fair Elections Ohio, called Thursday’s signature submission “a victory that will make it easier, more accessible and simpler for people to vote.”

drive, like Mark Pompilio, a CBC spokesperson, said the challenge is not just about community pride, but also saving lives.

This marks the 14th year the blood drive has been going and US Bank has served as both host and sponsor during that time. Once the results of the blood drive are released, the bank will be making a $1,000 donation for educational materials and equipment for the winning school.

“US Bank is proud to assist these two awesome communities in this year’s competition,” said Pete Bardonaro, a US Bank district manager. “The great school and community

spirit within these two cities fuels this outstanding event annually. There are only winners that stem from this competition, especially the many individuals whose wellbeing will be impacted from this generous gift.”

And, everyone who registers will receive a CBC “This is my Halloween costume — I’m a blood donor” T-shirt.

The blood drive isn’t the only football-fueled event this week as area Goodwill stores in both communities will be battling against each other for donations for the nonprofit.

“A lot of women farmers are isolated,” Sach said.

“Some women say ‘I don’t even know any other women farmers.’”

By having the monthly regional informational presentations, which in this area will be on Fisher’s Snodgrass Road farm just northeast of Piqua, participants will be able to increase their knowledge of new developments and network with other women farmers.

While farming is often still considered a man’s vocation, the number of women in agriculture is growing. Women Farm statistics show there were 427 women farm operators in Miami County in 2007, up from 398 five years earlier. In addition, 112 of the women in farming in Miami County are the principal operators of the businesses. According to 2007 figures, women farm nearly 10,000 acres of land in Miami County.

Fisher said she is looking forward to her new venture, which in the first year will involve assisting Marr Werum teach the various classes.

“I’m always excited to share with other women who aspire to be farmers,” said Fisher, who has a 40acre farm with about two acres of gardens. “Sixteen years ago, if I would have

had a program like this I would have been overjoyed,” she said, explaining she had to travel to Washington state to gain a degree in ecological agriculture.

She grew up in the city, but after graduating from college, Fisher decided she wanted to venture out into the country to try her hand at farming. “I went to my parents and said ‘I want to do this farming thing,’” she recalled. “My parents said, ‘OK, we’ll have someone plow up a soybean field,’” Fisher said.

After growing produce to sell at farm markets, Fisher launched a Community Supported Agriculture business, providing share holders with produce ranging from lettuce, peas, onions, potatoes, cucumbers, popcorn, beans, herbs and a host of other crops.

More people are becoming interested in locally grown food, Fisher said.

“People want local food, not food that has been sitting on a truck,” she said.

Fisher said some of the shareholders provide some labor on the farm.

“They really enjoy getting out and digging potatoes or whatever we have at the time,” she said.

Fisher’s husband Ted, who is a science teacher at Wayne High School (new

In Week 6 of the Victory Drive, Goodwill trailers will be at Piqua and Troy high schools to accept donations between Oct. 3-7.

Donation trailers will be at each high school that week and at noon on Oct. 7, each one will be weighed.

The school who has the most donations will be declared the winner.

nals and crime-related matters. OHLEG was introduced in 2003 and provides personal details on individuals.

OHLEG provides information such as the name, address, Social Security number, physical description, age, a photo, driver’s license information, criminal record, a list of all vehicles registered to the individual in his or her lifetime, prison records, FBI numbers, sex offender status and other information.

Information can be checked on OHLEG by using an individual’s address and can also provide detailed information about the individual’s neighbors.

Because OHLEG is user specific and requires a password, searches by law enforcement officials are recorded and that information can be obtained through an audit. Those conducting the audit are able to determine whether

OHLEG was accessed from a private computer IP address or a work-related computer to help determine possible misuse of the system.

Nasal said Thursday, “The essence of the allegations is the system was accessed for other than official purposes, i.e. (for) personal purposes.”

“Two of the victims were law enforcement personnel,” Nasal said. “At present, I’m not releasing the identities of the victims.”

Nasal said he expects this case will eventually go to trial.

Kimpel was served with the indictments at the Shelby County Sheriff’s Office on Thursday afternoon.

He was issued a summons to appear in Shelby County Common Pleas Court at 10 a.m. Wednesday for arraignment.

Sheriff ’s Capt. Michael Eilerman served Kimpel with the indictments, according to

court documents.

On Sept. 20 Kimpel was indicted by an Auglaize County grand jury in Wapakoneta on one charge of sexual battery, a third-degree felony. The charge resulted from an investigation by the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation and Identification (BCI & I) and Nasal’s office.

Former Sheriff’s Deputy Jodi Van Fossen claimed that on July 24, 2010, Kimpel sexually assaulted her at her home in Auglaize County.

Following the indictment, Kimpel was taken to the Auglaize County Jail in Wapakoneta and later released on 10 percent of a $100,000 bond. He continues to function as sheriff but cannot carry a gun.

The charge is punishable by up to five years in prison and/or a $10,000 fine. If convicted, Kimpel would be required to register as a sex offender.

CASSTOWN — Robert J. Schimp, 87, of Casstown, passed away at 10:07 a.m.

Wednesday, Sept. 28, 2011, at Upper Valley Medical Center, Troy.

He was born Jan. 8, 1924, in Piqua. He was married to Beverlee Ann (Seabold ) Schimp on June 13, 1953, and she passed away on Jan. 21, 2006.

Survivors include one daughter and son-in-law, Sheryl Ann and James Lewis of Casstown; several grandchildren, great grandchildren, and several nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his parents; two sons, Glenn Michael Schimp and Robert Jay Schimp; grandson, John Wayne “Duke” Lewis; three sisters Lucille Hemmert, Catherine Scheer, and Ruby Martzall.

Robert was a graduate of the Fairmont High School of Dayton. He was an Army Air Force veteran of World War II, was member of American Legion

Post 43, Troy and AARP. His hobbies were collecting baseball cards, playing golf, culinary arts and was a member of the former Troy Bruins Hockey Team as a goalie.

He retired in 2002, from automobile sales at Troy Ford, the Voss Auto Network, of Dayton and Paul Sherry of Piqua after 58 years of service.

A funeral service will be held 11 a.m. Monday, at Fisher-Cheney Funeral Home, Troy, with Pastor Dale Christian officiating.

Visitation will be one hour prior to service (10-11 a.m.) the day of the service. Interment will be at Riverside Cemetery, Troy.

There will be a military service at the graveside by the Veterans Memorial Honor Guard of Troy.

Condolences may be expressed to the family at www.fisher-cheneyfuenralhome.com.

STAFF REPORTS CLARK COUNTY — The New Carlisle man who owned a dog shelter in the city before authorities closed it down earlier this year citing sanitation, health and cruelty issues was sentenced Thursday in a similar, but different, case.

In a Clark County courtroom, Jeff Burgess, 57, the former owner of One More Chance Rescue and Adoption on Clark Avenue in Piqua, was sen-

tenced on cruelty charges and was given five years of probation.

In addition, a judge told him he is prohibited from owning a dog for the next year.

Burgess’s charges stem from housing as many as 400 dogs at a Clark County kennel he owned, and his shelter in Piqua had more than 100.

Burgess has yet to be sentenced on the charges he faces in Miami County, but is expected to be later this year.

Sue’s head popped up from the tulip bed. “Because we’re not cavemen,” she snapped. “We’re human. At least I am. Besides, we do not live in filth, except for your office and bathroom. Bye, Joe.” “Ever thought of wearing a bell around your neck?” I asked. “You shouldn’t sneak up on me like that. It’s scary.

Besides, I’m right. All we do is clean for two days before guests come by.”

“And why is that? Because you leave a debris trail every time you walk through the house. You walk through the kitchen with your muddy shoes, your dust cloud settles on everything, your laundry turns to compost before I can pick it up and put it in the hamper. I shouldn’t wash your clothes, I should spread them on the garden.

Sometimes I want to call FEMA and see if they can do anything about the havoc you leave in your path. And ‘we’ don’t clean for two days. I do it all.”

JIM MULLEN “You know the noise from the vacuum cleaner Columnist scares me.”

“You’re worse than a cat. You shed, too. If you’d help, I wouldn’t have to clean for two days; I could probably do it in one. Does the sound of a mop scare you, too? If you helped out around here, I could sit around all day watching ‘Pawn Stars,’ the way you do.”

“I don’t just sit around watching TV. I golf, too.”

“Funny you should mention that. You know what we could do with the money you waste on golf?”

“Go to a casino and play the nickel slots?”

“No, we could hire a cleaning person.” Oh, that again.

“We had a cleaning person once, remember, and it didn’t work out.”

“He worked out fine. You didn’t work out.”

“He answered our phone, ‘Mrs. Everett, speaking. May I help you?’”

“People thought it was funny.”

“He didn’t clean; he redecorated. I’d come home and find a table where a chair used to be, a vase where a lamp used to be, a painting where a mirror used to be.”

“He had excellent taste. I loved what he did with the dining room.”

“He hung new wallpaper.”

“The old stuff was so dowdy.”

“You’re missing my point.”

“It’s easy to do. What is your point?”

“All we wanted was someone to clean and dust. Maybe do a few loads of compost. And you forget the neighbors would call up and complain about his loud disco music.

You could hear it three blocks away. Remember when the cops came by to see if we were running a nightclub without a license? Besides, he quit.”

“Of course he quit. He moved on to people who appreciated his talents. They were wasted on you. What we need is some personal responsibility here. You make the mess, you should clean it up. Or hire someone to do it for you.”

This whole conversation was turning out badly for me.

If I had never let Joe in the house, none of this would have come up.

“I am not the problem,” I said, trying to reason with her. “It’s visitors. If we just never invited anyone to our house, we could live in peace and quiet.”

“I’ll tell you what,” Sue said. “If you don’t start picking up a mop and a broom real fast, you’re going to get the chance to live in your own filth in total peace. Alone.”

Advice

Hollywood’s new age of realistically raunchy, female-driven romantic comedies takes a step backward with “What’s Your Number?”, a dollop of forgettable fluff that’s as dull and predictable as they come.

If Kristen Wiig’s “Bridesmaids” was a 10 and Cameron Diaz’s “Bad Teacher” was a 6, then “What’s Your Number?” rates a 2 or 3, straining through a similar R-rated sensibility but delivering the usual vanilla of most PG-13 romances.

As she usually does, Anna Faris comes through with a spirit and quirkiness far more engaging than the material merits, creating a character you’d like to embrace if only she wasn’t forced to behave so stupidly and shallowly. But it’s difficult to get caught up in what essentially is a onenote, feature-length gag about a woman’s sudden fixation that she’s slept around too much and that one of those former partners must have been her perfect mate.

Particularly when the filmmakers had the misfortune of starting their story with Faris stealthily preening so she’ll look like a cover girl for her current partner when he wakes beside her. It might have looked like an original moment from director Mark Mylod, a veteran of British TV as well as HBO’s “Entourage,” and screenwriters Gabrielle Allan and Jennifer Crittenden, if it weren’t a bad echo of an identical — and much more clever and genuine — sequence in “Bridesmaids.”

1. Three clubs. Partner has shown a powerful hand, since he doubled first and then bid his suit, indicating that his hand was too strong for an overcall at his first turn. Typically, partner should have 17 or more points and a fairly strong suit for this sequence.

Partner is, of course, unaware that you have seven points in high cards rather than the two or three (or even zero) you might have had for your one-spade response, and

a Lady,” ”What’s Your Number?” has Faris’ Ally Darling in similar straits as Wiig in “Bridesmaids” — newly fired and fumbling romantically while everyone else seems to cruise effortlessly into love and marriage.

Ally freaks after reading an article stating that most women average 10.5 sexual partners in their lives and that those who sleep with 20 or more men are prone to insecurities and low self-esteem that make them unlikely to land a husband. She tallies up her number and realizes with horror that she’s just hit that terrible milestone, so Ally vows to go without sex while she reconnects with past lovers, figuring she threw back at least one fish she should have kept on the line.

It’s as episodic as it sounds as Ally and her ally — hunky neighbor Colin (Chris Evans), who conveniently has a snoop’s background, growing up in a family of cops — track down the

men in her life one by one. The exchanges between Ally and her lovers are quick and mostly humdrum, despite a nice range of cameo appearances by such actors as Anthony Mackie, Zachary Quinto, Martin Freeman, Joel McHale, Chris Pratt and Andy Samberg.

Faris’ ditzy earnestness salvages some chuckles from a few of these interactions, particularly when she lapses into a series of deteriorating accents trying to impress an old British beau.

Ari Graynor manages an easy rapport with Faris as Ally’s perfect, soon-to-be-married sister.

But Blythe Danner is stuck in phony overbearing mode as their mother, while Ed Begley Jr. pops up as a lame afterthought as their dad.

Bad as the movie is, it’s a nice showcase for Evans to display his comic charms (and rippling abs as a guy who goes shirtless an awful lot) after establishing his

superhero cred in the title role of the summer hit “Captain America: The First Avenger.”

From the instant Evans’ Colin appears on screen, though, it’s insipidly obvious who Ally’s Mr. Right is, and the movie doesn’t add up enough fun moments to make getting there an interesting trip.

There’s a real missed opportunity for some shrewd laughs and even social insights in Ally’s conviction that 20 lovers make her an undesirable slut while womanizing Colin, who’s clearly bedded far more partners, is simply living every guy’s dream.

“What’s Your Number?” sticks to the low common denominators of most Hollywood romances, and it ends up a commonplace one for doing so.

“What’s Your Number?”, a 20th Century Fox release, is rated R for sexual content and language.

Running time: 106 minutes. One and a half stars out of four.

you must apprise him of that fact. Raising two clubs to three gets the message across.

2. Two notrump. The same obligation to disclose your unrevealed values exists here also, but it is far better to suggest the possibility of playing in game at notrump than to raise two clubs to three, which partner might pass on the assumption that an 11-trick game in clubs is out of reach.

True, this is not an overly impressive hand in its own right, but in light of the bidding, game in notrump is probably right

around the corner.

3. Four clubs. Actually, your values are sufficient for a five-club bid, counting the attractive distribution and excellent trump support, but it might turn out that partner has three-card spade support, which he can show at his next turn.

This would enable you to play in game at a lower level.

It would be wrong to bid only three clubs, which would not come close to representing the true value of your hand in view of partner’s strong bidding to this point.

4. Pass. This is consistent with the theory that when you have a hot potato in your hand, it is best to let go as soon as possible. It is true that, if you now bid two spades and partner passes, you might reach a better contract than two clubs, but there is too much danger that partner might bid again and get you into even more serious trouble.

In misfit hands, you should try to stop bidding at the earliest possible opportunity.

Tomorrow: Good to the last drop.

DEAR ABBY: I have a close friend, “Lindy,” who is dying from liver cancer.

She could no longer eat or drink even before the chemo was started, and she sleeps most of the time. The chemo has done nothing more for her than make her lose her hair.

Lindy is adamant that she’ll beat the cancer. To that end, she wants nothing “negative” passed on to outsiders, including her relatives who live eight hours away. She has no family here except her boyfriend, whom she won’t allow to talk to her doctor.

He refuses to go against her wishes.

I am torn between being loyal to my friend’s belief that she’ll get better, or notifying her family about how sick she really is so they can visit her before she passes. If they come, Lindy will be furious (if she’s still coherent).

But if they don’t have the opportunity, it will be unfair to them.

My heart tells me to call Lindy’s family and tell them to consider a visit sooner rather than later.

DEAR ABBY: I’m a 50year-old female, married 26 years, with three grown children. When I was 16, I dated a guy, “Oliver,” I cared for very much. We got along, never argued and were very close. The attachment we had I have never experienced since.

Months after we broke up, my mom told me that because we were of different races, she had called Oliver’s parents and told them to keep him away from me because we were getting too close.

We both moved on, but through the years I have thought of him often. Sixteen months ago, I found him online. He lives a half-hour away, has two teenagers and is unhappy in his marriage. We spoke on the phone or online for a year. Over the last few months we have been meeting at a nearby park.

Our connection is still there. We are soul mates and no longer want to be without each other. And no, we have NOT had sex.

My husband has been good to me. I love him, but I’m not “in love” with him.

I am torn between staying with my husband to honor the commitment to my family, or following my heart with Oliver. I’m in love with him and don’t want to lose him a second time.

PARENTING

Friday, September 30, 2011

WWW.DAILYCALL.COM

• PIQUA DAILY CALL

Some parents try early potty training PALO ALTO, Calif. (AP) Cen Campbell travels unusually light for a mom with a young child. No wet wipes. No changing pad. No disposable diapers.

The extra baggage isn’t necessary because when Campbell’s toddler Jude needs to go to the bathroom, she brings him to the toilet. They’ve been doing this with mixed success since he was just 12 days old.

“I wouldn’t want to sit in a wet diaper, so why would I make my child do it?” said Campbell.

In the U.S., most new parents would count diapers among the “can’t live without” items for bringing up baby. But some are rejecting that conventional wisdom and helping their children use the toilet from the first few weeks and months of life.

Fans of infant potty training, also called elimination communication or natural infant hygiene, say it’s better for the environment, more economical and a unique way to bond with their child.

Most babies brought up this way, including Jude, wear diapers usually cloth as back up, but get away with using many fewer than babies who are not accustomed to using a potty or toilet from a very young age.

“It seemed to make more sense, especially when I started to notice there were patterns,” said Campbell, a volunteer librarian at Blossom Birth, a parent resource center in Palo Alto. “If you know when they’re going to go, why not hold them over the potty?”

While the idea sounds novel, it goes back centuries and spans cultures, said Laurie Boucke, author of “Infant Potty Training,” which explains the concept and how to do it.

“It’s been used since the beginning of time very successfully in many cultures including in India, Africa, China and even here,” Boucke said.

The theory is that babies have a desire to be clean, are aware of their bodily functions and can

learn to communicate their needs, just as they communicate when they’re hungry and tired.

Relying on diapers, proponents say, trains babies to ignore their natural instinct.

“We bathe the baby, we feed the baby, we do all these other things and you wonder, why not do this?” Boucke said. “If you start really little, they learn from association really quickly.”

The practice, ideally started before a baby is 6 months old, involves observing an infant’s cues that he’s ready to go to the bathroom, such as grunts, teary eyes or flushed cheeks, then bringing him to a toilet.

Caregivers sometimes make a hissing sound while holding the child over the bowl, or time visits to the toilet when the baby is likely to need to eliminate, such as before and after nursing and before and after naps.

The purpose of all this “is to help babies maintain natural awareness of their bodies, and to communicate with them,” said Lisa Baker, a spokeswoman for DiaperFreeBaby.org, a website that similarlyconnects minded parents around the world.

Baker, of Atlanta, became interested in elimination communication for ecological reasons, figuring she could save water by not washing as many cloth diapers and landfill space by avoiding disposables.

She was surprised to find that she also saved money, and ended up feeling uniquely bonded to her daughter Anastasia, who was taken to the toilet beginning at two weeks old and was in underwear by 12 months old.

“It connects you on a whole other level. It’s like you’re reading your baby’s mind. It’s just a thrill to feel that connection,” she said.

There is no age when toilet training is supposed to start. The American Academy of Pediatrics says many children show “signs of readiness” around their second birth-

Child expert Dr. T. Berry Brazelton, who promotes a child-oriented approach to potty training starting it when the child is motivated, said he doesn’t see a problem with elimination communication but believes it is unrealistic for most families in the U.S., where jobs, childcare or family situations could make it hard for parents to do.

“It’s nothing new, but something people have gone back to because they think it seems like a wonderful way to be close,” said Brazelton, who co-authored “Toilet Training: The Brazelton Way” with Dr. Josh Sparrow.

“The reality is, as we’ve moved work out of the home, we’ve needed to come up with a new way,” Sparrow added.

Parents who do it say the key is to not get stressed out about it.

CHIROPRACTIC HEALTH

Chiropractic is a health care profession that focuses on disorders of the musculoskeletal system and the nervous system, and the effects of these disorders on general health, according to the American Chiropractic Association.

Chiropractic care is used most often to treat neuromusculoskeletal complaints, including but not limited to back pain, neck pain, pain in the joints of the arms or legs, and headaches.

Doctors of chiropractic — often referred to as chiropractors or chiropractic physicians — practice a drug-free, hands-on approach to health care that includes patient examination, diagnosis and treatment.

Chiropractors have broad diagnostic skills and are also trained to recommend therapeutic and rehabilitative exercises, as well as to provide nutritional, dietary and lifestyle counseling.

The most common therapeutic procedure performed by doctors of chiropractic is known as

“spinal manipulation,” also called “chiropractic adjustment.”

The purpose of manipulation is to restore joint mobility by manually applying a controlled force into joints that have become hypomobile — or restricted in their movement — as a result of a tissue injury. Tissue injury can be caused by a single traumatic event, such as improper lifting of a heavy object, or through repetitive stresses, such as sitting in an awkward position

with poor spinal posture for an extended period of time. In either case, injured tissues undergo physical and chemical changes that can cause inflammation, pain, and diminished function for the sufferer. Manipulation, or adjustment of the affected joint and tissues, restores mobility, thereby alleviating pain and muscle tightness and allowing tissues to heal.

Chiropractic adjustment rarely causes disHowever, comfort. patients may sometimes

experience mild soreness or aching following treatment (as with some forms of exercise) that usually resolves within 12 to 48 hours.

In many cases, such as lower back pain, chiropractic care may be the primary method of treatment. When other medical conditions exist, chiropractic care may complement or support medical treatment by relieving the musculoskeletal aspects associated with the condition.

Doctors of chiropractic may assess patients through clinical examination, laboratory testing, diagnostic imaging and other diagnostic interventions to determine when chiropractic treatment is appropriate or when it is not appropriate. Chiropractors will readily refer patients to the appropriate health care provider when chiropractic care is not suitable for the patient’s condition, or the condition warrants co-management in conjunction with other members of the health care team.

Tips for patient’s first visit You’ve decided to visit a chiropractor, but you’re not quite sure what to expect on your first visit.

The American Chiropractic Association offers the following information to help you feel at ease during your first chiropractic appointment.

During the first visit, the doctor of chiropractic — commonly referred to as a chiropractor — will complete a thorough examination that typically includes: • Patient history.

• Physical examination • Diagnostic studies (when indicated).

• Diagnosis.

• Chiropractic treatment plan.

Prior to your initial consultation, you will be asked to fill out forms that provide background information about your symptoms and condition. Questions may include: • When did your pain/condition start?

• Where is the pain located?

• Did pain/condition immediately follow an injury or accident?

• Is anything improves or worsens the pain?

• What treatments have you already tried, and how successful were they?

You may also be asked to provide family medical history, any pre-existing medical conditions or prior injuries, and previous and current health providers

The American Chiropractic Association (ACA), based in Arlington, Va., is the largest professional association in the world representing doctors of chiropractic.

The ACA provides lobbying, public relations, professional and educational opportunities for doctors of chiropractic, funds research regarding chiropractic and health issues, and offers leadership for the advancement of the profession.

With approximately 16,000 members, the ACA promotes the highest standards of ethics and patient care, contributing to the health and wellbeing of millions of chiropractic patients.

Q. Did you know we live our lives through our nervous system?

A. “The nervous system controls and coordinates all of the organs and structures of the human body.”

~Gray's Anatomy Textbook, pg. 4

When our nervous system is not functioning at optimum levels various symptoms can occur. Are you experiencing any symptoms? Nervous System = Brain + Spinal Cord + Nerves

General info about chiropractic care As evidence supporting the effectiveness of chiropractic continues to emerge, consumers are turning in large numbers to chiropractic care — a non-surgical, drug-free treatment option.

The American Chiropractic Association offers some interesting facts on this increasingly popular form of health care: • Chiropractic is the largest, most regulated, and best recognized of the complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) professions. It is the third largest doctoral-level health care profession after medicine and dentistry. (Meeker, Haldeman; 2002; Annals of Internal Medicine) • There are more than 60,000 active chiropractic licenses in the United States. All 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands officially recognize chiropractic as a health care profession.

• In 2002, approximately 7.4 percent of the population used chiropractic care — a higher percentage than yoga, massage, acupuncture or other diet-based therapies. (Tindle HA, Davis RB, Phillips RS, Eisenberg DM. Trends in use of complementary and alternative medicine by U.S. adults: 1997-2002. Altern Ther Health Med. 2005 Jan-Feb;11 (1):42-9.)

• Doctors of chiropractic undergo at least four years of professional study. The Council on Chiropractic Education, an agency certified by the Department of Education, currently recognizes 15 chiropractic programs at 18 different locations. In addition, Doctors of chiropractic must pass national board examinations and become state-licensed prior to practicing.

• Doctors of chiropractic provide care in hospitals and other multidisciplinary health care facilities. A few notable examples of chiropractic integration into today’s health care system include the chiropractic department at the National Naval Medical Center in Bethesda, Md., and the care provided to veterans, active-duty military personnel, and Medicare patients.

Who is the typical doctor of chiropractic? Nearly 82 percent of all doctors of chiropractic are in fulltime practice, with the average chiropractor working between 40 to 45 hours per week.

The majority (61 percent) of chiropractors work in an office in which they are the only doctor.

Nearly one-third (31 percent) share an office with one or more chiropractors. The remaining doctors work in a multi disciplinary setting, work in academia, or conduct research.

According to data from 2003, 82 percent of chiropractic practitioners are male.

and treatments.

To properly diagnose your problem and design a treatment program, your doctor of chiropractic needs to know about any of the following: • Bone disorders such as osteoporosis • Implants like pacemakers, artificial joints, cosmetic implants, etc.

• Circulatory problems • Dizziness or blurred vision • Heart conditions such as hypertension • Nausea • Injuries, such as bone fractures, muscle sprains/strains, or disc injuries • Joint disorders such as arthritis

• Any current health condition for which you are receiving care from another health care practitioner When applicable, bring with you any copies of previous tests (for example, MRI or X-ray reports), lab results and a list of any medications you are taking, including over-the-counter medications, nutritional supplements, vitamins, herbs, teas and homeopathic and/or naturopathic substances.

The next step is a physical examination your chiropractor will perform to evaluate your condition and develop a working diagnosis. In addition to general physical examination procedures such as blood pressure, pulse, respiration and temperature, the examination will include specific orthopedic and neurological tests to assess: • Range of motion of the affected area that is observed while you walk, turn, bend or lift.

• Muscle tone.

• Muscle strength.

• Neurological integrity.

• Posture.

Diagnostic studies help diagnose conditions more accurately.

The most common used by chiropractors include: • X-ray.

• MRI (magnetic resonance imaging), CT, or bone scan.

• Laboratory tests.

The scan is non-invasive and can be used on people of all ages, including infants and children. It is the latest and best technology in Chiropractic today and is certified by the Space Foundation which is co-founded by NASA.

Discounted massage prices for the month of October. $30 for 60 minute massage when this offer is mentioned.

HOROSCOPE Friday, Sept. 30, 2011 Your earning potential continues to look encouraging in the next year, provided you don’t make any needless vocational alterations. You could lose out by making a careless switch.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Go out with friends and enjoy yourself socially, but don’t waste your money on frivolous pursuits. You’ll have a far better time getting value from what you spend.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Be careful not to take on more than you can comfortably complete. If you start a bunch of projects and finish none, there could be problems for a long time to come.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Maintaining a positive attitude not only boosts your disposition, it helps you be accepted by your peers. Harboring doubts or being moody causes you to worry about things that’ll never happen.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Find a way to nicely wiggle out of lending some money to a friend who has never repaid you for previous floaters. Your pocketbook could use the breather.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Hoping to impress someone by affecting pretentious mannerisms will only make you look phony. Relax and let your wonderful personality prevail.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — Having an indiscreet conversation with a friend about things that should remain confidential could turn your secrets into common knowledge. Keep your own counsel.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) — Watch yourself so that you don’t snub someone or treat a person rudely just because you are envious of his or her achievements. You’ll get your chance to shine soon.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Strive to be decisive instead of wishy-washy or condescending, which only makes you look weak. A failure to take a firm position could both confuse and annoy your listeners.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — First seek out the proper instructions from an expert before using any unfamiliar tools or materials. You could get in trouble very quickly if you simply start throwing switches.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) — If you have to associate with someone whom you know from experience is deceitful and underhanded, keep your guard up. People don’t easily change.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — So that you’re not construed as being rude and thoughtless, be mindful of any promises or appointments you’ve made. Oversights on your part will not easily be forgiven or forgotten.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — You’ve heard it before: “Unless you have something nice and complimentary to say about a co-worker, don’t say anything at all.” This never gets old, unlike rude or nasty behavior.

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.

Jackson earns AFC honors BEREA (AP) — Browns linebacker D'Qwell Jackson has been selected the AFC's top defensive player for September.

Jackson, who missed 26 straight games over the JACKSON past two seasons because of chest injuries, recorded 30 tackles, 2½ sacks, forced a fumble and recovered one in helping the Browns win two of their first three games. Jackson has adjusted well to Cleveland's new 4-3 defensive scheme.

The Browns' defense has allowed only five touchdowns this season.

Jackson is the fourth Cleveland player to be selected as the AFC's top defensive player since the award was established in 1986 and first since Eric Turner in December 1994.

Piqua’s Hayley Monroe hits the ball against Troy Thursday night.

For Piqua volleyball senior Brooke Reinke, outlasting state-ranked Lebanon Tuesday night in five games — great.

Beating Troy in four games Thursday night on Senior Night to wrap up Piqua’s first outright volleyball title since joining in the GWOC in 2001 (they shared the title that year) — awesome.

Having her sisters Scarlett (from Florida) and Summer (from Illinois) fly in to see it — priceless.

“This was the best night,” Reinke said afterwards. “My heart dropped when I saw them (her sisters enter the gym). I was so excited and happy.”

So, it seemed fitting that Reinke pounded the final kill to finish off Troy 25-20, 25-17, 22-25, 25-23 to improve Piqua to 13-3 overall and 5-0 in the GWOC North.

“I knew if the ball came to me, I was putting it away,” Reinke said. “It was time to end the match.”

It set off a wild celebration from one of the biggest volleyball crowds Piqua has had in years.

“We couldn’t have done it without them,” Reinke said.

“The student section, all the fans that were here — that was amazing.”

It completed a brilliant three-day run for the Lady Indians, who went five games with Lebanon Tuesday and four games with Greenville Wednesday.

“That’s why I am so proud of these girls,” Piqua coach Chris Davis said. “We left the gym at 10:30 Tuesday night and we got back at 10:30 last night — when you factor in school, that just doesn’t leave a lot of time.”

For Reinke and Hayley Monroe, it was a Senior Night they will never forget

— but it was truly a team effort.

“We had a lot of different girls step up at different times,” he said. “I think because of the crowd, the girls were a little bit nervous tonight. And that showed at times. But, I think we made a big statement this week and should be seeded high in the GWOC tournament.”

And while some of those nerves showed early, Piqua continued to show the knack to win the big points.

Leading 21-19 late in the first game, Shelby Vogler served four straight points to give Piqua game point and Jasmine Davis won a battle at the net to finish it off.

“I think we know what we have to do,” Vogler said.

It was then Vogler who stepped up at the most pivotal point of the match.

After Piqua had gotten down 14-9 in the second game, Taylor Bachman served four straight points, including two aces to even it at 14 and Davis added an ace, with a tip from Reinke, to put Piqua in front 17-15.

“It always helps when you get points off serves like that,” Chris Davis said.

Following a timeout at 1916, Vogler simply took over the match.

“I just knew I could do it,” she said. “I knew they couldn’t stop me.”

She was responsible for Piqua’s final six points, with four kills and one tip, before a thunderous block on Jenna Selby to put Piqua up two games.

“That was huge,” Davis said. “Shelby really stepped See PIQUA/Page 16

Reds have much of work to do Disappointing season comes to end

APPHOTO

Devin Nesoraco could be one of the new faces in the Reds lineup next season.

another veteran? Rookie shortstop Zack Cozart played well after a midseason promotion, but needed reconstructive surgery on his left (nonthrowing) elbow after a collision at second base.

The Reds also have to sort out the pitching staff and could be in the market to acquire a starter.

They have to decide whether to move left-hander Aroldis Chapman back into a starter's role after a year and a half in the bullpen.

There are money issues, too. Closer Francisco Cordero had a solid season with 37 saves. The Reds have an option to keep him, but it's pricey — $12 million. They also have a $12 million option on second baseman Brandon Phillips, who would like a long-term deal rather than the one-year commitment.

"That's like if you rent a house for a year," Phillips said. "That's not going to work. I am very content with them picking up my option, if they do, but this is my career. I want an extension. I want to stay here for the rest of my career."

There's a long to-do list.

"It's definitely going to be an interesting offseason to watch," Arroyo said.

Piqua’s Shelby Vogler passes the ball against Troy Thursday night.

Piqua Continued from page 15 up at a critical time.

That last block was a big one and it was against their big horse (Jenna Selby).”

The third game was close, but Piqua could never get over the top and was forced to go to a fourth game.

“I don’t know what it is,” Davis said. “It seemed like we just seemed to relax and you can’t do that.”

And even when Piqua opened a 6-1 lead in the fourth game, Troy rallied and was leading 19-17 when Davis called a timeout.

“I guess we just like to make it interesting,” Vogler said with a smile.

Piqua would score eight of the final 11 points to put the game away.

Vogler was able to did a serve off the net that led to a Reinke kill to star the

run.

Vogler had two kills and Tasha Potts added one as Piqua took a 24-22 lead.

After a Troy sideout to make it 24-23, Reinke finished it by drilling a kill down the line and setting off the wild celebration.

“I think all of us were exhausted (playing for the third straight night),” Reinke said. “But, it was Troy and we knew how important this match was.

It was just time to go home.”

Vogler led the hitters with 18 kills, two blocks and nine digs; while Reinke had 10 kills and 10 digs.

Davis had 35 assists and served two aces, while Bachman had 15 digs and two aces.

Monroe added six kills, two blocks and two digs; while Potts had three kills and one block.

Macy Yount had three digs and Abby Berger added two.

Piqua will be back in action Monday in the GWOC tournament and will find out who they host today when the seeding is done.

“I think we should be seeded high,” Davis said.

“This was a big week for us and the girls deserve it.”

But, the celebrating wasn’t over until Davis entered the locker room — his players were waiting with silly string, which he still had evidence of as he left the lockerroom.

“They sprayed it all over me,” he said. “But, that is alright. They were having a lot of fun in there.”

The rotation was in flux throughout the season because of injuries and Edinson Volquez's struggles.

Arroyo never fully recovered from the mono and gave up a club-record 46 homers while going 9-12.

Once healthy, Cueto went 9-5 with a 2.31 ERA. Mike Leake also was dependable in his second pro season, going 12-9 with a 3.86 ERA. The others were inconsistent or worse. The Reds' pitching staff finished 12th in the league with a 4.16 ERA and gave up 185 homers, second-most in the league.

So, where do they go from here?

Rolen turns 37 on April 4. He didn't play after surgery to clean out his left shoulder on Aug. 3. He's got one year left on his contract at $6.5 million.

"I like the responsibility of taking my position," Rolen said. "That's what I feel grossly short of this year. When I was out there, I didn't contribute the way I wanted to.

"Next year, I have aspirations of having a healthier shoulder. I know I have a healthier shoulder right now."

Left field is still a question — do the Reds give it to one of their young players, or try to bring in yet

CINCINNATI (AP) — Johnny Cueto came down with a bum shoulder. So did Homer Bailey. Bronson Arroyo was tested for something called valley fever and was diagnosed with mononucleosis instead.

And that was only spring training.

The hits kept coming for the Cincinnati Reds, who didn't make much of a stand while trying to defend their NL Central title.

"If our year's been a road, it's been a foggy road," manager Dusty Baker said. "Waiting for the sun to burn it off, it never did."

The fog rolled in shortly after the 91-win team was bumped from the playoffs, no-hit and swept by the Philadelphia Phillies.

They spent more than $150 million in the offseason on contract extensions for Cueto, Arroyo, Joey Votto and Jay Bruce. The tried to patch over problems at shortstop and left field.

General manager Walt Jocketty thought that by keeping the core of a playoff team intact, it would be set up for another title run. His biggest moves backfired, and the Reds finished in third place at 79-83 — their 10th losing season in the last 11 years.

There are significant decisions coming off that 83-loss wake-up call.

"This is going to be a strange offseason, I think," Arroyo said. "I don't think anyone in the clubhouse right here has any idea of the moves the front office wants to make.

They have a lot on their plate and I don't know what direction they are going in. Are they are going to keep it young and keep the core guys and add a couple of pieces? Or will they make drastic trades and trade some of the prospects to acquire other guys?"

In some ways, they're stuck in the same place as a year ago.

Fresh off their first playoff appearance in 15 years, the Reds seemed flush with offense and young pitching. The problems areas were shortstop, left field and third base, where Scott Rolen was having problems with his back and neck.

They replaced shortstop Orlando Cabrera with Edgar Renteria and let him share the job with Paul Janish. Both struggled mightily. They kept Jonny Gomes in left field and brought in Fred Lewis to share the spot, a move that backfired, too. Rolen's body gave out again — he played in only 65 games, batted .242, hit five homers and had shoulder surgery.

As a result, the Reds took a giant step back at three of the eight everyday positions.

That wasn't all.

Votto followed his National League MVP season with another impressive one, leading the league in doubles, walks, on-base percentage and batting with runners in scoring position. Bruce had an up-and-down season, finishing with 32 homers and 97 RBIs and a .256 average.

Drew Stubbs eventually lost his leadoff spot in the order because of his propensity to strike out and ended up fanning 205 times, most in the majors.

The pitching was the biggest problem.

Benson awaits word on his suspension Bengals back will play against Buffalo Backup Bernard Scott has played sparingly, carrying only eight times during the first three games.

The Bengals have given tryouts to free agent running backs Larry Johnson and Clinton Portis, but coach Marvin Lewis said on Wednesday those were scheduled before the team know of Benson's predicament.

Lewis expects Benson to be available to play this week.

"If we don't hear something generally by Tuesday, we're going to assume everything is going to go status quo," Lewis said.

"Otherwise it puts you at a bit of a disadvantage.

But we're prepared either way. We've been on this thing."

The possibility that Benson and cornerback Adam "Pacman" Jones could be suspended has miffed their teammates.

Offensive tackle Andrew Whitworth — the team's union representative — is upset that eight players are facing discipline for incidents that happened during the

NFL's lockout. Benson was a free agent during the lockout, when he was arrested on a misdemeanor assault charge in Texas.

Benson served five days in a Texas jail before the start of the season to settle two misdemeanor assault cases from the past two years.

"I feel it's unfair," Whitworth said Wednesday. "If I'd have been injured in the offseason during the lockout, they could cut me and have no repercussions for it. The NFL could say, 'You were injured and you weren't an employee of ours because there was a lockout.' By the same token, they want to punish guys and say you are an employee of the NFL during the lockout when it comes to discipline and so we can punish you. That doesn't make any sense.

"I think we're going down muddy waters here.

I'm either an employee of NFL or not. I don't condone their actions, I don't condone what they've done, but they weren't employed."

D’Qwell Jackson (52) and Joe Haden (23) have been two of the bright spots for the Browns. point in the first quarter in any of their three games. Consequently, they fell behind in all three games this season.

“We’ve got to find a way to start fast,” Shurmur said. “We were just watching the tape on offense and we were running the same type of plays the second half that we were running in the first half. It was very clear that we were just executing them better in the second half coming out of the halftime. So that’s the message — listen guys, relax and just execute.

“Take the gimmes, get yards on the runs that we’re running the football, get into manageable third downs. Let’s move the football and find a way to stay on the field.

“All of those great things that you want to do you don’t get a chance to do if you don’t get enough plays and I think you have to start fast to get enough plays on offense. And then the defense doesn’t have to play two-thirds of the game as well.”

On Sunday, the Browns possessed the ball for 22 minutes, nine seconds.

The Dolphins held it for

S p o r t s

37:51.

Many national writers on their way through Berea during their training camp tours predicted doom and gloom for the Browns. A 2-1 start doesn’t fit, although the Browns are in the soft part of their schedule. The Bengals are 1-2 having beaten the Browns in the opener. The Colts and Dolphins, the Browns’ two victims, are both 0-3.

Shurmur is not looking down the road to the last third of the season when the Browns play the Steelers and Ravens twice each. Instead, he is locked in firmly on the Titans, the opponent Sunday in Cleveland Browns Stadium. The Titans are 2-1.

“It’s a 17-week season,” Shurmur said. “The next milepost is the Tennessee Titans. When you start to look beyond the next day or the next game, that’s when you start making mistakes.

“You can’t project. Play them out and add them up at the end.”

The Browns are on their bye after playing the Titans on Sunday. The Browns haven’t been 3-1 since 2001.

CINCINNATI (AP) — Cedric Benson is satisfied with his appeal hearing.

Now it's a matter of waiting for the NFL to decide whether the Cincinnati Bengals running back be suspended for an offseason arrest.

Benson's appeal of a proposed three-game suspension was heard on Tuesday, with no decision by the league. He's available to play on Sunday against the undefeated Buffalo Bills at Paul Brown Stadium. There are no guarantees after that.

The running back was glad to be done with it.

"The meeting was the most stressful thing for me," Benson said Wednesday. "I wanted that to go well and I felt it did.

That's behind me now.

We'll hope for no issues at all but if for some reason they want to bully the system and create an issue, then I've got to be receptive to that."

It would be a big setback for the Bengals to lose Benson, who has been their leading rusher each of the last three seasons.

BEREA — The Browns are 2-1 for the first time since 2002, back before the United States invaded Iraq, back when Colt McCoy was in junior high school and back when Pat Shurmur was in his first year as quarterback coach of the Philadelphia Eagles.

Now in his first year as a head coach, Shurmur has been around too long to put out the message the Browns have arrived as the newest hot commodity in the NFL. Instead, he has a checklist detailing what the Browns must do to get better.

The list is a long one.

After beating the Colts, 27-19, Shurmur said “a boatload” of corrections had to be made. He amended that after beating the Dolphins, 17-16, Sunday to say there is “a freighter” load to correct.

“From everything offensively to running the football, to protecting the quarterback, to the quarterback making the right decisions and throwing accurately, to guys getting open and making plays when they’re covered — all those things is what I’m referring to,” Shurmur said at his Monday press conference. “On defense — making sure we continue to challenge, tackling in the open field, being gap secure when they run the football … We work on them constantly. We need to keep doing it.”

As much as anything, Shurmur wants better starts from the offense.

The Browns have scored 35 points in the second period, six in the third and 20 in the fourth quarter.

Bri’onte Dunn, a 2012 Ohio State verbal commitment, has kept in contact with Michigan and Penn State despite that commitment. But he has not said he is backing away from OSU.

— Ohio State running back Jordan Hall talks about freshman quarterback Braxton Miller.

Michigan State at Ohio State, 3:30 Saturday, ABC QUARTERBACKS >

RECEIVERS >

Braxton Miller (two touchdown passes, 83 yards rushing) was a definite upgrade at QB for Ohio State against a weak Colorado team last Saturday. Now he has to do it against a Michigan State team looking to repeat its Big Ten co-title of 2010 and get coach Mark Dantonio’s first win against OSU. Michigan State’s Kirk Cousins has completed 68 percent of his passes for 947 yards and five touchdowns this season and is a 65-percent career passer. He is a three-year starter and one of only two three-time captains in MSU football history.

Advantage: Michigan State

Freshman Devin Smith (8 catches for 183 yards) has been impressive since his first game, something some other highly touted recent receivers at OSU never accomplished. Three of his eight catches have been for touchdowns, including two against Colorado. The search is still on for a consistent second receiver, though.

B.J. Cunningham has caught more passes (168) than any receiver in Michigan State history and has a reception in 38 straight games. He has 29 catches for 428 yards and a touchdown this season.

Keshawn Martin (14 catches, 132 yards, no TDs) is MSU’s No. 2 option.

Advantage: Michigan State

< OFFENSIVE LINE Ohio State’s 226 yards rushing against Colorado was its second straight solid performance in the running game. The line’s ability to play well despite the absence of All-Big Ten tackle Mike Adams because of a five-game suspension might be one of the overlooked stories of the season so far.

Injuries have left Michigan State scrambling on its offensive line. Guards Joel Foreman and Chris McDonald have combined for 51 starts, but the other three spots have been filled by players short on experience. In their only game that wasn’t against overmatched competition, the Spartans ran for 29 yards in a 31-13 loss to Notre Dame.

Advantage: Ohio State

< DEFENSIVE LINE The absence of Nathan Williams the last two games because of arthroscopic knee surgery revealed John Simon’s versatility when he was used more as a pass rusher. Williams’ injury has also meant more playing time for redshirt freshman J.T. Moore.

Jerel Worthy, a three-year starter, is the leader on the line for MSU. The Spartans rank first in the country in total defense (172.5 yards per game), but playing Youngstown State, Florida Atlantic and Central Michigan could have something to do with that. They will try to put Ohio State and Miller in third-and-long situations and rely on a Dantonio favorite, the blitz.

Advantage: Ohio State

LINEBACKERS Returning starter Andrew Sweat could be spending more time on the field with young linebackers. Freshman Ryan Shazier has caught on in a hurry and was in on nearly 30 plays against Colorado. His playing time could increase, as could that of another freshman, Curtis Grant.

For Michigan State, linebackers Max Bullough, Denicos Allen and Chris Norman are the team’s top three tacklers and Allen has a team-high five tackles for losses.

Advantage: Even

JORDAN HALL The 5-foot-9, 195-pound senior running back from Jeannette, Pa. has been an explosive weapon since returning. In two games he has 171 yards rushing and has returned two kicks for 135 yards and three punts for 44 yards.

RUNNING BACKS > Jordan Hall has shown he is much more than Terrelle Pryor’s high school teammate the last two weeks since returning from a two-game suspension. He led OSU in rushing for a second straight week against Colorado with 84 yards on 18 carries and had kickoff returns of 90 and 45 yards.

Le’Veon Bell (217 yards) and Edwin Baker (216 yards) share the rushing duties for Michigan State. Baker was a first-team All-Big Ten selection last season. Bell, from Groveport Madison High School, is one of 24 Spartans who come from Ohio.

< DEFENSIVE BACKS This appears to be one of the deepest areas for the Buckeyes. Christian Bryant played his way into the starting lineup for the first time last week at safety and already has drawn comparisons to Jermale Hines, one of the standouts of last year’s defensive backfield. MSU’s Cousins will be their toughest challenge of the season so far, though.

Isaiah Lewis, a first-year starter at safety, leads Michigan State with two interceptions, which ties him for the Big Ten lead. The other safety Trenton Robinson is in his third year as a starter and cornerback Johnny Adams has been in the lineup for two years.

Advantage: Ohio State

SPECIAL TEAMS Whatever the problem was with kicker Drew Basil early in the season, he seems to have corrected it and has hit his last five field goal attempts. Jordan Hall’s kick returns add another dimension to OSU’s offense.

MSU kicker Dan Conroy was almost automatic last season when he hit 14 of 15 field goal attempts. He has two misses already this season, both inside 30 yards. He is working with a new long snapper and new holder.

Advantage: Even

Miller still learning on the job COLUMBUS — How much is too much? How often is too often?

Freshman quarterback Braxton Miller brought some excitement to Ohio State’s offense in his first start last week against Colorado.

But he also brought some fear because he ran the ball 17 times.

If Miller, who missed several games in high school at Huber Heights Wayne because of injuries, runs that much every game, can he survive a whole season?

Even his teammates have wondered the same thing, most notably when a tackler flipped him during a run in the first half against Colorado.

“It was like a car wreck in slow motion,” offensive lineman Jack Mewhort said about watching that play. “I saw it out of the corner of my eye and was like, ‘Wow, he shouldn’t be doing that.’”

What running quarterbacks should and should’t be doing is always open for debate. Even in their coaches’ minds.

Earlier this week, Ohio State coach Luke Fickell said, “Obviously, we’ve got to be conscious of it. I’m not sure that’s the amount of times we’d like to have. But there are situations where he’s going to run.

“What’s the perfect number? I don’t know,” he said.

“Knowing when to take off, when to get down, when to go for the extra yardage, those are things you have to learn.”

Judging by past Ohio State quarterbacks who could attack defenses with their feet, that lesson does come with experience.

In Troy Smith’s first year as a starter in 2004, he averaged 14 rushes per game.

By the next year, it was down to 12 rushes per game, and by 2006, he was running the ball an average of only six times a game.

Terrelle Pryor’s fewest rushing attempts in a season came last year in his third year as a starter.

That’s probably Miller’s future, too.

Ohio State just needs to get him to that future in one piece.
