Letters
The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance. 2 Peter 3:9 (ESV)
n the midst of the Solyndra controversy, that has raised serious questions about the Obama Administration’s oversight of taxpayer dollars, hundreds of Southern Ohio workers stand to lose their jobs if the Obama Administration reneges on the president’s promise to support an energy project in the small town of Piketon, Ohio. I urge the administration to not betray the citizens of Southern Ohio. In September 2008, then-Sen. Obama, the Democratic nominee for president, promised Ohioans he would back United States Enrichment Corporation (USEC), Inc.’s application for a loan to construct the American Centrifuge Project’s uranium enrichment plant. In a letter to then-Governor of Ohio Ted Strickland, presidential candidate Barack Obama pledged that under his administration, ‘energy programs that promote safe and environmentally-sound technologies and are domestically produced, such as the enrichment facility in Ohio, will have my full support.’ Since the president made his promise, USEC has endured years of review and taken the necessary steps to conserve cash and protect jobs. The company has even gone the extra mile to secure additional private investment to reduce taxpayer exposure, but the Department of Energy still has yet to act. In March 2009, while USEC waited to hear word of whether the project would get a loan guarantee, the Department of Energy signed over a $535 million loan to Solyndra which would later be reported as made before final marketing and legal reviews were in. In the months following, administration officials and the president JOHN BOEHNER made their way to Solyndra to congratulate and applaud 8th District Congressman their work while USEC continued to be delayed for further review for acceptance into the program. In October 2010, the Department of Energy conceded that Solyndra had a ‘cash flow crisis,’ and then a little under a year later, Solyndra shut its doors, fired more than 1,100 workers, and filed for Chapter 11. Now the Piketon project is at risk of being shut down, leaving hundreds of jobs in limbo, and the Solyndra controversy has raised serious questions about the Obama Administration’s handling of taxpayer dollars. In that case, it was the government that seemingly went the extra mile, not the company. In stark contrast to the ‘stimulus’-centric Solyndra saga, the Piketon project offers the chance to bring thousands of good-paying, long-term jobs to an area suffering from the Buckeye State’s highest jobless rate. But sadly, on September 30, 2011, USEC announced it would be forced to reduce spending on the Piketon project by 30 percent, and sent out notices to 450 employees who may have to be laid off. I agree with the sentiment that Sen. Rob Portman expressed with the Department of Energy’s inaction: ‘It should not have come to this. These workers have waited long enough. I hope that the Obama Administration will realize the impact demobilization will have on Southern Ohio and on our national security and energy security needs and find a path to move forward with a conditional commitment as soon as possible.’ The Obama Administration still has time to do the right thing, but not much. Without action soon, USEC announced today, it has no choice but to plan on hundreds of layoffs, suspend contracts, and move to shut down the project. That doesn’t have to happen. I implore the president, on behalf of all Ohioans, to keep his word. Boehner represents Ohio’s 8th District, which includes all of Darke, Miami and Preble counties, most of Butler and Mercer counties, and the northeastern corner of Montgomery County.

Letters to the Editor
Local residents support school plan To the Editor: On Nov. 8, Piqua has a unique opportunity to replace obsolete school buildings with the state of Ohio contributing 47 percent of the funds for the project. Piqua has been on the waiting list for Ohio School Facilities Commission assistance for over a decade as neighboring districts built new schools. We must approve this levy to fund our matching share of the project now or we will be funding the entire project in the near future. This is our only chance to get our share of these state funds. Several of Piqua’s elementary and intermediate schools are over 80 years old and in need of major repairs. It will cost
more to renovate these outdated buildings than it will to fund new construction at this time when state assistance is being offered. The new buildings will significantly lower the districts annual maintenance and repair costs. As an added benefit to the city of Piqua, the former hospital site will be transformed to become the location of a new intermediate school. We urge the citizens of Piqua to support this fiscally-conservative plan to build the schools our children and community need. Vote for the Piqua City School levies Nov. 8. —Mark and Janet Kister Piqua
Parents say time to act is now To the Editor: Having been born, raised and a ’92 graduate of Piqua High School and now having returned to Piqua to work and raise our family, my wife (Melanie) and I have a valid interest as all citizens should in the future education of the children in our community. Currently our sons Devon and Dylon attend High Street School. With the recent approval by the Ohio School Facilities Commission to provide 47 percent of the entire construction cost of three new school buildings and the demolition of those older high maintenance facilities, Piqua needs to act now. We feel the time is now to build new school facilities that provide the infrastructure necessary to teach our children with the most modernized educational tools for the 21st century. For years, Piqua has sat by watching most other surrounding communities
build modernized, energy efficient and technology rich facilities while taking advantage of state tax reimbursements. Why sit on the side lines any longer? We have a fiscally responsible administration, dedicated teachers and children eager to learn. The time is now to invest in Piqua’s future, the time is now to provide the technological tools required enabling our children to excel in the classroom and beyond; the time is now to end the ever increasing costs to maintain the existing older school facilities. Are you willing to pass up $25 million in state tax reimbursements? The money from the state will not be available much longer. If we wait, we may very well see ourselves paying 100 percent of the demolition and construction costs. Please join us in voting on Nov. 8 for the school bond levy. —Jim and Melanie Sever Piqua
‘Yes’ vote advocated for Piqua levy To the Editor: Recently, I learned that the state of Ohio conducted a study on how much it will cost the (Piqua) district to keep its existing elementary schools. The estimated cost to the district to consolidate the current elementary buildings into five buildings and to renovate these five buildings to meet our current needs will be almost $35,000,000. If the levy is successful, and the district is able to build new buildings, the cost to the district will be $29,000,000. In addition, it is estimated that the district will save approximately $60,000 per year for utilities. I understand that nobody wants
to pay new taxes. I also understand that the economy is not the best and many people are struggling. However, with the state paying approximately $26,000,000 of the elementary school project and with the current low interest rates available, there is probably not a better time to build the new schools. Some may say, just use the old elementary schools. They will work fine. Look at the numbers, if we don’t build new, we may pay substantially more later. Please support the passage of the school levy. —Frank J. Patrizio Piqua
To the Editor: As a youngster growing up in Piqua, I was afforded the best of both worlds. I received an exemplary education during my first eight years at St. Mary Catholic School and, later, at both Wilder Junior High School and Piqua Central High School where I was graduated in 1964. I have many pleasant memories of my junior and senior high school experiences. Excellent faculty members such as Robert “Pop” Richardson, Gustav Wincent, Nellie Otte, Wendell Carter, Jim Hardman and Forest T. Groves peaked my interest in academics.. Equally as memorable was John Davis who conducted varsity choir and all-school musicals such as “My Fair Lady” and “The Sound of Music.” It was during those years at Piqua Central when my mother, Lorma (Soerhoff) Lange (‘36), encouraged me to write articles for PHS’s literary magazine. Her motivation coupled with an adviser’s enthusiasm led to my lifelong career in journalism. We can all reflect on what impact Piqua City Schools had on our upbringing. I was blessed with a quality education in both parochial and public schools. I am hopeful that our city’s residents will vote affirmatively for the November bond issue and pay it forward for future generations who deserve the same opportunities that we, as baby boomers, experienced during our childhood. Please vote “yes” on the November ballot. We have an excellent opportunity to receive 47 percent of construction costs for three new buildings from the state of Ohio. Unfortunately these monies may not be made available again and the total burden of costs will ultimately fall on the taxpayers in years to come. For less than the cost of one pizza per month, we can make a difference and provide our community’s children with the education — and memories — they deserve. —Sharon (Lange) Semanie Piqua

It’s possible that the house of worship where the wedding will be held — as well as the families involved — may be conservative or orthodox, which is why the women are being asked to cover themselves. If you feel the dress code is too much of an imposition, you should politely decline the invitation. DEAR ABBY: My granddaughter, who is 18, had a child last year. She kept the baby and dropped out of school. She is now working and has returned to school to get her GED. My husband has always loved her and helps her financially. My problem is she has twice stolen from a fund I keep for our church. Although she is the only one who could have done it, my husband refuses to believe it. I now insist on locking everything up. Abby, if she had asked for the money either time, her grandfather would have given it to her. I think she gets an adrenaline rush from stealing.

NEW YORK — As Feist celebrated her 35th birthday earlier this year with an intimate dinner among friends, she was momentarily distracted by the intense flickering of a television in a nearby room. The images were bizarre motorbikes on a stage accompanied by pyrotechnics and music. Whatever it was seemed outlandish and jarring. What, she wondered, could be the spectacle? It wasn’t until she got closer to the television that the frenetic, choreographed commotion made sense. It was the telecast of the Grammy Awards. Only three years earlier, she was part of that scene, performing “1234,” the song that would make the former indie artist a global sensation in a different out-of-context performance. Now, watching the awards, the images she saw confirmed how surreal that experience had been and how she just doesn’t fit into that poppy, musical world. “The Grammys, and the magnitude of that spotlight, it wasn’t a place where I felt at home. Like what I do doesn’t really happen there,” Feist said during a recent interview as she sat on a quiet patio at her downtown Manhattan hotel. “It’s such a potent and brief moment, and it doesn’t really speak to the truth of what touring and being a musician is. It’s mostly fanfare, inflated and very intense. I wasn’t feeling very comfortable in that kind of setting.” Now that Feist is releasing “Metals,” the follow-

In this Aug. 29 file photo, singer Feist poses for a portrait in New York. Feist’s latest release “Metals,” the follow-up to her breakout album “The Reminder,” will be available this week. up to her breakthrough, heralded 2007 album, “The Reminder,” she’s back in her comfort zone. Her fourth album has a darker tone, but still has that otherworldly, mystical quality that has made her one of music’s more original voices. “It’s just heading into a much more personal and bold and more uncompromising direction, taking all kinds of risks, which I respect,” says her longtime collaborator Chilly Gonzales, one of the album’s producers and songwriters. He compares her new album to territory occupied by Kate Bush and PJ Harvey ambitious, daring, but most important, a new direction from “The Reminder” era. “She’s in a great position to push,” he added. “I wish more people would be more like her … take those moments when they have those brief little moments and say, ‘Let’s not replicate that.’” It would have been tempting to try. While the Canadian singer already had a name and critical acclaim, it wasn’t until she decided to let Apple use a clip of her video for the whimsical “1234” for an iPod Nano commercial that the mainstream pub-
lic became fascinated with Feist. The clip, which featured dancers in brightly colored outfits, swaying with a sparkly dressed Feist as if it were a scene from a Broadway musical, entranced millions. From “The Colbert Report” to “Sesame Street,” Feist and her video made the rounds, and the song became a pop hit. Looking back, Feist isn’t sure she would agree to let her video be used in such a commercial way. “When I made that decision, I was in a really different place and I really didn’t know; like, no one could imagine that would happen. It was incredible in a lot of ways as well, but it’s put me in circumstances now where I wouldn’t necessarily feel that that is something that could be helpful,” she said. “I landed somewhere different than I started, so now I would have very different perspectives on all of that, for sure.” When the whirlwind was over, Feist had hit a wall. Including her tour for “The Reminder,” she had been on the road for seven years, with almost no time to sit and contemplate new material, or spend time with family and friends. So she re-
treated, taking about two years off though she collaborated with friends like Broken Social Scene and put together a documentary of the experience of “The Reminder,” last year’s “Look at What the Light Did Now.” “It’s so funny, I almost don’t even remember having time off,” she said, laughing. “I didn’t do anything specific except not go to a different town every night. I just did everything you can’t do while you’re moving. I planted a little garden and I adopted some dogs. I got a place in the country and just like hung out in the woods a lot. … It took about a year and a half of just floating before I got interested in reframing things, which is ultimately what songwriting is.” Musician Mocky, another longtime collaborator who worked on both “The Reminder” and “Metals,” said he was gratified that his old friend remained intact, personally and professionally, after the whirlwind that became “The Reminder.” “She’s still the same amazing musician, amazing performer,” said Mocky, who is a producer and songwriter on “Metals.”
■ Contract Bridge — By Steve Becker
Taking care of business
Over the long haul, defenders who play mechanically will not do nearly as well as those who play thoughtfully. Today’s deal from a duplicate game provides a case in point. The deal was played at eight tables, and at every table the final contract was four spades by South, against which West led the queen of hearts. At seven of the tables, declarer made 10 tricks — five spades, two hearts and three clubs. Since seven declarers achieved this result, and since 10 tricks seem to be there for
the taking, this would seem to be the normal outcome. But it shouldn’t be, as demonstrated by what happened at the eighth table. First, let’s see how the play went at the other tables. South won the heart lead with the ace, cashed the A-K of spades and led a spade to the jack. Declarer then tried a club finesse, losing the queen to East’s king. At this point, the defense varied. Some Easts shifted to a diamond, and after the defenders collected two diamonds, declarer had the rest, eventually discarding the heart six on dummy’s nine of clubs. At the tables where East returned

DEAR ABBY: I met my husband, “Jerome,” two years ago. During our courtship, he helped me to find faith. Because of that, I wanted a completely honest relationship with him and confessed to a “less than moral” experience that occurred several years before I met him. Apparently he was able to accept it, because he proposed and we have been married for several months. Recently, however, Jerome has been saying it’s bothering him and he doesn’t know how to let it go. I’m angry and hurt that something that happened long ago is now causing problems in my marriage. It has made me question why I was honest with him. I’m afraid Jerome will never forgive me. He says he feels as though he has to compete with my past and doesn’t feel he can live up to it. How do I tackle this problem? I can’t change my past, I can’t take back what I told him, and I can’t do anything to change my husband. Please help. — HAUNTED BY THE PAST

a heart, declarer similarly finished with 10 tricks. At the table where the contract failed, East found a way to give South a chance to go wrong, and it made all the difference. Here, when declarer led a club to the jack at trick five, East did not take the king. South naturally assumed (there was, of course, no way of telling) that West had the king, in which case repeating the finesse was necessary and might even yield an over-
trick. So declarer crossed to his hand with the heart king and led a club to the queen. This time East won, and the defenders quickly cashed a heart and two diamonds to set the contract. East’s refusal to win the first club is a play that has much to gain and little to lose. All it takes is a bit of thought and a natural reluctance to play mechanically. Tomorrow: A case of timing.

Cold snap puts chill on growing season It is a cold 40-degree Monday morning. Yesterday morning it was even colder and it frosted in a lot of places. This will probably put the garden season for 2011 to an end. My back porch has red beets and peppers waiting to be canned. Friday we went to get apples and grapes at the local U-Pick farm. A lady in our church offered me use of her steamer to make the grape juice. I can now see how much easier it is to steam the grapes and can the concentrate, rather than use the method I had used before. We put two bushels of grapes into juice on Saturday using the steamer. I hope to get me a steamer before the next growing season. Husband Joe went back to work after a week at home due to not having work at the factory. Last week was a very rainy week so he didn’t get the garden tilled yet, since it was too wet. He did get a lot of other odd and end jobs done around the house. The week being rainy it was very difficult to get the laundry dried. We hung as much of it on
LOVINA EICHER The Amish Cook our porch as we could. We don’t have our stove going yet so not having heat yet in the house clothes didn‘t dry very fast. Even on the porch the clothes did not dry well due to the dampness from the rain. We finally managed to get everything dry by Friday after we had washed everything on Tuesday. Saturday was cold but sunny and breezy so we took advantage of the weather. We did laundry again and took all the bed sheets. Every week the bed sheets from six beds can make a huge laundry. It is now 8 a.m. and the sun is shining bright. We will do laundry again today taking advantage of the weather. It doesn’t take long for
dirty laundry to accumulate with 10 people in the family. Yesterday Jacob, Emma, and family and Elizabeth’s friend were our dinner guests. On the menu was meatloaf, mashed potatoes, gravy, dressing, corn, mixed vegetables, macaroni salad, pasta salad, sliced cheese, sliced tomatoes, green peppers, and sweet onions. Also strawberry cheesecake, peach cobbler, peanut butter pie, and watermelon. The watermelon was out of Jacob’s garden. The peach cobbler daughter Susan made with peaches we put in the freezer. Our neighbor lady gave me the peaches and also gave me the idea of freezer peaches to put in pies and desserts. We had plenty of leftovers for supper tonight. The children enjoyed taking pony rides with Stormy while their cousins were visiting. Meanwhile, the girls went over to our friend Amy’s house to see the newest addition to their family, a daughter, Emily Elizabeth. We used to help her out with her other children. Her twins Joshua and Jacob, 7,
would always come here after school while they were in kindergarten. Her son Matthew we kept here for a few months also while Amy worked. It didn’t take us long to really get attached to the children. Lovina and Kevin always enjoyed their playmates when they were here. Now time has passed so quickly and they are all in school full time. Yesterday afternoon we had surprise visitors from Ohio. They were Joe’s Uncle Solomon Eicher, another uncle, Jacob and Mary Eicher, and three of their grandchildren, Susan, Norman, and Ben Eicher. Ben has a special friend in this community. We were glad they stopped in for a visit. We have three bushels of apples on hand which the children enjoy eating for after school snacks. We are also enjoying fresh cider right now. With all the apples we have on hand, we are trying many new recipes. For instance, try this delicious, fresh apple cake: APPLE CAKE
3 eggs 2 cups sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla 1 cups pecans, chopped 1 1/2 cups vegetable oil 3 cups flour 1 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon salt 3 cups peeled apples, sliced Preheat oven to 350. Lightly grease an angel food cake pan and set aside. In a large mixing bowl, stir eggs, oil, and sugar. In a separate bowl, sift salt, soda, and flour and add to egg mixture. Stir in vanilla, nuts, and apples and pour all into the prepared pan. Bake 1 hour and 15 minutes. When cake is done let cool 15 minutes, loosen in pan while still warm and add topping. Let cool. Here is the topping recipe: TOPPING: 1 cup brown sugar 1 /2 cup butter 1 /4 milk 1 /2 cup pecans Boil the brown sugar, butter and milk over medium heat for 2 1/2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in pecan. Spoon topping over the cake.

UVMC mental health professionals ready 24-7 behavioral health services to the Behavioral Health Center. The Tri-County mobile team can be called to support the Behavioral Team in the ED, if needed. “It makes sense that we would be in the emergency room,” Schultz said of the behavioral health team. The community was fortunate to have a separate location to serve behavioral health crisis for years, but changes in providing emergency health care for the community are forming more of an integrated system to serve those patients, she said. The ED staff is no stranger to behavioral health patients who they treated for any medical issues when patients came to the ED by squad or private vehicle and then were transported to the behavioral inpatient health unit, if needed.

As part of the transition, two “safe rooms” equipped according to state requirements were added in the ED for those who arrive with an initial complaint of a behavioral health nature. “We have a team approach from the nursing staff and the physicians where we all communicate effectively for the best care for the patient,” Schultz said. “This way the patient is getting good, quality care by having all services efficiently in the same setting.” The behavioral health team members also will support ED staff needs, if there are no patients with mental health issues to be addressed. Team members can assist by supporting family members if

TROY — Behavioral health professionals stationed 24-7 in the Upper Valley Medical Center Emergency Department are working to ensure those with mental health needs are handled appropriately and efficiently. The transition of behavioral health assessments at UVMC from the former Crisis Center on campus to the Emergency Department (ED) began this summer and has gone smoothly, said Mindy Schultz, LISW-S, manager of Behavioral Health Emergency and Admissions. The change was sparked by the Tri-County Board of Recovery and Mental Health Services’ decision to redirect dollars previously used to contract with UVMC for Cri-
sis Center and 24-Hour Hotline services. Those services now are handled by the Miami County Recovery Council using a 24hour Crisis Hotline and a mobile crisis team to respond to mental health calls from local law enforcement facilities, jails and Emergency Departments. UVMC continues to provide behavioral heath inpatient services and admissions by a team of behavioral health therapists and technicians. The team members who now are based in the ED serve as a “gatekeeper” for those who come to the ED in need of behavioral health related services. The Behavioral Health Emergency and Admissions team also screens patients on the inpatient units and works to admit anyone needing inpatient

One killed, 3 injured in chopper crash Pilot taking off from NYC when aircraft went down BY DEEPTI HAJELA Associated Press NEW YORK — A helicopter with five people aboard crashed into the East River on Tuesday afternoon after taking off from a launch pad on the riverbank, killing one passenger and injuring three others. New York Police Department divers pulled the victim, a woman, from about 50 feet of water about an hour after the Bell 206 helicopter went down around 3 p.m. She was pronounced dead at the scene. Emergency crews arrived to find the chopper inverted in the murky water with just its skids showing on the surface. The pilot, Paul Dudley, and three passengers were bobbing in the chilly water, and it looked as though a

reported it was sputtering and appeared to be in some type of mechanical distress. Joseph Belez was watching helicopters from a boardwalk. “It was going up, and then all of a sudden it just spun itself and went down to the water,” he said. “I was just watching it take off, and it was just all of a sudden spinning. It just went down. It was a shock. It really was.” A massive rescue effort was under way within minutes of the crash, with a dozen boats and divers down into the cold, grey water searching for the fifth passenger. Britain’s Foreign Office said it was investigating reports the passengers were British. Joy Garnett and her husband were on the dock waiting to take the East River ferry to Brooklyn when they heard the blades of a helicopter and saw it start to take off from the nearby helipad. She said she saw it do “a funny curlicue.”
Knox back home after 4-year ordeal Ohio drug dealers tap seniors for pills COLUMBUS (AP) — Drug dealers around Ohio are developing new sources for prescription painkillers by buying them from senior citizens, sometimes as the patients leave pharmacies, according to a new state report that shows prescription Ohio’s painkiller epidemic is continuing and in some cases may be getting worse. The report being released this week by the Ohio Substance Abuse Monitoring Network also blames an increase in heroin use on addicts switching from prescription painkillers, which are more expensive and harder to obtain. “Once people get to a certain point in their addiction and they can no
longer afford to purchase opiates, prescription they almost invariably move to heroin,” said Orman Hall, director of the Ohio Department of Alcohol and Drug Addiction Services. “The vast majority of people who are using heroin were previously addicted to opiates.” The monitoring network typically releases its findings about every six months relying on data provided by everyone from substance abuse counselors to addicts in recovery. The network cites reports from Dayton, Youngstown and Toledo of drug dealers buying painkillers from seniors who often need the money to make ends meet.
Vote seen on ‘heartbeat bill’ COLUMBUS (AP) — The Ohio Senate’s Republican leader says he’s asking a group of state lawmakers to review legal questions related to a bill that would ban abortions at the first detectable fetal heartbeat. President Tom Niehaus (NEE’-hows) said Tuesday he wants the group to vet any legal issues and report
back to him in November. The measure called the “heartbeat bill” passed the Ohio House in June, but has stalled in the Senate. Ohio Right to Life has taken issue with the bill, fearing a legal challenge could jeopardize other abortion limits in Ohio and expand access to legal abortions.

picture of Knox crying after the verdict was read appeared on the front pages of newspapers in Italy, the U.S., Britain and around the world. After arriving at the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, Knox sobbed at the news conference and held her mother’s hand as her lawyer Theodore Simon said her acquittal “unmistakably announced to the world” that she was not responsible for the killing of Meredith Kercher. After her parents offered their thanks to Knox’s lawyers and supporters, Knox spoke briefly, saying, “They’re reminding me to speak in English, because I’m having problems with that.” “Thank you to everyone who’s believed in me, who has defended me, who has supported my family,” she said. “My family’s the most important thing to me so I just want to be with them.”

SEATTLE (AP) — Amanda Knox returned to her hometown of Seattle on Tuesday and was as overcome with emotion as she was a day earlier in Italy, when she was acquitted on murder charges after four years in prison. “Thank you for being there for me,” she tearfully told her supporters in front of a crowd of reporters from two continents. really over“I’m whelmed right now,” she said at a news conference minutes after she was escorted off a British Airways (NYSE:BAB) flight out of London. “I was looking down from the airplane, and it seemed like everything wasn’t real.” Knox’s life turned around dramatically Monday when an Italian appeals court threw out her conviction in the sexual assault and fatal stabbing of her British roommate.

HOROSCOPE Wednesday, Oct. 5, 2011 Certain groups or individuals who have never been lucky for you previously might prove to be so in coming months, in more ways than one. Treat everyone with consideration, because you never know who will be doing you a favor. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — If you haven’t been getting the exercise you know you need, take a little time to do so. You don’t have to do anything exhausting; merely walking the dog could help a lot. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Timing is always important, so you should pace yourself well when it comes to handling matters that depend upon the work of others. Only then can you bring all your forces into play. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — You’ll operate best when you’re able to just coast along, until you’re required to bring the full brunt of your imagination and ingenuity to bear. Timing can be everything. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — If you’re splitting responsibilities with your spouse, make sure you get finances on your side of the ledger. Your ideas on getting fiscal are likely to be much more resourceful and clever. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — There could be a mystique about you that will fascinate almost everyone you deal with. This appeal makes it easier to gain the acceptance of others. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — Although it was never your intention to make others feel indebted to you, someone you recently did a favor for wants to reciprocate your kindness. Be a gracious receiver. ARIES (March 21-April 19) — You’re full of bright ideas to begin with, but you might have far more than usual. Unless you jot them down the moment you conceive them, they’ll vanish into the ether. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — The only way you are likely to get anything done is to zero in on your objectives. If you don’t, your head could wander all over the place, causing you to easily get sidetracked. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — Your ability to absorb and retain new knowledge is remarkable, especially if you’re passing it on to those who need it but don’t have the means to get it. CANCER (June 21-July 22) — For good reason, people trust you and feel that it’s safe to tell you things that they wouldn’t tell others. This should make you proud, and inspire you to live up to their estimation of you. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Instead of seeing only the faults or weaknesses in the ideas of others, look for what is good and praiseworthy. You’ll be amazed at how fast you’ll gain others’ support when you do so. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — The secret of gaining a few strides on your rivals is to put their needs on par with your own requirements. When you look for solutions for others, you’ll find your own.

Kandis Sargeant hits a backhand return Tuesday.
TROY — Lehman’s undefeated doubles team of Kandis Sargeant and Nicole Larger didn’t mind a stress-free day on the courts Tuesday at the Troy Division II sectional tournament. The Lady Cavs Meghan Bennett was up to every challenge thrown at her. And as a result, they will all be playing in the district tournament next Thursday at the ATP Tennis Center in Mason. And Julia Harrelson and MacKenzie Brown in singles and the doubles team of Victoria King and Kerrie Josefovsky all had good showings as well. “Everybody played really well,” Lehman coach Pippy Booth said. The Larger-Sargeant duo upped their record to 22-0 on the season, while dropping just one game in advancing to Friday’s semifinals. After a first-round bye, they defeated a doubles team from Greenville 6-0, 6-1 and followed that with a 6-0, 6-0 win over a

It can be tough (to focus). There were a few times I had to reel myself back in to the
match.” Larger, like Sargeant, understands there are bigger matches ahead for the top seeds. “We had fun today, but there were some good point,” she said. “We know we are going to have some tougher matcher Friday.” Which will lead to the See TENNIS/Page 16

Big Game Continued from page 13 loss to Trotwood and find themselves in a mustwin situation — something they haven’t done since 2006. “We definitely don’t want to finish without beating Troy, that’s for sure,” receiver Trae Honeycutt said. “I don’t want to be 0-3 against them.” Tight end/defensive end Jordan Feeser said you could go as far as to say Piqua’s season is at stake. “If we can beat Troy, that would definitely be big with (getting to) the playoffs,” he said. “It would get us a lot of points. We know we have to win — and the seniors don’t want to be 0-3 against Troy.” Honeycutt knew all about the game before he ever put on a Piqua uniform. “I went to the games (Piqua-Troy) when I was a kid,” he said. “I saw how big a game it was. There is a lot more hype around this game, but you just have to stay focused on the game.” Piqua coach Bill Nees said the game continues to get bigger, with it becoming part of the Army’s rivalry series and players from both schools being honored before the game. “The rivalry series is a pretty big deal,” he said. “We are on the big poster they put out with the high school rivalry games and that has just added to it. It is something most high school players never get to experience.” There are events in both cities going on throughout the week leading up to the game. “It really is something special,” Travis Nees said. “It is great to be part of something like this.” With his dad being Piqua’s football coach,
Pep Rally: The pep rally and parade will be held Thursday. All groups matching in the parade meet behind Liberty Tax at 7:30 p.m. The parade will turn left on Main Street and end at the gazebo. The parade begins at 7:45 p.m. and will last approximately 15 minutes, with the pep rally scheduled from 8-8:30 p.m. Travis Nees has been familiar with the game and the week for a long time. In fact he has envisioned all his final game against Troy will play out. “We are coming off a tough loss and it is definitely a game we need to win,” he said. “We have got to end that (losing) streak against Troy. “I always dreamed that my senior year would be the biggest game. Here we are and it is.” Nees and his teammates are all too familiar with the price to pay for the outcome not being a good one. “This is definitely for the bragging rights of the Miami County,” he said. “You hear about it all the time if you don’t win.” Not to mention, the trophy the winner now keeps for a year when they win. Piqua presented it to Troy in 2008 (the initial year) and hasn’t gotten it back since. “That’s just anothe reason for this being a big game,” Feeser said. “I don’t think we have every won the trophy and we want to
do that.” Bill Nees said the key is staying focused through all the hype. “There is a lot of stuff going in,” he said. “The important thing is staying focused on the big issue — the game Friday night.” Feeser said that is not a problem for him. “I appreciate the fact I get to experience something like this — something other high school football players don’t,” he said. “There are a lot of things going on this week and a lot of talk at the school — but I just focus out on that, because I don’t want to get psyched out.” Travis Nees said when he takes the field for a Troy — the atmosphere is a little different. “I think you are a little more excited — a little more jittery than normal,” he said. Feeser agreed. “That’s when I know it is the Troy game,” he said. “The feeling I get when I take the field.” It is a feeling most players can only dream of.

St. Louis’ Albert Pujols hits a double against Philadelphia Tuesday.
Manuel guesses right LaRussa just gets second-guessed in loss to Phillies ST. LOUIS (AP) — Charlie Manuel guessed right, twice. Tony La Russa, well, he wound up getting secondguessed. And on his 67th birthday. Pinch-hitter Ben Francisco and closer Ryan Madson made their manager's moves look smart, and the Philadelphia Phillies held off the St. Louis Cardinals 3-2 Tuesday for a 2-1 lead in their NL playoff series. "To steal a game here, if worse comes to worst, we come back home and we've got another game with Doc (Halladay) on the mound," Phillies slugger Ryan Howard said. "We put ourselves in a great situation." Francisco batted for Cole Hamels and broke open a scoreless game with a two-out, three-run homer off Jaime Garcia in the seventh inning. The Cardinals stuck with Garcia instead of opting for a pinch-hitter with two on and two outs in the sixth. Garcia struck out, then lost his pitching touch. "Well, it didn't work, so that's bad managing," La Russa said. "I'm watching him pitch and was really pleased. I thought he was the guy to continue pitching and I knew the matchups were in our favor. ... It didn't work." Madson earned his first multi-inning save of the year. He got Allen Craig to ground sharply into a double play with the bases loaded to escape in the eighth, then worked around Yadier Molina's RBI single in the ninth. Manuel's reasoning: "I figured the game was on the line, and we had to stop them." The Phillies, favored to win it all after a franchiserecord 102-win season, can finish off the wild-card Cardinals in Game 4 on Wednesday, with Roy Oswalt opposing Edwin Jackson. The Cardinals are all too familiar with the winor-else proposition. They won the NL wild card on

the final day of the season, erasing a 10½-game deficit on Aug. 25 to overtake the Braves. "Listen, we flip the page and come back ready to play with the same energy we've been having the last six weeks," said Albert Pujols, who had four hits. "We've been in this situation before." Francisco's shot on a 1-0 fastball from Garcia was only his second hit in 19 postseason at-bats. He hit six homers this season, the last on May 25 against the Reds. Francisco had been preparing for that moment against a lefty, and Manuel said after the game that he might have stuck with Francisco even if the Cardinals had changed pitchers. "I didn't know it was a homer, I knew I hit it good," Francisco said. "I saw it bounce over the fence and just pure excitement, pure joy." Hamels struck out eight in six scoreless innings and reversed a disturbing trend after allowing nine homers in September, with a pair of doubles by Pujols the only extra-base hits. He's a franchise-best 7-4 in the postseason with a 3.09 ERA. "You don't want to make mistakes, you don't want to leave the ball over the plate," Hamels said. "Every pitch mattered, every inning mattered. I

knew I couldn't let it get out of hand." The Cardinals frustrated a season-high crowd of 46,914 by stranding 14 runners. They set a National League record with 169 double-play balls this season. "Sometimes you're going to get a bunch of hits, sometimes you're going to get no hits with men on base," Pujols said. "I don't think Allen hit a ball that hard all season like he did with the bases loaded." Ryan Theriot also had four hits for St. Louis, a heavy underdog in this series. The Cardinals had runners in scoring position in six innings but came up empty despite three hits in the eighth, including a pinch-hit single by Matt Holliday in only his second appearance of the series. The Cardinals' decision to let Garcia bat with two on and two outs in the sixth backfired in a big way. Garcia struck out on Hamels' 117th pitch and wasn't the same in the seventh. The Phillies, held to three hits to that point, doubled that total in the seventh. Shane Victorino led off with a single and moved up on a passed ball before Carlos Ruiz was intentionally walked with two outs. Francisco, who had been 1 for 9 against Garcia, deposited a 1-0
fastball in the visitors' bullpen in left-center. Francisco was clutch at the end of the year, getting seven hits in his last 20 at-bats with runners in scoring position. Lefty vs. lefty percentages, even against Howard, allowed Garcia to elude trouble until the seventh. Chase Utley singled with two outs in the sixth, breaking a string of nine straight batters retired by Garcia, and went to second on a wild pitch on an 0-1 delivery to Hunter Pence. The Cardinals elected for an intentional walk at that point, and the move paid off when Howard, who is 2 for 15 with a homer and an RBI against Garcia counting the playoffs, tapped out weakly to first. Garcia was at only 74 pitches through six, but needed 26 more in the seventh. Hamels was up to the task as well, striking out David Freese with two runners on to end the first. The 2008 World Series MVP also got Garcia on a groundout with two on to end the fourth. NOTES: Phillies leadoff man Jimmy Rollins had two hits and is 7 for 12 (.583) in the series. ... Garcia threw first-pitch strikes to his first 10 hitters. ... The Cardinals stole three bases in the first four innings. They totaled 57 in the regular season, second-lowest in the majors. ... Placido Polanco singled in the ninth, ending an 0-for-29 slump against St. Louis in the postseason. He was 0 for 17 with Detroit in the 2006 World Series. ... Counting the postseason, Theriot is 10 for 24 against Hamels. ... Pujols and Theriot became the 11th and 12th Cardinals to get four hits in a postseason game. ... The Phillies have five pinchhit homers in the postseason, the last by Matt Stairs on Oct. 13, 2008, in the NLCS at Los Angeles.
COLUMBUS (AP) — These are dark times for the Ohio State football program. On the heels of an ugly 10-7 loss at home to Michigan State, the Buckeyes are grasping for solutions while battling a tsunami of problems off the field, stemming from a series of NCAA violations involving several players. And now the Buckeyes (3-2) get to travel to Lincoln, Neb., for the 14thranked Cornhuskers' first Big Ten home game. Clearly, it doesn't get any easier. Interim coach Luke Fickell has heard the rumblings. Callers to talk shows and fans online are all questioning the coaching staff, the players, the athletic director and the direction of the program in the wake of two more suspensions announced on Monday. "We all don't like where we are (in terms of record)," Fickell said Tuesday at his weekly news conference. "We all know there's ways we need to get better. Criticism I handle a lot better than I do praise. “It just makes me mad, it makes me work harder, it makes me do things a little bit more. But you can't let it affect you. You've got to continue to get better." Fickell, who replaced Jim Tressel who was forced out of the job in the midst of an NCAA probe into his lying about possible violations, is trying to regroup his troops. At a meeting with the players after the latest suspensions were announced on Monday, many walked away with their heads down. After Saturday's loss, center Mike Brewster called the defeat one of the most painful of his career. Thirty of the offense's 63 plays went for no gain or a loss. "It's just frustration that you can't get anything going," he said of Michigan State's plan to stack the line of scrimmage with defenders to shut down the run and dare Ohio State to pass. "I felt like there were guys everywhere in the box, which was frustrating. We've got to find out a way to get it done." Fickell said there is no alternative to trying to turn things around. "We just have to do a better job of figuring out what our guys can do and what our guys can handle. And we will," he said of criticism of offensive coordinator Jim Bollman and the rest of his staff. "There's going to be grow-
ing pains. It's nothing that a good offensive performance or a good win won't make up for. “But if we sit and worry about all the people that criticize us, boy, we'd stay up late at night worrying about that instead of actually doing what we need to do. We can't let that affect us." This was supposed to be the week that the Buckeyes got a boost from four players returning from suspension. But athletic director Gene Smith, at a news conference on Monday, announced that last year's leading rusher, Daniel Herron, and the team's leading returning receiver, DeVier Posey, would still be held out. Before, the reason was accepting cash and free ink from a local tattooparlor owner. The latest revelation was that both had been overpaid for summer jobs from a Cleveland-area booster who has been banned from contact with the program. So the Buckeyes are in a state of flux. It's an old one-liner that has never been more apropos: You truly can't tell the players at Ohio State without a scorecard. Two players — left tackle Mike Adams and defensive end Solomon Thomas — are returning for Nebraska after serving five-game suspensions for involvement in Tattoogate. Fickell said Tuesday that starting defensive tackle Nathan Williams is still not ready to play after undergoing arthroscopic knee surgery four weeks ago. He also said that starting wideout Verlon Reed sustained a torn knee ligament on an onside kick in the waning seconds of the Michigan State loss and would be out for the rest of the season. But he remained hopeful that wide receiver Corey "Philly" Brown might be able to come back after missing the last four games with a highankle sprain. Fickell said he emphasized to the team the late UCLA coach John Wooden's three points of wisdom: Don't whine, don't complain and don't make excuses. "How many times have we said, we are going to focus on what we have, not what we don't have and focus on moving forward," he said. "So that's what we have to do. “We are not going to make excuses for guys. We are not going to allow them to be down."

Tennis Continued from page 13 trict match. Borgerding can best be described as a human ball return on the tennis court, attempting to wear opponents down by consistently returning the ball to the middle of the court. “Very difficult to face,” Booth said about Borgerding’s style. “What tends to happen is you start to play their game and their style.” And while Bennett may have had that happen a few times, she was big on the clutch points, outlasting Borgerding 6-4, 6-3. “This is the match I lost then,” Bennett said, referring to two years ago when she missed going to district in singles by one match. “I was able to win today.” The first key moment came late in the first set. After Borgerding had a break to get within 5-4, Bennett finished off the set. “That was huge,” Bennett said. “Especially playing a girl who plays that style. Hats off to her. She is very good at what she does.” In the second set, Bennett was leading 3-2 when Borgerding asked for a line judge. That seemed to fuel the Lehman senior’s fire, winning the next two games at love and holding serve at 5-3 to finish off the match. “I think Meghan (Bennett) did a great job of keeping her composure and handling everything,” Booth said. Bennett became more aggressive over the final four games of the match.
“When something like that happens, you just have to remember to play your match and you style — not their’s and that’s what I did.” She knows she has a big challenge Saturday, starting with second seed Kenzie Detrick in the semifinals. “Having done what I did today, if I just go out and play well Saturday, I will be happy, regardless of the outcome,” Bennett said. ■ Harrelson and KingJosefovsky both came within one match of qualifying for district. Harrelson, a sophomore, reeled off three wins and had a 3-0 lead on Detrick before losing 6-3, 6-1. “Julia (Harrelson) had a great day,” Booth said. “She is not healthy. She has a leg injury and she scraped her knee in a match yesterday and again today.” King and Josefovsky, both seniors, didn’t drop a set until they ran into Fetters and Finfrock in the quarterfinals. “I was thrilled to see them win two matches,” Booth said. “They really played well.” ■ Brown, also a senior, won one match before running losing to Lauren Davy of Northeastern. “She (Lauren Davy) is the fourth seed,” Booth said. “MacKenzie (Brown) just ran into a very good player.” Semifinals are at 9 a.m. Friday, with the finals and third-place matches to follow — and Bennett and Sargeant-Larger will be ready for the challenge.

ultimate goal — of getting to state. “We know (from last year) how important being a number one seed (at district) is,” Sargeant said, referring to being upset in the sectional finals. “It is important for us to win on Friday.” Larger agreed. “Getting to state is definitely the goal,” she said. “It was our goal last year and we didn’t quite get there. We know how important being a number one seed is.” Looming on Friday is the possibility of a matchup with the two seeds, Andrea Fetters and Jessie Finfrock of Milton. Fetters was part of the doubles team that upset Lehman in the sectional finals last year. “That would be a very good match if it happens,” Booth said. “These girls (Kandis Sargeant, Nicole Larger) have beaten them, but anything can happen.” ■ Bennett has now pulled the “District Double” of sorts. After advancing to district in doubles with Morgan Shroyer last year, Bennett is going in singles this year after three wins Tuesday. “To be honest, I enjoy both,” Bennett said. “I had a blast playing doubles with Morgan (Shroyer) last year, but I also enjoy playing singles as well.” After relatively easy wins over Kayla Pena (Urbana) and Shelby Shope (Dixie) by matching 6-0, 61 scores, Bennett, the third seed, faced unseeded Michelle Borgerding of Greenville in the go-to dis-
