And no matter if he is short on breath, tired and sore or the soles of his feet hurt, Malone not only finds inspiration in his son Clayton, who was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes three years ago, but
also knows the reason he is running is for a great cause. In both marathons, Malone will be running in an effort to help raise funds for diabetes research for the Chicago Diabetes Project at the University of Illinois. Each marathon is 26.2 miles long.

Two persons were transported to Upper Valley Medical Center for treatment by the Covington Rescue Squad following a three-vehicle crash at the intersection of High and Bridge streets in Covington on Thursday afternoon. The crash occurred around 1:30 p.m. None of the injuries appeared to be lifethreatening. Covington Police are investigating the crash.
Diabetes Continued from page 1 started walking for exercise during Lent, and as each month went by he would test himself. At first, he would run a quartermile just to see if he could do. After awhile, Malone would run more than he would walk and eventually he began running his entire exercise route. Now, Malone just runs and has competed in a wide variety of various running events — from 5ks to half marathons and full marathons. The money raised through Malone’s marathons will go toward Cellmates on the Run, which is a fundraising effort that focuses on transplanting islet cells from a donor into the liver of a person with diabetes. His youngest son Clayton, 13, a student at Piqua Catholic, was diagnosed in October of 2008.

sations, a feather and bristles brushed across exposed skin on his arms, legs, neck and head. Stoler, traveling from a nearby nursing home, comes to the center three times a week for an average of two hours that is split between the rehab area and neurofeedback classes with Christine Cavender, with one day a week including a medical massage. Howell attends every visit, the mother/son team have been doing so for nearly five years as part of a journey that began when Stoler failed to clear a large jump while on his dirt bike. “Didn’t do a thing to the helmet,” Howell said in regards to what resulted in
the shaking of his brain. “He’s so far from that now,” Howell continued on her son’s amazing progress since coming to the HahnHufford Center where they discovered he could still read and do math. “He didn’t have to re-learn it, it was all still there.” Stoler’s personality is still the same, too, Howell said and that his two children ages 9 and 12 take an active part in their father’s life, including his therapy at the center. “It’s been quite an experience,” Howell said on a journey that began with 10 steps backward for every step forward but that Stoler has been stable the last few years. “I wish you could see a picture of him six years ago compared to
where he is today.” One major step forward has been Stoler’s ability to verbally communicate for nearly a year and a half now. “That was a major break-through for him,” said Howell who already knew of the Center before her son’s accident and said that once she got her head together knew to bring him to Hahn-Hufford. “I know that if it wasn’t for this place I wouldn’t have Chris at all,” said Howell, who has lost a child before. An experience that not only changed her outlook on life but kept her tenacious about her son’s future, especially in thanks to the center. “It was the best thing for him to come out here.”
Common Pleas Court in Wapakoneta consenting to his removal from office pending the outcome of a felony sexual battery case filed against him in that county. Kimpel was indicted by an Auglaize County grand jury on Sept. 20 on a felony sexual battery charge for allegedly having sex with former Deputy Jodi Van Fossen when she was intoxicated and unable to give consent. The sexual battery charge is a thirddegree felony, which led to the suspension. Kimpel was arrested on the sexual battery charges on Sept. 21 and taken to
the Auglaize County Jail, where a bond of $100,000 was set and Kimpel was released after posting 10 percent of that amount or $10,000. If convicted, the sexual battery charge is punishable by up to five years in prison and/or $10,000 fine. Kimpel was indicted last week by a Shelby County grand jury on five counts of unauthorized use of the Ohio Law Enforcement Gateway (OHLEG) program used by law enforcement for background checks. He allegedly used the system to run checks on people for personal reasons, not associated with his law
enforcement duties. Kimpel appeared for arraignment Wednesday on the OHLEG charges and entered a not guilty plea. He was released on an own recognizance bond. If Kimpel is convicted, he faces up to 12 months in jail on each charge. Under the suspension order, Kimpel is suspended until he “enters a plea of guilty to or is found guilty of the felony with which he is charged.” The order states that Kimpel will retain the title of Shelby County sheriff until his case is completed and he will continue to be paid while on suspension.

The group was massaging and flexing Stoler’s fingers, putting the digits through a range of motions to keep them from becoming stiff and losing what he’s gained through his years of therapy. “We call it push, pull, twist, twist,” said Small on the massage being given to Stoler’s fingers. “It kind of releases the fingers and gets them ready, so they don’t tighten up even more.” This preparation helped in a bar exercise where he was able to pull himself up.

to drive from 1968 to 1973. He enjoyed what he classified as a “semi-successful” career. Dale also was a successful race car owner, having owned three different cars and winning eight track championships. He sponsored and owned race cars over a span of 40 years. Dale took up driving again at the age of 51, but soon discovered that you lose all your reflexes as you get older. To quote Dale, “Auto racing is contagious once you’ve driven behind the wheel.” Some may not have been aware of his entrepreneurial endeavors owning several businesses (i.e. Little Pro Miniature Golf courses) and being a promotional manager for the Cincinnati Reds baseball and Cincinnati Bengals football teams in their off season, as well as, promoting the Harlem Globetrotter’s community fundraising events. He always liked sports in general, especially Cincinnati Reds baseball, participating in baseball and softball (Piqua Merchants) most of his adult life. Dale had the privilege of meeting many of the ballplayers he grew up watching and reading about. Two things Dale never got to do that were on his “bucket list” were learning to skydive and learning to fly a plane. He loved to travel all over the United States with his family including, cruises to his favorite places such as Alaska, the Bahamas and Hawaii. Funeral services will be held at 11 a.m. Tuesday at Covington Church of the Brethren with the Rev. Michael Yingst officiating. This is the church where Dale grew up and had begun his walk with his Lord. Burial will follow in Highland Cemetery, Covington. Friends may call from 68 p.m. Monday at Melcher-Sowers Funeral Home, Piqua.

■ Piqua Catholic School Happenings
School celebrates silver anniversary PIQUA — Celebration will be in abundance at Piqua Catholic School this year as it commemorates its silver anniversary. Piqua Catholic teachers are proud of the school’s rich tradition and its emphasis on a values-added education. To underscore the significance of this milestone in excellence they have been busy organizing and planning events and classroom instructions for the year-long celebration. • This quarter’s theme is “Fitness and Manners.” Thanks to thirdgrade teacher Monica Sowards, all students have a brochure to guide them through proper etiquette such as table manners, flag handling, behavior, and email protocols. Each teacher is adding individual classroom activities to emphasize the lessons of life. • A life lesson important to Piqua Catholic School is doing for others. A big thank you goes out to junior high students Tanner McKinney, Colton Bachman, Tyler Scott, Ian Smith, Stephen Monnin, Jared Brandt, and Bradley Holbein for their volunteer work setting up and tearing down of the JVS for the Religious Mini Congress. Your time and energy are examples to model. • Thank you to the committed volunteers who organized the eleventh annual Dollars for Scholars Luncheon that concluded this week. Supporters enjoyed friendship, camaraderie

A reverse raffle was held each week and the big winner walked away with one thousand dollars. The biggest winner, however, is Piqua Catholic School and its students. • Out-of-theclassroom learning experiences are always popular with students and teachers. Kindergarten and first grade students traveled to Brumbaugh Fruit and Fun Farm in Arcanum. There they learned about the importance of bees, picked apples, and visited the pumpkin patch. The special fall excursion allows students to enjoy a farm experience with activities that are entertaining and educational. • Seventh-graders are preparing for their “Sleeping with the Manatees” overnight trip at the Cincinnati Zoo. In preparation for this field trip the students are completing a unit on endangered species. While at the zoo students will be researching the endangered species that live at the zoo in order to gather information for a
project they will complete upon returning to the classroom. • Covering math books has become a project on tessellations in eighth grade math class. After studying tessellation and the art of M.C. Escher, students were introduced to the art making tessellations. Each student created a unique design that will be used to make a book cover. • Girls in grades four through six are joining hands in prayer and service as part of Handmaids of our Lady. The after-school group is designed to teach students about the Blessed Virgin Mary through stories, games, activities and engaging projects. Organized by dedicated volunteer Ruth Chestnut, all girls in in fourth, fifth and sixth grade are encouraged to participate. The group meets twice a month. • Piqua Catholic “Top Chefs” want you to save the date for a night of no cooking or cleanup. Teachers and volunteers are hosting the first annual “Family Sit-Down, Home-Style Dinner” on Nov. 5. The cafeteria at the North Street Campus will be turned into a café diner for the evening of fellowship and food. The menu features pot roast, baked chicken, mashed potatoes, corn and dinner rolls. Four seating times are available. For reservations or more information call the school at 773-1564. All proceeds benefit the tuition assistance program.

Students organize the clothing and learn a few small business skills along the way. The CBI program prefers the donations come from teachers so that each item donated can be ready for use. Teachers in the building, who notice a student with a need, contact the CBI Instructors to set up a discreet time for that student to visit “Indian Outfitters.”

For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life. Galatians 6:8 (ESV)
allmark has introduced a line of greeting cards to send to unemployed friends and neighbors. It has to be the feel-good idea of the year. Who wouldn’t feel cheered up after getting something like this: “We heard you lost your job, It is a crying shame. It bothers me you’re out of work Instead of those to blame.” Let’s give Hallmark points for thinking outside the box. But there are plenty of other categories of cards that people, even unemployed people, might like to buy and send. Where is Hallmark’s line of “Why Aren’t the Bankers and Stockbrokers Who Caused This in Jail” cards? A series of “Let’s Rebuild America, Not Iraq” cards would be a sure best-seller. What about some cards we could send to the now-called “job creators”? “You fired all your workers And gave yourself a raise, You took extra-long vacations While they worked holidays. I hope you get a tax break And get spared a world of hurt, Because only you, and you alone, Ran the biz into the deep, deep dirt.” JIM MULLEN Had you ever heard the phrase “job creators” Columnist before this year? Who are these job creators? Are they big corporations like Bank of America, which just announced plans to lay off 30,000 people? If that’s creating jobs, I wish it would stop. Maybe if we had lowered Bank of America’s taxes, it could have given out even more upside-down mortgages. Or do the pundits mean Borders bookstores when they talk about job creators? Borders’ bankruptcy lost us only 11,000 jobs, and the company owes book publishers tens of millions of dollars. Do I smell a tax break coming for Borders? Would it be able to create minus 11,000 more jobs? Merck is cutting 13,000 jobs after merging with Schering-Plough. Merck had the $41 billion to buy Schering, but not enough to keep 13,000 workers. The company is, however, hiring in Brazil and China. Thank goodness most congresspeople want to reward Merck and similar companies for being job creators. It’s a well-repeated phrase that “the government never created a job,” so those 36,000 employees the Post Office wants to drop don’t matter; they weren’t jobs in the first place. Those jobs never existed, so they won’t be missed. They weren’t “created.” I’m starting to hear on the news that it’s the small mom-and-pop enterprises that create all the new jobs. If you’ve ever lent money to a friend or a relative who wanted to start a small business, let me ask you, how did that turn out? Did you ever get your money back? For every cupcake business that creates a job, how many never get off the ground? One hundred? Two hundred? There’s another theory out there, one you never hear on the news, that it is you and I who create jobs by spending money on cars, iPads, food, college tuition, wedding dresses — whatever. This theory says that opening a barbershop doesn’t create jobs; getting a haircut creates jobs. It is not the baseball team owners who create jobs, but the fans who go to the games and watch the games on TV who create jobs. It is not Wal-Mart but the people who shop there who create jobs — not only for Wal-Mart, but also for the companies that make everything Wal-Mart sells. This theory says that it is not Hallmark that creates jobs, but the people who buy its cards. This theory says that we, the consumers, are the job creators. If anyone should get a tax break, it’s us. Why isn’t our lobbyist out there twisting the arms of congresspeople for us? Oh, yeah, I forgot. We don’t have any lobbyists. We can’t afford them. But the job creators can. As a matter of fact, that is one of the few high-paying jobs giant corporations really have created — lobbyists. And the good news is, they are hiring more of them.

With Christie, Palin out, Romney on move BY CHARLES BABINGTON
popularity unchanged at 25 percent. Perry dropped to 16 percent from a previous survey, tied with Cain, a former pizza company executive who has surged lately. Few campaign veterans think Cain, who has never held elected office, can win the nomination. But his rise, similar to the one once made by Rep. Michele Bachmann, signals that many GOP activists still prefer someone more aggressively conservative than the measured Romney, who ran in 2008 and has long been seen as the party’s establishment candidate. Cain “is starting to pick up steam, more so than I’m hearing for Perry,” said Glenn McCall, Republican chairman in York County, S.C. The South Carolina primary will follow the Iowa and New Hampshire contests. “Every day I’m getting calls from people wanting to know when he’s coming, or how to sign up for his campaign,” McCall said. Brendan Steinhauser of FreedomWorks, a group linked to the tea party movement, said Cain’s rise “shows the opening for a conservative is still there.” Either Cain or Perry “will likely emerge as the conservative, anti-establishment alternative to Mitt Romney,” he said. “The final goal is beating Barack Obama with the most conservative candidate that can win.” Romney’s supporters say he has the best chance of ousting Obama. They point to Perry’s debate problems, and to questions about the racist name of a Texas hunting camp Perry has used, as typical of the surprises that bring fast-soaring contenders back to earth. Yet Romney has long struggled to win GOP voters’ enthusiasm. “Nobody wants to put a candidate forward just because they happen to be the most electable,” said veteran campaign consultant Terry Nelson. Voters want someone “who has the kind of vision and solutions they think might work,” he said, and Romney’s team is “trying to put forward that vision.” Perry showed his impressive fundraising Wednesday, when his campaign reported raising more than $17 million in his first seven weeks as a candidate. For the quarter that just ended, Romney was expected to raise less than the $18 million he brought in during his first three-month fundraising period. Paul, the libertarianleaning Texas congressman, said he raised about $8 million.
WASHINGTON (AP) — With the Chris Christie and Sarah Palin teases over, Mitt Romney is telling Republican activists there’s all the more reason to get excited about his presidential campaign. They will keep him waiting a bit longer, it seems. A handful of major GOP donors jumped into Romney’s camp this week after Christie, the New Jersey governor, ruled out a candidacy. Late Wednesday, Palin, the former Alaska governor and 2008 vice presidential nominee, also made official that she will not run. But many party activists still appear restless, casting about for a conservative alternative and wondering if Texas Gov. Rick Perry can fill the role despite his shaky debate performances. With caucus and primary voting to start in about three months, Christie’s announcement brought the presidential race into sharper focus. Republicans say the eventual nominee almost surely will come from the current field. And President Barack Obama, whose liberal base is grumpy, is trying to distinguish himself more sharply from Republicans in Congress and in the presidential contest, sometimes calling them out by name. Polls show that Romney, the former Massachusetts governor, attracts about one-fourth of prospective GOP voters, with the rest looking to Perry, Herman Cain, Ron Paul and others. Romney’s backers praise his consistency and stay-the-course discipline. Other party insiders, however, see a stubborn and troubling resistance to his appeal among voters likely to show up in the dead of winter for the Iowa caucus and New Hampshire primary. “The guy has been running for president for five years and hasn’t sold 75 percent of the Republicans,” said Mike McKenna, a Virginia-based GOP lobbyist and strategist. Perry remains the likeliest threat to Romney’s nomination, McKenna said, but he can’t afford more appearances where he mangles his criticism of Romney’s policy flips and seems to deride people who disagree with Texas’ policy of subsidizing illegal immigrants’ college costs. “Perry had a real rocky rollout and has used up all his margin for error,” McKenna said. “He needs to be spot-on from now on.” Most troubling for Romney are signs that he has not gained from Perry’s stumCharles Babington covers politics for bles.

Letter to the Editor
Levy called ‘opportunity of lifetime’ To the Editor: My name is Adam Jacomet. I graduated from Piqua High School in the class of 1996. My two oldest children have attended the same elementary as I did, High Street Elementary. The school looks today, just like it did when I attended there 27 years ago — same tile floors, same bathrooms, no air conditioning, outdated florescent lighting, etc. I want the very best for my children, the best technology, the best teachers, the best schools! In today’s economy, we need to provide whatever we can, to ensure our children’s future success. We have been given a unique opportunity to build newer schools, with higher technology for our children, with the award of $25 million dollars. The state of Ohio is paying nearly half of the total cost for three new schools. We, as citizens of Piqua, need to invest in the future of our children. Many of our surrounding school districts have already taken advantage of this award, to offset the costs for new schools. If we do not
take advantage of these monies, the full amount will be offered to another school district, meaning we would then have to pay 100 percent of the cost for any new buildings. We have come so far with our school system; our graduation rate is the highest it’s ever been, we’ve been named a School of Excellence, by the State of Ohio, we’re attracting more qualified, experienced teachers, we have one of the best music programs in the state of Ohio … I could go on and on. The children are doing their part, we need to do ours, as the citizens of Piqua. If you don’t have a child in the school system, you should still want to attract more businesses, more families, more professionals to our community — which having a great school system is key to success with this endeavor. Please join me on Nov. 8 and vote “yes” for an opportunity of a lifetime; for our children and generations to come. —Adam Jacomet Piqua
To the Editor: I consider myself a fairly liberal minded conservative (a dichotomy of terms, I agree); however, occasionally I find it necessary to question those who profess to be of the liberal persuasion. Question in point: What part of the word “illegal” don’t you understand? The main stream (shout: “Liberal Left-Wing) media espouses that we are racists or perverted bigots if we’re not housing, feeding, educating, and providing free medical care for anyone that violates our borders and manages to end up on our sovereign soil. Are you kidding me? I would be the first to admit that to remove all illegals that are here would be a sisyphean task at best, but, with the economic morass that we have now, shouldn’t we take care of “legal” citizens first? What is a “Safe Haven city”? I am amazed every day watching the news at how nonchalantly the commentators refer to different states’ treatment of illegal immigrants and how the left belabors the treatment as draconian (my interpretation). I pose the question to those of the left: If I, in one of my stupors, manage to enter your domicile, at whatever time or circumstance as I have planned and you find me there, will you evict me? Should you not feed me, clothe me, house me, educate me? If you say no, I say wherein lies the difference? Under your belief, I have now become your ward. Take care of me or I may sue you. I consider myself a compassionate person. I like to think that everyone shares that compassion. I am also pragmatic and know it’s not true. As it applies to current administration policy, Margaret Thatcher said it best: “The worst thing about Socialism is that sooner or later you run out of other people’s money.” We’ve run out of everyone’s money. It’s time to take care of our own and to answer the question I asked at the beginning: illegal means “against the law.” You can’t justify it and you can’t moralize it, so accept it and get used to the fact that illegals are law breakers and should be treated as such. —Steve Wesco Covington

Teen’s mom fails Scotty McCreery takes to heed nanny’s the next two-step words of warning CHRIS TALBOTT
DEAR ABBY: My mother and “Simon,” the man I consider my father, married when I was a toddler. Simon adopted me when I was in grade school. Most people believe he’s my natural father, including my siblings. (I have no contact with or memory of my biological father.) Last month at my brother’s wedding, a guest commented to Dad about how much we look alike. Simon responded with, “Well, that would be tough.” The guest replied, “Oh, she isn’t yours?” and he said no. I was extremely hurt by his response. This has left me wondering if he feels differently about me than my sisters and brothers. Nothing has been said since, and I feel I should let it go. Should I say something to my dad or just chalk it up to a stressful day for all of us? — FEELING EXCLUDED IN OHIO
ABIGAIL VAN BUREN
Advice
DEAR FEELING EXCLUDED: Chalk it up to thoughtlessness on Simon’s part. You became “his” when he adopted you. What he was focused on at the wedding was the question of biological relatedness, and I’m sure he didn’t mean to slight you. Because this has troubled you enough to write to me, discuss it with your father and tell him how it made you feel, and give him a chance to explain. DEAR ABBY: We have two sons, both married with children. Unfortunately, their wives don’t get along, which has resulted in strained family gatherings. There is now a tendency not to invite the “other” couple to family events. Our sons always got along with each other, but this has also strained their relationship. Any suggestions? Should we, as parents, get involved and talk to both couples at the same time? It is heartbreaking to see our sons and our grandchildren miss out on together time. — SAD IN SYRACUSE DEAR SAD: Talk to your sons separately — and then with their wives. Whatever has caused the tension between your daughters-inlaw may take mediation to fix. You are right to be concerned, because if the cousins don’t grow up knowing each other, the breach in the branches of your family will be permanent.

1. Win the trump in dummy, ruff a diamond, cash the K-A of clubs and ruff a club. Then ruff a diamond, a club and another diamond, at which point you are out of diamonds and clubs in both hands. In this way you lose only three tricks — a diamond and two spades. You play the hand as though you were declarer with the East cards and West were the dummy. It would be natural, if you were East, to ruff your diamond losers in dummy — and almost any East who became declarer at four hearts would auto-
matically do so. The line of play should not change merely because West happens to be the declarer. 2. You start with eight tricks and must consider the best way to acquire a ninth. There are two realistic possibilities. One is to cross to your hand with a club and lead a spade toward dummy. If North follows low, you must then guess whether to play the jack or the king. Mathematically, you have a 50 percent chance of succeeding on this line of play. The alternative approach is to attack hearts instead of spades by cash-

a third heart trick by playing in the prescribed manner. Even if both opponents follow low on the A-K, you are still about a 4-to-1 favorite to make a third heart trick by leading another heart from dummy, since the suit might divide 3-3, or South might have started with the Q-10-x-x.

so there’s no formula for what he should do,” Scotty’s mother, Judy, said. “So I do sit back and wonder if this is the right move, are these the right songs, is this the right atmosphere? Things have been chugging along and all the right things are happening and all the right people are in his path, so I’m just trying to let go and let nature take its course. Something’s working.” While competing in Los Angeles, McCreery met most of the former “Idol” winners. A few brought gifts. All came bearing advice. “A lot of it was enlightening,” McCreery said. “For the most part they had one common theme: Stay true to yourself and don’t let the business get to you because it’s a completely different world out there than this ‘Idol’ bubble and the life we knew before. They said just stay true to your boots and it will all be good.” McCreery figured out one part of the formula quickly. He focused on the music, picking up quickly on the Nashville mantra: It’s all about the song. He teamed with producer Mark Bright, a veteran who has worked

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Performing in front of millions of people for the first time, beating out thousands of other highly talented competitors, defeating nerves and self-doubt — winning “American Idol” may have been the easy part. Now Scotty McCreery has to figure out how to turn victory into a high-level career. One doesn’t always translate into other. But the 17-year-old isn’t thinking of his first post-“Idol” album, “Clear As Day,” as a makeor-break situation. He prefers the long view. He wouldn’t mind being the next superstar alum of “Idol,” successfully transitioning in the way multiplatinum stars Carrie Underwood and Kelly Clarkson have. If not, though, he’s still going to play baseball in the spring. He’s still going to college in a year. He’s still … Scotty. And superstar status — or lack thereof — won’t change much. “People, they bring that up a lot,” McCreery said. “For me it’s not so much about that aspect. The other ‘Idols,’ they have a lot of success in what they’re doing. They get to do music every day for the rest of their lives. They may not have the most mainstream, big success, but they’re still doing what they love. And we talked to some of the ‘Idols’ when they came to the show about that. Right now, we’re doing what we feel’s right.” McCreery, who turns 18 on Sunday, had a fairly simple and normal life until about a year ago. From small town Garner, N.C., he was a pitcher and a member of the chorus with an unbelievably deep voice who occasionally participated in small talent shows. A year later he’s a TV star, a veteran of a national tour and he and his family face a myriad of decisions — from which songs to record to complicated financial dealings — that could have a profound effect on his life for decades to come. Way more worrisome than whether he can hit the high notes. “There’s never been a teenage boy to really make it in country music
with Underwood, Reba McEntire, Rascal Flatts, Luke Bryan and Billy Ray Cyrus, and the call went out to Nashville’s songwriting community. They were looking for songs written specifically for McCreery that would reflect his sensibility. He got songs from notable writers like Brett James, Casey Beathard, Craig Wiseman and Keith Urban, who suggested his old song “Walk in the Country” from his early career in The Ranch. Like all the others, McCreery gave it close consideration before recording it. As those former winners suggested, he stayed true to his boots. “I’d get a lot of outside opinions and stuff — Does this feel right? Does it sound good?” Scotty said. “Ultimately it has to feel right to me and it had to feel good to me so I didn’t have to fake it when I was recording it. All these songs on this album are 100 percent me.” Each of the 12 songs comes from a youthful perspective or voice, and McCreery says they just naturally fell into categories of love — romantic love, family love, love for the place you come from. These are themes that will be familiar to his fans, who turned out in record numbers to help with his victory. More than 39 million people watched the final episode and the 122.4 million votes cast for the finale set a new mark. Brian Wright, Universal Music Nashville senior vice president of A&R, thinks those numbers might just be an early indicator that McCreery will be very popular, “if he’s not already a superstar. I think in the public eye that he is.” The trick is to build on that, and Wright thinks that will come naturally. He believes McCreery has the “it” factor stars need to build and keep a large audience. “I didn’t get to meet him until the week before the final,” Wright said. “All of that on TV was really good. But once I finally met him, I got it. Sometimes in this business we get jaded about making sure everything’s perfect — the artist, the look, the sound — when it really is just about connecting to your audience. I think Scotty does a great job of that and what you see on TV is what you get.”

DEAR NANNY: Your employer seems to be clueless. What makes her think her son will get into college if he’s spending his high school years stoned on weed? And for that matter, when he grows bored with grass, what makes her think he won’t go on to “experiment” with stronger illegal substances? Hiding her head in the sand is not the answer. Where is the boy’s father? If the mother isn’t up to the task of keeping her son on the straight and narrow, the father should be informed about what’s going on.

When it comes to fibbing parents are human, too LEANNE ITALIE Associated Press NEW YORK — As a lawyer, Laurie Gray knows from experience that witnesses aren’t always capable of knowing, let alone telling, the whole truth. As a mom, she allows herself the same human quality. Last year, she had her 10-year-old daughter lie about her age to register for a free email account, knowing the company’s minimum was 13. “She had told me you have to be 13,” said Gray, in Fort Wayne, Ind. “I responded you don’t actually have to BE 13. You just have to enter a year for your birth date that was at least 13 years ago.” Rare is the parent who hasn’t faced a similar “ethical” dilemma: How to model honesty for kids young and older while navigating the grays of telling a lie, especially one that isn’t an act of kindness but rather a fib of convenience, or even laziness. Must we always ‘fess up when caught in iffy lies by offspring, or is it OK to plead guilty to lesser crimes without seeking mercy from that old nag, bad modeling? The usual preach from parenting experts — NEVER lie to
your mom but don’t tell grandma she’s fat — doesn’t leave much wiggle room for the less-thannecessary lie. Child psychiatrist Elizabeth Berger sees a couple of options. “What helps children grow, whether they are 5 or 10 or 35, is a relationship with the parent in which authentic, intimate and deep exploration of thoughts and feelings is encouraged,” said Berger, also a New York City mom of two adult children. “This does not mean that the parent must fall on his sword. It means that the parent listens respectfully to the child’s point of view, whatever it may be,” she added. “The parent can say, ‘Ah, well maybe I didn’t handle that situation so well. I’ll have to think this over,’ or the parent can say, ‘Ah, I did my best. Go eat your broccoli.’” Sean Horan isn’t a dad. He’s a “deception researcher” at DePaul Uniin Chicago. versity Human beings lie all the time, “and we lie the most to people that we’re closest to,” he said. “Some scholars have proposed that lying is, in fact, a ‘competent’ communication behavior.” Then how can we get

away with telling kids as young as 10 that lying is bad, at least most of the time? “You know what, that’s not reality,” Horan said. “If we raise children saying that lying is always wrong, they’re going to grow up feeling really guilty.” Deception, he said, is sometimes neither good nor bad. And the parent whose social lie is overheard by little ones with big ears? Like making up a dental appointment when a fellow mom calls for the umpteenth time to bag on the car pool. “What counts for the
child is the child’s sense of the parent’s honesty and trustworthiness in relation to the child,” Berger said. “A child who feels loved and respected by parents who are reliable and devoted to the child is not going to have his faith shaken by a fib about car pools.” For mom Lee Reed in Tampa, Fla., the nuances as she presented them to her newly minted 15-yearold daughter are these: “A little white lie allows the other person to keep their dignity and benefits them fully. Being dishonest, and true lying, is done to keep the person lying out of
‘Apps’ taking away from family
their fair share of the work that must be done to keep the home clean, tidy, and otherwise habitable. Are you with me so far? If you are confused already, then there’s no point in you reading any further. Anyway, we have arrived at the point where the question “Should children be paid for chores like adults are paid for the work they do?” should be answered. Ponder this: Adults are not paid for doing housework. They are paid for doing work that children are prohibited, by law, from doing. Children don’t bring income into the home—not until they are old enough to be legally employed that is, at which point they should give back a certain percentage (I recommend 20 percent) of their income
to the family. Keep in mind that Dad and Mom give ALL of their income back to the family. So, to answer the previous question: No. They already enjoy free room, board, transportation, medical care, and so on. That is their “payment.” Also, when one pays or rewards a child for chores, the impression is created that if the child does not feel the immediate need for the payment or reward, he is not obligated to do the chores. And that brings us right back to entitlement. A child should do chores because his parents tell him to do them, period. There should be no rewards for this other than the reward of being a
member of a family that is blessed to live in a singlefamily dwelling that is heated in the winter, affords protection from weather and critters, and within which there is lots of love and good food. On the other hand, if the child fails to do his chores, then he should pay a price of some sort. That’s what happens in Real World, and remember, this is all about helping children learn about Real World. In summary, these apps are appsolutely stupid, the antithesis of what “family” means.

step is a potential disaster.” In suburban Chicago, Ruth Spiro handled it this way when she once tried to fudge the age of her now 13-year-old daughter for the price of a kid ticket at the movies: “I said something like, ‘If we had come to see this movie two weeks ago, it would have cost X, but since we’re coming after your birthday, it’s going to cost Y. Let’s pretend it’s still before your birthday, because it doesn’t seem fair that we have to pay more.’” Funny thing is she doesn’t recall why saving a few bucks seemed worth it at the time. “With other things, I’m a stickler for the truth and being honest. I guess it’s a matter of degree, and whether the lie will have serious consequences or not.” Was there any fallout for Laurie Gray and her 10-year-old over the email registration fib — the same fib she didn’t share with her husband because, she said, he’s “an eagle scout and the straightest arrow I’ve ever met.”

Full disclosure in four parts: First, I am not a tech-savvy person and never intend to become one. Second, I am convinced that the less technology, the better the life. Third, the technology in my life consists of a laptop, basic cell phone, stereo system, DVD player, flatscreen television, ROKU, and a Digital Video Recorder. Fourth, I do not believe children should have cell phones until they are able to take full responsibility for them, including paying the monthly bill. I recently ran across news of technology available as “apps” for mobile phones and tablet computers that entices children to do household chores. I’m not going to list them, because I don’t want to appear to be endorsing them. In fact, I am dis-endorsing them. One of these products was named “Best Parenting App” of 2011. Parents create a list of chores, responsibilities, and desired behavior for the child in question and assign point values to each. Points are then exchanged for rewards. The other programs are variations on the same theme in that they make a game out of doing chores and result in children receiving rewards for becoming Housework Heroes. This is what I call Parenting of the Absurd. In other words, these products will enjoy great appeal, especially among parents who drink often of the post-1960s parenting Kool-Aid. For their sake, let’s break this issue down into digestible pieces: First, a family is the most fundamental of social groupings. The family, not the individual, is the building block of a functional society. As such, family is the training ground for citizenship. Good citizenship is defined by contribution, not entitlement. Therefore, children should be contributing members of their families. The most meaningful way they can contribute is by doing
trouble. If she is the only one benefiting from the lie, then it is wrong.” Was that the case when Reed cited her daughter as the reason she couldn’t join work colleagues for dinner after work one recent Friday? Truth be told, while she doesn’t leave the teen home alone at night, she could have arranged a sleepover at a friend’s house but plain didn’t feel like going out. “I let her know that it felt easier to use her as my excuse and that it was purely selfish on my part,” Reed said. Will the teen survive without turning to the dark side? Likely, her mom said. Kirsten Bischoff in Springfield, N.J., does worry about repercussions when caught fibbing by her 12-year-old daughter, who’s old enough to understand the “many shades of gray surrounding the concept of lying.” That emotional sophistication, she said, makes it more precarious for mom and dad when they’re found out. “It makes the topic a veritable minefield,” Bischoff said. “Any mis-

CHIROPRACTIC HEALTH

Does chiropractic care really make sense? Do you have the same nagging injury that never seems to go away? Are you suffering needlessly with pain? Are you fed up with taking painkillers? Do you want to find out what is causing your pain? If your answer is “yes” to any of these questions, then chiropractic may be a solution for you. Typically, the chiropractic patient enters the office with some kind of pain. Back pain, neck pain, hip pain, leg pain, arm pain, shoulder pain, etc. comes in all different shapes and sizes. However, all of these pains share one common thread — they are all symptoms. Symptoms tell you that something in your body has gone wrong. They serve as a warning system to alert you of a deeper problem. Healing occurs regardless of the symptoms experienced. The quality of healing depends on the effectiveness of locating and addressing the cause. Many people in today’s society experience pain due to abnormal structure of the neuromusculoskeletal system. The neuromusculoskeletal system comprises the human frame
and posture. Abnormal postural structure not only predisposes the human body’s systems to abnormal function but may ultimately result in an injury or chronic condition. Altered alignment of the human frame may lead to poor healing and repair of the body tissues. These architectural and pathological changes may occur in
muscle, ligament, bone and central/peripheral nervous system. Chiropractic aims at therarestoring peutically these pathological deformations of the neuromusculoskeletal system and spine to allow for optimum function of the human frame and nervous system. Correct spinal mechanics and the health of the whole neuromuscu-
Chiropractic care for your child BY DR. JOHN KEEFE “Chiropractic care for my child? Why? His back doesn’t bother him.” How often chiropractors have encountered parents who appreciate the importance of regular checkups for their child’s teeth, hearing, eyes and ears but draw a blank when it comes to a spinal checkup. In fact, a spinal checkup could be one of the most important checkups your child will ever have. Your child’s spine is his/her lifeline because running through it is the spinal cord, containing billions of nerve fibers that send messages and energy from the brain to every part of their body. If there is blockage of any of the nerves along the spinal cord, any nerve damage at all, then a state of ” dis-ease” will develop. Dis-ease means dis-harmony in the body that will cause generalized weakening of your child’s body, lowered resistance to disease, and consequent body malfunction and sickness. Blockage of nerves in the spinal column are usually caused by tiny fixations and misalignments of the spinal vertebrae that are called vertebral subluxations. Only chiropractors are trained to detect and correct subluxations, much like only a dentist finds cavities. Subluxations can be caused by the birth process, the very physical childhood activities of running and jumping, falls and accidents. Because your children (and you) may have spinal subluxations and not know it, all children need periodic spinal checkups. There are however certain warning signs indicating that the spinal column may be out of alignment: one hip or shoulder is higher than the other, hyperactivity and can’t sit still, frequent falling, a foot turned in or out (foot flare), neck tilt, one leg shorter than the other, chronic fatigue, “noisy bones” or joint aches,
and skin conditions. Some other indicators are increased allergies, colds and flu, asthma and ear infections. A recent study of 332 children showed that chronic ear infection sufferers under chiropractic care had no more infections in 80 percent of the cases (Journal of Clinical Chiropractic Pediatrics, Vol.2, No.2 1997). The Chiropractic Approach By releasing stress on the nervous system with very gentle and safe chiropractic adjustments, the body will work more effectively and be able to express better health. The nervous system controls EVERY function of the body (Gray’s Anatomy) and thus the nervous system when not interfered with by subluxations can enable the body to heal itself and be healthy. No matter what health concerns you or your children may have, you can benefit from a healthy spine. Spinal health can be as important for your overall healing as proper nutrition. Are you and your family carrying vertebral subluxations in your spines? A spinal
checkup can tell. Among the many things contributing to your health: the quality of the air, food and water you take in, how you handle stress, your inherited weaknesses, strengths and activity levels — a healthy spine is absolutely essential. In some people and children it is a major factor and can make the difference between a life of health, strength and vitality or a life of disease, weakness and disability. More and more families are finding that chiropractic care for their children makes a big difference in their health. Every day we see children in our office getting healthier as they receive adjustments, because their parents who saw benefits from chiropractic care for themselves wanted their children to have the same. One of the comments that we hear over and over again is “My child doesn’t seem to get sick as often since getting adjusted.” Why not include chiropractic spinal checkups for you and your children? It may be the best move for your family’s health you’ll ever make.
loskeletal system are interdependent. Therefore, chiropractic treatment focuses on restoring proper spinal mechanics which will, in turn, influence the function of the nervous system. Chiropractic rehabilitation enhances the healing process and assists the body in its efforts to heal itself by controlling the long-term degenerative changes in the human frame and posture. Care is based upon the human process of healing. The healing process is categorized into fairly distinct progressive stages. Consequently, conservative chiropractic rehabilitative care flows with these stages. It is not the intention of this article to provide an in-depth review of rehabilitative chiropractic care and/or the healing process; rather, the purpose is to highlight some of the pertinent concepts in understanding how one can achieve better health through chiropractic care. Acute inflammatory stage This initial stage of response to injury lasts up to 72 hours. The goals
of care during this phase of healing are directed at reducing the reactive inflammatory response and eventual removal of debris from the tissues. Clinical management includes the use of chiropractic adjustments, ice, heat, gentle range of motion exercises and passive stretching. Repair stage The repair stage lasts from 72 hours up to 6 weeks and is characterized by the synthesis and deposition of collagen (scar formation) in an attempt to regenerate damaged tissue. During this stage the body’s main concern is the increase of the quantity of collagen to replaced damaged tissue. However, this new scar formation is not fully oriented in the right direction and is of a mechanically inferior quality. Clinical goals during this phase include freeing early adhesions and maintaining muscular tone and ligamentous integrity. Remodeling stage This stage lasts from 3 weeks to 12 months or more (depending on the severity of the injury), during which time the
collagen scar is remodeled to increase the function of the new tissue. The rehabilitative goals primarily involve improving the quality, orientation and strength of the collagen. This is accomplished by alignment of global body positions and posture, increasing functional capacity, reducing stress/strain on involved injured structures and management of disability. So, when does the healing occur? It starts immediately after the injury and can last for over a year depending on the severity of the injury and the action steps taken to help the body heal efficiently. Addressing an injury as early as possible using chiropractic care can result in the best possible scenario of full recovery. Addressing your chronic injuries now results in the return of a pain-free lifestyle, doing all the things you love to do. Dr. Brian Paris, Back Pain and Sciatica Advisory, serves on the Medical Advisory Board at The Health Back Institute
Chiropractics heals a host of ailments naturally BY RAY LA FOY If you’re tired of taking a pill for every ache and pain, perhaps it’s time to consider chiropractic. This form of medicine relies more heavily on natural supplements and the body’s own ability to heal itself when the right adjustments are made. Finding a good chiropractor can be a task in and of itself, but there are literally thousands of them in America alone. The Internet can be a great tool for locating those in your area and finding those that come with high marks from past and present patients. Chiropractors adjust the body by putting the spine back into alignment, work muscles and help relieve tension and pain without resorting to heavy prescriptions, in most cases. Good chiropractors will do everything within their power to help patients avoid the use of unnecessary drugs and chemicals and even surgery but will admit when more “conventional” medicine can make a difference. Oftentimes, they work in conjunction with more mainstream doctors to ensure a patient’s overall health is in good hands. There are a number of
conditions that chiropractors can help with and some can seem a little surprising. But, considering the fact that the spine, muscles and nerves are greatly affected by most major illnesses, injuries and even minor afflictions, it should come as no surprise that chiropractic is beneficial for more than just stiff necks. This form of medicine is effective in treating everything from back pain and muscle weakness to headaches, colds and beyond. When the body’s bones and muscles are manipulated correctly a whole host of illnesses can be relieved and possibly even eliminated. A typical appointment will involve an assessment, muscle relaxation, adjustments and possibly even a massage or more, depending on the ailment. Finding a good chiropractor takes a little common sense. The Internet is a good tool to use for doing so. When looking for a doctor in your area, check into the following: What is the doctor’s background? Chiropractic is not quackery. Serious medical study and advanced degrees and licensing are required to practice this. Doctors should be licensed and members of
chiropractic boards. Check into any complaints filed against the doctor. Remember, that even the best doctors get an occasional black mark from a patient that quite likely no one could have made happy. Look for trends rather than oneinstance complaints. Does your insurance cover chiropractic? Most companies do cover at least a portion of treatments. Whether automobile policies following accidents or regular medical insurance, chiropractic is considered a viable alternative to regular medicine. Does the chiropractor accept your insurance? If not, check around for one that does. Is the chiropractor recommended by others? Friends? Family? Your physician? Find a doctor you can have trust in and you should be all set. By relying on the body’s own ability — with a bit of assistance — to mend itself when the kinks are worked out, chiropractic is a very viable option for treating a whole host of illnesses. Getting a reliable doctor is fairly simple, too, as long as a little bit of research goes into the search.

HOROSCOPE Friday, Oct. 7, 2011 In the next solar cycle, use your manifold gifts to brighten your financial future. Your ingenuity regarding ways to both acquire and save money will be rather impressive and will serve you well. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Because you’ll know how to use your imagination and resourcefulness to skirt around obstructions that could impede your progress, nothing of importance will get in your way. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Associates will find you to be an exhilarating ally. Without even realizing it, you’re likely to set the right example that encourages others to utilize their assets to the fullest as well. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Speak up, because your approach to solving another’s complicated business conundrum is likely to be extremely clever and effective. You might even get a reward for your suggestion. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Although attempting to establish a solid business relationship with just a verbal agreement is not recommended, as long as both parties are honorable, it can still work out. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Channel any artistic urges you get into the beautification of your home or personal attire. Neither you nor anybody else will easily tire of your choices, regardless of how extreme they may be. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — Not to worry if there is a lot of conversational buzz going on behind your back, because it is likely to all be quite complimentary. In fact, several people will be copying what you do. ARIES (March 21-April 19) — Check your resources to see where you’ve been a bit wasteful, so that you can use this overflow down the line for getting a few things you truly need. Chances are there will be enough to go around. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Sincerity is the ingredient that closes deals. If you’re representing something that you truly believe in, you shouldn’t have any trouble making some good sales. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — If it can better your position, there is no reason why you shouldn’t make a few concessions, even if you have to give up more than you thought. It’s the end results that count. CANCER (June 21-July 22) — Let someone who is willing to work on your behalf get involved and pitch in wherever and whenever she or he can, especially if it’s within this person’s means to do what you can’t. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — You can disprove the axiom that says, “Nice guys finish last.” Demonstrate to others how you can achieve big objectives without stepping on anybody else’s toes. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Although you may not have a clue how you can accomplish what must get done, chances are you will have access to those who can fill in all the missing pieces for you.

Roger Lewis, of Pickerington Central, and Najee Murray, of Steubenville, both 2012 OSU commitments, returned kickoffs for touchdowns last weekend. Lewis went 98 yards and Murray went 95 yards.

Ohio State at Nebraska, 8 p.m., Saturday, ABC QUARTERBACKS >
RECEIVERS
Freshman Braxton Miller remains Ohio State’s starting quarterback despite being replaced by his backup Joe Bauserman for the entire fourth quarter of a 10-7 loss to Michigan State last week. The question, though, is if Miller, Bauserman or any of OSU’s quarterbacks are ready to be the starter. Nebraska’s Taylor Martinez is a double threat quarterback, who sometimes can be a threat to his own team’s fortunes. He has passed for 823 yards and four touchdowns and rushed for 482 yards. Ohio State coach Luke Fickell says he might be the fastest player the Cornhuskers have. But his problem has been turnovers. He has five interceptions, including three in a span of seven plays during a 48-17 loss to Wisconsin last Saturday. Advantage: Nebraska
Just when it looked like some help was on the way, Ohio State lost DeVier Posey for at least another game because of an additional suspension and Verlon Reed is gone for the season with a torn ACL. That could mean more playing time for freshman Evan Spencer, who has caught two touchdown passes in limited action. Tight end Jake Stoneburner leads Ohio State with 10 catches. Reed had nine catches and freshmen Devin Smith has eight catches, three of them for touchdowns. Like Ohio State, Nebraska has no receiver with glittering statistics. True freshman Jamal Turner leads the Cornhuskers with 13 catches. Advantage: Even
OFFENSIVE LINE > After giving up nine quarterback sacks and being called for three false start penalties against Michigan State, there is no way to go but up for OSU’s offensive line. All-Big Ten tackle Mike Adams returns from a five-game suspension, which should help but won’t fix everything. Nebraska center Mike Caputo and guard Spencer Long stay on the field most of the game while six other linemen rotate at the other three positions. The Cornhuskers are second in the Big Ten in rushing yards per game (249.8) and third in scoring (37.6). Advantage: Nebraska .
DEFENSIVE LINE >
If Nathan Williams returns this week from arthroscopic knee surgery would be a surprise. His absence leaves Ohio State without a dynamic pass rusher. Despite all the despair over how OSU played last week, the defense limited Michigan State to 71 yards rushing. Jared Crick, a defensive tackle projected as a firstround NFL draft choice, leads Nebraska’s line. Baker Steinkuhler and Cameron Meredith are also three-year starters. Despite the presence of all those veterans, Nebraska’s pass rush has been unimpressive much of the time without the help of a blitz. Advantage: Nebraska
LINEBACKERS Andrew Sweat had a personal season-high 10 tackles in the Michigan State game, but that was more than the other two starting linebackers, Storm Klein and Etienne Sabino, combined to get. Lavonte David set a Nebraska record with 152 tackles and was a secondteam All-American last season. He leads the Cornhuskers in tackles (45) and tackles for losses (5) this year, but hasn’t had a lot of help. Advantage: Even
< DEFENSIVE BACKS JOHNATHAN HANKINS The 6-foot-3, 335-pound sophomore from Dearborn Heights, Mich., is one of the key players on Ohio State’s defensive line. Hankins has 21 tackles, third on the team, and has three tackles for losses and a sack.
RUNNING BACKS > Jordan Hall’s run as Ohio State’s No. 1 tailback will last at least one more game with the extension of Dan Herron’s suspension. He is averaging 72 yards a game the last three weeks after serving a two-game suspension of his own. Nebraska’s 5-11, 210-pound running back Rex Burkhead’s hardnosed style has earned him the label of being a “throwback.” He has gained 516 yards and scored eight touchdowns. He and Martinez both average 16 carries a game. Advantage: Nebraska

C.J. Barnett and Bradley Roby intercepted passes and OSU’s secondary made Michigan State’s Kirk Cousins look a little tentative for much of last week’s game. Roby and Barnett lead Ohio State with two interceptions each. Nebraska changed starters at three positions in its defensive backfield for the Wisconsin game because it was unhappy with how it was struggling to contain the opposition’s passing game. How did that work? The Badgers’ quarterback Russell Wilson passed for 255 yards and two touchdowns. Standout cornerback Alfonzo Dennard missed three games earlier in the season, Only Minnesota is giving up more points per game in the Big Ten than Nebraska (27.2). Advantage: Ohio State
SPECIAL TEAMS > OSU’s Drew Basil is 5 of 7 on field goals and punter Ben Buchanan is averaging 41.4 yards per kick. Nebraska kicker Brett Maher is 9 of 11 on field goals and both of his misses have been from 50 yards. He also made a 50-yarder. He also punts and is averaging 47.9 yards per kick. Twelve of his 33 kickoffs have been touchbacks. Advantage: Nebraska

OSU keeps reliving the past COLUMBUS -- Wow. Another press conference. What was that when Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith announced more suspensions for football players on Monday? Was it the third time he’s done that in the last few months? The sixth? It feels more like the sixteenth. When OSU and Smith first announced the suspensions of five players for trading memorabilia for tattoos and money in December, they said they had investigated the situation and there were no further violations. Then three more players were found to have taken money from a booster at a charity event and were suspended. Now three different players won’t play at Nebraska on Saturday night because they received money for work they didn’t do. And that money came from the same booster who doled out cash at the charity event. A booster who has provided part-time jobs for Ohio State football players for years. So who knows where that’s going to lead. Ohio State’s assurances are like your lawn service telling you they’ve taken care of the dandelions in your yard and there are no further problems. Then two weeks later, toad stools pop up. Then, after they tell you that’s the last of your issues, in another two weeks you find thistles scattered throughout your lawn. Hearing that college football players got cushy part-time jobs from a booster is about as suprising as learning that beer is often sold near college campuses. However, let’s not invoke the “everybody is doing it” excuse. Maybe the most unsettling thing about the latest violations at Ohio State is that two of players suspended on Monday, DeVier Posey and Dan Herron, were already suspended for breaking NCAA rules when they did it again. Smith tried to assure Ohio State fans that these violations were the actions of rogue individuals. But when you’re dealing with repeat offenders, you wonder why every financial transaction they made, every step they took wasn’t under the microscope.

Dotson Battles For Ball
Ventura moving up quickly with Sox Named manager of Chicago team

Piqua’s Haley Dotson battles a Sidney player for the ball Wednesday night. Piqua lost the game 5-2. The Lady Indians will be back in action Saturday, hosting Trotwood-Madison at Wertz Stadium.
CHICAGO (AP) — Robin Ventura was easing his way back into baseball with the Chicago White Sox. Hired as an adviser to player development director Buddy Bell in June, it afforded him just the right mix of work and time with his family. When Ozzie Guillen asked out of his contract near the end of the season and eventually ended up in Florida, Ventura was as surprised as anyone. And when general manager Ken Williams and Bell talked to him and broached the possibility of succeeding Guillen, he was initially taken aback. He mulled it over, discussed it with his wife and after a face-to-face meeting with Williams decided it was the right move, facing a challenge in a place where he was comfortable
and well-liked for a decade. An offer, it turned out, he couldn't and didn't refuse. "Not having managed before, I did have apprehension," the former White Sox star third baseman said in a conference call Thursday. "(Williams) never tried to talk me into it. It was more of what was going to be there and be available. Ultimately it was going to be my decision." Ventura, known for his slick fielding, clutch hitting and left-handed power, has a good sense of humor and a well-rounded perspective on the game. Fiery as Guillen? Nope. But he's had his moments, too. Who can forget the time he charged the mound after Nolan Ryan plunked him with a pitch in 1993?
Once there, Ryan applied a quick headlock and administered several punches before players from both teams reached the confrontation. And Ventura was tough as a player, too, surviving a grotesque injury in 1997 when he fractured and dislocated ankle in a spring training slide. Now he's the 39th White Sox manager overall, a list that includes 17 who played for the team. "I think there is a challenge there, getting back into the game," he said. "I do have a passion for it. I do have a passion for this team and this city. I'm not one to really back away from a lot of things. ... The passion is there to do it, I was asked to do it. I'm honored." See VENTURA/Page 15

Long-time coming Bengals ‘D’ No. 1 for first time since 1983 CINCINNATI (AP) — For the first time in 28 years, the Cincinnati Bengals' defense is No. 1. The Bengals are at the top of the league's rankings this week after giving up fewer yards than anyone else in the first four games. They moved up after shutting down Buffalo's high-powered offense in a 23-20 win on Sunday, one they considered the best measure yet of how good they can be. "I think we showed we are a legit defense," middle linebacker Rey Maualuga said. "Now let's take it to a new level the rest of the way." They haven't been this legit since they still had the core of a defense that helped them reach their first Super Bowl during the 1981 season. The defense finished ranked No. 1 in 1983, when the offense struggled and the Bengals went 7-9. That defense held opponents to 20 or fewer points in 11 games. This one ranks fifth in points allowed after giving up 74 against Cleveland, Denver, San Francisco and Buffalo. That high ranking has a chance of staying. The Bengals (2-2) play their next three games against the three lowest-ranked offenses in the league — Jacksonville (No. 31), Indianapolis (No. 30) and Seattle (No. 32). "That's our goal," defensive end Robert Geathers said. "It's no shock that we're in this position, but it's early in the season and we've got to keep working and not buy into all the hype." The Bengals were counting on an improved defense to carry the offense in the first part of the season. Cincinnati is going through growing pains with rookie quarterback Andy Dalton and rookie receiver A.J. Green. "It's been great," Dalton said. "Our defense has done a really good job. That's why we've been in games. In the fourth quarter, we've had a chance to win the game and they've made big plays. It's great
from an offensive standpoint to have a defense like that." The defense finished the 2009 season ranked No. 4 in the league, a big reason why the Bengals won the AFC North and reached the playoffs for only the second time in the past 20 years. It was decimated by injuries last season — nine veterans hurt and the backfield virtually wiped out. They've been mostly healthy so far, and a few offseason changes have worked well. Nate Clements was signed after cornerback Johnathan Joseph left as a free agent. Maualuga was moved from outside to middle linebacker, his more accustomed spot. Linebackers Thomas Howard and Manny Lawson signed as free agents. Howard has given the defense more versatility with his ability to drop into pass coverage. During the win over Buffalo, he covered running back Fred Jackson. "I've never been around a finer athlete at linebacker than what he is," coach Marvin Lewis said. "He is a good football player and he is learning to fit in the spots. It is fun to watch him." The biggest improvement has been on the line, where the Bengals invested a lot of draft picks in recent years. Secondyear end Carlos Dunlap and second-year tackle Geno Atkins have excelled in an eight-man rotation, a sign of the line's depth. "Everybody can get out there and do the job," Geathers said. "Usually they only keep seven (active), so I guess it speaks volumes that Marvin's been putting eight of us up. I guess all eight of us deserve to be out there on the field." The Bengals have 10 sacks, tied for 12th in the league, but have gotten consistent pressure on quarterbacks, forcing them to get rid of the ball quickly. "On defense, it all starts

Indians offense is becoming more balanced with each match. “It is that time in the season,” Davis said. “We do drills every day in practice. Jasmine (Davis) is becoming more confident in them (the middles and right side hitters) and they are becoming more confidence.” Reinke had 18 kills, 10 digs, two blocks and three aces; while Vogler had 16 kills and 16 digs. Davis had 40 assists, five kills, three blocks and 18 digs; while Carnes had five blocks and Potts added four. “That is a big night for us blocking,” Davis said. “When we get a block, it is like three points with our size.” Piqua, 15-3, now has a tri Saturday at St. Henry with the Lady Redskins, ranked number on in the state in Division IV and Lima Senior. “We play Lima Senior first,” Davis said. “So, that is where my focus is right now.” Hoping his new look continues to be a winning Brooke Reinke hits the ball Thursday night as Jasmine Davis watches.

Harvest Prep gets hit hard School receives tournament ban COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Ohio's sanctioning body for high school sports has banned Canal Winchester Harvest Prep from its tournaments in football, girls basketball and boys basketball for the next two academic years for playing ineligible players. Among other sanctions, the Ohio High School Athletic Association also ruled that none of the school's sports teams could play in postseason OHSAA events in 2011-12. Harvest Prep must also forfeit tournament games
in boys basketball from a year ago along with three football games from last season. School Superintendent the Rev. Gary Johnston says the school has agreed to violations and jointly signed an agreement on penalties. He says Harvest Prep is proud of its coaches, athletes and administrators and will remain compliant with OHSAA regulations. The school is permitted to play regular-season games.

Continued from page 13 finishes in history of the district golf tournament, Thieman’s final birdie putt finished off a 332 total for Lehman, one stroke better than secondplace Middletown Christian. A year ago, Lehman was one of three teams to shoot the low score in Division III. Because the other two won the fifthman tiebreaker, the Cavaliers did not get to go to state — although Thieman went as an individual, something he had described as a bittersweet experience. Thursday, was a different story. “It feels completely different from last year,” Thieman said with a smile. “Last year, the team really struggled at the end. Today, everybody played great. Tyler (Bergman) and John (Copella) both shot great rounds and Sam (Dean) and Mitchell (Shroyer) were solid. That (96) is not that bad down here.” Lehman got off to a torrid start on the Meadows nine, with Thieman and Bergman both carding even-par 36s and Copella adding a 39 to give Lehman an eight-shot lead at the turn, before they played the Valley View nine. The lead would hold up as Thieman and Bergman finished with 78s and Copella added an 80. Dean and Shroyer both carded 96s. “On the first nine, I hit the ball a lot better (than sectionals),” Thieman said. “I struggled a little bit on the back.” Bergman, like Thieman a senior, got off to a hot start. “I wasn’t expecting that at all,” he said about the 36. “I just tried to hold it together on the back. This feels great because I contributed. Two years ago, I played on the team that went to state, but my score didn’t count.” Lehman coach Elmer Schlater was not surprised by what he got from his “big three”. “I told those guys they needed to come through,” he said. “They are the upperclassmen and they all played great. And Mitchell (Shroyer) and Sam (Dean) both were solid for us.” And, while he couldn’t have known it at the time,
up front," Howard said. "They're the backbone of our defense. When they play like that, we're pretty good." NOTES: S Chris Crocker (knee) and nickel CB Kelly Jennings (hamstring) didn't practice on Wednesday. S Taylor Mays missed part of practice be-

Russia’s Corey Bremigan lines up a putt on the first hole. it would be a 12-foot birdie putt by Thieman on the par-5 ninth on the Valley View nine to close the round that would be the difference in first and second. “We can go ahead and say I knew I needed to make it for the win,” Thieman said with a laugh. “Actually, I did think it was a pretty important putt. I knew it was tight. I hit a wedge in from 100 yards to about 12 feet. I thought it was a putt I could make and I did.” Lehman will return to the Ohio State University
Scarlet course next Friday and Saturday. “I really did have a good feeling about today,” Thieman said. The birdie putt was just the icing on the cake. ■ Russia got off to a tough start on the front nine and shot 350 to finish sixth. Corey Bremigan just missed qualifying as an individual, following a 44 on Valley View with a 37 on Meadows for 81. Other Russia scores were Treg Francis 84, Bryce Dues 91, Eli Puthoff 94, Austin Tebbe 96.
■ Covington had a tough day, finishing 10th with a 382 total. Bucc scores included Samuel Slusher 86, Christian Carder 92, D.J. Seger 96, Wes Root 108, Joseph Slusher 108. ■ Versailles finished an outstanding season in the Division II district tournament. The Tigers finished in the middle of 12-team field with a 337. Versailles scores included Trevor Phlipot 83, Aaron Niekamp 83, Jake Ahrens 85, Tyler Drees 86, Brandon Groff 86.
Guillen was released from his contract with one year remaining after eight seasons with the White Sox and immediately was hired by the Florida Marlins as their manager. "That whole thing surprised me as much as anybody. I figured he would be managing here a long time," Ventura said of Guillen, his friend and former teammate. The 44-year-old Ventura played for a host of managers who could influence his style — Jeff Torborg, Gene Lamont, Jerry Manuel, Bobby Valentine, Joe Torre and Jim Tracy. "I run the gamut on different styles and smart baseball men and just different ways to communicate and get guys to play," he said. What kind of manger will he be? Yet to be determined. He said he wants players who care and are accountable. Ventura was a firstround draft pick of the White Sox out of Oklahoma State in 1988 and spent the first 10 seasons of his 16-year career with Chicago. After leaving the White Sox, Ventura also played for the New York Mets, New York Yankees and Los Angeles Dodgers. He was six-time Gold Glove winner and an All-Star in 1992 and 2002. Ventura's selection came as a big surprise. Most speculation had the White Sox's top candidates as either Tampa Rays coach Dave Martinez or Cleveland Indians bench coach Sandy Alomar Jr. Both are former White Sox players. But Ventura was always on Williams' radar. "Needless to say he was a little surprised and little apprehensive," Williams said. "We had to explain to him exactly what the support system would be and exactly what are expectations were at the start. I was very clear with him that I do not expect him to be Tony La Russa on day one. In our estimation the fit is such that all of that will come together and we will ultimately be better off down the line that we could be if — in my opinion — we went in a different direction." Pitching coach Don
Cooper and first base coach Harold Baines were already re-signed to multiyear contract extensions before the season ended. Hitting coach Greg Walker is not returning. Other staff additions will be announced by Tuesday when Ventura will have his first news conference at U.S. Cellular Field Ventura batted hit .267 with 294 home runs and 1,182 RBIs over his career. His 18 career grand slams are tied for fifth in major league history. He appeared in 1,254 games over 10 seasons with the White Sox, hitting .274 with 171 home runs and 741 RBI. He ranks among the White Sox career leaders in grand slams, walks, homers, RBIs, extra-base hits and runs scored. Ventura led Oklahoma State to the College World Series and still holds the Division I record with a 58-game hitting streak. Guillen left after he couldn't get a contract extension from owner Jerry Reinsdorf. His relationship with Williams had become fractured over the last two seasons. Now another White Sox player is back to try and get the team into another World Series. Guillen led them to the title in 2005, ending an 88-year drought. Just like Guillen, Ventura is a big favorite of Reinsdorf. "His ability to motivate and lead others will be a terrific attribute as manager," Reinsdorf said in a statement. "I loved him as a player, from his baseball knowledge, to his professionalism, to how he went about his business in the clubhouse and on the diamond." Expected to be contenders this season, the White Sox finished 79-83 and third in the AL Central as several key players, most notably DH Adam Dunn and center fielder Alex Rios, struggled offensively. Ventura said he's familiar with what transpired last season, adding that once spring training gets under way in Glendale, Ariz., everything will be in the past and it will be a fresh start. For him, too.
