Thousands honor MLK at memorial dedication BRETT ZONGKER Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — Thousands of people spanning all ages and races honored the legacy of the nation's foremost civil rights leader during Sunday's formal dedication of the new Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial in Washington.

Aretha Franklin, poet Nikki Giovanni and President B a r a c k Obama were among those who attended the more than four-hour ceremony.

King's children and other leaders spoke before the president, invoking his “I Have a Dream” speech and calling upon a new generation to help fully realize that dream.

Some in the crowd arrived as early as 5 a.m., and the crowd eventually overflowed beyond the park gates. Some women wore large Sunday hats for the occasion.

The president arrived late morning with his wife and two daughters, which drew loud cheers from those watching his entrance on large screens.

Cherry Hawkins traveled from Houston with her cousins and arrived at 6 a.m. to be part of the dedication. They postponed earlier plans to attend the August dedication, which was postponed because of Hurricane Irene.

“I wanted to do this for my kids and grandkids,” Hawkins said. She expects the memorial will be in their history books someday.“They can say, 'Oh, my granny did that.'”

Hawkins, her cousin DeAndrea Cooper and Cooper's daughter Brittani Jones, 23, visited the King Memorial on Saturday after joining a march with the Rev. Al Sharpton to urge Congress to pass See MLK /Page 4

Squirrels Did you know that there are actually over about three hundred varieties of squirrels around the world? What a cool squirrel fact! Of course, in North America there are only about 10, but around the world, the species of the squirrels equal up to about three hundred different ones!

There are many different sizes of squirrels.

For example, there is the gray squirrel, which can be up to three times as large as the red squirrel but quite a great deal smaller than a fox squirrel. A fox squirrel is by far the largest of the squirrel family and even though the size of an adult gray squirrel is about 18 inches long and can weight about a pound, the fox squirrel still has the gray squirrel beat!

Generally all squirrels

Did You Know?

live in trees, basically in the holes of trunks or even in the treetop in abandon crow’s nests.

Squirrels will usually start looking for a nest when they start to mate, which is when they are about a year old. It usually takes about six weeks from the time that the squirrels mate until there are baby squirrels running around.

Baby squirrels are called kittens and kittens are born only twice a year.

Once in the spring time and once at the end of the summer; it is not unusual for the female squirrel to have about two to five kittens.

When it comes to a squirrel’s diet, the facts are they will eat acorns, wheat, fruit, bird’s eggs, mushrooms, berries, oak buds, corn, insects, moths, nesting birds and especially nuts of any kinds. Squirrels will typi-

What are squirrels most talented at doing?

Tree squirrels run fast and jump long distances on tiny branches high up in trees. Ground squirrels dig long tunnels very fast. Many squirrels chatter and use their tails to communicate a complex language. All squirrels have very sharp teeth and flexible front paws -- and are very smart about opening containers and solving other food-related challenges. Squirrels have sensitive hearing. Squirrels have big eyes that see very well -- but they are on the sides of their heads, so they don't see what's at the tip of their nose. That's one reason it can be dangerous to feed a squirrel -- it can't see your fingers and might accidentally bit you if you get too close.

Are squirrels friendly?

Tree squirrels — especially Gray Squirrels — are quite used to humans

Where do you find Red Squirrels most often?

Coniferous forests. Red Squirrels feed on the seeds and cones of Pine trees, Fir trees and Spruce trees.

cally gather and save a lot of their food all year round but this is definitely true when it comes to the autumn time. When you see them collecting all their nuts just before winter it is because they are getting ready for winter and they want to make sure that they have enough food to last them.

After they have buried all of their food and when winter comes and goes, the squirrel will wake up out of hibernation and go look for the food they buried!

and many will come close to people hoping they will be fed. However, squirrels deserve our respectful distance. They have very sharp teeth and sharp claws and defend themselves by biting and scratching if they are startled. However, they are fun to observe. Think of it like this — people are HUGE to the little squirrels. If a HUGE animal tried to play with you...would you defend yourself? Of course! So treat them with gentle respect...and they can be wonderful "wild friends".

Do squirrels live in houses?

Squirrels build their own "houses" for summer use, and they live in cavities in large trees during cold winter months to keep them warm. They are mammals, so they need to protect themselves from both cold and hot weather just like people do.

However, did you mean, "do squirrels

Squirrels can generally live anywhere from ten to twelve years but after about six years, they are considered old squirrels.

Some of the most common ways that squirrels die is being attacked by their natural predators or they can also die from traffic. Many squirrels do not make it up to the ten year mark due to traffic and while it is not our fault most of the time, we definitely need to keep our eyes peeled for these amazing creatures.

live in people houses?" Yes, they sometimes do find a way to climb into an attic or empty room. They love being protected from natural enemies such as hawks and cats and even snakes. And they enjoy the snug warmth, too. Squirrels can be pretty noisy in an attic — so if you don't want squirrels in your attic, prevention is the best solution. Making sure that small holes are repaired with metal plates, and that scrap food is removed will encourage squirrels to go find their natural home space and natural food sources. Use metal whenever possible -- avoid plastic, PVC and wood in squirrel territory.

You might want to place pet food dishes, garbage cans and bird feeders carefully -- they look like a holiday dinner to a hungry squirrel! It's a lot easier than foraging for nuts and fruit, so they will visit these human diners every day once they are discovered.

Which are the most common tree squirrels found in America?

The Gray Squirrel. They often live in cities and close to humans -- and eat a wide variety of food from nuts, seeds and fruit to human trash including bread, meat and table scraps.

Why do squirrels have such long tails?

Tree squirrels, in particular, have long tails to help them balance as they run up and down and from tree to tree.

It's like holding a stick sideways when we balance on a beam. Squirrels also use their long fluffy tails as an "umbrella" — to shade them from hot sunlight, shield them from rain, warm them during cold weather, and as a flag to communicate with other squirrels.

How fast are squirrels?

Tree squirrels run and jump so fast that they have been clocked at 20 miles per hour. The average squirrel usually scampers at about half that speed. However — they don't do so well on streets. Squirrels have a habit of stopping when danger runs toward them — but not cars. When they use this natural behavior on streets, cars tend to run over them.

How long do squirrels live?

The average life span for a squirrel in the wild is 3-5 years. Their main predators are hawks, owls, cats, and predators of baby squirrels can include snakes, crows and other squirrels.

What You'll Need: • Peanuts still in the shell • Garden gloves Ever wonder how you'd do if you became a squirrel? Here's a way to find out.

Take 30 peanuts and bury them in piles of leaves, small mounds of dirt, near trees, or in sidewalk crevices.

Then, wait a week, put on your garden gloves, and try to find the peanuts you buried. Other squirrels may have gotten to your stash first — how good were your hiding places?

What do squirrels eat?

When it comes to squirrels, there are a lot of things that these little critters will eat that make gardeners hate them. Not only are squirrels one of the most hated creatures in the rodent family because of their diet but they are also one of the cutest looking rodents! Squirrels have been an annoyance to many gardeners for centuries and if you are interested in exactly what do squirrels eat,

that is what we are going to explore in this article!

Most squirrels are vegetarians.

There are a few exceptions like the flying squirrel. The flying squirrel will eat small birds, insects and definitely steal eggs from birds nest in order to make a meal. Generally speaking though, squirrels will mainly stick to things that are vegetarian related.

The main diet of squirrels is:

“How’s the ankle doing?”

Hector asked.

“I’m fine,” Felix tapped his backpack. “Coronado and his men endured crazy stuff during their expedition. My biggest fear is running out of licorice before we get to Gallinas!”

A short time later, Hector stopped. He put one hand on his hip and pointed west with the other. “Hah! What’s that?” he barked.

Karol and Felix looked at the large orange-red glow over the approaching horizon. The color reminded Felix of his grandma’s very spicy salsa. Suddenly, he felt hungry.

“The sun is going down!”

Karol said. “Not good!”

“No. Look, just beyond those trees. That’s Highway 54.” Hector said proudly, maintaining his hero stance.

The three explorers quickly headed toward the highway with renewed enthusiasm. They only paused for a moment in front of a giant sign that read ENTRADA DE CIBOLA NATIONAL FOREST. “I hate to say it,” Karol said, “but we should start looking for a place to camp tonight.”

“She’s right,” Felix agreed.

“How about here?” Hector suggested a spot. There were a couple of large fallen trees to sit on and even some small

“Quit whining,” Hector said. “We’re making good time.”

“Why don’t you tell us more about the gold?” Karol suggested, stopping to rest on a large tree stump.

“Yeah, let’s hear it,” Felix agreed, carefully sitting on the ground.

“All I’ll tell you is that I think the gold came from a king, a long time ago,” Hector began.

“What king?” Karol jumped in.

“And where is it buried?”

Felix quickly asked.

“Whoa,” Hector said.

“Nobody said it’s buried.

And remember, the treasure is in the journey.”

“What in the world is that supposed to mean?” Felix snickered.

“That’s all I’m saying for now,” Hector answered mysteriously.

“Oh man, did anyone think to bring matches?”

Felix began to worry.

“I think there are some special waterproof matches in my camping pack,” Karol offered.

“Gracias,” Felix said, relieved. “OK, you two start a fire. I’ll go look for some rocks to put around the fire pit.”

Felix had been gone for only a few minutes when the most unusual smell caught his attention. It wafted through the air and made its way across the rocks and trees. It was not a smell you’d expect at the edge of a forest.

It smelled like … pizza!

“Hey, you guys, save some for me!” Felix yelled, limping towards his two friends, who were now roasting slices of pizza over the open fire.

“Felix, what is that bell you’ve been wearing around your neck?” Karol asked.

“Well, it’s kind of cursed.

At least that’s what my grandma thinks,” Felix began, as they all sat enjoying their warm, smoky pizza.

“She tells me some pretty crazy stories sometimes.”

“Let’s hear one!” Hector coaxed, licking melted cheese from his sleeve.

“I’m not sure if you’d be interested,” Felix said, suddenly embarrassed about his

“OK, then,” Hector said.

“I think it’s time to move away from the fire.”

“So is it cursed, or lucky?”

nitely corn on the cob that is dried and hung up for them. Squirrels are not picky eaters at all and they will pretty much consume anything that is in front of them as long as it tastes good, this is especially true when it comes to flower bulbs!

Now that we have explored exactly what a squirrel eats, let’s go ahead and explore why exactly gardeners hate these adorable creatures so much. Well, as you might know, squirrels love to dig and hide their extra food all over the place.

This is not just done just before the winter time; it is actually done all year round. So while the squirrels are digging, they are usually not only trying to hide their extra nuts the garden soil, but they are also digging up fresh bulbs that gardeners plant in the spring time. One of the favorite things on a squirrel’s menu is flower bulbs.

Something about the taste of a bulb is absolutely something that a squirrel can not resist and if they happen to dig one up while they are hiding their nuts in the soil, and then they will swap it out! This is one of the reasons why gardeners and squirrels simply do not get along at all. Gardeners will spend all of that time planting a whole lot of bulbs only to get half of the flowers that they planted due to squirrels digging up the rest!

extracted from a mountain. It was carved by Chinese artist Lei Yixin. The design was inspired by a line from the famous “I Have a Dream” speech in 1963: “Out of the mountain of despair, a stone of hope.”

King's “Dream” speech during the March on Washington galvanized the civil rights movement.

King's older sister, Christine King Farris, said she witnessed a baby become “a great hero to humanity.” She said the memorial will ensure her brother's legacy will provide a source of inspiration worldwide for generations.

To young people in the crowd, she said King's message is that “Great dreams can come true and America is the place where you can make it happen.”

King's daughter, the Rev. Bernice King, said her family is proud to witness the memorial's dedication. She said it was a long time coming and had been a priority for her mother, Coretta Scott King, who died in 2006.

Bernice King and her brother Martin Luther King III said their father's dream is not yet realized. Martin Luther King III said the nation has “lost its soul” when it tolerates vast economic disparities, teen bullying, and having more people of color in prison than in college.

He said the memorial should serve as a catalyst to renew his father's fight for

social and economic justice.

“The problem is the American dream of 50 years ago ... has turned into a nightmare for millions of people” who have lost their jobs and homes, King said.

The nation's first black president, who was just 6 years old when King was assassinated in 1968, saluted King as a man who pushed the nation toward what it ought to be and changed hearts and minds at the same time.

“He had faith in us,” Obama said.

“And that is why he belongs on this Mall: Because he saw what we might become.”

Giovanni read her poem “In the Spirit of Martin,” and Franklin sang.

Early in the ceremony, during a rendition of “Lift Every Voice and Sing,” the crowd cheered when images on screen showed Obama on the night he won the 2008 presidential election.

Obama, who credits King with paving his way to the White House, left a copy of his inaugural speech in a time capsule at the monument site. He said King was a man who “stirred our conscience” and made the Union “more perfect.”

But the Rev. Al Sharpton said the dedication was not about Obama but the ongoing fight for justice. He called for people from around the world to walk through the stone of hope and emerge to see “the face that brought us from the back of the bus to the White House.”

MLK Continued from page 1 a jobs bill.

“You see his face in the memorial, and it's kind of an emotional moment,” Cooper said. “It's beautiful. They did a wonderful job.”

A stage for speakers and thousands of folding chairs were set up on a field near the memorial along with large TV screens. Most of the 10,000 chairs set out appeared to be full. Many other people were standing.

The August ceremony had been expected to draw 250,000, though organizers anticipated about 50,000 for Sunday's event.

Actress Cicely Tyson said her contemporaries are passing the torch to a new generation and passed the microphone to 12-year-old Amandla Stenberg.

The girl recalled learning about the civil rights movement in school and named four young girls killed in a 1963 church bombing in Birmingham, Ala. “As Dr. King said at their funeral, 'They didn't live long lives, but they lived meaningful lives,'” Amandla said.

“I plan to live a meaningful life, too.”

About 1.5 million people are estimated to have visited the 30-foot-tall statue of King and the granite walls where 14 of his quotations are carved in stone. The memorial is the first on the National Mall honoring a black leader.

Piqua Mainstreet is taking pre-orders this month for this 100 percent cotton afghan above showing six landmarks throughout the community.

PIQUA — Piqua Mainstreet is now offering a 100 percent cotton afghan featuring images of six landmarks from throughout the Piqua community. The brand new product will be available later this month but Mainstreet Piqua is currently taking pre-orders. Order forms can be picked up at the Mainstreet Piqua office or downloaded from the Mainstreet Piqua website at www.mainstreetpiqua.com.

“Through the years we have had numerous requests for throw blankets,” said Mainstreet Piqua director Lorna Swisher. “And finally we have a really beautiful product to offer our community.”

The landmarks featured on the throw blanket include the Fort Piqua Plaza, the Piqua Fire Department, the Post Office, Hance Pavilion, the Gazebo and the Veterans Memorial. This full color throw

blanket is fringed on all four sides and is Made in the USA by a veteran owned company. The throw blankets measure 50x70-inch and are $60 through Nov. 1 and will go up to $65 after Nov. 1.

The artwork on the throw blanket was done by Piqua artist Roe Kienle who was commissioned to create watercolor paintings specifically for this afghan project.

“We approached Roe about a year ago and asked her to use her extraordinary talent to create paintings of Piqua landmarks that we could use for this project,” Swisher said. “Roe worked tremendously hard at making sure the paintings were very detailed, while also usable for this specific application.”

The afghans themselves are manufactured with a finer yarn so they show off the details while also being durable and machine wash-

able. The original artwork will go on permanent display in the Piqua Public Library thanks to the Piqua Public Library’s Assistance and Development fund who helped with the project.

Jenna Grace Snyder “A project like this takes a tremendous amount of work,” Swisher said who credits her retail committee including Melinda Curtis, Jackie Shinall, Gail Wilcox and Mary Teach for getting the project done. “We also owe a huge thanks to Steven Gall of Gauntlet Awards who found the Veteran owned company who is manufacturing the afghan.

Letters to the Editor Serving Piqua since 1883

Voters urged to approve Piqua levy

Government orders bilingual election ballots in 25 states

BY HOPE YEN ASHINGTON (AP) — In the run-up to the 2012 elections, the federal government is ordering that 248 counties and other political jurisdictions provide bilingual ballots to Hispanics and other minorities who speak little or no English.

That number is down from a decade ago following the 2000 census, which covered 296 counties in 30 states. In all, more than 1 in 18 jurisdictions must now provide foreign-language assistance in pre-election publicity, voter registration, early voting and absentee applications as well as Election Day balloting.

The latest requirements, mandated under the Voting Rights Act, partly reflect second and third generations of racial and ethnic minorities who are now reporting higher levels of proficiency in English than their parents.

Still, analysts cite a greater potential for resistance from localities that face tighter budgets, new laws requiring voter IDs at polls and increased anti-immigration sentiment.

Effective this week, Hispanics who don’t speak English proficiently will be entitled to Spanish-language election material in urban areas of political battleground states including Pennsylvania, Virginia, Wisconsin and Utah, as well as the entire states of California, Florida and Texas. For the first time, people from India will get election material in their native language, in voting precincts in Los Angeles, Chicago and New York, due to their fast population growth.

More American Indian tribal languages will be made available in many parts of Alaska, Arizona and Mississippi, while Vietnamese and Taiwanese will get their own voting assistance in several new areas, including parts of Washington state, Texas, Massachusetts and California. Asian Bangladeshi must be provided for the first time in Hamtramck, Mich, which neighbors Detroit.

“We would like to be in a society where everyone has equal opportunities to vote, but that’s not the reality we’re living in today,” said James Thomas Tucker, a former Justice Department attorney who is now a voting rights lawyer in Las Vegas. Tucker said the law has been key in the election of new Hispanic and Asian officials in many places, even as he noted that a vocal Englishonly language movement and new budget constraints on local governments could stir fresh tensions.

“Some jurisdictions will see pushback,” he said.

The Voting Rights Act provision, first approved by Congress in 1975, requires states, counties and political subdivisions to supply versions of ballots and election materials in other languages if a Latino, Asian-American, American Indian or Alaskan minority group makes up more than 5 percent of the voting-age population or at least 10,000 citizens.

The minorities must be unable to speak or understand English well enough to vote in elections, a proficiency level determined by those who indicate in census surveys that they don’t speak English “very well.” The minority group also should have literacy rates ranking below the national average.

In all, 248 counties and other political divisions must provide election materials involving 68 covered languages in 25 states, according to the list released Wednesday by the Census Bureau. The agency puts together the list based on its review of survey data on minority population growth, educational attainment and English proficiency.

Letters concerning candidates or issues on the Nov. 8 ballot will be published through Saturday, Nov. 5. All letters must be sent by email to editorial@dailycall.com in order to be published. Letters must be 400 words or less and include the letter writer’s name, address and a phone number for verification purposes. Letters that do not follow our policy will not be published.

Letter writers will be limited to one letter per subject matter.

We also will not print letters or guest columns written by individual candidates. Each candidate will have the opportunity to be interviewed by a reporter for a profile story.

Candidates are welcome to contact our advertising department at 440-5252 to purchase space for additional election-related space.

THE FIRST AMENDMENT Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

To the Editor: We have studied the Piqua City Schools issue.

We have reviewed the financial costs and we see that voting for the new schools is the cost effective option. It is more costly to continue to maintain seven old buildings with their limitations in utiliities, space and technology than replacing them with three more efficient buildings.

We think the planning group has chosen excellent sight locations for each building. It will be wonderful to see the old hospital location again be used for the benefit of our community. Constructing new buildings at the Washington and Springcreek locations help serve our younger children on both sides of town.

We especially like that our school system and community will receive 47 cents on each dollar for this project from the State fund. Our local property values will be restored without having to fund these projects soley from our property taxes. It is a win/win.

The future for Piqua’s children is now. Please join us in voting “yes” for Piqua’s schools.

DEAR MOM: You’re not out of step, and you are correct that the current arrangement is unfair to Luci. If your son should die tomorrow (heaven forbid), Patsy would be a merry widow with all his assets, and Luci would be left with fond memories and a baby to raise by herself. Period.

Not knowing Beau, I can’t know his reasons for not divorcing the woman who left him and ensuring that Luci and the children are taken care of. But I am sure of this: His reasons are NOT solely that he thinks his wife should be the one to file.

Raising a child well does not guarantee he (or she) will turn out to be a carbon copy of his or her parent. So for your own sake, please stop personalizing this.

Advice out to lunch with my son, his new wife, “Taylor,” and her family. My son asked, “Mom, do you want something else to eat?” Naturally, I thought he was speaking to me, so I answered. I was crushed when he said, “No, I was talking to ‘Sally’” (Taylor’s mother)!

I feel it’s wrong for my son to call someone else Mom, and furthermore, Sally should have said something, but she didn’t.

Taylor and I are close, but she would never call me Mom, especially in front of her own mother. Am I being silly? Or should I let this go?

— HIS ONLY MOM DEAR ONLY MOM: Let it go. Your son was probably calling Taylor’s mother “Mom” because he had been asked to do so. (“‘Sonny,’ we’re family now. Please call me ‘Mom.’”) It would not, however, be confrontational to tell your son that hearing him do it was hard to swallow.

DEAR ABBY: I walk daily with a friend who constantly complains about her job — “I have seven meetings, a person to train and emails to write, blah, blah, blah …” I occasionally have an opening to mention my problems, but it’s rare.

This Tuesday photo provided by the Theatre des Amandiers, USA’s Tina Benko performs in Desdemona, directed by American director Peter Sellars, at the Amandier theater in Nanterre, outside Paris. With “Desdemona,” a play that opened earlier this week, the Nobel laureate Toni Morisson probes the hidden suffering and occult oppression woven into Shakespeare's tale Othello.

JENNY BARCHFIELD Associated Press PARIS (AP) — She’s but a throwaway mention in Shakespeare’s “Othello,” a one-line reference buried in Act IV of the dense and dark tale of passion and betrayal.

But Barbary — the African nurse who raised Othello’s ill-fated wife Desdemona — is at the very center, the beating heart, of Toni Morrison’s bold re-imagining of the tragedy.

With “Desdemona,” a play that opened earlier this week at the Theatre Nanterre-Amandiers in a Paris suburb before traveling to San Francisco and New York, the Nobel laureate probes the hidden suffering and obscured oppression woven into Shakespeare’s tale.

Directed by California-born Peter Sellars, “Desdemona” is a dialogue between the title character and Barbary, played by striking Malian musician Rokia Traore, who sings her responses in her native Bambara language.

Dressed in identical white linen dresses, the two women move around in bare feet over a stage strewn with clusters of empty glass jars and bottles and microphones.

Their movements are spare, as what matters in this gripping, hypnotic play are the voices — women’s voices.

The project was born out of a conversation between Morrison and Sellars a decade ago.

“I said there’s this really bad play

by Shakespeare called ‘Othello.’ It makes no sense, it’s just a disaster, and it’s way past its use-by date, like yoghurt that’s been on the shelves that you should not feed your children,” Sellars told The Associated Press in an interview. “Toni then spent the next four hours telling me how wrong I was.”

The disagreement between these two creative giants spawned a double-dare of sorts: Sellars would stage Othello — he says his 2009 production was “hugely trashed in America, hugely celebrated in Europe” — while Morrison would “write a response to Shakespeare.”

Morrison leapt to international fame and was awarded the 1993 Nobel Prize for Literature for bringing into the light lives that had so long lingered in the shadows, so it was little surprise that she chose to put such strong focus on Barbary.

“For Shakespeare, the ideal woman is silent. The women characters he admires the most are the ones who say the least. ... Of course, Toni has a different opinion,” said Sellars, with a belly laugh that shook his trademark gravity-defying shock of finger-in-the-socket hair.

Morrison’s Desdemona doesn’t just talk: Speaking from beyond the grave, she rants, she whispers, she rails, she cries, she cajoles, she mesmerizes and bewitches.

This daughter of a powerful Venetian senator and a noblewoman tells of her melancholic childhood in which “constraint was the theme of

behavior (and) duty was its plot;” of her father’s efforts to marry her off and deliver her “profitably and securely into the hands of another man;” her love affair with Othello, the Moor, who seduces her with his tales of adventures in wind-swept lands, of enslavement, of shipwrecks and of blood-soaked battles.

Desdemona weeps as she recounts her relationship with Barbary, the “sole consolation” of her loveless, circumscribed childhood.

Barbary’s “heart, so wide, seemed to hold the entire world in awe and to savor its every delight,” says Desdemona, played brilliantly by American actress Tina Benko. “I loved her.”

But “when I needed her most, she stumbled under the spell of her lover” and died of a broken heart.

Filled with stories within stories, “Desdemona” feels like a kind of Russian stacking doll of disenfranchisement. Desdemona recounts the anguish of being a woman within a punishing patriarchy and also gives voice to Othello’s own alienation as a dark-skinned foreigner. But it’s Barbary’s pain that’s at the bloody core of the piece.

The most haunting moment in the play comes when Desdemona sees her nurse again through the fogs of the afterlife.

“Barbary! Barbary, come closer.

How I have missed you.... You were my best friend,” Desdemona exclaims.

“I was your slave,” Barbary slices back.

DEAR ABBY: My son, “Beau,” married “Patsy” four years ago. She left him after two years and moved out of state. There are no legal separation papers, no child support, and my grandson lives with his daddy.

Beau has a mistress now and tells people they’re “engaged.” “Luci’s” family refers to my son as her fiance and she’s considered Mommy to my grandson. When I corrected those titles at a recent family function, it caused friction.

In my opinion, they can’t be engaged until Beau is first divorced. To me, marriage is important; it matters. I am disturbed by my son’s refusal to end his marriage. I feel it is unfair to Luci, who just had his second child.

Beau claims Patsy left him, so she should file for the divorce.

Please understand that Luci and I have become close. She’s thoughtful, intelligent, well-spoken, and a wonderful mother to both my grandchildren. I just feel Beau should finish his first marriage. This is not the type of man I meant to raise, and that this is the person he has become shames me to my soul.

Am I out of step with society? Am I the only one who finds this setup unfair to Luci and insulting to me, the mother who tried to raise him to be a better man than this? I have talked to a counselor, Abby, and it’s killing me.

Confetti is gone, now it is leaves Most of the confetti is gone, now we are covered in leaves. How awesome would it be to have a night crew come in a clean all the leaves off your property? Its kind of fun to watch the night cleaning crews of Pumpkin Show.

They do such a great job and its done so fast. I hope every one was able to enjoy Pumpkin Show to it’s fullest. I know my husband and girls sure did.

Donation to library With a nod to what is possible through science fiction, the Bradford Public Library recently received $10,000 as a donation from an online auction for a rare pre-publication bound manuscript of a novel by local author John Scalzi.

In the small western Ohio village, librarians and patrons were unaware of the potential gift until a library board member discovered the auction a few days before the event ended.

Scalzi, a New York Times best selling science fiction author, initiated the auction on his website’s blog whatever.scalzi.com offering incentives to bidders beyond the rare manuscript of Redshirts: A Novel with Three Codas due for release later this year through Tor Books.

The winning bidder, Brad Roberts, is from Bellevue, Wash., and donated $7,000 for items provided by Scalzi including a

HEATHER CANAN Columnist ukulele song and schadenfreude pie along with additional chapbooks and manuscripts. An anonymous bidder in California donated three-thousand dollars $3,000 to bring the total funding to $10,000.

“We are extremely surprised and overwhelmed by the magnitude of this donation,” said Judith P. Bardo, Bradford Library Trustees president. “This is the second largest donation ever received by our board and we are truly humbled and grateful to John and the winning bidders to be the beneficiary of such a generous gift.

This funding creates new and exciting opportunities for us to provide valuable resources through our village library.”

Scalzi explained during the auction on his website that he “was a big believer in libraries and their role in our cities and towns.”

He cited Ohio’s budget cuts resulting in reduction of services when patrons needed the libraries the most; and the enjoyment of surprising the librarians with the donation as the reason for offering the auction. “I knew the board and librarians worked hard without a lot of funding. I wanted to show my appreciation for the work they do and for the community,” said Scalzi. “And, I wanted to surprise the librarians who are lovely people which is why I didn’t tell them.”

“Our library was far from quiet when the auction results were revealed,” said Cherie Roeth, Bradford library director.

“It’s wonderful to have this donation in a time when our budget is shrinking and demand for our resources swells.”

The Bradford Public Library provides information and resources in printed, audio, electronic, and visual formats along with computer access, study room, a history room, community room, and special programs/events to patrons and the public throughout Darke and Miami counties and the Miami Valley region.

Library hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays; 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays; 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Fridays; and 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday.

The Bradford Public Library is located at 138 E. Main St., and staff may be reached at 448-2612 during regular hours.

Bradford is scheduled to print every first and third Monday of the month.

concrete slab upon which the trash bins rest needed to be extended. That would require in an extension of the wooden fence surrounding the dumpsters as well. The entire fencing would then be painted to match the rest of the park structures. The project began the first week of August and was wrapped up in early October.

The new concrete slab was done quickly. The detail work on the fence extension and painting was worked in around the beginning of the school year.

Stickel is also an accomplished long-distance runner, having gone to the state tournament last year.

Assisting Stickel were Phil Stickel, Joey Stickel, Andrew Ball, Jordan Ball, John Goubeaux.

Joe Goubeaux and Jeff Goubeaux. Also helping out were Dave Borchers, Nick Fullenkamp, George Epperson, Michael Busse, Luke Goubeaux, Glen Schulze and Gary Schulze.

The park board contributed most of the materi-

als to the two projects. The boys explained that the board was very anxious to have the repairs done.

Stickel found that the project was a good experience that provided the scouts an opportunity to give back to their community. He enjoys the planning and the chance to show leadership.

Goubeaux said he appreciates the recreational aspect of Scouting but also likes the chance to develop

leadership skills and become a better person.

Both have been in the scouts since their childhood, and have thoroughly enjoyed the various outings and opportunities to get together for some fun.

Scoutmaster Goubeaux expressed that the projects resulted in needed improvements. He emphasized that much work was done and that many others donated their time to finish the work.

RUSSIA — Two more members of the Russia Boy Scout Troop are nearing the final stages of the process to earn the coveted Eagle rank. They will join a long list of Eagle Scouts from the unit.

Luke Goubeaux, son of John Scoutmaster Goubeaux, of Anna, and Theresa Petrocelli, of Sidney, completed a project to improve the buildings in the Russia Community Park.

The sophomore at Sidney High School will soon be 16.

Goubeaux was contacted

by George Epperson, a member of the park board.

He explained that there was sufficient work to be done to the buildings to warrant a project.

The Scout began his planning and budget process, to see how much would be required to spruce up shelters, the restroom building and other structures on the park grounds. In addition to painting, there were repairs to the exteriors and replacement of some doors. The doors were provided compliments of the Francis Schulze Co., his father’s place of employment. The refreshment stand received a new set of shingles on the roof, along with other overhead repairs.

Some of the structures had been finished in a red stain. The announcer’s booth was painted in offwhite and blue, and was similarly repainted.

Due to the color on the remaining structures, and the fact that some of the wood tended to absorb a lot of paint, the project ended up requiring more materials than originally anticipated.

When all was said and done, 17 gallons of gray paint were applied to the park structures.

The entire effort took several weeks. Most of the work was done on weekends, around the busy schedules of all involved. Goubeaux works part time at CJ’s Highmarks.

Volunteers assisting on Goubeaux’s project were Steven Stickel, Phil Stickel, Joey Stickel, Andrew Ball, Jordan Ball, John Goubeaux and Jeff Goubeaux. They were joined by Dave Borchers, Nick Fullenkamp, Tyler Goubeaux, George Epperson and Michael Busse.

Like Goubeaux, Stickel was notified by the park board of a project possibility.

He is the son of Phil and Renee Stickel, of Russia. He is a sophomore at Russia High School.

For his project, Stickel was asked to work on an entirely different type of structure. The park has an enclosed pen for trash bins, but the concrete pad beneath the receptacle was no longer large enough, creating maintenance issues.The

HOROSCOPE Monday, Oct. 17, 2011 Be extremely selective of individuals you choose as allies in the year ahead, in either business or personal matters. Don’t connect yourself with anybody who can’t make a credible contribution or offer something of value.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Be extra prudent in the management of your resources or be prepared to assume more debt than you can comfortably handle. You won’t like taking on so much financial obligation.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Should opposition come from an unexpected quarter, you could get caught off guard. However, don’t get angry — instead figure out what precipitated this turn of events.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — If you are taken to task for not doing something you were supposed to do, don’t make excuses. It’ll give you much more peace of mind to start performing instead.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Guard your behavior when in a social or group setting, so that you don’t absentmindedly do something that would be construed as ill-mannered.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — If you allow outside forces to invade your domicile, conditions will not be as placid as you would prefer them to be. Why invite trouble into your quarters?

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — Certain concepts or ideas that you thought had considerable support might instead be challenged by some unexpected people. Don’t try to force compliance.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) — Watch out for somebody applying pressure to get you to cough up something that he or she wants. Don’t give up the goods, no matter how this person wheedles.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Should you find yourself up against a person you dislike, don’t make matters worse by letting your feelings be known. If you do, you will only add to an already bad situation.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — If you’ve been covering up or failing to do something that was expected of you, it could be a time of reckoning.

The things that you’ve been neglecting will be brought to light.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) — Unless you make it a point to take a hand in formulating important plans, others involved will do so for you. Chances are they’ll do only what is favorable for them.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Guard against taking on an involvement that you’re not equipped to handle.

You could quickly find yourself in way over your head and cause all kinds of problems.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — You’re someone who usually stays calm, cool and collected, yet there is a strong possibility you could lose your composure over something insignificant.

Don’t get caught off guard.

Wheldon dies in fiery crash LAS VEGAS (AP) — Indianapolis 500 winner Dan Wheldon died Sunday at Las Vegas Motor Speedway after his car became ensnarled in a fiery 15-car pileup, flew over another vehicle and landed in a catch fence just outside turn 2.

The 33-year-old racer was a two-time Indy winner, including this year's race.

Three other drivers, including championship contender Will Power, were hurt in the pileup during Lap 13.

Weldon was airlifted from the track to University Medical Center; about two hours later, his colleagues were told of his death.

In his honor, drivers took part in a five-lap salute around the oval.

IndyCar has not had a fatality since Paul Dana was killed at Homestead in 2006 during a crash in a morning warmup.

No interceptions. No lost fumbles. Running the ball on almost every down.

The Buckeyes had 55 plays on Saturday and rushed on 51 of them. The yardage wasn't startling — 211 net yards on the ground — but it was the larger point, that a team in these days of the read option, the spread and throwing the ball around could be soooo one-sided in its attack and still pull out a 17-7 win over Illinois, the nation's No. 16 team.

Different mindset Piqua battles Troy to end in 1-0 loss

BY ROB KISER Sports Editor rkiser@dailycall.com TROY — In the last three years, the Piqua girls soccer team had been outscored 14-1 by Troy, including losses of 8-0 and 51.

Saturday night, at Troy Memorial Stadium was a very different story.

And while the Indians didn’t come away with a win, losing 1-0 to finish the season 9-6-1, they

head into Thursday’s home tournament game with Vandalia-Butler showing there is a very different mindset with this team.

“I am just so proud of the girls,” Piqua coach Karen Horvath said. “Now, these girls go in expecting to win these games and that is obvious by the way they play.”

Troy coach Mike Rasey took notice.

In Troy D-I sectional action, the Lady Indians quickly shut down any Hurricane warnings with a 25-9, 25-6, 25-12 win.

Piqua will play Troy at 6 p.m. Wednesday.

“We wanted to get into a little bit of rhythm and we did that,” Piqua coach Chris Davis said. “Yes, Wilmington may have had a little bit of a lead in the third game when we had some young girls in there and that was fine. It was good to get those girls See SPIKERS/Page 14

■ D-III State Golf

ROB KISER/CALL PHOTOS

Lehman seventh in Schlater’s finale

BY ROB KISER Call Sports Editor rkiser@dailycall.com COLUMBUS — Call it the “Grand Finale”.

And consider the success Lehman’s Elmer Schlater had as the Cavalier golf coach, it was only fitting that his coaching career ended at the Division III state tournament.

The Cavaliers finished seventh out of 12 team at the state tournament Friday and Saturday on the Scarlet Course at Ohio State University, with Ben Thieman finished 13th as an individual to lead the Cavaliers.

“This was my final match,” Schlater said after his fifth trip to the state tournament. “Age factors into it. I will be able to spend more time with my wife and in Florida.

“I have been very blessed at Lehman. All my kids and all my grandkids but two graduated from Lehman.

“There are a lot of things to factor in like driving and travel. It is time to let someone younger take over the program.”

Thieman, like all Lehman golfers, is appreciative of everything Schlater did for them as a coach.

“The story for this sea-

The Cavaliers finished seventh at the D-III state tournament. son is really coach Schlater,” Thieman said. “I was talking to him earlier this season about it.

“I asked him about his early years as a coach and he said they really didn’t get to be good until the Fridleys (Nate and Wil) came into th program.

“I know there have been other great golfers, like Peter Berlekamp. But, coach Schlater stuck it out and had a lot more success the last 10 years. He is a great guy and a great coach who leads by example.”

Schlater remains humdespite taking ble Lehman to district for the 11th straight year this season.

He picked up his 1,000th win in 2010 and now has more than 1,100 wins.

He finished his coaching career with exactly 200 wins in dual matches.

The Cavaliers have finished as high as fifth at the state tournament during his time as coach.

“We had another pretty good year,” Schlater said.

“That 200th win was

pretty special.”

Lehman finished seventh with a 711 total, one shot behind Gilmour Gates Academy.

Columbus Wellington one with a 674 total.

“Seventh at state isn’t bad. We could have finished a couple spots higher, but the kids played pretty well.”

Thieman was making his third straight trip to the state tournament.

He led Lehman with matching rounds of 84 for a 168 total.

Tyler Bergman tied for

24th with 87-88 for a 175, finishing his career with a 39 on the back nine Saturday.

John Copella shot 86-92 for 178, freshman Sam Dean had 96-94 for 190 and Mitchell Shroyer had 115-116 for 231.

“I really didn’t feel any pressure because of what I have done in golf,” Thieman said. “I know what I am going to do, where I am going to play golf in college, wasn’t going to be affected by what I did at state.

“But, I was trying hard.

I think when I look back, I will be disappointed I didn’t play better at state my senior year, but I feel good that I made it to state three years in a row.”

And he feels like he got what he could out of his game.

“I tried really hard to get the ball in the hole,” he said. “I certainly wasn’t on top of my game.

“The Scarlet is the toughest course we play all year.

“When you add the wind in, with the precision that Scarlet demands, you just really have to battle out there. You just have to work hard to get the ball in the hole.”

Thieman played with individual champion Andrew Bieber of Gates Mills Gilmour Academy, who shot matching 77s.

“That was the low round Saturday,” Thieman said. “He is a good putter and he just worked hard to get his ball in the hole.

“He is going to be a Division I golfer. I wish that could have been me, but at least I got to see it.”

And be part of Schlater’s “Grand Finale”.

“It is about the golfers,” Schlater said. “I have always been blessed to have great golfers.”

They would say the same about the coach.

Piqua Continued from page 1B “”This is Troy-Piqua,” Rasey said. “In all sports, Troy-Piqua is a big rivalry.

But I have to give Piqua a lot of credit. Piqua has really turned it on in recent years. They are playing the game. They are knocking the ball around, and they’ve got some dangerous players.”

In the end, it was one slip-up, created by Troy’s weapon throw-in’s, Leah Soutar, that was the difference in the battle for second-place in the GWOC North.

Her flip-throw throw landed deep in the box — in fact her first one, just 25 seconds into the game, appeared to give Troy a 10 lead, but it wasn’t touched before it went into the goal, wiping out the score.

But, Piqua had no such luck on one that came with 19:35 remaining in the opening half.

It landed in front of the goal and Marisa Mowery was able to finish.

“We knew about Leah Soutar and what she could do,” Horvath said. “We were prepared for that.

And still, the goal they got came on a throw-in.”

Luck was not on Piqua’s side as Lady Indian keeper Kelsey Deal appeared to be in position to

But, it deflected off a Piqu a player’s leg and richocheted to the left.

When Deal went to change directions, she slipped a little on the wet

grass, allowing the ball to get into the net.

“Kelsey (Deal) was in the right position,” Horvath said. “But, when you put the ball in front of the goal like that with a lot of

bodies, things are going to happen.”

Troy could not come close to scoring again, despite a number of chances and it was Piqua who would mount the

strongest offensive attacks the rest of the way.

The Lady Indians best opportunity came midway through the second half when Hannah Strevell split two Troy defenders to

create a golden opportunity.

But, Troy keeper Amanda Blakeley was up to the challenge.

“I really thought that was going to be the one,” Horvath said. “But, Hannah (Strevell) did exactly what she needed to do.

She put the ball on frame and their keeper made a nice play on it.”

At the 12:23, Strevell hit a shot from the right side that looked like it might be the equalizer before sailing just over the net.

Three minutes later, Dianna Burt fired a hard shot on goal that Blakeley was able to stop on one hop.

“We had several good chances in the second half,” Horvath said. “We just couldn’t get one in the net.”

Deal, the GWOC leader in saves, had 14 for Piqua, while Blakeley had 10 for Troy.

Now Piqua turns its thoughts towards the postseason.

“We need to get ready for Butler,” Horvath said.

“We beat them once and we have them at home.”

Piqua will host the Lady Aviators at 7 p.m.

Thursday at Wertz Stadium.

Lady Falcons lose NEW CARLISLE — In Tecumseh D-II sectional action, the Graham volleyball team lost to Tecumseh 25-16, 25-5, 22-25, 25-19.

Lady Vikings cruise BROOKVILLE — Miami East knew the key Saturday would be to avoid playing down to the level of its opponent in the opening round of the Division III Brookville Sectional.

But even the Vikings — the No. 1 seed in the sectional and top-ranked team in the state in D-III — couldn't have expected what happened.

Abby Cash pitched an extremely-rare shutout in the second game Saturday against 12th-seeded Northridge as the Vikings (22-1) made short work of the Polar Bears 25-4, 25-0, 25-7.

Miami East advances to play Dixie at 6 p.m. Tuesday.

"I was proud of how focused and sharp the girls stayed despite our opponent's level," Miami East coach John Cash said. "It was a good effort by the ladies, and we were able to play everyone for the first time this season and get all of our players a taste of tournament action."

GIRL SOCCER Cavs blank East CASSTOWN — The Lehman girls put together back-to-back impressive wins to end the regular season, adding a 1-0 win over Miami East Saturday to their win over Anna on Thursday.

Those two teams have combined for 24 victories

so far this season.

Lehman goes to 10-3-3 with the victory and will play Triad in tournament play Thursday at home.

The lone goal of the game was by Carly Harrod, off an assist from Jenna Kronenberger, at the 25th minute of the first period.

some playing time.”

And the match was a chance for the Lady Indians to put a little bit of a rough stretch behind them.

Heading into the final four matches of the regular season, Piqua was on a roll, winning 12 of 13 matches.

But, they lost to the topranked Division IV team in the state St. Henry, along with GWOC teams Lebanon and Fairmont in the last week.

“We talked after the Miamisburg match that the kids didn’t seem that excited about that win,” Davis said. “I think what it was is things were going so well, I think the girls thought they didn’t have to work as hard to win. I think those two matches (in the GWOC tournament) were a good reality check for them.”

Now, the Lady Indians will look for a second win over Troy.

“The girls know who we are playing and what they have to do,” Davis said.

“The matche with Troy are always exciting.”

Brooke Reinke led the hitters Saturday with 15 kills, two aces and 10 digs; while Shelby Vogler added six kills, one block, five aces and 14 digs.

Tasha Potts had five kills, one block and one dig; while Jasmine Davis filled out the stat sheet with 30 assists, three kills, three aces and 10 digs.

Hayley Monroe had two assists, four kills and two digs; while Makayla Carnes had three kills, two blocks and two assists.

Taylor Bachman had two aces and five digs; and Macy Yount added four digs.

"I was actually more nervous going into this game than the first two times we played them," first-year Newton coach Julie Overman said. "We'd already beaten them twice, and it's hard to beat a team three times in a year."

But she needn't have worried as the Indians, powered by Cheyenne Quillen, cruised.

Quillen tallied a gamehigh 11 kills on the day, while JoEllen Fisher added three solo blocks.

Taking sting out of Yellow Jackets Piqua explodes for 75 points

BY ROB KISER Sports Editor rkiser@dailycall.com The Piqua football team scored early, often and in a variety of ways in a 75-14 romp over Sidney Friday night at Alexander Stadium/Purk Field.

Jon Dembski went 60 yards for a touchdown on Piqua’s first-play from scrimmage, letting the winless Jackets know that was not about change and the Battered Helmet was staying in Piqua.

“You don’t want to overlook anybody,” Piqua senior Travis Nees. “Jon (Dembski) came out and had the big run right away.”

It shattered the mark for points scored in a Piqua-Sidney game, surpassing the 57 Sidney scored in the 1970 game.

Piqua had scored 54 points in a win over Sidney in 1972.

Three plays after Dembski’s TD, Solomon Carnes recovered a fumble on the Sidney five and went into the end zone untouched to make it 13-0.

Piqua’s third TD of the opening quarter came on a 43 yard pass from quarterback Taylor Wellbaum to sophomore tight end Dom Stone, with Evan Grissom’s second PAT making it 20-0.

On the first play of the second quarter, defensive end Jordan Feeser intercepted a pass at the Sidney 26 and returned it 19 yards to the Sidney seven.

“I did (want to score on the play),” Feeser said.

“Guys told me I broke a tackle — then the guy just jumped on my back and brought me down.”

Three plays later, Feeser caught a 6-yard TD pass from Wellbaum.

Tyler Sage scored on a 20yard reverse, Kindric Link caught a 31-yard TD pass from Wellbaum and Ryan Hughes ran 12 yards for a score, making it 47-0 at the half.

Travis Nees started the second half with an 86yard kickoff return for a touchdown.

“I just saw an opening and went for it,” he said.

score and had some defensive lineman score.”

Wellbaum then found Sage for a 76-yard TD pass for his second score of the night and Grissom kicked his seventh PAT of the night.

“I knew it (having a big game was going to happen) sometime,” Sage said.

On the TD pass, Sage caught the ball near the Piqua 35 and won a foot race to end zone.

“Once I got past number 4 (Devonte Chambers), it was open field,” Sage said.

“I knew I needed to go.”

Piqua’s final two scores came on four-yard runs by Kyle Mills and Austin Reedy respectively, with Josh Holfinger kicking the PATs. “The thing is, not only did our starters play well, but our JVs, who have only lost one game, got in there and played well,” Nees said. “That was the good thing about it.”

Sidney managed two TDs in the final two minutes on runs by Kyle Dembski and Jordan Fox to avoid the shutout.

Wellbaum completed four of six passes for 156 yards and Dembski led a balanced rushing attack with 117 yards on 11 carries as Piqua did not punt in the game.

“The Trotwood and Troy games were two tough, physical games,” Nees said. “We finally had a game tonight where things went our way.”

Like never before, which the Indians, 4-4, hope will carry over to next Friday’s big game when Vandalia-Butler, 6-2, visits.

Bad stretch dooms Lehman Cavs lose to Wildcats 27-7

Buccs run over Trail Covington rolls to 70-0 win

BY BEN ROBINSON GoBuccs.com NEW PARIS — The theme all week for the Covington Buccaneers was staying focused and playing hard for 48 minutes.

And the Buccs did just that, putting together a solid week of practice and carrying that effort to the field Friday night in a 700 win over National Trail.

"We knew their (National Trail's) record and sometimes the focus can waver a bit, especially coming off some of the big games we've had the first half of the season," said Covington coach Dave Miller. "But the focus of our kids never wavered one bit. We had a good week of practice and it carried over to tonight."

The focus carried over from the opening kickoff as Covington recovered a Blazer fumble and scored on the very next play on an eight-yard run by Alex Baskerville.

National Trail then fumbled the ball over to the Buccs again on the ensuing kickoff and with just 12 seconds into the game Trent Tobias put Covington up 14-0 on a one-yard run.

The Buccs then forced a three-and-out on the next possession and Baskerville scored from 25 yards out, which made it 21-0 with less than 2:00 off the clock.

"We did what good teams are suppose to do," Miller said. "We came out and took it to them."

The onslaught continued as Covington scored twice more before the first quarter ended, both coming on Isaiah Winston runs, one from 11 yards out and the other on a 67yard run.

Leading 35-0 to start the second quarter, the Buccs kept the pedal to the medal - scoring three more times before the half.

First, Kyler Deeter capped a Buccaneer drive with a two-yard run to push the lead to 42-0.

Baskerville then followed with a 36-yard scoring jaunt and a 51-yard dash to push Covington's lead to 56-0 at the break.

The junior fullback ended his night early — along with the rest of the starters — with 147 yards on eight carries and four touchdowns.

Winston tallied 91 yards on three carries, scoring twice, while Tobias had 90 yards on five carries and a touchdown —

all coming in a 364-yard rushing effort for the Buccs in the first half.

"We talk all the time about challenging ourselves, just see how hard you can go," Miller explained. "I felt the kids went hard tonight and there wasn't a lack of effort at all."

The effort continued in the second half as the junior varsity kids took to the field.

Covington's youngsters moved the opening possession of the second half to the Blazer five, but turned the ball over on downs.

Two plays later the defense got into the scoring act as Steven Blei recovered a Blazer fumble in the end zone to push Covington's lead to 63-0.

After stuffing National Trail on the next possession, the Buccs put together an eight-minutes drive that went into the fourth quarter.

Sophomore quarterback D.J. Jennings capped the effort with a six-yard run to make the score 70-0.

"We are challenging each other in practice and a lot of that has to do with the younger kids pushing the guys ahead of them," said Miller. "It was nice to see those kids reward themselves with a nice effort in the second half."

And the effort was dominant throughout as Covington racked up 456 yards of offense — all on the ground — while National Trail tallied just 17 yards of offense and one first down.

Covington also forced six Blazer turnovers, four via fumble and two on interceptions and held a 251 advantage in first downs.

"I'm pleased with our focus and effort tonight," Miller stated. "The kids are starting to understand that this is the way we do things — go hard on every play no matter who we play."

It is the recipe for success as Covington improves to 8-0 on the season and 7-0 in the CCC. But Miller and the Buccs know things get tougher next week with Ansonia coming to town.

"Ansonia will be another challenge," said Miller. "They will be ready to play, so we'll have to pick it up another notch this week in practice and be prepared to play hard for 48 minutes of Buccaneer football."

Which is the only way the Buccs know how to do things.

Lehman’s Justin Stewart finds running room against Delphos Jefferson. of the night as four Jettinghoff passes netted 70 yards, the final being a seven-yard completion to Shayn Klinger at the 10.5second mark to make it 21-0 at the break.

“We just didn’t play well in those final minutes of the first half and it cost us,” said Lehman coach Dick Roll. “They had a couple of big runs and we didn’t respond and make the plays.”

Lehman managed just two first downs and 18 yards of offense in the opening two periods compared to 10 first downs and 254 yards for the Wildcats, 234 of those coming in the second

quarter.

The Cavalier offense lost four yards on its first series of the second half, but the second was much more successful as an Andrew Gilardi jaunt down the right sideline for 51 yards set up a first and goal on the four.

Two plays later, Skyler Brown went in from a yard out to put Lehman on the scoreboard at the 43.8-mark of the quarter.

A fumble on Jefferson’s next possession gave the Cavaliers the ball on the Wildcat 32, but Lehman could not convert and it remained 21-7 until a Miller four-yard sweep to the left put the game out

of reach with 5:09 to play.

“We had a chance to get back into the game early in the fourth quarter, but just couldn‘t come up with the big play when we needed it,” said Roll. “I ‘m proud of our effort and that we were able to win the second half, but we need to work on getting better.”

“Last week we played well on offense and struggled on defense, while tonight was the opposite.

We need to adjust and get better.”

Jefferson finished with 19 first downs and 348 total yards while holding the Cavs to six first downs and 80 yards.

SIDNEY — The final six minutes of the second quarter proved to be the difference as the Delphos Jefferson Wildcats exploded for 21 points over that span and went on to a 27-7 win over the Lehman Cavaliers Friday night at Sidney.

Lehman falls to 3-5 on the year heading into another home matchup Waynesfieldagainst Goshen next Saturday while Jefferson improves to 4-4.

After a scoreless opening period, Jefferson received the ball off a Lehman punt at the 11:07 mark of the second quarter, but the possession looked nearly over as the Wildcats faced a third and nine on their own 11.

A 49-yard burst by Quinten Wessell, however, kept the drive alive and six more running plays marched the ball down to the Lehman six.

The Cavalier defense forced a fourth and four at the nine as they tackled Zavier Buzard for a threeyard loss, but again the Wildcats came up with the big play as quarterback Austin Jettinghoff found a wide-open Tony George for a 7-0 lead with 5:35 remaining in the period.

Following a Lehman three-and-out, Jefferson extended the lead to 14-0 in just two plays, the final being a 65-yard Curtis Miller touchdown run down the right side.

Another Cavalier three and out gave the Wildcats the ball with just 1:03 left, but that was enough time for Jefferson’s third score

In the end, it came down to a missed extra point as Minster scored with 1:40 remaining to pull within 21-20, but missed the point-after.

Minster drew first blood, scoring just two minutes into the game when Daniel Gusching took a 19-yard pass from Adam Niemeyer for an early 7-0 lead.

Versailles answered back in the second quarter, however, when quarterback Nick Campbell snuck in from a yard out to tie the score at 7-7, which is how it stood at the half.

Prior to the holding call that had Enis so upset, Bradford drove 56 yards in two and a half minutes to set up a first and 10 from the Miami East 24yard line. With the Railroaders trailing by seven points, Barbee darted to the left side and though the Viking defense to what appeared to be a touchdown to make the score 27-26. But the holding call brought it back, and Miami East's defense forced two sacks and two incomplete passes in the final 29 seconds to secure the win.

While the game will go down in the record books as a win for Miami East, Enis told his players they won the game.

“We won the game,” he said. “There was no hold.

It was a perfect block.”

At the end of the night, Enis said he was proud of his team.

“They fought all the way down to the end,” he said.

Bradford fell to 3-5 with the loss while Miami East improved to 5-3.

The Railroaders will travel to Mississinawa Valley Friday night, and the Vikings will play host to Twin Valley South the same night.
