tendent of Public Instruction for the State of Ohio is an excellent accomplishment and shows continued evidence of the great student achievement occurring on a daily basis in our primary schools. Once again, Piqua has much to be proud of in the quality of Piqua City Schools.” Schools are selected and recognized based upon their high achievement in reading and mathematics despite the fact that 40 percent or more of their students come from low-income backgrounds, according to a release from the Ohio Department of Education. Students in these school met or exceeded the state standard of 75 percent passage in reading and/or mathematics for the 2010-11 school year and met the federal requirement of Adequate Yearly Progress on the report card. According to Stan W. Heffner, superintendent
of public instruction for the Ohio Department of Education, Schools of Promise in Ohio set a “strong example of what is achievable when students, educators, parents and community members come together to help all students succeed.” Each of the three schools will receive a banner to display, identifying the facility as a School of Promise.

Thousands honor MLK at memorial dedication
Wire Service
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

She was in student government, a cheerleader and ran cross country for the Cavaliers. She was a member of the Kairos Team, which led the senior religious retreat. “I loved every minute of high school,” she said. “It shaped who I am today.” During her sophomore year, Ford was influenced by her English teacher Mr. Bernot who inspired her to become an English

What: When: Where: Why:
Graphic Designer: Scarlett E. Smith
Did You Know? • a roll of newsprint is 10 miles long and weighs 2,650 pounds • the base ingredient in newspaper in is soybeans • the white space between columns of print is called the alley • a syndicate is an organization that distributes columns or features such as comics or advice columns to many different newspapers • if you draw an inverted triangle over the first paragraph of a news story, you should be able to find the answers to the questions who? what? when? and where? within the sentence or sentences indicated by the triangle.
Writing Prompt: Newspaper Article Newspaper articles require a different style of writing from what is used when writing a story. When writing a newspaper article, picture a downward pointing triangle. The newspaper article has all of the important information in the opening paragraph. This information includes who, what, when, where, why and how. It is written this way because most people do not read an entire newspaper article all the through. So newspaper writers put the most important information at the beginning. A typical newspaper article contains five (5) parts: Headline: This is a short, attention-getting statement about the event. Byline: This tells who wrote the story. Lead paragraph: This has the who, what, when, where, why and how in it. A writer must find the answers to these questions and write them into the opening sentence(s) of the article. Explanation: After the lead paragraph has been written, the writer must decide what other facts or details the reader might want to know. The writer must make sure that he/she has enough information to answer any important questions a reader might have after reading the headline and the lead paragraph. This section can also include direct quotes from witnesses or bystanders. Additional Information: This information is the least important. Thus, if the news article is too long for the space it needs to fill, it can be shortened without rewriting any other part. This part can include information about a similar event.

holding up a cheesy piece of evidence. “Well, I’ve never heard of roasting a pizza over an open fire,” one of the other invaders said. And when Felix looked at him, he could see the reflection of the campfire in his eyes. Felix thought it looked like pure evil. “Hola! Would you like some pizza?” Karol tried to be friendly. “And we also have licorice!” Felix offered. “Well, the way I see it, we’ll just take whatever we want,” Evil Eyes said. “And I don’t think there’s anything you can do to stop us.” “Perhaps I should warn you,” Hector said, trying to copy a ninja pose he saw in a movie. “I am a black belt.” “Oh, really?” the bullies challenged Hector. “Why don’t you show us your best move?” Hector swallowed hard and tried to remember some ninja moves, but the three visitors didn’t seem all that impressed. They squinted their eyes, clenched their fists and moved toward the three explorers. Right then, a Jeep pulled up and a woman wearing a green uniform jumped out. She had a clipboard and a long, metal flashlight, which brightly lit the whole campsite. “What are you niños up to?” she asked. “You know you can’t build a fire out in the open like that. This is a national park!”

A brutal war broke out between Coronado’s men and the native Americans.” – Coronado and the Golden Cities Sounds of footsteps and breaking branches scared the friends, and all three froze. Their silhouettes looked like a trio of oddly-shaped cactus plants. “Who, or what, is that?” Karol whispered. “I don’t know, but it sounds big!” Hector whispered back loudly, grabbing a thick stick sitting nearby. The sounds came closer and closer. Karol slid over by Felix and they all peered into the darkness, straining to see what was about to invade their camp. “Hey, I smell pizza!” a loud voice said as three strange boys jumped out from behind a large tree. “How did you get them to deliver all the way out here?” “Nobody delivered it. We just stuck the thawed slices onto our roasting sticks, see?” Hector said proudly,

“Sorry, ma’am,” Felix said, throwing dirt over the fire. “We were just hungry and a little cold.” “That’s OK. Just make sure you follow park rules,” she said, handing a typed list to Felix. “And is that you, Max?” she asked the evil-eyed boy. “Your mom is gonna have your hide. Does she know where you are? Get in the Jeep – I’m taking you three home!” “Yes, Tia Maria,” the boy said sheepishly. Before whisking away the bullies in her all-terrain vehicle, the ranger jotted down the names of the three young explorers, promising to let their parents know where they were camping. “Wow, that was close!” Karol said, after the uninvited guests disappeared over a hill. “I was scared.” “Not me!” Hector said. “I was just about to release some ninja terror on them!” “Yeah, thankfully you didn’t have to hurt them!” Felix winked at Karol. They both knew that Hector was just as scared, but he’d never in a million years admit it. They decided to let the ninja keep his pride. Soon after, they all settled into their sleeping bags, trying to get close to the remnants of the fire for warmth. But Felix kept thinking

about Eduardo and his little “accident,” so he kept his distance from the fire. He fell asleep with his hand clasped around the bell. The next morning, the three friends packed up their bags, buried the last remaining embers of the fire and set off toward Gallinas. They had trail mix and licorice for breakfast. “So, where is this gold you speak of?” Felix asked, in his best conquistador voice. “I told you, it’s in Gallinas, and we’re almost there,” Hector said, walking ahead of Felix and Karol. He rubbed the gold coin he had hidden in his pocket for luck. As they walked into Gallinas, Felix’s excitement grew. “Now we’ll find a golden treasure, just like Coronado!” “What did he find on his expedition?” Karol asked Felix. “Um, I don’t know. I haven’t actually gotten that far in the book yet,” Felix said, a little embarrassed. Little did the three explorers know, Coronado never found any gold. In fact, he was sometimes referred to as the “cursed” conquistador.

Kolak also discussed the steps that will be taken to secure groundwater and soil sampling through the months of November and December along with vapor intrusion monitoring and the next steps to be taken in the superfund process cleanup. The area of investigation is bounded to the north by the Miami River, south by Race Drive, west by Market Street and Williams Street finishes the square to the east. “There’s some source out here that is contributing to the groundwater contamination,” said Kolak on the investigation to determine how wide of an area the contaminate, or plume, encompasses and the source. The primary contaminates in this plume are PCE (Tetrachloroethylene) and TCE (Trichloroethylene) both man-made chemicals with the former having been commonly used in the past for dry cleaning clothes and degreasing metal with the latter a non-flammable, colorless liquid with a sweet odor and sweet burning taste. TCE is likewise a grease remover for metals and can also be found in glues, paint removers, typewriter correction fluids and spot removers. “These chemicals tend to vaporize easily and get into the air,” said
Kolak as she explained how the chemicals enter into the groundwater, travel through soil that is sandy or loose and then enters a home through cracks in foundations or into basements with dirt floors or concrete slabs. Back in 2006 and 2007 the agency had sent out 400 letters to residents, businesses and schools in regards to testing and only received 85 responses. “We didn’t really get a lot of turn out during that time, but we’re hoping this time is different,” said Kolak and that samples from those tests showed the presence of PCE or TCE above health standards in 17 homes and in one school which led to the installment of vapor abatement systems. A vapor abatement system is similar to a radon mitigation system that prevents gases in the soil from entering homes by applying a low amount of suction below the foundation and venting the vapors outside. The agency believes a possible pocket of contaminant in the soil has, overtime, been released via rainwater, which has led to the need for more testing. Broken into two phases, phase one began with a remedial investigation in 2010 that consisted of testing ground and surface water and river sediment and will include further water, soil, vapor intrusion and sewer investigations from now into early winter of 2012. As testing is free of charge, residents are encouraged to sign-up for sampling with the agency more than willing to work around schedules. The testing process is minimal with two separate, quarter-size holes drilled into cement floors that takes less than an hour with 30 minutes for connection of testing canisters on the following day. By day three canisters will be retrieved which should take less than 15 minutes. In terms of becoming ill from ex-
posure to PCE and TCE is dependent on several factors, from the dose of exposure, duration, frequency and an individual’s general health, age and lifestyle so that the very young and elderly, or those with chronic health conditions, may be more at risk. “I think it’s safe to say that if we weren’t concerned that there is a potential problem we wouldn’t be here holding this meeting,” said Blasio on the potential health risks and that the agency would like to get into more homes to, “Make sure people are safe in their own homes.” Blasio emphasised this is not meant to be alarmist in nature with the area’s finished drinking water not affected. As Robert Frey chief of the Health Assessment Section of the Ohio Department of Health also stated in regards to the studies that began in 2006, “The public health concern wasn’t the drinking water as much as it was the potential for this vapor intrusion to occur.” In fact, it has only been within the last five to six years, according to Frey, that they became aware of vapor intrusions. “It’s one of those things where we didn’t have anybody complaining about health issues or odors or anything like that,” said Frey but rather that the agencies became aware of the potential concern and that, “The situation in Troy warranted a further investigation and that’s what we did in 2006 and 2007.” “This is why we want to sample the houses,” said Blasio. “To make sure that people don’t get sick eventually from it.” For more information visit: www.epa.gov/region5/cleanup/troyv oc or call the lead U.S. EPA agency at 312-886-6151 or 312-886-4360.

Girl Scouts: A new generation of leaders Editor’s Note: This is a continuation of a series of articles reviewing local agencies that benefit from the United Way dollars. The Piqua United Way 2011 campaign is currently underway. Donations collected in Piqua will stay in Piqua to assist a variety of agencies. PIQUA — Imagine a new generation of leaders who lead in a new way, who lead by principle rather than pride, who care what leadership is for — more than who it’s for — who step across barriers of class and race every day, who seek out the work that needs doing in the world, and bring boundless energy to every challenge. They are today’s Girl Scouts. There is only one qualification to be a Girl Scout. You have to be a girl. That’s it. One girl can make a difference and girls together can change the world The Girl Scout Leadership Experience gives young women the confidence and the tools to lead. Funding from the Piqua Area United Way allows 500 girls from Piqua to be part of the Girl Scout Leadership Experience. Leadership experiences for girls are what make Girl Scouting unique. The Girl Scout Leadership Experience engages girls in discovering themselves, connecting with others and taking action to make the world a better place. Every girl discovers who she can be and what she can do, wherever she

They learn by doing and the learning is cooperative, not competitive. To discover what they can do, girls need to participate in opportunities as varied as the world — so that they can try on different leadership roles and grow into the ones that fit them best. Girl Scouting provides these opportunities. Girls in grade levels K—12 can join Girl Scouts. Each level of membership offers new, fun and exciting experiences and discoveries. The grade levels are: • Daisies: Grades K-1 • Brownies: Grades 2-3 • Juniors: Grades 4-5 • Cadettes: Grades 6-8 • Seniors: Grades 9-10 • Ambassadors: Grades 11-12 As girls progress in Girl Scouts, they gain new skills and experiences.
The longer girls participate, the more they gain from their experience. Girls can become involved in scouting in a variety of ways. It is recognized that different girls have different personal strengths, skills and interests and offer flexibility for the scouts and parents to determine how they will participate in the program. Pathways include troops, camp, events, series and/or travel. Recently, six local eighth grade girls received the Girl Scout Silver Award for developing and completing an endeavor they called the Piqua Girls Club Project. Caring about their community, they set out to make a difference. They discovered from other girls that bullying was an issue in their community and that a safe place for girls to “hang out” would be beneficial. Using a
room at the YWCA, they created a club with organized activities. They also volunteered at the YWCA and cleaned the preschool and cooked for a membership award dinner. In addition, the six girls organized a self defense event and volunteered for the recent Girls on the Run 5K race. Connecting with other girls and volunteering for a variety of organizations, the girls took action to make their world a better place. Now is the perfect time to join Girl Scouting, as Girl Scouts is celebrating its 100th Anniversary this year. Girl Scouts also welcomes adults as members because girls need access to wise adults who both inspire and respect them. There are many flexible ways to participate as an adult leader.

benefit United Way
PIQUA — The Backyard Bistro and the Piqua Area United Way are partnering in a promotion to benefit the United Way from Monday, Oct. 24 through Saturday, Oct. 29. The restaurant will donate 10 percent of their profits from this week to help the 25 agencies that the Piqua Area United Way supports. The Backyard Bistro offers breakfast, lunch and dinner and specializes in daily homemade entrees and soups prepared by Chef Gwen and her trained staff. Meet your friends for lunch, bring your family for dinner and enjoy the atmosphere that is the Backyard Bistro and support the United Way while you are doing it. The Backyard Bistro
opened its doors in November 2004. Unlike most restaurants, “the Bistro” was formed as a non-profit corporation. According to Chef Gwen, the first goal is to “provide guests with the best in-house prepared, high-quality food possible.” A close second is their belief in charitable giving. Therefore, they work closely with the United Way because the United Way supports programming for youth and children, a cause near to the hearts of the Bistro’s founders. Stop in today and support our Piqua Area United Way. The Bistro is located at 1876 Commerce Dr. (across from Evenflo) or call 615-9554. Hours are 7:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday.

Merit pay for Ohio teachers called bad idea E
ver notice how some concepts sound so simple in theory but end up being so darn complicated in practice? “Prohibition” is one. The theory said outlawing alcohol would eliminate America’s perceived social ills at the time. But as Ken Burns’ recent documentary on the subject shows, the devil ended up being in the details. The result of the 18th amendment to the U.S. Constitution was the destruction of what was then the fifth largest industry in America with it’s concurrent loss of government revenues, the loss of tens of thousands of jobs, and the rise of “rum runners” which was the beginning of organized crime mobs. Prohibition ended up causing as many problems as before, if not more, and it was eventually repealed. I can’t help but wonder about the concept of “merit pay” for schoolteachers being pushed by the party in power here in Ohio. While certainly not in the same league as alcohol, it is one of those devilishly simple sounding concepts. Compensation will be based on performance and not traditional pay scales where a teacher’s pay goes up a bit for each year of gained experience. Performance will be “measured” and merit pay given based on how well students perform on tests, a parent survey component, and administrator GARY OGG evaluations. The devil here Columnist will be in the details. First, there is the issue of raw materials. Children are human beings, not data-spewing machines. As such they are hugely influenced by factors well outside the grasp and influence of teachers. Students spend about 17 percent of their waking hours in school through graduation. The other 83 percent is heavily affected by any number of sociological and environmental factors (family structures, food/nutrition, heath care, neighborhoods, etc.). Manufacturers control the quality of the steel coming into their factories so perhaps their employees can be measured on the quality of the goods made. As a teacher, I would not want to be paid according to a product I must produce unless I have total control over the quality of the raw material to begin with. Children of all ages are notorious for not doing what adults want them to do. Consider the taskmaster middle school teacher when test time comes around and he/she tells his/her students to do their very best because his/her lively hood depends on their performance? When statewide 6th grade proficiency testing was first implemented in the mid-90s, some of the students in my school chose to make designs on their answers sheets. Secondly, parents tend to rate teachers higher/more effective if their children “like” their teacher. Using that middle school taskmaster as an example, just what do you think will be said on his/her parent feedback survey? Then there is the third issue of administrator evaluations. Effective teaching is truly in the eye of the beholder in this regard and there is no standardization for evaluation among the hundreds of principal preparation programs. And care must be taken regarding administrator bias and prejudices. Prior to collective bargaining, I once had a colleague who was fired because he was told he did not frequent the town’s local businesses as much as he should have (he lived elsewhere). School’s move forward and student achievement improves when a strong sense of collaboration/sharing exists amongst teachers and staff. Way back in the 1980s, I researched merit pay and the handful of schools around the country experimenting with it. It was conclusively shown that when folks were put in direct competition for limited resources (meaning money), human nature kicked in, collaboration ended and achievement declined. I am not aware of any district in the country that effectively uses a compensation system exclusively based on performance. Yet Ohio wants to implement it statewide. If indeed the concept of pay for performance will lead to higher student achievement, then I suggest it be applied to other industries as well. The medical field comes to mind. The United States pays 16 percent of its GDP for medical care, the most of any developed country. But according to the World Health Organization, we don’t break the top 10 in any category measuring the health of our citizens. Yet doctors are compensated for how many people they can see in a day or how many surgical procedures they can perform in year regardless of whether or not their patients heal or die. Pay for performance sounds seductively simple so the party in power is rushing headlong to adopt it. The devil will again be in the details and there will be many unintended consequences.

Letters to the Editor
Residents: Don’t pass up opportunity To the Editor: An “opportunity of a lifetime” — a phrase that aptly describes the current Piqua City Schools bond issue. Never before have the residents of the Piqua School District had such an opportunity — to receive 47 percent of the funds needed to build three new, up-to-date and essential schools right here in Piqua. The homework has been done. A cross section of Piqua citizens studied the issues, looked at the existing buildings and weighed all of the options. The plan presented is well reasoned and makes sound financial sense. We can spend millions over the next 5-10 years to consolidate and repair deteriorating buildings OR we can leverage the significant funds made available from the State of Ohio to replace those buildings.
Consider also that almost every school district around us has taken advantage of state funds to build new schools. Piqua’s plan calls for less than 5 mills – the lowest of any other district for a comparable number of buildings. Small towns don’t always get the chance to share in state fund allocations, but Piqua has that chance now. These are not merely buildings. They are the places where our children and teachers will spend nine months out of each year. By approving the bond issue, we will have schools that are safe and secure, with upto-date technology and efficient to maintain. Don’t our children and teachers deserve the best schools? We believe that they do. —Mike and Elizabeth Gutmann Piqua
Vote ‘yes’; be ‘Proud to be a Piquad’ To the Editor: If we are “Proud To Be An American,” we must honor our way of life by voting. It is a generational responsibility. It says that we care about all that is “American.” Supporting our way of life means paying taxes. Taxes are merely pooled money for agreed-to priorities to maintain and advance our uniquely caring American civilization. Nothing is free and you get what you pay for. We need an educated populace to secure our American civilization. Our next generation needs the best education possible to have the wisdom to make decisions that will directly affect the stability of our country. Our future is in their hands. Our next generation can’t help us unless we help them. It is simply in our self-interest to do so — money well spent. And remember, their competition is a global priority that allows the able to advance scholastically — free. Quality education is the least we can do for our American youth. They must qualify for the jobs of tomorrow. Our economic survival directly depends on their education. Our Piqua school levy is truly a unique opportunity. It is wise to accept
the state funds for 47 percent of the cost and the very low interest loans for our share. Decreasing the number of elementary school buildings from eight to three and having these three new buildings built with new technology will save money — millions over the years (less maintenance and more energy efficient). This will allow more money to go to directly aiding students and teachers. It’s a matter of decreasing quantity to increase quality — all kinds of quality. And remember, these very old building will cost us millions more to replace in the future. Let’s be wise and practical — and grab up these rare state funds. Let’s say “yes” for Piqua. We can’t “not” afford it. Think of the future. We can do this. Money for education is never money wasted. It pays for itself easily in our lifetime. Our present adult generation has been well educated and thus wise enough to support our school levies in the past. Let’s not let ourselves down. To educate well is to assure continuance of our American civilization. Let’s make “Be Proud To Be An American” include “Proud to Be A Piquad.” —Bill and Patty Vogt Piqua
Reader wants ‘new blood’ to gain seats
To the Editor: In response to Chris and Arlene Evans letter supporting Lucy Fess: She is one of the reasons “we” do not have a Skateboard Park for our children — she is like Bill Vogt and others who “talk the talk but don’t “walk the talk.” A vote for her is a vote for “business as usual.” Do yourselves a favor and vote for new blood. —Soldier Fish ernment-issued ID before casting balPiqua lots.

Doing this also let’s them to pass laws favorable to their getting re-elected by curtailing voter turnout in the future, which benefit Dems.

In this image released by Paramount Pictures, a scene is shown from the film “Paranormal Activity 3.”
‘Paranormal Activity 3’ scares up huge $54M debut CHRISTY LEMIRE AP Movie Critic LOS ANGELES (AP) — “Paranormal Activity 3” didn’t just go bump in the night. It made a ton of noise at the box office with a record-setting, $54 million opening. The third film in Paramount Pictures’ low-budget fright franchise, which was No. 1 at the box office, had the biggest debut ever for a horror movie, according to Sunday studio estimates. It broke the previous record part two set a year ago with $40.7 million. It’s also the biggest opening ever for an October release, topping the $50.35 million Paramount’s “Jackass 3D” made last year. “Paranormal Activity 3” is actually a prequel, with the discovery of disturbing home-movie footage from 1988. Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman, who made the creepy documentary “Catfish,” took over directing duties this time. Don Harris, Paramount’s president of distribution, said the studio hoped part three would simply perform better than part two. The first “Paranormal Activity,” with its reported $15,000 budget, became a phenomenon in 2009 through midnight screenings and word of mouth. Harris believes this installment did so well because it’s actually the best movie of the three. He noted that it appealed to an older crowd,

$153.3 million. Among the other new releases this week, Summit Entertainment’s 3-D version of “The Three Musketeers” came in fourth place with $8.8 million. And Universal’s “Johnny English Reborn,” a sequel to the 2003 spy parody starring Rowan Atkinson, opened at No. 8 with $3.8 million. But it’s already a huge hit internationally, having made $104.5 million so far. In limited release, the critically acclaimed psychological thriller “Martha Marcy May Marlene” made $137,541 on four screens in New York and Los Angeles. That’s a hefty $34,385 per screen average, according to Fox Searchlight. Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to Hollywood.com. Where available, latest international numbers are also included. Final domestic figures will be released Monday. 1. “Paranormal Activity 3,” $54 million. 2. “Real Steel,” $11.3 million. 3. “Footloose,” $10.85 million. 4. “The Three Musketeers,” $8.8 million. 5. “The Ides of March,” $4.9 million. 6. “Dolphin Tale,” $4.2 million. 7. “Moneyball,” $4.05 million. 8. “Johnny English Reborn,” $3.8 million.

with 47 percent over the age of 25 compared to 40 percent for “Paranormal Activity 2.” Strong reviews also helped, he said, including a rave from Time magazine. And fundamentally, horror movies simply play better in a packed theater. “Ultimately, it gets back to why there’s still a theatrical business, why people still go to the movies,” Harris said. “We want to laugh in a group, we want to be scared in a group, people like to cry in a group in the dark where nobody can see them crying. It’s all the reason movie theaters exist and this genre has always been front and center.” Paul Dergarabedian, box-office analyst for Hollywood.com, said he was expecting “Paranormal Activity 3” to come in around $35 million for the weekend, simply because most newcomers have been underperforming this fall. “This brand is as solid as the ‘Twilight’ brand or the ‘Jackass’ brand. There are certain brands that just transcend any kind of box-office rhyme or reason. They just resonate,” Dergarabedian said. “These are shot in someone’s house, they look like they’re shot with a home video recorder, and people just relate to it.” Last week’s No. 1 release, the futuristic boxing robot adventure “Real Steel,” fell to second place. It made $11.3 million for a domestic total of $67.2 million. Worldwide, the Disney movie has grossed
The 2010 Rosenblum Cup Open Knockout Teams, held in Philadelphia last October as part of the 13th World Bridge Series, was won by John Diamond, Fred Gitelman, Eric Greco, Geoff Hampson, Brad Moss and Brian Platnick. They defeated Nick Nickell’s manytimes world- and national-champion squad by 43 IMPs in the 64-deal final. The two finalists were the survivors of a 145-
team field that had begun play nearly two weeks earlier. The victory by the relatively young Diamond group represented a passing of the torch from the older Nickell team, which had dominated U.S. and international bridge for more than a decade. The deal shown amounted to the final nail in the coffin of the losers, coming when the Nickell squad was attempting to overcome a 21-IMP deficit during the final 16 deals. When Bob Hamman and Zia Mahmood held the North-South cards, they reached the tenuous contract of six hearts as shown. It appears that declarer must guess which way to take the heart finesse to make the slam, but Zia found a way to get around that problem. He won the opening spade lead with the king, led a diamond to the ace, played the ace of spades and ruffed a spade. Next came the king of diamonds and a diamond

DEAR ABBY: Two years ago, my friend of more than 30 years was being married for the first time. Three days before the ceremony, “Caryn’s” wedding p1anner emailed all the guests, saying the wedding was canceled. No explanation was given, and we were asked to “respect the bride’s privacy” and refrain from contacting her. I waited a week, then sent Caryn a note saying I was thinking about her. I had given her two shower gifts and a wedding present a month in advance. Caryn has not returned the gifts. I didn’t expect to get the lingerie back, but I did expect that the expensive tableware would be returned to me. In subsequent phone conversations — and emails and texts — she has never mentioned the gifts. Should I tell her I’d like my gift back or let it drop? Obviously, it’s bothering me, but if you tell me I should forget about it, I will. — DISGRUNTLED FRIEND IN CALIFORNIA

Happy Halloween. I have always really enjoyed this holiday, ever since the third grade. That was when we did our Halloween-themed puppet show in Mrs. Kiser’s class. To say I wowed the crowd to close the show as the puppet version of Michael Jackson in Thriller would be an understatement, but the entire show was a blast, which is likely why I remember so much of it to this day. Boomer Schmidt did the Monster Mash, and everyone participated in some sort of sketch. We had witches, skeletons, spiders, pumpkins — all the stuff that really gets you fired up for Halloween as a kid. This stuff still fires me up today, all because of Mrs. Kiser’s third grade class. Some odds and ends from the Covington Chamber of Commerce: Plans are being finalized for the Covington Candlelight Christmas on Nov. 11, 12, 18, and 19. They still need one volunteer for the Tour of Homes, so if you’re interested, call Tom Carder at 753-1091.

year, Miller established a “school leadership team.” Miller and a group of staff members, nominated by their peers for their leadership abilities, meet once a month and “talk about anything that can help make CHS the best it can be,” he said. “It could be policies and procedures, or just day-today operations that could be improved.” While he has other ideas for innovation, Miller stressed getting used to the school and its culture, while mentioning that there is no need to reinvent the wheel. “This is an excellent building with excellent teachers,” he added. When I asked him to sum up his experience in Covington so far, Miller went straight to his colleagues and the community. “It sounds silly, but I’m living the dream,” he explained. “I love it here It has been great working with David [Larson], Mr. Fry, and Mr. Long. It is a really solid administration team and all four are committed to doing what is best for the students. “The school board has been supportive and welcoming. Mr. Larson did a great job of selecting (administrative) candidates who are a good fit, and who share similar beliefs. I don’t think we’ve missed a beat.” Call 418-7428 or email callingaroundcovington@gmail.com to put your event in this column.

his office last week. “This is where we wanted to raise our family. It wasn’t just about the job.” After starting his career as a high school teacher, Miller said he is enjoying his “return to roots” of sorts. And as for being one of the newest Buccaneers, he sounded pretty amped up describing it. “I’m proud to be a Buccaneer,” he said. “It’s very exciting and very fun to be a part of the outstanding tradition. It’s nice to be a part of something like that. You have great teachers, great kids, great coaches, and tremendous community support, all working toward one goal. And when you have that, it is special. It is special for me and my family.” As Rick Fry and Josh Long have discussed, the normal day of a hands-on principal can get pretty hectic. I felt lucky that Mr. Miller was able to chat during school hours, and it came as no surprise to hear that spare time is difficult to come by. “I start my day making sure kids get here safely, observing traffic and buses,” Miller mentioned. “After I check my email, I am out and about in the building, making classroom visits or hanging out with kids at lunch. And then, you are just dealing with what comes next. And it can be unpredictable at times.” At the beginning of the

HOROSCOPE Monday, Oct. 24, 2011 Flow with events, because significant changes can be made in the year ahead that could carry you to new areas of opportunity that you might never find otherwise. These alterations will trigger unique developments. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — A devious co-worker who picks up on your reluctance to make waves will try to use it against you. Stand up for your rights rather than be trampled upon. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Take extra care not to inadvertently butt into a conversation that isn’t any of your business. Even if you have an excellent suggestion for parties involved, they’ll resent your interference. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Handle all involvements that could reflect on your reputation in as skillful a manner as you can muster. Improper behavior would leave stains difficult to eradicate. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — It behooves you to plan your day wisely so that you do not waste valuable time on things that could turn out to be of small or no consequence. Focus on meaningful activities. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — When you want to be, you can be pretty shrewd in telling a good deal from a bum steer. Get your head out of the clouds in order to keep your vision clear. ARIES (March 21-April 19) — If you and your partner are not in accord over a major decision that has to be made, a major battle could ensue. Hold off until the situation changes or one of you is ready to compromise. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Get your priorities in order, or you could end up working rather hard at something that has little promise, while turning your back on a great opportunity. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — You could have your priorities mixed up by ignoring a sure thing, while squandering your assets on something that is known to be a bad risk. CANCER (June 21-July 22) — If it seems like everyone is giving you a bad time, they could merely be reacting to your behavior. However, it isn’t likely you’ll be lonely — misery loves company. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — There are all kinds of warning signals surrounding you, concerning numerous complications of your own making. Be extra mindful of both what you do and what you fail to do. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — It behooves you to conduct all your financial affairs in a forthright, friendly manner. If you act too tough or display too much greed in business matters, you’ll drive people away. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Although you’re pretty good at making deals, you could run into someone who is even better. Don’t underestimate your competition in any circumstances.

Lehman’s Nick Cummons makes a tackle for a safety Saturday night.
Spartans win on final play EAST LANSING, Mich. (AP) — This was a thrilling finish Mark Dantonio could really enjoy. Keith Nichol's 44-yard touchdown catch on the last play of the game — after a heave by Kirk Cousins and a bounce off a Michigan State teammate — gave the Spartans a 37-31 victory over Wisconsin on Saturday night.

Browns get ugly win Cleveland gets past Seattle 6-3 CLEVELAND (AP) — In 13 turbulent seasons with the Browns, kicker Phil Dawson has learned all wins — the good, bad and ugly — are to be savored. No matter the blemishes, they're all beauties. Even Sunday's fieldgoal snoozer. Dawson converted two field goals over 50 yards and had two others blocked, but booted Cleveland to a a dull 6-3 win over the sloppy Seattle Seahawks, who came in missing starting quarterback Tarvaris Jackson and lost running back Marshawn Lynch to a back injury during pregame warmups. "We'll take this one," Dawson said. "We're probably not going to brag about it in 15 years, but we'll take the win." The Browns (3-3) didn't reach the end zone, but Dawson bailed them out with kicks of 52 and 53 yards, his first career game with two makes over 50. Despite weeks of drama and injuries for first-year coach Pat Shurmur, Cleveland has a .500 record after six games for just the fourth time since its 1999 expansion rebirth. "Whew, huh?" Shurmur said, opening his news conference. "You do what you have to do to win the game." The Seahawks (2-4) couldn't do much. They managed 137 yards of offense, and Seattle had the ball for only 17:04. Backup Charlie quarterback Whitehurst, filling in for Jackson, completed 12 of 30 passes for 97 yards and couldn't get the Seahawks moving at all. Making matter worse, Seattle was penalized eight times, and its biggest play was called back by a penalty as Leon Washington's 81-yard punt return for a TD in the third quarter was nullified by a blocking-in-theback infraction — one of several mistakes the young team made that annoyed coach Pete Carroll. "It was a very difficult

Cleveland receiver Mohamed Massaquoi dives for a first down Sunday. loss," said Carroll, who also had some issues with referee Mike's Carey's crew. "The guys took it hard. It was really close. The margin of error became a factor that amplified every call and every play. Unfortunately, we couldn't get enough going to get the win." Carroll didn't blame the officials, but he wants to take a closer look at a few calls. "When a game is this close, a call can make a difference," Carroll said. "Whether they did or not, we'll see the film and take a look. In this game, those calls are magnified. I kind of hope they're right, to tell you the truth. I hope they made the right choices because it's pretty hard to live with if they didn't." Dawson's 53-yard field goal with 11:18 left gave the Browns a 6-3 lead, and the 36-year-old was set to give Cleveland a six-point lead but his 24-yard attempt with 3:05 left was swatted away by Seahawks defensive end Red Bryant, who earlier blocked a 48-yarder in the first quarter. However, Seattle couldn't move the ball as Whitehurst had four incompletions and had a pass dropped on the Seahawks' final possession. In the final minute, a frustrated Bryant was ejected for head-butting Cleveland tight end Alex
Smith. "Dumb move on my part," Bryant said. "I take full responsibility for it. I'm supposed to be a leader. I lost my composure. You never know what could have happened if we got the ball back on offense. He (Smith) was talking the whole game. He was taking cheap shots at me. That's what guys do when they can't block you." The Seahawks' only points came on a 20-yard field goal by Steven Hauschka in the third quarter. Other than that, their offense was abysmal. "We never got going," Carroll said. The victory was forgettable on so many levels, but the Browns will gladly take it. Earlier in the week, team president Mike Holmgren, who took over in Cleveland after 10 seasons in Seattle, had to defend Shurmur's early performance and pleaded patience from Browns fans. Shurmur's West Coast offense remains a work in progress, but quarterback Colt McCoy managed the game, made a few plays and protected Cleveland's slim lead in the final minutes. "I don't feel we are regressing," Shurmur said of the offensive woes. "They (Seahawks) have a pretty good defense. We just need to get more points." The Browns defense did
their part. Dawson did the rest. "Phil's a stud," Shurmur said. Seattle's chances took a big hit before kickoff, when Lynch, the team's leading rusher and top offensive weapon, had back spasms. Lynch remained on the sideline and at one point appeared ready to enter the game. "He's had an ongoing thing with his back since he arrived with us," Carroll said. "It came up right before game time and he couldn't get loose. We tried to work with him the whole game and keep him going. He was about ready to take a shot at going after it, but he had sat too long." The Browns played without running back Peyton Hillis (hamstring) and lost wide receiver Mohamed Massaquoi and tight end Benjamin Watson to concussions. Also, starting right guard Shawn Lauvao injured his right knee and Shurmur said the second-year player will undergo an MRI on Monday. Running back Montario Hardesty started for Hillis and had 33 carries for 95 yards. He also caught two passes and didn't drop a pass — a problem for him the past two weeks. Notes: Seahawks starting CB Walter Thurmond broke his leg and is done for the season.

Lehman Continued from page 13 but still trailing 12-8. Hennin scored from a yard out to make it 18-8, but Lehman came back when Davis connected again, this time to Joe Vondenhuevel from 56 yards out. The Cavs converted on the two-point try, Davis hitting Kristopher Lee for
an 18-16 score. But Hennon was too much as he added another touchdown, a four-yard surge through the Lehman line, to make it 26-16. Davis for Lehman was not quite through, however, as he threw a perfect ball in the hands of An-
drew Adams, then kept the ball on a two-point try to cut the lead to 26-24. But that was as close as the Cavs could come. The Cavs got the ball back after forcing Waynesfield into a three-and-out, but Waynesfield picked off its second pass of the game to preserve the win.
“Im proud that we fought back in the second half. We made it a really good game," said Lehman coach Dick Roll. Lehman had 304 yards of total offense, 175 was through the air in large part to Davis. Waynesfield had 330 total yards.

Lehman, Russia, East win sectionals Lady Cavaliers going for 19th straight district title TIPP CITY — In Tippecanoe D-IV volleyball action, Lehman handled a badly overmatched Mechanicsburg team 25-4, 25-6, 25-13. Lehman, 21-3, will go for its 19th straight district title Saturday, playing Seven Hills at 3 p.m. at Troy High School. “This was the most focused we have been in awhile,” Lehman coach Greg Snipes said. “So, I was happy to see that.” From the time Paxton Hatcher smashed the ball to the floor on the opening point of the match, the Lady Indians had no answer for Lehman’s middles. “Our middles pretty much dominated today,” Snipes said. The Lady Cavaliers used a balanced attack to open leads of 15-2 in the opening game and 14-3 in the second game. Lehman emptied the bench in the third game, but still won comfortably. “You want the starters to get into a chemistry,” Snipes said. “At the same time, you want to get some younger players in there. I thought we did a good job of both things.” Andrea Thobe had nine kills and dished out 14 assists, while Ellie Waldsmith added eight kills. Hatcher and Olivia Slagle both had four kills, while Ellie Cain dished out 14 assists and three kills and Erica Paulus added eight digs.
Newton girls lose TIPP CITY — Newton’s impressive sectional tournament run came to an end Saturday with a loss to Fort Loramie, 25-14, 258, 25-10 in a Division IV sectional final at Tippecanoe High School.

The Lady Raiders will look for their third win over Jackson Center when the two play in a Troy DIV district final at noon Saturday. Against Riverside, Monnin pounded five kills on the first six points, forcing a Riverside timeout and the Pirates were never really able to right the ship. “She (Olivia Monnin) was dominant at the start,” Russia coach Todd Wion said. “Riverside is a good team and I am sure Tori Thompson will be up for District 9 Player of the Year. But, we came out playing with a lot of emotion tonight.” It was even more so in the second game. Five kills by Monnin, one each from Maggie

During the run, Goubeaux had an ace and freshman Kylie Wilson and Taylor Daniel had three kills each. “Sometimes, volleyball is like a chess game,” Wion said. “And tonight, we were making all the right moves.” The third game was a battle, before a block by York and kill by Ashley Borchers finished off the match. “Not to take anything away from them, but I thought we let up a little,” Wion said. Monnin had 17 kills and 10 digs, while Ashley Borchers had seven kills, 19 assists and eight digs. Francis had 17 assists and nine digs, while Goubeaux had 23 digs. Daniel had six kills and York added five for Russia, 18-6.
Buccs lose in four Covington volleyball coach Lindsey Sullenberger was concerned before her team’s match ever started with Southeastern Saturday night in a Piqua Division IV sectional final. “I just had the feeling we weren’t ready to play,” she said. “We (Sullenberger and assistant coach Alex Christian) were talking about that during warmups. They just weren’t ready to play.” In spite of that, three of the four sets were nailbiters before Covington had its season end with a
24-26, 25-18, 25-23, 25-22 loss to the Trojans. In the opening set, it was Shelby Kihm stepping up in the clutch. With Covington trailing 24-22, Kihm had a kill to keep the Lady Buccs alive. After Southeastern’s return was long on Sami Snyder’s serve to tie it, Snyder served out the set, with Kihm adding two more kills. “Shelby (Kihm) has been stepping up for us,” Sullenberger said. “The problem is, the other team adjusts and nobody else steps up.” While the second set was a struggle for Covington, as Southeastern evened things, the Lady Buccs had opportunities in the third and fourth games. In the third set, two kills and three aces by Caitlyn Crawford helped Covington take a 10-6 lead. A tip by Morgan Arbogast put them ahead 1713 and they were still up 20-17 following a Kihm kill. But, Southeastern would outscore them 8-3 down the stretch for a 2523 win, including the final two points after Covington had tied it on a Haley Reames serve. It was more of the same in the fourth game. Crawford had seven kills to help Covington take a 12-9 lead. Two points by Shelby Waag, including a Kihm kill, two kills by Crawford and another by Kihm on Crawford’s serve gave the Lady Buccs a 22-20 lead, before Southeastern finished off the match with five straight points.
Welcome to the neighborhood
“Caitlyn (Crawford) was having success,” Sullenberger said. But, as soon as she rotated to the back row, we struggled.” Covington finished the season with a 13-12 record. “I would say we are about semi there on the mentality we need,” Sullenberger said after her second season as coach. “We will get there. You have to be ready to play every night.” Crawford had 24 kills, four aces and eight digs, while Kihm added 15 kills and two blocks. Hannah Pond had four aces and 12 digs, Reames added 10 digs and Waag dished out 40 assists.

After serving the first eight points, the thought entered Abby Cash’s mind of her shutout game in the first round of the sectional tournament. “I did (think of that),” the Miami East junior said. “I was really hoping I could do it again, but I knew the team we were facing today was a lot better than that.” But not many teams have been able to withstand the Vikings’ relentless barrage this season. No matter how many stunning saves MiltonUnion made, Miami East just kept hammering

Pujols has big night Hits three homers in win over Texas ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Albert Pujols began the game hoping to shake his slump and maybe get a hit. He did that, and a whole lot more: He produced the defining game of his monster career, and perhaps the greatest hitting performance in World Series history. Pujols launched three long homers, drove in six runs and finished with five hits — tying Series records with each accomplishment — as the St. Louis Cardinals romped past the Texas Rangers 16-7 on Saturday night for a 2-1 edge. "Just pretty special," he said. The three-time NL MVP matched Babe Ruth and Reggie Jackson for the most home runs in a game, connecting on fastballs from three different pitchers. Pujols added two singles and set a Series mark with 14 total bases. "Hopefully, at the end of my career, I can look back and say, 'Wow, what a game it was in Game 3 in 2011," Pujols said. And to think, his night began with a groundout that left him 0 for 7 against Texas "I mean, with Babe and Reggie, that's pretty good company right there," Cardinals manager Tony La Russa said. The outburst by Pujols came a day after he was barbed by the media for not sticking around to talk about a Game 2 error and loss. This time, everyone was talking about him. "When the opportunity presents itself to put him on the bag, I'm not going to let him swing the bat," Texas manager Ron Washington said. "But tonight, we just couldn't get the ball out of the middle of the plate and up, and he just didn't miss. "I saw him on TV but I'll tell you, tonight was something special." The Cardinals mashed their way to the highest-
scoring game in their storied postseason history, breaking away after first base umpire Ron Kulpa's admitted blown call. After two taut games in St. Louis, this suddenly turned into a messy slugfest. Pujols, the most feared slugger in the majors, was right in the middle — he became the first player in Series history to get hits in four straight innings. So much for any worries about Pujols making a dent. "I was hitting the ball hard, but I wasn't getting any hits," he said. "But all it takes is one good game. I got five hits, what are they going to say about it?" Texas fans booed after Kulpa's miss helped the Cardinals score four times in the fourth for a 5-0 lead. The crowd at Rangers Ballpark went silent when Pujols started swinging for the fences, and beyond. His three-run shot in the sixth rattled the windows of the club level high above left field. Game 4 is Sunday night, with Derek Holland starting for the Rangers against Edwin Jackson. It will be the back half of a St. Louis-Texas style doubleheader — earlier in the day, the Rams play the Dallas Cowboys right across the parking lot. This game had an NFL score, too. The teams combined for 23 runs and 28 hits — at Busch Stadium, they teamed for eight runs and 23 hits in two games. "You leave a ball up in this park it's going to carry a little more than it does in St. Louis," Pujols said. Pujols joined Ruth, who hit three homers in games against the Cardinals in 1926 and 1928, and Jackson's three-homer show against the Dodgers in 1977. "It's an honor to be named in the same category as those guys," Pujols said.

can say.” And Reinke seemed to have a little extra velocity on her swings Saturday, which she did not deny. She was determined to make the return trip to district, where Piqua will play the Mount NotreDame-Kings winner at 4 p.m. Saturday at Springboro High School. “I think there is that sense of urgency,” Reinke said when asked about the force behind her swings. And, like the first meeting with Butler, it was Piqua making the big plays at key times to beat the Aviators in straight games. “When we beat them in the tournament last year, it was the first time since 2000,” junior outside hitter Shelby Vogler said. “I think it did (change the way Piqua looks at Vandalia). We are not intimidated and maybe they are a little. When it gets to 20 points, we know what have to do.” The first set was never really in doubt, as Piqua opened a 22-11 lead behind the hitting of Reinke and Vogler. But, the final two sets emphasized Vogler’s point. Piqua trailed 18-16 in the second game, before two kills and a block by Reinke helped the Lady Indians go in front. A block by Tasha Potts gave the Indians a 24-21 edge and at 24-23, Butler was unable to get a Piqua attack back over the net. “Tasha (Potts) and Makayla (Carnes) had some huge blocks for us today,” Piqua coach Chris Davis said. “That is really big for us, because we don’t normally get a lot of blocks.” And while Piqua has struggled recently in the

With it tied at 19, Reinke had a kill and two service points. Vogler had a block at 23-20, Potts followed with a kill to make it 24-21 and Vogler drilled a crosscourt kill to end it. “That felt great,” Vogler said about having the final kill. And as valuable as she is as a hitter, Davis said that is just the tip of the iceberg as far as Vogler’s value to the team.
“I really think our twogirl serve receive with Taylor (libero Taylor Bachman) and her has been huge,” Davis said. “Every once in awhile, they will give Taylor a try then go back to Shelby. Shelby gets more balls served at her than anyone in the league (she has over 1,000 passes on the season). She may occasionally miss one or two, but then she comes right back. She has really done a great job with that.” He also made note of the kill by Potts. “For her as a freshman to be able to step up at a key moment and execute a shot like that, that shows you something about her,” he said.
presents...
Vogler finished with eight kills, two aces, one block and two digs; while Jasmine Davis was all over the court with 26 assists, three kills, three blocks and seven digs. Potts had three kills, five blocks and three digs; while Carnes had two kills, three blocks and three digs. Hayley Monroe had one kill, one ace, two blocks and one dig; while Bachman led the defense with 13 digs and Macy Yount added three. The Lady Indians will now make a third straight trip to Springboro in quest of a district title — after proving themselves one more time on their home away from home.

Public Announcement
For those with hearing loss
Local Miracle-Ear® Hearing Centers are seeking local residents with mild to moderate hearing loss to evaluate the new Miracle-Ear® Aquavi digital hearing system. The world’s first waterproof, dustproof and shock resistant hearing instrument. TM
The clinics expect to confirm customer claims of superior comfort, sound quality, and ease of use with the Aquavi product. They also wish to show that no one will notice that the patient is wearing the Aquavi system—in which case it may be classified a “Stealth Hearing Device”.
If you qualify for this trial, a hearing instrument specialist will fit you with the remarkable Miracle-Ear Aquavi system. You may then try the system for 30 days risk-free. At the end of the evaluation, if you are happy with your results you may keep your Miracle-Ear Aquavi system at exceptional savings.
Qualifications (one or more must apply): • You have occasional or frequent difficulty hearing or understanding speech when there is background noise. • Other people (spouse, children, grandchildren, friends, co-workers, etc.) have noticed or commented about your hearing—to you or to each other. • Your hearing loss does not exceed 85%. A Complimentary, No-Charge Hearing Evaluation will be conducted at your initial visit to determine if you are a candidate for this trial. • Open enrollment begins October 10, 2011. Deadline for enrollment is Monday, October 31, 2011. Appointments are limited and are expected to fill quickly. Call now to reserve your time.
