CITY

Susan Jane Jeffery

High Street School principal Teresa Anderson gives a presentation to interested residents about conditions at the school on Tuesday evening. Her “Between the Walls” tour of the building was to give voters a personal look at maintenance issues in the building, which was built in 1956, and learn more about the Nov. 8 bond issue.

Anspach While he has no previous political experience, Anspach is a veracious reader, student of history, an accumulator of information and has dealt with a repertoire of local clients at his barbershop, ranging from the factory owner to the factory worker, from CEOs, upper and middle management, city managers and workers, ministers, doctors and school administrators to students. Such a wide variety of daily interactions with residents, thanks to his business, has given Anspach a great deal of insight into the issues. He said as commissioner and Piqua mayor he will keep their interest first and foremost. He also said that he will speak for the citizens, with their safety and security as his top priority, along with that of their

property and will, “provide an atmosphere where the citizens can prosper.” This will include the proper management of city funds that will most benefit the residents of Piqua. Anspach states, “Everything boils down to numbers,” when it comes to a sustainable budget and that city government should always be transparent. He also said he will, “Consult with the citizens to get a wide diversity of views before decisions are made, affecting the expenditure of your tax dollars.” Anspach said he believes that many citizens are not satisfied with their city government’s handling of tax dollars, which he believes has resulted in funds being spent on what the city wants rather than meeting the needs of the people. “I believe that I can

benefit the people of Piqua,” said Anspach and noted that when it comes to bringing business into the city, he believes the city government must encourage more small businesses into the area that will provide more employment, thus widening the tax base and effectively help the city to grow. “Government, if they are operating correctly, will allow your dreams to flourish,” said Anspach, with a remark that the greatest enjoyment in life is not the accumulation of wealth but in helping others. As leadership creates image and image creates attitude, Anspach also explained that there was a failure with the last two city managers in that the position dictated to the city, rather than vice versa when, “Elected officials are there to represent the citizens, their fingers,

nies.” Fess states there is a strong focus on attracting new jobs to Piqua, thanks to the foundation laid by economic development director and assistant city manager Bill Murphy. “I’m really enthusiastic about the future,” said Fess and that while the city floundered for several years, Murphy has gotten the city’s name out there and that with the new city manager, Gary Huff, on board, “I’m really encouraged that we’re going to see things happen here in Piqua.” In terms of challenges the city faces, the biggest problem is the state cuts, according to Fess who explained that the 25 percent cut that hit this year and the coming 25 percent next year in Local Government Funds, along with the loss of the estate taxes is going to be “really tough.” Another challenge is

water and the decision whether to build a water treatment plant as opposed to contracting with the city of Troy. “We didn’t want to be totally dependent on Troy,” said Fess about what would have been the loss of say on rates and quantity among other issues, “That would be a real determent to economic development.” On keeping the door open to the public, Fess explained she feels the city leaders are very open to the residents of Piqua and that, “We all have the same goal, to help the city.” As Fess personally averages 10 to 15 emails or calls a week, along with speaking to residents at various area businesses, she said one of the things that she enjoys about the job is “when I can help somebody who has an issue.” Fess is also encouraged

city commissioner, I will share proven ideas for city government operations.” A college graduate from the United States Military Academy at West Point, Koenig holds a master’s in civil engineering. He also volunteers in the Dayton area professional societies, as well as at fundraisers for St. Mary Catholic Church. He was elected president of the nonprofit organization, The Kittyhawk Post of the Society of American Military Engineers, where he also served on the board of directors. If elected, Koenig said his first priority will be to represent the interests and concerns of his ward and Piqua residents. “My other goal would be to effectively assist in the management of city services. The city needs to make business decisions about how to go forward to ensure reliable and inexpensive public utilities,”

Koenig said. He also pledged to “support core city services such as the police and fire department that is critical to ensuring safe streets.” As for drawing business to the area, Koenig states that the city needs to market Piqua in the Miami Valley for job creation and to keep the community’s young technical and professional citizens here. “Piqua has some significant competitive advantages,” Koenig said, such as low power costs, postsecondary education institutions, low housing costs and access to I-75 that can “attract high technology businesses to the community.” By marketing the city’s strengths, Koenig said he believes companies and start-ups will take a serious look at Piqua. He also said that he will be personally involved in developing and implementing a four-year communication

When asked about drawing business into Piqua, Fess said, “It’s a really tough issue for everyone, Ohio and Michigan have really, really been hit. We’ve lost so many manufacturing compa-

He worked on projects. such as locks and dams, roads, water resource development and environmental remediation that had positive impacts on local communities. “I may be the only candidate who has lived in other communities and been exposed to a variety of city management ‘best practices,’” wrote Koenig in a recent email. “As your

THE FIRST AMENDMENT

Serving Piqua since 1883

“Come now, and let us reason together, said the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.” (Isaiah 1:18 AKJV)

Letters to the Editor

Property owner supports Piqua levy To the Editor: As a Piqua property owner I have had an important decision to make prior to voting on Nov. 8. The question was, “Will I invest in our community’s future by supporting the proposed public school levy, or will I let the opportunity for state support pass us by because of being on a fixed income in a struggling economy?” I have decided to cast my vote for approval of the levy. I have monitored the Facilities Planning Committee’s work, participated in one of the communitywide forums, and have listened to presentations and read materials that support the levy request. The committee has been thorough and the resulting plan would provide facilities that will support a positive learning environment for our children and grandchildren, as well as spruce up some areas of our community. Through my volunteer work at Springcreek Primary School and my attendance at Wilder Intermediate School for my granddaughter’s activities, I see how hard the teachers and staff work to

provide a safe and caring place for our children. The buildings are clean and for the most part, comfortable. The paint is fresh and the landscaping is well-manicured. However, those positives don’t overshadow the reality of continuing roof leaks, drafty windows and doors, aging bathroom fixtures and general overcrowding. The cost of repairing and maintaining these old structures is extensive and siphons off funds that could be used for advanced learning technologies and/or curricular improvements that would enhance individual learning. My children have long-since graduated from the Piqua City Schools, but my granddaughters are now beginning. I want them to have every possible opportunity for a good education in a safe environment. Even as little girls they have dreams. I hope that each will have the opportunity to realize her dreams — to get a good education and to be successful in whatever she wants. I will support the levy on Election Day. —Jane Salisbury Piqua

Now is time to replace buildings To the Editor: As a native of Piqua, I am writing in support of the school levy on Nov. 8. How well I remember going to Springcreek Elementary School when it was changing from a township school to one of our city schools. Even then I thought it was an old building, having been built in 1922. By the time I was at PHS there was a study by The Ohio State University (1969) that stated “many of the (PCS school) buildings could continue their usefulness for one decade, and then would have to be replaced.” It is now 40 years past that prediction — 40 years of

extra life made possible by the attentive efforts of a hardworking maintenance crew. Through the years my three sons have attended Piqua schools, I have seen firsthand how well they have been cleaned, maintained and repaired. It is now possible with a generous partnership from the state to replace those aging buildings and stop pouring money into ever increasing repair and replacement costs for old heating systems, etc. I hope you will join me in voting “yes” for the schools on Nov. 8. —Michelle Barnett-Underwood Piqua

To the Editor: Hello. I am a 1994 graduate of Piqua City Schools. I currently live in this wonderful city with my husband and two children. For the past 12 years I have been a first-grade teacher for Covington Exempted Village Schools. Being an educator is one of the most rewarding occupations anyone can have. When a student reads a word they didn’t know for the very first time, or solves a math problem without help, the smile they give you is very touching. I credit the teachers and staff of Piqua City Schools with my eagerness to teach children. Without the outstanding education I had many years ago, I may have chosen a different path. I write this letter in support of the new school levy. Even though I teach in Covington, and my children attend Covington Schools (because of babysitting arrangements) I will be voting ‘yes’ for the levy. People have said there is no reason for me to vote yes since my children are not attending school in Piqua. However, I totally disagree. I can think of

several reasons for voting “yes.” The first reason I will be voting “yes” is because when I attended school in Piqua, someone paid for my education. I need to give back to those who deserve an education now. “Pay It Forward” is a great motto to live by. My grandparents, parents, and former teachers lived by this motto and taught me to do the same. The second reason I will be voting “yes” is to improve our community. The majority of our neighboring cities now have new and improved schools and families may choose to move there rather than Piqua. Thirdly, the current schools are in dire need of repair. The city will pay more to fix up the old buildings than they would pay to build three new buildings. The wonderful teachers and staff of the Piqua City Schools deserve the best environment possible in order to educate our children. Vote yes on Nov. 8 for “This Opportunity of a Lifetime!” —Kelly Murray-Gessner Piqua

Readers: ‘Time is right’ to pass levy agreed to pay 47 percent of the bill to build new school buildings in Piqua. It’s a great offer. On Nov. 8, we have an opportunity to make a major improvement to not only our schools but also our town. Building new schools will bring an economic boost to Piqua businesses, increase your property values and make Piqua more attractive to new businesses as well. Vote ‘yes’ for Piqua schools. —Don and Teresa Luna Piqua

Reader: Skateboard park too costly To The Editor: I have been reading the many articles by Soldier Fish regarding a skateboard park in Piqua. While I believe this project would be wonderful for the children in Piqua, it is not the fault of Mayor Lucy Fess, Commissioner Bill Vogt or any other commissioner that this project has not been undertaken. A skateboard park cannot be built for “a few dollars” as Mr. Fish suggests, but would be a very costly project. Further, the insurance responsibility would be enormous. In the present economy Piqua and other communities throughout our nation are struggling to try to make ends meet for essentials and many projects have been set aside. Perhaps Mr. Fish does not realize that

The Piqua High School Key Club and Piqua Junior High Builders Club will be collecting for Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF from 6-8 p.m. Monday during Trick-or-Treat night in Piqua. The youth groups are sponsored by the local Kiwanis Club of Piqua.

Kiwanis groups collect for UNICEF Youths will be seeking donations on Trick or Treat night in Piqua PIQUA — Piqua High School Key Club and Piqua Junior High Builders Club will continue their support of Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF from 6-8 p.m. Monday during Trick-orTreat night in Piqua. The youth groups are sponsored by the local Kiwanis Club of Piqua. Now in its 18th year of partnership, Key Club and Builders Club have raised more than $5 million for UNICEF. For more than 60 years, Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF has served as the

Original Kids Helping Kids campaign. In 1950, children across America were inspired to collect coins for UNICEF to aid children abroad enduring the after-effects of World War II. It was not just a charity effort—it was a call to end the needless suffering of their more vulnerable peers around the globe. Since then, for generations of Americans, Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF has been a powerful way to make a different in the lives of the world’s children.

Both youth groups are student-led service leadership programs of Kiwanis International. Key Club is the oldest and largest service program for high school students. Key Club gives its members opportunities to provide service, build character and develop leadership skills. Since 1925, Key Club International has provided more than 12 million hours of service to homes, schools and communities each year. Builders Club is the junior high introduction into Kiwanis Club and K-Kids are the primary and intermediate clubs sponsored by Kiwanis. “The high school and junior high students will carrying orange be

UNICEF boxes collecting money to aid those less fortunate throughout the world,” said Kim Bean, Key Club adviser at PHS. “We have been doing this for many years and the kids all get excited about doing something to help others. It’s a great way to promote service and give to others. We hope the community will continue their support of this wonderful project.” Kiwanis is a global organization dedicated to changing the world one child and one community at a time. Kiwanis Club of Piqua meets at noon Wednesdays at The Learning Place in Piqua. For more information, call Brian Phillips at 778-1586.

DEAR ABBY: Years ago, I placed my daughter for adoption. The circumstances that led me to make the decision were compelling. After 18 years, I was surprised and elated to hear from her. She’s 23, has a child of her own and is engaged to be married. I tried to maintain communication, but she stopped corresponding. After a period of not wanting to talk, she is now trying to get back in touch with me and her siblings. We’re unsure what to think about this and questioning her motives. Does she truly want us to be involved with her and her daughter? Or is this a way to get gifts for her child and her upcoming wedding? I would like to discuss this with her, but I’m hesitant for fear of losing her again. I always wanted a relationship with my daughter. I’m confused and afraid of being hurt again. What can I do? — BIRTH MOM IN WISCONSIN DEAR BIRTH MOM: By all means have a discussion with your daughter, but do it in reference to the fact that you were puzzled and hurt when she suddenly ceased communication with you. Let her explain what led to it. She may have been dealing with mixed emotions, which seems logical to me. Because you want a relationship with her, you may have to accept that it will proceed in fits and starts — and may not blossom the way you might wish it to. You’ll know more as you get to know her better. DEAR ABBY: My mom goes overboard with gifts for my two sons when she goes on vacation or when she shops for birthdays and Christmas. I have asked her to scale back and not buy them each a box full of stuff. I tried to be tactful, but she said they “expect” Grandma to give them stuff. The problem is she gives them random things that hold no interest for them. My sons are always kind and thank her, but their rooms are packed full of toys, many never opened, because they have too much stuff.

ABIGAIL VAN BUREN

Advice When I asked Mom to just give the boys a book about the next place she visits, she became defensive. I don’t know how to tell her in a way she’ll understand that she’s wasting her hard-earned money on gifts my children won’t use or have no interest in. Can you help me? — TOO MUCH STUFF IN IOWA DEAR TOO MUCH: Try something like this: “Mom, you are a generous sweetheart, but you are giving them too much stuff. They’re INUNDATED! There are toys in their rooms that have never been opened because they have outgrown them. That’s why this year we are donating the unopened ones to a homeless shelter. It hurts me to see you spend money on items the boys don’t use — so please, cut back on the number of gifts, and before spending your hard-earned money, ask me what they can use.” DEAR ABBY: I have become close friends with an elderly lady, “Adele.” Unfortunately, I don’t know her family. I care for Adele and would like to be contacted if anything ever happened to her or if she was not able to call me herself. Would it be appropriate to ask her to have her family call me if she ever has an emergency? — SOMEONE WHO CARES, ANDOVER, MINN. DEAR SOMEONE: Yes, it would, and I’m sure Adele would be touched if you suggested it.

PIQUA DAILY CALL • WWW.DAILYCALL.COM

S M O KS IEG N A L S Choirs exceed expectations BY SUMMER LITTLEJOHN Staff Writer On Oct. 23, at 2:30 p.m., all of the three choir classes performed various vocal arrangements at the Piqua High School auditorium. The order was Woman's chorus, Men's chorus, and then Concert choir. Woman's chorus sang “Jubilate Deo” for their opening song, “Dobre Noc” (Good Night), and then “Didn't My Lord Deliver Daniel” for the closing. Men’s chorus began with “Sing, Now, Ye Sons of Art,” “There Is Nothin' Like A Dame,” “OSU School Songs,” and then “Piqua Pep Song.” Concert choir began with “Salmo 150,” “Domine Deus,” “I Will Lift My Eyes,” “Hold Steady With The Gate,” and ended with “Alma Mater.” According to Isaac Hale, director Tom Westfall wanted to start off and end the concert choir section with a fast song to keep the crowd energized; then he put two slower songs in the middle. Westfall commented on the choirs’ progress. “Everyone has done a great job this fall, for exceeding my expectations.” He went on to talk about the district choir contest in Bellefontaine that will be held sometime in March. “At this point, all the choirs have a good chance at getting 1's at district.” (1 is the highest score you can get.) Westfall continued to say that the changed schedule between Concert choir and Show choir has made a great impact on the quality of literature. “They're able to perform and when people hear them they'll be very impressed,” Westfall said.

PIQUA HIGH SCHOOL

Piqua High School holds ‘Hype Rally’ BY HANNAH GOODWIN Staff Writer On Friday, Oct. 21, Piqua High School had a hype rally for the football game against Butler. The football players showed their spirit by having a select few throw paper airplanes at hoops that were held up in the audience. There was also a slide show of the senior players' embarrassing baby pictures. As usual, there was the Miss Butler contest. Each class had classmates dress in the most ridiculous outfit they could find, and the audience voted for their favorite. The seniors won. Multiple members from each class dressed in goofy outfits, most of which were nerdy, and danced the “Bernie” in front of the audience. The crowd voted for the winners by clapping and yelling for their favorites, and the seniors won

Piqua’s FCCLA gets new teacher BY MAKYLIE KILLIAN Staff Writer Abby Frilling is a new FCCLA teacher at Piqua High School. Before coming to PHS Frilling attended Ball State University in Muncie, Ind. After four years she received her bachelor's degree in vocational family and consumer sciences. Frilling was a former teacher at Minister High School before

arriving at PHS. This is now her second school year of teaching students. She teaches fipersonal nancial management, managing FRILLING transitions, and career help. Frilling chose

this job because she was formally involved in FCCLA when she was in high school. Inside the classroom, Frilling likes to do hands on activities to get students engaged in the classroom. Frilling is a young teacher; she relies on that youthfulness to show her students she is human just like they are, and often uses personal examples in her life to relate to her students.

The McDonald's Student of the Week for the week of Oct. 24 is Shawn Hess. Hess was nominated by Deborah Retman for exhibiting respect, diligence, and integrity inside the classroom. According to Retman, “Shawn was apprehensive about being in a class with underclassmen. He has been a leader in the class and works great with the other students. I appreciate having him in class as a positive role model.” Hess lives with his mother Kathy Hess in Piqua. He plans on acquiring a four year degree in education from an undecided college and then to join the army. He intends to make the army his full time career. Hess is also an avid member of the football and track teams. It is evident from his accomplishments that he is making a positive impact on Piqua High School on and off the field as well as blazing his own trail into the future.

Saving Babies Issue #6: Oct. 27, 2011

The Last Stroke BY MEGHAN BENNETT Like all good things, Lehman’s golf season has come to an end, but not without an amazing ride. The team got the thrill of qualifying for state competition held at The Ohio State University Scarlet golf course. The competition consisted of two days of golfing action and was held on Oct. 13 and 14. At the end of the first day of competition, Ben Thieman led the team with a score of 84, while John Copella followed with a score of 86 and Tyler Bergman Golf team members at State: Mitchell Shroyer, Tyler Bergman, Coach Schlater, Ben Thieman, Sam Dean, John with a score of 87. Sam Dean and Copella Mitchell Shroyer trailed with scores of 96 and 115. At this point, the state title was still up for grabs. The next day’s competition came and went, leaving Lehman finishing 7th in the state. Thieman again led Lehman’s team with a score of 84, followed by Bergman with a score of 88. Copella finished with a score of 92, while Dean and Shroyer finished with scores of 94 and 116. As individuals, Thieman tied for 13th place, Bergman tied for 24th place, and Copella tied for 35th place. “I thought it was a great experience and even though the team didn’t do as well as we may have hoped, 7th place is a respectable finish,” Copella said. Longtime Coach Elmer Schlater announced at the state match that he is retiring after leading the Cavaliers to more than 1,100 wins, 11 straight sectional titles, and five trips to the state tournament. He will be missed. Lehman Catholic High School congratulates the golf team for all its accomplishments and is looking forward to another successful season next year.

INTERACTing locally and worldwide BY AMY WATERCUTTER “Interact club is a service organization that is open to all students at Lehman,” said Liz Maxson, adviser for the club. Interact is a club in which students do service projects and get involved with the community. Each member is required to participate in one local project and one national project. This is the bare minimum, and the club has gone way beyond this requirement in the past years. President of this year’s Interact club is junior Michael Jacob. “I originally joined the club looking for a way to get involved in Lehman, but I really enjoy it and it’s a great opportunity to truly help others,” he said. Along with this project, Interact does many different things for the community and for the world. Last year the club collected school supplies to send to a school in Africa. A possible new project this year is to raise money to actually support a child in Africa for one year. Interact usually meets once a month and fees include $5 and a box of tissues for new members, and $3 and a box of tissues for returning members. Interact is a great way to volunteer for the community and give of your time and talents. A great aspect about the club is that it does many different projects so every student can become involved with something that interests them. If you would like to do service projects, and enjoy helping others, then you should get involved with the Interact club at Lehman.

Twice a year, the Pro-Lifeguards make a trip to the abortion clinic in Kettering to pray for increased respect and protection of life. On Oct. 4, the group made the first of these prayer vigils. Besides praying, the group also gets an education in what really goes on behind the doors at the center. Known to all that go on this trip as Vivian, this longtime sidewalk counselor talks to the mothers who go in to have an abortion. She has been there every day for more than 20 years. She can answer any question you might have about what an abortion means, and alternatives a person should consider. The group peacefully protests by holding up signs in support of life along the road. Senior David Freytag said, “My favorite part of the trip is when we hold signs up along the street because you never know if people are gonna honk for you, make a rude gesture, or have a priest bless you.” When asked why she wanted to go on the trip, senior Emily Pax said, “I like going because it’s really moving. Being that close and praying for the babies changes you.” Sophomore Meghan Safreed added, “It was a great experience. I think it really opened our eyes to the tragedies and injustices of abortion. I’m glad I went on the trip and shared the experience with my friends.” If you have never gone on the trip to Kettering and would like to go, keep listening for when the group goes next. It is truly an eyeopening experience and will change your life.

The Boys of Fall BY JUILIA HARRELSON Lehman Head Coach Dick Roll has expectations for this years’ football team. “I expect them to finish what they started, work hard, and continue to improve,” Roll said. His statement perfectly Football seniors: William Duritsch, Dan describes the season this Deafenbaugh, Joe Vandenhuevel, Ben year’s football team has Weber, Kane Pickrel had. Senior Captains Joe Vondenhuevel, Ben Weber, William Duritsch, Dan Deafenbaugh, and Kane Pickrel have had to lead a young team, with ten freshmen on the 35-player line up. Injuries to many players have made this group even smaller, but that doesn’t mean they have stopped trying or putting forth all of their effort. Vondenhuevel, getting ready this weekend to play his final regular season game said, “It’s been fun. It’s brought me closer to a lot of guys, and I’ve made friends with guys I thought I wouldn’t have.” Make sure you come out and watch our team close the regular season by playing at Fort Loramie. Go Cavs!

Shelter Continued from page 1 the Madison Avenue First Church of God, 922 Madison Ave.; and the Congregational Christian United Church of Christ, 421 Broadway St. — have already signed on. Hinds, who with her husband assisted similar shelters and homeless causes while residing in Atlanta, Ga., and company are currently trying find additional to churches to take part in the network and she said she thinks they will be

able to do just that. Ideally, she said, the plan would involve seven churches which could each handle the one night a week of hosting the cold shelter. The network is always looking for volunteers, too. “Our dream is to have seven churches participating,” the pastor said. This year, the Cold Shelter Network will operate from Dec. 1 though the month of April on nights when the temperature is 32 degrees or below.

Last year the network only opened on nights where it was 25 degrees cold or colder. Statistics kept over the winter reveal just how needed these types of cold shelters are even in a city the size of Piqua, Hinds said. “It’s pretty prevalent,” Hinds said of the issue of homelessness in Piqua. “Last year we heard stories from people who were living out of their cars in places like the Walmart parking lot so they could go in and go to

the bathroom at night. It is a lifestyle that the homeless find themselves in — they find ways to live.” According to statistics released by the Cold Shelter Network, the past winter the network was open for 48 nights. One time one shelter had up to eight guests over a 48hour period. On several occasions some guests stayed more than one night. One guest used the shelter network 23 times while other guests stayed only a day or two.

provider services that include the Miami County Recovery Council, Safehaven in Piqua, Community Services for the Deaf, Shelby County Recovery Services and the Darke County Mental Health Clinic serving Darke and Miami Counties. The levy, though, does also allow Tri-County to provide inpatient services when necessary, such as paying for private inpatient psychiatry treatment, McDaniel said. Because of the levy, services are provided on a sliding scale, so no one is denied services because of inability to pay. The levy is more crucial

than ever due to TriCounty’s budget and its ability to provide services due to recent state cuts, McDaniel said. He said Tri-County has been forced to cut staff and slash its budget by $3 million in the past three years due to those state cuts. “In light of those state budget cuts, we lean so much more heavily now on the funds the levy brings in,” he said. In 2010, the levy brought in $2.592 million, which is about 23.4 percent of Tri-County’s annual revenues. The levy will cost the owner of a $100,000 house

about $15 per year. The local community has consistently provided support for the local levy, which benefits everyone, McDaniel said. “It makes for a much more healthy community overall when we are able to address these (mental health and addiction) issues locally and in a timely manner,” he said. For more information on the levy, see www.tricountylevy.org, or contact the Tri-County Board of Recovery and Mental Health Services at (937) 335-7727. The Tri-County Board’s website is: www.mdsadamhs.mh.stat e.oh.us.

Tri-County Continued from page 1 expires Dec. 31. “It is a renewal levy. It is not a new tax and not an increase in millage,” McDaniel emphasized. The Tri-County Mental Health and Recovery levy supports publicly funded mental health and recovery services that includes individual, group and marital counseling, 24hour crisis services, suicide prevention, housing, educational programs and court and other advocacy services. Most services are provided on a local outpatient basis through a threecounty network of

It’s not your fault! Hormones linked to regaining weight NEW YORK (AP) Any dieter knows that it’s hard to keep off weight you’ve lost. Now a study finds that even a year after dieters shed a good chunk of weight quickly, their hormones were still insisting, “Eat! Eat! Eat!” The findings suggest that dieters who have regained weight are not just slipping back into old habits, but are struggling against a persistent biological urge. “People who regain weight should not be harsh on themselves, as eating is our most basic instinct,” Joseph Proietto of the University of Melbourne in Australia, an author of the study, said in an email. The research appears in Thurs-

day’s issue of the New England Journal of Medicine. Weight regain is a common problem for dieters. To study what drives it, Proietto and his colleagues enrolled 50 overweight or obese patients in a 10-week diet program in Australia. They wanted to see what would happen in people who lost at least 10 percent of their body weight. Ultimately, only 34 people lost that much and stuck with the study long enough for analysis. The program was intense. On average, the participants lost almost 30 pounds during the 10 weeks, faster than the standard advice of losing 1 or 2 pounds a week. They took in 500 to 550 calories

a day, using a meal replacement called Optifast plus vegetables for eight weeks. Then for two weeks they were gradually reintroduced to ordinary foods. Despite counseling and written advice about how to maintain their new weights, they gained an average of 12 pounds back over the next year. So they were still at lower weights than when they started. The scientists checked the blood levels of nine hormones that influence appetite. The key finding came from comparing the hormone levels from before the weight-loss program to one year after it was over. Six hormones were still out of whack in a direction that would boost hunger.

BY KIMBERLY HEFLING Associated Press DENVER — President Barack Obama recalled his struggles with student loan debt as he unveiled a plan Wednesday that could give millions of young people some relief on their payments. Speaking at the University of Colorado Denver, Obama said that he and his wife, Michelle, together owed more than $120,000 in law school debt that took nearly a decade to pay off. He said that sometimes he’d have to make monthly payments to multiple lenders, and the debt meant they were not only paying for their own degrees but saving for their daughters’ college funds simultaneously. “I’ve been in your shoes. We did not come from a wealthy family,” Obama said to cheers. Obama said it’s never been more important to get a college education, but it’s also never been more expensive. Obama said his plan will help not just individuals, but the nation,

because graduates will have more money to spend on things like buying homes. “Our economy needs it right now and your future could use a boost right now,” Obama said. Obama’s plan will accelerate a measure passed by Congress that reduces the maximum required payment on student loans from 15 percent of discretionary income annually to 10 percent. He will put it into effect in 2012, instead of 2014. In addition, the White House says the remaining debt would be forgiven after 20 years, instead of 25. About 1.6 million borrowers could be affected. He will also allow borrowers who have a loan from the Federal Family Education Loan Program and a direct loan from the government to consolidate them into one. The consolidated loan would carry an interest rate of up to a half percentage point less than before. This could affect 5.8 million borrowers. Student loans are the No. 2 source of household debt.

HOROSCOPE Thursday, Oct. 27, 2011 There is likely to be a noticeable improvement in your social life in the year ahead, stemming from palling around with a new group of people while still doing things with your old group. Keeping busy will be good for you. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Don’t put yourself down or be sarcastic if your companions have far better ideas than what you can come up with. On the contrary, be supportive of anything and everything that is superior. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Let bygones be bygones. Don’t let a past grievance or a misunderstanding continue to disrupt how you would normally treat another. Begin again with a fresh scorecard. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — You can’t rely on outside circumstances to improve your lot in life; you can only bank on yourself. If you’re enterprising and industrious, you can make good things happen. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Smart people perceive their duties as opportunities to get ahead, not dull obligations. What might appear to be burdens to some could be scads of lucky breaks in enterprising hands. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — There is a time to push and shove, and a time to hang fire and fall back. A smart person knows the difference. If you’re aggressive when you should be diplomatic, you’ll lose out. ARIES (March 21-April 19) — If you have a bright idea to change something for the better that shouldn’t be too difficult to implement, by all means give it a try. If it’s a problem, forget it. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — It may be regrettable, but don’t hesitate to withdraw your support from an associate who you feel is handling a joint matter in a way that could discredit him or her, as well as you. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — Don’t expect things to run too smoothly if you’re handling a matter in a way that tends to favor only you. Include others in your thinking, and watch how everything changes CANCER (June 21-July 22) — To your credit, you rarely hesitate to help out wherever and whenever you can. Today, however, make sure you don’t volunteer to take on something that’s more than you can handle. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Instead of distributing and delegating work, you might inadvisably attempt to do everything yourself. When you discover you’re overextended, don’t hesitate to ask for help. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Don’t panic; your problems are likely to be more gigantic in your mind than they actually are. Once you get on top of things, you’ll quickly realize your fears were unwarranted. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — This isn’t likely to be a good day for borrowing a treasured something from another, nor to lend anything you value. Small accidents could be more prevalent than usual.

CAUTION Whether posting or responding to an advertisement, watch out for offers to pay more than the advertised price for the item. Scammers will send a check and ask the seller to wire the excess through Western Union (possibly for courier fees). The scammer's check is fake and eventually bounces and the seller loses the wired amount. While banks and Western Union branches are trained at spotting fake checks, these types of scams are growing increasingly sophisticated and fake checks often aren't caught for weeks. Funds wired through Western Union or MoneyGram are irretrievable and virtually untraceable. If you have questions regarding scams like these or others, please contact the Ohio Attorney General’s office at (800)282-0515.

Four Turns MARK Clint Bowyer’s win 1 CENTURY at Talladega was the 100th career

1. Carl Edwards

Cup win for Richard Childress Racing. Childress’ first victory came in June 1983 at Riverside International Raceway with Ricky Rudd. Dale Earnhardt won 67 races in RCR equipment. Kevin Harvick has 18 wins for the organization, while Clint Bowyer has five, Jeff Burton four, Robby Gordon three, Rudd two and Paul Menard one.

proving to be tough to beat at Talladega. Drivers with an ECR engine have won four of the last five races at the 2.66-mile tri-oval (Clint Bowyer twice, Kevin Harvick and Jamie McMurray). In those five races, ECR powerplants have notched 12 of the 25 top-5 finishes. CARL’S CRUSADE Carl Edwards’ streak of eight consecutive top-10 finishes came to an end with an 11th at Talladega. Not surprisingly, Edwards, as the points leader, leads all drivers in average finish during the Chase with a 5.6-place showing. Matt Kenseth is averaging a ninth-place result, while Brad Keselowski is holding strong at 8.3.

this season, raising his career total of laps led at the Alabama superspeedway to 832 in 38 starts. Gordon has a ways to go to become the all-time laps-led leader at ’Dega, though. Dale Earnhardt, who won 10 races at the facility, led 1,377 laps in his 44 starts, while Buddy Baker led 1,137 laps in 43 starts.

Bowyer wins Talladega; Johnson takes points hit. By MATT TALIAFERRO Athlon Sports Racing Editor

And then, there were five. So it seems. Maybe. The one thing that is beyond debate is Clint Bowyer’s continued strength on NASCAR’s plate tracks. Bowyer made a last-lap pass of teammate Jeff Burton in the Good Sam Club 500 at Talladega Superspeedway on Sunday to earn his first win of the 2011. It was Bowyer’s second victory in the last three Talladega events and third straight finish of first or second. It was also his final plate-track start for team owner Richard Childress, as Bowyer will head to Michael Waltrip Racing at season’s end. “It’s just so important to me to be able to cap off such a good relationship with Richard,” Bowyer said. “Everybody at RCR — it’s like family over there. (It) meant a lot for me to be able to win before we end this deal. “The stars were lined up today with having the 100th anniversary of Chevrolet (paint scheme) on the racecar. If I won the race, it was going to be Richard’s 100th win. Too many things meant to be for it not to be. I’m excited that it was.” Childress stood to pick up his organization’s 100th win one way or another. Bowyer and Burton, who combined to lead 51 laps on the afternoon, led the field to green with two laps remaining following a vicious wreck involving Regan Smith, Mark Martin, Marcos Ambrose, Denny Hamlin and Juan Pablo Montoya. The duo’s restart was flawless, and they quickly drafted away from a snarling pack of cars jockeying for position. “Right at the split second I touched his bumper, one of the Red

No one driver wins the Chase at Talladega, but many lose it. Edwards did neither, which is a good thing for him. Expect top-10 runs from here on out. Edwards’ teammate and the 2003 champ, Kenseth, sits just 14 points back in second. Both are good (Texas, Homestead) and weak (Martinsville) at the same tracks. At 26 points out, is Harvick done? Probably not, but his chances are on life support. The car his team is bringing to Martinsville this weekend has two wins in six starts — including at Martinsville in April. Survives big, bad Talladega, notching the best finish (fourth) among all Chase drivers. At 18 points back in the title hunt, you have to like the kid’s chances. Food for thought: The last time Johnson had two straight finishes outside of the top 20 during the Chase, he won the next three races. Has elbowed his way back into title contention with consecutive runs of eighth and seventh. At fourth in the standings and 19 points out, Smoke may be that final driver with a good look at a title. Making up 40 points in the standings with four races remaining is unrealistic, and that’s where Kyle and the boys find themselves. Don’t be surprised if the lifted weight propels Busch to a win or two. Four of his six Chase races have resulted in finishes of eighth or better, including, of course, the big win at ’Dega. It may be the last one he sees for a while since MWR isn’t known as a big-win operation. Gordon’s 27th at Talladega and the events that conspired to contribute to it may have been frustrating, but say this about him: He seemed to be the only Hendrick car that wanted to go to the front and race. Kahne’s average finish in the last six races is 7.1, including four straight runs of sixth or better. It’s a shame everything is coming together for this bunch as the season winds down. Back-to-back solid finishes with his favorite stop — Martinsville — up next. Leads all drivers on the circuit with a 10.2-place average finish on the plate tracks in 2011. Winless thus far in 2011. That’s only happened once to the Biff in eight full-time Cup seasons. It ain’t getting any prettier, but I get hate mail if he’s not at least ranked in the top 15. The final results (24th) don’t back up the great run Logano had at ’Dega with a torn up car. AJ Allmendinger, Jeff Burton, Mark Martin, Ryan Newman, Martin Truex Jr.

Clint Bowyer serves up some victory donuts for the fans on hand at the Good Sam Club 500 at Talladega Superspeedway on Sunday.

Bull cars hit me in the butt,” Bowyer said of the final restart. “It just launched us out there. The rest was history. I was able to get up through the gearbox, shove him (and) it got us away. At that split second, they came to a halt and split up and were racing two- and three-wide. We were able to drive off into the sunset.” The tandem of Dave Blaney and Brad Keselowski — who worked with one another all day — finished third and fourth. Brain Vickers and Kasey Kahne were fifth and sixth. Points leader Carl Edwards and teammate Greg Biffle stayed hooked together throughout the afternoon, as well. The Roush Fenway pair lagged back, staying out of harm’s way and avoiding three accidents in the race’s final 25 laps. Edwards increased his lead in the championship standings with an 11th-place showing. Matt Kenseth, who slipped to an 18th-place result, is second, 14 points back. Keselowski’s top-5 run slots him third, 18 points behind Edwards, while Tony Stewart’s seventh-place finish has him 19 markers out of the Chase lead. “I don't know that I’ve ever been

NASCAR announced on Tuesday that it has suspended a total of six crew members of Michael Waltrip Racing’s and JTG Daugherty Racing’s No. 00, 47 and 56 teams for unapproved modifications to the windshields at Talladega. NASCAR had previously confiscated the windshields while at the track. The three crew chiefs — Rodney Childers, Frank Kerr and Chad Johnston — were also fined $50,000 each. In addition, the car chiefs for all three teams were suspended, while MWR’s director of competition, Bobby Kennedy, has been placed on probation until Dec. 31. Also, all three teams were docked 25 driver’s and owner’s points. None of the drivers involved — David Reutimann, Bobby Labonte and Martin Truex Jr. — are in the Chase. I Daytona 500 winner Trevor Bayne and four-time champion Jeff Gordon claim they’ve made peace after a wild scramble in the

excited about 11th place,” Edwards said. “This race was one that is nerve-wracking for everyone. We came in here with a small points lead and we’re leaving with a bigger one. That’s a huge day for us.” Jimmie Johnson’s bid for a sixth consecutive Sprint Cup championship may have taken a fatal blow. Johnson and teammate Dale Earnhardt Jr. were paired as drafting partners, but when it came time for one final run to the front, they stalled out, finishing 25th (Earnhardt) and 26th (Johnson). “As we went to make our switch, the pack was organized and with the green-white-checkered situation, there’s not a lot of time to get organized,” said Johnson, now 50 points behind Edwards. “We lost our momentum there and got to the outside and kind of stalled out up on the top and finished far worse than we had hoped to. “We’ll just keep fighting. Every position counts. Every spot counts. And I want to finish as high as I can in the points. If it isn’t the championship, I want to finish as high as I can possibly finish.”

late stages of the Talladega race, having hashed out their differences in a phone call. Bayne and Gordon agreed to draft with one another on the event’s final restart, but when fellow Ford driver and quasi-Roush Fenway teammate Matt Kenseth lost his drafting partner, Bayne dumped Gordon and hooked up with the No. 17. Bayne finished 15th, while Gordon plummeted to 27th. Gordon was agitated on the cool-down laps, telling his crew that he would remember the move. Bayne later said via Twitter that, “I’m not happy about what this has become. It’s too premeditated. We should be able to go with whoever is around. I would have rather pulled over and finished last than tell (Gordon) I would work with him and then be strong armed into bailing.” Ford officials insist Bayne was not instructed to go with his teammate, although rumors had swirled all weekend that Ford drivers were told not to draft with any Chase driver not in a Ford.

SPRINT CUP SERIES Race: Tums Fast Relief 500 Track: Martinsville Speedway Location: Martinsville, Va. When: Sunday, Oct. 30 TV: ESPN (1:30 p.m. EST) Layout: .526-mile oval Banking/Turns: 12 degrees April Winner: Kevin Harvick Crew Chief’s Take: “Brakes, brakes, brakes. Being able to get good forward bite off the corner allows for passing and plenty of speed in the straightaways, then braking hard twice a lap at the entrance to Turns 1 and 3 takes its toll. It’s not nearly as fast as Bristol, but we have as much contact at Martinsville as we do at Bristol. There aren’t as many incidents because the pace is slower. The faster you run, the more you’re on the edge of grip. When you lose grip, you make more contact. It’s inevitable, but a driver has to keep cool. The ones who don’t like to be touched don’t do well here.” NATIONWIDE SERIES Race: O’Reilly Auto Parts Challenge Track: Texas Motor Speedway When: Saturday, Nov. 5 TV: ESPN2 (12:55 p.m. EST) April Winner: Carl Edwards CAMPING WORLD TRUCK SERIES Race: Kroger 200 Track: Martinsville Speedway When: Saturday, Oct. 29 TV: SPEED (2:00 p.m. EST) April Winner: Johnny Sauter

Classic Moments Martinsville Speedway The media in attendance for the 1960 Virginia 500 are treated to a luxury unheard of in the formative years of stock car racing: An airconditioned press box — a NASCAR first. It’s another NASCAR first as well, as Richard Petty wins his first of a series-best 15 races at Martinsville Speedway. Petty leads laps 316 through 333, but relinquishes the lead to Bobby Johns, who takes over for the next 48 laps until he suffers a rearend failure. Jimmy Massey assumes the lead but is overtaken by Petty one lap later. The King leads the final 116 circuits to capture his second career Grand National win. Petty wins three races in the 1960 campaign and finishes second in the standings. It is another four years until he breaks through for his first title.

Athlon Fantasy Stall Looking at Checkers: Prior to a 12th in April, Denny Hamlin had averaged a 2.4-place finish in his last nine Martinsville starts. Pretty Solid Pick: Jimmie Johnson and Jeff Gordon are the other two you have to keep an eye on. Good Sleeper Pick: This is one of Junior’s favorites, made evident by his 12 top 10s in 23 starts. Runs on Seven Cylinders: Quite a few, led by Greg Biffle and David Reutimann. Insider Tip: It’s best to stay with the Big Three of Hamlin, Johnson and Gordon.

Scott to get his first start CINCINNATI (AP) — Bernard Scott has waited two years to get this chance. The shifty running back will be featured in the Cincinnati Bengals' offense Sunday in Seattle. Scott takes over for starter Cedric Benson, who has been suspended one game for violating the NFL's conduct policy. Scott hasn't started in two years and has been relegated to a couple of series per game this season. He has only 30 carries for 85 yards and a touchdown, compared to Benson's 117 carries for 458 yards. Scott is quicker and more of an outside runner, which could slightly change the Bengals' attack. Cincinnati (4-2) is coming off its bye.

Lady Chargers ‘Dig For Cure’

World Series delayed until tonight ST. LOUIS (AP) — Colby Lewis and his Texas teammates casually tossed a ball in left field, trying to avoid the tarp and any anxiety about being so close to the World Series championship. On this day, the only winner was the weather. Game 6 was postponed Wednesday because of an accurate wet forecast, delaying the Rangers' bid to clinch their first championship. Ahead 3-2, they can close out the St. Louis Cardinals on Thursday night. It's likely to be clear with temperatures in the

low 50s at Busch Stadium. "We're not getting antsy, we're not getting ahead of ourselves. We just have to wait," Texas manager Ron Washington said. Lewis is set to start against Jaime Garcia. If there's a Game 7 Friday night, it'll be Matt Harrison for Texas against, well, no telling. St. Louis manager Tony La Russa playfully mentioned the great Bob Gibson, but ace Chris Carpenter on three days' rest looms as a possibility. "It's already been asked about Carp," La Russa said. "I was told by Carp

that he would be ready to go." The postponement came after a travel day for the teams. This two-day gap is the longest at the World Series since 1989, when the Bay Area earthquake left the Athletics and Giants idle for 11 days. "It's just a rainout, that's it," Texas star Michael Young said. "I don't know if people think we're going to sit in our hotel rooms all night biting our nails. “We're going to get something to eat, get some rest and be ready to go."

FB Continued from page 15 lot,” Nees said. “I think the impressive thing is he has completed more than 50 percent of his passes. That is pretty amazing for a high school quarterback.” Devon Hamilton has caught 29 passes for 567 yards, while Billy Jackson has 28 receptions for 413 yards. around 30 “Being catches is a lot for a high school receiver,” Nees said. “They have some pretty good receivers.” And while the Skyhawks has given up its share of points, don’t be fooled Nees said. “They have played against some good offensive teams,” he said. “They have given up points, but they will come after you.” Fairborn’s base defense is a 4-4. “But, they will shade it and even play some 50,” Nees said. “So, it is really a multiple front defense. They don’t blitz a whole lot, but they are aggressive.” T.J. Tillman leads the secondary with five interceptions. Offensively, Piqua running back Jon Dembski is coming off another big game, rushing for 201 yards against VandaliaButler.

“He is closing in on 1,200 yards for the season and has rushed for 14 touchdowns. “Jon (Dembski) is really an amazing story,” Nees said. “To go from playing against a B schedule in junior high, to being a 1,000-yard rusher. It is a great story and he deserves a lot of credit.” Dembski is what would best be described as a physical, “North and South” runner. “It isn’t anything with the scheme,” Nees said. “A lot of the yards Jon gets, he gets on his own and that is not anything you scheme for.” And it can force defenses to leave themselves vulnerable. “You start have to pack guys in the box to stop him,” Nees said. “And sometimes, Taylor (Wellbaum) or Travis (Nees) can sneak outside for a big play.” The Indians are also ahead of the game on special teams with Evan Grissom handling the place-kicking and punting to help Piqua win field position. All of which had led to two big weeks, which the Indians hope to continue Friday.

Just the publicity she brings to the program with making regionals and getting her picture in the paper — that is going to help the program.” While Snapp is humble about it, she also knows she is the most successful runner the Piqua girls have had in a number of years and accepts the admiration. “I guess I have always had a strong work ethic,” Snapp said. “The other girls (on Piqua) might come up to me at practice or before a race and ask me what a good stretch to do is or how much of a workout they should do.”

After missing by one spot of qualifying for regionals as a freshman, Snapp advanced to regionals as a sophomore, before electing to play soccer her junior season. But, even then, she probably ran more than most girls competing in cross country. “She has always trained year round,” Frazier said. “She was still training.” So he is not surprised that when she returned to cross country for her senior season, she didn’t miss a beat. In fact, she has lowered her times with a PR of 19:41. “It’s like you work at it to run slower,” Snapp said. “To me, getting slower wasn’t an option.” And as she heads into the regional meet Saturday, Snapp knows she can do better than as a sophomore, when she finished 68th in 21:08.32. “I think when she was a sophomore, she was coming off the district race and thought it was going to be like that,” Frazier said. “Then, she got to regionals and it was a whole different ballgame.” While Snapp doesn’t have a particular runner she wants to stay with Saturday, she is very aware of the three who finished right in front of her at district (Jaci Combs, Tecumseh: and Heather Baruxes and Keaton Case of Spring-

boro). “I haven’t really thought about it,” Snapp said. “The Tecumseh girl kind of came out of nowhere. I ran right with the two Springboro girls at district, which is never a bad thing. I really want to run a PR. I want to get down into the 19:30s badly.” And the course will be a little different this year, because of the construction to the Adams Street Bridge. “We will make two boring loops down below,” Snapp said with a laugh. “Actually, the race will be so quick, I don’t think it will make all that much difference.” And she knows she may have to run a little different pace. “I think I am definitely going to have to go out a little faster than normal,” Snapp said. “I think going out faster will be a good thing for me.” Snapp isn’t sure if she will run in college. “The academics come first,” Snapp said. “If it fits in with that and I can get a little money (scholarship), sure.” That answer didn’t surprise Frazier either. “She’s just not competing in cross country and track,” he said. “She’s competing for valedictorian.” Just another reason for Piqua cross country runners to “Be Like Kaele.”

some pretty good momentum right now and we want to keep that going.” It will be a matchup of an explosive Fairborn offense against a Piqua defense coming off arguably its best game of the season. “One of the things that happened (when the defense struggled earlier in the season) was we always seemed to have one or two players injured,” Nees said. “On offense, it seems like if you have a couple guys in there and keep going. But, on defense, it seems to really hurt you when you get a player or two injured.” The Indians will be challenged by the “Pistol”, Fairborn’s version of a spread offense. “They run a series of plays that compliment each other,” Nees said. “They mix the run and pass and it seems like usually, it favors the pass more than the run.” Fairborn quarterback Kendrick Williams has completed 99 of 196 passes for 1,696 yards and 18 touchdowns, while throwing just six interceptions. “He will run the ball on designed-run plays, but he doesn’t scramble a whole

The Edison Community College and Columbus State volleyball teams, along with fans, do a video chant of E-L-I for Eli Leingang Wednesday.

Edison coach Faye Barhorst and athletic director Chip Hare present Brian Leingang and his daughter Emerson a game ball for Eli Leingang.

All about ‘Eli’

Edison holds ‘Dig For Cure’ It might have made for a storybook ending to the season for the Edison Community College volleyball team to have beaten Columbus State at the Convocation and Student Center Wednesday night in Ohio Community College Athletic Conference action. But, everyone in attendance, including Lady Charger coach Faye Barhorst, would prefer a storybook ending for young Eli Leingang, a Pleasant Hill resident. The two-year old son of Brian and Noelle Leingang was recently diagnosed with leukemia. And while everything has gone well in treatment, there is still a battle ahead, so Eli was honoree for Edison’s annual “Dig For The Cure” match. Digging for Eli shirts were on sale and a videotaped chant of E-L-I was made before the game, with both teams and many fans participating. Brian and Eli’s sister Emerson were in attendance at the game. “We are privileged to have the opportunity to play volleyball here,” Barhorst said. “Eli is going through something very difficult.

“It is great that everything is going well right now. “But, we want to do anything we can do for the family and our thoughts and prayers are always with the family.” As for the match itself, it was a struggle all night for the Lady Chargers. A kill by Tory Shimp on Marissa Bettinger’s serve had Edison even at 5-5 in the opening game before the Cougars pulled away and went on to win 25-11, 25-15, 25-12. And in spite of the way the final match went, Barhorst saw a lot of positives with the team. “If you had seen them the first week of practice and saw them now, you would be amazed by the progress,” she said. “Not necessarily, the way they played tonight, but the way they have practiced for the last week.” And while Barhorst may have hoped for more wins, she sees a bright future with the program. “We have a lot of young talent coming back,” she said. “If nothing else, I hope this lights a fire under them for next year.” Brooke Turner had six kills and two blocks for the Lady Chargers, while Marissa Bettinger had seven kills, two aces and one block.
