PIQUA — It’s a cause for celebration and what perfect timing, too, as Winans Fine Chocolates and Coffees opened their doors 50 years ago this very month here in Miami County. While Winans can trace their roots all the way back to the late 1800s in Michigan, it was the early 1900s that brought bakery locations to Ohio where at a Bellefontaine location two brothers, Max and Dick Winans, added handdipped chocolates, brittles and copper kettle caramels to the menu. What soon followed was the opening of Winans Carriage House Candies in Piqua in 1961. Over the years the only change has been in the name. “We would be foolish to change any of the traditional recipes that have made Winans successful,” said Laurie Winans Reiser, fourth generation owner. She and her See Winans/Page 4

PIQUA — At Springcreek Primary School last week, second-grade students took a hand at carving up pumpkins the students of the school grew in their garden. The pumpkins were planted last year by the second-graders (who are now third-graders) and teachers and administrators at the school said the activity teaches the children several things, including where food comes from, how it is

• Some Halloween costumes are popular year after year. But some Halloween costumes are inspired by celebrities, leaders or events. Look through the news and feature sections of the newspaper and choose five people who would be popular masks or costumes this year. Write a sentence for each
explaining why people would want to dress like that person. • Everyone knows that Halloween means candy, candy, candy. Candy names are fun to read because they use language in funny ways. Pick a few of your favorites from Halloween ads in the newspaper. As a class discuss why
you like the names. Then write an outline for using the names in a Halloween story. Explain how you might use the names to describe people, events or action in your tale. • Holidays of all kinds give businesses a way to draw attention to things they want to sell. Look through the ads in today’s newspaper and make a list with classmates of ads offering Halloween sales, deals or specials. Pick out and discuss the ones you think are the most creative. Then design your own creative Halloween ad. • You can use the newspaper to make a quick costume. Using a full sheet of newspaper and tape, see if you can create a fancy hat from the newspaper. Can you make the hat show your personality? Discuss that idea with the class. • Dr. Frankenstein used a jolt of electricity to bring his creation to life. Look through todays’s newspaper and see how many pictured items you can find that use electricity. Choose on item and figure out how you could make a costume of the item. Then draw a picture of yourself in that costume and label all the parts. • “Alphabet Monster.” Kids take a page of the newspaper and, with a crayon, circle an example of each letter of the alphabet. Encourage them not to go across a line, keeping the letters in sequence, but to move all over the page (an “a” at the top, a “b” on the side, etc.) Then they connect the letters in order. Have them turn the page in any direction until they see a “monster” on the page. It then becomes a writing exercise when they describe the monster, how he/she/it came to be, is it a good/bad monster, etc. Older kids can do this and actually turn it into a short story they read to younger students. High school students can create whole books to send to elementary schools, etc.

cheeks turned a dark shade of red. “I was just playing with you,” Hector apologized. “You’re actually pretty good.” “Let’s go see where the music is coming from,” Felix said, heading toward the center of town. “Over there, at the park!” Hector was the first to spot the crowd. “It looks like a party!” They walked until they were at the edge of the park. The smell of burritos, enchiladas, beans and salsa made its way to the hungry trio. They could see decorations and a large piñata hanging from a tree branch. “I’d give my right arm for a burrito about now,” Hector said, licking his lips. “I’d give my giant, purple, swollen ankle for just one taco!” Felix joined in. “I’d give both of you away for one single tortilla chip!” Karol laughed. And before they knew what had happened, she was in the middle of the party. She was laughing and talking and pointing back to the two dirty, tired and slightly starving boys. “What do you think she’s doing?” Felix whispered. “Well, I think she’s earning her tortilla chip!” Hector quickly answered as Karol returned. “OK, you two, let’s go!” She motioned toward the party. “I knew it! You sold us, didn’t you!” Hector said, pointing an accusing finger in her face.
The Brass Bell Written by Cathy Sewell and illustrated by Blaise Sewell of The Curriculum Closet Chapter Five: Arriving in Gallinas “Coronado and his men visited many villages in search of the seven cities of gold. Starving and tired, they would sometimes force their way into the villages and take what they needed.” – Coronado and the Golden Cities Karol, Hector and Felix walked side by side into the town of Gallinas. Tired and hungry, the trio marched on, determined to find the treasure. “All right, navigator,” Karol teased. “Which way?” “Um, well, let me think,” Hector searched their surroundings. A row of businesses lined Main Street, very much like Corona. But this town was bigger. “Look!” Felix pointed down the street. “They have a theater!” “And a bowling alley!” Karol added. “Shhh … listen!” Hector said, tilting his head. “Do you hear that?” It took a minute for Felix and Karol to hear it. “Ah, it’s the merengue!” Karol announced, with a little bit of a dance motion. “What’s that supposed to be? You feeling OK?” Hector laughed. “Shut up, Hector,” Karol’s

“No, genius! That’s my Aunt Rosa and my cousins. They invited us to come and eat.” “Thanks, Karol!” both boys said over their shoulder, heading to the picnic tables. “So, Felix,” Tia Rosa began, “Karol said you’ve been reading about the explorer, Coronado.” “Yes ma’am, that’s right,” Felix could barely speak, with both cheeks full of food. He tried to reach into his backpack to show her the book and spilled his plate. “Thanks again, unlucky bell,” he said under his breath. “Here, Felix, use this,” Karol handed him a napkin. “You should meet Demetri – he’s kind of an explorer,” Rosa said. “He’s originally from Russia and has been in the United States for about a year. He’s a taxi driver.” Rosa walked Felix over to an unusual-looking man. He wore a brightly colored shirt, leather sandals and had a long, gray ponytail. “How in the world can you make any money as a taxi driver out here in the middle of nowhere?” Felix asked, trying not to sound rude. “Ah, young man!” Demetri said in a loud, strong Russian voice. “That’s what makes it exciting! I never know who I’ll meet or where I’ll go. Every day is a new adventure for me and my companion, Misha!” His

voice echoed across the park and his arms swung around the whole time he spoke. “It was nice meeting you, Demetri,” Felix said, slowly backing away from the loud man. “But my friends and I have a treasure to find.” “Good luck on your adventure,” Demetri bellowed. “Same to you!” Felix said, shaking Demetri’s big, sweaty hand. “Thank you very much for the amazing food!” Felix told Rosa. “You’re welcome. But promise me that next time you’re coming to Gallinas, you’ll give me a call. I’d be happy to pick you up,” Rosa said, hugging Karol goodbye. And they were once again walking down Main Street, with full bellies and renewed excitement. “Are we almost there?” Karol asked, when it seemed as if they were approaching the other end of town. “No, we’re not almost there,” Hector said. “We are there!” He stopped in front of a large brick building. They stood looking up at the big sign hanging on the front, and they all knew that they had finally arrived.

Growing Continued from page 1 made, gardening and composting, said Sally Ellis, a teacher at the school who assists with the project. This was the first year pumpkins were grown in the garden, said Ellis, who was assisting the students with carving pumpkins last week. Students drew pictures of jack-o-lanterns and then attempted to carve the pumpkins up according to the pictures they drew. Afterward, the student groups that helped carved the pumpkins showed them off in their classrooms to other students. In addition to carving the pumpkins, the students also saved all of the pumpkin seeds and half of them will be roasted for the school and the other half will be planted again to keep the new pumpkin tradition alive. The students appeared to be having a good time as they cut open their pumpkins and took out all of the guts and seeds. “It is important for them to get a hands-on experience,” Ellis said. “And it’s fun watching them take out all of the gooey stuff and the pumpkins seeds out.”

Springcreek Elementary students lend a hand carving a Jack-O-Lantern from a pumpkin grown and havested at the school land lab. Ellis also said the project helps show the students where food comes from, and how food comes from other food. Kelsey Franklin, a second-grader at Springcreek, said she loved the activity of carving pumpkins that were grown in the school’s
garden. “I like cutting it and carving it,” said Franklin, who plans on dressing up as a vampire today. “I like doing it all.” The school has four gardens, which were planted with the help of Upper Valley Career Cen-
ter, and some peach trees, all of which the students and teachers have tended to for two years. The school also had a salsa garden and when they harvested it earlier this year made salsa from tomatoes, peppers, garlic and onions.
Winans Continued from page 1 husband Joe own and operate stores in Piqua, Troy and the German Village in Columbus. The Piqua store is located in the Fort Piqua Plaza. They also support two franchises in Dayton. While chocolate may have made a public entrance in 1961 with the opening of the Carriage House, Reiser says that candy has been a part of the family far longer than that, “I found an entry in my great-grandmother’s diary that talks about them making candy for my great-grandfather’s bakery in 1929.” The secret to their longevity, according to Rita Stevens, chief candy maker, is that “our chocolates are made in small batches, with no preservatives and they are never frozen like you would find in bigger companies.” Dedicated to their family recipe, Winans makes butter, orange and maple creams, toffees, Bavarian mints and wurtles, to hand-wrapped caramels and old-
fashioned brittles the old-fashioned way by using copper kettles. “Fresh daily is our key to success,” Stevens said. Coffee plays a big part in the business these days, too. Winans’ coffee has been voted best in Dayton the last four years and as an avid coffee lover, Joe Reiser has educated himself on coffees from around the world. “We roast in the morning and the beans are in the stores that afternoon,” said Reiser. “Our coffees have added a whole new and fun side to our business.” Winans can ship all over the world and handles large corporate orders during the holidays, but will still pack a box as a customer waits so they can choose their favorite pieces. What are some of their customer’s favorites? “Definitely anything made with our caramel is very popular,” says Clara Hutton a Winans chocolate maker for 42 years. The number of pounds of chocolate that have been made by Hutton numbers in the hundreds of
thousands with even a special chocolate piece created and named for her called the “Miss Clara.” It is a toffee piece with caramels and wurtles. The Reiser’s are thankful for their daily and holiday customers who have been behind their continued success and growth. Reiser added, “To our faithful customers, we at Winans thank you for keeping our family tradition alive and for those of you who have not yet tried Winans, maybe it is time to start a new tradition.” Winans will be host to the Miami County Joint Business After Hours event from 5 to 7 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 17, at Winans Fine Chocolates and Coffee, 122 W. High St., Piqua. “There will be lots of people, lots of history and lots of celebrating.” Laurie said. For more information call (937) 773-2765.

Piqua Compassion Network helps locals that are in crisis Success
Continued from page 1
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 — Piqua Compassion Network was created in 2007, through community partners to meet the basic, legitimate social, physical and spiritual needs of Piqua residents in crisis. This network includes close to twenty churches, community organizations and needs-meeting groups. PCN is a faith-based group of volunteers and staff acting as the hands and feet of Christ to meet individual’s needs in the Piqua community with respect. The Piqua Compassion Network is thankful to be a Piqua Area United Way Member Agency. Their stated goal is not to feed the cycle of need and poverty but to break those cycles whenever possible. They have demonstrated a passion to see struggling families succeed and move to a new level of living. To accomplish this goal they work through two main programs. Basic Needs Assistance is the original work of PCN; it was set up to be very caring but also smart. In this foundational piece the primary goal is to connect people with available resources or vouchers — never cash. “PCN believes that it is a waste of the gifts we receive to re-invent the wheel,” said Ann Hoover, executive director. “Therefore, we collaborate with established services as much as possible. When there is not a suitable match for the need; we provide vouchers to partnering businesses in the community.” At Piqua Compassion Network, they believe that those who give to the

They strive to utilize these gifts wisely to enhance lives and help people overcome obstacles so that they may become, or continue to be productive, fulfilled citizens. Care Guides meet with those who need help with utilities, prescriptions, rent, diapers, gasoline or even work shoes. The Care Guides listen, verify the need and connect people with resources. They speak about budgeting and a future plan. In 2010 the guides met with more than 750 Piqua individuals.To date the numbers are even greater in 2011. While the Basic Needs program spreads care across the community; Circles of Hope is a deep, tap root for people who live in the cycle of generational poverty and desire to move into a lifestyle of stability. “Did you know that people raised in generational poverty live by a different set of family, social and work rules than those from financial stability?” Hoover asked. “Rules that are passed down and actually trap families in

poverty.” Circles of Hope in Piqua was born from a national anti-poverty incentive. The cost to maintain even one child in poverty is devastating to a community. “In Circles of Hope, we are stepping alongside families, one at a time to break that cycle,” Hoover said. “We teach families the tools they need to move from poverty into stability. That teaching is matched with intensive, long term mentoring.” Since beginning in August 2010, Piqua Circles of Hope has impacted 12 households. Proven measures of success have been: eight individuals gaining or improving employment, one family saved their home from foreclosure while others have improved their housing and two individuals are enrolled in college. PCN invites you to a unique exercise — a Poverty Simulation Thursday, Nov. 8 at Piqua Baptist Church 1402 W. High Street. This free event is from 6-8 p.m.

the state of Ohio for the past three years. Hay was born in Mobile, Ala., but her family moved to Ohio when she was five years old. She graduated from Coldwater High School in 1978. She played trumpet in the band, kept stats for football, and ran track for the Cavaliers. She worked part-time at a local jewelry store and was active in her church, teaching CCD classes. “I always had an interest in becoming a teacher,” she said. “My father was a special education supervisor in Auglaize County, and I helped out at the elementary school during my high school study halls.” She enrolled at the University of Dayton and majored in elementary and special education. She lived on campus during the summers and received her bachelor’s degree in only three years. She graduated with top honors, summa cumlaude. Her first job was as an intervention specialist for grades K-8 for Ada Schools. She was there four years. In 1983, she married, and she started post graduate classes at the University of Dayton and achieved a master’s degree in education administration in 1986. “I was encouraged to get into administration by my superintendent Clete Biersack,” she said. “He read to my kindergarten students once a month.” Tragically, he was killed in a car accident after school on a day he read to the students. Hay has a picture of him in her office today. “He taught me to always care about each individual and to do my best each and every day.” The couple moved to Delaware County, and Hay became a supplemental service teacher for the county. “I worked on modifying curriculum for students with special needs,” she said. “After five years, we decided to move back to Coldwater.” She spent nine years as a kindergarten teacher for Coldwater, then, she was named elementary principal, a position she held for nine years until she transferred to Piqua City Schools. “I needed a professional change and a new challenge,” she said. Indeed, that is exactly what she got. The antiquated building is busting
at the seams with 290 students and a staff of 24. The roof develops constant new leaks. The outdated boiler is unable to keep a comfortable temperature in the building, and failing mortar allows rain to seep thru the outside walls. The building is not handicap accessible. “We really need new, safe facilities for our kids and staff,” she said. “Our students deserve the modern, updated buildings to become 21st century learners. The bond issue is truly a once in a lifetime opportunity.” Hay is quick to credit her staff for making the most of the situation. “The Springcreek staff is very energetic and dedicated. They work as a team,” she said. “They are concerned about all the students, not just the ones in their classroom.” She truly enjoys working with her staff and appreciates all their efforts, time, and talents. As the building leader, Hay encourages her teachers to try new things. “I’ve been in education 28 years, but I’m still learning,” she said. “There is always something new to try out and develop.” Her success as a principal has been recognized locally and nationally. Last year, Hay was named Miami County Educator of the Year. In 2007, she was Ohio’s representative as a National Distinguished Principal. “There was one principal from every state. We spent four days being escorted around Washington, D.C. and meeting important people,” she said. “We were given a special tour of the White House and the Capitol.” At home, Hay enjoys scrapbooking, vacationing and relaxing by the lake. She and her husband Jim, retired from special education with Lima City Schools, have been married 29 years. The Hays have a goal of visiting every major league baseball stadium. They recently attended games of the Houston Astros and the San Diego Padres. The couple has a son and a daughter. Kristin is a speech pathologist with Miami County. Michael is a high school science teacher in Mount Dora, Florida and a football, girls’ weightlifting, and baseball coach.

“Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.” (Ecclesiastes 12:13-14 AKJV)
Commentary
Just another promised fix Have you seen that new television ad supporting Senate BIll 5, promising it to be the salvation of our state economy and making jobs fall from the sky? This particular one claims that government employees are earning 43 percent more in salary and benefits than “the rest of us.” Of course “the rest of us” is never defined. I wonder if they are those DP&L executives who will each reap millions once the sale of another Dayton born and raised company is completed. It’s not my sister-in-law who makes $13,000 running the library in her hometown’s middle school. I hope public employees with Doctorate degrees are making 43 percent more than big box store greeters. This new ad now refers to “government workers” instead of “public employees” like earlier ads. I’m impressed with the grammatical verbal trick. Your neighbor might be that public employee who teaches your kids or plows your street or saves your home from burning down. But “government workers” depersonalizes the attack utilizing the cultivated image of anything government as big and bad hopefully making you more susceptible to being influenced. Perhaps these “government workers making 43 percent more than the rest of us” are the Republicans in Columbus who crafted SB5 in the first place. Focusing on Ohio’s public school system, SB5 is simply another attempt by the party in power (for most of my GARY OGG adult life) to again dodge Columnist their constitutional responsibility to provide for the public education of our state’s children. Ohio’s schools have been used as the poster child for every tax proposal coming down the pike. Just pass this stamp act (my wife and I recall collecting these as young children) or this statewide income tax, or this lottery, and schools will be amply rewarded. I once read an analysis that showed schools could have gold plated faucets if every dime of new taxes actually had gone to the schools as promised and not reapportioned elsewhere. During Governor Rhodes’ terms in the 60s, Ohio’s schools received bad press nationally when many districts began closing their doors and sending kids home for the summer before the end of the school year (some as early as Easter) because they were running out of money. Rhodes’ response was to get a law passed making it illegal for schools to close early and forcing them to borrow from the state instead. A big blow came in the early 70s when another law was passed changing school tax levies. Up to this time, levies were based on a millage applied against property values. As property values rose, so did funding covering the increasing costs of doing business due to inflation. The new law said voters no longer were voting on a specific millage but rather a dollar amount that a certain millage would raise. Then as property values rose, millage was rolled back to keep the dollar amount collected the same as what was voted. Now you know why schools have been on the ballot every 2-3 years. Inflation raises costs but dollars remain constant unless additional dollars are voted in. In the 90s, Ohio’s schools again got bad press when it became known our school buildings were crumbling. Children in southeastern Ohio were being forced to cross the street to use bathrooms at gas stations because the ones in their schools were broken. Instead of using general fund appropriations for a building campaign, the state put tobacco settlement money (scheduled to be used elsewhere) into a pot that could be used to share the cost of new buildings but only IF districts also decided to tax themselves for a portion. Many districts with aging facilities are still on this list. But the bad press is gone since school children no longer need to cross the street to pee. Then there are the three separate State Supreme Court rulings that explicitly said the way Ohio funds it’s schools is unconstitutional and must be changed with less reliance on property taxes. Notice any changes yet? The Republican response has been one big collective yawn. Additionally, we now have vouchers and charter schools, which all seemingly are designed to chip away at our constitutionally mandated public system. Thus comes SB5. Proponents say teachers can still bargain for wages. Not true. If a board wants to cut wages, say 10 percent, but the teachers union asks for a 3 percent raise instead, an impasse exists and SB5 allows management to impose it’s settlement. If teachers strike, their wages can be docked. The same can happen for class size. This is not bargaining. Senate Bill 5 is just another promised fix all dressed up to sell. Vote “NO.” Gary Ogg is a retired elementary school principal. He lives south of Casstown with his wife of 40 years, Kathy, along with two Dachshunds, Cinder and Ella. Ogg received a bachelor’s degree in family/child development from The Ohio State University, a master’s in school administration from the University of Cincinnati and a masters’ in counseling from the University of Dayton.
Letters to the Editor
Readers say levy makes ‘cents’ To the Editor: How often do you get a chance to help your children, grandchildren, or friends with a 48 percent discount on your gift. Our neighbors were smart enough to say yes and they now have new school facilities. Look at Houston, Miami East, Bradford, Versailles and others. We need to be smart and say “yes” to the 48 percent discount and build new efficient schools rather then spend the same amount or more dollars to update and maintain outdated facilities. Our forefathers built the schools for
us and now it is our turn to do the same for our future generations, at a discounted price. If you don’t own property, the new schools will be provided to you at little or no costs. The new schools likewise, will be attractive and will bring in new industry and will result in better paying jobs to the area. Do not pass up this sale. The state might not have this money again. It only makes cents. —Tom and Cheryl Buecker Piqua
Former mayor backs amendments To the Editor: Sections: 120, 121, 122, 125 and 127: We need to bring our charter sections on recall up to date with the charters of over 150 other charter cities throughout Ohio and to be consistent with these governing provisions throughout the state. We went through a special recall election where you only needed 1,000 registered voters’ signatures on a petition for recall and as a result that election cost us, the taxpayers in Piqua, over $17,000 and was soundly defeated by the smart voting citizens of Piqua, 73 percent to 27 percent. So let’s vote for Section 121, which will require 2,000 registered voters’ signatures on a petition for recall. A
recall is a very serious thing and should require serious thought and work. Also, Section 127 sets a limit of at least six months in office before a commissioner can be recalled instead of three — only common sense. Section 120 will require a reason for recall — common sense. Section 125 will allow the planning commission to appoint a member to the commission when a commissioner has been recalled and there were no candidates’ names on the ballot to be elected. We won’t need a costly special election again. Let’s vote for all of these common sense amendment sections: 120, 121, 122, 125 and 127. —Frank H. Barhorst Piqua
Writer disagrees with PCS levy To the Editor: The proposed school levy is being promoted through “smoke and mirrors” and outright untruths. There will be no boost to the economy or new jobs created if this boondoggle passes. Almost all of the contractors will come from out of town, as will construction materials, except maybe concrete, and I’m pretty sure even that can be brought in from outside Piqua. Most of the workers will bring box lunches and coolers to work. Local jobs will be eliminated, not created. It’s a simple law of economics. Raise taxes and people have less disposable income to purchase things. A comparison was made to “only a pizza a month.” If thousands of Piquads don’t buy pizza or whatever else they spend money on because it goes for higher taxes, it’s easy to see how this will reduce business income. This is why Kmart closed, leading to job loss. What store will be next? Remember, they haven’t started collecting the tax increase for the “white elephant” library. That, plus this tax increase will raise most people’s property tax by 20-30 percent. Opportunity? No, It will be a monumental local economic disaster. The old hospital will be raised regard-
less of how the vote goes. It was in process and settled before this school issue came about. It’s a non issue to use this as a selling point by the “citizens who wish to vote themselves benefits from the public treasury” crowd at the expense of others — the public treasury being the taxpayers, for the state and county have no money. Anything they have comes from tax collections. So, “free” money from the state is a myth. We paid this in property values? Already high property and other taxes make Ohio and expecially Piqua a very undesirable place for businesses and industry to locate. A recent interview with a captain of industry said “Ohio is the last place they would want to come in.” The three other non public school systems in this town have the same building maintenance and update issues public schools have and are meeting them without complaining, crying and whining, and wanting more money from anyone who lives and breathes (also the not living) just because they live in the area, whether they are affiliated with public schools or not. To protect local jobs and the economy, make sure to vote against this tax increase. —Al Jacomet Piqua

To the Editor: On Nov. 8, Piqua voters are being asked to make an investment in the future of Piqua’s students. Piqua City Schools has been offered nearly half the funding needed to construct three state of the art elementary buildings. These new facilities will bring together the best in facilities, technology, and energy efficiency that will serve our students well for many years to come. When our present buildings were constructed, they were cutting edge. However, as with all things material, their time has come and gone. Piqua’s funding offer from the State of Ohio is truly a once in a lifetime opportunity that we cannot afford to pass up. One way or another, Piqua citizens will have to address the issue of aging and inefficient buildings. For many years our tax dollars have been building new schools in our neighboring districts. Isn’t it time that our tax dollars flow back into Piqua in the form of three new, up to date schools that we can be proud of? —Andy and Carolyn Hite Piqua
Local reader asks support for Issue 2 To the Editor: “Yes” on Issue 2 Who will run Ohio’s state and local governments? Vote “yes” on Issue 2 to have taxpaying citizens make these decisions. It is time for Ohio communities to effectively and efficiently manage their own resources without unsustainable union mandates. Who pays for these mandates? You and I pay! Our state has lost hundreds of thousands of jobs to other states and other countries. Our state is a leader in unemployment. Voting “yes” on Issue 2 will help reverse this trend. I will vote “yes” on State Issue 2 and urge my fellow taxpayers to do the same on Nov. 8. —Mary Ellen McKinley Piqua

YouTube launches broad entertainment venture JAKE COYLE AND RYAN NAKASHIMA Associated Press NEW YORK (AP) — YouTube is making a bold step into original programming in an entertainment venture with some 100 content creators, from Madonna to The Wall Street Journal. The Google Inc.-owned video site said Friday that it’s launching more than 100 new video channels. The partners include an array of Hollywood production companies, celebrities and new media groups that will produce mainly niche-oriented videos. YouTube is shelling out $100 million to producers, according to people familiar with the matter, who spoke on condition of anonymity. The money is
an advance on advertising money the videos will bring in, and Google will recoup its portion first before splitting the proceeds. Advances are as high as $5 million per channel, said another person familiar with the arrangement, also speaking on condition of anonymity. Neither person was authorized to comment publicly on the matter. Google declined to offer financial details of the deals, but said the majority of revenue will go to partners. include Participants Madonna, former NBA star Shaquille O’Neal, comedian Amy Poehler, actor Ashton Kutcher, “Office” star Rainn Wilson, spiritual doctor Deepak Chopra and “Modern
Family” actress Sofia Vergara. Most are creating channels through their companies. production Madonna is a partner with the dance channel DanceOn, while O’Neal plans the Comedy Shaq Network. Lionsgate is presenting a fitness channel, and other channels will be launched by news satire the Onion, professional wrestling’s WWE, online magazine Slate and news service Thomson Reuters. The channels will roll out beginning this month, though most will premiere next year. YouTube says the channels will add 25 hours of new original content daily, with dozens of Web series debuting at scheduled times. Ultimately, YouTube is aiming to create a new
digital video platform that will rival television programming. In a blog posting Friday night, YouTube said the channels are being developed “specifically for the digital age.” The video site compared the expanded video offerings to the advent of cable television. YouTube has tried to build a more advertiserfriendly product of professional-quality video, as opposed to simply usercreated videos. Advertisers generally prefer to have their ads matched with known quantities. YouTube has also previously tried to urge viewers to stay longer with TV-like services like the YouTube Leanback, which continuously plays a personalized selection of videos.

Sins of presents past shouldn’t tarnish the future DEAR ABBY: I was recently invited to a second cousin’s wedding shower and wedding. To be honest with you, if I saw the bride-to-be on the street, I wouldn’t recognize her. Although I won’t be going to her shower, I am sending a shower gift. I plan on attending the wedding because I don’t see this side of the family often. My question is, what gift should I give the happy couple for their wedding? When I got married, her parents gave me a pair of used vases. How could I tell they were used, you ask? Not only were they not in their original packaging, but they also were dirty. Abby, there were dead flies in them! Being a well-mannered bride, I didn’t mention this to my parents, but to this day I still remember. — WANTS TO DO THE RIGHT THING DEAR WANTS: Until I saw your signature, I was tempted to suggest you wash and polish the vases, then nicely wrap and send one to your cousin with a note of congratulations, closing with “… more to follow.” But knowing you want to do the “right” thing, I’m asking you to please not blame her for the actions of her parents, who may have been financially strapped at the time of your wedding. Then find out where she and her fiance are registered and send them something that’s within your budget. DEAR ABBY: My husband and I have been married for eight years and are amazed that most of our married friends are unable to separate for even a night. I was raised in a household where my parents took time for themselves — whether it was my dad’s high school reunion that Mom had no interest in, or my mom’s personal growth seminars that Dad was slow to accept. It worked for 48 years until Mom’s death. The wife of one couple we know refused to attend our high school reunion, so her husband didn’t go either — even though many of his close friends would be in attendance. He doesn’t make plans for himself because everything has to be run past his wife. Does our culture create insecurity? Have we lost our independence? — INDEPENDENT THINKER

Advice
DEAR INDEPENDENT: No. You have described a man who is passive and prefers to leave the social scheduling to his wife. I don’t think it has anything to do with our culture. Many couples operate this way by mutual agreement, and you shouldn’t take it personally. DEAR ABBY: I’m a single, never-married, 50year-old male. I have no children and was raised with strict, conservative Christian values that I have held onto all these years. I have never had any long-term relationships. Recently I met a single gal at work, and we enjoy each other’s company. Our backgrounds, however, are very different. She has been married twice and has two children. In addition, neither of her children was conceived from either of her marital unions. My question is, would our diverse backgrounds impede the fostering of a healthy relationship, or is this something worth pursuing? — RELATIONSHIPCHALLENGED DEAR RELATIONSHIP-CHALLENGED: It depends on whether the two of you can have a meeting of the minds as well as a meeting of the hearts, and whether you are flexible enough to accept her just as she is and vice versa. A NOTE TO PARENTS OF YOUNG CHILDREN: Tonight is the night when wee witches and goblins collect their loot. Please supervise them so they’ll be safe. — ABBY Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

Three hearts was once again artificial and said “Tell me more.” Three spades showed one heart and three clubs! Four clubs said “Tell me more,” and four diamonds said “I have a minimum opening bid.” Four hearts asked for the number of controls (ace equals two, king equals one), and four spades showed three. Four notrump asked “Where are they?” Five diamonds showed the king of clubs; five hearts said “Tell me more.” Five notrump showed the ace of spades and denied the queen of diamonds! So Becker concluded that his partner had both black queens for his opening bid and therefore bid seven clubs, which he made easily after ruffing a heart in the dummy.

Most of the top players use natural bidding, but some employ highly artificial methods to improve their chances of reaching the perfect contract on every deal. Today’s hand, on which North-South
reached the perfect contract of seven clubs on a 43 fit, provides an apt illustration. The deal occurred in the annual Reisinger team championship. North was Ron Rubin, and South was Mike Becker, both multinational champions. They reached the club grand slam after one of the longest bidding sequences on record. It started with a normal one-spade bid by North, but from then on most bids were artificial, with South asking North at each turn to describe his hand. Two clubs was artificial and game-forcing, and two hearts showed unbalanced distribution. Three diamonds over East’s double of two hearts indicated precisely five spades and four diamonds!

Hobart Arena holds special memories Woman who came to landmark as child now works there BY JIM DAVIS Ohio Community Media davis@tdnpublishing.com TROY — Cynde Sroufe still remembers going to Hobart Arena as a child. She took skating lessons there, caught a few Troy Sabres games with her dad, Dale, and distinctly remembers going to a concert in the mid 90s when a little-known country singer by the name of Martina McBride made a stop in Troy. The names and events may have changed, but Sroufe said she continues to enjoy the historic venue on Adams Street. Just in a different way. As an usher, ticket taker, concessionaire and assistant pool manager next door at the Troy Aquatic Park, Sroufe gets to see firsthand how the arena has taken on a renewed sense of importance in the community. “The facility itself is just awesome … with all the updates and the new seating. And the events just keep getting better and better all the time,” she said, rattling off a list of recent acts that have come to Hobart, ranging from ventriloquist Terry Fator and classic rock band For-
eigner to former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin, Christian rock band Third Day and country star Luke Bryan. “People will continue to show up at the events that (Hobart) continues to host. “And I think it’s neat, too, because people from out-of-town who had never been to Troy came here just for those shows.” Long before she started working at Hobart in 2005, Sroufe, who lives in Troy with her husband, Jason, and 1 and a halfyear-old daughter Cher, said she was a regular at many of the arena’s activities. “We spent tons of time there. I took ice skating lessons there when I was 5 or 6 … and I had those little dresses like all the good skaters used to have,” she said. “I can still remember being out there and them trying to teach us to do figure 8s. “I also remember people getting bloody noses … and how it would seep down into the ice and you could still see it the next time you came out,” she said with a laugh. “And I remember being in awe of the Zamboni. I didn’t know what they were doing, but I remember the ice always
being smooth afterward.” When she wasn’t skating on the Hobart ice, she was watching other people on it — including the Troy Sabres minor league hockey team. “My dad used to take me to the Sabres games … and I was in love with Bernie Chiverelli (who played in Troy from 198385 and 1986-89),” she joked. “Dad would get tickets and he would pick one of us to go. And for whatever reason, they always played Danville when we went.” Along the way she saw 41st U.S. President George Herbert Bush speak at Hobart, and the aforementioned Martina McBride concert — at which she had front-row seats. But Sroufe, who graduated from Eastern Michigan University and now teaches math at Northwestern High School, said now that she’s an adult and has a family of her own she’s gained a different perspective on the arena Arena. For one, she’s able to work there part-time, and was even able to work with her mother, Sharon, for a short time before health issues forced her mom to stop. But most of all, Sroufe said she enjoys bumping into people from the community she otherwise might not see.
ANTHONY WEBER/OHIO COMMUNITY MEDIA PHOTO
Cynde Sroufe, who attended several activities at Hobart Arena while growing up in the Troy area, now works part time at the arena as an usher, ticket taker, public ice skating supervisor and concession stand employee. “I think it’s all the different people that you see, whether it’s working the public ice skating events or the concerts. There are just so many different kinds of people that come to the arena,” she said. “You get to see a broad range of people who live in
the community that you might not get to see other places, and that’s kind of cool.” Hobart Arena Assistant Manager Carrie Slater said that friendly outlook and a good work ethic make her a good fit for Hobart.
“She’s just a jack-of-alltrades and a wonderful person,” said Slater, who has worked with Sroufe both inside the arena and at the Troy Aquatic Park. “She’s a dedicated worker, works with minimal supervision and has a super personality.”
Russia veterans School needs votes to win grant Hardin-Houston invited to Nov. 10 seeks funds for event at school athletic complex RUSSIA — Russia military veterans have been invited to a special luncheon at Russia Local School Nov. 10 beginning at 1 p.m. A school-wide assembly will be held in the gym afterward beginning at 2 p.m. Those planning to attend should reply to the FCCLA adviser, Penny Gerling. Veterans and their spouses may attend. The cafeteria will need a fairly accurate count of attendees so they can prepare enough food for the luncheon. The school phone number is 526-3156 or email pgerling@russia.k12.oh. us. In addition, organizers would like to include a picture of each veteran, in uniform, from the time period each
served. If a vet’s picture was not included in last year’s presentation, they ask that one be submitted to the school at least one week before the program. It will be scanned and included in the presentation and returned the day of the program or sooner. Veterans also may scan their pictures at home and submit them via email. The FCCLA will be taking individual pictures of each veteran in attendance to include in next year’s presentation. As in the past, it is tradition to take a group picture at the end of the program of all of the Russia veterans. The organization asks veterans stay a few minutes after the program for the group photo.

HOROSCOPE Monday, Oct. 31, 2011 You’ve learned some valuable lessons in the past and you won’t repeat the same mistakes in the coming year, so you are now ready to move on to more advanced assignments. Make the most of what is handed to you. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Inviting someone to an informal gathering with friends may not be as thoughtful as you intended. If this person doesn’t fit in, it could spoil the fun for everyone. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Make sure you can keep all your commitments, because someone to whom you make a promise will take you at your word and plan his or her entire day around what you say. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Although you may mean well, the way you manage the resources of another may turn out to be a terrible mistake and result in a huge loss. Your intentions are good but irresponsible. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — In trying to complete a specific assignment, you might take on an ally in hopes of finishing it sooner. Sadly, the person you choose could only make matters worse. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — If you have to deal with an assignment that you do not fully understand, don’t pretend you can handle it. Don’t let your pride inhibit you from requesting the help you sorely need. ARIES (March 21-April 19) — Put off taking any financial gambles — the odds simply aren’t in your favor for the moment. It would also be smart to prevent anyone else from making a commitment for you. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — All the wishing in the world won’t make things happen the way you want them to, so if it’s possible, put off all important scheduled events until another day. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — Before you rely on any gossip, check out everything yourself. Regardless of how long it takes to verify something, it’s vital that you don’t take at face value what is being said. CANCER (June 21-July 22) — If your resources aren’t being prudently managed, there is a chance you could respond in a way that could be costly at a later date. Take time to figure things out. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Even if you know what changes need to be implemented concerning your family, you could let haste push you into making a major gaffe. Slow down and think carefully before you upset the apple cart. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — You should take care not to allow your emotions to influence your judgment. The way things are in the real world and the way you perceive them could be galaxies apart. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Although, many times, business can mix very comfortably with social arrangements, this will not be so at present. Do all that you can to keep the two separated.

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.

Bengals rout Seahawks SEATTLE (AP) — Rookie quarterback Andy Dalton threw a pair of firsthalf touchdown passes and Brandon Tate returned a punt 56 yards for a touchdown. Dalton tossed TDs of 14 yards to Jerome Simpson and a 43-yarder that dropped into the arms of A.J. Green in the second quarter to give the Bengals (5-2) a 17-3 lead. From there, the Bengals leaned on their impressive defense that bent, but managed to keep Seattle out of the end zone until the fourth quarter. The victory made Marvin Lewis the winningest coach in Bengals history with 65 career victories.
Browns lose to San Francisco SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Frank Gore ran for both 125-plus yards and a touchdown in a fourth straight game and Michael Crabtree made his first TD reception of the season. Alex Smith completed 15 of 24 passes for 177 yards, leading the NFC West-leading 49ers (6-1) to their fifth consecutive victory since an overtime loss to the Cowboys in Week 2. For Colt McCoy and the Browns (3-4), it's 0-for the Bay Area. They lost two weeks ago in Oakland, then flopped across San Francisco Bay at Candlestick Park. Montario Hardesty has a strained right calf, leaving the Browns without their top two running backs. Hardesty injured his calf in the first half of a 20-10 loss at San Francisco on Sunday running a route and did not return. He is scheduled to have an MRI on Monday, but said the injury does not appear serious. Hardesty was walking around the Browns locker room.

Everyone is chasing Versailles’ Sam Prakel in the Division III boys race. Prakel set a new regional record, finishing in 15:32.74.
Prakel establishes new regional mark Versailles, Russia boys both advance to state meet BY ROB KISER Sports Editor rkiser@dailycall.com TROY — You might think the highlight of the day for Versailles junior Sam Prakel was establishing a new boys Division III regional cross country record in winning the race at Troy Saturday in
15:32.74. But, that came 30 minutes later, when it became official the Tiger boys finished second to return to the state meet as a team for the first time since 2005. They will be joined at state by Russia, who finished fourth. “No, no,” Prakel said. “I am a lot more excited
about what we did as a team. I am just so happy for our team. They have all worked hard and it is going to be a lot more fun having all those guys over there running with me at state.” Versailles coach Mark Pleiman’s reaction told the story. “The boys are back (at
state),” Pleiman said with emotion in both his voice and his eyes. “That was my first year as coach. It really means a lot to me to see them get back to state.” As for the winner, that was never in doubt. Prakel blitzed the field, finishing more than 36 seconds ahead of Tri-Vil-
lage’s Clayton Murphy, who finished second. “I had some tough races here,” Prakel said. “I knew if I was going to get the regional record, I was going to have to run by myself and push myself. I got the record, so I am very happy with my race today.” See BOYS/Page 16
Regional finale Snapp runs final cross country race TROY — Ninety minutes after her final high school cross country race, Piqua senior Kaele Snapp was still coming to terms with it. “I don’t think it has hit me yet,” Snapp said. “I am going to miss it. But, I can still go out and run.” Snapp, making her second appearance at the Troy Division I girls regional meet Saturday, finished 48th in 20:05.68. “I can’t say I am surprised,” Snapp, who had hoped to break her PR of 19:42, said. “It is a slow course. It was (a lot better than she ran at regionals as a sophomore). I will take it for my final race.” Snapp said she was not in a comfort zone at the start of the race. “I was probably more nervous than two years ago,” she said. “There were just so many girls there. I probably went out too fast. I think my first mile was 10 seconds faster than normal, so that probably

SPRINGBORO — Getting to the Division I district finals has not been a problem for the Piqua volleyball team. Taking that next step — that is the next challenge for the Lady Indians after losing in the district finals for the third straight year, this time to a powerful Mount Notre Dame team 25-14, 25-8, 25-12. “It is hard when we
don’t see that kind of speed and height all year,” Piqua coach Chris Davis said. “If we want to get past this, we are going to have to adjust to that quicker.” While Mount Notre Dame clearly showed why they are the secondranked team in the state in Division I, Davis felt Piqua had its moments.

“We came back there in the first game and tied it up,” he said. “Then, they made a few adjustments and we never were able to respond to that. There were times when I thought we took a step forward from previous years. “But, we just have to have better passing. We were fine when the passes were on target. This is the kind of match where your passing has to be sharp the entire match and that just didn’t happen tonight.” The Lady Indians finished the season with a 19-6 record, its best mark in a number of years. “I thought we did take a step forward,” he said. “There were a few matches we could have won that we didn’t, but it has been a good season.” Davis sees a bright future with the Piqua program. “I am excited to see what next year brings,” Davis said. “We are losing two great players. Hayley (Monroe) stepped in on the right side this year and did a great job and Brooke (Reinke) is a fouryear starter. Those are two spots that are going to be filled by the underclassmen — somebody is going to need to step up and do that.” Reinke, who will play in the state all-star game next month, had nine kills, four digs, one block and one ace for the Lady Indians, while Monroe had one assist, two digs and one block. Shelby Vogler had seven kills and six digs, while Jasmine Davis had 20 assists and 11 digs. Tasha Potts had two kills and two blocks; while Makayla Carnes had six kills, five digs and a block. Taylor Bachman led the defense with 12 digs, while Macy Yount had two and Abby Berger added one.
D-III Lady Vikings roll TIPP CITY — The Miami East volleyball team coasted past Taylor 25-5, 25-16, 25-17 in a Tippecanoe D-III district final. The Lady Vikings, 25-1, will play Anna at 6 p.m. Wednesday at Trent Arena in a Kettering regional semifinal. “Once the first set was through, we knew we were in control,” Miami East coach John Cash said. “We were crisp in that first set. We came out and executed well. “We ran our game plan. It got a little sloppy later

But, Taylor (17-8) hung around in the second and third games, but Miami East’s blocking was too much for them. “We changed our tempo up front a little bit,” Cash said. “We are usually more of a passive blocking team. But, Taylor sets the ball tight to the net, so we had to get up higher and press our hands further. “From this point on, teams are going to be running their offense tighter to the net. We have got to be able to stop the ball.” Sam Cash had 13 kills, 11 assists, three aces, six digs and one block. Angie Mack had nine kills, seven digs, one ace and one block; while Abby Cash had eight kills, 14 assists, five digs, one block and one ace. Leah Dunivan had three blocks, two kills, one
volleyball team took the sting out of Seven Hills with a 25-13, 25-10, 25-12 to win a 19th straight district title Saturday at the Trojan Activity Center. Which means, none of the current Lehman players had been born the last time the Lady Cavaliers weren’t playing in the regional tournament. “It is pretty amazing,” Lehman coach Greg Snipes. “The coaches were talking about it and I don’t think the players really think that much about the streak.” Lehman, 23-3, will play Fort Loramie in the second match Thursday in the Tipp City D-IV regional semifinals at Tippecanoe High School. The Lady Cavaliers took control immediately in the opening game Saturday. After Paxton Hatcher’s kill evened things at 1-1, Ellie Waldsmith and Morgan Schmitmeyer had kills on Meghan Earhart’s serve, before Ellie Cain served eight straight points, which included an ace, a block by Waldsmith and a kill by Andrea Thobe. It was 16-5 after an Erica Paulus ace and kill by Waldsmith, before the Stingers played them evenly the rest of the game. “I thought we were really sharp at the start,” Snipes said. “It was disappointing we didn’t do a better job of finishing off that first game, but I thought we did a much better job the last two games.” And there are big matches ahead. “We know we are going to have some close matches,” Snipes said. “We had some matches at sectionals and district that weren’t that close, but it gets more difficult with each match.” Schmitmeyer had 12 kills to lead the hitters, while Waldsmith and Lindsey Spearman each had five kills. Thobe had 10 kills and 11 assists, while Cain had 10 aces and 18 assists.

FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS
Buccs finish perfect regular season BY BEN ROBINSON GoBuccs.com ARCANUM — In spite of sealing their second straight 10-0 regular season, second straight Cross County Conference title and tenth title in the last thirteen years — plus securing the twelfth playoff birth in thirteen seasons — their wasn't much celebration for the Covington Buccaneers after a 34-0 win over Arcanum on Friday. "That's probably because this was such a physical game," explained Covington coach Dave Miller as to why his team wasn't animated after the win. "I know the kids are excited about what they did (finishing 10-0), but they know there is more to do. They're looking forward to the next challenge." That challenge is the state playoffs. The Buccs locked down the fourth seed in Region 20 and will host Coldwater Friday night. "We're not sure who we'll face," Miller said after Friday’s game. "There's always speculation that we'll see this team or that team, but we won't know for sure until probably Sunday." Until then the Buccs will review the film from Friday's season finale against Arcanum. And you can be assured Miller saw plenty of things his team needs to work on. "Definitely," Miller agreed. "We weren't very sharp offensively in the first half and I know a lot of that was on me. They threw some things at us defensively that I wasn't expecting and I didn't do a very good job of making the adjustments in my play calling." Still, Covington's defense was stellar all night, keeping Arcanum off the board and giving the Buccs great field position in the first half. The short field for the Buccs resulted in a oneyard touchdown run by Trent Tobias in the first quarter to give Covington a 7-0 lead. But Covingon fumbled on their its possession as the offense was in the process of moving the ball into scoring range in the second quarter. "We turned the ball over there in the first half when we were driving and I think that gave them some momentum," Miller explained. "Fortunately for us, our defense stepped up and kept them off the board." Leading 7-0 to start the

Alex Baskerville had another big game for Covington Friday night. second half, Covington finally got the big play it needed. Junior fullback Alex Baskerville found a crease up the middle and raced 82 yards for the score and a 13-0 lead as a mis-handled snap on the pointafter attempt prevented the extra point. "We hit the big play there by Alex and I think that got us going offensively," Miller said. "You don't want to rely on big plays to get you going, but that came at a good time." Because it not only sparked the Covington offense, it added fuel to the fire for the Buccaneer defense, which gave the offense the ball back with a three-and-out. And the offense took advantage with a well executed drive that was capped by a five-yard run by Kyler Deeter. Steven Blei made true on the extra point attempt to push Covington's lead to 20-0 with one quarter to play. "Defensively we controlled the line of scrimmage and I think that was critical," said Miller. "They
do some nice things offensively and the key for us was controlling them up front." The Covington defense continued to come through in the fourth quarter as Sam Earick picked off a Trojan pass near midfield. Covington's offense then picked up where it left off, driving the ball methodically down the field and putting the ball in the end zone on a fiveyard run by Isaiah Winston. "Isaiah wasn't feeling very good," Miller said of his senior quarterbackslash-slot back. "He had some stomach issues there and was throwing up. But he sucked it up and played hard." After another defensive stop, the Buccs put an exclamation point on a solid effort with one final drive to pay dirt. Trent Tobias walked in from a yard out for his second touchdown of the night and Steven Blei drilled the extra point to make the final score 34-0. "This was a tough win," said Miller. "They (Arcanum) had a lot riding
on this game with senior night and the possibility of getting into the playoffs, so they gave us their best shot. They are scrappy and they came after us." Covington took all the Trojans could give and methodically put together an impressive effort. And even though individual statistics don't mean much in the grand scheme of things for the Buccaneers, the 177-yard performance by Alex Baskerville put him over 1,000 yards on the season. "That's a nice accomplishment by Alex, but he'll be the first to tell you that his line had a lot to do with that," said Miller. Still, its not about individual numbers for the Buccs, but team numbers. And the most important number is 10-0 and a home game in the state playoffs. "It's a new challenge and a new season," Miller said of the playoffs. "We'll give it our best shot." Which will happen on Friday night against Coldwater.

Continued from page 13 Francis advanced as individuals. “When, I looked after I got done, I saw our team was doing really well,” Berger said. “I was really happy to see that. That’s what we run for and we are hoping to do well next week.” As for Berger, who has had some close races in past years at the regional, it was a fourth straight top three finish at the regional meet and her second straight regional title. “I just try and go out and run my best,” Berger said. “Of course, there is some pressure (being a two-time state champion). If I run my very best, then I have done everything I can do for my team.” And she didn’t mind the change in the course, due to construction on the bridge near Hobart Arena. “It probably was a good thing,” she said. “Because we are going to be running a different course at state this year (the meet is being held at National Trail Raceway). It will be new for everyone.” Versailles put three runners in the top 20, with Natalie Grillot finishing 12th in 20:06.80; and Chloe Warvel was 19th in 20:34.62. Other Lady Tigers runners included Hannah Wenig, 31, 20:53.86; Brooke Pothast, 32, 20:56.81; Jaquiline Moorman, 37, 21:05.13; and Frantz, 48, Nicole 21:29.69. “Tammy (Berger) ran an amazing race,” Versailles coach Mark Pleiman said. “It is always nice to get one point for your first runner. “All the girls ran well and we still have a chance
at winning the state team title. Nicole (Frantz) finished ahead of West Liberty-Salem’s fifth runner and added a point to their team total. That is not something you see a lot at this level.” ■ Roeth, a senior, was in a race with West LibMeghan erty-Salem’s Vogel for second. Vogel took second in 19:07.90, while Roeth was clocked in 19:11.22. “I finished seventh here the last two years,” Roeth said. “So, I am happy with finishing third. My time was about 10 seconds slower than my PR. It wasn’t a fast course, so I am happy with that.” Houston coach Sandy Heitkamp was not surprised by Roeth’s performance. “She had beaten that girl (Meghan Vogel) at Anna,” Heitkamp said. “Allison’s (Roeth) goal was to be in the top three, so maybe she was just happy with that. “I am not sure. The only thing that matters is she has another race next week.” Roeth enjoyed the competition with Vogel. “We push each other and make each other better,” Roeth said. “I just want to thank God for blessing me with this talent and giving me the opportunity to compete at this level.” Houston junior Nicolette Holthaus finished 26th in 20:46.40. “Nicole (Holthaus) was in the top 30,” Heitkamp said. “She ran a very solid race. “Both girls ran well today, so I am happy with that.” ■ Francis, a junior, ran
at the state meet last year as part of the Russia team. Now, she get a second opportunity, after finishing eighth in 19:34.0. “One of my goals was to finish in the top 10,” Francis said. “I am really happy to be able to go back to state and that I was able to run as well as I did. It was a tough race today.” Russia coach Doug Foster was pleased with Francis’ race. “Lauren has been sick all week,” he said. “She went out there and gutted it out. She has worked her butt off and she deserves it.” Foster had mixed emotions after the race. Russia finished fifth with 127 points, missing out on state by just two points. Minster was fourth with 125. “I feel bad for the girls,” Foster said. “I know we are one of the top 10 teams in the state. But, sometimes you have some things thrown at you that you just can’t overcome and that is what I told the girls.” Also running for Russia were Becca Meyer, 29, 20:51.78; Kirstin Voisard, 30, 20:53.62; Macy Monnin, 38, 21:07.86; Claudia Monnin, 62, 21:47.48; Hannah Bornhorst, 91, 22:48.19; Emily Borchers, 110, 24:04.94. ■ Covington finished 10th with 265 points.

Continued from page 13 Prakel went so fast, he caught Pleiman off-guard. He didn’t see Prakel cross the finish line and thought he had missed his chance at the record, until he saw him taking his shoes off behind the finish line. “Again, it is always nice to have that number one next to your first runner,” Pleiman said. “Sam (Prakel) is an amazing runner. “He was at 10 minutes after two miles. I knew that was a little bit faster than normal.” And the rest of the Tigers had great days as well. Michael Wenig was 13th in 16:56.63; while Sam Subler was 21st in 17:20.83. “Garret (Rose) had a tough time today, but boy did those guys step up,” Pleiman said. “Michael (Wenig) ran a PR and broke 17 for the first time, Sam (Subler) was right at his PR. You can go right down the line.”
Also running for Versailles were Tyler Rose was 55, 17:56.79; Andrew Slonkosky, 66, 18:13.64; Garret Rose, 93, 18:48.73; Matt Subler, 97, 18:58.02. All that was left for the announcement, when they read the teams in reverse order (from last to first). “Once, they got past fifth, that is all I cared about,” Prakel said with a laugh. “It didn’t matter where (in the top four) we finished.” ■ Mariemont won with 59, while Versailles was second with 121, West Liberty-Salem was third with 123 and Russia was fourth with 127, well in front of Summit Country Day, who was fifth with 162. “We felt like we were fourth coming in,” Russia coach Doug Foster said. “We knew it was going to be close, but the kids embraced the opportunity and now we are going to state.” Steven Stickel led a Raider team that did a great job of pack running,
finishing 17th in 17:07.46. Other Russia runners included Jordan Gariety, 32, 17:33.56; Colin Ball, 34, 17:33.67; Bryan Drees, 41, 17:41.74; Brandon Barlage, 44, 17:44.97; Alex Herron, 54, 17:54.83; John Heuing, 80, 18:27.10. “That (the pack running) is one of the things we talked about,” Foster said. “We needed all five guys in the 17s and that is exactly what happened. That is going to be a tough race at state, so we will see what happens.” ■ Covington finished 10th with 260 points. Bucc runners included Lane White, 35, 17:35.39; Alex Schilling, 58, 18:02.68; Matt Carder, 60, 18:03.54; Dustin Fickert, 64, 18:12.49; Isaac Canan, 112, 19:35.70; Nick Tobias, 124, 20:06.85; Nate Dunn, 128, 20:20.77. ■ Miami East had two runners competing.

Tale of two seasons for OSU, Badgers Miller pass lifts Buckeyes, destroys Wisconsin COLUMBUS (AP) — Three weeks ago, Wisconsin seemed to be cruising toward a season to remember, unbeaten and in the running for a shot at a national championship. Meanwhile, Ohio State was 0-2 in conference play and seemingly playing out the string in a season beset with NCAA problems, suspensions and bad breaks. How quickly things have changed. The Badgers, once No. 4 and considered an elite team, have been deflated by two soul-crushing defeats on successive Satur-
day nights on the road. The Buckeyes, their season all but written off, now find themselves a strong contender to play in the first Big Ten championship game — if they get a little help. Two teams, different outcomes, different perspectives. One is down, the other feels it has turned the corner. "We always believe everything happens for a reason," Wisconsin coach Bret Bielema said after his team's latest hard-luck loss. It's difficult to imagine what the reasons would be
behind two weeks of heartache. In one of the most replayed videos of this or any college season, the Badgers famously lost at Michigan State on Oct. 22. Then, seven days almost to the minute, Wisconsin was struck again by late, long TD pass. On Saturday night at Ohio Stadium, the Buckeyes' Braxton Miller looped a 40-yard touchdown pass to wide-open Devin Smith with 20 seconds remaining. The Badgers ran off four more plays but could not pull off some magic of their own.

Cory Brandewie intercepted a Lehman pass and returned it to the Lehman 39, but on the very first play, Loramie fumbled the ball away. Lehman went threeand-out, and punted to Loramie’s 48, and on the first play of the drive, Tyler Zeis went 52 yards for a score and a 7-0 lead after one quarter. The Redskins then added three more scores in the second quarter, the first on a 44-yard run by Brandewie. Delaunte Thornton then scored on a 17-yard run, and the first-half scoring was capped off by a 13-yard pass from Seth Guillozet to Jake Cordonnier. The Redskins put it away with three more scores in the third quarter, two by Cordonnier on passes of 26 and 52 yards
from Guillozet. Brandewie also scored on a 63-yard run.

For 22 seniors, it was a memorable way to finish. “I wouldn’t trade the last four years for anything,” Travis Nees said. “I will never forget this (his final game). I couldn’t have scripted anything better than this.”

Ryan Hughes finds running room Friday night. ing the corner for a 7-yard TD run. “The offensive line was doing a great job,” Wellbaum said. Then, Piqua found itself fighting a field position battle. “We started with 90 yards or more to go three times and Fairborn kept having a short field,” Nees said. “Despite all that, we were ahead 13-6.” That’s because Dembski, who finished with 187 yards on 21 carries, turned the tide with a 74yard run to the Fairborn 4 late in the first half. It was the second play of a three-play, 84-yard drive. It looked like Dembski might go the distance, but he was caught from behind. “I stepped in a pothole at the 20,” Dembski said with a smile. “I’m not using that as an excuse. You always want to score when you get in the open field.” Wellbaum turned the corner on the next play for his second TD of the half. And the TD came one series after Nees had called timeout to talk to his offensive line. “We had too many penalties,” Nees said. “We had four penalties and a bad snap — we just needed to get settled down and the offensive line responded.” Piqua completely controlled the third quarter, as Fairborn ran just six plays and did not make a
first down. While the Indians couldn’t cash in on their first drive, they did on the second with help from the Skyhawks. On fourth-and-seven from the 10, a field goal attempt was wide, but Fairborn ran into the kicker. Six plays later, on fourth-and-goal from the one, Dembski plowed into the end zone and the second of four Evan Grissom PAT’s made it 20-6 with 1:21 remaining in the third quarter. “It always feels great to help the team,” Dembski said. Then, Nees got the first of his two fourth-quarter interceptions to set Piqua up at the Fairborn 29. The drive ended with Dembski’s second oneyard TD run, after he ran for 11 and nine yards on the previous two plays. “The offensive line was doing a great job blocking in front of me,” Dembski said. The final score came after Nees’s second interception and was fitting for Wellbaum’s final carry in an electrifying career. From the Piqua 16, he found open field and went 84 yards for the touchdown. “I slipped at first,” Wellbaum said with a laugh. “Then, I saw open field to the end zone. It felt great.” Piqua rolled up 360 yards rushing against the GWOC South co-champs. Wellbaum had 79 on 13

FAIRBORN — For the Piqua football seniors, it probably would have been hard to draw up a better way to end the season. Piqua pounded Fairborn 34-6 Friday night for its third straight convincing victory to finish 6-4, that last two coming over two team with winning records. And they did it with former Piqua great Brandon Saine of the Green Bay Packers, watching from the sidelines. But, Piqua coach Bill Nees said it was not any different than the team he saw all year. “Yes, we played well the last three games,” Nees said. “But, I thought they played well every Friday. We had nine good games — yes, we had a bad game against Troy and we admit that.” While it looks like Piqua will miss the postseason, they are certainly playing like a team that could do a lot of damage in the postseason. “It is a great way to finish,” Piqua running back Jon Dembski, who finished near the 1,400-yard mark rushing for the season said. “I think we definitely are (playing their best football right now).” And it was Dembski and quarterback Taylor Wellbaum combining for five touchdowns. “This feels great,” Wellbaum said. “What you saw the last three weeks, what you saw tonight was Piqua football. That is the way we should have been playing for the last three years.” On Fairborn’s first possession the Skyhawks were driving when quarterback Kendrick Williams had the ball taken out of his hands and Brandon Pummill recovered. On the Skyhawks next possession, they went 44 yards in three plays, with Williams running it in from eight yard out for a 6-0 lead. But, it was all Piqua after that. For the second straight week, a potent offense was limited to less than 200 yards by Piqua’s “D”. And safety Travis Nees capped his career with two interceptions. “It feels great,” Nees said. “It was a great effort by everyone on the field tonight. The defense is a close unit and we definitely came together and stepped up the last three weeks.” Bill Nees said defensive penetration was a key. Solomon Carnes, Jordan Feeser, Kevin Richardson and Mike Haney, along with linebackers Brad Dotson and Pummill, were all involved in sacks during the game. “I thought the key (to stopping Fairborn) was when our defensive line started getting up the field and getting pressure on (Kendrick) Williams,” Nees said. “When they tried a couple screen passes, our linebackers had great coverage. That was important.” Piqua put together a four-play, 65-yard drive to tie it late in the first quarter, with Wellbaum turn-
