Editor’s Note: The Piqua Daily Call will be running Q&As during the next week to help readers understand the Nov. 8 Piqua City Schools’s bond issue.

Q: Why build new rather than renovate existing buildings?

A.: There are several reasons, the most important of which is that building new will save taxpayers millions of dollars over time.After all, we’re not talking about slapping on a coat of paint. Anyone who has renovated an entire building knows that the costs are often as great, and sometimes even higher, than building new. With schools, every system needs to be replaced or updated, and building standards that didn’t even exist years ago— -like asbestos removal and student security—- must now be followed.Patching up buildings that are nearing the century mark rarely produces economical results. In addition,please keep in mind that the State of Ohio requires a district to build new if the cost to renovate is not a good value. In Piqua’s case, it was found that it would be an inefficient use of funds to renovate. In addition, renovating now would mean that the buildings will need major work down the road—-and the State will no longer be providing support for such projects. After years of research, including review by the citizens committee, it was determined that not building new would result in higher operating costs and far shorter useful lives for Piqua’s elementary school buildings.

“For students and teachers, (Fiscal Emergency) would mean each and every decision would be made by someone by the state.

Whether a computer was fixed, or classroom supplies are ordered — everything would be decided by a state official,” Rappold said. “Knowing our community, they felt very comfortable offering suggestions and it could be very unfortunate to have decisions being made by someone that isn’t from the school district.”

The ballot issue would collectively raise $2.55 million dollars pery ear of general operating funds.

FLETCHER — Two Fletcher residents are seeking the mayor’s seat for community members to vote on Nov. 8: Bonnie A. Sullenberger, 69, has served as a Fletcher council member previously. She is a graduate of Miami East, Elkhart University of Medical and Dental Technique in Indiana and has attended Upper Valley Career Center and Edison Community College. Sullenberger is currently employed as an Air Force civilian at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Fairborn. “With this government experience, I feel I would qualify for government service at the local level to make the most impact,” Sullenberger said via letter. “My federal knowledge should transition to the local level in order to prepare a strategic plan for the future of Fletcher.” Sullenberger said the main issues the office of Fletcher mayor faces is “the main issue of small villages dealing with the current economy will be impacted with drastic financial cuts in balancing the state budget in Columbus.” “Out-of-the-box thinking will have to be considered because these villages could collapse financially,” she said. “Safety services will have to be a top priority within any entity. Fletcher has lost their local emergency service and a local police department. This situation may have to be discussed and refocused for better safety conditions within the village.” Sullenberger said the reason she is the best candidate for the office of mayor is “I am not a politician.” “So if I am elected, I am going to try some old-fashioned common sense in trying to solve problems within Fletcher.

Common sense, along with knowledge, is an appropriate trait for administrative decisions.

“Collaborations and combining services with other entities might be options to consider. There appears to be a lack of communication concerning the village business. As mayor, I would welcome the input and

Miami East seeks funds

BY MELANIE YINGST Staff Writer myingst@tdnpublishing.com CASSTOWN — With a 1.75 percent earned income tax issue on the ballot for community members of the Miami East Local School district the fate of athletics, extra-curricular activities,fine arts and electives won’t be the only issue at stake on Nov. 8 ballot.

Also at stake — local control of the Miami East Local School district.

According to Superintendent Dr.Todd Rappold, if the district is unsuccessful on Nov. 8, the district would more than likely be categorized as “Fiscal Emergency” immediately after the election.The district was placed in “Fiscal Caution” in September after an independent audit from the Ohio Department of Education.

“If we are not successful, we will be in fiscal emergency and the state will begin taking over the school district,” Rappold said

Oct. 28. Rappold said in his community newsletter, state auditors are closely monitoring the results of the Nov. 8 election for the district. If the district is unsuccessful during the upcoming election it will in all likelihood hasten the state’s recommendation that the district be considered for the Fiscal Emergency designation.

Voters must consider to replace the district’s current continuing 1 percent traditional income tax to a continuing 1 percent, with an additional 0.75 percent earned income tax.

According to the website www.votevikingpridenow.org, the 1.75 percent income tax, based on adjusted gross income, would cost an additional $300 per year or approximately $25 per month based on a $40,000 income.

Rappold urged community members to contact the Miami County auditor’s office or their workplace’s human resource

Hubert Eugene Magee FREDERICKSBURG, Texas — Hubert Eugene Magee, Sr., 92, of Fredericksburg, Te x a s, passed away at his residence on Oct. 1 7 , MAGEE 2011.

During his final days, he was surrounded by his loving sons and longtime caregivers, Tony and Tia Escamilla.

Hubert was the second of ten children born to Ray and Ruth Wintrow Magee on December 16, 1918, in Bradford. He was raised on the family farm near Bradford during the Depression and was a top student at Bradford High, where he graduated in 1936.

In 1940, Hubert married Velma Coon, and together they settled into a home adjacent to the family farm, raising their three sons: Hubert, Jr. (Butch), John, and Mike, as well as their niece, Mary Kay. Hubert was dedicated to his family and not only labored tirelessly to modernize their house that was built in the 1800s, but also nurtured a large garden every year to help feed the family.

During the late 1930s and early 1940s, Hubert was employed as an electro-mechanical technician while he studied evenings to advance his already vast knowledge of electronics, radio and early TV. His technical expertise eventually expanded to include numerous kinds of equipment, and before long, Hubert was known as the go-to expert whenever someone needed technical assistance.

In the early 1940s, his knowledge and attention to detail led to a job at Lear Incorporated of Piqua, employed as a life-test supervisor in their “Torture Chamber” test lab. He was one of their most valued employees, even being called upon to tutor the founder’s son, Bill Lear, Jr. From the mid-1940s into the 1960s, Hubert was an instrument and test engineer for General Motors’ Aeroproducts Operations of Dayton, testing propellers on the ground and in flight. From the 1960s into the 1970s, he worked

General Motors’ for Frigidaire Division, ultimately being promoted as their test lab supervisor. At General Motors, Hubert was known as an outstanding problem solver with a remarkable memory and was called upon to solve technical problems at other divisions as well.

In 1961, Hubert and Velma moved to the Dayton area.

In 1973, Hubert retired from General Motors, and in 1980, he and Velma moved to Fredericksburg, TX. Once there, Hubert's technical abilities were quickly recognized, and he was called on by friends and neighbors to repair their clocks, watches, appliances and electronic equipment. He was always willing to help and found great pleasure in doing so, especially since he could fix anything. Hubert also enjoyed playing “old favorites” on his Gulbransen organ.

In 1999, Hubert's wife of 59 years, Velma, passed away.

Hubert is survived by his three sons and their spouses: Mike and Susan Magee of Dayton, John and Connie Magee, of Ca., and Butch and Doris Magee of Tx. He is also survived by four grandchildren: Christine Magee, Andrew Magee, Allison Drazsnzak, and Marie Melancon, as well as two great-granddaughters, India and Phoebe Drazsnzak, and several nieces and nephews.

Also surviving are five brothers and one sister and their spouses: Galen Magee of Fla., Bob and Alma Magee of Englewood, Miriam Erbaugh of Greenville, Jim and Barbara Magee of Covington, Ralph and Joyce Magee of Bradford, and Don and Dixie Magee of Bradford.

Preceding him in death were his brother, Glenn Magee, and sisters, Mildred Weikert and Alice Haggard.

The family will greet friends and family from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. Saturday morning, at Stocker-Fraley Funeral Home in Covington, Ohio. A memorial service will follow at 11 a.m.

Memorial donations may be made to the charity of one's choice.

Bank of America nixes $5 debit card fee CANDICE CHOI AP Personal Finance Writer NEW YORK (AP) — Bank of America Corp. is scrapping its plan to charge a $5 monthly fee for making debit card purchases after an uproar and threatened exodus by customers.

The about-face comes as customers petitioned the bank, and mobilized to close their accounts and take their business elsewhere.

The outcry had already prompted other major banks, including JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Wells Fargo & Co., to cancel tests of similar debit card fees last week.

SunTrust Banks and Regions Financial Corp. followed suit on Monday.

Anne Pace, a spokeswoman for Bank of America, declined to say whether the company experienced a spike in account closures since announcing plans for the debit card fee in September.

But in a statement Tuesday, Bank of America’s coChief Operating Officer David Darnell said the decision was based on customer feedback. “Our customers’ voices are most important to us. As a result, we are not currently charging the fee and will not be moving for-

Pace added that a “changing competitive marketplace” also played a role.

The retreat by the banking industry on debit fees comes amid growing public anger over higher bank fees.

“When I heard about the fee, it was the last straw for me,” said Molly Katchpole, a 22-year-old nanny who

started the online petition urging Bank of America to drop the debit fee. “I’m living paycheck to paycheck and one more fee was just too much.”

Katchpole said it was exciting that customers were able to sway a big corporation to rethink its decision.

But she already closed her account a few weeks ago and said the bank’s decision won’t win her back.

Dan McEowen, 59, also has served on the Fletcher village council for the last nine years. A graduate of Miami East and Upper Valley Career Center, McEowen said he understands the scope of village responsibilities and infrastructure changes for its future.

“We are in the process for trying to get state and fed-

eral grant money to redo State Route 36 including curbs and sidewalks,” McEowen said.“I’d like to see that project through completion.”

McEowen also said he’d like to see upgrades to the village’s playground equipment and to the park grounds if funds were available.

“I’ve been on the council since 2002 and I have been

involved with all the town’s activities and have knowledge of what’s going in the village,” he said.

McEowen said he enjoyed being part of the council to help with the village’s recent upgrades of its sewer project and although he won’t make any promises, he hopes to serve the village as mayor“to do what is best with the resources we have.”

place to keep all sports, band, choir and other extracurricular activities financially self-sufficient.

The cost? Rappold estimates the district would have to implement a per activity, per student participation fee of approximately $500 to $600, not including the district’s current $110 transportation fee which was put in place this year.

“Everything needs to be 100 percent self-sufficient to pay the officials, game sites, transportation — everything it takes to run an event,” Rappold said of the fee.

Rappold said the district has worked hard to engage students in extra-curricular activities, raising the participation in six years from 50 percent to 60 percent of high school students participating in at least one activity whether its sports, music or even FFA. “Without a doubt, studies have repeated shown that when a student is inParticipation fee volved in any extra-curricIf the levy is unsuccess- ular activity, whether its ful, Rappold said a participation fee would immediately be put in

union would have to be first considered. The district’s unions for both teachers and support staff have agreed to a 0 percent increase in salary for the next four years and 10-15 percent more in health care contributions. The district has already reduced 11 staff members including: seven teachers, four nonteaching positions, and administrators across the district.

“These reductions would include the elimination of elementary art, elementary music, elementary physical education, nearly all electives in grades 7-12, and significantly larger class sizes in all grades K-12,” Rappold said.

raise an additional $882,000 per year. (See pull-out for earned income tax information).

The issue represents 23 percent of the district’s general operation fund.

Rappold said with the state funding cuts of nearly $1.1 million, the economy’s affect on property values and income receipts the district was at a crossroads for funding.

“We had several grants that we were hopeful to receive that we did not,” Rappold said, explaining how the district went from ending the current fiscal year $220,000 to nearly $587,000 in the red after the ODE’s audit. “The biggest impact was that we were confident we would receive several of the larger grants we normally got each year and we didn’t— the agencies we received grant money from are simply out of money.”

Four years of excellent with distinction state rating to state minimums Rappold said the district continues to achieve high test scores despite cuts, including the district’s fourth “Excellent with Distinction” rating and only one out of 15 districts to do so four years consecutively.

Yet, the district would have to slash electives and only offer state minimums across the district which would reduce 10-15 additional staff members, Rappold said.

“In all likelihood, staffing would be reduced at the end of the (school) year,” Rappold said. Rappold said contractual obligations with the teacher’s

Honor vets by supporting Showers, cooler temperatures Wreaths Across America PIQUA — Melcher-Sowers Funeral Home will again be offering local residents the opportunity to participate in Wreaths Across America Day, Saturday, Dec. 10.

In 1992, the Arlington Wreath Project was started by Morrill Worcester, with the donation and laying of 5,000 Christmas wreaths being placed on graves in Arlington National Cemetery.

By 2005, the project became wellknown with photos of gravestones with wreaths covered in snow circulated around the Internet.

In 2006, more than 150 state and national cemeteries conducted wreath laying ceremonies simultaneously. And in 2008, more than 300 locations conducted ceremonies in every state, Puerto Rico and in 24 overseas cemeteries, when 60,000 volunteers placed 100,000 wreaths on veterans’ graves.

The opportunity to purchase a wreath and place at local veteran’s graves is now available through Melcher-Sowers, the exclusive Veterans & Family Memorial Care Provider for Piqua.

Wreaths Across America reaches out to thousands of children each year with the message of Remember, Honor and Teach. The importance of honoring each fallen serviceman/woman as an individual is stressed. The wreath laying is now held each year on the second Saturday of December and was unanimously voted by the US Congress as “Wreaths Across America™ Day.” By offering sponsorships to the public, Wreaths Across America hopes that one day every veteran’s resting place will be adorned with a wreath for the holiday season.

Local residents may honor their local hero who is buried at any local cemetery by sponsoring a $15 wreath by contacting now thru Nov. 28, by stopping by Melcher-Sowers

A chilly start is expected this morning with temperatures above normal in the afternoon.

Lehman music students start fruit sale SIDNEY — Students from Lehman Catholic High School who participate in music programs have kicked off the annual sale of citrus fruit. Vocal and instrumental students are selling a variety of items, including oranges, grapefruit, tangelos, tangerines, pears and apples. Small (20 pound) and large (40 pound) boxes of navel oranges, juice oranges and grapefruit continue to be the primary sellers and thus the focus of the sale, but gift boxes and combination orders are becoming increasingly popular.

Tangerines, apples and pears can be ordered in a “suitcase sized” box. Tangelos (a cross between a tangerine and grapefruit)

HIGH: 56

are also available in large or small boxes.

The “Citrus Sampler” is a combination box of 24 navel oranges and 12 grapefruit. The “Gift Box” contains 12 navel oranges, 12 grapefruit and 12 Washington Delicious apples. The “Fresh Trio” includes 12 navel oranges, 12 grapefruit and 12 D’Anjou pears. The “Fresh Medley” is a smaller combination box with 10 navel oranges, six grapefruit and six D’Anjou pears.

The “2-Ti-Fruti” contains 10 navel oranges and 12 tangerines. “Simply Citrus” has six navel oranges, six grapefruit and six D’Anjou pears.

Smaller boxes ideal for gift-giving or for smaller households include the

“Junior Citrus Sampler (12 navel oranges and six grapefruit), the “Junior Gift Box (6 navel oranges, 6 grapefruit and 6 Washington Delicious apples) and the “Junior Fresh Trio” (6 navel oranges, 6 grapefruit and 6 D’Anjou pears.)

The annual citrus sale is one of the primary sources of revenue for the Lehman Catholic High School Music Department.

The sale is sponsored by the Lehman Music Boosters, who raise more than $30,000 each year to provide support for the school’s music programs.

The Music Boosters provide funding for transportation, instruments and instrument maintenance, music, equipment, uniforms, contest fees,

awards, and other items needed by the Lehman band and choirs. As a sales incentive, music students participating in this year’s citrus sale receive 15 percent of their sales as trip credits for the Music Department trip to Memphis and Nashville in the spring of 2012.

Members of the community wishing to place orders can contact any Lehman music student or e-mail the school at e.snyder@lehmancatholic.com and a student will contact you. Orders can also be made by contacting Joan Schroeder (498-1001) or Linda Vogann (778-9324).

Orders must be placed no later than Nov. 16. Delivery is expected the first week of December.

City couple: Don’t pass up bargain

“Labor not to be rich: cease from your own wisdom. Will you set your eyes on that which is not? for riches certainly make themselves wings; they fly away as an eagle toward heaven.”

(Proverbs 23:4-5 AKJV)

Guest Column

Cutting back regulations would aid job creation s a key part of the GOP jobs plan, House Republicans are focused on eliminating excessive federal regulations that needlessly raise prices on consumers and put thousands of jobs at risk.

We can all agree that there are reasonable regulations that protect our children and keep our environment clean. But then there are excessive regulations that unnecessarily increase costs for consumers and small businesses, making it harder to create jobs. It’s this latter type of government regulation that is wrongly hampering job creation in America, and is targeted under our jobs plan.

Recently, the House passed a series of bipartisan, common-sense bills that remove government obstacles to job growth and, if approved by the president and Senate, will help to encourage job growth in Ohio JOHN BOEHNER and across America.

8th District Congressman One bipartisan bill passed on Oct. 13 (H.R. 2250) would protect more than 200,000 American jobs put at risk by unworkable new federal restrictions on boilers used by thousands of major employers. These new restrictions threaten businesses small and large — including hospitals, factories, and colleges - by imposing billions of dollars in new costs and making many goods and services even more expensive. The bipartisan bill approved by the House as part of our jobs plan would provide regulatory relief to affected employers by directing the federal government to reissue the rules in a manner that is less burdensome and more achievable in practice.

“MART Papers, a Hamilton-based paper maker, is one local company hurt by the cost and uncertainty these excessive regulations are creating. As reported in the Cincinnati Enquirer, Tim Needham, SMART Papers’ Chairman, said ‘the rules would require his company to essentially replace its existing boilers’ – even though ‘current boiler technology doesn’t exist’ to comply with the government mandates. With job creators struggling to make payroll every month, our bipartisan bill would halt this regulation and prevent it from causing unforeseen long-term economic damage, and allow for a process by which a more realistic, balanced standard can be put in place.

Another bipartisan bill — the Cement Sector Regulatory Relief Act — would stop federal regulations that could shut down up to 20 percent of the nation’s cement manufacturing plants in the next two years, sending thousands of jobs permanently overseas and driving up cement and construction costs across the country. In an interview with the Cincinnati Enquirer, Brad Slabaugh of Hilltop Basic Resources, a Cincinnati-based company visited by President Obama last month, spoke out in favor of the bipartisan legislation.

“We’re not asking for regulations to go away,’ said Slabaugh, “but they have to be reasonable.’ The current regulations ‘are not reasonable, not attainable and not looking at the economic impact.” In fact, the existing regulations “would raise costs for Hilltop by $1.25 million annually in a time when their payroll has decreased from 240 employees in 2007 to 187 today.” Our bill would force federal regulators to develop a more balanced and effective approach that will protect public health and the environment without imposing unnecessary economic harm on American workers and businesses like Hilltop.

In the coming months, the House will continue to pass bipartisan, pro-job growth legislation that removes government barriers to private-sector job growth – including excessive regulations and red tape. The American people want both parties to work together, find common ground, and create a better environment for job creation — and that’s exactly what we’re focused on.

Letters to the Editor

Inmate expresses regret for crime To the Editor: My name is Kendall Taylor. I’m a 21year-old inmate at the Southeastern Correctional Institute, serving a three-year sentence due to a second-degree felony, robbery conviction out of Miami County Common Pleas Courts, in which I’m extremely ashamed of. My release date is set for March 13, 2013. However, it is my hope and prayers to be released before then if it’s meant to be and God’s will for me.

I am writing this letter because I felt the need to take the time to let all of you (including my victim, of course) know that I am truly, honestly and sincerely sorry for my actions, inactions, addictions, crime and incarceration. I was so wrong! There is no excuse or justification for such. I can say that the true Kendall Taylor would not have ever acted out in the way I did at the time of my crime if he were clean and sober and in his right state of mind. To his dismay and everyone else’s dismay, he was not the true Kendall Taylor at that point and time.

For that alone, I’m so ashamed, embarrassed and regretful.

I wish so badly I could take it all back

and redo it because if I could I would not do what I did again.

Most importantly though, please know that I have accepted full responsibility for all I did, learned from all I did and plan to do everything I possibly can now and upon release to make amends (further amends) for my actions. The best or most effective way to do this is through actions instead of words. So I will prove myself once and for all through actions.

In closing, I beg you all to please forgive me because I know my choices has affected almost all of you some way or another. On the other hand, though, I understand that forgiveness is not owed to me so if you choose not to, then I’ll accept and respect your choice. Your forgiveness would be a blessing or a miracle for me. Further, I’m truly, honestly and sincerely a really good-hearted person who just simply allowed drugs/alcohol to take over his life at one point in time causing him to do things he’d never imagined. May God bless and be with each and every one of you and your families.

—Kendall Taylor Lancaster

To the Editor: Lowest prices of the season! Today’s doorbuster special: three new schools at a whopping 47 percent off!!

Who doesn’t love a great sale? As consumers, we rarely pay full price for anything we buy, from TVs to peanut butter. Why would we wait to pay full price for our schools? Our elementary buildings need to be replaced. We would never consider paying more to fix an old appliance in our home than we would for a brand new one. Do we buy Nov. 8 at 47 percent off, or wait and pay full price in the not too distant future? C’mon all you shoppers. Get to the “one day sale” on Tuesday, Nov. 8. Vote “yes.”

CHRIS TALBOTT AP Entertainment Writer NASHVILLE, Tenn.

(AP) — Vince Gill thinks “Guitar Slinger” is his best album, and that’s saying something. Yet he figures the average country fan won’t hear it.

That listener usually picks up her music on the radio, and precious few mainstream country stations will be playing Gill’s music in heavy rotation.

As a player with a keen sense of country music history, he’s seen it happen time and again. He was saddened when they stopped playing Merle Haggard and George Jones. He understood why, but that doesn’t make it easier to take.

“I just felt like, ‘Don’t stop playing them because of their age,’” Gill said. “If they’re not as good, if the records aren’t as great, if the crap coming along is better, great.

That’s all I ever wanted any of the people coming along to be was great. But if you get replaced by what you feel is not even close to as good, that messes with you, I guess.”

Gill is 54. There are a few artists in the over-50 set who get a pass like George Strait and Reba McEntire. But Gill thinks he’s a better songwriter, player and singer than at any time in his life, and the proof is on “Guitar

Advice — EMOTIONALLY ABUSED IN CALIFORNIA DEAR EMOTIONALLY ABUSED: Wow! Your letter should be posted on every refrigerator in the country. Rarely do I hear about a parent who tries as hard as your mother does to do a diligent job. One day you will look back and thank her.

PS. And if by chance this letter was written by your mother — congratulations for a job well-done.

I would like to nominate you for Mother of the Year.

DEAR ABBY: I would like to know who gives singers the right to change the melody of “The StarSpangled Banner” and “America the Beautiful”?

Some of them who are featured on national TV don’t even get the lyrics right.

Many of us would love to hear our national anthem without the additional flourishes. Isn’t anything sacred anymore? These socalled singers can add their individual squealing to their own songs, but I wish they would leave Francis Scott Key’s version in its original format.

Am I alone on this issue?

— NOT TONE-DEAF IN WASHINGTON STATE DEAR NOT TONEDEAF: You’re far from alone in feeling as you do.

Our national anthem is notoriously difficult to sing, and the lyrics difficult to remember. However, performers are, to a greater or lesser extent, artists. And some artists can’t resist the temptation to add their personal interpretation to the classic, which has proved embarrassing for the singer and the listeners. It proves the truth of the old saying, “Sometimes less is more.”

Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

Slinger,” his follow-up to his 2006 Grammy-winning album “These Days.”

It’s a deeply personal album, recorded in his new home studio with close friends and his wife Amy Grant and daughters contributing. Some of the songs are among the most powerful he’s written, including a pair of tributes to friends he’s lost recently. It’s an album that sounds like, to Gill, what country music should sound like. It’s powerful, story-driven music that doesn’t bow to the trends.

He thinks if radio programmers gave it a chance, they might be surprised at the response.

“I kind of feel like now I’m old enough to have a comeback,” he joked.

That would take the right song, said Wade Jessen, Billboard’s country charts manager. He said Gill remains one of country music’s “most loved and adored” stars, but that if he wants to return to the top of the charts, he’s got to meld his music to today’s sound, which skews raucous and alcohol-soaked, for the most part.

He noted Kenny Rogers became the oldest artist to have a No. 1 song on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs Chart when he conformed to the sounds of the times on “Buy Me a

Rose,” which topped the chart on May 13, 2000.

“My take on the gatekeepers at radio is they’re looking for songs they feel strongly are country rotation hit records,” Jessen said. “It’s no question that the scrutiny veteran artists get is probably a little more stringent, absolutely. Radio is still driving listeners of a certain demographic to please radio advertisers, and they don’t take a lot of chances.”

Gill questions the logic behind chasing trends and alienating your core audience. Look beyond the radio dial and there’s a world full of loyal lifers who don’t ebb and flow.

His fans know he’s a twotime Country Music Association entertainer of the year with 20 Grammys for a reason. When he hits the road, his shows sell out and those followers are loyal with their wallets.

Radio is just a small part of his world.

“It’s all youth-driven, youth-based,” Gill said.

“How’re we going to stay young? How’re we going to stay fit? How are we going to be relevant? Blah blah blah blah blah. It’s just how we’ve chosen to be as a culture, so none of it surprises me. What I find the most interesting is by that push towards that, you’ve alienated

your core audience, to me.”

And Gill is in tight with that core audience. He’s begun to take on a role he jokingly refers to as “elder statesman.”

He just reached his 20th anniversary with The Grand Ole Opry, a milestone he likes to think of as a young one, considering all the old timers still holding down regular spots on the roster.

And while he’s always been the guy around town you call when you need someone to stand in, he’s transitioned into the guy you call on when introductions need to be made, golf clubs need swinging, funds need raising and politicians require a little glad-handing.

John Anderson, who was on hand to salute Gill during his Opry celebration, calls him a “great, great ambassador to our business.”

“Vince is one of the guys that will carry the torch and will carry it in an honorable and right way,” he said. “That’s the part of Vince that I’m proud to know, the fact that he is a great writer, a great singer and a great player, and on the other hand, he’s a very hard worker and a very good man. Sometimes it’s hard to find that combination.

But Vince is one of them.”

Sherlock Holmes takes to Edison stage Stagelight Players put original spin on Victorian sleuth PIQUA — The Edison Community College Stagelight Players is kicking off its fall performance in a mysterious fashion Friday and Saturday at the Edison Theater with a production of “Sherlock Holmes and the Case of the Jersey Lily.”

The play pits Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s fictional sleuths Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson against nemesis Professor Moriarty in a case that involves the British royalty, famed Victorian actress Lillie Langtry and the wit and larger-than-life pres-

A tale of blackmail, intrigue and humor, “Sherlock Holmes and the Case of the Jersey Lily” is a play that has something to

appeal to everyone, with plot twists, love trysts and a saber-rattling conclusion that stays true to the spirit of Doyle’s famous works.

Adapted by Katie Forgette from an original script penned by Conan Doyle and William Gillette based on the short story “The Scandal in Bohemia,” this production is being directed by Edison faculty member William Loudermilk.

Tickets are $7 for adults, $5 for students, $3 for senior citizens, and free for children under 12.

Performances begin at 7:30 p.m. and will be held Nov. 4-6. Two morning performances for junior high and high school groups will also be held Nov. 3-4 at 9:15 a.m.

‘Guitar Slinger’ Vince Gill vies for your ear

Life of toil and thrift is teen’s tough row to hoe DEAR ABBY: I’m a 15year-old girl who has never been in trouble, but my mom treats me like I’m a criminal. She makes me go to church every Sunday.

She makes me go to Catholic school, and I have to wear an ugly uniform.

She won’t help with my homework. She says, “I already did 10th grade.” I can’t wear halter tops, short shorts, a bikini or much makeup. If I tell her it’s the style, she says, “Modesty is always in style.”

When I go out with my friends, she wants to know where I’m going, who I’ll be with, what we’ll be doing, when we’ll be back and their phone numbers.

If I have a date with a new boy, she makes him come into the house and tell her what school he goes to.

Then she makes him show her his driver’s license and car registration.

I can’t keep my computer in my room. When I’m using it in the den, she looks over my shoulder and won’t let me go to chat rooms. I have to set the table even if we don’t have company and sit down and have dinner with her EVERY night.

If I can’t afford something, she tells me to save up or budget better. She won’t let me drive until I can pay for my own insurance. It’s not like my mom’s poor. We go to Hawaii and Lake Tahoe, and we’ve been to Europe and on cruises. But she won’t even pay for cable TV. She says it’s an idiot box and I should read a book instead.

She also makes me do my own laundry and keep my room and bathroom clean. She makes me do unfair chores like clean the guest bathroom even though I never ever use it.

She wants to teach me to sew and cook, but I have no interest in those things.

She makes me visit Dad every week, and if I complain about anything, she says (very calmly and quietly, which I hate more than if she’d yell), “You can always choose to live with your dad.”

She told me as long as I live under her roof, I have to abide by her rules even if I’m over 18. And I have to go to college, and if I don’t, I’ll have to get a job and support myself.

I could go on and on.

Have you ever heard of a mother so unreasonable?

I’m afraid to run away, but I don’t know how much more of this I can take.

Wednesday, November 2, 2011

There are all kinds of inferences a declarer can draw from the bidding or early play of a hand. For example, consider this deal where South got to four spades on the bidding shown.

West led the king of clubs, everyone following low, and shifted to the queen of hearts. On this trick, declarer made the highly unusual move of playing low from both hands!

As a result, South made the contract. West continued with a heart to the ace, and declarer drew two rounds of trumps, ending in dummy. He then discarded a diamond on the king of hearts and played the ace of diamonds followed by the queen.

When East covered with the king, declarer ruffed, returned to dummy with a trump, discarded a club on the jack of diamonds and in

that way scored his 10th trick. The only tricks he lost were a heart and two clubs.

Certainly South’s method of play seems odd, since it appears more natural to win the heart shift at trick two with the ace, draw trumps and take a diamond finesse. Had declarer adopted this course of play, though, he would have lost a diamond and three clubs and gone down one.

Declarer’s method of

play was very wellfounded. He assumed from the first two plays that West had the K-A of clubs and Q-J of hearts and was therefore not likely to have the king of diamonds also, given his original pass as dealer.

So, rather than pin his hopes on West’s holding a card he couldn’t have, declarer played East for that card and scored a well-deserved victory.

Tomorrow: Bridge is a marvelous game.

Friends of the late Joyce Dapore Williams recently gathered at the Johnston Farm in Piqua to pay tribute to her service as a volunteer at the farm.

Group gathers at Johnston Farm to remember friend PIQUA — Friends of the late Joyce Dapore Williams recently gathered at the Johnston Farm in Piqua to pay tribute to her service as a volunteer at the farm. For some years, Mrs. Williams kept the herb garden weeded and fresh. Girlfriends from the Piqua High School Class of 1959 chose to mark her passing by planting an October Glory Maple tree at the Johnston Farm, with a granite plate, which bears her name. A stepping stone was presented to her husband, Jim, for placement in his yard.

The group of friends include Arline Fuhr, Aundalee Wintrow, Barbara Aldredge, Beth Bell, Beverly Konz, Carol Ann Devers, Carol Felix, Carol Hornyak, Carolyn Burns, Carolyn Enos, Catherine Dally, Glenda Stokes, Jackie Honeycut, Joanne Townsend, Judy Krasnoff, Judy Neff, Kathie Lyon, Kay Penrod, Lyndel Trissell, Pam Coburn, Phyllis Shuttleworth, Rosemary Bayman, Sally Apple, Sandy Miller, Sandy Abernathy, Sara Foust, Shirley Norris, and Susie Hecker.

■ Grandparenting

Grandbaby bind Dear Grandparenting: I have gotten off to a bad start taking care of my little granddaughter Melanie who is about 15 months old. I get her three days a week when my daughter works. I do not know what to do when Melanie has a screaming fit because she doesn’t get her way. Can you see how I get frustrated when she yells and screams and says she wants her mommy? It drives me nuts! Then I get angry, and that doesn’t help me at all.

To be quite honest, I am out of practice taking care of little ones. I am also a little afraid. Can you imagine how bad it would be if something happened that wound up hurting my grandchild? I never ever thought I would wind up babysitting this much. It just kind of happened. Our own children just assume we can care perfectly well for their little children because we’re old hands who did it before. I’m here to tell you it’s not as easy as just rolling out of bed. How can I get my grandchild to do more what I want her to do? — Glenny Dear Glenny: Yours is a good question. We suspect many grandparents find themselves in this same grandbaby bind. The old infant care skills aren’t what they used to be, and grandparents naturally are a little nervous about the childcare responsibility that’s been thrust upon them. Perhaps they become timid about being too forceful, and may turn to jelly

TOM & DEE HARDIE KEY KIDDER Columnists when it comes to meting out discipline – or worse yet, over-react and become too punishing.

Discipline need not involve punishment and anger, which teach children to be afraid of you besides elevating your stress levels. By raising your voice, you also teach grandchildren to ignore your normal voice level.

Good discipline means repeating simple rules like “no throwing” and stopping the action or removing the object when there’s a violation.

Distraction and prevention techniques are instrumental for instilling discipline. Distraction involves a substitute toy or activity that engages and separates the grandchild from the problem at hand.

Prevention is often as basic as removing the child from a situation they can’t handle, or removing the situation from the child. Prevention also involves monitoring a child for hunger and fatigue, which can make anyone irritable. Many caretakers use a “quiet chair,” a place for the child to sit when they need calming.

Peanut butter dessert sure to be a yummy treat This (Monday) is the last day of October. It is hard to believe there is only two months out of the year left. Yesterday, Oct. 30, was brother Amos’s 50th birthday. His wife Nancy had invited all of us siblings to surprise him and come for dinner. Amos was definitely very surprised, he had not expected anything. It is always easy for me to remember how old Amos is because he is 10 years older than I am.

He is the second oldest of us eight siblings.

It was a chilly day outside but it was a sunny making it warm enough so that the men could play croquet outside. The children enjoyed riding their three ponies and taking a pony buggy ride.

They also played kickball.

Meanwhile, for the birthday feast we were served a delicious meal of barbecued chicken, hot wings, mashed potatoes, gravy, dressing, corn, lettuce salad, sliced cheese, banana peppers, kohlrabi, celery, carrot sticks, green peppers, and vegetable dip, homemade bread, butter and jelly, ice cream, peanut butter dessert, four different

LOVINA EICHER The Amish Cook kinds of cake, and several pies. I brought the homemade bread and a chocolate cake. There were a lot of cakes that were brought in so there was plenty of cake left.

Before we started back for home Nancy heated up some of the leftovers.

Some of the family ate some chicken before heading for home. We started back around 5:30 p.m. arriving home around 7:30 p.m. The children were ready for bed early as they had a long day. We had started out at 6 a.m. We stopped and ate breakfast on the way, which is always a treat for everyone. I think I enjoy it the most since I don’t have to cook breakfast. We arrived at Amos and Nancy’s house around 9:15 a.m. Paul and Leah couldn’t attend as they were in Wisconsin visiting their grown son

Ben and family. P a u l ’ s son Levi stayed home from Wisconsin and is taking care of the chores for them so he was able to attend Amos’s birthday party.

Brother Albert’s family also didn’t get to attend as it was their son’s turn to hold church services.

Amos and Nancy had a nice harvest of endive this fall. I haven’t had much luck in growing it but mother always had nice heads of endive. We would substitute it for lettuce in the fall.

Saturday we had a short visit from Uncle Joe and Betty and cousin Brian and his family. My husband Joe and the three boys were not home when they were here, they were over at Timothy’s helping to build box stalls in his barn. Just before Joe and Betty arrived we had some thunder and lightning and it even hailed for awhile. Later in the day, when Joe and the boys were coming home in the pony cart they said it was sleeting. It had really cooled down by then. Our thermometer showed 28 degrees so it felt good to have heat in the house.

Joe and Betty also

stopped in at Amos’s on Sunday afternoon to wish him a happy 50th.

I will share the recipe for homemade peanut butter dessert with your readers. The recipe consists of three parts.

• Crust 1 /2 cup margarine 1 cup flour one cup Optional chopped nuts In a bowl, mix together softened margarine and flour (and nuts) and press into a 9 X 13 inch cake pan. Bake at 350 for 20 minutes or until brown.

ADHD drugs don’t raise heart risks for kids Ritalin and similar medicines that millions of children and teens take to curb hyperactivity and boost attention do not raise their risk of serious heart problems, the largest safety study of these drugs concludes.

Heart attacks, strokes and sudden death were very rare and no more common in children on the drugs than in kids not taking them, the federally funded study found. That was true even for children and young adults with a higher risk of heart problems — a group doctors have long worried about when prescribing these drugs.

“This study would suggest that their risk is remarkably low. And that’s good news,” said the

study’s leader, Dr. William Cooper, a pediatrics and preventive medicine professor at Vanderbilt University.

“Parents should be very reassured,” said Dr. Laurel Leslie, a pediatrician at Tufts Medical Center in Boston who had no role in the study but served on a Food and Drug Administration advisory panel examining drugs for ADHD, or attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder.

The study was sponsored by the federal Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality and the FDA. Results were published online Tuesday by the New England Journal of Medicine. Results from similar studies of these medicines in

adults are expected soon.

More than 5 million children in the United States have been diagnosed with ADHD, which hampers a child’s ability to pay attention and control behavior. Although it seems counterintuitive, stimulant medications such as Ritalin, Adderall, Concerta and Strattera can help these children, and about 2.7 million of them are prescribed such drugs each year.

However, isolated reports of heart attacks and strokes in kids taking the drugs caused worry, and the Canadian government curbed use of one drug in 2006. The FDA added a black box warning to some ADHD drugs, and the American Heart Association gave the con-

troversial advice in 2008 that it was reasonable to screen a child starting on such a drug with a heart EKG test.

“There’s such strong feelings around these drugs” and whether they are overused in children who might be helped by behavioral therapy alone, Cooper said. “The potential safety questions have added another layer of concern.”

His study was aimed at resolving the safety question. Researchers used medical records from four big health plans covering more than 1.2 million people ages 2 through 24.

They found 81 cases of serious heart problems from 1998 through 2005 among all people in the study.

Those on ADHD medi-

cines were no more likely to suffer a heart attack, stroke or sudden death than were non-users or former users of such drugs. More than half of children and young adults taking ADHD drugs used methylphenidate — generic Ritalin — and researchers saw no increased risk from that specific drug either.

“The good news is that it doesn’t look like overall, there’s an increase in cardiovascular events in kids who are on ADHD drugs,” said Dr. Gordon Tomaselli, a Johns Hopkins University heart specialist and president of the American Heart Association. “The question parents should be asking themselves is, ‘Does my child really need this?’”

Cooper, the study’s leader, and Leslie, the Boston pediatrician, defended the drugs’ use, especially with careful medical monitoring and behavioral therapy.

“I take care of kids all the time who are helped by these drugs,” Cooper said.

FDA spokeswoman Sandy Walsh said stimulants “should generally not be used in patients with serious heart problems, or for whom an increase in blood pressure or heart rate would be problematic.”

Patients on ADHD medications also should be watched for changes in heart rate or blood pressure, she said.

The drugs cost from $40 to $100 a month.

Upper Valley Medical Center salutes area clergy, highlights caregiver care TROY — Caring for the Caregiver, an often overlooked player in a time of illness, was the theme for the annual UVMC Community Clergy Appreciation Luncheon.

The Oct. 21 luncheon was held in advance of Pastoral Care Week Oct. 23-29.

The annual luncheon is a way for the UVMC Pastoral Care Department to give back to clergy in Miami, Darke and Shelby counties who work with the program to visit church members who are in the hospital, said Lisa Baker, Pastoral Care Department Coordinator.

“We could not function without them,” Baker said of the clergy role in the pastoral care program available 24/7. The program is staffed by Baker, a part-time chaplain and four pool chaplains. There is also an office coordinator.

Baker presented the program along with representatives of Hospice of Miami County, the Rev. John Shelton, chaplain, and the Rev. Ed Ellis,

“The focus is the needs of the person who is giving the care, the every day strain,” Baker said.

“The caregiver is keeping all the balls in the air, and that person often gets neglected.”

Baker said a quote from Rosalynn Carter summed up the message: “There are only four kinds of people in this world: Those who have been caregivers, those

who are currently caregivers, those who will be caregivers, those who will need caregivers.”

Presentation themes included how a congregation can support a caregiver and whether it is someone caring for a

spouse, parents or a child.

Shelton and Ellis shared experiences in care giving from their lives, how others helped and the lessons they learned from the illnesses of a spouse and child.

Those who might be able to assist need to first determine what the person/family needs, and if the church family can meet any of those needs.

Sometimes, the speakers said, the answer is “no.”

Listening, Baker said, “is the greatest thing we can offer.”

The official Pastoral Care Week observance started in the 1980s first on a national basis. The observation now is international.

Buecker’s celebrates 65 years

LOCAL/NATION Unity gets into Halloween spirit WWW.DAILYCALL.COM

Buecker’s Fine Furniture and Interiors, 128 W. Ash St., celebrates their 65th anniversary in the city this year.

PIQUA — A downtown Piqua business fixture passed down for three generations celebrates 65 years of business in the Piqua community.

Buecker’s Fine Furniture & Interiors, 128 W. Ash St., celebrates that milestone this year, one of a small sampling of similar family-owned and operated downtown business surviving, growing and adapting in a sluggish economy.

Since 1946, the business continued, grew and adapted over three generations.

It was founded as Buecker’s Interiors by the late Leonard J. Buecker and in 1965 his son, the late Richard J. Buecker, began working for the company after graduating from the Kendall School of Design and later became the owner of the business, said current owner, Eric J. Buecker, the son of Richard J. Buecker.

Eric, and his wife, Beth, own and operate the store now and seven years ago opened up another location that is located at 4389 State Route 725, Bellbrook.

Eric said owning and operating a business — in addition to a second store location and another business, Kitchen Restylers — can be difficult in a bad economy, but he attributes the strength of the business to diversifying and not being one-dimensional.

The store offers furniture, interior design, reupholstering, flooring, window treatment, area rugs and other similar home comfort needs.

“The trick is to keep changing,” he said. “With PROVIDED PHOTO the economy being the way it is, you have less Employees at downtown Piqua’s Unity Bank hit the Yellow Brick Road for their Halloween theme on people shopping so when Monday.

Holiday Cook-Off

Global warming worsens weather WASHINGTON (AP) — Freakish weather disasters — from the sudden October snowstorm in the Northeast U.S. to the record floods in Thailand — are striking more often. And global warming is likely to spawn more similar weather extremes at a huge cost, says a draft summary of an international climate report obtained by The Associated Press.

The final draft of the report from a panel of the world's top climate scientists paints a wild future for a world already weary of weather catastrophes costing billions of dollars.

The report says costs will rise and perhaps some loca-

tions will become "increasingly marginal as places to live."

The report from the Nobel Prize-winning Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change will be issued in a few weeks, after a meeting in Uganda. It says there is at least a 2-in-3 probability that climate extremes have already worsened because of man-made greenhouse gases.

This marks a change in climate science from focusing on subtle changes in daily average temperatures to concentrating on the harder-to-analyze freak events that grab headlines, cause economic damage and kill people.

HOROSCOPE Wednesday, Nov. 2, 2011 You can enhance your ability to overcome most challenges and adversities in the year ahead by maintaining a positive attitude as often as possible.

Doing so will substantially strengthen your ability to get things done.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — It might be smart to yield a little on some minor issues in order to avoid locking horns with a family member over a big matter. Give a little to get quite a bit.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Because of your reluctance to be forthright about what is bothering you, many of your companions will find you difficult to understand and tolerate. Loosen up a bit.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Frivolous activities that don’t make any kind of contribution to your material or social well-being shouldn’t be given a whole lot of your time. Don’t make trouble for yourself.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Your self-image and reputation could suffer greatly if you fail to keep your temper in check, especially when you’re around people you like and respect. Control your ire and you control your image.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — If you insist upon dwelling on negatives, you’ll elude all possibility of having any success. It’s important to strive to be a positive thinker as much and as often as you can.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) — Keep your snoot out of a friend’s business if you see that she or he is unwilling to share something with you. Everyone is entitled to privacy when they feel it’s warranted.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — You’re in for a big surprise if you think inflexibility will enhance your negotiating skills. All it will do is cause people to turn their backs on you.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — There’s nothing to be gained by spreading yourself too thin where your work is concerned. It will gain you a lot of needless frustration when you can’t complete all that you want to.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) — Trying to con a co-worker into doing a job your way will turn into a frustrating experience. If you want things done well, let your colleague call the shots.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Unless you think your way through every step of the day, your gains will be slimmer than a fashion model. If you do things in a haphazard manner, your fragile arrangements will crumble like a misbegotten cookie.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — You had better stay focused on your endeavors because if you don’t, chances are you will make a serious mistake that could require a total, and very expensive, makeover.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — If you intend to go window-shopping at the mall, you’d be smart to leave your credit cards at home. Your resolve to maintain your budget will be weaker than a wet noodle.

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 and eventually fake 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.

SAN DIEGO (AP) — The NFL is looking into the events surrounding a concussion suffered by San Diego Chargers offensive lineman Kris Dielman.

NFL vice president Bryan McCarthy said the league is reviewing the injury with the team, medical staff and NFL Players' Association. McCarthy said in an email Friday that the review is ongoing and it is customary with all injuries.

The NFLPA declined comment until it receives more information. There's an inquiry into Dielman's concussion because of some unusual circumstances surrounding the injury.

He was concussed with approximately 12 minutes remaining in the Oct. 23 game against the New York Jets, after which he struggled to maintain balance. He finished the game despite the head injury and was not assessed until after the loss to New York. The Chargers announced the injury shortly before the team boarded a plane for San Diego.

Dielman suffered a grand mal seizure near the end of the team's charter flight, although he was cleared of all long-term complications surrounding the concussion and seizure. He has not taken the NFL's official concussion test and has not been cleared to play.

The Chargers came

under scrutiny for how they handled Dielman's injury, but coach Norv Turner believes the team dealt with the situation as best it could.

"Everything was handled extremely well," Turner said. "All the proper precautions were taken. Kris was evaluated when we landed and all the tests were excellent.

We're fortunate, he's fortunate and we're moving on."

Dielman never came out of the game despite intermittent signs of struggle, although he performed well as a blocker. The Chargers said they never saw a reason to evaluate their Pro Bowl left guard.

"Guys get bounced around pretty good. It's tough to see everybody from the sideline, or even from upstairs or a TV screen what a guy's condition is," Turner said. "Our guys understand that if they aren't able to go, they need to get out. I think it was handled the way we'd try to understand any injury situation."

Dielman will miss at least two games while he recovers.

Reserve guard Tyronne Green will start in his place.

The first game was Monday night when the Chargers lost to the Kansas City Chiefs 23-20 in overtime.

Those teams are now tied with Oakland.

But Fickell, for one, says his team isn't looking past beleaguered Indiana, the Buckeyes' opponent on Saturday.

Browns cut Robiskie Bring back Clayton for depth at running back

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton has guided the team to a 5-2 record so far.

Bengals enjoy fast start Expectations rising with each victory CINCINNATI (AP) — Nobody expected much out of the Cincinnati Bengals this season, given that they were starting a rookie quarterback and a rookie receiver.

A 5-2 start has changed everything.

The Bengals surpassed their victory total from last season when they beat Seattle 34-12 on Sunday. They've won four in a row, their longest such streak since 2009, when they reached the playoffs.

It's a complete reversal from the same time a year ago, when the Bengals were in the midst of losing 10 consecutive games with receivers Terrell Owens and Chad Ochocinco getting most of the attention.

The 30-something reality show stars are gone, and the young Bengals team they've left behind is quickly growing up.

"The fact (is) that we're all young and no one has a name for themselves and everyone wants to make a name for this team," second-year defensive end Carlos Dunlap said on Monday. "That's the big

Brown Stadium on Nov. 13 will provide a chance to break their streak of seven straight home games that have failed to sell out.

At 5-2, they've given themselves a chance to make something of the rest of their season.

"It's great," Dalton said.

"We have to keep this momentum going."

Notes: Coach Marvin Lewis had no update on CB Adam "Pacman" Jones' sore hamstring, which forced him out of the game Sunday following a 63yard punt return. ... MLB Rey Maualuga said he jogged without pain on Monday for the first time.

He's missed the last two games with a sprained left ankle, but hopes to be back for Tennessee. ... The Bengals received a twoday roster exemption on RB Cedric Benson, who was suspended for the game in Seattle because he violated the NFL's conduct policy. The Bengals will have to remove someone from the 53-man roster by Wednesday to open a spot for Benson.

CLEVELAND (AP) — Wide receiver Brian Robiskie has been sent on his final down-and-out by the Browns.

A former second-round draft pick, Robiskie was waived Tuesday by Cleveland to make room for free running back agent Thomas Clayton, who played in two games for them last season and has been brought back because of injuries to Peyton Hillis and Montario Hardesty.

The Browns selected Robiskie with the No. 36 overall pick in 2009 out of Ohio State. A former ballboy for the Browns when his father, Terry, was a Cleveland assistant and later the team's interim head coach, Robiskie caught seven passes as a rookie. Last year, he made 11 starts and finished with 29 catches for 310 yards and three touchdowns.

However, the 24-yearold's role was reduced this season and he has steadily slipped down first-year coach Pat Shurmur's depth chart.

With Hillis and Hardesty injured, the Browns were in dire need of a running back and signed Clayton, a player with whom they have some background. On Tuesday, the Browns had running backs in for workouts at their training facility in Berea before settling on and signing Clayton, who was active in two games for Cleveland in 2010.

Hardesty is expected to miss games after tearing a calf muscle during Sunday's 20-10 loss in San Francisco. Hillis remains slowed by a hamstring injury that has kept him out of Cleveland's past two games. On Monday, Shurmur said Hardesty would be sidelined for an indefi-

Clayton was with Seattle during the preseason before he was released. He will join Chris Ogbonnaya in Cleveland's backfield until Hardesty or Hillis gets healthy. Ogbonnaya has only been with the team since Oct. 18, when he was signed off the Texans' practice squad.

The 5-foot-11, 220pound Clayton was signed to the Browns' practice squad last September. He bounced back and forth between Cleveland and New England. He played in the Patriots' season finale.

Cards manager finishes on top

Reds decline their option on Cordero

La Russa won three Series titles

Lose Maloney to Twins

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Tony La Russa waited until after the championship parade and then called a team meeting with his players.

"We didn't know what to expect," said pitcher Chris Carpenter, who won Game 7 of the World Series against Texas on Friday night. "I think we all figured it was just going to be like, 'Thataway guys.

Great year. Way to battle!'

Instead, he dropped that on us. I think everybody was caught off-guard."

And with that, the 67year-old La Russa said goodbye to baseball and became the first manager to retire immediately after leading his team to a Series title — the third of his career.

"I think this just feels like it's time to end it," he said Monday. "When I look in the mirror, I know I'd come back for the wrong reasons, and I didn't want to do that."

La Russa said he told general manager John Mozeliak of his decision in August — before the Cards rallied from a 10½game deficit in the NL wild-card race to upset Philadelphia and Milwaukee in the playoffs.

They won the thrilling

CINCINNATI (AP) — The Reds exercised second baseman Brandon Phillips' contract option for 2012 on Monday, but declined a $12 million option to keep closer Francisco Cordero for one more season.

The Reds also lost lefthander Matt Maloney, who was claimed off waivers by Minnesota on Monday.

Phillips batted .300 with 18 homers, 82 RBIs and six errors last season, when he became an AllStar for the second time.

The two-time Gold Glove winner finished second to Pittsburgh's Neil Walker in fielding percentage by a second baseman. Cincinnati picked up his $12 million option and is trying to negotiate a multiyear deal.

"We're going to continue to talk about extending him long-term if possible," general manager Walt Jocketty said in a phone interview.

Jocketty said the Reds basically had to decide between keeping Phillips or Cordero, given their payroll constraints.

The Reds decided to pay a $1 million buyout to Cordero, who becomes a free agent but could stay

seven-game Series after twice coming within a strike of elimination in Game 6.

"I tip my hat to him.

He's had a great career.

What a way to go out," Washington Nationals manager Davey Johnson said.

The player meeting was short and emotional.

"Some grown men cried," La Russa said, joking that, "I kind of liked that because they made me cry a few times.

La Russa won the World Series with Oakland in 1989, and St. Louis in 2006 and this year, joining Sparky Anderson as the only manager to win with clubs in both leagues.

During 33 seasons with the Chicago White Sox (1979-86), Oakland (198695) and St. Louis (199611), La Russa compiled a 2,728-2,365 regular-season record. He trails only Connie Mack (3,731) and John McGraw (2,763) for wins. And his 70 postseason victories are behind only Joe Torre's 84.

with Cincinnati if he's willing to take a reduced contract.

"We have a lot of tough decisions we've had to make this offseason going forward," Jocketty said.

"We'll continue to talk with (Cordero).

“This also gives him an opportunity to see what the market is like."

Cordero was 37 of 43 in save chances, including 20 of 21 after the All-Star break.

The 36-year-old reliever ranks 12th with 327 career saves.

Cordero signed a fouryear, $46 million deal with the Reds after the 2007 season as a free agent from Milwaukee.

He saved 34, 39, 40 and 37 games in each of those four seasons.

Only two other Reds had a save last season — Nick Masset and Aroldis Chapman with one apiece.

Maloney cracked a rib and was on the disabled list from May 29 to Aug. 16.

He went 0-3 with a 9.16 ERA in two starts and six relief appearances for the Reds. He was 7-1 with a 2.99 ERA in 13 starts and one relief appearance at Triple-A Louisville.

Penn State start highlight of Big Ten surprises Wisonsin reeling after second straight loss (AP) — Joe Paterno isn't a big fan of bye weeks, and with good reason, especially, this year.

Penn State might be the Big Ten's most surprising story line going into the last month of the conference schedule with a twogame lead in the loss column in the Leaders Division over Purdue, surging Ohio State and reeling Wisconsin.

While the Legends Division has a three-way log-

jam of one-loss teams at the top with Nebraska, Michigan and Michigan State, the Nittany Lions (5-0 Big Ten) control their own destiny to get to the inaugural league title game as the last squad unbeaten in conference play.

"I don't particularly like bye weeks at any time because I think you get out of the routine," Paterno said Tuesday. "I guess if you have to have it, this is

as good a time as any to have it."

Lately, that routine involves winning — seven straight victories since a 27-11 loss in week 2 to No. 2 Alabama.

Success hasn't been pretty, though, in Happy Valley.

The passing game very much remains a work in progress, and the offense overall is scoring 21.8 points a game. Only Minnesota is worse.

Tailback Dan "Boom" Herron sees those ugly defensive numbers and his eyes light up at the Buckeyes' potential for racking up big points and statistics.

"You gotta look at it that way," he said. "Whatever we could do to put points on the board."

But at the same time, he tries to temper that with the message handed down from Fickell and his staff to not take any opponent lightly.

"We still have four games," he said. "You can't take it easy now just because we've won two games, just because we've got two big wins. We're going to play Indiana now, so it's Big Ten football and anything can happen."

After the Hoosiers, the Buckeyes play at Purdue (4-4, 2-2), host No. 16 Penn State (8-1, 5-0) and then travel to archrival No. 13 Michigan (7-1, 3-1).

In the Leaders Division,

Penn State holds a twogame lead on Wisconsin, Purdue and Ohio State.

Should the Buckeyes win out, and Penn State were to lose one more game, Ohio State would win any tiebreaker and would play in the inaugural Big Ten championship game on Dec. 3 in Indianapolis.

But, of course, that's still a long way off — as Fickell cautioned time and time again on Tuesday.

From his perspective, he talks about the Hoosiers as if they are the Patriots or Steelers.

"They're a young group that really has just got nothing but up to go," he said. "They are going to be wide open. They're going to be playing a lot of young guys. They're going to be aggressive."

Speaking of his own team's approach to the game, Fickell added, "There will be no letdown."

Last Chance to Buy Tickets!

OSU Continued from page 13 and give Ohio State (53, 2-2 Big Ten) a 33-29 victory over No. 12 Wisconsin under the lights at Ohio Stadium on Saturday.

After getting through a grueling series of games — Michigan State, then nationally ranked Nebraska, Illinois and the Badgers — it might be easy to consider the game against the lowly Hoosiers (1-8, 0-5) as a chance to take a breath before the stretch run. Indiana has given up an average of 51 points per game to its last four opponents, all lopsided losses, including twice getting torched for 59.

Do the Buckeyes really need to be wary of a team that hasn't beaten them in 23 years? That starts 12 freshmen? That is giving up 458 yards and 36 points a game? That has lost not one but TWO starting receivers — among its best players — in the last two days?
