Obituaries

Continued from page 1 The collective bargaining question places the entire law known as Senate Bill 5 before voters and allows them to vote yes to keep it, or no to reject it.

At a hefty 304 pages, the measure makes significant changes to Ohio law governing public workers, now considered the strongest sector of organized labor nationally. More than 36 percent of U.S. public workers were unionized in 2010, compared to 6.9 percent of private workers, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The bill was introduced Feb. 1 and was signed into law March 31, after protests that packed the Ohio Statehouse.

The law bans strikes, scraps binding arbitration, and eliminates the ability of unions representing teachers, police, firefighters, state employees and other public workers to bargain for sick pay and pension benefits.

Employees would be required to contribute at least 10 percent toward their pensions and 15 percent toward their health insurance, and employers would be prohibited from picking up any pension costs — a practice that cost them $2.9 billion in 2009. Unions could still bargain for wages, hours, terms and conditions and, in some cases, safety equipment.

Building a Better Ohio and We Are Ohio have flooded the airwaves with dueling TV spots as part of their campaigns on Issue 2.

The pro-Issue 2 campaign focuses on the bill giving local governments and school districts the flexibility they need to balance budgets. Between the lines, that message suggests cities, townships, schools and other public employers have been hamstrung by unionized employees’ demands.

“People are recognizing that we can’t continue

down this path and we simply can’t sustain it,” said campaign spokeswoman Connie Wehrkamp. “We’ve gone back to the taxpayers and said do you want to support this levy or that levy, and overwhelmingly they’ve said ‘no.’ Taxpayers have hit the brake.”

The opposition emphasizes the role of public employees — particularly firefighters — in protecting communities, and touts their willingness in recent years to take salary and benefit concessions. State workers, for example, agreed to unpaid furloughs — an effective pay cut — under the state’s last budget.

“SB 5 takes away the rights and voices of hardworking Ohioans who have been problem solvers by saving the state and their local communities hundreds of millions of dollars,” said We Are Ohio spokeswoman Melissa Fazekas.

The federal government’s role in health care is being questioned by promoters of Issue 3, the Ohio Health Care Freedom Amendment, which seeks to exempt Ohio from the insurance mandate.

Campaign manager Jeff Longstreth said Ohioans perceive they are less free with each passing day.

“There is a real fear that government is getting too powerful and intruding into different aspects of our lives,” he said.

Opponents of the amendment, including some legal experts, say courts — not voters — will decide whether Ohioans must comply with the health care overhaul’s mandatory health insurance provisions. They warn of unintended consequences from the question’s broad prohibitions against government intervention in the health care system that could hurt Ohio’s ability to enforce related state laws and regulations.

Glance Continued from page 1 Issue 2 PROPOSAL: Referendum on Ohio’s collective bargaining overhaul law affecting 350,000 government workers VOTE: Yes to retain the bill; No to reject the bill HIGHLIGHTS: Bars public employee strikes; eliminates binding arbitration; removes seniority as sole factor in job retention; establishes merit pay for teachers; requires employees to pay at least 10 percent toward their pension and 15 percent toward their health insurance; bars employers from pension pick-ups; usually allows bargaining on wages, work conditions and sometimes equipment; makes government unit’s budget a priority in negotiations; sends certain disputed labor-management agreements to voters; allows for union contracts to be terminated during fiscal emergencies; bars contracts from preventing privatization.

PRO AND CON: Supporters say limiting unions will help local governments and school districts save money, and the existing system allows outside arbiters to settle disputes that aren’t always best for taxpayers; opponents say Ohio’s union law has helped government workers move into the middle class, and labor agreements in recent years show the workers are willing to sacrifice in hard times without being forced.

Issue 3 PROPOSAL: Constitutional amendment to prohibit government from compelling purchase or participation in a health care system VOTE: Yes to support the amendment; No to reject the amendment HIGHLIGHTS: Bars government in Ohio from compelling participation in a health care system, compelling purchase or sale of health care or health insurance, or imposing penalties or fines for the sale or purchase of health care or health insurance.

Grandfather clause exempts laws in place before March 19, 2010.

PRO AND CON: Backers say the Affordable Care Act was an overreach into Ohioans’ private health decisions and should be rejected, and their language has been tested in other states; Opponents say a state constitutional amendment cannot be used to negate a federal law, and the amendment’s language will instead prevent enforcement of health-related laws and regulations at the state level.

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 , 2011.

During MAGEE h i s 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 Dec. 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 lifetest 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 pro-

pellers 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, Texas. Once there, Hubert's technical abilities were quickly recognized, and he was called on by friends and neighbors to their clocks, repair 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 Texas. 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 Florida, 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 -11 a.m. Saturday at Stocker-Fraley Funeral Home in Covington. A memorial service will follow at 11 a.m.

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

The day began with the laying down of arms, blowing of whistles, impromptu parades and the closing of places of business … just a few examples of the many joyous demonstrations throughout the world on this historic occasion. In November 1919, President Woodrow issued his Wilson Armistice Day proclamation.

The not-sograteful dead am a morning person. I hop out of bed before the alarm rings,make coffee,read the paper,listen to the radio,feed the cats, empty the garbage, make breakfast, read my email,surf the net,pay some bills,and pad around the house trying not to wake the undead woman upstairs.

Three hours later, I hear movement. An hour after that she appears, walking zombielike to the coffee machine. I know better than to say“good morning.”I keep perfectly still, hoping she won’t notice me and bite my head off. Then she pads away to her private den where, behind drawn blinds and closed doors, she makes secret potions out of chicken bones and eye of newt. Not that I’ve ever seen her do it, but what other explanation could there be?

Years after we were married, I found out the morning zombie trait runs in her family. When her sister’s new husband said he had cooked his wife breakfast, the rest of the family looked at him with stunned “Are you out of your mind?” expressions.

“She eats breakfast with you?” someone finally JIM MULLEN asked in shock, knowing Columnist firsthand how dangerous and foolhardy that would be.

“Oh, no, I’m not crazy,” he said. “I just drop it and run. It’s like feeding the raptors in ‘Jurassic Park.’”

The undead, zombies, raptors. Is that any way to talk about our loved ones? Hey, if the bloody fangs fit ...

I used to think all these vampire/zombie/living dead movies and TV shows were based on bad dreams or some kind of primal fear. Now I’m starting to wonder if instead they have to do with real experiences living with the real undead.

I’m thinking that Bram Stoker was probably a fun kind of guy who got up before the alarm rang, made the coffee, etc., etc., but that his wife was one of the living dead until noon.

How much of a stretch would it be to write “Dracula” about people like that -- the fear of the sun, the insomnia, the aversion to mirrors, the shuffling walk, the odd mechanical speech pattern,the way animals hang their heads and skulk away from them. Sure, there is very little blood sucking and sleeping in coffins in real life, but that was poetic license.

Maybe “The Thing,” “Night of the Living Dead” and “Zombieland” were all written by the spouses of non-morning people. After all, it is only the people who live with them who would see this side of their personalities. By dusk, the undead are as alive as the rest of us.Dinner guests would never know that this morning, Stephen King would have been afraid to knock on our front door.

How is it that some people are morning people and some are not? Is it because they lie on the sofa all night in front of the TV, jerking completely awake now and then to deny that they are dozing at all? Suddenly at midnight, they’re not tired. Maybe a few more hours of catnapping and they’ll be ready for bed, but not yet. Then they complain they can’t seem to fall asleep. Hmmmm. I wonder why? If only there was something simple they could do that would help them get an entire night of deep, renewing sleep. But what? Pills?

Hot milk? Back rubs? Hypnosis?

Around noon, the zombie starts to come to life. The color returns to her face, she stops walking like a mummy, her trancelike state seems to break, she’s even able to say a few simple words. She has no memory of her body being taken over by the forces of evil. It’s like a before-and-after moment from “The Exorcist.” Now I think I know where they got the idea for that story.

Letters to the Editor

Share the vision for Piqua’s future To the Editor: Forty years ago I was recruited to become a teacher at Piqua High School. The first time I drove into the city there was an entry sign that stated Piqua — City of Opportunity. Now after 40 years of being a Piquad, I can truly say that I have been blessed to take advantage of the many opportunities this city has offered to me and my family. I have had the opportunity to teach and make a difference in the lives of countless students. My wife and I took advantage of the opportunity to raise four children in this community doubly blessed with a nurturing and secure environment. The children attended Piqua Schools where they were well-served by a knowledgeable staff that provided a great education and equipped them with the opportunity to attend and graduate from college.

After our children began attending Piqua schools, my wife seized the opportunity to begin her college education within the community at Edison and now has been teaching in Piqua for nearly 20 years. Finally, among the most gratifying of opportunities brought about by my residence and teaching in Piqua was to have a former student who took my African American History class, emerge as a gifted writer. Christina DeLaet created for

Don’t be stupid, vote against this new tax To the Editor: While watching the Tavis Smiley show on PBS a few weeks ago I was surprised at what his guest that night said. He went through a litany of government programs the Tea Party is against.

One of these was public schools. To not be hypocritical, they would have to agree public schools are an abridgment of a sizable block of American citizens’ constitutional rights, since there is no right to be educated — only a right to pursue an education. Education is only a privilege.

Even if it were a right, no one has an obligation to provide it for someone else. For example, the second amendment details citizens’ right to keep and bear firearms, but no one is obligated to buy a firearm for someone else.

The only legitimate reason for government to exist and operate through taxation is to protect its citizens rights from predators, and provide services that 100 percent of citizens need such as national defense, roadways and safety services.

But, not everyone goes to public schools or agrees with their curriculum of subversive ideas such as evolution, moral relativism and planned parenthood, just to name a few. Yet, everyone is forced to support public schools just because they are in the majority. This is un-American. Our

Pledge of Allegiance states “liberty and justice for all” not just for the majority vote or opinion.

School levies are an unjust seizure of the fruits of others’ labor in which there is a right. We also have a right to not be forced to support that which we don’t agree with.

Our rights come from our Creator, not from government, or majority voting, and have been reduced to a contest we didn’t even agree to. It’s a remiss and Mickey Mouse government that not only allows, this extortion but promotes it.

To be fair and responsible, public schools should be “means tested” to ferret out the wealthy who are out to “game the system” for their own ujust enrichment at the expense of taxpayers. Some of these big stiffs have a family income over $150,000.

Stop the majoritarian tyranny. Stop the bullying. Promote instead fairness, personal responsibility, liberty and justice — for all.

As program director Darryl Parks of WLW 700 radio says, “you’re stupid if you vote for these school levies.”

Don’t be stupid. Vote against this new tax.

Jim Mullen’s new book “Now in Paperback” is now in paperback. You can reach him at jimmullenbooks.com. To the Editor: When my family and I retired from the Air Force, we had a tough decision to make. Where should we live and where should we send our kids to school? We considered Troy, Piqua, and my hometown of Sidney. Eliminating Troy was easy. It was just as easy selecting Piqua once we saw the PHS and PJHS facilities and met the staff. That decision provided our children with the educational foundation needed to successfully pursue college degrees, the opportunity to be a part of a state championship football team, and to be part of a top 10 nationally ranked show choir. Considering where Sidney schools are right now and knowing the many opportunities our kids have had at Piqua schools compared to Troy, we know we made the right choice when we had to make that tough decision. In a few days however, we’ll be faced with making another tough decision.

My first thought was, “why do I want the financial burden of paying for new schools?” My two oldest children graduated from PHS and attend The Ohio State University. My youngest is a PHS freshman. My kids won’t benefit from the new schools — but then again, maybe they will. MAYBE they’ll gradu-

me the opportunity to share with the world community the struggle for freedom in writing my family history narrative called Lucy’s Story and the soon to be released Between Two Suns: The Berean Experience. For a teacher it simply doesn’t get any better than that.

I write these things not only to acknowledge a few of the many opportunities but I want to especially encourage others to take advantage of the lifetime of opportunities now being offered through Piqua City Schools. I urge the community to follow the leadership of the board of education in doing the RIGHT thing in working to pass the levy to build three new schools with 47 percent of the money being made available through the state.

Forty years later the entry sign coming into the city reads, Piqua — Where Vision Becomes Reality. I share the vision for Piqua with the board of education in building for the educational future of our community. It has been said that the time is always right to do what is RIGHT and the fulfillment of the dream means passing the levy on Nov. 8 for an OPPORTUNITY of a lifetime.

ate from college and look for a town with great schools to raise their families and start their professional careers. If we build it, maybe they will come.

My second thought was about the many times I’ve heard that new schools can bring in new businesses and raise property values. Passing the levy does not guarantee either will happen. Then again, maybe the next family or business looking to move will look for a community that cares about investing in education and improving their community just like we did. If we build it, maybe they will come.

PHS and PJHS are fantastic facilities.

When these schools were built many years ago I’m sure tough decisions were made. However, the Piqua community stepped up and made it happen. Now it’s our turn to make the tough decision and build these desperately needed schools.

It might hurt a little bit, but it’s what is needed and now is the time. We need to take advantage while the Ohio School Facilities Commission is willing to pay 47 percent of the cost. It might not be what turns the economy around for Piqua, but maybe if we build it, they will come!

To the Editor: John Kasich had no qualms accepting $50K a year (plus $20K for a staffer) from OSU for seven years to speak seven times annually.

Other prominent Ohioans, like Rob Portman and John Glenn, did it for free.

Now our governor suggests that public sector workers who labor all year for that pay are overcompensated. It stands to reason that someone who made their fortune from Wall Street, where billions are made every year by people who provide neither goods or services for their fellow citizens, would not recognize the value of those who actually do serve the public, and are fairly paid to do so.

His backers are counting on Ohioans to be fooled by the insidious ads being run to support Issue 2, and why not? That kind of deceit worked well for him in last year’s gubernatorial race, where he pilloried Ted Strickland for raising taxes, when in reality all he did was to delay the final phase of his predecessor’s poorly timed tax cut.

The whole campaign for Issue 2 has been to create a backlash against public workers by suggesting that not only are they overpaid, but have caused the pain and suffering of those actors in the print and TV spots. We’re to believe that all Ohio’s economic woes can be laid at the doorstep of greedy public workers, particularly those who belong to unions. Breaking unions seems to be a common goal of the crop of newly elected Republican governors. The party’s long held dislike of unions has been even more amped up since the horrendous “Citizens United” decision by the Supreme Court that unleashed unlimited corporate money to shape and manipulate elections to favor those they can depend on to do their bidding. Unions are virtually the only counterweight, and certainly not an equivalent one, to that tsunami of corporate cash, and their dilution, if not total elimination, will tilt the equation even further than it already is. The latest television ad sinks to a new low. As we are tortured by another steady procession of actors portraying the deepest possible misery, a female voice, speaking in the first person, talks about how they make more than “us,” have better everything than “us,” and now want even more from “us.” Are we to believe that these poor downtrodden souls have pooled their last pennies to run this ad?

Regis Philbin is moving on — but not retiring FRAZIER MOORE AP Television Writer NEW YORK — Regis Philbin wades into the studio audience to chat during a commercial break.

“Thanks, everybody, for coming,” he says sincerely, then, with a dash of comic bluster, cracks: “Anybody want to pay me a tribute?”

“Don’t leave!” a woman cries out from the back row.

She might as well save her breath.

After ruling morning television for 28 years as New York’s Everymanabout-town, the co-host who made performance art of TV gab, and the broadcast veteran who likens being on TV to “washing my face or having lunch — as normal as can be,” the 80-year-old Philbin is exiting what for a decade has been known as “Live! With Regis and Kelly,” where, never at a loss for words, he has presided alongside co-host Kelly Ripa. But his last day is Nov. 18. There’s no turning back now.

As everyone remembers, Philbin made his announcement on the show last January: “I don’t want to alarm anybody,” he began before dropping the bomb.

This fall, during the long goodbye, “Live!” has been full of valedictories and retrospectives befitting Philbin’s marathon run.

His final week will be given over to special guests on the order of David Letterman, Donald Trump, Don Rickles and former cohost Kathie Lee Gifford, as well as Tony Bennett, Josh Groban and Bret Michaels performing.

The final show will be “a moving hourlong tribute to Regis,” according to the show, “with many surprises for Regis and the audience.”

And that will be that.

The following week, the show will drop back to temporary solo billing — “Live! With Kelly” — while the search begins for the person who will permanently claim Philbin’s chair.

But with all this transition in the offing, it’s worth keeping two things in mind.

“Everybody says to me, ‘Oh, you’re retiring,’” notes Philbin, who then erupts: “I’m NOT retiiiiring! I’m MOVING ON!” The other thing: Despite the irrevocability of Philbin’s decision to “move on,” he harbors misgivings, understandable mixed feelings. No wonder. The longer you do something and drink in its success, the harder it can be to judge when enough is enough.

During an interview after a recent morning’s broadcast at his Manhattan studio, Philbin engages in little of his signature Regis-riffing. Looking back and looking ahead, he is reflective, earnest, a bit

Long-time talk show host Regis Philbin greets members of the audience during a commercial break on “Live! with Regis and Kelly,” in New York. After ruling morning television for 28 years as New York’s Everyman-about-town, the co-host who made performance art of TV gab is exiting what for a decade has been known as “Live! With Regis and Kelly.” His last day is Nov. 18. wistful.

For a while, he explains, “every time a new contract came up, I would say to myself, ‘Maybe it’s time to get out.’ Then I would say, ‘Awww, what am I going to do? I might as well continue.’

“Within the 28-year span there were times when I doubted that what I was doing was the right thing, was interesting, was funny,” he goes on. “Maybe one day we were a bust, and you would say to yourself, ‘Maybe this is over, and I can’t do it anymore.’

You have those doubts. But then it becomes 10 years, then it was 15, 20, 25.”

Now, truly, it seems enough’s enough.

“This time, I said, ‘I really would like to do something else before I quit (the TV business).’ And frankly I’d like to have a little time off. I started in 1955 as (an NBC) page over at 30 Rock, so it’s been a long time.”

His wife, Joy, is supporting his decision, he says, “But I think she’s kind of worried: ‘He’s going to be home all day — what’s he going to do?’ Frankly, I think she’s a little concerned about it, to be honest with you, and I don’t blame her.

“So what do you think?” he abruptly asks his interviewer, switching on his Regis bombast. “AM I making a mis-TAKE here? IS it time for Regis to MOVE ON?” But it doesn’t matter what others think. Philbin is already separating himself from the show, and his office bears that out.

Seated at his desk, even with a life-size cutout of Dean Martin still standing beside him and the cushion in his chair displaying the logo of his beloved Notre Dame, Philbin is surrounded by growing disarray.

“We’re in the process of tearing this room apart,”

he notes. “You collect 28 years’ worth of stuff, and you hate to suddenly put it in there” — he indicates the trash can — “so we’re putting it over there,” and he points to boxes filling up with souvenirs and curios.

“I feel almost relieved that I have made a decision,” he says. “And frankly, I’m enjoying the last few shows more than I had the last 20 years. I guess there’s a sense that, ‘Hey, enjoy it now, because this is coming to an end.’ But I’m not sure how I’m going to feel, not the next day, but the next month, just in case I really don’t move on to something else. And I might not: Who wants an old man, you know what I’m saying?”

Weeks ago, he had spoken of starring in some sort of reality show, but now dismisses that notion.

“It wasn’t for me,” he says. “There are a couple of other things I’m thinking about, but I don’t want to make a decision until all of this is over. Then I can think clearly.”

Meanwhile, he looks forward to easing the pace of his social life.

The host chat segment of “Live!” — the hosts’ impromptu give-and-take that precedes each day’s interviews with celebrity guests — “is what made the show,” Philbin notes, and it was often fueled by the respective on-the-town social whirl of Regis and his co-host.

“But I sometimes would have to force myself to go out and see a play or go to a party that I really didn’t care about,” he says, “to have something that I

It’s time for single mom to pull on her big-girl pants DEAR ABBY: I am a 38-year-old mom and have been single for the last 10 years. I live alone with my 11-year-old daughter and support us without assistance. I work full-time and rely on my mother to take my daughter to school and pick her up while I’m at work.

Because of this, anytime I try to have any kind of relationship with a man, my mother turns against me. She acts like I no longer exist as long as I try to have a love life. Please give me some advice on what to do.

DEAR ABBY: You sometimes publish letters regarding random acts of kindness. I know people like to share how blessed they are that others have given to them. Well, I would like to share how being the giver is a blessing as well.

My children and I eat lunch out on Saturdays.

Most recently, we went to one of our favorite restaurants. As we were being seated, I noticed an elderly gentleman eating alone. He read the paper, ate his meal and kept to himself. I was struck by how alone he seemed to be. All during the lunch, I couldn’t shake the feeling that I should reach out.

Finally, I gave in. I went to the counter and paid for his meal.

When the waitress brought our check to the table, she asked if we knew the man. I responded no, that we just wanted to do something nice. She then confided to me that he was a regular there, but she hadn’t seen him lately because he had just lost his wife.

Abby, I was so glad I had followed my heart and reached out. I can only pray that he was as pleased by my anonymous gift as I was to give it.

could talk about the next day.”

The host chat solidified his persona as the little guy against the world sounding off about familiar frustrations, even as he lived a life rubbing elbows with fellow celebrities. He was the toast of the town with the common touch.

“It all would come together,” he acknowledges.

“But I would worry about it. That was a lot of pressure.”

“We’ve had so much fun,” said Ripa, and, with no need to specify what “it” means, she added, “I don’t want to deal with it until the actual 18th. I’m not thinking about it. I don’t want to get emotional.”

After Nov. 18, the show Philbin built will be left in her custody, as well as executive producer Michael Gelman.

“I always felt like, there’s no way Regis is ever going to stop,” said Gelman, who, at age 50, has been running “Live!” since his 20s. He said he had expected Philbin to stick around another year or two — until he learned otherwise that morning last January.

“I understand it,” he said. “Regis deserves a break after all this time and I’m getting used to the idea that he isn’t going to be here. But it’s still going to be really strange.”

Now it falls to Gelman to navigate a smooth transition to a new host after a few weeks or months of substitutes (such as Jerry Seinfeld, Nov. 21-23) and, of course, on-the-air tryouts. A process he aptly calls “dating,” it worked spectacularly well in bringing Ripa into the fold.

“I don’t want to drag it out for too long,” Gelman said, “but we also want to make the right decision.

We want to make sure this isn’t a quickie Vegas wedding that ends in divorce.”

“I’m curious who they will finally get,” says Philbin. “It’s a big decision for them, and especially for Kelly. I think it should be about who she really wants.”

Once he’s out the door, he plans to sample the show.

“If I wake up in time, I’ll take a look,” he promises.

“If I don’t, they’re on their own.”

Chances are, Philbin will be awake at that hour — but otherwise occupied.

He and wife Joy will continue playing the occasional musical date around the country. And the day after saying farewell to “Live!” he will embark on a publicity tour for his new memoir, “How I Got This Way.” First stop: a book signing at Notre Dame.

1. Four spades. You seldom raise partner with only two trumps, but you don’t have much choice in this case. Partner’s jump-rebid of three spades is highly invitational and shows at least a six-card spade suit, for which the Q-x is adequate support. It would be wrong to rebid your hearts and suppress your spade support, and it would be positively unthinkable to bid three

notrump without a club stopper.

2. Four notrump. Up to this point, you’ve shown no more than a minimum opening bid, and it’s now time for you to make a move toward slam. Unless partner has no aces, you should have a good play for 12 tricks. Partner could have, say, [S] AJ10xxx [H] xx [D] Qx [C] Axx, in which case you’d surely want to be in slam. But if he has [S] KJ10xxx [H] xx [D] Qx [C] KQx, you wouldn’t. The only way to resolve this issue is via Blackwood, planning to bid six if partner has one or two aces, and to stop in five if he has none.

3. Three notrump.

Tomorrow: Missed opThis violates the general principle that you portunity. should not bid notrump with a void in partner’s suit, but the alternative bid of four clubs is even more unattractive. Partner is unlikely to have four clubs, and even if he does, three notrump might still turn out to be the best contract.

Mom happy for Halloween to be over Halloween is over and I couldn’t be happier.

A lot of drama seemed to come with it this year, Tegan was a hot mess.

This is the little girl who has almost changed costume ideas for 360 days.

She wanted to be a Power Puff Girl, a princess and even Billie the Exterminator. But when push came to shove the toss up was either a Ninja or a kitty cat. She combed over the costume magazine and over and over the costume web sites. She loved looking at the scary costumes and talked a big show. But when Halloween items came out in the stores we couldn’t even get her to go down the aisle. She was like a monkey on Brad’s back when he wanted to help her find a costume. My girlfriend offered to take her and her sister to the Halloween store and Tegan straight up said “No thanks, Sissy can go, but I’m staying home.” And no matter what you could not change her mind.

A week before the actual Trick or Treat date, Grandma Canan invited the girls to go to the Brethren Greenville Home to Trick or Treat and to visit Greatgrandma Harmon. They didn’t bat an eyelash. Of course the fact that their two favorite cousins were also there made all the difference in the world.

Alani went dressed as planned Draculara. (She’s a new character that’s out, the daughter of Dracula) We have pretty much known what Alani was going to be for six months. She gets her mind set and she knows. As for Tegan, we were still tossing around a kitty or a Ninja. The Ninja costume was the one I could find first. She loved it.

Well, at least for one trip out. After that she wouldn’t wear it again because people thought she was a boy. But she seemed to make it through that trick or treat situation fairly unscarred by monsters in masks.

My relief didn’t last long when Mrs. Lavy (their kindergarten teacher) was carrying Tegan out of school one

HEATHER CANAN Columnist day because she was terrified. Either boys in masks or jackets that zip up to look like skeletons.

She let us know that she was shaking she was so scared. If there had been one last straw of hope of her going trick or treating on Beggar’s Night, that was all shot to pieces. Now I have a little girl that isn’t going to trick or treat at any cost.

And now my pretty little Draculara was laying in bed and told her dad that she didn’t think she needed to go trick or treating either, ‘she had enough candy.”

“Enough candy??” I’m not even sure I can claim this child any longer.

Hah But in reality this is my least favorite holiday.

It has been ever since I was a little girl. Something about the giving and taking that unsettles me. Not only did I dislike trick or treating, I even disliked passing out the candy. Strange I know. I guess a little of my weirdness for this holiday has melded into my girls.

So, Oct. 31 arrives. We have one girl thinking about going but gets cranky and decides she doesn’t even want to go.

The other one has now dressed herself as a black cat and is just going to ride along and maybe pass out candy with some friends. First stop, Aunt Bevs, only one child goes in and comes back out with two sets of candy for her sister.

Hmm..someone got lucky. House two is Grandma Canan’s house.

We are going to stop there and have some chili and hang out. Alani decides she is going to go down to Maria’s and pass out candy. So Brad takes her down there. What does she do? She clings to her dad, refuses to pass out candy or to even accept some. I think they got their mom’s weirdo jean when it comes to Halloween. But it still doesn’t stop us for dressing up as something cute and funny. Maybe we should just embrace ourselves and put all this trick or treat behind us and just wear our costumes out on any given day. Sounds like more fun to me.

Lehman students head new group of vocalists SIDNEY — At the height of the 1980s, most Catholic institutions had very active folk music ministry groups.

Lehman Catholic High School’s folk music ministry was headed by then Lehman parent Marianne Dunson. Since that time, students have come and gone and tastes have changed. Lehman’s music ministry in recent years has consisted of congregational singing accompanied by piano and led by student cantors.

The school’s music ministry is taking another turn this year. A studentled group of vocalists have formed a choir that will sing at the school’s weekly Masses. The choir will be accompanied by some musical instrumentation as well.

Senior Emily Pax and junior Ethan Jock are the force behind the enhancement of the music for

Lehman liturgies. Pax has played piano for school Masses since her freshman year. She has also been involved in music ministry at her parish, St. Mary Church in Piqua.

Jock is involved in the youth choir at Holy Angels Church in Sidney and also cantors at Masses at the church.

While still encouraging all the students to join in the singing during school Masses, Jock is directing a student choir to help lead the singing. The choir will also sing a meditative hymn after communion. Jock continues to act as cantor although other students will be joining Jock in cantoring for liturgical celebrations in the future.

“I wanted to form a choir so that we might better praise the Lord with song,” said Jock.

“Since Jesus is truly present at Mass through the

Eucharist, it is my hope that we can get people involved in the liturgical celebration and can be even more prayerful as a school community.”

Most of the choir members are active in the Lehman Music Department either as members of the Lehman Limelighters Show Choir or the Cavalier Choir, but the group is open to any student. The students practice each week in the school’s choral music room.

In addition to Jock, current choir members include William Duritsch, Dan Davis, Kris Lee, Natalie Davis, Dana Jenkins, Olivia Sehlhorst, Mille Wildenhaus, Samantha MaKenna Neumeier, Cabe, Tori Tullis, Micayla Hanover, Grace Jackson, Abbie Vogann, Elaina Snyder, Sarah Cabe, Katie Rossman, and Julia Harrelson.

The first communion meditation, an arrangement of “Ave Maria,” featured the choir and three violinists along with piano. Sophomores Grace Winhoven and Grace Jackson and freshman Rachel Remencus started on violin while students at DeColores Montessori School in Greenville. Winhoven and Jackson are currently members of the Dayton Philharmonic Orchestra’s Junior Strings.

“The violin adds so much to our musical accompaniment,” Jock noted. “The classical sound produced by the instrument really adds to the solemn nature of the Mass.”

Students and faculty attend Mass at least once a week. Liturgies are usually celebrated on Fridays except on weeks when Holy Days of Obligation occur. Mass is then celebrated on the Holy Day.-

Upper Valley Career Center plans book fair PIQUA — The Upper Valley Career Center is hosting a Scholastic Book Fair, which will be open to the public from 3:30-7 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 10, in the Learning Resource Center. Students will be able to buy books and

other materials at the book fair through Nov. 10.

A portion of the sales will be used to buy books for the school library.

The Upper Valley Career Center Scholastic Book Fair will offer books for all ages: pre-school, middle

school, young adults and adults. All books are sold at a very reasonable price with some on sale for as little as $1 or $2.

Catherine Leininger, school librarian, says this could be a great time to stock up for holiday shop-

ping and support the school.

“We encourage the community to stop by on November 10 to take the opportunity to help the school and get some good books while you are at it,” Leininger said.

One-year-old boy much too young for discipline Question: My oneyear-old has started slapping us. He also screams a lot, often for no reason, or at least we can’t figure out the reason. He is a very busy little boy and won’t sit still for longer than a few seconds. Is it too early to begin disciplining him?

Answer: If by “discipline” you mean punishing him in some way when he slaps or screams, the answer is yes, he is much too young for this sort of approach to do anything but make matters much worse. Until age two at the very least, a child’s attention span is too short for him to make the connection between misbehavior and a specific consequence. There are exceptions to this general rule, but it’s better to err on the side of caution. Between the second and third birthdays, attention span lengthens to the point where the child can make and remember simple associations of that sort.

That doesn’t mean, however, that you have to let your son slap and

JOHN ROSEMOND Columnist scream to his heart’s content for another year or two. Concerning the former, the key is to anticipate when he’s likely to slap and put him down before it occurs. If it’s impossible to put him down or you’re taken somewhat by surprise, then restrain his hand or block it. Then, gently holding his hand, look at him and say “No!” Don’t yell, but say it firmly, making sure you have his attention. At that point, put him down and walk away from him— again, if you can.

As for screaming for no reason, that’s what some infants do when they find their voice. It’s comparable to what puppies sometimes do when they

discover they can bark: they begin barking at everything and anything.

The only thing you can do about this is ignore it. If you don’t, it’s only going to get worse. If he’s screaming incessantly and for no discernible reason other than to hear himself scream, pick him up and put him gently in his crib and walk away. Then go back and pick him up when he stops. Mind you, I make no guarantees with any of these recommendations because there is no “one size fits all solution” for these sorts of problems with infants and young toddlers.

As for your son’s constant state of activity, some toddlers are very active and others are not.

Again, I make no guarantees, but I do have three suggestions that should make the situation more tolerable for all concerned.

First, I strongly recommend that you childproof your home. Put up any and all household objects that present danger to him or you don’t want bro-

ken. You should also gate off the kitchen, stairs, and any other area of the home that is impossible to childproof. The idea is to allow him as much freedom of movement and exploration as possible.

Second, eliminate toy clutter. Children of all ages will play more creatively and independently with five toys than they will with fifty. The more toy clutter, the more the child will demand attention and engage in purposeless activity. Fewer toys allows a child to focus more effectively and therefore be less “driven.”

Third, eliminate electronic “noise” to the greatest degree possible. Turn off the television while he’s awake, for example.

Just as noise pollution agitates young children, a quiet home has a calming effect. I think that’s true of adults as well, by the way.

LOCAL/NATION

‘Welcome Home’ celebration to honor Miami Valley vets FOR THE DAILY CALL MIAMI VALLEY — The Vietnam War ended nearly 40 years ago producing a generation of war heroes who received little acknowledgement of their service, and virtually no welcome home.

Boehner: There’s room for revenue WASHINGTON (AP) House Speaker John Boehner said Thursday that “there’s room for revenue” as a congressional deficit-reduction supercommittee seeks $1.2 trillion or more in deficit cuts over the coming decade. But he says it would require a major overhaul of government benefit programs.

“Without real reform on the entitlement side, I’m not even going to put any new revenue on the table,” Boehner said. Entitlement programs include Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid.

Boehner says he remains committed to helping the deficit panel succeed.

GOP blocks Obama plan WASHINGTON (AP) — Republicans in the Senate Thursday dealt President Barack Obama the third in a string of defeats on his stimulus-style jobs agenda, blocking a $60 billion measure for building and repairing infrastructure like roads and rail lines.

Supporters of the failed measure said it would have created tens of thousands of construction jobs and lifted the still-strug-

gling economy. But Republicans unanimously opposed it for its tax surcharge on the wealthy and spending totals they said were too high.

The 51-49 vote fell well short of the 60 votes required under Senate procedures to start work on the bill. Every Republican opposed the president, as did Democrat Ben Nelson of Nebraska and former Democrat Joe Lieberman,

I-Conn., who still aligns with the party.

Obama’s loss was anything but a surprise, but the White House and its Democratic allies continue to press popular ideas from Obama’s poll-tested jobs package in what Republicans say is nothing more than a bare-knuckle attempt to gain a political edge by invoking the mantra of jobs but doing little to seek compromise.

Legion Americanism test planned PIQUA — Students in grades 10, 11 and 12 from Piqua, Troy, Covington and Fletcher areas are invited to take the Americanism and Government (A&G) test from 6:30-7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 8 at the Piqua American Legion Post, 184, 310 W. Water St.

The test will be held in the upstairs Legion meeting room. Please bring a pen or pencil. The test will be conducted by County Commander Ron Cooper and District Auxiliary President Robyn Cooper.

The hour-long test is made up of national, state, and

local questions of Americanism and government.

Contact the Coopers at 773-0165 to reserve a space. Students also may request a copy of an old test for review. State winners will win a trip to Gettysburg and Washington, D.C.

Former PHS star Continued from page 1 he began “I went in Monday morning like usual, got a (weight) lift in and went to my first special teams meeting. During the meeting, Coach (Shawn) Slocum — special teams coach — told me I would be at left wing on the line up.

It caught me off guard, because they don’t put people on practice squad on the first string, so it was a surprise,” he said.

“I sort of gave him an answer as ‘Um, OK?’ At that point I knew something was up,” Saine said.

“As I was walking to my next meeting, vice president of finance Russ Ball pulled me aside and notified me that I was being pulled up and I signed my new contract. It was all surreal. When I went into the team locker room after my next meeting, my jersey was hanging on it.

Being on the practice squad, our lockers are away from the team. I noticed no one else had a jersey in the locker next to mine. That’s when the excitement set it. I had the jersey in my locker room because we had a team picture that morning and I was going to be a part of it.

It was a total surprise.”

The congenial 5-foot-11inch, 220-pound Saine said he always remained hopeful that he’d get activated within the Packer organization.

“I’ve always known a couple things would have to happen for me to get a chance to be on the active roster. So, this whole time I’ve worked hard to be the player they want me to be.

I wanted to leave no doubt in their minds that I was ready, so I made sure I did everything right and become the best that I could from the get go.”

He added, “Being on the practice squad is very similar to be on the team. We would do everything a normal active player would do but play in a game. You don’t travel with the team for away games, you don’t stay in hotels the night before a home game and you sit in a press box home games.” Still, he was expected to attend all meetings, practices and mandatory events.

“There are eight practice squad players per NFL team,” he explained. “I was very confident that I would be signed on. I would tell my fiancee — Kylie — every day ‘When I get activated…’. It was never ‘If I get activated.”

Voted as Mr. Ohio of Football in 2006, Saine has always been a running back since his days at Piqua High School and The Ohio State University where he was named recipient of the Rex Kern Award for outstanding back from the OSU coaches and a Parade AllAmerican as well as a Big Ten All-Academic scholar.

“I have the ability to catch passes out of the backfield and utilize my speed as well,” said the son of Wendi Croft of Piqua. “I will do whatever it takes to be on the field and help the team win. I have two very strong and talented running backs ahead of me — Ryan Grant and James Starks — so for now, I think I’ll be most utilized on special teams. I don’t mind it. I’m just a rookie learning something new every day and I get to learn from two vets who have been great mentors along the way.”

When asked how his routine has changed since being activated, Saine responded “My daily routine hasn’t changed much. We practice once a day, lift weights three or four times a week and have team meetings and position meetings the rest of the day. The only thing different will be traveling every week with the team and being on the sidelines hoping to see the field. The weight room staffs in the

NFL are a lot more conscientious of the pounding you take in the game of football. So most of our lifting is injury prevention.”

Since moving to Green Bay earlier this summer, Piqua’s native son spent the first six weeks living in a dorm and/or hotel room with a roommate. “I was fortunate enough to have Kylie come visit for Labor Day weekend to find me a place to live. When I found out I was on the practice squad, I had eight days to move out of the hotel and find a place to live. I also had no car, so luckily when she came she found me a house to rent and I got a car all within three days she was here while I practiced every day.”

Brandon and Kylie located a house that is within a mile of Lambeau Field and convenient when reporting to early morning workouts. “We are also in a really nice neighborhood and I have a teammate of mine that lives right next door to me.”

“The once piece of advice I kept getting was to make sure to buy a car with fourwheel drive so I made sure to take care of that right away,” he added, referring to Green Bay’s winter extremities. “The snow gets pretty bad here for about four months since we are right off Lake Michigan.”

Brandon and Kylie, 2007 and 2006 PHS graduates, respectively, met while on the Indians’ track team through a mutual best friend, Pete Rolf.

Kylie, daughter of Jerry and Lisa Whitaker of Piqua, went to Otterbein University before transferring to OSU. Saine graduated from OSU in March 2011 with a bachelor of science degree in business administration specializing in economics.

“If the NFL didn’t work out, my dream job would have been to work in the financial department of an NFL team,” he said.

Saine proposed to Kylie on Oct. 28 and, of course, she answered “yes.” “I proposed along the walking trails that we walk our dogs at every day. Since we haven’t had much time to explore, we didn’t have a favorite restaurant or place in Green Bay yet. I was nervous but very excited.” Saine and Whitaker will exchange wedding vows next spring in Columbus.

Saine is described by many Piqua fans as an unpretentious and a humble young man who has always remained grounded and true to his beginnings.

“I’m not much different than the way you characterized me,” responded Saine. “My mom, Wendi Croft and grandmother, Debbie Chaney, raised me and I pretty much owe it all to them. Between them, my two sisters and Kylie’s family, they made me into the guy I am today.”

When asked about mentors in his lifetime, Saine began “I’ve been fortunate enough to have Kylie’s dad, Jerry, be a great father figure to me for the past six years. He, along with my grandfather (Jeff) has shown me what it means to be a man. I also have the utmost respect for PHS Coach (Bill) Nees. He is a guy that instilled a lot of faith in me when I was young and has always been more than a coach to me.”

“In fact, when I was home for the Piqua football game last week,” Saine continued, “I spoke to the team before the game started. When I was finished. Coach Nees looked at me and told me ‘Five years ago you would have never thought of doing this’ and he’s right. I’ve been blessed to have a lost of positive mentors and fans the last six or so years of my life.”

It’s been a banner year for No. 33 whose career with the Packers is just the tip of the iceberg.

HOROSCOPE Friday, Nov. 4, 2011 Jump at any chances you get in the year ahead to join new clubs, groups or organizations where you can make new friends. Substantial benefits could come your way through contacts you develop at this time.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Be a good listener if someone you know seeks you out to discuss a tasty tidbit of recent vintage. It’ll be to your advantage to check it out with alacrity.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Try to finalize some kind of involvement you have with others that has profitable potential. Stay on top of it and don’t leave anything dangling, because time is not on your side.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Because both your luck and popularity might be waxing, this could be an interesting day for you. Each factor could help produce something good.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Keep at it, because you could be rather fortunate in resolving a critical situation or issue that looked to be hanging in the balance. Once resolved, you’ll feel like a winner.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — Don’t hesitate to help out a friend when he or she requests it. What this person will do for you in appreciation could make the gesture you offer pale in comparison.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) — Adopting a positive attitude always works to your advantage. Have complete faith in yourself and your abilities, and you’ll be able to pull off something that may astound both you and others.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — Something you put together is likely to have ongoing benefits for a long time to come. Because the dividends may be small, this might not be apparent to you at present.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) — Go out of your way to make your friends feel appreciated and you’ll be repaid 10 times over. Duly paid attention is a dynamic bonding agent.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Displaying initiative and imagination can lead to extremely positive results in any area of your life. It behooves you to utilize both in all your financial dealings at this juncture.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — If you’re put in a position where you have to make a decision that would affect someone you love, put this person’s feelings above your own interests and concerns.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — There’s a strong likelihood that you’ll find yourself in a brief cycle of fortunate changes that you might not recognize at first. Two beneficial shifts could take place before you know it.

Buck Eyes An inside look at Ohio State football WHERE ARE THEY NOW?

BUCKEYE BUSTERS

NAME: Vaughn Broadnax HOMETOWN: Xenia OHIO STATE YEARS: 1980-83 HIGHLIGHTS: Broadnax was a three-year starter at fullback who spent much of his time blocking for Keith Byars and Tim Spencer.

But he also rushed for 1,085 yards and scored 14 touchdowns in his career. His best season was when he gained 514 yards and scored nine touchdowns in 1982.

AFTER OSU: Broadnax is a manager for the United States Postal Service in Indianapolis.

1: Who selected David Boston in

the first round of the 1998 NFL draft?

2: Which shoe did Keith Byars

lose on his legendary 67-yard run against Illinois in 1984?

3: How many passes did Shawn Spring intercept when he was the Big Ten’s Defensive Player of the Year in 1996?

SAY WHAT?

RECRUITING UPDATE

“I can throw it a little bit.”

4: Who has the Ohio State career

record for rushing touchdowns?

5: How many consecutive 100-yard

rushing games did Archie Griffin have?

— Ohio State tailback Dan Herron talks about the possibilty of him passing the ball out of the wildcat formation, in which he takes a direct snap from the center..

Answers: 1. Arizona Cardinals; 2. Left; 3.

None; 4. Pete Johnson (56); 5. 31

Cameron Burrows, a junior cornerback from Trotwood-Madison, was at the Ohio State-Wisconsin game last Saturday and reportedly has been invited to the LSU-Alabama game this Saturday by Alabama.

Michael Thomas. a 2012 wide receiver recruit from Fork Union Military Academy, has verbally committed to OSU. Thomas caught 86 passes for 1,656 yards and 21 touchdowns at Woodland Hills (Calif.)

Taft High School in 2010.

He is the nephew of former NFL receiver Keyshawn Johnson.

Billy Price, a 6-4, 280-pound junior defensive lineman from Austintown Fitch, has offers from Ohio State, Michigan, Nebraska, Notre Dame, Tennessee, UCLA, SMU and others.

Indiana at Ohio State, Noon, Saturday, BTN QUARTERBACKS

RECEIVERS

Braxton Miller never looked more in control at quarterback than he did in Ohio State’s 33-29 win over Wisconsin last Saturday night. His 40-yard touchdown pass to Devin Smith for the game-winning score might have saved the season for OSU. But it also might have created slightly excessive expectations of what Miller can do on a regular basis.

True freshman Tre Roberson, last year’s Mr. Football in Indiana, became IU’s starting quarterback two games ago. He replaced Edward Wright-Baker.

Roberson has completed 60 percent of his passes for two touchdowns, with one interception, and has averaged 102 yards rushing a game as the starter.

Advantage: Even

To put it in recessionary terms, Ohio State’s wide receivers have had their hours cut back or their jobs downsized. No OSU receiver has caught more than four passes in a game this season. Against Illinois, there was only one pass completion and at Miami no wide receiver had a catch.

Indiana lost two of its top three receivers earlier this week when Damarlo Belcher was booted off the team for that old favorite, a “violation of team rules,” and Duwyce Wilson suffered a season-ending knee injury. Belcher, who was suspended for the Northwestern game before being permanently separated from the team, caught 78 passes last season.

Advantage: Even

< OFFENSIVE LINEMEN

Ohio State’s offensive line did a lot of good work when the offense rolled up 457 yards against Wisconsin. But also give the line credit for something it didn’t do. After having nine false start penalties in its previous three games, it had only one flag thrown for that violation last Saturday.

Center Will Matte (31 career starts) might be Indiana’s best offensive lineman, but he has missed the last two games with a knee injury. IU’s depth chart lists him as a starter this week. Tackle Andre McDonald has 20 career starts. Indiana has used six different starting lineups on its offensive line this season.

Advantage: Ohio State

< DEFENSIVE LINEMEN John Simon and Johnathan Hankins have been solid all season and now they’re getting some help. Adam Bellamy added a sack to the two Simon had against Wisconsin. Maybe the most impressive work the defensive line did in that game was holding the Badgers’ powerful running game to 89 yards.

It hasn’t been pretty for Indiana’s front seven on defense lately. In the last three games, the Hoosiers have given up 59, 45 and 59 points. Northwestern gained 616 yards (317 rushing) against them last week. Before that, Iowa went for 456 yards (203 rushing) and Wisconsin rolled for 524 yards (332 rushing). Three-year starter Adam Replogle (4 sacks) is probably the best defensive lineman IU has.

Advantage: Ohio State

< LINEBACKERS

DEVIN SMITH The 6-foot-3, 190-pound freshman from Massillon sent OSU fans into a frenzy when he reeled in a 40-yard touchdown pass from Braxton Miller to beat Wisconsin on Saturday. Smith has 227 receiving yards and 4 TDs.

< RUNNING BACKS It’s obvious Dan Herron is determined to make up for lost time in the six regular-season games he has been allowed to play after serving a six-game suspension. Herron made it two for two in 100-yard rushing games since his return when he ran for 160 yards against Wisconsin. Carlos Hyde, who has nearly disappeared from the offense since Herron’s return, could get more carries this week because No. 2 tailback Jordan Hall suffered a sprained ankle against Wisconsin and No. 4 tailback Jaamal Berry has been suspended after being charged with assault.

Junior college transfer Stephen Houston leads Indiana with 577 yards and six touchdowns. He rushed for 151 yards on 19 carries in a 59-38 loss to Northwestern last week.

Advantage: Ohio State

It was no surprise that Andrew Sweat was the player pressuring Wisconsin quarterback Russell Wilson on the Badgers’ final play last Saturday. He leads the Buckeyes in tackles with 57. Freshman linebacker Ryan Shazier continued to impress, getting a blocked punt against Wisconsin.

Indiana senior linebacker Leon Beckum has played the last two games after missing six games because of a knee injury in the season opener. He led Indiana in tackles for losses last season. Middle linebacker Jeff Thomas has 4.5 tackles for losses. Redshirt freshman Chase Hoobler is the brother of former Ohio State player Chad Hoobler.

Advantage: Ohio State

< DEFENSIVE BACKS Ohio State gave up two passing touchdowns in 2 ½ minutes in the fourth quarter against Wisconsin. Add that to a secondhalf collapse against Nebraska and a close call against Toledo and there might be some reason for concern. But Wisconsin’s Wilson was the first quarterback since Michigan State’s Kirk Cousins to pass for more than 200 yards against OSU. Indiana has given up 15 touchdown passes, five more than any other team in the the Big Ten. The Hoosiers start two true freshmen in the defensive backfield.

Advantage: Ohio State

< SPECIAL TEAMS Drew Basil has hit his last nine field goal attempts, though he had to sneak his only attempt against Wisconsin through the uprights. Ben Buchanan is averaging 41.3 yards per punt.

Jordan Hall’s kickoff return was an important part of OSU’s final drive against Wisconsin.

Advantage: Ohio State

Tradition not always a good thing There are rebuilding jobs.

There are major rebuilding jobs. And then there is Indiana football.

At places like Ohio State, Michigan and Notre Dame, buildings are named after football coaches who won year after year after year.

Who would qualify for such an honor at Indiana? Bo McMillan, maybe?

McMillan, who left Indiana in 1947, is the last Hoosiers football coach to depart with a winning record for his time in Bloomington.

Thirteen coaches have followed him, including current first-year coach Kevin Wilson. None of the 12 between McMillan and Wilson could get above the .500 mark for their career, and Wilson is off to a bad start with a 1-8 record so far.

Winning at Indiana is like an Iron Man competition for coaches. Only no one ever gets to the finish line.

Some pretty good coaches have come and gone at IU, confident they would be the ones to reverse the course of Hoosiers football history.

John Pont, whose teams were 31-51-1 at Indiana from 1965-1972, had a 55-27-3 record at Miami of Ohio and Yale before he tried to turn the Hoosiers’ program around.

Lee Corso might be best remembered as a jokester now and when he was going 41-68-2 at Indiana from 19731982. But he had a 36-23-5 career record at Louisville and Northern Illinois.

Bill Mallory had four winning seasons in five years from 1990-1994 at IU, but his overall record there was 69-77-3.

At Miami of Ohio, Colorado and Northern Illinois, he was 96-48-4.

Gerry DiNardo was 8-27 at Indiana from 2002-04 after his LSU and Vanderbilt teams won 51 of 101.

The late Terry Hoeppner never saw a losing season at Miami of Ohio in six years, but then went 9-14 in two seasons at IU. Ohio State fans were ready to write off the season when the Buckeyes split their first six games. Imagine the faith and fortitude it would take to be a longtime Indiana football fan.

Lehman’s Lindsey Spearman hits the ball against Fort Loramie Thursday.

TIPP CITY — The showdown is set.

No. 1 St. Henry will play No. 2 Lehman Catholic in a Division IV volleyball regional final at 2 p.m. Saturday at Tippecanoe High School.

“Definitely, we are looking forward to it after losing to them (in the regular season),” Lehman senior middle Paxton Hatcher said. “And, we are playing well right now.”

But first, Lehman had to get past a young, talented Fort Loramie team Thursday night in the regional semifinals.

And the Lady Redskins scrapped hard in all three games before losing 25-20, 25-18, 25-16.

“This was a good match for us,” Lehman coach Greg Snipes said. “This was good preparation for St. Henry. Both teams are familiar with each other and get up for this match.

Fort Loramie always plays us tough, so we knew this

would be a good match.”

And while they came up short, the Lady Redskins showed why they will be one of the most feared teams around in the future, putting up an 18-9 record with a roster that was made up mostly of freshman and sophomores.

“You are going to see these girls for another two years, some of them three,” Fort Loramie coach John Rodgers said. “There were a whole lot of people who saw us this summer and didn’t give us much chance of being here (in the regionals).

“I am so proud of these girls. From winning the league, to winning sectionals and district, these girls have really come a long way.”

And all three games seemed to have a pattern to them.

Lehman would get off to a fast start, only to see the Lady Redskins rally.

The first game the Lady Cavalier opened a 15-8 See CAVS/Page 15

Li’l Cavs sweep Super Bowl The Lehman Li’l Cavs football teams both finished the season undefeated, sweeping the Super Bowl.

The JVs won 12-6.

Brendan O’Leary scored on a 30-yard run, while Brennan Arnold had a 35yard touchdown run.

Prakel healthy for state meet Versailles, Russia boys in D-III team competition

BY ROB KISER Sports Editor rkiser@dailycall.com Versailles junior Samuel Prakel is healthy going into the state cross country meet — which could be bad news for his opponents.

Prakel finished 13th at the Division III state meet as freshman despite being under the weather and last year he was coming off an injury and finished seventh.

“I feel really good,” Prakel said after running a regional record 15:32.74

last week. “Definitely (there is a different expectation level this year).

But, I know there are going to be a lot of really good runners (at state).”

And he isn’t fooled by the regional times last week.

Prakel’s time is almost 50 seconds faster than the second fastest qualifying time, 16:16.42 by Mike Seas of Coldwater.

“I probably had the best conditions to run in last week,” Prakel said. “The other regionals had a lot MIKE ULLERY/CALL FILE PHOTO

For Home Delivery, Call: 773-2725

Versailles senior Tammy Berger can remember when she was frustrating one upperclassmen after another by beating them.

Now, the two-time defending state champion is expected to be in a great race with two freshman in her final high school race.

“It does make me feel old,” Berger said with a laugh. “You definitely don’t want to lose to freshman when you are a senior. But, they are both great runners. We have gone back and forth this year, so we will see what happens.”

Those two freshman are Brittany Atkins of Liberty Center and Sarah Kanney of Coldwater, who went 1-2 in the Tiffin regional in 18:46.70 and 19:09.54, while Berger won the Troy regional in 18:58.57.

Lehman’s Ellie Waldsmith (left photo) hits the ball over Janelle Hoying as Julie Hoying and Ellie Cain (22) watch. Morgan Schmitmeyer (right photo) digs the ball.

Cavs Continued from page 14 lead with two kills each

by Lindsey Spearman and Andrea Thobe.

“Most of the year, we have relied heavily on the middles,” Snipes said.

“Tonight, we went to the outsides and they came through, which was good to see. I thought we would be tight early, but we came out and opened up a lead.”

A Lindsey Hilgefort kill and Reggi Brandewie block started a run for Fort Loramie and they got as close as 20-18, before

the Cavaliers finished things off.

Consecutive kills by Thobe on Ellie Waldsmith’s serve ended it.

“Our problem was we just couldn’t string points together tonight,” Rodgers said. “We would get a couple points and Lehman would say OK and run off three or four points. They have that experience and that is what they do.”

It was more of the same in the second and third games.

In the second game, Lehman led 18-9 after an Ellie Cain ace. A kill by Darian Rose helped Loramie close within 20-16, before the Lady Cavs would put the game away, with kills by Cain and Hatcher.

“That seemed to be the rhythm for the first two games,” Snipes said. “I thought we did a better job closing things out in the third game.”

Hatcher began to take control at the net as the

match went on, finishing with five blocks.

“After the first couple points, we were able to control the net,” Snipes said. “Paxton (Hatcher) had a big match and that is something that will be important Saturday with St. Henry’s size.”

A block and spike by Hatcher gave Lehman an 11-4 lead in the third game and Fort Loramie could get no closer than 20-15 before the Lady Cavaliers finished things

off.

“I got off to a rough start tonight,” Hatcher said. “It happens. I played better after that.”

For Lehman, Thobe had 13 kills, 18 assists and eight digs, while Morgan Schmitmeyer had six kills.

Waldsmith had five kills and seven digs and Cain dished out 12 assists.

Erica Paulus had 13 digs and Meghan Earhart added seven.

For Loramie, Rose had 10 kills, while Hilgefort

added six.

Kelly Turner added five kills and Brandewie was good for four.

Danielle Wehrman led the defense with 19 digs and Meghan Bruns added seven. Julie Hoying dished out 21 assists.

Now, Lehman, 24-3, gets a rematch with St. Henry “We are peaking at the right time,” Thobe said.

“Yes (we are looking forward to the match).”

Nothing else needed to be said.

Girls Continued from page 14 coach Mark Plieman said. “So, it should be a great race.”

If there is an ace in the hole for Berger, it is that she seems to thrive on big moments.

“She does,” Pleiman said. “She handles everything (being a two-time state champion) very well.

Tammy is very comfortable in her own skin. She is such a selfless runner.

Her focus is on the team.”

And as always — Berger’s thoughts are on the team race. Which figures to make the race up front even more intense.

“Both of their teams (Coldwater, Liberty Center) are really good,” Berger said. “They are going to be right up there.

So, that makes it even more important (to finish first). If I go out and run my best race, that is all I can do. It really hasn’t hit me (being her final prep cross country race).”

Plieman would like nothing better than to see the Lady Tigers finish on the podium as a team.

He said one of the keys will be the Lady Tigers 2-3 runners Natalie Grillot and Chloe Warvel.

“They are going to be big for us,” he said. “They have been solid all year.

They haven’t gotten down to the 19s yet and we need that from both of them.

And our 4-5 runners have been solid all year.”

Normally, Versailles’ experience might be a big

19:11.22.

“It is so sad,” she said about Saturday being her final race. “But, I will be running for Ohio University next year. So, I will still be running. I just want to thank God for blessing me with this opportunity.”

■ Russia’s Lauren Francis is coming off an eighth-place finish at the regional.

The junior was clocked in 19:34.0. She finished 29th at state a year ago.

“I am just very happy to have this opportunity,” she said. “I think I missed Academic All-Ohio by two spots last year, so that is a goal. And it would always be nice to get on the podium.”

And Prakel certainly doesn’t expect to be running alone — like he was at the regional. And that is fine with him.

“There will definitely be some guys right there with me,” he said. “I don’t think I will be running alone. I don’t really like that. I just have to find the runners I know are good.”

Versailles coach Mark Plieman agreed with Prakel’s assessment.

“Those times from the regionals are very deceiving,” he said. “There are some great runners out there.

“Even though Sam was relatively healthy last year, he was coming off an injury and he has had just about everything, going back to seventh grade.”

Prakel is looking forward to having his teammates there — the first time he will have that experience at the state meet.

“I think it will make me more comfortable,” he said. “It will feel mor like a normal meet. It is a new course. I have heard from rumors there are some rolling hills so the practice

advantage — but the meet is being held at National Trail Raceway in Hebron for the first time.

“We will go over the course really good (in a practice run),” Plieman said. “We will check out every turn and talk about it — then it will be up to the kids.”

One thing he isn’t concerned about is Berger adjusting to a new course.

“She is an extremely intelligent kid,” he said.

“There isn’t a lot of coaching involved there.”

■ Houston’s Allison Roeth will look to top last year’s 14th-place finish to cap her high school cross country career.

Roeth finished third at the regional last week in

on the course will be important.”

Which doesn’t surprise Plieman to hear him say.

“Sam’s an extremely intelligent kid,” he said.

“There is not a lot of coaching involved with him.”

For Plieman, it was an emotional moment last weekend when the Versailles boys qualified for state for the first time since 2005.

“I think Sam (Prakel) will definitely be more comfortable,” he said. “It was our goal from the beginning of the year to make it to state. We have set a goal of finishing in the top half (top six) at state.”

■ Russia, led by Steven Stickel’s 17th-place finish at regional, will also be competing at state as a team.

A big key for the Raiders will be to continue their pack running.

“We put five guys in the 17s at regionals and that is what we had to do,” Russia coach Doug Foster.

“It is going to be a very tough and competitive race. We will see how we do.”

The cookbook recipe cook-off will be held at 10 a.m. December 3 at the Upper Valley Career Center in Piqua. Recipe finalists in each category to be included in the contest will be chosen by a panel of judges and notified by phone after the recipe deadline.
