< QUARTERBACKS >

RECEIVERS >

It has taken Braxton Miller only a few games to show why he was such a highly recruited quarterback. He is a dynamic runner. But, other than his game-winning throw against Wisconsin, the Ohio State freshman has looked like a work in progress in the passing game. He has not thrown for more than 95 yards in any of his starts. This is no longer Joe Tiller and Drew Brees’ pass-dominated offense for Purdue. The Boilermakers rank ninth in the Big Ten in passing yards. Caleb TerBush (1,386 yards passing, 10 TDs, 6 INTs) is the starter, but Robert Marve (344 yards, 3 TDs) has rotated with TerBush in some games. Advantage: Even

Uncertainty is the rule in OSU’s receiving unit. Devin Smith caught the winning touchdown pass against Wisconsin and then didn’t get a catch against Indiana. Tight end Jake Stoneburner caught eight passes in the first two games of the season and has only four since. Purdue spreads the ball around in the passing game. Nine different Boilermakers caught passes in a 62-17 loss to Wisconsin last week and six players have 12 or more catches. Justin Siler (34 catches), O.J. Ross (29 catches) and Antavian Edison (26 catches) are TerBush’s favorite targets. Advantage: Purdue

< OFFENSIVE LINEMEN

Ohio State has blocked well in its running game but continues to give up an uncomfortably high number of sacks. The Buckeyes have averaged 267 yards a game rushing in their last four games since being held to 35 yards on the ground by Michigan State. But they also have allowed a Big Ten-worst 28 sacks this season. Purdue’s left tackle Dennis Kelly has started 33 consecutive games and has been talked about as an NFL prospect. The Boilermakers’ second-most experienced lineman, guard Peters Drey, missed last week’s game and is questionable for this week because of a back injury. Advantage: Ohio State

< DEFENSIVE LINEMEN

OSU’s John Simon has been dominant in the last three games, totaling five sacks and nine tackles for losses. He has six sacks and 12.5 tackles for losses on the season. Jonathan Hankins has three sacks and eight tackles for losses. Purdue defensive end Kawann Short (12.5 tackles for losses, 3.5 sacks) was a second-team All-Big Ten selection last season. Tackle Bruce Gaston is a two-year starter. Freshman Ryan Russell, one of the Boilermakers’ better pass rushers, was limited last week by a sprained ankle. Advantage: Ohio State

< LINEBACKERS

JOHN SIMON The 6-foot-2, 270-pound junior defensive lineman from Youngstown is part of a wicked group that continues to harrass offensive lines. Simon has 39 tackles this season, 12.5 for a loss, with six sacks.

Ohio State’s linebackers’ inexperience is sometimes overlooked. Andrew Sweat, the veteran of the group, has 52 percent of his career tackles this season. Seventy-seven percent of Etienne Sabino’s career tackles have been this season and 49 percent of Storm Klein’s stops have been this season. Sweat leads OSU with 66 tackles and has five tackles for losses. For Purdue, Dwayne Beckford has 70 tackles and four tackles for losses. Joe Holland is second on the team in tackles with 67 and has an interception. He has 44 career starts. Advantage: Ohio State

< DEFENSIVE BACKS

Turnovers have been an emphasis from Day One for Ohio State coach Luke Fickell. OSU’s 10 interceptions ranks third in the Big Ten, but Fickell says the Buckeyes need to do more. Cornerback Bradley Roby has three interceptions to lead OSU. Purdue sophomore cornerback Ricardo Allen has three interceptions this season and six in his career. He has taken three of the interceptions back for touchdowns, including one this season. Advantage: Ohio State Dan Herron has run for more than 100 yards in each of the last three games and Carlos Hyde went over 100 yards for the second time this season when Ohio State beat Ohio State fans got nervous when kicker Drew Basil Indiana 34-20 last Saturday. Jordan Hall’s ankle sprain, which kept him on the sidelines last week, might still be a missed his first two kicks this season after going 0 for 2 last year. But Basil has hit 12 in a row since then. problem this week. Carson Wiggs, who kicked a 55-yard field goal in Purdue’s For Purdue, Ralph Bolden, who missed last season with upset of Ohio State in 2009, is 10 of 15 on field goals this a knee injury, and junior college transfer Akeem Shavers share the tailback season. Punter Cody Webster leads the Big Ten at 45.5 position. Bolden (469 yards) and Shavers (338 yards) both average 4.6 yards yards a kick. Freshman Raheem Mostert is second in the Big per carry.

The three most earth-shaking firings in the Big Ten in the last 50 years have to be Ohio State firing football coach Woody Hayes in 1978, Indiana terminating men’s basketball coach Bobby Knight in 2000 and Wednesday night’s ousting of football coach Joe Paterno in a house cleaning that also took down the president at Penn State. All three coaches were iconic figures who had spent several decades in their jobs. All three had become, for good or ill, the face of their universities to many people. They were legends. And all three did themselves in. Hayes and Knight cost themselves their jobs with their inability to control their tempers. But it was different with Paterno. His inaction, or maybe more precisely doing less than he should have, cost him a job he had held for 46 years. Paterno, who will be 85 years old next month, apparently learned at least the broad outline of an incident in which his longtime defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky allegedly sexually abused a child in 2002. His failure to do anything beyond reporting it to his athletic director led to his demise. In 46 years at Penn State, Paterno must have made thousands of decisions, maybe hundreds of thousands. But his career and at least part of his legacy came down to one bad decision. In all three of those firings -- and in the forced resignation of Jim Tressel at Ohio State earlier this year-- there came a point where the damage to the images of the universities became so great that it became inevitable the coaches would not survive the controversies swirling around them. Penn State, which had happily allowed Paterno to be the face of the university for so many years, decided it no longer could affort to be part of that bargain. It will be strange to see Penn State take the field on Saturday against Nebraska without Paterno, just as it will be odd not to see him at Ohio Stadium next Saturday.

Although he was decked out in blue camouflage, no one could miss junior Garrett Mitchell leading the chants for both the student and adult spectators. “The girls need us to get them back up in the game,” Mitchell said between sets. “Our volleyball team is the best and we’ll push them through until they win.” Plus, we have a better student section than any other team,” he said.

Deputies arrest suspects in area burglaries STAFF REPORTS MIAMI COUNTY — Miami County deputies arrested two subjects and have charged them with one county of burglary, n a r cotics charges a n d possession of d r u g abuse instru- KRUG ments. The arrests s t e m from a broadc a s t t h e Darke MONSIVAIS County Sheriff ’s Office put out Wednesday afternoon to be on the lookout for a dark colored Cadillac. The vehicle’s registration came back to Kevin R. Krug II, who lives on Troy-Urbana Road in Miami County. Darke County had put out the broadcast after a Darke County resident interrupted his house being broken into and forwarded the license plate and description to Darke County deputies. Miami County deputies later located and stopped the vehicle on Piqua-Troy Road, just north of TroyUrbana Road. The vehicle was occupied by the two suspects and deputies recovered heroin and sy-

ringes from the passenger compartment. Krug and Manuel Monsivais were taken into custody without incident and incarcerated into the Miami County Jail. Detectives later conducted a search warrant on the vehicle and located several items to include a shotgun which is believed to have been taken from the Darke County burglary. Miami County detectives believe that the pair is responsible for most of the residential burglaries that have occurred in Monroe and Union Townships the past several weeks. Miami County detectives have charged one count of burglary for the time being against both suspects for a burglary that was reported on Iddings Road in Union Twp. More charges will be pursued in the future after detectives conclude their investigation. It is believed the suspects were using the proceeds from the burglaries to fuel their drug habits. Darke County deputies are expected to pursue charges as well. Even with the arrests Miami County Sheriff’s Office still is requesting residents report any unusual persons or vehicles by calling 9-1-1 as there has been a noticeable increase in property crimes and that is not expected to abate, said Chief Deputy Duchak.

United Way Continued from page 1 the Piqua Area United Way board, Jean Heath, Ford will be ready to take on the challenges the job entails. “Sean possesses the necessary qualities to build on the solid foundation that has been laid down by Ginny and those directors who have gone before,” she said. “The board is really looking forward to working with him.” Ford earned a bachelor of arts in communication from the University of Cincinnati and his master of business administration degree from Bluffton University. This education has served him well in his current position as coordinator of admissions and activities with Edison Community College. He also is an adjunct professor there, teaching social

sciences. “Sean brings a lot of communication experience as well as good management skills to the position,” Heath said. “He is enthusiastic, thinks outside the box, wants to give back to the community and has fundraising experience. The board is very pleased with the results of our search.” Ford will be directing the United Way in its mission to make positive and lasting change in people’s lives. This includes fundraising and distribution of those funds to qualified member agencies, managing social media and communicating the important work the United Way does for the community.

Students Continued from page 1 get into the Viking spirit Thursday. “We get everyone up and going,” Bowling said. “We have a really good fan base and we just love having the best crowd support in the state.” Sporting royal blue football gloves “because I clap so much my hands hurt,” senior Josh Snyder said no team can touch the Vikings — on or off the court. “Me and the guys we just love getting in the heads of the other team,” Snyder said. “We’ve filled

this whole section and we won’t let up until the final play is done.” Getting dressed up in whatever blue and white they can find, Snyder said their school spirit and pride rivals no other. “East is the best and our volleyball girls need all the support they can get to get them to state and bring back a win,” Snyder said. The Vikings of Miami East will sail onto the state finals at 11 a.m. Saturday at Wright State University’s Nutter Center to take on Gilmoure Academy’s Lancers.

U.S. soldier found guilty JOINT BASE LEWISMcCHORD, Wash. (AP) A U.S. Army soldier accused of exhorting his bored underlings to slaughter three civilians for sport was convicted of murder, conspiracy and other charges Thursday in one of the most gruesome

cases to emerge from the Afghan war. Staff Sgt. Calvin Gibbs, of Billings, Mont., was the highest ranking of five soldiers charged in the deaths of the unarmed men during patrols in Kandahar province early last year.

Soldiers Continued from page 1 to give the first local unit a rousing sendoff. The soldiers traveled by train south into Kentucky to link up with other Union units. After reaching Lexington — without canteens, uniforms and other equipment — the soldiers began marching on foot. “It’s hot and they have no canteens or food,” Oda said, pointing out the predicament the soldiers found themselves in. “Nobody was ready for them,” he said. Late in the day on Aug. 31, 1862, after a summer downpour, the weary soldiers stopped to rest. “It was hot and they had on wool uniforms,” Oda said. “They were exhausted and probably dropped to the ground.” However, there was to be little rest that night. “Late in the evening a small unit of Confederate soldiers ambushed the 94th,” Oda said. During the chaos that ensued, a group of soldiers on horseback stormed down the road, leading the startled Union soldiers to fear that not only were they being attacked by a enemy infantry soldiers, but also by a cavalry unit, Oda said. When the shooting ended, two 94th soldiers had been killed and four others were wounded. Another 100 to 200 soldiers were captured, including Capt. Perry Stewart, commander of Company A. Oda said in a matter of a few days the 94th “had lost 10 percent of its strength and an officer,” Following the ambush, members of 94th Infantry regrouped, still with little food or other supplies.

Tea party groups seek Ohio ‘right to work’ law Move follows voter rejection of law curbing bargaining rights BY ANN SANNER Associated Press COLUMBUS — Just two days after Ohio voters overwhelmingly rejected a state law curbing collective bargaining rights, a tea party coalition said it will push an amendment to the state’s constitution that would prevent workers covered by union contracts from being required to join unions or pay dues. Chris Littleton, the cofounder of the Ohio Liberty Council, told reporters Thursday the group has submitted an initial 1,000 signatures and the proposed wording for its rightto-work amendment to the state’s attorney general. The group needs state officials’ approval of the phrasing and signatures before it can start collecting the roughly 386,000 valid signatures needed by July to get the question on 2012 ballots. If the group fails to get the question before voters

during next year’s presidential election, it would continue its push in 2013, Littleton said. “We’re in this for the long haul,” he said. The proposed amendment comes on the heels of Tuesday’s election, when more than 61 percent of voters rejected a law that restricted the collective bargaining rights of Ohio’s more than 350,000 public workers. Forty-six percent of registered voters turned out, setting a 20-year record in terms of voter percentage and an all-time high in total people voting in an off-year general election. Labor groups and opponents of the law poured more than $24 million into the repeal campaign. The defeat of the Ohio

union law marked one of the biggest victories in decades for the labor movement. Tim Burga, president of the Ohio AFL-CIO, said in a statement that the proposed amendment was “an even more broad assault on workers’ rights” than the union law, and that the union wouldn’t shy away from defending workers’ rights once more.

ing their units forward during battles,” Oda said. Among the prominent generals killed during the Civil War was Confederate Gen. Stonewall Jackson. In addition to the officers leading the charge, soldiers also looked to the flag bearers to provide a sense of where they were during often-chaotic battles. “With all the smoke from rifle fire, sometimes it was hard for soldiers to know where they were,” Oda said, pointing up the importance of color bearers. The 94th’s first fullscale confrontation was the Battle of Perryville in Kentucky on Oct. 8, 1862. The local unit was on the front lines, fighting for about 45 minutes before the Confederate Army withdrew. The 94th suffered three deaths and five wounded soldiers in the battle. The regiment fought in the Battle of Chickamauga (Tennessee) in September 1863, the Battle of Lookout Mountain (Tennessee) in November 1863, and took part in the Siege of Atlanta during the summer of 1864. The 94th regiment’s commanding general in the southern campaign was fellow Ohioan Gen. William T. Sherman. The local soldiers served in Sherman’s March to the Sea in late 1864. The campaign ended with the capture of the Confederate port of Savannah by the end of 1864. The next story in the Civil War series will take a look at the service of the other Union Army unit that trained at Camp Piqua — the 110th Regiment of the Ohio Volunteer Infantry.

This year, three breakout sessions aimed at helping teachers have been added, covering topics such as higher education enrollment opportunities and the post-secondary enrollment option program (PSEOP),

and identifying ways that technology can help students cheat. The event will kick off with a breakfast and welcome address from keynote speaker Angela Siefer, the founder of ShinyDoor, which specializes in assisting small businesses, nonprofits and government agencies by providing social technology guidance and digital equality program development. Siefer was also the vice president of business development at Lumifi, executive director of Grassroots.org, and executive director of the Ohio Community Computing Network. Her nonprofit work has extended into the voluntary arena by serving on multiple boards, including the Community Technology Center Network, the Public Interest Registry, and Alliance for Community Media. This will be the sixth year that Edison has hosted the event, which last year had more than 3,000 statewide participants. The event is sponsored by the Ohio Department of Education, Office of Career-Technical Education in collaboration with the Ohio IT Business Advisory Network. Activities at sites throughout Ohio are supported through funds from the federal Carl D. Perkins Vocational and Technical Education Act.

Guest Column

Members of Battery C, 136th Field Artillery, are shown at Camp McCoy, Wisc., in 1951.

Taking look back at local Guest column National Guard A man not forgotten M W ilitary history tells us that Ohio’s 37th Division National Guard has provided forces for more than one war involving our nation. We should be proud. Guardsmen come from various size communities all over the Buckeye State. There may even be a few veterans of World War II, 37th Division combat still alive. I talked to a couple several years ago. They spent some nasty time crawling around miserable jungles in the South Pacific. It was tough duty. Piqua’s Battery C, 136th Field Artillery, cannoneers were there. They absorbed a lot of punishment. Within recent months, yet again, another battery of artillery from Piqua’s Armory has been called to active duty. In between times, back in the 1950s, Uncle Sam was involved in a war in Korea. Most folks had little notion of what that was all about, but they were a major part of United Nations forces. Again, over previous years, men from Miami County signed up for National Guard military training. Patriotism motivated some; others were concerned about getting drafted with no choice of what branch they might be assigned to. “Serve with guys from your hometown” is still a recruiting slogan. “Finish your college education program” applied to RICHARD ARMBRUST others. Guest Columnist In the late ’40s and very early ’50s, Battery C, 136th Field Artillery, 37th Division, located at Piqua’s Armory, drilled once a week and annually went to summer camp for a couple of weeks. M-5 tank chassis tracks pulled six, 155 mm. howitzers around. People still recall that those tracked prime movers served well in several bad snows in Piqua when other transport couldn’t move. The author of these words joined up in 1951. That same summer we were assigned summer camp at far away Camp McCoy, Wis. It took a while to drive there from Piqua there in a 2 and a half ton truck … wooden seats were not padded. Old timers in Charlie Battery said they had gone to Camp McCoy for summer training before; just prior to their call to active duty for World War II. These seasoned vets suggested, ominously, that we are sent to McCoy because it has a large artillery range where our medium range 155s could have better firing practice. To some it sounded like an indication we might soon be called upon to utilize our military prowess — like in Korea. Announcement of our “federalizing” came in 1951, as I recall. Further training would take place in Camp Polk, La. they said. It was a hot there. When I left there I vowed never to go back again … and I haven’t. Sometimes when it gets to be a soggy 100 degrees during an Ohio summer I remember miserable life there. In Korea it got summer hot and Manchurian cold in winter. Sending an entire division hadn’t worked well during early times in Korea. So guys with a critical MOS (military occupational specialty) were individually assigned to overseas duty as replacements. I had such an MOS; Fire Direction Computer. I don’t think many of Charlie, 136th, got to Korea; a handful I estimate — some went to Germany; both groups together totaled maybe a couple dozen soldiers. One Piqua resident I know of was on a troop ship about to sail for Far East Command assignment. At the last minute, he was taken from the ship because he was a short-timer … not enough time left in his enlistment to be sent overseas. I went to the Far East on the same ship as Glenn Landis … regrettably I never talked to him after that boat ride. I had joined Battery C, 424th Field Artillery (trailed 8 inch howitzers) in the Kumhwa Valley. One time we moved to a new area for temporary support and former Piqua police officer and 136th sergeant Willie Hall showed up and we shared stories … and I never saw him again either. Paul Staley, Chuck Alexander and Bob Barton are still around, I think. I was in school in August 1952, and after graduation, never resided in Piqua. I don’t know if anyone was killed in combat. So on our 1952 date of departure, our citizen-artillerymen marched to the Piqua Pennsylvania Railroad station for loading and farewells. The high school band played patriotic tunes, local biggies said goodbye, and our friends and neighbors started to worry and weep. Away we went. And that’s the point of this limited story. It was Jan. 15, 1952 — 60 years ago in a couple months — a long time ago. It doesn’t take a lot of arithmetic to guess how old those former young guys might be today. And that’s just one chapter of Piqua’s home town guardsmen. They serve their nation and their community because it suits their wonderful sense of responsibility as citizens. I thought maybe someone should notice. Thanks for listening. Richard Armbrust is a Piqua Central High School graduate, Class of 1948. He was a private in Battery C., 136th Field Artillery and a sergeant, Battery C., 424th Field Artillery, Kumhwa, Korea, winter-spring, 1952-53. He also is a retired school administrator

The song’s the thing for Swift, Perry at CMAs

Vacation caretaker leaves her neighbors’ home open to theft

CHRIS TALBOTT

DEAR ABBY: Before we went on vacation, we trusted our 15-year-old neighbor “Mia” to feed our cat, take in the mail and water the plants. While we were away, she invited some of her friends and their friends to our home. Some of them she knew by their nicknames and only for a short time. When Mia’s parents learned about the party, they forbade her to go. However, she failed to mention she had left our door unlocked for strangers to enter. It was obvious when we returned that people had been there because things were out of place and garbage was left behind. We’re missing about $100 worth of beer and liquor, $50 in change and $150 in old coins. Mia claims she doesn’t know who was there, and her friends aren’t being honest. I’d like to get the police involved. Mia, her parents and my husband think I’m “unfair” for wanting to involve the police. I believe a crime has been committed and don’t understand why I’m being treated like the bad guy when I’m the victim. The police have told me Mia would not get into trouble as long as she cooperates. Am I overreacting? — VIOLATED NEIGHBOR IN PENNSYLVANIA

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Though still largely the domain of men, triumphs by Taylor Swift and The Band Perry at the Country Music Association Awards show that the young women of country music are finding their voices and shoving the boys out of the way. Swift won the CMA’s entertainer of the year for the second time Wednesday night, Kimberly Perry of sibling act The Band Perry took home song of the year and two other awards with her brothers, Neil and Reid. Add in wins by Miranda Lambert, Lady Antebellum and Sugarland, and the songwriting strength of today’s country girls is undeniable. “When Taylor won entertainer I secretly sang (Beyonce’s) ‘Who runs the world? Girls,’ to Blake,” Lambert said after she and husband Blake Shelton repeated as male and female vocalist of the year. “I’m just really happy that females are starting to be very prominent and it is the female singer-songwriter. “It’s so cool that Kimberly wrote song of the year by herself. And

that the melancholy “If I Die Young” ran hard in the face of the successful formula so many follow made it even more impressive. The song earned Perry song of the year, which goes to the writer, and The Band Perry, which includes her brothers, single of the year and new artist of the year. Perry said the song came to her one afternoon and she got most of it down right away. She showed it to her mom and said she thought she’d bring it to Nashville to get help from another songwriter to finish it, but her mother encouraged her to keep ownership. It turned out to be the right choice. “We sort of feel like we are part of the country evangelism scene and we love to hear country songs on pop radio,” she said. Crossing over was another strong theme of the night. Jason Aldean, who earned his first major CMA award when his platinum-selling “My Kinda Party” won album of the year, also won musical event of the year for his duet “Don’t You Wanna Stay” with pop star Kelly Clarkson. And Kenny Chesney won music video of the year for his duet “You and Tequila” with rocker Grace Potter.

They’ll ask me out for a meal, give me big hugs — and a couple of them have even kissed me on the mouth. I don’t lead them on, and besides, I’m a chubby great-grandmother. What drives men to do this?

Advice friends. These men don’t frighten me, but I don’t understand their motivation. Do you? — GRANNY IN HER 70s DEAR GRANNY: There isn’t a blanket explanation for the behavior you have described. Some of your friends’ husbands may be trying to console you; others may have lecherous intentions. As to your male co-workers, big hugs and kisses are a nono in the workplace and you should tell them so. If these incidents happen repeatedly with the same people, you WILL have to speak up and say they’re making you uncomfortable. And as to your friends’ husbands, try this: Stiff-arm them when you greet them with a sweet smile, then turn your cheek when you see them coming at you. DEAR ABBY: My husband and I are not religious. We believe that people are entitled to their own beliefs. My problem lies with my brother-inlaw and his wife. They are two of the most judgmental, sanctimonious people I have ever known. They “hate” (their word) Mormons, Catholics, etc. How would you suggest I respond to their criticism of our “lack” of Christianity and their offers to pray for us? — BITING MY TONGUE IN GREAT FALLS, MONT. DEAR BITING YOUR TONGUE: If your relatives are an example of people who practice Christianity, heaven help the rest of us. If you must interact with them, practice selective deafness, and when they spout hatred, excuse yourselves. DEAR VETERANS: I salute you for your service to this country. My thanks to each of you, as well as to the brave and dedicated men and women who are still on active duty. You are the personification of patriotism and self-sacrifice for your dedication to this country.

The important thing is to tell partner that you have a huge hand and are willing to contract for game at the four- or five-level.

1. Double. Your hand is a little too good for an overcall of four diamonds. True, partner would read four diamonds as indicating a strong hand, but he wouldn’t expect quite this much. Substitute the deuce of clubs for the king and you’d have an average four-diamond bid. The double is primarily for takeout. It indicates considerable all-around strength and asks partner to bid his best (usually longest) suit. Partner will occasionally pass, converting your intended takeout double to a

your left-hand opponent might have a strong hand and good clubs. If partner can’t compete after you pass, there’s probably not much of a future for your side. 4. Four spades. When you are confronted with a pre-emptive bid, whatever you do often carries some element of risk. Here, partner needs very little for you to make a game in spades, so you should bid it. Of course, the next player might be able to double you successfully, but this risk is more than offset by the possibility of missing game if you bid only three spades. 5. Four hearts. This is the kind of hand you should have to make an immediate cuebid in the opponent’s suit. You should assume that game is likely in whatever suit

Bidding quiz penalty double when he thinks that’s his best option. If partner responds with three spades or four clubs, you plan to bid four diamonds next, thereby identifying a hand too strong for an immediate four- diamond overcall. 2. Three notrump. This means what it says — that you want to play at game in notrump. You’re not asking partner to name a suit, and he should do so only when he has good reason to think that a suit contract would be better. It is dangerous to double, because there’s no chance partner will pass, and his suit response might take you past three notrump. 3. Pass. There’s little to be gained and possibly much to be lost by bidding at this point. To overcall with four clubs would be courting disaster, since

DEAR VIOLATED: I don’t think so. The party animals who invaded your home are guilty of trespassing and theft. You should be compensated for anything that was taken and those responsible held accountable. Now that the “kids” have seen where everything of value in your house is located, you could be further victimized. You did the right thing in informing the police.

that’s a dream of mine. I’m just so happy the girls were really celebrated tonight.” Celebrated like rarely before. Swift became the second woman to win entertainer of the year twice, joining Barbara Mandrell, and she did it by the age of 21. “To win it twice is like the coolest thing ever happening to me twice,” Swift said backstage. “I’m freaking out right now.” She’s inspired legions of young girls to take up guitar and write their own songs, and she has spread the gospel of country music to the Far East, filling stadiums like few others can. She crossed the 20 million mark in album sales and has almost no rival in the genre when it comes to bringing converts over the wall. She’s made all that headway on the strength of her songs. She loves nothing better than the process of turning inspiration into something that makes a connection with people all over the planet. Perry experienced a similar kind of revelation when her song “If I Die Young” conquered country radio then began to crossover on to pop stations. Rarely do country songs resonate across genres, and

Teens turn to life coaches to cope with pressures BY LEANNE ITALIE Associated Press NEW YORK — At 17, Maggie Duwelius is a busy high school senior with her eye on a tough, competitive college. She’s a hard worker, her mom said, but her grades often fall short of that goal as she navigates a whirl of extracurriculars: sports, volunteer gigs, voice lessons, baby sitting. Maggie’s life much of the crush self-imposed felt out of control, with up to six hours of homework nightly and as little as five hours of sleep. “She’s the most self-motivated of my three kids by far, but she’s not one of those naturally ‘I can walk into this test with a pencil and do all right’ kids,” said mom Sarah Duwelius in suburban Portland, Ore. “I’d see her working so hard and thought there has to be another way.” That’s where Maggie’s life coach came in, riding a trend over the last few years of extending the nontraditional help for adults to middle and high schoolers. Life coaching for kids is not just about streamlining study habits or staying organized, though those things are part of what John Williams does with Maggie. It’s about young people taking control. “It’s more about the in-

ternal game, which is where the next frontier of education is,” said Williams, a former Latin teacher. “Coaching provides her an arena to talk through things she’s thinking about doing, which activities to be involved in, how she should allocate her time, what’s most important to her.” As a former middle school and high school teacher, Williams said he saw “that kids were not getting a lot of essential skills I wish I had gotten, like the ability to understand a default perspective and how to shift that perspective, or to just be aware of what your top three values are, how do you feel about certain relationships and assumptions made in relationships?” The need, for Maggie’s mom, is far simpler: “He’s taking a good thing and making it better. He’s giving her even more tools and making her successful.” Life coaching can lend valuable breathing room for kids from the cheerleading, criticism or advice that parents and therapists might normally provide. “What’s great about the coaching is the problem identification and problem solving comes from person being the coached,” said Sharon Haynes, whose 11-yearold daughter started

meeting with a life coach in Houston after a stressful transition to middle school. “I found myself talking to my daughter ad nauseam and encouraging her and telling her everything was going to be good, but it’s helpful to run through it with somebody else.” Haynes’ daughter, Tuesday, said her coach “has helped me by showing me the ups and downs of different situations and the different perspectives. She helped me discover my little WIIC monster, and that helps me to see that I don’t need to be so nervous and that WIIC makes me worry for no reason.” That’s WIIC, for “What If I Can’t.” A year into life coaching, the freedom to speak freely with Williams is something Maggie still looks forward to. “We can talk about anything,” she said. “It’s just such a better conversation than you can have with someone else. I always walk out of there feeling better. He makes school make sense.” Life coaches, at least 25,000 strong around the globe, are unregulated in the United States, though a nonprofit called the International Coach Federation and other organizations are working to align training and standards. More than half of all life coaches are work-

There has been a growing trend recently of extending the nontraditional help of a life coach to middle and high schoolers. ing in the U.S., according to ICF, but it’s unclear how many take on teens as clients. Some charge by the hour, some have a minimum number of sessions. Prices vary but are comparable to therapy. Many life coaches for pre-teens and teens come from other fields where they’ve worked with kids, including teaching, social work or psychology, said Sandi Lindgren, a social worker and youth coach in Minneapolis. But kids “have to want the coaching and they have to have something that they want to change, want to do differently,” said Lindgren. “It could be something as simple as school or relationships, but it has to come from them.” Not every teen sees the benefits of life coaching. In Chicago, Robin Simborg’s 17-year-old son Jack gave up on his coach after four sessions. “I enjoyed the discussions I had with my life coach and how she made me dig deep and think hard to make connec-

tions,” said Jack, who hopes to move on to a music college from high school and has had a therapist for years to help with attention deficit disorder and other issues. “I also enjoyed how easy it was for me to apply the lessons I learned to my life. However, I did not get as much out of the exercises as I did working with my therapist.” Some life coaches, like Stephanie Sarkis, a therapist and coach in Boca Raton, Fla., specialize in ADD issues. “Just having an impartial third party can really help,” said Sarkis, who works with high school and college students. “When you’re a college student, you want to feel independent. You’re focusing on the present and future.” Among the more practical aspects of her work: helping set up a highly structured schedule broken down into color-coded blocks of 30 minutes the colors denoting specific classes, study times, mee-

tups for social activities and free time. And suggesting non-emergency smartphone notifications be turned off, instead scheduling specific times to check email and social media to avoid the constant distraction. Sarkis also looks at class syllabuses and test schedules, and has her young clients break down project deadlines into smaller tasks, assigning due dates for reporting back to her for each one. “That way there’s an accountability factor,” Sarkis said. All are strategies that could benefit a broader range of students, including Maggie’s 20-year-old brother, Connor. The college junior is pulling Bs and Cs as he pursues a major in communications. He began using Williams after his sister started. “The key aspect that makes him so effective is his ability to observe,” Connor said. “In the end, the process becomes much more than just raising a grade point average.”

ARLO AND JANIS

HOROSCOPE Friday, Nov. 11, 2011 It wouldn’t hurt to spend more time in the next year attempting to find new ways to enhance your material wellbeing as well as your standing in the community. Chances are that you’ll find some ingenious ways to do so. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Should conflicting opinions between you and your mate become a bit trying, remember that minor concessions and a few affectionate hugs could easily restore a common bond. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Some kind of task you take on that you thought would be as easy as 1-2-3 is likely to turn out to be much more difficult. Regroup and try again, but be prepared to take it to 4-5-6. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Generally, you’re pretty good at managing your resources, but this may not be a good day to do so. To be on the safe side, enlist a friend to help keep you in line. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Instead of getting down to business when time means money, you could allow yourself to be dragged off course. Playing catch-up later on may prevent you from accomplishing what you hoped. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — Without thinking, sometimes you can end up being more of a talker than a doer. All your good intentions could go down the drain if you allow this to happen. ARIES (March 21-April 19) — More investigation than you suspect may be needed before you get involved in a new endeavor. Take plenty of time to examine everything that needs checking. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Success is important to you, but it shouldn’t come at all costs. Think of your reputation and how you could possibly alienate others whom you may need down the line. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — Don’t depend too heavily upon chance or luck to achieve your goals; rely only on yourself. Achievement is possible, but you must be consistent, concise and accurate. CANCER (June 21-July 22) — It can always be tempting to blame our mistakes on someone else, but it only makes matters worse in the long run. Fessing up to your errors will win you admirers. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Be wary of jumping to conclusions before you have all the necessary facts. Once all the information gets out in the open, you might have to make an embarrassing apology. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Because of one hasty judgment call, you might spend just as much time placating coworkers as you do trying to be productive. To avoid trouble, think before you act. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — If you allow expediency to govern your actions, any hasty moves could cause you further delays. Careful action brings about desirable results, while erratic ones create havoc. COPYRIGHT 2011 UNITED FEATURE SYNDICATE, INC.

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

RECEIVERS >

< OFFENSIVE LINEMEN

< DEFENSIVE LINEMEN OSU’s John Simon has been dominant in the last three games, totaling five sacks and nine tackles for losses. He has six sacks and 12.5 tackles for losses on the season. Jonathan Hankins has three sacks and eight tackles for losses. Purdue defensive end Kawann Short (12.5 tackles for losses, 3.5 sacks) was a second-team All-Big Ten selection last season. Tackle Bruce Gaston is a two-year starter. Freshman Ryan Russell, one of the Boilermakers’ better pass rushers, was limited last week by a sprained ankle. Advantage: Ohio State

< LINEBACKERS

< RUNNING BACKS Dan Herron has run for more than 100 yards in each of the last three games and Carlos Hyde went over 100 yards for the second time this season when Ohio State beat Indiana 34-20 last Saturday. Jordan Hall’s ankle sprain, which kept him on the sidelines last week, might still be a problem this week. For Purdue, Ralph Bolden, who missed last season with a knee injury, and junior college transfer Akeem Shavers share the tailback position. Bolden (469 yards) and Shavers (338 yards) both average 4.6 yards per carry. Advantage: Ohio State

< DEFENSIVE BACKS Turnovers have been an emphasis from Day One for Ohio State coach Luke Fickell. OSU’s 10 interceptions ranks third in the Big Ten, but Fickell says the Buckeyes need to do more. Cornerback Bradley Roby has three interceptions to lead OSU. Purdue sophomore cornerback Ricardo Allen has three interceptions this season and six in his career. He has taken three of the interceptions back for touchdowns, including one this season. Advantage: Ohio State

SPECIAL TEAMS > Ohio State fans got nervous when kicker Drew Basil missed his first two kicks this season after going 0 for 2 last year. But Basil has hit 12 in a row since then. Carson Wiggs, who kicked a 55-yard field goal in Purdue’s upset of Ohio State in 2009, is 10 of 15 on field goals this season. Punter Cody Webster leads the Big Ten at 45.5 yards a kick. Freshman Raheem Mostert is second in the Big Ten in kickoff returns (31.6 yards per return). Advantage: Purdue

Paterno’s exit like other icons The three most earth-shaking firings in the Big Ten in the last 50 years have to be Ohio State firing football coach Woody Hayes in 1978, Indiana terminating men’s basketball coach Bobby Knight in 2000 and Wednesday night’s ousting of football coach Joe Paterno in a house cleaning that also took down the president at Penn State. All three coaches were iconic figures who had spent several decades in their jobs. All three had become, for good or ill, the face of their universities to many people. They were legends. And all three did themselves in. Hayes and Knight cost themselves their jobs with their inability to control their tempers. But it was different with Paterno. His inaction, or maybe more precisely doing less than he should have, cost him a job he had held for 46 years. Paterno, who will be 85 years old next month, apparently learned at least the broad outline of an incident in which his longtime defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky allegedly sexually abused a child in 2002. His failure to do anything beyond reporting it to his athletic director led to his demise. In 46 years at Penn State, Paterno must have made thousands of decisions, maybe hundreds of thousands. But his career and at least part of his legacy came down to one bad decision. In all three of those firings -- and in the forced resignation of Jim Tressel at Ohio State earlier this year-- there came a point where the damage to the images of the universities became so great that it became inevitable the coaches would not survive the controversies swirling around them. Penn State, which had happily allowed Paterno to be the face of the university for so many years, decided it no longer could affort to be part of that bargain. It will be strange to see Penn State take the field on Saturday against Nebraska without Paterno, just as it will be odd not to see him at Ohio Stadium next Saturday.

Contain Arledge, Adena BY COLIN FOSTER Ohio Community Media

FAIRBORN — Heading into the state semifinals game against Adena, Miami East coach John Cash knew that stopping Adena’s Olivia Arledge was going to be a tall task — with emphasis on the word tall. And while the Vikings may not have limited her as much as they wanted to, it was still enough to keep the Warriors’ most dangerous weapon from hurting them enough to keep them out of the Division III state title match as Miami East was able to win the state semifiSTUMPER nal matchup in four Thursday at Wright State University’s Nutter Center. “I don’t know that we conWhat is the tained her.

FAIRBORN — The Miami East Vikings may be the new kids on the block. But they’re already setting up a longterm residence. Even though it was their first time ever in the Division III state semifinal round Thursday at Wright State University’s Nutter Center, and even though early on the team consisting of a vast majority of underclassmen looked like a group of wide-eyed young pups for the first time this season, by the end of the match the Vikings were all playing like savvy, grizzled, determined veterans, holding on for a four-game victory, 25-21, 25-21, 17-25, 2522 over Adena — and, most importantly, earning the right to play for the state championship. “When you get to this point, it’s all about grunting it out,” Miami East coach John Cash said. “This was a just-get-through-it match. “Both teams were ready to play. Adena’s tradition here is pretty rich. They’ve been here before, and we knew they weren’t going to come in rattled. We were a little anxious after five days off. We’d like to play tomorrow if we could.” The Vikings (28-1) will have to wait one more day than that, though, as they will face Gates Mills Gilmour Academy — last year’s state runner-up and a winner over Columbus Bishop Ready Thursday in three — at 11 a.m. Saturday at the Nutter Center. It was the eighth trip for Adena (24-4) to the state tournament, including most recently a runner-up finish in 2009.

reer at possibly Capital or Otterbein — entered the match a total of 388 kills, which was why stopping her was one of keys for East. But if any team was going to match up against Adena, it was Miami East — with five girls listed over 6-foot. Arledge showed why she was on East’s radar after recording six kills in a Game 1 loss, and she racked up four more kills in Game 2. With the score knotted at 13-13 in Game 2, East went on a 4-0 run to make it 1713, with Arledge hitting the ball out of bounds on two kill attempts during that span. The Vikings never trailed again in that game. After Adena won Game 3, the Vikings came out sharp in the next one, building a 17-10 lead at one point … before Arledge led the Adena comeback, with her 20th kill of the match and cutting the deficit to 17-14. But as the game wore on, the Vikings’ height up front proved to give Arledge problems. That became evident late in Game 4, as two errors by Arledge allowed East to escape with the win. Sam Cash blocked Arledge’s spike attempt to give the Vikings a 24-22 lead, then Arledge was set up for a kill but missed long to give the Vikings the game and match. “She’s tough,” Cash said. “We wanted her to hit it from See EAST/Page 15

Piqua has successful basketball season Indians team lacked public support in 8-3-1 campaign West Milton is next on the schedule. “The second game of the Basket Ball season will be held in St. George Hall on Friday night when the Piqua H.S. plays the West Milton H.S. “On account of the heavy expense of last week’s game the receipts were not sufficient to cover the expenses and the management respectfully solicits the patronage of the public. “The record that P.H.S. has made in athletics has been wonderful when the facts are considered. The total number of boys in school being about one hundred and twenty five and all teams are picked from that number. “That we are to compete with teams from schools exceeding over five hundred boys is not only a fact but the records show that in the last five years not one game of Basket Ball has been lost to an opposing High school team. Faulte’s orchestra will furnish good music before the game and between the halves.” “West Milton high school Basketball team was defeated last night by P.H.S. by the close margin of one point, 33 to 32. The game was bitterly fought and every inch of the floor was contested for by strategy or extreme roughness. “From the time the referee’s whistle blew, at the start of the game, West Milton’s playing was characterized by roughness. This continued for a few minutes of play and the officials seemed utterly unable to prevent it. “Piqua did not at once start to roughing it with the visitors, but after a time it became, they thought, necessary for them to indulge in a little rough work to hold their own. “Many arguments resulted and delays were frequent. The visitors seemed determined to win the game by either science, argument or playing roughly. “Skating was enjoyed after the game. The West Milton referee was the subject of much criticism and really did make some ‘wide’ decisions.” Before the next game with Hamilton, the Piqua fans are made aware of attendance problems. “The Piqua High school Basket Ball team journeyed to Hamilton this afternoon to meet the strong High school team of that place and it should be one of the hardest fought games of the season. “The support of the home team by the public has not been nearly as good as it ought to be and unless attendance improves, it is probable that the sport will be discontinued for the rest of the season. “This would be too bad, and if it is done, it will be the first time in the history of P.H.S. that such a thing has occurred. “The boys give a good exhibition of skill and their efforts should at least be rewarded by good attendance.” “P.H.S. defeated Hamilton high school at Hamilton last night by the decisive score of 49-27. The game was one of the cleanest fought contests that has been seen in this part of the state this season. “Each team worked hard for victory but the better five won and while Hamilton felt keenly the defeat they were satisfied that Piqua won, only by the fairest of methods and were entitled to the victory. “The Hamilton team

and their associates treated the local team with due courtesy and without any of the serious arguments that are so detrimental to the basket ball game.” Without explanation, the next opponent was a local church team. “P.H.S. basket ball team easily defeated the Grace Church team last night at the Y.M.C.A. gymnasium by the overwhelming score of 81 to 5. The high school team went into the game for all there was in it and tried to see how high they could run up the score. “The attendance was good considering the extremely bad weather and some lovely rooting was done by admirers of both the teams.” For the second time in two weeks, Hamilton was the opponent. “The so called strong Hamilton basket ball team was easily defeated last night in St. George Hall by the local High school team. “The final score was 5717. It did not seem possible that the team playing on the floor was the one that gave Piqua the hardest game of the season some time ago. The team played more like a second team to a Y.M.C.A. class. “Whatever was the matter with the players we do not know, but it is certain that they had a big case of stage fright or were out of form. “The crowd was very impartial in their rooting, and gave the visitors encouragement at every turn, but this was useless. “The crowd was not what it ought to have been although very fair. The singing of the High school students between the halves was a most enjoyable feature of the game. “The boys sing very well and should get together and practice more as they have some excellent material to develop a glee club from.” In a bizarre finish, Piqua tangles with the Knights of St. George basketball team from Dayton. “When the Knights of St. George Basket Ball team of Dayton came up to

Piqua last night to meet the P.H.S. boys they expected an easy victory as they are a team with a list of victories to their credit any team might well be proud of. “They found their opponents men who made them play their best and then the best they could do was to tie the score after as fast and exciting a game as was ever played in Piqua. “At the end of the first half the score read Piqua 18, Dayton 8. When the whistle blew for the end of the last half Dayton 18, and Piqua 8. “It was decided to play the game off and the ball was put in play. Pflaum of Dayton got it and threw it into the basket. “This would have settled that game if it had counted but the man had one foot on the west line and Referee Crawford blew his whistle. “The men of both teams had started to leave the floor as soon as the ball hit the basket and as the spectators were also going out, they did not hear the whistle. Dr. Crawford went to the dressing room and asked the men to come back but the Dayton team refused to do this and the matter was left until this morning when member of both teams met at Dr. Crawfords office and talked the subject over. “The Dayton teams representatives were very fair and courteous and it was decided to call the game of last night a tie and play it off soon. The next game will be played either on the 19th or 26th of March in Piqua. “The action of the Dayton team in accepting the decision of the referee without argument shows them to be true sportsmen and men who play for the love of the game as well as to win. “Chamberlain, one of the Piqua players asked that the Piqua rooters not cheer him until he had made the basket when he is trying to throw a foul goal, wait until he has done it. The cheering beforehand seems to ‘rattle’ him.” Still undefeated, but with a tie on their record, it is time to visit Lima. “The P.H.S. basket ball team once more proved their superiority when they defeated Lima H.S. last night at the Auditorium to the tune of 37 to 23. “The floor was very slippery and the Piqua boys

found it hard to keep their feet, especially in the first half, while the Lima boys were equipped with suction shoes. “In the second half, however, the local boys struck their game and nothing short of a regiment could stop them.” The Lima Gazette says: “Piqua’s official was just little too officious, or rather unobservant of the progress of the game, calling foul after foul that were not fouls and forthwith there was wrangling and the final producing of the rule books which caused “Doc” Crawford to back up and apologize for what he had done. “This caused a delay in the progress of the game and irritated the crowd.’ This is entirely wrong as there was no wrangling or producing of the rule book and no delay expect when Brunstein took time out twice on a fall on the floor and when Brown took time to repair his shirt which was torn in the game. “Dancing was enjoyed after the game.” The undefeated season was about to come to end when Piqua traveled to Wapakoneta. “P.H.S. met her first defeat of the season at the hands of Wapakoneta high school last night in that city by the score of 23-17. “The game resembled foot ball more than any other game. It is the way the Wapakoneta team is used to playing, they are readily excusable as Piqua lost, there is no kick coming from the local team whatever. “The game was played in the city hall, which is small and was crowded. The Piquads were met at the traction station by the Wapakoneta high school band, and they gave the team a rousing welcome. “Good spirit was manifested by the people who seemed to want to do all in their power to please the Piqua visitors. “The band was present at the game and rendered good music, much to the satisfaction of all present.” Next was a rematch with the Knights of St. George of Dayton. “What is considered will be the best game of the season will be played tonight at St. George Hall. The strong and undefeated Knights of St. George of Dayton will be the local team’s opponents and they say that they will surely win. P.H.S. of course has something to say in the matter. If St.

George’s team wins, it will be only through the best play. It will be remembered that two weeks ago this team and Piqua played a tie game. “There is not one chance in a hundred that a tie will occur again tonight. It is up to either one of the other teams to lose. Every loyal rooter should be out and root for the home team. “Also help to remove the basket ball debt for this season and give the team an opportunity to close the scheduled games with a clean financial record. Remember P.H.S. has only lost one game in four years. Good music will be provided during the evening.” “Another tie was the result of last night’s game with the St. George Basket Ball Team of Dayton. singular coinciThe dence—two teams playing two tie games with each other in succession, would not happen once out of a hundred times, but, it was a fact this time. “When it came to down right staying qualities and endurance, Piqua led their opponents with such vigor that several times the visitors restored to strategies in order to give their players time to get rest. “If these delays had not been permitted, or at least likely had not happened, it is very likely the Daytonians would have been defeated by a good decisive score. “At the end of the game the crowd thought the tie game would complete the night, but the referee’s whistle called them back. The two captains of the teams had decided to play off the tie at once. The rule under a condition of this kind is that the team that makes the first goal wins the game. “Imagine the excitement that prevailed in the hall, when the ball was again put into play. This time it was not to stop until someone had won. Hunter at center touched the ball in the toss-up and sent it against the south wall. “Chamberlain recovered it and shot at the basket but missed. He recovered it again, and the ball was lingering around the top, and perilously close to the edge, it looked longingly down into the depths, and with the sighs of every P.H.S. student urging it downward, it dropped gracefully into the basket for the 26 – 24 See HISTORY/Page 15

The men still in school who played on the team last year are : Yenney, captain of this year’s team; Chamberlain, a star at making goals; Meeker, the big center of this year’s football team and several others who played in one of more games last year and showed great form and promise for the season. “Captain Yenney is confident of having a team that P.H.S. will be proud of. He hopes to keep the standard of former P.H.S. teams before his men and thus keep them on edge during the season so they can look back at the end, knowing they have not lowered the standard of old Piqua Hi. “The schedule this year is a hard one and contains some of the best High school teams to be had. St. Mary’s will also be played this year and a game is almost sure to be arranged between the Columbus Deaf College, and the local team to be played here in the first part of the season. “Practice is to start as soon as the football season ends as most on the football team play basket ball the team is sure to round into form before many days pass and then watch them make a winning season. “The writer is not afraid to use ‘is’ instead of ‘will be’, because not a ‘quitter’ can be found on the team. They are all ‘stickers.’ A few words of praise of the spirit of P.H.S. athletes: “The boys of the local teams have never been accused of having a yellow streak or in other words, nerve, have they shown cowardice in facing the ‘music’ that is found in all games. “Many a time team representing P.H.S. has found itself looking certain defeat in the face only to come back with that bulldog spirit for which Yale is noted and turned what looked like defeat into victory. “That spirit and play are for the sake of the sport, not alone to win games, counts.” The Columbus Deaf Mutes were the first opponents of the 1909 season. “The P.H.S. will present a strong line-up against the Columbus Deaf Mutes in the game Friday. The boys have been practicing since December 1st, are in excellent condition and expect to win to make the deaf mutes go south. This is one of the strongest combinations that P.H.S. has had for years and a winning season is looked for.” “P.H.S. defeated the Deaf and Dumb Mute team of Columbus, Ohio at the Lyric Rink last night by the score of 32-22. The game marked the opening of the ’09 season for the local team and a good start was made, both financially and otherwise. “The Mutes have a splendid team and handicapped by the loss of both speech and hearing they played a remarkable game. “They had just returned from a holiday vacation which did not help their condition any. Piqua surely opened her season auspiciously and may not feel the sting of defeat throughout the entire ’09.”

East Continued from page 15 her left. Its not as driven a ball. We felt like we could win 60 percent of the points if we made her do that. We won just enough to scrap points out.” Arledge ended the match with 20 kills, despite being set up 61 times by her teammates. She also was forced into 12 errors, giving her an attack percentage of 13.1 percent. The Vikings will face off against some size in the state title game against Gilmour Academy. Gilmour has three girls over 6-foot, with 6-3 sophomore Jessica Janota leading the team (276 kills). ■ Quick-Hitter There was a play in the Miami East repertoire that Adena couldn’t stop. It was the quick-hitter. Miami East scored on 14 out of 19 on quick hits, with the setters and mid-

dles timing it just right so that the ball was still on its way up when the swing sent it down. Leah Dunivan tallied the majority of scores on the play, Abby Cash and Ashley Current also knocked over a few for points, as well. “We knew what Dunivan was going to do. We just couldn’t stop it,” Smith said. “We just haven’t seen anything like that all year. We just weren’t ready for that defensively. We couldn’t get to our spots on time to dig them up.” “She was a stud,” Cash said of Dunivan. “We’ve been working on a new swing recently, and it worked pretty well.” The Warriors tried to emulate the play a few times, as well, but couldn’t get their timing right. ■ Rich Tradition Adena is a two-time state champion in volleyball, winning back-to-back

title’s in 1975 and 1976 — the first two years the tournament was held. Since then, the Warriors have never won another state title, although they did come close a few times. Adena was the state runner-up in 1993 and 2009, and in total, the school has made state appearances eight times. “Adena’s tradition here is pretty rich. They’ve been here before,” Cash said. The Vikings, however, were one of two teams making their first-ever appearance at the state tournament. The other, Columbus Bishop Ready, was not as fortunate, falling to four-time state qualifier and last year’s state runner-up Gilmour Academy in three. Miami East already defeated the defending state champion — Bishop Fenwick — in the regional final.

“This was all in the game, however, and no kicking will be heard at this end of the line.” As the season winds down, Piqua entertains Lima. “Lima High School was defeated last night at St. George Hall by P.H.S. by the decisive score of 47-14. “The game was Piqua’s from the very start and particularly in the first half when the home team played rings around the victors. “The game was not very exciting from the standpoint of the spectator. At times it lagged, and the playing was listless. The score tells all about the game. “It was plainly a case of a team being so far outclassed by the home team that the game was only a farce and the local players literally played with the visitors as a cat would a mouse.” The season finale finds Bethel coming to Piqua. “P.H.S. will play the concluding game of the season at St. George Hall Friday night. “Bethel High School will be the opponents of the home team. While it is expected that the visitors will be beaten, the game should attract many for the reason that it is the last opportunity of seeing this year’s star team in a game. “The attendance at the game is not what it should be this year, and the treasury box will be amply large enough to hold all

the surplus money that is left over after the manifold expenses are deducted from the account.” “Bethel High school, a heretofore little talked of Basket ball team, journeyed to this city last night and coolly defeated P.H.S. by a margin of one point. “The score was 30-29. Bethel was not supposed to have a team knowing hardly the first principles of basket ball but nevertheless they demonstrated themselves to be in an all together class, and instead of the local team making sport of them, as everyone supposed they would. “Bethel deliberately took the lead early in the game and held the envied position until the ‘bitter end.’ In spite of the super human efforts of the local team, Bethel won her game by one point, and the closing argument for the season of ‘09’ was given to the village team from a place called Bethel, and they won by good work and clean playing all the time.” The 1909 basketball season ends with 8 wins, 3 losses and a tie.

But the Vikings had simply worked to hard to let their season end. “This was our goal all along,” Cash said. “We thought we came up short last year (losing in the sectional final). We thought we should have been in the regional final then battling for the right to be here. But nothing makes you hungrier than a loss. These girls hate losing more than they like winning. “Our practices are pretty intense. It all depends on how much effort you put into it. We grade everything we do, and these kids are a lot tougher on themselves than I could ever be on them.” Even after the intense and emotional match, though, they kept things light-hearted. “We’ve put up with him for the entire season. We want to win,” junior captain Abby Cash said with a laugh and a nudge the coach’s way. “That intensity we have in practice definitely translates into our games.” And even though the Vikings kept their trademark balance intact with six players with five kills or more offensively, it was Leah Dunivan they went to whenever they needed a score. The junior captain finished with a team-high 12 kills and added an ace, a block and two digs. Five of Dunivan’s kills came in the decisive fourth game — including one that broke a 22-22 tie and kicked off Miami East’s three-point run to close out the match. “She was a stud,” John Cash said. “In the first set, we noticed they were soloblocking her every time we set her, so I told my

setters to get her the ball every chance they got.” Abby Cash did a bit of everything, adding 10 kills, 18 assists, three aces and 24 digs, while Sam Cash had seven kills, a team-high 24 assists, an ace, eight digs and a critical block that made the score 24-22 in the fourth game. An error by Adena’s leading hitter, Olivia Arledge, put an end to the match. Kelsey Vanchure — the team’s lone senior — had nine kills and came up particularly clutch in the first two games. After a Dunivan kill made it 2220 in the first game, Vanchure put down a pair of consecutive kills to give the Vikings game point. Arledge ended the run with a kill but had an error on the next point to give the Vikings the game. And after a Miami East service error made the score 22-21 Vikings in the second game, Vanchure again scored their 23rd and 24th points on kills, and an ace by Abby Cash put Miami East one game away from the state final. But Adena — which lost the first two games of its regional final matchup only to come back and win in five — wasn’t done. After the Vikings built a 9-5 lead, the Warriors went on an eight-point run as Michelle Ackley served seven straight points to make it 13-9. And after a kill by Ashley Current (five kills, two blocks) brought Miami East back within two at 18-16, Ackley had four more consecutive serves during a five-point run that made it 23-16 as the Vikings couldn’t put together a good offensive set on her serves. Orledge put down a kill

to give the Warriors the game and hold off elimination. “Ball control and attitude,” John Cash said when asked what changed in the third game. “Serve and ball control are the two key parts of everything you do. If you don’t have ball control, it’s hard to run your offense.” The Warriors showed more of that come-frombehind attitude in Game 4. The Vikings held a 1710 lead at one point — which is the score Miami East trailed by against Fenwick in one game of their regional final matchup before coming back to win it — but Adena scored five in a row to cut the lead to two, eventually took a 20-19 lead and held the advantage as late as 21-20 before Miami East closed it out. “You have to face adversity sometimes,” Dunivan said. “We just decided to be more aggressive,” Abby Cash said. “In the third game, we started getting a little lazy and just sending it back over to them. We needed to be more aggressive.” “We’d been there before,” John Cash said. “We were up big on St. Henry in the second set and lost that set before beating them in three. When you get to this point, you’ve just got to grind it out.” Angie Mack added five kills, an assist, two aces and 22 digs, Allison Morrett led the defense with 32 digs and had an ace and Allie Millhouse had a kill, an ace and 10 digs. “It was a good win. Every win is a good win,” John Cash said. “We earned it today, and we’ll have to earn it on Saturday.”

TODAY!

History victory. “Chamberlain, who won the game, was picked up and carried over the floor of the hall by his enthusiastic comrades. It is said by experts that the game was the best that had ever been played in this city. It certainly did not look last night as if late hours and smoking had put P.H.S. out of form. “Men who sit up nights and smoke to excess cannot put up the kind of baskets the team did last night.” Piqua travels to Dayton to take on the St. Mary’s Institute. “The Piqua High School Basket Ball team journeyed to Dayton last night and played the strong St. Mary’ s Institute team. “They were defeated by the score of 39 to 32. The game was played in the Institute Hall and was witnessed by a large crowd. Piqua was liberally represented at the game, and a solid car load of rooters accompanied the team from here. “Most of the rooters left at half past six o’clock but the team went at half past four in order to give the players a good rest before the game. “Piqua seemed shattered and the players failed to get in that good team work that always characterized them in other games. “The Dayton Referee seemed to strive his utmost to find Piqua fouling, but not nearly so hard to see any of Dayton’s faults.

Another Daly blow up in Australia Golfer pumps seven balls in the water, walks off the course SYDNEY (AP) — Hunter Mahan knew what was coming. Anyone who has watched John Daly lose patience, lose hope and eventually lose his temper should not have been surprised. He turned a bad break into something much worse, then walked off the golf course at the Australian Open. It wasn't the first time. It might be the last. Not long after Daly withdrew Thursday, the PGA of Australia said he

no longer was welcome in two weeks for the Australian PGA Championship. Golf Australia's director of tournaments, Trevor Herden, called him "unprofessional" and said while the Australian Open loves to have major champions in the field, "I would say this is the last time we will see John Daly." Mahan was walking down the 11th fairway at The Lakes, a 577-yard hole that hugs the waters, when he looked back to see Daly pump two shots

into the water while trying to reach the green. Then came a third. And a fourth. And a fifth. A sixth. A seventh. "I was thinking of Bay Hill when he dumped a bunch in the water," Mahan said. Mahan was still a teenager in Dallas in 1998 when Daly hit six balls into the water on the sixth hole at Bay Hill in the final round and made an 18, the highest score he has recorded. The only thing that

kept Daly from breaking his record at the Australian Open was that Daly ran out of balls. He would have been playing his 16th shot. Instead, he motioned to Mahan and Craig Parry, handed over his scorecard and stormed off the course. "Once I saw two go in, I think the effort went down pretty fast," Mahan said. "I thought that's what we were going to see. And we did." Daly was 7-over par

through 10 holes. His career scorecard looks even worse, especially Down Under. Six months after winning his first major in the 1991 PGA Championship at Crooked Stick, Daly was disqualified from the Australian Masters for failing to sign his card after an 81 in the second round. Five years later, he shot an 83 in the third round of the Heineken Classic and played the final round in 2 hours, 10 minutes, angering tourna-

ment officials who paid a big appearance fee. Then came the Australian PGA in 2002, when he was so disgusted with a triple bogey and a 78, he threw his putter into the lake on the 18th green and was fined $5,600. He also had to write an apology to a tour official he was said to have abused. That's just Australia. His rap sheet is worse in the United States, where Daly had his "Tin Cup" moment at Bay Hill.
