Opposition on agenda Piqua leaders against Kasich tax collection BY BETHANY J. ROYER Staff Writer broyer@dailycall.com PIQUA — An emergency opposition will cap Tuesday’s commission meeting that will otherwise begin on a positive for temporary, seasonal and part-time minimum wage city employees who will receive a 40 cent raise. This increase follows the state-wide minimum wage increase from $7.40 an hour to $7.70 that will begin at the first of the year. Also on the agenda will be a minor update to non-union employees health insurance for the 2012 year that will retain the 2011 employee premium contributions, the HRA (health reimbursement account) and HSA (health savings account) amounts. New year appropriations will also be discussed, as will the
issue and sale of bonds for the construction costs to sidewalks, curbs and gutters on Broadway in 2010. Along with a resolution to apply for Brownfield funds from the United States Environmental Protection Agency. Meanwhile, new city manager Gary Huff will seek appointment to the governing board of the Piqua Improvement Corporation and the Community Diversity Committee, with Daniel J. Henthorn to be appointed to the Board of Zoning Appeals. The emergency opposition comes from Ohio Governor John Kasich and his administration having proposed a take-over of municipal income tax collection. The amendment would give collective powers to either a state agency or a third-party. Already faced with the challenge of state funding cuts for 2011 and more into the new year
officials are concerned that this potential new legislation will further reduce city revenue. A reduction that could affect the ability to pay for police, fire, EMS, public works, roadway maintenance and recreation programs. This emergency resolution not only declares city leader’s strong opposition to the take-over, but urges Kasich and state legislators to reject the amendment so that officials may preserve the public peace, health, safety and welfare of the city and citizens. Commission meetings are held every first and third Tuesday of the month at 7:30 p.m. at the commission chamber on the second floor of the Government Municipal Complex. The public is invited and encouraged to attend. Meeting agendas are available both online at www.piquaoh.org and at the complex.

ROYER Staff Writer broyer@dailycall.com PIQUA — Fall is breeding season for Ohio deer which means more mobility on their part and thus a higher probablity of deervehicle collisions on our part. According to the Ohio Department of Public Safety or ODPS there were 4 fatalities and 934 injuries in 2010 resulting from deer-vehicle accidents. These numbers are down slightly from 2009 with 4 fatalities but 1,004 injuries.

HeALthy Is Cool! The Heart, Circulatory & Cardiovascular Systems The heart, veins and blood vessels are the main parts of the cardiovascular system. Your heart is a strong muscular pump that works day and night to send blood around your entire body. The circulatory system is a group of organs that carries nutrients, oxygen and other important materials to all the cells in your body. Your blood circulates throughout your body, like a river, through blood vessels attached to your heart. Those that carry blood away from your heart are called arteries, and the ones that carry blood back to your heart are call veins.
Your heart is divided into two halves, call chambers. The top chamber, called the atrium, collects blood from the veins. The bottom chamber, called the ventricle, pumps blood into the arteries, helping to refuel your body. When you take a deep breath, the air travels directly to your lungs. Blood is pumped from your heart to your lungs, and the oxygen (from the breath you just took) mixes with it. The blood then travels to your heart, where it is pumped back through your body, delivering oxygen and nutrients to your cells while fighting germs and removing carbon dioxide and waste.

Each time your heart beats, it heart fills with blood. It tightens and releases, pushing the blood out. When your heart makes this movement, it’s called a contraction. Make a fist with your hand and squeeze it, release and squeeze again. This is a similar motion to the one your heart makes. Just like any other machine, the heart can become broken or need to be fixed. That’s why it’s important to know how your heart works; so you can do your part to keep it healthy and strong. Do you ever feel your heart racing or feel out of breath? This is your body signaling that it needs more oxygen. The heart pumps faster to supply your body with what it needs. Kids ages 6-15 have a normal resting heart rate of 70-100 beats per minute.

Continued from page 1 2,635 crashes for the county during 2010. While damages can vary according to speed, vehicle make and area of impact the Insurance Information Institute states that deer-vehicle collisions average $3,100 in claims across the country, with 23,315 deer-vehicle collisions in 2010 costing Americans $72.2 million in damages. The Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) estimates the current deer population at 750,000, same as 2010 but up from a 2009 estimate of 650,000.
So what can one do to protect not only their vehicle but themselves? The Insurance Information Institute offers the following guidelines: • Watch for deer-crossing signs and drive with extreme caution at sensible speeds • Where there’s one deer, there’s probably more • Watch for deer especially at dawn and after sunset • After dark, use highbeams when there isn’t oncoming traffic • Always wear your safety belt • Don’t swerve to avoid striking a deer
Path Continued from page 1 so I put my college degree on hold.” In 1980, she joined the work force and took a position as secretary to Piqua High School athletic director Ed Purk. “Mr. Purk had been my health teacher in high school, so he knew the kind of person I was when he hired me,” she said. “It was a wonderful 12 ½ years. Ed did everything with a total commitment and integrity. I learned so much from him.” When Purk retired, Henkaline pondered a return to college to complete her degree. “Mr. Purk always encouraged me to go back to school,” she said. “Our youngest daughter entered high school, and it was the perfect time for me to return to college.” She earned her bachelor’s of education degree from Wittenberg in 1995. Later, she received a master’s degree in education from Wright State University. Henkaline did her student teaching in language arts and math with the late Ginny James and Elly Snapp at Wilder Junior High. After graduation, Henkaline was hired by Piqua City Schools and spent two years teaching 7th grade health and science at Wilder. “It wasn’t the normal path to take to become a teacher,” she said. “On my first day of school as a rookie teacher, I was 38 years old.” “With all my life experiences up to that time including raising a family and working in a school setting, I felt ready and good about my new career,” she said. “I knew I was in the right place doing what I was

meant to do.” In 1999, the junior high opened in the new building, and by that time, Henkaline had switched to math. Today, Henkaline teaches Math 7 and Pre-Algebra. “I was fortunate to have Elly Snapp as a mentor when I started,” Henkaline said. “She taught me how to teach math to junior high students. I am the math teacher I am today because of Elly.” And, that is a very successful math teacher. Henkaline was named Piqua City Schools Teacher of the Year for the 2005-2006 school year. “I love working with this age group,” Henkaline said. “They are very impressionable, and I can make a huge difference in their lives, academically and personally.” “I have been blessed to have had excellent educators and mentors in my life,” she said. “Hopefully, I am paying those blessings forward.” Henkaline gives credit to her colleagues at the junior high. “I work with an amazing staff, and I do not view them merely as co-workers. They have become my friends.” Henkaline and her husband Ken, a hair stylist who owns the Hair Studio on High, have been married 30 years. They have two sons and two daughters. Heather Gable is married and living in Asheville, N.C., Lindsay Dobucki is married and expecting her first child in Baltimore, Md. Son Heath is married and living in Grove City. And, son Mark Matthews is married and living in Greenville, S.C. There are five grandchildren with another on the way. “Our favorite vacation spot used to be Gatlinburg,” Julie said. “Now, it is wherever our kids and grandkids live. My new favorite pastime is being Grammy to our little ones.”

Gingrich tries to get break in GOP races Commentary BY THOMAS BEAUMONT WASHNGTON (AP) — Mitt Romney chugged ahead Thursday as the conservative-fueled drive to deny him the Republican presidential nomination reached a difficult new phase: Once-surging rivals Rick Perry and Herman Cain scrambled to control serious damage, while an old face sought new ways to exploit their problems. Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich could emerge as the newest hope for conservative activists who doubt Romney’s commitment to their priorities. But Gingrich trails Romney and others in organizing in key states such as Iowa. And he will have to prove that his long and sometimes troubled political history can withstand closer scrutiny. Meanwhile, Texas Gov. Perry rearranged his schedule Thursday to try to mitigate a disastrous debate moment, in which he could not remember the third federal agency he has vowed to abolish. Perry canceled a Tennessee fundraiser to appear on several TV networks and the David Letterman show, pledging to stay in the race. He repeatedly said he “stepped in it” at the Wednesday night debate but declared in an interview, “This ain’t a day for quitting nothing.” For Cain, the former pizza company executive, it was day 11 of trying to get beyond sexual harassment accusations leveled against him by four women, two of whom received cash settlements from a trade association Cain once headed. Facing voters for the first time since the allegations emerged, Cain met with tea party groups in Michigan, hoping the friendly settings would preserve the lofty perch he enjoyed in GOP polls two weeks ago. “How you beat Obama? Beat him with a Cain!” he told one supporter at a crowded diner in Ypsilanti. The crowd cheered. He is airing his first TV ad in Iowa, and he has hired a new lawyer who is warning women they will be scrutinized for any charges made against the candidate. Late Thursday word came that attempts to organize a joint news conference with the four women alleging Cain harassed them had fallen apart. Joel Bennett, the attorney for Karen Kraushaar, said his client had decided not to hold the news conference “unless and until the other women come forward and wish to participate.” Romney, the former Massachusetts governor who recently filmed a TV ad in Iowa, blasted President Barack Obama’s Iran policy in a Wall Street Journal opinion piece Thursday. His supporters quietly reveled in the good fortune of Perry’s and Cain’s woes. With the Iowa caucus set for Jan. 3, and the New Hampshire primary a week after that, Romney is looking strong, but he’s hardly home free. Many conservatives still resent his past support of legalized abortion and gay rights, and his requirement that all Massachusetts residents obtain health insurance. But they have failed to coalesce around a single alternative. Rep. Michele Bachmann briefly topped the polls, followed by Perry and then Cain. It’s unclear whether Cain can hold his position. Some Iowa Republicans hope former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum, who emphasizes social conservative issues such as abortion and gay rights, can make a move. He has visited all 99 Iowa counties and aired radio commercials.

Instead, Pawlenty is at home, having lent of “Obamneycare.” Pawlenty coined quit immediately after finishing third in the word during an appearance on “Fox the Aug. 13 Ames, Iowa, Republican News Sunday” on June 12 and then straw poll.

To the Editor: With Veterans Day having just passed, I want to offer this thought about the Miami County men who perished in World War II. One third of those killed are either listed as missing or are buried in an American Military cemetery on foreign soil. That are 69 men who never returned to American soil. Those resting places include Lorraine American Cemetery, St. Avold, France, Luxembourg American Cemetery, Luxembourg City, LuxemHonolulu bourg, Memorial, Honolulu, Hawaii, Henri-Chapelle American Cemetery, Henri-Chapelle, Belgium, American Normandy Cemetery, Colleville-surMer, France, Sicily-Rome American Cemetery, Nettuno, Italy, Brittany American Cemetery, St. James, France; Manila American Cemetery, Manila, Philippines, Netherlands American Cemetery, Margraten, Epinal Netherlands, American Cemetery, Epinal, France, Ardennes American Cemetery, Neupre, Belgium; Florence American Cemetery, Florence, Italy, Cambridge American Cemetery, Cambridge, England, North Africa American Cemetery, Carthage, Tunisia. The youngest from this county was just 17 and the oldest was 30 years old. Their stories will never be fully known; their sacrifice will never be forgotten.

DEAR ABBY: Sept. 11 was the 10th birthday of our neighbors’ little girl, “Megan.” At church that day there was a lovely memorial prayer for the victims of 9/11, but no mention of Megan’s birthday among the other special occasions of the week. Megan’s family went to the cemetery, put flowers on the memorial there and then went home. There was no party or cake for Megan. When I took over a card and a small gift, her mom thanked me but said the day was too sad for Megan to celebrate her birthday. She said they had never done so, not even on an alternate date. I don’t know this family very well. They’re new to the neighborhood. But I was flabbergasted that they would act this way. When I asked about the birthdays of the other family members, I was told that since none of them fall on a “bad day” they are celebrated with parties, gifts and everything. Megan was allowed to accept my gift and thanked me, but her mom made it clear this was to be an exception to the rule. Abby, what gives? — COMPLETELY BAFFLED IN WYOMING DEAR COMPLETELY BAFFLED: I have no idea. That family’s behavior is bizarre. What could possibly be gained by punishing a child for being born on a particular day? What you have described isn’t respect for a day that was tragic for our country; it is cruelty to an innocent child. DEAR ABBY: My wife and I disagree about what we should do on our date nights away from our daughters. She’s nine years younger than I am. I don’t feel comfortable going to dance clubs. I don’t like crowds, fighting to get the bartender’s attention for a drink or dancing with 25-yearolds. I’d prefer listening to live music, staying home and enjoying an empty house or going somewhere quiet for dinner. My wife thinks what I like is “boring” and this is creating issues in our marriage. I want her to be happy and for both of us to enjoy each other’s company. We’re having a difficult

The first is to take turns choosing what you’ll do on your date nights, so that you both have some of what you want. The second is to find some new activities you can enjoy as a couple. Shared interests will help you grow together. DEAR ABBY: A woman at work is having a baby. I didn’t get around to contributing to her group gift.

Not contributing because it would have caused financial strain wasn’t a breach of etiquette; it was prudent. If your name wasn’t on the gift card, you misled no one.

Good defense is generally regarded as much more difficult than good declarer play. Furthermore, if a mistake does
occur during the course of play, it is usually easier to discern where declarer went wrong than where the defense went wrong. For a typical example, consider today’s deal from the 1987 National Men’s Pair Championship. At most tables, South made 10 tricks in a heart contract, whether the game was bid or not. The play most often started with JQ-A of spades, after which the ten-of-spades return was taken by declarer’s king. Next came a successful club finesse, then a trump to the jack and queen. West returned a dia-

mond to dummy’s ace, which was followed by a trump to the ten and ace. South ruffed the low diamond continuation, cashed the trump king, repeated the club finesse and then cashed the A-2 of clubs, discarding his last spade to finish with 10 tricks. But at the table where George Rosenkranz, distinguished Mexican star, held the East cards, four hearts was reached as shown, and the contract was defeated. The spade jack was also led here and covered with the queen. But Rosenkranz, after considering the matter carefully, allowed the queen to win the trick! As a result of this unusual play, South could no

longer make the contract regardless of how he continued. In practice, declarer led a heart to the jack at trick two. West took his queen, led a spade to East’s ace and scored the setting trick with the five of trumps when Rosenkranz returned a third spade. In finding the winning defense, the only real problem Rosenkranz had came at trick one, when he had to judge whether the spade jack was more likely to be a singleton or a doubleton. He followed the percentages that favored a doubleton, and was well-rewarded for his thoughtful play.

■ Calling Around Covington
Covington library earns high rating Euchre event planned by local group There are four of us who get together on Sunday nights through the summer to play euchre, a game that I very much enjoy. Call me old-fashioned, but I have a bunch of fond memories that revolve around euchre. Our cross-country teams played it a lot during the summers, and on overnight trips. On one of our annual summer cross-country weekends in Hueston Woods, we spent a stormy night crashing on the couches in the lodge, and I was part of a series of euchre games that went on until six o’clock in the morning. It is on this note that we mention the final Covington Outreach Association (COA) activity until the spring. Covington and Covington area seniors are invited to the usual euchre match on Thursday at the Covington Village Center from 1:30-3 p.m. Call 473-3337 or 473-2415 to reserve a spot. They say it is their last euchre outing for the year, but I am hoping for
KYLE MOORE Columnist one more. If the winning team (or any team for that matter) would care to call me sometime on Thursday after the match, I would like to schedule the first annual “Calling Around Covington Euchre Championship.” I’ll get a teammate of my choice and we will take on the winners from this Thursday’s COA outing. We’re at the end of our profiles of leaders of Covington Schools, and I’m in need of a new column idea. If this euchre game happens (and I want it to happen), the results (and all the debauchery) would be the subject of the next column. Let’s do this! News from the library: The Hennen’s American Public Library Ratings 2010 has rated the J.R. Clarke Public Library 14th in the state for libraries in zip code populations of 5,000 to 10,000 people. The J.R. Clarke
rated in the top 3 percent across the nation. Fifteen criteria make up the factors determining the ranking of libraries. Some of those included are circulation, attendance, volumes per capita, and percent of budget spent on materials. They also still have a few openings on Wednesday, Dec. 7, for Joanie’s Christmas Floral Arranging Class. The classes will be held from 6-8 p.m. Dec. 6 and 7. The cost of the class is $25 with a mandatory deposit of $10 to hold a spot in the class.This deposit must be made at the time of registering. They have several patrons working on COA’s Christmas projects. If you have extra yarn you would like to donate to these ladies, you may bring it to the library. They have made some beautiful items that should add extra joy for those receiving these gifts during the holiday season. To finish up our profiles of the new leaders of the Covington Schools, I ran into the board office last week to talk with David Larson, our new superintendent. Larson is an avid runner, and I am an avid couch-sitter, but we spent most of 45 minutes talking about cross-country, track, and
education. (I told Dave the meeting would only last 10 minutes. I sure fooled him!) Larson is a 1998 graduate of Covington, and began teaching 7th- and 8th-grade social studies in Tipp City in 2002. He stepped up to the role of principal in Russia in 2008, working there for two years before coming back to Covington as the junior high principal. Two years on, Larson is in his first year as superintendent. It is not only in a road race that Larson moves quickly. “I’ve been fortunate and blessed with great opportunities, none of which were really expected,” he told me when I asked about his fast rise up the educational ladder. “I loved being a teacher and a coach.” After Larson helped relaunch the now powerful cross-country program in Tipp City, he got a call from a former boss in Russia and got his foot in the administrative door there, before moving back to Covington. “Coming back to Covington was a really special opportunity, getting to return to my hometown,” he added. “I originally didn’t have these plans. I was happy being a teacher, but I have loved every position I’ve had.”
When I asked Larson about the most enjoyable aspect of the job, his answer was consistent with every building principal in the district. “The most fun part of the job is interacting with the kids,” Larson explained. “I made that a priority, and I am fortunate that my office is in the same building I was in as a principal. I know a lot of the kids, and I try to spend lunch time in all of the buildings. I play kickball at lunch on Mondays with the sixth grade.” Besides getting to do one of the most (trust me) fun jobs on earth every Monday afternoon, Larson mentioned several times one primary goal – impacting the lives of kids. When I asked Larson who had impacted his life as a student, he noted the high quality of all his teachers, and named Mr. Dunn, Mr. Stroh, and Mrs. Brackman in particular. While it can’t be easy to be a superintendent anywhere right now, Larson noted some elements of transition when asked about the challenges of the job, or as he put it, changing from “education from an instructional standpoint to a business standpoint.” “Decisions are busi-

ness related, as opposed to being a building principal, when everything is instructionally based,” he said. “I am looking at the job through a different lens, but all decisions are still made with student interest in mind.” Being an educator myself, I know the subject of education can be a very weighty issue. And when I asked Dave about his vision for Covington Schools, he quickly had a succinct, thoughtful response. “Ultimately, I want this to be one of the best institutions in the Miami Valley,” he stated. “I want people to move to Covington because they want their kids to go to Covington Schools.” Email callingaroundcovington@gmail.com or call 418-7428 to put something in print.

HOROSCOPE Monday, Nov. 14, 2011 There are numerous ways for you to achieve success in the year ahead, but perhaps your best possibilities will come through undertakings where you are free to call all the shots yourself. Partnerships could limit your possibilities. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — The interests of your listeners should be considered before bringing up a subject that could easily bore them to death. If you want to be popular, keep conversations focused on them. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — If you’re smart, you’ll take care of all of your obligations first thing in the morning. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Don’t let one small negative thought block all of your positive alternatives today. Generally speaking, there are two sides to every issue. Choose well. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Unless you are completely honest about your limitations, there is a strong likelihood you will take on far more than you can handle today and end up with a total meltdown. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — Don’t allow someone whose views oppose yours to coerce you into a debate today. This person wants to do so in hopes that you’ll make a fool of yourself. Don’t bite. ARIES (March 21-April 19) — Early successes might spur you on, but take care not to overdo. You could run out of steam right in the middle of a huge undertaking. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Rarely do you hesitate to express your opinions, but if what you’re thinking becomes emotional, you had better keep your thoughts to yourself. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — Unless you handle commercial involvements in a sound manner today, you could quickly lose control of good business practices and get in way over your head. CANCER (June 21-July 22) — Be careful not to put yourself in a position of being at the mercy of individuals who have caused you discomfort in the past. You could be asking for a repeat performance. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Owing to certain responsibilities you failed to take care of when you should have, you may be faced with severe limitations today on handling a critical situation that now needs tending. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — If there is someone in a social get-together with whom you have a bone to pick, keep your discomfort to yourself. Any comments you make would put a damper on the entire group. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — The only way you will achieve all of your objectives today is to roll up your sleeves and keep your nose to the grindstone. COPYRIGHT 2011 UNITED FEATURE SYNDICATE, INC.

IN BRIEF ■ Football
Bengals drop game 24-17 CINCINNATI (AP) — With the game on the line, rookie Andy Dalton couldn't handle a little old-fashioned Pittsburgh defense. Rashard Mendenhall ran for a pair of touchdowns Sunday, and the Steelers intercepted Dalton twice in the fourth quarter, holding on for a 24-17 victory over the upstart Cincinnati Bengals. Pittsburgh (7-3) ended the Bengals' five-game winning streak and got a needed victory.
‘Finishing’ Dream Season Lady Vikings win D-III state title BY JOSH BROWN Ohio Community Media
Browns find way to lose CLEVELAND (AP) — With almost certain victory one short kick and two minutes away, the Cleveland Browns lost — in a snap. Phil Dawson's 22-yard field goal attempt sailed wide left following a bounced snap from center with just over two minutes left, giving the St. Louis Rams a 13-12 win over the bungling Browns, who again failed to score a Leah Dunivan pound a kill Saturday at the Nutter touchdown at home and Center as Sam Cash looks on. couldn't count on their steady kicker to bail them out.
FAIRBORN — Late in the fourth game, Miami East's Vikings noticed something about their opposition's demeanor that most other teams wouldn't pick up on. The look of defeat. Maybe coincidentally at that moment, one voice rang out from the stands packed with Casstown Crazies above all the others with a simple message: "Finish them!" No one needed to tell the Vikings. They were all over it. Miami East won six of the final seven points in the decisive fourth game Saturday against Gates Mills Gilmour Academy, finishing off the Lancers in resounding fashion, 2624, 17-25, 25-23, 25-21, completing a wire-to-wire run as the state's topranked team and capturing the program's first-ever Division III state championship at See CHAMPS/Page 16

OSU loses to Purdue in OT WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. (AP) — Just when Ohio State had become consistent, the Buckeyes reverted to their old form and fell flat. The Buckeyes' threegame winning streak was snapped when Robert Marve's 1-yard touchdown on a quarterback sneak in overtime gave Purdue a 26-23 victory on Saturday. The Buckeyes had to overcome deficits of 10-0 and 17-7 just to get to overtime. Braxton Miller passed for 132 yards and ran for 43, and Daniel "Boom" Herron ran for 62 yards on 18 carries for the Buckeyes. Ohio State (6-4, 3-3 Big Ten) took the ball first in overtime, and Drew Basil's 33-yard field goal gave the Buckeyes a 23-20 lead.

‘Rudy’ moment Vanchure goes out as champion

QUOTED "We didn't start the game off right. We didn't start out the game fast enough." —Luke Fickell on OSU’s loss
Every athlete dreams of their name being chanted after winning the title. Well, Miami East's Kelsey Vanchure got her "Rudy" moment on Saturday afternoon after the Vikings were crowned Division III State Champions at the Nutter Center. The rabid Casstown Crazies in the stands began to chant "We love Kelsey!" as the lone Miami East senior — and Homecoming queen -

walked up to receive her medal. "Its nice to know that everybody thinks about you," Vanchure said. "Its good to be a senior and to go out like this." Vanchure recorded nine kills in the Vikings' semifinals victory over Adena, and she tallied five more kills in the title game win over Gilmour Academy, although she played only a limited time in that match BEN ROBINSON/GOBUCCS.COM PHOTOS due to being ill.

plays to her.” And the times Glen Oaks did collapse on her inside, Kendra Brunswick and Cori Blackburn foiled the plan by hitting 3-point shots. Brunswick would finish with 12 points, Steva scored 10 and Blackburn netted nine. A big part of that was point guard Kristen Winemiller who ran the offense when she wasn’t making hustle plays on defense. “Anytime we have four kids near or in double figures, we think that is going to work pretty well,” Rank said. “We moved Kristen (Winemiller) to the point to get Cori (Blackburn) out on the wing with Kendra (Brunswick). “Cori is a good 3-point shooter and we think that is going to work well for us and Kristen is really doing
a great job at the point.” Edison made 29 of 47 shots from the floor for 62 percent and six of 14 from the line for 43 percent. Glen Oaks made just four of 11 free throws for 36 percent, to go with its 26 percent shooting from the floor. Edison won the battle of the boards 32-28. The Lady Chargers, 2-1, will play at OSU-Lima Thursday. BOXSCORE Glen Oaks (30) Morgan Balcom 1-1-3, Julia Wieserman 2-0-5, Renee Marcum 0-1-1, Jasmine Brown 2-0-5, Brenda Howes 1-2-4, Jessica Matthews 2-0-6, Sarah Menci 0-0-0, TeAnna Gillespie 2-0-4, Patrice Grayned 00-0, Trista Bernheisel 1-0-2.

Totals: 29-6-69. 3-point field goals — Glen Oaks: Wieserman, Brown, Matthews (2). Edison: Blackburn, Brunswick (2), Brady (2). Halftime Score: Edison 29, Glen Oaks 15. Records: Edison 2-1.
Edison men’s basketball coach Jon Ralph knows there were a lot of things the previously unbeaten Chargers could have done better Saturday. So, it wasn’t hard for him to find a bright spot in a 73-67 loss to Glen Oaks Saturday. “We just didn’t have the right aggression,” Ralph said. “We were playing from behind the whole game. We missed 21 free throws. You are not going to win many games doing that. “Then our free throw shooting seemed to carryover into our field goal shooting — and in spite of all that, we still had a chance to win the game.” Ralph knew it was going to be a step up in competition from the Chargers first three games. “They are much more like the teams we are going to see in conference play — big and athletic,” he said. “So, of course it is good to play a team like that.” The Chargers got into an early 9-2 hole, leading to a Ralph timeout and it was a sign of things to come. But, Edison made a run late in the first half and Lamont Cole had a drive to the basket with 15 seconds to go in the half to cut the deficit to 29-28 at
the break. Rondale Beard scored the first two points of the second half, but that was the last lead the Chargers would have. Jessie Davis had a putback to get Edison within 45-44 and a powerful slam dunk to get the Chargers within 57-55 with 5:00 remaining. That was still the score with 3:24 remaining, but with Glen Oaks leading 59-55, a pivotal play occurred. Edison stole the ball, but missed a layup — and the Vikings Karvel Anderson buried a three at the other end to make 62-55. The Chargers could never get closer than four the rest of the way. “That was huge,” Ralph said. “That was a big swing.” Davis led Edison with 15 points and six rebounds, while Kyle Duncan added 13 points and seven rebounds. Donnie Lee and Josh Jones scored 10 points, while Nick Tingle grabbed six rebounds. Anderson and Tyler
Bell scored 17 points each for the Vikings, while Alandis Milligan had 14 points and nine rebounds and Paul Jones also grabbed nine rebounds. Edison was 28 of 65 from the floor 43 percent and nine of 30 from the line for 30 percent. Glen Oaks was 25 of 57 from the floor for 44 percent and 19 of 33 from the line for 58 percent. The Vikings won the battle of the boards 47-37. “Glen Oak is a good team,” Ralph said. “But, so are we.” Which is why he could feel upbeat heading into Friday’s 7 p.m. game with Aim High Prep.

The obvious in Edison Community College women’s basketball team’s 69-30 win over Glen Oaks (Mich.) Community College Saturday was the dominance of sophomore post Brianna Innocent in the paint. Innocent looked like a woman among girls, outscoring Glen Oaks by herself during the time she was in the game. But, what may have not been so obvious at first glance, but what had Lady Chargers coach Kim Rank equally excited, was the job Edison did defensively on the Lady Vikings, holding them to 11 of 42 shooting from the floor. “I thought our defense was the big thing today,” Rank said. “That is what I told the girls after the game. “I think this is the best game we have played. Everybody did a good job on defense.” The Lady Chargers pressure gave Glen Oaks fits all game. “It did,” Rank said. “One thing is we are starting to learn our personnel. Our defense is based on our personnel a lot of the time. Brooke Gariety really gives teams problems when she is on the ball.” And the 6-1 Innocent is a big part of that as well. “She just does such a great job on interior defense,” Rank said. “That allows the other girls to step out and pressure them.” And she asserted herself on offense at the most important time. After Glen Oaks had tied the game at 15, Innocent quickly scored 10 straight points and four more by Jo Steva gave Edison a 29-15 halftime lead. The Vikings offensive frustrations continued into the second half as Edison turned it into a 352 run from the point when the game was tied, opening a 50-17 lead. Innocent, who had a double-double in the first half alone, finished with 27 points and 15 rebounds. “There is no doubt she (Brianna Innocent) is an outstanding player,” Rank said. “They didn’t (have anyone who could stop her. We started running some different isolation

Rudy Continued from page 13 Her teammate Trina Current stepped in and played well in her place, picking up four kills and making big plays during key moments of the match - none of which were more important than the block by her and teammate Leah Dunivan on Gilmour's Jessica Janota, which gave the Vikings a 22-20 lead in Game 3 and helped spark them to a 2523 victory in that set. Vanchure played two years of varsity volleyball, and this season she was a big part of helping the Vikings to an undefeated league run and a Cross County Conference title their second in a row. And now, Vanchure ends her career as a state champion. If you ask her teammates Dunivan and Abby Cash, though, they are sad to see her go. "These girls are my friends on and off the court," Abby Cash said. "In basketball, there are a
few of us together, but it's not the same." "I miss everyone on the team when we are out of season," Dunivan said. "We're a family." "I'm going to miss Kelsey," Abby Cash said. "I can't believe she's leaving," Dunivan added. • 'Big 3' Battle Gilmour Academy's Jessica Janota (6-foot-3), Maria Cup (6-0) and Maddie Kosar (5-8) provided a tough test for Miami East on Saturday. Janota entered the game with 276 kills, while Cup and the left-handed Kosar were also threats, with 229 kills and 201 kills, respectively. And during Game 1 it became apparent why East needed to focus on those three, as Janota went on a surge, scoring kills on three out of four points to help knot the game at 15-15. But the Vikings went on to take that game by a score of 26-
Champs Continued from page 13 Wright State University's Nutter Center. And the Vikings' (29-1) season was entire summed up in those final few points - they smelled blood, they attacked and they finished. "When Allie (Millhouse) served it and their girl shanked the pass, we knew they were done," junior captain Leah Dunivan said. "Their shoulders were slumping, they were hanging their heads and starting to cry a little. We knew they were giving up. They knew it was over." The Lancers (26-3) actually held a 20-19 lead in the game after sophomore Jess Janota pushed a kill to the back corner, but Miami East sophomore Sam Cash answered with a thunderous kill, giving the serve to junior defensive specialist Millhouse. Gilmour Academy couldn't put together a decent attack off of her serve, and Cash blasted home another. After Gilmour sent one long to make it 22-20 East, Dunivan stuffed Janota and electrified the arena - and everyone present knew what was coming. "When we're in the 20s and Leah gets a block, we get all of the momentum," fellow junior captain Abby Cash said. "In my mind, I know we've got them beat then." "I can't possibly overstate the job Allie did on that last service run," Miami East coach John Cash said. "She was phenomenal. And you've seen it before out of these girls — when they see the other team hang their heads, it's all over." Another Sam Cash kill put the Vikings one point away from bringing home the trophy, but the Lancers were finally able to handle another brutally tough serve by Millhouse, and Janota cashed in the opportunity to keep her team alive. Albeit ever so briefly. Miami East set up its attack on the final point, and after a couple of rallies back and forth Sam Cash drove home the final point of the match - and crowned the Vikings champions. "It was amazing," Sam Cash said of scoring the final point. "Abby set me up with one blocker, and I'd been scoring crosscourt with one blocker all day. “So I just went for it again, and it went down." Sam Cash led the
Vikings with 18 kills — four of which came in Miami East's final six points — and added 21 assists, 12 digs and a block. But as with the rest of the season, everyone contributed for the Vikings and every one of those contributions was critical on so big a stage. Dunivan had 14 kills — many of them coming on quick sets in the middle, just as in the state semifinal win over Adena — and added five blocks and three digs. Abby Cash had 11 kills, 28 assists, 20 digs, two blocks and five service aces — four of which came during the Vikings' Game 3 win. "We did (have an answer for Dunivan's quickhitters in the middle) — it just came too late," Gilmour Academy coach Kelly Coughlin said. "We haven't seen anyone run anything like that as fast as they do. “They're very unconventional. They almost play like a boys team, choking up on everything and with the way they use their hands. “They're all six-footers, and they're big and physically strong players. "We just lost to the better team today." "Our setters pointed out that they were drawing the middle blocker, and when they do that, we get one-on-ones on the outside," John Cash said. "So we went to the outside, but we weren't really connecting. So we finally just said 'let's see if they can stop Leah.' And I don't think they did." Kelsey Vanchure, the team's lone senior, had five kills despite only playing the first game and part of the second due to effects from an illness — and Trina Current did more than just fill in for her, scoring four kills, a dig and a block. Angie Mack added three kills, 10 digs, an ace, an assist and two blocks and Ashley Current had two kills and two blocks. Libero Allison Morrett led the defense with 34 digs and added two assists, and Millhouse had 14 digs and an ace. "I've been saying this all year. This is the goal we set three years ago," John Cash said. "We expected to be here, and all of the other talk just didn't matter. "Today you saw how gritty these girls are. They are tough." And they know how to finish.
24. On the other side of things, Miami East had its own version of the 'Big 3' rolling, as Sam Cash (18 kills and 12 digs), Dunivan (14 kills) and Abby Cash (11 kills, 20 digs, five aces) all had monster games for the Vikings. In the clinching game, Dunivan's kill tied the game at 18-18. From there, the Sam Cash-Abby Cash combination took over for the Vikings, as Abby assisted sister Sam on four kills during the final stretch, including the game-winner that gave East a 25-21 victory. Janota ended with 19 kills, while Kosar had 17
and Cup added 10. "I would say they were comparable to St. Henry's front line," Miami East coach John Cash said. "Kosar was phenomenal, as we knew she would be. We knew Gilmour had been here before and really wanted it. But in the end, our athletic ability and determination won out." • Marv Levy Gilmour Academy coach Kelly Coughlin was disappointed after Saturday's loss to Miami East, for it was the third time in the last four years his team has lost in the state title game.
But through it all, Coughlin retained a sense of humor about it. "I have a new appreciation for coach Marv Levy from the Buffalo Bills," Coughlin said with a smile. The National Football League's Buffalo Bills reached the Super Bowl four straight years from 1990-93 - and lost all four of them. "My seniors were second, fifth, second and second," Coughlin said. "They were runners-up their freshman, junior and senior years. “We did everything we could with our young kids, and the seniors got them
ready and took them on a ride." like East, Much Gilmour was filled with youth on its roster. The Lancers lose seven seniors - three of which started Saturday — but will once again be loaded next year, with 11 returning players, including sophomore Janota, freshman setter Megan Polak and freshman hitter Josie Sheehan —all of which contributed Saturday. • Lucky Charms And as for John Cash's Hawaiian trademark flower print shirt? "This one's going in the trophy case," he said.
