BY SHARON SEMANIE For the Daily Call editorial@dailycall.com SHANGHAI, China — Unlike many baby boomers who painstakingly count the days until their retirement, Tom and Joyce Lyman of Piqua have become expatriates in the bustling province of Shanghai, China, where they will make their home during the next two years.

Both 1965 graduates of Piqua High School, the Lymans are becoming quickly acclimated to life in the People’s Republic of China where he is employed as managing director of Delphi Thermal Systems Suzhou traveling an hour each way to work from the couple‘s apartment.

Lyman,who earned platitudes as a star athlete and scholar during his PHS days, began working for General Motors upon graduation.He attended the General Motor Institute and later MRI.Years later when GM and Delphi split, he went to DelphiThermal,which makes compressors for car air conditioning systems. Prior to leaving the U.S. for his latest assignment, he was global manufacturing engineering manager.

As managing director, Tom is charged with overseeing new machines,setting up product lines and dealing with suppliers and any problems that might arise. Notes Joyce, “Right now they have about 40 employees and within the next year See China/Page 2 PROVIDED PHOTO

Obituaries

Continued from page 1 should have a workforce of 200. They have several new accounts and are in the process of establishing those.Americans are almost constantly coming over from the Delphi plant in Vandalia where Tom previously worked. They usually stay for about a week or two similar to what Tom used to do.”

Why settle in Shanghai?“We decided to live in Shanghai sinceTom was more familiar with the area,” writes Joyce.

“He spent weekends in Shanghai when he came here (on business trips) and he just liked it.” The couple now reside at the Shanghai Racquet Club, which is a gated community with lots of ‘expats.’

Their clubhouse boasts both indoor and outdoor swimming pools, workout rooms,ping pong rooms,reading rooms, two restaurants, a medical center, spa and market.

“There are several tennis courts and basketball courts and each cluster of (apartment) buildings has its own pool,” she noted. “We live in a two-bedroom apartment. So far we have plenty of room because we haven’t received our sea shipment yet.” It’s literally been a slow boat to China as they await their furniture, winter clothes, bicycles, food and cooking utensils as well as family photographs and large computer.

The Lymans reportedly have eight English-speaking television channels but note “We never know ahead of time what will be on. Shows are mostly reruns like Master Chef, Hell’s Kitchen and America’s Top Model (which) seem to be favorites since the same episode is shown about three times a day.”

“Where we live there are ex-pats from all over,” Joyce said. “ We have an American neighbor from Texas whom we have met several times in the elevator. (We) haven’t really met too many people as we usually are busy on the weekends and during the week Tom doesn’t get home until 6 p.m. or so. I

spend my time scrap booking and reading from my Amazon Kindle, which I love.”

Over the next two years, the Piqua couple expects to sightsee extensively..

“So far we have explored some neighborhood markets,some walking streets (no cars allowed and nicer shops) and several parks. We have done much shopping at IKEA and Carrafour — a Walmart-type store.About one-quarter mile from our apartment are two or three blocks of various small restaurants all catering to different tastes.”So far, adds Joyce “we have eaten at about all of them except the Chinese (restaurants). We have cooked in some (at home) but none of my spices and cooking supplies have arrived.” She adds “ Tom has made several Ramen noodle dishes and stir fries.”

“There are small stores with every kind of vegetable you can think of and, in the grocery stores,they have live fish, deep-fried ducks with heads attached and chickens with heads and feet also intact. We have a small market near the restaurant street that has almost all U.S. food and seems fairly reasonable. All of the larger stores carry some American food. The rest you have to guess what it is.”

When asked about language differences, Joyce replied “Many Chinese people know some English and they all try theirbesttoplease.Tomhasadriverwho knows some words and I think he is trying to learn some more.The driving here is horrendous. Our driver is good in the sense that he hasn’t gotten into an accident so far.Drivers cut in and out of traffic, scooters zoom across the street withoutwatchingandpeopleandbicycles add to the mix.Amazingly, they all drive the same way but you don’t see many wrecks.There is no wayTom would even try to drive.”

Shanghai, considered the “showpiece” of a bustling economy and popu-

lar tourist mecca, has more than 20 million residents. Skylines are reportedly filled with skyscrapers, gleaming shopping malls and myriad cultural attractions. The metropolis is one of four province-level municipalities within the People’s Republic of China.

The Lymans’ adventure began last January when they began to contemplate the move to China; however, they didn’t firm up their plans until June.

“Even then there were many things to iron out,” she notes. “Tom and I both came for a ‘look-see’ and I got to see Shanghai first hand. Tom has been traveling here monthly since December and it’s a long 17-hour trip.”

When asked about taking a two-year hiatus from their life at home, Joyce lamented ”leaving our family was the hardest. We have four children, their spouses and grandchildren.” They include daughter Lori and her husband, Mark Miller, and their children Brady, Casey and Jessa; Jeff Lyman and his wife, Michelle, and their children Noah and Cade; Chris Lyman and his wife, Leshia,and childrenAidan and Harper; and Joe Lyman and his wife, Sarah, and children Nate and Andrew. Tom’s mother and brothers and my sister also topped the list along with our friends.”

She adds “I was lucky enough to have my daughter agree to take the other love of my life, my dog Buddy. Thank goodness for face time and e-mail.”

While Thanksgiving isn’t a national holiday in China, Joyce and Tom plan to celebrate on Sunday with friends from his plant. “On the Saturday after Thanksgiving Delphi is having a company party at a large park (and) that should be fun.” she added.

“The fact that we get to come home (to Piqua) at Christmas helps us ease into the two-year period,” added Joyce. ”Hopefully we will eventually be getting visitors and (Delphi) workers from the U.S.”

Family Continued from page 1 because dialysis is not something anyone wants to have to do.”

The UVMC Dialysis Center provides hemodialysis, which is a cleansing of the blood of patients whose kidneys no longer are functioning at an optimal level. Located on the grounds of Upper Valley Medical Center north of Troy, the Center has 22 stations and provides approximately 12,000 treatments per year.

In addition to providing regular on-site hemodialysis at the center, the staff can help local patients who want to travel – such as over the holidays — to make dialysis arrangements elsewhere, and will work with patients from other states who are traveling and need dialysis here.

They also can handle workups for any patient interested in possible transplantation.

New state of the art dialysis machines were added at the center earlier this year. The treatment suite is equipped with heated chairs and individual TVs for each patient.

The center serves adult patients of all ages with some very independent and others dependent on 24-hour care, Kreinbrink said. Many of the patients have diabetes and/or hypertension, which are major contributors to kidney disease, Nephrologist Sayed Ali, M.D., works very closely with the center’s patients, handling inpatient care if they are hospitalized and performing interventional procedures if a patient’s treatment access fistula needs attention.

The center does not provide peritoneal (at home) dialysis, but Dr. Ali works with another center for those wanting to pursue that modality and training.

The center staff includes RNs, LPNs and Ohio Certified Dialysis Technicians.

The center participates in the Fistula First tracking system by the

• PIQUA DAILY CALL

Maynard Watkins of Tipp City TIPP CITY — When Maynard Watkins heads into the UVMC Dialysis Center three mornings a week, he believes he is in good hands.

A diabetic diagnosed in 1985, Watkins has had more than 700 dialysis treatments since starting on dialysis five years ago in December.

He visits the center on the grounds of Upper Valley Medical Center every Monday, Wednesday and Friday morning. There, he’s connected to the dialysis machine for three hours and 45 minutes each visit. While the machine cleanses his blood, Watkins can watch TV, read a book or take a nap.

“A lot of times I just take a nap,” he said.

Although the options for some on dialysis include home treatment, Watkins said he is more comfortable coming to the center from his home in Tipp City.

“When you are on dialysis you have a tendency for your blood pressure to go down. If that happens here, I have technicians out there to jump on it right away,” he said. “I am in good hands — that is the essence of what I am saying.”

In addition to the dialysis team of nurses and clinicians, Watkins is under the medical supervision of nephrologist Dr. Sayed Ali at the Dialysis Center.

Watkins, 83, retired from Frigidaire after more than 40 years of service. He is active in his church and the Tipp City senior citizens, is on the city parks committee and follows his grandchildren’s’ participation in sports. He and Ramona have four children, six grandchildren and a great-grandson born this year.

He also drives a Shriners’ transport van, taking children to hospitals in Lexington, Ky., and the burn hospital in Cincinnati.

Other than the inconvenience of having to receive treatment three times a week, dialysis “is not that bad,” Watkins said. As a frequent center visitor, he said it is easy to get to know people by their first names, adding to a more relaxed atmosphere.

“I feel that a lot of it is your attitude. If you tell someone they are going on dialysis they can say, ‘Oh my God,’ go over and curl up in a corner and die,’” Watkins said. “I take the approach that I stay active!”

or greater each month, she noted.

For patients who anticipate they will soon need dialysis, the center holds education classes four to six times a year.

Participants are sent to the class by nephrologists who use the center — Dr. Ali and Mohammad Saklayen, M.D. — and usually are in the stage before hemodialysis will be needed six to 18 months down the road.

Kostecka, who teaches the classes, said the goal is to provide basic knowledge about their disease process and what options are available and get them thinking about who will provide support as they move into a dialysis program.

“We are trying to share with them you don’t have to change what you are doing. You may have to alter when you do things because of the time to be spent in dialysis,” Kostecka said.

“Each patient decides how active they want and can be,” Kreinbrink said. “We have a number who don’t let dialysis control their life. They control dialysis,” she said.

PPP thanks voters for passing levies

“But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.”

(Isaiah 59:2 AKJV)

The Village Idiot

Planning for the long term —tomorrow ob was not happy. He’d just gotten back from a meeting with his stockbroker, the guy who manages his 401(k).

“He’s, like, 21 years old and smart as a whip, and he always shows me these charts showing that if I had bought one dollar’s worth of such and such a stock 50 years ago, it’d be worth $50,000 today. He never shows the chart of the stocks that I bought 10 years ago that aren’t worth anything today.

“I’m asking him if there’s anything we can do to get more income out of the account, and the kid says, ‘You have to think long-term. In the long term this, and in the long term that. Over the next 10 years this will happen, and in the next 20 years that will happen.’

“I’m 74. Just how much longer does he think my ‘long term’ will be? When you’re my age, long-term planning is making it to the weekend. I don’t need the money when I’m 94; I could use it now. When I’m 94, I might not even know I’m wealthy. And what am I going to spend it on then? Women?

Sports cars?”

The funny thing is, when you’re 21, the long term also means just making it to the weekend. All this advice about saving money while JIM MULLEN you’re young, when you Columnist still have a long term, is great, but there’s just one problem: Most 21-year-olds don’t have any money. They’re tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt from college or trade school.

They’re not the ones who are buying $70,000 cars and taking spa-cations and European river cruises.

The few young people who have money are wasting it on $80,000 weddings and breast and butt enhancements instead of socking it away for their futures. And why not?

You can probably make more by being a waitress at Hooters than you can with a B.A. — for a few years, anyway.

When you turn 30 and become hideous by the extremely low standards of balding, potbellied, drunk-by-noon barflies, the B.A. still has value; the breast implants, not so much.

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard fathers of the bride tell me that they offered to make down payments on houses for their daughters if the girls would just elope instead of having big, expensive weddings. I’ve never heard of one bride-to-be saying ‘I do’ to that fantastic deal. It’s not in our DNA to think about the future, even though, as we should all know by now, the more expensive the wedding is, the shorter the marriage will be.

I have friends who have a retirement plan that they stick to religiously. Without fail, they make sure they put some money away for the future each week by buying $50 worth of lottery tickets. That is long-term thinking.

Surely, sometime before they retire they will hit a $200 million jackpot, so no worries there. People win almost each week, so their shot has to come sooner or later. It would be more convenient to hit the jackpot before they retire, but they don’t mind working until they win.

They’re willing to pay their dues.

Each week they have a long discussion about whether they should take the payout as one lump sum or spread it over 20 years. They talk about the tax implications.

They worry about how to handle relatives and needy strangers who will try to separate them from their hardearned fortune. They already know which lawyer and accountant they would hire, which homes they would buy, which bills they would pay off first. They have already decided not to tell anyone when they win until they get their home phone changed to an unlisted number. That’s because they know how to plan for the long term. They’re not going to make the same silly mistakes Bob did.

To the Editor: On behalf of the Positively Promoting Piqua (PPP) organization, we want to add our thank you to the citizens of Piqua who voted for the Piqua City Schools levies, so we can move forward with the great opportunity to build three new school buildings, with the State of Ohio paying 47 percent of the cost.

New, modern school buildings will be one more sign that Piqua people care about our community — and care enough to dig into our pockets to “pay it forward” for this and future generations of students and parents, as some of our parents and grandparents did for us, many years ago.

Showing that we care for our community is important for the morale and pride of the people who live in Piqua, and it is also important for people and businesses outside of Piqua, who we would like to attract to come to our city. We want and need more jobs, and keeping ourselves “looking good” will help bring them. Certainly, letting our properties and city deteriorate will not help us achieve our improvement goals.

In this economy, it is difficult to vote for higher taxes, or to pay them, especially if you voted no. I believe the day will come when we will all see that the sacrifice was worth it, and our community and citizens will be better off and glad we accepted the opportunity.

Positively Promoting Piqua is made of people united to help Piqua be the best it can be and focused on positive efforts to help Piqua improve and grow as an outstanding community in which to live and work. Moving forward with three new school buildings and consolidation of existing buildings is another positive step forward.

Thank you again.

—Daniel P. French Chairperson Positively Promoting Piqua (PPP)

DEAR ABBY: My 78year-old mother opens her mouth for only three reasons — to tell me what to do, complain about other people and to remind me that when my older sister died, it left a void in her life no one can fill, including me and my other sister.

Several months ago, I visited Mom and she wasn’t feeling well. She has a heart condition and osteoporosis, which makes her unsteady on her feet. A few weeks later, I called to check on her but couldn’t reach her by phone. Because I live 150 miles away, I asked my uncle to check on her. He went to her house several times and rang her bell, but got no answer at the door. I called other family members and friends, fearful that she had fallen — or worse.

Finally, that night at 10 p.m. I called the local police department. When the officers knocked on the door, Mom finally answered and told them that where she was or what she was doing was no one else’s business! She later told my uncle the same thing.

This is a cautionary tale to the elderly or infirm who tell us to leave them alone. WE WILL DO SO. But do not complain when you don’t hear from us, be-

DEAR ABBY: My dear friend “Katie” doesn’t share the same religious or political beliefs I do.

She enjoys discussing these topics and assumes that everyone agrees with her. If someone tries to disagree, she becomes highly offended and angry.

— DIFFERING FRIEND IN LARAMIE, WYO.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — J.R. Martinez started out as the least-known member of the “Dancing With the Stars” cast, but as the season went on, America fell in love with the 28-year-old soldierturned-soap opera star.

“Dancing” draws 18 million viewers a week who got a firsthand look at the Iraq war veteran with the infectious positive attitude. They heard his story: How he was severely burned over more than 40 percent of his body when the Humvee he was driving for the U.S. Army struck a land mine, how he underwent numerous surgeries over years of recovery — then they saw him dancing like that had happened to somebody else. The 28year-old actor and motivational speaker radiates joy.

“You’ve got such a sparkling personality, you just light up this room,” ”Dancing” judge Len Goodman said.

Earlier this month, Martinez was chosen as grand marshal of the 123rd annual Tournament of Roses parade. He was on the cover of People magazine and named one of its “sexiest men” a few weeks later. And on Tuesday, he became the new “Dancing With the Stars” champion.

Martinez and professional partner Karina Smirnoff claimed the mirrorball trophy over fellow finalists Rob Kardashian and Ricki Lake.

“We’ve been able to create a lot of magical moments on the show and to top it off with this is amazing,” Martinez said, holding the glittery trophy.

“And my friend, she deserves it,” he continued, looking at Smirnoff.

DEAR DIFFERING FRIEND: I wouldn’t do it once someone has started proselytizing. I’d do it BEFORE. At a time when you and your friend are involved in some mutually enjoyable activity, mention that certain topics, such as politics and religion, make you uncomfortable and that you’d appreciate it if they weren’t brought up with you. And if she “forgets,” 1. One notrump. Withsmile sweetly and say, out the partscore, a two“Who do you think will be heart bid would be playing in the Super Bowl?”

In this image released by ABC-TV, war veteran and actor J.R. Martinez, right, and his partner Karina Smirnoff hold their awards after they were crowned champions of the celebrity dance competition series, “Dancing with the Stars,” Tuesday in Los Angeles.

“She’s an amazing dancer and she should be in that category with the elite when it comes to this show and hold her own trophy up. The fact that I was able to be part of that journey, I’m excited about that.”

The dance partners neighbors — (and Smirnoff and Martinez live near one another) already know where they’ll put the mirrorballs.

Smirnoff wants to keep hers at her dance studio in “a space with a spotlight and I’m going to polish it every morning,” she said.

Martinez will be keeping his trophy even closer.

“Right now I’m going to put mine in bed. I’m going to tuck it in, and it’s going to roll around with me,” he beamed. “And then after that, once we’ve kind of grown

Such a jump would indicate interest in a slam but would not be forcing.

But with a 40 partscore, the requirements for a response are lower than the usual six-point minimum since you don’t have to bid as high as usual to reach a game. You therefore lower your sights accordingly.

• About Small Business Saturday Nov. 26 marks the second annual Small Business Saturday, a day to support the local businesses that create jobs, boost the economy and preserve neighborhoods around the country.

Small Business Saturday (SBS) was created in 2010 by American Express in response to small business owners’ most pressing need: creating more demand for their products and services.

A total of 1.5 million Facebook users, 130 public and private organizations, and 41 elected officials declared their support for SBS last year. More than 100,000 small businesses downloaded SBS marketing materials, 10,000 businesses signed up for free Facebook advertising that ran on SBS, and 200,000 consumers registered their American Express cards to receive $25 statement credits when they shopped at a small business on SBS. Small retailers who accept the American Express Card saw a 28 percent increase in sales on SBS when compared to the Saturday after Thanksgiving in 2009.

Piqua businesses take part in Small Business Saturday STAFF REPORT PIQUA — Squeezed inbetween Black Friday and Cyber Monday, the second annual Small Business Saturday is a national promotion spearheaded in part by the American Express Company to encourage holiday shoppers to purchase from locally owned small businesses.

The inaugural Small Business Saturday in 2010 “galvanized support across the U.S.,” reads an online press release. As in 2010, the movement became popular on Facebook and several elected officials across the country have joined in support of the movement.

According to Mainstreet Piqua Executive Director Lorna Swisher,

the idea to organize a specific day for consumers to support local small business is “essential.”

“I personally believe Small Business Saturday is essential for the ongoing livelihood of small business,” she said, noting that small businesses are “one of the largest sectors hit by the recent recession.

“It’s the small business that makes a community unique,” Swisher said. “If

people want to have a thriving community, they need to support their small businesses.”

Although Piqua’s downtown businesses participated in their Holiday Open House this past weekend, Swisher hopes

those who are out shopping this weekend will consider stopping by the shops and businesses located in the downtown shopping district, as well as those scattered throughout the city’s neighborhoods.

Keep your holiday budget on track Local DAYTON — Whether you are gearing up to hit the malls on Black Friday, sticking close to home for Small Business Saturday or shopping online on Cyber Monday, there’s still one thing you must do first — make a holiday budget.

The average American overspends for the holidays, and then faces a bleak January as credit card bills pile up. Don’t let that happen this year. Your Better Business Bureau and Clearpoint Credit Counseling have teamed up to offer financial tips and an online Holiday Planner Calculator to help make sure your holidays are merry and bright.

Check out our holiday tips on creating a budget and sticking to it, safe shopping online, giving and using gift cards, and more. Use the Holiday Planner Calculator to determine an overall budget, decide how much to designate for each category (gifts, parties, travel, food and donations), then get into details like how much to spend on each person, budgeting for parties and travel, and more. Creating a budget and sticking to it can be a challenge, but being more conscious of your holiday spending habits will help you start the new year without a lot of new debt.

Some other ideas for sticking to a budget: • Cut down on gift-giving: For work gatherings, have everyone draw a name and give one gift. Set limits with family members and then get creative about finding something in your new, lower price range. Consider giving only to children. For the person who has everything, consider making a charitable donation in his or her name.

• Do it yourself: Homemade crafts and decorations can be fun to make and to give. Consider baking or canning your gifts this year. Give gift certificates for future services (babysitting, dog walking, leaf raking) or special events after the holidays (shows, ice skating).

• Reduce, Reuse, Recycle: Use less of everything, because little things add up. Is it necessary to gift wrap that huge box? How about putting a “clue” under the tree instead and have the recipient find the present hidden someplace else in the house. Reuse gift bags – they are sturdy enough to be used five or six times.

Make your own gift tags and decorations. Spray paint old candle holders gold or silver instead of buying new ones.

• Trim energy costs: Switch to LED lights and you’ll not only burn less energy, you’ll need fewer strands because the lights are brighter. Turn off your outside decorations when you go to bed. Turn down the thermostat when no one is home. Combine shopping trips and errands, and carpool to family gatherings.

DAYTON — In honor of Small Business Saturday, a day dedicated to supporting small businesses on the busiest shopping weekend of the year, your Better Business Bureau is spreading awareness and advising people to support the small businesses in their area.

As a joining member, your BBB is teaming up with American Express OPEN to spread the word on why small businesses are so awesome. For the second year in a row, American Express OPEN has declared Nov. 26, the Saturday after Thanksgiving, to be Small Business Saturday.

Sandwiched between black Friday and cyber Monday, Small Business Saturday is a perfect way to support the small businesses you love.

“It’s great to have a day that’s completely dedicated to the success of our small businesses and it’s even better to think the success of this day could lead to the growth and prosper of the small businesses in the days and years to follow,” said John North, BBB president and

CEO. “We’d like to encourage people to take advantage of this day and show support to the small businesses in their community.”

In preparation for Small Business Saturday, FedEX will be away giving 40,000 $25 American Express gift cards to lucky people, which can be used to shop at small businesses on Saturday. A total of $30,000 went to people who registerd at FedEx Facebook’s page, www.facebook.com/FedEx, on Nov. 1. FedEx will give the other 10,000 to customers.

American Express is also giving a $25 statement credit to American Express card members who spend $25 or more on Small Business Saturday at a qualifying small brick-and-mortar, independent merchant that accepts American Express.

You must register to receive the credit. Registration is available in early November at www.facebook.com/smallbusinesssaturday.

HOROSCOPE Friday, Nov. 25, 2011 If you should find that time is finally granting you a more secure and independent self, the year ahead will likely be a very impressive one. You could ably tackle endeavors that previously would have been overwhelming.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — You’ll not receive any standing ovations by using intimidating tactics on friends and/or associates to get your way, even if you do accomplish your purpose.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Imposing your views and opinions on friends will be futile. They might agree with you when in your presence, but they will then march to a totally different drummer.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Don’t take a request for your advice as an invitation to be too candid. Chances are the person asking will be looking for an endorsement, not criticism.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — If you find that you and your special someone are operating on different wavelengths, it would be smart to avoid any discussions about each other’s faults. Nip such palavers immediately!

ARIES (March 21-April 19) — Just because you know a little something about the issue at hand, it’s no reason to volunteer to handle an issue for another person. Leave that up to the experts.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — It’s essential to remain patient when involved in some kind of complex commercial dealings. Hasty or impulsive actions could get you in way over your pay grade.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — Someone who wasn’t given the right to do so could make an important decision for you that won’t be in your best interests. Be on your toes, so you can take action and stop disaster before it starts.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) — If anything expensive or delicate needs some mending, chances are it would be cheaper to let an expert handle the job rather than attempting to make repairs on your own steam.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Whether you’re operating on an expense account or a household budget, be prepared to justify all the expenditures you make. Needless spending could hurt others.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — People you’re with are likely to sense that something is annoying you, and they might think they’re the source. Having a churlish attitude won’t resolve your problem, but it could cause a needless blowup.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — If you insist on focusing on people’s shortcomings, you’re more than likely to cause complications where none need exist.

Instead, try to see the good in others.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — All the good you did by doing a friend a favor will be for naught if you keep bugging him or her about the need to repay it.

Both your pal and onlookers could find your demands totally out of place.

CAUTION Whether posting or responding to an advertisement, watch out for offers to pay more than the advertised price for the item. Scammers will send a check and ask the seller to wire the excess through Western Union (possibly for courier fees).

The scammer's check is fake and eventually bounces and the seller loses the wired amount.

While banks and Western branches are Union 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.

Tips on Caring for a Real Tree 1. Keep the tree in a cool, shady place like the garage or porch until ready to bring indoors to decorate.

2. Saw a thin disk (1/2 to 1 inch) off the trunk prior to placing the tree in a water-holding stand.

3. Make the cut perpendicular to the axis of the stem, NOT in a v-shape or at angles. The tree will “drink” its water through the layer between the bark and wood. If you shave the bark off of the trunk the tree will not be able to absorb water.

4. Place the tree in its water-holding stand within two hours after making the cut to the trunk. When a tree is cut it will naturally form a seal of sap over it’s stump to keep moisture in the tree. You must break the seal to allow the tree to once again “drink” the water needed to keep it fresh throughout the holidays.

5. Your stand must be able to hold enough water for the size of the tree. A good rule of thumb is a one-quart capacity for every inch of diameter of the trunk.

Saine Sees Action Against Lions

Campbell adds to big season DAYTON — The honors continue to roll in for former Versailles standout Megan Campbell, a sophomore on the University of Dayton volleyball team.

CAMPBELL Campbell helped Dayton win the A-10 tournament for the third straight season.

Along with four A-10 Player of the Week awards this season, she was first team All-A-10, first team Academic All-A-10, named to the A-10 All-Tournament team and the Capital One District 5 All-Academic first team.

The 6-1 middle blocker leads the team with 141 blocks and is second with 291 kills.

She also has 19 aces, 54 digs and seven assists.

Dayton, 24-6, will learn who and where they play in the NCAA tournament Sunday.

Slagle helps BG get win BOWLING GREEN — Former Lehman standout Jessica Slagle helped the Bowling Green women’s basketball team even its record at 2-2 with a 57-49 win over SLAGLE Detroit.

Slagle hit two free throws with 1:20 remaining to break a 49-49 tie and the Lady Falcons led the rest of the way.

Slagle had nine points, four rebounds, one steal and one assist, making three of five shots from the floor.

BG hosts Western Kentucky Tuesday.

Packers stay perfect with win over Detroit

Romo rallies Dallas to win over Miami

DETROIT (AP) — Aaron Rodgers took every hit the Detroit Lions could dish out.

He just kept throwing — and winning.

Rodgers threw two touchdown passes and the Green Bay Packers built a big lead in the third quarter thanks in part to Ndamukong Suh's ejection during a 27-15 victory in Detroit on Thursday.

Detroit's best chance to beat the Packers was to knock Rodgers out of the game, just as it did last year in a victory that started a nine-game winning streak.

The Lions gave that tactic a

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Tony Romo doesn't care about winning in style. He's leading the Dallas Cowboys to victories, and that's all that matters.

Romo overcame a pair of early interceptions by throwing two touchdown passes to Laurent Robinson and rookie Dan Bailey made a 28-yard field goal as time expired, giving the Dallas Cowboys a 2019 victory over the Miami Dolphins on Thursday.

The Cowboys (7-4) were never able to grab control, but also never trailed by more

shot, hitting him even if he had already gotten rid of the ball.

Kyle Vanden Bosch was flagged for one of those late hits and could've drawn another penalty for trying to rough up the star quarterback even more on the same drive.

Rodgers refused to be rattled, kept his cool and won — again.

"We try to rise above things like that," Rodgers said. "We knew in a rivalry game, there are going to be a hard of hard hits, but we kept things between the whistles."

The defending champion See PACKERS/Page 15

than six points. The defense gave up scores on four straight series, but limited the damage because three of those were field goals. They finally got a stop with Dallas trailing 19-17.

Romo took over on his 36yard line with 2:59 left. He completed a few passes, then rookie DeMarco Murray kept grinding out yards and winding down the clock to set up Bailey's winner.

NFL Q: What team made the playoffs in 2008 after starting the season 4-6?

A:

San Diego

QUOTED “Let's get on a roll here and then we can do something beyond Jan. 1.”

—Pat Shurmur on the Browns playoff hopes

The 1909 baseball season was approaching. “Before many days have passed, P.H.S. will have representatives practicing on the ball diamond to defend her fair name and record for the season of ’09.

Already base ball is the chief topic of conversation in the school, and with the basket ball season fast approaching its close, the national game will have a clear field for its full worth of attention.

Captain Will Prince will lead the base ball diamond warriors to victory this season and under his seasoned direction, the outlook is considered good for a winning team.

The prospects, while not brilliant for a record breaking season, point to P.H.S. having a base ball team on the field this year that will able to cope with all who play her team.”

A preview of the track team was encouraging.

“P.H.S. track team is in daily practice for field events at Athletic Field and the members are showing up in good form.

Young is trying for the hurdles, and his past experience is proving to be of much help to him.

“He is rounding into good shape and will likely prove to be a winner. Hinsch on the pole vault is proving to be a good man and he is clearing the bar at a good height.

The hammer and discus throws, as well as the runs are being tried for by a number of lads, and taken as a whole the outlook is considered to be good for a winning team this season.”

The good news about the track season included the possibility of a meet with Troy.

“It is understood that negotiations have been opened between the Troy High school and P.H.S. to the effect that a dual track meet will be held between the two cities sometime in May. “The members of the Troy squad as well as the local High school athletes are anxious for a meet and it is highly likely that the contest will be pulled off.

The fact of negotiations between the two schools for a track meet shows that the strained relations that have existed between the two teams for some years have been wholly forgotten. This is a pleasing thing to members of

DUANE BACHMAN The History of Piqua Athletics A Journal Spring 1909

both schools and the proposed meet is being looked forward to by both teams.

“Practice for a track meet in this city will be started soon and with the abundance of good material to select from here the outlook for a strong track team well able to defend its colors.”

Lima, a traditional foe, opened the baseball season.

“The Piqua High school baseball team journeyed to Lima yesterday and played the High school of that place.

“The opening game was a rather blue start for the local team as they were defeated by the narrow margin of one run, the score being 6 to 5.

“Despite the fact that odds were against the local team they gave the Lima boys a good run for

For Home Delivery, Call: 773-2725

their money and stood a good chance of winning several times, but that ever present ‘something’ always turned up and Piqua was defeated.

“Good support was given the Allen County boys by their rooters, while Piqua was almost entirely ignored, even when the best of plays were made.

“It was a bitter disappointment to start out the season with a defeat the first thing but the bunch will get together and try and make up for the bad start. There is an old saying that ‘What starts well ends bad,’ and ‘What starts well ends well.’

“It is to be hoped that this last saying will hold good with the local team and end the season with a fine record.

“The reasons given by members of the local team for their defeat are that weak hitting and costly errors at the start gave the Lima boys a lead that could not be overcome.”

At long last a baseball game with rival Troy.

“In an uninteresting game spiced only by vociferous rooting on the part of visiting students P.H.S. was shut out yesterday af-

ternoon at Athletic Field by their old rivals, Troy H.S. by the score of 3-0.

The game was played on a wet and slippery field and the chilly wind that blew continuously across the diamond made the players shiver.

“The spectators were not entirely without suffering and those without overcoats looked in envy at those who had thoughtfully wore ‘winter’s protector.’

“Saw dust had been plentifully sprinkled about the wet places on the diamond, but in sports where the players some times found themselves were damp indeed. Several times when a slide to a base was made the base runner alighted in mud so deep that one could almost hear the splash. The Trojan team brought with them about two hundred rooters, and they kept things lively.

“They occupied one whole section of the big grandstand. There were many more paid admissions from Troy people than there were of local fans. This is a sad fact but nevertheless is true.

Piqua Opens Saturday

Macy Yount brings the ball up the floor for Piqua in a game last season. The Lady Indians open the season Saturday, hosting ThurgoodMarshall. The JV tips at 11:30 a.m., followed by the varsity at 1 p.m.

Playing right into Buford’s hands OSU runs past VMI 107-74 COLUMBUS (AP) — William Buford couldn't have been happier that No. 3 Ohio State was playing against VMI, a team that liked to press and run and gun.

Buford scored 23 points and Jared Sullinger added 17 points and 12 rebounds to lead the Buckeyes past the Keydets 107-74 on Wednesday night.

"I liked it. I don't know about everybody else, but I did," Buford said of VMI's uptempo style. "We just stayed with it and we were making shots on offense and getting rebounds and pushing it."

Aaron Craft had 13 points and eight assists, Deshaun Thomas 11 points and J.D. Weatherspoon 10 points for the Buckeyes (5-0), who shot 68 percent from the field.

"I told our guys after the game Monday night, I said, 'Hey, this (VMI) is going to be a fun game for you,'" Ohio State coach Thad Matta said.

Buford, the only senior on Ohio State's roster, had hit just 8 of 23 field-goal attempts in Ohio State's last two games and was shooting just 41.7 percent from the field on the season. But he made 10 of 16 shots from the field, including both 3-point attempts and his only foul shot.

He blamed it on the bad shots he was taking in previous games.

"That's just something that I don't need to do, to be honest," he said.

"I'm just trying to find the way to take good shots. And Craft's getting me the ball and Sully's setting good screens. Tonight I was just fortunate to knock them down."

Keith Gabriel led VMI (3-2) with 21 points, with Ron Burks adding 19 and Stan Okoye 12. The Keydets were playing their first ranked opponent since a 107-69 loss to thenNo. 4 Ohio State on Nov. 10, 2006.

That Buckeyes team went on to the national championship game before falling to defending NCAA champion Florida, 84-75.

"They are as advertised," coach Duggar Baucom said of the current

Buckeyes. "Sullinger's a load inside and did a great job and we knew he and Buford were the two main guys.

We didn't know that Deshaun Thomas could shoot 3s like that."

The 6-foot-7 Thomas opened things up by hitting 3 of 4 shots behind the arc in the opening half.

The Keydets came in averaging 88.2 points a game (allowing 82) while pumping up a shot every 34 seconds. Early on, the Buckeyes beat them at their own game by hurrying back against the press for easy baskets. Sullinger made all four firsthalf field-goals, all from within a step of the basket.

"Throughout this week coach has really been on us to make more shots," Craft said. "That's definitely one of the things that we needed to do better was to knock down good shots. One of the greatest ways to help us to do so is to get the ball inside to Jared and Deshaun and allow them to get some easy buckets. That just opens it up more for everyone else."

The Buckeyes ran their home winning streak to 27 in a row, and can tie the third-longest streak in school history when they host Valparaiso on Friday night. They play their first eight games at home before visiting No. 14 Kansas on Dec. 10.

Ohio State led by 13 at the half after shooting 70 percent from the field in the opening 20 minutes.

Sullinger then scored on three easy baskets inside to open the second half and the Buckeyes later went on a 23-3 run to put the game out of reach.

"The difference in the game, it was 13 at the half and they came out and pounded it into Jared and he got some baskets," Baucom said. "Then, uncharacteristically, we turned it over, which turned into transition (baskets)."

Matta went to his bench for most of the last 12 minutes.

Ohio State has won all three meetings with the Keydets, all at home.

Welcome to the neighborhood

“Support of the home High school team has been poor for the past year.”

Steele High School of Dayton was next on the schedule.

‘The team alone went to Dayton Saturday to play the Steele High nine. The day was bad and the best judgment of the local officials said stay home, but as they had made the contract and Steele sent the transportation they went.

“The game was played in a vacant lot near the Soldiers Home and a miniature blizzard prevailed most of the time.

“No admission was charged and the spectators were few. Piqua was simply not in it, a score of 12 to 1 was the story when it was over and only seven innings at that.”

Piqua hosted Lima for the second time this season.

“Enthused with more ginger and seconded by a great determination to win the local High School boys outclassed Lima High in a well contested match yesterday afternoon, winning 4 to 1.

“Everything was in favor of Piqua except a few decisions, still these were well decided. The diamond was in excellent shape and a more ideal day could not be expected.

“Everyone was tuned up for the game and although the attendance was rather small still a hearty applause greeted Piqua’s noble efforts.

“From the very beginning Piqua displayed excellent form and all the backwardness and timidity which was characteristic of their first few games had vanished.

“With ‘heads above the clouds and feet upon the ground’ they opened the game and led the Lima team a merry chase throughout.

“The game was clean and interesting and guilt-edged ball was played throughout.”

Prior to 1909 the track team participated in only one meet per season. This year, however, two meets were on the schedule.

“With favorable winds and under clear sky the P.H.S. boys pulled off their preliminary field meet yesterday afternoon in great style.

“Each contestant was in fine trim and they entered the skirmish lines like true veterans. A large attendance, mostly High school students, were there with an abundance of cheers.

“Fair eyes everywhere greeted the athletes and inspired by the presence of the ladies, the boys entered each event with more ‘ginger’ and happy were the victors when cheered and smiled upon by them.

“A well chosen and organized troop of athletes responded to the roll call. The track was in good condition and everything was favorable for the boys in attempting to break former records.

“They went through the various track and field events like veterans and the results were surprising.

“What the ability of Meeker, Young and Prince and one or two others as we

all know and fortunate are the preps in possessing such able leaders.

“They have used their best efforts in developing material among the younger athletes and pleased they must be to be repaid by such a successful turnout.

“When we say that the newcomers have exceeded all expectations, then ‘tis nuf sed.”

Baseball games with Greenville, Troy and Sidney were postponed because of inclement weather, but the track meet with Steele High school of Dayton took place.

“If Steele High school had won the relay race at the track meet Saturday, they would have been the victors by one point.

“Piqua had sixty to their credit and Steele 56. When the dim of the battle was over Piqua colors of red and blue were waving triumphantly.

“Piqua won and as their weak and tired team assembled to offer three cheers for the conquered ones, they did it with a vigor that only victors could.

“Piqua won and it was indeed a hard earned contest.

Our boys were put to their best efforts, but determination and spirit were theirs.

“Meeker must be especially complimented on his good work. Of the four events he entered he always returned with the laurel.

“His contestants were soon aware of what they were up against, but try as they could they were unable to dislodge the six footer.

“Young also starred in several events but the position he holds on the team tells his story of praise. Prince was there with the goods but he surely had some ‘man squeezers’ to run against.

“Prince has a habit of starting before the signal is given and on two occasions undoubtedly kept him from breaking the tape first.

Geyer exceeded all expectation.

“He worked like a trooper and he displayed those qualities which will no doubt make a promising and reliable athlete for the few ensuing years.

“Chamberlain did splendid as also Hunter, Snyder, Usemon Whitlock and the others. They deserve praise for their efforts. The B.P.O.E. cup offered by Piqua lodge 523, which has been held by Piqua, was retained and happy are the Piqua boys to possess it still.”

Greenville was the next baseball opponent.

“The game yesterday afternoon at the Athletic Field between the Piqua High team and the High school boys from Greenville was in a small way a repetition of the one seen on the same grounds the day before with the circumstances reversed in favor of the locals.

“Captain Prince, who is suffering from a slight attack of lumbago, was out of the game and though he was missed by the small crowd of fans present the team did not need him to win.”

A Saturday doubleheader

with Dayton Steele did not go well. “Steele took both games from the local High school boys yesterday, winning the morning game 9-2 and the one in the afternoon 5-3. Loose fielding and poor hitting by the Piquads were responsible for the loss of both games.

“There was one element in both games which made it a little harder for the locals, and that was Hussey’s umpiring. Some of his decisions were rank, and he certainly got himself in bad with the Piqua crowd.

“The attendance in the morning was small, but the grandstand was filled in the afternoon. Both crowds were disappointed in the article of ball that the locals put up and a good many remarks about ‘When John Smith played on the team’ etc.”

Piqua tried to avenge an earlier season loss to Troy.

“In spite of the rain and wet grounds the game between P.H.S. and Troy Hi was pulled off yesterday on the latter’s diamond.

“Considering the weather the game was a very clean well played exhibition of baseball. A little rain kept up all the afternoon and as a result the field was muddy, the ball wet and hard to handle.

“This made it difficult for both pitchers to do good work and was responsible for most of the errors.

“The Piqua boys played a better game than the Trojans, hitting harder, fielding better and playing in every way a game that was a pleasant surprise to the few Piqua spectators Piqua won the game by the score of 12 -6.

“This game, being won by Piqua, ties the two teams for supremacy. Earlier in the season Troy defeated P.H.S. 3-0 at Athletic park.

Arrangements were made yesterday whereby the tie will be played off in Piqua on Thursday next.

“This game should attract a large crowd from both places and as Troy has every intention of sending over a big bunch of fans, the baseball lovers of Piqua should turn out in full force and give the local boys the benefit of their support,” The spring sport season ended with an announcement a few days later.

“The rubber game which was to have been played between Troy and Piqua High’s Thursday has been called off

by Troy Supt. Cookson, on account of examinations being held this week here in the high school.

“Much regret is expressed on both sides that the game cannot be played, as both teams were confident of winning, and it bid fair to be the most interesting game of the season.”

Cowboys Continued from page 13 ended with a field goal, and the fourth time he's done it this season. The kick was his 26th straight made field goal, matching the second-best in club history.

It also was a measure of redemption for Cowboys fans, coming 18 years after the Dolphins won a Thanksgiving game on a last-second field goal following Leon Lett's memorable gaffe on a snowy afternoon.

my coaches for putting myself in a position to be misinterpreted and taken out of the game," Suh said.

Dietrich-Smith wouldn't say it was a dirty play.

"Stuff happens," he said.

Green Bay defensive end Ryan Pickett was more outspoken.

"There's no place for that," Pickett said.

The Packers took advantage of Suh's misstep just as they did on Matthew Stafford's three interceptions.

John Kuhn followed nose tackle B.J. Raji for a 1-yard TD plunge after Suh was flagged on third down, and Green Bay turned Stafford's interceptions into two TDs and a field goal.

Detroit became the NFL's first team to win three games in a season after trailing by 17 points with Sunday's comeback win over Carolina, but the Packers proved they weren't as vulnerable as the Panthers.

The Lions finally scored when Keiland Williams ran for a 16-yard TD with 13:11 left and added the 2point conversion on a pass from Stafford to Titus Young that trimmed Green Bay's lead to 16.

They scored a meaningless TD on Stafford's 3yard pass to Calvin Johnson with 11 seconds left.

Detroit had raised expectations for a competitive and entertaining game during its annual showcase after losing the last seven games by threeplus TDs on average.

The Lions kept it close early — in a punt- and penalty-filled first half — then simply couldn't keep up with Rodgers' passing attack and failed to stay disciplined.

A game that was scoreless for the first 25 minutes turned into a 24-0 lead for Green Bay late in the third.

"You have to keep your composure," Green Bay cornerback Charles Woodson said. "In big games, you need your best players there.

"They broke and we took advantage of it."

Rodgers doesn't need any help, but he did get an assist when Detroit lost three defensive backs to injuries, leaving the Lions with receiver Rashied Davis in the secondary.

Rodgers was 22 of 32 for 307 yards.

He threw a 3-yard TD pass to Greg Jennings with 4:51 left in the first half for the first score of the game and a 65-yard pass to James Jones in the third for a 21-0 lead.

Stafford was 32 of 45 for 276 yards. He was picked off by Woodson, Clay Matthews and Robert Francois.

Despite the humbling loss, Stafford remained confident about how his team stacks up with the Packers.

"I still do feel like we match up really well against those guys," he said. "We didn't play our best. We didn't get a bunch of breaks."

Green Bay's winning streak, including its run in the 2010 playoffs, equals the streak the Oakland Raiders had during the 1976-77 seasons.

New England won 18 straight during the 2007 season only to lose to the New York Giants in the Super Bowl.

The Indianapolis Colts and New Orleans Saints were the last teams to start a season 11-0, pulling off the feat two years ago.

Brandon Saine runs with the ball against Detroit Thursday afternoon.

Packers are 11-0 for the first time in franchise history and have won a team17 straight, record including the playoffs.

"I don't feel any pressure, this is a good place to be," coach Mike McCarthy said. "Who doesn't want to be 11-0?"

Green Bay easily passed what was expected to be one of its toughest tests toward joining the 2007 New England Patriots as the NFL's only teams to have 16-0 regular seasons.

"We're a long way from there," Rodgers said. "This is a big step toward our first goal, which is winning the division. If we are undefeated after 14 or 15 games, we'll talk about 16."

While the Packers are working on a perfect season, Detroit (7-4) has to figure out a way to avoid the physical and mental mistakes that have put the team on the playoff bubble after a 5-0 start.

The Lions have lost a franchise-record eight consecutive Thanksgiving games and added to their misery in ugly fashion.

"It really does ruin the holiday," center Dominic Raiola said. "You put so much into this and to go out there and lay an egg like that, it's disappointing. My day's ruined."

Suh's day might lead to another fine — and possibly a suspension.

He was tossed for stomping on Evan Dietrich-Smith's right arm in the third quarter.

Suh insisted he didn't intentionally step on the opposing lineman with his right foot, saying he was just trying to separate himself from the situation.

"I apologize to my teammates and my fans and

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

BUCKEYE BUSTERS

NAME: Chico Nelson HOMETOWN: Sarasota, Fla. OHIO STATE YEARS: 1990-93 HIGHLIGHTS: Nelson was a three-year starter at safety, with seven career interceptions. He was first-team All-Big Ten as a senior. He had 11 tackles and an interception against Michigan in 1992.

AFTER OSU: Nelson was an undrafted free agent who did not earn a full-time NFL roster spot. He has a degree in marketing from OSU and works in that field for a Florida golf course/gated community.

1: Which OSU back had the most rushing yards in a Michigan game?

SAY WHAT?

RECRUITING UPDATE

“If this was a players meeting, you might not be here right now.”

Adolphus Washington a senior defensive lineman from Cincinnati Taft announced a verbal commitment to Ohio State at a Tuesday press conference. His teammate Dwayne Stanford, a senior wide receiver, commited to sign with Oregon at the same press conference.

Ifeadi Odenigbo a senior linebacker/defensive end from Centerville, has been invited to the Under Armour All-American game. He has offers from Ohio State, Notre Dame, Stanford, USC, Northwestern and California.

Se’Von Pittman., a senior defensive — Ohio State football coach Luke Fickell’s reaction after a reporter’s cell end from Canton McKinley, verbally committed to Michigan State last sumphone rang during his press confermer, but Ohio State fans continue to ence on Monday.. hope there might be some residual interest in OSU.

2: Which OSU quarterback threw for the most yards in a Michigan game?

3: Which OSUreceiver had the most catches in a Michigan game?

4: Which OSU back had the longest

run in a Michigan game?

5: Which OSU player had the lon-

gest punt return in a Michigan game?

Answers: 1. Chris Wells (222 yards) in 2007; 2. Joe Germaine (330 yards) in 1998; 3. Brian Stablein (12) in 1992; 4.

Dan Herron (89 yards) in 2010; 5. Tom Campana (85 yards) in 1971.

Ohio State at Michigan, Noon, Saturday, ABC those yards have come in his last four games. Fitzgerald had 138 yards rushing and scored two touchdowns in a 45-17 win over Nebraska last Saturday.

Advantage: Even

QUARTERBACKS > Ohio State freshman Braxton Miller continues to be a running threat despite opposing defenses obviously knowing he is much more likely to run than to pass. Miller (595 yards rushing, 762 yards passing) is completing 48.6 percent of his passes, the lowest by a starting Big Ten quarterback.

Michigan QB Denard Robinson (1,889 yards passing, 993 yards rushing) has had to adjust to new coach Brady Hoke’s more traditional offense after running Rich Rodriguez’s spread offense last season. He is averaging two fewer running attempts than last season and his completion percentage has dropped eight percentage points. But he remains one of the most dangerous dual-threat quarterbacks in college football.

Advantage: Michigan

RECEIVERS > Ten times when Woody Hayes was Ohio State’s coach, the team’s leading receiver had fewer than 10 catches for the season. OSU’s receivers won’t quite drop to that level this season, but tight end Jake Stoneburner is leading the Buckeyes with 13 catches and Corey Brown has 12.

For Michigan, Junior Hemingway (30 catches, 591 yards) is the leading receiver. Maybe the biggest mystery about the Wolverines is what has happened to wideout Roy Roundtree. He led Michigan with 72 catches last season and also was the team’s No. 1 receiver two years ago as a freshman. But this year he has caught only 17 passes and has just two catches for touchdowns.

Advantage: Michigan

OFFENSIVE LINE

OSU produced fewer than 300 yards against Penn State. Center Michael Brewster had trouble with long snaps several times. And J.B. Shugarts was flagged for a devastating false start penalty on OSU’s final drive. So, there is room for improvement this weekend.

Michigan can score (33.6 points a game) and move the ball (421.2 yards per game). Center David Molk and tackle Mark Huyge are the most experienced offensive linemen for the Wolverines.

Advantage: Even

DEFENSIVE LINE > Slow starts have been an issue for OSU’s defense and offense lately. Indiana, Purdue and Penn State all jumped out to 10-0 leads on the Buckeyes in their last three games.

Defensive tackle Johnathan Hankins, of Detroit, might draw some incentive from the fact Michigan didn’t show a lot of recruiting interest in him.

Michigan’s defense has made an amazing turnaround this season, giving up 15.6 points a game after surrendering 35.8 points and 450 yards per game a year ago. Defensive ends Ryan Van Bergen (10 tackles for losses) and Craig Roh (8 tackles for losses, 4.5 sacks) and Mike Martin (5.5 tackles for losses, 3 sacks) are the leaders of this unit for Michigan.

Advantage: Michigan

LINEBACKERS > Andrew Sweat probably will miss a second straight game with a concussion. His replacement, freshman Ryan Shazier, had 15 tackles against Penn State.

Middle linebacker Kenny Demens, who started in 2010, leads Michigan in tackles (78). But two other returning starters, J.B. Fitzgerald and Cam Gordon, have not started a game this season.

Advantage: Michigan

LUKE FICKELL Ohio State football coaches are often judged by how their teams perform in “The Game.” Fickell, who grew up in Columbus, knows all about this. A win at Michigan could give the Ohio State coach a reason to smile in a sometimes bleak year.

< DEFENSIVE BACKS Ohio State trails Michigan in turnovers forced, 26-16, but only seven of the Wolverines’ turnovers are pass interceptions. Orhian Johnson’s interception against Penn State tied him with Bradley Roby for the team lead with three.

J.T. Floyd is the only Michigan defensive back with more than one interception.

Advantage: Ohio State

RUNNING BACKS Dan Herron (556 yards) has cooled off a bit in his last two games, gaining 76 and 65 yards, after having more than 100 yards in the previous three games. But he has a history of playing well against Michigan. He rushed for 175 yards against the Wolverines last season and had 96 yards two years ago.

Sophomore Fitzgerald Toussaint, from Youngstown, has emerged as Michigan’s No. 1 running back after it used a running backs by committee approach earlier in the season. Toussaint has 891 yards rushing, but 558 of

Playing favorites in The Game Twenty years now. Where did they go?

This is the 20th year I’ve written about Ohio State football for The Lima News. And that means Saturday’s game between OSU and Michigan will be the 20th time I’ve been at that game.

Most Novembers, someone will ask me what my favorite Ohio State-Michigan games of the last 20 years are.

My answer never changes.

I say, “I don’t have favorites. I have most memorable games.”

What I mean by that is that a couple of the games that stand out most for me in this rivalry are games Ohio State lost. They stand out just because they were so stunning or so emotional or for such high stakes.

Here are my Top 5 from the last 20 years: 1. (2006) Ohio State 42, Michigan 39. No. 1 Ohio State against No. 2 Michigan. For once, a game of the century lived up to its advance billing.

And Bo Schembechler, one of the towering presences of this rivalry, had died the day before the game.

2. (2002) Ohio State 14, Michigan 9. Like the 2006 game, this win sent the Buckeyes to the BCS national championship game. And like six other games in that magical national championship season, it was decided by a touchdown or less. Maurice Hall got the game-winning touchdown on a 4-yard run and Will Allen’s interception in the end zone as time ran out ended it.

3. (2005) Ohio State 25, Michigan 21. Troy Smith threw for 300 yards and led Ohio State back from nine points down with 7 ½ minutes to play. And Anthony Gonzalez made the best catch I’ve ever seen by an OSU receiver not named Terry Glenn.

4. (1995) Michigan 31, Ohio State 23. Tshimanga Biakabutuka and 313 yards is all you need to know. I was so sure Ohio State was going to win that I had already booked a flight for the Rose Bowl.

5. (1997) Michigan 20, Ohio State 14. OSU was so close, but Charles Woodson locked up the Heisman Trophy instead.
