are, “pretty with a purpose”. “They are designed to capture water,” said Raterman on how rain gardens reduce runoff from roofs to storm drains, curb erosion and remove pollutants. A properly built and maintained rain garden will allow some 30 percent more water to be soaked back into the ground thus recharging ground water supplies and help to keep pollutants such as lawn fertilizers and pesticides out of streams and lakes.

Reindeer The reindeer (also called the caribou) is a medium-sized member of the deer family. The genus and species of the reindeer are Rangifer tarandus. Reindeer are strong runners and very good swimmers. This deer is found in Arctic tundra, forests, and mountains in Russia, Northern China, Canada, Alaska, and Scandinavia. Some reindeer migrate in huge herds from the coastal Arctic to the tundra. Reindeer have a life span of about 10 years in the wild. Domesticated Reindeer: Reindeer were domesticated in northern Eurasia roughly 2,000 years ago. Today, reindeer are herded by many European and Asian Arctic people. Anatomy: The reindeer is about 4 feet (1.2 m) tall at the shoulder and is about 6 feet (1.8 m) long. Unlike most other types of deer, both bulls (males) and cows (females) have antlers. The antlers are shed each year and regrow. Reindeer have very wide hooves, a broad muzzle, and

thick brown fur. The thick fur traps air, which insulates the reindeer from the cold and helps the reindeer float in water. Behavior: The reindeer is an herbivore (a plant-eater) who
~ Real Reindeer Facts ~ Did you know that male and female (that's the boys and the girls) reindeer both have antlers? Even the calves (babies) produce antlers. Antlers are sometimes called "racks." Caribou are the only other deer where males and females have antlers. The antlers will fall off after several months, but don't worry — they grow back. Reindeer calves weigh about 14 pounds when they are born. Adult females weigh about 162-187 pounds while the males 200-220 pounds on average. An adult reindeer stands about 3 1/2 to 4 feet tall. That is the average size of a typical 7-8 year old child! How tall are you compared to a reindeer? Calves are born between May and

June and grow very quickly so they can keep up with the herd. They can stand and walk within minutes of their birth. Calves are born with teeth so they can start eating right away. They also drink milk from their mothers. Reindeer live in cold, snowy places — like close to the North Pole. Who else do you know that lives at the North Pole? Reindeer can be found in northern parts of North America, Asia, and Europe where it is colder. How do they keep warm you ask? Well they have thick wooly fur. Their hair is hollow inside. This provides them with a form or insulation. It also allows them to lay in the snow without emitting heat and melting the snow. This way they can stay dry (and warmer). In the summer, their fur thins

out to help them stay cool. Reindeer have large hooves that spread apart as they walk on the snow. They act like snowshoes and prevent the reindeer from sinking in the snow! Have you ever tried walking with snowshoes? These special hooves also help them look for food beneath the snow. The tendons in their hooves create a clicking sound when they walk. Wild reindeer are herbivores. That means they eat plants. Reindeer enjoy eating high quality leaves, stems and buds. They really like edible mushrooms. Do you like mushrooms? They also eat lichen which is a moss that grows on the ground. Reindeer can be selective in what they eat. Reindeer are very strong and can carry a load that weighs as much as they do!

Later, Scott completed her master’s degree in Literacy from Nova Southeastern University. After WSU, Scott worked at a bank for a year and as a day care teacher at Wright Patterson Air Force Base.

Over the past five years, Scott has used a variety of rewards to motivate and encourage her students. “I use a lot of praise,” she said. “Stickers, prize boxes, and naming a leader of the day are things the students are happy to get.” The use of technology such as SmartBoards, Smart Slates, and Elmo’s has

added to student attention and involvement. “We use the SmartBoard to read books, poems, and for writing about what we are learning,” Scott said. “We can play songs, hear beginning letter sounds, and even use the Board for math and science.” Scott loves working with the five and six year olds. “Some days it can be challenging, and every day is different,” she said. “But, it is very rewarding. The students are at an age that is very impressionable, and they need good role models, which is what I strive to be. Kindergarteners get very excited about learning, and that makes my job easy.” Outside the classroom, Scott serves on the District Calendar Committee and the Labor Management Committee. She is one of the planners for the annual Nicklin Thanksgiving Feast. At home, Scott enjoys shopping, working out, and spending time with her family. She still plays recreational volleyball and softball. She and her husband Tony, who owns Keystone Homes of Troy, have been married six years. They have a son and a daughter.

Tipp City woman Above average temperatures believes in helping hospitalized kids
The big weather story this week will be above average temperatures. As the area of high pressure slides east of us we'll see winds shift from the south and southwest. Highs will be in the 40s for Tuesday and approach 50 on Wednesday and Thursday. However with the warmer temperatures also comes a likely chance for rain by midweek.

TIPP CITY — When Tammie Rafferty’s daughter was admitted to the Cincinnati Children’s Hospital residential mental hospital in 2007, it turned her world upside down. But not just because of her own child. Rafferty confessed that Mary’s 15month stay was devastating, especially around Christmas, but it opened her eyes to a previously unknown world of lonely children with severe emotional or behavioral problems. A large majority of the children on her daughter’s unit that year were, and are, in foster care with no one to visit or care for them or celebrate holidays and special occasions. “These kids are just completely overlooked and forgotten year after year,” Rafferty said, “It’s a vicious cycle — nobody reaches out to help because nobody knows they’re there.” It was that thought during Christmas 2007 that spurred Rafferty to make a promise to the kids, ensuring they would no longer be overlooked and forgotten. So, Project Believe was born. When she went to the hospital on Christmas Day to celebrate with her family, Rafferty brought gifts for all the children on the unit, especially those with no family. The next year friends and family chipped in and Rafferty once again found herself passing out wrapped gifts for all the family-less kids on the familiar unit. By 2009, word of what Rafferty was up to had spread and more friends and family pitched in and were able to provide all 35 kids in the hospital with new pajamas, socks and toys. The pajamas especially touched Rafferty’s heart. She remembers visiting her daughter, who was always bundled in cozy PJ’s and a blanket from home and a teddy bear, right alongside a roomful of other children in scrubs, mismatched socks and scraggly Ts. “It broke my heart,” Rafferty explained. “I just couldn’t stand it.” But she wasn’t one to sit by and mope. Today, Project Believe is an official nonprofit organization in Ohio and waiting on federal approval, which should come through soon. Rafferty is thrilled with the growth because it means more money from grants and the public to help make more kids happy during the holidays. Rafferty losing her job earlier this year also contributed to Project Believe’s growth, an incident which she’s certain

was a sign that it was time to make the organization a full-time endeavor. “This is my job. It’s not generating any income, but the kids are taken care of,” Rafferty said. She’s always amazed at how little it takes to light up the kids’ spirits. “These kids appreciate anything and everything because they literally have nothing. It takes so little to do something big in these kids’ lives,” Rafferty said as she teared up. But Rafferty can’t do it alone. The organization relies on the generosity of others in the form of monetary donations, new toys, games, socks and toiletries. This year, those with an urge to pitch in can join Rafferty and many others from the community at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 21, at CrossRoads Christian Church for the Project Believe Wrap Party. All the gifts that have been donated and purchased over the year will be wrapped and bagged for 35 grateful, deserving kids. “It’s a small act, what we do, but it’s so big to them because it makes them feel important. The kids mean so much to me,” she said. Monetary donations can be made online at www. projectbelieve.net and toys and other gifts can be dropped at Rafferty’s home at 435 S. First St. in Tipp City. She can be reached at 266-3074. All donations for this year’s gift drop must be in by Dec. 20.
Ohio Lottery names store its Retailer of the Week BY MELODY VALLIEU Ohio Community Media vallieu@tdnpublishing.com WEST MILTON — C & J Party Supply has been named Retailer of the Week by the Ohio Lottery Commission. Owner Phillip Wilson said the business, 26 Emerick Road, will be featured on the Ohio Lottery’s weekly Cash Explosion Show at 7:30 p.m. Dec. 17. Wilson said it could not be a more appropriate time to feature the business he has owned for 28 years, because he recently renovated the business, which is a state liquor store, and offers wine and lottery sales. The business also serves as a carry out. “All your party supply needs — except the paper,” Wilson said jokingly. The Milton-Union graduate said C & J Party Supply is a family business, and at one time or another, most all of his family has worked for the store. The Ohio Lottery each week recognizes one outstanding retail partner who offers courteous service and sales enthusiasm, according to its website. Retailer of the Week is chosen based on recommendations by their lottery sales representative

and regional sales office staff. He said he believes good customer service definitely helped his store be identified as a top Ohio Lottery retailer. “I have some great employees,” he said. “After being here 28 years, and it being the first time being selected, it’s kind of special.” Wilson said the store has sold several $100,000
winning tickets and a new car winner also purchased their ticket at his store. In the future, Wilson said he hopes to continue staying competitive by updating the existing building and offering wine tastings and other customer-friendly opportunities.

Brave new world of medical care he holiday shopping stampede has begun. Black Friday. Small Business Saturday. Cyber Monday. Parking lots are filling. The Web is buzzing. And the latest tool for comparison-shopping and finding rock bottom prices is the smartphone using any number of search tools. I’ve always thought I was very good at negotiating bargains, especially on big-ticket items. I enjoy the challenge of arm wrestling with new/used car salespersons. But recently I have discovered that there is one thing I have been very bad at shopping for and I suspect many others have been as well. Medical care. For most of my working days, I was very fortunate to have good medical insurance through my employers for which I paid a small share of the premium. Going to my family doctor for a cough, fever, or sore throat was no hassle. Plunk down the insurance card, fork over a $10 co-pay, get examined, follow orders, and get well. Medications? No problem. Produce the card and pay a small copay. Surgeries over the years were no hassle as well. Show the card, fill out some paperwork, get the work done, then go home and recover. No fuss. No muss. And … no bill. Then along came retirement and my retirement system insurance program. Don’t get me wrong. I feel very fortunate to have medical insurance of any kind in retirement knowing many millions of Americans have none whatsoever. But the GARY OGG monthly premiums and anColumnist nual $1,500 out-of-pocket costs followed by an annual $2,500 in 80/20 co-pays (plus a complex tiered prescription program) have quickly made me sit up and take notice. This was especially so when I got the bill for my first post retirement blood work that I need semi-annually. What had cost nothing when I was working was now going to lighten my wallet $395.64. I would have fainted if not for the fear of what an ambulance ride might cost. I decided to put my shopping savvy to work and search for a lower price the next time I needed testing. I started with my insurance company since they pay the bill. A very nice lady answered. I explained I was shopping for a lower price on getting a blood panel done. She explained I needed “procedure codes” to get this information and directed me to check with various “providers” who would then give me these codes. It sounded simple enough. How hard can it be to code “stick in needle, draw blood, and test”? Next I called my doctor’s office since they ordered the work. They said to contact the billing department of the hospital that my doctor’s office is affiliated with. The hospital sent me back to the insurance company, which then directed me back to the hospital. This tennis play went back and forth several times until, for advice, I called a relative who actually works in a medical billing office. She gave me some codes to use. I called the insurance company back, gave them the name of the hospital where the blood would be drawn/tested, and the codes. I then found out I needed the hospital’s federal tax I.D. number. Huh? The hospital would not give this out. so back to the insurance company. Another very nice lady informed me that I probably could get a lower cost if I went to an independent lab and gave the name of a few. But these independents could/would not divulge the cost for this blood panel. I was ready to jab my own arm. Out of frustration I rolled the dice and picked an independent lab. The resulting bill was for $18.74 for what had nearly cost me $400 six months earlier. I went through this same circus trying to comparison shop for non-emergency X-rays and discovered all the independent providers locally have been bought up by various hospitals. Medical costs are hidden behind an impenetrable wall. Shopping for care is analogous to going to a car dealer, signing for a car without knowing how much it will be, driving it home and keeping it for a month, and then getting a bill in the mail. I do not know if the new health care laws that are being implemented are a solution, but pricing should be made available ahead of time so consumers can make informed decisions. This might actually inject some good old capitalistic competition into the industry, serving to lower the nation’s overall health care costs.

WASHINGTON (AP) An online advocacy group is urging corporations that market to AfricanAmericans to stop giving money to a conservative organization working for stricter voting laws. The group, ColorofChange, is targeting companies that support the American Legislative Exchange Council, or ALEC, a nonprofit that has helped states pass photo ID laws, which are criticized by minority and civil rights groups. Its members include legislators and corporations, who pay higher fees to join. Executive director Rashad Robinson is not yet naming the companies, but said Wednesday his group has already asked them once to drop their financial support of ALEC. ColorofChange also is asking its more than 800,000 individual members to sign a letter asking ALEC’s corporate members, which include Coca Cola and Wal-Mart (NYSE:WMT) among others, to end their support for the group. The intent, Robinson said, is to “place their brand next to these discriminatory voter ID laws and their impact.” “The corporations behind this can’t come to us for our dollars 364 days of the week and disenfranchise us on the 365th,” Robinson said. Last year, 14 states approved 25 measures related to voting, from requiring photo IDs at the ballot box to restricting voting by ex-felons. Critics of the laws say they would have a negative effect on African-Americans, Latinos, students and the elderly. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People said this week it will gather information on an new early voting law in Florida in order to make the case to the Justice Department that the stricter laws were a coordinated assault on minorities’ voting rights at a time when their numbers in the population and at voting booths have increased. Some of the voting measures gained momentum through ALEC, which provides “models” of bills to corporate sponsors and legislative members who can then tweak them and propose them in their state legislatures.

Woman is ready ‘Dallas’ returns to to put an end to friendship city it made famous
Advice — MYSTIFIED BRIDE IN ALABAMA DEAR MYSTIFIED: Yes, it is. To solicit money the way that couple did is crude. An acceptable way to get the word out about the type of gifts couples prefer is by word of mouth. Guests usually ask if a couple is registered and where, and when the question is raised, it’s all right to tell them. If you have created a wedding website, the information can be included on it; however, it shouldn’t be so blatant that it appears gifts are uppermost in your mind. When couples prefer a gift of money, the proper way the information should be conveyed is verbally by your family or friends, but not by you. DEAR ABBY: I love the holiday season, but I often feel the blues and get a little depressed. I lost my father on Christmas Day several years ago and have since lost a brother to cancer. I’m tired of feeling this way when this is the season to be merry. What can I do? — ANOTHER BLUE CHRISTMAS IN SOUTH CAROLINA DEAR BLUE: I am sorry for your losses. Because of your father’s death on Christmas Day, it may always bring some sense of loss. However, an effective way to distract yourself would be to spend time in the company of friends who understand your feelings. Another would be to volunteer at a senior center, shelter or food distribution program. Helping someone else through a difficult time is the surest cure for the blues. Please give it a try.
DALLAS (AP) — J.R. Ewing has returned to Dallas. With Larry Hagman reprising his role as the conniving Texas oilman, filming is underway at locations all over the city for TNT’s new television series “Dallas,” which will also see the return of Patrick Duffy as J.R.’s brother Bobby and Linda Gray as J.R.’s ex-wife Sue Ellen, along with a new generation of Ewings. And, of course, the spotlight also returns to the city itself, with its distinctive skyline rising from the prairie. “We’re trying to give the show a real sense of place and Dallas has a real personality,” said location manager John Patterson, adding, “It’s a city that does things in a big way. That’s part of J.R. and part of what we try to give the show — a sense of the city, which is big, very well done, shiny, new and looking toward the future.” TNT has ordered 10 episodes of the series, set to air in summer 2012. Filming for the series, entirely shot in Dallas, began mid-October and is expected to wrap in late January. “There was just no way we were going to film anywhere else,” said executive producer Cynthia Cidre, who also wrote the pilot for the new series, a “mix of the old world and the new world.” The original series, which aired from 1978 to 1991, enjoyed popularity around the world as viewers tuned in to watch the scheming Ewing family. As the plot twisted and turned season after season, the series contributed to some of TV’s most memorable moments. After Bobby died in a season cliffhanger in 1985 after being hit by a car, the entire next season was revealed to have been a prolonged dream sequence when his former wife, with whom he had reconciled, wakes up to find him alive, taking a shower. The
curred in the 1977 world championship match between Australia and Sweden and involved one of the best pairs of that era. At the table in question, with a Swedish pair North-South, the bidding went as shown. West (Dick Cummings) led the king of diamonds, on which East (Tim Seres) played the six. Seres was afraid to play the deuce on the king because he thought that might be interpreted as suggesting a club shift. However, Cummings thought that the six play might be based on the 6-2 doubleton, so he continued with the ace of diamonds. This play ultimately proved fatal. South ruffed and returned a low trump toward dummy. Cummings went up with the king and then — too late — shifted to the

has changed in the last 20 years with new construction. Recent additions where scenes have already been filmed include a downtown arts district with a new opera house and theater. They’ve also filmed at Jerry Jones’ gleaming Cowboys Stadium in the suburb of Arlington. They are also filming at plenty of classic Dallas locations including downtown’s Neiman Marcus, the luxury chain’s flagship store, and the State Fair of Texas. And, of course, they’re shooting at the famed Southfork Ranch, an events center that houses the Ewing Mansion. “I think the lovely part this time is that we’re really incorporating a lot of Dallas itself. I think we’re utilizing much more of it so far,” Gray said.

My enemies are going to be harder to find.” The actors rounding out the new generation are: Jesse Metcalfe as Bobby’s adopted son, Christopher Ewing; Julie Gonzalo as Christopher’s fiancee, Rebecca Sutter; and Jordana Brewster as Elena Ramos, daughter of the cook at the Ewing family’s Southfork Ranch who grew up to become a geologist and is John Ross’ girlfriend and the former love of Christopher. “Her alliance is constantly shifting,” Brewster said. “She’s a very fun character to play.” The youngest Ewings aren’t the only new thing in Dallas: The city itself

In this Nov. 4 photo, actor Larry Hagman shows off a wrist watch elaborately decorated with the initials "J.R" inscribed on the bands while giving an interview on location during the filming for the upcoming new series "Dallas" in Dallas. The original series, which aired from 1978 to 1991, enjoyed popularity around the world as viewers tuned in to watch the scheming Ewing family. The catchphrase “Who shot J.R.?” became part of the common vernacular after a season-ending cliffhanger in 1980.

DEAR ABBY: My fiance and I recently received a wedding invitation from a friend of his from high school. Our wedding is not far away, and I have an etiquette question. Although it wasn’t stated on the invitation where the bride and groom were registered, a Facebook message was sent after our invitation arrived in the mail. It said, “In lieu of gifts, people can donate monetarily to the couple” — by check or cash the day of the wedding, or via a Paypal account they have set up. I’m confused. I grew up (and still live in) the South, and this doesn’t seem like a traditional approach to gift-giving. Isn’t it considered inappropriate to ask for money?

1986-87 season then mark’s Duffy’s return to the cast after a yearlong absence. And, of course, there was the cliffhanger in 1980 that left the whole world in suspense. The catchphrase “Who shot J.R.?” became part of the common vernacular as viewers waited to find out who had fired on J.R. When viewers tuned in for the answer on Nov. 21, 1980, the shooter was revealed to be J.R.’s vengeful mistress, who was also his sister-in-law. That episode was seen by more people than any TV program in history until that time. “That phrase. I don’t think there’s a country in this world that you could find someone who doesn’t know what that is. And it all goes back to ‘Dallas,’” said Josh Henderson, who plays J.R. and Sue Ellen’s son, John Ross. Henderson, who was born in Dallas and spent part of his childhood here, said that working with Hagman has been a little surreal. “I find myself sometimes just looking at him sometimes going, ‘Wow, this is really happening. This is really ‘Dallas’ again and I’m really kind of family and kin to the J.R.,” Henderson said. Hagman, who said returning to Dallas to film the legendary show again has been like “coming home,” says that this time out, the plots are even more complicated. “Everybody’s doubledealing here. I mean everybody,” he said. Hagman, who turned 80 in September, announced in October that he has been diagnosed with “a very common and treatable form” of cancer but still planned to continue work on the reboot of “Dallas.” Hagman underwent a liver transplant in the mid-1990s. Filming a scene this fall, it’s apparent that J.R. has lost none of his swagger. After striding into a sleekly designed Dallas home in his Western blazer and cowboy boots, he sits down and begins

DEAR MOVING ON: It would not be confrontational to tell them that while you have known each other for a long time, you feel you have grown apart.

DEAR ABBY: I am a gay woman. My partner, “Jenny,” and I have been friends with another couple for 15 years. Over the last year I have come to realize that I no longer want to be friends with them. One of them has been particularly unkind to me, and frankly, we don’t have a lot in common. Jenny is uncomfortable with my decision and wants me to talk to them to discuss my feelings. They have already asked her if there’s a problem. If I talk to them, I’m sure they will be offended by what I have to say because I didn’t say anything when the issues first arose. I’m not good at confrontation, and it’s hard for me to tell someone my feelings are hurt. The bottom line is, I want out of this couple’s friendship. But I need to do it in a way that’s OK with Jen. I met the couple through her, and she wants to continue her friendship with them. Please help. — MOVING ON IN GEORGIA

Hardin-Houston Elementary students practice spelling on the “Smart Table.” They are (clockwise from top) Kearsten Wiggins, Jeffrey Leist, Chad Penney and Natalie Valentine.
New Houston school brings new technology Students use latest methods to learn material BY TERRY PELLMAN Ohio Community Media editorial@dailycall.com HOUSTON — The new school facility for the Hardin-Houston district has made it more feasible for the faculty to make use of the cutting-edge “Smart” technology. Already in use at some other local districts, and previously in limited use at HardinHouston, the computerbased resources appear to provide limitless potential for teaching. Teacher Scott Bayless is telling his students of the role of Copernicus and his peers in our understanding of the universe. The “Smart podium” allows him to always face his students, while the machine projects images of the scientific pioneers on a screen. However, also appearing on the screen are notes as he types them. Those notes will be saved on the computer, and Bayless will print them out to be issued to each student to prepare for a quiz later in the week. That quiz will be taken electronically. Each student will use a “Smart response” transmitter to record their answers to the questions, providing Bayless with immediate information on who has learned the material and who may need assistance. Elementary principal Sara Roseberry is enthusiastic about the possibilities presented by the technology. She refers to it as “formative assessment” or “assessing while learning.” The technology allows a teacher to have constant data on how the pupils are doing. Roseberry likes the face-
to-face style of teaching, as well as the interactive learning that takes place. Teachers or students can move materials around the screen rather than fill a blackboard with chalk markings, so that ongoing contact between student and teacher is not interrupted. Greg Young is the district’s technology director. He oversees the implementation of the equipment, and assists teachers in learning its use. Thirty-two Smartpoduims are in use at the school. Teachers are being phased in to make optimal use of the teaching tools and not all have it available this year. Over time, its use will be more universal. To varying degrees, the technology is being used at all grade levels. While older students will answer questions by selecting the correct multiple-choice answer or texting an answer, the kindergartners will perhaps answer by color-code or symbol. A teacher will no longer have to wait to grade a quiz or test to see how much progress is being made. The system provides for immediate data for a class and individual students. Teaching methods can be adapted and individual students can be provided assistance in a discreet manner. One outstanding quality of the technology is that it is so similar to electronic devices used so regularly by many young people, including the parents who have come of age with portable communication devices, texting and so on. Such technology is so universal that students of wide ranges of capability, including those with limited learning capacities, can benefit from the devices. Roseberry believes that students with learning
issues may actually benefit the most. The immediate feedback provided by the system is a valuable incentive and morale booster. Roseberry said that parents are responding positively to the technology. Many have expressed their pleasure at seeing their children progress in reading skills. For example, teachers Bertie Ely and Melissa Bowers are making use of the technology to assist students who need assistance in that area. Learning to read with the new technology begins early. Eager kindergarten students in Jill Burks’ class sit around a “Smart table.” A set of incomplete words is displayed to each, and they move letters around the tabletop screen into the word needing that letter to be complete. In science class, they can separate pictures of things that are living versus nonliving. Countless programs are available, and lessons can be custom-programmed. Roseberry explains that technology is moving toward the point of having electronic textbooks replace the conventional paper books. Not only does this eliminate the bulk, but also electronic books can be easily updated. For example, Schools would no longer have to supplement or replace history books as time progresses. Roseberry adds that a few years out, state testing will be conducted by similar technology. Schools not using such resources could be at a major disadvantage. The principal adds that the one disadvantage to the technology is that if a student must change to a setting in which it is not available, there can be major disappointment and drop in enthusiasm. After all, pencils and paper are now so 20th century.
Writing this from my school’s conference night, and going through plans in the midst of a unit spent studying Salinger’s “The Catcher in the Rye,” my brain has almost completely switched to full-on Holden Caulfield mode. See, normally I shoot the old bull for a while at the beginning of these articles. I chew the rag a bit on any given subject before moving on to the news I have been given since the last article. But this time, I have so much news to report, I really do. So I will just get started with it. It’s kind of funny, in a way. The Fields of Grace Worship Center is a church that is gathering a lot of steam in Covington, and I have some information about it, courtesy of Sherry Furrow: “We are non-denominational and are currently meeting in the Eagles Hall every Sunday at 9:30 am,” she told me in an email. “We have a building across from Market Fresh and will be moving to our new location the first Sunday in March. We currently have an average of 170 people who attend on a Sunday morning. We are a congregation of all ages with the majority being young. We offer a contemporary and casual worship environment with up-todate and relevant messages. You can visit our website if you would like to check us out further.” To check out the website, go to fieldsofgracewc.com. You can also find them on Facebook. In the past nine months,
KYLE MOORE Columnist Fields of Grace has served 1,572 people in their outreach ministries, not counting their continuous donations to the COA and the schools. Their first outreach was a community Easter egg hunt, at the Covington Park, which drew 300 people. The second was a community trick or treat, held behind the elementary school, with 700-800 in attendance. And at a community Thanksgiving dinner several weeks ago, in conjunction with the Covington Eagles, they served 622 dinners. In their first bit of news, Fields of Grace and the Covington Eagles would like to thank everyone who came to the community Thanksgiving dinner. They were happy to serve so many, and they feel blessed that they were able to do so. Consider checking them out, and continue to look for news from Fields of Grace here in this column.

Conservancy District dams prevent flooding despite heavy rainfall FOR THE DAILY CALL
MIAMI VALLEY — More than 55 inches of rain have fallen in the Great Miami River Watershed this year — 17 inches more than the average annual precipitation. And the good news is that the region’s riverfront cities have not flooded, Miami Conservancy District officials said. All five of the Miami Conservancy District dams are currently storing water that otherwise would flood cities along the Great Miami River. Piqua, Troy, Tipp City, Dayton, West Carrollton, Miamisburg, Franklin, Middletown and Hamilton are protected from flooding by MCD’s integrated system of dams and levees.

HOROSCOPE Monday, Dec. 12, 2011 Even though your earning potential looks pretty good in the year ahead, if you’re not careful, you may be extravagant and end up broke. Keep everything in proper perspective so that you’ll end up with a profit. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Take nothing for granted and probe deeply when assessing any business dealings. Things could be far more complicated than they appear on the surface. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Don’t allow yourself to be unduly influenced by the advice and opinions of some flamboyant friends, especially if it causes you to ignore your own instinctual judgment. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Fatigue after a busy weekend could cause you to let your attention span and work habits slip somewhat. Remember, carelessness increases the chances of mishap. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — Don’t put yourself in a position where you have to gamble on the abilities and/or skills of another. If they can’t live up to what’s necessary, you’ll go down with them. ARIES (March 21-April 19) — It behooves you to get jobs you dislike out of the way first, while you have the energy to handle your disdain for doing them. They’ll be 10 times harder to do when you’re bushed. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — What you say and what you mean are likely to be two totally different things, especially if you’re playing games with yourself. Be honest with others and with yourself. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — It isn’t likely to be a particular expenditure that throws your budget out of kilter; it’s apt to be all the little, thoughtless purchases that cause a ruckus. Try to be more careful. CANCER (June 21-July 22) — Unless you’re just openly playing around with friends, sincerity is always essential when dealing with others. Shrewd ploys will be unmasked and could tarnish your reputation. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Forgo all small talk about things you know should be kept quiet, even when you think no one important is listening. There is always somebody who will squeal and make you look bad. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — It’s foolish to hang out with anyone who historically expects more from you than they’re prepared to give back in return. Someone may take you for everything you’ve got. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Feeling both ambitious and restless at the same time could be cause for concern, because that combination tends to make you spread your forces too thin. You could end up with nothing. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Get your facts straight and don’t jump to conclusions based on juicy but faulty information. Assess developments in a logical, realistic manner, without adding any kind of fanfare. COPYRIGHT 2011 United Feature Syndicate, Inc.

Scammers will send a check and ask the seller to wire the excess through Western Union (possibly for courier fees). The scammer's check is fake and eventually bounces and the seller loses the wired amount. While banks and Western Union branches are trained at spotting fake checks, these types of scams are growing increasingly sophisticated and fake checks often aren't caught for weeks.

IN BRIEF ■ Basketball
Lady Chargers drop game LIVONIA, Mich. — The Edison Community College women’s basketball team dropped a close game with Schoolcraft 6764 Saturday. The Chargers had a chance to tie the game at the end, but couldn’t get a shot off. “We were up early and then they came back,” Edison coach Kim Rank said. “It was a good game. “It was great for Brianna (Innocent) and Kendra (Brunswick) to score the way they did, but we need that third girl in double figures.” Brianna Innocent led Edison with 23 points and Kendra Brunswick scored 16. Edison, 5-3, will play the Rio Grande freshman team tonight. EDISON SCORING Cori Blackburn 2-0-6, Kendra Brunswick 6-0-16, Martina Brady 3-0-8, Lottie Hageman 2-0-4, Jo Steva 2-3-7, Brianna Innocent 8-7-23. Totals: 23-10-64. 3-point field goals — Blackburn (2), Brunswick (4), Brady (2). Records: Edison 5-3.
■ Football
Griffin wins the ‘Heisman’ NEW YORK (AP) — Robert Griffin III is Baylor's Superman and when he won the Heisman Trophy he was wearing the socks to prove it. Who knows? Maybe they even helped him outluck Andrew Luck. The junior quarterback known as RG3 beat out the preseason favorite from Stanford on Saturday night, becoming the first Baylor player to take home college football's most famous trophy. Right before his name was called, Griffin took a deep breath. When it was announced he broke into a bright smile, his face framed by his long braided hair. Then it was hugs all around, for his coaches, his parents, his sister and his fiance. He took a few long strides up to the stage and let out a laugh when he got there, making a joke about the Superman socks — complete with capes on the back — he was wearing before going into his acceptance speech.

Piqua’s Cody Hogston pins Jon Ward of Bethel Tate in the 195-pound semifinals Saturday at the Edgewood Invitational.
Making progress Hogston takes second; Chambers, Pummill third BY ROB KISER Sports Editor rkiser@dailycall.com TRENTON — Piqua wrestling coach Scott Kaye saw improvement from his young wrestlers on a day highlighted by senior Cody Hogston’s second-place finish at the Edgewood Invitational Saturday. “We are continuing to learn and get better,” Kaye said. Hogston had one of the most impressive wins of the day in the 195-pound semifinals and was one of four Piqua wrestlers to record top four finishes. After cruising through pool play with two pins and a bye, Hogston faced Bethel Tate’s Jon Ward in the semifinals. Hogston trailed from the start and was thrown off the mat in the second period, landing on his head. He still trailed 6-3 with less than a minute remaining in the match, when the took down Ward and pinned him with 32 seconds left in the match.
Hogston was pinned in his first championship match appearance by Kaleb Campbell of Dixie in 1:57. “That was a big win for Cody (Hogston),” Kaye said. “That is his highest finish in a tournament. It was good to see him come back from getting banged up. Once he regained his composure, he was able to finish off the match.” Tyler Chambers (152) and Brandon Pummill (182) both advanced to the semifinals before suffering their first losses of the season. Chambers had a perfect day in pool play with three pins, matching him up with eventual champion LaTrell Davis of Middletown in the semifinals. Chambers struggled to get any offense going, before losing 13-6. “Tyler (Chambers) was too worried about what the other guy was going to do instead of wrestling his match,” Kaye said. Chambers came back with a vengeance in the See PIQUA/Page 16

LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — Thomas Robinson scored 21 points, Elijah Johnson added 15 and Kansas never trailed against Ohio State in a 78-67 victory over the Buckeyes, who were without forward Jared Sullinger due to injury. Freshman reserve forward Kevin Young scored a career-high 14 points, and Tyshawn Taylor had nine points and a careerbest 13 assists for the Jayhawks (6-2), who extended their winning streak to 47 games over non-conference opponents at Allen Fieldhouse. William Buford had 17 of his 21 points in the second half for Ohio State (81), which was playing on the road for the first time this season.
Cole Smith (152) went 3-0 overall, while Alex Fries (160) finished with a 4-0 record. Also competing for the Buccs and winning matches were Dustin Freeman (132), D.J. Jennings (145), Gage Looker (160), Garrett Shafer (170) and Jordan Wolfe (285). Covington got off to a nice start on Friday night, going 4-0 overall on the evening. The Buccs had opened
Celina. "Going into the day, with one guy already injured, we took nine bodies with us to wrestle. We finished the day with eight guys for the 14 weight classes," Miami East coach Jason Sroufe said. "We were giving away 30 or 36 points all day. "We won a few head-tohead matches with the bodies we have, though, and that's what we want to do." Allen Seagraves (120) was 5-0 on the day, while Austin Rush (132), Mack Rose (138) and Danny O'Malley (160) were all 3-2. "We started off the day good,” Sroufe said. “We were winning the match against Monroe, and then we got pinned and they took it,. But we started off the day more aggressive, more on cue — we were doing the things we're teaching them. “We've still got a few that need to get that aggressive streak in them. All day, we wrestled well, though. Overall we were pretty pleased with everyone's effort." Miami East travels to Versailles Saturday for another dual tournament, the Versailles Invitational..

Piqua Continued from page 13 third-place match, pinning Robert Kersey of Miamisburg in 2:25. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tyler (Chambers) is tough to beat when he wrestles his match,â&#x20AC;? Kaye said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just wish he had wrestled like that in the semifinals.â&#x20AC;? Pummill faced eventual champion Kevin McGraw of Troy in the semifinals after recording two pins and a major decision in pool play. McGrawâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s escape point in the second period after starting down was the only point for most of the match. With 30 seconds remaining, Pummill made a
move to try and get a reversal. In the scramble, McGraw was able to pin him with three seconds remaining in the match. Pummill won his thirdplace match by forfeit over Brian Huffman of Kings. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Brandon (Pummill) was just worried about he (Kevin McGraw) was going to try and do,â&#x20AC;? Kaye said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;By the end of the match, he was mentally exhausted.â&#x20AC;? Thomas Brown (220) was a pleasant surprise, finishing fourth. Brown also had a perfect day in pool play with three pins, before losing
his semifinal and thirdplace match by pin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He just started practice on Thursday,â&#x20AC;? Kaye said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He showed we definitely have something to work with there. He did (have a good day). Cody Young (130) finished sixth. Hunter Comstock (113) and Drew Durand (285) finished seventh, while Brandon Gist (113) and Jerame Wright (170) finished eighth. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We made some progress, but we still have work to do,â&#x20AC;? Kaye said. Piqua will be back in action Thursday in a doubledual at Eaton.
Lehman is now 2-0 on the season while Newton falls to 1-3. Other than Bobby Gerodimos, who scored all 10 of the Indiansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; points, the first quarter was an offensive struggle for both teams. Newton committed nine turnovers in the period while Lehman hit just one of 10 shots and turned the ball over eight times. Gerodimos made it 13 for 13 with a three-point play to start the second quarter before the Cavaliers scored 11 straight points, four each by Alex Baker and Solomon KingWhite, to take the lead at 17-13 with five minutes remaining. Lehman gradually extended the margin to 10 before Newtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Daniel Vance hit a foul shot with seven seconds left to make it 28-19 at the break. The Indians shot 31 percent in the first half and hit eight of 12 from the foul line while the Cavaliers shot 25 percent, but were also 12 of 21 at the stripe. A 19-4 third quarter run, nine coming from Baker, put Lehman up 4725, but Newton scored 11 unanswered points, including the first eight of the final period, to cut the deficit to 54-41 with still 6:39 to play. Baker, though, scored eight of a Cavalier 10-0 burst to push the lead back up to 23 and the Indians would get no closer than 18 the rest of the way as Lehman tallied the final six points of the contest. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pretty, but it was a win,â&#x20AC;? said Lehman coach Isaiah Williams. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the sen-

We did a better job of slowing things down and running our offense in the second half.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We struggled offensively in the first half, but still defended pretty well and did a good job of getting to the foul line,â&#x20AC;?
added Williams. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had to adjust to the situation and penetrate inside against the zone instead of shooting the three. Once we were able to work inside out and cut down on the turnovers, our offense started to pick up.â&#x20AC;? After shooting 25 percent in the first half, Lehman hit 16 of 33 shots the final two periods, including six of 10 threepointers, to finish at 38 percent for the game. Newton, meanwhile, shot 34 percent. The Cavaliers held a 47-41 rebounding advantage and forced 29 turnovers while committing 18, only six in the second half. Both teams had their struggles at the foul line as Lehman was 20 of 41 compared to 19 of 39 for Newton. Baker led all scorers with 28 for Lehman, 19 of those coming after halftime, while King-White had 13. Ben Thieman gathered in 11 rebounds off the bench. Hodges posted a â&#x20AC;&#x153;double-doubleâ&#x20AC;? of 16 points and 10 rebounds to pace Newton, while Gerodimos had 15, all but two coming in the first half, and Vance had 11. The Cavaliers host a pair of games this weekend, taking on Miami East on Friday and Riverside on Saturday.
