PIQUA — Dick Lumpkin’s Auto Body Inc. is now officially a three–generation family business with the addition of Cody Lumpkin, founder Dick Lumpkin’s grandson.

“I’m excited. I don’t have to think about what I want to do in the future; I already got a plan figured out,” said Cody Lumpkin, 17, when asked how it makes him feel to be joining the family business. He explained his plan is studying business at Wright State University after graduating high school next year.

Cody’s father, Mike Lumpkin, said that there is a lot for his son to learn about the business.

“He has to learn the steps of the back (garage); get a feel for each step and what it takes to do that procedure, and then I see him up front doing customer service, paperwork, and stuff like that,”

Mike Lumpkin said he had mixed feelings about his son joining the business.

“In a way, I was glad that he wanted to do it, but in a way, I didn’t want him to do it because we do put in a lot of hours,” he’s said. “You know, it’s a changing thing just from when I started, till now.

I can only imagine in 30 or 40 years what the differences are going to be.”

Change, indeed. Dick Lumpkin said that his business has seen many changes since its inception in the early 1960s when it opened on North See Biz/Page 6

INET no longer free offering to city

BY BETHANY J. ROYER Staff writer broyer@dailycall.com PIQUA — Thanks, or no thanks to Senate Bill 117 signed by then-Gov. Ted Strickland back in 2007 a new, state-issued video-authorization process replaced the local cable television franchise process.

The new law gave the Department of Commerce jurisdiction over cable television providers. It also allowed a local cable franchise to apply for a state-issued cable authorization, rather than having to apply for each municipality or township. It’s something that Time Warner did in February 2010 for the city of Piqua and as such was granted a Video Service

Agreement or VSA. This new franchise agreement with the state replaced the previous local agreement which required Time Warner to provide an Institutional Network or INET free to the city of Piqua, a service that has been provided since 1999.

However, with the new agreement, and after recent notification from Time

Warner, INET will no longer be provided free to the city of Piqua.

Piqua was one of only a handful of communities in the area still receiving free access to INET and as of Jan. 1, 2012, a negotiated fee of $4,137.45 will be billed monthly to the city to continue the service. A service that the city has been using for nearly 13 years and has

become an integral part of the city’s technological infrastructure.

To choose another type of connection or reconfigure the city’s infrastructure would by no means be an easy endeavor that could include additional expenses, even new equipment.

Let’s have a happy 2012 recycling year!

Sponsored by Miami County Solid Waste District

Waste Reduction Tips for the Holidays Americans throw away 25 percent more trash during the holidays than any other time of year. The extra waste amounts to 25 million tons of garbage, or about one million extra tons per week. Much of the 28 billion pounds of edible food thrown away each year is wasted during the holiday season.

There are many things you can do to reduce the amount of waste generated during the holidays. The tips below cover a wide variety of things you can do from reducing paper products used to changing your gift-giving focus.

• Buy holiday cards made from recycled paper or make your own creative cards on recycled paper.

• Reuse packaging cartons and shipping materials.

• Buy outdoor light strands that are wired in parallel. If one bulb goes bad, the others still work, so you won’t be throwing away “bad” strands.

• Put all your lights on timers for energy savings and peace of mind while you’re away.

• Use those tins you’ve been saving for gift boxes.

• Plan ahead. Making a list will save time, money and last-minute shopping frenzies.

• Keep it simple: one thoughtful gift is better than six wrapped packages of unwanted gifts.

• Let children know that what you really want does not have to come from a store. Their time is even more valuable. Children can give coupons for their time as Christmas presents in ways such as taking on extra chores, cooking dinners, watching a younger sibling or giving plenty of hugs and kisses.

• Give the gift of an experience — music lessons, lessons for a new hobby, a massage, a trip to a state park, or tickets to a sporting event or play. This is perfect for friends who want to try something

new but aren’t willing to spend the money on themselves. Plus, you don’t have to wrap the gift.

• Give a monetary donation to a local charity in someone else’s name. Many people feel good knowing that they are helping out someone during the holidays.

• Invest in your family and friends. Instead of giving a gift, contribute to a child’s savings account, education IRA or give them a U.S. Savings Bond.

• Don’t wrap oversized gifts.

Hide them and give the recipient clues. Make the search a treasure hunt.

• Make the wrapping a useful part of the gift; put cookies in a flower pot or hide jewelry in a new pair of gloves or socks. Just make sure that the receiver finds the gift if it’s hidden!

• Thousands of paper and plastic shopping bags end up in landfills every year. Reduce the number of bags thrown out by bringing reusable cloth bags for holiday gift shopping. Tell store clerks you don't need a bag for small or oversized purchases.

• About 40 percent of all battery sales occur during the holiday season. Buy rechargeable batteries to accompany your electronic gifts, and consider giving a battery charger as well. Rechargeable batteries reduce the amount of potentially harmful materials thrown away, and can save money in the long run.

• Turn off or unplug holiday lights during the day. Doing so will not only save energy, but will also help your lights last longer.

• Approximately 33 million live Christmas trees are sold in North America every year. After the holidays, look for ways to recycle your tree instead of sending it to a landfill. The Miami County Transfer Station will take trees after the holi-

days free for disposal.

• To help prevent waste from cutting down and disposing of live trees, you can buy a potted tree and plant it after the holidays.

• Have a create-your-own-decorations party! Invite family and friends to create and use holiday decorations such as ornaments made from old greeting cards or cookie dough, garlands made from strung popcorn or cranberries, wreaths made from artificial greens and flowers, and potpourri made from kitchen spices such as cinnamon and cloves.

• Consider the durability of a product before you buy it as a gift.

Cheaper, less durable items often wear out quickly, creating waste and costing you money.

• When buying gifts, check product labels to determine an item's recycleability and whether it is made from recycled materials.

Buying recycled encourages manufacturers to make more recycledcontent products available.

• When shipping, reuse foam peanuts or other packaging materials.

• Use reusable grocery and shopping bags and make sure to recycle the non-reusable ones.

Use rechargeable batteries for cameras, flashlights, etc.

If you have several events or parties in a short amount of time buy food items in bulk. You will save a trip to the grocery and use less packaging!

Instead of buying new items (Ex. A dress for a party, more chairs, etc.) consider borrowing or renting things.

Compost your leftover food- it’s easy and a great fertilizer!

Save all gift-wrapping and decorations to reuse later or wrap gifts in old maps, posters, sheet music, fabric scraps or wallpaper scraps.

Did You Know?

Other items to consider for the environment: Energy Conservation • Make sure to turn off or unplug holiday decorations when they are not in use.

• Be sure holiday decorations are not placed on or obstructing air vents.

• When cooking, use your microwave oven as much as possible or plan your oven baking to avoid continuously reheating the oven.

• Reduce your light display by one or two strands. You may not even notice the subtle change.

Water Conservation • Defrost frozen items in the refrigerator, not under running water.

• Run only full loads in the washing machine and dishwater.

• When washing dishes keep washing soap usage to a minimum. It helps reduce the amount of rinse water needed.

• Don’t run the kitchen faucet continuously while washing dishes.

• Let pots and pans soak instead of letting the water run while you clean them.

• Minimize the number of dishes used at holiday parties.

• An estimated 2.6 billion holiday cards are sold each year in the United States, enough to fill a football field 10 stories high. Electronic holiday greeting cards, offered through a variety of websites, are a convenient, no-cost, waste-free alternative.

• It’s estimated that between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day, more than 1 million tons of additional waste is generated each week nationwide. In fact, 38,000 miles of ribbon alone is thrown out each year — enough to tie a bow around the Earth.

• Using LED holiday lights during the holidays uses about 99 percent less energy than larger, traditional holiday bulbs and last up to 100,000 hours when used indoors.

INRUSGE Sock Snowman

by Amanda Formaro

What You Need • men's over the calf tube socks • clean cat litter • 3 plastic recloseable bags • 3 buttons • material with a holiday pattern • white yarn • 1 red jingle bell • 3 black plastic gems, beads, or dots What you do Using clean cat litter, fill each plastic bag and seal, each one having less litter than the other so that you end up with three different sizes. Put the largest sealed bag inside the tube sock.

Push the bag all the way to the bottom (toe) of the sock. Put the medium sized bag inside the sock and then the smallest bag on top. Carefully lay the sock on its side so that it is easier to work with. Tie a piece of white yarn in between each litter bag, creating the snowman's sections. There

should be one piece of yarn tied over each bag. You should still have the top of the sock left, approximately 3"-5" in length.

Stand the snowman up and move the body sections around until he is in a standing position and can remain that way on his own. Fold the top of the sock down to form a cap and to cover the top piece of white yarn. Using pinking shears cut a strip of holiday fabric and tie around the hat. Glue the red jingle bell in place on the tied material.

Cut another strip of material and tie around the neck to fashion a scarf. Cut three squares out of the fabric and glue in different spots on the snowman's body (see photo). Glue a button to each material patch. Glue the black beads in place for eyes and nose.

Message Continued from page 1 holidays for a combined 106 hours of overtime. The additional deputies will be targeting high crash roadways and roadways that have high rates of O.V.I. arrests.

The deputies will be strictly enforcing all Ohio traffic statutes with a zero tolerance for violators.

“We will be out in force and will have upped patrols and we will be looking for those who are drinking and driving and enforce a zero tolerance for traffic violations,” Duchak said.

Deputies will have a zero tolerance for traffic violations and no warnings will be issued during the traffic blitz. A primary goal will be to remove alcohol and drug impaired drivers from county roadways. There is usually an increase in alcohol consumption over the

holidays, which invariably leads to auto crashes.

Deputies are hoping to curb auto crashes with the deployment of extra deputies on various days and at various time frames throughout the holiday season.

If one chooses to drink this holiday season have a designated driver or expect to go to jail if caught driving impaired on Miami County roadways.

The extra traffic enforcement effort is being made possible through a grant the Sheriff’s Office received this year from the Ohio Office of Criminal Justice Services.

The grant funds the overtime for the deputies and pays some fuel costs.

This marks the seventh consecutive year the sheriff’s Office has been awarded the grant which is funded by federal dollars and administered by the state.

Biz Continued from page 1 County Road 25-A. “Doing work to clean up cars for local dealerships,” the elder Lumpkin said of the original scope of the shop.

Later, the business moved downtown to Main Street, while gradually increasing their services to include what is now known as their signature services of collision repair and paint.

Then around 2001, the business moved to its current located at 150 R.M. Davis Parkway, where they do every type of auto repair, from rebuilding motors to tire work. They also provide

towing services, and even offer loaner cars to their customers whose vehicles are under repair.

The changes in technology also have been dramatic from the time that Mike Lumpkin joined the business until now. He said that the way that a car is repaired “changes daily,” which indicates the importance of ongoing training to remain current in their industry.

All of Dick Lumpkin’s auto bodyspecialistsareI-CarGold Class certified and their mechanicsareASEcertified,both ofwhichprovidethenecessary continuous training required

for remaining up-to-date in the field of collision and mechanical repairs.

Mike Lumpkin said that Dick Lumpkin’s Auto Body is among “less than 3 percent of service centers in Ohio to receive the triple banner award fromAAA,”which honors outstanding work for service centers that provide mechanical, collision and towing services.

Dick Lumpkin’s Auto Body also uses a direct repair system, which means that they work directly with insurance companies to ensure “ease for the customer.”

“Our goal is to keep growing,” said Mike Lumpkin,

who considers their business special since they “don’t really know of any other business around with three generations.” He also said it is also his belief that his son Cody’s goal,as a third-generation-owner, is to “to continue on with the family tradition to keep it going.”

graduation to Memorial Day Saturday — like it used to be.

Another advantage to Draft B is that the school is air conditioned so this will give some kids a chance to get out of the heat. However, Draft B would shorten the summer break this year.

According to Athletic Director Dusty Yingst, Draft B will also allow for the more than 300 students who participate in spring/summer sports to be out of school earlier, and will not interfere with the fall sports schedule.

Both Draft calendars can be found on the Bradford School website.

According to Patrick, One-Call Now participants will be surveyed for a preference after school resumes in Jan. Patrick will also survey the Students concerning participation in the fairs.

Patrick will submit the results to the board during its regular meeting on Jan. 11. The board will approve only one of the drafts during that meeting.

Other items: • Board approved $1665 for elementary and $5145 for the high school

yearbooks- to be paid to Walsworth Yearbook.

• Voted to oppose House Bill 136 (school choice) which “seeks to transfer public dollars to support private education” according to the Board resolution passed.

• Appointed Maria Brewer to the two year term, JVS Liaison Officer.

• Agreed to continue the board compensation as $1500 per year as required by the Ohio Revised Code. No additional money is available for training.

•Rescheduled the board work session (from December) to 5:30 p.m. Jan. 25. The board will be working on the superintendent’s job description and evaluation. The board will also hold an executive session on Jan.25 to discuss personnel.

The Board’s organizational meeting will be at 6 p.m. Jan. 11 Jan 11 with the regular meeting to follow.

Dr. Scott Swabb, board president, reminded everyone present that “all meetings, except executive meetings, are open to the public.” For any questions, please contact the board’s email on the school’s site.

BRADFORD — During its meeting Wedneday night, the Bradford Board of Education received donations, heard from students, recognized students and discussed the 2012-13 calendar.

The board thanked the Covington Eagles for their support of Bradford School District. The Covington Eagles have paid for the One-Call Now system for Bradford Schools for several years and have agreed to continue.

“The One-Call Now system is used to reach over 1,200 staff, parents and community members,” Superintendent Jeff Patrick said.

The Covington Eagles have also provided nearly $1500 for field trip funding and $2000 toward scholarships.

The board also thanked the Miami County Foundation, who paid for the fifth-grade Bruckner Nature Center field trips.

“This has been a tradition since I was in school here.” Patrick said.

Another tradition is for the board to hear a presentation from some of the students who went on the eighth-grade trip to Washington D.C. The board saw a brief PowerPoint presentation put together by Drew Patty, Nick Hoover and Rebekah Lavey.

Each student talked about the sites they saw on the various days of the trip and then talked about their favorite spot. Hoover liked Madam Trousseau’s

Wax Museum; while Lavey liked Arlington Cemetery and Patty’s favorite was the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.

The board also heard from several of the chaperones about how well behaved all of the students were and the compliments they had received from other groups. The board and administration commended the students who were present.

The board also recognized four students for their spelling bee skills — elementary spelling bee champion Larkin Painter, fifth grader, and runnerup Karmen Knepp, also a fifth grader: junior high spelling bee champion Maia Stump, sixth grader, and junior high runnerup Mandi Bates, seventh grader. They will all represent Bradford during the Darke County Spelling Bee on Jan. 19 at Arcanum High School.

A lengthy discussion was had concerning the two proposed 2012-13 school calendars which were presented by Patrick to the board and all present.

Under Draft A, school would start Aug. 27 and the last day of school would be May 31. Under Draft B, classes would begin on Aug. 13 and the last day would be May 21.

According to Patrick, the main differences (other than the start and ending dates) are that Draft B gives teachers eight more instructional days before the state tests, allows for the first semester to end before the winter break, and moves

ago, despite lashing rains and wind.

“We wanted to be part of the action,” said Don Moore, 41, a psychology professor from Berkeley, California, who came to Bethlehem with his family. “This is the place, this is where it all started. It doesn’t get any more special than that.”

The holy town of Bethlehem is no stranger to violence. Like the rest of the West Bank, it fell on hard times after the Palestinian uprising against Israeli occupation broke out in late 2000.

But as the violence has subsided, tourists have returned in large numbers. On Saturday, turnout for Christmas Eve festivities in Bethlehem was at its highest since the uprising began driving tourists away. An estimated 100,000 visitors streamed into Manger Square on Christmas Eve, up from 70,000 the previous year, according to the Israeli military’s count.

Callista Gingrich steps up her presence in race

BY SHANNON MCCAFFREY MOUNT PLEASANT, Iowa (AP) When his top aides walked out this spring and left his campaign in tatters, Newt Gingrich considered dropping out. But he says it was his wife, Callista, who persuaded him to soldier on.

“She told me to stay in the race,” Gingrich said recently in eastern Iowa.

He listened.

Now as voting nears in the race to decide the Republican presidential nominee, Callista Gingrich has stepped up her presence on the campaign trail, especially in Iowa where social conservatives hold powerful sway. A visible reminder of her twice-divorced husband’s past infidelity, she simultaneously serves as a symbol of his devotion to family. She gives some conservatives pause, and others assurance.

The Gingrich camp is betting that anyone who doubts whether the former House speaker truly has mended his ways need only look to his wife, who stands at his side, ramrod straight and smiling. Prim and petite with striking platinum-blonde hair, the campaign is dispatching her strategically: She appears with her husband, more than 20 years her senior, in a cheery Christmas campaign television ad, and the two frequently host his-and-her book signings after campaign events.

Her children’s book about Ellis, a patriotic elephant that loves American history conveniently hit The New York Times best-seller list as her husband’s White House bid was starting to take off. She is featured prominently on his website. And it is rare for Newt Gingrich to deliver remarks that aren’t sprinkled with references to “Callista and I.” His devotion to her is apparent, some say distracting to his White House bid. As his poll numbers started to waver last weekend, he left the campaign trail in Iowa to take a seat at a holiday concert in Virginia, where she played the French horn.

Callista Gingrich was linked to upheaval early in the campaign. It was jewelry Gingrich bought for her that spurred days of bad press coverage focused on a no-interest line of credit at Tiffany’s worth up to $500,000, reinforcing the image that he’s out of touch with regular people smarting from the economic downturn. His trip with her to the Greek isles fueled the idea that he wasn’t taking the campaign seriously.

Aides who fled the campaign earlier this year pointed to Callista Gingrich as the source of the tension between her husband and his staff.

Still, his rebound would seem to give credence to her value as a trusted adviser.

Yet for all her time in the public eye, she is largely unknown, having granted few interviews and rarely speaking from the podium at her husband’s events. She works the crowd afterward, instead, posing for photos and shaking hands.

“I think she’s just lovely,” said 62-year-old Janet McDonald, after shaking Mrs. Gingrich’s hand at a Hy-Vee Grocery Store in Mount Pleasant during a recent Iowa campaign swing. “They may not have started out right.

But if they have made their peace with God, than there really is nothing else I need to know.”

Gingrich, 68, has acknowledged having an extramarital affair with the woman who is now his third wife when he was speaker of the House and she worked for the House Agriculture Committee.

MAQUOKETA, Iowa (AP) — It’s usually a lowkey, even quiet affair.

Ron Paul enters a room almost furtively, his narrow shoulders hunched as he takes the stage. For 30 minutes, he delivers something close to an academic lecture on monetary policy, the dangers of overseas military entanglements, the power of the free market and, of course, the importance of freedom.

“You have a right to your life, a right to your liberty and the right to the fruits of you labor so you can keep what you earn,” he says to cheers.

The crowd large by Iowa standards in a Republican presidential race listens, rapt. The Texas congressman takes questions and poses for a few photos, then disappears behind a door.

A Paul campaign rally is a decidedly strippeddown affair, with few signs, no theme song and a candidate more comfortable discussing a return to the gold standard than glad-handing. His libertarian message, given little attention nationally for most of his long political career, has struck a chord this year with voters angry over bank bailouts, government dysfunction and the burgeoning federal debt.

Voters seem to like what they hear, and some are even flirting with the notion that this unorthodox congressman could be in the White House. Polls find Paul topping the GOP field in Iowa less than two weeks before the state’s kickoff caucuses his unconventional campaign attracting a coalition of tea party supporters, students and political independents looking for a candidate who can beat President Barack Obama.

“He’s the only consistent conservative out there,” said J.C. Weiand, a law student who attended a Paul rally in Fort Madison. “For 30 years, he’s been preaching the same message. Now his time has finally come.”

Voters largely tuned Paul out in 2008, when he placed a distant fifth in Iowa despite robust fundraising and a small but fiercely loyal grassroots base. Campaigning across eastern Iowa this week, the 76-year old former obstetrician says the political environment has changed over four years.

If you have no union representation, keep it to yourself. I see nothing to be gained by blabbing about this to your coworkers.

DEAR ABBY: While driving the streets and highways, we communicate in many ways with our fellow commuters. We can wave, give a “thumbs up,” lay on the horn or, in slow traffic, shout out the window with curses or blessings. More often than a “single-finger not, salute” is flashed in anger, and that sometimes turns into road rage.

Instead, we should drive the same way our lives should be lived — with compassion, consideration, attention and awareness of our fellow travelers. When we make mistakes, we should be repentant and signal an “I’m sorry.”

Abby, I’m at a loss for a hand signal for “I’m sorry.”

Any suggestions?

Siblings Gustavo, 13, behind left, Angie, 10, center, and Abelardo, 15, of the Vazquez Sounds band, perform at their father's office in Mexicali, Mexico, Thursday Dec. 22, 2011. The trio posted a cover of Adele's "Rolling in the Deep" on Youtube on Nov. 11, drawing almost 18 million views, interviews on Mexico's major television networks and a mention on Good Morning America. Within weeks of its posting, the Vazquez Sounds signed a contract with Sony Music Mexico.

Kid band Vazquez Sounds takes Mexico by storm E. NATALIA CANO Associated Press MEXICO CITY (AP) — Ten-year-old Angie Vazquez has become an Internet phenom belting out a soulful cover of Brit pop star Adele’s “Rolling in the Deep.” In an online video seemingly shot at home, her teenage brothers Abelardo and Gustavo play the keyboard, guitar and drums.

The video drew almost 18 million views, interviews on Mexico’s major television networks and a mention on Good Morning America. Within weeks of its Nov. 11 posting, the socalled Vazquez Sounds signed a contract with Sony Music Mexico. They released their first album this week that includes another Internet smash cover, of Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas is You.” Their nearly overnight success online evokes the now legendary saga of Canadian ‘tween idol Justin Bieber, who was discovered after his mother posted online amateur footage of him crooning and strumming.

involvement in music, which has been going on for years now, would continue without affecting their lifestyle.”

Vazquez said other record companies had expressed interest, but Sony was the only one that met his conditions for the kids.

Cynics note that Sony is also the label that signed some of Vazquez’s other acts.

The CD includes the original cover of “Rolling in the Deep,” a remix of that crowd pleaser and, at least in its online version, a more wobbly cover of the Mariah Carey song. Coincidentally, it’s the same song Bieber included in his holiday season “Under the Mistletoe” disc.

In the meantime, the Vazquez Sounds have been invited to perform on television programs in the United States, Italy and England.

But they can pick and choose.

“The kids are not obligated to do promotional work like other acts,” said the elder Vazquez. “We want them to live a life like any other child their age.”

years,” the father said.

When the video sparked interest in a few million people beyond the Vazquez’s immediate circle, the decision to cut a CD was natural, Vazquez said.

He added that he retains total control over the project, and Sony music is working as a distributor.

“The contract with Sony isn’t the traditional type,” Vazquez said. “It isn’t the typical contract with record companies, in which they used to control the artists’ career. This is a family project.”

Although Vazquez has had an eight-year relationship with Sony, Roberto Lopez, president of the label, said he and his team were unaware of the Vazquez Sounds and first heard the group like everyone else — on the Internet.

Working with such a young group poses special challenges and “very strong personal care,” Lopez said.

“It is something special because they are children, and we want them to stay in school,” he said. “The agreement was that their

SATURDAY’S SOLUTION

“We make a lot of videos of a lot of things, but my son Abelardo wanted to record this song and share it with friends and family,” said father Abelardo Vazquez in a telephone interview from the family’s hometown of Mexicali, on the California border. “We really didn’t expect the cover to become such a phenomenon on the Web.” Before you call the Vazquez clan Mexico’s version of Bieber-mania, consider this: The elder Abelardo Vazquez is a professional music producer instrumental in creating the sound of well-known Mexican bands such as Reik and Nikki Clan, also from the border.

The videos of Angie and her brothers in their home studio are also professionally produced, mixed and lighted, with slick camera work.

Abelardo Vazquez says he’s not driving his kids into the music business, though he acknowledges they’ve had a leg up.

“My kids have had a musical education since they were very young, because I have worked producing groups for many

You might wonder how declarer made four spades doubled on this deal — as can be seen, he seems certain to lose three diamonds and a trump trick.

But South made the contract, and it all came about in a perfectly simple way.

The hand was played in the 1978 World Open Pair Championship in New Orleans.

Declarer was Brazilian star Pedro-Paul Assumpcao, and he got to four spades on the bidding shown. North’s opening diamond bid was systemically correct in the methods used by the Brazilian pair, but it no doubt induced Assumpcao’s bold four-spade bid on the second round.

It did not take long for declarer to find the winning line of play. He won the heart lead with the ace and led dummy’s jack of diamonds at trick two.

It is hard to blame East for covering the jack with the queen; certainly most players would have done exactly as he did.

But the effect of covering the jack was catastrophic. West was forced to win his partner’s queen with the ace, and he shifted to a low club.

Assumpcao won with dummy’s ace and led the queen of spades, losing to West’s king. Back came another club, taken with the queen. A low trump lead from dummy caught East’s jack, and when declarer returned to dummy with a trump and led the seven of diamonds through EastK-8-4, the battle was over. Declarer’s only losers were two diamonds and a trump.

Assumpcao’s jack-ofdiamonds play at trick two had everything to gain and nothing to lose.

He gave East an opportu®

nity to go wrong — and he did. Plays like this — aimed at exploiting the defenders’ inability to see each other’s cards — sometimes enable declarer to make a contract that could not otherwise be made.

DEAR ABBY: I work in an educational setting where the emphasis is on accountability, responsibility and being a good role model. I made a terrible decision two years ago and received a DUI while out of town. I’m still ashamed of my choices that night.

I accepted all responsibility and completed the necessary requirements through the courts. However, since then I have dreaded someone at work finding out and losing the job I love. Do I talk to my HR department or confess to my supervisor? Or do I just keep it to myself and hope no one finds out?

Diabetes doesn’t stop Russia runner Nichols logs 40-60 miles per week

BY TERRY PELLMAN Ohio Community Media

TERRY PELLMAN/OHIO COMMUNITY MEDIA PHOTO

Teacher Michelle Foster displays sponsored wall blocks in the hall at HardinHouston School. The block she is pointing to is in memory of long-time elementary principal Bob Borchers.

School wall blocks serve dual purpose

BY TERRY PELLMAN Ohio Community Media HOUSTON — A fundraising effort on behalf of the future athletic complex at Hardin-Houston School is serving more than one purpose.

Donors have purchased hallway blocks engraved in various ways, and soon engraved paver blocks will adorn the approach to the school building’s main entrance.

The revenue will assist in bringing the project closer to a beginning. The recognition of the district’s heritage and acknowledgement of many to whom the district was (or is) a part of their lives cannot be measured in dollars and cents.

The school does not have a track and field facility to hold a sanctioned meet. In addition, the school softball team has had to play its games at the Hardin site. Now that all grades are at Houston, a fundraising effort is under way to hold all athletic events on the school grounds.

Michelle Foster and Andrew Kunert are heading up the effort. Foster is a member of the school faculty.

To save money, the district decided to make use of the gymnasium that was already in place at the Houston site. That structure had to be joined to the new school by a hallway. The result is a space that mixes a recognition of the past with the future of the school.

One wall contains the embedded concrete markers that greeted visitors to the former Hardin and Houston school buildings.

A few feet closer to the entrance to the gymnasium, one comes to walls covered with the inscribed blocks.

The sandblasted blocks are inscribed in a number of ways: There are memorials to those who have died, while others simply name those who have helped to support the cause. There are tributes to classes from teachers and expressions of faith.

Others name businesses that have contributed and some are adorned by the image of a Wildcat or a fe-

line paw print. The inscriptions must simply be of a word count that craftsman Roger Sidle can fit onto the block.

Foster said of the blocks, “I think it’s nice, because it’s going to be such a lasting part of the community.”

Kunert is also enthusiastic about the project. He noted that response from the public has been very positive, enhancing pride in the community. He added that since the wall blocks are in place, the public will appreciate the paver project.

The original deadline for sponsoring blocks was moved back due to construction issues, and the cut-off was in October. As the public awareness grew, there were more inquiries. There are now more than 86 inscribed blocks in place. If sufficient interest is shown, another section of wall could be used for that purpose. It is also possible that a way to engrave blank blocks already in place will be found.

A new opportunity is the chance to sponsor the 4-by-8-inch paver blocks that will be placed at the approach to the building’s main entrance. Although smaller, they will also be engraved, and Foster ex-

pects that as many as 1,300 will be available.

Kunert said 50 have already been reserved. As they are obtained, current pavers will be taken up and replaced by engraved ones.

Interested parties can contact Michelle Foster at 498-0332 or Andrew Kunert at 295-9804 to inquire about making a donation through sponsoring a wall block or paver. For a wall block, the donation is $250, and for a paver block, $50. If you are interested in a paver block, the school website has a form that can be downloaded and filled out. The form for the wall block will be posted at a later date.

The web address is www.houston.k12oh.us/.

There will also be a “ball drop” on Feb. 4 on the evening of the HoustonAnsonia boys basketball game. Proceeds from that event will also benefit the Athletic Complex fund.

Check the school website for information on that as well.

There is also an ongoing pledge drive for donations to the general Athletic Complex project. Foster said that next to the corporate donation from Emerson, the wall blocks have been their largest fundraiser.

Ryan Nichols heads out on a run. Despite having Type 1 diabetes, he puts in 40 to 60 miles a week.

12 years. He decided that an insulin pump would be the most convenient manner of controlling his medication. He explained that his variety of diabetes is often referred to as “juvenile diabetes,” although his onset came about at age 24.

Nichols hopes to help others, especially youth, to understand that, even with Type 1 diabetes, you can do anything. He emphasized that you must monitor your levels and eat properly. In doing so, and following the instructions of an endocrinologist, a diabetic of that level need not be limited in activities.

Not only does Nichols take his diabetes in stride, he actually sees it as a blessing. He doubted that he would be in the physical condition he now enjoys without the incentive to watch his health provided by the condition.

“It forced me to start exercising,” he said.

He felt that at 36, he is in the best shape he has ever enjoyed.

Nichols recently joined an organization named TeamType1.org.

The group promotes awareness of Type 1 diabetes, including taking part in running events and public speaking. That group recently sent Nichols and 10

others to Tucson, Ariz., to take part in the Tucson Marathon. The same organization is beginning a cycling team, and the goal is to one day enter riders in the Tour de France.

One member of the organization climbed Mount Everest. Taking part in such group activities provided Nichols with the experience of being around a group of athletes monitoring blood-sugar levels and chatting about their insulin pumps.

Nichols stressed the importance of young diabetics keeping a positive attitude, and not allowing themselves to become accustomed to feeling different and unnecessarily restricted.

Nichols pointed out that some people with diabetes will feel defeated by the condition when they could be pursuing their goals. For him, the daily adjustments are now routine and “not much different than brushing my teeth.”

The ongoing testing and administration of insulin are just part of his day. encouraged Nichols people with questions about Type 1 diabetes to visit teamtype1.org to get information.

“If you use proper care and control, you can really do anything with diabetes,” he said.

Sale raises funds, honors district’s heritage

RUSSIA — Ryan Nichols does not allow Type 1 diabetes keep him from enjoying his pastime of running. Outfitted with an insulin pump, the 36year-old Russia man typically racks up around 40 to 60 miles in a week.

Although he did run during conditioning for basketball and baseball while at Russia High School, Nichols did not take up long-distance running until he was almost 30. Now he competes in marathons and halfmarathons when not working in sales at Superior Aluminum in Russia.

The presence of the insulin pump does not hinder his running in any way. The device is not much more cumbersome than what a runner would clip on to listen to music.

The one Nichols uses is around the size of a pager.

Nichols must simply take the same care and attention to the pump as would a nonrunner. For example, he must change the insulin supply in the pump every three days.

There is some special preparation for a runner like Nichols. For example, when starting a run he will take a blood-sugar reading. A level that is too high or too low can result in a lower energy level. If his level is too low, he may consume some carbohydrates. That must be done with care, as to not raise the level too high, resulting in dehydration and a lack of energy. He is aided in that monitoring by a sensor built into his insulin pump.

Nichols has learned that having a cold or being under stress can affect his sugar level. He has learned to make adjustments as required, and go on with his activities. He emphasized that exercise is an important part of that blood-sugar control.

Nichols has been dealing with the condition for

HOROSCOPE Monday, Dec. 26, 2011 It might take some elbow grease, but if you handle things effectively in the year ahead, not only should all go smoothly, it’s likely to be an exceptionally fun time for you as well. Make the most of all your opportunities.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Show a willingness to share not only the work but also the profits with others, as long as you keep your generosity in prudent bounds. If you’re excessive, giver’s remorse will set in.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Provided you have something worthwhile to contribute, it’s OK to take credit for a job well done. However, be honest about others having a big part in the success as well.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — Possessing a tendency to make changes for the sake of change could be one of your weaknesses. Don’t disrupt situations that are running smoothly, especially where your work is concerned.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) — Conditions might be a tad more uncertain than usual. Even if you’re a winner in one sense, you could be a loser in another. Once you’ve got your hands on something good, hang on tight.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — You should take care to not be so concerned with your position that you have little concern for anybody else’s.

Your good luck could depend on the selection of the right partner.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — You might not be able to help it, but the ability to keep a secret isn’t likely to be one of your stronger attributes. A manipulator who recognizes this may take advantage of you.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) — Being prone to hold a grudge could make you your own worst “frenemy.” Be careful, because you could easily make matters worse by doing whatever you can to get even.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Although you’ll be well received by friends and strangers alike, you could put a damper on things through self-sabotage. Thoughtless behavior would cause others to think again.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — How well you adjust to shifting conditions will determine your success in the long run. Be prepared to accept what occurs and be able to make the necessary changes swiftly and with conviction.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — You should be able to keep any erratic conditions that pop up under control by not allowing emotional concerns to distort your thinking. Stay focused.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Because feelings can run high, even inadvertently harsh words could easily ignite an argument between you and your mate or special someone. Don’t defend a foolish stance.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — As long as you can assign some of the dirty jobs to others, you’ll do well.

However, it could be another story if and when you have to depend totally on yourself.

The City of Piqua has prepared an Environmental Review Record (ERR) for each of the projects listed above. The ERR(s) documents the environmental review of the project(s). The ERR(s) is (are) on file and available for the public’s examination and copying, upon request, between the hours of 8 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday (except holidays) at the above address.

The City of Piqua plans to undertake the project(s) described above with the Federal funds cited above. Any interested person, agency, or group wishing to comment on the project(s) may submit written comments for consideration to the City of Piqua at the above listed address prior to January 3, 2012.

The City of Piqua certifies to the State of Ohio that Gary Huff, in his capacity as City Manager, consents to accept the jurisdiction of Federal courts if an action is brought to enforce responsibilities in relation to the environmental review process and that these responsibilities have been satisfied.

The legal effect of the certification is that upon its approval, the City of Piqua may use the Federal funds, and the State of Ohio will have satisfied its responsibilities under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as amended.

The State of Ohio will accept an objection to its approval of the release of funds and acceptance of the certification only if it is on one of the following grounds: (a) the certification was not, in fact, executed by the responsible entity’s Certifying Officer; (b) the responsible entity has failed to make one of the two findings pursuant to Section 58.40 or to make the written determination required by section 58.35, 58.47, or 58.53 for the project, as applicable; (c) the responsible entity has omitted one or more of the steps set forth at subpart E CFR Part 58 for the preparation, publication, and completion of an Environmental Assessment; (d) the responsible entity has omitted one or more of the steps set forth at subparts F and G of 24 CFR Part 58 for the conduct, preparation, publication, and completion of an Environmental Impact Statement; (e) the recipient has committed funds or incurred cost not authorized by 24 CFR Part 58 before release of funds and approval of the environmental certification by the State; or (f) another federal agency, acting pursuant to 40 CFR Part 1504, has submitted a written finding that the project is unsatisfactory from the standpoint of environmental quality.

Written objections must meet the conditions and procedures set forth in subpart H of 24 CFR Part 58, and be addressed to: State of Ohio Department of Development; Office of Housing and Community Partnerships; Environmental Officer; P.O. Box 1001; Columbus, Ohio 43216-1001.

Objections to the Release of Funds on bases other than those stated above will not be considered by the State of Ohio. No objections received after January 28, 2012 (which is 15 days after it is anticipated that the State will receive a request for release of funds) will be considered by the State of Ohio.

All Bengals need is win over Ravens Cincinnati closes on playoff berth NEW YORK (AP) — Win and you are in as a division champion.

That's the easy scenario for the Broncos and either the Cowboys or Giants next weekend. And while Baltimore already owns at least a wild-card spot, a victory for the Ravens earns them the AFC North and a firstround bye.

Denver is tied atop the AFC North with Oakland at 8-7, with the Broncos hosting Kansas City and the Raiders at home for San Diego next Sunday.

Denver has the tiebreaker, but if it loses and Oakland wins, the Broncos can't get a wild card.

The Raiders can if both they and Denver win, as long as Cincinnati and Tennessee lose, or Cincinnati loses and the New York Jets win.

In first place in the NFC East are Dallas and the Giants, who meet at the Meadowlands. A win or a tie gives New York (8-7) the title; neither team can be a wild card.

The Ravens (11-4) swept the Steelers this year, so by winning at Cincinnati (9-6), they get the AFC North crown.

Should Baltimore falter, Pittsburgh (11-4) gets the division title and the bye.

Both teams already own at least a wild card.

Cincinnati grabs the other AFC wild card with a victory over Baltimore, and also can get it with a loss if either the Jets and Raiders both lose, or the Jets and Denver both lose.

AFC East champion New England (12-3) already has a bye and with a win at home against Buffalo will earn home-

field advantage in the conference playoffs. That advantage also would come to the Patriots if both Baltimore and Pittsburgh lose even if the Bills beat New England.

However, the Ravens and Steelers both hold the edge over the Patriots for home-field advantage should they finish with the same record.

To get the wild card, the Jets (8-7) need to win at Miami while the Bengals, Titans and Raiders all lose, or the Bengals, Titans and Broncos all lose.

As for Tennessee (8-7), it needs to win at AFC South winner Houston and have one of the following three occur: —losses by Cincinnati and Oakland, and a win by the Jets; See PLAYOFFS/Page 17

The Salukis (3-8) dropped their third straight game Sunday, an 87-77 loss to No. 14 Xavier, and will depart from the Islands without a win. The Musketeers (9-3), led by 21 points from Tu Holloway, snapped their own threegame losing streak with the win in the seventhplace game of the Diamond Head Classic.

CINCINNATI (AP) — The stadium was only two-thirds full again. The Cardinals were on another one of their incredible comebacks, threatening to derail the Cincinnati Bengals' surprising playoff surge.

A pair of tangled up feet made the difference.

The Bengals moved one win away from the playoffs Saturday, holding on for a 23-16 victory over Arizona that secured only their third winning record in the past 21 years.

Cincinnati (9-6) can clinch the final AFC wild card berth by beating Baltimore at Paul Brown Stadium next Sunday.

The Bengals moved a game ahead of the Jets, who fell to 87 with a 29-14 loss to the Giants on Saturday.

"It's been a big year for me and for this team," rookie quarterback Andy Dalton said. "It's

something we believed we had a chance to do. We weren't getting much credit from outside.

We'll find out next week."

Dalton threw two more touchdown passes, becoming only the fourth rookie to have 20 in a season, and Cincinnati got a break when the NFL's top comeback team tripped itself up in the closing minutes.

Wide-open receiver Early Doucet tripped at the goal line and went down, letting a fourth-down pass fall incomplete with 1:12 left. The Cardinals (7-8) got the ball one more time, but the clock ran out after a completion.

A few minutes later, the Jets' loss put the Bengals in position to reach the playoffs. New York would have won the tiebreaker if both teams won out.

BALTIMORE (AP) — D'Qwell Jackson must feel as though he's stuck in a never-ending film loop, one in which the Cleveland Browns make the same mistakes over and over until the final whistle signals the end of yet another defeat.

Such was the case Saturday, when the Browns bungled their way to a 2014 loss to the Baltimore Ravens.

"We've been in some close ones, and today told the story of the season," Jackson said. "We fought for three quarters, the offense was able to move the ball, we put the ball in the end zone, and we still had a chance at the end."

That's when Cleveland (4-11) made See BROWNS/Page 17

Sending coach out a winner Southern Miss wins Hawaii Bowl ONOLULU (AP) — Austin Davis made the plays when it counted to send Southern Mississippi coach Larry Fedora out a winner.

Davis threw two touchdowns, including a 4yarder late in the game,

East

"We started this quite a while ago — seems like just yesterday," coach Marvin Lewis said. "But now we're right where we want to be at the end."

Their rookie quarterback put them in position.

Dalton threw an 11yard touchdown pass to Jermaine Gresham and a 19-yarder to Jerome Simpson, who did a somersault over a defender and landed on both feet in the end zone.

Dalton joined Peyton Manning (26), Charlie Conerly (22) and Dan Marino (20) as the only NFL rookies to throw 20 touchdown passes.

Down 23-0 heading into the fourth quarter, the NFL's best comeback team nearly pulled off its most improbable one yet.

Arizona took advantage of Cedric Benson's two fumbles, getting a pair of touchdown passes by John Skelton and Jay Feely's field goal with 3:16 left.

The Cardinals then had their chance to pull even.

The Bengals ran an allout blitz on fourth down from the Cincinnati 17yard line, and Doucet wound up uncovered at the goal line. Skelton lofted the ball into the end zone, but Doucet tripped and fell.

"It was a blitz and nobody was there," Doucet said. "It was one of those deals where I hadn't hooked it up and my feet got tangled. It's a play I should've made. It was my fault. That's a play I normally make."

The Cardinals had their four-game winning streak snapped and were eliminated from playoff contention.

Cincinnati's defense dominated the first three quarters. Arizona didn't cross midfield until Skelton completed a pass with 13:25 to go, but piled up 208 yards in the final quarter.

Skelton started for the second consecutive week in place of Kevin Kolb, who hasn't fully recovered from a concussion. Skelton was 23 of 44 for 297 yards with three interceptions and five sacks that helped the Bengals get the 23-0 lead.

It could have been worse. Mike Nugent, the NFL's most accurate kicker, missed field goals of 35 and 48 yards in the first half.

Arizona has rallied from fourth-quarter

deficits six times this season, one shy of the NFL record. The Cardinals have won three games in overtime, tying the league record.

They couldn't do it one more time.

"Yeah, we're a secondhalf team," Skelton said.

"That's how it has been all year. But in the end, it was too little, too late."

Dalton was 18 of 31 for 154 yards and two touchdowns on a sunny, 39-degree afternoon in front of only 41,273 fans. The Bengals have sold out only one of their seven home games, when the Steelers brought thousands of fans.

Dalton's second touchdown pass had a highlight finish.

Simpson got open for a catch-and-run to the goal line. With Daryl Washington between him and the end zone, Simpson jumped and twirled past the linebacker, landing on both feet in the end zone and raising both arms like a triumphant gymnast.

"One of the key parts for me was I stuck the landing," Simpson said. "I stuck the landing like a gymnast. That was probably one of the most surprising of all the plays in my career. It was pretty awesome, I thought."

For most of the game, the Cardinals couldn't do anything right. Rookie cornerback Patrick Peterson picked off a Dalton pass in the third quarter, but the interception was nullified by Arizona's second roughing-the-passer penalty of the game.

Worse, Peterson hurt his left hamstring on the play, pulling up on the return. The first-round pick left the game and didn't return. He wore a protective boot after the game.

"He's got a strain, it's not a tear," coach Ken Whisenhunt said. "We're fortunate that it doesn't appear to anything long term."

Notes: Beanie Wells became the first Cardinal to run for 1,000 yards and 10 touchdowns in a season. ...

After the game, the Bengals made a buy-one, getone-free offer to season ticket holders, trying to fill the stadium for the final game. ... A.J. Green, playing with a strained right shoulder, had two catches for 25 yards. He passed Cris Collinsworth's club record for a rookie with 1,013 yards on the season.

Continued from page 15

Continued from page 15 15th time I've said this, (but) the guys played extremely hard," Cleveland coach Pat Shurmur said.

"I told the guys for us to win these close games here in the AFC North, we've got to play a little smarter in some of the critical situations and that will help make the difference. That's where we're at."

Flacco threw two touchdown passes and Rice ran for 87 yards to help the Ravens finish 8-0 at home.

Josh Cribbs had a career-high 84-yard punt return for a TD for Cleveland. Wallace went 19 for 33 for 147 yards in place of Colt McCoy, who was out with a concussion.

Peyton Hillis ran for 112 yards, but Cleveland's offense mounted only one decent drive.

The Browns took the opening kickoff and moved from their own 26 to the Baltimore 30 behind the power of Hillis, who gained 30 yards on six carries. But on a thirdand-1, Cleveland inexplicably went to the air, and Lardarius Webb intercepted Wallace's pass for Mohamed Massaquoi.

Flacco immediately threw deep for Torrey Smith, who drew a 60yard penalty for pass interference on Mike Adams to set up a 5-yard touchdown pass to Ed Dickson.

Later, a 29-yard throw from Flacco to Smith led to a 48-yard field goal by Shayne Graham.

After another Cleveland punt, Flacco directed an 82-yard drive that gave Baltimore a 17-0 lead.

"I need to communicate it better, OK?" Shurmur said.

Time expired before Cleveland could get off another play, and the Browns headed to the locker room after being held scoreless in the first half for the second time this season. The other time it happened was also against Baltimore.

Graham kicked a 43yard field goal in the third quarter to make it 20-0.

its most glaring error.

Down 20-14 with no timeouts left, the Browns lined up on defense after the two-minute warning with the Ravens facing a fourth-and-2 at the Cleveland 37.

It appeared obvious that Baltimore quarterback Joe Flacco was merely hoping to draw the Browns offside. And right on cue, Cleveland rookie tackle Phil Taylor jumped across the line of scrimmage to give Baltimore a first down.

The Ravens (11-4) then ran out the clock on their eighth straight win over the Browns, including two this month.

"We jumped offside and we didn't give ourselves a chance," Jackson said. "It's hard to do."

As soon as the flag dropped to the ground, Jackson grabbed the rookie to offer him some advice.

"He said, 'Hold your head up.' It's tough," Taylor said softly in a sullen locker room. "It was the first hard count and we stayed onside. The second time, I just jumped. Of course you feel bad, but you just got to move on."

Taylor wasn't the only one with a mistake to lament. Jackson got torched on a touchdown pass from Flacco to Ray Rice. The Browns had to use their first-half timeouts early because of perissues.

And sonnel quarterback Seneca Wallace, after driving Cleveland to the Baltimore 3-yard line, curiously called a running play instead of spiking the ball as time expired in the second quarter.
