Cemetery honored for practices implemented to protect groundwater BY WILL E SANDERS Staff Writer wsanders@dailycall.com PIQUA — For exhibiting the good practices of ground water and other forms of environmental stewardship, the Forest Hill Cemetery received a distinguished designation that only 10 other sites from around the state can boast. This month, the historic cemetery received the 2011 Groundwater Guardian Green Site classification by the The Groundwater Foundation for groundwater-friendly practices that have recently been implemented at the site.
The Groundwater Foundation, a nonprofit organization based in Lincoln, Neb., founded in 1985, helps educate and motivate the public to care about and for groundwater, said Jim Roth, Forest Hill Cemetery superintendent. The program began in 2007 as a way to recognize good stewards of groundwater by encouraging managers of highly-managed green spaces to implement, measure, and document their groundwaterfriendly practices. Roth said the procedures involved in gaining the designation entailed creating policies and protocols for groundwater concerns such as chemical spills, conducting inventory of chemicals stored at the site and disposal methods used at the cemetery relative to chemicals and oil, in addition in taking extra
cautious steps toward preventing other contaminants from entering into the groundwater system. The process was in cooperation with the Miami Conservancy District, Roth added, who paid to have their application evaluated. Groundwater Guardian Green Sites are places with a lot of green space, and in addition to cemeteries, golf courses, educational campuses and the like are normally locations where potential sites could be located so long as they implement groundwater and surface water-friendly practices. By reducing its chemical usage and the planting of lower gardens that require little water and trees to help clean water run off, the Forest Hill Cemetery is going green and helping protect and conserve local See Forest Hill/Page 6
Wall St. ends wild year back where it started BERNARD CONDON AP Business Writer NEW YORK — The stock market ended a tumultuous year right where it started. In the final tally, despite big climbs and falls, unexpected blows and surprising triumphs, all the hullabaloo proved for naught. On Friday, the Standard & Poor’s 500 index closed at 1,257.60. That’s exactly 0.04 point below where it started the year. “If you fell asleep January 1 and woke up today, you’d think nothing had happened,” says Jack Ablin, chief investment officer of Harris Private Bank. “But it’s been up and down all year. It’s been crazy.” It was a year when U.S. companies were supposed to run out of ways to make big profits. But they didn’t, and in fact generated more than ever. It was a year when the U.S. lost its prized triple-A credit rating, which should have spooked buyers of its bonds. Instead investors bought more of them and made Treasurys one of the best bets of 2011. It was a year when stocks caught fire, then collapsed to near bear-market lows.
Season’s lack of snow leaves Ohio ski resorts out in the cold CLEVELAND (AP) — Ohio’s relative lack of snow so far this season has been a boon to state and local government agencies that are saving money on road salt and work crews, but the state’s ski resorts are hurting. The Ohio Department of Transportation says it
has used 20,000 tons of road salt in the final months of this year, just a fraction of the amount needed during the same period in 2010. Across the state, most areas have seen a very mild winter so far, with little or no measurable snow. That saves governments
money not only on salt, but on overtime for workers and vehicle expenses. Meanwhile, The (Cleveland) Plain Dealer reports that some ski resorts in northern Ohio have had to AKRON BEACONJOURNAL, PAUL TOPLE/AP PHOTO stay closed, while others have struggled to make This Dec. 19 photo shows the Boston Mills ski resort snow in the warm temper- in Peninsula.

“Why he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come to God by him, seeing he ever lives to make intercession for them.” (Hebrews 7:25 AKJV)
Family says thanks for all support
Open Mike
Well deserved year-end thank yous thought that I would share some year-end thoughts as we bid good-bye to 2011 and prepare to welcome 2012. First of all, following a suggestion from my wife, I (we) would like to send out a thank you to everyone who took the time during this busy holiday season to decorate their home with Christmas lights. I think that many of us take these festive decorations for granted as we drive by, casually or on a deliberate search for, houses and yards with hundreds, or even thousands, of multi-colored lights. I know that many people enjoy the task of decorating for Christmas but we should recognize that the time and expense to make a home twinkle merrily for the holidays can be a chore. Few things say “Christmas” like driving into a neighborhood filled with homes dressed up for the season. To each and every person and family who has taken the time to decorate, a big thank you for making our Christmas brighter. I don’t know if you realize, but your efforts are a gift to the entire community. Another year-end thank you goes out to the folks at our local sanitation departments. I could not help but notice as I made my way through neighborhoods this week that the Christmas holiday had generated quite a bit more trash that usual. I know that these guys are “just doing their job,” the same as everyone, but we all like to know that our efforts are, if not apMIKE ULLERY preciated, at least recognized. I can’t help but feel Chief Photographer that as they made their way through their daily routes this week, the guys driving the trucks and the guys taking care of our trash and recyclables, as well as the guys and gals at the Miami County transfer facility, couldn’t help but feel the extra weight of the holidays. (Pun intended.) Recognition and undying appreciation also must go out to our police, fire and rescue personnel. While we are home with our family and friends during the holidays, these men and women are out there to watch over us. Some are full time, some part time and some are volunteers, but all of them stand ready to respond when and where needed. Many of us take these men and women for granted. I suppose that is mostly because they do their job in such a manner that we just know they will be there for us in a time of need. I was reminded of their professionalism and dedication on Christmas day when a tragic crash on U.S. 36 called emergency workers to action. Full-time sheriff’s deputies and paramedics worked alongside volunteer firefighters at the crash site. One never hears someone complaining that an incident took them away from their family. Their only thoughts are of getting the job done and helping in whatever way possible. For those of you who do not work closely with or around our Miami County emergency workers, I would like to let you know that we should feel very blessed and fortunate to have the men and women that we have on our local departments. Each and every one of them are dedicated and talented professionals. We can all sleep more soundly knowing that they have our back. To our law enforcement officers, firefighters and medics, I offer a most sincere thank you and a “well done.” I need to remember, too, the men and women at the Miami County 9-1-1 dispatch center. Their work to organize and make sense of often chaotic and potentially dangerous situations, while seeing that help is sent quickly, goes all but unnoticed. Thank you for all that you do, as well. All of these individuals and groups have had an effect on my life, as well as most your lives, during 2011. I appreciate all of you and look forward to continuing to our journey in 2012. My family and I wish all of you a very safe and Happy New Year.

Editorial roundup Excerpts from recent editorials in newspapers in the United States and abroad: Dec. 25 The Denver Post on secrecy and the Supreme Court: For three days beginning March 26, the U.S. Supreme Court will set aside an extraordinary 5 hours for arguments on the constitutionality of President Barack Obama’s health care law. Court watchers point out that this is the most time devoted to a single case since the 1960s, and a signal of the importance the court assigns to the case. And yet Americans will not be able to watch the give and take of history in the making. They will be barred from witnessing hearings that could influence how justices define the very scope of federal power. … Justice Stephen Breyer once worried, for example, that “public trust” in the court could be undermined, while Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg claimed that gavel-to-gavel coverage “cannot be successfully edited by someone outside the judicial house.” Chief Justice John Roberts has said he fears potential “grandstanding,” and Justice Anthony Kennedy once suggested cameras “would change our collegial dynamic.”

MARK LENNIHAN/AP PHOTO
In this Sept. 10 file photo, the “Tribute in Light” shines above lower Manhattan, the Statue of Liberty, and One World Trade Center, left, in New York. 2011 marked the 10th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks on the United States.
NEW YORK (AP) — A television show about members of a Muslim community in Michigan is focusing what may be its second-to-last episode almost entirely on the conflicted feelings that its featured participants have about marking anniversaries of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. The episode of TLC’s “All-American Muslim” airs Sunday (10 p.m. EST). The series attracted attention earlier this month when a conservative Christian group called on advertisers to boycott the series, calling it “propaganda that riskily hides the Islamic agenda’s clear and present danger to American liberties and traditional values.” Two companies, the Lowe’s home improvement chain and travel planning website Kayak.com, announced they were pulling ads. TLC hasn’t said how many companies responded to the Florida Family Association’s call to stop sponsoring the show. The controversy prompted a backlash of people protesting against Lowe’s. Some new advertisers have signed on since then, TLC General Manager Amy Winter said Thursday. Filming for the reality TV series took place during commemorations for the 10th anniversary of the attacks. Both TLC and the show’s characters, Muslims living in and around Dearborn, a suburb of Detroit at the heart of one of the largest Arab-American populations outside the Middle East, wanted to address the topic, Winter said. “I’m very proud of it,” she said. “What you’ll see in there is a community with a range of emotions that they express over what was probably one of the most pivotal moments in our nation’s history.” Mike Jaafar, a deputy sheriff who
participated in a Sept. 11 memorial service at Tiger Stadium in Detroit, helped law enforcement prepare for any problems related to the anniversary. He choked up when recalling how police officers in New York City were killed as they tried to rescue people at the World Trade Center. “You think about your guys who work for you, going into a building and not coming home,” he said. Nawal Auode was a high school sophomore on Sept. 11, 2001, when her mother called to say she was picking her up at school. Her mother found out about the attacks as she was passing out flyers to advertise a day care center and a man spit at her and ordered her off his porch. “It was the first time I realized that people looked at me as less American,” said Suehaila Amen. “As a person who was born and raised in this country, it was very difficult.” Auode said she dreads the anniversary of the attacks because of a sense that members of her community have to defend themselves for something they had nothing to do with. That’s at the root of the biggest conflict in Sunday’s episode. One woman talks about how important it was to attend a Sept. 11 commemoration, but her adult-age children didn’t want to go. One man, Bilal Amen, traveled to New York City to visit the Sept. 11 memorial because, he said, “I want to see the place that changed my life.” Another woman, Nina Bazzy, spoke angrily about the Sept. 11 terrorists and said they weren’t real Muslims because “a real Muslim would not do anything like that.” She said Osama bin Laden made life difficult for many Muslims in the United States. “He ruined it for us,” Bazzy said. “He ruined it for our kids. He made us scared in our own homes.”
“All-American Muslim” ends its eight-episode first season on Jan. 8. Its ratings are considered disappointing for TLC, and the attention caused by this month’s controversy didn’t improve them. Based on ratings alone, a second season would be considered unlikely. Working in its favor is TLC’s pride in a series that spotlights communities that many viewers aren’t familiar with. TLC hasn’t made a decision on the show’s future and its executives will meet soon to consider it, Winter said.
DEAR ABBY: My friend “Kayla” and I are 12 and in seventh grade. Recently, Kayla informed me that she has acquired a new boyfriend. I didn’t mind when she showed me all his lovey-dovey texts. I thought they were adorable. When I asked Kayla why her boyfriend didn’t sit with us at lunch, she laughed and said, “Oh, he doesn’t go to school here. He’s a junior in high school.” That’s why I’m writing. Kayla is telling me that she and “Jacob” are making out, and their texts are getting progressively worse. Plus, Kayla has said her parents are taking her and Jacob to a concert. The concert is out of town and they will be renting a hotel room. I’m worried for my friend. Am I incorrect for thinking this is wrong? — WORRIED FRIEND IN WASHINGTON STATE
DEAR WORRIED FRIEND: I agree with you that at 12, Kayla is too young to have a 16year-old boyfriend. That her parents give her enough unsupervised time with him that they’re involved in makeout sessions is also troubling. If this continues, Kayla could become pregnant and Jacob could be accused of statutory rape — even if Kayla was a willing parTODD MCINTURF/AP PHOTO/DETROIT NEWS ticipant.

Assume you're in four spades and West leads the queen of hearts, on which East plays the nine. Let's say you duck the queen on general principles and win the heart continuation with the ace. You draw two rounds of trumps, ending in dummy, and lead the jack of diamonds, won by West with the ace! West shifts to a low club, and the question is whether or not to finesse. If you could peek at
the opposing cards, it would be easy enough to play the queen. You would later lose another diamond trick and make exactly four. But if you saw only the North-South hands, you might go wrong. You might reason, because dummy's jack of diamonds forced the ace, that East is marked with the queen and that risking a club finesse would be just plain silly. However, there would be a fatal flaw in such a line of reasoning, and it is necessary to go back to the bidding to find it. East -- who passed his partner's one-heart bid and is already marked with the king of hearts -cannot also have the king of clubs or he would have responded to West's opening bid. The same conclusion can be reached by asking yourself what kind of

DEAR ABBY: I have a question that may seem odd, but I hope you can give me an answer. I know children can tell when a parent favors one sibling over another. What about cats? I adopted two cats — not littermates — from a shelter. While I love them both, one drives me crazy and the other is a sweet lovebug. Naturally, I prefer the sweet, cuddly one. Can the kitty that drives me nuts tell that I prefer his “sister” over him? — LOVE ‘EM BOTH, REALLY, ALBANY, N.Y. DEAR LOVE ‘EM BOTH: While I’m more of a people expert than an animal behaviorist, let me share this. Cats
ABIGAIL VAN BUREN
Advice and dogs, after thousands of years of living so closely with us humans, are indeed sensitive to human emotions. They can tell when we’re happy, when we are nervous and when we’re depressed. If you lavish affection and/or treats on one and not the other, it can create jealousy. You don’t know the history of the cats you adopted. It’s possible the one that makes you “crazy” had less human contact than “Lovebug” or was mistreated in some way. With patience and positive reinforcement he may come around, so please don’t give up on him. DEAR ABBY: One of my brothers, “Carl,” walked away from our family 18 years ago. My parents are elderly and in poor health. When they pass, how do we refer to this sibling in the obituary? — DRAWING A BLANK IN OHIO DEAR DRAWING A BLANK: The entire family history does not have to be revealed in the obituary. All it should say is, “Survivors include: daughter Wendy, (husband, if there is one) of Ohio; son George, (wife); and son Carl.” If you know where Carl is, include the information. If not, his name should be enough. DEAR READERS: The year is almost over. Am I the only one who can’t believe how fast it has gone? Incredible! From the bottom of my heart, I wish all of you a happy, healthy and prosperous 2012. If you plan on driving tonight, please don’t drink. And if you’ll be drinking tonight, please don’t drive.

The city will continue working with Grow Piqua Now, the Chamber of Commerce and Mainstreet Piqua, while also looking

toward redevelopment opportunities around the Riverfront to include office space, speciality shops, residential, restaurants, and recreation, while also working to draw recognition to the community for such efforts. “Hopefully, as we do unique and innovative and creative things, it’s going to draw a lot of recognition to the community,” said Huff. “Helping with economic development from that standpoint.” Major projects into the new year will include a power public service center, continued work on the water treatment facility study, East Ash street reconstruction and the Piqua hospital and power plant demolitions. New financial software will go live first of the year and through the next 12 months will be the comple-
tion of a wastewater collection and treatment master plan. “Another new concept we hope to be working on is smart streets,” said Huff on the utilization of technology to help with traffic management while city leaders and employees can look forward to new internal programs such GIVE (Generosity, Involvement and Volunteerism by Employees), PERforM (Piqua Employees Reaching for More) that revolves around customer service and vehicle maintenance in joint operation with the school district. Another exciting endeavor for city employees will be the implementation of an in-house employee medical clinic. “That could possibly save us hundreds of thousands of dollars,” said Huff as he explained how this was done in Fishers, Ind., his
previous locality where the annual savings was between $400,000 to $700,000 in health insurance costs. The clinic would be free to employees and their dependents, located on the third floor through a third party with no co-pay and medications would be free. “Because we can buy them through this means at a wholesale cost, rather than retail, saves lots and lots of money,” explained Huff. As for city commission, after the citizen survey over the winter, they will be working on a 5-year strategic plan to determine priorities with informal meetings, or commission coffees, with department heads for continued internal communication.

has been meeting, Hanes said, to begin the process of building design. On Jan. 25, a partners meeting is set for all entities involved in the building process, including design team members, the architect and construction management team, city officials, township trustees and those involved with zoning, permits and inspections — “all parties who will have to work together,” Hanes said, will be invited. As the design project moves along, community
members and students will be invited to join the team, Hanes said. Students will especially be instrumental in helping plan the new buildings’ playgrounds and equipment that will be installed at each facility. “The design team has been meeting once a week on Tuesday mornings,” Hanes said. “Once we have more detail and the architect has something for the full team to look at, we will start bringing in community, parents and student

Markets in Europe, Asia Preventative end 2011 down but U.S. up medicine PAN PYLAS AP Business Writer
LONDON — Stock markets around the world were seeing out 2011 fairly positively Friday, but many are still posting big declines for the year in the wake of Europe’s debt crisis, a faltering U.S. economy and signs that China’s economy is no longer sizzling. Markets have also been rocked by natural disasters, trading scandals, sharp fluctuations in commodity prices, and the up-and-down price of oil amid the political turmoil in the Arab world. In Europe, the trading backdrop has been particularly grim, with many of the main markets posting their worst year since 2008. That’s perhaps unsurprising given that most of the financial world’s attention has centered on the debt crisis, which has already seen three relatively small countries bailed out and is threatening a muchbigger country — Italy. Trading in Europe on Friday was fairly quiet with many traders using the opportunity to close out their books for the year — many markets were only trading for half the day. The FTSE 100 index of leading British shares closed up 0.1 percent at 5,572.28, meaning that it ended the year 5.6 percent lower, while Germany’s DAX ended 0.9 percent higher at 5,898.35, a 14.7 percent decline over the year. The CAC-40 in France, which is trading normal hours, was 0.3 percent higher at 3,138. Despite the rise, it’s still looking like it will end the year around 17 percent lower from where it started at 3,804.78. With policymakers failing to con-
Prenger returns to Electro Controls
vince markets that they can deal with the crisis and the eurozone widely predicted to slip back into recession next year, the euro is ending 2011 just below the $1.30 mark, after falling to a 15-month low against the dollar on Thursday at $1.2857. Despite all the debt problems afflicting the eurozone, the euro has held up pretty well in 2011 — it started the year at $1.3345. Much of the attention next year will center on Italy, the eurozone’s thirdlargest economy. Italy is the focal point of the eurozone’s struggle to deal with a crisis, caused by heavy levels of government debt in a number of the 17 countries that use the single currency. Fears of default on those debts mean that bond investors demand everhigher interest. If a country can no longer borrow affordably to pay off bonds that are maturing, it winds up needing a bailout or defaulting. Markets had grown fearful over the past few months over Italy’s massive debt burden of €1.9 trillion ($2.5 trillion) and Italy’s ability to continue dealing with it. Next year alone, Italy has some €330 billion ($431 billion) of debt to refinance and it will want its borrowing rates to start falling. It will start the new year with its benchmark ten-year yield standing around the 7 percent mark, a level that is considered unsustainable in the long-run and eventually forced Greece, Ireland and Portugal to seek bailouts. “There is no hiding from the fact that Italy’s benchmark ten-year bond yield is up over 2 percent on the year compared to declines in other major European economies,”said Will Hedden, sales trader at IG Index. Wall Street opened modestly lower but U.S. stocks have performed much more solidly than their European and
SIDNEY — Electro Controls Inc. has announced the addition of Jeff Prenger as director of business and engineering. A former member of the Electro Controls engineering and sales teams, Prenger returns to Electro Controls after having spent the last seven years as an operations officer and member of the executive team at Wurth Electronics and Sick Inc./ Stegmann, both in Dayton. Prenger’s responsibilities included strategic planning,
Asian counterparts, largely on the back of a strong year-end performance related to an upbeat run of U.S. economic data. The Dow Jones industrial average looks like it’s going to end up higher for the year, trading Friday 0.1 percent lower at 12,271, above the 11,577.51 mark it started the year. It’s still touch and go though whether the broader Standard & Poor’s 500 index will end up in the black. It’s down 0.1 percent at 1,262, marginally up on the year’s startpoint of 1,257.64. Though the performance of the U.S. economy has played second fiddle to Europe for much of the year, it has the potential for shoring up confidence in 2012 if the recent positive news continues. “Crystal ball-gazing can begin in earnest over the weekend but I am tempted to conclude — more of the same in Europe, easier policy in China, and further asset reflation in the U.S., which finally gets life back into the housing market and thereby drives optimism about the 2013 economic outlook,” said Sebastien Galy, an analyst at Societe Generale. Asian markets have already closed out the year and most markets had a year to forget. Japan’s Nikkei 225 index, after three straight days of losses, managed to eke out a 0.4 percent rise Friday to end the year at 8,429.45. However, that was its lowest closing since 1982. Meanwhile, China’s benchmark gained 1.2 percent to close at 2,199.42 — still, a 21 percent loss for the year as the impact of Beijing’s multibilliondollar stimulus faded and the government tightened curbs on lending and investment to cool blistering economic growth.
budget development, human resource planning and production efficiencies. His management experience includes engineering, manufacturing, IT, customer service, supply chain, and quality. Prenger earned his bachelor of electrical engineering and master’s of business administration (MBA) from the University of Dayton. He resides in Russia with his wife Hollie and their children, Samuel and Juliet.
It’s an understandable conundrum: sellers believe their home is worth more than it is, and buyers think that it’s worth less. So where is the proverbial “sweet spot” when it comes to the single most important aspect of marketing your home - setting its listing price? Consider how many homes are for sale in your area. Is that number high? Then your listing price should be lower than the competition if you want to generate the most interest. Obvious, right? But how many of those rival listings are foreclosed properties or short sale listings? The most critical factor in evaluating this type of competition is the condition in which they are offered. Neglected homes aren’t likely to affect you,but if they are in good shape and presented at prices 20% below market,you’ve got some hard thinking to do. If buyers aren’t making appointments or are not making you offers after the showings, you probably priced too high at the start. Don’t hesitate to make an adjustment quickly,however, because properties generate the most interest in the earliest stage of the listing. Finally, give the reason-
KATHY HENNE Columnist able offers you receive strong consideration. You may counter, but these days, buyers won’t engage in extended negotiations - they’ll just move on to the next property. You can avoid these bitter pills by practicing a little preventative medicine through competitive pricing right from the beginning. If you know somebody who is having trouble making their house payment, have them call the Kathy Henne Team. Kathy has earned the prestigious Certified Distressed Property Expert (CDPE) designation, having completed training in foreclosure avoidance and short sales. More and more lenders are willing to consider short sales because they are much less costly than foreclosures. Interested in bank-owned homes?

HOROSCOPE Saturday, Dec. 31, 2011 In the year ahead, you are likely to strike a better balance in your personal affairs. In doing so, you will acquire a better balance between work and play, allowing you to devote more time to pleasurable pursuits. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Achieving what you hope to accomplish might be a bit tough, not because of circumstances or outside influences, but due to the way you are handling things. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — If you waste your time trying to satisfy an old grudge, it’s likely to rob you of time spent doing something truly meaningful. Don’t squander a perfectly good day. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — Unfortunately, your family and friends may not be as eager to share their bounty with you as you are with them. If this is the case, don’t fault them — they don’t see things the same way you do. ARIES (March 21-April 19) — Abide by some healthy mental standards by refusing to yield to negative thinking, which can easily happen if things don’t go exactly as you planned. Stay positive. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Of course you have a lot on your mind, but that doesn’t justify failing to properly acknowledge people who have gone out of their way to help you. Keep a good perspective. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — One of your secrets to getting along with everybody and managing people so well is letting each person think that he or she is their own boss. You don’t need credit, just results. CANCER (June 21-July 22) — When a serious development arises that requires you to make a weighty decision, let your heart rule your head. It would be the smartest thing to do in this instance. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — A matter that could look more serious on the surface than it actually is might cause you to pause a bit. Once you think about it, however, you’ll be able to handle it without incident. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — It’s up to you to control events instead of allowing them to dominate you. If you are weak or wishy-washy about what your objectives, your chances for getting what you want are nil. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Guard against inclinations not to listen to what others want or even the good suggestions they make just so you can get everything you want. Life is happiest when shared. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Innately, you are a considerate, practical and logical person, yet you could allow your strong emotions to surface and roll over everybody. Regain control. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Just because certain people put personal gain above their nobler inclinations doesn’t mean you have to do so as well. You can make a bigger impact through setting an example. COPYRIGHT 2011 United Feature Syndicate, Inc.

CAUTION Whether posting or responding to an advertisement, watch out for offers to pay more than the advertised price for the item. Scammers will send a check and ask the seller to wire the excess through Western Union (possibly for courier fees). The scammer's check is fake and eventually bounces and the seller loses the wired amount. While banks and Western branches are Union trained at spotting fake checks, these types of scams are growing increasingly sophisticated and fake checks often aren't caught for weeks. Funds wired through Western Union or MoneyGram are irretrievable and virtually untraceable.

Lehman’s Solomon King-White (left) dribbles the ball up the floor, while Covington’s Alex Baskerville (right) shoots between James Rego and King-White.
Second-half blitz gives Lehman title Cavaliers beat Covington to win second B.I.G. Holiday Classic BY ROB KISER Sports Editor rkiser@dailycall.com The Lehman boys basketball team used a second-half blitz to stun Covington and win its second Buckeye Insurance Group Holiday Classic with a 72-46 win Friday night at Garbry Gymnasium. More importantly, the Cavaliers continued to grow as a team.
Senior guard Solomon King-White, who was the tournament MVP, played for Northmont last year. Along with senior guard Alex Baker, who led the second-half barrage and was named to the all-tournament team, and an influx of young talent, the Cavaliers have gotten better with every game. “It’s momentum,” KingWhite said after the victory. “We are growing as a team. This was real big for
us to come in here and win the tournament. We just want to keep the momentum going.” Just when it appeared Covington had grabbed the momentum in the third quarter, Baker reversed it 180 degrees. Covington had rallied to get within 23-20 at halftime, then scored the first five points of the third quarter. “We talked about coming out and getting off to a
fast start in the second half,” Baker said. “And then it was just the opposite.” But after Cole Owens, who was named to the alltournament team, had given Covington a 25-23 lead, the Cavaliers and Baker had an answer. After Drew Westerheide had a 3-point play to put Lehman in front 26-25, Baker would hit four 3point field goals in a little over three minutes as the
Cavaliers lead ballooned to 42-30. “It was just a matter of time,” Lehman coach Isaiah Williams, who smiled as his son clutched the championship trophy afterwards, said. “The shots Alex (Baker) was taking in the first half weren’t good 3-point shots.” It was a different story in the second half as he hit five of seven from behind the arc. “I was just zoned in,”
Baker said. “One of the things coach said was to keep shooting.” After Dylan Owens had Covington within 42-33 in the final minute of the third quarter on a three, a foul and technical allowed the Cavaliers to take a 4633 lead to the fourth quarter and the momentum just continued from there. “Everything happened pretty quickly,” Covington See TITLE/Page 14
Russia stands tall in second half Raiders beat Piqua in soncolation game BY ROB KISER Sports Editor rkiser@dailycall.com For one half, the Piqua boys basketball team was able to stand tall with Russia. But, led by 6-foot-9 Brandon Wilson, the second half was a different story as Russia pulled away for a 65-50 victory Friday night in the consolation game of the Buckeye Insurance Group Holiday Classic. “He (Brandon Wilson) is a good player,” Piqua coach Heaht Butler said about Wilson, who finished with 24 points and 11 rebounds. “If you had seen him with a sophomore — he has put the time in and it shows.” In the opening half, Wilson had scored on three straight possessions to give Russia a 6-2 lead. But, he would score just two points the rest of the half and Piqua quickly erased an 11-3 deficit with 10 straight points.
It was tied at 13 after one quarter and Piqua led 25-23 at halftime. “We didn’t do a good job of getting the ball into him (Brandon Wilson),” Russia coach Paul Bremigan said about the second quarter. “And we tried to get it in when it wasn’t there and had some turnovers.” Piqua also outrebounded Russia 13-11 in the first half as Kindric Link scored seven points in the first quarter and Trae Honeycutt netted six in the second quarter to give them the lead at the break. “I thought we did a good job on the boards in the first half,” Butler said. “It was a different story in the second half. We played a very athletic Lehman team last night and I don’t know if that had an effect or not.” Russia took control in the third quarter, owning a 22-11 advantage to open a 45-36 lead going to the fourth quarter. Wilson had eight points
in the quarter, but just as important was the play of the guards. After Josh Holfinger had scored on a dish by Taylor Wellbaum to get the Indians with 37-33, Bryce Rittehnouse and Corey Bremigan answered with a dagger. They hit back-to-back threes to stretch the lead to double digits at 43-33 with 1:48 remaining in the quarter and Piqua could never seriously cut into the deficit the rest of the way. “I thought those two threes were big for us,” Bremigan said. “I just thought we did a whole lot of things right in the second half. We went to a zone defense and that seemed to bother them.” Also important was the play of Treg Francis at point guard. “I thought Treg (Francis) really played well at the point,” Bremigan said. “Our point guard was MIKE ULLERY/CALL PHOTO

Covington’s Troy Cron makes a move against Russia Thursday. Cron was incorrectly identified in Friday’s paper.
Flyers use big runs Knock off Mississippi DAYTON (AP) Chris Johnson scored 16 points and Dayton used two second-half runs in a 62-50 victory over Mississippi on Friday night. Dayton (10-4) built a 28-23 halftime lead to a 39-27 advantage early in the second half. The 11-5 run to start the second was sparked by consecutive 3-pointers by Johnson. Ole Miss (9-4) cut Dayton’s lead to 47-41 with 7:44 left, but the Flyers answered with an 11-4 run to take control for good. Dayton dominated Ole Miss 43-33 on the boards. Rebels leading rebounder Murphy Holloway missed his first game of the season with a high ankle sprain. Dayton starting forward Josh Benson left the game twice in the first half with an injured left knee. He did not play in the second half and will have an MRI on Saturday. Paul Williams added 12 points for Dayton. Jarvis Williams led Ole Miss with 14 points. Dayton shot only 27.5 percent in the first half, but benefited from 13 offensive rebounds to take a 28-23 lead. Had it not been from Johnson making 3 of 6 3-pointers for 10 points, the Flyers would have been trailing. Johnson’s first 3-pointer came on a pass from the post to finally bust Ole Miss’s 2-3 zone for an 18-17 lead with 7:49 left in the half. The Rebels soon returned to man-to-man, but Johnson got open for another 3-pointer for a 23-17 lead at 5:03. The Rebels, who have lost three straight, went on a 6-2 run to close to 25-23. They appeared to have tied the score when Aaron Jones followed in a miss with a dunk, but he was called for interference with 7 seconds left, negating the basket. Dayton point guard Kevin Dillard pushed the ball into the lane and found Johnson open in the right corner for a 3-pointer at the halftime buzzer.
coach Roger Craft said. “If I had to guess without looking at the films, I would say rebounding was a big part of it. The game swung pretty quickly.” King-White matched Baker with 23 points for Lehman, while Michael Jacob added 10. “I thought one of the big things our bigs had a good tournament,” Williams said. “Michael Jacob had a big game inside for us tonight. Ben Thieman and James Rego both played well.” Troy Cron had 13 points to lead Covington. Lehman was 21 of 42 from the floor for 50 percent and 24 of of 29 from the line for 83 percent. Covington was 17 of 48 from the floor for 35 percent and nine of 21 from the line for 43 percent. The Buccs 3-4 mark is deceiving. Those losses have come at the hands of Versailles, Miami East and Marion Local, along with the Cavaliers. “We have definitely played some tough teams,” Craft said. “But, so has Lehman. Give them credit.” The Cavaliers improved to 5-3. “Really, it started with Versailles,” Baker said. “They are a really strong team. We came out and played them tough and showed what we could do.” Williams agreed. “That is where it started,” he said. “This is a team that has had to come together quickly. “We are just going to keep MIKE ULLERY/CALL PHOTO building from this.

But, I thought he really did a nice job.” So did Butler. “It is one thing to have a big guy,” Butler said. “But, you have to have the guards who can get him the ball and they did. You have to give Russia a lot of credit.” Piqua also hurt themselves by going 3-for-10 from the line in the second half. “When you play in a tournament like this against smaller schools, fundamentals is a big thing,” Butler said. “All those little things made a different tonight.” Rittenhouse added 12 points and five rebounds and Bremigan and Francis scored nine each. Wilson was named to the all-tournament team. Jordan Feeser had 10 points and seven rebounds for Piqua, while Honeycutt also scored 10 and Link added nine. Piqua’s Josh Holfinger

Baylor outlasts Washington in offensive explosion Bears record amazing 67-56 win over Huskies in Alamo Bowl; FSU edges Notre Dame 18-14 SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Heisman Trophy winner Robert Griffin III wasn't dazzling — and didn't need to be — as No. 15 Baylor pulled out a thrilling Alamo Bowl victory in the highest-scoring bowl game in history, beating Washington 67-56 in a record-smashing shootout Thursday night. If this was RG3's final showcase before jumping to the NFL, it was a gripping goodbye to watch. One of the nation's most
electrifying players was upstaged by an even more exciting game that shattering the previous record for points in regulation set in the 2001 GMAC Bowl. Griffin had an unremarkable night, throwing just one touchdown pass and running for another. But Terrance Ganaway starred ably in his place, rushing for 200 yards and five touchdowns. The previous bowl record for a regulation game was 102 total points
set in the 2001 GMAC Bowl between Marshall and East Carolina. That game went to double overtime and ended with a combined 125 points — which still stands as the overall bowl record. Washington quarterback Keith Price outplayed his Heisman counterpart, going 23 for 27 with 438 yards and four touchdowns. He also ran for another three scores.
Griffin was 24 of 33 for Dame in the Champs 295 yards, and his only TD Sports Bowl. The victory was FSU's throw came on the game's fourth straight bowl win. opening drive. FSU receiver Rashad CHAMPS SPORTS Greene, who caught one of Manuel's touchdown BOWL FLORIDA STATE 18, passes, was named the game's MVP.

The Seminoles closed Manuel and two field goals from Dustin Hop- the gap to 14-9 with an 18kins to slip past Notre yard touchdown pass from
Manuel to Bert Reed to open the fourth quarter, but failed on their 2-point conversion attempt. They took the lead just 1:32 later after Nigel Bradham intercepted a Hendrix pass inside the Notre Dame 20 to set up an 18-yard touchdown catch by Greene to make it 15-14 with just over 13 minutes to play following another failed 2-point try. The Seminoles added their second field goal of the game a series later.
