To teach Uncertainty cause for severe caution or not to teach cursive?

BRADFORD — Thursday’s Bradford village Council meeting began with an informational work session dealing with the water, sewage, and refuse funds and ended with tempers flaring.

The bottom line for all three funds, according to council members, is that the rates should be raised in order to allow the village to continue with water plant repairs, the EPA required sewage

plant overhaul and the removal of all kinds of refuse from the village.

The majority of both the work session and regular meeting were spent discussing the sewage plant and sewage separation projects, including where the combined $5.8 million will come from.

At this point the, according to Brice Schmitmeyer of Fanning/Howey Engineers, the village would end up with about $3.87 million in loans after all of

the different grants have been applied — $2.25 million on the sewage plant, up to $1.12 million on the separation project and an estimated $0.5 million on needed repairs to the water treatment plant.

The worst scenario given by village administrator Roger Looker would require the monthly sewer bills to be raised $6.03, the water to be raised $5, and the refuse to increase $5.45; however the best case would only See Hikes /Page 2

Unique techniques part of teaching experience

BY JOHN HAUER For the Daily Call editorial@dailycall.com PIQUA — The opening of a school year is a new beginning for staff and students.

But, for Sprinkcreek Primary School intervention specialist Sally Ellis, it is also an ending. Ellis who oversees the school garden is planning the fall harvest of pumpkins, potatoes, and the last of the vegetables.

“The students come back to school excited about seeing what has grown during the summer,” she said.

Ellis was born and raised in Pemberville, a farming community near

Bowling Green. She graduated from Eastwood High School in 1981. She played percussion instruments in the band and was a member of the Latin Club and the yearbook staff. After school, she worked part-time at Friendly’s where she met her future husband.

After high school, Ellis went to Bowling Green State University to major in education. “I knew I See Unique /Page 2

PIQUA — The new state core curriculum set by the Ohio Department of Education no longer requires schools to teach cursive. Instead, emphasis is placed on typing and computer skills.

And while some schools have chosen to drop cursive from their curriculum, Piqua City Schools is among those keeping it in the classroom. Curriculum Director Dwayne Thompson can see the value in learning the skill.

“We want to offer the best tools possible for our students with their writing so they can be fluid and legible in order to communicate their ideas the most effective way possible,” Thompson said. “By not giving kids cursive skills, you’re limiting them.”

Teaching cursive is a hot topic among parents and school leaders everywhere.

Thompson finds this surprising, saying that cursive was never mentioned specifically in the former state standards.

These core standards required students to be able to print upper and lower case letters in kindergarten and first grade.

From second grade on, they must be able to write legibly.

Hikes Continued from page 1 raise the monthly sewage up $2.80, water up $2.78, and refuse up $5.

The refuse removal fund is losing an average of $22,670 per year and all of Rumpke’s options will increase that deficit to around $30,000 per year by the third contract year.

Council is waiting until more of the projects’ numbers have been finalized before raising rates, since the amounts needed are still estimates.

This uncertainty caused severe caution by council.

Council then voted not to allow the mayor to sign the notice of award for Judy excavation — the bid winner for the sewage plant project.

The notice, according to Looker, would only show intent to go forward with the project and allow Dan Judy to talk to his suppliers and firm up supply costs.

Council voiced their concerns.

Galen Balmert stated that he was “gun shy” because of all the “changing numbers.”

Jeff Wirrig and JB Fritts asked,

“what happened to the contingency plan?”

Several expressed displeasure in Fanning/Howey’s execution of these projects.

Don Stump and Bill Favorite were the only two talking about moving forward with any of the projects.

Looker asked, “If you are going to move forward, what do you need?”

In the end, after all council members had their say, Schmitmeyer agreed to put together as many of the final numbers as he could by the next meeting.

Council also voted again for the notice of award, this time it passed 4-2. Fritts and Balmert changed their votes to yes, since it wasn’t a final contract and would allow for more finalized numbers.

Fritts summed it all up saying, “we wouldn’t want to go halfway and not finish.”

In related business, council approved the new ordinance establishing a “fee for turning on water service.” The fee will be $25 during village hours and $50 after

hours.

However, this ordinance passed 4-2, with Balmert and Wirrig against.

Balmert said later, “I feel it is punishing those who pay their bill regularly,” especially those residents who go elsewhere for winter or in case of emergency.

Council also approved a new ordinance establishing a policy for pick-up of brush material by village employees.

In other business, council • Authorized 2012 public defender’s contract for Miami County services at the same price as last year — $485 annually.

• Established Trick or Treat to be from 6-8 p.m. Oct. 31 • Set a public relations meeting for 7 p.m. Monday, Sept. 26 • Approved the updating of the ordinances on the website and in the library editions of all 2010 ordinance changes and additions • Filed no objections to Patty’s IGA’s liquor permit renewal The next regular council meeting will be 7 p.m., Oct. 13, in the Village council chamber.

Cursive Continued from page 1 Thompson believes that many translated the “write legibly” as write in cursive. Since nothing is mentioned in the new standards after print letters are learned in kindergarten and first grade, many think cursive has been left out of the standards.

“I think people have interpreted that now cursive is missing (from the core standards) when it really has been for a while,” he said.

Two years ago, Piqua City Schools began using a program called Handwriting Without Tears.

Thompson saw the need for the program after the rough draft of the state’s core standards was released. He surveyed teachers to get their input on where students’

handwriting and typing skills were. The director found that as kids get into secondary school, teachers wished they had better handwriting so they could better express themselves.

Through research, Thompson has seen the importance of cursive writing firsthand. The district formed a handwriting committee.

Thompson gave an oral presentation to those on the committee. He asked them to take notes only in print. Then he gave the presentation again and asked that notes only be taken in cursive.

“You could see the light bulb go off,” he said adding that because the pencil doesn’t have to be picked up when writing in cursive, ideas are able to be expressed more flu-

idly.

Thompson said that many believe students should only learn to sign their name in cursive. He questions how a student can learn to sign his name when he has not learned the basics of cursive and how the letters work together.

State standards have a learning to print curriculum beginning in kindergarten. By the end of the school year, most upper and lower case letters should be mastered with all upper and lower case letters being mastered by the end of first grade. at Nicklin Those Learning Center are trying to have all letters mastered by the students by the end of the year. In first grade, print letters are reinforced. From then on, opportunities are pro-

vided to print.

In Piqua, cursive is taught in second grade.

By the end of third grade, all letters in both upper and lower case are learned. From this point on, teachers are responsible for offering opportunities for students to use the skill.

Keyboarding begins in third grade in Piqua schools. Thompson believes it is important to start at this age to catch problems before they become habits. While finger dexterity is questionable at younger ages, the district hopes to bring typing to them as well.

“The technical department and I are looking at programs (for younger children). I want to get kindergarteners as integrated as I can,” Thompson said.

work at Duke University.

Sally taught special needs students in grades 6-8 at Woodlawn Middle School for three years. “It was a traditional southern, rural school district,” she said. “It was quite a culture shock living and working in such a different setting.”

Next, the couple went to Little Hocking, on the river at the Ohio-West Virginia border. “For one year, I worked with hardcore juvenile offenders who had drug or alcohol problems,” she said. “It was the most difficult situation you could ever imagine.”

In 1990, Ed was hired by the Greene Street United Methodist Church in Piqua. “I started working at High Street School

under the supervision of Tom Ringer the principal,” Sally said. “That turned into teaching positions at High Street, Favorite Hill, and now, Springcreek.”

Ellis currently co-teaches 1st and 2nd grade. “I am fortunate to work with two talented teachers — Angie Younce in the 2nd grade morning classes and Kenzie Kahlig in the afternoon 1st grade classes,” she said.

Ellis uses different techniques to help her students learn. “I remember when I was in third grade I could not read,” Ellis said. “My third grade teacher Mrs. Close never gave up on me, and she tried different things, and it worked. I try to never forget how frustrating that was until Mrs. Close showed me how to succeed. Every child deserves that kind of dedication and perseverance.”

The school garden idea came from Ellis and Springcreek principal Molly Hay. “Molly knew I loved to garden, and she suggested I start a student

garden,” Ellis said. “The project has just taken off, and the students get very involved with the planting, maintaining, and harvesting.” The students have made salsa from the tomatoes, onions, and cilantro.

“The kids are amazed that they can turn the things in the garden into real food they can eat.”

At home the Ellis’s enjoy camping and traveling.

“We planned vacations so our children would visit all the 48 states we could drive to and camp in,” she said. Ed works as the chaplain for Hospice of Miami County. Son Nate will graduate this term from Miami University with a degree in psychology.

Daughter Jessica is a sophomore at Miami majoring in bio-chemistry. And, daughter Amanda is a freshman at Piqua High School. The family lives on 2 ½ acres on the outskirts of Piqua. And of course, Sally has a very large garden and a flock of chickens to keep her busy.

Unique Continued from page 1 wanted to be a teacher,” she said. “In the beginning, I wasn’t sure which area I wanted.” While in college, she worked in a group home for three years in Wood County. “That experience and helping several of my hearing impaired relatives led to my desire to work with special needs students,” she said.

Ellis earned her bachelor’s degree in special education in 1985. She has additional graduate school hours from the University of Dayton and Wright State University.

Upon graduation, she married her husband Ed, and the couple moved to Durham, N.C., where Ed completed his seminary

Molly Hay and Mindy Gearhardt, principals, smile with their students from Springcreek and Favorite Hill while showing off the progress of the United Way campaign in Piqua. At $315,270, the campaign stands at 56 percent of the $565,000 goal. From left, Hay, Keagan Patton, Lance Reaves, Silas Bragg, Kamora Tipton, Makenzy Jollliff, Connor Smith and Gearhardt.

More myths about the United Way Editor’s Note: This is the third in a series of articles concerning the annual United Way fundraising campaign. The Piqua United Way 2011 campaign is currently underway. Donations collected in Piqua will stay in Piqua to assist a variety of agencies.

PIQUA—Organizations as large as the United Way Worldwide seems to gather myths around it that turn out to be not completely thought through.

Piuqa Area United Way Executive Director Ginny Koon, offered answers to several myths surrounding the organization.

“The following are six questions that I am asked about from time to time and their answers,” she said: • Why is the United Way a better choice than making a gift to an individual agency? It is a matter of leverage. You could give $100 to one of our member agencies and they would be grateful for your help. However, when you give that $100 through United Way, it is added to the thousands of other gifts received, and together, they provide enough funding to continue a year’s worth of programming in our community and allowing agencies to collaborateputting systems in place that help people now and in the future.

Your United Way gift is more than a charitable donation. It is all of us working together to help, not only families in need, but to improve the quality of life for our entire community. Bottom line: What affects any of us affects all of us.

• My gifts do not stay in my community. Actually, nothing could be further from the truth. The United Way is one of the most “local” of all national charities in terms of it governing body and operations.

An overwhelming majority of campaign dollars stay right her in Piqua. We

send one cent of every dollar raised to United Way Worldwide for membership fees. That 1 percent is returned many times over in the form of support services and training, national advertising campaigns and relationship management with the Global Corporate Leaders. The only other funds that leave the city are by donor designation.

• United Way doesn’t support what I believe in.

Every United Way is a separate non-profit that is locally governed and controlled. That means every United Way reflects the values of that particular community. Sometime a United Way in another city or state may fund a program that some people in our community would not support. You don’ need to worry that your contribution will go to that charity. Your donation, like all United Way donations, stays right here. For example, while the United Way is not a faith-based organization, a portion of the money we distribute each year supports programs from the Salvation Army, the Piqua Compassion Miami Network, the County YMCA and the YWCA of Piqua. The support we give to these member agencies is specifically for social service programs they administer.

• Does my designation really go to the program I indicate? The Piqua Area United Way processes every contribution per donor instruction. On the rare occasion that we are unable to process a contribution to another organization, we contact that donor to offer suggestions for a similar program that may resonate with them.

Because every United Way is different, designations policies differ. Locally, we have an open designation policy. Contributions can be directed to a specific non-profit anywhere in the United States. Donations sent to other non-profits outside our local member agency network will incur a processing fee.

• Too much of my gift is

used for overhead and not enough goes to the charitable causes I want to support. Our administrative costs have always been low. This year, we’re proud to say that our fundraising and administrative costs are at about 13 percent, which is half the national average. Many people are surprised to learn that a substantial amount of time at our local United Way is spent on charitable programs and services and surpasses time spent on fundraising. Often, when people think of United Way, they think of fundraising, but, we’re also busy doing work that directly impacts our community—just like the programs we fund. Over the past year, we have administered the Emergency Food and Shelter Program, a federally funded program that sends money to Miami County for the Piqua Area United Way to administer. In addition, we produce the Teens Taking Charge program for the non-profit segment of the Piqua Chamber of Commerce’s Piqua Teen Leadership program. We have also participated in the county’s Continuum of Care, and participating in the Miami County Health Survey, serving on the Prevention Committee among other things.

• United Way pushes people to give. We know that our greatest resource is relationships and the mutual trust we have with community members.

Money is secondary to relationships when it comes to accomplishing our mission of improving lives. In fact the United Way Worldwide, our parent organization, actually has an established policy against coercion to which we adhere. Giving to the United Way is a personal decision individuals must make based on their household budgets and personal preferences. We appreciate any willingness to help the United Way provide and support local human services. Every contribution matters.

Lehman graduate returns to teach music SIDNEY — Jacquelyn Jenkinson may be a new teacher at Lehman Catholic High School, but the hallways and the bell schedule are very familiar to her. Jenkinson, a 2004 graduate of Lehman Catholic, is the new choir director at her alma mater.

The former Jacquelyn Seger holds a bachelor’s degree in music education from Miami University.

While at Miami, Jenkinson was involved in numerous ensembles including marching band, symphonic band, steel pan, and percussion groups. Although she played both the clarinet and mallet percussion at Lehman, she chose to major in percussion at Miami. Her vocal training started while at Lehman, with two years in what was then called Varsity Choir and two years in the Limelighters Show Choir.

After a year as the band director at Fort Recovery High School, Jenkinson spent two years subbing and working with percussionists at Lehman, Anna, and Piqua High Schools.

During that time, she did long-term subbing in vocal music at Fairlawn High School. That experience gave her the confidence to apply for the choral position opening at Lehman.

“It is nice to be back and the transition has been surprisingly easy,” Jenkinson said. “I have been working with the percussion section for the last two years, so I already knew a lot of the students.”

Jenkinson is teaching three choir classes — Concert Choir, Cavalier Choir, and the Limelighters. She also is continuing to help with the band.

This year’s show choir includes 19 singer-dancers, six combo musicians, and two crew members. “My main focus has been to instill the structure and discipline that I remember from my high school years at Lehman,” Jenkinson said. “The music that I

have selected for the group should generate high energy performances. The Limelighters have always been Lehman’s top ambassadors and I want them to represent the school well.”

The Cavalier Choir is more of a concert group that will concentrate on singing rather than adding movement. “Vocally, I hope that the two groups will eventually be at the same level,” Jenkinson said.

“The difference will be the style and complexity of the music.”

Jenkinson has chosen the Concert Choir to be more of a training choir, where students without much musical background can learn the fundamentals of music. “I want them to have the basics so they can move on to Cavalier Choir or the Limelighters if they choose,” she said.

“But even if they don’t sing in another group, they will learn to appreciate all types of music.”

The only thing that is a little intimidating is becoming a colleague of her former teachers, including Lehman Band Director Elaine Schweller-Snyder.

“They have really made it easy, though,” said Jenkinson. “I want to call them mister or misses instead of by their first names, but they quickly correct me and put me at ease.”

The daughter of Bernard and Darlene Seger of Sidney, Jenkinson and her husband Jeremy live in Russia. Her sisters Jessica and Julia are also Lehman graduates (classes of 2008 and 2009) and both girls were involved in band and choir in high school. Brother Jared is a Lehman freshman and taking after his sister, he is a percussionist in the band. Mom “Darlene” has been an active member of the Lehman Music Boosters for many years, so having Jacquelyn teaching music at Lehman just seems like a natural fit for the Seger family.

Bush, Perry rift roots in nixed in-law appointment Change is inevitable Commentary

BY WILL WEISSERT AUSTIN, Texas (AP) Here’s the still-beating heart of the rift between Texas Gov. Rick Perry and his predecessor, George W. Bush: When Bush was governor he refused to appoint Perry’s brother-in-law to the Texas appeals court bench.

With Perry now running for president, the spotlight is shining on the tense relationship between the two Texans and their allied camps.

In public, both Perry and Bush shrug off any friction.

“Between the Bushes and Rick Perry there is absolutely no rift at all,” Perry recently told conservative radio show host Sean Hannity.

When Bush was asked in a separate interview about it, he mentioned Karl Rove, one of his most trusted advisers, and said: “Maybe with Karl. Not with my brother, with my dad, not with me at all. I admire him.”

Despite all the niceties, Perry didn’t hold back when asked during a recent Republican debate about Rove’s comments that Perry’s 2010 book “Fed Up!” contained such explosive language that it could be “toxic” in the general presidential election.

“Karl has been over the top for a long time in some of his remarks,” Perry said.

Bush’s vice president, Dick Cheney, also has chastised Perry for branding Social Security “a Ponzi scheme.”

Perry responded to that by saying, “If Vice President Cheney or anyone else says that the program that we have in place today, and young people who are paying into that expect that program to be sound and for them to receive benefits when they reach retirement age, that is just a lie.”

These were just the latest tiffs in a spat that goes back to 1995. Perry was the state’s agricultural commissioner and Bush was the newly sworn-in governor. Perry lobbied for the appointment of his wife’s brother, Joseph E. Thigpen, to a vacancy on the 11th Court of Appeals in Eastland. Bush turned him down.

Bill Ratliff, who was Perry’s first lieutenant governor, said Perry blames Rove for denying the request. “It created some friction between the two and Karl got blamed.”

Bill Miller, a veteran Austin political consultant, confirms Ratliff’s recollection.

“The staff always takes the blame,” Miller said. “Karl absolutely was the surrogate.”

In a letter on commission stationary and dated Dec. 17, 1994, Perry wrote a recommendation to Clay Johnson, Gov.-elect Bush’s director of appointments.

“Let me, for the sake of ‘truth in advertising,’ share that Joseph is my brother-in-law,” Perry said. “He is an outstanding talent who has the ability to be a distinguished jurist.”

The appointment would last only the two years remaining on the vacant seat’s term, then the judge would face an election. “I obviously will campaign vigorously for him in 1996,” Perry said of Thigpen.

Bush spokesman Freddy Ford did not return messages seeking comment on the matter. Mark Miner, Perry’s campaign spokesman, said the request “has no bearing on the good relationship between President Bush and Governor Perry.”

Excerpts of recent editorials of statewide and national interest from Ohio newspapers: Akron Beacon Journal Rarely does the Ohio Supreme Court please both sides in a legal conflict. Yet, on Wednesday, the reaction proved as unanimous as the 7-0 court ruling in what had been a most contentious argument over the public trust and private property rights along the shore of Lake Erie. The Ohio Lakefront Group representing property owners called the decision a “big win.” The Ohio EnCouncil vironmental claimed “a huge, huge victory.”

How did the court pull off the feat, Justice Terrence O’Donnell writing the opinion?

For starters, the ruling won applause from environmental groups by repairing an egregious decision of the 11th District Court of Appeals.

The lower court looked at the question of where private property rights end and the public trust begins. … The appeals court departed from long precedent, joining the view the boundary that changes with the water level of the lake from moment to moment. …

To its credit, the Supreme Court essentially returned to precedent, pointing to laws and rulings dating to the 19th century. It located the boundary at the “natural shoreline,” or “where the water usually stands free from disturbing causes,” such as storms and droughts. …

What cheered property owners was the reaffirmation of individual property rights. O’Donnell wrote: “This court has a history of protecting property rights, and our decision today continues that long-standing precedent.” …

Richard Cordray, then attorney general, pressed the appeal, after the Department of Natural Resources passed. Good thing that he did. The Supreme Court seized the opportunity to reaffirm middle ground, emphasizing the importance of individuals property rights yet returning to what Ohioans share, must protect and deserve to enjoy, Lake Erie and its shoreline.

Woman awaiting her divorce fears suitors won’t materialize DEAR ABBY: I’m going through a divorce and have decided not to begin dating until it’s final. I’m doing this because I wouldn’t be comfortable dating someone who is still married. I told myself I would politely explain this to any gentleman who asks me out, but no one has — and I’m a little bothered by it. No one approaches me at all. I don’t wear my ring and I consider myself to be a very attractive person.

I have had several boyfriends throughout my life, and looking back at them and my marriage, I realize that I was the first to show an interest and ask them out. I’d like it if a guy approached me and made the first move. I’m worried that when I’m ready to date it won’t happen. I understand that approaching a stranger is a little unnerving, but I’m beginning to take it personally.

Please don’t suggest going to activities outside the home to meet people.

I work and go to school full-time, so that’s not an option anytime soon.

— LOOKING FOR A DATE —IN THE FUTURE DEAR LOOKING (BUT NOT LOOKING): If you’re asking me how to get a man to ask you out so you can tell him, “No, I’m not ready,” I’m sorry but I can’t help you.

I don’t know the circumstances of your divorce, but if they were hurtful, it is not uncommon for the injured party to “become invisible” until he or she heals enough to once again send out “available and interested” vibes. You say you’re not quite there yet, which may be why you’re not attracting any interest.

While your schedule is so full — unless you meet someone at school or through your job — your love life may have to stay on hold until you can squeeze it in.

DEAR ABBY: I have a friend who routinely makes offhand, sarcastic remarks to me. He recently told me my story wasn’t worth listening to, which makes me wonder if he’s insecure or just doesn’t care for my company. I feel devalued and I’m beginning to be weary of his “zingers.” Sometimes I’d rather not be in his company, but my wife and I have no problem

Advice with his wife. Any suggestions?

— SICK OF THE ZINGERS IN MILWAUKEE DEAR SICK OF THE ZINGERS: This “friend” may think he’s being clever, or he may be utterly tactless. If you’d rather not be around him, follow your instincts and avoid him. His wife and yours can continue their friendship, and if the woman asks why there are no more foursomes, she should be told the truth. Once they see their social circle is shrinking, he may change his ways.

And if he doesn’t, you will no longer have to tolerate his rudeness.

DEAR ABBY: I was dating this guy for 5 1/2 years. It was a struggle because of all the problems I suffered through in my previous relationships. He assured me that he wasn’t like the rest. I believed that we were getting back on track, slowly.

A few days ago, I received a letter in the mail from a woman telling me they had gotten married.

Enclosed was a wedding picture of the two of them. The date of the wedding was on the back of the picture. I was shocked to see that the wedding had taken place while we were together.

What should I do?

— HURTING HEART IN OHIO DEAR HURTING HEART: Send her a thank-you letter, tell her you won’t be seeing her husband again in this life and write him off. And one more thing: Be grateful she clued you in, because if she hadn’t, you could still be wasting time with this two-timing liar.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Brad Pitt was unable to put the cat out of first place at the weekend box office.

Walt Disney’s “The Lion King” reissue was No. 1 for the second-straight weekend with $22.1 million, according to studio estimates Sunday. That puts it just ahead of Pitt’s baseball drama “Moneyball,” a Sony Pictures release that opened at No. 2 with $20.6 million.

Debuting closely behind at No. 3 was the Warner Bros. family film “Dolphin Tale” with $20.3 million.

“Dolphin Tale” stars Harry Connick Jr., Ashley Judd and Morgan Freeman.

The 3-D reissue of 1994’s “The Lion King” has taken in $61.7 million since opening the previous weekend to a much bigger audience than expected. That’s on top of nearly $800 million worldwide the movie made in its original run and a 2002 re-release.

The film has done so well that Disney plans to leave it in theaters longer than the two-week run the studio initially planned as a prelude to its Blu-ray home-video debut Oct. 4, said Dave Hollis, Disney’s head of distribution.

The studio has not yet decided how long or how widely the film would play theatrically after the Bluray release, Hollis said.

“Consumers I think will be happy to consume it in multiple ways for this kind of franchise, as they have for the last 17 years,” Hollis said.

“The Lion King” held up well despite a rush of four new wide releases this weekend.

“Twilight” co-star Taylor Lautner’s action tale “Abduction” opened at No. 4 with $11.2 million. The Lionsgate release casts Lautner as a teen hurtled

partner needed for slam, so he carried on to six.

The slam had reasonable chances of making, but failed when Woolsey, despite West’s pre-emptive bid, elected to play the clubs normally, cashing the A-K. After that, he had to lose a club and a diamond for down one.

When Ricardo Janz and Carlos Camacho of Brazil held the NorthSouth hands, the bidding went:

the film will stick around in theaters well into the fall.

It was a solid start for a film that looked dead in the water after Sony benched a previous version of “Moneyball” just days before shooting was to start in 2009.

That incarnation would have been made by Pitt’s pal Steven Soderbergh, who directed him in the “Ocean’s Eleven” movies.

But Sony pulled the plug in a squabble with Soderbergh over the script.

Soderbergh departed, but Pitt stuck with it, determined to bring Michael Lewis’ best-seller “Moneyball: The Art of Winning an Unfair Game” to the screen.

Much of the book dealt with the number-crunching sabermetrics system Beane adopted. To bring out the drama, Sony hired

Eventually, Camacho played the ace and was rewarded with the fall of the jack. He then conceded the nine to the king and scored the rest of the tricks, giving Brazil a 16IMP pickup on the deal.

Here the U.S. West chose the unfortunate lead of a club, solving declarer’s problem in that suit. Camacho then crossed to dummy with a spade and played the queen of diamonds, ducked all around.

Another action thriller, Open Road Films’ “Killer Elite,” debuted at No. 5 with $9.5 million. The movie stars Jason Statham, Robert De Niro and Clive Owen as special-ops assassins caught up in a global revenge scheme.

“Moneyball” stars Pitt as Oakland A’s general manager Billy Beane, who shook up the baseball world when his tight budget forced him to look for new ways to scout players. Jonah Hill costars as an economist who helps turn the A’s into a contender using statistical methods that identify undervalued athletes.

In this Sept. 17 photo provided by Time Warner Cable, guests gather outside before a Time Warner Cable and Disney screening of "The Lion King" 3D at The El Capitan Theatre, in Los Angeles. The Disney animated musical earned a surprising $29.3 million in its first weekend in theaters, according to Sunday, Sept. 18, 2011 estimates. The original film made more than $40 million when it opened nationwide 17 years ago.

Aaron Sorkin, an Oscar winner for his screenplay on “The Social Network,” to rework a script whose previous scribes included Steven Zaillian, an Oscar winner for “Schindler’s List.”

Bennett Miller, the Oscar-nominated filmmaker behind “Capote,” was brought in to direct.

Pitt also is a producer on the film.

“It wasn’t the easiest code to crack. You had this really great book, but to translate it wasn’t necessarily the easiest thing,” said Rory Bruer, Sony’s head of distribution. “You really needed people who believed in it, like Brad, and writers who understood it, and a director to really make it something very visual and compelling for folks to see.”

“Dolphin Tale” managed a solid start despite unexpected competition for family audiences from “The Lion King.” Based on a true story, “Dolphin Tale” centers on a group of strangers who come together to save an injured dolphin.

“The Lion King,” ”Moneyball” and “Dolphin Tale” managed a rare feat for typically quiet September, all finishing above $20 million for the weekend.

Hollywood’s overall revenues came in at $122 million, up 21 percent from the same weekend last year, when “Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps” led with $19 million, according to box-office tracker Hollywood.com.

“This is one of the September strongest weekends I’ve ever seen,” said Hollywood.com analyst Paul Dergarabedian. “‘Lion King’ got people in the mood to go back to movies, especially the family audience, and look at the combination of that one and ‘Dolphin Tale.’ It shows that family audiences are willing to go to the movies whether it’s summer or fall.”

■ Calling Around Covington

Change abounds at Covington schools this year Fry new principal at elementary; Fire department plans breakfast KYLE MOORE Columnist leading me to believe that my younger brother may have struggled if he had been a student trying to be “Caught Being Good.” That is the name of a cool new character education program in the building. All school employees carry a special notepad, making a note when they see a student doing something positive.

It could be an act of kindness, going beyond the call of duty, or just being a good kid. Anyone “caught being good” gets his or her name read on the morning announcements, plus a coupon and a pencil.

“I’d rather see kids come into my office for something positive,” Fry added. “I encourage teachers to keep sending me kids who have done something good. The office isn’t just for discipline; you can be proud of something and come in and share it. The more positive you are, the less discipline there may be.”

I asked Mr. Fry to give me one quick example of something that he experienced early on that let him know Covington would be a good fit. He didn’t have to think for long. “I told my wife the second day I was here,” he began. “I went into Subway and three people came up to shake my hand, asking if I was new in town. It was a welcoming feeling. It helped me realize that I was in the right place.”

From the Covington Chamber of Commerce, last year’s 175th anniversary denim shirts can be purchased at a reduced price at Tom Carder’s Treasures on High. The Covington Fire Department will hold a pancake breakfast from 7-11 a.m.

Troy Christian High School and Junior High students flooded the community during their annual Hike ‘N Serve — painting, cleaning and organizing food pantries, nursing homes and community centers.

Seventh-grade students from Troy Christian School including Hailey Peters and Ashley Risner, background, make cutouts for a childrens’ program at the Troy-Miami County Public Library during a Hike ‘n Serve Program at the school. dents Hailey Peters, Ashley Risner and Regan Spoltman shared their first experiences on the “serving-side” of the annual event. Elementary students participated by hiking in the woods and praying for the service projects and the ministry the students perform during the morning.

The girls helped out the library’s children’s department by helping cut out construction paper for crafts for an upcoming event.

“It’s been a lot of fun,” Peters said. “I like being able to help out my community and be with my friends at the same time— we also helped dust off

bookshelves.”

All girls agreed “graduating from the hike” was something they looked forward to once they were promoted to junior high.

“We actually got to finally serve this year,” Spoltman said. “I love coming out to the community and serving them — I love little kids and this helps them out.”

Risner said she looked forward to the day of service and to the festivities after their work was done.

“It’s fun to meet up with the little kids and watch them see the slideshow of everything we did this morning so they have something to look forward to when they get older,” Risner said.

This year’s theme on their annual Hike ‘N Serve T-shirts featured a Bible verse from Phillipians 2:14-16: “Do everything without grumbling or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, ‘children of God without fault in a warped and crooked generation.’

Then you will shine among them like stars in the sky as you hold firmly to the word of life. And then I will be able to boast on the day of Christ that I did not run or labor in vain.”

Covington Schools went through an unprecedented amount of change prior to the new school year, but by all indications, things have started as smoothly this year as ever. Granted, the district has had to endure the loss of its best looking, hardest working substitute teacher. (I take that back. Ron Schultz is still there, and going strong.) But along with that, the district has a new superintendent, and new principals at all three buildings. Calling Around Covington has decided to help introduce each “new” face leading the district, beginning with the new principal at Covington Elementary School, Rick Fry. Fry grew up in Quincy, in Logan County, and graduated from Riverside High School. He started teaching in Sidney, where he taught grades three and four for nine years.

He obtained his master of education administration from the University of Dayton and took his first job as a principal in the Southeastern Schools of Clark County, where he spent five years. And if Fry’s name sounds familiar, it’s because he spent 20 years as the principal of Washington and High Street elementary schools in Piqua.

With a lot of experience and wisdom to boast, Fry came to Covington elementary over the summer. When asked about the change, he mentioned his own hometown. “I chose Covington because it reminded me of the Quincy and DeGraff areas,” he explained. “Going back home to that type of environment — the good family values in smaller towns – the activity is centered around schools and churches. That gets lost a little in city schools.

And after twenty years, you’re ready for a change.”

While both are quality districts, Fry noted a few differences between his Piqua experiences and his current position in Covington. “Here, as a principal, I wear more hats. You don’t have specific directors for special education, and curriculum, and a lot of the things that are divided in city schools,” he said. “So I’m more involved here. I like the kindergarten through fifth-grade environment because you get to watch the kids change and grow. You don’t have that opportunity at a first through third grade building. You get to know the families more.”

From a personal standpoint in terms of professional development, Fry mentioned that he would like to familiarize himself more with school budgetary issues, learning a new curriculum with its intricacies and sequences, and just get more comfortable working and learning in the community. He also joined the Covington Optimist Club, which means the obligatory shift or two at a Fort Rowdy booth this weekend.

We talked a little about new programs or ideas he has brought to the building this year, and one stood out to me, while

The upside of economic worries Lower gas prices JONATHAN FAHEY AP Energy Writer NEW YORK (AP) — Soaring gasoline prices are in the rearview mirror.

For the first time in months, retail gasoline prices have fallen below $3 a gallon in places, including parts of Michigan, Missouri and Texas. And the relief is likely to spread thanks to a sharp decline in crude-oil prices.

The national average for regular unleaded gasoline is $3.51 per gallon, down from a high of $3.98 in early May. Last week’s plunge in oil prices could push the average to $3.25 per gallon

by November, analysts say.

Economist Philip Verleger equates it to “a stimulus program for consumers,” leaving them more money for clothes, dinners out and movies. Over a year, a 50 cents-per-gallon drop in gasoline prices would add roughly $70 billion to the U.S. economy.

Arthur De Villar, a 48-yearold safety inspector for the Federal Aviation Administration, paid $2.96 for gasoline near his home in Manchester, Mo., a suburb of St. Louis — and he recently replaced his SUV with a four-door sedan.

With three boys at home between the ages of 11 and 14, the money De Villar saves on gas still gets spent. But it goes to the amusement park, a Cardinals baseball game or the movie theater.

“It’s far better to be able to

In this Aug. 15 photo, a motorist pulls the nozzle out of his gas tank after fueling his car at a station in Augusta, Maine. For the first time in months, retail gasoline prices have fallen below $3 a gallon in places, including parts of Michigan, Missouri and Texas. And the relief is likely to spread thanks to a sharp decline in crude-oil prices. put (the money) anywhere other than in the gas tank,” he says.

Prices for oil, gasoline and other commodities dove last week along with world stock markets over concerns the global economy is headed for another recession.

When economies slow, demand for gasoline, diesel and jet fuel falls as drivers cut back on trips, shippers move fewer goods and vacationers stay closer to home.

Oil fell to $79.85 per barrel Friday, a drop of 9 percent for the week. Oil reached a three-year high of $113.93 on April 29.

Economists caution that gasoline savings, while welcome, won’t matter much to people if the worst economic fears come to pass.

“Yes it produces some relief, your bill at the gas pump goes down, but it’s going down because there are worries that people won’t have jobs,” says James Hamilton, an economics professor at the University of California, San Diego. “The news has not been good.”

And gasoline prices remain

historically high. Gasoline has averaged $3.56 this year, the highest yearly average ever.

Americans have cut back driving in the face of high prices, but they are likely to spend more on gasoline in 2011 than ever before — close to $490 billion, according to Tom Kloza, chief oil analyst at the Oil Price Information Service.

Kloza says the latest drop in prices will stick around through most of the fall. And while that may only add $20 a month to a typical commuter’s wallet, drivers say it matters.

Pat Wolf, 60, a retired information technology professional from East Lansing, Mich. responded with a “Holy Mackerel!” when he got a text from his wife Friday morning that said a station nearby was selling gas for $2.98 per gallon.

Wolf said prices in the area were $3.49 earlier in the week and he had no hope that they’d fall below $3. “It’s one other thing in the back of your mind if you are deciding whether to buy some gizmo or other,” he

says.

Aureleano Duran, a house painter in Dallas, gave the cashier at a RaceTrac gas station $55 to fill up his red Dodge pickup Friday night, but the tank began to overflow before he shut off the nozzle — at $49.21. Duran plans to sock away roughly $30 a week in gas savings. “I’m trying not to spend a lot of it,” he said. Then he excused himself: “I’ve got to go get my change.”

Gasoline prices have always varied from state to state, but the gap now is especially big.

Drivers along the coasts are paying significantly more than drivers in the middle of the country, analysts say. California drivers are paying the highest average price in the lower 48 states, at $3.89 per gallon on Sunday. Missouri drivers are paying the least, $3.21 per gallon, according to AAA, OPIS and Wright Express.

Differences in state taxes explain much of the gap. Another factor is that most of the oil used by refineries on the coasts

comes from overseas, making it far more expensive than oil piped to refineries in the middle of the country from places such as North Dakota and Canada.

The coastal refineries must compete with the growing economies of Asia for shipments of oil.

Patrick DeHaan, senior petroleum analyst at GasBuddy.com, says that while he expects the national average to fall to between $3.25 and $3.50 between now and Thanksgiving, some areas could hit $2.50. He says prices in Lansing, Mich., and St. Louis had fallen below $3 already. A price war between filling stations near Bridge City, Texas, pushed prices to $2.62 last week.

“In some of these areas prices are collapsing,” DeHaan says.

The trend could reverse, analysts say, if the world economy does not descend into recession.

That’s because the growth in oil demand from China and other developing nations will more than make up for falling demand in Europe and the United States.

The investment bank Goldman Sachs forecasts that oil will rise to $120 per barrel within the next six months.

That’s a jump of 50 percent from last week’s closing price of just under $80 per barrel.

“Whatever we see gas prices falling to, it won’t be the new normal. It will be a launching pad for winter and spring prices,” says Kloza, from Oil Price Information Service.

HOROSCOPE Monday, Sept. 26, 2011 Provided you don’t unhinge helpful alliances, a resurgence of your independence is possible once again in the year ahead. Before you cut anybody loose, however, make sure it’s to the advantage of yourself and your colleagues.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — If you are too indecisive, you might let a friend, associate or family member take it upon himself or herself to make a big decision for you. Don’t blame the person who does so if you don’t like his or her choice.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — A big, urgent responsibility that you’ve been artfully dodging in hopes that someone else would do it, is likely to be dumped in your lap. You and your lap asked for it.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — If you refuse to go along with the majority, you are likely to create a lot of unnecessary dissension among your peers. Smile and be a part of things instead of being obstinate.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — At work you are more likely to be tripped up by your own poor choices than you would be by any opposition. Subdue all erratic inclinations and eschew carelessness.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — A lot of time and effort on your part could be wasted if your strategies are poorly planned or executed. It is important to establish a game plan that you know will work.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — If the money isn’t already in your bank account, don’t think you can pay for something pricey without causing some big problems. Base your calculations on sure things.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) — Do not assume to know what your mate would want when it comes to selecting something both you and she or he would use, especially if it’s a big purchase. Check with your better half first.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — You should take extra precaution when working with tools or materials that you’re unfamiliar with. In fact, doublecheck the instructions before you embark on your work.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — A situation that has pronounced elements of possible failure attached to it should be checked very thoroughly before you get involved. It could create some serious problems.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) — If you are considering doing some refurbishing around your place, study your plan before drastically changing anything.

Impulsive action might not wear too well.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Be extremely selective to whom you go for advice. If you check with someone who knows less than you do, you are likely to compound your confusion.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Before making a large purchase, analyze your financial position very carefully to make sure it has the necessary elasticity to handle the financial stretching. Subdue any impulsive spending.

Safe Talking in Cyberspace One of Michael’s favorite activities is visiting a Web site where he plays games. He also visits a chat room to swap game tips and learn new gaming strategies.

One day he chats with someone called “Gamester13.” They trade game tips, and after a while the conversation turns to other subjects. It turns out they both like science fiction books. They also saw and liked the same movie recently.

After about 30 minutes of chat,

Publisher Scramble: cyberspace

“Gamester13” asks, “Do you like to play sports?”

Michael answers, “Yes.” Gamester13 asks, “Which sport do you like best?”

“Soccer,” Michael replies. Gamester13 then asks, “What’s the name of your team?”

Before Michael can answer, Gamester13 says, “Gotta go. My boss is coming.”

Michael is surprised and upset.

Worried, he stays away from cyber-

2. Why should Michael not give out the name of his soccer team?

3. What should Michael do when he feels uncomfortable in cyberspace?

What would you do?

Michael was very upset when he realized that “Gamester13” was not a 13-year old but a grown-up with a job. People in cyberspace aren’t always who you think they are. Maybe “Gamester13” was pretending to be a kid. Maybe he was up to no good. Then, again, maybe he just likes to play online games for fun. The point is, with strangers in cyberspace, you can’t be sure.

Did You Know?

Dealing With Online Bullies What would you do?

For the 10th day in a row, Andrew opens an email that says, “I’m getting closer.” Doesn’t recognize the sender’s address. He wonders if someone at school is trying to scare him. On the other hand, it could be a stranger.

Whatever the source, Andrew is scared. The next afternoon, Andrew is home alone. The emails come every few minutes. “I’m hiding in your house using a wireless Internet connection. You’ll never find me. But I’ll find you.”

Frozen with fear, Andrew can’t think what to do. If he called for advice what would you tell him?

Sondra is planning a slumber party to celebrate her birthday. Her parents have a set limit of eight girls, so Sondra can’t invite everyone she’d like. Two girls who are left out overhear the plans. Angry, they plan their revenge.

The girls make a “We Hate Sondra Jones” group on a social networking site. They say that anyone invited to the party should not go. They tell everyone in school the group’s address. The girls invite everyone to add new reasons why they hat Sondra and to spread ugly rumors about her.

When Sondra hears about the group address, she gets a sick feeling in her stomach. Unable to ignore it, she checks the site often.

Each day she finds a new nasty comment or joke about her. She feels hurt and powerless to defend herself. Sondra is too embarrassed to go to school and tells her parents she is sick.

Take Action!

Both Sondra and Andrew are the targets of online bullies. Whether bullies are face to face or in cyber-

space, they feel powerful when they bother other people. They may use hurtful words or threaten.

Online or off, bullying is meant to make you feel uncomfortable.

Usually, online bullying does not cross over into real life, but it can.

Wither way, it’s upsetting.

Bullying should not be tolerated, whether in school or in cyberspace. Trust your uncomfortable feelings — they mean something is wrong.

Here is what to do about it.

• Sign off the computer.

• Leave the chat room or Web site.

• Block the bully’s messages.

• Save and print the bully’s emails or your message logs.

• Never reply to a bully.

• Talk over how to hand the situation with a friend.

• Report your experience to a parent, teacher, or other trusted adult.

Be Cyber-smart!

If you feel at-risk because some-

Graphic Designer: Scarlett E. Smith

one has your private identity information, tell your parents or a trusted adult right away.

Write a letter to the editor giving your opinion of bullying.

A Few Words About Passwords You might have a password to use on a school computer or use for email. Passwords protect you.

Without a password, no one can pretend to be you. So don’t share your passwords with other kids — only with your parents. And never give your password in cyberspace.

Even if someone says “Please!”

What’s Private?

• full (first and last) name • street address • name of school • school address • email address • phone numbers • passwords • calling card number • mother’s maiden name • parent’s place of work • photos in which you can be recognized

Email Dos and Don’ts • Do get right to the point and keep your message to one screen. People who get tons of messages every day will thank you. Also, it is okay to skip the “Dear” part in emails.

• Don’t TYPE WHOLE SENTENCES IN UPPERCASE letters. It is like SHOUTING. • Do use uppercase once in a while to emphasize a single word.

• Do check your spelling, grammar, and punctuation before sending an email.

• Do use smileys, also known as emoticons. These symbols help people understand your meaning when they can’t see your face or hear your voice.

• Don’t write a message that you would not want everyone to see.

Although it is bad manners, somebody might forward your message to others.

• Do write only what you would say to a person’s face.

• Don’t use slang or rude language.

• Do type your first name at the end of your message.

• Don’t send angry messages back and forth. That’s called a flame war and it is considered bad manners.

Forgive others for their bad manners and set a good example for yourself.

Smileys :-) means you are smiling :-( means you are frowning ;-) means you are winking and just kidding :-D means you are laughing

uncomfortable — causing discomfort or distress; irritating; painful

By The Numbers

BY ROB KISER Sports Editor rkiser@dailycall.com

PIQUA — Lehman and Troy Christian are two young Metro Buckeye Conference teams looking to continue to take steps forward.

And Saturday night at Alexander Stadium/Purk Field, both did exactly that — although Lehman certainly took the biggest step in a 38-6 win.

A Lindsey Spearman kill stopped the run and Lehman was able to hold on for the win.

“We got stuck in a bad rotation,” Snipes said. “We just have to do a better job of sideing out.”

Schmitmeyer led the Lehman attack with eight kills, while Waldsmith had five kills and five aces. All four Miami East timeouts called in the match were used to stop runs with Waldsmith at the service line.

Thobe had five kills and 17 assists, while Ellie Cain dished out 22 assists.

Paulus had 16 digs and Meghan Earhart added 13.

For East, Abby Cash had 13 assists, eight kills, two blocks nine digs; while Sam Cash had 15 assists, five kills, four blocks and 10 digs.

Leah Dunivan had three kills and six blocks, while Angie Mack had four kills, one block and 10 digs.

Kelsey Vanchure had four kills and five blocks, while Ashley Current had four kills and four blocks.

Allison Morrett had one kill, one ace and 20 digs, while Allie Millhouse led the defense with 21 digs.

■ That advanced Lehman to the title match for a second meeting with Piqua.

Piqua had a relatively easy time of it in its first two matches, defeating Oakwood in two games and outlasting Fort Loramie 25-19, 9-25, 25-16.

Against Oakwood, Shelby Vogler had seven kills and two blocks.

“Shelby (Vogler) is the Scottie Pippen of our team,” Piqua coach Chris Davis said. “She may not lead us in any one category, but she finds so many ways to contribute.

She is the kind of player every team has to have.”

Taylor Bachman, who had five digs, broke Megan Rasor’s school record for career digs in the match.

Hayley Monroe served five aces, while Jasmine Davis had 14 assists and two blocks.

Vogler had 12 kills and four blocks, while Reinke added seven kills and two blocks.

Monroe had five kills, while Potts added two blocks.

Bachman led the defense with 11 digs and Davis had 25 assists and two aces.

And like the first meeting with Lehman, Piqua was a strong challenge in the title match before Lehman prevailed 26-24, 25-21.

In the opening game, Piqua had a 20-17 lead in the opening game, Lehman ran off four straight points, the last three on Earhart’s serve.

A Monroe serve tied the game at 24, before Waldsmith had a kill and Piqua had a hitting error to end the game.

“We had the first game and we just let it get away,” Davis said. “It was ours.”

A Monroe kill had Piqua within 14-13 in the second game, when Lehman quickly ran off six unanswered points.

Cain served two aces in the run, while Schmitmeyer and Waldsmith had kills.

“Lehman can run off five or six points very

quickly,” Davis said. “You see the score and you are running through your mind how that happened.”

But, at 22-16, Monroe served four straight points, aided by a Potts tip.

A Paxton Hatcher kill stopped the run and Spearman ended the match with a kill at 24-21.

For Lehman, 15-2, Waldsmith capped a big day with nine kills, while Schmitmeyer added five and Hatcher had four.

Thobe dished out 13 assists and Cain added 10.

Earhart led the defense with seven digs and Paulus added six.

For Piqua, Davis dished out 19 assists, while Vogler had seven kills and four digs.

Reinke had seven kills and five digs and Bachman led the defense with 12 digs.

The Lady Indians, 10-3, have a big week, hosting Lebanon Tuesday, traveling to Greenville Wednesday and hosting Troy Thursday.

“We played well today,” Davis said. “I don’t know if I have been in the finals as a coach, so it was nice to see us back in the finals.”

Lehman will travel to Fort Recovery tonight, before the rematch with East Tuesday.

host Lady Indians to prevail to win its second straight tournament title.

“We definitely faced good competition in this tournament and that is always good,” Lehman coach Greg Snipes said. “It always helps you when you play against that kind of competition.”

Lehman opened the day with a 25-9, 25-9 win over Oakwood.

Morgan Schmitmeyer and Ellie Waldsmith led a balanced attack with six kills, while Andrea Thobe had five kills and 13 assists.

Maria Yannucci had four kills and Lindsey Spearman served five aces.

■ That set up a much anticipated match with Miami East, who came into the match unbeaten.

“We love playing that kind of competition,” Miami East coach John Cash said. “If we could play teams like Lehman every night, we would. We know they are going to challenge us, which ultimately is going to get you to where you need to be.

“Greg (Lehman coach Greg Snipes) has helped us a lot. He helped to get into some bigger tournaments over the summer where we play against better competition. We have a lot of respect for them and hopefully, they have a lot of respect for us.”

And while a young Lady Vikings may have been intimidated last year when they played the eventual D-IV state champs on their home floor, it was a very different story this time around.

It took all Lehman had to outlast the Lady Vikings 22-25, 25-21, 2522 in a matchup filled with great defense.

“Our kids would were looking forward to the match,” Cash said. “I thought we played well for the most part. There were a few lapses we would like to have back. But, we don’t have to wait long to play them again.”

The most critical of those lapse came in the deciding third game, after East had closed within 1211.

Lehman went on a 10-2 run finished off by an Ellie Waldsmith kill on Erica Paulus’ serve.

“It was good to see us come back like we did after losing the first game,” Snipes said.

But, trailing 22-14 following an Ashley Current kill, East’s Sam Cash stepped to the service line and served six straight points to make it 22-20.

“Our kids don’t worry about what the score is,” Cash said. “They weren’t going to stop playing hard.

Piqua runs over Fairmont Buccs, Vikings record CCC victories The Piqua offense ground out a 56-27 win over Fairmont Friday night at Alexander Stadium/Purk Field — literally.

Unofficially, the Indians rushed for 502 yards on 57 carries.

“Not really,” fullback Jon Dembski said about Piqua seeing something in the Fairmont defense.

“The line just did a great job and we were able to run all over the place.”

Dembski, who is over 700 yards rushing for the season, led “Ground Piqua” with 158 yards on 20 carries, while Ryan Hughes had 104 yards on seven carries and Travis Nees and quarterback Taylor Wellbaum rushed for 91 and 89 respectively.

After both teams failed to move the ball on their opening possession, Dembski went to work with a 30-yard run setting up his five-yard score on a pitch from Wellbaum to make it 6-0.

Then Piqua’s defense and special teams swung the momentum the Indians way.

On Fairmont’s first play following the kickoff, Firebird quarterback Tom West took a shot from Brad Dotson as he delivered a pass and it floated into Hughes hand, who returned it to the 27-yard line.

On the first play following the turnover, Tyler Sage took the ball into the end zone to make it 13-0 following Evan Grissom’s kick.

On the ensuing kickoff, Piqua linebacker Brandon Pummill took the ball right out of the Fairmont return man’s hands and returned it 26 yards to the Piqua six.

While the Indians didn’t score, it created a field position advantage.

Following a Fairmont punt, Hughes went 68 yards up the middle on the first play and Grissom’s kick made it 20-0 with 5:02 remaining in the first quarter.

The Firebirds didn’t quit, getting a long kickoff return and two touchdowns on halfback passes to get within 35-21 at the break.

Travis Nees had a 43yard TD run and Dembski scored from two yards out for Piqua’s final two scores of the half.

Fairmont had the ball to start the second half, but the Piqua defense got a three-and-out and would allow only one score the rest of the way.

Piqua continued to pound the ball at the Firebirds, with Dembski scoring from one-yard out, Nees scoring on a 35-yard run and Dembski adding a two-yard TD run after a 31-yard pass from Wellbaum to Ben Crawford.

Piqua, 3-2, now has quite a two-week challenge, playing at Trotwood-Madison, followed

by Troy the next week.

And it was Winston who put Covington up 28-7 with a one-yard run to cap the opening drive of the second half.

With Covington's defense holding North in check, the offense put together one last masterful drive in the fourth quarter to put the game away.

Staring at its own 30, Covington used 6:30 of the clock to drive 12 plays to pay dirt on an eight-yard run by Alex Baskerville.

Covington plays Miami East Friday.

East pounds Bethel After a lackluster first half, the Miami East Vikings simply did what they’d been trained to do.

Kept on believing.

After being held to only 83 yards of offense and trailing the Bees 10-6 after the first half, the Vikings (4-1, 4-0 Cross County Conference) executed their gameplan to perfection, scoring on their first five possessions of the second half and pulling away late for a 4110 victory at Bethel.

And Kevin McMaken, Michael Fellers and Josh Snyder were the primary executioners.

Fellers had the Vikings’ only score in the first half on a 36-yard touchdown run, as well as their final one on a 20-yard run, Snyder had the first two scores of the second half — a 35-yard run and a 3yard pass from Colton Bowling — and McMaken was the workhorse, carrying the ball 21 times for 87 yards and touchdown runs of 24 and 2 yards.

Bethel captured the momentum early in the first half. James Pelphrey picked off a Bowling pass, giving the Bees a short field to work with at the Viking 28. On third-and13, Jon Ellerbrock escaped the Miami East pass rush and found Reed Pelphrey for a first down, then

Ellerbrock hit Austin Staggs on a 10-yard slant over the middle to put the Bees on top 7-0.

Miami East answered on its first drive of the second quarter. Michael Fellers took a pitch around the left side and cut through a gaping hole in the line, winning a foot race to the end zone and going 36 yards untouched — but a blocked extra point kept Bethel ahead, 7-6.

Ellerbrock showed his escapability again, scrambling to his right and eluding a pair of sacks then cutting all the way back to the opposite side of the field for what appeared to be a 53-yard touchdown — but a chop block penalty wiped those points off the board, forcing Bethel to settle for a 29-yard Garlough field goal with 16 seconds left, giving the Bees a 10-6 lead at the break.

Snyder kicked off the second half with a bang, taking the same kind of pitch that Fellers had scored on 35 yards for a touchdown to make it 1210, then after a Bethel three-and-out, Snyder capped off a nine-play, 60yard drive with a 3-yard touchdown reception and a two-point run to make it 20-10.

Miami East led 27-10 at the end of the third after McMaken’s 24-yard burst through the middle, and after a bad snap on a punt gave the Vikings the ball on Bethel’s 2-yard line, he took it in on the Vikings’ first play after. Fellers made it 35 unanswered points after the Vikings recovered a Bethel fumble, scoring on a 20-yard pitch.

Miami East faces Covington in a matchup of the two top teams in the CCC Friday, while Bethel travels to Twin Valley South.

Roaders drop game BRADFOD — In a game that was ground and pound from the get go, Ansonia pulled out a 30-16 win over Bradford.

Cavs beat Tigers COLDWATER — The Versailles football team suffered their first loss of the season Friday to Coldwater 36-19.

The final score was not indicative of how close the game was.

The Tigers dominated the first half, but special teams let the Cavaliers gain control in the second half.

The Tigers controlled the ball with a clock chewing ground game in the first half. The Tiger defense harassed Coldwater and did not give up any points in the first half. The Tigers scored early in the second quarter only to have the ensuing kickoff returned for a touchdown.

The Tigers other score came after a muffed punt by the Cavaliers. Versailles scored on a 17 yard pass to take a 13-7 lead.

Coldwater would return a punt for 75 yards, only to have it called back on a penalty.

The Tigers received the opening kickoff of the second half, and drove down the field for a 19-7 lead.

That would be the end of the scoring for the Tigers as Coldwater would outscore the Tigers 29-0 the rest of the game.

The Tigers will look to rebound next Friday when they welcome Delphos St. John’s to Hole Field.

Piqua boys edge Ridge Lehman wins thriller

PHOTO PROVIDED BY PAM BLACK

Tyler Broaddrick beats two Kenton Ridge players to the ball Saturday at Wertz Stadium.

The Piqua boys soccer team edged Kenton Ridge by a 1-0 score Saturday.

“We got our second straight win,” Piqua coch Nick Guidera said. “It wasn’t too pretty and Kenton Ridge kept fighting and we were able to fend them off.

“We had a few great opportunities that we didn’t convert.”

Zach Lawrence had the game’s only goal, off an assist from Tyler Broaddrick.

“The goal we had was a nice progression down the right side of the field,” Guidera said. “Tyler (Broaddrick) flicked a ball

onto Zach (Lawrence) and he beat the keeper.

“The Kenton Ridge keeper came up with a few huge saves, otherwise we could have really had them on their heels.

“Defensively we have been able to manage two consecutive shutouts, so credit is due to our Defense and keepers.

“We hope to continue playing well as we are about to begin out conference schedule. We play at Vandalia Butler, who is a very tough team, on Tuesday.”

Tuesday’s game starts with the JV game at 5:30 See SOCCER/Page 16

■ Girls Soccer

Lady Indians get past Fairborn 3-2 Lehman beats Newton 1-0 The Piqua girls soccer team got past Fairbron 3-2 Saturday at Wertz stadium.

The first half saw Piqua open the scoring in the 28th minute when Diana Burt slotted a pass behind the Skyhawk defense that Cheryl Bell was able to run onto.

Bell then tried to place a shot passed the Fairborn goalkeeper who made a great initial save only to see the rebound fall to Bell’s feet and be safely placed into the open net.

This goal opened up the game and the next 17 minutes saw both teams

light up the scoreboard.

Piqua added to their lead just one minute later when a Bell cross was deflected into the Fairborn goal by one of their defenders.

The next goal would go to Fairborn in the 21st minute when Aaliyah Patten found herself behind the Indian defense and was able to sneak a shot inside the near post past Piqua goalkeeper Kelsey Deal.

The Lady Indians wasted no time in responding when just 37 seconds later, Bell once again found the back of

the net.

This time it was a great individual effort as she beat a Fairborn defender who was trying to shield the ball as it rolled out of bounds.

Once past this defender Bell was 1 v 1 with the goalkeeper again this time no rebound was necessary as she calmly placed the ball past the keeper and into the Skyhawk net.

The last bit of offense for the first half would come with just 11 minutes remaining when Piqua was called for a foul.

Cavs edge Indians SIDNEY — The Lehman Cavaliers edged Newton in a defensive battle Saturday, winning 1-0.

Jordi Emrick had the game’s only goal on an assist from Sarah Titterington.

Back in Time Stove Shop 937-579-5102 Lynchburg, Ohio www.backintimestoveshop.com

CLEVELAND (AP) — Colt McCoy paced Cleveland's sideline trying to rally his teammates. So bad for nearly 57 minutes, the Browns were down, not done.

McCoy wanted to make things right.

One last chance.

"We need one drive," McCoy recalled telling them. "One drive and we can win this thing."

McCoy made good on his promise, throwing a 14-yard touchdown pass to Mohamed Massaquoi with 43 seconds left, capping an 80-yard drive to rally the Browns to a 1716 win Sunday over winless Miami, a deflating loss that will bring even more heat on embattled Dolphins coach Tony Sparano.

Before his game-winning TD toss, McCoy had overthrown, underthrown and flat-out missed receivers all afternoon. But when it mattered most, he completed nine of 13 passes for all 80 yards to six different receivers on Cleveland's winning drive, making up for a forgettable performance by Cleveland's offense.

"We played like garbage for the most part of the day," McCoy said. "As ugly as it was, it was a huge win for us."

Getting the ball back with 3:23 left, McCoy worked the ball down to Miami's 14, picking up a key fourth-and-4 conversion and helped along by an offsides penalty on Dolphins end Jason Taylor.

On first down at the 14, McCoy made the defining play of his still budding NFL career.

Dropping back, he pump faked before lofting a perfect pass to the right corner over rookie cornerback Jimmy Wilson and to a leaping Massaquoi.

"My best throw of the day," McCoy said. "Mo did a nice job and got that guy (Wilson) to bite just a little bit. He wasn't that open, but in the NFL, when they're like that, you just gotta make a good throw. Mo did a great job of getting his feet in. It was a great feeling."

McCoy's composure on the tense final drive comforted his teammates. He knew what it would take to win.

"Colt was relaxed," Massaquoi said. "Nobody was panicking and nobody was worrying. The mindset was just to go down there and get a touchdown."

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

While banks and Western Union branches are trained at spotting fake checks, these types of scams are growing increasingly sophisticated and fake checks often aren't caught for weeks.

Covington homecoming Antioch to king and queen crowned reopen after

three years CINCINNATI (AP) — An Ohio liberal arts college that closed three years ago amid financial problems is preparing for its comeback, and officials and students are optimistic about reviving the school’s long heritage of combining academic learning with work experience and social activism.

Antioch College, the alma mater of Coretta Scott King, “Twilight Zone” creator Rod Serling and two Nobel prize winners, is reopening in a little over a week in Yellow Springs, about 60 miles north of Cincinnati. The school began welcoming its freshman class of 35 students this weekend with orientation activities leading up to the start of classes Oct. 4.

Antioch officials and students hope the school, which had more than 2,000 students enrolled at its peak in 1972, can grow to include hundreds of students.

The college, which had been the flagship campus of Antioch University, closed in 2008 amid financial difficulties linked to declining enrollment, a heavy dependence on tuition and a small endowment. An alumni group purchased the campus and other college assets from the university in 2009 for $6 million and began rebuilding it as an independent college.

“It is an unusual startup at a time when liberal arts colleges aren’t starting, and more are closing,” said Antioch President Mark Roosevelt, a former Massachusetts state legislator and superintendent of Pittsburgh public schools.

“We are swimming against the tide in that sense, but it’s not as if we are starting from scratch.”

The college dates to the early 1850s and is known for its pioneering academic and cooperative education programs and social activism that included anti-war protests and civil disobedience in the 1960s. Antioch’s heritage is one of the attractions for students like Megan Miller and James Russell.

“I think it will be unlike any other college experience I could have,” Miller, 19, of Yellow Springs, said. “Antioch’s approach to education allows people to develop more.”

Attending Antioch has been a dream of Russell’s since he read a book a few years ago about colleges that have changed lives.

“As soon as I read the first few sentences, I decided I was going to Antioch,” said Russell, 23, of Fort Worth, Texas.

As part of Antioch’s Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science degree programs, students must design individualized majors with faculty assistance and complete six terms of full-time work, with the final assignment abroad or in a multi-cultural setting requiring skills gained in a language minor. Antioch also will require students to attend seminars on critical global issues including energy, food, water, health and public policy.
