WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama isn’t talking about it and neither is Mitt Romney. But come January, 163 million workers can expect to feel the pinch of a big tax increase regardless of who wins the election. A temporary reduction in Social Security payroll taxes is due to expire at the end of the year and hardly anyone in Washington is pushing to extend it. Neither Obama nor Romney has proposed an extension, and it probably wouldn’t get through Congress anyway, with lawmakers in both parties down on the idea. Even Republicans who have sworn off tax increases have little appetite to prevent one that will cost a typical worker about $1,000 a year, and two-earner family with six-figure incomes as much as $4,500. Why are so many politicians sour on continuing the payroll tax break? Republicans question whether reducing the tax two years ago has done much to stimulate the sluggish economy. Politicians from both parties say they are concerned that it threatens the independent revenue stream that funds Social Security. They are backed by powerful advocates for seniors, including AARP, who adamantly oppose any extension.

“The payroll tax holiday was intended to be temporary and there is strong bipartisan support to let that tax provision expire,” said Sen. Orrin of Utah, the top Republican on the Senate Finance Committee. “The continued extension of a temporary payroll tax holiday has serious long-term implications for Social Security and, frankly, it’s not even clear that it has helped to boost our ailing economy.” The question of renewing the payroll tax cut has been overshadowed by the expiration of a much bigger package of tax cuts first enacted under President George W. Bush. The Bush-era tax cuts also expire at the end of the year, and Congress is expected to try to address them after the election, in a lame-duck session. The payroll tax cut could become part of the mix in negotiations that could go in many directions. But lawmakers in both political parties say they doubt it. “I think there’s a growing consensus that Congress and the president can’t continue to divert such a critical revenue stream from Social Security,” said Rep. Kevin Brady of Texas, a senior Republican on the tax-writing House Ways and Means Committee. “I think more and more Americans understand that that payroll tax cut, while politically appealing, is endangering Social Security.” Before he was named as Romney’s running mate, Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., disparaged See TAXES/Page 5

PUCO OKs upgrade of rail crossing The Public Utilities Commission of Ohio has approved construction authorization from the Ohio Rail Development Commission directing CSX Transportation and Wheeling & Lake Erie Railway to install flashing lights and gates at a highway-rail grade crossing in Perry Township. CSX will install mastmounted flashing lights and roadway gates at the Feree Road/Township Road 144 grade crossing. The railroads will be responsible for completing construction of these upgrades by July 17. Federal funding for the upgrade will be provided. To increase public safety during the construction of the projects, the PUCO will assist the local governments with the cost of improvements such as rumble strips, illumination, improved

signage or other safety enhancements at the project location. Funding for the improvements will come from the State Grade Crossing Safety Fund and will not exceed $5,000. PUCO is responsible for evaluating Ohio’s public grade crossings to determine the need for installing active warning devices. Over the past decade, the annual number of train-motor vehicle crashes in Ohio has decreased from 123 in 2001 to 64 in 2011. The Ohio Rail Hotline, at (866) 814-RAIL (7245), provides Ohioans with a toll-free resource for all railroad crossing questions. For more information regarding these crossings, access the Ohio railroad information system website at http://gradecrossings.puc o.ohio.gov/.

William Shakespeare

The English writer and poet William Shakespeare is considered by many to be the greatest playwright of all time. While most people are familiar with the name of William Shakespeare, no one knows when he was born. Experts know that he was baptized on April 26, 1564, and believe that he was 3 days old at the time. This is why the April 23 date has been adopted as his officially recognized birthday. This date also is the day he died on, 52 years later in 1616. When Shakespeare left his home in Stratford-upon-Avon for London, it is rumored he had to leave because he was caught poaching (hunting illegally). Shakespeare married at 18 and wrote his first known play when he was 25 years old. He was a very well known actor as well as a playwright, performing in his own and other people’s plays. Shakespeare worked with a company of actors called the Lord Chamberlain’s Men, for whom he wrote his plays and performed with. William Shakespeare’s writings

have been translated into more languages than those of any other author. There are more than 80 different translations of his plays and poems being performed and read by people all over the world. Shakespeare used 17,677 different words to write his plays and poems, including 1,700 that he created himself (The word “assassination” was invented by Shakespeare). Most

• We do not really know what Shakespeare looked like! No portraits were painted of Shakespeare whilst he was still alive! • The majority of the plays of William Shakespeare were only published seven years after his death in a collection of works called the First Folio! • William Shakespeare's three children, Judith, Susanna and Hamnet were all illiterate! • Many of William Shakespeare life facts are unknown - these years are referred to as the 'Lost Years' • William Shakespeare and his company built TWO Globe Theatres!

people use only 2,000 to 2,500 words when speaking and writing, but Shakespeare was able to use seven times this number. Shakespeare is credited with 39 plays, including “Hamlet,” “Macbeth,” “Romeo and Juliet,” and “Julius Caesar.” His plays are usually divided into three types: comedies (which have a happy ending), histories (which are based on real events) and tragedies (which have an unhappy ending). There is still much debate about which poems and plays were written by William Shakespeare, as he often collaborated with other writers to create plays, which was common at that time. “Cardenio” is the name of a play that was written by Shakespeare, and performed while he was alive, but there is no copy of this play surviving today. Many people have tried to find out what the play was about, but the mystery of this lost work may never be solved. If you can find a copy, keep hold of it — it will be worth a lot of money!

Art Students Participate in Carving Exercise

Teams and individuals from Riverside Adult Services Department, RT Industries, Lincoln Community Center and Loma Country Day all participated in the 2012 “Catch the Glow” at the Troy-Hayner Cultural Center event on Oct. 13 with skillfully carved glowing pumpkin designs from more than 100 entries.

Ronald wants to know... Where did William Shakespeare grow up?

NATION/WORLD TODAY IN HISTORY BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Today is Monday, Oct. 22, the 296th day of 2012. There are 70 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Oct. 22, 1962, President John F. Kennedy delivered a nationally broadcast address in which he publicly revealed the presence of Sovietbuilt missile bases under construction in Cuba and announced a quarantine of all offensive military equipment being shipped to the Communist island nation. Kennedy also called upon Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev to “eliminate this clandestine, reckless and provocative threat to world peace.” On this date: ■ In 1746, Princeton University was first chartered as the College of New Jersey. ■ In 1797, French balloonist Andre-Jacques Garnerin (gahr-nayr-AN’) made the first parachute descent, landing safely from a height of about 3,000 feet over Paris. ■ In 1836, Sam Houston was inaugurated as the first constitutionally elected president of the Republic of Texas. ■ In 1883, the original Metropolitan Opera House in New York held its grand opening with a performance of Gounod’s “Faust.” ■ In 1928, Republican presidential nominee Herbert Hoover spoke of the system of “American rugged individualism” in a speech at New York’s Madison Square Garden. ■ In 1934, bank robber Charles “Pretty Boy” Floyd was shot to death by federal agents at a farm in East Liverpool, Ohio. ■ In 1953, the FrancoLao Treaty of Amity and Association effectively made Laos an independent member of the French Union. ■ In 1962, the hit comedy album “The First Family,” starring comedian-impressionist Vaughn Meader as President John F. Kennedy, was recorded before a studio audience in New York City. ■ In 1968, Apollo 7 returned safely from Earth orbit, splashing down in the Atlantic Ocean. ■ In 1979, the U.S. government allowed the deposed Shah of Iran to travel to New York for medical treatment — a decision that precipitated the Iran hostage crisis. French conductor and music teacher Nadia Boulanger died in Paris.

OUT OF THE BLUE Tallest man in U.S. gets special shoes ROCHESTER, Minn. (AP) — It was a tall order to fill, but the tallest man in the United States now has his own custom-made tennis shoes. Igor Vovkovinskiy stands just over 7 feet, 8 inches tall. He’s long struggled to find shoes for his size 24, 10E feet. But the 30-year-old Minnesota man received three custom-made pairs Thursday from Reebok that took five months to make. As he tried on a pair, he said it felt as if he were “walking on pillows or mattresses.” For as long as he can remember, he’s had one pair of shoes. He says he’s had 16 foot surgeries in six years because of damage caused by ill-fitting shoes. The Post-Bulletin reports that Vovkovinskiy knew who he’d tell first about his new shoes, saying: “My mom.”

McGovern dies at 90 BY WALTER R. MEARS Associated Press SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) — George McGovern once joked that had he wanted to run for president in the worst way — and that he had done so. It was a campaign in McGovern 1972 dishonored by Watergate, a scandal that fully unfurled too late to knock Republican President Richard M. Nixon from his place as a commanding favorite for re-election. The South Dakota senator tried to make an issue out of the bungled attempt to wiretap the offices of the Democratic National Committee, calling Nixon the most corrupt president in history. But the Democrat could not escape the embarrassing missteps of his own campaign. The most torturous was the selection of Missouri Sen. Thomas F. Eagleton as the vice presidential nominee and, 18 days later, following the disclosure that Eagleton had undergone electroshock therapy for depression, the decision to drop him from the ticket despite having pledged to back him “1,000 percent.” It was at once the most memorable and the most damaging line of his campaign, and called “possibly the most single damaging faux pas ever made by a presidential candidate” by the late political writer Theodore H. White. After a hard day’s campaigning — Nixon did virtually none — McGovern would complain to those around him that nobody was paying attention. With R. Sargent Shriver as his running mate, he went on to carry only Massachusetts and the District of Columbia, winning just 38 percent of the popular vote in one of the biggest landslides losses in American presidential history. “Tom and I ran into a little snag back in 1972 that in the light of my much advanced wisdom today, I think was vastly exaggerated,” McGovern said at an event with Eagleton in 2005. Noting that Nixon and his running mate, Spiro Agnew, would both ultimately resign, he joked, “If we had run in ‘74 instead of ‘72, it would have been a piece of cake.” A proud liberal who had argued fervently against the Vietnam War as a Democratic senator from South Dakota and three-time candidate for president, McGovern died at 5:15 a.m. Sunday at a Sioux Falls hospice, family spokesman Steve Hildebrand told The Associated Press. McGovern was 90. McGovern’s family had said late last week that McGovern had become unresponsive while in hospice care, and Hildebrand said he was surrounded by family and lifelong friends when he died.

Candidates cram foreign policy for last debate BY JOSH LEDERMAN Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — One day out from their last debate, Republican Mitt Romney and President Barack Obama are cramming foreign policy and taking a rare break from swing-state campaigning. Monday’s face-off in Boca Raton, Fla., represents one of the last major opportunities for Obama and Romney to capture the attention of millions of voters — especially that small but sought-after group of voters who haven’t yet made up their minds. Obama was holed up in Camp David in Maryland’s Catoctin Mountains, where he arrived Friday to prep for the debate, a 90-minute encounter focused on international affairs. With him at the presidential retreat were a band of top advisers including National Security Adviser Tom Donilon, campaign strategist David Axelrod and White House senior adviser David Plouffe. Romney planned to spend the weekend in Florida, continuing intensive preparation that has consumed large amounts of his time in recent weeks. Foreign policy has surfaced as a prominent issue in the waning weeks of the race, elevated by a deadly attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, and a restive situation in Syria. Although polls show voters continue to prioritize economic issues, both candidates are aggressively pitching themselves as more competent to be commander in chief. Applying pressure on Obama were promi-

nent Romney supporters, who took to the Sunday talk shows to argue the president has weakened national security and failed to lead other nations in confronting major global problems. Ohio Sen. Rob Portman, who played Obama in Romney’s debate preparations, lashed out at the president on NBC’s “Meet the Press” over a New York Times report Saturday claiming that Iran and the U.S. have agreed in principle to direct negotiations for the first time. The White House later said it is prepared for one-on-one talks but that there’s no agreement now to meet. Portman said the report appeared to him to be “another example of a national security leak from the White House.” “They’ve done a lot of that,” he added, alluding to accusations over the summer that Obama’s administration was leaking security information for political gain. Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel, Obama’s former chief of staff, said when the president took office, the U.S. was isolated from the global community over efforts to prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon. “Three and a half years later, the tables have been turned. Iran is isolated from the rest of the world,” Emanuel told ABC’s “This Week.” ”Now, that was steady, determined, dogged leadership, setting out a course.” Keeping the focus on the economy, Romney’s campaign released a new ad Sunday highlighting his record as governor of Massachusetts. The spot highlights Obama’s recent comment that as president, he’s learned “you can’t change Washington from the inside.”

POLICE AND swat team members respond to a call of a shooting at the Azana Spa in Brookfield, Wis., Sunday. Multiple people were wounded when someone opened fire at the spa near the Brookfield Square Mall.

Police chief: Wisconsin spa shooting suspect shot self BY DINESH RAMDE Associated Press BROOKFIELD, Wis. (AP) — A man police suspected of killing three and wounding four by opening fire at a tranquil day spa was found dead Sunday afternoon following a six-hour Haughton manhunt that locked down a shopping center, country club and hospital in suburban Milwaukee. Authorities said they believed the shooting was related to a domestic dispute. The man they identified as the suspect,

Radcliffe Franklin Haughton, 45, of Brown Deer, had a restraining order against him. Brookfield Police Chief Dan Tushaus said Haughton died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound and was found in the spa. Authorities initially believed Haughton had fled and spent much of Sunday looking for him. The shooting happened about 11 a.m. at the Azana Day Spa, a two-story, 9,000-squarefoot building across from a major shopping mall in Brookfield, a middle-to-upper class community west of Milwaukee. Hours later, a bomb squad descended on the building, and Tushaus said an improvised explosive device had been found inside. It was not clear whether it remained a threat.

TAXES the payroll tax cut, calling it “sugar-high economics” that wouldn’t promote long-term growth. Social Security is funded by a 12.4 percent tax on wages up to $110,100, rising to $113,700 in 2013. Half is paid by employers and the other half is paid by workers. For 2011 and 2012, Congress and Obama cut the share paid by workers from 6.2 percent to 4.2 percent. A worker making $50,000 saved $1,000 a year, or a little more than $19 a week. A worker making $100,000 saved $2,000 a year. The beauty of the tax cut is that is shows up in weekly paychecks, giving workers more money to spend or save. The downside is that some workers may not notice a $19-

Haughton’s father, Radcliffe Haughton, Sr., spoke to a television station and The Associated Press shortly before police announced his son’s death. In telephone interviews from Florida, he said he had last spoken to his son a few days ago, but didn’t have any indication anything was wrong. He begged his son to turn himself in. After learning of his son’s death, he said, “This is very sad.” Police released little about Haughton other than a physical description and a photo. Online court records showed a temporary restraining order was issued against him Oct. 8 in Milwaukee County Circuit Court because of a domestic abuse complaint.

From Page 1 a-week increase in pay, making them unlikely to credit the politicians who made it happen. Under the law, Congress is reimbursing Social Security for the lost revenue, estimated at $103 billion in 2011 and $112 billion in 2012. But Congress didn’t cut spending or raise other taxes to offset the lost revenue, so the payroll tax cut is being financed with borrowed money, adding to the national debt. Democrats are more willing to defend the tax cut, saying it helped prop up the economy during a rough stretch while providing what amounted to a 2 percent pay increase to millions of middleincome workers. But they, too, are concerned about maintaining Social Security’s

source of revenue. “I think people realize that was a temporary thing,” said Sen. Mark Begich, D-Alaska. Rep. Richard Neal of Massachusetts, a senior Democrat on the Ways and Means Committee, said he thinks there is evidence that the tax cut helped the economy. But, he added, “I’m not sure that it met expectations.” House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi of California said she, too, wants to let the tax cut expire. Larry Summers, Obama’s former economic adviser, is a lonely voice in Washington calling to extend the payroll tax cut. He said in a recent speech that the economy is too fragile to reduce workers’ incomes. Obama pushed for the tax

cut in late 2010 as a way to increase workers’ take-home pay to help boost consumer spending and provide a spark for the economy. Economists were divided on the economic benefits. Many said it probably helped increase consumer spending but there was no consensus on the magnitude. The initial tax cut was for only a year, and many Republicans in Congress wanted to let it lapse at the end of 2011. But Obama and Democratic lawmakers successfully fought to extend it through 2012. Obama, however, didn’t include the tax cut in his 2013 budget proposal, and Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner told Congress this year that he saw no reason to extend it again.

When I consulted my own medical doctor, he agreed with Dr. Sibbald. I suggest you also contact your own doctor for another opinion. DR. WALLACE: My mom and dad fight and argue a lot and this really bothers my brother, sister and me. We love our parents very much and don’t know what to do. They usually fight about money and we are very worried. Can you help us? — Nameless, Reno, Nev. NAMELESS: Sometimes parents are not aware of the trauma in-

flicted on their children when the parents have verbal, and sometimes physical, conflicts with each other. Seeing your letter in print can shock them back to reality! Too often children are the victims when parents fight and argue. Make sure mom and dad read this letter you wrote to me. They should be very proud of you. I’m sure your parents will reduce or totally eliminate their disagreements, but if an argument does spring up, your siblings and you should never take sides or get involved in the argument, even if asked. If parental disagreements continue to disrupt your family, the three of you should move to a quiet place in the house where you won’t hear the disagreement.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) You might see how to use the resources of others to make improvements at home. Similarly, these improvements might benefit your family or a family member in particular. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Discussions with others will benefit you today, because you can see ways to improve something in the future. Listen to the input of those who are more experienced. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) You’re focused on details and whatever you’re doing at work today, which will help to solidify your earnings base. Your efforts also might bring improvements to your home. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) You might see new ways of earning money today. If so, act on this impulse. (There’s always a better mouse trap waiting to be built.) SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Discussions with family members might be secretive or take place behind the scenes. Nevertheless, advice from someone can help you boost your earnings or discover a new way to earn money. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19)

This is an excellent day for long-range planning for the future. Whatever you do might improve your even health or your appearance. Be bold! AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) It’s easy to make a great impression on others today, especially regarding finances and how you earn your money. People see you as solid and reliable. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) You want to escape somewhere, but you want to do it sensibly in a practical way. Make plans to travel in the fu-

ture in such a way that you will improve your health. YOU BORN TODAY You are a hard-working perfectionist. You care about whatever you do (sometimes to extremes). You are naturally dramatic and have so much charisma that you can virtually magnetize others to you. You know how to develop a craft or technique, and you take pride in this skill. In the year ahead, a major choice or decision will arise — choose wisely. Birthdate of: Casey Wilson, actress; B.D. Wong, actor; Kevin Kline, actor.

needed almost a complete face lift. After determining the potential cost of the renovation to market the property, it was decided that partnering with Habitat for Humanity might be the best solution, as their many volunteers and business associates could provide the needed repairs and transform the property to a livable condition, thus providing a home for a needy family in our county.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;With the donation of

property, many options are open to Habitat in helping a partner family,â&#x20AC;? said Tracy Goins, secretary of Habitat. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is an oversupply of vacant homes in our community that are deteriorating quickly and we encourage city leaders and residents to begin revitalizing one neighborhoods property at a time,â&#x20AC;?

Race may come down to 106 counties BY THOMAS BEAUMONT Associated Press LEESBURG, Va. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; How Virginia goes in the presidential election may come down to voters who live amid the small wineries, affluent subdivisions and Civil War battlegrounds of Loudoun County. Voters in the tony Hamilton County suburbs around the humming riverside economic engine of Cincinnati may tip the balance in Ohio. To win Florida, either President Barack Obama or Mitt Romney probably will have carried Hillsborough County, where the urban seaport town of Tampa bleeds into communities of Spanish-speaking voters and retired Midwesterners. Those areas are vastly different, yet each is full of fickle vot-

ers and bound by a proclivity to swing between Republican and Democrat every four years. All are main targets as the president and his Republican challenger look for enough victories in enough states to reach the 270 electoral votes needed to capture the White House. The race may come down to an even narrower slice of the electorate than the nine most contested states: Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Ohio, Virginia and Wisconsin. The outcome probably will depend on what happens in the 106 counties that Republican George W. Bush won in 2004 and that voted Democrat Obama in 2008, according to an Associated Press analysis. The AP reviewed the vote returns in those nine states dur-

IN THIS Sept. 1 file photo, Republican presidential candidate, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney speaks during a campaign rally in Cincinnati.

Two of the biggest newspapers in the pivotal battleground state of Ohio split on their endorsements Sunday in the presidential race. The Plain Dealer of Cleveland supported a second term for Democratic President Barack Obama. The Columbus Dispatch backed Republican Mitt Romney. Anmajor Ohio other newspaper, the Akron Beacon Journal, also endorsed Obama for reelection. The Obama and Romney campaigns each quickly sent out releases highlighting the endorsement that went their way. Both campaigns have focused major portions of their resources and candidatesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; time on the state, considered likely to be crucial to determining the election winner.

IN THIS Sept. 17 file photo, President Barack Obama arrives to speak at a campaign event at Eden Parkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Seasongood Pavilion in Cincinnati. This year, the presidential race may come down to an even narrower slice of the electorate than simply the nine states where both Obama and Romney are aggressively competing: Florida, Ohio, Virginia, Colorado, Iowa, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina and Wisconsin. this trouble to sway a tiny fraction of the electorate. In 2008, there were 6.2 million votes from those 106 counties; that was not even 5 percent of the roughly 137 million who voted for president. There is no single reason to explain why these counties seem to shift with the political wind. Their voters are far from monolithic, having little in common other than their voting patterns. In most of these places, there are few truly undecided voters, forcing Obama and Romney to

subdivide the electorate in their attempt for any edge. In northern Virginia, for example, Obama is reaching out to newcomers and younger veterans. Romneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pitch is stronger toward retired military members, sportsmen and social conservatives. In Ohio, Romney needs Hamilton County, especially the Cincinnati suburbs, to offset Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s edge in Cleveland, Columbus and Dayton. Obama needs to trim Romneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s advantages in the suburbs and southeastern Ohioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coal country.

Fundraiser planned for transplant patient LIMA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Applebeeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s restaurant at 1925 Roschman Ave. will take part in a fundraiser Wednesday to help a woman who needs a lifesaving double-lung transplant. On Wednesday, the community is encouraged to dine at Applebeeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s to support Karen Gearheart as she raises funds for her medical expenses. From 11 a.m. to midnight, the restaurant will donate a portion of its proceeds to NFT in Gearheartâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s honor. Diners must present a flier for their lunch to go toward the restaurantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s donation. For more information or to obtain a flier, contact Gearheart at liluni58@yahoo.com or (937) 441-9609. Most people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t give the simple act of breathing a second thought. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something taken for granted â&#x20AC;&#x201D; until one no longer has the luxury of taking those seemingly simple breaths, people like Gearheart, who is battling COPD and needs a lifesaving double-lung transplant.

Gearheart, 53, has faced health problems since age 1, when she was diagnosed with asthma, which has also afflicted her father, brother and three children. She spent time in and out of the hospital throughout her life, and she was diagnosed with emphysema in 2004. Shortly thereafter, she learned she was also suffering from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Last year, she underwent a tracheotomy, and she relies on an oxygen tank 24 hours a day and a ventilator to sleep. Now, she awaits a double-lung transplant, which costs approximately $800,000. Even with health coverage, she faces significant expenses. She will need follow-up care and daily anti-rejection medications for the rest of her life. Post-transplant medications are very costly, and they are as critical to her survival as the transplant itself. When she receives her lifesaving transplant, she

must temporarily relocate 200 miles from home to be near the transplant center during recovery, incurring substantial expenses for travel, food and lodging. She spent nearly 20 years as a certified nursing assistant working with Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s patients, but her declining health forced her to stop working, adding to the financial strain. To help alleviate the financial burden, Gearheart turned to the National Foundation for

October 20- 26

Transplants (NFT) for assistance with some of these financial burdens. NFT is a nonprofit organization that helps patients raise funds to pay for transplant-related expenses. To make a tax-deductible donation in honor of Gearheart, send a contribution to the

These counties are home to people such as Matt Blunt, a 42year-old IT manager from Sterling, Va., in Loudoun County, outside Washington. Blunt voted for Obama in 2008, hoping he could change Washingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bitter tone, but now backs Romney. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What I see in Romney is the stronger potential for leadership than weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen in the past four years,â&#x20AC;? Blunt said, adding that Obama â&#x20AC;&#x153;hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t lived up to the promise.â&#x20AC;? In these counties more than anywhere else, votersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; phones ring every night with automated telephone surveys. Every day, glossy mailers hit their mailboxes. Televisions crackle day and night with campaign ads. In fact, voters in the Cincinnati, Tampa and northern Virginia TV markets have been subjected to presidential campaign advertising totaling $127 million, almost one-fifth the total spent nationwide this year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and more concentrated â&#x20AC;&#x201D; contact with voters in these counties that swung back and forth in these states than anybody,â&#x20AC;? said Charlie Black, a veteran Republican presidential campaign strategist and informal Romney adviser.

4-H members are two to three times more likely to plan to go to college, live healthy lifestyles and make positive contributions in their communities, according to the 4-H Study of Positive Youth Development. In light of National 4-H Week, it is important to recognize the significant lessons that can be learned at a young age through an organization that teaches the four values that members work on through fun and engaging programs: head, heart, hands and health. The Monsanto Fund recognizes the vital role 4-H plays in the lives of today’s young people and is investing in 4-H clubs across the country through America’s Farmers Grow Communities. Grow Communities gives eligible farmers the chance to win a $2,500 donation for their favorite local nonprofit organization. Last year, a total of $380,000 was invested in 152 rural 4-H clubs across 31 states. Ohio received $27,500 for 11 4-H chapters: • Columbiana County 4-H • Coshocton County 4H • Franklin Co 4-H Advisory Committee • Licking County 4-H Committee • Mudslingers 4-H Club • Morrow County 4-H Advisory Commitee • Paulding County 4-H Advisory Council • Richland County 4H Committee • Shelby County Fairboard • Trumbull 4-H Advisory Committee • Warren County 4-H Beth Boomershine, Franklin County 4-H youth educator, knows firsthand how impactful the $2,500 donation can be. “This will allow our youth to participate in a

positive youth development activity they may otherwise be unable to attend due to financial constraints,” she said. “4-H camps provide an excellent learning opportunity for youth to gain life skills, become independent and learn about nature.” For the third consecutive year, Grow Communities is gearing up to distribute $2,500 donations in 1,271 eligible counties across the country. Now through Nov. 30, farmers can apply online at www.growcommunities.com or call (877) 2673332 to apply by phone. To date, more than $7 million has been invested in rural America through Grow Communities. “The primary purpose of sponsoring America’s Farmers Grow Communities is to invest in rural America,” said Deborah Patterson, Monsanto Fund president. “One way we do that is by supporting the ag leaders of tomorrow. 4-H is a leader in creating well-rounded, successful rural community members and advocates of agriculture. I am

always excited to see our farmers directing funding to 4-H chapters.” New this year, community members can suggest a 4-H club or other nonprofit organization that is in need of funding on the Grow Communities website. Farmers can review “planted ideas” and consider them in their application. To submit a nonprofit project idea that needs funding in your community, visit GrowCommunities.com by Nov. 30. As a result of the worst drought in 50 years, more than 700 of the 1,271 Grow Communities counties have been declared natural disaster areas by the USDA. Winning farmers from these counties have the opportunity to direct an additional $2,500 donation to a second nonprofit of their choosing to assist with community needs that have surfaced due to the drought. The Monsanto Fund will select one winner at random from each of the eligible counties and announce winning farmers and recipient nonprofits in January.

The candidates answered questions submitted by the Sidney Dailly News as follows: As sheriff, how will you deal with budget cuts, including possible additional cuts in local government funds (LGF)? Lenhart: With the help of the dedicated men and women employed at the Sheriff’s Office, we cut $345,000 out of our budget in the first two

Shelby County Sheriff Term: four years. Responsibilities and duties: The sheriff is the only elected law enforcement officer in the state of Ohio and is the lead law enforcement officer in the county. The sheriff is accountable to local residents and voters. He or she is trained in law enforcement techniques and criminal justice procedures. He is responsible for his office, including deputies and support staff. Among the responsibilities of sheriff, they must help to maintain court security, are responsible for the jail and its operation and for the inmates who are jailed there. The sheriff is also responsible for overseeing the transportation of prisoners to and from state institutions and other facilities and to court appearances and is responsible for extraditions of inmates from other states. The sheriff sometimes has law enforcement contracts with villages in the county who are in need of protection and also provides security and crowd control for a variety of events, including county fairs, concerts and other events. The sheriff also provides civil processing services, which include delivering legal documents in Ohio, which can include summons, subpoenas, lawsuits, evictions, foreclosures and seizing and selling property. The sheriff is also responsible in many counties for the operation of the county’s 911 dispatch center and maintains 24-hour communications for fire departments, village police departments and other agencies. The sheriff is responsible for response to vehicle crashes in the county and crash investigation. The sheriff is responsible for other programs including OVI checkpoints and enforcement programs, drug and alcohol awareness programs, DARE programs in county schools, reserve deputy programs, speaking at local organizations, and providing education to the public regarding crime prevention. The sheriff is also responsible for overseeing the budget for his office. Salary: The sheriff receives an annual salary of $59,537. According to Shelby County Auditor Denny York, of that amount, $6,615 is rebated to the county from the state of Ohio as required by the Ohio Revised Code. weeks after I took office. I will continue to deal with budget cuts as I have in the last year and balance our budget to live within our means. I will continue generating additional revenue through contracts. Examples are contracts with the city of Sidney, which reinstituted the inmate work programs, as well as contracts with federal marshals to house federal prisoners. To save additional dollars, I am working on a program called Volunteers in Police (VIP), (whose members) will not have law enforcement commissions, but will have expertise and skill levels in various fields such as certified public accounting, personnel management, motorcycles and aircraft. They will volunteer their time and equipment. Evans: Being fiscally responsible, making good, sound financial judgments and actively seek grant funding. Also review operations for maximum efficiency to ensure money is not wasted. What do you see as major problem areas facing the department and how would you address them? Evans: Bringing integrity and respect back to the office. This starts with the sheriff. The sheriff will have to prove his integrity to the residents of Shelby County before the trust and respect can ever be regained. Also, improve supervision and direction for all employees. Lenhart: We have reduced the work force by 11 employees since I took office in October of 2011, which was made necessary through budget constraints to balance the budget. I will continue to work with technology so we work smarter and in a more efficient way. As an example, with the (county) commissioners’ help, we will be replacing the 21-year-old 911 communication system in the next six months with a system that will use a dispatcher’s time more efficiently. We continue to renegotiate contracts with electric and gas companies and are looking forward to more fuel efficient vehicles. What do you believe

are the most important attributes/skills to become a sheriff? Lenhart: The general knowledge of the operations of the Sheriff’s Office is essential. This includes investigation, jail, 911 dispatch, civil section, concealed carry, sexual predator and the animal shelter. An effective sheriff must manage personnel, budget and major criminal investigations. He or she must be able to think beyond normal boundaries to solve problems. Evans: One important quality is being a people person. The sheriff has contact with numerous individuals with different cultures/backgrounds and different ideas. The sheriff must be open-minded. Also, being knowledgeable, keeping up with current trends, technology and procedures. The sheriff must be a leader that people can look up to and trust. Why do you want to be sheriff? Evans: I wanted to be sheriff based on my dedication, passion and desire to serve the public. I have always been a people person. As unfortunate events occurred over the past several years, I feel the time is now for a change and I feel I can bring that change about. I have 20 years of law enforcement experience, knowledge of the court system and a good working relationship with the other law enforcement agencies within the county. I have lived in Shelby County all my life and care very much for the safety, security and welfare of its residents. Lenhart: As a career law enforcement officer, I am honored to be Shelby County’s sheriff. I have served at the state level as well as the local level, but at the end of the day I believe the office of county sheriff is the “front lines” of law enforcement and allows whoever holds the office to set policy and priorities to fight crime while serving and protecting our citizens. Most importantly, I believe there are times in a person’s life that require them to step up and do the right thing to make our community a better place. For me, this

has been one of those times. Why would you be a better sheriff than your opponent? Lenhart: I believe the experience I have managing personnel, finances, complex criminal investigations, financial investigations, multiple homicides and crimes that occurred across local, state, federal and international jurisdictions is a qualifying factor for me. In addition, I have decades of experience in both the public and private sector and am able to use that experience to ensure government is true to its first priority, which is to work for the people. Evans: It would be wrong for me to say that I am better than another. If elected sheriff, I plan to make a long-term commitment to this county. The majority of elected sheriffs are already retired or are eligible to retire during or after their first term. I will not be eligible for retirement for at least eight years. This means I cannot doubledip the system. I will solely dedicate myself to the office. I will not let my ego or any personal agendas cloud my duties of the office of sheriff. I will not lead by intimidation, but with respect. As sheriff, how specifically would you regain trust of the citizens in light of Sheriff Dean Kimpel leaving office in disgrace? Evans: I would conduct myself in a professional manner at all times. I will make this promise to the residents of Shelby County, as I did to my family at a speaking engagement. I will not do anything to disgrace myself, my family, the residents of Shelby County or the Office of Sheriff. Lenhart: This Office of Sheriff has started to rebuild that trust again. We have reinstated the drug task force with the Sidney Police Department, including the multijurisdictional SWAT team with Piqua, Sidney and the Sheriff’s Office. In addition, we support mutual aid with county and village policing agencies to respond to calls outside their jurisdictions. We have relieved several employees for misconduct. We have balanced our budget and are operating on a 2001 year appropriation, which is $1 million less than four years ago. As I have said before, the public will be the first to know if we do something good and the first to know if we make a mistake. We will not hide our mistakes. It takes a short time to destroy community trust, but a long time to restore it. I am committed to that restoration. What kind of leadership style would you employ within the department? Lenhart: The leadership style I personally like is to gather input from all employees through a chain of command. Each Monday morning, our supervisors have a review of activities and an open dialogue including pros and cons on the issues and problems of the week. Then, senior management will make a recommendation to me. There are many variables as to how we arrive at our decisions. Policy, procedure, finances and union contracts all have an impact. Sometimes in fastmoving criminal investigations, other law enforcement jurisdictions are in that dialogue. At the end of the day, each decision is the sheriff’s to make. I believe what President (Harry) Truman believed: “The buck stops here.”

Evans: A strong leadership is vital to the success of the department. This can be accomplished by proper supervision, command and discipline. How do you view a public servant’s personal life in relation to doing an effective job in office? Evans: A public servant is exactly that, a public servant. Whether a public servant is on or off duty, they must lead a lifestyle that does not bring disgrace to their profession. Lenhart: When an individual is appointed or elected to a sheriff’s office, police department or any government entity, we are held to a higher standard of conduct. I understand and accept this is what the public wants and should expect from their government officials. The media and citizens judge government employees by a standard which, for the most part, is different from private enterprise. And that’s OK. I believe the effectiveness and the trust of any elected officeholder will be judged not only by the job they do in the office, but how they carry out their personal lives. What do you feel is the most effective approach in dealing with offenders? Lenhart: We have a sworn responsibility to protect and serve the public. At the same time, when a crime is committed, we have a constitutional responsibility to protect the offenders as they are processed through the justice system. He or she should be treated fairly, honestly and must be protected while in our custody. The offender is presumed innocent until adjudicated. Law enforcement is neither the court nor prosecutor. I respect each of the separate functions of the criminal justice system. Evans: During my law enforcement career, including my duties as bailiff/probation officer, I have dealt with many types of offenders with many types of backgrounds. In doing so, I have treated them with respect and dignity that I would expect if I was in their situation. What are your views of work-release programs? Evans: Work-release programs are a means for a minor offender to provide for his/her family so the family does not have to suffer through a great deal of loss and to keep the individual a productive part of society. Through proper screening, the work program could be good for everyone involved. Lenhart: In the last year, we reinstated three work-release programs which were previously dropped. With the cooperation of the city of Sidney and local judges, we reinstated the inmate work program, the work-release program and we are now using inmate labor in our one-acre garden and animal shelter. This is a win for the city of Sidney, a win for the animal shelter and a win for the inmate because they have a chance to do something productive with their time. I am in the process of expanding the work-release program to private enterprise which will generate additional finances for the Sheriff’s Office. Do you favor housing prisoners from other jurisdictions as a fundraising initiative? Lenhart: Absolutely! I have reinstated contracts with U.S. Marshals again. Presently, we are housing five or six federal inmates at a daily rate of $60.

Since March of this year, we have generated over $170,000. The Shelby County Jail is capable of handling another 30-plus inmates at no additional cost. We are presently housing Miami County inmates. I am working with other sheriffs who manage overcrowded jails to have those inmates transferred to Shelby County. I want to assure Shelby County citizens when we contract with other counties or U.S. Marshals, we only accept nonviolent and the bestof-the-best inmate. Evans: I believe housing prisoners is beneficial in several ways. It provides income to the jail that otherwise would not be there. It provides assistance to jurisdictions that need it. It also provides good working relationships with other agencies. What kind of working relationship would you foster with county (village) police departments? Evans: If “county police” is referring to village and municipal police departments in the county, in any working relationship, communication is the key. I would use any and all means necessary to improve communication with all agencies within Shelby County and I would extend all available resources to agencies outside the county when necessary. Sheriffs in the past would always state this before getting elected, then once elected and the honeymoon stage is gone, the communication fades away. Lenhart: Since I was appointed, we restored a working relationship with the village police chiefs and the city of Sidney police chief. We have deputized those policemen to cross overlapping jurisdictions. A mutual-aid agreement is now in place that allows one police department to assist another police department in the county. I have instructed the police chiefs that if there is an accident, theft in progress or any emergency outside their jurisdiction in the unincorporated area adjacent to them, they should respond. I believe very strongly that any person who finds themselves in harm’s way doesn’t care what police agency responds to their emergency. What do you see as strengths of the current Sheriff’s Office? Lenhart: I believe the strengths of this Sheriff’s Office lies within the talented personnel who work there. These men and women in 2010 and most of 2011, came to work every day under the most trying circumstances and did their job as professional law enforcement officers. This past year, I have asked them to trust and follow me. I have asked them to do things that some believed were impossible with the number of personnel and the money we’ve had to work with. As sheriff, I am very proud of these men and women and the tasks they have accomplished. I am confident under the right leadership that the Shelby County Sheriff’s Office can move forward and meet the needs of the citizens of this county, no matter what our personnel numbers or budgets are. Evans: I believe the facility is strength because it is capable of handling the Sheriff’s Office needs. I also believe strength comes from the certain individuals that still believe truth and honesty are two vital things necessary to perform their jobs.

HOROSCOPE BY FRANCES DRAKE For Tuesday, Oct. 23, 2012 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) This is a lovely day to relate to others, especially partners and close friends, because you feel so sympathetic. Enjoy mutual good times with everyone. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) If you can help a co-worker (or customer) today, you certainly will. Feelings of empathy help you easily identify with whatever problems others are facing. (This is admirable.) GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Your creative juices are flowing today! This is an excellent day for artists and anyone involved in artistic activities, sports and playful times with children. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You won’t hesitate to lend a sympathetic ear to family members today. If you can offer assistance or help, you will. Alternatively, you might seek understanding from someone else. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Don’t be worried if you spend a lot of time daydreaming and woolgathering today. It’s just what it is. We all need days like this from time to time. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Be careful with your money and financial decisions today, because something might look better than it really is. It’s as if you have your rose-colored glasses on. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Your inner idealism is aroused today. You might view relationships in very romantic terms. (This could, however, make you give in easily to the demands of others.) SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) You’re definitely willing to put the wants and needs of others before your own today, because you feel sympathetic and idealistic. While this is a noble impulse, don’t be a martyr. (There is such a thing as idiot compassion.) SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) You’ll find it rewarding to join efforts with others, especially in charitable work, to help someone in need. Your goals and objectives are very humanitarian and altruistic. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Relations with authority types will be gentle and easygoing today. You might admire someone for his or her generous impulses or concern for others, and vice versa. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Because your appreciation of beauty is heightened today, give yourself a chance to enjoy beautiful surroundings. Visit museums, art galleries, parks and architectural buildings. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Think of ways to use the resources of others to improve the lives of those who are less fortunate. Romantic relationships will be especially sweet and tender today. YOU BORN TODAY You are energetic, brave and willing to try almost anything! You need to be stimulated and you love adventure. You’re talented in dealing with groups and often play the role of leader. In fact, sometimes you find yourself in the role of hero or heroine! You are always active. In the coming year, your primary focus will be on partnerships and close friendships. Enjoy! Birthdate of: Pele, soccer player; Lawren Harris, artist; Cat Deeley, TV host.

As for the incident with Santa, remember

that your son was so young he probably has no memory of it. Many little children are frightened by big strangers in red suits, which is why smart parents don’t force the exposure.

Anna stuns No. 2 Versailles The Anna girls pulled off the biggest upset of the Division III Sectional Tournament Saturday and now find themselves playing for a district championship Saturday. The Lady Rockets stunned No. 2-seeded Versailles in the sectional finals Saturday, losing the first game before winning three in a row, including a 31-29 marathon in the second set.

OHIO STATE University coach Urban Meyer celebrates with his players after the Buckeyes came back to defeat Purdue in overtime.

Buckeyes beat Purdue in OT BY JIM NAVEAU Civitas Media jnaveau@limanews.com COLUMBUS — Ohio State coach Urban Meyer talked about legends after Ohio State’s stunning 29-22 overtime win over Purdue on Saturday. But the players who were at the center of a game-saving comeback in the final 47 seconds weren’t legends, weren’t household names and don’t

wear the numbers on the jerseys fans buy to wear to games. The key players in a comeback that probably ranked with anything in the last two decades of Ohio State football were a seldom-used backup quarterback, a receiver who was so far out of favor with Ohio State’s coaches he’d had no catches this season, and a tight end who just played his way into the starting lineup in the last two weeks.

Kenny Guiton, Chris Fields and Jeff Heuerman weren’t on anybody’s list for hero duty until the magic that unfolded after more than a few fans had given up and were headed toward the parking lot. “It was a great, great win. Some of the efforts I saw today were legendary,” Meyer said. “That was a moment I’ll never forget.” No. 7 Ohio State (8-0, 4-0 Big Ten) was down 22-14, See OVERTIME/Page 19

COLUMBUS — Ohio State backup quarterback Kenny Guiton and wide receiver Chris Fields are close. “We’re brothers from a different mother,” Fields said, with a smile, after Ohio State’s 29-22 overtime win over Purdue on Saturday. Guiton reiterated his friend’s assessment of their closeness. “Chris and I are real good friends. We hang out a lot,” he said. Where they hung out together when Urban Meyer became OSU’s coach last November was near the bottom of his list of players he thought were buying into his system. They might have been close to being ex-Buckeyes if they hadn’t gotten on the same page as their coach, according to Meyer. Earlier last week, Meyer said Guiton once was dangerously close to getting a one-way ticket back home to Texas. And Fields has been so far off the radar that he hadn’t caught a pass this season coming into Saturday’s game. But here they were, holding court with the media, after Ohio State’s stunning come-from-behind win over Purdue. Guiton was forced into action when Braxton Miller went out of the game with an injury late in the third quarter and Fields, who had played in the first half, got his big chance when OSU’s No. 1 receiver Corey Brown also was knocked out of the game. Guiton responded by leading a 69-yard touchdown drive in the final minute that ended with a diving catch in the end zone by Fields and a two-point conversion pass to Jeff Heuerman. Then he quarterbacked OSU to the game-winning touchdown in overtime. After Miller went out, Guiton completed 6 of 11 passes for 77 yards. Fields caught 3 passes for 44 yards, including 35-yard reception and the touchdown catch in the endzone. Guiton quickly convinced Meyer he was a team player last spring. But it took Fields quite a big longer. “Three or four weeks ago, he wouldn’t have been on the field,’ Meyer said about Fields. “But he just changed his whole dynamics, the way he works, his practice habit and his performance.” See REWARDED/Page 19

Luck helps Colts run through Browns INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Andrew Luck gave Indianapolis coach Chuck Pagano another reason to celebrate. Hours after Pagano was sent home from the hospital, Luck became the first Colts quarterback to run for two touchdowns in a game since 1988 as Indianapolis put away Cleveland 17-13. Interim coach Bruce Arians intimated he could almost hear Pagano cheering. “He was at the house, and we’re really excited about that,” Arians said of Pagano, who is undergoing treatment for leukemia. “That’s probably as big as the win today. … I’m sure he’s feeling great right now.”

The victory came in typical Pagano style. Indy (3-3) controlled the ball for more than 35 minutes, ran for a season-high 148 yards, held Cleveland to 55 yards on the ground, and finished with two stops in Colts territory before finally forcing the last man with the ball out of bounds on the final play. The Colts have one more win than they had all of last season, and the biggest reason has been Luck — who won this season’s first head-to-head matchup among the five rookie starting quarterbacks. Luck didn’t follow the traditional script. While he had a solid day

throwing the ball, finishing 16 of 29 for 186 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions, he was more efficient running it. He had three carries for 12 yards, becoming the third quarterback in franchise history with two rushing TDs in a game. Ricky Turner did it on Dec. 4, 1988, against Miami, and Bert Jones accomplished the feat on Oct. 20, 1974, against the Jets. For the first time all season, Luck didn’t have to rally the Colts at the end. But it was team owner Jim Irsay’s postgame speech about Pagano that made Luck feel even better. “I’m thrilled to hear that. I’m

more thrilled about that than the win,” Luck said. The Browns (1-6) took the field on Sunday with heavy hearts after team officials said Friday that left guard Jason Pinkston had been hospitalized due to life-threatening blood clots. Brandon Weeden did everything he could to rally his teammates, going 25 of 41 for 264 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions. He just didn’t get enough help. After Greg Little made a beautiful juggling catch in the back of the end zone for a 14yard TD, punter Reggie Hodges dropped the ball on the extra point, putting the Browns in a

7-6 hole that they couldn’t overcome. The defense couldn’t seem to stop the Colts at critical times. Running back Trent Richardson attempted to play despite a rib injury, but after managing eight yards on eight carries in the first half, he was yanked by coach Pat Shurmur and didn’t return in the second half. “The injury was pretty bad, I guess it limited me a lot,” Richardson said. “I sat down, so, you know, it just hurt me not being out there, hurt me inside not being out there. “I didn’t want to come out. I said Pat knows what’s best. He See BROWNS/Page 19

County runners qualify for regional cross country meet

VOLLEYBALL ins said. “If you lose to a team during the season, its hard not to have that in your head in the tournament. But a lot of these teams in front of us, with the exception of Coldwater, are teams we haven’t faced yet.” • New Knoxville saw its season end at 17-7 after a tough five-set loss to St. Henry in sectional finals action Saturday. The Lady Rangers got nine kills, 17 assists and 12 digs from Haley Horstman, 20 digs, 15 assists and seven kills from Meg Reineke, eight kills from Rachel Leffell, and 24 digs from Kalyn Schroer. • The Lehman volleyball team took control early and never really let up Saturday at Garbry Gymnasium, cruising to its 20th straight sectional title with a 25-4, 25-11, 25-10 win over Triad. The Lady Cavaliers, 20-5 and ranked fourth in the state, will play Russia looking for a 20th straight district title at 3:30 p.m. Saturday at Troy High School. “The girls came out fired up which was good to see,” Lehman coach Greg Snipes said. “Of course, you are always thinking about those big matches coming up. But, the girls came out focused today.” Sophomore Ellie Sargent served 13 straight points in the early going as Lehman jumped out to a 15-2 lead in the opening game. Erica Paulus led Lehman in the run with three kills. “Ellie (Sargent) had some big runs every time she stepped to the service line,” Snipes said. “She generally doesn’t get to serve a whole lot, so that was good to see.” Ava Schmitz served the final five points of the opening set, with Paulus and Ellie Cain picking up kills. Lehman jumped out to leads of 11-4 and 15-5 in the second and third sets, cruising to the victory. Andrea Thobe filled out the stat sheet with 11 kills, 10 assists and nine digs; while Cain dished out 25 assists and added five kills. Paulus had eight kills and nine digs; while Oli-

iva Slagle pounded six kills. • The Russia volleyball team was not caught looking ahead Saturday against Mississinawa Valley in a Tippecanoe DIV sectional final at Tipp City. The Lady Raiders won their third straight sectional title with a workman-like 25-13, 25-14, 25-14 win over Missinawa Valley Saturday at Pat Wampler Gymnasium at Tippecanoe High School. They will now look to not down the district door in a much-antipated matchup with Lehman Catholic at 3:30 p.m. Saturday at Troy High School. “2003 was the last time we played in the regional,” Russia coach Todd Wion said. “It wasn’t hard at all (to not look ahead to Lehman). Because, if you do, that’s how you get knocked out of the tournament. We have taken it one match at a time all season.” Wion admitted it wasn’t the sharpest volleyball of the season for the Lady Raiders — but Russia was never in any jeopardy as it improved to 223 on the season. In fact, he used a quck timeout when the Blackhawks opened an early 41 lead in the first set and extended it to 5-1. “I just wanted to give them a chance to regroup,” Wion said. “We didn’t execute today like we are capable of. That happens sometimes.” But, Russia quickly asserted themselves. A four-point service run by Kayli Dues, with Olivia Monnin pounding two kills gave Russia a 16-10 lead and the Lady Raiders were never headed. Monnin served the game out at 21-12. After a kill by Ashley Borchers, Monnin drilled three straight aces to finish the set. Monnin had 10 kills, 10 digs and eight aces for the Lady Raiders, while Borchers had six kills and dished out 16 assists. Kylie Wilson had six kills and five blocks and Emily Francis distributed 17 assists. Camille Puthoff and Claire Sherman had four kills each and Dues

The Jackson Center team came out victorious, 26-24, 25-22, 25-23. “I expected this to be a battle royale,” said Jackson Center coach Kim Metz. “Springfield Catholic is an excellent team.” Each set, she said, came down to the wire. “We are very fortunate that we came out on top,” she said. “It was a great match. Our girls played hard. Our team is very young and inexperienced. But with each game we keep getting better and better.” Jackson Center will face the winner of the Cincinnati Country Day/Seven Hills match Saturday at 2 p.m. at Troy. Leading Jackson Center to the win was Haley Elchert with 14 kills and 13 digs. Brittany Foster added nine kills, two aces and six digs. Pauline Meyer had nine kills and 12 digs. Courtney Gies had six kills. Courtney Zimpfer had five kills and 16 digs. Jayel Frye had 26 assists and 11 digs. Brooke Gates had 11 assists and Erin Metz had five blocks.

Lehman advances to sectional finals Lehman Catholic girls soccer team battled the Botkins girls and Mother Nature to advance to the sectional finals. Lehman posted a 3-0 win over Botkins. Lehman, 15-2, will face Miami East, 17-1, Tuesday at 7 p.m. in Fairborn in the sectional finals. “The wind really played a factor in the game,” said Lehman coach Tony Schroeder. “In the first half, Botkins had the wind at their backs.” Only eight shots at goal were taken by both teams in the first half. During the second half, when Lehman had the wind at their back, they had 15 shots on goal. Botkins was unable to get any shots on goal. “We scored our first goal with 8 minutes into the game,” said Schroeder. Taylor Lachey was able to get the ball to Sarah Titterington, who scored. “Botkins played very defense,” said good Schroeder. “We were lucky to get the goal early in the game. Lehman’s second and third goals came two minutes apart in the second half. Titterington intercepted a pass at the 20 minute mark. She was 20 yards away from the goal and was able to make her shot go in for the score. Two minutes later, Tittinger kicked the ball “and Madeline Franklin jumped high in the air and got a header on the back side and we had a 3-0 lead,” said Schroeder. “Sarah had a good

could go either way.” After playing to a 0-0 tie in the first half, Springboro scored the only goal of the game with only 40 seconds gone in the second half, “Springboro was able to capitalize on a Sidney mistake and go up 1-0.” said Goffena. “When you play good teams, it just takes one breakdown and it can cost you the game; today it did. I really thought that goal affected our level of play in the second half. Instead of fighting to come back, it was almost like we gave up. We would have a few hit shots off the crossbar or go wide in an attempt to tie, but just couldn’t get one to go.” Sidney finishes its season 12-5 on the year.

starting on its own 39yard line with no timeouts, with 47 seconds to play with quarterback Braxton Miller at Ohio State Medical Center being examined for a possible concussion. It was not a situation that created a lot of optimism, but Guiton, Fields and Heuerman changed that. Then in overtime, Ohio State’s offense and defense both dominated in a way they had been unable to do in regulation to complete the comeback. Miller, who was released after doctors found no concussion symptoms, was injured at the end of a 39-yard run late in the third quarter with Purdue leading 20-14. Guiton’s first two series at quarterback

ended with a safety that put Purdue up 22-14 and an interception. But he started the final OSU possession in regulation with a 39yard throw to Devin Smith, then finished it with a 2-yard touchdown pass to Fields with two seconds to play and a two-point conversion pass to Heuerman. In overtime, Guiton connected with Jake Stoneburner for a 17yard completion for a first down. Three plays later OSU scored on a 1yard run by Carlos Hyde, then stopped Purdue on four plays. “A lot of nerves came through my mind and everything. The people around me got me calmed down and ready to go and went out and had some fun with it,” Guiton said. “It (the final

But this time, Ohio State had an answer – an unexpected one, but still an answer. Purdue coach Danny Hope said his team gave Guiton too much time to throw on the final drive and in overtime. “We didn’t manufacture enough pass rush and Ohio State was able to get better protection than I thought they should have been able to get,” he said. “They made the plays they needed to and we didn’t.” Purdue made the big

plays early, starting with an 83-yard touchdown pass from Caleb TerBush to Akeem Shavers on the first offensive play of the game, then followed that up with a 100-yard kickoff return for a score by Akeem Hunt later in the first quarter. Another big play, a 31yard pass from TerBush to Gary Bush late in the third quarter, put Purdue up 20-14. Purdue, which had given up 467 yards rushing to Wisconsin last week and 304 yards on the ground against Michigan two weeks ago, limited Miller to 47 yards rushing on 12 carries and 9 of 20 for 113 yards passing. Hyde led Ohio State with 91 yards on 19 carries, but the offense was outgained 347 yards to 342 by Purdue.

Cleveland got the ball back one more time, needing to go 80 yards in 1 second. All the Browns could do was run a play with five laterals and a fumble before Josh Cribbs was finally shoved out of bounds — setting off the celebration at Pagano’s home.

MARIA STEIN — The Anna Rockets stunned Marion Local with a 14-0 halftime lead in a mustwin high school football game Friday night here. But the Flyers scored four times in the second half and held the Rockets off to post a 27-21 victory in Midwest Athletic Conference play. The Rockets needed a win to have any hope of making it to the Division V postseason party, but the loss left them at 4-5 on the season with winless Parkway coming to Anna Friday to end the campaign. Marion Local moves on to 7-2 on the season and is guaranteed another D-V playoff spot. Anna has been a grind-it-out team all season, with the running of sophomore Christian Williams. But on Friday, Anna shocked the Flyers by going to the air for a pair of first-half score, the second one coming on the final play of the first half. Quarterback Josh Robinson hit Nick Ihle on a 22-yard touchdown pass with 8:35 remaining in the opening period for a 7-0 lead. With the Rocket defense doing its job, Anna maintained that lead until Robinson-to-Ihle struck again on the final pay of the first half, a 29yard scoring strike to

make it 14-0. Anna’s first extra point was missed, but Robinson again hit Ihle on a two-point conversion after the second score to go the locker room with a huge load of momentum. But in the second half, Marion Local running back Jacy Goettemoeller got untracked, scoring four times. He scored twice in the third quarter on runs of 15 and 10 yards, leaving the score 14-14 after three periods. Then in the final quarter, he scored on a 19yard pass from Adam Bertke with 11:12 left in the game, then broke a 23-yard run with 8:17 left to cap the scoring. For Anna, Robinson was 18-for-36 for 180 yards and a pair of touchdowns. Chandon Williams was his favorite target, with nine receptions for 79 yards. Ihle caught six passes for 79 yards and two went for scores. Bertke was 11-for18 for 109 yards and one touchdown for the Flyers. Christian Williams carried 22 times for 78 touch yards to lead the Rocket ground game, while Goettemoeller for Marion carried 16 times for 120 yards, the bulk of that coming in the second half. Marion concludes regular-season play Friday night at New Bremen.

and then get back into his workouts. He’ll start throwing a ball again around Christmas, he said, and spring training won’t be far behind. Stammen is arbitration eligible for the first time in his career this winter. That means he has a chance to negotiate his contract instead of being given a set salary, but Washington still holds the rights to him. The Nationals likely will tender Stammen a contract, he said, at which point his agent and the team will negotiate a contract. If they cannot reach an agreement, they would go to an arbitrator who would determine Stammen’s salary for the upcoming season. While the Nationals do have the option to not tender a contract and let Stammen become a free agent, he expects to remain a part of the Washington franchise. “Now I have a little bit of bargaining to go on,” he said. “I think with me having one of my best seasons, proving that I deserve to be on the big league team, I think they want to keep me around.”

VERSAILLES — Since the Washington Nationals lost their National League Divisional Series to the St. Louis Cardinals, Craig Stammen has barely watched any of baseball’s postseason. The Versailles High School alumnus said the Nationals really thought they had a chance to go far in the postseason, but in the end they didn’t have quite enough. “It was pretty disappointing,” the Nationals’ relief pitcher said. “I think it was really tough to handle because of the way it happened. It seemed we had the game won and the series won, but it wasn’t in the cards.” The Nationals lost their first round playoff series against the St. Louis Cardinals in five games. Washington had a 7-5 lead entering the ninth inning of game five, but St. Louis scored four runs with two outs in the top of the ninth to overtake the Nationals and eliminate them from the playoffs.

well in his first, third and fourth playoff appearances, but didn’t throw as well as he wanted to in game two at St. Louis when he gave up a home run to Daniel Descalso and then gave up a second run after he walked Pete Kozma. In his four games, Stammen gave up five hits, one home run, two walks and struck out three. Overall Stammen said he really enjoyed his first chance to play in the playoffs. “It was a lot of fun, and it was an experience I’ll never forget,” he said. Even though the Nationals were on the losing end of the deciding fifth game, having all four divisional series go to five games was good for baseball, Stammen said. “I think it’s an awesome thing for baseball,” he said. “It’s pretty cool to see all the drama.” And while they fell short of their goal to win the World Series, Stammen said the Nationals will set lofty goals again for 2013. Individually he plans to take a month off to rest his body and re-energize himself
