Buchy
Republican Jim Buchy of Greenville, 77th District state representative, is being opposed for election to the new 84th District House seat by Ronald L. Hammons, a former Celina councilman, in the Nov. 6 general election. The new 84th District includes all of Mercer County and portions of Auglaize, Darke and Shelby counties. Buchy, who previously served 22 years in the Ohio House from 1983 to 2000, is president and CEO of Buchy Food Service in Greenville. He
was appointed to the 77th District last year where he dealt with issues important to agriculture, civil and commercial law and insurance. He is a graduate of Wittenberg University and resides at 281 Dogwood Drive in Greenville. Hammons is retired, but says he works a few hours each week at Moser Motors in Portland, Ind. Single and the father of four adult children, he has served 22 years as a Celina city councilman and 30 years as a Celina Lake Festival Committee member. He lives at 1700 E. Market St., 109, in Celina. See HOUSE/Page 10

TODAY’S THOUGHT
CELINA (AP) — Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney and President Barack Obama frantically sought to close the deal with voters with precious few days left in an incredibly close race as this year’s October surprise — an unprecedented storm menacing the East Coast — wreaked havoc on their bestlaid plans. Ever mindful of his narrow path to the requisite 270 electoral votes, Romney looked to expand his map, weighing an intensified effort in traditionally left-leaning Minnesota. Obama sought to defend historically Democratic turf as the race tightened heading into the final week. See STORM/Page 8

firsthand look at the devastating effects of driving under the influence of alcohol in an effort to raise awareness on an epidemic that accounts for nearly onethird of all traffic-related deaths in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention web site. The lifelike simulation incorporates the same technology that is currently being used to train troops and officers in military and law enforcement institutions. The level of impairment is based upon nationally recognized formulas of body weight and number of drinks.
Participants will drive in an interactive environment with a 225-degree field of vision, force-feedback steering, seat movement, digitally recorded/produced sounds, and fully textured 3-D graphics with shading and lighting effects where no two drives are the same. The driver spontaneously determines the route in more than 100 miles of roadway, surrounded by unpredictable traffic and randomly selected environmental settings for time of day and weather conditions.

Ohio to get $1.4M settlement COLUMBUS (AP) — Ohio’s attorney general says the state will receive almost $1.4 million in restitution and other recovery as part of a recent settlement agreement by a pharmaceutical company. The U.S. Justice Department said Thursday that Boehringer Ingelheim Pharmaceuticals Inc. will pay $95 million to settle allegations that the company promoted three drugs for uses that were not medically accepted. The Justice Department says the three are the stroke-prevention drug Aggrenox, the chronic obstructive pulmonary disease drug Combivent and the high blood pressure drug Micardis. The company also promoted the use of a fourth drug, Atrovent, at doses exceeding those covered by federal health care programs.

Students attend seminar on teen issues Lehman Catholic High School’s freshman class recently participated in the annual Teen and Understanding Growth Seminar (TUGS). TUGS has traditionally been held at the Piqua YWCA. This year’s Teen Understanding and Growth Seminar was the 20th consecutive such event for Lehman freshmen. The day is coordinated by members of Lehman Catholic’s Substance Abuse Advisory Committee (SAAC). SAAC is a campus organization whose members are dedicated to educating their peers about the dangers of drug and alcohol use. These juniors and seniors facilitate TUGS for the freshman class by leading a prayer service to start the day, introducing speakers, and facilitating team building exercises and small group sessions. Senior members of SAAC are Ethan Jock, Michael Jacob, John Copella, Jacob Haller, Pierce Bennett, Ellie Waldsmith, Louis Gaier, and Katie Rossman. Junior members include Lindsay Bundy, Jordi Emrick, Kevin McElroy, Marla Schroeder, Morgan Neal, Kristopher Lee, Micayla Hanover, Olivia Sehlhorst, Patrick Blenman, Katie Heckman, Jenna Kronnenberger and Julia Harrelson. TUGS is designed to assist the freshman learn more about themselves, assist in providing guidelines with respect to handling peer pressure and advice with respect to difficult situations they may encounter. SAAC members provide leadership for the day’s activities
and also relate personal experiences. In addition to the small-group activities and team-building exercises, there were three keynote speakers. Piqua Police Officer Kris Lee spoke to the students about the prevention of drug and alcohol use among high school students. He also addressed curfew rules and the pitfalls of social networking. Lehman Catholic chaplain the Rev. Dan Hess spoke about the importance of prayer and leading a Christian life. He stressed how having a value system can help students handle the pressures of growing to adulthood. The final speaker of the day was Kevin Schultze, director of Youth Ministry in St. Henry. Schultze captured the students’ attention with his session on abstinence. “Kevin kept us entertained but yet got the message about abstinence through to all of us,” said freshman Caroline Heitmeyer. “I really enjoyed the whole day,” said freshman Adam Vanderhorst. “Each of the speakers had information that was important to us at this point in our lives. I especially enjoyed Kevin’s presentation. He was able to take a serious topic and insert some humor.” “This was another great seminar,” said SAAC adviser Tracy Hall, “The freshman students were great and the student leaders were awesome! Our speakers were excellent and the participants enjoyed each of their messages.”
Nuke plant operator opens emergency center TOLEDO (AP) — The operator of a nuclear plant that sits along Lake Erie in northwest Ohio is opening a new emergency response center. FirstEnergy Corp. says the $6 million facility is for use in case of catastrophic weather or an accident that would make it impossible to get to the Davis-Besse nuclear plant near Toledo. The emergency operations facility sits about 15 miles from the nuclear plant. FirstEnergy officials say the center is where they can coordinate with local authorities in the event of an emergency.

Did You Know? Insect-eating bats may either capture flying insects in their mouths or scoop them into their tail or wing membranes. They then reach down and take the insect into their mouth. This results in the erratic flight most people are familiar with when they observe bats flying around in the late evening or around lights at night. Bats drink by skimming close to the surface of a body of water and gulping an occasional mouthful. What do bats eat? Many eat insects. Some bat species in other countries eat fruit or nectar and even fish. Vampire bats, a small group that lives in Central and South America, feed on animal blood. What do Connecticut bats eat? Insects. What do all young bats eat? Like all mammals, young bats feed on mother’s milk.
Bat & Moth Game Ever play “Marco-Polo” in the swimming pool? This game is very similar but is played on land. One person is the bat and another is the moth. Both must stand in a circle made by the other players. The bat is blindfolded. The moth must say “moth” every time the bat says “bat.” The object of the game is for the bat to rely only on sound and tag the moth.

All About Bats
Word of the Week hibernate — to spend the winter in close quarters in a dormant condition
Page 4
Bats may be the most misunderstood animals in the United States. Almost all U.S. bats, and 70 percent of the bat species worldwide, feed almost exclusively on insects and are thus extremely beneficial. One bat can eat between 600 and 1,000 mosquitoes and other insect pests in just one hour. Bats in other parts of the world feed on a variety of items in addition to insects. Many species feed primarily on fruit, while several types feed on nectar and pollen. Fruit bats perform an extremely important function as seed dispersers. Nectar-eating bats are important pollinators. Many plant species depend almost entirely on bats for pollination. Of the 45 species of bats found in the continental United States, six are listed as endangered. These species are the gray bat, Indiana bat, Ozark bigeared bat, Virginia big-eared bat, lesser long-nosed bat, and greater Mexican long-nosed bat. MYTHS AND MISCONCEPTIONS "All Bats Have Rabies." Less than ½ of 1% of bats carry the rabies virus. In addition, rabid bats are seldom aggressive. Fewer than 40 people in the United States are known to have contracted rabies from bats during the past 40 years.
"Bats get tangled in people's hair." Although bats may occasionally fly very close to someone's face while catching insects, they do not get stuck in people's hair. That's because the bat's ability to echolocate is so acute that it can avoid obstacles no wider than a piece of thread. "Bats suck your blood." By far the most famous bats are the vampire bats. These amazing creatures are found in Mexico, Central America and South America. Vampire bats feed on the blood of warm-blooded animals such as birds, horses and cattle. They do not suck blood. The bats obtain blood by making a small cut in the skin of a sleeping animal with their razor-sharp teeth and
then lapping up the blood as it flows from the wound. The bat's saliva contains an anesthetic that reduces the likelihood of the animal feeling the prick. Each bat requires only about two tablespoons of blood every day, so the loss of blood to a prey animal is small and rarely causes any harm. "Bats are blind." Although they can't see color, bats can see better than we do at night. And, many bats can also "see" in the dark by using echolocation. BAT BIOLOGY Bats, like humans, are mammals, having hair and giving birth to living young and feeding them on milk from mammary glands. More than 900 species of bats occur worldwide; they are most abundant in the tropics.

Snake flies from Mexico to Scotland LONDON (AP) — Scottish airport staff got a slithery surprise when they stumbled on a Mexican serpent stowaway under a seat. The Scottish Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals says quick-thinking workers at Glasgow Airport remained “remarkably calm” when they discovered the 18-inch snake Tuesday under seats in the passenger cabin of a flight from Cancun, Mexico. It says the young snake was taken to its Glasgow animal center, and has been named Furtivo, Spanish for “sneak.” It said Friday that Furtivo, a member of the Dryadophis family of snakes, was nonvenomous but “feisty.” The snake may have sneaked onto the plane before take-off, or hitched a ride in a passenger’s hand luggage.

Eastern U.S. braces for dangerous superstorm BY JENNIFER PELTZ Associated Press NEW YORK (AP) — From Washington to Boston, big cities and small towns Sunday buttoned up against the onslaught of a superstorm that could endanger 50 million people in the most heavily populated corridor in the nation, with forecasters warning that New York could get slammed by a wall of water. “The time for preparing and talking is about over,” Federal Emergency Management Administrator Craig Fugate said as Hurricane Sandy made its way up the Atlantic on a collision course with two other weather systems that could turn it into one of the most fearsome storms on record in the U.S. “People need to be acting now.” Airlines canceled more than 5,000 flights and Amtrak began suspending train service across the Northeast. New York and Philadelphia moved to shut down their subways, buses and trains Sunday night and announced that schools would be closed on Monday. Boston, Washington and Baltimore also called off school. And non-essential government employees in the nation’s capital were told not to report for work in the morning. As rain from the leading edges of the monster hurricane began to fall over the Northeast, hundreds of thousands of people from Maryland to Connecticut were ordered to evacuate low-lying

I was going to stay, but it’s better to be safe than sorry,” said Hugh Phillips, who was one of the first in line when a Red Cross shelter in Lewes, Del., opened at noon. “I think this one’s going to do us in,” said Mark Palazzolo, who boarded up his bait-andtackle shop in Point Pleasant Beach, N.J., with the same wood he used in past storms,
crossing out the names of Hurricanes Isaac and Irene and spray-painting “Sandy” next to them. “I got a call from a friend of mine from Florida last night who said, ‘Mark, get out! If it’s not the storm, it’ll be the aftermath. People are going to be fighting in the streets over gasoline and food.’” Authorities warned that the nation’s biggest city could get hit with an 11-foot wall of water that could swamp parts of lower Manhattan, flood subway tunnels and cripple the network of electrical and communications lines that are vital to the nation’s financial center.
High court weighs new look at voting rights law BY MARK SHERMAN Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — Three years ago, the Supreme Court warned there could be constitutional problems with a landmark civil rights law that has opened voting booths to millions of African-Americans. Now, opponents of a key part of the Voting Rights Act are asking the high court to finish off that provision. The basic question is whether state and local governments that once boasted of their racial discrimination still can be forced in the 21st century to get federal permission before making changes in the way they hold elections. Some of the governments covered — most of them are in the South — argue they have turned away from racial discrimination over the years. But Congress and lower courts that have looked at recent challenges to the law concluded that a history of discrimination and more recent efforts to harm minority voters justify continuing federal oversight. The Supreme Court could say as early as Monday whether it will consider ending the Voting Rights Act’s advance approval requirement that has been held up as a crown jewel of the civil rights era. The justices sidestepped this very issue in a case from Texas in 2009. In an opinion joined by
eight justices, Chief Justice John Roberts wrote then that the issue of advance approval “is a difficult constitutional question we do not answer today.” Since then, Congress has not addressed potential problems identified by the court. Meanwhile, the law’s opponents sensed its vulnerability and filed several new lawsuits. The advance approval, or preclearance requirement, was adopted in the Voting Rights Act in 1965 to give federal officials a potent tool to defeat persistent efforts to keep blacks from voting. The provision was a huge success, and Congress periodically has renewed it over the years. The most recent occasion was in 2006, when a Republican-led Congress overwhelmingly approved and President George W. Bush signed a 25-year extension. The requirement currently applies to the states of Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, Texas and Virginia. It also covers certain counties in California, Florida, New York, North Carolina and South Dakota, and some local jurisdictions in Michigan and New Hampshire. Coverage has been triggered by past discrimination not only against blacks, but also against American Indians, Asian-Americans, Alaskan Natives and Hispanics.
New England shapes up as Democrat firewall for Senate BY DONNA CASSATA Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — Democrats are counting on their New England friends to help them pick up Republican-held Senate seats on Nov. 6 and construct a barrier against losses in Nebraska and elsewhere that could erase their majority. The National Republican Senatorial Committee has stopped spending money in Maine, where former Gov. Angus King, an independent, leads in the polls and is seen as likely to side with Democrats if he wins. In Massachusetts, Republican Sen. Scott Brown is suddenly considered the underdog against Elizabeth Warren as the state is poised to easily back President Barack Obama over former Gov. Mitt Romney. “She’s closing the argument by linking Brown with national Republicans, who are about as
popular around here as the New York Yankees,” said Mike Shea, a Democratic strategist in Boston. Republican hopes of swiping the seat in Connecticut are fading. Democratic Rep. Chris Murphy has steadied his campaign against former wrestling executive Linda McMahon, who spent $50 million on an unsuccessful bid in 2010 and $42.6 million and counting this year. McMahon’s less-than-stellar debate performances and the state’s Democratic tilt have undercut the GOP candidate’s prospects. “If New England could tip the Senate’s balance to the Republicans, it would be fairly earth-shattering,” said Rob Gray, a veteran GOP consultant in Massachusetts. “The real question is whether these races will be close-but-no-cigar for Republicans.” In Senate math, the loss of
two seats in New England complicates the GOP calculation for majority control. Republicans would have to gain a net of six seats while holding suddenly uncertain Indiana, or a net of five seats if Romney wins the presidency. Democrats currently have the edge 53-47, including two independents who caucus with the party. On the Election Day ballot are 23 Democratic seats and 10 Republican. Republicans are optimistic they can make it add up and they point to fresh enthusiasm for Romney and the party ticket. After weeks of pure tossups, Republicans say North Dakota and Wisconsin are trending GOP though still close, Montana remains tight and the contest in Ohio has narrowed, due in large part to the roughly $20 million in negative ads against Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown.

Flooding, high winds in Ohio’s forecast CLEVELAND (AP) — Ohio is bracing for a suthreatening perstorm some 50 million people from the East Coast to the Great Lakes. The National Weather Service warned people living in low-lying areas and along the Lake Erie shoreline to watch for flooding early in the week. High wind warnings for gusts up to 65 mph have been posted across parts of Ohio, threatening utility lines and trees. Rain is forecast through midweek. Hurricane Sandy is headed north from the Caribbean toward the mid-Atlantic coast and a collision with a wintry storm moving from the west. Electric utilities that make up the East Coast operating areas of Ohiobased FirstEnergy Corp. are preparing for the storm. Akron-based FirstEnergy, with six million customers in six states, asked customers to take all necessary precautions.
Libyans angry with government BY PAUL SCHEMM Associated Press TRIPOLI, Libya (AP) — The protesters converged on the conference center housing Libya’s newly elected congress, trying to force their way in past startled guards. Mostly young and half of them women in headscarves, they demanded an end to the siege of the town of Bani Walid, where the government was in the midst of an attack to uproot holdouts from Moammar Gadhafi’s former regime. Police rushed to the scene. But in Libya, the police are actually militias, in this case from the Tripoli neighborhood of Souq al-Jumaa that last year lost several men in a battle with Bani Walid residents. Instead trying to control the crowd, the “police” dressed in t-shirts and pants of a military uniform exchanged threats with protesters and then mounted a rival demonstration of their own. Soon they were firing their assault rifles in the air to intimidate the protesters. As tensions soared, a dozen pickup trucks mounted with anti-aircraft guns and carrying soldiers in newly pressed camouflage uniforms pulled up to parliament, swiveled their guns forward and fired in the air as an apparent crowd-control method. The deafening noise of a dozen heavy-caliber machine guns sent demonstrators running and filled the upscale neighborhood with the sounds of battle. Blocks away, shocked bystanders wondered if one year after the civil war ended, Libya had gone back to war. After a year of turmoil since Gadhafi’s ouster and last month’s killing of the American ambassador, Libyans are disappointed, disillusioned and increasingly angry at their government. They complain that their leaders have not acted forcefully to address the most pressing problems — particularly the free rein of the country’s many militias. “It’s not going very well partly because we have a minister of defense and minister of interior who were very incompetent and weak — they gave into the militias,” said Guma Gamaty, a politician and outspoken critic of the militias. “The whole process of rebuilding the army and the police has not progressed much at all in the last 10 months. We lost a lot of vital time.”

Why are plastic bags closed in their boxes? Dear Heloise: Why are zippered plastic bags closed before you use them? More often than not, your hands are full of something Hints that needs to go into the bag, and from it’s tricky to Heloise have to open the bag first! I say Heloise Cruse package them open in the box! — Linda in San Antonio Linda, I have received other letters with this same complaint. I contacted a couple of major
manufacturers, and they did not have a particular reason why they come closed. It is just how they are manufactured. I agree that it can be a nuisance to have to open the bag when your hands are full, but I like that they come closed. I think it ensures
that nothing else has been in that bag before I put my snacks or leftover food in it! Think of the hassle involved with having to wash the bag before you could put anything in it! Opening the bag is a small hassle for peace of mind. — Heloise USE WHAT YOU HAVE Dear Heloise: As I try to take better care of our environment, I remember
that my mother had no plastic bags, aluminum foil, paper towels or plastic wrap. She shopped with a canvas bag or wicker basket, covered bowls of food with saucers and small plates, wiped up spills with old towels and even lined trash cans with newspaper. I can do all those things and save money at the same time! — Bea in Oregon

tured 36 artists displaying 144 pieces of art. Highlights of the evening included the presentation of the Geraldine B. Nelson Advocacy Award to three individuals. Bill Zimmerman Jr., of Sidney, is a private attorney practicing in Shelby County. Since entering practice with his father, Zimmerman has chosen to become guardian for some of the most high-risk adults served by the system. He offers legal services at no cost to these clients and/or their families. The various agency staff who work with Zimmerman consistently identify his compassion and empathy for the people served by the system as one of the many reasons they enjoy working with him. His advocacy, patience and perseverance has led to several of the highrisk adults securing stable housing, remaining connected to treatment, and working towards their ongoing recovery. Marianne Helmlinger, of Sidney, and Jerry Herbe, of Piqua, were honored with Geraldine B. Nelson Advocacy Awards in recognition of their extensive commitment to advocating for individuals with mental
illness and addictions. B o t h h a v e served more than 16 years as members of the T r i Herbe County board and have contributed to planning and advocating for new programs and services. Helmlinger is one of the founding members of the Shelby County NAMI and served on the statewide board of trustees of NAMI Ohio. She serves on many community groups and boards in Shelby County and in the area, including the Area Agency on Aging. Helmlinger has always brought compassion, care and a deep understanding of the issues to the Tri-County board. The board honored Helmlinger more than 10 years ago by naming its board room/ training center after her. Herbe has served as the board chairman Finance Committee chairman. He has always been an asset at levy time as a levy treasurer and in assisting with planning and community connections. Fellow board members have pointed out that they enjoy serving on the board with Herbe because of his leadership, compassion, fairness and sense of humor.

The department received 12 dozen free batteries from Energizer to distribute to senior citizens so they will remember to change their clocks and change their batteries in smoke detectors.
Fire department urges battery replacement November marks the 25th anniversary of the Energizer brand Batteries “Change Your Clock, Change Your Battery” campaign. Co-sponsored by the International Association of Fire Chiefs, the program urges all Americans to adopt a simple, lifesaving habit: changing and testing the batteries in smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors when they change their clocks back from daylight-savings time each fall, this year, Sunday. The Sidney Department of Fire & Emergency Services has encouraged area residents to use the extra hour they “gain” from daylight-savings time to change the batteries in their smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors, test the alarms and to remind
PUCO offers financial help to heat low-income homes COLUMBUS — As temperatures drop, Ohioans are starting to crank up their home heating systems. Low-income Ohioans can benefit from relief for these utility services. Residential utility consumers can avoid a utility disconnection or restore their heating services by making a one-time payment of $175. In September, the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio (PUCO) issued a Winter Reconnection Order providing low-income consumers with this assistance. This option is available for consumers until April 15. For households with incomes at or below 200 percent of the federal poverty guidelines, funds provided through the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP), Winter Crisis Program (WCP) or
other energy assistance programs may be used to pay the $175 charge. Households with incomes above 200 percent of the federal poverty guidelines must enter into a payment plan for any remaining balance on their utility bills above $175. If a consumer’s heating service has already been disconnected, an additional $36 reconnection fee is required. Consumers are encouraged to apply for assistance or contact their utility company to establish a payment plan before they face loss of service and additional reconnection fees. “The Winter Reconnection Order has helped hundreds of thousands of Ohioans maintain utility service for heat during the winter months,” said Ohio Consumers’ Counsel Bruce J. Weston. Other features of the
PUCO’s order are as follows: Consumers can only take advantage of the Winter Reconnection Order once during the winter heating season. If customers owe past due payments on their natural gas and electric bills, the $175 can be divided between both utilities. Customers can use the Winter Reconnection Order to initiate electric or natural gas service rather than pay the required security deposit. If the security deposit exceeds $175, the remaining balance will be added to their next month’s bill. Percentage of Income Payment Plan (PIPP Plus) customers can take advantage of the Winter Reconnection Order. PIPP Plus customers who have been dropped from the program are required to make any missed PIPP Plus payments or pay $175,
whichever is less, to reenroll in the program. OCC also offers the following information for customers struggling to keep pace with their heating bills on its website, www.pickocc.org: Percentage of Income Payment Plan (PIPP Plus), Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP), alternative payment plans, medical certifications and budget billing.

friends, family, neighbors, and fellow community members to do the same. “Eighty percent of child fire fatalities occur in homes without working smoke alarms. It’s a tragic statistic that could be reduced by adopting the simple habit of the Change your Clock, Change your Battery program,” said Deputy Chief Ron Wolfe. Additionally, the International Association of Fire Chiefs recommends that smoke alarms in homes be replaced every 10 years and having both ionization and photo electric smoke alarms to alert people to all types of home fires. “The peak time for
home fire fatalities is between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m. when most families are sleeping,” said Wolfe. “Smoke alarm maintenance is a simple, effective way to reduce home fire deaths. Children and senior citizens are most at risk, and a working smoke alarm can give them the extra seconds they need to get out safely.” Tragically, home fires injure and kill thousands each year. Those most at risk include: • Children – homes fires kill 500 children 14 and under each year. Roughly three-quarters of child fire fatalities under 15 occurred in homes without working smoke alarms. •Seniors – adults 75 and older are 2.8 times more likely to die in a home fire. A working smoke detector doubles the chance of surviving a home fire. Families should also prepare a fire safety kit that includes working flashand fresh lights batteries.

PIQUA — The TriCounty Board of Recovery & Mental Health Services celebrated recovery by hosting its fifth annual Art of Recovery and 44th annual meeting recently at Edison Community College, with special recognition given to two Sidney residents. The event also featured a reception with hors d’oeuvres and a showcase of paintings, drawings, photography, poetry and music from the local mental health and recovery system. The showcase, appropriately named the Art of Recovery, highlighted and celebrated recovery from various points of view. The event was attended by consumers, providers, community partners and family members. The utilization of art as a facet of mental health and addictions recovery is not a new concept. In fact, consumer artists, many untrained, have produced poignant and moving pieces of art that have been displayed across the country. The Art of Recovery showcase and celebration strives to encourage mental health and addiction consumers to embrace their inner artist and grow in their recovery through creative expression. The Art of Recovery also seeks to increase public awareness of mental illness and addictions issues in an effort to fight the stigma that so often accompanies these diseases. This year’s show fea-

ginning to collect marketing and agritourism data. Close proximity to farms also is fueling agritourism growth, Leeds said. In Ohio, farm income from agritourism and services recreational more than doubled to nearly $5 million in 2007 from $2.2 million in 2002, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s five-year farm census. Agritourism grew to 2.1 percent of farm income in 2007 from 1.4 percent in 2002.
‘Not Disney’ It took Val Jorgensen a long time to accept the “tourism” aspect of agritourism. “This is definitely not Disney World,” Jorgensen said about her 65-acre Jorgensen Farms in Westerville, which she sees more as an education hub than a tourist trap. “What I want to share with people is what real food is,” said Jorgensen, who grew up on a Michigan dairy farm. “My degree’s in nursing. So my focus is on health and sharing the process of growing healthy food.” Jorgensen raises sheep, which provide wool, pelts and meat. She keeps bees, producing several herb-infused raw honeys. She grows fruits, vegetables and herbs and sells them to local food companies and restaurants. But hosting events from school tours to or-
ganization dinners to weddings “does balance the budget,” she said. Her Sunday Supper series features seasonal produce and meats grown on her farm or other farms just outside of Columbus, prepared by local chefs and served in a barn or sunflower field. Dinner tickets usually sell for between $58 and $75. “I want to provide a place for people to be nourished,” said Jorgensen, who sees herself as a steward, not an owner, of the land. “It warms my heart and soul to see people come out to the farm.”
Feed animals Visitors to Orchard Hill Bed & Breakfast can feed the animals — including donkeys, pot-bellied pigs, llamas and alpacas — while staying at the 1850 farmhouse near Granville. “The latest count is 72, if you count all the chickens and other fowl,” said Don Jones, who owns the B&B with Andrew Kohn. The three suites at Orchard Hill go for between $95 and $155 a night. Jones and Kohn feature local foods and products, including Gambier Gold honey and Tilton Hollow goat milk soap, at their B&B. Kohn makes jams, which are served to lodgers and sold online and at a few local stores.

CLEVELAND (AP) — More bedbugs are moving into northeast Ohio, and Cleveland area organizations have formed a task force to develop plans for dealing with them. The Bed Bug Task Force wants to teach people how to prevent taking the blood-sucking parasites home and what to do if they find an infestation. The (Cleveland) Plain Dealer reports that the 30-member task force meets monthly to share the latest information. It will host an annual bedbug conference next month. The Cleveland Health Department has received about 500 complaints of bedbugs this year. That’s compared to 390 at this time last year. The county health department has received more than 1,000 calls for community assistance related to the pests. In August, the downtown federal building had to be treated for the pests.

While SB 315 upgrades energy strategy, community discussion needs to continue
We have heard a lot of buzz about energy development, whether this is nationally or locally this policy will affect you and your family. In June, Gov. John Kasich signed Substitute Amended Senate Bill 315 (SB 315) into law. Considered a mid-biennium review (MBR) of Ohio’s energy policies, development legislators reviewed Ohio’s advanced energy initiative and regulations governing oil and gas exploration. SB 315 leaves Ohio’s advanced energy targets unchanged. State government made it clear that a minimum of 25 percent of electric generation supplied by Ohio’s investor-owned utilities will come from advanced (clean coal and advanced nuclear) and renewable
(wind, solar, biomass, fuel cell) technologies by 2025. Half of this generation must come from Ohio facilities. While demand side management and energy efficiency (DSM/EE) targets remain unchanged, new technologies were recognized. SB 315 provides that new or retrofit projects generating electricity from industrial exhaust heat qualify as waste energy recovery (WER) projects. The new law incentivizes combined heat and power (CHP) cogeneration systems. SB 315 revamps the Energy Loan Fund, placing emphasis on energy efficiency and alternative fuel development, too. Renewed interest in oil and gas exploration will impact all areas of Ohio. SB 315 defines “horizontal well� technology and ensures that hydraulic fracturing (fracking) operations are subject to Ohio Department of Natural Re-
sources (ODNR) permitting and regulation. The bill strengthens ODNR rules protecting soil and water resources and Public Utility Commission of Ohio (PUCO) and Ohio Power Siting Board (OPSB) pipeline construction and safety standards. The Ohio EPA will work with ODNR, U.S. EPA and other agencies to evaluate wastewater treatment and recycling technologies that reduce reliance on injection wells and assist in oil and gas exploration and production. While SB 315 addresses immediate adjustments to Ohio’s energy strategy, community leaders need to start working on other concerns. Issues for further discussion include: Ohio’s Diversified Energy Portfolio: There is no “silver bullet;� one, all encompassing technology that addresses all our needs for electricity
and fuel. While Ohio’s potential resources in oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids are not a “game stopper� they are a “game changer.� How will oil and gas work with coal, nuclear and renewable technologies to enhance our energy strategy? Creating systems where each technology’s strengths and benefits work together is vital. InvestContinued ment: Ohio joins the nation at the energy technology investment crossroads. On the national level, programs investing in oil, natural gas, nuclear, coal, renewables and biofuel production are expiring. What programs will be changed or renewed? While investments in traditional fossil fuel technologies address many immediate requirements, will there be resources available to develop replacements when these feed stocks diminish?

Your local soil and water conservation district continues today to educate and assist citizens of all ages in conserving the precious natural resources of soil and water. As stated by Louis Bromfield, “Hugh Bennett deserves the greatest honor from the American people as one of the greatest benefactors since the beginning of history.� Yes, Hugh Hammond Bennett is truly worthy of the title “Conservation Hero.�
Favoring investments in technologies that have little or no carbon footprint and/or enhance sustainability is progressive. However, could energy shortages occur if they cannot be developed in the time and size required to address energy needs on a massive scale? Education, outreach and public discussion: Given the variety of technologies available, all communities will soon be involved in energy development. As communities consume energy, they will be responsible for generating some in return. Many energy developers identify supporters and detractors. Smart grids, biofuels, horizontal drilling, wind, solar, advanced coal and nuclear technologies all have benefits and concerns. For some leaders, maintaining civility in civil discourse could be an issue. How are consumers and communi-
ties going to create effective planning solutions that accommodate a diversified energy portfolio? Both state and federal policymakers see agriculture needing to develop a leadership position in energy development. Some estimate that 25 percent of our nation’s electric and fuel production with have direct on-farm connections by 2025. Farmers will be handling biomass feed stocks, installing on-site generation and/or acutility commodating scale infrastructure on farm ground. Farmers will be working closely with their neighbors, local governments, utilities, energy developers and other community leaders to address needs and concerns. SB 315 is the first in step where Ohio leaders actively reviewed energy development plans. Stay tuned for further developments.

HOUSE
From Page 1
To help 84th District voters select their candidate of choice, the Sidney Daily News sent questionnaires to the two candidates, soliciting their views on important statewide issues. Their answers follow: 1. What are the most important issues in Ohio today? This campaign? Buchy: Jobs, Jobs, Jobs! Hammons: The most important issue is getting the Obama/Biden ticket re-elected. The outcome of this election will have a direct impact on whether the economic recovery that President Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s policies put in place will continue to be completely dismantled if they are not re-elected. Ohio will again be a major player in the outcome of the election. 2. Why area you running foir office? Hammons: I am running for office because it has been a long time that this area of the state has had a contested race for state representative. This is a new district, but the Republican Party has controlled this area through appointments and noncontested races for a long time. Buchy: I want to work with the governor and the General Assembly to manage state government more efficiently. 3. What do you hope to accomplish? Buchy: To build on the successes of the last two years to continue a more favorable business climate. More jobs will be created. Hammons: It will take time to get a grip on the workings of the statehouse. I will look at every issue and make decisions based on what the people in this district are saying. 4. What are your thoughts on Ohioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new legalized casino gambling? Hammons: I approve of the new casino gambling in Ohio. Unfortunately, it was 20 years late! Buchy: The majority of the voters passed the new constitutional amendment to allow four casinos to operate in Ohio. Time will tell how much the revenues generated from gambling will help government coffers. 5. Your ideas toward solving the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s continuing budget issues? Buchy: Set the priorities for the next two years and continue to spend the revenue

Term: Two years, limit of four consecutive terms. Responsibilities: To draft legislation to support and protect Ohio citizens. Salary: $60, 584 a year. wisely without raising taxes and increasing the regulatory burden. Hammons: The Kasich administration has tried to balance a budget by continually reducing revenue that is returned to communities. There are smaller areas that are voting to do away with their communities due to lack of funds. I think a priority is to look at getting revenue restored to communities. As the economy gets better, this can be done. 6. How would you attempt to solve care health (Medicare) cost issues in the state. Your opinion of Obamacare? Hammons: I approve of the Affordable Healthcare Act (Obamacare is OK, also). The Supreme Court found in favor of the law and it will be time to implement provisions of the law in the timeline that that is set. Ohio needs to ready for the be Medicare portion of the law! Buchy: Medicaid spending is growing rapidly and we need relief from Washington so that we can provide health care for the less fortunate without bankrupting the state. 7. Your beliefs on ethics in public office, the publicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trust? Buchy: One is ethical or unethical, honest or dishonest, or moral or immoral No law is going to change that. The voters will always take care of those officials who violate the public trust. Hammons: As a candidate, we pay a fee to the Ohio Ethics Commission to make our information available to the public. As an elected official who will take an oath of office, I will follow that oath. 8. What initiatives would you offer that would specifically benefit Shelby and Auglaize counties and their economies? Hammons: I will look at what is in place and also what can be done. The main thing will be being accessible to community elected officials and business owners to do what I can to achieve positive outcomes. Buchy: (1) Continued focus on job training efforts for specific jobs
that are available in Shelby and Auglaize counties; (2) Develop a long-range plan for restoration of Grand Lake St. Marys; (3) More efforts to expand agriculture production and ag business in the 84th District. 9. What can be done to keep jobs from leaving Ohio? Buchy: Continue to make Ohio more competitive with lower cost of doing business measures. Existing jobs will stay and new jobs will be created as communities locate in Ohio. Hammons: Keeping jobs in Ohio is going to be as tough as it has always been. In a global economy, every entity is fighting to not only to create jobs, but to retain the jobs that are already here. I believe again the outcome of the election and the policies that are in place will be a major factor! 10. What initiatives would you suggest to benefit small businesses? Hammons: It seems that tax rates are the key. Not only will the next administration have the opportunity to either continue or completely change this according to philosophy, cooperation among the state and Washington must happen. People are fed up with gridlock and another deadline is rapidly approaching at year end. Buchy: (1) Continue to reduce the state personal income tax rate; (2) Reform Workersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Compensation and unemployment compensation laws; (3) Continued education focus to produce qualified workers for businesses in the 84th district. 11. Why should voters elect you instead of your opponent? Buchy: Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m very privileged to work for the finest people in the world. My hope is that the residents recognize that my values and beliefs mirror the 84th House District values and beliefs. With your vote on Nov. 6, you have my pledge that I will continue to work very hard for better government in Ohio. Hammons: It is time for a fresh face with fresh ideas. This is a new district and I am that fresh face.

Gary J. Carter, magistrate of the Shelby County Common P l e a s Court, recently p a r t i c ipated in a community service Carter project the at Worthington Food Pantry, along with 35 other magistrates from around the state of Ohio. The magistrates were in Columbus for the Fall Conference of the Ohio Association of Magistrates. The Worthington Food Pantry is a community-based volunteer organization that distributes a variety of nutritious food and personal items to individuals or families within the Worthington area. Approximately 1,000 people per month are being served. Carter and his fellow magistrates brought in 594 pounds of food, and they spent approximately two hours sorting the food and stocking the food pantry shelves. The magistrates believe that by volunteering, they are leaving each community they visit a little better than it was when they found it. Carter has also performed community service locally, having served as president of the Sidney Jaycees and the Sidney Noon Kiwanis Club. Carter has served as magistrate in the Shelby County Common Pleas Court since 1991.

HOROSCOPE BY FRANCES DRAKE For Tuesday, Oct. 30, 2012 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Although this is a poor day for making firm decisions, it’s an excellent day to think about how to reduce your debt and improve your position in anything that is jointly held (like mortgages, insurance matters and shared property).

Oct. 29, 1937 Officials of the Copeland Refrigeration Corp. in Detroit today announced to its employees that it was moving its operations to Sidney. J.D. McLeod, general manager of the plant, stated that the decision of the corporation to move away from Detroit was partly on account of labor conditions and partly as an economy measure.

Mrs. Allen is an adviser for the Dog Gone 4-H Club. ––––– Twelve students from five Shelby County high schools took part in a special student congress recently as part of the “Just Say No To Drugs” program sponsored nationwide by the Loyal Order of the Moose. The congress was held in Worthington and included representatives from schools all over Ohio. Similar student congresses are being held in other states. The “Just Say No To Drugs” program is designed to approach the issue of drug abuse in schools by encouraging students to talk to students about the problem. Since students generally know what is going on in their own schools in regard to drug and alcohol use, the program uses their knowledge and experience to get the “Just Say No” message across.

Year 2012 ~ Grandpa’s Girl My dreams fell from the sky When I realized what I had lost in the blink of an eye 9 years have passed and it hurts more than ever the days go by so slow and the weight just gets heavier. I cry myself to sleep, but it’s nothing new The tears haven’t stopped falling from these eyes as I wipe away a few. Never thinking in a million years that my grandpa would die, but you did and left me here without even saying good-bye. I would do anything for a last hug or kiss on the cheek but I know that it will never happen, so I dream of you when I finally fall asleep.
Grandpa, you left your grand-daughter down here with so much pain when you flew up to heaven, and were there to stay. I’m only 29, I can’t be without a grandpa. It’s too late now, I’ve lost all I had I miss you every moment I can breathe but I know you’re always with me when I dream. I have to except the fact that my grandpa’s an angel and sleeps on a cloud and just because I cry every night, I couldn’t be more proud even though you’re gone and my life is not complete the words “Grandpa’s Girl” never sounded so sweet.

Loramie matched up with St. Henry FORT LORAMIE — Fort Loramie coach Matt Burgbacher relishes the idea of having a chance for another signature win for the Redskins football program. The Redskins will get that opportunity Friday Burgbacher night when they travel to St. Henry for a firstround Division VI playoff battle. Loramie was hoping for a home game in the first round. Those go to the top four teams in each region. But over the final three weeks, there weren’t a lot of computer points to be had, and when teams like Minster and St. Henry notched key wins Fri-
day, they pushed Fort Loramie into the fifth spot. And with St. Henry climbing to fourth, that matched the two teams up Friday night. “Again, it’s a great opportunity for us,” said Burgbacher Sunday. “It’s going to come down to the better team on Friday night winning the game. Our kids are excited. I thought they might be down a little on Saturday when I told them we were going on the road, but they realize what a great experience this is going to be. It’s going to be a tremendous atmosphere Friday night and it’s a chance for them to get a statement win for our program.” The Redskins are in the playoffs for the fourth year in a row, and the last three have ended with losses to Midwest
Athletic Conference schools. With St. Henry being a MAC school, that’s a hurdle the Redskins will have to jump, but Burgbacher isn’t concerned about that. “The past is the past, and we’re only concerned with Friday night’s game,” he said. “Our kids play well on the road. We’ve traveled long distances to play games over the past several years, so that’s nothing new. There will be no distractions of dealing with playing a home game. All we have to do is get on the bus and point it in the right direction. “St. Henry is a solid team, so we know we have our work cut out for us. But it’s a playoff game, the best of the best,” he continued. “We knew we didn’t have a lot of computer

Over the past two seasons, the Wildcats are 4-2, including two wins in 2010 when they entered postseason play with a 5-5 record. They posted wins over Springfield Catholic and Marion Local before losing to Lehman. Last season, they again routed Springfield Catholic to open the playoffs, then beat Fort Loramie before losing to Marion. Minster faces Minster and St. Henry are two of five MAC teams to Tri-County North Minster, meanwhile, make it to postseason, joining jumped to second in Region 24 Marion Local, Coldwater and with its overtime win over St. John’s.
points to get the last three weeks, so we’ve focused on getting better. And I think we have.” The Redskins have played well in postseason for the most part. Going into Friday’s game, they are 3-3 in playoff games. Last year, they beat Cincinnati Country Day, then lost to Minster. In 2010, they lost in the first round to Marion Local, and in 2009, they beat Lockland and Southeastern to advance to the regional finals, where they again lost to Marion.

down during an NCAA college football game in State College, Pa., Saturday.
Bucks whip Lions 35-23 BY JIM NAVEAU jnaveau@limanews.com STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — Penn State might have a NASCAR offense, but it was Ohio State that had the fastest car in its 35-23 football win over the Nittany Lions on Saturday night. The NASCAR offense label came from the no-huddle, hurry-up offense Penn State had used to win five games in a row before playing OSU. The fastest car? That would be Braxton Miller, who ran for 134 yards and two touchdowns and passed for 143 yards and another score for the No. 9 Buckeyes (9-0, 5-0 Big Ten). After falling behind 7-0 in the second quarter on a blocked punt — its third of the season — OSU built a 28-10 lead by scoring four touchdown in a span of just over 15 minutes by late in the third quarter. Penn State (5-3, 3-1 Big Ten) never got closer than 12 points the rest of the way. Miller put an exclamation point on the Buckeyes’ offensive outburst with a 1-yard touchdown run to make it 2110 late in the third quarter that was more exciting than anyone would expect a 1-yard score to be. When he attempted to hand the football to running back Carlos Hyde, he found a Penn State defender already in Hyde’s face in the backfield, forcing him to improvise. The improvisation started

OHIO STATE wide receiver Jake Stoneburner (11) out runs Penn State defenders after catching a pass from Ohio State quarterback Braxton Miller (5)for a 72-yard touchdown during the fourth quarter of an NCAA college football game in State College, Pa., Saturday. with the sophomore quarterback stepping forward, taking step back, then starting toward the end zone and finally capping it with a dive for the touchdown. “We work on that. We have a drill — make seven people miss and then dive across,” OSU coach Urban Meyer said, with
a laugh. “I didn’t see it but basically the conversation on the headset was, ‘Oh my God.’ ” Miller said, “A touchdown was five yards away and I’ve got to do what I’ve got to do to get a touchdown.” Penn State quarterback Matt McGloin completed 27 of 45 passes for a career-best 327 yards and two touchdowns. But Ohio State’s offense pressured him (4 sacks) and held Penn State’s running game to 35 yards overall, putting almost all the offensive burden on McGloin. “We brought five (pass rushers). We pressured more than we have all year,” Meyer said. Penn State took a 7-0 lead with 6:15 left in the first half when Mike Hull blocked Ben Buchanan’s punt and Mike Yanich recovered it in the end zone. It was the third time Buchanan had a punt blocked this season and the second of those that has resulted in a touchdown. Ohio State has had five punts blocked in its last 22 games. After struggling to move the ball early and dealing with poor field position, Ohio State drove 75 yards in 12 plays and even the score at 7-7 on a 1-yard run by Carlos Hyde with 34 seconds left in the first half. Hyde (55 yards) and Rod Smith (48 yards) combined to give OSU 103 yards out of the running back position. But it was two big defensive plays by sophomore linebacker
Ryan Shazier that turned the momentum Ohio State’s way in a big way. On the second play of the second half, Shazier sacked McGloin for a nine-yard loss. Then on the next play he intercepted McGloin and took the ball back 17 yards for a touchdown and a 14-7 lead. “As soon as Shazier got that pick, we kind of got the momentum and went right from there,” wide receiver Jake Stoneburner said. “We went no-huddle the whole second half and kind of caught them off guard and tired them.” After a short field goal by Sam Ficken cut the lead to 1410, Miller scored on a pair of 1yard runs at the end of back-to-back long drives. Almost any chance of a Penn State comeback disappeared when Miller and Stoneburner hooked up on a 72-yard pass play for a touchdown that made it 35-16 with 6:11 to play. Penn State got a touchdown with 1:41 to play but, unlike the Indiana game, the Buckeyes didn’t make the following onside kick an adventure and closed out the game. The win gives Ohio State a commanding lead in the race for the Big Ten Leaders Division title, the only title it can win while it serves its NCAA penance this season. The Buckeyes are 1.5 games up on second-place Penn State and two games ahead of Wisconsin with three Big Ten games left on its schedule.
MONROE — It was a tough way for the season to end, but also a real confidence-booster heading into next season. That was the assessment of Lehman High School girls soccer coach Tony Schroeder after his Lady Cavaliers played an outstanding game, only to come up short 1-0 to defending Division III state champion Cincinnati Summit Country Day in district championship action here Saturday. The setback left the Lady Cavaliers with a final mark of 16-3 this season. “We played really well,” said Schroeder. “And now we know it’s not just a pipe dream, that we can compete with the best in the state. It gives us a lot of confidence going into next year.” Schroeder said that many times, when one team is favored and has the reputation that Summit does, the opponent is just “holding on.” And in this game, Lehman was taking on the defending state champs that had everybody returning from last season with the exception of the goalie. And that was only because the goalie took a year off from high school soccer to play at an academy. She is going to Kentucky to play next season. “That wasn’t the case,” he said. “We played them tough and they knew they were in a tough contest. We had just as good a chance to win as they did and it wasn’t one of those games where we were just holding on. There were times when we were actually dominating the game, and that’s what makes it such a tough loss.” The only goal of the game came with 15 minutes remaining in the first half by Summit. It came on a looping pass from around midfield that the Lady Cavs appeared to be on. But a Summit player stepped around a Lehman defender and kicked the ball to the near post, just under goalie Grace Frantz. “That was really the only threatening shot they had the whole game,” said Schroeder. Lehman was outshot by just 12-10, and Schroeder was confident at the half despite his team trailing 1-0. “We only took three shots in the first half because we were playing into the wind,” he said. “I really thought that we would score one or two goals in the second half with the wind at our back. And we had our opportunities. The ball just bounced the wrong way a couple times. “The frustrating thing for me is when I look at the teams left in the regional now, I think we’re even with any of them. It’s been a great year and we’re looking forward to next season.”

LEHMAN’S ANDREA Thobe stretches to spike the ball over Russia defender Bethany York (4) during Saturday’s tournament game. Lehman won in four sets.
Lehman beats Russia; to face Fort Loramie next — The TROY Lehman Catholic volleyball team had won 19 straight district titles heading into Saturday’s D-IV matchup with Russia at Troy High School. But, Lady Cavalier coach Greg Snipes expected the 20th wouldn’t come so easy — and he was correct. But, Lehman was able to persevere in the first meeting with former Lady Cavalier assistant Todd Wion and Russia 25-18, 12-25, 2518, 25-10. Lehman, 205, will play Fort Loramie in a Vandalia Division IV regional semifinal at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday. “It was definitely the toughest one of my district titles,” Snipes said. “Russia has a very good team. They have some seniors who have been playing for a long time.” And that was very clear when Russia, led by the blocking of Bethany York and hitting of Olivia Monnin, finished the second set on a 22-7 match to stun Lehman and even the match. “In my four years, this was definitely our toughest match at district,” Lehman senior Ellie Waldsmith said. “Russia is a good team.” But, just as quickly, Lehman turned the tide to win in four sets. “I was glad to see the way the kids responded,” Snipes said. “The second set, I thought our serve receive broke down and we gave them too many free balls. And Russia is a good team.” Wion knows how exactly how Snipes felt. “The second set, we played the way we are capable of,” Wion said. “After that, we could never get it back. The final game, we had defensive players we had relied on all season shanking the ball and just doing things they normally don’t do.” With Russia leading
8-7 in the third set, Waldsmith, a four-year starter, appeared to injure herself on a kill. “I bumped knees with Erica (Paulus),” Waldsmith said. “I didn’t want to come out — it’s a big match.” Snipes felt caution was the best option. “She’s been injured a couple times this year,” he said. “You just don’t want to take a chance.” Ironically, it was the last lead Russia would have. Freshman Olivia Duritsch (front row) and Madeline Smith (back row) filled in admirably, with Smith serving an ace on her first attempt. “That was great to see the way they played,” Snipes said. A Monnin kill had Russia within 21-17, before Lehman finished off the game with a 4-1 run. Andrea Thobe ended it with a big kill. At the same time, Waldsmith was doing everything in her power on the bench to convince Snipes to put her back out there — and when he did, it paid huge dividends. After Russia hit a ball wide on the first point of the fourth set, Waldsmith served five straight points for an immediate 6-0 lead. She had three aces in the run, while Olivia Slagle and Ellie Sargent both had kills. “You are worried about her re-injuring herself,” Snipes said. “A couple people assured me she was OK, so I put her back out there and she came up big at the start of the game.” It was exactly what the Lady Raiders couldn’t afford.
“You can’t get down 60 like that,” Wion said. “For whatever reason, we just never got back to playing like we did in the second set. Waldsmith and Ellie Cain had kills on a fourpoint Erica Paulus service run to make it 15-5; Cain served two aces to make it 18-6 and Slagle eventually finished things at 24-10 with a kill. For Russia, who finished 22-4, Monnin had 10 kills, three aces and 15 digs; while Camille Puthoff had nine kills and Kylie Wilson added five kills. Ashley Borchers dished out 18 assists and York had five blocks. “It’s been a great season,” Wion, who advanced to the district finals for the third straight year. “There are a lot of positives. We just have to get over the hump at district. We didn’t take the easy path. We knew Lehman would be a tough match.” For Lehman, Waldsmith had five aces, seven kills and 12 digs; while Thobe had 14 kills and dished out 22 assists. Cain had 11 kills and dished out 19 assists; while Paulus had six kills and 16 digs. Slagle added six kills and three blocks. Now, Lehman gets a chance to avenge a regular season loss to Loramie — and respond to another big challenge. Fort Loramie beat Southeastern Saturday to advance in the tournament. They won in three sets, 25-13, 25-11, 25-17

Borchers was second in 19:19.04; Francis was third in 19:23.35; and Heaton was fourth in 19:33.47. “I was hoping to stay closer to her (Meghan Vogel),” Borchers said. “But, I am pretty happy with second. It definitely helps having someone like her (Meghan Vogel) to push you. We want to do as well as we can as a team next week and I would like to make AllOhio.” Saturday was as close as Russia has come to Minster this year. “We closed the gap,” Foster said. “They only got us by three or four points. If we can put three girls in the top 10 or 15 next week, then we have a chance. “I liked our strategy today,” Foster said. “We closed the gap between our third and fourth runner, which is what we need to do. We just have to keep working on that.” It was a heartbreaking day for Versailles. The girls, like the boys finished fifth. Fort Loramie got the fourth spot with 146 points and Versailles had 151. Even though they ran miles apart, both the Minster girls and Minster boys qualified for the State Cross Country Meet as a result of regional action Saturday.

TROY — Versailles senior Samuel Prakel did it by running by himself at the Troy Division III cross country regional Saturday. Lehman Catholic’s Joe Fuller put two years of frustration behind him and the Russia boys ran in a tight pack. As a result, all of them be running at the Division III state cross country meet next Saturday at National Trail Raceway. Prakel, the defending state champion, cruised to victory in 16:00.43, almost 20 seconds head of Clayton Murphy of TriVillage, who finished second. “It makes it harder when you don’t have anybody to push you,” Prakel said. “I just wanted to go out and run my pace. Your times are going to be a little slow because of the cold and the mud, but it wasn’t too bad.” Fuller, who missed the regional last season with an injury after failing to get out as a freshman, left no doubts this time around. He ran an impressive 16:44.38 to finish fourth and earn his first state berth in cross country. “It feels pretty good,” Fuller said after the race. “I just want to go out and run my best race next week. I thank God for giving me this opportunity.” Fuller wanted to stay closer to the top two runners. “I wanted to try and stay with Clayton (Murphy),” Fuller said. “The weather wasn’t reaally bad at all. I am happy to be going to state.” Russia finished second behind Summit Country Day in the team standings go continue their Fall ritual. The Knights had 34 points, while the Raiders had 95. “This is our seventh straight year going to state,” Russia coach Doug Foster said. “I am really happy for these kids and proud of what they have been able to accomplish.” Brandon Barlage led Russia, finishing 16th in 17:15.45. “We thought it was going to be close between us, Versailles and couple other schools,” Foster said.

Johnson wins at Martinsville MARTINSVILLE, Va. (AP) — Jimmie Johnson’s expectations are high at Martinsville Speedway, and his results keep showing why. The five-time series champion raced to his seventh career victory on NASCAR’s trickiest oval Sunday, and the triumph helped him erase a seven-point deficit and supplant Brad Keselowski as the points leader with three events remaining. But before handing Johnson the title, he cautioned, there’s plenty of racing yet to do. “I’m ecstatic about the win today and ecstatic about the points lead, but this is no cake-walk,” Johnson said after the 59th victory of his career and fourth this season. “These guys are bringing their best each and every week. … The next two races will tell the tale. Anything can happen. We could both wad it up next week and Clint Bowyer is your champion.” Johnson moved two points ahead of Ke-
selowski, who finished sixth for his highest career showing at the track. The series next moves to Texas and Phoenix before finishing up at Homestead-Miami. “I know this championship’s going to come down to Homestead,” Keselowski said. “You’ve just got to be in position to where you’ve got a shot at it and we’re doing the things it’s going to take.” Both drivers needed only to look at Denny Hamlin’s day to be reminded that things can go south fast. Hamlin seemed poised to get in the thick of it, and then had an electrical problem that sent him to a 33rd place finish and out of contention. “When these things happen, you’ve just got to suck it up and move on,” Hamlin said. “There’s nothing I can do about it. One of these days it’s going to be our time. It’s just not right now.” Keselowski’s day was nowhere near as adventurous as Hamlin’s, but effective all the same.
CLEVELAND (AP) — Trent Richardson’s sore ribs didn’t slow him down, and neither did the nasty weather. Cleveland’s rookie running back rushed for 122 yards and scored a touchdown, leading the Browns to a soggy, windwhipped 7-6 win over the San Diego Chargers on Sunday. Richardson, pulled last week at Indianapolis when he was ineffective because of a rib injury, carried 24 times as the Browns (2-6) slopped their way to a second straight home win ‚Äî and first for new owner Jimmy Haslam. Richardson scored on a 26-yard run in the first quarter and the Browns were able to hang on despite not generating much offense in blustery, wet conditions. The Chargers (3-4) dropped their third
straight. San Diego had a final chance, but quarterback Philip Rivers’ pass was batted away by Browns cornerback Buster Skrine with 1:24 left. Rivers finished 18 of 34 for 154 yards but had a potential touchdown pass dropped by Robert Meachem in the third quarter. With winds off Lake Erie gusting to more than 40 mph and a steady rain falling from the opening kick to the final whistle, neither offense could get anything going. So the Browns turned to Richardson, their young star who had been limited in practice all week with a rib injury he sustained two weeks ago in a win over Cincinnati. But unlike last week when he was tentative the hole, hitting Richardson ran with purpose from the outset.
He also had an important 12-yard reception in the fourth quarter when the Browns were backed up near their goal line. Because of the bad weather, the Chargers, too, were forced to go to the ground and Ryan Mathews picked up 95 yards on 24 attempts. Nick Novak kicked field goals of 43 and 31 yards for San Diego, which blew second-half leads in consecutive losses to New Orleans and Denver before its bye. But the Chargers never got ahead in this one and Meachem’s huge drop will be the play that haunts coach Norv Turner this week. Richardson’s TD run gave the Browns a 7-0 lead in the first quarter. Two plays after quarterback Brandon Weeden converted on a 4th-and-1 with a sneak to keep the drive alive,
Richardson took a handoff up the middle, broke two tackles and was kept upright by right guard Shawn Lauvao, who wrapped his hands around his teammate, before scampering into the end zone for his fifth TD. The Browns were effective getting Richardson outside with quick pitches, plays that allowed him to minimize smacked in the ribs and forced some of the Chargers defensive backs into situations where they had to try to bring down the bruising back in space — not an easy job. San Diego’s offense sputtered for much of the first half but Rivers moved the Chargers in the final two minutes, setting up Novak’s 43yard field goal as time expired that cut Cleveland’s lead to 7-3.
