Ohio voters to decide 3 issues COLUMBUS (AP) — A clash of political philosophies will play out at Ohio’s ballot box this fall in questions concerning public employee unions and a federal healthinsurance mandate. Labor unions and their Democratic allies have launched a multi-milliondollar effort to repeal a bill lawmakers passed this spring limiting the collective bargaining abilities of 350,000 government workers around the state, a measure backed by Republican Gov. John Kasich as a way to contain costs.
Tea party groups, joined by Republicans, are pushing a constitutional amendment that would prohibit government from requiring Ohioans to buy health insurance, a backlash against President Barack Obama’s federal health care overhaul.
The two campaigns raise sweeping themes — of class equity, the roles of government, labor unions and taxpayers, and America’s partisan divide.

TODAY’S THOUGHT Thought for Today: “All forms of totalitarianism try to avoid the strange, the problematic, the critical, the rational. To do so, they must deny the metropolitan spirit, equalize everything in city and country, and retain a center which is not the center of anything because everything else is swallowed up by it.” — Paul Tillich, American theologian (1886-1965).

Ohio, the labor-backed coalition fighting it. According to the latest filings, We Are Ohio had collected nearly $7 million in campaign cash and other contributions. Better Ohio is raising money through a nonprofit arm that’s not required to report its donors, but the campaign says it will publicize donors at a later date. Experts have projected the combined spending of both sides could exceed $33 million, the amount spent in Ohio’s 2010 governor’s race. See ISSUES/Page 5A

Judges rated pork production operations on their manure management systems, water and soil conservation practices, odor-control strategies, farm aesthetics and neighbor relations, wildlife habitat promotion, innovative ideas to protect the environment and an essay on the
meaning of environmental stewardship. “Once again, the winners of this prestigious award consist of yet another great group of pork producers,” says Lynn Harrison, chair of the Environmental Stewards selection subcommittee and former president of the National Pork Board. “The 2011

The Shelby County Service Educational Center (ESC) recently renovated a classroom at Sidney High School thanks to several generous donations from local businesses and organizations. The SEED classroom, located at Sidney High School, is run by the Shelby County ESC. This classroom is part of the STEM Program (Science, Technology, Engiand Math) neering which provides educational services to at-risk youth and high ability students who attend a STEM class after the traditional school day. The classroom serves students from each of the eight Shelby County school districts. At-risk and high ability students are paired together to research and complete Capstone Projects. The at-risk students in this class are in danger of not completing their high school education. For the high ability students, they can focus on a passion area as they are paired with dynamic educators and real-world mentors. The designated classroom at Sidney High School was converted to a STEM classroom with advanced technologies and lab construction for 21st Century education.

Sidney Super Shredders learn career skills Sixth-, seventh- and eighth-grade students at Sidney Middle School are gaining valuable job skills through a new program in the building’s reroom. This source group, known as the Sidney Super Shredders, is working to start a school- based business. Students have organized into a work study program, under the direction of SMS teachers Troyann Freytag, Jamie Piening and Reed. Karen Jody McRill, work study coordinator at Sidney High School, oversees the program. Local businesses are working with these stu-
dents to shred old or outdated materials for their company. In exchange, the companies are donating funds to help support the expansion of the program. McRill recently wrote a grant to seek additional shredders which will potentially allow the students to increase the amount of paper shredded each week. In addition to the experience, students are also learning basic job skills like team work, punctuality, attendance and other factors necessary to be a successful employee. Students are also responsible for filling out time cards to record the hours worked on these jobs.
Future plans for the work study program at SMS include inviting guest speakers to discuss their careers, practicing how to complete a job application, understanding the importance of references and improving keyboarding skills. The students are also looking for a buyer or outlet for the shredded paper which can be used as packing material to complete the recycling process. Any local business who is interested in using the shredding service or the shredded materials is asked to contact Karen McRill at Sidney High School by calling 497-2238.

Jack’s ends puppy sales COLUMBUS (AP) — A campaign by a national animal rights group has caused an Ohio-based chain of pet stores to stop selling puppies. The Columbus Dispatch reports (http://bit.ly/tNHoPg ) the Jack’s Pets is the first chain to respond to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals’ campaign to halt the sale of puppies in pet stores. The campaign, which began in August, is part
of the group’s move to eliminate so-called puppy mills that massproduce dogs for sale. Critics say dogs from puppy mills often have health and socialization problems. Jack’s vice president of sales Paul Kamm tells the newspaper that dogs were not the bulk of the chain’s business, but they were good business. Kamm says Jack’s will allow local organizations to display puppies up for adoption at their stores.

The collective bargaining question places the entire law known as Senate Bill 5 before voters and allows them to vote yes to keep it, or no to reject it. At a hefty 304 pages, the measure makes significant changes to Ohio law governing public workers, now considered the strongest sector of organized labor nationally. More than 36 percent of U.S. public workers were unionized in 2010, compared to 6.9 percent of private workers, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The bill was introduced Feb. 1 and was signed into law March 31, after protests that packed the Ohio Statehouse.

Nigeria buries dead LAGOS, Nigeria (AP) — Residents fearfully left their homes Saturday to bury their dead in northeast Nigeria following a series of coordinated attacks that killed at least 67 people and left a new police headquarters in ruins, government offices burned and symbols of state power destroyed. A radical Muslim sect known locally as Boko Haram claimed responsibility for the attacks in Borno and Yobe states, with the worst damage done in and around the city of Damaturu. The group also promised to continue its bloody sectarian fight against Nigeria’s weak central government, with residents nervously moving through empty streets, waiting for the next attack. “There’s that fear that something might possibly happen again,” Nigerian Red Cross official Ibrahim Bulama said. In Damaturu, the capital of Yobe state, a car bomb exploded Friday afternoon outside a threestory building used as a military office and barracks, killing many uniformed security agents, Bulama said. Gunmen then went through the town, blowing up a bank and attacking at least three police stations and some churches, leaving them in rubble, he said. Gunfire continued through the night and gunmen raided the village of Potiskum near the capital as well, witnesses said, leaving at least two people dead there.
Sharper elbows, angrier voters WASHINGTON (AP) — One year to go until Election Day and the Republican presidential field is deeply unsettled, leaving President Barack Obama only to guess who his opponent will be. But the race’s contours are starting to come into view. It’s virtually certain that the campaign will be a close, grinding affair, markedly different from the 2008 race. It will play out amid widespread economic anxiety and heightened public resentment of government and politicians. Americans who were drawn to the drama of Obama’s barrier-breaking battle with Hillary Rodham Clinton, and the up-and-down fortunes of John McCain and Sarah Palin, are likely to see a more partisan contest this time, with Ohio and Florida playing crucial roles as they did in 2000 and 2004. Republicans have their script; they just need to pick the person to deliver it. It will portray Obama as a failed leader who backs away when challenged and who doesn’t understand what it takes to create jobs and spur business investment. Obama will highlight his opponent’s ties to the tea party and its priorities. He will say Republicans are obsessed with protecting millionaires’ tax cuts while the federal debt soars and working people struggle.

Big earthquake hits Oklahoma BY JUSTIN JUOZAPAVICIUS Associated Press SPARKS, Okla. (AP) — Clouds of dust belched from the corners of almost every room in Joe Reneau’s house as the biggest earthquake in Oklahoma history rocked the two-story building. A roar that sounded like a jumbo jet filled the air, and Reneau’s red-brick chimney collapsed and fell into the roof above the living room. By the time the shaking stopped, a pantry worth of food had been strewn across the kitchen and shards of glass and pottery covered the floor. “It was like WHAM!” said Reneau, 75, gesturing with swipes of his arms. “I thought in my mind the house would stand, but then again, maybe not.” The magnitude 5.6 earthquake and its aftershocks still had residents rattled Sunday. Two minor injuries were reported from Saturday’s quakes by the Oklahoma Department of Emergency Management, which said neither person was hospitalized. And, aside from a buckled highway and the collapse of a tower on the St. Gregory’s University administration building in Shawnee, no major damage was reported. But the weekend earthquakes were among the strongest yet in a state that has seen a dramatic, unexplained increase in seismic activity. Oklahoma typically had about 50 earthquakes a year until 2009. Then the number spiked, and 1,047 quakes shook the state last year, prompting researchers to install seismographs in the area. Still, most of the earthquakes have been small. Saturday night’s big one

Two earthquakes in the area in less than 24 hours caused one of the towers to topple, and damaged the remaining three. jolted Oklahoma State University’s stadium shortly after the No. 3 Cowboys defeated No. 17 Kansas State. Fans were still leaving the game. “That shook up the place, had a lot of people nervous,” Oklahoma State wide receiver Justin Blackmon said. The temblor sent Jesse Richards’ wife running outside because she thought their home was going to collapse. The earthquake centered near their home in Sparks, 44 miles northeast of Oklahoma City, could be felt throughout the state and in Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri, northern Texas and some parts of Illinois and Wisconsin. Richards estimated it lasted for as much as a minute. One of his wife’s
cookie jars fell on the floor and shattered, and pictures hanging in their living room were knocked askew. “We’ve been here 18 years, and it’s getting to be a regular occurrence,” said Richards, 50. But, he added, “I hope I never get used to them.” Geologists now believe a magnitude 4.7 earthquake Saturday morning was a foreshock to the bigger one that followed that night. They recorded at least 10 aftershocks by midmorning Sunday and expected more. Two of the aftershocks, at 4 a.m. and 9 a.m., were big, magnitude 4.0. “We will definitely continue to see aftershocks, as we’ve already seen aftershocks from this one,” said Paul Earle, a
seismologist with the U.S. Geological Survey in Golden, Colo. “We will see aftershocks in the days and weeks to come, possibly even months.” Brad Collins, the spokesman for St. Gregory’s University in Shawnee, said one of the four towers on its “castle-looking” administration building collapsed in the big earthquake and the other three towers were damaged. He estimated the towers were about 25 feet tall. “We definitely felt it,” Collins said. “I was at home, getting ready for bed and it felt like the house was going to collapse. I tried to get back to my kids’ room and it was tough to keep my balance, I could hardly walk.” Scientists are puzzled by the recent seismic activity. It appeared the latest quake occurred on the Wilzetta fault, but researchers may never know for sure. Earthquakes that hit east of the Rocky Mountains are harder to pinpoint because the fault systems are not as well studied as major faults like the San Andreas in California. Arkansas also has seen a big increase in earthquake activity, which residents have blamed on injection wells. Natural gas companies engaged in hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, use fluid to break apart shale and rock to release natural gas. Injection wells then dispose of the fluid by injecting it back into the ground. There are 181 injection wells in the Oklahoma county where most of the weekend earthquakes happened, said Matt Skinner, spokesman for the Oklahoma Corporation Commission, which oversees oil and gas production in the state and intrastate transportation pipelines.
PSU official accused of keeping mum on sex abuse
Fireworks smoke linked to UK crash Former coach charged with molesting 8 boys that killed 7, BY MARK SCOLFORO Associated Press injured 51 HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) —
The Pennsylvania law requiring some school officials and others to report suspected child abuse does not apply to a Penn State administrator who’s accused of keeping quiet about allegations that a former football coach molested a boy in a shower, the administrator’s attorney said Sunday. The comments by Pittsburgh lawyer Thomas J. Farrell offer a preview of the defense he plans to use on the charge of failing to report faced by his client, Gary C. Schultz, the university’s senior vice president for finance and business. Farrell said he will seek to have the charge dismissed. The charge is part of a broader case centered on retired Penn State defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky, who is accused of sexually abusing eight boys over 15 years. Schultz, 62, and Penn State athletic director Tim Curley, 57, were both charged Saturday with failing to report to state and county officials that a witness told them he saw Sandusky sexually abusing a naked boy in the showers of a team practice facility in 2002. Schultz and Curley were both also charged with perjury. Lawyers for all three men say they are innocent. Farrell told The Associated Press on Sunday that the mandated reporting rules only apply to people who come into direct contact with children. He also said the statute of limitations for the summary offense with which Schultz is charged is two years, so it expired in 2004. The explosive charges are surprising both for what they detail and their contrast to the image of Penn State’s football program. Under the leadership of Joe Paterno, who’s won more games than any

IN THIS photo provided by the Pennsylvania Office of Attorney General, former Penn State football defensive coordinator Gerald “Jerry” Sandusky, center, is placed in a police car in Bellefonte, Pa. to be taken to the office of a Centre County Magisterial District judge on Saturday. Sandusky is charged with sexually abusing eight boys. coach in Division I history, the Nittany Lions have become a bedrock in the college game. For more than four decades, Paterno’s teams have been revered both for winning, including two national championships, and largely steering clear of trouble. Paterno is not implicated in the case. “Joe Paterno was a witness who cooperated and testified before the grand jury,” said Nils Frederiksen, a spokesman for the state attorney general’s office. “He’s not a suspect.” Frederiksen called questions about whether Paterno might testify premature and speculation. “That’s putting the cart way ahead of the horse,” he said. “We’re certainly not going to be discussing the lineup of potential witnesses.” In a statement on Sunday, Paterno said that, if true, the charges were “shocking.” “The fact that someone we thought we knew might have harmed young people to this extent is deeply troubling,” he said. “If this is true we were all fooled, along with scores of professionals trained in such
things, and we grieve for the victims and their families. They are in our prayers.” Paterno said that while he did what he was supposed to do with the one accusation brought to his attention, he was “deeply saddened” by the current allegations. The grand jury report that lays out the accusations against the men cites the state’s Child Protective Services Law, which requires immediate reporting by doctors, nurses, school administrators, teachers, day care workers, police and others. Neither Schultz nor Curley appear to have had direct contact with the boys Sandusky is accused of abusing, including the one involved in the eyewitness account prosecutors say they were given. Prosecutors say Sandusky encountered victims through The Second Mile, a charity he founded for at-risk children. An email Sunday to The Associated Press from The Second Mile said the organization was preparing a written statement but did not want to comment at this time because of the criminal investigation.
LONDON (AP) — Police investigating the cause of a 34-car pile-up on a major British highway that killed seven people and injured 51 said Sunday they are focusing on a fireworks display near the accident site. While initial reports suggested fog and wet road surfaces were partly to blame for the huge collision, police said they have now zeroed in on the fireworks show after evidence taken from witnesses indicated that black smoke emerging from it may be the main culprit. Rescue workers have described the road accident as one of the deadliest in the country in years. “We believe from the witnesses and from what we’re being told that it was smoke and not fog,” Assistant Chief Constable Anthony Bangham told reporters. “The vehicles and people who were entering into the smoke bank have just described it as being impossible to drive through and that, of course, causing them to brake.” Friday night’s crash on the M5 highway in southwestern England saw dozens of cars and industrial trucks consumed by flames, with intense fireballs that made it difficult for rescue workers to get near the vehicles. The fireworks display in a nearby rugby club was one of many organized over the weekend across Britain to mark Guy Fawkes Day, an annual commemoration of the English activist who tried to blow up Parliament in the 17th century. The probe into what caused the accident will be taken up by crime teams and road police, Bangham said.

Parking was nightmare To the editor: What a horrible experience we had last night (Oct. 29). We are not from Dayton, so parking has never been an issue with us. However, when in Dayton and looking for a place to park all we found available was pay parking and the first few lots we saw closed. Then we found an open lot for $3/day and pulled in. Upon entering we saw someone at the toll booth, but we weren’t asked for money. So we assumed we’d pay when leaving. Upon returning to the lot our car was gone and assumed stolen. However, we quickly learned from someone at the toll booth that our car, as well as hers, had been towed to a location several miles away in the worst section of town. She, too, was deceived by the toll booth and hidden parking ticket machine that it was a manned lot. After calling the number on the sign behind the toll information we found that the only way to get our car back was to find a way to the tow company and pay exactly $109.14 in cash! Not having it, we had to find an ATM at 11:30 p.m. Fortunately, we have relatives in Dayton who were willing and able to get us to the tow lot. Based on the large number of cars in that lot, we were far from being alone. So please, if you’re not from Dayton, think about this before turning your night into a nightmare. Walter and Julie DeBrosse 213 Sharon Drive, Piqua
Back coach, players To the editor: I would like to take this time to express my gratitude to the head coach of the Sidney Yellow Jackets football team, Adam Doenges. I have had the opportunity watch every varsity game this year, as well as every JV game and scrimmage game. To say this year was a disappointment would be an understatement. However, through a long, difficult season, I applaud Coach Doenges. The season has been filled with highs and lows, disappointments and frustration. As fan and a parent, I do not pretend to know everything about football. There were a few times when I scratched my head, wondering what they were thinking or how or why they decided to play certain players in certain positions. But never did I see Coach Doenges lose his cool with his players, staff or officials. He was and is an example of what a head coach should be. I’m sure the school district is proud to have Adam in this position. The biggest thing I noticed about Coach Doenges is the fact the kids believe in him. They played their hearts out each week regardless of the score. They continued to play hard and give their best through the final play each week. I lived in Sidney most of my life, but I have had the opportunity to live in Findlay and Piqua, both of which have had longtenured coaches and have had success in recent years. All of us in Sidney desire to see the football program return back to a respectful level, but the current challenges before Coach Doenges have been long in the making and they will not be fixed in one season or even two. I encourage all Sidney football fans to get behind Coach Doenges, his staff and the players; support them in every way possible. Go Jackets! Phil Elmore 411 Second St., Piqua
POET’S
CORNER
The Hand of God BY MAURINE ZIMPFER Today I felt the touch of God As I awoke from dreams. It was so soft and featherlight I’m not sure what it means. Was He requesting me to rise, Perform angelic deeds, Or lie in contemplation, Ignoring daily needs? Then wide awake I realized That angels ’round my bed, Were urging me to come with them And so, in haste, we fled. We traveled many roads that day, Destruction, death and war. Administering hope and love And courage evermore. ’Tho time will pass and memories fade, We’ll walk where angels trod. And we will all recall the day I touched the hand of God.

that determines the annual COLA benefits so that it better reflects the expenses retirees typically face. The 3.6 percent COLA that seniors will see next year may not mean much to some people, but the COLA increase can make a big difference for Ohio seniors. Seniors from Washington County to Williams County have shared with me their stories of working hard and playing by the rules so they can retire with dignity. They never asked for a handout. They never expected a free ride. And they didn’t expect to have the finish line moved time and time again.
Eligibility age But some Washington politicians want to increase the retirement eligibility age. It’s not just unfair — it’s not right. If a steelworker has to wait until she is 66 years old to receive retirement benefits, then so should a member of Congress. That’s why I introduced legislation to provide parity between senior citizens and members of Congress. The Shared Retirement Sacrifice Act of 2011 would require elected officials to walk in the same shoes as working Americans. Currently,
members of Congress can begin collecting pensions as early as age 50. My bill says that if working Americans have to wait until they’re 66 to collect Social Security, members of Congress should have to do the same for their own pensions. After all, raising the retirement age might sound OK to a Washington politician, but it is a nonstarter for Ohioans who work in our state’s manufacturing facilities, farms or diners.
Backs of seniors Of course, deficit reduction is important, but we cannot afford to balance the budget on the backs of seniors. Instead, let’s end tax breaks for corporations that ship jobs overseas and stop tax giveaways to Wall Street hedge fund managers making billions each year. Privatizing Social Security to help finance extra tax cuts for wealthy Americans could dismantle the American way of life many seniors worked hard to achieve. Difficulties and challenges abound, but saddling seniors with the heaviest burdens isn’t a solution. How do we preserve a decent quality of life for Americans? Protecting Social Security is the right answer, right now.

Dorothy Love praised
Hire older workers
To the editor: Four and a half years ago my brothers and I came to the harsh realization that our father was being overcome by Alzheimer’s disease. At the same time, our mother was physically being incapacitated by years of rheumatoid arthritis. For a while, Dad preformed the physical task and Mom guided Dad to compensate for the Alzheimer’s. We knew, at one point, that Dad needed 24/7 care, and Mom also required more care than we could provide. We researched the area senior care facilities and after a considerable amount of homework, Dorothy Love Retirement Community met the majority of our important criteria. Our parents entered Dorothy Love Retirement Community on Aug. 17, 2007. Our family was so impressed by the love, care, dedication and compassion of the Dorothy Love staff we felt compelled to write this heartfelt testimonial. Our parents were always clean and dressed appropriately. The staff performed all the daily personal hygiene requirements for Mom and Dad. The laundry service was excellent, and Mom and Dad said the food was good. The activity staff also plans many neat things for the residents. Frequently, staff members did not realize we were present and in four-plus years never once did we witness anything out of line. Our parents, understandably, took to the staff with great affection. Dad passed away on Sept. 30 of this year and Mom passed away 15 days later on Oct. 15. Losing one parent is bad enough, but losing both in such a short period of time was challenging. The staff at Dorothy Love made our parents as comfortable as possible during this time. They were also very compassionate with family members and shared our grief during our parents’ passing. The Dorothy Love administration orchestrates a great plan for seniors. The nursing staff is welltrained and efficient. The STNA’s (nursing assistants) are the heart and soul of success in a senior care facility and Dorothy Love has great ones. Activities personnel plan lots of great activities for the residents. The support staff (laundry, cafeteria, janitorial, etc.) round off a successful senior care facility. The loving care we witnessed for the senior residents suggest these staff members are all two steps closer to heaven than the rest of us. God bless all of the caregivers that take care of our seniors. They all deserve our respect for the challenging and rewarding work they do. We can only express our sincere appreciation to all the staff members at Dorothy Love. Roger Steinke, 128 Elk Drive, New Bremen Bob Steinke, 35 Sawmill Road, Fort Loramie
To the editor: In reference to the article in Wednesday’s paper, “Skilled worker’s needed,” I must be the spokesperson for the 50-or-older-crowd of people. I’ve heard of people who were on the job for years being laid off and a younger person put on it and they can’t put the production out like the older person. Also, some have to watch so they don’t make any mistake or they will be laid off because they are 50 or more. I worked in a factory for 38 years. I was dependable, always on time and got my work out to customers’ demands. I am not crying over the spilled milk … just outraged when I found out that if you are 50 you can’t find a job. They say not to put your age or year you graduated but in this age, it can be found out anyway! So all I am asking is for the local employers to give us experienced workers a chance to work for you. We have our families grown, we get to work on time, dependable and we want to work! Jude Grieshop 56 Washington St., Osgood
Support appreciated To the editor: The Sidney High School Music Boosters held their first-ever quarter auction fundraiser Oct. 15. The proceeds from this event help to support music education and performance at Sidney High School, including the band, orchestra and choir programs. I would like to extend my heartfelt appreciation to all who attended the event as well as to the committee who worked hard to secure donations and ensure the event ran smoothly. I would also like to especially express my gratitude to the donors; without them this event would not have been possible. We received donations from the participating consultants, several individuals and many local businesses. We really appreciate the strong community support and the amazing donations we were able to offer for the fundraiser. Again, we appreciate everyone who helped coordinate, donated to and attended the event to help make this fundraiser a success. Thank you for supporting Sidney High school Music Boosters!

On Tuesday, a network of Ohio hog farmers, each part of the Ohio Pork Producers Council (OPPC), more than donated 30,000 pounds of ground pork to the Ohio Association of Second Harvest Foodbanks (OASHF). As part of the Pork Power program that was established in 2009, Ohio hog farmers have helped feed hungry Ohioans for more than two years, with this donation tipping the scale to more than 120,000 pounds of pork donated to OASHF and distributed through Ohio’s 12 Feeding America foodbanks. From this donation, West Ohio Food Bank received more than 10,000 pounds of pork to help feed hungry Ohioans throughout Allen, Auglaize, Hancock, Hardin, Mercer, Paulding,
Putnam, Seneca, Shelby, Van Wert and Wyandot counties. Speaking to the donation from Farm Credit Services of Mid-America, Jennifer Keller, OPPC director of marketing and education said, “We really appreciate Farm Credit and our other industry partners who have supported our efforts. With these funds, we have been able to buy hogs from Ohio farmers, doing business with Ohio processors and donate the pork to the Ohio Association of Second Harvest Foodbanks and five of its member foodbanks; helping all levels of Ohio’s economy.” To help engage individuals throughout Ohio in the fight against hunger, OPPC and Farm Credit Services of Mid-America hosted a virtual event on Facebook throughout the month of October, which is National Pork Month.
For each person that said “yes” that they would attend the event, Farm Credit Services of MidAmerica would donate one meal of pork, up to 125,000 meals of pork to OASHF. Throughout the month, individuals throughout Ohio have committed to attending this virtual event and many have left behind messages of thanks and encouragement; letting Ohio’s hog farmers know that they support their efforts of helping Ohio’s hungry men, women and children. Recognizing the power of helping those in need, OPPC partners have come forward, providing an additional 5,000 pounds of pork for a total of 30,000 pounds being donated to help feed hungry Ohioans in celebration of National Pork Month. “West Ohio Food Bank is extremely pleased to receive this pork donation

THE EMERSON Center at Edison Community College, a LEED-certified building, opened in 2007 at the Piqua campus. By making several adjustments and additions to the center’s air conditioning equipment, Edison was able to reduce energy costs by more than 50 percent in that area of the campus. stimulus remaining funds to go toward making energy efficient improvements, a portion totaling $117,000 that needed to be matched by Edison as the grant required. The funds needed to be spent within a year, with a bid approval process taking up to six months. At the end of the process, the college will be looking at annual savings of $145,000 on gas, electric and water bills including an $8,500 rebate from DP&L. Edison has started to implement some of these changes already, updating heating and air conditioning equipment and switching to energy efficient light bulbs that have cut lighting power usage from 40-50 percent. The new energy master plan has included steps to upgrade parking lot lights and add digital controls to air conditioning equipment to improve effi-
ciency and reduce waste. The college’s most recent large addition, the LEED Certified Emerson Center built in 2007, was one of the first projects to be tackled. By making several adjustments and additions to the center’s air conditioning equipment, Edison was able to reduce energy costs by more than 50 percent in that area of the campus. Further study done by the college showed that it was now using approximately 40 percent less energy this summer than it had been using in 2004. A big component of the new efficiency standards being set at Edison will revolve around the upgrading of the college’s building management system that gives users control over building functions. The new system is able to measure carbon dioxide levels so when the building is less full, the system runs
more efficiently with less outside air being brought in. “We’re adding in occupancy sensors for lighting and HVAC that will cut down on energy consumption when rooms are empty and redirect it to rooms that are full,” said Doug Riehle, Director of Physical Plant and Facilities. “There will also be more air distribution boxes so each room will have its own controls.” The campus’ parking lots and courtyards will also get a boost from the improvements as the exterior lighting fixtures will be replaced with new ones that use only one-third of the energy and offer triple the brightness in foot candles, helping to improve campus safety, Riehle said. Energy consumption isn’t the only issue being tackled with the grant money. The college has started the installation of waterless urinals in the men’s restrooms that are capable of saving 25,000 to 35,000 gallons per year in water usage. An analysis of the college’s water usage had indicated that approximately 766,000 gallons were being used to flush the 31 urinals throughout the campus. With annual savings nearing $150,000, it will take just around five years for the college to recoup the cost of making the upgrades. In compliance with the grant, all equipment purchased for improvements is made in the United States.

PIQUA — Edison Community College is in the process of making some significant changes to campus after receiving an energy efficiency grant through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act in April 2011. The funds will help Edison comply with a 2005 state law mandating that all state buildings reduce energy consumption by 20 percent in the next 10 years and develop an energy master plan. In March of 2010, Edison applied for stimulus funds available through the Ohio Department of Development to update traditional equipment, but did not receive the grant. However in April of 2011, the college was approached with an offer of more than $550,000 in

But later in the day, your confidence returns with shining strength! TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) You might begin today worried about something. However, you can relax, because these worries soon will fade. Later in the day, you’re active with matters at home. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Someone older might be critical this morning. Don’t worry about this, because as the day wears on, your ability to relate to groups, in particular, is spectacular. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) It might be difficult dealing with authority figures this morning. Someone might try to discourage you. But later in the day, the tables are turned when all eyes are on you for instruction. BY FRANCIS DRAKE What kind of day will tomorrow be? To find out what the stars say, read the forecast given for your birth sign. For Wednesday, Nov. 9, 2011 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Financial tensions might disturb your peace of mind today. Be reassured that the Full Moon tomorrow triggers a lot of this tension today. This is gone in 48 hours. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Tomorrow, the only Full Moon in your sign all year will take place. Naturally, you could feel the tension within you building up today. Be patient with partners and close friends. GEMINI May 21 to June 20) Tomorrow, the Full Moon will take place in a hidden part of your chart, acting on your subconscious. That’s why you feel vaguely out of sorts today, and possibly apprehensive. Don’t worry — this is gone in 48 hours. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Difficulties with friends might be happening today, especially in group situations. No doubt, this is due to the tension building up before tomorrow’s Full Moon.
LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Discouraging news about travel, publishing, medicine, higher education and the law might occur this morning. For some reason, things turn around later in the day, and you feel enthusiastic! VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Someone might deny you your fair share of something this morning. Stick to your guns, because later in the day, you are ready to fight for your rights! LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) You will need to go more than halfway when dealing with others today, because the Moon is opposite your sign. It might be difficult to do this in the morning, but by this afternoon, you’re happy to be cooperative. SCORPIO Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Work starts out a little difficult today. Bosses and authority figures might be grumpy. Fortunately, as the day wears on, your energy picks up! SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Children are an increased responsibility today, for some of you. Social plans might be blocked. But later in the day, suddenly the
gates open and everything turns out all right. (Go figure.) CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Family relations are a bit stiff or strained this morning. Be patient with others. Late in the day, you’re energetic about moving furniture and making changes! AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Go easy on yourself if you start today feeling worried. That’s because as the day wears on, you will feel increasingly better. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Money matters are discouraging this morning. (You feel broke.) Fortunately, by the afternoon, you see a way out of this mess, and you’re encouraged! YOU BORN TODAY No matter how normal you appear on the outside, inwardly you are attracted to strange, exotic places. You have an investigative mind. You like to push the boundaries of human experiences. You want to know how things work and why. You also have excellent money savvy. A lovely, social year awaits you. Enjoy yourself! In particular, all relationships will be blessed. Birthdate of: Parker Posey, actress; Masashi Kishimoto, manga artist; Mary Hart, TV personality.
LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Go gently when dealing with authority figures, especially parents, bosses, teachers and the police. The time before any Full Moon is always tense, and that time is today! VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Anxiety about higher education, school matters, medical and legal issues or anything to do with travel is likely today. This is all stirred up because of tomorrow’s Full Moon. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) People are uncooperative today about issues related to inheritances, banking matters, insurance and shared property. In fact, they’re very territorial. Wait a few days. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) The only Full Moon directly opposite your sign is taking place tomorrow. Naturally, you could feel tension about this building up today, especially in relationships. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Be patient with co-workers today. Relationships with others — professional or personal — are very affected by the pending Full Moon (which takes place tomorrow).
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Be patient with children today. Similarly, be patient with romantic partners. The tension that is building up today (before tomorrow’s Full Moon) will affect these relationships. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Cut family members a lot of slack today. Domestic discussions might be shaky because of the tension people feel as tomorrow’s Full Moon approaches. Stay mellow. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) This is an accident-prone day for your sign because of tension all around you, which is building up before tomorrow’s Full Moon. Slow down and take it easy. YOU BORN TODAY Because you love the joy of discovery, you are a seeker in life. In particular, you love to discover pleasure! You enjoy the good life. Because of this, others are attracted to you, wanting to share in your adventures. In your later years, you become more serious and contemplative. This year you have much to learn. Set aside some special time to study and develop new knowledge. Birthdate of: Tom Fogerty, musician; Nick Lachey, singer/songwriter; Vanessa Minnillo, MTV host.

Teacher at Lehman has passion for art In the tradition of Joe Creviston, who taught art at Lehman Catholic High School from 1990 until 1996, and Marcia Maas, who taught art at Lehman for the next 14 years, Lehman’s new art teacher has a passion for art. As soon as you begin talking to Connie Grant, you realize that art is the great love of her life. Aside from the painting apron she wears in the classroom, it is the way her eyes light up when she talks about the artwork on display, artists currently being studied or any aspect of art education. Grant is the new art teacher at Lehman, replacing Maas, who retired in May. Grant comes to Lehman with a variety of experiences. After graduating from Cincinnati Technical College, she worked as a medical lab technologist for a number of years. It was something she enjoyed, but her dream was to return to school to begin a
REAL
second career as an art teacher. She received her degree in art education from the College of Mount St. Joseph in Cincinnati. Her first position was at St. Ursula Villa in Cincinnati, a pre-K-8 Catholic school. She then spent several years at the Dayton Art Institute, teaching adult classes through the museum’s education department. “It was a good learning experience,” said Grant. “I was exposed to so much there, but I wanted to move back to teaching younger students.” “I wanted to try teaching at the high school level and I wanted to be in a Catholic school, so when I saw the opening at Lehman, I knew it could be a good fit for me,” said Grant. “I felt it would be a bigger challenge since high school students would have more advanced skills. Working with them is a way of keeping me challenged, too.”
“It has been a fairly easy transition to the high school classroom,” said Grant. “The students at Lehman are wonderful — so eager to learn. They are working hard and achieving some great results. In addition, the art room is so spacious; it is a terrific facility.” This semester, Grant is teaching Art Fundmentals, Painting and Drawing, Art History and Studio Art. “We are working on basic skills now, especially the powers of observation,” she said. “I want them to see something and draw what they see.” In the second semester, Drawing and Painting students will move on to Ceramics. “My first goal with all the classes is to generate a love of art that will carry throughout their lives,” said Grant. “The art realm is so vast. We could study something different every day and still
barely scratch the surface.” “Mrs. Grant has been a wonderful addition to our staff,” Lehman Principal Denise Stauffer said. “She has exposed our students to a variety of media — her enthusiasm for her subject is infectious. In addition, she teaches to a variety of learning styles helping her students become as excited about art as she is.” Grant and her husband, Dennis, live in Miamisburg, where he works for United Rehabilitation Services. She does not mind the 50minute commute up Interstate 75 to Sidney. “I was commuting to Mount Lookout when I taught in Cincinnati,” she said. “It is about the same distance to come to Lehman but much less traffic! It is really a pleasant drive.” The couple have two grown sons who live in Photo provided Chicago.

Nov 7, 1911 The big parade of school children boosting the high school bond issue, which was to have been held yesterday afternoon, took place this morning at 8 o’clock. Hundreds of school children marched about the city and created much comment. Many banners were carried by the children pointing out the importance of the school bond issue. A light vote is being polled in the election being held today in the city and township and the prospects are that many persons will fail to cast their ballots. Considerable scratching is being done by the voters on both sides and just what the outcome will be cannot be surmised. A number of women appeared at the polls and voted the school board ballot. ———

How can I get my wife to see this is a chance to make a difference in this boy’s life, and that he’s no threat to our family unit? — FRIEND OF A LONELY CHILD DEAR FRIEND: Your wife appears to be responding to Donny on an emotional rather than a rational level. Because she didn’t “produce” a son, she views the time or emotional nourishment that you give Donny as something being taken away from her daughters. That’s sad. It’s possible that a religious adviser could help her to view this differently, but if she can’t find sympathy in her heart for

He wears hearing aids in both ears. The aids are small and not easily seen. Recently we were in a new doctor’s office, and the nurse was talking to my son but looking in another direction. When I explained that Victor is hearing-impaired and couldn’t hear her, she replied, “Oh, I know teenagers — selective hearing.” I said, “No, he is hearing-impaired and wears hearing aids.” The same thing hap-
pened at summer camp. My husband said Victor has a hearing problem, and the counselor responded with, “So I need to smack him on the side of his head to get him to listen?” Please inform your readers that hearing aids aren’t just for older people. My son has informed people he wears hearing aids because he can’t hear well, and he still gets the same smart-alecky retorts.

have mentioned it to the doctor so he could educate her not only about hearing loss, but also about diplomacy. As to the ignorant camp counselor, your husband should have immediately reported it to the camp director. After reading your letter, I consulted Dr. Rick Friedman at the House Ear Clinic in Los Angeles, who told me that approximately one in 2,000 children is born with hearing problems. (There is a genetic component, and hearing problems can run in families.) Being subjected to loud noises can also have a negative impact on hearing, and Dr. Friedman said studies are being conducted to determine to what extent.

Lady Cavs fall in 5-set final No. 1 St. Henry prevails in regional championship BY ROB KISER Ohio Community Media TIPP CITY — The Lehman volleyball team wanted more than anything to defend its Division IV state title. But, there was no doubt when the Lady Cavaliers walked off the floor after a marathon five-set loss to St. Henry Saturday, they were champions. And the final score of 25-13, 25-17, 21-25, 20-25, 15-12 at Tipp City doesn’t tell the story. Down 2-1 and 17-8 in the fourth game against the No. 1 team in the state would have finished most teams — but Lehman didn’t bat an eye. With Lindsey Spearman sparking things from the service line, the Lady Cavaliers went on a 17-3 run to finish the fourth game and had the lead midway through the fifth game. “That just shows you how much heart these girls have,” Lehman coach Greg Snipes. “I am so proud of them. To lose the first two games and be down 17-8. We just had one bad streak in the fifth game.” With the Redskins leading 17-8 and seemingly on the verge of closing out the match, Paxton Hatcher had a big kill and Spearman stepped to the Mike Ullery/Ohio Community Media service line and served 10 LEHMAN’S PAXTON Hatcher goes up for a spike in regional straight points, with St. final action against St. Henry Saturday at Tipp City. The Lady Henry burning both of its timeouts during the run. Cavs lost a five-set thriller.
She had three aces in the run, while Morgan Schmitmeyer had two kills and Ellie Cain added one. “That was just a great rotation for us,” Snipes said. “I kept thinking she was going to serve one out, as aggressive as she was serving, but she never did. She took them out of their offense.” Kills by Schmitmeyer and Waldsmith for sideouts gave Lehman a 21-19 lead. Then, Cain had an ace, Andrea Thobe pounded two kills and Schmitmeyer finished things with a tip at 24-20 to force a fifth game. Included in that run were some amazing digs by Lehman libero Erica Paulus. “We had a great defensive match, but Erica (Paulus) was just incredible,” Snipes said. “She had the best defensive match I have seen in a long time. There was hardly a ball hit in her area that she didn’t get a touch on.” A kill by Schmitmeyer gave Lehman a 2-1 lead and Lehman was still up 8-7, when St. Henry went on a fatal 7-1 run to reach match point at 14-9. Ironically, after pounding a kill herself to make it 14-10, it was Spearman again standing at the service line. And after a spike by Hatcher and a return wide it was 14-12 and it appeared fate might be on Lehman’s side.
But a Lady Cavalier block attempt went wide ending the match and an impressive run for the defending champs. It was all St. Henry at the start of the match, as the Lady Redskins rolled to a 2513 win in the opening set. Lehman started to find its game in the second set and was tied 10-10 before some unforced errors allowed St. Henry to pull away. With Paxton Hatcher giving the Lady Cavaliers an emotional spark with her play in the middle, Lehman found themselves in the third set. “It is probably the best match Paxton (Hatcher) has played,” Snipes said. “She is an undersized middle, but they couldn’t stop her.” At 15-15, Lehman would finish on a 10-6 run, sparked by four straight points from Ellie Waldsmith, including an ace, a kill by Spearman and a spike by Thobe. An ace by Thobe and kills by Spearman, Schmitmeyer and Cain made it 24-17. St. Henry got within 24-21, before a kill by Cain gave Lehman the set and set up an epic comeback. Hatcher led with 13 kills, while Schmitmeyer added 12. Waldsmith had 10 kills and 15 digs, while Thobe had 10 kills and 30 assists. Spearman added seven kills. Cain had seven kills and 17 assists, while Paulus led the defense with 26 digs.
Bucks survive Indiana 34-20 BY TONY ARNOLD COLUMBUS — John Cooper’s first Ohio State team lost to Indiana in 1988, and the Bucks haven’t lost to the Hoosiers since. A victory was expected on Saturday, but the battle to avoid a near disaster wasn’t as Ohio State came from behind to post a 34-20 victory over Indiana. Ohio State needed a pair of second-half touchdowns to serve as the getaway vehicle against the the upset-minded visitors. The game against the punching bag of the Big Ten was too close for comfort most of the way and certainly closer than the scoreboard indicated when the final gun sounded. “Even before Saturday, I thought the key was for us to come out with some poise after a big game, some energy. I’m not sure that obviously showed to start. Maybe our youth showed up a little bit,” said OSU coach Luke Fickell. Ohio State (6-3, 3-2 Big Ten) is now bowl eligible, although the looming NCAA announcement regarding violations could wipe out the possibility of post season action. Indiana, meanwhile, dips to 1-9 and 0-6 in the Big Ten. OSU is very much alive in the Leaders Division of the Big Ten race. If they win their final three games and Penn State loses another game (besides the one against OSU scheduled later in the season) OSU could play in the first title game. Indiana came into Colum-
bus as 27-point underdogs, but it was Ohio State who had to rally after trailing by 10 points early in the game. The energy present during last week’s victory against Wisconsin failed to show-up against the Hoosiers. Trailing 10-0 following an Indy touchdown scoring drive on the heels of a Braxton Miller fumble, Ohio State was forced to play catch-up. OSU finally scored when Miller rattled off an 81-yard touchdown score on a quarterback draw. On the afternoon, three Ohio State players topped 100 yards rushing, including Dan Herron (141), Miller (105) and Carlos Hyde (105). The last time OSU had three players hit triple digits rushing was in 1970. A 36-yard field goal by Drew Basil tied it up. Basil, who added another field goal later in the half, has now made good on 12 straight field goal attempts. Basil’s second boot put OSU up 13-10 but Indiana game right back with a field goal of their own to tie it up at 13 heading into the lockerroom. Ohio State regained the lead in the third quarter when Herron broke loose for a 15yard score. However, the score was tied at 20 midway throught the third when true freshman QB Tre Roberson connected with Kofi Hughes across the middle for a 34yard TD score. But Ohio State delivered enough critical plays down the stretch to secure the vic-

The Buckeyes scored the lone touchdown of the fourth quarter. The drive was set up courtesy of a Howard inter-

ception and a 14-yard return. Hyde ran for 47 yards to bring it down to the Indiana 7. A couple of plays later Hyde returned to punch it in for the Buckeyes. “The one thing you keep look at is, man we’ve got to get a turnover. We’ve got to make
something happen defensively. It wasn’t until the end of the game that you finally come up with a turnover,” said Fickell.” Next up for the Buckeyes – they travel to Purdue. The Boilermakers lost big to Wisconsin on Saturday.

ANNA’S ADAM Larger leads a pack of runners, with Fort Loramie’s Ben Barhorst right behind him at the State Cross Country Meet Saturday.
Stewart wins again, trails by just three FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — Another round to Tony Stewart, and quite a fight for the Cup title with two races left. Stewart raced to his second consecutive victory, and won for the fourth time in eight NASCAR Chase for the Sprint Cup races, finishing just ahead of points leader Carl Edwards in the so-called “Texas Title Fight” that fully lived up to its billing Sunday. And Stewart backed up his challenge. After winning last week at Martinsville, Stewart got out of his car in Victory Lane and said Edwards “better be worried. That’s all I’m saying.”
Now it looks like a two-driver fight for the championship with two races left after they finished 1-2 at the 1¬Ωmile, high-banked Texas track. Stewart cut his points deficit from eight points to three with an average speed of 152.705 mph, the fastest Cup race at Texas, and a 1.092-second margin over Edwards. “We’re set on it, man. This is just the way it’s going to be,” Stewart said. “I don’t think we have to say anything (else). I think our performance today speaks for itself. He knows already, trust me.” The series returns next week to Phoenix, where the track has
been reconfigured and resurfaced since Edwards and Stewart finished 1-2 there in March in the third race this season, and then to Homestead-Miami Speedway for the finale. Edwards won both races at the end of last season. Stewart led seven times for a race-high 173 of 334 laps, and more importantly stayed ahead of Edwards down the stretch. On a restart with 60 laps to go after the second caution in a matter of laps, Edwards was the leader and on the inside of Stewart. Coming out of Turn 2, Stewart shot by onto the backstretch and charged back to the lead.
“He timed it just right,” Edwards said. Stewart stayed in front until both made their final stops with 31 laps left. Though they dropped out of the 1-2 spots on the track during the cycle of green-flag stops, more importantly for Stewart was that he stayed ahead of Edwards. During the first of the two cautions in a span of only six laps, Edwards had taken his first lead in more than 150 laps when he got only two tires and jumped from third to first out of the pits. Stewart also took only two tires on that stop, but came out second. When Stewart came down pit road after the
race, Edwards stuck his head in and shared a few words with his closest competitor. “I just told him, ‘Good job.’ He did a great job today. Those guys stepped it up,” Edwards said. “I’m proud of my guys for hanging on and still having the points lead. It looks like it’s truly going to come down to Tony and I, and that’s going to be a lot of fun.” Kyle Busch was officially eliminated from championship contention, unable to gain any points while watching his No. 18 Toyota going around the track from atop the pit box. He’s 100 points back with two races left.
Michael McDowell drove the Joe Gibbsowned car and finished 33rd. Busch was parked by NASCAR — a rarely used penalty he couldn’t appeal — for the Cup and Nationwide races after deliberating wrecking championship contender Ron Hornaday Jr. in the Truck Series race there Friday night. Busch issued an apology Saturday night and said he understood why he was penalized. Five-time champion Jimmie Johnson moved closer to the end of his unprecedented championship run when he finished 14th. He remained sixth in points, 54 back.

Redskins coast to 34-14 playoff win BY JUSTIN LANGEVIN FORT LORAMIE — Host Fort Loramie rolled past Cincinnati Country Day 34-14 in first round high school football playoff action Saturday night, setting the stage for a rematch with backyard rival Minster. The two teams will meet Saturday at Wapakoneta at 7 p.m., looking for a chance to play either Marion Local or Ada in the regional finals. Minster owns the only win over Loramie this season, that one coming in the season opener. For the second time in three years in the playoffs under coach Matt Burgbacher, the Redskins have advanced past the first round of games. But Matt Burgbacher was still not overly excited about the win. “We could have played alot better. I’m happy we got the win but we can’t play that way next week against a team like Minster.” All of the scoring came in the first half, and Loramie, now 10-1, didn’t take long to show its teeth as just three minutes into the first quarter Tyler Zeis put
the Redskins ahead 6-0 on an eight-yard touchdown run. Then halfway through the quarter, Cory Brandewie sliced right up the middle and he was gone on a 24-yard burst to the house, putting his team up 13-0. Less then two minutes later Cincinnati Country Day responded on a Jordan Patterson 29-yard touchdown run, and the score stood 13-7 with about three minutes left in the opening quarter. But Delaunte Thornton answered right back on a nice 33-yard run around the Cincinnati line, making it 20-7 Fort Loramie after one quarter. Four minutes into the second quarter Fort Loramie quarterback Seth Guillozet powered the ball in from one yard out on a quarterback keeper and pushing his team ahead 27-7. But on the ensuing kickoff, CCD’s Patterson would score again, this time on a 90-yard untouched kickoff return, bringing his team back in it down 27-14. With just under two minutes left in the half Fort Loramie scored again on a Guillozet 12yard pass to Jake Cordonnier, putting Fort

Stadium turf Minster routs SCC again Schultz scores five touchdowns in 48-13 playoff victory condition a moot point BY CHRIS BALLARD
BY DAVE ROSS This coming weekend the OHSAA will oversee 48 playoff football games in six divisions as regional semi-finals are played at neutral sites throughout Ohio. The association has gradually increased the number of neutral site games played on artificial turf as more stadiums install it. They want their championships determined on consistent surfaces with great footing. A year ago, only three of the 48 second round games were played on natural grass. This year there will be none as the evolution is finally completed. The OHSAA confirmed this on Sunday afternoon. Sidney and Troy were among the trio that

hosted on grass in the second November weekend of 2010. Sidney Memorial Stadium’s turf condition caused the field to be removed from consideration in 2012. Turns out it didn't matter. Troy Memorial Stadium has a superb grass field but is not a host site this year. During the weekend just concluded, 96 opening round regional quarter-finals were played on the home fields of top qualifiers. From here on out it’s nothing but artificial turf at neutral sites as the field gets cut in half weekly until six champions are crowned in early December. The OHSAA loves everything about Sidney Memorial Stadium except the absence of artificial turf. It’s that simple.

— SPRINGFIELD For the second time in as m a n y years, Minster Head C o a c h N a t e Moore and his Wildcat s q u a d began their playoff Schultz journey against Steve Dewitt’s Springfield Catholic Irish. With stingy defense and a powerful, fast offense, Minster was able to stifle the Irish and roll to a 48-13 victory. Minster is now 8-3 on the year and has a rematch Friday with neighborhood rival Fort Loramie, 10-1. The two will meet Saturday night at Wapakoneta. The Irish received the ball to begin the game and wasted no time getting to the endzone. The first play from scrimmage for Dewitt’s squad implied that all fans attending may be in store for a close and exciting game as Irish senior quarterback Bian Kelly connected with junior Dimitrious Dimitroff on a quick 42-yard pass. On the next play, Kelly found Dimitroff again on a 26-yard pass over the middle of the field. This would set up a 9-yard touchdown run by Kelly for a 7-0 lead less than a minute into the game. After the kickoff, the Wildcats’ offense got nowhere, and punted. But a few plays into Catholic’s second possession, the Wildcat defense forced Kelly to fumble and recovered at its own 30-yard line. Two plays into Minster’s second drive of the game, junior running back Korey Schultz scampered around the right side of the defense and raced to the end zone for a 66-yard touchdown run, the first of five scores on the night for him.

MINSTER’S TROY Kauffman steps out of a tackle in Division VI playoff action at Springfield Catholic Saturday. The Wildcats coasted to a 48-13 victory. Irish’s next drive, they wasted no time getting downfield. Set up by a series of completions from Kelly, Dimitroff hauled in a 4-yard pass to give Catholic a 13-7 lead as Shannon was unsuccessful on his extra point attempt. The Irish would hold this lead going to into the second quarter. After the first quarter clock struck zero, the Wildcats’ attitude changed as they didn’t allow the Irish to score in the final three quarters of the game. Ten seconds into the second quarter, the Wildcats began their comeback as junior running back Troy Kauffman sped around the left side of the defense on his way a 36-yard touchdown run. Devon Poeppelman
found success on his extra point, thus giving the Cats a 14-13 lead with 11:50 to go in the second quarter. After a methodical drive mixed with both running and passing, the Cats were able to score again as Schultz powered through the middle of the Irish defense on a 4-yard touchdown run for a 21-13 lead with 7:40 left in the half. After both teams swapped consecutive three-and-outs, the Cats powered their way to another touchdown as Schultz ran down the right sideline while making several shifty moves on his way to scoring his third touchdown of the night. After Schultz’s 27-yard run and the extra point, Minster owned a 28-13 lead
with 2:20 remaining before halftime. Throwing an interception on their ensuing possession didn’t help the Irish as they found themselves having to defend a short field. A string of runs got the Cats to the one-yard line, allowing Minster quarterback Adam Niemeyer to connect with Poeppelman in the endzone for another Wildcat touchdown. After a missed extra point, the Wildcats held a 34-13 lead, which they would take into halftime. As soon as the second half began, Moore’s Wildcats wasted no time getting after it again. With 11:44 left in the third, Minster’s Schultz found himself slipping through the defense and racing down the right sideline on his way to a 65-yard touchdown run and a 41-13 leaqd. On the ensuing drive, Kelly was picked off by Kauffman with 10:02 left in the third quarter. Schultz added his final score whenhe picked off a Kelly pass and returned it 65 yards for a score. Minster eolled up 300 yards on the ground, with Schultz carrying for 186 yards on just seven carries. The Minster defense held the Irish to minus9 yards rushing.

Bengals rally, beat Titans Overcome 17-7 deficit at the half to win 24-17 NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The Cincinnati Bengals just keep rolling, and Andy Dalton’s confidence seems to be growing with each win. Dalton threw for three touchdowns and 217 yards, and the Cincinnati Bengals rallied from a 10-point deficit and beat the Tennessee Titans 24-17 Sunday for their fifth straight victory and longest winning streak since 1988. The Bengals (6-2) hadn’t won five straight since 1988 when they took the AFC championship and went to their second Super Bowl. They also improved to 41 on the road with the rookie quarterback leading the Bengals to 17 unanswered points as he tossed TD passes to different rethree ceivers. Tennessee (4-4) has lost two of three to wrap up a three-game homestand. Chris Johnson had 110 yards from scrimmage, but the Titans blew a 17-7 halftime lead when the offense shut down in the second half. Tennessee managed just 95 yards in the final 30 minutes with 30 on the final play that came up well short of the end zone. Cincinnati came in with the fourth-stingiest defense in the NFL, and the Bengals helped shut down the Titans in

CINCINNATI BENGALS quarterback Andy Dalton (14) gets a pass away as he is pressured by Tennessee Titans defensive end Dave Ball, right, in the second quarter of an NFL football game on Sunday in Nashville, Tenn. the second half. Carlos Dunlap had two sacks, and Nate Clements stripped the ball for the lone turnover. Clements forced Titans tight end Jared Cook to fumble at the end of an 8-yard gain to give Cincinnati the ball at the Tennessee 20 with 3:49 left. Mike Nugent kicked a 36-yard field goal for the final margin. Tennessee got the ball back with one last shot, but struggled with two 10-second runoffs and no timeouts. Lavelle Hawkins was tackled after a 30-yard gain to the Cincinnati 32 after time expired. Now the Bengals head into the toughest part of their schedule two wins ahead of their total of last season. Cincinnati faces the Steelers twice and the
Ravens once in its next four games. They took over after halftime, outgaining Tennessee 97-8 in total offense in the third quarter. Dalton took advantage of a defensive pass interference play to set up his second TD pass, a 15-yarder to Jerome Simpson. The rookie QB from Texas Christian then drove the Bengals 75 yards using up 6 minutes, 55 seconds before finding Andre Caldwell for a 5-yard TD with 10:52 left and a 21-17 lead that Cincinnati never lost. Johnson ran pretty well at times and finished with 64 yards rushing and 46 yards receiving. But the Titans wasted their best field position at the Cincinnati 49 on the opening possession of the third
quarter. In a sign of how much they would struggle, they wound up going backward with a penalty and went threeand-out. The Titans had all the momentum at halftime after scoring two touchdowns in the second quarter. Matt Hasselbeck was 10 of 13 for 117 yards with a 143.3 passer rating in the quarter, tossing an 8yard TD pass to Damian Williams where the second-year receiver tapped his toes in at the back of the end zone before falling out. then Hasselbeck found Hawkins in the back right corner for a 16-yard TD pass 8 seconds before the half for a 17-7 lead for the Titans. But they would manage no more points the rest of the way.

Texas run past Browns HOUSTON (AP) — The Houston Texans are feeling good about themselves after another commanding win without star receiver Andre Johnson. Arian Foster rushed for 124 yards, Ben Tate ran for 115 and both scored touchdowns in leading Houston to a 3012 victory over the Cleveland Browns on Sunday. “We felt like going into this game, that this is a game we should dominate,” tackle Eric Winston said. “I feel like we did. We’re finding our groove. Right now, we’re feeling pretty good, and we’ve got to keep it moving.” The Texans (6-3) finished with a franchiserecord 261 yards rushing and had a pair of 100yard rushers for the second time in three games. They moved three games over .500 for the first time, and have now won three in a row without Johnson, who’s missed five games with a right hamstring injury. Houston used the same formula it employed in a 41-7 win at Tennessee two weeks ago. Foster and Tate also both ran for 100 yards in that game, and the defense held the Titans’ offense to 11 first downs and 148 yards. The Browns (3-5) totaled 10 first downs and 172 yards. Houston’s defense has held the last three opponents under 200 yards, continuing its transformation under new coordinator Wade Phillips. “This defense is very motivated,” linebacker Brian Cushing said. The Texans kept constant pressure on Colt
McCoy, who was making his first NFL start in the state where he starred in college. McCoy was sacked four times and only 14 completed passes for 146 yards with an interception. “They came from the first snap to the last and it’s frustrating,” McCoy said. “They were able to create a lot of pressure up front. At times, it was hard to overcome.” McCoy also got little support from the Browns’ running game, hit by injury and controversy in recent weeks. Chris Ogbonnaya, signed off the Texans practice squad less than a month ago, fumbled on his first carry and finished with 28 yards in place of injured running backs Peyton Hillis and Montario Hardesty. The Texans scored on their opening series for the sixth time this season. Matt Schaub went 4-for-4 and Tate weaved his way through the Browns’ defense for a 27yard touchdown run. Ogbonnaya lost the ball on Cleveland’s first play from scrimmage, defensive end J.J. Watt recovered at the Browns 28, and Schaub scrambled for another score for a 14-0 lead less than 8 minutes into the game. “We started very fast, both sides of the ball,” Houston coach Gary Kubiak said. Joshua Cribbs had Cleveland’s biggest play of the half, a 63-yard kickoff return. But he was flagged for grabbing Brice McCain’s facemask, and the Browns settled for Phil Dawson’s 50-yard field goal.

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

Chapter Six: The End of the Journey “While it would seem to many that Coronado’s expedition was a failure, he actually discovered many new areas of the southwest United States, and claimed ownership of them for Spain. While they never found gold, their treasures were the amazing places they visited, including the Grand Canyon.” – Coronado and the Golden Cities Karol, Felix and Hector stood on the sidewalk looking up at a sign that read TREASURE ROOM. There was a big golden crown under the words. Instantly, they knew they had been fooled. “Is this supposed to be some kind of a joke?” Felix yelled. “Yeah, Hector,” Karol also was angry. “This isn’t funny!” “I had no idea that this was the treasure,” Hector said, apologetically. “You’ve got to believe me! “When I was little, my dad gave me this,” Hector said, pulling a gold coin from his pocket. “He told me that it came from Gallinas. I tried to get him to tell me more, but he wouldn’t. He would only
ing a wool-beaded vest and buckled into a safety belt, was a small brown goat. “I’ve got an idea,” Felix said, untying the string from around his neck. “This is for Misha!” He hooked the old brass bell onto the goat’s collar. When he stepped back, Felix could see that Demetri had tears in his eyes. “When I left Russia for a new life here in America, I had to leave behind many things,” he began. “And one of them was a small bell that would hang from the doorway of our home. I will forever keep this bell on Misha, and it will bring me good luck. Thank you!” Felix felt like he had removed a heavy weight from around his neck. “You’re welcome,” he said softly. “Well, I don’t know where you three are heading,” Demetri offered, “but I’m on my way to Corona, if you want a ride.” As soon as they heard him say “Corona,” they were climbing into the back of his taxi. “Buckle up, you three, and we’ll be on our way!” he directed. They all did as he asked, then took turns telling Demetri tales of their overnight adventure. “So … ‘the treasure is in the journey.’ What do you
think it means?” Demetri pretended to wonder. “Well, I know I’ve made a couple of really great friends,” Karol said. And suddenly it all made sense. “Thanks, Demetri,” Felix said. “I think you helped us find our treasure!” “It was nice meeting you all. Here’s your stop!” Demetri announced. The taxi pulled up in front of the Corona School. The explorers grabbed their backpacks and thanked Demetri for the ride. “Hold on a minute, chicos,” he said, walking to the back of the car. He opened the trunk and pulled out a well-used, blue and green, very familiar-looking soccer ball. He tossed it to Felix and climbed back into the driver’s seat without another word. “I think my luck is starting to change already. Adios, see you at school tomorrow!” Felix said to his friends. He was eager to tell his grandma about his adventure. And as he walked home, he wondered if the curse had finally been lifted.

say, ‘Just remember, the treasure is in the journey.’ ” Hector held out the hand with the gold coin. It had the same crown as the sign and a few symbols, but no words. “Honestly, I had no idea that the coin came from here. I would never have made you two go through everything we did, for a dumb old game token!” The dejected explorers all sat on the edge of the curb. It was hard for Karol and Felix to stay mad at Hector, because he looked just as disappointed as they felt. And Felix still remembered how he felt just a few days ago, when his soccer friends all shunned him. “It’s OK, amigo,” Felix told his friend. “Thanks, but now we still have to get back home and we’re all out of food!” Hector sniffed. “Hey, we’re three pretty smart explorers. We’ll figure something out!” Felix gave Hector a friendly punch in the arm. “What’s wrong?” Demetri yelled from his rolled-down window. They hadn’t noticed his taxi pull up, and his loud voice startled them. “Well, there wasn’t a treasure after all,” Karol told Demetri. “I’m sorry to hear that,” Demetri said. “Would you kids like to meet my travel partner?” The friends leaned into the taxi and received a shock. Sitting in the front seat, wear-

Did You Know?
Why Voting Matters The government — whether it's in Washington, D.C., in your state, or in your hometown — affects your life and by voting, you get to say what's important to you, and you say it straight to the politicians. It makes us equal. Each of us (when we're old enough) has one and only one vote. Voting is one of the few times when all grown ups in the U.S. have an equal say. No matter how much money you have or who your friends are, you only get one vote. Each vote sends a message. Even if the person you vote for loses, your vote matters because it lets winners and losers know who supports their points of view. Politicians notice who is and isn't voting. In the U.S., the highest voter turnout is among seniors. So it's no surprise that politicians are going to spend a lot of time on issues that are important to older people, like Social Security and Medicare. Younger voters, like 18-24 year-olds, haven't voted in high numbers recently, so it's easier for politicians to pay less attention to the issues that are important to young people. Whoever wins has the power to impact your life. The government is in charge
STIELECON Make your own voting booth You will need: 1. One very large box • A refrigerator box works great • The box should be large enough for students to walk into 2. Paint, Paper, Newspaper • Paint or cover the box with your choice of materials • Design posters or flags, etc. and paste them on the booth 3. Crepe paper streamers • Pick colors to go with your election: red/white/blue for a U.S. election or school colors for school elections

of making important decisions that impact almost every aspect of your life, like... * Your school — such as what gets taught, how many kids are in your class. * The environment including how clean your air and water will be, how we'll deal with global warming problems. * Your health — including whether or not you and your family can get health insurance, how much it costs to go to the doctor or to buy prescription drugs. * Who gets to visit, work and live in our country. If some members of your family live in another country and would like to move here, the federal government controls whether or not they can. * Your safety including how big your police and fire departments are. * How much money we spend on the military and whether we go to war. What happens now has a great effect on the future. If you think that your opinion doesn't matter about who's president now, think again! The people in office now are making decisions that will affect your life now AND later! This is why it's important to get involved and be heard now, even when you can't vote.
