Miami County Ballot shapes up Will E Sanders

Staff Writer wsanders@civitasmedia.com

TROY — Some of them have never ran or held a public office before and others are seasoned veterans in the public arena, but they all have one thing in common: their desire to serve the public.

The ballot for the Nov. 5 general election in Miami County is shaping up and the Miami County Board of Elections certified elections petitions Thursday in preparation of the upcoming election.

Seats that are open throughout the county run the gamut of political office positions, from mayors of cities and small villages to school boards, councils and township trustees, and aside from choosing candidates registered voters will also be the

deciding factor in a number of local issues.

Barring any official ruling by the board of elections, the candidates and issues that will be appearing on ballots across the county consist of a total of 112 candidates and 15 issues.

In Piqua, two seats are open for city commission that are currently held by third and fourth ward commissioners, Joseph Wilson and Judy Terry, respectively, and both are seeking re-election. Wilson will be challenged by James Cruse Jr. The position of Piqua mayor will be up for grabs and current Mayor Lucy Fess, also the Fifth Ward commissioner, is running to secure the spot, but so is Bill Vogt, the commissioner from Ward 2.

In Troy, Martha Baker is running for president of council and Mel Shane is running for coun-

cil treasurer. Six are running for council wards, consisting of Tom Kendall, Douglas Tremblay, John Schweser, Bobby Phillips, Bill Twiss and Brock Heath.

Three at-large council seats are being sought by Al Clark, Robin Oda and Lynne Snee. All candidates are Republicans.

In Tipp City, three residents are running for council, Patrick Hale, Joseph Gibson and Katelyn Berbach.

Elsewhere in village governments the following citizens are running: Bradford Council, Michael Warner, Desmond Layman, Jeffrey Wirrig, Deborah Warner, Thomas Moore, and David Abney; Casstown mayor, Hollenna Patton; Casstown council, Brandy Norman, Neal Norman, and Denise Miller; Covington council, Don Weer, Robert Tobias, and Joyce Robertson; Fletcher council,

Bonnie Davis, Brian Reid, and Penny Reed; Pleasant Hill council, Vickie Kirk and John Weaver Jr.; Pleasant Hill board of public affairs, Von Fessler; Potsdam council, Stephen Smiley; West Milton mayor, Michael Coate II; West Milton council, Susan Willis, Donald Edmunds, and Anthony Miller.

When it comes to schools, every board of education in the county has seats open: Miami County Education Service Center, Robert Allen; Bethel, P. Scott Hawthorn, Joseph Solch, and Brian Moore; Bradford, Nathan Paulus, Stanley Roberts Jr., Carolyn Smith, John Lavey, Mike Miller, Sandra Miller, and Theodore Reed; Covington, Alexander Reck, Lee Harmon, and W. Dean Pond; Newton, Lane Robbins, Lisa Hildebrand,

MIAMI COUNTY — The Paulus brothers are “supreme” naturals when it comes to showing their

Kodi explained how

PIQUA — Brides-to-be, along with their fiances and families, will find everything they need to plan the perfect wedding and they won’t have to spend lots of time and money to do it.

All they have to do is visit the eighth annual Weddings of Distinction Bridal Show at the Fort Piqua Plaza, 308 N. Main St., Piqua, on Sunday.

The Sidney Daily News, Troy Daily News and Piqua Daily Call sponsor the event annually as a one-stop-shop for wedding-planning couples. This year’s show runs from noon to 4 p.m. on the fourth floor of the plaza.

brothers work together to show the animals in the ring.

“It’s like brother bonding,” Kamron said. “We are both in there and have to work together so when we win, we win together.”

The brothers exhibit the sheep from their grandparents’ farm, Bel-Mar Farms, located outside of Casstown.

Bel-Mar Farms is owned by the Paulus’ grandparents Mark and Debi Bell.

“I like the environment of the breeding sheep shows better,” Kamron said. “I’ve been doing it since I could walk — it’s a family thing.”

“I like showing as a family,” Kodi said.

“Because it brings us

all together and we all like doing it — it’s fun.”

Kodi also enjoys competing in the showmanship divisions at the fair. At the 2011 Miami County Fair, Kodi was named Showman of Showmen.

“I love showmanship because it shows people what you can accomplish,” he said. “It’s not just the sheep — it’s you.”

Showing breeding sheep as a team is a challenge, but keeps each show interesting, Kodi said.

“We are always switching positions and it’s not the same thing every time,” he said.

Kamron said he enjoys the breeding classes much more than market lambs because

of the atmosphere.

“It’s not as intense,” he said. “It’s more relaxing — more smooth and laid back.”

The Paulus brothers both agreed that 2013 Ohio State Fair was a highlight for them and enjoyed showing at this year’s county fair while hanging out with family and friends in and out of the barns.

“You get to represent your county with your sheep,” Kamron said.

“People always want to know where you are from, so it’s nice to represent Miami County well each year at the state fair.”

A unique feature Kodi said he enjoys is sleeping in the barns at the state fair, yet enjoys hanging out with

“It’s nice having a lot of competition to see how your stack up,” Kamron said. “It’s nice to see where you stand and it makes you feel better about yourself.”

PERSPECTIVE

EDITORIAL ROUNDUP The Advocate, Baton Rouge, La., on Putin earns Obama snub: When the leaders of the industrial nations meet next month in Russia, there will be formal large sessions and, in the unvarying tradition of diplomacy, many one-on-one meetings at which more real negotiating might be done.

We’re glad that President Barack Obama erased one of those sessions from his calendar, that with the authoritarian president of Russia. “The immediate cause of the rupture is the Russian sheltering, against its treaty obligations, of U.S. fugitive Edward Snowden.

However, there are many other good reasons for the United States to avoid entanglement with the near-dictator Vladimir Putin. From Damascus to Moscow, in fact, people are dying or suffering imprisonment because of Putin’s reckless policies.

Things will change, as is also an unvarying tradition of diplomacy, but Russo-American relations are going to be in a deep freeze for a while.

The Miami Herald on scandals in Cuba: A rusty North Korean ship hides 2 MiGs, munitions and radar systems — 240 tons of contraband weapons in all — under tons of sacks of Cuban sugar then gets stopped going through the Panama Canal.

A former Cuban Interior Ministry colonel accused of abusing prisoners of conscience retires in Miami, then flees to Cuba when former prisoners spot him on South Florida streets only to return again, this time to New Jersey, and, get this, apply for U.S. aid.

A growing number of Medicare fraudsters owing the U.S. government millions of dollars for fake claims exit stage left and head to the communist island, living the high life with impunity.

Meanwhile, Cuban officials keep decrying the U.S. “imperialist” government for an embargo that has so many loopholes — allowing food, medicine and even high-tech communications to reach Cubans — that it’s turned into a paper tiger without a Cold War roar.

What’s going on? Are U.S. officials paying attention?

Then there’s the case of Crescencio Marino Rivero, 71, and his wife Juana Ferrer, as reported by El Nuevo Herald’s Cuba reporter Juan Tamayo on Sunday.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement may be investigating if the couple lied on their entry papers, but ICE officials won’t confirm it — though former political prisoners have said ICE officials have interviewed them about this case. The couple maintains they are innocent and simply want to live in peace near their daughter in South Florida.

It wouldn’t be the first time that former Cuban military or Interior officials get a pass — virtually every U.S. administration has allowed it in exchange for information that those former officials can provide about Cuba. …

The question begs: If Cuba is on the State Department’s “terror” list, why would the regime’s former officials be able to obtain U.S. visas and go back and forth to the island in their “retirement”?

Cuba is not a postcard of rum and dance. It should give U.S. officials pause that the 54-year dictatorship run by the Castro brothers has been securing friends in all the wrong places: from North Korea to Iran. Nothing good can come of it.

The Australian on US-Russian relations ice over: President Barack Obama’s abrupt cancellation of long-standing arrangements for a bilateral summit with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin is a rare but calculated diplomatic snub. The trigger was Putin’s provocative decision to grant temporary asylum to the fugitive US National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden.

Putin has also been obstructionist in backing the Syrian Assad regime with sophisticated missile combat systems. And Washington and Moscow are at odds on the Kremlin’s repression of Putin’s political opponents, the plight of human rights campaigners and Russia’s support of terrorist groups such as Hezbollah. Putin, a former KGB colonel, has even been unwilling to take action on reducing nuclear stockpiles.

A return to the aggressive rhetoric and confrontation of the Cold War is in nobody’s interests, least of all Moscow’s. Mr Putin needs a reality check. His self-delusional chest-thumping cannot disguise the fact Russia is nothing like the power it was in Soviet times. Its best interests would be served by working with the international community. Obama will attend the G20 leaders’ meeting in Russia next month. Participants should leave Putin in no doubt he is seriously risking Russia’s interests.

LETTERS Are you truly a follower of God? To the Editor: How many of us have truly accepted God into our lives? How many of us go to church every Sunday, but then just go ahead and do whatever we want the rest of the week?

It’s one thing to say you are truly a follow of God, it’s quite another to act like it. It’s easy to say you are one thing, but actually backing it up with actions is what truly separates the true followers of God from those who are just paying him lip service.

I hope you will remember this as you go through the course of your daily life. God is good. His Son died for our sins. Are you truly repaying Jesus Christ for making the ultimate sacrifice for you by actually living as a follower of God, or are you just saying you are living as a follower of God? I like to say that I am a follower of God, but I know I don’t always act like a follower of God. It’s something I am working on, however. I am a work in progress. Fortunately our God is a compassionate and loving God, so he will forgive me when I strumble along my path.

Please try to act like a true follower of God and don’t just say you are a true follower of God. It is the only way to achieve eternal life. For while you may be suffering here on Earth, there is a better future waiting for you in the Kingdom of God if you are willing to make the sacrifces to get there.

It worked for a little while.

“I don’t want new lambs, I just want Spike!” Evan cried as we walked away from the sale.

I reassured him that new lambs would be bought next spring, so Evan started coming up with new names for next year’s project.

I think that means he had a good time in his first year of 4-H. And I think that means I’ll be crying at the fair sale every year for the next decade.

But, as a parent on the flip side of this experience, I’ll cry tears of appreciation. It’s not about the money or final bid. It’s about the community relationships which are formed over the years which recognize the hard work it takes to enjoy the county fair.

Later on, I watched Evan’s 4-H club friends and parents wipe away tears as the year slowly ended.

Even hours later, I still get choked up thinking of all the wonderful buyers and support there is for our kids under one barn roof.

From all the “Fair Moms” and “Fair Dads,” I thank all the businesses and individuals who support these hard working kids each year at the fair. Thank you.

Ohio ‘heartbeat’ abortion bill to be reintroduced COLUMBUS (AP) — Ohio lawmakers are revisiting a proposal to effectively ban abortions after the first fetal heartbeat is detected — as early as six weeks into pregnancy.

State Rep. Lynn Wachtmann, the previous sponsor of the bill, told The Associated Press that he and others will announce plans to reintroduce the so-called “heartbeat bill� at a Thursday news conference.

About 40 of the 99 Ohio House members have signed onto the bill as co-sponsors, said Wachtmann, a Republican who chairs of the House Health and Aging Committee.

The GOP-led House passed the abortion measure last year, but it failed in the Republicandominated Senate after the GOP leader there blocked it from a vote. He has since retired due to

and numerous nieces, nephews, and extended family, as well as many wonderful friends.

He was preceded in death by his parents, his sister Alfia Kline, and his nephew, Larry Kline.

He was a U.S. Navy Veteran of WWII, having served on the USS North Carolina from 1942 to 1945. After the service, Tony graduated from the Hobart Welding School in Troy, Ohio.

He was a member of the UAW and the American Legion Post No. 43.

He retired after 37 years with General Motors. Three words to sum up Tony’s life would be: honest, strong, and good-hearted.

The sound remains the same Led Zeppelin tribute band coming back to Hobart

By Jim Davis

Civitas Media jdavis@civitasmedia.com

If imitation is indeed the most sincere form of flattery, the members of Zoso clearly hold rock band Led Zeppelin in high regard.

More than 2,400 performances into a musical journey covering material by the legendary rockers, Zoso — The Ultimate Led Zeppelin Experience has signed on for an 8 p.m. show Nov. 8 — its third appearance at Troy’s historic Hobart Arena.

Arena director Ken Siler said fans have requested a return engagement by the band since its last appearance in late 2010.

“We are bringing back Zoso for the third time.

They performed at the arena in 2009 and 2010 and we had a very favorable response,” he said.

“We have continued to have requests for them to return. They are a very impressive act and I think many that saw them here previously will return to see them again.

They tour all over the

country and continue to draw large crowds. Fans will see a high quality act at a very affordable ticket price.”

Matt Jernigan, who portrays lead singer Robert Plant, said in an earlier interview with the Troy Daily News that Led Zeppelin’s music has endured because of its quality and broad appeal.

“Led Zeppelin has something for everyone.

It has folk, it has rock, pop, reggae, blues and classical,” he said. “They were really diversified.”

Formed in 1995, Zoso consists of Jernigan, John McDaniel as Jimmy Page on lead guitar, Adam Sandling as John Paul Jones on bass, and Greg Thompson as the late John Bonham on drums.

Through countless hours of practice and thousands of live shows, Zoso members have been able to present a set that embodies the spirit of Led Zeppelin’s show.

“It took a couple of years to really get comfortable at it. There were a lot of things we had to learn,” Jernigan said of the transformation from an original quartet to a carbon copy of the iconic rock band. “And at the time we started, all we had were (the con-

HOROSCOPE

BY FRANCES DRAKE

For Saturday, Aug. 17, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Tip-toe around authority figures today, because power struggles and unpleasant surprises are likely. Resist the urge to be defiant or say something you might later regret.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) This is a mildly accident-prone day for you so pay attention to what you say and do. Avoid controversial subjects like politics and religion. Travel plans might be canceled or changed.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Stay in touch with your bank account today because something different and sudden might take place. (Bounced checks? Overdrawn?) Squabbles about shared property are likely. Be cool.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Use your diplomatic skills today to avoid clashes with others. Authority figures might catch you off-guard or challenge you. Even close friends are too intense for comfort. (Run away!)

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Your work routine will be disrupted today. Computer crashes, power outages and staff shortages are just some examples. Avoid power struggles with others. Demonstrate grace under pressure.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Keep an eye on your kids today (or children in your care) to avoid accidents. Ego battles with friends, especially in group situations, might arise.

Tread carefully!

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Your routine might be interrupted by domestic disputes or the frustration of small appliances breaking down. Be patient with family members, because someone has to encourage keeping the peace.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Be careful. This is an accident-prone day for your sign. Slow down and take it easy. Allow extra time and wiggle room for everything you do.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Money challenges might frustrate you today. Quarrels about possessions and finances are likely. You might also lose money in an attempt to have fun. Be careful.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Some people are looking for an argument today, so you might want to steer clear of these people. Guard against knee-jerk reactions to others. Don't say or do anything rash.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) You might feel restless and impatient today. You don't want to be pushed around by anyone. (Naturally.) Nevertheless, don't say anything you will regret later.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Power struggles with a friend, especially within a group, might discourage you. The result could be a change to a financial arrangement. Be careful.

YOU BORN TODAY You are powerful, versatile, forceful and explosive. You don't do things halfway. Despite these personality characteristics, privately, you can be very soft-spoken and solitary. (You protect your private life.)

You're a natural leader and quick to take over managing anything. (You can also be quick to argue.) This year you will work to build or construct something important to you.

Gingrich declared at the gathering Wednesday, offering a particularly harsh critique of Republican strategy on health care.

Gingrich said congressional Republicans would have “zero answer” for how to replace the president’s health care overhaul when asked, despite their having voted repeatedly to repeal the measure.

“We are caught right now in a culture, and you see it every single day, where as long as we’re negative and as long as we’re vicious and as long as we can tear down our opponent, we don’t have to learn anything. And so we don’t,” Gingrich said.

“This is a very deep problem.”

The program supplements an ongoing effort to expand Republican outreach among minority communities across the country.

Women voted for Obama by an 11-point margin in 2012, and they have not backed a GOP candidate for president since Ronald Reagan’s successful bid for re-elec-

GOP pushes rising stars amid calls for solutions BOSTON (AP) — Republican officials are looking to promote a fresh group of diverse rising stars to help resolve their election woes, while frustrated party elders insist that all Republicans must offer more solutions for the nation’s most pressing issues.

The calls for change come nine months after a painful 2012 election in which the GOP lost the presidential race and a handful of close Senate contests. A tug of war over the Republican Party’s future is on display as conservative activists and party leaders from across the country gather in Boston this week for the Republican National Committee’s annual summer meeting.

The RNC on Thursday was introducing the first four members of its “Rising Stars” program: —Karin Agness, founder and president of the Network of enlightened Women, or NeW. The Indiana native started the organization for conservative university women in 2004 while at the University of Virginia.

WASHINGTON (AP) — In secretive chat rooms and on encrypted Internet message boards, al-Qaida fighters have been planning and coordinating attacks — including a threatened if vague plot that U.S. officials say closed 19 diplomatic posts across Africa and the Middle East for more than a week.

It’s highly unlikely that alQaida’s top leader, Ayman alZawahri, or his chief lieutenant in Yemen, Nasser al-Wahishi, were personally part of the Internet chatter or, given the intense manhunt for both

by U.S. spy agencies, that they ever go online or pick up the phone to discuss terror plots, experts say.

But the unspecified call to arms by the al-Qaida leaders, using a multilayered subterfuge to pass messages from couriers to tech-savvy underlings to attackers, provoked a quick reaction by the U.S. to protect Americans in far-flung corners of the world where the terror network is evolving into regional hubs.

For years, extremists have used online forums to share information and drum up support, and over the past decade they have developed systems that blend encryption programs with anonymity software to hide their tracks.

Jihadist technology may now be so sophisticated and secretive, experts say, that many communications avoid detection by National Security Agency programs that were designed to uncover terror plots.

“This creates a bit of a catand-mouse game between terrorist groups that can buy commercial technology and intelligence agencies that are trying to find ways to continue to monitor,” said Seth Jones, a former adviser to U.S. special operations forces and counterterrorism expert at Rand Corp., a Washington-based think tank that receives U.S. government funding. “Some of the technology you can buy is pretty good, and it evolves, and it is a game that is constantly evolving.”

A U.S. intelligence official said the unspecified threat was discussed in an online forum joined by so many jihadist groups that it included a representative from Boko Haram, the Nigerian insurgency that

has loose ties to al-Qaida. Two other intelligence officials characterized the threat as more of an alert to get ready to launch potential attacks than a discussion of specific targets.

One of the officials said the threat began with a message from al-Wahishi, head of the Yemen-based al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula, to alZawahri, who replaced Osama bin Laden as the core al-Qaida leader. The message essentially sought out al-Zawahri’s blessing to launch attacks.

Al-Zawahri, in turn, sent out a response that was shared on the secretive online jihadi forum.

All three intelligence officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the threat.

Rita Katz, director of the Washington-based SITE Intelligence Group, which monitors jihadist websites, said it’s all but certain that neither al-Zawahri nor al-Wahishi would communicate directly online or on the phone.

Al-Zawahri’s location is unknown, but he was last believed to be in Pakistan, and al-Wahishi is said to be in Yemen. Given the nearly 2,000 miles between the two men, Katz said it’s most likely they separately composed encrypted messages, saved them on thumb drives and handed them off to couriers who disseminated them on secure websites.

Bin Laden, who was killed

by U.S. Navy SEALs in May 2011, issued his messages in much the same way.

“These guys are not living in a bubble,” said Katz, who has been watching al-Qaida and other jihadi communications for years. “They live in a reality that is facing the American intelligence interception with the best, most advanced technology that can be created. So they always try to find ways to get away from these interceptions to be able to deliver messages.”

She added: “I am sure they are delivering messages, through the message boards or by sending emails that are encrypted. But there is no way in my mind that Zawahri or Wahishi have access to the Internet, and I think Wahishi, at this stage of his life, is even afraid of going outside.”

Growing up:

By JOSH BROWN Sports Editor jbrown@civitasmedia.com

TROY — Troy’s leaders this season progressed naturally into that role.

Which is exactly what the Trojans will need after losing four All-GWOC North players to graduation.

“They’ve all been key role players for us in the past,” Troy coach Michelle Owen said. “We lost some experience from that group, but we’re going to be pretty solid this year.”

The Trojans lost GWOC North and District 9 Player of the Year Jenna Selby to graduation, as well as Mackenzie and Cassie Rice — both first

team All-North selections — and second team All-North pick Jen Monnier. But with the talent and experience they do have coming back, the Trojans are looking not only to repeat as GWOC North champs, but also as GWOC Tournament champs.

“We want to win the GWOC Tournament again,” Owen said. The Trojans won it for the first time last season.

“But it’s definitely not going to be an easy task. Our next two weeks are jammed with tough competition, though, and that will tell us where we’re at right now.”

CASSTOWN — Tempering expectations is not something the Vikings are used to doing.

Even after two straight Division III state volleyball championships.

“The goals and expectations have not changed, which is somewhat reflected in the team’s them this year — ‘Repeat success,’” Miami East coach John Cash said.

“Some will assume this means win another state championship, but that is only part of

the meaning.”

After the graduation of the winningest senior class in the school’s history — Abby Cash, Leah Dunivan and Allie Millhouse — some might say that a three-peat is out of reach. “Some” does not include the Viking players.

“Oh, no. That expectation (winning another state title) is not something they’re trying to shake,” Cash said.

“They want it. They just know they’ll have to take a different path to get there. Figuring out the things they need to • See SUCCESS on page 17

playing without senior libero and captain Abby Brinkman, who was injured at the end of summer. She will be missing for the first week of the season, and possibly a few more.

Leading the team will be another senior captain in outside hitter Emily Moser. She will be joined by two fellow seniors, middle hitter Jillian Ross and outside hitter/defensive specialist Leah Selby.

“Emily and Abby are our captains,” Owen said. “Abby being out is our biggest issue right now. Emily’s leadership has been outstanding for us — and she’s backed it up with her play on the court. She is finding ways to score against some difficult opponents.”

Also back will be outside hitter Ashton Riley, who, like Leah Selby, struggled with injuries last season.

“Having Ashton and Leah both back and healthy after battling through injuries all last year is helping,” Owen said.

After a breakout season as a freshman last year, sophomore Lauren Freed brings her athleticism, quickness and ability to do practically anything and everything on the floor back, with some additions, as well.

“Lauren had a phenomenal club season, she got stronger and she grew a bit,” Owen said. “She will be our rock this year. With her and Emily on the outside, we’ll be pretty solid.”

Setting up things will be junior Leslie Wynkoop.

“Leslie dressed for us some last year and played some,” Owen said. “She was a solid setter for the JV team last year, so she’s stepped into this role naturally.”

Freshman Kate Demao will also be a middle hitter, and juniors Maddie Kleptz — who is serving as the libero with Brinkman hurt — and Brittney Sullivan will step up to varsity also.

“Maddie and Brittney were both on (coach) Jeff (Owen’s) JV team that was 20-2 last season,” Owen said. “And Jillian Ross has been teaching Kate, Jenna Selby’s replacement in the middle, what she needs to do. Between those two, we’re going to do a good job picking up what we lost in Jenna.”

After sweeping the GWOC North last season, nothing but a repeat championship will do for the Trojans — but they still have Butler to go through for that.

“Butler is always going to be well-

coached and competitive,” Owen said.

“We look at them as our competition since Piqua graduated a lot and has a new coach. I know what it’s like. When you’ve got that mass exodus of players the year before and step in as a new coach and you’re trying to get things started your way, it’s tough.”

After all, Owen had to do it at Troy — and the Trojans have only grown since.

• Milton-Union Milton-Union will be gunning for the Southwestern Buckeye League crown this season.

And with eight seniors and seven starters returning, they may be the favorite.

“We have as much experience as I have ever had in my tenure, and we will be in contention for the league championship this season,” Milton-Union coach William Ginn said.

All-SWBL setter Christine Heisey will run the offense — a 5-1 this season, a new wrinkle for the team. Middle hitters Kinsey and Katlyn Douglas return, as do outsides Courtney Wion and Brianna Bull. Sophomore Michaela Fullmer and

junior Jessica Albaugh will be opposite hitters, while seniors Cloe Smith, Jessica Shields and Kaitlyn Thompson and junior Kaylee Swartztrauber will all handle defensive duties.

“We have changed to a 5-1 offense this season, and Christine has responded to the challenge,” Ginn said. “She gets to a lot of balls, and if we can get swings on them, we will score. I think our versatility will give our opponents problems. If we can develop defensively, we will be formidable.”

• Tippecanoe After a disappointing 11-12 season, 5-5 in the Central Buckeye Conference, the Tippecanoe Red Devils return a lot of firepower, but what first-year coach Howard Garcia may like most is how the team plays together.

“The team gets along very well. In other words, we have good team chemistry,” Garcia said. “The team’s strength is its strength itself — good serving, ball control and a dynamic attack. We will get better every day due to the diligence and commitment to getting better every day.”

Senior setter Hannah Budding, who was first team All-CBC and third in the league in assists, returns to run a potent offense. Junior outside hitter Halee Printz led the team in kills last year, and senior middle/outside hitter Erin Jans led the team in blocks and was third in kills. Also back is junior libero Emily Layman, who set a singleseason record for digs with 322.

• Bethel With a veteran lineup and some athletic freshmen, the Bethel Bees will look to improve on last season’s 2-20 record.

“This year’s team has five seniors on it, so our strong points will be leadership and ladies with a strong volleyball IQ,” Bethel coach Rob Gatrell said. “I have seen a large improvement in just a few days. We also have some (freshmen) with a great deal of athleticism.

They are working hard in our practices, and I’m happy with everyone’s attitudes and quick response to apply what they are learning.”

Leading the team this season will be a pair of setter/outside hitters in senior Savannah Swisher and junior Brooke Artz. Also returning is junior middle hitter Marieke van Haaren and senior outside hitter/defensive specialist Carolina Lawson.

• Lehman The Lehman Cavaliers look to continue their tradition of excellence after a 21-6 season last year that ended in the Division IV regional semifinal round.

Back to help that happen will be senior setter Ellie Cain and libero Erica Paulus, both All-District selections a year ago. Also back will be juniors Olivia Slagle (middle hitter), Ava Schmitz (defensive specialist), Ellie Sargent (opposite hitter) and Margo Baker (defensive specialist).

“We’re looking forward to another successful season,” Lehman coach Greg Snipes said. “The ladies have worked extremely hard in the offseason, and it has carried over to the preseason.

Each day we see improvement, and it’s because of the intensity they bring to the gym.

“This will be the first year for us being in a league since 2000, so we’re looking forward to the new competition. We hope to be the team to beat in the first year of the league.”

Success n Continued from page 16

do that will lead to success will be the key for them.”

That’s because, without those three players that played such a big role in those titles, roles and responsibilities have shifted quite a bit — even with a large host of returning talent.

A core group of seniors returns to lead the way, including setter/hitter Sam Cash, who was first team All-Ohio last season, and libero/setter/outside hitter Allison Morrett, who was honorable mention All-Ohio. Cash helped run the Vikings’ dual-setter offense with older sister Abby Cash last season, while Morrett will be moving from libero to outside hitter — two of many shakeups in the Vikings’ lineup.

Senior outside hitter Angie Mack, who was also honorable mention AllOhio, also returns, as do senior middle hitter Ashley Current and senior outside/middle hitter Trina Current.

Junior defensive specialist/libero Anna Kiesewetter will be expected to contribute, as will junior outside hitter Kara Nuss, sophomore middle hitter Karson Mahaney and sophomore outside hitter Kati Runner.

“Our biggest opponent this year will be ourselves,” Cash said. “We’ve changed a lot of roles, and we’re asking

girls to do a lot of things they’ve never had to do before. I mean, when you take an all-state libero and make her an outside hitter/setter, take an outside and make them a middle, that’s huge. But it also opens up a lot of different looks and new options that we’ve never had before.

“It will be all about how they deal with new things — because we haven’t had new things in three years. But these girls have a lot of volleyball IQ out there on the court. It’s just a matter of them applying that IQ and getting comfortable with the new roles.”

The Vikings have run the table in the Cross County Conference the past three seasons, having not lost a CCC match since 2009 or even a set since 2010. And they’re looking to continue that this year, but with their toughest schedule in Cash’s five years of coaching the team — including hosting their own invitational tournament with state-caliber teams coming from outside of Ohio, as well as a visit from Bishop Hartley, the only team to defeat Miami East last year — the Vikings are again setting their sights to a big postseason.

“We expect Covington, (Tri-County) North and Arcanum to be decent in the league,” Cash said. “But once

the girls get comfortable, I see bigger and brighter things ahead for us.

Defensively, we’re as tough as we’ve ever been. And offensively, I think

we’re going to surprise some people.

We’ve mixed some things up. Patience and progress will be, as it always is, key to this squad’s success.”

MLB to expand instant replay in 2014 COOPERSTOWN, N.Y. (AP) — Calling it a historic moment, Commissioner Bud Selig said Thursday that Major League Baseball plans to expand its video review process next season, giving managers a tool they’ve never had in an effort to dramatically reduce the number of incorrect calls made in games.

Selig made the announcement after two days of meetings with representatives of the 30 teams. The proposal is to be voted on by the owners in November.

“I’m proud of them,” Selig said of the replay committee.

“It’s worked out remarkably well. It’s historic. There’s no question about it.”

A 75 percent vote by the owners is needed for approval and the players’ association and umpires would have to agree to any changes to the current system.

MLB vice president Joe Torre gave the replay presentation to representatives from all 30 teams on Wednesday and it was discussed Thursday morning.

Atlanta Braves President John Schuerholz, a member of the replay committee along with Torre and former manager Tony La Russa, said the umpires were receptive to the change. Schuerholz said 89 percent of incorrect calls made in the past will be reviewable, but he did not provide a list.

Umpires have come under increased scrutiny following several missed calls this season.

“We believe this will be very impactful and very, very meaningful and useful for all sides,” Schuerholz said.

“Managers will have a new tool that they’ll have to learn how to use.”

Managers will be allowed one challenge over the first six innings of a game and two from the seventh inning

until the completion of the game. Calls that are challenged will be reviewed by a crew in MLB headquarters in New York City, which will make a final ruling.

A manager who sees a call he feels is incorrect can file a challenge with the crew chief or home plate umpire. Only reviewable plays can be challenged. Non-reviewable plays can still be argued by managers, who can request that the umpires discuss it to see if another member of the crew saw the play differently. Reviewable plays cannot be argued by the manager.

Challenges not used in the first six innings will not carry over, and a manager who wins a challenge will retain it.

The home run replay rules currently in use will be grandfathered in to the new system, Schuerholz said.

MLB expects to use the new system in the 2014 playoffs, and the system could be enhanced in the postseason.

Training sessions for umpires will start in the Arizona Fall League this winter and continue into spring training.

“We know we have to prepare people for this,” Schuerholz said. “Everyone is embracing it. We believe managers will in time.”

Schuerholz said after the first year MLB will look at what worked and what didn’t and make adjustments for 2015. “It’s going to take some time,” he said.

One of Selig’s major concerns was the possible slowing of games. Schuerholz said with a direct line of communication between the central office and the ballparks the expectation is that replays under the new system will take 1 minute, 15 seconds. Current replays average just over 3 minutes.

“We want to prevent stalling,” Schuerholz said. “If it’s a

reviewable play, he (the manager) has to tell the umpires he’s going to review it.”

In other matters, Selig said baseball’s investigation of Biogenesis, the now-closed Florida anti-aging clinic accused of distributing banned performance-enhancing drugs, has been completed.

Alex Rodriguez was suspended through 2014 and AllStars Nelson Cruz, Jhonny Peralta and Everth Cabrera were banned 50 games apiece on Aug. 5 when Major League Baseball disciplined 13 players for their relationship to Biogenesis. Rodriguez has appealed his suspension.

Selig also called the Tampa Bay Rays stadium situation “very, very discouraging.”

“Baseball needs a resolution to this problem,” Selig said with Stuart Sternberg, principal owner of the Rays, in the room listening. “I find it a very, very troubling situation.

We were optimistic this was moving in a very positive direction. Unfortunately, it’s stalled.”

Selig said the situation was serious enough that he was giving “very strong consideration to assigning someone from MLB to intervene in this process, find out exactly what the hell is going on.”

“They’ve been a model organization, extraordinarily capable,” Selig said. “They’ve done everything in their power to make their ballpark situation work. Years have ticked by now with no tangible progress.”

The team is obligated to play at outdated Tropicana Field through 2027 and is averaging just over 13,000 fans a game this season. The low attendance figures have led to the Rays receiving millions of dollars in revenue sharing.

Girl challenges ban from Trojans Ohio school football team

n Continued from page 16

BALTIMORE, Ohio (AP) — An Ohio school district is refusing to let a seventh-grade girl play football, prompting requests that the board change its policies on female athletes.

Makhaela Jenkins has played youth football around Baltimore, southeast of Columbus, but isn’t allowed on the active roster for her school team because the district doesn’t allow girls to participate in games and contact drills.

Liberty Union-Thurston District superintendent Paul Mathews said the longstanding policy doesn’t violate any genderrelated regulations, because the district offers girls other, noncontact athletic options.

“We are not violating Title IX,” Mathews told WTTE-TV in Columbus, referring to the federal law that bans gender discrimination in federally funded school programs, including sports. “We have opportunities for girls, but those opportunities do not include contact sports.”

He said it’s the district’s choice to set which school sports are available to girls.

“We think we have plenty of places for everyone to fit in, but it is simply a choice,” Mathews said.

The Ohio chapter of the

American Civil Liberties Union in a letter to Matthews on Thursday said the district’s decision is “unacceptable and unlawful.” The organization added that the district cannot say it has a “legitimate basis” for denying female students from participating on the football team.

Makhaela said gender shouldn’t be a barrier to participation in school sports.

“Some people have different goals and dreams they want to follow, and if they want to play a sport, (they) should be able to play a sport no matter what gender you are,” she told WTTE. She and her relatives contend she practiced, lifted weights and earned the right to play. And she still wants to do so.

“It sets me apart from everybody else, and it lets other people know it’s OK to be different and you don’t have to follow what everybody else does,” she said.

The 12-year-old previously played in a football league not affiliated with a school district, WCPO-TV in Cincinnati reported.

“Springfield has a good first doubles team, and that match was close,” Goldner said. “Maggie and Shelby both came back after losing at Centerville and played really well today, and Hannah struggled after winning the other day.

Ups and downs.”

Troy (0-2) hosts Lebanon Tuesday.

Oakwood 5, Milton-Union 0 WEST MILTON — The MiltonUnion Bulldogs knew what they were up against before Thursday’s match began, and even after a tough fight at a couple of positions, Oakwood was able to post a 5-0 victory.

At first singles, Milton-Union’s Brooke Falb lost to Megan Connelly 6-4, 6-2.

And at third singles, Claire Fetters lost to Melissa Frydman 6-4, 6-3.

“Brooke had a tough match against Connelly,” Milton-Union coach Sharon Paul said. “It was actually closer than the score would indicate. There were a lot of deuce games and long points.

In the spotlight COLUMBUS (AP) — Braxton Miller didn’t make any headlines during the offseason, at least not for anything he did off the field.

The Ohio State quarterback has been under a microscope for the past two years, ever since he first took over as the Buckeyes’ starting quarterback.

About the last thing he wants to do is be a focal point for what he does on his own time.

“Oh, no. I try to stay out of all that stuff. I’m good on that,” he says, when asked if he learned anything from all the travails Heisman winner Johnny Manziel went through in his private life this past offseason.

Miller is a celebrity, make no mistake about that. He’s downright famous around Ohio. But he has no intention of letting that change who he is.

“I’ll just be the same guy I am right now, humble and talking to you guys,” he said, an average 20-year-old kid surrounded by maybe 100 reporters and photographers hanging on his every word. “When I leave here, I’m just like a regular person. I’ll just keep it level-headed and go about my business when I go on the field. When I leave the field, I’m just this … guy.”

The junior says he doesn’t mind all the attention, even though almost everyone would classify him as soft-spoken bordering on shy. At the very least, he’s grown used to being sought out by fans and media. It comes with putting up these numbers: 1,271 yards rushing, 2,039 passing and 28 total touchdowns.

His teammates notice the change in him.

“That’s a really cool thing to see out of a guy that’s a superstar talent,” offensive lineman Jack Mewhort said. “I tell people all the time, his best quality is his humility.

He’s not one of those guys who’ll be in the headlines.

That’s really a cool thing as a quarterback, especially a guy of his caliber.”

Now, with Ohio State on the cusp of what could be a memorable season, the junior is trying hard to be a more forceful leader.

He may never be the guy who gets in a teammate’s grill and chews him out, but there’s no reason why he can’t get other players to produce just because he plays so hard and wants to win so badly.

It’s been a bit of a struggle to get Miller to be more assertive but he’s making progress.

“He’s never been a bad guy, he’s always been a great guy,” coach Urban Meyer said. “But now he’s got a little confidence to him. I call (quarterback) the most unique position in sport, where you’re allowed to be a little introverted but you have to be able to lead. I don’t want to give him an A yet, but he’s pushing A work.”

Miller’s position coach, Tom Herman, has worked hard to try to help bring out Miller’s personality.

“I think he was and still is and will continue to be a tough nut to crack,” Herman said. “He’s very guarded, as has been well documented. He’s a very introverted person. That’s not bad; none of that is bad. But it lends itself to a much tougher job for a guy like me to come in and say, ‘Hey, since high school I’m your fourth offensive coordinator in four years or whatever the case may be and, oh by the way, you’ve got to trust me 100 percent.’

“It takes time. Trust is earned, it’s not just given.”

There is no question that his teammates respect Miller. They see how he applies himself, the extra time he puts in, how much he cares.

“He’s more mature, he’s more of a leader, he’s more vocal,” running back Jordan Hall said. “He was one of our hardest workers in the offseason, too.”

Miller is considered one a handful of top candidates for the Heisman Trophy.

It wasn’t so long ago that the Ohio State signalcaller might have dreaded facing the prospect of the interminable national spotlight that comes with a Heisman campaign.

Now, he may not welcome it, but at least he’s at ease. He trusts others to make it as effortless for him as possible.

“Coach Meyer does a good job about that (Heisman talk),” Miller said. “He always tells us how good we are, how bad we did this day and blah blah blah.

“We have to keep the momentum how it was last year, just keep that going. All the things that are going on outside of the (practice facility), you can’t pay any attention to that stuff.”

“Claire has not played many singles matches for us — she has been primarily a doubles player. I think if she had had a few more singles matches under her belt, we could have seen a different result.”

At second singles, Jesica Ferguson lost to Annika Aebker 6-0, 6-1. At first doubles, Sarah Black and Lizzie Fetters lost to Shannon Greer and Mackenzie Lahman 6-1, 6-0. At second doubles, Maggie Gosslin and Ashley Wombold lost to Cloe Gump and Sarah Haluschak 6-1, 6-1.

“Overall, Oakwood was just deeper than we are, but there are a lot of teams that will not have the depth of Oakwood,” Paul said. “As always, they are one of the stronger teams in the area.”
