New owner for Knapke building?

Rose requests city loan for local landmark

BY RON OSBURN Staff Writer rosburn@tdnpublishing.com

TROY

Downtown business owner Patty Rose and husband and business partner Chuck Sturwold may be adding the former Knapke Cabinets building on the Square to their growing portfolio of local properties.

The city of Troy Downtown Loan Committee on Thursday gave its unanimous recommendation to a Downtown Building Repair loan

request from Rose and Sturwold, under the moniker P&C Ventures LLC, to purchase the building, which consists of two storefronts at 2 and 6 E. Main St., and a second floor residential apartment which currently is vacant.

After three years, Knapke Cabinets abruptly closed its downtown Troy store on Aug. 29, and the building recently went on the market.

The committee recommended approval of a DBR loan of $151,700 at 2 percent interest for 25 years, yielding a monthly estimated repayment amount of $643. The loan includes 3 points for closing costs and covers $147,281 of the total purchase price of $155,000 for the building.

P&C has pledged first position on the building’s mortgage as collateral. The building has an appraised value of $200,000, according to the county auditor’s office.

Normal terms for DBR loans are 10 years,

Steer clear of danger Miami East FFA students promote good safety habits on the farm

BY MELANIE YINGST Staff Writer myingst@tdnpublishing.com

Obama stops in Cincinnati Employing in-your-face politics, President Barack Obama sold his jobs plan Thursday from the turf of the top Republicans on Capitol Hill, combatively calling them out by name to demand action.

Obama stood in front of an aging bridge that links House Speaker John Boehner’s home state of Ohio with Kentucky, home to Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, to call for passage of his $447 billion package in tax cuts, jobless aid and public works projects. See Page 5.

A wagon full of corn, soybeans or wheat may look like an alternative to a sand box to play in, but Miami East High School’s FFA program demonstrated how deadly bushels of grain can be Thursday.

“You actually can drown in a little as five seconds,” explained Ryan Miller, a senior in the FFA program.

Students in the Agribusiness 1 and 2 classes hosted the elementary students for a day of stressing the importance of following good safety on the farm. The event was held in conjunction with National Farm Safety and Health Week.

Miller and his fellow FFA members taught Miami East Elementary School’s second grade class the dangers of stored grain at the grain safety station. Miller shared that in less than five seconds a child playing in a hopper wagon, used to move grain, will be swallowed by the corn or soybeans and will be unable to call for help or be removed from the hopper wagon.

“It doesn’t take long for something bad to happen,” Miller said.

The FFA members then followed their demonstrations by having the young students try to remove a wooden disc at the bottom of a rope in a barrel full of 100 pounds of corn. Students were unable to remove the disc.

This stressed the fact that the weight of the corn makes it virtually impossible to rescue a person in a wagon or silo that is full of grain.

“They don’t really know how dangerous this is,” Miller said.

Women of Excellence announced Staff Report The YWCA Piqua has announced the selection of the Woman of Excellence and Young Woman of Tomorrow honorees for the year 2011. The Woman of Excellence Honorees are Ginny Beamish of Troy and Tara DixonEngel of Dayton. The Young Woman of Tomorrow honoree is Amy Marie Young of West Milton.

University. Young, an honor student, athlete, 4-H member and volunteer said that volunteering is the best way to say “thank you” to the people who helped give her all of the opportunities she’s had.

Nikki Herbert, Academic Advisor and Coordinator of Undergraduate Recruitment and Early Admissions Pathway Coordinator at The Ohio State University and nominator of Young, said, “Amy is hard working, dedicated, studious and enthusiastic which is clearly demonstrated by her strong academic record, variety of work, scholastic and extracurricular activities. She has shown dedication to exploring her future profession and a passion for helping others and giving back to The Ohio State community.”

Volunteering for Young has included work in a clinic for oncology patients at the Arthur James Cancer Hospital, spending her spring break building Habitat for Humanity homes in Miami, Florida, and participating in student campus tours for prospective students, involvement in pharmacy organizations and participating in running clubs which included a 5K run to raise money for burn victims. In high school, she played volleyball and was active in Rotary Interact, Science Olympiad, Quiz Team and National Honor Society. She also has been a longtime 4-H member.

She is the daughter of Kurt and Gail Young and grew up with her sister, Kaylynn, on a 60-acre grain and livestock farm in West Milton.

Honors classes in high school along with the Post Secondary Enrollment Option Program at Edison Community College taught her to use her time well. “The secret to getting multiple tasks done is to find a balance,” she said. Young encourages other young people to find something they are passionate about and become involved. “Times are tough, the economy is not so great and budgets are getting cut. People cannot really give so much in the money aspect of things, so now is the time more than ever for volunteerism and service to community. If you can’t give a dollar, give an hour of your time and help out — a great message for our youth,” she added For more information about the Women of Excellence Awards Luncheon, planned for Oct. 20, or to reserve a ticket, stop at the YWCA Piqua at 418 N. Wayne St. or call 773-6626. Seating for the event is limited.

(WWW.TROYDAILYNEWS.COM)

Question: Do you feel America is safe from another terrorist attack?

Watch for final poll results in Sunday’s Miami Valley Sunday News.

Watch for a new poll question in Sunday’s Miami Valley Sunday News.

PERSPECTIVE

“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”

— First Amendment, U.S. Constitution

EDITORIAL ROUNDUP The Gazette, Cedar Rapids, Iowa, on deficit-reduction transparency: With much at stake, the bipartisan congressional deficitreduction committee charged with finding at least $1.2 trillion more in budget savings by November should be operating in the open. It’s not.

Dave Loebsack, Iowa’s 2nd District congressman, wants to change that scenario. He rightly recognizes the intense lobbying the 12 lawmakers are getting from many organizations and industries.

So he’s introduced legislation that would require committee members to disclose all campaign contributions greater than $500 and all meetings with lobbyists within 48 hours of the donation or meeting. Otherwise, the donations wouldn’t have to be disclosed until Jan. 31.

And meetings with lobbyists never have to be disclosed — as, sadly, is Congress’s general practice.

Loebsack also wants all committee meetings to be televised and streamed live on a congresAs I sional website.

In an eerie coincidence, the plane landed at 10:29 p.m., virtually the same time Flight 3407 crashed in Clarence Center.

An investigation will determine whether pilot fatigue or lack of training contributed to the Louisiana incident.

The Federal Aviation Administration said Colgan allowed flight attendants to work on 172 flights in early November 2009 without the proper safety training.

It’s obvious that the sweeping safety rules proposed in the wake of Flight 3407 are necessary to better ensure the safety of the flying public.

It is difficult to stomach the thought that dozens of high-paid lobbyists are attempting to weaken or kill those aviation safety rules.

At least 44 airline industry lobbyists have met with Obama administration officials in recent months, according to a story by News Washington Bureau Chief Jerry Zremski. In response, the families of Continental Flight 3407 have met with Cabinet-level officials and written a letter to the president.

Let’s hope their message gets through.

Thank you for your support To the Editor: I would like to take this time to thank the nice mom who stopped to help me when my car wouldn’t start in the Kroger parking lot in Troy recently.

This man had two small

children and a cart full of groceries to deal with. But after he put his children safely into his own vehicle, he was kind enough to take the time to help a lady whose car wouldn’t start. When he determined he could not get my car to start, he stayed with me until a tow truck came. As it was very dark out at the time, I thank him for staying with me and

giving me peace of mind.

The world needs more people like this Good Samaritan. I hope all of my sons would do the same thing if they saw a woman in a similar situation.

Again … thank you, kind sir, for your time and generosity!

I’m going to miss the city more than I realized If you had asked me a decade ago if I was going to live in Ohio for the rest of my life, the response you would have witnessed would have gone a little something like this: “Pssssssssssshaw. Me? Here?

Really?”

Sure, sometimes I use the phrase “Thank God I don’t live _____.” Like “Thank God I’m not living somewhere like Camden, N.J. or The Villages, Fla.” I’ll stay right here thank you.

To be honest, I guess the only other place I could have felt at home in this world would have been on the East Coast somewhere. But I always feel that way after watching too many Nicholas Sparks movies — most recently, the 1,000th time I’ve watched “The Notebook.” I now want own a piece of North Carolina coastal real estate.

But I’ll settle for cornfields and a creek bed with a pigeon nest in my barn. Plus, Ryan Gosling won’t return my phone calls — but New York City Police Department at least wrote me back stating I must remain 100 yards away, so no wonder he hasn’t returned my phone calls.

I’m really going to miss living here in Troy. Now, I’m actually going to have to plan out my “trip to town.” But my girlfriend Triplet promised to give me a

Melanie Yingst Troy Daily News Columnist tour of St. Paris and tell me what not to buy at the IGA. I’m excited, to tell you the truth.

But I never really appreciated what all Troy has to offer until my sister came to town last weekend.

My twin sister helped me pack, purge and sort all the “worldly goods” I’ve acquired in my one-bedroom apartment over the last three years. We slaved away moving boxes and her hiding things from me that I’ll never be able to find.

We had the doors wide open, listening to the Troy football game taking place at Memorial Stadium.

“Awe, aren’t you going to miss the football games and stuff?

That so neat,” Sissy said as she tossed out my collection of wine bottles that lined my kitchen cabinets — a poor girl’s decoration tip.

I am going to miss it. Heck,

— Sarah Thomas Troy

the town’s mayor is the football game announcer! Does it get anymore Midwest hometown than that, folks?

Later that night, I treated her to dinner at the local sports bar.

Fong and I challenged her to trivia. She won a few, I won a few — Fong lost a lot. Beating a genius is always a good time.

I treated Sissy to the Taste of Troy downtown on a beautiful Saturday afternoon. While I worked, she and Mr. Obvious sampled all the wonderful local restaurants and enjoyed all the bands playing in the background.

A life-time resident of Troy, Mr. Obvious had never been to the Taste of Troy, but there were crab cakes involved, so he was all for it.

“I wish we had stuff like this at Avon Lake,” Sissy said — this coming from someone who lives two blocks from Lake Erie.

Later on Saturday evening, my girlfriends and I took in the Kellie Pickler and Kip Moore concert. We enjoyed drinks and conversation on my front porch for the final time, toasting our friendship and a night out.

The best part of going to concerts at Hobart Arena is getting carded to buy beer. Nothing makes me feel young again more than being asked for my ID — and the professional staff did

that a lot. Thank you guys! The other great thing about Hobart Arena’s concerts is getting up close and personal with the performers. Kip Moore, a rising country music star, even posed for a picture with us. And then we annoyed everyone from row six to the back as we stood and cheered and even cried (it was a sad song) when Miss Pickler performed. Concerts at Hobart are now our girls night out. Heck, poor Mr. Obvious wanted to go to Luke Bryan, but Triplet trumped him and told him no, just us girls. There’s nine of us going next month — you’ve all been warned.

So next time you hear someone grumble how they hate this town, this state, defend us! The key is participate when the opportunities present themselves. Go to that cheesy Christmas Tree lighting, go to the festivals and fight the crowds and go to these great concerts and, if you have to, make yourself get out and have a great time!

And as long as you aren’t Ryan Gosling, come up and say hello because I’ll be out there having fun too!

“Twin” Melanie Yingst appears on Fridays in the Troy Daily News. She cheats at trivia.

OBITUARIES

DOROTHY ANN BURNHAM

Obama stops in Cincinnati Challenges Boehner, McConnell on home turf CINCINNATI (AP) — Employing in-your-face politics, President Barack Obama sold his jobs plan Thursday from the turf of the top Republicans on Capitol Hill, combatively calling them out by name to demand action.

Obama stood in front of an aging bridge that links House Speaker John Boehner’s home state of Ohio with Kentucky, home to Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, to call for passage of his $447 billion package in tax cuts, jobless aid and public works projects.

“Mr. Boehner, Mr. McConnell, help us rebuild this bridge,” Obama said. “Help us rebuild America. Help us put this country back to work. Pass this jobs bill right away.”

It amounted to one of Obama’s most direct and defiant challenges to leaders of the opposition party.

And the incursion into the Republicans’ territory illustrated a new White House aggression and a desire by the president’s advisers to distinguish him from Republicans and to get them to share some of the blame for the struggling economy.

It also was a shift from the president’s outreach to Boehner this summer, when the two men tried to

work out a deal that would extend the nation’s borrowing authority and cut long-term deficits as well.

Then, the president took Boehner golfing. Now, he’s taking him to task.

“Part of the reason I came here is because Mr. Boehner and Mr. McConnell are the two powerful most Republicans in government,” Obama said. “They can either kill this jobs bill, or they can help us pass it.”

Obama said his legislation would put construction workers back to work around the country on projects like the Brent Spence Bridge, but the White House gladly conceded that the choice of the aging span south of Cincinnati was symbolic.

The bridge is scheduled to be repaired anyway starting in 2015, although White House press secretary Jay Carney said the president’s job bill could speed up that timeline.

The trip also raises Obama’s profile in politically important Ohio, a state that he won in 2008 but that George W. Bush also won twice. It was his second trip to the state in two weeks.

McConnell and Boehner, both of whom have supported the bridge project, dismissed the visit

as a political ploy.

“I would suggest, Mr. President, that you think about ways to actually help the people of Kentucky and Ohio, instead of how you can use their roads and bridges as a backdrop for making a political point,” McConnell said on the Senate floor Thursday morning. “If you really want to help our state, then come back to Washington and work with Republicans on legislation that will actually do something to revive our economy and create jobs.

And forget the political theater.”

Said Boehner: “I am pleased the president is bringing attention to this much-needed project. But you know now is not the time for the president to go into campaign mode.”

Both McConnell and Boehner oppose Obama’s plans to pay for his jobs measures with new taxes, and his jobs package faces a tough fight on Capitol Hill, despite the aggressive campaign he’s embarked on to sell it.

In the very short term, Obama’s visit was making traffic on the overloaded 1963 bridge worse, not better. Ohio and Kentucky transportation officials warned motorists to expect long delays around the time of the president’s

appearance Thursday afternoon because of lane closures and a ramp shutdown. Boehner joked that stopping bridge traffic won’t win any votes.

The trip illustrated the various ways a president can use the power of his office and the megaphone it provides to push for his initiatives and score political points. Presidents often use their travel to get beyond the Washington debate and try to build support with the public. Though it’s not common for presidents to brazenly challenge opposition leaders in their backyards, Obama has shown no qualms about venturing into Republican territory. His first speech after announcing his jobs bill this month was in Richmond, in the congressional district of House Republican Leader Eric Cantor.

Last year, Obama traveled to Ohio just days after Boehner delivered a speech on the economy in Cleveland for his policy proposals.

Presidents also often take local politicians with them on Air Force One when they travel. In this case, both Boehner and McConnell declined a White House invitation to attend Thursday’s event, because Congress is in session.

Covington cracks down on tax issues

BY TOM MILLHOUSE Ohio Community Media editorial@tdnpublishing.com People who have failed to file an income tax return or haven’t paid the taxes they owe were served notice Monday night by Covington Village Council that the village will be taking legal action against them if the situation is not rectified.

During the work session portion of the meeting, council members reviewed income tax issues with Elaine Christian, village income tax administrator. Christian brought to council’s attention that the village has an ongoing problem of people who have failed to file returns.

“I have one person who hasn’t filed for the last 10 years,” Christian said, noting she sends letters to those who fail to comply with the village’s requirement that a return be filed, regardless of whether tax is owed.

Christian asked council for direction on how to handle the problem.

After much discussion, it was agreed that Christian should send up to two letters to those who haven’t filed returns and if that doesn’t work, village Solicitor Frank Patrizio will send a letter informing the offenders that they will be assessed a $100 fine for noncompliance and that legal action will be taken.

COVINGTON The fine for not filing had been $25, but council members agreed that a $100 fine would be a more effective reminder that the returns must be filed.

Mayor Ed McCord said there would be exceptions to taking legal action, such as if the person who had not failed was elderly or in the case of someone who just moved into town and wasn’t aware of the requirement. Council agreed and designated McCord as the person who would review the situations.

Council member Marc Basye suggested the letters requiring compliance with the village income tax ordinance be sent by certified mail to make sure the notice is served.

However, Police Chief Lee Harmon said that sending certified letters would be expensive and suggested that instead village police officers make personal service of the letters to offenders.

“That’s a good cost-saving idea,” McCord said, with Basye and other council members in agreement.

The three-letter policy also will pertain to cases where income taxes owed the village are not being paid, with two being sent by Christian and one by Patrizio with the warning that the delinquent taxpayers will

MIAMI COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE Information provided by the Miami County Sheriff’s Office: Sept. 19 Going back to the ‘Darke’: Darke County Sheriff ’s Office requested a check of the home of Justin Crabtree at 2 Julie Court, Covington. Darke County officials had an active warrant for his arrest.

Miami County Sheriff ’s officers found Crabtree driving in town shortly after checking his residence.

Crabtree had his young son with him at the time of his arrest. The grandparents of the child picked the

young child up at the scene and Crabtree was arrested with no incident.

Jewelry Swiped: A homeowner located in the 3600 block of NealPearson Road returned home to find someone broke a window and entered the home while they were gone. More than $5,000 in jewelry was stolen. Evidence was collected at the scene.

Guns, cash and Civil War sword stolen: The homeowner located in the 9300 block of PantherCreek Road, Newton Twp., came

be taken to court.

Christian said she has been sending letters, generally without success. “I have been sending out letters every month,” she said, noting there about 150 people who owe taxes to the village.

“There are a number of folks who have owed us for years,” McCord said.

In other business council: • Approved routes for Friday night’s Covington High School Homecoming Parade and the Oct. 1 Fort Rowdy Gathering Parade. Also approved was a request to use the park on Oct. 22 for a Halloween costume contest.

• Delayed a review of the village salary ordinance until the Nov. 21 work session.

• Approved a $250 contribution to the Covington Chamber of Commerce for the Candlelight Christmas open house the weekends of Nov. 11-12 and 18-19. The contribution is the same as council approved last year.

• On emergency basis, approved an ordinance regulating the curb/tree lawn on village streets.

Stipulations in the ordinance include that trees planted in that area must be on the list of approved species and that a concrete pad adjacent to lot be no more than four feet in length.

AP MOVIE REVIEWS KILLER ELITE: Head butts would seem to hurt, right?

That’s clearly the point of them, but it would seem to be just as painful to be the butt-er as the butt-ee. This is probably the most primal method of attack on display here, but even the noisy intensity and frequency of the skull bashings — and pistol whippings and gut punches — don’t register as anything beyond generic action-picture violence. The fact that director and co-writer Gary McKendry has shot all these brawls with the usual shaky cam and cut them in quick, choppy fashion only adds to how forgettable the film is. And you’d think that any movie starring Robert De Niro, Clive Owen and Jason Statham would be one you’d want to remember. “Killer Elite” allows them to show off some of the presence and personality that made these men major movie stars, but ultimately they’re just cogs in a cliched revenge tale. Statham stars as Danny, the typical special-ops, killing-machine-for-hire Statham tends to play. He wants to retire, but gets drawn back in for that tried-and-true One Last Job when his mentor (De Niro) is kidnapped by an Omani sheik. Danny has to kill the men who killed the sheik’s sons to ensure his release. Owen plays the enforcer for a shadowy British society who’s on Danny’s tail. R for strong violence, language and some sexuality/nudity. 116 minutes.

Two stars out of four. — Christy Lemire, AP Movie Critic MACHINE GUN PREACHER: Gerard Butler gives it his all as the title character in this drama based on the true story of biker-turned-humanitarian Sam Childers. It’s a performance that’s gruff and defiant, volatile and raging, and even tender at times — the kind of role Mel Gibson might have played 20 years ago. Childers lived a life of drugs and crime until he found Jesus, then traveled to Sudan to build an orphanage for the youngest victims of the ravaged African nation’s civil war. But even though director Marc Forster’s film is rooted in actual events, it’s hard to shake the uncomfortable sensation of watching yet another story that glorifies the white savior.

Aside from Souleymane Sy Savane as the rebel soldier who serves as Sam’s friend and guide, the black characters who prompt Sam to sacrifice everything and put himself in danger feel more like ideas than fleshed-out humans. Forster clearly means well in bringing such an inspiring story to the screen, and he does depict this place vividly — both its natural beauty and its brutality.

But he makes some awkward tonal shifts between the violence in Africa and the increasing instability at home in rural Pennsylvania, where his ex-stripper wife (Michelle Monaghan) and their daughter (Madeline Carroll) are waiting for him. Michael Shannon offers some intriguing moments, as always, as Sam’s former running buddy, but ultimately doesn’t get enough to do. R for violent content including disturbing images, language, some drug use and a scene of sexuality. 123 minutes.

Two stars out of four. — Christy Lemire, AP Movie Critic MONEYBALL: You don’t have to know about VORP to enjoy the story of how a bunch of stat geeks changed the way baseball teams assess and acquire players.

Sure, it helps if you’re a fan of the sport and if you’ve read Michael Lewis’ breezy and engaging best-seller “Moneyball: The Art of Winning an Unfair Game.”

Sabermetrics — the process of applying statistical formulas, rather than on-field appearance and general makeup, to determine a player’s worth — wouldn’t seem like an inherently cinematic topic. But Lewis made lesser-known guys like Scott Hatteberg and Chad Bradford leap off the page. And the cajoling patter from Billy Beane, the Oakland A’s general manager who pioneered this experimental philosophy, would seem tailor-made for screenwriter Aaron Sorkin, who co-wrote the script along with fellow veteran scribe Steven Zaillian. Still, what’s most pleasing about Bennett Miller’s film doesn’t really have to do with baseball. As Beane, Brad Pitt is at his charismatic best — a little weary, a little weathered, but that complexity only makes him more appealing. Jonah Hill is at his best here, too, as Beane’s sidekick: the perfect foil for such a force of nature. He and Pitt bounce off each other beautifully. But what’s wrong here has nothing to do with baseball, either. “Moneyball” never feels like it’s building toward anything, even if you know how the A’s 2002 season unfolded. PG-13 for some strong language.

126 minutes. Three stars out of four. — Christy Lemire, AP Movie Critic

PEARL JAM TWENTY: In Cameron Crowe’s fanfriendly retrospective documentary of the band, the longhaired glory of the early 1990s’ Seattle rock scene is in full display. There are certainly more astute observations to make about the film and the band, but nevertheless: my, the hair. There’s a lot of nostalgia for the era going around, and “Pearl Jam Twenty” (which is being released in theaters but will air on PBS in October) comes at the same time as the 20th-anniversary feting of “Nevermind,” the opus from Seattle’s other ’90s legend, Nirvana.

Whereas Nirvana’s story is brief and tragic, Pearl Jam’s is long and largely heartwarming. Crowe has a history with the band, having been a music journalist (an occupation he chronicled in his “Almost Famous”) and a Seattle resident around the time Pearl Jam formed. His “Singles” (1992) depicted the grunge scene of Seattle and even included a memorable cameo from Pearl Jam. Early in the film, Crowe narrates this personal history, and makes obvious his enthusiasm for the music, as he says, “that came from guys who stayed indoors a lot.” On the whole, though, he recedes from the film, relying on old performance footage, old band interviews and his intimate sit-downs with the band’s members. This is a loving portrait of Pearl Jam, and one with almost no outside voices to contextualize the band’s accomplishment.

Not rated but contains explicit language. 120 minutes.

Three stars out of four. — Jake Coyle, AP Entertainment Writer

Irish singer to stop in Dayton on U.S. tour

BY JOYELL NEVINS Ohio Community Media

DAYTON

This area will soon be getting a taste of Ireland.

But not the Boondock Saints, Flogging Molly, grab-me-a-pint Ireland.

This taste celebrates the beauty and harmony of the land, through a red-haired lass named Orla Fallon.

She is on a concert tour in the U.S., with a stop in Dayton, to celebrate the release of her live concert DVD and CD, My Land.

“These songs are the story of my life,” Fallon said of the concert, “It was truly a labor of love.”

Songs range from the lullaby “Morning has Broken,” which Fallon sung when she was little, to Joni Mitchell’s lilting “Both Sides Now,” to traditional folk songs like “Spanish Lady.” She collaborated with such artists as Damien Dempsey, Tommy Fleming, and the Dublin Gospel Choir to complete the project. The concert itself was taped at the Royal Hospital Kilmainham in Dublin, and the DVD includes film from the famous Irish locations Cliffs of Moher, Slea Head and Portaferry.

Humble beginnings Fallon grew up in a small village in County Wicklow on the southeast coast of Ireland. She lived on a farm with her four siblings among cattle, sheep, ponies, and a pet lamb.

There was always a lot of music in her house. Her family listened to such

groups as the Dubliners (they’re to Irish folk music what the band Alabama is to country), which actually made an appearance with Fallon at the “My Land” concert.

“It was a very innocent, lovely time,” Fallon said of growing up.

Even now, her family is very important to her and encouraging of her music.

“They’re fantastic – really, really supportive,” she said.

Although Fallon originally went to school to study law (she called herself the “singing lawyer”), she found she couldn’t really be creative in that field.

So she followed her passion for music.

Fallon’s opportunity to turn singing into a successful career came when she was invited to be a part of the then-starting group Celtic Woman in 2004.

Fallon performed with the female ensemble for four years, made several albums with them, and traveled all around the world.

“It was a great time, and I met some amazing people,” she said, “I never dreamed it would be so successful.”

Whether performing with the Woman or now on her own, Fallon accompanies much of her vocal stylings with the harp. She first learned to play it in boarding school.

“It’s a mystical, magical instrument,” she said.

PHOTO PROVIDED

Orla Fallon will stop in Dayton to release her CD “My Land.”The concert will be at the Dayton Art Institute at 7:30 p.m. Oct. 2 Fallon’s greatest love, though, is being able to perform on stage.

“It’s a privileged position, and a great honor,” she said, “People tell me my music really moves them.”

Fallon has performed all over the globe, from Japan to Europe to South Africa.

Even though every audience is different, there is a uniting quality among them.

“People always just love the music,” she said, “Music

transcends all boundaries, no matter where you are.”

Especially her signature finale, a rip-rousing Irish traditional folk song titled “I’ll Tell Me Ma.” “The audience goes wild,” she laughed.

Fallon will be at the Dayton Art Institute at 7:30 p.m. Oct. 2. Tickets start at $35.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Try to fix the situation before it is too late Dear Annie: I think my brother-in-law's wife is attracted to my husband, "James." James believes this to be true, as well, but he rather enjoys the attention.

Whenever we are at his brother's house, the wife is always flirting with James, touching him and finding reasons to be near him.

When it's time for us to go, she practically begs him to stay. She also often makes subtle suggestive comments, and this really gets on my nerves.

As an added twist, my husband and I are not sexually active. We've not been intimate in nearly two years. This was a mutual decision.

James is always tired when he gets home from long-distance driving.

I'm on two separate antidepressants that just about kill off any shred of sexual interest. A few times, I've told James that if he is interested in sex, I'd be quite amenable, but he repeatedly tells me he's too tired.

I asked him why he lets her flirt with him, and he says it's fun, but insists he's not interested in having an affair with her or anyone else.

We have been married for 12 years and have no children, so he has all of my attention and plenty of affection.

This flirtation was going on even before she married into the family. I had hoped that after five years and two kids it would end, but it hasn't subsided in the least. I admit I am slightly jealous, but am I completely off base thinking there is something wrong with this? — GreenEyed Dear Green-Eyed: There are a lot of things wrong with this. We don't care how tired your husband is, surely he could work up some interest in sex in two years. The fact that he hasn't is worrisome and, combined with the attention he receives from another woman, puts your relationship at risk. We don't know why James' brother turns a blind eye to his wife's flirtations, but that is his problem. Yours is to find a way to reconnect intimately with your husband. Talk to a counselor, get some books from the library, watch some videos or take a long vacation, but please do something before it's too late.

Dear Annie: Our grandchild is 4 years old. He pushes and slaps his father while laughing and yelling. His dad retaliates, often rolling on the floor with him, all in fun. This "fun" is getting more violent, and we worry that the child will grow up shoving and hitting and having a problematic life. His father laughs at our concerns. What do you think? — Worried in West Hills Dear Worried: A certain amount of roughhousing is OK if neither the child nor the parent is getting hurt, feels anxious or becomes over-stimulated. The father should be aware, however, that the boy is not capable of controlling his enthusiasm and things can get out of hand. We recommend that Mom discuss it with her pediatrician.

Dear Annie: "Happy Senior" said she avoids the person who is "so hard of hearing that conversation is tiresome."

My mother was socially active and popular in her small circle. She joined the Scrabble club and started tap dancing classes, pursuits that she had enjoyed in the past.

But before new friendships could take root, she began to experience hearing problems that became so severe that she was unable to readily interact with people in group situations and withdrew from her outside activities. Despite the latest hearing aid technology, she is still functionally hard of hearing.

Certain considerations can lead to less tiresome encounters: Face the person squarely and engage in one-on-one conversation. A quiet place is likely to be more conducive to conversation. Anyone making the effort to engage my mother in such conversation will find an intelligent, caring and fun-loving human being. — C.

YESTERDAY’S SOLUTION:

HINTS FROM HELOISE

Recycle refrigerator parts before trashing it Dear Heloise: My hint is for recycling parts of an old refrigerator. Before the appliance is hauled away, take out shelves, bins and any part that can be reused. I have a door storage bin that holds spices, and some small food holders from the fridge are being used in a bathroom cupboard. — Sally in Castroville, Texas Sally, your hint is a good one, and it’s a good time to remind my readers about large-appliance storage, safety and removal. If you have a large appliance you are no longer using, you have many options: • The delivery driver for your new appliance should offer to

Hints from Heloise Columnist haul away the old one.

• Sell or donate old appliances for charity.

• Your city should have a bulky-trash pickup day.

The most important caution is to remove doors on the appliance, or seal or padlock them shut! Tragic accidents have happened! — Heloise

A GIFT, NONETHELESS Dear Heloise: A recent letter from Kathy about wedding etiquette (Heloise here: in response to how much money to give as a wedding gift) reminded me of my wedding.

My mother’s cousin was a little eccentric, but he was invited anyway. He put $4 in the envelope! My wife and I laughed hysterically but sent him the same thank-you that everyone else received.

We still get a laugh 30 years later every time we tell the story.

I feel sorry for Kathy’s family that they think money is more important than having all of

the family together for weddings. Nothing is more important than family.

— George, via email SUPER HINT Dear Heloise: When I use fast-drying glue, I use foil on the fingers I have to use to press seams together, etc.

Just wrap foil tightly on the fingers you are using, and the glue does not stick to the foil.

I thought this hint might be helpful to people.

I have not seen it in your column. Keep up the good hints.

HOROSCOPE Friday, Sept. 23, 2011 When you get any bright ideas about how to manage complex problems in the year ahead, discuss them with experienced people before taking action.

When you do, you might surprise yourself and others with the rapid results.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — If you know you don’t have all the facts at hand, don’t try to call the shots. Taking a speculative risk on something or someone can lead to big trouble or a major loss of some kind.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — When that common sense of yours is telling you to disengage yourself from something questionable, don’t ignore it. Remember, your better judgment is based on past experience.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — If you find yourself being disenchanted with the small stuff, it generally means your expectations are a bit too grand for your own good. Focus on quality, not size.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Although your judgment appears to be pretty good in most situations, don’t let that fool you. It could be a completely different story when it comes to money.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Your charm, wit and good looks are all valuable assets, but they will only carry you so far. It will take a whole lot of dedicated effort and experience to achieve success.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — If you build your castle out of sand, it and all your wishes will quickly be swept out to sea by the first adverse wave. Be able to distinguish between what is real and what is make-believe.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) — Keep your own counsel when it comes to your financial affairs, because, although people might mean well, they don’t always know what’s going on behind the scenes.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — If you want to be successful, it will be up to you to direct your own affairs. Do not leave even minor matters to chance, because the slightest occurrence can throw things off course.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — Someone who is overwhelmed might need your help, but do only what she or he wants and no more. You could unwittingly upset something the person already has going if you overstep your bounds.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) — Upsetting information that you get from someone you don’t know all that well shouldn’t be taken too seriously without first checking things out. This is especially so if money is involved.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Certain advice you offer a friend will be sound and helpful, yet when it comes to your own affairs you might ignore the same good common sense. Unfortunately, it’ll be your loss.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Make sure your judgment calls are all based on reality and not on wishful thinking. If you allow nonexistent factors to influence you, you’ll quickly come a cropper.

Vikings look to take first step tonight at rival Bethel

BY JOSH BROWN Sports Editor jbrown@tdnpublishing.com

BRANDT

The Miami East Vikings know they can’t get caught watching the scoreboard tonight.

They’ll have their own hands full.

With three teams left in the Cross County Conference with 3-0 league records — and two of them, Tri-County North and Covington, facing each other tonight — the Vikings can take a big step towards completing a championship run with a victory on the road tonight in the first of four brutally tough games in a row.

“Not until after the game, at least. Bethel is a really good team,” Miami East coach Max Current said. “Going into the

season, not a lot of people were saying much about them — but they’ve always been my dark horse.”

Standing in their way, though, is a tough Bethel team that is playing the fourth of its murderer’s row of league games.

The Bees started off CCC play with a narrow win against Bradford, then lost to defending champion Covington by a field goal 17-14. They then couldn’t bounce back from that disappointment, getting routed at Tri-County North last week.

“It’s not easy, not easy at all,” Bethel coach Brad Clendening said of playing the top four teams in the CCC all in consecutive games. “We had a pretty big letdown after that loss to Covington. We’re hoping to get

back to the way we’re capable of playing.”

Bethel took an early lead at Tri-County North last week, but the Panthers scored 34 straight points to hand the Bees their second CCC loss of the season.

“The worst possible thing happened. We scored right away, and I think we got a little overconfident,” Clendening said. “We’ve got to get back to doing the things we know make us a good team.”

“Everyone saw that final and said ‘what happened?’ But I don’t think that’s indicative of how they are,” Current said.

“That was a 14-7 game at the half — and North had scored late in the half to make it that way.

Last year, the same thing happened with us. We lost an overtime barnburner to

WEEK 5 BEN LOGAN (2-2) at TIPPECANOE (4-0): Tippecanoe gets its final Central Buckeye Conference crossover test this week before Kenton Trail Division play begins. Ben Logan is 1-1 against Kenton Trail opponents so far, falling to unbeaten Kenton Ridge and beating Bellefontaine. So far this season, though, it hasn’t mattered who the Red Devils have played — they’ve beaten all comers and sit in seventh in Division II, Region 8 in the first computer rankings. This one may be over at the half.

MILTON-UNION (3-1, 0-0) at MADISON (3-1, 1-0): The computer rankings just came out — and already there’s a game with massive playoff implications. Milton-Union is currently fourth in Division IV, Region 16, and Madison is eighth. Whichever team comes away with the win in this one will earn plenty of points and become an immediate favorite in the Southwestern Buckeye League Buckeye Division. There are plenty of stumbling blocks left, of course, but a win tonight will be a great head start.

TRI-COUNTY NORTH (3-1, 3-0) at COVINGTON (4-0, 3-0): After holding off Bethel two weeks ago and taking down Bradford last week, the Buccaneers have shown that they’re the team to beat in the CCC. Tonight, they get their toughest test to date, though, in 3-0 Tri-County North.

Depending on the outcome of the Miami East-Bethel game, this could very well be the CCC title game. If the Vikings beat the Bees, though, whoever wins here has one more unbeaten team to go through.

TROY CHRISTIAN (0-4, 0-0) at LEHMAN (1-4, 1-0): It may be the Metro Buckeye Conference’s last hoorah, but neither team is focusing on that. The Cavaliers have struggled this season after reaching the state tournament, winning their first game last week against winless Jefferson in their MBC opener.

Lehman now faces its second straight winless team — but the Eagles narrowly missed their first win, falling 21-20 a week ago on a last-minute fourthdown touchdown after they had missed an extra point earlier in the game. Matthew Coots was hurt in the game, but freshman Christian Willis showed that he can play. Whichever quarterback takes the field, Troy Christian will be ready to play.

ANSONIA (3-1, 2-1) at BRADFORD (2-2, 1-2): Ansonia was the CCC’s runner-up last season, but a blowout loss to Miami East exposed them.

Bradford has fallen to defending champ and current leader Covington as well as Bethel, meaning that both teams have something to prove tonight. A one-loss team may have a shot at the title this season, meaning the Tigers still have a shot. Bradford is still looking to prove it belongs in the upper tier of the conference — and a win tonight would be a good start.

FAIRMONT (2-2) at PIQUA (2-2): Last season, it took a field goal with 1:28 remaining to help Piqua recapture the lead and hold off Fairmont. Despite entering the season with higher expectations, the Indians head into Week 5 in the exact same place as last season — holding a 2-2 record and coming off a disappointing seven-point loss to Lebanon. Tonight will decide what kind of team Piqua really is.

good punter and offensively they’ve done very well,” Clendening said. “We’re just hoping we can slow them down.”

“Their nose guard (Gus Schwieterman) is a handful.

He’s a whale of a player for them,” Current said.

“Defensively they’re very aggressive. They come at you.”

Current knows that Bethel is only the first step, though — with games against Covington, Tri-County North and Bradford following.

“We’ve got a meat grinder in the middle of the season,” Current said. “But we’ve got to worry about Bethel. All those old coaching cliches — we’ve got to take one game at a time and not look ahead.”

And keep their eyes on their own scoreboard.

MIAMI COUNTY LEADERS

MIAMI EAST (3-1, 3-0) at BETHEL (2-2, 1-2): All three of the Cross County Conference’s leaders will be put to the test tonight. And while Miami East is matched up against Bethel, a popular preseason pick that now has two conference losses, the Vikings know it won’t be as easy as the past three weeks.

Bethel is at the end of the brutal part of its CCC schedule after games against Bradford, Covington and Tri-County North, while Miami East is just getting started. Don’t expect either team to pay too much attention to Tri-County North-Covington updates, though — the Bees are looking to play spoiler, and the Vikings know that before the BuccsPanthers outcome matters, they need a win tonight.

The Games

Covington and then North beat us.

And with the Vikings coming to town, that may be a little easier.

“It helps. The kids know this is an important game, they know East is a good team and they’ve had battles with these kids throughout their careers from pee-wee on up,” Clendening said. “They know it’s not going to be a cakewalk.

It’s helped us focus a little more this week.

“Hopefully we can get that fire back in us. We lost it a little bit after the loss to Covington.”

The Vikings have averaged 45.3 points in three CCC games while giving up only 4.7 — capped off with a 63-6 victory over Mississinawa Valley last week.

“They’re fast, they have a

May on pace to make history

BY DAVID FONG Executive Editor fong@tdnpublishing.com Four weeks into the season, Troy quarterback Cody May is right on track to make history.

In fact, he’s ahead of the game.

Should May finish this season with more than 1,000-passing yards, he would become the first Troy quarterback since Tommy Myers — who would go on to earn AllAmerica honors at Northwestern and play for the Detroit Lions in the NFL — to throw for 1,000 or more yards in consecutive seasons.

Through four games, May has completed 35 of 61 passes for 514 yards. If he keeps up his current pace, May would finish the season with 1,285 passing yards. Last season, which included one playoff game in addition to the 10 regular season games, May threw for 1,044 yards.

In 1959, Myers threw for 1,963 yards. The following year, Myers threw for

MAY

WILLIAMS

2,009 yards.

“Obviously Cody is doing a great job for us,” Troy coach Steve Nolan said. “But the biggest numbers he cares about are 3-1.

We’re 3-1 right now, and he’s had a lot to do with that. That’s the most important thing.

“It doesn’t matter if you throw for 3,000 yards if you aren’t winning football games. Ultimately, that’s how quarterbacks are — and should be — remembered.”

• BREAKING OUT: Isaiah Williams waited patiently for three weeks for a breakout game on offense.

BLAKELY Last week, the senior halfback finally got his chance.

Williams had his best performance of the year last week against Springboro, catching four passes for 99 yards and a pair of touchdowns, while also carrying the ball four times for 28 yards. His 71yard touchdown catch from May helped break open a close contest as the Trojans, who trailed 14-7 at halftime, rolled to a 41-21 victory.

“Isaiah played his best game of the season,” Nolan said. “He ran well, he caught the ball and most important, he blocked well.

PERDZIOLA

FOSTER

It’s the same as it’s always been here — it doesn’t matter how well you can run or catch if you don’t block. It’s as simple as that — if you don’t block, you don’t play.”

• GIVE ME A BLAKELY: Last season, junior Devin Blakely spent most of the season running the offense as the Troy junior varsity quarterback.

This season, he’s been charged with stopping opposing defenses — and he’s been up to the challenge.

Last week, Blakely — playing safety on Troy’s defense — recorded three tackles and broke up five passes against pass-happy

■ Cover Story

BUTCHER Sprinboro. That performance earned Blakely a starting spot in Troy’s secondary.

“Blakely played an outstanding game,” Nolan said. “We knew last year when he was the quarterback on the JV team that he had oustanding quickness and athleticism — it was just a matter of finding a spot for him on the field this year with Cody coming back at quarterback. We tried him at receiver early in the season, but he seems to have really settled in at that other safety spot for us.”

After much shifting around through the first

few weeks of the season, Troy’s defensive backfield appears to finally have settled with junior Seth Perdziola and senior Seth Lucas at cornerback and Blakely and senior Marcus Foster at safety.

• THE BUTCHER STRIKES AGAIN: Pretty much the only thing keeping Zach “The” Butcher from seeing time at running back this season is his play on defense.

“He can play running back for us — but right now, we need him too much on defense,” Nolan said.

“Last week, Springboro ran 73 plays against us — Butcher pretty much never came off the field on defense. There was no way we could ask him to go both ways and play offense, too.”

In all four games the Trojans have played this season, Butcher has been the team’s leading tackler.

Last week against Springboro, the senior inside linebacker racked up 17 tackles. He now has 55 tackles for the season — an average of 13.8 tackles per game.

Troy can’t afford another slow start

BY DAVID FONG Executive Editor fong@tdnpublishing.com

Troy fullback Zach Jones

After two weeks of walking a fine line between success and disaster, Steve Nolan knows his team’s free passes are over.

One more slow start, said the Troy football coach, and the Trojans will find themselves in a hole they won’t be able to dig out of.

Two weeks ago, Troy led Fairborn just 7-3 at halftime before rolling to a 3511 win. Last week against Springboro, Troy trailed 14-7 at halftime before exploding in the second half for a 41-21 victory.

Tonight against Beavercreek (3-1), Nolan knows his team won’t be quite so lucky if it gets off to another slow start.

“You would have thought we would have learned our lesson against Fairborn — but obviously we didn’t,” Nolan said. “We came out and did pretty much the same thing against Springboro. We PHOTOS COURTESY LEE WOOLERY/SPEEDSHOT PHOTO can’t afford to do the same (30) dives ahead for extra yardage in last week’s win over Springboro. thing against Beavercreek.

Tiny but mighty Undersized fullback comes up big for Troy

BY DAVID FONG Executive Editor fong@tdnpublishing.com If there’s one thing Zach Jones has learned in all his years play football, it’s that the biggest way to shut a big mouth is with a big hit.

“Against Trotwood (last year), there were a bunch of guys out there who said I was too small to be playing football … until I hit them,” Jones said.

Here’s the thing — the Trotwood players probably were right. Jones — a senior on the Troy football team — probably is too small to be playing football, particularly at fullback. Listed in the program at 5-foot-8, 165pounds (both generous, at best), he’s the smallest fullback coach Steve Nolan has ever had in his three decades at Troy.

But he may also be one of the toughest.

“We know what we’re going to get when Jones is in there,” Nolan said. “We know he’s going to block his rear end off every sin-

TROY with 131 carries for 632 yards and six touchdowns.

Senior quarterback Justin Weaver isn’t far behind with 51 carries for 329 yards and a touchdown.

Sophomore fullback Allen Lawrence rounds out the attack with 40 carries for 243 yards and a pair of touchdowns.

Beavercreek’s offense will be matched against a Trojan defense that struggled in its last contest, allowing Sprinboro’s Jake Longworth — the Panther’s third-string running back — to carry the ball 34 times for 184 yards and touchdown. All told, Sprinboro ran 73 plays — as opposed to 43 for Troy — in last week’s losing effort.

“Obviously we have to improve on defense — that’s an understatement,” Nolan said. “They are averaging 300 yards per game rushing. They try to keep the ball away from you.

That’s what they do. We can’t afford to keep our defense on the field the entire game like we did against Sprinboro. And if we don’t come out and play well from the beginning and they get an early lead, we may not see the ball again. That’s why it’s so important — maybe even more important than it was against Fairborn or Springboro — not to fall behind early.”

Troy will counter with an offense that has grown increasingly centered around the arm of quarterback Cody May — certainly a departure from the ground-based attacks Nolan has favored in his three decades at Troy.

Through four games, May has completed 35 of 61 passes for 514 yards and eight touchdowns, while only throwing one interception. His favorite target has been fellow senior Ian Dunaway, who has 10 catches for 165 yards and four touchdowns.

“Those two have been playing really well,” Nolan said. “Cody is making great decisions and Dunaway has caught everything that’s been thrown his way.”

In the end, Nolan knows how mentally ready his team is to play tonight will go a long way toward determining the final outcome.

“We can’t afford another slow start,” he said. “If we do, it’s going to be a problem.”

Colorado at Ohio State, 3:30 Saturday, ABC QUARTERBACKS

RECEIVERS

True freshman Braxton Miller will get the first start of his career against Colorado. That announcement came from Ohio State coach Luke Fickell on Thursday afternoon. Senior Joe Bauserman started the first three games of the season, but his 2 for 14 for 13 yards passing effort in a 24-6 loss at Miami left OSU with a one-dimensional offense. Miller is 10 of 16 passing for 152 yards and has shown some running ability, but had two turnovers against Miami.

Tyler Hansen has carried Colorado’s offense, which has gained 75 percent of its yardage in the air in a win over Colorado State and losses to Hawaii and California. Hansen has thrown for 912 yards, seven touchdowns and one interception. He started eight games last year before a ruptured spleen ended his season.

Advantage: Ohio State

Some of the blame for Ohio State’s struggles in the passing game has to be assigned to an inexperienced group of receivers. There were several times against Miami when no receivers were open and none of the four completions by OSU quarterbacks in the game went to a receiver. Tight end Jake Stoneburner’s eight catches lead the team.

Paul Richardson has dominated the receiving statistics for Colorado with 18 catches for 360 yards and four touchdowns. Toney Clemons, a Michigan transfer who was in uniform against OSU in 2007 and 2008, caught three passes for 65 yards last week but has struggled to regain the form of last season when he had 43 catches.

Advantage: Colorado

OFFENSIVE LINE The play of OSU’s offensive line was one of the few areas that got good grades against Miami. The Buckeyes rushed for 174 yards and averaged 4.7 yards per carry.

Cory Linsley, who sat out the first two games because of a non-scandal related suspension, has played well since replacing Marcus Hall at right guard.

Injuries have caused some shuffling on the line for Colorado. Tackle David Bakhtiari is expected to return to the lineup after missing the last two games. Tackle Jack Harris missed the Colorado State game with a broken bone in his leg.

Advantage: Ohio State

DEFENSIVE LINE John Simon is the acknowledged standout on OSU’s defensive front with Nathan Williams still sidelined after arthroscopic knee surgery. Johnathan Hankins, a 335pound sophomore, also is a presence inside and Garrett Goebel has two tackles for losses.

Colorado’s best pass rusher, sophomore defensive end Chidera Uzo-Diribe (2.5 sacks), pursued his first sports love, basketball, until he was a junior in high school. He turned to football when he realized college recruiters wouldn’t come knocking on the door of a 6-foot-3 post player.

Advantage: Ohio State

LINEBACKERS Ohio State’s only returning starter, Andrew Sweat, was limping during the Miami game, an injury coach Luke Fickell said he was “fighting through.” His backup, Ryan Shazier, has been one of the pleasant surprises in the freshman class with three tackles for losses and a sack.

Douglas Rippy (26 tackles) is one of the leaders of Colorado’s defense. He spent most of his life in Columbus and graduated from Trotwood-Madison High School near Dayton.

Advantage: Ohio State

DEFENSIVE BACKS

ZACH BOREN The 6-foot-0, 252-pound junior fullback from Pickerington has matured into a leader for the offense as a two-year starter who contributes to the squad in multiple ways.

It’s safe to say Ohio State hasn’t gotten the level of play yet that it has become accustomed to in recent seasons from its defensive backfield. The defensive backs have only two interceptions and OSU has given up two passing touchdowns each of the last two games. Safety C.J. Barnett, back from a season-ending knee injury last year, might be the most consistent player in the secondary so far.

Turnovers have not been the specialty of the Buffaloes’ defensive backRUNNING BACKS Jordan Hall (87 yards on 14 carries) brought some much-needed speed field. Jon Major has the only interception so far this season.

Advantage: Ohio State and the potential for big plays to OSU’s backfield when he returned against Miami after a two-game suspension. Leg cramps limited him in the second SPECIAL TEAMS half, though. Expect him to get more carries this week.

Buckeyes believe better days ahead COLUMBUS — Bruce Springsteen once sang, “Have a little faith, there’s magic in the night.”

A little less poetically and without the backup band, Ohio State offensive lineman J.B. Shugarts had some advice this week for Buckeyes’ fans anguishing over last week’s 24-6 loss to Miami.

“Have faith. Have faith. We’re Ohio State,” Shugarts said.

Shugarts, a senior, has been around long enough to know Ohio State fans. Believing in their team is almost a matter of faith.

And more than a few of them were having doubts after the ways OSU played at Miami.

The most hysterical among them hit the internet message boards before the Miami game was over to declare coach Luke Fickell was in over his head, that Joe Bauserman was the worst quarterback in Ohio State history and that he should be deported to North Korea.

OK, I made that last part up.

But if some of those guys knew how to find North Korea on a map, they would have posted it.

Faith might not be exactly what is called for, though.

Instead, maybe patience is what Shugarts should have suggested.

After all, Ohio State expected to have Terrelle Pryor, a fourthyear starter at quarterback. It expected to have Dan Herron running the ball and DeVier Posey catching the ball. And it thought it would have Mike Adams blocking for all of them.

Except for Pryor, they’ll be back Oct. 8 after serving their five-game suspensions for NCAA violations.

And maybe faith and Ohio State’s offensive capabilities will be restored then.

Or maybe not. “We’re Ohio State,” as Shugarts said, has come to mean winning 10 or more games, winning the Big Ten title and going to a BCS bowl.

That might not happen for this year’s Ohio State team.

There is the possibility they’re just not quite that good.

Colorado looks like the Indiana of the Pac-12, so things should be OK this week. But there are sterner tests down the road.

Freshman Miller to start at QB for Buckeyes vs. Colorado COLUMBUS (AP) — An 18-year-old true freshman is being given the keys to the Ohio State offense.

Interim coach Luke Fickell made it official on Thursday when he announced that Braxton Miller would take over as the starting quarterback against Colorado on Saturday.

Fifth-year senior Joe Bauserman had started the first three games for the Buckeyes (2-1), but the passing game with Bauserman and Miller splitting time was almost nonexistent in Saturday night’s 24-6 loss at Miami. The two quarterbacks combined to hit just 4 of 18 passes for 35 yards with an interception (by Miller), with

all four completions going to running backs.

“It’s a ‘give him a shot,’” Fickell said moments after disclosing the decision on his weekly radio show. “The reality is it is a big thing. But we need both of them. The way we handle it is key. But it’s time to give him a chance.”

The switch comes at a symbolic crossroads for the Buckeyes, who climbed as high as No. 15 before stopping a late Toledo drive to pull off a narrow 27-22 win and then falling flat in their first regular-season game ever in Florida.

Ohio State fans have been clamoring for more of Miller a five-star recruit from just an hour down Interstate 70

in suburban Dayton since he enrolled at the school last January.

Earlier this week, Colorado coach Jon Embree said far too much emphasis is put on who starts at the position.

“I hate cliche, but too much credit is given to the quarterback when it is good and too much blame when it goes bad,” he said. “It takes a lot of people. I don’t think it is just a one-guy problem with the passing game (at Ohio State). The other games they were doing OK with it, so I’m not buying the sky is falling in Columbus.”

Miller, who is listed as 6foot-3 and 210 pounds, received one-quarter of the

snaps in spring ball, with Bauserman, redshirt freshman Taylor Graham and third-year sophomore Kenny Guiton also getting equal playing time in workouts.

Shortly after preseason camp opened in early August, Bauserman and Miller were separated as the top two and they’ve been dueling ever since. The depth chart has listed them as co-starters all season.

Bauserman had spent the last two years watching from the sidelines as Terrelle Pryor played almost every down for teams that went 112 and 12-1.

But everything changed during a tumultuous few months during which decade-

long coach Jim Tressel was forced out of the job, several players were suspended and Pryor gave up his senior season to jump to the NFL. The 25-year-old Bauserman had a banner opener, hitting on 12 of 16 passes for 163 yards, while Miller was 8 of 12 for 130 yards in the second half of a rout over Akron. Even though Fickell and offensive coordinator Jim Bollman asserted Bauserman and Miller would share the job, Miller curiously never left the sidelines against Toledo while Bauserman did just enough (16 of 30 of 30 for 189 yards and a touchdown passing) to get the Buckeyes a victory.

But in high heat and humidity against an active Hurricanes defense on Saturday night, nothing went right. Bauserman hit on just 2 of 14 passes for 13 yards, while Miller had his only two completions (in four attempts, for 22 yards) on the final two plays.

Bauserman and the offense were booed by Ohio State fans during the Toledo game because he elected to throw the ball away rather than chance a turnover.

Ineffective at times, he still had no interceptions and no fumbles this season.

Miller, however, has lost two fumbles and thrown an interception in far less playing time.

Check that off the list.

Troy (10-5) held off Springboro — the sixth-ranked team in the Dayton area — Thursday night, winning in four 25-14, 21-25, 25-21, 26-24.

105 Announcements

CAUTION 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.

TODAY IN HISTORY (AP) — Today is Friday, Sept. 23, the 266th day of 2011.

There are 99 days left in the year. Autumn arrives at 5:04 a.m. Eastern time.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Sept. 23, 1952, Sen. Richard M. Nixon, R-Calif., salvaged his vice-presidential nomination by delivering the “Checkers” speech, in which he defended himself against allegations of improper campaign fundraising.

WASHINGTON (AP) — House Republicans grappled Thursday with ways to revive a must-pass measure to provide billions of dollars in disaster relief and prevent a government shutdown at the end of next week.

House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va., said the House would vote anew on the legislation Thursday evening.

But it was unclear whether GOP leaders had decided on exactly what the new legislation would look like or whether they had enough votes to reverse Wednesday’s embarrassing House rejection of the bill.

Cantor would provide no details after emerging from a closed-door meeting among Republicans. House Rules Committee

the problem or risk delays in getting disaster projects approved. “”I’m hopeful that Congress will work this out in the next couple of days,” Napolitano told The Associated Press as she flew to Joplin, Mo., to view tornado damage. “We have stretched this as far as it can go. We are scraping the bottom of the barrel.”

Now the question confronting GOP leaders including Speaker John Boehner of Ohio is whether to push the legislation to the left or the right in hopes of passing it through the House and reaching agreement with the Democratic Senate before disaster aid runs out for victims of Hurricane Irene and other disasters early next week.

Chairman David Dreier, RCalif., said the legislation would be similar to the earlier version and perhaps contain additional savings to help pay for the disaster aid.

But time is short.

Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said Thursday that the government’s main disaster aid account is “running on fumes” and could be tapped out as early as early next week. She called on Congress to quickly resolve
