Obama, Romney clash on economy far the dominant issue in the race for the White House. Public opinion polls show Obama with a slight advantage in key battleground states and nationally, and Romney was particularly aggressive in the debate’s early going, like a man looking to shake up a campaign with a little less than five weeks to run.

Candidates engage in first debate

A bold brown bag lunch

DENVER (AP) — In a showdown at close quarters, President Barack Obama and Republican Mitt Romney sparred aggressively in their first campaign debate Wednesday night over taxes, deficits and steps needed to create jobs in a sputtering economy.

Obama accused his rival of seeking to “double down on the

top-down policies” that led to a devastating economic downturn four years ago.

But Romney, standing a few feet away on the debate stage, said at one point: “The status quo isn’t going to cut it.”

That was a reference to the weak economy and 8.1 percent national unemployment that is by

Deputy loses his job

Water rate hike debated A first reading of an ordinance to raise water and sewer rates was presented at Monday night’s Covington Village Council meeting.

If approved, village residents would see a base rate increase of $4 increase for the water meter maintenance fund and $3.50 for the capital fund to pay the debt service for the system. See Page 5.

Sports center Troy Chamber of Commerce offices as well. Those offices have since been moved back to the building. The Middletons credit the swift response of the Troy Fire Department for saving the entire building, not only their store.

“They are our heroes,” said Carol, as she paused to gather her emotions.

Fire investigators ruled that the fire that gutted the Troy Sports Center was an old style fluorescent light in a display area of the store.

Carol also said it was the professionalism of the fire department, which thoroughly checked the building after the initial blaze was contained. The fire “flashed” back up within the walls of the historic building, yet firefighters were able to knock out the flare-up, which could

have set fire to the entire building and other businesses.

“The heat had to have been tremendous,” Carol said, noting that plastic coffee cups melted at the Winans Coffee house next door.

Now the sweet smell of coffee filters into the store, replacing the rancid smell of burned plastic, which lingered long after the blaze.

Smoke damaged the majority of the store and its contents, including the one special memento the Middletons are keeping from the blaze.

On the store table sits a basketball encased in brown, melted plastic. The basketball was signed by all the players from the Miami East High School boys’ state championship team, which the Middletons displayed in an acrylic display case in the

sports store. The once clear display case melted around the basketball due to the extreme heat of the fire.

“That just shows you how hot the fire was,” Carol said.

“That’s our memento — it’s just amazing.”

Five months later, the store has moved back to its home complete with a fresh coat of paint, wood floors and a new appreciation for the city’s first responders.

“Customers have been great, “ Carol said, noting several curious community members have stopped in the store to check out the new look. “They looked for us until they found us on the other side of the square.”

The Middletons also credit the help from the remodeling crew and insurance companies to get the store back home in time for the 25th anniversary of the familyowned and -operated store.

“They jumped right in,” Carol said of the hard work of clean-up by Bill Hawkey and Associates, and added that assistance from Westville Insurance made the displacement easier than expected. “You never know how well your insurance works until something like this happens.”

“They never dropped the ball,” said Jarred Middleton, who works alongside his parents at the store.

“We were able to get in here and get ready for the Christmas shopping season and we are thankful for that,” Carol said.

The Troy Sports Center is on the southwest quadrant of the downtown Public Square. Business hours are Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. For more information, call 339-1618.

NewFound Road, Joe Mullins and the Radio Ramblers and the Moron Brothers, in addition to nine local and regional bands.

Of course, it wouldn’t be an autumn festival without the appearance of some scarecrows. Guests will be naming the prize winners in categories including people’s choice, director’s choice, best

commercial, best noncommercial and funniest scarecrow.

Farm Fest sponsors include the Troy Foundation, which sponsored the music portion, Buckeye Insurance Group, Keonig Equipment, WBZI Classic Country Radio, Kerber Sheet Metal, Upper Valley Medical Center, Horizon Organic Milk,

Stillwater Technologies and Scott Family McDonald’s.

Those cases remain pending in municipal court and a Nov. 1 pretrial conference is scheduled.

Obama said his opponent’s plan to reduce all tax rates by 20 percent would cost $5 trillion and benefit the wealthy at the expense of middle income taxpayers.

Shot back Romney: “Virtually everything he just said about my tax plan is inaccurate.”

The former Massachusetts governor and businessman added that Obama’s proposal to allow

the expiration of tax cuts on upper-level income would mean tax increases on small businesses that create jobs by the hundreds of thousands.

The two campaign rivals clasped hands and smiled as they strode onto the debate stage at the University of Denver, then waved to the audience before taking their places behind identical lecterns.

There was a quick moment of laughter, when Obama referred to first lady Michelle Obama as “sweetie” and noted it was their 20th anniversary.

Thanks For Your Support!

Covington considers water rate increase Staff Reports COVINGTON – A first reading of an ordinance to raise water and sewer rates was presented at Monday night’s Covington Village Council meeting.

If approved, village residents would see a base rate increase of $4 increase for the water meter maintenance fund and $3.50 for the capital fund to pay the debt service for the system.

The ordinance also would increase the charge for water by 24 cents per thou-

sand for the first 6,000 gallons of usage.

Village Administrator Mike Busse said the increase for an average family of four would be about $9 per month.

Final action on the rate increase is expected at the Nov. 5 meeting.

The new rates would go into effect Jan. 1 and would be reflected in bills received by customers in February.

In another matter related to utility issues, council gave second reading to an

ordinance establishing policies and procedures for water and sewer service in the village.

In his administrator’s report, Busse advised council that five proposals have been received for the wastewater treatment plant study.

The proposals were submitted by Floyd Brown group, Jones and Henry, Hazen and Sawyer, CH2MHall and Mote and Associates.

The proposals will be reviewed by a committee.

Pit bull owner pleads guilty

BY WILL E SANDERS Staff Writer wsanders@dailycall.com TROY — An owner of two pit bulls that viciously mauled a woman last year entered two not guilty pleas at her arraignment in Miami County Common Pleas Court on Monday.

Mackenzie J. Vangel, 30, was the owner of the two pit bulls that attacked Sandra Getzendiner as she rode her bicycle across the North Main Street

Bridge on Sept. 11, 2011, and she has now been charged with two fourthdegree felony counts of unlawful restraint of a dog.

Vangel will next appear in court Oct. 9 for a pretrial conference on the charges, which could place her behind prison bars for a maximum of three years.

Getzendiner, then 59, was attacked as she pedaled over the bridge and was later airlifted by CareFlight to Miami

Valley Hospital in Dayton.

She spent 11 days in the hospital, many of which were in critical condition in the intensive care unit, and underwent several corrective surgeries.

The dogs were later put down.

In April the other owner of the two dogs, Brian Wilson, 31, of Piqua, was convicted of two counts of failure to confine an animal, both misdemeanors, and was fined $200 and $101 in court costs.

EDITORIAL ROUNDUP The Globe and Mail, Toronto on Egypt having no business accusing Canadians of insulting Islam: Egypt appears to be trying to make the crime of “offending Islam” a worldwide one. Or perhaps it just wishes to offer a bone to the mob. Its prosecutor-general has put out an arrest warrant for two Canadians and several other Coptic Christians allegedly involved in the making of Innocence of Muslims, the anti-Prophet Mohammed film that has sparked deadly riots in some Muslim countries.

It may be primarily a symbolic gesture, but it does, in effect, put people on notice everywhere that taking issue with Islam is a dangerous thing to do. The prosecutor says the charges in the warrant (which also include causing sectarian violence and harming Egyptian independence) carry a possible death sentence.

This is a strange approach for a nascent democracy, and a bad signal from the Muslim Brotherhood, which holds power.

The arrest warrant may also be a way of intimidating Coptic Christian activists and silencing them about discrimination against that minority in Egypt. The two Canadians cited in the warrant say they had no involvement in the film; one As I had publicly denounced the film in a statement from See It the Middle East Christian Association.

This decision was always fraught with peril. For many reservists, fighting in Iraq or Afghanistan was a huge step up from their regular training; as a group of military experts argued on our letters page in January, “frontline operations require a level of fitness, experience and training. that cannot readily be matched by part-time soldiers.” Only one in 20 TA personnel, they claimed, is ready for immediate deployment. So for the Government’s plan to work, those who sign up will need not just commitment, but far more training.

Yet as the Duke of Westminster, the TA’s outgoing commander, warned in an interview with this newspaper yesterday, employers are already reluctant to take on its members, on the grounds that they will lose their services for too long.

How will we get the reservists we need, when those who serve are treated as second-class citizens? One of the Duke’s suggestions is that employers should be banned from quizzing applicants about their TA membership.

This would be a step too far, not least because such service should be boasted of rather than concealed. But he is right that ways need to be found to compensate firms more directly for reservists’ absence — and, more broadly, to make Britain a society that values and celebrates its reservists, rather than shunning them.

With the winnowing of the Army, the TA now stands in the frontline of Britain’s defense.

It is up to us all to make sure it is fit for the task.

DOONESBURY

Halloween all tricks, no treats for this guy There’s a very good chance, if you start now, you can get your kid a presentable Halloween costume — for 2013, that is.

If you haven’t already picked out, sized and purchased your Halloween costume for your child for this year, you are pretty much up the creek. Also, you do not truly love your child.

I know this because my wife began picking out their Halloween costumes as soon as Easter ended. Which, of course, can mean only one thing — she loves our children more than you love your children.

Don’t worry, however — it also means she loves our children more than I love our children.

Truth be told, if it were up to me, we would skip Halloween every year. This is mostly because Halloween requires actual effort on my part.

Frequently I am asked how much I love my children. The answer is simple — I love my children up to, and sometimes including, the point at which it requires me to stop watching football, get off the couch and actually do something. Much

David Fong Troy Daily News Executive Editor more than that is pushing the boundaries of love I have for my children.

Of course, my wife makes me prove my love for my children on a daily basis, however, which means she expects me to be involved in the costume selection process. Mostly this involves me lying on the couch saying, “I love it” at every suggestion she makes. I can usually get away with this for about three or four minutes before she catches on and demands I start paying attention. Making me pay attention almost always involves taking away the root beer I’m usually drinking at the time. That always seems to get my attention.

— Bill Hershberger Troy

The biggest problem is — aside, of course, from my involvement in any way — is my wife always wants them to be wearing some sort of matching costume. For example, we can’t just slap a Disney Princess costume on her and a Transformers costume on him. That would be too easy and require very little planning. When it comes to picking out our children’s Halloween costumes, my wife wants to make sure there’s more plannning involved than a presidential inauguration.

“Why don’t we make them a football player and a cheerleader?” invariably comes my response.

“That’s what they were last year!” she informs me.

She obviously doesn’t get the fact I honestly don’t care if they wore the same costumes the year before. In fact, were it up to me, they’d go ahead and wear the same costumes every year.

That would make my life so muche easier. They could go ahead and dress up as a football player and cheerleader up until the point in their lives they actually becamse a real football

player and a real cheerleader.

It bears mentioning that I was the same thing every single year for Halloween as a child … a hobo. My mother would dress my in ratty clothes (or, as I liked to call them, my “church clothes”), smear some dirt of my face and put a bindle in my hand. She would then send me on my merry way to bother the neighbors.

Of course, she never had to worried about being bothered by trick-or-treaters. She put a bowl of candy on her front porch with a note that read, “take one.”

More often than not, the first kid who came to our front door would dump the entire bowl of candy into his or her bag. My mother, it bears mentioning, was perfectly OK with that.

I, obviously, have inherited my mother’s love of Halloween.

Here’s hoping it gets here soon. Because when it’s over, it will be a full 364 days until the next Halloween.

OBITUARIES

David T. Christian Sr.

Rosalie Marie (Sprinkle) Whitchurch NEW CARLISLE — Rosalie Marie (Sprinkle) Whitchurch, 88, formerly of Ludlow Falls, Miami County, as well as Washington State, Colorado, Nevada, California, Arkansas, Wyoming, Michigan, Delaware, Georgia and Texas, passed into eternity on Monday evening, Oct. 1, 2012, at Belle Manor Nursing Home in New Carlisle where Violet Hicks, along with many other wonderful health care providers, had lovingly joined her family in caring for her.

Born on June 20, 1924, in Chicago, Ill., to the late Everett and Nellie (Cassidy) Sprinkle, Rosalie will be remembered as a quiet individual that contributed to the world by faithfully devoting herself to her family. Although the void that her death has left can never be filled, her legacy will live on.

She was a loving wife to Charles, her late husband, and she was a devoted mother to three children, sons, David Whitchurch (Pamela) of Englewood, Darrell Whitchurch (Victoria), of Gatlinburg, Tenn., and a daughter, Diana Fessler (Bob) of New Carlisle. She also was the proud grandmother of 11 grandchildren: Teri Belt (Ken Bell) of Brookville, Kim Fergus (Todd) of Lewisburg, Lori Smith (Steve) of Springboro, Christian (Kathleen) Whitchurch of Alexandria, Va., and Nathan (Linda) Whitchurch of Baton Rouge, La., Angela (Jim) King of Bellefontaine, Aaron Fessler (Kimber) of Mendham, N.J.: Anne-Marie Cox (Ryan) of Wheaton, Ill.; Andrew (Sheryl) Fessler of Waynesville, Elizabeth (James) Hardwick of Baltimore, Md. and Olivia (Jason) Braaten of Woodstock, Ct. She was blessed to be the greatgrandmother of Alexis and Anna Shockey and the late Andreas “Andy” Belt of Brookville; Abbey, Emma and Clair Fergus of Lewisburg; Ian and Kaylee Smith of Springboro; Jared,

Kaylee, Timothy and William Fessler of Mendham, N.J.; Ella and Matthew Cox of Wheaton, Ill.; David, Jacob and Lauren Fessler of Waynesville; Liliana Hardwick of Baltimore, Md.; and Nora and Arkin Braaten of Woodstock, Ct. She was especially close to Grace, Caleb and Sarah King of Bellefontaine, and would have loved the soon-to-be born children of Christian (Kathleen) Whitchurch of Virginia, and of Aaron (Kimber) Fessler of New Jersey.

Rosalie also is survived by two sistersin-law, Marie Rosebrook of Arvada, Colo., and Esther Mae Salzmann of Aurora, Colo.; and two brothers-in-law, Elmer Whitchurch (Gloria) of Jacksonville, Fla., and Bernard Whitchurch (Doris) of Westminister, Colo.

Rosalie was a retired licensed practical nurse who also enjoyed caring for her home, the company of good books, her beloved church, beautiful linens, birthdays, Alaska and Christmas with family and friends. We will miss her delicious cheesecakes and fried potatoes, her cards and letters, all written in exquisite penmanship, her thoughtfulness and spirit of generosity, but most of all, her presence. Although there are no words to ease the sorrow we are now feeling, there is a solace in the remembrance of her great love for us and her precious life will long remain in the hearts and minds of all who knew her. The world is a richer place for her having been in it and she will be truly missed.

Visitation will be from 9:30-10:30 a.m.

Friday, Oct. 5, 2012, at Transfiguration Catholic Church in West Milton followed by a Mass of Christian Burial at 10:30 a.m.

Try out these delicious oatmeal carrot muffins THE AMISH COOK

Lovina Eicher Troy Daily News Guest Columnist rayed.

Tomorrow night our neighbors Joas and Susan will bring us supper. That will be a treat. They want Jacob, Emma and family to come too. We have ordered our coal for the winter. It is so hard to believe it is that time of the year. Before we know it, it will be butchering season again. I hope we can butcher pork early this winter, as I have only sausage left in cans and none in the freezer.

After Loretta’s bed is moved upstairs I want to get started painting the dining room, living room and kitchen area again. I also have the material now to sew curtains for the bedrooms upstairs that haven’t had any since the fire. After the fire, there was not a sign of the boys curtains left.

They melted right off the curtain rods. Seems like winter is coming up too fast and we still have lots to do.

Neighbor Irene brought over a bag of carrots that she picked out of a field.

Mine never came up this year so I was really glad for them.

Try this recipe: OATMEAL CARROT MUFFINS 1 cup quick cooking oats, not instant 1 cup buttermilk 1 egg, beaten 1 /3 cup melted butter or margarine 1 /2 cup brown sugar 1 cup finely shredded carrots 1 teaspoon vanilla 1 teaspoon grated orange rind 1 cup whole wheat or allpurpose flour 2 teaspoons baking powder 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon salt Pour buttermilk over oats into a large mixing bowl. Add beaten egg, melted butter, sugar, carrots and orange rind. Mix thoroughly. In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt and mix. Add to oat mixture stirring just until moistened. If desired add raisins and bake. Fill greased muffin cups 3 /4 full and bake at 375 for 15 to 20 minutes.

A BLT on rye bread, with blue cheese, arugula and avocado.

Bold brown bagging You can get fancy at lunch CHRIS MACIAS Sacramento Bee Like at a lot of households this time of year, mornings before school at the Littlefields’ start with sandwiches. They might be turkey with mayo and lettuce, or classic PB&J. They’re all on the menu now that school’s back in session. Making them can become so routine it feels like sleepwalking. That doesn’t mean, though, that the same old sandwich has to taste boring.

With a few simple additions, the standard kid’s lunch-sack sandwich can be transformed into something tastier for grown-ups.

Think of it as going from “day” to “night,” like those fashion-magazine suggestions for outfits.

To get some ideas, we headed to UnChu Littlefield’s home in the Arden, Calif., area. She writes the blog “Tate’s K i t c h e n ” (tateskitchen.com), which is part of the Sacramento Bee’s Sacramento Connect blog network, and tests recipes for Cook’s Illustrated. She’s also especially swift with making sandwiches for lunch, being the mother to an adorable second-grader named Ada. As with many elemen-

dressing as a spread and adds avocado, arugula, sprouts and tomato. It’s a hearty sandwich with plenty of flavors and textures.

“I just realized this is like a Cobb salad with bread,” Littlefield said.

Kids are showing increasing food savvy, said Tanya Steel, editor in chief of Epicurious.com. The site recently held a “healthy lunchtime challenge” contest of kids’ recipes in which two of the most popular ingredients were quinoa and salmon.

“Their palates are getting so sophisticated that it’s mind-blowing,” said Steel, who’s the mother of twin 14-year-olds. “Part of that is you can go to any mall in the U.S. now and get sushi and edamame and all kinds of cuisine.

Thai, Vietnamese and Japanese foods — those aren’t ‘exotic’ or ‘ethnic’ to them. They’re just foods.”

For the Littlefield family, the marinated Korean beef known as bulgogi is a great equalizer for lunch or dinner. Some slices in wheat bread makes an easy sandwich for Ada. Substitute a steak roll slathered with blue-cheese dressing, top it with homemade slaw, and the sandwich starts getting into food-truck territory.

The trick is keeping these sandwiches fresh until lunchtime. One of the more high-maintenance methods is to keep most of the sandwich ingredients in separate containers and assemble them right before eating.

That idea makes Littlefield’s nose wrinkle, like she just sniffed something funky.

“I want to take it out and eat, not ‘some assembly required’ and then eat,”

she said.

If you don’t mind taking a few extra steps to splice a sandwich together, Steel recommends investing in a few inexpensive bento boxes.

“Anything that’s wet can be put in its own special section,” Steel said. “That’s very useful, especially for tuna. You can include a plastic knife and then put it on the bread.”

Steel also suggests packing sandwiches with an extra helping of dark leafy greens next to the bread. Throw away any soggy greens come lunchtime and you should still be left with enough leafiness for the sandwich.

Littlefield sometimes uses a little spread of butter on the bread to maintain the sandwich’s structure. The butter helps to keep any juices from soaking the bread. An extrasturdy style of bread or roll also will help the cause.

No matter what, thinking ahead and not saving all sandwich prep work for the morning is a good idea.

Steel opts to prepare dinner and fixings for the next day’s lunch all at once.

“That’s a time saver,” she said. “The last thing I have time for (in the morning) is to make lunch. I’m too busy yelling to wake them up.”

In Littlefield’s kitchen, homemade spreads, slaw and a variety of produce always are on standby, making it a cinch to dress up a simple sandwich.

“I always make sure the fridge has spinach and sprouts,” Littlefield said.

“I always have a plum or nectarine chutney and some blue cheese. That way, you can put together a pretty great sandwich in just a little time.”

tary-school-age kids, Ada’s sandwich tastes are simple and more than a little fussy. The bread has to be Home Pride Split Top Wheat. And there can’t be any tomato in her “BLT.” “She calls it a ‘BL,’ ” Littlefield said as her daughter eyed a plate of freshly cooked bacon.

“She’s a picky, picky eater.

She always knows when I try to cheat.”

Mom’s taste buds are more adventurous. She keeps her fridge stocked with an assortment of spreads and produce, making it easy to gussy up a sandwich during the rush of a school morning.

Littlefield demonstrates by making a quick sandwich for Ada: turkey on wheat with mayonnaise and lettuce.

Then, Littlefield makes one of her own. The turkey stays the same, but out goes the iceberg lettuce in exchange for baby spinach and alfalfa sprouts. Instead of mayo, brie cheese and homemade apricot jam.

Brie, apricot jam, bread — it doesn’t sound far off from the elements of a cheese plate that you’d find at a wine bar.

“It’s like, can’t I have something a little more interesting?”

Littlefield said while assembling her improved version.

Her take on the timehonored BLT also transitions easily from “day” to “evening.” The bacon stays the same, but she opts for rye bread instead of the standard wheat. She uses a homemade blue-cheese

Another week has flown by. Autumn is here now and it is obvious. Mornings are chillier and leaves are starting to fall. Some of our trees are getting that colorful look. We haven’t had a killing frost yet but have had temperatures in the upper 30s.

Sister Emma’s son Stephen came off the bus around noon. I had just finished hanging out the laundry. Susan and I have been babysitting for our friend Amy’s two children this week. Matthew is 2 and Emily just turned a year old earlier this month. Susan was kept busy tending to the little ones while I did laundry.

Emily is starting to take steps now. I almost forgot all the things two little ones can get into. A favorite seems to be my sewing machine drawers. I forgot that my house was not childproof anymore. I think we have everything under control with moving things up a little higher and the stairs gated shut. Little Emily just notices right away if the gate is not by the stairway.

Matthew is not a problem and plays really well. He loves when Susan takes him to see the pony. Yesterday we took him for a pony and cart ride. He was so excited he would have done that all day.

The sun hasn’t been out much today but there is a nice breeze blowing so hopefully the clothes will dry.

Loretta is counting the days until she can have her cast taken off. She has two weeks to go yet. Daughter Verena will be fitted for a new AFO foot brace next week.

Usually they need to be changed around every 9 months while they are still growing, but she has had this for almost a year.

Wearing the brace has sure helped her a lot.

(Editor’s Note: Lovina is genuinely appreciative of all the readers who have contacted her offering various vitamin suggestions for her daughters. Lovina does have her children on a combined course of vitamins and conventional medicinal therapies and she is inclined to stick with what she is using.

Lovina thanks readers for their concern and wishes she could respond to everyone personally).

My husband Joe ended up going to a doctor again as he just didn’t seem to be getting better. They gave him two antibiotics and is getting some relief finally. He has had some pretty miserable nights already. The doctor said if this doesn’t help, he should get his chest x-

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Speaking your mind may cause more of a problem Dear Annie: My son passed away last year from cancer. Not even two months after his death, my daughter-in-law began dating a married man. She then became pregnant and moved in with him and my two young granddaughters. She had the baby 11 months after my son's death.

I am upset about her choice to move on so quickly. Worse, she has told my granddaughters that they can call this new man "Daddy" if they want to. I have a big problem with this. First, he is still married to his wife and has two other children. And second, these two little girls just lost their father and haven't had a chance to grieve or process what's going on.

I am not going to judge the Other Man. He could very well turn out to be a good guy who simply needed to grow up. But I worry about my grandchildren.

Everyone tells me not to say anything because she might take the girls from me. (She has done that before.) But I don't know how much longer I can keep my mouth closed. — Unhappy Grandmother Dear Grandmother: Your daughter-in-law's behavior seems disrespectful to your son's memory and also to his children. But we suspect she is afraid of being alone and raising two children by herself. Although we understand the desire to speak up, we can assure you that it will serve no purpose. Please don't create a situation that will estrange you from your granddaughters. They are going to need you, and you will want to be around to help them remember their father. Do what you must in order to remain in their lives, even if it means keeping your opinions to yourself.

Feel free to write us anytime you need to vent.

Dear Annie: I'm 34 and have two grandmothers. One has dementia, and the other has neglected her health to the point where diabetes keeps her from moving around. She's stopped bathing because getting into the shower is too difficult, and she refuses my father's suggestion to have an aide.

I haven't visited either grandmother in two months. I want to remember the first one the way she was. She doesn't know who I am half the time anyway. She sometimes hallucinates, although pleasantly. She told us a longdead politician had dropped by.

I've always had difficulty being around the other because she spends all her time watching the news and hears only the worst things.

My parents aren't happy about this. One of my grandfathers spent the last three years of his life sick with every known illness, some of which were gross to see.

He died with all of us at his side, so I got to watch him turn into a bloated, swollen, ulcerated heaving corpse. That's why I'd rather not see my grandmothers anymore. Do any of your readers have the same problem? — N.Y., N.Y. Dear N.Y.: Of course they do, and some choose to visit anyway, and others can't be bothered. But we think it says a lot about one's character to visit these family members because it's the right thing to do, whether it makes you comfortable or not. It's a kindness to your grandmothers and to your parents. Please try.

Dear Annie: I'd like to respond to "Cape Coral, Fla.," whose son is doing poorly in his college math classes.

College is not high school. Too many students simply come to class unprepared and then blame the teacher. At the college level, students must take responsibility for their own learning. If the professors do not return his exam papers, he should go to the department head. The U.S. is the only country I know of where people proudly proclaim that they hate math, don't understand it and don't care. — Retired Community College Teacher Annie's Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

YESTERDAY’S SOLUTION:

HINTS FROM HELOISE

One strong smell: Know your perfumes and sprays Dear Readers: What makes a spritz of perfume stronger than a body spray? Parfum (perfume) gets its aroma from perfume oils, not essential oils! Pure essential oils are liquids that stem from natural raw materials, and most should not be in direct contact with the skin. The oils in perfumes are safe for use on bare skin. The fragrance is still diluted in another oil or alcohol, to vary the strength of the scent.

The strength, which is determined by the percentage of perfume oils, can vary. Here’s the list: • Parfum • Eau de Parfum

Hints from Heloise Columnist • Eau de Toilette • Eau de Cologne.

“Eau” is a term meaning that there is more alcohol diluting the oil — it is a “watered down” version of the pure aroma. This doesn’t lessen the quality, only the strength, so you’ll still smell wonderful. Eau la la! — Heloise P.S.: Heloise update: Don’t

“spray” perfume and walk through it! It can spot some clothes and is too costly to waste!

DEFLATING RAFTS Dear Heloise: If you have a swimming pool and are tired of the time it takes to deflate rafts for storage, try using clothespins.

Simply place one clothespin on the valve of each raft to keep it open. It allows the air to escape without human contact.

Also, use additional clothespins to pinch the raft as it deflates.

Simply roll or fold the raft up toward the valve, hold it there with a clothespin and pretty soon the raft will be out of air, ready to be folded for winter storage.

As most pool owners know, many rafts can take a lot of time to deflate at the end of summer.

This simple trick has saved us hours! — Laura L. in Indiana BELT STORAGE Dear Heloise: Instead of hanging my belts on a hook, one in front of another, I now hang them on the long rod of a clothes hanger.

I fold the buckle over the rod and thread the belt part through its buckle. The belts then hang side by side in a neat row. I can see the one I want and remove it easily without having to remove the other belts first. It is so convenient. — Wanda in Oklahoma

HOROSCOPE

BY FRANCES DRAKE For Friday, Oct. 5, 2012 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You’re tuned in to the needs and wants of others today, which makes this a good day for heart-to-heart discussions with partners and close friends. (You will listen well.)

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Double-check important details related to money at work today. Because things are fuzzy, it’s easy to make mistakes, especially because you assume everything is just fine.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You’re in touch with your Muse today, which makes this a great day for artists, writers and anyone who’s doing something creative. You’ll also feel sensitive to children.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) If you can help a family member today, you will. Basically, you want everyone at home to have a warm feeling in his or her tummy.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Because your psychic powers are strong today, you’ll know what someone is going to say before this person speaks. This makes dealing with others easier.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) This is a poor day to make important financial decisions. You’re inclined to go along with your wishes, but wishing is tricky when money is involved.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) You’ll be pleased to read romantic literature or watch romantic comedies today, because you feel like escaping.

You also feel extra sensitive to the world around you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Trust your intuition today. Although this is a poor day for practical, financial details and decision-making, it’s a good day for hunches and secondguessing.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) You’ll be pleased to join efforts with others to help someone in need today, because your sympathies are aroused.

You might feel you have something strongly in common with someone.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) When dealing with authority figures (bosses, parents and the police), be careful what you say today. If you express how you truly feel, you might sound corny or flaky. Keep your thoughts to yourself.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Mystical, religious or occult subjects will intrigue you today. You want to know more about hidden knowledge and esoteric wisdom. (There is more to life than meets the eye.)

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) In a way, the world is like an impressionist painting to you today. This is why it’s not a good time to make important decisions about shared property, wills and legal documents.

YOU BORN TODAY Fairness and justice are important to you, which is why many of you become politically involved. You want to expose fraud and hypocrisy. Privately, you are fun-loving, creative and adventurous. You believe in living life fully. Whether you seek it or not, you are often a leader for others, especially in society. In the year ahead, partnerships and close friendships will be of primary importance.

Famed bell company back in business EAST HAMPTON, Conn. (AP) — The 180year-old New England company that made the little bell that rings every time an angel gets its wings in the Christmas classic “It’s a Wonderful Life” has resumed production in time for the holidays, four months after its 19th-century factory burned down.

Over the past few weeks, employees working at a temporary factory set up in a rented warehouse across the street from Bevin Bros. Manufacturing Co. began filling customer orders, including the annual one from the Salvation Army for the steel and brass bells it uses during its kettle drives.

The resumption of bellmaking, announced with fanfare Wednesday by Matthew Bevin, the sixthgeneration owner of Bevin Bros., was welcomed by many in Belltown USA, as this town of 13,000 people 20 miles from Hartford has long called itself. Bevin

Bros. is the last bell manufacturer in a town that had more than 30 of them generations ago.

Eric Fuller, an assistant manager at a hardware store, said it would be difficult to imagine an end to the company in a town where even the public school mascot is the bellringer. Bells are pictured on the town seal and on street and welcome-to-East Hampton signs.

“It’s the town’s identity,” he said. “It’s important for the long-time residents.”

Matthew Bevin, a 45year-old businessman who fondly recalls putting “tongues” on bells as a child and now lives in Louisville, Ky., has vowed to build a new factory to replace the one destroyed by fire during a lightning storm May 27.

He said he is doing it for the employees and the town, and was inspired by his ancestors, who managed to keep the company afloat through technological change, the Depression

Some employees wiped away tears as they listened to Bevin’s announcement.

Austin Gardner, 72, a tool-and-die maker who has worked at the factory for 20 years, said the employees are extremely loyal and happy to get called back. So far, 14 of the 27 employees are back on the job, he said.

“They’re grateful to have a job, especially in this economy,” Gardner said. He added: “I don’t think anybody else would have done what Matt’s doing. There’s not a whole lot of money to be made in this business.”

■ National Football League

Cribbs not slowing down after vicious hit BEREA (AP) — Josh Cribbs opened his eyes and was surprised to see his teammates huddling around him on their knees. He got up and was approached by Hall of Famer Michael Irvin, who shook Cribbs’ hand.

It felt like a dream.

“I was like, ‘What is Michael Irvin doing on the field?’ ” Cribbs said. “I thought I was seeing stuff.”

Fortunately, Cribbs can joke now about the vicious hit he absorbed last week in Baltimore, a crushing blow to

the side of his head that knocked him unconscious, sent his helmet flying and left his family in tears.

Cribbs was cleared to return to practice on Wednesday, less than a week after taking a hit that silenced an entire stadium and dazed a national TV audience. He remembers very little of the shot he took from Ravens linebacker Dannell Ellerbe on a kickoff return in the first quarter. As Cribbs was being wrapped up

by Ravens long snapper

■ National Football League

Morgan Cox, Ellerbe came in from the side and lowered his shoulder and forearm into Cribbs’ helmet, a legal but lethal shot.

Cribbs’ arms flew back impulsively and his dreadlocks flipped back before his head smashed into the synthetic turf. As Cribbs lay motionless, another Baltimore player accidentally kicked him in the face as players for both teams fought for the fumble. Cribbs, who has only watched one replay of the tackle, said he has little

memory of what happened.

“I don’t remember much about the hit, but after I came up I was ready to play again,” Cribbs said. “They had to take my helmet and everything for me not play and had to keep tabs on me in the locker room so I wouldn’t run back out there. I was ready to play and I’m ready to play this week.”

Cribbs has been knocked out on the field before, but never for as long as he was last week. After being helped to his feet, Cribbs noticed

that many of his teammates and most of the Ravens had been kneeling in prayer as he was being treated by Cleveland’s medical staff.

That’s also when he saw Irvin, who was broadcasting the game and came onto the field out of concern.

In the aftermath of the hit, Cribbs said his wife and other family members have urged him to retire.

“Everybody was calling.

They couldn’t stop crying,” he said. “My brother wants me to stop. Everybody was talk-

ing to me like they were talking to my dad. He’s a police officer in (Washington) D.C. and when he was reaching retirement, they wanted him to get behind a desk. Right now, they’re doing the same thing to me. They’re telling me, ‘I know you love the game.’ They’re trying to get me out of playing. They’re like ‘man, you’re family’s more important. You’ve got so many years of your life.’

“They’re basically telling me, whenever I’m ready, they won’t be mad.”

OSU’s prize ‘Philly’ Brown quickly becoming Buckeyes’ go-to receiver

AP PHOTO

Cincinnati Bengals defensive tackle Domata Peko does the “Gangnam Style” dance after making a sack against the Jacksonville Jaguars during the first half Sunday in Jacksonville, Fla.

‘Dancing with the Bengals’ CINCINNATI (AP) — Domata Peko promised his children that he’d have something special for them if he made a big play in the Cincinnati Bengals’ next game.

One play in, the defensive tackle was dancing just the latest member of the NFL’s most sack-bent defense to do a little highstepping.

The Bengals (3-1) lead the league with 17 sacks heading into their home game Sunday against the Miami Dolphins (1-3).

Their young-andimproving line has provided most of the sacks and the team’s best dance since receiver Chad Ochocinco did the tango on “Dancing with the Stars” in 2010.

“Oh man, those guys are cornerback animals,” Terence Newman said.

“Don’t leave small children around them. It’s fun watching those guys with the passion they play with, wanting to get the quarterback and stopping the run.”

The line has been a highlight the last two games. The Bengals had six sacks in each of the games, the first time they’ve done that since 2001.

Peko got it started during a 27-10 win in Jacksonville on Sunday, coming up the middle and dropping Blaine Gabbert on the first play from scrimmage. The 322-pound tackle popped up quickly, crossed his wrists and started bobbing and hopping sideways.

After a few shuffles, he raised his right arm and twirled it, his rendition of the “Gangnam Style” dance.

“My kids just really love that song ‘Gangnam Style,’ so I did it for them,” Peko said. “I told them that if I get a sack or make a big play I would do the dance for them. Hopefully I’ll keep making big plays and you’ll see some more ‘Gangnam Style.’ I was just having fun.”

So is everyone around him.

Twelve of the 17 sacks have come from four linemen. Tackle Geno Atkins had two against the Jaguars and leads all NFL interior linemen with five sacks.

End Michael Johnson has four sacks, end Carlos Dunlap has two in two games, and Peko got his first on Sunday.

The front four has been

able to get to the quarterback without a lot of help from blitzing linebackers or defensive backs. Dunlap was the missing element, having to sit out the first two games with a sprained knee.

“Having the complete rotation that’s the big contributor to us getting to Gabbert as a defensive line and as a whole defense,” Dunlap said. “Everyone being healthy and having the whole line rotation does wonders for everybody. It’s not just one person making the plays. They don’t know who to cover because at any given time, any one of us can get it.”

Johnson had the first big game by a lineman this season, getting a careerhigh three sacks during a 38-31 win in Washington.

He took advantage of left tackle Trent Williams’ knee injury.

Atkins, a fourth-round pick in 2010, led NFL interior linemen with 7 sacks last season, and is already well ahead of that pace.

“Geno I’m telling you, the dude is like a little pit bull,” Newman said. “He’s stocky, compact, and his first step is amazing. I worked out with him in the offseason. His first step is unbelievable, and he’s smart. I couldn’t believe this is only his third year in the league. The guy’s going to be one of the best at that position for sure.”

The Bengals have one of the league’s tallest lines with the 6-foot-7 Johnson, 6-foot-6 Dunlap and 6-foot3 Peko. Atkins is the smallest at 6-foot-1, but he does most of the pushing around.

“He’s unreal,” Peko said.

“He’s one of those guys when you look at his stature you’re like ‘Oh, man. He’s a smaller tackle.’

But when he’s out there on the field, he plays like he’s 6-foot-7.”

And when they surround the quarterback, it makes is tough to see the receivers and get the ball to them.

“In the quarterback’s mind, his clock is sped up and he really has to get rid of the ball, he can’t hold onto it,” safety Chris Crocker said. “Our defensive linemen are very tall guys. Just them getting their arms up, getting around him it’s uncomfortable. As long as they continue to get the pressure like they’re getting, then we’ll make a lot of plays.”

COLUMBUS (AP) — Whether his coaches call him Corey or call him Philly, all that matters to Ohio State’s Corey Brown is that they just keep calling his number.

Brown, dubbed “Philly” because of his hometown to differentiate him from defensive back Corey “Pittsburgh” Brown, has suddenly become the longawaited go-to guy at widereceiver for the Buckeyes.

“I just like the position I’m in right now, basically doing a little bit of everything,” he said. “It’s obviously a perfect position, being able to get some carries, being able to do the screen passes and also getting some downfield throws.”

His name might not be distinctive but his numbers are.

The junior had 12 catches in the 12th-ranked Buckeyes’ 17-16 win on Saturday at Michigan State. To put that into perspective, the leading receivers for the Buckeyes during the 2011 season had 14 catches.

“He’s really improved. It couldn’t happen to a guy that’s more committed to excellence,” said head coach Urban Meyer, who had verbally savaged his receivers for several months. “The good thing is he’s not near what he can be.”

Brown has 32 catches for 317 yards and a touchdown so far for the Buckeyes (5-0, 1-0 Big Ten), who host No. 21 Nebraska (4-1, 1-0) on Saturday night in a major showdown.

He’s tied for 30th in the nation — something almost unheard of in recent years for an Ohio State wide-out — in receptions per game (6.40).

Much of his success stems from his volatility on short screen passes. But he’s also helping the Buckeyes out by simply attracting extra defenders wary of the threat he poses.

“Philly Brown has come along and really drawn a lot of attention in coverage,” receivers coach Zach Smith said.

This is all a world away from what Meyer and his staff thought last spring about Brown and his fellow wideouts. Meyer was

Saturday. grumpy about a lot of areas, but none more than the supposed pass-catchers. He said they were “not functional” and “probably the most unprepared group I’ve ever dealt with as far as practice.”

Ohio State threw for just 127 yards a game last season near the bottom in all of major-college football with a freshman quarterback (Braxton Miller) and a group of targets who frequently dropped the passes that did get through to them. Brown, Devin Smith and Jake Stoneburner shared the team lead with a whopping 14 receptions in 13 games.

The Ohio State leader in catches hadn’t had fewer since tight end Fred Pagac hauled in a grand total of nine in 1973, back when coach Woody Hayes favored “three yards and a cloud of dust” and disdained the forward pass.

In Year One of Meyer’s no-huddle, spread attack

that is heavy on passing, the Buckeyes are still a shadow of what he hopes they will become when it comes to throwing the ball.

But it’s still a step in the right direction even though Ohio State still needs to break more short passes for long touchdowns.

“He’s allowed to make a guy miss once in a while and get more than eight yards,” Meyer said of Brown, only half kidding.

“Our spread is going to attack you vertically and horizontally. And our horizontal guy has to be able to shake loose from a couple of those (tackles).”

Brown was pleased with the catches that kept moving the chains at Spartan Stadium. But that was before Meyer got a chance to badger him all week in practice.

“The blocking was perfect, so we did a real good job on the perimeter,” Brown said of the screen passes. “I’ve just got to get

better using my vision and speed, and break some tackles.”

Meyer openly says that if the Buckeyes don’t have the speed and shiftiness to break long runs after a short pass, then he’ll find someone who can.

“We’ve got to recruit, get some more (fast receivers),” he said. “I need three or four guys that can do that.”

That doesn’t mean Meyer doesn’t recognize how far Brown and the others have come.

“I’m so very proud of him,” he said. “He’s our guy to go to right now in certain situations.”

Still flush from his hometown Philadelphia Eagles big 19-17 win over the New York Giants on Sunday night and with his own team unbeaten Brown said he didn’t care what anyone called him.

“You can call me ‘Eagles’ right now,” he said with a laugh.

■ Auto Racing

Strategy varies at Talladega CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — There’s debate as to where a driver wants to be in the race to the Sprint Cup title.

Brad Keselowski likes the view out front.

Keselowski takes a fivepoint lead over Jimmie Johnson into Sunday’s race at Talladega Superspeedway, the fourth of 10 races in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship. Keselowski doesn’t care if the rest of the field is gunning for him because he wants to be the hunted.

“I don’t know why you wouldn’t want to be leading.

I don’t understand that the-

ory at all,” Keselowski said.

“If you have a chance to be in the lead, take it and run.”

That makes for an interesting discussion for Talladega, where drivers have varying strategy. Some sit back and wait until late in the race to make a push toward the front, while others aren’t shy about mixing it up.

It’s something Keselowski had thought long and hard about before the May race at Talladega, where he defied conventional wisdom to beat Kyle Busch. In doing so, he became the first driver in five races at Talladega to be

leading on the last lap and hold on for the win.

No driver has wanted to be out front in the closing laps because it sets them up to have the win snatched away by the second-place driver. Because drafting is so important at restrictorplate races, drivers have mastered the strategy of pushing a car around the track before pulling off the bumper at the last second and using a sling-shot pass to gain position.

Keselowski said after the win he had dreamed about the scenario, and he executed it with perfection to create a strategy he’s not sure

would work again Sunday.

“That was probably a one-time thing,” Keselowski said, “there’s way of beating that.”

Figuring out where to be and when to make a move is half the battle this weekend, particularly for the Chase drivers. Two-time defending race winner Clint Bowyer said his strategy will depend on how he qualifies, and at fourth in the standings, he’s going hard Sunday after Keselowski, Johnson and Denny Hamlin. But Kasey Kahne, who is sixth in points, said he hasn’t yet figured out what he’ll do beyond chasing points.

MIAMI COUNTY

TIPP CITY — After going fur straight games without scoring, Tippecanoe coach Scott Downing knew that the Red Devils desperately needed to put up points in two critical Central Buckeye Conference Kenton Trail Division games.

The Devils took care of Tecumseh Monday 2-1, then they routed Kenton Ridge 3-0 Wednesday night to take sole possession of the division lead.

“That was huge for us,” Downing said. “We went on a streak where we couldn’t score goals, but in league on Monday and tonight, we knew we had to have them.”

Brian Bernhold put Tippecanoe (9-2-3, 8-0-2) on the board Wednesday night with a feed from

Zach Vinski, then John Pfister and Liam Whitworth each added unassisted goals to put the game away.

The Devils face Bellbrook on Saturday before finishing up Kenton Trail play Wednesday against Springfield Shawnee.

Troy Boys ■ CONTINUED FROM 15 massive GWOC North implications.

Troy (5-2-5, 3-0-1 GWOC North) needed the win over Sidney to keep pace with Butler for a share of the league title.

Butler defeated Sidney earlier in the season, while the Trojans and Aviators tied. Butler travels to lastplace Trotwood Tuesday, while Troy hosts Piqua the same night to decide the fate of the league title.

Troy, Sidney (7-5-2, 2-2) and Butler have all three shared the league title the past two seasons straight.

“I had confidence in them, but the mentality to win, that’s what I wanted to see,” Phillips said.

Early on, it looked like Troy was fully prepared to win.

Less than two minutes into the game, Mowery sent a cross in front of the Sidney net. A Jacket defender got his head on it in a clearing attempt, but Dakota Hampton knocked it down, settled it and poked it in to give Troy a 10 lead.

Troy had three more quality chances throughout the next 20 minutes, but none found the back of the net — once thanks to a non-goalie save on a corner kick. Sidney, meanwhile, saw all of its scoring chances come in the next 20 minutes from 20 yards or more away — many times off of the foot of Preston Heath — but each time the shot was wide or was stopped by Troy keeper Matthew Carr.

But with 36:58 left to play, Sidney tied things up,

Troy’s Peyton Mowery reaches for the ball during a 3-1 Troy victory over Sidney Wednesday night at Troy Memorial Stadium. Mowery had two assists in the game. cashing in on a corner kick as Dustin Lorenzo headed it in to make it a 1-1 game — and set up yet another dreaded tie.

“That word came back to me — how do we respond?” Phillips said.

“How do we respond to all of those matches we’ve had this season where we tied, where we thought we should have won?”

With 23:08 left in the

game, Troy responded in a big way.

Hampton sent a cross in front of the Sidney net that a defender picked off. And just like on Troy’s first goal, Deaton stole the ball, sized up his shot and drove it home to give Troy the lead.

And with 20:10 to go, Mowery hit a corner kick to the far side, and Schmitt dove in to get a head on it

and put it away — putting the game away in the process.

“We responded well, we played well, we played hard — and we played smart,” Phillips said. “We didn’t just knock the ball around. We did what we needed to do to get the result that we did.”

• Division II District MIAMISBURG — Covington senior Cassie Ingle couldn’t have hit the ball any better — but a balky putter that included three four putts brought an end to her outstanding career Wednesday at the Division II District tournament at Pipestone Golf Course.

Ingle, amking her fourth straight district appearance, led Covington to an eighth-place finish with a 415 total after shooting 89.

She was just two-over par after seven holes, before her putting began to take its toll.

Miller gave up a two-out bloop single to Wilson Valdez in the sixth to end his no-hit bid. He struck out seven, walked two and allowed just one hit over six innings.

defense, and solid-play by goalie Amanda Blakley.

Blakley had clutch save after clutch save for the Trojans. None of those saves were bigger than a diving stop on Sidney’s Morgan Knasel with 5:40 left in the first half — a save that may have been worth the price of admission. Blakley had another diving stop with just over a minute to play in the first, then another key save with 30 seconds left in the half.

From there on out, the Troy defense didn’t grant Sidney many quality looks on goal, finishing the game with a 15-8 shot advantage.

“You can’t overstate it enough how important our defense was tonight,” Rasey said. “Definitely over the last three or four games collectively. We’ve played really good forwards over the last three games.

(Courtney) Mazzulla played great tonight and (Natasha) Lucas locked down on the centerback, and of course Amanda had a couple big saves throughout.

“With either one of our keepers, I feel very comfortable. As a coach, knowing that you have good quality defenders, good quality goal keeping, you know you can make a few mistakes every now and then, and they are going to protect you. I knew we would win tonight’s game if we played good defense and if we executed when we had too. I was proven right.”

Cards top Reds, wrap Tennis up last playoff spot ST. LOUIS (AP) — Rookie right-hander Shelby Miller took a no-hitter into the sixth inning in his first career start, Matt Carpenter had a run-scoring single and the St. Louis Cardinals beat the Cincinnati Reds 1-0 Wednesday night.

The Cardinals, who won 12 of their final 16 regularseason games, clinched the second NL wild card spot Tuesday and will face the Braves in Atlanta on Friday.

■ CONTINUED FROM 15 with the win. Troy was issued two yellow cards, which were given to key players on the team in Madison Burchfield and Leah Soutar. Three yellow cards were given in total, but that gives little indication to how physical and chippy the game really was on both sides.

“It hurt us a little bit with the cards,” Rasey said. “When you card one of my starting forwards early in the game, you kind of have to protect your players from that point. Obviously it hurt us a little bit having her out of the game without her throw (Soutar), and her and Madison play so well together on top. But the girls fought through it, and it was a well-earned win.”

Troy had a few shots miss narrowly early on, including a shot from just outside the goal box by Ashley Rector that hit the post five minutes into the game. When a corner kick was given to Troy, Copas was fouled in front of the net, setting up a key opportunity for the Trojans. Copas stepped up confidently and burned Sidney goalie Lindsey Sturwold for a 10 advantage.

“The composure from Kasey to step up and hit that, I mean, that’s what you need out of your seniors this late in the season,” Rasey said.

But what kept the Trojans in the game all night long was the

■ CONTINUED FROM 15 and Melinda McBride 7-5 in the first set and closed things out 6-0 in their first match, then swept Stebbins’ Rachel Hodge and Terra Armstrong 6-1, 6-2.

“They were up 4-1 in the first set (against Sidney) and lost a little concentration,” Goldner said. “But they got it back and played well.”

In singles action, Mayu Ohtsuka defeated Fairborn’s Riddhi Choksy 6-0, 6-2 then lost to Springfield’s Nadisha

Shelby Arnett lost to Springfield’s Saarah Khan 6-2, 6-2.

“Singles went about as far as we expected,” Goldner said. “Shelby played Springfield’s No. 2 player and played well.

Mayu got a win in the first round and had a good, long match against a tough Springfield player. And Kelly won a round then had to play the No. 3 seed.”

The semifinals begin at 9 p.m. Saturday at Troy Community Park.
