Obama issues jobs challenge Tells Congress to unite or be ‘run out of town’ WASHINGTON (AP) — A combative President Barack Obama challenged a divided Congress on Thursday to unite behind his jobs bill or get ready to be run “out of town” by angry voters. Hoping to use public frustration and economic worry as leverage, he called his proposal an insurance plan against a painful return to recession.

In a news conference long on restatements of his ideas, Obama laid bare the dynamic that now is Washington: The era of compromise is over. over getting Frustrated nowhere with Republicans, Obama demanded that they explain themselves to the country and promised to keep “hammering way until something gets done.”

Despite Obama’s taunts, Republicans showed no signs of switching positions. Instead, they pressed unsuccessfully for a symbolic vote later in the day so they could demonstrate their opposition to the bill the president submitted three weeks ago. They also predicted they would prevail next week when Democrats try to advance a reworked version, which Obama

supports, with a tax on millionaires. Speaking at a forum just about the same time as Obama, House Speaker John Boehner said the president had decided to “give up on governing, give up on leading.” Said Boehner: “We’re legislating. He’s campaigning.” Obama’s news conference marked a continuation of his

A rivalry renewed Troy, Piqua football teams to meet tonight BY DAVID FONG Executive Editor fong@tdnpublishing.com

Obama: Pakistan hedging its bets

The two towns are separated by a mere 8 miles — but never do they seem further apart than one week out of the year when the Troy football team takes on its rival from Piqua. At 7:30 p.m. tonight at Troy TROY Memorial Stadium, Troy and Piqua will renew hostilities for the 127th time. Troy leads the series 61-59-6. Before the war on the field, however, there was one final war of words as the Trojan players, coaches, cheerleaders, band members and fans gathered on Prouty Plaza in downtown Troy for the annual pep rally. “I think we’re in pretty good shape. I told the team to come wearing their jerseys, which they did. I told them not to see their girlfriends until after — which they did,” Troy football coach Steve Nolan said, adding a moment of levity and helping break up the gravitas. “I think we’re pretty focused. I’ve coached in a lot of these games — this will be my 29th Troy-Piqua game — and each game is a special one because of the two communities involved.”

President Barack Obama said Pakistan is “hedging its bets” by maintaining ties to militant groups that trying to undermine the government in neighboring Afghanistan, and acknowledged Thursday that the United States has been unable to persuade Pakistan that the U.S. goals of a stable Afghanistan poses no threat to Pakistan.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — A state appeals court struck down a Long Beach law regulating medical marijuana dispensaries, ruling the ordinance conflicts with federal law banning pot use. Legal experts told the Los Angeles Times the ruling may force cities across California to rewrite their medical marijuana ordinances. Long Beach had attempted to control the number of pot dispensaries by adopting an ordinance limiting permits to winners of a lottery, who were then charged a fee to operate. The ordinance was challenged by a dispensary that was ordered to close. A three-judge panel of the 2nd District Court of Appeal ruled Tuesday that the lottery system conflicts with federal law banning possession and distribution of marijuana. “This clearly falls into the category for the medical marijuana advocates of ‘be careful what you ask for,’ ” Robert E. Shannon, Long Beach city attorney, told the Times. He said it would be up to the City Council to decide whether to appeal or rewrite the ordinance. But he added, “The most logical thing to do is to ban that which we cannot regulate and permit.” Federal law bans the sale or possession of marijuana. California law only allows marijuana use for medical reasons. San Francisco, Oakland and other California cities control pot dispensaries through a permit process. Los Angeles is considering adopting a lottery system capping the number of dispensaries at 100. Assistant City Attorney Jane Usher said she plans to discuss the Long Beach ruling with her City Council. “Our provisions, which are registration and not a permit, are a step away from what Long Beach did, but it’s a small step away,” she said. Joe Elford, chief counsel for the medical marijuana advocacy group Americans for Safe Access, said the ruling “creates a fair amount of uncertainty” about the future of pot dispensaries. “Obviously, it’s not a decision we’re happy about,” he said.

Shelby County Sheriff suspended BY KATHY LEESE For Ohio Community Media

SIDNEY

Shelby County Sheriff Dean A. Kimpel has temporarily stepped down from his duties in a move that was precedent setting, since it is reportedly the first time in the state of Ohio a sheriff has been suspended using an Ohio law. The Shelby County Commissioners were scheduled to meet in emergency session early today to name an interim replacement. Miami County Prosecutor Gary Nasal, who is special prosecutor in the Kimpel cases in Auglaize and Shelby counties, had filed a request with the Ohio Supreme Court and the Ohio Attorney General’s office, requesting Kimpel be suspended from office, under Ohio Revised Code 3.16. Kimpel’s attorney, Michael filed a document Rumer, Thursday morning in Auglaize County Common Pleas Court in Wapakoneta consenting to his removal from office pending the outcome of a felony sexual battery case filed against him in that county. Kimpel was indicted by an Auglaize County grand jury on Sept. 20 on a felony sexual battery charge for allegedly having sex with former Deputy Jodi Van Fossen when she was intoxicated and unable to give consent. The sexual battery charge is a thirddegree felony, which led to the

suspension. Kimpel was arrested on the sexual battery charges on Sept. 21 and taken to the Auglaize County Jail, where a bond of $100,000 was set and Kimpel was released after posting 10 percent of that amount, or $10,000. If convicted, the sexual battery charge is punishable by up to five years in prison and/or a $10,000 fine. Kimpel was indicted last week by a Shelby County grand jury on five counts of unauthorized use of the Ohio Law Enforcement Gateway program, used by law enforcement for background checks. He allegedly used the system to run checks on people for personal reasons not associated with his law enforcement duties. Kimpel appeared for arraignment Wednesday on the OHLEG charges and entered a not guilty plea. He was released on an own recognizance bond. If Kimpel is convicted, he faces up to 12 months in jail on each charge. According to Auglaize County Common Pleas Court documents, Kimpel’s consent to the suspension was filed with the Auglaize County Common Pleas Court Thursday morning at 8:07 a.m. and was signed by Judge Frederick Pepple. Under the suspension order, Kimpel is suspended until he

NEW CARLISLE — A Fletcher man fell 18-feet to his death while building a home near New Carlisle Thursday, according to Miami County Sheriff’s Office reports. According to reports, Gerald Bowman, 50, of Fletcher, fell from the second story of a home under construction, landing on the concrete pad below late Thursday afternoon. Miami County deputies are still investiwhat caused gating Bowman to fall from the construction site, located in the 2200 block of Dayton-Brandt Road, near New Carlisle. According to reports, other construction workers at the site did not witness the fall. Miami County Coroner Dr. Bruce Nordquist pronounced Bowman dead at the scene.

“enters a plea of guilty to or is found guilty of the felony with which he is charged.” The order states that Kimpel will retain the title of Shelby County sheriff until his case is completed and he will continue to be paid while on suspension. If he is found innocent of the charges in Auglaize County, Kimpel would return to office. However, Nasal said he could file for another order of suspension if the Shelby County case has not been resolved. The order states that Kimpel “shall not exercise any of the rights, powers, or responsibilities of the holding of that office.” Under the order, an interim sheriff is to be appointed. A copy of the order is to be filed with the Ohio Supreme Court, according to Nasal, who spoke about his decision to request Kimpel’s suspension. “I believe that the alleged conduct was related to the administration of the office and that the interim suspension would be in everyone’s best interest,” Nasal said. “I don’t have a clue,” Nasal said, as to why Kimpel agreed to the suspension. “We filed the notice …. shortly thereafter, his (Kimpel’s) attorney notified me that he (Kimpel) would not be fighting the suspension. As a result, we drafted a consent agreement signed by all the parties and filed pursuant to statute.” If Kimpel is convicted, Nasal

said, he will be required to pay back the salary he received during his suspension.” I would say this is the most serious offense I have ever brought against a public official,” Nasal said. Shelby County Prosecutor Ralph Bauer said that as part of the process, “the (Shelby County) Commissioners have to meet in open session and make a decision” regarding who will serve as interim sheriff. Bauer said there are “two eligible candidates” for interim Sheriff and he said those candidates are John R. Lenhart, a Republican, who announced recently that he is running for Shelby County sheriff in the 2012 election and Scott A. Evans, a Democrat, who is considering running for sheriff. The commissioners were to meet in emergency session at 9 a.m. today to choose an interim sheriff. “I hate to see it come to this, but I think it’s in the best interest of the county to move forward,” said Commissioner Julie Ehemann. Ehemann said both Lenhart and Evans were asked to be present for the emergency meeting and prepared for one of them to be sworn in “immediately.” Lt. Det. James Frye of the Shelby County Sheriff’s Office said, “the sheriff is under suspension pursuant to an Auglaize County Common Pleas Court order. The office of sheriff will continue to function as usual protecting the citizens of Shelby County.”

Jobs • CONTINUED FROM A1 recent feistiness, and his party’s pre-election-year attempt to depict Republicans as protectors of the rich at the expense of the jobless. Obama plans to keep it up through his campaign as he seeks a second term amid persistently high unemployment. Lamenting political gamesmanship, Obama defended his own tactic of campaigning for a jobs bill that appears to have no chance of passing as it is. When asked about his willingness to negotiate to help the millions of unemployed, he said he had gone out of his way every time with Republicans, to little avail. “The question, then, is, will Congress do something?” the president said. “If Congress does something, then I can’t run

against a do-nothing Congress. If Congress does nothing, then it’s not a matter of me running against them. I think the American people will run them out of town, because they are frustrated.” Obama conceded that voters have grown deeply exasperated and cynical, and he put the responsibility largely on Congress as unresponsive to public opinion. At one point Obama even told his media questioners to accept a “little homework assignment” and “go ask Republicans what their jobs plan is.” The political positioning came with the American economy weakening and at a risk of sinking as a consequence of Europe’s debt crisis. Nearly one-third of the unemployed people in the United States almost 4.5 million people have been out of work for a year or more. Obama would not say whether he agreed with Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke’s warning this week that the econom-

ic recovery “is close to faltering.” The president said the country stands to face deeper problems without action, particularly if a payroll tax cut and unemployment benefits are not extended. He has presented a $447 billion plan to jolt the economy by cutting taxes and increasing spending on schools, roads and other public projects. He has proposed covering the cost of that, and therefore avoiding another pile of public debt, in part by raising taxes on wealthier people and corporations. It is likely Congress will eventually pass Obama’s proposal to extend and expand the Social Security payroll tax cuts that took effect on Jan. 1, the costliest part of the overall jobs plan. Other elements could also clear Congress by the end of the year, including a renewal of unemployment benefits. Yet Republicans strongly oppose Obama’s proposed spending and also

are against raising taxes on anyone. Giving a bit of ground on his own plan, Obama endorsed a new proposal by Senate Democrats to tax millionaires not households making $250,000 or more to pay for his jobs program. “If the goal is to create jobs, then why are we even talking about tax hikes?” said Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky. Republicans also shrugged off Obama’s complaints that they have not explained their opposition or proposed alternatives, saying they had done both. About 392,000 households would get hit by the Senate Democrats’ proposed 5.6 percent tax on income above $1 million, according to an analysis by the Tax Policy Center, a Washington think tank. In 2013, the first year the tax would take effect, those households would see their taxes increase by an average of $110,500, according to the analysis. Obama’s session with reporters centered on economic themes. He was also pressed to defend his administration’s handling of two matters: a multimillion-dollar federal loan guarantee to a solar company that now has declared bankruptcy, and a Justice Department program aimed at building cases against major weapons traffickers in Mexico that lost track of numerous guns.

In Our View

PERSPECTIVE

Troy Daily News Editorial Board FRANK BEESON / Group Publisher DAVID FONG / Executive Editor

“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 Dallas Morning News on Congress: Most members of Congress were probably high achievers in school. But, as a group, they have a serious deadline problem. Congress’ inability to get things done — and done on time — is creating grave risks for the country. The nation teetered on the brink of default in early August because Democrats and Republicans couldn’t agree on whether to raise the debt ceiling. At the last minute, they brokered a deal — but one that largely postponed the problem. Just eight weeks later, Washington’s procrastinating again. The Senate approved a stopgap spending bill that would keep the government open until mid-November. For a while, it looked as though even that wouldn’t get done because of a battle over how to fund federal disaster relief. Even in normal times, Congress has a hard time meeting deadlines. The nonpartisan No Labels group released a report showing that only twice in the last 25 years has Capitol Hill passed all its yearly spending bills on time. But these aren’t normal times. The failure to govern carries greater risks now. As the folks at No Labels put it, “Missed deadlines and petty arguments are unacceptable for elected officials tasked with pulling our nation out of an economic crisis.” We have a $14 trillion debt, a stalled economy and vanishing consumer confidence. And what is Washington doing? Arguing over how to pay for disaster relief and postponing spending bills. The stakes are high for Congress in November. Not only must lawmakers finalize those appropriation bills for 2012, but the debt supercommittee must approve an additional $1.5 trillion in savings by Nov. 23. If the bipartisan group, created in August as part of the debt ceiling compromise, can’t come to agreement, automatic cuts will be triggered across parts of the government. Like all Americans, we expect robust debates. But leaders must do more than preen off talking points. They need to govern. Los Angeles Times on the Occupy Wall Street protests: The pundit class has largely ignored, dismissed or mocked the Occupy Wall Street protest. We too find it hard to get especially worked up over a series of small demonstrations in a handful of cities, including Los Angeles, involving mostly disaffected people who have trouble expressing what it is they’re against. But isn’t that how the “tea party” started out? The political left has been searching for the last couple of years to find an answer to the tea party. Some hoped last year’s rally in Washington led by TV comedians Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert, a response to right-wing rallies attended by such conservative media celebrities as Glenn Beck, would spark a national movement. That didn’t happen. Now they’re pinning their hopes on Occupy Wall Street, which in many ways is a mirror image of the tea party. Both groups are motivated by frustration over the rotten economy and are vague about causes and solutions, though if their positions could be summed up in a one-line manifesto, it might be: The tea party, dominated by elderly conservatives, blames government overspending and overreach for our economic problems and would therefore like to cut federal spending, while Occupy Wall Street, dominated by young liberals, blames corporate greed and would therefore like to tax the rich and decrease corporate political power. Republican voters turned out in big numbers in the 2010 elections while the Democratic vote was depressed, leading to the GOP takeover of the House of Representatives. A recent Gallup poll found Democratic enthusiasm for voting in 2012 is at its lowest level in a decade, trailing Republicans’ net enthusiasm by 27%. No one can say whether Occupy Wall Street will change that. But it would be a mistake to write off the movement before it gets started.

LETTERS

Please support Miami East levy To the Editor: Recently, I was sitting in a doctor’s office minding my own business when the person sitting beside me asked if I worked at Miami East. Wondering how she knew, I realized my name badge was vividly present for her to view. She proceeded to ask me if I taught there, and I proudly admitted I teach kindergarten and coach JV boys basketball at Miami East. The next statement from her is the reason I’m writing this letter: she said, “Aren’t you guys having trouble passing a levy?” I was taken back by her comment as I usually get, “I can’t believe you teach kindergarten,” or discussion regarding sports. The typical conversations about teaching or coaching are very easy to discuss with people I don’t know, but when it comes to the levy, I fairly quickly become uncomfortable. As I realize this is a matter of money, I can’t help but step back and take a non-employee per-

spective. I have lived in the district for 31 years (my whole life with the exception of a few college years), played sports, owned a business, attend church, teach and coach, and most importantly my son is a student at Miami East. I’m proud to call myself a Viking! We are a small community that consists of caring people who value education, student growth in academics and extracurricular activities, and are creating life-long learners who can achieve their dreams due to the values instilled in them while at Miami East. The purpose of this letter is simply to ask members of the Miami East school district to vote “Yes” in the upcoming November levy. Like many of you, I didn’t realize the seriousness of the levy and the effects it can have on education and extra-curricular activities. If the levy fails on Nov. 8, each athlete will have to pay $500-$600 per sport to play plus 10-15 staff members will be cut. How can we as members of the community enjoy football, basketball or other sporting events at Miami

East knowing that the athletes we are watching have had to pay to play? The levy is a replacement operating levy that will switch from a traditional income tax to a school district earned income tax. The district is requesting a 0.75 percent increase which would replace the current 1 percent traditional income tax. It would remove the current 1 percent traditional income tax and put on a 1.75 percent earned income tax. The biggest difference between traditional income tax and an earned income tax is that the earned income tax excludes interest, dividends, capital gains, pensions, etc. Ultimately, not passing a levy prevents our students from excelling in all areas of education. Is that something we as Miami East want to be known for? From the conversation I had with a complete stranger the other day, I would say we need to reclaim our identity and pass the levy!

DOONESBURY

How I ended up ‘caving’ in to field trip pressure Like many schools around the county and the state, my son’s school cut field trips due to strained budgets. Looking back, I can recall most of my school memories going on field trips, ranging from the Neil Armstrong Museum in Wapakoneta, the Cincinnati Zoo and COSI. And I now will apologize for all the horrible misbehavior that I caused on these trips: Sorry. I am so very, very sorry. And, for all my former teachers, the karma has returned. Evan had a day off school last week, so I decided these “waiver days” would be a perfect opportunity to take one of our own little “field trips.” I even enlisted Mr. Obvious to tag along with us once I found out he had never been to “The Granddaddy of all Field Trips” — Ohio Caverns. I was a little astonished when Mr. Obvious said he’d never been to the underground lairs of Champaign County. Heck, even Mr. Obvious’ parents had been to the caverns on school trips when they were kids. So last Friday, we loaded up on a cold, windy, fall day and headed to the beautiful hills of Champaign County. We weren’t alone on the tour — a mother and her teenage daughter from Columbus joined us,

Melanie Yingst Troy Daily News Columnist along with our tour guide. So as we started walking down the stairs to the caverns, Evan was a little frightened at the sight of a large steel door at the bottom of the stairs. “I don’t want to go down in the basement!” he said, as he ran back up the steps to the lobby. “Evan, it’s not a basement, it’s a cool cave,” I clamored for the right words to describe a dark, damp cavern that remains a steady 54 degrees year-round, regardless of the surface temperature and where the humidity is always above 90 percent. Hey, what can I say? I know my caverns facts! “There might be bats down there!” Assuring him there were no vampire bats, I resorted to bribery, and when that didn’t work, I just dragged all 60-pounds of him down the stairs (all 54 of them). If I had to carry him through the entire 2 miles of this

— Justin Roeth Troy

cavern myself, WE WILL MAKE GLORIOUS MEMORIES! Thankfully, the other two people and the tour guide were understanding. After about 20 minutes the scariness wore off. Well, until the tour guide politely asked if we wanted to experience “complete darkness.” Four out of the five of us wanted to experience complete darkness. Outnumbered, Evan covered his eyes so he unknowingly got the same affect. Oh, and then she showed us a bat. A tiny little bat asleep in the caverns. I couldn’t help but think how fast the tour went. When I was young it seemed like we were down in those caverns for hours. My favorite part was how the caverns were first discovered. For those of you who haven’t been to Ohio Caverns, in 1897 a farm boy noticed water disappearing rapidly in a field and decided to follow it to see where it was going and found the caverns. It sounds like something my dad would do. Like the time he found a field rock that wouldn’t budge. Dad got out his backhoe and started digging and digging. Days later, we went out and check out this enormous rock buried at least 80 feet deep in the field. After we checked out the big hole in the field, he filled it in. That’s the curiosity of a farmer and his field for you.

During the tour, Mr. Obvious and I couldn’t help but snicker a few times at the formations. I now know why teachers take students on this tour at a young age. Many of the stalagmites and stalactites look like, well, carrots. Huge white carrots. Including, the crown jewel of the Ohio Caverns — The Crystal King. Yep, that sure is one big 5-foot 200,000-year-old white crystal carrot for sure. Our imaginations are wild aren’t they? After surviving the tour, I shelled out a generous donation at the gift shop for magnetic rocks in a bag and a post card. Another field trip rite of passage, of course. I am saddened that field trips may be a distant memory for many kids. Although I know my son will get opportunities to go to great places, I often think of the children who may not get to go many places outside of these field trips. Many of the trips are their only chance in their young lives to see places that many of us take for granted. And if I could, I’d take each and every one of those kids to places like the Ohio Caverns myself. Even if I had to carry them on my back for 2 miles. “Twin” Melanie Yingstf appears on Fridays in the Troy Daily News. We had hoped she’d stay down in the cave.

OBITUARIES

GLADYS E. SCHMIESING

Monica Hutchinson places flowers for Steve Jobs outside of an Apple store in San Francisco, Thursday.

Jobs memorialized worldwide Tributes light up Twitter and iPhones Scott Robbins, 34, a barber from San Francisco and an Apple fan for nearly 20 years, said he came as soon as he heard the news. “To some people, this is like Elvis Presley or John Lennon it’s a change in our times,” Robbins said. “It’s the end of an era, of what we’ve known Apple to be. It’s like the end of the innovators.” Robbins said Jobs’ influence extended beyond the iPhone he now carries and the Mac products he has faithfully bought for years. He was a symbol of the technology revolution who opened the eyes of a generation to the possibilities of the digital computing. But the store wasn’t consumed by sadness. Inside, peppy music played and customers watched YouTube videos on iPhones. That they were consuming technology in ways that would have been unimaginable without Jobs may have been lost on many of them. In China, one of the company’s fastest growing markets, Henry Men Youngfan said he was shocked by the news that his hero had died. The 27-year-old doctoral student in Beijing bought his first Apple product in 2006 and traveled by train to Hong Kong in September just to attend the opening of the company’s first store there. When he entered graduate school at Peking University’s college of

“Today the world lost a visionary leader, the technology industry lost an iconic legend and I lost a friend and fellow founder,” said Dell Inc. founder and CEO Michael Dell. “For those of us lucky enough to get to work with Steve, it’s been an insanely great honor. I will miss Steve immensely,” said Microsoft cofounder Bill Gates. At an Apple Store in New York City, where a small collection of flowers and candles had started to form, Jacqueline Thuener-Rego, said Jobs has helped change how people think about their relationship with technology. “You don’t think of it as technology, you think of it as memories, experiences,” the 28-year-old actress from Brooklyn said. “It’s as integrated into your life as a cup of coffee. The technology has become the human experience.”

Character actor Napier dies at 75 BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (AP) — His granite jaw, toothy grin and steely stare were the tools that made Charles Napier one of the most recognizable actors movie and TV audiences never heard of. From the dim-witted country music star John Belushi flimflammed in “The Blues Brothers” movie to the scheming military intelligence officer who matched wits with Sylvester Stallone in “Rambo: First Blood II,” Napier appeared in scores of films and TV shows in a career spanning more than 40 years. He died Wednesday at age 75 at Bakersfield Memorial Hospital, his longtime friend Dennis Wilson told the Bakersfield Californian. The cause of death was not given. The actor, whose earliest roles included a memorable turn as a hippie wanderer searching for paradise in a classic 1960s “Star Trek” episode, continued to work until shortly before his death. He had a voice role in the animated series “Archer” earlier this year. In recent years he was a sheriff in an episode of “Monk,” a father on “Curb Your Enthusiasm” and a security guard on the children’s show “Ned’s Declassified School Survival Guide.” His voice was also heard on several episodes of “The Simpsons” as Officer Krackney and other characters. His favorite role was as the

Army in 1954. After earning a degree in art from Western Kentucky University, he worked at various jobs, including art teacher and basketball coach. (He had minored in physical education.) It was in graduate school at Western Kentucky in 1964 that he decided to try his hand at theater. He appeared in several local plays, including Shakespeare’s “Othello.” He eventually moved to Los Angeles, where he landed a small role on an episode of “Mission Impossible” in 1967. He eventually began appearing regularly in TV shows, including judge in “Philadelphia,” the 1993 “Hogan’s Heroes,” ”The Rockford film that won Tom Hanks a best Files,” ”Baretta,” ”The A-Team,” actor Oscar as an attorney stricken “Kojak,” ”Murder, She Wrote” and with HIV. numerous others.

MARIETTA, Ga. — Dale Keith Stump Sr., 70, of Marietta, Ga., formerly of Piqua, went to be with his Lord at 11 a.m. Monday, Oct. 3, 2011. He was born in Covington on April 4, 1941, to the late Clifford and Edna (Fessler) Stump. On June 27, 1969, in Piqua, he married Maxine J. Kerrigan. She preceded him in death Aug. 24, 2009. Dale is surSTUMP vived by four daughters and sons-in-law, Kim and Gene Bondurant of Atlanta, Ga., Lynne and Roger Bringmann of Austin, Texas, Robin and Steve Whetzel of Palmdale, Calif., and Beth Honaker of Harrodsburg, Ky.; one son, Dustin “Dusty” Stump of Columbus; one brother, Roger Stump of Tipp City; and grandchildren Brooke, Blake and Blair Bondurant, Carrie, Johnathan, Angela, Zachary and Zoe Bringmann, Allison, Haven and Jenna Honaker and McKinley, Keith and Oliver Stump. He was preceded in death by one son, Dale K. “Chip” Stump Jr.; four sisters and three brothers. Dale graduated from Covington High School in 1959. He remained close to many of his classmates. Dale valued their friendship more than words can express and looked forward to getting together with them as often as possible. He was a member of Piqua Baptist Church for many years. Dale was the regional state director for the National Child Safety Council, providing safety educational programs through law enforcement organizations to more than 200 school systems throughout Ohio for 30 years before retiring in 2002. He never felt this was work since he got to travel a great deal and made many wonderful friends. Dale was a self- proclaimed “auto racing aficionado.” He bought his first race car, a sportsman coupe, and began driving at age 28. Dale continued to drive from 1968-1973. He enjoyed what he classified as a “semi-successful”

career. Dale also was a successful race car owner, having owned three different cars and winning eight track championships. He sponsored and owned race cars over a span of 40 years. Dale took up driving again at the age of 51, but soon discovered that you lose all your reflexes as you get older. To quote Dale, “Auto racing is contagious once you’ve driven behind the wheel.” Some may not have been aware of his entrepreneurial endeavors, owning several businesses (i.e. Little Pro Miniature Golf courses) and being a promotional manager for the Cincinnati Reds baseball and Cincinnati Bengals football teams in their off season, as well as promoting the Harlem Globe Trotter’s community fundraising events. He always liked sports in general, especially Cincinnati Reds baseball, participating in baseball and softball (Piqua Merchants) most of his adult life. Dale had the privilege of meeting many of the ballplayers he grew up watching and reading about. Two things Dale never got to do that were on his “bucket list” were learning to skydive and learning to fly a plane. He loved to travel all over the United States with his family, including cruises to his favorite places such as Alaska, the Bahamas and Hawaii. Funeral services will be at 11 a.m. Tuesday, Oct. 11, 2011, at Covington Church of the Brethren with the Rev. Michael Yingst officiating. This is the church where Dale grew up and had begun his walk with his Lord. Burial will follow in Highland Cemetery, Covington. Friends may call from 6-8 p.m. Monday at Melcher-Sowers Funeral Home, Piqua. Memorial contributions may be made to American Diabetes Association, Southwest Ohio/Northern Kentucky Office, 8899 Brookside Ave. No. 2, West Chester, OH 45069. Condolences may be expressed to the family at www.melcher-sowers.com.

CHICAGO (AP) — There was no makeshift memorial or candlelight vigil for Steve Jobs at the Apple Store in downtown Chicago. The news of his death, and then the tributes and condolences, were in news alerts, tweets and messages pulsing through the gadgets inside. Peter O’Reilly knew something was wrong as shoppers perused iPhones, iPads and laptop computers Wednesday evening and an employee with a somber look start to cry. She told him the news. “I can’t imagine a world without Apple products,” said O’Reilly, a 33year-old electrician visiting from Ireland. Marks of respect soon flowed from around the world. “iSad” was a trending topic on Twitter. Mac Users Group Mexico released a statement that concluded, “Let’s breathe deeply and say VIVA STEVE JOBS!” There were more traditional tributes closer to Silicon Valley. People placed flowers and scrawled chalk messages in front of the gates of Jobs’ Palo Alto home, where family and friends gathered. Someone wrote “Thank you Steve” in lipstick on the window of an Apple Store in Santa Monica. At the San Francisco Apple Store in Union Square, a crowd started forming. A few dabbed their eyes. Others huddled in small groups around their iPhones reading the details of Jobs’ passing.

It wasn’t just a dream Troy woman gets picked to meet Susan Boyle BY KATIE YANTIS Staff Writer kyantis@tdnpublishing.com

Troy resident Lou Ann Griman said she didn’t even know who Susan Boyle was, but became a fan one day when she saw her on TV one day flipping through channels.

Troy resident Lou Ann Griman talks with Susan Boyle during a recent trip to New York City. She said the whole process was somewhat of a whirlwind. “We couldn’t tell anyone and it was suppose to be a secret because they didn’t want the press there,” Griman said. “It had to be spur of the moment and you had to be able to go like now. We didn’t have a specific date until the last minute.” Griman said when she got word of when the event would take place, she packed her bags, booked a flight and was off to the Big Apple. At first, Griman said she couldn’t even believe she was on her way to meet the singing sensation. “I guess when I knew it was really going to happen was when she actually came into the room because you could hear her laugh. She has a very distinctive laugh,” Griman said. “She was coming up the steps and that is when I knew she was really going to be there. Once I heard her laugh, I thought ‘she’s really here.’” Griman said Boyle walked into the room with a smile on her face and a hug for everyone present. “She forgot she hugged me once and then she hugged me again,” Griman said. “I saw Gerald Ford once from a long distance, but other than that, I’ve never met a famous person in my life.” From first impressions, Griman said she was exactly the way she envisioned Boyle would be, only a little shorter. “You kind of picture her as being this

robust lady, but she is a tiny little squirt,” Griman said. “She is a hugger and I just got a big kick out of her. She has a very thick Scottish accent, but she is fun.” The tides turned however, when Griman began speaking with Boyle. “What was odd was when she thought I had an accent,” Griman said. “No one thinks they have an accent, I didn’t. But she said ‘Indeed you do.’ I don’t think she had a difficult time understanding what I was saying.” During the meet-and-greet, Griman said Sony also allowed the Boyle’s “20 biggest fans” to get a sneak peak of her latest album — to be released in November. She said all electronic devices were taken away and the room was closed off prior to the sneak peek. Overall, the few minutes Griman said she had one-on-one with the star were great. She said meeting someone so down to earth was the best part. “I think she is just a person who wants to be herself,” Griman said. “I think what she is trying to tell people is to be true to yourself and be who you are.” On the plane ride back to Ohio, Griman said she got her camera out to refresh the not-so-distant memory to make sure it all happened. Griman said it was real, she did meet Susan Boyle in New York City and as she said she didn’t just “dream a dream.”

AP MOVIE REVIEWS DIRTY GIRL: “Elvira” by The Oak Ridge Boys was a hit in 1981. Pat Benatar’s “Shadows of the Night” came out in 1982. “Lovergirl” was a hugely popular song for Teena Marie in 1985. And “I Can’t Wait” by Nu Shooz was all over the radio in 1986. Why does this matter? Because these are among the many songs that appear prominently in a movie that’s set in 1987. And yes, we’re being nitpicky, but the soundtrack calls such attention to itself — and is so distractingly off in a movie that’s trying to capture an exact moment in time — that it’s a reflection of how scattershot the film is as a whole. And given that first-time writer-director Abe Sylvia is a former Broadway dancer and choreographer, and that he cast not one but two country superstars in crucial supporting roles, music is obviously very important to him. Sylvia does infuse his film with a flamboyantly cheeky theatricality, from the opening titles to the obligatory road-trip sing-along. But this vibe contrasts jarringly with the film’s more earnest coming-of-age moments, as two teenage misfits find confidence in their unexpected new friendship. Juno Temple seems game for anything, though, in the title role. She plays Danielle, the most notoriously promiscuous student at her Norman, Okla., high school, whose rebellious ways land her in a remedial class. There, she’s forced to team up on a parenting project with the chubby, closeted Clarke (newcomer Jeremy Dozier). Both have daddy issues, which prompts them to hop in a car and drive to Fresno, Calif. R for sexual content including graphic nudity, and for language. 89 minutes. Two stars out of four. — Christy Lemire, AP Movie Critic THE HUMAN CENTIPEDE 2 (FULL SEQUENCE): Whether or not you could stomach seeing the original “Human Centipede,” you surely know what it was about. A mad German scientist abducts three people and stitches them together in a chain on all fours, anus to mouth, to form one long digestive tract. Things do not exactly turn out the way he planned. It gained justified notoriety but at least it had artistic merit. With the sequel, everything is gratuitous. Everything seems intended for shock value. It’s hard to imagine what other possible intention writer-director Tom Six might have had this time around. It’s as if he’s saying: OK, horror fans, you say you can’t get enough? You say you haven’t seen it all, that you haven’t been sufficiently grossed out, that all possible taboos haven’t been explored? Well, here you go. Have at it. Enjoy. By making his killer a disgusting, socially stunted British horror nerd who’s obsessed with the original film, Six ostensibly seems to be saying: He is you. He’s the worst of you. Or maybe he’s satirizing the misguided notion that movies like this inspire copycat crimes. It’s hard to tell whether he means to titillate his audience or to mock it. And after a while, it’s hard to care. The tubby, sweaty, diminutive Martin (played by Laurence Harvey without a single word of dialogue) doesn’t just watch the first film all day on his laptop at his thankless parkinggarage job. He wants to recreate it. And three people aren’t enough for him. He wants to build a human centipede with a dozen people — which grows boring and repetitive. Not rated but contains copious amounts of graphic violence, language, nudity and disturbing subject matter. 88 minutes. One and a half stars out of four. — Christy Lemire, AP Movie Critic

Tom Rogers, Dave Pottenger and Alisha McDarris act out a scene in this weekend’s show “The Best Laid Plans.” Vandalia resident and passionate theater devotee, McDarris puts her acting skills to good use in “The Best Laid Plans.” According to the seasoned actress, the show offers audiences a oneway ticket to wackiness. “This is a really funny, bizarre, crazy, comedic show,” McDarris said. “It’s hilarious. We just laugh through every rehearsal. All of the lines are funny. It’s family-friendly. It will appeal to everybody.” McDarris plays Phoebe Kraxley, a sophisticated woman with the looks of a model straight out of Vogue magazine. According to McDarris, the character of Kraxley is a particularly

crafty one who knows how to get what she wants.. Commenting on her character, McDarris said, “She’s sly. She’s very slick.” Like her mother, McDarris derides dull and predictable theatre fare. The Vandalian actress stated that, in addition to being an interesting part with interesting things to do, her role provides her with an opportunity to the explore the nuances of another dialect. “I like doing fun characters,” McDarris said. “I don’t like doing boring characters. I like this one because I get to do a Russian. I love to do accents.” McDarris is no stranger

to the stage, as is evidenced by her lengthy résumé. The veteran thespian has done other productions with the West Milton Players, including “Oliver” and “Oklahoma.” During high school, McDarris performed in all of the spring plays. In recent years, she has acted with Mayhem and Mysteries, a Dayton-based theater company specializing in murder mysteries with audience participation. “That sort of theater keeps me on my toes,” McDarris said. “You really sharpen your improvisational skills.” According to McDaris, theatre has always held a singular appeal for her. “I just think it’s so much fun,” McDarris said. “It’s so much fun to get on stage and pretend you’re another person. I especially like comedies because you get to be ridiculous and make people laugh. I love it when people laugh at me.” Of course, McDarris isn’t alone in this production. The Vandalia resident is joined by nine other actors in show, including her husband, Josh. Josh plays Guy Parett, a polite and courteous pre-med student that tends to worry too much. McDarris stated that, while he is a virtual neophyte when it comes to theatre, Josh has boasted some serious acting chops during the rehearsals. “His acting experience is quite limited, but he’s actually very good at it,” McDarris said. “My mom and I convinced him to be in this. Once he was on stage, he started to think, ‘Oh yeah! Acting is fun!’” McDarris and her hubby are the only theatrically adept actors on the cast. The play also features the

skills of Dave Pottenger, Katie Paeg, Dave Nickel, Brian Wilgus, Jimmy Rogers, Beth Bengough, Tom Rogers and Kathy Campbell. According to McDaniel, the entire cast has talent to burn. “The cast is great,” McDaniel said. “We’ve got so many experienced actors in this show. They’re all very good at remembering their comings and goings. There are many doors and many entrances, and many people on stage at the same time. So, it’s been a challenge, but they’ve really tackled it with enthusiasm. They’re all energetic. They listen closely. It’s been a pleasure to work with them.” McDaniel stated that, ultimately, audiences will fall in love with the escapist humor of “The Best Laid Plans.” “It’s just a fun show,” McDaniel said. “You get to forget about the problems of the day and laugh.” The show will run on today through Saturday at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday at 3 p.m. “The Best Laid Plans” will be performed at the historic and newly remodeled Overlook Park facility on 444 N. Miami St., West Milton. Admission is $8. For more information, contact McDaniel at 335-2554. 2225168

TODAY IN HISTORY (AP) — Today is Friday, Oct. 7, the 280th day of 2011. There are 85 days left in the year. The Jewish Day of Atonement, Yom Kippur, begins at sunset. Today’s Highlight in History: On Oct. 7, 2001, the current war in Afghanistan started as the United States and Britain launched air attacks against military targets and Osama bin Laden’s training camps in the wake of the Sept. 11 attacks. Speaking from the White House,

President George W. Bush said, “We will not waver, we will not tire.” On this date: • In 1777, the second Battle of Saratoga began during the American Revolution. (British forces under Gen. John Burgoyne surrendered ten days later.) • In 1858, the fifth debate between Illinois senatorial candidates Abraham Lincoln and Stephen Douglas took place in Galesburg.

• In 1910, a major wildfire devastated the northern Minnesota towns of Spooner and Baudette, charring at least 300,000 acres. Some 40 people are believed to have died. • Today’s Birthdays: Retired South African Archbishop Desmond Tutu is 80. Comedian Joy Behar (TV: “The View”) is 69. Former National Security Council aide Oliver North is 68. Rock musician Kevin Godley (10cc) is 66. Actress Jill Larson (TV: “All My Children”) is 64.

Corbett urges hearings on flooding lessons PINE GROVE, Pa. (AP) — Gov. Tom Corbett called on the House and Senate to hold hearings into the catastrophic flooding that devastated towns throughout central and eastern Pennsylvania last month, saying he’d like them to focus on what can be done to reduce the odds of a repeat. “I want to take a thorough look. I think the House and Senate can help,” Corbett said Thursday in Pine Grove, where he toured flood damage. “I think some hearings on what we need to do to address this on a holistic aspect would be good to have here during the course of the fall and the winter.” Corbett surmised that intensive development and a lack of maintenance of storm drains may have contributed to the severity of the flooding caused by the remnants of Hurricane Irene and Tropical Storm Lee. Thousands of homes and businesses were damaged or destroyed. “I think we have to take a look at how developments are made, and how much water is running down into streams that frankly wasn’t running down into streams maybe 10, 15, 30 years ago,” Corbett said. “We

Gov. Tom Corbett exits an STS trolley near Pine Grove Homes inc., as he toured the areas affected by September flooding Thursday, Oct. 6, 2011 in Pine Grove, Pa. have to do a little bit better planning.” Corbett boarded a trolley to view damaged homes and businesses, jumping out to speak with flooded business owners

like Wayne Fanelli, president and chief executive of Pine Grove Manufactured Homes Inc., which has been flooded five times since 1993. This time, the water reached

to within a few inches of the ceiling in Fanelli’s office. “So what are your plans?” Corbett asked. “We’re closing,” Fanelli said, though nearly all of his employ-

ees were offered jobs at a sister company. Mayor Kim Brown-Zerbe, who led the tour, pressed Corbett to accelerate the removal of gravel and debris that accumulates under four state-owned bridges in the borough. “The gravel islands underneath the bridges have grown to 50 feet in each direction. So it has to be done more often,” she said in an interview. “The bridges are where it comes over first.” She also told Corbett the federal government needs to swiftly approve millions of dollars in aid to hard-hit municipalities to fund repairs to roads, bridges and other public infrastructure. “At this point we have bills rolling in that the borough is not going to be able to pay them straight-out,” she said. Corbett agreed, saying the blow to state, county and municipal coffers has been severe. He cautioned the state’s financial ability to help flooded counties and towns is limited. “Even if we get 60 percent (from the federal government), where do we get the other 40 percent? We’re going to be looking for money,” he said.

Obama: Pakistan hedges bets with ties to militants WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama said Pakistan is “hedging its bets” by maintaining ties to militant groups that trying to undermine the government in neighboring Afghanistan, and acknowledged Thursday that the United States has been unable to persuade Pakistan that the U.S. goals of a stable Afghanistan poses no threat to Pakistan. Obama did not echo the harsh assessment of his former chief military adviser that Pakistan has directly contributed to a militant attack on the U.S. embassy in Kabul. Obama said the U.S. would “constantly evaluate” its relationship with Pakistan to see whether it

was advancing American interests. Having given Pakistan more than $20 billion in aid since 9/11, Americans are increasingly questioning the value of assistance that has yet to yield a more OBAMA willing partner in the fight against Islamic extremist groups fighting U.S. troops in Afghanistan. “I think that they have hedged their bets, in terms of what Afghanistan would look like. And part of hedging their bets is having interactions with some of the unsavory characters who they think might end up regaining power in

Afghanistan after coalition forces have left,” Obama said. A few days before leaving his job last month, Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Adm. Mike Mullen called the Talibanaffiliated Haqqani insurgent network a “veritable arm” of the Pakistani intelligence agency, and alleged direct support for the militants who had mounted a 20-hour rocket attack on the U.S. embassy in Kabul the week before. The United States wants to “transition out of Afghanistan and leave a stable government behind one

that is independent, one that is respectful of human rights, one that is democratic,” Obama told a news conference, a reference to the plan to withdraw U.S. and other international forces by 2015. But he added: “Pakistan, I think, has been more ambivalent about some of our goals there.” The president’s assessment in many ways reflected long-standing U.S. concerns over perceived Pakistani duplicity in the fight against terrorists and Talibanlinked insurgents. After more than a decade of inconsistent counterterrorism cooperation, and the revelation that Osama bin Laden was living unmolested in a military town near Islamabad, Washington’s

suspicions have only grown deeper. “There is no doubt that there’s some connections that the Pakistani military and intelligence services have with certain individuals that we find troublesome,” Obama said He said the U.S. was trying to bring the two neighbors closer together, “but we’ve still got more work to do.” While the U.S. has suspended some military assistance to Pakistan, Obama rejected the idea that the U.S. would withhold humanitarian aid for disasters such as floods “because of poor decisions by their intelligence services.” He conceded that Americans are “not going to

feel comfortable with a longterm strategic relationship with Pakistan if we don’t think that they’re mindful of our interests as well,” but stressed that his administration has made great strides in its No. 1 job in Pakistan: fighting al-Qaida. In elaborating his argument, he avoided any mention of the U.S. operation that killed bin Laden in May, and the Pakistani anger it has prompted, saying only that American successes in the border region between Pakistan and Afghanistan could not have been possible without Pakistani support. “On a whole range of issues, they have been an effective partner with us,” Obama noted.

Big 12 invites TCU to join AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — After more than a year of watching their league get picked apart, leaders of Big 12 Conference finally made a proactive move Thursday by voting to add TCU as early as next season. It was the first aggressive act by a league desperate to secure its membership amid dramatic shifts in conference affiliation. And if the Horned Frogs join the Big 12, it would be another sharp blow to the Big East, which was expecting to welcome TCU next season.

sure that our guys know a whole bunch about that because it still comes down to what they do on the football field. But a new atmosphere, a new stadium, all of those kinds of things are things they’re excited about.” Ohio State is rarely a decided underdog, no matter who it is playing or where. But the oddsmakers have established the Cornhuskers as an 11-

point favorite. “Underdog, overdog, whatever the projection is that’s other people’s opinions,” Sweat said. “All we can control is going out and playing hard and having a great game plan and executing it. That will take care of itself.” Visiting Memorial Stadium is just another highlight to put in the scrapbook, another spot to say you’ve visited. And

that’s even before the game unfolds. “This is one of the reasons why it’s fortunate that they are in the Big Ten now because this is what you sign up for,” Haynes said. “Our guys are excited about going there, because they know it’s going to be a great atmosphere. I’m excited too. This is one of the core places. To have an opportunity to go and play there is awesome.”

And Mitchell (Shroyer) and Sam (Dean) both were solid for us.” And, while it couldn’t have known it at the time, it would be a 12-foot birdie putt by Thieman on the par-5 ninth on the Valley View nine to close the round that would be the difference in first and second. “We can go ahead and say I knew I needed to make it for the win,” Thieman said with a laugh. “Actually, I did think it was

Still, making the school’s first trip to Nebraska is also a big deal for Ohio State. “It’s huge not just for us as a team, but also for our entire school, our fan base,” Fickell said. “This is something new. New things are obviously exciting. I’m not

TCU Chancellor Victor Boschini Jr. suggested TCU is all but ready to join the Big 12. “These discussions with the Big 12 have huge implications for TCU,” Boschini said. “It will allow us to return to old rivalries, something our fans and others have been advocating for years. As always, we must consider what’s best for TCU and our studentathletes in this everchanging landscape of collegiate athletics. We look forward to continuing these discussions with the Big 12.”

Lockout hitting cities hard CLEVELAND (AP) — Across the street from Quicken Loans Arena, a building that rocks and rolls from November until April as home to the Cavaliers, reality is posted on a wall. Harry Buffalo is one of the downtown restaurants in Cleveland that counts heavily on the beer-drinking, burger-devouring NBA crowd to keep its doors open. Operations manager John Adams has taped an internet report outside the kitchen for his waitresses, bartenders and cooks to read. With yellow highlighter, he’s shaded the grim news of the NBA labor impasse for his employees, some of whom may soon lose their jobs if there’s no deal. This is where the lockout hits home, and hits hardest. “It’s rough,” Adams said, glancing toward The Q. “I’ve got three single moms on my wait staff and two single dads in the kitchen. I’ve got their 11 children to think about. It’s painful when it’s out of my control, when I have to put the business first and say I can’t have 15 servers on staff because we don’t have the business.” This week, the NBA canceled its preseason. On Monday, Commissioner David Stern may wipe out the first two weeks of the regular season if his millionaire players and even wealthier owners can’t agree on how to split revenue and cap salaries. Sure, players are temporarily out of work and will have to find ways to maintain their skills. But Kobe Bryant has the luxury of potentially signing with an Italian team to do that, earning a big salary until the labor unrest settles. Others aren’t as fortunate. The loss of one game, let alone 10 or maybe all 82, will have a devastating impact on workers with jobs dependent on pro basketball’s six-month-plus season. A few teams have already trimmed their staffs and more layoffs could be forthcoming if the discussions drag on. Then there are those who don’t work directly for an NBA team but who still depend on the excitement the league brings to town. Ushers, security personnel, parking lot attendants, concession workers, restaurant employees and others all stand to have their hours cut or join the country’s 14 million unemployed. “Yeah, financially, I’m worried,” said waitress

In this photo taken Oct. 5, Caitlin Cassidy, manager of Harry Buffalo, sits at a table with the Quicken Loans Arena, where the NBA basketball team Cleveland Cavaliers play, in the background, in Cleveland. Jeannette Lauersdorf, a single mother of two, who on a quiet Wednesday afternoon is serving six guests at three tables inside Harry Buffalo. On a night the Cavs are playing, the place has a 30-minute wait for a table. “We’ve got bills to pay.” Nerves, already frayed in a depressed economy, are unraveling. As it was during the NFL’s labor dispute, certain cities around the league will bear more of a burden than others until the NBA gets bouncing again. Markets like Orlando, Memphis, Salt Lake City and Portland, with no other income being generated by a major professional sports franchise, could be facing a long winter. At this point, there’s no telling how long the lockout will last, but NBA deputy commissioner Adam Silver projected losses if the season’s opening two weeks are canceled in “the millions of dollars.” “We’ve spent a lot of time with our teams walking through those scenarios of lost games,” Silver said. “The damage is enormous, will be enormous.” While Cleveland may be undergoing a minor renaissance with new construction, including a downtown casino being built by a group headed by Cavs owner Dan Gilbert, unemployment remains high. There’s a thriving one-block strip of East Fourth Street, where upscale eateries lure guests no matter the time of year. But closer to the Q, some bars and restaurants are still recovering from the financial aftershock caused by superstar LeBron James leaving. When James was with

the Cavs, the Gateway District crawled with fans, some of whom bought season tickets in 2009 for last season under the assumption their favorite player would stay in Cleveland. But now that he’s in Miami, and the Cavs are no longer a title contender, fans aren’t flocking downtown. “Even if there is a season, I think we’re going to take a hit,” said Caitlin Cassidy, manager at Harry Buffalo. “People love the Cavs, but they love the Cavs more when they’re winning. Even last year, people who had season tickets didn’t come all the time. Cleveland fans are a special breed. They come down and watch the Cavs and drink beer and hang out, but it’s definitely not been the same without LeBron.” Memphis could experience a similar dropoff if the lockout deepens. A young team on the upswing, the Grizzlies captivated the city last spring with its playoff run. Fans poured out of sold-out FedEx Forum and into the Beale Street entertainment area to toast each postseason win, and there’s hope similar celebrations will take place this April, May and maybe into June. The team reports season-ticket sales are up. But tickets have no value without a season. “We have a franchise we feel is locked and loaded to be very competitive for the next four, five, six years barring injuries,” said Kevin Kane, president and CEO of the Memphis Convention and Visitors Bureau. “We’ve got a product the city’s really excited about, the city’s engaged with.” Orlando’s situation is different.

In February, the Magic are slated to host NBA AllStar Weekend, an international event projected to bring $100 million to the city. But the lockout’s uncertain endgame is delaying plans from being finalized, and already local businesses are scrambling to help offset losses if more games are canceled at yearold Amway Arena. Owners of upscale Draft Global Beer Lounge and Grill, which opened across from Amway in March, fear it could be a tough season ahead. “The economic impact would be detrimental,” coowner Willie Fisher said. “This location is one of the main reasons we chose this location.” During the winter, Utah fans eat up the Jazz and Crown Burgers. From the parking lot of his restaurant, Mike Katsanevas can see the edge of EnergySolutions Arena, home of the Jazz. Katsanevas, whose family has been selling burgers, including one crowned with pastrami, for three decades, estimates a lost NBA season would offset his business by 25 to 30 percent and not just this season. Katsanevas predicts fans won’t renew their season tickets. He survived the last work stoppage in 1999, but times are different. “People were upset and had a right to be. Everybody needs to be paid for their jobs,” he said. “But how much money do you need to make? Let’s be honest here. Everybody else is suffering (in this economy). I don’t want to bad-mouth players or the owners, but how much money do these guys really need to keep making?”

Lebanon 3, Troy 0 LEBANON — One bad string at the end of the first game was all it took. And while Troy remained competitive all night in its Greater Western Ohio Conference tournament pool play finale at Lebanon Thursday, the Warriors kept balls alive, kept the Trojans in lessthan optimal rotations and closed out a 25-19, 25-18, 25-17 victory. “It was tied 19-19 in Game 1, and then they won six straight points,” Troy coach Michelle Owen said. “We just couldn’t find a way

to side out.” And throughout the match, the Trojans couldn’t find a way to keep its top offensive players where they needed to be. “Jenna (Selby) and Marie (Rank) would be in the front row for about three points, then they’d be forced to rotate out,” Owen said. “We couldn’t keep our big hitters in the front row. When your big scorers aren’t on the court for 12 or so points, it hurts.” Selby finished with five kills and Rank had three kills and a block to lead the Trojans. Leah Selby added

Bees hold off Indians in war for CCC Staff Reports

MIAMI COUNTY

BRANDT — No one expected it to be any other way. And after an 80-minute war between two teams boasting milestone-reaching coaches, the Bethel Bees were the ones left standing — albeit on wobbly, bruised bodies — after a 2-0 Cross County Conference victory. “It was a very physical game. There were a lot of stoppages,”

said Bethel coach Bob Hamlin, who won his 300th game on the season’s opening night this year. “The game never really got into a flow at all. Newton played very well, and our kids overcame some adversity.” And after a scoreless first half, Kyle Hamlin — last year’s CCC Player of the Year — broke the tie and gave Bethel (13-1, 60) the lead. Later on, he assisted

Carlos Panzardi for an insurance goal, and the Bees held on from there to clinch at least a tie of the CCC title. “The kids played really well, especially in the second half,” Hamlin said. A week ago Thursday, Newton coach Brent Hodges won his 100th game. The Indians (8-3-2, 4-1-1) travel to Yellow Springs Saturday, while Bethel hosts Kenton Ridge Monday.

And he was right. Not only was this an important game to keep the Bulldogs in first in the Southwestern Buckeye League Buckeye Division, but it was also the last volleyball game to be held in the current Milton-Union gymnasium.

Ohio State’s Luke Fickell coaches against Michigan State Saturday in Columbus.

The great unknown Buckeyes, Cornhuskers mysteries to each other COLUMBUS (AP) — When Ohio State makes its first trip ever to play No. 14 Nebraska on Saturday, it’ll be stepping into the void. Almost no Buckeye player or coach has ever been involved in a game against the Cornhuskers. About the only person who has ever had any contact with Nebraska is defensive co-coordinator Paul Haynes, who was an assistant coach at Michigan State when the Spartans took on the Cornhuskers in the 2003 Alamo Bowl. “It was very loud,” he said of the 17-3 defeat in San Antonio, not Lincoln, Neb. “It didn’t go

well for us that day. We heard a lot of ‘Go Big Red!’” The Buckeyes will be trying to avoid hearing a lot of that on Saturday but they undoubtedly will. Nebraska fans are known as loud and rambunctious, but also respectful and knowledgeable. The game will be the first Big Ten home game ever for the Cornhuskers (4-1, 0-1). “From what I understand, they’re pretty jacked up every game,” Buckeyes interim coach Luke Fickell said. “It’s a night game, so that throws a lot into it, too.” Nebraska followers are among the most fervent in the sport.

Lehman ices D-II district championship BY ROB KISER Ohio Community Media rkiser@dailycall.com

NBA lockout hitting some cities hard Across the street from Quicken Loans Arena, a building that rocks and rolls from November until April as home to the Cavaliers, reality is posted on a wall. Harry Buffalo is one of the downtown restaurants in Cleveland that counts heavily on the beer-drinking, burger-devouring NBA crowd to keep its doors open. See Page 10.

His birdie putt on the final hole was just the icing on the cake. The smile on Ben Thieman and the rest of the Lehman’s golf team’s faces told the story as much as the Division II Southwest District golf championship trophy they were holding in the clubhouse at Weatherwax Golf Course Thursday. One year removed from one of the most bizarre finishes in history of the district golf tournament, Thieman’s final birdie putt

MIDDLETOWN finished off a 332 total for Lehman, one stroke better than second-place Middletown Christian. A year ago, Lehman was one of three teams to shoot the low score in Division II. Because the other two won the fifth-man tiebreaker, the Cavaliers did not get to go to state — although Thieman went as an individual, something he had described as a bittersweet experience. Thursday was a different story. “It feels completely different from last year,” Thieman said

with a smile. “Last year, the team really struggled at the end. Today, everybody played great. Tyler (Bergman) and John (Copella) both shot great rounds and Sam (Dean) and Mitchell (Shroyer) were solid. That (96) is not that bad down here.” Lehman got off to a torrid start on the Meadows nine, with Thieman and Bergman both carding even-par 36s and Copella adding a 39 to give Lehman an eight-shot lead at the turn, before they played the Valley View nine. The lead would hold up as Thieman and Bergman finished with 78s and Copella added an

80. Dean and Shroyer both carded 96s. “On the first nine, I hit the ball a lot better (than sectionals),” Thieman said. “I struggled a little bit on the back.” Bergman, like Thieman a senior, got off to a hot start. “I wasn’t expecting that at all,” he said about the 36. “I just tried to hold it together on the back. This feels great because I contributed. Two years ago, I played on the team that went to state, but my score didn’t count.” Lehman coach Elmer Schlater was not surprised by what he got from his “big three.”

It’s a trap: Bulldogs can’t get caught vs. Arrows BY JOSH BROWN Sports Editor jbrown@tdnpublishing.com

WEST MILTON

Carlisle. Dixie. Waynesville. The Milton-Union Bulldogs remember the Southwestern Buckeye League Buckeye Division games they lost last season, they know they have to turn those results around to reach their goal of winning the division title— and they’ve already knocked one name off of that list. Before they can worry about the next two names, though, they’ve got some other business to take care of. Milton-Union — which is one blocked extra point by undefeated Tippecanoe from a potential unbeaten mark itself — hosts 2-4 Preble Shawnee tonight in a game that has the perfect recipe

for a trap game. But coach Bret Pearce isn’t all that worried about getting caught in the net. “We’ve got to make sure we don’t let down, and sometimes that can be hard coming off of an emotional win like last week (3119 against Carlisle),” Pearce said. “But this team has good leadership. The seniors know what’s at

stake each week, and they’re doing a good job of keeping the team focused and prepared each week.” Carlisle — the defending SWBL Buckeye champ — beat the Bulldogs 42-0 last season, and Milton-Union was very convincing in getting its payback in Week 6. After this week, the Bulldogs go on the road to

Dixie and Waynesville, which defeated Milton-Union 30-6 and 63-34 last year, respectively. “We put a lot of stress on the kids in these games,” Pearce said. “With Carlisle especially, since they were the defending league champs. We want to be the champs, and we knew we had to beat them. And Dixie will be another redemption game for us when it rolls around … “… But we know that we’ve got to worry about the Arrows on our homecoming.” Preble Shawnee won its first game of the year but lost four straight. The Arrows bounced back in Week 6, though, dominating Northridge 48-13 — and that fact didn’t slip past the

WEEK 7

PREBLE SHAWNEE (2-4, 1-2) at MILTON-UNION (5-1, 2-0): The Bulldogs are one blocked extra point by a still-undefeated team from being undefeated themselves, and they’re looking for an SWBL Buckeye Division title this season. Preble Shawnee could be a tougher test than people are expecting, though, after the return of some key players. And Milton-Union is coming off of two emotional wins — and has to avoid getting caught looking ahead to two games on the horizon against tougher opponents. But don’t look for these Bulldogs to get caught in the trap. MIAMI EAST (4-2, 4-1) at TRI-COUNTY NORTH (4-2, 4-1): Miami East’s 19-0 loss to Covington last week didn’t hurt the Vikings much in the Division V, Region 20 playoff race, with the Vikings going from sixth to eighth — still in the playoffs. But Miami East has to avoid any more missteps, and that begins tonight at Tri-County North. Last season after a heartbreaking overtime loss to Covington, the Panthers caught the Vikings by surprise and beat them 13-10. The Vikings remember that, though, and they’ve got something to prove now. Tonight may be statement time. COVINGTON (6-0, 5-0) at TWIN VALLEY SOUTH (2-4, 2-3): To say that Covington’s toughest games are in the past is a fair statement. The past four games’ opponents — Bethel, Bradford, Tri-County North and Miami East — entered their games with the Buccaneers with a combined 12-2 record. Twin Valley South, National Trail, Ansonia and Arcanum — the Buccs’ next four opponents? A mere 10-14. Covington only needs to stay healthy and avoid slip-ups and it can coast to its second straight CCC title. NATIONAL TRAIL (1-5, 1-4) at BETHEL (3-3, 2-3): With its earlyseason trials now out of the way, Bethel gets to enjoy homecoming weekend. Standing on the other side of the field will be a pumped-up National Trail team — which just ended a 23-game losing streak with a slim 15-14 win over winless Mississinawa Valley, a drought that had gone on since Sept. 4 of 2009. No matter how amped up the Blazers are, though, the Bees were still one of the CCC’s preseason favorites — and are the only team to give unbeaten Covington a scare. It’s doubtful that the Bees are scared this week. TROY CHRISTIAN (1-5) at LIMA PERRY (1-5): They don’t get much more even on paper than this. Troy Christian and Lima Perry both enter tonight’s contest with 1-5 records. Both have struggled offensively, with Perry averaging 13.3 points a game and the Eagles averaging 11.2. Troy Christian is better on defense by a shade, giving up 29.0 points per game to Perry’s 33.5. And both teams have one common opponent in WaynesfieldGoshen, which the Eagles lost to 24-6 and Perry lost to 20-7. The Eagles have to hope it comes down to momentum and not home-field advantage. ARCANUM (3-3, 3-2) at BRADFORD (2-4, 1-4): Bradford has had a hard time breaking into the upper half of the Cross County Conference after last year’s 5-5 season, and the Railroaders will have to finish strong in their final four games just to match that .500 mark. That road begins tonight against Arcanum — a 3-3 team coming off a suprise 15-12 victory over now4-2 Ansonia, a team that knocked off Bradford 30-16 two weeks ago. But that whole ‘A’ beat ‘B,’ ‘B’ beat ‘C’ so ‘A’ should beat ‘C’ theory can be thrown away where the always-dangerous Jon Barbee is concerned. DAYTON CHRISTIAN (5-1, 1-1) at LEHMAN (3-3, 2-0): Lehman may have struggled in the first three games of the season, but once it hit Metro Buckeye Conference play it got on a roll. After dominant victories over Jefferson and Troy Christian, the Cavaliers showed they could win a close defensive battle, too, edging out Upper Scioto 7-0. Up next is 5-1 Dayton Christian, which started the season strong against lesser opponents but is now coming off a sound 32-6 drubbing at the hands of Lehman’s chief MBC rival, Fort Loramie. The Cavs will need to stay focused to stay on a roll.

“Jake, Tyler and Clay get a lot of ink — and they deserve it,” Pearce said. “But our offensive line has been the engine that makes our offense run. This is one of the best offensive lines I’ve had since I’ve been here. “Jake, Tyler and Clay would tell you that it’s pretty easy sometimes when you’re running through holes the size that those five guys give them.” And with Preble Shawnee sandwiched right between all of the Buckeye Division’s leading contenders, the Bulldogs know they have to take care of business as usual tonight before they can go back to checking names off their list. And avoid getting caught in the trap.

MIAMI COUNTY LEADERS STEBBINS (0-6, 0-1) at TIPPECANOE (6-0, 1-0): Stebbins will probably be glad that that other game in Miami County will steal some of the spotlight from tonight’s homecoming game at Tippecanoe. Since 2007, the Red Devils are beating the Indians by an average score of 46.8-5.5, with Tippecanoe not allowing Stebbins to reach double digits in any of those four games. This will likely be a game where Tippecanoe’s starters exit early to stay healthy for their huge final stretch against a pair of one-loss teams, Kenton Ridge and Tecumseh, and unbeaten Springfield Shawnee.

The Games

Bulldogs. “Their record is a little deceiving. They had some injuries, and those kids are healthy now,” Pearce said. “They’ve got a lot of speed, and we know they can hurt us with it. If we let homecoming distract us, we could find ourselves in a battle.” But with a three-headed monster in the backfield in Jake Finfrock — who leads the county in rushing with 850 yards and nine scores — Tyler Brown and Clay Minton, the Bulldogs have been able to dictate the tempo of their games throughout the year. And it’s been Jordan Poland, Jason Siler, Riley Shipe, Trey Overla and Wesley Martin clearing the way for them.

■ Troy vs. Piqua

STAFF FILE PHOTOS/ANTHONY WEBER

Troy football coach Steve Nolan gives instructions to his players during a practice earlier this season.

The makers of men Nolan, Nees have come to define a rivalry BY DAVID FONG Executive Editor fong@tdnpublishing.com Perhaps amidst all the pageantry — the cheerleaders swaying in rhythmic cadence to the melodious sounds of the Troy High School marching band, the hundreds of fans yelling in full throat — Steve Nolan got caught up in the moment. Perhaps, less than 24 hours away from the kickoff of Ohio’s most-played and most-intense rivalry, the Troy football coach let his guard down. Whatever the reason, Nolan walked up to a bystander at last year’s TroyPiqua pep rally and gave an unsoliciated confession akin to the President of the United States of America turning over the nuclear launch codes to the folks at WikiLeaks.

MIAMI COUNTY “Bill Nees is the best coach we see all year — he really does a great job,” Nolan said. “His kids are always so wellprepared. You’ve got to work that much harder when you play them — because you know how hard he’s working.” Getting either Nolan or Nees to talk about one another — particularly the week they play one another — is a prickly proposition at best. Neither seemed willing to be interviewed about one another for this story. Ask those who know them best, however, and the response is always the same — it’s not that they share an adversarial relationship. It’s just that the situation they’ve been thrust into with one another for the past two decades — lining up on opposite sidelines under the watchful eyes of two disparate towns — doesn’t exactly breed kinship. “It’s not something that’s really spoken about, but I know there is a mutual respect there,” said former Piqua and Ohio State defensive lineman Matt Finkes. In addition to playing for Nees, Finkes — now an assistant football coach at Hilliard Darby High School in suburban Columbus — was an assistant coach for five years on Nees’ staff at Piqua. “I don’t think it’s that they don’t like each other — I just think the game means so much to them. I’ve never really seen them in the same room carrying on a conversation — but I think that’s just because the game means so much to both of them. “I think they both are a

At some point, it does come down to coach versus coach. You can only teach the kids so much and they can only do so much on the field — at some point, it does come down to one coach trying to outsmart the other coach. You are constantly trying to get inside the other guy’s head.” Given their druthers, both coaches — both of whom are, for the most part, intensely private men — would prefer the spotlight not shine upon them during Troy-Piqua week. They would much rather talk about the players or the history of the rivalry. However, given their longevity and their track record for a combined 50 years, it’s become impossible to talk about Troy vs. Piqua without talking about Nolan vs. Nees. Nolan arrived at Troy as head coach in 1984. Since then, all he’s done is become the winningest — and longest-tenured — coach in school history, compiling a record of 199-92. He’s captured eight league titles and taken nine different teams to the playoffs. Nees arrived at Piqua as an assistant coach the same time Nolan began his coaching career at Troy. He became head coach in 1992 and, in 19 years, has a record of 152-58. Should he stay at Piqua for any length of time, he should have no trouble passing Buck Wertz’s school record of 165 wins. He’s taken eight teams to the playoffs and won a Division II state championship in 2006. More than wins or losses, however, for an entire generation of both players and fans, Nolan and Nees have become the faces of one of the mosttalked about rivalries in the state — in much the same way former Ohio State and Michigan college football coaches Woody Hayes and Bo Schembechler became the faces of that rivalry. Make no mistake, both the Troy-Piqua and Ohio State-Michigan

rivalries are bigger than two coaches or players — but, whether they like it or not — Nolan and Nees have become inextricably linked to the Troy-Piqua rivalry. “I would almost liken it to Woody vs. Bo,” said Alex Baker, a senior at Ohio State and a former Troy football player. “I think they are one of the reasons this rivalry is so special. For a lot of people, it’s always been Nolan’s offense vs. Nees’ defense. They’ve both had the same philosophy for years.” Another thing Nolan and Nees share — in addition to their mustachiod visages and incredible track records of success — is an innate understanding of what goes into the rivalry. Nobody in either community — no player or fan — can possibly fathom the intense pressure and scrutiny that goes into this game year after year. “They are both great coaches,” said John Apple. Like Finkes, Apple both played under Nees and later served as an assistant coach in Nees’ program. “I know they have a lot of mutual respect for one another — but I also know they try to beat the (heck) out of one another every year, too. It’s a lot of pressure on the both of them. So many times, the entire season comes down to that one game — and that’s all anybody wants to talk about. That’s got to get pretty lonely sometimes. Probably the only people that feel the pressure more than they do are their wives. “I think they will always be linked together. It’s been a great rivalry and they’ve been such a big part of it. Whether they like it or not, people will always remember Bill Nees and Steve Nolan together.” One other thing both coaches have going for them is the intense loyalty of both current and former players. Ask a former player — whether it be from Troy or Piqua — about Nees or Nolan

— and the response likely will be eerily similar. “Coach Nolan is a legend. And obviously they feel the same way about Coach Nees at Piqua,” said former Troy offensive lineman Jake Current, who now plays for the nationally-ranked University of Wisconsin footbal team. “Look at how many great players they’ve had. Look at how many games they’ve won. They’ve won a state title. They are two great coaches. “Rivalry games are always important. It’s about more than just football — Troy vs. Piqua is ingrained in peoples’ DNA. And obviously Coach Nolan and Coach Nees have been a big part of that rivalry. You don’t want to let a coach like that down. You really have to respect them. They give a lot to their communities — when you play for them, you want to give a lot back to them.” And the fact both coaches have been so incredibly successful only makes a win over the other that much sweeter for players. Beating either truly is an accomplishment to be proud of. “Beating a Bill Nees-coaches team was always a little more special than beating just anybody,” Baker said. “In our case, they were also the defending state champions, which made it even more special. You know their defense is always going to be solid, no matter what. You always know you are going to have to play your best to beat a Bill Nees-coached team. It’s going to be a battle every time you play one of his teams. “You want to go out and play for Steve Nolan. You want to win for him. You don’t want to let him down. For me, I wanted to be a part of Nolan’s success. Obviously he’s done a great job building a tradition at Troy. Nobody ever wants to disappoint him or let down that tradition. And I’m sure Bill Nees’ players feel the same way about him; there’s no question about it.” There’s going to come a point in the Troy-Piqua rivalry in which neither Nolan or Nees will be prowling the sidelines. Given how long they’ve been coaching, one has to assume that day will come sooner as opposed to later. When that day does come, it will leave a tremendous hole in a storied rivalry. “It will probably be that way the first couple of years after they are gone — I don’t see how it can’t be,” Finkes said. “They’ve both added so much, not only to the game, but to the lives of the kids they’ve coached. They have become ingrained within the rivalry. I don’t know who you could bring in after they leave to replace them.” Good luck to whomever that may be.

Seniors hope to keep their streak alive BY DAVID FONG Executive Editor fong@tdnpublishing.com The seniors on the Troy football team feel like they’ve been handed the keys to a Maybach sports car — and told not to come back with a single scratch on it. Troy enters tonight’s meeting with Piqua — the 127th meeting between the two schools — holding a four-game winning streak over its bitter rival. In a game already rife with pressure, that’s a heavy load to bear. “We know we’ve won the last four — and we don’t want to be the ones to mess that up,” senior quarterback Cody May said. “We want to stay on a roll. That’s a lot of pressure. But there’s always pressure in the Troy-Piqua game anyway. This is one of the biggest games of our career — we don’t want to cap it off with a loss.”

TROY Senior offensive lineman Ethan Hargrove agreed with May’s assessment. “It’s definitely important to keep the winning streak going,” Hargrove said. “We want to go out with a win — we don’t want to lose to Piqua our senior year. That’s really not acceptable in the community’s eyes or our eyes.” In addition to Troy defending its winning streak over Piqua, there’s so much more on the line, as well. Troy enters the game 5-1 (Piqua is 3-3) and sitting atop the Division I, Region 3 computer points playoff standings. A win by Troy would go a long way toward not only winning a Greater Western Ohio Conference North Division championship — but would also go a long way toward securing a return trip to the playoffs. “There’s no bigger game than this in terms of having an impact on our season,” senior inside linebacker Chris Blair said. “We’ve got to be ready to play.” Former Trojan players who were involved in fashioning that four-game winning streak have kept in close contact with Troy’s current seniors — letting them know how important it is to keep alive the winning streak they started. “We definitely cannot lose this game,” senior inside linebacker Zach Butcher said. “We have a lot riding on this. We have to win five straight against these guys. I still talk to some of the guys who graduated last year. (Former linebacker) Nate Fair has told me it’s important we keep the streak alive.” Senior wide receiver Ian Dunaway said he, too, has been hearing from former Troy players all week. “I still talk to Kyle (Terando), Brad (Armstrong) and Nate (Fair),” Dunaway said. “I was talking to Lee (Blackford) last week and he told me we better win. He said there’s no excuses — we have to beat Piqua. Regardless of what happens at the end of the season — if we were to win the rest of our games and get on a playoff run — if we lose to Piqua … it’s something I can’t even think about. I wouldn’t consider it a successful season if we didn’t beat Piqua.” For running back/defensinve back Marcus Foster, it’s not just about keeping the varsity’s four-game winning streak against Piqua alive. In his entire football career — from junior high through freshman football and on up to varsity — he’s never tasted the bitter sting of a loss to Troy’s rival. “I’ve never lost to Piqua — and don’t want to start now,” Foster said. “It’s going to be a tough game. It’s not going to be easy. We’ve got to go out and play four quarters. It’s the last time we’re going to play these guys.”

Anything. And everything. “They are all over the place,” the Troy football coach said. “They can obviously pass the ball, but they can run the ball, too. Their running back is probably going to go over 1,000 yards this season — when’s the last time Piqua had a running back rush for 1,000 yards?” The running back Nolan was talking about is senior Jon Dembski, who has carried the ball 106 times for 821 yards and 12 touchdowns. The last Piqua running back to top the 1,000 yard mark? Former Piqua and Ohio State star Brandon Saine in 2006. “Dembski is a hard runner,” Nolan said. “He hits the hole hard and he’s tough to bring down. He’s got a lot of yards after contact for them this season.” Piqua quarterback Taylor Welbaum, meanwhile, is a dual-threat for the Indians. He’s completed 42 of 74 passes for 417 yards with three touchdowns and four interceptions, while also rushing 60 times for 166 yards and

five touchdowns. His favorite target has been Trae Honeycutt, who has nine catches for 127 yards and three touchdowns. “Their quarterback can beat you in a lot of ways,” Nolan said. “He keeps plays alive with his feet. You think you’ve got him bottled up back there, then he breaks free and either completes a long pass or takes off on a long run. With him, a play is never dead until the whistle blows. You’ve got to be prepared for that.” As good as Piqua is at the skill positions, however, what really makes the Piqua offense go is its offensive line, Nolan said. The Indian offensive line consists of Senior Rob Wion (6-foot, 208 pounds) and junior Zach Martin (6-1, 233) at tackles, senior Rob Stollmer (6-0, 298) and junior Nate Wise (6-1, 249) at guards and senior Cody Hogston (6-2, 203) at center. “Their offensive line is outstanding,” Nolan said. “They do a great job with their offense. Really, if you look at the statistics, the two teams are pretty much equal. Rushing, passing, scoring … everything. Statisically, both teams are about equal on offense.” Nolan is right — through six games, Troy is averaging 330.2 yards and 32.4 points per game, while

MIAMI COUNTY Piqua is averaging 322.2 yards and 35.0 points per game. Troy will counter with a defense that is led by senior inside linebackers Zach Butcher and Chris Blair. Butcher leads the team with 69 tackles, while Blair is right behind with 68 tackles. Senior safety Marcus Foster has 50 tackles for the Trojans. Troy’s defense took a huge leap forward last week in a 49-15 win over previously-undefeated Vandalia-Butler. The Aviators went into that game averaging better than 31 points per game, but were largely shut down by the Trojan defense. “Our defense played well last week,” Nolan said. “Now Piqua presents a little different challenge than Butler did. They mix the run and the pass a little better — and a little different — than Butler did. Really, it’s two totally different offenses that you have to prepare for in consecutive weeks.” The way Piqua coach Bill Nees sees it, the team that makes the fewest mistakes likely will end up with the win. “They key for us on offense will be our ability to continue to play mistake-free,” he said. “We have one turnover in our last four games this year — we had four turnovers in our game (a 27-14 loss) to Troy last year.”

Change is inevitable Trojan passing game presents new challenge BY DAVID FONG Executive Editor fong@tdnpublishing.com There was a time when it was all so simple — could ball-hawking Piqua’s defense stop Troy’s groundchurning defense? These days — with advances in the Trojans’ passing game — it’s not quite so simple. “Now we’ve got to deal with the balanced attack of the Trojan offense, both running and passing” Piqua coach Bill Nees said. “Their offense has a ton of weapons.” And, for once, those weapons don’t begin and end with Troy’s running backs. Troy senior quarterback Cody May is now the triggerman in Troy’s offense. Through six games, May has completed 48 of 83 passes (58 percent) for 715 yards, with 10 touchdowns and just two interceptions. He’s on pace to throw for more than 1,000 yards this season — and in doing so, would become the first Trojan quarterback to throw for 1,000 or more yards in consecutive seasons since Tommy Myers accomplished that in 1959 and 1960. May’s leading receiver is senior Ian Dunaway, who has caught 19 passes for 338 yards and six touchdowns. Which isn’t to say the Trojans have abandoned the running game entirely. Troy still will enter tonight’s matchup with a

bevy of backs at the offense’s disposal. Senior Marcus Foster has 67 carries for 388 yards and six touchdowns, while Isaiah Williams has 45 carries for 349 yards and seven touchdowns. Troy’s offense will be matched up against a Piqua defense that has been, statistically speaking, near the top of the Greater Western Ohio Conference North Division much of the season. Through six games, the Indians are giving up 295.2 yards and 20.7 points per game. The Indians’ defense is anchored by a talented defensive line. Senior defensive tackle Kevin Richardson — a 6-foot-3, 308-pound beheomoth — is a major college prospect. He’s joined by defensive tackle Mike Haney (6-4, 267 pounds) and defensive ends Jordan Feeser (6-4, 247) and Solomon Carnes (6-0, 232). Those four will match up against a Troy offensive line that is long on talent, but short on experience. Four of Troy’s five offensive lineman will be playing in their first varsity TroyPiqua contest. Sophomores Alex Dalton (6-3, 260) and Seth Overla (6-2, 200) will start at tackles, while senior Ethan Hargrove (6-3, 265) and junior Cody Zeller (510, 220) will be at the guards. Senior Ryne Rich (6-2, 295) will get the start at center. Only Hargrove —

MIAMI COUNTY a three-year starter — has ever played varsity against the Trojans. “Their defensive line is huge,” Troy coach Steve Nolan said. “They will certainly test our young offensive line. It all starts up front for them. Their defensive line is capable of taking over games. They take up a lot of space and let their linebackers make plays — but they are also capable of making plays themselves.” Piqua’s talent on the defensive side of the ball isn’t limited to the defensive line, however. Senior inside linebacker Brad Dotson returns from last season. Cornerback Kindric Link, like Richardson, is being looked at by a number of Divsion I colleges. Speedy safety Travis Nees — the coach’s son — leads the team in tackles with 36. He’s also forced four fumbles. He, too, is being looked at by college programs. “They’ve got playmakers all over the field on that side of the ball — like they always do,” Nolan said. “It’s a typical Bill Nees-coached defense. They are always disciplined — it’s tough to catch them out of position. They are so fundamentally sound at everything they do. They run to the ball and they make tackles. It’s going to be a typical TroyPiqua matchup. It’s going to be hard fought. You are going to have to battle for every yard you get against them.” That much, at least, hasn’t changed.

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. Funds wired through Western Union or MoneyGram are irretrievable and virtually untraceable. If you have questions regarding scams like these or others, please contact the Ohio Attorney General’s office at (800)282-0515.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

TROY TV-5

Assign duties when you host a family gathering

Today: 5 p.m.: Community Bulletin Board 6:30 p.m.: Talking Pictures 7:30 p.m.: Around Troy

Dear Annie: My wife, "Elizabeth," is wheelchair bound with multiple sclerosis and needs constant care, which I have been doing alone for years. Our family members become irritated when we don't attend birthdays, weddings or other family gatherings. They show no concern for the massive effort on my part to get my beautiful wife up and around. It's always about them. When I had bypass surgery, only my mother and one niece and her husband visited while I was in the hospital. It's a me, me, me world for them. These relatives think all gatherings should be at my house with me doing all the work. They sit at the table watching me prepare, cook and serve the meal while simultaneously attending to my wife's needs. I have explained that I will no longer wait on them. Neither side of the family has offered any assistance or relief, and it aggravates the bejeevers out of me that they think I'm some kind of spoilsport. They say I am "anti-family." As my wife's disease progresses, this is only going to get worse. I have attempted to talk to the relatives, but their needs always supersede mine. Do you have any suggestions? — Maine Husband Dear Maine: Your devotion to your wife is lovely, but your relatives apparently aren't willing to put forth the energy to deal with your endless day-to-day needs. You cannot count on them to come through for you, so please do whatever is necessary to cope. Contact the National Family Caregivers Association (nfcacares.org) and the National Multiple Sclerosis Society (nationalmssociety.org) for support. And if you choose to host a family gathering, do not hesitate to delegate chores in advance. Have siblings bring specific food items. Assign clean-up duties to the nieces and nephews. Tell them you enjoy seeing the family, but gatherings at your home necessitate that everyone pitch in. Dear Annie: My problem is a so-called friend who believes she's an expert on everything. She sucks the oxygen out of every conversation and has alienated her family and most of her friends. Talking to her is downright painful. She has said to me, "Janet ended our phone conversation so abruptly it was almost as if she hung up on me." She is clueless. She also refers to me as her "best friend," which I am not. I have best friends and know the difference. Those special relationships are filled with give and take and have been nurtured for decades. I have known Ms. Knowit-All for two years and am more tolerant than most, but I think I'm done. I am not a mean person, and not returning her phone calls seems cruel. How do I end this relationship? — California Dear California: This is one of those situations where you have nothing to lose by being honest, and it might do some good. Tell Ms. Know-it-All that her need to impress everyone by claiming expertise in every subject gives the impression that she is insecure and makes conversation exhausting. Be polite and apologetic for hurting her feelings, and explain that you thought she should know so she can work on it. Dear Annie: "Suffering SoonTo-Be Ex" made the mistake of joking that he wished he'd grabbed his wife's sister. Now his wife won't forgive him. I can relate to his wife. My husband and I sat with a large group of friends one evening, and my husband made the comment that he had more fun when I wasn't there.

HINTS FROM HELOISE

Towel is a reminder to extinguish burning candles Dear Heloise: When I light cangles in my home, I immediately go to the front door and hang a dishtowel on the doorknob. It is a reminder to extinguish all candles before leaving the house. I also use candles only in glass containers. — Flo C., Baton Rouge, La. Flo, an interesting way to signal to yourself, as long as you are “clued” when you leave. There have been far too many house fires and deaths caused by candles left burning. Never, ever, ever go to sleep with candles still burning. Battery-operated candles also are a good safety option —

Hints from Heloise Columnist there’s no flame, and they aren’t very expensive. — Heloise HEARTWORM HINTS Dear Readers: Did you know that heartworm disease has been reported in all 50 states, according to the American Heartworm Society? Pets need treatment even in

winter! Heartworms can rapidly multiply, and the parasites can be deadly. Where do they come from? They are transmitted by mosquitoes. How can you tell if your pet has heartworm disease? It may be hard in the early stages, but as the disease progresses, you will notice your pet being extraordinarily tired, having trouble breathing and losing weight. Talk to your veterinarian immediately. A blood test will tell you if the animal has heartworm disease. Heartworm is preventable. There are chewable pills available that will save your pets

from this horrible death in the first place. The pills are given once a month, year-round, and are available from your veterinarian. — Heloise SIMPLE SERENITY Dear Heloise: After using clothespins for closing curtains and hanging up pants, my next favorite traveling hint is to take earplugs. When neighboring guests are noisy, earplugs may ensure a good night’s sleep. — Diane from Canton, Ohio Earplugs are my first line of defense when traveling. I even have a pair in my purse to wear on the airplane. — Heloise

HOROSCOPE Friday, Oct. 7, 2011 In the next solar cycle, use your manifold gifts to brighten your financial future. Your ingenuity regarding ways to both acquire and save money will be rather impressive and will serve you well. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Because you’ll know how to use your imagination and resourcefulness to skirt around obstructions that could impede your progress, nothing of importance will get in your way. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Associates will find you to be an exhilarating ally. Without even realizing it, you’re likely to set the right example that encourages others to utilize their assets to the fullest as well. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Speak up, because your approach to solving another’s complicated business conundrum is likely to be extremely clever and effective. You might even get a reward for your suggestion. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Although attempting to establish a solid business relationship with just a verbal agreement is not recommended, as long as both parties are honorable, it can still work out. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Channel any artistic urges you get into the beautification of your home or personal attire. Neither you nor anybody else will easily tire of your choices, regardless of how extreme they may be. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — Not to worry if there is a lot of conversational buzz going on behind your back, because it is likely to all be quite complimentary. In fact, several people will be copying what you do. ARIES (March 21-April 19) — Check your resources to see where you’ve been a bit wasteful, so that you can use this overflow down the line for getting a few things you truly need. Chances are there will be enough to go around. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Sincerity is the ingredient that closes deals. If you’re representing something that you truly believe in, you shouldn’t have any trouble making some good sales. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — If it can better your position, there is no reason why you shouldn’t make a few concessions, even if you have to give up more than you thought. It’s the end results that count. CANCER (June 21-July 22) — Let someone who is willing to work on your behalf get involved and pitch in wherever and whenever she or he can, especially if it’s within this person’s means to do what you can’t. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — You can disprove the axiom that says, “Nice guys finish last.” Demonstrate to others how you can achieve big objectives without stepping on anybody else’s toes. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Although you may not have a clue how you can accomplish what must get done, chances are you will have access to those who can fill in all the missing pieces for you.

SAY WHAT?

RECRUITING UPDATE

“We are the poster child for compliance.”

Warren Ball, a 2012 Ohio State verbal commitment, carried 27 times for 171 yards and two touchdowns in Columbus DeSales’ 27-10 win over Columbus St. Charles last Friday. Roger Lewis, of Pickerington Central, and Najee Murray, of Steubenville, both 2012 OSU commitments, returned kickoffs for touchdowns last weekend. Lewis went 98 yards and Murray went 95 yards. Jalin Marshall, a quarterback from Middletown in the 2013 recruiting class who is interested in Ohio State, rushed for 226 yards and had touch— Ohio State president E.

Ohio State at Nebraska, 8 p.m., Saturday, ABC QUARTERBACKS >

RECEIVERS

Freshman Braxton Miller remains Ohio State’s starting quarterback despite being replaced by his backup Joe Bauserman for the entire fourth quarter of a 10-7 loss to Michigan State last week. The question, though, is if Miller, Bauserman or any of OSU’s quarterbacks are ready to be the starter. Nebraska’s Taylor Martinez is a double threat quarterback, who sometimes can be a threat to his own team’s fortunes. He has passed for 823 yards and four touchdowns and rushed for 482 yards. Ohio State coach Luke Fickell says he might be the fastest player the Cornhuskers have. But his problem has been turnovers. He has five interceptions, including three in a span of seven plays during a 48-17 loss to Wisconsin last Saturday. Advantage: Nebraska

Just when it looked like some help was on the way, Ohio State lost DeVier Posey for at least another game because of an additional suspension and Verlon Reed is gone for the season with a torn ACL. That could mean more playing time for freshman Evan Spencer, who has caught two touchdown passes in limited action. Tight end Jake Stoneburner leads Ohio State with 10 catches. Reed had nine catches and freshmen Devin Smith has eight catches, three of them for touchdowns. Like Ohio State, Nebraska has no receiver with glittering statistics. True freshman Jamal Turner leads the Cornhuskers with 13 catches. Advantage: Even

OFFENSIVE LINE > After giving up nine quarterback sacks and being called for three false start penalties against Michigan State, there is no way to go but up for OSU’s offensive line. All-Big Ten tackle Mike Adams returns from a five-game suspension, which should help but won’t fix everything. Nebraska center Mike Caputo and guard Spencer Long stay on the field most of the game while six other linemen rotate at the other three positions. The Cornhuskers are second in the Big Ten in rushing yards per game (249.8) and third in scoring (37.6). Advantage: Nebraska .

DEFENSIVE LINE >

If Nathan Williams returns this week from arthroscopic knee surgery would be a surprise. His absence leaves Ohio State without a dynamic pass rusher. Despite all the despair over how OSU played last week, the defense limited Michigan State to 71 yards rushing. Jared Crick, a defensive tackle projected as a firstround NFL draft choice, leads Nebraska’s line. Baker Steinkuhler and Cameron Meredith are also three-year starters. Despite the presence of all those veterans, Nebraska’s pass rush has been unimpressive much of the time without the help of a blitz. Advantage: Nebraska

LINEBACKERS Andrew Sweat had a personal season-high 10 tackles in the Michigan State game, but that was more than the other two starting linebackers, Storm Klein and Etienne Sabino, combined to get. Lavonte David set a Nebraska record with 152 tackles and was a secondteam All-American last season. He leads the Cornhuskers in tackles (45) and tackles for losses (5) this year, but hasn’t had a lot of help. Advantage: Even

< DEFENSIVE BACKS JOHNATHAN HANKINS The 6-foot-3, 335-pound sophomore from Dearborn Heights, Mich., is one of the key players on Ohio State’s defensive line. Hankins has 21 tackles, third on the team, and has three tackles for losses and a sack.

RUNNING BACKS > Jordan Hall’s run as Ohio State’s No. 1 tailback will last at least one more game with the extension of Dan Herron’s suspension. He is averaging 72 yards a game the last three weeks after serving a two-game suspension of his own. Nebraska’s 5-11, 210-pound running back Rex Burkhead’s hardnosed style has earned him the label of being a “throwback.” He has gained 516 yards and scored eight touchdowns. He and Martinez both average 16 carries a game. Advantage: Nebraska

C.J. Barnett and Bradley Roby intercepted passes and OSU’s secondary made Michigan State’s Kirk Cousins look a little tentative for much of last week’s game. Roby and Barnett lead Ohio State with two interceptions each. Nebraska changed starters at three positions in its defensive backfield for the Wisconsin game because it was unhappy with how it was struggling to contain the opposition’s passing game. How did that work? The Badgers’ quarterback Russell Wilson passed for 255 yards and two touchdowns. Standout cornerback Alfonzo Dennard missed three games earlier in the season, Only Minnesota is giving up more points per game in the Big Ten than Nebraska (27.2). Advantage: Ohio State

SPECIAL TEAMS > OSU’s Drew Basil is 5 of 7 on field goals and punter Ben Buchanan is averaging 41.4 yards per kick. Nebraska kicker Brett Maher is 9 of 11 on field goals and both of his misses have been from 50 yards. He also made a 50-yarder. He also punts and is averaging 47.9 yards per kick. Twelve of his 33 kickoffs have been touchbacks. Advantage: Nebraska

OSU keeps reliving the past COLUMBUS -- Wow. Another press conference. What was that when Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith announced more suspensions for football players on Monday? Was it the third time he’s done that in the last few months? The sixth? It feels more like the sixteenth. When OSU and Smith first announced the suspensions of five players for trading memorabilia for tattoos and money in December, they said they had investigated the situation and there were no further violations. Then three more players were found to have taken money from a booster at a charity event and were suspended. Now three different players won’t play at Nebraska on Saturday night because they received money for work they didn’t do. And that money came from the same booster who doled out cash at the charity event. A booster who has provided part-time jobs for Ohio State football players for years. So who knows where that’s going to lead. Ohio State’s assurances are like your lawn service telling you they’ve taken care of the dandelions in your yard and there are no further problems. Then two weeks later, toad stools pop up. Then, after they tell you that’s the last of your issues, in another two weeks you find thistles scattered throughout your lawn. Hearing that college football players got cushy part-time jobs from a booster is about as suprising as learning that beer is often sold near college campuses. However, let’s not invoke the “everybody is doing it” excuse. Maybe the most unsettling thing about the latest violations at Ohio State is that two of players suspended on Monday, DeVier Posey and Dan Herron, were already suspended for breaking NCAA rules when they did it again. Smith tried to assure Ohio State fans that these violations were the actions of rogue individuals. But when you’re dealing with repeat offenders, you wonder why every financial transaction they made, every step they took wasn’t under the microscope.
